From the Opium War to the Eight-Power Allied Forces and the Boxer Indemnity, even though China became a semi-colonial country and its territory was divided up by multiple countries, it was not as afraid of Japan as it was at the beginning of the Republic of China. Because of the "open door" policy, the Chinese government, whether it was the Manchu or Republic of China government, was recognized by the great powers as a legitimate regime.
Yuan Shikai directed the entire negotiation process of Twenty-One. What we can see now is Yuan Shikai’s original version of Twenty-One, the revised version of Twenty-One, and the text of Japan’s ultimatum. For these three original books, Yuan Shikai marked them with red pen, vermilion pen, and ink pen, and marked key points in many places. In addition to these bullet points, Yuan Shikai's instructions on the Articles of the Twenty-One Articles included more than 70 positive and negative approvals, pointing out that those involving national territorial sovereignty were absolutely ignored.
Everyone knows that Japan has expanded its rights and interests in China and developed its power to the hinterland of the Yangtze River and the southeastern coast. Content No. 5 will never be discussed. Not only can this point not be acknowledged, it cannot be discussed at all. This point cannot be discussed. He instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to recognize the disparity between strengths and weaknesses at the time, negotiate patiently, and be able to negotiate the terms that are most beneficial to them. At the same time, he said he hoped to delay and prolong the negotiations with Japan as long as possible, because Japan proposed secret negotiations. He wanted to use the delaying process to attract the attention of European and American powers and carry out international intervention. This continued for several months, until May.
On May 6, Yuan Shikai stated in "President Yuan Shikai's Letter to the Provinces": China's coastal harbors and islands cannot be transferred or leased to other countries, and hiring Japanese consultants, Sino-Japanese joint police, ordnance, etc. are "the most important thing to control my life". The essential point'. In our country, it is inappropriate to break up and ravage the overall situation. But you should try your best to save one point, that is, you can take back one point of rights. The Japanese government finally became angry and issued an ultimatum to Yuan Shikai's government on May 7, requiring a reply before 6 pm on May 9, otherwise necessary measures would be taken. At this time, Japan assumed a war posture, with warships cruising in the Bohai Sea, Shandong and Fengtian increasing their military strength, Kantung under martial law, and Japanese overseas Chinese returning home one after another.
When Japan proposed an ultimatum, none of the European and American countries came out to support it, and some even planned to take advantage of it, like Russia. The British Minister to China, Julius Aldian, also went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to talk to Lu Zhengxiang at noon that day. He said: "China is already facing a serious critical moment of life and death. I have been in China for 40 years and have had a relationship with the president for 30 years. I can't help but come here today to say A few sincere words. The ultimatum can only be answered yes or no, and there is no room for bargaining. At this time, European countries have no time to look eastward, and the Chinese government has no other way to protect itself except to accept Japan's conditions." U.S. Minister to China Rui Rui Enshi also advised the Yuan government to "avoid direct conflict with Japan."
Yuan Shikai held a special meeting at Chun Ouzhai, Zhongnanhai, and consulted the civil and military officials of the Yuan government: "You guys, do we accept it, or do we give Japan a fight?" The civil and military officials unanimously agreed that we can only accept it, not fight!
Yuan Shikai believes that Japan has withdrawn the No. 5 clauses that are most unfavorable to China. The other clauses are no longer conditions for national subjugation. In order to avoid the situation from escalating, it can be signed. So that afternoon, the ministers of various ministries were summoned and they announced their acceptance of some of the requirements of the "Twenty-One Plan".
At 23:00 on May 9, the Beiyang government did not wait for the expected foreign aid. On the grounds that "the national strength is not sufficient and it is difficult to fight with an army", it announced to the outside world that it accepted some of the requirements No. 1 to No. 4 of the 21st. Later, Yuan Shikai informed the whole country that "we had no choice but to sign it. This is actually a great shame and humiliation." Before the people in the country said it was a great shame and a great humiliation, he admitted that it was also a great shame and a great humiliation. At that time, this kind of negotiation was impossible under these historical conditions. At that time, Hu Shi, a Chinese elite who had studied abroad and was already very famous at the time, said, "It should be said that this kind of negotiation has never happened before in the history of China. It should be soft when it should be soft, and it should be firm when it should be tough. Fight for it." This is the biggest concession to oneself."
When Wang Yunsheng edited "China and Japan in the Past 60 Years" in the early 1930s, he also said that when looking back at the entire negotiation, Yuan Shikai's command and leadership should be said to be correct. Some historians at that time, such as Chen Gonglu's "Modern Times" "History", Jiang Tingfu's "Modern History", etc. are also affirmed. At this time of the twenty-one negotiations, it should be said that this conclusion is pertinent. To say that he surrendered and betrayed the country has no historical basis at least.
On May 25, China and Japan signed the "Treaty Concerning Shandong Province", the "Treaty Concerning Southern Manchuria and Eastern Inner Mongolia" and 13 exchanges of documents in Beijing, collectively known as the "Four Civil Treaties between China and Japan", and the original draft of the "Twenty-One Articles" In comparison, China's losses have been minimized as much as possible compared to the original case.
So the last twenty-one points were forced to accept under conditional conditions. May 9th was designated as a national humiliation anniversary by the country. It was said to be a great shame and humiliation, but it was indeed true.
All of the above can be seen in the official history, and the author does not hesitate to pave the way with words and ink.It confirms the humiliating status of the Chinese state at this moment and Yuan Shikai's commendable efforts in this far-reaching treaty in modern history. As part of a rigorous history, no matter how bad the impact Yuan had on China's development later, to be honest, Yuan was a patriotic hero.
Yuan Shikai’s biographer believes that the signing process and results of the “Twenty-One Measures” demonstrated Yuan Shikai’s manipulative diplomatic skills and his heroic nature. It was a great success under the pattern of “a weak country without diplomacy”. For example, commentator Zhang Lifan believes that under diplomatic pressure, China finally signed the "Four Civil Treaties between China and Japan". However, when East Asia fell into an international power vacuum due to the outbreak of the European War, facing the huge pressure of Japan as a single country, Yuan Shikai tried his best to safeguard national interests under extremely unfavorable conditions. Yuan Shikai's handling of the "Twenty-One Articles" has maximized China's interests and has not allowed Japan to turn China into a second country. India (India was colonized by the British).
Hu Shi called the negotiation of the "Twenty-One Articles" a victory for weak country diplomacy. After Japan's negotiation, Foreign Minister Kato Takaaki stepped down to show his responsibility. Zhang Lifan believes that this may show that the Japanese consider their diplomacy to be a failure and Yuan Shikai's achievement.
If we further analyze Yuan Shikai's entire political career, we may also come to this opinion. There is no reason to say that Yuan Shikai, who was a hatred of Japan and hated by Japan, could make a 180-degree turn in 1915 and be easily defeated. Be a useless traitor to Japan. In other words, Yuan Shikai's twenty-one theory of treason lacks both subjective motivation and support from historical facts.
When the 21 measures were implemented, they encountered resistance from all quarters. The Japanese demarcated a large number of mines and forests in South Manchuria, and immigrated and cultivated land on both sides of the South Manchuria Railway, which deeply touched the interests of the Chinese people. Therefore, when people were protesting, they also thought, why did Yuan Shikai sign such a traitorous agreement? After the "Security Preparatory Committee" in Beijing issued a call for constitutional monarchy, public opinion began to say that Lao Yuan had betrayed the interests of Northeast China in order to gain the support of the Japanese. It makes sense when you think about it. This protest is based on this understanding.
However, when Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, the focus of the opposition remained on whether Lao Yuan had signed the 21 measures to gain the support of the Japanese. Later generations debated the so-called twenty-one points. Some historical books have also provided very incisive analysis of this. The general view is that these twenty-one points are true. Is Yuan Shikai really famous for signing this treaty? Japan's support for Hongxian's monarchy is in the eye of the beholder.
Many history books and novelists say that when Japan submitted the text of the Twenty-one Articles to Yuan Shikai, it said: "Please raise the president to a higher level." It means that if you accept the Twenty-One Articles, we, Japan, support your claim to be emperor, and we can reach this political deal. This is said to be the most important basis for Yuan Shikai to surrender and betray his country. In fact, as early as the early 1930s, when Wang Yunsheng compiled "China and Japan in the Past 60 Years", he pointed out that this statement was unfounded, unreasonable, and unacceptable.
It is of course necessary to provide further statements of history through the expansion of historical data and to give "sympathetic understanding". But no matter what, the "Twenty-One" still leaves the Chinese people with a sense of humiliation. This tragic historical tone will not be changed by the diplomatic efforts of the person in charge or the tragic speeches afterwards. This discussion cleared up Yuan Shikai's suspicion of treason, but it could not be further elaborated. The Twenty-one Articles had nothing to do with the subsequent imperial system, or had no historical logic involvement.
Although it is not a traitor, it is not certain that there will be any achievements. Historian Tang Degang believes that although Yuan Shikai and others fought hard against this treaty, it was still a treaty that was humiliating and humiliating the country. For example, it would be unthinkable to extend the lease of both Lushun and Dalian to 1999 and allow the Japanese to colonize Manchuria and Mongolia without restrictions. Yuan Shikai later vowed to work hard and "raise his head to meet" Japan. If the trajectory of history later turns out to be what he said, no matter what, the Chinese people will only shed tears of sympathy and say, "Little Yuan, I'm so sorry for you." Then Yuan Shikai will become China's first tragic president. "When he was in trouble in the country, his posthumous name was 'Han'!" Even though his body died, his reputation remained intact.
But after Yuan Shikai finished speaking, he forgot what he had said. He did not do anything to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but chose to buy a dragon robe and become the emperor. He was so stubborn that he proclaimed himself emperor immediately after the Twenty-One Articles were concluded. Because of this incident, there were various speculations about this fact: It is difficult for anyone to guarantee that they have no political exchanges behind the scenes. Political opponents use it as a target to attack him, which is natural.

You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing was woken up.
When he woke up, Zhang Hanqing felt something was wrong.
This bed is much softer, warmer, and larger than when he slept. The original energy-saving lamp on the ceiling has now become the glazed pendant lamp seen in movies and TV shows in Europe and the United States or in the upper class life of Shanghai. He blurted out: "My dear, what's wrong?"
In surprise, a soft voice came from outside: "Sixth Young Master, are you awake?" Hey, isn't this the tone of the Northeastern duo? As soon as he finished speaking, a fresh-looking little girl opened the door and entered the first floor with a face full of water.
In his remaining memory, he vaguely remembers that the girl’s name was Chun Ni. She was an orphan he rescued from a Japanese ronin in Fengtian City. Later, because he had nowhere to live, he took her in as a maid in the general’s mansion. Hey, Fengtian? General's Mansion? As soon as he was inspired, the memory of the person before possession became his memory unchanged, and all kinds of information came pouring in: I am possessed by Zhang Xueliang!
“Oh my god, that’s terrible. He will be a famous "Non-Resistance General" in the future. Although he is said to be a "great man of the century" and has lived a long time, his glorious days are not many. The September 18th Incident led to the loss of all reputation. He was imprisoned for most of his life and his reputation was ruined. It’s mixed, it’s too boring to be a human being, right? Just sleep like this without falling off the cliff or being struck by lightning, and then travel here. Life is really like a dream.
"Wait a minute, it's the 4th year of the Republic of China. According to his many years of experience in Taiwan-funded factories, when converted from Yuan to AD according to the Gregorian calendar, it is about 1915. There are still 16 years left before September 18th. This distance is neither long nor short. With my own ability, I can’t really get to this point, right? Can China’s tragic modern history really not be changed?
??This matter in the Republic of China was due to the melee between warlords. Lu Xun said well that "the city walls changed with the king's flag." Although it feels strange when I first wake up, I still know the big things. If I had known that I would be born in this era, I would have read more books anyway. I don’t dare to talk about other things. It would be great to do some simple attacks, riots, etc., and wipe out little Japan in one go. How could it bring so many disasters to China!
Zhang Hanqing’s greatest interest is studying geography and history. He has been fond of Chinese classical literature since he was a child, and has a strong interest in politics and military affairs. Ever since college, I and my roommates have made extensive quotations and discussed the general trends of the world, without mentioning the personalities. He also took the civil service examination, but without any family background, he failed in the interview even though he came second in the written examination. Even so, he believed that "everyone is responsible" for major world events. Even if it was just an act of war on paper, he was still happy about it.
The biggest pain in his heart is the more than 3 million square kilometers of territory still in the hands of other countries: Outer Mongolia, the Far East, including Sakhalin, the largest island in Chinese history, Tangnu Uryang Sea, Lake Balkhash, Ryukyu, Tibet South China, as well as Taiwan, which has not surrendered yet, and the South China Sea, which is still ravaged by clown countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines, is the same area as the land lost in history.
What he never forgets are the Opium War, the sacking of Beijing by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the Three Days of Port Arthur, the Gengzi Treaty, the September 18th and July 7th Incidents, and what the Chinese can never forget - the Nanjing Massacre.
What he is angry about is that Japan, which twice brought serious air disasters to China and twice blocked China's steps towards rejuvenation, still does not forget to constrain China in international affairs and has volunteered to constrain its master, the United States. China cannot get out of the first island chain. In addition to the actual occupation of the Ryukyu Islands, there was also the Diaoyu Islands crisis not long ago.
There is also Russia, "China's most dangerous enemy is in the north". It took advantage and behaved. The military and police shot our fishermen at will, and repeatedly used energy to play with China in order to maximize its interests in the Sino-Japanese energy dispute.
There are also the ungrateful and self-righteous North Korea, the unrepentant Vietnam, the Indian Asan, the Indonesia that owes a lot of blood debts to the Chinese on the eve of the new century, the Singapore that claims to be Chinese but has a yellow skin and a white heart, and clings to the thigh of the United States, pretending to be powerful like a stick. The Philippines, oh, and the boastful stick
"If the late Qing government had a little bit of backbone, why couldn't it have lost to that dwarf Japanese tribe in the Sino-Japanese War? Or should we fight again even if we lose? In fact, the strength at that time was enough to drag Japan, which had always been the only country that went to court, with China? Rather than mobilize the whole country to compensate 200 million taels of silver so that Japan can finally complete compulsory education for all people and fill the national treasury ten times!
If the warlords of the Zhizhi, Fengxing and Anhui factions in the Republic of China can be united, the peace talks between the North and the South are successful, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are not divided, and the Chinese themselves do not fight among themselves, even if they were as strong as Japan in the 1920s and 1930s, they will not dare to let the mantis block the car and the ants shake it. The tree, like flies, circled around this piece of fat China, and finally took a bite.
"If too many ifs, it also shows that the Chinese nation has suffered too many disasters to enumerate.
Every time I think about it??, filled with righteous indignation.
After reading many time-travel novels, Zhang Hanqing also often daydreams: If he could go back in time, it would be best to live in the Song and Ming dynasties and become an emperor, prince, general or something like that. At his own level, it goes without saying that he is a national hero. When his career is successful, beauties will surround him. . There is more happiness in the world than this!
People often say that history cannot be assumed. But for Zhang Hanqing, history played a little joke on him.
He really traveled through time!
Slogans came one after another from outside: "Oppose the traitorous treaty!", "Down with the Japanese lackeys!", "Be governed by others!"
Zhang Hanqing still wanted to confirm the situation. He said to Chuni: "What's going on outside?"
Chuni quickly tidied up the house and said, "It's not just a protest against the implementation of the 21 measures in the Northeast. It's been going on for several days. I heard that the general is very angry, and the general has sent troops to suppress it."
Based on the memory left in my mind, the general and the general are not the same person. The so-called general refers to the newly appointed Xiao Duan and the governor of the three eastern provinces, Duan Zhigui, whose military rank is general; the so-called general refers to his cheap father Zhang Zuolin, the current commander of the 27th Division, and the highest military and political leader in Fengtian. General is an honor and a military rank.
The most intense turmoil over the Twenty-One Issues was in early 1916, which was the eve of President Yuan Shikai’s ascension to the throne. Historically, it has been said that people across the country protested against this matter, and now it has affected even outside the country. It seems that the impact was not small at that time.
When you think about it carefully, the twenty-one points are really clear. If nothing else, it was vaguely mentioned in the middle school history that this was a traitorous treaty. However, it was only a general characterization. The real and specific situation is that it went through a lot of publicity when it was signed, which can be called a national shame.
“It’s shameful, but there’s really nothing I can do about it. Because the atmosphere of fear of Japan in China at that time was unprecedented in decades. The fear of Japan, or a morbid mentality, does indeed exist. Looking back in history, there were 20 years from 1895 to 1916. During these 20 years, China was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1895 and the Qing Dynasty was defeated; in 1905, the Russian Empire was defeated by Japan in the Russo-Japanese War. Japan took advantage of the remaining power of defeating the Qing Dynasty and Russia to look down on the world. Even Europe and the United States couldn't look down on it. What do you think, China? Only under such conditions could he dare to bully so unscrupulously.
At this time, neither the Japanese nor the Western devils can eat China independently. Although their appetites are big, their stomachs cannot bear it, and they are restricted by each other, so they can only act in the greatest political and economic interests. After the Republic of China, a series of traitorous treaties of the Manchu and Qing dynasties were inherited, which was the prerequisite for the victory of the Revolution of 1911 and recognition by the great powers.
After several years of seemingly "revival", the Republic of China has become a theoretically sovereign country and has been recognized by the great powers. Under the watchful eye of the Eastern and Western powers, no one had the ability or courage to get permission to monopolize China, so everyone lived in peace for a long time.
However, after a gunshot was fired in Sarajevo, the Western devils themselves were in chaos. So Japan, a dominant country, took advantage of the fact that Europe was at war and had no time to look around, and made a small plan to destroy China, so there were twenty-one Article statement. Throughout the entire process of Japan proposing the Twenty-One Articles, the Japanese sentiments of hatred and fear of Japan coexisted. Hatred is hatred for the Japanese who took advantage of the situation and proposed such harsh conditions to destroy China. This kind of hatred is indeed a popular feeling. However, this people's mentality is not backed by strength, and this people's mentality can only be a coward spirit.
So, under such historical conditions, the only thing we can do is to use arduous negotiations and arduous struggle to restore some favorable conditions for ourselves. Compare this incident to the historical alliances between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, and between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongolia. History is sometimes an amazing coincidence!
Under such a situation, we can only say that we should change to other forces and let other people be in power. That was all we could do at that time. But unfortunately, President Yuan Da, who decided to follow the example of King Gou Jian of Yue and take the daring action of lying on his back, soon made a big mistake in proclaiming himself emperor, so many things are unclear
After all, I was given very good conditions for emerging in this world: General Fengtian was also in charge of civil affairs, and in later generations he was equivalent to the provincial governor, commander of the provincial military region, commander of the provincial armed police corps, and secretary of the provincial party committee. A senior official. Unlike other time-travel protagonists who have to go through various hardships from the beginning, our pretty boy Zhang Hanqing is destined to start eating with a golden rice bowl.
Zhang Hanqing had just woken up from the great changes and began to face the major historical events he was facing. Although this matter did not seem to be successful in the end, the extremely bad impact it had on China cannot be overstated - in less than a few years after the formation of a modern country in the true sense, because of this incident Influenced by the influence of the Republic of China, the repressed desires of all forces in the Republic of China burst out. The Chinese people's mentality of separatist rule was fully demonstrated in the following nearly two decades, forming the three warlords of Zhizhi, Anhui, and Feng in the north and the nationalist warlords in the south. The opposition between the regimes has caused endless suffering to China (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)This situation was vividly displayed in the following nearly two decades, forming a confrontation between the Zhizhi, Anhui, and Fengzhi warlords in the north and the nationalist power in the south, causing endless suffering to China(remember the website address) :www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 2 Competition

Zhang Hanqing understands this period of history. This kind of thing is the same as the US Empire bombing the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia in later generations. Everything is backed by strength. According to the situation at that time, let alone Yuan Shikai, it would be the same for anyone else, and it might be worse for others. Without him, a weak country would have no diplomacy.
"However, things have changed and people have changed. Zhang Hanqing would not put himself in President Yuan's shoes. What he was thinking about was how to add fuel to the flames so that his father could quickly ascend to the throne of the Northeast King. In history, the karma and fate that resulted from this, and the various variables that resulted, led to Zhang Zuolin, his own advantageous father, taking advantage of the chaos——
From the perspective of historical development, his own body is the well-deserved heir to the Feng family. It is cost-effective to support his cheap dad who has no one to support him. Besides, it seems that his cheap dad has never given him anything in history. own political and military constraints.
In the remaining impression of the young commander he possessed in his mind, Zhang Zuolin is currently the commander of the 27th Division of the Republic of China, stationed in the provincial capital of Fengtian. According to the environment at the time, that was the powerful faction in Fengtian Province. Didn't the great man once say, "Political power comes from the barrel of a gun?" When war is in chaos, a gun is the king! As soon as he traveled through time, he looked up and saw the title of "Young Marshal". Compared with the conditions in which his book friends turned into slaves, settled down, and even had a son-in-law, God had already taken good care of him. Moreover, in the official history, it seems that this cheap dad was still very confident about him. Later, he recruited another group of people in the Feng clan. Then this group of people, led by Guo Songling, who had a bone in the back of his head, actually rebelled against the cheap dad and merged him. He almost failed completely and ruined the family's fortune, but his father also forgave him.
In modern history, Zhang Zuolin, his cheap father, later became the big boss of the Feng Clan. He also entered the customs twice. The second time he served as the head of Beijing for several years. He was regarded as the nominal and de facto head of state of China, which made the Feng Clan Reaching the peak of history, it was only due to various reasons that it failed in the end: first, it retreated outside the customs, and then the Huanggutun Incident happened and died. In the crisis, he later carried out the Fengtian Yiqi to completely show off his cards with Japan, and then the Nine? Eighteen. From then on, Feng Clan's status in Chinese politics took a turn for the worse, and his predecessor, Zhang Xueliang, was labeled a "non-resistance general" until the 1980s.
Don’t you dream every day that China will become powerful overnight? God has really given you this opportunity, but you must seize it! Although it is difficult to predict the future development, China has experienced many years of civil war and its broken body was still not destroyed by Japan in the end. It seems that God is blessing China. Using your own vision and giving your father a helping hand, you can naturally take over the baton of power and reverse history. It is not difficult to think about it.
There will be more times to use troops in the future. The sooner we grasp our strength, the greater the chance we will give ourselves. The sooner China can pull itself out of the quagmire of a weak country, the sooner its citizens will not be bullied.
In his previous life, when he was talking about people in the world, he often made a bold statement: "Give me a fulcrum, and I can lift the entire earth." Now that we really have a fulcrum, don't end up just lifting a ball! If you can't do something, it's really a waste of time. So, will this accident that happened right under my nose make my own story?
So Zhang Hanqing jumped up and said, "Quick, quick, I'm going to take a look."
After hurriedly washing up, I walked out of the room, but there were no four adjutants around me as I remembered, only a few servants from the General's Mansion. Also, in everyone's impression, he is still just a half-year-old child who studies sage books. Zhang Zuolin is in his prime and has been immersed in military affairs. He has not yet thought of training him to take over, so his personnel can be said to be zero. .
Fortunately, he comes from a family of gangsters, and his body has an innate adaptability to riding horses. Despite this, Zhang Hanqing, who came from a later generation, still felt a little uncomfortable at first. Fortunately, the horse is a good horse, otherwise he, a middle-level corporate cadre in the 21st century, would really not be able to climb into the saddle. Not to mention that I was really envious of the heroes on the screen riding high-spirited horses, but for our future young commander, the meaning is the cautious "wing", the "qi" is the "qi" of shortness of breath and the guilty conscience, and the wind is the "wind" of the roaring wind. ", Fa is "Fa" who vowed never to ride a horse again!
Wave after wave of people came to protest against the Yuan Shikai government's secret collusion with the Japanese government. Although these twenty-one things have not been seen, the "Treaty Concerning Southern Manchuria and Eastern Inner Mongolia" is a certainty. The "Fengtian Times" has long published the full text, so it should not be false. The Japanese are very open and want to extend the lease of the Lushun-Dalian, Anfeng, and South Manchuria railways to ninety-nine years. Aren’t these ninety-nine years still unavailable to the next generation?
"Japanese subjects who want to build buildings for commercial or industrial use or engage in agriculture in South Manchuria may commercially lease acres of land they need." Well, this is not bad. The Japanese want to build factories and engage in agriculture, so they have to rent houses on commercial leases. In this way, weAre they all landlords? Isn’t Little Japan our tenant? As for commercial rent, it should be negotiated. Huh? No, it seems that China has never benefited from foreign negotiations!
"Japanese subjects may live and travel as they please in South Manchuria, and conduct commercial, industrial and other businesses." Of course you can do business, but what does "anything goes" mean? Do you want to come when you want and leave when you want? Damn, this is still my home! ?
"If any Japanese subjects and the Chinese people are willing to jointly establish agriculture and ancillary industries in eastern Inner Mongolia, the Chinese government may allow it." What does it mean? It’s good to run agriculture and ancillary industries. Everyone has work to do and makes money. That’s great! However, remember that the Japanese habit is that as long as a large area is surrounded by land, the surname will be changed to "日"! Without land, what would we eat? Where to live?
This treaty is not good and we must oppose it. People say something scary: The Japanese are so cruel, there is really no way to survive as a submissive citizen!
Zhang Zuolin looked at the crowd. He was not thinking as far ahead as Zhang Hanqing. Since becoming the "big official of the feudal territory" three years ago - holding the twenty-seventh division, most of Fengtian Province is in his hands. Although there is Feng Delin, commander of the 28th Division, who is on an equal footing with him, he is based in Guangning (North Town) after all, and he still has a louder voice in Fengtian City.
In the entire Northeast, Fengtian is a great place! In terms of numbers alone, Heilongjiang in the Republic of China was not like later generations. It was much smaller than Jilin. Although Jilin was larger in area than Fengtian, its population was less than half of Fengtian. In an era without mechanized operations, having a vast territory and sparsely populated areas was not an advantage. In terms of population, Fengtian Province accounts for nearly 60% of the population of the three eastern provinces; in terms of economy, Fengtian crushes the other two provinces. Its geographical location is also an important node for China to control Northeast China. Thinking back to the beginning, the Manchu Qing Dynasty started with the capture of Liaoyang and ascended the throne in Shenyang. In later generations, Shenyang was the headquarters of the seven major military regions or the five major theaters.
Therefore, Fengtian's influence spreads far into Jihei, and controlling Fengtian is equivalent to strangulating the leader of the three eastern provinces. It has become synonymous with Guanwai due to the wealth of the three provinces in Guandong. From the first time he took office, the governor-general's palace of the three eastern provinces was built in Fengtian; and the provincial capital of Fengtian was the foundation of his army's continuous financial resources. Although the 27th Division was not included in the six towns of Beiyang at the beginning, its equipment is now no less than any other town.
The Japanese took a fancy to Zhang Zuolin’s strength and influence and spared no effort to support him. Because of this, he became dissatisfied with the position of a general. He already had the actual status of a governor, but he never got the name of a governor.
Don’t underestimate this name. Once it is taken by Feng Delin from the same province, it will be greatly detrimental to his development. Maybe it’s because the big tree attracts the wind? The Central Committee sent two consecutive governors, always ignoring their own demands and hints, which makes people feel chilling and vigilant. If it weren't for the true king who has a gun in these troubled times, he would inevitably be squeezed out!
The first Governor of Fengtian, Zhang Xiluan, was Yuan Shikai’s good friend and brother-in-arms. Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin were both indirectly recruited by him. His personality was somewhat like that of Lieutenant Su in "Water Margin". Yuan Shikai transferred this old brother from the Governor of Zhili to the Governor of Fengtian because Zhang Xiluan was kind to Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin. Now Zhang is the commander of the 27th Division and Feng is the commander of the 28th Division. They are both powerful factions in Fengtian. I sent someone else to supervise the service. I was afraid that the two division commanders would object, so I sent Zhang Xiluan to supervise the service. On the one hand, Zhang had been outside the pass for a long time and had a good reputation. He also had an old relationship with Zhang and Feng, so he should be a suitable person and place.
How do you know that times change and things change, and nothing in the world remains unchanged. Zhang and Feng held heavy troops and were both rebellious green forest figures. When Zhang and Feng realized that the old chief came to Fengtian because he relied on them as political capital, their attitude towards the old chief became very serious. He is cold and indifferent, showing no reservation in his words and deeds that he is dissatisfied with someone being above him. In addition, Zhang Zuolin was received by Yuan Shikai once, and his net worth doubled. His residence was crowded with people and traffic every day, and it became the de facto political center of Fengtian.
In Fengtian, poor Zhang Xiluan was an old man who was over seventy years old. He was fighting the world with his bare hands. He really couldn't stand the torment of his two old subordinates Zhang and Feng. Resign. He wrote a poem to his subordinates who stayed behind, saying: "As soon as I leave, I am waiting for a feather. Looking back in the Liao sky at night with the moon high, I stand alone and lead the horse and soldiers. I am afraid that I will stain my robes with tears."
Now the position of General Fengtian he left behind made Zhang Zuolin even more jealous. In order to express his determination to win, Zhang Zuolin issued an ultimatum to the Central Committee, which was a message to Army Chief Duan Qirui written by Yuan Jinkai, an important staff member of Zhang Zuolin and the head of the civil servants department: "The Battle of Guichou in 1911. , the president pays attention to the south, and uses Lin's power to control the north. Today, it is decided that the slanderous husband will be squeezed out, and the birds will be hidden in their bows, and their hearts will be chilled. The central government wants to treat each other with the positions of protecting the army, envoys and generals, etc. You can use the method of cage to apply to others, but you cannot use it to create a forest. General Cheng treated me very well, and I exchanged words with Wu Junsheng, and I strongly agree. I would like to lead the entire army to garrison in the remote place, in case of the critical moment. I hope I can escape from the province as soon as possible. , lest the disaster last forever."
I said for a long time, nothing more than telling Zhong | Yang: Don't fucking the set of killing donkeys. In the troubled times, Lao Tzu was hot. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?In order to wait for the fate. I hope I can leave Fengzhou as soon as possible to avoid disaster. "

Chapter 3 Everyone has their own thoughts

Zhang Zuolin directly asked the central government for his merits and rewards. In fact, he was aiming at the position of general. The so-called "exchange with Wu Junsheng" was actually a threat, which meant that if he dared to "exchange", he would be free. Action, when the time comes, "the disaster will never come", you will bear the consequences at your own risk, and his true character of a hero emerges vividly on the page.
But regular soldiers like Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui simply looked down on Zhang Zuolin, who was from a green forest background. Therefore, when Zhang Xiluan resigned under pressure, Yuan Shikai was still unwilling to appoint Zhang Zuolin as the governor, and instead sent Duan Zhigui to be the governor of Fengtian.
This Duan Zhigui has a great background.
Duan Zhigui, courtesy name Xiangyan, was born in Hefei, Anhui Province in 1869. Born in Beiyang Military Academy, he later studied in Japan. He once served as an instructor in Yuan Shikai's newly built Army Lecture Hall. In 1912, he was appointed commander-in-chief of the Armed Guards. In 1913, he was awarded the rank of Army General and served as Commander of the First Army of the Army. In August 1915, he was awarded the title of General of Zhenwu, responsible for controlling the military affairs of Fengtian, Jilin and Heilongjiang. He also served as the envoy of Tianxun and was granted the title of first-class public. During this period, Zhigui was Yuan Shikai's favorite, the number one figure in the Beiyang Army who later supported the Hongxian monarchy, and Duan Qirui's family and fellow countryman. At this time, he was only 46 years old. Because his position was a little younger than Duan Qirui, he was called "Xiao Duan". It can be said that he was young and powerful, had rich experience, had many titles, had a brilliant plumage, and had a bright future.
Before coming to Feng, Duan Zhigui was a general in Hubei, but his life in Hubei was not easy: Wang Zhanyuan, who was in charge of military affairs in Hubei Province, did not take Duan Zhigui seriously and always wanted to force Xiao Duan to leave Hubei. Both Zhang Xiluan and Duan Zhigui were looked down upon by their warriors, and they all cried to Yuan Shikai, especially Xiao Duan, who cried to Yuan Mian again and again.
Because Duan Zhigui's father, Duan Youheng, was Zhang Zuolin's guarantor when he was fostered. Later, in order to please Yuan Shikai, Zhang Zuolin once worshiped Duan Zhigui as his teacher, and Duan also tried his best to speak good things for Zhang in front of Yuan. To a certain extent, Duan Zhigui was kind to Zhang Zuolin. Therefore, Yuan thought that swapping the two tragic lovers, Zhang and Duan, might ease things a bit. So on August 18, the fourth year of the Republic of China, Yuan issued an order to swap the governors of Hubei and Feng. This arrangement was painstaking.
Zhang Xiluan felt that it was hard to live in Fengtian. When he received the order of Governor E, he was overjoyed. Finally, he was able to get rid of two men who didn't take him seriously and had a real opportunity to show off his skills. The satisfaction of the border that he had never experienced before suddenly came to his heart. When I was happy, I once wrote a poem: "Twenty years ago, I was a second lieutenant, and now I have opened my mansion in Ewangcheng."
He was naturally relieved to have left the wolf den, but Zhang Zuolin was devastated.
Although Zhang Zuolin came from a rough background, he was not blindly loyal. On the surface, he was inconvenient to refuse Xiao Duan's appointment, but in his heart he was still extremely unwilling. Just by forcing Zhang Xiluan away, the central boss was already very unhappy with him. Apart from receiving a tougher counterattack, he did not get any benefits. Now that his legs are short and his arms are thin, it is not the time to fall out. In addition, there is another big tiger from the same province, Feng Delin. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin suppressed his resentment for the time being and continued to contribute, cheering for Yuan Shikai and pretending to be extremely loyal. .
The president categorically denies the relationship between these twenty-one items and the uproarous "Security Planning Committee", but it seems that it is definitely not groundless. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen? On the front foot, the Central Committee was forced by the Japanese to sign, but on the back foot, the Japanese rushed to support the president's proclaimed emperor. Anyone would think of this! Although Yuan Shikai still hid his unwillingness, he had the opportunity to become emperor. In Lao Zhang's opinion, a fool would refuse it!
Zhang Zuolin will not betray his country to the point of making wedding clothes for others, but how much weight do he have to change the current situation in which the central government is weak externally? What can be done now is to be cautious, repair the impression with the president, and try to serve the new general beside him. Although General Duan has just arrived, he is an important figure who may determine his future. This time the president sent this new person to Fengtian, but he came with bad intentions. He regretted that he should not have sent the high-spirited telegram to the Central Committee before, which probably gave the person in power a bad impression of being "ambitious". We have made many remedies for this before. At this critical moment, don’t let anything happen!
Duan Zhigui looked at the crowd, his face ashen. He is a close confidant of Yuan Shikai and the general of Fengtian Province. In theory, he controls the military and political power of the entire province. This popular uprising occurred less than half a month after taking office. Although he has only been in office for a short period of time and the responsibility does not lie with him, the president should still hope that he can cut through the mess quickly and put an end to this incident as soon as possible. The trend of the central government's persuasion to advance is getting louder and louder. At this juncture, these dissonances cannot appear. Thinking about it, the president was very kind to me, but he was unhappy with his work, so he transferred himself from Hubei to Fengtian. Those who are confidants will die for their confidants. Now is the time to repay!
But from another point of view, this is not necessarily a good thing, at least it can make people outside the customs?The giants have expressed their opinions and tried their stance. This is also a touchstone for future changes between the DPRK and China. He turned to look at Zhang Zuolin, pretending to be worried and said: "Brother Yu Ting, we have to think of a way. Although the scholar rebellion will not happen in three years. But if this trend is allowed to grow, it may damage the president's reputation. "
Zhang Zuolin knew Duan Zhigui's origins very well. He could not confront this person head-on. He must hide his strength, bide his time, and wait for his chance to rise. From the beginning, he tried his best to flatter Duan Zhigui, and even "purchased precious antiques from time to time and gave them to Duan's father to buy his favor." Although he had not been in Fengtian for a long time, and his foundation was far less strong than he had been here for a long time, there were people in the court who were good at serving as officials. In the Republic of China, there were not many people in Fengtian who could speak in the central government. And Duan Zhigui was sent by President Yuan.
"Qingyu? Don't be ridiculous. At this time, you still take off your pants and cover your face. Is it interesting?"
"Suppression? I don't want to do such a shameful thing. The bastard Yuan Shikai wanted to be emperor in order to please the Japanese, so he sold his ancestors. I can't do such an outrageous thing. It's easy to use a gun. , but in the future, you will just pat your butt and leave, and I will still have to work here to earn a living. I can’t ruin my reputation. But what method should be used to stop this trend? After all, this matter has become a big issue, and I don’t do anything anymore. , It will also have a bad impact on my career."
??Lao Zhang Lulin was born, but at this time he did not have much awareness of "asking for life for the people". Including his sudden rise in the Revolution of 1911, it was just the result of the current situation. There is no position to talk about, only pros and cons. If suppressing the civil uprising can gain the benefits of being a governor, he will definitely act as a thug resolutely. Of course, if you have to resort to violence against your parents just to get a "praise" from the Fengtian Warlord's backstage, forget it, it's not cost-effective.
However, he had to accept Duan Zhigui's words, at least he still had to show his attitude. He nodded and said: "The general is absolutely right. These unscrupulous people know what national affairs they have, so they dare to talk about the Central Committee! If they dare to risk the disdain of the world and offend the general, I, Zhang Zuolin, will have tens of thousands of troops from the 27th Division." Guns are not vegetarian either.”
His meaning has been very clear. As one of the two pillars of the Fengtian army, he has the obligation and must be able to protect the safety of this warlord Duan. Of course, that's all. If he wanted him to go to war for Yuan Shikai's so-called "clear reputation", the conditions were not met. In addition, he specifically mentioned the tens of thousands of guns of the 27th Division, and also intentionally or unintentionally said to Duan Zhigui: "I have a background."
Duan Zhi is an old and sophisticated man, and he understands Zhang Zuolin’s words. At this moment, here and now, without any military power, all he could rely on was Zhang Zuolin, who was in the provincial capital. He knew very well that for this arrogant bandit leader, nothing without great benefit would be able to tempt him to do anything. He remembered what Lao Yuan said during the interview with him: "Zhang Zuolin is like a falcon in the Northeast. He doesn't want to work when he is well fed, and he will peck the hunter's hand when he is underfed." If he wants to contribute, it seems that he can't do it without spending some money. of.
He said slowly: "It's okay to offend me. It's just a piece of shit. Let others comment. But if you slander the president, it is unforgivable! In order to solve the dispute between China and Japan, the president has worked hard and The pain involved in working hard and sleeping hard cannot be explained to outsiders. Brother, my ability is limited and I cannot solve the president's problems, but I still have to do the moral call. I really don't want to see the president who is dedicated to serving the country but ends up in trouble. Calling names, these are the duties of our subordinates.
Brother Yuting, Guandong is cold and humid, so it is not suitable to live there for a long time. Brother, I am old and sick, and I have long wanted to return to Beijing to recuperate. There have been many disputes over matters in Beijing recently, and the president has asked for opinions many times, and is thinking of using this as an excuse to return to Beijing. After my brother leaves, I will be able to speak in front of the president about this candidate. In this troubled time, if my brother can help the President solve his problems, would the President not reciprocate the favor? "
On the surface, he is much more respected in Fengtian than in Hubei Province, but his family affairs are known to his own family. On the surface, he has unlimited fame, but in fact, he still depends on Zhang Zuolin's eyes. Zhang Zuolin was polite, but the toughness in his behavior still made him uncomfortable. He really wanted to make a fortune in Fengtian and return to the central government. With his relationship with Lao Yuan, a high-ranking cabinet minister was indispensable. Why should he act based on the expressions of his subordinates?
He used both kindness and power, hoping to use Zhang Zuolin's hand to calm the public opinion outside the country, to give credit to the central government's wise master, and to gain political capital for himself.
"Don't tell me, what he said touched Zhang Zuolin's heart. After expelling Zhang Xiluan to no avail, he deeply understood that his wings were too weak, so weak that a random gust of wind from the center could break his body. In the vast ocean, as a captain, his boat is too small and will be capsized by a big wave at any time. For now, he can only silently strengthen his body and seize any opportunity to make his muscles stronger.
There is only one way to be powerful, and that is to succeed the warlord. If he can legitimately take over Duan Zhigui's position as military governor, he can reasonably and legally use various political and economic resources in Fengtian Province to enrich himself. If Duan Zhigui will leave Fengtian as he said, then it is worth taking a gamble on him. I'm just afraid that this is an expedient measure for Duan!

"Lao Zhang is not a good man and a believer. As long as something is beneficial to him, he will do it without hesitation; anything that is harmful to him will definitely be blocked and killed. Li Dazhao, the most famous "Southern Chen and Northern Li" in the official history of China, was buried under Lao Zhang's iron hoe; when the Soviet staff in China threatened his rule, he copied it without any scruples. They invaded the Soviet Embassy in China and expelled them from the country. This was a bold move.
It seemed that the crowd was getting closer and closer, so Zhang Zuolin had to take action. He suddenly had several evil ideas: "I'll be a good person first and try to persuade him myself. If I can persuade him, that's fine. If he can't be persuaded, Xu Wu will have to be a villain. However, I have to do it afterwards. We have to push the matter to Xiao Duan, who made him the military governor!" Xu Wu is Zhang Jinghui's nickname, one of his regimental commanders and his brother.
He had just started to think about it and was about to arrange for his men to send out military intervention. Suddenly he saw Zhang Hanqing and his entourage galloping towards the crowd in the distance. The sound of galloping horse hooves could be clearly heard among the voices of the people.
"This little six, if you don't stay at home well, why are you here?" Thinking of the eldest son talking about the current situation of angry youth, Zhang Zuolin felt nervous for no reason: "Is it possible that he wants to help the marchers? This It’s terrible. In this critical moment, political stance is very important. Damn it, I’ve done half a month of catering, so don’t let him ruin it all at once!”
To be honest, Zhang Zuolin has high hopes for Zhang Xueliang. This little Liuzi was smart and witty since he was a child, and was capable of literature and martial arts. He was highly praised by the disciples of Jin Xihou, a great scholar in Fengtian. People at that time called him a tiger son of a general. However, he is still young and handles some things in a childish and idealistic way. For example, regarding the Fengtian parade, I had a heated argument with myself a few days ago, saying that "everyone is responsible for the country's troubles," blaming myself for not supporting the people's spontaneous patriotic enthusiasm. At the critical moment, don't let him undermine you. It will leave a bad impression on the general!
"The blame lies with the Fengtian YMCA run by foreigners. They only play some novel foreign gadgets there, but they still pursue progress. This is unreasonable. You know those foreigners are not good people. It seems that because I have been paying attention to the overall situation of Fengtian, I have indulged in his studies. If he causes any trouble, he will ban the Youth Association when he returns!
Zhang Xueliang was an idealist when he was young, including when he later became the deputy commander-in-chief of the navy, land and air force of the Republic of China. His scholarly energy, or impulsiveness, is famous in history. Things like the Fengtian Rebellion Incident, the Tiger Hall Incident, the Xi'an Incident, and those who traveled thousands of miles to plead guilty and were imprisoned for life, etc., are all the result of this kind of impulse.
Of course, at this time, even if Zhang Zuolin had a shocking dream, he would not have thought that his precious son had been adjusted perfectly
Zhang Hanqing approached the crowd, pulled the reins, and his beloved horse "Su Lian" slowed down in a humane manner. It was indeed a good horse. If memory serves me correctly, Wu Junsheng, known as the "King of Horses", personally selected this as a gift for his 14th birthday. This Wu Junsheng is known for his love of horses. It is said that he already owns hundreds of horses. He must have good taste. You should know that Wu Junsheng was only the garrison envoy of Taoliao and the commander of Fengtian's 2nd Cavalry Brigade at this time. Although he was promoted to lieutenant general last year, he still needed to curry favor with General Fengtian. Needless to say, the horse he gave to Zhang Hanqing was excellent.
Dozens of green horses galloped around a silver-maned horse in front of everyone. When approaching the crowd, the passenger suddenly lifted the reins gently and the horse neighed, and immediately stopped moving forward. Originally, the people of Guandong had high mountains and dense forests, and they mostly relied on horses to travel, so it was not surprising that quite a few people were good at riding horses, just like the Mongolians were born warriors on horseback. But when the war horse stopped and the half-grown child on the horse was revealed, people still took a few more glances.
It’s pretty good to have such skills at this age. Moreover, someone in the crowd recognized that this half-grown child was the eldest son of General Fengtian's family. With just a passing glance, almost the entire crowd's attention was attracted here.
Zhang Hanqing wanted to wipe the sweat off his face. He knew his own affairs well, and he definitely sweated more from fear than exhaustion during this trip. Fortunately, it is a good horse, and there is a follower who knows horses to give some pointers along the way, so he can handle it without showing any unfamiliarity. He jumped off the horse, held the horse with one hand, and shouted with the other: "Dear fellow villagers, Xueliang has a few visceral words, please allow me to spit them out!"
The reason why I joined in so eagerly is because I care too much about my current identity. Major General, your starting point is not weak, but you can't let things go wrong. Although we knew that the trend of history was that the Fengcian faction would continue to grow, how could we know that the inertia of history would not deviate slightly because of my own accident?
Zhang ?Lin was afraid that he would get into trouble, and he was also afraid that his cheap dad would get into trouble! Fengtian was the foundation of the later Fengtian system, but we couldn't destroy the foundation by not seeing the situation clearly at this time. You must know that it only took one year from the beginning to the end of Lao Yuan's proclaiming himself emperor! It is unwise to tie political reputation to Lao Yuan at this time!
The crowd has stopped, and thousands of pairs of eyes are looking at this celebrity in Fengtian City, the handsome young master in the general's palace. It's not that he has much influence, but it's actually his instinctive reaction to the powerful children under the power of the warlord. You must know that it was only 4 years after the Qing Emperor abdicated, and Western thought was far from mature. Looking at the development of society later, have you ever seen a common man with a flat head talking to a township head face to face with ease? I'm afraid just a village chief is enough to get people to fawn over, but what if it's the county head, mayor, provincial governor or even a member of the Central Committee? What's more, the young marshal of the general's palace who had a heavy army in that era and the future heir to power in Fengtian Province?
It is too early to call him a marshal, because after all, Zhang Zuolin is just a division commander. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot open a government office. Only when he becomes a general can he be called "marshal". As for being called "Commander", that is an honor reserved only for patrol envoys. Where can a young marshal come from without a marshal? The current title "Young Marshal" is just a common honorific title used by Chinese people.
The people marching were mainly initiated and guided by the youth of Fengtian Academy. There was a group of intellectuals here who were concerned about the country and the people. Under the imagination of Western thought, they already had the germination of revolutionary ideas. However, it was far from enough to reach the theoretical heights of the later Communist Party. They were just because Fengtian was located outside the customs and far away from the center, and the Beijing government was beyond the reach of it.
In addition, those who clamored and cheered were mostly businessmen and workers who were dissatisfied with the current situation or with the Japanese economic plunder in the Northeast. They just used the 21st excuse to express their anger. To be honest, I heard that President Yuan Da no longer wants to be president, but wants to be emperor. What do you want to do? It’s really hard to compare whether the president or the emperor can do a good job in China. After all, there is no difference between the president and the emperor now. They only have the same title. However, if he wanted to please the Japanese, it would be intolerable to exchange the interests of Fujian and Manchuria and Mongolia. These young student "armies" led by them had also heard to some extent about the Young Marshal's open-mindedness and open-mindedness, as well as their dissatisfaction with the Japanese showing off their power in Fengtian. One of the leading student leaders said to everyone: "The Young Marshal is the most knowledgeable person in Fengtian Mansion. If you are a human being, let’s first listen to his attitude.”
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????— ??How can you not feel overwhelmed by being praised by others in public? With the young marshal taking the lead, isn't it more significant than a bunch of people gathering together and shouting to put pressure on the authorities? This is the dark side of some people.
In Fengtian, Zhang Hanqing’s predecessor Zhang Xueliang is quite well-known. In addition to his sensitive status as a major general, he also met many people when he received new education at the Fengtian YMCA, a gathering place for progressive youth in Fengtian. Of course, the real major general learned tennis, table tennis and golf there, and was also immersed in dancing, just under the guise of learning English. But no matter what, the effect of celebrities can be enjoyed everywhere.
Zhang Hanqing worked as a training specialist in the factory, and he usually talked eloquently in front of hundreds of people. The people who are facing these demonstrations now do not feel any pressure. He waved his hand in vain and said in a deep voice: "Everyone who has heard that the Japanese and the president privately signed the so-called twenty-one contract to achieve the purpose of establishing a constitutional monarchy, or who has said anything to the Han Qing, is absolutely groundless. You are not good at it. Talent, and often come into contact with some confidential letters. Three people who really don’t believe it:
First, if it is a secret agreement, how can it be widely known and cause an uproar throughout the country? There is no doubt about your patriotism. However, if it is a plan of anti-Chinese traitors to revive disputes between the central and local governments, disrupt the foundation of the unity of the Republic of China, and benefit others, then it is too great. For the current plan, all the central officials should listen to his words and observe his actions. The facts will soon be made known to the world.
Secondly, since the founding of the Republic of China, all people have benefited from its kindness, people's minds have settled down, and the world has returned to its heart. After decades of hard work by tens of millions of our compatriots, as well as the shocking changes of our president, the Tatars were driven out, and the Qing emperor abdicated, and the complete country we had gained, how could we give it to others so easily? The princes of the current dynasty are all outstanding men in the world. They should know the hearts and minds of the people. How can they dare to risk the disapproval of the world and get a small profit?
Third, all the central officials went through all kinds of difficulties before they achieved the harmony of the Republic of China. Duke Yuan of the Central Court was even more outstanding among men. He used thunderous means but showed the heart of a Bodhisattva. My father has served the central government and the president for a long time, and I deeply respect his noble moral character and rigorous self-cultivation. There is a common saying among Xueliang and his subordinates: "Not all those who attach themselves to the public are gentlemen, and those who serve as public servants must be villains." 'Since taking office, we have tried our best to safeguard the sovereignty of Mongolia and Tibet with a fistful heart. It is well known that. Although Article 21 is hated by the people, it was originally signed for a reason and has been announced to the world. Right and wrong are beyond the words of a young man. However, among the twenty-one rumors that have arisen, some people must slander our president in order to keep it secret. "
Duan Zhigui was listening with his ears pricked up. Of course, he had to pick off Lao Yuan first. Now his cheap dad still needs him! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)I picked Lao Yuan clean, and now my cheap dad still needs him! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 5: Calming the Chaos (Part 2)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
It is better to be in charge than to be an official now, and flattering Lao Yuan is definitely not as effective as flattering Duan Zhigui. You can also take the opportunity to beautify the cheap dad, so Zhang Hanqing continued to give his speech:
"Why do the Japanese dare to press forward so hard? In addition to the country's weakness, there are also some opposition forces who want to follow Wu Sangui's example and introduce foreign troops to disrupt our country. The southern regime cannot lose its power, and the imperialist sphere of influence has torn China into pieces. Under these circumstances, China What is more needed is a centralized central government to complete the unification. How to develop the country's constitutional government has its own temple to coordinate, and there are generals sitting in the sky to strategize. It is not suitable for us to follow others' opinions and just wait and see what happens.
What the Japanese do in Fengtian must not fall outside the scope of the treaty. My father was also worried about this, but he was alone and the situation was like this, so there was nothing he could do. To wash away the shame, we must work together and it is not the fault of one person.
Xueliang hereby appeals to all elders to put the overall situation first and wait patiently. At present, foreign enemies must not mess up their positions and carry out treacherous plans. The pure will become clear, and the turbid will become turbid. The people are awake and ghosts and gods are hard to bully. You must know that today’s world is dominated by citizens. The great president has plans for the world, and he will definitely live up to the people of the world. "
Zhang Hanqing took a long breath and said in his heart: "I'm ashamed. Fortunately, I have the opportunity to express my words in peacetime. I really can do it at critical moments."
Others only thought that he was vigorous, well-founded and dazzling. Only Zhang Zuolin wondered: "The sun is coming out from the west. Where did Xiao Liuzi learn such good eloquence?"
These words were reasonable and well-founded. The people in the parade just heard what they heard and acted impulsively because they were worried about the world. After looking at each other, seeing that the good parade was about to be ruined, a young man in the lead said loudly: "Don't believe these old officials. Nonsense, the current central government is trying to fool the people internally and betray the country externally. The General's Mansion in Fengtian and the city of Beijing are a nest of snakes and rats. The Japanese are gradually encroaching on our northeastern territory. Our Chinese nation is in danger. If our compatriots don't rise up, If you resist, your country will be destroyed!"
" Parades are fine, but calling him "bald man" in front of a monk is not a waste of money. He kills bandits without changing his expression. Seeing him speaking excitedly, the people nearby saw that he was speaking indiscriminately. They were worried that the young man would cause trouble, so they quickly tugged on his lapel and whispered, "Stop." Sharp, indeed, people cannot be judged by their appearance.
Zhang Hanqing somewhat admires this man's courage. Grandma, you have never suffered a loss, right? These days, with the war in chaos, wouldn’t it be easier for the authorities to kill a bunch of people than to kill a chicken? If during the Cultural Revolution in later generations, insulting the leader would be a counter-revolutionary act and you would be unable to stand up for two lifetimes, and there would be no vindication. Even after the liberalization of speech, in this case, you will have to enter the bureau, fight with thieves and prostitutes, and wait for a few days to be reformed. If it gets serious, something will happen: "hide and seek, die in the shower, die in the wash, etc." Die by drinking porridge, die by excitement, die by drinking water, die by nightmares, die by falling on the bed, die by sleeping in the wrong position, die by picking pimples, die by going to the toilet, die by lack of evidence, die by covering up with blankets, etc. He became famous in the magical land of China and created a new legend. At the same time, he also made a bright mark on the "Complete List of Deaths in Chinese Detention Centers". Isn’t there a saying that goes, “If you want to know how many ways to die, you can find out in the detention center”!
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT THE HIGH TALENT Oh, I'm thinking too much.
Fortunately, the atmosphere at that time was more upright, and it was rare for people to be punished for their words. Leaders, public figures, have to pay attention to their magnanimity and so on. Besides, at this time, the trend of Danzo is gradually spreading from the West to the East. Those of us who are the bosses with guns have not yet deeply understood the true meaning of Danzo, haven't we? If you don't understand it clearly, you can't act casually. We have lagged behind culturally, and we can't lag behind in our actions, otherwise we will be ridiculed, right? Didn’t you see that during the May 4th Movement, government officials were beaten and their homes were burned down, and everything was fine? Didn’t you see that the journalist who later caused a sensation in the Republic of China by making fun of President Xu Shichang was only fined 100 yuan?
“But if these rough and tumble authorities knew that there would be a dictatorship behind the war, they would probably raise the stick of dictatorship without hesitation. The splendid history of the Republic of China may have less embellishment and warmth and more violence and helplessness. However, Zhang Zuolin's face did not look good. To be honest, I put my cheap dad Zhang Zuolin on an equal footing with President Yuan Shikai in Beijing, so I still promoted him at this time. Let's just say bad things. This cheap dad shouldn't be too downcast. It's too ungraceful in front of so many people.
The young man’s words are, to put it mildly, true, but from Zhang Hanqing’s standpoint, now is not the time. Didn’t I just wake up and haven’t figured out the situation yet? At least it makes me sober and think about the future! But no matter what, these passionate young people are the backbone of China's future and are heading towards the positiveGuidance on the correct path is much better than all the enthusiasm, right? He just looked at this man indifferently and said coldly: "You can make the Japanese surrender by shouting a few slogans? Then I will leave a headline in Fengtian Daily tomorrow for my brother to curse!"
The young man's already excited tone suddenly became much louder. He stared directly at Zhang Hanqing and said: "If China's 40 million people don't even have the right to shout and have no ideas, China will really die. Today I Even if you are a ghost, you still have to shout out the voices of the people, rather than calling yourself a young commander in vain and shrinking your head and being a tortoise!"
???????????? It’s really hard to be afraid of someone who will put your life at risk, but if you don’t risk your life, you’re also afraid of being shameless. Zhang Hanqing knew that questioning and quarreling on such occasions would not help calm the matter. Once he becomes angry and gets into a physical conflict, it will only add fuel to the fire, and the situation that may have finally been calmed down will resurface. This is exactly what the other party wants. In this case, you have to cut the knot quickly and smash the opponent to death with a stick!
He kept thinking in his heart, "I'll show you something nice later," but he said, "I'm not bragging, just comparing my voice. There are not many opponents in Fengtian. If I can drive away the great powers by shouting, I will fight today." I don't want to eat or drink, so I just shout here. But is it useful? My compatriots, what the great powers can listen to is not the cry, but the size of the fist, and the comparison of iron and blood! On this point, I am the same as everyone else The Fengtian Martial Arts Hall is about to reopen to recruit officers. If our compatriots really want to protect their homes and country, then it will be useful to pick up a gun and stand tall and speak. Are you really a hero? I'll see you in the military camp. Can you? Refuse the unreasonable demands of the Japanese, and the barrel of the gun will work. I am afraid that some people will shout slogans loudly in the sky, and they will be intimidated when the bayonets are actually loaded."
It is better to provoke the general than to invite him. He said "cowarded" with a hint of joking, and the crowd suddenly burst into laughter, breaking the tense atmosphere. This is exactly Zhang Hanqing's effect. He first raises his voice and then suppresses it. Using drama to control anger and release people's anger in some way is an excellent way to eliminate people's resentment.
How could the young man bear this? He swore loudly: "My King Yizhe swears to God that from today onwards he will join the army, not shying away from swords and guns, and will contribute all his strength to the country until his death!"
Zhang Hanqing thought, Wang Yizhe? The central backbone of the Northeast Army in history, his right-hand man in the future, the captain of the guard after Jiang Huanan's misfortune, a highly capable training talent and political worker, turned out to be here! Originally, I wanted to find a few loyal subordinates after my rebirth, but now I have a good start. It's really hard to find nowhere, and it takes no effort to get them!
"Wang Yizhe in real history, if Zhang Hanqing hadn't met him now, he would have joined the Baoding Army Officer School. It would be five years later in official history to see him again.
Zhang Hanqing is very happy, the kind of happiness that comes after finally finding a confidant, friend and comrade after traveling through time. He is not afraid of Wang Yizhe's impulsiveness. Young people should be a little bloody - who hasn't been young yet? The biggest advantage of time travel is that you have a pair of sharp eyes, and you are familiar with the past, major events, and celebrities. There are many capable talents in the three northeastern provinces and even the whole country. It is an ongoing and urgent matter to select capable and loyal people to build his future small team. Wang Yizhe will be a very important one among them.
However, he said calmly: "Okay, the army needs a good-hearted man like you. Let's meet in the army camp lecture hall. I'll wait for you inside!" These very encouraging words aroused the crowd's excitement. Emotions, many people also shouted: "Count me in!"
The earliest name of the Army Camp Lecture Hall was "Martial Arts Lecture Hall of the Three Eastern Provinces", which was founded by Xu Shichang, the earliest governor of the three Eastern Provinces. It was suspended and re-established before and after the Revolution of 1911. It was renamed the 27th Army Division Battalion Lecture Hall and was divided into an officer corps and a sergeant corps. It was suspended again at the beginning of this year. If Zhang Hanqing had not appeared, its reopening would not have been until the "Army Lecture Hall of the Three Eastern Provinces" in 1919. The latter was one of the three major military officer schools in China at that time, together with the Yunnan Lecture Hall and the Baoding Army Officer School! At this time, Whampoa Military Academy had not yet been established.
Zhang Hanqing did not just talk casually. On the way, he had already thought about firing his first shot in Fengtian, which should start with lobbying Zhang Zuolin to rebuild the military academy. As the saying goes, it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. The earlier you train talents, the better! I believe that with Zhang Zuolin’s ambition and vision, it should not be difficult to persuade him to restart the martial arts hall.
For this reason, taking advantage of the situation is the right answer. The noisy crowd has changed from an angry crusade against the authorities to a passionate desire to join the army.
Duan Zhigui nodded, looked at Zhang Zuolin and said: "As the saying goes, 'the phoenix and the young are in front of the tiger'. From now on, the world will belong to the son's generation!" Zhang Zuolin was not without pride, and laughed and said: "It's like Xiangyan. I'm afraid Zuolin won't dare to accept what my brother said." This little Liuzi can understand my thoughts, which not only makes me look good, but also brings fresh strength into the army, so my cultivation is not in vain!
When the song ended and everyone dispersed, only pieces of paper flying on the ground were left in a mess. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)messy. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 8 Drummers and Beaters
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
There are a lot of like-minded people. On August 14, the "Safety Preparation Committee" headed by Yang Du sent electricity to all provinces. This telegram can be seen as Yuan Shikai's first declaration of preparation for proclaiming himself emperor. The telegram said: "During the Revolution of 1911 in our country, the people based on their emotions, but except for racial barriers, did not proceed with politics and hastily formulated a republican government. Whether the National Day, Don’t think twice.”
In the view of Yuan Shikai, Yang Du and others, the republican system of the Republic of China is actually not suitable for China’s national conditions. It is precisely because of the implementation of this system that “the dangers experienced by the country and the pain felt by the people can be heard by the whole country. In the long run, If you don't plan, you will be in trouble." Since there will be dangers and disasters, what should we do? The declaration went on to say: "Dr. Goodnow, the great American political scholar, said that monarchy is better than democracy, and China cannot use the monarchy system."
In other words, great scholars in the United States have said that China should implement an imperial system. Then it is really necessary to implement an imperial system. Foreign monks like to chant sutras. It seems that at that time, there was a foreign saying that the moon was full. Therefore, Yang Du said that as a Chinese, "the survival of the country is the life and death of the family. How can we bear to watch in silence and wait for its demise."
Having said this, the basic intention of this declaration is already obvious, which is to promote imperialism in China. However, as a vanguard, the declaration also needs to explain itself: "The establishment of this association is specifically to maintain the public security of a country, to study how the monarch, the state, and the state are suitable for China, and to discuss right and wrong, and the severity of facts as the scope of discussion. This association will not be involved in anything outside the scope, and this is the strictest limit. We will pay tribute to the people with what we discuss."
However, although the Preparatory Committee said that it was just a research institution, on the 28th, they actually conducted a so-called vote on the national system issue. As a result, "it has always advocated a constitutional monarchy." And on the next day, he also announced the result to the whole country: "The way to rectify chaos in our country is to abolish the utensils and cook the dictatorship and establish a monarch; the way to seek governance is to abolish the utensils and boil the dictatorship and establish a constitutional monarchy. This is the result of this conference's discussion."
In order to increase his influence, Yang Du even called the provincial generals, patrol envoys, governors, military envoys, provincial cities, and Shanghai and Hankou chambers of commerce, asking them to send representatives to Beijing.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With such explicit and unintentional hints, who with a discerning eye cannot understand this situation? Taking advantage of this trend, bureaucrats big and small all tried their best to "encourage progress" in order to gain support and success. Therefore, since August, an undercurrent of restructuring has been brewing in Beijing. Dr. Goodnow, an American consultant to the presidential office, also published a discussion on the pros and cons of monarchy and republic in the Beijing Evening News, implying that the United States supports this change of state system.
Of course, the person who contributed the most was his eldest son Yuan Keding. The future "prince" tried his best to strengthen his father's confidence in becoming emperor. You can't blame him, the position of prince is too tempting. But although Dad looks forward to Zixiong, he is timid in this matter and needs a strong push. After all, China's imperial power politics for more than two thousand years have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Such a big matter needs to be carefully weighed.
Foreign friends have supported it, public opinion has supported it, and many political allies and enemies have surrendered. What is Dad still worried about? Oh, the powerful local factions have not formally expressed their determination. Is Lao Yuan worried about this?
"Father, the whole country is currently supporting you in promoting the monarchy. You can't let down the people's wishes! If you continue to do so, you will suffer. If you are worried that the princes from all over the country have different intentions, then let them electrify in advance to express their stance! They agree. He was tied to a chariot with his father; if they disagreed, they would have seceded from the Central Government. In the name of righteousness, his father could easily replace him!" This was Yuan Keding's opinion as he encouraged his father.
Is it? Yuan Shikai worried about gains and losses. It is indeed a good idea to express support by calling on others, but there is a political price to pay for going back on one's word! But besides that, is there anything else that can be done? Like get something substantial?
Yuan Keding has done some research on this: "If the father is still not at ease, then ask the generals everywhere for protons! With their sons in their hands, I don't think any of them would dare to be half-hearted!"
This is a good idea! Yuan Shikai suddenly became enlightened, and he began to make a list in his mind: among several unreliable provinces, Cai E from Yunnan had already been plucked and raised in the capital and was considered useless, but Lu Rongting from Guangxi was beyond his reach, and Feng Delin and Meng Enyuan from the Northeast were both He is the arrogant kind and needs attention. This time, they were the first to bear the brunt of the proton attack.
As for Zhang Xueliang, who just appeared, it is also interesting. I didn’t expect that Zhang Zuolin’s son turned out to be a promising person! When he thought of Zhang Zuolin, his mind immediately pictured an image of a green forest figure wearing a dog-skin coat and a simple military uniform.
That was two years ago, when the revolutionary army in the south was making a fuss. Yuan Shikai needed the support of military generals from all over the country and stability in the rear, so he wanted to eliminate dissidents. Zhang Zuolin was one of them at the time.
Although Zhang Zuolin was entrenched in the Northeast and was supported by the Japanese, he knew that he could not defeat Yuan Shikai, so he immediately wrote a letter expressing his surrender: "I am willing to bear the crossbow and go forward, but the president will follow his lead." and took the initiative to pay a visit.
Zhang Zuolin, who had just become a teacher, could tell at first glance that he was a country boy who had never seen the world. As soon as he entered the gate of Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai, he knelt down and buckled his head repeatedly——no wonder what era this was? Xuantong had abdicated for several years, and Yuan Shikai had so many ministers and generals under his command. Who would still worship the emperor in this manner of worshiping the emperor three times and nine times?
However, this gift was very useful to Yuan Shikai. Perhaps Zhang Zuolin's decision to give a front-court gift instead of a military salute touched a certain nerve in his heart. He suddenly felt good about Lao Zhang, and he quickly started talking: "Now that we are in the Republic of China, we don't care about this anymore."
Zhang Zuolin, however, refused to give up: "In the former Qing Dynasty, Zuolin only knew that there was an emperor, but now he only knows that there is a president. The president is like the emperor. How can I not kowtow when I see you, old man?"
It’s not surprising that so many people were paying homage to him. Although he was not a close confidant of Yuan Shikai, nor could he trust Zhang Zuolin at this time, this kind of respect still made President Yuan feel very comfortable, and the conversation between the guests and the host became much more cordial.
"Are Brother Yuting and the brothers still feeling well these days in Beijing?"
In response to the President's inquiry, Zhang Zuolin blushed, bent down and said with a smile: "Brothers are all country bumpkins who have never seen the world, making the President laugh." In front of President Yuan, the always fierce Mr. Zhang spoke Extra gentle.
It turns out that as soon as Zhang Zuolin entered Beijing, he took over various brothels and spent all his time looking for women and men, causing the capital to be in a smoky atmosphere. How could Yuan Shikai, who had so many eyes and ears, not know this? Only the time Lao Zhang and the others spent in bed was not counted. Lao Yuan didn't care about the things in men's crotches. What he valued was Zhang Zuolin's loyalty. Although Zhang Zuolin has the image of a big boss, he is more reliable than a literate person who talks sweetly and has a sharp sword.
The first impression was very good. Yuan Shikai was very good at winning people's hearts. He felt that Zhang Zuolin was a talent that could be developed, and his attitude was unavoidable. The two of them had a good chat about daily life. Zhang Zuolin also opened his heart, expressed his loyalty without leaving any trace, and condemned the southern opposition, so he just beat his chest and wrote a guarantee. But as soon as he said a few words, Yuan Shikai almost couldn't hold back his laughter: As expected, this Master Fengtian is a big boss, he opened his mouth and said "fuck you", he looked like a bandit. Zhao Erxun said it right, "Zhang Zuolin is a big boss. If you have breasts, you will be a mother. As long as you give him some benefits, he will follow you wholeheartedly."
Apart from that, the biggest impression Zhang Zuolin left on him was that of a stupid person who had never seen the world, because during the conversation, Zhang Zuolin's eyes never left a beautifully made gold watch on his antique shelf. The dial of this watch was embellished with white jade-like pearls, and on the back was a beautiful portrait of a sunset woman, which interested the old man very much.
Yuan Shikai deliberately asked him: "The situation at home and abroad is complicated now. Does Commander Zhang need to increase the number of troops and expand the garrison area?" Zhang Zuolin hurriedly said that he did not want anything, but coyly said that if the president could put the antiques on the shelves I would be grateful if I "borrowed" that gold watch and looked at it. This reply made Lao Yuan, who was very rich in the city, laugh and cry, and then gave him the watch as a show of favor. At the same time, in his heart, he classified Lao Zhang as a coward with no ambition, and He said to Yuan Keding: "Zhang Zuolin is a complete country boy. Even a gold watch can make him happy. There is really nothing to be afraid of."
“As everyone knows, Zhang Zuolin has put a lot of thought into this image. He knew that this meeting was a Hongmen banquet. If he handled it properly, he could gain Yuan Shikai's trust. If he acted incorrectly, he would probably lose his life. Although he was full of doubts, he still rushed to Beijing quickly.
The way he wears his military uniform and mink coat and the way he kneels down are just a cover-up, highlighting his lack of ambition. And before coming, he gave a generous gift to his old boss, Zhao Erxun, the governor of the three eastern provinces, and asked him to deal with him in front of the president. In addition, after entering Beijing, he also spent a lot of money and bribed everyone around Yuan Shikai. These people are short-handed and soft-spoken, and all of them exaggerate in front of Lao Yuan about being friends and being loyal.
In the end, Lao Yuan, who originally wanted to reduce the feudal vassal, not only did not take action against Zhang Zuolin, but also gave him a carved lacquer vase from the Qianlong period and his own mink coat as a gift to Zhang Zuolin when he was about to return to the Northeast. . This meeting between the two powers was a textbook classic, and it was also vividly reported by the outside world.
Now, a group of scholars are waving flags and shouting for his imperial system, and their momentum is not small, but they urgently need powerful local factions to rise up. It's not enough for someone to beat the drum; what's needed is a heavy hammer. Although there are many testers and those who are trying to make trouble, it is the first time for young talents like Zhang Hanqing to vindicate the connection between the Twenty-One Articles and the imperial system to speak out. This is a positive sign. Regardless of whether it was from Zhang Zuolin's instruction or not, it is indeed remarkable that a martial arts disciple can have such political vision. Then, he can also be counted as one.
Zhang Hanqing won the award! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)This is the first time for a young talent to clear his name to speak out, which is a positive sign.

Chapter 9 Protons
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Zuolin's official residence in Fengtian City is called "General's Mansion". It is a villa with three courtyards. This was his den, base camp and headquarters before he became the generalissimo.
Today, Xiao Liuzi’s performance made him feel very good. He was even happier than he was when he won the award. From General Duan's expression, he knew he was satisfied. Xiao Liuzi's speech not only expressed his loyalty to the president, but also resolved a crisis invisible, and also gave the general, his immediate boss, reassurance. You know, Duan Zhigui took office and took a regiment of guards with him, but he stayed in the Luandong area of ????Gyeonggi and only brought a few people to serve. When he arrived in Fengtian, he stayed at the headquarters of Zhang Zuolin's 27th Division to show his trust in Zhang Zuolin. But abnormality is a monster. To the suspicious Zhang Zuolin, doing this is a bit confusing: How could I know that this kid is not secretly guarding me!
During dinner, Zhang Hanqing made another suggestion to Zhang Zuolin that he had thought about for a long time. He said: "Does my father want to take the position of general again? There is a good opportunity in front of him."
Zhang Zuolin stared at Zhang Hanqing for a while with his eyes fascinated. It made Zhang Hanqing feel hairy: Could it be that there was something unusual about his possession of Zhang Xueliang that this old fox noticed? Historically, young marshals should be quite capable, otherwise it would be difficult to successfully inherit the huge Fengjun foundation? Or is his performance not in line with Zhang Xueliang of this age?
Zhang Zuolin said after a long while: "Tell me about it?"
Zhang Hanqing said: "President Yuan must be tired of being the president. Does his father want to help him?" It's not that he can calculate, but according to history, Duan Zhigui took over the Northeast in August, and Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor in December. This is the gospel brought by time travellers.
Zhang Zuolin's eyes flashed, but he took a long breath and said: "This is a sure thing. But from the public opinion in Fengtian, we can see that the president's move was a defeat."
Zhang Hanqing smiled slightly and said: "What does the victory or defeat of the president have to do with my father? If you do evil by God, you can still be forgiven; if you do evil by yourself, you will not be able to live. The people around him are so stupid that they have lost their minds. By doing this, they will destroy the country that has been formed with great difficulty since the Republic of China." The situation is full of crises. But at present, the president is still very influential. As long as we take the first step and monopolize Fengtian with the support of the central government, or at least no objection, whoever controls the world in the future will have to worry about his father's power. .”
As soon as he woke up the dreamer, Zhang Zuolin suddenly stood up, stroked Zhang Hanqing's head, and said softly: "Xiao Liuzi has grown up."
Haha, it’s not that I’ve grown up, but that I can see the situation clearly better than almost all of you. If it weren't for the fact that it was just getting started, in order not to act too abruptly, I would have had many better ideas. Hey, he finally knows what it means to "have a daughter in the Yang family who has just grown up and been raised in a boudoir without anyone knowing it"
However, Zhang Hanqing tactfully reminded Nai's father that it is easy to dig a hole, but beware of jumping in the end. According to the future trend, President Yuan Da will definitely be defeated in the end, so it is best not to dance too much now, and just stop dancing in moderation. Otherwise, as recorded in history, it would not look good if the heads of state who were finally persuaded to join were wanted by the Republic of China government and ended up in ruins.
Although he is optimistic about Zhang Zuolin's resourcefulness and adaptability.
In fact, there are already people walking ahead of them. With the help of a group of concerned people, people from various provinces in Beijing organized a citizen "petition group" to petition the Senate to act on behalf of the Legislative Yuan, demanding a change in the state system. This is a temptation.
"Wen Tao must have military strategy." Without the support of the generals, the politicians' enthusiasm would be nothing more than a farce with little to show for it. But at 9 o'clock that night, Yuan Shikai received a secret message from the 27th Fengtian Division, which made him very happy: "President Junjian: Since the Qing emperor abdicated, the country has become a republic. However, people's minds are calm, and with the great power The president is an immortal master. How can he be favored by the monarch for generations to come? Compared with a republic, a monarch should have the immortal talent of a great president. He should be able to act according to the wishes of those above him and to those below him. Today, the people are rejecting the republic and moving towards the monarch. Constitution. First of all, it should be based on public opinion. If the public opinion is republican, the oath will be valid according to the state; if the public opinion is monarchy, the oath will also change with the state. If the monarchy cannot be established, it will never be reborn."
Yuan Shikai has received many similar statements, but as a local military official, Zhang Zuolin was the first to make one blatantly. But with Yuan Shikai's suspicious personality, how could he be willing to bet on a local powerful?
There are ways. Don’t you, Zhang Zuolin, want to be loyal? OK, take action. Since Duan Zhigui also likes Zhang Zuolin's son, in order to express Lao Zhang's loyalty, can he agree to the method used by previous kings to control the princes - protons?
So, Zhang Hanqing, who had traveled through time, received a telegram that made him sweat: "Jun Jian, my brother from Yuting: The constitutional proposal proposed by Yan Dian is a big deal. My brother is busy with official business and has no chance to meet face to face. I am very sorry to hear that I have a nephew. The Qing of Han Dynasty is young and wise, and speaks a lot of words. He is very eager to meet you in Beijing.He talked in detail about the folk customs outside the pass and got close to the nephews of Kun Zhongzi and Zhongzi in Beijing. "
Although the weather is a bit hot, it is certain that what really makes Zhang Hanqing sweat profusely from the inside out is definitely not the indoor temperature - the room in the General's Mansion is well ventilated, and he can survive this summer without a fan.
Of course, Zhang Zuolin knew the intention, which was really a headache: he originally wanted to earn some benefits by deliberately showing kindness, but his first son died first, and his lovely eldest son was actually targeted. If you try to refuse, you will definitely lose all your previous efforts; if you agree, you are joking with the lives of your parents and children, and you will be tied to President Yuan's chariot.
Beijing is a den of tigers and wolves - I remember there was a TV series about the famous Yunnan general Cai E who was under house arrest in Beijing at this time. After many hardships, he narrowly escaped with the help of the prostitute Xiao Fengxian. If Zhang Zuolin also clearly opposes Yuan by then, the hostage will definitely be in danger. Once he cannot escape, he will have to stick to him. Although he has many sons, Lao Zhang is not someone who is willing to pay this price for the sake of power. ; However, if he does not rebel against Yuan by then, Zhang Zuolin will fall behind in terms of justice, and the rise of the Feng clique will have one more variable.
Zhang Hanqing also felt a little trapped in a cocoon, and truly understood what it means to shoot the first bird. The pretense of the past few days was brilliant, and it was immediately repaid in this world. He said with his front legs not to dig a hole to bury himself, and his back legs came true. Does this mean he has a high IQ? Or high?
He knew very well that his cheap dad won the first prize in the drama of Yuan Shikai becoming emperor, and that the history of the Feng Dynasty would have a chance to shine. But now, if Lao Yuan thinks it's a show or a big conspiracy, maybe an unprecedented big move will happen to dad first. In this way, don't say that you are using the Fengxian to express your ambitions. It is not known whether this will change the development process of the Fengxian.
To go or not to go? In the battle between heaven and man, Zhang Hanqing said helplessly: "Since Yuan Shikai insists that I go, it seems that my father will not give him some confidence. Anyway, I have no soldiers and no power, and I am just a kid. Yuan Shikai will not be able to do it." If you care too much about me, you still have plenty of time, so I can just act according to the circumstances." In his mind, Cai E, who is famous all over the world, can run away, let alone a nobody like him? He comforted himself: The two important members of the Five Tiger Generals are probably still wandering in Beijing at the moment. I'll go explore the way and get to know them first. "
Zhang Zuolin was worthy of being a hero. He only thought for a moment and said firmly: "Go! I still have some contacts in Beijing, and I will try to get you back when the time comes. But you have to keep a low profile in Beijing. It is best to make Lao Yuan lose interest in you. You There’s a better chance of escaping.”
Of course Zhang Hanqing understood that a proton must have the consciousness of a proton. He chuckled and said, "It's nothing more than pretending to be crazy and living like a fool. As long as it doesn't harm him, President Yuan is happy to see his son become a rich man." The father and son laughed evilly.
"But Zhang Hanqing still remembers Wang Yizhe. He suggested: "While there is nothing to do now, my father should reopen the Fengtian Lecture Hall. Once President Yuan becomes emperor, the world will definitely be in chaos. When the time comes, political power will emerge from the barrel of a gun, and whoever has soldiers and generals will be the leader." Wang. If my father did not take advantage of this unique situation to recruit a group of talents, he would have wasted the Northeast Military Academy. The 27th Division is the team that my father started. The ability of generals to lead troops must also be practiced. They will be the seeds of the Fengtian Army in the future. . Besides, if my father also holds the position of hall master, these graduated generals will all be my father’s students, and the relationship between the master and the student will be much more reliable than a sworn friendship, and it will also look good in terms of justice.”
This means that Zhang Zuolin does not change his green style and likes to work with his subordinates to win people's hearts. For Zhang Zuolin, this is a trick that he and his bearded brothers often used before they became famous. There is no other way. Before there is no material benefit to stimulate others to follow him, this is the only way he can come up with.
Of course, it’s not reliable either. For example, he had a relationship with Feng Delin before, and now the two sides are secretly competing for the position of governor of Fengtian. It will only be sooner or later when they fall out. Zhang Hanqing said that bowing is unreliable, and Zhang Zuolin agreed. Now Zhang Hanqing has proposed a new method, which sounds much better.
Not only is it much better! A Whampoa Military Academy created the existence of the National Government for decades. Moreover, "producing" batches of generals in series is much better than groping on the battlefield. Countries around the world regard the creation of military academies as a magic weapon to enhance the military's combat effectiveness. For example, the Prussian officer corps of the German Army single-handedly supported the German army. of glory.
Zhang Zuolin, who does not know a few Chinese characters but believes in traditional benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust, expressed his approval of this theory, not because Zhang Hanqing said it brilliantly, but because he said exactly what he wanted to do. Such a pleasant exchange allowed him to accept Zhang Hanqing's more in-depth encouragement.
"I talked with my father before about preparing the arsenal. We can also start the work of selecting a location first. It is not a common practice to always buy weapons. First, it is expensive, second, it is messy, and third, someone may get stuck at the neck at any time. Europe, America, Japan The reason why great powers can be called 'strong' is that in addition to the ability of the army to fight wars, self-sufficiency of equipment is the key."
"There are also people like that young man Wang Yizhe who must be used well. The army is full of rough guys. With these people who can read and write, the future development will definitely not be bad. We can first set a benchmark for Wang Yizhe to attract a group of people. Students come in."

Chapter 10 Fengtian Martial Arts Hall
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
For Zhang Hanqing, not only himself, but also the officers and soldiers of the 27th Naipa Division received little systematic military training. This is very unacceptable for an army that is determined to hold up the Northeast and is looking for opportunities to grow. of. In addition, officers who have not led soldiers are unqualified; command by officers who have not received qualified training is a crime against soldiers on the battlefield.
In this sense, he wants to build a military academy.
There was originally a military academy in the Northeast, the famous Northeast Military Academy, which was also very famous in the history of military schools in China. It was one of the four major military officers in China at that time, along with the Yunnan Military Academy, Baoding Army Military Academy and later Huangpu Military Academy. School.
In August 1907, Xu Shichang, the governor-general of the three eastern provinces, followed the Qing government's decision of the Ministry of War that "each province should set up a martial arts hall in the provincial capital as a place for military leaders to study martial arts", so he borrowed the Fengtian Army Primary School building (Old General's Mansion in Dabeiguan In the courtyard), the martial arts hall of the three eastern provinces was finally established. In October 1908, it was moved outside the east gate of Fengtian Provincial City. The school was first named the General Course of the Three Eastern Provincial Lecture Hall, and then changed to the Army Lecture Hall to select outstanding officers from the patrol battalion for training. The semester lasted for one year. It was discontinued after the Revolution of 1911.
This military academy was opened in 1912 because Zhang Zuolin's patrol camp was changed to an army division. In order to rectify the army, Zhang continued to open it. It was called the Army Twenty-seventh Division Camp Lecture Hall and was divided into an officer corps and a sergeant corps. In 1915, due to the Negotiations with Japan were suspended again. To open it again, it needs to be traced back to the end of 1918 in history, when Zhang Zuolin took office as the patrol envoy to the three eastern provinces. At that time, Zhang Zuolin expanded his army aggressively in order to further dominate the Northeast. However, most of Fengjun's old team came from the green forest and had no formal education. They had neither political foresight nor military literacy. They only relied on brute force when fighting. In order to solve the problem of insufficient officers, the ambitious Zhang Zuolin realized that if he wanted to dominate the world, he must cultivate military talents. Zhang Zuolin reopened the martial arts lecture hall in response to the reality that Feng Jun was "more than brave in charging and confronting, but insufficient in decision-making theory and command."
However, it was not until March 1919 that the military lecture hall was re-opened on the original site of the Dongsan Province Military Lecture Hall. The school was named Dongsan Province Army Lecture Hall. It was affiliated to the Patrol Mission of Dongsan Province and held eight sessions. . As an officer school for the Feng clique warlords, basically all high- and mid-level officers of the Feng clique army have gone through its training. It played an important role in improving the combat effectiveness of the Feng army and promoting the formation and development of the Feng clique warlords.
Fengtian Martial Arts Hall was originally the highest training place for professional officers in the three eastern provinces. Later, the instructors in the martial arts halls of the three eastern provinces were all people with special skills in the army, each with their own characteristics. For example, Wu Junsheng was proficient in cavalry warfare, Zhang Zuoxiang was good at combining infantry and artillery, and Jiang Dengxuan's infantry training, etc., were all famous in the military circles at that time.
In the foreseeable future, as the number of troops under my father's command increases, how can we quickly improve the combat effectiveness and command capabilities of the army? The answer is education and training. Open again in three years? Time waits for no one. Therefore, Zhang Hanqing actively lobbied Zhang Zuolin to resume the opening of the Fengtian Martial Arts School as soon as possible. He said to Zhang Zuolin: "Since my father knows the benefits of the Martial Arts School, why not open it as soon as possible?"
Zhang Zuolin felt itchy in his heart when his son encouraged him, but his face showed embarrassment: "Now the people in the provincial capital are interested, and there is someone outside who is blocking their hearts. At this time, Lao Yuan also favored Xu and Meng at the same time, isn't he just to guard against me. The current twenty-seventh division is already struggling to provide supplies. I am willing but unable to do so."
The person Zhang Zuolin was talking about was Feng Delin, the commander of the 28th Division in the same city. As the seniors of Green Forest, Feng Delin and Zhang Zuolin were recruited by the court from horse bandits, and they also successively shone in their respective fields. At first, the two of them had become sworn friends for the common interests; now, for the common interest of dominating Fengtian, the two parted ways again. There is no way, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, unless there is one male and one female. These two male tigers are bound to fall out in order to occupy a piece of territory. Just because they currently have a common enemy, Duan Zhigui, both parties have concealed this idea for the time being.
Zhang Hanqing nodded and said: "Because of this, under internal and external troubles, it is even more important to capture the hearts and minds of the army. They are both division commanders. The biggest advantage my father has over Commander Feng is that he is in Fengtian. If we don't gather connections, this innate condition will be wasted. . Reopening the martial arts hall has many benefits: one can train generals. From the beginning of the Republic of China to the present, my father's officers and soldiers have not fought in a war for a while. The ability to lead troops in war is to use it or lose it. Practice often. To maintain power in the future, the barrel of a gun is the most important, and a group of generals who can fight are my father's greatest reliance.
Both of them can rectify the thinking of the troops through intensive training. What's more important is that by placing a group of student officers who were brought out by the father personally and placed in various ministries, the situation of being crowded on the hills of the 27th Division can be broken and the father's power can be further consolidated. In the future, there will be opportunities to expand the strength, and there will also be capable manpower available, so that it will not be temporary. "
"The instructor is from the officer's levelWhen choosing, first prepare some necessary facilities, and then gradually add them one by one. In short, put up the shelves first. As for financial resources, it is not that bad. From today on, the living expenses my father gives me will be halved. In addition, the daily expenses of our house will also be reduced as much as possible. In addition, didn’t my father borrow 5 million yuan from the Japanese? Don't be in a hurry to pay it back, it's urgent. The stronger the father's military strength, the greater his chances in the future. As long as the territory expands, money will naturally not be an issue. "
Zhang Zuolin was very pleased that father and son were of the same mind, and they were as powerful as gold. He was ambitious and believed that in order to dominate the world, he must have strong military strength and a steady stream of talents. Moreover, while he was reorganizing the army and expanding its military capabilities, he often felt that he was lacking military talents. Now that the successor has this kind of awareness, it is really a blessing for the Zhang family. As a result, father and son had a connection, and they hit it off right away at the Guangda Lecture Hall.
Zhang Zuolin had another exchange with several cronies. Basically, the military personnel felt that it was necessary to build a military academy for future expansion of territory, and the matter was basically settled.
The school building is ready-made and there are teachers. Let’s learn theory first and then talk about practice. Let’s start step by step.
Modeling on the achievements of the Whampoa Military Academy in later generations, Zhang Hanqing actively suggested that Zhang Zuolin personally serve as the director (principal) of the Fengtian Lecture Hall, claiming to the outside world to demonstrate its importance and thereby stimulate the interest of officers at all levels in enrolling. In China, this is the norm in official circles. For example, Qianlong also served as the chief editor of the "Sikuquanshu", which enabled Ji Xiaolan to successfully complete this major cultural event. It is said that if the boss is in trouble, it is not difficult for the boss to take action. Of course, being able to cultivate and control direct relatives is another hidden and deep meaning. For example, Chiang Kai-shek was able to dominate Chinese politics for decades only because of a bunch of graduates from the Huangpu Military Academy.
Zhang Zuolin appointed Zhang Zuoxiang as the chief of education and Sun Liechen as the captain. There were officers of education, general affairs, military supplies, military doctors, veterinarians, and secretaries. The trainees were organized into four squadrons. There is a supervisor under the chief, who is concurrently appointed by Zhang Zuoxiang. Xiao Qixuan is appointed as the chief of education. There are also one officer each in the infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineering, and field service departments, who are concurrently served by the captain or instructor. The squadron has infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineering, and In the fifth subject, the training targets are mainly junior officers serving in various units of the Fengjun Army. There are 400 students in each period and the semester is one year.
The learning content is divided into two parts: academic subjects and technical subjects. There are two subjects, one is the six major tutorials (tactics, weapons, terrain, fortification, transportation, military system), and the other is the model orders (each military drill code, shooting instruction manual, formation service order, communication instruction manual, internal affairs rules, Army Penalty Order, etc.), as well as horse science, hygiene, etc.
The technical subjects include playground coaching, field exercises, technical gymnastics, stabbing, equestrian, etc. The instructors are from domestic military academies and military officers who have returned from Japan.
All officers of the platoon and above in the 27th Division must participate in this one-year training, which is called the officer class. Due to the small number of people, Zhang Hanqing suggested that in addition to recruiting active-duty officers, half of the places should be reserved for young students who are interested in joining the army and some soldiers with primary school knowledge to apply for the sergeant class. The study period is also one year, but After graduation, young students must serve as apprentices for three months before being promoted to junior officers. This was the decision made by the impassioned Wang Yizhe at the beginning, and it was also a good way to add fresh blood to Fengjun.
Wang Yizhe really kept his word and took the initiative to sign up on the day when the martial arts hall was announced to be reopened. Not only did he come, he also brought a group of classmates with him. These passionate young people, with a passion for serving the country, are ready to do something great in the martial arts hall.
Don't underestimate these students: compared with traditional soldiers, the biggest shortcoming of these young people is that they have not been in actual combat, but as long as there is enough time, these scholars who can read and write will definitely catch up, because high-quality sergeants can Mastering high-tech weapons faster, and integrating multiple arms to a high degree are common knowledge in the communist era. Educated soldiers are also a valuable asset. After being influenced by theory, their battlefield experience can be quickly transformed into knowledge, and their military level can be quickly improved, achieving twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, this kind of training is not smooth sailing: officers who are accustomed to the life of big bosses are very reluctant to pick up the pen and return to the training ground. However, Zhang Zuolin has strict orders that personnel who have not passed the training in the martial arts hall cannot engage in any level of employment. The position of front-line army officer. Of course, literate soldiers who have the opportunity to be promoted and young students from society who join the military camp join with great respect for this martial arts lecture hall that can not only improve their military literacy but also quickly see practical results (ranks). The learning effect is incomparable.
Zhang Hanqing originally planned to participate in the first training period based on the same mentality of enriching himself, but he was unable to do so because he was a hostage. However, his determination surprised Zhang Zuolin: He knew that this eldest son was smart and resourceful. Yes, but as a young general who is cared for by everyone, he is not usually burdened by rules and regulations. Can he endure this hardship at such a young age? However, the son took the initiative to exercise, and the father was certainly happy to see the results. Even if Zhang Hanqing didn't want to go, he would still find ways to force him. In this troubled world, how can one be in charge of military affairs without two brushes?
But it’s too early to talk about this now, so let’s focus on the present. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)If Han Qing doesn't want to go, he will try his best to force him. In this troubled world, how can one be in charge of military affairs without two brushes?

Chapter 11 Interview

"President Junjian: Today there is a well-educated dog with a surly personality and disobedience to discipline. My brother is also not talented and can do nothing. I heard that the president has a great reputation and has admired him for a long time. My brother wants him to go to the capital in person and listen to the teachings day and night, so that he can make a difference. Become a pillar of the country.”
A eloquent telegram with several crosses dispelled the last doubt in President Yuan's mind. Zhang Zuolin, a strongman outside the customs, was soft-spoken and made puns. The two sides reached consensus on the issue of educating the next generation, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. But when President Yuan was delighted, how could he really have the nerve to "discipline" his son?
Three days later, Zhang Hanqing entered Beijing.
Zhang Zuolin, who was born in a reckless family, was very dedicated to the safety of his eldest son. He not only carefully mobilized a small but capable personal soldier to act as Zhang Hanqing's personal guard - this was Zhang Hanqing's first life in this life. A team that can fully obey his orders can be regarded as his capital to start a business. Originally, since we came to the tiger's den, there was not much difference between a dozen people and hundreds of thousands of people. What is he, a powerless young boy, doing with so many guards? But Zhang Zuolin still insisted on making arrangements.
As the captains of the guard, Tan Hai and Gao Jiyi were both appointed by Zhang Hanqing himself. As for Tan and Gao, to be honest, he had never met these two people before, but he had already regarded them as confidants in his heart.
As the head of the four famous lieutenants of Zhang Xueliang in history, Tan Hai is neither a prominent figure nor a water figure at this time. He comes from a poor family but is honest and kind. He finally got married but suffered from a life without security. Because his father and Zhang Zuoxiang were sworn brothers with different surnames, after living idle at home for several months, Tan Hai came to Fengtian City to find Zhang Zuoxiang.
Who is Zhang Zuoxiang? A proper confidant and sworn brother of Zhang Zuolin, he was the chief of staff of the 27th Division at this time. As the three generals Zhang Zuolin relied on, they were all powerful men and brothers in the army. As the chief of staff of the division, Zhang Zuoxiang, although not as powerful as the other two brigade commanders Tang Yulin and Sun Liechen, was more cautious.
In the early years of the Republic of China, a division had two brigades and four regiments under its jurisdiction, and the brigade commander's status was one level higher than that of the division chief of staff. For example, both Tang and Sun were major generals and brigade commanders, but Zhang Zuoxiang was a colonel. Among the three, Tang Yulin was bold and rough, Sun Liechen was loyal and reliable, and Zhang Zuoxiang had a measured advance and retreat.
Zhang Zuoxiang had a good sense of people. He took a fancy to Tan Hai's cautious and serious personality, so he took Tan Hai as an errand in the army. He quickly won his favor and was soon promoted from a soldier to an officer. If it weren't for Zhang Hanqing, he would have been hiding for a long time.
When the news came out that Zhang Hanqing was going to Beijing, Zhang Zuolin was anxious to find some suitable and reliable personal attendants for him. After all, Zhang Hanqing was not an adult yet and was far away in Beijing, a land of disputes. As a father, he still had some worries. At this time, Zhang Hanqing only asked for two people from him, and Tan Hai was one of them. Zhang Zuolin had no idea who Tan Hai was, but when he asked Zhang Zuoxiang for this person, Zhang Zuoxiang still said pertinently: "Han Qing has a good vision, and Enbo can be of great use."
Zhang Zuolin has always been approving of Zhang Zuoxiang's ability to understand people and the overall situation. The people he approves of should be good. When I saw Tan Hai with my own eyes, I couldn't help but admire him.
With keen eyes, honest responses, and a flexible and strong body, this is the perfect candidate to be a bodyguard! If Zhang Hanqing hadn't designated him in advance, Zhang Zuolin would have wanted to use him as his own. This little boy, even though he usually doesn't seem to care about people in the military, has picked up a treasure! It's really hard for him.
“If he knew that Zhang Hanqing was simply taking advantage of time travel, I don’t know what he would think.
The other person is even more interesting. This man named Gao Jiyi has a well-established background and a professional background. He studied at the Fengtian Army Crash Course and the Army Surveying and Mapping School of the Three Northeastern Provinces. He stayed at the school to teach because of his excellent performance. In Fengtian, there are not to mention many such people, dozens or hundreds. If it hadn't been for Zhang Hanqing's suggestion, Zhang Zuolin would have just regarded him as an ordinary military school teacher.
Zhang Zuolin only thought that Naizi only had plans to join the military, so he was very interested in the military school teachers. Gao Jiyi was very surprised, because he had never had any dealings with the Major General of the General's Mansion, but it was strange that he could directly pick him out from countless candidates.
You must know that as a public figure, the news that Zhang Hanqing is a proton is known to everyone in Fengtian Provincial City, so those who can be posted around must be trustworthy people and have high hopes. His ability to rise from a little-known teacher to one of the closest people to the Major General surprised countless people.
Because his position was nothing else, Zhang Hanqing named him as his adjutant. This is a position that only existed in the Republic of China. According to modern terms, an adjutant is a secretary with military rank, that is, a confidential secretary. Later, I asked Zhang Hanqing privately why he chose him as his adjutant. Zhang Hanqing always said casually: "I know you are a reliable person."For this trust and kindness, Gao Jiyi is forever grateful to Zhang Hanqing.
In fact, it is not that Zhang Hanqing has any advanced ideas, but that when the Northeast changed its flag in history, it was Gao Jiyi, the captain of the guard at the time, who unconditionally obeyed the young marshal and shot Yang and Chang, the leaders of the Northeast Army. His loyalty is created by "history".
Tan Hai was appointed as the captain of Zhang Hanqing's guard, and with ten selected people, together with Gao Jiyi, boarded the train to Beijing on an auspicious day. In order to show his sincerity, on the second day after arriving in Beijing, he wore a crisp suit and went to see President Yuan Da.
Zhang Hanqing had done some homework for this visit. It is said that Yuan Shikai always wore a military uniform with three stars on the shoulder straps, which looked like a Chinese tunic suit. According to the memories of his important staff: "He has never been seen wearing a suit, and he never wears Chinese clothes except for family ceremonies. He doesn't like blue robes and mandarin jackets, but he likes young people to wear suits." In order to suit him, Zhang Hanqing dressed up in suits and leather shoes, and was more serious than the first job interview in his life.
"However, he already has good looks, and "you are what you wear," so dressing up like this makes him even more elegant.
Perhaps with the intention of making a local pilgrimage to the Central Committee, or the idea of ??setting a benchmark, President Yuan cordially received this aspiring young man who had a good impression in his mind at Jurentang, Zhongnanhai. There was a middle-aged man wearing a general's uniform. Zhang Hanqing didn't have time to look at it, and just looked at Yuan Shikai's bald head: "The bald head on Yuan Datou's silver coin, it turns out this is what it really looks like."
Only now do we have the opportunity to see the true face of this famous person in Chinese history. Yuan Shikai was short and fat, but his face was expressive and his movements were agile. With a thick neck and round head, he seems to be very energetic. His eyes are elegant and bright, sharp and flexible, and often have an alert look. He stared at Zhang Hanqing sharply, but without showing hostility, he was always full of strong interest. His eyes showed how quickly he understood the trend of the conversation. He was a very experienced politician and a shrewd person. If he were not on a path of no return now, his status in Chinese history should be no less than that of Tang Zong and Song Zu, or at least no less than Sun Yat-sen's later achievements.
It seems that Yuan Shikai is not very tall, but the temperament developed during his many years of military career makes people feel calm and powerful. Yan Xishan once told people that he met Yuan Shikai twice, but in the end he still didn't know what Yuan Shikai looked like because during the interview, Yan Xishan was both respectful and fearful and did not dare to look directly.
However, when it came to meeting President Yuan, Zhang Hanqing did not show the usual fear among his peers or even Chinese senior officials at that time. He looked straight at him calmly and even a little rudely, which made Yuan Shikai appreciate Zhang Hanqing's nascent behavior. His father Zhang Zuolin was always respectful when he saw him. Is this child young? Still young?
Of course, Zhang Hanqing did not dare to rely on him. In any case, the man in front of him was known as the successor of Li Hongzhang, the gravedigger of the Qing Dynasty, and the enemy of the Republic of China. He could hold the Qing court and Sun Yat-sen in his hands at the same time and win the great powers. The unanimously recognized first president of the Republic of China is still quite a deterrent. At least Zhang Hanqing needs to look up to him at this stage.
President Yuan looked at the childish Zhang Hanqing and liked it a little at first. In order to express his intention to win over Zhang Zuolin, he was full of praise: "I didn't expect Yuting to give birth to such a smart child! Well, your name is Zhang Xueliang? What a good name, well, learn to be a loyal person like your father. "
"He said it casually, but he also said a lot of things. Zhang Hanqing knew the allusion to his name. It was the name Zhang Zuolin specially asked local celebrities to give him, which meant to learn from Zhang Liang, the founding father of the Western Han Dynasty. Zhang Liang was a minister of the Han Dynasty, a minister, a minister, and a minister, so he was also given the nickname Hanqing.
The purpose of my visit was very clear, that is, to win the trust of Yuan Shikai on behalf of my father, so I took the opportunity to confess: "The president's words are exactly what my father meant in naming Xueliang. When my father came, he asked Xueliang to ask me Like Zhang Liang, the counselor of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, who has become a pillar of the country, my father and son will always be loyal ministers of the president and will not be treacherous ministers."
These words were so explicit and shameless that even Zhang Hanqing himself felt disgusted. However, when these words were spoken from the mouth of a half-teen-year-old child, there was nothing embarrassing about them. They only made people feel simple and credible, which made Zhang Zuolin's image in Yuan Shikai's heart "tall" again.
Yuan Shikai laughed heartily. Only Zhang Zuolin, that bumpkin from the Northeast, could say it so straightforwardly, right? But I like it! The first time he met Zhang Zuolin immediately came to his mind. There are many versions of this interview in unofficial history. Zhang Zuolin, the person involved, did not say anything later, and there was no record of Yuan Shikai, only the memories of the descendants of the Yuan family, so there were a lot of anecdotes and jokes.
But Zhang Hanqing knew it well. Lao Zhang described the ins and outs of this meeting to him in detail, and analyzed various obscure and emergency scenarios in detail, just to let him continue to carry out the meeting when he met Yuan Shikai. Good luck before. Even though Lao Zhang is a tycoon of his generation, he is still quite cautious when meeting a tycoon who is more powerful than him at this moment. Zhang Hanqing deeply agrees with this.
"If Yuan Shikai knew that he had ignored Zhang and his son for the rest of his life, he would not know how he would feel in his grave. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)He analyzed it thoroughly, just to let him continue his previous good luck when he met Yuan Shikai. Even though Lao Zhang is a tycoon of his generation, he is still quite cautious when meeting a tycoon who is more powerful than him at this moment. Zhang Hanqing deeply agrees with this.

Chapter 12 Jun’s Prelude
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
After all, Zhang Hanqing is young, and with the experience of later generations, he is still unclear about the subtleties of China's high-level politics. What he didn't know was that Lao Yuan's meeting had high standards, which he only found out later.
There are usually three places where Yuan Shikai meets his guests. The place where he meets his guests depends on the closeness of the relationship. For guests who are not familiar with each other, they will usually chat in a room called "Big Round Mirror" in the front yard of Jurentang; for guests who are more familiar, they will be received in a reception hall on the west side downstairs of Jurentang; for those who are more familiar with it, they will However, you will be brought directly to your office for reception.
Back then, when he met Zhang Zuolin, according to Zhang's status and relationship with Yuan, he could only meet "in the big round mirror". However, in order to show preferential treatment to Zhang Zuolin, Yuan made an exception and met him in his office. For this behavior, Zhang Zuolin may not have known how many local warlords would die from envy at the time. Maybe just after this, Zhang Zuolin, who was looked at with a different eye, suddenly gained confidence in his own strength and future.
Now, it is a great honor for Zhang Hanqing, who has no soldiers, no power and no reputation, to be received in the reception hall of Jurentang. Likewise, he didn't know either, so he didn't have the mentality of crying with gratitude, so he just saw it when he saw it. Perhaps because of this, it was his freedom and innocence that caught Lao Yuan's eyes, which made him more confident in Lao Zhang's surrender.
"The tiger father has no dogs. When it's time to sting Zhang Hanqing, he knows what to do without being taught." In front of Yuan Shikai, he not only had the temperament of a descendant of a loyal minister, but also showed the vigor of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. After all, in the past, Zhang Zuolin pretended to be cowardly to protect his own safety. Now he wants Lao Yuan to solidify the loyalty of his father and son, but also to show Zhang Zuolin's courage to do things. In this era of changing circumstances, only those who are loyal and brave will be the ones Yuan Shikai recruits.
The good impression once again hit Yuan Shikai's heart. For a moment, he was particularly fond of the rising star outside the pass, although Zhang Zuolin had never been his direct descendant. At the same time, he also had a good impression of the little person in front of him. He said slowly: "What are Qing Han's plans for coming here?"
Intend? Zhang Hanqing smiled bitterly in his heart and slandered: "Can I say that my job is to confuse you and prepare to use self-destructive methods? As long as you always behave well, will you let me go home safely?" Facing this person The president who is not called the emperor is actually the emperor and immediately calls him the emperor. Of course, he has already made plans. He said with great yearning: "Xue Liang listened to Mr. Xihou, Guan's teacher, mentioned again and again that there are many great masters in Yunbei, and they have profound knowledge. Xueliang has always dreamed of going to Peking University for further study. Fortunately, the President of the University favored it, and finally made it possible today. Xueliang plans to visit. After becoming president, I found a place to live near Peking University, and then went to the Weiming Lake to study hard every day."
Yuan Shikai secretly laughed in his heart: "You want to study at Peking University? There are so many schools in Beijing, but you have to come to Peking University!"
Zhang Hanqing said something based on experience, but there are two loopholes: At this time, freedom is free at Peking University. In terms of academic achievements, it is still not the center of new ideas and new culture, but a ladder for students to get promoted and get rich. , to change this state, it was after Cai Yuanpei became the president of Peking University next year, and in the more than ten years from 1916 to 1927, Peking University reformed and opened up "academic" and "freedom".
You must know that Beijingers once joked that most of the people who frequented the eight alleys were "two courtyards and one hall". Bada Hutong is the red-light district of old Beijing. “Two Houses” refers to the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate of the Republic of China, and “One Hall” refers to the Capital University Hall, the predecessor of Peking University! The poor young commander was called a romantic before he was an adult. This line of "Go to Peking University for further study" is just like the old monk Chengguan saying that Wei Xiaobao studied martial arts in a brothel in "The Deer and the Cauldron". It was actually secretly ridiculed by the children of the capital.
As for Weiming Lake, it was not named by Qian Mu until more than 10 years later. Fortunately, Yuan Shikai was not familiar with these place names at Peking University, otherwise he might have revealed it on the spot.
I remember that Zhang Zuolin had disturbed the peace of Beijing with his voluptuous behavior the last time he had an audience. This boy must be the same mold as his father, or even worse. I don’t see him being so calm and calm about the difficulty of entering the lobby. You just talked about Ya's matter in such a grand manner and still seem to be quite proud of it? Lao Zhang is an adult, so of course he can understand everything, but Zhang Hanqing is still a half-grown child!
Of course, Lao Yuan forgot that there is a saying that "if you hunt birds all day long, there will be times when your eyes are pecked by eagles." Looking at Zhang Zuolin's all-powerful life in history, there is every reason to think that he was pretending well. For the Feng Faction, which was initially the weakest among the three forces in Beiyang, it would be strange if Lao Zhang, as the leader, could succeed in overthrowing Anhui and Zhizhi in succession and eventually become the ruling (head of state) of the Republic of China. Because of this, even though he looked down on Zhang Zuolin in his heart, Lao Yuan classified him as a loyal and simple person who could be used without warning and successively gave him business benefits.The power of ??. Compared with the veteran Feng Delin, the commander of the 28th Division who was also stationed in Fengtian Province, Zhang Zuolin's ability to come from behind to take charge of the lucrative area of ??Fengtian Provincial City is inseparable from Lao Yuan's positive perception.
With Lao Zhang’s rude preconceptions in mind, Yuan Shikai unknowingly brought Zhang Hanqing into the family of dandies with embroidered pillows - how could a grown-up man from outside China educate a talented son? He now had some suspicions that Zhang Hanqing had found a gunman in advance for his brilliant performance at the rally, but that was the only reason why he felt more reassured about Zhang Zuolin. He calmly stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Well, it is good for you to study and be sensible. In that case, you can ask Cishan (Hu Renyuan, acting president of Peking University at the time) to give you a place to audit , Oh, no, you are still young, then go to preparatory school first."
Even though Zhang Hanqing mistakenly believed that Peking University at this time was the leading institution of higher learning in China from the perspective of later generations, he really had no intention of furthering his studies. In the prosperous times, studying and building knowledge was a matter of honoring one's ancestors, but at present, especially for Zhang Hanqing who decided to fight his way out of the bloody storm, joining the army was the right answer.
There is still more than half a year between now and Lao Yuan's death next year. Time waits for no one, so we can't waste our time, right? I still have a lot of work to do if I can make Fengtian stronger, build a platform for Fengjun, and expel the great powers from China. How can I freely wander around Beijing? Don't worry, our young general has already prepared a draft.
"President Bingda, Xueliang has always loved the military, and he also aspired to be a general who leads troops in war. My father once said that there are many leading talents under the president. If there is an opportunity, Xueliang would also like to ask for advice, so that he can be a good leader in the future. I, the great president, wield my arms on the battlefield."
The children of military generals love to play with guns and sticks. This is genetic. Otherwise, there is a saying that "dragon begets dragon and phoenix begets phoenix". In Yuan Shikai's eyes, it is normal for such a child to like martial arts. He had heard Zhang Hanqing's flattery many times, but he still had to show the kindness of his elders and superiors, so he smiled slightly and cooperated with him.
Looking at the general next to him, he said humorously: "If you want to learn military affairs, there happens to be a great military expert here. However, Songpa's military theory is too complicated and profound. I'm afraid you can only learn a superficial knowledge. You can do it later." Recommended to Councilor Jiang, he is very capable of teaching and educating people, and he was the principal of a military academy, so he can teach you nephews and nephews exactly what they want."
Marshal Zhang really doesn’t care who Councilor Jiang is, as long as President Yuan personally says that he can communicate with military figures openly. Beijing, as the capital of the Republic of China, is also a place where elite soldiers from the North and the most powerful military strategists and military scientists of this era gather. Naturally, it takes a matter of minutes to have resources and a long-term vision.
But Zhang Hanqing was very excited about the general named Songpo mentioned by Yuan Shikai. The head of the three great military strategists of the Republic of China was active in the military circles in Beijing. How could Zhang Hanqing not know about the famous Cai E? It's just that I have no chance to know Jingjing. Cai E's reputation was so great that Zhang Zuolin respected him even among the troops in the remote Northeast.
The general opened his eyes and glanced at Zhang Hanqing's excitement. He looked at Zhang Hanqing thoughtfully. Zhang Hanqing had just arrived, and he couldn't figure out Lao Yuan's details. He didn't dare to make any remarks, so he immediately echoed the words in a disguised manner.
After all the face-saving matters are done, Lao Yuan is busy with everything, so of course he will not have a deep relationship with Zhang Hanqing, a stupid kid. Although Lao Yuan expressed deep confusion about whether Zhang Hanqing could "read" good books, it did not hinder his "care" for his children and nephews as a superior, entrusted person and elder. After some instructions, Zhang Hanqing was sent out with courtesy.
Who dares not to give Lao Yuan face? Under his arrangement, Zhang Hanqing found Hu Renyuan, the acting president of Peking University, and successfully registered at Peking University and joined the class as a preparatory student. He worked on the line at two o'clock every day and really became a good student.
Hu Renyuan served as the chief engineer of Jiangnan Shipyard. Although his educational ideas are generally considered to be relatively conservative, for example, some of the professors hired during his tenure were mostly former Qing Dynasty veterans and scholar-bureaucrats, including Gu Hongming, Liu Shipei, etc. But in fact, he is also quite tolerant of new trends. For example, Zhang Taiyan's disciples who tend to be innovative, such as Ma Yuzao, Zhu Xizu, Huang Kan, Qian Xuantong, Ma Xulun, etc., pay attention to textual research and exegesis, and are known for their rigorous scholarship. This style of study Later, it gradually became the mainstream in the teaching and scientific research of Peking University’s liberal arts and history department.
Zhang Hanqing is actually very lucky that he did not encounter the period when Peking University became more studious, otherwise it would be boring to dig into the pile of books again. It was a troubled time, and the situation was changing rapidly. Naturally, he was not in the mood to bury his head in a pile of books. Besides, there was nothing good to read. Although his previous life was not very impressive, he had graduated from a regular university. When it comes to experience, he believes that as long as there is a stage, a new world will be opened.

Chapter 13 The days of studying at Peking University
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
There was a popular saying among female students in Peking in the old days: "Beijing University is old, Normal University is poor, and only Tsinghua University can be accommodating." This means that the male students of Peking University are sluggish, the male students of Peking Normal University are poor, and only the students of Tsinghua University have both. Money and vitality make him a suitable boyfriend.
"However, Zhang Hanqing's arrival has become a breath of fresh air in the Peking University community in advance, because he is neither poor nor old, and he has a bit of color. However, the fly in the ointment is that there are not many girls who are outstanding enough to go to university at this time. Even at Peking University, which is famous for its liberal arts, there are not many people of the opposite sex that Zhang Hanqing can take notice of. As for Ma Jue, the first school beauty of Peking University who later became very famous and whose beauty Zhang Hanqing wanted to see so much, she was only a five or six-year-old girl at this time. It is very disappointing to think about her.
They come, the security. At this time, universities were not too involved in politics, and professors and students still focused on academic research. As for the debauchery and debauchery in the private lives of professors after class, it does not affect the academic atmosphere in the classroom or the greatness of their personalities. Zhang Hanqing still had a dawdling attitude at first, but once he got a deeper understanding of these current situations, he couldn't help but have a sincere respect for them.
At this time, Peking University was the first of its kind for a hundred schools of thought to contend in the academic world. Among all kinds of Peking University professors, there are some who are radical and conservative; some who have a vision to move towards the world and want to find a way out for China, and some who are looking for principles to save the country and the people in the pile of old papers; some who apply foreign things to China, and some who use the past to adapt to the present To name a few. During this period, Peking University was a gathering of talents, and numerous masters came from this school and became famous at home and abroad. While marveling, Zhang Hanqing was particularly interested in a controversial cultural monster, or a stubborn and conservative defender.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, when Chinese and Western civilizations were in conflict, and almost all Chinese advanced elements advocated the complete negation of China’s traditional culture and the unreserved absorption of Western civilization, there was a man who was knowledgeable in both Chinese and Western cultures, was proficient in nine languages, and had received 13 Ph.D. A cultural geek with a bachelor's degree bravely stood up to defend traditional Chinese culture. He used Western language to promote the ancient oriental spirit.
He is Gu Hongming.
If Zhang Hanqing’s appreciation of Gu Hongming is simply understood as his isolated, courageous and sparing-nothing promotion of traditional Chinese civilization, then the understanding of Zhang Hanqing would be too superficial, or the understanding of Zhang Hanqing’s thoughts would be too one-sided. Because in an atmosphere of comprehensive learning from the West, Europe, America, and East and Japan, Mr. Gu's love for China and the Chinese people is so unique.
Every bit of this is reflected in the just-published English version of the book "The Spirit of the Chinese".
Once upon a time, Zhang Hanqing, who traveled through time, had a strong sense of responsibility and urgency to achieve his wish to awaken the people and strengthen the country. However, after gradually integrating into this era, he saw facts that could not be shown in movies, TV dramas and history: poor and weak countries, ignorant people with no ideals and future, lofty intellectuals and bureaucrats who are divorced from the people In just a few months of running in, he even felt that the horse bandit soldiers of the 27th Division were cuter than the former
He always felt that it was very difficult to change this situation, and it was not possible to awaken the people by using one or two advanced weapons and one or two shocking "prophetic" methods as he had originally imagined. What does China look like now? Taking Beijing, the representative capital, as an example, it is full of the atmosphere of decadence and backwardness - the Qing Dynasty has collapsed to the point of decay, and Yuan Shikai still thinks about being reborn from this piece of carrion!
Today’s China, from the top to the local level, from the upper class to the ordinary people, has been groping and hesitating about the hope of revitalizing the country. Otherwise, there would not be so many students and talented people studying abroad. Today's citizens already have deep-seated criticism and distrust of Chinese culture. "Foreign monks like to recite sutras" probably took root in the land of China at this time. The great style of the Han and Tang Dynasties has become a trace in the memory, just waiting to be recalled.
“It’s not that Chinese people are born to worship foreign countries, but that in foreign negotiations time and time again, the country has lost both dignity and face, causing the citizens to lose their last bit of confidence. A mere oriental Japan can make the Yuan government helpless and the people shocked and frightened.
At this moment, Gu Hongming stood up and gave the Chinese people a ray of sunshine in the dark clouds. Although his various performances give people the image of a feudal weidegger, even though he still has pigtails that symbolize decadence and backwardness, even though he advocates concubinage, preaches loyalty to the emperor, and has a morbid liking for women's feet. Faced with the raging Western trend of total Westernization and the criticism of the over-corrected traditional culture, what he chose was the same fierce and sharp act of protecting traditional culture: resisting in extreme ways and praising the excellence of Chinese traditional civilization!
Regarding Gu Hongming’s conservatism, the new-school professors criticized a lot and even questioned it.By. A group of Chinese people who have awakened after the Westernization Movement believe that the overall decay of Chinese traditional culture is the crux of China's poverty and weakness. Therefore, the comprehensive replacement of classical Chinese with vernacular is already fully brewing. They even go so far as to believe that traditional Chinese characters, the carrier of culture, are all "sinful".
This is not a joke, but a fact. For example, Qian Xuantong, a well-known language reform activist, phonologist, and one of the advocates of China's "May Fourth" New Culture Movement in official history, believed that Chinese characters were completely behind the times and that if China wanted to catch up In developed countries, it is necessary to eliminate Chinese characters. His views can be represented by one of his own words: "I declare boldly again: If we want to prevent China from being destroyed and make the Chinese nation a civilized nation in the twentieth century, we must abolish Confucianism and destroy Taoism as the fundamental solution. The fundamental solution is to abolish the Chinese language that records Confucianism and Taoist myths."
Many people don’t know who Qian Xuantong is, but in official history, the three major tasks of writing reform after the founding of the People’s Republic of China: simplifying Chinese characters, promoting Mandarin, and formulating and implementing the “Chinese Pinyin Plan” were proposed by Qian Xuantong thirty years ago and have been implemented in Practice it physically. This master of linguistics, with the mentality of hating that iron cannot be transformed into steel, is exploring ways to make China strong again from its roots, but it is just a bit excessive.
It seems now that "abolishing Chinese characters in order to strengthen the country" is nonsense, but at that time, this argument was still very popular and considered a mainstream voice. Its supporters included many big names in literary history: Chen Duxiu, Qu Qiubai, Wu Yuzhang, and Lu Xun , Liu Bannong, Zhao Yuanren all rushed to the hospital because of their illness. In a weak China, there is really no other way to save the country!
Don’t laugh at these pioneers. Didn’t you see that in the 1980s, after the birth of computers, when countless people in the Chinese scientific and technological circles were troubled by the inability to input Chinese characters into computers, the once-popular "Chinese character backwardness theory" once again clamored for supremacy? This is still the case seventy years later, let alone back then?
"Gu Hongming "goes against" the trend and respects Chinese culture. Of course, many people will rebound and attract constant criticism. In addition, his literary thoughts are conservative, but his style is very trendy, and he always has bullets for criticism. Because even though he tried his best to respect Confucianism and Confucius, if you think that he was completely influenced by the Confucian tradition, he would also say some words that would put Confucius to shame. For example, he and his British colleagues once vigorously promoted the cultural taste of Chinese prostitutes: "A If a person wants to truly understand the spirit of Chinese culture, he must go to the "Eight Big Alleys" to see with his own eyes the elegance, hospitality, and charming yet dignified demeanor of those singing girls. Pay special attention to how disgusting the swearing words can be. They blush"
Zhang Hanqing turned to him as a close friend. Is this what a "gentleman is magnanimous"? Dare to do and dare to speak, this is what a man is! Besides, visiting the Eight Hutongs is not a big sin in this era. Hu Shi, Yu Dafu, Chen Duxiu have all visited them. Of course, the "willful" behavior of celebrities is not entirely due to sex, but Chinese literati have this tradition. If you don't go to a brothel, you will be embarrassed to create!
“Maybe he has this kind of tolerance for scholar-bureaucrats visiting brothels in his heart. Anyway, Zhang Hanqing firmly followed Gu Hongming’s footsteps at Peking University at a young age. It only took a short period of time for him to go from being unknown to attracting attention here. There is no way. At this time, the vast majority of Chinese people are firmly "advocating foreigners and favoring foreigners." Maybe this term is not very accurate when used here, but it is indeed the consensus of knowledgeable people who have been bullied for decades. Only reform can save China. Only learning from the West and East can strengthen China. The two gentlemen "Saiins" (science) and "Democraci" (discipline) can save China from fire and water. Therefore, although everyone shared a ardent patriotism, the mainstream opinion criticized Gu Hongming for suppressing the new cultural trend of thought, which made him stand out in Peking University where trendy young people gathered. However, he acted like no one else and went his own way.
Only Zhang Hanqing seemed to understand the inner world of this cultural giant, and even echoed strongly when taking his class: "I very much agree with Mr.'s admiration for Chinese culture. I think it's not that Chinese culture is not good, but that the crooked monks chant the sutras." Wrong! China has led the world in all aspects of science and technology, economy and even culture for thousands of years in history. Only China among the four ancient civilizations still maintains its strong vitality. This fully shows that Chinese culture has its own uniqueness. As the saying goes, "whatever exists is reasonable," how can we forget our ancestors just because of a little setback? With the inclusive characteristics of Chinese culture, we can fully absorb all foreign advanced experience, science, and technology for our own use, but we completely deny it. I have overcorrected. Chinese culture is our root, and through the efforts of our generation and two generations, it will definitely regain its glory!"
This was the opportunity for him to express his worldview by taking advantage of the "Twenty-One" to make the Chinese people hold their breath. It was also his first cry since time travel, issued from Peking University, which is about to become the birthplace of China's entire intellectual elite. , there is a strong sense of fate.

But his voice was too low, because his reputation was too weak, so weak that he could only become Gu Hongming's foil, becoming "another lunatic" ridiculed by Peking University teachers and students. But because of this, Gu Hongming is still very proud of this "bosom friend" who came out halfway. In addition, Zhang Hanqing, who has no experience studying abroad, has a far better understanding of Western literature than his contemporaries. This makes the self-proclaimed "experienced in four oceans" ”——“Born in Nanyang, studied in the West, married in the East, and served in the Beiyang”, Gu Hongming was full of admiration and praised him as a child prodigy. If we hadn't discovered after getting along with him for a while that this "prodigy" didn't want to eat literature at all, maybe Zhang Hanqing could have become his disciple - it's natural that his literary skills are not as good as those of Gu Hongming, but no matter how he is interested in Western literature Zhang Hanqing has his own uniqueness in terms of his knowledge and understanding. After all, he has hundreds of years of experience there.
From the Westernization Movement, the Reform Movement of 1898, to Yuan Shikai's proclaiming emperor, there has been a prevailing trend of thought - to build a unified, prosperous, and independent country through the power of the state, the power of power, and the maximum implementation of social mobilization. Such a line of thought is called "statist trend of thought", which means that for the independence and prosperity of the country, individual freedom must be sacrificed. In this context, Gu Hongming, as the representative, proposed "Respecting Confucius".
This is undoubtedly another extreme for Zhang Hanqing. Even the advertisements in the 21st century claim that "the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has good curative effects", and blindly worshiping foreign countries or respecting China is not good for the treatment of Chinese diseases. It cannot be denied that after the Renaissance, the West's scientific and technological capabilities made a leap, and its economic and industrial strength increased greatly. China still has a long way to go before it can catch up with the powerful countries among them. Therefore, there will be "reform and opening up" in later generations. Attract foreign investment and technology. When it comes to science and technology, China must learn from foreign countries.
However, the accumulation of moral values ??and values ??formed by Chinese Confucian culture, apart from some of the dross, is of great benefit to the formation of a harmonious society and a healthy atmosphere. Culture is also an important part of the country's soft power. Chinese culture is like a big oven that integrates all foreign cultures that have intersected with it in history. Through tolerance and inclusiveness, it has formed the characteristics of richness and diversity, and ultimately formed the Chinese nation. In terms of cultural merits, China can be regarded as the master of all nations.
What should a strong China look like? In addition to being strong in military, industry, science and technology, and economy, we should also be strong psychologically. This is a kind of cultural self-confidence. Taking the center as the body and the west as the function is a brief description to achieve this goal. Now, how can soft power be used to abolish martial arts when hard power is insufficient?
So it wasn't long before Zhang Hanqing became a new oddity at Peking University: he not only agreed with Gu Hongming's praise of Chinese culture, but also opposed the elevation of Confucianism to the level of a state religion, advocating "taking its essence and discarding its dross", and also raised his hands to support the move. "Learning skills from foreign countries" hurt Master Gu very much.
But the budding people of the new culture need not be complacent, especially the group of master-level figures represented by Qian Xuantong who advocated the "abolishing of Chinese characters". Zhang Hanqing also became violent and criticized, but his method was very special and also Very humorous.
When Qian Xuantong was in class, Zhang Hanqing, who was an auditor, handed over a note: "Sir, I know you have always had a grand idea to convert Chinese characters into pinyin and Roman letters. The students do not agree with this. But. When it comes to academics, students would never dare to look at the teacher's back, so I wrote a story in Roman letters and asked the teacher to teach the students the meaning. If the teacher could answer it, the students would naturally think that the pinyinization of Chinese characters is feasible, otherwise they would be beaten to death. I don’t dare to accept it either…”
The students all laughed. In the era of respecting teachers and teaching, it takes courage for students to test their teachers in public. Of course, it is also very good for invigorating the classroom atmosphere, so the classroom began to be filled with a happy atmosphere.
At this time, the academic atmosphere of Peking University has begun to become strong; in the university at this time, the professors really preach and teach students and answer questions; in the classroom at this time, students can openly question the teachers and be encouraged; the professors at this time are You can really put aside your personal biases and conduct academic exchanges. Although he was ideologically opposed to Gu Hongming, and even though he was facing a student who wore the same pants as Gu Hongming, Qian Xuantong still readily accepted the challenge. Of course, in addition to having to meet the challenge, he is still very confident. He must be a master of linguistics.
What Zhang Hanqing handed him was a large string of "shi" groups composed of the same pinyin. The title was 5 words and the full text was 96 words.
This is actually a very famous restricted article in the history of Chinese literature that he stole, "History of Shishi's Lion Eater", written by Zhao Yuanren, the "father of modern Chinese linguistics" in the 1930s. One kanji syllable describes one thing. Zhang Hanqing believes that the article can be understood in Chinese characters, but it cannot be understood by looking at the pinyin or just listening to the pronunciation. Apart from Chinese, I'm afraid no other language can do it.
Sure enoughConvert Chinese characters. "
This is a very pertinent conclusion, and it is also the direction of the subsequent reform of Chinese character education and a plan that has been proven to be very effective in practice. Qian Xuantong is an upright professor and will never ignore this fact just to object. On the contrary, he admired Zhang Hanqing's clear logic very much and agreed with some of his views. He even began to like this young talker. Thinking of the other party's age, Professor Qian couldn't help but wonder, is this the thinking of a middle school student?
This question does not affect Zhang Hanqing's ability to suppress the shy smile of pride in his heart. I am me, eating different fireworks
Zhang Hanqing has become famous in the cultural world. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 15 Feelings at the front door

Sometimes being famous is not a good thing.
As a rival in terms of literary knowledge, the conservative university scholar Gu Hongming was very pleased that Zhang Hanqing, an anonymous disciple, had successfully suppressed a future member of the New Culture Movement. Propaganda is inseparable. After all, it is not worth boasting that the veteran fought and won, not to mention that he had always personally opposed the promotion of the new culture but had not achieved any obvious victory. Now, only Zhang Hanqing, who has just debuted, has reached the state that he has wanted to achieve for many years but has not been able to achieve. This is a victory for the Chinese ancient culture world and a breath of fresh air for the intellectual world!
Under his encouragement, Zhang Hanqing was naturally regarded as his disciple.
“Perhaps for others, it is a lifelong honor for many people to be praised like this by people like Gu Hongming. After all, this is a figure respected by both China and foreign countries. Maybe he is indeed conservative and lonely, but he is also famous, so famous that there is a saying among Westerners: "You can't go to China without seeing the Three Great Halls, but you can't go without seeing Gu Hongming." His approval can give Zhang Hanqing a well-deserved job in the cultural circle of the capital.
But for Zhang Hanqing, the last thing he wanted was to be branded by someone, especially in this special period. The reason why he advocated Gu Hongming was because he expressed what he felt: to treat cultural transmissions from the East and the West rationally, to oppose the Western trend of Western learning that was rampant for total Westernization, and to oppose the overcorrection of traditional culture. The ambition since time travel is to rebuild a strong China, so cultural self-confidence is the first step and the step to lay the foundation.
Moreover, Gu Hongming was a celebrity. In the early days of the Republic of China when fame was a life-saver, it was nothing for him to be arrogant and aloof. That was his true character or the character of a scholar, so it didn't matter if he later scolded Yuan Shikai for proclaiming himself emperor; Zhang Hanqing was just a rising seedling, and he would be arrogant at the slightest sign of trouble. The risk of being trampled is still the kind that will never get over.
Thinking of the previously agreed upon roles that the Zhang family and his son would play when Lao Yuan became emperor in the near future, Zhang Hanqing had every reason to believe that Master Gu would mercilessly expel him from the school if he insisted. If you pay homage to the mountain gate. Instead of being embarrassed when the time comes, it's better to show your character.
So he stopped the rapid flow, and after that he and Qian Xuantong started to commiserate with each other: they believed that the way out for Chinese culture, the way out for China, was to actively absorb advanced Western culture and science and technology for our own use; to critically inherit traditional Chinese culture. All in all, his attitude towards the development direction of Chinese culture is that it cannot be completely Westernized, nor can it blindly promote the old culture. Like a bat that swings between beasts and birds, he has trouble identifying with both the old and the new trends of thought.
He is just trying to follow his own path. In fact, this path has been proven to be successful, that is, "independence, reform and opening up", and the same applies to culture. However, although this idea of ??trying to "have both sides" hurt Gu Hongming, it was like a breath of fresh air and made Zhang Hanqing a topical figure in the academic circle.
At the beginning, Comrade Xiao Zhang was still very proud of his sudden rise in popularity in a short period of time: in future generations, he would also be an internet celebrity. Of course, compared to Internet celebrities, it is even more unusual for Xiao Zhang to become famous at Peking University, a leading academic institution.
"However, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Soon, trouble comes.
First of all, a group of people who were also elites in the cultural world came forward. Of course, considering that Comrade Xiao Zhang was only a junior, they only sent people who were also juniors but were already his seniors in academic terms to come forward: "Junior Hanqing, now the outside support The craze for imperialism and promoting China to welcome new students is rising frequently. I heard that your father, General Zhang, also strongly supports it. But currently there is no sound on the campus of Peking University. You are admitted to Peking University personally by the president. Are you willing to lead the students? Can we raise our arms and do our best?"
"Raise your arms and call out the devil", Zhang Hanqing cursed in his heart, "I will definitely not do something that will be infamy for thousands of years. This is something that will be greatly blackened in history." It seems that I have been living too much these days. By the way, I actually forgot that I came to Peking University to seek refuge and not to seek high profile. Is it because I am so good that I can shine wherever I go?
His status as a proton, Zhang Zuolin's high profile, and some "help" from Yuan Shikai all made him unable to refuse. But what if he is just a high-profile young man but a naughty young man at heart? After all, no one can deny a naughty and unruly young man's yearning for a life of entertainment, right?
"Senior, political matters are what adults should care about. I just want to study at Peking University and enjoy the sights of the Bada Hutongs. To be honest, if my father hadn't forced me to attend classes at Peking University, I would definitely have done so. It’s time to sneak out and go shopping. I’ve been in Beijing for more than half a month and I’ve been there for eight consecutive days.Such is the role of discovery.
It is said that this impromptu work by Zhang Hanqing also came to Yuan Shikai's desk. He did not take it seriously and laughed and said, "It is extremely nonsense. Every teacher must have his disciples, but everyone thinks that Licheng's debauchery is a good story, but Zhang Zuolin's son is Painting a tiger cannot resemble a dog."
Licheng is Gu Hongming. He is a supporter of traditional Chinese culture. Naturally, he has no problem taking concubines and prostitutes: he has taken concubines abroad. He has a Japanese concubine, Sadako Yoshida. He is even more morbid and thinks that women have three-inch golden lotus. There is a kind of ecstatic beauty
Yuan Shikai said these words in front of his eldest son Yuan Kewen. His original intention was to teach Zhang Hanqing a lesson by criticizing him, but he did not want to be led into the same path by him. Zhang and Yuan were both the eldest sons of important ministers of the country, and later they were both listed as one of the "Four Most Beautiful Men of the Republic of China". It is obvious that God's will was involved. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 16 Uninvited Guests

But after experiencing this incident, Zhang Hanqing finally got rid of the annoying entanglement. Everyone is busy, who wants to talk about national affairs with a dude? Faced with the contrast between the cold and sparse crowds in front of the door, Zhang Hanqing sensitively realized that the seniors before were just trying to get the bottom of things, and it was Lao Yuan who was testing him if they were not sure.
It feels bad to be stared at. The more it feels like this, the more we need to keep a low profile to the end!
He wants to keep a low profile, but some people disagree. One morning on the weekend, Zhang Hanqing was still meeting Duke Zhou - this was a habit he had had before the time travel, but unfortunately it was retained. Gao Jiyi came to report gently: "Major General, Mr. Songpo is here to pay his respects."
Zhang Hanqing was surprised: "Mr. Songpo?"
Gao Jiyi thought that he was young and ignorant, so he explained: "He is General Zhaowei and the former governor of Yunnan, Cai E and Cai Songpo."
Of course Zhang Hanqing knew it and respected this legend of the Republic of China very much, although he soon became another legend. This short-lived general, however, made a big splash in modern Chinese history and deserves special mention: Not to mention his reputation as one of the "Three Heroes of Chinese Non-Commissioned Officers", his achievements in protecting the Dharma three times alone can make him stand out from the heroes of the moment. In addition, the story with Xiao Fengxian added a lot of chivalrous tenderness, which made many people admire it.
But Zhang Hanqingya didn't want to meet him in her private house - it wasn't that she didn't want to, it was just that the time was wrong. Oh, no, it's the wrong occasion. You must know that Cai E is in the limelight and is the person Yuan Shikai pays close attention to. He is a small person. At this special moment, he is trying to fish in troubled waters with no name and is ready to sneak away at the right time. Suddenly meeting such a person at home is nothing. What! Can Lao Yuan not doubt himself and increase the intensity of tracking? Isn't this difficult for me?
"However, when Zhu Yake comes to Qinqin, everyone has already arrived, should he be kicked out?" Now that you've come, let's make peace with it. Zhang Hanqing sighed and said, "Please come quickly."
When he hurriedly finished washing and came to the living room, what he saw was a lean middle-aged man. His eyes were not too big, but he was very energetic. He was wearing a general's uniform and looked very capable. Is this the famous General Cai Songpo? Isn't this the person next to Yuan Datou that I met at the Presidential Palace that day? This should be the first celebrity I see after traveling through time, besides my cheap dad, right?
With respect for celebrities, Zhang Hanqing bowed and saluted politely, and said loudly: "My nephew didn't know that Uncle Shi was coming, so I have violated some etiquette. Please forgive me for that." Zhang Zuolin and Cai E were in the same court. As an official, the relationship between uncle and nephew is not bad.
Cai E stared at Zhang Hanqing with his tiger eyes for a moment, then accepted the gift with a smile. He took Zhang Hanqing's hand, looked at him and said, "It's okay. Since Brother Yu Ting asked you to come to Beijing to study, how can I not see you? A few days ago, at the Presidential Palace, there were some inappropriate remarks. It's convenient." The motivation for this trip was explained in one sentence. It was nothing more than a way to get closer to each other.
Zhang Hanqing secretly slandered: "It seems that dad and you don't have any friendship, right? But carrying people in a sedan chair and communicating with each other are traditional Chinese virtues, and in the face of this famous person in modern history, greetings such as "Today's weather is hahaha" It is indispensable.
Since he has become "Uncle Shi", Cai E can't speak too suddenly. At least he must follow Uncle Shi's example. It is necessary to ask for help. Eternal topics such as whether you are used to living in Beijing, whether there are any difficulties in studying arrangements, etc. will inevitably be staged as foreshadowing. Zhang Hanqing naturally burst into tears to accept the kindness of this "uncle", and his reaction was what he should have at this age.
Cai E told some tidbits about Beijing, and Zhang Hanqing also mentioned the anecdotes around Peking University. The two sides went back and forth, and their Tai Chi skills were outstanding. However, since Cai E didn't open the gourd, there was no need for Zhang Hanqing to take the initiative to open it. The two started talking about the wind and sand in the sky in Beijing, and Zhang Hanqing suspected that the situation of soil erosion in Inner and Inner Mongolia was not optimistic; then they went to the lotuses blooming by the Weiming Lake, and then to the heavy rain a few days ago that flooded the front door to the ankles. It's a big circle to figure out the flaw in the drainage system.
Zhang Hanqing has always been a talkative person. His many years of experience in the enterprise have greatly increased his knowledge. Besides, his century of experience is not in vain. At least he gave Cai E the impression of being knowledgeable and self-contained. But you always feel tired after talking about these unnutritious words, don't you?
Cai E’s eyes rolled slightly, he didn’t want to beat around the bush anymore. The young man in front of him, young and honest, honest and honest (if Zhang Hanqing knew that this talented person actually commented on him like this in his heart, would he bleed?), maybe he is really just a bargaining chip between Zhang Zuolin and Yuan Shikai? Pretending to be careless, he asked casually: "Brother Yuting, what do you want to say to Han Qing when he comes here? Although your uncle Cai has a humble position, he has been in Beijing for a long time, so he still has some connections and needs uncle's help. Han Qing, please don’t see anyone outside.? "
Finally getting down to business, Zhang Hanqing felt secretly contemptuous and felt embarrassed. Didn't he just ask my dad what he really meant? He couldn't help but want to play a prank, and said casually: "Lin Lai, my father had a secret instruction, and asked my nephew to tell Uncle Shi that in the future, all stories, big and small, in and outside Beijing, will be followed by Uncle Shi."
It was General Cai’s turn to be surprised—could Zhang Zuolin be able to predict his own intentions? But he knew that the sudden visit was just a whim. I heard that the eldest son of Zhang Zuolin, a strongman outside the Pass, was there, so I wanted to have a taste of the customs outside the Pass. It would be great if I could get something from the young major general. A son is better known than his father, and a father is better known than his son. When he thought about it, the young man who was only 15 years old probably didn't have any scheming, right? After all, he is at that age, and he is calculating mentally but not carelessly.
Cai E was very cautious, otherwise his fame and prestige would have been forcibly transferred from the post of governor of Yunnan to his side by the current hero Yuan Shikai. Being able to stay in this land of crouching tigers and hidden dragons for several years, not only is there no danger of life, but also one is gradually promoted to a higher position - no matter whether it is promotion or demotion, it is not without two brushes.
Of course, I have also thought about whether Zhang Zuolin had something to say about his son before coming here, and did he say this on purpose? But he is still quite famous in Yunnan, but after a few years in the capital, even the iron pestle will rust. With a new dignitary like Zhang Zuolin, he will not be counted among them, right?
“This is indeed the case, but it’s a pity that the other party is Zhang Hanqing.
After the success of the Revolution of 1911, Cai E, the greatest hero of Yunnan Province, won the favor of Zhongfu. Although Cai was a supporter of Yuan Shikai's capital in Beijing and defended Yuan many times during the Second Revolution, his purpose was to maintain unity, not dictatorship, which made Yuan Shikai at the center very uneasy.
In October 1913, Cai E's throat disease recurred. Yuan Shikai took the opportunity to transfer him to Beijing under the pretext of "allowing him to be given three months of sick leave and summoning him to Beijing for recuperation" and he was placed under house arrest. But in view of his huge prestige, Yuan Shikai did not dare to make other moves. Later, he accepted the suggestion of his adviser Yang Du and named Cai E "General Zhaowei", assuming some nominal positions to win over him. Although "General Zhaowei" was the title given to the head general of the Republic of China, he was actually deprived of his military power and placed under strict surveillance.
Of course Lao Yuan still pities Cai. Yuan Shikai admired Cai E's military talents very much and invited him to have lunch every day. It was during the period of the "Suppression Campaign" of the Bai Lang Army, and Yuan Shikai safely handed over all planning information and related documents and messages regarding the "Suppression Campaign" to Cai E for review. From this, Cai E gained insight into the Beiyang Army's background and weaknesses, and concluded that "one division in Yunnan is enough to defeat ten Beiyang divisions. In military terms, Yuan's chances of victory are definitely not in his favor."
But apart from his reliance on military staff, his political status as a general was much lower. As Lao Yuan wavered between autocracy and republic, he became even more worried about Cai E, who had military capabilities. With Bai Lang dead in battle, there is no use for the hero. At this time, he still considered the overall situation of the country and agreed with Yuan Shikai's unification of political and military orders.
After Yuan Shikai signed the traitorous "Twenty-One Articles" with the Japanese imperialists, Cai E's heart was deeply hurt, and his good impression of Yuan was wiped out; the subsequent "Safeguarding Meeting" was even more Let him hate Yuan deeply. However, in order to avoid arousing Yuan Shikai's suspicion, Cai E publicly criticized Liang Qichao, who opposed the imperial system, and actively expressed his "support of the imperial system."
But in private, Cai E, Liang Qichao and others secretly discussed the plan to "overthrow Yuan". At the same time, Cai E was also contacting old friends and spying on the statements of princes from various provinces on this matter. But when it comes to life and death, the true opinions of all parties are unclear, making the always cautious General Cai even more cautious. Later, he had no choice but to live in seclusion, "hanging out" in the Bada Hutong, eating flower wine and pretending to be drunk and dreaming, pretending to have no ambition. After all, people have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves.
As a celebrity in Beijing, his every move attracts attention from all parties. Some people who were anti-Yuan in their hearts were disappointed when they saw that the famous "General Songpo" was openly acting as Yuan's hawk, and they couldn't help but restrain themselves. This was the abnormal situation in Beijing where "ten thousand horses were in silence".
Surrounding Beijing are the territories of the Beiyang system, which are really strong soldiers and horses. The longer Cai E stayed in Beijing, the more he understood the strength of the Beiyang Army: The army founded by Lao Yuan was really not reliable. Although the Yunnan Army was confident of victory, it could not withstand the power of the Beiyang Army and its long distance——"Caiyunzhinan" "After all, you can't touch the sky in Beijing. If the war continues, it will inevitably be protracted and the lives of people will be devastated. How to quickly defeat the Beiyang Army to preserve the vitality of the Republic of China was what this outstanding military strategist often thought about.
When the Yunnan Army restrained the main force of the Beiyang Army from the front, the closest place that could really give Yuan a blow was Zhang Zuolin in the northeast, that is, Fengtian. If Fengtian can hit him in the back, well, it will be a big deal.
From what we have learned so far, Zhang Zuolin is still very enthusiastic about Yuan Shikai proclaiming himself emperor. To be specific, he suddenly became enthusiastic. From the day when his secret telegram to persuade people to move into the country was announced by Yuan Shikai, Fengtian's footsteps became bigger and bigger. It is said that Zhang Zuolin even personally gave a speech to the leading figures and elected members of Fengtian provincial capital about the significance of the movement to persuade people to move into the country. Judging from various reactions, there is no doubt that Zhang Zuolin is a complete supporter of Yuan.

Chapter 17 Telling the truth
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
But Cai E did not give up. If he wanted to suffer less losses in the future battle against Yuan, Fengtian's role was undoubted. In the area around the capital, the only one that could pose a threat to the Beiyang Army was Zhang Zuolin's 27th Division outside the Pass. Otherwise, with Lao Yuan's IQ, why would he favor General Fengtian so much? There are many people who are stronger than him: Jilin General Meng Enyuan and Heilongjiang General Xu Lanzhou are both heavily armed. Even Feng Delin from Fengtian Province is not an easy person to deal with, but Lao Yuan has only been wary of Zhang Zuolin since the Republic of China. Although I despise his "vulgarity" from the bottom of my heart. Lao Yuan's vision is very good.
Cai E doesn’t believe in any words of “persuading progress” because most of the politicians’ words on the surface are untrustworthy, and isn’t he just being conceited? There has always been no news inside and outside the customs. To find out what Zhang Zuolin really meant, we had no one to ask. Now, Young Master Zhang is here! Judging from Zhang Hanqing's performance some time ago, there is no doubt that he is a standard dandy, but this is good, because he can ask for some truth.
"I am the only one who follows the horse's lead", is it because I once agreed with the imperial system, Zhang Zuolin cited me as a comrade, so we expressed our stance to advance and retreat together? Or does he know my heart well and wants to lie dormant with me and then raise a flag of rebellion? You have to weigh this carefully. I have never interacted with that old man from Fengtian, and I haven't had much friendship with him. Maybe this is just a scene.
He really didn’t expect that this was just Zhang Hanqing’s casual conversation. In fact, in Zhang Zuolin's eyes, no matter how famous Cai E is, he is just a has-been empty-headed general. He is nothing after leaving Yunnan, so he will not let Zhang Hanqing deliberately set up a friendship with him. At this time, Lao Zhang's eyes were fixed on the powerful figures in the cabinet around Yuan Shikai.
General Cai pretended to be delighted, "Oh? Does Brother Yuting also fully agree with the restoration of the monarchy?" He patted his head: "By the way, Brother Yuting just published it in the newspaper a few days ago, and he is extremely loyal to the president. The sun is shining brightly. Look at my memory, hahaha."
?????????????? He laughed, and with the righteousness on his face that he could not pretend to be, Zhang Hanqing was speechless for a while: "Young man, you still want to fight with me? I have seen through your whole life, and you still pretend?"
The advantage of being an experienced person gave Zhang Hanqing the upper hand in the conversation from the beginning. He was too lazy to conduct useless tests with Cai E and said with a smile: "If Uncle Shi wants to know how much support my father will give to President Yuan in the next step, one thing will become clear right away. You know. However, the nephew knows that Uncle Shi is not here to ask his father how to flatter President Yuan! The nephew can also assure Uncle Shi that his father's true mentality is the same as Uncle Shi's. He asked the nephew to stay in Beijing. "Uncle Weishi is following his lead, but it's not just a whim!"
Seeing Cai E's surprised expression, he really hated the hypocritical probing from both sides, so Zhang Hanqing had to make it clear: "Uncle Shi, let's stop hiding it and open the skylight and speak openly. What do you think of me, nephew?" You know, are you just here to test my father’s attitude towards the president becoming emperor? Just one sentence: I disapprove! If uncle Shi takes action in the future, my father will definitely respond from the north!"
Even though General Cai had such a strong aura, he was frightened to death by the few words spoken by the young man in front of him. It took him a while to calm down, and he said without confidence: "Nonsense!"
"Constitutional monarchy has become the general trend, and there are unanimous voices of approval at home and abroad. Your father and I both issued statements on the current situation some time ago, both of which support the monarchy. How can national affairs be trivial? How can you, a kid, just mess around? You said that?" I originally wanted to find an opportunity to deceive this "Fengtian young man", but he was shocked to the point of being blown away by him. Since ancient times, there has been no room for mistakes in this kind of chaos. Once you fall into the trap of espionage and espionage, there will be no recovery.
General Cai still seems to be worried about this young man. After all, he is not able to do things well with his words. "I don't know what Fengjun's superiors and subordinates think about it. I guess they are pretty much the same. After I go back, I have to grow a beard no matter what - I don't know when the downy hair will turn into a beard? Old people envy young people, and young people sometimes But you need to pretend to be worldly, what's wrong with this world?" Zhang Hanqing thought with self-pity.
"But the big liar in front of me really doesn't have the talent for liar. When his trump card is exposed, his vicious look is revealed. This person is too unprofessional as an actor. Even a decent reprimand is ineffective.
Zhang Hanqing added fuel to the fire and said: "Since Uncle Shi refuses to have a heart-to-heart talk, Xueliang cannot continue to talk in detail. However, it is necessary to remind Uncle Shi that the 'ice drinking room' is not a safe place and will lead to disaster in the long run."
With just one word, Cai E's color changed drastically. He stared directly at Zhang Hanqing and asked in shock: "How did Hanqing know?"
"Ice Drinking Room" refers to the place where Liang Qichao settled in Tianjin, located at No. 25 Xima Road. Because the concession was once considered a safer place. Here, General Cai E often came to Tianjin on the pretext of seeking medical treatment, and met his mentor Liang Qichao in the "old residence" building.To fight against Yuan's plan. They secretly agreed that if things went wrong, Liang would promote public opinion and denounce Yuan's traitor, while Cai would launch a war to protect the country and crush Yuan's dream.
This is an extremely secret matter. Only the master and the apprentice are involved. Cai E simply does not believe that Zhang Hanqing knows this secret. But now that Zhang Hanqing has revealed this place, there is really no need to hide the matter! He always thought that what he did was secret. Zhang Zuolin was far away from the customs, but he knew his whereabouts well. It seemed that he had a big plan. But how did he find out?
Until this time, Cai E still firmly believed that Zhang Zuolin had his own source of intelligence and just confessed his secret to Zhang Hanqing.
In fact, Zhang Hanqing only relied on his "prophecy" to know this place. After realizing that he was being used as a "proton", he took the trouble to consider ways to escape in the future. It can be used as a reference and I am familiar with the routine. It is no wonder that "Cai E and Xiao Fengxian", the countless wild history legends that have had a great influence on later generations, has also been filmed with the same name. Who is acting with whom? Well, it doesn't matter.
The important thing is to know that there is a person like Cai E and such a thing. At that time, Cai E and Liang Qichao, masters and disciples, were both literary and military, and they responded to each other from the north to the south. The small study room "Drinking Ice Room" where this movement was planned became truly the birthplace of the movement against Yuan Huguo that broke out in Yunnan and then spread across the country.
Zhang Zuolin and his son were outside the customs and had plans, so they paid close attention to the developments within the customs, especially in Beijing and Tianjin. Therefore, it was inevitable to arrange some people in Beijing and Tianjin, just like the Beijing offices in various places in later generations. In this way, there would usually be someone to tell me about some big or small things in Beijing, so the place would not be left in the dark.
How could Zhang Hanqing not pay attention to such a big thing as Cai E's rebellion against Yuan? Before coming to Beijing, Zhang Hanqing paid special attention to the movements of the two civil and military generals Liang Qichao and Cai E through his father. Calculating mentally but not intentionally, he followed the clues and dug out Liang Qichao's lair.
Of course, Zhang Hanqing will definitely not tell Cai E about this. It’s better to let him keep questions - there is definitely a difference between being treated as a pawn and being taken seriously. Moreover, it is very satisfying to have General Cai, who is famous all over the world, have a sense of mystery about him, and it also increases the weight and influence of his words. He said pretentiously: "Since my father wants me to be on the same page as Uncle Shi, how can Xueliang keep up if I don't even know where Uncle Shi usually goes?"
"what do you know"?
"I know everything"!
The two said nothing more, just looking at each other blankly.
General Cai's heart felt like a five-flavor bottle had been turned over. The respectful young man in front of him seemed to be able to see his trump card clearly. It seems that people say that heroes have emerged from youth since ancient times, and this is true. Of course, he didn't realize that he was once one of those young people who failed.
"However, Cai E is worthy of being a strong general among thousands of troops, and he quickly got out of the unfavorable situation. He said openly: "In this case, it will be more convenient for everyone to talk. Although my father and I are not old friends, we have met several times. I just heard from Han Qing that Brother Yuting is opposed to the implementation of a constitutional monarchy and is also a member of the same group. Man. Is it just that Father thinks that the situation is really out of control?"
Zhang Hanqing nodded without thinking and said: "That's true. The president has been preparing for more than a year or two to be the emperor. Since the success of the revolution, he has become the president of both the north and the south, and his power has become uncontrollable. By the beginning of last year, even The last fig leaf of the dictatorship, the National Assembly, was also dissolved. Later, it used the shameful excuse that "the people abused their freedom to cook and the people's political understanding is still in their infancy" to abolish the Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China. In May last year The new "Constitution of the Republic of China" was introduced and the cabinet system was changed to a presidential system. Later, the presidential election law was revised so that the president could be re-elected indefinitely and the new president was appointed by the sitting president."
He said leisurely: "The Yuan family has been able to act as president, and just like this, the wind of constitutional monarchy can still be blown. Now that the rumor has spread and become stronger, it means that this is by no means groundless!"
All this is the same as Cai E’s judgment. The reason why I still ask this is to confirm Fengtian Zhang Zuolin’s knowledge. The matter was serious and he did not dare to take it lightly. However, seeing this young master pretending to be cool, he still felt a little admiration in his heart: "Zhang Zuolin, a bandit leader, could give birth to such an extraordinary son. It is really incredible." He was interested in taking the exam for Zhang Hanqing, and asked slowly: "What does my nephew think? Can President Yuan do this?"
Zhang Hanqing spat lightly and said with a smile: "This is a prelude to committing suicide. How is he, the great president, any different from the emperor? He still has to go through all the trouble like this, insisting on tearing everyone's face off! The Republic of China has come to this end Now, there is no room for reversing the course of history. Now President Yuan Da is still in control of the situation, just because the evil deeds have not yet been done, and all parties are waiting to see what happens. There is a saying, "The Duke of Zhou is afraid of the day of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble." Before usurping the throne, if he died now, he would still be able to retain his reputation. After all, he was still the first president of China, and the Chinese people have always been very tolerant of this first."
"But when he raised the banner of the emperor, the subsequent situation was definitely beyond his control. At least Xueliang knew that as long as Uncle Shi was around, the president would not have a good life. My father was also working hard outside the Pass. , and prepare to eliminate this problem for the country in the future."

Chapter 18 I fight for personality for 40 million people
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Cai E made a move: Yunnan is too far away from Beijing. If there is an opportunity to raise the anti-Yuan banner in the future, it will not be possible to fulfill the important task of protecting the law without a long-term war. If Zhang Zuolin can go with the flow, it will be of great benefit to the overall situation. But I don’t know if Zhang Zuolin is just saying this, or if he really means it? He said with emotion: "Brother Yuting will really take up the banner of anti-Yuan? If so, it will be a blessing for China."
Zhang Hanqing secretly laughed in his heart: "It is true that we must strengthen our troops, and it is also true that we can eliminate this problem for the country in the future. But we have to wait until everyone is done fighting and Beijing is empty before dad dares to take advantage of the situation. Do you want to be the leader? Our Zhang family has another Not stupid." However, he still said with a serious expression: "Of course. Before Xueliang left, my father told me to be careful and wait for an opportunity to leave Beijing. After safely leaving Beijing, he will use force to fight for the dignity of 40 million people!"
"Fight for the personality of 40 million people!" Cai E's eyes were moist. This was what he was thinking, but the boy in front of him said it. "I am not alone in my path," he thought.
Hey is pitiful, Zhang Zuolin can't say such a tall words anyway. These bold words were all thought out by Zhang Hanqing himself, right? Of course, it was true that Zhang Zuolin asked him to wait for an opportunity to leave Beijing. Without him, he could safely fish in troubled waters and bargain for some benefits. The reason for this is that Zhang Hanqing himself does not have the confidence to leave Beijing safely - after all, he is alone and unfamiliar with the country. The General Cai in front of him has a wide network of contacts: it may not be convenient for him to escape, but there should be a way to arrange for a little person like himself who cannot get on the stage. Don't be afraid that he won't contribute. With his advantageous father as a "comrade" and the bait of "soldier admonishment", he has to get himself out safely no matter what, right?
And having said that, there are still many ideas in his mind that if he wants to put them into practice, the people in front of him can help him greatly: with his connections, he will always know some people. If he hopes that his father can play an important role in countering Yuan's plan , it is the right thing to do to let your father sit high. Even if he makes a few recommendations, it will be great for Fengtian, which is in desperate need of talents.
He blushed because he had come up with this idea. After all, he was young and his face had not yet become thick and dark. But Cai E thought he was too excited. Not only was he not upset, but he was also happy that the country had such a righteous successor. He stood up excitedly and patted Zhang Hanqing on the shoulder: "Hanqing, I'm very relieved. You can stay here peacefully. On the day when the end of the road comes, if something goes wrong, I will arrange for you to leave the capital first. "
This shot narrowed the distance between the uncle and nephew, and made Zhang Hanqing's heart come together with General Cai. In troubled times, is there any more thoughtful promise than ensuring one's own safety? Benefactor!
Having said that, for the sake of Zhang Hanqing’s safety, he still needs to be cautious about some things. This is Cai E’s home court. So Cai E told Zhang Hanqing: "During this period, stay away from politics, ignore external disturbances, and don't get involved. It will only attract attention and will not help anything."
He spoke from the bottom of his heart. Since January this year, the Yuan government has become increasingly strict in controlling public opinion: In the spring, Wu Nai, the chief writer of Beijing's Guofeng Daily, nicknamed "Wu Hutou", and Qiu Liang, the former editor-in-chief of Beijing's Panzhu Daily, He was shot to death for rebelling against Yuan.
On June 8, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Yuan Shikai's government ordered the ban on the "Declaration of the National Salvation Association", "Basic Talk on National Salvation", "Monument Novels", "China Vernacular News", "Patriotic Evening News", "National Salvation News", "May 7th" "Newspaper", "Gong Lun Bao" and other newspapers and pamphlets.
On September 6, Huang Yuansheng, a famous journalist who left Beijing in a hurry, published an notice in Shenbao, refusing to serve as the chief editor of the Shanghai edition of Asia Daily; on the 10th, the Shanghai edition of Asia Daily, "with the purpose of sponsoring the imperial movement", was founded. On the same day, I received a warning letter from readers ordering the publication to cease publication; the next day, I was attacked by police.
Under this situation, it seems that our future young commander can only immerse himself in studying and wait for a change, but thinking about it, it seems that he can't calm down like water. For Zhang Hanqing, it is strange that he can study well under the threat of others all the time! Besides, time waits for nothing. Can I achieve my lofty ambitions and ambitions by reading a few books now? An extra hundred years of knowledge is already an extremely precious asset. Do you need a few more books to support your appearance?
Zhang Hanqing often wonders: What did he do after traveling through time? Apart from a few helpful but inexpensive strategies based on historical experience, there was really little help for my father, and my father was the cornerstone of implementing my own ideas. In a word, the stronger the Feng clique seizes power, the greater their chances and ability to exert a golden finger effect.
? Here, although it is full of danger, it is safe. Because we know that Zhang Zuolin did not really turn against President Yuan until he was about to die. If I want to speed up the progress of the Fengxian, can I also contribute some ideas?
In this troubled world, it is impossible to rely on others, even my father Zhang Zuolin. Historically, even as powerful as the Feng Clan, there were still seeds of discord buried within; whether in the early or later stages, it took only three years for one's own substitute to manage what would become a huge military and political group. Thanks also to the two commanders before and after: Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang. And even if this group can unite around itself, to be honest, many of its people are not capable and ambitious enough to realize its ambitions.
The Northeast is too small. Although there are many talents, most of them don’t have a big picture view
When you come to this colorful world, if you want to do something, you still need your own team. Tan Hai was just a martial artist, and Gao Jiyi was not particularly capable in military affairs. If he wanted to do something big, he would need a large number of talented people who could bring peace and stability to the country. Where were they?
"The main reason is that I don't know my name and I don't show my identity. Who would be stupid enough to follow a half-year-old child?" Even Zhuge Liang was attracted by Liu Bei's identity and his wandering experience. Forget it, it depends on fate. From now on, I will always maintain the mentality of "vomiting food three times after eating". In the Republic of China, where everything depends on appearance and seniority, just follow your father and lay eggs, and then choose the opportunity.
However, my father’s life was not very satisfactory. As the eldest son, although he had not yet participated in military aircraft, he knew that Zhang Zuolin had borrowed several loans from the Japanese, and all the money was used to equip a 27th Division. Money was really tight. Dad didn’t even have the money to maintain the artillery, let alone the ability to repair and build it. With such financial resources, when can we achieve great development?
No matter what you do, you need money! Zhang Hanqing, who was well aware of Zhang Zuolin's financial dilemma, decided to use General Cai's connections in the capital to contribute to the increase of Fengtian's finances. Of course, I am now in a bad light on the Beiyang characters, so I need to discuss it carefully before making countermeasures.
Just do it, Zhang Hanqing is not an indecisive person. The stupid spirit in his bones and the clear "career" plan made him quickly realize that the empty-handed general in front of him still had some meat to squeeze.
"If you want to plan for big things, how can you look forward and backward? Besides, my father is busy with President Yuan Da's 'big things'. It's too late for him to thank me. The danger is definitely out of the question now, haha. But Uncle Shi, my father's strength It’s really too weak, and it will be difficult for me to do anything in the future. My nephew really wants to use Uncle Shi’s connections and wisdom to contribute to the great development of the Republic of China.”
Cai E is very selfless, there is no doubt about this. From the time he held an important position in Yunnan in the early Republic of China to the later Dharma Protector Movement, countless enemies and friends can testify for him. It is one thing that General Cai can fight, but without this lofty prestige, how could he dare to raise a rebel flag from Yunnan a few years later? This confidence is also a clear proof.
He fully agreed with Zhang Hanqing's desire to strengthen his father's power, which was both public and private. Now that an anti-Yuan alliance has been formed in private, the greater Lao Zhang's power, the more powerful and effective the anti-Yuan alliance will be in the future. However, he said hesitantly: "Your father should know that although I am the top general in name, my ability to help him in Beijing's military affairs is limited. Besides, Brother Yuting is currently only the commander of the 27th Division. It’s difficult to get things done in private, so we still need to remind him not to alarm Beijing.”
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? What he was thinking was that since Zhang Zuolin wanted to rebel against Yuan privately, the idea of ??recruiting troops was inevitable, and a kind reminder was necessary.
He misunderstood what Zhang Hanqing meant. In the Communist era, wars were fought on logistics and economy, and the recruiting-style conscription has been eliminated by the times. Although the conscription of troops without regard for the life and death of the people under the rule can temporarily expand the impact on paper, it will never last long. Going militarily is by no means the way for the Feng Faction led by Zhang Zuolin to become stronger. The rise of the Feng Faction in official history is based on the economic power that dominates other factions. The Feng Army is only an inevitable product under these conditions.
When he came to this world, Zhang Hanqing decided to use his own conditions to quickly build a powerful Feng army. Of course, he also needed to create a matching industrial and economic system. In this troubled time, of course he would not encourage his father to venture into military expansion and make Lao Yuan suspicious, but what about expanding Lao Zhang's private wealth? A fact that cannot be ignored is that an era of wealth and power is coming soon!
So Zhang Hanqing explained: "Of course my nephew is aware of Uncle Shi's situation, and of course he won't make it difficult for Uncle Shi. What my nephew wants is to use Uncle Shi's connections to let my father talk to envoys from various European countries. We learn from each other’s strengths to do business.”
Hearing Zhang Hanqing’s idea, Cai E couldn’t help but become curious: “Does Yuting want to buy arms?” (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 19 Business Opportunities

In Cai E's opinion, it was Zhang Zuolin who had this idea. As we all know, before and after the Republic of China, although China armed a so-called new army and seemed to be in line with other countries, in fact, China's military industry lagged far behind that of the East and the West. So far, the country's industrial level has not been able to manufacture its own products. Get out the gun.
??In the view of the traditional military elite, a thousand troops are easy to obtain, but a single gun is difficult to obtain. Nowadays, many people are serving as soldiers just to put food on the table. It is indeed much easier to recruit soldiers than to acquire guns. Zhang Zuolin wanted to raise the banner against Yuan Shikai with a division of troops. If he didn't light up the arms and make a fortune, he would really feel uneasy. What Zhang Hanqing said about "doing business" with foreigners was probably a fig leaf for the arms deal.
In this regard, Cai E really has a way. Whether it is to reassure "allies" or to strengthen anti-Yuan forces, he will take over without hesitation. However, when he asked Zhang Hanqing carefully: "Is the Yuting plan a gun or a cannon? How much ammunition?", Zhang Hanqing couldn't help laughing.
"Uncle Shi, the business my nephew is talking about is real business! By buying arms, your strength may increase greatly in the short term, but this is by no means a long-term solution."
Cai Ezuo suddenly realized: Is he buying a machine? This is the right path to a strong military. Zhang Zuolin should not teach him to fish but teach him to fish. This insight is beyond the reach of ordinary warlords. It is indeed not easy for him to dominate Fengtian for a long time. But he was in trouble: "Han Qing, if it were two years ago, I could definitely take this line. But now the European War is in full swing, and Western countries are all working hard to build arms, and they want to buy and manufacture mother aircraft. In a short while, I can’t say I’m sure yet.”
Zhang Hanqing burst out laughing again, so much so that Cai E felt a little hairy: Could it be that he had made a mistake again? Who did you, a stupid kid, learn to play Jifu from? Can't you talk properly? Just when he wanted to spank him impulsively, Zhang Hanqing finally behaved himself: "Uncle Shi really made a mistake. We are really doing business this time."
"Europe is now in a stalemate stage of positional warfare, and the trend has not changed for a long time. My nephew is thinking that every day there are whistling artillery shells above his head and dense machine gun bullets in his ears. In the intensive defense on both sides The only thing the soldiers on the front line can do is stay in the trenches and do nothing. What they want to do and what they need is our business."
Our General Cai is completely dizzy. As a first-class soldier, it is impossible for him not to pay attention to the war in Europe, but his and Zhang Hanqing's concerns are definitely different. What he focused on was the strategic and tactical planning and grasp of fighter opportunities by both warring parties. Zhang Hanqing seemed to be most enthusiastic about the business opportunities.
"Oh, let's take a look." General Cai's interest greatly increased. For him who has been immersed in the military for half his life, he really can't figure out what items the Western powers, whose industrial and economic strength far exceeds China's, are lacking, which may be beneficial to his military research.
"Tobacco," Zhang Hanqing blurted out: "The best things to kill boring time are beautiful women, tobacco and alcohol. War makes women go away, and they are not allowed to drink, but smoking can refresh and soothe the nerves, which cannot be denied by any coach. According to I know from the newspapers that in August last year Belgium collected tobacco from various countries in the United Kingdom and the United States, and even established the 'Belgian Soldiers Tobacco Foundation'. Others include the British Expeditionary Force, the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, the Canadian Expeditionary Force, etc. are all in need.
We grow a lot of tobacco in the Northeast. My nephew is thinking that if there is a chance to contact the Allied Powers, we can supply them with a large amount of high-quality and low-priced tobacco. Firstly, it will effectively support their logistics on the battlefield and indirectly show that our country Secondly, we can also obtain valuable profits from it. The most important thing is to export a large amount of tobacco to foreigners instead of poisoning the Chinese. No matter what, it is a very meaningful thing. "
This is Zhang Hanqing’s first business experience after he came to Beijing and thought about it for a period of time. It is by no means made in response to the situation.
Looking at the overall situation, it has been more than a year since the First World War started, and all the major powers have been involved in it one after another. Where China should go has been debated endlessly in China's military and political circles. Of course, knowledgeable people such as Duan Qirui and Cai E strongly supported China's joining the Allied Powers. The reason was that Britain, France and Russia were either major powers at sea or on land, or they had vast territories with war potential, and the Allies would definitely lose.
But because the Japanese were concerned about the German occupation of Qingdao, they firmly opposed China's declaration of war on Germany - so that Japan, which had decided to join the Allied Powers, would not be able to attack its "ally" China. Under the pressure of the Japanese government, Yuan Shikai was hesitant to make a decision, fatally watching the Japanese occupy Qingdao and losing the opportunity.
Since then, Japan has continued to influence China's right to declare war until 1917. This also made China ridiculed by foreigners as "sitting back and enjoying the gains" for entering the war too late. The humiliating scene at the Paris Peace Conference after the war was not only due to its weak national power, but also the Chinese government’s response was too slow. If China canTobacco was successfully "introduced" into the European battlefield. This thing, which is a military requirement along with ammunition, food, and medicine, can completely represent China's contribution to the Allies!
You must know that life in the trenches became more and more boring as the war lasted. Especially after the Battle of the Marne, both sides fighting on the Western Front began to build trenches for long-term confrontation, thus turning into positional warfare. Caught between countless artillery pieces and dense machine guns, any charge by either side was bound to suffer huge losses, so ordinary soldiers got a chance to breathe. Smoking a cigarette gracefully while taking a break on the battlefield and then dying calmly in battle is an immortal theme in American blockbusters. It was this that led Zhang Hanqing to discover business opportunities.
The "Belgian Soldiers Tobacco Foundation" has been calling on the American public, "The demand for tobacco by frontline soldiers is beyond our imagination. Tobacco is the comfort that soldiers in the trenches crave most" In their calculations, every person wearing a bag has The package of tobacco was worth 25 cents and contained 50 cigarettes, a large pack of tobacco leaves, and a box of matches.
How much is 25 cents worth? This only makes sense in terms of price comparison. Of course, because the silver dollar at this time was still very powerful, based on the ratio of one gram of gold, 5 U.S. dollars, and 9 silver dollars, it can be roughly concluded that the silver dollar is equivalent to 45 cents.
What is the purchasing power of a silver dollar at this time? According to relatively reliable research, it can be roughly converted to 30 kilograms of rice. However, it is unfair to compare this number with today, because at that time, the harvest from one acre of land was only a hundred pounds. In other words, the value of ten packs of these cigarettes in Europe is equivalent to the output of one acre of land in China, and the profits can be imagined.
In the north, from Fengtian to Rehe, countless tobacco plants are grown. In official history, these tobaccos were an important economic source for Zhang Zuolin to expand his army and seize territory. They were also a reflection of China becoming a major tobacco country. Although they are aware of the dangers of tobacco, the Zhangs and their sons, whose power is still in its infancy, will never ban tobacco cultivation for the so-called long-term national destiny. On the contrary, in Zhang Hanqing's plan, the tobacco industry is an important part of improving the Zhang family's wealth.
Before the Republic of China, most Chinese people smoked dry cigarettes, water pipes, etc. After the Republic of China, cigarettes developed rapidly, and many famous brands appeared: the domestic time-honored "Laodao" brand, the British and American company's rookie "Sanbaotai" brand in 1914, and the Harbin brand founded in 1919. Demen brand, Fairy brand aimed at the female market, Daqianmen brand of a century-old store The brand promotion of cigarettes at this time was no less than that of later generations. For example, the advertisement of the "Three Fortresses" brand is "Three Fortresses, today's famous cigarette; Liu Guanzhang, in ancient times The advertisement of Daqianmen is "Big people attract 'Daqianmen', they are generous".
How can Europe and the United States stand out from the competition with the heritage of the world's major tobacco countries? Zhang Hanqing is confident that China's tobacco industry will move into a new world. Even if there is no creativity in marketing in Europe, reorganizing the tobacco industry is also Zhang Hanqing's first step to revitalize Fengtian's economy. As for the feeling of guilt, I'm sorry, but if Zhang Hanqing doesn't do it, these brands will still be established. Besides, Zhang Xueliang has even smoked cigarettes in his history, so cigarettes are nothing.
Purchasing tobacco is not a problem, nor is it difficult to build a tobacco factory, as long as you can sell it at a good price. By the way, a match factory can also be built. After all, it is a product for people's livelihood, and the market for domestic sales is large enough. At this time, like heavy industry, China's light industry was also extremely backward. Daily products such as matches, kerosene, and washbasins were basically monopolized by foreigners, known as "matches, foreign oils, and foreign basins" The road to revitalizing China is arduous. It’s a long way to go.
Of course, Zhang Hanqing hopes to have the opportunity to divert the trouble westward and sell it at a high price. Therefore, if there is any chance to sell Northeastern tobacco with the help of Cai E's connections, Zhang Hanqing will certainly try it.
"We can try this. My teacher Liang Qichao has some contacts with British and American officials in China, and he may be able to build a bridge. In addition, Fang Zhen may have some ideas. After all, he studied in Germany. If the Allies cannot reach an agreement, it will be the same with the Allies. , the German army needs it anyway." Cai E was a soldier after all, so he was decisive.
General Cai’s connections are indeed not limited. He soon contacted the ministers of France, Belgium and other countries in China through connections, allowing them to first enjoy the high-quality and low-priced tobacco from northern China. Zhang Hanqing even arranged negotiators through Zhang Zuolin, promising to supply coalition cigarettes, cut tobacco, pipes and pipes at more favorable prices.
During the three-month tug-of-war negotiations, Zhang Zuolin, who also had a keen business acumen, grabbed the cash cow handed over by Zhang Hanqing and used private capital to build a cigarette factory in Fengtian, which later became the largest cigarette factory in Northeast China and even China - Fengtian Cigarette Factory. , launched several brands one after another: "Zhonghua" for high-end people, "Great Wall" for the mass market, and "Shengli" for export to Europe.
During the three years from the end of 1915 to the end of the war in 1918, the Fengtian Cigarette Factory shipped a total of 30 million cigarettes, 2 million packs of cut tobacco, and as many as 40,000 pipes and tobacco pouches to Europe, making profits of up to one million A lot of silver dollars. Domestically, more than 10 million packs of cut tobacco and 10 million cigarettes flow into every corner of the country through various channels. The reason why the sales volume of cigarettes in foreign countries far exceeds that in China is because Chinese people are too poor to afford high-end products containing paper. However, the sales volume of shredded tobacco still shows that China's tobacco industry has great potential for development.
Of course, in the end, due to the embargo, the German soldiers did not enjoy the gifts from China, which is a pity. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)This situation is really because Chinese people are too poor to afford high-end products containing paper, but the sales volume of shredded tobacco still shows that China's tobacco industry has great potential for development.

Zhang Zuolin made a lot of money.
Although he was born a bandit, he also has a good way of doing business, otherwise his millions of net worth (this is Zhang Hanqing's rough calculation) would not have been obtained out of thin air. Zhang Hanqing revealed the business opportunity to him, and he immediately took action. Tobacco is plentiful in the Northeast; cigarettes and cut tobacco processing are also the fortes of people in this land. It only takes a few people and does not require strong industrial strength. What the major tobacco-producing provinces Fengtian and Rehe lack is sales volume. In just one month, a large-scale cigarette factory was built. When the first round of price negotiations concluded three months later, the first batch of 100,000 cigarettes was ready to leave the factory. This talent for doing business and his bold grasp of opportunities are very impressive.
Zhang Hanqing named this batch of cigarettes "Victory" brand, which means victory in the European War and a metaphor for his father's victory in improving his economic ability. By selling Fengtian's worthless tobacco from cabbage price to ginseng price, Zhang Zuolin was impressed by his level of connections.
China’s “Shengli” brand cigarettes have quickly gained the favor of officers and soldiers in war zones because of their strong strength and low price, and are known as “precious gifts.” Colin Wiedop, a Belgian soldier, left a message on the postcard: "In today's bad weather, tobacco is very popular. In the trenches, you will never find any remnants of cigarettes scattered on the ground, because they burn to Lips will not be thrown away before.”
Russia, which is also an Allied power, has easier access to such cigarettes. Similarly, their desire for "victory" exceeds the limits that people in peaceful areas can think of. Army reporter Datyana Arkadyevna Smelyanskaya (female) said in her memories: “I saw how a tobacco box flew into the swamp, causing a lot of yelling The soldiers I cherish ammunition very much, and I also cherish tobacco" Tobacco, cigarettes, flints or matches are really the only source of comfort for soldiers in the ruthless war.
Since then, tobacco has become an important part of revitalizing the Northeast economy and has continued to be promoted. Until the post-war period, cheap and high-quality Chinese cigarettes have always been the favorite of European people, and they have also provided a steady stream of help for the financial development of Northeast China. This is a story later.
Ever since Cai E agreed to provide connections for Zhang Hanqing’s tobacco plan, the relationship between uncle and nephew has entered a new realm. It is not enough to just be like-minded, but also to cooperate for mutual benefit. Cai E did this very well. He wanted to use his practical actions to strengthen Zhang Zuolin's confidence. How to contact the ministers of various European countries through various relationships, what are the transportation requirements, and the price, are all a headache.
But Zhang Hanqing is the one who solves big problems. He won't do those troublesome things. These are all done by Nai's dad. Do he have many business people? The road is paved. If you can't even do this Well, he will despise the King of Fengtian.
At this time, Zhang Hanqing had already thought of another thing. He said to General Cai a little awkwardly: "Uncle Shi, my nephew has something that has been hidden in his heart for a long time. I wonder if I can ask?"
Zhang Hanqing faced Lao Cai's temper, and with the idea of ????promoting the underachievers, Cai E waved his hand generously and said: "Of course."
"Is General Jiang Fangzhen really as powerful as the legend says?"
Cai E was stunned: "Uh"
Zhang Hanqing said: "I want to see Mr. Baili." He then smiled narrowly: "I don't know who is more powerful among the 'Three Masters of the Saber', Uncle Shi or General Jiang Fangzhen?"
This is a difficult problem, because there is much controversy in later generations about who is more powerful, Jiang Baili or Cai E.
In terms of military rank, before the war to protect the country against Yuan, Cai E had already been appointed as a general at the level of the Republic of China government; while Jiang Baili only had a lieutenant general until ten years later, and he was only a general after his death.
In terms of martial arts, Cai E has experienced hundreds of battles and has made numerous achievements. The Sichuan campaign he organized and commanded was methodical and decisive in terms of planning, organization and coordination, and implementation of command. Throughout the entire war to protect the country, It's a wonderful scene. Cai E's fame also became a household name after this battle, which was the pinnacle of his military career. Commander-in-chief Zhu De and Marshal Liu Bocheng in later generations were both junior generals under him at this time: Jiang Baili had never had the opportunity to personally lead troops in combat in his life, and he made great achievements in tactics.
In terms of strategy, this is Jiang Baili's strength, but this is probably due to his longevity compared to Cai E (although Jiang Baili only lived 56 years old in official history, he has accumulated more years and historical evolution than Cai E, who was 37 years old). Advantages, refer to Chiang's "On National Defense" ("On National Defense"), which was the founder of the famous "protracted war" of "exchanging space for time" and only roughly completed it in 1936. His contribution is probably due to his military disciples who are famous all over the world.
Cai E, on the other hand, learned war from war and summarized it. Regarding combat guidance, Cai E believed: "Strategy and tactics must be adapted to the times and conditions, and assess the situation.In order to achieve the goal, you must not be a little sluggish. If you don't understand the original intention and only try to imitate others, your momentum will be like a lame man walking in a race, rarely without stumbling. "Starting from this ideological principle, he neither fully affirmed Zeng and Hu's idea of ??"focusing on defense rather than offensive", nor was he influenced by the "extreme attack" ideas of Western military scientists at that time. Instead, he based on the Chinese army and military expenditure. , traffic and other conditions, he put forward a strategic idea to lure the enemy deeper. He said: "If China encounters other countries with military force within a few years, instead of making a desperate move, it is better to adopt Poya tactics (referring to guerrilla tactics). According to the danger, China To defend, to defend step by step, with the whole army and the old enemy divisions as the main ones, once they penetrate deeply and can no longer continue, they will be wiped out in one fell swoop. "From this point of view, Cai E's understanding of China's national conditions is quite sophisticated and unique, no less than that of Jiang Baili, or it is a supplement to Jiang Baili's later theories - after all, Jiang Baili provided China with the necessary guidance in the general direction. The argument for victory, while Cai E guided China on the difficult problem of how to win. The combination of the two was probably the main idea of ??Mao Zedong's "On Protracted War" and "On Guerrilla Warfare" later.
It’s really hard to answer the question of who is better between myself and Jiang Baili, and I have never made this comparison. He was in charge of the military of a province at a young age and was well versed in military theory, while Jiang Baili mostly made achievements in military theory and the cultivation of military talents. Strictly speaking, they are two major branches of military science. Cai E can be regarded as a military strategist, while Jiang Baili can only be said to be a military scientist.
Cai E is a gentleman. He would never say that he is stronger than Jiang Baili. After all, a person must be kind; but he is unwilling to say that he is weak, and he is afraid that Zhang Hanqing, who has little experience, will really think that he is slightly inferior. Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, we still have to fight for this face.
After thinking about it, Cai E said: "You and I, Uncle Jiang Shi, both graduated from the same department in Japan. We are from the same department. However, we later developed different professional fields and had different opportunities. How can we compare?" He smiled slightly. After calming down, he pointed at Zhang Hanqing's nose and said with a smile: "Hanqing, why did you think of asking such a strange question?"
Zhang Hanqing Surong replied: "The Fengtian army has always had problems such as low combat effectiveness and backward command capabilities. When Xueliang came, he discussed with his father about reopening the Fengtian Martial Arts School - now I think about it, it may have been done with great fanfare. The ground has just begun. However, Xueliang still has a doubt: in view of military training time and financial constraints, Xueliang is still debating whether to give priority to combat and command capabilities or political work. Training an elite soldier who has fought in hundreds of battles must be expensive; and political work Priority is given, then Fengtian can use the funds invested in education to meet the investment in political work, and the cost is relatively small. It is only unclear whether there are shortcomings in improving the combat effectiveness of the army. Needless to say, Jiang Shishu's attainments in strategic directions, at Baoding Army School There are also great achievements in teaching. Xueliang wants to ask this question personally."
Cai E nodded, smiled and said, "What does political work mean?"
Zhang Hanqing said embarrassedly: "This is a new word that my nephew came up with. Political education is to use political education methods to make officers and soldiers know why they are fighting. Xueliang also believes privately that the combat effectiveness of the army does not only lie in well-equipped, well-equipped, Well-trained, and the most important thing is morale. In addition, the political workers of the army must also change their strategies, integrate officers and soldiers, and integrate with the common people. Xueliang once had some experience of Uncle Shi's Poya tactics, and he used another word to describe it. In summary, it is a people's war. As long as it gains the support of the people, advancing can obtain a steady stream of logistical, material, and manpower support from the people, while retreating can integrate into the people and find protection. Xueliang believes that modern armies need a large number of such full-time personnel. Such personnel should be educated and thoughtful intellectuals, and the soldiers trained by such people will have spirit, energy and spirit."
Cai E stopped smiling. He stared at Zhang Hanqing for a long time and said slowly: "Is this question your father's idea or your own understanding?"
Zhang Hanqing Hao Ran said: "It's just Xueliang's own speculation."
Cai E said quietly: "Han Qing is 15 years old this year?"
Zhang Hanqing said: "I am already 15 years old."
Cai E suddenly took Zhang Hanqing's hand and said, "I am not alone. I will take you to meet Jiang Fangzhen now."
There is a reason why these words resonate with our General Cai. In addition to some new terms, Zhang Hanqing's insights combined the research results of Cai E and Jiang Baili for many years, and solved his doubts for many years. How could he not lose his temper? (Zhang Hanqing: Nonsense. The road to building and strengthening the army that is in line with Chinese characteristics has been proven by practice. How could it be wrong?)
At that time, there was an upsurge in the country to train a new army and reform the military system, and military training was regarded as the "first priority" to save the country. However, patriotic youths such as Cai E believe that martial arts requires not only swords but also spirit, and that resisting aggression requires not only guns and cannons, but also the soul of the country. It is proposed to carry out military education and military training for all people to improve the quality of the people. Zhang Hanqing's idea of ??political workers cultivating spirituality was exactly what he wanted.
And Zhang Hanqing’s idea of ??“officers and soldiers becoming one” was very popular with him. Cai E has also always advocated "harmony" between officers and soldiers, so that soldiers regard the military camp as a "second family." He especially admired Zeng Guofan's saying that "leading an army is like a father and a brother leading his children" and believed that if the leader "can have this intention, then all the ancient and modern maxims of leading troops can be burned into flames." Zhang Hanqing could have this kind of understanding at such a young age, and he couldn't help but be impressed.

Chapter 21 Meeting Jiang Baili for the first time
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away out in people's eyes, the Chiang family was a successful young man, and the Japanese Emperor Taisho's gift of a sword had already made him famous throughout the country. Because it is rumored that in the Japanese military academy, even if Jiang Baili did not take first place, the Japanese still could not get the sword from the emperor, because the second place at that time was Cai E. The outstanding achievements of three Chinese people in the Japanese military academy made the Chinese people who were oppressed by the Japanese feel proud when they mentioned this matter. As a result, the reputation of the "Three Heroes of Beiyang" became famous in China, especially in the military circles.
And Jiang’s background and experience are also typical of many elites in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. After returning to China, he was also active in the current situation. When he was the principal of Baoding Military Academy, he committed suicide with a gun, which added a lot of tragedy and made him admired by people at the time.
At this time, Jiang Baili had served as the first-class counselor in the Command Office of the Presidential Palace for more than two years. When Zhang Hanqing saw him, he was sipping tea elegantly. Several of his colleagues, some with gray hair or gray temples, were enjoying themselves reading newspapers or chatting privately.
The Command Office is theoretically equivalent to the modern Central Military Commission. However, in the early years of the Republic of China, the control of the military was in the hands of provincial generals, and the Office of the Presidential Palace could only be reduced to a think tank. It only has the right to make suggestions on military matters, and this right to make suggestions is only valid for the president - not even senior staff officers - the Beiyang government has a separate Army Staff Department with senior staff officers.
??In the early days of the Beiyang government, there were many wastes waiting to be revitalized, and the country was extremely short of financial and material resources. The government was unable to carry out Jiang Baili's military plan. At that time, whether it was Yuan Shikai or the important ministers of Beiyang, everyone was still considering purely tactical things, involving long-term strategic choices. It was not that they didn't want to, but that the conditions were insufficient. Jiang Baili, who was good at strategy, was not tolerated by the Beiyang officers who formed cliques.
The passionate Jiang Baili could only do things on paper. He organized a military research meeting with 11 people including Cai E and Yan Xishan to conduct in-depth research on various military academic issues. During this period, he continued to write to Yuan Shikai, offering suggestions for national defense and army construction, and expressing his strong desire to build a strong armed force.
But Lao Yuan did not regard him as a confidant. The reason why he was made the senior counselor was just because of his name. Of course, Lao Yuan still had "quite" respect for Jiang Baili on the surface: "You have a theory? Okay, okay, okay. The Army Ministry will study it carefully and submit a report. Oh, are you having difficulties? Then Fang Zhen, you We also know that our Republic of China has just been founded and is full of waste. These ideas are good, but we don’t have the money to do them for the time being. How about you study it first, and when the conditions are ripe, we will do it with great fanfare. It’s not that we won’t do it, It's not that your theory is not good, it's that the conditions are not met now. The conditions are not met. Whenever you have new ideas, come to me directly~ That Adjutant Hao, order the security department, Fang Zhen only needs to come, no matter how busy I am. Tell me directly."
So now Jiang Baili is bright on the outside, but only God knows, earth knows, he knows, and his good friend Cai E knows the depression inside.
Cai E is very familiar with the office. Zhang Hanqing wants to visit Jiang Baili. This is nothing. It can be seen that although Zhang Hanqing is young, he has an IQ that is not inferior to that of an adult. When asked about Fengtian's military and political affairs, he was able to answer in an orderly manner. I couldn't help but think to myself: "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog sons. It seems that Zhang Zuolin has put a lot of effort into his eldest son. It's okay, let Brother Fang Zhen do the military work." If you enlighten me and rebel against Yuan in the future, it might really become a big help."
To be honest, regarding Jiang Baili, Zhang Hanqing also knew his name from the pile of historical papers and his theoretical system of "exchanging space for time" against Japan, but that was all. It can be said that Zhang Hanqing has nearly a hundred years more historical knowledge than them. This theory related to "Protracted War" has been proven by facts, but it did not shock him as much as when it was first published.
What interests Zhang Hanqing is actually his identity as a military educator. He himself has a very high status in the military (not position or power), and among his students are Chen Mingshu, Tang Shengzhi, Fang Shengtao, Liu Wendao, Zhang Zhizhong, Chen Cheng, etc. who have become generals of the "National Government" in history. He also educated Jiang Ying, the daughter of a famous singer, and his son-in-law Qian Xuesen, a martial arts expert who would be well-known in the future New China. He also had a nephew Jin Yong (friends in the martial arts world will know this) and a relative Xu Zhimo (this famous Needless to say). Regardless of his subsequent contribution to China's military history, he himself is a legend.
With his melancholy eyes and thin and handsome face, he can be regarded as the "idol of middle-aged and elderly women". This was Zhang Hanqing's first impression of him.
Cai E is an old friend of Jiang Baili. They are so familiar with each other that there is no need for any politeness. But he still introduced Zhang Hanqing to Jiang Baili in a grand manner and said: "Brother Fang Zhen, let me introduce you to a young friend. He is quite insightful in terms of military science."
Everyone was shocked.
"It must be quite remarkable to be called insightful by the world-renowned General Cai,"?I know that Cai E has a point of view and never gives in due to feelings. He said that if this young man could do it, he must have two brushes.
Zhang Hanqing calmly saluted Jiang Baili, who was also famous all over the world: "Uncle Cai Shi praised me, and my nephew did not dare to accept it. Xueliang has met Mr. Jiang." What he respected was not his position or his erudition, but his dedication. The ambition and enthusiasm for China’s rise.
Jiang Baili looked at Zhang Hanqing, who looked childish, and felt extraordinary surprise in his heart. He had enough confidence in Cai E and was also very interested in Cai E's military views. After all, this was his specialty and he had been immersed in it. However, he so solemnly recommended a young semi to him. For older children, this is a bit exaggerated. Military science is a very complicated subject. I have been immersed in it for half my life and I can only get a glimpse of it. How can this young man with a childish face have any shocking views? From the looks of it, he probably hasn't even held a gun!
But with Cai E’s face, he could only praise the underachievers and said with a smile: "Oh, underachievers are scary, but I need to take a good test - Xueliang, what is your name?"
Zhang Hanqing made a respectful gesture: "My nephew is called Hanqing."
Jiang Baili nodded and said, "What books does Han Qing usually read?"
Zhang Hanqing felt a chill in his heart. This was a typical expression of care for the students at school. However, considering his status as the former principal of a military academy, this instinctive reaction is normal. After thinking for a while, he said: "My nephew was fortunate enough to study under Jin Xihou, a great scholar in Fengtian, for several years. He usually dabbles in politics, economics, diplomacy, and military based on his interest. I originally wanted to enter Fengtian Lecture Hall to study systematically this year. In the military field, my father wanted my nephew to come to Beijing to see the world, and he is currently studying at Peking University."
Peking University, hehe, Jiang Baili can only hehe. At this time, Peking University was definitely not as famous as it would be in later generations. Basically, in the minds of the aspiring people at that time, it was a place where high-level students were gold-plated. Those who are truly capable can either go abroad, go to Tsinghua University, or join the army and make a career in the military academy. In times of war and chaos, those who are able to devote themselves to studying and learning are indeed worthy of respect, but there will not be too many of them.
"Have you missed the mark? A fifteen or sixteen-year-old kid knows a lot about military affairs, and he boasts about how involved he is? This must be someone's son who wants to come to Beijing to build his reputation. Songpo is just a human being who can't bear the shame of coming to help. It's normal. I don't dare to say that I understand the economy; but as for the military, if I say I know a little bit about others, I can only say that I have dabbled in it. As for politics and diplomacy, it is really a big project. Which one of them doesn't affect the whole body? I guess it affects the whole body. That is to say, the adults in the family chatting about some stories are overheard by the children, and the children take it for granted and listen and think about it based on their interest. It is possible that they may have some strange ideas.
Using his own military strengths to test the juniors, Jiang Baili would not be so boring and just playing the piano to others. But when it comes to talking about military and national affairs, the domestic political climate is not very healthy right now, so Jiang Baili doesn't dare to ask random questions - he is afraid that Zhang Hanqing will say nonsense. Since it is determined that Zhang Hanqing is a descendant of a certain family of Cai E, he must be a person with a certain status. The children may have overheard their private discussions about the current situation. If they are quick-tongued and do not have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and are accidentally pulled out of the conversation, are they not harming their parents?
So he simply used what happened abroad as an example. The only thing in the world that can attract attention now is the world war that is going on vigorously, so he asked: "I wonder how much Han Qing knows about the current wars in European countries?"
This is a big topic, it can be expanded or contracted, but it also allows Zhang Hanqing to express himself freely. If you don't know, it's a different matter, but if you know that even if you can name the various countries at war, with Jiang Baili's shrewdness, you can naturally praise him and then perfectly close the palace.
Most of the people in the command office were veterans with some reputation and status in the Beiyang military circles, and they didn't have much specific work to do. When they saw Jiang Baili's children taking the exams, they all put down what they were doing with a smile and listened to Jiang Baili's views on the international current situation - ——According to tradition, don’t those who are teachers have to criticize? With Jiang Baili's level, it is certainly rare to have the opportunity to listen to his analysis of the world war situation. If there is a military seminar in the future, everyone can broaden their horizons in advance, right?
Zhang Hanqing was overjoyed, here we come!
"Almost any student who has received the nine-year compulsory education system in later generations, as long as he is not a scumbag, should clearly and clearly make the most accurate comments on the First World War. After all, there are textbook answers. For an angry young man like Zhang Hanqing, commenting on the First World War is really child's play. He can even go up to five thousand years, oh no, more, up to one thousand years. World War I, a war that took place a hundred years ago, has been clearly unearthed. Don’t doubt the IQ of those who have experienced it. Hindsight is both a derogatory and a affirmative. Zhang Hanqing's first thought was not to make too accurate predictions, lest he appear too awesome!
"The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was the beginning of the European War, but without this incident, this war in Europe would definitely break out. According to my judgment, now is just the beginning, and a larger war is still to come. If we don't fight it, They will not stop even if their heads are bleeding and their vitality is severely damaged. I think Uncle Shi's test of the younger nephew means the attitude that China should maintain and whether it can find opportunities that are beneficial to China?" According to history, Zhang Hanqing is confident. Full.

Jiang Baili once studied in Germany, and he is a master of modern Chinese military research. Therefore, his attention to such major events in Europe is no worse than anyone of his generation in China. Because he was in a high position and was in a military center, he had a lot of time and resources to learn about the European War. Although Zhang Hanqing's remarks had the experience of later generations, they could not move him.
It’s just that most of the current figures in the Chinese military group came from the late Qing Dynasty. Many of them are illiterate. If you want them to pay attention to this war thousands of miles away, the requirements for them are undoubtedly too high. At such a young age, Zhang Hanqing knew the beginning and the end and looked for opportunities. This knowledge was already quite good.
"Well, tell me, why is the European War inevitable?" Jiang Baili indeed had a competitive mentality. He was not only the most famous military strategist in modern China, but also a famous educator. In order to make the atmosphere more harmonious, he even took the initiative to pull up a chair.
"Speaking of this, we have to go back a hundred years ago." Zhang Hanqing was very interested in finally being able to use his talents. Knowing that this was going to be a sea blow, when Jiang Baili motioned for him to sit down, he unceremoniously climbed onto a chair and continued to foam at the mouth.
"Ever since Germany had a genius named Bismarck who brought the Prussian states together, its rise has been inevitable. Especially after defeating France, which boasted itself as Europe's big brother, in the Franco-Prussian War, Germany was at the heart of Europe. Its rise It broke the European balance. With the unification of Germany and the development of science and technology, Germany's economy has also grown exponentially. The emerging Junkers aristocratic group urgently needs to open overseas markets. At this time, the world has been divided up by major countries. In this way Since then, the maritime hegemon Britain has become Germany's biggest stumbling block. German Foreign Minister Pilov once clamored to use Germany's sword to gain benefits for Germany. The iron-blood policy has caused many conflicts between Germany and Britain.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. In order to contain Germany, Britain and France could only unite. France, which had been injured, was in great need of a powerful land alliance to avoid the risk of being destroyed by Germany. It also attracted Russia, which was very dependent on itself economically, to form an Allied alliance.
Germany wanted to challenge France but faced the threat of a two-front war between France and Russia, so it enlisted the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which had the same language and race and important interests in the Balkans, as an alliance. At this point, the alliance of major nations at war in Europe was formally formed. The long-term hostility has made nationalism more and more fanatical among countries. This war is bound to break out, and it will not stop until the fight is bloody and the winner is determined. Uncle Shi has studied in Germany and should know that there is a joke in Western society that the British laugh at the French, the French look down on the Germans, and the Germans sneer at the British, but everyone unanimously looks down on the Russians and Italians. Haha, there is no way, who can make both parties hold back their energy. The bipolar pattern is accelerating, and the two major groups can only take risks to save the situation. Therefore, I say that the Archduke Ferdinand incident was just a primer. Without the Sarajevo incident, other things would still have happened. "
Jiang Baili was amazed, not because Zhang Hanqing's analysis was so profound. He has studied the causes and consequences of this war very thoroughly. However, at a young age, Zhang Hanqing knew that looking at issues from an international strategic perspective was not simple.
"Then what do you think China should do best?" Jiang Baili originally just had a support mentality, but now he is really interested. What he asked is exactly what is currently being discussed intensely within the top leadership of the Republic of China government.
"My nephew believes that the most beneficial thing for China is to join the winner. As long as the team is correct, China, as the most victorious country in the end, can at least take back some of the interests controlled by the great powers and score a lot in diplomacy. Not participating in the war and It is not advisable to stand in the wrong team." Zhang Hanqing said naturally based on history.
Jiang Baili smiled and said: "This is a fact that everyone with a discerning eye knows, but how to stand on the side is worthy of careful discussion. If the judgment is wrong, it will put China into a situation of no return."
Zhang Hanqing is confident: "Modern war is a competition of comprehensive national strength, and the war is about the economy. Judging from this point, the alliance of Britain, France and Russia will win. Not to mention their own heritage of hundreds of years, they have colonies all over the world, which is enough to support them. They were about to fight a protracted war. Although Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire seemed strong, once the war entered a stalemate, their weaknesses were undoubtedly exposed.
As for why my nephew thinks this will be a protracted war, Cai Shishu and Jiang Shishu are both nationally famous military strategists. It should be known that with the current cutting-edge technology of the world's military development, there should be no weapon that can break through the layers of heavy troops, artillery and machine guns. Resistance positional warfare, right? Currently on the Western Front, the British and French allied forces are holding their positions and have dragged the German army into a war of attrition. On the Eastern Front, Russia's long national border has put the German army's logistics in a difficult situation.A lot of pressure. Britain, France, and Russia are all world-class powers, and a single defeat in one battle will not shake the country's foundation. Taking a step back, even if Germany defeated France on land, its naval power is far from being a match for Britain in order to break through the existing international dilemma. Therefore, the German army will definitely fall into a long-term combat dilemma, and this Exactly what the Allies wanted.
This war will determine the national destiny of both sides, so there is no possibility of giving up until the end of the war. And with the size of Germany and Austria, if they were crippled and defeated, the Allies would also be devastated. This is of great significance to whether China can take advantage of the situation after the war and reduce the oppression they impose on us. Therefore, my nephew believes that China should not only join, but also join quickly, and join the Allied Powers. "
Liang Shiyi had foreseen the benefits of China's participation in the war as early as the beginning of the war. He said to Yuan Shikai: "Germany and Austria are a small enemy, and the result of the war will be difficult to defeat. In my opinion, it is better to declare war on Germany and sever diplomatic relations. It will be of great benefit to the country's future to gain a position in the peace talks in the future." After being forced to sign the Twenty-One, Yuan asked Lu Zhengxiang what remedies he had, and Lu replied: "The only way is to join the war, and then propose it at the peace conference, and ask all countries to modify it."
Zhang Hanqing’s words coincide with the opinions of central think tanks such as Lu Zhengxiang and Liang Shiyi, and they are well-founded. The results analyzed from another perspective are not simple. Jiang Baili was already moved, but still wanted to give him a try: "According to what you said, China chose to participate in the war. But we are far inferior to them in terms of national strength and military power. Our participation in the war can only be a slogan, and it has no effect. Not much. Do you think that even if we win, we will get the benefits we deserve after the war?"
This is how powerful the legendary military strategist is! Although there were still four years left before the Paris Peace Conference, Jiang Baili considered the strength of the Chinese army to be unable to influence the situation after the end of the war, so he was skeptical about the significance or benefits of China's participation in the war. This is commendable.
But what he met was Zhang Hanqing, a master who could know what will happen a hundred years from now: "Uncle Shi's worries are very reasonable. China will indeed not be able to gain much say by then. But Uncle Shi can think about it. We have moral principles." advantage. If someone does not consider this and still wants to exclude China from the interest division negotiation table, or even infringes on China's interests, it will inevitably arouse the anger of our people. Through one incident, the people's wisdom will be opened and the people will open their eyes. The world itself is a huge victory.
And after all, Germany and Austria are a major power in the world. Even if they fail, the winning side will be exhausted and severely damaged. During this period, if we can concentrate on developing the economy and raise our national strength to a large level, who stipulates that the principle of 'white supremacy' will not be overturned after the trade-offs? You know that a rifle can be powerful in anyone's hands! "
Jiang Baili nodded and praised, being able to judge the situation, seize the situation, know your enemy, know yourself and know how to be patient, this is the wise way to govern the country and the army. Until now, he has not asked Zhang Hanqing's identity - but since he calls Cai E his uncle, he must be the son of a veteran general in the army. The children of the aristocratic family have heard and heard it, and some of their military theoretical ideas are quite normal. Cai E didn't introduce his life experience, so he didn't take the initiative to ask - if he knew that he was the nephew of a certain important official, and his words were really insightful, it would be a sign of flattery to praise him. . Instead, everyone ignored the matter and only talked about it to show their sincerity. Needless to say, the military educator's ideas are so thoughtful.
This kid is extraordinary! This vision and analysis of the nature of the problem are enough. However, in addition to being able to see the big picture, you also need to have a down-to-earth thinking. In just a moment, Jiang Baili asked enthusiastically: "How do you think our country's military construction should proceed? Just joking."
As the topic turned from foreign countries to domestic affairs, Jiang Baili wanted to see if the young man in front of him could not only take a broad view of the world, but also calm down and study China's current shortcomings in the military field. Of course, I don't dare to expect whether it can be used as a medicine, but if there are any merits, Jiang Baili, as an educator, is very willing to train new talents. He has many students all over the world, but not many disciples. Zhang Hanqing's performance is very satisfying to him, if this good impression can continue to be maintained.
What opinions can Zhang Hanqing have? At this time, Sino-Japanese relations were not as bad as before the July 7th Incident, and the whole country did not have the preparation, strength, and atmosphere to go to war with Japan. More importantly, Jiang Baili's "On National Defense" would not be released until 21 years later.
Talking about strategy? Although he has the advantage of time travel, he lacks theoretical foundation. He can't always use the prophet's explanation to talk about how something must be; talk about military affairs? Saorui, I only received two weeks of military training when I entered college, and I even touched a real gun (without ammunition) once, okay? Even though he had the advantage of knowledge, he was not at all mentally prepared to try to outdo the great military scientist in front of him.
Zhang Hanqing said matter-of-factly: "It would be ridiculous to talk about military development in front of Mr. Fang Zhen. Xueliang just has some personal thoughts on the current situation of the Chinese army. Please correct me." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel. .com)??I have some personal thoughts on the current situation of the Chinese military, and I would like to ask you to correct me.

Chapter 23 The Spirit of Bright Sword

"Xue Liang heard that Mr. Fang Zhen had established a 'Military Research Association' and had a very in-depth discussion on national defense construction and army building. This move cannot be said to be without benefit, but I think China's current military research has gone astray. "
This is what he says from the bottom of his heart, but sometimes sincere words can both impress and hurt people.
"Military strategic research is Jiang Baili's proud major and interest, and it has also brought him considerable popularity, but being talked about by a child with a yellow mouth makes him unhappy, of course." Jiang Baili was a proud man at heart, otherwise he would not have committed suicide while serving as the principal of Baoding Military Academy. Those who commit suicide are often the proudest. Cowards do not dare and do not deserve to commit suicide.
Of course, with Jiang Baili's self-cultivation, he would not change his expression upon hearing this. He just stared at Zhang Hanqing strangely and said slowly: "Oh, there is something new. I would like to hear the details."
“It’s a misunderstanding, not the military research itself, but the timing is wrong and the wrong direction was chosen.” Zhang Hanqing ignored Jiang Baili’s aggressiveness. It's a joke. I'm just telling the truth. It depends on how you argue.
"The current military situation in China, my husband and my uncle are both top military talents, needless to say. We all know that the gap between us and the Western powers or Japanese devils is not a day or two. But where is the difference?
Is it a strategy? You must know that China has a civilization of five thousand years, and the works of Chinese military strategists of all ages are like a pile of books. Even now, China still has many top military scientists, including Mr. Jiang and Cai Shishu.
Is it the number of people? China has the largest population. Whenever possible, China can arm hundreds of divisions at any time!
But why does China still have to endure bullying from foreign powers? Not long ago, the first unequal treaty since the Republic of China was signed under the force of Japan! Why?
It’s very simple, but the strength is not as good as human beings.
The word "strength" is not the sum of the number of people in the brochure. It compares the comprehensive strength of a country, not the existing military capabilities. The so-called comprehensive strength, Xueliang believes, is the overall strength of a country, including the integration of political, military, economic, organizational, industrial, etc. capabilities. In modern warfare, the competition is about logistics and equipment. Of course, will is also indispensable. But we lack these two things. The officers and soldiers are fighting for unknown reasons, the military has various factions, the military industry is basically zero, and all weapons are purchased.
Both Cai Shishu and his husband wanted to build a new army modeled after Germany, but there was no progress for many years. Shu Xueliang said frankly that in the current center, there has been no support. It's not that everyone in the center can't see it, but the situation doesn't allow it.
Mr. Chiang’s army-building theory of learning from Germany is very correct, but we just can’t reach the level of Germany. Because China is so poor that it cannot afford the salaries of its soldiers, and its divisions can only be equipped with artillery battalions, while the standard German division is an artillery regiment. As far as this is concerned, China’s current level of development cannot be reached within ten years.
Even though we have exhausted our national strength and are equipped with the same armaments as Germany, in such a large country with so many places to defend, as long as the enemy has sufficient mobility, we can face the dilemma of insufficient troops in any direction. Because our equipment cannot be transported to the place where it is most needed in the shortest time! This is the impact of backward transportation capabilities on the military.
Weapons will always wear out, they will always need maintenance and repairs, and ammunition will always be consumed. Can we maintain strong military investment? Does the financial situation allow it? Can industrial capacity keep up? For a country as big as ours, we cannot always rely on buying weapons, but what is our plan?
"Military is the continuation of politics." Putting aside politics, talking about military affairs is just talking about military affairs on paper. Army-building plans must match the country's conditions. Therefore, Xueliang said that Uncle Shi and the gentlemen's military research direction had gone astray. "
Jiang Baili and Cai E nodded after hearing this. It's nothing. If you don't even understand this at their level, it's an insult to people's intelligence. Several other "students" in the office also smiled kindly and watched Zhang Hanqing's boastful remarks. It is quite good for a half-grown doll to have such thinking ability. Chinese people have a tradition of being good teachers, and as the office of the country's top research institution, it also has a certain demeanor of encouraging the underachievers, so no one interrupted him.
Jiang Baili smiled and asked, "Does Han Qing have any solution?"
"Yes!" This is what Zhang Hanqing was waiting for.
"China currently lacks the spirit of conspiracy. The so-called conspiracy is to use developed industry, agriculture, transportation and economic power to support China's national defense industry, so Xueliang thought of the term 'industry to save the country'. Although it is a cliché, it is But it is the only way to talk about military development. With strong industrial guarantee, military equipment can be improved and the combat power of officers and soldiers can be qualitatively improved. At that timeWhen we talk about national defense construction, it is strategic. The current planning can only be regarded as tactical in nature, and cannot be said to be strategic. "
Jiang Baili remained calm and continued to ask: "Then do you think that as long as the level of armaments is improved, the combat effectiveness of the army will increase?"
Zhang Hanqing smiled proudly and said: "Of course not. The issue of military construction is mentioned here again. I just said that the contest of willpower is also an important part of modern warfare. The so-called willpower, from a national level, is the soul of the country. .With this thing, we can unite the hearts of the nation and have courage when war comes. Sometimes this courage may end a war; from a military perspective, it is the soul of an army. No matter how good it is Weapons are controlled by the soldiers who master them, and the quality of the soldiers determines the power of the weapons."
Cai E was deeply touched by this. He once asserted: "If we don't use the military and national principles to popularize righteousness among the 400 million people living today, China will really perish. If we want to build a military and a people, we must first cultivate the soul of the country." As for the specific content of the "national soul", Cai E has been unable to answer although he has been thinking hard. He turned his face and asked Zhang Hanqing: "What does Hanqing think is the national soul of China?"
Jiang Baili also found it interesting. He also restrained his smile and no longer had the thought of looking down upon Zhang Hanqing because of his age: "What does Han Qing think is the soul of China's military?"
The two of them asked questions at the same time. Coincidentally, one asked about the soul of the army and the other asked about the soul of the country. They spoke together and stopped speaking together, as if they were well-trained. The two old friends looked at each other and smiled at their tacit understanding.
Zhang Hanqing said calmly: "Modern China lacks these two things. The lack of national soul means that there is no courage to aspire to become a great power, there is no spirit to gather the scattered people, and there is no way to make the desperate Chinese people feel hope. And to gather strength for this. The lack of military spirit is the courage of soldiers to face death in any situation, the confidence to win, and most importantly, the army must know who to fight for."
Cai E laughed, and the concept of "military soul" that had troubled him for many years was shattered by the words of the young boy in front of him.
Jiang Baili also smiled, yes, what could be a more inspiring national spirit than the upright establishment of a great nation’s self-confidence, self-improvement, and self-pride? He couldn't believe that these words were spoken by the young man in front of him; he asked Zhang Hanqing with expectation but not confidence: "What do you think, how to forge China's national soul and military soul at this stage?"
They have been thinking about this issue for a long time and have many plans. Now, he wanted to hear, since this young man hit the nail on the head, would he have any novel ideas?
Zhang Hanqing said without hesitation: "Show the spirit of the sword! For soldiers, if they meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. If a soldier is not afraid of death, he will be invincible; for the country, use the spirit of not being afraid of death to build a new era and make an unprecedented achievement." Great change is the only way to resurrect a country and regain its standing among world powers, and it is especially suitable for China at this stage."
"Show your sword spirit!" The two people's eyes lit up, and the hearts of everyone in the room were also greatly shocked. What kind of mind should one have to have such insight? For the first time, Jiang Baili admired someone from the bottom of his heart, and he was still a little-known young man. Zhang Hanqing is elegant and gentle, but he still talks calmly and calmly in front of the world's great figures like himself, showing a maturity and wisdom that is asymmetrical for his age. At first glance, he is a well-educated son of aristocratic family. Is there anyone in the country who can teach such young people? Why is such an important talent of the country not recommended to serve the country in this troubled time? With respect and joy, he said happily: "Han Qing's family background makes him a rising star in the military! I don't know who his father was, but Jiang never expected that there would be someone with such insight into current affairs in this world." !”
Zhang Hanqing smiled Hao Ran, I really don’t dare to take credit for this. If you want to find someone, just ask Li Yunlong. He said politely: "My father is Zhang Zuolin, whose courtesy name is Yuting."
"Are you Zhang Zuolin's son?" Jiang Baili suddenly stopped. Zhang Hanqing suddenly thought of a public case and shouted, "It's not good."
Still four years ago in 1911, Jiang Baili was promoted by Liang Bi, his fellow non-commissioned officer, and took up the post of commander of the Forbidden Army in Fengtian Province. Later, he was transferred to Zhao Erxun to take up his previous post. In this post, he and Zhang Zuolin were officials in the same dynasty. However, he was young and successful at the time and graduated from a Japanese university. Of course he looked down on Zhang Zuolin, who had made a fortune, and the two got along very unpleasantly. When the Revolution of 1911 began and the Northeast was in chaos, Zhang Zuolin, who had already emerged, took the opportunity to kill him.
As a last resort, he fled from the northeast. Zhang Zuolin hated him and sent people to chase him to the train. Jiang was in emergency, so the staff on the train opened the restroom for him to use and locked it from the outside (originally, the train would not allow people to use the restroom before departure, which is consistent with modern practice), so he was spared. Because of this incident, Jiang Baili did not give Zhang Zuolin any shoes in history. In official history, Jiang Baili served as Wu Peifu's chief of staff during the second Zhili-Fengtian War and advocated fighting Zhang Zuolin.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other, and the enemy's son is no exception. Jiang Baili's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, and his tone became angry: "It turns out that he is the son of an old friend! I have been looking at each other with admiration for three days since I left. Zhang Zuolin, a mountain lord, actually gave birth to a son like you. What a trick of fate. Now."

These words are a bit rude, and they are nothing more than mocking Zhang Zuolin's background as a bandit, but Jiang Baili is not easy to point out directly in front of the younger generation, as that would be a bit too much, and it would make people feel cold. However, between the words and expressions, some disdain still appeared on the page.
Zhang Hanqing learned about this dispute from history books. It cannot be avoided and still needs to be resolved. Jiang Baili is an outstanding talent who will implement Zhang Hanqing's future army-building strategy. If he can be taken under his command, it will be a great help. He cupped his hands and said: "Uncle Shi and my father were a little bit dirty at first, and even fought against each other. My father later talked to Xueliang many times, and he deeply regretted it. It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. Uncle Shi's talent is also deeply appreciated by my father. Deeply admired. He often said, 'Although he may be overqualified and underqualified, I still hope that Brother Fang Zhen can come to Fengtian to help me regardless of his past grudges. He must be the one who can organize the army and practice martial arts.'"
The above innocent feelings are nonsense, and it is unreasonable for Zhang Zuolin to regret it. But this innocent confession at least showed Zhang Zuolin's magnanimity. He, Jiang Baili, could not help but express his feelings when carrying people in a fancy sedan chair, right? Jiang Baili snorted and said lightly: "I don't dare to take it seriously. Although Baili is not talented, he is still a first-class counselor in the President's Office, and he can still make achievements in the country and the army. He is only a mere twenty in the army. How can the Seventh Division be of use to Jiang?"
Zhang Hanqing knew that it would be difficult to recruit such talents with an unexpected invitation, and Fengtian did not have the current conditions, but he still wanted to try: "Uncle Shi, although Fengtian only has the strength of one division, my father is determined to make major reforms. Building a martial arts hall, preparing an arsenal, separating the military and police, and reorganizing the new army have all been put on the agenda. My husband used to be the principal of the Baoding Military Academy. He has countless talents under his command and is full of strategies. Fengcai is the big stage for you to show off."
Of the above things, only the reconstruction of the martial arts hall is what is about to be done, and the other three are still in the infancy of Zhang Hanqing. Zhang Hanqing wanted to use his sharp tongue to persuade this military strategist who had not been out for decades.
Jiang Baili stayed in the Central Committee for three years. He usually did a lot of things on paper such as strengthening the country and the army. He was not moved at all. He just said quietly: "Baili devoted his life to the prosperity of the country. How can he learn all he has learned?" Can it be used for public and private use?”
From the perspective of an experienced person, Zhang Hanqing would naturally not identify with the country of this era. He said in a pitiful tone: "The country is prosperous? With the current situation, does Mr. Fang Zhen think it can be achieved? In troubled times, heavy medicine must be used. Central Committee, who has the courage to lead China to carry out a transformation that will enrich the country and strengthen the people? With the weight of generals from all over the country, who has the courage to truly unify the military order and the army? No matter how the political system is changed, no one has come up with a solution.
It’s not the case with Fengtian. There are coal, iron and resources, vast land and dense forests, which can be developed. Military and political orders have few constraints, and they are not like the chaos in the pass. Once there is an opportunity, it will be the time for the uncles to show their talents. A small corner of Northeast China's development will surely drive and support national construction. If the Northeast Army can be built according to the ideas of Uncle Shi and others, it will definitely become a powerful weapon for the country. In a word, there is a lot of waste waiting to be revitalized in Fengtian, and there is a lot of room for uncle Shi to use it. "
Jiang Baili allowed him to be clever and unmoved at all. Chaos has emerged in the world, and it is not a good idea to make any hasty decisions. However, he still praised Zhang Hanqing for having such insights at such a young age: "It is also a blessing for the country that you have such insights. But I have pledged myself to the country, so there is no need to talk about this matter anymore."
Zhang Hanqing had no choice but to suppress his disappointment, bowed his hands and said, "Since Uncle Shi has made up his mind, Xueliang will not force others to do anything. But a big change is coming, so Uncle Shi and Uncle Cai should take care of their useful bodies. When we meet in the mountains and rivers, we will see you later. I only hope that I will have the opportunity to guide the country with Uncle Shi and others in the future."
Jiang Baili said calmly: "Since you have this kind of knowledge, the help I can give you is limited, so it doesn't mean much for you and me to meet. Let's say goodbye."
"Although I have my heart set on the bright moon, the bright moon shines on the ditch." Zhang Hanqing was defeated in the first round and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
However, these words greatly interested a middle-aged man with a generous cheek. He interrupted and said: "Han Qing, can you explain the arsenal in detail? How is my father preparing for it?"
The Shenyang Arsenal was an important foundation for Fengjun to gain a foothold in the Kanto region and become one of the three factions of Beiyang warlords. It was also Zhang Zuolin’s proud work. This was later known as the first of China's four major arsenals and the only ordnance factory that could manufacture cannons before the Anti-Japanese War in China. It is still under preparation. However, Zhang Hanqing would not say so. He enthusiastically outlined the preparations for the future Shenyang Arsenal: "My father is deeply aware of the reality that most of our country's armaments are imported from various countries. Weapon systems are like a kaleidoscope, which causes huge difficulties in training, logistics, and maintenance." , and are not suitable for large-scale use in the future. Therefore, it was decided to prepare for the Shenyang Arsenal. The rifles will be reorganized first, and the 27th Division will uniformly replace the weapons. Subsequently, the machine tools will be carried out.Trial production of guns, field guns and anti-tank guns. In the early stage, we will imitate the 75mm field gun learned from the German Krupp. The mid-term goal is to have the equipment of the division artillery regiment in place. The long-term plan is to develop larger caliber cannons to set a benchmark for the standardization and modernization of military equipment. . "
This is a fact. At the beginning of the Republic of China, all regular Beiyang troops were trained under Germany, and the divisions had artillery regiments under their jurisdiction. However, due to limited conditions, many backbone troops are only equipped with artillery battalions - which is still a good thing. More troops only have two or three small cannons for appearance, and the artillery regiments (battalions) are just empty frames.
Not to mention the wide variety of light weapons. In official history, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, during the Korean War, the backward Hanyang-made rifles faced off against the fully modernized U.S. military. Comparing the equipment of the Beiyang armies with those of European and American powers, they can only be regarded as miscellaneous armies at best.
In fact, all knowledgeable people in China have already prepared for this. Ever since Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, built the Hanyang Arsenal, the Chinese military has had an extraordinary obsession with being able to independently manufacture heavy weapons. After Yuan Shikai became president in 1912, in view of the fact that each province's ordnance manufacturing industry was doing its own thing, he established the "Ordnance Factory Command Office" in Beijing, with Admiral Sa Zhenbing as the supervisor and Army Lieutenant General Jiang Tingzi as the director of the supervision office. It was planned to build a bank to produce After investigation, it was decided that the new factory to be built in Xiaoyi Town, Gong County, Henan Province would be the Gong County Arsenal. If it had not been for the subsequent changes in the regime, the large-scale popularization of standardized weapons in the Chinese military would not have been a fairy tale.
Everyone present was surprised to hear that Zhang Zuolin from Fengtian had such a plan, especially the middle-aged man who asked: "Building an arsenal requires a lot of equipment and huge funds to back it up. Fengtian has such power to support it. Is this a situation?”
Zhang Hanqing laughed: "You can't become fat by eating one bite, right? Thinking about many things is one thing, doing them is another. However, all matters in Fengtian are being carefully planned. With the improvement of Fengtian's finances, the work on the arsenal has also begun. The investment will become larger and larger. Compared with worrying about the lack of financial strength, my father is more worried about the lack of military personnel, and this is what needs to be solved in the short term."
He smiled slightly at the middle-aged man: "Your Excellency is so concerned about the arsenal. I wonder if you can make some contribution to the preparation of the Shenyang arsenal?"
Cai E also smiled slightly and said, "Han Qing asked the right person this time." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

After getting along for a short time, Zhang Hanqing also knew that Cai E was not an innocent target. Since he said so, the person facing him must be an expert in military industry. Surprised and delighted, Zhang Hanqing took the man's hand and said hurriedly: "My father is very thirsty for talents. If I can get a recommendation from you, I would be extremely grateful. But I would like to ask, who are you?"
The middle-aged man smiled honestly and said, "Han Linchun."
Zhang Hanqing was instantly overjoyed: "Are you Han Linchun? I have found you!"
"If Zhang Hanqing hadn't been familiar with the history of Fengjun, he wouldn't have been so gaffe-like. Because of this person, he played a great role in the history of the Fengjun family: this mainland general who graduated from the Artillery Department of the Japanese Military Academy, graduated in 1908 and returned to China to serve as a staff member of the Ordnance Department of the Army Department of the Qing government, and was later promoted to the director of the Ordnance Department. He was promoted from director to dean of the Army Lecture Hall and other positions. He served as counselor of the Department of the Army and military attaché in the United States. The experience can be described as varied.
After joining the Feng clan, he soon ranked first among the five tiger generals of the Feng army. History said that he was resourceful and not strict with trivial matters. He was very loyal to Zhang Zuolin and once flatly refused Wu Peifu's temptation to appoint him as General Linwei of the General Office and the rank of Army General during the Zhili-Fengtian War. Zhang Zuolin also had great trust in him and was one of the few people in the Fengtian clique who could serve as a high-ranking official. One of the important generals of the independent unified army, when Zhang Zuolin entered Beijing to establish the Anguo military government in history, he served as the commander of the Army's Fourth Front Army and the president of Army University.
His military attainments are extraordinary, but the key is that his attainments in military science are also amazing: when he served in the Army Department of the Beiyang Warlord Government, he was awarded the Medal of the Throne for his meritorious service in inventing the "Han Linchun-style" rifle, and was promoted to the Military Counselor. counselor. After the Zhili-Fengtian War in official history in 1922, Han joined the Fengjun Army and was reused by Zhang Zuolin. He was appointed as the General Office of the Ordnance Factory of the Three Eastern Provinces (the supervising director was Yang Yuting), taking control of the planning and management of the factory. Under his management, the factory can produce more than 150 cannons, more than 200,000 artillery shells, more than 60,000 rifles, more than 600,000 rounds of ammunition, more than 1,000 machine guns, and a lot of mortars every year. The scale and production capacity of the factory rank first in the country. Han Linchun should be the first to contribute to the Shenyang Arsenal's status.
Needless to say, Han Linchun's ability is first-rate, and in some aspects he is irreplaceable. Not even Jiang Baili can replace him - Zhang Hanqing tried his best to win over Jiang Baili because he did not have the energy to do some strategic planning. , Jiang Baili is strong in this regard, but he is by no means irreplaceable. Han Linchun may not have made any achievements in strategy, but he has reached the pinnacle in specific matters, which Zhang Hanqing knew he could not do.
However, Zhang Hanqing's enthusiasm still surprised Han Linchun. Even our General Cai didn't understand why Han Linchun, who was still a junior in their eyes, fell in the eyes of Mr. Zhang. Yes, Mr. Zhang. After being recommended by the world-famous General Cai and falling into the favor of the arrogant General Jiang Fangzhen, it was impossible for Zhang Hanqing not to become famous in Beijing. Naturally, from General Zhang's point of view, ordinary people should not let him be so concerned.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Han Linchun also often had the impression that his talents were not recognized. His ambition was to lead troops as a general, rather than just burying himself in a pile of paper to study gun improvements. That was just his first step into the ranks. Otherwise, how could he, who had never had the opportunity to command an army, be able to make a splash and stand out from the crowd? He originally wanted to show off his talents on Beiyang Army equipment, but he was never able to get into the eyes of the central government, and he was unable to use what he had learned in his heart. Seeing the Beiyang Army purchasing ordnance day after day but never being able to make a breakthrough in independence, he deeply hated the fact that heroes had no place to use their talents.
As a general, he also knows that buying weapons will never make you a great weapon
The savior is here. Although I don’t know what Fengtian will do, the young man in front of me has a vision that his peers do not have. From Zhang Hanqing's slightly veiled words, he vaguely sensed the young man's ambition.
Yes, ambition, or rather the ambition of the person behind him - after all, Zhang Hanqing is still young. Rebuilding martial arts halls and preparing arsenals are all done by those who are eager for quick success. They require a lot of time and money, sacrifice of possible short-term benefits, and require great scheming and perseverance. Separating the military and police is an attempt to revolutionize the separatist warlords; reorganizing the army is an attempt to strengthen the army. Having such ambitions, but not being too high-spirited and advocating "industry to save the country," means that we have grasped the root of China's current illness, and will surely achieve success in the future.
Should you continue to stay here and be a law-abiding general, or should you move closer to Fengtian and become a minister of the dragon? Han Linchun immediately made up his mind: this young gentleman's father currently only has one division of troops in Fengtian. If he follows him in times of crisis, he will naturally have more opportunities to be reused than in the future, and he will appear to be far more far-sighted. However, the office is a mixed bag. In these troubled times, Han Linchun also?Don't want to cause trouble. He reached out his hand kindly and shook it naturally with Zhang Hanqing.
However, Zhang Hanqing felt the huge enthusiasm coming from his opponent at this moment. Han Linchun laughed, retracted his hand without leaving a trace, and looked directly at Zhang Hanqing: "It turns out that General Zhang also knows Han Linchun. Since everyone is recommended for the country, I will also introduce one or two people in the military industry when I have the opportunity. But people Everyone has his own ambitions, but you can't force him, Mr. Han."
Zhang Hanqing was overjoyed, and his originally a little disappointed mentality was stimulated by this shot of encouragement. Judging from Han Linchun's powerful response, this person should be tempted. Moreover, this person looks honest and honest on the surface, but there are subtleties in the roughness. He neither talks to death nor gives people any possible excuses. Talents are talents! Who can be recommended by this hard-core master who is good at weapons manufacturing? Is this the legendary east does not light and the west lights?
This was the first time in this world that the communication was so smooth. His joy was evident on the paper, and he said to Han Linchun: "Don't be afraid to call Counselor General Han my eldest brother. The talents you can recommend will definitely be favored by my father. If you have time, Xueliang will definitely come to express his gratitude. Although there is a small age difference between you and me, we might as well get closer to each other."
?? Han Linchun is a real person. He agreed to Zhang Hanqing's words and saw the results immediately. With his connections in the military system and his usually affable elder demeanor, his popularity is not generally good. Under his introduction, a group of well-known ordnance experts in the early Republic of China met Zhang Hanqing, and some of them were successfully instigated. Among them were Deng Yancun, who graduated from the first artillery department in Baoding, Jia Xiaohou, who was good at machine manufacturing and blasting, As well as Yang Wenkai, Hou Debang and others.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? out Out of Zhang Hanqing’s encouragement, these young people who were dissatisfied with the status quo and full of vitality (unlike Zhang Hanqing’s young people, although they were younger, were older than Xiao Zhang), successfully decided to go to Fengtian to have a look. Zhang Hanqing also sent someone to explain the situation in Beijing and the achievements of these people in detail to Zhang Zuolin. He suggested that the Shenyang Arsenal prepare and wrote a statement based on Han Linchun's suggestion.
The ambitious Zhang Zuolin had long been planning to build his own arsenal, especially Zhang Hanqing's words to him before leaving inspired his ambition again. Now there are inspection experts recommended by Zhang Hanqing, who of course know how to put on a show, and outline a prosperous scene in front of Deng Yancun and others: Based on the 27th Division Ordnance Repair Station, the newly established Shenyang Arsenal will successively establish firearms manufacturing branches, There are a mountain artillery manufacturing branch, a machine gun manufacturing branch, an ammunition branch, and a repair shop. In addition, a machine tool factory is added, along with an iron smelting plant and a forging plant that are both industrial and semi-civilian.
Who is Lao Zhang? He is upright and sincere, and his undisguised ambition in his conversations makes people feel ambitious. Everyone who engages in the military wants to make achievements. For these ordnance industry experts, building a huge arsenal is their achievement.
Of course, Zhang Zuolin also bluntly said that everything is on paper. He also hopes to build the best arsenal in China, which requires the support of Han Linchun and others. Yang Yuting, the General Counselor of the General Administration and known as "Little Zhuge", will be assigned to concurrently serve as the Supervisor of the Arsenal, leaving the position of General Office to wait for Han Linchun.
Although Han Linchun saw the "Shenyang Arsenal" in a deserted place, he felt the frankness and trust of the father and son in him. However, when he returned to the military department and wanted to be transferred through due procedures, he was rejected. It turns out that at this time of turmoil in Beijing, in order to stabilize the overall situation, Lao Yuan was very sensitive to the transfer of officers. The office did not want to be in the limelight, but it was not that he was dissatisfied with Han Linchun.
Of course, the reason is also very simple. A mere general from Fengtian Province wants to take advantage of the Central Committee. This is contempt for the Central Committee. In the end, the potential of the place is greater than that of the Central Committee? This is not the difference between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, this is the military!
Han Linchun was so motivated by Zhang Zuolin's words. He was thinking about showing off his talents in Fengtian, so he ignored the hidden meaning. He was such a cool person. Without saying a word, he resigned from his position as a counselor in the Military Council with a generous salary and came out to clean up his life. When he came to Fengtian General's Mansion with only a box of clothes, Zhang Zuolin was moved beyond measure.
"Seeing the true love in times of adversity, and giving help in the snow before one's wings are full will really make people feel grateful. From then on, Han Linchun fell into Zhang Zuolin's eyes. He arranged for him to prepare the arsenal together with Yang Yuting and appointed him as the general manager of the Fengtian arsenal. The flower Jiang Baili was not planted yet, but the willow tree Han Linchun was accidentally planted. Zhang Hanqing was overjoyed and felt that he had gained a lot.
Han Linchun was successfully encouraged to resign and go to Fengtian, which shocked the insiders in Beijing. The legendary story about the agitator Major General Zhang Hanqing being appreciated by General Cai and General Jiang spread all over Beijing.
Of course, the only drawback is that several other weapons experts are not as open-minded as Han Linchun. They have families to support and would not dare to go to sea if they were not transferred. It is difficult for Cai E to help with these matters that involve personal interests. After all, he and the Zhangs have a common goal, but he has not been personally involved in the prospects of the Fengtian Arsenal and does not know the reality.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off offfes to?keep a horse to gallop would be to create the conditions for a thousand-mile horse to gallop, otherwise it would be harming people instead of recommending talents. Zhang Hanqing had little roots in Beijing and had nothing to do, so he worried about this matter for a long time.

However, there was a time when Zhang Hanqing was more worried than this, and that was when Cai E invited him out to watch a show.
There is nothing that Cai E can do about watching the show. Who makes him the focus of Lao Yuan's attention? Zhang Hanqing sometimes couldn't help it. Ever since he got into trouble with Han Linchun and others, Gao Jiyi told him that there were more strangers around him than before.
It must be Lao Yuan who is suspicious. He wanted to study away from the limelight, but this annoying Cai Shishu kept "visiting" him, making it impossible for him to keep a low profile. Why can't the uncle and nephew study books together all day long? That’s too fake! I had no choice but to go out to the amusement park every three days.
There is a saying in old Beijing: "People never leave the road, tigers never leave the mountains, and opera singers never leave Baishun and Hanjiatan." An important reason for the formation of the prototype of "Fengyuechang" in the Bada Hutongs was that during the Qianlong period, Hui Troupes came to Beijing and stayed in the Bada Hutongs. Hanjiatan and Baishun Hutong area. After that, opera troupes such as Sixi and Chuntai came to Beijing one after another and stayed in Baishun Hutong, Shaanxi Lane and Litieguai Xiejie among the eight alleys. This is about the formation and development of the eight alleys and drama, especially Peking Opera. The processes are inextricably linked.
Zhang Hanqing does not reject Peking Opera. He has also heard some famous jokes in modern Peking Opera, such as "Shajiabang" and "Taking the Tiger Mountain by Wisdom". But when it comes to enjoyment, I really admire him. After being forced to watch several plays by Cai E as a cover, I truly understood the helplessness that Lu Xun said in "Social Opera": "Hey, I don't know what to sing." General Cai had no one to talk to about his worries. It could be said that he was extremely lonely. Now I finally have this little "comrade" here, of course I call him my friend and make him my friend, so that I can pass the boring days. Although Liang Yuan is good, your body is not made of iron; Li Yuan is better, because you can not only waste time watching the theater, but also eat pears - autumn is the season for eating pears.
There is nothing major happening in Beijing, we are just waiting for President Yuan’s show to begin. Only when he starts the gong can his own hands, which push the Fengxi system to take advantage of the opportunity, can show its teeth and claws in the tide of history, oh no, ride the wind and waves.
Of course, with nothing to do, he also carefully studied the news of the Republic of China in the past few years and the schools and origins of the important people in Beijing. The future direct and Anhui figures, their fortune history, and the power behind them. He is determined to recruit a group of talents for the future use of the Fengtian, regardless of political, military, economic, cultural, and scientific and technological fields. As long as it is useful, you can strive for it. If you poach one more person, Jingzhong will have less strength, and there will be less resistance to the development of the Fengcheng system in the future.
It is difficult for a wise woman to make a meal without rice. She has nearly a hundred years of historical knowledge, but she is still not like other time-travelers. As soon as her tyrannical aura is exposed, she attracts worship from all directions, talents come to her in droves, golden fingers are colorful, and the army is like Divine help kills all directions. I have been here for half a year, but apart from getting to know Han Lin early, I seem to have accomplished nothing. Zhang Zuolin's faction is still moving forward in accordance with the original rhythm and the direction of history.
"Financially, we are still so poor, the army is still the same 27th Division, the Japanese are still there, and we still have no say in the Northeast. He began to think about how to use his "extraordinary" knowledge to accelerate his relationship and his own power.
“My reputation in Fengtian military circles is not good, it’s time to take charge of the army myself. Didn't the great Mao Zedong say, "Political power emerges from the barrel of a gun." Without people and guns, warlords cannot be warlords. I am young, and those veterans of the Fengjun army will definitely not listen to me. My father has just established an army, and he will definitely not be willing to retire so early, so the best result is to form his own army. The 27th Division was filled with the smell of decay and needed to be overhauled, but he would rather have the opportunity to restart the process and build a new army.
Economically, it is currently the most necessary and has the best chance of showing results. Fengtian and the entire Northeast are rich in mineral resources. They are a gift from God. It is perfect for operating heavy industry. Moreover, the land in Northeast China is fertile and has great potential in agriculture. The most important thing is that any of his economic actions will not really touch the taboos of the Fengcian figures, and there will not be much backlash; even the Japanese can't say anything about it - you take yours, and I will develop mine. Yes, let’s not interfere with each other at this stage, okay?
Of course, there are even greater advantages. My thoughts grew up in the environment of reform and opening up. I can’t say that I have full confidence in developing the economy. I have a very intuitive understanding of those economic theoretical terms that took nearly a hundred years to take shape. know. In particular, China's current development is similar to the reform and opening up in the 1980s.
You must also stand out politically, otherwise you will really become a warlord. China is so big, and if you want to control it in the future, you will never be able to do it alone. We need a large group of like-minded people, that is, comrades, that is the party. The twentieth century and beyond will be the trend of party politics.On the 31st, Mei Lanfang will premiere a new costume drama "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" at Beijing Jixiangyuan. The reason why this day is solemnly recorded is because it was the first time that chasing lights were used on the Peking Opera stage. Mei Lanfang took the role of lighting a step forward, and it has a significant mark in the history of Peking Opera development. Cai E knew Zhang Hanqing's wish, so he used this news to successfully fish out the nephew he planned to take advantage of.
Of course, Zhang Hanqing’s reading is fake, listening to plays is also fake, but having the addiction of looking up to famous people is real. As for Cai E, he wandered around the theater and prostitutes' houses every day under the watchful eyes of a group of spies. He didn't know whether he was watching the theater to paralyze the spies, or to paralyze the spies in order to watch the drama.
As the saying goes: I don’t know if you have played with life, or if life has played with you. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 28 Entering the drama
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Liu Xikui plays the matchmaker in "The Romance of the West Chamber" at "Guangde House", wearing heavy makeup on her body and head. Although she couldn't see her true appearance, Liu Xikui's demeanor and movements made Zhang Hanqing conclude that she was a well-educated beauty, because her appearance was also excellent.
If a beautiful woman has a tutor, she is a beautiful woman; if she is smart, she is a talented woman; if she has a tutor and is smart, she is known as a lady in the hall; if she is good in the kitchen, she is a beautiful woman. Liu Xikui is as gentle and lovely as the girl next door, beautiful and dignified.
A woman with a good face is called a top grade woman; a good figure is called a top grade woman; a woman with a good posture is called a top grade woman. Liu Xikui's facial features are extremely beautiful. When it comes to singing, his natural figure will not be inferior to others. To be able to achieve such an achievement in the opera industry and have a natural posture is first-rate and is called a masterpiece. Looking back and smiling, the sixth palace has no color. There is a unique feminine beauty in every gesture, even if Concubine Yang is reborn, that's all, right?
Without listening to Ying's words, there were three or two sounds, first with Yan Mei. Most of the audience in the audience are fans of Liu, and Liu Xikui's performance cannot help but resonate with people. So the audience cheered in unison: "Xikui! Xikui! Xikui! Xikui! Xikui!" The lively scene was no less than Andy Lau's concert in its heyday, or even worse.
Zhang Hanqing fell in love with her at that time. No wonder it is said in "Aesthetics": "Beautiful things always make people love." He hummed a lyric from his heart: "I am not afraid that the strong wind will blow away love, thousands of rivers and mountains will always Affection".
Even the hero Cai E couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "I didn't expect that being famous is not as good as meeting, and meeting is more like being famous. It is so beautiful." It is impossible for General Cai, who works in major theaters, to be unaware of Liu Xikui's various gossips. In this atmosphere, even the always serious General Cai couldn't help showing off what he had learned. He laughed loudly and said to Zhang Hanqing: "Hanqing, I suddenly remembered an anecdote in Beijing. The protagonist is a famous celebrity named Yi Shifu. This man once served as Qinlian Dao in Guangdong and regarded himself as a legacy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He was always full of ideas and had a good literary name. He was also a loyal theater fan of Liu Xikui. He would go to Liu Xikui's apartment once a day, rain or shine, and he was full of enthusiasm. Every time he entered the house, he shouted: 'My dear mother! I'm here again!' I wrote many poems praising Liu Xikui."
Zhang Hanqing didn’t believe it, it looked like a joke. It is not fashionable to be wild in chronology at this time, and this is not the time for the Wei and Jin Dynasties to be fashionable.
General Cai finally talked about this incident. Seeing that Zhang Hanqing didn't believe it, he shook his head and started to show off: "He once made seven wishes to the sky. I will read it to you." The people around him saw it interesting and joined in one after another. The line of listeners. Since celebrities are not available, it is quite satisfying to hear anecdotes. Chinese people like this.
General Cai’s voice was strong, medium-thick, and sonorous:
"If I wish to turn into a silkworm's mouth and spin silk, I will be happy to ride on Kui's crotch.
Er is willing to turn cotton into cloth and cut it into Xikui crotch-protecting pants.
"Three wishes are turned into grass and made into paper, and Xikui often touches his fingers when changing clothes."
The four wishes are boiled in water and turned into hot springs when bathing in Xikui.
The Five Wishful Wishes and Xikui are transformed into pens, which can be caressed and carried into the pen.
The six wishes of Xikui are embodied in me, and I can do whatever I want.
Qiyuan Xikui’s parents have special privileges, so they take him as their son-in-law and take pity on his mother-in-law. "
Those who knew about it would laugh heartily. Those who didn’t know would rush to ask others. Fortunately, this is a vernacular poem, and people who are illiterate can probably understand it 99% of the time.
Although this poem is vulgar, explicit in its expression, and extremely obscene, it expresses the sentiments of many people today, at least Zhang Hanqing feels the sentiments in his heart. He thought to himself: "The poem is a good poem, but I can't do it. It's too mean. Our young commander is romantic, but it's not mean. Alas, why do people always have to protect that face when they are living in the world?" Then he thought: "No wonder there were always scenes of villains snatching brides in operas in the past. It's strange that no one would have any bad ideas about such a beautiful country. People say that beauty is a disaster. It's not just casual. Even I have been trained for many years. The five good young people who are morally educated, stable, and clean all think about raping women of the people, let alone others?"
Then I thought about it again: "If I am now in power, should I bear the pressure of public opinion and do Wang Laohu's marriage robbery?"
Cai E showed off but received no response. He thought Zhang Hanqing still didn't believe it, so he racked his brains to recall it and said to Zhang Hanqing: "This thing is true. There was also a poem about this thing later:
Liu's family in the south of Luoma Street, Baitou Shi's career as a guest actor.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????: 3. Take off your hat and call out to your mother wildly. The goddess scatters her flowers beautifully. "
Zhang Hanqing thought about the scene carefully, thinking about the crazy look of the white-haired Yi Shifu walking around calling "my mother" regardless of his age, and couldn't help but smile.
Over there at the same timeThere was a "plop" sound, but it was a young man who was about to pounce on the stage, but tripped over the railing on the side. Someone helped him up. The man was so naive that he pushed the person next to him and said, "I also want to be close to Xikui!"
Zhang Hanqing looked at the poor child. He was only about twenty years old, and his figure was pitifully thin, like a reed stick. It seems that his unrequited love for Liu Xikui has reached the point of madness, and he is probably seriously ill. Thinking about it, before the time travel, there was news saying that "a female fan was chasing stars, and the old man who sold his kidney was dissatisfied and just left a picture and jumped into the sea to commit suicide." This scene is comparable to it.
Some people saw him as pitiful and ridiculous, so they bet on whether he dared to hug Liu Xikui in public.
That person has become addicted to it and cannot extricate himself. Also, Liu Xikui is a peerless beauty, and if she plays the affectionate matchmaker, her charming and tender attitude makes the whole room full of spring, any man will be in a state of ecstasy. Being aroused by this again, the sperm got into my head and I couldn't care less. After the show, he waited at the door of the backstage. In full view of everyone, he hugged Liu Xikui and kissed her passionately, muttering: "My dear, I miss you so much!"
Liu Xikui was so frightened that his face turned pale, and Zhang Hanqing was also surprised. This, this, this, this is too powerful, right? What kind of world is this?
But the greater humiliation made him angry: someone else had done what he wanted to do but didn't dare to do, and he was so proud of it. It was unbearable! This is an insult to him.
It is also an insult to the whole world, oh, no, the men present!
Soon after, a young man sitting in the front row suddenly straightened up, took two quick steps, and jumped over the stage. The man put one hand firmly between Liu Xikui's and Lu Chai Bang's faces, preventing him from doing anything rude; he also forced his body into the gap between the two of them, and at the same time pushed the Lu Chai Stick hard.
?????????????????? Although Lu Chai Bang is thin, he is still very strong when he is in love. The young man pushed him several times but was unable to pry him away, and he and three other people were pushed to the side of the stage. The young man was so anxious that he scolded her several times, "Shameless! Dirty!" At such a critical moment, he did not use any foul language, showing his good tutoring. However, when a scholar encounters soldiers, there is nothing he can do to deal with this ruffian-style fight. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 29 The Gentleman and the Villain
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing also jumped on the stage at this moment to help young people get rid of entanglements.
The insulted men invariably showed the good "folk customs" of the early Republic of China and resorted to punching, kicking, snapping fingers, and hugging the head to tear him away from Dame Liu's arms. Among them, Zhang Hanqing contributed a lot and basically performed all the martial arts. He did all the actions that he could think of in movies, TV shows, and martial arts novels in his memory.
The man was pinned to the ground unable to move. When people asked him his name, he refused to answer, but his eagle eyes stared directly at Zhang Hanqing and the young man. Seeing that the thin figure was enveloped by ant-like fists, several voices nearby shouted: "Go away, be careful not to eat and carry around." Then a few sturdy men squeezed through the crowd, Grab the reed stick and protect it in the middle.
Two of them raised the arms of Zhang Hanqing, who had been beaten the most fiercely. Luchai Guang, who had recovered his breath, raised his feet and kicked Zhang Hanqing in the lower body. Zhang Hanqing just used methods such as kicking the crotch, pinching the legs, and hitting the buttocks, which made him still "unable to take care of himself." Can you not remember it? Although Lu Chaibang's figure was shaking violently, and he was probably exhausted by the drunkenness, but if he kicked him in the vital part of the human body, the romantic young marshal's reputation would be over forever!
This new force frightened the kind-hearted people, but General Cai was angered by these tough actions. Under his eyes, if Zhang Hanqing becomes passive, his reputation will be ruined. Moreover, under Zhang Zuolin's rage, most of his plan to unite to protect the country would come to nothing.
He is also depressed: the capital is a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there is always a chance to catch the emperor's relatives and dignitaries. Zhang Hanqing just did some things, but he still had to go to such extreme lengths (how could he know the voice in Zhang Hanqing's heart: The hatred of seizing beauty is irreconcilable!). No, something happened. The other party is obviously a person with good background. But he couldn't ignore it. If he waited a little longer, Zhang Hanqing would be dead at a young age.
Although he was wearing a green mandarin jacket and didn't look out of place, when Cai E raised his left hand to take a picture of the leg that was about to be kicked out by Lu Chai Bang, under the solemn attention of the audience, his image became unusually tall!
The little strength that Lu Chaibang had finally accumulated was wiped away by Cai E. Because the center of gravity was on that leg, he almost staggered. He raised his head and angrily looked for the person who photographed him, while cursing and saying: "Who the hell" When he saw Cai E clearly, the arrogance on his face suddenly turned into a spring breeze, and the unfinished sentence was gone. Zi fell into the tone of "don't come to help me".
There are also many smart men among the tough men. They don’t want to pursue the “culprit” when they see Lu Chai Bang, so naturally they don’t dare to cause trouble. After Zhang Hanqing's hands were successfully freed, he rubbed his sore shoulders and thought to himself: "Whose subordinate has such strong hands?"
Cai E had no problem seeing Zhang Hanqing. When he saw the man opposite him, he seemed to know himself, didn't know what was true, and didn't want to get into trouble. Thinking about it, this was not a big deal in the first place. It would be fine if everyone just broke up.
But Lu Chaibang didn’t want to give up. He couldn't do anything rude to General Cai. Although he had no troops and no power, he was still General Zhaowei of the Republic of China, right? Moreover, Uncle Nai also respected Cai E very much. But his hatred for Zhang Hanqing made him unable to control himself. He moved his hands, which were sore from being stepped on, and saluted Cai E, saying: "General, although this incident happened because of me, it is not the turn of those two boys." A lynching. It is a matter of state law and I did it myself. I will go to the police station to deal with it later, but I was beaten by them for no reason. This matter has to be settled."
“Boy, you are so aggressive after doing such a scandal, but you are questioning and threatening others, and when talking about going to the police station, you don’t think of it as a thing, when the police station is run by his family?
Zhang Hanqing is not a person who is afraid of trouble. After inheriting the body of the eldest son of the Northeast King, he also inherited the toughness and pride in his heart. Although I sensitively feel that this reed stick may have some background, for the sake of the face of the Northeastern people, I have to hold on through mountains of fire and seas of fire! He said very bachelorly: "I'll just beat you. If you can beat me back, it's your ability!" He said slowly: "Boy, if it weren't for the police and national laws to control your moral character, I'd see you beaten once." once!"
It’s not that he’s stunned, it’s that he’s not afraid. With Cai E here, he believed that no one could touch him. Even if Cai E wasn't there, it wouldn't matter. He bet that he would be surrounded by people who were both spies and "bodyguards"; after that, it would be even more impossible. Yuan Shikai would not tolerate any opponent who could hurt him just because of his status as a proton. At this critical moment, if you have some inconvenience, don't worry about Zhang Zuolin's attitude. Yuan Shikai was a great hero, and he would never lose big because of small things.
Only by making a fuss did he show his courage as the "proud son of heaven" in Fengtian City outside the pass. Only in this way can the suspicious Lao Yuan recognize his true nature as a playboy.??. Moreover, it's just a matter of jealousy, it can't be brought into politics, can it? Therefore, even though he was alone and alone, Zhang Hanqing still did not change his stubborn tone even though he was at a disadvantage - could this be the inspiration of the so-called sword-fighting spirit of meeting in a narrow road and the brave prevailing? Nonsence! The spirit of the bright sword is for warriors on the battlefield, not for jealousy, okay?
Cai E seemed a little unwilling to do anything. He frowned slightly and said, "You were at fault for what happened today. You also know the national laws. How to go to the police station to handle this matter is up to you. But I I want to know how you plan to end it?"
Lu Chaibang seemed to be confused by Zhang Hanqing's confident expression, and subconsciously thought about who was the most important person in Beijing. Fortunately, the scene where Zhang Hanqing was appreciated by Jiang and Cai, especially the comment by military leader Jiang Baili as "a rising star in the military" has been spread to the homes of almost every high-ranking Beiyang household in Beijing through countless third parties, and is used as a good example for educating his children. Living teaching material——If Zhang Hanqing knew it, he should be involved. Who can play with Cai E, not that rising star in the military?
It seems that looking for bad luck with Zhang Hanqing is out of the question for the time being, but there is still that gentle young man who stopped him! If it hadn't been for that person, he would have saved his image and had a happy relationship. So Lu Chaibang became furious after thinking about it. He looked at Cai E and Zhang Hanqing and pointed at the gentle and handsome young man: "For the sake of the general, today's matter is over. But I can't let it go with him." !”
Zhang Hanqing didn't take him seriously: that is, in Beijing, if in Fengtian He thought for a while and shouted: "He is my friend. If you have something to do with him, why not come to me together!" "
Cai E nodded approvingly. This guy has such a big heart and is a person who can achieve great things. What happened today is also a good disguise for him. Anything involving a woman, especially a beautiful woman, is worthy of exaggeration. In addition, there is still room for bargaining when it comes to his appearance. Even if the young man has nothing to do with him, if word spreads, his face will be damaged.
Lu Chaibang’s stomach is about to explode. With Cai Songpo here, even his old uncle would have to give him some face when he came; as for Zhang Hanqing's background, he knew clearly through others. Although it is a proton, under the current situation, it must be kept like porcelain and cannot be touched.
The police officers from the Qianmen Police Station who received the dispatch mission complained endlessly after arriving at the scene. With the testimony of General Cai and the identification of many fans, Lu Chaibang's crime is unmistakable. However, the police chief who had just taken office knew the background of the criminal very well and proposed to take him to the police station for "careful" interrogation. This was approved by General Cai, and this case was brought to an end for personal gain.
Because Lu Chaibang’s name is Duan Hongye, and he is the son of former Army Chief Duan Qirui. The reason why it is said to be "former" is because Lao Duan not only did not contribute to the process of Lao Yuan becoming emperor, but also tried to dissuade him many times. Finally, Lao Yuan was angry and kicked him to the bottom, and went to Tianjin to rest.
"Tacitly acquiescing to the inevitable favoritism towards Duan Hongye was Cai E's helpless choice, and he also needed to step down. After all, Lao Duan is also a fellow-minded person who strongly disapproves of constitutional monarchy reform. It's such a small thing, it's not worth getting upset over.
The young man softly comforted Liu Xikui for a few words, then came to Zhang Hanqing and Cai E, bowed and saluted, and said: "Thanks to General Songpo and Brother Hanqing for your help, Mei Lanfang is grateful."
It turns out that this is the legendary Mr. Mei! As expected, Zhang Hanqing returned the gift with a handsome appearance. Mei Lanfang is a strange man who is famous for playing negative roles. He is handsome and unrestrained, but why is he not ranked among the four young masters of the Republic of China? Is it because he is not interested? I was thinking in my heart, but said in my mouth: "How does Mr. Mei know about Xueliang?"
Mei Lanfang said with a smile: "The words 'rising star in the military' are still ringing in my ears. Everyone in the world knows Jing." He then smiled and pointed at the backs of Duan Hongye and others: "If Han Qing hadn't shown off his sword spirit, I'm afraid the villain would have succeeded today. "It's a pity that I have always been a coward and have never had any experience in fighting. Only then did I realize the principle of 'Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement.'" He said a joke.
Zhang Hanqing suddenly remembered a public case after the liberation in official history, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mei's words are wrong. If you talk about villains, I'm afraid Xueliang is also a villain, while Mr. Mei is a gentleman."
Mei Lanfang was only surprised for a moment, then asked with a smile: "How do you interpret Han Qing's words?"
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "Sir, when he sings, he uses his mouth; Xueliang only knows how to fight and use his hands. There is a saying that 'a gentleman talks but not his hands'. Since Mr., he is a gentleman when he talks, then Xueliang has no choice but to be a villain."
The three of them laughed.
"Humility, courteousness, and gentleness were Zhang Hanqing's first impression of Mei Lanfang. It is very rare for a famous opera actor like him to be so elegant. No wonder later generations commented on him: "Mr. Mei's art and personality are extremely elegant. His art is never earth-shattering, never roaring like a mountain or a tsunami. It is a perfect combination of up and down, hard and soft, and just right. It is not difficult to learn, and profoundness can be seen in the ordinary. , but he is a master of ordinary things. His elegance is also in his daily life, and he has a good temper."
From this moment on, Mei Lanfang became Zhang Hanqing’s best friend for half his life. Mei Lanfang invited Zhang Hanqing and Cai E to watch his play. The two happily accepted the invitation. Cai E agreed that Zhang Hanqing would come back to watch the play in two days. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com). It is not difficult to learn. You can see the profoundness in the ordinary things, but the ordinary things are the master of it. He is also elegant in his daily life and has a good temper. "

Chapter 30 Listening to the Opera

In the police station, Duan Hongye rubbed his wounds from the fists and feet, gritted his teeth, and vowed to avenge this old fist, while the director diligently served him tea and water.
People don’t dare to close people down, but things still have to be dealt with. In a briefing on the handling of the matter the next day, the director explained the verdict as follows: "Because this person's behavior was just a typical star-chasing fanaticism and he was too involved in the drama. His behavior was inappropriate, but his motive was pitiable." The laws of the Republic of China did not have a special judicial explanation for this, and in the end they had to fine him fifty yuan.
But after leaving the police station, Duan Hongye exclaimed: "For fifty yuan, I can hug the goddess in my heart. It's so happy! It's so happy! It's worth it! It's worth it." At that time, the newspaper made a big deal about it, and some good-hearted people wrote a poem: "Bingxue is smart now. It is said that the leading female character in the play is an immortal; how can she be so anxious and abrupt, and say that she is worth fifty yuan?" Because Zhang Yiqing disturbed his good affairs, he hated him deeply. Unknowingly, the two had formed a rift.
Two days later, Cai E lived up to his promise and asked Zhang Hanqing to listen to the show again.
Frankly speaking, Zhang Hanqing is not interested in opera at all. After experiencing an era of great abundance of entertainment in later generations, these pastimes in the early Republic of China were really only prototypes.
Ministry of Internal Affairs Street was called Goulan Hutong in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was derived from the name of prostitutes and artists who sang and sang while holding on to the railings. From then on, "Goulan" became another name for the brothel. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when officials and wealthy people had banquets, they asked prostitutes to accompany them to drink, play music, and sing. This was called "calling a note", and for prostitutes, it was called "going out a note."
By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, brothels were mainly concentrated on Qianmenwai Street. First, because it was close to the inner city, it was more convenient for officials to go out to enjoy themselves; second, there was a train station here, and there were many tourists traveling from north to south; third, Qianmen Wai Street It is a famous commercial street in the capital and is quite prosperous; fourthly, this area is a gathering place for theaters, teahouses and restaurants, where eating, drinking and entertainment can be a self-contained area.
Pluged the Er fork and the gongs started to fight, vomiting, the sound of vomiting was endless, mixed with the bustling crowd, it was lively. Zhang Hanqing was very happy to see this scene. It was much more interesting than when he came to "explore" the differences between the northern and southern brothels some time ago. I'm just curious, why is it so different when I'm alone with Cai E?
??In the early morning of Chaoyu Yi, the dust is quiet and the horseshoes are new. Zhang Hanqing and Cai E made an appointment to watch a play at Kaiming Theater. Although he hates going to the theater in his heart, his face pretends to be as happy as the first brother - as the saying goes, if God wants to give someone a big job, he must first suffer his mind and strain his muscles This can be considered a test.
If you don’t like it, just don’t like it. There’s no need to be arty. Even Lu Xun, the leader of the seven great writers in the modern literary world, is not interested in Peking Opera. He said in "She Opera" that he had only watched Peking Opera twice in twenty years, and it was nothing more than "dong-dong beating, red and green swaying", "a large group of people beating randomly", and the scene under the stage was "too unfit for life" ".
Zhang Hanqing is dressed in brocade and fluttering gown, showing his true character as a young man; Cai E wears his usual businessman's clothes to partially conceal his identity. People who don't know about it might think that Zhang Hanqing is the eldest son of someone's family, and Cai E is a follower.
To the south of Zhushikou, there are tea gardens and theaters for the working people of the middle and lower classes in the Tianqiao area. For a few copper coins, people can enjoy Peking Opera, Ping Opera, Bangzi, folk arts and other entertainment. Liang Yiming, a Peking Opera actor, imitated Ma Lianliang so vividly that audiences who couldn't hear Ma Lianliang's plays enthusiastically called him "Ma Lianliang on the Overpass." The overpass in Jin Yong's "The Storyteller Under the Overpass" refers to this place. However, Zhushikou is a boundary. The actor became famous in the Tianqiao area. Being able to enter the Kaiming Theater at the southern end of Zhushikou means that he has entered the upper echelon of the theater world.
Kaiming Theater was built in the first year of the Republic of China and was jointly operated by China and Japan. Its shape and appearance are based on foreign theaters. As famous Peking Opera performers Yang Xiaolou, Mei Lanfang, Yu Shuyan, Meng Xiaodong, and Bai Yushuang, known as the "Queen of Ping Opera", etc. often perform here, it has always been a representative of high-end atmosphere and class.
There are usually a lot of people there, but today it is even more crowded and the roads are congested, approaching the Spring Festival Transport in history. Zhang Hanqing sighed in his heart: After all, this is an evil old society, and entertainment projects are extremely monotonous. Just listening to a play is worthy of such exaggeration. It wasn't until someone mentioned it that I realized that President Yuan Ke, the second son of President Yuan Da, who was good at poetry, calligraphy, and Kun opera, was going to perform a Kun opera here.
Second Young Master Yuan’s occasional cameos are certainly worthy of praise, but not because of his official status. You must know that Mr. Yuan Kewen is an elegant and fond of Peking Opera and Kun Opera, and is a famous actor in Beijing and Tianjin. Not only is he proficient in drama theory, he has written opera reviews, and he can also appear on stage, but he is one of the most famous opera masters. He played both niche and ugly roles very well. Commentators rated him as having a clear and round tone, not to mention famous actors. At that time, his reputation was not as high as that of Mei Lanfang. Down. It's just that he was obsessed with this way, but he didn't make a living from it, soIt is rare for ordinary people to see his true appearance.
Yuan Kewen was born to Yuan Shikai's third aunt, Kim, who was from Korea. Because his aunt did not have any children, Kewen was adopted by his aunt since he was a child. The aunt loved her son very much, and it was said that any request he made would be met.
He has been extremely smart since he was a child. It is said that he has the ability to read ten lines and have a "photographic memory". Therefore, although he is not as good at reading as Xue Pan, the idiot king, he is good at composing poems, lyrics and articles. His handwriting was also elegant and elegant, so Yuan Shikai also had a preference for him.
The concubine's arrogance and Yuan Shikai's preference created Yuan Kewen's spendthrift, capricious, and extravagant playboy character. He did everything from eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking (opium). Because his eldest son accidentally fell off his horse and became lame, Yuan Shikai had a bad image. He also loved his son, so he once wanted to make him a "prince". However, Yuan Kewen was naughty and bohemian by nature. He never liked to study seriously, but he liked to sing Kun opera, play with ancient coins, and like to make friends with scholars. He said that he "aims to be a scholar." It really hurt Lao Yuan, but the roots had been formed, so he had to let it go.
Although the tickets for Kaiming Theater are expensive, they are not worth mentioning in the eyes of General Cai. After all, he is the "General Zhaowei" of the Beiyang government and the elder of the "Uncle Shi". It is natural that Cai E will treat him today to open Zhang Hanqing's eyes.
Sitting in the private room overlooking the downstairs, I saw a sea of ??people, bustling and bustling. Although Zhang Hanqing doesn't like going to the theater, he likes to cuddle up with people. For the past few days, I have been trapped in the Tsinghua University Garden like a white snow in spring, and this time I finally received some earthly energy.
The two of them were sitting in a private seat on the east side of the second floor. Not long after, a group of old people from the Republic of China in mandarin jackets came in across from them. There were also a few young people in suits and leather shoes among them. They all surrounded a middle-aged man like stars holding the moon. This kind of matching of clothes is already familiar to old Beijingers, but for Zhang Hanqing, who has traveled through time, this era when Western clothes and the clothes of the ancient Eastern empire coexist, there is a kind of beauty and beast sensory stimulation.
That group of people seemed to have seen the two of them. Someone pointed here, and several other people gathered around and murmured something. Zhang Hanqing vaguely seemed to see Duan Hongye among them, who had had a conflict with him two days ago. Thinking about it, there must be nothing good going on. But with the sound of a gong, everything fell silent. The group of people also sat in the west wing and began to watch the show intently.
After an unknown play of Yi Yi Ya Ya, the curtain was closed tightly for a moment, and then a miserable singing voice came: "Pack up the earth, mountains and rivers, all the four elements are empty. After all the journeys, deserts, flat forests, and fortresses High mountains and rolling Yangtze River, but you can see the cold clouds, mist and sorrow, the unbearable bitter rain and the bitter wind carrying resentment. The majestic city is strong, and the country is in good condition, who knows that I have arrived in Xiangyang with a ladle and a hat."
Kun Opera is not easy to understand, unless you are an experienced opera actor who has a good grasp of the lines and can enjoy it along with the tune. Although Zhang Hanqing also worked in the Suhu area for many years, he couldn't understand why. He only felt that the voice was slightly different from Wu Nong's soft words that he had heard before, but he didn't know what the difference was, so he had to open his eyes wide to see the strangeness.
Then two warriors with small flags on their heads appeared in a circle, and then a black-bearded man holding a fake riding crop sang: "The general's neck is covered with blood, and his body is scattered, exposing his wounds. Another head." One after another, they drove to show other directions. Desolate, sighing that the soul is floating in the sky, sighing that the bones are buried in the soil. Piling up vehicles, looking at the example of loyal ministers. It is in vain to boast that the phoenix sings in the morning sun."
Seeing that Zhang Hanqing was confused, Cai E enthusiastically pointed out: "This is a flag sign."
Zhang Hanqing nodded and identified carefully, and finally identified a character. He was very pleased, and pointed to another person and said: "What character is the black-bearded man with the feather duster?"
Cai E couldn’t laugh or cry: “That’s the coachman.”
Zhang Hanqing lost his voice: "Looking at his black beard and black face, I thought he was Bao Gong."
Cai E couldn't help but laugh: "This play is called "Tragic Views", which is the most famous part of "The Killing of Thousands of Loyalty". It tells the story of Emperor Jianwen's ordination as a monk and his escape. He saw all the ministers being killed along the way. It is said that The four parties, as well as the implicated local officials and eunuch women, were escorted to the capital. The miserable conditions were unbearable to witness, and they were filled with grief and anger. Since the whole song is composed of eight pieces, each piece ends with the word "yang", so it is also It's called 'Bayang'." Seeing that Zhang Hanqing could not hear clearly with his eyes wide open, and thinking that since he had been staying in Fengtian, he would not have the chance to hear Kun Opera, he explained it to him one after another, and also said a few lyrics.
Zhang Hanqing fully mobilized all the musical cells in his body to savor it carefully, and finally heard: "Split the liver and intestines. It hurts that all barbarians have perished in the dynasty, and there is blood in the countryside. Haha, good head is like a mountain of cars rushing around, it's not like Zhu Wenqingliu was in trouble, so he had done it early The Confucians of the Qin Dynasty suffered a sudden defeat. Adding sadness and sighing, the loyal soul is flying. I am so ashamed that I can only hold my breath and weep at the setting sun." I couldn't help being very happy: "Oh, I heard it clearly, the end of this song is the Yang character of 'setting sun'."
Although I am an outsider in listening to the opera, judging from the audience’s reaction, it should be very good. Zhang Hanqing was a layman watching the excitement, and he knew how to be arty. He immediately shouted excitedly: "Okay!"
But others reacted, and some looked over with dissatisfied expressions. Well, just thinking about cheering, forgetting that this is a tragedy, and the timing of applauding is not right-who told him to be an amateur?
Someone in the crowd on the west side smiled, but it was the middle-aged man. Someone nearby echoed with a smile and said: "Ignorant rats." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Yes.

This sound was so harsh that it immediately tightened Zhang Hanqing's sensitive nerves.
When he came to this world, according to his previous understanding, he had a clear understanding of the general trend of the world, and he also had an urgent need to influence the course of people and things around him. If it weren't for the fear of being too shocking, being directly dubbed "child prodigy" and "half-immortal" would be just a piece of cake.
You can say that he is still young - he is very young to begin with; you can also say that he is a young man who has never been through human affairs - it is true that he has not been through "human affairs" after time travel, but when it comes to ignorance, no one in this world is qualified. so. History, geography, literature, physics, chemistry, military, biology, medicine All of these are all involved, experienced or immersed in, and are orders of magnitude n years higher than those of the time - this is the golden finger brought by time travel. The advantage is that any modern person who has received nine-year compulsory education can do it, let alone Zhang Hanqing.
After being praised by two military leaders, Jiang Baili and Cai Songpo, Zhang Xiaoliu's reputation has spread in the industry. Just by virtue of his attainments in military science, he can be praised by the elders in the Beiyang Department who started their career as soldiers.
What’s more, there is General Cai in admiral’s uniform beside him. Isn’t this an obvious provocation?
Speaking of provocation, Zhang Hanqing was excited: He dared to say and do this even though he knew the identity of the people around him. There must be some origin. Although Zhang Hanqing is awesome, he knows the truth of pretending to be powerful and getting struck by lightning. When his wings are not full, in a place of right and wrong, it is better not to mess with him.
Everything returned to calm, leaving only the babbling sounds on the stage:
A group of men pretended to be prisoners' wives and sang: "The sky is full of cries of injustice, thousands of blood and tears are shed. The family has lost its life, the money has been thrown away, and the wives and children have been forced to move to other places. Ayah Kuga, sighing for the women to throw their mourning in the ditch." Oh Tianga, it’s so sad, even if you live in filth secretly, it would be better to kill Yunyang with a steel knife.”
Protagonist——Although I don't know who the protagonist is, I can still guess it from his appearance and the aura surrounding him. He sings miserably: "It's miserable to hear the wailing, and it's miserable to see the prisoners. , why should the skirt hairpin be caught in the net, and ten clans be raped and punished with new punishments? Even if a natural disaster strikes, it will not be possible to slaughter Huan Guang, and I hate that there are few naked Laos who are drumming and cursing Yuyang."
All the prisoners sang: "For the sake of the country, we lose our loyalty and admiration. We become strong by fulfilling our ministerial duties, pretending to be crazy while hiding in the mountains and forests, and fly to death when we take prisoners. The sky is tragic and majestic, and we have failed the king's kindness. We fight to the death to learn from Sui Yang as a fierce ghost."
The protagonist sings: "Seeing that everyone in the world has been wronged, seeing that all loyal and good people have been extinguished. (Together) The resentment in the sky is overwhelming, and Zhang Duyan is unparalleled in history. I am not unkind, so I advise Guanchang to think about it. It is better to plow the land in Longmu and live in Nanyang." "
Everyone in the audience suddenly shouted "Okay!" Although Zhang Hanqing didn't know what was good about it, he heard his voice was soft and delicate, just like the tone of Li Yugang's "The Drunken Concubine" in later generations. He also knew that this character was a man like Mei Lanfang, who loved houses and birds. Under the circumstances, I couldn't help but follow the crowd and shout "good".
As the protagonist stumbles towards the edge of the curtain, the curtain slowly falls, leaving only the heartfelt voice: "The road is so long and my heart is sad. Where can I stay on the green Wuwu? I mistakenly heard the bells of the wild temple and missed the view of the sun."
At this point, the audience couldn’t help but open their throats and praise a good word. Someone said: "No one other than Han Yun could have performed "The Misfortune" in such a heart-wrenching and heart-wrenching way that it would make people shed tears."
Someone next to him said: "Han Yun's voice is gloomy and desolate, so naturally he is excellent in this play."
The man said: "It's more than that! Do you know what a sensation it was when Han Yun premiered this play! Fan Junbo once wrote a poem in "Game News" which said: 'If you have feet that don't step on the dust of Hebei, this body is built with tattoos. . The idle monk is full of the history of rise and fall, and composed his own songs for palace merchants to share with others. He was inspired by his own life experience, so he spoke from his heart, which made him feel more miserable and sad."
The person next to him realized: "Yes, no wonder I heard that Han Yun compared himself to King Chenliu. On the one hand, he thought he was talented enough to match Cao Zijian, and on the other hand, boiling beans and frying them together was the same as Zihuan's persecution."
This person said: "Hush! This is too much."
The two of them were in the middle of a conversation, but they didn't realize that their small voices could echo in the huge theater. When the bystanders were shocked to find that the entire theater was completely silent, they found that the theatergoers around them had already stayed away. A few steps away, a group of people gathered around him like geese. At the head of the group was a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor and no anger. It's a pity that his feet are a little lame, which makes people secretly lament the flaws in his beauty.
Only then did the two talkative theater fans realize something was wrong. Thinking of the rumors about Master Yuan's lameness and the menacing approach of this group of people, this is not a good situation. The dispute between the eldest son and the second son for the crown prince was also whispered in the streets and alleys, but it could not be brought to the table. Now that he had heard the false talk about the eldest son's evil methods with his own ears, he was afraid that he would suffer retribution.
In order to stop public opinion, Lao Yuan has never killed anyone.??Some time ago, many newspapers and periodicals that criticized the imperial system were rectified and closed down. As a result, the "Shi Shi Xin Bao" located in the Shanghai Concession was banned from mailing by the Yuan government, and was not allowed to be sold to other places starting from October 23, and the visit was revoked. Stories such as electricity licenses are not without rumors. You and others still dare to criticize current affairs at this time. Looking at this attitude, they will never give up, right? The two of them couldn't help but tremble as they looked at the calm and proud Yanshou Man.
The lame middle-aged man is Yuan Keding.
He had other important matters today and planned to deal with them after the show ended. Unexpectedly, the real boss did not appear, but the helper committed the crime against the wind. In particular, the allusion about brothers fighting against each other and boiling beans and burning bean sprouts directly refers to his disregard for brotherhood and his unkindness and unrighteousness in fighting for the throne of the prince by any means and regardless of family ties? The facts are true, but how can you, a commoner, discuss the future royal affairs in private? The clay figurine still has three points of fire, not to mention he is such a straight person?
Yuan Keding looked at the two trembling people in front of him, and felt a sense of power in his heart. Is this the legendary aura of a prince that can make the common people worship him?
He shouted: "In this great situation when all the people are unanimously supporting the constitutional monarchy, there are still people who are lying about state affairs, making rumors and causing trouble, and instigating the relationship between my brothers. You don't want to live, do you? Come and take them all away!"
At this time, neither Zhang Hanqing nor Cai E could speak easily. They were both part of a crowded imperial system on the surface. On the eve of the change of dynasty, speaking such taboo words just to satisfy the desire of the tongue was really self-inflicted and would not survive.
Suddenly someone on the stage said loudly: "Brother, wait a minute."
Everyone turned their eyes to the stage in unison, only to see a man wearing a short skirt slowly come out from behind the curtain. His makeup had not been completely removed, and the identity of this man could be vaguely guessed from his colorful appearance: Monk, played by Emperor Jianwen, played by Yuan Kewen.
Yuan Kewen came out in a hurry after hearing that Yuan Keding wanted to capture two fans in the background. Based on his understanding of his eldest brother's dark psychology, once they were taken away, the two of them would definitely be in trouble.
He said to Yuan Keding: "Brother, Han Yun and the fans are of the same lineage. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it carefully."
Yuan Keding looked at his half-brother who was neither human nor ghost, and couldn't help but hum and said: "One bloodline? You and I are the same bloodline of the Yuan family! After hearing these bastard words, not only did you not wake up, but you also Do you want to help them run against me? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 32 Teasing

Although Yuan Kewen has always been a little afraid of this elder brother, he is still unwilling to give in under his pressure. This is the chivalrous nature of his character. After acting a lot, he can hardly distinguish what is in the play and what is not. outside. He still said to Yuan Keding sincerely: "Brother, it's just a show. If you are busy doing the show and watching the show, why bother worrying about whether it is right or wrong or what is true."
“After all, he can’t escape his true nature as a drama fanatic. Even when he talks, he uses two jokes from opera reviews. Yuan Keding came well prepared and naturally would not let him go easily. He sneered and said: "Second brother! You opera singers all say that 'the real face is revealed in the cry of a dummy, and the old clothes are revealed in the new voice.'" These two people used the topic to play on, If they want to alienate your brotherhood, I think they are just pretending to be a real person! As a younger brother, at this juncture, it’s just that you go on stage to sing at an inappropriate time, and you are still focused on helping outsiders to seduce me. What are you worried about?!"
Yuan Kewen is a typical scholar, how can he be like Yuan Keding who has been practicing in the military and political circles for many years? Being squeezed by him in public made me a little excited. Who doesn't know about the holiday between me and my eldest brother? He has a straightforward and stubborn temper, otherwise he would not have insisted on not being the prince of the Yuan family and instead going out in public as an actor. Even Lao Yuan would not be able to do anything about him. There is something in Yuan Keding's words. Although he is a drama addict, he is not stupid. He waved his hands and said loudly: "Brother, don't you know what I am worried about? Just the day before yesterday, I told my father that I had engraved a new chapter. Do you really not know what I mean? I don't want wealth and glory. , letting Han Yun stay away from the court and spend his whole life on stage is also the eldest brother's duty to love and protect his brothers."
Others may not understand this statement, but Yuan Keding knows it very well. When the two brothers were about to decide the winner in Lao Yuan's heart, Yuan Kewen tried his best to appear aloof from political affairs. Someone said in front of Lao Yuan that Yuan Kewen had the ambition to conspire to establish a heir apparent. Yuan Kewen then implored Lao Yuan to appoint himself the second son of the emperor in accordance with the Qing Dynasty system to clear up doubts. Without competition, Yuan Keding is the confirmed crown prince and has no rivals. In order to strike while the iron was hot, Yuan Kewen also carved a large seal "the seal of the second emperor" to show that there was no dispute. He usually went out of his way to buy books published in the Song Dynasty, and the books he obtained were stamped with the seal of the second son of the emperor. It turned out that he used this to hide himself and avoid disaster. Yuan Keding knew everything about this incident, so Yuan Kewen said this.
However, Yuan Keding knew that he was aware of this intention, but he did not appreciate it. He thinks that he is better than his second brother in every aspect, but the lame leg is a flaw that can destroy all the advantages. Until the day of announcement, everything will still change. His biggest task every day now is to gradually remove every bit of love for this second brother from the bottom of his father's heart. In the Republic of China, according to the customs of the late Qing Dynasty, acting was a very low-level profession, but Yuan Shikai could tolerate this second brother singing to the end. Now, it is enough to show that he still has a lot of ideas for Yuan Kewen and does not allow him to be negligent in the slightest.
" Moreover, Yuan Kewen was outstanding and distinguished from others, and he was highly appreciated by his father since he was a child. Moreover, he is smart and alert, and his adaptability and forbearance are extraordinary. What others didn't know but he knew clearly was that Yuan Shikai's sixth concubine, Ye Shi, whom he called his sixth mother, was supposed to be Yuan Kewen's.
The sixth concubine, Mrs. Ye, was originally a famous prostitute whom Yuan Kewen met in Nanjing. On that occasion, Ke Wen was ordered by his father to go south, where he met the Ye family, got a jade photo of her, and made a private marriage. When he came back to report the situation to Lao Yuan, he knelt down and accidentally dropped the photo of Mr. Ye to the ground. Old Yuan asked anxiously: "What is that?" Xiao Yuan said anxiously and wisely: "My child came to Nanjing this time and found a beautiful woman. I want to honor my father. I wonder if you like it? I will take a photo back to you. Let's take a look." When Lao Yuan saw the photo, he suddenly smiled, didn't he like it? Immediately, people were sent to Nanjing to marry Ye. It wasn't until her wedding night that Miss Ye discovered that the romantic and handsome little Yuan had turned into a toad-like old Yuan. But what can she do?
Yuan Keding believes that Yuan Kewen can endure extraordinary things and should be a strong opponent. But for Yuan Kewen, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and smoking are his true nature, and mixing among actors and celebrities is his skill. She was just a fireworks woman. To him, it was just a chance encounter. There was no relationship at all, just a good impression. Besides, they are all very afraid of Lao Yuan. It is very unusual and very natural for them to react like this under such circumstances. But this incident made Yuan Keding establish him as his opponent, which Yuan Kewen did not expect.
You must know that Yuan Shikai, even the eldest son Yuan Keding, was also trembling with fear. Because Lao Yuan has many wives and concubines, he is not missing out on his son. Since Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the succession edict was placed behind the "Upright and Bright" plaque in the Qianqing Palace. Until the last moment, no one knew who the next generation of emperors was paying attention to. Who knows if Lao Yuan will have any changes towards him? Youdao's grace is unpredictable, and it's hard to see him face to face.
Yuan Shikai, who combined military and political power, is said to have only gone out five times after moving into Zhongnanhai, the original imperial back garden, and the last time he went out lying down.His reclusive life is actually an imperial style of life. In the imperial era, emperors rarely left the palace, so as to show the difference between them and the common people and make them appear more noble. Although the emperors occasionally paid private visits incognito, they still spent most of their time in the palace.
Not only did he copy the ancient emperors in his behavior, he also learned a lot about sexual intercourse. In the Yuan family, Yuan Shikai and his concubines shared the same room under the so-called "duty stay" system, that is, which concubine's turn was "on duty", that concubine would go to Yuan Shikai's bedroom to serve him and rest. This is simply the vulgar customs of a feudal emperor, but in Yuan Shikai's view, this is the real emperor's enjoyment!
At that time, people in the officialdom were accustomed to calling Yuan Mansion "Da Nei". Everyone knows that the so-called "Ouchi" actually refers to the imperial palace. In this palace, the king is naturally Yuan Shikai, and his wives, concubines, and children are the concubines, princes, and princesses.
In Yuan Shikai's "big house", there are various "feudal family rules". Among them, the most important one is the strict hierarchy. Yuan Shikai's first wife, Yu Shi, although not favored, was still regarded as a queen and lived alone in Fuluju. As for the residences of other concubines, they are called "palaces" by the servants of the Yuan family. For example, the second concubine and the third concubine lived in the south, so their residence was called "Nangong", just like the name of the concubine's residence in ancient times.
Although Yuan Shikai's children also have a close relationship with him, they feel more of a sense of fear. When they met Yuan Shikai, they were just like ministers meeting the emperor. They were afraid of not saying anything right or not doing anything well. In short, he was blindly obedient to Yuan Shikai and was afraid of losing his favor.
It is said that one time, Yuan Shikai's eldest son, second son and third son came together to pay their respects to their father. That day, Yuan Shikai was in a good mood, so he left them to talk a few more words and dine together.
Everyone knows that Yuan Shikai eats a lot. When most people are already very full, they only seem to feel a little bit after eating. This time, when Yuan Kewen was very full and ready to stop using chopsticks, Yuan Shikai handed him another piping hot steamed bun.
According to the rules of the feudal family, the so-called "the elders give gifts, and the younger ones do not refuse", which means that no matter what the elders give, the younger ones should accept it and cannot refuse it. This kind of rule must be followed in the Yuan family. So Yuan Kewen reluctantly took the steamed bun and started to "eat" it in small bites.
In fact, he was not really eating, but kept breaking the buns into small pieces and stuffing them into his sleeves. As a result, although Yuan Kewen was not injured, a large piece of skin on his arm was burned because the steamed buns were too hot. This scene left an unforgettable mark on Yuan Keding, and also made him secretly determined to bring down Yuan Kewen. In this way, since the other brothers were still young and Yuan Shikai was old, he must be the successor.
Of course, Yuan Keding has countless ways to disgrace Yuan Kewen, but none of them are ideal. The father's love for his second brother would not be enough to destroy Yuan Kewen's impression in his father's heart, but would be counterproductive as long as he did not make a big principled mistake. Only by touching the thorn in his father's heart can he have a chance.
What is the thorn in Yuan Shikai’s heart?
Yuan Keding worked hard to collect the "evidence" of his second brother's crime. Basically, Yuan Kewen's every word, deed, and move had feedback. During this period, Yuan Kewen kept a low profile and tried hard to appear indifferent to the world, which disappointed Yuan Keding.
"Unexpectedly, he received Yuan Kewen's "anti-poetry" about the old Yuan Zhengdi, and now he felt like a treasure. One day when Yuan Shikai was in a bad mood, he finally took the opportunity to reveal the news.
"Father, I accidentally heard a poem. Now it is widely circulated outside. People say that the Hongxian Emperor cannot be built, and even the Yuan family themselves are not optimistic about it."
Yuan Shikai was suddenly surprised: "What poem?"
I am afraid that Lao Yuan is the first to pay less attention to public opinion since the Republic of China. He was usually very concerned about what people said, but when he saw his eldest son speaking solemnly, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Yuan Keding had put in a lot of effort before he came, so he could recite it very calmly, and his voice was full of emotion: "The gaping horse stayed behind to fight for a moment, and the sound of crickets reminded me to wake up to the third night. It's a pity that it's windy and rainy at high places, so don't go to the top floor of the Qiong Tower. .”
Lao Yuan tasted it carefully, nodded and praised it very pertinently: "Good poem. Today, when poetry has declined, it is extraordinary for a person to be able to write such a poem." However, Lao Yuan was very human and reacted very quickly. He suddenly slapped the table He stood up and stared at Yuan Keding: "Honestly, who did this?"
No need for him to say anything, Yuan Keding would also say "honestly": "This is the handiwork of my second brother."
"Zhi Zi is more like his father. This style is very familiar." as expected.
Yuan Shikai was furious: "Where is that little beast? Find it for me right away!" He was currently troubled by the discordant voices coming from some streets and alleys: Feng Guozhang, his starting point as a great general in the North, had clearly said on various occasions, Oppose Lao Yuan to proclaim himself emperor. In order to lessen his resistance, I lied to him and said it was a rumor, but it was estimated that it would soon be out of control; another important general Duan Qirui even resigned in anger and fled to Tianjin, although there was news that He "closes the door and ignores people's faults", but after all, it is a sign of the split of the Beiyang system, isn't it? Now even his own son is against him, how can he not be outraged? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Where are the beasts? Find it for me immediately!

Chapter 33 Brothers are ruthless

For example, Yuan Keding, who had been ordered by Lun, took action immediately. Through the people of the "Capital Law Enforcement Office" who approached him, he quickly found out the whereabouts of Yuan Kewen - this is not a secret anymore, but it is faster and less detours are taken. That’s all. If he didn't take advantage of his father's anger to cook the rice, he would not be Yuan Keding.
He is so enthusiastic just because in his heart, this second brother is always a thorn in his side.
Although Yuan Kewen had this or that shortcoming, and he was easy to make friends with scholars and said that he "aims to be a scholar", showing his contempt for the powerful, he had no outstanding advantages. Both brothers were spendthrift, capricious, and extravagant playboys. They did everything from eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking (opium). However, Yuan Kewen was good at writing poems, lyrics, and articles, and he was also good at everything. Calligraphy, the words written are so elegant and unrestrained. In addition, he also loves to sing Kunqu opera, and he plays both niche and ugly roles very well. Such a versatile young man has a very good reputation in Beijing circles. The above-mentioned shortcomings are not shortcomings in him, but are elegant, suave and full of scenery.
"And he is the second generation ancestor among the people in Beijing. He has no knowledge and skills, and specializes in burning harp and boiling cranes. The four bodies are industrious and the five grains are indistinguishable. He has taken over all the bad habits of the children of the Eight Banners. Even my father can't stand this.
And he also has a very fatal flaw: a disease in his legs. It was three years ago that I broke my leg while riding a horse and was disabled for life.
???????As an official in China, it is very important to look good. Even ancient officials had to go through a series of "tests of words, words and letters" before becoming an official. Only by passing the test can they truly become officials. There is not much to say about the words in the book. The reason for looking at the image is, firstly, to improve the external image of the official group (that is, face project). Secondly, the ancients believed that "the appearance comes from the heart" (in fact, people now also believe it), and a correct "heart" "You will have a decent appearance, and those who look wretched must also have wretched thoughts (history tells us how unreliable this theory is).
For this reason, Yuan Keding's heart has always been heavy, and he has also sunk for a time. As a father, Yuan Shikai was very sad after seeing this, so he sent him to Germany for further treatment the following year, but in the end his leg could not be cured.
"If dad doesn't make up his mind, the position of the prince will remain vacant, and there will be more variables. Although the half-brother's "second brother" has no intention of coveting it at the moment, he can't bear the long nights and dreams, and he can't guarantee that one day the blessing will come to him. He knew his own family affairs, and with his status in his father's heart and the kindness of being adopted by Yuan Shikai's wife since childhood, he was afraid that he would not be able to compete. Since ancient times, there has been no family ties in the Tian family. Until the moment the dust settles, anything is possible. Historically, there is no such thing as a prince competing for the throne. At least in the former Qing Dynasty, no eldest son succeeded him.
So in order to defeat Yuan Kewen, Yuan Keding will never pay attention to brotherhood. There is no family affection in the Tian family.
But after all, you still have to take care of face: not Yuan Kewen, but the impact on yourself. Even Cao Pi used a seven-step poem method to deal with Cao Zhi. Are people today not as smart as the ancients? If he acts recklessly, others will think that his elder brother is too pushy - after all, he is eighteen years older than Yuan Kewen. Historically, those who "killed" their brothers with their brothers would inevitably be written up in the history books. Even my father would inevitably think that he was using a topic to express himself, although he was indeed using a topic to express himself, and the "problem" was his own.
Being slapped in the face in public, Yuan Keding felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately he came prepared. He stared at Yuan Kewen and said: "My father is a great president and is deeply loved by the people. You are also his son, how can you surrender yourself and hang out with actors all day long? If the news spreads, where will your father's face go?"
At that time, the status of opera singers was very low, on the same level as that of leading robbers. Unlike now, those who can sing a little are called singers, those who perform a bit part are called actors, and those who do these things in state-owned units are called people's artists. At that time, anyone who could make a legitimate living was unwilling to enter this industry. Yuan Kewen had such good conditions and insisted on taking this path. According to the evaluation of the mainstream society at the time, he was "self-willed and degenerate."
Yuan Keding used the tone of an eldest brother teaching a younger brother this time, so there is nothing wrong with spreading the word. However, Yuan Kewen blushed and said angrily: "Brother, what are you talking about? I rely on the audience's support for my singing, and I rely on my words and feet. I don't ask for help, and I don't steal from people. I am fair and aboveboard, I How can you embarrass your father if you support yourself?"
Some people watching from a distance saw that the brothers did not look like they were fighting each other, so they boldly came closer. When Yuan Keding said something that was inappropriate for the company of actors, some veteran actors couldn't help but "sighed" and no longer paid attention to the people who followed him with guns. I love life, but I love truth even more. Yuan Kewen said what was in their hearts, and of course everyone praised him "good"!
The Lord humiliated his ministers to death. ?There were many loyal people around Keding. Seeing that Xiao Yuan had lost face, a handsome middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came forward gently and said: "Second Young Master, what you said is wrong. If the power is not strong, the orders will not be carried out. If you are powerful, you will not be able to act." The president is the leader of tens of millions of people, and every word and deed of the second son will affect the people's perception of the president. There is nothing wrong with the second son in terms of personal hobbies, but if it is for the sake of the country, then it is not appropriate for the second son to show up in public and do this. make a living."
His words make sense, and Yuan Keding agreed cooperatively: "Master Yang's words are exactly what I meant. Since my second brother is a member of my Yuan family, at this critical moment, he should restrain himself and act in a controlled manner to take advantage of others."
Yuan Kewen seems to know that "Master Yang" has an extraordinary status, but he has always been weak and no longer refutes. When Yuan Keding saw this, he felt that this was a rare opportunity to make his second brother surrender, and to show his "big brother's mind" to the outside world, so he said sincerely: "Second brother, my father is very angry about this. As a Although I tried my best to correct the situation, my brother hurt my father too much. Now is the critical moment, both in public and private matters, and the second brother can no longer make his father angry."
As the saying goes, dogs can’t change from eating shit. Even though his words were high-sounding, Yuan Keding, who knew Yuan Kewen’s temper well, felt very happy in his heart: he had done what he should have said and what he should have done as the eldest brother on the scene. But he was 80 to 90 percent sure whether his second brother would take the card. His words were only for others to listen to, especially Cai E, who was not far away trying to compensate Zhang Hanqing.
Sure enough, Yuan Kewen is determined to pursue his artistic path. He understands Yuan Keding, just like he understands the art of Peking Opera, from the bottom of his heart. This eldest brother kept advising himself not to sing opera anymore, but if he stopped singing opera, he would be more worried than anyone else about transferring his hobby to politics. He went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and this eldest brother who never cared about him suddenly fulfilled his eldest brother's responsibilities. He began to worry, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
But the most urgent task is to get things out of the way between the two theater fans - they are all in the same camp. Although he is weak, he is very bachelor: "Brother, I will go and explain to my father. Besides, my father is also allowed to sing. You come here just to ask me to go back. I will go with you and let my father do whatever he wants."
Yuan Keding knew that given how much his father doted on his second brother, if he went back like this, the matter would definitely go away. If you want to arouse your father's anger, you must take the opportunity to make things bigger. The remarks made by the two theater fans were exactly what I was afraid of. Since they can discuss it in private, it means that others cannot maintain empathy. No matter what, I can't spare them easily. He looked at Yuan Kewen's makeup and suddenly had an idea.
He said to Yuan Kewen: "In this case, second brother, please come with me." He looked at the people behind him: "These two people are slandering the president's family in private for unknown purposes. During this extraordinary period, I think they can be sent to The 'Capital Law Enforcement Office' will inquire in detail!"
Almost everyone in Beijing doesn't know what the "Beijing Law Enforcement Division" is. It plays a role similar to that of the CIA in the United States, the Central Command, the Military Command, and the Ministry of National Security in later generations. This is not a place for discussing law and romance. After ordinary people enter, , I will shed my skin even if I don’t die.
Theater fans are still not fully immersed in the play, and they still don’t know the depth. I was shocked when I heard that I was going to such a place. Yuan Kewen's expression also changed and he said sternly: "No!"
He is just an ordinary citizen who has told the truth. To him, he is also a witness and righteous man of his own misfortune. How can he be allowed to go to death? The two opera fans also heard the meaning, and immediately fell to their knees with a plop, shouting: "Master, we are just talking nonsense based on hearsay, but there is no need to go to that kind of place! Please do a good job and give us a way to survive. !" Unfortunately, Yuan Keding's men didn't buy what they said. At that moment, several people rushed up to hold the two of them down, and then someone looked for ropes to tie them up.
After listening to the fans' pleas and the rough tactics of a few thugs, Yuan Kewen didn't know where he got the courage. He shouted loudly: "The universe is bright and the sun and the moon are shining brightly. Brother, do you still think you are king when you do this?" More often than not, his words are also laced with drama.
Seeing him openly blaming himself, Yuan Keding's true colors were exposed, and he no longer had to pretend to be real with his younger brother. He said coldly: "The Clay Bodhisattva cannot save himself when he crosses the river. You should first think about how to see your father!" He ordered his servants: "Take the second master home!"
Yuan Kewen looks like a weak scholar, how can he stand up to a group of thugs who look like wolves and tigers? Regardless of his struggle, a group of people pushed and pushed him away without even touching the ground. Suddenly I remembered something. He had just finished singing a scene, and he had not yet taken off his makeup and was still wearing a costume. How decent would it be to go out like this? Then he shouted: "Let me wash my face before leaving!"
Yuan Keding snorted and said: "Why are you washing your face? The Yuan family's face has been completely humiliated by you!"
Great, this will just let Dad see what his precious son is like. Don’t you believe that after this, dad still has the mood to let him become the crown prince? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)How is your wife feeling? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 34 Cherish each other
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing is a person who hates evil. In his previous life, he once went to the police station because of an injustice. Fortunately, he acted bravely and did not leave any criminal record. However, he was threatened and waited until he came back. Nothing happened. So he understood a truth: a dog that bites does not bark, and a dog that barks does not bite.
Although I have attached myself to someone else's body, the chivalrous spirit in my heart is still there. Otherwise, why would the knowledge and thinking in my brain follow me? What he hates most is that the rich second generation bullies the weak and is unkind for the sake of wealth. The scene in front of him makes him unable to bear it anymore. Even if he suffers a loss, he still has to say a few words of justice. What's more, Yuan Kewen was one of the four princes of the Republic of China with him in history, oh, in this life. For this "one" of the comrades, I have to use my sword to help, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't feel right to be talked about alongside a bullied young master, right?
But as soon as he moved, Cai E held his shoulders: "Han Qing, do you know who they are?"
who is it? He is nothing more than Lao Yuan's eldest son, but he cannot be called a prince now. And in a few days, when his father is buried, his good days as the crown prince for 83 days will come to an end. My father "attached" to Yuan Shikai and proclaimed himself emperor. Sooner or later, he would be written up in history books as a "rebellion against the party". Now he had the opportunity to create some grudges between his sons and nephews, and also left a foreshadowing for the future. The problem has been found!
Zhang Hanqing got rid of General Cai's Wuzhishan and rushed directly to Yuan Keding: "Stop!"
To be honest, Yuan Keding was really frightened by Zhang Hanqing. From the moment he entered the city of Beijing, no matter the princes and nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the civil and military officials since the Republic of China, they were all very polite to him. It was rare that they were so disrespectful and frightened him. His men reacted very quickly, and someone immediately rushed towards him, mistaking him for an assassin.
Zhang Hanqing is not afraid at all. It is clear how much he weighs: no matter what, Lao Yuan will not let himself make any mistakes at this time, let alone his own son. His identity as a proton is a shackle for himself, so why not for Lao Yuan's subordinates? He said calmly: "Master Yuan, I am just a person. Do you want to show off like this?"
It should be said that Yuan Keding, like his father, is a very respectable person and has always been a "people-friendly" character, but his sense of superiority is still ubiquitous in his bones. At this moment, he already regarded himself as the "Crown Prince". Invisibly, he was still very concerned about the outside world's perception of him. Zhang Hanqing pointed directly into his heart, causing his aura to disappear without a trace in an instant.
Yuan Keding stopped his men. He had actually noticed Zhang Hanqing for a long time.
Following General Cai, young Zhang Hanqing has become one of the hot topics in the capital. To be honest, Yuan Keding didn't think highly of Zhang Hanqing at first - the son of a grass-roots general outside the Pass, whose status was certainly not comparable to that of the prince's son. The key is that the other party is just a proton, where does it come from? Beijing! His territory! If it is a dragon, it must be coiled up for me, if it is a tiger, it must be laid down by me!
“But Zhang Hanqing, with his image as a half-grown child, quickly became the focus of everyone’s attention, which made him very unhappy. He is the proud man of heaven, so of course he should be the center of the halo, but because of him, the gathering point of the halo has shifted!
Yuan Ke customized it to stop the noise of his men. At this time, every move of the local princes attracted Lao Yuan's attention. Zhang Hanqing was not scary, but the person standing behind him was Zhang Zuolin! Zhang Zuolin alone is not terrible. The problem is that Zhang is very involved in Yuan Shikai's affairs. If he is not indulgent to his son, it will chill the hearts of everyone in the world, and even Yuan Shikai will not agree!
?????????????????? But it’s not what I want to show off to him: What kind of facade does this kid come here to show off? Yuan Keding looked at Zhang Hanqing: "Who am I talking about? It turns out to be Young Master Zhang Xiaoliu."
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "Master Yuan, this second young master is my friend. I don't know if I have offended the eldest son, please forgive me."
Yuan Keding smiled coldly, if Zhang Hanqing didn't mess with him, he wouldn't tease him easily. But with Zhang Hanqing's reputation, he is not that big. He was slightly stunned and said: "This is a family matter of our Yuan family, so Han Qing doesn't have to interfere, right?!" He said the word "Yuan" very strongly, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the future prince was angry.
Zhang Hanqing is not afraid of him. Once you intervene, you won't back down easily. He smiled and said: "Since it is a family matter, Xueliang should not interfere in the first place. I just saw a group of people beating and scolding Mr. Yuan from a distance, and I thought someone was bullying them. Although Xueliang has many bad things, But he likes to fight against injustices, and the worst thing is to see this kind of thing where there are more people bullying those who are less. Since the eldest son said it is a family matter, Xueliang is not easy to comment on it - but since it is a family matter, everyone is the head of the Yuan family, why do these things have no vision?You are so rude to the second young master! "
Although Zhang Hanqing’s words are unpleasant, they make sense. After all, Yuan Kewen is also the second master. Even if he is not as expensive as Yuan Ke's deposit, he should not be treated like this by them. What Yuan Keding fears most is that someone will chew on him behind his back, causing his father to think that he lacks brotherhood. Anyway, there can be no ambiguity in the situation. Zhang Hanqing said it directly. It would be unfair if he didn't make a statement and spread the word. He shouted at his servants: "I am inviting the second brother back for my father. How dare you be rude and not let me go quickly! Since my father has something to say, can the second brother not go?"
Yuan Kewen was let go, and there were still two theater fans. They knew that there would be bad luck if they left, so they let go of their throats and shouted: "Hanyun, save me!"
Since I was offended, I didn’t think about making up for it. And if you don't bother the two masters, just save these two people, and make fun of the powerless common people. Isn't it interesting? Zhang Hanqing then said: "My eldest son, forgive Xueliang for being presumptuous, what happened to these two people?"
Yuan Keding said angrily: "Creating rumors to cause trouble, slandering, and alienating my brotherhood! Does Mr. Zhang Xiaoliu also want to take care of it?" Regarding Zhang Hanqing's intervention, he was clumsy and lost the game first, and then waited for him to recover. Then we can no longer fall behind. As he spoke, the man's tone became serious.
Zhang Hanqing doesn’t care about his happiness or anger, he’s just here to increase his presence, right? He laughed and said: "These matters should not be a matter for the law enforcement department of the capital, but for the court. Being convicted for speech was a matter of the Literary Prison in the Qing Dynasty. Now in the Republic of China, everything must be done with the law. . If the two of them are really wrong, the eldest son can file a lawsuit with the court; if the execution is carried out privately and the news spreads, people will not say that the eldest son has taken out his husband, but will say that the president is indulging his family. According to the advice of scholars, it is better to let them go. , let’s talk if we have something to say.”
Someone nearby saw Yuan Keding's few words and was caught by Zhang Hanqing, so he decided to fight for the head of the family. He came over and said in a sinister tone: "I thought who was yelling here, and it turned out to be you! I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you?" It sounded like a greeting, but that tone always made people feel uncomfortable.
Zhang Hanqing looked at the man and remembered what happened that day. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Lu Chaibang, we meet again. Why, the wound is better?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 35 Fighting
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
This person is Duan Hongye, and it was Duan Hongye who just saw Zhang Hanqing's displeasure and taunted him.
His face and legs were still covered with a thick layer of gauze, which was a classic work of a group of men headed by Zhang Hanqing a few days ago. Although the pain has been greatly reduced, the inconvenience of movement and the unsightly gauze still make him hate Zhang Hanqing to the core. After all, it was a crime that caused public outrage, and he did not dare to pursue it too much on that occasion. Now, in front of the eldest son, it is time to take revenge.
Seeing that Yuan Keding was very unhappy with him, I guess he was happy to see his success. As for Cai E, you can ignore it. President Yuan Da's proclaiming himself emperor has become a reality, and basically no one has raised any objections——even his uncle, who has always been the most determined, sent a letter of "persuasion" yesterday. Of course, he did it in the name of managing the general's palace, but after all It's an attitude. Of course, General Cai also expressed his opinion.
With this background, Cai E has restraint in front of Yuan Keding. After all, he is the future crown prince. He must have some scruples, so he can challenge Zhang Hanqing again.
Who would have thought that as soon as they came into contact, Zhang Hanqing started to provoke him and directly exposed his scars. In the territory of Beijing, there are not many people who can compete with him to the death. Where did this stupid young man come from?
Duan Hongye pointed at Zhang Hanqing and cursed: "You bastard outside the customs, you don't know how high the sky is! I haven't settled the matter a few days ago, and you dare to slap your hoof again. Do you want to die?!"
Ordinarily, although Duan Hongye is lean, at this age, Zhang Hanqing is still only a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. If he hadn't struck first, he would have been a one-on-one opponent who still doesn't know who is who. . Duan Hongye seized this opportunity and wanted to seize the opportunity to win the game. Obviously he was with Yuan Keding. If Cai E forced himself to stand up for him, Yuan Keding would definitely disagree.
Zhang Hanqing also expected it. Needless to say, I have never had any kind of fight in my previous life, but the experience from others is worth sharing: fighting does not necessarily rely on fists, but determination and momentum. The kind where two people bicker with each other like they are holding cocks, and shout loudly at the same time, basically they can't start a fight. On the contrary, those who rush forward without saying a word are the real fights. As the saying goes, a biting dog does not bark, and a barking dog does not bite. The same principle applies.
Russian President Vladimir Putin once said: "If a fight is unavoidable, you must take action first." This sentence was cited by Zhang Hanqing as a wise saying, especially for a strong opponent who is far different from his own strength: It is better to seize the opportunity than to be defeated by the opponent. Catch him off guard first and take advantage first. If you are bullied by him again in the future, you can at least have fun by yourself first, right? Better than getting beaten in vain!
Besides, with Cai E behind him, he wouldn't let himself suffer too much, right? Once a fight breaks out, even though Yuan Keding's status is extraordinary, it's hard for him to say anything to break up the fight, right? Both of their parents are from the Beiyang lineage.
Having made up his mind, Zhang Hanqing quietly moved closer, creating the illusion that he wanted to reason with him. As he moved his position, he said: "You fucking bully men and women, you are a bully, and I will teach you a lesson today on behalf of the people of the capital!" As he spoke, Duan Hongye was hit with punches and kicks like raindrops. Hit vital points and wounds.
Although he was not very powerful, fortunately he struck first, and the timing of the attack was sudden. Duan Hongye had never encountered such an opponent before, and he began to suffer losses. I was kicked in the lower abdomen, which made me feel distressed. I was hit several times on the wound again, and I grimaced in pain.
Fortunately, he was much taller than Zhang Hanqing. In pain, he fought back angrily. Zhang Hanqing paid attention to his opponent while fighting. As soon as Duan Hongye made a move, he hurriedly backed away. Duan Hongye also had no fighting experience. He just made an instinctive blow, and he used too much force without warning. After the blow was missed, he fell over to this side, and he stopped hurriedly and staggeringly.
Zhang Hanqing was unreasonable and took advantage of the opportunity to hit him a few more times. However, Duan Hongye was an adult after all. After suffering a few losses, he endured the pain and allowed Zhang Hanqing to kick him, and finally put his arm around his shoulders. At this moment, he felt a huge pain under his ribs: This little beast just kicked my waist. If it hurts so much, it must be green.
His sacrifice was not in vain, at least he could be with Zhang Hanqing. Taking advantage of his height, Zhang Hanqing was quickly overwhelmed. But that's all. Duan Hongye was so thin that except for his longer arms and taller body, his strength was not as strong as Zhang Hanqing's. Zhang Hanqing was right under him and hit him hard on the waist again, as if adding salt to the wound. Although his arms are long, they are a laborious lever in a fight, not as powerful as Zhang Hanqing's. On the surface, Duan Hongye had the upper hand, but in fact he was just suppressing Zhang Hanqing, and he was the one who suffered.
The two went from scolding to fighting so quickly that no one in the field had time to react. It was Cai E who reacted quickly. When he saw that Zhang Hanqing had not "suffered a loss", his general's majesty??Show it out. He shouted: "Your fathers are all people of high status, how can you behave like this!" He stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull Duan Hongye away, and casually lifted Zhang Hanqing and pulled him aside.
Duan Hongye was beaten several times in vain, and he was persuaded to move away just as his disadvantage was recovered by the price of a few punches. Of course he was unhappy and clamored for a beating, but because General Cai was lying in the middle, he just gasped and cursed. .
Zhang Hanqing knew that the storm was over - with General Cai taking action, he would not suffer any loss no matter what. He calmly dusted off his clothes and thought to himself: "Mom, my body didn't take advantage of me this time. I hit Duan so many times and was still knocked down by him. I must exercise well after I go back. Otherwise, we’ll all suffer in the fight!”
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cai E is trying to be biased, but there is nothing he can do. Lao Cai is reasonable.
Yang Du and Cai E were old and had nothing to do with each other. He could only forcefully smile and say: "The disciples General Songpo accepted are indeed warriors!" But he was mocking Zhang Hanqing for acting like a reckless warrior and fighting in battle, showing little literary style. . Cai E smiled and said: "Han Qing is just a child. His reputation is not great now, but his reputation will be unlimited in the future. As for practicing discipleship, although Cai is a few years older, he does not dare to be a teacher in terms of knowledge. He can only say It’s just a year-end friendship.”
Hearing that Yang Du had paired himself with Zhang Hanqing with ill intentions, he quietly picked off Zhang Hanqing. The future is unpredictable, so it’s better not to put Zhang Hanqing in danger. Of course, he would not show weakness and responded calmly: "Young man, it's good to be a little energetic."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of General Cai’s heart, the young man’s energy turned out to be used in fighting!
Now that things have come to this, Yuan Keding can’t do anything. It’s better to avoid unnecessary complications at this time. Since the main thing today is to save Yuan Kewen's face, I don't want to get into trouble. Cai E was here, so of course he couldn't force his second brother to go home, otherwise it would damage the reputation he had built as a "kind and kind" prince. He signaled his men to let go of Yuan Kewen and let him take off his makeup.
Yuan Kewen is grateful for Zhang Hanqing's injustice. If his father saw him dressed like this, he would probably cause another big disturbance, although he had no intention of participating in the battle for the crown prince. He elegantly expressed his gratitude to Zhang Hanqing and Cai E, and then calmly returned to the backstage. After that, he and Zhang Hanqing met many times by chance and became lifelong friends.

Chapter 36: Asking for forgiveness

The scene of the conflict in the theater was reported to Lu Jianzhang meticulously by the spies of the Capital Law Enforcement Department, and was also narrated to President Yuan in detail.
Yes, Yuanyuan Benben. As the director of the Capital Law Enforcement Division and the head of the largest intelligence agency of Yuan Shikai's Beiyang warlord, Lu Jianzhang was deeply trusted and extremely alert - a position that ordinary people could not hold for sure.
He knows that the succession of the throne has always been a thunder pit, and once it gets involved, it is difficult to get out. He showed no hope for the brave and greedy eldest son; he showed no affection for the second son who was immersed in opera. At this critical moment, he will not have any favoritism or inclination in the conflict between the two. Everything will be based on facts - let Lao Yuan decide for himself.
No one knows what Lao Yuan thought or did, but Duan Hongye received a beating from his father.
"Obstacle! Why did I tell you not to get involved in the Yuan family's affairs, but you always couldn't listen! I have already made it clear that I will not listen to, ask, or get involved in Xiang Cheng's persuasion. You are my eldest son, What you have done will inevitably lead others to misunderstand that I am being double-dealing, where will this put me?" This was Duan Qirui's anger through gritted teeth.
Duan Hongye covered his butt which was red from being spanked, and said loudly and unwillingly: "I approached Mr. Yuan because of my father's consideration! My father did not agree to persuade him to join, and was regarded as a betrayal by the president. Although my father left the military for this reason, he The power of the tiger is so strong, how can the president be unprepared? I am not in the military or political circles, I am only close to Mr. Yuan, what can others say? Moreover, my previous misdeeds were just to ruin my reputation and let others know. I can't say anything to my father inside and out. If everything ends up being a complete failure as my father said, my father can declare to the outside world that I made the decision on my own, and my father will never be implicated; if the president becomes the emperor, there will be Yuan If the eldest son calms down, my father will not completely break away from the new dynasty in the future."
In the end, it is a tiger father without dogs, and he has a little bit wise. Regardless of whether his opinion was true or false, Duan Qirui chose to believe it. Also, as the son of this Northern Tiger, no matter how dandy he is, he is not so bad that he cannot understand the overall situation.
Duan Qirui let out a long sigh, stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said in a different tone: "As a father, I am very happy that you can endure humiliation and bear the burden. But the risk of Xiang Cheng becoming emperor is really too high, and those who originally followed him A group of Beiyang's old subordinates all held objections, but he could no longer listen to any persuasion, and he was surrounded by a bunch of flatterers like Yang Du. When he really made a fuss, who would wipe his ass? Hua Fu ( Feng Guozhang's character) was not the first one. In June, Xiang Cheng lied to him that he would not accept persuasion. However, just a short time later, this trend has become more and more popular. Hua Fu returned to Nanjing and believed Yuan's deception, thinking that if Yuan If you are in the right position, you will not be able to save your head. If something happens in the future, not only will you not be able to count on his strength, but you will also have to guard against his counter-attack."
He is indeed a big shot, and his deductions about human nature are basically in line with historical records.
Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, and Wang Shizhen were the three heroes of Beiyang. People at that time called Duan Qirui, who was often cruel and cruel in appearance, the "Tiger of the Beiyang", and Feng Guozhang, who was loyal to the Beiyang and good at fighting, was called the "Dog of the Beiyang." After the founding of the Republic of China, Feng Guozhang took the position of Commander-in-Chief and fled to Jiangsu, while Duan Qirui occupied the important position of Army Chief.
Both of them were Yuan Shikai's right-hand men and confidants, but Yuan Shikai, who was good at maneuvering, was not completely at ease with them. He often used Wang Shizhen, who was good at maneuvering and maneuvering in his belly and was known as the "Dragon of the North Sea", to check and balance them to form a political alliance. A three-legged situation. But compared to "tiger" and "dog", Wang Shizhen often regarded himself as a celebrity when he was in politics, disappearing and reappearing: sometimes he came out to take charge of the overall situation, and sometimes he disappeared and returned to his hometown, wandering in the mountains and forests, which was extremely mysterious. He is known as "Dragon", which means "the dragon sees its head but not its tail". He is free and aloof but has no real power.
These Beiyang generals obeyed Yuan Shikai, but it did not mean they were loyal to Yuan Keding. Therefore, for the sake of safety, Yuan Shikai followed the example of Song Taizu and came up with the idea of ??"releasing military power over a glass of wine". What he did was to establish a military system in addition to the Beiyang Army. While taking back power, he transferred the power of the Chief of the Army to the Generalissimo's Office of the Navy and Army. He also established a model regiment with Yuan Keding in charge to recruit all the members of the Beiyang Army. Rookies use it.
Because of this matter, Duan Qirui simply resigned. But Yuan Shikai was even more amazing and actually agreed directly. Duan Qirui never cared about worldly affairs. If Duan Hongye hadn't been too aggressive recently, he would never have had such heartfelt exchanges with him.
Just when Duan Hongye had successfully eliminated the trouble caused by his attachment to Yuan Keding, the concierge came to report: "Master, there is a young man who claims to be a good friend at the door. The young man calls himself Zhang Xueliang."
Duan Hongye almost jumped up—not to mention that he suffered a loss in the fight in public, but now he is still being bullied to the head. It’s really??things.
In anticipation of the great chaos in the country, he had to make plans for the post-Yuan Shikai era. Once the president proclaims himself emperor becomes a fact, it will definitely not be good. At that time, even if he wants to go back and still be his president, he will no longer be able to do so. The only one who can take charge of the situation is himself. Of course, some people must be unconvinced, at least Huafu wants to fight. At this time, whoever can win over the foreign aid team will be able to secure the country. Looking around the north, only the Northeast can threaten us, and Zhang Zuolin of Fengtian is the strongest in the Northeast.
The most important thing is to take this opportunity to find out his trump card. Even though Zhang Zuolin looked very enthusiastic in urging him to join the company and offering his help, Duan Qirui didn't quite believe this. The true colors of politicians cannot be seen until the picture is revealed.
It just so happens that Zhang Hanqing is here. I might as well ask him something. As the eldest son of Zhang Zuolin, it is inevitable that his true meaning will be exposed unconsciously. Come to think of it, no matter how clever he is, there will always be some clues revealed under his own insight. After all, he is still a child in terms of age.
And instead of waiting until then to win over, wouldn’t it be a better chance to come to your door now? Compared with the fight between two juniors, political interests are the most important. The nastiness of the two of them is not worth mentioning at all.
So Duan Qirui chuckled and said to Zhang Hanqing: "Brother Yuting asked you to come to Beijing, but did he tell you anything?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 37 No acquaintance without fighting
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
It is impossible to say that Zhang Zuolin did not pay any attention to his coming to Beijing, but Qirui had already stepped down when he came to Beijing. For Zhang Zuolin, the once glorious Army Chief had faded out of sight. But Zhang Hanqing actually "admired" Mr. Duan, whom he had never met before, and firmly believed that he would have many dealings with him in the future.
"Burning the cold stove" is an excellent way to gain the trust of others, and Zhang Hanqing does not think that Duan Qirui is at a low ebb, he just doesn't get angry due to feelings. With the foundation of his six consecutive terms as Army Chief, he has formed an unbreakable cobweb in the military circles, and it is only for Lao Yuan to ascend to heaven and officially crown him with the "Wan" system. Speaking of his purpose in coming to Beijing, apart from being a proton, the biggest thing was to gain Lao Duan's approval, or at least to become familiar with him. Recruiting other talents is a secondary matter - his status determines that it is currently difficult to imagine that these characters will "worship" to him. That is fiction, not fact.
Therefore, he did not hesitate at all to Duan Qirui's words. He tied up his hands and replied respectfully: "When I came here, my father solemnly told me to watch more and talk less in Beijing, and to look forward to important events."
Once again, Zhang Hanqing lied easily. I wonder if Cai E was here, would he ask which one of him and Duan Qirui he followed? But if Cai E comes, I believe Zhang Hanqing will say it differently.
Duan Qirui smiled slightly and said: "Don't be formal, we are just having fun." In the old tradition, when the elders asked about their father, the younger ones had to stand up and answer. Although in the Republic of China, as foreign trends spread eastward, these rules gradually faded away, and the Zhang family did not say this. But in order to show "good tutoring", Zhang Hanqing just pretended to be polite. However, these actions were very to Duan Qirui's liking.
"I remember that Brother Yuting seemed to be extremely enthusiastic about persuading people to move in. Not long ago, he even sent a message to the president to express his approval."
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said without thinking: "That is something that my father can't do anything about. The president wants him to express his position, what else can he say? But privately, my father told me that it is okay to talk about this matter, everything is fine." No. He said that Duan Shibo would rather resign than be ingratiated with him. Based on this alone, he looked at Shibo with admiration and looked forward to working together with him in the future."
This is a complete lie, but it is very popular with Lao Duan. In the audience, without the attention of the public, you will always feel a little disappointed, even if you take the initiative to step down, this is the norm in officialdom. Moreover, Zhang Zuolin was far away from the customs and had a large number of troops. He could still have such a high opinion of himself, a man who had stepped down. It was really rough and careless. If Zhang Zuolin said this himself, the reliability would not be as convincing as that of a 16-year-old child like Zhang Hanqing. However, Zhang Hanqing did not engage in any hidden tricks in the officialdom. He said what he had to say directly and let Lao Duan I couldn't help but believe that my favorable impression of Zhang Zuolin suddenly increased.
Because only he knows his hidden strength
He decided to accept Zhang Zuolin's kindness. In troubled times, it is always good to have more help, and you may not know when it will be needed. So, he showed a very concerned look and said: "These words can only be said here by me, and must not be said outside. The situation is like this, and any persuasion to the president is no longer effective. You let Yu Ting It’s just a matter of following the trend. Just don’t take too big a step, and make it easy to stop.”
Zhang Hanqing knew that this was Lao Duan’s intention to accept, so he readily agreed.
Duan Qirui suddenly thought that Zhang Zuolin was openly advocating the standard bearer of imperialism, but he seemed to be quite inactive in this matter, and he was already suspicious of Lao Yuan. Zhang Hanqing came to Duan Mansion today, believing that there must be news from Lao Yuan. If he left in such an indifferent manner, who would believe that there was no conspiracy between the two parties? Just keep doing nothing and make things more complicated and confusing.
He looked at Duan Hongye, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Your father and I have only met once, and our friendship is not very deep. It is rare that he can respect him. You and Hongye are not acquaintances, but we are friends. According to my opinion, it would be better for you to marry Jinlan. You two brothers are close, so it will be more convenient for you to take care of them in the capital. What do you think?"
Bowing to the boss is the most popular interpersonal activity in this era. For example, Zhang Zuolin first bowed to Feng Delin and Tang Yulin, and then joined Zhang Zuoxiang and eight others to bow again. Later, he bowed to Wu Junsheng and his in-law Bao Guiqing alone or together, and finally made a fuss. Worship with Zhang Zongchang——and Zhang Zongchang is Zhang Xueliang's sworn brother, this generation is in chaos.
But it doesn’t matter. Now and then, the purpose of worshiping is to promote friendship between the two parties. In the Northeast, it seems that otherwise it is not enough to make people feel deeply emotional. Duan Qirui, as an old man from Beiyang, also has this complex. Of course, he himself disdains this style of behavior, but it is his instinct to look at what others are doing, and showing his loyalty at this time will also be of great benefit to him., and the famous call to persuade people to come in. It is a well-known fact that Cai E and Zhang Hanqing became close afterwards, and it is unclear whether there was some conspiracy between the two parties. So, the idea came to Zhang Hanqing.
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing is not a person who doesn't distinguish between serious and serious matters, and his mental age is not that of a fledgling. Naturally, he knows that there are some things that can be said and some things that cannot be said no matter what. With his character, he would not sell out this famous historical general, even though Lao Duan is a staunch anti-imperialist. However, is it necessary to tell him that she is pregnant?
He rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly: "Uncle Cai Shi doesn't want to get involved in the president's affairs now. The office has discredited him and he is looking for someone to solve it." (Remember this site's website address: www .hlnovel.com
Chapter 38 Borrowing the East Wind

“Oh, this is big news. Duan Qirui was very interested in getting the truth out of Zhang Hanqing's mouth. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Songpo is registered with the President. Who in the office is so ignorant that he dares to smear his face?"
Zhang Hanqing replied: "Speaking of it, this matter has something to do with my nephew, so it's not a big deal. Shibo knew that his father's army lacked armorers, so he finally asked someone to dig out a few technicians from the office, but it wasn't really a big deal. In the corner, right? They are all from the Beiyang lineage, and they all work for the country, but the office won't let them go.
Uncle Cai Shishu praised Haikou in front of his nephew, but the office refused to let him go. Of course he was angry. What's even more annoying is that Cai Shishu also made an appointment with Jiang Shishu, but he was rejected. Shibo knows that my two uncles are arrogant, so they will not alarm President Yuan about this matter. My nephew believes that if the two uncles could really speak to the president, the people in the office would not be so disrespectful. Do you know what the people in the office would say? Unless there is a presidential warrant, no one can release him. Because of this matter, Cai Shishu was so angry that he could not vent his anger. Jiang Shishu also said that he had to meet with the office to find out the truth. "
He said this completely out of nowhere. Cai E and Jiang Baili worked together and couldn't handle such a trivial matter, so they really underestimated them. Although these two men were only known as generals in the office, Lao Yuan regarded them as members of the new generation. Not to mention the two of them, even if any one of them intervened in the matter, the office would not be so careful. Zhang Hanqing had already done a lot of homework before visiting Duan Mansion.
The transfer of several technicians is both difficult and simple. If you really get to that point and beg Cai E for life or death, are you still afraid that he won't come forward? It's just that Zhang Hanqing has his own concerns, because his requirements are far beyond this.
The 27th Division was founded by my father and has many factions. With the rise of Zhang Zuolin, it is only a matter of time before the Feng clan grows stronger, and it will be the same without him traveling through time. You have to stand out on your own, and you can't do it without your own group of people. The significance of what you dug yourself personally is absolutely different from what you will inherit from your father in the future.
Those who can follow my father are the generals of the older generation. Some people are relatively appropriate, such as Brigadier Sun Liechen and Chief of Staff Zhang Zuoxiang. They are absolutely trustworthy, but they also have the shortcomings of being unable to keep up with their brains and having rigid ideas. It is okay to control those bandit soldiers and generals, but modern management is required. The army still has a long way to go - according to my own knowledge, the troops of these backward local warlords will be eliminated by history sooner or later, and it is urgent to establish a new type of army.
Although the number of the Fengjun Army in history is increasing, its combat effectiveness is not proportional - it can neither keep up with the "participating army" formed by Duan Qirui later, nor is it an opponent of the Zhili Army, nor can it compete with Yan Xishan's Jin Army. Not on the same level, let alone the National Revolutionary Army (Northern Expeditionary Army) with firm beliefs. If it weren't for the arsenals and resources in the Northeast, the Japanese providing money and guns, and the endless manpower, Fengjun's rise would not have been so smooth.
He believes that he has advanced ideas, a vision of the overall situation, and hundreds of years of experience in building an army——he has learned everything from the Red Army's army-building doctrine to the beyond-visual-range operations of the Gulf War. ah! But it is useless for a person to be a genius. You must have a group of people who can follow you and keep up with your own ideas or believe in your own ideas.
Tan Hai and Gao Jiyi are close associates and are of no use to political and military achievements. Han Linchun has a few talents in the military, but he is not that evil at the moment. What he takes is his loyalty. Other so-called famous generals don't even dare to hope for it now - generals are baptized in blood and artillery fire. Even generals who are famous in later generations are not born with this potential. Rather than being superstitious about individuals, Zhang Hanqing believes in the power of the team.
As long as a platform is built, even officers who are not very good can still win in combat, such as the Prussian officer corps system. Of course, the premise is to have high-quality soldiers: obey orders, have a firm mind, and be able to keep up with military development needs.
This is not easy. In the era when the army was still recruiting soldiers and pulling up cooks to become soldiers, many illiterate people joined the army just to make a living. These people are all like mothers if they have breasts. Do you expect them to sincerely work for you? Not only the Feng Clan could not do it, but the Anhui Clan, the Zhili Clan, and even the Feng Clan's army, which was composed entirely of hardworking people from the northwest, could not do it. In fact, every war in history often involved hundreds of thousands of people, but the thunder was loud and the rain was light, and the troops surrendered. There are so many surrendered generals? On the other hand, the National Revolutionary Army, whose backbone was composed of members of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, was superior to all other parties in terms of combat effectiveness, and was finally able to reunite the disjointed Republic of China in name only.
Later, there was such an army that also did it, and that was the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army. With their super cohesion under extremely poor conditions, they survived and created the world-famous Long March, which at this timeThe troops on both sides are incredible.
What Zhang Hanqing needs is such an army: it doesn’t matter if the weapons and equipment are poor, or the number of people is small. As long as they have the same ideas and work hard in one place, they will be an invincible army.
Therefore, he needs political talents. Wang Yizhe is a good candidate, but his current foundation is too shallow. In his mind, it would be great if he could recruit such a person. His name is Jiang Dengxuan.
As one of the Five Tiger Generals of the Feng Dynasty in official history, it is said in history books that Jiang Dengxuan was always involved with the army. Although his ability to command and fight was somewhat poor, it is reasonable to be ranked among the famous generals because of this. Moreover, he once served as an officer in Baoding. School instructors are also the talents that Fengtian Preparatory Martial Arts Hall lacks.
The current Jiang Dengxuan is a former Heilongjiang Governor-General Zhu Qinglan. He once followed him all over the country. When Zhu Qinglan was the Governor of Guizhou, Jiang was the Chief of Staff of the First Division of the Guizhou Army. When Zhu was the Governor of Heilongjiang Province, Jiang was the Chief of Staff of the Heilongjiang Province. Chief of Staff of the Warlord's Office and later promoted to major general. Because his subordinate Bi Guifang forced the palace, Zhu Yu left power last year, and Jiang then left power. At this time, he was at home.
This is what Zhang Hanqing heard about, and he also reported the idea of ????taking a chance and prepared to bring some private goods when transferring people in the office. But to invite a major general, after all, it is not something that someone at his level can get involved in. Even Cai E can't take such a big risk, and the two of them have no intersection.
This is the real purpose of Zhang Hanqing's "visit" to Duan Qirui, to wait for an opportunity for Lao Duan to show up. The reason why Jiang Baili was "dragged" into the water again was to use Jiang's weight to get Duan Qirui to take action.
why? Because Duan Qirui and Jiang Baili have always been at odds with each other, Zhang Hanqing did a lot of homework to straighten out their previous relationship, and he also tried his best to take advantage of this relationship to fish in troubled waters.
When Cai E got his ambition, he recommended his colleague Jiang Baili to Yuan and replaced Duan Qirui as the principal of Baoding Military Academy. Baoding Military Academy is the cradle of Beiyang Army officers. Of course Duan Qirui was dissatisfied, and he restricted it in many ways: he ignored requests for payment and refused to resign. Jiang Baili only served for half a year before a legendary incident occurred in which he committed suicide in anger but fortunately did not die. Yuan Shikai witnessed this situation and expressed sympathy for Jiang, so he reassigned Jiang Baili to be the general counselor of the "Military Division of the Presidential Palace", with a monthly salary of one thousand yuan. However, Duan Qirui was the director of the Military Department, but he refused to issue a commission. It was not until Duan Qirui was relieved of his part-time job that Jiang Baili could work in the Presidential Palace.
The office finally essentially replaced the position of Army Chief, and Jiang Baili had a share of the credit. This was an extension of the feud between the two. Zhang Hanqing pointed out Jiang Baili's inability to deal with personnel issues, which also indirectly stimulated Lao Duan.
Duan Qirui's heart moved, wasn't it? When he took office as Army Chief, he was invincible. Since resigning from office, fewer people have come to visit. Knowing people but not their hearts, who knows whether his original subordinates who vowed to advance and retreat with him are sincere or fake? If something unexpected happens in the future, how many people will be available?
The Military Department was abolished last year and replaced by the Command Office, which in fact became the de facto highest military and political agency. But in this process, many of Lao Duan's subordinates were inevitably infiltrated - the six-term army chief and the consistent deputy director of the Military Department (the chief is Lao Yuan Zijie), who can tell who is not Lao Duan? person? Duan Qirui was just trying to see how much weight he still had. Maybe this matter could be his touchstone. Isn't it just a few armorers? Lao Yuan still needs to speak personally? Then let me try and see if my words are okay!
And it doesn’t matter if Jiang Baili is not good. If he is good, wouldn’t he just slap him in the face? So what if you have been serving as the General Counselor of the Military Department and then changed the office for many years in vain? !
Thinking of this, Duan Qirui felt proud. However, he was so scheming that he had already moved his mind, but he never took the initiative to bring up the matter, waiting for Zhang Hanqing to come to his rescue. In this way, he not only sold his favor to Zhang Zuolin, but also took advantage of the opportunity to fulfill his wish. Why not?
However, Zhang Hanqing did not respond, and instead said frustratedly: "The president is personally in charge of the office. I just had a dispute with Mr. Yuan. This matter is basically hopeless. I advise the two uncles not to mind this matter anymore. After all, he is the head and tail of the president, and no one else can say anything."
Duan Qirui frowned: "Can't speak? Not necessarily. In this way, because of the friendship between your father and me, you and Hongye have become sworn brothers, and I want to help you see. But whether it can succeed, I don't know. Be sure. I'll write a note and you can go directly to Xu Shuzheng, the deputy director of the Ministry of War, to see if he can come up with some ideas for you."
The relationship between Zhang Zuolin and Duan Qirui? There is history, but that is in the future. Duan Qirui still has a strong desire to show off his skills. He asked Zhang Hanqing to find Xu Shuzheng, and he found the right person.
Xu Shuzheng, also known as Xu Shuzheng, is Duan Qirui's most capable and trusted subordinate. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is Duan's think tank, literary courage and even soul. He served as Secretary-General of the State Council and Deputy Secretary-General of the Army. He was versatile in both civil and military affairs and had outstanding abilities. If it weren't for his domineering behavior, he would definitely be a powerful figure in modern history. For his appointment as Secretary-General of the State Council, Duan Qirui, who had always been in awe of Yuan Shikai, once had a rare tough move and wanted to turn against Yuan, leaving Lao Yuan helpless; for his part-time job as deputy chief of the army, Lao Duan even lost his position as commander-in-chief.
However, what Lao Duan doesn’t know is that Xu Shuzheng, who has always had smooth sailing, is now also encountering difficulties (Remember this website’s website address: www.hlnovel.com)??Versatile and capable.

Chapter 39 Become unpredictable
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The reason is this. When Duan Qirui was pretending to be ill in Xishan, the envoy Xia Shoukang impeached Xu Shuzheng for cheating on foreign arms by 400,000 yuan. However, no evidence could be provided and the matter was abandoned.
Who is Xia Shoukang? That is President Yuan Da's number one hidden staff. Under the Yuan family, there is absolutely no outstanding figure who has the power for a while. Because of his talent, Yuan's way of employing people is to choose people for the task and want everyone to be driven by him. For example: in Xinhai, when dealing with the Qing Dynasty, Yuan used Hu Weide, Zhao Bingjun, and Liang Shiyi; for peace negotiations in the south, Yuan Yong was Cantonese Tang Shaoyi and Wang Zhaoming; to contact Li Yuanhong, Yuan Yong was Zhang Guogan and Xia Shoukang; for the battle of Guichou, Yuan Chong's second section (Duan Qirui and Duan Zhigui); for Japan During the negotiations on the 21st, Yuan gave full authority to Cao Rulin (Cao was only the deputy minister of foreign affairs at the time, and actually stayed in the Chunyizhai Palace of the Presidential Palace); if he wanted to change the state system, he used Yang Du; if he wanted to control the political party, he used Li Yuanhong and Tang Hualong; in order to When the Model Regiment was established in the army, Yuan re-employed Chen Guangyuan; in the Generalissimo Command Office of the Navy and Army, he trusted Wang Shizhen (at that time, in the Presidential Palace, there were Xia Shoutian and Zhang Yilu, Wu Youyinchang and Tang Zaili, Zhang Zhenfang Si Duzhi, and Lu Jianzhang as agents) ; To negotiate with Britain, Yuan Nai entrusted Cai Tingqian and recruited Zhu Erdian; in order to clear the way for US President Wilson, Yuan actually used the unknown Gu Weijun
But Xia Shoukang is an exception.
He is Yuan Shikai’s most trusted confidant, and the top management knows everything about him. His appearance, although the evidence was not sufficient, sent a message to the outside world: Lao Yuan was dissatisfied with Xu Shuzheng again.
The saying "again" can be traced back to the winter of the second year of the Republic of China, when Duan Qirui, then chief of the army, went to Hankou on Yuan Shikai's order to urge Li Yuanhong to go north and replace Li as the governor of Hubei. According to official practice, if the commander-in-chief is absent, Xu Shuzheng, the deputy chief of the army, should act as his deputy. However, Yuan wanted to send Zhou Ziqi to act as deputy minister, which showed that Yuan had a bad impression of Xu Shuzheng.
This incident was probably caused by Lao Yuan, who was trying to embarrass him or give up. Before, I was worried about Duan Qirui's face, but now, Xu Shuzheng's biggest benefactor has left, and this extremely smart and talented "little fan" can no longer incite Duan Qirui to cause trouble for him.
At this time, there were rumors that Lao Yuan was preparing to replace Tian Zhongyu. Because Duan Qirui had just been dismissed from the post of Army Chief a few days ago, it was difficult for Xu Shuzheng to be the deputy commander——he no longer wanted to be.
At this time, Zhang Hanqing came to the door and said that he was following the instructions of the former chief Duan Qirui. Xu Shuzheng never looked down upon others, but he treated Duan Qirui like a god - Duan was both his guide and his confidant.
This was also the first time Zhang Hanqing met this figure who influenced the early years of the Republic of China for more than ten years. Xu Shuzheng was in his prime at this time. He had a standard military crew cut, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was very energetic. This reminded Zhang Hanqing of one of his nicknames "Xu Xuzhou", and his appearance was indeed very "Xuzhou".
This is not a derogatory term. Calling someone by their place of origin is traditionally a respectful title for that person, just like "Duan Hefei" and "Yuan Xiangcheng" in that era. The ancients also had similar names, such as Liu Zongyuan was also called Liu Hedong, Han Yu was also called Han Changli, etc. Xu Shuzheng's standard Chinese character face is exactly in line with the physiognomy of people in Xuzhou and the north.
Xu Shuzheng paid rare attention to Zhang Hanqing's arrival. Firstly, he had Duan Qirui's autographed letter, and secondly, he had heard to some extent what Jiang and Cai had said about Zhang Hanqing. When he saw that Zhang Hanqing was indeed just a young man, he sighed softly in his heart and thought nonchalantly: "Are these two expired generals pretending to make shocking remarks to increase their sense of existence?"
He looked at the note Zhang Hanqing took out and pondered in silence. Zhang Hanqing also understood his situation, so he pretended to be very enthusiastic and said: "This is not a big deal. If Uncle Xu is in trouble, I will think of a solution and forget it is a big deal."
Who knew that these words made Xu Shuzheng furious and said: "What a big deal! Take me to the General Affairs Department to find Tang Zaili, just tell me what I said, and those people you mentioned will be dealt with immediately!" One day, the Army Under-Secretary-in-Chief had to use his remaining energy. He filled out a transfer letter in his own hand and signed and sealed it.
It is better to challenge the general than to provoke him. Knowing that Xu Shuzheng was arrogant and arrogant, Zhang Hanqing saw someone drugging him and deliberately retreated in order to advance. What a joke, if he could really let it go, would he eagerly go to the Duan Mansion and then come back to the Army Ministry to trouble him? With his words, Zhang Hanqing could safely and boldly collect private goods. While applying for the names of Yang Wenkai, Deng Yancun and others, he also added Jiang Dengxuan's name, in order to enrich the teacher base of Fengtian Lecture Hall.
Zhang Hanqing had already had experience entering the office. This time he was still accompanied by Cai E. He directly met with the actual handler and director of the General Affairs Department Tang Zaili and requested that Yang, Deng, Jiang and others be transferred to Fengtian Arsenal and Fengtian Martial Arts Hall respectively. .
As soon as the list came out, Tang Zaili hesitated. Jiang Baili??Although Cai E is famous, he is only in name but has no real power, so he can politely refuse because the president has said it before. Although Xu Shuzheng's reputation is not as famous as the first two, he is much more difficult to deal with than them. Although Duan Qirui was removed from the post of Army Chief, who doesn't know who is really in charge of the Beiyang Army?
Since the founding of the Republic of China, Duan Qirui has long held the position of Chief of Army. He also served as the Director of the Military Department of the Presidential Office (this position was later taken by Yuan Shikai). Regarding the organization and deployment of the army, as well as the selection and recruitment of generals, Duan was almost entirely in charge. Moreover, most of the new forces in the Beiyang Army were successfully cultivated by the Duan family, and Duan's relationship gradually replaced Yuan's relationship.
Although these military experts are good, there is no need to fall out with Xu Shuzheng. That person is notoriously difficult to get along with, and the meat will rot in the pot anyway. However, Jiang Dengxuan's matter is not easy to handle. He has to advance and retreat with Zhu Qinglan. He has resigned, so it is difficult to use administrative methods to transfer him. Besides, he is far away in Heilongjiang, and it is not very convenient to send and receive text messages. Such transfer must be done through consultation with me.
He then replied: "Yang and Deng will be released immediately by the general office, but the matter of Jiang Deng's election should be discussed in the long term."
This sentence is nothing at all. Negotiations take time. Zhang Hanqing was satisfied with the fact that he had obtained several ordnance experts as he wished, and he did his best for Jiang Dengxuan. Although things were not harmonious, there were reasons for them, so he gave up on them as soon as they were good. He immediately expressed his gratitude and said, "I feel sincere that the director of the department can accomplish this. I would like to thank you on behalf of my father."
However, when Tang Zaili spoke, he attracted the attention of another person. He glanced at Zhang Hanqing, suddenly laughed and said, "Is this little friend the Han Qing whom Generals Chiang and Cai praised?" Zhang Hanqing looked over after hearing the sound. About thirty-five or six. As soon as he spoke, the originally noisy office suddenly became quiet.
Who is this? How could he have such a great aura that even Tang Zaili took the initiative to say hello? Zhang Hanqing did not dare to neglect, and said hurriedly: "That is the love between two uncles, it is the junior Zhang Xueliang." Under the eaves, one can only pretend to be a grandson. In this command office, everyone was a famous figure in the early Republic of China. No one was less influential than his father, Zhang Zuolin, so he could only smile with everyone.
The man smiled and said: "The two generals are not people who love you casually. We in the Guards have been admiring them for a long time!"
Zhang Hanqing understood. The Gongwei Army was created by Lao Yuan in order to establish a new branch of the Beiyang Army. It was placed under the Model Regiment and was regarded as a new army in the Beiyang Army. The first phase of the model regiment was led by Lao Yuan himself, and a total of four brigades of the Guards, two regiments of artillery and cavalry, and a machine gun battalion were cultivated. The effect was very good. So Lao Yuan continued to train the second group, and this time the leader was his eldest son Yuan Keding. In this way, everyone with a discerning eye knew that this model group existed to replace the Beiyang Army - Duan Qirui had been involved in the Beiyang Army for too long. Lao Yuan couldn't believe it.
And this middle-aged man is Lu Jin, Yuan Keding’s deputy and the actual person in charge of the Model Regiment and the Guards Army. The Presidential Command Office has two directors with real power. One is Tang Zaili, the director of the General Affairs Department, and the other is the director of the Military Affairs Department, which is concurrently held by Lu Jin. He focused all his energy on the Guards and rarely came to the office.
What name do you admire? Do you really think that you will become a character just by being praised by two generals? Zhang Hanqing is not so superficial. As for the Chinese, we can think about it from two directions. Since Lu Jin is Yuan Keding's closest confidant - otherwise Lao Yuan would not be able to trust such an important army to him, so can this sentence be understood this way: "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhang Hanqing, who has initially achieved his goal, does not want to get into trouble, especially when the situation between the enemy and ourselves is unclear but the probability of the enemy is high, he wants to get down to business first. But Lu Jin has already entangled him, and it's not that easy to drive him away. He interfered in such a disgusting way, and Zhang Hanqing had an ominous premonition: I am afraid that good things will take a long time.
Sure enough, Lu Jin said with a smile: "Is Nephew Zhang Xian doing something? He has only been here for two months, and he can already go to the Presidential Command Office to do things. It can be seen that the two generals have really good vision——Nephew Zhang Xian This is?"
Zhang Hanqing had no choice but to play it off and said: "It's not a big deal, just go through the process." He had already sent greetings to all three generations of his ancestors in his heart.
Lu Jin was still smiling: "My dear nephew, it's true that there are not many young people who can do things according to the rules. If there is any need for my help, I won't find it troublesome." As he said this, he looked at the transfer letter.
When he saw the names of Deng Yancun, Jia Xiaohou and others, his eyes flashed. "Good guy, we caught all the experts from the Military Industry Department. Did they move or something?" Lu Jin was still smiling, but his eyes had become sharp.
Zhang Hanqing knew he was going to suffer, but there was no way to hide it, after all, he had seen it all. In a moment of urgency, he hurriedly said: "The Ministry of War has agreed to temporarily lend them to Fengtian. We will have another say after the arsenal is operating normally."
Lu Jin suddenly threw the transfer letter on the table and said loudly: "The Ministry of War is making nonsense! The President has repeatedly ordered that stability should be the priority in troubled times, and military and political power should be vested in the Generalissimo's Command Office of the Army and Navy. For such a big matter, How dare the Army Department operate in private! Do they still take the President seriously?!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)He said: "The Ministry of War has agreed to temporarily loan them to Fengtian. We will make further comments after the arsenal is operating normally."
Lu Jin suddenly threw the transfer letter on the table and said loudly: "The Ministry of War is making nonsense!

Chapter 40 Quanwuxing

Zhang Hanqing sighed to himself as he was afraid of what would happen. He speculated that Lu Jin's hypocritical attack was partly because of himself, but the bigger reason was probably to challenge Xu Shuzheng, right? Everyone knows that because the office took over the power of the Ministry of War and the Model Regiment replaced Duan Qirui's position in the Beiyang military circles, Xu Shuzheng has never had a good look, and has used rules to pinch him in many matters. This time I took advantage of the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Unfortunately, I became an innocent bird.
I hate this kind of faction fight the most, because it will make Zhang Hanqing look particularly helpless - there are always characters with powerful figures behind him. How can Zhang Hanqing be embarrassed when he is alone at the feet of the emperor?
Being supportive is not the answer, as that will only make the situation worse. After all, Zhang Hanqing still hopes that the matter will be settled in the end. He chose to keep a low profile: "Since Director Lu has objections to this transfer letter, it would be better to ask Deputy Chief Xu to communicate with you personally. ." Now that the words have been spoken, there is no need for him to make peace with it, so he can just let the two great gods talk enough.
Xu Shuzheng was staring at the empty porch in a daze. Since the abolition of the Military Department of the Presidential Palace, the status of the Army Department has plummeted. It no longer has decision-making power except handling some trivial matters, and it has become an errand agency for the Generalissimo's Office of the Army and Navy. This deputy chief is not interesting anymore. He should go home and start a school. That is also one of Xu Shuzheng's interests.
There were jagged footsteps in the distance. Xu Shuzheng was a warrior and was very sensitive to this. He opened the door and saw several people walking from a distance. The first one was his nominal superior, Wang Shizhen, who had been in office for a short time. Following closely behind him was an old acquaintance, Tanaka, who was rumored to be his replacement. Jade. "Coming so soon?" he thought with a sneer.
Wang Shizhen is known as the "Dragon of the North". He has always followed the style of a dragon that sees the beginning but not the end, and does not want to get involved in party disputes. The enthusiasm for replacing Duan Qirui as Army Chief was not very high, but Xu Shuzheng was able to treat this differently. It's understandable that you're following orders.
He didn’t show much kindness to Tian Zhongyu. Although Tian was nominally a member of the Anhui clan, his position was not firm and he was still clinging to Yuan Shikai’s thigh. Otherwise, no matter what, he cannot interfere with this position. Of course, Xu Shuzheng was relatively accurate in his judgment of people. Four years after the official history, during the Zhi-Anhui War, Tanaka Yu sat back and watched the Anhui clique be defeated.
So, when Wang Shizhen and Tian Zhongyu exchanged brief greetings with him, Xu Shuzheng said directly: "Brother Tian is here to get Xu's official seal?"
Tian Zhongyu was very embarrassed and didn’t dare to argue with him—don’t you look at who is standing behind him? The Republic of China was a very strange era, and the rise and fall of officialdom became the norm. The position of Prime Minister Guang started from Tang Shaoyi, and passed through Lu Zhengxiang, Zhao Bingjun, Duan Qirui, Zhu Qiqian, Xiong Xiling, Sun Baoqi, and Xu Shichang (renamed Secretary of State) in just four years. Eighth term.
Who knows what the future will be like? This kind of revolving door replacement, no one dares to break their skin too much, just for the sake of meeting each other in the future. Xu Shuzheng was dismissed from his post, and naturally he was in a bad mood. It would be the same with anyone else. Besides, everyone knows what kind of person he is, so there is no need to tell him the truth. Whoever wants to call it true will lose first.
Wang Shizhen came to smooth things over: "Youzheng, it's too unkind to say this. Is Zhongyu like this? He is just following the order of the president to make preparations for handover with you in advance. If there is anything unfinished, just Just leave it to Zhongyu to do it." In fact, just today, Yuan Shikai explicitly ordered Xu to be dismissed from his post and replaced Lu Ci with Tian Zhongyu. I had this order and the letter of appointment in my arms, but I was frightened by the temper of Xiao Xu (his other nickname, to distinguish him from Old Xu - Xu Shichang, the Beiyang veteran), and he was brewing this idea along the way. How to speak.
"We have already made preparations for the handover - but there is nothing left to hand over." Xu Shuzheng said sarcastically, without giving any face.
Tian Zhongyu could only hehe. As the chief officer, Wang Shizhen did not feel unhappy. Letting Xu resign with dignity and let Tian take office safely is the role he, a well-known good old man in Beiyang, has to play. Usually, in politics, the so-called "not falling into party disputes" is actually synonymous with being a good person.
The two of them ignored Xu Shuzheng's sarcasm and just asked Xiao Xu if he needed help. This made Xu Shuzheng so angry that he couldn't release it. At this time, Zhang Hanqing came.
Zhang Hanqing would not soften Lu Jin's cheeks. He carried out Lu Jin's words exactly. These unmodified words made Xu Shuzheng feel resentful. How could a few military experts and a mere major general be worth such a big deal? Some people dare to slap you in the face! "You are trying to bully me into stepping down. You want to show my shame!" Xu Shuzheng has such a high official position and does not want to appear to be a more powerful city. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Lu Jin, you will give me a look if you climb a high branch."see? I would like to meet you personally! "
Being able to get rid of Xu Shuzheng's attacking posture, both Tian Zhongyu and Wang Shizhen breathed a sigh of relief. This Xu Shuzheng is an extremely brave guy. I'm afraid Lu Jin won't be able to be kind to him, right? Who is the person you don't want to mess with? Unconsciously, they all gloated over Lu Jin's misfortune, not grateful to him for diverting Xu Shuzheng's attention.
Lu Jin hasn’t left yet. He deliberately established his authority in the office today. The office has military, general affairs, and personnel departments, but there is no deputy director in name. This makes several department directors unavoidably a little uneasy. Although the President has the title of Director, he has too many things to do, so he has no time to stay here. Therefore, whoever becomes the Deputy Director will control the most important unit of the Republic of China.
Usually, everyone is at odds with each other, but no one can do enough to convince others. If Lu Jin wanted to establish his power, he had to take action on a powerful person. He chose the Ministry of War, which had been an external threat and was competing with the office for power, and his target was Xu Shuzheng.
In normal times, he wouldn’t dare to touch Xiao Xu’s bad luck. Today was chosen specifically because as a close confidant of the future prince Yuan Keding, he learned that Xu Shuzheng would be dismissed by the president today. Once Xu Shuzheng no longer has the aura of deputy chief of the army, what confidence can he have to fight with him? As long as he is defeated, who in the office will dare to compete with him?
So even if there was nothing to do with Zhang Hanqing, he would have found some reason.
At this moment, he was sitting upright, pointing at Sang and Huai in a stern voice: "How old is Zhang Xueliang, and what is his position in the military? Do you want him to handle such important military and national affairs? What authority does the Ministry of War have to mobilize such important personnel? You all have orders from the President. Don’t you take it seriously?!”
He was still the first person in the Republic of China to dare to confront Xu Shuzheng. Even Tang Zaili was suppressed, so he didn't bother to question that Lu Jin had actually exceeded his authority. Seeing that Tang Zaili was unwilling to step forward, other departments were willing to let Lu Jin do his best. This was the first time that Lu Jin enjoyed such high prestige in the office.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT He was frothing at the mouth with pride, and didn't realize that the office staff opposite him turned green. He thought it was due to his own power, and he was even more in a good mood.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a loud shout from behind: "You bastard named Lu, how dare you find fault with me! What kind of hatred do you and I have? Why are you trying to trick me like this!" Before he could turn around, he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming, Before he could react in time, he saw stars popping up in front of his eyes. He had already been slapped so hard that he almost fell under his seat. Of course, the other party used his hands.
This time, it was really unexpected that in the country’s highest military place, someone would unexpectedly stage a full-scale military attack on him, the director of the Department of Military Affairs! He shook his head, which was a little dizzy, and as an instinct, he hit the person behind him.
"Xu Shuzheng is in his prime, he is strong, he comes with anger, and he is well prepared, how could he be hit easily?" After dodging for a moment, he grabbed Lu Jin's arm and held him behind his back. He raised his foot and kicked him a few steps away. Since they were military boots, the pain from the kick on the hip bone was beyond words.
Lu Jin suffered a big loss in front of everyone, how could he give up and give up? And if he doesn't recover this loss, let alone fight for a position in the office, he will be embarrassed even if he is given a seat. He roared, got up and rushed forward, twisting with Xu Shuzheng. It is estimated that if he had a gun, Lu Jin would really kill him with one shot.
People in the office looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn’t dare to come forward to start a fight. Don't worry about the fight between gods and devils. If one of the two parties thinks that they are off-center, that will be a thankless task!
As long as our instigator Zhang Hanqing stared dumbfoundedly at the unstructured struggle between the two top military officials, he thought to himself: "It's not like being a high-ranking official means you are safe. No matter how many guards you have to deal with something like this, it will be useless. You are still on your own." It's good to be able to keep fit." I don't know if this gave him the idea of ??exercising. Anyway, from that day on, Zhang Hanqing started to carry out physical training consciously. He lived a hundred years in official history, which may have something to do with this idea of ??parallel space.
Just as there was chaos in the field, a voice shouted angrily: "What's the decency of this? Is this office a place for you to have fights? Do you still have the dignity of an officer?" But it was Yuan Shikai who had a rare chance to inspect the office and see it with his own eyes. Witnessed this all-out martial arts show.
The dignity is gone. Lu Jin's face was already bruised and bruised, and the corners of his eyes were bruised. In comparison, Xu Shuzheng, who was physically strong, was better, but his collar badge was ripped open and his uniform was not so straight.
Lao Yuan felt a surge of anger coming from the bottom of his heart. Who is Lu Jin? That was the important confidant he trained for his son in the military! When he was beaten, it was a slap in the face, a sign of contempt for his authority! The first phase of the Model Regiment had begun to bear fruit, but suddenly a chief officer was beaten, which had a fatal impact on the morale of the army. This Xu Shuzheng has gone too far! He had just been relieved of his post as Undersecretary of the Army, and he immediately retaliated and yelled at his people! If this thorn is not dealt with, how can we establish authority among others at this important node!
It’s just that Xu Shuzheng is not an ordinary person, and it’s a bit hot to deal with. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??Zheng has gone too far!

Chapter 41 Convergence

As soon as Lao Yuan arrived, the crowd of onlookers suddenly dispersed, and Zhang Hanqing, as the instigator, also hid away. It was not a big deal in the first place, but it was just an excuse, so Lao Yuan scolded Xu Shuzheng and stopped.
Xu Shuzheng is Duan Qirui's man. He first "accepted" Duan Qirui's resignation as Army Chief, and then dismissed Xu Shuzheng from his position as Army Deputy Secretary. Some things were too clear. Duan Qirui's status in Beiyang was extraordinary. Treating him like this would inevitably make others feel cold, so Lao Yuan had no choice but to do this.
But for the "culprit", Lao Yuan didn't want to let him go easily. The conflict between the War Department and the office was caused by Zhang Hanqing, so Lao Yuan, who wanted to know the reason, still found him.
"Han Qing, Yuting asked you to come, but I asked you to study diligently, but you are causing trouble all day long. What kind of organization is the office? It manages military and national affairs all over the world. How can you be allowed to fool around here? ?!”
Zhang Hanqing could not communicate with this big boss, so he could only say yes.
“Perhaps he felt that his wording was too strong——During this period, Zhang Zuolin was busy with his own affairs. If he did not look at the monk’s face and the Buddha’s face, he could not chill the hearts of the people below. So Yuan Shikai changed his tone to that of an elder and said earnestly: "You also missed a lot of classes at Peking University. Tomorrow I will tell Cishan to discipline you strictly. I will tell Yuting directly about your performance appraisal." .”
Since father and son had had in-depth exchanges before, Zhang Hanqing did not expect Zhang Zuolin to ask about his homework, so he would not have any burden on the performance appraisal conducted by the president of Peking University. Just making too much noise will also make it difficult for the father to do something - there is always something to be done. It is estimated that Lao Yuan did not insist on forcing him to become a good student with both morals and academics. He just used this as an example, and he would not really call the president of Peking University to supervise him because of this.
“Besides, Peking University is famous for its academic freedom, and he is just an auditor, so there is no reason or obligation to force him to learn anything. But I have to be more restrained in my behavior in the future. After being high-profile for so long, I have to go to school more often.
Under Yuan Shikai’s intervention, several technicians were eventually transferred to Fengtian. It is true that Zhang Zuolin has selfish motives, but he is still very effective at doing things during this period, and he also needs some sweet dates at the right time. Besides, it is hard to say what the Fengtian Arsenal will eventually become. After all, military equipment requires money. Zhang Zuolin's idea was nothing more than repairing firearms and manufacturing some ammunition. As a general commanding troops, it cannot be said that he did something wrong.
As for Jiang Dengxuan, he expressed his willingness to advance and retreat with Zhu Qinglan and was unwilling to abandon Zhu at this time. He was originally deeply trusted by Zhu Ren as the general of Heilongjiang, but Zhang Zuolin only extended an olive branch to him through a blunt letter of adjustment. Of course, he would not change his tune easily. Although Fengtian is several times stronger than Hei Province, several important positions are occupied. As an outsider, he doesn't have anything to lose, so he might as well not go.
In a word, Zhang Hanqing’s face is not that great. However, the generation of strongman Zhang Zuolin was vetoed by the president through Xu Shuzheng, allowing Jiang Dengxuan to increase his capital out of thin air. The initiator of his huge face gain was Zhang Hanqing, and this favor had already fallen into his heart.
However, Zhang Hanqing’s favorite technicians finally reported to Fengtian smoothly, which gave him some comfort. But later Cai E blamed him why he didn't ask him to come forward? With his connections, Tang Zaili might not refuse such a trivial matter if told, and Zhang Hanqing could directly achieve his goal. Why do we have to go around in such a big circle and make such a big fuss
Now that things have come to this, Zhang Hanqing can no longer regret it. Lao Yuan said, even if you endure it, you still have to endure a few days of studying at Peking University. Maybe Lao Yuan was just talking on stage, but he couldn't take it seriously, right? After all, he is the president!
Zhang Hanqing’s knowledge level cannot be said to be omnipotent, but it is still far ahead of most people in this era. No matter in terms of the degree of expansion of knowledge, the degree of cross-disciplinary development, the richness of work experience, and the outstanding insight into social development, they are all different. Therefore, even Peking University, which became famous in later generations, was just a way to pass the time in his eyes.
It’s also because he studied preparatory school…
His bachelor's degree in Chinese before time travel allowed him to get into Chinese studies without much pressure; his English proficiency was needless to say; physical chemistry was absolutely amazing, and you must know that in the periodic table of chemical elements that he learned in later generations, there are still There are many that have not been found.
In this era, famous warlords usually sent their sons to military schools in various places to study, either in army primary schools or army middle schools in various provinces. After graduation, he was quickly promoted in the army, and then recommended to the Central Army University for "further study" in order to obtain a higher academic qualification so that he could be promoted to a higher position in the future. Descendants of warlords like Zhang Hanqing come to Peking UniversityThose who "study" dare not say that there is no such thing, but it is rare. Anyway, Zhang Hanqing has never seen anyone in a situation similar to his.
Because he had previously been known as Madman Gu's "unnamed disciple", Zhang Hanqing lived a very comfortable life on campus: he had no intention of obtaining a diploma, and he did not adhere to attending classes step by step, but selectively joined classes. Listen. The advantage of this is that not only did his short-term study career at Peking University not go in vain, but he also got to know a large number of students from different backgrounds.
Wu Jiaxiang, a preparatory student one year above him, entered Peking University in 1914. Because of his excellent grades, he was later highly appreciated by Cai Yuanpei. Wu is a radical young man who advocates toughness against Japan, which he has in common with Zhang Hanqing. Moreover, both of them are from Liaoning, so they have an innate geographical closeness. After experiencing the unsuccessful campaign to suppress Japanese goods in his youth, Wu Jiaxiang became extremely indignant at the inability of the Chinese people to unite. When discussing how China can strengthen itself, he agreed with Zhang Hanqing's proposal to build a political party dedicated to national liberation and national prosperity, and also appreciated Zhang Hanqing's discussion of the purpose and organizational structure of how this party should lead China's cause.
In this era, building a party is not a treasonous thing. At the beginning of the Republic of China, many groups established many political parties in order to achieve their own political demands, such as the Republican Party, the Liberal Party, the Socialist Party, the United (Kuomintang) Party, etc., not counting the dominant Kuomintang and the later rise of the Communist Party.
“These parties are either just political puppets, or they focus on pragmatism but do not hold real power, or they have poor reputations and slogans and do not have a platform that attracts enough people. So far, no political party has truly had enough influence. The Kuomintang led by Sun Yat-sen has been ordered to be disbanded by Yuan Shikai. The Chinese Revolutionary Party was only established in Tokyo last year, and its power has greatly declined. Those currently active in Beijing's political arena are basically Yuan's yes-men.
The People's Party that Zhang Hanqing wants to establish is a party under the banner of Sanpanzhiyi - this is the magic weapon of the Tongmenghui, the predecessor of the Kuomintang, to attract countless people with lofty ideals. It is also consistent with the current mainstream people's hearts, but it is inconsistent with the communist regime of later generations. Organizations with similar structures. Based on years of development and precipitation, the stability of the communist regime in later generations is unmatched by other countries in the world. The political system that skillfully combines democracy and dictatorship can be called an epoch-making masterpiece.
Of course, Zhang Hanqing’s initial idea is to resist foreign aggression, enable the Chinese nation to fully rise, and establish a country where the people are truly the masters of the country. This is the most urgent need for the country at present and the deepest feeling of the people. Japan's pressing steps on Article 21 have touched the sensitive nerves of the Chinese people.
Wu Jiaxiang and Zhang Hanqing hit it off immediately, and he did not dare to look down upon this younger brother who was nine years younger than him. People are more likely to die than others. Zhang Hanqing's experience, knowledge and insights are enough to kill his peers in an instant. Especially when I learned that this Xiao Zhang was the eldest son of Fengtian General Zhang Zuolin, I admired him even more. Lian Cai and Jiang, two military masters, praised them in unison. Isn't it worthy of admiration?
"Han Qing, your father is General Fengtian, it is definitely feasible to establish the People's Party. But whether the People's Party can play the role it promotes, I still can't see clearly. If it is like the parties in the Congress now, I I don’t think it’s worth wasting time and energy. But if it really makes a difference, will those in power agree?”
This is the truth, and it is also the question of the authoritarian China moving towards a subjugated China. No political figure, unless he has noble sentiments, will easily let his power be restricted. For example, Yuan Shikai, who was originally called the "Washington of China", revealed his true nature in less than five years. Not only did he want to pass on the president from generation to generation, but he also wanted to go one step further, which was shocking.
?? Wu Jiaxiang explicitly refers to Yuan Shikai, and secretly refers to Zhang Zuolin and his vested interests. Will they willingly give up the power they have obtained and transfer it to the People's Party? I'm afraid Zhang Zuolin and others don't have such a high level of cultivation, and even Zhang Hanqing wouldn't believe it.
But Zhang Hanqing had his own way: "The idea of ??establishing the People's Party and then seizing power by force is unacceptable. The country is already in chaos. I don't want to become one of the causes of harm to the country. I will not be a warlord, and I also vow to destroy China." All the warlords, including my father!
Civil affairs require military preparation, and the People's Party also needs time to add sufficient strength in the administration and military. After returning to Fengtian, my focus will be on bringing out an army of the People's Party, and then gradually consolidating the power of the People's Party on the basis of helping my father expand his power. At the same time, the People's Party will look for opportunities to use gradual methods to gain local grassroots power. As long as I am here and as long as the army does not suppress our expansion, we will always form our own strength. The process may be long, but as long as you persist, you will succeed.
"When the power is strong enough, both my father's power and our power have been integrated, and the political struggle at that time will be limited to the party. That is, the West has always followed the rules of the game that state power belongs to civilian officials. The military will always serve the foundation of political power composed of the civil service system, and the country will be governed. "
This is the progress that Wu Jiaxiang truly admired Zhang Hanqing from the bottom of his heart and decided to follow him. After this role change process, he began to consciously cheer for Zhang Hanqing. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Official rules of the game.

Chapter 43 Young people are energetic
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
"What is a party? Like-minded people call it a party. The party is a collective, not a single person. The power of the party belongs to all the people, so I am going to call it the 'People's Party'. My intention in establishing the People's Party is also to expand military power. On the basis of the People's Party, it realizes its desire to transfer political and military power to it. It governs the country, manages the army, and unites the people through the party. I can express the management principle of the People's Party in five words, that is, 'discipline centralism'.
What is pan cooking? That is, all power operates under the sun, and all power belongs to the party.
From the party's highest leadership body, I temporarily named it the Central Committee. Its leaders and heads of various executive agencies are elected by the congress. All members of the committee are elected by lower-level party organizations. Local governments at all levels The same goes for institutions. Within the core organization, voting is used to determine major issues for the party and the country.
Unfettered power can easily lead to corruption. Especially for party leaders and those who hold power, all-round supervision must be implemented. Even if he is the leader of the party, he will not enjoy such unique power as the previous emperor and the current president. Any major decision he makes must be approved by a majority of the party committee at the same level to be effective. If the leadership violates party discipline and state laws, he will still be impeached by the party's supervisory body - let me name it the Disciplinary Supervision Committee. In this way, we can effectively avoid dictatorship, which I call internal chaos within the party.
"But a loose organization is not in line with China's national conditions, and a "discipline" like the current Congress is completely meaningless. China has a mature political structure system with a history of two thousand years. China has a large population and a semi-feudal and semi-colonial reality, which does not allow us to follow the West in establishing a weak government. Concentrating our efforts to do major things and overthrowing the imperialist enslavement of China requires concentrating all resources, so for a long period of time, power must be concentrated - party power, political power, and military power must be held by those appointed by the party. Government and military orders are implemented by the government and military institutions elected by it. Decisions made by the Central Committee must be abided by party, government, and military organizations at all levels across the country. Only in this way can government orders be passed through, power can be concentrated, and forces can be concentrated to do major things! I call it the concentration of power.
“Both freedom and centralization are the characteristics of this party. In one word, it is ‘freedom of centralism’. Having achieved centralization, we can brainstorm and fully listen to different opinions when implementing major decisions to avoid "one word", and can stably transfer power when necessary without causing major political fluctuations; we can easily use everything Strength to complete the goal and unify the mind on the basis of dish boiling, get twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, the formation of the party's purpose, basic line and principles, theoretical construction, organizational structure, etc. requires a long time of exploration and deliberation. However, taking into account the political development directions of countries around the world, if we want to realize modern politics and bring the country into To keep modern society on the right track, it is imperative to establish such a party!
If the People’s Party wants to attract thousands of people of insight in China to join, it must first conquer their hearts and make them willing to join the party and work for the party’s ideals. At present, the People's Party has only one purpose, and that is to overthrow the three mountains of oppression - imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism, and truly establish a new Republic of China that is prosperous, powerful, free, and free! "
At some point, Wu Jiaxiang and Zhu Guangmu came in quietly. They listened quietly and witnessed Zhang Hanqing further enriching his party-building theory. From surprise to admiration, from sincerity to admiration, they experienced an unforgettable transformation. They never imagined that Zhang Hanqing's heart could be so big. At this moment, he is no longer the son of a warlord, but a mentor who points the way forward for China.
This is the first time Cai E has heard such a systematic party-building strategy. It is true that he was a member of the Tong Meng Hui before, but the Tong Meng Hui was just a group of comrades determined to overthrow the Manchu government. They were mostly involved in military struggles and rarely involved in how to manage administration. Zhang Hanqing's words made him feel like he could see the sun from the clouds. In this way, the country will be settled!
Although what Zhang Hanqing said was only on paper and almost ideal, when he saw a childish face immersed in the idea of ??the superstructure, for the first time, he did not regard Zhang Hanqing as a child from the bottom of his heart, but as a child. A savior of China with great talent and great strategy. At such a young age, with such forward-looking thinking and advanced concepts, this can be achieved! The country has hope! He said to Zhang Hanqing with excitement: "My teacher once said, 'The wisdom of young people will make the country wise, the richness of young people will make the country rich; the strong young people will make the country strong, the independent young people will make the country independent; the free young people will make the country free, and the progress of young people will make the country independent." Progress' That's true! Han Qing has this ambition, which is a blessing for our Chinese people! Han Qing's ideal has been our generation's yearning for half our lives. When Han Qing establishes the People's Party in the future, I will be the first party member!" He added Looking at Zhu and Wu, he said: "Han Qing is a dragon among men."Feng, you have the vigor of a young man; it is your luck that you met Han Qing early; it is also your blessing that you can follow Han Qing. "
"However," General Cai continued pertinently: "This theory of party building should not be made public at this time. You should keep a low profile. The domestic situation is changing rapidly. I hope that you will be seconded to define the party's theory, program, and goals and continue to enrich them. theory. I believe that there is not much time left before you can soar into the sky!"
With the endorsement of Cai E, the big crocodile, Zhu Guangmu and Wu Jiaxiang were convinced of their choice, and they were even more eager to move closer to Zhang Hanqing. Under Cai E's guidance, they chose to keep a low profile and wait until Zhang Hanqing returned to Fengtian.
Zhang Hanqing vowed to keep a low profile to the end. Since they are students of Peking University, studying is naturally the most low-key and correct activity. Therefore, the three young elders of the future People's Party unanimously decided to immerse themselves in studying.
Easier said than done. Building a party is not a trivial matter. What Zhang Hanqing had only came from the major party policies that later generations had witnessed and heard, but he had basically no involvement in pure theoretical research. The result was that he was able to "explain" the strange current situation of the revolutionary movement of the Republic of China, but he was unable to play any role in the basic thinking. As the saying goes, he has high vision but low power.
Fortunately, both Wu Jiaxiang and Zhu Guangmu became outstanding figures later on. Wu Jiaxiang was rigorous in his work. He was known as the "Northeast Talent" in official history. He also received a bachelor's degree in science from Peking University. He later became the general administrator of Northeastern University and the secretary-general of the Fengtian Military Governor's Office. When he became interested in Zhang Hanqing's theory of party building, he worked very hard to lay the foundation for this party theory.
Zhu Guangmu is a law major and can make this theory more rigorous from a legal perspective. Moreover, he has a very valuable quality, that is, he does not stick to clichés and uses various ways to explain Zhang Hanqing's logic and put it into writing.
Zhang Hanqing, who greatly admired them, took the initiative and rarely entered the Peking University library, often for one day. He was more enthusiastic than his later school career, which surprised Zhu and Wu. It's hard to see that this major general still loves books, so this can also explain why he has such a high level of vision at such a young age.
They saw half of it. When Zhang Hanqing reads, he mostly pays attention to the anecdotes of contemporary celebrities, in order to recall his impressions of the figures of the Republic of China in his previous life. Doing great things requires a group of fans. In this turbulent era, many people who are about to take center stage are anxiously waiting to appear. He did not have time to carefully identify the abilities and political beliefs of these people, nor could he examine the availability of these people through slow contact. He could only rely on the remaining memories in his mind to judge. Perhaps, after he has been integrated for a while, he will be able to grasp the pulse of the times more accurately.
Sometimes Zhang Hanqing would also ask Zhu and Wu about their views on celebrities of this era to deepen his understanding. Compared with Wu Jiaxiang, although Zhu Guangmu is slightly younger, he knows many characters well. Not only that, he could also dig out the background behind these people, which benefited Zhang Hanqing a lot.
Of course, Wu Jiaxiang’s stability is also appreciated by Zhang Hanqing. For such a big thing as the founding of the party, one must first figure out the regulations, right? Goals, policies, and details all need to be carefully considered. These details are left to the steady Wu Jiaxiang, and then he makes forward-looking revisions. Of course, Wu Jiaxiang will write the writing.
By the lake that Peking University has not named "Weiming Lake", in the ordinary courtyard house where Zhang Hanqing lives in Beijing, you can often see three young figures discussing something intensely and sincerely. Sometimes Cai E will also join in and use his life wisdom to give some unique suggestions or opinions. History will always record that in this short period of one month, a booklet called "The Constitution of the Chinese People's Party" was born in China. It is destined to be earth-shattering once it is officially released! The storm is thundering!
During this busy month for the three of us, the outside world has undergone considerable changes. Lao Yuan has been inspired by the increasingly passionate persuasion to advance, and is determined to advance with a high profile. He does not remember such a trivial matter as Zhang Hanqing at all. Now almost all the military and political officials from all over the country have come forward to express their approval, and the Beijing opera troupe has also begun to sing praises for the emperors and generals. Even the former Manchu and Qing nobles have signed a letter to support his new master. This makes old Yuan full of ambition and feels that his destiny is his.
The most troublesome thing is that "feminist" organizations such as the "Female Petition Group" and the "Women's Political Suffrage Association" organized by Beiyang socialites Shen Peizhen, Tang Qunying, Jiang Shuwan, An Jingsheng and others have also entered the country. Starting in May, these women's petition groups must meet with the president once a month. They go to Xinhua Gate in groups to petition, and passers-by often look at them.
What Lao Yuan didn’t know was that while his flowers were blooming, a group of young people were working tirelessly to make arrangements for his aftermath
??Has the midsummer in Beijing started to be so muggy from now on? It's already ten o'clock in the evening, and there is still no cool breeze around me. I really miss the days of air conditioning! After Zhang Hanqing came out of the library, he stretched tiredly.
Wu Jiaxiang has another place to live outside the school, but Zhu Guangmu has already moved from the dormitory to Zhang Hanqing's rented place. He felt like old friends with Zhang Hanqing at first sight and loved chatting with Zhang Hanqing, who was three years younger than him. He always felt that this ambitious "junior" had an inexhaustible supply of novel ideas and insights in his mind. Age is not a problem. He has decided to follow Zhang Hanqing's footsteps and pursue a career. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)After coming out of the hotel, I stretched tiredly.

Chapter 44 The Chase at Dengshikou
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Peking University is still quite far away from Zhang Hanqing’s residence. They say goodbye at the school gate every night. Then Zhang and Zhu, together with Tan Hai and several guards, run back to their residence. Zhang Hanqing euphemistically calls it exercise. It's summer anyway, and I'm sweating all night anyway, so why not just have a good time and relieve the heat of the day? After sweating profusely, taking a shower is not to mention how pleasurable it is.
Zhu Guangmu couldn’t keep up at first, but after a month he was no longer out of breath, his eyesight was no longer blurred, and his body felt much stronger. Tonight, because they had finally completed various preparations for the People's Party, they were a little later than usual and saw no one along the way.
The group of people ran forward talking and laughing as usual. Not far away was the desolate and dim Dengshikou. Just as they were about to cross Xibeile Mansion and turn into the east side of the street, a car passed by like thunder and lightning from behind. The road was so wide, but he deliberately approached them and almost hit Zhu Guangmu's arm. Not only did the people in the car have no intention of apologizing, but they accelerated forward, leaving behind a string of female laughter like silver bells.
Zhang Hanqing and others are young and energetic masters, so of course they will not let them go. This is too bullying! Tan Hai was responsible for protecting Zhang Hanqing and was extremely unhappy with this extremely dangerous driving style, so he allowed Zhang Hanqing and others to curse at the butt of the car. Except for Zhu Guangmu, a scholar, everyone came from the army, so naturally they didn't have much quality. Even Zhang Hanqing raised his middle finger in the chaos of the army.
It is inevitable to be verbally quick. Swearing always makes people happy, so forget it. Unexpectedly, the driver of the car scolded the group of people, stopped after driving a long way, and then backed over.
This is intriguing.
"In this era, those who can own a car are definitely either rich or noble, and they are extremely wealthy. As Zhang Hanqing, he still couldn't get one - the first car he owned in official history was after Zhang Zuolin became the master of the entire Northeast.
Tan Hai saw that the other party seemed to have bad intentions, so he instinctively became vigilant. It's just that Zhang Hanqing saw that the other party was just a car, and there must be five drivers in Dingtian Company, so he was confident to meet him.
"How do you drive a car? Do you know it's so dangerous?" The first person to speak was Zhang Hanqing's righteous accusation. Before time travel, I hated those second-generation ancestors who, relying on their family's power and wealth, treated the entire road as their own backyard. And after keeping a low profile for a month, it’s time for him to take some action. Otherwise, with Lao Yuan’s shrewdness, he would have suspected that he was abnormal.
For Lao Yuan, maybe a dandy Zhang Hanqing can best suit his wishes, right? As long as doing bad things does not violate his limits and does not seriously violate the laws of the country, causing trouble is a good thing. After carefully taking stock of the people in Beijing, apart from Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui, there were really few people Zhang Hanqing was afraid of. The so-called fear is just to reduce the negative impact on the overall political situation after Yuan.
The car stopped, and a driver in a white uniform got out aggressively, pointed at Zhang Hanqing and the group of people and yelled: "Where did you come from, dare to disrespect the third lady's car? You are going to die!" Only one person got out, and dared to confront the third lady's car. The crowd, which was more than ten times his size, loudly criticized him. I think he was usually very domineering, so he should have some confidence.
But who is Zhang Hanqing? Even Yuan Keding dares to provoke him. Are you afraid of him, the third lady and the fourth young master? I'm still a major general in Fengtian! Young people are the most impulsive, so he relied on his "little" to show off. He crossed his arms and retorted: "Who are you? How dare you take advantage of others and yell blindly! You damn near bumped into me. Why don't you kowtow and apologize?" , why are you so bluffing that you want to fight? Brothers, go kill him!"
Those who came with him were all elites in the military, so they naturally had military qualities. Zhang Hanqing said to cut him, but they really dared. While he was talking, several people rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward to use violence.
The driver would never have thought that someone would dare to hit him after giving out his name as the third lady. This was also the first time he had encountered this. However, he insisted: "Haha, this is Director Zhu's daughter's trip. If you dare to cause trouble, you are not afraid of law enforcement." They put you in trouble!" In a weak position, he finally stopped mentioning the fight and pulled out Director Zhu to make the other party retreat.
Regardless of Zhang Zuolin’s background as a horse bandit, he was still very good at leading troops, especially the dozen or so people who accompanied Zhang Hanqing to Beijing, they all followed Zhang Hanqing’s orders. Not to mention the chief minister, even the prime minister dared to take action. Besides, there were five or six prime ministers in the four years of the Republic of China. This prime minister was not worth anything.
So before he could even speak, several people had already surrounded the driver. Seeing that the situation was not going well, the driver was about to get into the car, but he was grabbed by a burly guard and slapped him with a big mouth. This stroke was very powerful. The driver was used to pretending to be intimidating. When he really wanted to take action, he realized that he couldn't use any strength at all.
Seeing that the driver was suffering, the curtains in the back seat of the car were finally lowered, revealing a young man dressed very fashionably.The son is coming. She shouted with a bit of panic, but with a bit of persistence: "Stop it now! If Director Lei Zhenchunlei finds out, you will be left with nothing to eat!"
When she mentioned Lei Zhenchun, Tan Hai signaled the guards not to act rashly. The current official is not as good as the current manager. President Yuan's position is too high to meet him. This Lei Zhenchun is the director of the Law Enforcement Division of the capital, which is equivalent to the status of the minister of the Ministry of Public Security in later generations. I don’t know what the relationship between this woman and him is. If she is very strong, nothing will happen to Zhang Hanqing, but it is inevitable that these young men will be made things difficult for them. When people are under the roof, it is better to have one thing less than one thing more.
Zhang Hanqing suddenly remembered a public case from the Republic of China. He then smiled strangely befitting his age and said calmly: "Who did I think it was? Isn't this Miss Zhu San arriving? 'A car lights up the market entrance, and Miss Zhu San steals the show.' , the third lady is driving late at night, don’t endanger the safety of pedestrians! People say that Mr. Zhu has a good family background and has a Western style, but he despises human life and acts recklessly, which seems to be incompatible with the Western concept of human rights. If Mr. Zhu knew that he had worked so hard to change I don’t know how sad it is to be a tiger-like dog."
"A car lights up the market, Miss Zhu San steals the show." This is a limerick written by Pu Boxin, the newspaper's special correspondent in Beijing, published by the Shanghai Times. The poem says: "If you want to turn East Asia into Western Europe, people everywhere will talk about freedom. A car lights up the market entrance, and Miss Zhu San steals the show." It tells the story of Zhu Songjun, the third daughter of the family of Chief of the Interior Zhu Qiqian.
A hall in Dengshikou, Beijing, was the center of dance banquets for Chinese and foreign "ladies" at that time, and Miss Zhu San was the most popular figure in these dance banquets. "Unofficial History of the Republic of China" records two short stories titled "Miss Third and the Car" and "Miss Third and the Western Dog", both of which use Miss Zhu San as the protagonist of the scandal. Although the article does not mention anyone by name, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the "third lady" is alluding to Miss Zhu San, calling the third lady the daughter of a certain giant. Beijing society calls her the "Flower of the Social Circle", and "everyone in the country has heard of her name. She is charming and suave, and her erotic affairs are rumored." The commentator said that Miss Zhu San's appearance is enough to captivate people for a while, and it is quite popular for her to be a guest in her bed. There is no shortage of people" Faced with many suitors, Miss Zhu San was in a dilemma and thought of a way. She made an appointment with many suitors and drove her car at high speed. The suitors then ran and chased her. Whoever could catch up with the third lady's car would be the one she would marry
????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off? out of mind that Miss Zhang Hanqing and others are running because they are rushing to pursue her? This was a bit narcissistic. Zhang Hanqing looked at her heavy makeup, looking like a nightclub girl under the street lights, and was temporarily turned off. Beauty is what I want; color is also what I want. If beauty is like a ghost, then lustful thoughts will not arise.
"I'm afraid there is no one like this who exposes his shortcomings in front of Miss Zhu San. Her father, Zhu Qiqian, was a general in the Beiyang Central Transportation Department. After the Republic of China, he served as the Director-General of the Ministry of Transportation. This year, he also served as the Director-General of Transportation during the tenure of the Director-General of the Interior. He was involved in the railway industry for about five or six years. It was Yuan Shikai who One of the most capable people around him even made a silver pickaxe specially made for him. Soon, he will also serve as the chief clerk (i.e. director) of the Grand Ceremony Preparatory Office.
With such a prominent family background, all of his ten daughters are extraordinary. This Miss Zhu San, whose maiden name is Songyun, is a celebrity in the capital's social circle. Of course, from a modern perspective, her style of work is far from that of her second generation ancestors, but at the time, some of her actions were shocking.
He doesn’t like it, but it doesn’t mean that others don’t like it. At least Zhu Guangmu obviously has a good impression of this famous lady who is known throughout Beijing. Seeing that Zhang Hanqing didn't take it seriously and instead spoke sarcastically, he took the initiative to say in order to avoid the embarrassment: "It turns out to be the third young lady. It's really rude."
Who is being rude? Zhang Hanqing secretly slandered: "This Zhu Guangmu is prudent in his work, but he is equally polite when meeting women!"
He didn't know that for Zhu Guangmu and other talented people who are about to or will eventually become the celebrities of this era, the most eye-catching female dress of this era is like this, but it is the latecomers like Zhang Hanqing who have been polished for a long time. I don't like it, or I think it's vulgar. The fashion industry has gone through hundreds of years of influence, and Zhang Hanqing somersaulted from a field of flowers to a hundred years ago. It would be abnormal not to feel backward and vulgar.
“This is the first time in several years that I have been looked down upon by someone, especially a half-grown child like Zhang Hanqing. When Zhu Guangmu came forward, she felt some comfort. Fortunately, there were still some people in this group who were kind to her, so she wouldn't feel bad about her jewels being covered in dust.
Although Zhang Hanqing prides himself on being a handsome young man, in the eyes of Miss Zhu San, the fact that he is covered in dust and smells of sweat will not give her a better impression. Around her, there have always been handsome men with different styles but wearing suits and ties. They are gentle and considerate and are the ultimate gentleman. How can they be like Zhang Hanqing, who has no sense of ambition and speaks out with national insults?
“Plus, her driver was beaten under her nose, so of course she was very unhappy. Beating a dog depends on the owner. If the matter of beating the driver is not dealt with properly and word spreads, how will he be able to function in social circles in the future? She lost her temper in a rare moment: "Who are you? Why are you so rude to my driver?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?How to mix in social circles? She lost her temper in a rare moment: "Who are you? Why are you so rude to my driver?"

Chapter 45 War Drum Beating

Although Zhu Guangmu struck up the conversation later, the well-informed Miss Zhu San immediately realized that Zhang Hanqing was the leader of this group of people. Although he is still very young, he cannot hide his inner-out temperament and the respect that Tan Hai and others have for him. Her words were addressed to Zhang Hanqing.
Zhang Hanqing hated her beating him up. Why, are you blind?
Speaking of which, in official history, the relationship between the Zhu family, the Zhang family and the Feng family is not generally great: Zhu Guangmu, for example, married the fifth miss of the Zhu family, the sister of Miss Zhu San; Miss Zhu Six, married to himself His younger brother Zhang Xueming; Miss Zhu Jiu, married to the only son of Wu Junsheng, a veteran of the Feng Dynasty who had not yet appeared However, he had been born out of nowhere, and the balance had begun to shift, and he did not like this kind of woman who was purely for communication. Since the Republic of China, Western style has gradually spread, but some women simply regard it as physical liberation rather than spiritual liberation.
So he said angrily: "It makes sense to beat him, because he deserves to be beaten! My principle in dealing with things is that I will not offend others unless they offend me; if someone offends me, I will beat them!" As Zhang Zuolin's The eldest son, he was born with a ruffian spirit, which was not damaged in the slightest by Zhang Hanqing's time travel.
"When has Miss Zhu San ever experienced such a difficult subject?" She was choked and didn't know what to say, so she could only point "youyou".
Zhang Hanqing looked calmly at the driver who was being held down tightly, and said slowly: "Since you are the driver of the Zhu family, you must be used to being arrogant and have never paid attention to the common people. I'm afraid that in your heart, A collision is a collision. Based on the identity of the Zhu family and the face of Miss Zhu San, the Zhu family will definitely be able to settle the matter if they pay a few dollars. But you have to remember that you earn your face, not others. Yes! Now that a similar situation is happening to you, can you understand the feelings of the helpless people?"
Zhang Hanqing scolded her so loudly that Miss Zhu San's face turned red. Looking at Beijing, who dares to teach her driver a lesson directly in front of her? Her father had a Western style and always treated his servants as equals, so he would not do such a thing; for the sake of his father, others would certainly not refuse to give her a step. Whose child is this, training the driver like a dog?
She became increasingly angry: "What happened to the Zhu family's driver? It's your turn to teach him a lesson! Who is your father? I'll go visit him in person tomorrow!"
"Zhang Hanqing knew her identity and still dared to challenge her. He must be doing something bad. However, after circling in my mind for a long time, I still couldn't figure out his origin, so although I was angry, I didn't want to escalate the situation. Moreover, she claims to be a famous lady of the capital, so naturally she cannot act like a shrew and quarrel with Zhang Hanqing, a little brat like a shrew on a big occasion - her status is exhausting!
She thought that someone as arrogant as Zhang Hanqing, even more arrogant than her, must be relying on his status in the family, and of course he would not hesitate to show off his status. Unexpectedly, Zhang Hanqing shook his head and said: "When the road is uneven, someone will always level it. It doesn't necessarily have to be someone who paved the road. How tiring that would be! You want to visit my father? He is very busy now. I'll take care of you. Besides, the wind and sand outside the pass are strong. If your third lady's makeup is messed up, it will take a lot of effort to rearrange it!"
He was eloquent and did not curse anyone, which made Miss Zhu San so angry that her eyebrows stood up. She wanted to be frightened, but it was inconsistent with her status as a lady. Besides, there were so many people there and she didn’t look like she had quality (Zhang Hanqing: So the quality is to let you, Miss Zhu San, be arrogant and do it in front of you?), in the dead of night. place so as not to suffer a loss.
But Zhu Meiyun is a smart person after all. She heard Zhang Hanqing's casual "Guanwai" very clearly. It turns out that the country bumpkins from the Northeast came to Beijing to show off their power. Well, let’s see how I deal with you! But first, we have to settle the matter at hand, and then other things can be taken care of slowly. She suppressed her anger and said loudly: "How do you want to make things better today?!"
Zhang Hanqing didn't seem to notice her anger. He thought for a moment and said, "Then you apologize to my brother and forget about today's matter."
This brother is Zhu Guangmu. Zhang Hanqing tried to vindicate him, but he didn't feel grateful. He jumped in and said, "It's not that big of a deal. Let's just forget about the apology."
“Forget it, the mud really can’t hold up the wall! Everyone involved said this, and Zhang Hanqing was speechless. Seeing Miss Zhu San slamming the door and getting into the car with anger, Zhang Hanqing complained to Zhu Guangmu: "This kind of woman, the more you praise her, the more she will rise to the sky! You are too talkative. Isn't it because I have charmed you?"
Zhu Guangmu shook his head: "What are you talking about? It's already midnight, and it's not a decent thing for a group of men to stop a woman. Besides, it's nothing wrong with me. If you don't offend the Zhu family, it's better to stay out of it." He recommended. Pushing up his glasses: "As for the young lady of the Zhu family, don't even think about it. I can't afford her status, haha."
His steady words were approved by Tan Hai, and he could only laugh along with the jokes that followed. But Zhang Hanqing did not let him go: "Brother Zhu, don't belittle yourself. Your achievements in the future will be far higher than those of your own family! Do you believe that as long as you like it, Miss Zhu family will chase you in the future?"
He didn’t say it clearly. Didn’t Miss Zhu Wu marry him later? But in Zhu Guangmu's heart, he thought he was talking about this third lady. That kind of reputation and temperament is really beyond what he can achieve now. Even if Zhang Zuolin is lucky enough to be the governor of Fengtian in the future, he will only be on an equal footing with Zhu Qiqian. Why would he want his daughter to "rush up" to chase him, a bachelor who is nothing? Even if she becomes successful, it will take five or ten years. By that time, Miss Zhu San may have already married someone else.
So Zhu Guangmu understood Zhang Hanqing’s words as a joke, so he said without hesitation: "The Zhu family is chasing me at the meeting? With only 500 oceans left on me? I'm afraid this is not enough for one night!"
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "Don't be so pessimistic. In this way, your marriage to Miss Zhu's family will be taken care of by me. A gentleman has no joke, do you dare to make this bet?"
Zhu Guangmu chuckled. I decided to follow Zhang Hanqing to form the People's Party, so why didn't I take a gamble? The culture of Peking University is for classmates to seek out each other's support, so it is inevitable that he will not be affected. Zhang Hanqing is the son of Zhang Zuolin, the most powerful man in Fengtian. Now he is following him, and he is also an adjutant secretary or something like that. A rising tide lifts all boats. As long as your status rises quickly enough, you can't have a good future. Why worry about marriage? It is no longer necessary whether it will be the Zhu family by then. Zhang Hanqing was joking with him, wasn't it a promise to himself - a kind of win-over?
He responded with a smile: "Then I will wait for Han Qing to arrange a good marriage for me. Before that, I will not consider marriage."
Miss Zhu San was listening in the car. The daughter of the Zhu family was so badly hurt by these two men in front of her that her little face turned blue and white. Hearing the excitement of the two people talking, he couldn't help but stick out his head and said angrily: "Bah! Unless all the men in the world are dead, will I fall in love with you country guys? You don't want to ask, our Zhu family What kind of status do you have, you want to eat swan meat like a toad! I’m not done with you today!”
Looking at the rear of Miss Zhu San’s car, Zhu Guangmu looked helplessly at Zhang Hanqing. The quick talk is successful, but doesn't it seem too boring? He only offended the Zhu family. Although I was destined not to meet them many times, it was a great pleasure to see Miss Zhu San, who was famous in the capital.
Zhang Hanqing did not have this awareness. Instead, he believed that in official history, several young ladies from the Zhu family married as many as four or five of his own brothers, adjutants, and secretaries. As long as I move my golden finger in this world, the Fengxian system will definitely develop even more. Correspondingly, the tide will rise for everyone around me. I am afraid that it will not be whether Zhu Guangmu and others can win the favor of the young ladies of the Zhu family, but It's a question of whether they can still see them.
He chuckled and said, "Why should a man worry about not having a wife? In the future, the Zhu family's daughters will always line up to beg to marry Brother Xiu Feng."
Tan Hai also made a rare joke: "In the future, when the Major General becomes successful, he will have all his brothers marry good wives."
Zhang Hanqing laughed and said: "These are not problems. I have agreed first that I will only take care of the main wife. No matter how many brothers I have, I won't be able to take care of it."
The topic of women has been a good topic to stimulate the atmosphere of men since ancient times. Besides, Zhang Hanqing has always been tolerant and not very serious, so the crowd was immediately filled with a happy atmosphere.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Zhang Hanqing met all "heroes" from all walks of life, and immediately integrated into this era of strife, so he almost never met anyone of the opposite sex in the true sense. This is very depressing for a man with an extremely mature mind and a young and strong body. If Zhang Hanqing hadn't had time to think about this because of the fast-paced changes in life, he would have already joined the women's liberation movement. Now, it is rare for Miss Zhu San to break into my life, so of course she will use the topic to make some use of it. If you can't do anything, you have to get through it, right?
Others are not much better. The soldiers are all young people who are struggling. It is better in the military camp. After spending a long time in the bustling and bustling place of Beijing, and often visiting some "irregular" places with Zhang Hanqing, it was inevitable that I would have some thoughts on my body. Therefore, no one felt that Zhang Hanqing's dirty jokes had tainted his status as a "student", but that they were right for their taste. So the guard next to him laughed and said, "It's enough if you can afford one wife, but why do you expect three wives and four concubines?"
Zhang Hanqing smiled and nodded and said, "It is always good to make your brothers happy. As long as you work hard in the future, it is not impossible to marry two more wives."
A bunch of them were bragging here, and they never imagined that Miss Zhu San’s car was coming back with the lights flickering in the distance. But what was different from before was that there were several running policemen behind her car. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The third lady’s car is back again.

Chapter 46 Danger
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
"Trouble," was the first reaction of Zhu Guangmu and others. In any case, it seems a bit unethical for a lot of men to come to entertain a girl at midnight. What's more, this girl's family background is not simple. It can be seen from the fact that she brought people to "counterattack" so quickly.
Zhang Hanqing didn’t care. The spring breeze is blowing and the war drums are beating. Who is afraid of whom in today’s society? Because Zhang Zuolin was the first to persuade him to join, my father had the word "Yuan" engraved on his forehead, and he was privately rated as one of the Yuan family's thirteen eunuchs. The more enjoyable it is now, the more enjoyable the retribution will be in the future. Lao Yuan Tatai will happen shortly after this year. It is time to eliminate part of the impact in advance.
"But it's hard to close the water, and it's impossible to retreat if the rapids surge. It's like a tightened spring. If it shoots out, it will hurt people, but if it is closed quickly, it will also bounce on itself. The total plan between father and son is to make grain out of fire, and they need to take risks. Aren't they still being held as hostages?
The only way he could think of was to mess around in Beijing. In the absence of Lao Zhang, Lao Yuan is the number one responsible person morally. As long as it does not involve politics, he will always make sure he lands safely. Otherwise, he would not dare to compete with the prince Yuan Keding or compete with Duan Hongye. The purpose is to make Lao Yuan a headache for him, and then he can be legitimately "driven" back to Fengtian by him.
Today is also a coincidence. Miss Zhu San didn't come, and she found some other person to oppose her. So seeing Miss Zhu San getting out of the car triumphantly, Zhang Hanqing secretly felt great. Children's quarrels will not come to the fore anyway, so let's do it.
So when the police came to them with serious faces, Zhang Hanqing didn't take it seriously. I heard Miss Zhu San say loudly: "They were the ones who not only blocked our car, but also beat up my driver."
It seems that the policemen all know the famous Miss Zhu San, so they deeply sympathize with her experience. Then a leader-looking man came over and said, "Who among you beat him? Don't let me identify him."
He glanced away from Zhang Hanqing, and when he saw that it was a half-grown child, he turned to Zhu Guangmu; when he saw Zhu Guangmu's gentle face, he shook his head and stared at Tan Hai. Among this group of people, Tan Hai is tall and powerful, and he has the conditions to commit crimes at first glance. He pointed his hand and asked sternly: "Is it you?!"
Tan Hai really didn’t take action. The one who took action was another Lei Mou who was originally Zhang Zuolin’s bodyguard. Although he was appointed to guard Zhang Hanqing's head, he was not a soldier brought by Zhang Zuolin. Before he became the captain of the guard, he was a shoemaker. However, although he does not have much experience, he knows the responsibility of stepping forward - since people are under his control, he naturally has to take the lead. He nodded immediately: "It's me."
The police chief also thought that Tan Hai was honest and easy to bully——although he was a little stronger, he had a kind face. Unlike several other people, they all have thick faces. Zhang Hanqing was too young, and although Zhu Guangmu was sweating from running, his clothes were still decent, so they were naturally excluded.
Seeing that he admitted it, the police leader showed his fierce look and waved his hand: "Come on, tie up this attacker and take him to the police station for questioning!"
There were two policemen trying to untie the rope from their waists. When Miss Zhu San saw this, she smiled proudly. Once you enter the police station, you must teach them a lesson. Although Tan Hai was not the direct perpetrator of the beating of the driver, he was satisfied if he could breathe out. Beijing is the territory of Beijingers!
Zhang Hanqing squinted at the policeman who was about to arrest him, and said calmly: "Are you going to kidnap someone? Have you asked me?" Beating someone is wrong, but the policeman obviously followed Miss Zhu San's lead, which was unpleasant. A slap in the face can't make a difference. As a public security organ, it has to ask questions, right?
The police leader seemed to have taken a serious look at this handsome young man for the first time. Although Zhang Hanqing's body was rated as one of the four most beautiful men in the Republic of China in later generations, it seemed a little green at this time. For a man, There is no feeling. The leader said proudly: "When I take someone, do I have to ask you?"
Zhang Hanqing chuckled and said, "There is only one person in the world who can call me Lao Tzu. Just saying this to you, you should fight!" He made a decision in an instant. It would be pointless to fight with a woman named Miss Zhu San. He wanted to fight. Just fight the hard one! Three or five police officers also want to show off in front of him?
He waved his hand, and several guards jumped out to confront the two policemen. These are all people selected by Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Hanqing must be the only one who obeys them. They don't care who you are. It is a conditioned reflex to follow orders.
The police chief was taken aback and realized that this young man was not simple. I was too trusting and only brought these brothers here. I didn't want to suffer the loss in front of me. He laughed dryly, signaled the two policemen to step back, then said with a smile: "What are you doing? It's just a question" He slowly took two steps back, suddenly took off the long gun on his back, pointed it at Zhang Hanqing, and viciously Said: "I need youA gun? "
Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Zhang Hanqing clearly heard the sound of bullets being loaded. At this moment, his mind went blank. When I came to the Republic of China, this was the first time I faced a gun. Although I have seen countless scenes of holding guns in movies and TV shows, they are far less realistic than this time.
Tan Hai and others were shocked. Zhang Hanqing was restrained by Yihe and did not dare to move. Who knows what to do if the gun goes off accidentally?
Even Miss Zhu San is in disgrace. She just came to take a breath, but didn't want to hurt anyone. Even though the evolution of this matter actually had nothing to do with her, she still felt her heart beating faster and didn't know what to do.
After taking a moment to calm down, Zhang Hanqing gradually calmed down. There is no way to avoid disaster. No matter what you do at this time, you can't avoid the fact that his head is already under the gunpoint. He didn't believe that the police dared to shoot - he had no grievances against him, and he was not a repeat offender. The police should have their own rules, right? Speaking of it, the rules of the Republic of China seem to be greater than those of later generations. Look, Lu Xun wrote so many articles criticizing the authorities, why didn't he live a good old age? I, Zhang Hanqing, didn't do anything, so why am I dying?
If Miss Zhu San is not here, he may be surprised to defend. It's a pity that there is a woman here, and he will never lower his head. On the contrary, he said very bachelorly: "How dare you point a gun at my head! Try firing a shot!"
Men, there are things you can do and things you shouldn’t do. What would the guards think if I gave in first? What would Zhu Guangmu think? The key is what will Miss Zhu San think of him? Although I don't have any good impressions of this third lady, she is of the opposite sex at least.
Tan Hai and others were surprised. Isn’t this just asking for abuse? Miss Zhu San didn't seem to expect that this inconspicuous half-year-old child was still very stubborn. Even the police leader was surprised and asked in disbelief: "You asked me to shoot?"
"Stop talking nonsense, shoot here if you have the guts!" Zhang Hanqing suddenly became single, he pointed at his temple and said viciously. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 47 Prank
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Since I came to this world, although I have occasionally shocked everyone with my words, most of the time I have been very low-key, so low-key that I feel depressed. I will lead troops to fight in the future, how can I do it without a little bit of banditry? And he didn't believe it anymore. President Yuan didn't do anything to him, so a little police leader could beat him back to his original form? If you really want to do this, don’t be afraid, just treat it as an interstellar shuttle. If you are destined to be unable to contribute to the rise of China, then go back to that world and continue your happy life in peaceful times!
In an instant, Zhang Hanqing's image grew taller in the minds of Tan Hai and others. Even Zhu Guangmu was surprised by his courage. He was risking his life! "The tiger in the door"! Such words came to several people's minds at the same time. However, as Zhang Hanqing's bodyguards, they knew what they were going to do.
While the police were concentrating on dealing with Zhang Hanqing, Tan Hai quickly pulled out his pistol, loaded it with bullets at an extremely fast speed, then leaned close to the police leader's ear and said harshly: "Put the fucking gun down!"
He is responsible for protecting the Major General, but now he has a gun pointed at his head. The danger is obvious. At this moment, Tan Hai could no longer care about the impact and consequences. If Zhang Hanqing made a mistake, he would die forever. When he arrived, his uncle Zhang Zuoxiang earnestly asked him to protect the safety of the young general. He is a person who knows how to repay kindness. He will stand up for Zhang Zuoxiang's kindness in taking him in and Zhang Hanqing's kindness. So he reacted very quickly, and he inevitably swore when he was excited.
The police chief was terrified. He used this gun to suppress people from all walks of life in Zhongcheng District, and it worked repeatedly. You must know that guns are extremely precious these days. China has no ability to manufacture them. The army relies on buying them from foreigners. As a police officer, ropes and batons are basically standard equipment, and long guns are rare items. Only for night patrols, he, the leader, applied for one.
He could also see that Zhang Hanqing was the leader of their group. Originally, he just saw that Zhang Hanqing was young, so he took out a gun to scare people and avoid a crowd of people. I didn’t expect Zhang Hanqing to be so courageous, and the people around him also had guns!
This group of people is definitely not simple! At this moment, the police leader decided one thing, and that was to put down his gun obediently to prevent things from developing into a worse direction.
A gun is a murder weapon. If——he assumes that it is legal for this group of people to hold guns, it means that the young man in front of him has a very deep background and is definitely not someone he can offend. His people may actually shoot in a critical state. In this case, you can completely shift the responsibility to yourself - after all, you were the one who fired the gun first.
If this group of people are bad guys, let alone hand over their guns and give up resistance. Although the salary provided by the government is okay, it is not worth becoming a martyr for this. After all, the job belongs to the government and your life is yours.
In this case, he chose to give up the struggle. However, when unloading the gun, he boldly asked: "May I ask what you do?"
Zhang Hanqing, who was out of danger, rubbed his hands and said coldly: "It doesn't matter what we do. The key is that you need to know what the gun the government issued to you is for. You shot at us indiscriminately." , if you are killed directly, you will bring it upon yourself! Are the people raising you just to make you domineering and prosperous?"
The more righteous he said, the more the police chief became sweaty. Although I don’t know who this great god is, I don’t know who is the son of a high-ranking official within the system who can tell this great truth. Also, whoever dares to go against Miss Zhu San doesn't have a lot of brushes? He regretted that he had pushed ahead.
Several policemen were ordered to squat on the roadside obediently. At this time, it was Miss Zhu San's turn to be scared. She had never seen such a scene before. At this moment, she suddenly remembered that the young man mentioned coming from outside the customs. Could it be a beard? Thinking of Tan Hai's fierceness and Zhang Hanqing's fearlessness, she felt sad in her heart.
Since the Republic of China, bandits in Guandong have been in turmoil one after another, with hundreds of groups large and small. They haunt the deep mountains and old forests, and they are all cavalry. Their elusiveness makes it difficult for the government to guard against them. It wasn't until Zhao Erxun became the governor of the three eastern provinces that he used the method of using bandits to control bandits and recruited a group of very powerful gangsters to serve the government, of which Zhang Zuolin was the representative.
It turns out that one thing brings down another. The government, which originally had no way to deal with Hu Hu, finally found a leading party because of the surrender of Zhang Zuolin and others. Over the past few years, most of the gangsters have been basically wiped out, and Zhang Zuolin has also expanded his influence and been promoted to official positions.
However, the impact of banditry is still huge, and there are still some bearded men who choose to keep a low profile or stay away from the mountains. The area outside the customs was so large that it was extremely difficult to eradicate it. Miss Zhu San thought it was a bandit who had escaped. Even the policemen with guns were arrested. What room for resistance did she, a weak woman, have? Looking at the dark muzzle of Tan Hai's gun, her sharp teeth disappeared for the first time.? exerting its effect, she said in utter horror: "What are you going to do?"
Zhang Hanqing looked at Miss Zhu San’s frightened face, and his pride was inevitably beyond words. Just because the police are there, you can do whatever you want? Take off the mask and you are just a timid and helpless wretch. Following her words, he deliberately let out a miserable laugh: "What are you doing? What do you think? Hehehehe."
He still couldn't get rid of the mischievous mentality, but Miss Zhu San was so frightened that her face turned pale. She trembled and said with a cry: "If you want money, I will ask people to give you a lot of ransom, and I won't tell others. I just ask Let me go"
"Ransom?" Zhang Hanqing was stunned: Where the hell did he think of this? Is he such a person? He looked at the guards who were looking fiercely at the police. He probably knew that Miss Zhu San had misunderstood their identities, so he didn't point it out. Instead, he said in a lewd way: "I don't want money, I just want you to be my fortress." Madam!" This is the most enjoyable sentence I have ever seen in my previous life. Anyway, basically all the movies featuring heroines and mountain kings will have more or less such a joke. Are men's martial arts plots all based on this? Zhang Hanqing wasn't sure, but his next superfluous words revealed his secret: "Take all these policemen up the mountain together. The fat ones will be made into scalper stuffing, and the thin ones will be made into buffalo stuffing."
Miss Zhu San recovered her composure from the initial panic. It is true that there are bandits outside the customs, but this is Beijing! It's thousands of miles across Shanhaiguan and the Liaoxi Corridor. What kind of bandits can get here? And how could they have the courage to cause chaos in the most heavily guarded city, and their target is only themselves, who are not very "valuable"! She was just scared at first, not stupid!
Just as the spiritual platform moved, she heard Zhang Hanqing's bold words again. Since the Republic of China, I have seen many dramas such as "The King's Robbery" and "Water Margin", which involve robbing homes and homes, so she must have understood the meaning, so she seemed shocked.
"I'm shocked because she is already over ten years old and can get married and have children in this era, and this little brat Zhang Hanqing wants to steal her as his wife!" She changed her panicked look and said coldly: "Does your family know that you are doing this?"
After being seen through, Zhang Hanqing became discouraged. His original intention was to prank her. Woman, your name is weak, don't play like this. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Zhu Qiqian has no doubt about this. As a popular figure in front of Lao Yuan, aren't there many people from all over the world who have extended an olive branch to him? Didn't Feng Delin, a strongman in the Fengtian Army, personally bring his son to celebrate his daughter's birthday? You still have to be the host to your death. If he didn't think that Feng was too old and too pedantic, the balance in his heart would definitely fall in Feng's favor.
Thinking of Feng Delin, Zhu Qiqian couldn't help but turn his eyes to the table, and unexpectedly met Feng Delin's eyes. At this time, Feng Zheng stood up and walked towards this side with his son.
For this opportunity to get close to the central officials, Feng Delin gave Zhu Qiqian enough face to finally get a seat. Thinking about it, if Zhu Qiqian is involved from now on, his chances of winning in the competition with Zhang Zuolin for the future King of Fengtian will be much higher, and he is still somewhat proud. Until Zhang Hanqing appeared by mistake and took the throne in a grand manner, no one knew the meaning of it.
I didn’t expect Zhu Qiqian to reject him so clearly, so of course I felt very unhappy. He is a shrewd man. Although Zhu Qiqian agreed, he suddenly made Zhang Hanqing the chief, and his intentions were known with his toes. He didn't know that Zhu Qiqian had also been tricked into doing bad things with good intentions. If he had known Zhang Hanqing's identity in advance, it's unclear whether he would have acted so affectionately.
Although he still didn’t understand why Zhang Hanqing could become a distinguished guest in the hall, Feng Delin still wanted to make a final effort. He personally took the wine glass, walked over with a smile, and said to Zhu Qiqian: "Today is the birthday of my daughter Gui. As this is the right time for me, I should lend flowers to the Buddha and congratulate the third young lady."
The Zhu family has a very strict upbringing. A large number of Feng Delin's relatives came to congratulate him, and the family members all stood up together. Zhu Qiqian didn't dare to say: "How could Zhu be so virtuous? How dare you ask Brother Delin to come here in person? Wouldn't this be shortening my little girl's life?" He immediately drank a full cup.
Seeing that Zhu Qiqian's words were sincere, Feng Delin felt relieved and patted Zhang Hanqing on the shoulder and said: "It turns out that Hanqing and Mr. Gui have such an irreconcilable relationship, which surprised Feng. What he wants Mr. Gui to know is that Quanzi Feng Yong, whose nickname is also Han Qing. It is also a coincidence that the two Han Qings have the same longevity."
Zhu Qiqian knew what Feng Delin meant, which was to test his intimacy with Zhang Zuolin. What happened today was purely accidental. He didn't want to take sides between Feng and Zhang. Extending a hand of friendship to foreign generals has always been taboo for those in power. He then joked and said: "Both Han Qings are both bright and glorious for a while. How old and glorious are they?" He pulled Zhang Hanqing and said: "But this Han Qing came at the invitation of my daughter. Before that, but I have never met before. You two Han Qings are both from outside the customs. When you meet in a foreign land, you have to get close to each other."
What are you getting close to? Who doesn’t know who yet. The two Han Qings looked at each other and quickly ignored them.
The words seemed to have been made very clear, but these words could not completely relieve Feng Delin's suspicion. Why is Zhang Hanqing familiar with the ladies of the Zhu family? Why did Zhu Qiqian let him sit at the main table? What is his attitude towards relationships between juniors?
Zhu Qiqian didn’t want to explain anything, and Feng Delin didn’t necessarily need him to waste any more words. Compared to Feng Delin, he prefers the much younger Zhang Zuolin. The two Fengtian strongmen are both division commanders, and their eldest sons are the same age. They both seem to be outstanding among them. However, considering that Zhang Zuolin has enough time for Zhang Hanqing to take over power, Feng Delin may not. Sometimes, the contest between the next generation can also be a political contest.
“But Feng Delin is also very lively. He was already the leader of the Green Forest before Zhang Zuolin. He is one generation higher than Zhang Zuolin, and his knowledge of dealing with people is very comparable to others. When Zhu Qiqian introduced Zhang Hanqing to Miss Zhu San for an appointment, he quickly caught a glimpse of the disdain in Zhu Songjun's eyes, which made him make a preliminary judgment: Zhang Hanqing was not very familiar with Miss Zhu San, or Zhang Zuolin was not as familiar with Zhu Qiqian as he was. Even more network advantages.
He rolled his eyes and picked up the topic: "Feng didn't make any preparations for Miss Third's birthday. In a hurry, Quanzi only commissioned a Ford car from a foreign company. The deadline is coming soon, so I hope San Miss, I’ll accept it.”
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:???????? It’s just a car when you take action, why don’t you let people live? You must know that those times were not as good as today. Some people joked that bicycles in the 1920s were equivalent to Rolls-Royces in later generations. What is this car worth?
Ms. Zhu San is very happy that her family has a car, which belongs to her father. How wonderful it would be to own a car! Moreover, she was given a car at the birthday party, which made others envious. She glanced at Zhang Hanqing proudly.
??Aren’t you being a shabby person by negotiating gifts in front of Zhang Hanqing? Also, when others have given such a big gift, can Zhang Hanqing, who is sitting at the main table, sit still? Zhu Guangmu's face turned green. Although he was accompanying a guest, he was worried about the humiliation of his ministers. He was several years older than Zhang Hanqing. If he didn't have anything to offer,Take action? With Gui Lao's reputation, with a wave of his arms, people of insight will definitely follow him. Moreover, I have heard for a long time that Mr. Gui has a lot of research on ancient architecture and industry. In terms of the development, planning and design of Beidaihe, Mr. Gui will definitely not stand idly by. If so, the development of Beidaihe can be expected, which will bring great benefits to the country and the people. Xueliang also made a vow that if Mr. Gui takes action, Xueliang will not only convince his father to give strong support, but will also fund the construction of a villa in Beidaihe and give it to Miss Zhu San to make up for the lack of today's gifts. "
In later generations, he once visited Qinhuangdao and knew that Zhu Qiqian was the first political figure to develop Beidaihe. The tomb of his first wife was built there, and it later became a park. With Zhu's compassion and feelings for the country and the people, he must have been deeply interested in developing Beidaihe.

This gift was so big, so prestigious and beneficial, and so appealing that even Zhang Hanqing was almost moved by his lies.
Zhu Qiqian was very shocked. He was surprised that Zhang Hanqing, at such a young age, could actually think of something small and come up with such a "gift" that would be of great benefit to the country, the people, and himself. It is true that he is a politician, but he is also fascinated by ancient architecture. Zhang Hanqing gave him a big hat from a patriotic point of view. He had to wear it and he happily obeyed.
"I solemnly accept your gift." He said it very solemnly. What he respected was Zhang Hanqing's feelings.
Only with a sincere heart towards the people of the country can we pay attention to such a thing. In his memory, no son of a military attache would consider the problem from this perspective, and he had never seen any junior as outstanding as Zhang Hanqing. At this time, he remembered the rumors he had heard in Beijing some time ago about Zhang Zuolin, the eldest son. Jiang Baili and Cai E, two talents whom they both valued, were indeed extraordinary.
As Zhu Qiqian’s attitude towards Zhang Hanqing changed, the Zhu sisters, who had always been shrouded in the halo of their strict father, began to feel restless. They either winked or stuck out their tongues, but they all looked at Zhang Hanqing with admiration. It is not easy in itself to be able to express such a heart-warming message to my father who has always been prudent.
Ms. Zhu Wu was at an age when she was not very smart but had a lot of ideas. She whispered in the ear of the fourth sister with admiration: "This brother Zhang gave my sister such a big gift."
Miss Zhu Si laughed and said: "That's just a big piece of cake. Didn't you listen to what he said? He only has three hundred yuan, and his father has to take the lead in making everything else. Even the so-called villa also requires When his father funds it, it will be built in the air."
The two people’s voices were neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough for Zhang Hanqing to hear. Zhu Qiqian was talking to his old friends beside him and didn't care at all about the whispers of his little daughters. Miss Zhu San also joined in and said: "Han Qing, what you are talking about is too far away. Today is my birthday. No matter good or bad, you can't really come here with nothing, right?"
Zhu Qiqian happened to hear it, and he reprimanded him dissatisfiedly: "Hanqing is just a child, where does he get the money to buy you a gift? As a sister, you have no tolerance at all." Zhang Hanqing was so knowledgeable and discerning, so he How could Mr. Zhu lose points with a small gift at his level?
Zhang Hanqing suddenly felt his face getting hot and he couldn't sit still. Indeed, he took advantage of the situation in this matter, but he had no intention of defaulting on his debt, right? After a few years, when his wings are full, it shouldn't be a problem to spend some money to build a villa, right? If you want to live in it, then hide it in a golden house. If you give it to you then, you can fulfill your promise. The key is time!
It doesn’t matter if a few brats look down on him. He doesn’t have the same experience as them but it still highlights his demeanor. But the key is the evaluation of the opposite sex, especially the pretty good opposite sex, which is tolerable and intolerable. He leaned close to Miss Zhu San's ear and whispered: "How about I give it to you as a gift? In addition, I will give you all my savings over the years. I have never used it, and I have no reservations."
This is a joke. On the second day of the wedding, the new wife came out holding the wall and yelled: "This liar, he said he had more than 20 years of savings, I thought it was money!"
This sentence is a bit frivolous. If Miss Zhu San understood the meaning of his last sentence, she would probably call him a hooligan on the spot, right? It's a pity that the third lady also misunderstood it as money! She smiled sweetly and said: "How much can you sell for? How much can you pay back your savings? It's ridiculous, how many can you get?" Frankly speaking, Zhang Hanqing looks so good that there is no reason to hate him. He is one of the four most handsome men in the Republic of China. , and his quick wit is also admirable. A talented and handsome man will always be appreciated by young women, even if he is still a few years younger.
How dare you underestimate me! Zhang Hanqing suppressed his laughter and said quite confidently: "Tens of thousands, I haven't counted them in detail - but it's enough for you to endure."
Zhu Songyun didn’t take it seriously. It was enough, and he thought it was “enough.” She said frankly: "I need a lot, the more the better." Although women basically don't have to spend money in social circles, the cost of clothing and other items is also a big expense. Although the Zhu family is rich, they will not let her be uncontrolled, so her hands are also very tight.
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile on his face: "It doesn't matter, one time is not enough. It can be divided into periods. It will be born again soon. If you want it, I can give it to you every day." It was extremely satisfying to tease a good woman in front of her. ah. These words are all classic words from later generations, and the good student Zhu Songyun must not understand them. So seeing the slight smile on her brows made me feel indescribably happy.
Zhu Songjun chuckled and said: "What do you think it is? You still use it for me every day" Seeing Zhang Hanqing's face that was unfailing, loved by both young and old, full of spring smile, he thought of something, suddenly his face turned red, and he groaned. Said: "You?Tricking me…”
Never, do you understand such a vague words? Zhang Hanqing was shocked, but he shrugged innocently and spread his hands towards her. Zhu Songjun turned away and ignored him.
Zhu Qiqian was slapped in public, and his favorable impression of Zhang Hanqing suddenly increased. He was also happy to see the interactions between his juniors, so he was happy to hear their whispers. Zhang Hanqing talked to her with a smile, but her daughter turned away and ignored Zhang Hanqing, thinking she was angry because she didn't give him a gift. Then he chuckled and said, "You can't blame Han Qing for this. You didn't tell him yourself. It's reasonable for you not to be prepared."
Zhang Hanqing decided to remedy the situation, and he wanted to use his trump card.
"I really have an idea that I would like to ask Shibo to decide. If it succeeds, I can give up a certain proportion of the shares, which can be regarded as a make-up birthday gift for the third sister." Zhang Hanqing pretended to be excited. In fact, he said today The biggest purpose is to say this sentence.
Zhu Qiqian smiled. The bickering between his sons and daughters would not easily weaken his identification with Zhang Hanqing. "It's a family dinner anyway. If you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to just say it."
Zhang Hanqing can finally speak about his idea of ??making the first pot of gold in his life.
"Shibo, there are a lot of resources outside the customs, but the development efforts are not enough. If, as is my father's intention, we set up several larger companies to jointly develop coal or iron mines, our future achievements will definitely be no less than that of Hanye Ping or Kailuan Coal Mine, etc. We can not only profit from it, but also provide energy for the country's industrial development, which is a win-win good thing. This matter involves a lot, and without Shibo's connections, it will definitely not operate smoothly."
He was very good at getting close, even using "we", but Zhu Qiqian, who was immersed in thinking, didn't notice it.
??This is a big deal, and mining cannot be accomplished with just a few words or three dollars and two dates. It involves a lack of funds, technology and talents. More importantly, outside the customs is a thing that the Japanese covet. If he is to compete for food in the mouth of the Japanese, he will have to weigh one or two things if he is the chief of internal affairs. This has nothing to do with patriotism, but is linked to national strength.
But this reminded him of his idea of ??rejuvenating the country through industry. As a page that cannot be turned over in modern times, saving the country through industry and the Westernization Movement are the directions that he has been tirelessly exploring. Although the construction of mining industry has the difficulties of large capital investment and high technical requirements, it is ultimately the long-term path to national progress. It is a blessing to the country that Zhang Zuolin, who lives in the northeast, has such knowledge.
At this time, he thought this was just Zhang Zuolin's intention, because Zhang Hanqing also made an excuse to pretend to be his father. He is the Chief of the Interior and has always supported the establishment of industry. It doesn't matter if Zhang Hanqing lets him put his name on it, as long as he doesn't pay for it - the large financial resources of hundreds of thousands and millions are far beyond his ability, and it's okay if it's a business trip.
"This is a good thing. Let me consider Zhou Xiang first. After all, building a mine is not a trivial matter. But if Brother Yu Ting is interested, I can introduce a few people in the industry first. They are the best."
This was part of Zhang Hanqing's plan. He didn't want Zhu Qiqian to agree to it, he just wanted to use his connections - but he didn't need it. In his plan, Zhang Hanqing only had to put his name on it, or even have no objection when mentioning him.
"Of course, this idea may be too abrupt. My nephew will find another time to come and ask Shibo for advice."
Zhu Guangmu still admires how easily Zhang Hanqing has integrated into the eyes of the dignified Chief of Internal Affairs. He is just like the rogue emperor Liu Bang in history who used bad checks to make thousands of dollars when he attended his future father-in-law's birthday party. He was an extraordinary young man and did not follow the ordinary path.
After three rounds of drinking, the real banquet began. Not to mention the delicious food, the bowls, plates, plates and ivory chopsticks printed with "Longevity Without Borders" make people feel exquisite, elegant and antique at first sight. Celebrating her birthday here, Miss Zhu San’s petty bourgeoisie is quite high.
It is said that Zhimei Zhai was originally a Gusu restaurant. In the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, it was resold to three Shandong people: Li, Yang and Zhang. Each of these three people has good skills in making braised dishes. Through their efforts, Zhimizhai's Shandong flavor is the best. In the early years of the Republic of China, Wang Nannan, a native of Shandong, became the manager of Zhimizhai, which brought Zhimizhai to its heyday, with the number of store employees increasing from a dozen to more than 100.
Of course, the expansion of the noodles is based on the exquisiteness of the dishes. In Beijing, at the feet of the emperor, there are elite talents from all over the country. It is impossible to build a time-honored brand here without some special skills. Zhimei Zhai truly achieves elegance and easy appreciation. Not only common people like it, but also princes, nobles, and literati. Celebrities such as relatives of the Manchu Qing emperor, important officials of the Republic of China, art masters, etc. have all become frequent visitors here. It is said that Lu Xun, Lao She, Liang Shiqiu, Cheng Yanqiu, and Xun Huisheng were all frequent visitors to Qianmen.
Although Zhang Hanqing had had countless banquets in later generations, he always believed that the one he had at Zhimei Zhai was the best. Although he was the son of General Fengtian in this life, he rarely had the opportunity to eat such authentic Shandong cuisine. Therefore, the eating aspect is inevitably a bit unusual, although he has restrained himself a lot.
The informal Zhu Qiqian would not care about such trivial matters. He admired the shameless young Zhang Hanqing for being able to handle such a big matter with Zhang Zuolin. Of course, Zhang Hanqing's impromptu success could not be hidden from him, but he still appreciated Zhang Hanqing's quick response and appropriate response. No wonder both Jiang and Cai admired him very much. He looked at one person in the audience and suddenly said to Zhang Hanqing: "Hanqing, there are many young talents in the audience today. I would like to introduce someone to you." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Shandong cuisine.

Throughout the banquet, in addition to the host Zhu family being the focus, there was also a table that was as lively as it, which was rare among table seats. Generally speaking, unless it is to heighten the atmosphere, few people will do anything to overshadow the guest, especially if the host is the powerful Minister of Internal Affairs.
This person did it, even though he was passive. He has a gentle appearance, a handsome face, a decent suit, and a gentleman's demeanor in every gesture. The key is that he is only in his twenties, which is when he is at the peak of his life. Around him, there would be people toasting and chatting from time to time, and he would respond tactfully so that the visitors would leave happily. Not only had Zhang Hanqing noticed it long ago, he also noticed that all the female relatives in the room, including several sisters from the Zhu family, were also frequently glancing over there.
Zhang Hanqing followed Zhu Qiqian straight to the man's side. The bystanders took the initiative to make way for the host and guest to have a more open space to talk. Everyone knew that this scene would happen. As soon as Zhu Qiqian moved, the man caught sight of him even though he was drinking. He quickly stood up and apologized, saying, "How dare you, Mr. Gui, come here in person? My nephew had long wanted to go over and offer a toast. Seeing that Mr. Gui was chatting with people, he didn't dare to make a mistake. .”
Not only is he handsome, but he is also tall, which dwarfs the underdeveloped Zhang Hanqing.
Zhu Qiqian smiled and said: "Shaochuan, do we still need to be polite? I said that today's banquet is not only my daughter's birthday, but also a farewell to Shaochuan's trip to the United States. After all, you are also half of the people here. Master."
The man also smiled and said: "Uncle Nag is already uneasy after a meal, but he dares to overwhelm the guest and usurp the host. Will he still come to my uncle's house in the future?"
The two of them had finished chatting, and Zhu Qiqian pointed to Zhang Hanqing behind him and said, "This is Xueliang, the son of Fengtian General Zhang Zuolin, whose nickname is Hanqing. Please get close to me." He then said to Zhang Hanqing, "Among the younger generation, I am the youngest. Sichuan is one of the best among people, and at a young age, he became the minister to the United States—I am afraid he is the youngest minister to a foreign country in the Republic of China, right?"
Zhang Hanqing suddenly thought of someone and blurted out: "Gu Weijun?"
Zhu Qiqian was slightly stunned and said: "That's not polite! You can also call Shaochuan by his first name?" However, although he was reprimanding him on the surface, he still said it with the attitude of an elder, and he was still very caring between the lines.
The man smiled and said, "People are called by their names, so it doesn't hurt to call them directly." Then he calmed down and said, "Gu Weijun, whose courtesy name is Shaochuan."
It’s really him! Not only was he the youngest foreign minister of the Republic of China, he was also the youngest foreign minister in the history of the United States!
He had an extraordinary background. His father, Gu Qingchuan, was the first president of Bank of Communications in the late Qing Dynasty; his father-in-law was Tang Shaoyi, the former Prime Minister of the State Council. He rose to prominence in handling the Twenty-One Negotiations with Japan. Yuan Shikai had a keen eye for people, and his background in the United States allowed him to serve as the Beiyang Government's Minister to Mexico, the United States, Cuba, and the United Kingdom starting this year. A few years later, he served as the Minister-General of Foreign Affairs. , Chief of Finance, Acting Prime Minister, and President. After World War II, he served as China's Chief Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador to the United States, and Vice President of the International Court of Justice at The Hague.
He is known as the "first diplomat of the Republic of China" and one of the most outstanding diplomats in modern Chinese history. Even ** said: "I admire Mr. Gu Weijun's diplomatic talent and conduct."
He personally participated in the negotiation of many historic treaties between China and the great powers in modern times, such as the Paris Peace Conference, the Sino-Japanese Shandong Issue Negotiations, the Sino-Soviet Agreement, the comparison with the British Concession Negotiations, and drafted and represented China on the United Nations Charter. Signatures, etc., have made great contributions to the Chinese nation in diplomacy. If we talk about diplomatic achievements alone, they are comparable to Zhou Enlai. Even Zhou Dou regretted that: "The reason why Gu Weijun failed to deserve the name of China's first diplomat was completely created by the times, but the first diplomat of the Republic of China was famous. Really return."
Of course, at this time, he had no subsequent achievements, but the title of the youngest minister abroad was enough to make others envious. This good reputation is really earned by my own hard work. In addition, his handsomeness is also one of the reasons why he is popular in the social world. He is one of the three most beautiful men in the capital, and Zhang Hanqing is not allowed to be "beautiful".
At this time, he was high-spirited and ambitious, and when he wanted to show off his talents, of course he looked down at the immature Zhang Hanqing with a tolerant heart.
Zhang Hanqing quickly recovered from his initial surprise. He took the initiative to toast and said: "Brother Gu is a young talent, and I know your name like a thunderbolt. A weak country has no diplomacy, but you did a great job in the Sino-Japanese negotiations." There is something Li Hongzhang can’t do, so for this I borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and give you a toast.”
“Gu Weijun’s role in the Twenty-One Negotiations is rarely known to the world. It was he who cleverly revealed the news to his American friends, thereby gaining the "attention" of the United States, thus putting pressure on the Japanese government from the side and avoiding Japan's attempt to fully control China. This point,Industrial systems and technologies, machinery, shipbuilding, electronics, electricity, metallurgy, automobiles, water conservancy, steelthese are all urgently needed for the development of Northeast China. In addition, the current situation of the United States with fewer people and more land is generally similar to that of the Northeast. Their farm construction can also serve as a reference for the development of the Northeast.
“With these projects, it will cost us a lot to catch up, and Americans also want to have greater influence in China. If there is a breakthrough in cooperation between the two sides in these areas, it will be quite beneficial to our own development and the interests of the United States in China. Moreover, these are purely non-governmental economic transactions, and the Japanese cannot interfere. "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

This was the first time someone had talked to him about such a lofty topic, and the person was only a half-year-old child. This made Gu Weijun a little bit dumbfounded, but Zhang Hanqing's words were very reasonable. He had just returned from serving as the minister to Mexico and had a general understanding of the current situation in neighboring the United States. The level of advancement and industrialization in the United States astonished him. Zhang Hanqing's idea of ??using beauty as a teacher is quite visionary, but he is so young, has he ever been to the United States?
Gu Weijun inevitably came up with this idea.
More than just been there! As the only superpower in later generations, Zhang Hanqing has seen enough of the arrogance of the United States, but its strength also has capital: in the world, most of the categories are top-level industries, and the country with the most railway miles exceeds the next ten countries. The total military expenditure of each country, and the unique geographical conditions successfully benefited from the world wars twice, which fully reflects the shrewdness of the Americans.
It was at that time that the GDP and total industrial output of the United States had surpassed the old empire Britain and ranked first in the world, but they were just keeping a low profile. Because of the isolationist tendency of the United States, it has not extended its hand far around the world. It also adheres to the "open door" principle to make a fortune silently, and its influence in China has not yet risen.
He looked at Zhang Hanqing, what were people his age doing now? It's time for fun, right? Even if he is as smart as himself, he could only study well in school. Even if the above words are from his father's professor, it is worthy of praise that he retells them in such an organized manner.
He asked quietly: "Do you think the United States will intervene in the situation in Northeast China?"
Zhang Hanqing shook his head: "In these troubled times, the United States has not yet thought of competing with Japan in the Far East, but that does not mean that it allows Japan to dominate the Far East. If we let the wind out, it can make the Japanese nervous for a while, and it can also reduce it appropriately. Their diplomatic pressure on us.
"Twenty-one, one, brings shame to our whole country, why?" First, our national strength is indeed too weak. The second reason is also because the European war weakened the checks and balances of the great powers on Japan, so it dared to do whatever it wanted at this time.
The outcome of the European War will cause a global reshuffle, which will be a mixed blessing for our country. The good thing is that there will be a long period of peace in the future, which is a golden period for our development. China's success or failure depends on this; the bad thing is that the original balanced situation in China has been broken, the powers have become weak, and Japan has become the dominant country. If we do not plan ahead, given our current situation, we will not be able to restrain Japan, and political and economic losses will be inevitable.
I think the only people who can make the Japanese restrain themselves in the Northeast at this stage are the Americans. If you want the Americans to come forward, it must be sweet. Of course, the nature of capital is to pursue profits, and we are just making good use of it. . When the situation between us and them is that you are in the middle, and I am in the middle of you, Japan will have to look at the face of the Americans if it wants to exert pressure as it is now. "
Meeting Gu Weijun was a big surprise. Europe is trapped in a war and cannot extricate itself. Japan's industrial level is already poor. The only "benefactor" in his growth plan, the United States, has no communication channels. Now, the opportunity has come.
Of course, it's too early to talk in detail now - even Zhang Zuolin doesn't have the ability to influence the overall situation of the country. He can't even monopolize Fengtian Province. Isn't Feng Delin next to him watching with eager eyes?
Seeing Zhang Hanqing’s insightful conversation, Gu Weijun became interested. He asked tentatively: "Han Qing is very knowledgeable about national affairs. So, do you think, when it comes to China's attitude towards joining the European war, should we lean towards the United States or Japan?"
At this time, the First World War was in full swing, and China was also faced with the problem of which side to join. Of course, the importance of this issue was diluted a lot by Lao Yuan's proclaimed emperor. But in the eyes of professionals like Gu Weijun, this is the top priority: taking a stand.
"For such a big matter, of course Zhang Hanqing's words, as a young boy's words, cannot carry much weight. No matter how boastful Zhang Hanqing was, Gu Weijun would not be deceived by him. He just saw that he had extraordinary knowledge and it was better than nothing as a conversation piece.
"It is China's national condition to juxtapose Japan with the powerful United States. Japan is China's neighbor with the most ferocious ambitions and the greatest aggression. Although it is not big, it insists on biting it, which makes the weak giant China exhausted; while the United States adheres to the "open door" policy and does not want Japan to seize the country in a certain way. To a certain extent, it makes China's life easier, but the disadvantage is that it is beyond our reach.
At that time, many knowledgeable people believed that China should join the Allied Powers. A very simple reason is that China’s neighboring powers will be allies, and Russia and Japan have joined this side. As a major country that can influence China, the opinions of the United States are important, and the United States itself is a natural ally of the United Kingdom. In this case, China’s choice is actually?Limited.
The benefits of joining the Allied Powers are of course obvious. At least China, as a victorious country in the future, can legitimately claim Qingdao from Japan, even though it was lost from Germany because Japan declared war on Germany. An ally!
But Japan also took a fancy to this and opposed China's declaration of war, regardless of the requests of Britain, the United States and other countries. At its insistence, Yuan Shikai did not want to get involved, so the matter became a stalemate. The vitality of the frontline countries such as Britain and France has not been damaged, and they do not expect that China's entry into the war will drastically change the situation. If China has the strength to compete among major powers, will they still have their concessions in China?
The reason why Gu Weijun asked such a professional question was not to expect Zhang Hanqing to be able to solve it, but to test his level.
Zhang Hanqing "studied deeply" and said confidently: "This question is very simple. It is better for China to participate in the war than not to participate in the war. However, it is a bit unrealistic to think about how much the country's situation will be improved after participating in the war."
Gu Weijun was surprised. Zhang Hanqing is really not polite, this is a national event, you just treat it like a housewife! He said calmly: "Oh, I would like to hear the details."
Zhang Hanqing, you're welcome——it's obvious what will happen in the future! China declared war, but was still deprived of the right to decide the Shandong issue after the war. This led to the May Fourth Movement. As long as his appearance in this time and space does not cause a butterfly effect, the result is certain.
He finally has a stage to perform. This kind of empty talk is what he is best at, and it is also what the angry youth of the 21st century are best at. He said bluntly: "It's very simple. If China participates in the war, if it wins——of course it will win——China will have a moral advantage. Then it is relatively reasonable to talk to the great powers about the conditions for changing China's status." Much more. At least, when we buy weapons from foreign powers, we don’t have to depend on other people’s faces. After all, we are a victorious country.
But don’t forget that the European War was just a dog-eat-dog war. The reason they started this war was not for morality, but entirely for profit. Therefore, this moral victory will not bring many substantive benefits to China, because China's national situation has not undergone earth-shaking changes.
Because the world is still in the jungle age, oh, the age of the jungle, China is so weak that it can be completely ignored in the international community, so even participating in the war, which is completely an internal matter, depends on the looks of outsiders. So, has this condition changed after the war? It’s hard to be optimistic! So why can you control your own destiny? The reason why I have always emphasized that weak countries have no diplomacy is because since the Opium War, China has not taken advantage of any treaty signed with foreign countries!
Are the Chinese stupid or are the Chinese stupid? I do not think so! China still has young talents like Brother Shaochuan, who can also see through and even defeat some of the other party's plots. The handling of the 21st Chapter is a diplomatic masterpiece. But what's the result? When Japan replaced conspiracy with conspiracy, we were helpless. Just because of the difference in national power! So when the benefits are distributed after the war, I am pessimistic about whether China can get back its share. But what Brother Shaochuan is doing, I fully support! At least, we did what we could. If the results are not satisfactory, then it is of great significance to awaken tens of millions of people.
“What I can do at this stage is to exert influence on my father and let him set up industries to revitalize the economy, thereby affecting or driving the entire region and making the country fundamentally strong. This is the cornerstone of diplomacy. The United States' mining, electric power, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding technology, automobiles, etc. are all second to none in the world. Northeast China has rich mineral deposits. If the two are combined organically, we will have a certain chance of becoming rich and powerful, and it will not be a constraint in the beginning. important factor in the ambitions of great powers.

A weak country have no diplomacy, and sovereignty cannot be obtained by relying on gifts. Today, Bismarck’s words are still valid: ‘The major problems of our time cannot be solved by discussion and majority vote. Sometimes they must be solved inevitably through a struggle, a struggle of iron and blood’. I am willing to work with Brother Shaochuan to encourage him and strive for the rise of the Chinese nation! "
After he delivered this impassioned speech impassionedly, he realized that at some point, many people had gathered around him, and everyone listened quietly, forming a silent majority.
"Courage of blood"! This was Gu Weijun's first reaction. But he was still affected, and the scenes of humiliation he suffered during the twenty-one negotiations came to mind.
Yes, the successful negotiation that I am proud of is not because Japan took away the clauses that made all the powers unhappy, but still achieved all-round penetration into China? Isn't my own efforts to try to say to the other party: "You can't take everything away, at least leave some for me!" Zhang Hanqing, a half-year-old child, can see through the essence of diplomacy, but he is obsessed with the power of negotiation. Is it possible? Is the pattern too small?
Zhu Qiqian was also very touched. He is not only an official of the Republic of China, but also a conscientious Chinese. It is his dream to make the country strong. In fact, as an ambitious and thoughtful Chinese, who doesn’t have this idea?
This tragic atmosphere also affected the female relatives in the room. At least the ladies of the Zhu family looked at Zhang Hanqing with admiration. Beauties respect heroes, as has been the case since ancient times, and even Zhu Guangmu straightened his back. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)He is also a conscientious Chinese.

Chapter 55 War of words
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The first lesson of the Chinese language textbook in the fourth volume of primary school textbooks since the founding of the Republic of China mentioned at the beginning: "China is the name of our country. Since my distant ancestors, I have lived here, clothed here, and eaten here. From generation to generation, it has been handed down to me. I am How can the people of China not love our country?" It is truly a blessing for China that Zhang Hanqing has such insight at his age.
Although Gu Weijun has been in officialdom for a long time, he still has an innocent heart. Zhang Hanqing was still young, but he had such ambitions, which certainly made his blood boil. "I am not alone in my ways," he thought.
Zhu Qiqian is also very pleased with himself. He put Zhang Hanqing in the leading position today. Although he made an unexpected move without knowing the situation, it has invisibly greatly increased his own worth. The more outstanding Zhang Hanqing is, the more he proves his ability to recognize people.
Legend has it that Zhang Hanqing was highly praised by Chiang and Cai, the two masters of military science at the time. As an outsider, he only thought it was a compliment for those who were late; Han Linchun, Yang Wenkai and other military experts were encouraged by him to sit on the central hot chair and insist on going outside the customs. We didn’t even think deeply about building an arsenal in this bitter cold land. Now Zhang Hanqing has such political knowledge, which he has seen with his own eyes.
Thinking about it now, this clearly requires lofty ambitions and means. People say there are three treasures outside the Pass, but I think this guy is clearly a living treasure! His father, Zhang Zuolin, was now General Fengtian, commanding a division, and his starting point was not low. In the past few years since the founding of the Republic of China, how much has changed in the country! Who knows how many achievements Zhang Buqing will have in the future? If you don't burn some cold stoves while the unfinished jade is still unfinished, you will be called an official roly-poly in vain.
So he looked at Zhang Hanqing and had some thoughts in his mind.
Feng Delin, who was always paying attention to him, knew something was wrong. I was burning the incense of Zhu Qiqian, but Zhang Hanqing reached out and affected the result. Ever since Zhang Hanqing was ordered to go to Beijing, he felt that this was the beginning of Yuan Shikai's trust in Zhang Zuolin. Otherwise, why would he want Zhang Zuolin's son to go to school in Beijing if they were both teachers?
Only Zhang Hanqing and his son knew that he was here as a proton, but Lao Yuan still treated him very highly. In addition, he had no intention of being a proton at all, so others thought that this little Zhang had won the heart of the president, at least Feng Delin. I think so.
We can’t let him be so popular! Feng Delin picked up the wine glass and came over with a smile. Of course, with his sophistication, he would not do anything to disgrace the scenery, but it is necessary to pour cold water on him at the right time: "Nephew Zhang Xian has such knowledge at a young age, even the old man feels warm in his heart after hearing this. However, the burden of major national affairs has been shouldered by the younger generation. The old man feels that all of us sitting here have lived in vain."
When he said this, everyone thought of Zhang Hanqing's age, and then they followed Feng Delin's idea and realized that it was true. The young people are worried about the country and the people. In comparison, they, the important government officials, are somewhat indifferent. But you, Feng Delin, can feel guilty alone, so why do you have to bring us all along?
Zhang Hanqing also muttered to himself, "Do you want me to become an enemy of the people?" You underestimated my brother's abilities. He smiled and said: "It's not too late, it's not too late. 'The old cow knows that the sunset is late, so he doesn't wait for the whip to rise.' I have heard my father talk about the Battle of Liaoyang Shoushan since I was a child. Feng Shibo has the legend of the bloody battle with the Russians. For this, he was awarded the 'Treasure Star Medal' by Japan. Who dares to say that Shibo is not brave? I think Shibo is getting stronger and stronger, and he is not less brave than before."
This battle is Feng Delin’s proud work and the beginning of his rise. But one moment and the other, he was very popular when he helped the Japanese fight the Russians, but now that Zhang Hanqing is bringing up old things again, it is unpleasant for others to hear. After all, because of Twenty-One, Lao Yuan had declared that the day of issuance was a day of national humiliation. The Chinese people were afraid of and hated the sun. Even interacting with the Japanese was looked down upon by the people of the time, not to mention this Japanese. Where are the fans?
So many people looked at Feng Delin with a somewhat unkind look. But Feng Delin was wronged. The exchanges between countries are bumpy and bumpy. No one can look ahead and behind at the same time. But Zhang Hanqing cleverly brought up old things again, leaving him unable to tell the difference. He couldn't deny it outright, right? Many government officials sitting here are aware of this, even though they had some kind of relationship with the Japanese in the past.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Little beast! Feng Delin was angry, and he had to clear his name for this matter. This era is not as weak as when Japan invaded China in a large scale in later generations, and the three views of the Chinese people are also very upright. If you accept the big hat of Mei Ri, let alone competing with Zhang Zuolin, it is a matter of uncertainty whether you can escape unscathed.
"Old Feng will do nothing if he doesn't take action. If he takes action, he must hit the weak point." Feng Delin said lightly: "When I fought bloody battles with the Russians, it was to protect the country and the people. Now I have different opinions with my nephew, and it is also to protect the country and the people. Although you are in Fengtian, you have always stayed in school. How can you know what is happening outside? How powerful are the Japanese? Don’t say these words again, as they can easily cause diplomatic disputes.”"The United States is also very willing to have an honest reason to intervene in China's issues, and we will give it this opportunity."
As long as the economy is closely linked to the United States, Japan will definitely have concerns when formulating its China policy. This is also an opportunity for China to stand up. Of course, being able to stand up does not depend on the gifts of others. It is the last word that we are strong. At this time, the strength of the United States is also our prime minister. "
This was the first time that Gu Weijun heard such a thorough analysis of the overall international situation, which was exactly the same as what he actually understood. I really can’t believe how Zhang Hanqing could have so many ideas in his little head. Is this the so-called genius? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 56 Betrothal
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
They were talking enthusiastically, but Miss Zhu San was unhappy. This Han Qing is the guest I invited. You can't just keep it, can you? You all surround him like stars holding the moon, where do you put yourselves? She turned to Zhang Hanqing dissatisfied and said, "Hanqing, the food is cold, why don't you come here quickly!"
Celebrities in social circles are probably used to being self-centered. I didn’t expect that this person appeared just because of a prank on her part. Although Gu Weijun had a good conversation with Zhang Hanqing, he couldn't bear the beauty to complain, as the so-called discerning people do. He pointed at Zhu Songjun and gestured to Zhang Hanqing with a smile.
If it were another man and Miss Zhu San was alive, why wouldn’t she come running over like crazy? But who is Zhang Hanqing, so he won't be led by a woman? Especially when he can finally show off what he has learned in front of an outstanding person in the Republic of China, it is the most satisfying thing since time travel. The third and fourth ladies, all go aside! He waved his hand casually: "You eat first, Brother Shaochuan and I have something to talk about."
"This is probably the first time Miss Zhu San has encountered such a disrespectful man, but the more this happens, the more her interest is aroused. Beedie is always surrounded by her, and she is always the protagonist, without exception. Zhang Hanqing was so casual in giving orders, which made her feel very strange, and it aroused her fighting spirit——what's wrong with being young? My sister is for all ages!
However, as a well-educated lady, Zhu Songjun did not say anything anymore. She was thinking about what to do next.
Zhang Hanqing had the opportunity to show his "talent" in economics and politics, so of course he confided everything in his heart to Gu Weijun. He has made "reasonable" judgments and predictions about the current world situation and the development of the post-war world structure. He also has detailed plans for how China can get rid of its current status.
All this shocked Gu Weijun. Regardless of whether the future situation has not been confirmed, it is expected that Zhang Hanqing, with his northeastern vision and young age, can think about such a huge topic and come up with an almost impeccable theory. From this point of view, he is worthy of admiration and deep friendship.
Gu Weijun, who has always thought that he was a leader among the younger generation and was always proud of it, has now rarely been able to put down his original intention of greeting others. "This boy will become a great person!" he thought. Based on his experience in the British and American diplomatic circles, he was very unfavorable about Yuan Shikai's attempt to proclaim himself emperor, so he was very concerned about the political trend in the post-Yuan era. Zhang Hanqing has such insight, and because Nai's father is the most powerful general in Fengtian, it is really unpredictable what the future results will be.
With the mentality of "burning a cold stove", Gu Weijun decided to use his fame to add more fuel to Zhang Hanqing. In a slightly exaggerated but sincere tone, he praised Zhang Hanqing to the people around him and said: "When you have a son, you should be like Han Qing! I originally thought that Han Qing could be praised by Jiang and Cai, the two military leaders, but it was just a reward for the underachievers." , only now do I know that brother Han Qing’s knowledge is far superior to mine! In time, my achievements will be beyond the reach of my generation! If Han Qing does not give up, I am willing to become a sworn brother with you."
Based on his identity and background, he was originally quite disapproving of such charlatanism. He had received a Western education. But in order to cater to Zhang Hanqing, who came from a bandit family, he decided to go all out and get close to Xiao Zhang in the way that the warriors at the time liked most. Of course, in this era, the boat of friendship can capsize at the drop of a hat. This kind of relationship cannot be relied on, but it is not what he wants to consider. Having been nurtured in Beiyang political circles for a long time, his obsession with power has made him a real politician - this is the best evaluation of his use of personal abilities to achieve political benefits.
At the beginning of his career, he resolutely abandoned his first fiancee, En Tong Zao Zao. It was the latter's father's insight that enabled him to return from studying abroad and settle down in the center, and devoted himself to the Republic of China. He was a disciple of Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi because Tang Baoyue, the daughter of Prime Minister Tang, fell in love with him.
The reason why men are loyal is because the stakes for betrayal are too low. Although the reason why he abandoned his wife was that he was not willing to be restrained by his "not too generous" fiancée, the private life of the greatest diplomat in modern history was not grand.
However, when Tang Shaoyi did not agree with Yuan Shikai and left Beijing for Shanghai and firmly opposed Lao Yuan's claim to the throne, although Lao Yuan still admired him as a young talent, he was well aware of the disadvantages of an unstable foundation. Therefore, in order to gain further support, he was able to resolutely become sworn sworn sworn friends with Zhang Hanqing, who was twelve years younger than him.
This is enough to shock people. Because in the eyes of the people at the time, he, a rising star in the diplomatic world, was far more favored than the kid from the Northeast, but he actually condescended to propose sworn sworn friendship to a young man who was much younger than him!
So everyone was really "shocked".
Zhang Hanqing also didn’t expect that Gu Weijun would be able to recognize thorns with his keen eye. He has always been cold-hearted towards his brothers: his father is not the same as Feng Xiang at the next table.bsp;But it is still feasible to make a difference economically, because American politics is, to a deep level, a kind of plutocratic politics. Among the two major political parties that influence or determine American politics, the Democratic Party belongs to the Morgan family, and the Republican Party belongs to the Rockefeller family. Although they are politically opposed, they have one thing in common, which is making money.
No one has trouble with money, and the two major political parties backed by capital are no exception
Therefore, Gu Weijun smiled and said to him: "I have a good opportunity to get to know the Rockefeller family. Originally, they asked me to ask for it, but I am anxious to take office. I guess with your connections in Beijing, this matter is not too difficult. If If we can do it successfully, it will be a good opportunity to get to know each other, and it will also be an opportunity to benefit China. I will take you to get to know them after dinner."
Is this a sworn gift package? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 57 I have a house
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The men’s world here is buzzing with speculation, and the women’s crowd over there can’t help but become lively. A beautiful young woman is whispering with a bunch of girls.
"Songyun, this Han Qing is very good. It's rare that both his father and mother like him. How did you meet him?"
The person who spoke was Xiangyun, the eldest of the daughters of the Zhu family, who was already married to someone else. She was born to Zhu Qiqian and his first wife. Although she was married, she still often returned to her parents' home and got along well with her stepmother Yu Baoshan. She also has a good relationship with her younger sisters, because she is only six years older than the second oldest, Qiyun, and seven years older than Miss Zhu San, so they have a common language.
When the eldest sister said this, the second sister Qiyun also became interested. Even Mrs. Yu also looked over with concern. Just because she is an elder, there are some words that she keeps in her heart, but that doesn't mean she has no ideas. Someone has said it for her, so she might as well listen to it.
Miss Zhu San showed her shyness for the first time, which was reflected in Madam's eyes. It was clearly the support of her daughter's family. Zhang Hanqing looks talented and looks very talented. Although his background is not good, his family background is not bad. Besides, who cares about these things nowadays. The two of them are also of the same age, so if they were to get married, they would be a perfect match.
????????????? And it’s rare for the husband to treat this young man with false words. How could he know that he didn’t have this idea in his heart? In fact, she didn't know that this was a beautiful misunderstanding caused by a coincidence. However, the Zhu family's family style is open, and both husband and wife admire Western style and do not advocate parents' orders or matchmaker's advice. So Mrs. Yu had an idea in her mind, but she remained calm, pretending to make tea and listening carefully.
Ms. Zhu San was open-minded and naturally had no worries, so she told the story of their acquaintance, in fact, what happened during that moment last night. She smiled slightly and said: "Don't look at how polite he is now, but he was very domineering last night! That was really the reincarnation of a bandit - not a reincarnation, but a legend, hehe." Zhang Hanqing came from a bandit family. , they all understand.
Only in front of her sisters and mothers did she let go of her little witch demeanor and start laughing and joking with them. Mrs. Yu gave her a look, pretending to be angry, and whispered softly: "If you talk nonsense in public, are there any rules?"
Zhu Songjun stuck out his tongue to show that he was being trained. Among the five sons and ten daughters of the Zhu family, Mrs. Yu loved the third and fifth children the most. Although she has a great reputation in the capital, she is only a sixteen-year-old girl with a precocious mind. She has a good upbringing and is still a good girl in the eyes of her parents. Otherwise, given Zhu Songjun's "wild" reputation in the capital's social circle, it would be strange that Mrs. Yu would tolerate her.
Zhang Hanqing was in a good mood after getting to know Gu Weijun and receiving such good news. Although he is not very old physically, he is already two generations old mentally. He cannot do anything that is too overwhelming. After all, today is the birthday banquet of Miss Zhu San. Seeing the harmony of the Zhu family's family dinner, he couldn't help but go up to congratulate him - he couldn't give you any actual gifts, so he had to make some tricks with his words to make people like him!
And at this time, Zhu Songjun had removed her heavy makeup, and she looked very beautiful at a young age. This huge contrast also made him a little distraught. Everyone has a love for beauty, not to mention him, an adult male wolf? Not to mention that his petty thoughts are still being used by the Zhu family. It is just an opportunity to get close to the beauty Fangze. If he doesn't know how to grasp it, he will not be a romantic young commander who has the potential to harm the beauty.
He picked up the wine glass, walked over with a calmness that was befitting his age, filled Mrs. Yu's tea first, and said with a smile: "It's a rare birthday for Sister Zhu. Today, my nephew will borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and give aunt a glass of water and wine. Birthday is also called When my mother is in trouble, I should respect my aunt first."
Mrs. Yu is very happy, this young man has a very sweet mouth. She couldn't help but love her even more, so she smiled and took a sip of tea with him and said, "You and Songyun are about the same age. You young people can talk more and leave me alone." Zhu Songyun was only one year older than him, really. To get to that point, in this day and age, this is a very appropriate and even common phenomenon. Mrs. Yu watched the two of them begin to interact, feeling very happy.
Zhang Hanqing had refilled the glass and was about to clink glasses with Zhu Songyun. He said with a smile: "I wish my third sister to have this day every year, have this day every year, and stay young forever." He did not forget to say to her: "Dare to be older than a tortoise." .”
Zhu Songjun pretended to be reserved at first and watched him toast with joy. Suddenly, when he heard this last sentence, he couldn't help but scolded: "The more you talk, the more you are more and more presumptuous. You are as old as a turtle!"
Listening to the two young men bickering like they were scolding each other, all the female relatives laughed. This is a family banquet, and the Zhu family is open to the public, so there are no certain rules on these matters. It's only the young people playing and fooling around that makes it lively. Unlike the other tables, where everyone sits upright and follows the rules. What's the point?
The girl with two pigtails on her head next to her shows her two glasses.Came: "Brother, everyone has gifts for their birthdays, why don't you bring anything? Stingy."
This is the second time this matter has been mentioned, and even Zhu Songjun is ashamed of him. Zhang Hanqing promised his father a castle in the air. Others can say that he is smart, but how can he tell this truth to a little girl? Mrs. Yu was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so she couldn't help but knock her little head: "Meijun, what gifts do you know at such a young age? The gift your brother Zhang gave your father, he couldn't even be happy about it."
It turns out that this little girl of eight or nine years old is named Zhu Meiyun! Well, it turns out that he is "Zhao Si Feng Liu Zhu Wu Kuang". At such a young age, he has the potential to cause trouble. Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but look at Zhu Guangmu next to him who was also embarrassed for him, and thought to himself: "This is your thing, you are responsible for dealing with her."
Zhu Guangmu didn't know that this little girl was his wife in the official history. When he saw Zhang Hanqing looking at him with ill intentions, he thought he was trying to get him to "save him", so he hurriedly said: "Meijun, what gift do you want?" , just say, brother will buy it for you tomorrow."
Will the daughter of the Zhu family be fooled so easily? Although Zhu Meiyun is young, he has a strong mind. He bluntly refused Zhu Guangmu's bribe: "Today is the third sister's birthday. What do I want a gift for? Don't try to distract me."
????????? Zhang Hanqing is so sweaty, this is a typical example of a brat, it seems like he can’t do it without some special tricks. Without changing his expression, he said to Zhu Meiyun, "My gift is too big to bring."
Zhu Meijun curled his lips and said, "You're lying. Dad and others listen to you. I don't believe your nonsense."
Hehe, this is the rhythm of the general! If you don't give me face, little baby, I will have to let you marry Guang Mu in the future - this boring honest man will suffocate you to death. Zhang Hanqing secretly felt cruel and said with a smile: "Brother, I never lie to others. If you don't believe me, ask your third sister if I have made an appointment with her to build her a big house near Qinhuangdao. Then you can Come too, okay?"
It is every man’s ambition to hide a beautiful woman in a golden house, and killing two birds with one stone, having a sister-in-law and enjoying the blessings of everyone is also a major pursuit in life. If Zhu San and Zhu Wu were willing to live in such a house, he would not refuse to build one for them.
"The words were very explicit, but Mother Zhu believed it. Didn't these two children just meet each other? Even a house is about to be built. It seems that something is going on. But this Zhang Hanqing has a quick mind and a good family background——a hero doesn't care about his origins. His father is also a general in the town after all, and he is a good match for the Zhu family.
???????????? Miss Zhu San couldn’t stand hearing it any longer. Why did she think she was marrying a daughter-in-law when she made an appointment to build a house? She gritted her teeth at Zhang Hanqing, but she didn't want to expose him to his face. But Zhu Meiyun would not be deceived by him. He wrinkled his nose and said, "You are lying. You don't have any house at all."
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "Who said no? I even wrote a poem about it."
This time it was Miss Zhu San's turn to be surprised: "You can compose poetry?" But then I thought about it, as the legendary anonymous disciple of Gu Hongming, I guess his literary achievements would not be too bad.
Zhang Hanqing was very interested in poetry and was about to show off. Of course he was calm and confident: "Third sister, don't you believe me? Listen carefully."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????… There is a poet, Haizi, who had such a spiritual pursuit long before housing prices were liberalized. He put it into a poem, which is "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom" that Zhang Hanqing often sang in his previous life:
"Be a happy man from tomorrow on
Feeding horses, chopping firewood, and traveling around the world
Starting from tomorrow, care about food and vegetables
I have a house facing the sea and the flowers are blooming in spring
Starting from tomorrow, communicate with every relative
Tell them my happiness
That happy lightning told me
I will tell everyone
Give every river and every mountain a warm name
Stranger, I also bless you
I wish you a bright future
May your lover eventually get married
I wish you happiness in this world
I just want to face the sea and see the flowers blooming in spring. "
At this time, the earliest modern new poetry had not yet appeared, and it was at least more than a year later in official history that Hu Shi laid the foundation. However, like many new things, for a period of time after the birth of new poetry, due to various reasons, it appeared to be superficial and straightforward, lacking the artistic conception that literature should have, so not many of it could be sung. It was not until Guo Moruo, Wen Yiduo, Dai Wangshu, Ai Qing, Xu Zhimo and others joined in, and various schools came one after another that the new poetry was given fresh vitality. As soon as Zhang Hanqing's vernacular poem came out, it was immediately refreshing. It felt that not only the words were beautiful, but the artistic conception was also high. What is particularly rare is the "improvisation", which is excellent.
The Zhu family is a new-style family, and they are no strangers to foreign poets such as Byron, Shelley, and Pushkin, whose "intentions are based on resistance and their intentions are based on actions." Several Zhu family sisters immediately became fond of this bearded descendant.
Miss Zhu San was convinced: "I don't see, you still have a few brushes, are you the gunman you hired?" Zhu Meijun also rarely praised Zhang Hanqing: "Brother Zhang's poems are really good." Mrs. Yu said Looking at him and Zhu Songyun with smiles, the look on his mother-in-law's face when looking at her son-in-law made Zhang Hanqing's heart skip a beat.

Chapter 58 Dancer Meiye

If there is anything in the world that frightens Zhang Hanqing more than being scrutinized by his mother-in-law, it is dancing.
Zhang Hanqing dares to say that he is proficient in everything else. The advantage of being a time traveler is that Zhang Hanqing dares to guarantee that he understands everything from politics, economy, culture, science and technology to military affairs, heaven and earth. But when it comes to dancing, he really has some difficulties. Difficult.
During the Republic of China, Western style was an indispensable social fashion for the upper class. People at that time also had a more or less indescribable love for dancing. The reason, Zhang Hanqing later concluded, was that people at that time had too few recreational activities. There were no e-books or the Internet, movies had just started, karaoke was still unknown, and bars were not yet popular in China. In this era, the most popular thing for all ages was to watch movies, and the most classy thing for the upper class was dancing.
The so-called courtesans of this era must be masters of the dance floor, showing off their romantic qualities, both men and women. Taking into account the relatively simple folk customs in the early Republic of China, just think about it, besides the dance hall, where else can you have close contact with each other in broad daylight?
Miss Zhu San is a veteran at this, and her every move shows elegance. In comparison, our Zhang Hanqing is like a countryman who has never seen the world - in essence, he has really never seen this kind of world, and isn't his family background just like that of a beard? You see, he blushed and repeatedly rejected Miss Zhu San's invitation: "It's really not possible, I really can't dance."
It is a rare opportunity to defeat this man. If Zhu Songjun does not make good use of it, he will not be the most dazzling dance socialite in Beijing and Tianjin. She took the initiative to hold his hand with a smile, and whispered in Zhang Hanqing's ear: "Men can't say no."
What is this nonsense! Taking dancing to the level of whether a man can be a man, Zhang Hanqing could not refuse. Moreover, Miss Zhu San's hands are soft and greasy, and it is still very comfortable to hold in her hands. Besides, he doesn't reject the opportunity to get close to such a beautiful woman. At worst, if she gets a little advantage, he will risk his life to feed a tiger. Foxes are afraid of foxes.
So he grabbed Zhu Songyun's hand dishonestly, and received a sweet smile from the other party: "Why are you afraid that I will run away when you dance? Hold on so tightly!" This clear laugh made several pairs of dance partners nearby understand it tacitly. He looked over at the two of them, which made Zhang Hanqing, who had impure motives, become embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything. He just grabbed her hand and said domineeringly: "I'm worried that if I move too much, I will throw you away. "
It was the first time since time travel that Zhang Hanqing was close to a girl, and he was willing to do so. Zhang Hanqing was inevitably a little distraught. He was not good at dancing to begin with. During his college years, he only learned slow dance for a few days in order to pick up girls. If he wasn't asking for abuse when he danced with the experienced Miss Zhu San, what was he looking for? But as for who tortured whom, it’s clear from the ending.
"Damn Qing Han, you have stepped on my feet so many times. How come you, a very smart person, can dance so stupidly? How backward must Fengtian be? The general's son can't even dance?" This is what I have experienced time and time again. After a heavy blow, Miss Zhu San couldn't help but complain.
Zhang Hanqing had no choice but to say Saorui over and over again. In any case, dancing and tapping your feet is a forgivable mistake, but making mistakes again and again cannot be forgiven. Fortunately, his understanding is very strong, and he still has some foundation in traveling and possessing this body. The important thing is that this dance is just a form of communication. No one cares whether it is from body to mind or from mind to body.
It took a while to get on the right track. Zhang Hanqing's original body began to exert strength, and his dance steps became more and more skillful. He could lead Miss Zhu San to dance all over the place. The most amazing thing is that his hands quickly learned to slide freely around her waist even in his busy schedule. And Miss Zhu San was slowly immersed in the fun, smelling the male scent coming from him, feeling dazed and confused.
During the Republic of China, the ballroom dance between young men and women came from the West. At that time, it had some sexual elements, which inevitably conflicted with the restrained Chinese tradition, thus giving it some Chinese characteristics. But don’t just think that ballroom dancing with Chinese traditional colors is very orthodox. Just like traditional Chinese sexual culture encounters the qualitative change in ideology and morality caused by Western sexual liberalization, the local will not necessarily win over the foreign.
Like this kind of ballroom dance in the early Republic of China, it can be a polite gentleman-lady style, or it can be transformed into a face-to-face dance style, just depending on the progress of the relationship between the two parties. After a short period of getting along, Zhang Hanqing and Zhu Songyun quickly reached a level of intimacy. Zhang Hanqing's hands could not only hold her waist freely, but also rotate around her waist as the dance music changed, and the two of them got closer and closer.
“Perhaps it’s because she often dances her body. Miss Zhu San’s waist looks very delicate and elastic to the touch. It seems that this is the benefit of exercise. As far as I can touch it, it's so soft and warm that I feel uncomfortable.Still in high spirits, Zhang Hanqing fell straight from the clouds into hell.
When the two danced to the top of their lungs, they were already very close to each other. The dance style of the Republic of China is said to be relatively open, but that doesn't matter. The key point is that Zhang Hanqing's hand was not holding her waist but rubbing it below her waist. That action is questionable.
Fortunately, the people I met were all relatives and friends, and they all knew Miss Zhu San’s background, so no one made a fuss. What Zhu Songjun cared about was that her parents were there, and she had to be a good girl, otherwise it would be okay if she was eaten by Zhang Hanqing.
Zhang Hanqing has loved dancing all his life. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

When the song ended and everyone dispersed, Zhu Qiqian said goodbye to everyone one by one. Feng Delin sold a car, but instead of getting back the glory, Zhang Hanqing became the center of attention, and his face was inevitably not good-looking. Feng Yong, on the other hand, was very single and took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Hanqing.
Zhang Hanqing, a small man, also bid farewell to the female relatives.
Since Miss Zhu San’s pink face turned red unpredictably, she has not said a word to Zhang Hanqing. When Zhang Hanqing said goodbye to her with a straight face, she said with a half-smile: "That Han Qing gave me a car as a gift. You, a talented man who does big business, stole his limelight. Do you have any ideas for me?" compensate?"
"Zhang Hanqing is just taking advantage of words, how can he have the spare money to pick up girls?" All he has is savings, okay? Besides, using money to pick up girls is not considered a skill, so what’s the difference between that and going to prostitutes? If a man has the ability, if a woman pays him back, he doesn't have the potential to be a pretty boy!
Looking at her red lips, I suddenly felt an impulse. What compensation? I really want to try it! He looked at the people around him and said boldly, "That's a betrothal gift they gave you. How can you compare with this!"
Zhu Songjun’s eyes widened: “If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth apart!”
Zhang Hanqing laughed loudly and stretched out his hand to touch his face as if he was scared and shy: "But what gift does sister want? If it costs too much, I may not be able to afford it. Do you really want me to give you my life?"
This is another time he mustered up the courage to tease the third lady. Anyway, after today, the two of them will have no intersection, and the free advantage will not be used in vain.
Zhu Songjun raised his eyebrows and suddenly calmed down: "You keep selling yourself so many times, I'm sorry if I don't accept it. My family is short of a servant, why don't you come and report tomorrow?" Strangely enough, Zhang Hanqing had a slick mouth. He always takes advantage of him verbally, but I don't have any bad feelings towards him at all.
When Zhang Hanqing saw that she didn’t have an attack, he said cheerfully, “If my sister needs a bed warmer, my little brother can do it.”
Zhu Songjun was defeated by him! She had thousands of words to fight back, but the place was wrong, as her parents and sisters were not far away. And women are no match for men in this kind of bickering! She said bitterly: "You bandit!"
After saying that, she felt a little regretful, and then she remembered that his father was a bandit. She doesn't slap people in the face, or scolds people without exposing their shortcomings. Based on her many years of experience in social circles, men are very taboo about their bad background.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "I didn't steal or rob you, so I can't be considered a real bandit! But it's good to be a bandit. There is a song in the Northeast that goes like this: 'Be a beard, don't worry. Eat big food, live in peace.' In a brothel, money flows like a river, and you are really freer than a god. It’s hard for others to envy you.”
Miss Zhu San has always been surrounded by handsome young men, who are knowledgeable in terms of knowledge and tutoring. They all worship her like stars over the moon. How can Zhang Hanqing be so eclectic? But that's what made her feel strange. Quarreling with him was like a breath of fresh air. Although it was too mean, it gave her a different look and feel. She spat: "You are not ashamed, but proud of it. You are almost knocking on the widow's door and digging up the graves."
Zhang Hanqing said proudly: "Sister, can I understand this as your compliment to me?"
There is no chance anymore, Miss Zhu San completely admits defeat. This Zhang Hanqing makes people hate and love him at the same time. He is both free and easy and cunning, but not annoying. On the contrary, she would have liked to bicker with him again, if given the chance.
She claims to be a famous lady in Beijing, and she also builds herself according to the requirements of famous ladies. No matter how she stands, sits, walks or stops, she is very precise and outstanding. Because of tutoring and fame, he has been hanging around in circles all day long, and he has naturally become a star. So much so that Tang Lusun said: "As time passes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and a new generation replaces the old. Each group is more outstanding than the other, with beautiful makeup and carvings, nine colors of Qionghua, and a graceful attitude. They just talk and laugh well. , it can also be just right!”
But, this is not the real her. She also has seven emotions and six desires, as well as joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, but she has been molded into a socialite leader, and the label is firmly attached to her body, making her want to stop. Moreover, the group of gentlemen around her kept circling around her like bees and butterflies, lifting her to the sky. As time passed, she naturally thought that this was who she was and that she should be treated this way.
In that kind of place, surrounded by those kind of people, her mentality was distorted. She was crazy about socializing, as if she couldn't show her difference otherwise. She has beauty, family background, and means, and men flock to her.
But these days will eventually come to an end, she will get tired of them, and she will start to hate men. So she tortured men in various ways, and doing vulgar things like chasing cars was a way for her to have fun
Until I met Zhang Hanqing.
She was neither arrogant nor arrogant towards her, and she did not take her, the so-called top social butterfly, seriously at all. Her desire to conquer came out again. The happiest thing is to whet his appetite and then kick him down hard, right? That's why she invited Zhang Hanqing to attend her birthday.
“Zhang Hanqing’s sudden success surprised her and increased her curiosity. She pretended not to know about Zhang Hanqing's gossip at the dinner table, but in her heart she was very amused. The man is well-informed and handsome, and he has a firm belief in making him fall under the pomegranate skirt. I have to think of a way to have another intersection with him while the friendship is still there.
She snorted and said, "It's up to you to interpret it however you want, but you ate me for nothing today. If you don't show anything, wouldn't it make you too proud?"
Isn’t it just a return invitation? I have been doing this in modern times, and I will not admit it if I don't know how to eat it thoroughly. Zhang Hanqing said meaningfully: "Sister, just tell me what you want to eat. How dare I give you a free meal? I'll treat you tomorrow."
What I want is this opportunity! Zhu Songjun smiled brightly: "Then I will wait for you to pick me up at home tomorrow? Don't be lying."
Isn’t it just a meal? Zhang Hanqing made a disdainful gesture: "It's a deal. Sister, keep your heart in mind and won't let your pigeons go."
"Letting pigeons fly?" Miss Zhu San didn't understand. She definitely didn't understand, because this sentence will be passed down to future generations. But the third lady thought astray: "Are you saying that my breasts are too small? Those men also talked about pigeon eggs, eggs, etc. in private. I don't know what they mean, but it must be a matter of men and women. This Zhang Hanqing How brave you are to talk about these things openly in public!"
She was embarrassed to say anything and said angrily: "Don't be afraid of not having money, my sister can lend it to you."
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "It's okay, at worst, I'll pawn my pants."
Miss Zhu San smiled "puff", very happy. If the pants are worn, the pigeon eggs will be exposed. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 60 The wrong brother and sister

Zhang Hanqing had a spring dream all night, and when he woke up, his towel was wet. This is his first time since time travel. The future handsome young man has grown up.
Getting close to Miss Zhu San was not intentional. But this unconsciousness allowed him to gain a lot. For his Northeastern plan, he needed Zhu Qiqian's fame to give him a little boost, and he had a fierce fight with Zhu Songyun, originally just to tie up this thread. But the third lady is too hot. As a normal man, he will not refuse if he has the opportunity to do something, and even accept it happily.
???????????????????????????????????????????????? and The third lady doesn’t seem to be angry even though she has been ambiguous with her words many times. It seems that this person is not as dignified as she appears. Maybe there will be some drama!
Zhufu is a courtyard house in Dongdan. Although it occupies a small area, it is located in the heart of Beijing. According to current sayings, the unit price is too high. Moreover, this courtyard with three entrances and three exits is not accessible to ordinary families. The wide and bright door silently tells others the identity of this home.
The Guangliang Gate is the highest-grade house gate among the courtyard houses in Beijing. It is the gate form used by officials and officials of considerable rank. Zhu Qiqian is the chief minister of internal affairs and an old man in the cabinet. His status is worthy of him.
Zhang Hanqing arrived by chance, as Zhu Qiqian had already gone to work. Yesterday I must have made a good impression on Lao Zhu. I originally planned to come and recognize the door while the iron was hot, but unfortunately I arrived a step too late. "Well, being behind in traffic kills people. I got up at seven o'clock, which is early enough, but I still didn't meet him."
At this time, Zhu Songjun was still sleeping soundly. For her, as a social butterfly, all important activities take place in the evening, day and night are reversed, and morning is the time to lie down.
Since he is here, he cannot leave rashly, because his reason is to meet his "sister Songjun", so he has to wait patiently and eat one plate after another of snacks. Fortunately, his family had already informed him that Zhu Songjun had gotten up and was dressing up. He has seen how slow women can be on dates. It is precisely because of her slowness that she shows how much she cares about her. If she just rushes into things or shows her true colors, then 80% of them are already in trouble.
I had already eaten breakfast, but now that I have eaten so much, my stomach is feeling bloated. Zhang Hanqing didn't want to sit still, so he walked back and forth in the living room, taking a look at the murals, so he took a walk.
The living room of the Zhu family is so big. If it is connected to the courtyard, it is probably more than a thousand square meters. Because in the urban area, if we were to live in future generations, what would be the point of owning such a house? He immediately jumped into the ranks of billionaires. After all, he is the new favorite of the times. In contrast, the aristocratic princes of the former Qing Dynasty had a difficult life. I heard that some had to pawn their houses to support their families. I don’t know which family owned this house in the previous dynasty? Sure enough, it is "in the old days, the swallows in front of the Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people." But who would have thought that in a hundred years, these buildings that once represented the image of Beijing would almost disappear within the Fifth Ring Road?
“He walked around so leisurely, he really didn’t think he was an outsider. Some servants of the Zhu family saw him sitting at the same table with the mistress and ladies at yesterday's birthday party. This time, it was the third lady who personally invited him in. Knowing that he had a close relationship, she only politely invited him to eat from time to time. .
I don’t know how much time passed before Zhu Songjun slowly went downstairs. When jet lag is disrupted, people naturally feel less energetic and appear lazy. But this normal life at home gave Zhang Hanqing a warm feeling. Zhu Songjun without makeup was what he really liked: thin eyebrows, slender hands, and that charming charm. With a sly smile on his face, he watched her walk over shirtless, taking off her shoes and holding her chest.
"Sister, morning."
We’ve only met each other for a day, but he’s very familiar with “sister, sister”. When did he start calling her that way? Zhu Songyun couldn't remember clearly, but there was no need to correct him. Besides, there was no need to correct him. He had been barking for a long time yesterday.
Although the sun was shining brightly outside, Zhu Songyun still said angrily: "I asked you to treat me to dinner. I came here so early in the morning that it made people uneasy - the sun is so bright outside, how can I go out?"
It’s only what time it is. At noon, unless you pick me up in an air-conditioned car, I won’t be too lazy to leave. There is sunshine during the day, is it possible that you and I should walk on the road at night? I like this!
Zhang Hanqing was not anxious or annoyed, but said happily: "Don't you want to see my sister earlier? Yesterday I went back and pawned several pairs of good pants, leaving only this pair on me. I exchanged some money to prepare Invite my sister to dinner and buy her a gift."
Zhu Songjun couldn't laugh or cry, so he just said that, he wasn't done yet. Thinking of the pigeon eggs, she inevitably glanced down. Because it was summer, Zhang Hanqing wore very few clothes, which made him look like he was wandering around. Why did you think of this? It’s not the pants that are causing the trouble!
With Zhang Hanqing’s family background, it is impossible to say that he has no money.?I want to have a good relationship with the Zhu family! Besides, there are only women from the Zhu family at that table. In front of so many people of the same sex, you have to act like a gentleman, right? Besides, you can’t be rude about the courtesy of sitting at the main table. As for his later talk that was so forthright that he took over the host's place, it was purely out of emotion. Mrs. Zhu didn't have much emotion, but she remembered his heroic face.
The more Mrs. Zhu thought about the news, the more she thought about it. Naturally, she had some tendencies in her words. The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the happier she becomes. Women also love to be pretty! Although Zhu Songjun is a queen in the social arena, she is as docile as a sheep when discussing marriage, which gave Mrs. Zhu the illusion that she has a lot to do!
So after some heart-to-heart talk, the third lady shyly agreed to get along with Zhang Hanqing in depth. With this in mind, she was naturally extremely sensitive to Zhang Hanqing's words.
This is teasing! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 61 Meeting a Girl
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhu Songjun's face turned red: "You are seeking death." He repeatedly used unclear words. Did he really think that he was a young lady who could never leave or enter? I have seen these words many times in the circle.
Zhang Hanqing was confused. Think about what he said. Is there anything wrong? What's wrong with people in this era? Could it be that I accidentally violated the other party's taboo? But seeing that the roots of Miss Zhu San's ears were slightly red, but there was no sign of anger, she could only shrug silently, making a disdainful rebuttal.
It was midsummer and we were at home, so the third lady’s dress was naturally not that particular. But it was this kind of carelessness that made Zhang Hanqing feel very moved: the third lady with light make-up was still quite pleasant without the heavy make-up commonly used in social interactions. To say that she can be ranked first among the socialites in the capital, she has a lot of qualifications. Not to mention the fullness of her chest, her two snow-white arms are quite eye-catching.
Seeing the third lady coming out, the servants all left voluntarily. Zhu Songjun, who had no outsiders present, regained her true nature. She stared at Zhang Hanqing fiercely and said dissatisfiedly: "Where are you looking! You didn't learn well early in the morning."
Zhang Hanqing is not a casual person, but he is not a casual person. Seeing that Zhu Songyun didn't show any signs of dodge even though he said this, he felt relieved: "My sister ran out by herself, and I didn't help put on the clothes. Do you blame me? Besides, there are two layers of clothes between them, so there's actually nothing to see." La."
Miss Zhu San is really annoyed this time. Just look at it, these are the things that attract men to women, so there is nothing to lose, but Xiao Zhang can’t stand it when she mocks her proud baby.
"Look at you, you big-headed devil." She was a little angry and a little hot. The relationship between the man in front of her and her suddenly had such a psychological breakthrough that she couldn't accept it for a while. After all, there was some meaning behind what my mother said last night. Zhang Hanqing didn't know it, but she felt like she had a rabbit in her heart.
To be honest, Zhang Hanqing is really good-looking. According to later generations, he can rely on his face to make a living, otherwise he would not be ranked as one of the four most beautiful men in the Republic of China. Miss Zhu San still had some prejudice against him when she first came into contact with him. After the birthday party, her opinion has improved greatly. After all, there are not many men who are handsome, talented, well-educated, and interesting.
After accepting her mother's instructions to get along well with him, Zhu Songjun accepted his invitation from the bottom of her heart. Although Zhang Hanqing's haste disturbed her sweet dream, she still said thoughtfully: "Wait here, I will freshen up and change clothes."
Zhang Hanqing stared at her swaying away, feeling a surge of heat for no apparent reason, and hurriedly picked up the tea cup and drank it all.
Tea is good tea. As an honored guest of the Zhu Mansion, how can we treat each other casually? But after waiting and waiting, there was no one there, and I don’t know how many clothes she had changed. Zhang Hanqing was really bored and had to drink one cup of tea after another. Only then did he realize that women, whether in previous lives or in future generations, are sensitive creatures of time and cannot care about it.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When Zhang Hanqing was about to explode after soaking in urine, Zhu Songjun appeared. As soon as he saw her, he knew that she had been carefully dressed: her hair was fluffy but not messy, her face was fair but her foundation was not visible, and her lavender cheongsam with some patterns was gorgeous but not sexy. She wore two silver silk scarves on her shoulders, which made her arms appear and disappear even more youthful. The high heels on her feet were very elegant against the cheongsam.
Seeing Zhang Hanqing staring straight at her, Zhu Songjun smiled sweetly and did not feel dissatisfied. There were so many men in the social circle who coveted her, and he regarded them as carrion, but Zhang Hanqing, a "hairy kid", also looked at her in this way, and his joy could not produce any annoyance.
"If those men in the social circle saw them, they would probably have to pay homage to them, right?" But Zhang Hanqing, who knows a little about style, said in a disgraceful manner: "It's just a meal, not a blind date. Why is my sister dressed up so beautifully?"
Although he is open-minded and contacts Zhu Songyun just to make it easier for him to get close to Zhu Qiqian, when handsome men and beautiful women are alone together, they are all at the age when they are in love, so it is inevitable that people will think wrong. If you make a joke like this, you can relieve Yanni's embarrassment.
But Zhu Songyun prefers this method. Zhang Hanqing was not like other men who flocked to her, but he seemed to be admiring rather than playing with her, which made her have a strong desire to fight: "Miss Third, I am a young and old man, and I still don't believe that I can't subdue you, a brat like you!"
She said with a smile on her face: "Has Han Qing figured out where to go?"
“Uh, I really haven’t thought about this yet. The weather is still early in the afternoon, but it is already feeling hot and muggy. It would be inappropriate to drive on the road; but we have to eat, and it has just been breakfast——I have already missed the meeting with Lao Zhu, although the Zhu family and others are very polite. , but you can’t stay in Zhu’s house for a day, right?
"I came to Beijing and haven't had a good time to go around. If my sister has a good place to go, I would like to recommend it as my host."
Zhu Songjun raised his head proudly, "Huh, I know you country people can't figure it out when you enter the city." This is not a remote rural area in the Northeast, this is the imperial capital! She thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there's not much to do, and the weather is hot But you can go boating in the Summer Palace to escape the heat, and it's also close to where you live."
The Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, and the Badaling Great Wall are places that tourists must visit in later generations. Zhang Hanqing was "studying" at Peking University. Although it was only a dozen miles away from the Summer Palace, he had never been there. It's not that I don't know, but I know it too well, because at this time, it was only more than ten years since the second fire of the Old Summer Palace, and the adjacent Summer Palace was not spared. As a member of the descendants of Yan and Huang, he really has no good mood to appreciate this ravaged land.
"But China is full of devastation, why can't we be so sad that we can't eat or sleep?" However, judging from Miss Zhu San’s dress, climbing the Great Wall with her was a bit too much. There was still a little emperor living in the Forbidden City. It was really the only place where he could quietly escape the summer heat and meet the needs of men and women for social interaction, so he did not refuse.
"However, Zhang Hanqing's preparations were obviously not sufficient. He could walk, but when Miss Zhu San travels, she needs vehicles to clear the way. Fortunately, Zhu Songjun knew that he was a foreigner living in Beijing and that he was a young boy. Naturally, he couldn't think so thoughtfully and didn't know what to do, so he ordered his family to prepare a car.
A car was parked outside the living room, and the driver had opened the door diligently.
When he came to this world, he had not had the opportunity to see the most advanced means of transportation of this era. When he saw Miss Zhu San holding her robe and about to get into the back seat, he quickly stopped her and said, "Sister, I am your host today, why don't you let me be your host for a day?" A dedicated driver."
Zhu Songjun stared at him in disbelief: "Can you drive?"
Zhang Hanqing was an old driver in his previous life. Of course, this old driver is not what Duan friends think, he is the real deal. Having the opportunity to experience the feeling of driving a classic car, this currently new thing has an unparalleled status in his mind. After all, one of the symbols of a modern army is mechanization.
He showed an innocent smile and blew the conch brazenly: "Of course, I opened it all by myself in Fengtian." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 62 Old Driver
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
This Zhu Songyun believes that after all, his family background is there. The presence of an extra driver will naturally ruin the atmosphere occasionally, although servants from large families are usually very self-disciplined. So she thought for a moment and said "Okay" and sat in the passenger seat.
Knowing that his third lady was used to being overbearing, the driver did not dare to refuse, so Zhang Hanqing sauntered into the driver's seat with the key in his hand. Although there are many differences between the vehicles of this era and those of later generations, the action of inserting the key should be the same, right? he thinks. But when he looked at the bunch of buttons and keyholes in the front row, he was stunned.
I only have one key, which one should I put in
The driver saw his embarrassment and was naturally surprised. When I saw him driving so confidently and arrogantly, I was filled with admiration and said that this is the magnanimity of a man from a wealthy family.
You must know that in the Republic of China, taking a driver's license test and being a driver were considered a prestigious profession. After all, it involved some technical content. Therefore, people who could learn to drive and take a driver's license were considered rare, and the main purpose of learning to drive was to support their families. But for children from rich families, it's different. It's purely for entertainment, and it's still a very high-end kind.
Because cars are a rarity these days, because there are very few car owners, few people learn to drive. For example, in the official history of Tianjin, as of 1936, there were less than 800 cars in the city; in Nanjing, there were more cars, with only 2,036 cars as of 1936; in Chengdu, there were even fewer, as of November 10, 1937, there were 36 cars in the city, including There are only 14 private cars.
That’s data from twenty years later, and it’s even less these days…
No matter what, start the fire first, otherwise it will be more embarrassing to stay there, and maybe he will be fooled. As long as the car buzzes, it's his world. Although he can't technically perform drifting, ordinary drag racing is completely fine.
So, under the watchful eyes of the driver and Miss Zhu Ben, he resolutely inserted the key into a hole and said goodbye energetically. Needless to say, he was really fooled. There was a bang and the car vibrated. Zhang Hanqing was full of confidence and smiled unnaturally with relief.
But he was immediately slapped in the face. The car made a roar, yes, but it was just that, and it stalled immediately. Looking at Miss Zhu San's unconcealable smile, Zhang Hanqing's face turned green.
Zhu Songjun held back a laugh and said, "Little brother, do you know how to drive? I see that Driver Liu is not so direct when driving."
Driver Liu hurriedly came over to smooth things over: "The car Mr. Zhang drives may be different from the one we have here. You see, our car burns gasoline. Before starting, you have to pull out the throttle button. This is to let out the air." Enter less to facilitate ignition. Then turn on the electrical switch, and then remove the key." After helping to start, he pushed the air door button: "You have to turn on the air again, otherwise it will stall soon."
After such an explanation, Zhang Hanqing was relieved. It's not that I don't know how to do it, it's just that the cars at this time are too backward, and the operation is naturally extremely complicated. How is it like driving in later generations: press the clutch, start, shift into gear, release the handbrake, release the clutch, accelerator, and go, all in one go? If you drive an automatic car, it's even simpler.
He felt confident again, and said to Miss Zhu San: "The cars outside our customs all start with just pressing the key. Why do we need so many actions? I will give my sister a car as a gift tomorrow."
Zhu Songjun smiled brightly: "Stop being so talkative, you dared to come empty-handed on such an important day yesterday, how dare I expect you to make up for the gift? Stop talking, watch the road, and drive your car well."
Zhang Hanqing said confidently as he pressed the clutch and shifted gears skillfully: "I am an experienced driver, and my words will not affect my driving" However, the resistance on his hand made him feel something was wrong. Did he change the gear? It's obviously a laborious lever! As soon as I pushed it, it didn't even shift into gear. Damn it, it is indeed a "mechanical" product!
It is inevitable to make another cover-up: "This gearbox must not have been oiled for a long time. It feels very raw."
Driver Liu hurriedly judged: "I have made an appointment for a major maintenance a long time ago, but I haven't had time because I have been using the car. When the third lady comes back today, I will oil the gears" I didn't expect this young man to be so powerful. He could see it at a glance. What went wrong needs to be explained carefully, otherwise his casual remarks will affect his own job.
I accidentally got it wrong, but I feel a little too sorry for Brother Liu. After all, he depends on this for a living, and he was kind enough to smooth things over for me just now, wasn't he? Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "It's okay, I just feel a little uncomfortable. I don't need to rush to refuel Besides, it's not good to dismantle the car all the time"
The driver nodded in agreement, feeling very grateful to Zhang Hanqing. Zhang Hanqing only relies on his ability to treat people in this worldA little knowledge: Unlike later generations when cars were popular, basically all veterans know some common sense about cars, and repair shops are all over the country. At this time, the driver is just a craft, and it is completely incomparable with maintenance. The level of maintenance will definitely not be achieved, and this should be understood.
Leaving slowly, Zhang Hanqing felt like a fish in water. I have been here for more than half a year, and this is the first time I touch the steering wheel. It feels so fresh, and a familiar feeling is getting closer and closer. Driving away from Zhu Mansion, Zhang Hanqing began to accelerate. Not to mention, although there were many differences from the driving experience of later generations, the sound of the engine was relatively loud, and his feet felt a little fleshy, Zhang Hanqing still felt the joy of driving. He pressed the accelerator harder and harder, and the speed of the car became faster and faster.
Looking at Zhang Hanqing’s comfortable demeanor, Zhu Songjun couldn’t help but complain: “What’s so good about driving? Why do men like to drive by themselves? My brother also likes to drive by himself – isn’t it good to just sit and enjoy it like this?”
Zhang Hanqing was driving vigorously and showed off without turning his head: "You don't understand. A man's feelings for the car are like treating his own woman. With the steering wheel in his hands, he has the initiative, creating a feeling that is unique in the world. The feeling of my hand. The road ahead is controlled by my feet. It seems that there are countless beauties waiting to be conquered forever"
Zhu Songjun raised her little hand and hit Zhang Hanqing on the shoulder: "You are seeking death, and you want to conquer countless beauties forever! You are only a little older, but you have such dirty thoughts. Men are really not good!"
Zhang Hanqing repeatedly complained: "You asked me, I just told the truth, okay? If a man doesn't chase a beautiful woman, why can't he go find a man! That's a perversion. And everyone has the love for beauty, Kong Shengren also said: Food, sex, and nature, I am just a mortal, and I am not Liu Xiahui, who does not eat the fireworks of the world and is still pregnant. Speaking of him, I wonder if this person has a physical problem?"
Zhu Songjun laughed so hard that his flowers trembled wildly, and a pair of things in front of him swayed wildly in the wind, causing Zhang Hanqing to bear a huge psychological impact. The bigger problem is that she has no scruples about her ability to commit crimes, or she does it intentionally, which makes Zhang Hanqing feel itchy but unable to do anything.
After laughing, Zhu Songjun suddenly said: "Han Qing, will you marry a little wife in the future?"
Zhang Hanqing thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Threeor five? How many do you want me to marry, sister?"
Zhu Songjun put on her pink face and snorted coldly: "Three or five more! You, at such a young age, can't indulge in beauty——Sister, I hate men who ask for their little wives. Like what you said before, why?" "Work hard for the rise of China," is a very good saying. As a man, you should focus on national affairs and not lose your ambition by playing with things."
Zhang Hanqing is dissatisfied, you are not my wife, why do you care so much? Women are beautiful, but they cannot be coquettish. Besides, no one puts three wives and four concubines in opposition to success.
"Women are not playthings," he said plausibly.
Zhu Songyun suddenly mentioned this today, which was not without purpose. From the tone of her family, it seemed that they acquiesced in her relationship with Zhang Hanqing. She was a trendy woman, but she could never tolerate other women sharing their future husband with her, so she took a precaution first. But from Zhang Hanqing's tone, this injection seemed to be of no use.
"As you say, men can have three wives and four concubines, why can't women have multiple husbands?"
Zhang Hanqing immediately responded: "That's not a good idea!"
He was greeted by a burst of pink fists, but the person who was beaten seemed to be very comfortable. Zhang Hanqing was excited for a moment. He smiled to avoid the attack and stepped on the accelerator. It was not a long journey to begin with, but with his speed, he reached the edge of the Summer Palace.
There are so many tourists, but few of them do not obey the traffic rules. Everyone goes their own way, which makes driving much more comfortable than in later generations. But for Miss Zhu San, Zhang Hanqing's unparalleled driving skills still made her heart palpitate. Her face began to turn pale. Her driver had never driven so fast before. She began to stammer: "Han Qing, please slow down, I, I'm a little dizzy!"
It’s only sixty yards! Are all people in this era papery? Even though she is a lady, she is too weak to be frail, right? Zhang Hanqing slowed down the car: "Sister, you won't let me keep driving forty yards, will you? Then we will go to the Summer Palace for lunch?"
He thought sixty yards was slow, but by the standards of the era, he was seriously speeding!
This is true, because the speed of cars in the Republic of China was generally very slow. Historically, in 1933, Yu Dafu traveled to Zhejiang, borrowed a car from a friend, and drove from Hangzhou to Fuyang at an average speed of 21 kilometers per hour; in 1934, Chinese Communist Party member Xue Shaoming was traveling in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, and he took a car from San From Taiwan to Mianyang, the speed is 15 kilometers per hour.
The above two examples are not driving in urban areas, but traveling on empty and deserted highways. First, there are no traffic police, second, there are no traffic lights, and third, there is no traffic jam. Even in this case, the fastest speed is only 26 kilometers per hour (this record was set by Yu Dafu). Now Zhang Hanqing has reached 60 with just a tap of the accelerator. This record will probably be surpassed by no one within twenty years, right?
Zhu Songjun looked at the buildings and trees that were flying backwards, and couldn't help but express her bitterness: "You drive so fast, can I still eat when we get there?" She suppressed the feeling of vomiting and said dissatisfiedly: "If you go slower, some."
There was no need for her to take care of him anymore, because Zhang Hanqing had already stepped on the brakes and parked the car steadily on the side of the road.

Chapter 63 Looking for trouble

No need to ask why, because there are traffic police ahead.
As a subconscious reaction of car owners, Zhang Hanqing stopped the car immediately after making his gesture and waited for inspection! But he suddenly slapped his thigh: "Oh no!" Because then he remembered that he was having fun, but he was still driving without a license.
He was the type who used to hate unscrupulous drivers who drove without a license. After all, car driving behavior related to life safety has always been restricted by laws and regulations. This is by no means "you can be willful if you have money" thing. Later, the strictest traffic regulations in history also increased the penalties for driving without a license, which will result in imprisonment. In his previous life, he was a well-behaved and good driver, but once he traveled through time and entered this kind of atmosphere, he unconsciously forgot about having a driver's license, which was a mistake.
During the Republic of China, you had to bring a driver's license when driving. If you didn't bring a driver's license, you would be fined, and the fines were quite severe. Even "foreigners" cannot drive without a license. Later, the Peking Municipal Government issued a "Traffic Code" that clearly stipulated: "If you need to drive a car in Beiping City, you must hold a driving license. Those who do not have a license will be fined ten yuan. Those who have obtained a license but do not carry it when driving will be fined Four dollars in silver." If you hit the road without a driver's license, you will be fined 10 oceans; if you have a driver's license but do not bring it, you will be fined 4 oceans.
Zhang Hanqing is not afraid of fines, but it is a very enjoyable thing to drive with a beauty, but you see so many envious eyes looking towards him. It would be so shameless to be punished by the traffic police!
Unexpectedly, the kind traffic policeman did not check his driver's license in a grand manner, but saluted him seriously, and then informed him with a face like spring breeze that the road ahead was closed and vehicles were prohibited.
“He underestimated his own value, or in other words, he didn’t realize that, being able to drive, he was already a member of a fairly high-status group in the society of the Republic of China. In this era, even the directors of various departments of the Central Committee may not have the opportunity or ability to ride in a car. At this stage, people who can afford and use a car are definitely looked up to. Why do they still need to check their driver’s license?
Seeing that the photo was not being checked, Zhang Hanqing became more courageous: "Road closure? Is there any accident?"
The traffic policeman was very kind: "The emperor wants his chariot to come to the Summer Palace in person. This young lady will not be able to have fun today."
Oh, it turned out to be traffic control, this is not unusual. Later generations of big figures and foreign dignitaries used this technique when visiting or visiting a certain place. Some leaders with modest official titles were also keen on this kind of pomp. But wait, the emperor is coming to do my shit?
After more than two thousand years of feudal royal power, the Chinese people's respect and awe for the emperor come from the heart, even when faced with a young emperor who abdicated. Originally, the Qing emperor only abdicated in the past few years. When they heard that the imperial chariot was coming in person, everyone had almost no complaints, and the people in front of them all retreated one after another.
But who is Zhang Hanqing? Coming from a modern white-collar worker, he feels towards the emperor like a tiger in a cage. He just has a curious mentality - being able to see the true face of the last emperor of China with his own eyes is enough to satisfy his desire for feudal society. *****'s voyeuristic desire.
He didn’t feel that kind of awe. On the contrary, he had a hundred thousand reasons to hate it. Without the Manchu Qing taking over the Central Plains, China's budding capitalism in the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty would most likely have evolved into another rebirth of Chinese civilization. The Age of Discovery, carried by capital, might have arrived, and China's isolation policy might not have happened. , so there will be no Opium War, Sino-Japanese War, no September 18th, no July 7th Incident, and no Nanjing Massacre
Therefore, he and his friends do not need to study English hard, because Chinese is likely to be the universal language; he does not need to leave his hometown to work for foreign-funded enterprises after graduation, because China is likely to be a capital-exporting country and an advanced industrial country. We stand on At the top of the profit chain…
“What qualifications does a down-and-out emperor have to still enjoy such superhuman treatment? The money spent to build the navy was used to build the Old Summer Palace, but it was burned down, the navy was wiped out, and the citizens were forced to accept the insult of one tael of silver per person. In the history of the world, except for the Indians whose civilization is far behind China, Is there anyone else?
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing felt as if his enemy was going to be extremely jealous when he saw him. He said dissatisfiedly: "We are already in the Republic of China, where does the emperor come from?"
Miss Zhu San knew the general situation. She gently pulled Zhang Hanqing: "Don't talk nonsense. According to the royal preferential treatment regulations signed at the time, the emperor is still entitled to all kinds of treatment. Let's move the car out of the way, blocking the way of the convoy behind. ”
Already, we could see a convoy of several cars approaching. There were more than a dozen horses clearing the way. Citizens along the way were getting out of the way. The police stood and saluted, and some people with unknown identities knelt down. ??. In an instant, the etiquette of the previous dynasty and the modern coexisted, which was spectacular.
At this time, a person ran from a distance behind and shouted: "Anyone who has nothing to do with it, please get out of the way. Your Majesty is here in person, delaying the trip, who dares to bear it!"
This man has the voice of a male duck and is not afraid of the heat even when running under the bright sun. If Zhang Hanqing hadn't been too curious about whether he was an eunuch, he would have praised his professionalism.
The policeman was also anxious. When he pointed at Zhang Hanqing, his original politeness became stern and he said, "Pull the vehicle over immediately!" Thank you, this emperor's signature is still very easy to use.
Is Zhang Hanqing so scared? During this time in Beijing, although I wanted to keep a low profile, gold will always shine. First, I was praised by Jiang Cai, and then I repaired my relationship with Duan Qirui, whom Yuan Shikai was most taboo on. Yesterday, I was praised by Gu Weijun. I'm afraid that this The name Yuan Shikai made my ears numb. Now his father Zhang Zuolin's support will leave a stain on history. If he is more wary of Lao Yuan, he may force his father to really tie him to Lao Yuan's chariot. It's time to cause some trouble. Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.
He is a man who fears that the world will not be in chaos. He doesn’t know if the emperor is here. Once he decides to do something strange, he will find a solution instantly. He ignored the policeman's gesture, hit the accelerator, turned the car around and blocked the road in the middle, blocking the road in front and behind, and almost knocking the eunuch who was opening the road away.
It was so unexpected that even the police had no time to react. Zhang Hanqing casually turned off the engine, pointed at the policeman who was about to pounce, and said, "What happened today has nothing to do with you. Don't get into trouble."
The policeman was stunned. Which family’s second-generation ancestor is this? It was clear that trouble was coming.
The people at the emperor’s feet have always had close or distant relationships with the powerful people in the court for several generations, especially since the Republic of China. There have been many new powerful people. When I often walk in the imperial capital, the policemen are all understanding. They immediately suppress the urge to step forward and say with a wry smile: "Master, aren't you putting me in trouble?"
"Chinese people have always been interested in being spectators. Otherwise, how could Lu Xun have criticized this as a bad habit of the Chinese people?" Everyone knew that it was the emperor who was coming, and Zhang Hanqing's action was not insignificant, and it immediately attracted many people to watch.

Chapter 64 Road Rage
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The ridiculously young Puyi was sitting in the car. He was only a 9-year-old child and was deaf to everything happening outside.
After the last emperor abdicated, according to the treaty signed with the government of the Republic of China, he could indeed do as the emperor wrote in his abdication edict: "Be able to retire to a leisurely place, travel for a long time, receive the courtesy of the people, and see Zhi personally." The cure is complete." The original imperial guard, that is, the infantry commander's office, still exists, and he still has super-national treatment. "The Republic of China treats each other with courtesy as the monarchs of other countries, and the original private property is protected by the Republic of China."
The Summer Palace is his private property, a royal garden, and it is also intended to be his permanent residence after leaving the Forbidden City. However, when the imperial system had been abolished, people from all walks of life strongly demanded that the Summer Palace be opened to the public as a park, and the Republic of China government finally succeeded in this matter.
But the Summer Palace is still under the daily management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the infantry commander's office is responsible for security matters. As the last emperor, Puyi still had personal freedom, but after leaving the Forbidden City, he could only come to this once private garden to lament the decline of the imperial family. At this time, the last emperor's pomp and ceremony were still indispensable, as his two concubines had to accompany him. How can I show my dignity as a concubine and an emperor?
All matters have always been handled by people sent by Jiang Chaozong. Commander Jiang was one of the few officials from the Republic of China who had a good impression of the Qing royal family, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner. But something is wrong today. Why do you keep stopping and not leaving? In the past, we drove directly into the Summer Palace.
He called a young eunuch: "What's going on?"
It was two hundred years since the founding of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. As the last emperor in history, he had few other achievements, but he spoke the Beijing accent with perfect accuracy. As soon as he spoke, the eunuch who was following the car immediately went to understand the situation.
The matter is very simple, there is just such a person, braving the disapproval of the world, blocking the emperor's way of patrolling.
Puyi ascended the throne at the age of three. At that time, he was still crying loudly, causing his companion next to him to blurt out "It's almost over" and his words became a prophecy. By the time I could remember the taste of being an emperor, the world had already changed hands.
“It’s okay to forget that the orphans and widowed mothers were deceived by Yuan Shikai, because they have military power. But it was unbearable to be humiliated by the former fart people. How could Xiaoxiao succeed if he couldn't afford to offend Lao Yuan? So when Puyi heard that someone was blocking the road with a car, he kept urging: "Take the infantry commander's Yamen and take people to drive him away!"
It is estimated that in the past, the word "bang" would probably have become the word "cut".
Without his instructions, there were already guards coming forward to greet him. As for the responsibilities, although it was paid by the government of the Republic of China, this department was directly responsible for the security of the emperor.
A man who looked like a leader came forward first: "Who is it? How dare you block the emperor's travel!"
Zhang Hanqing replied calmly: "A citizen of the Republic of China!"
At this time, Zhu Songyun was sitting in the passenger seat, neither sitting nor sitting. This Han Qing is so irritating. Why should he be so angry with an inferior emperor? Although she was always in the limelight, she was in a prestigious social circle and was surrounded by young men from aristocratic families. How could she be looked at like a monkey by a group of men, women and children now?
The leader was shocked by these words. The light tone and disdainful tone showed that the other party must have a lot of background. Just when he didn't know how to respond, he suddenly saw Zhu Songyun next to Zhang Hanqing, and his expression changed. In Beijing, whoever has some knowledge doesn't know the famous Miss Zhu San?
The soldiers are not afraid of her social fame, but she has a backing. The chief of internal affairs in charge of the national police is her father! As we all know, Director Zhu and his boss, Commander Jiang, have always been very unfriendly. Is there anything fishy going on here?
The full name of the Infantry Commander's Office is "Admiral Nine Gates Infantry Patrol Fifth Battalion Commander", which is commonly known as "Nine Gates Admiral". His official rank is Congyipin, which is equivalent to the current commander of the Beijing Garrison District and the director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau. It can be said to be a high and powerful position. . It can even affect the dethronement of the emperor. For this reason, infantry commanders played a pivotal role in all the court power struggles in the Qing Dynasty. The supreme ruler of the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to the selection of infantry commanders. Those who were not Manchus or close ministers could not hold this position.
After the founding of the Republic of China, the infantry commanding yamen was still retained because of its importance, and was called the "Beijing Infantry Commanding Yamen". In the early years of the Republic of China, many royal gardens in the western suburbs belonging to the former Qing royal family were all managed and protected by the Infantry Commanding Yamen. In order to facilitate nearby management, the Western Suburbs General Administration was added, and the former Summer Palace Infantry Commanding Yamen Office was used as the office. .
If this can be regarded as new wine in old bottles, there is nothing to praise. The key point is that Lao Yuan does not know what kind of mess he has committed, but he still?You have to know that the Revolution of 1911 changed your throne. If you are not careful, you won't even have a place to live! Not only you, but also your ancestors will not be able to survive underground! "
Didn’t Puyi become the emperor of Manchukuo in later generations? Finally, he entered the Fushun War Criminals Management Center. If the government hadn't been tolerant, he would have been ruined. It was by his fate that he finally became an ordinary citizen in Beijing. Compared with his wives, none of them ended well.
Wasn’t Cixi’s tomb dug up? She lived a glorious life, but was thrown into the wilderness after her death.
In this sense, Zhang Hanqing is right. However, until the truth is known, who would believe the prophecy that is not good for them? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 65 Conflict
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
"Who made such a big deal?"
A strange voice sounded from the side, which made people panic. Zhang Hanqing didn't see him, but he saw that the guards and policemen in front of him straightened their backs consciously, and he became energetic. Even Zhu Songjun couldn't help but pull Zhang Hanqing after hearing the sound, and he knew that a ruthless character was coming.
"The government of the Republic of China promised to give preferential treatment to the royal family, and Emperor Xuantong retained the royal treatment. This was written in black and white on the certificate of credence and announced to the world. If you dare to use this to make an issue, if it is a serious matter, it is contempt for the country; if it is a small matter, it is a threat to the national security. ! Believe it or not, just based on what you did and what you said, I will put you in jail!"
This man has a straight figure and a thin face, and you can tell he is a ruthless character at a glance. He is still young and wears a military uniform without being angry or intimidating. Like a divine dragon, he didn't see any movement, and he didn't know where he came from.
Zhu Songjun had already got out of the car, walked up to him obediently, and softly called out, "Hello, Uncle Jiang."
The man showed a smile and said with a smile: "So the three girls are here, what's going on?" Just now, he showed his fierce look, and suddenly the spring flowers bloomed. People couldn't stand his changes. It seemed that he was also serving food to others. Where is the Lord.
Zhu Songjun was not deceived by this illusion. She said politely: "That's it. My brother Han Qing and I came to the Summer Palace to play. Didn't you hear that because the emperor was not allowed to enter in person, my brother got angry and stopped the car?" Reason with them.”
"Oh, that's right. I'm going to criticize you for this: How big of a deal is the Holy Emperor's visit in person? How can it be a piece of cake? Today's incident has a very bad impact! If the chief knows about it, he will definitely criticize you! Uh, this Han Qing, are you the young master from Yuting?"
Miss Zhu San didn't know who Yuting was yet, but Zhang Hanqing was about to answer: "That's right my nephew. May I ask what I call this uncle?" The person who can be called "Third Master" by Zhu Songjun must be the same generation as his father. , anyway, after coming to Beijing, he knew either Shibo or Shishu, and he got used to it. Miss Zhu San, who was not afraid of anything, seemed to be more disciplined. He already knew who was coming, but he still had to ask this question. Sometimes he had to pretend to be stupid.
The man smiled and said, "It's normal that you don't recognize me. Although your father, Brother Yuting, and I were officials in the same dynasty, we can't live up to the title of 'Uncle Shi'. I am Jiang Chaozong, the commander of the infantry commander's yamen."
Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but let out a "thump" and secretly screamed that something was not good. If this person wants to resolve the matter, just ask a "nephew" to help him without any hassle. He reported his official position in a nonchalant manner, with a businesslike face, which meant he was preparing to bring the matter to light. Thinking of his relationship with Zhu Qiqian, everything became clear again.
Jiang Chaozong and Zhu Qiqian have been at odds with each other for a long time. There is no way. One of them is the commander of the Beijing Infantry Army and the other is the chief of the interior. In many cases, their powers overlap, which inevitably leads to some dirty things. The former controls the secret police, while the latter has public security authority. They are both Lao Yuan's right-hand men, and there is no distinction between them in terms of power. But in terms of reputation, Zhu Qiqian left Jiang Chaozong far behind. This can be seen from the list of members of the "Grand Enthronement Ceremony Preparatory Office" concocted by Lao Yuan. Both of them are members, but Zhu Qiqian is also the director of the department, so the closeness is naturally evident.
Where there are people, there is struggle. Jiang Chaozong would not disrespect Zhu Qiqian publicly, but once he could seize the opportunity, he would definitely spare no effort to promote it, such as today.
In fact, Jiang Chaozong already knew the identities of Zhang Hanqing and others before he came forward. Zhang Hanqing could take the main seat at Miss Zhu San's birthday party. In the eyes of caring people, this is not normal in itself. In addition, with Zhu Qiqian's help, Zhang Hanqing befriended the rising star Gu Weijun on the spot. This was a signal: Could it be that Zhu Qiqian wanted to build momentum for Zhang Hanqing? Why come? Thinking about the sensitivity of the third lady’s birthday and the unusual situation of Zhang Hanqing showing up in front of the Zhu family, the answer is readily apparent—this is the rhythm of the marriage between the Zhu family and the Zhang family!
“Given the current prominent status of the two of them, it is impossible for politicians who have made great achievements not to pay attention to them. But at this moment, Jiang Chaozong must do something, at least with the right attitude. Perhaps, this is also a very good opportunity to make full use of this matter to take advantage of Zhang Hanqing, and also bring Zhu Qiqian to his army, to let everyone know who has the power of public security in the capital.
Miss Zhu San naturally couldn't knock, and a girl was not good at doing something wrong with her. That really wanted to tear her face. But this was not the case for Zhang Hanqing: Although Zhang Zuolin supported Lao Yuan as emperor and shouted loudly, it was limited to shouting and did not play a big role. Those who were trusted by Lao Yuan were the "Six Gentlemen of the Security Council" Yang Du and Zhu Qiqian, who were actually in the capital, later known as the "Seven Fierce" and collectively known as the "Thirteen Taibao". At best, Zhang Zuolin could only be regarded asas peripheral personnel.
Although Zhang Hanqing has been in the limelight recently, Jiang Chaozong does not take him seriously. So what if Jiang Baili and Cai E, who have no military power, are just a little kid and praise them lavishly? Gu Weijun, who engages in bullshit diplomacy, cannot be put on the stage. Zhang Zuolin cannot quench his thirst for water, and his relationship with Miss Zhu San has not been made clear. As long as the relationship is unclear, Jiang Chaozong will not directly fall out with Zhu Qiqian, but he can actually control Zhu Qiqian. Moreover, as a loyal royalist, he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Hanqing's blatant contempt for the authority of the emperor, otherwise he would not have reprimanded him first instead of discussing friendship.
By sorting out the little guy Zhang Hanqing, I can show others that in the capital, Jiang Chaozong still has a way!
But Zhang Hanqing will not be fooled by his sudden appearance of kindness. Even though he is on the "campus", his eyes are not distracted at all. Feng Delin and his son failed to climb Zhu Qiqian's big tree yesterday, and that night they heard that they had gone to visit another powerful man, Jiang Chaozong. Outsiders will not know what they talked about specifically, but it is said that Feng Delin was happy when he came out, and Jiang Chaozong sent Feng and his son out of the door for the first time. Later, news came out that Feng Delin and Jiang Chaozong had made an arrangement to have children.
Then, today happened immediately.
Originally, the matter was not serious. To put it bluntly, it was just a small quarrel between the younger generation and the former Qing emperor. It was not even an ordinary security incident. However, Jiang Chaozong's tone and actions did not sound like giving up, which made Zhang Hanqing instinctively vigilant.
Jiang Chaozong was fierce and his expression began to look bad. Before Zhang Hanqing could speak, he answered himself: "Although you call me Uncle Shi, today I still want to help you with marriage or not! After the Qing emperor abdicated, he still enjoyed the courtesy of the king. This was guaranteed at the beginning of the Republic of China. , Besides, the Summer Palace is also a royal private garden. If you make such a big fuss, it is not in line with emotions, reason, and law. How do you plan to end it?!" On the ground in Beijing, he is the king! No matter how strong Zhang Zuolin is, he is only in Fengtian.
Seeing that his words were becoming more and more severe, Zhu Songyun felt that something was wrong. Although her father never criticized officials in front of their sisters, as a fierce rival when he was the Minister of Internal Affairs, Zhu Qiqian still revealed his dissatisfaction with Jiang Chaozong at some point, which also made her vaguely aware of Jiang Chaozong's personality.
Zhang Hanqing has now been branded by her Zhu family in the officialdom. At least it is obvious to everyone that she is appreciated by her father. If he was humiliated, it would be no different than slapping his father in the face, because it was only yesterday. As we all know, the relationship between his father and Jiang Chaozong has always been bad. She then smoothed things over and said: "Brother Han Qing is young and ignorant, and it is inevitable that he will be a little angry when he speaks. Although he clashed with the emperor, fortunately he did not make a big mistake. After he returns, my father will definitely criticize him severely if he finds out."
Jiang Chaozong's face trembled, and he sneered: "How can you be praised by so many people because you are young and ignorant? I think it is true that you are young and frivolous! Third girl, uncle Shi, I can't handle this matter today if I don't handle it." I’m going to explain it to the public. The civil law is so great that no one is immune.”
Miss Zhu San began to worry. Jiang Chaozong wanted to go online, but she had no choice. This person, even if he can ignore his father sometimes, will he still care about her who is powerless? She looked at Zhang Hanqing worriedly, her mind in a state of confusion.
Zhang Hanqing is a bachelor. Since he wants to break up with him, he might as well break it up! Anyway, in the end, he couldn't do anything to himself, and with Lao Yuan's influence, General Cai's influence, and Zhu Qiqian's face, there was nothing wrong with him. At the worst, Lao Yuan will send himself back to the Northeast, which would be even better. After thinking about this, he smiled and said: "Commander Jiang can be selfless. My father has always been clear about grudges, so of course he would praise him. Even Xueliang himself admires him very much - I don't know what crime Commander Jiang is planning to use. Deal with me?"
Jiang Chaozong's original intention was to use his power to suppress others, and then let Zhang Hanqing surrender. Anyway, it would be enough to break his spirit. His intention of being a drunkard was not on Zhang Hanqing. But Zhang Hanqing asked him so uncooperatively that he was unable to answer for a while. His anger suddenly rose: Don't give up, right? Then I'll slap you in the face! Even if your father is Zhang Zuolin!
He chuckled and said, "You offend His Majesty the Emperor as a commoner, which is disrespectful in itself! If you block the traffic, I can definitely punish you for causing trouble! Both crimes will be punished. You still want to visit the Summer Palace and go to the Tianlao to look at the well. Go!"
Zhang Hanqing nodded: "When I first heard Master Jiang's words, I thought it was a crime of disrespect during the Qing Dynasty! Is Mr. Jiang following the laws of the Qing Dynasty or the code of the Republic of China? He is a scholar with little knowledge, but he also We know that our Republic of China does not have this crime. If Mr. Jiang is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, he can make a fuss about this! But now that we are in the Republic of China, these old imperial calendars should be read!
My father has always admired the president and advocated the monarchy, but he admired President Yuan as the emperor, not the little emperor in front of him! What, are my father and I at fault? I now know that the emperor whom Mr. Jiang claimed to be loyal to turned out to be this little emperor! But people have their own love, so Mr. Jiang doesn’t have to impose his will on me, right? "(Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)The emperor is not the little emperor in front of him! What, are my father and I at fault?

With one sentence, Jiang Chaozong was sweating.
Now is the critical moment for Lao Yuan to proclaim himself emperor, and princes from all walks of life are vying to express their support in an attempt to gain favor. As a close confidant of Lao Yuan, Jiang Chaozong understands Lao Yuan's psychology more deeply than others. At this time, he expressed his preference for the imperial family of the former Qing Dynasty. Although he would not be believed by Lao Yuan, there would always be dissatisfaction. There are no two days in the sky and no two kings in the country. This is a loss no matter what. Once someone says something in Lao Yuan's ears, there will always be a chance for retribution in the future.
He is an old minister of the former Qing Dynasty, so of course he is somewhat psychologically close to him. But compared with the real temptation of power, of course, hugging Lao Yuan's thick legs is more reliable than that little emperor. Zhang Hanqing's words of "childish words are unbridled" forced him to express his stance. People from the Capital Law Enforcement Department were everywhere, so how could he know that there wasn't anyone around him?
"Nonsense!"
Jiang Chaozong quickly adjusted his rhythm: "Only you, a child, can compare today's matter with that of the President. I respect the former Qing emperor, and it is on the orders of the President to properly protect Zhou Quan without violating the laws of the Republic of China. That is my duty and my duty! The former Qing emperor should be treated with the same courtesy as the Republic of China treats foreign kings. What's wrong with this?"
Although he said this, he always said "former Qing emperor", his enunciation was very clear, and he obviously felt the pressure. No matter what, we can't dwell on this matter all the time. It doesn't matter that Zhang Hanqing is a little kid, but his wealth and life belong to Lao Yuan.
Zhang Hanqing shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Then I'm not guilty of being disrespectful?" He said it lightly, but Jiang Chaozong was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood: This kid wants to look good on me! He was so angry that he said, "You violated the etiquette regulations by deliberately bumping into the former Qing emperor. According to the law, you should -" He was suddenly speechless, because there is currently no law in the Republic of China that stipulates this, because normal people , who would find fault with that little emperor?
Seeing that he was speechless, Zhang Hanqing accepted the request and said, "What Mr. Jiang needs to understand is that before this, Xueliang didn't even know that he was the former Qing emperor. He just had some quarrels with others." The dispute. Since it was not intentional, it cannot be said to be a deliberate collision. However, no matter how well the former Qing emperor enjoyed the treatment, he was just an ordinary citizen in terms of civil law. If there is an unintentional quarrel between citizens, Mr. Jiang, you What do you think should be done?”
Jiang Chaozong is too lazy to care about the verbal disputes between ordinary people. Even if the outline is given, it is only a reprimand at most. Can it still be sentenced?
Jiang Chaozong’s spirit is bitter. He is a warrior who only has eyes for action. If Zhang Hanqing hadn't been an extraordinary person, how could he have discussed the legal provisions with him in such a leisurely manner? But when it comes to the stage of talking about words, although he is a law enforcer, he knows very little about the legal provisions. How can he compare with the smooth-tongued Zhang Hanqing? The key is that the other party dares to say it, because he is just a little kid, and he is a national official. He not only wants to prevent being caught in such political turmoil, but also takes care of the dignity of the person in charge.
It seems that it is impossible to give Zhang Hanqing a blow, at least today it will not be possible, because with Zhu Songjun around, he cannot act rashly, otherwise Zhu Qiqian will definitely take the opportunity to give him a blow. The two men were in charge of the secret police and the public police respectively, and they were constantly fighting openly and secretly. He could not let this low-level handle be taken away from him.
A quarrel cannot convict Zhang Hanqing. It's bad enough that he, a leading general, still failed to bring the situation back. It's better to end this conflict as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer it drags on, the more jokes will spread to the mouths of his colleagues - Zhu Qiqian isn't it? Have you always wanted him to look good? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he said rudely: "It's useless to talk more. Now that you know you are facing the former Qing emperor, why don't you make way quickly! Are you going to ask my men to ask you to leave?"
Zhu Songyun had been listening to the two of them arguing, and finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time. As soon as Zhang Hanqing started the car and left, everything was over. This was a relatively good result.
But what he met was Zhang Hanqing.
????????????????????????????????????????????? away, strictly speaking, it is wrong to block the road by yourself. Zhang Hanqing was ready to get in the car and leave. But at this moment, Pu Yi's unexpected words made him change his mind.
"You shouldn't hurry up! This has already delayed us for more than half an hour."
Zhang Hanqing is a bloody man and hates the dandy style of the Qing Dynasty and the Eight Banners disciples. He has no good impressions of the little emperor. When I act like this, do I win or lose? Don't you have to leave in despair? An idea came to him. He only turned off the engine halfway when he got into the car. He let the engine make a slight "boom" sound and then turned off the engine. Then he slowly opened the door and got out.
? ?"The car broke down," he said calmly.
Everyone could see that he was causing trouble, but no one could say anything. You care about heaven and earth, but you can also care about shit and farts? It’s not that he doesn’t cooperate, it’s actually the car that doesn’t cooperate! Whose car doesn't break down sometimes?
The car belongs to Miss Zhu San, he is just a "driver". After fighting with Jiang Chaozong for a long time, it was time to fight against the Zhu family. He has offended Jiang Chaozong to death. In order to prevent his father from suffering a loss in the center, he needs the full cooperation of the Zhu family. Let’s see how the commander of the Bujun Yamen deals with the car of the Chief of the Interior’s family?
So Commander Jiang encountered a new problem. Pushing the car away under such circumstances would be a disservice to Zhu Qiqian. There was a big "Zhu" written on the tail of his car. If he hadn't pushed it away, the "broken down" car would have blocked the road of the convoy. , if word spreads, it will be said that he has no ability to adapt to changes!
So he finally got angry and said to his men: "Push this broken down car to the side of the road!"
This time Zhang Hanqing did not stop him. The road has been blocked for such a long time, and a leader comes out. The result is nothing more than a roadblock caused by a malfunction, which is not embarrassing.
Puyi only saw a bunch of guards pushing the "blocker" to the roadside. He thought it was Jiang Chaozong showing off his power. When the vehicle approached, he said to Zhang Hanqing like a demonstrator: "Tell the Summer Palace tour team that I don't like this." Man, from now on, we will not allow him to enter the Summer Palace!"
Zhang Hanqing was no longer interested in visiting the garden. After hearing this, he pointed at his nose and said sternly: "You are just a deposed emperor, but you are still so arrogant! One day, I will watch you get out of the Forbidden City and watch your ancestral graves being dug up." , watching your people wandering around begging! You will bear the sins your royal family has committed against China! I will also make you regret your words today ten thousand times!"
In this harsh voice and look, Puyi finally became frightened, and he shivered and retracted his head into the car. The two queen mothers next to him gently hugged him and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, he is just scaring you. The abdication of our Qing Dynasty is borne by President Yuan Da, and no one dares to move!" "
But after all, Yuan Shikai cannot live a long life. Who after him will actually abide by this agreement is something that the short-sighted princesses cannot predict.
This was the first time Puyi met Zhang Hanqing in his life, and he was deeply impressed.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:? Zhu Qiqian, the owner of the car, is the chief of internal affairs, and they will do their best to complete the officer's orders, they will do their best. With a "boom", the vehicle was pushed and crashed into a rock on the side of the road. Although there was no serious injury, a large piece of paint was smashed off, which made Miss Zhu San stomp her feet in distress.
In addition to feeling distressed, there is also a burning slap in the face.
Naturally, after the group of people separated, Zhang Hanqing miraculously started the car again.
Zhu Songjun was very angry. She was shocked by Zhang Hanqing's sudden dandy style: Well, why should you offend Jiang Chaozong? Just to inexplicably "teach" the former Qing emperor a lesson, my good mood suddenly disappeared.
So when Zhang Hanqing asked her what she had for lunch, she said angrily: "What else can I eat? I'm so angry!"
Instead, Zhang Hanqing persuaded her: "Actually, there is nothing to be angry about. It was just a small conflict. Just wait for a few years to find an opportunity to get it back."
He said it in an understatement, as if he could really regain his position. Zhu Songjun was both angry and funny. They had only known him for less than two days. He was presaging Gu Weijun's friendship with the Americans and planning to regain his position in the future, as if he were the master of the world. Remembering that yesterday he brazenly booked a birthday gift for her to supplement her so-called "profit" in the future, was he suffering from delusion?
"You did it on purpose, right?" She asked, "It seems that you intended to conflict with Jiang Chaozong?" After all, he grew up in a bureaucratic family. Although he didn't care about politics, he was naturally sensitive.
This is true, Zhang Hanqing did it on purpose.
Since the news came out last night that Jiang Chaozong and Feng Delin were engaged to be married, he had a sense of crisis. Just as a country cannot be left without a master for a day, there is only one governor of the three eastern provinces in Fengtian, but there is no boss of the province. Although he knew that his father finally won the game, after experiencing his own unexpected birth, who knew whether the ironclad events would change? What if God insists on making me go around in circles?
Unable to destroy the relationship they were about to form, he needed his father's help in court. Although Zhu Qiqian has a good impression of him, it is only a good impression. Whether he will mobilize his connections to help his father is still unclear.
Whether what happened today was your own idea or unintentional, anyway, by coming forward with Miss Zhu San, the relationship with Jiang Chaozong was settled. With this conflict, whether Zhu Qiqian is active or passive, he will not be angry with Jiang Chaozong anyway. Because in terms of appearance, if you take the Zhu family's car, you are theoretically a guest of the Zhu family. If you give yourself a hard time, you just can't get along with the Zhu family.
In addition, they have always been at odds On major issues of right and wrong, Zhang Hanqing is confident that Zhu Qiqian will vote for his father.
However, he absolutely could not agree with Miss Zhu San's accusation: "What's intentional? I deliberately found trouble with the little emperor, but I didn't expect to alert Jiang Chaozong to come forward." He looked at Zhu Songyun Expression: "Is there any conflict between Shibo and Jiang Chaozong? I think you are a little afraid of him, sister." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?He is a guest of the Zhu family. If you give yourself a hard time, you just can't get along with the Zhu family.

When the topic came to him, Zhu Songjun was successfully diverted: "It's not that he's afraid, it's that he has always been at odds with his father, so he tried hard to grab my pigtails, and then deliberately revealed to his father that he wanted to sell it in the name of selling well, but in fact he wanted to My father is good-looking. For this, I was scolded many times by my father."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Miss Zhu San is not only the center of attention in social circles, but also remarkable in life But you are always a girl. Speaking of it this way, my performance in Fengtian is a role model among peers
"It turns out that my sister is also suffering from it. I should have known it earlier today, and I have to find a place for my sister, which makes us unable to have fun in the Summer Palace. It's getting late, and my little brother's stomach is growling with hunger. We It’s more important to find a restaurant to eat. Don’t worry, I’ll treat you to a treat, I’ll fill you up with big fish and meat"
Zhu Songjun is also heartless, otherwise he would not do the ridiculous thing of asking his suitors to "woo the car". As soon as she talked about eating, she forgot about today's unhappiness and began to teach Zhang Hanqing a lesson, which was full of family treasures:
"As for food, the Manchu-Han Banquet and Shisan Jue in old Beijing are very good. Unfortunately, the Man-Han Banquet is too big for the two of us to eat. The Thirteen Jue is good, but it is just a snack and cannot be cooked properly. The Eighth Building is good. , I’m only worried about whether you have enough money; but asking you to treat you to the Diaoluo Shaobing from Shaobing King and the millet porridge from Tiantai Pavilion is too easy on you"
Zhang Hanqing felt a little timid as he squeezed the twenty yuan in his pocket. He dared to stop the emperor's car and dared to challenge Jiang Chaozong, who was in charge of the judiciary. However, he had to take the risk of "begging for free" to eat a big meal, which really stumped the heroic man. The first two can be said to be unafraid of the powerful when word spreads out about them, but what does it mean to eat a king's meal?
Fortunately, Miss Zhu San just kept counting and didn't pay attention to the changes on his face:
"'Zhengyanglou's hot-boiled mutton is as famous as 'Donglaishun''s mutton, and its big crabs are also good, but both of them are Shandong cuisine, and I can't get used to other dishes; Dongxinglou's sauce The juicy carp is a must-have, but it doesn’t taste good today Quanjude is worth a try.”
In this business, everyone knows that Quanjude is a roast duck restaurant, which will be a "well-known trademark in China" for later generations. Although I have never eaten it, does a roast duck hold up an ocean? With Zhu Songjun's size, wouldn't she be bored to death? "Then let's all gather together and take charge!" Zhang Hanqing was high-spirited.
Quanjude, which became famous in Beijing in later generations, is located between two small alleys on Roushi Street outside Qianmen. When it was first founded, a blind fortune teller told its founder Yang Quanren that the topography was "like two sedan poles. In the future, a A building is like a sedan chair with eight carriages, and the future is limitless." After decades of hard work, it has truly become a well-established name in the capital.
Coming to this time and space, it was the first time that Zhang Hanqing received the earth energy of later generations. After all, the name of Quanjude is the shadow of roast duck. It is said that the ducks roasted by Quanjude are beautiful in appearance, plump and plump, bright in color, jujube in color, crispy in skin and tender in meat, delicious and fragrant, fat but not greasy, thin but not woody, winning the title of " It has the reputation of "the delicious food in the capital is better than duck". Whenever you come to Beijing in the past life or the next life, you must try this delicious food.
There are not many people in the store. After all, this is a place that is either rich or expensive. Ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to have a good meal here. That is to say, only the second generation of Zhang and Zhu would choose to come to this place in this kind of weather.
Zhang Hanqing is very interested in eating, but there are more interesting things here than eating. No, the conversation between the two well-dressed people next to him made him prick up his ears. It seemed to be related to a transaction, but the content of the transaction was of great interest to him.
"Brother He, I came to you to discuss the sale of the palace. We Fujin said that the price is negotiable. The key is to be quick and keep it secret. If other princes hear the news, you know, This matter will be difficult to handle." This is a middle-aged man dressed as a banner man, with a big face and big ears, and he looks very lively.
The person opposite seemed to be an intermediary, and he was called Fang Xian in this world. He also whispered: "After all, such a big mansion cannot be sold with great fanfare, and it is really difficult to find a buyer who can deliver such a large sum of money." . The villain will pay special attention to it, but this commission"
The bannerman quietly typed a number with his fingers. Zhang Hanqing glanced at it, but it was two fingers. According to the common knowledge of real estate agents in later generations, the unspoken rule is that the buyer and the seller each take half, which should be a five-thousandth share. This person only paid two thousandths of the money. Of course Fang Xian, who was called Brother He, was very dissatisfied: "Manager Tong is very dishonest! In today's world, there are not many customers who can spend so much money, and they have to do it privately. Brother, do you know how many contacts I need to use? This will take a lot of time! I am not bragging. Please ask in our industry whether you can find someone who is willing to pay this price to do this business. ?With such a huge family property in Prince Yu’s Mansion, if you want toEntrust me.
I thought it was a good thing, so I agreed. So yesterday I met the American. It turned out that he was the chairman of the Rockefeller Foundation. His name was Frederick Gates. As soon as we met, he told me that he wanted to build a large-scale hospital, at least one hundred acres in size. Since it was necessary to facilitate and effectively discuss academic issues with the previously established Union Medical College, it was best for this hospital to be far away from the Medical Hall. Not far. So I looked all over that area on the map and identified a few locations.
Originally, I wanted to take another look in person, but just now, I decided to settle on a place. If this land is bought, not only will it be enough for the Union Hospital, but it will also be able to repay what happened today! However, with my status, it is not convenient for me to go there rashly, and people do not believe me. This requires you and me to come forward, sister. "
Miss Zhu San was curious: "Where?"
Zhang Hanqing pointed to Dongxu and said softly: "Prince Yu's Mansion!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 68 Intermediary
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
"Prince's Mansion?" Zhu Songyun was a little confused. But she didn't need to think too much, Zhang Hanqing had already walked to the opposite side.
The butler named Tong sighed. The food on the table only moved a little, and he no longer had the appetite to eat. If things don't work out, I will be disgraced to my employer after all. Moreover, my employer's family is in a difficult situation and it is no longer enough to support the original generosity.
I had already thought that I would be tricked at this time, but I didn’t expect that they would open their mouths and directly dare to ask for two points! Based on the previously estimated house price, this is a full 4,000 yuan, enough for a small family to live for a lifetime! He couldn't arbitrarily decide on this result, but how should he tell his employer?
While he was thinking about it, he saw a young man calmly walked to the chair opposite him and sat down. He was stunned for a moment but didn't recognize him. Just when he was about to ask, the young man spoke first and said, "Butler Tong? Nice to meet you."
Butler Tong is well-informed, and he feels extraordinary when he sees Zhang Hanqing. It's not that Zhang Hanqing has become a bitch after time travel, but that he knows how to act cool. Since the Republic of China, the cabinet, prime minister, and ministers have taken turns taking turns, naturally producing countless second-generation rich people. It is normal that many people do not know them, and besides, they are not in official circles.
However, a minimum of etiquette is required. As the head of the royal family, he was naturally influenced by this. He smiled and said: "Forgive me for being rude, who is your Excellency?"
Zhang Hanqing met his puzzled gaze and said calmly: "My surname is Zhang. Butler Tong will call me Xiao Zhang. I happened to overhear your conversation just now——" Seeing that Butler Tong's eyes were already Staring wide, he smiled and suppressed the nervous voice that the other party was about to make: "Don't worry, I know the rules of this industry. It is necessary to keep confidentiality to the employer. I just suggest that Butler Tong be patient and listen to what I have to say."
Can you not listen? Who knows the origin of this kid?
Seeing that he had subsided his surprise, Zhang Hanqing said slowly: "If Prince Yu's Mansion is to be sold, I have a good buyer. Not only will the money be given quickly, but there will be less trouble in the future."
Now Butler Tong is interested. The key is that Zhang Hanqing is confident. His confidence and demeanor are quite attractive. Moreover, the business that is about to go into decline will inevitably have ripples in my heart. He lowered his voice and said, "Oh, I'd love to hear the details."
Zhang Hanqing didn't hesitate and said bluntly: "My boss is a foreigner. He wants to build a, uh, school in Beijing. If the price is right, I am willing to be the middleman. You know, foreigners are very Those who abide by the rules are not afraid of recurrences in the future. As long as the contract between the two parties is signed, both the house and the money will be settled, and everyone will be happy. If it is sold to a Chinese, I am afraid that people from other princes will put pressure on it, and there may be another setback. .”
That’s true. Ever since the defeat of the Opium War, the status of foreigners in China has been quite high, and Chinese laws have little binding force on them. After many turmoils, ordinary Chinese people absolutely respect them like gods.
Although it is no longer the case in the Qing Dynasty, there will still be many old people and young people who will object to selling the palace privately. After all, it is a matter of losing face. In the late Qing Dynasty, the nobles had lost their power. If they lost their face again, would they still be able to live? Domestic intermediaries, like the one named He, although they really want to get the money, they use this worry to increase their commissions.
Now that foreigners are involved, they are certainly much more reliable than Chinese people.
So, Butler Tong was pleased to think that Zhang Hanqing was just a comprador, and his words were somewhat credible. However, when doing business with foreigners, this is still the first time for a young girl to get into a sedan chair, so she can't help but feel a little hesitant: "Which buyer can afford this price?"
Listening to their conversation just now, Zhang Hanqing estimated that it was only 200,000 silver dollars. He didn't feel that the money was big at first, because in later generations, a "birdcage" in a third- or fourth-tier city would not be able to get it without three to five million yuan, let alone this in the imperial capital! And although I have never seen Prince Yu's Mansion, it is said that the name of the Human Shadow Tree covers an area of ??150 acres. It must be larger than a courtyard house, right?
But he never thought at first that an ordinary courtyard house would be worth 80 million in later generations!
Therefore, the price is not expensive, and I believe the United States is also happy to facilitate this transaction.
It’s not that he is “eating the inside out”, it’s actually that he is very happy to see these down-and-out nobles brought back to their original form. The parasite that has been parasitic on the Chinese people for two hundred years should be dusted off! In addition, he fully supports the opportunity for China to obtain medical progress for free. Others don’t know the origin of the Rockefeller Foundation, but he knows it very well!
Because it is it that has single-handedly contributed to the best hospital in China for future generations - Peking Union Medical College Hospital; it is it that has single-handedly contributed to the best medical school in China for future generations - China University of Science and TechnologyEven so, do not deny any positive influence they have brought to China.
What’s wrong with people using spiritual infiltration to capture the hearts of Chinese people? It is a hundred or ten thousand times better than countries like Japan and Russia using force to carve out large tracts of Chinese territory! The United States is also the only empire in modern Chinese history that has not taken away any territory from China! Although he provoked a civil war in China by supporting agents and personally fought two wars with China in Korea and Vietnam, in all honesty, there is nothing wrong with each acting for his own national interests.
What’s wrong is China’s weakness itself! If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This has been a lesson learned for thousands of years! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

After being praised by Cai E and valued by Jiang Baili, and making a splash at Zhu Qiqian's daughter's birthday party, Zhang Hanqing, a little-known young man, really became famous in Beijing: he was capable of literature, martial arts, making money, and was extremely daring. Especially earning the first gold in his life made him happy for a few days.
But it was quickly diluted by new pressure.
People who have no long-term worries must have short-term worries. If only to earn tens of thousands of dollars, just go back a few days ago and win the latest lottery, and there is no need to travel so far! Our Master Zhang is ambitious, okay?
It’s not that he has a problem with his living expenses, but that after planning for a long time, many of the projects he had in mind to develop the Northeast could only stay in his mind. The cheap dad had to prepare the money for the martial arts hall and arsenal in advance himself, and he couldn't just let his son contribute. What Zhang Hanqing cares about most is things that can make Fengtian Finance make money. There is no money to build an army. The word "militancy" is most appropriate to describe it——Eh? This word seems to exist just for it?
Now that Japan’s control and penetration of Northeast China is not as tight as it was later, Tsarist Russia is about to undergo an earth-shaking change. How can we take advantage of the trend during this period and let the future Fengcian faction come out of the cage in advance to reduce chaos in China? How can Fengjun, who will grow stronger in the future, have a steady stream of financial resources to support its position as one of the three-thirds of the world and wait for an opportunity to end the future disputes among the Three Kingdoms? Zhang Hanqing was very troubled. You must know that the reason why Wei finally annexed Shu and Wu in the history of the Three Kingdoms is inseparable from its strong economic power.
China has always had this tradition when wealth and honor return to one's hometown in fine clothes, and there are many great masters who have benefited their hometowns after becoming rich and honorable. Such as the Chaoshan Gang, and a considerable number of overseas Chinese who supported the construction of their hometown in the early days of reform and opening up.
To develop, Fengtian needs a considerable amount of start-up capital, and it also needs a "golden nest" that can lay golden eggs. To introduce these wealth-generating industries into Fengcheng, it is necessary to play the cards of personal connections and feelings with the Northeast.
At that time, most of the few industrial tycoons in northern China had complicated identities: Xiong Xiling, a famous educator, social activist, industrialist and philanthropist, was also the first democratically elected prime minister of the Republic of China; together with Zhang Jian of Jiangnan, he was also known as "Southern Zhang and Northern Zhou Dynasty" "Zhou Xuexi, as a pioneer of new industry and commerce in North China, is also the "money bag" of Yuan Shikai's government. He himself serves as the Minister of Finance of the Central Government. Also, in the early years of the Republic of China, without an official background, the so-called "collusion between officials and businessmen," ordinary people could not make achievements in the economic field.
Zhu Qiqian also directed him to find Zhou Xuexi, thinking that with Zhou's influence, if he could successfully persuade him, he would be an example to others, and financing would be relatively easy.
Who is Zhou Xuexi? His father, Cai Fu, followed Li Hongzhang in foreign affairs for more than thirty years. He had many praises for his paintings and was deeply relied on. Then he moved from the candidate county to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and became a very accomplished and influential figure in the Huai clique group. He was once widely regarded as the successor of Li Hongzhang, not Yuan Shikai.
He himself is an industrial giant and is known as the "Northern Zhou Dynasty and Southern Zhang". Nan Zhang is Zhang Qian of Nantong.
Without the recommendation of a competent person, Zhang Hanqing, a young boy with an unknown reputation, came to the door rashly and would not be beaten out, but he wanted to do something, why? Fortunately, General Cai has a wide network of contacts. In the capital, he basically invites people in and out, which makes Zhang Hanqing go smoothly. Of course, General Cai's support was not without purpose. In his opinion, the stronger Zhang Zuolin is, the greater the momentum he will create against Yuan in the future and the higher his chance of success.
When discussing business, Zhang Hanqing decided to visit Zhou Xuexi first.
Zhou Xuexi was once the Minister of Finance and the General Office of the Bureau of Crafts in Yuan Shikai's cabinet. He is currently the manager of the China Industrial Bank. He owns 15 companies under his name and is regarded as Gao Gui by northern industrial and commercial people. The highlight of his life was becoming the famous "Cement King" in the early Republic of China.
In 1906, Zhou Xuexi planned to establish the "Qixin Cement Company". Due to the good quality of the products, the sales were very smooth. Qixin cement was quickly used in major construction projects across the country, including the Huaihe River Railway Bridge and the Yellow River Bridge on the Tianjin-Puzhou Railway, the Luohe River Iron Bridge on the Beijing-Hankow Railway, the Weishui River Iron Bridge on the Beining Railway, as well as in Qingdao, Yantai, Xiamen, Dams and wharves in Weihai and other places were all made of Continental cement produced by Qixin; famous buildings at that time such as Beijing Library, Fu Jen Catholic University, Yenching University, Continental Bank, Bank of Communications, Hebei Stadium, Shanghai General Post Office, etc. , are also built with Continental cement. After decades of ups and downs, most of these buildings are still intact, standing side by side with modern high-rise buildings.
In order to compete for the Chinese cement market, foreign businessmen, especially Japanese businessmen, launched a desperate competition with Qixin Company. Japanese businessmen relied on the fact that Japanese cement had high output, good quality, and was closest to China, so they shipped large quantities of cement to China for dumping. In order toThe revolutionaries lost their vested interests and advocated surrender to the Kaiping Coal Mine in an attempt to rely on foreign forces to protect their interests. Zhou Xuexi was alone and had to painfully accept the negotiation for cooperation with Kaiping Coal Mine. When shareholders unanimously recommended him to serve as the supervisor of the General Administration of Kailuan Mining Bureau established after the merger, Zhou Xuexi firmly declined. It was Zhou Xuexi's wish to take back the Kaiping Coal Mine, but it was not realized in his lifetime.
This is an amiable and respectable Chinese man with backbone and an outstanding representative of the Chinese national bourgeoisie. Zhang Hanqing wanted to cooperate with him not only because he admired his character, but also because he wanted to use the power of the government in the future to enable these patriots who were bullied by foreigners to raise their chests and become Chinese again. If he could rule China in the future, he thought and believed. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 72 Beating the Autumn Wind

So, Zhang Hanqing once again shamelessly prepared to use his sharp tongue to persuade the largest capitalist in the Republic of China to add fuel to the development of Fengtian. Although he was able to talk about military affairs in front of Cai and Jiang, and politics in front of Zhu and Gu without any stage fright, whether he could succeed again with Zhou Xuexi, in Zhang Hanqing's words: "Although success is uncertain, Chengren is determined. "
Businessmen are suspicious. In order to enhance the weight of his words, Zhang Hanqing begged Cai E to accompany him. Otherwise, as a half-grown child, he might not even be able to get in through the Zhou family's door.
Cai E had already heard about his appearance at the Zhu family banquet, and liked this rising star even more, so he no longer refused, but declared that he was only responsible for opening the door, and Xiao Zhang would control the outcome.
“Actually, he just said this, and by being able to come forward, he made his position known, but he just didn’t want to admit it.
So under the shining of the name of General Cai, Zhou Xuexi finally cordially received Zhang Hanqing. The industrial giant had not yet reached the pinnacle of his later fame.
Zhou Xuexi’s first impression of the young Zhang Hanqing was that he felt that he was not able to do things well without talking about anything. When Cai E introduced that he was the eldest son of Fengtian General Zhang Zuolin who came to Beijing to "study", this elder who had been in government affairs just greeted him in a friendly way: "Please sit down and serve tea." If General Cai was the protagonist, he would definitely Will say: "Please sit down and offer some fragrant tea."
Regarding the various rumors in Beijing about the young master's praise from Cai and Jiang, he only regarded it as gossip news, and he was quite disapproving in his heart; as for the various praises emanating from the Zhu family banquet, he did not comment. In business, we often see politicians who talk too much. However, he smiled at Cai E and said, "It's rare for Mr. Songpo to come to my humble home, and I feel much better."
Sitting is a good place to sit, and tea is good tea. On this point, Zhou Xuexi was very considerate. He did not take into account the age difference and status gap between himself and Zhang Hanqing. He perfectly interpreted the essence of Chinese Confucianism "harmony is the most precious". As a businessman at heart, Zhou Xuexi would not easily offend anyone, especially a young man like Zhang Hanqing who was the best at holding grudges.
Cai E explained the purpose of his visit very simply: "Cai E just came here under the entrustment of Xiao Zhang's nephew. I'm sorry for the disrespect. Although Cai E knows nothing about economics, after listening to Han Qing's analysis, he felt that There is still some truth to it, and I would like to ask Mr. Zhou to correct it."
Only then did Zhou Xuexi realize that this young master Zhang was the protagonist. I have no relationship with Zhang Zuolin, who is said to be my teacher outside the customs. The other person came to visit me unintentionally. Could it be to borrow money? Looking at this young master Zhang, he has good features and extraordinary clothes (Zhang Hanqing: How can I do without good clothes when I go out to visit relatives and friends?). He looks like a standard playboy (Zhang Hanqing: I'm just handsome, okay?). Spending time in Beijing It's definitely not cheap, is it because of the autumn wind?
He admires Cai E, who is dissatisfied with his fame all over the world? Judging from the friendship between Cai E and him, it should be unusual, but why did he hit me on the swing? Then I thought about it, oh, Cai E doesn't have much extra money, so he doesn't have much money, so he can't help much, right? Since General Cai has the face, how much should I give? After thinking about it, I got distracted.
Zhang Hanqing bluntly stated the purpose of his visit: "Mr. Zhou, Xueliang came here this time because he was instructed by Mr. Gui and wanted to do a big business with Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Xuexi secretly said: "Here you are. You are a little kid wearing a tiger skin and sitting on a coat. You have brought out the great god Zhu Qiqian. You also have General Cai's reputation and want to do business with me. You won't be afraid of ridicule if you use this excuse." But he smiled. He said: "Oh, Mr. Zhang, what good business do you have? Can you tell me about it?"
If the offer is acceptable, I will confirm it by rubbing my nose. After all, the two of them have face. The "business" is settled, and I will pay some money to pay the "share". As for whether I can get it back, I am not considering it.
Zhang Hanqing said: "I know that Mr. Zhou is an expert in coal mines. My father intends to open a new coal mine in Fengtian Province. I would like to ask Mr. Zhou to take charge of all aspects of manpower allocation, machine purchase and capital preparation."
Zhou Xuexi secretly said: "My dear, you have a big appetite. Don't even think about opening a coal mine if you don't have a millionaire. This young man really dares to open his mouth like a lion. You, a powerful man outside the customs, want to reach out to me, Do you really think that my money, Zhou Xuexi’s, fell from the sky?!” Thinking about it, he felt angry, and he spoke sarcastically: “Opening a coal mine requires a lot of investment. We are doing business, and General Zhang can spend it financially. How much capital? An old man alone doesn't have that much ability."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It’s Really Dare to Think About Those with Military and Power. There are many people who embezzle money from the finances, and it’s not worth making a fuss about. In Zhou Xuexi's mind, Zhang Hanqing's General Fengtian might also have this idea, and in the business worldGet a handful, this is also the way to be an official.
"Unexpectedly, Zhang Hanqing shook his head and said: "To be honest, Fengtian Province's finances are also very tight, and my father has no intention of spending money from government finances at the moment."
Zhou Xuexi became even more angry: "You don't even think about making a penny. Do you want to be a wolf with nothing? Then you might as well grab a gun to make it faster." He simply didn't look at the hateful-looking young man next to him (Zhang Hanqing: Don't hate Wu). Is Jiwu okay?), and said slowly: "You don't have to pay for it, and you want to build a coal mine. Han Qing must have a good idea?"
Zhang Hanqing shook his head and said sincerely: "Xue Liang was thinking when he came and wanted to ask Mr. Zhou for some advice."
Zhou Xuexi no longer cares about the anger in his heart, nor does he care about the reputation of General Cai - it doesn't matter if Zhang Zuolin from outside the customs comes in person, this is the foot of the emperor! What’s wrong with Cai E’s reputation? Who doesn’t know that you are just a has-been general? He suddenly laughed loudly and said, "That old man has a good idea."
Zhang Hanqing hadn't finished speaking yet, so he asked doubtfully: "Mr. Zhou, do you have any good ideas?"
Zhou Xuexi laughed and said, "You might as well go and grab it!" Although he said it in a joking tone, he still couldn't hide a little bit of resentment.
This is the first time I have heard such a cold joke since time travel, and it came from the mouth of an elderly and virtuous old man. Zhang Hanqing couldn't hold back his breath, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Zhou is really funny." He paused and told his unformed plan: "Xue Liang thought that Mr. Zhou said the word 'rob'. It suits me very well. But the word 'rob' does not mean that we do it, but that others 'rob' us and give us money."
Zhou Xuexi also seemed to have heard a cold joke. He looked at Zhang Hanqing like an idiot and said, "How can others rush to give away money?" What he said was just like the flattering atmosphere in a cross talk.
Zhang Hanqing slowly explained his plan: "Xue Liang believes that to build a large coal mine with an annual output of one million tons, the funds will be staggering, and Mr. Zhou's liquidity alone may not be enough. Therefore. Xueliang came here because he wanted to use Mr. Zhou’s reputation to make a symbolic contribution, so as to encourage other investors to have the courage to use shares to unite multiple investors to build it!”
"Of course, my father will set up an 'investment bureau' in Fengtian. This coal mine will be established with the help of the government. Of course, the management rights will be with the investors, and the distribution of dividends will also be carried out according to the proportion of investment. The only thing required is, Fengtian Investment Promotion Bureau will occupy 30% of the shares through the transfer of land and services in the name of national asset management. In addition, it will also be responsible for continuing financing, dealing with banks and providing guarantees. Of course, with Mr. Zhou’s connections, if there is any corresponding The equipment and manpower will be converted into an amount as part of the equity."
He spoke calmly, but Zhou Xuexi was shocked: "My dear, with an annual output of one million tons, it is impossible to get even 5 million taels of silver dollars. This young man really dares to think!" You must know that Luanzhou back then When the mine was established, the initial capital was 2 million taels of silver dollars. When it merged with the Kaiping Mine, both parties invested a capital of 1 million pounds (British pounds).
"You want to "borrow my reputation", hehe, it sounds nice, but it's not an endorsement for you! You just made money and left, but I, Zhou Xuexi, still want to help you pay off your debt? You don’t have to pay a penny to get a 30% share? This empty-handed Bai Erlang's heart is too dark. While carefully considering how to refuse, he said slowly: "The initial investment in investing in a coal mine is huge. If it is estimated based on the annual output of one million tons of coal, it may not be possible without five million funds. If there is no follow-up funds, once something changes in the operation, , subsequent financing will be very difficult. Without a decent mortgage, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for partners to gain trust. "Is it easy to handle? I'll leave the problem to you. According to the goods of various warlords in the early Republic of China, land, forests and even official seals could be the objects of mortgage. Zhang Zuolin outside the customs may have planned to mortgage the railway. In the past, this was not impossible.
But times have changed and these are no longer possible. The government after the Republic of China returned the ownership of these major projects related to the national economy and people's livelihood to the state. After the Twenty-One Incident, no one dared to use these methods to make money anymore. Without the approval of the central government, there are countless local actions. The businessmen in Beijing and Tianjin are all experts at this, and you can't coax their money out.
Zhou Xuexi thought to himself: "It depends on what trump card you reveal. If you are mortgaging land, railways, etc., forget it." It seems that the other party used the mortgage method to defraud part of the money. When the central government disagrees, at least the first investment will be It's wasted. When using a deceptive method, your tone must be decisive so that the person you deceive will believe it.
Zhang Hanqing didn’t know it was a trick or he didn’t take it seriously, but he still said calmly: “Of course there are mortgage projects, otherwise how can we win people’s trust?”
Here we are, we are still here to enjoy the autumn breeze!
As soon as Zhou Xuexi heard Zhang Hanqing speak, he flatly refused: "Land, railways and various mineral resources cannot be used as mortgage. This must be approved by the central government before it can take effect."
Zhang Hanqing was stunned: "Who said I would use land, railways, etc. as mortgage?"
Zhou Xuexi: “…” (This young man doesn’t even want a fig leaf!) He no longer understands Zhang Hanqing’s thinking!
Zhang Hanqing said: "I just suggested to my father to establish a tobacco ** system in Fengtian Province and use the income from tobacco tax as collateral. I wonder if Mr. Zhou thinks this is feasible?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)effect. "

Chapter 73 Justice and profit

You must know that Zhang Hanqing did a lot of work in order to win the trust of this old Zhou. As an old smoker in his previous life, he knew that the profits from cigarettes were black, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who made him smoke something that would make him feel uncomfortable if he didn't smoke it for a day? In this life, his own substitute is not a good bird. Not only does he smoke, but he also uses opium (opium) when he becomes addicted. He is addicted to opium and cannot even control the September 18th Incident! Of course, this cigarette is not that cigarette, it just shows that quitting smoking is not easy.
Since tobacco was “introduced” to China, the management of this industry has been extremely difficult. Tan Qian of the Ming Dynasty also had an earlier text recording tobacco in "Zaolin Zazu": "Golden silk smoke went overseas and was called tabacco. It flowed into Fujian and was named golden silk smoke." The dryness is poisonous and can kill people. In the second year of Tianqi (1622), Guizhou Daogeng passed through Guangxi and began to transplant its seeds. The leaves are like sage and the stems are long. They are picked and dried with a blade like silk. They are used in this world and north and south of the Yangtze River. Chongzhen 10 In the sixth year of the imperial edict (1643), private traders were even punished with death, but they could not be reformed."
See, death cannot change one's nature. By the Qing Dynasty, smoking had become increasingly fashionable. In order to raise money from the people, many ignorant people came up with this idea in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. They suggested that the country should change from blockage to sparseness and use it as a resource, so there was a proposal of tobacco tax.
Xiong Xiling, who later became the first democratically elected Prime Minister of the Republic of China and was known as the first-class talent of the Republic of China, in order to increase government revenue, around the 33rd year of Guangxu (1907), he wrote to Zhang Baixi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Zaize, the Secretary of the Du branch, calling for The Qing government implemented the tobacco cessation system as soon as possible. Xiong Xiling said in a letter to Zai Ze: "The tobacco industry is practiced by Britain, the Netherlands, Japan and other countries, and it is a large income for the country. It is not suspected of invading people's interests. Just like cigarettes, it is also a There is a huge leakage today. If we don’t do something about it now, it will be difficult to recover in the future" He believes that China’s annual tax revenue is very small, and cigarettes are luxury goods. Increased cigarette taxes will not only have little impact on the interests of most people, but will also increase National income, therefore, we should follow the example of foreign countries and implement a cessation system for tobacco.
However, due to the internal and external difficulties of the Qing government, there was no time to take into account tobacco **. Although Zai Ze and other branch ministers had consulted Sheng Xuanhuai, Minister of Posts and Communications, about tobacco ** matters, Xiong Xiling's suggestion still did not attract enough attention.
Yuan Shikai was the first person to see this benefit and implement it. In his second year as governor of Zhili and minister of Beiyang, he increased taxes on tobacco and alcohol in Zhili, and suggested to Guangxu that they should be promoted nationwide: "Tobacco and alcohol are necessary for folk hobbies and have nothing to do with health care. They must be taxed again." There are no obstacles yet." After several months of trial operation, the tax revenue has reached "tens of thousands."
In 1912, after the founding of the Republic of China, Xiong Xiling served as the cabinet minister of finance. The following year, he formed a cabinet with Liang Qichao, Zhang Jian and others and served as Prime Minister and Chief of Finance. At that time, many people in society called for tobacco cessation. First, Qian Baojun, Chen Qichang and other congressmen proposed a cigarette cessation bill to the Republic of China government. Later, Liu Shusen, general manager of Shanghai Samsung Cigarette Company, suggested to Xiong Xiling: discuss with British American Tobacco Company , all kinds of cigarettes will be purchased exclusively by the government, and the government will increase taxes and sell them to the people; the government will establish a joint venture with the British American Tobacco Company to establish a cigarette factory; if the British American Tobacco Company does not agree with the above suggestions, the government will The mainland set up a ** bureau and raised 5 million yuan to set up cigarette factories in Tianjin, Pukou, and Hankou as a sign of resistance. Xiong Xiling agreed to Liu Shusen's suggestion and sent personnel to Shanghai for negotiations.
In order to implement the tobacco cessation system, Xiong Xiling once sent personnel to Japan for inspection. In view of the situation of tobacco and alcohol distribution in China, it was decided to impose a tobacco and alcohol license tax before the implementation of the tobacco crackdown system.
In February 1914, Xiong Xiling petitioned Yuan Shikai to explain the necessity of implementing the tobacco cessation system and suggested the establishment of a tobacco cessation preparatory office, saying: "Establish a tobacco cessation preparatory office within the Ministry of Finance. The director of the department will be responsible for studying tobacco cessation issues in various countries. The law investigates the domestic tobacco production areas and types of tobacco leaves, tobacco production methods, and sales markets, and prepares to implement the national policy. The Ministry raises capital, sets up factories, accepts private tobacco leaves, and returns to the factory for manufacturing Foreign cigarettes are modeled on Japanese methods and are controlled by the government. | The government is free to accept purchases." Xiong Xiling's suggestion was approved by Yuan Shikai, who said: "Maintaining domestic products is the most important goal at present. The so-called establishment of a tobacco ** preparatory office is feasible. We will learn from the rules and draft them properly. The method is pending for approval."
Yuan Shikai has tasted the sweetness from the tobacco tax, and of course he responded to it. After some preparations, the "Interim Brochure for the National Public Sale of Tobacco and Liquor" was issued in May 1915, and a National Bureau for the Public Sale of Tobacco and Liquor was set up. This was China's first tobacco crackdown. Of course, the so-called public sale at this time was only to increase and rectify cigarette taxes, and did not manage the market.
And the warlords and government leaders in various places regard tobacco as a cash cow under their command, so of course they want to seize the tobacco and alcohol sales bureaus in each province. This newly established bureau was originally intended to assist the central government's finances, but it did not want to become a local ban. For example, Zhang Zuolin relied on his reputation as a "specialist" seller of tobacco and alcohol to collect tobacco from Fengtian Province and sell it to Europe at a high price.For the foreign officers and soldiers fighting in the trenches in the continent, the governors and governors of Jehol, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places also mainly rely on the income from tobacco to support the army of their provinces, and the money from local tobacco and alcohol ** cannot come in at all. Central|Central.
In this turbulent autumn, in order to gain widespread support, Lao Yuan has no intention of putting pressure on the local government on these matters.
Zhou Xuexi, as the then Minister of Finance, also contributed to and actively participated in the tobacco revolution mentioned by Zhang Hanqing. It's just that this "Brand Guide" was released not long ago, and everyone's efforts were focused on politics at this time. As a result, the regulations were in place, but their implementation was seriously inadequate. Zhou Xueximen'er knows all the pros and cons. Zhang Hanqing wanted to do whatever he wanted to do in front of him, which could not but be said to be ridiculous.
Zhou Xuexi sneered and said: "It's hard for Han Qing to bother, but the tax on tobacco products is also directly controlled by the national finance. The local government has no right to touch it, and the mortgage is naturally not allowed."
But Zhang Hanqing insists on doing whatever he wants. In order to convince Zhou Xuexi, he had no choice but to spend all his money: "Mr. Zhou only knew that tobacco was state-owned and earmarked for collection, but he didn't know Xueliang's plan. Tobacco tax is a tax attached to tobacco. If you buy it, there will be tax; but Simply collecting taxes from buyers is not enough. Xueliang also suggested that my father set up another tobacco license, so that tobacco can be sold legally. Of course, this license requires money to buy, and whether it is issued once a year. Han Qing is still considering changing the certificate. The central finance cannot interfere with this income."
This is the tobacco licensing system for future generations. In fact, it is not surprising. The salt and iron system implemented in the Song Dynasty and the Yanyin system developed to the extreme by the Ming and Qing Dynasties were both pioneers of this practice. Tobacco is highly profitable, and all fools know that, so whoever has the power in the tobacco trade can make a lot of money. But after all, tobacco is aimed at the public. Tobacco public sales bureaus alone are not enough. We must work hard in distribution channels. In this way, it brings countless space for camera obscura operations.
Although Zhang Hanqing never held an official position in later generations, he has read the history books and is still very clear about the routines. He once heard a relative who ran a small shop say: "The monthly income from groceries is not equal to the income from selling cigarettes." As long as the government strictly controls the private sale of tobacco and holds the right to issue licenses for legal transactions, the financial resources will be rolling in. come.
It was originally the right of the central government, but now he said that it has become a source of wealth for the localities, and tobacco taxes are used as collateral. Is there any justice in it? This is just the way the world is, and not surprisingly, China will be a golden age for local governments to dare to challenge the central government for more than ten years in the future, which is known as the warlord era in history.
Zhang Hanqing is not afraid that Zhou Xuexi will not be tempted, and he believes that if he follows his ideas, Fengtian can still get the startup bonus without Zhou Xuexi. It's just the name of the human shadow tree. His presence will serve as an example for Fengtian's economic plan. This is the point.
"Moreover, Mr. Zhou also needs to know that Fengtian is a province, and it is for the sake of the people of the province that taxes can be withheld legally and reasonably - anyway, part of these taxes will still need to be returned to the province in the future, and the taxes are used for It is an investment to increase the income of the people of the province. It is a fact that Fushun has coal. As long as the equipment, funds, and manpower are ready, coal production can be expected immediately. You should not be afraid of these. I am afraid that Mr. Zhou thinks that the Fengtian Provincial Government | If you commit deception under the pretext of building a mine, the upfront investment will be like a piece of meat to beat a dog to death - you will never come back, right?"
When Zhou Xuexi was told about the central issue, he rarely blushed and replied seriously: "I have no intention of doing so. It's just because the matter is so big that I can't think twice about it."
Just think twice, it shows that you are still tempted, but you are just hesitant about how to protect your profits. Youdao is that wine and sex are exciting, and money and silk are alluring. The most reliable thing in business is visible benefits.
For someone like Zhou Xuexi, although impressing him from a financial perspective alone can move him, it cannot strengthen his belief. Zhang Hanqing does not want to make a one-time deal. Fengtian's future economic development will be a long-term strategy and requires continuous help from the outside world. Is there any way to bind his decision?
Only justice and sharp ears.
"I believe that after the establishment of Fushun Coal Mine, it will be easy to squeeze into the Northeast, North China and even East China markets with low-cost mining and the huge advantages of land and sea transportation. And Xueliang has a grand idea, which is to use these advantages to monopolize the north. Coal market, squeeze foreign capital of all sizes out of the north! Luan Coal and Kaiping Coal Mines will be the targets of our struggle!"
These words were right to Zhou Xuexi’s liking. Thinking back to the time when he was trying to bring down the British businessman even though he was fighting for his own money, the scene from a few years ago came to mind again. The Luanzhou coal mine has been a pain point in his life. If he really succeeds in investing in a large coal mine in Fushun and has the ambitions of Mr. and Xiao Zhang, a counterattack is very likely. Just because of this, he has to take the initiative to get involved.
As if to give him a shot in the arm, Zhang Hanqing said slowly: "What needs to be disclosed to Mr. Zhou is that before visiting Mr. Zhou, former Prime Minister Xiong Xiling and Deputy Minister Liang Shiyi have decided to honor this project as one of the co-sponsors. The stocks issued during the construction of the Fushun Coal Mine." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The stocks issued during the construction of the Fushun Coal Mine.

The news was surprising. Even General Cai was wondering, when did Zhang Hanqing get involved with these two old men?
General Cai estimated that with Zhang Hanqing's eloquence, it would be much easier to encourage the honest old Xiong to do these practical things that can really benefit the country and the people than to encourage Liang Shiyi, and this is indeed the case. But how Liang Shiyi was inspired, he was very curious.
In fact, Zhou Xuexi is also very curious.
Zhang Hanqing visited Lao Xiong, who had resigned as prime minister, early the next morning after accepting Han Linchun.
Originally, Xiong Xiling was known as the "cabinet of first-class talents in the Republic of China" and was determined to do something big. However, he was only used as a political pawn by Yuan Shikai. After the initial crisis was resolved, Lao Xiong, who was not of the same mind as Yuan, naturally Can't beat Lao Yuan who is good at politics. In February of a year ago, Lao Yuan instigated the press to revive the case of treasure theft from the Jehol Palace. Lao Xiong was forced to resign because of the suspicion and was immediately ordered to organize the national oil mine affairs. After his career failed, Lao Xiong turned to charity and education.
No matter what, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Compared with Zhang Hanqing and even Zhang Zuolin, Xiong Xiling's influence is several heads higher, especially in the financial field. Zhang Hanqing was able to strike up a conversation with him because they had a common understanding of China's strong military. Zhang Hanqing made no secret of his plan to support the army with industry in Fengtian, which won praise from Lao Xiong. He looked at Zhang Zuolin, the legendary boss, with admiration - he still thought that Zhang Hanqing was entrusted by Zhang Zuolin to invest in the preparation of the Shenyang Arsenal. He thought that Zhang Hanqing was young and did not have the courage to do this even if he had the knowledge.
As far back as the autumn of 1896, from the moment Xiong Xiling joined the Hunan Reform Movement, he was entrusted with the important task of preparing to build a firearms factory. At that time, Hunan's finances were tight, and building an arsenal was a resource-intensive undertaking. However, the top priority was to improve the Hunan army's outdated equipment. At this moment, Xiong Xiling thought of Liu Kunyi, a senior member of the Hunan Army who was the governor of Liangjiang. After repeated communication and negotiation with Xiong Xiling and others, Liu Kun once or twice allocated guns and ammunition to Hunan Province, which was equivalent to a silver price of 200,000 taels. Although Hunan failed to establish a firearms factory in the end, such huge support laid a good foundation for the training of the new army in Hunan, and Xiong Xiling took the most credit for this achievement.
Now, in order to strengthen the army, Fengtian wants to complete his unfinished business, which moved Lao Xiong. When Zhang Hanqing used data to explain in detail the disadvantages of the Chinese army's purchase of foreign weapons and the grand vision and feasibility of Fengtian's upcoming self-reliance and hard work to establish its own arsenal, Lao Xiong was moved.
Of course, Zhang Hanqing changed the topic and brought up the conclusion of saving the country through industry: "Xue Liang believes that with China's current weak national strength, it is extremely unwise to invest limited capital in the construction of arsenals that only consume and produce no output. Arsenals are A long-term and slow investment without strong industrial support is destined to have no development. Xueliang and my father believe that using the development of industry, especially heavy industry, to promote the improvement of military production capacity is a way to treat both the symptoms and the root cause. Only industrial development Only by doing so can we be able to continuously build better weapons, and the development of industry is based on coal and iron, which is why Xueliang wants to raise funds to build the Fushun Coal Mine this time."
Speaking of this, he also made a false shot: "As for the iron ore, Xueliang has agreed with Mr. Zhou Xuexi to build the Nanfen Iron Mine in Benxi, Fengtian. Xueliang has worked with several American exploration companies to mine the mining sites in detail, both in terms of reserves and The ease of mining and the conclusions are very promising.
Can there be no future? The Nanfen Open-pit Iron Mine is the largest open-pit iron mine in Asia. It is also one of the origins of "Ginseng Iron". Zhang Hanqing, who has a wealth of information for later generations, knows this clearly. As for U.S. exploration companies, God knows where? When brazenly encouraging the honest man Xiong Xiling, Zhang Hanqing cleverly made a time difference: that is, he released false news to first use Zhou Xuexi to influence Xiong Xiling, and then used Xiong Xiling's true news to influence Zhou Xuexi, and then the true news became true, and the false news became true. It is the principle of information asymmetry.
But this is enough. Fengtian has such a feasible plan to strengthen the country and the army, which has already impressed the old bear who still wants to give it a try. What's more, the "Northern Industrial Giant" Zhou Xuexi also "approved", which is unmistakable. Therefore, Lao Xiong readily agreed to contribute money and efforts to inject capital into Fushun Coal Mine and Benxi Nanfen Iron Mine, and promised to use his reputation to attract some industrial people to sponsor Fengtian La. The guests and hosts enjoy themselves.
It was not so easy to meet Liang Shiyi, because he was Lao Yuan's right-hand man at this time and had a high official position. As the leader of the old Transportation Department, he was a powerful figure in Yuan's political circles. After he was appointed Prime Minister of the Bank of Communications and Deputy Minister of Finance in May of that year, he became Lao Yuan's "money bag", and Lao Yuan also trusted him more. .
He is not fighting alone. When he was the chief copywriter of the Beijing-Hankong and Shanghai-Nanjing railways, and later served as the postal and communication department of the Beijing-Hankong, Shanghai-Nanjing and Zhengtai railways,During his promotion to the Fifth Road, Bianluo, and Daoqing, and as an assistant at the Bank of Communications, he placed party members everywhere and cultivated his own power to form the Communications Department. Important figures include Zhou Ziqi, Ye Gongchuo, Wang Youling, Zhu Qiqian, etc. The Transportation Department used Yuan Shikai's political power as its shelter at home and the British and Japanese imperialists as its backing abroad. It controlled the leadership of railways, steamships, telephones and telegraphs, and postal services. It also controlled the Bank of Communications, Jincheng Bank, China Huiye Bank, Salt Bank, Zhengfeng Coal Mine, Zhongxing Coal Mine, Beipiao Coal Mine, Liuhegou Coal Mine, Longyan Iron Mine, Wutong Navigation Company and other large banks and enterprises.
Liang Shiyi is not only known as the "Five God of Wealth", but also serves as the Secretary-General of Yuan Shikai's Presidential Office, and is known as the "Second President". The combination of the transportation department and the Beiyang Army's civil and military forces became the two pillars of the Beiyang Warlords' rule, and they became prominent during the Beiyang Warlords' rule.
You have to pay homage to this pier too.
If you get his permission or support, it is best to have practical support, and you will basically be successful in raising funds in Beijing. With the help of these big guys, it goes without saying that they have credibility. The key is that they have real money in their hands.
At this time, Liang Shiyi was also vigorously raising funds to support Yuan Shikai's proclaimed emperor, and also initiated the formation of a national petition federation to petition the Senate to change the state system to invite favors. The reason why it is said to be an invitation to favor is because there are too many people who express their determination to Lao Yuan, and Yang Du is the leader among them. As the founder of the constitutional monarchy system, Yang Du prided himself on being Lao Yuan's number one think tank, which could not but make Lao Liang wary. Because once the success is achieved in the future, this first achievement of support will be very coveted.
What Zhang Hanqing took advantage of was the conflict between Liang Shiyi and Yang Du and his speculative mentality of worrying about gains and losses. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Yang Dun is a rare political talent who is good at writing, eloquent and proficient in the constitutional government of various countries. But compared with Liang Shiyi, Yang Du was very scholarly. At that time, Yang Du and Liang Shiyi took the 1903 Economic Special Course at the same time. Liang was the first and Yang was the second. In Yuan Shikai's cabinet in the late Qing Dynasty, Liang was the deputy minister of the Postal and Communications Department and Yang Du was the deputy minister of the academic department. But after entering the Republic of China, Liang was always proud and held real power. He was Yuan Shikai's right-hand man and was known as the "God of Wealth" and "Second President". The reason why there is such a big difference in their official careers is that Liang was exquisite, good at observing people's emotions and making decisions based on the situation; Yang was talented, eloquent and scholarly.
At this time, Yang and Liang fought hard to win the first victory.
Yang Duzhi's bookishness lies in the fact that he wants to be both a prostitute and a memorial arch. There was a legend that after the establishment of the Security Council, Yang Du, Hu Ying and others came to Jinyuxuan for a gathering in Zhongshan Park, Beijing. There was an allusion to the "running dog" expressing ambition.
Hu Ying was the first to say: "Everyone calls us running dogs, but are we running dogs?"
Yang Du said: "Those who are afraid of being scolded are just local people. How can we let the world do what we want? We support the monarchy and save the country. We ask ourselves if we are not guilty. How can we care about what others say. Even if we use the word 'running dog', I am a dog." If you don’t have a dog, you won’t be able to walk.”
Sun Yuyun said: "I am not the same. My will is determined, and I will live and die by it. I am a dog, and I have to walk."
Yan Fu said: "I'm a compromise. Dogs are not dogs, they have to walk."
Hu Ying said: "But I want to be a dog, and I want to walk."
The next day, the story of "running dog" Yan Zhi spread throughout Tianjin and Beijing. Tianjin's "Guangzhi Daily" published a cartoon that satirized the Hongxian monarchy - "The Running Dog Picture". In the center is a caricature of Yuan Shikai, wearing a crown and a dragon, sitting with an arch. There are four dogs in the four directions, depicting the four generals of the Preparatory Security Council—Yang Du, Hu Ying, Sun Yujun, and Yan Fu—who were instrumental in changing the state structure and restoring the monarchy. This cartoon ridiculed Yang Du as the leader of Yuan Shikai's lackeys, the so-called dog-headed military advisor Yang Ye.
In fact, at this time, Yang Du thought very highly of himself and wanted to be Hong Xian's number one hero and realize his dream of becoming prime minister. He, Sun Yujun, Liu Shipei, Li Xiehe, Hu Ying, Yan Fu and other six people were called the "Six Gentlemen" by the people at the time. His calls for imperialism were still secretive, and they had to be covered up under the so-called "public opinion." However, Liang Shiyi didn't care about these at all, and instead created a momentum.
Liang Shiyi’s financial accomplishments aside, his relationship with Yuan Shikai alone is extraordinary. Lao Yuan had many wives and concubines and a large family (127 people). He was often troubled by trivial family matters. At that time, there were no mature management methods for reference. Otherwise, a corrupt official in later generations would be able to manage his lover in an orderly manner using the MBA method.
As a counselor, Liang Shizhi once came up with the idea of ??"paying a salary" to Yuan Shikai's wives and concubines: ranging from 80 to 100 yuan per person, depending on the date of entry; for every child born, 3 yuan per month (changed to 6 yuan after entering Zhongnanhai), Yuan arranged for his second concubine, Mrs. Li (Mother of Yuan Keqi), to keep the banknotes and prepare pay slips every month and submit them to Yuan; his fifth concubine, Mrs. Yang, to keep his name seals and stamp them with stamps every month. In this way, the financial accounts are separated and the family expenses will be much more reasonable. Lao Yuan felt relaxed and secretly praised Lao Liang for being a top-notch expert in the financial world.
At this time, Lao Liang was at a low point in his life: after the promulgation of the Yuan Ji Law, the responsible cabinet system was replaced by the presidential system. President Yuan established a political hall under the presidential palace to replace the previous State Council. Xu Shichang served as Secretary of State, and Yang Shiqi and Qian Nengxun were respectively As a result, Liang Shiyi lost power for a while and had nowhere to settle down. In the end, he only got the position of tax supervisor, which made Liang Dacai very upset. To make matters worse, the Su Zheng Ting (the product of Yuan Ji's agreement, equivalent to the Yushitai in the former Qing Dynasty, which specialized in impeaching officials at all levels) proposed the "Three Chang Shen Cases" and the "Fifth Road Great Shen Case" at this time. It makes the traffic system go up and down, and everyone is in danger.
The so-called "Three Chiefs of Staff Cases" refers to the impeachment of Deputy Minister of the Army Chu Shuzheng, Deputy Minister of Transportation Ye Gongchuo and Deputy Minister of Finance Zhang Hu, and both Ye Gongchuo and Zhang Hu are members of the Transportation Department; "Five The "Road and Greatness Case" refers to the corruption cases of the five major railway bureaus including Jinpu, Jinghan, Jingsui, Shanghai-Nanjing, and Zhengtai, and it targets the transportation department. In this case, Liang Shiyi, the boss of the transportation department and also the prime minister of the Bank of Communications at the time, was certainly involved.
For Zhang Hanqing, a young boy, even though he was the son of Fengtian King Zhang Zuolin, Liang Shiyi didn't take it seriously. As for Zhang Hanqing's rising reputation in Beijing, he didn't take it seriously. A latecomer who knows nothing about military and national affairs will miss the mark by talking about military matters on paper. Cai Songpo and Jiang Baili want to support the underachievers, why don't they work so hard!
However, he couldn't refuse Zhang Hanqing's visit. At least he still had Zhu Qiqian's face, because Zhang Hanqing came under the banner of Zhu Qiqian. Liang Shiyi was initially prepared to let him sit down for a while.Go, as an elder, you must not lose your etiquette - in fact, I was curious about Zhang Hanqing's straight-to-the-point telling of "there are two good things about him" - but when did he come to cause trouble!
Therefore, in response to Zhang Hanqing's courtesy, he just said "hmm" and said slowly: "Little friend Hanqing said that he wanted to give me two benefits. I wonder which ones they are? Let me tell you, your father and I also have a relationship. Fate, don’t think about it, I have to ask my old friend’s son to help me when I’m here, I’m really ashamed!”
The words of the political roly-poly were a little harsh, and he didn't know whether he was being aroused or sarcastic, which made Zhang Hanqing frightened: "Master Shibo, Xueliang was just inspired by his father's instructions. Here at the house, there are two things that may be helpful to my uncle. It will be beneficial. Two things, one is fame, which can solve the current crisis; the other is profit, it can expand my uncle's industry to the Northeast and make profits from it."
Liang Shiyi was slightly interested. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhang Hanqing, "Oh, what's the danger to me? I'd like to hear the details."
Before Zhang Hanqing came, he had clearly sorted out the grievances between Lao Liang and Lao Yang, and he naturally seemed confident when he spoke. He took his time and spoke eloquently in front of this official of the Republic of China: "Shibo is bullying my nephew's ignorance. Now the capital is in an uproar. All the big guys in the transportation and energy department are involved in the big case. If we can't get the situation back in time, , will be wiped out in one fell swoop. Is uncle confident, or has he reached the end of his rope? Xueliang doesn’t dare to guess. But Xueliang also has a way to let uncle survive this difficulty safely and take advantage of it to fly high."
Liang Shiyi remained calm, his heart was filled with urgency: "What can my nephew do? You might as well tell me in detail."
Zhang Hanqing smiled slightly and said: "Now there is a good way to get out of the predicament. As long as Shibo can work hard to persuade the president to come in according to the president's wishes, why worry about the injustice?"
Liang Shiyi smiled bitterly, thinking that was the idea! Don't you think I've ever thought of trying it? Everyone in the world knows that Yang Du was praised by the President as a "unparalleled genius" because of this. If I get involved now, am I not just making wedding clothes for others? If it was done well, all the credit would go to Yang Du, and it would actually help him. Therefore, he was not very enthusiastic: "Yang Xizi is already presiding over this matter, and his 'safeguarding meeting' has made a lot of noise. How can I show my ability?"
At this time, it was already a fashion to persuade people to join the imperial system. Even those who opposed the imperial system for many reasons, either to protect their lives or not to give up their fame, wealth and status, all joined this craze against their will. Even Duan Qirui, who had been dismissed as army chief because he disagreed with Lao Yuan's proclaiming emperor, could not escape the pressure and persuaded him to join the army in the name of "General's Mansion" because he still had the "manage the affairs of General's Mansion" that Lao Yuan rewarded him with. position.
Duan Qirui and Liang Shiyi made an agreement at the beginning: "I am both civil and military, and I will never support the imperial system and mislead the Yuan family." Now Duan has given in against his will. Liang Shiyi saw that if he did not follow the trend, he might be out of the game, so he had no idea about the original agreement. I can’t control that much anymore. However, it was obvious that Lao Liang had not lost his composure at first, but the others were already walking far ahead of him. If he did not exert his efforts, it would be too late by the time the overall situation was settled. Liang Shiyi's current pain point is that he has no chance to make breakthroughs. He has been worried about how he can win Lao Yuan's favor again? As for the impeachment case, for him who has experienced politics for a long time, as long as Lao Yuan approves of him, these are not a problem!
Zhang Hanqing smiled. People in this era are really "simple", or in other words, the people in front of them still fail to see the essence of things. For Lao Yuan, it doesn’t matter who does it or what method is used. The key is to achieve the result. The publicity campaign of the "Security Planning Committee" has been very effective, but how to get the people, or the representatives of the people - members of Congress, to accept it happily is still a long way to go. Youdao is that the scholars have failed to rebel for three years. The momentum created by Yang Du and others has been great, but they still lack the final spark. If Liang Shiyi could put this matter to bed, what else would Lao Yuan be dissatisfied with him for?
He smiled and said: "The efforts of the 'Security Planning Committee' have been weakened. At this time, Yang Xizi and the others still want to pull their pants to cover their faces, but they are too shy to pull the cloth away. Shibo can implement it directly. , Xueliang——Oh no, my father came up with a way. We formed a team, called the "Citizen Petition Group", and directly put this matter to death. Although my nephew is not talented, he still dared to recommend himself. , let it make more noise in Beijing."
“Citizens’ Petition Group”? This is a new idea. Judging from the name, the "Security Planning Committee" is a preparatory organization, while the "Citizens' Petition Group" actually implements the matter. Liang Shiyi was moved and his tone softened: "Yang Xizi is also convening all parties to conduct a review, but there is not much progress. I wonder what Han Qing thinks?"
What are your thoughts? You can't just build a memorial hall and build a memorial arch at the same time! In modern society, no one has studied the methods used to defraud elections. The "Donkey-Elephant Controversy" in the United States and the "Empty-Hand Barrier" in Taiwan and South Korea can be regarded as classics of modern elections. They spread rumors to stir up trouble, make things out of nothing, criticize others, stumbling blocks, traps, false accusations, slander and other means. Don't go to extremes. As for whether it is a dish boil, no serious person cares about it. What everyone cares about is "whether it is effective." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)It's all about "whether it's valid". (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 76 Scholars and Soldiers

Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "I wonder if Shibo has ever watched a football match? The stadium is full of players, but the focus of the audience's discussion is on the player who shoots the ball. No matter how many things Yang Xizi has done, Shibo only needs to hit the goal. Just kick the ball into the stadium with your feet. It’s become such a big deal, and Yang Du is still covering up. Shibo might as well tell the world clearly that if you need people, you need money, and if you need money, you need to do whatever it takes to promote the monarchy. When the time comes, President Yuan will not be able to remember you."
"My father is also in contact with important officials in Fengtian. Zhu Qiqian, Lei Zhenchun, Jiang Chaozong, Zhou Ziqi, Yuan Naikuan, Zhu Jiabao, Lu Jianzhang, Gu Ao and other uncles all want to form a national petition federation under the leadership of Shibo. Yi Shibo Isn’t the influence of the petition group, which has attracted celebrities and dignitaries from all over the country, inferior to the influence of Yang Du’s group of scholars? Anyone with a discerning eye will be able to see who will make the greatest contribution at that time.”
Liang Shiyi was also a first-rate person in the world. After a moment of thought, he understood: "Zhang Zuolin has already set up a large network of influence. This is to get Zhang Hanqing to support him and to use his huge financial resources, even if he spends money, to win." Make a scene." He was very confident, because this was his strength, and he accepted Zhang Zuolin's kindness with joy. He suddenly felt very close to the young man in front of him: "Speaking of which, your father and I should also be close to each other, but the journey is far away and there is no leisure for a while. Since he has done so many things behind the scenes, Shibo can't Gan lives as a queen. If we meet one day, we will definitely have an affair with him." Then suddenly he remembered something: "Then what was the second thing Han Qing said?"
This old fox never forgets "profit" even when he is proud of himself. His reputation as the "Five-Way God of Wealth" is not an empty boast.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: and have a good breakthrough in the matter of "profit". As soon as Zhang Hanqing mentioned the idea of ??building coal mines and iron mines in Fengtian, Liang Shiyi knew that the autumn wind was coming.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? But it’s a good fight. This mine construction is a good thing with huge profits - as long as you have resources, recruit some people and buy some equipment, you can continue to make money. In this way, you have a tacit understanding with Zhang Zuolin, and you can build factories and mines under his protection and make money. Isn’t it great that everyone makes money? As for whether Zhang Zuolin would become interested in annexing this industry, Liang Shiyi didn't even think about it - there was no such precedent in the Republic of China. And as a local official, if Zhang Zuolin wants to make a voice or gain attention in the central government, he will not miss out on his own.
The unexpected surprise was that Liang Shiyi, in addition to agreeing to take a stake in Fengtian "Merchants Bureau", also spent his own money to establish Wutong Navigation Company, which sailed in Songhua River and Heilongjiang and managed fisheries. He also built several docks in the upper reaches of several tributaries in Fengtian Province. , this can be regarded as a return favor to Zhang Zuolin - he always thought it was Zhang Zuolin's idea.
The guests and hosts enjoy themselves. For the first time, Liang Shiyi sent Zhang Hanqing out of the ceremony. This was a rare honor. Ordinary ministerial officials in the Republic of China did not receive this treatment. Everyone who knew the news was very interested in Zhang Hanqing, a young man: If the military circles praised him highly, why did the political circles also care about him so much? Who is this guy?
After sending Zhang Hanqing away, Liang Shiyi decisively and immediately convened a meeting with the officials of the transportation department to discuss the crisis facing the transportation and energy department. At the meeting, Liang Shiyi proposed: "With the current predicament of the transportation system, the only way to cancel the proposal is to support the imperial system; if we do not support the imperial system, the consequences may be disastrous."
The generals discussed the matter one after another and couldn't agree on what to do. Liang Shiyi listened impatiently beside him, and he pointed it out simply: "If you agree with the monarchy, there is no shame. If you don't agree, you don't have the head. If you want the head or the face, it's up to you."
Everyone at the meeting looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally they all agreed: "You have no shame!"
Later, after Liang Shiyi and others decided to "lose their heads", they launched a citizen petition group. In addition to members of the transportation department, there were also political celebrities such as Zhang Zhenfang, Na Yantu, Liang Hongzhi, Ruan Zhongshu, and Xia Shoutian. He also publicly recommended Shen Yunpei as the president and prepared to launch a petition.
Ruan Zhongshu visited his old friend Duan Zhigui again after he returned to Beijing. Under Ruan Zhongshu's guidance, Duan Zhigui hit it off with the citizens' petition group and decided that Duan Zhigui would come forward to invite Zhu Qiqian, Lei Zhenchun, Jiang Chaozong, Zhou Ziqi, Yuan Naikuan, Zhu Jiabao, Zhang Zuolin, Lu Jianzhang, Gu Ao and other powerful figures jointly formed the National Petition Federation. As a result, the imperial faction of the petition meeting gained momentum for a while, and the key members of the meeting were nicknamed the "Thirteen Taibao". As one of the founders, Zhang Zuolin became an early political stain even though he was not classified as one of the Thirteen Taibao.
Under the secret operations of Liang Shiyi, Duan Zhigui and others, officials from various places were also invited to send "citizens" to represent the "public opinion" (the expenses were of course fully covered by the transportation department); subsequently, these people bribed some newspapers to publish public opinion reports every day. Advocating the imperial system under the guise makes it look like the real thing.In this wayas long as you have real money, you are not afraid of false public opinion!
The National Petition Federation is powerful, rich and powerful, and of course cannot be matched by the "Six Gentlemen" who play with pens. The performance of handing out petitions at the door of the Senate was actually a masterpiece planned by the "Seven Evils". The petitioners this time are divided into business petition groups, academic petition groups, provincial petition groups, women's petition groups, etc. Everyone who comes to participate in the petition will be given a political participation fee, and everyone will have a share. Different prices will be given according to status, status and reputation. . The transportation department is throwing money everywhere, how can this momentum be reduced?
Yang Du saw that Liang Shiyi and others came up from behind and stole his limelight. He couldn't help but said angrily: "Liang Caishen, Liang Caishen, you are really good. You are rich and powerful, and I can't defeat you, but you are also powerful." Don't be so arrogant, let's wait and see!" He still didn't know that the man behind the conspiracy was none other than Young Master Zhang, whom he despised. (Zhang Hanqing: Who told this guy to keep his eyes open and insist on provoking me?)
"But the scholars were so short of money that they couldn't accomplish anything big with just 200,000 yuan. In the end, they just organized some petition groups for beggars and prostitutes, which the God of Wealth looked down upon, to talk about their merits. Under the pressure of the petition meeting, the Preparatory Committee soon became a thing of the past, and finally ended up in a situation where no one was interested in it. In anger, Yang Du had no choice but to take down the signboard of "Council for Preparing for Security Council" and put up a signboard of "Council for the Advancement of Constitutional Government". But after all, it was old wine in a new bottle and could not produce any new tricks. .
Helplessly, He Hua went, and worked hard for others to marry clothes. As a result, the Six Gentlemen gave up the stage, and the task of petitioning for restructuring fell to Liang Shiyi's National Petition Federation, which was well-funded and talented.
??One wants to keep his scholarly talents, while the other has no sense of shame; the former relies on passion, while the latter has strong strength. In such a confrontation, does Yang Du have any chance of winning?
Even Yang Du's teacher Wang Kaiyun criticized Yang Du's practice of "voting" to implement autocracy, saying: "There are many slanders, but those who know the wise are not afraid. But there is no need, there is no reason to be suspicious. If you want to change the autocracy, you still follow the will of the people." , This is unreasonable.” (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 78 Crack
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Within the Pass, under the organization of Yang Du, Liang Shiyi and others, the so-called "National Voluntary Federation" submitted three petitions to the Political Council, asking the Council to "cut out the redundant and simplify it", "set up another agency to solicit public opinion" and "determine the state system". , and consolidate the foundation of the country."
With no other choice, on October 6, the Senate decided not to convene the National Assembly, but instead to "select national representatives based on the primary candidates of the National Assembly, form the National Congress, and decide on the state system."
Two days later, the "Election Law of the National Congress" was announced, which meant that all legal procedures for convening the election of the "Emperor" were in place. So, on October 10, which was the National Day of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai came out and said that he was waiting for the people to solve the national system problem: "This president is entrusted by the people to save the country and the people as his own responsibility. What the people like and dislike will do. The only way to make good use of competition is to abide by the "Covenant", take the people as the main body, and ensure that the correct public opinion of the majority of the country is obtained to determine compliance."
Yuan Shikai’s meaning is very obvious, that is, he follows public opinion. Once public opinion wants him to be emperor, he will become emperor. Then, the most important thing is to convene a congress for "election". If this had not happened in history, Zhang Hanqing would have no doubt that Lao Yuan’s methods were the same as those of time-travelers:
First of all, the representatives participating in the conference were not elected by each province at all, but were selected by Yuan Shikai himself. Only a few provinces can customize it, but in the end it all has to be considered reliable by Yuan Shikai. Each of these selected representatives was given 500 yuan by Yuan Shikai as Sichuan capital and public funds. This is obviously taking money to buy votes!
Secondly, this conference was not held centrally in Beijing, but was held separately in each province under the supervision of provincial generals and governors. The votes are then brought to Beijing for counting.
It seems that the whole country is singing praises for Lao Yuan's proclaimed emperor, but this is not the case.
On the surface, the person who can’t stand Lao Yuan proclaiming the emperor the most is probably Li Yuanhong. Others may follow suit. He is Lao Yuan’s vice president. Lao Yuan proclaims himself emperor. What is he? Vice emperor? No country in the world has had this title in history. However, Lao Yuan also grasped his weakness of being afraid of getting into trouble. His nickname "Captain Under the Bed" perfectly highlighted his background.
When the Revolution of 1911 broke out, the Hubei New Army uprising in Wuchang, and it took a short time to capture the three towns of Wuhan (Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang) and establish the Hubei Military Government. So who will be the leader? Some people say that there is no need to say Sun Yat-sen. But Sun Yat-sen couldn't come, why? It is written in the history textbook that Sun Yat-sen cannot come back from abroad. In fact, that's not entirely true. He was the most wanted political prisoner in the Qing Dynasty at that time, and he would be killed if caught. Moreover, the revolution is only happening here in Hubei at this time. It is hard to say what will happen in the future. It is impossible for him to come back and directly lead the revolution.
So who comes up next? Talk about Huang Xing and the others? That won't work. After all, they are from outside. If the military government in Hubei wants to be able to stand, it will only rely on outsiders. Some local people will be dissatisfied and unstable. Therefore, there were very different opinions within the Revolutionary Party at that time. At this time, it was recognized by everyone that we had to find someone who could be controlled in Hubei. Who do you think of? Thinking of Li Yuanhong. As a famous general in Lianghu, Li Yuanhong's influence in the military circle cannot be ignored. If he were to serve as the governor, various places would surely follow suit and respond to the revolution. By that time, the whole country will form a vigorous momentum, and the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty will be just around the corner.
In this way, the revolutionaries went to invite Li Yuanhong. Li Yuanhong didn't want to touch this at all at that time. He couldn't stand the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government and allowed the world's powers to carve up China, but he didn't have the guts to let him rebel. Therefore, when the Revolutionary Party invited him, he could not shirk it in every possible way. Forced to no avail, the revolutionaries went to his house in large numbers with guns, telling them to come out even if they said they wanted to, or even if they didn't. Li Yuanhong was so frightened that he hid under the bed in his third concubine's room, but was dragged out from under the bed by the revolutionaries. This is how the title of "Captain Under the Bed" came to be.
Li Yuanhong said, "Don't harm me. I don't want to do this." In the end, the revolutionaries got angry and said, "If you don't go, we will kill you." In the end, Li Yuanhong had no choice but to be kidnapped and taken outside the Hubei Military Government. Seeing the military flags fluttering, the ribbons fluttering, the altar erected, and the soldiers below all kneeling down to worship, Li Yuanhong had no choice but to become the governor of the Hubei Military Government and the leader of the revolutionary army at that time.
In 1912, when the Republic of China was established, Sun Yat-sen became the interim president, and Li Yuanhong became the military governor of Hubei. We learned later that Yuan Shikai used his own methods to force Sun Yat-sen to give up the position of president. On October 6, 1913, Yuan Shikai became president in Shanghai, and Li Yuanhong became vice president as a matter of course. However, he settled in Hubei. And Yuan Shikai thought, this?Yuanhong is not one of our own, is it convenient to use this? He felt that Li Yuanhong was a serious problem, and he thought he was Sun Yat-sen's man. Therefore, in October 1913, Duan Qirui was sent to Wuhan, and in the name of "negotiating important political matters", he deceived Li Yuanhong into Beijing and placed him under house arrest in Yingtai. Then he began to win over him and let his son marry Li Yuanhong's daughter, and the two families became a family of sons and daughters.
It was a hard move to deal with Li Yuanhong, who was in charge but not powerful; but another move was used to deal with Feng Guozhang, his confidant and an important member of the Communist Party's team, but it was a defeat.
When Feng Guozhang learned that the Yuan family and his son were planning an imperial system in Beijing, he was very surprised. After discussing with Mrs. Zhou, we decided to go to Beijing to learn the inside story, so we went to Beijing to visit Yuan in person in June of that year. Feng asked: "There is a rumor that the president wants to change the monarchy. Is it true?" Yuan replied: "Hua Fu, you and I are all members of our own family. I might as well explain to you what I am thinking. The pioneers in history were only a few years old. 50. I am nearly 60 years old. My hair on my temples is all white and my energy is not as good as before. Anyone who wants to be an emperor must have a good son and a good foundation. My eldest son, Ke Ding, has a foot problem and is a useless lame. The second son Kewen just wants to be a famous man, and the third and fourth sons are all playboys, let alone promising. If I become emperor, which one will be my heir? In the future, it will only bring disaster, but no good." What else could he say? He has bought a house in London, England. If the Chinese people force him to become emperor, he will go to England to live in an apartment. When Feng saw Yuan Shikai's vow, he believed it.
However, while Yuan was "swearing to the sky and arguing that he had nothing to do", his cronies were actively preparing for an imperial system. After Feng returned to Nanjing, the Beijing "Security Preparatory Committee" openly advocated the restoration of the imperial system. Feng Guozhang did not dare not believe it or fully believe it, so he had to send a secret message to Zhang Yimo, director of the Confidential Bureau of the Presidential Palace who opposed the imperial system, and soon got the answer: "There is a reason for everything." "Answer. Feng Guozhang felt deeply cheated and said angrily: "How can he regard us as his own? His work is really not bad!" From then on, the conflict between Feng Guozhang and the Yuan family gradually intensified.
In addition to Duan Qirui who has resigned, several Beiyang generals are opposed to Yuan Yuan's proclaiming emperor. This is a great regret for Yuan Shikai. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 79 The situation is compelling

In Beijing, those who want to die are still trying to die.
What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom.
Looking at all the provinces in the country, except for a few close confidantes with Yuan Shikai such as Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui who dared to speak a few words, there were almost no generals who foolishly said that they opposed old Yuan's proclaiming the emperor. Even Yan, who was not born in Beiyang, Xishan (it seems that Lao Yan supported everyone during the Beiyang period) and Zhang Zuolin also actively persuaded them to join. How could Yang Du, as President Yuan's official scholar, be content to be second to others? The security committee he led was jumping up and down, trying desperately to encourage Comrade Lao Yuan to become emperor. There is no way, under the pressure of Liang Shiyi's "National Petition Group", he can't do it without working hard!
Fengtian’s Zhang Zuolin lived up to his words and expressed his support for Yuan Shikai with practical actions, showing his all-round demeanor. At the end of August, when the National Congress was held in Fengtian to vote on the issue of the state system, Zhang Zuolin led a large team of people with guns and ammunition to monitor the voting. As a result, "all" voted in favor of the monarchy. Seeing Zhang Zuolin's behavior, another local boss, Feng Delin, had no choice but to co-sign with Zhang Zuolin to submit a "petition to change the state system" to the Beijing Senate in the name of the Northeast Army and celebrities from all political and business circles in order to please Yuan Shikai and cooperate with Duan Zhigui to create public opinion for Yuan Shikai to proclaim himself emperor. .
This made Lao Yuan Da happy, and he also had a tendency to view the story of the conflict between Zhang Hanqing and Duan Qirui's nephew Duan Hongye a few days ago: Zhang Hanqing is a heroic father and a good man, with a character that loves to fight injustice and is the father of the world. They have the same spirit, which only increases their love for him. As the saying goes, "a wise man is suspicious of his neighbours", this is probably what he means, right?
If Zhang Hanqing knew that fighting for a woman was possible, he would probably be speechless.
Yan Xishan, General Tongwu and Supervisor of Shanxi Military Affairs, first provided 20,000 yuan in silver coins to the Security Council, and then sent a series of telegrams to persuade them to proceed. He belittled the Revolution of 1911 as "an expedient procedure in the era of the new and old brothers" and believed that "the decision should be made with Chinese feelings." It is not appropriate to continue to use the republican system." "It is not enough to be strong without strictly practicing militarism. If you want to strictly enforce militarism, you must first implement a constitutional monarchy." A man of great talent, taking advantage of the momentum of great potential, resolutely took it upon himself to save the country and the people, and showed humility when nothing was done." Yuan couldn't help being happy after reading it and commented that it was "quite insightful".
In September, Duan Zhigui, together with Guangdong Long Jiguang and other 24 provincial generals, secretly submitted to Yuan Shikai to "quickly ascend to the throne":
In September, Xu Lanzhou, commander of the Army's First Division stationed in Heilongjiang, sent a telegram to persuade them to advance.
In September, Feng Delin, commander of the 28th Army Division stationed in Fengtian, persuaded the army to advance.
Zhu Qinglan, the right general stationed in Heilongjiang and Zhen'an, persuaded them to advance.
General Meng Enyuan, who was stationed in Jilin, persuaded them to advance.
Cao Kun, the garrison commander stationed in Yuezhou, Hunan and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the mighty general, persuaded the troops to advance.
……
As soon as the Hongxian monarchy came into being, he was reviled and denounced by the whole country. He was called a traitor in his hometown. His former friend Liang Qichao called him a "shameless, squirming lover."
The word "sweetheart" originally refers to "the concubine whom your husband loves more". Yang Du is a manly man, and Lao Yuan has never had any scandals about his masculine behavior. There is only another explanation that is more reasonable, "a minister favored by the monarch."
This was an injustice to Yang Du: "I just found a suitable stage, what does it have to do with my lover?" Moreover, he contributed so much to the empire, but he did not achieve the goal of his imperial master. Even the founding of the country He was not regarded as a hero. Later, when he was awarded the award, he was only awarded the four honorary titles and the idle posts of participating in political affairs in the political council. His attempt to use a constitutional monarchy to realize the path of national salvation was just a personal ambition; instigating Lao Yuan to proclaim himself emperor was just a step to implement his life ideals. In essence, he cannot be considered to be flattering. It can only be said that he used Lao Yuan to realize his dream of life value, and Lao Yuan gave him a stage for governance.
At this special moment, Yuan Shikai increased his precautions against all parties. The situation is so critical that it is no exaggeration to call it white terror. Until President Yuan Da proclaimed himself emperor, public opinion was firmly suppressed: by November 3, the Ministry of Internal Affairs prohibited "China News" from "selling and spreading" outside the concession. On November 7, Yuan Ji’s Copyright Law was promulgated.
Yuan Shikai was of course very worried about Feng Guozhang who openly expressed his dissatisfaction. He took strict precautions. First, Wang Ziming and others were placed around Feng Guozhang to monitor his actions; it was also rumored that Zhang Xun had received a secret message from Yuan Shikai, saying that Feng Guozhang was unreliable and asked him to monitor him nearby. Not only that, after Yuan Shikai's best friend Shanghai garrison Zheng Rucheng was assassinated, Yuan sent his crony Yang Shande to lead the fourth division to move to Shanghai to monitor Feng Guozhang. Not long after, Lu Yongxiang was sent to lead the 10th Division to Wusong, also to guard against Feng Guozhang. Seeing this situation, Feng Guozhang understood that Yuan Shikai no longer believed in him. From then on, his relationship with the Yuan family and his son gradually became alienated, and he refused to do anything anymore.??Yuan Shikai worked hard. Soon, the Yuan family and his son instructed Jiangsu Governor Qi Yaolin to elect representatives and hold a vote to change the state system. When Qi appointed representatives, Feng hinted that all members of the War Office were not representatives and would not participate in voting activities. On the day of the voting, Feng Guozhang refused to go because he was ill; Qi personally went to the office to persuade him, and he reluctantly arrived, but he sat there silently without saying a word.
Lao Yuan did not relax his vigilance against the outstanding figures such as Cai E who had the intention of "supporting" him. Zhang Hanqing, who was hanging out with Cai E, often found that the people he was watching secretly changed again and again, and the number of people gradually increased. This made General Cai a little anxious, and it became more difficult for him to escape. I don’t know whether Zhang Hanqing influenced Cai E, or whether Cai E influenced Zhang Hanqing and then affected himself. Anyway, according to historical records, at this time and space, Cai E should have left Tianjin and fled to Japan on the pretext of medical treatment, but he was never able to make the trip. This made him restless and felt that he should do something for the country.
Zhang Hanqing also felt that the situation was not good: his series of actions in Beijing had a certain influence in the military, political, and financial circles, and also influenced Lao Yuan to be more wary of his intelligence. The strangers around him There are also more people. It seems that Lao Yuan has a good impression of him, but it has not affected his political judgment.
Logically speaking, Zhang Hanqing should be proud that a young man could win such favor from President Yuan. But it is undoubtedly unpleasant to think that there is a shadow beside you all the time, no matter whether you are eating, drinking or sleeping, someone is spying on you. Just like a star, he is exposed to the spotlight all the time, without any private space, and his life is naturally boring (of course, it is not ruled out that some people and things are deliberately exposed to the paparazzi to gain attention, but Zhang Hanqing does not have this habit) .
Everyone at the top and bottom felt that the situation was pressing, so naturally there was no life in the city of Beijing. Cai E could only engage in family affairs with Zhang Hanqing more frequently, trying not to get involved in this crazy drama. It was because I was too afraid of Lao Yuan, and it was time for Lao Yuan to relax his control over him. He was a little worried about Zhang Hanqing's sharpness during this period, so he pulled Zhang Hanqing and said: "Hanqing has been in frequent contact with military figures recently, and he has become suspicious of the president. I heard the man who came yesterday said that he would order the Law Enforcement Department to work for you and me. Set up a separate investigation team. You decide the merits yourself."
The situation was so critical, Zhang Hanqing naturally accepted his kindness, nodded and said, "What Uncle Shi said is that Xueliang is here to concentrate on his studies, and if he gets the chance, he will taint himself like Uncle Shi."
When Cai E heard this, his old face became hot and he ran away. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 80 Self-destruction
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
What Zhang Hanqing said about self-destruction seemed to be a sarcasm to the upright Cai E. Although it is just a temporary measure, through the ages, many heroes have used it to protect themselves or overcome difficulties skillfully. However, considering that the "nephew" in front of me has just turned 15 years old, it seems a bit like instigating minors. Even a hero like Cai E cannot be calm about this.
Because of his self-destruction, he chose the eight major alleys in the capital. If you don’t believe me, what do you automatically think of when mentioning the “Eight Hutongs”?
There are countless hutongs in Beijing, and it is no accident that the eight major hutongs are famous both at home and abroad. By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, it had become synonymous with Fireworks and Willow Lane, a place of abnormal prosperity. Youdao is the name of "the eight major alleys since ancient times, Baishun Stone City in Shaanxi Province. There are many string songs beside Hanjiatan, and the lights are bright on Wangguang Xiejie. In front of Wanfo Temple, there are two roads crisscrossing the outside of the camp. How many wealthy people in mink fur are known, and clusters of rouge climb up the slope." "
In fact, the "Eight Hutongs" that old Beijingers refer to do not specifically refer to these eight streets, but generally refer to the area around Dashilan outside Qianmen, because there are nearly a hundred hutongs outside these eight streets and alleys. Big and small brothels. It's just that back then, most of the brothels in these eight alleys were first- and second-class, and the "grade" of the prostitutes was relatively high, so they were so famous.
"If Zhang Zuolin knew that he had ruined his eldest son's reputation, how could he be embarrassed to meet his "brother" again? Although the two may never meet again in this life, this is also the case in history.
“The mountains are bright and the water is clear, frost comes at night, and several trees turn deep red and turn light yellow.” It is late autumn, a colorful season in old Beijing when ginkgo leaves are yellow and maple leaves are red. Starting from late October, with the autumn wind, the ginkgo trees in the streets and alleys are like lamps, lit up with a brush.
Since ancient times, literati have mourned autumn. Isn’t this autumn the sorrow in the eyes of literati? But compared to the worry of being healthy, Cai E was really worried. As Yuan Shikai's good days were approaching, the "Capital Law Enforcement Office" had also stepped up monitoring of his whereabouts, causing him to spend more and more time in the Bada Hutongs.
Because I have been close to Cai E recently, and under the observation and guidance of Gao Jiyi, I also found that there are some unusual strangers around me. Maybe his recent performance has been exposed to Lao Yuan? Therefore, the people from the Capital Law Enforcement Department also increased their surveillance on themselves.
"Compared with Cai Shishu's sadness, Zhang Hanqing is a bit more chic. He got "advice" from Cai E, and "sure enough" he spent less time studying and more time for romance. Since self-destruction is a kind of fun, let's just let it go. However, due to the lack of "night life" equipment in this era and the fear of Hualiu Disease, he was basically romantic but not obscene in Huanyue Field, and he could not maintain his indestructible body.
Originally he was just putting on a show, but he got too involved and thought he was a prostitute. Although he came through time, he still took over the body of the original owner. This affectation actually stimulated the romantic young commander's potential. Within a month, all kinds of girls in the Bada Hutongs knew that Mr. Zhang Liu, a high-roller from Liaodong, was "stupid, rich, and quick to come."
There is no other way. Zhang Hanqing, who wants to use General Cai's reputation and connections to do something in Beijing, has no choice but to get into Cai E's circle and win his trust in order to achieve his goal.
But similarly, Cai E also wants to break into another circle and indirectly win the trust of another person.
This circle is Yang Du’s “Safeguarding Committee.”
As the person in charge of the "Preparation Committee", the birthplace of the imperial system, and the future prime minister of the Yuan family, Yang Du will not talk about his political ability, but he has been evaluated in history as a suave, unruly, romantic, and infatuated person. Great celebrity, but not fake.
Since you are a "celebrity", you must naturally have a "celebrity demeanor". Although he could not reach the level of catching lice like in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, he would not be able to escape if he invited friends and people to go to the eight alleys every night to collect songs and pursue beauty. Cai E decided to break into their circle, so he had to do it. Those people each have girls they like, so Cai E can't always take Zhang Hanqing with him, right? Although 15-year-old Zhang Hanqing has red lips and white teeth, she already has the potential to be a pretty girl. During the Republic of China, there was a legacy of the late Qing Dynasty, and prostitutes could still be called romantic by the literati, but their masculine behavior had already become a disgrace. Cai E is desecrating himself, but he is not secluded from others.
Yang Du took advantage of the fact that he and Cai E were both from Hunan Province and went to Mianmian Hutong every day to urge Cai E to be listed as one of the founders of the imperial system. Because the "Safeguarding Committee" at this time is just a group of flatterers trying to use their pens, and there are very few that are truly influential. Only if Cai E, who has outstanding influence among military generals across the country, can be named, will it be convincing.
And Cai E needs to express his agreement, otherwise, not only will he still be under house arrest, but his life will be in danger; but with his personality, directly expressing his approval will make the suspicious President Yuan suspicious, because his mentor is Liang Qichao.
Liang Qichao, who lives in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin, is a typical opponent of proclaiming emperor. Just a few months ago, he wrote a very popular article "The So-called People with National System Problems" denounced Yuan's proclaiming emperor. After Yuan Shikai got the news, he sent someone to deliver a 200,000-yuan banknote to Liang Qichao to wish Liang Qichao's father a birthday. In exchange, the article was not allowed to be published, but Liang Qichao returned the banknote. Yuan Shikai sent another person to Liang Qichao and said, "Mr. Liang has also been in exile overseas for more than ten years. It's not that he doesn't know the hardships. Why should he seek hardships again?" Liang Qichao replied, "I have enough experience in running for my life." I would rather flee than live in the dirty air."
With such a teacher, how could the students fall behind? And before entering Beijing, he held a heavy army and always presented himself as an unyielding man. After arriving in Beijing, although his position was promoted and his authority was lost, he was still respected by the Beiyang generals including Yuan Shikai for his righteousness. Impressed. In a word, General Cai has never been a servile person.
Only female sex is one of the conditions that give you the opportunity to change your appearance. "A beauty can become a beauty in anger". Beauties love heroes, and heroes also love beauties!
But it was a bit too sudden to ask the clean General Cai to go directly to Bada Hutong. So, just by chance, oh no, by coincidence, Zhang Hanqing came to Beijing. He also behaves very immature and lustful - anyone who asks him to speak will be sent to live in the Peking University Hall!
With President Yuan Da’s casual remark, “If you want to learn about military affairs, ask Councilor Chiang Kai-shek for military training,” General Cai Da naturally had the opportunity to ask Young Master Zhang to do some business. Naturally, they became familiar with each other after going back and forth.
As an elder, General Cai took Zhang Hanqing to see the city of Beijing. Others had nothing to say, right? Mr. Zhang, the Sixth Young Master, wants to go shopping in Bada Hutong. Is there nothing wrong with a place that is innocuous to the people of the time? Young Master Zhang is going to "experience" life, so what's wrong with Cai Shishu accompanying him? In that kind of place, normal people will be infected, right? It's inevitable that your shoes will get wet if you often walk by the river, right? Is it normal for General Cai to get wet when he goes to the countryside and does as the Romans do? After all, this responsibility is all caused by Mr. Zhang, isn't it?
So naturally, the two friends, one big and one small, often put their arms around each other and "self-defiled" each other.
The purpose of this is to let Yuan Shikai behind Yang Du see that Cai E is also a romantic seed. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 81 Tea Party
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
One evening in late autumn, in the drizzle, a handsome young man walked through Shaanxi Lane with his entourage. The attendant is about thirty years old, with a strong, straight and upright figure, regular facial features and outstanding features. The younger one was only about ten years old. Although his face was handsome and majestic, his incessant glances betrayed his heart. The older of the two is dressed as an ordinary businessman, while the younger one is dressed in a very modern style with oily hair and pink face.
It looked like the eldest son of a wealthy family was accompanied by a follower. The escort in the brothel was also a person who knew the goods. He didn't dare to neglect. He stepped forward to greet the young man, grabbed the sleeve of the young man and left: "This young man is really a dragon and a phoenix among men. My girls will definitely like it. I don’t know which girl from my family you like? I’m an old slave. I’ll make the decision today and I’ll give you a preferential price.”
The little boy flicked his sleeves and said, "It's so unbecoming to tug and tug in broad daylight!"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The older one was caught off guard and was held tightly by him: "Brother, my Xiaocui has been waiting for you for a long time."
The little boy felt a chill: "Where is this? Xiao Cui really said that. If we were in the Northeast, wouldn't it be pickled vegetables served on Cuihua?"
Scenes of scenes of soliciting clients from movies and TV flashed in his mind, and the young man nodded and smiled lustfully, as if he had endless aftertaste.
When the companions see that the business is going to be successful, don't they just chase the snake and follow them? Immediately pushed and supported. You must know that these companions, commonly known as "turtle men", rely on this to make a living. After all, the boy is still young and cannot resist the wolf-like figure of the companions. But the middle-aged man was very impressive. The two companions were close to each other, but he grabbed them and pushed them aside.
However, when he looked back, he saw the young man pouting at him, implying that someone was watching from a distance, and he immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to defile himself. At that moment, he naturally straightened his wrinkled coat, shook his sleeves, and walked towards the alley. At the same time, the young man was half-obediently taken into a courtyard in the alley. While pushing and shoving, I seemed to see the word "cloud" and "吉" on one side of the main entrance of the courtyard.
A middle-aged woman, who was in her thirties and forties, with a puff of breasts and lipstick, came over and said: "My eldest son, I have been waiting for you to come." The smell of cheap powder hit her face. The smoke made the young man want to vomit.
Needless to say, this young boy is our Shaoshuai Zhang, and that follower is the complicit General Cai. With the mentality of experiencing life and increasing his knowledge, Zhang Hanqing has no prejudice against entering these places. Although he did not have the opportunity or idea to really invest in his previous life and the first half of this life, there is nothing wrong with getting in touch with the lives of the people at the bottom. no? If you are selfless in your heart, all four elements are empty.
He pretended to be very familiar and pointed at the accomplice accompanying him: "Introduce the beautiful girl in your courtyard, and let me find a companion by the way."
The madam secretly rejoiced: "Sure enough, the business is good, even the attendants are benefiting from it, it seems that they are fat sheep." Now he was even more attentive, and brought the two of them into a relatively clean room, and served tea with them. , the madam hurriedly called for the girls to come out and meet her.
In a moment, two young girls dressed very delicately walked over. Zhang Hanqing took a closer look, wow, they are all beauties! Definitely not inferior to heaven and earth. Take another look below, wow, little feet!
It’s not that Zhang Hanqing is philanthropic, but it’s really good. The world outside is so chaotic now, and as President Yuan becomes more and more obsessed with proclaiming himself emperor, the political atmosphere in Beijing is not very good, and even business is not easy to do. Otherwise, the madam would not have moved the pillars directly out during the peacetime.
Another reason is that Zhang Hanqing looked like a rich man at first sight. The madam made up her mind to kill this fat sheep the first time she met him. She wanted to suppress the others first and shock the two of them to death. .
If Zhang Hanqing and Cai E were experts at this, they would know that what the madam did was wrong: when the strangers first arrived, the turtle slave shouted for the guests to come, and all the prostitutes who were not waiting for the guests ran out and crowded together for the guests to pick and choose. The meeting there was called "Yi Cha" and it only happened at the lower-grade Yaoer brothel.
And in slightly higher-end brothels, such as the Changsan brothel, the tea party rules indicate that guests must constantly strive for their own status. First-time customers don't just click on whoever they want. The kind of prostitutes waiting to be clicked is just an exaggeration in movies and TV shows.
The only way for guests to improve their status is to "play tea".
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were also a set of rules for visiting kilns. Higher-end brothels are not something that can be bought and sold with cash as modern people imagine, but require a process. The first step in this process is to go to the brothel where she is to drink, smoke, eat snacks and chat. This kind of communication is called "tea gathering". When strangers come to the small class for tea, they must be introduced by regular customers. When the companion saw that he was a stranger, heTea was served in a small teacup with a round head, and it was this kind of teacup that was placed in front of Zhang Hanqing and General Cai.
A guide book explains: "When it comes to the fun of tea gathering, it goes one step further than Jingtang Chai. Because Jingtang Chai is usually in a place where everyone can see it, it is often easy to be restrained. When doing tea gathering, you can be a little wild. , can talk about the secret love, talk and laugh." After the tea party guests were led into the prostitute's room, the door curtain was lowered, the electric light was turned on, and the elegant furnishings were particularly eye-catching, which also served as a signal for other guests to avoid it.
When strangers who are not recognized in the brothel come, they will only serve tea with small tea bowls or old tea bowls; when favored guests come, they will add another bowl, which is a larger tea bowl taken from the prostitute's own tea set. . For policemen, petty officials, or new customers who have had previous relationships with prostitutes or madams, extra tea bowls will be added.
Of course, there is usually a two-way choice. If the prostitute is unwilling to associate with this stranger, the client must find another prostitute. It is a two-way choice and a fair transaction. If the prostitute is also willing, she will signal her aunt to change another exquisite tea bowl, brew the tea and hand it to the guest herself, which is commonly known as "adding a tea bowl, making a good match". After having a tea party and having a good relationship, clients can visit the brothel at any time, and strangers become regular clients. As for whether the transaction can be successful on the day, it depends on whether the two parties can see eye-to-eye.
The two girls are pretty good-looking, one is tall and thin, looks gentle and honest, and is not too tall at all; the other is medium-sized and plump but somewhat reluctant. Naturally, the Sixth Young Master Zhang took pity on her, and first pulled the gentle and tall girl to his side, leaving the hard bones for General Cai to gnaw on.
Cai E was just depressed and went out for a walk casually. He did not intend to visit prostitutes, so he pretended not to know Zhang Hanqing's treacherous intentions.
The girls in the brothel are all well-trained, and they must first pour tea for the customers. This is the rule. If the client is a fledgling, the girls need to take the initiative. While Mr. Zhang was enjoying this kind of etiquette, he found that the girl was just standing there motionless, so General Cai had to hold the cup himself.
In contrast, Zhang Hanqing's treatment is much more attractive to women than the dull General Cai. Although he is not an expert in this way, after all, he used someone's body, and the innate hormones in his body allowed him to quickly adapt to the environment. , and started shouting "sister, sister" randomly, which made the gentle girl feel quite warm. Not only did the girl make the tea herself, she also asked her to bring her own tea bowl to use, and it was a big bowl. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 82 Little Phoenix Fairy
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????… Unlike modern prostitutes on the street, the first thing to do is "Sir, do you want to have sex?" turning an originally pleasing and elegant thing into a naked money transaction. Although this is essentially what it is, the Chinese value "implicit beauty". In later generations, sexual life also involves foreplay, right? Otherwise, you will be too impatient and will be looked down upon by your peers.
Zhang Hanqing has never had the opportunity to touch or touch beautiful women after time travel. This is something he often did before time travel. He was engaged in business and business promotion. Can he do this if he is not familiar with it? After being in this world for many days, I have never had a chance to use my skills. Miss Zhu San, although I can see and imagine that she is not her cup of tea. Now suddenly two girls who look like Diao Chan came here (there seems to be a saying that after three years in the army, a sow competes with Diao Chan or something like that——Zhang Hanqing: Huh? How could I think of this sentence in this situation?)
Having a passion for beautiful women is one thing, but what I am even more interested in is small feet. I had only seen in books that women in the old society had their feet bound, but I had never seen what it was really like. Later, it was said that ordinary lower-class workers in the old society generally did not have their feet bound, because they would not be able to withstand heavy physical labor. Only the daughters of dignitaries and wealthy families had the opportunity to "enjoy" the fashion of bound feet. Like our Marshal Zhang, none of Zhang Hanqing's sisters had bound feet because their family was poor since they were young. Zhang Hanqing has never had the opportunity to see this rare thing since he traveled through time. Now I have the opportunity to see it. Not only that, but I can also take the opportunity to play with it, mop it up and so on. It’s a lot of fun and I’ve learned a lot!
“ Tea drinking in Beijing brothels is very particular. Although prostitutes are a remnant of feudalism and a symbol of the low status of women and the supremacy of male supremacy, it was not easy for men in the old capital to go to the Bada Hutong to enjoy this kind of entertainment.
Rules in a brothel: If there are two guests sitting in a room, each joking with their favorite prostitute, then the two prostitutes should each take out a tea bowl to entertain their guests. Failure to do so will cause the guests to be humiliated. If a prostitute is angry with a regular customer, she will not take out her tea bowl to greet the guest. This practice of snubbing the guest is called "leather tea bowl". Unlucky customers either find other prostitutes or drink tea from the brothel's tea bowls.
“Don’t think that this girl is yours after drinking tea, it’s still early. A guide book explains this: "You can go to her room with the person you choose to sit and talk. If you like to talk nonsense, just talk nonsense. It doesn't hurt to be more romantic." For one hour, you can let the prostitute accompany you to chat, sing songs, and eat sweets. But that's about it. The rule is that you can only flirt but not succeed, which is the legendary stage of "showing off your skills but not selling yourself". When the time comes, the madam calls her off, and the client pays and leaves. When they meet each other, the guest will have to make an appointment to come back at another time.
After a few tea parties, the prostitutes are obliged to hold banquets or set up gambling games to bring revenue to the brothel. This is in line with the masculine and elegant behavior of upper-class prostitutes. Customers who often go to tea parties but do not host banquets will be ridiculed and looked down upon by the prostitutes. Even if guests who do have banquets are too diligent in the tea party, the madam will scold him for being stingy. However, most guide books still believe that the tea circle is the best time to establish an intimate relationship with a prostitute. If the client "acts with dignity and means", then it will not be long before the prostitutes are pursuing them instead of them chasing the prostitutes. .
Of course, there are also a very small number of people who stay on the same day, which is called "staying in the bureau". Dinner is paid for by the prostitute. "La Dapu" means prostitution during the day, which means it comes early and coincidentally. When a prostitute has a physical relationship with a client, she will bring out the best tea and ask the servant to boil the water to treat the client. Therefore, the cry of "boil water" coming from the prostitute's room means that a pleasant guest has come and she wants to serve her good tea.
When the relationship is good enough, the customer can designate the prostitute to go out of the brothel to accompany the customer, drink wine, sing, and dance with him, which is commonly known as "making notes". The rule is that the madam must lead the prostitute to socialize when "making a note" to prevent the prostitute from escaping. Of course, it’s okay to stay up all night when you meet an important guest from a big business.
Whether you are a new customer or a regular customer, a customer is still a customer. How can there be any reason why guests should pour their own tea? And the two of them came together and favored one over the other. What did the guests think? One side is as passionate as fire, the other is as cold as ice. The different hospitality between the tall girl's enthusiasm and the plump girl still makes the situation a bit awkward.
The atmosphere became a little tense, and the madam was also a smart person. When he saw this, he poured the tea himself with a smile: "Don't blame me, our girl doesn't know etiquette." Then he yelled at the girl: "Xiao Fengxian! If you have offended the two masters, the phoenix I made you shed is no better than a chicken!"
Cai E had nothing to say, but Zhang Hanqing blurted out: "Are you the little Phoenix Fairy?" He was so surprised that he could hardly close his mouth when he spoke: Darling, this is the first real historical event after time travel.Got it! It seems that the saying that the trend of history does not depend on personal will really makes sense.
The old bustard secretly rejoiced: "Is this brother also here for curiosity?"
Cai E was also very surprised: "I have only been in Beijing for a few days, does Han Qing already recognize this girl?"
Xiao Fengxian curled her lips and thought: "Another dandy."
In Beijing in the early years of the Republic of China, anyone who said they didn’t know Xiaofengxian was not qualified to say that they had lived in the Eight Great Hutongs. This little fairy is eighteen years old, but she has been smart since she was a child. She can read and write, can play the erhu, play the pipa, sing Peking opera, and write lyrics. She is said to be "excellent in both sex and art". One of the Shaanxi Xiang Yun Jiban performed singing, picking up customers and doing business, and became famous in the capital. She became a very popular prostitute in Beijing in the early years of the Republic of China.
The bumpy life experience in childhood made Xiaofengxian yearn for a strong arm to lean on. However, after experiencing all living beings, there are few people who can make her fall in love. Seeing that at such a flowery age, she couldn't find the one she liked, and sooner or later she would wither in this dark brothel, Xiao Fengxian was particularly depressed, and she developed a cynical character, and she was indifferent to everyone. Others look naturally weird.
But it was also strange that Cai E's demeanor of being unconcerned and his face that was not angry or intimidating reflected in her heart with an indescribable feeling, which actually made her have some expectations for this person. An ordinary prostitute would feel so neglected and would either walk away directly or have a fit on the spot. And this person seems to be calm from the moment he comes in, neither happy with things nor sad with himself.
As for Zhang Hanqing, well, he’s just a little kid. Although he is also very handsome, he lacks Cai E's look, well, magnanimity. If Zhang Hanqing is a butter niche, Cai E is a jade-faced killer.
General Cai was called "Lü Bu among men" by his contemporaries, and it was not for nothing. The calmness and elegant demeanor cultivated through the years of bloodshed can be called a full-time killer of girls and young women. If in future generations, he can definitely bear the honorable title of "Friend of Women". (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 83 Drinking Scented Tea
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Xiao Fengxian came to Nana, held up the teapot in Cai E's hand with her delicate hands, and said softly: "How dare you, Xiaofengxian, work so hard? Let me do the small things." She looked at the tea in the pot, and suddenly she felt pretty He raised his eyebrows and said, "Auntie, this tea bowl is too rough. I'd better change it to a better one. Why are you neglecting this distinguished guest?" With the soft voice, the person gradually became lively.
The contrast between her before and after was so great that the madam couldn't believe that this was the little Phoenix Fairy who always had an eccentric personality. However, she was also a smart person. She thought that she was very pretty and was afraid that you would not be willing to do so, so she quickly took one. The exquisite tea bowl was handed to Xiao Fengxian, along with two simple plates of fruit juice.
Xiao Fengxian has always been indifferent to men, but now she suddenly takes the initiative, which surprises the madam. I thought to myself: I don’t know what the origin of this middle-aged man was, but he actually made the always picky little Phoenix Fairy show such attentiveness for the first time. It seemed that he got what he wanted.
While I was sighing, there was another round of business coming with me. They were two strong men, one tall and one short. When the companion greeted him into the next room, the tall man seemed to glance this way. The weather was not so good and customers came one after another. The madam was very happy and busy yelling at the guests. She then told the two girls: "Hospitalize guests well" and then continued to open the business.
Over there, Zhang Hanqing looked at General Cai's suspicious eyes and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He seemed to be explaining and clarifying: "I heard people repeat the name Xiaofengxian several times when I arrived in Beijing, but I didn't expect to meet here."
There is no other way. In the future, it would be better to explain Boss Cai’s ban on prostitution as soon as possible. Although the symbol of being a good friend is that "we have carried guns together and gone to prostitutes together," we have never benefited from anything, so why bother to make a fool of ourselves? Besides, there are some things about men that cannot be shared.
You can’t help but believe in fate, there may really be a word like love at first sight in this world. As soon as Xiao Fengxian saw Cai E, she concluded that he was not like an ordinary visitor. She looked at Cai E quietly with clear eyes that could see through all kinds of life: "Is this your first time, sir?" she said in a tone of voice. Sincere and natural, it opens people's hearts. It seems to be asking, it seems to be expecting.
To be honest, it’s really Cai E’s first time here; of course, even though our young master Zhang looks suave, it’s also his first time here. However, walls have ears. If General Cai told me that this was his first time here, the "self-defiling" actions of those many days would inevitably make people think.
In that era, there were not many good men who had never visited prostitution, except for the moralists, but that didn't mean they didn't want to. In the early Republic of China, which inherited the legacy of the Qing Dynasty, prostitution was a tradition, a fashion, and a style. It was lawless and harmless, and it was no big deal.
Zhang Hanqing stared straight at Cai E. He wanted to hear the answer from the world-famous General Cai, but he completely forgot that there was a beautiful woman beside him. When I thought that I had the opportunity to report exclusive news and celebrity gossip, I felt excited. General Cai is a real person, and his credibility should be very high. Basically, he will not lie about trivial matters, otherwise he would not be able to hide it from Yuan Shikai for several years.
If the answer is no, my God, that is too direct and unrestrained! Zhang Hanqing can shout to the whole world: "General Cai has used prostitution, more than once!"
If the answer is yes, Zhang Hanqing can shout to the whole world: "Oh my God, General Cai, who is famous all over the world for his cautious conduct, is an example of a teacher, but he is still the first brother in a brothel!"
Cai E accidentally saw Zhang Hanqing's narrow smile, and seemed to know what he was thinking. He pointed at him angrily and funnyly and said: "I was brought here today by this little nephew Zhang, and he followed his lead in everything. "
Being general! Miscalculated. Ginger is still old and spicy. With a slight Tai Chi swing, the ball was thrown here. Looking at Xiao Fengxian's big eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, it seemed as if she was saying, "You are too young to learn well, so you take your uncle to a brothel." Zhang Hanqing felt a little overweight. It doesn't matter if they are strangers to each other. We all hand over the money and deliver the goods, oh no, unloading the goods. It's okay to just pull up your pants and leave, everyone knows what you're doing here. But the person opposite is Xiao Fengxian, who is destined to leave his name in history. Our young commander can be romantic but not obscene. There are some things that can be done but not said. But considering that walls have ears, some things must be said.
"The donkey will not fall down until it dies, so Zhang Hanqing cannot be stumped no matter what." His face suddenly tightened, and he replied: "Oh, that's right. After I came to Beijing, I heard Uncle Shi say that Miss Fengxian is not only beautiful, but she can also sing well. I came here today because of her fame, but I didn't expect that she would be so famous." It's better to meet, meeting is worse than being famous. I have seen the beautiful little Phoenix Fairy. I wonder if there is a chance for us to appreciate the legendary fairy sound?" Anyway, I don't intend to lose my precious virginity here. Might as well act arty.
Cai E breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had already decided to blend into this situation, it was always incompatible with hisPeople have different ideas. It's so overwhelming all of a sudden that I have to take a breather, right? Although this Han Qing is a little younger and a little smoother, he still treats people and treats with an age that belies his age.
Xiao Fengxian suddenly had a crush on Cai E, but she was unwilling to directly evolve to the level of flesh and blood. If this is the case, I am afraid that the goodwill that the two parties have just established will be gone. This little kid pretends to be an expert in flowering, but he is actually a very knowledgeable person!
Cai E and Xiao Fengxian have settled down and just listen to music. Xiao Fengxian is an expert in both sex and art. But the tall woman next to Zhang Hanqing was not happy. When the guests sing, Xiao Fengxian can naturally explain it to them, and the appearance fee will not be reduced. But what's the matter with me, listening to music with my children? There is a big difference between the price of talking and doing it! Besides, Zhang Hanqing is also very handsome. It is very rare to see such a handsome little boy and a tall girl.
She took the opportunity to pour the tea, fell directly into Zhang Hanqing's arms, and said angrily: "Little brother, I've been calling you sister for a long time, why are you so unfavorable to one another? Besides singing, sister can't compare to Xiao Fengxian, but she can do something else." Nothing bad."
"Jealousy in a brothel can be regarded as a form of coquettishness or flirting. Anyway, just don't count." Given their respective backgrounds, General Cai and Zhang Hanqing would certainly not take it seriously.
Being called a little brother, Zhang Hanqing naturally felt unhappy. Flirting requires a certain tone. This girl's looks are okay, but she's just too explicit. Who does she say she is? Zhu Songjun calls himself little brother, and this woman also calls herself little brother. Could it be that she was born to be the little brother? But the place doesn’t seem small!
But this kind of dissatisfaction is just a thought, and if you come here to listen to music and don’t care, how can you live? He helped the girl and took the opportunity to place his left hand on her chest: "What else can I do?"
The girl smiled "Puff", thinking that an eighty-year-old woman is a fool, but she couldn't tell that this little brother is still young, but his skills are quite experienced. But he refused to suffer a loss and knocked Zhang Hanqing's dirty hand off with a "snap". (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 84 On Heroes

But who is our young master Zhang? That's like a reincarnated soul boy. Although I didn’t have the chance to fulfill my long-cherished wish in my previous life, I still have a good experience of watching AV, and I have a love for the island country Iijima (Zhang Hanqing: This is a good name. Didn’t the saint say that "food, sex, and sex", this person named Iijima loves It’s really amazing to do this), Teacher Cang and others have been immersed in it for more than ten years, and they have quite a lot of experience. They have studied this matter of men and women to the core. What else is there to say about flirting and taking advantage of others? That's all you can have at your fingertips, like all your treasures!
He didn’t feel any pain, in fact it didn’t hurt at all - he said it was flirting, so he grabbed the other person’s hand with his backhand.
Taking Zhang Hanqing's hand, the tall girl half pushed and half pulled his hand to his waist. Although it was mid-autumn and both parties' clothes were thicker, Zhang Hanqing's arm was wrapped in a woman's arms intentionally or unintentionally, and he could still feel the real talent there.
Unlike Ms. Zhu San who can watch from a distance but not play with it, here you can completely release the memory by raising and lowering your hands. Although I have never had the experience of visiting a brothel, men are self-taught in some things. It's just that, with a little extra flair.
So Zhang Hanqing hugged him tighter. When the two were close to each other, the girl leaned over and whispered in Zhang Hanqing's ear: "My name is Red Peony." Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "Isn't it true that if you die under the peony flower, you can be a ghost?" 'What about the peony? Does it smell good to me?" He tried to get close to her neck to smell the fragrance, but the red peony flicked it away with two fingers: "You are seeking death!"
The two of them were flirting arrogantly. Cai E was dumbfounded at Zhang Hanqing's familiar methods and couldn't help shouting loudly in his heart: "Aristocratic family, aristocratic family! Shame on you, shame on you!"
"Xiao Fengxian has seen this game of refusing to welcome. He only glanced at Zhang Hanqing's anxious expression. Zhang Hanqing was just being pretentious and had something in his heart, so he shook off Hong Mudan's arm and couldn't help but move his butt outwards. Red Peony saw this and just snorted, whispering "Coward!"
Cai E was so moved by Zhang Hanqing's action that he no longer had any intention of listening to the music. He just said to Xiao Fengxian, half confiding and half confessing: "Miss Fengxian, although this nephew of mine, He is young, but he comes from outside the country. At such a young age, he already knows the name of the little Phoenix Fairy in this Nine-Five City after coming to Beijing for a few days. I have been here for several years, but I don’t even know about the girl. I feel ashamed to say it." (Zhang Hanqing: Expressing innocence. Really? Don’t you want Largo to be your back support?)
Xiao Fengxian leaned against Cai E's chair and said casually: "Brother is from outside the country. Do you know that there is a new little hero from outside the country in Beijing?"
Zhang Hanqing’s heart skipped a beat: “Could it be that you are talking about brother?”
It’s just an introduction, I don’t expect Zhang Hanqing to answer. Xiao Fengxian sighed softly and said: "To be appreciated by General Cai and praised by Mr. Jiang, I am afraid that there is no other young hero in the Republic of China. His spirit of 'the brave will win when meeting on a narrow road' is unparalleled among the young heroes of the Republic of China. Then Even though tens of thousands of people have conquered this kind of spirit, it can only be compared to Wang Jingwei who said he could achieve success with his sword and live up to his youth."
It is not rude to call Wang Jingwei directly. Lao Wang's real name is Wang Zhaoming, his courtesy name is Jixin, and Jingwei is his pen name. This young hero is recognized as a handsome man. In the early Republic of China, he was the idol of thousands of girls: firstly, he was really handsome, and secondly, he had the feat of assassinating the Qing regent Zaifeng. Xiao Fengxian compared Zhang Hanqing to Wang Jingwei, which actually promoted him now.
"But Zhang Hanqing doesn't appreciate it: no matter what, he can't be ranked with the big traitor. Although it doesn't happen now, it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. Moreover, this soft disease in the bones is innate and cannot lie to others.
He chuckled and said, "What's the good thing about being a hero? You're famous for your glory, but you're so miserable for others. Wrapped in horse leather, how can it be like the scenery of a gentle country?"
Xiao Fengxian smiled and scolded: "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? How can you be a hero when you are so lazy?" She murmured softly: "Is Wenwen Township very beautiful? Xiao Fengxian has never thought of it. If I have the chance, I would rather leave this filthy place of debauchery and debauchery. Even if it’s a coarse hairpin skirt and a humble room with small eaves, I would love to know my loved one until we grow old together.”
Zhang Hanqing is very sober: The person opposite is Xiao Fengxian, who is destined to make a big news that will shock history! But she didn't know that her destined rumored hero was right in front of her! He wanted to tease her, so he turned to Xiao Fengxian and said with a smile: "What kind of person are you looking for?"
"The person I like must be a hero in this world!" She looked at Cai E and said, "Although Xiao Fengxian has fallen into the world, she still wants to be a heroine like Liang Hongyu."
Zhang Hanqing chuckled, pointed at Cai E and said, "Well, this Uncle Cai is a hero of the world, and he is worthy of your little fairy." He smiled narrowly: "The person you like will definitely be wearing a colorful robe. Tengyunjia ???Coming to greet you. "
Red Peony refused, so she pulled Zhang Hanqing and said coquettishly: "Then when will the person I love become a great hero?"
Zhang Hanqing suddenly burst out laughing unreasonably.
Red Peony and Xiao Fengxian looked sideways, and General Cai was also confused by his smile: Is this sentence so funny?
Zhang Hanqing looked at the three of them and said slowly: "I just made a poem. The scenery and the colors are really in tune. It makes me laugh just thinking about it."
Hong Mudan suddenly refused to comply. She said angrily: "I just said something from my heart. Is it worthy of your ridicule? Sister Fengxian can have a heroic lover, why can't I have one? They don't comply anymore."
Zhang Hanqing pointed to his nose and said solemnly: "Actually, I am the great hero."
Cai E couldn't help but laugh, and Xiao Fengxian and Hong Peony also laughed sweetly, as if Zhang Hanqing had told a very funny joke. Xiao Fengxian laughed and gasped: "A true hero is not afraid of danger in the midst of thousands of troops, dares to face the dripping blood, can support the building in a moment, and bring peace to future generations. What ability and ability do you have at such a young age? With great merit, you dare to call yourself a hero? Oh, I get it, you are so lustful and like a hero!"
Zhang Hanqing's expression remained unchanged as he said slowly: "Xiao Fengxian is indeed well-deserved, and she is very popular with me. Whether I am a hero or not, there are poems to prove it." He shook his head and sang loudly: "
Since ancient times, heroes have been lustful, but not all heroes are lustful;
"Although I am not a heroic man, I am only lustful and like a hero." "(The old Zhang Xueliang: despises the young self in front of him)
"Little Phoenix Fairy and Red Peony burst into laughter instantly. But someone next door heard a "ha" sound, which was immediately covered up by a "huh" sound. Zhang Hanqing and Cai E quickly exchanged glances. Apparently, someone was listening carefully and deeply next door.
Although their eye contact was quick, Xiao Fengxian noticed it. Cai E laughed at the scene and said: "In terms of lust, Han Qing is indeed a hero." Only Red Peony almost stopped laughing, and pointed at Zhang Hanqing and said: "What's the word 'Hero without heart', you are just a lustful person." He’s just a coward with no color and courage!” (Remember this website’s website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 85 Gentle Township

Everything is spring.
This round of teasing and teasing has narrowed the distance between everyone, and also brought the distance between Hong Mudan and Zhang Hanqing back to the original closeness.
Xiao Fengxian's mood suddenly brightened, and a strange feeling came to her heart. Even she herself didn't know why she was smiling so freely. Since when had he not laughed so heartily? Was it ever since your biological father died and you were abused by your eldest mother because she was a side wife? Or since the day my mother died of illness? And how did you start singing with Boss Hu under the stage name Xiao Fengxian? Or did it start when it was "transferred" to Jiyun Ban by its owner Zeng Mengpu?
??Every time when a dignitary or dignitary is welcomed or sent to, it’s all done with the face of someone else, and spending money is the boss’s face. No one ever takes themselves seriously. No one has ever said such words to them, just to make fun of themselves, or to lower the mentality of clients to the level of prostitutes, and even speak naturally to themselves.
Yes, naturally. The big boy in front of you has the ability to make people unguarded, allowing you to say whatever you think of and laugh naturally when you want to. Make people feel respected.
respect!
Yes, respect.
Zhang Hanqing is a standard modern person at heart and has received a complete and complete modern education. For women, he has always treated them with complete respect. Even if the other person is a prostitute, he still feels that he must respect the other person's personality. After all, there are high and low professions, high and low in life, but personalities are equal. I have never thought of being superior to others, even if I am a young general in Fengtian and a future young marshal. Of course, there are occasional dreams of enjoying the blessings of others, but this has nothing to do with respect, it is entirely a man's nature.
But what Xiao Fengxian felt was extraordinary.
Although the young man in front of her sometimes showed cunning and humor that was inappropriate for his age, judging from her eyes, he was definitely a kind-hearted person. (Zhang Hanqing: I have always been good, right?) Although he is not a hero at his age, and he does not have the habit of old cows eating young grass, but I don’t know that he is regarded as a friend, that middle-aged man who came with him Definitely not bad. And based on my feeling, that person is by no means an ordinary person. His unusually handsome appearance and his calm demeanor kept telling me that this man was extraordinary, even though he had always been taciturn.
Xiao Fengxian believed in her own vision.
Zhang Hanqing didn't take it seriously at Red Peony's delicate sarcasm. While carefully touching her waist, he said proudly: "It's not that I'm timid, it's my respect for beauty. You don't know who I am. It’s pity for the fragrance and cherish the jade.”
?? Red Peony chuckled and said, "I'm so sorry for you. My waist is so itchy when you touch it. Can you stop moving your hands? Why are you so anxious?"
Zhang Hanqing’s old face (and heart) turned red. He obviously has the mentality of an adult but the body of a young man. He can’t stand this day! A young boy is most afraid of being accused of being careless, especially in front of a beautiful woman. It's ridiculous that I just gained a reputation as a "rising star in the military" some time ago, and the "sword-dazzling spirit" has also spread to Beijing, but now I show my sword in a brothel. How will General Cai think of me? Men are most ashamed of this.
Seeing this, Red Peony became even more presumptuous. She is the type that makes people go crazy. If you are weak, she will be strong. Zhang Hanqing's restraint made her feel more amused. She felt that it was not a man who prostituted a woman, but a pleasure of being prostituted by a woman. She stroked Zhang Hanqing's face and said with a giggle: "Oh, you are so shy. I like shy men best."
Zhang Hanqing got excited, and he remembered a famous wine table pornographic joke before time travel. He smiled and said: "Of course, when it comes to shyness, women are actually far bolder than men. When a bathhouse in Beijing caught fire, the women covered their lower bodies and ran naked. An old man on the roadside said: 'Don't panic, what are you doing there? Just cover your face, who knows who! So there was a scene on the street of women covering their faces, ignoring the white flesh, which made it impossible for men to dodge."
Everyone laughed, and Xiao Fengxian was also happy: "You don't learn well at a young age. Where did you make up this dirty joke? You can make up random people!"
Zhang Hanqing said: "What's the arrangement? I'm teaching you the wisdom of life. You will do the same thing if you go to the bathhouse and there is a fire." Thinking about it, he laughed and said: "But I will definitely take my clothes and wait nearby. I won’t let my red peony run naked on the street.”
Red Peony laughed and hit him and said, "I'm afraid that even if you can see clearly, you still have the wisdom of life. You can keep this wisdom of life for yourself."
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "Why not? I'm just discussing the matter. It's your own misunderstanding. If you don't believe it, I will give you a question to try."
I don’t know what happened, but theyNowadays, I am very relaxed, and my literary thoughts are flowing like a fountain. Some of the dirty jokes I usually see and hear finally come into use. It's not like a normal date or party where you always talk about useless things.
"Still on the topic of naked women. Ask a man which part of a beautiful naked woman will become bigger?"
General Cai was drinking tea. When he heard this, he couldn't hold in his breath and vomited it on the ground beside him. He was stunned by Zhang Hanqing's blunt words - where has this "implicit beauty" gone? You can't be too vulgar when visiting a brothel, right? Red Peony lowered her head and slowly peeled a pear with a half-smile, and her ears were red and extremely moist; but Little Phoenix Fairy spat, laughing and scolding: "It's a bad idea."
Zhang Hanqing said proudly: "What a shame! It's obvious that you have wrong ideas, but you blame me instead. I know you must have wrong ideas. You are old and think about those things all day long. We are not simple-minded. You will think too much! The answer is the pupils! When a man sees a beautiful woman, his pupils will become larger, so there is a saying that his eyes light up!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, everyone knew what they were here for, but after all, you can't speak so directly, you still need to save face, and subtlety is the beauty.
This Han Qing is still so speechless that he will never stop talking! Looking at it, he still wanted to know more, and asked another question: "What is something on a woman that closes when she stands up and opens when she squats down?"
??Everyone guessed again and again, but no one could guess the key point. Zhang Hanqing still answered the question: "Guess below."
This time, several people thought wrong again. Although they all knew that the answer they thought was not the real "answer", this time everyone shyly waited for Zhang Hanqing to explain the mystery.
Zhang Hanqing stopped hiding it and said proudly: "It's a skirt, hahaha."
Cai E thought that he would be embarrassed by his "nephew"'s increasingly showy behavior. He quickly stopped Zhang Hanqing's debauchery.
Here, Zhang Hanqing and Hong Mudan talked about some non-vegetarian topics and made jokes by the way, while over there, General Cai and Xiao Fengxian were having a great time chatting. They seemed to have been destined to do so in their previous lives. They soon ignored Zhang Hanqing's feelings and started chatting privately as if no one else was around. This made Zhang Hanqing both happy and funny. It also reminded Zhang Hanqing of a classic line from Stephen Chow's movie: "Adulterer**! Adulterer**!"

Chapter 86 Tomb of Heroes

Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes.
Although I don’t know General Cai’s last name, and although General Cai only wears ordinary clothes, Xiao Fengxian still feels a natural sense of closeness to him. She looked at Cai E and felt that he was as kind and considerate as a big brother, and his expression was reserved like a great husband. It had been a long time since she had met such a sweet person who could understand both cold and hot, and her heart was filled with ripples. She confided her life experience to Cai E with all her heart and soul, and asked Cai E to treat him sincerely. She asked Cai E: "Do you believe me? Do you like me telling you this?"
"Perhaps he was moved by Xiao Fengxian's voice from the bottom of his heart. It is rare for General Cai to become short-tempered as a hero and grow in love with his children. He looked at Little Fengxian quietly and said softly: "If Miss Fengxian likes it, I am willing to be the one with the ears."
Xiao Fengxian shook her head: "I don't just want to have ears, I want someone who listens with heart."
General Cai has never experienced such a battle. He is a sweetheart and has a good impression of this little fairy. Out of respect for this strange woman with her own connotation, she immediately said: "Girl, please speak, I am all ears."
Perhaps because they met so late, General Cai’s relationship with Xiao Fengxian soon reached another level. General Cai has never said that these heroes are short-tempered and have long-lasting love for their children. New attempts bring new feelings.
Regarding the issue of length of time, Einstein has a famous theory of relativity: “The same hour feels so short to a lover in love, but time is so long when facing a creditor collecting debts.
An hour passed quickly. Cai E was a little distraught. He was so impressed by Xiao Fengxian - not just because of her beauty, but also by her understanding of others. Xiao Zhang Sixth Master was still unsatisfied because of the impression that Red Peony left on him. He is considerate, and he also wants to be considerate of others. He still has a few spots of the girl's lipstick on his neck. The thin water mark lingers on the skin, which is a bit cool in the early winter weather.
During this period, the madam came in and out several times. Cai and Zhang, no matter how old they were, still had this look in their eyes. If they didn't leave, it would be a bit annoying. The business of a brothel is very meticulous. After a few visits and you become a regular customer, as long as you see the right girl, you can still do whatever you want.
Zhang Hanqing also had the intention to stay, which is not impossible, but at his young age and because of the uncle's presence, he was worried that he would be ridiculed by Cai E? I'm too embarrassed to mention this first—I guess General Cai also empathizes. Alas, people say that one of the signs of being close friends is that they went to prostitutes together. Without a deep friendship, some things really can't be accomplished.
Just like a popular joke in the office, it is said that all employees in a certain office are voluntary to work overtime, and no matter the leader or employee, everyone is very proactive. For this reason, they have also won the honorary title of "Advanced Collective". Someone was doing research in private, and the supervisor complained: "It's not that I don't want to leave on time, my subordinates are watching. Do you think, if I am a supervisor and always walk in front of the employees, will they secretly criticize me?" Employees also complained: "The leader hasn't left yet, how can any of us subordinates have the nerve to leave first?" Just like this, you look at me, I look at you, no one can leave. So you know why leaders, no matter how junior they are, are generally unwilling to stay in the same office as their employees, right?
Rather than leaving passively, it is better to wave your sleeves and not take away a piece of peony.
So when Red Peony offered to drink more wine to warm up his body, Zhang Hanqing wanted to refuse and drank another wine, but the madam's unbearable invisible murderous aura made him feel uncomfortable all over - kind of The discomfort of being spied on naked. Then he laughed and said, "I have a problem. I hit people when I drink. I vomit when I'm drunk. I make a mess when I vomit. Then my sister will be affected."
Red Peony cuddled up against his chest, her eyes full of smiles: "You are so young, do you still know how to show love and cherish jade?"
Zhang Hanqing laughed loudly and said: "Although I am not talented, I also know that women are made of water and must be coaxed and loved. Although I dare not say that I cherish women, but for the new 'Three Obediences and Four Virtues', it is truly a revelation." Practical from the heart.”
Hong Mudan curled her lips and said: "I just said that I should be compassionate to women, and now I have three obediences and four virtues. In my heart, men think that we women are contemptible. You are also infected with those bad habits at a young age. Why do you want three wives and four concubines to be satisfied?"
Zhang Hanqing waved his hand and said loudly and seriously: "I said it is the new 'Three Obediences and Four Virtues', which is not the same thing as the 'Three Obediences and Four Virtues' as you understand it. Just listen to me read it."
"The three obediences are 'Follow your wife when she goes out, obey your wife's orders, and blindly obey when your wife makes a mistake'; the four virtues are 'wait for your wife to put on makeup, be willing to spend money, tolerate your wife's anger, and remember your wife's birthday'. "
Hong Mudan smiled so hard that she couldn't help but say, "I can't compare to your clever mouth, how good it is at coaxing women."If a woman marries you, will she die happily? Even my sister wants to follow you. Come, have a glass of wine to warm yourself up, and let me pamper you. "
Zhang Hanqing sighed deliberately and said: "Women are indeed duplicitous. They say they want to have sex with me, but they want to get me drunk. Come on, 'I once whipped a famous horse drunk, for fear that love would be too much for a beautiful woman.' (Yu Dafu: I strongly despise you. ). Sister, if you are lucky, let’s make an appointment next time.”
This time it was Red Peony’s turn to be surprised. Even our General Cai was surprised by this nephew’s literary talent.
Hong Mudan chuckled, and she pulled Zhang Hanqing's sleeve as he was about to leave, "We've been talking for a long time, and you still don't know the name of our poet?"
Zhang Hanqing shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't need to introduce him. This Uncle Cai is a famous person in the world." We met by chance. I wonder if there will be a chance to "patronize" again in the future. There is no good in ruining the reputation. This is not a place for awarding awards. , but a brothel.
Xiao Fengxian, who was saying goodbye to Cai E, suddenly said: "It's rare for Mr. to come to Yunji Ban. It's really a blessing for Xiao Fengxian to be able to chat with him. If you don't give up, please leave the calligraphy treasure for Xiao Fengxian." See things and think about emotions.”
Cai E said humbly: "Cai is just a commoner. The girl is extremely proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. How dare you do whatever you want to do?"
?? Xiao Fengxian said firmly: "Xiao Fengxian believes in her own vision. Mr. Cai will definitely become an earth-shattering big shot. Is it because I dislike my humble background and do not fall into Mr. Cai's eyes? Such a little Fengxian dare not force it."
Cai E was so excited that he didn't want to do anything to disgrace the scenery. He nodded and said, "Girl, what are you talking about? Since ancient times, there have been many beauties, and chivalrous girls have always been famous. In my heart, how can a girl be compared to ordinary girls in the entertainment scene?" ? But the ugly calligraphy is hard to win over, so please don’t laugh at it."
" This kind of elegant thing has been rehearsed in the brothel for a long time, and soon there will be a companion to fetch the four treasures.
General Cai wrote with a single stroke of his pen, "If you don't believe that beauties will eventually die, chivalrous women have been involved in prostitution in ancient times. There are so few in this place, but their people are like pearls of fairy dew." The name of Xiaofengxian is cleverly embedded in it, taking into account the Our General Cai is not good at literary talent, but his quick wit is commendable.
This couplet fits Xiao Fengxian’s identity and character, and also reveals Cai E’s mood and feelings. He compared Xiao Fengxian to a chivalrous woman, and he had already stereotyped her in his heart, framing her as not just a child and daughter, but also closely related to the great cause of the revolution.
"Xiao Fengxian felt like she had found a treasure, so she read the couplet several times.
Cai E then solemnly wrote the sentence "Feng Fairy Shi Canzheng" above the couplet with satisfaction, and said with a stroke of pen: "It's funny."
Is that the end? Xiao Fengxian was startled. Cai E hadn't signed it yet. She said with slight dissatisfaction: "Mr. Cai, although you and I are very different in rank, why do we need to remain anonymous?"
Cai E scratched his head slightly, so he had to pick up his pen and write the word "Songpo" again. Songpo was his character. His surname was Cai and his given name was Songpo. Xiao Fengxian immediately confirmed that the person in front of him was the famous General Cai E.
Xiao Fengxian was very moved. She lived twenty years in vain, and finally found a man who valued her not for her beauty, but for her chivalrous demeanor; this man cared about her and did not look down upon her because of her humble status. From this couplet embedded with the name of Fengxian, we can easily see that the image of the little Fengxian who came from the Bada Hutong and her chivalrous heroine played an important role in Cai E's heart.
Xiao Fengxian decided that from today on, she would entrust herself to Cai E. On the spot, Xiao Fengxian bit her tongue open and dripped blood on the couplet to show her loyalty to Cai E.
Red Peony’s eyes were sore, and she cried with joy because her good sister Xiao Fengxian had found the one in her heart.
Zhang Hanqing's eyes were also sore. He was sad for the short-lived love story between the two that will be remembered forever. "You guessed the person right, but you can't guess the ending." He thought. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Since meeting Xiao Fengxian that time, General Cai suddenly felt that although this woman had fallen into the dust, she still spoke well and could be a confidant to deal with a group of "colleagues" in Beijing.
Of course, perhaps in order to prevent Zhang Hanqing, the "nephew" from misunderstanding that he was trapped by sex, as a witness, perhaps in order to increase his "combat friendship" with Zhang Hanqing, Cai went to visit Yunjiban again the next evening. The general still took Zhang Hanqing with him.
Of course, when the two of them enter the drama, each performs his or her own duties. General Cai was received by Xiao Fengxian, and Zhang Hanqing had his own candidate. It's hard to explain the beauty of flirting with Red Peony. In Beijing, if you want to commit suicide with old Yuan Xu to make your ambition clear, Red Peony is the perfect candidate. She is pretty, has a hot figure, and knows how to flatter people. Yesterday, she pestered Zhang Hanqing so much that she couldn't help but show her true colors.
The two hit it off instantly.
When we meet again, there will naturally be indescribable kindness. Xiao Fengxian has secretly promised General Cai, and naturally the conversation becomes more intense; Red Peony is Xiao Fengxian's good friend, and Xiao Fengxian naturally doesn't want him to be left out, so it is natural for her good sister to take advantage of it. And when she knew that Mr. Cai was General Cai, the "ambitious" young man next to her was naturally Mr. Zhang Xiaoliu, who was widely rumored in Beijing. It would be a waste of time for Red Peony to serve this man.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????… To stay out, not only must you be a regular guest, but you also need a sum of money. Of course, the Madam will still send people to follow.
However, Xiaofengxian and Hongmudan are both the pillars of Jiyun class, and their treatment is quite different from that of ordinary prostitutes. Not only is the room clear and tidy, but it is also beautifully decorated. As for the two people who can take a fancy, the treatment is also pretty good. All kinds of delicious food and drinks are welcome - this is for Zhang Hanqing - he doesn't drink or smoke, he just likes to eat snacks with the girl; our General Cai also went to Xiao Fengxian's room next door to chat The private conversation was left, giving Zhang Hanqing more room to express himself.
The two of them are also familiar with each other. Red Peony sat on Zhang Hanqing's lap and peeled chestnuts for him to eat, while Zhang Hanqing dishonestly held her waist with one arm and patrolled her body with the other. Occasionally, if it goes too far, Hong Mudan will give him a look and forcefully stuff things for him to eat. If he corrects himself, of course it will be gentle and drizzle, like a spring breeze, which makes Zhang Hanqing enjoy it very much. The two of them were chatting here and there, but their movements were getting bigger and bigger.
No wonder there is an old saying, "A wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a thief, and a thief is worse than a prostitute." It really makes sense.
With the beauty in his arms, Zhang Hanqing is not Liu Xiahui. He could not help but react to Red Peony's half-nudging flirtation. He is young and has "years" of experience, so he knows what it's like. Before he traveled through time, he had experienced all serious matters between men and women, how could it be like Hong Mudan who was a master of sex and flirted with many tricks? Hong Mudan was not the first sister, so she naturally sensed his changes, and just giggled, grinding and twisting on him, which added to the pleasure.
For Zhang Hanqing, Red Peony has been really attracted to her since yesterday. This boy had an extraordinary conversation and it was clear at first glance that he was well-educated, but he did not have the arrogant air that those playboys often have. The word "boy" is used instead of man. It is Zhang Hanqing's youth that betrays his fake face of pretending to be honest. The brothel is the filthiest and most hypocritical landlord in the world. The precocious woman has already experienced many vicissitudes and gained insight into human nature in this live drama. If Zhang Hanqing had read all kinds of women, his concentration should not be so bad. There is only one explanation. This child is actually still a baby, but he hides it very well.
Speaking of hiding, she remembered the laughter next door yesterday, and the scene where she inadvertently saw someone glancing towards her earlier. With her wisdom, she guessed that someone was watching. Thinking about how this big boy could still speak calmly in this situation without caring about those people, how could this level of concentration be achieved by a child?
Later, I heard that Zhang Hanqing was the son of the legendary General Fengtian in the capital, and I became even more interested in his experience. Women are naturally gossips, and her curiosity about Zhang Hanqing brought out her potential to get to the bottom of things. Later, her sister's talkative benefactor finally found out the whole story, and Zhang Hanqing's identity as a proton came to light, which made her even more fond of Zhang Hanqing.
In her opinion, the fact that young Zhang Hanqing was praised by both Cai and Jiang was an affirmation of his talent. Later, Commander-in-Chief Zhu's promotion and the fact that Han Linchun and others, who were able to gain a certain status in the military circles, resolutely switched to his father's service, further illustrate the problem. Moreover, this kid used his sharp tongue to convince Liang Shiyi and Xiong Xiling, who were both well-known in the government, to agree to go to the barren Northeast to make some "investments" - this was obviously a waste of money. But how could "industrial tycoon" Mr. Zhou Xuexi be fooled? This is really a big boy that is hard to figure out.
She doesn’t blame Zhang Hanqing for not being calm about women——With her beauty, no one would be able to calm down. She was also secretly proud of herself for winning the lustful heart of this big boy. And although Zhang Hanqing also used hands and feet with sophisticated techniques, she clearly felt that this boy was very serious.
Yes, serious. This is a contradictory statement. If you say it yourself, others will laugh out loud. A young veteran of flowers, he touched almost every part of his body to the point where he felt embarrassed, but he was considered a serious person by himself. Isn’t it a joke!
But she still thinks so.
This boy has good concentration - his body's reaction is common to normal people, especially young people, and that's okay. But it was rare for him to be able to hold back his excitement and not do anything other than touch—or in other words, he didn't do anything inappropriate without asking for his consent.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I am afraid that I would not have such a moment of enjoyment. I would have been coerced into doing things alone, how could I still enjoy the joy of being flirted with? She forgot her identity with him, and that this was a place for men to have fun. She only felt that she was being embraced by her lover. She cherished this warm moment extremely, and she was making up for the time she had lost. She peeled off chestnuts one after another with her delicate hands, enjoying the atmosphere of love like feeding her lover.
Zhang Hanqing can’t stand it anymore. Isn’t it over yet? ! I had been cumming for a long time, and I had done everything I could. The woman in my arms had probably been aroused for a long time, but she was just intoxicated and refused to give up. Why exactly? Is it not allowed by the rules? Lao Cai said that after the "tea round", there is still more to do, and he doesn't know if it can be done in this brothel, but don't get caught naked in the middle of the excitement. Anyway, for the sake of safety, unless the woman is willing, no matter in the past life or this life, in this matter, I will never force a woman with my body. Not even a beautiful prostitute, he secretly made up his mind. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 88 Frankness

Hong Mudan is also strange. This Hanqing is said to be a young boy and cannot withstand the temptation of men and women. I have decided to be a good person, and he will be my life-long support. Of course, I must make it my duty to please the other person. Now he thought, of course he must obey, not only that, but also take good care of him. He is a little man with a big temper and a strong spirit. I hope he will remember his own goodness after he feels comfortable, so that the rest of his life will be smooth sailing.
But I have already given a lot of hints——In fact, there is no need to hint. Do you need to say what you are doing in this place? Nothing will go wrong, right? But he doesn't look like it.
Because a man’s body has betrayed him ruthlessly. As the two became closer and closer, Xiao Hanqing swelled even more, and you could feel its ferocity through the cotton-padded clothes. It's hard to imagine that a man with such capital would have any problems in this matter.
"Xiao Fengxian has found her beloved and has someone to rely on for her lower body. What should I do? Over the years, he was the only one who caught my fancy. Seeing how fond this boy was of her, if possible, he would have the chance to redeem her, right? He is the son of General Fengtian, guess there is a way to do it, right? I had a bad background before, but I couldn't give him this feeling again. Therefore, unless he takes action first, he must not be underestimated.
It was getting dark, both of them were short of the final breakthrough, and both were tired. A faint sound from next door broke the intoxication of two business partners who shared a "bed" with different dreams.
The sound insulation effect is not very good. Maybe this is the original intention of a brothel. Maybe listening to the corner is more exciting? While lost, Zhang Hanqing seemed to hear General Cai's breathing and Xiao Fengxian's murmur. It was such a thrilling feeling! What am I doing? Where is this place? Brother has paid for it, so of course he has to do what needs to be done!
"You are willing to fight or suffer, but when you come to this place, you can no longer hold on." This kind of thing is not forced on women, they just make a career out of it, right? From another perspective, this is a good deed - if you give money, there is no need to force it, right? In that case, what am I waiting for? ! However, his good "quality" means that he will not do anything that would spoil the scenery, so striking while the iron is hot is enough. He gently stopped the chestnuts handed over by Red Peony - he had already eaten enough, and people who didn't understand thought he was relying on this to increase his prowess.
Hong Mudan also heard the noise next door. Of course she knew what it meant as she was experienced in the battlefield. She had already recovered psychologically and could no longer bear the humiliation. She blushed, but it did not affect her listening - General Cai was so powerful! After Zhang Hanqing stopped her feeding, she still couldn't wake up from the change in Zhang Hanqing's eyes. She picked up a pear absentmindedly and said, "Let me peel a pear for you. Pears are rich in water and can also clear away the heat."
She said it softly. Under the lamp, her face looked like a pear, and her skin could squeeze out water. Zhang Hanqing couldn't bear it any longer. He picked up Hong Mudan's shoulders, put his mouth to Hong Mudan's cheek, and said with a shy smile: "Women are made of water. I want you to clear the fire for me."
The chair fell over, the pears rolled to the ground, and the people fell over with them.
The red peony was already crispy, and her fair face was flushed. She remained motionless and allowed Zhang Hanqing to hold her to the couch, letting him peel off her clothes one by one: jacket, shirt, skirt, underwear. The objects until they were peeled off and lay on their sides as white as green onions. She suddenly felt ashamed, which is the shyness a woman feels from the bottom of her heart when facing the person she likes. She wanted to struggle, but she was afraid that Zhang Hanqing would be displeased; she wanted to hide, but she had nowhere to hide except facing that face; she wanted to turn over to avoid Zhang Hanqing's madness, but a big hand had already pressed her vitals, and she had already Nothing can be done.
It has been several months since he came to this world, and he finally has a chance to indulge. Zhang Hanqing is very happy. In this world, we finally don’t have to worry about the police coming to check our rooms. We can enjoy ourselves and relax as much as we want. Zhang Hanqing quickly unbuttoned his clothes. The speed with which he took off his clothes was a model of military style. After disarming, he found that he could no longer straighten his back. In the rush, I couldn't take off my pants.
Red Peony smiles "Puff", she is really a lecherous devil, but this is the demeanor that young people should have.
Zhang Hanqing held on to his anger and retracted his eating hand. Thanks to the skillful cooperation, he finally succeeded in taking off his clothes, revealing his impressive talent. Red Peony is well-informed and believes that Zhang Hanqing is definitely at the forefront among the people she has experienced. But what surprised her was that Zhang Hanqing was clearly on the bowstring, but he suddenly fell into trance like Liu Xiahui, and even the evil fire retreated a lot. He beat the drum like this without rushing forward, which made Red Peony wonder if there was something wrong with the treasure he had just spotted!
No matter what, she would know that Zhang Hanqing's psychology fluctuated in an instant.
?Instinctively, Zhang Hanqing turned to X|A big boy who has no experience in human affairs, he should be immersed in happiness and not care about anything else, right? How can a young boy know how to feel hot and cold? When she thought of this, her tenderness doubled. She put her arms around Zhang Hanqing's back, pulled him to her, hugged him tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Be gentle, sister can't bear it!"
Ru Lun's sound, Zhang Hanqing couldn't stand the sound of this yield, and increased the excitement. Red Peony frowned and endured the pressure of the burning and itching, and just whispered in Zhang Hanqing's ear: "Little enemy, please be gentle, tonight is all yours, why are you so anxious!"
Is it okay to not be in a hurry? Otherwise, why would there be such a thing as a monkey in a hurry? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

The arrow is on the string, and a large part of it is a conditioned reflex. All this is beyond Zhang Hanqing's control.
He was like a winding pendulum that kept shaking back and forth. In his happiness, words that could be thought of from all over the world came to him in droves. Modern people have made this matter seem like a commonplace. Although it is open, it has lost its charm. The most vulgar thing is to regard things between men and women as piston motion. The image of piston motion is an image, but can humans be machines?
Delivery? The ancients were still at a high level and very expressive. I like the joy of fish and water. I go in and out as if entering a deserted land. Isn't it just that unrestrained fish? Isn't there a pool of water where it is?
In the haziness, he seemed to see Miss Zhu San’s closed lips, blurred eyes, tall and delicate body, and body that gave off a rich fragrance. Sometimes she and Red Peony were one, and sometimes she could very clearly roll her eyes and laugh at what he was doing. Humph, how much more advanced is the social butterfly than the red peony? At least the happiness now is something she can't give.
"Ahem, because he was close to General Cai, Zhu Qiqian probably got some news, and was even restrained from going to the Zhu Mansion. As a result, even Miss Zhu San began to treat him aloofly. Moreover, due to Zhu Qiqian's hard work in organizing the old Yuan Dengda ceremony, he has been called one of the "Four Evils of Yuan Ni" by the people, so he has to significantly reduce the number of visits to avoid suspicion.
The two are superimposed, so that the story that has just developed to a certain stage comes to an abrupt end, making me sentimental and resentful. What a pity, Miss Zhu San has delicate and fair skin.
With inexplicable annoyance, he violently attacked this body.
Those who are strong are easy to break. If a formula is used to calculate the affairs between men and women, to a large extent, the time and intensity of a man's action are inversely proportional; for a woman, her pleasure time is directly proportional to the man's action time. Whether it is correct or not, you can make up your own mind.
But Zhang Hanqing verified this rule. After quickly handing over the fifteen years of savings on this body, he lay down on the brocade to take a nap with satisfaction. Hong Mudan, with a flushed face, put her arm around Zhang Hanqing's waist weakly, feeling his aftermath. Since the city gate has been lost, it doesn't matter if he stays at the city gate for a while longer.
After being honest with each other, some things become much easier to say. Zhang Hanqing half-squinted his eyes in enjoyment while moving his hands around the woman's body at will. This woman is really unique. In such a long time, this is the first time that she has been so happy and complete, right?
Red Peony recovered quickly. She slapped Zhang Hanqing's increasingly dishonest hand and exhaled like a blue breath: "Is it fun?"
Zhang Hanqing responded without thinking while playing: "It's fun." Then he took a long breath: "It's so fun."
Red Peony smiled softly: "Okay, let me get up and get some water for you to wipe. It's sticky and uncomfortable."
Zhang Hanqing changed his hand and changed his partner: "This is quite comfortable."
Hong Mudan smiled and patted his waist: "It's my sister who feels a little uncomfortable."
Zhang Hanqing shook his head and said: "Don't worry, let's wipe it together later, otherwise won't it be more troublesome to wipe it again?"
Hong Mudan pushed him: "What are you waiting for? Your body is so heavy that my sister can't bear it anymore."
Zhang Hanqing smiled narrowly and said, "I tried so hard just now, but you didn't say I was heavy. Now that I'm not moving, I'm heavier again. What's the point? Otherwise, come up, I'm not afraid of you being heavy."
Red Peony pinched him in amusement: "Just looking at your appearance, you are as shy as a child, but what you do is that you should be a veteran of flowers. I really don't know where you learned bad things at such a young age? But? Sister, I can tell you, don’t play with things and lose your ambition!”
Zhang Hanqing naturally changed sides and continued his inspection: "Women are not playthings!" He said plausibly.
The gasping sound next door became louder and louder, and even Zhang Hanqing felt ashamed. Unexpectedly, General Cai is a gentle and gentle man. He usually has the demeanor of a Confucian general. In bed, he still retains his true qualities as a general. He is still as brave as he was back then! There's no mention of this guy's staying power. People say he's like a wolf when he's thirty. Why does it feel like he's not describing a woman, but him?
“But listening to the movement, Zhang Hanqing’s lower body has changed a little. Young people recover quickly, and because they haven’t practiced for a long time, the heat control was not very good the first time. This time I will definitely win the game!
Of course, Hong Mudan also felt his changes. She exclaimed: "Han Qing, you are going to die, come again!"
Zhang Hanqing smiled proudly and said: "I am the golden monkey, holding up the golden cudgel, and I will beat you, a white-bone demon, three times." He was already on the horse, so he couldn't talk about getting on the horse. He just whipped the horse and sprinted hard. This time he learned the lesson and started to have a steady stream of water.
?Red Peony never felt his violent collision again, but a more protracted battle began. Red Peony, who had been successfully picked up for the first time, let go of her hands and feet and began to greet her enthusiastically. The Ruyi Golden Cudgel is getting bigger and bigger, and my restraint on it is getting tighter and tighter. The two goblins were fighting, rising from the ground to the sky, and then sliding from the clouds to the Nine Netherworld.
Zhang Hanqing was moved and asked triumphantly: "Sister, do you like me?"
Red Peony experienced the happiness of being in the clouds and said in a trembling voice: "Sister loves you to death. If you don't come here in the future, what will my sister do?"
Zhang Hanqing smiled lewdly: "Then I will come every day."
Red Peony Spirit Tower suddenly woke up: "Sister, I gave it to you today, and I will be yours from now on. If you want to be with me for a long time, take me out of this dirty place, and let me follow you cleanly from now on."
Zhang Hanqing was impulsive and said without hesitation: "Okay, as long as you are willing, I will redeem you." This lovely person would definitely not be able to be husband and wife with her, and he would not be willing. But it would be nice to be an outhouse who can be on call anytime, but I have never experienced this kind of happiness. How are men so private? Although there may be some unclean past between her, but after following her, it is really uncomfortable to imagine being held by another man's arm and tasting her lips.
Hong Mudan knows about Zhang Hanqing’s family background. If he really redeems her life, she will naturally be willing to do so. She is afraid that Zhang Hanqing will just talk casually in joy. But he had no choice but to use all his strength to make him intoxicated. If you can remember her wonderful qualities, it is not impossible for your promise to come true.
So Zhang Hanqing seemed to have entered a new realm of experience. The woman's gentle movements made him feel dizzy, dazed, and unaware of why. He then worked harder to attack and explore the world without seeking anything else, and truly reached the state of having nothing outside his eyes and nothing outside his heart.
After fighting for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Hanqing let out a long breath and tremblingly poured out the remaining essence of life in his body into that soft place. Hong Mudan groaned deeply and responded obediently. After shaking her delicate body for a while, she accepted the request.
Both of them were sweating profusely.
Zhang Hanqing turned over on the bed with difficulty, gasping for air. On the contrary, the red peony calmed down quickly after experiencing the initial flush. She put on her clothes and got up, gently poured hot water and wiped Zhang Hanqing carefully. This action made Zhang Hanqing feel more happy than smoking a post-event cigarette - he had never smoked this kind of cigarette, but it was included in many literary works. The legend of smoke.

Cai E and Xiao Fengxian were lying on the bed listening to what was going on next door. From the first earthquake to the first silence, the two sides secretly competed in the experience at the same time. Of course, General Cai, who had spent half his life in the military, won the victory. While the horse next door has stopped grazing, the powerful horse here is still making its final dash. Xiao Fengxian whispered tastefully: "You are stronger than your nephew."
While fighting hard, General Cai said calmly: "Those who correct themselves are easy to break, how can they be better than those who are good at fighting but not martial like me." As an elder, face is very important; as a general who has experienced real battlefields, he cannot be beaten by a person. The younger generation surpasses.
When the trumpet for the second attack was blown from the opposite side, General Cai still said calmly: "The art of war says that one go all out, then it weakens again, and three times it is exhausted. A strong crossbow cannot last long." For him, who is proficient in the art of war, everything matters. Even if you can't explain a word of truth, the movement of life cannot escape from this law.
But the stamina next door made the two understand what it means to strike before the enemy and what it means to be a hero since ancient times. When the tug-of-war between offense and defense came from there, General Cai couldn't hold back his face. He didn't want to be left behind, so he mustered up the courage to start a second round of hard work.
The twisted melon is not sweet, this round of General Cai did not win. After being unable to compare with the divine help of his neighbor, he wisely chose guerrilla tactics and tried to win over others with his skills. But this clever tactic still didn't work. The breath was still not as long as the one next door, and the army was defeated without taking out a pack of cigarettes. Fortunately, at this time, the sound of two people stopping fighting came from the opposite side. Basically, the two sides were on the same starting line and entered the finish line at the same time, so General Cai would not be embarrassed by this.
Both sides stopped fighting together, and Hong Mudan also tidied up and got into bed. For the first time, Zhang Hanqing enjoyed the happiness of just working hard and not caring about the mess that followed, so he took great care of Red Peony.
Red Peony rested on Zhang Hanqing’s arm, letting Zhang Hanqing explore randomly. She asked him: "You said you wanted to redeem me, will your family not be able to accommodate me then?" Her identity was known to her family, and although she was the top prostitute in the capital, she was not from a good family, wasn't she? Her status is much lower than that of ordinary country girls. Basically, her fate as a concubine is certain, and it depends on whether she can win the favor of the head of the Zhang family.
I don’t know if Zhang Hanqing can make the decision regarding her matter, but at this moment, she can only take a gamble. Of course, Red Peony didn't think so either. Even if she is following Zhang Hanqing without any name or status, it is much better than here. After all, a beautiful woman will grow old easily. If she doesn't take the opportunity to grab a golden son-in-law, you can imagine the fate that awaits her when she is old and golden.
Just as Xiao Fengxian fell in love with Cai E at first sight, she also regarded Zhang Hanqing as a good match. Naturally, her experience was not comparable to that of Zhang Hanqing. She had long realized that although he was young, he was far from being comparable to those old Eight Banner nobles and dandies in Beijing. Although he is a little young, heroes have always been born in youth since ancient times. In just a few months, his "big" name has spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital. Even the land of fireworks where he lives has heard of his legend. As time goes by, who knows? Isn't it possible that he can become a dragon or a phoenix among men? Besides, his skills in bed are also excellent.
Zhang Hanqing naturally has a certain degree of confidence in what he has decided. His cheap dad Zhang Zuolin seems to have never cared about the things under his crotch. This red peony has a bad background, so of course he cannot be on the stage - he has no interest in bringing prostitutes to the stage - if he becomes the center of attention one day in the future (history has proven that he will be), he will How embarrassing would it be to face those "seniors" and "audiences"?
"Don't worry, dad can't take care of my affairs!" Zhang Hanqing said confidently. There is still the concept of future generations in his mind. How can the older generation interfere with his crotch? Besides, the shell he used is a dandy himself. He always wears trousers, leather shoes, and a beret, has a rebellious look in his eyes, and speaks loudly.
"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Saving Feng Chennv from water and fire is also a way to accumulate merit. Let's redeem her first." Although Fengtian is a little poorer, the expenses provided by his father are still quite sufficient. He still has part of his income, so money is probably not a problem. If Red Peony is willing to be with her in the future, that would be great. It’s getting cold in Beijing, and a woman is needed to warm the bed in lonely nights. This woman is good. Maybe after a while, Red Peony will have the idea of ??“changing jobs”, and that’s fine too. It's natural, the beauty of a gentleman.
He briefly mentioned the idea to Red Peony, and Red Peony relaxed a little. Seeing her like this, Zhang Hanqing patted her face and said: "A gentleman's words are hard to follow. What I, Zhang Hanqing, have said is true. You still think that I don't mean what I say." Red Peony said happily; "I am the one." I’m afraid that you don’t mean what you say. Sometimes men want to do the same thing, but they are unable to do it.”
Don’t want this?The battle for sublimation in life. In this fragrant night, every action adds to the scene.
Now Zhang Hanqing reigns over the world like a god. Below are his submissive people, waiting for his mercy and caress. He suddenly had a strange feeling. As the saying goes, if you don't sweep one house, why sweep the world? Conquering the world starts with this woman!
Walking back to where the grass is greener, singing in the dazzling starry sky. Muddy ground may be difficult to walk on, but it is good for farming.
When the long-lost sound of Mi Mi sounded again, General Cai helplessly pulled up the quilt with Xiao Fengxian to cover their ears. In the third round, Zhang Hanqing won completely. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 91 Troublemaking

It was dawn, and the door to Hong Peony’s long-lost room was opened.
"Little Fengxian was very curious. After experiencing the inhuman torture last night, Red Peony didn't know if she could still get up. However, what surprised her was that Hong Mudan was not as embarrassed as she had imagined, but instead looked good. Although the unnatural body movements could not hide the ridiculous fact of last night, the red light on his face made Xiao Fengxian wonder how the crying sound came from last night.
Cai E was also refreshed and waiting to see Zhang Hanqing's show. Hehe, scored three times, are you crazy? He didn't know how to control himself at such a young age, so after he complained of tiredness due to pain in his back, he would laugh at him again.
Unexpectedly, when Zhang Hanqing Shi Ran walked out of the room after washing, Cai E felt that his essence, energy, and spirit were completely different. He is no longer youthful, but has a vaguely mature demeanor.
Could it be that the love between men and women has such a charm, making men grow up in an instant and women beautifying their beauty? But it was not his turn to sigh. Zhang Hanqing greeted him with a smile but not a smile: "Good morning, Uncle Shi." After this moment of maturity, Cai E's familiar narrowness came: "Uncle Shi, it was very early last night. Just fell asleep, you are so energetic, did you sleep well?"
What's the meaning! Are you laughing at me? General Cai was a little helpless, but he had no choice but to lower his head under the eaves. Isn't it true that people have to die when comparing with others, goods have to be thrown away when comparing goods, and skills are not as good as others, so what should we do?
This is just a familiar joke between the two. After joking, it’s time to get down to business. Zhang Hanqing said to Cai E: "Uncle Shi, Xueliang thought about it last night and prepared to redeem himself for Red Peony. What do you think should be done?"
Xiao Fengxian was first happy for her friend who was in trouble. She was personally promised by Cai E to redeem her life, but she was feeling sad for Red Peony. Who knew that Red Peony would escape the prison first, so of course she was happy. The two pairs of people knew each other by chance and had a good impression of each other, so Cai E also showed his heroic side: "Very good, I also have the same intention." Then he directly called the madam, revealed his identity and expressed his feelings.
When he learned that the person standing in front of him was actually the famous Cai E, who had participated in the government of the Republic of China, General Zhaowei, deputy head of the Officer Model Corps, Supervisor of the Economic and Border Bureau, general clerk of the Generalissimo of the Army and Navy, etc. The series of impressive titles even surprised the madam. He even said that he was blinded by swallow pecks, but even General Cai couldn't see it, so he flattered him greatly.
With his status as Lao Cai, he certainly wouldn’t dare to be too threatening if he wanted to redeem a prostitute, but it was unavoidable to hold a grievance meeting in order to get a good price. "It's not easy to stay at home, I have worked hard and vomited blood, and raised the little fairy by myself for several years. It is the time when it is about to blossom and bear fruit. I have to work hard for whom and it will be sweet."
Who knows that although General Cai is a newbie in Hua Cong, he will not be trapped by love and forget about himself. He saw through the old madam's trick to exaggerate her status at a glance, so he didn't say much at the moment, letting her indulge in extravagance. When the chatter came to an end, he only said slowly: "In the Republic of China, there are laws, and prostitutes have prostitutes. If you want to be a good person, you should go back and forth. Others are not allowed to interfere. Of course, I won’t let you lose your capital even if you cheat. You can ask for the ransom as long as it’s not outrageous.”
Even though Xiaofengxian is not a first-rate person, the Madam still feels distressed: it is nice to give money in one time, but it is more cost-effective to sell eggs for laying chickens than for selling live chickens. However, given Lao Cai's status, he didn't dare to push too hard, so he reluctantly agreed.
But when it was Red Peony’s turn, the situation was different. This red peony is the pillar of Yunji Ban, and the madam will not agree to anything. And at least he has given Cai E some face. It is estimated that General Cai will not be easy to interfere. This Hanqing looks like he is just a young man from a rich family. He is probably just in love with Red Peony. How willing is he to force her to buy it?
She struggled in her heart and rejected Zhang Hanqing's kindness: "Young Master, Red Peony is the pillar of the small class. Your coming here is considered poaching, and Yun Jiban will no longer be able to survive. In this way, during this period I will keep the red peony for you alone. If you are willing, come every day. If you have had enough fun, I will find you a fresh one. If you two really like each other after a while, I will not dare to beat you. Yuanyang, of course you act according to the rules. What do you think?"
She begged Cai E pitifully: "Mr. Cai, please advise. Today our class has to walk two pillars in a row. This is really tearing my stage down. I have to look for some new outfits." Come. Put what I just said in front of you, and you can bear witness. If this young master brings this up again in a while, I will naturally not refuse."
Speaking of which, Lao Cai had nothing to say. The madam let Xiao Fengxian go because her "thin noodles" were not too thick. If she asked her to redeem the red peony again, it would be a bit of bullying. In addition, he also had some thoughts: Zhang Hanqing is a dragon and a phoenix among men. This little phoenix is ??beautiful, but she is not a good match. At most, she can be a concubine. Moreover, I am an unmarried concubine, and I don’t know that Brother Zhang Shi of Fengtian City isDo you have any comments? I guess I'm not very satisfied. This Han Qing's nephew was afraid that it would be the first time he met a girl, and he was so moved that he didn't care about anything else. If her family disagrees and she gets tired of it after a while, it will actually harm her. Although the words of the old bustard are just a delaying tactic, they are not unreasonable. How about slowing down first? He asked Zhang Hanqing with a questioning look.
Zhang Hanqing is so angry! Hehe, you ungrateful fellow, after you get the beauty, you don’t care about the feelings of your brother and nephew? What "I'll save this time for you first"? Could it be that if I don’t come and the red peony is empty, the madam will not do door-to-door business? Forget it before, now a man can't tolerate the possibility that the woman under him will be shared by other men. One key opens one lock, but if there are too many keys, they are worthless.
No matter how angry her madam was, no matter how many thugs with malicious intentions around her, Zhang Hanqing didn't think too much and said boldly: "I have fallen in love with Red Peony. She will be my woman from now on. Of course it is not appropriate to stay here." .Whether you agree or not, I will redeem her life today."
The old madam was angry. She pointed at a few big men in the brothel around her, put her hands on her hips and said, "Young Master wants to tear down Yun Jiban's stage. This will definitely not work!"
Zhang Hanqing didn’t even look at those big men. Hey, fighting with me? Are you afraid there are too many people? Is there any more effective way to defile oneself than to fight for favor in a brothel? If Lao Yuan knew what he was like in private, would he still pay too much attention to it as before? Will the people he sent to monitor him let him suffer? Does General Cai know it?
At this time, Xiao Fengxian and Red Peony were dumbfounded as they watched Zhang Hanqing perform alone. The humorous smiles they had before were replaced by fortitude and determination in an instant. At this time, Zhang Hanqing faced the great bustard in the eyes of the two women with a fearless spirit, and his heroic nature as a beauty was exposed in anger.
He didn’t even think about the trouble he had caused in the fight the night before. Redeeming Red Peony's life can be regarded as rescuing a beautiful woman from fire and water during time travel. As for jumping from one fire pit to another, it's a matter of opinion. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 92 Fire in the Backyard

The old bustard no longer gave General Cai any face, so he arranged for a few big men under his command: "Please get this young master out of here!"
The word "please" made these thugs feel much lighter when they struck. After all, he is led by Cai E, who is either rich or noble, and the madam doesn't want to cause more trouble. After all, doing business in a harmonious way makes money.
After all, Zhang Hanqing was still young and lacked strength. He was held up by the two men and ran away without leaving the ground, but he was unable to resist. Zhang Hanqing did not curse, but shouted at Cai E: "What are we doing here?"
One word wakes up the dreamer. Only then did Cai E remember that he was here to "defile himself". Now is a great opportunity. As long as he makes trouble in the brothel, he is not afraid that it will not be spread to Yuan Shikai's ears. I'm afraid Lao Yuan can no longer afford to be wary of such a "man among flowers," right? This is your chance to escape!
With a tiger's step, he pulled the person next to Zhang Hanqing, only a few inches away. The man staggered and threw Zhang Hanqing away, but he slipped. Zhang Hanqing was furious, got up, rushed over, and fought with the man.
Seeing a full-scale martial arts display, Zhang Hanqing's fifteen-year-old body was definitely suffering. Moreover, several other people from the opponent also surrounded him. General Cai threw away his coat and pulled out a short self-defense gun. He pulled the trigger and shouted: "Who dares to come up?!"
How dare the bow of flesh and blood resist steel? Knowing that the opponent was General Cai, the guy in his hand must be real, and he had no doubt that Cai E dared to fire a gun. After all, he was tested in blood and fire. Several big men were too frightened to move, and the man who was fighting with Zhang Hanqing also let go. Zhang Hanqing took the opportunity to take advantage, making the other party dare not speak out in anger.
The old bustard looked horrified. If he really wanted to offend General Cai, who was well-known and was said to be a popular figure around President Yuan, he would not even try to reason with him. What a world!
Under the power of General Cai, basically no one dared to take any action. Zhang Hanqing proudly directed Xiao Fengxian and Hong Mudan to simply pack their luggage, and put a cashier's check from HSBC worth five thousand in the hands of the madam: "If you are not convinced, you can sue me to the Beijing High Court. But today, the two girls It must be taken away.”
The income that Red Peony and Xiaofengxian bring to Yunjiban each year is more than 10,000 yuan, and they want to take them away for only 5,000 yuan. What is the difference between this and a robbery? The madam was so angry that she vomited blood and vowed to go to court even if she lost everything.
These are things for another time. Now the two girls Shi Shiran had no choice but to leave.
After leaving the tiger and wolf den, the two girls were surprised: "Why did the talk turn into an open robbery? And isn't the redemption price of five thousand yuan for two people a little small? You know, just the savings in the past few years, Both of them have tens of thousands of dollars." Of course, in front of the two benefactors, I would not dare to mention this matter of worth. Does it mean that having a high net worth can make men look down upon me? You should be happy to be able to save money for your man, right?
However, the two girls, who were well aware of the Madam's background, still gave Cai E and Zhang Hanqing advice: "Mom will definitely not give up. I'm afraid there will be some disadvantages to her, so I should be more careful."
This is natural, General Cai is thinking about this matter. If he were in Beijing, with his status and influence, the Madam would be helpless. Zhang Hanqing will not have any problems. Although he is not in his own territory, his status is noble. On the one hand, the other party is only interested in wealth and not life at most. Secondly, Lao Yuan will never tolerate any mistakes in this proton, not even a little bit. Besides, Zhang Hanqing still has a few capable guards around him. They have the temperament gained from years of licking blood from the edge of a knife. Lao Cai has a good vision.
How to settle Xiaofengxian and Hongmudan has become a problem. No matter how self-defiled, it’s not good to bring a prostitute home, right? My married wife is nice, but I can't tolerate this. While he was hesitating, Zhang Hanqing solved the problem neatly: he directly asked Liang Shiyi to purchase an abandoned house of a former Qing Dynasty minister, and built a lot of construction projects. He went around and threatened to build a luxurious house for Xiao Fengxian. Now that Little Phoenix Fairy has a place to live, Red Peony can naturally move in and live there. It’s the best of both worlds. In this way, the younger generation Zhang Hanqing paid for the placement of a mistress for "Uncle Shi" Cai E, which is sentimental and righteous!
The madam was unwilling to suffer the loss. She also had some background. The next day, a complaint was submitted to the Beijing Chengxi Elementary Court. The people in the court complained to General Zhaowei and did not dare to accept the case, so they quickly transferred it to the intermediate court. The madam said in the complaint: "General Zhaowei Cai E, also known as Songpo, and his accomplice Zhang Xueliang, also known as Hanqing, used force and weapons to forcibly take away the two girls from Yunjiban and settled for only 5,000 yuan. The two girls are worth more than 100,000 yuan, and Yun Jiban is willing to refund 5,000 yuan, as long as they can come back safely."
This piece of paper filled the streets and alleys of Beijing with rumors, and even some tabloids in Beijing did not hesitate to write about it.The old lady in the same family also neglected to take stock of the morning and dusk, and the married wife had been neglected for a long time. It was impossible not to despise her in her heart. When he reported this situation to Yuan Shikai, when Yuan Shikai heard that Cai's house was in a mess, he said disdainfully: "I know Cai E is a capable man who can participate in national affairs. Who knows that it is not appropriate to run a family!"
Anyway, Cai E’s reputation is ruined.
As for Zhang Hanqing's absurdity, Yuan Shikai rarely showed magnanimity: "That boy from outside the customs must be carefully restrained. How can he behave like this at such a young age? But this is also the origin of Zhang Zuolin's upbringing. Didn't his father also behave like this when he came to Beijing? ?” (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 93 Escape
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Of course, Cai E is his own general Zhaowei after all. Cai Zhai is so arrogant that everyone’s faces are not good-looking. As a leader, if I don't pay attention, I will fall into the inferior position. Moreover, although Cai E was "not discreet in his private affairs", he was still very influential. It was not a big deal in the politics of the Republic of China for a hero to be sad for a beauty, as long as he was devoted to himself. So he sent Wang Yitang and Zhu Qiqian to mediate and express condolences, and to see if it was really true.
Two cronies of the Yuan clan came to Mianmian Hutong. Liu Xiazhen was sitting next to the case and crying quietly. The old lady next to him said angrily: "You don't want the wife that the matchmaker is marrying, but you want to find the dirty fireworks woman. I Look at you, General Cai, who has been famous for a long time, but you were confused for a while! Xia Zhen has been with you for so many years, who doesn't say virtuous inside and outside? Now your wings are strong, your waist is thick, you dare to beat your wife, and you want to drive her away! If you kick me out too, everyone will be clean."
Cai E is a well-known filial son, and he spoke unhesitatingly at this time: "Mother, a woman has three obediences and four virtues. Her son and Xiao Fengxian are in love, but she can't tolerate it at all. This jealous woman doesn't want her son."
The old lady was very stubborn: "Xia Zhen is my daughter-in-law and the main wife of the Cai family. Unless I die, no one can change her. No matter whether you are in love or we have vowed to make each other, I will not let that fox charm come in." If she comes, Xia Zhen and I will both go back to Yunnan! Give her the position here."
Seeing General Cai being defeated, the two of them laughed secretly in their hearts. But on the surface, I still want to persuade: "Mother of the family, calm down, Songpo is just confused for a moment. He is famous for his filial piety. If you keep doing this, aren't you making it difficult for Songpo?" As a man, he is very considerate of men. He said: "We are just marrying a concubine. How can we talk about divorcing my wife? Sister-in-law, please don't get angry. Let's have a good talk as a family."
say what? Whether it was a fake show or a real one, or self-destruction, Cai E was really attracted to Xiao Fengxian, and the situation did not allow him to change in any way. At the end of the stalemate, the old lady spoke: "I won't make it difficult for you. Beijing is very humid in winter, and my old cold legs are acting up again. It's better to go back to Yunnan to recuperate my legs. You are a general of the government, and I also I don’t dare to ask you to accompany me in my old age, as long as Xia Zhen and the children accompany me as an old man. Out of sight, out of mind, after I leave, you can do whatever you like!"
The old man is very determined and has a lot of personality, and he is not prone to anger. While she arranged for people to go to the station to buy tickets, she packed her luggage with her daughter-in-law and grandchildren. General Cai knew his mother's character and knew that this move had stung her, but he thought that this way, he would have no worries in the future. Then he pretended to persuade.
Are you sincere? Is there anyone who knows your son better than your own mother? The old lady was still acting pretentious at first, but now she is really angry. As soon as Cai E changed his mind, he motioned to Wang Yitang and Zhu Qiqian and asked them to help persuade him.
The two people who originally wanted to watch the excitement had no choice but to pretend to come forward and say a few words of persuasion. But the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who had already made up their minds, never gave face to outsiders, and hired a car and left without saying a word.
It wasn't until Cai E also left the tiger's mouth and raised the anti-Yuan banner in Yunnan that ordinary people suddenly realized that this was a bitter trick used by their mother and son, their husband and wife, and Xiao Fengxian. The only difference was that General Cai E had the intention, and his wife and mother The reaction was unintentional. Because it is unintentional, it appears more real and can deceive all parties.
Cai E had no choice but to kneel down and send him off, and asked Wang Yi to transfer a large sum of money to Tang Dynasty to express his love for his son. In any case, his family has left Beijing safely, which relieves a lot of burden on his next move.
Wang Yitang and Zhu Qiqian explained everything to Yuan Shikai. Seeing that General Cai was trapped in the soft land and unable to extricate himself, Lao Yuan, who was originally very concerned about him, finally relaxed his guard against Cai E. Of course, in order to show his good will, Lao Yuan still managed to settle Yun Jiban's lawsuit - challenging General Zhaowei, who ranked first in the Republic of China. Is there really no royal method? As for how to do it, it is not enough for outsiders to explain. Anyway, as soon as Mrs. Cai left, Yunjiban withdrew his petition.
By November, Yuan Shikai's preparations for proclaiming himself emperor reached its peak. Cai E believes that it is time to act. In extraordinary times, one must be very cautious when doing extraordinary things. Fortunately, with Xiaofengxian as a cover, he could pretend to be drunk and dreaming at home.
Yuan Shikai was still a little worried about him. One day when General Cai and Xiao Fengxian went out to watch a theater, he took the opportunity to send people dressed as bandits to break into Cai E's house and rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find out the truth, but found nothing.
How could an ordinary robber so calmly enter the general's mansion, which is guarded by the equivalent of the modern Central Guard Corps, and steal something without taking anything valuable? Under Cai E's severe accusations, Yuan Shikai had no choice but to take several prisoners from the prison as scapegoats and shoot them before he could pass. From then on, he thoughtCai E really indulged in wine and sex, thus relaxing his surveillance.
At the beginning of autumn, Cai E's laryngitis broke out again, and he couldn't stop coughing. This was not an act. As a sign of concern, Yuan Shikai also sent a well-known doctor to see him. The conclusion was that he had a serious throat disease that required surgery, and Beijing lacked such conditions. With this certificate, Cai E naturally asked Yuan Shikai to go to Tianjin to recuperate. Because of this true proof, Yuan Shikai believed him, and of course he had to send people to follow him secretly. Compared with Beijing, Tianjin's monitoring of dissidents and military and political figures was not slack at all.
Before leaving, Cai E hugged Xiao Fengxian reluctantly. The smart little Phoenix Fairy had already sensed something from all kinds of clues. She couldn't control her thoughts and asked softly: "Songpo, will you never come back after leaving?"
With his confidant at his side, Cai E no longer concealed anything. He smiled and said, "How could it be? I just left Beijing and took a detour to Kunming. When Yuan Shikai is defeated, you and I will meet again."
Xiao Fengxian is a person who understands righteousness and is not pretentious. She said to Cai E word by word: "What you are doing is a big thing. As a woman, I cannot hold you back. Don't worry, I will do it for you." You keep silent until you escape. I have no other ability but to sing some songs to see you off."
She gently turned her red lips and sang gracefully. In case the walls have ears, her voice was much lower than usual and much suppressed. Because of this, his romantic style is even more graceful than usual, which makes people sigh.
"The song Li Ge opens a banquet, and the generals are farewell. You advocate righteousness and are determined to take risks. A glass of wine persuades you, and I hope you will have trouble swallowing. Don't think of it as a banquet. It is a great commemoration for the two of us." It's to the tune of "Willow Gold".
"Yan Wanqing, don't miss me anymore. I've reserved a ticket for the next life here for hundreds of years. Don't let a strand of love lead you to two places. If your plan fails, it will turn into a lotus on the ground and fulfill your previous wish." This is " The ending of "The Emperor's Flower".
"You must plan every possible way to wipe out the leader! If you can't push down Lao Yuan? Don't say that you are ashamed of your life. Even I am ashamed to meet you. If you want to meet me, you have to go to hell." This is "The Bachelor" The lyricism of "中" is an inspirational statement.
At the end of the song, Xiao Fengxian’s voice began to sob, and Cai E’s eyes flashed with tears. The tears of separation are the bitterness of separation, and there are even more idiotic children in the midst. Separation is the saddest thing. He hugged Xiao Fengxian, and the two of them were immersed in emotions.
For a long time, Cai E whispered in Xiao Fengxian's ear: "In Beijing, only Zhang Hanqing can be trusted, and I have entrusted you to Han Qing. From now on, big things will happen in Beijing. If Han Qing can leave, Beijing, you go north with him to the outside of the customs, which is also a safe place. If you have the opportunity, you can also come to Yunnan. Now, the only thing I have to do is stay in Beijing."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out
Cai E got on the bus and went to Tianjin, and Zhang Hanqing saw him off. Cai E took his hand and said, "Han Qing, I'll leave the affairs of the north to you. You and I will coordinate the north and the south in the future, so we don't have to worry about driving Yuan away. But you have to be careful." After all, they have been friends for a long time. At this point, I still have my own safety at heart. As for the matter of Xiao Fengxian, I didn't talk about it openly. My good brother knew it well, so why did he need to talk about it?
Xiao Fengxian cried so hard that Red Peony also wet her eyes due to her infection. Zhang Hanqing silently watched the train carrying General Cai slowly pull out of the platform, speechless and choked. Different from the painful separation between the two women, he knew that this separation was their eternal farewell! Is this a historical necessity? he thinks. When Cai E was diagnosed with a serious throat disease, he knew that fate had called upon this hero of the Republic of China and that there was nothing he could do. As expected, this hero will pass away a year later.
Unlike Xiao Fengxian who guessed the identity of Hero Cai E, Zhang Hanqing knew the outcome. This pain of knowing that it is impossible but unable to do anything is indescribable to anyone.
On the 11th, Cai E came to Liang Qichao's house on the pretext of going to Tianjin to recuperate. After dressing up, he took a boat from Tianjin Port to Japan, then went south to Japan via Kobe, where he met Dai Kan, and finally passed through Hanoi, Vietnam. Returned to Yunnan. During this period, some accidents almost happened. Chen Yi, who was in charge of Tianjin's defense, once led his troops to catch up with Cai E at Tianjin Port. However, because the two had an old relationship, it seemed that it was only a shock but not a danger. Later, Zhang Hanqing used this example to warn Fengjun and later senior people of the People's Army, saying that Chen Yi was loyal to the country, but could not be brave enough to do his job. Chen Yi was not reused in his life, which is also a matter of great interest to later historians.
Liang Qichao also left Tianjin on December 16 under the pretext of going to the United States for medical treatment, came to Shanghai, and held discussions with Tang Hualong, another leader of the Progressive Party, and finally implemented the Progressive Party’s intentions and specific plans to oppose the imperial system.
Fortunately, Yuan Shikai did take things too lightly this time. In his opinion, Liang Qichao was a scholar and Cai E had no military power. Together, these two people could not accomplish anything major. At most, they would just complain together.
Therefore, Yuan Shikai basically ignored this matter, but confidently and boldly prepared for the enthronement ceremony, and continued to prepare for proclaiming himself emperor with great vigor. Indeed, at that time, Yuan Shikai was entangled with so many things about proclaiming himself emperor, and he really couldn't take care of these things that were just conspiracies for a while.

Knowing that Cai E was exposed very recently, Zhang Hanqing could not help but restrain his behavior. He was too close to Cai E before. No matter how stupid Lao Yuan was, he could guess that Cai E's previous behavior was a kind of confusion. How could he know that he would not suspect that he was doing the same thing? If his suspicions about Zhang Zuolin's motives extend to him, it would be a great harm to his father and son's plans.
“I can’t control that much anymore, but it’s definitely not okay to be in the limelight anymore. Where can I find a shelter from the wind? He couldn't help but think of a good place to go: Peking University. If you have the Tao, you should study and if you are good at it, you should become an official. If you are not good at officialdom, you should study. Zheng Fu was considered a good student in school. Wasn't the reason why Lao Yuan asked him to come here just to study? I am just returning to class now.
Of course, he knows his own affairs well, and he has never thought of using his century-old knowledge to stir up trouble in Peking University. If academics are not time-travelers, they must have a stronger advantage than others. You can imagine that a college student with modern education who travels to ancient times and takes the eight-part essay in the imperial examination will definitely be able to pass (and have a high probability of failing).
Peking University’s teachers are not for everyone. Zhang Hanqing’s academic standards are really poor. If he hadn’t made a name for himself in Beijing before, no one would have paid attention to him as an auditor. The reason why I used "if not" is because some people still paid attention to him a few days later.
After all, he is already considered a "well-known person" - he has been praised by Cai E and Jiang Baili successively. This is not a boast. It is difficult for political turmoil not to be blown to the campus, especially in these troubled times. The new-style poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms Bloom" he wrote not long ago was said to be very popular with Hu Shi after it was recited, which made Zhang Hanqing very popular among teachers and students at Peking University. As for ridiculous things such as competing with Duan Hongye and causing a scene in a brothel, in the tolerant Peking University, they were just gossips and tidbits of gossip, not worthy of publicity.
Because in this era, visiting prostitutes is not a big deal and is legal; being jealous is the exclusive preserve of young people. Who doesn’t have one when they are young? A few years later, Chen Duxiu, who became the dean of liberal arts at Peking University, was so jealous that he "scratched a prostitute's private part" while engaging in prostitution. As a result, he was honorably dismissed from this position, and was then hired as the editor of Peking University's National History Compilation Office.
Xu Zhimo once reported his experience of visiting prostitutes to his wife;
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]
Yu Dafu recounted his experience of prostitution and made no secret of his dissolute life;
Hu Shi even more said, "From playing cards to drinking, from drinking to calling, from calling to drinking wine, I learned it all in less than two months." According to statistics from the notes he left, in 59 days " Played cards 16 times, drank 14 times, went to the theater to support actors 19 times, visited brothels and prostitutes 10 times"
So our little Zhang can sit in the classroom and talk about "yellow tune" with Zhu Guangmu with peace of mind.
Zhu Guangmu did not fool around with Xiao Zhang during this period because he was about to graduate from Peking University Law School and had many things to be busy with. However, he still solemnly recommended to Xiao Zhang that he must listen to "yellow tunes".
"Yellow tune? Is it Shibamo? Is there anyone talking about this specifically?" This is very suitable for Zhang Hanqing. Brother not only likes to listen to yellow tunes, but also likes to observe, study and practice it almost every day. During this time, he has become quite familiar with Hong Mudan's body. However, it is rare for Zhu Guangmu, who is strict with himself, to talk about such an unflattering matter in such a high-sounding way. And is this still Peking University?
Zhu Guangmu knew from the look in Zhang Hanqing's eyes that he had gone astray. He said angrily and funny: "Hanqing, where did you think?!"
After some explanation, Zhang Hanqing realized that the "yellow tune" he was listening to was not what he imagined, but a class given by a professor named Huang Kan. The reason why it is called "Yellow Tune" is because Huang Kan's lectures on "Selected Works" and "Wen Xin Diao Long" are very expressive. He is good at reciting poems and cadences, giving people an immersive and beautiful feeling, so the students can't help but sing the harmony. , became a popular tune on the Peking University campus, and was jokingly called "yellow tune" by teachers and students. In the dormitory at that time, "yellow tunes" could be heard everywhere at night.
“I’ve always heard that Peking University’s professors’ lectures have their own characteristics. I really want to hear what this yellow tune is, and it’s not a waste of time to come here. I only seem to have a little impression of Huang Kan, and he is mentioned in literary history. It is said that he lived in the Datong Apartment in Baimiao Hutong, Beijing, and devoted himself to studying "Chinese Studies" all day long. Sometimes he would not go out to eat. He prepared steamed buns, chili, soy sauce and other condiments and placed them on his desk. When he was hungry, he would nibble on the steamed buns and read while eating. . One time, I was so fascinated by reading that I actually put the steamed bun into the inkstone and cinnabar box. I gnawed it for a long time and painted my face without noticing it.
This can be used as inspiration.
However, after figuring out that this "yellow tune" was not the other yellow tune, Zhang Hanqing feltIt’s fun now. Chinese studies are very good and need someone to study them, but this person must not be you. No matter how interesting and connotative Chinese studies are, can we rely on them to defeat the foreign powers and drive away the three mountains that are pressing on the Chinese people? He is well aware of the direction of history, always has a grudge against others, and wants to contribute to China's strength. How could the quiet campus accommodate his surging heart?
However, Zhang Hanqing praised his teacher and Zhang Hanqing. Because Huang Kan is Zhang Taiyan's disciple, Zhang Taiyan is currently being imprisoned by Yuan Shikai. If there is no change, he will be imprisoned until Lao Yuan's death.
Zhang Taiyan’s status in the history of modern literature goes without saying, but he is considered a novice in politics: he not only scolded Yuan Shikai for “having sinister intentions, just like the Empress Dowager of the West”, but also said that Sun Yixian was “the same as Xiang Cheng.” Who in his mind can be the leader of the Republic of China government? Li Yuanhong (Huangpi) and Cen Chunxuan (Xilin) ??also said: "Huangpi's integrity can be expected to lead a responsible cabinet; Xilin's perseverance can be expected to be corrupt and evil." Both of them were old bureaucrats of the Qing Dynasty and new warlords of the Republic of China. Zhang Taiyan had high hopes for these people, which would be hesitating and going astray.
But he has a strong character. On January 7, 1914, Zhang Taiyan "used the Grand Medal (awarded by Yuan Shikai) as a fan pendant, approached the gate of the Presidential Palace, and criticized Yuan Shikai for harboring evil intentions." He was still imprisoned. He once decided to go on a hunger strike and fight with death. He said: " What can I say if I don’t die when the Qing court purchases and arrests, but after the Republic of China is completed!”
The teacher is like this, and the students are not easy either. After Zhang Taiyan was placed under house arrest, countless people risked their lives to visit him, including Huang Kan, who even volunteered to stay with him. This point made Zhang Hanqing quite distressed. Nothing to do, just go shopping and see famous people.
Huang Kan’s reputation is really not an exaggeration. The fact that the seats are packed is not enough to illustrate the attractiveness of his lectures. Even the windows are crowded with students who come to listen to his lectures. The more this happened, the more Zhang Hanqing's interest was aroused. Being able to do this in a university shows that his teaching is different from ordinary people.
With Zhu Guangmu as his companion and being flexible and strong, he finally squeezed in through the back door. The classroom suddenly opened up, and the real person Huang Kan also appeared in front of him. He looks polite, wearing a pair of glasses, but his appearance is not impressive.
His voice could not be heard, because at this time the audience in front of him were chanting something loudly, in a very nice cadence. At first, I didn’t know what to say. After a while, it seemed that everyone was reading ancient prose: "therefore, Wei Wen said: 'The literati look down on each other', which is not an empty talk. When it comes to the lips and tongue of the king, and the desire to write a paper, it is called 'History' He moved to write books and consulted Dongfang Shuo, so Huan Tan's disciples looked at each other and laughed at each other. He was a scholar, but he spoke lightly and criticized others. What's more, he was a scribe, and he could talk nonsense! Therefore, those who value the past and despise the present are the two masters. It is also…"
This passage is selected from "The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons? The Forty-Eightth Zhiyin", which is said to be Huang Kan's specialty. Zhang Hanqing just came with the idea of ????just coming and listening, and allowed everyone to let out the noise, and he thought he was here to cheer. Are you listening to a lecture? What are a bunch of people doing there mumbling about something? It's like hearing someone humming tunes in sync next to you at a concert.
After reading a paragraph, Zhang Hanqing listened attentively, wanting to see the high level of this talented person from Peking University. However, Huang Kan put down the textbook and said seriously: "There is a huge secret hidden behind this ancient book. Sorry, I can’t talk about it just because I have a salary of several hundred yuan from Peking University. If you want to know, you will have to treat me to a restaurant."
Someone in the audience was sneering and laughing, and someone was whispering: "Here we go again!"
This is almost Huang Kan’s patent. After a semester, there will always be such scenes many times. Because he has a "greedy" problem, he often changes his excuses to ask his students to pay for him. Huang Kan was very knowledgeable, so he also had a temper. This may be a common problem among the literati of that era. Whether it is integrity or temperament, in short, many students have seen it too much and don't think it is strange. They know that with Teacher Huang Kan , "Everything is easy if you have food, but it's difficult to move without wine."
Zhang Hanqing doesn’t like to get used to this problem. These days, if we say that the most popular people in various industries are university professors: their monthly salary can easily reach several hundred yuan. Compared with the monthly living expenses of ordinary families at that time, which was only three or four yuan, they were definitely at the level of gold collar. If you are in a good mood, go to class. If you are not good, you will miss class, and the school will still support you like a Bodhisattva. For example, he was later called the "Three Nevers" professor: "It doesn't rain, it doesn't snow, it doesn't blow." Isn't that what a university professor who is a role model for others should do? Huang Kan's taste for food later evolved into letting students who failed the exam go to the banquet. He even said to the principal confidently: "These students still know how to respect teachers, so I don't want to embarrass them." So what if they are good at academics? In addition to adding more tidbits and interesting news for future generations, can China turn the tide and help the building from collapse?
He also had a very selfish idea, which was to express his "loyalty" to Lao Yuan by creating a dispute, so Zhang Hanqing shouted rudely: "Every second must be used in cultivating talents in the country. How can it be done for the sake of food and drink?" Want to waste the time of dozens of people? Teachers teach, teach, and resolve doubts, rather than using power for personal gain. By doing this, Teacher Huang, are you not afraid of tarnishing the sacred school of Peking University?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Every second counts, why waste the time of dozens of people just for the sake of food and drink? A teacher preaches, imparts knowledge and solves doubts, rather than using power for personal gain. In doing so, is Teacher Huang not afraid of tarnishing the sacred school of Peking University?

Chapter 95 Bickering

Everyone in the house was shocked, and the good-hearted person was shocked: Madman Huang and Little Madman had a fight, and there was a good show to watch.
In this era of respecting teachers, the level of activity in the classrooms of the Republic of China universities was no worse than that of later generations. Students can argue with teachers in class and have academic conflicts, but it is rare to directly denounce teachers. As for the students who dared to scold teachers and kick out principals after the May 4th Movement, it was only because of political opposition, and there were almost no academic reasons. This is a good trend.
Huang Kan has the nickname "Huang Madman", and anyone in heaven or on earth can scold him. Just like his teacher Zhang Madman, he laughs and scolds, relies on his talent and arrogance, does whatever he wants, and is independent. He is the only one who can scold others. I have never heard of anyone else. If you dare to mess with him, it is said that his acquaintance with his teacher Zhang Taiyan also started from a scolding battle. Zhang Taiyan was so famous that he dared to scold him (of course he didn't know it at first), so other people were not to be mentioned. For example, Chen Duxiu was criticized by him, Hu Shi was ridiculed, and he had a fight with the famous songwriter Wu Mei, and even his junior brother Qian Xuantong was not spared. His disciples were known as the "Huangmen Shilang", and they gathered in large groups, and their momentum alone made others respect them.
But I was still criticized. The students who were listening to the class were very interested and wanted to experience for themselves the scene of the "crazy yellow" going crazy. There is a saying that the stronger you get, the stronger you become. Zhang Hanqing has only been at Peking University for a short period of time, but he has long been known as a "little madman". When the two powers compete, the scene will be exciting.
“For many years, no one has dared to confront me head-on like this. After Huang Kan heard Zhang Hanqing's unceremonious accusation, for a second or two, or three or four seconds, he was completely out of the situation. He is quick-witted and quick-witted, otherwise he would not be able to irritate the master Hu Shi and stop him from talking. But Zhang Hanqing didn't play word games with him, he just criticized him morally, which made him extremely embarrassed.
But within a matter of seconds, the arrogant Huang Kan was back. He stared at the childish Zhang Hanqing and said angrily: "Who are you?"
Zhang Hanqing did not flinch, and looked back: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is whether you did it right." Zhu Guangmu was surprised and gently held his hand: "Hanqing, don't be ridiculous."
Huang Kan is a well-known madman, how can he tolerate others, especially a student, being unable to stand up to him? He slammed the book on the podium: "I, Huang Kan, are like this, and I can't change it. If you don't want to listen to the class, just go out!" I just thought you were a new student who didn't understand the market. He didn't know how much he weighed, and he dared to compete with him. Is the famous Peking University madman Huang challenging him?
Zhang Hanqing’s eyebrows stood straight up: “It’s wrong, it’s wrong. Do you want to use the professor’s authority to scare me? I won’t do that! If you want to drive me away, call your principal.”
He will not be intimidated by the other party. He will be strong if he has no desire. He does not expect to get a diploma, he just wants to experience life. Cai E's matter is like a bullet hanging over his head, and he can't tell when it will explode. When he returned to Peking University, he wanted to temporarily escape from the whirlpool and show all parties that his "main job" in coming to Beijing was to study. He was still just a student and should not associate him with politics. The father and son had already done enough drama in supporting Lao Yuan as emperor, and they had to stop as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would become known as the "primary culprits of the imperial system" and it would end badly in the future.
But it seems too abrupt to come to class so obediently, doesn’t it? No matter what, I have to cause some trouble at Peking University without losing my "innocent" heart towards President Yuan Da.
There is no such thing as Huang Kan today, so he will find other things to alarm everyone. He also had a small thought in his mind. If he made a big deal out of something, it would be best to be expelled. Then he would have a reason to go back to the Northeast without any worries - he wouldn't be able to go to school.
Choosing Huang Kan was also a wise decision - his teacher was under house arrest for opposing Yuan Shikai, and he went to accompany him in prison in person, but was eventually kicked back. If he gets into a fight with him, it will at least give Lao Yuan an illusion - if it spreads, I believe it will spread - so far, our Xiao Zhang still supports Yuan without changing his original intention. The enemy of the enemy is Friends.
Others are afraid of the principal, at least in later generations of campuses, because the principal is the administrative leader and has endless resources in the school. But this was in the Republic of China. The principal was the nanny of the professors. In the Republic of China, there were a lot of professors who did not take the principal seriously, and they were praised as the backbone of intellectuals. At least for Huang Kan, he didn't care about Principal Hu Renyuan.
Seeing Zhang Hanqing using the principal to pressure him, Huang Kan smiled instead of getting angry. Good guy, what's your background? Don't you understand the market? You are the son of the president, and I, Huang Kan, dare to drive you out of the classroom!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????… Whether it is Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui, or warlords large and small in various places, including Chiang Kai-shek who later became the official historian, they may not be literate or knowledgeable, but for intellectuals they are? Respect—even in name only—is something that all Chinese dynasties, including later generations, have not been able to achieve. Lu Xun scolded the Kuomintang so much, but the spies were just around the corner. He did whatever he was supposed to do, and there was no physical threat. Hu Shi made Chiang Kai-shek so angry that he often suffered from insomnia, but he never suffered political persecution. Instead, he was dying Later, he received personal condolences from Chiang Kai-shek with a handwritten elegiac note: "A model of new culture and old morals, a teacher of old ethics and new ideas." …
Even his father, Zhang Zuolin, had great respect for intellectuals. The most criticized incident in history was the murder of Li Dazhao, but there was sufficient evidence that the Soviets were behind the overthrow of the Fengcian regime, which rose to a political level; and soon Later, Gu Hongming called Lao Yuan a "bastard" after he proclaimed himself emperor. "Yuan Shikai's behavior is worse than that of a thief and a thief. He is shameless, shameless and righteous." Lao Yuan could only sulk.
The custom is like this, it seems that if they don’t do it, it won’t show their modesty. But it's this that makes people feel that warlords of this era also have a cute side. Huang Kan's reaction was a sign of the good academic atmosphere and high status of intellectuals at this time.
"The principal is here, are you sure that he won't drive you away?" Huang Kan regained his intellectual dignity and stopped his students' impulse to drive Zhang Hanqing away by force: "Please come and see Principal Hu." ”, he said to his group of “Yellow Gate Ministers”.
Hu Renyuan rushed in almost at a trot. Under his rule, there had never been any quarrels between students and teachers. Especially when there is Huang Kan on one of the parties, he is a lunatic, and he would not dare to mess with him at ordinary times. This is amazing. He has secretly made up his mind to use a sharp knife to cut through the mess and punish the students severely, so that Professor Huang must be satisfied.
As a conservative-minded principal, he has a natural respect for the legacy of the Qing Dynasty and scholar-bureaucrats. Otherwise, some of the professors he hired during his tenure would not be Gu Hongming, Liu Shipei, Yao Zhongshi, Chen Guyi and others. No matter how bad-tempered and crazy Professor Huang Kan is, he is still a teacher. Students who cannot respect their teachers must not be good students.
However, when Principal Hu, who was determined to investigate, saw Zhang Hanqing, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Not to mention charming, but this is a student personally arranged by President Yuan Da, so I am very impressed.
"Han Qing, why did you get into a quarrel with Professor Ji Gang? You are young and don't understand etiquette. Why don't you quickly apologize to Professor Huang?" For a moment, he had the idea of ????being a peacemaker. Both sides have backgrounds, so it's better to try not to get angry. It is estimated that Zhang Hanqing, a playboy, has angered the bad-tempered Madman Huang on some matters. As long as he puts down his posture and says some nice words, and then does a round of things, the matter will be over. Zhang Hanqing is a teenage boy, so there is nothing wrong with him.
Huang Kan was surprised to see that Hu Renyuan and Zhang Hanqing knew each other. I don’t know whose child he is, but if I quarreled with him based on my own identity, I would feel inferior.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Hanqing had no intention of calming down the matter, so he said forcefully: "Ever since I was a child, my father has told me to respect teachers and teach, but teachers must also be respected by students. I am not wrong on this point. How come? Can you apologize?"
Huang Kan got angry: "I don't care whose disciple you are, as long as you attend my class, you must abide by my rules. The principal has also seen it now. Either let him leave the classroom or I will leave." He was angry like a child , His temper is rising, and no one can stop him.
Hu Renyuan was in trouble. At this time, many students had already explained the whole story clearly. Hey, Zhang Hanqing is the same kid. What a big deal. At Peking University, there are more outrageous things than Huang Kan. Huang Kan does more outrageous things. Isn’t it just delicious? At Peking University, it’s Famous.
"Han Qing, this person has a certain temperament for every ability he has. Professor Huang is a scholar, so he naturally has a temperament. Some talents are also good, and they must be looked at in two parts. For example, Zhang Dai of the Ming Dynasty once said: "You can't make friends with people without quirks, because they don't have deep affection; you can't make friends with people without flaws, because they don't have true energy." You can gain valuable knowledge with just a meal. , it should be a good story among scholars, how can you rebel against your teacher because of this matter?" This is Hu Renyuan instilling Hu's theory into Zhang Hanqing in order to appease Lao Huang's anger.
Zhang Hanqing was unconvinced: "Is there still this theory? If you have ability, you should have a temper? Then I also have a temper!"
Huang Kan was amused: "You want to compete with me? May I ask whether you study Confucian classics, literature or philosophy? Do you have any articles published? Huang is not talented, so I would like to read a few." He has knowledge in Confucian classics, literature and philosophy. He has profound attainments, especially in the aspects of traditional "primary school" phonology, writing, and exegesis. He is known as one of the three "masters of Chinese studies" in the Republic of China. Asking a half-grown child for advice is actually full of irony.
Zhang Hanqing did not think that he was being boastful, but said without shame: "What I study is the principle of saving the country and the people. It is a living thought, not in a book. I have dabbled in all aspects of economics, politics, military, strategy, diplomacy and international games. I will never Just like Mr. Wang, he buried himself deep in old papers and cultivated his knowledge. Even in comparison, each has his own strengths."
" Two unrelated people are talking nonsense here, one is a senior scholar, and the other is as cool as Xiaogu Ruhu. The students crane their necks to see how their Principal Huang will end up. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?: "What I study is the principle of saving the country and the people. It is a living thought, not in a book.

Even in comparison, each has his own strengths."

Chapter 6 Yuan Shikai’s Thoughts (Part 1)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing’s words were reported to Yuan Shikai’s desk at the Presidential Palace in Beijing soon after. It's not that his words are so touching, but that they coincide with President Yuan's thoughts - in this turbulent era, there are not many generals and frontier officials like Zhang Zuolin who can educate their sons to be so "loyal and loyal" See you.
"Keding, what do you think?" he asked his eldest son who was at his side.
"Father, this Zhang Xueliang is very insightful despite his young age! The best way to solve the current political situation in China is to concentrate the people's hearts and military power to turn China into a constitutional monarchy. Even a 16-year-old baby can see the truth. I think my father has already made up his mind? When my son was in Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm II said to me: 'The democratic republic that China is currently pursuing is not suitable for China's national conditions. If China wants to develop, it must learn from Germany. , No country can develop without an imperial system.' He asked me to tell my father that if China wants to restore its imperial system, Germany will do its best to help. I must have read the Kaiser's letter carefully, right?"
The speaker was Yuan Keding, the eldest son of President Yuan Da.
If there is no one around Yuan Shikai who is most enthusiastic about advocating imperialism, it is him. Because of a foot disease, he went to Germany for medical treatment and was warmly received by Germany. During his stay in Germany, Yuan Keding was amazed by Germany's achievements, and he was convinced of the efficacy of the German imperial system. In 1914, the 36-year-old Mr. Yuan's foot injury was not cured in Germany, but he returned to China with a dream of becoming an emperor. As a result, Yuan Keding had a "German whirlwind" at home. He ordered a set of majestic German prince general school uniforms for himself and his brothers, implicitly calling himself the "prince".
But where can a prince come from without an emperor? As the eldest son who has always followed Yuan Shikai, Yuan Keding knew his father's thoughts clearly: he wanted to be a bitch but also wanted to build a memorial arch, he was ambitious but worried about gains and losses. He didn't understand that the world was already in his hands, so what did his father have to fear?
When talking about the history of the Republic of China, one cannot fail to mention Yuan Shikai, who is being worshiped by all parties at this time. It was he who single-handedly created the Beiyang faction, relied on his strength to force the Qing emperor to abdicate, established the Republic of China, and used his alliance to squeeze out Sun Yat-sen in exchange for the post of president.
On the second anniversary of the Revolution of 1911, 53-year-old Yuan Shikai officially took office as the first president of the Republic of China, reaching the pinnacle of power and career in his life. Then, in order to avoid being controlled by others, he used a trick to make his soldiers mutiny, in order to threaten and achieve the purpose of refusing to go south to Nanjing to take up his post. His goal, which anyone with a discerning eye could see through, was actually achieved very easily.
Because of this, he saw through the harsh nature of the Kuomintang. Although he admired the West, he looked down upon those revolutionaries wearing suits. He had a mocking attitude toward the Kuomintang. After giving in and observing for more than a year, he thought he had understood the details of these revolutionaries: they were impetuous and childish, eager for success, and had no other skills except rhetoric and "making trouble"; they had copied them from the West That approach simply won’t work in Chinese society. In China, things must be done the Chinese way.
At this time, he had every reason to be complacent. The country needs basic administrative unity, which is the consensus of all parties except the Kuomintang at that time. It is worth mentioning that although Cai E later became known as an "anti-Yuan", he was Yuan's collaborator during the second revolution. The unified thinking formed by China's thousand-year feudal society has its own necessity and soil for its existence.
His idea is to first restore strong control of administrative power in China, and then rely on strong administrative power to open up people's wisdom from top to bottom and "step by step" and implement constitutional government step by step. Everything must be under control, in a plan, and planned as a whole. "Weigh the priorities and make an overall plan. If it is difficult to do something suddenly, it is more important to proceed step by step and not to plan." Only in this way can there be no trouble and only then can we become prosperous and strong in stability.
This politician who was born in Henan Province, which has the deepest history in China, is confident that he understands the mysteries of Chinese politics better than anyone else. People's first impression of him is that he is capable, and the second is that he is sophisticated. With these two items, Yuan Shikai was extremely skilled at winning over and manipulating people. In Chinese society, such people are destined to have a bright future, and Yuan Shikai is also extremely confident in his social experience. In his view, the army and money are indestructible in China.
??And facts have proven this time and again.
The situation in the second year of the Republic of China seemed to be very unfavorable to him. The Kuomintang led by Song Jiaoren won a resounding victory in the congressional election and was about to push Yuan into a corner. However, Yuan did not waste energy on the campaign. He was busy borrowing money from foreign countries. He borrowed a loan for the aftermath at any cost, and with the money as a backing, he murdered Song Jiaoren, and then the well-paid Beiyang Army easily suppressed the "Second Revolution." Then, at a cost of 10,000 yuan each, most of the Kuomintang members announced their resignation from the Kuomintang.?
His Chinese experience is invincible. The foreign ideas of Sun Yat-sen, Song Jiaoren and others who used elections to gain power are vulnerable to Yuan Shikai's Chinese methods. Soon, he fought his way out of the siege of provincial autonomy, parliament and conventions, and took real power.
Liang Qichao used his usual sharp pen to describe the political atmosphere under Yuan Shikai's rule: "Yuan himself didn't know what made humans different from beasts. He thought that all human beings trembled when they saw a white blade, worshiped when they saw gold, and I held them in arms. With these two things appearing in the world, what can you ask for but not get? In the past four years, there has been no so-called politics in the Beijing government. Only the ghosts of these two things are hovering and burning in people's hearts."
So even after Song Jiaoren was assassinated and Sun Yat-sen launched the "second revolution", the country's major political forces still supported him and still pinned their hopes on this strongman to lead China out of the throes of revolution and toward independence and prosperity. Perhaps a political figure should not be evaluated entirely based on his means. In any case, China achieved basic administrative unification for the first time after the Revolution of 1911.
In 1913, China had expectations for Yuan's iron fist. And Yuan Shikai is also confident that he can live up to such expectations. The person who rules China must understand China, and he thinks he has a better idea about how China can change.
In order to restore the power of the country, he began to centralize power. This was familiar to him. He manipulated, coerced and induced, and replaced all provinces with people who listened to him. He took back the power to appoint officials in the provinces and took local control firmly into his own hands. In order to renew the bureaucracy, he organized civil service examinations in 1914 and 1915 to select civilian officials at the county magistrate level. He established a special court to try officials (Pingzhengyuan) to severely punish corruption. He hopes to restore discipline and strength to the bureaucracy through measures such as these.
After gaining solid power, he attacked parliament, the Constitution and local self-government organizations. He abolished the Covenant, dissolved parliament, and abolished the self-governing institutions he had advocated since the late Qing Dynasty. In order to suppress dissatisfied voices in society, he strengthened the censorship of newspapers and periodicals. Post offices sent mail to police stations for surveillance, thousands of plainclothes officers and intelligence agents searched for dissidents, railway passengers were questioned on suspicion of treason, and their luggage was scrutinized. It seems that he is completely betraying the Revolution of 1911 and even his own political ideals, and the evidence is conclusive that he is moving towards "reaction" step by step.
His original intention is of course not to turn China into a police state. He wants constitutional procedures, legal procedures, civil rights, and a representative parliament. The problem is that he believes that the current parliament, laws, and self-government methods are wrong. They come from evil sources, go crazy, are taken advantage of by bad people, and are completely out of shape. Therefore, he wants to abolish them all and then rebuild them according to his own model.
Yuan Shikai deeply believed in his unique analysis of Chinese society. He believes that in China, where people's wisdom is still undeveloped, ordering and commanding are the most useful methods. When the quality of the people does not reach a certain level, elections cannot achieve their own purpose and will only be used by people with ulterior motives.
So in January 1914, he dissolved Congress, tore up the "convention", and wiped away all traces of dishonest politics. However, all these reactionary actions that stifled the vitality of the nation were accomplished under the cover of the beautiful slogans of "unifying the country," "saving the country and the people," and "defending the republic." Afterwards, Yuan believed that "the people abused their freedom to cook and the people's political understanding was still in their infancy", he abolished the Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China, launched a new "Constitution of the Republic of China" in May, and changed the cabinet system to a presidential system. Although various centralization measures are manifestations of dictatorship, they have also won the reputation of "Washington, the first in the Republic of China". Later, the presidential election law was revised so that the president could be re-elected indefinitely, and the new president would be appointed by the sitting president.
Around 1915, Yuan Shikai’s centralization of power reached its peak. He had unlimited power equivalent to that of an emperor. He reorganized the bureaucratic order and restored the central finance. However, contrary to his assumption, China has not become more powerful, but has become weaker. Society has calmed down, but it has become lifeless. The dignity of the government and the alienation of the government from ordinary citizens have reappeared. Opportunities for ordinary citizens to participate in politics have all disappeared, and the property-owning class has become dangerously silent under high political pressure. China looks more like a piece of loose sand than before.
What makes Yuan Shikai even more embarrassed is that all diplomatic crises since 1913 have ended with China's retreat. He was forced to recognize the autonomy of Tibet and Inner Mongolia, making foreign independence a reality. The "Twenty-One Measures" of 1915 finally proved to the whole country that his centralization of power did not gain defense power against the great powers. On the contrary, in order to centralize power, he had to sacrifice the national interest.
Yuan Shikai became angry from shame. Why did the unified country not have the cohesion he expected? He made a unique diagnosis. The cause was the people's unfamiliarity and disapproval of the Republic of China. Since everyone does not recognize the Republic of China, the only other option is to restore the monarchy except for the Panzi state. Also, look at Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom, aren’t they all doing very well, and they are still one of the few big and powerful countries in the world?
The fatigue of the state machinery caused by high-pressure rule, the fear of national dissatisfaction, and the humiliation of diplomatic failure made Yuan Shikai regard the imperial system as a life-saving straw. The train of totalitarianism finally entered the abyss of imperialism. His series of mistakes since 1913 have now received an indefensible summary mark.
Over the years, few people have been willing to provide the necessary explanation for Yuan Shikai's imperial system: the name "Hongxian" means "promoting constitutional government"!

Chapter 7 Yuan Shikai’s Thoughts (Part 2)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Lao Yuan did not comment on the eldest son’s words. Yuan Keding only wanted to be his prince, so of course he couldn't see many things clearly. Besides, he was not a qualified politician to begin with. From a father's perspective, he is not someone who can achieve great things.
Just because his size is too small, this shortcoming is fatal enough.
Duan Qirui and Li Yuanhong, the elders, represent the Beiyang faction and are the capital on which they depend for their lives. Yuan Keding usually doesn't have much respect for them and always uses the influence of Prince Qian to suppress them. How can he, who is one of the Three Great Masters of Beiyang, be underestimated by someone who doesn't even know how to measure up?
It doesn’t matter to others, since I am gradually emptying their power anyway. But he has no affection for his younger brother, which is unreasonable.
His younger brother is his second son Yuan Kewen.
Even if Yuan Keding is not lame, Yuan Shikai's favorite "prince" is still Yuan Kewen. It is a pity that he did not want to enter politics and became an idle prince in advance to avoid disaster. He also often spoke out to accept advice and repeatedly violated his own taboos.
For example, when people all over the country were aware of the elegance of his proclaimed emperor, he publicly sang against the tune at an inappropriate time and wrote two famous poems in the capital. I remember one of them was written like this:
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? by Bo Feitai, whose liquid heart is without attachment, and whose dream is to soar as the clouds rise over the cliff.
Occasionally, I listen to the whistle of complaint in the distant forest, and I stand alone in the bright room and turn on the bright light.
"It's a pity that it's so windy and rainy at high places, so don't go to the top floor of Qiong Tower."
"If he hadn't been against him, Lao Yuan would have almost clapped his hands and exclaimed. The poem is really good, but this is obviously anti-poetry that pours cold water on it! What does "It's a pity that it's so windy and rainy in high places, don't go to the top of the Qiong Tower"? Isn’t it good to be an emperor?
Because of this, the eldest son copied it for himself. Is he trying to prove something? In a capital full of spies, does this kind of thing still require him to rush up and down to deliver a letter to himself? What he has to do is to persuade his second brother not to go against his will, to minimize the impact of the situation, and to be true brothers and respectful brothers!
"Keding, Germany is too far away from us. William II is an ambitious man, and he is trying to expand his power in the Far East, so he needs us rather than us needing him. In fact, I am most concerned about the attitude of the Japanese." Yuan Shikai said.
"Oh, Japanese, the Japanese absolutely support my father." Yuan Keding hurriedly took a few newspapers, pointed to the content inside and said: "This is the content of the "Shuntian Times" these days."
"Shuntian Times" was read by Yuan Shikai every day, because this newspaper not only had a large circulation, but was also a Chinese-language newspaper run by the Japanese in Tianjin, from which the trends of the Japanese government could be seen.
"Britain was a constitutional monarch, and the sun never sets today; Japan was a constitutional monarch, and the country prospered in a corner. In today's China, the republic is in a dead end, and only by restoring the dynastic system can we promote the story of China." This is the story of three days. Headlines.
"The trend of constitutional monarchy is gradually increasing, and the people are excited, saying that the resurgence of China is expected. The president should comply with the destiny and accept the public opinion." This is the editor's note for the fourth day
It seems that public opinion is really on his side. In this way, the biggest hidden worry is solved. You can understand it if you think about it: Japan and the United Kingdom are both constitutional monarchs, so they have no reason to oppose themselves, right?
As the first person in the Republic of China, he also has a large number of troops, and he has the right time and location. Now it seems that he only needs peace and harmony.
What is human harmony? In my mind, that is what everyone recommends. In the government of the Republic of China, there were many important civil and military ministers who expressed their resolute disapproval of his suggestion of becoming emperor. Even Chief of Staff Duan Qirui and Vice President Li Yuanhong, who had been following him for many years, directly expressed their opposition, even though they said they would go to court in the future. At that time, it was not possible to "enter the court without following the trend, praise and worship without being famous", which made Lao Yuan indecisive.
"Yang Xizi also sent a message to his father, saying that the heroes of ancient and modern times should be treated as extraordinary things at this critical moment. Now that the world has returned to its center, my father must be determined and will suffer chaos." Yuan Keding borrowed the words of others and pretended to be alarmist. .
"Yang Du is still so enthusiastic!" When mentioning him, Lao Yuan finally showed a hint of cheerfulness. Among the many civil servants and counselors, Yang Du was the first to advocate the implementation of a constitutional monarchy in China. As early as the late Qing Dynasty, he clearly expressed his political views when he was sent to Tokyo. He debated with Sun Yat-sen several times in Tokyo on the issue of the Chinese revolution. "They gathered for three days and nights without rest. Manchus, Chinese and foreign, talked about the pros and cons of the revolution without any explanation." Zhang Shizhao said this in "The Beginning and End of Interaction with Huang Keqiang" Mentioned that he did not agree with Sun's revolutionary ideas, but he introduced Huang Xing to Sun Yixian and promoted Sun and Huang's cooperation. Soon after the Chinese Alliance was established, Sun Yixian strongly invited Yang Du to participate, but he refused to participate and preferred to do his own thing. He said:??My Lord has established a constitutional monarchy, and I have succeeded. I hope you will help me. Your husband has called for national revolution. If you succeed, I will give up all his ideas in order to help you. Work hard on national affairs, don't interfere with each other today. "
From this period of history, it can be verified that he was by no means a villain who took advantage of the imperial system to advance, so Yuan Shikai also had great trust in him. Therefore, in the fourth year of the Republic of China, Yang Du, Sun Yujun, Liu Shipei, Li Xiehe, Hu Ying, Yan Fu and others jointly organized a preparatory meeting, appointed himself as chairman, advocated a constitutional monarchy, and argued that "the study of monarchy from an academic perspective should be used in China." Which one is appropriate?"
At this time, when the domestic national salvation movement was in full swing, Yang Du, the theorist of the Hongxian monarchy, attributed the fundamental problem of resentment over Japan's negotiations and the country's lack of prosperity to the failure of the constitutional monarch. He implicitly admitted that the problem of national poverty and weakness, represented by the Twenty-One Articles, needed to be solved by the monarchy. On May 31st of the same year, Yang Du submitted "The Theory of Monarch and Constitution to Save the Country", "If China does not abolish the republic and establish a monarch, there will be no hope of becoming a strong country, no hope of making the country rich, no hope of establishing a constitution, and it will end in the country being destroyed Therefore, it is based on autocracy" The right to carry out the work of establishing a constitution is an excellent opportunity for a saintly monarch to establish a great cause."
I don’t know whether it was a show or a genuine sympathy for each other, but Yuan Shikai praised Yang Du greatly after reading "On the Constitution of the King and the Salvation of the Nation", calling it "a wise saying", and personally gave Yang Du a plaque with an inscription, conferring Yang Du as "an outstanding talent of the times". Ignore Liang Qichao's "noise". At this time, the "Four Civil Treaties between China and Japan" had only been signed for a week, and the ink was still wet.
To be honest, Yuan Shikai’s desire to become emperor was not just a whim. As early as four years ago, when he took office as the president, his pomp was no different from that of a new emperor ascending the throne. Later, by squeezing out the Kuomintang and Congress, and then amending the constitution, he could be the president indefinitely and directly designate a successor president. Basically, the position of president was hereditary, and he was only called the emperor.
Although this approach has caused dissatisfaction among some groups, especially the Kuomintang. But how can a fragmented opposition party influence the overall situation? On the contrary, the fermentation of this twenty-one point is nerve-wracking: originally it was just the Japanese government taking advantage of the crisis that other countries in the European War had no time to take care of, and it endured the humiliation and made concessions, but some people with intentions connected the current imperial system with it. , saying that he betrayed his country in order to obtain the permission of the Japanese government to proclaim himself emperor, this is a crime that he cannot bear! At present, there are some rumors about this statement in the market, but the Chinese government does not dare to reject it openly, and the establishment of a constitution is its original intention. After passing this village, there is no such store. It is really a headache!
Now that all civil servants have expressed their opinions, there is still no news about the military commander whom Lao Yuan relies on most, which makes him uneasy. Changing the state system is a very important matter, because not long after the Qing emperor abdicated, the people still have the remnants of two thousand years of feudalism in their hearts. Proclaiming emperor at this time will have the least resistance in the national mind. Even so, he is still on guard against dissatisfaction, although his control over the central government is unprecedented in the past ten years and even in the following decades.
Cai E, who was once the most threatening governor of Yunnan, was ordered to go north and serve as General Zhaowei under his nose, deputy head of the officer model corps, superintendent of the Economic and Border Bureau, and general office of the Army and Navy Generalissimo (similar to the Central Military Commission) Positions such as generals, clerks, etc. have actually been provided and are no longer a problem.
The Northeast was an important area to defend the capital, so he first sent his cronies Zhang Xiluan to control military affairs in Fengtian, Jilin, and Heilongjiang. After that failed, he transferred General Zhangwu and Duan Zhigui, who was in charge of military affairs in Hubei, to them to prevent local officials from taking root.
Yuan Shikai was wary of Zhang Zuolin. This was his consensus with all local generals who held heavy troops. Although Zhang Zuolin can be regarded as a generational hero, Yuan Shikai never showed any blatant confrontation with the Central Committee. At the same time, Yuan Shikai also believed that he could control Zhang Zuolin. After all, Zhang Zuolin's strength was limited, with only one division of troops.
Even so, Yuan Shikai was still worried about Zhang Zuolin, the most popular king in Fengtian. He appointed Feng Delin as the commander of the 28th Division, and promoted Feng to the rank of lieutenant general in the army. He was placed on an equal footing with Zhang Zuolin in Fengtian as a constraint. Xu Lanzhou, the ambitious commander of the Army's First Division, was also assigned to garrison in Heilongjiang to prevent Zhang Zuolin from gaining power in the Northeast. At the same time, Meng Enyuan, who is stationed in Jilin, is not an easy person to deal with. Among the powerful figures in the Northeast, Zhang Zuolin was even more low-key.
It seems that I was too wary of him. The tiger father has no sons. His son Zhang Xueliang is really good. He has this kind of insight at a young age. It is really rare to know that he will never betray the country. Some words are spoken by oneself and others only listen to them in person. How can one know what is going on in one's heart? Only if you express your feelings through the words of others, and this other person is also a very influential person in the party, this statement will have some meaning.
The child asked for the truth, and Yuan Shikai wanted to meet this young man with extraordinary insights, a national scholar!
The world is at peace, and the princes have returned to their hearts. At this moment, Yuan Shikai looked forward to Zixiong, thinking that he was a person chosen by fate and could change the course of history at will. He always looked up to the sky, secretly asking who was in charge of the ups and downs of the vast earth. Who in the world knows what is on his mind and who dares to tell it?
In fact, who doesn’t know? At least Zhang Hanqing was clear, clear, and knowledgeable about this process. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Who controls the ups and downs of the earth? Who in the world knows what is on his mind and who dares to tell it?

Chapter 96 Three Benefits
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Huang Renyuan was so angry, this time he really took out his grievances on Zhang Hanqing.
A boy in his early teens ridiculed Huang Kan, who was famous all over the world, for his lack of knowledge. Even he, who was well versed in Chinese and Western knowledge, did not dare to do so. "Each has his or her own strengths," I'm afraid the only one who can compare is that Zhang Hanqing is younger than Huang Kan.
“What if you have a relationship with the president? This is Peking University! Even Yuan Shikai would not intervene in academic disputes. What's more, as far as he knew, Zhang Hanqing's background was just the son of General Fengtian, and he was just a proton. Even if Yuan Shikai and Zhang Zuolin came in person, they would have to give Huang Kan face.
Having said that, Hu Renyuan made up his mind to stand firmly on Huang Kan's side on this matter, resolutely safeguard the academic style and discipline of Peking University, and resolutely safeguard the dignity of Peking University professors.
Huang Kan was also very angry here: "You said you have dabbled in so many things. Forgive Huang's ignorance. I have never heard of your deeds of 'saving the country and the people'. Although Huang is a bit arrogant, but when I meet someone with real ability I still respect you very much. But if you can't tell me something that I admire, don't blame Huang for using his status to oppress others. Not only will you stop taking my classes, but you won't have to come to Peking University anymore."
He deliberately said "save the country and save the people" very hard, and everyone present laughed when they saw Zhang Hanqing's fur had not yet faded away.
Zhang Hanqing burst into laughter: "We do not agree with each other. You are studying academics, and I am committed to China's great changes. How can I be so quick to impress you? But since you asked me how to save the country and the people, I might as well start with you, sir. What is the purpose of teaching and students studying, sir?"
Huang Kan watched him talk and laugh calmly, without any intention of showing weakness, but he admired his courage. Well, let's see how much stuff he has. He said sternly: "Teacher, you should teach and solve doubts. You should have studied Han Yu's "Teacher's Theory"; the purpose of reading, in Hengqu's words, is to 'establish a mind for the world, a life for the people, and a life for the people'." "Go to the saints and inherit the unique knowledge to create peace for all generations." Maybe you don't understand its true meaning. In my pile of old papers, there are some that enlighten thoughts, inherit righteousness, and govern the world. I don't know how your "many dabbles" will help save the country. How helpful it is to save the people, Huang is all ears.”
Zhang Hanqing nodded: "What you are talking about is Zhang Zai's ideal. However, since the Opium War, China has declined from a great country to a country with lost sovereignty and fragmented regimes, people are in dire straits, traditional Confucianism has declined, and Western learning has spread eastward and has become the mainstream. The country will not China, why talk about creating peace for everything? The Chinese studies that Mr. Huang studied are good, but they are not what China urgently needs. My knowledge, if I talk about my attainments in Chinese studies, is definitely not up to Mr. Wan 1. But when it comes to grasping China’s current status quo and future development that is crucial to China’s future, I have a greater say than Mr.
"The teacher is so right in what he said. A teacher is someone who preaches, teaches and resolves doubts. But my confusion is: Where is the hope for China to be strong? Where is the way to make China rich? Where is the direction to solve the current international status? Xueliang is committed to studying for the rise of China, please teach me!"
Huang Kan is a great scholar of Chinese studies, and his immersion in Chinese characters and research on philosophy are by no means limited to "white horses are not horses". However, he is a conscientious professor and cannot help but face the fact that Chinese studies are rich but the people are poor and sophistry. He has a solid foundation in Chinese studies, but after talking about the heavy topic of the country's weakness, he no longer has any competitive spirit.
However, the reason why Huang Kan became Madman Huang lies in his wit and adaptability. Just because he doesn't argue about right and wrong doesn't mean he can let this topic go. Since Zhang Hanqing directly denounced his wrongdoing, he would also treat him in his own way.
"Chinese studies have not found a way out, but it does not mean that Chinese studies are useless. If a country's thoughts are imprisoned or distorted, even if it is strong, it is also a soulless body. The purpose of studying Chinese studies in our generation is to let people with insight see it Yes, our country still has a long history and culture. Keep an innocent heart so that foreigners cannot truly control the aspiration of the Chinese people while occupying China's territory and seizing our sovereignty. Sooner or later, we will To restore the glory since the Han and Tang Dynasties!"
The students applauded enthusiastically. They never imagined that Huang Kan had such a passionate side.
"This classmate, have you thought of any good ways to save the country and the people?" The conversation changed, and Huang Kan began to attack Zhang Hanqing's army.
In fact, at this point, the two of them have shifted from a dispute of temper to a chivalrous act of serving the country and the people. Huang Kan's malice has been greatly reduced, but he can't just let go of the instigator casually, he must be punished. It would be nice to learn a lesson. Everyone knows the truth, but you can't just talk nonsense in his class and it will be fine.
Zhang HanqingHe was not at a loss as expected. He had thought about this problem countless times.
"To save the country, we must first have a country. The Republic of China is now facing an unprecedented situation. If military and political orders are unified, a centralized government that imitates Germany can be established to develop industry and economy, and use modern industry, agriculture, and transportation. and national defense construction, and by concentrating superior resources to handle these four major events, China's status will surely make the great powers dare not underestimate it.
Only when a country becomes rich and powerful can it be qualified to talk about saving its people. The so-called saving the people means arming the minds of the people with advanced culture, advanced systems, and advanced ideas, so that they can stand up not only physically but also mentally. In this regard, Peking University, as the country's premier university, should stand at the forefront of history and guide the people. This is the style and responsibility of a master in the new era.
As for our task, it is to do our best to promote this change. "
Originally, the students wanted to watch a good show, but unexpectedly it became Zhang Hanqing’s personal performance. After being in this world for nearly half a year, this is the first time that I have revealed my ambitions to the public, and I feel very happy about it. The intellectuals of Peking University are the backbone of China. It was their leap in the sky that later set off a great collision of ideas and a great liberation, which enabled the New Culture Movement to sail onto the broad road through the carrier of the May Fourth Movement. At this point, giving everyone a lesson and brainwashing them in advance would be beneficial without any harm, which is why he took the opportunity to initiate this debate.
Just when Zhang Hanqing thought that he was done, Huang Kan's face changed and he said hummingly: "So, you are advocating imperialism?" Zhang Hanqing kept saying that he wanted to centralize power and imitate Germany, didn't he just want China to follow the path of the German Empire? ? This is in line with the popular propaganda of constitutional monarchy that takes the imperial system as its core and follows the old path of German revival. It was a sensitive moment and he couldn't be ignored.
But Zhang Hanqing is hard to answer. He knew that the path of imperialism was wrong, and he was preparing to retreat, but when asked in public, he could not deny it. Otherwise, the situation that he and Zhang Zuolin had painstakingly arranged would be broken in advance. Well, if you have to show off and just keep a low profile in class, why do you have to be in the limelight?
But he absolutely cannot admit it. This will confirm his identity as an "imperialist lackey". You must know that the madman Huang's master opposite him is still under house arrest for opposing Lao Yuan's proclaimed emperor. If I dare to admit it, just Huang Kan's saliva will wipe out all my efforts: with Huang Kan's academic status, the history books of the future will inevitably record the anecdotes of my argument with him. No matter how I defend myself afterwards, I can only give it to Huang Kan. The image of a political opportunist who adapts to the changing circumstances of future generations will be greatly lost!
Hu Renyuan’s heart also skipped a beat. Others didn't know who Zhang Hanqing was, but he knew it very well. The Zhang family and his son are now sparing no effort in advocating for President Yuan to proclaim himself emperor. This is why the President asked him to travel thousands of miles to study. However, Master and Disciple Huang Kan were staunch followers of the Dishui faction and swore to defend it with their lives. Originally, this debate had the tendency to turn into a comedy, but Huang Kan's question threatened to spoil it.
"Whether it is an imperial system or not, this is something adults have to consider, but it is not the key to today's problems in China. It is a good thing to have academic disputes. If a hundred schools of thought can flourish and contend, it will promote academic research. But in a weak China , too much rigidity in boiler-style discussions will weaken the remaining strength of China. This is why I have always believed that centralization of power is needed. Centralize all powers, political, military, and economic, mobilize the people, and concentrate on doing big things. , China has a way out. Xueliang’s view is that as long as it is conducive to the improvement of China’s comprehensive national strength, conducive to social stability and people’s happiness, and conducive to the development of social productivity, it is a good system and should be supported and implemented. Anyway No matter what others say, Xueliang will adhere to this standard unwaveringly."
????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of his mind, he saw Hu Renyuan's white hair and then thought of his age advantage, and had the nerve to say "let the adults consider it" to avoid expressing his stance directly. Is it good to implement a constitutional monarchy? This is actually a false proposition. There are fundamental reasons why China's feudal society has existed for more than two thousand years. China is a large country with many people, and the Confucian idea of ??great unity is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. A strong central government is far more powerful and efficient than a loose alliance.
By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, China was still a very important country in the world. It was only in modern times that ideological backwardness led to a weak country and poor people. This does not negate the monarchy system. To say that the system is not good, Japan also has an emperor system. Why can people rise up in one fell swoop? Even during the leadership period of the gcd, the country must still be governed according to the principles of centralism.
As for the current hot topic of evaluation of "imperialism", its advantages and disadvantages do not lie in the system itself, but through the propaganda of the Westernization Movement and the Revolution of 1911, the Qing imperial system has become a stinky piece of shit, and everyone attributes China's backwardness to this. Therefore, most of the opponents believed that Yuan Shikai was reversing the course of history, and that's why they started to oppose it.
Whether it is right or not, the "three benefits" are really the best indicators for evaluation, and the truth is universally applicable. This is the historical answer condensed by the helmsman of later generations of China's reform and opening up with his decades of political wisdom. How can Huang Kan, a mere scholar, refute it?
Under Huang Kan’s surprise, under the admiration of Peking University students, and under Zhu Guangmu’s star-chasing gaze, Zhang Hanqing felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders for the first time. Whether he can achieve these three beneficial goals in establishing himself and sending a message to China is the significance of evaluating his time travel.

During the period when Zhang Hanqing was "cultivating himself" at Peking University, history still did not stop its process. On November 25, the fourth year of the Republic of China, the National People's Congress in name only was held in each province. Three days later, each province began voting to determine the state system. Zhang Hanqing's cheap father, Zhang Zuolin, was also present at the Fengtian meeting, and the decision to establish a constitutional monarch was unanimously passed.
When the conference was held, it was even more confusing. The most interesting thing is that there are only four words "Constitutional Monarchy" printed on the ballot, and the representatives attending the meeting can only express their approval or opposition. There were armed military police everywhere in and around the venue. Delegates cannot whisper to each other or they will be yelled at.
On November 30, voting nationwide basically ended. On December 11, the Senate began to check votes. The result of the vote check was that there were a total of 1,993 representatives in the country, and 1,993 people were in favor of constitutional monarchy. The vote was unanimously passed, with not a single opposing vote and not a single abstention. In fact, if you think about it, if someone points a gun at your head, who would dare to vote against or abstain?
Not only was the constitutional monarchy unanimously approved on the ballot, but the senators also received letters of recommendation from each province. The most ridiculous thing is that in so many provinces across the country, the words on the endorsement books are exactly the same: "With the will of the people, I respectfully proclaim the current President Yuan Shikai as the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, and entrust the emperor with the supreme and complete sovereignty of the country. Heaven builds the ultimate, and it will be passed down to all generations.”
These 45 simple words are word for word. Even people without any political experience can tell that someone has definitely done something behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could people from so many provinces write down recommendations so uniformly?
In fact, as early as October 23, Yuan Shikai’s confidant Zhu Qiqian sent a secret telegram to all provinces. Regarding the content of the recommendation book, absolutely not a single word could be changed, and all provinces must write exactly the same. However, the more this happens, the more Yuan Shikai's ambition to become emperor is exposed.
On the 29th of the same month, the Shanghai French Concession patrol house seized the evening issue of the "Patriot News". The main writer Wang Xuehen was escorted to the "Interrogation Office" of the Judicial Office, and the publisher Jian Shu and others absconded. In the same month, Guangzhou's "Notice" was banned for publishing news against the imperial system, and its chief writer Zhu Tongru was wanted. This year, China’s first Telecommunications Regulations involving radio and broadcasting regulations were also promulgated. Speaking of which, this seems quite prophetic in its emphasis on cultural control. However, since this law was promulgated under the White Terror, its historical significance is greatly reduced.
But there are people in the National People's Congress who are dissatisfied with Zhang Hanqing: his father is one of the founders of the "National Petition Group" and the central figure and capable person who actually promoted the imperial system. In the hearts of anti-Yuan people, that is a very evil crime. The father's debt was repaid by the son, and Zhang Hanqing was also taken into consideration, but he didn't know it. Also, for a young man who is only fifteen years old, insisting on getting involved with politics, is he a bit overestimating his abilities?
Everything seems to have nothing to do with Zhang Hanqing. No matter how turbulent the wind is outside, I will remain unmoved. In Beijing, without General Cai there, Zhang Hanqing also kept a low profile for a while. He went to class on weekdays, watched theater or music with Red Peony on weekends, and laughed and teased beauties in the air conditioner. In this way, our Shaoshuai Zhang also spent a period of boredom. It’s such a pleasant day to enjoy the fragrance and greenery.
"However, we are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid of thieves caring about us. Zhang Hanqing's low-profile during this period cannot change his high-profile performance some time ago. In just a few months, he beat up Duan Qirui's nephew Duan Hongye for a woman, refuted Yuan Keding's face for his temperament Yuan Kewen, and made plans to make a fortune. Yang Du stabbed himself and broke into a brothel in order to defile himself. If all these are not enough to be beaten, then he advocated for the imperial system and finally allowed the imperial system to be realized legally. For those who opposed Yuan, it was indeed a heinous crime.
No, a group of people in Laohuai Hutong are discussing enthusiastically how to show off the influential figures who have been active in the political arena recently. After all the talk, everyone's eyes are fixed on Zhang Hanqing.
Yes, it is clear that he is the son of Zhang Zuolin, the strongman outside the Pass, and an important promoter of the imperial system. But the key is that he does not have strict defenses in the capital like others - he has no official position, only a few people who work in Fengtian. The bodyguard who talks a lot has no sophistication and no awareness of precautions. This is a good target to start with, as it can both cause a sensation and be more certain.
Everyone had their own ideas as to how far they should go, and the conversation was lively for a while. Speaking of hands-on, there are countless versions: the flying knife and book-leaving style, the bow-and-arrow shooting style, and the shouting style. Anyway, all the jokes that can be used in old martial arts novels are used; there are also poisoning methods, kidnapping methods, Cold gun skills, to name a few.
Just as he was talking, his mouth went dry, and suddenly someone sneered "hehehe", which put out everyone's enthusiasm. When everyone looked at it, they saw a young man leaning against the door and tapping his legs. This man was only in his twenties, but he wore thick-rimmed glasses. His sideburns were shaved and he lookedHe was a bit gentle, but he couldn't hide the fierce murderous look in his eyes. He was fiddling with a bunch of keys aimlessly in one hand, appearing absent-minded to everyone's words. The few sneers just now came from his mouth.
Among this group of people, a middle-aged man who was obviously the person in charge seemed a little unconvinced: "Jiuguang is very resourceful. If you have any great ideas, you might as well tell them and let everyone listen."
This young man named Jiu Guang said calmly: "I don't dare to take it seriously, but you are just doing the math. How old is the Zhang Hanqing we are going to attack?"
“Well, I haven’t cared about this issue yet. But when everyone thought about it for a moment, something was wrong in their eyes.
The young man said calmly: "You all have your own opinions on whether Zhang Hanqing should be killed, so I can't comment. But we are a bunch of adults gathered together to discuss how to deal with a baby. We can't afford to lose this person if word spreads. Anyway, I, Jiuguang, will not participate."
There were two people who laughed in agreement. Yes, after all, the target is a young man under the age of sixteen. Unlike the countless political brokers who advocate imperialism in China, he does not have any power and only relies on the power of his father behind him. If you are cruel to such a child (Zhang Hanqing: I am already sixteen years old, right?), it will be shameful to the world, and it will reduce the justice and positive energy of the action.
The middle-aged man also felt that something was wrong. He asked the young man: "Jiuguang, what do you think we should do?"
Jiuguang smiled slightly: "What's the problem? Just knock on the door and give me a warning."
I dare say he has no psychological burden at all for doing such a thing. It seems that the few guards around Zhang Hanqing are nothing to him. No matter what his background is, he can have such heroic spirit, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.
????????? Others echoed and said: "This matter must be done by Jiu Guang."
The young man who called himself Jiuguang smiled and said: "I will meet Zhang Hanqing tonight. It would be fine if I could make him repent, otherwise a lesson will be inevitable." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel .com
Chapter 98 Questioning
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
December 15th is a beautiful and sunny day. The continuous rain and snow weather finally passed, and the sun still rose.
In the past two weeks, Zhang Hanqing has experienced the most turbulent moment in politics, and the turmoil of the past few days has been slightly dispersed in the capital because of a warm sun. On this rare day, Zhang Hanqing could not go out with Red Peony because she was very worried about her situation.
This Cai E is so dishonest. He patted his butt and walked away safely, but how to clean up the mess he left behind? Now everyone in Beijing knows that Cai E has deceived everyone with his self-destructive methods. The two people they care about most are Xiao Fengxian and Zhang Hanqing.
" Xiao Fengxian was a prostitute. In the minds of the people of the time, she was a mother if she had breasts, so she didn't mind being cheated. However, Zhang Hanqing was dragged into this whirlpool and was ridiculed as a "bastard" and a "back-up boy" by the people of the time. At some point, the storyteller under the overpass also came up with a joke about "General Zhaowei's beauty scheme is a national embarrassment, and a romantic young man can't do anything to Han Qing with his romantic eyes closed." He vividly described how Cai E used the little fairy as a cover to allow his family to The story of safely leaving Beijing, reducing surveillance, and how to use Zhang Hanqing's background to escape danger calmly. In the story, he is portrayed as a rich, stupid, lustful and shameless person, which brings him into disrepute.
But he still couldn't tell the difference, and he gritted his teeth as if he had been deceived, which only increased people's ridiculous perception of him.
What is even more miserable is that the Madam of Yunjiban appealed to the court again, asking Zhang Hanqing to "return" the red peony. As for Xiao Fengxian, because of her relationship with Cai E, people in Beijing privately praised her as "good" and called her "a chivalrous woman". She was already a legendary existence. The madam didn't dare to offend the public, and the beauty of Xiao Fengxian was still much inferior to that of Red Peony, so she just stared at Zhang Hanqing.
This time Zhang Hanqing did not have such good luck. Within two days, the court once again ruled that Zhang Hanqing's ransom of five thousand was too small and was suspected of being a forced purchase: "Red Peony should return to Yunjiban first, and then wait for the amount of one hundred thousand to be paid." Discuss with the host." The madam is even more arrogant: "I won't let you go even if you give me two hundred thousand taels! Let's see who will support you!"
The old bustard and his men forcibly dragged Red Peony out of the courtyard. Red Peony cried so hard that she struggled to her death. It took a lot of effort to find this lovely person, but in the blink of an eye they had to go their separate ways. It is said that love lasts for a long time. The warm bed these days has made Zhang Hanqing have a natural desire to protect Red Peony. After all, this is the first woman who has taken the initiative to follow him since time travel, regardless of her previous identity. , now, she is his.
In his own territory, Zhang Hanqing has a natural sense of superiority. Anyway, it is self-destruction, anyway, it is a dispute over a woman. If it is spread, it will only add more words to his love affair. Moreover, now that "political reputation" is no longer guaranteed, for the sake of women, men must stand up for themselves no matter what. In the future, when the truth is revealed to the world, others will surely compare his hard work to General Cai's secret crossing into Chencang. However, if a woman is robbed, it will be a stain no matter what, and he will inevitably live up to his reputation as a "romantic young marshal."
Zhang Hanqing acted like a playboy, and shouted loudly: "What the hell! How dare you come to my house and rob civilian girls! Gao Jiyi, Tan Hai, you are all dead!"
Gao Jiyi is his adjutant, a character who is fearless in history; Tan Hai is his captain of the guard, who is responsible for protecting his safety, and everyone knows Zhang Hanqing's intentions. Now that the master is speaking, of course he will not give in too much. The dozen guards who followed Zhang Hanqing were all selected from Zhang Zuolin's bodyguards. How could ordinary thugs be their opponents? In just a few rounds, the Madam's men were completely wiped out. Even the Madam was not spared. He was punched by someone in the melee, and half of his face instantly turned blue.
She is so pampered, when has she ever suffered this kind of pain? At that time, he shouted to the sky and the ground: "The court has already sentenced you, but you still bully others. Is there any law left?" Then he cried to the policeman who came to pronounce the sentence: "I want to sue Zhang for assaulting people in broad daylight and forcibly Steal the women of the people!”
While we were busy talking, another group of people came to the alley. This group of people, Zhang Hanqing, are all familiar with them: the brothers from the "Capital Law Enforcement Division" are here again.
It is said to be the "Law Enforcement Department", but in fact it does not pay attention to civil affairs. However, the people in Beijing still talk about this agency with disdain, and the madam is no exception. She watched with wide eyes as this group of people got closer and closer. Finally, when they reached Zhang Hanqing's courtyard, someone smiled slightly and said, "Han Qing, Lei Mou came to disturb me personally."
??Lei? personally? The person who can say this should be Lei Zhenchun, whose full name is the boss of the "Gyeonggi Military and Political Law Enforcement Department" and who is named General Zhenwei of the General Mansion.
I don’t have a deep impression of Lei Zhenchun, but I once saw him mention the guest couplet when he paid homage to Jiangbei Admiral: “My family is poor and I have thousands of hooks, so I can’t catch my close relatives and friends.”If a person is rich and powerful, he can't defeat the bastard and his grandson with ten thousand guns. "That is a very famous couplet. It talks about his family's feelings about interpersonal relationships when they were poor and then rich, and thus satirizes the harshness of the world. The words are rough and rational, but a bit excessive, but it also shows his extremeness.
The madam obviously had an instinctive fear of these people. She wanted to retreat, but she still wanted to regain her position. She yelled with some reluctance: "I don't believe there is no reasonable place in the world. I will go to the court to sue you for raping a girl. You are putting the law at ease!"
"Have you done enough to defile yourself like this?" Zhang Hanqing still looked like a ruffian: "If I were afraid of you, write the character Zhang upside down!"
As soon as his face changed, he walked towards Lei Zhenchun with a smile, raised his leg to salute: "My nephew, please pay my respects to my uncle." Although Zhang Zuolin and Lei Zhenchun did not have a close friendship, they were both one of the generals who protected Yuan, so they still had a close relationship. According to seniority, he also has to be called "Uncle".
Lei Zhenchun has many "crimes" against this boy, but this is the first time he has met him. With his many years of ability to recognize people, the boy in front of him was able to send and receive messages with ease. He was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. However, things still need to be done on the scene, and he kindly helped Zhang Hanqing up: "Don't be too polite, Hanqing. I'm here today just to ask you a few questions. It's a matter of great importance, so you have to answer truthfully." A few words The first sentence of a sentence is like a spring breeze, but the last word is cold and stern. It is difficult for him to develop this skill and be able to change the tone and emotion in the words.
"In front of the number one spy chief of the Republic of China, Zhang Hanqing was lying if he said he was not afraid. There was a kind of majesty in Lei Zhenchun's movements that made him a little breathless. Is this official authority?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The "Capital Law Enforcement Division" had been up many times since yesterday, investigating various signs of Cai E's "escape" from Xiao Fengxian and himself. Xiao Fengxian is worthy of being an actress, and she showed her grief at being deceived in a timely manner. In addition, she really has no inquiry value. She only talks about trivial matters all day long, and has very little involvement in Cai E's grand plan. It was just a rough note, but there was no trouble.
The real trouble is yourself. I think the first friend I made when I came to Beijing was Cai E. The two of them traveled through thick and thin to almost every corner of Beijing. Zhang Hanqing wouldn't believe it if he said he had nothing to say.
But Zhang Hanqing insisted that Cai E was just using him as a cover, and the purpose of getting close to him was because his father, Zhang Zuolin, was a strong supporter of the imperial system. It was easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree. I was young and made careless friends, and I was deceived by accident. He also gritted his teeth and said: "I always thought that Cai E was the great general of the Republic of China, and he always supported the imperial system, so he must be reliable. Who knew that this man was so scheming and had ulterior motives?"
The person who asked this question was none other than Lei Zhenchun, the top manager of the "Capital Law Enforcement Office" and a close confidant of Yuan Shikai. He was ordered to come here and wanted to get relevant information from Zhang Ciqing. With many years of fox hunting career, he even vaguely smelled the conspiracy in Zhang Hanqing. He didn't believe Zhang Hanqing's words.
After all, the news Zhang Hanqing made in Beijing was somewhat unusual: if Zhang Zuolin was behind the poaching of Han Linchun and others, Cai E's praise of Zhang Hanqing might have been an act of flattery, but the praise of Jiang Baili, another military leader in the world, was really It is inexplicable. It is definitely not something ordinary people can do to visit and persuade Zhou Xuexi, Liang Shiyi, and Xiong Xiling to contribute money and efforts to Fengtian. What Lei Zhenchun meant was that Zhang Hanqing was a rare young figure, but he was kept in the dark by Cai E for half a year. This matter was extremely unusual and absolutely unbelievable.
Cai E had been hiding for a long time, and he hit the target with one strike. Almost everyone in Beijing thought it was impossible, but he did it, and he did it flawlessly. So much so that President Yuan first didn't believe it, and then became furious - at this time, Lao Yuan had not thought that a mere Cai E could overturn the imperial carpet he was sitting on, and even indirectly kill him.
If the same is true for Zhang Hanqing, then why? It can only be said that Zhang Zuolin has a problem! Thinking of Zhang Zuolin's jumping up and down some time ago, is it just for a "viscount" who has no luck? Even if Lei Zhenchun was killed, he would not believe it. However, he had no evidence. Zhang Zuolin was now considered a celebrity of Lao Yuan. He did not dare to throw cold water on Lao Yuan's eager expectations. He only hoped to open a wedge in Zhang Hanqing's hands.
But later Zhang Hanqing said, "Cai E left, and Madam Yunjiban took advantage of him losing his backstage to take back the red peony." Then he murmured, "What should I do now that he's gone? "His lost look made Lei Zhenchun not want to ask any more questions. A woman actually made him so heroic and short of breath, which made Lei Zhenchun drunk. He was even a little shaken: "It's not very credible for such a dandy to say that he has any conspiracy?" He patted Zhang Hanqing on the back: "Hanqing, just tell me what comes to mind. I'll come back tomorrow."
As soon as he walked away, Zhang Hanqing's confused expression became resolute. He wiped his sweat with lingering fear: "It seems that this person is still very doubtful about my performance. He is a difficult person to deal with." Thinking of the performance, he He smiled in his heart: "Do you really think that I am a dandy who can't get out of the crowd of women? But at this time, there seems to be no better role than playing a dandy, so I will play the red peony card!" He asked The worried Hong Mudan said: "Don't worry about what Yun Jiban can do to you. As long as I am here, they can't change the world!" In a flash, she said worriedly: "How should I prove myself?" (Remember this site) Website: www.hlnovel.com)Khan: "It seems that this person is still very doubtful about my performance. He is a difficult person to deal with." Thinking of the performance, he smiled inwardly: "I really thought that I couldn't get out if I got into a crowd of women. A dandy? But at this time, there seems to be no better role than playing a dandy, so I will play the Red Peony card!" He said to the worried Red Peony: "Don't worry about what Yun Jiban can do to you. As long as I'm here, they can't change the world!" In an instant, he said worriedly: "How can I prove myself?" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 99 Knock on the door
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
There is no need for him to prove it, the opportunity will come when it comes. In the evening, a young man Shi Shiran walked into the house where Zhang Hanqing was. The guard on duty at the door was surprised by his calm demeanor and asked politely: "What's your name, sir? Do you have an appointment?"
In the capital, the Sixth Prince Xiao Zhang associates with people who are either rich or noble, and the civil and military officials are all upper-class figures in Beiyang. Under the influence of the influence, his bodyguards have also become more and more popular, saying "Your Excellency" and saying "Sir". Be a gentleman.
The young man said calmly: "I don't have an appointment. You go and report that Wang Jiuguang of Hefei is visiting."
When the guards saw that he was very impressive and had a very arrogant tone, they thought he was a big shot and did not dare to neglect him. He hurriedly greeted him and said, "Sir, please come to the living room and sit down for a while. I will inform the Major General immediately." As he let in, he thought to himself: " What kind of big shot is this Wang Jiuguang?"
Zhang Hanqing was also puzzled. He had never heard of such a figure in the capital. Even in history, he seemed to have no impression of him. Of course, this history has been fine-tuned now. But if you have nothing to do, it's okay to meet for a while, and you can promote talents in an eclectic way.
However, after he met Zhang Jiuguang, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed: this man wore glasses with large black frames, his hair was very short and parted in the middle, and he looked a bit civilized. It's just the flash of brilliance in his eyes that makes people dare not look at him, which is extremely inconsistent with his age of only about 20 years old.
Live in its place and nourish its energy. After seeing the magnanimity of Yuan Shikai, Jiang Baili, Liang Shiyi, Xiong Xiling and other powerful people in Beijing, and hanging out with Cai E for several months, he has become immune to such things as majesty, domineering, heroism, and treachery, and he doesn't care. There is an extra bit of, um, murderous aura. That's right.
He still had the suspicious eyes of Boss Lei from the Law Enforcement Division lingering in his mind, so he was a little absent-minded towards this young man who was older than him, so he spoke very directly: "Mr. Wang Jiuguang? It seems that Xuexue doesn't know you."
Wang Jiuguang said calmly: "Yes. I just heard that Major General Zhang and his son are strong advocates of constitutional monarchy."
Zhang Hanqing thought it was a test, and he always said he was used to it, so he blurted out a set of remarks: "The monarchy is what everyone expects. My father and I are just complying with public opinion, not to mention advocating. The people's hearts have their own measure."
Wang Jiuguang's eyes turned cold: "You have always been very close to General Cai Songpo. He has already raised a banner in Yunnan to rebel against Yuan. Do you naturally think that he has done something wrong?"
Zhang Hanqing cursed secretly, this guy is so unprofessional. He really thinks I am a child. If he wants to deceive me, why would he not ask so directly? And the timing was too coincidental. As soon as the Law Enforcement Department took the lead, you were right behind, beating the drum, and you didn't choose a good time. He always thought that this person was a secret agent of the Capital Law Enforcement Department, so he wanted to "whitewash" him, so he took advantage of the snake's shadow and naturally became rude in his words: "You can judge what is right and wrong. Who are you? What identity do you use to speak to me? ?”
Wang Jiuguang suddenly became proud: "I am a conscientious Chinese! Yuan Shikai is so arrogant and contrary to nature that he wants to single-handedly destroy the hard-won situation since the founding of the Republic of China. Even the Chinese people cannot agree to this!"
?Joke, when is this? What is the occasion? What is the situation? The general trend of history is already like this. No ordinary person can restore it. How can it be changed by a few words of an angry young man? Regardless of whether the other party is true or false, Zhang Hanqing will never be a reckless person who goes against the trend of history. However, now and in the near future, he and his father will still be of use to Lao Yuan. It is definitely not a wise move to betray him at this time. What's more, there is another possibility, that is, the other party is a tester sent by Lao Yuan or Lao Lei!
He also felt the fierce look in this man's eyes. His small body could handle Hong Mudan, but he would be at a disadvantage if he really had to fight an adult. No matter he is an enemy or a friend, it is not suitable to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him. It is better to take this opportunity to drive him away and stay away from the nest of right and wrong.
And what I hate the most is the gimmick that kidnaps all Chinese people at every turn, such as "China is the best xx", "China's strongest xx", "universal husband", what the hell! Can just a few people jumping up and down represent China and all Chinese people? Is this "China's strongest" just randomly judged by a bunch of decent people? There are also those "universal husbands". Your mother likes it, your sister likes it, and even your wife likes it. If you like it, you will use it to show your husband and hide your husband. No one cares about it. Don't bring everyone else with you!
Looking at Tan Hai, Zhang Hanqing made an angry gesture: "National affairs are decided by all parties. You are just one person, and you cannot represent all the people! You and I are both bystanders, and we cannot make a strong resistance to the general trend of the country. This This time, I just think it is your personal thoughts that are expressed in private, and I will not pursue it for the time being. If you still want to impose your personal thoughts on me, the law enforcement office in Beijing often comes here, and you can talk to them if you have the opportunity.see a visitor out! "
Whether you are a friend or an enemy, you must say these things. He is a friend, so tell him, this is a place of right and wrong, and the Law Enforcement Department is a frequent visitor, so why should he throw himself into a trap? The wind is so tight now! They are enemies. There is no basis for this statement.
Wang Jiuguang suddenly became angry: This boy, I think he is too young and doesn’t want to be accused of being bullied by others. Who would have thought that he is so ignorant and stubborn! He pushed away Tan Hai's "treating" hand and quickly took out a pistol from his arms and pointed it at Zhang Hanqing: "Want to cling to Yuan Thief and enjoy the glory and wealth? I'm afraid you have no chance!"
This time something unexpected happened. Tan Hai and others had lived too comfortably in the capital. In addition, Wang Jiuguang's arrival was sudden and he was confused by his elegant temperament. The guards were all a little slow in reacting. Looking at the black muzzle of the gun, Gao Jiyi's face turned green when he heard the sound: If the young marshal makes a mistake, they don't have to go back to Fengtian! As the captain of Zhang Hanqing's bodyguard, Tan Hai has the greatest responsibility, but he has been separated by Wang Jiuguang. Even if he wanted to take action, he would not do anything. He could only say anxiously: "If you have something to say, tell me, what are you doing!" while trying to get to Zhang Hanqing's side. Lean. If possible, he would not hesitate to block the bullets fired at the major general.
To be honest, this is the second time in this life that a real gun has been pointed at my head. I am not afraid that this is not a normal person. Wang Jiuguang proudly saw the panic flashing in Zhang Hanqing's eyes: No matter how awesome this kid is, he is just a young kid! (Zhang Hanqing: This is a reaction that normal people would have, okay? If it were me pointing a gun at you, it would be weird if you didn’t freak out!)
Tan Hai could not move faster than a bullet, so Zhang Hanqing wisely stopped Tan Hai's move. Although Wang Jiuguang had drawn his gun, it was not yet time for Tu Qiong's dagger to show up. If Tan Hai forced himself to do it, he might have contributed to the other party's murderous intention, causing things to get out of hand. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 100 Under the Gun of the Killer King
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
After calming down the excitement a little, Zhang Hanqing pointed his gun at the gun and asked calmly: "There are so many people in favor of the imperial system in the whole capital, why do you want to target me?" This was what he was thinking. Ni Ma, I have no grievances against you, so why do you have to find trouble with me? The muzzle of this gun is dark and scary. The feeling of aiming at someone and being targeted at it is indeed very different. At this moment, he had secretly sworn that his greatest achievement in this life was to never allow anyone to point a gun at him again, no matter what!
It’s really hard to reconcile yourself to a time-travel trip, only to die before you could even use it.
Wang Jiuguang had already figured out the bottom line before: "Your father helped the tyrants to do evil, and everyone found it and punished him. At a young age, you are indiscriminate, but when you grow up, you will become a disaster. Today I am eliminating harm for the people and evil for the country!"
When did I become a traitor to the country again? Zhang Hanqing smiled bitterly, "Ni Ma, that's not how you praise people."
Bite the bullet, he thought about the solution: "With so many military and political officials inside and outside the Great Wall, none of them jumped out to oppose President Yuan. My father is just a general. What else can he do except follow the crowd? Besides, without me, Zhang Xueliang, President Yuan You will still be his emperor. Since you have this ability, why not go and kill Yuan Shikai, so that no one will talk about the imperial system anymore, wouldn't it be better?"
Yes, historically Zhang Xueliang was still studying in Fengtian at this time, and Lao Yuan also became emperor. In a sense, history really does not depend on human will.
After a pause, Zhang Hanqing pretended to suddenly realize: "Oh, I understand. You saw that I was young and easy to bully, so you wanted to use me as a cover so that you could imitate Wang Jingwei's feat of assassinating Zai Feng! But I'm not the right person. Respecting the powerful regent, you are not a warrior. If this word spreads, I don’t believe your reputation will improve." He tilted his head and thought for a while, but he still couldn't remember that there was a person named "Wang Jiuguang" in history.
Wang Jiuguang was speechless. Zhang Hanqing was telling the truth. He did not sneer at his accomplices' attempt to assassinate a "child". His pretentious behavior was just to scare him. Otherwise, ten Zhang Hanqings would also be finished. But if he really wants to succeed, for a person like him who is full of chivalry, he will inevitably be suspected of bullying the small, and he will be ridiculed if word spreads!
After thinking about it again and again, Wang Jiuguang finally gave up the idea of ??"doing justice for heaven". This move made countless beauties who were "suffered" later shout: "Justice, brave man, you did the right thing." The Japanese who suffered from it cursed: "Why didn't you do it? History wouldn't be like this This is it!" This also made historians who studied this public case sweat: "What a danger!"
Seeing the other party holding the gun in his arms, Zhang Hanqing breathed a sigh of relief. But since the man was still close to him, and his action of drawing a gun was not ordinary, he hinted to the guards not to draw their guns, and gave up the chance to provoke the other party again - why cause trouble again?
Wang Jiuguang didn't look at the eager guards and said calmly: "Because you are a child today, I will not touch you, but you are also a person who has read books and knows what history is and what alchemy history is. If you have a chance, Talk to your father and persuade him to step back from the brink, otherwise, the bullets that have not been discharged today will be handed over to him tomorrow!"
Zhang Hanqing smiled, he was very pleased that the alarm was lifted. Anyone can say whatever they want about the situation, just don't really do anything about it. In any case, the other party also has good intentions for the country, and this should not be false. He smiled slightly at Wang Jiuguang and said: "The Duke of Zhou is afraid of the day of rumors, and Wang Mang is a humble corporal. He goes to any mountain and sings whatever song. Cai Songpo's acquaintance of the year has its merits."
There is some truth to this. Wang Jiuguang glanced at him for a few times, then suddenly showed his face and said, "I hope Cai Songpo didn't misjudge the person."
Zhang Hanqing said categorically: "Look forward in everything."
He waved to Gao Jiyi and others who secretly took the gun, and said to Wang Jiuguang: "Although you and I have never met, I can feel your loyalty to the country. However, the courage of an ordinary man cannot change the current situation. China is weak. The current situation in China cannot be put on the right track by assassinating a few people. Let him make a fuss about Beijing. If he didn't make such a fuss, how would the Chinese people know that there is something hidden under the slogan of a strong country and a prosperous people? The thick black heart?" (Yuan Shikai: You are not allowed to say that about me behind my back!)
Wang Jiuguang understood everything. He is a smart and discerning person, how come he doesn't understand Zhang Hanqing's painstaking efforts? Since the fire cannot be extinguished, simply add a handful of firewood to make the fire stronger, burn faster, and speed up the time for rebirth.
He nodded, never expecting that a child could see things more thoroughly and profoundly than him. He thought for a moment and asked quietly: "Is this your idea, or your father's idea? Or General Songpa's idea?"
Zhang Hanqing is modestDi smiled and said: "Everyone's idea."
Wang Jiuguang suddenly cupped his hands and bowed to Zhang Hanqing solemnly: "I'd like to apologize to you for offending me. Please retire first and see you later." Without even looking at the guards around him, he turned around and left. If you really wave your sleeves, you won't take away a single cloud.
Zhang Hanqing pursed his lips and made a ***** gesture. This must be a character like Zhang Ziqiang, the king of thieves of the century. If used well, it will be a great help. If used improperly, it will be bloody. In the Republic of China, who had such ability and courage? He quickly filtered it in his brain, and with some hesitation and some tentativeness, he shouted at the man's back: "Wang Yaqiao?!"
Wang Jiuguang suddenly looked back. He looked at Zhang Hanqing in surprise, not understanding that this person had nothing to do with him. Before coming to Beijing, he didn't even know that Zhang Hanqing existed, but the other party actually told him about his background! ——If you know his name, you also know everything about him. He is Wang Yaqiao, also known as Jiuguang.
Zhang Hanqing was very proud, he was really right. The most famous assassination king in the history of the Republic of China, the character who once kept Chiang Kai-shek awake at night, unexpectedly came into his sight like this. He asked in disbelief: "Are you really Wang Yaqiao?"
Wang Jiuguang hesitated for a moment, and then admitted in an honest manner: "Yes, it's true. How did you know?"
Zhang Hanqing suddenly laughed and said somewhat mysteriously: "book." He read Wang Yaqiao's story from a book. Being extremely happy and uttering foreign sentences was one of his bad habits in his previous life. Now, he used it unexpectedly. Thinking of myself walking under the gun of the King of Killers, I couldn't help but give myself a thumbs up.
Wang Yaqiao heard "No." Well, the son of the general opposite must have his secret channels, and there are some things he is unwilling to tell me. Yes, after all, I’m not familiar with it yet. But, it was so unbelievable that for some reason, he was in awe of this little general.
Mystery has always been the source of awe. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 101: Misfortune and blessing depend on it

At this time, Wang Yaqiao was wanted by the governor Ni Sichong for forming a socialist party in Anhui, so he had no choice but to flee to Shanghai with his ordinary comrades. After arriving in Shanghai, Wang Yaqiao worked hard during the day and slept on the road at night covering newspapers. Despite poverty, he continued to pursue revolution. Yuan Shikai's retrograde measures angered this man who was bent on pursuing revolution. He came to Beijing from Shanghai to see if he could be of benefit to the revolution of the Republic of China.
"However, Lao Yuan is not an easy target. He is also studying where to make a breakthrough based on contacting old comrades. But after all, he was unfamiliar with the people in Beijing. He was like a fish in water in the south, but he had no clue at all when facing the increasingly chaotic situation here. If he didn't really need to open up the situation, he would never approach a kid like Zhang Hanqing—— It's really a shame. Moreover, he had no intention of taking action in the first place, he was just giving a warning.
Seeing that he had guessed correctly, Zhang Hanqing boasted a rare conch: "Not only do I know that your husband is from Shanghai, but I also know that he is very close to Professor Jing. However, it is impossible to establish a real Republic of China regime through assassination. To solve the revolution, The organization should be completely overthrown by armed force, not by killing a single person. This is what Xueliang wants to explore with his husband."
"The Biography of Wang Yaqiao" once said that Wang Yaqiao met Jing Meijiu, a professor at Peking University who advocated anarchism (anarchism) in China, in Shanghai. After that, he began to study Kropotkin's anarchism theory and participated in anarchism. |The Governmentalism Research Group studies how to overthrow all powers in society. Later, Wang Yaqiao devoted himself to assassinating big warlords and big bureaucrats during the era of reactionary government rule. This was actually due to the influence of anarchism.
“ Such a good assassin is definitely top-notch when it comes to underground work. If Zhang Hanqing wants to make a difference in this era, he must use talents in an eclectic way. If he can be recruited under his command, it will be a huge help. Even in history, the Communist Party organized an "anti-corruption section" and put it in charge of Zhou Enlai, a great figure in history. The great man once said: "In order to defeat the enemy, intelligence work is indispensable." He himself is a master in the intelligence community. Master, you know that the white front is an important part.
This man's ability was so great that even Dai Li was in trouble. It is said that Wang Jingwei's death was related to his being shot by Wang Yaqiao. Even if such a person does not become a friend, he must not become an enemy. Otherwise, it’s easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. Being stared at by such a person will make you feel uneasy when sleeping, right?
Wang Yaqiao was very surprised. Regardless of whether he could accept what Zhang Hanqing said, the accuracy of this intelligence source made him palpitate. People usually put a mysterious veil on things that they cannot see through. This is how myths come from. Now, young Zhang Hanqing has cast a halo in his heart.
Striking while the iron is hot, Zhang Hanqing began to lobby: "The situation in Beijing is so chaotic now, which will lead to a long period of chaos in China in the future. My father and I will rest and recuperate outside the country, which will be the foundation for China's prosperity. Mr., with his skills, if Don’t give up, please come with me to the Northeast in the future. The Japanese and Russian forces there are at odds with each other, which is exactly where you, sir, can use your skills.”
Wang Yaqiao was deep in thought, a little moved, but after all, he was a relatively mature revolutionary in thought, and he didn't know Zhang Hanqing well, so of course he wouldn't hand over his body rashly. However, he was still touched by Zhang Hanqing's words and said: "I have decided to follow Mr. Sun Yixian. Hanqing's kindness is appreciated by Jiuguang. But if there is a fate in the future, I will help you in Shanghai." A helping hand."
Zhang Hanqing still respects this lovely messed-up hero, if not for anything else, just because of his dedication to the country and his nature of killing evil and promoting good. But he doesn't like the way he conducts his business by assassinating people, because this is unacceptable to any mature society. Xun Yue, an excerpt from the collection, said: "Those who establish a strong spirit, achieve prestige and blessings, and establish personal relationships to become stronger than others are called knight-errants." Han Zi said: "Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, while chivalry violates prohibitions with force." Rulers have always been Don't like people like this to appear.
Zhang Hanqing doesn’t like it either. Because such a ranger is, seriously speaking, a fool. Most of the time, he only acts based on his own pleasure and temporary anger, without caring about the consequences. Therefore, it is difficult to predict his behavior, and it is difficult to control his mood and anger. Like Wang Yaqiao, because Duan Qirui's political style was not compatible with Sun Yixian, he wanted to assassinate him; the battle between Jiangsu and Zhejiang was to eliminate the direct iron man of the Anhui clique, Shanghai Police Chief Xu Guoliang, he sent people to carry out the assassination; the fourth son of the Republic of China, Lu Xiaojia and Shanghai gang boss Huang Jinrong were jealous of the actor, so he was invited to kidnap Huang; later he became addicted to assassinations, and he was involved in people from Japan, the Kuomintang, and Wang Jingwei. According to the evaluation of Communist Party member Hua Kezhi, who was also on the secret front, "Wang Yaxian has neither read Marxism-Leninism thoroughly nor believes in 'God and Country'. He has the idea of ??equality, sympathizes with the working people, and denies all authority." In order to save someone in trouble, he would go bankrupt and spend thousands of dollars; just listen to a few words of respect from others.??, you can also draw your sword to help, regardless of the consequences. He’s a free-spirited, messy guy…”
It is really like this. Because of some of his actions, he came to teach him a lesson when he was unhappy. He really had the style to assassinate the king later. Such a person is cute in his own eyes, but when he is bewitched by the other party to deal with him, he will become a huge threat. In history, a man as bad as Chiang Kai-shek couldn't sleep well even if he heard his name; no one could control a traitor like Wang Jingwei, and he was indirectly shot to death in the end.
In the words of American female journalist Fred Anna: "Wang Tieqiao seems to be an enemy of all politicians. He seems to face the whole world and only shows his personal power. Undoubtedly, Wang Tieqiao's birth means that he has great influence on Chinese leaders. They have put forward more stringent requirements.”
Zhang Hanqing dare not say that he will never have anything to do with him in the future, because no matter from the concept of governing the country to the principles of building an army, he is similar to Sun Yat-sen in appearance but different in spirit. Will one day in the future, when he and Sun Yat-sen have a dispute over something - ——In order to compete for the leadership of the country, the Feng Clan actually fought with the Kuomintang Northern Expedition in its official history——He will become Wang Yaqiao's target.
“I don’t want to have such a day, nor do I want to have a day when he loses his life as a killer in a historical event. Zhang Hanqing said sincerely: "The situation in China cannot be changed by assassinating one or two people. Countless workers struggling on the verge of death cannot get out of their predicament by assassinating someone. The solution for now is to let China has undergone a major change, allowing these poor people to arm themselves and stand up through struggle. In fact, relying on a person like Mr. to run alone will not have much effect."
Wang Yaqiao was quite moved. Looking back on the footsteps I have walked, I can see that they are more vigorous than ripples. The people who followed me either died in a foreign country or died on the road to a foreign country. A group of my own wanted to assassinate the young marshal, but they had no idea that the young marshal was in Cao's camp and his heart was in the Han Dynasty. If it hadn't been for me because the other party was just a child, I would have made a big mistake now, right? So, does all my running around these years have any meaning?
He felt that he was alone. His brothers are naked and following him, what is the result they want? The king's flag changes on the city wall, who is right? Before he was sure, he needed to find a way out for his brothers.
The officialdom is too dark. My hometown, I can’t go back. There is no better place to live than in the big city near the port in the south. Thinking of this, he had the urge to do something big.
Zhang Hanqing knew that he should not force himself. He still had nothing to convince others. He could only regret: If he had this person by his side, he would be a little bolder to do bad things, wouldn't he? Tan Hai is loyal enough to be the captain of the bodyguard, but he is still unable to deal with this kind of close-quarters assassination; Gao Jiyi is smart, but lacks a bit of force. If Wang Yaqiao were to be a personal guard, it would be three layers of protection, namely far, middle and near, similar to a real iron barrel.
He is a little envious of many protagonists who have traveled through time. Once the king's aura is strong, civil servants and generals will flock to his subordinates. Why is it so difficult to be an individual?
With a feeling of farewell, Zhang Hanqing sent Wang Yaqiao outside the hospital. At this time, the setting sun shone in Zhang Hanqing's eyes, making him extremely blurred.
Wang Yaqiao, who was about to walk out of the courtyard, suddenly paused, then quickly turned around and walked towards him. Zhang Hanqing thought that his enthusiasm finally made the other party change his mind. He went to meet him and wanted to have a scene of Crouching Dragon returning to his nest. He heard Wang Yaqiao suddenly shout: "Get out of the way!" Then he felt a strong force knocking him away. Take a few steps.
Before he could react, he heard a loud "bang", as if something sharp and hard object had brushed against his left arm. It hurt like fire, and he couldn't lift his arm at that time.
It should be a bullet, right? When the big change happened, Zhang Hanqing's mind went blank. Usually, the descriptions of gun fights in movies and TV are full of romantic exaggeration. Who knew what it was like to actually get shot? This was probably the first time he had been hit by a bullet in his previous life. Apart from the shock, panic, and pain, he had no time to think about it.
At this time, the guards’ screams, running sounds, gunshot sounds, and bullet loading sounds all seemed to have nothing to do with him. He only felt that his arm was getting more and more painful. When he looked around, he saw that the sleeve of the cotton-padded coat had been punched through, and the cotton wadding inside was exposed. At the same time, it feels warm inside. Is it bleeding? But as soon as the gunshot rang out, Tan Hai, the captain of the guard, reacted quickly. With a military background, he instinctively pulled Zhang Hanqing behind him. At the same time, more guards rushed out, some looking for traces of the assassins, and some blocking Tan Hai and the others. The crowd surrounded Zhang Hanqing and retreated into the house.
Zhang Hanqing was injured by a gunshot. This is a serious matter. Tan Hai felt extremely guilty and quickly checked the injury. When he took off his shirt, he saw that the bullet had passed through the skin closely and scratched out a large piece of skin. So even though he was "bloody", it was just physical pain and no internal injuries. Of course, thanks to Wang Yaqiao's shout and collision, the assassin missed the target in desperation, but Zhang Hanqing might have felt the pain. The assassin missed the target, turned around and ran away, no longer caring at all, he was probably a veteran.
Today, fortunately, he first saw Wang Yayi, and he was accidentally broken by the killer, otherwise it was not so easy to get good. Even though I was frightened by him at first, it was still worth saving my life. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)As soon as the collision occurred, the assassin missed the target in a hurry, and Zhang Hanqing was afraid that he would feel the pain.

But you have to pay it back if you go out to hang out. With Zhang Hanqing taking a bullet for Yuan Shikai, the Zhang family and his son have become outright hardcore in the hearts of anti-Yuan people. As Lao Yuan's good days approached, Zhang Hanqing's heart became heavy. He knew very well how the situation would develop.
It can be described in one word: the river is declining.
Historically, after the fall of Lao Yuan, almost all of his cronies who were running around were wanted, except for those who wanted to please him on both sides. Although the system of the Republic of China did not put lives in danger, politically almost everyone was sentenced to death. The great years that I and my father had spent together could not be wasted following Lao Yuan to death.
They need an opportunity to show the outside world that their father and son's support is just a temporary measure, no different from other people who passively support or oppose it, so that they will not be misunderstood by the outside world as two-faced and politically untrustworthy. Moreover, when Lao Yuan was at the height of his power, it was necessary to stumble him skillfully, otherwise it would be more than enough to deal with Zhang Zuolin as a division commander without Lao Yuan having to step down.
It is said that the big quarrel between him and the old bustard was just a "nonsense" to Yuan Shikai's ears, and Zhang Hanqing began to have some ideas in this regard. It's good to act nonsense. It won't offend anyone to death, and it can give you a satisfactory explanation for your support behavior in the future: Wasn't it just nonsense in the first place?
Zhang Hanqing has experience in making nonsense. First, he was hailed as a dragon and a phoenix among people, and attracted the attention of all walks of life. Then suddenly, the madam made a big fuss, causing him to fall from the sky to the earth. As Cai E successfully escaped by "borrowing" him as a cover, he was collectively ridiculed by everyone again. Now, he is no longer the young genius he was before, and his reputation for his nonsense has spread throughout the city of Beijing.
Because of this incident, Zhu Qiqian, who originally had a good impression of him, also despised him: when he was a young man, he didn't know why, and he felt hurt by Zhongyong, and he didn't even want to visit him. This time it was love, I really thought so.
And his daughters, who originally favored him, are now unwilling to associate with him - although they are flowers in the social circle, they are in noble places, and they are not worthy of his age. Going to whoring lightly? Although the custom of this era was not to be ashamed of visiting prostitutes and it was not illegal to do so, the Zhu family admired Western style and could not accept such indulgent people. Besides, I am a young girl, and it would be okay for me to date Zhang Hanqing, a half-year-old child. But if he went to visit a prostitute, then according to the views of the people at the time, he was already an adult man, so he should be careful about this interaction.
No, when Zhang Hanqing came to see Miss Zhu San full of ideas, he was turned away by the concierge: "Miss Third is not here. And Miss Third has something to say: 'I never want to see you again.'"
Zhang Hanqing was rejected, but he didn’t give up, and many things still fell on the third lady. His mind changed very quickly, and he immediately replied: "I'm not here to fuck, but to bring something to Miss Fifth."
?????????? Zhang Hanqing often visited the Zhu Mansion before and became very familiar with several of the younger sisters of the Zhu family. Zhu was only ten years old in five years. When he was innocent and innocent, he promised himself a toy that could rotate freely and change into different beautiful clothes.
The concierge only knew that the third lady did not want to see the man named Zhang Hanqing, but did not know his identity. In any case, the person who can associate with the third lady, and the master does not seem to reject it, must always have a background, so he does not want to offend too much. Since he said he had something belonging to Miss Fifth, there was nothing wrong with asking.
Zhu San and several sisters were in the room. When he heard that Zhang Hanqing had not been seen, Zhu Wu jumped up first: "Brother Hanqing is here. He must have brought toys, so just let him in!" Zhu Songyun pondered for a moment, feeling somewhat interested. move.
During this period, Zhu Qiqian was very busy because of Lao Yuan's affairs. Because the controversy surrounding this matter was private, he also felt it. At this sensitive moment, Lao Yuan also tightened his supervision of public opinion, so he prohibited his daughters from going to public places again to avoid being affected. I have contributed a lot to Lao Yuan's affairs, and when I am waiting to be rewarded for my merits, I can't let anything happen to me.
This is a kind of torture for the third lady who is used to being in the limelight. It feels like the earth has stopped rotating because of her departure, and she has almost lost contact with the outside world. The arrival of Zhang Hanqing rekindled her immortality, even though her father asked them not to associate with the troublesome Zhang Hanqing again.
"Let him come, just in time to let him talk about interesting things in Beijing. I haven't listened to him for a few days, and I am bored to death." This is the petting of the young Miss Zhu Wu. To her, the eloquent and well-informed eldest brother Zhang Hanqing was amazing. He knew everything from astronomy to geography, which was not an empty boast.
"My father won't let us sisters get close to him. Aren't you afraid of being scolded?"
"Don't be afraid, he doesn't know how to eat people. Didn't my father also say that 'giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou'? He still wants his brother to ask for help"?, but her eager eyes betrayed her: "Isn't it good? Daddy knows that I'm messing around, so he might do something to me."
Without this encouragement, how could Zhang Hanqing not strike while the iron is hot? He said with regret: "Shibo is responsible for the preparation ceremony for the President's ascension. This ceremony should be lively and noisy, the louder the better. After all, no one wants to be a closed emperor, right? He may have said that this is not allowed. , I’m afraid my heart has already blossomed with joy. Shibo has won the lottery, what else can he say about my sister’s abilities?”
Zhu Songyun listened to his talk like a lotus flower and said suddenly: "Why are you so enthusiastic about my business? Come over here!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 105 Annoying
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing had already thought of his words so that she would not be easily stumped. He chuckled and said, "Brother, I am also hiding my selfish motives, and I also want to get some credit from my sister."
Zhu Songjun sneered and said: "Is it possible that you also want to petition with us? Although you are not an adult, your reputation is well-known. At a young age, you also visited brothels. I heard that you even smashed the place and robbed prostitutes. You You are very capable! Our Zhu family is pure and innocent, but we cannot tolerate a giant Buddha like you. From today on, you should not come to our house again, so as not to be criticized by others. We cannot afford to lose this person!"
Her words were true, but Zhang Hanqing had a sour taste in his ears. Also, the "match made in heaven" that was secretly promised by caring people was ruined because of his "bad conduct". It is said that on the night of the incident, Zhu Qiqian called Miss Zhu San, together with several sisters who usually got along well with her, and asked them sternly to "stay away from Zhang Xueliang."
It is romantic for a scholar to have sex with a prostitute, but it is unbearable for a young man to have sex with a prostitute. Zhu Qiqian even found out the ironclad evidence that Zhang Zuolin had a concubine with five wives (Mrs. Yi, the sixth wife had not yet accepted the sixth wife at that time) to prove that the adage that like father, like son is correct.
The Zhu family is an open family that believes in monogamy and will never tolerate this kind of behavior. It is understandable that Miss Zhu San's attitude towards him suddenly changed drastically.
"This matter is really unclear. The prostitution is "conclusively proven" and he deliberately made it known to the world. Unexpectedly, it ruined his good reputation. In later generations, this matter will also be classified as a category of comments about improper work style.
Zhang Hanqing could only laugh. He raised his head and saw the bright red lipstick on her lips. He couldn't help but think to himself: "It's true that Hong Peony is a prostitute, but how can she be inferior to you? I'm afraid your thoughts are dirtier than hers." Otherwise, why would Tiantian Huacheng do this? Do you know that in our time, you looked like a prostitute in this way of attire!"
But he could only keep these words in his heart. He was still counting on using Zhu Songjun to resolve his potential disadvantages.
Miss Zhu San was still angry: "You are not young at all. Don't you feel embarrassed to be with a bunch of us women? Besides, what about the Detachment of Women's petition, how will you look like a man in it?"
It seems that although Miss Zhu San said it was inappropriate, she had already agreed in her heart.
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "Of course I won't join in the fun. Don't you want people around you to join in?"
Zhu Songjun was surprised and said: "You are so young, where are the people around you?" Suddenly something occurred to him, and he said with a straight face: "No!"
She suddenly thought that although Zhang Hanqing was young, he had already "forcibly redeemed" an "oiran" named Hong Mudan from a brothel. Not many people in Beijing knew about this. Could it be that the so-called person around him is this courtesan? As a young girl, if I want to do such a thing with this prostitute, isn't it that I got a lower rank out of thin air?
Zhang Hanqing seemed to know what she was thinking, and said without hesitation: "I know what my sister is thinking, but in fact it is you who thought wrong. What is needed for petitioning is movement. The petition group you want to organize includes our daughters and some Only by including women from all walks of life can we be inclusive and representative. Although the prostitution industry doesn't sound good, it can't live up to its reputation! I arranged for Hong Mudan and her good sisters to attend, and about forty or fifty people attended. There was absolutely no movement. It will be small. Once this matter comes out, the president will know even if he doesn't know.
"And my sister can accept being with Shen Peizhen, why can't she accept Red Peony?" In other words, how much more noble can she be than Red Peony? On the contrary, the younger brother thought that a talented bachelor like Hong Mudan was not like that one who had a chastity arch in front of his door and a house full of men stealing and women prostitutes. Haha, don’t fight, I’ll just make an analogy. Well, Yang Du organized a petition group and even invited monks to come out, but no one said anything about him behind his back. It was just to gain momentum. "
The Shen Peizhen he was talking about was also a strange scar in the history of the Republic of China: because she went too far in promoting women's rights, she fell behind. A good woman from a good family became the mistress of many people at the time. She seemed to have an affair with President Yuan. Zhang Hanqing brought her out to speak, and as expected, Zhu Songjun was silenced. It seems that this matter was not only spread in the men's circle, but also in the women's circle.
However, Zhu Songyun still has an opinion: "Why do you let the people around you come out to cause trouble? Just make trouble yourself."
Zhang Hanqing looked troubled: "Sister, you know, Red Peony and I are in love, but I'm worried that my father won't agree. No, if my sister helps me, Red Peony will also get the upper hand in persuading the president to join, and my father will be happy , maybe you acquiesced to this matter. Besides, although you are the leader of the class, you still need a few shouting people around, which is somewhat inconvenient.??Red Peony can also show up to help you, right? Where can you find such a good thing that has the best of both worlds? "
This little naughty guy! Unexpectedly, he was quite infatuated, knowing that he was considerate of the people around him. Miss Zhu San felt that this matter was still feasible, so she nodded and said, "Let me think about it more carefully."
With her temperament, what else would she consider? It's just a wording. In fact, Miss Zhu San was very willing to do this kind of nonsense to attract the limelight. She would do it even if she had nothing to do. What's more, what Zhang Hanqing said made her excited? Where can I find good things that can bring glory to my father's face?
No wonder the two of them could talk so calmly. Perhaps in Zhang Hanqing's heart, Miss Zhu San is just an object that can be viewed from a distance but not played with; and Miss Zhu San only regards this little brother as one of her many interested suitors, and their feelings are just that. The flash in the pan was lost in the crowd. Zhang Hanqing has his own world, and Miss Zhu San has her own life circle. They are very different from each other, but they just didn't know it at the beginning.
??????????? Otherwise, if love leads to hatred, would Zhang Hanqing still think that he could talk about things like this? This is both their misfortune and their good fortune. At least, if we can't be lovers, we can still be friends. Intimate friends cannot be made, but they should be closer than casual acquaintances.
So a strange scene appeared in the city of Beijing: a petition group composed of hundreds of people came to Zhongnanhai and strongly demanded that President Yuan Da ascend to power: "The will of heaven and the will of the people will win the hearts of the people." Among the countless teams that persuaded people to come in, it was only a relatively sparse one, but its influence quickly caused a sensation in the city of Beijing because it was a team with a strange composition.
The first ones were Miss Shen Peizhen, who was regarded as the goddaughter of more than a dozen politicians of the Republic of China, and Miss Songyun, the third daughter of the Zhu family, who was followed by a team of more than a dozen other celebrities. The subsequent composition is very eye-catching: a female worker dressed as a worker holding a hammer, a female farmer dressed as a farmer carrying a hoe; and then a group of nuns holding wooden fish in their hands and chanting, which is very eye-catching.
But the most interesting thing is a group of well-dressed mature women. They may be wearing heavy makeup or a little makeup to hide their coquettishness. When familiar customers see it, they can't help but point their fingers and say: "This is not Liuyao'er Hutong." Miss Xu?"
"Hey, why is Miss Wan'er here?"
Needless to say, Red Peony was instructed to organize the support of the good sisters. There are also some old madams in the Bada Hutongs who are able to adapt to the changing circumstances. Funding for sponsorship is a bit exaggerated, but it is also good to send a few girls out to make a grand spectacle. Anyway, following Miss Zhu San, the status of this group of women's soldiers is not cheap: socialites who call themselves socialites, such as Shen Peizhen, are not just higher-end prostitutes.
When lovers meet, they are extremely affectionate. No matter what thoughts they have, cheering for an old lover is a necessary activity for many people. This also makes the momentum of a mere hundred people absolutely overwhelming, and also creates a movement of ten thousand or eight thousand people. Anyway, the onlookers are so excited The ten-mile long street is full.
Shen Peizhen was not ashamed of this, but said proudly to Miss Zhu San: "Fortunately, sister Songjun came up with such a good idea. Now it will be impossible if the president does not come out."
Zhu Songyun did not dare to take credit: "It was Han Qing's younger brother's idea, but I didn't dare to steal the beauty. But his idea was really good. He said it would definitely create a big buzz, and he really expected it."
At first, Yuan Shikai was kind to Shen Peizhen and Miss Zhu San's "petition" because it suited his concerns and they set an example. But as time went by, especially after Yang Du, Liang Shiyi and other cadres joined in, their political influence far exceeded the nonsense of these women. Lao Yuan became very disgusted with this kind of child's play "petition", and later did not come out many times. meet.
Shen Peizhen and others thought that their momentum was not strong enough. Now that they have a diverse petition group with complex members, they are full of confidence. But they couldn't see the disdain in the hearts of the onlookers, or the closed door of Zhongnanhai.
They really had a great time, and they staged a one-woman show in front of Zhongnanhai, stealing the show. But what they didn't know was that behind the closed door, President Yuan hurriedly issued an urgent edict to Xia Shoukang, the political envoy, ordering him to rectify his customs and follow his example. There is an aphorism in the middle: "In the time of Yu and Gengge in the Tang Dynasty, there was a style of Zheng and Wei Bingjian. Since ancient times, the curtains were thin and not repaired, which was a stain on the official motto; the family was not governed, which was the defense of etiquette. How can it establish the government and regulate the national customs? !”
Once this news came out, the Minister of Internal Affairs Zhu Qiqian could not sit still. Firstly, this matter was his responsibility, and secondly, the third lady in Zhu's house was the "team leader" of these fashionable women. After returning home, the third lady Zhu Songjun was placed under house arrest by Zhu Qiqian and could not leave the house for a month, and the scandal gradually subsided. Miss Zhu San hated Zhang Hanqing's bad idea for her, so she put all the blame on him. For a while, people in the circle said that the Zhang family and his son had done their best for Lao Yuan - not to mention that my son went into battle shirtless, even his son's woman Also got on board.
However, more comments are pointing to Zhang Hanqing's nonsense. After all, he is only sixteen years old. Like son, like father, even Zhang Zuolin's persuasion was considered a farce psychologically.

After various places rushed to express their stance, on December 10 of this year, the Senate announced that the state system decided by the votes of the representatives advocated constitutional monarchy, and it was unanimously approved. With the foundation of "public opinion", Yuan Shikai was so proud that he declared: "Since the National Congress has fully voted, the president has no room for discussion; he only hopes to recommend it separately."
Of course, no one will be "promoted" - no one dares to be "promoted", and no one dares to "promote" others. On the spot, Yang Du and Sun Yujun suggested: "This court is entrusted by the provinces to serve as the general representative. In particular, a letter of recommendation should be respectfully presented in the name of the general representative." The Secretary-General took out the prepared letter of recommendation and read it in front of the public, asking Yuan Shikai to "submit to public opinion and Climb the great treasure and serve as a herdsman for the masses, act as the supreme master and manage the economy" All participants stood up and passed unanimously. At 11:30, the meeting adjourned amidst cheers.
At noon that day, Yuan Shikai received the recommendation letter and immediately sent it back with an order to "recommend it separately." He first said: "The sovereignty of the Republic of China is stipulated in the Constitution, which is based on all the people. Since the National Congress voted to adopt a constitutional monarchy, this president has no room for discussion." He also hypocritically said something like "I only recommend it in one fell swoop." , there is no fear. This president has been in politics for thirty years,it has not contributed to the national economy, and it has not helped the livelihood of the people. Looking back on my late king, I already feel a lot of guilt. If I suddenly rise to a high position now, what will I feel? An? This is a matter of moral integrity. The most important thing to govern and protect the country is trustworthiness. At the beginning of the Republic of China, our president swore to the Senate that he was willing to do his best to promote the republic. If the monarchy takes it upon itself now, it will be a betrayal of the oath. This is why Those whose credibility cannot be explained I hope that the General Representative of the National Congress and others will carefully consider it and recommend it separately to consolidate the foundation of the country."
After receiving Yuan Shikai’s application, of course, a second recommendation was required. The Senate met again at 5 o’clock in the afternoon that day. Dean Sun Yuyun proposed drafting and submitting a second recommendation letter, which was unanimously approved. This time, the book of praise praised Yuan Shikai's merits and virtues, saying that he "has great merits and great prestige; he is a man of China and has unshirkable responsibilities; the vast sky has blessed him, and billions of people have returned to his heart." Therefore, he hopes that Yuan Shikai can "not follow the emptiness of courtesy" "Yi, the treasured destiny of Heaven has been issued for a long time. It is urgent to issue an edict to declare to the world that I am in the right position."
Of course it will be rejected.
The third one is the tradition of Chinese dynasties.
On the morning of the 12th, Yuan Shikai issued an order: "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Should he be patriotic and leave it behind others? But billions of people support him and he has a heavy responsibility. How should we benefit the people's livelihood, how should we revitalize the country, and how should we refresh politics? Entering civilization, all kinds of measures are beyond the load that a weak virtue can handle! The last time I made a sincere statement, it was not for modesty, but because I was worried that there might be people who couldn't do it myself. The more severe the people's accusations, the more expectations they have. All this makes me unable to extricate myself and find no excuses." He meant that in order to "save the country and save the people", he had no choice but to become emperor.
At this time, Yuan Shikai, just like Song Taizu who was put on the imperial robe by the soldiers, completed the final process of proclaiming himself emperor half-heartedly. After intensive preparations, Yuan Shikai yielded repeatedly and finally accepted the "support" of the people and really wanted to change his political system and become emperor. Yuan Shikai announced that he would restore China's monarchy on January 1, 1916, establish the Chinese Empire, and change Yuan Hongxian, meaning "carry forward the constitution." The Presidential Palace was changed to Xinhua Palace and accepted the title of emperor.
You must be polite in order to comply with the destiny. Yuan Shikai wanted to be emperor and needed famous literati to advocate for him. The most famous one at the time was Zhang Taiyan, who was also lured to Beijing and placed under house arrest in Longquan Temple. Of course, the treatment is generous, and two servants are arranged, with a special living allowance of 600 oceans a month, which is higher than the professor's income. This is because he hopes to change his mind.
Before he ascended the throne, Yuan Shikai wanted him to write a "letter of persuasion". This time Zhang Taiyan rarely agreed. Without thinking, he wrote it with a wave of his hand and wrote: "I remember the oath I made on April 8, the first year of the year, and the words are still in my ears. Gong Jin suddenly became ambitious and usurped the throne. He was not only a treason of the Republic of China, but also a sinner of the Qing Dynasty." Being trapped in the capital, life is worse than death! But Ji Gong saw my letter and sentenced me to death, which is even more glorious than dying at the hands of the evil Manchu bureaucrats that day!"
Yuan Shikai was so angry that he was fuming, but in view of Zhang Taiyan's huge reputation and he did not dare to harm him, he could only laugh at himself and said: "He is a madman, why should I take him seriously!" People at the time called Zhang Taiyan "The Mi Heng of the Republic of China."
Small unpleasantness does not affect the overall situation. Before officially ascending the throne, Yuan Shikai decided to hold a congratulatory meeting for all officials and let Yuan Keding choose the date. Yuan Keding said impatiently: "Tomorrow, December 13th is a good day!"
The next morning, Yuan Shikai held a congratulatory meeting for all officials in Zhongnanhai. Due to the rush of time and no preparation beforehand, the only officials who came to congratulate him were those in Beijing, and no local officials attended. What's funny is that there is neither uniform clothing nor prescribed procedures for this pilgrimage. Some of the officials who came to congratulate were wearing long robes and mandarin jackets, and some were in suits. The military attaches even came to congratulate each other in military uniforms, while some off-duty officials simply wore casual clothes. Just comeA total of 128 people were knighted in the grand awards, but Duan Qirui was the only one not on the list. It can be seen that Yuan Shikai knew that Duan Qirui did not sincerely persuade him to advance, and he was still resentful of his non-cooperation and secret resistance since the imperial activities.
Duan Qirui's uncle advised him: "The old man has always valued you, but you have always pushed back on the issue of the imperial system. How can he not be angry? Besides, the president and the emperor are not the same thing, so why should you take it too seriously?" Duan Qirui's uncle persuaded him. Qi Rui frowned and said, "That's not the same thing. When Xiang Cheng is the president, he only needs to salute and hold hands when meeting him. If he is the emperor, he has to kowtow to him and kneel down to speak. I I hate this trick where the eldest son becomes the dwarf."
"Things are often like this. A truly loyal person is often loyal but suspicious; and those who lead him to a dead end are always reused. Duan Qirui's opposition to Yuan Shikai's proclaimed emperor was precisely a manifestation of Duan's loyalty and responsibility to Yuan Shikai. It's a pity that Yuan Shikai not only doesn't appreciate it, but also wants to plot against him. It's really sad and ridiculous.
As for Jiangsu Governor Feng Guozhang, after several hints and Lao Feng’s confession, Lao Yuan knew that he could not win over Lao Feng’s heart. Feng Guozhang was loyal to the former Qing Dynasty, and it felt like a slap in the face to ask him to be loyal to the new dynasty. Moreover, he always believed that he was Yuan's legal successor, and would never be willing to crawl at the feet of Yuan's descendants.
The relationship between the two is now extremely cold, and they are almost at war with each other. Although Yuan Shikai did not tell the truth to Feng Guozhang, Feng Guozhang actually had second thoughts about Yuan Shikai. He even believed that Yuan Shikai would attack him before Yuan Keding succeeded to the throne. Given the importance of Jiangsu's status, Yuan Shikai deliberately acted like this. Take precautions. Once you succeed in proclaiming yourself emperor, you will definitely eradicate the root causes and avoid future troubles forever.
Besides, Lao Yuan has been trying to replace him with supportive Yuan Keding, Chen Huan, Yang Du, etc. In order to protect himself, Feng Guozhang began to prepare to exchange views with Cai E of Yunnan and Lu Rongting of Guangxi and form a foreign aid alliance.
Another timid Vice President Li found the courage rarely. Nonsense, being Lao Yuan's vice president is already very embarrassing. Being the "vice emperor" is a bit nondescript. Besides, there is no such position. Yuan Shikai once tested Li Yuanhong, his in-law: "Many people want me to be emperor recently. What do you think, in-laws?" After hearing this, Li Yuanhong said seriously: "The purpose of the revolution is to overthrow autocracy and establish a republic. If you become emperor, how can you be worthy of Wuchang?" Martyrs who died?" At the congratulatory ceremony, former Vice President Li Yuanhong (when Yuan Shikai became emperor, Vice President Li of course became the former Vice President) did not come. Yuan Shikai gave Li Yuanhong the title of "Prince of Wuyi", but the former vice president repeatedly refused and refused to accept it. After this incident spread, a nursery rhyme also spread like wildfire: "A good country cannot be jailed; a good country cannot be jailed; no one wants a prince!"
In this regard, a Chinese philosopher had anticipated the extremely strong reaction of the opposition when he wrote: "We use wood or clay to sculpture a person's idol and call it a god. Put it in a beautiful temple , let it sit in a splendid shrine; the people worship it and think it incredibly powerful. But if a madman knocks it down, tramples it underfoot, and throws it into a dirty pond, what if someone If you find it, pick it up and put it in its original sacred place, you will find that its charm has been lost."

Chapter 107 Weird

1916 arrived, and as expected, Yuan Shikai had a very unhappy year. His proclaiming himself emperor brought immeasurable consequences. Not only Sun Yat-sen, Liang Qichao and others resolutely opposed the imperial system, but also the Beiyang generals Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang who started their own business were also deeply dissatisfied. Duan Qirui even directly called Yuan Shikai: "Restore the Congress, abdicate and save yourself." The imperialist powers also continued to express their dissatisfaction. He issued a warning, which made the "Hong Xian" emperor suffer a lot.
The greatest threat is the National Defense Army led by Cai E. On December 25, 2017, Cai E, Tang Jiyao and others announced an uprising in Yunnan, launched a war to protect the country, and launched a crusade against Yuan Shikai, which spread rapidly. The first person to respond was not the neighboring Guizhou nor the Kuomintang's Guangdong, but the very close Jiangsu, which caused a huge shock within the Beiyang faction.
Speaking of which, this matter is a bit of a historical coincidence. Although Cai E was confident in the military, Yunnan was in a remote corner and had less than 20,000 soldiers. Once he rebelled, he would be the enemy of the 100,000 Beiyang Army. Therefore, he specially made a secret agreement with Feng Guozhang, stating that as long as Nanjing takes the lead If troops are sent to oppose the imperial system, Yunnan will be the first to respond, so as to have the effect of containing each other.
Feng Guozhang is more cautious and diplomatic on this matter and does not want to express his position easily. His initial plan was to sit still and wait until Cai E and others started to quarrel with Yuan Shikai, then sit back and watch the success or failure and profit from it. But Feng Guozhang's two aides thought differently from the mastermind. These two staff members, one was Feng Guozhang's secretary-general Hu Siyuan, and the other was the confidential secretary Pan Ruohai. They were Kang Youwei's students and confidants, and they were both authentic Qing Dynasty restorationists. Feng Guozhang agreed with Kang, Hu and Pan. Since Kang Youwei introduced Hu and Pan behind the scenes, he had great trust in them. During his tenure as Jiangsu Governor, these two secretaries handled all documents and messages on his behalf, and Hu and Pan were responsible for handling public and private seals and seals.
The predecessor of Kang Youwei's Qing Dynasty restoration faction was the reformist faction during the Reform Movement of 1898. The reformers suffered greatly because of Yuan Shikai's informant, and they often plotted revenge in the future. Seeing that Feng Guozhang was on both ends and refused to take the lead, Pan Ruohai went behind his back and wrote a telegram to Cai E in Feng Guozhang's name, which read: "Ning has sent troops, I hope you will send them soon."
This telegram was printed on the official paper of the Jiangsu Military Governor’s Office, and was also stamped with the large seal of the Military Governor’s Office. Pan Ruohai personally sent it to the Shanghai Concession Post Office (then known as the Telegraph Bureau) for issuance. The telegraph office saw the seal on it and sent the secret message to Kunming, Yunnan without asking whether it was true or false. When the secret telegram arrived, Cai E was ready to become independent. After reading the fake telegram, he hurriedly swore in accordance with the secret agreement. On December 25, Cai E declared the independence of Yunnan, and at the same time established the National Defense Army in Kunming, which he personally led to launch an attack on Sichuan.
After the National Guard Army entered Sichuan, they defeated Cao Kun, Zhang Jingyao and other Beiyang armies. It can be said that they were overwhelming and victorious. At this time, Cai E did not see Jiangsu sending troops, so he called Feng Guozhang to ask why Feng Guozhang broke his promise, but Feng Guozhang was left confused.
This incident spread throughout Shanghai, Ningxia, Sichuan and Yunnan, and was a joke for a while.
At first, Lao Yuan didn’t quite believe that General Cai turned against us. "Cai E went to Japan to study in his early years. He only borrowed 20 cents from Changsha, Hunan. He borrowed 6 yuan from relatives in Hankou. When he went to Beijing, he generously borrowed 1,000 yuan from Houxiangcheng (named by Lao Yuan)." I consider myself a debt of gratitude to Cai. Well, as evidenced by what Liang Qichao said at Cai E’s memorial service. In any case, according to the Chinese people's point of view, Lao Yuan was grateful to General Cai for his deep learning. It is unknown whether General Cai reciprocated the favor during the second revolution, but it is true that he clearly supported himself against Sun Yat-sen. It's really puzzling that they turned against each other this time.
"But General Cai is not a person who takes advantage of others and takes advantage of them. Public service is public service and private service is private service. This point can be clearly distinguished. Cai E "paid three hundred yuan for tuition after arriving in Dongdong, and the rest was used for making friends and charity. When he came out, he walked on his own and never took a car." From this point of view, Cai E has a tendency to use public funds for private benefits. Consciously.
Lao Yuan thought it was natural for Cai E to be close to him. Until four days later on the 29th, he still didn't believe that Cai E wanted to go against him. The power supply in Yunnan was a trick of Supervisor Tang Jiyao and Inspector Ren Kecheng. It was a fraud. Electricity is made of Cai E's tiger skin as a coat. Therefore, in his telegram condemning the Yunnan National Guard Army, he also separated Tang, Ren, and Cai E: "when Cai E and others were discussing the state system, they gathered senior military officers in Beijing and signed their names first, advocating a constitutional monarchy. Later, he asked for leave to go abroad. Why go to Yunnan to seek medical treatment and accuse Zhang of being an illusion? Repeated worries should not cause this."
For Tang and Ren who were confirmed, the punishment was severe: "However, Tang Jiyao and Ren Kecheng have local responsibilities. Regardless of whether this power supply was coerced by others or fabricated by traitors, they cannot always be maintained and they deserve the blame." , Kaiwu General Tang Jiyao, and Inspector Ren Kecheng were both dismissed from their posts with immediate effect, and their officers and titles and medals were taken away, pending investigation!"
Of course, making such a big fuss??, Lao Cai cannot be left alone: ??"Cai E's behavior is secretive, and he does not know the suspicions far away. He should be dismissed from his post and seize the official position, and also take away the honorary medal. The local magistrate of the province ordered him to come to Beijing and wait for investigation! This order ." At this time, Lao Yuan was still thinking about "seeing him again."
It was not until General Cai personally led the First Army to invade Sichuan and defeated the Communist Party led by Chen Huan that Lao Yuan realized that he had been deceived, but it was too late.
When Yunnan defeated Yuan, Yuan Shikai planned to mobilize his troops for a southern expedition. However, due to the lack of troops and the defiance of the frontline generals in fighting, the government troops lost troops and generals and retreated steadily. The most irritating thing is that one of his own people rebelled. Chen Huan, the Sichuan governor who served as the first line of defense, was originally a die-hard confidant of Lao Yuan, but he gave up Sichuan almost without firing a shot and turned over three lines of electricity to Lao Yuan.
The first two sentences were written more tactfully and in a gentle tone. They just advised Yuan Shikai to abdicate, but the third sentence made Yuan Shikai furious: "From today on, Sichuan will sever ties with the Yuan family personally. Anyone who punishes Sichuan affairs in the name of his government will be regarded as invalid by the Sichuan Province." Yuan Shikai never expected that his confidant Chen Huan would "reverse" him, and he was so angry that he shouted that "people's hearts have changed."
It’s not just Sichuan that wants to change, Lu Rongting of Guangxi also has ideas.
Although Lu Rongting is the governor of Guangxi, he is not Yuan Shikai's biggest worry. Firstly, his personal ability is much worse than Cai E's. Secondly, Guangxi has always been barren and cannot be used for anything. Thirdly, there is Long Jiguang, the "barbarian on the Yunnan border", who is guarding Guangdong for Beiyang.
"However, at this juncture, any disturbance anywhere may have a follower effect, and Lao Yuan dare not ignore it. But Lao Yuan was also afraid that the enemy was deliberately blowing the news and making himself suspicious of his own people, which would allow the enemy to reap the benefits, so he didn't believe it at first. But Lu Rongting didn't know what he had in mind. He even sent him a telegram asking for his son Lu Yuxun to return to Guangxi. This needs to be carefully considered.
At this time, Lu Yuxun was serving as Yuan Shikai's military attache. In fact, he had the same status as Zhang Hanqing's proton.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the ancient kings appointed the sons of feudal officials with heavy troops to serve as inner court guards. On the surface, they favored and supported them, but in fact they took them as hostages. This is the old plot of the "proton game". Absolutely no, after Cai E rebelled against Yuan, Lu Rongting sent a telegram to Yuan to ask for leave for Lu Yuxun: "I suddenly feel very ill. Please allow the president to allow my son to return to Guangxi to visit his doctor!"
"Old Yuan was so sophisticated that he could see through Lu Rongting's intentions at a glance, and of course he would not make things difficult for him. With surprising generosity, he granted leave at that time and allowed Mr. Lu to return to his hometown to take care of his father. Zhang Hanqing was shocked when he heard the news and hurriedly asked him to find out.
It is said that although Zhang Hanqing and Lu Yuxun are not familiar with each other, they still have some friendship: firstly, they are both protons, so they will inevitably feel sympathy for each other; secondly, they are both descendants of famous families, so there will inevitably be some care in the future. The two of them had gotten together several times in Beijing because they were both young people and could talk in some languages.
At this time, Lu Yuxun had already packed up. When he saw Zhang Hanqing coming, he said straightforwardly: "I originally wanted to send someone to inform Hanqing, but now you have come by yourself, it will save trouble. It is rare that you and I brothers get together by fate. If I have the chance to come to Guangxi someday, I will definitely entertain you as a landlord."
Zhang Hanqing said with some worry: "If you go home at this juncture, will the president have any thoughts? Doesn't he suspect that once you go back, brother, something will happen again in the southwest?"
He just said that. In fact, he was a little upset. If he had known that Lao Yuan would let him go so easily, he should have taken the first step and fled back to the Northeast. The situation was getting worse day by day. When Lao Yuan wanted Zhang Zuolin to be the "King of Qin", if he continued to stay here, he would really become a pawn of Lao Yuan. However, if Zhang Zuolin is allowed to follow suit and wants to go back by himself, no matter how stupid Lao Yuan is, he should know what his father and son are planning.
"Han Qing, you are worrying too much. Let me tell you the truth. The more this time is, the less likely the president will doubt my father's loyalty. Think about it, everyone knows that this is a 'fork in the officialdom', and my father On the surface, I am testing Lao Yuan's trust, but in fact I am expressing my loyalty to the president! If the president does not trust my father, there is no reason to let me go back; then again, if my father really wants to oppose the president , and did not dare to blatantly ask me to go back. All he had to do was pay a lot of money and arrange for some Jianghu brothers to help me escape from Beijing secretly." Lu Yuxun was very happy to leave the whirlpool, and he talked a little more.
ah? It's obviously a meme about taking advantage of opportunities, but it's actually been interpreted like this. It's really mind-boggling. Well, as expected, you have to be the first to eat crabs! Although the risks were high, the rewards were also considerable, and Zhang Hanqing regretted it endlessly.
However, no one thought that this farewell would actually be an eternal farewell, because a few days later they heard the bad news about him!
It turned out that Lu Yuxun stopped in Hankou when he returned to Guangxi from Beijing. What was even worse was that he fell ill in Hankou and died within a few days! Who is the person who caught the knife is unknown in the turbulent situation. For this reason, Zhang Hanqing was a little scared.

The death of Lu Yuxun triggered changes in Guangxi. After receiving the bad news from Hankou, Lu Rongting, who was grieving the loss of his son, immediately summoned more than 20 of his closest and most trusted important generals. "The poisonous oath began Guangxi's road against Yuan.
Who did it? This has become a historical mystery. Many people at the time believed that just like Song Jiaoren, Lu Yuxun was also assassinated on the order of the Yuan family. But this is unreasonable, because it is counterproductive to Yuan's grand plan. These two people died when he needed stability the most.
After Song Jiaoren was assassinated that year, he called Yuan Shikai on his deathbed and said: "I hope that President Ji will be sincere, deliver justice, and do his best to protect civil rights so that the country can establish an unbreakable constitution. Even if he dies, he will still be alive." ". Judging from his last words, Song Jiaoren did not regard Yuan Shikai as the mastermind behind the scenes. When Yuan Shikai heard about his death, he was shocked and said: "the Kuomintang lost Song Dunchu and lost a big mastermind. It will be more difficult to speak in the future." The implication is that Song Jiaoren can at least speak (communicate), which is better than other national party members. Much more diplomatic.
Zhang Hanqing believed in the principle that whoever benefits is the most suspect, so he immediately targeted the Kuomintang. It’s not like they can’t do such despicable things. No one wants the situation to be chaotic more than they are. They are good at winning in chaos. ——With the death of Song Jiaoren, Sun Yixian lost one of the most prestigious people in the party, which established his supreme status. He could also blame Yuan Shikai, thereby raising the banner of the "second revolution". Otherwise, where would there be an excuse to provoke the Kuomintang members who were already preparing to split executive and legislative power with Yuan Shikai?
As for Lu Yuxun himself, who had no political influence but died at this juncture, Yuan Shikai was the first suspect. Not only did he gain the notoriety of killing his subordinate's son, but he also succeeded in getting Guangxi to follow the steps of Guangdong and Yunnan in rebelling against Yuan. It could be said to be a clever move with extremely low cost.
From a political perspective, there is no need for Yuan Shikai to do such a thing. Just as Lu Yuxun judged, he wanted to prevent Lu Rongting from rebelling, so he could refuse Lu Yuxun's departure. Why do he need to do everything possible and force Lu Rongting to fall out? This is not a judgment that normal people can make, let alone Yuan Shikai, the most powerful hero in the Republic of China.
Among those who oppose Yuan, Cai E's character can guarantee that he will not use such dirty tricks. It can be seen from his lack of courage that he has not worried about Lu Rongting at all. It can be seen from his direct attack on Sichuan and Hunan without going to stabilize Yunnan. Apart from this, only the Kuomintang benefits the most.
However, no matter how clumsy the method of blaming himself was, Lao Yuan still had something to say. Lu Yuxun's death made him very passive. No matter what words he used to explain it, it seemed very pale. He was determined to bear the blame. Guangdong, Guangxi, and the Dianchuan River are connected together and go straight down to Hunan, and the situation in the southwest is out of control. For the first time since proclaiming himself emperor, Lao Yuan found himself at a dead end.
When you are in a bad mood, even folk customs are an eyesore. At that time, it was just after the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival was approaching. The streets and alleys of Beijing are filled with various Lantern Festivals. The sounds of selling Yuanxiao are also heard one after another. One day, Yuan Shikai was passing by on the street in a "dragon chariot" and heard the vendor's cry of "Selling Yuanxiao! Selling Yuanxiao" and felt it was very ominous. Isn't this calling me Yuan Shikai "Yuan Xiao"? Therefore, they were strictly ordered to change their name to glutinous rice balls to avoid taboo.
But this alone is of no use. Wherever the power reaches, glutinous rice balls can replace Yuanxiao. However, in the south, it is still called "Yuanxiao", and Emperor Hong Xian has no choice. When he was besieged on all sides, Yuan Shikai thought of Zhang Zuolin, who had expressed his loyalty to him. He asked Zhang Zuolin to send troops to Hunan, and promised that he could be granted the title of Duke or Marquis in the future. This was Yuan Shikai's last life-saving straw.
In February, Yuan Shikai summoned Zhang Zuolin to Beijing to discuss the issue of the Southern Expedition. For this reason, there were many visionaries among his staff, who persuaded Yuan Shikai: "Zhang Zuolin is ambitious and has always been called a strong man in the Northeast. If he takes advantage of the opportunity again, he will be in trouble in the future, and it will be troublesome to deal with him."
Yuan Shikai stroked his beard and sighed: "Tiger can be addicted to people, and wolves can bite people. How can I not know Zhang Zuolin's character? Why among the three northeastern provinces, Jilin and Heilongjiang have already decided on the candidates for supervisors, but only Fengtian has been shelved for several years. Not settled yet? Aren't you afraid that his family will dominate? But to deal with the tiger Cai E, we need to drive the wolf Zhang Zuolin."
In fact, Zhang Hanqing and Gao Jiyi, who was engaged in spy work smoothly, continuously informed Zhang Zuolin in Fengtian of all matters big and small in Beijing. With a complete grasp of the general direction of history, Zhang Hanqing accurately predicted all of Yuan Shikai's steps, and continuously informed Zhang Zuolin of his analysis and countermeasures. So much so that even though Zhang Zuolin was outside the customs, he knew every subsequent step of the Central Committee better than anyone in China at that time, and he responded very appropriately.
This made him deeply impressed by his eldest son Zhang Hanqing, and he was very worried about his eldest son's safety - the father and son had already understood each other and decidedMake the most of this turmoil. Of course, the more this is the case, the more important the value of Zhang Hanqing's proton becomes. There was a case of Cai E successfully escaping, and Lu Yuxun learned from the past. Yuan Shikai also stepped up his defense against him, of course in name only to properly protect his safety.
If he really wanted to leave Beijing, Zhang Hanqing actually had some options, but the disadvantages of doing so were even greater: first, he could have waited safely until the moment of Lao Yuan's funeral in June without risking his life; secondly, he had not gained any benefits. Zhang Zuolin He will also be forced to bear the wrath of Yuan Shikai - the Beiyang system is still very powerful in Beijing and outside the customs. With any order, Zhang Zuolin believes that whether it is Feng Delin in the same city or the Jilin generals Meng Enyuan and Rehe Dutong Jiang across the province. Guiti would give him a knife without hesitation.
With Yuan’s alertness, he would be particularly wary of Zhang Hanqing before leaving after reaping all the benefits. How to escape safely at the right time under this kind of dragnet will seriously test Zhang Hanqing's wisdom.
Under such circumstances, if Zhang Zuolin opposes the Southern Expedition, all the previous pretense and integrity will be gone, Zhang Hanqing will still be killed, and the negative impact on his own forces outside the customs is also unknown; but if Zhang Zuolin agrees to be transferred, Zhang Zuolin's previous All his efforts will be in vain, and the 27th Division, where he started, will have to serve as a vanguard to charge into battle, making wedding clothes for others in vain. Not only that, the father and son's previous plan to make a show of Lao Yuan's proclaimed emperor would turn into a veritable "royalist". According to Zhang Hanqing's analysis of Beiyang's future many times before, this is not a good sign - he has always Believing that Yuan Shikai would fail and Beiyang would be divided, Lao Zhang wanted to hear Xiao Zhang's judgment of the situation in person.
Not quite sure what Zhang Hanqing wanted to do and hearing about Lu Yuxun’s death, Zhang Zuolin was still a little nervous. In response to Lao Yuan's urging, on the one hand, he was prepared to use the excuse of hasty preparations to delay. On the other hand, he also went to Beijing in person to speak to Lao Yuan according to Zhang Hanqing's wishes, so as to dispel his doubts about himself. Although the troops and horses have not moved, the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces has come in person, which is enough to show his loyalty to the president, right?
Zhang Zuolin came to Beijing this time and brought a whole battalion of guards with him. The excuse was that the situation in the capital was tense. In fact, he had another idea: if Zhang Hanqing could not return as soon as possible, he would leave some more people beside him for safety. Only in troubled times can we truly appreciate the support of father and son in battle.
"Same as last time, Wang Yitang is sitting here.
Looking at Zhang Hanqing's sly smile, Zhang Zuolin said seriously: "You may already know about my coming to Beijing this time. The President and Emperor are about to send me to Hunan to wipe out the Yunnan bandits. We are thousands of miles away from each other. What happens next will be You need to take care of yourself.”
Zhang Hanqing said: "Hunan is too far away, and I have heard that it is humid and hot. My father often lives in a cold place in the Northeast, so I am afraid he is not used to it. Furthermore, although my son has never fought in a war, the principle of 'before the troops and horses are moved, food and grass go first'" I still understand. I wonder how my father is preparing for these things? The 27th Division still wears thick cotton-padded jackets now, right? I heard that Hunan only wears long-sleeved clothes. I’m afraid it will be difficult to raise these military uniforms in the short term, right?" It is not easy for a father to directly ask for food and salary, so a son should naturally bring up the topic at the right time. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 110 Labor Army
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
When talking about Feng Delin, Yuan Shikai is full of resentment.
Before proclaiming himself emperor, Feng Delin's movements in Fengtian were no less than Zhang Zuolin's, and his stance cannot be said to be disloyal and courageous. He had also vowed to do everything possible for himself, the "Hong Xian" emperor. However, when the whole country turned against Yuan, Feng's attitude changed 180 degrees. It can be seen from his stance towards that Xiao Duan.
Duan Zhigui was originally sent to Fengtian as a "supervisor of the army". After he arrived, he drifted between Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin. It has always been smooth sailing, and the two of them also respected him. However, when the domestic rumors changed, he immediately felt that Feng Delin's attitude towards him had changed. He was no longer as respectful as before, and he no longer had any scruples about some words. He is self-aware and knows that the reason why he is valued by the two people is because of the face of his boss Yuan Shikai. If anyone doesn't give Lao Yuan face, Lao Yuan will definitely make you lose your dignity. But the situation was pressing, and he had no choice but to complain to Lao Yuan.
Because at this time Lao Yuan was also in a state of distress.
Sun Yat-sen of the Kuomintang continues to speak out in Guangdong, Cai E attacks Yunnan and Hunan, and the "Hongxian" imperial system is on the verge of collapse. At this time, Lao Yuan was no longer in the mood to be unhappy at all when he called Lao Zhang "Emperor and President". Because, he ascended the throne, but he never officially proclaimed himself emperor. He was a true "closed-door emperor". When the situation was turbulent in all directions, he found that it was necessary to postpone the time of becoming emperor first.
This delay was not fulfilled until his death. In early March, he finally made up his mind to give up his ambition to restore the monarchy. On the 22nd of the same month, Yuan Shikai announced the abolition of the imperial system, restored the era name of the "Republic of China", and re-appointed Duan Qirui as Secretary of State and Chief of the Army in an attempt to rely on Duan to unite the Beiyang forces and support him to continue to serve as president.
But it was too late.
The uprising provinces did not recognize his qualifications to be president again, and Duan Qirui also forced him to hand over his military and political power. Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Hunan, and Sichuan all called to declare independence or to sever ties with Yuan Shikai personally.
The best test of people’s hearts is when they lose power. Only Zhang Zuolin is sincere in his treatment of others. He was greatly moved by treating him as he did in the past, and reported it to Yuan Shikai many times, both covertly and covertly.
Yuan Shikai also asked Feng Delin to help send troops to Hunan, but Feng used various excuses to stall. Unlike Zhang Zuolin, who was direct and decisive without negotiating conditions, who wouldn't need such a loyal minister? How could such a loyal minister bear to let him "bleed and shed tears"?
Of course, Yuan Shikai also knew Zhang Zuolin's intention. He was taking the opportunity to ask him for an official position, but his words were not unreasonable. Being an official in the same city and division commander, Zhang Zuolin held the title of General Fengtian in name only. In name, he could not have any control over Feng Delin, nor did he have the slightest advantage in terms of strength. Zhang Zuolin took certain risks by leaving his stronghold of Fengtian. Given Lao Zhang's enthusiasm and obedience, if he couldn't give Zhang Zuolin a satisfactory arrangement, he wouldn't be able to justify it, would he? How can Zhang Zuolin be allowed to join the trap?
"In fact, Lao Yuan didn't know that he had already fallen into Zhang Hanqing's trap.
Zhang Zuolin was able to agree readily, which had something to do with Zhang Hanqing's suggestion. Zhang Hanqing believed that it would be best to take advantage of the Central Committee and take advantage of Yuan Shikai's opportunity to gain the greatest benefits. Zhang Zuolin believed in this. This is a decision that the father and son have already made, except this time the performer is Zhang Zuolin.
Zhang Zuolin used the strategy of defeating the enemy and winning. He did not bargain, but moved Lao Yuan with the image of a loyal and brave boss. He also tactfully expressed his concerns without any intention of forcing the palace. This speaking skill is really a science.
After Zhang Zuolin agreed to send troops, he had to solve the technical problems of sending troops. Yuan Shikai paid special attention to the Army Command Office, giving priority to his needs, replenishing equipment, and making it as convenient as possible. In order to solve the problem of the vacancy in the defense area after the 27th Division left the defense area, Zhang Zuolin proposed to add ten battalions of troops. Yuan Shikai agreed and arranged Wang Yitang paid attention to giving priority to Zhang Zuolin; in order to put Zhang Zuolin at ease, Yuan Shikai also decided to promote Zhang Zuolin to Fengtian Supervisor, at least in name, overpowering Feng Delin.
The governor is the acting general, which is equivalent to giving Zhang Zuolin a sweet date to make Zhang Zuolin work harder for him. Although he is an agent, at least in name, Zhang Zuolin can manage Feng Delin in all matters of Fengtian.
Zhang Zuolin did not live up to his expectations and began to quickly mobilize and train the troops. The staff reported the battle plan to Yuan Shikai; the baggage department asked Lao Yuan for a lot of equipment; as the advance troops, the vanguard of Sun Liechen, commander of the 54th brigade of the 27th Division, had already left Shanhaiguan, and the forwards arrived in Tianjin and began to collect supplies and fight. Preparation. In order to build momentum for sending troops, Zhang Zuolin also sent a eloquent telegram: "Go straight to Yunnan and Guizhou, just around the corner. A gentleman makes a promise and will never look back"
Lao Yuan admired Zhang Zuolin's "loyalty" of making a promise, and Zhang ZuolinLin called back and said that he was afraid that the reorganization of the Fengjun would be detrimental to the war situation, so he sent Sun Liechen as the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun outside the pass first, and then he would lead the army later after he had settled matters in Fengtian. The two armies will go straight to the front line of Hunan, one after the other, asking the president to rest assured, which even made Lao Yuan admire him. If Sun Liechen hadn't suddenly fallen ill in Tianjin due to acclimatization, the army would have gone south.
However, Zhang Zuolin's performance gave the outside world the illusion that he had acted as Yuan Shikai's thug. Reminiscent of the performance of Zhang Zuolin and his son when Lao Yuan became emperor, all the Yuan soldiers criticized Zhang Zuolin verbally and writtenly. Cai E was an insider, but he did not dare to speak out because he was worried about Zhang Hanqing's safety. At the end of February, when the commotion was at its most intense, the Shanghai Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang secretly organized an anti-corruption group, preparing to go north to take Zhang Hanqing's head as a sacrificial flag.
This rumor shocked both Lao Yuan and Xiao Zhang. Lao Yuan was sincere, because the only one he could count on now was Zhang Zuolin's family. Naturally, his son couldn't make any more mistakes. He had already felt sorry for Lao Zhang's "envoy of friendship" some time ago. Therefore, for Zhang Hanqing's safety, he allocated a squadron of military police in addition to the original police squad to be responsible for Zhang Hanqing's safety.
How can we bear such great love? Zhang Hanqing had ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart. What I was waiting for in the tiger's den was for my father to get the benefits. Now that everything was going well, just when I was about to escape, I ended up with so many big soldiers - I finally had a plan to deal with the people from the previous class!
what to do? It was impossible to run away. He didn't want to be a martyr who fell before dawn. However, Sun Liechen's army has already arrived in Tianjin. If it does not join him, Sun's army will immediately face the problem of whether to advance or retreat. The consequence is that he must either leave him behind and retreat outside the customs, or bite the bullet and go south, and then be made dumplings by the Beiyang army loyal to Yuan. Sun Liechen's illness was originally a signal agreed upon by both parties and it was time to leave.
There is no other way, Zhang Hanqing can only play the family card. He bought many gifts, and President Bingming wanted to visit Sun Liechen. He faced Yuan Shikai and said: "Xueliang saw the President's support for my father and was deeply moved. Now that the 27th Division has been dispatched to Tianjin, Commander Sun Liechen on the front line treats Xueliang as a nephew. I heard that He is in ill health, and we are thousands of miles away from him when we go to Hunan. I don’t know when and what month I will see him again. Xueliang wants to go to Tianjin to visit him in person, and bid farewell to Commander Sun to renew the relationship between uncle and nephew. I ask the President for permission."
Yuan Shikai wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say it out loud. Zhang Hanqing, who still has a bandage on his left hand (thanks to his ability, even a broken bone does not need to be nursed for so many days!), Zhang Hanqing's words are sincere, and his longing is vivid on the page, making people unable to bear to say "no". Thinking of Zhang Hanqing's consistent performance of loyalty: working hard when advocating for the emperor, being plotted for this at a young age, and resolutely abandoning the loyalty of his friends to serve the country when Cai E betrayed him, this kind of performance, as an elder, how can I disagree? ?
As a proton, Zhang Zuolin has fulfilled his promise to send troops and has actually taken action. It seems that the value has been lost. In this troubled autumn, I don't want this to dampen the hearts of people with lofty ideals. However, after experiencing Cai E's incident, he was still worried about gains and losses. While he readily agreed, he arranged for the "Capital Law Enforcement Office" to deploy manpower and supervise the situation nearby.
Unlike Cai E who had to make his family uneasy before leaving Beijing on the pretext of illness, Zhang Hanqing entered Tianjin under the "escort" sent by President Yuan Da. Accompanying him was Miss Zhu San's father, Zhu Qiqian, whose temporary post was the Labor Army Envoy. With the friendship between Lao Zhu and the Zhang family, how can it be said that it can also play a role in supervising and adjusting the direction of the wind? It's just that this kind of friendship is not enough for Zhang Hanqing, who is determined to save his life. Although Lao Yuan is a great hero, he cannot see through this young man's heart.
The labor force must spend a lot of money. Accompanying Zhang Hanqing were 10,000 brand-new Hanyang imitation Mauser rifles and two million rounds of ammunition, 50 machine guns and tens of thousands of artillery shells that the Army Command Office brought from the warehouse, as well as white An ocean of flowers.
Zhang Hanqing's personal guard naturally followed, but Hong Mudan was left at home - I expected that Lao Yuan would not be so bored that he would vent his anger on a woman. After Cai E fell out with him, Xiao Fengxian was not harassed.
Naturally, several spies from the Capital Law Enforcement Department were also among them. The order they received was that Zhang Hanqing should not be allowed to leave his sight for a moment. However, among the thousands of Fengjun vanguard troops, no matter how good the personnel of the "Capital Law Enforcement Division" were, they could not interfere with Zhang Hanqing's actions openly! Therefore, despite being surrounded by secret agents armed with hidden guns who could kill him at any time, Zhang Hanqing calmly entered Sun Liechen's headquarters with a gift from "Lao Jun".
Sun Liechen, who had received the news, went out to meet Zhang Hanqing in person. The moment he looked at Zhang Hanqing, they both smiled knowingly and congratulated each other for their safe landing. As for those spies, they were really not good enough to show up. Sun Liechen had a hundred ways to get rid of them. As long as they cannot threaten Zhang Hanqing first-hand, they will only be at the mercy of others in the 54th Brigade military camp.

Chapter 111 Falling out
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
After entering the military camp, Zhang Hanqing never came out. He didn't even bother to mention the reason. Even several supervisors were asked to leave the house. The agents, who knew that the situation was over, behaved and did not fall out. They were safely taken away by Zhu Qiqian, who looked depressed. This also prevented Zhang Zuolin and Yuan Shikai from directly fighting each other, which was a great blessing among misfortunes. Of course, the ammunition and baggage must be accepted with a smile. Before Zhu Qiqian left, Zhang Hanqing also told him carefully: "Please tell the uncle Shi and tell the third sister that if there is a fate one day, Xueliang will definitely go to the house to plead guilty."
With Cai E in front and Zhang Hanqing in the back, Yuan Shikai was so angry that he allowed important figures to leave calmly twice. He called Lei Zhenchun, director of the Capital Law Enforcement Department, and scolded him, but to no avail. When Sun Liechen sent someone to tell him that he wanted military doctors to properly diagnose Zhang Hanqing's wounds, he could only express his understanding.
After receiving the pay and weapons, especially when Zhang Hanqing landed safely, Zhang Zuolin suddenly changed his face. Of course, Zhang Zuolin also came to drain the fire. Everyone was originally in a relationship of mutual use. Emperor Hongxian had no use value, so of course he would be thrown into the heap of history. He had been observing the situation under Zhang Hanqing's suggestion, but now he finally had a reason to refuse to send troops. Of course, the reason was very poor.
When Lao Yuan became emperor, he made Zhang Zuolin a viscount, and he used this as an excuse. Zhang Zuolin was generating electricity in Fengtian and sternly refused the title of "Viscount". The reason was that he had also contributed greatly to the Hongxian monarchy, but he could not be made a marquis. He was so disappointed that he would never be a "son" for others! And Zhang Zuolin kept his promise and submitted his request for leave on the same day.
There was a folk legend that Zhang Zuolin didn't know what the viscount was at that time, so he asked his staff Yuan Jinkai. Yuan Jinkai told him that in ancient times, the titles were divided into five levels: duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male. Royal rewards have always been harsh, and it is rare to be awarded a second-class viscount. Of course this is nonsense, just for after-dinner conversation. Zhang Zuolin could break out of the elite den and become a prince, how could he be so short-sighted? How can something like this that is related to one's own future be such a child's play? The fact is, how could Zhang Hanqing let Zhang Zuolin destroy his "future" at this time?
"However, it is true to resign as Second Viscount. This is not cowardice, but pretending to be cowardice." Deliberately showing off the image of a big boss would not offend Yuan Shikai, who was deeply resentful, but he would also naturally reject the central government's title and reward, leaving a way for the future development of the situation. Zhang Hanqing is well aware that the impact of the "anti-imperialist" turmoil in the near future and its profound impact on the people cannot be overstated. This turmoil was directly the enlightenment of China's cooking movement and had far-reaching influence. There can be no such stain in politics today.
“Asking for leave at that time was the precursor to resignation, and resignation was the beginning of free movement. Therefore, General Duan Zhigui was so frightened that he went to the door to investigate in person, while Zhang Zuolin stayed behind closed doors. Lao Yuan wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain and asked Zhang to be the commander-in-chief of Suiyuan. Of course Zhang Zuolin refused. How could he leave his old nest in Fengtian? In order to prevent Lao Yuan from taking advantage of him, Lao Zhang immediately used Lao Yuan's pay and equipment to recruit ten battalions of new soldiers to quickly increase his strength.
At this time, Yuan Shikai received a secret report, and Zhang Zuolin ordered his staff Yuan Jinkai to draft the charter of the Fengtian Security Association. Yuan Shikai was sensitive to the fact that during the Revolution of 1911, a security association was formed in Fengtian to break away from the Qing court. Organizing the security association was a disguised form of independence. Because at this time he was already very troubled by the explosion situation in the south, and naturally he was afraid that trouble would also occur in the north and he would be attacked from both sides. He knew that there was no time to delay, so he planned to use his position as governor to stabilize Zhang Zuolin and enable him to send troops in an honest manner.
As Zhang Hanqing, who is familiar with history, he is naturally aware of the subsequent changes. But I didn't expect that Nai's father was even more skilled. As soon as he got the pay and equipment, he immediately changed his face and made a 180-degree turn. He put forward the slogan "Fengtian is governed by people", indicating that he could not leave Fengtian. This move was so beautiful that even Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but secretly admire him: Zhang Zuolin can ascend to the throne of "Northeast King", these two brushes are really not false!
As for the Fengtian Governor, if Duan Zhigui doesn’t leave for a day, everything will be in vain! Because Lao Yuan was just talking, and there was no rumor about Duan Zhigui. For Lao Zhang, just drawing a pie is not enough!
With Lao Yuan’s IQ, Zhang Zuolin’s yin and yang skills can be seen at a glance. It was impossible for Yuan Shikai not to be angry after being stabbed by him. Since Lao Zhang was in the first year of junior high school, don't blame him for being in the fifteenth year. Almost at the same time that Zhang Zuolin announced that "Fengtian should be governed by people," a trend was heard in Fengtian: President Yuan was very dissatisfied with Zhang Zuolin's betrayal and was determined to hand over the position of governor of Fengtian to Feng Delin!
It is no longer clear who was responsible for this. Just like a sudden spring breeze, all the big and small bureaucrats in Fengtian City heard the news. When it reached Zhang Zuolin's ears, he was naturally surprised. "Is it too big?" he asked Zhang Hanqing. Although he was mainly in charge of the whole process of snatching weapons and falling out, Zhang Hanqing's plan gave him the final decision. KnotIf there was a sudden relapse, he asked almost subconsciously.
Zhang Hanqing was actually surprised when he first heard it. Isn't it because of his own troubles that he changed the original course of history and caused Zhang Zuolin's originally stable title of military governor to fly away? This is really a big deal!
But when I thought about it later, it was true that Zhang Zuolin fell out, but he still maintained a more "devout" respect for the Central Committee than the southern rebels. He only "autonomy" and did not rebel against Yuan, which was enough to give old Yuan face. . At this juncture, Lao Yuan's policy should focus on stabilizing the Northeast rather than forcing Zhang Zuolin to turn against him. It is conceivable that with Zhang Zuolin's current strength and temper, if he really changes the position of military governor to Feng Delin, will the peace situation in the Northeast be still there?
So Zhang Hanqing judged that this was just a means of pressure from Lao Yuan. Not only him, but also Zhang Zuolin's think tanks Yuan Jinkai, Yang Yuting and others also believed that this was just a bluff by the central government. Moreover, there is a possibility that Feng Delin deliberately spread this rumor and wanted to fish in troubled waters. You must know that Feng Delin only has more saliva than Zhang Zuolin for the position of the governor!
It is urgent to solve the problem of the 28th Division. Who knows that Lao Yuan will not continue to use this to cause problems for Lao Zhang in the future? Not only must we defeat the 28th Division, but we must also seize the position of military governor. No one is missing! In this way, we can take serving heaven as our foundation and stay outside the customs to recuperate our energy.
How can you allow others to sleep soundly next to your bed? But how to solve it depends on the matter.
??Two opponents, one is real. Zhang Zuolin not only wanted to drive away Duan Zhigui - then he would inevitably be left with the post of Fengtian Governor; but he also wanted to defeat Feng Delin - only then could a single family make a difference. However, in terms of force, he and Feng Delin were equally matched, and both had a division of soldiers and horses - the tenth battalion of recruits was only on paper, and it was destined to be a protracted battle. But it is much easier to deal with Duan Zhigui, who is bare-handed. However, Zhang Hanqing believes that General Duan is still valuable, and there is no need to do anything to offend people personally - just leave it to Feng Delin.
Not afraid that Feng Delin won't take the bait - Zhang Zuolin has evidence that General Duan has squandered millions of public funds. This is all Fengtian's blood and sweat grease. He wants Feng Delin to settle the account "on behalf of the people". With this money , I am not afraid that Feng Delin will not be tempted.
Feng Delin, who competes with Zhang Zuolin in the same city, cannot sit back and watch Zhang Zuolin gain so many benefits: these days, if he has arms, he can recruit troops on the spot, which will further expand his strength. Zhang Zuolin got the gun. Not to be outdone, he set his sights on the money in General Duan's hand. This money was the "public money" that Zhang Zuolin wanted to liquidate for the people of Fengtian, which was Duan Zhigui's "harvest" after taking office in the Northeast. Duan Zhigui was a well-known corrupt official. He knew that Fengtian was not a place where he could stay for a long time, so he planned to flee back to Beijing with a huge amount of official money.
Want to leave? Can you leave? Not only was Feng Delin eyeing this huge sum of money, but Zhang Zuolin was also very thoughtful. These days, millions of dollars are not a small amount of money. A gunboat is only worth 100,000 yuan, an armored vehicle is only worth 20,000 yuan, a rifle is 85 yuan, a machine gun is 7,500 yuan, and even field guns and ** A set of machinery only costs 10,000 yuan. As a warlord, it would be an absolute lie to say that he cannot see this benefit.
But Zhang Zuolin was calm.
Because Zhang Hanqing said: "My father has already cheated Yuan Shikai. Due to the tight war situation, he cannot take action immediately. If he offends Duan Zhigui again, I am afraid that Yuan Shikai will immediately have new and old hatreds. He is still justified. The president still has great influence on the political situation in the north. If Uncle Feng is praised for this, it will immediately turn the good situation into a bad one.
The title of the Fengtianxun envoy is currently undecided. If Lao Yuan hands over this position to Uncle Feng, and Uncle Feng, who also has a division of troops, plus administrative power, his father's position will be immediately overpowered. For the current plan, my father still needs to befriend Duan Zhigui in the long run, but he must let Uncle Feng get this benefit. As long as Uncle Feng also turns his back, President Yuan will not be able to attack the two strong men in Fengtian at the same time. He will probably have to endure his father's robbery of arms. My father just didn't want to go south, but Uncle Feng despised the authority of the Central Committee and openly rebelled. In the impression of the Central Committee, it was easy to know which one was better and which was worse. As long as he is not stupid, Lao Yuan will never let him do anything to support his troops and respect themselves.
But Uncle Feng needs his father to personally take action and let him take action. But I think he may have been eyeing this piece of fat for a long time. With his personality, the fact that his father equipped ten battalions will definitely be exciting. to his. "
Zhang Zuolin became more and more appreciative of his son and felt quite proud of "my family's thousand-mile horse". He said it himself, but had no real intention of touching the money. It is true that money can make you stronger, but after all, the Beiyang government's remaining power is still there. Considering that he does not have an advantage in the situation in the Northeast, he will not lose big because of small things and become the target of public criticism. Zhang Hanqing can see this. I don’t know where he learned this political wisdom. Maybe he really has a tiger father and no dog son.
The father and son continued to laugh sarcastically, and a report came from outside: "Report, Mr. Feng is here to visit."
"Cao Cao will be here soon!" It was so late that Feng Delin wanted to meet him, which showed how urgent he was. Zhang Zuolin slaps his thigh, it’s exciting! He hurriedly said: "Invite him in quickly", then stood up and said: "I'd better go and greet him personally." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)p; It’s true that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here! It was so late that Feng Delin wanted to meet him, which showed how urgent he was.

Chapter 112 Drama Queen

These days, Feng Delin has been feeling aggrieved. Zhang Zuolin obtained the central government's generous equipment for ten battalions with just words, and also received a large "development fee", which out of thin air overwhelm him in terms of strength. In this era, a division was composed of 2 brigades and 4 regiments, and ten battalions were the configuration of most of the division. He must make up for the disadvantage. Without Zhang Zuolin's warning, he had already set his sights on Duan Zhigui. Although Duan Zhigui was incompetent and had no power or soldiers, he was a master of making money and got a lot of benefits from his title of "Warlord of the Three Eastern Provinces".
I didn’t dare to take action before, but when is it now? When Lao Yuan became emperor, the sky was angry and people were resentful. The southwest troops were pointing directly at Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi. He mobilized troops everywhere to put out the fire, but the fire was too strong, otherwise even the always obedient Zhang Zuolin wouldn't be able to trick him so easily, and it would be difficult to say.
??This period of Zhigui has no soldiers and no power, and is just an empty shelf of a military governor. Because he was the first military general to declare himself a minister in an official document during the restoration, he was named a first-class duke. As the saying goes, Xiao He succeeds and Xiao He fails. The current first-class master does not have a good reputation. In Cai E's and the Kuomintang's "Combat Rebellion" article, Duan Zhigui was listed as one of the seven murderers and demanded that he be "clearly punished".
He is now a patient with a treasure in his arms, and is no match for Feng Delin, a strong man. As the saying goes, I will kill you while you are sick. Since Zhang Zuolin made a lot of money by cheating on Yuan Shikai without losing anything at all, why don't he try the same method and get some benefits? Taking advantage of Zhang Zuolin's big show of "serving people and governing people" and becoming a man of the hour, if he decisively attacked Duan Zhigui, Lao Yuan would not dare to make a big move at this time, right? If you want to move, the first blow should be towards Zhang Zuolin!
So Feng Delin’s plan has been decided. No matter what, he will eat the money in Duan Zhigui’s hands. According to a rough estimate, with him scraping off Fengtian's public funds, a few million shouldn't be a problem. With this money, he can also calm down the depression about Zhang Zuolin's previous big head.
But he had to know Zhang Zuolin in advance. How could he know that the other party didn't have the same idea? His ally dared to cheat even Yuan Shikai. Just when he was doing nothing but doing nothing, he would turn a blind eye to the fat on his lips? If he had said he wanted to take action first, Zhang Zuolin would not have been able to hold him back. However, if you take long steps, your crotch will be easily pulled. Although Feng Delin had made up his mind, he was still a little timid yesterday. He also wanted to drag Zhang Zuolin into the sea together, but of course the premise was that Zhang Zuolin could not open his mouth like a lion. So even though the two of them had been traveling less recently because of their overt and covert fights, he still decided to take the initiative to visit.
"Third brother, why didn't you tell me that you came in person?" This was Zhang Zuolin's attentive greeting, and he took Zhang Hanqing out of the camp gate to greet him. After surrendering to the Qing court, the original eight bearded leaders worshiped together, with Feng Delin ranked third and Zhang Zuolin the seventh.
"Seventh brother, I know you are busy, so I won't waste your time. I came here this time because I want to talk to you about something." Feng Delin got straight to the point and went straight to the point.
Zhang Zuolin knew what was going on, but he didn’t say anything. He took his hand and said, “Let’s talk in the house if we have anything to say.”
Zhang Hanqing greeted Feng Delin politely. This was the second time the two met. Although they had a small holiday in Beijing, Feng Delin had something on his mind, and the silly conflict before was no longer a problem. As he walked, he said to Zhang Zuolin: "I heard that Governor Duan is going back to Beijing. Does seventh brother know about this?"
How could you not know? As the overlord stationed in the provincial capital of Fengtian, what matters in the provincial capital did not go through Zhang Zuolin's ears? Alliance brother Tang Yulin's spy team is very efficient. Besides, Zhang Zuolin had been staring at the chair under Governor Duan's butt for more than a day or two.
"You know, Governor Duan is going back to Beijing to report on his duties. I heard he will be leaving the day after tomorrow."
"What's the report? This old guy is probably going to run away! Seventh brother, have you heard that Duan has collected a lot of people's money from Fengtian? It is said that it is piled up in a carriage. If we let him go like this, how can we be worthy of it? Fathers and brothers of Fengtian?" Feng Delin expressed indignation. Different people in the same city, he was also wary of his ally, and would pull him into trouble if he did bad things.
"Well, Zuolin has heard about this a little bit. But Governor Duan is a high official of the state and your and my superior. If he wants to do something illegal, he can only report it to the central government and let the president handle it." Zhang Zuolin said politely .
I don’t know why this ally who has always been bold and bold suddenly became timid. Feng Delin was immersed in his own little calculation. He said angrily: "What boss, he is just a lackey! He was originally an official of the Qing Dynasty, and he encouraged the Northeast He is the chief culprit for supporting the president to proclaim himself emperor and ruining the current situation to this point! It is a shame to let this lackey still ride on our heads, and we should expel him as soon as possible! What do you think, seventh brother?"
Although for the authorThe younger generation Zhang Zuolin was extremely dissatisfied with him being on equal footing, but Feng Delin always believed that they were in internal conflict. They should stand together to deal with Duan Zhigui sent by Yuan Shikai, and there was no shortage of people who had to deal with Duan Zhigui first and then use their strength to fight Zhang Zuolin. The idea of ????a competition. Without Zhang Zuolin's support, he would not have the courage to challenge Duan Zhigui, even though the other party had positions but no power.
We must know that no matter how incompetent the central government of the Republic of China is, it still has considerable strength. Especially due to the centralization of power in the past few years when Yuan Shikai was in power, by the beginning of 1916, there were a total of 33 army divisions and 97 mixed brigades (including some independent infantry and cavalry regiments) directly under the jurisdiction of the Beiyang government and attached to the army, with a total strength of 1.2 million people. , half of them are direct descendants of Beiyang. This kind of power is something that unruly and unruly people like Zhang Zuolin, as well as ambitious and talented people like Feng Delin, etc. cannot hope to match. It is enough to kill all opposition forces in an instant. If it weren't for the big bosses in charge of the army who had their own plans, Lao Yuan would never have the power to restrain him when he proclaimed himself emperor, which was also his confidence.
Zhang Zuolin was secretly happy when he heard this. He really felt "very close to me". However, he still pretended to be embarrassed and said: "General Duan was a nobleman of my father and Zuolin back then, and we have been reborn with kindness. Although I am not ashamed of his various actions, I would like Zuolin to do something unjust to him." , I am afraid that I will be laughed at by the people in the green forest, and I will not be able to see my father underground in the future."
His attitude made Feng Delin feel happy and sad. What I am happy about is that I can eat alone, but what I am worried about is that if Zhang Zuolin stands aside and watches, the risk will be on his shoulders alone. When he was young, he could be unscrupulous, but now that he is old and has a big family, he doesn't dare to take some risks.
no! Even if Zhang Zuolin doesn't take action, he still needs his moral support! Feng Delin had already made a plan before he came. When he saw this, he smiled and said, "Seventh brother is a loyal person. I admire him very much. But if you know what Duan Zhigui does in private, it's not too late to make up your mind." !" He paused and said, "Recently, there is news about Governor Yi from the provincial capital of Fengtian. Seventh brother, do you know who it is?"
Zhang Zuolin looked surprised: "Did Duan Zhigui have any involvement in this matter?"
Feng Delin made an angry gesture: "It's not just the hands and feet, it was all done by him! The seventh brother started to 'serve others and govern the servants'. Brother, I agreed. Seeing that the trend was getting stronger, this guy surnamed Duan came up with an idea to alienate our brothers. He deliberately It is said that President Yuan asked his brother to be the governor of Fengtian. In fact, he wanted to stir up discord between our brothers! Brother, the main reason why I drove him away is still here!"
Zhang Zuolin suddenly realized: "No wonder rumors are flying all over Fengtian City. It turns out that this guy named Duan is fanning the flames!" He suddenly said sincerely: "He is also discerning and knows that with the reputation of the third brother, he can do this Governor Fengtian can convince people. However, his alienation plan is not very clever. Even if the rumors come true, at least I will not have any objections, brother. In this way, this Duan is really a scourge and should be driven away!"
Seeing that Zhang Zuolin had been impressed, Feng Delin immediately said excitedly: "It is indeed true!"
Zhang Zuolin hesitated and said: "But he is unkind, and I can't be unjust - Third brother, I can't attack him, but I support you! Whether it's for the friendship between you and me as brothers, or for his surname Duan as the culprit of the imperial system , he has to leave Fengtian both privately and publicly!"
Feng Delin said with great joy: "That's exactly it."
At this time, both of them had a tacit agreement not to mention that they had been pioneers in advocating for imperialism. Although there were many telegrams from the two expressing their determination to Yuan Shikai as evidence, and there were also thousands of witnesses at the Fengtian meeting to prove it. Zhang Zuolin worked hard and made great contributions to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy.
Although Feng Delin was surprised by Zhang Zuolin's "ganghu style", he did not doubt him, but was happy in his heart: "People say that Zhang Zuolin is a hero, but it seems to be exaggerated: the ancients said that those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial details. How long have they been, and they still read the so-called" Morality'." Although he thought so, he said hypocritically: "Since it is not convenient for Yuting to come forward, then the 28th Division will come forward to drive Duan"
Zhang Hanqing, who was accompanying him, witnessed the wonderful performance of the two elders and couldn't help but secretly praise: "They are all worthy of being drama queens!" In order to make the scene more smooth, he said: "Uncle Feng has great insights and drives Duan. The interests of the country cannot be tolerated based on personal feelings. Although it is inconvenient for his father to come forward, he still has to do his best. In this way, his father came forward to persuade him to leave Feng, and Uncle Feng used force to coerce him. General Duan saw that both his uncle and his father had clear attitudes. Naturally, he cannot stay in Fengtian. The aftermath is all decided by his uncle. My father will stay indifferent to avoid suspicion, but he just needs to save General Duan's life. After all, there is a love of incense, and my father can avoid being criticized. It's worthy of Uncle Shiyi. This is what my nephew thinks is the best of both worlds."
This proposal is very good, especially the conclusion that “the aftermath is all decided” is exactly what Feng Delin meant. You, Zhang Zuolin, should be a good person and take the initiative to give up the benefits to avoid suspicion. You benefited from Lao Yuan some time ago, and now he wants to make up for it from Lao Duan. Several million dollars is more than enough to equip ten battalions of infantry.
The two sides hit it off and decided to let Feng Delin's 28th Division play the bad guy and have a head-on conflict with him. Feng Delin would naturally get the benefit. Zhang Zuolin's 27th Division would play the bad guy, trying to scare him into fleeing in fear of crime, but they couldn't let him have any chance. The worry about life is naturally Zhang Zuolin's advantage. The common purpose of the two is to let Yuan Shikai's people know that the people of Fengtian are not easy to mess with!

So Zhang Zuolin arranged for the army to open fire one night, and then pretended to report to Duan Zhigui that Feng Delin was going to lead the 28th Division into the city to punish Duan Zhigui, the culprit of the imperial system. Zhang Zuolin said that he could not stop it. Duan Zhigui was very nervous after hearing this. Zhang Zuolin took the opportunity to persuade Duan Zhigui to stay away. Duan Zhigui felt that this was a good idea. After calling the Central Committee for approval, he took the opportunity to seize a huge amount of official funds and some arms and took a special train to Tianjin.
Zhang Zuolin secretly sent someone to inform Feng Delin of all this, and openly sent Zhang Zuolin's confidant Brigadier Sun Liechen of the 54th Brigade to personally escort him. However, when the train arrived at Goubangzi Station, a regiment from the Ji Jinchun Brigade of the 28th Division that Feng Delin had already arranged intercepted the train at Goubangzi Station. The leader of the regiment, Qiu Enrong, got on the bus and handed over two telegrams in the name of Fengtian soldiers and civilians, which said: "The outgoing general Duan Zhigui is the culprit of the imperial system. The people of Fengtian are planning to impose the punishment they deserve, but they dare to carry two million provincial official funds." The people of Fengtian all expressed their hatred for the huge merging of arms and weapons, and they fled in fear of crime. They sent a message to Brigadier Ji to send troops to intercept and take him to Fengtian and deal with him according to law." The soldiers all rushed to the platform with guns and ammunition, and the situation was tense.
Duan Zhigui showed the telegram to Sun Liechen. After reading it, Sun Liechen said loudly and dissatisfied: "This is unreasonable, wait until I ask." He got off the car and went to the box office to talk to Commander Qiu, but Huang He left without any news. Duan Zhigui was panicked when he saw that Sun Liechen had not returned for a long time. He immediately ordered the official funds and arms to be unloaded and piled on the platform.
Seeing all this, Sun Liechen got on the car and reported: "People from all walks of life in Fengtian are fierce, and they must intercept the special car and escort it back. After many discussions with Deputy Director Zhang, they agreed not to detain the special car, but the official funds and arms must be counted and left behind." , and called the Central Committee to investigate and deal with it." Duan Zhigui quickly nodded in approval and ordered that they be taken back to Commander Qiu for inventory.
Zhang Zuolin's goal had been achieved and he gave up when he saw fit. Duan Zhigui was immediately released and escaped from Fengtian in despair. However, when sending Buddha to the west, Zhang Zuolin still asked Sun Liechen to lead a battalion to escort him to Tianjin, which was full of favor. Duan Zhigui also felt that Zhang Lin was loyal enough, but was very dissatisfied with Feng Delin. After all, the stolen money he had worked so hard to scrape ended up being used for wedding clothes for others, and it was Feng Delin who benefited. After he arrived in Beijing, he met with Yuan Shikai and strongly recommended Zhang Zuolin, while he severely reprimanded Feng Delin.
Feng Delin was overjoyed to have received a huge sum of money, but he was unprepared for the seriousness of the incident. If he knew that his short-sighted behavior was the countdown clock to his own downfall, I wonder if he would still do it, or still be so excited.
Of course Zhang Zuolin has been interested in this huge sum of money for a long time, and of course he wants a share of it. However, Zhang Hanqing knew clearly that after Yuan Shikai, power belonged to Duan Qirui (old Duan), and Duan Zhigui (little Duan) had a close relationship with him. In order to "have something to say when we meet" in the future, some things have to be endured.
"Of course, it is not Zhang Zuolin's style to hand over these important official funds and arms to Feng Delin so cheaply and let him become powerful. He would rather break up than break up. However, in order to lure Feng Delin to come forward, he promised to give him all the benefits. It would be a bit too mean to reach out like this. Lao Zhang is not such a person.
Fortunately, the father and son had a plan beforehand, and Zhang Hanqing was confident that he could make Feng Delin spit out the fat in his mouth.
On the eve of Duan Zhigui's departure from Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin felt that it was time to formally seize power in Fengtian, so he officially announced the "Charter of the Fengtian Security Association", which was a replica of the "Declaration of Independence" proposed by the provinces at this time. Yuan Jinkai also came forward to incite business gentry and groups from all walks of life to advocate the establishment of self-government, and promoted it as "serving people and governing the people".
Yuan Shikai was surprised when he found out the news. However, at this time, anti-Yuan uprisings led by Sun Yat-sen broke out in Shandong, Hunan, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, Anhui, Jiangxi and other provinces. Yuan's old troops in various places defected in order to protect themselves. . If there is another trouble in the three eastern provinces, once Zhang Zuolin leads his troops into the pass, he will be attacked from both sides.
It seemed that Zhang Zuolin could no longer satisfy him as General Fengtian. Against this background, Yuan Shikai, who had thought twice, did not dare to send anyone else to Fengtian, so he had to choose one person between Feng Delin and Zhang Zuolin to officially take over the military and political power of Fengtian. . When he was considering candidates for governor, he consulted Duan Zhigui for his opinion.
In fact, the candidates at that time could only be one of Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin. This was determined by strength. Duan Zhigui hated the bad-faced Feng Delin, so he recommended Zhang Zuolin.
Yuan Shikai's impression of Zhang Zuolin was not bad at first, but later he became very dissatisfied with Zhang Zuolin's behavior of making money while not working hard, so he wanted to return the favor in office. In his plan, Zhang Zuolin was appointed as General Fengtian, and Feng Delin was appointed as Assistant Military Affairs Officer. However, he also held the important post of Fengtian Patrol Envoy (i.e. provincial governor), which still served as a constraint for Zhang Zuolin. This was Yuan's angry response to Zhang Zuolin's double-dealing and double-dealing.
Because Zhang Zuolin ostensibly serves as the military governor and has considerable real power. But considering that Feng Delin also has a large number of troops, the part-time job of this patrol envoy will be different, leaving Zhang Zuolin helpless.
Duan Zhigui was very dissatisfied with Feng Delin. At this time, Zhang Zuolin's good character took advantage: "If the president does this, not only will Zhang Zuolin be very angry, but the situation will be even more difficult to control; as far as Feng Delin is concerned, he will also take advantage of it, which makes people all over the world How can I be convinced?" The so-called "people of the world" are actually him.
After repeated consideration, Yuan Shikai finally gave up his revenge at this time, but he still felt like a thorn in his heart.
Duan Zhigui’s words made the hesitant Yuan Shikai finally make a decision. On April 22, President Yuan Da issued an order appointing Zhang Zuolin, commander of the 27th Division, as General Shengjing to supervise Fengtian military affairs. He also appointed him as Fengtian Patrol Envoy (equivalent to the commander of the provincial military region and the commander of the armed police force and the provincial general). Chief), is actually the top military and political leader in Fengtian.
Although Feng Delin, the commander of the 28th Division who was jumping up and down, was the commander of the same division, he was appointed as Assistant Military Affairs Officer (deputy position), ranking below Zhang. Yuan Shikai and Duan Zhigui regard Zhang and Feng as their principal and deputy positions respectively, so they may not have the intention to sow discord.
The title of the military commander of each province was called Dudu under the Nanjing Provisional Government. During Yuan Shikai's period, it was changed to General. Later, because the name "General" was too smelly and had a bit of an imperial flavor, it was renamed "Governor".
The governor is the military commander of a province. He is at the same level as the provincial governor. One is in charge of the army and the other is in charge of government. Originally, each performed its own duties and did not belong to the other. But in the warlord era, the power of a provincial governor was far greater than that of the provincial governor. A powerful governor could even directly decide whether the provincial governor would stay or go. Since it was common for military men to interfere in politics, civilian governors could only look at the faces of military governors. This is why Tan Yankai later joked that "the governor is the mother-in-law, and the governor is the daughter-in-law." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 114: Turning hands into rain
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing had prepared an article long ago, and Zhang Zuolin had someone publish it in full in the "Fengtian Times" in a timely manner, explaining this public case in detail. Outsiders don't know who the main author is, but they see that his literary talent is outstanding. The article even asked a direct question at the end: "Where is the wealth and wealth of the people now? The wealth scraped from the people of Fengtian will not resist the wolf with one foot and enter the tiger's den with the other foot, right? Whose hands will the weapons that are a weapon of the country enter?" If this is the case, then there is a nest of snakes and rats in the world, so what justice can be said? And what can be said about asking for orders for the people? The people of Fengtian must take a look and see whose pocket these stolen money have gone into?!"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT However, although Duan Zhigui is also corrupt, he is an important member of the Central Committee after all. Such insult to a government official or immediate boss is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Although Feng Delin's actions also had the element of asking for orders for the people, they were too cunning and were all for his own selfish interests, unlike Zhang Zuolin who was dedicated to the public good.
The Fengtian High Procuratorate, the Fengtian Provincial Council, and the Fengtian Allies of All Parties all asked Zhang Zuolin how to deal with it, and either published newspapers or came to inquire about the results. After Duan Zhigui cried and complained to Yuan Shikai about Fengtian and his party, Yuan Shikai also asked the provincial government for repayment and asked Feng Delin in a stern voice what he wanted to do! Major newspapers in Beijing and Tianjin forwarded the news from Fengtian Times on their front pages. Some even used editorials to criticize, and some dug up eight generations of Feng Delin's ancestors to verify whether Feng Delin was behind the scenes. There are reverse bones. Although Lao Yuan is an inverted camel, his strength is still considerable.
Seeing the fierce public sentiment, Zhang Zuolin thought that "nothing could be done", so he had to see Feng Delin in person to consult on how to deal with it.
How could Feng Delin have imagined that something could become so big? He just wants to take advantage, okay? This big boss has no experience in dealing with public opinion. He also wants to send someone to shut down the "Fengtian Times" and seize the main writer and editor to see if they dare to write nonsense?
“How long has it been since then that he still used this method of creating a literary inquisition to do things on the propaganda front? Even big bosses such as Zhang Zuolin disdain to do it, and he also knows how to coax and deceive the literati, because the literati cherish that little bit of character too much. If Feng Delin wants to use force, it will only add fuel to the fire. In addition, the figure behind the "Fengtian Times" can be guessed with your toes that he must be related to Zhang Hanqing. Lao Zhang is a well-known person, because the instigator, Zhang Hanqing, received his instructions.
Feng Delin's subordinates were not without understanding people. His brigade commanders Ji Jinchun and Zhang Haipeng both advised him: "The top priority is to clear this matter up as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause public outrage and our 28th Division will not be a good person. Let's talk about this matter again. What he did was not honest. He just robbed it, but he still wanted to announce it to the world, lest people didn't know. Wasn't this deliberately making Duan Zhigui hate the teacher?
Feng Delin also thought that 90% to 90% of the time it was Zhang Zuolin who caused the trouble. This man appears to be a rough guy, but in fact he is very sophisticated. First he encouraged himself to become a villain, and now he plays the "righteous man" image in all directions. This is really intolerable!
How to clear it up? Zhang Zuolin would not be stupid enough to hide it for him and say that the property has been handed over to the public. For this purpose, he would only be willing to take some money for himself if he benefited from it. He tentatively asked Zhang Zuolin: "Brother Yuting, both your family and I contributed to the exorcism. Do you think, brother, I can add part of the money from two to one to five, and you managed to calm the matter down?"
Zhang Zuolin is now the nominal civil affairs envoy. He has the final say in the provincial government. Giving him some benefits and involving him to deal with the aftermath is easier and more reliable than any other method. After all, someone needs to tie the bell to untie it.
Zhang Zuolin heard something between the lines: half of the stolen money (public funds) was shared by each person, but the arms issue was not mentioned at all. Is it possible that at this time, Lao Feng is still thinking of embezzling it for himself? Two million dollars is good, but it's not as practical as arms. I newly equipped ten battalions and also received 10,000 guns from the Central Committee. But can an army only have guns? There must also be cannons, baggage, horses, ammunition Besides, there are also consumption, right? If you get money yourself, you don't have to try to buy arms. If you have ready-made ones, Feng Delin can get it cheaper!
He persuaded earnestly: "Brother Ge Chen, who do you think I am, Zhang Zuolin? Do you think I am asking for benefits from you? There is a lot of noise in Fengtian now. I think this matter will be settled first. Brother, if you don't express anything at all, , I can't hide it from everyone. As for the money, half of it can be handed over to the provincial treasury first, and my brother can also share an appropriate amount with the two guardian envoys of Wu and Ma, and then I will try to balance the account."
Feng Delin was almost angry to death. Despite Zhang Zuolin’s grandiose words, he only had one motive: asking for money. Half of the stolen money went into the provincial treasury, didn't it just go into his pocket in disguise? What can't be hidden from everyone? It's you who always opens your mouth! The most hateful thing is that he has used himself to earn enough benefits. His position has stabilized his head, and now he doesn't even have this little money.Give it all to yourself!
??????????????????????? However, people have to bow their heads under the roof. This matter has caused quite a big fuss, and if it continues to escalate, it will inevitably affect his status. Feng Delin retreated and asked for the next best thing: "Brother Yuting, there are only two divisions of you and me in Fengtian. In the end, only our two families will share the stolen money. How about this, I will withdraw half first, and the two families will share it equally, and it will be paid into the treasury." ,what do you think?"
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We have worked so hard to endure all kinds of unjust accusations, for the benefits which only evil men have obtained, and now they are asking for half of it to be shared with others, and to give them a good reputation, Lao Feng’s heart is bleeding. He felt like he had been stabbed.
Pingkong had received so many benefits, but Zhang Zuolin was still not satisfied: "It's still wrong to think about it. There are two patrol teams in Fengtian, the rear and right patrols, and they can't guarantee that they won't complain. According to Zuolin, they still have to be taken care of this time. As for the arms. It's really hot. Brothers don't dare to ask for it, so it's better to hand it over to the central government. Half of the official funds will be paid to the national treasury, which convinced me to convince everyone. Of course, brother Ge Chen also gave the two patrol teams a little sweetness, otherwise They have been quarreling and the matter has not subsided. After all, my brother's face is not good-looking. As for Zuolin, he just wants to settle the matter as soon as possible and will not ask for half of the official money. Whether it is feasible or not needs to be figured out by Brother Ge Chen."
What the hell, this is taking advantage of someone else! They still refused to share half of the official funds, and insisted on giving the remaining favors to Wu and Ma. They still tried to figure it out, what the hell! Feng Delin's heart was bleeding: He was unwilling to share the money between the two patrol teams, but what was even more irritating was that Zhang Zuolin got half of the benefit without saying a word, and he was forced to give part of it to others. It is Zhang Zuolin who is famous, after all, he is the military governor of Fengtian!
It’s all inappropriate from the beginning: it’s inappropriate not to give, and it’s inappropriate to give half. If you give the big head, you won’t be afraid of other people’s opinions and can suppress them. Anyway, you just want to get a piece of the pie from him. I was in such disgrace, but in the end I was making wedding clothes for others. Isn't this a fucking obvious way of bullying others?
Old and new hatreds surged into my heart. I was more qualified than Zhang Zuolin, but he came from behind and became my immediate boss. I wanted to get some benefits, but he took the big deal with him. Not only did Zhang Zuolin slap him in the face, he also sat on his head and shit! Feng Delin gritted his teeth with hatred, and he was so ashamed and humiliated that he secretly swore: After this matter is over, he will not be a human being unless he regains his place!
Half of the two million yuan went to the "public" - that is, it went into Zhang Zuolin's pocket in disguise, and the remaining three families were divided. Wu Junsheng and Ma Longtan, who had received benefits for no reason, would not believe that Feng Delin could be so kind, so the favor fell on Zhang Zuolin, but on the surface, Lao Zhang did not get a penny!
You can imagine Feng Delin’s pain when he handed over the money, but what was even more painful was handing over all the arms. He himself doesn't have the face to negotiate with the Central Committee anymore. What if Lao Yuan insists on disgusting him and lets Duan Zhigui handle it? The one who does this must fall on Lao Zhang.
Frankly speaking, Zhang Zuolin still had some determination to bear not "returning all the stolen money to the public", but when faced with that batch of arms, the general who grew up in the flames of war could no longer calm down, and he wanted to delay it. We are waiting for the "big changes in the future" mentioned by Zhang Hanqing. His wishful thinking is that after another month or two, the situation will be favorable to him, and he can boldly swallow it.
But Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "It's not necessary. Since my father has made a fair gesture, he shouldn't let the small gain come to the fore. He should continue to do it to the end to show others. And based on the thoughts of the man in Beijing, I am afraid that his current mentality is thinking Thinking about how to prevent my father from rebelling against the situation, he will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to do favors, and the result will be better."
So Zhang Zuolin called Yuan Shikai hypocritically and asked how to deal with this arms? Sure enough, as long as Lao Yuan is not stupid, he will definitely be accommodating - Lao Zhang dared to steal arms for arms, but now that he has arms in hand, he will be so generous as to "ask" for disposal? Lao Yuan, a supervisor and patrol envoy, is willing to give up. Will his hard-earned kindness be wasted because of this small amount of arms? Therefore, with a stroke of his pen: "In troubled times, General Zhang will handle everything by himself, and there is no need to hand it over."
?As expected.
Now, Zhang Zuolin can legally distribute this arms - it is not Feng Delin's, not even Duan Zhigui's, but approved by the Central Committee for his use. Therefore, justifiably, they circled around Zhang Zuolin's army and then disappeared into the army again.
Poor Lao Zhang is immersed in the pride of succeeding in his serial plan. A huge sum of one million dollars and a large amount of arms blinded him. However, Zhang Hanqing was very sober. He poured cold water on his father at the right time: "Father, Deputy Feng is a person who never suffers losses. This time he has made such a big detour. It is impossible not to have objections to my father. Be careful of him stumbling upon my father."
Zhang Zuolin was full of confidence: "I am the governor of Fengtian appointed by the state, and I am also responsible for civil affairs. I have as many soldiers as him, and I have as much money as him. He, Feng Delin, is just my deputy, what big trouble can he make?"
Under pressure from all parties, most of the stolen goods spit out by Feng Delin were "borrowed and put into treasury" by Zhang Zuolin and put into his pocket. But strangely, the straightforward Fengtian people felt that Zhang Zuolin was still affectionate and would not do anything to add insult to injury. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Under pressure, most of the stolen goods that Feng Delin spit out were "borrowed and put into storage" by Zhang Zuolin, and they were turned around and put into his pocket.

The reason why Zhang Zuolin took the risk of offending Feng Delin but did not take the opportunity to sweep away all the stolen goods and insisted on giving Wu Junsheng and Ma Longtan a piece of the pie was not because he was afraid of looking bad, but because he heard that the situation was not good for him.
He was not yet excited about being appointed as General Shengwu and Inspector General, but he heard bad news. How could Yuan Shikai, who was so good at strategy, be so confident in leaving Fengtian to him alone? What's more, Lao Zhang's recent performance also made him a little frightened and expressed serious uneasiness. If Feng Delin doesn't catch his eye, he can still contain Zhang Zuolin. Now because of a small section, he has adopted the line of promoting Zhang Zuolin, but it does not mean that he will increase Zhang Zuolin's status uncontrollably.
The four powerful figures in Fengtian are the two division commanders Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin, and the two guardian envoys Ma Longtan and Wu Junsheng.
Wu Junsheng was originally used by Yuan Shikai as the third line to balance the forces of Feng and Zhang, and served as the Taoliao garrison envoy and commander of the second cavalry brigade. Although not as powerful as Feng and Zhang, their military ranks are all lieutenant general. Yuan Shikai's use of Wu Junsheng and Wu's rising status and prestige had already aroused Zhang Zuolin's suspicion.
Speaking of the two later generations of chief officials, there was still a lot of discord at this time, although they were both Zhang Zuolin's first brothers: Ma Longtan was the eldest brother, and Wu Jun was promoted to the second brother.
After the Russo-Japanese War, in order to deal with the treasonous Mongolian bandit Tao Ketaoming, Xu Shichang, the governor of the three eastern provinces, recruited Zhang Zuolin into Liaoyuan to suppress the bandits together with Wu Junsheng and others, who were also commanders of the patrol battalion. Wu Junsheng entered the military world earlier than Zhang Zuolin, and had been stationed in Zhengjiatun for many years, so he regarded himself as the boss and did not take Zhang Zuolin seriously. Therefore, he was very disgusted with Zhang Zuolin's arrival and adopted a discriminatory attitude.
At first, Wu Junsheng did not allow Zhang Zuolin's troops to camp in the city. It was the rainy season, and Zhang Zuolin's patrol camp encountered difficulties with food and accommodation. After negotiation, Wu Junsheng reluctantly agreed to enter the city, but he still set up obstacles in all aspects and made things difficult in every possible way. Zhang Zuolin had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the people and the place. He wanted to get close to Wu Junsheng, so he paid a visit in person, but he was given a cold reception.
Wu Junsheng said to Zhang with ulterior motives at the reception banquet held for Zhang Zuolin: "Well, well, it's good that you're here this time! These bandits have always bullied weak soldiers. I, Wu Xingquan, have been ordered to suppress bandits for many years, but with little success and bloodshed. Quite a few, well, well, it's better if you come!" He mocked Zhang Zuolin, who was born in Green Forest. Wu Junsheng also knowingly asked Zhang Zuolin when he was recruited in front of everyone, making Zhang Zuolin very embarrassed and ashamed. However, Zhang Zuolin was a veteran in the world, so he still suppressed his anger and forced a smile to socialize, so that the Jie Feng Banquet did not break down.
However, in that campaign to suppress the bandits, Zhang Zuolin became a blockbuster. He successfully pursued and suppressed the Mongolian rebel bandits and received a commendation from the Qing court. Zhang Zuolin, who returned in triumph, is no longer the Zhang Zuolin who was laughed at by Wu Junsheng a year ago. In order to put aside the past grudges and make friends, Wu Junsheng asked to see him many times, but Zhang Zuolin turned him away. In the end, Wu Junsheng overcame various "difficulties" and Daolinjian showed weakness, and the two were tied.
The final event that caused the gap between the two men occurred after the Wuchang Uprising. At that time, the struggle between revolution and counter-revolution in Fengtian City became increasingly acute. The revolutionaries in Fengtian secretly discussed independence. They elected Lan Tianwei, the commander of the Second Mixed Association of the Army, as the governor and Wu Jinglian, director of the Fengtian Consultation Bureau, as the chief of civil affairs. They wanted to expel Zhao Erxun, the governor of the three northeastern provinces, and declared the independence of the three northeastern provinces. . After hearing the news, Zhao felt isolated and helpless and wanted to recruit foreign troops to defend himself. "Perhaps Zhang Zuolin and Wu Junsheng, the commander of the rear patrol team, could be trusted for their loyalty and bravery, so he sent an urgent call to summon them."
At this time, Zhang Zuolin was in charge of suppressing the Taonan area. After hearing the news, he immediately led his cavalry to march southward at night. In less than three days, they reached Fengtian. The remaining troops advanced and stationed heavy troops in the city. They were replaced by Jin Daojian, the patrol commander on the middle road. As a result, both horses and infantry were under control.
However, Wu Junsheng was hesitant when he first received the telegram. Because he was not packed properly, he ordered his troops to set off the next morning. "On the day of Jiedan, before Wu Jun rose, a knight came to the city with a thorn and said: "General Zhang led his troops to pass here. Due to the strict order, he did not dare to stay. He ordered someone to come with a thorn and meet him in the province. When Wu Junsheng heard this, he was dumbfounded and silent for a long time. Then he realized that it was a mistake to act too late. He sighed and said: "What kind of god is Mr. Zhang!" "
This statement may have some elements of romance, but I am afraid that in Wu Junsheng’s heart, Zhang Zuolin is really a magical existence. Anyway, from then on, Wu Junsheng no longer had any conflicts with Zhang Zuolin, but concentrated on the war to exterminate the Mongolian bandits - it is said to be a war because since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian forces have always had immortal independence with the support of Japan or Russia | Li Xin, the intermittent suppression of bandits in official history did not come to an end until the 10th year of the Republic of China. In terms of time, it is comparable to the Anti-Japanese War.
However, Wu Junsheng’s victory in quelling the Wutai rebellion shattered the plot of Tsarist Russia in a historical sense and safeguarded the unity of the country and the unity of the nation; from a personal perspective, he also became famous outside the Great Wall for his bravery and good fighting skills. Some people commented that Wu Chun was a martial artist and had no politics.He is a capable man, but he is strong by nature. When he is present in actual combat, his fighting skills are unparalleled among the military commanders. His opinion is not unfair.
Just a month ago, Duan Zhigui planned to let Wu Junsheng serve as the garrison of Dongmeng. Although the decision ended because Duan was expelled, Zhang Zuolin kept it in mind. In order to avoid Wu Junsheng's control, Zhang Zuolin recommended Ma Longtan as the governor of Dongbian Road to contain Wu Junsheng, and cleverly defeated Yuan Shikai's move. Ma Longtan is Zhang Zuolin's ally. He is similar in age to Feng Delin. He is a pure soldier and has never had political ambitions. This is one of the reasons why Zhang Zuolin is relatively assured of him and strongly supports his rise to power.
When Zhang Zuolin thought about it, his 27th Division, plus the 10 newly built battalions, were more than enough to completely compete with the 28th Division; he had Ma Longtan on his side, but Wu Junsheng and Feng Delin had never peed into the same pot. The advantage was their own. This is also one of the important reasons why he dared to extend his black hands to Feng Delin.
However, Wu Jun's rise to power inevitably led to an increase in self-confidence. He secretly discussed with Ma Longtan, the governor of Dongbian Road in the provincial capital: "During the tenure of General Zhen'an (Duan Zhigui), the authority of the two of us was slightly higher than that of the general. The present system has been abolished. , although General Shengwu is a supervisor, he is also a full-time official appointed by the Central Committee, and the envoy class is not under General Shengwu, so there is no need to use the words 'cheng', 'zhi' and other words in the future."
After all, Ma Longtan was supported by Zhang Zuolin, so he told Zhang Zuolin the original words. Zhang Zuolin said angrily: "Wu Xingquan wants to be on an equal footing with me! I can't touch Feng Delin, but I can't touch you!" In terms of official position, he is the supervisor, and Feng Delin is the deputy, so he really can't do anything. But Wu Junsheng was just a guardian envoy.
Zhang Hanqing knows that Wu Junsheng is one of the strongest ties in official history, and he has second thoughts now. It’s impossible for everyone to obey you and treat you as king as soon as your bastard temper comes, right? No matter how much you serve as Superintendent Fengtian, you are only a lieutenant general and a division commander, and you cannot have any personal influence on Lao Wu, because he is also a local official who accepts the Central Committee's orders.
He said euphemistically: "This is Commander Wu trying to test his father, but he has the capital now. If his father attacks him, then push him to Assistant Feng. I guess that is what Lao Feng wants, right?" After all, he weakened his father's power without spending a penny! My father always admired Liu Bang, saying that he was a rogue but achieved great things, but you remember that when he was threatened by his general Han Xin at the critical moment of the Chu-Han War, he was How?"
This matter is very famous in history.
At that time, Liu Bang was not completely healed from the arrow shot by Xiang Yu, and it happened that Liu Bang failed to encircle Zhongli Mei but was forced to retreat by Xiang Yu's counterattack. He was too busy to take care of himself and was hoping that Han Xin could support him. Han Xin took the opportunity to send an envoy to request to be the "fake king of Qi". The so-called "fake" means agency.
After Liu Bang read Han Xin's letter, he became angry and cursed in front of the envoy: "I was trapped in Guangwu by Xiang Yu. I was waiting for you, Han Xin, to rescue me day and night. Not only did you not come, you actually wanted to make yourself king. It's really unreasonable." !" Fortunately, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping were relatively calm. They quickly stepped on Liu Bang's feet and quietly said to him: "The situation is very unfavorable to us now. How can we not let Han Xin become king on his own? Why not take this opportunity to make it happen? He, make him king, treat him well, and let him guard Qi. Otherwise, I am afraid something will happen, which will be even more detrimental to us."
Liu Bang was such a smart man. He suddenly realized that he was angry and rejoiced. He changed his words and cursed: "A man has conquered south and north and conquered so many territories and cities. If you want to be a king, just be a real king. Why should you be a fake king? Really?" You have no future!" Liu Bang cursed and changed the meaning of his words. He first scolded Han Xin for being dishonest and seeking credit for the king, but later he scolded Han Xin for his lack of future and that he should really be the king of Qi. Because Liu Bang responded accordingly, to Han Xin's envoy, Liu Bang's words sounded like he was angry, but he seemed to be complaining about Han Xin.
Later, Han Xin sent troops, and only then could there be an ambush from all sides, only then could there be the siege of Gaixia, only then could Wujiang commit suicide, and only then could the Han family have conquered the world for eight hundred years.
"I guess someone drugged Wu Junsheng, just to make his father unable to control the situation. If Wu Junsheng doesn't mess up, and Ma Longtan has a good relationship with his father, Feng Delin alone is definitely no match for his father. So, if you give some good things appropriately, then The two of them will not turn against each other and get together with Feng Delin. Moreover, my father has great ambitions and will not have too many helpers. If he can keep those two in his hands, my father will be able to secure his position in Fengtian Province."
So Zhang Zuolin pressured Feng Delin into dividing the stolen goods.
Zhang Zuolin took half of the money in the name of the provincial treasury; the rest was also given to Wu Junsheng and Ma Longtan. For this kind of good thing that fell from the world, Wu and Ma were grateful, and their admiration for Zhang Zuolin was as continuous as the turbulent river. If you have milk, you are a mother, and you don't care whether sharing things from Feng Delin is in line with the moral principles of the world.
????????????????????? Lao Zhang Zhongyi, for such a big thing as expelling Duan, he didn’t get any benefits from it. He didn’t even get involved in the weapons that the warriors most loved, and it was really shared equally by the other three families! Therefore, in Wu Junsheng's heart, Zhang Zuolin's evaluation of "can achieve great things" emerged spontaneously, which also made him maintain the idea of ??"not favoring Feng Delin" in the subsequent battle between Feng and Zhang. Maybe for Lao Zhang, this is an unexpected surprise.

Chapter 116 Fengtian Reform
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
There was a craze for emperors and generals inside the pass, but Zhang Zuolin outside the pass was ambitious and started a wave of self-improvement. Zhang Hanqing, who was familiar with the situation, actively suggested that Zhang Zuolin seize the opportunity to cling to Fengtian's power and prepare for future radical changes. To achieve this goal, both the military and the government must carry out a series of reforms: the military cannot be relaxed, and the administration must still improve.
Although Zhang Zuolin had not supervised in name before, he still held great power. The chaos within the customs made Fengtian a paradise on earth. No one paid attention to him, the leader of the bandits who lived in a corner, but it also gave him the opportunity to realize his dream of becoming powerful in an independent kingdom.
Once the power is in hand, orders will be carried out. Suffering from the chaos and inability to govern the provincial capital, if Fengtian remains the same under his rule, how can he establish his prestige and not be a leader who "changes the king's flag at the top of the city"? He already felt that he could not achieve hegemony by just relying on the Green Forest brothers to run amok. It is necessary to recruit talents, Internet literati, to provide him with suggestions.
Although Zhang Hanqing has no personal experience in government, he also understands the style and habits of warlords from history. In order to solve the current common problems of Zhang Zuolin's officers, he came up with two emergency countermeasures:
1. Separation of military and political affairs;
2. Separation of military and police.
He explained: "Since the late Qing Dynasty, military interference in government, chaos in government, and even military rule have emerged one after another. For example, the Hunan Army, the Huai Army, and the current president and emperor in Beijing (Yuan Shikai) all entered government with the command of soldiers, that is, The same is true for my father. Why? Wealth (money bag) gives birth to death (gun barrel), killing brings seal (pen barrel), and seal brings birth to the body.
Having soldiers means strength, which means territory is needed, and the one who is superior is a means of stability. That means it needs to win over, and its requirements must be met, which can easily lead to dominance. My father was transferred from General Fengtian to General Supervisor and Inspector-General, with Feng Delin as his subordinate, but he had always been helpless towards him. Why? Because he had military power and territory, his father could not control him at all. Even if his father drives away Feng Delin, it is inevitable that there will not be another Feng Delin-like figure under his command.
After the separation of the military and the government, the local governments had no troops and power, and of course they did not dare to compete with the central government, so the central government ordered the government to go out. Soldiers have no territory and cannot supply their own supplies. However, the baggage and military pay are controlled centrally, and the problem of overcrowding troops can be eliminated. If the general has no worries, he can concentrate on fighting. When he has something to do, he can fight and when he has nothing to do, he can train his troops. Then the army's combat effectiveness can gradually increase.
As for the separation of the military and the police, it is even more imperative: the military style emphasizes that orders must be followed, but it is considered rude to govern the people. What's more, extortion is a way to make money. If things go on like this, if the soldiers have a bandit spirit and can easily cause harm to one party, then the military strength will be weakened; if the people are angry and dissatisfied, it will not contribute to stability. In Beijing, I saw that the Ministry of Internal Affairs exclusively took charge of the police, and the results were good. It also obtained a batch of police equipment from Chief Zhu, and we can start to build our own police department in the provincial capital.
After soldiers no longer have the responsibility of public security, they can also stop their desire to interfere in local civil affairs. If the military, police, and government are organized into separate systems, we can prevent military dictatorship. The improvement of father's prestige and popularity can also be expected soon. "
Zhang Zuolin was overjoyed and said with emotion: "There is no better way to know a father than a son. Little Liuzi knows my heart."
However, Zhang Hanqing also gave him some warning in advance: "Uncle Tang is now also the captain of the provincial secret agent. This separation of the military and police may affect his interests."
Zhang Zuolin smiled and remained silent, but Zhang Hanqing knew that this was his father's disapproving attitude.
Tang Yulin was the commander of the 53rd Brigade of the 27th Division at the time, and together with Sun Liechen, he was Zhang Zuolin's right-hand man. He is also the commander of the secret agent team in the provincial capital. He is actually the head of the intelligence system. He is the second most powerful person in Fengtian after Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Hanqing has scruples about him because his predecessor was not taken seriously by this man.
And reform has always touched other people’s cheese. Looking through the ages, there are few things that have not been accomplished without resorting to thunderbolt means. Zhang Zuolin believed that these were old men who had been with him for a long time and that he could handle them appropriately, so he ignored Zhang Hanqing's reminder.
In terms of military reorganization, Zhang Hanqing suggested improving the status and power of the chief of staff.
The establishment of the Army of the Republic of China followed the example of Germany. Each division had a chief of staff with the professional title of colonel. The divisional staff was divided into first-class (lieutenant colonel), second-class (major), and third-class (captain). Division infantry brigades and below did not have staff establishments, but In actual operations, the positions of first, second, and third staff officers are often assigned to brigade operations. According to the system of one division, two brigades and four regiments, the chief of staff has the same rank as the regiment commander and is completely the division commander's staff. If this position had not been related to the military, he might not even be as good as the deputy chief. After all, the deputy chief was still the chief's confidant.
Both Japan and China learned from Germany. With the rigor of the Germans and the completeness of the staff system, the chief officer can fully integrate the achievements of the staff members to make strategic and tactical decisions; Japan is a country where execution is very good, so the chief of staff is Function only as a staff member?'s identity, chief of staff's identity alone cannot keep him on the stage.
This is also Yang Yuting’s regret. The foundation of the Republic of China was to use force to control civil society. Without military power, great things could not be accomplished.
Now, as a major general, the young Zhang Hanqing suggested that Zhang Zuolin improve his status. Of course, he got what he asked for, and thus for the first time he felt "sympathy" for the major general. In the end, due to the military system, he was unable to advance to the rank of colonel, but his status in the army was also greatly affected. Zhang Hanqing understood this.
At least he had no objections to the "separation of military and police" proposed by Zhang Hanqing. Together with Sun Liechen, who had always followed Zhang Zuolin's lead, he also agreed. Zhang Hanqing's first move in Fengtian's reform was directed at Tang Yulin. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 117 Seizing Food from the Tiger’s Mouth
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
As a police force that protects economic development and stabilizes people's lives and public security, Zhang Hanqing attaches great importance to it. At that time, unlike later generations, the police were divided into many categories. Because they are a new thing, the police have been wearing many hats since the birth of China: public security, civil affairs, anti-smuggling, transportation, firefighting, and armed counter-insurgency. In particular, the duty of armed counterinsurgency allows the police force to have a considerable and legal armed force.
The birth of the Guannai Police can be traced back to the Security Bureau established by Huang Zunxian during the New Deal in Hunan in the late Qing Dynasty, which was the first of its kind in modern China's police. In 1902, when Yuan Shikai was ordered by Cixi to serve as the acting (i.e., acting) Governor-General of Zhili and Minister of Beiyang and to wipe out the Gengzi Incident, because Tianjin was under the occupation of Western powers, the Governor-General of Zhili who was supposed to be based in Tianjin could only Can stay in Baoding and take office.
The first thing Lao Yuan had to do after taking office was to negotiate for the abolition of the foreign "Dutong Yamen" and its return to Tianjin. Because the "Xinchou Treaty" stipulated that the Qing government was not allowed to station Chinese troops within 20 kilometers of the Tianjin Concession. This was a big trick played by foreigners: no troops were allowed to be stationed in Tianjin, and no one was able to maintain public security in the city. Foreign troops stationed in the Concession Then we can legitimately "maintain law and order". In this way, even if Tianjin was returned to the Qing government, it would still be under the control of foreigners.
Yuan Shikai's intelligence was fully demonstrated at this time: he selected 3,000 veterans from six towns in Beiyang who were about to complete their service. Under the intensive training of retired foreign policemen hired from the concessions with high salaries in Shandong, Shanghai and other places, a team of A new military branch was born. These people were originally Beiyang veterans with high military qualities and obedience spirit, and they quickly mastered the skills and knowledge of the police.
Lao Yuan also sent Tang Shaoyi, who was proficient in diplomacy, to negotiate with the great powers, and solemnly proposed that as long as the capital offices of the eight countries were not abolished and foreign troops were not withdrawn from Tianjin, he would not move to Tianjin. Naturally, all "remedial matters" "There is no way to handle it. In order to further absorb the fruits of victory, the great powers finally compromised and formally handed over the Dutong Yamen to the Qing government. However, they stated that if the Chinese government could not guarantee the safety of foreigners, the armies of the great powers would come back again.
Yuan Shikai, who was well prepared, quickly took over Tianjin. When this 3,000-strong Chinese police force marched neatly into Tianjin, the foreigners in Tianjin were stunned. This was really beyond their expectation. There are actually police in China? At first, they thought they were using regular troops to make up the numbers, but after Yuan Shikai politely invited the consuls and military attachés from various countries to inspect the Chinese police on the streets, they became speechless.
Because these first batch of patrol policemen in China used very skillful gestures to direct traffic on the street, or politely questioned suspicious pedestrians on the road, they fully demonstrated their extremely high professionalism and even foreigners had to obey. There was no reason to find fault, and Tianjin City was successfully recovered. In this way, Tianjin became the first place patrolled by "patrol police" in modern China, and also made Tianjin the city with the best security in the country at that time. "For six months, no thieves were seen, and Westerners were also impressed."
The effect was remarkable, so the Empress Dowager Cixi issued an edict, requiring all parts of the country to follow Yuan Shikai's example in establishing a police system. On October 8, 1905, the Qing government set up a patrol department with Shangshu Xu Shichang and Minister Zhao Bingjun. In this sense, Yuan Shikai had vision and merit in the establishment of China's modern police.
However, although the government advocates the establishment of a police system, and although the capital and other places have actively tried to explore it, the construction of police administration has not been on the right track for a long time, and each province has its own approach. Outside the customs, the police system was even worse because Japan and Russia intervened successively, and there were also beards causing chaos. In addition, after Zhang Zuolin started his career, he handed over the police and local security duties to Tang Yulin, a big boss, and it is natural to predict what kind of tricks he can do.
The veteran veterans of the 27th Division often interfered in police affairs and took the opportunity to do things that would benefit the people. In particular, the provincial secret agent team, of which Tang Yulin is also the commander, combines the responsibilities of police and special agents. It is "outstanding" in Fengtian and has a very bad influence. The police is a special department. It is not only a state violence machine, but also a bridge between the government and the people. Tang Yulin is a big boss, how do you expect the people he leads to have a sense of "service"? Considering the Northeastern beard tradition, it’s good that there’s no blatant collusion between police and gangsters.
Zhang Hanqing’s first move in military and police reform was to disband the secret service and take back police power.
The separation of the military and the police has been ignored on many occasions, so it was expected that he would lose the power to manage the police. However, Zhang Hanqing acted too fast and did not have time to explain his funeral. The disbandment of the secret agent team would end Tang Yulin's life. The reason why he claimed to be Zhang Zuolin's boss in Fengtian City and he was second in rank was that, in addition to his position as brigade commander, he relied on the police and the secret agent team in the political world. Now that all power has been lost, how do people think of Lao Tang’s status in Fengtian and Zhang Zuolin’s hearts?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The biggest resistance to reform in the future is vested interests, which was extremely obvious during the reform of the Fengtian military and police. Brigadier Tang Yulin, who had already played an important role in the army, did not accept Zhang Hanqing's theory. He expressed his objection to Zhang Zuolin: "The secret agent team has made great contributions to the big brother. We can't just disband it! And if the police are handed over to others, will the big brother feel relieved?" Besides, what about the food and clothing of my hundreds of brothers? It would be terrible if they cause chaos!"
At the beginning, I had worked very hard for Zhang Zuolin. Lao Zhang was able to secure Fengtian. In addition to his 27th Division, the contribution of the secret agent team cannot be underestimated. He did a great job of inquiring about information, spying on privacy, looking for people and things that were unfavorable to Zhang Zuolin, and supervising the high-ranking military and political officials in Fengtian City. With this power, he was able to control the wind and rain in Fengtian as a brigade commander, and his status was second only to Zhang Zuolin. Now, just because of the whims of a child like Zhang Hanqing, the team he has worked so hard to create must be disbanded - not only are they men and horses, but they are also a symbol of status!
As one of the councilors of Fengtian Governor, Zhang Hanqing was directly involved in various important policies of Zhang Zuolin and was sitting at the time. He hates this kind of face the most, and he threatens her even more! Given time, the tail will really be too big to fall off. At that moment, he smiled and said: "If some people are going to cause trouble after being laid off, then these people have been laid off correctly! And they must be laid off! Otherwise, anyone can challenge the Military Governor's Office, and how will government and military orders be enforced in the future!"
Zhang Zuolin didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face like this. He was not the one to be threatened. He was unhappy and said: "Fourth brother, you have already had a hard time leading troops to fight. If you are in charge of the police, it will be easy for people to gossip." (Tang Yulin: Who the hell would gossip? It’s not you who is trying to kill the donkey.) This military and police reform must be done, and the return of police power to the government is also in line with the trend!
As for the secret agent team, although it is said to be disbanded, it will still be re-branded. You know, the name of the secret agent team is not good. I plan to re-plan it and call it "Fengtian Intelligence Bureau". Fourth brother, what do you think? If people from the Secret Service are needed, they can rejoin. As for the specific person, I'll wait for you and Xiao Liuzi to do the detailed calculations. "
He changed the topic and raised his voice an octave: "As for the chaos, I don't believe it anymore. When I only had a few dozen men and guns, I never frowned when facing 1,800 bandits. Now I have tens of thousands of men and guns. , but they are too timid to do anything! Minister, don’t worry too much, if they really dare to cause chaos, I will personally lead my troops to defeat them!"
Seeing Zhang Zuolin getting angry, Tang Yulin did not dare to say a word, so he could only hang his head and said: "Fourth brother said so, what else can I say? I will disband the secret agent team when I get back and let each of them find their own mother!" Since it is just a name change, why not? Want to take away his management rights? Obviously paving the way for Xiao Liuzi. It seems that the sworn brotherhood is not as useful as the father-son relationship (isn’t this nonsense)!
He suddenly remembered something and asked jealously: "Who do you want, eldest brother, to lead the police? Is it Yu Zhen or the assistant minister?"
Yu Zhen has also been with Zhang Zuolin for a long time. He once served as the inspector general of the Fengtian Provincial Police Department, which made him justifiable; The brother who became the master is now the commander of the artillery regiment of the 27th Division. His rank is not high, but his rank is that of an army major general. It would be reasonable for Zhang Zuolin to take care of him.
However, his territory is being shared by others. If he doesn’t fight for it, others will think that he, Tang Yulin, is easy to bully! After all, he is also a well-known figure in the provincial capital. As long as Zhang Zuolin chooses any of these two people, even if it is replaced by Yang Yuting or Sun Liechen, he will compete for it. It's too bullying. While using the reason of separation of military and police to reduce your own power, you also send others to take over power. Which one of Yu Zhen, Zhang Zuoxiang, Yang Yuting, and Sun Liechen is not a member of the army? Is it just me, Lao Tang, who is easy to bully?
But Zhang Zuolin's answer surprised him: "No, I have hired Wang Minyuan as the Chief of Police and the Director of the Provincial Capital Police - the old men of the 27th Division will not get involved in politics again in the future, and they must serve well as soldiers." "
Now Tang Yulin had nothing to say.
Who is this Wang Minyuan? In the Northeast in the early years of the Republic of China, he was Wang Yongjiang, a well-known person outside China known as the "Two Kings" together with Wang Shuhan in the financial world. He studied the Book of Changes since childhood, came from an old school background, and opposed coeducation. This was his traditional side. But on the other hand, he also had the common advantages of outstanding literati of that era: courage to serve, repaying kindness, being down-to-earth, hard-working, and upright. Being upright and upright is the professional requirement of the police department; having nothing to do with the military circles, it has an inherent advantage in purifying the police force and cutting off the black hands that reach out to civil affairs; repaying kindness is what the Fengtian military and political group headed by Zhang Zuolin started out Requirements that must be met at the beginning. The external situation is changing, and internally there are constraints from strong neighbors. We do not seek power, but must first be loyal. This person came to replace Tang Yulin in charge of the police, and no one had anything to say to him.
But how could Zhang Zuolin use him? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Website address: www.hlnovel.com

Speaking of which, Zhang Zuolin and Wang Yongjiang still had a grudge. The two had a long-standing feud: During the Russo-Japanese War in the 30th year of Guangxu (1904), Wang Yongjiang, who was only 35 years old at the time, served as a police officer in Liaoyang and served as a police officer in Liaoyang Police School. The teacher was once awarded the title of "No. 1 in Police Affairs in the Province" and was highly appreciated by Zhao Erxun, the governor of the three eastern provinces. He wanted him to serve as the Civil Affairs Secretary of Fengtian (i.e., the Civil Affairs Director), but Zhang Zuolin opposed it.
At that time, Zhang felt that he had grown up. At this time, his home "became the political center of the province. There were many guests every day, including civil and military officials. Regardless of matters related to Zhang or not, they all discussed with him or asked for his opinion." , let him hear it in advance." But Wang Yongjiang did not follow this trick and never went to Zhang's house to send gifts or get close to him.
Zhao Erxun instructed him to take the initiative, but Wang Yongjiang forced himself to enter Zhang Mansion empty-handed. Zhang Zuolin heard the butler's report and deliberately did not come out to receive him. Wang Ku sat there for half an hour and left in a puff of his sleeves. He resigned and returned to Jinzhou that night, leaving behind a satirical poem: "Shi Yuan was confused by wine, how slow is Big Ear?" Feng Chu? Only then did Jing Xiang Ning become full of ambition. A common problem among heroes is that they underestimate Confucianism!"
"However, if you win the world immediately, you cannot rule the world immediately." When Zhang Zuolin took charge of the military affairs of Fengtian, he found that the person who could handle the police duties envisioned by Zhang Hanqing was Wang Yongjiang.
At this time, the public security in Fengtian under his rule was not good: the Fengtian army had a complex military base, poor military discipline, most of them came from green forests, and they were lawless. Ordinary civilian officials have no experience in the military, so they simply dare not and cannot control these street soldiers; people in the military can no longer concurrently serve as police officers, and a group of military bosses cannot do anything in civil affairs. Since Tang Yulin heard about the separation of the military and police, he has deliberately allowed the public security to deteriorate, using this as a source of threat.
Zhang Zuolin was very angry and began to recruit talents. He said to his subordinates: "Who among us has the ability to govern the country and ensure its security, I will use it with a high salary!"
Yuan Jinkai, an important staff member of his staff and Chairman of the Senate of the Governor's Office, mentioned Wang Yongjiang at the right time: "Yongjiang is a genius in the world, and there is no one who is better than him among the generals under the general's command. Please let the general clear up his small suspicions so that he can achieve great things." Seeing that Zhang Zuolin seemed to be afraid, he Yuan Jinkai said: "Minyuan stood out when he was young. He was hailed as the 'Erlu Shuangding' by the people of Jinzhou, and praised by the government and the public as 'the first person to run the police in Feng Province'. This person can be entrusted with important responsibilities!"
Wang Yongjiang has experience in managing the police and is well-known. This is very important - in Fengtian, which needs a large number of talents, if such a person is left unused, no matter what he says, people will criticize Lao Zhang's sincerity. He wanted to resolve this grudge, but it was nothing, but he couldn't open his mouth. After all, it was because he didn't know the best. So Zhang Zuolin said regretfully: "Back then, I was so successful that I forgot about everything. I wonder if Minyuan will look down on me, a big boss, because of this!"
As the eldest son, Zhang Hanqing took the initiative to share his father's worries, and he volunteered to negotiate.
He is very clear about Wang Yongjiang’s name: among the Fengtian talents in history, he is one of the few people with extraordinary performance in politics and economy, and can be called the "most powerful brain" in the Northeast. As the founder of the modern national industry in the Northeast, he is even known as the "God of Wealth" in the Northeast. If you want to make a difference, it would be a pity not to recruit such talents. Liu Bei could still visit the thatched cottage three times in order to seek talents. Why not just dig out talents and give him enough courtesy?
Although we know that Wang Yongjiang eventually followed Zhang Zuolin in history, the meaning of poaching him personally is different. Brother is not following history, but changing history! The Feng faction was still in its infancy, and he had to lay out his own power in advance. To show his sincerity, Zhang Hanqing personally drove to Jinzhou and came to see him with heavy gifts.
At this time, Wang Yongjiang felt that his talent was not being appreciated. Since I passed away that time, I have been entertaining myself with reading in the past few years. However, the big shots will complain if they are not punished. The literati pay attention to learning and the best will be officials. However, as Zhang Zuolin's position in Fengtian became more and more secure, outside the customs, he thought that it would be harder to get ahead than to reach the sky. However, he reported his idea of ????immigration to the country. But it is getting stronger and stronger.
On a sunny day, Zhang Hanqing clicked the door latch, and then the two figures destined to make history met for the first time.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"I am Zhang Xueliang, the son of Zhang Zuolin, the governor of Fengtian. My father specially asked me to come to invite my husband to serve as an official." Zhang Hanqing looked humble, fully interpreting the essence of Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage.
"I'm just a scholar, I don't have the power to tie a chicken, what use does Governor Zhang want from me?"
"Sir, everyone in the world knows that he is a great talent. Saving the country from danger, helping the people from fire and water, and expressing his ambition are my ambition and the ambition of a scholar. I hope you can help me."
"There are rows of swords and swords in front of General Zhang's door. I, a little official, arrived at the door, but I was frightened!"
"You can't mention the past, but you can still chase after those who come. One day, you will be successful and famous. You will laugh drunkenly and accompany the father thirty thousand times."
This is the later legendary dialogue between Zhang Hanqing Lixian and Wang Yongjiang, which is quite dramatic. In fact, no one except the person involved knows what the two said. However, it is a historical fact that the Marshal and Wang Yongjiang became lifelong friends and comrades-in-arms.
Only Zhang Hanqing knew that as the governor's son, he had expressed Lao Zhang's greatest sincerity by extending a warm invitation. As an aspiring politician, how could Wang Yongjiang not give in? As for the original sordidness, it was just an episode in the personnel struggle. Wang Yongjiang would not be stupid enough to bring up old grudges against someone who had already reached a high position such as Zhang Zuolin. Of course, as the young marshal said, "Don't mention the past, and the future." Those who can still be pursued."
Wang Yongjiang happily obeyed his order, and Zhang Zuolin also treated Wang Yongjiang's arrival with great courtesy and made a lot of preparations. What’s the best thing about being a scholar? face! For Zhang Zuolin, what he is best at is giving face. Since ancient times, rituals for virtuous and corporal officials have been recited, and there are many such allusions in storytelling. In order to attract talents, it would not be embarrassing even if the scene was broken, and Zhang Hanqing still had face here. So when he learned that Zhang Hanqing had successfully persuaded Wang Yongjiang to work for the Governor's Mansion and would arrive at Fengtian tomorrow, he happily said: "Tomorrow Wang Xiucai will leave the mansion, and I will personally go out to welcome him!"
“That’s what he said, and he did it. In order to express the importance to the king that day, he specifically ordered the adjutant: "There are distinguished guests today, and I won't see anyone who comes."
When facing Wang Yongjiang, Zhang Zuolin only said one sentence: "Why is it so late for me to come?"
Wang Yongjiang was very moved and only replied: "It's not too late."
The guests and hosts laughed, Zhang Zuolin solemnly invited Wang Yongjiang into the Marshal's Mansion. He was neatly dressed and greeted with a smile, which made Wang Yongjiang feel the host's enthusiasm. That day, senior military and political officials gathered in Fengtian. Under the leadership of Zhang and his son, everyone smiled at Wang Yongjiang. As intellectuals trained in the old times, no amount of temptation can compare with the kindness of knowing and meeting a scholar who dies for a confidant. Wang Yongjiang followed Zhang and his son throughout his life, which is definitely related to this.
This kind of kindness later formed a mantra in Shenyang: "Wang Yongjiang entered the commander's house——he is superior to others." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Don't use the people who are suspicious, and do not doubt the people you employ. Since it was decided to let Wang Yongjiang manage the police, Zhang Zuolin also valued Wang Yongjiang just like Zhao Erxun, giving him police power and letting him rectify the province's police force. Because of his great responsibility, he also has great power. Wang Yongjiang's title is the provincial police chief and the provincial capital police chief. (Don’t be surprised, the director is smaller than the director at this time)
Although the term "police" was only introduced to China from Japan during the reign of Xinchou, the term "police" entered China's political arena very quickly. However, most Chinese people in this era do not have a very clear concept of what a "police" is. Fengtian, a place of "barbarism" outside the customs, is no exception. The subjects of the empire and common people under feudal rule were more familiar with the "catchers" who carried waist knives and iron chains, showed off their power in front of the people, weakened their limbs in front of foreigners, and went around arresting people all day long.
Of course, there were policemen in Fengtian after the founding of the Republic of China. Zhang Hanqing called them old-style policemen in his mind. At that time, these ruffians in black uniforms were called "black dogs" by the common people. It was enough that they could not disturb the people, but you still want them to make a difference? Zhang Hanqing's ideal is to regard police reform as his starting point in Fengtian politics and the beginning of the practice of his political ideas.
Therefore, he tried his best to persuade Zhang Zuolin to say goodbye to the past by appointing new people, adopting new clothes, and implementing new management methods.
The purpose of the police is to serve the people. If the old police officers do not change their heads, they will be replaced, and the new ones will be recruited through the unified examination method; new uniforms will be used to distinguish them from the past, so that the new police officers can feel a new atmosphere; the police officers will be used as regulations Only when the form is solidified can management be justified. He wanted to use this method to quickly clear Tang Yulin's influence among the police.
Zhang Hanqing’s proposal was in line with Wang Yongjiang’s thoughts. As a scholar, he was certainly not a match for those old policemen, so he had to start anew. Zhang Hanqing's method was to give him absolute power, leaving him with almost no restrictions.
Since Zhang Hanqing came out of Beijing, he has served as a counselor in name only in the General's Office. Although Zhang Zuolin basically obeyed some of his ideas, he, who was familiar with historical anecdotes, always believed that in troubled times, one should have power, and the prestige from Naiba was far less safe than the subordinates brought out by his own hands. The 27th Division was at a tense moment with the 28th Division, and there were so many veterans of the Feng army that it was really difficult to make a name for himself, so he had to find another shortcut.
Because of his almost unconditional support for Wang Yongjiang’s police reform, Zhang Hanqing immediately won Wang Yongjiang’s respect, which strengthened Zhang Hanqing’s goodwill due to his “visiting for talents”. Perhaps this good impression does not mean loyalty, but because Zhang Hanqing withstood the pressure and repeatedly sided with the police in subsequent conflicts between officers and soldiers in Fengtian, Wang Yongjiang inadvertently imprinted Zhang Hanqing's personal brand.
Wang Yongjiang deeply felt the respect and trust that Zhang and his son had for him. After he took office, he reformed the police administration, implemented the separation of the military and police, and strictly prohibited the military from interfering in the police administration. Zhang Zuolin would always rely on him for requests. With his skill, the situation caused by the purge of the police force was quickly stabilized.
Zhang Hanqing did not interfere with his various policies, but he spent great efforts to design a new police uniform. In this regard, Wang Yongjiang only regarded it as a curiosity, and it was something non-principled, so he took a wait-and-see attitude. Unexpectedly, the new uniforms designed by the young marshal himself suddenly aroused his emotions.
This is a uniform with a light blue standard shirt and a dark blue tie. This kind of police uniform with a tie immediately raised the perception of the Fengtian New Police to an unprecedented level among Chinese people and even the world. This kind of splendid clothing, wearing a tie that is only worn by European and American gentlemen, immediately brings people's essence, energy and spirit to an unprecedented state. Some foreigners even praised him as an "armed gentleman" in newspapers. This costume has since influenced the world's uniform trends. Zhang Hanqing even claimed that there are three types of standard shirts, namely light blue long-sleeved standard shirts, light blue short-sleeved standard shirts and light blue inner shirts
There is no need to wonder why the young marshal can lead the trend in the clothing industry, because this is the standard clothing that has been refined and evolved by later generations. Zhang Hanqing has been watching it for many years, and it is deeply ingrained Zhang Zuolin thought this was due to his broadened horizons in Beijing. As for why the Northeast could be unique in producing such "novel" clothing, it was because Yuan Shikai simply couldn't care about such trivial matters at this time.
Good clothing requires personnel worthy of the clothing. Zhang Hanqing also decided to make the police profession a role model for the country's civil servants from the beginning. Therefore, great importance is attached to the selection of police officers: they must have at least primary school education or above, no tattoos, no bad habits, clean financial status, and strong political skills: “They must have a gentle and simple temperament, be well-behaved, work strictly, and protect the people. Thank you."
In one word, ZhangHan Qing wants to turn these new police officers into city business cards and become ambassadors for the future differentiation of the Feng Clan from other warlords. The original police officers are used differently after selection: those who are qualified are retained, those who can be reformed are retrained for probation, and those who are incompetent are removed from the team.
After a month of intense work, a 3,000-strong police force was formed. In front of them, Zhang Zuolin personally issued the letter of appointment to Wang Yongjiang. After a simple training, Wang Yongjiang led this team into Fengtian City.
The ancient city of Fengtian suddenly received a unique sight: 3,000 young soldiers wearing new uniforms. In addition to taking on military security tasks, they are also responsible for patrolling, firefighting, household registration, camp maintenance, sanitation and other public affairs across the province. Thanks to the dedicated police to maintain social order, the social security in Fengtian City has swept away the chaos of the past. According to newspaper records at the time, there were no thieves in June.
This police force has a complete set of institutions such as a detention center, a police station, and a military band. It is "set up to serve and manage the masses, prevent trouble before it occurs, and resolve disputes." Wang Yongjiang is indeed very capable. In a country without a modern police system, he built a police system, rules, and training from scratch, and made the police construction in an orderly manner.
Not only was he capable, he also brought out many experts in urban governance, such as Song Wenyu and Huang Xiansheng, who later became outstanding representatives. The police department later spawned more responsible units: urban management, urban construction, sanitation, environment, security
Driven by power and public opinion, the modern police system established by Wang Yongjiang has been gradually promoted in various places in Fengtian Province and has shown amazing vitality. A British reporter in China once reported that on the street in the provincial capital of Fengtian, the police actually helped a fellow man pushing a manure truck lift the overturned truck. He exclaimed: “In the past, could you have imagined something like this?”
The success of the military and police reform made Zhang Zuolin more and more convinced of Zhang Hanqing's reform ideas, and he firmly supported Wang Yongjiang in the subsequent reorganization of the secret agent team and the counterattack against the old police force.

After more than half a year in this world, Zhang Hanqing is still not satisfied that he finally has some say among the important senior officials in Fengtian. He encouraged his father to establish an intelligence system of his own. The role of the famous "KGB", "CIA", "Military Command" and "Central Command" in later generations, as well as the various legends of 007, have been deeply imprinted on Zhang Hanqing's mind, influencing his decision-making all the time.
"Qualifications are very important in the army these days. Although he is the son of Marshal Zhang, he does not have the confidence to join the 27th Division. With a sense of urgency, he was eager to hold a certain amount of power. Qualifications are required to engage in administrative and military affairs, and the positions that have been promoted to people since ancient times are not secure. To build your own world, you need to find another shortcut.
Taking advantage of the good opportunity of the separation of military and political affairs and the separation of military and police, he wanted to establish his own direct force. On the eve of the decision to disband the secret agent team, he said to Zhang Zuolin: "Fengtian is an important place outside the customs, and people from all walks of life are reaching out here. My father only has one army division, and the police force has only just been established. Such strength is not enough for self-protection." , let alone making a difference in Fengtian. Emperors of all dynasties have controlled an underground force and done some things that are not on the table. For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Jinyi Zhizhi, Cao Cao and Sun Quan during the Three Kingdoms had their own secret service agencies, Tang Dynasty There were the Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty, the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty, and the Dongchang and Blood Drops of the Qing Dynasty. Even President Yuan Yuan set up a 'Capital Law Enforcement Office', but the ability was a bit poor, otherwise it wouldn't be possible With General Cai E's escape, the president would not have fallen into such a miserable state. Although the secret agent team has been disbanded, I still want to establish such an organization, and of course it must be controlled by myself."
Zhang Zuolin deeply believed that Xu was a rough man, but that didn't mean he didn't have such thoughts. Otherwise, he would not follow the example of the "Capital Law Enforcement Office" and set up a "secret agent team" in Fengtian. Although he was dissatisfied with Tang Yulin's growing influence and political ambition, and disbanded the secret agent team under Zhang Hanqing's instigation, it did not mean that he denied the role of this team.
Some time ago, I heard Sun Liechen talk about Feng Delin's failed attempt to win over some mid-level officers in the 27th Division. Because the person involved refused, he didn't take it seriously, so naturally he didn't report it. However, if his plot is successful and he switches sides on the battlefield, the damage will be considerable. If I have such a power to continue to exist, I'm afraid those who are careful will have to think twice, right?
The premise is that you are absolutely loyal to yourself, have a sound organization, and can take on big responsibilities.
So he nodded and said: "It's really rare for you to have this kind of thinking. Knowing people and their faces but not their hearts, it's necessary to be on guard. However," he said with some embarrassment: "This position is so important, who can trust it to me?" The second brother Tang has just quit his part-time job. If Zanyao takes up the concurrent job, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the second brother? Counselor Yang definitely can't do it, he has too many things to do; the assistant minister can do it, and so can Yu Zhen. "
The assistant minister was Zhang Zuoxiang, who was the commander of the 27th Division Artillery Regiment at the time and an absolute confidant; Yu Zhen was Zhang Zuolin's guard captain. Their new team of agents are both reliable and speechless. But is this what Zhang Hanqing meant?
"Uh——", Zhang Hanqing was sweating like rain, I dare say this cheap dad doesn't understand my feelings at all! Isn't this person standing in front of you alive? Do you think I don’t have any selfish motives when I jump up and down, except that I want to control the situation in Fengtian for you as soon as possible? Intelligence work must be carried out by absolute confidants. There is a saying that "brothers fight tigers, father and son go into battle." Now I am only a single person in Fengtian. Is it so difficult to grab some power? Let’s talk about the foundation of the modern intelligence system, who else could it be?
Zhang Hanqing just wants to do something himself——he just gives advice all day long and has no personal power of his own. The military can't intervene at the moment, so let's put some effort into the secret service.
"The formation of the intelligence team is not something that happens overnight. Some of the secret things cannot be disclosed to outsiders. This power cannot be taken away by others. It is not that the old people around my father are incompetent, but they are all in charge of some things, and then hand over this It's not appropriate to give it to them, otherwise Uncle Tang will be the first to jump up. What I mean is that this organization can be left to me to set up and organize first - then they will have nothing to say, and besides, it will just be an empty shelf at the beginning. , there’s nothing difficult about it.” Zhang Hanqing looked shy and took the initiative to ask for power for himself.
"Hahaha", Zhang Zuolin laughed loudly, he admired his eldest son's somewhat ruthless frankness. In his rugged bandit brain, he is not afraid that you will ask for power, but that you will have no ideas. Although Zhang Hanqing is young, his performance over this period of time can be described as bizarre. Establishing an underground force comparable to that of the Capital Law Enforcement Department is a completely new undertaking and requires an innovative brain. Putting aside Zhang Hanqing's age factor, he is indeed a very good candidate.
"The new secret agent team is handed over to you?" Zhang Zuolin is still not used to it.??, directly under Zhang Hanqing's dispatch. Soon after, he selected some middle- and lower-level officers from the old martial arts lecture halls he was familiar with in the Northeast to expand and establish a battalion-sized special operations brigade, giving him a special force.
This is the germ of Zhang Hanqing’s forward-looking military thinking based on the role of modern special forces. Now, the acting battalion commander is Tan Hai. Tan Hai's rank is not high enough, but there is no one more suitable than him. Well, let's use him first.
Zhang Zuolin holds a baton in his left hand, legally suppressing the opponents he wants to suppress; holding a black gun in his right hand, illegally deters enemies or friends who have objections or potential objections. The police and spies helped Zhang Hanqing integrate into the top ranks of the Fengcian clique as quickly as possible. On the surface, the police, together with the army, have officially become Lao Zhang's right-hand man; but Zhang Hanqing believes that the "Fengqi Bureau" is the hand that can rival the police.
No matter what, there are some things that historically would not have happened two years later or not at all, but Zhang Hanqing did it ahead of schedule. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 121 Learning from good people
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Since Zhang Zuolin "cheated" the Central Military Commission into expanding its arms by 10 battalions, Zhang Zuolin now has three more regiments of troops in addition to the 27th Division. Because there is no designation, it is temporarily designated as his Guards Brigade. He has more and better equipment and manpower than Feng Delin, and he also occupies the title of "boss". He will never suffer a loss in a real fight. The reason why he has tolerated until now is mainly because he is afraid of killing ten thousand enemies and losing seven thousand to himself, so that the warlords of Kyrgyzstan and Heilongjiang provinces will take advantage of him. He understands this truth.
Zhang Hanqing only said quietly: "Father, don't worry, Feng Delin betrayed the Central Committee, also known as his father's subordinates. With his way of doing things, not only people in Fengtian thought that his father was reasonable and cultivated, but also Feng Delin Even his subordinates can't stand it. He is no match for his father in terms of emotion and reason. As long as he is still under his father's command, there will be many opportunities to get rid of him in the future. The top priority now is to manage the military and civil affairs of Fengtian. As long as Fengtian is firmly controlled, we can still I’m afraid that his 28th Division will fly away!”
??In history, these strategies were all thought up by Zhang Zuolin himself, without any credit from the "Young Marshal". But crossing the river by feeling the stones is definitely different from crossing the river by holding on to the stones!
He smiled slightly and gave Zhang Zuolin a mysterious feeling: "Fortunately, the personnel arrangements of the provincial and municipal governments have been put in place at this stage, and there is no need to change them in the short term. As for the military expenses of the Guard Brigade, I only need to give me a period of buffering." , I have my own way. Without Fengtian's finances, Feng naturally has nothing to say, and there is no reason why his money to expand the strength of the seven battalions should come from Fengtian's finances."
Since Zhang Xueliang's continuous use of tricks, he has gained both strength (promotion and military expansion) and popularity (even Duan Zhigui still misses the good character of the person who drove him to this day), which has made his attitude towards his young eldest son worse and worse. It is more like the relationship between a coach and a military advisor, rather than just the relationship between a father and a son. He looked at Zhang Hanqing in surprise and asked in disbelief: "Is there any way you can find a way to make money to support a brigade?"
??You must know that after racking your brains and struggling for more than ten years, it is still difficult to manage the strength of one division, including funds allocated by the central government. This little guy actually boasted that he could support a Guard Brigade with no less than two-thirds of his own strength. Is he bragging? If it were so simple, I would have lived my entire life on a dog!
But looking at the eldest son’s determined eyes, Zhang Zuolin couldn’t help but believe it. This little Liuzi has a lot of clever ideas. Look at him at such a young age, but he is like a fish in water in Beijing. It was all because of his deception that Zhou Xuexi and Liang Shiyi took the lead in investing in Fengtian and attracted a lot of money. I also relied on his guidance to be able to I deceived a large number of coveted arms from Lao Yuan, and he was the shrewdest king in the world! The most outrageous thing is that with just one click, he slipped away from Lao Yuan's hands unharmed. If he just managed to escape by mistake, but think about his original arrangements, he had anticipated this day months ago.
Khan, only Zhang Hanqing knows that he has taken advantage of the prophetic history!
Zhang Hanqing also woke up from the time travel and correctly realized that China now is not the time to imitate the so-called republic. Feng Delin can be so unscrupulous in not giving face to his superiors because he relies on someone with a gun. China, which is fragmented, needs centralization of power and a big warlord who can unify the country. Like the replacement of dynasties in previous dynasties, what China needs is a strong government, a voice, and an army that only serves the central government. His current efforts should be to make his cheap father's power stronger, so as to achieve this goal. And at 16 years old, he also needs to make his voice heard at the right time. After all, he wasn't here for a vacation. In the long river of history, if you don't grasp the direction of the ship's bow correctly, you will be submerged by the big waves.
When Zhang Hanqing was alive, he was well versed in political trends and historical developments, but his understanding of military knowledge was limited to reading magazines such as "Ship Knowledge" and "Weapons Knowledge", or he was able to follow the general trend of the world with a group of angry youths on Sina.com. , In addition, because of admiration for the great man Mao, he has a very unique appreciation for his military thoughts. Times have changed, and advanced military literacy may not necessarily be suitable for the army of a backward era. Occasionally having novel ideas may give people a feeling of enlightenment, but if you just talk about it without caring about the current situation, you run the risk of falling into the trap of talking on paper.
“Besides, he himself only received two months of military training in high school and college. Military knowledge can only be “propaganda” from a high position. If he personally teaches the so-called “military thought of the new era”, it would be a bit too high of himself. In a word, it can only be pragmatic, not practical. There is still some self-knowledge.
But he knew that leading troops was not as simple as in the movies where the commander waved his pistol and shouted "Come on me, brothers", charging the entire division and regiment to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. Logistics, supplies, training, communications, equipment, and ideas must be paid attention to, and all arms such as infantry, artillery, horses, workers, and supplies must be used together.In the game of chess, layman leadership and expert leadership are the source of defeat. There have been many incidents in history where victory or defeat was reversed due to a slight difference in thought. When fighting the Japanese in the future, although strategically we can despise the enemy, tactically we must pay more attention to the enemy. If you don't know a little bit of knowledge, you will be in trouble when the time comes.
If you have nothing to do, you can first go to Fengtian Martial Arts Hall to learn from experience, and then take a look at the situation of the modern army. Moreover, proper military training can build a good body, and you will not be frightened when you encounter Duan Hongye's men (of course, there is probably no chance in this life). At least you will have strength when picking up girls, right?
When Zhang Hanqing proposed to Zhang Zuolin that he wanted to try to manage the army, as an old commander who had climbed out of the dead, he was of course willing. This family property will belong to his son in the future, and it is certainly a good thing that his son is willing to take over.
But when Zhang Hanqing proposed to go to the martial arts lecture hall to learn to lead troops, Zhang Zuolin was surprised. His son knew clearly: Although Zhang Hanqing suffered a little hardship when he was a child, as his position rose, his living conditions also improved, and his behavior also improved. There are already many dandy styles in behavior. Although he has shown many amazing talents in recent times, the nature of a young man at heart means that his words may not be trustworthy, and maybe he is just a hothead.
Knowing his son's impulsive personality, Zhang Zuolin pretended to be surprised and said: "What? You want to go to the martial arts hall? Don't embarrass me. You can't do it for a few days, and then come out again. That's not embarrassment to me." ?"
Zhang Hanqing was so excited by his father that he couldn't help but say, "They can do it, why can't I do it?"
Zhang Zuolin said: "Okay, if you can graduate from the martial arts hall, I will make you the leader of the regiment when you come out."
Zhang Hanqing was happy, hey, you don’t need to provoke me, I just want to learn something, otherwise how can I get along in this troubled world? After working hard for a year and a half, I not only gained experience in the army, but also became a regiment leader for nothing. In future generations, this regiment leader must be a colonel no matter what. According to the county and regiment level, when I go to the local level, I will be a division-level cadre.
“And he knows very well that the old-style army cannot support the task of transforming the country. He wants to choose people and make good use of them to create his own future. The premise for this is to find some like-minded officers.
Rather than inviting generals and provoking generals, it is better to resort to tricks. In this way, Zhang Hanqing entered the artillery department of Fengtian Jiangwutang and became the first batch of students of the artillery of Jiangwutang.
Artillery is known as the "King of the Army", and the Chinese army's love for firepower projection has never deviated. Zhang Hanqing knew that the Chinese army, which lacked heavy artillery and other weapons in history, suffered terribly when facing the Japanese army. The Japanese army used its second-rate or even third-rate army, and sometimes only one division or brigade to rampage across the land of China. Isn't it a battle? Does it have strong firepower? During the Anti-Japanese War, the national army of several armies was often unable to withstand the Japanese army or even a large group.
"But Fengjun once had the conditions to compete with the Japanese army. The only arsenal in China with autonomous mortars is in Fengtian. The army with a relatively complete divisional artillery regiment is Fengjun. It is also very early in the year that it built its own 122mm mortar. All this means that Fengjun actually has a pretty good foundation. I believe that with him here, this foundation will be firmly laid.
So, you must be familiar with the performance of artillery and the training of artillery, so that you can become a qualified commander in modern warfare. With this idea in mind, Zhang Hanqing decided to study gunnery systematically.
At that time, although joining the army was not a very noble profession, officers were an exception. However, this well-known young marshal was directly appointed as the senior counselor of the Fengtian General Administration, with the rank of major and assistant in charge of military affairs. It’s a joke, a great young marshal can’t start from a soldier.
So among the students studying in the Fengtian Martial Arts Hall, a very young and handsome face entered the new class. You know, Zhang Hanqing was just 16 years old at this time. If the living conditions were not much better than those of ordinary student sergeants, this face would be a bit too young and abrupt.
When they learned that the young man who ate, slept and ate with them turned out to be a young marshal in the Marshal's Mansion, some old Fengjun officers felt a little disdainful: "He's here to get gold plating, so that he can get a good job promotion." Reason." However, there are also many people who are eager in their eyes - after all, he is a young marshal with unique conditions. He who is close to water and towers can get the moon first. If we can get close, as long as we talk to the commander from time to time, he will be promoted to an official position just around the corner.
On the other hand, the student soldiers of the same period have less worries. Young people have less fear of authority and can freely talk about various ideas. Of course, they were also surprised by the young marshal's hard work and intelligence. Of course, the young marshal also showed his usual respect for his colleagues, which gave him high prestige, especially among students of the same year.
Zhang Hanqing's study and training are indeed very hard. Without him, the enemy on the battlefield will not let you go because you are the son of a commander, and the officers and soldiers under his command will not be like some bastards in some time-travel novels because of your identity as a commander. As soon as the Qi appears, others will fall to the ground. The military has always been the most down-to-earth and admires the strong the most. Without certain influence, it will definitely fall behind at critical moments.

The political turmoil of the Republic of China inevitably affected economic development. This was also one of the important reasons why people were in dire straits during the warlord era. Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing, Liang Shiyi, Xiong Xiling, and Zhou Xuexi are all typical examples of advocating "collusion between government and businessmen" and are not afraid of changes in political power. After preliminary publicity and agitation, Zhou Xuexi also sent people to Fengtian for on-site inspection, and concluded that both the Fushun Coal Mine and the Benxi Iron Mine were rich in reserves; in terms of mining difficulty or input cost, they were both good choices for investment, so he decided Join the gang.
According to Zhang Hanqing’s idea, the current stage is the time to concentrate on expanding production to compete with related Japanese companies in Northeast China, so the stall cannot be too big and the strength must be concentrated. How to ensure that the investment of big bosses in Beijing can get a return to attract more spectators, and how to effectively integrate and share resources from Fengtian and the future Northeast, Zhang Hanqing needs a full-time candidate to lead a team to do this.
Yes, team. Zhang Hanqing used to be a cadre in the middle management level of an enterprise and knows the importance of a one-person team. A good management system brings benefits to enterprises, stability to the government, and security to the military. He has always been ashamed of the performance of the Northeastern Army on the night of September 18th: the commander went to pick up girls in Beijing (actually he quit smoking), the deputy commander went to attend a funeral, and the chief of staff was at a loss when facing the provocation of the Japanese army (in the early stage), so a trial turned into A comprehensive defeat, tragedy is all around us.
Zhang Hanqing can come up with ideas, but he doesn’t have the energy to do such a slow and labor-intensive job, but he doesn’t feel comfortable letting go of others—this is the future of the relationship and the basis for his own political career. In the Republic of China era, who was both capable and trustworthy?
Mo Dehui can be counted as one. This close friend of mine was one of the few frequent guests until Zhang Xueliang's previous life in Taiwan. Moreover, Lao Mo has been successful in many professions throughout his life, including police chief, county magistrate, director of the Provincial Government Property Office (State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission), official bank supervisor (bank supervisor), deputy director and acting minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, Northeastern Foreign Affairs , security, joint member of government affairs, chairman and supervisor of the railway companies of the three eastern provinces, chairman of the Chinese National Political Participation Association, and served as the "President of the Chinese Examination Yuan" in Taiwan for 12 years. Shuangxin is an all-round talent.
Such a talented person has extraordinary insight and should be the best candidate to head the Fengtian "Investment Promotion Bureau" he established. At this time, Mo Dehui had just been promoted from the position of governor of Shuangshan County and concurrently in charge of justice to director of Jilin's official property department and concurrently as supervisor of official bank accounts for one year. This year, Jilin Province's treasury revenue increased, and business became increasingly prosperous. Will such talents be used for oneself? Zhang Hanqing didn't dare to guarantee it. Jilin Governor Meng Enyuan has always been at odds with his father Zhang Zuolin. Will he let himself poach him?
Being able to rectify the coal and iron resources that are the pillars of the industry and the most cost-effective investment promotion work are important foundations for whether the Fengtian faction can leap forward. As soon as Zhang Hanqing and Zhang Zuolin discussed it, Zhang Zuolin slapped his thigh and said, "It's them!" "
At this time, the economic situation in Fengtian was very bad: the three eastern provinces were in financial disarray and banknotes were complex. Especially affected by the European War, Fengtian's small foreign currency notes became a run. Zhang Zuolin ordered the printing and distribution of banknotes while confiscating private notes, but with little success, and the run on foreign currency notes in Fengtian became increasingly serious. The economy and the military are closely related. Without money, where will military spending come from? So in this matter, I heard that with these people and things, there would be a solution, and Zhang Zuolin supported Zhang Hanqing unconditionally.
He believes that everything depends on man-made efforts.
On a dark and windy night, Zhang Hanqing visited Mo Dehui empty-handed.
For such a young man to encourage him to change jobs, Mo Dehui's first reaction was surprise, and his second reaction was still surprise. He didn't know what he should say or do to express his feelings.
He is equivalent to the president of a branch of the People's Bank of China, and his level is even much higher than that. Zhang Hanqing is just a young man, and the hair on his lips has not even faded. If he wants to poach himself, what kind of official position can he give himself? It is undeniable that Zhang Zuolin's shadow is behind Zhang Hanqing. Otherwise, would this kid have the guts to talk to him about such an important personnel matter?
But Zhang Hanqing bluntly stated that it was his own intention, and expressed his determination to recruit talents:
"Mr. Mo, to be honest, it was my intention to invite you to Fengtian. My father still can't believe that I can invite him, but he is definitely happy to see it happen. Now Fengtian is pursuing the separation of military and political affairs, and soldiers will be Apart from administration, the management of people's livelihood and the development of the economy are the time to employ people. Both my father and I are well aware of my husband's abilities, and we also hope that you can come forward to help my father."
Mo Dehui also knew Zhang Zuolin's courage and thought he was an outstanding person, but he was a little hesitant. After all, a ready-made director of the official property department and official bank supervisor was more comfortable than an unknown position—— I don’t know Zhang Zuo?What kind of position will be given to him? The Fengtian Official Bank Office is much larger than the one in Jilin. If this position is considered a promotion, you might as well consider it.
"But Zhang Hanqing gave a new position: Director of Fengtian Investment Promotion Bureau, which can't help but make people think.
Zhang Hanqing observed the words and realized that this new term frightened him, so he had to explain: "Sir, I must have concerns about this position. To be honest, I came up with it."
We are rich in coal and iron in Fengtian and even the Northeast, and there are countless arable lands in the country and the world. We also have a large population, but why are we always poor? Of course there are factors left over from history: the rampant influence of Japan and Russia, the influence of the Qing Dynasty’s policy of obscuring the people, and the country’s weak support for the Northeast. However, this is the reality. No matter how much we complain, it cannot change this fact.
My father and I both believe that the only person who can change the current situation is ourselves. Put down your dignity and invite all walks of life to take action. Those with money will provide money, and those with skills will provide technology. We initially plan to set up several large-scale coal and iron mines and various enterprises in Fengtian, fully tap private capital, and make Fengtian a unified force. When various industries are scaled up and sound, it will be difficult for the Northeast to win over people. . The key is to find someone who understands both administration and finance, and who also has strong connections. Mr. Mo is the perfect candidate.
This investment promotion bureau is directly affiliated with the Fengtian Xun Envoy. Any construction of factories or mines in Fengtian must be handled and arranged by Mr. The direct purpose of my father's reform in Fengtian was to coordinate the administrative and economic affairs that were originally involved by the army and police, so as to reduce the constraints after my husband took office. I know that your husband has great ambitions, and the investment director in front of you is a great opportunity to realize your ambitions. Even if you want the people of Li to live a good life, you should take action. "
Following the example of Liu Bei’s three visits to the thatched cottage, Zhang Hanqing persuaded Mo Dehui many times and explained and discussed with him the future fiscal policies, industrial development prospects of Fengtian and even the Northeast, and the economic measures he was implementing. Feasible plans and bright prospects made Mo Dehui feel that Fengtian's economic boom was just around the corner and good days for the people of Fengtian were coming. As the young marshal's most "favored" (in Zhang Hanqing's words of course) future political elite, he has the feeling that a scholar will die for his confidant.
"Mo Dehui is a gentle person, how can he be worthy of Zhang Hanqing's eagerness for talent?" Fengtian's population and economic scale are more than twice that of Jilin. Being favored by Zhang Zuolin is certainly better than holding a position in Jilin. The key is that he also believes that Zhang Zuolin is not a creature in the pool. Instead of getting closer to him in the future, he can still be regarded as a hero by going down the slope now.
However, if Meng Enyuan knew that he was changing jobs, it would inevitably cause trouble, so Mo Dehui remained calm, resigned due to illness, refused Meng Enyuan's repeated promises to retain and retain his position, and returned home to recuperate from his "illness". Of course, he is also a person with good professional ethics. Before this, all matters in office were handled in an orderly manner.
Less than two weeks after returning home, "it happened" that the newly established "Investment Bureau" in Fengtian was recruiting talents from the Northeast. Mo Dehui participated in the audition with the mentality of "giving it a try" and actually won! His illness was cured as well. Only then did Meng Enyuan realize that his financial arm had been poached by Zhang Zuolin.
Zhang Zuolin has no doubts about employing people. When Mo Dehui became the director of investment promotion, he had unprecedented power: this new official position had full control over the use of commercial capital within and outside the province, industrial planning, follow-up of supporting facilities such as transportation and electricity, and some financial powers. In a word, Mo Dehui can be called the deputy governor in charge of business, economy and finance.
He is indeed capable. Not only did he strictly supervise the capital introduced by Zhang Hanqing and make sure it was fully used in the construction of coal and iron mines, he also opened the door to ensure their smooth and rapid production. Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing originally intended to use the investment of these people as a sign of attracting investment in Fengtian. Therefore, after the Fushun Coal Mine and Benxi Iron Mine were vigorously producing and making a lot of money, businessmen from Beijing, Tianjin, and Tang Dynasty all saw it. Opportunities to make money and trust in the Fengtian Provincial Government.
The prototype of Northeastern construction began here.
Fengtian and the Northeast are rich in resources, but they can only hold on to their rich wealth and cannot make money, and they have to attract foreign investment. This is like begging for food with a golden rice bowl, which is really unpleasant. But these mineral deposits have attracted covetous attention from all parties: the Japanese can mine, the governors and governors of each province can mine, the central bosses can send people to mine, and even some wealthy owners in the country can buy a piece of land to mine, too It’s up to you!
Another consequence of disordered mining is that there are too many minerals, and the province quickly lacks transportation capacity. In order to collect funds faster, mine owners began to dump minerals at low prices-it is easy to mine anyway and the cost is low. If this situation does not change, vicious competition will form, which will affect the interests of new mining companies, especially the newly constructed Fushun Coal Mine and Benxi Iron Mine.
The mine owners are extremely rich, but Zhang Zuolin has no money. This situation needs to change. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The owners are extremely rich, but Zhang Zuolin has no money. This situation needs to change. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

what to do? Nationalize it! As Zhang Hanqing said when he established Nai’s father to establish the “Land, Resources and Development Bureau”:
"The land belongs to the country, and the mineral resources attached to the land also belong to the country. I need to set up a department to manage these people and things. For those who have already opened mining, in addition to normal taxes, they must be handed over to the finance department, and the mining area cannot be extended. ——The resources in the Northeast are so rich. Sometimes one mine is connected to another. After a long time, I don’t know how big my mine is. Isn’t this a small private coal mine in Shanxi in the future? With a department, By drawing its boundaries, we can block the disorderly expansion of these people as much as possible, especially the Japanese!
The extra land will be owned by the state, which is controlled by this department. Want to open a mine? Okay, pay the money. The Fengtian Provincial Government can control the entry of mine owners at any time, and can better plan the economic layout. When iron is needed, iron mines will be opened at low prices. When coal prices are low, the scale of entry will be controlled. "
Zhang Hanqing’s idea of ??unifying mining resources has been affirmed and supported by investors in the capital, the upper echelons of the Feng army, and the main heads of the provincial and municipal governments in Fengtian. There is no way, they are all vested interests. Zhang Zuolin wanted to set an example for investors and rarely had any involvement in this mining investment. However, he also saw the benefits of unified resources: keeping businessmen in the palm of his hand would make the regime more secure in the long run.
Who is in charge of this organization? A character flashed into Zhang Hanqing's mind: Mi Chunlin. This person has a close relationship with him in history, and is known as the first of the "Four Major Military Supplies" in the field of military logistics. He is very good at logistics management. He now follows the Governor of Heilongjiang Province, Zhu Qinglan, as the director of the Guandu Gold Mine General Administration. . Zhu will be transferred to Guangdong Province in July, and Mi Chunlin will follow him. When official history and the Feng clan really intersect, it will take another year after Zhu loses power. Time waits for no one, now is the time to bring this talent under your command.
Lao Mi is only following Zhu Qinglan to seek a career, and he is not very loyal. It is much easier for him to change his mind than it is for Jiang Dengxuan. Zhu Qinglan was severely marginalized by Xu Lanzhou, the commander of the first division of the powerful faction in Heilongjiang. His status had long since deteriorated, and Lao Mi's life was also not easy. Now, through the hands of the young marshal, Zhang Zuolin throws an olive branch to Mi Chunlin. If Mi Chunlin doesn't catch it, he will really follow Zhu Qinglan and live a wandering life. When Zhu Qinglan learned that Lao Zhang wanted someone, he persuaded Mi Chunlin without saying a word. Marshal Zhang was also a rare wise man, so why bother with him anymore?
It’s not Zhu Qinglan who is open-minded, but Zhang Zuolin who speaks through his ally Xu Lanzhou. It can be said that Xu Lanzhou and Zhang Zuolin are close buddies. They take advantage of each other and respond to each other from far away. They have always cooperated very well. Xu Lanzhou is the most powerful person in Heilongjiang Province. When he speaks, even the governor and governor have to weigh it. With Zhang Zuolin's influence, if Zhu Qinglan wants to live a good life, will he not even give Lao Zhang face?
So as Zhang Hanqing wished, Mi Chunlin went south to Fengtian and immediately took up the post of director of the "Land Resources and Development Bureau". From being in dire straits to being in great power, Mi Chunlin felt like he was in a dream. Later I learned that his adventure was achieved through the mediation of Zhang Hanqing, and I was grateful to Zhang Hanqing for his kindness throughout his life.
Lao Zhang is very comfortable outside Fengtian, but he has trouble playing in the province.
“If you go out to hang out, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. This sentence is quite effective for Zhang Zuolin.
??After driving Duan, he took advantage of everything in terms of money, status, and arms. In addition, he was praised by public opinion. In contrast, Feng Delin, who had lost completely, felt like a thorn in his heart. Similarly, Yuan Shikai, who felt that he had lost control of Fengtian, didn't have any thoughts in his heart?
However, when the thorn was stabbed at Zhang Zuolin on his behalf by Feng Delin, who was also serving as an official in Fengtian, Yuan Shikai was relieved of his hatred inadvertently. It turned out that the two of them were both pillars of Fengtian Province. One was stationed in the provincial capital and the other was stationed in Beizhen. They were not affiliated with each other and lived in peace with each other for several years.
But this state of affairs was instantly broken by a letter of appointment from a general.
Because Feng Delin was fifty years old at the time, and Zhang Zuolin was forty-one. In front of Zhang, Feng always regarded himself as Senior Lulin. Feng Delin was a scholar and was far more "noble" than Zhang Zuolin. When he was in Green Forest, he had a crowd of thousands, which was beyond the comparison of Zhang Zuolin's petty fighting. After being recruited, his status was once higher than Zhang Zuolin's. Zhang Zuolin had made great achievements in conquering the Mongolian bandits. Under Xu Shichang's promotion, he was able to become the commander of the patrol battalion together with Feng Delin. Since then, the two have had equal status, and their relationship "has to" be quite harmonious.
"But Zhang Zuolin took office as the governor, but he annoyed the green forest senior Feng Delin. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Although Feng Delin could play the bad side in the double act and let his good brother Zhang Zuolin play the bad side, but when he later found out that Zhang Zuolin was being used, his anger was not trivial, not to mention that this former green forest junior turned out to be his immediate boss. , which one is intolerable!
&n, and said angrily: "It's really outrageous! Military Prime Minister, Military Secretary-General! Here is an Oriental sword, and there is an Oriental sword!" This refers to Duan and Xu who both studied at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and were dissatisfied with the political relationship between the two. Advancing and retreating together.
But there is no way. Without Duan Qirui, the Beiyang Army will not obey anyone. The unlucky one is his lame president. This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Zuolin used Zhang Hanqing's cleverness to test Yuan Shikai and succeeded - Lao Yuan had no time to play with him.
Similarly, Zhang Zuolin has no time to care about the situation in the capital. Feng Delin in the same city has become the first obstacle to his rise. Whether Feng Delin can be subdued or Feng can stop causing trouble for him is a test of Zhang Zuolin's wisdom. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 124 Feng Delin’s Appetite
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
With Zhang Zuolin making big moves in the provincial capital of Fengtian, Feng Delin, who was an official in the same province, was unwilling to let Zhang Zuolin dominate the previous ones and wanted to expand his troops. The reason is that since Zhang Zuolin, as a general, can expand ten battalions of troops, he, as the assistant military affairs officer, cannot show weakness.
Thinking about it, I had the same worth as Zhang. During the expulsion period, I also responded to the defense zone in Guangning. Now when I pick peaches, I find that my turn is shriveled and small. Of course I am very dissatisfied.
Zhang Zuolin seized the opportunity, drove away Duan Zhigui, and won General Shengjing, who was equivalent to the governor of Fengtian, and also had the administrative power of governor. Although the position of provincial governor in the military regime is far inferior to that of the governor, he can legitimately influence the allocation of various resources and gain the upper hand. And he only got an empty military affairs assistant. Now who in Fengtian City is not laughing at him for not being human and just making wedding clothes for others?
Feng Delin sent a telegram to the Central Committee, saying only that "the 28th Division needs to be expanded, please allow the recruitment of the seventh battalion of soldiers." He also designated Beizhen County as the location of the Military Affairs Office. The President ordered General Shengjing to comply with all orders. Beizhen County is Feng's hometown, and Guanshan, a famous medical doctor in Northeast China, is located in the county.
Not only that, Feng Delin ordered the Fengtian Department of Finance to allocate 500,000 yuan to fund the training of the flying team (i.e. the air force).
The Fengtian Finance Department was in the hands of Zhang Zuolin. Of course, it would not regard Feng Delin's words as an imperial edict, so it naturally reported it to Zhang Zuolin for instructions and a decision. Zhang Zuolin naturally refused to comply. He refused this unreasonable request on the grounds of financial constraints. What a joke, I am a military governor and a provincial governor, right? I gave you money to expand your army, did you get slapped in the head?
But no one expected that Feng Delin would come to the province in person, and this time he would not resign. Instead, they came to threaten me.
On May 20, Feng Delin led the five battalions of infantry, horse, and artillery into the city in a show of force, and set up the 28th Division office at Fengyutan in the south of Fengtian City to confront Zhang Zuolin's general mansion. Zhang Zuolin knew that Feng had come to the province, so he went to visit Feng's office in person and tried his best to show his favor. However, Feng Delin's heart was still open, so his attitude was not friendly and he ignored him.
Feng Delin had soldiers and guns, and relied on the weakness of the central government's jurisdiction, so he made three conditions to Zhang: "First, he requires assistants to have equal rights with generals; second, mutual consultation on personnel and administration; third, allocate 500,000 "Yuan bought an airplane for Feng"——Needless to say, this was his son Feng Yongzhi's trick. He used public funds to do private work. He liked this.
Zhang Zuolin was greatly disappointed. He began to taste the bitter consequences of his bosses Zhang Xiluan and Duan Zhigui. In order to deal with this unruly "subordinate", he arranged for his allies Wu Junsheng (then the commander of Fengtian's 2nd Cavalry Brigade and the garrison envoy of Taoliao (today's Taonan City)) and Ma Longtan (the garrison envoy) to come forward to "persuad "Driving", he advised Feng Delin to do his best to help him. These two people, themselves and Feng Delin, are the four important military figures in Fengtian. Feng knew that Wu and Ma were lobbyists for Zhang, so he blocked them. Zhang Zuolin had no choice but to visit Feng in person, and humbly said many good words to Feng about the blessings shared by brothers in need. Feng still angrily put forward the conditions for taking office, which is to establish a separate military affairs office. Its organization, expenditure, and establishment are all the same as the general office. It must be flesh and blood, with a chief of staff and four sections, and the establishment and funding must also be They are exactly the same, specifically Feng Yao and Zhang "Di Chou De Qi".
Zhang Zuolin's anger gradually grew. Isn't this too much to deceive others? Thinking about it, I had been promoted to general some time ago. All the famous people in Fengtian came, but Feng Delin. Not only did he not come, he didn't even arrange for anyone to congratulate him, and he even refused to take up the post of Assistant Military Affairs Officer out of anger. It made me feel depressed for a while, and I got angry just thinking about it.
He had just been appointed as a general and was about to show off his talents, but unexpectedly there was a hindrance from Feng Delin! However, the struggle for position is just a matter of whim and the use of force. He does not have a very reasonable excuse. On the contrary, it will give others an excuse to be domineering. Moreover, even though he is a general of Fengtian, all he can mobilize is his direct 27th division. Feng Delin has been in battle for a long time. In a real encounter with swordsmen, he may not have the upper hand. He wanted to make peace and was willing to make concessions, but he was unwilling to give in to this point.
However, Zhang Hanqing persuaded him, "Let him settle the trouble until everyone becomes disloyal and alienated. He wants face, so my father will work hard to give him face. Anyway, my father has grasped the overall situation and is a just and righteous chief of Fengtian. We will direct our resources to the 27th Master, there is nothing he can do, just like his father can't do anything to him. However, everyone in Fengtian City knows that his father is affectionate and righteous, and no one will laugh at him, but Feng, on the other hand, is disgusting with all kinds of appearances. Now Feng Delin has become notorious in Fengtian. My father wants to add fuel to the fire and report his bad reputation to the Central Committee. If we want to deal with him then, we have to be moral first and no one can say anything."
Zhang Zuolin nodded in agreement, so he called YuanShikai "Verdict".
??Although it is a long drought that brings nectar, Lao Yuan cannot violate the national system because of his great physical condition. Otherwise, it will not be revenge, but will cause trouble for himself. However, reprimanding Feng Delin like this would benefit Zhang Zuolin. After thinking about it, Yuan Shikai replied to Zhang Zuolin: "The establishment of the Assistant Office is not approved due to the incompatibility of the system, but the monthly expenses of the Military Assistant Office are 150,000 yuan." This not only refuted Feng Delin, but also made Zhang Zuolin bleed —— -This money is all provided by Fengtian Finance.
Zhang Zuolin deeply admires Yuan Shikai's solution to the problem, but there is no better way. He took the telegram and the first month's office expenses of 150,000 yuan to see Feng, fully expecting that Feng would agree. Unexpectedly, Feng refused to accept and at the same time sent a telegram to Yuan requesting to resign.
When Zhang Zuolin returned to the General's Mansion, Feng Delin did not go back to pay his respects. That night, Zhang prepared wine for Feng at the general's office. Feng refused to attend the banquet because he felt uncomfortable. Zhang Zuolin had no choice but to move the bottle to ask for advice, carried the banquet to Feng Delin's office, and summoned singing girls to come and have a drink. Feng Ju sat in the chief position, like a wooden man, motionless.
The next day, Zhang Zuolin thought that his continued "showing weakness" would give the stubborn and extremely proud Lao Feng some steps to step down. He once again went to visit Lao Feng with great fanfare, but saw that the building was empty and Huang He had disappeared. It turned out that Lao Feng did not wait for Yuan's reply at all, and led his troops back to the original position to defend Guangning early in the morning. The reason was to "inspect the defense."
Beizhen is your territory. You have been here for several years. What defenses do you need to inspect? Zhang Zuolin was slapped hard in the face.
At this point, Zhang Hanqing felt that he could justifiably break up with Feng Delin. However, Zhang Zuolin, who has been giving in until now, does not want to fall short. He still used soft work on Feng and hired a large number of craftsmen to repair the provincial office of the 28th Division. The interior was renovated, especially Feng's office, which was exactly the same as his own. He then sent his general counselor Yang Yuting to Beizhen to greet Deputy Feng. Come to the province to work.
Zhang Hanqing advised him: "With Feng Delin's personality, no matter how luxurious the office is, he will not be touched at all. His father has repeatedly given in, but Mr. Feng has pressed hard again and again. Such a person is afraid that no matter how many conditions he has, he will not be satisfied. Unless my father gives up the position of general to him, otherwise it will only increase the other party's prestige and make everyone in Feng Province doubt my father's prestige."
Zhang Zuolin was also very angry. He looked at Zhang Hanqing and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Liuzi, if I hadn't been worried about the conflict between cranes and clams and the fishermen benefiting from it, how could I have let the bastard Feng Delin embarrass me everywhere?"
Feng Delin, who was far away, sneezed and said angrily: "Damn Bandit Zhang, I just say nice things, I look glamorous, but I don't get any benefits. People think I'm not satisfied with how many benefits I got."
Not to mention, Zhang Zuolin also has a certain "saliva drying up" attitude.
Zhang Zuolin turned to soft tactics and sent Sun Liechen, the former commander of the 54th Brigade and who had taken over as commander of his 27th Division, to bring gifts and 300,000 yuan in cash to Guangning, Feng's defense line, to reward the troops and persuade Feng tactfully and respectfully. Return to the province. Feng Delin's attitude became more and more tough, and he was quite ready to show off his cards to Zhang. Zhang Zuolin still compromised and did not want to really fall out with Feng.
"However, Feng Delin returned to the trouble, but was killed by Zhang Zuolin in a big scene, which was quite a slap in the face. Killing people can only be done with a nod, Zhang Zuolin is already like this, what else do you want? Everyone from the Central Committee to the 27th Division felt that he was really unreasonable. Even in his own 28th Division, many people privately criticized him, saying that his assistant was unreasonable and too willful.
After all, what is the point of always challenging a "soft dough" like Zhang Zuolin if he is the leader? Zhang Zuolin, the strongman outside the customs, has repeatedly given you face, but you have always refused to give up. This is not a negotiation, but a competition, and a dispute of temper.
Under this situation, although Feng Delin knew that he had suffered a heavy loss, he did not dare to really fall out with Zhang Zuolin, so he followed suit and finally reluctantly agreed to be the "assistant" in military affairs.
The two powerful forces outside the pass are constantly fighting among themselves, which is quite a headache for the central government.
On June 6, Feng brought a large number of people to the province and proposed three "minimum" conditions to Zhang. The first two are still in the same format as a few days ago, even the words are the same, but the asking price of the third one has been changed a bit: the original request was 500,000 yuan, but now it only requires the Ministry of Finance to allocate 200,000 yuan to purchase additional aircraft for the 28th Division. Use. Zhang asked Feng to make some concessions, but Feng refused. Zhang humbled himself and went to see Feng, but Feng blocked him.
Originally, Zhang Zuolin also placed his hope on the mediation of the "Central|Central Government". Little did they know that Yuan Shikai, an old traitor, had always been divided and controlled when it came to employing people. He was secretly happy when Zhang and Feng fought with each other, because he was accustomed to making his subordinates restrain each other and did not want to develop a local figure who dominated one party. However, the imperial system failed and he did not want to cause any more disputes in Fengtian, so he asked his old boss Zhang Xiluan to serve as a transfer officer in Fengtian with the qualifications of an old boss. How did he know that "Kuaima Zhang" refused. He said : "I'm old, and these new rich people won't listen to me."

Chapter 125: Betrayal and separation
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
When Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, his two old friends Yan Xiu and Zhang Yilu, who had followed him for many years, clearly expressed their opposition to the restoration of the monarchy. They repeatedly discouraged Yuan Shikai from embarking on this dead end, but Yuan Shikai never woke up after all.
After all, there is no regret medicine in the world. On the night when the monarchy was abolished, Yuan Shikai brought Zhang Yilu to talk and said with great regret: "I didn't listen to you and Fan Sun (Yan Xiu's words) at that time. ), I feel really regretful and ashamed now that I think about it! Fan Sun has followed me for many years and has never mentioned any promotion to me; you have been in my shogunate for more than ten years, and you have never raised any personal requirements. It can be seen that How valuable are those who are indifferent to fame, glory, wealth, fame and fortune. These are the real scholars of the country! Those who once praised me, are they really serving the country and the people? Today they praise me as emperor, tomorrow It is possible to oppose the imperial system. Such people are everywhere! In short, I spend more time doing things and less time studying. This is my own fault. I can’t blame others."
In the end, Yuan Shikai said sadly: "It's just a small mistake for me, but a big mistake for the country. The country must take this as a warning!"
In the end, Yuan Shikai's body could no longer bear it. Proclaiming himself king and emperor not only failed to help him break the family curse, but also accelerated his death. During the Lantern Festival in 1916, while the whole family gathered together to eat Lantern Festival, the sixth, eighth and ninth concubines quarreled loudly in front of Yuan Shikai over the status of "concubine" and "concubine". After seeing this, Yuan Shikai let out a long sigh and said, "Don't make trouble anymore! You all have to go back to Zhangde and wait to send my coffin back together!" After saying that, Yuan Shikai got up and returned to the office.
This was unthinkable in the past. How could Lao Yuan, who had always wanted to be strong in his life, say such depressing words?
No one has ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of Lao Yuan, not even the concubines. When did this family’s tradition be overturned? Is it true that heroes are dying?
His brain, which is good at dealing with all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases, can no longer cope with housework, and his energy is also much lower than before. He is no longer like the "simply the embodiment of health and fitness" as the New York Times said at the time. "Although one day He works more than ten hours and never looks tired. He is decisive in dealing with things, can keenly discover the key points of the situation, and make major decisions quickly."
At that time, the War to Protect the Country had broken out, and Yuan Shikai was worried and depressed all day long. After being harassed by his family, Yuan Shikai began to eat less from that day, and his health gradually took a turn for the worse. Amid calls from all parties for the president to abdicate, Yuan Shikai was in chaos.
Under the "recommendation" of Fengtian General Zhang Zuolin, Sun Liechen, commander of the 54th Brigade, succeeded as the commander of the 27th Division. At this time, the army that can be relied on is none other than Zhang Zuolin, who will naturally respond to requests. However, when Zhang Zuolin began vigorous military training, he failed to agree to Yuan Shikai's dispatch of troops. The last straw did not work. Seeing that the situation was over, Yuan Shikai fell ill from worry and anger in late May.
The blows came one after another. Feng Guozhang, one of the "Three Heroes of Beiyang", refused the appointment of chief of staff a year ago and had no choice but to agree to his "remote leadership" in Nanjing. When Yunnan becomes independent, organize the National Defense Army to attack Yuan Shikai. In view of the rise of the nationwide movement to challenge Yuan, Feng Guozhang stopped pretending to be ill. On March 9, 1916, he called Yuan Shikai to turn a blind eye to the matter. From then on, he boldly opened up his opposition to the imperial system and became "the most central figure in the Beiyang faction's opposition to Emperor Hongxian."
On the one hand, Feng Guozhang sent repeated telegrams to Yuan Shikai, asking "not to start a war lightly", and on the other hand, he communicated with the Southwest Yunnan and Guangxi warlords Tang Jiyao and Lu Rongting through messengers such as Liang Qichao, Hu Egong and others, in order to promote the independence of the Southwest and Lu Rongting to attack Guangzhou and drive away Yuan Shikai's best friend Long. Ji Guang; at the same time, he persuaded the Beiyang Army in Sichuan to cease war with the National Guard Army, and instructed Sichuan and Hunan generals Chen Huan and Tang Xiangming to send a telegram to reject Yuan Shikai's order. When Yuan Shikai sent Cao Kun to lead the Beiyang Army into Sichuan to engage the National Defense Army, Liang Qichao sent people to Nanjing to ask Feng Guozhang to assist Cai E in opposing the monarchy and safeguarding the republic. Feng Guozhang said to the envoy: "I am a person he (referring to Yuan Shikai) single-handedly promoted and relatively trusted. My telegram was a major blow to him. It cannot be denied that we have a feeling of knowing each other. Regarding personal relations, I should Those who support him must not do this in terms of national plans, and it may not be good for him. Once the people of the country rise up to attack, the disaster will be more severe. Therefore, based on the results I just considered, I decided to send a message to persuade Yuan to abdicate. "So Feng asked his secretary to prepare two telegrams, one to Yuan Shikai to persuade him to abdicate; the other to Hubei, Jiangxi and the southwestern provinces to express his opposition to the Hongxian monarchy.
Not only that, Feng also took the initiative to contact generals such as Jiangxi Li Chun, Zhejiang Zhu Rui, Hunan Tang Xiangming, Shandong Jin Yunpeng and other generals to jointly send a secret message to the generals of each province to seek opinions on how to deal with the situation. It was called the "Five Generals Secret Message" at the time. The content of the message demanded that the southerners cancel their independence, withdraw from the war zone, andProtect the people in the battlefield. It demands that the North abolish the imperial system, punish the chief culprits of the imperial system, and ask the head of state to resign on his own initiative to serve the interests of the people of the country. It can be seen that the "Five Generals Secret Telegram" was Feng Guozhang's attempt to summon the non-independent provinces and regions in the name of the leader of the "neutral" provincial generals to form a third force in an attempt to unite the National Defense Army and overthrow Yuan Shikai.
On March 19, when Zhili Provincial Inspector Zhu Jiabao presented the "Secret Message of the Five Generals" to Yuan Shikai for review, Yuan Shikai was so angry that he almost fainted. The Beiyang Department, which he had single-handedly cultivated and relied on to make a fortune, actually wanted to plot against him. This situation is very similar to the one when Duan Qirui took the lead in sending out the power to force the palace. The only difference is that the person who is forcing the people and the person who is being forced are different. Yuan Shikai really couldn't accept this reality. He said to the people sitting next to him: "I dreamed of a superstar landing last night. This is the second time I have had such a dream in my life. After the first dream, less than one In March, 'Wen Zhonggong' (Li Hongzhang's posthumous title) passed away, and this time it will probably be my turn."
When the imperialists saw this telegram, they were all stunned and speechless, which shows the extent of the impact of the "Five Generals Secret Telegram" on Yuan's imperial system. In view of the fact that the struggle of the people across the country against the imperial system was in the ascendant, and that the country was already in a state of fragmentation and rebellion, Yuan Shikai knew that he was on the verge of extinction. However, in order to still retain power, he attempted to continue to occupy the position of president, so he announced the abolition of the imperial system on March 22.
He was unwilling to abdicate, and then he was unable to do anything when the war started. In the end, his mental strength was haggard and his body collapsed. By the last days of May 1916, Yuan Shikai was no longer able to work;
Yuan Shikai suffered from soft foot disease in the late Qing Dynasty, which was the reason why the then regent Zaifeng dismissed him. After the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911, Yuan Shikai came back and needed help from servants when entering the palace. This time, Yuan Shikai's disease was caused by bladder stones causing uremia to infect the whole body. Originally, this disease was not life-threatening, but Yuan Shikai was quite stubborn and refused to see Western medicine or undergo surgery (probably because of the special location of the disease) , ashamed to speak), coupled with the various unfavorable conditions after God's control, the anxiety and anger aggravated his condition.

Chapter 126 Death of the Hero
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Since the "Secret Telegram of the Five Generals" was leaked, the rift between Feng Guozhang and Yuan Shikai has become even more difficult to conceal. So Feng Guozhang refused to do anything and decided to put more pressure on Yuan to force him to cede power to him.
For this reason, Feng Guozhang publicly called the Beijing government on April 1 and 16 to persuade Yuan to abdicate as soon as possible. Warlords from various provinces followed suit one after another and sent telegrams to persuade Yuan Shikai to abdicate quickly. Yuan Shikai had no choice but to send his confidant Ruan Zhongshu south to beg Feng Guozhang. At Ruan Zhongshu's request, Feng Guozhang agreed to contact various provinces and act as mediator. On May 18, Feng Guozhang invited representatives from non-independent provinces to hold a conference in Nanjing.
Feng Guozhang intended to force Yuan to step down through the Nanjing Conference and replace him with him. However, due to Ni Sichong's sabotage and the different strategies of the general representatives from various provinces and regions, the Nanjing Conference died. Feng was self-defeating and was denounced by public opinion as: "Instead of calling it a meeting to resolve the Yuan family's status, it would rather be called a meeting to resolve his own status."
The final blow to Lao Yuan was three telegrams from his confidant Chen Huan, the governor of Sichuan. This was when Chen Huan's teacher Luo Chengxiang drafted three telegrams for Chen Huan to attack Yuan Shikai. Luo Bing confidently said: "I will make the national traitor angry to death!" The three telegrams were sent out one after another in May 1916. The first two telegrams The tone was relatively mild, and he only advised Yuan Shikai to abdicate, but the third statement made Yuan Shikai furious: "From today on, Sichuan will sever personal relations with the Yuan family. On the day when the Yuan family is in office, he will punish Sichuan in the name of the government. The Sichuan Province will treat it as invalid." Yuan Shikai never expected that his confidant Chen Huan would "reverse" him, and he was so angry that he shouted that "people's hearts have changed."
After all this trouble, Lao Yuan has given up. After his condition worsened rapidly and he had difficulty urinating, at Yuan Keding's insistence, Yuan Shikai asked French doctor Besigye to come for diagnosis and treatment, but by now it was too late. Bessie suggested that Yuan Shikai go to the hospital for surgery, as there might be a chance of survival, but Yuan Shikai refused. Under this situation, Bessie had no choice but to catheterize Yuan Shikai in his bedroom, but all that came out was hematuria. Yuan Shikai knew that he could not afford it, so he hurriedly sent for Xu Shichang and Duan Qirui, and handed the presidential seal to Xu Shichang, saying: "The president should be Li Songqing (Li Yuanhong's nickname), I am fine. I’m also going back to Zhangde.”
On June 5, Yuan Shikai went into shock and fell into a coma. However, while he was awake, he still wrote a suicide note on his case, writing: "Destroy Japan's big enemy!" I don't know if it was a compliment to his life or a prediction of the future situation. It was postponed to 6 a.m. on June 6, and Yuan Shikai finally returned to the West with his life, just as Luo Chengxiang said, "I want to piss off the national traitors to death."
It is said that after Yuan Shikai recovered from a coma in the early morning of the 6th, he whispered to his old friend Xu Shichang, who was at his side, "Yang Du, Yang Du, mistaken me, mistaken me." Some people also say that when Yuan Shikai died, he said: "He was the one who hurt me." !" Yuan Shikai did not say who this "he" was. Most people thought he was referring to the eldest son Yuan Keding. When it comes to this restoration scandal, Yuan Keding really has to bear half of the responsibility. He wanted to be a prince and wanted to be a prince. In the end, he pushed the old man to the fire and roasted him, which made Yuan Shikai a great hero. In the end, he was killed by this prince. It was a pity. Ridiculous and deplorable, the eternal infamy is truly the ultimate coward. Yuan Keding was neither civilized nor martial, of low moral character, not very virtuous, and was confused for half his life, not to mention that he was favored by men in his later years, but ended up bankrupting his family and ending up in poverty. How could Yuan Shikai be undefeated if he had such a prince?
Since Yuan Shikai was still the serving president when he died, Li Yuanhong mourned him as an in-office president after he succeeded him. At that time, in addition to allocating 500,000 public funds for funeral expenses, the central government also ordered civil and military agencies to lower flags at half-mast, stop banquets for 27 days, and stop private entertainment for 7 days; civil and military officials and troops stationed in Beijing were all required to wear black veils; established "Funeral Office", Cao Rulin, Wang Yitang, and Zhou Ziqi hosted the funeral ceremony, and Li Yuanhong, Xu Shichang, and Duan Qirui were in charge.
The cause of Yuan Shikai's death was fundamentally a humiliating failure in his life's career. On the surface, it was because he did not believe in Western medicine. "The disease that caused his death was bladder stones. The initial symptom was difficulty in urinating. At this time, if he was hospitalized for catheterization or surgery, his life would not be in danger. However, he has always believed in traditional Chinese medicine and has never wanted to consult a Western doctor." . (Yuan Jingxue, "My Father Yuan Shikai") By the time we finally had no choice but to call in Western medicine, it was already too late.
Yuan Shikai’s funeral is an interesting symbol of his life from another aspect. "This ceremony is a great mixture of new and old customs, as well as Chinese and Western etiquette." "Some of the lamas performing the ceremony chanted sutras, and some played Mongolian musical instruments, while the modern Western band was playing European funeral marches." This unique scene perfectly illustrates the success and failure of Yuan Shikai's life.
It may be assumed that if Yuan Shikai had died in 1913, he would have been recorded in history as a progressive figure. Unfortunately, he lived for 3 more years. It was during these three years that he transformed himself from a "consistently progressive" person"The trend-setters of the era have turned into "stealers of the country" who are reversing the course of history.
After Yuan Shikai's death, those old friends who opposed him overtly or covertly during the War to Protect the Country also "resolved their old feuds" and rushed to Beijing in person or with their entourage to mourn the old leader. Therefore, Yuan Shikai's funeral was also held with great splendor and preparation. Ai Rong. The most deplorable thing is that Yu Gan'er and former Fengtian general Duan Zhigui, after learning the news of Yuan Shikai's death, he hurriedly traveled all the way from outside the customs at night. When he arrived in front of the Xinhua Palace, he screamed and burst into tears. People who didn't know it thought he was dead. He is his biological father (what a filial son!).
As early as after the Second Revolution, Zhang Jian, who was known as the "Northern Zhou (Xue Xi) and Southern Zhang", kept a distance from Yuan Shikai. Although he supported Yuan's authoritarian politics, proclaiming himself emperor was the bottom line that Zhang could not tolerate. Later, when Zhang heard the news of Yuan Shikai's death, he was very sorry. He wrote in his diary: "A talent that has changed in thirty years has not been seen in three thousand years. He could have been a first-rate person, but he was destroyed by the hands of a small group of people." In Zhang Jian's eyes, Yuan was the person who could change China. If he could be in power for thirty years, China would surely rise.
Because Yuan Shikai’s funeral was too extravagant, it was discovered during the final settlement that he could not make ends meet. The special funds allocated by the government were not enough to build the cemetery project after deducting the funeral expenses. To this end, eight people including Xu Shichang, Duan Qirui, and Wang Shizhen jointly launched a public appeal, asking people from all walks of life to donate money and help. Finally, they collected 250,000 yuan, and finally ended Yuan Shikai's funeral.
As an advocate of the imperial system, Yang Du was reviled and denounced by the whole country as soon as the Hongxian monarchy was introduced. Yang Du was called a traitor in his hometown, and his former friend Liang Qichao called him a "shameless, squirming traitor". Lover". As an act of self-purification or self-restraint, Yang Du wrote a couplet to express his feelings to Yuan:
The Republic mistook the Republic of China, and the Republic of China mistook the Republic; after a hundred generations, peace will be a prison.
"The king's constitution bears the responsibility of the Ming Gong, and the Ming Gong bears the monarch's constitution; under the nine springs, these words are repeated three times."
However, no matter what, it is sad that a generation of heroes ended up like this? But according to Zhang Hanqing's meaning, it is "you will not survive if you do it yourself." If you are old and old, you are doing this. Is it really that you are old and confused? It seems that later generations have repeatedly emphasized that it is really necessary to abolish the lifelong tenure of cadres. If such a day comes, Zhang Hanqing also decides not to stay in the past, but to give up as soon as he can. At most, he will set up a counselor or advisory committee or something like the Lee Dynasty in Singapore. , isn’t it happy? Why can’t these people look away?
The tree fell and the macaques scattered. When Lao Yuan went west, his supporters must have something to explain to the world, the famous so-called "Thirteen Taibao". However, because it was still the same group of people who took over Beiyang, they had to use elbows when moving.
The list proposed by the southwestern princes is the Thirteen Taibao, namely the "Six Gentlemen of Care" and the "Seven Evils" Zhu Qiqian, Duan Zhigui, Zhou Ziqi, Liang Shiyi, Zhang Zhenfang, Lei Zhenchun, Yuan Naikuan and others. But in fact, these 13 people were not the only ones who helped the tyranny? The southwest has reduced its coverage to make it easier for the north to accept it, but Duan Qirui, the new cabinet minister, still does not accept it. He is not willing to punish these people at all. First, he has a flesh-and-blood relationship with many of them. Second, he has a close relationship with many of them. Although he did not agree with the countercurrent move, the spirit of these people to serve Yuan wholeheartedly was the "tradition" necessary to maintain Beiyang power. Since he inherited the mantle of the Beiyang Group, Yuan Zhi's wings are his wings, so he has to do his best to excuse him.
Just when these lists were being decided, Yuan Keding called urgently to plead for Zhen Zhenchun and Zhang Zhenfang, and Feng Guozhang called to plead for Duan Zhigui. Because they were also powerful warlords with manpower and territory, these three names were removed from the list;
Li Jingxi insisted that Yan Fu and Liu Shipei "are rare talents", and two more were missing from the list;
Someone else suggested to Duan Qirui that in order to show goodwill to the south, Li Xie and Hu Ying should not be listed, so these two "grassroots" were also at large; Yuan Naikuan was the nephew of the Yuan family, so he was also listed by Duan Qirui. Ray was checked off the list.
In this way, only the "Five Taibao" are left among the "Thirteen Taibao". The Beiyang warlords could no longer deal with the Northeastern warlords, so they picked up Gu Ao, Xia Shoutian, and Xue Dake, who had little connection with the Beiyang group. In fact, the three of them were just "walk-in" roles. Regarding this, Zhang Xun also openly opposed it by telegraphing, saying, "Although the opinions are different, they are just expressing their own opinions. How can success or failure be weighed by the chief culprit?"
After bargaining, a wanted order was finally issued to punish the "culprit": "It's the people who caused the trouble, but the real body is to blame." Yang Du, Sun Yujun, Gu Ao, Liang Shiyi, Xia Shoutian, Zhu Qiqian, Zhou Ziqi, and Xue Dake were all handed over. The court will interrogate the famous man in detail, impose severe punishments as a warning for future generations, and exempt all others."
But even if a wanted order was issued, the Beiyang warlords did not really want to arrest these people. Even before the wanted order was issued, the central government had used various channels to hint the people on the list to leave Gyeonggi as soon as possible. Soon, Yang Du, Sun Yujun, Liang Shiyi and others moved from Beijing to the Tianjin Concession, and others were summoned by Zhang Xun to Xuzhou to be honored guests. Other participants who are not on the list still have peace of mind because their wanted posters have the words "all others exempted." Therefore, the high-sounding wanted order is just a formality, just to deceive others.

Chapter 127 The Warlord Era
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Looking at Yuan Shikai’s subsequent failures, historians have their own opinions. But what is undisputed is that after his death, his military leaders divided China into their own spheres of influence, thus forming another round of warlord disputes in China. In the ten years before 1926 in official history, these warlords almost always ignored the Republic of China government that nominally ruled the country in Beijing. In order to compete for territory, they fought against each other and squandered the best wealth since the Beiyang warlords became a family. Empty. When the industrial economy could not provide its huge military expenditure, in order to obtain tax revenue, they brutally plundered the countryside and dragged China into a state of barbaric anarchy, making the early years of the Republic of China one of the worst periods in Chinese history. . While the Western powers were moving forward, China stagnated. Since then, it has lagged behind for decades in modern history, and China has been unable to recover.
Several factors explain this tragic outcome of the decades-long response to the West. First, China's vast territory has kept the mainland untouched by interactions with the West for many years. The mainland amounts to a vast repository from which tradition-minded candidates for civil service have been produced for decades. They formed a bureaucracy composed of intellectuals who were absorbed in the Confucian classics and therefore emphasized ethical principles rather than craftsmanship or war techniques. This ruling class was further constrained by the fact that, with the exception of Chen Buddhism, China had little or no tradition of borrowing from abroad. It is not surprising, then, that while China did change in the second half of the nineteenth century, its pace of change lagged far behind that of other countries responding to the West.
“However, bureaucrats cannot be allowed to bear all the responsibility for China’s failure. Young, Western-educated Chinese are also partly to blame. Although some of them played a major role in the early Republic of China, they tried to establish some systems in China that were exactly the same as those they observed and learned from abroad, especially from the United States. The system they established was naturally meaningless to the Chinese people and soon fell apart in the face of China's political reality.
An American authority vividly described the failure of these unsophisticated politicians: "It is ridiculous to establish a replica of the American republic in China in 1911. That kind of republic is a big problem." Failure because it has no foundation in China’s history, tradition, political experience, system, nature, beliefs, concepts or habits. It is foreign, empty, and added to China. It changes over time It was quickly removed. It did not represent political thought, but was only a caricature of political thought, a crude, childish, schoolboy caricature.?… This republic ended miserably, that is, failed miserably. However, , it was not the republic that failed but a generation.”
Yes, if we look at the politics of the early Republic of China from a modern perspective, especially the political situation after the political strongman Yuan Shikai, we will find that the entire central government is like a loose sand, and no one has absolute influence and restriction. The head changes into the king's flag." If it is a powerful country, like the modern United States, this kind of separation is a good thing. It can effectively prevent one family from becoming dominant and restrain each other in the handling of daily national affairs. But in a divided country full of internal and external troubles, this kind of fragmentation is very dangerous. Europe, the United States and Japan are competing to find their agents in China, which will make China continue to slide into the abyss of semi-colony and collapse.
A country cannot be left without an owner for a day. After Yuan Shikai, who was emperor for 83 days, died, China returned to the old system of the original Republic of China. Who will be president in this situation? It was impossible to invite Sun Yixian back because it was the original Beiyang warlords who controlled the military and political power of the entire Republic of China. In this case, it is impossible for them to be willing to invite Sun Yat-sen. At this time, Li Yuanhong took advantage of the chaos and ran away from Yingtai and settled in Dongchang Hutong, Beijing. He lived in seclusion and avoided guests.
According to the "Constitution of the Republic of China" at that time, if the president is going to die, the vice president should take over, and it is logical that Li Yuanhong should be the one to take over. So the most famous Duan Qirui was pushed to Dongchang Hutong to invite Li Yuanhong.
It is said that the person with the most power at that time was Duan Qirui. Duan Qirui had military power, administrative power, and was in charge of the State Council. Some people ask, why is Duan Qirui not the president now? At this time, Duan Qirui also knew that if he stood up to be president, he would become the target of public criticism. People who dissatisfied with him would form a tightrope to fight against him, and he would not be able to stop him if he offended the public. After all, Lao Yuan's body was still cold, so how could he know that his subordinates who were loyal to Lao Yuan would not blame him for Lao Yuan's death. As a former follower, he was quite strongly opposed to Lao Yuan.
So Duan Qirui thought, I have to find a puppet to be the president. Who to look for? There is no one more suitable than Li Yuanhong.
Although this "Brother Hong" has the merits of being the "first righteousness" in Wuchang, he is still under the leadership of the Central CommitteeLack of energy, his camp is in Hubei, and the Kuomintang has disrupted the grassroots. Just letting him become the president is not just letting him be rounded and flattened, so why should he stick to his reputation and status?
Another very popular one of the "Three Heroes of Beiyang", General Xuanwu Feng Guozhang, also wisely did not make the first move. When Congress elected him vice president, he did not want to lose his territory, so he took office in Jiangsu and remained the governor of Jiangsu. Just like in the era of Lao Yuan, the post was "received from a distance".
One stone stirs up a thousand waves. The chaos inside the customs also affected those outside the customs. As the saying goes, there are no tigers in the mountains, but monkeys dominate. Feng Delin just wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the world and make a big fuss, but no one would care, right? Moreover, crying children are fed by milk. The current situation is unclear. In order to stabilize the situation outside the customs, someone might offer him an olive branch.
Since Beijing could not control Fengtian's affairs, Feng Delin gave Zhang Zuolin an ultimatum, giving him a day's reply. Zhang then asked his ally Wu Junsheng to intervene. When Wu saw Feng Shigang mentioning the word "general", Feng cursed and said, "What the hell is he?" ?" Wu Junsheng said a lot of good things to Feng and made a lot of mistakes. Feng Nai put forward three final and minimum conditions: (1) Employment and administration must be approved; (2) Fengtian's military and political expenses must not exceed the budget, and must be used as a last resort. Coordinated handling; (3) Zhang Zuolin personally led all the officers of the 27th Division, including battalion commanders and above, to the 28th Division office to formally apologize.
If this is the case, Zhang Zuolin's personnel power will be restricted, and Feng Delin will naturally extend his hand outside Beizhen and become the governor who is not the governor; the monopoly on financial power will also be divided, and it will naturally be unfair to continue to fund the Guard Brigade. Not going well. "Coordinated handling", Feng Delin naturally had to bargain over the military expenses for the expansion of seven battalions; the chief officer apologized to his deputy, and there was no need to talk about losing face.
Zhang Hanqing was naturally very angry. He sneered and asked Zhang Zuolin: "With people and financial power divided in half, my father, as a general, is not worthy of his name. Moreover, Feng Delin has never been involved in government affairs, and now his father has also stepped back in civil affairs. I am afraid that Feng Delin will find it hard to satisfy his grievances. Pushing the envelope even further. In my opinion, I rejected him outright. We are not afraid of him even if he uses knives or guns."
Zhang Zuolin smiled bitterly: "You think I don't want to? The man named Feng deliberately chose a good time to cause trouble between me and me. Old Yuan passed away, and the world was in chaos. No matter who succeeded him, he didn't want the world to be in chaos. If I were at this time We completely fell out with him and fought again and again. The person named Feng will be able to establish his own business immediately. If the two of us get into trouble, the Central Committee will most likely let the person named Feng serve as the governor of Rehe City in order to calm people's hearts. Rehe City Tong Jiang Guiti is old, and I am confident that we can win Rehe. But if Feng becomes the capital commander, and his soldiers and horses are strong, the outcome will probably be 50-50. So no matter what, I can only endure it.”
He understands Feng’s personality. This person is very aggressive and cannot bargain. The more he bargains, the higher he gets. If you want to compromise, you must immediately agree to Feng's harsh conditions. On June 11, Zhang Zuolin put on a wry smile and led his senior officers to the 28th Division office to apologize to Feng and agree to all Feng's conditions. This trip made Lao Feng calm down. He also greeted him with a smile and invited two guardian envoys, Wu Xingquan and Ma Longtan, to accompany Zhang Zuolin for a few rounds of mahjong. Everyone played hahaha.
A few days later, the Shanghai newspaper published the scene of him apologizing to Feng. He was so angry that he couldn't leave his house for several days. He ordered the interviewer to be arrested and began to inspect the post and telecommunications. "What a shame! You're going too far!" Zhang Zuolin was furious. He felt deeply that this trip was very humiliating.
Zhang needs to really cooperate with Feng, while Feng is pretending to cooperate with Zhang. Shortly after this apparent reconciliation, Feng Delin detained all the county police chiefs appointed by Lao Zhang in his defense area and asked them to reveal how much red envelopes they had spent to buy the vacancies. He declared that he would settle the accounts with Lao Zhang and It is said that Zhang Zuolin used this method to deal with Duan Zhigui and force him to step down in the past. Now Feng Delin is treating him in his own way. Then, he sent out a call and led all the soldiers in the army to resign. I don’t know whether it’s because of his high level or because he has capable people, but the telegram was written in a lively and informative way: “Director Zhang is a very wise man and can conscientiously organize the military. Lin’s officers and men are all subordinates and should retreat immediately. A wise path.”
??The resignation of military personnel after powering up was a tactic used at that time to retreat in order to advance. Feng Delin led the entire army to resign this time, which was an innovation in the resignation of military personnel. Zhang Zuolin couldn't bear the continuous losses and he personally sent Zhang Hanqing to solemnly negotiate with Feng Delin.
Before proceeding, Zhang Hanrenqing had already confessed to his father. He came here to try hard to gain Feng Delin's understanding. As for the conditions, he still had to maintain what he had discussed last time - Lao Zhang had already made enough concessions. He really can't give in anymore, otherwise, the general will give it to him!
After half a year, Zhang Hanqing entered Feng Delin's home again, and the unhappiness in Beijing had gradually subsided. At the door of his home, Feng Delin still didn't show any airs to his nephews. After all, Zhang and Feng had exchanged posts. At that time, Feng Yong and another middle-aged general were present. Zhang and Feng, two Han ministers who had not known each other for a long time, greeted each other.
On behalf of his father, Zhang Hanqing called him: "Uncle, Xueliang is here. It is my father's instruction to ask for advice from my uncle. My uncle wants to supervise personnel and finance. My father has agreed and informed the officials of the Fengtian Provincial Government. Regarding all the previous unhappiness, my father I also apologized to my uncle in person. I don’t know, a few days later, my uncle suddenly changed his mind again. My father wants to know, what exactly did he offend?"
Even though Feng Delin was thick-skinned, he was still a little shy in front of Zhang Hanqing. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Even if they don't know each other, they greet each other.

Speaking of which, this is a bit unreasonable.
Feng Delin didn’t just get back together with Zhang Zuolin without thinking about it. His subordinates also tried to persuade him many times. But when I think about Zhang Zuolin's methods, I feel that since I have offended him, I can no longer look forward and backward, otherwise, Zhang Zuolin will not give up if he wants to gain power.
From a general point of view, Zhang Zuolin's position as military governor has been confirmed and cannot be changed. Feng Delin knows this very well, as can be seen from his half-resignation and half-term position as assistant military affairs officer. National affairs are no joke. Is there any reason to issue a letter of appointment on the front foot and then change it on the back foot? And the opponent is Zhang Zuolin, who has the strength of a master and is fully capable of giving it a try!
Only the provincial governor, because the letter of appointment given to Zhang Zuolin stated that the general "will also be in charge of civil affairs." There are many ways to this "simultaneity", and there is a chance that it can be taken away at any time. Because currently across the country, there are still many generals who do not serve as provincial governors. Feng Delin's previous fights, fights, quarrels, and quarrels were all for this position.
On the surface, a general has a high status and can lead the army and intervene in politics. However, considering that Zhang Zuolin only has one division, if he can get the post of provincial governor, it will not be easy for Zhang Zuolin to control Fengtian like other generals. There is even a chance that I can completely ignore him.
The political life of a warlord lies in his military power, and all warlords cling to military power. Even if you become a military governor, you still have to serve as a division commander of the Central Committee. You might as well compare the historical governors of Shandong and the commanders of the 5th Division, the military governors of Jiangsu and the commanders of the 6th Division. The trajectory of personnel changes is almost consistent. of.
Generally speaking, if there is military power, there will be administrative power, which can influence or even directly decide the candidate of the provincial governor, but this also depends on the identity of the provincial governor. If the provincial governor himself has military power, the governor's control over the provincial governor will be greatly reduced. Moreover, it is not impossible that the provincial governor can use his administrative power to step aside the governor step by step. After all, the army still needs food and salary, and the local supply of food and salary in the Republic of China accounts for a large part.
Feng Delin is confident that Lao Zhang cannot grasp his military power. As long as he successfully wins the position of governor of Fengtian, he will be invincible. Therefore, in response to Zhang Hanqing's question, he said kindly: "Go back and tell Yuting that if he resigns from the post of inspector to the Central Committee and recommends me to take the post, I, Feng Delin, will not embarrass him again."
What a good idea!
Zhang Hanqing lowered his lips secretly, but he really dared to open his mouth. If you get the position of provincial governor, with your willful energy, let alone unifying the Northeast, it will be even harder to pull out the thorn in your doorstep. He said to Feng Delin: "Administration is the backbone of the country and cannot be interfered with by the local government. Although my father is open-minded, he cannot set this example. Xueliang can guarantee this, but my father will never agree. Uncle's The conditions seem a bit overwhelming.”
Feng Kai’s condition was that he should also serve as governor. That was Zhang Zuolin’s bottom line. At the last moment, he would never give in. Not enough words to speculate. Since the two sides have huge differences, it is estimated that they cannot be resolved through negotiation. No wonder some people say that war is a continuation of politics - if there is no agreement, there is only a fight!
Feng Delin said lightly: "In that case, there is nothing to talk about. Go back and tell Zhang Zuolin that I, Feng Delin, am here waiting for him to change his mind." He looked at the young Zhang Hanqing, and the scene in Beijing came to mind again. Calculating old and new grudges together, Zhang's father and son were really enemies of their predecessors, and they competed in every door. If he hadn't ruined his interaction with Zhu Qiqian, he might have been married to the Zhu family. With this relationship, the evolution of Fengtian's situation would definitely not be as passive as it is now. When I thought of this, I couldn't help but sneer and said: "I know my destiny, but I was stabbed by a junior when I was old. If I didn't let out this anger, everyone would think that I, Feng, was a good-tempered person. "
It is already a bit rude to call him by his name in front of his son rather than by words. Zhang Hanqing was slightly stunned, cupped his hands and said: "Xue Liang must repay my father truthfully, uncle, just wait for the good news. However, the road is walked by people, and the road is chosen by the person. If you take the wrong road, you can't just blame others. If the guidance is wrong, you have to watch the road under your feet. I wonder if Xueliang is right?" Now that the other party had broken his heart, Zhang Hanqing responded directly, and the word "wait" in his words was very important. . The next few sentences were very straightforward, and Feng Delin naturally heard the cynicism in his words.
Feng Delin was a little surprised. When the old man was angry, he was a little bit tongue-tied. He immediately said angrily: "Zhang Zuolin has been very polite to me for half his life, but how come you gave birth to such an ignorant thing? Are you trying to teach me a lesson!?"
Zhang Hanqing will not suffer this loss: "I dare not. Although my father does not know a few words, he has always taught us brothers not to cause trouble and not to be afraid of it. We should not be disrespectful when coming and going. You adults should try your best to learn the right and wrong of the world. Don’t misinterpret or mix things up, after all, it’s the sameWith such a temper, he would have already sent out his troops to kill you to death.
“But Zhang Zuolin is no longer the bandit king he used to be. He has been tolerant, but it’s not because he lacks strength. You must know that the 36 towns (divisions) of the New Army were all built according to the German organization, with 2 brigades and 4 regiments, one artillery regiment and one cavalry regiment under the direct jurisdiction of the division. During the several years that Zhang Zuolin ran Fengtian, he never engaged in the act of drinking the blood of soldiers. He often spent extra money from Fengtian's finances and established a real division-affiliated artillery regiment. Due to financial constraints, many divisions were nothing more than an artillery regiment. Some were equipped with only one battalion, and some did not even have a few decent cannons. Zhang Zuolin's 27th Division was considered to be relatively well-equipped among the Beiyang Army at that time. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the three-nine in the winter and three-in-one in the summer. The life of being a soldier is very hard, and it is indeed a test for Zhang Hanqing, a young man who is probably still at school age, especially as he still has the capital to be a playboy. Many people think that Zhang Hanqing must be here for gold plating, and some people secretly wear colored glasses to prepare for jokes. The most obvious master is Tang Yulin, who once said to Zhang Hanqing more than once: "My eldest nephew, if you can't bear to eat and get tired, just take a rest. You are born to lead troops, there is no need to follow the mud and rain like these soldiers." Go."
The generals of the 27th Division are all instructors in the martial arts hall, so the words of instructor Tang are very confusing. If Zhang Hanqing hadn't always been wary of him, he probably wouldn't have been able to see through the gloating behind his apparent concern. Since he has firmly believed, how can he be easily tempted by others?
Zhang Zuolin is also paying attention to him all the time. I really didn’t expect that this little kid was so ruthless in what he did! He has never used his own name to get any easy ideas for him. Not only that, he often takes the initiative to increase the pressure and strive for excellence in every aspect.
There was a field combat exercise, and the students had to be fully armed. Carrying dozens of kilograms of equipment and running, jumping, and jumping over obstacles is really not an easy task for the sixteen-year-old "gongzi brother", and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a crime. After practicing offense, defense, pursuit, retreat and other subjects, they also have to conduct wild camping and "stay overnight". It was midsummer, and mosquitoes were harassing me, making people extremely itchy after biting me. The sun was extremely poisonous, and my skin would peel off even if I was exposed to it on the martial arts training ground. Not to mention camping, even training, his hands, feet and face felt like cat bites, but Zhang Hanqing gritted his teeth and persisted. At dawn, the headquarters ordered to "transfer troops" to the provincial capital. There were many laggards, and even some old troops were not included. But Zhang Hanqing not only did not fall behind, but also helped other students complete the exercise.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the way, Zhang Hanqing won the respect of all personnel, including veterans and recruits: This young marshal is not simple, he is indeed a tiger father without a dog son!
Of course, the young marshal's affinity is an important factor in winning the unity of the people. Without him, there are very few high-ranking cadres who can put down their airs and mingle with the masses these days. Zhang Hanqing usually studies very hard in the martial arts hall. He consciously abides by the school rules, respects the instructors, unites his classmates, trains hard, and never specializes. Therefore, one month after entering the school, Zhang Hanqing was appointed monitor because of his outstanding performance.
Zhang Hanqing cherished this squad leader very much, because he earned it through his own ability in the military, and it was far from comparable to the rank of Major Assistant. After becoming the squad leader, he created two breakthroughs, which later laid the foundation for Fengjun to become a model for the modern Chinese army.
The first is to promote an infantry team assault tactic called the "three-three system." The squad is divided into three combat groups, led by the squad leader, deputy squad leader, and team leader. Each combat group has three people to support each other during wartime.
The three combat groups are in an arrow-head attack formation. Each soldier has a clear division of labor: attack-cover-support. During the operation, three soldiers formed a combat group, with two soldiers in front and the team leader behind, forming a triangular formation. Three combat groups form a combat squad, which is deployed in a "skirmishing line" formation. When the combat squad is deployed, the soldiers change combat formations at any time according to the instructions of the group leader or squad leader.
Although it seems like a small move, it is an epoch-making leap. You must know that the "three-three system" tactic first originated during the Anti-Japanese War, matured in the War of Liberation, and was widely used in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. It has been tempered many times.
In this era, the strongest armies of the world's powerful countries are still taking the line infantry tactics to the extreme on the European battlefield. This so-called "queue to shoot" tactic reached its peak in the Battle of the Somme. The crossfire composed of German heavy machine guns overturned 60,000 British and French troops in one day, and countless British nobles who had the tradition of leading charges were beaten to death. From then on, there was no large-scale linear charge on the stage of land warfare.
But in China, it will take a long time for the all-encompassing attack to be launched. Now, Zhang Hanqing is just taking out things from more than 20 years ago in advance. But experts will know when they take action. When Zhang Hanqing led his squad to withstand the attack of an opponent's platoon during a drill confrontation and calmly withdrew, the senior officials of the 27th Division who were watching were moved.
Subsequent research on this tactic showed that it could even be called an epoch-making initiative. Although compared with the West and even Westerners, shortcomings in weapon configuration limit the achievements of the Chinese army in terms of firepower, in terms of improving grassroots combat effectiveness, it is undoubtedly able to take the lead in this era.
In recognition of Zhang Hanqing's achievements, this tactic was later named "Zhang's Tactics". Zhang Zuolin personally made the decision to promote this "Zhang's Tactics" to all 27 divisions and became the foot soldier of Fengtian Lecture Hall.One of the standard tactical actions for soldier training. Soon after, the "three-three system" infantry platoon tactics derived from this and based on the squad combat team also became popular throughout the army. A simple tactical innovation made the control range of an ordinary platoon reach 800 meters. Feng Jun The combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.
No one doubts that Zhang Hanqing, a young military cadet with insufficient schooling age, has never experienced war. How could he create something so militarized and close to actual combat behind closed doors? Some people inevitably thought that this was something Zhang Zuolin wanted to praise his eldest son and give it to him privately. After all, with Lao Zhang's military experience, he might be able to create such a thing.
But Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang and others all understood that Lao Zhang could fight fiercely and play political tricks, but there were still some shortcomings in developing such a systematic thing. They had followed Dashuai Zhang for half their lives, and they had never seen Lao Zhang have such superb insights on troop formation. Zhang Hanqing has always been smart, studious and diligent in using his brain. Maybe he came up with it in a flash of inspiration. As Zhang Zuolin's loyal supporters, they advocated for Zhang Hanqing on various occasions and created an aura for Zhang Hanqing as a general.
Zhang Hanqing would not be complacent about this small achievement. The praise from his uncles, Sun and Zhang, only made it reasonable for him to go further after graduating from the military academy. But as a soldier, especially a young marshal who will be in charge of thousands of troops in the future - he has no doubt that he will eventually To take on this responsibility, the most important thing is how to surround him with a large number of capable officers loyally. The officers and student soldiers in the martial arts hall are potential forces.
What do soldiers admire most? Except for some fake soldiers, what they admire most are the real soldiers who are more soldiers than they are! Not only can he take the lead, but he also has extraordinary abilities. After several months of hard work on the training ground, he has already formed an impact on his personality and strength; the emergence of "Zhang's Tactics" shows his ability that is different from ordinary people. If this ability continues to be developed, he is destined to become the center of attention.
?In fact, that is exactly what happened. Zhang Hanqing first did not defend himself, and secondly did not sleep on his credit book. He continued to perform the duties of a military academy cadet. Through wind and rain, he led his infantry squad to continue his glory. In addition to his excellent military skills, his class has become a model in terms of political ideology and internal affairs management.
Moreover, Zhang Hanqing is more and more noticed by the people of the Lecture Hall. He can eat hard and suffer.
The project that best reflects his advantages is in the examination. He ranks absolutely first in every examination, whether it is military knowledge, military geography, tactical basics, formation command, etc. In short, if someone sums up the virtues of military students in this era, This young marshal is definitely a role model for soldiers and a pacesetter among students.
Of course, the reason he ranked first in the martial arts exam was not due to his military attainments or abilities. With his sixteen-year-old age and completely blank military experience, even if he was a time traveler, his knowledge of the military should not be overestimated. The grasp of literacy. After all, this cannot happen overnight. In fact, at that time, most of the students in the martial arts hall were people in the military. Their knowledge, ability, understanding and vision were indeed quite different from this modern person. As the saying goes, "the cripples choose generals." Of course, we should also add that Zhang Hanqing himself worked really hard in the Wushu Hall.
The biggest impression of Zhang Hanqing is that he is able to let instructors who train military strategy and tactics see his vision of victory thousands of miles away and refreshing military viewpoints on various occasions: modern warfare is about logistics and comprehensive national strength. ; Large depth and high mobility are the highlights of future wars; when hypothetically becoming an enemy of Japan, the relatively weak China only needs to use space to buy time, so that it can use the theory of "protracted war" to deal with the powerful Japanese army at this stage; encounter on a narrow road The spirit of the sword that the brave wins can also make a weak army strong in a short period of time, etc. It makes people wonder whether he got the instructor's "little Zao" to fulfill his desire for expression, but it is well known that currently within Fengjun, there is no instructor who has such advanced military thinking.
So he got first place in the first exam, and got first place in the second exam
"It is mediocre to be envied by others." There was some turmoil in the school at that time, and suddenly there were rumors that someone was cheating on the exam. The instructor asked Zhang Hanqing to switch seats with others, but his grades were still very good. There were almost a hundred people in the first two education classes. One day the teacher asked four questions. As a result, no one except Zhang Hanqing answered them completely.
If you are a little better than others, others will be jealous or slander you; but when the gap between you and others is not of the same magnitude, others will only admire you. After Zhang Hanqing experienced the transformation from jealousy to admiration, he deeply realized that this statement was indeed true. When a person is better than you and can compete with others but still works harder than you, what else can you do besides being a bitch? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 130 On Protracted War

In the martial arts hall, Zhang Hanqing showed his sharpness in both civil and military projects.
Zhang Zuolin has always taken Zhang Hanqing's abnormal behavior seriously. Unexpectedly, Xiao Liuzi not only kept his word, but also greatly brought glory to his father's face. In the past, asking him to "be the leader of a group after graduation" was just a joke and motivation. Now we really need to consider how to operate it in order to actually teach him a group leader
And Zhang Hanqing has already become famous, and around him, a young group headed by him gradually formed. Of course, power is out of the question now.
“In the army, there is no one who can’t play well. In fact, it is the same in every industry, especially in the Republic of China. Even at Peking University, where Zhang Hanqing stayed, there was a very strong unhealthy trend, the so-called "ten brothers".
What's the meaning? Ten like-minded students became sworn brothers. After graduation, they all worked to become officials. Whoever got the higher official position would have the other nine people work for him as section chiefs or secretaries, and they would get a full official position and "share the blessings." If the official was bought from a warlord or a big bureaucrat, then the training fee would be shared among ten people.
The atmosphere in the army is even worse. Since Zhang Zuolin started his career, his sworn brotherhood has been constantly updated with every strength of the Fengtian army. Now, with his eldest son by his side, no one would believe it if no one tried to get close to Zhang Hanqing with the idea of ??"sharing the blessings" in the future.
But Zhang Hanqing has lofty ambitions. He hates these old habits and old officers from the bottom of his heart: they advance with great success when the wind is going smoothly, but when the situation is unfavorable, there are many who are on both ends and even turn against the enemy. What he wants are real soldiers and officers: those who have new ideas to arm their minds, regard the honor of the military as their life, and can keep up with the development of the times, especially those who can keep up with his footsteps.
Needless to say, it goes without saying that it is much more difficult to transform the old officers who have followed Zhang Zuolin for a long time than to train a new person, and Zhang Hanqing is not prepared to poach his father. Nothing else, for this, he has already made arrangements in advance.
A large number of student troops entered the school, bringing vitality to the Martial Arts Hall. These quasi-soldiers, who have never been on the battlefield and have never even seen a gun before, will definitely make people look at them once they break out. Zhang Hanqing is just an outstanding example among them, but besides him, there are many others who are working hard to make progress.
Wang Yizhe is one. After he was successfully fooled into the army by Zhang Hanqing last year, he has always shown the vitality of a passionate young man. He is even often praised by old-fashioned military officers as a good young man who can lead troops. If Zhang Hanqing's character hadn't exploded, he would have been the absolute celebrity here.
One day in early July, during lunch break, Zhang Hanqing was chatting with a few "fans" who were also hard-line angry youths against Japan. A burly middle-aged instructor approached the group with his hands behind his back.
After seeing the visitor, the students who were originally in a relaxed state immediately greeted his eyes with full enthusiasm. This atmosphere immediately made Zhang Hanqing feel that the visitor was extraordinary. Deliberately showing his courtesy, he gave a very standard military salute and said loudly: "Gunner Zhang Hanqing, please give me a lecture from the instructor!"
The visitor returned the gift and said with a smile: "I heard that you have a protracted war view and think Japan is not terrible?"
The reason why Zhang Hanqing came up with this argument is because the fear of Japan in this era has reached an unbearable level: Japan violated the treaty in Northeast China - the infamous "Japan-Russia Treaty of Portsmouth" and occupied the Northeast. Far more than thirty kilometers away from the South Manchuria Railway, interference in various domestic and foreign policy provisions of China has become commonplace. No matter from the central government to the local authorities or even within the Fengjun Army, they all believe that if China and Japan start a war, China will definitely lose, let alone the remote Northeast. This creates a strange circle: the more China fears Japan, the more arrogant Japan becomes; the more arrogant Japan becomes, the more China fears.
Many times, this fear is the real enemy, which will seriously affect the morale of the army and the perception of the people, thus creating more threats, seriously affecting strategic judgment, battlefield execution and courage leading to a vicious cycle, so that in Domestically, there is a strong sentiment of "Japanese fear" and the theory that "China and Japan will lose in war." It is estimated that the reason for the prevalence of traitors in China during the Anti-Japanese War is not only because some people are naturally mean-spirited, but also has something to do with this argument about failure: there is no future, no hope, why fight!
Therefore, he decided to discuss the classic doctrine of the Communist Party of China 20 years in advance to the officers on various occasions. He was using his own power to shake the entire tree. After communicating with General Cai for so long, this theory began to become more and more precise.
When the instructor came to ask, Zhang Hanqing did not hesitate. Even if they don't say it, you still have to try to instill your own views into them so that you can teach them and inform more people. He tightened his words and restated the theory of protracted war more accurately:
 "Yes. Xueliang believes that not only is Japan not scary, but what they are afraid of is us. On the surface, China is in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal status, and is still a weak country. In terms of military, economic and political organizational strength, China They appear inferior to the Japanese in all aspects - at this point, Japan is first-class in the East and one of the five or six famous powers in the world. There is no doubt about this. Therefore, at this stage, this constitutes China's The inability to win quickly also constitutes the basic condition for Japan to have the opportunity to launch a war of aggression.
But China is a country that is rising rapidly. China has a tradition of longing for reunification. As long as it can truly complete a country in the modern sense at this stage, it can arouse the unity of the whole country. At the same time, because China is a very big country with a large territory and With vast resources, large numbers of people, and large numbers of soldiers, they can support a long-term war. It is true that China is not ready for a war with Japan, but Japan is not ready either. He does not have enough troops to occupy a place as large as China in the short term. Soon after the war in Europe is about to end, there will be a good opportunity for peaceful development. As long as China seizes this rare opportunity to complete its reunification and integrate its resources and industrial power, the Chinese people will have enough confidence and courage to meet the challenge. China will become increasingly prosperous. It will make it increasingly difficult for Japan to have the courage to fully resist. Given time, time is on China's side. This is exchanging space for time, which is the meaning of a protracted war. "
"Thousands of words can be translated into one sentence: China has a solution."
There was a hint of eagerness in the eyes of the middle-aged instructor. With his eyesight, he had also thought about this argument in private, but Zhang Hanqing analyzed it so uniquely. Although he didn't say anything, Zhang Hanqing still read the "insightful" meaning from his eyes.
But for just a moment, the middle-aged instructor regained his serious demeanor and asked as if naturally: "According to your opinion, isn't China a unified country?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 131 Asking

This question is somewhat interesting.
As we all know, after the founding of the Republic of China, the Western world, mainly Europe and the United States, quickly recognized its legitimacy. It's not that they have good intentions, but that they believe that an "organized" China will make it easier for them to obtain greater economic benefits, just like the Empress Dowager Cixi who went to war with the Eight Powers but still obtained "understanding" from the Eight Power Allied Forces after the war.
But in any case, the Republic of China is already a country in the full sense: it has a president, a parliament (although it is more formal), a national defense force that occupies a dominant position - the Beiyang Army, and a military force that commands the submission of all parties. Government|Government.
Even after the farce of Emperor Hong Xian, the successors President Li Yuanhong and Prime Minister Duan Qirui still restored the name of the Beiyang Government. However, the group of Beiyang warlords who were originally tied together by Yuan Shikai have gradually divided into many individual investors, and the split between the two major factions of Zhizhi and Anhui has emerged.
Considering that all parties were in unison against Yuan, Sun Yixian had the opportunity to set up another military government to protect the country in Guangdong, and Cai E's Yunnan National Guard Army was de facto independent. But in name, the Republic of China is still a country. What everyone is protesting is that Lao Yuan proclaimed himself emperor instead of establishing a new central government. This point is not objectionable by all parties at home and abroad. The instructor's words seemed to test his country's overall situation.
Zhang Hanqing is confident: "The so-called modern countries, without exception, have independent foreign affairs, judiciary, customs and territorial integrity. China is far behind in this regard - weak countries have no diplomacy, no independent judiciary, and customs are all there. Under the control of the British, the management of the central government in the southwest and northwest areas was beyond its reach. Even within the Beiyang Army, military power was mostly concentrated in the hands of provincial governors. At critical times, the central government still had to look at the governors if it wanted to mobilize troops. Li's expression showed that the military power was not completely unified.
If a country cannot achieve the unification of political and military orders internally, it cannot be a country in the full sense. Just like the relationship between the princes and the Emperor of Zhou, during the period when the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was called a country, there were two major periods: the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. era. The Emperor Zhou was nominally the supreme ruler of China at that time, but his words could not get out of Luoyi. The modern Republic of China has the same story, and its performance is obvious to all - since the founding of the Republic of China, each province has been a de facto independent military and political system. The current system of the Republic of China is neither a federation, a confederacy, nor a republic, but a republic. It is a collection of warlords from all walks of life. Taking the Northeast alone as an example, it is beyond the reach of the central government, but the three provinces also have their own jurisdiction. Take Feng Province as an example, although Governor Zhang is the governor appointed by the Central Committee, there are also the 28th Division of Assistant Feng who are detached from Fengtian and seem to be fighting against each other.
Externally, it was surrounded by great powers, and the country was weak because of the loss of territory by the Manchu Qing government. The great powers even took the opportunity to carve up our country. In the future, there will inevitably be an upsurge in supporting puppets of all parties in various places. With China's strength, a major war is indispensable to prevent foreign powers from interfering in our internal affairs. However, with China’s current strength, it is difficult.
So I say that China is far from being a unified country, and there is still a long way to go before it is unified. However, China has a tradition that "it must be divided for a long time, and it must be united for a long time." The road is long and long, and I will search up and down. The day of true reunification will definitely come, I firmly believe. "In public, he usually addresses his father Zhang Zuolin as Governor Zhang.
The middle-aged instructor's admiration became thicker, but he then asked: "Insightful. In your opinion, who will finally complete the task of unifying China? Premier Duan, Vice President Xu? Or is it Mr. Sun's power?" "
Zhang Hanqing secretly spit in his heart. This is common sense that even elementary school students understand in the upper world. He said with confidence: "Xu Shichang's family is short-sighted, and Duan Qirui's family is self-respecting, but it is difficult for them to achieve great things. Mr. Sun Yat-sen's current policy is still at a vague stage, and has not yet been able to unite the vast majority of the Chinese people. At this stage, it is impossible for anyone to take on the great task of unifying China. Who will ultimately complete the great cause of unifying China? There will always be twists and turns as the situation changes, but I believe that if there are virtuous people, there will always be a force that emerges. As long as it Being able to represent the voice of China and grasp the pulse of the times, what difference does it make in the end which faction you belong to?"
But he shouted in his heart: "What you didn't expect is that the Feng clan will occupy a place in China's political arena soon, and because of my existence, who else can unify China!" It is a pity that his ambition can only be deeply rooted. Buried in the bottom of my heart, otherwise I will be regarded as a lunatic first - in the current Feng system, I don't even know where to open the door.
The middle-aged instructor asked: "What do you mean by the vagueness of Sun Yat-sen's policy?"
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "Mr. Sun Yixian is a visionary leader, but he can't stand alone. In order to achieve his personal political goals and intentions, he did not hesitate to establish a new founding outside the Kuomintang and reorganized the Chinese Revolutionary Party. However, the Chinese Revolutionary Party in order to restrain party members and Control the organization, not only using gang secrets?The method of association also requires party members to be absolutely loyal to Sun Yat-sen personally and take an oath by pressing a hand mold, and citizens are divided into grades according to the time they joined the party and enjoy different treatment. It is said that an oath must be filled out in the party constitution, which contains language similar to the underworld, "I will always abide by this agreement until death. If I have second thoughts, I will be willing to accept the death penalty." Looking only at its internal organization, the Chinese Revolutionary Party is more like a gang-like organization than a revolutionary political party. joke! It was childish for him to think that politicians could be loyal by taking an oath! Is this an underworld or a political party revolution?
No wonder revolutionary heroes like Huang Xing refused to participate. Some Kuomintang members who were in exile in Japan also rejected this idea. Important figures in the original Tongmenghui such as Li Liejun, Bai Wenwei, Tan Renfeng, etc. did not join. This makes his power greatly weakened and reduces the ruling base of the Chinese Revolutionary Party - not that this is wrong, but that the current Chinese Revolutionary Party is a mixed bag and has formed a trend of being too big to lose. Mr. Sun, whose political power comes from the barrel of a gun and has no military power at all, is still far away from unifying China.
"If you don't believe it, General Cai of Southwest China has raised the banner of anti-Yuan. What is the Chinese Revolutionary Party doing?" I only heard that several unsuccessful armed uprisings and assassinations were organized in the country. Can a secret organization with a few hundred people in total be able to shoulder the important task of leading the Chinese revolution? Take a look at modern history. Which revolutionary regime relied on assassination to win power?
Since the day of its birth, the Kuomintang has been divided among its members: first, Song Jiaoren was assassinated for no apparent reason, and then Chen Qimei assassinated Zheng Rucheng. The former has become a doubtful case, but from the point of view of who benefits and who is doubtful, I do not want to speculate; the latter is a revolutionary rebellion against the Yuan government, which can be discussed separately. But ten days after the revolutionary army captured Nanjing, Chen Qimei shot dead Tao Junbao, the chief of staff of the civilian army, who was visiting him in the governor's house of the Shanghai Army. In order to win the governor of Zhejiang, he assassinated Tao Chengzhang, the leader of the Restoration Association. Then Yuan Shikai sent his personal bodyguard Yuan Jiliang to assassinate Chen in his house. Chen Qimei. Isn't it a huge irony that Yuan Shikai is still the president despite the internal killings within the Kuomintang? "
This is the truth.
Sun Yat-sen's original strength was indeed limited: after the Revolution of 1911, the main military support in most provinces was the regiment training and new armies from various places, or some overseas Chinese and members of Hongmen and its Ge Laohui. In terms of equipment and the quality of soldiers, None of them could compete with the Beiyang Army, the main force of the Qing Dynasty. In addition, since Sun Yat-sen did not actually participate in the revolutionary war, the revolutionary forces in each province launched their own leaders one after another, making the revolutionary forces appear like a multi-headed carriage. As for the Wuchang Uprising in 1911, it was jointly planned by the Gongjinhui and the Hubei New Army Revolutionary Group Literary Society, and it was even just an accidental gunfire incident. At that time, Sun Yat-sen was still working in a friend's restaurant in Denver, Colorado, USA, and had no knowledge of the revolution. Therefore, Sun Yat-sen said: "The success of Wuchang was achieved by accident."
This made his prestige within the Kuomintang even lower than that of Huang Xing. Even Morrison, a foreign journalist known as a "China expert" and the senior China special writer of the British "Times", said in public reports that he was "semi- "Chinese" - meaning people who know little about their own country, and denounced Sun Yat-sen: "Revolutionary prestige comes from bragging."
Yuan Shikai was not the only one who believed that Sun Wen did not understand China's national conditions at that time. Zhang Jian once said: "(Sun Wen) The gradual changes in China's territory, customs, and political power due to revolutions and gains and losses over the past four to five thousand years are not fully understood because of many years of traveling abroad, and the origins of political customs in various countries are constantly changing. In times of crisis, there is no time to integrate them all.”
Li Yuanhong believes: "The world has a wrong understanding of Sun Yat-senSun Yat-sen has been away from China for a long time and has no connection with any forces here. He is very famous abroad, so he seems to be suitable for this position. I have never heard that he is interested in the revolution. Has provided any substantial help at work. His reputation is largely fictitious"
Now Sun Yat-sen is still in Shanghai. Not long ago, he published a hollow and weak article "Declaration of Crusade against Yuan Shikai" against Yuan Shikai, and he doesn't know where he is going. At this time, the political force represented by Sun Yat-sen is no longer the protagonist, and it is inevitable that the Chinese Revolutionary Party is a factor in political failure. Perhaps this made him repent, and the Chinese Revolutionary Party was reorganized into the Chinese Kuomintang a few years later.
The subsequent changes in history are one thing, provided that Zhang Hanqing is not around.
The middle-aged instructor's obviously gloomy expression made Zhang Hanqing feel that this person might have some connection with Sun Yat-sen, or at least be a sympathizer or admirer. In an era of obvious factional barriers, this obvious tendency is invisible to most regimes. However, Zhang Hanqing's vision has already surpassed this stage, and he is somewhat interested in this person.
"Obviously, this man is upright, far from the sloppy and cunning typical of some veteran gangsters. There was a patch on the shoulder of the military uniform, and the entire uniform looked a little white. It was obviously an old uniform that had been starched for a long time, but it still looked very powerful. Generally speaking, if middle and upper-level officers can still maintain such simplicity, they must be very rigorous in their conduct. As a result, Zhang Hanqing's favor suddenly increased.

The conversation between the two attracted many onlookers, and Zhang Hanqing was also full of energy. He regarded this group of people as his performance stage and continued to talk: "However, this does not mean that unification of China is far away. At least, in Fengtian, our 27th Division is qualified and capable to complete the great task of unifying Northeast China. . We are united, and the higher-ups also have the foresight to enhance the quality of soldiers and officers, as evidenced by the reopening of the martial arts hall. As long as the people are fully mobilized and the power gradually grows, depending on the situation, we can advance to win the title within the pass, and retreat to protect ourselves. The main task at the moment is Under the generally peaceful situation, we should reserve more talents, develop industry and economy, and improve people's livelihood to provide sufficient guarantee for the future development of Fengjun."
The middle-aged instructor asked: "Even if Fengjun becomes stronger in the future, it will be just another pole away from the Beiyang system. How can it unify China?"
Zhang Hanqing said without hesitation: "We will use the Northeast as a base to carry out an unprecedented revolution. This revolution is completely different from what the above-mentioned factions have done. We can fully agitate farmers and intellectuals, strengthen workers' power, and unite by building a revolutionary party. All people who can unite to complete the great revolution in ideology and system. Our Northeast has vast and fertile land, a large number of people, and the best industrial foundation and resources in China. This is the best way to carry out large-scale economic construction. place. In addition, we also need to build a new type of army that can truly gain the support of the people. As long as we stick together and strive to maintain foreign relations with all parties that are neither humble nor overbearing, as long as we have stability for ten years, I believe that Northeast China will be the largest army. strength."
The middle-aged instructor continued to ask: "What do you mean by the new army? As far as I know, if the army training in Beiyang started, the new army has appeared at least three times in China?"
Zhang Hanqing is familiar with his family treasures: "In the past, various armies only trained their souls but not their souls. Soldiers only knew how to obey their superiors but did not understand their missions. They often became private soldiers and thugs of politicians. My ideal army is The highest belief is to protect the homeland and the country, to be proud of dedicating oneself to the country, and to be ashamed of losing one's masters; to be proud to serve the people, and to be ashamed to harass the people; to be proud of civilization and culture, and to be ashamed of ignorance"
It was so smooth that I almost brought out the "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces". So he swallowed his saliva, dropped the topic, and concluded: "The army I want to build is a new army with officers and soldiers integrated, with faith and discipline."
The middle-aged instructor nodded, and then asked: "But Marshal, in the future, I mean if there is a military conflict between Feng Jun and Mr. Sun, what chance does Marshal think we have of winning?"
Zhang Hanqing has been sensitively aware that this person has a certain relationship with Sun Yat-sen. His question was also clever, but it was actually a trap. However, he said sincerely: "Mr. Sun Yat-sen has been exploring the principles of saving the country and the people. I deeply admire his state of 'the world is for the public', but I am not optimistic about his future. The current Kuomintang is like a tree without roots. Living in Guangdong. Although the banner is loud, every revolution can only act as a drummer waving the flag and shouting, but has no power to make subversive changes. Even Mr. Sun himself is only used or used as a tiger skin to pull the banner. Even local businessmen in Guangdong do not agree with his policy of nation-building."
This is the truth, and it is also a strange thing that has not been mentioned or explained in various textbooks. It is probably due to the Spring and Autumn Writing Techniques implemented due to the reputation of the "Father of the Nation" and "for the sake of respect": Most of the funds required for Sun Yat-sen's revolution were Overseas Chinese were recruited from overseas, but at home, even in Guangdong, the base camp of the National Revolution, the Kuomintang was not favored by the powerful Guangzhou business group. As for the later collusion between the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium, the material base of the Kuomintang, this was a new situation that was only opened up in the Chiang Kai-shek era.
When the business community participated in the Revolution of 1911, the immediate requirement was to avoid turmoil so that they could operate with peace of mind. The long-term requirement was for China to become independent and prosperous and free from foreign control and suppression. The government formulated and implemented policies to protect and support the development of industry and commerce. At the beginning, most of them had high hopes for the revolution and even gave them strong support. But in the end they grew disillusioned. Later, on November 19, 1917, Shanghai's "Republic of China Daily" published a message jointly sent by Shanghai businessmen to Sun Yat-sen, with the theme of hoping for an armistice between the North and the South. For Sun Yat-sen, this was just one of many messages he received. At that time, most Chinese capitalists lacked foresight, and the revolutionary party members lacked in-depth cooperation and close contact with them. If their immediate interests were damaged, they would alienate and complain about the revolutionary party. Their attitude towards the revolutionary party finally changed from support to opposition.
Historically, Sun Yat-sen's power has always been tepid, which is closely related to his delay in receiving financial assistance. Another very important factor that no one mentions is that compared to the Republic of China government recognized by all countries, the Kuomintang regime has always been "illegal" in a broad sense.
The Kuomintang is on stage?, it is necessary to raise the banner of the founding father; the Communist Party cannot obliterate his efforts, and it is also for the need of united front, so in many things, they invariably carry out "taboos for the venerable". Therefore, the education we receive now greatly exalts his role. In fact, in the minds of people at the time, he was just one of many revolutionaries, or in other words, he was also a warlord.
“But the person in front of me is inextricably related to Sun Yat-sen, or at least he is a loyal fan of Sun Yat-sen. You should be very careful when answering this kind of question. However, Zhang Hanqing already had an idea of ??this: "Theoretically, the great revolution we are about to carry out is similar to Mr. Sun's 'San Pan Cooking Righteousness' revolution, but we can gain real support from workers and peasants because we will start from the bottom up. It's not that 'San Pan Bo Yi' is empty and empty and only falls on paper; our advantage over Mr. Sun is that we have our own territory and can fully guarantee our ideas.
As for whether military conflicts will occur in the future, this assumption is still far away. Talking about it now is really unfounded. In my mind, Sun Yat-sen is the natural head of state of the Republic of China. If that day comes, I will do my best to make Mr. Feng Junwei Sun obey. "
The middle-aged instructor's brows widened. He stretched out his hand and said to Zhang Hanqing: "Well said, Young Marshal. I, Guo Songling, am willing to help the Young Marshal achieve his ideals, even if there is an abyss ahead."
"Guo Songling?" Zhang Hanqing was surprised. "Guo Guizi?" He asked subconsciously, "That shouldn't be the case. Why is he here?"
"Huh?" Guo Songling was very confused. Who gave me this nickname behind my back? Even the Major General knows!
Speaking of which, this nickname is indeed worthy of his name. Guo Songling in official history was tall and straight, and his daily life was very simple. At that time, the generals of the Fengjun army all wore fine-quality cloth uniforms. Except for soldiers, they were also worn by White Russian soldiers (the old Russian army expelled by the October Revolution has always been called Russian devils, editor's note). Because he wore a cloth military uniform and looked as tall as a White Russian soldier, he didn't know who called him this nickname, and it became popular, so he didn't feel dissatisfied.
Zhang Hanqing can remember this nickname only because he watched the TV series. Well, he was misled He can't call him "Guo Guizi" yet.
It is said that Guo Songling is a descendant of Guo Ziyi, the prince of Fenyang County in the Tang Dynasty. He was admitted to the Beijing General Academy Research Institute in the first year of the Republic of China and the Army University in the second year of the Republic of China. If nothing goes wrong, he will work as an instructor at the Beijing Martial Arts Hall after graduation, and then defect to Sun Yat-sen when he forms the Dharma Protector Army the following year. Only when the Dharma Protector Movement failed did he have to return to Fengtian and teach in the Martial Arts Lecture Hall in the three eastern provinces. Served as tactical instructor.
Zhang Xueliang happened to be studying here. He personally felt that Instructor Guo stayed away from sensuality, was honest and upright, was rigorous in running the army, and had clear rewards and punishments for his subordinates. Zhang Xueliang greatly admired his profound knowledge and noble and refined character. Guo Songling is a unique person among Fengjun generals. He received a systematic education from Beijing Army University, joined the Tongmenghui, met Sun Yat-sen twice in Guangzhou and Tianjin, and was deeply influenced by his revolutionary thoughts. Although he is 19 years older than Zhang Xueliang, the two have become sworn friends. Later, because he was dissatisfied with Zhang Zuolin's behavior of expanding the army to prepare for war and seizing territory, with the support of his wife, he determined to accumulate power, overthrow the warlords, rectify the Feng army, and prepare to return the power to Zhang Xueliang, who had the thoughts of war.
Originally, his life should not have seen Zhang Hanqing so soon, but because of the latter's arrival, his life took a turn early.
Because it was Zhang Hanqing who instigated Zhang Zuolin to prepare the 27th Division Lecture Hall in advance. With Lao Zhang’s connections between the DPRK and China, strong local concepts and huge investment, some students from the provinces at Army University were invited to return to their hometown to serve as instructors. Guo Songling was one of them.
It is undeniable that Lao Zhang's reputation is not false. He either doesn't do anything about the martial arts hall, but makes a big deal when he does it: the dean receives 300 yuan per month, the instructor of each subject receives 200 yuan, and the teacher receives 150 yuan.
What level of treatment is this? For reference, a Fengjun soldier's monthly military salary at that time was 2 yuan, and a piece of Feng Dayang could buy 10 kilograms of pork. It can be seen that the instructors had a real golden income! There must be brave men under heavy rewards, so it is understandable that the 27th Division's martial arts lecture hall is in full swing. It is also reasonable to recruit many teachers and graduates from Army University and Baoding Army School——many people join the army just for Money!
Anyway, after the time-travelling Zhang Hanqing was born, he slightly changed his own destiny, and also slightly adjusted the life trajectories of those around him. This is the principle of the butterfly effect. Anyway, Guo Songling met him in advance, so there were less fluctuations in thoughts and more emotions in adversity.
Knowing that he was the famous tactical instructor Guo Songling, Zhang Hanqing was very pleased to have his loyalty. The preparations for the Guard Brigade were imminent. On this occasion, it was God's will to get help from Guo Songling, he thought. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)vel.com
Chapter 133 Direct Lineage

Zhang Hanqing was very aware of this man's ability in history. Although he was dissatisfied with Zhang Zuolin's attack on the National Army, he betrayed the Feng faction and rebelled. He was later captured and executed because he was outnumbered and defeated. However, with the strength of 70,000 people, Zhang Zuolin was beaten to the point where he wanted to "arrange the peace talks on going to the field and prepare to flee to Dalian. He also transported more than ten cars of gasoline and firewood and filled the front and back of the building, ready to attack the Marshal's Mansion at any time." "Burn it on fire" shows his strong ability to use troops. However, the joint attack by the Japanese, Zhang Zuolin, Wu Junsheng and others ultimately failed, and both the couple were shot.
As a loyal person like him who is willing to risk his life to fight for the country, under Zhang Hanqing's ideal of unifying the country, he should never have any intention of rebellion in this time and space. Guo Songling is a versatile person who can lead troops and engage in political work. Wen Nengwu is such a good player!
When the two met each other, they felt sympathy for each other.
Guo Songling still had more to say. Seeing more and more students gathered around her, she felt unhappy about saying something that had been hidden deep in her heart for many years. He kindly invited Zhang Hanqing to sit in his humble home, and Zhang Hanqing happily accepted the invitation.
Zhang Hanqing’s academic performance is the best, he is a young marshal, and he is arranged by the instructor, so he might as well leave the martial arts hall freely at noon.
Guo Songling's home is in a west wing of Shuiweishi Hutong in Dadongguan. It seems that she lives a very simple life. It is not an exaggeration to describe the home as bare walls. I heard that it is a rented house, which is extremely incompatible with the status of the couple. , also touched Zhang Hanqing a lot. Doesn’t he receive so much salary every month? What’s the matter?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the blue is really rare and rare, and the fact that he is willing to live in this condition without forgetting national affairs can be believed in his loyalty to the country. To build a new type of army, only one who can share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers can be considered a good commander. At this point, Guo Songling is definitely qualified, Zhang Hanqing thought to himself. When you hire someone, you must make a serious recommendation to Zhang Zuolin. At least this knowledge of people will not escape him. I believe that as long as I try my best to be simple, Lao Guo must also try his best no matter what.
“I’ve heard that my sister-in-law is a heroine, and today I finally met her, which brings great joy to my life!” He flattered Guo Songling’s wife.
When talking about Guo Songling, we cannot fail to mention his wife Han Shuxiu. Han graduated from Fengtian Women's Normal School and served as a teacher at the affiliated elementary school. She joined the Fengtian YMCA when she was a student and actively participated in progressive activities. Her home was a stronghold for the activities. Han Shuxiu, who has always regarded the rise and fall of the country and nation as her own responsibility, has always been devoted to national education. She once tutored students in moral principles at the martial arts hall; the patriotic Yan Baohang founded a school for poor children, and she became a school director and taught personally. In order to raise funds for the opening of a school for poor children, Han Shuxiu appealed to the public and raised 20,000 yuan. At the same time, she also donated her own savings. In order to express their gratitude, the poor children, led by the principal, sent a plaque with the words "Promoting Education and Cultivating Talents" to her home. This plaque now hangs opposite the door of the main house.
After the Revolution of 1911 broke out, people of insight in Fengtian rose up one after another to respond to the Wuchang Uprising, and Guo Songling was one of the organizers. The two of them met at Han Shuxiu's home. Han Shuxiu admired Guo Songling's personality and talents very much. Guo Songling was arrested during the White Terror. The authorities issued a notice and sentenced Guo to death. Han Shuxiu carried out rescue activities everywhere. On December 25, 1912, when Guo Songling and others were being taken to the wilderness killing field outside Daximen for execution, Han Shuxiu took a copy of that day's "Shengjing Daily" and shouted: "Save someone under the knife!" Shiwan rushed in anxiously. Enter the court. It turned out that this newspaper had just written off the "Edict on the Abdication of the Qing Emperor". At the critical moment, Han Shuxiu saved the lives of Guo Songling and others with the news of the sudden change in the political situation. The two established a relationship in life and death and became a loving couple.
“A friend in need is a friend indeed, and their common ideals have made the couple’s relationship even stronger after many years of marriage. When she learned that the guest brought by her husband was actually a young marshal from the General's Mansion, Han Shuxiu was surprised - her husband was not a person who followed people's influence. She was even more surprised when she saw that her husband's enthusiasm was full of respect and solemnity.
"But after Zhang Hanqing had a small chat with Guo Songling, she knew that it was time to respect the young marshal in awe.
For the first time after time travel, I had a common language with someone else. Coincidentally, Guo Songling was also a master with great wisdom and ideas, and Zhang Hanqing gave full play to it. He systematically connected the experience and knowledge from his previous life, analyzed in detail the attitudes of Japan, Europe and the United States towards China and the direction of the international situation in the next 10 years, and proposed his own response plan. Frankly speaking, talking on paper is the specialty of angry youths in the 21st century: they do not need to deal with trivial and specific matters in depth, but they can also calmly use the perspective of experienced people to look at phenomena that people at the time could not see through. In addition, the person next to them can also be regarded as It was a master-level figure who would be a famous general of the future generation, and it was so satisfying to be stunned for a moment.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Guo Songling’s meeting, was regrettable. He prides himself on his knowledge, is a talented person who strategizes on the battlefield, but he condescends to be a "teacher" who talks all day long in Fengtian Martial Arts Hall. It is rare to meet a young commander with such ideals, culture, vision, and magnanimity as a newcomer with "four qualities". The feeling of gratitude and repayment comes from knowing what you encounter.
Zhang Hanqing knows the value of Guo Songling. Among the Northeastern Army, those who will be counted in the future will definitely be considered outstanding among them now. In the military aspect, it can be of great help to you. What is rare is that at present, Guo's loyalty is unquestionable, and this has been proven by history. Why not take such a talented person under his command?
Zhang Hanqing also showed great respect for Han Shuxiu. At the beginning of the Republic of China when women's status was still very low, there was such a woman who was thoughtful, visionary, and capable. What's more reliable is that she was Guo Songling's wife. For Zhang Hanqing, who lacks talents, he must seize every such character!
So, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
Therefore, the young marshal often talked with Guo and Han about the past and present, and discussed current affairs.
When Zhang Hanqing shared the idea of ??building a new Fengtian Army with Guo Songling, Guo Songling appreciated it very much and was willing to fully support it; when Zhang Hanqing came up with the idea of ??establishing the Fengtian Revolutionary Party and using it to lead the agrarian revolution, women's liberation movement and workers' movement in the Northeast, After confessing her love to Han Shuxiu, Han Shuxiu was so excited that she took the initiative to serve as one of the initiators of the party establishment and as a liaison for the young marshal, and planned to be responsible for the women's movement and trade union work in the future.
Under Zhang Hanqing's strong recommendation, Zhang Zuolin may have heard about it long ago, and Guo Songling was naturally promoted step by step with the help of the young marshal's banner. First he was promoted to a lieutenant colonel instructor, and then soon became a part-time and important senior staff officer in the general's palace.
I have to feel shallow on the paper, and I know that this matter must be done. Zhang Hanqing himself is practicing internal skills, but this does not prevent him from paying attention to the domestic situation. After Lao Yuan's funeral, the disputes between President Li Yuanhong and Prime Minister Duan Qirui on policy strategies began to emerge, and the crisis of Beiyang's secession began to emerge. In July, Zhang Xun, the patrol envoy of the Yangtze River and the governor of Anhui, issued an appeal to the provincial governors to prepare for a meeting of the governors' army in Xuzhou in September. He planned to use the power of local groups to put pressure on the central government and become a leader outside the Zhizhi and Anhui cliques. The "Third Pole".
This approach received immediate response, with all the provinces flirting with him, and even Zhang Zuolin decided to get involved as a governor. There is no way. With the current situation of strong stems and weak branches, if you want to make a breakthrough in the Northeast, you must have strong support. As for this military governor, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is similar to the "Southeast Joint Protection Force" back then.
Zhang Hanqing clearly knows the subsequent national trend. He can be his young commander happily without having to make any moves. Anyway, the rise of the Feng clique is a high probability event. But since we are traveling through time, do we have to be a spectator of the historical process? I know that "Destiny" is still working so hard in the martial arts hall, isn't it because I want to get a better result?
Gaining the hearts of the people cannot be achieved overnight, and building a strong army cannot be achieved in a short period of time. No matter how hard you train in the martial arts hall and no matter how good your grades are, it is not as meaningful as leading an army on your own. Now that there are many followers around me, if we continue to take over step by step like in the official history, the meaning of time travel will be greatly reduced. Now is the most turbulent era in the history of Beiyang, which is both a disaster and an opportunity.
Opportunities are around you.
??When I cooperated with Zhang Zuolin to defraud Yuan Shikai's arms and expand the new army by 10 battalions, because I hated Lao Yuan, I was never able to obtain an official designation from the Central Committee. I had no choice but to transform into Zhang Zuolin's bodyguard. Zhang Zuolin originally had a personal cavalry team of nearly a thousand people. With the addition of this new force, it became a huge team of 8,000 people. The full strength of the 27th Division was only 12,000 men. Such a large number of new troops immediately made the generals who were obsessed with soldiers smell the fishy position.
After Zhang Zuolin resigned as commander of the 27th Division, Sun Liechen succeeded him. Tang Yulin, who was also the brigade commander at the time, wanted to take over the team and then keep pace with Sun Liechen. However, Zhang Hanqing tried his best to obstruct it. He believed that Tang Yulin was extremely mentally unstable after being deprived of the power to control the provincial capital secret agent team. He had been in control of the 53rd Brigade for so many years, and it was very uneasy to hand over such an army to him again.
In fact, Zhang Hanqing has hidden selfish motives. He has long been eyeing this new army, and of course he does not want others to get involved. He proposed the idea of ??reorganizing a new army to Zhang Zuolin on more than one occasion, and often visited Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen to discuss army reorganization strategies with them. It was obvious that he wanted to show off his talents.
Before entering the martial arts hall, Zhang Zuolin encouraged him to give him a job as a regimental commander because he said he had done well. He did not want to be the regimental commander in the 27th Division. Without him, although the army was founded by his father, there were too many soldiers there, and the resistance to doing things according to his own ideas must be unusually high. The new army is basically uncontaminated from top to bottom, which is a good opportunity.
"If you place these middle- and lower-level officers who have passed the examination and are attached to you in the new army, firstly, it will make it easier for you to better control the army, and secondly, it will also send a strong signal to all parties: Believe in Han Qing, and you will have eternal life!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Placing it in the new army will, firstly, make it easier for you to better control the army, and secondly, it will also send a strong signal to all parties: Believe in Han Qing and you will have eternal life!

Chapter 134 Guards Brigade
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Zuolin also didn’t want Tang Yulin to take over the new army. Restraining his subordinates from each other has always been the only way to gain power. It's one thing to become a sworn brother, but if it threatens his status, I can't do it either.
The military governor of the Republic of China was also the division commander, otherwise there would be a danger of losing power. Zhang Zuolin was the first military governor to "voluntarily" resign as division commander. His confidence was firstly that he believed in the army he brought out, secondly that Sun Liechen, who took over, was his core supporter, and thirdly that he had this large number of new troops under his command. military.
If the establishment application cannot be approved, then the establishment will be artificially increased: the Guards and the Cavalry will be merged to form a new Guards Brigade. This name refers to the opinions of Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen, Zhang Hanqing and others. The titles related to "Guards" are relatively free and relatively concealed. Feng Delin from the same city has long been eyeing this army, so it's better not to over-stimulate him. Because there is no formal establishment, military expenditures can only be raised by oneself. Fengtian, which is relatively wealthy, is definitely more comfortable than Guangning. Although Feng Delin also wants to recruit a team outside the 28th Division, he can only pay for food and clothing. Make him bankrupt.
The Guard Brigade is Zhang Zuolin’s personal soldiers, and of course the person in charge must be a trusted and capable person. Originally, Zhang Zuolin wanted Zhang Zuoxiang to be the brigade commander because he was the only two most trustworthy generals under his command. However, Zhang Zuoxiang had just taken over the post of commander of the 54th Brigade left by Sun Liechen. It would be more sensitive to take this position again, but he declined politely and recommended Yu Zhen because he did not want to chill the heart of the old man Fengjun.
??Fengjun has two traditions since its establishment and later its growth: one is to respect the elderly, and the other is to succeed after the father dies. The former is actually an unspoken rule among bandits, which emphasizes that the one who starts first is the most important, otherwise everything will be in chaos - the heroes of Liangshan also pay attention to arranging seats. Yu Zhen was the original captain of Zhang Zuolin's cavalry, and was a veteran who followed Zhang Zuolin along with Sun Liechen, Tang Yulin, and Zhang Zuoxiang. However, his performance in leading troops in battle was far less outstanding than the latter few. However, he still worked conscientiously as the captain of the cavalry, and he was regarded as an honest man and a loyal elder. Sun, Tang, and Zhang were all in trouble, and now that the Guard had to leave this veteran behind after being upgraded, it would have a bad impact.
Zhang Zuolin agrees with this opinion. He is born with a beard, and he still cares about brotherly loyalty. He must at least take into account other people's thoughts. So he decided, thanks to Jean's promotion to Commander of the Guards Brigade.
Since the Guard Brigade was established, it was necessary to build a team, which involved some important personnel arrangements. Zhang Zuolin summoned Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang, and Yu Zhen to discuss: Should some people from the original Guard Cavalry be used as chief officers at all levels? Or transfer some middle-level personnel from the 27th Division?
Prime Minister Zhang Zuo was the first to start: "Fourth Brother, I have another idea about the team building of the Guard Brigade."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? By listening and at the same time being sensible. Zhang Zuolin is usually very paternalistic, but he can still put down his airs when it comes to listening to opinions, especially as a close confidant of Zhang Zuolin. He nodded: "Of course you have to say what you have in mind. I came here to ask you to help the Guard Brigade to check things up."
"Han Qing's performance in the Martial Arts Hall is obvious to all. From top to bottom, everyone thinks that he is a talented general who can lead troops. It is not an exaggeration to say that the eldest brother is actually a regiment commander now. But in the 27th Division, there is a seniority ranking. Those who Are the old battalion commanders and company commanders willing to accept his jurisdiction? With Han Qing’s nephew’s ability, starting from the grassroots level is really unfair to him. I think the eldest brother can just take advantage of the opportunity of the Guard Brigade to set up a stage and put Han Qing and others under his control. Push up.
The performance of the student army who joined the army was also outstanding. Of course, this was the credit of Han Qing's nephew and his connections. But have you ever thought about where they will go after graduation? Join the 27th Division? I'm afraid that if I can't stand the habits of those veterans, I'll lead them to bad ways, or maybe I won't be able to retain them. At present, the officers of the Guard Brigade are only assigned to the battalion level, and middle and lower-level officers are only assigned full-time positions. What I mean is that Big Brother might as well put these students into the Guard Brigade, enrich them at the grassroots level, and temporarily serve as deputy commanders and staff at all levels. It is also a kind of training. "
This is the first time that someone wants to support Zhang Hanqing's power, and it is officially proposed by Zhang Zuolin's general, which is surprising and natural.
Since time traveling, Zhang Hanqing has had great respect for this veteran who has dedicated his life to the cause of Fengxian. People’s hearts are full of flesh and blood. Of course, Zhang Zuoxiang must do his best to support him. For Zhang Zuoxiang, in addition to Zhang Hanqing's own ability and respect for him, there is another meaning in it. As a member of this generation who came out of the old society, he has a kind of ignorant loyalty to his elder brother Zhang Zuolin. After the father dies, the son succeeds. Everything about Zhang Zuolin will belong to Zhang Hanqing in the future. What’s wrong with cultivating his strength from now on!
Zhang Zuolin didn’t have much education, but he was not confused at all. At the beginning of the rise of the Feng Dynasty, he often described himself as Li Yuan and was dedicated to establishing the foundation of the "Zhang Family Dynasty". Everything he owns will belong to his son in the future. He has no worries that his son will monopolize power. He knows his own children well. He doesn't look likeIn history, some emperors were incompatible with their fathers and their sons, and the royal family was ruthless. Deep down, Lao Zhang is still a very down-to-earth person.
Zhang Zuolin has no objection to improving Naizi's status. Anyway, this is his own private army and he can do whatever he wants. And in this era of blatant fights for fathers, it is only normal for me to support my son. But even if he had the intention, he was still worried that Zhang Hanqing was still a bit young and might not be able to control the situation!
Zhang Hanqing has emerged in the ups and downs of the past six months. Regardless of his wit, knowledge, and courage, he has been praised by the outside world. His tolerance and tenacity at the Fengtian Martial Arts Hall, his impressive academic performance, his affinity, and all his actions earned Fengjun a thumbs up. As a father who wanted to support him wholeheartedly, how could he be reluctant to give him a chance? Since Xiao Liuzi is the best among men, he will give him every advantage. What he was worried about was that others would encourage him and harm him instead.
Seeing his worry, Sun Liechen stood aside and said while the iron was hot: "This is a good idea. As the saying goes, a blank piece of paper is easy to draw on. Hanqing's nephew is very good himself, and with this group of people following him, the Guard Brigade does not have to fight for the time being. I believe that time will not pass. As long as he grows up, he can independently control this army. His current military rank is major. I suggest that he be promoted to one promotion and act as deputy brigade commander first."
Yu Zhen is a cautious person, otherwise she would not be able to control Zhang Zuolin's personal cavalry. Seeing that Zhang Hanqing was gradually growing up, and seeing Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen and other elders paving the way or holding the saddle for the young marshal, he felt sorry for him and expressed his willingness to lead troops on the front line, and solemnly recommended that the Guard Brigade should be the leader. It is more reassuring to leave it to the young marshal. He said to Zhang Zuolin: "I am old and my ideas are out of date. In this position, I may not be able to keep up with Han Qing, but I will make a mistake. Han Qing is now fully capable of controlling this army. He proposed I have read the plans for building an army and reorganizing the army. To be honest, in all my life, Yu Zhen, I have never seen the idea of ??leading the army like this. Now everyone is working together and taking Han Qing's words as the guideline. I It’s time to give way to the virtuous and let him make his mark. First, Han Qing is deeply respected and highly respected, and he is satisfied with his superiors and subordinates; second, Han Qing has a heart for reform. In terms of stability, the impact of the reform of the Guard Brigade will be the least. Once If something goes wrong, there will be minimal backlash.”
Yu Zhen’s words are naturally a bit flattering. No matter how awesome Zhang Hanqing is, he is just one of the many students in the Jiangwu Hall. He may be good at talking about military affairs on paper, but he is still far away from actually leading a good army. How can the top and bottom work together and have deep hopes?
As the saying goes, a wise son is suspicious of his neighbours, and his own children are the most beautiful. Zhang Zuolin readily agreed to let Zhang Hanqing take over the Guard Brigade in the future. However, we need to be cautious at this stage. After all, leading troops is not just playing house. Regardless of whether Zhang Hanqing is capable or not, his relatively low qualifications are a major flaw. Someone still needs to lead the team.
Therefore, Zhang Zuolin naturally rejected Yu Zhen's suggestion: "You all say good things about Xiao Liuzi, so I will give it a try. First, let him act as the commander of the regiment as a major battalion commander. If he does well, he will teach in practice. It’s better to go back and forth from where you came from! As for the brigade commander, Jichuan (Yu Zhen’s name), you should do your duty without hesitation, and by the way, you can give Xiaoliuzi some eyes."
Zhang Zuolin was very pleased with Zhen's general knowledge, and naturally reciprocated: "In addition, I plan to establish the post of Fengtian garrison commander, and you will hold it concurrently, Jichuan. The formation of the Guard brigade is a big matter. If you need the assistance of the 27th Division, you can also do it. It’s more convenient to coordinate in the middle.”
Poor parents in the world. Zhang Zuolin also put in a lot of effort so that Zhang Hanqing could calmly rise up after leaving school. There is no other way, haste makes waste, a new recruit who has never been in charge of an army and has no hair on his lips, it is difficult to make the officers and soldiers obey! To be able to hold an important position in this capacity is to do something strange as the chief heir.
This meeting also determined the command team and organization of the Guard Brigade. Its main body is composed of 10 battalions of new troops, cavalry guards, and some technical arms drawn from the 27th Division. Different from the popular system of one division, two brigades and four regiments, the Guards Brigade is composed of three regiments - there is no way, there are too many people. Although it is less than a traditional division, it is definitely much larger than a traditional brigade.
According to Zhang Hanqing's plan, the brigade headquarters has direct jurisdiction over five companies including cavalry, guards, communications, heavy mortars, and special agents. It also has a political section in the headquarters, plus three infantry regiments. It is actually a mixed brigade. architecture. In addition, the original Gendarmerie of the 27th Division was upgraded to the Gendarmerie Headquarters, and its organization was also placed under the Guards Brigade.
A large number of young officers Zhang Hanqing met in the martial arts lecture hall were also selected to join the Guard Brigade. Basically, they were promoted one level and served as battalion and company level cadres. They have all come through thick and thin, and have fought their way through life and death. Many of them may not be able to read a few words, but they are all good at leading troops and fighting. In addition to Zhang Hanqing's identity, they also admired his innovation and ruthlessness in military theories. No one was stupid enough to object to following Zhang Hanqing in promotion.
A large number of Zhang Hanqing's former student soldiers with good performance were appointed to deputy positions at the battalion and company levels or full-time positions at the platoon level. Like Zhang Hanqing, they spent half a day teaching martial arts and half a day guard brigade, and joined the army part-time in advance.
Yu Zhen knew that she was a transitional figure and that her real position was that of the Fengtian garrison commander who had not yet taken up the post, so she decided to become the store manager. Zhang Hanqing's personnel decisions were basically just going through the motions, and he agreed to all his requests. So from the beginning, the Guard Brigade was organized according to Zhang Hanqing's idea.

After Zhang Hanqing acted as the commander of the first regiment and deputy brigade commander as the major battalion commander, since Yu Zhen was not in charge, he could decide the organization and training methods of the army by himself. This was Zhang Zuolin's tacit approval. Zhang Zuolin also wanted to see what tricks this little Liuzi with so many clever ideas could come up with. Anyway, even if things went wrong, he wouldn't be able to make any big waves.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. The Guard Brigade is short of many senior officers from top to bottom and has not been appointed. Anyone with a little bit of savvy will know that Marshal Zhang wants Naizi to show his favor, and this is also the case. When deciding on the positions of leaders of the Second and Third Regiments, Zhang Hanqing's opinions were Yu Zhen's opinions, which was Zhang Zuolin's opinions. When Zhang Hanqing reported Han Linchun and Guo Songling, the response was mixed.
Han Linchun, who was recommended to Zhang Zuolin by Zhang Hanqing, was highly appreciated by Zhang Zuolin. For Fengjun, which lacked talents, Han Linchun's resume was very good. No one in the 27th Division had any objections to his performance when he served as the general manager of the Fengtian Arsenal. What a joke, just based on his previous qualifications - Counselor of the Military Counselor, which is equivalent to the senior counselor of the modern General Staff. It is difficult to say that he is a major general. There is definitely no problem in being made a colonel (if there is one) or something like that. He was already capable, and he did some practical things during his tenure at the arsenal, and was praised by some personnel in the Fengtian department. Yang Yuting praised him highly.
The young commander in charge of the army certainly intends to cultivate his own people. Zhang Zuolin was also open-minded, so he notified Han Linchun to come to the general's mansion to discuss matters, and asked straight to the point: "Are you willing to continue to be the general office, or are you willing to serve in the new army?"
Han Linchun had been consulted by Zhang Hanqing before, and he said without hesitation: "I am still willing to go to the front line to take charge of the troops. The young marshal has great ideas about building a new type of army, and I agree and am willing to help him do this."
Since he is the key training target of the father and son, he must have a certain status, so Zhang Zuolin appointed Han Linchun as the acting chief of staff of the Guard Brigade and the leader of the 2nd Regiment. His general office duties were handed over to Yang Wenkai, who defected to Fengtian at the same time, but major affairs were still in charge of Han Linchun.
But many people questioned the arrangement of Guo Songling. Originally, Zhang Hanqing wanted him to be the deputy brigade commander of the Guard Brigade. With Guo Songling's ability, it would not be a problem to take charge of an army alone. In this way, he can be free to do other things in the future - the Guards Brigade is just his first step, and he has greater ambitions.
???????????????????????? But Guo Songling was still relatively junior in the army, and she had risen to the top with her connections as a young marshal. Some veterans of the 27th Division who had gone through many trials and hardships to become the battalion commander and deputy commander were dissatisfied. Han Linchun can be said to be a place where central cadres are dropped, and it can still be accepted. Who does Guo Guizi count? He was just a teacher at the martial arts hall before, okay?
However, Zhang Hanqing made unremitting efforts for this. When he answered the questions of the veterans, he said: "The new army must have a new atmosphere. Instructor Guo has sufficient knowledge of military theory and strong systematic and communication skills to lead There is no problem with the team at all!" Oh my god, these veterans know what systematicity and communication skills are. These are modern terms, okay? But the general meaning is understood. The young marshal praised and supported Guo Songling.
Zhang Zuolin finally agreed. Guo Songling serves as the acting commander of the 3rd Regiment and concurrently serves as the acting deputy chief of staff of the Guard Brigade, taking charge of the theoretical training of the entire brigade.
And when young Wang Yizhe was appointed as the head of the military and political cadre training group, he was still immersed in the shock of being entrusted with the important task by the young marshal. This regiment leader does not directly lead the troops, and is also a new thing, but it does not hinder his status as being on par with several regiment leaders. Zhang Hanqing also constantly encouraged him when communicating with him: "Be bold and create a new situation that has never been seen before."
In Zhang Hanqing’s view, the soul of an army lies in having a soul, that is, letting the non-commissioned officers understand who they are fighting for and why they are fighting. Once this problem is solved, the morale of the army will increase. Any deficiencies in weapons and equipment, logistical supplies, etc. can be regarded as secondary matters. Zhang Hanqing was determined to build a new type of army that was loyal, unafraid of death, and energetic in accordance with the founding ideas of the People's Liberation Army in later generations, as a model for Fengjun. If such an army has proper strategies and tactics and is equipped with weapons that do not fall behind, it can basically become invincible in the world.
A case in point is the Japanese army in World War II. No matter how reactionary its existence is, how backward the command and vision of its upper-level officers are, the combat courage of the lower-level soldiers is admirable. Although some people may say that as a "Locust Army", they are foolish and loyal, but there is no denying their combat effectiveness, which is the huge energy of their souls.
Both were warlords of the Republic of China, and Wu Peifu's troops generally had stronger combat effectiveness than those of other Zhili cliques and Anhui cliques, and certainly stronger than those of the Feng clique. However, when such troops encountered Chiang Kai-shek's party troops, they were completely defeated. The equally weak army of the August 1st Nanchang Uprising turned into the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army under the dictatorship. After killing its generals and seizing the flag, it transformed itself into an invincible force. official history??The need for military mobilization before and after the war, stabilizing military morale, and understanding the ideological dynamics of officers and soldiers in peacetime. The commander may not have the energy to handle these tasks, but a person or a group of people can help complete these trivial but extremely important tasks. This is the time to embody political cadres.
People often say that ‘technical professions have specializations’, so we regard commanders as their respective professions, responsible for technology and tactics, and political cadres responsible for ideological trends. How a force, commander and political cadres can effectively handle their respective tasks and cooperate with each other is the guarantee of whether this force can "fight when it comes and win the battle." "
??The young marshal has a good speaking ability. If it is difficult to express, he can summarize it in a few words in a simple and profound way, which is also enlightening. In any case, the role of political cadres, a new thing, is deeply ingrained in the hearts of officers and soldiers in the Guard Brigade. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 136 Military Training
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
As the trainees Zhang Hanqing got to know and understand, especially a group of trainee officers with high levels of education, joined the Guards Brigade after their studies, a new type of army that was different from the general army at that time gradually took shape, and Zhang Zuolin's Guards Brigade became one of the most important elements of the Republic of China army at that time. The only "cultural soldier" in the army. In particular, after Zhang Hanqing concurrently served as regimental commander and deputy brigade commander as a student at the Jiangwu Hall, and Guo Songling served as instructor and senior staff officer of the General's Office as chief of staff of the Guard Brigade, almost all of them were "student officers."
There is a lot of criticism from the outside world about the fact that so many student officers hold important positions in the Guard Brigade. The new recruits are not scary, but when the top and bottom are led by "scholars" who have never fought in a war, it becomes a lot of fun. Some people were secretly giving a cold look, preparing to watch the Guard Brigade's jokes. Also, among the three regiment leaders, only Han Linchun was a genuine military personnel, but had never directly led troops; the young marshal was purely a son who valued his father, and gained power based on connections; and Guo Songling was a teacher who "talked about military affairs on paper". These three people, who do not understand military affairs, are in high positions. Who knows what they will do to the Guard Brigade? Anyway, "I don't feel bad if I sell my father's land", just let him do whatever he wants!
However, facts speak louder than words. The Guard Brigade led by the four regiment commanders Zhang, Han, Guo, and Wang not only did not become chaotic as some people thought, but it also changed three times a day, and its morale was so high that it shocked the eyes.
In Zhang Hanqing, he mainly uses crisis awareness. The student army serves as an officer. Although the promotion range is large, the positions are almost all acting. It was made very clear at the beginning of the appointment: if the assessment is suitable after half a year, the word "generation" will naturally be removed. At that time, Zhang Hanqing will propose a formal appointment, and the favor will come from him; if it is not suitable, there will be no need to replace him and he will be returned directly. He went to the martial arts hall to start over and study again. Such a simple decision made these aspiring student officers have to work hard. Not to mention the realization of the ideal of a strong country, it would be humiliating just to be driven back. Scholars cannot be killed and cannot be humiliated!
In order to make up for the gap between middle and lower-level officers, Zhang Hanqing decisively promoted outstanding junior officers who were still learning to the positions of battalion and company-level officers. He also specifically stipulated that in the future, all officers in the Guard Brigade who would be promoted to squad or platoon level or above must know 1,000 Basic Chinese characters to transform the original officers. These people are different from ordinary soldiers. They do not join the army for clothing and food, but truly take it as their duty to serve the country. They have a close relationship with the student officers, and they recognize Zhang Hanqing's ideas and are willing to follow them. In addition, they are constantly seeking progress, so the grassroots cadres of the Guard Brigade have excellent innate conditions.
Guo Songling was originally an instructor at the Jiangwu Hall. His mastery of military knowledge, training skills and hard work really put Zhang Hanqing to shame, so he obeyed his words, which made Guo Songling feel grateful and work harder. His training requirements for officers are to conduct cadre training every morning and evening. Especially officers below the company commander must carry out the training seriously. The main thing is to train the stabbing skills and the uniformity of the standard instructor's movements. Guo Songling was strict in his conduct, so most of his officers gradually inherited his style.
Military training is a must, but Zhang Hanqing believes that spiritual cultivation is far beyond military training. He doesn't like officers with a warlord style. In his plan, the integration of officers and soldiers is a must. This is the magic weapon to win the respect of soldiers and build an invincible army. The behavior of veterans bullying recruits and officers preying on soldiers is unforgivable. .
He advocated the establishment of a soldier committee organization in each company in order to gain the voice of grassroots soldiers. The battalion has a political section and the regiment has a political department, which are all under the military and political cadre training group directly under the brigade headquarters. This regiment is a nominal one and has no establishment itself. It only conducts military training and occasional ideological education. Several cadres are officers who do not fight. But this is Zhang Hanqing's biggest concern. It is the seed of the new style of military service in his mind and the cradle of future political cadres.
“If officers and soldiers can really be one, obey orders and carry them out from the bottom of their hearts, what difficulties can’t be overcome? Imagine why in history when the armies of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party fought, the gcd army was able to defeat the strong and fight with greater courage and finally unify mainland China? Leaving aside political and economic factors, this can be seen from some films that reflect the war: During the battle, the Kuomintang officer waved his pistol: "Brothers, charge me!" while the gcd officer jumped out of the trench and shouted: " Brothers, come with me!"
Between the "give" and the "follow", superiority and inferiority are immediately apparent.
For the education of soldiers, the staff office of the Guard Brigade Headquarters formulates a year-round education plan and distributes it to each regiment and each directly affiliated battalion. Each regiment and each battalion then formulates a weekly academic subject education plan implementation table and issues it to each battalion and company. Follow and implement. The general principle is to treat training as a real battle, and each company's squad often holds group meetings to discuss the gains and losses of training. Some officers and soldiers are veterans and find it difficult to accept the young marshal's management style of "depriving veterans and officers of their privileges and treating soldiers as human beings".He murmured. The recruits, who had not been tested by war for a long time, could not help but find it a bit unbearable when they first experienced this inhuman "torture". Zhang Hanqing has a famous saying that corresponds to this: "Only when you sweat more in peacetime can you bleed less in wartime."
In addition, because grassroots officers train with soldiers, eat the same meals, and have to receive various "literacy" educations at night, they suffer more than soldiers. Therefore, even though the training of the Guards Brigade is more intensive than that of the 27th Division However, the resentment of the soldiers has always been within the controllable range. The kind of "mutiny" among the soldiers that was privately speculated by the veterans has become increasingly difficult to occur as the training becomes more and more popular.
Zhang Hanqing personally compiled "Guard Brigade Military Training" and "Twelve Questions and Answers for Soldiers" and distributed them to each battalion, company, and platoon; they were posted in the military buildings and lecture halls as required educational subjects during roll call in the morning and evening. The full text of "Guard Brigade Military Training" is as follows:
"Our nation is oppressed by our powerful neighbors and is currently in danger. All our officers, soldiers, soldiers, husbands, etc., will serve the purpose of our brigade, sacrifice everything, work hard, unite with sincerity in the spirit of mutual assistance, obey orders, and go together. national calamity."
12 Questions and Answers from Soldiers:
Question: Who are our parents? Answer: It’s the common people.
Question: Who are our brothers, sisters, and relatives? Answer: It’s the common people.
Question: Where do the clothes we wear come from? Answer: It comes from the common people.
Question: Where does the food we eat come from? Answer: It comes from the common people.
Ask, who are we originally? Answer: They are also common people.
Question: We have such a relationship with the common people, how should we treat them? Answer: We should love them, help them, protect them, and not take advantage of the masses.
Question: What should we do if the enemy is strong and we are weak? Answer: When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins.
Question: What should I do if there is a hail of bullets? Answer: It is safe to die for the country, and you will be a good man again twenty years later.
……
At that time, there was no such thing as socialist education or political and ideological education in military education. Even such a simple "soldier question and answer" is still unique. If it weren't for the new army's poor understanding, Zhang Hanqing would have wanted to implement the "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" in advance.
Even so, it still arouses slander from many people. Many Fengjun veterans are deeply puzzled by the young marshal's new military training method. They believe that a soldier's bounden duty is to carry a gun and fight. Why spend time and energy learning to write and draw? Could it be that once you have finished writing and learned a few more words, your enemies will be scared away?
When Feng Delin, an official in the same city, heard about Marshal Zhang, he said sarcastically: "Like son, like father. It would be unforgivable for Heaven not to drive Zhang Zuolin away!"
The improvement of military capabilities and political quality is a slow process, and the transformation of the Guard Brigade was ridiculed by ordinary warlords at the time. Even within Fengjun, there are mixed opinions. Of course, the die-hards headed by Tang Yulin had some concerns about the young marshal's army reorganization, but they did not pay attention to Guo Songling, who was the chief of staff. Regarding Guo Songling's ideological mobilization and training model, Tang Yulin once said sarcastically: "Guo Jiazi is making a fool of himself."
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off If you don't like people, everything will go wrong. It turned out that Guo Songling was a model of strict self-discipline in his daily life. His conduct and discipline were upright at all times, and he was quite like a Japanese devil. This can also be taken seriously.
Some political cadres gradually rose to prominence, and gradually became full-time officers from deputy officers, officially entering the command system of the Guard brigade; the other part, attracted by the policy platform of young marshals as the mainstay, changed from cadres to political instructors and began to train new people. This laid the foundation for the future political team of the future young commander.
The difference in ideological realm determines the quality. With the help of Guo Songling, the young marshal will have the opportunity to train his own people from within the old Fengjun army, which is full of gangs. At this point, Zhang Zuolin basically has no objection and is happy to see it happen - the direct line of the successor, In fact, he is also his direct descendant.
But no one expected that the energy of this group of "student officers" would be so great in the future.
The opposition also disagrees with the statement of "Guard Brigade Military Training": Doesn't the oppression of powerful neighbors refer to Japan? The relationship between the Fengtian faction and the Japanese army in Fengtian is okay now. Don't cause any evil moths to come if nothing happens!
The Japanese troops in Fengtian were not without movement. Judging from the extent of the Japs' penetration into the Northeast, they had heard of what Zhang Hanqing was doing in the Guard Brigade. Kenji Doihara, the head of the Japanese secret service stationed in Fengtian, also half-truthfully expressed his exploration of the so-called "strong neighbor oppression" by the Marshal. Zhang Hanqing, while talking about the friendship between Fengtian and Japan, said that this "strong neighbor" "Not referring to Japan.
But Doi did not give up and asked directly: "In China, there should be no neighbor closer than Japan."
Zhang Hanqing replied: "We have an ancient poem in China that says, 'Friends in the sea are like neighbors at the end of the world.' Well, if you have a desire to cooperate, you will be close even if you are far away; if you have a desire to do evil, you will be far away even if you are close. Recently, the British were on the Tibetan-Burmese side of China. I am restless, but my central government is beyond the reach of the whip, so I say this."

Chapter 137 Military Discipline

Zhang Zuolin, who became the King of Fengtian, did not dare to neglect and strictly controlled the troops. He has a habit of visiting privately incognito. Of course he was well aware of the abilities of the military commanders who had been following him for a long time, but he was still interested in taking the exams for the many new and unfamiliar officers promoted by Zhang Hanqing.
One night, Zhang Zuolin was holding a folding paper fan, wearing a melon skin hat, a silk robe, and soft cloth shoes. He was dressed as a businessman, without an adjutant or a guard, and quietly walked out from the south gate of the Marshal's Mansion alone. He wanted to privately inspect the defense situation of the army in Fengtian City. He took advantage of the darkness and first suddenly arrived at the Military Police Headquarters under the Guards Brigade. The officer on duty was shocked because he did not expect that the Marshal would pay an unannounced visit in disguise. Zhang Zuolin checked the duty situation of the headquarters and was very satisfied to see that it was in good order. Then, he came to the headquarters of the 27th Division alone, and the officer on duty received the commander with surprise on his face. Seeing that the division was in good order, the commander quietly withdrew.
Zhang Zuolin did not let anyone guard him and walked back leisurely by himself. It was already around 2:00 midnight, there were few people on the street, and the night was pitch black. Zhang Zuolin walked towards the Commander's Mansion calmly. He wanted to go home through the east gate, so he slowly approached the East Gate of the Commander's Mansion. The lights in the east gate alley of the Marshal's Mansion were dim. Zhang Zuolin vaguely saw the guard box at the east gate of the Marshal's Mansion, and vaguely felt a sentry standing guard. Seeing that he was about to arrive home, the handsome man walked happily and relaxedly.
When he was only about 100 meters away from the east gate, Zhang Zuolin suddenly heard a stern shout: "Stop! Password!"
Marshal Zhang was stunned for a moment and looked around. He thought he was warning others, but didn't take it seriously. He calmed down and continued walking forward. At this time, the commander heard the sound of the rifle being cocked and the bullet being loaded. The commander, who had experienced battles for a long time, knew that this was a preparation for shooting. At the same time, another louder and more severe yell was heard: "You bastard, you are looking for death! If you don't stop, I will shoot you and send you back to your hometown!"
When Zhang Zuolin heard the guard calling him a bastard, he couldn't help but became furious and shouted: "I am Zhang Zuolin!" The commander thought that as long as he revealed his identity, the misunderstanding could be resolved, and he went home smoothly.
Unexpectedly, the guard was very vigilant and did not believe Zhang Zuolin's answer at all. He thought he was telling lies to deceive him, so he continued to scold him sternly: "You are Zhang Zuolin's biological father, so you have to get out of here quickly. Otherwise, you are Zhang Zuolin's biological father." , My gun will be merciless!" Zhang Zuolin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, how dare you scold me, little bastard. I just wanted to get angry, but I calmed down immediately. After thinking about it, I couldn't help laughing and said: "Good boy, you have the guts! Okay, okay, I'm going, I'm going!"
As expected of being killed in a hail of bullets, Zhang Zuolin realized that this guard was an extremely serious person. At the same time, he was in the dark, wearing plain clothes and without any guards. He was alone and unable to prove his identity. Once the opponent opens fire, it is no joke. He made a decisive decision and immediately turned around and walked towards the east end of the alley.
Marshal Zhang calmed down and took a shortcut to the machine gun squadron headquarters of the training team on the east side of Dananmenli Road. It directly belonged to Wang Yizhe of the teaching team. When I arrived at the squadron headquarters, I called the squadron leader Wang Guansan. Wang Guansan was originally his personal bodyguard. The bodyguard was promoted to brigade rear. Wang Guansan also rose to the top. As the veteran of the bodyguard, he was promoted to second lieutenant and squadron leader. He was a very trustworthy person.
Wang Guansan is a monk with two feet in height—I don’t know what to do with him at such a late hour. The marshal told him to hang up at the marshal's house and ask the guard brigade staff officer on duty to come out and take him back to his house. The person who answered the phone at that time happened to be Guo Songling, chief of staff of the Guard Brigade. When Guo Songling heard that the commander called someone from outside to pick him up, she thought something big had happened and did not dare to neglect. She immediately gathered the pistol company, ran to the squadron headquarters, and took the commander back to the commander's residence.
Zhang Zuolin returned to the general office of the Marshal's Mansion. Before he could sit down, he immediately said to Guo Songling: "Go and call the guard on guard at the east gate. I have something to say." Guo Songling didn't know what was going on, but didn't dare to ask more questions. Send the order. Soon, Company Commander Chu, the guard officer on duty that night, brought over a capable soldier in his 20s. He felt very strange that the commander summoned him so late.
Zhang Zuolin saw the guard and asked seriously: "What is your name?"
The guard didn’t know what was going on and replied loudly: “My name is Li Debiao!”
Zhang Zuolin listened to Li Debiao's accent and recognized that it was the guard who had just met him.
He whispered to himself: "It's this boy!" He looked at this young man carefully and saw that he was tall, stupid and thick-set, with a loyal look on his face. He already secretly liked him, but then he secretly fell in love with him. Tsukuru said sternly: "Why didn't you let me enter the east gate just now? Even if you say it's my father! Could it be that you don't listen to what I say?!"
At this point, Li Debiao knewThe man who was just scolded and not allowed to approach the east gate was really Marshal Zhang. He was at a loss and felt panic, knowing that he was in trouble. However, the matter has come to this, and there is no use regretting it. Afraid? Of course it's even worse. Kill or behead, it's up to you. However, he thought he had to explain the situation and argue for himself, so he bit the bullet and said: "Report to the commander, the company commander has an order!"
The commander asked sharply: "What order?"
The guard loudly replied: "Stand guard at night. No one is allowed to enter or leave the commander's house without orders and passwords from above." Li Debiao emphasized "no one is allowed" - you, Zhang Zuolin, are also one of them.
Zhang Zuolin slapped the table: "Who's bigger, the company commander or me? Your company commander also has to listen to me!"
Captain Chu was standing nearby, fearing that this stubborn soldier would be killed, so he said: "Commander, the young marshal has taught you that 'a general will not accept your orders,' and he also said that 'it is the bounden duty of a soldier to obey orders.' The young marshal's orders are That is, no one is allowed to enter or leave the marshal's residence at night. The young marshal said that the calmer the night, the more vigilant it is. Since last month, no one is allowed to enter or leave the marshal's residence at night without orders and passwords from the brigade headquarters. Violators will be severely punished by military discipline." He thought to himself that if you two commanders, father and son, have conflicts, it would be easier for us outsiders to communicate with each other.
"Good boy!" Zhang Zuolin glanced at Company Commander Chu standing aside and said approvingly: "I don't think you can lead troops!" After saying that, he asked Li Debiao with a relaxed face how old he was and where he was from. How many years have you been in the military, have you ever married a wife, and your family status, etc. It turns out that Li Debiao is from Faku County in northern Liaoning. He is 21 years old and has been a soldier for two years. He has not yet married a wife because his family is poor.
Zhang Zuolin nodded. After tonight's actual encounter and the oral investigation just now, the commander is already confident. He decided to reward Captain Chu and the young guard heavily and use them as examples to encourage other soldiers.
He called over Guo Songling, the chief of staff of the Guard Brigade, and ordered: "Maochen (Guo Songling's name), promote Company Commander Chu to battalion commander, and promote Li Debiao to second lieutenant officer. Tell the Munitions Department that Company Commander Chu will be rewarded with 500 silver dollars and Li Debiao will be rewarded with 2,000 yuan." This is my personal reward to them, and I will let the Munitions Department keep an account first."
Guo Songling agreed: "Yes!"
However, Zhang Zuolin smiled at Company Commander Chu and Li Debiao and said, "'It is a soldier's bounden duty to obey orders.' This is a good saying. But you, Marshal, must also listen to me, hahaha."
He was still unfinished, thought for a while, and then said: "Tell Yang Yuting to come see me tomorrow morning!" Guo Songling said that he agreed, and the marshal wanted to make further arrangements for Li Debiao.
Zhang Zuolin asked casually: "What is the password tonight?"
Captain Chu, who had just received the compliment, suddenly dropped his head, and even Guo Songling immediately fell silent. Zhang Zuolin felt strange, wasn't it just a password? Although the secrets are confidential, they are all conveyed uniformly from the Guards Brigade Headquarters. He, the commander-in-chief, wants to know that there is no leakage of secrets, right?
Li Debiao was still honest and simple, and blurted out: "Report to the Marshal, tonight's password is 'Young Marshal is mighty'!"
Zhang Zuolin: “…”
The next day, Yang Yuting, chief counselor of the Fengtian General Administration, came to see Zhang Dashuai. Zhang Dashuai politely said to him: "Lingge (Yang Yuting's word), let me introduce you to a small fellow from your county." Yang Yuting is also from Faku. . Yang Yuting asked who it was, and Zhang Zuolin called Li Debiao and introduced them to each other. After the introduction, Zhang Zuolin told Yang Yuting what happened last night. Yang Yuting laughed and said, "It's really like a commander meeting a soldier. It makes sense but doesn't make sense!"
Zhang Zuolin praised Li Debiao for his "kindness" and repeatedly said: "I, Zhang Zuolin, like tough bones. As a soldier, of course, the first priority is to fulfill your responsibilities and obey orders. A guy like Li Debiao strictly enforces military orders. No matter who he is, he is really aggressive. What a talent!"
Then, Zhang Zuolin asked Yang Yuting two things: first, ask Yang Yuting to be responsible for choosing a young girl of similar age for Li Debiao to be his wife; second, send Li Debiao to the martial arts hall immediately.
Li Debiao has since become a well-known figure in the Northeast Army. This ordinary soldier from a poor family changed the course of his life. He was very ambitious. Not only did he catch the eye of the old commander, he also entered the martial arts hall of a famous military school and graduated with honors. Of course, he also performed very well in the army. Later, he commanded well in a series of battles with the young marshal to suppress bandits and made great achievements. By the 10th year of the Republic of China (1921), he had been promoted to colonel of the main force of the 27th Division. The leader.
Zhang Zuolin greatly appreciated Zhang Hanqing’s proposition that “obedience to orders is the bounden duty of soldiers.” If this is the case, as the supreme commander of the Feng army, who has the ability to wrest military power from him? If officers and soldiers are not afraid of death, what battle can't be won? From then on, this sentence spread from the Guard Brigade to the entire 27th Division, and was firmly remembered as the first rule for soldiers to enlist in the army.
Good military discipline allowed Fengjun to gradually stand out among the armies of various places at that time. His combat effectiveness was indeed enhanced, and he also won the support of the people of Fengtian. Of course, Guo Songling's rigorous military management is also legendary. From then on, as a rising star within Fengjun, Guo Songling officially entered Zhang Zuolin's sight. As one of the direct descendants of the young marshal, he also officially stepped onto the stage at the core level of Fengjun.

Chapter 138 The life-threatening Xiao Zhang
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
For Zhang Hanqing, more than half a year after he came to this world, the situation in Fengtian has not changed drastically, and there is still a lot of gap between his ideal situation - finances are still tight, there is no obvious progress in industry, and there is still a lack of military progress. He has no achievements, and the top management of the department is still the same, which makes him often feel unwelcome and work harder.
His qualifications are too low, and it is not his turn to speak at the level of the 27th Division or the provincial government. He can only work hard on his own one-third of an acre of land. Every morning or throughout the day, he received systematic military training with the officers of the Guard Brigade and the 27th Division in the Lecture Hall. In the evening, he told the officers at the Guard Brigade about his expectations for this unit, the Guard Brigade and Fengjun's future development, the revitalization of the industrial economy, and the history he learned in his previous life illustrate the subsequent impact of World War I on various countries——of course in the form of prophecy.
Sometimes in the afternoons, I would talk about life and some relatively confidential matters with a few close relatives, which is not enough for outsiders.
At night, when the vast majority of the officers and soldiers of the 27th Division who are not on duty fall asleep, the illiterate officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade still need to receive literacy education; the literate intellectuals also need to receive re-education in cultural classes and high-level The officers had to read through a series of military documents designated by the marshal and take notes - the marshal had to read them himself.
They had no complaints, or at least they did not dare to complain in front of the young marshal, because Zhang Hanqing was more diligent than them. In addition to reading and memorizing it himself, he also took time to visit some famous industrialists and economic figures in Fengtian City to discuss with them ways to strengthen Fengtian's economy.
The soldiers respected their young commander from the bottom of their hearts. Yes, respect. It was the young marshal who gave them the first opportunity to learn how to read and write, and gave them the opportunity to be addressed as "sir" by others after taking off their military uniforms.
The young marshal shares the joys and sorrows with his colleagues, works personally, and never puts on airs, giving people a brotherly feeling. Moreover, the young marshal has profound knowledge. In this era, respecting intellectuals is a heartfelt behavior of the poor people. In addition, the young marshal's life-threatening behavior on the training ground also made the soldiers who respect the strong respect him.
The cruelty of this world is that there are people who are more talented than you, work harder than you, and have a rich father.
Xiao Zhang is playing tricks on his life.
Sometimes Zhang Hanqing is also reflecting: Even if he trains his body to be better, trains his military discipline to be more strict, and makes his military posture more neat, what's the use? He is not a weapons supremacist, and he also knows that people control weapons. However, without industry and money, there is no way to grow stronger, and there is no strength in the hands. Over exaggerating the role of the spirit is actually harmful.
Everything is in the economy. Even if Zhang Hanqing has more than a hundred years of experience, he cannot reverse the fact that China, Northeast China, and Fengtian have poor economic strength. The economic base determines the superstructure. It's so damn right. At least Zhang Hanqing understands it deeply. Feng Delin, a division commander, was able to play around with Zhang Zuolin, the imperial general and patrol envoy of Fengtian, all because of his strength.
Sometimes, he would also go to the Fengtian Provincial Patrol Envoy’s Office to inquire about political affairs.
Yes, ask about politics, ask about administration. If you don’t care about the administrative processes and methods of this era, how can you effectively integrate your knowledge into this era? Zhang Hanqing does not dare to confidently think that what he has learned is correct. After all, what exists is reasonable. Some methods that may seem unacceptable are the most suitable for this era - from an evolutionary perspective, There is always a process for the development of things, right? He doesn't want to be ridiculed for being too ambitious!
?????????????????????????? But for the more macro-level politics and military affairs, he is "a scholar who knows the world's affairs without going out." In his previous life, he had rich training experience and "profound" knowledge. He was like a guiding light to the young backbone of the Guard Brigade, especially the student officers, giving them deep confidence in themselves and China's future:
After the death of Lao Yuan, the Beijing regime has been in turmoil. The Beiyang faction, which was once like a family, began to split into two main forces. The fight between fish and clams was a good time for the rise of Fengjun. Fengjun outside Guanwan had unique geographical advantages. , will definitely become a new pole and a big stage for everyone to display their talents. This is domestic.
Abroad, future wars will depend on national strength; no matter how ferocious the German army is, it will be overwhelmed by industrial powers such as the United States and Britain that have unleashed their war potential;
The tanks that will appear in the UK (actually Zhang Hanqing remembered wrongly, this thing has been around for a few months) are actually horse-drawn chariots in ancient China - but they are no longer driven by horses, but by machines. The chariot does not have two wheels, but tracks (Zhang Hanqing: It’s really tiring to brainwash these illiterate people), which will change the tradition of land warfare. Germany will definitely use this thing to avenge its past humiliation. The advantage of this thing is that it is fast and carries its own weapons.Fengjun will mass-produce such things in the future, provided that its industrial capabilities can keep up;
There is already a force changing in Russia, and this force is commanded by a party called the Bolsheviks - the word "Bolsheviks" is actually still in the womb, and it was not dominant from the beginning. But Zhang Hanqing couldn't remember it. Anyway, he remembered that the Russian Communist Party was about to gain power - the command system of this team has changed from the traditional chief executive system to a party committee system. The political system of the Guard Brigade will be like this in the future. way.
Not only the political system, but also the government and parliament will be controlled by such a party in the future. China needs such a dominant party in political, military and economic life to be strong. Zhang Hanqing is using his own strength to cultivate this army, allowing them to understand, support, and join the party he wants to establish in the future. He is now working hard to find and cultivate like-minded comrades.
Of course, it is too early to talk about building a party. The first thing he needs is to have his own voice in Fengtian. This new army is his best weapon. It’s not that he hasn’t thought about learning from the founding method of the Chinese Communist Party, but now there are few people who can advocate for him, and he doesn’t want to waste time on such slow bottom-up changes. Only from the top down, using administrative or autocratic power, can his ideals be realized. The premise is that he has enough influence, or power.
At this stage, the only thing that can give him power is this new army.
A soldier is in a raging state, and a general is in a raging nest. Guo and Han alone are far from enough. It is necessary to use their connections in the military to recommend talents to each other. No, Guo Songling, who just graduated from the fourth phase of Mainland University, recommended several people to Zhang Hanqing.
Since Tan Hai worked more in the special forces, Gao Jiyi was in the Fengqing Bureau, and Zhu Guangmu was a scholar, Zhang Hanqing now lacked an adjutant and bodyguard to follow him, so Guo Songling recommended Jiang Huanan, who graduated from Baoding Military Academy, to him.
He and Guo Songling are close, but for such an important matter as personal guards, big shots generally do not accept recommendations easily. But Zhang Hanqing not only happily agreed, but also directly appointed him as his captain and adjutant.
It’s not that he had unconditional trust in Guo, because Zhang Hanqing was quite familiar with Jiang Huanan: Historically, Jiang Huanan was very loyal to him and served as his chief of guard until he died during a military reorganization. At that time, a mutiny broke out during the reorganization of Mu Chun's army. Considering Zhang Xueliang's safety, Jiang Huanan volunteered to get out of the car and speak to the officers of the division on behalf of Zhang Xueliang. Mu Chun's division commander Wang Yongqing was once a bandit leader, nicknamed "The World is Good". During Jiang Zheng's speech, due to improper pre-arrangement, the news leaked and Jiang Huanan was shot dead by Yu Mou, the commander of the division.
People who can die for him, so even though it was recommended by Guo Songling, he didn't shy away from it at all - this invisibly narrowed the distance between him and Guo Songling, and was considered by Guo to be a sign of extreme trust in him.
So Guo Songling immediately recommended another classmate. Peng Zhenguo, Xu Yongchang, and Lin Wei, who were also in the fourth semester of Mainland China, all came into Zhang Hanqing's sight. It is a pity that Xu Yongchang is from Shanxi and was recruited by Yan Xishan after graduation. Peng and Lin accepted the invitation.
Zhang Hanqing was not familiar with Peng, but he had an impression of Lin Wei. This later became Chiang Kai-shek's most trusted military figure and has always been the director of President Chiang Kai-shek's aide-de-camp. He twice crossed himself out of the list of candidates for promotion to general. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he deleted his Medal of Loyalty and Diligence to show his loyalty and down-to-earth attitude. He is praised for not only being a ruralist and not cultivating personal gangs. He is a very low-key but rare figure among the Kuomintang generals. If not for the time and space shift, he would have been appointed battalion commander of the Zhejiang Army Engineer Corps after graduation, promoted to chief of staff, and promoted to regimental commander a year later.
Zhang Hanqing, who was highly praised by Guo Songling, extended an olive branch to him. Lin Wei, who lives in Huangyan, Zhejiang Province, came to Fengtian with the curious idea of ????seeing his true appearance, and was immediately hired by Zhang Hanqing as his chief of staff——actually, he was the one beside him. Senior military staff. Peng Zhenguo was assigned to be a teacher at the Fengtian Lecture Hall, and Zhang Hanqing privately told him to pay more attention to the development of the air forces of various countries.
The young marshal's erudite reference, quick thinking, reasonableness, and simple explanations impressed the audience of the Guard Brigade deeply, and he quickly captured the hearts of the troops, which Zhang Zuolin didn't expect. Lao Zhang, who has led troops for many years, does not know a few words, but he understands one truth. This is how the army should be led. Capturing the heart is more useful than any power at critical moments.
"To be honest, Zhang Hanqing's seemingly unreasonable assumptions, but also full of theoretical basis and possibility, were eye-opening for both the student army and the veteran Fengjun. I heard that Zhang Hanqing followed such an alluring and inspiring path, which made a group of young student officers who were still somewhat angry become more energetic. "Follow the young marshal and you will have a bright future" is the consensus in their hearts. This consensus, along with a series of successful experiences, has led to more and more people following Zhang Hanqing.
As more and more people move in the same direction, a party will naturally form. This is a story for another day. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The successful experience has led to more and more people following Zhang Hanqing.

Chapter 139 Military Camp Woman
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The young marshal became a legend in the hearts of Fengtian people.
Having both the qualities of a writer, the temperament of an artist, the demeanor of a diplomat, and the potential of a military strategist, Zhang Hanqing became famous in the provincial capital. Coupled with the status of young commander and the influence of old commander, Zhang Hanqing was naturally regarded as a rising star by Fengtian military and political officials, and this naturally attracted many golden phoenixes.
The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Naturally, this phoenix also has some disadvantages. In view of Zhang Hanqing's status, many people want to take shortcuts. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. There is no exception in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. Famous horse antiques are the best treasures of many meritorious children, and Zhang Xueliang before time travel was no exception. However, after returning to Beijing, the young marshal changed his past and discarded all these things, making him accustomed to idleness. People in the circle were impressed by Zhang Xueliang's style and couldn't accept it.
"However, Zhang Hanqing was preoccupied with the training at the Martial Arts Hall and the training of the Guard Brigade. His mind was "unfathomable" and many people could not grasp the pulse. His ideas are too old to keep up with the rhythm, and it is difficult to talk to him; those who can keep up with his ideas, such as Han Linchun, Guo Songling, Wang Yizhe and others, are all ready to start with military achievements and become his right and left hand as their way to the promotion. If you want to break into his circle, it's really difficult to do it without two brushes.
With this halo, it is relatively easy for Zhang Hanqing to do things, and he is no longer afraid of people saying that he is too ambitious and talks on paper. Although others may not understand some of the young marshal's wild ideas, they still try to recognize them. Fortunately, as time went on, these thoughts gradually showed that the young commander was correct. So everyone said that it was not that they were incompetent, but that the young commander was a genius.
In view of the fact that the Guard Brigade is responsible for the security of the provincial capital and the suppression of the 27th Division, especially the Japanese, Russian, Feng Delin clique, Manchu relics and central forces that interact with each other to influence Fengtian City, although there is the "Fengqi Bureau" first The division is responsible for the underground security of the provincial capital. However, due to the complex sources of information and serious factional conflicts in the army, the "Fengqi Bureau" was unable to effectively penetrate the 27th Division for a while. Without an intelligence collection team in the military, it is impossible to detect whether an underground front has been established that is independent of military orders and the military and political system. To this end, Zhang Hanqing specially set up a company-level special agent class at the brigade headquarters and took charge of it himself. This unit usually does not wear military uniforms and is not in combat order, but in Zhang Hanqing's mind, it was a pilot for the "Fengqi Bureau" to be officially active in the Republic of China.
In this way, each regiment of the Guard Brigade has more than 2,000 people - that is the number of people in a strengthened regiment, and the total number of people in the entire brigade reaches nearly 8,000. Since the Guards Brigade is the "emperor's own army", the allocation of ordnance personnel is prioritized. Although the heavy mortar unit only has one company, it is equipped with 9 units as standard - this was agreed upon by Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen immediately after he took office as the commander of the 54th Brigade. . In contrast, the number of people in each brigade of the various armies in the pass is only equivalent to one regiment of the Guards Brigade. Ordinary local troops do not have heavy weapons such as mortars at all. It can be seen that Lao Zhang's support for his son is not ordinary.
In this regard, Zhang Hanqing knew the trick. In addition to his superior background and his own efforts, it was mainly due to the support of the old commanders and generals. The main role was played by Zhang Zuoxiang. As Zhang Xueliang said many times in official history: "I know that Zhang Zuoxiang deliberately promoted me" and "I joined the army, and it was entirely Zhang Zuoxiang who promoted me."
As for the role of dad, of course it is self-evident. The more this happened, the more Zhang Hanqing felt that if he didn't work hard in return, he would not be able to explain it to the people who cared about him. It's understandable that he works so hard.
Summer in the north comes a bit slowly. It’s mid-July and it’s still a bit cold in Fengtian City.
But the Guard Brigade Exercise Field was a lively scene. Because, our young marshal is going to have a brigade-wide competition today. Since the morning, all officers and soldiers have been vigorous and vigorous, trying to show their achievements in the past few months in front of the beloved young commander. No matter the military appearance, many veteran generals of the 27th Division who were watching were filled with admiration. Given time, no one dares to deny that this force cannot become an elite division.
Of course, there are also dissonances. Tang Yulin was a little disdainful: "Training troops to fight is better than seeing red with a bayonet. What's the use of just practicing these tricks?"
However, more voices were positive. Zhang Zuoxiang said: "The commander-in-chief has hired the right person to lead this team." Sun Liechen also said: "In terms of training hardness, the 27th Division is not as good as the Guard Brigade." .”
“ Subsequently, each regiment and battalion of the Guard Brigade conducted target practice, formation, artillery drill, bayonet, equestrian and other drills, all of which showed good quality. Coupled with the praise of everyone, Zhang Zuolin, as a father, naturally has a bright face, and he is also very happy with the progress of this new army and pro-army.
Two hours passed in a flash. Zhang Zuolin was still not finished and watched Zhang Hanqing give instructions to officers above the company level.
This instruction is unique and Zhang Hanqing is eloquent.But the scene still looked very serious: "Lao Zhu, can't all the girls I've met meet me casually regardless of the occasion? This is a military camp! If you have something to do, ask her to wait outside the military camp. I'll go see you later when I'm free. Meet her."
At this point, no one was in the mood to listen anymore, especially Zhang Zuolin. He didn't care much about these sexy news. As a man, it's okay to have three wives and four concubines. He's already old, so he took in five wives a few days ago.
Thinking about it, I am too selfish. My son has reached the age where marriage is being discussed, and there is still no one who knows the warmth of the kang. It’s a shame that I have to bring wives home one after another! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Speaking of which, these fifth ladies are really special. This is what Zhang Zuolin found a few days ago when he was invited to attend the graduation ceremony of Fengtian Provincial Girls' High School. On this occasion, a beautiful female student delivered a speech of thanks on behalf of all the graduates. Her delicate voice and graceful figure immediately attracted me. Later, people were sent to investigate and found that this woman was of extraordinary origin and was a Manchu named Shou Yi. His father, General Shoushan, was a national hero in Heilongjiang, and his grandfather was also a fierce general in the Qing army. He was wounded 12 times in a battle and still remained on the battlefield.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of respect for her, he had the idea of ??marrying her back - this is Lao Zhang's tradition: he will marry the man he likes, and give a betrothal gift to the woman he likes. Soon, Shouyi married Zhang Zuolin, who was nearly 20 years older than her. In this way, Zhang Hanqing had a stepmother younger than him before he got married, although he was used to Zhang Zuolin adding such a "little mother" to him every once in a while.
With a guilty conscience, Zhang Zuolin couldn't listen anymore. He wanted to meet the woman behind Han Qing. Of course, it is inappropriate to meet directly, Lao Zhang still has this common sense. He still calmly listened to Zhang Hanqing's obviously out-of-state speech, and then left the Guard Brigade with a bunch of veterans.
From a distance, I saw a gorgeously dressed woman in fiery red in front of the barracks door, yes, fiery red. Her whole body was bright red. She was tall and had a hot figure. Her face is only 28 years old, but her clear eyes betray her vicissitudes of history.
This woman is so powerful! The veterans who climbed down from the Zhiduiyan Center all admired from the bottom of their hearts. The young marshal has a good eye. Such beautiful women are probably hard to find in heaven.
Zhang Zuolin saw a crisis in it. This woman is beautiful, but she is obviously not from a good family. He had no problem with his son calling a prostitute, but he couldn't accept it if he wanted to marry her home. Although he is lustful, all the women he marries are from good families.
He didn’t even remember what this woman looked like. He was just anxious in his heart that it was time to marry the wife his son had arranged for. He still had a little bit of a villain's heart and thought, could it be because his son was having a hard time destroying his strength every day? Xiao Liuzi is already quite old. In this era, it is tradition for men to marry early.
It was at this time that poor Zhang Hanqing was branded as a romantic. Looking at the subordinates in front of him who had their own thoughts, he thought sadly: "Just once! Can a man's once-in-a-lifetime encounter be said to be lustful?"
Zhu Guangmu also fell into deep self-blame. As a close confidant of the young marshal's personal affairs, how could he not distinguish between public and private matters and prevent him from stepping down in public? The ancients all knew that it was taboo for the venerable, and these matters should have been settled by himself as the adjutant. You will gain wisdom after every experience, and it will not be the same next time!
For this reason, Zhang Hanqing would be looked down upon if he still hid it. He was a bachelor from the bottom of his heart (it was Zhang Xueliang himself). He announced that today's meeting was successfully concluded, and then walked out of the headquarters dejectedly under the unkind eyes of his subordinates.
The person coming is Red Peony.
After Cai E left the capital, Xiao Fengxian became like a good woman and waited wholeheartedly for General Cai to marry her riding on the colorful auspicious clouds. Red Peony often shuttles back and forth between Zhang Hanqing and her. As good sisters, although she enjoys being with Zhang Hanqing, she can't focus on sex over friendship, right? I will also accompany her when I have time.
Not only is Xiaofengxian willing to be lonely, she also often advises Red Peony to cherish the people in front of her.
Red Peony was also interested. This young marshal is young, handsome and capable, and his bed is harmonious, so he is a good match for me. It was certain that she was from a low background, but she would be satisfied if she could be a concubine in the young marshal's mansion. After thinking about it, my mind became stronger.
Zhang Hanqing didn’t tell her about the escape before leaving. Compared with Cai E, he was not so single. However, in extraordinary times, Cai E has learned from the past. If Lao Yuan arranges for someone to buy out Red Peony, it would be true to the saying that a hero falls in love with a beauty. There are often records of women doing bad things in history books, and Zhang Hanqing will not repeat the same mistakes. Appreciating women can't cost you your life, I still have this point in mind.
As soon as Zhang Hanqing left, Hong Mudan, like Xiao Fengxian, was under great pressure and was cross-examined for several days. Moreover, seeing that Zhang Hanqing was gone, the madam of Jiyun Class often sent people to harass her and persuade her to resume her career. Old business. The red peony reads all the joys and sorrows of the world, how can the flesh and blood business be as nourishing as the life of a concubine? Therefore, he rejected them, but also came up with the idea of ????looking for Zhang Hanqing.
Xiao Fengxian is now experienced in arranging escapes. Without further ado, she immediately purchased a train ticket to Fengtian privately. Then on a day that was extremely dangerous in my memory, Red Peony got on the train going north. My heart was pounding all the way, but it wasn't until it was announced that the train had passed Shanhaiguan that I felt at easeCome down.
Then he started worrying about gains and losses again: What if the young commander ignores him? He and I just met each other and acted on occasion. I heard that the young marshal's father has become the governor of Fengtian and the governor of Fengtian. Will his family look down on him? If so, what should I do if I am homeless?
It wasn’t until Zhang Hanqing appeared in front of her, dressed in military uniform and smiling, that she calmed down slightly. After not seeing him for half a year, Zhang Hanqing's appearance is even better than before. Although his skin is not as white and tender as when he was in Beijing, it looks healthier - the result of being beaten in the military camp for a long time. The beloved man in military uniform looked more majestic and taller, which surprised and loved Red Peony. But thinking about the frightening experiences I had experienced in the past few days, I couldn't help but shed tears.
Zhang Hanqing is also beautiful on the outside but worried on the inside. From the bottom of his heart, he is unwilling to marry a prostitute, even as a concubine. After all, he has the mentality of modern people, and he will never be able to pass the psychological hurdle. But people are here, and it’s because of what I said when I was in love, and I can’t live with it if I don’t settle my conscience properly. Starting with chaos and ending with abandonment is not Xiao Zhang's principle, no matter he is Zhang Hanqing or Zhang Xueliang.
Under the watch of all the sentries and a lot of cronies, our young marshal took the light luggage from Hong Mudan and said to her pleasantly: "It's so sudden. You should have told me earlier." , caught me off guard."
Hong Mudan was also upset under the gaze of a crowd of people. She asked softly: "Are you causing trouble?"
"It's so annoying," Zhang Hanqing said in his heart. But these words should never be said. Men should be responsible. He may not be able to marry her, but he can give her a stable life.
"It's okay, I'm just a little surprised." Zhang Hanqing said, looking at the woman in front of him: "I'll find you a place to live first."
Everyone can understand this. If you don’t know something clearly, you can’t take it to the Marshal’s house. Hong Mudan nodded slightly and said "Oh", letting him arrange it.
At this time, Zhu Guangmu wisely arranged a car and became the driver obediently. He didn't look sideways, didn't listen, and looked like an old monk in trance, which is exactly what an adjutant is.
The only woman I know in Fengtian is Han Shuxiu.
At this time, Han Shuxiu had already served as the director of the Fengtian Provincial Women's Federation. This is a new position, and its responsibility is to awaken women from all walks of life to unite and contribute to women's liberation and enlightenment of the people's wisdom. Han Shuxiu established a girls' school with her own help. In addition to educating literacy, she also taught some propaganda and organizational skills. Most of these women have inextricable relationships with the officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade, such as sisters, aunts, lovers, and wives. The men must follow the Young Marshal and the women must also unleash their potential. The plan that Zhang Hanqing has been conceived in his mind for a long time will soon be shouldered by them.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It's just that it feels ridiculous to have to rely on others to "transform" your own woman.
He naturally doesn’t know that romantic affairs are like flying. The story of an old friend from the capital who traveled thousands of miles to find his husband soon spread throughout the city of Fengtian. Ha, it turns out this guy likes women! It’s not that there are no weaknesses! Even if Zhang Hanqing arranged Red Peony among the women, it could not reduce the enthusiasm about him at all: "This is the rhythm of arranging the outer room."
Since then, many famous people have intentionally or unintentionally attracted beautiful girls to Zhang Hanqing. Zhang Hanqing was not a fuel-efficient lamp before he traveled through time, so he was naturally itchy. The heart that was ready to move when the red peony arrived was now completely revived.
Zhang Zuolin wholeheartedly agreed with Zhang Hanqing’s arrangement of Red Peony. How many heroes and heroes have fallen for women since ancient times? In any case, Xiao Liuzi can know how to avoid the limelight, which in itself is a sign of maturity. But how to arrange this woman needs careful consideration. When he asked about the status of Red Peony in private, Zhang Hanqing did not hide it, and there was no way he could hide it. After "understanding" that she was purely Zhang Hanqing's lover, Lao Zhang became calm.
"This woman cannot enter the Zhang family under any circumstances! Xiao Liuzi, there are many good women in the world, but we can't mess up on such a matter and let others look down on us." These were Lao Zhang's exact words. After experiencing gangsters and being an official, he took his own face very seriously.
In fact, Zhang Hanqing also regretted it. He should never have entertained the idea of ??a long-term war of resistance and ransomed her out of nowhere. Of course, he didn't spend much money, and Red Peony's private money was more than his ransom. Many, but even if Red Peony believed that she was "redeemed" by him, it was inconvenient for him to deny it.
"It was originally to deal with Lao Yuan's nonsense. Who knew it would turn out to be a fake show? Now that people are here, I have to settle her down. Her daily food and clothing expenses are still up to me. Take responsibility until she finds a good family." Zhang Hanqing took care of everything very responsibly. Of course, one reason he didn't mention was: working in the military camp all day long to fight against evil spirits requires yin and yang to reconcile.
The rumors have already been out, so why bother yourself and both parties? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Stop and talk. I will still be responsible for her daily food and clothing until she finds a good home. "Zhang Hanqing took care of everything very responsibly.

Chapter 141 Past Events

Zhang Zuolin is very pleased with Zhang Hanqing's performance during this period. He did not regard his family status as "noble" and mingled with middle- and lower-ranking officers and even soldiers. This was what Zhang Zuolin meant in running the army. This is also what storytellers say has the "style of a general" in ancient and modern times.
“This little six is ??smart, has a lot of clever ideas, and can endure hardships. These are all quite eye-catching advantages. However, Zhang Hanqing's occasional jokes and romantic stories still gave Zhang Zuolin a bit of a headache. He is a bit like an older child, and he still can't get rid of bad tastes. What should he do?
Aren’t you young? Giving him a home might tie up this bad horse, right? After all, the sign of a man's maturity begins with having a woman. Moreover, Xiao Liuzi is not young anymore. Senior officials in Fengtian are also rushing to introduce their female relatives and relatives to him. What is the purpose? Lao Zhang has been hanging out for so many years, so he naturally has a good network.
But Lao Zhang had a strong idea in his heart. He had already booked a wife for his eldest son. That was eight years ago.
Eight years ago, in April 1908, Zhang Zuolin led thousands of troops to Zhengjiatun, the seat of Liaoyuan Prefecture. As soon as I arrived at Zhengjiatun, I couldn't help but frown. Although Zhengjiatun is the seat of the government office of Liaoyuan Prefecture and is known as the "Sand Desert Treasure Road", there are only two streets crowded with small shops, and the housing is very tight. Not only did the thousands of cavalry he brought with him have no place to station, even his headquarters could not find suitable accommodation.
The officer who was looking for a house came back and reported that there was a grain store on West Street that was suitable for a headquarters. Zhang Zuolin rode to West Street and dismounted at the gate with the plaque "Feng Ju Chang" hanging on it. When I walked into the courtyard, I saw that the courtyard was neat and spacious. The owner of the grain store, whose surname is Yu, is Yu Wendou, and his ancestral home is Haiyang County, Shandong Province. During the Tongzhi period, following the wave of immigrants from Guandong, they settled in Zhengjiatun.
At the end of Guangxu's reign, Yu Wendou was elected president of the local chamber of commerce. Due to Zhengjiatun's remote location, wealthy businessmen became targets of bandits. "Fengjuchang" is the most famous local store, and it has become an important target for bandits to rob, and the Yu family has suffered greatly. Yu Wendou was overjoyed when he heard that "Master Wang" was coming to suppress bandits, and that the leader was the "hero of suppressing bandits" in western Liaoning. He immediately asked Zhang to go indoors and served him the best tea with enthusiasm. Zhang Zuolin was very happy and said: "Then I will set up the bandit suppression headquarters in your 'Fengjuchang'. What do you think?" Julien nodded: "I can't ask for it! I can't ask for it!" In this way, "Fengjuchang" will have enough food. The stack became the bandit suppression headquarters.
President Yu is hospitable and talkative, while Commander Zhang is loyal and courteous. Over time, the two have become old acquaintances who talk about everything.
Once, Zhang Zuolin led a cavalry team to go deep into the Greater Khingan Mountains to suppress bandits. All the way through the mountains and ridges, the rebels fought and fled. At sunset, the rebels fled into the wilderness. Zhang's team was exhausted after fighting for a day and was resting in a village. The cunning rebels fought back at night and surrounded the village. Zhang's team failed to take precautions and broke through hastily, resulting in heavy losses. In order to preserve his strength, Zhang hurriedly ordered his soldiers to stop breaking out and wait for reinforcements. The two sides faced off for a long time, and reinforcements have not yet arrived. Just when Zhang Zuolin was desperate, Wu Junsheng, who lived in Zhengjiatun, urgently transferred a team of light cavalry from Taonan to help, and Zhang Zuolin survived.
It turns out that Yu Wendou was extremely anxious when he learned the news that Zhang Zuolin was surrounded. He told the news to Wu Junsheng, a fellow Shandong man, and persuaded Wu Junsheng, so that the scene of the wasteland rescue happened. Zhang was so grateful for Yu Wen's life-saving grace that he took the initiative to form a blood alliance with Yu Wendou and "form a sworn alliance with Jinlan". The life-and-death friendship between Zhang Zuolin and Wu Junsheng was established at this time.
Since being rescued in the wasteland, Zhang Zuolin always feels uneasy every time he sits across from Yu Wendou. It seemed like there was something indescribable flowing out of his blood vessels. He didn't know if it was gratitude? Is it guilt? Or something else that disturbed his energy and unable to fully concentrate.
One day, he and Yu Wendou were chatting. A little girl came to the living room with a book. She timidly walked up to Yu Wendou, opened the book, pointed to a line of words in the book with her little finger, and asked: " Dad: What does this sentence mean?"
Zhang Zuolin suddenly felt his eyes light up: he finally found a way to repay!
Zhang Zuolin looked at the little girl in front of him, who was pretty and pretty, and guessed that her age should be about the same as his son "Xiao Liuzi". If "Xiao Liuzi" is allowed to marry the little girl in front of him, will this be some repayment for his life-saving grace? Then I thought again, I should be cautious about the marriage of my children. Do their birth dates match? Are temperaments compatible? His head was spinning at high speed, and the little girl was holding the book and jumping out of the room. Yu Wendou saw that Zhang Zuolin was a little dazed, and guessed that he might be thinking about suppressing bandits again, so he said, "It's getting late, let's take a rest early."
Return to your own homeAll this time, the figure of the little girl and "Little Liu Zi" was always lingering in front of Zhang Zuolin. After that, as soon as he returned to "Changjufeng", Zhang Zuolin wanted to see the little girl. As soon as he saw the little girl, he naturally thought of "Xiao Liuzi".
This idea born from the emotion of gratitude has always been in my mind. Say it, there are many question marks that have no clear answers; don’t say it, they linger vaguely. When leading troops in war, he is like "pulling carrots from the sand—quickly and neatly." When dealing with such matters, he is really a bit like "cutting flesh with a blunt knife—not neatly." It wasn't until the next summer that an accidental opportunity prompted him to make up his mind.
One day, Yu Wendou heard a fortune teller shouting on the street, so he sent someone to invite the fortune teller to his home. The fortune teller was over fifty years old and blind. He said he came from Guanli.
Yu Wendou asked: "Excuse me, sir, what method do you use to tell fortunes?"
The fortune teller replied: "Zi Ping Shu."
The so-called "Ziping Technique" is what the folks call "Piping Ba Zi". In the early Song Dynasty, a man named Xu Ziping was famous for "Piping Ba Zi", so fortune tellers often call this method "Zi Ping Technique". Yu Wendou is a businessman, he meets a lot of people, and he is no stranger to fortune-telling.
Yu Wendou told the fortune teller that Yu Fengzhi was born on the eighth day of the fifth lunar month in the 23rd year of Guangxu's reign.
The fortune teller pinched his fingers and muttered for a long time, and finally said loudly: "This woman is the 'Feng Ming', the fate of your lady".
Yu Wendou listened and wrote down what the fortune teller said on a piece of paper.
Just as I was sending the fortune teller away, I suddenly heard soldiers outside the door shouting: "Commander Zhang is here!"
Zhang Zuolin entered the room and saw everyone in the Yu family smiling happily around a table. There were several pieces of paper covered with writing on the table. Zhang picked up a piece of paper and saw it written on it: "Yu Feng Zhi", "Feng Ming"
Zhang Zuolin thought to himself: "Fengzhi, what an auspicious name! Fengzhi, Fengzhi, all the way to the queen. So, whose family she will fall into, isn't it the emperor's family?" "Xiao Liuzi" means "the tiger son of the general". , if you marry the "fengfeng daughter" of the Yu family again, you might even sit on the throne in the future.
In that era of war and chaos, three-year-old Puyi could become emperor. It is normal for Zhang Zuolin, who has always been conceited, to have such hopes. Besides, who doesn’t have the idea of ??“hoping for their children to become successful”? "Fengzhi" was originally a common name, but for a warrior who was eager to find a way to repay his gratitude, and for a traditional peasant who only knew that being an emperor was the best, it was natural for it to induce some outrageous whims.
As for what "phoenix fate" is, no one can tell clearly. Fortune telling itself is superstitious. But it provides a new clue to clarify the year of Yu Fengzhi's birth. Zhang Xueliang himself said that Yu Fengzhi was three years older than him, so Yu should have been born in 1898, and some books say it was 1899. Recently I saw a memoir written by Yu Fengzhi's nephew Yu Zhaoying, saying that Yu Fengzhi was born in 1897. Comparing the fortune teller's statement that she was "Feng Ming", Yu Fengzhi should have been born in 1897. Because this year is the Year of the Rooster in China, "rooster" is often referred to as "phoenix" in ancient Chinese classics. Most fortune tellers are people who follow the wind and catch shadows. Therefore, the fortune teller said that she is the "phoenix". . Based on this, we have reason to infer that Yu Fengzhi was born in 1897.
The four words "Feng Ming" and "Feng Zhi" were deeply imprinted in Zhang Zuolin's mind. Taking a closer look at this "Feng Ming daughter", the more he looked at it, the more delicate, noble and intelligent he felt. Therefore, I made up my mind to marry the Zhang family and the Yu family. Zhang Zuolin said to Wen Dou: "I have a blind man named Bao who is very proficient in Yin Yang Bagua and Ma Yi Shen Xiang. Can I take Feng Zhi's hexagrams back and let Blind Bao do the math again?" Yu Wendou nodded in agreement. . The fortune tellers all memorized what was written in the book. The birth dates and horoscopes were the same, so the words they told were almost the same. Zhang Zuolin further believed that Zhang Xueliang, the "tiger in the general door", and Yu Fengzhi, the "daughter of a phoenix," were really made for each other. Within a few days, Zhang Zuolin asked someone to formally propose marriage to the Yu family and settled the marriage.
At the end of 1910, because Zhang Zuolin made great achievements in suppressing bandits, the Qing government wanted to reward him with honors as usual, but Zhang Zuolin did not want it. The imperial court separated the merits and awarded Zhang Zuolin's mother a imperial title, and Zhang Zuolin's eldest son Zhang Xueliang a fifth-rank household doctor, similar to the treatment of today's Ministry of Finance clerks. Zhang Xueliang wore a red hat at the age of 11. This was probably the last red hat awarded to Northeasterners by the Qing Dynasty. The next year, the Qing Dynasty fell, and Zhang Zuolin was appointed commander of the 27th Army Division, becoming the most powerful figure in Fengtian.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As power and status rises, their eyes are fixed on the next bigger goal, and old friends and past events that have little impact on the future gradually fade out of their memories. Zhang Zuolin is not such a person. He always keeps in mind even a little kindness to those who are kind to him, and does everything possible to draw useful nutrients for the future from the past events he has experienced.
Speaking more broadly, this is also Zhang Zuolin’s personality charm. Having established such an illustrious family fortune in the Northeast and having almost all of his old subordinates follow him for life, if not for this kind of loyalty and loyalty, how could we have subdued those arrogant and powerful generals in the Northeast?

Chapter 142 Dragon and Phoenix Fate
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The marriage of the two younger generations has gone through a lot of ups and downs.
When Zhang Xueliang was 11 years old, his biological mother Zhao passed away in Xinmin's home. Xueliang followed his sister Zhang Shoufang and his younger brother Zhang Xueming to Fengtian City. Although Zhang Zuolin has become a lieutenant general and division commander and has many affairs in the army, every time he sees Zhang Xueliang, he can't help but think of the "holy daughter" from Zhengjiatun. One night in the winter of this year, Zhang Zuolin finished his official duties and said to Zhang Xueliang: "You have grown up and should have a wife. A few years ago, when your mother was alive, I arranged a marriage for you. You Xiao, I never told you that the girl is from Zhengjiatun in the north."
When Zhang Xueliang heard that he was from Zhengjiatun, his face turned red and he thought, there is no girl suitable for me in such a big Fengtian city? Why did you choose to book a village girl in a rural town? Zhang Zuolin didn't even look at Zhang Xueliang. He pulled the sticky bean buns in the brazier with his hands and said to himself: "This girl is good at everything. She is just a few years older than you. She is very delicate and has a good name." It sounds nice, it’s called Fengzhi, it means the phoenix flew to our house, what do you think?”
Zhang Xueliang muttered: "I'm not familiar with the person, I've never met him in person, there is no such big city like Fengtian"
Zhang Zuolin turned over the sticky bean buns in the brazier again. He said slowly: "I am a person who came here. This matter between men and women is no different from the sticky bean buns in the brazier. The bean buns are frozen at first, and they slowly melt after being placed in the brazier. Finally, Isn’t it hot?! People grow from raw to mature. After the New Year, you will know for yourself when you go to Zhengjiatun and take a look."
As Zhang Xueliang grew up day by day, the "No. 1 Young Master of Fengtian" met famous ladies and beauties of all kinds in Fengtian, Peiping, Tianjin, and Shanghai. He became increasingly dissatisfied with this village girl who was three years older than him and refused to visit him. blind date. But in the Zhang family, everything Zhang Zuolin spits is like nails. How could Zhang Xueliang not know that? Just after the Spring Festival in 1913, Zhang Xueliang came to Zhengjiatun for a blind date at the urging of his father, full of dissatisfaction and helplessness.
As soon as he got out of the car, Zhang Xueliang felt cold. This was not an ancient town, it was just a large, desolate and shabby village. There was snow everywhere, there were not many people on the road, and there were only a few decent low houses on both sides of the street. The most conspicuous thing is that there are a few frozen donkey dung eggs on the thick white snow under the feet, which are blown all over the street by the whistling north wind. He didn't believe there could be any "pretty girls" in this place. After playing for a few days, I returned to Fengtian without even asking where the gate of "Changjufeng" opened.
Zhang Zuolin doted on Zhang Xueliang very much, because on the day his son was born, he happened to win his first battle. He believed that his son was a good omen and noble person given by God, so the marriage was decided according to Zhang Xueliang's temperament, and he spent a lot of time living and drinking.
The Yu family heard that Zhang Xueliang, who came for a blind date, went back without showing up, and felt extremely humiliated. At the beginning, Yu Fengzhi advocated that "reaching a high position will bring contempt", and she was right. Yu Fengzhi once again proposed to annul the engagement. Her mother advised her: "Xueliang is young and it will be fine if he grows up. Since the parents of the two families make the final decision on this marriage, it is nothing if the children have a temper. As long as the parents of the Zhang family do not raise it, we have no reason to ruin it." marriage". Yu Fengzhi is a very filial and quiet girl. After hearing what her mother said, she could only bow her head and remain silent again.
Zhang Xueliang returned to Fengtian from Zhengjiatun, ready to be scolded. But unexpectedly, Zhang Zuolin did not mention Yu Fengzhi's matter to Zhang Xueliang for a long time. As a result, Zhang Xueliang felt a little embarrassed. What's going on? Did dad agree to break off the engagement?
of course not! It turned out that around 1913, the political situation was changing, and he could not take care of family chores. All his thoughts were devoted to dealing with complex political affairs, and Zhang Xueliang's marriage was put on hold. Zhang Zuolin has a habit. He often divides the things to be done into priorities in his mind, breaks down big goals into several small goals, and concentrates time and energy on solving key issues in a period. When several problems appeared at the same time, he would focus on the big ones and let go of the small ones, and slow down the urgent ones. To become a powerful hero later on, you still need a few tools.
Now that the situation in Fengtian has basically stabilized, it is time to consider Zhang Hanqing’s marriage. Moreover, it has been more than three years since the death of Zhang Xueliang’s biological mother, Zhao, and the period of mourning has passed. However, after Zhang Xueliang entered the provincial capital, he made many British and American friends and was exposed to some Western ideas of "discipline and freedom", so he was very disgusted with "parents' orders" and "matchmaker's words" in marriage. Zhang Xueliang emphasized that marriage should be based on feelings. He did not object to repaying a favor, but he did not understand how to use the marriage of children to repay a favor.
Zhang Zuolin was at his wits end. Suddenly, the political situation suddenly changed. Xiao Liuzi was taken as a hostage into Beijing, and now he saw the world. In the capital, the eldest son had great fame and fortune. After doing many things for himself, he could not but respect him.??Son’s thoughts.
"However, Xiao Liuzi has undergone tremendous changes after returning to the throne. First of all, he is more responsible and able to endure hardships. This is completely the image of a good man. Fengtian City praised Zhang Zuolin's heart as a "tiger son", and he firmly believed that he needed a "phoenix" to match his son. In order to appease his heart, Zhang Zuolin almost responded to his requests - taking charge of the Guard Brigade was such a big thing, even if Zhang Hanqing was glamorous, he would not rise to the top in one fell swoop, why not put some weight on his reasoning first!
The appearance of Red Peony made him determined to show off his cards again.
On a dark and stormy night, Zhang Zuolin called Zhang Hanqing and said bluntly: "Xiao Liuzi, it's time to start a family for you, otherwise that woman's affairs will destroy you. I told you before Girl from the Yu family, how are you thinking about it now? If you have no objection, I plan to get married for you this year."
Zhang Hanqing has actually been thinking about this matter for a long time. Now that he has fully integrated into Zhang Xueliang's body, he can naturally handle his own major affairs according to the standards of this era. He is in charge of the Guard Brigade and can be regarded as a "young and promising". It is not a good thing to have more women around him at this time: he already has needs through the development of Red Peony, but he does not have time to find out whether these women are genuine or have some intentions. Please, he doesn't want to become the link of political marriage.
And Yu Fengzhi is already recognized by historical facts as a good wife and mother. This alone is enough, marry a virtuous wife. But when it came time to talk about marriage, I felt like I was laughing and crying.
"Where is this? Is this a top student from time-traveling going to marry a village girl?" Yu Fengzhi was considered a good wife and mother in the old society, but the matter of a common language cannot be summed up in one sentence. Now, just when Zhang Hanqing was making waves in the military, Ya didn't want marriage to drag down his development.
“His body is only 16 years old this year, and in future generations it will be no more than a junior high school graduate. Although early marriage is a very normal thing in this time and space, and his mental age is already more than 10 years older than the current shell, and it is absolutely acceptable physically, but the prerequisite for a happy marriage is love. After all, he also graduated with a master's degree in his previous life and was considered a top student. Now he unexpectedly wants to marry a "village girl" who is 4 years older than him and a complete stranger. It is really difficult to change his mind.
Zhang Hanqing is determined to use Zhang Xueliang’s good figure to attract all the beauties in the world. How can he accept that a woman will hold him back now? Although Aixinjueluo Bojie once praised Yu Fengzhi as "very beautiful", "She was born with a very classic face, delicate and delicate, like a lotus blooming in the lotus pond after the rain." That is. Because Pu Jie and Zhang Xueliang have a good relationship, the flattery of people cannot be taken seriously. As for the history books saying that Yu Fengzhi was "cultivated, talented and thoughtful, able to write poetic couplets and appreciate famous paintings", this kind of Spring and Autumn brushwork is even more questionable for Zhang Hanqing, who is proficient in history.
Although he knew that God was destined to marry Yu Fengzhi, he was always immersed in the advantages brought by his time travel. He always thought that because of his time travel, some things would change its original trajectory.
???????????????????????????????????????If Zhang Zuolin is a rising political star, he would rather marry Zhu Qiqian who lives in Jincheng. At least Miss Zhu San still looks very pleasing to the eye. I dare not say whether I am virtuous or not, but it is eye-catching! Logically speaking, Zhang Hanqing does not reject Feng Zhi, but he still wants to see the real person with his own eyes before making a final decision.
However, Zhang Zuolin's affectionate words still moved Zhang Hanqing: "This is what I promised the Yu family. If Fengzhi's father is still alive, there is still room for discussion on this matter. Now that Fengzhi's father is dead, the remaining They are orphans, widows and weak girls. From any point of view, the word "no" cannot be said from our Zhang family. The Yu family is kind to the Zhang family. Can we still be considered a kind and righteous person if we know the kindness but don't repay it? "
Yes, Zhang Hanqing can’t refute it after learning from books about the effectiveness of this kind of “parents’ orders and matchmaker’s words” in ancient times. Otherwise, not only might Yu Fengzhi be deceived - but what would she do if the two of them eventually fell out? Moreover, he will appear ungrateful. After all, every move he makes now represents the image of the Zhang family. Divorcing one's wife after being rich is despised by Chinese orthodoxy.
"Forget it, Yu Fengzhi has always been affectionate and loyal to her in history. After Zhang Xueliang divorced her, she bought a piece of land in New York, saying that she would keep it until he could retire and use the same acupoint after his death. No matter what, I can't owe her anything now. Seeing that Zhang Hanqing seemed to be interested, Zhang Zuolin struck while the iron was hot: "Your first wife must listen to me. If you don't agree with the old-style marriage, after you get married to the daughter of the Yu family, ask your daughter-in-law to follow your mother (referring to the step-wife Mrs. Lu) )alright."
Zhang Hanqing still wants to make the final struggle: "Since the marriage is scheduled, I will not object, but I am very busy now. Let's talk about the marriage in a few years."
Being busy is always the best excuse. When he became an adult, his parents had never urged him to get married. They used this word to prevaricate each time, but it never worked. Zhang Hanqing naturally used this "drag" tactic. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)p; Being busy is always the best excuse.

Zhang Zuolin is a seasoned man. He finally relaxed, so why can't he take advantage of the victory and pursue it? Zhizi Mo Ruofu, the red peony, although of low status, is still pretty, Zhang Hanqing has already developed an appetite at a young age, and he will definitely not restrain himself when it comes to women. If you don't give him reassurance, this matter will not go smoothly today. He thought about it and said, "If you don't agree with this marriage, I won't care if you find other women outside after you marry Feng Zhi." For Zhang Zuolin, it is really not a stain for a man to marry several concubines. , as long as Yu Fengzhi becomes the main wife, it is enough.
This is acceptable! These words were enough. In an instant, Zhang Hanqing decided to give up. The situation is irreversible, so why insist on clinging to dogma and not knowing how to respond? Zhang Hanqing is very talented in adapting to changes. He thinks like this: "If people can't change the environment, they have to adapt to the environment." Then he thought with self-satisfaction: "My ability to adapt is still very strong!"
Zhang Zuolin put a lot of effort into the marriage of his eldest son, and spent a lot of brain cells in the past few years. The eldest son and his daughter-in-law are very grand in Chinese tradition. Now that Zhang Hanqing is relieved, he will strike while the iron is hot. Fearing that the night would be long and full of dreams, he personally contacted two famous shops in Fengtian and asked the newly married Mrs. Shou to help select a large amount of gold and silver jewelry and many valuable items as betrothal gifts. He planned to choose a good day in the near future for Zhang Hanqing to come to propose marriage in person, and It was decided that the two of them would get married on August 8 this year, the day of the Beginning of Autumn.
“Marriage in this era is somewhat similar to modern times. It is still a trilogy of agency, engagement and marriage. Zhang Zuolin attaches great importance to this marriage. Although he is a big boss, it does not prevent him from making grand preparations using the ancient customs of Three Books and Six Etiquettes. Who knows that he has many retainers who know the ancient customs of Three Books and Six Etiquettes.
The first step is called nacai, which is to propose marriage. The original appointment with Yu Wendou was so effective that it was equivalent to the "letter of appointment" among the "three letters";
The second step of asking for names has been done a long time ago. If it weren't for the eloquent name "Feng Zhi", Zhang Zuolin wouldn't be so insistent;
The third step of Naji is to combine the eight characters, and the two of them have already joined together: "The tiger son of the general" and the "fengming daughter" are a match made in heaven and earth, which is rare in the world (Zhang Hanqing: This fortune teller is really eloquent, it's hard for him) ;
The fourth step is to collect gifts, also known as the gift, which is to bring gifts to the door. This is what Zhang Hanqing is doing now. It is convenient to take the railway from Fengtian to Zhengjiatun. Follow the Nanman Railway to the north, pass Tieling to Siping, and the road is flat. But when you get to Siping, you need to take a carriage to Zhengjiatun. At this time, the railway branch line has not yet been laid here.
There is also a "Book of Rites" in his hand, which can be regarded as the second book among the "Three Books". It was rare for Zhang Hanqing to go to his future mother-in-law's house, so Zhang Zuolin decided to combine the "recruitment" and "application period", and set it on August 8. Normally, the man must complete the "requesting period" at least one month before the marriage, which means that the man's family will choose an auspicious day for the marriage and seek the consent of the woman's family. The days are a bit urgent, but I guess the Yu family won’t deny it, right?
After completing this step, it’s time to go to the last step of welcoming her. Zhang Hanqing has seen this guy a lot, so isn’t it just to marry the bride into the bridal chamber? It’s still a little early. Naturally, the third book of the "Three Books", the "Ying Shu", was handed in at that time.
It was the first time for Zhang Hanqing to visit his mother-in-law, whether in his previous life or in this life.
As the young master of the provincial capital of Fengtian, he could have had better transportation benefits, but he still chose to ride a horse. Firstly, there is no need to go through a lot of trouble when transferring trains, and one has to hire local carriages; secondly, the land reform method that has been scheduled for a long time requires site selection. Take a walk and take a look, it may be of great help to your own reform ideas.
What he saw along the way made Zhang Hanqing intuitively realize for the first time the current predicament that the Northeast is in: Let alone the presence of Japanese troops stationed in Fengtian, forget about the presence of troops stationed in Tieling, Siping and Changchun. The key is that the Japanese have surrounded both sides of the railway. A large amount of land made both sides of the South Manchuria Railway a private area for the Japanese. Because these places are large cities formed in history, with fertile land, abundant resources, and convenient transportation, they are prosperous. However, the large areas leading to the junction of Jilin and Mongolia are sparsely populated and have rugged and difficult roads. The two strokes form a strong contrast. There is also sufficient water here. If crops are not grown in such a large area, wouldn’t it be a waste of good fields? When the Northeast can reclaim wasteland like this, the prosperity of the Northeast will be just around the corner.
After passing through the Sutai River, the situation changed again. The East Liao River and the West Liao River meet at the border of Kangping County. At this time, the water flow is very fast, and the water volume is much larger than the Sutai River. Perhaps because of this, there are many boats on the river that shuttle between the north and the south, doing water transportation. Less than a hundred miles north, you will see an almost deserted dock, and two waterways can be vaguely traced upwards.?This is where the depression lies. He thought it was Zhengjiatun, curled his lips and said: "Zhengjiatun is nothing more than that, and it is said to be an important trade town."
History books say that Yu Fengzhi’s beauty and the Yu family’s prosperity are great. After I actually provided evidence, the dark mentality of “getting both people and money” disappeared. How can the Yu family prosper in such a depressed place? In this case, the beauty of the fiancée described in the book is most likely "taboo". This made him a little disappointed, and he was worried about gains and losses. The beautiful longing for a new life that he finally aroused was like a broken pig's urine bubble.
As the representative of Zhang Zuolin’s side, Zhang Zuoxiang served as the general manager of Zhang Hanqing’s trip. He was well-informed and smiled at Zhang Hanqing and said: "Zhengjiatun is still far away. This place is called Sanjiangkou, which was originally the terminal wharf for tracing the Liaohe River. In the past, Sanjiangkou was the wharf of Zhengjiatun, and Zhengjiatun was the main street of Sanjiangkou. Therefore, Zhengjiatun was once known as the "Sand Desert Treasure Road". Later, King Darhan allowed the waterway to be extended to Zhengjiatun, and the wharf was naturally moved to the bank of the Xiliao River near Zhengjiatun, and was called the Liaohe Wharf. The ships we have seen these days , if you go north, you will end at Zhengjiatun. As far south as you can reach Yingkou, because Zhengjiatun is a must-visit place for merchants traveling from north to south, so business is booming, and the people are as wealthy as Fengtian. It's just smaller in scale. "
When he talked about this matter, he said humorously: "Young Marshal, I heard that your Taishan master originally came from Haiyang County, Shandong Province, to Guandong, and settled in Zhengjiatun. Zhuang 'Feng Ju Chang' became the first wealthy household in Fengtian. If not for the wealth here, how could the Yu family be where it is today?"
Zhang Zuoxiang smiled slightly. He had always regarded Zhang Hanqing as his nephew, and of course he would be very concerned about his emotional changes. Zhang Xueliang has always been resistant to this marriage. This matter has made everyone in Fengtian know about it. He feels that he has the obligation to enlighten him. Otherwise, how can he not come to the house with a smile?
Zhang Hanqing was pleased: As long as the name is not inconsistent with the reality, it will be fine. It doesn't matter whether the Yu family has money or not. What's important is that the description of Yu Fengzhi as a beauty in the history books and biographies must be correct. Otherwise, how can I be in the mood to face the yellow-faced wife of the principal wife every day? Once your mood gets better, you will suddenly feel that the surrounding scenery is pleasant, and even the people will become friendly.
??Fifty miles further to the northwest, you will feel that the population is getting denser and denser. Along a bluestone-paved road, we gradually drove into a noisy street. As soon as we stepped in, we saw rows of houses and blocks extending in all directions. It was noon at this time, which further showed the prosperity of this place. The team of dozens of people was lost in the crowd, and there was no wave at all. It was indeed a treasure-gathering place.
Zhang Zuoxiang introduced that Zhengjiatun has been famous throughout the country since ancient times as "the strategic location of the Liaohe River Channel", "a battleground for military strategists" and "an important town in the Northeast". It is said that in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhengjiatun area was still a vast prairie with flat sand and overgrown weeds. There is Bobotu Mountain 5 kilometers away from the urban area of ??Shuangliao City in Jilin Province. It was called Jinshan in ancient times. The famous Battle of Jinshan between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty took place here.
Legend has it that after Zhu Yuanzhang captured Beijing at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he quickly sent his general Feng Sheng to march into Kaiyuan in the northeast (now Kaiyuan City, Liaoning Province), and then marched northward, wiping out the remaining forces of the Yuan Dynasty entrenched in Jinshan in one fell swoop. To this day, relics of the ancient battlefield are still unearthed from time to time in the Bobotu Mountain area. It seems that you can still feel the sound of the people shouting and horses neighing and the golden drums beating in unison in the past battles. Zhang Hanqing was walking on the noisy street, but he was imagining how brave Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was to drive foreigners out of the country. Now our unscrupulous descendants are allowing the Japanese to dominate here. When will they be able to restore their former dignity?
The group of people stayed in the open air for four or five days, which was already very hard work. According to Zhang Zuoxiang's original intention, the group went directly to Yu's house, so that they could find a place to settle "for free" and show their sincerity in seeking marriage. But Zhang Hanqing had to understand Yu Fengzhi's situation first. His intention was to first understand the personality and appearance (mainly appearance) of the wife who was proposing to be married from the side, in case there was a big gap between Yu Fengzhi and himself. I will definitely return home resolutely, decisively and regardless of the consequences, and I will never care about the various temptations of my cheap dad. Although he married a virtuous wife, his cultivation was far from the level of Huang Di marrying his concubine Wuyan.
This is the true nature of a man!
Seeing his insistence, Zhang Zuoxiang thought that this was the right time, so he had no choice but to find a rather large hotel. Looking at the word "Home" on the sign made Zhang Hanqing feel at home. After all, in his previous life, didn't he always choose these cost-effective hotels that were "favored" by Taiwan-funded enterprises every time he went on a business trip?
The exhausted group decided to check in.
Zhang Hanqing took a nice hot bath and washed away the travel dust all over his body. When I feel comfortable, I can't help but think that one day when I have enough money, I must build a railway directly to here. Otherwise, wouldn't it be very inconvenient for Yu Fengzhi every time I go back to my parents' home? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??Convenient?

Chapter 144 Matchmaking

Historically, it is said that Yu Fengzhi was born in Daquanyan Village, Huaide County (now Nanweizi Township, Gongzhuling City). He went to Zhengjiatun at the age of 5, entered a private school at the age of 10, and was admitted to Fengtian Women's Normal School at the age of 16. Yu Fengzhi spent his entire life in Zhengjiatun. Teenage years. You must know that it was not easy for women to go to school in the early days of the Republic of China, and those who achieved success were even rarer. For such a talented woman from a small place and a prominent family background, it is impossible for her not to be famous. Zhang Hanqing pretended to be a student on a trip (this costume was the most resemblance to him), while eating in a fairly simple restaurant and asking about Yu Fengzhi's situation.
People in this small place are very simple, or in other words, the Yu family is very popular here. When several people around him gave thumbs up to this girl at home, Zhang Hanqing was half relieved and looked forward to it in his heart. When Zhang Zuoxiang, who was at the next table pretending to be a businessman, asked about the current situation of the Yu family, a middle-aged man came in and sat next to him. He said appreciatively: "I can't say how the old shopkeeper of the Yu family treats people. It's just a pity. ."
Zhang Zuoxiang deliberately said something cliché, so he would naturally praise him: "What's a pity?"
The man said: "It's a pity that the old shopkeeper Yu has known countless people in his life, but he missed it once!"
Zhang Zuoxiang was also lucky enough to hear a lot about Zhang Zuolin’s family. Yu Wendou was able to rise from poverty to the richest man in Fengtian. His legend naturally has many remarkable features. Yu Wendou has a keen eye for knowing people, and getting to know Zhang Zuolin in Caomang was a key part of his later success. Now that some people are saying that he is wrong, of course he must listen. At the moment, he said calmly: "Oh, this is the first time I heard about it. I would like to hear the details." Even Zhang Hanqing pricked up his ears to find out the gossip about his deceased father-in-law.
The man told the story enthusiastically: "The only time Mr. Yu made a mistake in his life was when he arranged for his daughter, whose nickname was Fengzhi, to arrange a splendid marriage."
"Old shopkeeper Yu once saved the life of Marshal Zhang, who is now Fengtian. The two had a life-long friendship. Dashuai Zhang and shopkeeper Yu had an engagement. The daughter of the Yu family was betrothed to Marshal Zhang's eldest son as his wife since she was a child. Ordinarily, Dashuai Zhang is a big shot, so his son should also be extraordinary, right? Who would have known that he was actually a dandy who had seen a lot in the provincial capital and looked down on the daughter of the Yu family. He thought that a golden phoenix could not emerge from the ravine, but he was so slow to do so. I’d like to come and get engaged!”
Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but shudder after hearing this. Reputation is hard to come by, but it is easy to destroy it.
Someone nearby complained: "The Yu family girl is a good girl who is hard to find under a lantern. If she hadn't been delayed by that prodigal son, who in this big family with a radius of hundreds of miles wouldn't want to marry the Yu family?"
Others echoed: "But knowing that the in-laws of the Yu family are the marshals of Fengtian City, whoever dares to stroke the tiger's beard and come to snatch the bride is not asking for death? Marshal Zhang has a beard and has killed countless people."
Justice is in the hearts of the people, but ordinary people have a simple moral outlook, and they don’t care whether they are handsome or handsome. Of course, if Zhang Zuolin hadn't been far away in Fengtian, it's unclear whether they would have said this, but after all, moral support for the Yu family is an essential quality for every conscientious Chinese, and the voices of condemnation and contempt could be heard all of a sudden. Everyone showed the same attitude as Zhang Zuolin.
The middle-aged man immediately stopped slandering the Zhang family and said with a smile: "You can't say that. When it comes to Marshal Zhang, I have to give him a thumbs up. You are such a man. This Marshal Zhang never forgets his roots and keeps talking about it. This marriage was made with the deceased shopkeeper Yu back then. I cannot break my promise, so I insisted that my son, the young marshal of the Zhang family, marry the daughter of the Yu family. It is really respectable and admirable."
??The people around them nodded. There are a lot of Chen Shimei these days. Zhang Zuolin deserves praise for being so kind and righteous.
The middle-aged man seemed to be an insider: "The young marshal came to the Yu family for a blind date on his father's orders a few years ago, but he only focused on shopping, watching theater and listening to music. After playing for eight or nine days, he sent someone to deliver the betrothal gift to the Yu family. List, but he walked around the city and left without saying goodbye, thinking that the Yu family was trying to curry favor with the Zhang family, which already held the military and political power in Fengtian Province. This incident caused a big fuss, and the Yu family was disgraced. The daughter of the Yu family was very angry, so she Explain to her mother, Mrs. Yu, that she does not agree with this marriage, the Yu family is not a people who follow the trend!"
Someone said, "What happened next? Did the Yu family stop the marriage? It's okay not to have such a marriage!" This was an outsider who couldn't help but interject. A fierce woman and a tough guy, she is respected by her countrymen.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "Mrs. Yu is not a person who follows people's influence, but she is a sensible person. This marriage was a major event for the children arranged by the old shopkeeper Yu during his lifetime. How could she, a womanly family, ruin it with her own words? She doesn't care about the daughter of the family. Said, "We in the Yu family can't do anything that breaks our marriage and the contract. If we want to do it, only the Zhang family can propose it first." So, the Yu family can only endure this matter, and the marriage has been dragging on. But it doesn't matter if the Zhang family drags it on. , the daughter of the Yu family is notHow can it be spent like this! "
There was a burst of boos from the crowd. It is a traditional Chinese moral virtue not to divorce one's wife when one is rich or noble. The young marshal's behavior naturally aroused everyone's condemnation; but the Yu family's benevolence and righteousness made people have to respect it.
"But the daughter of the Yu family has gone to school after all. Although she obeyed her mother's orders obediently, she still couldn't do it. She glanced at the gift list, said nothing, picked up a pen and wrote four lines of poetry on the gift list. Give it to the young marshal to show her decisive attitude. She also plans to use this poem to make the young marshal of the Zhang family give up the marriage."
The curiosity of Chinese people is the greatest. The resistance of weak women to powerful people has always been a favorite story for the common people. During the off-season, there are no two people around, so it’s fun to listen to the stories. The middle-aged man's words successfully aroused everyone's appetite, and some people said: "The daughter of the Yu family can read and write, so the poems she writes must be very good."
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said: "I still remember this poem. It says, 'In ancient times, the Qin and Jin Dynasties have always been the first priority. Gifts are priceless, and it is difficult to win the hearts of women of the people.'"
Zhang Hanqing vaguely recalled the past of his body: After receiving the poem, Zhang Xueliang and his friends were shocked. There are really village girls in this world who don’t love money or power! It was Yu Fengzhi's poem as a return gift that made Zhang Xueliang look at her with admiration and saved the marriage that was about to die.
A burst of applause suddenly erupted from the crowd. Although the poems cannot be said to be very profound, and even have some problems with their mediocrity, their character is clearly visible. As a result, everyone unanimously praised the daughter of the Yu family for her attitude of not fearing the powerful. It is commendable that a young woman these days has such insight and decisiveness, and her courage is commendable. Between power and weakness, the Chinese have always sympathized with the weak.
Zhang Zuoxiang was hard to talk to, and Zhang Hanqing also felt a little ashamed. Although he was not talking about himself, but his own body, after all, he was the one in charge now. Unknown to others, all his followers were looking at him with smiles. These Qiu Ba, if you give them a good look, they dare to kick their noses and get angry. Go back and see how I treat them!
It seems that I have really lost my reputation in my parents-in-law’s house, which is not good. It doesn't matter if your reputation is ruined elsewhere, but your future wife's natal family will be in trouble.
The middle-aged man calmly expressed his position when the crowd was belittling the Zhang family: "Actually, it's not entirely the fault of the eldest son of the Zhang family. As the other party is a young marshal, he naturally has the habits of a young master. This marriage is about It's not what I like, of course I have some opinions, which is what a young man should do. However, I heard that Marshal Zhang from Fengtian sent someone to the house to discuss the marriage again, and the young marshal also came to propose the marriage in person, and prepared a rich meal The betrothal gift, it seems that the Zhang family is serious about marrying the daughter of the Yu family this time."
People are most interested in family affairs, weddings and funerals. Although marriages have twists and turns, they will be blessed if they eventually become married, as is the ancient custom. At that moment, someone said: "It would be great if they get married. After all, they are of the same family, and it fulfills the long-cherished wish of the elders of both parties." More people were interested in the betrothal gifts from the officials: "Shuai Zhang is sitting in Fengtian City, what? Don’t you have a baby? This betrothal gift must be extremely expensive.”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Who is the Yu family? Although the old shopkeeper Yu has passed away, the business of the Yu family is still there. I heard that this young lady of the Yu family got the true biography of the old shopkeeper Yu in the business field. In a few years, He actually made the Yu family the richest man in Fengtian! Think about the gold, silver and jewelry that you haven’t seen in the home of the richest man in Fengtian? Although the Zhang family is the commander-in-chief of Fengtian, in terms of wealth, it is not as good as the Yu family. Zhang Although the betrothal gift is expensive, I’m afraid the Yu family won’t be able to afford it.”
Someone asked: "Why is this?"
The middle-aged man said: "It is unusual to talk about the daughter of the Yu family. She once studied in the provincial capital of Fengtian. She likes to know books and be polite, and she is also interested in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although the Zhang family is rich in gifts, it is difficult to Call it your heart." Intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes glanced at Zhang Hanqing.
Zhang Zuoxiang, who had an important mission, paid attention. How could this man know so much about his family's situation? Judging from his tone, there is still an element of persuasion in him. At the moment, he just echoed and said with a smile: "It turns out that the daughter of the Yu family is such a refined and outstanding girl, which is unexpected. To think that the daughter of the Yu family is so elegant, there must be something exquisite in this Zhengjiatun? I will live my life I’m not familiar with the place, I wonder if this brother can tell me?”
When the middle-aged man saw that he was on the road, he saved a lot of politeness and said directly: "Why do you need to hide this? Just walk along the road to the east of the street from here, only two hundred steps away, there is a row of winding willows along the river, and there is a home." Shuiyunfang', there are many valuable calligraphy and paintings there, maybe someone will like them."
At this point in the conversation, as if he had completed his mission, the middle-aged man bowed his hands politely to Zhang Zuoxiang and his entourage, and said with a smile: "Gao takes his leave now, see you later." Zhang Zuoxiang knew something was wrong, so he thought about this chance encounter, I understood a lot in my heart, so I stood up and said with a smile, "Goodbye."
They didn’t know that in a teahouse facing the street, two beautifully dressed young women were quietly watching Zhang Hanqing and his party.

Chapter 145 Gathering

Zhang Hanqing was indeed hungry. He devoured a lot of food and still felt it was not enough. He was trying to get the store to bring more food. This made the two people staring at him snicker.
She is slightly younger, only about thirteen or fourteen years old. She is pretty and charming, and you can tell she is a beauty at a glance. The older one is only a few years older. She is also pretty and graceful, and her mature temperament is a bit more charming than the little girl.
The little girl giggled and said: "Our uncle doesn't eat the big fish and meat at home, but insists on eating rough food on the street. The same goes for my aunt. If she insists on seeing him, it's just because he is more handsome than others. Come on, what’s there to see! In the future, my uncle will marry my aunt back, and I’ll see enough of it every day.”
The older girl blushed with embarrassment, although it sounded like she was more senior. She showed dissatisfaction to the little girl to cover up her shyness. The eldest daughter who has not left home is so pitiable and lovable!
Looking at the middle-aged man and Zhang Hanqing and his group talking non-stop, the older girl's heart sank. Could it be that the young commander holds a grudge? Otherwise, why would uncle need to talk so much? Is that boy named Zhang so ignorant?
????????????????????????? Care leads to chaos, and the girl who cares about Young Master Zhang is none other than his unmarried wife, Yu Fengzhi. That middle-aged man, her uncle Gao Tianlei, was ordered to be here as the "marriage trustee" of the Yu family.
After "angsting" the young Zhang Xueliang, she regretted it. Ever since she wrote this poem and spread it among the people, she has already thought so: It is virtue for a woman to have no talent, so why should she try to rape her future husband? In the old society of "parents' orders, matchmaker's words", she could only silently bear this marriage with an uncertain future, blaming her happiness on fate. I just hope that my destined husband will not think that I am frivolous because of this incident, and thus become resentful of myself.
In fact, Zhang Hanqing’s every move is under the control of his family, including the “Home Inn” hotel where he stays.
As early as a few days ago, Zhang Zuolin asked someone to convey his greetings to Mrs. Yu, and said that he would send his eldest son to the Yu family to discuss the marriage in the near future, so that the Yu family could prepare early and inquire about the date of their marriage. meaning.
The new uncle is about to come, which has kept the Yu family busy for a while. From the moment Zhang Hanqing and his party arrived at Zhengjiatun, the "sentinel horses" dispatched by the Yu Mansion reported their every move to the government. The "Home Inn" hotel where Zhang Hanqing stayed is the property of the Yu family. Of course, the hotel owner regards their movements as a priority to report back to the Yu family.
"But Zhang Hanqing was unwilling to come to the door again, which made Mrs. Yu a little bit upset. It's one thing to be young and energetic and unwilling to do so. If you turn around and go back like last time, I'm afraid you'll have to go against your husband's last words and end the marriage yourself. After all, the Yu family can't afford to lose anymore. This person.
Finally, not without some temptation, Mrs. Yu’s brother and Yu Fengzhi’s uncle personally took action and pretended to be ordinary guests to approach Zhang Hanqing and his party. Zhang Hanqing's future uncle is a middle-aged man who has left behind his family roots.
" These words not only allowed the Yu family to vent their anger, but also pointed out remedies. Of course, as the in-laws of the future Zhang family, no one could be used to belittle the Zhang family, so after the uncle praised Yu Feng, he finally gave Zhang Hanqing a hint. If Zhang Hanqing and his party were still ignorant, even if this marriage was not a dirty one, my uncle would be scolding her in his heart.
Zhang Zuoxiang is a thoughtful person. The middle-aged man didn't say anything but he said a lot of words, as if he came just for them and his party. It is impossible to say that he has no intention. He watched the middle-aged man Shi Shiran walk out of the restaurant and quickly walk to the teahouse opposite. In the teahouse, there was clearly a young woman paying attention to him, and he began to worry about it.
This is the mother-in-law’s family who sent someone to see their future son-in-law!
No matter what, the middle-aged man’s words gave him an idea: since the middle-aged man had something to say, there must be someone waiting for that ‘Shuiyunfang’. It's time for Zhang Hanqing to make some amends. You must know that leaving without saying goodbye was a big deal among the people with strong self-esteem!
Zhang Zuoxiang looked at Zhang Hanqing who was eating indecently, and he laughed and cursed in his heart: "This boy doesn't know how to restrain himself in his father-in-law's territory. If I were the Yu family, I would slap you, a foodie, over your head!" He ordered a pot of tea for everyone to rinse with. He opened his mouth and said to Zhang Hanqing: "Hanqing, I'm thinking that the person just said it is right. In addition to the things on the gift list, should we also buy some names and play calligraphy and painting, so that it doesn't look too vulgar?"
Zhang Hanqing also pondered: "Yu Fengzhi has never been said to have a hobby of money in history. Maybe it is as that person said that calligraphy and painting can make people attracted. To say that these girls who have read books must have some Hypocritical, the Yu family is also rich and famousI'm afraid the gift really won't appeal to her. Regardless of success or failure, I can't let her look down upon me. After all, we are young marshals, and we are destined to be famous in history. Then he replied: "Okay, my nephew will go to the 'Shuiyunfang' later to have a look. If there are good calligraphy and paintings, he will also pick them up." "Inadvertently, he used the modern popular word "Taobao" for Taobao. Fortunately, Zhang Zuoxiang didn't pay attention.
Walking along the east side of the street, less than 200 steps, you will find a refreshing place. In the shade of green willows, the three words "Shuiyunfang" are hidden among them, and there is a stream across the fence. The two words "Shuiyun" and the scene complement each other, making it unique.
"Shuiyunfang" is not big, and there are only a few people there. Zhang Hanqing didn't understand these elegant things. Of course, he couldn't count on Zhang Zuoxiang, who was a soldier, so he had to look around aimlessly: choose the expensive ones, choose the old ones, and choose the authors he knows. These "three choices" ” was the premise of his decision.
But how many famous works can a small painting shop have? I didn't know anything about this stuff to begin with, so if I accidentally bought a fake, I would look down on it even more, not to mention the high price. Regardless of whether he wants to win the favor of his intended lover or not, he can't be called a fool or taken advantage of by her, right? However, when it comes to politics, military strategy and other pragmatic matters, he is very knowledgeable; even when it comes to economic and industrial construction, he can also do some unexpected miracles. Only these elegant matters are really not that area. material.
His melancholy was noticed by an older girl who was casually looking through calligraphy and paintings not far away, and she also enjoyed it. snort! Make you frivolous! After all the noise you made in Fengtian, I really thought you were an omnipotent young commander. But I am also grateful for the efforts he made for the marriage. After all, if he hadn't wanted to please himself, he wouldn't have been in this difficult situation.
Needless to say, Tian is our heroine Yu Fengzhi.
Zhang Hanqing, who was worried about everything, didn't notice anything strange around him: behind him, Zhang Zuoxiang had a brief chat with the middle-aged man he met in the restaurant, and then he wisely led the obstructive entourage to quietly drink tea together; The gallery owner also asked the middle-aged man to signal and calmly and quietly persuaded the customers to leave the store - needless to say, this is also the Yu family's property.
There are only two people left in the shop, a man and a woman. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 146 Testing

Immersed in it, Zhang Hanqing concentrated on searching for the "treasure" in his mind: among the famous calligraphers, he can think of Wang Xizhi, Dong Qichang, Su Huang, Mi and Cai, as well as Liu Gongquan and Yan Zhenqing, who had learned calligraphy. Others depended on their eyesight. Regarding painting, it is even worse: among painters, I have only heard of Zheng Banqiao who painted bamboo in the Qing Dynasty, and the only recent ones are Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi.
You can imagine the pressure of shopping in such a small store. Zhang Hanqing was flipping through it unconsciously and murmuring: "This is a reed. What does it mean to draw a bird? Whose painting is it? A few flowers that don't look like flowers or insects fell on it. The messy words below take up half of the page. Hey, is this called a painting? It’s a joke!”
Yu Fengzhi smiled, he was really a big idiot. She finally couldn't help but take action. Pointing to the painting in front of her, she said, "This is not a bird, but a reed goose. This is an early work by Bian Luyan, the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou" in the Qing Dynasty. His real name was Bian Shoumin. , so named because he is good at painting reed geese. Look at this painting, it uses a few sparse strokes to outline the flying reed geese in the reeds. It is vivid and simple, simple and elegant. Bian Shoumin's early paintings are a bit stiff and not as good as His late works. If you can get one of his later works, the price will be more than ten times that of his early works.
The latter picture is one of Huang Shen's "Album of Flowers, Birds, Grass and Insects" from the Qing Dynasty. You can see that it uses small farmhouse scenes in the painting, which is vivid and unique, and full of rustic flavor. But the painting is good, but it is a fake. "
After the gentle female voice sounded beside him, Zhang Hanqing quickly turned his eyes to the girl who made him move. With Zhang Hanqing's sophistication, he had already noticed this slim and beautiful young woman when she first started commenting. Although her appearance was a bit untimely, it did not affect his good impression of her: This is a girl with a beautiful face. The melon-seed face of a traditional Chinese woman makes her gentle image as quiet as spring water particularly moving. She exhales like a orchid, comments on the scrolls, and she is well educated.
A beautiful woman is pleasing to the eye; a talented and knowledgeable woman is admired and respected; a beautiful and elegant woman will make a man's heart flutter.
Zhang Hanqing has such a heartbeat feeling. Based on the experience of those who have been there, he secretly scored ninety-five points, and then worked towards a perfect score. This was a rare beauty. Zhang Hanqing secretly swallowed his saliva - this was his subconscious action when facing a beautiful woman, although he might not admit it.
Showing off this knowledge to her is humiliating oneself. Zhang Hanqing is a witty man who is always aware of his own advantages and will make good use of them. He smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "The girl is very knowledgeable and well-educated. But poetry, calligraphy and painting are more It can only be pleasant, if there is no reason for the matter, Xueliang will not set foot in such a place." After all, politics and war are men's domain.
Yu Fengzhi said with a smile: "Of course, the husband is a woman's heaven. The man takes care of the outside world and the woman takes care of the house. The man's career is in the country and the woman's career is at home. This book of music, chess, calligraphy and painting is for the enjoyment of the home and for the country. It's a big deal but it doesn't help. I accidentally knew these things, but they are actually of no use." It was difficult for this fiancé, so Yu Fengzhi also praised him a little, as a thank you for his sincerity. After all, what this cute big boy did was also for her.
Zhang Hanqing is a hundred years more advanced than the men of this era at heart. The idea of ??equality between men and women has been instilled in him for many years in his previous life. Everything he sees, hears and feels also affects his perception of women's equal rights. He looked at this "poisoned" girl and thought with surprise: "Could this be an educated and intellectual woman of this era?"
He is a contradictory man: he hopes that women can give full play to their abilities and expertise. After all, China’s labor force will be the dividend of development for a long time in the future. If more people work, the country will develop faster, which requires women to have a higher status in social life. Progress; but deep down, there are male chauvinist thoughts at work, and they also want to enjoy the patent of three wives and four concubines given to men in this era.
Since beauties have extraordinary conversational skills, they must have received a certain level of education. After seeing the world, they are likely to be infected by the ideas of trendy women. At that time, the waves of women's revolution surged one after another. From the American Socialist Party celebrating Women's Day for the first time in 1909, to the German women's movement leader Clara Zetkin's initiative to set a day as International Women's Day the following year, which received positive response. The European women's liberation movement is in full swing and is gradually affecting China. However, it would take seven years for China to have an influential women's movement in official history.
When he saw the beautiful woman, he felt excited all over. Another beauty took the initiative to strike up a conversation. If she didn't take over the topic and show off, she wouldn't be the Zhang Hanqing who has lived in two generations. He used the topic to show off his knowledge: "That's not necessarily true. It is certainly a traditional Chinese virtue to support one's husband, educate one's children, and raise one's eyebrows together. However, under the new trend of world development, these can no longer meet the requirements of the times for new women."?”
Yu Fengzhi still has traditional thoughts in his heart, otherwise he would not be easily convinced. Now her future husband has spoken out his request for her - although he doesn't know who she is, but he knows himself and his enemy, and it would be great to understand his thoughts earlier. She smiled and said, "This is the first time I have heard of it. I only heard that women must abide by the three obediences and four virtues. I didn't know what new requirements there were."
Zhang Hanqing finally has room to show off. Showing quick wit towards strange beauties has always been one of the reasons why he is popular with women. He has countless jokes memorized in his mind, and his photographic memory must be a gift.
He said with a smile: "The new type of woman should be able to go to the hall and the kitchen; kill wooden horses and climb over walls; drive a car and buy a bungalow; fight with mistresses and beat gangsters!"
Yu Fengzhi didn’t respond, which made him feel his mood waned.
It’s not that Yu Fengzhi lacks the ability to laugh, but that she can’t turn around at all. The amount of information in this is too great. There is a hundred-year gap between people in this era and the era in which Zhang Hanqing lived! She thought hard: "What kind of horse is a Trojan horse? What does mistress mean? If a woman wants to fight with gangsters, isn't she trying to get someone to take advantage of her? How unbecoming would it be for a big girl to climb over the wall? As for the car house, it's not interesting. It’s not that I can’t afford a home, but by saying that, is he mocking me as the Yu family is not as rich as the Zhang family?”
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????… He waved his hand boldly: "To put it another way, in this era, there are three obediences and four virtues for women, and there are also three obedience and four virtues for men. Do you know?"
Yu Fengzhi was successfully removed from the misunderstanding, and then heard another piece of information that left her speechless.
Zhang Hanqing just said it some time ago, and now he is using it again, so he is very familiar with it: "The three obediences are 'follow the lady when she goes out, obey the lady's orders, and blindly obey the lady when she makes mistakes'; the four virtues are 'wait for the lady to put on her makeup, and wear the lady's flowers' You have to be willing to give up money, tolerate your wife's anger, and remember your wife's birthday." At first, Hong Peony just smiled, suddenly relaxed, and felt closer. I guess Yu Fengzhi would not give in too much, right? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 147 Clear Heart

As expected, Yu Fengzhi also smiled, and suddenly felt overwhelmed by the city and the country. She felt out of place, lowered her head to cover it up, and said softly: "Who arranged these words? What kind of world is that?"
Zhang Hanqing chuckled: "I wrote this. It is natural for a man to love his wife. What's the big deal if he has three obediences and four virtues?"
Yu Fengzhi's heart moved: How caring and tender a lover a man who can come up with such a slogan must be? Could it be that the initial indifference towards him was a test for himself? This doesn’t look like it either!
She decided to test it again, "What kind of woman has such a good fortune to follow the young master? To be able to 'do well in the hall and in the kitchen', only a lady can do it. After all, 'courtesy comes to everyone'."
Zhang Hanqing thought to himself: "A woman like you is enough." But he said impassionedly: "In fact, as long as a man and a woman are in love, all other family status and money will be inferior." Thinking of this, he was The idea of ????women's liberation brewing in my heart has another charter: in the future, Fengtian Province will also enact a law. As long as a man and a woman register their marriage in person, the government will recognize it and be protected by the law. Uh, I'm overthinking that.
Yu Fengzhi thought more: What kind of man is this? Seeing how he talked about men being superior to women in an understatement, his thoughts jumped to the bottom of his heart, and he must have expressed his true feelings. In the blink of an eye, he was relieved: he went to school in the provincial capital and should have accepted a lot of trendy things. Naturally, he didn't want to accept me as a "village girl", but he didn't mean to target me. It's just that you don't have the concept of "well-matched" to trouble you, so why do you have this kind of discrimination between urban and rural areas?
When she thought of this, she suddenly said: "Speaking of which, we have a wealthy family named Yu. The girl in the family also studied in the provincial capital, and she once appointed the son of Zhang Dashuai's family in Fengtian City as her son-in-law. But after the young man from that family became rich, he looked down on the 'village girls' here. He thought his family status was not high enough and refused to even enter the house when they were getting engaged. You said, is such a wanton young man what you call a 'modern man'? Or Chen Shimei and his ilk?"
This question is difficult to answer. It seems that I am talking about myself. Of course, it's my own body. However, while enjoying this honor, we must also bear corresponding responsibilities. The beauty in front of her was beautiful, but not as real as Yu Fengzhi. It doesn't seem necessary to "ruin one's own reputation" in order to please her. Moreover, she came to get engaged with great fanfare, and sooner or later the town residents would know about it. Instead of being ridiculed by her in the future, why not be a bachelor now, show off the style of an amorous young man, and lose nothing, okay? Therefore, he spoke impassionedly and eloquently: "These are all lies. If Mr. Zhang has a so-called sense of family status, why would he travel hundreds of miles to come here in person to get engaged?"
Yu Fengzhi looked into his clear eyes: "Then why did he leave without saying goodbye and let the Yu family make a big joke in Zhengjiatun?"
Zhang Hanqing moved: "Sister, this is about you, right?"
He is not a fool. He has been chatting with a strange woman for so long, but there is no one in the store. Even Zhang Zuoxiang and the others are far away. At first glance, he is creating conditions for himself. If you come to get engaged by yourself and talk like this with other women, in this era, it will cause an earthquake. Zhang Zuoxiang is mature and considerate and will not make such a mistake in his future father-in-law's territory. The woman in front of her was only eighteen or nineteen years old. Zhuo Chuo was of the same age, well-educated and courteous, but she was talking casually to a "strange" man like herself. It was very strange. Yu Fengzhi's own father also occasionally mentioned that he was "quite worthy of himself", so he thought his appearance would not be too bad. This young and beautiful woman uses various methods to elicit her views on this marriage, and she will not be aimless. Although he is handsome, he is not to the point where others fall in love at first sight, but he falls in love with her at first sight.
Yu Fengzhi's face turned red when he saw through it, but she remained the same. She said softly: "Now that you know, I might as well talk to you honestly. I have also stayed in the provincial capital, where there are many well-known girls. Yuan, my dear lady, you are the son of a high-ranking official in the provincial capital, so you should find a good match. I am just the daughter of a businessman from a small town. Although my father has some property and a small reputation, it is difficult for you to attract my attention. "
Zhang Hanqing was overjoyed. If he had known that this beauty was his future wife, he should have married her earlier. Getting married is a sign of a man's maturity. It is hard to imagine that the young deputy brigade commander Xiao Zhang and the deputy commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression army, who is not well versed in human affairs and is also known as "not even hairy", will be truly surrendered by tens of thousands of brave soldiers. In order to convince the public, to show that he has matured, and so that the mentality of an adult in his thirties and the young body will no longer suffer at night, he should quickly marry the beauty back to his house.
Although the Yu family basically has no choice as long as they insist on this marriage, to conquer a woman, you have to look like a man, especially the slim, beautiful and elegant woman in front of you.?, I want to make her feel from the bottom of my heart that I am a good match for her.
Yu Fengzhi was still so unhurried, full of resentment and admiration: "I wrote a poem earlier, and I wanted to ask someone to give it to you, but I was afraid that my mother would blame me. Now that you come in person, I will give it to you myself. Where you go is up to you.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The ancient town went to the wedding ceremony in person, no wonder it was full of shock. Thousands of branches and hundreds of flowers are springing up everywhere, how can humble people gather in groups? There is no beauty in his eyes. We vowed to each other sincerely, but who knew the truth of this statement? It is difficult to know the news due to the great disparity in family status. I advise you to divorce Meng Lang and think twice about marrying Qin and Jin. "
coming! Zhang Hanqing secretly exclaimed that his literary accomplishments were limited and he had memorized a lot of Tang poetry and Song lyrics, but that was limited to memorization. Writing poems and lyrics on the spot would be life-threatening. But the good thing is that "Chinese and Foreign Love Poetry Election" I also put a lot of thought into picking up girls in my previous life, and the love history of Zhang and Yu is naturally included. This "Linjiang Fairy" is sung and harmonized, but it is easy to pick up.
He shouted with extreme enthusiasm: "Sister, Xueliang was young and frivolous before, and it was indeed my fault that he despised my sister. But I am no longer the Zhang Xueliang I was before (this is true!). This time I came to Zhengjiatun, and I The first is to apologize, and the second is to implore Mrs. Yu to marry her sister to me. My sister has "Linjiang Immortal" as a gift to me, and Xueliang also has "Linjiang Immortal" as a gift: a blind date in an ancient town creates a romantic relationship, and the eyes turn to ecstasy. Thousands of flowers. It's not spring, I'm tired of the crowd of pink and white flowers, and I have no intention of looking for a beautiful woman. A fragrant orchid stands alone, and you will know it is true only when you meet it. It is rare to have a close friend in your life, and I would like to marry my sister Qin Jin from today on."
Yu Fengzhi was extremely ashamed. Talking about marriage with a strange man was not what she, a lady, should have done. If her mother and uncle had not arranged it, she would never have wanted to meet Zhang Hanqing here. She is an old-style woman who is deeply influenced by ancient customs. The thought of perseverance is deeply imprinted in her mind. Regardless of the poems or lyrics she writes, although she shows her chastity and strong character, she does not think it is meaningful at all. What a big deal, I regretted my behavior in private - once word spread to my husband's family that I was showing off like this, would they think I was frivolous?

Facing Zhang Hanqing, although I couldn't help but show off my talents again, it was just to gain face for my status as a "village girl", so I would write these poems at the risk of offending my future husband. If Zhang Hanqing turns against him, he really doesn’t know what to do; or if he fails to respond and loses face, then the gain outweighs the loss. From now on, I really can’t be too obsessed with poetry.
I was worrying about gains and losses, but unexpectedly Zhang Hanqing greeted him casually, and his literary talent was amazing. This handsome young man with a handsome and majestic weapon really made her fall in love. This little poem ignited the fire of love in Feng Zhi's heart. She asked shyly and with a smile: "In that case, if you don't go to Yu Mansion to propose marriage, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Hanqing was speechless and didn't know how to answer. You can't say that you want to find out her truth first, right? That's too hurtful. However, the young marshal still has a quick wit: "Xue Liang just heard that my sister likes calligraphy and painting. I came in a hurry and didn't have time to look for it, so I hesitated to find some treasures to make my sister happy."
Yu Fengzhi said with a smile but not a smile: "Don't listen to my uncle's nonsense, he is just trying your heart." Zhang Hanqing suddenly realized that all this was in the other party's hands. No wonder the middle-aged man was so enthusiastic! The relationship between the two quickly warmed up, and he felt reassured. Naturally, he was confused: "It turned out to be our uncle. Fortunately, he didn't say anything bad just now."
Before he finished speaking, a clear laughter came from the other side of the bookshelf: "Okay, uncles have called me, and I can eat wedding candy this time." Yu Fengzhi was so ashamed that he couldn't help himself, and kept spitting: " Yifan, don’t talk nonsense.”
While he was talking, an elegant and refined little girl appeared from one side and giggled. This was Yu Yifan, the niece who had been following Yu Fengzhi. My great-uncle and Zhang Zuoqiang left here in a tacit understanding, and only she, a little girl, stayed behind secretly. What the aunt's lover looks like and what his temper is are what girls of this age are curious about. She heard all about the probing and affectionate show between the two.
Yu Fengzhi was naturally embarrassed in front of her natal family, but Zhang Hanqing felt cute. This handsome and delicate girl was very interesting. He looked at the little girl kindly and asked Yu Fengzhi: "Who is this from my sister's family?"
Yu Feng came to Hao Yan and said, "This is my niece Yifan. She is a little kid but a big kid. She is now studying in Fengtian Kingdom. My mother likes her very much."
Yu Yifan curled his lips: "You are young, I am already thirteen years old this year." She looked at Zhang Hanqing and smiled: "Uncle, when will you marry my aunt?"
Zhang Hanqing is not like Yu Fengzhi who wants to hide his head in the ground. What is there to be shy about in matters of human ethics? He seemed to be answering Yu Yifan's words, and seemed to be asking Yu Fengzhi: "This matter must be done as quickly as possible. This year's Beginning of Autumn is a good day. I wonder if your family can agree?"
" Even if Yu Fengzhi has an idea for this kind of thing, she still needs her mother's consent. She comes from a wealthy family with very strict upbringing. But Yu Yifan asked innocently: "Why is the sooner the better? Does my uncle miss my aunt?" Yu Fengzhi's face turned red with irritation. This childish talk was so embarrassing!
Zhang Hanqing is a direct disciple of Houheixue, and he has stood the test in matters of men and women. He looked at the little girl, hehe, she is really a beauty. The key is that her words made him more proactive. Look at Yu Feng So, I was still reasonable just now, but suddenly I felt like a deflated rubber ball. Determination is more beautiful than beautiful words, and it deserves praise.
He took Yu Yifan's hand: "Brother, please marry your aunt as soon as possible so that we can do something quickly." Yes, if he doesn't get married for a day, he will be an immature boy in the hearts of the people of Fengtian. It's hard to win people's trust when it comes to things. Fengtian's poor finances left him with a lot of things he wanted to do but couldn't do. He just figured out an idea, which was the key to developing Fengtian, and he had to seize the time to implement it.
But Yu Yifan clapped his hands and smiled: "I know, I want my aunt to hurry up and give me a bunch of little brothers and sisters." As soon as the little girl entered the maze of marriage, her mind was filled with such things.
Even Zhang Hanqing felt embarrassed. Is there such a generous girl? Who educated you? Old-style education kills people! It was a little inappropriate to talk about romantic affairs to a young girl. He hurriedly changed the subject: "Well, it's getting late. Let's go to Yu's house now."
Yu Fengzhi turned his back and said, "You have to go, we have to look at some calligraphy and paintings."
But Yu Yifan betrayed her: "Auntie, you have been looking at paintings here for a long time, haven't you seen enough?"
"Zhang Hanqing is not only good at understanding people's clothes, but also their thoughts. This is the quality of the romantic young marshal. He said to the little girl: "Your aunt is shy, so she definitely doesn't want to go with us. Just walk around here slowly with your aunt, and your uncle will leave first."
? ?Zhang Hanqing was appointed as the "Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Bandit Suppression Army" in order to gain military qualifications as soon as possible. Zhang Zuolin also admired Li very much, and asked him to take charge of his eldest son's marriage.
Zhang Zuoxiang laughed and said: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? My eldest brother attaches great importance to this marriage, which is also an important reason why Xueliang came to visit this time. Fengzhi is a couple that both the old shopkeeper and the eldest brother are optimistic about, and the eldest brother is afraid that there will be I'm rude and sorry for Big Brother's enthusiasm. No, Fengtian City has already started to make preparations. This is the gift list personally prepared by Big Brother for this trip. Sister-in-law, please don't dislike it."
There are not strange people in Li, and Mrs. Yu is just polite. She took the gift list and only glanced at it. She knew that Zhang Zuolin was also worthy of this time. She is the actual helmsman after the death of the old shopkeeper of the Yu family, and her knowledge is also extraordinary: not to mention the gold and silver jewelry from the two largest shops in Fengtian Province, not to mention the 100,000 yuan of foreign notes that can be redeemed by the "Northeast Official Bank". There are four ginseng roots from Jilin alone, which is hard to find even if you have money; there are eight custom-made cheongsam coupons from "Yiren Piaoying", the largest tailor shop in Fengtian, which is intentional.
Recalling the last time that this hairy son-in-law left without saying goodbye, Madam Yu was also worried about his young and undecided temperament. In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, when Zhang Zuoxiang tactfully suggested that August 8th this year was a good day and that his future in-law Zhang Zuolin intended to marry on this day, Yu Mrs. After some false concessions, the old lady agreed.

Chapter 149 Death Group
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
"While everyone in the Governor's Mansion was busy with Zhang Hanqing's marriage, an unexpected event disrupted the schedule.
Gao Jiyi is Zhang Hanqing’s current adjutant. He is the first person Zhang Hanqing trusts since time travel, except for his bodyguard chief Tan Hai (who had resigned as adjutant and bodyguard and became the section chief of the special affairs section full-time). When the young marshal took office, he found Gao Jiyi, who was still unknown at the time, from the student army, and made him his deputy despite the strange looks from everyone. After the establishment of the Fengqi Bureau, he also served as the assistant director. It can be said that Gao Jiyi is the second person Zhang Hanqing has most quickly hired besides Guo Songling - Wang Yongjiang is Zhang Hanqing who respects his talents first before employing his people. He is still in the stage of mutual respect and is still far from his direct lineage.
Why use Gao Jiyi? Or why the young marshal resolutely believes that Gao Jiyi is reliable? Even Gao Jiyi himself doesn't know. Someone once asked Zhang Hanqing: "Why did you choose Deputy Chief Gao as the assistant director?" Zhang Hanqing just said lightly: "He is trustworthy!" Just this sentence made Gao Jiyi burst into tears of gratitude, and made him feel as if a scholar would die for a confidant.
In the early Republic of China, the deputy chief actually had multiple roles: he was the first executor of the chief officer's decisions, and he also served as secretary and confidential officer. It was a very important position, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a life-and-death relationship. Although Zhang Hanqing has begun to feel that it is unreasonable for one person to hold multiple positions, but the trend is like this, and there is no one at hand who can replace him, so he will tolerate it for the time being and Xu Tu will change it.
The reason why the deputy chief is also the main person in charge of the "Fengqi Bureau" is that Zhang Hanqing believes that the deputy chief is equivalent to the director of the General Office of the Central Committee and is responsible for the chief officer's life, daily work scheduling and safety. Without enough information, the adjutant can only run errands and pass messages, rather than being the deputy and assistant of the chief officer. In addition, the Fengqi Bureau is still under preparation, and Zhang Hanqing needs the final decision on many things. As Gao Jiyi serves as deputy chief, he can report a lot of information nearby, so that Zhang Hanqing, who has just taken charge of the military and political power, can know more information.
In addition, Gao Jiyi was planned to be the future leader of the Northeast Underground Front. In his previous life, he was one of the few people who was loyal to the Marshal. During critical moments in official history, he resolutely obeyed the Marshal's orders to arrest and execute Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai. If not, who should he use?
Gao Jiyi is really lucky. He was appreciated by a younger marshal at a young age. He will not be able to achieve success in the Fengjun army in the future. This made many people sigh: This little Gao is really lucky!
?????????????????????? But Xiao Gao’s luck really turned out to be good. His luck was not ordinary, and he immediately made a great contribution, which silenced the doubting voice and even praised the young marshal’s vicious eye for people.
Fengtian is the "Longxing Land" where the Manchu Qing Dynasty started. In the decades after the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass, Fengtian City existed as a backup capital. In the Northeast, Fengtian is the most prosperous; among the people in the Northeast, Fengtian is the most prosperous. Whoever controls Fengtian basically has the initiative and the nominal and de facto leadership status in the Northeast. To be honest, besides Feng Delin from the same city, there are many people who are dissatisfied with Zhang Zuolin's gradual rise to power in Fengtian. In addition to the Japanese who believed that Zhang Zuolin was arrogant and difficult to control, the elders of the original Qing Dynasty were also secretly gearing up to prepare for an uprising.
In April 1914, after the Japanese Prime Minister Okuma Shigenobu formed the cabinet for the second time, because of his active support for the "Manchuria independence movement", the Soja Party, which was short-lived after the Revolution of 1911, was re-established in Japan, with its headquarters in Tokyo and a branch in Dalian. . The main members include the former Prince Shanqi of Su, the former Prince Gong Puwei, the former Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu Shengyun, the former Mongolian nobles Babu Zabu and Fu Sheng'a, as well as the Japanese Kawashima Naniwa, Touyama Mitsuru, Yamada Osamu, and Ruo Hitaro and more than 30 people.
Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, and the whole country was in chaos. Kawashima Naniwa and others believed that the time had come, and instigated the good deeds and others to collude with the national separatists Babu Zabu and others to mobilize the rebels and carry out the crime of massacre. Activity. Prince Shanqi of the Yuan Su Dynasty, who lived in Dalian, led the Dalian branch and jointly planned with Kawashima Naniwa and others to recruit rebels in Dalian, Andong (today's Dandong), Piziwo and other places. In March 1916, he jointly planned with Kawashima Naniwa and others. The "Qinwang Army" of the Zongshe Party was formed in May, preparing to start an uprising in southern Liaoning and carry out military activities in cooperation with the "Second Manchuria Movement" launched by Japan. This is a military force entirely armed by the Japanese. Although they are all a ragtag group of people, after all, there are many people and the Japanese are backing them, so the movement is not small.
Babu Zabu also planned to start an uprising in Khalkha Mongolia and set up the "King Qin Restoration Army" to attack from the north. Once accomplished, a Manchu-Mongolian country protected by the Japanese will be established.
But Zhang Zuolin has already matured, and the situation at home and abroad makes it difficult to defend him through military means. Kawashima and others believed that Zhang Zuolin was the biggest obstacle to realizing the "Manchu independence movement" and decided to use assassination to get rid of him first, and then took advantage of the chaos to enter Fengtian City, making the Northeast the world of the "Zongshe Party". Then Xu TuOf course, God knows whether the glory of the Manchu Empire can be restored if it rises again.
So don’t underestimate the wisdom of contemporary people. Since ancient China, there has been a saying that "capture the thief first, capture the king". This may also be the origin of the modern "decapitation war".
At the same time, in May 1916, Japanese Major General Doi also received a secret order to get rid of Zhang Zuolin, and immediately came to Fengtian Manchuria Railway Annex, and gathered Japanese ronin Date Junnosuke, Colonel Yutaka Mimura and others to form the "Manchuria-Mongolia Death Regiment" ". He wants to take advantage of an opportunity to realize this conspiracy.
"But although Zhang Zuolin is usually careless, he has always been cautious about his own safety, and Zhang Hanqing's huge guard brigade is by no means a decoration. No matter in the 27th Division or the Commander's Mansion, no one has the chance to take action unless he has the power to eliminate one division after another independent brigade. Now in Fengtian, there is no such opponent, not even the Japanese.
Now that he is on the same level as Feng Delin, Zhang Zuolin will not step out of the defense zone casually, leaving those who are interested in it unable to start.
The opportunity comes as it comes. According to reliable information, on June 27, Prince Kanin Giya Zaihito, the younger brother of the Emperor of Japan, will return to Japan from Russia and pass through Fengtian. As Japan's agent in Fengtian in Northeast China (the word "ally" is now used), Zhang Zuolin is bound to attend. Although Zhang Zuolin is noble, he will not be able to lead troops to protect himself. This time the emperor's younger brother, Sutra, is really a good opportunity for the assassin. If the opponents let go of such a God-given opportunity, they will be looking down on everyone in the world.
“ However, Major General Doi was also privately warned not to take action within the Japanese defense zone, otherwise the Japanese army would not be able to escape. This will not only cause adverse international effects at home and abroad, such as the incompetence of the Japanese military, but will also make countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States very unhappy with Japan's monopoly on the Northeast, and will provide an excuse to interfere in the political situation in the Northeast.

You can’t take action on the way out, otherwise the welcoming ceremony will be ruined. The impact is so bad that even the Kwantung Army headquarters cannot bear it. After thinking about it, I could only make some moves when Zhang Zuolin returned.
Because Zhang Zuolin had so many guards, it was impossible to break through and find opportunities for assassination from the periphery. This should be thanked for the fact that the true sense of the Communist Party has not yet appeared in China, otherwise the history of Northeast China and even China would never be what we know.
In close combat, using only a pistol can create a surprise effect, but on the road in a hurry, Zhang Zuolin was leading a cavalry team, and it was difficult to aim. With the firepower of the pistol, a hit would not necessarily be fatal. Therefore, in modern China, the more famous assassinations all used guns, such as Yin Fengji's assassination of General Shirakawa Yoshinori, which killed 13 people in one fell swoop-the power of guns and pistols is incomparable.
?? Throwing weapons requires dead soldiers - for "human flesh bombs" that are determined to die, basically no one can escape from a close-range assassination, which makes Doi and others difficult. The Kwantung Army has a well-trained special high-tech department, but it is a bit ostentatious, and the Kwantung Army headquarters is not willing to be involved in this assassination. This is also based on the "friendship" between Zhang Zuolin and the Kwantung Army's senior officials who have always been invisible.
Colonel Mimura, who was experienced in committing crimes, spread out the map, and finally his eyes fell on the small west gate: This place is very close to the General's Palace, which makes people psychologically easy to relax their vigilance. More importantly, it can be used after sending off the emperor's younger brother. It reduces people's speculation on the connection between the assassination and the Japanese army. In addition, it is the most convenient way to enter and exit the general's mansion.
Zhang Zuolin's Guard Brigade has very strong control over the vicinity of the General's Mansion, and Xiaoximen is also a very prosperous place. It is impossible for the desperate team members to calmly place their weapons in broad daylight. In addition, the recruitment of assassins was a bit hasty. After all, the news was received late, and the decision to assassinate Zhang Zuolin was just a spur of the moment decision. Despite the murderous intent of these members of the "Manchuria-Mongolia Death Regiment" who wanted to kill Zhang Zuolin and then kill him, when they finally wanted to die as soldiers, they couldn't help but commit difficulties even if they were tempted to enter the Yasukuni Shrine.
Colonel Mimura finally decided to rent a shop next to Xiaoximen and use the narrow terrain to accidentally throw a large number of bombs when Zhang Zuolin's guards passed by. Regardless of whether they hit or not, the assassins had to take advantage of the chaos to escape. After Zhang Zuolin's chaos, he was bound to panic and make no choice. Sancun emphasized in several places: As long as I don't believe that he can escape under the serial pursuit, this is a powerful follow-up.
Date Junnosuke Ronin, who volunteered to carry out the first round of assassinations, is a typical China hand. He has lived in Fengtian for ten years and is very familiar with the streets and alleys here. He came to Xiaoximen and wandered around. After chatting with someone, I learned that the third son of the He family had a vacant house that he wanted to rent out. The neighbor was very enthusiastic and took Ida to He Mantun's residence.
Date Junnosuke observed the terrain while walking. When he saw that the room faced the street and had a door, and was accessible from three directions, he couldn't help but be moved. Well, this place is good enough. Because it is close to the street and close to the door, the traffic is usually very congested. Even if Zhang Zuolin is a horse team, he must slow down here.
The neighbor patted the small door, "He Laosan, He Laosan! Someone is coming to see your house!"
With a "squeak" sound, a middle-aged man wearing slippers and holding a pipe in his mouth opened the door. The dazzling sun made him dizzy after being in the house for a long time. But he was a good speaker, so he took away his pipe, knocked it against the door unconsciously, and said, "It's late. Someone has already booked a room just now, and the deposit has been paid."
Ida asked for a long time, and finally found this place, and it was exactly what she wanted, so of course she didn’t want to miss it. He took out two silver coins from his pocket and said, "Your land, this is your land. My partner and I only need to stay here for three days."
The listless He Laosan suddenly opened his eyes: Only three days to stay! Two silver dollars, that’s one month’s rent! The guest just now agreed to stay in three days. According to the hotel's rules, old guests will come and new guests will come in that day, so there is only a short time difference. Two silver dollars!
Huh? Is there any chance to take this order first? Maybe it would be enough to say something nice when the guest comes. The worst is to give him two hundred copper coins. This is a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity! Anyway, it’s not more than a day or two. He Laosan secretly made up his mind.
By coincidence, the guest just now was Gao Jiyi.
After Gao Jiyi became the deputy chief of the Marshal and the assistant director of the "Fengqi Bureau", he was mainly responsible for Zhang Hanqing's public and private affairs. On the eve of Zhang Hanqing's getting married, it was inevitable that the family would be in chaos. As the "general manager" of family affairs, Gao Jiyi naturally cannot live too far from the general's mansion, otherwise it will be too inconvenient to go back and forth. Fortunately, Gao Jiyi is still single, so it doesn't matter whether he lives in a good or bad place. Anyway, he spends most of his time in the general's mansion or the Guard Brigade Headquarters, and usually only needs a bed. So Gao Jiyi thought about renting a house next to the General's Mansion, just for convenience.
But the prosperous place in Fengtian next to the General's Mansion is located. Although the housing prices during the Republic of China were not as outrageous as the "sky-high-priced housing" in later generations, it was not something that Gao Jiyi, a new favorite in the workplace, could afford.
After going back and forth, I fell in love with a family named He next to Xiaoximen. His house had a vacant room on the ground floor facing the street and wanted to rent it out. However, the rent was a bit expensive, at two yuan a month. However, having received financial support from Zhang Hanqing in advance, and considering that the price was fairly reasonable, Gao Jiyi paid the deposit and agreed to move in three days later.
The reason why I chose this place is because it is at the dividing point between the General's Mansion and the Guard Brigade. It is very convenient no matter where I go to work.
Today, the Marshal has to go to the station to greet the Japanese Emperor's younger brother. The security task of the Marshal's Mansion is much lighter, and he has time to move.
Gao Jiyi packed his packed luggage into the car early in the morning. Fortunately, he was single and packed it up quickly. But when Gao Jiyi came to the rental office with his luggage and guards, he learned that the room was already occupied, and he couldn't help but get angry. All clay people are very angry, not to mention the newly promoted assistant director and deputy chief with the title of young marshal. Who in the officialdom of Fengtian during the general's residence was not respectful to him, but yet he suffered a dumb loss in this trivial matter? How could it be unbearable!
Ignoring He Laosan who nodded and bowed to apologize, Gao Jiyi shouted: "I don't care how you bring people in, I want to move in now! I pay the deposit first, and you break the contract later. Is there no Wang Fa in Fengtian City?" Are you done?" Based on his previous temper, if he encountered this kind of thing, he would definitely fight. Normally, he would ignore him and still be tough. However, since he joined the Guards Brigade and became a student army, the young marshal has not allowed officers and soldiers to quarrel with the people, let alone fights. You must know that the young marshal is not generally strict in maintaining military discipline. Although he is currently considered a close confidant of the young marshal, he has no doubt that the young marshal will dismiss him from his post and use it as an example for the Guard Brigade!
He Laosan knew that he was in the wrong, and saw that the person in front of him was very popular: if he were an ordinary person, he would not bring an entourage with him. Both of them had crew cut hair, and at first glance they must be officers and soldiers in Fengtian City. I just don’t know if this person is from the 27th Division or some Guards Brigade? It would be easier to talk if they were from the Guards Brigade. Don't they often say that the officers and soldiers of the Guards Brigade are very kind to the people. They never beat or scold them. I heard that they pay for meals and purchases based on the price; if they are those from the 27th Division, It's really bad, uncle. Those soldiers and gangsters who have nothing to do can find a solution, but they can't solve the problem if they are caught! It’s not like we haven’t been hit by disasters in recent years.
He begged Gao Jiyi in a low voice: "Brother, this is my fault. The two guests said they would only stay for three days, and I thought you might not move in so soon. That's why Lard was deceived. They will be here today." Moving out will not delay your check-in at night. You can leave your luggage here first, and I will help you place it as soon as the guests leave."
For this reason, Gao Jiyi thought about it and let it go without delaying his check-in. However, he was curious: Who would be willing to spend money to rent a private house and only stay there for three days? If you have that time, why not just stay in a hotel? It’s not more expensive than a private house and it’s more convenient.
He Laosan had just calmed down the guest's anger, and was eager to please, so he said casually: "One is a little Japanese, and the other doesn't talk much. After they move in, they usually keep the door closed, and they don't go out much."
"The quality of the Japanese in Fengtian is really not that good, otherwise even ordinary civilians would hate the Japanese. They would call them "Taijun" in public, but they would be called "Little Japan" in private. Date was used to being a ronin. Although she restrained herself a lot because of the mission, she always said "your place and my place" when she spoke, and she couldn't hide her Japanese flavor.
"Oh, little Japan," Gao Jiyi muttered casually, not caring.
But he suddenly felt blessed: Why do the Japanese live here? Only staying for three days?
Gao Jiyi suddenly became irritable. He pointed at He Laosan's nose and said loudly: "The house I have agreed to live in is for me, why did I promise it to others? I don't believe it. The silver dollar they give you will ring louder than mine!" He cursed. Stepping towards the house: "Either you let them leave, or you compensate me for the loss. In short, this matter can't be a good thing!"
He Laosan stared at Gao Jiyi's rage, a little at a loss. This tenant, who had calmly accepted his apology just a moment ago, suddenly turned his back on him. He slowed down a beat, and Gao Jiyi was already kicking the door. He hurried forward and grabbed Gao Jiyi's clothes: "I'm sorry, brother. I'm obsessed with money. I shouldn't promise the house to others anymore. But people are coming, so we can't chase people away right away." Let's go. Just be patient and wait a while. In short, it will not delay your check-in at night."
Gao Jiyi continued to knock on the door relentlessly: "Let the people inside come out, I want to see who it is!"
The door finally opened. Ida changed her slovenly style and stopped wearing slippers. He was wearing the kind of short collar common among Liaodong people, a pair of inconspicuous cloth shoes on his feet, and an armed belt around his waist. He was full of energy and looked very capable.
Seeing that the other person seemed to be a soldier, Ida seemed to be stunned, but Gao Jiyi still caught a glimpse of the panic flashing in his eyes, which strengthened his idea. Within a moment, Ida regained his arrogance. He squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Your, what kind of work?"
Gao Jiyi looked angrily: "I rented this house and now I have to hand it over. Move your things quickly, don't delay my move-in!"
In Fengtian, no one dares to talk to the Japanese like this, even if they are justified. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)He was full of energy and looked very capable.

Seeing that something bad was going to happen, He Laosan quickly nodded and apologized: "Taijun, it's my fault. The guest I booked earlier arrived early, so I should talk to the guest again." There was a conflict between Chinese and Japanese people, and he was the first to apologize. One thing is to settle the Chinese people first. Anyway, "friendly people" cannot suffer losses. This was the common sense of that era. Besides, when the average Chinese people learn that there is a conflict with the Japanese, they are used to minimizing the big issues and trivial matters. This is also the common sense of that era.
Who knows that Gao Jiyi still refuses to give up: "I have made an appointment to move in, how can I change it on the spot?"
Ida, who knew his own family affairs and had important matters at hand, did not want this to affect his work. He patiently apologized in his half-familiar Chinese for the first time and said: "Hai, I'm really sorry. Unknown to us, he made an appointment with you in advance." . If we had known, such a thing would never have happened. I hope you will forgive me and we will move out this evening." He pointed at He Laosan: "It's his, his conscience is so bad that we have this misunderstanding. .”
When talking about this point, it is bullied. Considering the status of the Japanese in Fengtian, He Laosan breathed a sigh of relief: Should this master give in this time?
But Gao Jiyi remained unmoved. Will the always arrogant Japanese take the initiative to apologize for other people's mistakes? When something is abnormal, abnormality is a monster. As a member of the Intelligence Bureau, some people should be sensitive. In addition, there has been some news recently from the Fengji Bureau that someone is planning to assassinate the commander. The Fengji Bureau is also following the clues to look for clues. Unfortunately, because it has just been established, important Japanese agencies cannot get into it at all. The case is currently in the rumor stage.
Since the establishment of the "Fengqing Bureau", there has not been a single satisfactory achievement. Since this department may threaten the interests of many high-level officials in the Fengjun Army, many people will not stop it on the surface, but secretly keep saying strange things. It is not as effective to have the young commander say good things as to silence everyone with facts, right? Zhang Zuolin was Gao Ji Yi'en's father who advocated for Han Qing, and he was also Zhang Hanqing's support in his official career. He had to be careful in matters concerning him.
There must be something wrong with the Japanese people in front of you, because it is really unreasonable! The more he took the initiative to show weakness, the more suspicious Gao Jiyi became. It has to be said that the nose of an agent is very good!
“But Gao Jiyi has been with Zhang and his son for a while, and he clearly understands Zhang’s attitude towards the Japanese, and knows that direct search will definitely not work. Breaking in by force is satisfying for a while, as long as you find something you shouldn't have, but if you miss it, the Japanese will definitely not give up because of their arrogance. A small matter will soon turn into a diplomatic dispute——it has always been dealt with The result is that the Chinese people suffer. So far, although there is speculation that there is a ghost in the house, it is not known to what extent.
There is one! Didn’t I reserve the house first? This is a good opportunity to take advantage of: the house is occupied, just move out. After moving the other party’s luggage, what else can’t be found? In case of misjudgment, it is said that it was due to a verbal dispute. Anyway, he took the right side first, and the boss will be responsible for taking the blame - who told him not to open his eyes to money and open his eyes to money?
"No! I have decided to stay in this house today. Come and pull their luggage out!" Gao Jiyi said in an unreasonable manner. Ordinary people in Fengtian are really afraid of the Japanese. Gao Jiyi, who holds a gun in his hand, has no such awareness. He is afraid that this will scare off the enemy.
Following Gao Jiyi were two guards from the Guard Brigade who were ordered to break into the house. Under the guidance and training of Zhang Hanqing, the Guard Brigade usually pays attention to ordering as much as possible. If when I was a commoner, I still had some scruples about the Japanese, now that I am a soldier, and under the strict orders of my superiors, if I don't take the opportunity to throw away the Japanese in large quantities, then I am not raised by the Chinese! They thought that Adjutant Gao was taking advantage of the situation to undermine the Japanese's arrogance.
Date was shocked. In the Northeast and other places, no Chinese dared to be so rude to him after learning that he was Japanese! He stretched out his hand to stop the two men, but the other party was very strong. As they strode forward from left to right, even he himself was involuntarily brought into the house.
The situation inside the house was something Gao Jiyi would never forget.
The first thing that caught the eye was a row of stringed bombs, which were placed on the table like terracotta warriors and horses, as if to welcome themselves as uninvited guests. An equally capable man sat on a stool and carefully tied several bombs together, as if he was playing with a work of art rather than a murderous weapon. On the ground next to it, there were already two large prepared bombs leaning against the table legs.
Obviously, this firepower is not enough for a row! What is he going to do?
There was a sudden "buzz" in Gao Jiyi's mind. The inhuman training he had received in the Guards Brigade had taken effect, and he quickly pulled out his pistol like a conditioned reflex. His two escorts from the Guard Brigade also reacted quickly and rushed forward. One hugged Ida, and the other pulled the bolt of the gun and aimed it at the man sitting on the stool.It just happened in an instant, and He Laosan was stunned.
Ida knew what was going on at home, so she immediately became angry and twisted her waist suddenly to throw away the person behind her. At the same time, she reached her waist to touch the gun. But Gao Jiyi, who was well prepared, rushed forward and punched him in the face.
The nose is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. With her hands tied, Ida was unable to dodge and was hit directly. Tears and runny nose immediately ran down her face, and she also lost the strength to resist. His accomplice was unwilling to be restrained and wanted to resist, but one of the guards picked up the barrel of a gun and slammed it into his face. He grinned in pain and groaned. Everyone in the Fengjun army hates the Japanese. If they can't do anything when they have the opportunity, when will they wait?
Gao Jiyi waved his pistol and shouted: "If you resist again, shoot!" His vicious voice convinced Ida and his accomplices that this Chinese really dared to do this.
Ida still wanted to struggle, and shouted viciously: "I am a Japanese, you dare to arrest me? I will go to the general's mansion to settle the account with you!" The Japanese are used to being domineering in Fengtian, and there is basically no one around. No matter what, he still wants to use this identity to get out of trouble.
Gao Jiyi was unmoved: "Fengtian is managed by Chinese people. When will it be your turn to sit on my head like a little thing? What you have done, do you dare to go to the general's mansion? Even the Kwantung Army headquarters can't protect you! Xiao Ji , report to the young marshal immediately; Xiao Wang, if these two damn things dare to resist again, they will be shot directly!" The two followers agreed.
Ida was surprised: "What have I done?" He was worried that the secret had been leaked.
What Gao Jiyi said was a bluff. He was already suspicious of the motives of the two Japanese: Why would they rent a private house to carry so many bombs? Seeing Ida's expression and thinking of the legendary assassination, I suddenly had a premonition and my palms became sweaty.
If the premonition is true, I can only say that Xiao Gao's luck is really not that good! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 152 Something unexpected happened
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
In the early autumn morning at Fengtian Railway Station, there is still a hint of coolness. However, the Japanese military police with live ammunition and the spies everywhere made this cool feeling even worse. However, with the order to lift martial law, the peaceful atmosphere began to be replaced by hustle and bustle again.
Zhang Zuolin tightened the general's uniform. In addition to feeling a little cold, the chill in my heart gradually rose. This was an intuition developed through many crises and years of being a bandit. He always felt that something was going to happen today.
Today, Prince Kanin Giya Zaihito, the younger brother of the Emperor of Japan, will return to Japan from Russia via Fengtian. For such a large battle, Japan's senior military and political officials in Fengtian will be there to greet it, especially the Kanto Governor Yujiro Nakamura and other dignitaries will definitely attend. As a "close" ally of the Japanese, Zhang Zuolin will go to Fengtian Station to greet him no matter what. .
Because of the martial law imposed by the Japanese army, Zhang Zuolin’s guards were unable to protect him at close range. There were no guards around, and he suddenly felt like a naked person who had been stripped of his clothes, standing in front of the crowd without dignity. At this moment, he felt a little chill in his body.
It was only on this occasion that Feng Delin and Zhang Zuolin, who had already fought to the death openly, had the opportunity to stay together, look at each other mechanically for a moment, and then turn their faces away, smiling and accepting the presence of the Japanese military officers, ministers and influential people in Fengtian. political and economic members and senior officials of Fengtian City.
Not far away, Major General Doi was invisible in the crowd, watching Zhang Zuolin's every move. General Zhang, who was standing in the wind, was completely unaware of all this. Around him, the flags are like pictures and military music is singing.
To be honest, Zhang Zuolin never thought much about this courtesy visit. Prince Zain’s words of friendship between China and Japan are just clichés and nothing new. Of course, Zhang Zuolin also showed his heroic qualities and vowed to accept the kindness of the Japanese prince. Chatting with this noble man was far less enjoyable than scheming with the senior officials of the Kwantung Army.
Zhang Hanqing was also invited. He has a lot of friendship with some Japanese dignitaries in Fengtian, as well as Shigeru Honjo, the director of the railway guard stationed in Fengtian. Of course, this refers to the original owner of the body. After having the opportunity to see the majestic appearance of the Japanese soldiers with his own eyes, Zhang Hanqing became more eager to train Fengjun's new army.
Yes, the Japanese army is majestic. This is not a fact that can be denied. In fact, the first generation of Japanese soldiers were indeed well-trained and fearless of death. They were no less than or even worse than the soldiers of other major countries in the world. Praising the enemy does not mean denying oneself. The pig-like Japanese soldiers depicted in many modern anti-Japanese dramas are actually a great insult to the countless revolutionary martyrs who have donated their lives for the country——like those in movies and TV The pig-like Japanese officers and soldiers allowed China to fight the war of resistance for 14 years? Isn't this an insult to Chinese soldiers?
Prince Zai Ren only stayed briefly, then headed south to Dalian, preparing to return home via North Korea after inspecting his "Kwantung State". After the song ended and everyone dispersed, Zhang Zuolin felt even more depressed.
On the way back, it was neither windy nor sunny.
There has not been much peace recently, and the accompanying guards were extremely vigilant along the way. After Zhang Zuolin became the commander-in-chief, he also changed his behavior under the persuasion of his guards. In the past, he liked to ride on a tall horse, and he suddenly felt that the perspective was wide, and he looked at himself. Now he is much more low-key. In public places, he tries not to ride a horse but rides a carriage. The carriages are all made of thickened wooden boards, and the outside is also covered with a layer of iron sheet, which can withstand the impact of the Maxim machine gun if not used.
Zhang Hanqing insisted not to take the carriage. Firstly, he does not want to have special privileges, which is inconsistent with his concept of promoting the unity of officers and soldiers; secondly, he is getting more and more experienced in riding horses.
?At first I didn’t know how to do it, then I let it go, and then I couldn’t live without it. In this era that is far from mechanization, it is difficult for a commander-in-chief to be called a commander-in-chief if he does not understand the importance of cavalry and combat methods. I heard that Zhang Zuoxiang of the 27th Division and Wu Junsheng stationed in Taoliao are both Use the good hands of the cavalry. In addition, we must also consider that the Northeast is vast and sparsely populated and has lush forests. Cavalry is the backbone of the army anyway. There will be many places where horses will be used in the future. It never hurts to prepare for a rainy day and learn to ride a horse.
As the group got closer and closer to the General's Mansion, everyone's expressions gradually relaxed: after passing the Xiaoximen, they were only one block away from the General's Mansion, and they were finally home safely.
"At home, Zhang Zuolin is not a hero, but an amiable elder. Although he was born a bandit, he was able to unite so many heroes from all walks of life. In just a dozen years in official history, he transformed from a prince to a central overlord. It goes without saying that his affinity is undeniable. In Fengtian, he never allowed officers and soldiers to disturb the people, and he also took many measures that were beneficial to the people; and the people also gave their best love to "Zhang Qingtian" who loved them. Everyone in Fengtian is familiar with the handsome car.
"Thank you, Marshal!" This is from reading the newspaper, the Bushido spirit collapsed at this moment.
Ida finally revealed the plan to assassinate Zhang Zuolin and others on their way back from attending the reception for the Japanese prince. After hearing the news, Gao Jiyi
Stunned. But when he was tortured carefully about the details, Ida only knew his own mission. As for how the assassination was carried out and how many passers-by were there, he was also in the dark.
Knowing that the situation was serious, Gao Jiyi immediately rode towards the commander's house, only to learn that the old and young commanders had already left for a long time. Calculating the itinerary, it may not be enough time until someone is sent to notify the warlord. Therefore, Gao Jiyi made a prompt decision. While notifying the guard brigade duty room to quickly arrange manpower rescue, he personally led a few people to the station. Just when Zhang Zuolin and his party were seen, the assassination had already begun.
The driver suddenly lost his composure. He shook off the rickshaw and untied the package from behind with both hands. With a slight pull and a raise of his hand, a string of smokey things passed over Zhang Hanqing's head and flew towards Zhang Zuolin's carriage, making a loud "boom" in an instant.
A series of movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, completed in one go.
This time something unexpected happened. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

"It takes a thousand days to raise troops, but only a moment to deploy them. The high efficiency of the Guard Brigade is reflected at this moment."
After receiving Gao Jiyi’s warning, the combat readiness duty room began to operate at high speed. The first person to be notified was the young marshal's right-hand assistant Guo Songling. He immediately ordered to strengthen the security of the Governor's Mansion. An infantry company strengthened the security of the marshal's mansion and added four machine guns.
Next, the cavalry company directly under the Guards Brigade divided into three groups in platoon units to attack Zhang Zuolin on his way back. Considering that the enemy is hidden and we have a limited bodyguard around Marshal Zhang - according to Date Konosuke's confession, there are no less than five groups of people waiting for an opportunity to attack Zhang Zuolin. On the road between the 27th Division and the General's Mansion, the Kanto Governor's Mansion also Guandong Special High-Tech's manpower was dispatched - he didn't know how many there were. Guo Songling made a prompt decision and arranged for Wang Yizhe to guard the general's palace. He and Han Linchun each led an infantry and cavalry team to guard along the way. At the same time, they also called the 27th Division's combat readiness duty room and requested it to send cavalry units to assist in the operation. Compared with the Guards Brigade, the 27th Division has an integrated cavalry regiment with more than a thousand people.
However, there was only one regiment commander on duty at the top of the 27th Division that day. Although Yu Zhen was an old man in the army, he had been confined to the Guards for a long time. His ability to command the 27th Division was limited and he could not respond better. He just put the troops' The combat readiness level has been improved to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of chaos and attacking the camp.
This was less than ten minutes before the assassination.
Guo Songling and his party can be said to have provided help in times of need. After obtaining this new force, Zhang Zuolin's cordon range quickly expanded a lot. On the way back to the General's Mansion, no more accidents happened.
After seeing the machine guns and heavily armed soldiers set up at the door of the General's Mansion, Marshal Zhang, who was still in shock, breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Zhang Hanqing: "Xiao Liuzi leads good soldiers!" - It seems that it was still Xiao Liuzi. He has a good eye for people. Guo Songling and Gao Jiyi are both loyal and capable. Jiang Huanan's loyalty has been tested. Even Han Linchun won the jackpot. After he heard that Zhang Zuolin had returned home safely, he took the opportunity to clear the streets. Captured two blind armed Japanese ronin.
From then on, he had a very good impression of Guo Songling, and Gao Jiyi also took great credit for it. At Zhang Hanqing's suggestion, Gao Jiyi finally had the opportunity to lead the army alone. He was promoted to the director of the "Fengqi Bureau" and was directly responsible to Zhang Hanqing. It had been less than a month since he last served as the assistant director. It can be said that this incident was the biggest. winner. Yu Zhen, on the other hand, was downgraded in Zhang Zuolin's mind due to improper handling.
Furious, Zhang Zuolin decided to retaliate against the Japanese. He opened his team and directly requested negotiations with the Japanese Consulate in Fengtian. Everyone gained the stolen goods, and Japanese Consul Yoshida Shigeru had nothing to say. After all, fifteen assassins were captured alive, half of them Japanese, and there were seventeen corpses at the scene. The bomb that Zhang Zuolin was in danger was also intercepted by Gao Jiyi on the spot. heap. Now the witnesses are being deliberately forced to kneel on the street in front of the consulate, with bombs lined up in front of them. This is embarrassing for the Japanese!
Zhang Zuolin took advantage of the mentality of mourning soldiers and directly raged at Shigeru Yoshida: "Mr. Yoshida, I, Zhang Zuolin, have always behaved worthy of my Japanese friends, but what did they do to me? Who wants my life, Lao Zhang? If there is no explanation for this matter today, , will never be good!"
At this time, the influence of the Japanese government in Northeast China was far less profound than it would be ten years later. Zhang Zuolin was its agent in Fengtian, which was recognized by the Japanese cabinet and many "people of insight". The Japanese government believes that so far, no one can replace Zhang Zuolin in Fengtian, so the country generally supports Zhang Zuolin as their agent. This assassination incident was purely the work of a small group of Japanese soldiers in the Kwantung Governor's Mansion.
At this time, the Japanese military is far from emptying the cabinet as it did later. The Japanese political party still has a strong control over the country. If this matter becomes fermented, Yoshida Shigeru believes that the government will definitely use this to attack the military. strength. Although he is a member of the civilian government, he does not want to see this situation - he is also a believer in militarism.
And more importantly, China's rising momentum makes many Japanese politicians not optimistic about confronting China head-on now. After all, China's national strength has not yet declined to the bottom, while Japan has not yet risen. to its pre-World War II peak. Historically, it was only after another twenty years of development and China's twenty years of chaos that the gap between the two countries reached a level that the Japanese believed they could compete with. Despite this, the Japanese still conducted partial tests first, and after digesting the three northeastern provinces, which were not inferior to their own industrial strength, they then developed the ambition to fully invade China. This is true.
Yoshida Shigeru decisively chose to sacrifice his chariot to protect the commander, which would cost the opponent's life. He fully understood Zhang Zuolin's rage, and was also worried that the opponent would take risks under the rage, which would put Japan in danger.Many years of hard work by North Korea have come to nothing, even if Japan has full confidence and ability to suppress military conflicts with the other side. He said to the furious Zhang Zuolin: "What happened in Fengtian, I dare to swear to God, it was never supported by our government or even the Kwantung Army. I myself absolutely agree with getting along well with Zhang Zuolin."
Zhang Zuolin just took the opportunity to cause trouble, but he had no determination to break off relations with the Japanese - so what if he broke up with each other? At that time, the entire Beiyang army combined was no match for Japan, let alone a small military governor? However, if he makes a fuss like this, there is no problem in calming down, and the Japanese are basically hopeless if they want to survive.
In order to alleviate Zhang Zuolin's anger, Yoshida Shigeru contacted the Kwantung Governor's Office urgently and decided to sacrifice his soldiers to protect the commander and promised him a huge profit to comfort Lao Zhang. They arranged for the Manchurian Army's military affairs section chief Tanaka Yiichi, who had a sworn relationship with Zhang Zuolin, to come and make peace. . There is a legend that during the Russo-Japanese War, Zhang Zuolin was arrested by the Japanese as a Russian spy. When he was about to be shot for espionage, he was fortunately saved by Tanaka, who was then the staff officer of the First Division. Lao Zhang neither admitted nor denied this matter, but it was a fact that his relationship with Tanaka had always been very good.
Under Tanaka's mediation, Zhang Zuolin's anger subsided a lot, but he insisted that the Japanese side severely punish those who undermined "Sino-Japanese friendship." At his request, the unlucky Major General Doi was arranged to return to the country in advance and ended up being demoted and transferred to reserve service; Kanto Special High-Tech was sacrificed at the expense of the Ming Zhuang in the provincial capital of Fengtian; and Shigeru Yoshida asked the country for instructions from Zhang Zuolin. The five-million arms loan was to be repaid in one year; as for the unlucky Mimura reserve colonel, he also had a caesarean section to apologize.
This incident made the Kanto Governor's Office disgraced, and also caused the Japanese in Fengtian to dare not take any new actions against Zhang Zuolin for a long time. However, the relationship between Zhang Zuolin and them was also forged. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 155 Bandit Rebellion

Zhang Zuolin in the provincial capital was sharpening his skills and took the opportunity to seize power in the provincial capital on the pretext of assassination. This move caused the Japanese in Fengtian provincial capital to retreat. All the hidden lines for many years were lost, and the Japanese expansion pace was disrupted. However, because of the injustice, there were many voices in the country that opposed the actions of the Manchurian Railway troops against Zhang Zuolin, causing the Kwantung Governor's Office and the Manchurian Railway Garrison Headquarters to throw caution to the wind.
He didn’t dare to challenge Zhang Zuolin directly, but he had the idea of ??disrupting the situation by supporting war agents. Since the Revolution of 1911, when China's political situation underwent major changes, Japanese imperialism took advantage of the opportunity to split "Manchuria and Mongolia" from China and tried to build a Manchu-Mongolian puppet kingdom. For this reason, the Japanese military usually pays attention to bribing some local armed forces in Manchuria and Mongolia. Among these people, Babu Zabu is an "outstanding" representative.
He was originally from the Tumed Left Banner of Mongolia. When the Living Buddha Jebizundamba of Kulun in Outer Mongolia declared "independence" in the second year of the Republic of China with the support of Tsarist Russia and called himself the "Emperor of Sunlight", he was a police station in a county. Director. After being delighted to hear that the "Great Mongol Empire" was established, Babuzabu took his family and dozens of tribesmen and defected to the Kulun government of Outer Mongolia. Along the way, he gathered more than 2,000 tribesmen and was named the title by Zhebizundanba. "General Zhendong" and "Gong Zhenguo". This was the starting point of his military and political career.
By the time the "China-Russia-Mongolia Agreement" was signed in June 1915, Outer Mongolia canceled its "independence". In order to eliminate this group of rebels that are beyond the reach of the army, the government of the Republic of China announced that it would "completely pardon the crimes of all Mongolians who have attached themselves to the Outer Mongolian Autonomous Government, and allow the people of Inner and Outer Mongolia to continue to live freely in this place." This appeases Babu Zhabu and others to stabilize Mongolia.
However, Babuzabu did not disband the bandits. Instead, he sought arms assistance from the Russian and Japanese invaders in an attempt to obtain the status that the Hulunbuir people "obtained with the help of the Russians." He "decided to build the Xilin Gol League into a separate ministry and presided over the ministry with the title of Duke. He also demanded that the ministry be exempted from paying any kind of tax, and requested that the salt tax revenue in the ministry be handed over to him. He proposed that he submit to the jurisdiction of the Chinese government and disband the gang as a condition for realizing this wish." These demands were made to the Chahar Governor, and they were obviously intended to achieve "semi-independence" in the Xi League. No matter how weak Lao Yuan was, these unreasonable demands were naturally rejected in his hands.
Babuzabu did not give up and continued to request weapons assistance from Russia and Japan. At the same time, he led bandits to loot and harass the Xilin Gol League. The Tsarist government still supported him, and the Outer Mongolian government had an ambiguous attitude toward his existence, and was still paying the salaries of Babu Zabu and his soldiers. It can be said that Babuzabu is a traitor jointly cultivated by Russia and Outer Mongolia.
However, at the end of 1915, Babu Zabu was finally defeated by the central government's army, and it was a disastrous defeat.
In order to save this Russian bastard, the Russian government instructed its deputy consul in Hailar, Wu Sati, to provide Babuzab with "advice" on reconciliation with the Chinese government. The situation at this time is that if the Babu Zabu gang continues to use force against the Chinese government, it will face the fate of being completely eliminated. The tsarist government took this move in order to retain this puppet armed force for future use. .
Babuzabu, who has gone through difficult times, has not changed his evil intentions and still insists on the position of separatist rebellion. While he sought support from Russia, he continued to flirt with the Japanese. It was at this time that the Japanese Kanto Governorate took advantage of him and provided support to the Pakistani bandits. Japanese officers and unidentified Japanese went to Babu Zabu's residence to meet with him, allowing Babu Zabu to obtain weapons from Kuanchengzi. . Since then, Babuzabu has participated in the "Manchurian independence" activities carried out by the Japanese military.
Former Prince Shanqi of the Qing Dynasty gathered a group of remnants of the Qing Dynasty and local armed forces of Mongolia and Han to organize the "Zongshe Party" and the "Qinwang Army". After the assassination of Zhang Zuolin failed, he also contacted Babu Zabu in order to create momentum. In this way, Babuzabu, who hit it off immediately, offered sacrifices to heaven and earth in Amugulangtu on May 28, 1916, and gathered a crowd to swear to support the establishment of the Qing Dynasty. On July 1, he led more than 3,000 Mongolian cavalry under the command of the Japanese captain Qing Yishengmin. Under the banner of "King Qin's Restoration Army", he set out from the Khalkha River in the Hulunbuir League and stalked towards Taonan, threatening To Zhang Zuolin's benefit, or Zhang Zuolin saw the benefit from it.
Hulunbuir was nominally under the jurisdiction of Jehol at this time, but the Russian power was far more penetrating than that of China; Taonan was located in the northwest of Jilin, and the military control of Jilin General Meng Enyuan was relatively weak. This area is a de facto "three no matter" policy, and the Japanese have been favoring it for a long time. According to the vague plan of the Japanese, a Manchu-Mongolia Republic was to be established between Northeast China and Jehol. If this group of people can create a climate, it will be equivalent to driving a nail in the hinterland of Northeast China; if there is any disagreement, the Japanese army can take the opportunity to enter Inner Mongolia, the hinterland of Northeast China that it has long desired, under the banner of suppressing bandits. As for the excuse, it already existed in history: to protect the South Manchuria Railway.
Zhang Zuolin had a deep hatred for the Japanese at this time, and he had long had the ambition to unify Northeast China. Now that a small group of bandits are harassing the place, it is the time for him to show his talents. In addition to ordering his ally Wu Junsheng to send troops to prevent him from escaping to Heilongjiang, he also notified Jiang Guiti, the governor of Rehe, and Bi Guifang, the general of Heilongjiang Province, to send elite troops to encircle and suppress the enemy from the northeast and northwest. Meng Enyuan of Jilin Province also sent troops to assist in the suppression. Because Feng Delin was also nominally a subordinate of Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuolin ordered Feng Delin's 28th Division to send a brigade to intercept it from Kailu and other places and outflank it from the south, preparing to annihilate it all in one fell swoop.
But Jidu Meng Enyuan and Jiangdu Bi Guifang were unable to do their jobs, especially Bi Guifang, who was far away in Heilongjiang and ignored Zhang Zuolin's request - both brothers are generals, right? Why is it your turn, the bandit Zhang, to point fingers at me?
Feng Delin also had another thought: The "King Qin Restoration Army" was harassing Zhang Zuolin's rear wing. He didn't have time to add insult to injury. How could he help Zhang Zuolin eliminate this scourge? Moreover, Taonan is the territory of Jilin, and General Meng has not made any plans yet. What does he mean by attacking it? Therefore, he replied to Zhang Zuolin: "Fengbu has the important responsibility of the Central Committee to defend Beizhen. He dare not leave the defense area without permission. However, if the bandits enter our Beizhen, I will personally lead a brigade and a division to eliminate the rebels." Below the city.”
It was Feng Yong who raised his concerns: "The relationship between my father and Zhang Zuolin is getting worse and worse. With Zhang Zuolin's ambition, he will never stay under others for a long time. What will happen then? Moreover, it is the duty of soldiers to protect the people and protect their country. If they betray the bandits, If the climate is created, it will be unfavorable to suppress the bandits. The rebel bandits will definitely move south from my father's defense area. It is not impossible if Marshal Zhang bites back and indulges the bandits. Please think again, father."
Feng Delin laughed: "It is not easy to wipe out this bandit army. When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. Zhang Zuolin has to guard against the Japanese as well as me. There will not be too many troops out. It will take a long time and he will not die from exhaustion." They also have to peel off their skin. If they are defeated or can't fight for a long time, I will take action again. I will let those people in Beijing see what I can do. If they win, the defeated army will definitely pass through my defense area again, and then I will beat them hard. Reservoir Dog saves effort and looks good, no matter what you do, it is a credit."

Indeed, a mere three thousand people could not pose a serious problem to Zhang Zuolin. However, considering that the "Qinwang Army" in southern Liaoning established by the Zongshe Party under the protection of the Japanese in Fengtian and southern Jilin is also quite powerful, once the two are combined, a pincer attack from the north and the south may result in a situation where the enemy cannot be defeated. If the Japanese indulge themselves, which is indeed the case, the entire southern Fengtian Province may no longer be owned by Zhang Zuolin.
“And if a team of 3,000 people just slipped away from Zhang Zuolin’s defense zone in such a mighty way, where would Lao Zhang’s prestige be? Does Fengtian Twenty-Seventh Division still have face? What will the Central Committee say? Besides, the culprit of the assassination has not yet been punished, and Zhang Zuolin is full of anger. He cannot bear it!
And this assumption is very likely to happen, because according to the intelligence of the "Service Bureau", this bandit army has been preserved under the protection of the Japanese and was dispatched according to the instructions of the Japanese; in terms of personnel, it is said that It is said that Captain Qing Yi Shengmin, who was a regular officer, and some hidden Japanese soldiers were mixed in. Whatever they were doing, they must have some agenda based on their understanding of the Japanese over the years. As the saying goes, there is no love without reason, and there is no hate without reason. Zhang Zuolin's jurisdiction intersects with the South Manchuria Railway under Japanese control. Any loophole has the opportunity to allow bandits to "pass harmlessly".
Zhang Zuolin convened the senior generals of the 27th Division at the General's Mansion to discuss the suppression of bandits. Zhang Hanqing, Han Linchun, and Guo Songling, as new generation officers, were also present. He stared at the huge map of Fengtian and Northeast China on the wall, thinking hard.
According to the usual tactics of the Japanese, suppressing bandits is not a problem. The problem is how to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of loopholes in the process of suppressing bandits. Think about the story in Shandong the year before last. The Japanese declared war on Germany and attacked Qingdao, and immediately used the Jiaoji Railway on the pretext of war. After the war, in the name of maintaining order, they refused to leave. When conflicts with the Chinese people occurred, they immediately went to war to achieve complete military occupation of the railway, but during negotiations they asked China to redeem themselves.
Where is the place where the Japanese want to gain benefits?
Only Liaoyuan!
Liaoyuan’s real name is Zhengjiatun. It was originally the land of the Zhelim League. It was renamed in the second year of the Republic of China. It is located at the junction of Jilin and Fengtian, guarding the South Manchuria Railway from the east and a good place leading to Inner Mongolia to the west. Considering that Zhang Zuolin was in Fengtian and firmly blocked the Japanese's westward advance, the geographical location was very important.
According to the Treaty of Portsmouth, Chinese troops are not allowed to station troops for thirty miles on both sides of the South Manchuria Railway, but the Japanese only have a staff of two railway guards per kilometer. The dream of swallowing up Mongolia and establishing a "Manchu-Mongolia Republic" cannot be achieved in any case with such a small amount of manpower. Only encroaching and advancing towards Inner Mongolia bit by bit is the right way. So the Japanese set up a police station in Liaoyuan without authorization, despite the strong protests of the Chinese government.
It’s not your territory, and it doesn’t care about your people administratively. What’s the point of setting up a police station? But this is the Japanese logic: to protect Japanese expatriates.
With this police station, the Japanese will interfere in surrounding affairs in an honest and upright manner. Anything that has anything to do with the South Manchuria Railway and anything that has an impact on Liaoyuan security is the Japanese business. In a word, the Japanese are the "public police" of Northeast China.
If the rebel bandits flow here, the problem will be huge. The Japanese can station troops in the name of "suppressing the bandits". The hinterland of Jilin and the right wing of Fengtian will be exposed to the iron hoof of the Japanese.
??????????????????????????????????????????????OUT????????????????? out out of nowhere, hit the Japanese lackeys every time they move, without giving Japan the time or excuse to interfere.
But if we want to send troops to intercept, to be honest, the troops are a bit stretched.
A twenty-seventh division must not only guard against the same division Feng Delin in Beizhen, which is just a stone's throw away, but also must guard Fengtian Provincial City and other places, making it impossible to distinguish them. Moreover, considering that there are still a large number of Japanese soldiers in Fengtian City, after experiencing the assassinations in the past few months, Lao Zhang both hates the Japanese deeply and is wary of them: Who can guarantee that the Japanese assassination will not succeed? Will he directly give a military advice? Woolen cloth? However, the rebels are harassing everywhere. Although they are a mob, if they want to stabilize the situation, they must have a large number of troops to completely annihilate them. Otherwise, the defeated army will be scattered and scattered all over the Huzitun area. If the tail is not lost, it will be chaos outside the pass. Isn't this adding chaos to one's own strategy?
At this time, someone thought of the student army: "They are mules or horses, let's go out for a walk. Didn't I hear that the student army is well trained? Can they fight?" This was the strange voice of Tang Yulin, commander of the 53rd Brigade. The Guards Brigade caught up from behind and established a division-level structure not long after its formation. Not only did its numbers catch up with the 27th Division, but its equipment was also given priority. Seeing a group of student officers coming from behind and rising to high positions like regiment commander and battalion commander without even making any achievements, why don't these Fengtian veterans take advantage of them? As soon as Tang Yulin said this, many people immediately agreed.
Sun Liechen said: "The Marshal's Guard Brigade is naturally good, but it takes a long time to establish it."There are too many, and the training is not enough. It may be inconvenient to use it in a hurry. If you get off to a bad start, your morale will plummet. The 27th Division can still form a regiment. With the strength of these bandits, one regiment of our main force should be more than enough. "This is a good intention to protect the young commander.
Zhang Zuoxiang, who has always had a close relationship with the Marshal, thinks that using these bandits to train troops is a good way: "Although the student army has not experienced a big battle, since it is an army, it will have to withstand the test sooner or later. The Marshal has been training troops for some time, so let these officers and soldiers It's okay to go and experience it. A good soldier will naturally have to fight often to become good. I think now is a good opportunity to train troops: the opponent is not very strong, and if you take 10,000 steps back, you won't be defeated. Go." This was because he knew the strength of the Guard Brigade and wanted the young marshal to take this opportunity to stand out.
After some thought, Zhang Hanqing and Guo Songling also felt that this was a good opportunity to train troops. And there is another very important opportunity. Once Fengjun sends troops to Taonan, it will be equivalent to driving a wedge into the border of Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces. Looking at the map, we can see that Taonan is located in the northwest of Jilin, but it is very close to Qiqihar, the capital of Heilongjiang Province (Note: At this time, Harbin was just a riverside city under Russian control. It was only when the Japanese army completely controlled the North-Manchuria Railway that the intersection It was only after the South Manchuria and North Manchuria Railway that Harbin showed its important status and replaced Qiqihar as the provincial capital). Once there are changes in Jiang Province, the journey from Taonan will be nearly half the distance from Fengtian.
And to be honest, Zhang Hanqing did not have any psychological pressure to deal with this insurgent army. What he was worried about was how to completely annihilate the opponent while occupying superior strength. This is the meaning of this battle. You must know that the opponent only has 3,000 people, but your own army has a large force of tens of thousands! As long as the tactics are right, if the opponent finds a case where fewer defeats more with three times the force, it is better to find a piece of tofu and die.
Zhang Zuolin was also very moved: "Well, it's okay to let the new recruit Danzi see the wind and rain, and stay at home. When will it become a reality?" In one sentence, it was decided that the Guard Brigade would end its paper talks and begin its real military career. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 160 Attack
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
After two days of rapid march, the cavalry company under Guo Songling as the vanguard has approached the Huolin River. There was no one in the Yijun blocking force that was supposed to be seen. This made the company commander Wang Wensheng very puzzled. He sent a platoon leader Li Debiao to explore the way.
Yes, this is Li Debiao. Because of his loyalty to his duty, he was favored by Marshal Zhang. He was promoted to captain and entered the Fengtian Martial Arts Hall to study. After Zhang Hanqing decided to send troops to suppress the bandits, he strongly requested to join the army and join the war. In line with the mentality of training reserve forces, Zhang Hanqing not only readily agreed, but also let him hold an important position - the main platoon leader of the cavalry company directly under the Guards Brigade.
Due to the inconvenience of communication, Guo Songling's troops on the move had no idea of ??the battle ahead, and were still working hard to march towards Huolingol City according to the established plan. Wang Wensheng's department, which only had a hundred or ten cavalrymen, divided a platoon of troops to follow Han Linchun as a communication force. The existing strength was very weak. It was only ordered to understand the enemy's situation and observe the enemy's situation for the follow-up troops at all times to facilitate the main force's decision-making.
The intermittent gunfire in the distance made Wang Wensheng raise his eyes to the small town of Tulemaodu. When his cavalry company approached the battlefield where the two sides were fighting, they were faced with a dark group of enemies and a group of soldiers surrounded by black cavalry in the distance. After Yijun saw the dilapidated military flag, he immediately made a decision.
"The ancients have a famous saying that 'the general will be outside, and the emperor's orders will not be ignored'. The situation of modern war is changing rapidly, and commanders should grasp the situation on the spot in a timely manner, make judgments and implement them on the spot in emergency and lost contact situations, and Do not fight dogmatically according to pre-existing regulations. After all, the enemy will not obediently follow your ideas." This was the only strategic doctrine that Wang Wensheng was able to use in just three months of study at the Fengtian Military Academy.
This order made his campaign against bandits very popular later on.
At this time, Guo Songling's troops are still a hundred miles away. After two days of rapid march, even if they arrive, they should not be able to fight if the enemy is waiting for work.
But Wang Wensheng judged that Yijun would never survive tonight if he waited for the main force to arrive. In this way, when the main force arrives, the rebels will have sufficient time and energy to make various attempts——if they choose to flee, it is not only a wise choice, but also makes the bandit suppression trip more variable—— ——Blocking the rebels from advancing westward is a major decision that has been made.
Only by trying to retain friendly forces can we have a chance to contain the opponent head-on. Although it seems that these friendly forces are too weak; the only way to retain them is to prevent the rebels' cavalry advantage from being fully utilized. As mentioned earlier, the most practical way to restrain the enemy's cavalry is to use another cavalry unit.
But my own strength is too weak. What role can these hundreds of troops have among the swarming rebels? Unless it's one block for ten, no, proportionally speaking, it's one block for twenty!
Wang Wensheng believes that rapid and violent attacks must be used to disrupt the enemy's siege: rush in and out quickly without entangled with the main enemy and disrupting their command system. After he quickly shared his thoughts with several platoon leaders, he said calmly: "In this battle, we will definitely defeat more with less, and we will definitely escape death. I, Wang Wensheng, have already given my head to the marshal and marshal. You guys Many of them are still young. Now there is an opportunity. I need two or three people to report the war situation to the chief of staff and nearby friendly forces. Which of you will deliver the message? "
Sending letters means leaving the battlefield and is synonymous with safety. The officers and soldiers of the cavalry company, who already had a sense of honor and blood, rushed to kill the enemy. They spat at the Song platoon leader, who was famous for his bold and bold words in the company, and said: "It takes a thousand days to raise troops in a moment, but it's grandma's fault to be a deserter on the battlefield." Three generations of our ancestors have been embarrassed." Platoon leader Li Debiao also said: "If I don't use it anymore, my saber will get rusty. I will be the javelin in this battle."
This group of recruits, who have been trained for only three months, have already developed a strong sense of collective honor under the influence of the teaching team. Although their battlefield experience is still lacking, their ferocity and spirit of sacrifice are unprecedented. Even though they knew that they would risk death if they stayed, and that returning to report the news was a reasonable and safe opportunity, no one in the cavalry company was willing to accept the order.
Wang Wensheng selected three child soldiers with childish faces to deliver the message - they were still young and had not been in the military camp for a short time. It was unbearable to die like this, but the child soldiers, who had a sense of shame, were unwilling to leave.
Seventeen-year-old Liu Heidan is such a person. This orphan who used to wander around Fengtian Province has felt the warmth of the military camp since the day he entered the Guards Brigade. He regards the military camp as his home and Paoze as his brother. For such an opportunity, he shed tears and wanted to give up. Such a sensible child soldier infected the whole company.
Wang Wensheng still coaxed and deceived them until he used military orders to make them leave quickly - since they were definitely going to die here today, he might as well leave some seeds for the cavalry company.
Seeing that his troops were ready, Wang Wensheng immediately gathered his troops. He said loudly to the officers and soldiers lined up: "Brother,Guys, there are rebels in front of us. If they break the defense line of Brother Yijun today, when our main force arrives, we may never have the chance to annihilate this group of enemies. Because the enemy has horses, he has the opportunity to escape far away. If we want to suppress the bandits at that time, it will cost a lot of manpower and time, and our people will suffer more disasters.
“ Moreover, it was this bandit army that caused Captain Han of the second regiment to be bullied by the Japanese. Our young marshal decided to go on foot, and he was going to crush these thieves who were trying to steal everything into ashes! The humiliation received from the Japanese must be repaid first from the Japanese lackeys! Now is an opportunity!
"There are few of us, it doesn't matter, we are not afraid of death!" When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. Light up your sabers and slash at these traitors and traitors to avenge their shame! "
"Avenge your shame!" This was the loud reply of hundreds of people. This sound alarmed the Pakistani bandit troops who were arranging their troops, and also raised the clouds in the sky.
"Avenge the shame!" This was the cry of Wang Wensheng, who took the lead. Using him as an arrow, the cavalry formed a cone shape and penetrated into the ranks of the rebels in Zhennan. Like a stormy wave crashing on the shore, it hit the rocks hard, causing waves of echoes.
After receiving the news, Babuzabu rushed to the southern battlefield and saw a team of 100 people rushing into his battle formation. He couldn't believe it. He asked the military advisers, Japanese advisers and joint commanders around him, Bow-legged Qing Yi Shengmin: "Qing Yi Jun, whose army are they? How dare they charge into my battle formation with just such a small number of people?"
Qing Yi Shengmin, who originally had the rank of captain, changed his position after receiving a team of no less than 3,000 people. He named himself the deputy commander-in-chief of the "King Qin's Restoration Army." He watched the battle situation with a serious face and replied: "According to the intelligence and progress, Zhang Zuolin's Guard Brigade should have arrived. As for which team this will be in the early stage, it is still unclear. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is just a small number of people. "
Babuzabu laughed arrogantly: "A person with such an idea wants to compete with my elite cavalry. Bandit Zhang really thinks highly of himself!"
Qing Yi shook his head slightly: "The fighting ability of this group of people is extraordinary." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

On the battlefield, the wails of the felled horses and the screams of the soldiers beneath their hooves were mixed with the clash of sabers made of gold and iron, creating a magnificent scene in the sunset. The Pakistani bandits, who had been running rampant for many days, finally encountered a tough enemy. Under the fierce attack of the Guards Brigade Cavalry Company, dozens of cavalry in the front row were cut off their horses, while the rest of the bandits wisely moved out of the way.
Wang Wensheng broke out of the siege and returned to the starting point. He counted the number of people and found that seven people could not follow him back. There were only 98 people left in the team of 100 people! He raised the bloody saber in his hand and said with great momentum: "How do you think? Do you dare to come back as a whole team?"
"Hahaha, why don't you dare? Come again!" The person who spoke was the fourth platoon leader Song Mingmin. He was slightly out of breath, after all, the fight just now was quite strenuous. But when he really saw red, he became more bloody. Wang Wensheng, who knew several of his platoon leaders fairly well, knew that Platoon Leader Song had a background as a butcher before joining the army. He was not afraid of blood and had a lot of strength.
Wang Wensheng galloped out on horseback, raised his sword and shouted: "While the enemy has not turned around, the cavalry company, attack!"
His thousands of soldiers and horses actually allowed a team of more than a hundred people to attack calmly, which greatly damaged Babu Zabu's face, which was promoted by the Japanese as "Genghis Khan's return". But what made him even more angry was that this group of people actually dared to ride their horses and kill them again!
If we let it succeed again, the blow to morale will be fatal. Therefore, Babuzabu called his loyal arm Chahan Buhua, who was also the advance commander of the "King Qin's Restoration Army": "Chahan Buhua, you are the pride of the Mongols, go and annihilate this enemy on the opposite side. It’s time to show those damn Han people how strong you are!”
Chahan Buhua means "white bull" in Mongolian, and he is indeed as strong as an ox.
This Mongolian warrior who was loyal to Babu Zabu quickly organized a gang of hundreds of people. Relying on his brute strength, he clashed with Wang Wensheng who was speeding past.
This is a real showdown in the era of hard weapons! This kind of horse-riding battle tests the superb horse-control skills, arm strength and use of strength of both parties. At the moment when the fast horses cross each other, with the strong inertia, the thick handle of the knife can cut a person in half, without the need for a sharp weapon. Therefore, in many literatures describing ancient wars, a head-on confrontation is called a round. In the second round, both sides have to turn their horses around, charge again, and then repeat the first fight. This is purely a contest of strength, far less beautiful than it is in literary descriptions.
The two horses collided with each other, and the sabers colliding made a harsh metal friction sound. It wasn't until a hundred steps away that Wang Wensheng realized that the saber in his hand had a large gaping hole. When he thrust the saber into the belly of an unlucky bandit in front of him, the saber was finally not strong enough and broke.
The two sides passed each other, followed closely by their companions. No matter whether you hit or miss, whether you hit someone or get hit, there is no chance to look back.
Platoon Leader Song died in this round of fighting. When the two sides were entangled, he was forcefully knocked off his saber by Chahan Buhua, who burst out with ferocity. Then when the horse slowed down, he was beheaded by a fierce bandit next to him. He was still alive when he was about to die. Not a sound was made.
As the enemy slowed down and lost the effect of the surprise attack, the second round was the most brutal battle fought by the cavalry company: a platoon leader, a squad leader, including Platoon Leader Song, and thirty-three The warriors rest in this meadow.
Wang Wensheng was also slightly injured, and other officers and soldiers were also injured. However, in this situation, only simple bandages can be done. The main enemy at present is fatigue. Wang Wensheng looked at his comrades who were unfamiliar with him a few days ago and grinned: "How about it? Charge again?!"
Li Debiao said: "I am alone anyway, so I am not afraid of death. As long as the living brothers burn some incense paper for us at the end of the year, it is enough."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away.
Facing a powerful enemy, the best way is to escape! If you can't escape, you can only rush forward bravely, disrupt their structure, and take advantage of the chaos. Otherwise, the consequences of being surrounded will definitely be worse than taking the initiative to charge! Wang Wensheng understands this.
It’s okay to retreat. Facing the superior enemy, he has made two suicidal charges, wiping out a number of people no less than his own, with both success and failure. No one else can say anything. They have proven that they are not cowards, and their mission is not to confront the enemy head-on!
But this battle still has to be fought! The Political Department has made it very clear what the consequences will be if this bandit army flees. As someone who witnessed the arrogance and violence of the Japanese at Fengtian Station,Witnesses who heard the young commander's unyielding cry, Wang Wensheng and others had a heartfelt hatred for this rebel bandit. To beat these scum of the nation is to slap the masters behind them, the Japanese. At the same time, Wang Wensheng was secretly struggling in his heart: Even if they were all told here today, they would still be held back!
Turning the horse's head, getting into position, raising the saber high. Wang Wensheng picked up a saber that had lost its owner from the grass and still took the lead in charging towards the enemy position. His eyes were focused on Chahan Buhua's position, and he was shouting in his heart: "Avenge the dead Platoon Leader Song!"
Babuzabu will never understand why the cavalry on the opposite side gave up the chance to survive even though they had a chance to escape? Judging from their fierce performance just now, if the opponent retreats, those soldiers on our own side will never dare to pursue it hard.
They just chose to attack without hesitation!
For a moment, even the murderous Babuzabu was a little moved. Even if he is a devil, he respects the devil.
Hands up, swords down. Wang Wensheng didn't know how many knives he had struck, nor how many people he had killed. Anyway, the moment he drew the knife, no bandit dared to sharpen his edge. His eyes could no longer see the road ahead clearly, because the blood of the enemy, his own, and comrades-in-arms was splashed all over his face; due to the fatigue of continuous fighting, his hands gradually became unable to lift up, and his waist gradually became weak. Can't stand up straight. He killed too many people.
Wang Wensheng doesn’t know how many times he has escaped from evil hands, how many people’s sabers have been knocked off, and how many people’s heads have been chopped off. When he rushed out of the enemy's formation and lay on his horse gasping for air, he didn't even count how many people were following him.
Fourteen, nine out of ten!
Before you have time to dismount, your comrades will gather together again. After a brief meeting, they decided to be loyal to the country even if they die! No last words, no regrets. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

The third charge of the cavalry company has begun! Wang Wensheng's first sword hit Chahan Buhua, a Mongolian warrior who had killed his fellow Song platoon leader for several months.
Without any cover, he just raised the curled saber and swung it straight towards Chahan Buhua. There were no fancy moves, no other thoughts, and he didn't even dodge the knife he handed him during the opportunity. Completely the same style of play that belongs to the ban.
The bandits who committed all kinds of evil were also shocked by these brave warriors who were not afraid of death. Chahan Buhua, who was as strong as an ox, lost his fighting spirit. He simply did not understand how a flesh and blood body could have such a will of steel. When Wang Wensheng tried his best to swing the saber again with his hand that was too tired to lift it, he was shamefully frightened and ran away. He pulled up the reins and tried to escape to one side from the gap between the two armies.
However, Wang Wensheng’s saber, which seemed to have little strength, still hit him in the back of the head.
The remaining warriors of the cavalry company had no shouts or fear, but only one belief: cut, cut, cut! As long as I can still fight, I will never put down the saber in my hand.
The courage to face death can still infect people, whether they are friends or opponents.
The besieged Yijun officers and soldiers were infected, and they were ashamed of their cowardice; the rebels were also infected, and many of them Mongolians also had the tradition of respecting warriors, whether they were friends or foes. Chahan did not die, and their last bit of courage to fight was lost. Even though there were many of them, and even though they had many opportunities, they jointly chose to leave their backs to their companions and use their own two legs to avoid the cavalry company. The edge also gave the cavalry company a chance to survive.
The fourth time we gathered, there were only seven people left!
Wang Wensheng had been stabbed five times, and his lips were pale due to excessive blood loss. He slowly scanned the remaining comrades with his peripheral vision: Li Debiao, Guo Xiaozhu, Fatty Hu, Liu Daguo, and two soldiers whose names he could not name. He said in a hoarse voice: "I, Wang Wensheng, would like to thank my brothers. It is the greatest honor of my life to be able to die fighting with you here!"
Rein up your horses, form a team, and hold your sword. Wang Wensheng shouted: "Cavalry company, prepare to attack!"
When Wang Wensheng and his party set up their formation and prepared to make the final sacrifice, the roar of machine guns was heard in the distance. This was a spontaneous attack on the rebels by Yijun soldiers inspired by their blood, led by some spirited officers or veterans, consciously or unconsciously. Seeing that the lonely cavalry company was still desperate for death despite the huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves, even the already decayed Yijun was infected. They were ashamed that so many of their troops were suppressed and beaten by the rebels, and blood was the best color to wash away shame.
The rebels also lost their fighting spirit. Robbery of homes and houses, fish and meat herders, this is what they are good at. But when an enemy who is not afraid of death is in front of them, their courage has long been lost in Java. Now, Yi Jun, who had been chased and beaten by them, became as hard as if he had taken Viagra, and they became timid.
It’s like cutting through thorns and waves, like entering a deserted place. The rebels deliberately avoided the few warriors in the cavalry company, which further showed their prowess.
Babu Zabu had never seen such a heroic team. He looked at the bow-legged people watching the battle and said in surprise: "Qing Yijun, I really didn't expect that the fighting spirit of this team is so fierce!"
Qing Yi Shengmin said in a prophetic tone: "I have said before that the combat effectiveness of this cavalry cannot be underestimated."
Babuzabu said with concern: "If Zhang Zuolin's troops are so powerful, then there is no need to fight this battle. We should return to Mongolia."
Qing Yi Shengmin looked into the distance with his wise eyes: "To fight against us, Zhang Zuolin must first send his elite troops to take the lead, to give us a decisive blow. There is a saying in ancient Chinese art of war: 'The above is against the middle; Use the middle ones to fight against the lower ones; the lower ones to fight against the upper ones. He used his elite to defeat our ordinary soldiers, and he took us by surprise, which made him appear powerful. Don't be afraid, encircling and annihilating this elite force is already a matter of fingertips. He said easily: "I don't know how Zhang Zuolin felt after knowing that his entire elite cavalry army was destroyed."
Until now, he still thought that the Guard Brigade was personally commanded by Zhang Zuolin.
Babuzabu grinned and wanted to smile in agreement but couldn't. Looking at the battlefield, our side had dozens of times the advantage, but was killed several times by the other side. Although the opponent was at the end of his strength, the bandit army was killed and seriously injured no less than 200 people. In Mongolian tradition, even if the opponent dies, he will be honored. Even if he is a bandit, he respects such a hero.
It was getting late, and if I didn’t annihilate this cavalry, I was afraid that I would not be able to take over this town, and I would have to sleep in the wild tonight. What was even more frightening was that I had no idea whether the other party had reinforcements or when the reinforcements would arrive. So, he decided to make a final crackdown on this remnant enemy.destroy.
There is also a way, and we should cherish each other. As a sign of respect for his opponent, he decided to take action personally and try his best to make his opponent die with honor in a respectful manner. He waved his horse forward and said loudly: "Generals on the opposite side, tell me your numbers!"
Wang Wensheng knew that this was probably the last time in his life that he would attend a speech in person. He solemnly adjusted his clothes - his clothes were soaked with blood and sweat, half of his hat was cut off, and one of his buttons was cut off. I don't know when it disappeared, but it was probably lying quietly in a corner.
He shouted with all his strength, almost in a roar: "Guard Brigade, Cavalry Company!"
Babu Zabu sang a hymn in the hum of his own side: "Even if you are Han people, you are also warriors among the Han people. Although you and I are our own masters, I, Babu Zabu, still admire your courage. You have fought alone until now. , I have tried my best. As long as you are willing, I can let you leave or join my team. Don't worry, you will definitely have a better future than following Zhang Zuolin!"
Wang Wensheng laughed loudly: "Fart! I follow the commander-in-chief. Instead of pursuing such a promising career, I will become a bandit with you? What a fucking dream!" His words made several other cavalry officers and soldiers laugh. Wang Wensheng's stomach was injured, and his smile caused the wound to throb. The cracked canthus and the pain in his mouth made people who didn't know the truth think he had cramps from laughing.
Babuzabu was furious, and he said in a deep voice: "I wanted to let you live, but you dare to say something stupid. Since you are tired of living, I will help you!" He said viciously: "Horqin Grassland, This is where your bones are buried. Don’t worry, I will dig a hole myself and bury your bodies.”
Wang Wensheng smiled bitterly in his heart: "I don't want to be buried by you, I want to leave on my own!" Of course, the scene still screamed fiercely: "Don't worry, even though you are bandits, if you die, I will bury you with my own hands. Young Marshal He often told us that we must be humanitarian." This young marshal had such a great influence on him that he still remembered such a term before he died.
Babu Zabu didn’t care what he meant. He shouted loudly: “Everyone, listen! Raise your sabers and annihilate all the enemies on the opposite side! Leave no one behind!”
The neighing of strong horses is about to reveal the clarion call of attack. The extremely exhausted warriors of the cavalry company are absolutely unable to resist this overwhelming murderous intent. But whether it was Wang Wensheng as the chief officer, Li Debiao, Guo Xiaozhu, Fatty Hu, Liu Daguo, or two soldiers who couldn't be named, they all faced it calmly without fear of life or death.
After several months of political education, they know that there are many kinds of death: sacrificing one's life for righteousness and sacrificing one's life for the country is death, and being a coward means death; death is one that will go down in history, and death is one that will be remembered for thousands of years. Those who die to suppress bandits and protect the people of Fengtian from bandits will be recorded on the monuments of history and admired by the people.
Even if the cavalry company was completely wiped out, it did not discredit the young marshal or the new army. Regardless of the outcome, after this battle, the cavalry company will definitely become famous! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 163 A little test

The cavalry company survived.
Their last battle, if fought, would definitely result in the total annihilation of the entire army. Not to mention the high morale, even killing a group of pigs would be enough to tire them to death.
Maybe life shouldn’t be cut off. Just when Babuzabu was about to enjoy the pleasure of annihilating this "stubborn army", the bow-legged man who was looking at him screamed: "What is that!"
Babuzabu trembled. Even when faced with a cavalry company, a powerful enemy that he had never encountered in his life, Qingyi Shengmin had never been so surprised. What made this Japanese general who boasted that "Taishan Mountain collapses without changing his expression" so forgetful? He picked up the telescope, and the scene in front of him made him feel chilled from the bottom of his heart.
A large number of cavalry rushed towards here from a distance, like a rolling torrent. As light as ever, as tough as ever.
Babuzabu and Qingyi Shengmin looked at each other, and unnaturally thought of one thing: If this unit can fight as well as the cavalry company just now, where should they go?
The horses that Wang Wensheng, Li Debiao and others were about to run out stopped. The huge movement behind them made these intelligent beasts flick their tails uneasily. Several people from the surviving cavalry company looked at each other and inquired. Their faces suddenly lit up with joy. It was our people who had arrived!
Yes, it’s Tan Hai’s special operations brigade.
Tan Hai's special operations brigade was able to receive reinforcements before Guo Songling's main force. It happened that Zhang Hanqing knew the stain on Babu Zabu's history and concluded that he would flee to the prairie he was familiar with, and Guo Songling could catch up with him. The army has only one cavalry company, and the disparity in strength will make the Guard Brigade's first battle unfavorable. Therefore, it was decided to send out a yet-to-be-formed special operations brigade.
Guo Songling had already set out for a day. Even if emergency marches were common during training, and Zhang Hanqing also assigned cavalry to the officers and soldiers of the special operations brigade, there was no way the special operations brigade could catch up with the cavalry company in just two days. However, considering that the cavalry company is not a lightly-armed pursuit, but only serves as the vanguard of the bandit suppression army on the Western Front and cannot stay too far away from the main force, the speed of the special operations brigade is still faster than that of the cavalry company.
If the cavalry company hadn't separated from the main force in this long-distance assault, the special operations brigade would have definitely caught up a hundred miles ago. After two days of rapid march, Tan Hai judged that the cavalry company as the vanguard of the Western Route Army should have arrived at the bank of the Huolin River, because the news from the Western Route Army communications soldiers he met along the way was that the large troops were heading towards Huolin Gol. , according to the latest news, the cavalry company is about a hundred kilometers away in front of the main force, and according to the distance, it should reach the gathering point of the Western Route Army.
His unit was brought out for military training and had no designated tasks. Zhang Hanqing's idea for him was to cruise in the middle reaches of the Huolin River and, if possible, take the opportunity to capture Tuquan and hold on to it. In this way, the first line of defense can be built before Guo Songling's troops are in place.
But the situation changed quickly. In just one day, it was learned that the rebels had crossed the Huolin River, and it was meaningless to seize Tuquan. Instead, it would prompt the rebels to flee deeper into the grasslands of Inner Mongolia faster.
??More recent news, a messenger from a cavalry company reported that the cavalry company was engaged in a weak-to-strong attack with the enemy bandits. Tan Hai immediately understood the friendly army's plan: This was to trade life for time!
Stopping the concerns of the brigade staff about changing the order of the bandit suppression headquarters, Tan Hai immediately issued an order: "All the officers and soldiers of the special force, discard their baggage, leaving only their weapons, and march towards the town of Turemaodu!"
There is no distance. During the two hours of cavalry duel, the physical warfare brigade had already caught up.
It was at this critical moment that the cavalry company avoided the tragedy of annihilation of the entire army.
Wang Wensheng, Li Debiao and others who survived the desperate situation hugged each other and cried. Death is not terrible, but if you can live, no one will refuse, right? When they cry, is it not in memory of their fallen comrades?
The cavalry company here was lucky to have escaped death, but Babuzabu, who was experienced in combat, also made a decision based on the battlefield situation that was absolutely correct in theory but completely wrong in fact: charge.
Babuzabu believes that his defense line is wide but thin. If this team is as fierce as the cavalry company, the opponent can twist into a rope and be able to break through any of his defense lines. The morale of the cavalry company, which had already been beaten down, was to be allowed to charge again with this seemingly large number of troops, and the entire defense line would collapse.
The opponent has a larger number of people, only three to five hundred people. In comparison, he still has a numerical advantage. Only by counter-charging can we win with superior numbers. In this way, with a whistle blowing, thousands of bandit troops came towards the special operations brigade with their horses and swords waving.
Tan Hai’s troops are not good at fighting on horseback. For him, horses are just a transportation tool and carrier. One of the characteristics of the special operations brigade is the flexibility of individual soldiers, and the other is the flexibility of individual soldiers.?Great firepower.
Unlike the Guard Brigade and the 27th Division Infantry Regiment, which add a machine gun company, the special operations brigade does not have a machine gun company, but disperses the machine guns in each squad. The traditional configuration of a regiment-affiliated machine gun company is 6 machine guns. The special operations group has one rifle per squad, and a battalion-organized special warfare group has 27 rifles, more than twice as many as the regular army.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? However, the regular army's battalion units can receive fire support from the regiment's mountain artillery, but the special operations brigade does not have this treatment. Fortunately, the special operations brigade was not established to attack difficulties, so it doesn't matter under normal circumstances.
Now, a large number of enemy cavalry are coming, and the time has come to show the firepower of the special operations brigade.
Under the command of Tan Hai, the officers and soldiers of the special operations brigade dismounted one after another to find support positions. Twenty-seven machine guns were placed every fifty meters, and the three layers behind the sudden response were densely packed, with long and short guns mixed in, waiting for the arrival of the bandits.
On the European battlefield, the configuration of ten heavy machine guns per kilometer was already considered astonishing at the time. The density of the special operations brigade was twice as high. Such firepower was the nemesis of intensive charges, especially against cavalry.
Fighting against the sky and the ground, the flags covered the setting sun. Thousands of cavalrymen made the earthquake sound all over the sky. The bandit army was suppressed by a series of raids by the cavalry company, and it was only now that they recovered. The bandit army, which restored the original characteristics of the Mongolian knights, showed off the style of the grassland athletes. They did everything from mounting to sprinting in one go, with melodious and spectacular movements.
"Fire!" Following Tan Hai's order, twenty-seven machine guns spurted out tongues of fire at the same time. The first platoon performs fire suppression, with two pairs of machine guns firing cross-fire; the second platoon intermittently looks for the opponent's aggressive attack to reduce the pressure on the first platoon; and the third platoon focuses on taking care of the rangers who escape the fire net. Suddenly, the defense line about half a mile long was a sea of ??fire.
People were on their backs and their horses were on their backs, screams and neighs were heard. The bandits who were at the front were beaten into a sieve, including their men and horses. When they fell to the ground, bursts of dust were thrown up. Some of the cavalrymen behind were caught off guard and were blocked by dead horses and corpses. Some were tripped too late and were not knocked down by machine guns, but were thrown and suffered heavy casualties.
On both sides of the machine gun, the officers and soldiers of the special operations brigade stood with their upper bodies straight. They raised their spears and shot at the cavalry who crossed the machine gun line as calmly as if they were shooting targets. Due to the speed of the horses, many rebels had been killed, but they were still dragged forward by Crazy Horse until they both lay down together with the horses.
Babuzabu, who originally wanted to use his saber to compete with the special forces brigade on horseback, encountered an opponent who did not follow conventional tactics, and the cavalry team suffered heavy casualties. The saber-wielding bandit troops were unable to penetrate the defense line of the special operations brigade, which was composed of intensive firepower. In an instant, at least more than 500 people were injured or killed.
The Babuzabu bandit army, who were still indulging in the invincibility of Genghis Khan's cavalry, was stunned in front of the bloody facts. They didn't know that with the popularization of heavy machine guns in the army, the intensive charge in horizontal lines was no longer appropriate. Just a few days later, in a battle on the Somme River in Europe, more than 700,000 British and French troops were killed by heavy machine guns, which were known as the "King of Land Warfare" in World War I.

Chapter 164 Surrender

During this period of fierce fighting, the machine guns were heating up, and a basic number of rifle bullets were almost exhausted.
Qing Yi Shengmin, who had experienced the Russo-Japanese War, felt that an opportunity had come. He ordered the second echelon of cavalry to be quickly formed to charge. As long as they launch the second wave of attacks without hesitation during this interval, they will definitely be able to break through the Fengjun defense line on the opposite side. If there is a third wave of attacks, this team can be completely defeated.
Unfortunately, this is just a theory.
Yes, General Nogi Nogi Nogi, who commanded the Japanese Army in the Battle of Lushun, used his life to wipe out Highland 203 and successfully ended the Russo-Japanese War.
But he didn’t know that Nogi’s performance was so bad in this dog-eat-dog battle that killed 56,000 Japanese troops. Even Yamagata Aritomo, who strongly recommended Nogi, couldn’t stand it anymore and advocated removing Nogi from his post and investigating the cause of his defeat. However, Emperor Meiji vetoed Yamagata's proposal due to the policy of blinding the people and the army in order to make the people and soldiers blindly obey the emperor's beliefs. Nogi is just a so-called military god artificially created by Japanese officials. Modern Japanese historians basically have a negative attitude towards his martial arts, especially his battle command in the Russo-Japanese War. Some of the more radical ones, such as Shiba Ryotaro, simply gave him the title of Foolish General. The affirmation and boasting of Nogi before the war was actually just an artificial myth promoting the foolish and loyal emperor.
The Pakistani bandit army instigated by Russia does not have the foolish loyalty and fierceness of the old Japanese army, so naturally it cannot resist steel with flesh and blood. The frightened bandit army is unwilling to be the dead soul in the meat grinder. The large red corpses on the grassland alone are enough to kill them, but they also have to die in the front. How dare they not be shot with steel bullets? Go to hell!
This was the first time that Babuzabu had been defeated to the point of being discouraged, helpless, and chilled to the core. He felt that he could no longer play. Before the bandit army started to commotion, he stopped Qing Yi Shengmin's second offensive and decided to withdraw the entire army and retreat to Tuquan.
It was getting late, and Tan Hai also decided to rest the special operations brigade on the spot. It’s not that I haven’t thought about pursuing the victory, but considering that the special operations brigade had already marched for three hundred miles before the first battle after forming the army, the men and horses were seriously tired, and more importantly, the bandit army had been blocked at the entrance to the west channel. The pre-war deployment of the Bandit Suppression Command has been implemented. Forget it, are you going to suppress the bandits? Let's wait until the large forces are reunited before coming. But you can't disperse them. This will not achieve the goal of total annihilation decided before the war, but it will be unsightly.
The soldiers of Yijun stared blankly at the officers and soldiers of the special operations team who were like gods. The troops just nodded to them in a friendly manner, then found a large open space facing the street and plunged into the fiery work of setting up camp.
What kind of troops are these? A cavalry company of more than a hundred people dared to rush in and out several times into the bandit camp that was dozens of times their own size and disrupted the opponent; another army with strange scars actually wiped out the opponent's effective strength in a short period of time. Like cutting through butter with a cheap knife, he easily defeated the bandit army that had beaten his own side into nowhere not long ago, and even forced the opponent to flee in panic!
Captain Song Jiuling couldn't sit still, and he didn't dare to take advantage of the captain's airs. He asked Tan Hai politely: "I, Song Jiuling, which team of Marshal Zhang is this officer from?"
From Wang Wensheng's mouth, Tan Hai also roughly knew the "combat power" of Yijun, and he didn't want to take a serious look at these troops who were worse than bandits. Because the young commander also once criticized the army of the world, and also lamented the rapid degradation of Yijun, he was not worried about Yijun in his words. But when Song Jiuling came to him, he still had a good impression of the imposing middle-aged officer in front of him. Judging from the military appearance and posture, this is somewhat different from the Yi Jun I just saw, so his tone is also more polite.
He replied kindly: "Sir, I don't dare take this position. We are the troops of the Marshal of the Suppression Bandit Command. I am Tan Hai, who is the battalion commander." The special operations brigade was given a confidential mission when it was first established, so Tan Hai would not reveal his number. Woolen cloth.
Song Jiuling's breathing intensified: "Is it the legendary Guard Brigade, that student army?"
Tan Hai nodded proudly: "Yes."
Song Jiuling was surprised and said: "How many young marshals are there who can fight like Battalion Commander Tan?"
Tan Hai doesn’t know why, but for the army, of course, he should talk about what he can, and talk about the big ones. This can boost morale, and both can also scare the enemy, right? He smiled modestly and said, "There are no less than fifty young marshals in an army like Tan's."
Fifty battalions, that’s 15,000 people, that’s the size of a division! In just a few months, the young marshal was able to put up such a big air and have such amazing fighting power. Song Jiuling was even drunk. He said softly: "I am the commander of the third regiment of Yijun's right post. I want to defect to the young marshal. Is there any way?" He explained: "I have long heard that the young marshal led a new type of army. Song Mou has always been doubtful. .I watched Tan Jiang today.Only then did the troops know that the young marshal was really the best among men. To be honest, Song didn't want to stay with Yijun, an old and backward army for a day. "
Tan Hai thought for a while and said truthfully: "I don't dare to act on my own. Tan can pass on Commander Song's words. But before the decision is made, this matter is only known to me." As a senior officer of the Guards Brigade , Tan Hai knew that in the secret conception of the Guard Brigade, Zhang Hanqing believed that Fengjun's first task was to capture the Northeast. Before completing this task, Fengjun tried not to provoke any force. He didn't know whether Song Jiuling was true or false, but the commander-in-chief of Yijun, Jiang Guiti, was the commander-in-chief of Rehe. If the commander of Song Dynasty really defected to Fengjun, there was no guarantee that something would happen.
Song Jiuling nodded, this is what Lao Cheng did. He knew that the other party's general would not trust him so easily. To surrender, he had to give him a meeting gift, a certificate of surrender, etc., right? The young marshal and others have carefully prepared such an army, and I am afraid it is not as simple as protecting the country and the people. Territory, only the fight for territory is their goal.
The conversation between Yijun soldiers and Fengjun came from the distance. Song Jiuling did not dare to delay for too long. He only said softly: "Please tell the young marshal that if necessary, Song will be his assistant in Rehe and Chahar." A strong arm.”
Who Song Jiuling is, it is estimated that Tan Hai has never heard of it before, but this does not delay his vigilance on this matter. Judging from Song Jiuling's general description, he should be able to contribute to the young marshal's success in Rehe and Chahar in the future, if at all.
For ordinary Yijun, they have not seen an army that can fight like this for decades. In a place near the campsites of the two armies, a Yijun soldier asked the officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade: "You are so desperate in fighting, how many oceans will your commander reward you?"
It happened that Li Debiao was patrolling the camp. After hearing this, he laughed and said disdainfully: "We are the people's army. It is our bounden duty to defend our country. What does it have to do with how many oceans there are? To tell you the truth, we only have meritorious deeds and no reward." First of all, the Guard Brigade has never done this!"

After receiving an urgent report from the other two soldiers of the cavalry company, Guo Songling's main force rushed into high gear and arrived at Turemaodu Town in the middle of the night, where he joined forces with Tan Hai. The Yijun soldiers who were harassed and alerted initially thought it was bandit troops attacking the camp overnight and were very panicked. But when they learned that the main force of Fengjun had arrived, everyone quickly fell asleep. These two small-scale troops were so capable during the day. When the main force arrived, it was hard to go back to sleep!
At this time, the 1st Regiment led by Zhang Hanqing was already approaching the south bank of the Huolin River. With his strength and the threat of the 27th Fengjun Division sharpening their swords in Fengtian, the rebels would not attack his camp unless they were crazy. This was also what Zhang Zuoxiang, Guo Songling, and Han Linchun did to protect the young marshal. This act of kindness allowed him to achieve great success without using troops.
After a fight in the evening, the rebels were probably exhausted. With the arrival of the main force of the Guard Brigade, it would be difficult for the rebels to bear it psychologically as they walked past Guo Songling's position. The only option before them was to surrender, or to flee north back to their home base, or go east deep into Jilin Province.
"Fleeing eastward is what Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Hanqing and others are happy to do. Under the banner of suppressing bandits, they can lead their troops into Kyrgyzstan openly and openly, allowing Lao Zhang to expand his strength to the east. Whether he can do this depends on Han Linchun. As long as he firmly blocks the bandit army's passage to the north, he will definitely force the bandit army to take the lead and be driven into the auspicious territory. This was also the original operational strategy adopted by the staff of the Suppression Bandit Command.
There is no news about Han Linchun so far.
While Guo Songling reported the news to Zhang Hanqing overnight, he was also thinking: "Our three route armies are marching urgently at the same time. In any case, Han Linchun cannot get around the enemy's rear. For now, I am the only one to slow down the attack. Let the bandits feel that they are capable of fighting and not plan to retreat quickly to buy time for Lao Han. I need to keep a close eye on the enemy, but not go too far. This speed is difficult to control. "
Early the next morning, Zhang Hanqing's command also arrived: "When the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy retreats, we harass. It is not advisable to fight too hard. All command of the former enemy should be let go and Commander Guo will handle it on an ad hoc basis. He can report back later." He had read history. The disastrous consequences of Lao Chiang's involvement in a battle are to lose it, unlike the Communist Party, which allows frontline commanders to let go and think about it. If everything can be done behind the scenes, what do we need front-line commanders to do? Do you think you are Zhuge Liang or Liu Bowen? Didn't Zhuge Liang die from exhaustion in history? Liu Bowen didn't seem to have made much contribution on the battlefield, right?
Not only did the heroes share the same views, but they also handed over the power to Guo Songling with confidence, giving Guo Songling an added benefit of knowledge and an additional responsibility: how to fight this battle well so that he can be worthy of the young commander's trust. . On the one hand, he sent a large number of scouts to search for the movements of Han Linchun's army in the Taoer River area; on the other hand, he deployed a defensive and offensive posture to kill the rebels on the banks of the Huolin River.
Early the next morning, the rebels were woken up by the fire and set up their positions to prevent the Guards Brigade on the opposite side from rushing into camp. But until three o'clock in the morning, Guo Songling's team was still lazily reorganizing, and the whole town was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.
The confrontation lasted until noon, when Babuzabu became impatient: "The enemy must be exhausted from the distance. Let's kill them first while they are resting." Thinking of yesterday's bloody battle, he felt guilty: "But the enemy's firepower is too strong. Our charge is at a disadvantage. The enemy's machine guns are our nemesis when used for defense. Are they waiting for us to attack first? Forget it, it's better to set up defenses. I'm afraid they can't come over with machine guns."
The cunning Qing Yi Shengmin began to calculate: "The enemy's strength is not trivial. It's not that he can't fight me, but he keeps delaying the fight. Is he waiting for reinforcements?" When he thought of this, he became alert: "It must be the case. The news that came from the intelligence department of our army in Fengtian is that the enemy wants to surround our army on three sides with the intention of annihilating us. This powerful force must be preparing to drag us away."
As soon as he communicated his thoughts with Babu Zabu, Babu’s expression changed. In fact, the bloody battle last night had made him completely give up on the combat effectiveness of the Guard Brigade. The reason why he did not retreat across the board was because he was afraid that his retreat would not only knock down the originally high morale, but also very likely cause a complete retreat. At that time, not to mention this tough guard brigade, even yesterday's defeated general Yi Jun could easily beat the fallen dog. Babu Zabu, who is good at fighting, knows a lot about leading bandit soldiers: when the wind is blowing, he can move forward bravely and be invincible.
Qingyi Shengmin's estimate was correct, but he encountered difficulties when he decided to retreat - after the baptism of blood and fire, his bandit army was not stunned, but frightened. No one wanted to basically The rear troops became cannon fodder, which gave Lao Ba a headache.
At the critical moment, youth is still better than smart buddy. He looked with disgust at the rebel backbones who were scrambling to grab things and scramble to escape, and said sternly: "I will lead an army to the rear."??Commander Babu led his troops to take the lead. But for fear of being pursued by the enemy, Commander Babu's troops cannot leave too far. We tentatively plan a ten-mile cycle, and you need to set up defense at the next stop to prevent the enemy from raiding. "
This arrangement is good, everyone is on the first line of the ferry. When Babuzabu detached a part of the bandit army to retreat, Li Desheng, the captain of the cavalry company who had recovered his strength, asked for a fight. He said: "Captain Guo, give me a cavalry force, and I promise to defeat the bandit army!"
Guo Songling thought for a moment and suddenly said loudly: "No, let them go!"
Everyone was puzzled. Guo Qianling said: "The enemy's retreat is very methodical, and there must be careful arrangements. If we rush up at this time, it will be another melee. Although the final victory must belong to us, this is different from The original plan of the headquarters was different." He smiled slyly: "We are not suppressing the bandits, but biting the bandits, and we want to drive the bandits to Jilin."
Even middle and lower-level officers did not understand these strategic considerations, but military orders were strictly implemented. Babu Zabuan then retreated ten miles and settled again on the west bank of the Huolin River. When Qing Yi Shengmin slowly retreated with the bandits, the Guard Brigade also sent a cavalry to slowly follow. The two sides maintained a certain degree of isolation, but were heavily guarded.
Qing Yi Shengmin tried to speed up, and the Guard Brigade on the opposite side was preparing to assemble the team for a charge and pursuit. They immediately set up defensive measures. The Guard Brigade slowed down as soon as they saw it, but at the same time, the speed of the bandits also slowed down. . If so, three.
Babuzabu had no choice but to retreat wildly. As soon as he showed his intention to retreat, his military morale would immediately be in chaos, he believed. Now we can only take one step at a time. Let's wait until all the troops have crossed the Huolin River and then find an opportunity to escape back to Mongolia. With Zhang Zuolin's troops in Fengtian, he had no chance to get a favor.
But when half of the men and horses retreated across the Huolin River and approached Tuquan, a sky-covering flag suddenly surged behind him, and an army appeared behind him! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 166: The Only One General Han

News from Japan’s Kanto Prefecture Intelligence Department’s Special High School Section revealed that on July 26, the Babu Zabu bandit army was defeated on the way through. However, because Han Linchun's troops failed to "timely" and completely block their escape route, they failed to completely annihilate the rebels. As a result, the scattered soldiers crossed the Huolin River and rushed southeast, causing harassment along the way and causing chaos in Jixi.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
While Guo Songling held on to the Pakistani bandit army for a day, Han Linchun's army finally overcame many obstacles and reached the designated location of Baichengzi. At this time, Guo Songling's communications troops were finally found. After learning about the battle situation and tactical plans between Guo Songling and the bandits, Han Linchun set his sights on Tuquan.
I know the strength of the Guards Brigade. It is definitely not like the "baby soldiers or student army" as some senior officials of the Fengjun Army call it. Instead, it is extremely combat-effective. For the troops with high spirits, it is better than any advanced weapons. It is easy to use, and the deficiencies in training can also be tested through small-scale actual combat. He firmly believed that Guo's troops, who were both strategic and capable (forgive me for calling him that behind his back), would never lose to the bandits in one-to-one numbers.
Since Guo Guizi was determined, he chose to cooperate. When the fighting between the two sides was at its fiercest, as long as he showed up in the north, it would be very disrespectful if the bandit army dared to retreat northward. After staring at the map and thinking for a moment, Han Linchun decisively ordered: "The regiment's baggage troops, artillery company and first battalion will stay in Baicheng as guards, while the rest of the troops will march directly to capture Tuquan with light equipment."
Marching with a heavy load is already difficult these days. Sometimes there are no proper roads in the uncultivated land in northern Liaoning. The young commander kindly gave him the artillery battery, but it failed to work. This is probably not as good as God, but the young commander But the handsome love was remembered.
Sure enough, when thousands of Han Linchun's troops appeared in the north, the bandits were in chaos. For these bandits who wanted to break through the Fengtian defense line and join the "National Protective Army" in the south, they also planned to return to their home base in Hulunbuir with their Qingqi.
When the force to the north clearly blocked the circuit, Babuzabu and Qingyi Shengmin combined the intelligence given to them by the Japanese army a few days ago and knew that the "bandit-suppressing army" was planning to encircle and escape south. , will definitely encounter a lot of obstruction by Fengjun. Moreover, according to the news, Fengtian's 27th Division was not dispatched at all. In other words, even if the defense line of the "bandit-suppressing army" is broken through in the south, they will still have to fight against the well-equipped 27th Division. Even the bandit army leaders Lao Ba and Lao Qing have not planned this.
Since it is a choice, the "one" is that it is definitely difficult to go east. The two bosses were killed in a bloody storm. What the enemy insists on is what they oppose. They all understand this truth.
what to do? Guo Songling's army in the west is too difficult to fight, so let's forget it. The army in the south is not yet clear, but the enemy who does not appear is the most difficult to fight. Only in the north, the "bandit-suppressing army" has not yet established a stable foothold. If the whole army presses forward, they are not afraid that they will not have a chance to break out of the encirclement. After a brief summary, Lao Ba and Lao Qing made up their minds to stand out from Han Linchun's defense line!
Under the cry of "If you can't get through, you will die or live", the bandit army launched a comprehensive attack on Han Linchun. On the grassland several miles wide, more than two thousand remaining bandits poured into the ranks of the second regiment of the Guards Brigade like a torrent.
This is a fight for life, and the combat power is much greater than before. At least Han Linchun felt that it was so difficult to command a battle for the first time in his life. The second regiment also traveled a long distance and had no time to rest. More importantly, they were also an infantry-based unit. The only artillery company that might be able to suppress the cavalry was still in Baicheng!
Fortunately, considering that Han Linchun had a long journey, Zhang Hanqing moved hundreds of war horses to use as foot power before leaving, and they are now using them. Han Linchun drew his sword and shouted: "The second battalion, the third battalion and the engineering company quickly established defensive positions. The first battalion and others with war horses follow me!"
The young marshal said, "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win." He thought so too. At this critical moment, the infantry must be given time to build fortifications. This buffer depends on the duel between the cavalry!
This was the second time that Babuzabu saw the cavalry of the "Bandit Suppressor Army" charging without hesitation. The aftermath of the previous cavalry company was still frightening. Now there is a much larger cavalry team. Could it be the death of God? I also?
Although you are uneasy and sometimes frightened, there is no room for you to hesitate in the midst of thousands of troops.
The same people fell on their backs, and the same blood splattered on the battlefield. Zhang Hanqing, who was about to arrive, saw such a scene in the distance: Han Linchun leaped on his horse with his sword raised, covering everything in the direction, and the tip of the sword was dripping with blood. Hundreds of cavalry followed his direction like a torrent, and wherever they went, the bandits avoided them. Zhang Hanqing laughed and said to Guo Songling, who had arrived after hearing the news: "It seems that the eradication of this bandit army is just around the corner. A team of thousands of people could not break through Han Linchun's hasty defense line of several hundred people.No more suspense. "I remembered a little poem by Mao Zedong and read it loudly: "The mountains are high, the roads are far away and the pits are deep, and the armies are galloping in all directions. Who dares to cross the sword and leap on the horse, but I am General Han! "
What he didn’t know was that the heroic performance of the cavalry company last night made the bandits feel timid towards the Guards Brigade and allowed Han Linchun’s few cavalry teams to once again enjoy this honor.
The officers and soldiers following Zhang Hanqing shouted: "General Han!" to cheer him on. This sound spread to Guo Songling's west wing, to Han Linchun's army in the battle, and to the ears of the sweating North Road defenders, and it suddenly resonated.
The bandits, who were stunned by another unit emerging from the south, were no longer in the mood to fight with the cavalry on the opposite side. They were quickly defeated and gathered around, looking at each other.
With this murderous intent, Han Linchun resisted a round of attacks by the bandits. The cavalry came so fast that some of the infantrymen who had not had time to set up their defenses had their bullets loaded and some of their bayonets were shining. Even the soldiers of the engineer company picked up their engineer shovels and wanted to fight the rebels hand-to-hand.
Babuzabu was about to organize a second wave of attacks. The previous charge still caused Han Linchun's cavalry to suffer huge losses - the gap in numbers was an insurmountable factor, and after all, the cavalry led by Lao Han was not a serious cavalry unit. Babuzabu believes that if he does it again, he will have a chance to break through the defense. In the first round, he was just a little short.
But the shouts all over the sky made him quickly change his mind, defeat, let’s run away. To the east, there was still a way to survive, because a few days ago, the Japanese commander in Gongzhuling, Ozawa Yuan, had signaled to him that if the situation went wrong, he could flee to Zhengjiatun, where the Japanese troops would support him. The impulsive self confidently rejected his kindness.
Although heading east, Jilin Governor Ji Enyuan's army should also be setting up defenses, but they can't control that much. As long as they can avoid this perverted opponent, he will dare to break into Heilongjiang!
Han Linchun, Guo Songling, and Zhang Hanqing suddenly saw such a strange scene: countless bandit troops suddenly drove eastward together, regardless of their colleagues who were still shouting for their fathers and mothers on the battlefield, and ignored some of the Guards Brigade officers and soldiers who were trying to block them. Instead of fighting, he just ran away as much as possible. The people around him were shot by cold guns and their cries for help did not inspire any pity from them! This is a truly cold-blooded army that treats its own comrades! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 167 Reward
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Meng Enyuan's army, who had the idea of ????sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers, had no intention of intervening in this battle. Therefore, when the rebels rushed over the mountains and plains, they were dumbfounded. They watched the bandits enter the Jilin realm without any real and meaningful obstruction - ——Lack of preparation is one thing, these bandits are coming too fiercely!
At this time, the bandits originally wanted to flee northward from Jilin territory regardless of their lives. No matter how hard Han Linchun's troops fought, they could not catch up with Babu Zabu's army, which had the spirit of a strong man to cut off his wrists. But unfortunately, before the Pakistani bandit army could rush north, another huge army appeared in the north!
The frightened Pakistani bandit army thought it was the Guard Brigade setting up an ambush formation again. Don't think too much, let's all run south together. To the south is the rear of the Jilin army that has just been defeated. There may be a way to survive. If they are intercepted by the Guards Brigade who are desperate for their lives, I don't know who will sleep here.
This also gives the Guard Brigade a very good excuse to enter Jilin territory. You are not doing your best to suppress the bandits! Zhang Hanqing's bandit-suppressing army consciously advanced southeastward along Baicheng, with its blade pointed directly at Changchun, the provincial capital. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was a drunkard who was putting pressure on Lao Meng instead of drinking.
When Zhang Hanqing was still guessing which side the new army belonged to, someone on the opposite side was already calling for formation: "Is it the wise nephew of Xueliang? I am Wu Junsheng!"
Zhang Hanqing felt uneasy: Wu Junsheng, an important member of the future Fengcun, his father's long-term deputy, and an ally who would share life and death. Historically, both of them died in Huanggutun, fulfilling their covenant oath to "die in the same year, the same month and the same day." Regardless of the current need, or respect for historical figures, especially those of his father's generation, he had to come forward to pay tribute. However, I have seen many important people in the Republic of China. Even people as famous as Wu Junsheng are only somewhat yearning for them, but I can't say they are surprised.
Wu Junsheng had a fierce face, far more fierce than he imagined. He was not surprised by this. Like his father, Lao Wu was originally a bandit.
We felt like old friends at first sight. Zhang Zuolin was still able to persuade him to defect to Wu Junsheng at the critical moment when he was facing assassination, which fully demonstrated that the relationship between the two alliance brothers could withstand the test. During the war, there was no time to talk about love, and the two exchanged views on their experiences in suppressing bandits.
To be honest, Wu Junsheng is still doubtful about the legends about his "nephew". After all, he is only a sixteen-year-old young man. It may be Xiao Zhang (the Xiao Zhang he talks about is our Lao Zhang). The support of his eldest son, after all, his only son Wu Taixun, who was born in his fifties, was deeply loved by him and designed various paths for Xiao Wu, although Xiao Wu was only three years old this year. People share this sentiment.
But when he heard a little about the bravery of the cavalry company and the bravery of Han Linchun, he couldn't help but look at the little nephew in front of him with admiration. Being able to train officers and soldiers to this level was something Wu Da Tongue couldn't do at least. Thinking that as the garrison envoy of Taoliao, he was worried about having no military merits. Now, with Zhang Hanqing here, it is a wonderful idea to beat the frightened Ba bandit army together. If he can, he will take the opportunity to reach into Jilin and find a piece of land here to settle down. The two uncles decided to join forces and enter Kyrgyzstan in the name of suppressing bandits.
However, Meng Enyuan acted quickly. He hurriedly called Zhang Zuolin: "Brother Yuting, Junjian: The pseudo 'Qinwang Restoration Army' has disrupted the place since entering Liao Dynasty and caused a lot of harm. Jingzi's nephews fought bravely to kill the enemy, and their arrogance was suddenly lost. Although Shucun did not He still has some talent, how can he rely on his sons and nephews to shine and become an old man leaning on the wall? Meng has the responsibility of guarding Jilin, and he must bear no responsibility. Now that all the units of the Jilin army are in place, we urgently ask friendly forces to stop crossing the border. Firstly, the people and the land are unfamiliar and transportation is inconvenient; secondly, the two armies are not familiar with each other, and there is a risk of accidental injury." He also sweetened Zhang Zuolin: "My nephews who have learned a lot have made contributions to the country, and my younger brother should not give in, and he will be a contemporary. Please report to the Central Committee and reward me for your merits without losing the spirit of a soldier with lofty ideals."
Who are Zhang Zuolin and Wu Junsheng? Meng Enyuan still doesn’t know? They provided people and money. If they entered Jilin in the name of suppressing bandits, it would be really difficult for them. I can only give him some benefits to make him stop. What does Lao Zhang lack now? Men and guns will not be given to him by himself, but the central government has given him fame. President Li Yuanhong has just issued a decree. Governors in various places are called governors, and patrol envoys are called governors. Zhang Zuolin is already the governor and provincial governor of Fengtian. Longer. Except for the fact that the 28th Division Feng Delin heard that the relationship with him was very tense, there was nothing to worry about. If he had any ideas, he could only focus on his eldest son.
Lao Zhang also took great pains for his eldest son, and even built an army for him, called the Guard Brigade. Not to mention, as the eldest son, he still had two tools to make a new army impressive. Judging from the words of the young soldier on the front line of the bandit suppression, the Guards Brigade is really good at fighting. Babuzabu has been active for more than ten years, and he can beat even the toughest bones and run away. If I get him some medals or promotion at this time, Lao Zhang will be happy, and he will be embarrassed to enter my Jilin again, right?
Sure enough, everything was saidFor this reason, Zhang Zuolin was embarrassed to send troops to Jilin again and had to express his gratitude. He was also embarrassed to give his son an official position. Lao Meng really knew how to provide help in times of need. He also quickly said that he had ordered the bandit-suppressing troops to temporarily stay on the front lines of Baicheng and Baiyintai Lai (which is still a big town, namely modern Tongliao City) to prevent the bandit troops from recurring and causing harm to the people again. "As soon as the bandits are cleared, they will return immediately without stopping. Please don't think about it yet."
Don’t think of it as a ghost! If you don’t implement it, can you stop reading it? At this time, Meng Enyuan had no choice but to brag to Zhang Hanqing: "He is good at running the army, and he is vigorous and resolute. He is called capable by others. Three days ago, he used hundreds of people to ride against thousands of bandits. He fought three battles without stopping, and the bandits were moved. Two days ago, they surrounded and annihilated most of them. , became famous in one battle. The bandits can be frightened, which is the strength of Zhang Hanqing. If the Central Committee can praise the martyrs in time and help those who are advanced, the armies will be mobilized, and the stubborn enemy will be annihilated just around the corner!"
At this time, President Li Yuanhong and Prime Minister Duan Qirui had already formed a feud, and they were fighting overtly and covertly for support from various places. Meng Enyuan's message not only made Zhang Hanqing famous, but also caused the two departments of the government and the academy to extend an olive branch to Zhang Zuolin at the same time. The combined efforts of the two forces unexpectedly gave Zhang Zuolin a letter of appointment and a medal of merit: "Zhang Hanqing was appointed as the colonel of the Fengtian Military Governor's Office, and was appointed to Fengtian to respond to the suppression of bandits. The following officers and soldiers who have made meritorious service will be reviewed by the military governor Zhang Zuolin. Rewards, don’t lose the heart of a soldier.”
The Guard Brigade still failed to get the approval of the Central Committee, but Zhang Hanqing was appointed by the Central Committee, which was a great joy. However, Zhang Hanqing was still a little embarrassed when facing Guo Songling and Han Linchun: he did not contribute any effort and did not win the battle, but he was actually awarded the rank of colonel and also served as a counselor. But the old subordinates who fought hard for their lives didn't even get a scrap. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 168 Pension

Han and Guo, on the other hand, thought wisely: the good start of the Guard Brigade was already an unexpected blessing, and they could legitimately participate in the suppression of bandits, and their identities had been whitewashed. While we are resting now, it's time to sum up our experience and reward the soldiers. Especially the officers and soldiers who sacrificed their lives should have an explanation.
Zhang Hanqing also decided to contain the harassing troops. He carefully discussed future issues such as the treatment and pensions of officers and soldiers at the brigade headquarters with several of his subordinates. He came up with some effective rules and regulations and decided to continuously strengthen them in the future. Subsequently, a meeting of 10,000 people from the Guard Brigade was held in Baiyintai Lai.
Although Zhang Hanqing is a young marshal and has been working at the grassroots level to harmonize officers and soldiers when he has time, there are still some soldiers who do not recognize him. People in the army say that the young marshal is young, calm and courageous, but in real people, this is rare. When they saw the young and outrageous Zhang Hanqing, who was dressed in military uniform and was accompanied by Guo Songling, Han Linchun and Wang Yizhe, strutting on the stage, many people showed various expressions.
Zhang Hanqing just smiled, then cleared his throat and said loudly: "Brother is Zhang Xueliang!"
This call of "brother" narrowed the distance between the officers and soldiers. Anyone who has been a soldier knows that the brotherhood in the same trench is more precious than anything else.
He stopped the audience's excitement and said with emotion: "The first battle after our Guards Brigade became an army ended with the complete annihilation of the enemy bandits. This battle made all the doubts, criticisms, and ridicules about us disappear. Just wash it off!
In this battle, all the officers and soldiers of our brigade fully demonstrated their bravery, obedience, responsibility and well-trained skills. There is a famous saying that goes, ‘Only those who obey discipline can enforce discipline.’ Our Guard Brigade fully embodies this discipline. He is strict in training in peacetime and strict in obedience during war. Finally, he showed his authority this time. Guards Brigade, well done! "
The officers and soldiers in the audience will smile heartily. No matter what, they are all winners and alive. In troubled times, human life is as cheap as a dog. Compared with those deceased comrades, they are all happy.
Then, Zhang Hanqing said in a sad tone: "Those who lead the army cannot ensure that every soldier can come back alive, but they must ensure that the soldiers' lives will not be sacrificed in vain. This time, hundreds of our brothers are buried on this land. , Their sacrifices were not in vain, and what they did is worthy of the word 'soldiers'! Let us take off our hats and pay tribute to these fallen heroes!"
In full view of the public, our deputy brigade commander Xiao stood up with a sad face, took off his hat, and observed a moment of silence. The officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade who had received similar training all stood up like a reflex.
"A bow" This is reverence for heaven and earth;
"Bow again" This is to mourn the deceased;
"Three bows" This is to comfort the family members.
According to the etiquette system promulgated in the first year of the Republic of China, bending down three times to salute is the most respectful etiquette. Young Marshal, with the dignity of Young Marshal, dedicated the most noble courtesy to the soldiers who were originally unknown. The solemn and solemn scene greatly affected some soldiers who regarded being a soldier as an inferior status. It turns out that being a soldier also has dignity!
After fully exaggerating the performance of the Guard Brigade, Zhang Zuolin’s praise for the Guard Brigade was read out:
"The cavalry company made a great contribution in this war. His fighting spirit fully demonstrated that our political work was very effective. The officers and soldiers of the whole company dared to fight in the face of a situation that was far superior to ours, and became the main force of our army. Arrival bought time, but also suffered a heavy price. One hundred and nine people died starting from the deputy company commander onwards.
The Brigade Headquarters and the Bandit Suppression Headquarters reported to the Warlord's Office and decided that the cavalry company would be awarded collective special merit. All other fallen soldiers would be martyrs, and their families would receive a pension and a free five-year pension in the subsequent land reform. acres of prime farmland and tax-free for life. These will become common practice and will be written into the land law. After the meeting, the political and industrial groups will register one by one and distribute the "Land Certificate" and "Tax-Free Certificate" to each household. If there is no spouse, the inheritance will be in the order of parents, children, brothers and sisters.
The martyrs will set up a cemetery and erect a monument at the place where they died for future generations to admire. In the future, if conditions permit, the deceased can be relocated to a martyrs cemetery set up locally according to the wishes of the family, and the state will provide the expenses. This will also become a common practice. Every year during the Qingming Festival and Spring Festival, the local government must organize manpower to express condolences to the martyrs and actually solve the difficulties. This will become the first priority of civil affairs work.
The martyrs died for the stability of the country. Some of them already have descendants. The obligation to raise these descendants naturally falls on us. I, Zhang Xueliang, swear to my brothers that if there is food for the Guard Brigade, they will have a share of their rations! Their education and life until they reach the age of sixteen are all borne by us.
I have applied to the Provincial Governor’s Office to build a school for bereaved families to solve the educational problems of the children of martyrs free of charge In addition, all severely disabled officers and soldiers who are willing to stay in the army according to their own wishes can be responsible for guarding the cemeteries of their comrades or working in military-run factories; those who wish to return home will also receive a pension from the local government | Responsible for care. This method will be implemented throughout Fengtian in the future, not only by our Guards Brigade, but also by the 27th Division, and by all our officers and soldiers.
For those who have meritorious service, the headquarters will verify them one by one, and the Political Department will request credit according to disciplines. "
During the Beiyang government period, military positions above lieutenant general basically corresponded to special civilian appointments, those above colonel corresponded to brief appointments, lieutenant general and major corresponded to recommended appointments, and lieutenant officers corresponded to appointed appointments. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin, as the military governor, has sufficient power to appoint and remove officers at the brigade, camp, and company levels of the Guards.
After the meeting, Zhang Hanqing held a meeting of cadres above the brigade and company of the Guard, summarizing matters such as tactical planning, military organization, logistics preparation, equipment coordination, officer and soldier morale, combat techniques, etc. of the entire brigade in the previous stage. After fully affirming the work of the political and industrial corps in boosting the morale of the army, Zhang Hanqing also criticized himself: "The headquarters' strategy against the enemy is too idealistic. If it were not for the bloody battles of the frontline soldiers, the encirclement and annihilation of the bandit army would be a laughing stock."
This is not modesty, it is true. It's funny when I think about my talk on paper before the war: The theory of inserting oneself behind enemy lines and encircling three or one of three is correct, but when the Japanese blocked him at Fengtian Station for two days, he didn't realize that the battlefield situation had already happened. Despite the changes, they still followed the established plan and almost allowed the bandit army to slip back to the grassland. Of course, it also made the cavalry company famous.
With his statement, some of the slanderous voices in the army disappeared. Well, as the top officer, the young marshal has the courage to take responsibility and dare to dissect himself. There is nothing else to say except self-criticism.
Invisibly, the dissatisfaction caused by Zhang Hanqing being praised and promoted by the central government alone was eliminated. Later, national history and military history said that the Tongliao Conference enabled the entire party and the entire army to form a tradition of "excellent style of criticism and self-criticism", which is why it came about.
Based on the merits of the cavalry company, Xiao He also succeeded in defeat. Zhang Hanqing ordered all officers and soldiers in the company to be promoted to the first level due to merit, and the cavalry company was expanded into a battalion. Wang Wensheng was promoted to commander of the newly built cavalry battalion on the same day, and Li Debiao also rose to the rank of company commander. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

History does not depend on human will. Although Zhang Hanqing's series of actions slightly accelerated Zhang Zuolin's timetable for controlling the Northeast, some things in history still followed its trajectory.
?According to official history, they were supposed to get married in this year.
Since Zhang Hanqing "reluctantly" agreed to marry Yu Fengzhi, Zhang Zuolin began to prepare for the wedding. The date Yu Jia has confirmed is August 8, which he proposed. This day is Tuesday, the tenth day of the seventh lunar month, which is a good day because the almanac states that this day is "a good day to pray for blessings, ask for children, make a covenant, and get married."
The owner of Zhang Hanqing’s body, Zhang Xueliang, is the eldest son of the Zhang family. When he was a child, he lived in the countryside with his mother and suffered a lot. When he was 11 years old, his biological mother passed away again, so Zhang Zuolin loved him very much. Zhang Hanqing's dedication over the past year, especially the burst of flesh-and-blood ties with him at a critical moment some time ago, made Zhang Zuolin even more considerate of his marriage. "The emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son." The future of Fengtian must still fall on him. The right way is to organize the family to govern the country and bring peace to the world. If you don't have a family, you will never be considered an adult, right?
It doesn’t work without getting married. Getting married is a sign of a man's maturity. It is hard to imagine that the young deputy brigade commander Xiao Zhang and the deputy commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression army, who is not well versed in human affairs and is also known as "not even hairy", will be truly surrendered by tens of thousands of brave soldiers.
In order to convince the public, to show that he has matured, and to make sure that the mentality of an adult in his thirties and his young body no longer suffer at night. A few days before the wedding, Zhang Hanqing hurriedly returned from the front line with the urging and blessings of the generals.
The moment when they met was really exciting and grand. A few days before the wedding, major newspapers in Fengtian published photos of Zhang Hanqing and Yu Fengzhi in advance. The media publicity undoubtedly increased people's attention to this wedding. Officials, soldiers, gentry and businessmen, and ordinary people all over Fengtian focused their expectant eyes on the Marshal's Mansion. People were eagerly looking forward to this day.
On the 8th, Tian Gang was so dim, and every family in Fengtian City came out of the sound of "firecrackers". Ping pong ping pink kept sounding, and seemed to be celebrating the great events of Zhang Dashuai's family. In fact, this day is the beginning of autumn, and everyone is chopping dumpling fillings and preparing to make dumplings. This is called "grabbing autumn fat" in the traditional custom in northern my country.
? It has always been the favorite of Chinese people to celebrate together during the holidays. Don’t you see, it’s hard to get tickets for wedding cars and hotels on May Day, National Day, and Spring Festival in future generations?
After eating the dumplings, many people dug out the best clothes at home, dressed neatly, and walked towards the south gate of Fengtian City one after another.
The Marshal’s Mansion, located on Tongtian Street in Dayanmenli, was also dressed in festive attire today. There are three entrances to the courtyard in the shape of "mu", with the word "xi" on the door, the pillars are draped in red, and the corridors are decorated with colorful decorations. The trees on both sides of the main south gate, Dongyuan Gate and Xiyuan Gate of the Marshal's Mansion and outside the gate walls were covered with firecrackers. Two energetic military bands stood on both sides in front of the main entrance, and their sweet welcome music spread the majesty of the Marshal's Mansion to every corner of Fengtian City. Two red ribbons hang down to the ground from both sides of the large screen wall with raised eaves and ridges. The word "Hongxi" embedded in white marble in the center of the screen wall is particularly dazzling.
The first courtyard behind the screen wall is where visitors are received. A bright red carpet is laid from the gate of the handsome manor to the front of the main house. A pair of stone lions on both sides of the main door have red silk around their necks, and a big red flower made of silk floats on their chests. The large courtyard of about 1,600 square meters was packed with Chinese and foreign guests attending the wedding early in the morning.
The wedding was held in the second courtyard. The second entrance courtyard is even more spacious than the first entrance courtyard. It is rectangular in shape, paved with square tiles, and surrounded by corridors. The 30 pillars are covered with colorful palace lanterns. Under each palace lantern is a jubilee couplet presented by dignitaries. . The longest couplet is made of red silk and falls from the top of the carved gatehouse in front of the main house. The red silk has 36 large golden characters written on it:
“One day in Qiuyang, the United States and the United States congratulated the general of Guandong on his wife’s marriage;
The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus from thousands of miles away celebrates the fate of the phoenix in the north of Saibei.
Directly opposite the carved gatehouse is the Chuihuayimen, which is a gatehouse with an openwork hanging flower top. This gate is integrated with the 7-meter high brick wall separated by one and two entrances. It is where Zhang Zuolin held a ceremony to welcome distinguished guests. The place.
On this day, the hanging flower ceremony door was newly decorated. The most eye-catching thing was the red palace lantern above the door, which matched with the colorful palace lanterns on the 30 pillars to form a three-dimensional picture like stars holding the moon.
There were many guests, and senior military and political officials from Fengtian City, as well as Zhang Hanqing's "old friend" the Japanese Shigeru Yoshida, all came to support him. Although several generals of the Guard Brigade were on the front lines suppressing bandits and could not come in person, they all asked others to send gifts. Guo Songling's "The flowers on the branches are connected together, and the two phoenixes are sitting on the pillow together" is quite good, and the bride's "phoenix" is embedded in the couplet; Han Linchun is more ridiculous, and even gave a picture of "??It’s time to understand people’s livelihood and ensure the security of the country. Even entering the bridal chamber can be involved in governing the country. There is really nothing that can be done about him. Who makes him call himself a rough man?
What is particularly worth mentioning is that General Cai E and Cai Cai, who once served as the governor and governor of Sichuan and is now treating patients in Japan, also sent a congratulatory message from thousands of miles away. There is a couplet in it: "The beautiful woman undresses in shame, and the groom blows the lamp with a proud smile." , people can't help but be handsome. It is said that General Cai actually wrote such humorous works, but this also shows the deep relationship between the two.
"The new IKEA woman in Yiguo is a good man capable of both literary and martial arts." This is a pair of wedding couplets sent by Xiaofengxian's trustee. People in the Northeast are still not very clear about who Xiao Fengxian is, but Zhang Hanqing is still very happy and at least expressed his affection. What does it mean? Only Zhang Hanqing can understand it, right?
Yuan Kewen, who did not like the secular world, also sent someone to send a couplet: "talented scholar and beautiful woman". Yuan Kewen's calligraphy is still so good, Zhang Hanqing thought.
Amid the celebrations, there were also dissonances. At least Feng Delin, an important official in Fengtian Province, did not attend in person. He only sent his eldest son Feng Yong as a representative. Of course, congratulatory gifts were still given. Of course, Zhang Hanqing didn't force it, and even happily offered candy to Feng Yong. At the same age, he will have to suffer for a long time. This is a mischievous idea.
The real day has arrived. At 11 o'clock in the morning, the firecrackers were lit. When the bride and groom passed through the flower hanging ceremony gate, the base of the red palace lantern was pulled open by a ribbon, and the petals made of colored paper inside the palace lantern fluttered and fell on the newlyweds. Everyone present was shocked when they saw this scene, and it took a few seconds for them to burst into applause.
Accompanied by melodious music, Zhang Hanqing and Yu Fengzhi stopped in front of two extra-long greeting couplets and turned to face the guests. The two newlyweds were on such a solemn occasion. The groom looked more handsome in a suit and leather shoes; the bride looked gorgeous in a white gauze. This made the crowd watching the ceremony burst into admiration. It was a rare match made in heaven, a talented man and a beautiful woman. In the crowd, you can still find Red Peony hiding quietly behind the crowd, mesmerized. As the bridesmaid, Yu Yifan is also far away from home, leisurely holding her pink cheeks and looking at the pair of beautiful women having an erotic dream. The focused expression and the image of a beautiful girl are eye-catching.
The complicated ceremony was carried out amidst bursts of applause. Careful people found that the expressions of the Zhang family and his son had different characteristics: Zhang Zuolin had a rare expression of joy, happier than when he first took up the post of military governor and later as the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces; Zhang Hanqing finally got his long-cherished wish, and naturally the groom did a great job. impressive.
When "worshiping heaven and earth" and "worshiping high hall", Zhang Hanqing gently squeezed Yu Fengzhi's hand and kept playing with it. In full view of the public, Yu Fengzhi did not dare to shrink his hands, but was so embarrassed that he almost lost his composure. During the "couple's greeting", he bowed half a beat slower than Zhang Hanqing for the first time. When he stood up from bowing, he quickly made up for it, but accidentally. It was faster again, half a beat faster than Zhang Hanqing. So the master of ceremonies said with a smile: "Bride, don't be in such a hurry, it's still early to enter the bridal chamber." Everyone burst into laughter, which made them even more happy.
The long day has finally come to the time of lighting the lanterns, and it’s time for the newlyweds to rest after a tiring day. Zhang Hanqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Damn it, it's crazy to see my classmates getting married. It turns out that getting married before liberation was even more tiring!" Both the older and younger servants left one after another. Chunni and an old nun from Guandong who took charge of the marriage were After serving the newlyweds, they ate the longevity noodles and quietly closed the door of the new house. Only the newlyweds were left in the new house.
Zhang Hanqing suddenly felt at a loss.
He has been working for less than five years after graduating from graduate school. Although he is quite old in terms of age, he dare not say that he is as good as a man. Some time ago, he even stole a fortune, but formal marriage talks have become a luxury: it is not that he does not want to start, but that he simply does not want to get married. Opportunity begins. I finally saved some money and thought I could have a happy love affair, but I accidentally traveled through time. After that, there was no chance to fall in love at all. The marriage was already decided, and I immediately had a wife, who was called "Mrs." at that time. History is a wonderful thing.
After the initial shock, Zhang Hanqing remembered Yu Fengzhi’s good fortune in history. From a purely male perspective, she should be said to be a great woman as well. Back then, she took the initiative to terminate the engagement with Zhang Xueliang, allowing Zhang Xueliang to marry Miss Zhao Si, who had been with him for half his life. It was just out of gratitude to the one he loved, and she sacrificed herself to fulfill her love! Her intelligence and courage are superior to Zhao Yidi (Miss Zhao Si). In history, the love between Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si has long been a well-known story. Zhao Yidi gave Zhang Xueliang an unchanging love for many years, while Yu Fengzhi gave Zhang Xueliang career support and family love. In her body, the dedication of an outstanding woman is truly reflected, because the emotion she gives to Zhang Xueliang is deeper, the love of a wife, the love of a sister and a brother, and the love of a friend.
Yu Fengzhi wore a red hijab on his head. According to custom, it was the groom's exclusive right to open it.
The concubine system is still fashionable these days, and the cheap dad also said that you can take concubines by yourself after marriage. According to later generations, it is now possible to find a "second wife" in a dignified manner. However, out of respect for Feng Zhi, a traditional woman, since he was confirmed to be her legal "husband", he decided to fulfill his "obligations" as a husband. Moreover, Zhang Hanqing was also a very "traditional" man at heart.
Although he is 4 years younger than Yu Feng, his mental age is much older than hers. On their wedding night, Zhang Hanqing suppressed the anxiety and curiosity in his heart, walked closely to Yu Fengzhi's side, and lifted up the red hijab with slightly trembling hands.

Chapter 170 Boudoir Joy

Yu Fengzhi also felt a little afraid, but more of a shy person. This man, who is 4 years younger than her, is destined to be the emperor of her destiny. Although the two had only met once in the painting shop before, the name "Young Marshal" had been well known to her for a long time. The scene in the painting shop is vivid in my mind, and my heart is filled with warmth. But suddenly his eyes lit up, and it turned out that his head was uncovered. She had some guesses about what happened next, but she didn't dare to believe it. Her heart, Coco, seemed to have a deer bumping around her chest.
While he was immersed in the past, a heroic face suddenly appeared in front of him, startling Yu Fengzhi who was lost in reverie. The owner of this face was dressed in a suit, looking smart and elegant, but his mouth was so treacherous that he looked like a frivolous and frivolous farmer. After he lifted up the red hijab, he breathed into his neck playfully. Although this action seemed a bit wild to her, she couldn't help but smile shyly when she thought of her husband's teasing from her future, or from now on.
This smile filled the room with warmth and the awkward situation was no longer there. Yu Feng, who had taken off her hijab, was extremely beautiful and delicate. She looked even better than when she came to visit her for the first time some time ago. Zhang Hanqing looked at the beauty in front of him and felt very satisfied: "Who said there are no beautiful women in the village? Where can I find such a beauty?"
Thinking about the history from then on, no matter whether she was honored or humiliated, she never gave up her love for herself. In the end, she even took the initiative to break off the engagement, just to fulfill her love with Miss Zhao Si. This kind of sincere feeling and deep love lasts forever and is worth thousands of words and vows of eternal love. "Madam, I'm coming." he said with a chuckle.
Zhang Hanqing’s marriage is destined not to be changed by will. As described in the marriage couplet, one of the two parties is the eldest son of the governor's family, and the other is the daughter of the richest man in Fengtian. They are perfectly matched and complementary. What's more, because it was approved by both parents' parents and they were secretly in love with each other, they were both satisfied.
Although Yu Fengzhi is older, he is willing to be inferior in matters between men and women. Zhang Hanqing was a man twice, so he was naturally superior in knowledge and experience. He still has some expectations for such a beautiful lady. In the relationship between husband and wife, you are weak and he is strong. Working with a precocious and open-minded mature woman is definitely a different feeling than working with an inexperienced girl. At least, Yu Fengzhi blushed with embarrassment, especially when Zhang Hanqing took off his coat with a smile and hummed the touching ditty from "The Romance of the West Chamber" in his memory:
"Under the lamp, I stare secretly, with flesh on my chest. It's wonderful, my whole body is full of peace, I wonder where spring comes from?"
Our beautiful girl Yu was even more shy and didn't dare to move. She still remembered the embarrassing things her mother told her the night before she went out: "Men, be more obedient and let him be in bed. Men are happy." Now, women's lives will be easier." No matter what he did, I had also thought about some of the adults' daily routines, which were nothing more than embarrassing things. This man is the sky, and the woman is the earth. Only when heaven and earth come together can human beings multiply.
She just held her breath and crept up beside the bed, waiting for her man to misbehave.
Zhang Hanqing is in trouble. According to the tradition these days of male superiority and female inferiority, if you are an evil tiger and pounces on food, the other party will probably have to recognize it. But he is no longer the first brother, and that pure impulse has become much weaker. He has never done this with Red Peony, let alone his first wife.
“Looking at her submissive look, I couldn’t help but feel masculine. Although your wife is older than you, you should not leave a shadow on her when you have sex for the first time. People say that the boudoir is a pleasure, and it would be great if she couldn't be turned into a cold person in this regard.
Zhang Hanqing smiled and sat down next to Yu Fengzhi, stretching out his right hand to wrap around her waist. When he touched it with his fingers, he noticed that Yu Fengzhi's body shrank, so he chuckled and said, "You are my wife now, why are you so afraid of me?" Then he rubbed it with his hands, from top to bottom, he felt that she was all slippery, and he could smell it by his nose. wisps of fragrance. The ancients said that among the four great joys of life, "bridal night" should be placed first, and it makes sense.
Thinking that this beautiful woman in front of you would be used as you please, something in your body changed. There is no way, I am young, but I have capital.
Yu Fengzhi was still a little panicked, but after being touched by him, she felt itchy all over. She could have resisted saying anything at first, but Zhang Hanqing's hands were touching more and more outrageously, and at the same time, the person was close to her, and she couldn't help but let out a low groan: "It's itchy."
What Zhang Hanqing wants is a common language, otherwise what fun would there be in just wandering around alone? This kind of thing is more interesting through interaction. Whether she is active or passive, if she responds, it means she still has feelings. He came close to Yu Fengzhi's mouth and said, "Brother, I'll scratch it for you."
Yu Fengzhi smiled. This man was a few years younger than him. He had a colorful mouth and he didn't know where he learned it.
When Zhang Hanqing saw her opening her heart, she also revealed a few
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Layer by layer, the hateful obstacles wrapped around fair skin are loosened. At the last moment, the elasticity that has been buried for a long time breaks through the heavy pressure and is released. When he caught a glimpse of Yu Fengzhi's true appearance, Zhang Hanqing's mind was buzzing with confusion, and his whole body was filled with strength for a moment.
Yu Fengzhi hurriedly tried to block Zhang Hanqing's sight, but when two people with inherent physical differences, the strong one worked hard and the weak one half-successed, the balance of victory was tilted to one side at the beginning of the battle. Therefore, the position of the weak side
It is foreseeable that the country will be lost in all directions very quickly.

Chapter 171 Almost escaped the old waist

This was the first time that the two parties had met frankly and prepared for intimate contact. The woman could not say whether she was shocked or not, but Zhang Hanqing was almost shocked.
To be honest, the money his body gave him was not bad. I remember that in "Water Margin", there are five points for the men that women like: "Pan, Donkey, Deng, Xiao, Xian". Zhang Hanqing had no way of knowing how handsome Pan An was, but the body he traveled through time really couldn't be too polite. One of the "Four Most Beautiful Men of the Republic of China" was a stinker, right?
Speaking of money, pure money should not be compared to Deng Tongdo, but I can’t wait for my father to have the power. He himself is also a rising star in Fengtian military circles. As long as he wants to make money, it shouldn’t be a problem.
Speaking of small things, Zhang Hanqing has received modern education, fully respects women, and recognizes the equality of men and women from the bottom of his heart. This kind of respect, as long as you work hard to experience it, can be felt in every word, deed, and action.
Speaking of leisure, this is a problem. Zhang Hanqing does not have so much time to spend the past month and the next. But on the other hand, aren’t good men who have a successful career and are dedicated to improvement more attractive to women?
The last thing is the point. Zhang Hanqing believes that his physical resources are not generally strong. At night since time traveling, he can often feel its extraordinary strength. His innate advantages and the continuation of time travel knowledge gave him the body of a young man and the skills of a veteran in the flowers. He knew that now was the best time to attack.
He lifted up the quilt. It was a little tight, but it didn't stop him from reaching in and touching around. It seemed that his wife had not closed the door tightly. However, when he touched a ball of slippery and soft elasticity, he still clearly felt that the other party's body tensed up, and he also tightened the quilt. Well, women who have never experienced human affairs are both loved and pitied.
Did you act too aggressively? Well, that's not good. He was confident that he could win by charging forward like this, but he felt a bit like a tiger trying to steal his bride. When it comes to conquering a woman, the more important thing is to focus on the fun, and don’t leave any shadow on her.
Zhang Hanqing let go of her hand and leaned on the bed with her naked body facing Yu Fengzhi. Although her heart was itching, she said with a smile: "You are my wife, let's see how long you can hide."
??Through the quilt, some embarrassing things were no longer visible. After a while, Zhang Hanqing did not move again, Yu Fengzhi boldly poked his head out and took a look. When their eyes met, the scene became a bit charming.
The beloved man was no longer careless, and Yu Fengzhi felt a little calmer. Zhang Hanqing suddenly shrank his shoulders and exclaimed, "It seems a little cold."
It’s already the beginning of autumn, and the weather is getting cooler. Yu Fengzhi deliberately gave him some quilts. After all, he was her husband. It would not be good if he got frozen. But when he thought that he really couldn't see anyone, even if it was his husband, he hesitated.
At this moment, Zhang Hanqing suddenly lifted up the quilt and rolled into the warm bed with all his strength.
In this small space, the woman has no way to hide, and when her skin touches each other, she feels the heat of the man. Men are usually stronger than women. Even if Zhang Hanqing is younger than Yu Fengzhi, he still has an advantage under the covers.
Yu Fengzhi was caught off guard and was squeezed in by Zhang Hanqing. His entry was extremely unexpected, and his hands became full of energy again and kept moving around her body. She didn't resist completely at first, and she had no room to struggle under Zhang Hanqing's experienced movements.
"Han Qing, don't do this!" This was a plea and plea she made in the midst of her busy schedule.
"What do you mean by nonsense? You are my wife, and it is just and natural for me to touch you!" Zhang Hanqing has reason and morality, so of course he will not be soft-hearted.
"You and I are constantly making small moves, but the relationship between the two is slowly deepening. Regardless of whether it was love for sex or sex for love, anyway, under Zhang Hanqing's skillful movements, Yu Fengzhi, whose mouth and face were covered with hickeys, no longer had the strength to resist, and certainly had no intention of resisting Zhang Hanqing's further movements. Zhang Hanqing, a veteran of Hua Cong, certainly lives up to this reputation. He gently licks the hair, slowly twists it, then picks it up, and touches the vagina hard when he has time. His sophistication quickly made the woman beneath him turn into a puddle of mud.
When a man kisses a woman, the woman no longer struggles. After a while, when he touched her, the woman just hugged the man tightly and let him wander away.
After a while, her defenses were lifted, and the woman kissed the man back cooperatively, allowing the man to turn his attention to the middle and lower plates. After realizing there was no resistance, the man's legs began to feel restless. First one leg squeezes in, then two legs in tandem, and then the man's third leg squeezes in after being in place. I've just reached a dangerous spot and am about to push forward.
It’s too late, but it’s too soon. Yu Fengzhi suddenly exclaimed: "Ouch, it hurts so much". At the same time, his body tensed up and he almost flashed Zhang Hanqing's waist. Zhang Hanqing was surprised: "I haven't entered yet, so why?"Zhang! "But Yu Fengzhi struggled to reach out and fumble under the sheets, and finally took out a big bulging walnut under the quilt.
It is a tradition among Northeastern folk to stuff things under the quilt when getting married. Walnuts are also called "child peaches", which means having more children and more blessings. But generally speaking, these things are placed in the corner of the quilt for easy removal. Unlike this time, it was neither placed in the right place nor found at the wrong time. If the root of the descendant is affected, it will be contrary to the original intention of hiding walnuts.
Who pulled the prank? Yu Fengzhi was still thinking about it at this time, remembering that her mother had arranged her wedding quilt in person, and no one else except close family members had the chance to touch it alone. Aunts and aunts are all experienced people, so they should not make such mistakes. The juniors are still young, and only Yu Yifan has the best chance: it seems that when she was putting away the bedding, she was still laughing at herself maliciously.
Zhang Hanqing didn’t have time to think about this public case. Does it matter who did it? There are more important things to do now! "Come again!" He threw the walnuts and jumped up again. Because of this walnut, a woman has a sense of psychological closeness - she is destined to live with this man, and if she wants to support her husband and raise children, she cannot blindly keep him away from her.
So Zhang Hanqing can easily get what he wants, and he can wander around as he wants, even to more intimate places. Then the woman felt the man's passion as fire and strength as iron. Gradually, she felt the moisture in the air. Gradually, she gave up her struggle and hugged the man tightly, allowing him to press into her more intimately.
Zhang Hanqing was condescending, looking down at his territory with great interest. It’s time to leave some memories inside, what should I write? Xiao Zhang is here for a visit? Still early.
This is my woman and she is ready. No matter how sharp he is, in this Republic of China where the Three Obediences and Four Virtues have a strong market, he can do whatever he wants without worrying about her feelings. This is an occasion for men to have sex with women, and it has nothing to do with respecting women. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Zhang Zuolin greatly appreciated the fact that Zhang Hanqing was going to the front line just five days after his wedding. Good boy, with this drive, your future will be limitless. And when Zhang Zuolin thought about it, it was certain that Zhang Hanqing would make meritorious service again, so of course he agreed to go.
So Zhang Hanqing, who had been fighting for five days, finally went to open another battlefield, which made Yu Fengzhi both happy and sad. It was good for his young body to lose the bondage of him by the bedside; but when he thought about how long it would be before he could see him, he felt a little sad.
Zhang Zuolin, who was still concerned about his daughter-in-law, was considerate. He sent his newly married fifth wife, Shou Yi, to comfort Yu Fengzhi: "It is the duty of a man to make contributions and build a career. As women, we naturally cannot hold back. The handsome young marshal is not at home, so handsome You should also take part in handling the affairs of the house, large and small. Men are working hard outside, so you can't let them worry about things at home, right?" Yu Fengzhi is also a sensible person, lowered his head and said: "Fifth mother is right, I’m just worried that he’s out there suffering.”
Another lingering night, this time Yu Fengzhi no longer holds back. When the tired Zhang Hanqing was about to fall asleep with half-closed eyes, Yu Fengzhi leaned next to him and said quietly: "You should take good care of yourself when you are alone outside, and don't work too hard. If anything goes wrong, it's important to save your life. You are my support." After rambling for a while, he said with a half-smile: "One more thing, don't touch those wild women when you go out, and don't think about bringing ghosts and foxes home, I I won’t agree to that.”
Poor Zhang Hanqing fell asleep with such panic.
The work of suppressing bandits in Jilin is not going well here.
It's not that the officers and soldiers of Jilin are not capable of fighting - the warlord Meng Enyuan, who has a combat capability comparable to that of the 27th Division, is also the commander of the 23rd Division and has greater authority over Jilin than Zhang Zuolin - Zhang Zuolin has a colleague from the same city. Feng Delin of the 28th Division sang the opposite, but Gao Shibi, the brigade commander of another mixed brigade in Jilin, was Meng Enyuan's nephew, and there was no one else to restrain him in Jilin.
Logically speaking, the job of suppressing bandits should be easier.
The truth is exactly the opposite, because the Japanese intervened.
Meng Enyuan didn’t have many troops in Jixi. When the bandit army invaded, he and his nephew Gao Shibi both made the mistake of idealism: It was easy for new troops like the Guard Brigade to defeat bandits, but couldn’t their own regular army capture them easily? So when the Pakistani bandits endlessly broke through the Jilin Army's outer defense line and surged across Changling and towards the Dongliao River, they found that no army could stop them.
At this time, he was hurriedly mobilizing troops from various places, but the Japanese army on the South Manchuria Railway violently stopped him from mobilizing troops through the railway. Like Zhang Zuolin, he also experienced the arrogance of the Japanese.
What’s even more irritating is that not only is the railway not available for use, but the 30 kilometers on both sides of the railway line are not allowed to enter, for fear that the Chinese army will infringe the sovereignty of the Southern Railway annex.
By August 13, Babuzabu led the remnants of his troops to successfully retreat to Guojiadian near Siping. He posted "Restore Du Ji" notices everywhere and sharpened his sword to attack Zhengjiatun - there was no way to defeat the guards. Traveling, it would be a good idea to use Zhang Zuolin’s relatives to relieve his grudges.
Of course the bandit suppressing troops on the front line refused, it was a joke, they were worried about the death of their ministers. If Zhengjiatun was harmed, how could a bunch of people have the honor to see Zhang Hanqing again? No longer paying attention to the previous agreement with Meng Enyuan, Han Linchun led his troops to enter Zhengjiatun for defense first. Wu Junsheng also wanted to beat up the drowned dog, so he also sent a team to follow. He was originally the garrison envoy of Taonan, and this could be regarded as his territory.
When marching and fighting, observing the situation is the first priority. While Han Linchun was arranging the deployment of defense, Zhang Hanqing was observing carefully in Zhengjiatun.
To be fair, the Japanese are very discerning and have long proposed building a railway here. There is the intersection of two rivers, the Liaohe Wharf that leads directly to Yingkou, more than 500 shops, and a population of tens of thousands. The geographical location here is also very important. It is located in the middle of Siping, an important place between Tongliao, an important town in Mongolia in the southeast, and Fengzhou and Jilin. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It is famous throughout the country as "an important town on the Liaohe River Channel" and "an important town in the Northeast".
The Japanese have a police station in Zhengjiatun, which has been established for four years.
? Ordinarily, as a symbol of an administrative unit that governs local areas, a private police station is a serious violation of China's sovereignty, but in that era, anything was possible. Doesn’t the Chinese government just like “protests”, “serious protests”, “stern representations”, etc. The South China Sea disputes before the crossing still followed the usual practice? There is no way, a weak country has no diplomacy.
With the police station, there is legitimate local security management power. Although there are only a few people, the local Chinese government does not dare to take care of them. Why, if you annoy them, the Japanese army can intervene openly, and it will be common for the Chinese government to end up with the crime of "causing trouble and disrupting government".
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??, but my heart is not lazy.
Now it’s all right, the Guard Brigade’s tens of thousands of troops are nearby, and the “King’s Division” will not be far away from regaining the lost ground. In order to win face for the people of Zhengjiatun and Yu Fengzhi's natal family, as the commander of the first army, he had to make a gesture. Suppressing bandits is also an activity to declare sovereignty.
Riding on a tall horse, our young marshal was in high spirits, escorted by a group of cavalry, and walked happily through the busy city. I came here once not long ago when I proposed marriage, and I just took a quick look. Now I have a rare opportunity, so I took a look.
There was a loud roar from the crowd. After all, it is rare to see such a young and high-ranking official. Those who knew about it excitedly whispered to the people next to them: "Do you know? This brigade commander is the son-in-law of Chenglong Kuai of the Yu family, the young marshal of Fengtian City!" Then someone clicked their tongues and said, "She is indeed a talented man and a beautiful woman. The Yu family is rich. The young lady is a beauty with a radius of hundreds of miles, and this husband is not willing to give in too much!"
Just as we were enjoying ourselves, suddenly a loud cry of "Wow" came from behind the crowd, and another domineering voice said: "Bagh Yalu!" Then I heard a girl crying and saying: "He bullies others! He beats me!" The voice then said: "Yours, you are fighting to the death! It's so embarrassing to cry! Tai Tai Gai!"
This sound is so familiar and yet so harsh, it comes alive in my ears. If it weren't for this sound, Zhang Hanqing would still be intoxicated by the illusion of strong soldiers and horses. This sound brought him back to reality: this is the Republic of China, and the Japanese are still here.
The crowd on one side suddenly gave way, and a little girl with unkempt hair and face stumbled over, holding a basket in her hand. I don't know what it was. Then a short and tall boy pushed through the crowd and chased out. . After all, the girl couldn't outrun the adult, and she was still holding something, so he grabbed her and threatened to beat her.
"Such a disgraceful thing happened in front of Zhang Hanqing, so of course he had to take care of it. He grabbed the horse's reins, stopped, and shouted at the man: "Let that girl go!" The man glanced and said from between his teeth: "What kind of work are you doing?"
With his identity and status, except for Feng Delin who didn't buy his father's fault and therefore didn't have a good impression of himself, who else in Fengtian City wouldn't respect him as "Young Marshal"? This man, most importantly a Japanese, was rude to him! What is this!
Zhang Hanqing's adjutant Zhu Guangmu jumped off his horse at this time and said majestically: "This is the son of Marshal Zhang from Fengtian City and the brigade commander of the Guard Brigade." Others dare not say that Zhang Zuolin's influence is still very great. Zhang Hanqing's face also depends on Zhang Dashuai's sake. It would be fine if the other party had the sense to accuse him, but in troubled times, it would be better to cause less trouble.
Someone next to him whispered the whole story: "This is Yoshimoto, the clerk of Guangjitang, a Japanese drugstore. He has always bullied men and women here. I have seen that little girl. Her parents make a living fishing on the Liao River. She sells It’s fishy. I don’t know why, but I provoked Gibbon, and he just got slapped a few times.”
But Yoshimoto was so arrogant that he laughed uproariously and muttered a few words in Japanese. Although I couldn't understand what he was saying, even a fool could tell from the twitchy expression that he meant disdain. It happened that there was someone who knew Japanese around Zhang Hanqing, and he immediately translated it, to the effect that this was a matter in a Japanese store, and Chinese soldiers had no right to interfere!
Zhang Hanqing was furious. It is intolerable for a grown man to bully a little girl. What is even more intolerable is that the Japanese bully the Chinese and despise China's sovereignty like this! He pointed his horsewhip and shouted: "What's your ability to play heroes with children? If you have the guts, come to me! Besides, let me tell you, this is China's territory. I will never allow you to hit people and speak rudely!"
Yoshimoto was used to being arrogant, so he was not afraid of who the Chinese were across from him. In his mind, in Fengtian and the Northeast, only the officials in the Guandong Hall and the garrison were the bosses. Anyone who faced the Japanese had to stay away and beat the dog. It depends on the owner! He didn't dare to attack Zhang Hanqing - there were really few people around him - but he took the little girl and slapped her hard again!
This slap seemed to hit Zhang Hanqing on the face, and all the guards felt "honored". The crowd made an angry cry but not a word. Everyone looked at Zhang Hanqing eagerly, with expectant eyes hoping that Zhang Hanqing would do something. After all, he is a high official!
This look made Zhang Hanqing feel sad and painful, and made him feel shame and sympathy. Chinese people have always believed that doing more is worse than doing less. When encountering problems, they expect others to take the lead, while they themselves sit back and watch. How many times have it been reported that those who bravely committed acts of righteousness were insulted by the other side while those who were rescued remained indifferent. In the Nanjing Massacre, the Japanese army only used a few people to hold thousands of Chinese people and let them "bravely" go to the execution ground This is the tragedy of the nation and China. tragedy.
But we can’t blame them: China has been weak for too long, and foreigners have developed the habit of being lawless in China. The government's long-term inaction allowed the people to wisely choose to endure humiliation and survive in the face of external conflicts. This cycle allowed the Chinese to develop the habit of being as ferocious as ghosts internally and servile externally. This habit was later developed In the history of the Anti-Japanese War, traitors and puppet troops emerged one after another, and one of the reasons was that there were more leading parties than devils. Even in modern times, there have been reports of military helicopters being used to rescue Japanese tourists who were lost in the mountains. This can be understood as an extreme situation of alternative inferiority complex - an inferiority complex that longs for recognition (remember this website address: www .hlnovel.com)When faced with foreign conflicts, the people wisely chose to endure humiliation and survive.

Zhang Hanqing decided to take the risk.
If the arrogant Yoshimoto is not brought to justice, Zhang Hanqing will look down on himself in his heart for the rest of his life. If he used to hate this kind of news because he was powerless, but now he controls an army of tens of thousands of people, and if he still uses this reason to excuse himself, then what is the difference between himself and those in power? Who doesn’t have his own reasons and Xiao Jiujiu?
Revitalizing China starts with me! Even if they are beaten back to their original form, these tens of thousands of disciple soldiers who have been personally trained are more than qualified to go deep into the mountains and fight guerrillas! At that time, the conditions of the Communist Party were more than one level worse than their own now. Didn't they still use the armed masses to fight guerrilla warfare to catch up with the little Japan? At that time, China was weaker after twenty years of civil war, and Japan was stronger after more than twenty years of development. Couldn't they still win with millet and rifles?
Since you have made this decision, there is no need to be afraid or look forward and backward. Zhang Hanqing ordered the guards: "Tie up this ungrateful thing, beat him severely, and then send him to the police station!"
Adjutant Zhu Guangmu still had scruples. He gently touched the corner of Zhang Hanqing's clothes: "Young Marshal, don't make the matter a big deal. There are many Japanese stationed in Zhengjiatun!"
"It's okay if he doesn't say it," Zhang Hanqing swung his horsewhip and was furious at Gibbon: "You still don't do it!"
The guards who were already filled with righteous indignation swarmed forward, twisting their arms, hitting their belts, kicking their legs, and smashing their gold teeth, and they subdued Gibbon in an instant. Gibbon probably never dreamed that he would dare to treat himself as a "foreign guest" in this place and in this way. Even when he was beaten countless times, he still said: "You are dead." Damn it! The Imperial Japanese Army will not let you go!"
In accordance with the young marshal's spirit of "beating him hard", several guards threw him up and slammed him to the ground. Gibbon was so beaten that he couldn't speak anymore.
Only then did the onlookers let out roaring cheers, and only at this moment was the deep-seated national soul of this great country awakened again. People shouted "Well done, long live the young marshal!" Zhang Hanqing smiled and greeted: "Long live the great Chinese people!"
"If it hadn't been in broad daylight, Zhang Hanqing would have really wanted to kill Gibbon with his own hands. In the army, it would only take seconds. But if such a simple civil conflict escalates to the point of killing people, it will cause quite a stir. Zhang Hanqing knew what was right, but at that moment, there was no need to take that risky move. After all, he was not here to fight guerrillas.
Yoshimoto was transferred to the Chinese police station. You can do whatever you want. It is estimated that the police in the Chinese police station do not have the same confidence as themselves. It is certain that Yoshimoto will be released, but it should be in private. As long as the situation is acceptable, Zhang Hanqing will not be able to cause trouble again.
But before Zhang Hanqing completed his inspection, someone reported urgently that Japanese police broke into the Fengjun Corps Headquarters in a menacing manner. Commander Han Linchun was negotiating with the other party, but it was not expected to end well. After Zhang Hanqing returned urgently, the situation expanded.
It turns out that the young marshal’s lesson to the Japanese businessman Yoshimoto was spread from one person to another, and soon it became known to the people of Zhengjiatun. While everyone was talking about it, the news was also obtained by the Japanese plainclothes team and was quickly reported to the Japanese police station in Zhengjiatun (don't be surprised, the names of Chinese police stations are imported from Japan).
The Japanese police usually want to dominate in front of the Chinese people. How can they tolerate their own nationals being imprisoned by the Chinese and losing the face of the Japanese Empire? The police were immediately dispatched. Not only did they successfully rescue Yoshimoto, they also sent a policeman to negotiate with the Guard Brigade, demanding that the murderer be handed over and interrogated by the Japanese police! The policeman showed great anger. Huh, you can't stop beating Japanese expatriates. I am a policeman of the Empire of Japan. Let's see what you dare to do! He roared and cursed at Han Linchun and other officers and soldiers.
This was done deliberately to disgrace the young marshal. The young marshal personally punished the Japanese, and all the people in Zhengjiatun knew about it. Since the Japanese could know that Yoshimoto was in custody, they naturally knew the whole story, and they still wanted to do this to embarrass Zhang Hanqing.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Joke! The one who took action was the young marshal. He wanted to catch Zhang Hanqing unless the entire regiment was destroyed! How could Han Linchun retreat? However, Han Linchun knew the power of this. When the Marshal often discussed the situation with him, he also made a plan to "hide his clumsiness" and was unwilling to conflict with the Japanese side at this time. Even the assassination case of Zhang Zuolin was eventually settled.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off the military interpreter, Han Linchun explained his identity, told the Japanese police that Yoshimoto had brought the blame on himself, and advised the Japanese to reduce the big issues to trivial matters, and make trouble, there will be no good results. The Japanese police who have developed a habit of not paying any attention to who Han Linchun is is a regiment commander or a colonel. To him, all Chinese people are the same, facing the absolute power of Japan.?Keep your head down. He said angrily: "Zhengjiatun is already under the jurisdiction of Japan. All Chinese troops are not allowed to disturb the security here. This incident of the garrison attacking our overseas Chinese must be handed over to someone responsible, otherwise all the consequences will arise." You all have to bear it!”
Seeing people wearing Japanese police uniforms chattering and talking incomprehensible words, the officers and soldiers of the Guards Brigade, who had always been accustomed to the Japanese showing off their power, couldn't help but feel guilty. They unconsciously shut up and allowed the Japanese policeman to speak arrogantly and loudly in words that no one could understand, but everyone could tell that what he said was not a good thing.
The Japanese police used one person's power to suppress thousands of Fengjun soldiers at the regiment headquarters like a mantis holding a chariot, which looked very majestic. This may sound like a joke, but it is also an alternative and true reflection of China’s reality. From one aspect, it reflects the deep-rooted fear and powerlessness of the Chinese people towards Japan, even the Guards Brigade, which has been educated for a long time, is no exception. It also shows from another aspect that empty protests can never give citizens a sense of security. This is not to blame for the Chinese people’s fear of Japan. This is true even for the Guard Brigade mobilized by Zhang Hanqing himself, let alone other Beiyang armies.
Even Han Linchun lost his patience. He shouted to the Japanese police: "Zhengjiatun is Chinese territory, and no one welcomes you to maintain security here! We Chinese soldiers and police are both capable enough to make security here better. In fact, before the Japanese came here, the security situation here was always good!"
The Japanese police were so arrogant: "No! The security of Zhengjiatun is handled by Japan!"
Han Linchun was furious: "This is Chinese land, and the Chinese army and police can manage it. On the contrary, what reason do you have to occupy this place and interfere in China's internal affairs?!"
The Japanese policeman was furious and pointed at Han Linchun’s nose and cursed. The translator nearby was angry and frightened, but there was no translation. It was obvious that these words were extremely insulting. The translator was not only afraid of a falling out between the two parties, but also angry at the Japanese's rudeness.
At this moment, Han Linchun described it as the greatest shame and humiliation of his life: as a senior guard brigade official in charge of one side, he was actually pointed at and scolded by an ordinary Japanese policeman.
Still said: "Literal translation!" This surprised everyone present. It was Zhang Hanqing who came in person. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 176 Speech on a Pool of Blood

Zhang Hanqing quit. He ordered to shout to the officers and soldiers outside the hospital: "Fire freely at the Japanese for ten minutes. If you don't die, I will talk to him!" The clay figurine also has a third nature of fire, not to mention Zhang Hanqing? I was almost beaten to death just now. I can't do anything good about this hatred.
After receiving the order, the officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade began to avenge what they had just done. They stood outside the courtyard wall and responded to the Japanese soldiers' requests with raindrops of gunfire. Because the wall was not high and the courtyard was too small, the Guards Brigade officers and soldiers could stand and see what was going on in the courtyard, but the Japanese did not have a good location to hide in. For a while, the dead and wounded were in a mess, and blood flowed all over the ground.
In less than ten minutes, there were no more standing Japanese soldiers in the yard. The officers and soldiers rushed into the courtyard and handed over their guns in a pool of blood. Counting the battlefield, seventeen Japanese were killed on the spot, many of them were beaten into sieves; four were seriously injured, and three of them died on the way back; three were injured, but their legs were beaten into honeycombs. We can no longer do evil in China. Of course, there were two Japanese soldiers with strange scars who surprisingly had no wounds at all. They huddled among their dead comrades and luckily managed to save their lives. The Japanese policeman and Yoshimoto, the Japanese partner of the pharmacy, were shot dead outside the hospital gate.
Zhang Hanqing looked at the dead guards, and there was an unknown fire in his heart as he had survived the disaster. The whole story of the incident is very clear. It was the improper handling of the sentry that lost the earliest warning time, and a bunch of bewildered officers and soldiers allowed the Japanese soldiers to rush in without any countermeasures, resulting in the sacrifice of a staff officer, two guards, and a soldier. Several others were injured. In a military camp of 3,000 people, these twenty or so people beat one person to the point of being knocked upside down. If there were more enemies and more firepower, the headquarters would be overrun! The September 18th Incident was a small group of Japanese soldiers who rushed into the North Camp of tens of thousands of Northeastern troops, allowing them to complete a miracle in the history of war without firing a single shot! If this situation is allowed to develop, what would be surprising if September 18th happens again!
"In the courtyard, in the pool of blood, Zhang Hanqing ordered people to dismantle the courtyard, had the officers and soldiers stand in circles, and summoned the entire regiment to give on-the-spot training. His tone was passionate and furious:
"Today, just now, right here, the headquarters was raided by a group of twenty-six Japanese soldiers, and four comrades were buried here!
We have three thousand officers and soldiers with steel guns in their hands. We have sentries, hidden sentries, and commanders at all levels. How did these Japanese soldiers get in? Why wasn't it discovered and stopped? At the first moment, I was thinking that even three thousand pigs could not be slaughtered in such a short period of time!
I have always stressed that when you put on this military uniform, you are no longer a submissive commoner, you have become a soldier who protects your home and country! You can't even protect yourself, so why are you talking about protecting your home and country? How can ordinary people believe that you can protect your home and country! The military camp is sacred and inviolable. If someone storms the camp, what should you do? You've done a great job in training, but why are you scared out of your pants when you meet Japanese people?
Japanese soldiers are human beings too. If you try to move, you will beat them to death! It depends on whether you dare! Even though I, the brigade commander, am not afraid of taking responsibility, what are you afraid of if you obey orders and handle matters according to military regulations?
Remember, the Guard Brigade is China’s army and the people’s army. Remember to protect your home and country, and don’t be afraid of anything. Everyone is destined to die, some are lighter than a feather, and some are heavier than Mount Tai. He who died for the people will be remembered by the people forever! I remember that the leader of Deng Shichang, who died for his country in the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894, was posthumously given an elegiac couplet that read, "If you are a man of honor, you will never live; if you are a man of honor, you will never die." This sentence has always inspired me to sacrifice my life and blood for China's independence and strength until death! "
Under the enthusiastic attention of thousands of officers and soldiers, Zhang Hanqing raised his left hand and asked passionately: "Are you afraid of death for the sake of China's strength?"
Thousands of people responded in unison: "Don't be afraid!"
Zhang Hanqing asked loudly: "What will you do if someone breaks into the military camp again?"
Someone immediately shouted: "Beat him to death!" Of course, some people shouted: "Fuck him!" Someone else shouted: "Copy the guy!" The originally solemn and exciting venue was suddenly disrupted.
Zhang Hanqing calmed down his passion and anger and began to reflect on himself: "Why did I accidentally get confused by my emotions? I was fine just now, but I accidentally asked a question that I didn't agree on. This is not right. Slogans should be left alone. Let's follow our emotions. It would be great if we changed this sentence to "If someone breaks into the military camp again, we will fight." Everyone will definitely follow the cry of "fight". Pay extra attention to this matter.”
At this time, Zhang Hanqing’s guards had notified the Military Law Class to arrest the sentry on duty. The sentry, who knew he had caused a big disaster, had tears streaming down his face, and he was extremely blaming himself for his dereliction of duty that led to the sacrifice of four comrades-in-arms. Zhang Hanqing pointed his hand and said??Everyone said: "It was him who, as today's sentry, failed to perform his duties as a sentry. When there was a crisis, he ran away first and allowed the Japanese soldiers to break in. This led to what happened today. According to military law, how should we deal with it?"
The last sentence was asked by the Chief of Military Law, and of course the answer was death.
Zhang Hanqing solemnly ordered: "Come here! Take him down, verify his identity, and shoot him immediately!" Ci is not in charge of the army. At critical moments, it is necessary to kill one person to serve as a warning to others and to strictly enforce military discipline. However, he still expressed his love: "If we find out who else is in his family, I will personally give you five hundred yuan. If his parents are still alive, I will provide for them; if he has children, I will be responsible for raising them!"
The sentry made a "plop" sound and knelt down to Zhang Hanqing, howling loudly. Zhang Hanqing angrily said: "I'm sorry that you didn't die on the front line defending our country. But if I let you go, how can I be worthy of my comrades who sacrificed their lives?"
The sentry cried loudly: "I, Wang Dazhu, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death! Even if I am a ghost, I will never forget the kindness of the young marshal. I kowtow to you on behalf of my parents! I just don't want to give in. I didn't know what to do when I was confused. Yes! I also want to fight the Japanese soldiers. I should be killed in the battle instead of being executed by my own people! In this way, even after death, I will not be able to enter the Wang family’s ancestral hall again!"
His heartbreaking words made the officers and soldiers feel very sad. I don't know who shouted: "Young Marshal, Wang Dazhu is not a coward. Please save his life and fight against the Japanese in the future!" Others also shouted in agreement: "Young Marshal, please spare his life. We did the same just now. We were all to blame for being frightened by the Japanese soldiers!”
Seeing that the military's morale was available, Zhang Hanqing signaled to Han Linchun. The two old treacherous masters immediately understood. Han Linchun grabbed Zhang Hanqing's arm and said: "Young Marshal, this is your first offender. Please spare Wang Dazhu's life. From now on, the Guard Brigade will strictly enforce discipline and keep its purpose in mind. Hit wherever the young marshal points you, and if you violate it again, you will be severely punished!"
When Wu Junsheng heard Zhang Hanqing’s story, he looked up to the sky and laughed and said: “From now on, the Guard Brigade belongs to Xiao Liuzi.” (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 177 Confrontation

If the young marshal's rescue of the fish-selling girl from the Japanese police gave comfort to the people, the shooting of Yoshimoto, the police, and the killing of piles of Japanese soldiers made the Chinese with a little blood rejoice. Zhang Hanqing was also praised as The backbone of the Chinese people.
However, after calming down, Zhang Hanqing was still a little scared: How can this matter be solved? The Japanese will never give up. While he asked Han Linchun to quickly arrange for a complete eradication of the Pakistani bandits, he quickly sent someone to report to Zhang Zuolin to be prepared for possible fierce situations.
It’s time to give the Pakistani bandit a final blow, at least to eliminate it quickly before the Japanese army arrives, so as not to become a bargaining chip for the Japanese and cause the tail to be lost. Moreover, there is no lack of "tradition" in history for the Japanese to use weapons without permission on the pretext of protecting their territory, expatriates, and assets from losses. Zhang Hanqing decided to use military force quickly to quickly eliminate the Babu Zabu bandit army, leaving the Japanese with nothing to say and no reason. play. After receiving the order, the Guard Brigade quickly advanced towards Guojiadian from all directions, and a team of tens of thousands of people surrounded the entire town. The artillery company directly under the brigade headquarters also set up cannons, preparing to wipe out Guojiadian in one go.
After a brutal attack by the cavalry company, Guo Songling's stormy defense, and General Han's aggressive attack, the Babu bandit army could never regain its strength and huddled in Guojiadian, preparing to accept the protection of its old master, the Japanese army. . Although the Pakistani bandits could not foresee what happened in Zhengjiatun, the Japanese army did not break their promise after expecting Japanese intervention.
Just a few hours after the conflict broke out, a Japanese squadron from Gongzhuling had already approached Guojiadian. This made the officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade, especially Zhang Hanqing and Han Linchun, secretly frightened: In such a short period of time, even if the Japanese soldiers got the news, They couldn't have arrived so quickly. Did they come by helicopter?
There is only one explanation. This Japanese soldier has already received the mission. They are not clear about the conflict a few hours ago. It is just a coincidence.
?That is indeed the case.
There were Japanese intelligence officers among the Pakistani bandits, or the entire Pakistani bandits were armed by the Japanese. Therefore, when the situation was not good for the Pakistani bandits, the Japanese chose to intervene - trying to make the two teams cease fighting. This Japanese soldier is here to perform this mission.
Stopping Fengtian’s army at the moment when it was about to succeed was both insulting and self-confident. The insult is to show that the war situation has always been under the control of the Japanese. They can fight if they want to fight and stop if they want to. They are confident that for a battle of this scale, the Japanese soldiers only came to one squadron, which was not full of soldiers - this one was originally stationed in Zhengjiatun. The squadron is only missing about twenty people.
They were already prepared, but of course they are even more rude now. The leader of the squadron, Banze, was aggressive and wanted to show off his power to the Guard Brigade: "Your actions have seriously threatened the interests of the Japanese Empire. I give you a limit of one hour to leave Zhengjiatun and retreat thirty miles. Moreover, in view of the We, the Japanese Empire, have friendly relations with the Mongols. You must agree to allow these Mongolian soldiers to return to Mongolia! Otherwise, our Japanese locust army will directly protect the Mongolian soldiers from returning!"
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Not to mention the consequences of raising tigers, what about the burning, killing and looting along the way? The anti-bandit army mobilized and fought for so many days, just because of a word from the Japanese? joke! If you really do this, not to mention that the reputation that the Guard Brigade has finally won will be completely ruined. What will the world think of Zhang Hanqing? How could Zhang Hanqing endure it?
"But it is not a wise move to conflict with the Japanese army. It will affect the whole body." Zhang Zuolin's current strength is really not enough to support a fight with Japan, and Zhang Hanqing is not willing to ruin the hard-earned situation.
Zhang Hanqing asked the army to stop the Japanese soldiers. He loudly ordered in front of Banze: "Send the order to suppress the bandits: It has reached a critical moment. No bandit is allowed to escape, and no outsider is allowed to enter. We will not fire the first shot. But if the other side attacks us, we must retaliate with tooth for tooth and blood for blood!"
The officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade readily agreed, and the soldiers of the two companies were ready to charge. As long as Zhang Hanqing gives the order, the Japanese soldiers in the opposite squadron are not enough to make dumplings. The young marshal's words are still ringing in his ears, and the entire Guard Brigade is full of murderous intent. It depends on how the Japanese act!
After understanding the meaning, Banze was furious: This is a direct confrontation with the prestige of the Japanese, a provocation to Japan, and a serious insult to the soldiers! He shouted "ya ya ya" orders, and the Japanese soldiers quickly picked up their guns and loaded their guns with bullets. A bloody battle was inevitable.
Zhang Hanqing was unmoved: "That's it. Even if it adds infinite variables to Fengjun's future development, even if my advantage as a time-traveling prophet disappears, I will definitely continue this battle. For this reason It made up for the inaction of the predecessor in September 18th, and also made up for the people who died in the Sino-Japanese War.An explanation. I worked hard and I have no regrets. "
With a gesture from him, the officers and soldiers around him also faced off with guns and live ammunition. At this time, the communication system of the Guard Brigade played a good role. In the distance, waves of officers and soldiers approached the Japanese soldiers; in the distance, black gun heads emerged one after another; in the distance, the officers and soldiers of the machine gun company set up Okay, several heavy machine guns. There is no doubt that as long as the Japanese soldiers dare to fire the first shot, it will not be long before the Japanese soldiers in this squadron will become a sieve.
Banze felt the pressure. As a well-trained and loyal person, he would not frown even at a disadvantage or even death. But he had to consider the turmoil it would cause. Because the news coming from the army base camp is that Japan needs to recuperate rather than start another war - the creation of the Russo-Japanese War has not been healed (in addition to taking down Dalian and Port Arthur under Russian control in this fierce battle, the Japanese also No benefits were obtained. Russia refused to agree to any compensation for the defeat, which made Japan's intention to make a huge profit after the victory come to nothing. The victory of the Russo-Japanese War was more of a tragic victory than a great victory for the Japanese). In addition, his captain also said before coming that Japan was not ready for a big war, and they were only here to cheer up.
Now it is the turn of the bandits in the encirclement to be frightened.
It’s time to deal a devastating blow to the bandit army, otherwise as the Japanese army continues to increase, it will add a lot of variables to the future. On the contrary, as long as there are no bandit troops, the Japanese army has no excuse to intervene, and both sides have steps to go down.
On August 15, the bandit suppressing army launched a full-scale attack. The bandit army entrenched in Guojiadian took advantage of the tight terrain and resisted stubbornly. However, they gradually fell under the wave of offensives of the bandit suppressing army.
Listening to the surging offensive of the Guard Brigade and the dying cries of the "friendly troops", Banze was extremely anxious. But Zhang Hanqing took advantage of the large number of people and arranged a regiment of troops to "protect" them layer by layer, leaving them helpless.

At this time, Wu Junsheng personally led a regiment of cavalry to arrive. Before that, he had heard about the confrontation between Zhang Hanqing and Japanese soldiers. With the fear of the Japanese and the concern that Zhang Hanqing's newborn calf is not afraid of death, if the two sides exchange fire, it will be a shocking thing for anyone: if the Japanese lose, the consequences will be unimaginable, even if Zhang Hanqing has any shortcomings, Even if he was not the person in charge of this bandit suppression, it would be difficult for him to meet Zhang Zuolin.
However, when he arrived panting, seven out of ten of the more than 3,000 bandits had been eliminated, and the remaining defeated soldiers were struggling on the line of death and would surely die soon. The continuous injuries also caused the morale of the bandit army to plummet. It won't take long for a charge from the Guards Brigade to scatter these ruffians who are accustomed to fighting against the wind. This scene puzzled Wu Junsheng, who had been in battle for a long time: It is not that he stood up, but this scholar was so courageous that he actually challenged the Japanese: Everyone knows that the Japanese support this group of people. Gangsters actually slap the Japanese in the face!
Qing Yi Shengmin in the encirclement was also worried: It was impossible to rely on these Mongolian soldiers to win by surprise, and the Japanese soldiers on the periphery had no excuse to intervene. What should I do?
Even if you don’t have an excuse, you have to find one!
The cunning Qing Ya Shengmin thought of a very shrewd but powerful method. He asked people to raise the Japanese flag at the fortified location. Qing Yi proudly waved the flag himself. He believed that the Fengjun on the opposite side would not dare to attack him, mainly it, under any circumstances! Under the light of the Great Japanese Empire, the yellow-skinned sick man of East Asia would not have the courage - Japan had already left Asia and joined Europe, becoming the Japanese devil that attracted the attention of all countries.
Although it was just a small flag, it really made things difficult for the bandit-suppressing army, and made Banze, who had been thinking about it for a long time, call him a masterpiece. Hum, if the anti-bandit army dares to infringe on the Japanese flag, I can intervene with force in an honest and upright manner! Wherever this sun flag is planted, it is a bunker, an iron wall, a silent intimidation, and a sign of invincibility.
When reporting to Zhang Hanqing, Zhang Hanqing also encountered difficulties. If he took action, he would inevitably hit the plaster flag and not move. If the flag was placed in the most dangerous place, Fengjun's attack would be fatal or lifeless.
Is a flag more powerful than the lives of countless young soldiers in the Guard Brigade? No! Zhang Hanqing decided to use it as a shroud for the bandits. This time he would take the initiative to "provoke" the Japanese.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Hanqing sternly ordered: "Aim at the stubborn bandit holding the flag and attack with cannon." The cannon is more powerful. If you don't do anything for a long time, it's just a big deal, and you might as well provoke the bloodiness of the soldiers. The bloodstains of the four comrades-in-arms are still wet, so they are not afraid of causing trouble again. Anyway, this time they are in trouble.
Wu Junsheng quickly stopped him. He pulled Zhang Hanqing over and said, "Hanqing, this is not a joke. Let's take it slow before fighting. Let's think of a way first. We can't afford to offend the Japanese!"
Zhang Hanqing knew his good intentions, but at this moment, there was no room for him to hesitate. At this time, it is hard to say whether the Japanese will completely fall out with their fathers because of these gangsters. This opportunity to earn face is rare.
Gunner Xu Kewu was transferred from the neighboring Yijun camp after the Guards Brigade was established. He is a good artilleryman who is well-trained. As soon as he arrived, he became the pacesetter of the artillery company directly under the brigade. After receiving Zhang Hanqing's personal order, he felt invisible pressure and solemnity in the enthusiastic and expectant eyes of his colleagues.
He has long been dissatisfied with the Japanese, and has long been dissatisfied with the cunning of the bandits in using tiger skins to make coats. But the fear and anti-Japanese sentiment that had accumulated over the years left him at a loss as to what to do. The reason why he came out of the Yi Army was because he heard that the Guard Brigade had a neither humble nor arrogant attitude toward Japan. This can be seen from their usual "patriotic" propaganda.
Now that I have been entrusted with the important task of history, this is the first time since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1899. It is up to me whether I can make the people of the country proud with one shot.
Calculate, adjust, and aim in one go. He was concentrating, as if completing a solemn ceremony.
With a loud "boom", the shells moved forward with flames burning. The men and horses at both ends of the battlefield fell silent, watching the trajectory of this shell, which determined the life and death of many people.
?????????????????????????????????????? It passed over the heads of many people, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then fell.
It was passing through the middle of the sun flag, then landed, and then exploded.
Captain Qingyi Shengmin, the self-proclaimed colonel, stood dumbfounded. After the cannonball passed through the flag in his hand, he completely forgot that this was a battlefield, and that the cannonball would explode when it hit the ground. The explosion would kill people. He stared blankly at the sun flag that was shot through the middle, unable to conceal the astonishment in his heart.
In this moment, hugeThe air wave knocked him several meters away, his diaphragm was blown out of blood, half of his head was cut off, and one of his legs was blown off.
It doesn’t matter, because he was already dead, at that moment of astonishment.
The bandit army’s last life-saving straw has failed. The bandit-suppressing army on the opposite side is not even afraid of their Japanese father, so what hope is there? Their morale had completely collapsed, and their resistance gradually weakened amid calls to surrender their guns and not kill.
Zhang Hanqing pointed to a scattered place that was still struggling and said sternly: "Use artillery bombardment to destroy them all!" After watching the battle for more than ten minutes, he had concluded that this was the command post of the bandit army.
Howling, shrill, crying. Regardless of the enemy's miserable condition, the Guards Brigade fired one shell after another for free. Until someone waved a white flag and cried and shouted: "The commander is dead."
The only commander left is Babu Zabu. With this sound, the bandits completely lost their fighting spirit and disarmed one after another.
Babuzabu, the leader of the bandit army that ran across Inner Mongolia and beyond, has finally calmed down and stopped doing evil. He was killed by the last burst of violent artillery fire, with multiple bullet holes in his body when he died.
The bandit rebellion, which lasted for nearly two months, was put down in this way. In addition to the 1,300 bandits who died in the battle and nearly 600 wounded soldiers, the Guards Brigade captured nearly 1,400 bandits before and after, and captured nearly 1,000 war horses. Two thousand horses, several machine guns and cannons, it can be said to be a complete victory. The annihilation of the bandit army also brought good news to the people of Inner Mongolia. Otherwise, it cannot be overstated how harmful the roaming horse bandits are to the lives of the herdsmen.
Out of humanity, the soldiers of the Guard Brigade cremated the dead bandits and erected a tombstone for Babu Zabu. The inscription on it was: "Babu Zabu, an accomplice of Russia and Japan, was raped and died here." Throughout his life experience, he spent his time seeking separatism by seeking refuge with Russia, Japan and Japan. He organized a group of horse bandits, looted everywhere, and often challenged the central government. Russia and Japan used him as a pawn to blackmail the Chinese government in various negotiations and seek maximum rights for aggression. His coffin-closing conclusion was very appropriate.

Chapter 179 Wipe your ass
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Zuolin was shocked when he received the news of the conflict between China and Japan.
It’s not that he thought Zhang Hanqing’s handling was wrong, nor was it that he didn’t dare, remember that Zhang Huzhu had done a lot of harm to Japanese people back then.
Soon after taking over Fengtian, the Japanese army killed a Chinese soldier. Zhang Zuolin went to negotiate with the Japanese in person and lodged a protest. The Japanese consul said: "This matter is very simple" and wrote a check for 5,000 yuan and handed it to Zhang Zuolin. After Zhang returned, he immediately ordered that half of the entire army go back on vacation and kill the Japanese when they encounter them. But it was already midnight, and only two Japanese were killed. At three o'clock in the morning, the Japanese consul came to Zhang Zuolin and said, "You Chinese killed two of us Japanese, which is very serious!" Zhang Zuolin said, "That's very simple," and then handed back the check the Japanese consul gave him. , and wrote another check for 5,000 yuan and gave it to the Japanese consul. Afterwards, he said: "This is called tit for tat."
"But the death of more than 20 Japanese soldiers is not a trivial matter. If he waits until the Japanese come to him, he will be passive." Lao Zhang is also famous for his acting skills, and he can come up with ideas in just a second thought. He took many people to visit the Japanese consulate in Fengtian. Although the Japanese have always looked down on Chinese soldiers, they were still timid towards Zhang Zuolin himself. Lao Zhang came over menacingly with a powerful machine gun, and the guards, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, closed the door and urgently reported to Consul Yoshida Shigeru.
Yoshida Shigeru is an old friend of Zhang Zuolin. He is well aware of Zhang Zuolin's characteristics of being rough on the outside and delicate on the inside. He was surprised when he heard about it and walked out quickly. He ignored the numerous soldiers and said to Zhang Zuolin, both jokingly and somewhat seriously: "The commander-in-chief is here in person. With such a layout, I thought Yoshida had offended the commander-in-chief somewhere and wanted to destroy the consulate."
It is impossible to flatten the consulate. No matter how awesome Lao Zhang is, he will not seek death. That is a formal declaration of war. However, Lao Zhang's momentum remained intact. He looked at Yoshida and said calmly: "I don't know if Mr. Consul knows that someone wants the lives of my father and son! I hope Mr. Yoshida doesn't know about this, otherwise, This is the end of our exchange between you and me. Whether we will meet in arms or not depends entirely on Mr. Consul's decision." He put on a dead-end attitude and crossed his hands angrily. In the distance, Fengjun had set up machine guns behind the infantry crowd, and the situation was not so optimistic.
Yoshida Shigeru was surprised. He looked at Zhang Zuolin: "Why did you say that?" This is true. The instructions he received from the country were to maintain a good relationship with Zhang Zuolin and prepare to support him as Japan's agent in Northeast China. Haven't heard of any changes.
Zhang Zuolin's anger did not change: "This is strange! My little six was attacked by a group of Japanese soldiers of unknown origin in Zhengjiatun. Not only was he injured, but dozens of soldiers were bleeding on the spot. You know, the place where the incident happened was in our Guards Brigade. There are thousands of officers and soldiers at the regiment headquarters. This group of people rushed into our headquarters in a big way and shot my son directly. I wonder what the relationship between Xiao Liuzi and you is, and you want to kill him?"
It’s hard to answer this. I haven’t received the report yet. But he knew Zhang Hanqing, and his provocative speech at Fengtian Station deeply shocked him. The officers in the Kanto Governor's Office should also know about it. It's hard to say whether these people are responsible for it, but these lawless soldiers don't know what politics is. If what Zhang Zuolin said is true - the attack on the young marshal should be true, otherwise Lao Zhang would not be so angry - it is necessary to report this matter to the country.
He immediately looked pitiful and asked hypocritically: "This is happening! How is the young marshal's injury?" This is the essence of "Don't ask about the horse" in the Analects of Confucius. (The stables are burning. Confucius said: Is it hurting people? Don’t ask about the horses.)
Zhang Zuolin also looked frightened and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, there were guards who blocked him. They were only slightly injured and frightened. However, several of the guards died on the spot - how much hatred is there?" How could he be so ruthless! The assassination of Mr. Zhang a few months ago has never been so dangerous!"
When he mentioned the assassination incident, Yoshida Shigeru felt a little embarrassed. What he did was a bit unethical, and he had tacitly approved it. Lao Zhang brought up old things again, and when he thought of Zhang Hanqing this time, he was 80% sure that the military was acting secretly again.
Fengtian is still inseparable from this person. Thinking of this, Shigeru Yoshida said kindly: "Commander, there is no need to doubt the support of the Japanese Empire for the commander. We have the same respect for the commander, but it is inevitable that there are some black sheep who want to influence the relationship between us. We have a good relationship with you, so please don’t worry. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and prevent it from happening again.”
From beginning to end, Zhang Zuolin never mentioned the casualties of the Japanese army. If he knew the heavy losses suffered by the Japanese army, only God knows whether he would still talk in such a soothing tone. However, he was preoccupied and believed that the fault lay with Japan, but he was just unwilling to admit it.
The situation still took a turn for the worse: two days later, a large number of Japanese troops entered Zhengjiatun and demanded Chinese instructions by name.The official was punished and the murderer was handed over. The commotion became known to everyone, and even the central government of Beiyang was under pressure. It's just that the Japanese soldiers rushed into the Chinese army regiment command post and shot and killed the Chinese soldiers. It was always unreasonable and unreasonable. It is true that the government is afraid of the Japanese, but it cannot openly protect the Japanese. After all, the country still has face.
The magistrate of Liaoyuan County belonged to Zhang Zuolin. The young marshal made a mistake, and the local officials only came out to cover up the matter. He was ordered to go to the Japanese military camp to express condolences in person, but was detained.
"This is a bit too much. You have beaten me, but now even the civil servants are going to attack. How can we continue to negotiate this case?" Things must come to an end, right? Even Yoshida felt that what he had done was unethical: he had killed many soldiers, but it was not morally justified. How could these imperial soldiers be so stupid!
As a representative, Yoshida made several requests to Zhang Zuolin to deal with the aftermath, which were also made at the request of the military: punish the officers and soldiers responsible for the accident, set up Japanese police stations in southern Manchuria and eastern Mongolia, hire Japanese as military advisers and instructors, and deal with the dead and injured. The Japanese soldiers and their families were provided with considerable pensions, and the Fengtian Governor had to go to the Kanto Governor's Mansion and the Japanese Consulate General in Fengtian to apologize in person.
Everything else is easy to say. Even if you apologize personally, you can bear it. Isn’t it just a face? Who hasn’t been bullied by the Japanese? But if you want to punish Zhang Hanqing as the eldest son, let’s forget it! No matter how open-minded Zhang Zuolin is, he will not be in trouble with himself. He looked at Yoshida and asked with a smile on his face: "Mr. Consul, I don't know how to punish the officers and soldiers who caused the accident? Kill or cut into pieces? How about I take my little boy to the Japanese military camp and show him in front of him before he recovers from his injuries?" In front of everyone, one shot killed him?!"
He questioned Yoshida Shigeru fiercely, and the true colors of his beard came to life: "The Japanese protected the members of the Zongshe Party who assassinated me, Lao Zhang, and directly led (Captain Qingyi Shengmin was the chief culprit) the Qinwang Restoration Army to counterattack Fengjun , and now they are sending troops to attack our headquarters, what are their intentions? Do you want to replace me, Lao Zhang?!"
"If this is the consul's intention, Zhang will immediately resign his official uniform to the central government and lead the 27th Division back to the mountains to let your country support those who it believes are capable!"
Luocao is the worst plan and the last trump card: for the sake of his son, he will not hesitate to fall out with the Japanese!
Yoshida knows that punishing the young marshal will definitely not work - the old Zhang who protects his shortcomings may really fall out. He has been entrenched in Fengtian for many years, and Fengtian is the most important place in Northeast China in terms of geography, economy, population, resources, etc. A corrupt Fengtian is not what the previous policy envisioned, and this risk is not worth taking.
Therefore, although the Japanese military also tried hard to build momentum for him and had the idea of ??"going straight to Fengtian" in an attempt to put pressure on Zhang Zuolin. Yoshida Shigeru still believed that it was not appropriate to fight Zhang Zuolin at this time, and the military's response was very rude and ignorant: no matter what, using force to attack the opponent's military camp itself brings political risks and is very irresponsible. He suggested suppressing this formulation and reporting back to the country that Zhang Hanqing could not be held accountable, so as to resolve the matter.
Facing Zhang Zuolin, who wanted to fight to the death, Yoshida Shigeru could not help but feel stagnant. In the meantime, due to changes in Japan's policy towards China, the Japanese government has decided to still support Zhang Zuolin. Therefore, the Japanese Military Department urgently instructed the Japanese Manchurian Military Department to ease relations with Zhang Zuolin. Under this situation, as an abandoned son, the "King Qin Army" was ordered to disband - there was no need for their existence; the Dalian branch of the Zongshe Party also disintegrated, and the second Manchukuo movement failed.
However, due protest was still necessary. In view of the toughness of the Japanese minister in China, the central government asked Wu Junsheng, who was present, to apologize to the Japanese and compensate for the losses. The reason was that he was the highest-ranked Chinese officer present (lieutenant general). ), bear an unshirkable responsibility.
Now Lao Wu fainted: What a fool, it turns out that the Central Committee is as weak as Japan. Zhang Zuolin is strong, but whatever his son caused falls on me! The same goes for the Japanese. They have lost face, and the rightful master does not dare to offend them. They want to pinch the soft persimmons. This is all caused by those who have no power!
There is no other way, who will let him become a high official? The blame has been laid! Damn it, everyone knows that I can't control Xiao Zhang's soldiers at all! Privately, Zhang Zuolin also found Wu Junsheng and asked him to come forward to quell the matter, and promised to help him get on the horse when there was an opportunity in the future. One, Lao Wu, was forced by the pressure of the central government, and the two, because of their feelings, swallowed their anger and represented Fengtian. The Central Government apologized to the Japanese and compensated the Japanese soldiers 5,000 yuan for the loss of each corpse. Even the Japanese businessman Yoshimoto also received 500 yuan in compensation, and the matter was settled. Of course, Zhang Zuolin didn't feel bad at all for the money.
In view of the Japanese dispatching heavy troops to Zhengjiatun, Zhang Hanqing obtained Zhang Zuolin's consent and released Han Linchun's regiment here. This move not only ensured the safety of Zhengjiatun, but also blocked Japan's westward advance into Mongolia. It also had the intention of penetrating into Jilin.
The Japanese military officer found Han Linchun and questioned his purpose of garrisoning troops. He said that there was no need for Chinese troops to garrison since the Japanese troops were here. Han Linchun replied proudly: "Zhengjiatun is the natal home of the young marshal's wife. The young marshal is worried about the resurgence of bandits, so he has the obligation to protect his family."
During the battle against bandits, the "student army" came to the fore and gave those who had been ridiculing the useless theory a heavy slap in the face. The young marshal Zhang Hanqing showed his talents for the first time and was known as the "Ruhu", becoming a rising star within Fengjun. His heroic feat of daring to fire on the Japanese troops was widely reported in the country and was widely reported. It also greatly shocked the Japanese troops in Fengtian Province and made them behave much better on the territory where the Guard Brigade operated.

One will make all bones dry. While the battle against bandits made Zhang Hanqing famous, nearly a hundred comrades from the Guard Brigade were also laid to rest in this hot land.
The combat effectiveness of the army lies not only in training, but also in a heartfelt sense of mission and honor, all of which have not been found in the Chinese army in the past dynasties. A good man should not be a soldier, and a good man should not hammer nails. The traditional concept makes serving as a soldier and eating the royal rations just a means of making a living. Naturally, it is a common problem for officers and soldiers to save their lives during war and to make money in peacetime. It is the right thing to drink the blood of soldiers and harass the place.
Zhang Hanqing wants to fundamentally solve this problem. In addition to letting them understand "why they fight" mentally, he also wants to do everything possible to reduce their worries. That is, giving them dignity when they are alive, and giving comfort to their families after they are killed. Modern countries have relatively outstanding preferential treatment for military personnel, such as military seats for ticket purchase and the state's care for the families of fallen soldiers.
Zhang Hanqing decided to improve the treatment for the wounded and disabled officers and soldiers. He, Wang Yizhe and others held a meeting to properly arrange their funeral arrangements, and used this as the basis for building the army in the future.
Families are consulted on the disposal of the remains of all fallen soldiers. If they intend to return to their hometown for burial, the Guard Brigade will arrange a special convoy to send the coffin back to their hometown, striving to make a huge impact, and the expenses will be borne by the Guard Brigade; the Guard Brigade also built a cemetery on the grassland. To commemorate those martyrs who are homeless or unable to return to their hometowns. As for disabled soldiers, those who can continue to stay in the army will serve as propaganda cadres. Those who are unable to undertake the task will be arranged to guard the mausoleum on the spot, or they will be paid severance pay and disability subsidies and return to their hometowns according to their own wishes.
Of course, they will not be allowed to go back alone like this. At least four soldiers and a carriage will be sent to escort him back to his hometown to ensure a high profile. Zhang Hanqing also arranged for thousands of golden medals to be engraved and hundreds of certificates to be printed on a starry night, as the qualifications of the meritorious personnel in this battle and as proof of discharge for disabled soldiers. Money was tight, so he came up with this method of replacing material things with spiritual rewards. In his plan and propaganda, in the future, the civil affairs department will provide corresponding subsidies for such disability certificates, but this is not yet available.
??For those who have made meritorious services this time, the best ten will be selected and each will be escorted by a squad of officers and soldiers back to their hometown to parade around the streets, and the county and township elders will be arranged to give them a strong performance in order to achieve glory.
“It cannot be said that this is not a genius idea, at least the officers and soldiers of the whole brigade are happy with it. Those soldiers who were draped in red and hung with flowers showed their faces in front of the people in their hometown for the first time, and cherished the honors they received; those injured officers and soldiers were no longer ridiculed as waste like other armies but went back to the war. , the fear of the future has been greatly alleviated; because of the extraordinary courtesy of the families of those fallen soldiers - in the past, they were really wrapped in horse leather or even with no bones left - the Guard Brigade not only made proper arrangements for their funerals, but also A mass rally was held under the arrangement of the local government. They highly praised their contribution to the country and organized a memorial ceremony. The army also promised not to forget the merits of the martyrs and to provide certain care according to the policy when conditions improve. Ease their pain of losing their loved ones.
"The care for the deceased is for the living to see. Zhang Hanqing's actions at least won the praise of the Guard Brigade and his family. For the first time, ordinary people felt that joining the army was not undesirable. As an honorable profession, the military began to have a certain appeal to many young people who were dissatisfied with today's society. The most touching thing is that while the resettlement work of the Guard Brigade's casualties has spread across almost the whole province, thousands of young people of school age have nominated themselves to join the Guard Brigade, including many relatives of martyrs.
After a great victory, it’s time to return home in glory. In Fengtian City, some people looked forward to it, while others looked at it coldly. The one who looked forward to it was Yu Feng's arrival, and a wife longed for her husband's return, which was human nature; the one who looked coldly was Feng Delin, the leader of the Guard Brigade, which made him restless. A twenty-seventh division is already enough to give him a headache, plus a guard brigade capable of fighting, wouldn't it be fatal?
No, this team must be dismantled! At the banquet held by the Governor's Mansion and the Provincial Government to honor Zhang Hanqing and others, Feng Delin rarely attended and personally held a cup for Zhang Hanqing. During the banquet, he confided in his heart: "Hanqing's great nephew! I haven't seen you in half a year, and he is even more elegant than before! Guard Brigade Being able to lead a group of student soldiers to defeat the stubborn bandits was something that my uncle did not expect and it is a great blessing. At a time when the country is employing people, my uncle can guarantee that Hanqing's nephew can take on greater responsibilities in the 27th Division. A real person The well-deserved brigade commander cannot run away!”
Lao Feng, who had always been at odds with Zhang Zuolin, suddenly offered him an olive branch in a big way. This surprised the Fengtian military and political officials, but Zhang Zuolin frowned. Old Feng had an ulterior motive in trying his best to let Han Qing join the 27th Division: several important positions in the army were already occupied by old men from Fengjun, and there was really no room for maneuver. If he asked these old men to make way for him, he would be in trouble. Everyone's heart; Old Feng is afraid that he will make trouble with the Guard Brigade again!
Sure enough, what Feng Delin said??Another twist: "The student army is doing a great job in fighting, but we old men in the army are going to be embarrassed! It is not easy for the country to train student talents, so it is better to put what we have learned into practice, and leave the fighting to us old men." Well. Besides, Fengtian’s finances can’t support so many people. I think it’s better to ask the central government to grant a title if there is a chance. The burden on the people of Fengtian is too heavy!”
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? By the fifth year of the Republic of China, the Beiyang government had organized a total of 16 reorganized divisions, all of which were built according to the German organization with great efforts. In the early Republic of China when the country's economic capacity was not enough to support more troops, it was basically impossible for other local troops to take advantage of the central government's finances. Zhang Hanqing's Guard Brigade was built by Lao Zhang with a few dollars saved from his teeth, and the bulk of the arms were obtained from President Yuan's treasury. Otherwise, with Fengtian's current financial strength, how could it be possible to build such a large-scale Guard Brigade so quickly?
Of course, Lao Zhang also spent a lot of money: apart from some difficulties with cannons, in order to meet the firepower needs of suppressing bandits, he appropriated a small part of the mountain artillery of the 27th Division Artillery Regiment and equipped it with a basic artillery battery. The other structures are really not good. Lost to Beiyang's elite 27th Division. In addition, as the direct line of the Marshal's direct line, the special operations brigade's heavy machine gun establishment is specially approved. According to the standard of an infantry regiment, an attached machine gun company with 6 machines is equipped. The entire 27th Division is only equipped with 26 machines (the other two are cavalry). regiment), and then used firepower to knock down the arrogance of the Pakistani bandits in the battle against bandits. For this reason, Lao Zhang also spent money to purchase a new 14-inch Maxim made in the UK and 2 French-made Hutchison. Not only did Feng Delin remember this, but some people within the 27th Division also secretly slandered him, saying that the commander was partial and used public money to take private jobs. But it seems normal to Lao Zhang. They are all troops under his command. (Zhang Zuolin: How can I not be partial to my son?)
"Please order the central government to ban the title" sounds nice, but in fact everyone knows it is impossible. The key point is to use the excuse that "the burden on the people of Fengtian is too heavy" to general Zhang Zuolin. If Lao Zhang doesn't catch the ball, Lao Feng will definitely form an army on his own and also reach out to Fengtian's finance - why can you do it and I can't? At that time, we would never think about "the burden on the people of Fengtian is too heavy", but "this is only fair!"
Zhang Hanqing quickly replied: "The student army became famous in one battle. Hanqing believes that there are not too many educated people in our army, but too few. Why can't students join the army? It is everyone's responsibility to protect the family and the country. In ancient times, there was a class leader We moderns can't lose to the ancients no matter what we do, right?
As for the financial burden, I, Zhang Hanqing, have told the military governor before, and I can also responsibly tell you here that since the Guard Brigade is not included in the army of the Republic of China, naturally it will not use a penny from Fengtian's finance to supplement military pay! I just need a place to station, train and raise troops. "
Those who heard this were shocked, and Zhang Zuolin was also shocked: "Xiao Liuzi is talking nonsense! I thought he was angry when he said that the Guards Brigade does not need a penny from the finance department. How can such a military order be issued on such an occasion? Just rely on the Guards Brigade. The military merits of the brigade, after all, the law is nothing more than human relationships, and I can deal with Feng Delin no matter how much he challenges me. But as soon as Feng Delin said this, if Feng Delin does not block the financial aspect, I, Lao Zhang, will write it backwards!"
Feng Delin also smiled. He said sarcastically: "No matter how literate the students are, no matter how good they are in fighting, they still need to eat, right? Since Han Qing can understand the suffering of Fengtian, of course my uncle is very pleased." He looked at Zhang Zuolin with pride and said maliciously Thinking: "It is not difficult for you to spend a little bit of money from Fengtian's finances, but to support an army of 10,000 people, it cannot be done with sporadic financial supplies. What will you do then? If you dare to secretly move the army Hands and feet, even if you are the governor and governor of the province, I am sure that you will be able to swallow them all!"
Once the words were spoken, Zhang Hanqing was fearless: "Our student army is not only literate, can fight, but can also cultivate wasteland! The land in northern Liaoning was looted by bandits and was fortunately recovered by the Guard Brigade. Fengtian's finances are insufficient, and we We will not reach out to embarrass the government, but the Guard Brigade is also a human being and needs to eat. The border areas of Fengji, Kyrgyzstan, and Mongolia are vast and sparsely populated, and the Guard Brigade will use these ownerless lands to reclaim wasteland to feed this army."
He has already thought about it and has been planning for this for a long time. There is no room for development around Fengtian, and the area in northern Liaoning is still considered an "unclaimed land" with great potential. Moreover, the Japanese are also infiltrating here. By stationing the Guard Brigade here, they can not only cultivate the fields and raise troops, but also prevent them from forming a sphere of influence in the inner Mongolia. They can also break away from the influence of the Feng Clan. They no longer have to look down upon the old Feng Army. It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone. have to.
But you can’t start from scratch. Whether it’s opening up wasteland for farming, selling land according to your own ideas, collecting rent, or collecting local taxes, it won’t be possible in a hurry. You know, the Guard Brigade with more than 10,000 mouths must chew food at dawn. This has nothing to do with faith, but is a physical instinct. Doctrine cannot be eaten as food. Zhang Hanqing understands this truth. The Guards Brigade are all young and strong young men with big appetites. In addition to training, not to mention military expenses, each person consumes no less than half a catty of rice and sorghum a day, not to mention the monthly allowance. There are also weapon consumption and so on. Even if you don't train troops, you still need the equipment to open up wasteland.
He proposed that a buffer period is needed.
Feng Delin stood up in response: "Okay! I wonder when Han Qing is going to start?"
Zhang Hanqing said loudly: "From October onwards, the Guard Brigade will not need to spend a penny from Fengtian Province's finances!" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com), as well as weapon consumption, etc. Even if you don't train troops, you still need the equipment to open up wasteland.

Chapter 181 Pillow style
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing dared to say this with absolute confidence, and he came to the conclusion after detailed observation and careful consideration with the senior leaders of the Guard Brigade.
Lao Feng was sure to defeat Lao Zhang, and Zhang Zuolin had no intention of supporting him. After all, he was checkmate in public. No matter what we do in the future, the top priority is to provide food for the Guards Brigade. As for Xiao Zhang, apart from the pitiful monthly allowance from the Marshal's office and his meager personal salary, where can he get money?
Fortunately, Xiao Zhang has a reserve army, and this reserve army is his wife’s natal family.
Yu Fengzhi's natal family is one of the top merchants in Fengtian. If she can get some funding in advance to survive the most difficult first few months, and wait until the autumn grain, especially the next summer grain, is available, according to the plan, as long as the turnover can be expanded, everything should be Not a problem.
He has already done Yu Fengzhi’s work in advance. This work was done on the bed. Let’s define it as “pillow style”.
Yu Fengzhi has been married to the Zhang family for less than two weeks, and she can be said to be a complete bride. However, because Zhang Zuolin did not have time to take care of the commander's mansion, Zhang Hanqing was away with troops, and the brothers-in-law were young, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, Yu Fengzhi stepped into the role without hesitation.
My father-in-law has six wives and concubines, and they live at home. Naturally, everyone is a bit dirty in their daily lives. Fortunately, Yu Fengzhi was deeply respected by Zhang Zuolin, came from a wealthy family, and was the head of the Marshal's Mansion appointed by Zhang Zuolin, so he could still handle some things.
The person she gets along with the most is Fifth Mother Shouyi, who sincerely cares for the Marshal's house; she dislikes Sanniang Dai Xianyu the least, and feels a bit disrespectful to the servants - of course she is still very polite to herself. There were many things that I didn't understand, so I discussed them with Mrs. Shou.
To Zhang Hanqing, she was not at all casual. Although he is three or four years younger than her, he is her husband and her God after all. She was happy and worried that her husband was in love with her, and she was afraid that his young body would not be able to bear it; her husband left home to lead the army, and she was also worried, fearing that something might happen to him or that his health would be broken by exposure to food and dew, but her husband was ambitious in all directions. She couldn't hold back, so she could only silently pray for him every night. Naturally, she was overjoyed when her husband came back from a meritorious service.
Xiaobei is a new wedding. Zhang Hanqing was young and came with a mission. Naturally, his hard work made Yu Fengzhi feel relieved from the bottom of his heart. He wished he could transform and throw herself at his side, so he naturally gave in to Cheng Huan. After the love deepened, Zhang Hanqing put his arms around Fengzhi's neck and whispered in her ear: "Honey, I have encountered a problem."
This title is Zhang Hanqing’s original creation. Historically, Zhang Xueliang was called "eldest sister". It was so cordial, but it lacked the intimacy between husband and wife. Calling her "Niangzi" is too dramatic, and I feel uncomfortable with calling her by her name, as I am still quite young. Calling her "Sister Feng" reminds me of a famous figure in history, which will cause sexual desire to subside, so it is better to call her my wife. Yu Fengzhi was not used to it at first. She always felt like she was being called old. But Zhang Hanqing shamelessly called himself wife during the wedding night, and even forced himself to call her "husband". After a few days, she felt a lot more cordial.
But people of that era were still very reserved. Outside, Zhang Hanqing was still called eldest sister. Of course, when no one was around, when close contact was needed, and when someone asked for something, that is, when discussing something, she would always call her "wife."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Of course, my husband is very concerned when he confides his feelings to her. She also stroked Zhang Hanqing's head: After all, he is only a sixteen-year-old boy. It is said that he leads tens of thousands of soldiers, but he doesn't know how much he has suffered in daily life? The two people are very close to each other, and their hearts are naturally close to each other.
"What's the problem? You are a famous young marshal in Fengtian! You have made great achievements just now. Do you know that now the news has spread all over the streets and alleys of Fengtian, and all the girls and wives want to see you." She said this Cheer him up.
Zhang Hanqing sighed softly and said: "What young marshal? In the eyes of others, I am a young marshal, and I stick to my word. Do you know my father's great enemy Feng Delin? He is just watching from the side, trying to take advantage of me. Isn't he here to trip up my father?" Where are you! The Guards Brigade has indeed meritorious service, but you don’t know that I use this untrained army to suppress the bandits just to make a living. I estimate that Fengtian military and political affairs will hold a meeting in a few days to discuss the merits of suppressing bandits. Feng Delin He will definitely talk about the abolition of the Guard Brigade! Speaking of the fact that the Guard Brigade is eating up the finances of Fengtian Province, he is right to be dissatisfied. After all, he and my father have political disputes. But I am reluctant to give up the army I built with my own hands. Moreover, the war is now in chaos, and the central and local governments are fighting with each other. If we don’t have the strength, we won’t have a strong voice in the future.”
Although Yu Fengzhi had never been involved in major military and political affairs, he generally understood the situation in Fengtian. Seeing what Zhang Hanqing said was so serious, he felt anxious: "I heard that Feng Delin and my father-in-law have been in a tense situation recently, but both sides have a division of troops, so there won't be any big conflict between them for a while. Husband, please take care of me more."As a unit, we are stronger than him, and we can definitely defeat him in a battle. "
Zhang Hanqing smiled slightly and said in his heart: "This is not how military settlements are settled." But he said: "Yes."
"But Feng Delin will definitely take issue with my Guard Brigade, and he will definitely strangle my financial neck. He has said before that Fengtian's finances cannot be used to support other than the two garrison divisions in Fengtian. army. If my father did not agree to abolish the Guard Brigade, he once said that he would also recruit officers and soldiers to fight in the ring."
Yu Fengzhi naturally faced the Zhang family: "That's not fair. We have already built the Guard Brigade, and I heard that it was the money given by President Yuan at that time. He had the ability to build an army by himself, and then everyone asked Fengtian Financial support!" Women are all emotional, and there are many things that don't make sense. Anyway, any conflict with your dear husband is someone else's fault.
Zhang Hanqing said with a wry smile: "The problem is that he has to pay a monthly fee like the Guard Brigade. We are in the wrong when it comes to this matter, so my father has always been at a disadvantage when arguing with him. I guess he will soon. If you ask my father for money, just use the monthly support from the Guard Brigade! In fact, it’s nothing to give him. He will definitely not be able to recruit so many people in the short term. The key is that Fengtian has no money now! "
"The Guards Brigade has nearly 8,000 people at full capacity. Based on a ration of two kilograms per person per day, the consumption is 500,000 kilograms per month. Now the average rice is 6 yuan per stone, calculated at 178 kilograms per stone, which is 3.4 cents per catty. Consider it. Taking into account regional differences and year differences, it is more reasonable to calculate it at 4 cents per catty. The situation is similar for wheat. The wholesale price of wheat is an average of 4 yuan/100 catties, which is 4 cents per catty. The ration alone costs 20,000 yuan per month. ."
"The military expenditure for soldiers is one ocean per month, which cannot be less. In addition, after all, if a heavy laborer is not at home, their families also need to eat and drink. In this way, it costs more than ten thousand oceans per month. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade are equal. At present, military expenditures for officers are not much higher.”
"Considering that the weather is getting colder and the troops have not yet purchased winter clothing, this is also a huge expense. It is probably impossible to do it for less than 30,000 yuan."
"There is still one month left before the autumn harvest. I am planning to make some big moves before and after the autumn harvest, which can later ease my financial pressure. But at first, I can't get away with 70,000 yuan a month. This is what I am worried about."
Yu Fengzhi fell into deep thought. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 182 A multi-pronged approach
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing felt that he had a chance. This was the result he wanted. He cheered: "Actually, the preliminary work of the Guard Brigade has been completed, and now it is just the monthly maintenance cost. I have a plan, which is to take advantage of the current stability inside and outside the customs. Half the army and half the farmland are used to support the army. There is fertile land along the east and west Liao Rivers that can be cultivated. It is geographically located at the junction of the three provinces of Jimeng and Fengcheng. It is also under the direct control of the Guards Brigade, so it can do a lot. : Using land to raise an army has a bright future. As long as I cultivate some fields, I estimate that one hundred and two hundred thousand acres of fertile land will be no problem. If I sell them at the right time, I won’t worry about not being able to support the army. The problem is that in this early stage, I There’s really no money to support it.”
During this period, the annual cost of maintaining an army division was about 1.3 million, and the Guards Brigade was more than half the size of a division. It seems that he was already economical enough.
Yu Fengzhi also knew her husband's difficulties. After thinking about it for a while, he asked: "If it is an emergency, I can make up 70,000 to 80,000 cash from my dowry, but there will be no monthly expenses in the future. There is profit from reclaiming wasteland." If it’s not a matter of a day or two, it’s this year’s autumn grain. How can you profit from it? You can’t just grab it with a gun, right?”
Zhang Hanqing has actually been looking forward to this moment for a long time, but he still pretends to be shy and grateful, shaking his head and saying: "How can this be done? I can't use your dowry money no matter what!"
Yu Fengzhi made a gentle gesture: "Since we are husband and wife, why do we need to divide what is yours and mine? But what will we do next? Do you have a good idea?"
Zhang Hanqing had already made up his mind, and he slowly made a calculation about his wife's belly.
"Northern Liaoning is vast and sparsely populated, and there is no shortage of water. The Guard Brigade's organized military reclamation will be far more efficient than ordinary farmers. Furthermore, our main purpose is not to cultivate wasteland, but to prepare and sell land, so we think that in the short term, we will One hundred thousand acres of wasteland is guaranteed. In the long run, another two to three hundred thousand acres will not be a problem. Even if it is one hundred thousand acres, at the price of two yuan per mu, two hundred thousand yuan can be used to deal with four Months are feasible.
“I have applied to the Military Governor’s Office to use Xinmin County as the supply base of the Guard Brigade and conduct pilot rural land reform here. I have absolute authority to carry out relevant actions here. In the early days, I mainly collected taxes - even if I draw one out of ten, I can get at least one million kilograms of grain after the summer harvest from the 500,000 acres of farmland in the county, which is enough for me to spend nearly three months. . But military pay may be delayed for a while.
The Northeast is a vast land with abundant resources, but the way to make money is actually more than just farming? A few days ago, Lao Mo told me that Fushun Coal Mine has been successfully put into operation. Now that the weather is getting colder, there is an urgent need in the customs and the market has been opened. However, the Japanese have occupied the South Manchuria Railway and refused to allow transportation. How to transport it out is a big problem. . The Guards Brigade has a cavalry regiment, and more than 2,000 horses were obtained from these bandit suppressions. If a transportation brigade is formed, it will not only relieve the urgent needs of the industrial community, but also earn part of the freight to subsidize the military.
There are many students in the Guard Brigade now. Wouldn’t it be a pity if their intelligence and talents were buried? I plan to set up some military factories, such as quilt factories, toothpaste factories, etc. to manufacture some daily necessities, and expand the brigade ordnance maintenance station into an agricultural tool processing factory to manufacture some agricultural tools necessary for military and agricultural reclamation, etc., which can not only support their self-sufficiency, but also By supporting land reclamation, wouldn’t we be able to kill two birds with one stone?
There are also engineers and soldiers. We already have an engineer company. I plan to transfer some of the officers and soldiers here to set up an engineer battalion and build water conservancy facilities and roads after training. This will not only provide long-term protection for land reclamation, but also reasonably obtain some financial subsidies. ——The road has to be repaired anyway, so it would be better to give it to the engineering battalion. "
After all this rambling, there are really many ways to make money. No wonder the great men of later generations once said a famous saying, “There is strength in numbers,” and this statement is indeed true. Influenced by him, Yu Fengzhi also felt that he could survive this crisis if he worked hard. The key is that Yu Fengzhi, who has consciously integrated into the Zhang family, also understood the importance of military power to the Zhang family and had to help her husband through this crisis no matter what. close. She finally decided, "If it doesn't work out, I'll go directly back to my parents' house to ask for help. My mother still values ??you as her son-in-law, and I don't want to see you suffer."
Having solved the big problem, Zhang Hanqing naturally took advantage of the excitement and consolidated his power again. Only a few days later, he made an astonishing move at the Fengtian Military and Political Conference.
Thinking that I have military power, but have not yet made any achievements in administration, it is time to reduce the number of combat personnel in the Guard Brigade and change military positions to civilian positions. This will not waste those educated student soldiers and reduce the attention of all parties, but also can It helped with subsequent administrative matters.
He hit it off with Guo Songling, Han Linchun, Wang Yizhe and other like-minded people. He originally wanted to start land reform, party building and land reclamation after Zhang Zuolin was appointed. After persuading Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Hanqing placed the entire guard brigade on the border of Fengji. Feng Delin from Fengtian City made excuses for the Guard Brigade from time to time, so there was no point in returning to the city. Zhang Hanqing is determined to lighten Nai's father's burdenTaking responsibility also fulfilled his promise. After October, he really stopped drawing military pay from Fengtian and became self-reliant.
Officers and soldiers with certain cultural literacy in the Guard Brigade were mobilized as the backbone to form thirty land reform work teams and were trained by Guo Songling to prepare for the epoch-making challenge. In China, controlling the countryside means controlling the country. A team with practical experience in working with farmers is the cornerstone of future leadership.
All activists willing to work for the welfare of the people were enriched into Wang Yizhe's teaching group, and Wang Yizhe began to explain the "Party Founding Program of the Chinese People's Party" compiled by Zhang Hanqing. As expected, the backbone of the future People's Party of China was born from here.
After the various departments were transferred, the original establishment was disrupted. Zhang Hanqing simply retained three newly organized regiments based on the remaining numbers as the main force of the Guard Brigade, together with the newly established cavalry battalion, engineer battalion, artillery battalion, communications company and other forces directly under the brigade headquarters, as seeds.
Han Linchun is responsible for the training of the entire brigade, that is, maintaining combat effectiveness; Guo Songling is responsible for the logistics and support of the entire brigade, that is, controlling the money bag; Wang Yizhe is responsible for the ideological education of the entire brigade, that is, straightening the neck.
I promised to be self-sufficient and not ask for a penny from the Fengtian government. It’s time to fulfill my promise:
The work team is considered to be engaged in politics, so it draws a meager portion from the Xinmin County Government's finances as a subsidy;
The cavalry battalion was led by Wang Wensheng, and together with the baggage battalion and some of the "transported" infantry, a new "Transportation Brigade" was established. Wang Wensheng also served as the head of this brigade. As a new force in the transportation of coal mines in Fushun, they used horse-drawn carts to pull them and opened up a "road" to continuously transport coal to Fengtian Railway Station, and then transported it to Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and other places through the Beijing-Fengcheng Line. Due to high quality and low price, sales are very good. Several major shareholders made a lot of money, made additional investments, and made a big advertisement for Fengtian's investment. Of course, the military expenditure and daily supply problems for nearly 3,000 people have been completely solved, and there is still a lot of surplus.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Kangping, Changtu, Shuangliao and other places are directly under the jurisdiction of the Guard Brigade. Anyway, everything is fine now. Dad will still be worried about Feng Delin when he returns to the city, so he might as well clear up the wasteland. When the scale increases, the land will be sold to those who need it, and the expenses will be used as military expenses. Isn’t this what the 359th Brigade was like in history?

??????????????????????????????? But it’s embarrassing to always worry about the property of my wife’s family. Zhang Hanqing is still thinking about having three wives and four concubines in the future. If the financial power is in the hands of his wife, won’t the confidence to take concubines be gone? Moreover, using your own money to support the country's soldiers, even though they are private soldiers, is not cost-effective. It would be great if I could get a bunch of tickets, such as winning a lottery, or simply having pie in the sky, as long as I didn't have to pay them back.
No need to pay it back?
There is one!
I remember before time travel, when the huge Soviet Union collapsed, the value of the ruble continued to drop to 30,000 times. At that time, I thought that if I borrowed a huge sum of money before the Soviet Union collapsed, I would do nothing and just wait for it to collapse. . The reason why this impression is profound is that Russia, which later replaced it, announced the issuance of a new ruble at a ratio of 1 to 1,000 old rubles. As a result, the original millionaire (old ruble) became a pauper with only 35 US dollars overnight. .
Now Russia has just had a "February Revolution", and the ruble is constantly depreciating, but at least there is still a provisional government, and the bourgeoisie is ostensibly leading Russia with the support of the Soviet regime. People who don't understand history, Little did they know that just eight months later Russia would undergo earth-shaking changes.
Is there any chance to borrow some money from them to spend? The conditions are easy to talk about, and you won’t have to pay much money back anyway, because the old rubles were invalidated after the establishment of the Soviet Union. At most, I can buy some old rubles from the market at the price of souvenirs and pay you back. Russia has a Dosheng Bank in the Northeast. They probably don't know the domestic situation as well as they do, right?
The full name of this bank is the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank. It was originally a joint venture with the Qing government with more than 60% investment from France, but the control rights were in the hands of Russia. It was the first and only "joint venture" bank of the Qing government in China - ——The Qing government invested 5 million taels of silver (7.56 million rubles), and the Russian and French capital contributed 6 million rubles. Like other Western financial institutions, it was established to secure various railway construction contracts with China and to manipulate and control China's railway construction. Historically, in 1926, its Paris head office was liquidated due to the failure of foreign exchange speculation. All its branches in China closed down and the banknotes it issued became waste paper. As a result, countless Chinese people went bankrupt and owed the Chinese government huge amounts of public funds.
Since the Soviet Union was able to nationalize its head office in Russia after the October Revolution, why can’t I make a fortune at this time?
This is a good idea. Zhang Hanqing went to Zhang Zuolin excitedly, hoping that he could guarantee him and borrow some money from Daosheng Bank. Dad is a military governor, so his words are much more effective than a nobody like me.
He proposed to Zhang Zuolin: Lao Zhang would try to act as a guarantee and secure a large loan. Part of it would be used as a deposit for the Guard Brigade, and the rest would be used as an investment by Fengtian Investment Promotion Bureau. Zhang Zuolin knew about his son's financial difficulties and had long been determined to do something for him. He had no worries about the loan - I owed a lot of debt and didn't care about paying more. It was just that Zhang Hanqing asked for the loan from Daosheng Bank by name, and believed that Russia might undergo major changes and that he would not have to repay the money in the future, which made Zhang Zuolin a little sad.
Poor child, he must have been driven crazy and insane, right? I also know that borrowing money from Japanese people depends on their appearance, so I don’t want to embarrass me about my own affairs! However, the Russians' money is easy to borrow, but if you want to default on it, forget it. The Russians are more ruthless than the Japanese. I have never defaulted on borrowing money for so many years. It's not that I don't want to, but I really don't dare! At worst, the money will be lost in the end, and the son will have to repay the debt to the father in the future.
Daosheng Bank has more than a dozen branches in the Northeast. As a big city like Fengtian, it is inevitable. When Zhang Zuolin asked him for a loan, branch manager Neshinski excitedly agreed.
??????? Is it possible that at that time there was a saying that it was the uncle who borrowed the money? No. It was because of Zhang Zuolin's status and Russia's situation in the Northeast.
Since the defeat of the Russo-Japanese War, Russia’s power in southern Manchuria has been replaced, and its economic interests have been gradually divided. The sum total of Daosheng Bank's branches in southern Manchuria is no greater than a Harbin in northern Manchuria. For Daosheng Bank, which urgently needs to expand its influence and reach out to southern Manchuria, Fengtian strongman Zhang Zuolin can throw a branch at them and give them a Great expectations.
With the participation of Zhang Hanqing, both sides of the negotiation were very happy: Zhang Zuolin used Fengtian's finance as a mortgage to lend two million rubles; this money will be used to introduce a large-scale artillery shell production factory from Russia, except for part of it for his own use. If necessary, they can be sold to Russia at a discount. Of course, one code equals one code, and the principal still needs to be repaid, and regarding interest, Neshinsky demanded an annual interest rate of 10%. Zhang Zuolin just paid back 8%, but Zhang Hanqing decided against it.
Afterwards, Zhang Zuolin said angrily: "Xiao Liuzi, I can use this money again."The interest rate of more than 50% is ruined by your interruption. This is not how business is done. "
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "Not at all. It's 100% not scary at all. I have absolute news. Within half a year, this money will be basically worthless. How much can you get now? Let's solve the urgent need first!"
The Fengtian Arsenal can produce a small amount of artillery shells for the exclusive use of the 27th Division and the Guard Brigade. Although it is a bit shabby, it is better than nothing. Zhang Hanqing thought that as the Feng clan expanded, the supply of ammunition would have to be self-sufficient. Otherwise, it would never be able to truly grow by purchasing it alone. Now is a good time.
Duan Qirui's government is already negotiating about China's entry into World War I. No matter how iterative the process is, the final result is that China will join the Allied Powers. Naturally, there is reason to sell arms to Russia, which is also an ally, provided that China can produce them. , meet the requirements and the quantity must be large——at least enough for one truckload at a time, right?
In fact, there was a proposal to make China an arms supplier once in history. This was actually a historic opportunity for the rise of China's military industry. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by the Japanese. It seems that everything the Japanese participated in, China You must suffer a loss!
If there is this opportunity, no matter whether it can be sold in the end, at least you don’t need to look at other people’s faces to play with Fengjun? Wait, what word was I just thinking of? Fuck? Don't think too much, it's really just about having sex.
It is true that Russia, a traditional European power, was short of weapons during World War I. It was not only short of weapons but also extremely short.
As a major member of the Allied Powers, Russia alone withstood the heavy pressure of Germany on the Eastern Front, armed a total of 15 million officers and soldiers, and lost 1.7 million people in battle. The number of injured should be far greater than this number. In addition, 3.1 million civilians were killed in the fighting. After three years of stalemate, Russia suffered heavy casualties and lost Russian Poland, the Baltic States, Western Belarus and Western Ukraine.
Why did the former northern hegemony, why is Russia's fighting power so declining? In addition to outdated tactical thinking, the lack of Russian weapons supplies is a fatal reason. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 184 A transaction that everyone is happy with
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
According to post-war declassification, during the Great War from 1914 to 1917, Russian factories produced a total of 58 million rounds of artillery shells. However, its annual demand for front-line artillery shells reached 50 million rounds. Because the industrial production capacity is insufficient (Russia has a poor industrial base, and more importantly, the adults are on the battlefield, and the industrial production and logistics support capabilities are seriously insufficient), the Russian government has to send the production and ordering of artillery shells to foreign countries. During the war, a total of 56 million rounds of 3-inch artillery shells were ordered and produced abroad. About 13 million rounds were actually shipped to Russia, which is less than a quarter. As a result, the Russian army experienced a severe shortage of military supplies throughout the war. This resulted in the Russian division commander having to control the average daily number of artillery fires to 5 to 10. The diaries of Tsarist Russian soldiers even complained that "Germany fired 20 rounds of artillery, and we could only fire back one." "Such a situation.
Later, due to lack of necessary weapons, they could only use the flesh and blood of countless soldiers to resist the attack of the German army.
It’s not that allies such as Britain, France and the United States are unhelpful, but they lack suitable ports and cannot carry out large-scale assistance. In addition, perhaps they also have a small idea, that is, to let the two powerful powers Germany and Russia fight on the Eastern Front to compete for the right to speak after the war. Russia had just transformed from serfdom into a backward agricultural country, and its military-industrial strength was not strong. After the whole country was mobilized to participate in the war, the disadvantages of its weak industry immediately became apparent. It even bought artillery shells from Japan, which was even weaker in the east.
The same goes for rifles: the Russian army has a shortage of about 3 million rifles per year, and even spends a lot of money to buy Type 38 rifles from Japan; the frontline requires 3 billion rounds of ammunition every year, but the annual production capacity is only 500 million rounds.
??Almost all artillery of the Fengtian army, including the Beiyang army, uses 75mm shells, which is exactly what the 3-inch caliber cannon needs. If, if, Zhang Hanqing put forward the hypothesis to Neshinsky: "If you use this loan to provide us with lathes and other equipment needed to produce artillery shells, we will produce at full capacity and give you priority at preferential prices. Provide shells.”
To say that Tsarist Russia is as backward as China - I refer to concepts, not entities: a camel is bigger than a horse. For example, on the eve of the war, Russia had 7,088 artillery pieces, while China only had, well, Each division has 54 divisions. By the beginning of 1918, there were only 16 such standard divisions in the Republic of China. 16, the full number is only 972!
Unfortunately, only 40 of the many artillery pieces in Tsarist Russia are heavy artillery. The reason for this is that its generals believe in the theory of mobile warfare (Tukhachevsky laughed it off), that is, mass production of light artillery that can be used for battlefield maneuvers. Infantry charges, while heavy artillery is an "outdated and cumbersome" weapon suitable only for "defensive warfare". As a result, of the 11,000 artillery pieces produced in the entire war, the number of heavy artillery only accounted for 3%
Therefore, when the Russian soldiers in simple uniforms met the German soldiers in fine uniforms, they were immediately overwhelmed. It was helpless to use the advantage of numbers to make up for the lack of weapons. This was the same as the Chinese Anti-Japanese War later. On the battlefield, human lives were used to fill the guns. Bullets, as exaggerated in a movie: "A large number of unarmed personnel lined up behind each formation, waiting to pick up the guns of the fallen"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As a patriotic and loyal businessman and financier, Neshinsky greatly admired Zhang Hanqing's astonishing judgment on the Russian front, and also admired Zhang Hanqing's sympathetic support for Russia. He said he would work hard to promote this win-win business.
To be honest, if Fengtian can produce the guns and ammunition that the Russian army urgently needs, it will be much faster and more convenient than purchasing them from Japan. You must know that through the Middle East Railway, Fengtian is very likely to become Russia's rear supply line.
Russia does not lack machines, but now it is in urgent need of manpower; Fengtian lacks machines, but it does not lack people. The two sides hit it off immediately, and Neshinsky sent the news to the country in a top-secret cable.
This was good news for the Russians who had just experienced a tragic victory in the summer offensive. They had just supported France and Italy, which were almost defeated by the Allies, at the cost of more than one million people. However, they took advantage of the short peace period in early 1916. The accumulated military supplies were almost exhausted.
"However, even if this is the case, the Russians are not willing to support China. They are only willing to sell machines for producing artillery shells and bullets. Zhang Hanqing was very disappointed when he refused to mention the 75mm field gun production line that Zhang Hanqing desperately wanted.
" Two artillery shell production lines and three bullet production lines cost a total of two million rubles. They were loaned by Daosheng Bank with an interest of 12%. The principal and interest will be repaid in full after one year.
Although Zhang Zuolin initially wanted to negotiate a price, he now feels that the deal is worth it. In any case, it is a huge progress for his army to be self-sufficient in artillery shells. I also thought that Xiao Liuzi could think of arms production without being controlled by others at this time, which was really far-sighted.
The transaction went smoothly, and Neshinsky also benefited a lot from it. Maybe he was in a good mood, but he didn't pay attention to Zhang Hanqing's clichés, and Zhang Hanqing roughly guessed the reason: technological blockade - it turns out that the Japanese are also defensive against China.
However, this did not trouble Zhang Hanqing. He thought of a weapon that the Russians would not take seriously but would be of great benefit to improving the Fengjun army - the mortar: "Mr. Neshinsky, in light of your contribution to your country." Understand, is there any chance for us to get a mortar production line from your country? If you can facilitate the transaction, I think we will be grateful."
The First World War was mainly a defensive war. Maxim machine guns, aircraft, and second-line ** artillery and cannons had formed a good line of defense. Mortars, ordinary small-caliber guns that were not maneuverable enough and whose firepower range was not as good as the main artillery, were useless. It seems that no one takes it seriously, even in Russia.
However, Zhang Hanqing knows its huge role, especially in China where heavy firepower is insufficient and heavy industry is underdeveloped. This portable, simple-to-operate, low-cost weapon is an excellent firepower supplement for an army dominated by infantry. In line with the principle of eating food one bite at a time, it is not bad to be able to do the next best thing and obtain its production.
Neshinsky understood his hint, and according to his immature knowledge, this mortar was not a new gadget, and the technical content was not high, so he expected little resistance. He nodded: "I'll try again and do my best, my young commander."
A loan of two million yuan, from which he received a commission of 20,000 yuan, of course he would be happy to facilitate new transactions. With his hard mediation, Zhang Hanqing finally came back with a very happy reply a few days later: "Mr. Marshal, I communicated with the Supreme Command several times and finally got approval. Our country agreed to sell a 60mm caliber mortar production line. Three pieces, worth four million rubles, no counter-offering, and the full amount must be paid in one lump sum."
It doesn’t matter, banks and governments behave differently. For four million rubles in cash, Zhang Hanqing just went through the formalities from the bank. For Dowson Bank, it is a relationship between the left hand and the right hand. In fact, he didn't need to say anything, Zhang Hanqing was also planning to loan money from his family to complete this transaction. Anyway, I have no intention of repaying this debt. Now I can use their money to buy their machines. As long as I can get it, I can say anything.
Zhang Zuolin had received detailed explanations from Zhang Hanqing beforehand. He still understood the role of mortars very well, but he was still doubtful that the money would not be repaid in the end. However, he still agreed to do things that could increase the combat effectiveness of his army. He had borrowed money many times in his life, and the repayment process was very clear.
We have already inquired about the market price, and the prices we found from Li and Matheson are similar to this. It seems that in order to obtain a commission, Neshinsky really didn’t ask as much as a lion, and the price he quoted was completely conscientious.
Three lines, with an annual output of 150, can equip 25 6-gun mortar companies, or a larger establishment, 167 9-gun mortar companies. Compared with the Japanese Army, which generally equips infantry artillery directly under the front-line combat infantry, the Beiyang Army's infantry, except for machine guns, is truly "pure infantry"! Given China's current conditions, it would be a good idea if the regiment or even the battalion level could be equipped with such a mortar company.
The standard artillery battery under the Beiyang Division Artillery Regiment is a 6-gun system, which has inherent advantages over the 4-gun system common in the West and East. If we want to overwhelm the Japanese army in terms of supporting artillery, it is a bit unbelievable given our current economic capabilities.
And it seems that infantry artillery in various countries were later replaced by mortars. Relatively speaking, infantry artillery is far less powerful than cannons. In terms of its support function for infantry, its direct fire function is not as good as rocket launchers, and its curved fire function mortars are famous for their almost no shooting dead spots. Mortars are lighter in weight and simpler to maintain. In the long run, introducing mortars is definitely the right way to go.
In order to thank Neshinsky for his "contribution", he once again received a reward of 50,000 rubles, because this time Zhang Zuolin gritted his teeth and renewed the loan for 5 million.
The reason why the additional one million was added was because Zhang Zuolin saw that Zhang Hanqing was busy preparing for the expansion of the arsenal, and the Guard Brigade also dispatched a lot of manpower. The eldest son, who was working hard to earn money for his subordinates, did not spare a penny for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the Guard Brigade. All the loans were used for equipment related to manufacturing artillery shells. When Lao Zhang saw it, he was filled with emotion.
"My son has worked hard for this fortune, and as a father, I can't be blind." Regardless of whether I want to pay it back in the future, anyway, I have too many lice now and are not afraid of itchiness. Let’s get over this hurdle first. Of course, Zhang Hanqing was extremely happy about this. Not to mention that his own financial difficulties were solved at once, this real equipment was hard to come by. I'm not afraid of not being able to pay it back, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to get a loan. Dad is certainly worthy of praise for having such insight.
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, Zhang Hanqing kept urging, and Nesinsk also mobilized all relations and contributed a lot to the completion of this batch of equipment. Is it okay if it’s not fast? Once it is delayed until November, Russia changes drastically and everything becomes in vain. The money is good, but the equipment is worth more now! In order to avoid attracting public attention, especially the "concern" of the Japanese, the equipment entered Fengtian in batches from several directions and announced to the outside world that it was a coal mining machine. This is partly true, as Fengtian also lacks such equipment. Zhang Hanqing incidentally asked Neshinsky to buy some more, in the name of covering up people's eyes and ears.
Neshinsky made some profits from this transaction, but if he knew that in the future this loan would be equivalent to a free gift to the Zhangs and his son, would he feel like buying a coffin for a pearl?

Chapter 185 The Young Marshal’s Idea

"The flowers in the flower basket are fragrant, listen to me sing, sing and sing. I came to Fengji, Fengji is a good place, a good place. A good place with good scenery, a good place with good scenery, everywhere Crops, cattle and sheep are everywhere.
In previous years, Fengjibian was full of barren mountains with no human habitation. Today's Fengjibian is different from previous years. Today's Fengjibian is different from previous years. It is no longer the same as it used to be. It is a good place in the south of the Yangtze River in northern Liaoning.
??The beautiful south of the Yangtze River in northern Liaoning is full of flowers blooming all over the mountains. Studying on the Fengji side, Jiangnan is everywhere, yes Jiangnan. We learn and we produce. The Guard Brigade is a model. Let’s go forward and send flowers to the model. We go forward and send flowers to the model. "
When the song "Feng Ji Bian", a military reclamation song composed by the young marshal himself, resounded across the land of northern Liaoning, it was when the Guard Brigade was in full swing for large-scale production. From being all-inclusive by the government to a "self-financing" unit that grandpa and grandma don't love, a group of young and middle-aged people with knowledge and ability have become farmers planting crops and reclaiming wasteland. It is impossible to say that the officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade have no ideas. of. However, thanks to the usual ideological work, the officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade have no major resistance to military reclamation. This is partly due to Wang Yizhe. He addressed a series of issues such as the Guards brigade officers and soldiers' incomplete understanding of the significance of military reclamation, their incomprehension and contempt for soldiers' participation in farming, and their concerns over the impact of military officers' combat effectiveness. He gave profound explanations at various major meetings and officer-soldier conferences:
"We have always emphasized that we are the people's army. This time the main force of the Guard Brigade is stationed in northern Liaoning to carry out a large-scale production movement and implement production self-sufficiency in order to reduce the burden on the people. Every time we contribute more, the people will pay less. A little tax will make life a little easier. Everyone knows that the finances of Fengtian Province can no longer support a large-scale army. Is it possible that our Guard Brigade has worked hard to build a little foundation, and many brothers have sacrificed their lives for it? With such honor, will they eventually be laid off or eliminated due to lack of money?
Some brothers are a little reluctant to participate in farming. They think it is embarrassing and they will lose face if word spreads about it. But military villages have always existed in China since ancient times. Everyone knows why Cao Cao was so powerful during the Three Kingdoms period? It was because he was the first to establish the farming system and raised the most people, so he was also the most powerful. "Three Kingdoms" says: "The art of ruling a country is to strengthen the army and have enough food. The people of Qin used agriculture to control the world; Xiaowu used farming to control the western regions. This is a good way of the past generations." "It existed in the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty." Not to mention, he had been the leader of the teaching group for a long time and was very eloquent. He even accidentally brought out "yue" and "meaning". Not to mention, there were "sages" who For example, officers and soldiers who were illiterate were really frightened by him.
"As for whether this will affect combat effectiveness? This has been concluded. Many of our brothers are from the countryside and know some of the laws of agricultural production. Except for the busy farming season, most of the other time is spent waiting. The crops grow. We can cultivate when we are busy and train when we are free, so we can do both.
We can also open some factories, companies, shops, workshops, etc., and use our existing facilities to add necessary items to society as much as possible. We can not only make profits from them, but also enable the equipment to fully operate and improve the living standards of the people. Improvement, why not?
The young marshal has said that as long as we slow down this momentum and wait for the New Civil Agrarian Reform led by Chief of Staff Guo to come to an end, we will still be an out-and-out Guard Brigade. In addition, when there is a harvest and the Guard Brigade has money, we will also purchase additional equipment, and we will also form cavalry regiments and artillery battalions. Our combat effectiveness will not only not decrease, but will also improve qualitatively. "
Wang Yizhe’s eloquence calmed the hearts of many people, and they began to join in this large-scale brigade-wide activity, willingly or unwillingly. Of course, the young marshal's personal practice gave Wang Yizhe's teachings a vivid example.
Zhang Hanqing has always stood on the front line of military reclamation, and he knows the power of role models. Exploring water conservancy, assessing the feasibility of reclamation, planning corresponding transportation construction and village and town preparations, the young marshal practiced it with dignity. When there were a large number of people, he would still remember to put on a show from time to time, taking a shovel and taking the lead in digging the ground himself.
Using the money from Yu Fengzhi’s dowry, Zhang Hanqing arranged to purchase a lot of furniture and cattle. During the day, the soldiers worked in the fields, and at night, they continued to work in the newly built textile factories, tanneries, and paper factories. Of course, salt industry, local products, transportation and other companies have also gradually grown in scale under the arrangement of the young marshal. Opening restaurants, shops, military cooperatives and various small processing workshops are also the specialty of the Guard Brigade.
Seeing the young marshal working so heartlessly, the Guard Brigade could no longer express its last complaint. Speaking of nobility, who else has more status than a young commander? He has already done the work himself, so what conditions do ordinary officers and soldiers still have to ask for? The young marshal’s wife has donated her dowry, so what else can she complain about?
Of course you should be concernedSoldiers still need to be concerned. It is bitterly cold in northern Liaoning. When the beginning of winter arrives, there are no edible vegetables except Chinese cabbage and carrots. Zhang Hanqing taught the officers and soldiers how to grow in greenhouses: "The so-called greenhouse planting, simply put, is to keep vegetables in an environment that blocks wind and collects heat. Plants are conducive to growth in a warm environment. In this way, we can grow many plants Fruits and vegetables that grow in spring, summer and autumn are grown in greenhouses that are as warm as spring, so that you can eat things that you usually can’t eat in winter.”
No matter how simple the officers and soldiers were to make "greenhouses" using local methods, the young commander's heart for the officers and soldiers was realized.
There are also scientific poultry breeding. Under the instructions of the marshal, dozens of new pig houses were built within the jurisdiction of the Guard Brigade, basically one in each row. The chicken coops are maintained on a large scale in company units. He also personally instructed the breeding officers and soldiers on new feeding methods. Regardless of whether the method was feasible or not, it was surprising that he was so clear-eyed as a young commander.
His anti-traditional theory is: "In the stage from small pigs to medium-sized pigs, that is, before one hundred pounds, feed mainly concentrates, only a small amount of green feed, and no roughage. When the pigs grow to one hundred pounds, they will be slaughtered, and then the pigs will be reduced appropriately. The input amount of concentrate should increase the input of green and roughage, and the ratio is about three to two. This is called the 'back-feeding method'."
Wang Xianliang, who used to be an expert at raising pigs at home, initially came to support him with the idea of ??watching a joke. However, when the young marshal mentioned his so-called "back-feeding method", he couldn't help but retort: ??"Young marshal, we all use the 'hanging frame' feeding method at home. In the early stage, we feed a large amount of green and roughage, and only invest a very small amount. When the pigs grow to 100 kilograms, a large amount of concentrated feed will be added for rapid fattening. This feeding method can make use of a large amount of green and roughage. Otherwise, the pigs will not be fed, and those green and concentrated feeds will only be eaten by people. .”
His words made some officers and soldiers who had ideas but dared not express them laugh. The young marshal is approachable and will not get angry even if he says these words. This is one of the important reasons why the officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade are willing to associate with the young marshal. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 186 Countryman and Inventor
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Sure enough, the young marshal also laughed, but he was full of slander in his heart: "You bumpkin, do you know what scientific breeding is? Do you know how much is wasted by feeding green roughage in the early stage? 30%! If I hadn't happened to feed pigs in my previous life, How dare I instruct you to do these things!"
But he still wanted to show his self-cultivation as a young marshal: "Hahaha. That's not how the accounts are calculated. Green and concentrated feed can be fed to chickens. We will raise pigs and chickens together."
"The reason why we use the 'back-feeding method' is because pigs mainly have long bones and lean meat from the piglet stage to the middle pig stage, and they have greater demand for protein and mineral elements. Do you know what protein and minerals are? Don't know? It doesn't matter, it's just food necessary for body growth. Because the digestion utilization rate of pigs is extremely low at this time, concentrates should be used mainly to meet the needs of pig growth and development, so that piglets can grow rapidly and reduce unnecessary feed consumption. After the pig grows to 100 pounds, its digestive utilization rate increases and its ability to tolerate roughage increases, so the amount of roughage is increased. Do you understand? It doesn’t matter if you don’t. For example, when you were a child, you had to drink milk. Because you can’t eat whole grains. When you grow a little older, you need to feed milk and whole grains together. When you get older, you can only eat whole grains and not milk. Otherwise, no one can afford to feed you, right? What is the point of feeding people and pigs? That makes more or less sense." Everyone burst into laughter.
When interested people compared pig raising methods with Zhang Hanqing's method and Wang Xianliang's method, they found that although the "hanging rack" method initially saved a lot of feed money compared to the "down-feeding method", it was more "down-feeding". The pigs raised by the "feeding method" appear strong and big, and the former are obviously malnourished. When everyone grows to a certain level, the weight and size must gradually become equal, and the advantages of the "back-feeding method" will be fully exerted. Although the pigs fed by this method can be eaten after weighing 100 kilograms, they do not cost much because they eat coarse feed. However, the "hanging rack method" is forced to feed concentrated feed when the pigs eat a lot, which costs a lot. But it's unusual. When the pigs are mature, the "back-feeding method" really saves nearly 30% of the feed cost.
Now the "Pig King" Wang Xianliang was convinced, and there was a sensation in the military camp. He said that despite being the eldest son, the young marshal was more capable than the experienced breeders in the countryside.
Of course, our young marshal is very capable. No, within a few days, he came up with another important invention. It was originally just a momentary lust for words, but it turned out to be a big deal inadvertently.
This thing is called instant noodles.
"This thing that was known to all in later generations, young and old, was actually started in advance with great fanfare after some fiddling by the young marshal. At first, Zhang Hanqing was tired of Fengtian's millet porridge, so he made this thing to improve his food. After he succeeded, he thought that this thing was very beneficial to marching and fighting. It was easy to carry and store, and was extremely beneficial to the logistics support during marching and fighting. Therefore, Come up with a big idea and implement it immediately.
“Moreover, instant noodles have developed in later generations and are suitable for all ages. They can be made at any processing place. The technology is very reliable and simple. What everyone lacks is just an idea. Long before the invention of instant noodles, people in the ancient East and West fried cooked noodles and served them with soup. There are already similar noodles in China called "Yi noodles" or "Yifu noodles" (which are also called "pasta" in Taiwan). Legend has it that during the Qing Dynasty, a local official hosted a banquet at home. The chef mistakenly put the cooked egg noodles into a pot of boiling oil, so he had to pick them up and serve them with broth. Since the guests were full of praise after eating it, this dish has been passed down.
As for non-fried instant noodles, it can be traced back to the invention of Han Xin’s army in the Western Han Dynasty in China in the third year of Emperor Gaozu’s reign (205 BC). When Han Xin led 100,000 troops in Heyang on the bank of the Yellow River and prepared to attack Wei Bao, the king of Wei in the east and west of the river, in order to solve the problem of marching rations, he invented a paste of buckwheat flour and wheat flour, cooked it into eight-mature large pancakes, and cut them into wide strips. This kind of noodle is easy to carry around and can be eaten by just adding water and boiling it. Therefore, it can also be regarded as the earliest form of instant noodles.
In fact, it is also said that the first person to make instant noodles was a cook in the home of a prefect named Yi in Yangzhou, my country. He added eggs to the flour, rolled them into thin slices, cut them into thin strips, boiled them in water, and immediately fried them in oil to dry. The noodles processed in this way can be soaked in hot water at any time and are very convenient to eat. Unfortunately, this invention was not patented, and foreigners took the lead in mass production of instant noodles, which first became popular in Japan.
According to official history, in 1958, the Japanese-Chinese Momofuku Ando (formerly known as Wu Baifu) saw that there were long lines to eat a bowl of noodles at that time, so he thought: "Making noodles is too time-consuming, why not make it easier? Then people will No need to queue up." So it was invented in Ikeda City, Osaka Prefecture. After Momofuku Ando invented instant noodles, he founded Nissin Food Co., Ltd. to sell "Chicken Ramen" (**named "Nissin Yimen", in mainland China it is "Nissin First Chicken Ramen") flavor and became a fast food product modern instant noodles. Just like Momofuku Ando?As expected, it immediately caused a sensation and exploded in sales. In April 1959 alone, 13 million packages of "Chicken Instant Noodles" were sold. According to a Japanese public opinion poll in 2000, instant noodles are considered the most important invention in Japan in the last century, followed by karaoke.
Zhang Hanqing was racking his brains about military expenditures, and even used a beauty trick. Now that there is suddenly such a way to make money, of course we will not let it go. We know that the technology of instant noodles is actually not complicated. Historically, Nissin instant noodles were imitated by other manufacturers within a few months of their birth, resulting in price-cutting competition. As my self from the future, I happen to master some key processes. How can I avoid being imitated by others in mass production?
He thought about it again and again. One decision was to impose military control and secretly control key processes; the other decision was to sell instant noodles in a short period of time and occupy the market quickly, so that other companies would not have time to react.
Military management is easy to handle. It is all under the control of the Guard Brigade. As long as several processes are placed in different places or different workshops, and the workers in each process are isolated from each other, after the market is relatively saturated or the brand is established, this The technological monopoly has lost its effectiveness. After all, people with a little bit of thinking can probably guess the method after seeing it face to face. It just depends on how long it takes.
But occupying the market is a troublesome matter. Selling internationally is a bit ridiculous. Even in a country as big as China, the traffic information is not smooth. If you want to quickly occupy the market, it is difficult to do it without certain strength and experience. Moreover, to imitate the hunger sales method of later generations of Xiaomi, a certain amount of inventory is required. This upfront cost and the startup of large-scale manufacturing factory facilities require a large amount of funds! Where did it come from?
Zhang Hanqing once again shamelessly thought of Yu Fengzhi’s natal family. This is a bit like venture capital in later generations. There are no factories, no technical personnel, no equipment, and no funds. All it has is just an idea. Currently, the only people in China who can have a close relationship with Xiao Zhang are the Yu family. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 187 Planning

??And in Zhang Hanqing’s case, it’s not enough to invest too little. Once it is successfully imitated by competitors, the small capital will definitely be lost to everyone. Just like many new things in history, it is short-lived and then forgotten.
There are still very few investors in China who are willing to provide this money. In the food industry, except for the flour and textile king Rong Desheng Rong in the south, there are only a few. The key is not yet familiar, and Xiao Zhang is not willing yet. He believes that with his hundreds of years of knowledge, instant noodles will have a chance to sell well and the wealth will not flow to outsiders.
He discussed his idea with Yu Fengzhi, and then personally broke off a piece of the instant noodles he made for his wife to taste. Yu Fengzhi, who belongs to a businessman family, was sensitive to the business opportunities: it tasted very good and was unique.
Women’s meticulousness allowed Zhang Hanqing’s inspiration to transform from theory to reality. Based on the calculations he had made with his father and what he had heard and heard, Yu Fengzhi carefully calculated the profits. According to Zhang Hanqing's description and theory, the net weight of a piece of instant noodles is about two taels, which can barely fill a meal; the price can be high, because the vast majority of people in China are still unable to have a full meal at the moment, and instant noodles are such " "Luxury goods" are not for these people, but should be targeted at mid-to-high-end groups: "business people", travelers, military personnel, single civil servants in government agencies According to their normal salary, which is not less than one ocean per month, the price should be set per A portion of five to five is appropriate.
The cost of steaming, boiling, rolling, etc. including manpower and machinery is no more than one cent; the cost of flour is less than one cent; the rest is publicity and logistics. Publicity is easy to say, Zhang Hanqing is planning to publish advertisements in newspapers in major cities, and plans to set up direct sales points in some big cities, and will give rewards ranging from discounts according to sales performance - this is unprecedented. First time!
In terms of logistics, the Guard's Travel and Transport Department is responsible for this province; the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region uses the Beijing-Fengcheng Line train transportation; Shanghai, Nanjing, Hankou and other areas along the Yangtze River use small steamers - you don't have to worry about this, as long as the reputation comes up , don’t be afraid that no one will find a way to luck. This province must account for the bulk of the freight initially, so the freight will eventually fall into the pockets of the Guards Brigade - let's calculate it as one point for the time being.
Based on the ratio between the number of Japanese in later generations and the slightly wealthier people in China today, we all have about the same number. Zhang Hanqing estimates that it is possible to start with 10 million packs. Taking into account the impact of instant noodles on the market caused by the current food shortage, this number is still conservative. Even so, there is no problem in making a net profit of 200,000 yuan.
The biggest problem now is how to attract this original capital. Yu Fengzhi has no money, and it's not a problem to always use his wife's money. Zhang Hanqing still has self-respect. As a husband, even if he is a little younger, he is still upright. It’s okay if he can’t earn money for his wife to buy fans. At least he can’t worry about the dowry anymore.
Money is such an evil thing! It would be nice if there was a bank by my side Of course, forget about Daosheng Bank. Zhang Zuolin's several consecutive loans have forced him to borrow a large amount of funds from Harbin, Changchun and other places. If he borrows more, he will have to use reserves. .
If you can have a bank in your own hands, you don’t have to worry about investment! Zhang Hanqing suddenly thought of something, and he excitedly took Yu Fengzhi's hand: "Honey, let's set up a bank ourselves."
At this moment, Yu Fengzhi felt that his husband was crazy. Maybe he was confused by the money he owed? Looking at the tiredness that he couldn't hide at such a young age, he felt soft in his heart: "Han Qing, we can't even get out 50,000 yuan now - but if you are really short of money, I will send someone to bring my jewelry to you." They’re all sold, even if they’re a little cheaper.”
Zhang Hanqing wanted to laugh but couldn't. In front of the woman's tenderness, he was moved for the first time and held her in his arms: "Honey, what I said is true. How long will it take for this little fight to happen?" If we have our own bank, everything that requires money will be solved easily. And I have calculated that opening a bank is a sure-fire way to make money without losing money." He whispered in her ear: "I can open a rural bank. , specializing in collecting the remaining balances from farmers. In addition, I can use the administrative power of Fengtian to let agricultural taxation and water conservancy pass through its hands. Fengtian has a population of 30 million, even if each person saves only one dollar, he will definitely make a lot of money."
Even though Yu Fengzhi came from a business family, he was shocked by his bold idea. He really dared to think!
But gradually, she felt that it was no big deal. Fengtian is facing an unprecedented economic boom. As long as it is industrial and commercial investment, the benefits are considerable. Then, banks as the main body of investment funds will become the biggest winners, provided that it can be established. Agricultural projects and taxation are major items of rural revenue and expenditure. If you hold this in your hands and operate it casually, the bank operation will be 100% sure. Father-in-law is FengtianBeing the largest official in the province is a difficult task for others, but it is not difficult for Zhang Hanqing. Maybe he can really do it!
“But setting up a bank is expensive, and it’s impossible to do it without 1.8 million. But in Fengtian Province, who has such a big capital? Yu Fengzhi thought for a moment, then saw Zhang Hanqing's expectant face, alas, she understood everything. She chuckled and said, "Can you still be successful and worry about your wife's money all day long?"
Seeing that his dirty thoughts in private were revealed, Zhang Hanqing didn't feel any guilt or guilt at all. He said with a smile: "My wife is smart. I have been thinking about something for a long time, but you thought of it all at once!" The idea is that Yu Fengzhi has run out of money, but doesn’t she still have a strong family?
"This is a large amount of money, and it can even wipe out the Yu family's wealth. Do my mother and others dare to take this risk?" Yu Fengzhi became a little worried again. But on the other side is her husband's career, and she must make a decision. If you don't try it, how will you know if it works?
Yu Fengzhi is now completely on board Zhang Hanqing's pirate ship. After donating all the dowry, she will go back to her parents' home to lobby her mother and uncles and continue to contribute to Xiao Zhang's career. Who allowed her to share a dining table with him and share a bed with him?
Although her natal family is wealthy, their property was accumulated bit by bit through the traditional business model. She is a little worried, will her natal family agree to such an extremely risky plan? Although wealth is gained through risk, will Mrs. Yu and her group of relatives and friends agree to suddenly abandon a traditional and stable industry and enter an unfamiliar field?
For such a big matter, Yu Fengzhi could only go back to her parents' home in person. Naturally, Zhang Hanqing, the instigator, must have wanted his wife to follow her husband.
Under the escort of a team of cavalry, Yu Fengzhi's carriage drove into Zhengjiatun. This was her return after a month. This time she was accompanied by her husband, so it was considered a return home.
Mrs. Yu was still so happy. She held Yu Fengzhi's hand and looked at her open temples and rosy face. She silently felt the changes in Yu Fengzhi, and her heart was filled with happiness. She said to Feng Zhi: "I heard that you are coming, and this girl Yifan will come back alive and well. No, she just arrived yesterday, and she is here today."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Fengzhi's delicate face appeared in front of everyone, and at the same time, a delicate voice appeared: "Aunt, uncle, why did you come just now? I'm so anxious."
Yu Fengzhi has always been Yu Yifan's good partner before she left the boudoir. Although she is an aunt and nephew, she loves her like a sister. After I got married, I felt even more friendly. She took Yu Yifan's hand and said, "Damn girl, you didn't come to see me when I was studying in the provincial capital. Now you're pretending to be affectionate."
Yu Yifan was laughing and joking, but he had no idea: "The place where my aunt lives is too scary. They are all soldiers with guns and cannons. When you go in, you have to be interrogated like thieves for a long time. I don't dare to rush in casually."
Mrs. Yu smiled and patted her: "My uncle lives in the Marshal's Mansion, so of course you have to be careful to prevent bad guys from entering. But you are a little girl, how can you be afraid of collision? I usually see you without any fear."
Zhang Hanqing saw that Yu Yifan was cute and smart, and couldn't help but joke: "How could such a beautiful girl like Yifan do something like this? I'll tell Yi San when I get back and let him remember Yifan's appearance. From now on, the Marshal's Mansion There are no taboos, and no questioning is allowed!" Wei Yisan is now Zhang Zuolin's chief of bodyguards, and he is also responsible for the security of the Marshal's Mansion.
Everyone burst into laughter, but Yu Yifan said seriously: "That's great! Then I can talk to my aunt often, and I will keep my word."
Zhang Hanqing nodded and said: "We will do what we say."
Yu Yifan suddenly stretched out his hand, she bent her little finger and pointed at Zhang Hanqing: "Pull the hook."
How long has it been since you encountered something like this? The last time you made a promise with someone else was a hundred years ago, right? Zhang Hanqing suddenly felt a little nostalgic. Looking at the fair and tender hand in front of him, he couldn't help but bend his little finger and hook her. Yu Yifan muttered something: "Hang yourself with a hook, and you won't be allowed to change for a hundred years!"
Her little hands were soft and warm. They were so close, and the girl's body fragrance unexpectedly penetrated into Zhang Hanqing's nose. At that moment, Zhang Hanqing suddenly felt his little finger tighten, and Yu Yifan tightened his grip. Just when he didn't know why, Yu Yifan suddenly let go of his hand and took a step back calmly with a smile. No one else noticed this little move for a while. Only Zhang Hanqing thought about it for a long time and didn't know why.
Ignoring the tricks of the little daughter’s family, Mrs. Yu quickly prepared a table of food and drinks. Zhang Hanqing and Yu Fengzhi just followed the local customs and peacefully enjoyed this rare family happiness.
It was finally time for a break after the meal, and Yu Fengzhi shared with a group of important officials of the Yu family his plan to set up a food company, whose main product would be instant noodles. No one in the audience had heard of this new term, but when Yu Fengzhi distributed the samples made by Zhang Hanqing to everyone and tasted them, everyone nodded, saying this is a good thing.
After Yu Fengzhi briefly introduced the process cost, sales pricing and feasibility of making instant noodles, everyone basically unanimously agreed that it was feasible. As far as business is concerned, there is no denying that the prospect of instant noodles is attractive. If you follow the traditional marketing method, first manufacture and sell in small batches, and then gradually increase the volume after the market recognizes it, you can basically ensure a steady stream of profits, the capital chain can always remain open, and the capital can be recovered quickly. If something goes wrong, call a halt at any time and stop losses.

Chapter 188 Deep love between mother and daughter

Yu Fengzhi, on behalf of Zhang Hanqing, proposed to hoard a large amount of instant noodles first, and then have a market impact at a certain point in time, using rapid and violent means to bombard the nerves of all parties, so that the people would remember this new thing in a short period of time, and try their best to The practice of delaying latecomers to enter this field as much as possible captures the essence of marketing. In this field with relatively poor technical content, it is better to give latecomers as little opportunity as possible to "fair competition" in order to have business opportunities. The Yu family has created the reputation of being the richest man in Fengtian, and they still have this knowledge.
According to Yu Fengzhi’s idea, instant noodles are indeed a good business that can make money. According to the "market impact" theory mentioned by Zhang Hanqing, there is a good chance that this product will skyrocket. More importantly, as long as it enters the sales situation, the funds will be withdrawn very quickly.
Instant noodles are a sunrise industry that can spawn many other related industries. The Yu family can start from the source to prepare for the construction of flour processing plants, feed processing plants, etc., which can not only provide the pilot process for the instant noodle industry, but also take the opportunity to attract social business, without delay; as for Zhang Hanqing promised that the breeding plant built under the Guard Brigade would give priority to the products of the feed processing plant, because the meat would rot in the pot anyway.
??????????????????? In order to ensure sales, at least in Fengtian, there will be no approval for the start-up of a second instant noodle manufacturer and the possible entry of foreign instant noodles, that is, a five-year market access system to ensure monopoly profits. Everyone knows who is standing behind Zhang Hanqing, and they absolutely believe that he can do it.
Although the investment in instant noodles is already considerable, it is not something to be afraid of in the eyes of Yu’s family. They are all good people in business. There is no need to waste much time to verify whether the instant noodle business is feasible. Just based on the eldest lady's vision and the face of Uncle Zhang, the risk is worth taking.
If we talk about this, I believe it must be a happy scene. However, the experienced Mrs. Yu keenly discovered that her daughter, who had always been decisive, was hesitant to speak, and Zhang Hanqing, as the newlywed son-in-law, was also a little uneasy. This discovery shocked her. The two got married less than a month ago, and it was a good time for them to get married. What was going on?
She used the excuse that her daughter and son-in-law were coming from afar, and asked them to have a good rest and give them some time to talk about their daily lives. This very humane suggestion made everyone quickly realize that the mother and daughter had something to say. Nowadays, many business operations have come to the parents' home, re-creating a happy and leisure atmosphere.
After dinner, Yu Fengzhi quietly pulled his mother into the room and talked about Zhang Hanqing's plan.
"What! Invest one million?" This was Mrs. Yu's first reaction, and she was shocked. But soon, she shook her head decisively and said, "Girl, I don't agree with this idea!" Thinking that her daughter had come all the way, she felt that the tone was too direct, so she said euphemistically: "Our Yu family has never set foot in this bank. The emphasis in business is to be experienced rather than raw, let alone something like this that could lead to bankruptcy? The family business your father left behind cannot be destroyed in my hands! This kid Han Qing is good at everything, but he is too young and acts impulsively. . You are a serious adulterer from your father, why are you following his nonsense?"
I knew it wouldn’t go so smoothly.
Yu Fengzhi knew that Zhang Hanqing was extremely short of money and also knew about her husband's ambitions. This was the first time that her husband had entrusted her with something, and she didn't want to disappoint him. Logically speaking, she understands her mother's concerns: It took two generations to become the richest man in Fengtian. A good bank would be the icing on the cake, but the risk of bankruptcy is simply not worth taking.
You must know that the banking industry is different from other industries: since modern times, most companies have existed in the form of limited companies, so even if they lose, it is still the amount invested. However, banks mainly make a living by absorbing deposits and lending money, which can often lead to a leverage of ten times or a hundred times. Once the loan cannot be recovered, the sponsor will have to jointly and severally compensate the depositor for the loss caused, and the liability is almost unlimited. The assets of the Yu family are no less than one million, but as the founder, if poor management results in bad debts, the family will not be able to fill the bottom line!
But thinking of Zhang Hanqing’s disappointment, Yu Fengzhi felt that she needed to work harder. She took Mrs. Yu's hand and said, "Mother, I understand your worries. Of course I won't push our family into a pit of fire, right?" (Old Mrs. Yu: "That being said of course that's the truth")
"Now my father-in-law is engaged in industry and arsenal in Fengtian, and Han Qing is raising an army, and they are all in urgent need of money. I discussed the preparation of the bank with Han Qing first (she had no choice but to take over everything, I think In the mother's mind, her decision is more reliable than that of her husband who is much younger in her eyes), and only banks can afford such large expenses.
"If it hadn't been for the investment in coal and iron enterprises and arsenals that occupied most of my father-in-law's funds, I wouldn't have come to you to discuss the establishment of a bank. He can do it himself at home."Come. Han Qing was also very opposed to me coming here to raise money. He was afraid of losing face. He came because I told him that we were all members of the same family and that such a big matter could be discussed with my mother-in-law's family. .
"What Han Qing did was serious, and I think he did the right thing. He could have spent his life drinking and gambling like other officials' children, but he only trained troops and built industry, and wanted to increase his strength. This is what men do, and I can only support him. Preparing to establish a bank seems risky, but if it is successful, it will bring a steady stream of help to the Zhang family and enable the Yu family to reach greater heights. Even if we don't do it well, our father-in-law's influence won't cause us much loss.
There is still the Feng family, the enemy of my father-in-law, in Fengtian. My father-in-law and Han Qing are working so hard to defeat him. Now that our family is married to the Zhang family, we are both prosperous and devastated. We can't separate ourselves even if we want to. "
Mrs. Yu was silent for a long time after hearing this. It was really hard to make a decision. If you win, you will have a bright future, if you lose, you will have nothing. Anyone will consider this carefully, right? However, Mrs. Yu had experienced the big waves after all. At the last moment of her thoughts, she already had an idea. She took Yu Fengzhi's hand with a smile and said, "I will discuss this matter with your uncle and the others carefully. It's not The decision has to be made in an instant. Today we and I will have sex first——How has Han Qing been treating you these days since you got married?"
Yu Fengzhi also knows that such a big matter cannot be rushed, but it is not a good look when facing Zhang Hanqing at night, although he will definitely not say anything. This lovely, respectable and amiable woman has completely empathized with her husband's emotions. How to make him happy? He kept clamoring to change positions, but he was always shy and refused to do so, so why not just obey him tonight? In the blink of an eye, her mother suddenly asked something, but she got it wrong and couldn't help but blush and said, "Yeah."
They are all people who have been here before. Mrs. Yu felt relieved when she saw her daughter's sweet and shy look. She then asked Zhang Zuolin how he treated her and how his stepmothers treated him. Knowing that the Zhang family came from a family of officials, he was afraid that his daughter would be bullied while living with them.
Yu Fengzhi was not surprised by this. She said with gratitude: "As for the father-in-law, he is very good to his daughter. It can be seen that the relationship between him and his father is real. From the day he married into the Zhang family, he gave instructions My fifth mother taught me to familiarize myself with the affairs of the Zhang family, and said that I would take charge of them after a while. To be honest with my mother, my father-in-law has transferred the shares of two big foreign-style buildings in Fengtian to my name.
“The mothers are also good-tempered, and they all teach their younger brothers to listen to Han Qing’s words and respect me very much. So the more this happens, the more I feel that I have to run the house well, and I have to let my father-in-law and Han Qing work with peace of mind and not worry about money. "
Seeing that her daughter brought the topic to the bank again, Mrs. Yu smiled and pointed at her head and said: "It's true that girls are outward-looking. When people raise a daughter, they have something to rely on when they grow old. You are taking away all the mother's coffin books to supplement the money." Mother-in-law’s family! This matter is a big deal, and our Yu family also needs to have a good talk with several shareholders. We alone can’t come up with so much money! "
Yu Fengzhi was surprised and happy: "Mom, are you agreeing?"
Mrs. Yu sighed and said, "What should I do if I don't agree? As you said, our Yu family and Zhang family are connected by bones and tendons. Although my mother is not very literate, she also knows that if the Zhang family loses, our Yu family will lose." There will definitely be no good outcome. Besides, Mom doesn’t want to make things difficult for you—he was the one who came up with today’s idea, right?”
Yu Fengzhi wanted to deny it, but Mrs. Yu smiled and said: "Girl, you were raised by me. My dear daughter, Mo Ruomu, I know your character very well. You will not do such a risky thing as building a bank." , only Han Qing can do it——he is a proud and arrogant person at first glance. He has the temper of a young man and will not give up until he achieves his goal. If he wants you to live comfortably in the Zhang family, you can only do something. Everything depends on him. Money is an external thing, as long as you can live a happy life, these are not problems, and the worst is to start all over again. Back then, your father traveled across the ocean from Shandong to Guandong alone, wasn't he also penniless! "
Because of his mother's generosity and love, Yu Fengzhi had thousands of words to say, but he didn't know where to start. She could only nestle in her mother's arms, and said with tears, "The Yu family is what it is today, and it is inseparable from the support of all the uncles and uncles. The establishment of a bank is a big thing, so my mother tentatively proposed it first to see the reaction. If No, don't force them to express their opinions. After all, it's human nature for them to have ideas. If only our family is willing, let's see if we can raise half a million. With this money to start, other father-in-laws will always We need to take the lead in making up for it. But don’t worry, mom, as long as my father-in-law is still the governor and military governor of Fengtian, the money our family invested will eventually be earned back!"
Mrs. Yu nodded: "Of course I believe you, have you really decided to do this?"
Yu Fengzhi also nodded: "Well, marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog. From the moment I entered the Zhang family, I decided that I must be a good wife of the Zhang family and a good wife of Han Qing. With their family I have political blessing and my family's business talent. It would be a pity not to take advantage of such good conditions to build a good future for our family. This risk is worth taking and must be taken! However, I would like to advise all uncles and uncles. It takes a lot of effort to join."

Chapter 189 A big gamble
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Yu Fengzhi’s character is in the same vein as Mrs. Yu. He attaches great importance to emotions, but once he makes a decision, he will immediately dive in to discuss the pros and cons from a rational perspective. After a heart-to-heart talk, the focus of the discussion between mother and daughter was no longer whether to do it, but how to do it.
Such a big matter cannot but be discussed with important people in the Yu family. Mrs. Yu called her son, Yu Fengzhi's brother Yu Aozhou, and her brother Gao Tianlei, the "marriage trustee" who had advised Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Hanqing, and told them all about the decision. In the Yu family's business system, Yu Aozhou is the eldest son and traditional heir of the Yu family, and his uncle Gao Tianlei is the most influential figure in the periphery.
And what Yu Fengzhi expected was true. They were all shocked when they heard it. If Yu Fengzhi had not quickly emphasized that it was her opinion, they would have questioned that sister Yu (mother) had lost her head because of her age.
But when Mrs. Yu raised the business to a political level, they all pondered. Yu Aozhou and Yu Fengzhi have always had a close relationship as brothers and sisters, but they still expressed reservations about gambling with all their belongings; uncle Gao Tianlei said clearly: "We are not familiar with banking, and we are not as old as my niece." I will not take a stand on this. If it is an investment like instant noodles, if the difference is 10,000, I will make up 10,000, and if the difference is 100,000, I will lend it out!"
Mrs. Yu didn’t make a strong decision, she just said to let them go back and think about it first, and call everyone to negotiate tomorrow. Although he knew that his mother was very likely to be "arbitrary", the attitude of the two heavyweight members still made Yu Fengzhi deeply worried. When she informed Zhang Hanqing of the attitudes of the two most capable heads of the Yu family at night, Zhang Hanqing decided to take action himself.
The next morning, when the gods of wealth who control the economic lifeline of the Yu family gathered in the meeting hall, Yu Fengzhi tactfully started by establishing instant noodles marketing channels. Her plan is that this new enterprise will first take Fengtian as its foothold and monopolize the province's grain purchase, processing, and sales; this new enterprise should have its own sales points and publicity outlets in major cities across the country to facilitate the popularity of instant noodles. Explosive sales; this new enterprise should be in the hands of everyone. Instant noodles are definitely a freshness and preservation industry.
This plan was unanimously approved. Although instant noodles are a new thing, they do not fall outside the scope of the traditional food industry. Yu Fengzhi's method is just to make it more monopolistic and bigger. For familiar fields, even if the investment is larger, everyone still has a delicate heart and is confident that he can master it.
However, Yu Fengzhi later gradually mentioned that all businesses in Fengtian are waiting for development and there are many business opportunities, but the Yu family does not have enough funds to complete so many investments. Perhaps taking this opportunity to set up a bank and enter the financial industry is the solution for the family. The ladder that is imprisoned by traditional business thinking. Therefore, she said very cautiously: "I want to discuss with all my uncles and uncles to see if we can spend 500,000 yuan in advance to prepare to establish a bank."
As expected, this news shocked everyone. Almost everyone exclaimed: "This is not business, it is gambling! And it is a huge gamble that affects the wealth of two generations of the Yu family!"
What is the concept of half a million yuan in this era? Calculated based on the fact that one ocean can feed one person for one month, that means it can feed the total population of a relatively large county for one month! Converted to the twenty-first century before time travel, it would have been an investment worth one billion, which is an astronomical figure these days. And most importantly, this is just the first step!
There is still a chance that the Yu family really wants to raise funds, but most of its money is taken up by investments, and the entire family cannot raise so much cash! To come up with this money, you must give up most of your business and liquidate your assets. He abandoned his profitable business and poured money into the banking industry, which made everyone talk about it like a pot exploding.
Some people say that this is too childish, and it is not worth it to invest all their belongings in an unfamiliar industry; those with speculative ideas sigh that they are powerless, and they cannot afford to make such a big investment at home even if they become trousers. , unwilling to win over others, and the risk of debt investment is too high; the prudent idea is to start on a small scale first, and then gradually increase investment when conditions are mature.
??Through the efforts of his father’s generation, the Yu family’s business group has now formed a huge economic empire headed by the Yu family, with several major shareholders and dozens of external forces as supplements. Usually, although the Yu family makes the final decision on a major decision, it is basically discussed in advance and everyone's collective approval is sought. This has been the case for many years.
Yu Fengzhi doesn’t want to change this tradition, she has to work hard to convince them. After the couple decided to set up a rural bank, Zhang Hanqing had given her a lot of inspiration, and they needed to minimize investors' worries in the early stage. For example, early financing does not require Yujia to sell off his property to realize cash, as long as Yujia uses its reputation toIt is enough to solicit funds from society. Zhang Hanqing will also use the name of the Governor's Office as a guarantee and use the Zhang family's status to win the support of social elites, etc.
As the instigator and instigator of the affair, Zhang Hanqing cannot stand by and watch. He knew that these people's scruples were because the new banking industry was too high-end for ordinary businessmen, and the same was true for being as rich as a family member. If you don't explain the prospects thoroughly and explain the truth, it will be hard for my dear mother-in-law to make a strong decision. Last night, Yu Fengzhi had already told him everything about her mother's unconditional support.
He needs to come forward. Now he is not only the son-in-law of the Yu family, but also a spokesperson representing the government and emerging forces: "I know what everyone is worried about. They are nothing more than two things: building a bank is risky. Not big? Is the profit high? In terms of business, let me tell you in detail.
What is a bank? You can think of it as a bank, so it’s easier to understand, right? A bank accepts deposits and lends money. Basically, as long as it has a good reputation and doesn't make any major investment mistakes, it must be very rich. I won’t give too many examples of this. Let’s not go into the distance. There is a “Forever Bank” in our village. I heard that it has become prosperous in just ten years.
Of course we can’t just be optimistic about the good things. How to avoid risks? There are two risks in this bank, namely reputation and investment. In terms of credibility, the bank we plan to establish is guaranteed by the Fengtian Provincial Government, and my father will also be a shareholder, which is equivalent to added political insurance. If everyone can join in, and with the goodwill of the Yu family, I think the reputation will spread far and wide.
As for the risk of investment, this is not a problem at all, because our main direction is government projects, uh, areas guaranteed by provincial government finance, such as mining, building factories, and building water conservancy facilities. In order to increase our cash flow, uh, living money, my father agreed to ask various localities to deposit all local taxes in our bank. "
At any time, government projects are synonymous with fast money and high safety factor, provided of course that there is someone inside. Now that Zhang Zuolin, the warlord and provincial governor, has invested in the company, it is a reassurance in itself.
"With the investment direction, the bank is bound to make money. A rough estimate is that for every 10,000 yuan it absorbs, the annual net profit can reach 500 yuan. What if it absorbs 100,000 yuan? What about 1 million? Think about it boldly, what about 10 million? Can you make money? How much ultimately depends on the ability to attract savings, that is, whether people are willing to save money. As we all know, the vast majority of farmers in Fengtian may be poor, but even if each person only contributes a little, there is such a huge base. The total is an astronomical figure. The most conservative estimate is that it can be achieved with a deposit of 10 million."
The saving ability of the Chinese people has always been amazing. It is this concept of frugality and spending money wisely that has created the glory of the Chinese nation leading the world for thousands of years. The country is in chaos now. Neither the government nor the industrial and commercial circles care about the countryside. This also leaves people with nothing to save their savings, and many of them are stored at home. From the perspective of economic development, it can only be regarded as a type of simple reproduction. It is no wonder that the peasant economy has developed into a small peasant economy. If there are channels to collect this considerable amount of capital, it will definitely be a powerful contribution to the development of Fengtian's economy.
As for absorbing savings, Zhang Hanqing is not worried at all. The vast rural areas actually have a lot of potential, and there are countless funds and vitality hidden in them. In semi-feudal and semi-colonial China, the countryside was probably the only area that the great powers were unwilling to enter. Because of China's backwardness and vastness, countless farmers are scattered in dotted villages, and from generation to generation they have performed the fate of relying on the sky for food or the fields to support their families.
How to bring together the backbone of China and the future of China, to think in one place and to work hard in one place is a sign that China stands among the nations of the world. This was how the Communists in previous lives achieved invincible miracles by surrounding cities with rural areas. They also relied on this to overthrow the "three mountains" and create China's glory.
This is also the original intention of establishing a rural-oriented bank, officially named Farmers Capital Credit Cooperative.
Of course, Zhang Hanqing also gave them reassurance: "According to the bank's charter, everyone obtains shares according to the investment ratio, but the subject is the Fengtian Provincial Government. What does that mean? All shareholders will receive profits according to their shares. , In case, of course this is impossible, in case the bank does not do well, you will only liquidate according to the shares, and other responsibilities will be borne by the provincial government, that is, all shareholders bear limited liability—— -This is the biggest difference between banks and money banks.”
Speaking of this, Zhang Hanqing believed that it was time to make a decision for his family. Because based on this calculation, the risk of investment banks has been reduced to a minimum. All investors may lose is a business misstep and the capital invested. It will not hurt their bones, but they will have the opportunity to get rich returns. Moreover, it will strengthen the relationship with the Governor's Mansion - relying solely on in-laws will not add the potential for sustainable development to the family business. Only by integrating and sharing interests, can the ties become tighter and tighter, so that the relationship between the Yu family and the Zhang family can be consolidated. This is a big investment beyond business—emotional investment.
Some people have already started gearing up, but no one jumped out first. After all, the matter is huge and it is easier said than done. But not many people can actually do it in the end.

Unlike others who are hesitant and hesitant, Yu Yifan has shown an unusually firm attitude of support from beginning to end. Although she is at best a soy sauce among many uncles - she has no right to say anything. She is the granddaughter of the Yu family. No one knew whether her words meant it herself or the adults.
She somehow had a natural affinity with Zhang Hanqing, maybe because of her aunt. How could she help him? On the surface, she is laughing and joking, but she is very scheming. When the elders objected at first, she couldn't say anything. But when Zhang Hanqing successfully persuaded some people, she saw that many people were moved and knew that the deadlock needed to be broken, so she couldn't wait to jump out:
"I agree with my uncle's idea. If you only stick to stability when doing business, you will never make it big. After all, my uncle is a person who does big things and has courage. I remember my second grandfather (Yu Wendou) once said: 'Wealth is risky. Zhongqiu', our family was in the tea business before I was born, and it is still the same now. Although it is very stable and our life is comfortable, but look at the new families nearby, they are not involved in our business. Rumors are still rising. Especially the 'Forever Bank' that my uncle just mentioned. My second grandmother once told me that it will be close to our Yu family in ten years. And if this trend continues, it won't be long before we are ranked number one in the world. The head will be replaced by someone else. Am I right, Second Grandma?"
Madam Yu was satisfied and needed someone to guide her. Someone brought her a pillow as soon as she dozed off. Of course, she had to look worried on the surface: "Yes, what kind of big guy was Boss Zhao of that bank?" You know, running barefoot in the snow with a runny nose in the middle of winter to find something to eat, what was their family like back then? It’s only been a few years!"
It is said that Boss Zhao became successful in less than ten years. Not only did he buy several large houses in the provincial capitals Fengtian and Changchun, he also married several wives and concubines, and lived a prosperous life. Boss Zhao's deeds are very inspiring for hundreds of miles around Zhengjiatun.
When Yu Yifan saw that the second grandmother supported her, he struck while the iron was hot and said, "I don't quite understand what my uncle said, and I don't know if running a bank together with the government is more reliable than a bank. But I know that although the investment is large, , but the profit must be very high, and my uncle will not lie to us anyway. I think that although my uncle is not a businessman, he has a further perspective than us. With these advantages that my uncle explained, it would be shameful if we still can't make it big. So ashamed!"
Her girlish character has something to say, but it also weakens the strong atmosphere of debate. Come to think of it, what kind of family background does the young commander have? His guarantee of at least monopolizing Fengtian is so strong. As a big player in Fengtian who has been in the market for a long time, many people still have the foresight to see the Yu family. Not to mention others, my uncle Gao Tianlei was the first to respond: "What Yifan said is that with such good conditions, I think this bank project is worth pursuing! I, Gao Tianlei, will definitely support it!"
This statement made the Yu family excited: The authentic son-in-law did not help, but let his relatives speak first. If the force was not strong enough, what would Zhang Hanqing think? Mrs. Yu looked at Nai Di with some annoyance, secretly praising and admiring his alertness, but also lamenting that it only took him a while, how could he change his mind so quickly? Of course, she wouldn't say much. It was the right way to just follow his words: "Han Qing is the son-in-law of the Yu family after all. How could the Yu family ignore his affairs? We are just discussing how to do it better." , after all, this is not a trivial matter, isn’t it?”
In fact, Mrs. Yu expressed her firm support for Zhang Hanqing last night. The reason is very simple. After all, she had seen the big waves, and the problem in her mind went deeper: half a million yuan seemed like a huge amount of money, but for the famous young marshal son-in-law in Fengtian, it was not necessarily a very difficult problem. I heard that this son-in-law lured many people to invest millions in Fengtian with nothing in Beijing. He should have a wide network, and he is also related to the handsome Zhang Zuolin. Just based on this simple relationship, it is worth letting the Yu family rush forward - no matter how many people want to find this opportunity to curry favor with Zhang Dashuai, they will never get it, let alone the son-in-law's request for his daughter.
Yu Fengzhi’s elation was not just the reason for this investment decision. This is the first time that her newlywed husband has come to her natal family to seek support. If the marriage cannot be completed, the failure of the business negotiation will be a minor matter. Losing her husband's face is a major matter.
Just last night, when my mother was chatting with her about Zhang Hanqing's current situation, she felt very sad for the "tragic situation" in which he led the entire Guard Brigade to feed pigs, because there were rumors in Zhengjiatun that this local guest was "poor enough to feed pigs." Of course, her mother would never tell her whether her decision to firmly support Zhang Hanqing last night was intended to support her son-in-law. But now that Zhang Hanqing is tongue-tied and courageous, she finally pushed her mother-in-law's approval, which made her look good.
As a new business family, the Yu family is still very cohesive.??, Mrs. Yu is also as courageous as a man. Having decided to "spare everything" for his son-in-law, the family's rare high operational ability was reflected at this time: the peripheral industries were auctioned; the shop where he started was mortgaged; and the dock, which was originally a source of wealth, was transferred.
Outsiders were confused by the big move of the Yu family. Some of the original business partners also sent letters or came to consult. Mrs. Yu just said: "According to the wishes of the son-in-law, the Yu family fully supports the establishment of Fengtian." Farmers' capital cooperatives, in need of start-up capital, have sold their properties to use them as equity capital." Of course, I would also like to persuade these good friends whose husbands had friends and partners in the past and are still in contact with them now: "The prospects of rural credit cooperatives are great, and all old friends, please also share your thoughts. Let’s help each other and join in the great event.”
Who is the Yu family? It was one of the largest households in Fengtian. I heard that when my daughter Yu Fengzhi got married, she would be accompanied by a large company. Who is your husband's family? Everyone in Fengtian knows that he is Zhang Hanqing, the eldest son of the Marshal's Mansion, a rising star in Fengtian's military circles, and a man with a large number of troops!
Now the Yu family is trying their best to build a "Farmers Credit Cooperative". I heard that it is roughly the same as a bank, but the target of attracting deposits is farmers. It seems that the farmers really don't have much money, but they can't handle the large number of people. There is a lot going on here. The key is that there is a young commander in the middle. He will not let his father-in-law's family suffer, right? If he joins the gang, will he also be indirectly connected to the Governor's Mansion? I heard from family members that Zhang Hanqing and Yu Fengzhi will also invest a large amount of money as one of the sponsors. This relationship is worth doing.
Whether it’s collusion between officials and businessmen or flattery by businessmen, the Fengtian Farmers Capital Credit Cooperative is doing well. A cooperative, as its name suggests, is a social organization that wants everyone to work together. In order to allow as many "rich people" to join as possible, the share capital was set at one hundred yuan per share, and Yu Jia used 500,000 taels of cash as the main sponsor.
The original plan was to collect 1 million in equity and start business immediately. However, when Zhang Zuolin personally bought shares with a 100,000 yuan voucher, his influence was unprecedented. Zhang Hanqing and his wife also gritted their teeth and paid 100,000 yuan to chip in - 30,000 yuan was the proceeds from the sale of Yu Fengzhi's last dowry, and 70,000 yuan was Zhang Zuolin's generous gift after hearing that his eldest daughter-in-law had sold her dowry.
This matter spread to ten, and even the leading figures in Fengtian City knew about it. This bank is always profitable. It has the endorsement of the governor and governor, and the young marshal and his wife even pledged their dowry as shares. If you think about it with your toes, it is definitely a profitable business. Therefore, figures in the financial world donated money one after another, and soon a huge amount of nearly half a million yuan was added.
Now many onlookers were moved, and the typical Chinese principle of "praising the high rather than taking the low" came into effect. There is an official, Zhang Dashuai, who is in charge of the town, and I heard that the provincial finance is also a guarantee. With this relationship, the insurance factor is much greater. The foundation of a bank is credit. With a handsome man as a "partner", the business will definitely not be lost, and there is also a personal relationship, right? So those who have money can take more, and those who have less money can collect a few shares. Of course, one share is not too little. In this way, another 1.8 million yuan was added. Ling Ling Zongzong actually gathered as many as two million!
On the day of the opening, not only the warlord Zhang Zuolin attended in person, but also the upper echelons of Fengtian’s military, political, and financial circles came to congratulate him. The Yu family is the big boss, accounting for about 40% of the share capital, and has the reputation of being a handsome man. Yu Aozhou, Yu Fengzhi's eldest brother, was naturally elected as the chairman and general manager.
The current main task of the "Farmers Fund Credit Cooperative" is to attract savings. This part of the customer base is actually very solid: because in rural areas, it is not easy for farmers to make money, and they cherish their savings more and more. Under normal circumstances, they can only add items, except for special occasions. Big things will not be taken out easily, which is a great benefit to Zhang Hanqing's "big cause", because his plan is supposed to take a long time to be effective.
The Yu family seized this historical opportunity and jumped on the horse decisively, winning the opportunity for a second leap. They were originally from a business family, but now they are even more powerful with the huge capital of Fengtian Agricultural Credit Cooperative. Due to well-known reasons, the Yu family's business activities began to be labeled as having a political background. Not only did they easily get involved in all walks of life in Fengtian, but they also monopolized all farmland water conservancy projects, inland waterway shipping, tax collection and retention, etc., and developed extremely rapidly.
The idea of ??the Farmers Capital Credit Cooperative is very special. As long as you have saved money in the cooperative, when you need a loan, you can find a villager who also has an account to jointly guarantee it, and you can easily obtain a loan. At that time, because there were almost no financial institutions oriented to rural areas, the traditional way to get rural loans was through loan sharking. Encountering a sinister rich man could ruin everything. Therefore, as soon as the new financial form of farmers' capital credit cooperative was born, it immediately won the favor of the majority of people and was called the "life-saving bank" of farmers.
The low interest rate, no need for collateral, and good service attitude have enabled the cooperative to achieve great success in a short period of time. Because of the trust of the common people, and in order to be eligible for loans when necessary, almost every household in rural areas has an account and all their spare money is deposited here. According to statistics, in the first three months, all cooperatives absorbed a total of 5 million yuan in deposits, and even farmers in neighboring provinces began to get excited; one year later, the highest deposits reached 20 million yuan!
? It was from this point on that a group of Zhang Hanqing’s earliest supporters, headed by the Yu family, carried out this revolution in China’s financial world, and then gradually formed the Northeastern Financial Group, which became a myth in the financial world. This is another story. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Deposit here.

Chapter 191 Liberating the Peasants is Liberating China
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Economic development and military reform backed by national power are both money-burning games. But at this time, people's livelihood is in decline and businesses are waiting for prosperity. Where will the Fengtian military government find money? After finally repaying the Japanese loan borrowed to increase the army by ten battalions, the fiscal revenue was barely enough for daily expenses. Feng Delin of the 28th Division did not allow the Guard Brigade to occupy Fengtian's finances. Zhang Hanqing also made bold claims that he would "responsible for his own profits and losses." Now is the time to see the truth.
A team of nearly 10,000 people needs to eat, pay, and clothe themselves, and nothing can be done without money. Feeding pigs and raising chickens as a side job can provide food and clothing, but it is not the original intention of establishing this army. To compete with the Japanese, it is not enough to rely on opportunism. That relies on real skill and strength. Even Zhu Yuanzhang knew the principle of "building walls high and accumulating grain widely". If he wanted to make a difference in this era, economic strength was the first priority. In a word, in the Communist era, war burned not oil, but money.
In Zhang Hanqing’s mind, an increase in gross national product does not necessarily lead to an increase in national strength and status. The reason is simple: in the late Qing Dynasty, China's GDP ranked first in the world, but it still suffered repeated defeats and ceded territory to pay compensation!
In 1936, before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, China's GDP was much higher than Japan's, about 1.9 to 2.8 times that of Japan. However, both the Japanese government and the Chinese government, as well as Western observers, believed that Japan's GDP was significantly higher than Japan's. Stronger than China.
In modern times, the status of a great power was established through war. The economic sectors most closely related to the war were industry and transportation.
The book "The Rise and Fall of Great Powers" believes that the economic aggregate itself is not of much significance. "The material output of hundreds of millions of farmers can eclipse the output of 5 million workers, but because most of their production has been consumed, it is far from sufficient." It was impossible to form surplus wealth or a decisive military strike force. Britain was strong in 1850. It was strong because of its modern, wealth-creating industry and all the benefits derived from it." In a war, whether the country can produce enough military supplies and transport these military supplies to the front line in time is an important factor in determining the outcome of the war. This is also in line with Mao Zedong’s military strategy of “concentrating superior forces to attack the enemy”.
To be honest, China's small-scale peasant economy has been conducive to governance for a long time. Throughout Chinese history, as long as farmers had land to farm and could live a self-sufficient life, the change of dynasties became almost impossible. Zhang Hanqing, who has been popularizing Marxist political economics education from middle school to master's degree, can deeply understand the meaning of "agriculture for stability, industry for development, and commerce for prosperity" after returning to the past.
China is too poor. While Chinese farmers were still struggling for a sliver of rations with their backs to the earth, radios had become popular in the United States, and the world's largest number of cars and tractors were in use. Whether it is the representative of the electronics industry or the pillar of the machinery industry, the United States is far behind China.
China’s arable area is too small, or there is too little land available to Chinese farmers because of monopolies and land mergers.
In the early years of the Republic of China, the phenomenon of land annexation in Northeast China was very serious. In rural areas, the fields in a village are often occupied by one family or several larger landowners. Landless farmers may work as long-term workers and accept exploitation by their employers, or they may have the opportunity to move to the city and become factory workers. Some even go to the mountains to become bandits and do business without capital. Once there is disagreement, they will return home to farm or directly convert from bandits to soldiers, and then the cycle starts again. This is also an important reason why banditry was prevalent in Northeast China during the Republic of China and was repeatedly banned.
Is there any way to deal with these bandits once and for all? Zhang Hanqing naturally thought of the practices of the ruling party in later generations: divide the land and attack local tyrants! In fact, this approach is very successful, and history has proven it time and again. If you think about the fact that from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang onwards, peasant uprisings in all dynasties in China have been based on the temptation of "dividing grain and farmland", you will know how high a position that piece of land has in the hearts of the Chinese people!
In fact, as long as they have food to eat, how many people are really willing to become bandits? Because land is concentrated in the hands of landlords, they form the ruling basis of the central and even local governments. Landowners endlessly squeeze the value of the surplus labor of long-term workers, and some will squander it all again. In addition to increasing social instability, they have made little contribution to the progress of the country. When the former Soviet Union was founded, it used peaceful redemption methods to gain economic control. Later, before and after the founding of New China, it used armed struggle to seize land from landlords. However, it is impossible for Zhang Hanqing to use force to confiscate land. Doing so would immediately plunge him and his father's government into chaos. Without a capable political party and the corresponding educated manpower base to complete the fight against big households, A drastic move—what if you fall down in a fight? Who will govern?
But the Fengtian military government also did not have the ability to redeem these fields and distribute them to landless peasants like the Soviet Union did in later generations. All they have is the barrel of a gun! Zhang Hanqing naturally thought of "guns"There is a famous saying that political power comes out of the child. Yes, with this thing, the government has the final say on what to do!
The government cannot offend all the landlords by forcibly dividing the land by taking advantage of the big households - some of the more enlightened landlords are the wealth of the Northeast. Many of them traveled to Guandong with their families because of poverty, and earned their wealth with their blood, sweat and wisdom. Coming to today's hard-won family fortune, Northeast China is about to carry out large-scale economic construction, which requires a large number of such talents to be liberated from the land and unleash their potential talents. The government should guide rather than force nationalization and then make a big pot of rice. This is actually a huge waste of resources and a new injustice.
Like the "big eaters" of later generations, a large number of landless or landless peasants can be attracted to join, and the so-called revolutionary success will be achieved in the short term, but its sequelae will only be discovered decades later. It will hinder productivity. The later "Household Responsibility System" was a large-scale revision of this policy. Why bother!
The government must not provide money because there is no money, but the government must have money. This seems to be an endless loop.
Farmers must be allocated land. This is the basis for establishing a foothold in Northeast China. However, a loose, comfortable and autonomous rural life has no immediate effect on increasing national strength, and the current situation is that the vast majority of farmers have no land or little land.
what to do?
After thinking about it for a long time since time travel, Zhang Hanqing gradually formed an idea: the government uses the "credit" method to forcefully purchase excess land from landlords and distribute it to farmers with little or no land. After a certain period of time (he The expectation is that the principal will be repaid in 10 or 20 years. What he wants now is to concentrate all the power of Fengtian and in the future all Northeast China: human, financial and material resources to establish dozens or even hundreds of large and extra-large factories and mines monopolized by the government to complete the primitive accumulation of industry! This is somewhat borrowed from the later generations' "using agriculture to supplement industry", which was fully cited in China at the beginning of the founding of the former Soviet Union and after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although it is a bit cruel, it is necessary for backward and poor countries to embark on the road to modernity as soon as possible. The best way. Just imagine how much of the credit for Japan's economic boom after the war belongs to the chaebols directly funded by the government - Panasonic, Nippon Electric, Toyota South Korea's ability to squeeze into the ranks of industrialized powers in a corner of East Asia is also inseparable from the so-called Four Koreas. Hyundai, Kia, Samsung, Daewoo, the pillars of large industry
What should we do if the big landowners don’t agree? tax! Based on ten acres per capita, it is a weak tax, with one draw per ten; thereafter, there will be one level for every ten acres, and the tax will be increased by 50% compared to the previous stage. According to the personal income adjustment tax method of later generations, Zhang Hanqing established the land harvest adjustment tax.
On the contrary, landowners who take the initiative to "lease" their land to the government will begin to receive a certain amount of interest after five years - the government should be rich by then, and repaying this interest should not be a problem. To put it bluntly, this method means spending money to eat and borrow money to develop, but from an economic point of view, it is feasible.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to owe the government credit. Creditors can also have another option, which is to convert all or part of the government debt into shares and invest it in the construction of government-invested industrial enterprises, factories and mines. You can obtain interest every year by borrowing, or you can become one of the shareholders of the company by buying shares. This is equivalent to using the government to borrow private capital to complete industrial development. In this way, society's idle resources can be greatly mobilized and marketized to the maximum extent. In economic terms, it is called expanded reproduction.
Compared with the state-planned economic system in China during the Maoist era, there is no doubt that the market economic system with strong state support implemented by Japan and South Korea is superior. This is also the main reason for the rise of the Four Asian Tigers. However, compared with the common weak government intervention model in Western countries, as a latecomer country, their governments consider more strategic issues such as industrial development layout and industrial development sequence, and are much more deeply involved in the economy. For example, after the war, in order to get out of the predicament as soon as possible, the Japanese government first formulated preferential economic policies, followed closely by South Korea. It first met the needs of basic industries such as steel and coal mines and solved the bottleneck problem of economic development, and then formulated a timely plan to double the national economy. The plan——similar to China's five-year plan, guides the industry to make large-scale investments in key heavy chemical industries and electronics industries and provides full support. This policy has enabled South Korea to achieve outstanding results among the "Four Little Dragons".
In any case, the foundation of Japan and South Korea after the war was good. Unlike China now, the industry is basically zero, and a limited number of clubs were established by the Japanese. Even so, the situation in Northeast China is much better than that in Guannei. In a word, other parts of China are poorer and more backward.
Zhang Hanqing is determined to build a complete economic system from scratch, but at present, he has a very profound understanding of the meaning of "liberating China's farmers, liberating China's productive forces, and liberating China." The source of funds for industrial development must come from agriculture. The task of liberating farmers begins with land reform.
After obtaining Zhang Zuolin's permission and surrounded by a group of think tanks, Zhang Hanqing entered the Xinmin area in northern Feng Province as a prince to carry out the famous "Xinmin Land Reform" pilot in history. These new measures he wanted to take, as well as subsequent "disarmament" or party building, the new and old Fengjun top brass all watched with suspicion and caution, but they gave him few constraints on his actions.

Chapter 192 New People’s Land Reform
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Xinmin County, a large county 60 kilometers away from Fengtian, has never been the focus of attention from all parties. This "noble place" where Zhang Zuolin was recruited and transformed from a beard to a soldier eating imperial food and then rose up amidst the turbulent changes in the early years of the Republic of China has to accept the rise of the next generation.
There were rumors that before he became successful, Marshal Zhang was asked by the Xinmin prefect why he was recruited. Zhang Zuolin replied: "For promotion and wealth." Now, his eldest son wants to clear up the rumors and bring honor to his father.
There are some considerations in choosing Xinmin: there is a direct railway to Fengtian Provincial City. Although it was built by the Japanese, it was also the earliest railway built in Northeast China except for the Middle East Road. Because the transportation is convenient and it is close to the provincial capital, it can take care of family, military management and administrative work. You know, newlyweds are a good time for young couples to miss each other. In doing so, they can take care of both family and career.
Secondly, there are some considerations: placing the Guards Brigade at the forefront of the struggle between Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin will provide strong support to the 27th Division; Some people in the city were hostile to his sudden rise - Zhang Hanqing's rise was too fast to adapt to such a force that was independent of the 27th Division.
The reason why Zhang Hanqing is so enthusiastic and insists on carrying out this high-risk experiment when the foundation is unstable - he is confident but others do not think so - is because he is eager to have his own voice in politics. His foundation is very shallow. Up to now, he is only a senior counselor in name only in the Warlord's Office. As for the people who follow him, especially a bunch of writers, they have no power or position.
To make one's voice heard in politics, it is definitely not possible without a group of people. Even future generations will promote team spirit when doing big things. Therefore, as the general person in charge of the land reform experiment, Zhang Hanqing was also trying to replace the original one with a new administrative system. This new system was the prototype of centralization.
The original county magistrate and deputy magistrate have been replaced by his people. He is also using this opportunity to train his future civil service system and test their abilities.
Since August 20, rumors have spread in the streets, alleys, and villages near and far that the government will allocate land to farmers for free. Although some large landowners tried their best to tell the difference, the rumors were confirmed to be true when the land working group arranged by Zhang Hanqing went deep into every village in the county and began to publicize the Xinmin land reform to all walks of life. The new county magistrate Xiao Zhang is really going to get free land for the people! This news revived the earth like a spring breeze and spread it from mouth to mouth among the people of Xinmin.
Who is County Magistrate Xiao Zhang? That was the eldest son of the military governor and patrol envoy, a man who kept his word! Didn't he lead his men to annihilate more than 3,000 prairie beards some time ago? I heard from businessmen from the Zhengjiatun area that the corpses were burned one after another, causing thick smoke to fill the sky above Zhengjiatun! The living Husbands did not let them have free time. I heard that some of them were driven to build horse farms, and others were driven to build ditches and water conservancy projects. How could they be transformed into human beings through labor? This gang of harmful people will be able to get some relief now!
Zhang Hanqing is actually not the county magistrate, but an assistant county magistrate, but he has another self-proclaimed title of "Chairman of the Xinmin Land Reform Committee". The vice-chairmen are Guo Songling and Wang Yizhe. This committee consists of the Women's Movement Committee, whose director is Han Shuxiu; the Land Dispute Mediation and Judiciary Committee, whose director is Zhang Hanqing's secretary Wu Jiaxiang; the Publicity Committee, whose director is Zhu Guangmu; and the Executive Committee Chairman's Committee, which is the bulk of the work and is concurrently held by Guo Songling. , which consists of four groups: measurement, classification, registration, and inventory; a policy committee, concurrently served by Wang Yizhe, is responsible for summarizing, correcting, and forming systematic documents for the entire land reform action.
The reason why he was able to carry out this unprecedented movement was based on a theory, which was also the dream of "realizing land to the tiller" promoted by the Republic of China. The government spends money to "purchase" fields from landlords and distribute them to farmers "for free", so what else is going on? Who dares to say anything!
The autumn harvest will be in one month, and the working group’s propaganda is to allocate the land before the autumn harvest. This is a big job. Zhang Hanqing had many ideas as to why he wanted to do this.
The Republic of China was only a few years old, and many rules and systems are imperfect, especially in rural areas. Many landowners have secretly joined forces with government authorities to make a big fuss about the size of their land. There are many who use good quality as substandard and conceal land in order to pay less land tax. Since the "New Civilian Land Reform" was more or less unfavorable to landowners in many places, Zhang Hanqing was worried that some people would temporarily give up ownership of some fields after the autumn harvest to avoid taxes due to concerns about taxation. However, when facing crops that are about to be harvested, these people will not resort to this tactic, but will make it convenient for the working group of the Land Reform Committee to measure the land and evaluate the quality of the land.
In fact, there is a more special reason that has not been explained, that is, Xiao Zhang also wants to clean up this time.?Get some benefits. The various expenditures and production investments of "converting the military to civilians" were too great. Now that he can make a fortune, how can he let go of these easily obtained lands?
The main methods of “New People’s Land Reform” are:
1. It is clearly stipulated in the law that the ownership of land belongs to the state, and the Xinmin County Government recognizes the current use status (priority of use rights) of land legally owned by individuals. The governments at the township and village levels in the Xinmin area have established "Land Reform Committees", which are responsible for tasks such as measuring land, assessing land prices, registering on a per capita basis, and receiving "Land Use Certificates". Depending on the land conditions of the new people, all cultivated land is divided into three grades: upper grade, medium grade and poor grade. The tax is calculated based on the output value of medium land, 1.2 times for superior land, and 20% for inferior land. The registered real estate status will be reviewed in the following year. If it is correct, it will not be changed during the measurement and allocation cycle (10 years) to reduce the workload.
2. The limit on individual land ownership is based on 5 acres per capita. If farmers’ original land does not exceed this amount, this part will be taxed at a rate of 10%; the part made up by the government will be taxed at a rate of 20%. There are two options for the remaining 5 acres that exceed the legal limit: one is to be compulsorily purchased by the Xinmin County Government in the form of redemption (the price base at the beginning of 1916 was about 20 yuan/standard land mu), and the required costs are amortized over 10 years. Repay principal and interest. ——This is actually a borrowed-from-the-chicken-egg idea: the autonomous government does not spend any money, but gets land taxes in advance as fiscal revenue to support industry, and then uses industrial income taxes to amortize the interest amount in installments. Later, appropriate measures were taken to reduce the amount of government debt through currency depreciation, or the government issued bonds to collect funds and other extraordinary measures in extraordinary times. This is called agriculture subsidizing industry, and industry feeding back agriculture. The second is to levy taxes according to grades, with a 20% tax on areas not exceeding 5 acres, and a 25% tax on areas over 5 acres and under 10 acres, which gradually increase cumulatively, with the highest limit being 50%. Based on the harvest conditions at that time, at this point, it was basically unbearable. It is estimated that the big landowners would shed tears and liquidate their positions.
3. For currently landless farmers and reformed unemployed persons (bandits with lighter crimes), the Xinmin County Government will allocate a converted standard land of 5 acres per capita, but must collect about ten acres of land within five years. Second, the agricultural tax has dropped to 10% since the sixth year. The agricultural tax here is currently paid in kind, and its level is based on the standard output of an ordinary acre of land in the Xinmin area, and then the amount of tax that needs to be paid is calculated in proportion. Because the currency conditions in the Northeast vary widely, in the early days, as a pilot project of land reform, the Xinmin first established the Grain Bureau, and the grain collected that year was sold by the policy. Because of the inconvenience of transportation, some farmers also sold their surplus grain to the Grain Bureau. bureau. The Grain Bureau reunified and sold grain at high prices outside the customs and abroad to obtain greater profits. This method greatly increased the government's revenue, and collecting grain was more affordable than collecting money - because the price of grain outside the customs had increased. Later, after the land reform was popularized, grain in the three northeastern provinces could not be sold elsewhere for a long time, and the government also cracked down on grain exports, allowing the government to monopolize the sale of grain and increase investment in industry——the author was still there in the 1980s. This situation happened in my hometown, so the protagonist Zhang Hanqing can think of this method, and I will give the author extra points as appropriate.
4. In order to encourage the development of wasteland, the government also provides an initial five-year tax exemption policy to farmers who take the initiative to open up wasteland, and appropriately provides agricultural supplies and agricultural tools relief to the wasteland openers. After that, the tax rate will be restored to the same level as that of the individual's original land. ——Pay an agricultural tax of 10% of the land harvest. Of course, the excess will still be dealt with in accordance with Act 2.
5. The Agrarian Reform Commission makes every effort to purchase livestock for the convenience of neighbors, and farm tools and livestock are sold or rented in each township and village. The rent is based on 10% of the harvest of an ordinary medium-sized field. For those who do not want to rent out but cannot afford to purchase livestock, the Land Reform Commission can give them credit in advance, but the land tax per installment will jump to 50%. There are thousands of war horses here that were injured during the original suppression of bandits. After recovering from their injuries, they could no longer be used as war horses and were repurposed for agricultural use - Zhang Hanqing made another fortune from them.
6. The Xinmin County Government allows the leasing and employment of land, but does not allow the transfer and sale of land. Two thousand years of experience have proven that if the door is opened to land annexation, a group of people with bright minds will always find it. Even if each dynasty was founded with the slogan of "equal land and no grain" as the slogan to overthrow the old regime, they would eventually fall in the tide of peasant uprisings that resulted in the loss of land due to land annexation and thus displacement.
Of course, after entering an industrialized society, the use of land still needs to be intensified. Zhang Hanqing is well aware of the disadvantages of equalizing land, but the current economic level has not developed to that point, and the method of "equalizing land" can win the hearts of the people. In the absence of other sources of livelihood, no one will voluntarily give up the land they own; under the government's strict laws, high progressive tax rates will also make people who have the opportunity to purchase more than 5 acres of land per capita think twice before doing so.
This will, to a certain extent, avoid the desire of wealthy people for land annexation. Of course, a certain degree of policy support will be given to those who actively open up wasteland. Thus, in the land of Xinmin, a vigorous land reform movement began. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The reform movement has begun. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 193 County Magistrate Xiao Zhang’s Toughness
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
In order to ensure that each land allottee has the real right to use the land, the Xinmin County Government issued an order stating that any landowner (landowner) who obstructs or conceals the land reform decree will have his or her excess farm income confiscated once discovered. , and shall be fined no less than 3 to 10 times the unit price of the land incurred and at least no less than 100 yuan, accumulated since the second half of 1916. Those who resist violently and conceal a large amount of property are considered serious cases. Once reported, they will be severely fined or even sentenced to death, and the property will be confiscated at the same time.
As soon as the decree came out, the whole county was shocked.
Everyone knows the background of County Magistrate Xiao Zhang. Not much is known about his past. After all, he has been living in his hometown or the provincial capital of Fengtian. However, during this period, County Magistrate Xiao Zhang achieved great success in suppressing the bandits with his student army. It is said that the killings resulted in rivers of blood and heads rolling in. Naturally, people were still somewhat afraid of his decree, and besides, it did no harm to the vast majority of people. ah.
In order to solve the worries of enlisted soldiers, Zhang Hanqing even issued a decree: all family members of soldiers serving in the army can receive 5 acres of middle- and upper-class land provided by the local government for free, and no taxes are required during the service period. This measure not only enhanced the enthusiasm of Northeastern people to join the army, but also unprecedentedly improved the status of soldiers.
Hundreds of land reform propaganda teams organized by Zhang Hanqing went through villages and households to convey the policy to the grassroots. The majority of landless farmers wholeheartedly support this government decree. Although the initial taxes were a bit higher, the land reform law clearly stated that farmers only had a single tax category of "land tax". Compared with the previous exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, this high tax rate was not as straightforward and attractive as it was, although it seemed that the tax rate was high. Some, but they are transparent and completely and effectively eliminate the endless "Ten Thousand Taxes of the Republic of China" and corruption opportunities.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Doing is is a?return to the government. This will greatly change the trend of land transfer to landowners in Northeast China, and make people truly realize the role of the government. Zhang Hanqing did not dare to say that he was the savior, but he wholeheartedly recognized the simple thinking of "land to the tiller". Countless peasant uprisings in history were all about fighting for their own two acres of thin farmland. The government has facilitated farmers' wishes, and farmers naturally have a favorable impression of the government. This is actually a simple thing, but in this era, countless politicians have tried their best to fail to achieve it.
Another major historical change accompanying the "New People's Land Reform" was the implementation of "household responsibility for production". This policy is essentially a guarantee for farmers: on the basis of the land they own, farmers with spare capacity are encouraged to contract excess local land. The state will not interfere with their planting conditions, but will only use the local agricultural products——grain income of that year. Agricultural taxes (payment of grain or currency) are levied at the same price to encourage land reclamation.
Some bandits and vagrants who were originally forced to go to Liangshan on the border between Kyrgyzstan, Fengxiang and Mongolia gradually returned to their hometowns under the attraction of the land reform policy. The government also kept its word and distributed land for free in accordance with regulations. Not only that, the government also sold seeds on credit to those who were really poor.
Landless people and enslaved tenants saw hope. Those who were forced to go up the mountain to make beards because of their livelihood also had the desire to be conscientious after hearing the news. After all, not many people were determined to become kings. In the long run, not only will the government and the people benefit greatly, but it will also be beneficial to social stability.
But landowners, especially big landowners, cannot tolerate this policy. These figures, who had always had some connections with the big and small bureaucrats in Fengtian and even with Zhang Zuolin, resolutely resisted the raging land reform movement such as Zhang Hanqing and others. Hu Chaibangzi from Sandaogangzi Township was the most important.
Hu Chaibangzi’s surname is not Hu, but Huang, ranking third in the family. His ancestors originally fled from Linzi, Shandong Province. When his ancestors led the family to Guandong, he was born on a simple bed made of a row of Huchai Bangzi, so his nickname was Huchai Bangzi. But in his generation, he was very impressive. Not only did he run several shops, but he also had a great reputation in the provincial capital of Fengtian. Even the gold jewelry Zhang Hanqing used for his wedding was bought from his eldest brother's store.
In traditional Chinese thought, when people make a fortune, the first thing they do is not how to expand reproduction, but to purchase land on a large scale. He is also fair, and he can dispose of the newly acquired fields according to market conditions. He is also very influential in the countryside. He is known as Huang Sanye and nicknamed Huang Dashanren. However, no matter how good a person is, if he accumulates a lot of land, it will inevitably affect the implementation of government decrees.
In total, he has thousands of acres of land under his name. In Sandaogangzi Township, land reform along the way has encountered great difficulties.
Zhang Hanqing is very interested in being able to win the New People's Land Reform pilot and personally preside over it. All life plans and the great cause of rejuvenating the country must start from here, so he set the tone early: the New People's Land Reform must be successful! Of course, he is not fighting alone, the Guard Brigade is his strongest support! With force and reputation as a young marshal, he completelyThe Buddha blocks the **, and the God blocks the killing God!
Therefore, on his one-third-acre land, there are really not many people who dare to confront him head-on. It is not that Huang Sanye does not support it, but he has a saying: "This land is the family property earned by the hard work of my father and son. , never bullied the neighbors in their business transactions, and often helped the poor in times of disaster. If these fields had not been bought by my Huang family, they would have been sold to others sooner or later by those prodigal sons. Over the years, my Huang family has never paid less. Land-sharing tax. The government just took away my land, and I don’t accept it!”
He told the truth. The working group and publicity group also asked many local people, and they all praised Mr. Huang. The working group also had difficulties with such an "enlightened" country squire. Speaking of background, there is no one behind Mr. Huang: the vice president of Fengtian Chamber of Commerce is his eldest brother; the director of Fengtian Civil Affairs Department is his second brother; he himself is also the mayor of Sandaogangzi Township. He has always had no bad deeds, and his relatives and relatives have inextricably linked networks with the provincial and county towns. There is no reason to forcibly acquire land just because of Zhang Hanqing's order, which is a bit bullying and inconsistent with Zhang Hanqing's original intention of uniting industry and commerce.
So it is inevitable that the work stationed here will stagnate. Seeing that Huang Sanye was still standing, some other landowners took advantage of the situation and firmly disagreed with the land distribution. For a time, the land reform movement in Sandaogangzi lagged far behind.
In this regard, Zhang Hanqing complained quite a lot: those who implement the decree have too many scruples. This is one of the main reasons why the government decree has not been implemented, and it also contains the seeds of wavering, personal changes and even distortion of the decree. In a big way, this is a challenge to his fledgling exercise of power and is related to his prestige.
How to make administrative staff loyal to their duties instead of being intimidated by difficulties? Zhang Hanqing personally visited Sandao Post and conducted on-site criticism and mobilization and encouragement meetings for the working groups stationed here. The young marshal came in person, full of murderous intent.
"I know that you are facing some difficulties now, and you also have many concerns. You also think that we are all fellow villagers and acquaintances going back to the top, so you are afraid of backlash, fear of chaos, and fear of some top-down relationships, but You are not afraid that the law will not be implemented, and you are not afraid of my disappointment. This is really unreasonable!
The new people’s land reform has been approved by the Fengtian Provincial Government. The new people’s land reform will be piloted and it will play a role in leading from one point to another. In the future, not only Xinmin, not only Fengtian, but the entire Northeast and all of China will implement such a policy. Why?
Let the people have food to eat! To fulfill our promise of ‘land to the tiller’! Our government is for the broad masses of the people, not just a small group of people. It now seems that implementing this policy may involve the interests of a small group of people, but it is worth it. From a government perspective, this is necessary. What we want is a society that reduces the polarization between rich and poor. From a development perspective, this is a necessary pain. In the future, when the land income is distributed, the income from these lands will definitely be higher than now. Whether they see it or not, the law must be obeyed.
As for dissatisfaction and backlash, as long as it is a policy, there will always be some people whose interests are not fully reflected. There is no doubt about this. When we arrange for your working group to go to the countryside, you must make things clear so that the vast majority of the people will support this policy, and let a small number of landowners who do not support or even resist this policy realize that they must actively cooperate with the government's work , there will be benefits in the future; if you are negative or hinder the government, you will be punished!
As for the rebound or resistance, I have something to say first, and we will deal with it in accordance with the law first! It is necessary to crack down hard, quickly and severely on any force that commits crimes. It is necessary to catch a group of typical flies, but it is also necessary to catch a few tigers. Only in this way can it have deterrence, influence and greatly promote the movement. Develop!
Of course, we must also carry out our work strategically, convince people with reason, be polite before fighting, and try to use peaceful means to implement the decree. Landowners who feel their interests have been infringed upon are allowed to take the matter to court and the court will decide. "
When the conversation changed, Zhang Hanqing's murderous aura was revealed. After all, he was fighting his way through a pile of dead people, and his aura was strong: "Your mission is to immediately solve the problems encountered at work, and you are not allowed to give up your duties for any reason or excuse!"
As an example to scare the monkeys, Zhang Hanqing decisively ordered the working group: "Publish an ultimatum to the Huang family and give them three days to complete the account books, distribution and land deeds of the excess land, otherwise the working group will implement our laws and comply with regulations." Give him the punishment he deserves!"
??This way, Mr. Huang is like being beaten by frost, and the Huang family is like losing an heir. The working group's clear words made them understand that this time they were really serious about it! Mr. Huang wanted to use his network to create trouble for Zhang Hanqing, but it was too late. He didn't dare to make any big move. How could he know if the young marshal was targeting his family and wanted them to set an example? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 194 Using tricks

“Hey, we can’t avoid the disaster. County Magistrate Xiao Zhang is the son of the governor and governor of Fengtian, and he has a large number of troops. As long as he is in Fengtian, there will be no place to cry to death, so just accept your fate! Based on the standard of five acres of land per capita, he has too much extra land. According to the rules, the additional three thousand acres of land will be taxed at a cumulative rate of 50%. Compared with the previous tax of only 10%, this season is equivalent to a reduction of nearly 10,000 yuan, and there is only half a month left. !
Huang Sanye lowered his head feebly and ordered his servants with sorrow: "Hand over all the land deeds. These are things on the surface and cannot be hidden." His housekeeper also wanted to hide some fields. , Huang Sanye waved his hand: "They have all been targeted, and they are very ruthless in investigating the land. It is impossible to hide the terra nullius from the working group."
But the steward frowned and said, "Sir, didn't you say that the excess land should be distributed by the public? Why don't we allocate part of the land to the tenants first, and their tax is only 10%, so that the land in our name We won’t lose too much, we just need to give these idiots some benefits. After a while, when the storm has passed, we will ask the tenants for the land back, and I’m afraid they won’t dare not listen.”
Mr. Huang's eyes lit up, "What a great idea! As long as I, Mr. Huang, are here, who dares not to listen obediently? Besides, as long as I don't hand over the land deed, no one can move away from this land. It still belongs to me. You can give me three yuan immediately." Invite the elders from the villages of Tun, Baoyanling, Gangnan and Gangqian and ask them to help negotiate the land allocation."
He has inextricably linked relationships with these patriarchs, including business partners and in-law relationships. Even without him Huang San, there are still eldest and second brothers in the provincial capital. The Huang family is a big family with a rich background.
That night, facing the crowd gathered together, Mr. Huang Sanye cleared his throat and said loudly: "Fellow fellow villagers, Hu Chaibangzi's achievements today are due to the hard work of the Huang family, young and old. At these three posts, all the villagers can see it. There is no man in the Huang family who bullies the market, and no daughter in the Huang family has remarried. Even in front of the ancestors, I dare to say that our Huang family is worthy of our ancestors and worthy of the villagers. They are.
“But the government wants to carry out land reform, divide the land, and ask us to hand over the excess farmland. If you have to pay back the land fee within ten years, it’s better to grab it right away! The Beijing government doesn't recognize any of these laws. It's a thing created by County Magistrate Xiao Zhang himself. I guess it will be dispersed in a few days, otherwise the spittle of protests from all over the country will drown him out.
But now that the limelight is very tight, I can only smooth over County Magistrate Xiao Zhang and not make him anxious. He is the governor's son and cannot afford to offend him. I, Huang San, hereby implore the fellow villagers to help me solve my urgent need first. The land in each village will be temporarily under the name of each village. Everyone can help divide the land in each village. If there is really no way out, the extra part will be divided. , I will hand it over to the public.
"Don't think that Mr. Zhang really wants to give land to the landless people for free. This is a good thing that falls from the sky. Where can you find it?" I heard from my brothers in the provincial capital that the governor wanted to expand and raise troops and had no money to do this. After handing over these lands, no one will be able to fish them out; they will all be sold by him to buy arms! Folks in my hometown, why should we take advantage of outsiders?
I, Huang San, can promise that as long as your relatives insist that the land is yours, I, Huang San, will never let you suffer. In the future, I will reward him with one liter and five measures of millet for every acre of land. And if anyone wants to take advantage of the troubled waters and really thinks that he can get a piece of land and trust the working group, don't blame me, Huang San, for ignoring the face of the villagers in the future! The working group will leave. My Huang San and your families are all in Sandaogangzi! "
Intimidated by Mr. Huang's habitual prestige, the village elders also gave him enough face: "Master Huang is eager for public justice and everyone respects him from the bottom of his heart. If the public is doing whatever they want, we will naturally not follow them. Let's go back Just tell your relatives that each person without land will get 5 acres, and those with less land will collect 5 acres, and the remaining part will be placed in the name of the ancestral temple." Face?!”
After receiving everyone's "help", Huang Sanye was satisfied: his 3,417 acres and 0.3 acres of land were "contracted" by each village, and after removing the bulk of about 3,000 acres, he was compared with his The family, including servants, maids, mothers-in-law, and grooms, has a total of eighty-nine people, which is not enough to cover 5 acres per person. According to the law, Mr. Huang and his family have to rely on government relief!
Maybe it’s because Mr. Huang is so prestigious here, but no matter how the working group tries to persuade him, villagers from several villages all say in unison: “The land under our name belongs to us and has nothing to do with Mr. Huang.” The third master opened his hands and expressed to the working group: "My Huang family only has such a small amount of land and has to support eighty or ninety people. It's a sad life!"
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the trick, let alone the working group that has been here for many days. However??For this group of villagers who have been brainwashed, the working group is in trouble again.
Of course, the working group has also made achievements: under the influence of their meticulous work, the phenomenon of land hiding by landowners in Sandaogangzi has basically disappeared - it will be handed over to the public, and the principal will be returned in at least a nominal ten-year period; If it is found out, the land will not be handed over to the public, and you will have to bear high penalties. Everyone can handle this account. I heard that Hu Laoliu from Zhoutuozi Township was punished like this and was so punished that he lost all his property. He even had to sell the private land next to his ancestral grave to pay the penalty. I heard that Hu Laoliu hung himself with a rope that night. Too cruel!
Therefore, the land survey in Sandaogangzi went very smoothly and was basically consistent with the facts. However, what made the working group unhappy was that the average person in the township reached five acres of land, and basically everyone had land. Ha, Sandaogangzi entered communism early!
Just doing this is not Zhang Hanqing’s original intention: now that the area of ??cultivated land has been clarified, it will be possible to pay a little more agricultural tax, but these are simply a drop in the bucket. Zhang Hanqing's original intention was to pass land reform, on the one hand, to allow farmers to have food to eat and increase social stability; on the other hand, the government could "eat" several years of "land rent" for free and transfer the agricultural harvest to itself. Ambitious industrial production comes up. Of course, another benefit brought by this is that with less land, it can force wealthy landowners to change careers. Since agriculture cannot accommodate enough funds, should the excess be added to industry or government-led | What about industrial development? If that doesn't work, you can just deposit the money in the bank. Didn't I already set up a "Farmers Capital Credit Cooperative" waiting there? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 195 Taking advantage of the situation
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Throughout the "New People's Land Reform", Xiao Zhang did not violate any rules - paying the emperor's grain for farming and eating has been established for two thousand years. This agricultural tax was not taken away from farmers until the beginning of the 21st century. Xiao Zhang did not use coercive means to take land from landlords and fight the landlords to death like later generations, and even his descendants were discriminated against. Instead, he just settled the account with the government in a very civilized way.
It’s wrong to have more land privately! We have all entered the Republic of China, and the land belongs to all citizens. This is a premise. So if you own a lot of land, it will cause other people to be landless and lead to social instability, which is wrong in itself. What's more, Zhang Hanqing also asked the government to purchase it. Isn't that interesting? As for the fact that the money cannot be cashed in time due to limited conditions, of course you must understand that this government will never default on the debt, and there will be interest, you just have to wait.
Therefore, after hearing about Huang Sanye's "feat", Zhang Hanqing smiled slightly: It's a competition, right? I'm afraid you won't come. Since the landlords don’t give up, let’s give them another squeeze and knock them down completely! Do you look down on me, Marshal Zhang, and mock my laws? Simple. Brother, I will use you to establish your authority. How can a thousand families cry when one family cries? It just "borrows" you a little bit of land and returns you the principal and interest, but it's just a little late. Besides, I didn’t use the method of fighting local tyrants against landlords in future generations to make you lose all your money and make you suffer politically for generations. It is already merciful enough. What does being a country do? What does the government do? According to Marxist theory, that is a violent institution!
Didn’t you keep saying that you have divided all the land? Well, the Land Reform Committee has already issued many copies of the "Land Use Certificate", and now they can be issued to farmers. Do you want to use a trick? I will just follow the plan, pretend to be real, and implement it directly. Do you want to change things after the fact? no way! From now on, Xinmin and even Fengtian and the whole of China will replace the old land deeds with new "Land Use Certificates". Are the old land deeds hidden in the hands of landlords? Sorry, this is a piece of waste paper! The government even saved ten years of amortization, but it actually saved a lot of money - you took the bait voluntarily!
As for the original tenants and farmers with little land, I'm sorry. You helped the tyrants do evil and only cared about immediate profits. You deserve to suffer. If the newly "allocated" land does not have the old land deed, the government will provide it at a rate of 20 out of 10. Local taxes are levied according to local rules.
Will you not want to farm? It doesn't matter. Zhang Hanqing already has a more perfect idea: Unless you are a worker, farmer, government employee or employee in an industry, you pay taxes according to the rules of your industry and have no legitimate occupation - you are willing to work as a maid or mother-in-law for the landlord's family. Horsemen, grooms, tenants, etc. all paid a unified poll tax. This fee was equivalent to the 20% draw for 5 acres of land.
As long as the owner is willing to bear the cost.
People's hearts are selfish. On the one hand, it is the "Land Use Certificate" guaranteed by the government, which allows you to legally own a piece of land that has been dreamed of for generations, and the burden is not too heavy. I heard that it may gradually lighten in a few years; on the other hand, it is to work hard to give people Work is precarious, and depending on people's faces, people with a little bit of brains will choose the former.
When the working group announced that all existing land would receive the "Land Use Certificate" issued by the government as it is, some capable farmers who were forced to "distribute" the land felt it was a blessing. They finally had a "liberated area" The people came to their senses when they fought against the landlords and turned their backs on each other: "It's not that I want to offend Mr. Huang, it's the government that forced me to do this. Since the government doesn't recognize your land deed, Mr. Huang, brother has " "Land Use Certificate", these acres of land are now legitimately mine! You will be able to get the summer grain at your fingertips soon. You want to take it from me? There is no way! If you want to find it, go to Xiaozhang County Go long!"
All this was announced on the spot after the land survey and registration was completed. This move made everyone in the Huang family want to cry. Three thousand acres of land disappeared without a trace. According to the original decree of the Xinmin County Government and the Land Reform Committee, one acre of land was worth 20 yuan. This was a net income of 60,000 yuan! In addition, this autumn's grain harvest is bumper, but the harvest is yellow. Even if 50% of the high cumulative agricultural tax is taken away, there is still a harvest of 10,000 yuan! Mr. Huang's heart was bleeding.
But he didn’t dare to speak out. County Magistrate Xiao Zhang said that anyone who dares to deceive the working group will not only confiscate the property, but also impose a huge penalty. It is said that he can bankrupt his family. Whether he deceived the working group this time, Huang Sanye may not have enough confidence himself.
What makes Mr. Huang even more angry is what comes next.
According to the charter of the Land Reform Committee, his family’s servants also have land rights. Regardless of their previous circumstances, they can obtain a piece of land for free as long as they wish. This land is counted by Huang Sanye in his family population, and is also recognized by the government. In other words, Mr. Huang needs to give each person a piece of land to his servants. In other words, for the current harvest, except for the few acres of land in the hands of his direct wife and children, he will be "impoverished".?Loss of all land. Now, some servants of Luo Mansion are ready to make a move.
No one is born lowly and can own a piece of land for free and harvest the harvest for free. Who wouldn’t want such a good thing?
Just as the classic line in "A World Without Thieves" says: "When people's hearts are broken, it's hard to lead the team." Huang Sanye encountered such a situation. Resist? oops! I dare not mention it. Some time ago, County Magistrate Xiao Zhang led troops to kill a group of die-hards who intended to use force to resist land reform. Not only were they subject to a public trial, but those with proven guilt were ordered to be executed and all their property confiscated to serve as a warning to others. The New Deal implemented by the "Northeast King" Zhang Zuolin personally suppressed the new people, and they cried to death without any reason to go there.
If I had known better, I would have "donated" part of the property (this is Huang Sanye's opinion on Zhang Hanqing's government's "borrowing" of the property) to please others, and the remaining part could have been turned over with high taxes. But you know it’s hard to buy with money!
what to do? Is this how the entire army was "annihilated"? Mr. Huang is not a person who sits still and waits for death. From the time he took over the family business, he had to go through wind and rain to sharpen his temperament, courage, and knowledge.
It is absolutely impossible to directly confront the Sixth Young Master Xiao Zhang and the young marshal of the Governor's Mansion. With Zhang Zuolin's relationship, any direct confrontation is undesirable and will eventually bring disaster, as long as Lao Zhang is in power for one day.
Only pressure and indirect force can make Xiao Zhang restrain himself. As a young man, all the power he has comes from his father. As long as the Overseer doesn't support it, there's nothing he can do.
Isn’t his eldest brother the owner of the “Ruihuanchang” gold shop in Fengtian? Many celebrities from all walks of life in Fengtian have interacted with him. Can you find some ways to invite this little plague god to leave Xinmin? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

However, the news from the eldest brother was not good: Zhang Dashuai, who had a financial past with him, and whom he could talk to, Director Mo Dehui of the China Merchants Bureau, supported the young marshal's activities. It is said that Mo Dehui also Those who received the favor of the young marshal were also promoted by Zhang Zuolin through him. This way is blocked.
Wang Shuhan, the director of Fengtian Finance Department, is low-key but deeply trusted by Zhang Zuolin. He is somewhat unfavorable about Zhang Hanqing's actions in Xinmin, but it is impossible for him to stand up against the young marshal.
General Counselor Yang, the most popular person in the Governor's Mansion, did not agree with Zhang Hanqing's more radical style. However, what disheartened them was that the Governor had set the tone at the previous meeting of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion. Since it was a pilot, let's take a look at the reason for the belief. , and then make a decision after the season. At this time, it was hard for him to say anything.
If there are no official restrictions, basically no one can resist the young commander's actions. After waiting for a while, the day lilies are all cold, and the autumn harvest will be in ten days! This is a season's harvest, so easy to get. It can't be done before the autumn harvest. No matter how desperate Mr. Huang is, he doesn't dare to take food from everyone's hands. The law still doesn't blame everyone!
what to do?
Huang Sanye sighed at his parents' house: If I had known that handing over the land to the government would not only gain a good reputation, but also maybe I could take this opportunity to talk to the young marshal and the others to get other benefits. Besides, there would be ten years of land rent. Now, there is nothing.
"Dad, there is nothing we can do about it. Can we ask our brother-in-law? After all, he is the nominal uncle of County Magistrate Xiao Zhang, so he might be able to talk to him. If that doesn't work, we can give part of the family property to Xiao Zhang. County Magistrate, at least you can stay behind, right?"
The speaker is Mr. Huang’s precious daughter, the only daughter of his direct descendant, the jewel of his eldest son’s family, nicknamed Yanzi and maiden name Huang Wanqing. This little girl is not only good-looking, but also as smart as Old Huang. Because he had nothing to go out of, Huang Sanye loved her like a treasure. It just so happens that this little girl has a talent for business. The Huang family's account books are very organized, surpassing the accountant, so that Mr. Huang often laments that if Yanzi was not born as a girl, she would have to inherit the Huang family's mantle.
A word to wake up the dreamer. Yes, didn't Ruqing, the girl from the second family's family, marry the brother of the third concubine of the Marshal's house? Is this relationship between relatives and relatives a chance to get out of the current crisis?
It’s not that he didn’t think of it before, but that this uncle is really not a good person and doesn’t have much contact with him. Now that it is useful, let’s give it a try first. Even if it doesn't work, he can still take the opportunity to talk to the young commander.
As soon as he said it, Mr. Huang immediately left for Fengtian. This time, he brought a generous gift and planned to go directly to the Marshal's Mansion to nominate Dai Xianzhi.
Next to the towering Marshal's Mansion, at least one squad of sentries stood, not to mention the looming hidden stakes in the distance. This is Zhang Zuolin's remedial measure in view of the last assassination incident. In fact, this is just the tip of the iceberg. A mile away, a company of machine gun squadrons were stationed on remote alert. In addition, with just one phone call, the cavalry regiment of the 27th Division will arrive within ten minutes.
Looking at this posture, Mr. Huang saw that the general's mansion was no longer what he remembered. Fengtian Zhang family has such a development? He was speechless. Even though he was well-informed, under the attention of the sentry, he still walked to the concierge with a sign that said "Transportation Room" with trepidation.
The people inside were polite and asked kindly: "Who are you looking for?"
?? Mr. Huang Sanye is the third person who is three times shorter than the official. He nodded and bent down to hand over the cigarette. The person inside waved his hand and declined with a smile.
Seeing that the other party was friendly, Mr. Huang became more efficient. He said, "I want to find Mr. Dai from the Marshal's Mansion."
The people inside were surprised: "Which Mr. Dai? Tell me your name, that's not the way to go here."
Mr. Huang looked carefully: "It's Mr. Dai Xianzhi."
Another person inside laughed and said: "Who am I looking for! Dai Xianzhi is not on duty today. He lives in Xiazizi Alley, West Street. Turn right from here, go south at the second intersection, there is a wire pile and turn right again , there is a place with two red lanterns hanging on the door less than three hundred steps inside. Although the road is not easy to walk, if you ask the 'Company Commander', he will know it nine times out of ten."
The other person also laughed. Huang Sanye didn't know why, so he just laughed a few times.
After thanking him, Mr. Huang followed the instructions and saw a large house with two red lanterns hanging on it. I kept praising him in my heart: "After all, he is the yamen of a big place. He is reasonable and can even give directions so clearly. This Dai Xianzhi seems to be quite popular, otherwise how could these people know his home so clearly!" "
Mr. Huang put down the gift, gently pulled the door knocker, and knocked a few times. See no movement???He thought about how deep the wealthy house was, maybe he couldn't hear it inside, so he knocked a few more times.
Then I heard a woman giggling and replying: "It's so damn loud! It's broad daylight and I'm not afraid of the neighbors hearing it!"
Huang Sanye was puzzled: "I just came to visit Xiao Dai and knock on the door. Why am I afraid of this and that? I'm sorry that the people in Fengtian Provincial City are of such high quality and they are afraid of disturbing the people when they act. It's not like in our village, a loud fart It can be spread from the east end to the west end.”
While talking, the side door opened with a creak, revealing a woman's head. I saw her beautiful eyebrows, slim figure, a light layer of red lipstick on her mouth, spring on her face, and a smile on her lips. She was only about 20 years old. She only glanced at Mr. Huang and said, "Is it you?"
Mr. Huang Sanye smiled and said, "It's me." In Sandaogang, except for his pure and lovely daughter, there is no one with such a mark. He always has a good mood towards beauties.
The woman suddenly changed her expression and asked, "Who are you?"
Mr. Huang Sanye was confused by her surprise. He said a little awkwardly: "I came from Xinmin Sandaogangzi to talk to Mr. Dai Xianzhi about something important."
The woman looked at Mr. Huang, who was dressed like a country man, and she felt contempt in her heart: "Countryman!" She still asked in a nonchalant manner: "He is not at home! What can I do for you?"
Mr. Huang Sanye looked at this coquettish and exposed woman, and based on his many years of experience in dealing with people, he judged that she must not be a good family. However, at this moment, he had no interest in continuing to discern human feelings. He just quickly announced his identity: "Your young mistress Ruqing is my niece." It was his instinct to make a prompt decision. As Dai Xianzhi, of course he should be a "Master", but around his women, he has to stand up and call himself the second master of his in-laws. This cannot be wrong.
As expected, the woman was stunned for a moment, a little restrained. But after a moment, she said angrily: "My young lady's house is not here, you are looking at the wrong place." After that, she closed the door.
Mr. Huang hurriedly blocked the door and said, "Don't Dai Xianzhi live here? I'll wait for him."
Although he can’t figure out the identity of this woman, Dai Xianzhi is his niece-in-law. Even if his home is an outer room, he can get a seat, right? It doesn't matter if he is rejected alone like this.
The woman blushed and said, "This is not his home. You can look elsewhere. What will it look like at the door?!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 197 Yin

There was a group of people walking towards us from a distance, led by a young man. He looked excited and talked non-stop to a younger man behind him. The young man was very handsome. He nodded and smiled while talking to a few people next to him with great interest. However, from the looks of the people around him, the young man must have a distinguished status. Behind him were a bunch of tough men, who looked like bodyguards at first glance.
Seeing this group of people, the woman was a little surprised, especially when she saw the young man at the head and the young man, her expression changed. Following his eyes, Mr. Huang also saw this group of people.
The young man at the head seemed a little dissatisfied with him and gave him a hard look. Mr. Huang was wondering, how could I have offended him? It seemed like I had never masked myself before? But I saw the young man gestured to the young man and said, "Cousin, please", and someone opened the door for him. The woman's initially seemingly surprised expression suddenly turned enthusiastic. She put aside Mr. Huang and pulled the young man in, smiling sweetly and saying, "I didn't expect my cousin to come. No wonder my sister-in-law was woken up by magpies early in the morning. It turns out that birds understand human nature and know that today there are many distinguished guests."
A group of people filed in, and two handsome men held the door. The door slammed shut and they ignored Mr. Huang again.
Listening to the laughter coming from time to time inside, Huang Sanye felt strange in his heart: It was obviously Dai Xianzhi’s room, as can be seen from the woman’s behavior just now. But both of them called the young man "cousin", so what's going on?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out?is the wife of Dai Xianzhi, but she knows she is the second master but doesn’t give him any face, isn’t she afraid that Dai Xianzhi will be angry? Or has Lao Dai never paid attention to my wife’s natal family? I was still counting on him to help, but it seemed like this matter was going to go wrong!
He wanted to show off as an elder, but seeing the two men staring at him eagerly by the door, he wisely chose to give up. A gentleman is not in danger and does not know what is true or false, so it is better not to act rashly. Besides, the rightful owner hasn’t come yet!
Some people say that to judge whether the wait is torturous or short, it depends on whether you are inside or outside the toilet. Mr. Huang now felt like he was staying outside the toilet: the mingling of cheers and laughter inside only reflected his helplessness of being dependent on others. He was like a bereaved dog, squatting alone by a mud pile far from the gate. Waiting helplessly for the rightful owner.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Mr. Huang felt his feet were numb and his head was dizzy, a familiar figure appeared. The man looked at him from the side and suddenly said in surprise: "Isn't this the Third Master? What are you doing here?"
It is Dai Xianzhi.
Mr. Huang also recognized the man in front of him: Dai Xianzhi was only about thirty years old. He was dressed in a military uniform and his heroic figure made him look very handsome. In addition, the rifle slung on his right shoulder made him look even more handsome. Very mighty.
Huang Sanye said helplessly: "I've been here for a while, but the door doesn't let you in, so I have to stay here." At this time, Dai Xianzhi saw the two capable "doorkeepers" beside the door and asked in surprise: "Who are they?" Huang Sanye couldn't explain why.
When Dai Xianzhi approached, the two "door gods" saw that he was carrying a gun, and they became a little cautious. One was on guard, and the other stepped forward to stop him and said: "Unrelated personnel get out of the way!"
Dai Xianzhi seemed to have heard something very funny. He looked at the man and smiled wildly and said, "I have nothing to do with you? This is my house. Is there any mistake?"
The door god was unmoved and said calmly: "It might have been yours originally, but now it's not!"
Who is Dai Xianzhi? It was his true nature to be domineering, but now someone actually bullied him and acted in a more domineering manner, which made him laugh instead of being angry. He asked the man with a mocking tone: "Do you know who I am?"
The door god didn’t look at him and said calmly: “It doesn’t matter who you are, what’s important is that you can’t come in now.”
The original second-generation ancestor suddenly became a passerby. Dai Xianzhi had never encountered such a thing. He was furious, picked up his rifle and aimed at the door god: "It doesn't matter if you don't know who I am, do you know what this is?"
Unexpectedly, the door god just curled his lips and said disdainfully: "First, your bullet is not loaded; second, look at the top."
Dai Xianzhi was furious, and while taking out the bullet, he said angrily: "I'll shoot you, what are you looking at?" However, he still subconsciously raised his head and immediately took a breath of cold air.
Several jet-black spears stretched out from several places, overtly or covertly: on the porch, along the walkway, and inside the corner door. At another glance, there was a figure shaking in the distance beside him. The doorman asked calmly and jokingly: "Do you believe it or not?"Shoot, someone will shoot you on the spot? ! "
Dai Xianzhixin. He also has a military background and knows what this level of protection means. In Fengtian, it is estimated that only the Marshal, General Counselor Yang, Commander Sun, the two brigade commanders Zhang Tang, Wang Yongjiang and others can do this, and these few people are not what I can match at the moment. If he dares to make another move, it's not uncommon for him to be shot dead on the spot. Here are the rules.
Usually, he relies on his sister's identity to show off his power, but only at this moment does he feel that he is really nothing among the people in Fengtian. He was a little hesitant, but he slowly put the gun back and asked reluctantly: "Who is inside?"
"It's me!" a voice said slowly.
The door was gently opened, and it was the young man who came out. When Dai Xianzhi saw it, he shouted in shock: "Xu Laowen, why is it you?!"
The young man known as Xu Laowen sneered and said, "Why not me?"
Dai Xianzhi was furious: "What are you doing here?"
Xu Laowan smiled broadly: "This is my home! You don't seem to be allowed to ask what I do in my home, right?"
Dai Xianzhi was furious, when will Xu Laowei be able to thrive? I wanted to get angry, but when I saw the situation around me, I wisely chose to turn off the flames. He just said in a deep voice: "Xu Laowen, do you dare to trick me?"
Mr. Xu smiled sadly: "What about you, Yin?
Xu Laowei, whose real name is Xu Jing, was a colleague of Dai Xianzhi. The two are similar in age, but there is a generation gap between them. Logically speaking, Xu Jing should call Dai Xianzhi "cousin." But there was something far from an ordinary holiday between them, but a hatred for seizing his wife.
This Dai Xianzhi is the brother of the third wife of the Marshal's Mansion as mentioned by Mr. Huang Sanye, while Xu Jing is the nephew of Zhang Zuolin's fourth concubine, Mrs. Xu. Starting from the Marshal's Mansion, it is true that Xu Jing is a generation younger, and there is still some relationship between them.
"But the relationship between Chinese people is not like this, especially within this kind of noble family, there are many things that outsiders can't see through. The bad blood between Xu and Dai was originally a reflection of the overt and covert fighting in the backyard of the Marshal's mansion.
Now Mr. Huang who was watching was even more confused. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 198 Housework
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The Marshal’s Mansion is not peaceful either.
Mrs. Zhao, who was originally in charge of Zhang Zuolin's family affairs and Zhang Hanqing's aunt, Zhao, passed away early, and her second wife, Mrs. Lu, was in charge of the Zhang family's backyard. But not long after, when Mrs. Dai entered the house, something rather uneasy came over her.
Zhang Zuolin’s third concubine, Dai Xianyu, was originally the daughter-in-law of a bandit leader in Beizhen County, Liaoning Province. She was young, beautiful, graceful, and even more stunningly beautiful in a remote and remote area. Zhang Zuolin fell in love at first sight, so he entrusted Du Panlin, a famous scholar in western Liaoning, to intercede with his original husband to get his consent. Later, he used threats of power and large sums of money to lure her, forcing Dai Xianyu's former husband to reluctantly part ways with her.
Dai Xianyu was not an economical person to begin with. After being favored by his new "owner", he naturally felt that he had reached a higher level and started to suppress his anger when doing things. In 1910, Zhang Zuolin was stationed in the Tongliao and Taonan areas in northwest Liaoning. When he led his troops to pursue the enemy, he sent his patrol battalion copywriter Tao Liqing back to Taonan to take care of everything. Dai Xianyu was living in Taonan at that time. She was proud of her favor and was not satisfied with the local food and accommodation. She thought that Tao Liqing was not taking good care of her, so she planned to reprimand him face to face. As soon as Dai Xianyu got angry, Tao Liqing also became angry and immediately threw a bowl of rice at her. Therefore, after Zhang Zuolin returned from the front line, Dai Xianyu sought life and death and asked Zhang Zuolin to vent his anger on her. Zhang Zuolin didn't take this seriously, and just used a night of spring breeze to soothe the third aunt's injured heart.
Mrs. Lu is a traditional conservative woman who advocates family and everything goes well, and she never uses the title of second wife to pressure others, so the backyard of the Zhang family can be much calmer under her management. But Dai Xianyu doesn't think so. She thinks that in several rooms, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. She didn't dare to do anything excessive to Mrs. Lu, but when Mrs. Xu, who was "smaller" than her, came in, her suppressed strength began to burst out, and the powerless Mrs. Xu from her natal family became a receiving bag. .
Not only that, it also brings harm to the family.
As Zhang Zuolin’s status continued to rise, his relatives, friends and old friends also increased. Zhao Xixia, a clan member like Yuan Pei’s wife, became Zhang Zuolin’s personal representative. According to later generations, he was an “extraordinary and plenipotentiary representative”, and his status was very high. But Dai Xianyu has an unsatisfactory younger brother, Dai Xianzhi, who is idle all day long and does not do his job. Seeing how his uncle and uncle were getting into trouble, Dai Xianyu couldn't help but move up and down. However, Lao Zhang's employment is not all about nepotism. This guy really can't be promoted, so he has to be placed in the Marshal's Mansion as a small guard. I don't expect him to make much contribution. He just needs to order the meal on time every day. It's completely ignored. this person.
Dai Xianzhi also calls Zhang Zuolin brother-in-law, right? Because of this relationship, he also earned the honorable title of "Master Dai" in Fengtian. Because of this, Huang Gongting, director of the Fengtian Civil Affairs Department, married his daughter to him to seal the relationship with Lao Zhang, which made him even more proud. At this time, Mrs. Xu’s natal nephew appeared.
Xu Jing, like his aunt, was a dull gourd and had no merit. In addition, his aunt was not strong enough, so he also found a job in the Marshal's Mansion, working with Dai Xianzhi as a colleague. Lao Dai also heard about his sister's stay in the Marshal's Mansion, and of course he was hostile to Xu Jing. Xu Jing was originally weak and weak, and he was no match for Lao Dai, so he was often bullied. He got the nickname "Xu Laowei" from time to time.
"However, my colleagues like Xu Jing very much, not because he looks kind, but because he is blessed and has a beautiful concubine at home. According to the men who have seen it, they say it is as beautiful as flowers and jade, and it is indescribably wonderful. Bullying Xu Jing for his honesty, some of his colleagues would inevitably go to his house to "talk about everyday things". His concubine was originally a prostitute, so naturally she wouldn't keep her body as pure as Xu Jing's. When she met the right one, she would inevitably arrange a "full" body privately with her under the moonlight, but it was often just for one night.
Since there were some benefits, Xu Jing turned a blind eye. He was not going to regard her as his wife anyway, so he wanted to get the benefits first. It is said that this woman has a peculiar interest that makes men linger and forget to leave. Once she is with her, it is like a cigarette addiction, and they all come back happy. Once it is passed on to ten, it will be passed on to hundreds, so that all those who are interested are eager to give it a try. As time passed, some "kind-hearted" people counted the number of men she had sex with, and there were as many as a hundred or so. As a result, this woman's real name was gradually forgotten, but she had a resounding nickname of "Company Commander". It means that she has experienced as many men as one! Quite famous in the circle.
Dai Xianzhi has also personally experienced it several times. The right way is that a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a prostitute, and a prostitute is not as good as a thief. This woman was both a prostitute and a thief, which made Lao Dai extremely itchy. Unexpectedly, there were so many players that they often couldn't queue up, so Lao Dai used force to force the male faces away and occupied the "Company Commander" alone. Even the "authentic player" Xu Jing was not allowed to get involved and even occupied the place. The dove's nest and even the house were taken away.
This is too much. Although "Company Commander" is promiscuous, he is not promiscuous. It is one thing to be willing, but it is another thing to be forced. This is the same as the debate in later generations about "whether raping a prostitute is considered rape."Management.
This way Xu Jing not only lost his life and money, but also lost his face in the industry. In private it is one thing, in public it is another. It's just a cuckold, but if he is asked to walk among the crowd wearing a green turban, doesn't this offend people to death? But in Fengtian, although Dai Xianzhi was miserable, he was still the handsome brother-in-law. Looking at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face was not worth it for the insiders, and the outsiders didn't bother to do it. This left Xu Jing with nothing to do, and he became really wilted, and he deserved the nickname "Xu Laowei".
The outstanding Zhang Hanqing gave Xu Jing hope. It is well known that the handsome young man is a romantic man. At a young age, he found an unusual prostitute in Beijing, and even went all the way to Fengtian to pursue his marriage. If the young marshal is dragged into the whirlpool, it is feasible to give Lao Dai a blow, because in terms of status, the young marshal is the real master.
Speaking of which, Xu Laowen was also full of bad ideas. When Zhang Hanqing returned to the provincial capital to "visit relatives", he took the time to catch up with the young marshal and insisted on dragging him to his house for a drink. He secretly told the "company commander" his idea, and the dew couple hit it off immediately.
Zhang Hanqing, who has gradually become famous, also tries his best to present a "people-friendly" attitude. In addition, Yu Fengzhi is newly married, and many things in the house have to be taken care of by Fourth Aunt Xu, and dad's fourth wife has to take care of her. My aunt is usually very low-key and respects her brothers, so she is not willing to refute his face, so she reluctantly comes to the Xu family with her entourage. He didn't know that Xu Zhai had actually been named Dai for a long time, and everyone on earth knew it. Huang Sanye's ability to accurately find Dai Xianzhi is inseparable from the fact that he happened to meet "people in the circle".
Xu Jing actually had several intentions for doing this: using the power of the young marshal to enter the house with pretense and challenge Dai Xianzhi. If Lao Dai accepts the challenge, he is confident that the young marshal will fight him head-on; if he does not dare, then he has won for a while. Lao Dai does not know the truth and will not dare to challenge him in the near future; in addition, if the young marshal is willing, he does not care Wear one more headscarf, as long as you can be on the young marshal's line from now on.
Therefore, he tried to drag Zhang Hanqing to his home, while sending someone to tell Dai Xianzhi to go home, causing a "collision". If he appears at the right time to intensify conflicts, it will depend on whether Lao Dai will be more civil or violent later. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

The woman "spit" at him and said with a half-shy smile, "I'm trying to kill myself because I want to tease my sister-in-law." She said she was shy, but she couldn't help but look at the majestic vitality there. I am well-informed and based on experience and feeling, this is a rare artifact. The Tao is easily obtained by thousands of armies, but hard to find by one general. This kind of treasure is always hard to come by.
Zhang Hanqing's thoughts are like the elasticity that moves there, out of control. Previously, I had to suppress myself to avoid losing my composure, but now that I have punctured the window paper, I am no longer afraid of puncturing my pants. There is a saying that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a thief. Zhang Hanqing finally found the feeling of having an affair. He said with saliva on his face: "My gun is extremely powerful and has plenty of bullets. It is specially designed to hit women. It is indestructible. Women love and fear it at the same time."
The woman's debauchery was finally suspended. She covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Bah! What is so powerful? Do you know the story of the Orion and the Wolf?"
The two of them were flirting to such an extent that they had already broken through the last layer of window paper. At this moment, she was still leisurely telling stories, which surprised and surprised Zhang Hanqing. I don't understand what her intentions are. Although I have reached the last moment, I will never go against the woman's wishes. This is something that Zhang Hanqing or the young marshal as an ordinary person would not do, whether before or after time travel. With a shy face, he motioned for the woman to continue her work, and said with a smile, "I like listening to my sister-in-law tell stories the most."
While undressing, the woman narrated: "One day, the hunter met the wolf, his rival for many years. The hunter said to the wolf: 'We have been fighting together for many years, always regardless of winning or losing. I have an idea. We can easily decide the winner.' The wolf said, 'I'd like to hear the details. In fact, I've had enough fights. If there is a good way to get the result, that would be great.' The hunter said, 'We are so far apart. I'll shoot you three times. If you dodge, I'll let you eat it; if you are killed, we will decide the winner.' The wolf thought for a while and then agreed.
But the hunter was too excited and missed all three shots. According to the agreement, the wolf will eat the hunter. It said to the hunter: 'Now you have to fulfill your promise and take off your clothes, and I will eat you. ’ The hunter had no choice but to take off his clothes one by one. But when he took off the last piece of clothing, the wolf turned and ran away. It escaped to a creek and met an old woman washing clothes. It told the old woman about the incident and complained: "People are the most trustworthy. I only thought he fired three shots and that was it. Who knew he even hid a gun!" ’ The old woman laughed and said, ‘You’ve been fooled! I was hit by that gun for decades, am I still fine now? ! ’”
Zhang Hanqing has actually heard this joke before, so there is no need to say more because he can't bear it anymore, so he doesn't need to bear it anymore. The feeling of being teased by a woman is unique. In this atmosphere, if he doesn't do something, he doesn't deserve to be called a romantic young man. He held down the woman's hand and made her hand stick tightly to the gun. He put his other hand around the woman's neck and kissed her: "Sister-in-law, I want to hit you with this gun right now to see if you can." Will everything be fine?"
The woman didn’t dodge, but Zhang Hanqing’s hand gently touched the gun through her clothes. This gun is bigger than before, and it also makes people think: How fascinating it must be to be attacked by such a guy! She kept stroking her, smiling softly, and said with a double entendre: "Sister-in-law likes it so much! Although your cousin also brought home a gun, it doesn't look good. Even his one gun can't suppress the many guns outside. . If sister-in-law can borrow this gun from you, oh, no, little Pao, you will feel at ease at home, right?"
Zhang Hanqing is not a good bird at heart. The beauty has said it so clearly and made it so obvious, and Xu Jing also deliberately made space for them to get along with each other. He would not understand what it meant. Now the beauty cannot allow her to sit still in her arms, and Xu Jing is outside and may come in at any time. This feeling of being sneaky is really unspeakable. Anyway, the words had been spoken, and the two of them stopped hiding each other. He pressed his hand on the woman's towering territory, and while trying to squeeze the hardness, he couldn't help but turn his head to look out the door.
But the woman pulled over his body and hugged his head. She smiled brightly and said, "It's okay. It's the damn guy who wants my sister-in-law to accompany my cousin."
It’s authorized! Zhang Hanqing, who was already in love, felt like he was listening to the news. Regarding the husband pimping his wife, he had only seen these gossips on the Internet. Now that it had really happened to him, it felt like a fairy tale. Although this woman is not my cousin's real wife, she still has the title of concubine, right? It's hard to describe the excitement of being in the other person's home, with her husband's ears on the other side of the wall.
It doesn’t matter who the other party is, the key is the beauty. It doesn't matter how many people you've had relationships with, it's not like you're looking for a wife, you're here for excitement, and it's not about coercion. As long as you agree with me, everyone will be happy, and besides, he originally??Not a good man or woman.
What’s more, the man also agrees.
So Zhang Hanqing likes it.
Not willing to be manipulated by a woman, Zhang Hanqing got rid of her. With a little force, he grabbed her shoulders and held her back with her back to him. At the same time, the other hand stretched out and copied it in from bottom to top. Touching the other person's tender skin, the woman chuckled. Zhang Hanqing pinched it a few times and then eagerly moved towards her belt.
In this room, on the mattress of the woman's chair, Zhang Hanqing quickly peeled off the woman's pants and underwear. The woman obediently supported the chair with her backhand, and cooperated with her completely handing over her back. Zhang Hanqing also quickly took off his clothes, raised his gun and mounted his horse, and squeezed into the warm and moist place with just one thrust. Anyway, this woman is not a good person, so Zhang Hanqing can't even think about showing any sympathy for her, and can just indulge her own strength.
The key to women’s pain is that Zhang Hanqing’s stand-in is also capable. Although he was a little emotional at first, the iron man couldn’t bear his fierce thrust. Although he was licentious, he still had some sense of shame, and he didn't dare to speak out, so he could only plead in a low voice: "Cousin, please be gentle, my sister-in-law can't bear it anymore."
Unethical love is the most exciting thing. When Zhang Hanqing heard her repeatedly calling herself "sister-in-law" and letting out muffled screams that sounded like a plea but also a declaration of war, he couldn't help but move dozens of times. Just when he was about to take a breath, he He found that the woman beneath him had collapsed on the chair. It's just that although she seems to be unable to hold on, her spring eyes are dim, and she doesn't feel tired after a hundred rounds of fighting. Even Zhang Hanqing can feel her lingering and compactness. The power of the water is unpredictable, but it can always wrap around the mountain tightly. A strange saying says that women are like water.
The people below him can do whatever they want, and there seem to be countless pairs of eyes peering at him. Xiao Zhang deeply feels that time will not wait for him, so he regains his energy and attacks all the way. After all, he was young, and his body was very strong from training in the military camp, and he had been abstinent for a while. Moments after the war drums sounded, both the guests and the host began to have fun. Regarding this woman, Zhang Hanqing has also heard of all the bad things about her, but if she avoids moral values, she is really a woman who can make men happy. Especially having an affair in front of the husband excites the man the most. Zhang Hanqing tried his best to assassinate him, acting wantonly and showing no mercy. Unexpectedly, this woman had experienced hundreds of battles and was extremely charming, which made Zhang Hanqing, a self-proclaimed veteran of Hua Cong, unable to stop and could only do his best.
The "Company Commander" is already as limp as mud. Unfortunately, Zhang Hanqing is very powerful. His long-term efforts in fighting evil in the martial arts hall have finally paid off. He held the woman behind his back with both hands, holding it tightly, and threw her upwards with force again and again, so that she could never fall to the ground, as if she was leaning on the clouds, floating in heaven.
When I was amused, I was glad that the male host did not come back, but a voice came intermittently into my ears, adding a bit of disharmony to the rumbling voice: "I want to see who is in there?" Then there was Xu Jing's voice: "I'm inviting guests to dinner at home today. No matter how good you are, Dai Xianzhi, do you dare to come to my house and cause trouble?" That was when Xu Laowen started to use provocation to invite you to the urn.
It would be fine if it were someone else. Even Xu Jing, who had always been weak, challenged him. Dai Xianzhi couldn't bear it. He sneered and said, "What's your house? That's the company headquarters. If I want to see the company commander, I can't just go in when I want and get out when I want!" He deliberately emphasized "in" and "out" so hard that he shouted loudly. The neighbors all heard it. What should Xu Laowei do?
Xu Laowei really can’t help it. Although Dai Xianzhi’s words are unbearable, they are also true. Isn’t there another person in the family? You don’t know what you are doing now even if you don’t look at it, even though it is with your own permission. But Dai Xianzhi made this matter a big deal and everyone knew it, so it was different.
But he didn't say anything, and he didn't know how much the young marshal could help him. If he completely fell out with Lao Dai, and if there was any "inadequate care", he would be the one who would suffer in the end.
"These romantic affairs have always been of most interest to the Chinese people. Moreover, the name of the "Company Commander" is well known. Everyone came to join in the fun after hearing the news. For a time, the three floors of Blind Man Alley were full of heads. Although Zhang Hanqing's guards had guns, they lacked a lot of dignity when traveling in casual clothes because of their privacy.
Dai Xianzhi is a typical example of a man who is mad at people, and the people like to see him. Xu Laowen was even more proud when he shivered after the match. He pointed at Xu Jing and said: "I just want to see today, how can you be willing to be a cuckold?" Who is it? You're treating guests to dinner, bah! Just eat, why are you using it to show off! Oh, I understand, you want to change your profession to be a turtle man and guard the door for the 'company commander'!"
He made gestures and gestures in a vulgar tone, which made everyone laugh. Perhaps in everyone's mind, bullying Xu Laowen is a very fun and honorable thing. Even watching it makes people happy. Amid the cheers at the scene, Dai Xianzhi was even more bold: "Find out those adulterers!"
Even though Xu Jing’s face had been trained for many years, he couldn’t resist his explicit taunts, but he knew his own affairs and what was going on in the house, wasn’t he just Turtle Gong? He blushed but was speechless.
The two protagonists inside were also flushed at the moment. That was because they drank some wine and continued to exert such force. The "Company Commander" has another concern: in this countless sexual encounters, the young marshal is one of the few men who can make him feel strongly. Now she is not seducing men, but is willingly opening her heart to accept men. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?You know the matter well, isn't it Mr. Turtle? He blushed but was speechless.

The sounds from outside reached the ears of the two of them. The "Company Commander" just paid it off. She had heard this kind of overt and covert gossip a lot, and she usually didn't think anything of it. But when Zhang Hanqing got into her like this, she immediately felt that her worth had increased. hundred times. It's just that the happy time is always broken by these dissonant sounds, which also makes her feel a sense of shame that she is useless, which makes her movements seem a bit stiff.
Zhang Hanqing is entering Hong Kong, and of course he can feel the subtle changes under his body. Whether it's anger at being in a "good mood" being disrupted, or repayment for a woman's free investment, it's necessary for me to express it. Of course, those unbearable words gradually disturbed him. It's just that if the anger can be vented in another way, it will be the best for the fiery two people. While he was moving, he had time to lean over the woman's ear and whisper: "When brother feels comfortable, I will make him look good as soon as possible."
The woman felt at ease and became more engaged, which made Zhang Hanqing very satisfied. In this last round of battle, the young marshal's army was wiped out, but he was very happy. Seeing the woman cleaning the battlefield contentedly, Zhang Hanqing had no intention of drinking "Remnant Flower Wine" at this time, and just watched the "Company Commander" add clothes to his body one by one. Looking at that graceful figure, I really didn't expect that just now I was sitting in the clouds, as if having a tryst with a fairy.
But for some things, the feeling before and after will be very different. Seeing the white flesh being wrapped in clothes, Zhang Hanqing, who was feeling calm, suddenly blamed himself: "What am I doing? Am I not selective about what I eat when I'm hungry? Now I, a romantic young man, have to be reduced to a woman who needs to be shameless for the mainstream society. Looking for satisfaction in my body! Spread the word, it’s not that I prostituted this woman, but that this woman slept with me! What will the history books write? What will others think?"
The young marshals in history were indeed romantic, but what they did was obscene! What is the difference between this and later generations paying 100 yuan to find pheasants in an alley? What I have to do is to support you! Besides, I heard that this woman is nicknamed "Company Commander", so she must be dating a lot of people. What if she gets sick? Hualiu disease can be cured, but it has a bad reputation. If it is an old "love", wouldn't it be ruined for life? In any case, I will never dare to set foot in such a place again in the future. With my status and temperament, coupled with my handsome face, shouldn't the beauty be allowed to crawl down the sewer to her home?
After thinking about it for a moment, I didn’t want to stay any longer. When I looked at the white meat, it looked very much like the pork belly sold in the fresh pork section of the supermarket in later generations, and I suddenly felt nauseated. He completely forgot who was doing this crazy thing on this piece of meat just now.
Of course, he is not someone who just puts up his trousers and refuses to admit his debt. If others have given something, he must show something no matter what he does, right?
Just as Dai Xianzhi was talking nonsense, the door suddenly opened, and the young marshal Zhang Hanqing, who was wearing a righteous outfit and had cool sleeves, walked out slowly and calmly. It wasn't that he didn't want to go faster, it was just that the finishing work was too hasty and the conditions were too crude. He always felt a sticky and uncomfortable feeling in his lower body, which made him very unhappy. Moreover, when he was working, the person in front of him seriously interfered with him and made him even more unhappy when he thought about it.
To be honest, Dai Xianzhi was shocked the moment Zhang Hanqing showed up. He thought about it over and over, but he never imagined that he was the one wading into troubled waters! If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have dared even if he had ten thousand courages.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????…
With Zhang Zuolin recruiting women into his four and five bedrooms, especially the young, beautiful and educated fifth concubine Mrs. Taishou, his sister Dai Xianyu gradually fell out of favor. She had no income, and she did not manage the Zhang family in an orderly manner like Mrs. Lu of the fourth room, so her status in the mansion plummeted.
By the time Zhang Hanqing married Yu Fengzhi, Yu Fengzhi, a capable young lady with a strong family background, gradually emerged. In the courtyard of the Shuai Mansion, Yu Fengzhi was considered a junior, but her politeness, erudition, charity and understanding gradually made her a monument that was admired by others.
Yu Fengzhi works in a disciplined and insightful way in the house, and people are willing to discuss things with her. Even when Zhang Xuezeng and Zhang Huaizhen wanted to organize a birthday party for Mrs. Xu, they asked her for advice. Among Zhang Zuolin's wives, Yu Fengzhi had special respect for Mrs. Lu, because she admired her virtues of being able to regard Guanying, Liang and Xueming as her own, so she always looked for opportunities to repay her. In the Commander's Mansion, she and Mrs. Lu were like mother and daughter. Not only were they respectful and devoted to their relatives, but they also did not act like young ladies to their servants. Because of her approachability, the servants in the Shuai Mansion are willing to get close to her.
Since Yu Fengzhi entered the Marshal's Mansion, he has won everyone's trust and praise with his unique solemnity, restraint, benevolence and righteousness, and has also made the Zhang family and his son look upon this woman with admiration.
Zhang Zuolin married Yu Fengzhi as his daughter-in-law. His original idea was very simple. First, he wanted to repay Wen Dou’s life-saving grace in this way;??A daughter can bring good luck to her son. I never expected that my daughter-in-law has many virtues: respecting the elderly and loving the young, caring for her husband and raising her children, being kind to the servants, and being smart and wise. According to his own experience: If a woman is virtuous and intelligent, she can give full play to the man's greatest strength. On the contrary, if women are stupid and stubborn, they will also greatly weaken men's power. The relationship between husband and wife is like a bow and arrow. The husband is like an arrow, and the wife is like a bow. If the bow is broken, the arrow cannot be shot. Xueliang is really lucky to have such a good wife. But I had promised Xueliang to look for a woman outside! Therefore, Zhang Zuolin felt a little sorry for the child, so in the following days, he paid special attention to Feng Zhi and looked at everything with a high regard. It is said that Zhang Zuolin specially gave face to his eldest daughter-in-law. When he was angry, others would not dare to come forward, but Yu Fengzhi could calm down his anger with just a persuasion.
With Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Yu sitting in the back house, and Mrs. Shou as young as a flower, Mrs. Dai, who was gradually declining in appearance, gradually stepped aside in the Governor's Mansion, and even Dai Xianzhi had no chance of success——in fact, He was overly worried. Given his ability, Lao Zhang would never have any intention of re-employing him. Lao Zhang was definitely not a nepotist. Otherwise, why would he still be working as a small guard in the Marshal's Mansion? ? Relying on the reputation of the commander-in-chief, it was okay for him to act recklessly outside, but when he met Zhang Hanqing, his last trace of self-esteem was completely removed.
According to Lao Baqi, Zhang Hanqing is the authentic leader. Dai Xianzhi said that he is a little older, but he is not even qualified to carry his shoes. Whether it was before time travel or in this life, the young commander didn't give him any expression.
When the two of them met, it was like they had a thousand things to say and didn’t know where to start. Dai Xianzhi was still obedient and said hello: "Young Marshal!"
Zhang Hanqing said calmly: "Are you making the noise here?"
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? may still be a man, and you cannot lift up your trousers and disown others like some people do, which is not good. I promised to seek justice for the "Company Commander", and this was a favor - it was one thing for women to be loose, but men couldn't use force. When the two of them calmed down afterwards, the "Company Commander" roughly told the cause and effect of the incident. Seeing a woman even telling some very private things, Zhang Hanqing believed that this Dai Xianzhi was the kind of bully who would rob civilian girls, even prostitutes!
The young marshal didn’t give him face, so Dai Xianzhi didn’t dare to be single. He whispered: "Xu Laowen and I have some disputes. I didn't know that the young marshal was here too. I'll apologize to you first."
Zhang Hanqing ignored it and asked: "This is cousin Xu's home. You came to the door. I wonder what the dispute is about?"
Dai Xianzhi had nothing to say. He couldn't say that he had taken over the Xu Mansion. That would make no sense. He murmured, "I'm usually a bit dirty, but I became a little angry after drinking. I didn't expect to disturb the young marshal. Since the young marshal is cooperating, I will leave the matter alone. You are busy first, and I will pay my respects to you later."
Seeing that he was about to run away, Xu Jing secretly said, "Oops." Since Liang Zi was in trouble, if he didn't give him a heavy blow, he would bite him back in the future, and he would suffer a big loss. The young marshal patted his butt and left. The woman's butt and the rest of this matter must be wiped by herself!
But I heard a delicate voice in the courtyard shouting: "Who just shouted about catching the adulterer? Now everyone is here, why do you want to settle down?!" "The chief" came out after hearing the news. Her face was not flushed, her ears were not flushed, she was not panting or shaking, and she heard people's voices before they arrived. With Xiao Zhang's masculine aura, she Shi Shiran showed up. After moisturizing, a pretty face becomes more supple and supple.
Now Lao Dai is no longer in the mood to appreciate the interest this face and body once brought to him. He was very careful in his words now, trying not to let the young marshal get involved: "Who is the young marshal, and you can get involved in these things with him in person? If the marshal knew that you are such a coquettish person, he would also want to rely on the young marshal. Handsome, if you want to ruin the young marshal’s reputation, be careful he skins you!”
He kept blaming the "Company Commander" just to give everyone an excuse - she was the one who seduced the young marshal, not the young marshal who found her first. It seems that Zhang Hanqing has been cleared of suspicion, but it actually confirms the matter between men and women. Then he moved the old commander out and reminded Zhang Hanqing vaguely: "Be careful about your reputation, I'm afraid your father will not agree!" He gave him a step, and as long as Zhang Hanqing left, he would not let the news spread. As for "Xu Jing and his wife", they have a long life ahead of them.
However, Zhang Hanqing is not an easy man: Do you still think he is a young playboy? No matter what, he is a prince with a heavy army, and he is a figure who can alert Fengtian City even if he stamps his feet. If you want to threaten me with this, bah! If I am taken care of by you casually, how can I have the dignity to hang out in Fengtian City in the future? I don’t believe it anymore. In the atmosphere of the Republic of China, sleeping with a prostitute will bring disrepute to ruin? I bought a red peony in Beijing before. Isn't it still a good talk among men in Fengtian City?
He glanced at Dai Xianzhi: "Don't worry too much about it. Who are you talking to about these crazy things! Cousin Xu and I haven't seen each other for half a year, so we came to have a little talk about home affairs. You insist on talking about it online." Improve your reputation! Come and slap someone in the face! That's not how you bully! If you want to play, I'll accompany you!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com)Eat something simple every now and then, but you insist on being on top of the list and insisting on your reputation! He even came to slap me in the face! Bullying is not like this! If you want to play, I'll play with you! "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

The emperor's anger can lay corpses thousands of miles away and make rivers of blood flow.
Zhang Hanqing is a figure who came out of the battlefield. He has been nurtured by his father for a long time, living in his body and nourishing his energy. Naturally, he has a kingly and domineering energy filling his body. When he got angry, Dai Xianzhi had no intention of challenging him.
But with such a despicable defeat, his reputation in Fengtian was ruined, let alone suppressing Xu Laowei and enjoying the beauty of breaking into houses and stealing incense and jade in the past. Dai Xianzhi has no confidence, but that doesn't mean he has no ideas.
Speaking of which, he is Zhang Hanqing’s elder. In terms of seniority, the young marshal has to call himself “uncle”, right? In terms of power and strength, he is no match for Zhang Hanqing, but in terms of seniority, can he rebound a little? He boldly said with the sincerity and kindness he thought he had: "Han Qing, in terms of seniority, I can be regarded as the elder. You should call me 'uncle' because I have gone through some things." . I know better than you who these old and wizened couple are. It is benevolent and righteous for you to enter their door with the front foot; but they can trap you with the back foot and ruin your reputation!"
What greeted Xiao Zhang was one word: "Get out!"
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out of the blue. His nominal biological uncle has not taken care of him yet, so this is good, he calls him uncle with a straight face, and self-righteously says that he has "experienced something." What's up? I know a lot about astronomy and geography, I’m excellent at languages, I’m good at physics and chemistry, I have more soldiers than you, I can pick up better girls than you, not to mention my knowledge, demeanor, literary talent, how dare you compete with me? As for being "trapped", how can it be trapped? Right now, in front of many people, if I deny what happened in the room just now, no one can really testify against me. Even if I am a public prosecutor, DNA has not been invented yet, right?
And if this guy hadn’t kept making noises, bystanders wouldn’t have guessed whether he and the “company commander” really had that kind of relationship. People would only say: “Dai Xianzhi said that the young marshal has a relationship with the ‘company commander’.” Being disturbed by him in this way, no matter how much he denied it, everyone would say in their hearts: "The young marshal said that he has nothing to do with the 'Company Commander'." He said that he said it himself, which meant a lot.
The word "go" is a direct expression of his anger.
Dai Xianzhi, whose face was torn apart, really had a fit. Your young commander is openly protecting Xu Jing. Although Zhang Hanqing kept saying that it had nothing to do with the "Company Commander", he still saw the clues from the red tide that occasionally appeared on the cheeks of the "Company Commander" after many battles. A woman would not behave like this unless she had been in battle. of. This young commander is unbearable. Isn't it worth going to battle naked for her just because he slept with her once? I’ve never seen a woman!
He said a little unhesitatingly: "Okay, okay, okay. You Zhang Xueliang can cover the sky with one hand, let's ride on a donkey and read the songbook, and we'll see!" Since the other party was the first to break up, he had nothing to worry about. No matter what, he had no contact with Zhang Hanqing's direct influence. Moreover, his sister is Lao Zhang's concubine after all, so Lao Zhang won't have trouble with him for this. Speaking harshly is a way of regaining the ground.
Zhang Hanqing didn’t care about these harsh words. He has lived for hundreds of years in his past life and this life. There is a saying that a loud fart does not stink, and a smelly fart does not make a sound. There are many things that two people have done without fighting for a long time, and this one is no exception. As the Guards Brigade was officially formed and achieved great military exploits, Zhang Zuolin became stronger and stronger in Fengtian, and Feng Delin no longer had the arrogance he once had. This is the capital! So Zhang Hanqing sneered a little contemptuously and said: "I will only cover the sky with my hand once, just to see who can defy heaven in Fengtian!"
He said it was a little too early.
After Zhang Hanqing left in a hurry, Huang Sanye and Dai Xianzhi, who witnessed all this, continued to have in-depth communication. When he learned of Huang Sanye's intention, Dai Xianzhi, who felt deeply embarrassed in front of his wife's family, was "full of righteous indignation" and wanted to retaliate. Huang Sanye, who was not very familiar with matters in the provincial capital, had witnessed the whole scene of Dai Xianzhi humiliating himself in front of the young marshal from beginning to end, and no longer had any hope for his so-called "revenge": "Master Dai, young marshal His power is huge, and we can’t defeat him.”
Dai Xianzhi thought for a moment, then snorted coldly: "It's too early to say this. You have to know that Zhang Hanqing's family is not the only one in Fengtian!"
Mr. Huang Sanye probed: "What does Mr. Dai mean?"
Dai Xianzhi sneered and said: "Isn't Zhang Hanqing in charge of the Xinmin land reform? If you can't bear this tone, you can have a connection with Feng Delin, Marshal Feng, and simply give him part of the land. Feng and Zhang are at odds, and Lao Feng personally came out to oppose that reform. Look, How can Zhang Hanqing continue to do this! It can be regarded as causing trouble for him!"
Also, both have military power. Old Feng Ruo really fired at Xiao Zhang. What did Zhang Hanqing fight with him? Private ownership of land was a policy in the early Republic of China. How could there be any reason to buy and sell by force? Make a big deal out of thisCome on, let’s go to Beijing and make Lao Zhang walk around without food!
Mr. Huang Sanye makes some sense when he thinks about it. If he can get the protection of another commander, he can save at least half of his more than 3,000 acres of land, and more importantly, he will also have a talisman, and he will have a considerable status in Xinmin County from then on, no longer A lamb to be slaughtered by Xiao Zhang. He moved at his word, and when he returned home, he sent an envoy to pay his respects to Feng Delin.
To be honest, Feng Delin admired Xiao Zhang's actions in northern Liaoning and Xinmin. With a magnificent turn, this kid not only retained all the troops, but also gained a good place to raise troops for free. After all, he had drank foreign ink. I was defeated by Xiao Zhang at the meeting at the Governor's Mansion, so I didn't want to interfere too obviously now. I was also anxious when I saw Xiao Zhang becoming more and more angry.
Now Huang Sanye's words finally gave him an excuse to intervene. He wrote directly to Zhang Zuolin: "The recent news of what my nephew Han Qing did to Xinmin has made the elders in the countryside panic and worry, thinking that harsh government is more fierce than tigers. Good farmland and beautiful scenery Land is the foundation of several generations, and it is also the national government of the stable countryside of the Republic of China. It cannot be touched lightly. All land deeds are private property legally recognized by our country and cannot be violated. Fortunately, I suppressed the public grievances at that time and did not reach the ears of heaven. There is still room for remedying the situation. If public dissatisfaction boils over and then leads to war, it is definitely not the country's intention to set up the position of governor and provincial governor. Although Feng is an assistant, he actually has the duty of inspecting political discipline, so he is here to understand it to observe the consequences. .”
After reading it, Zhang Zuolin ripped up the book and cursed: "What the hell, you are not worthy of teaching me a lesson! You also know that you are just a military affairs assistant. When did you get the power to enforce political discipline? I agreed to the new civilian pilot program at the military and political meeting. This The flagpole will be replaced in less than a month, so what I said is nonsense!"
Having said that, he was still a little worried. After all, this issuance of new land deeds is a bit unethical, and it means to seize private land (not a bit, actually). If the matter gets bigger, I'm afraid it will not look good on the official side, and it will easily cause a backlash from powerful private forces. He summoned Zhang Hanqing, who came to the provincial capital to "report on his work," asked in detail what to do. After all, this is the beginning and end of the eldest son's life, and it is his first stab at politics. If he can handle it, he will have no shirk from his responsibility as a father.

Zhang Hanqing was not as surprised as his father imagined.
He looked at this matter with a calmness that seemed extremely befitting his age: "Father, do you think it is necessary for the New People's Land Reform to be implemented in all the places under our control in the future?"
Zhang Zuolin has been "brainwashed" many times: "Of course it is necessary." Taking money from farmers or agriculture or rural areas to supplement industrial development is a shortcut and the only way for the rapid development of poor areas. For the ambitious Zhang Zuolin, What Zhang Hanqing did was a broad road, a coup that could enhance his own strength. He didn't care how many people opposed him, as long as he could achieve his goal in the end. This is what makes a hero different from ordinary people.
"Since it is necessary, can we think that all people and things that add resistance to our necessary actions are matters that we must work hard to overcome? Feng Delin is currently a major enemy of his father, can we think so , whatever Feng Delin supports, we will oppose, whatever Feng Delin opposes, we will support?" Zhang Hanqing was still worried that this cheap dad would change his mind midway, so he gave him reassurance - he actually underestimated this hardworking man. The nature of a nascent warlord who is tough and integrated.
"The land reform only involves one county now, and it will not affect the rest until next summer's harvest. Why did Lao Feng jump out so quickly? I don't believe that a guard brigade can rebel in Xinmin County? It's simply not possible. It’s all unfounded worries! Or maybe it’s an ulterior motive!”
"He, Feng Delin, can come to Fengtian with just a word, and he can throw shame on his father if he makes even the slightest mistake. Now he has come to put pressure on the land reform as soon as it has just begun. He is obviously still going back to the old tricks. He will overthrow the meeting that was just decided upon. , still want to show off his existence. For this kind of person, I have only one way, slap him in the face!"
"During this period, I also roughly learned something about the situation through the Fengqi Bureau. This was the information that Huang Fengting from Sandaogangzi Township, Xinmin County had to Feng Delin. Feng Delin put pressure on him from the official level, and Huang Fengting reportedly also reported to Beijing and Fengtian The trial court submitted a petition and wanted to use the method of people suing the officials to play the tragedy card. He thought that at least until the lawsuit was over, there was nothing I could do to him. If he delayed it like this, he could survive this autumn's land reform; don't If someone else follows the same example, it will create quite a momentum, and it will be inconvenient to touch him at that time."
Zhang Zuolin was very alert: "Who is this Huang Fengting from Huang Gongting?"
Zhang Hanqing was already very clear about the relationship between the characters in the play. He said calmly: "There are three brothers in the Huang family. The eldest is Huang Gongting, the current director of the Fengtian Civil Affairs Department; the second brother's father also knows Huang Xianting, Fengtian's Ruihuanchang" The butler of the gold shop; the third oldest is Huang Fengting."
Zhang Zuolin was very sensitive: "Does Huang Gongting know about this matter?"
Zhang Hanqing was pragmatic: "It's not clear yet, but the Fengtian Civil Affairs Bureau also has the opportunity to participate in the Xinmin Land Reform. His brother has made such a big move, so there is no reason for him not to know about it."
Huang Gongting is the director of the Civil Affairs Department of Fengtian, and Zhang Zuolin often interacts with him, but I never expected that Huang Gongting is so unreliable - he can't even control his own brother and let him go against him. This is not unreasonable. What is reliable? In these few sentences, Huang Gongting was politically sentenced to death by our Lao Zhang. He snorted and said, "It's not easy for a high-ranking official or a business leader to recruit people in a place."
Zhang Hanqing still understands Nai's father's style, but Lao Zhang will never tolerate people who may unite against him, especially such an important figure. Whether it is for his father's great cause or his own ambitions, the Huang family must serve as a model to scare the monkeys. He said softly: "With my father's current status, any conflict with Feng Delin will be a disgrace. It's better for me to do this. I have a way to slap him in the face. If anything bad happens in the future, The impact——should not happen, father can come out again to set things right."
Lao Zhang now admires his son's methods very much. He has many tricks and endless tricks, which sometimes makes him confused. Only later will he gradually understand. Since he was confident that he would solve it, Lao Zhang didn't bother to ask in detail. In short, it was right to let his son take the lead first——what's the saying? "Brothers fight tigers, father and son go into battle", it's so true!
Zhang Ciqing’s counterattack was very sharp: he personally took control of the work of the three posts. At first, he remained calm and told the working group not to put any more pressure on Mr. Huang. With the intervention of the provincial court, everyone thought that the three-day deadline for the young marshal to respond to the lawsuit had quietly passed. Just as Mr. Huang was delighted that his plan was successfully implemented, the Huang family mansion unexpectedly encountered a catastrophe.
First of all, Mr. Huang Jiu, the concierge who got up early in the morning, was surprised to find many heavily armed soldiers running outside his door when he was pouring out the chamber pot. This has always been regarded as "There has never been a "Huang family in Zexiang". This old man who has lived in the Huang family since he was a child and is also a member of the Huang family in terms of seniority, although he is just a concierge, has gained the respect of the villagers and is known as a concierge commoner. Sir. As the saying goes, you can't look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face. The background of the Huang family cannot be underestimated by any country people. The prime minister's concierge is even a seventh-rank official.
Mr. Huang Jiu has also seen the world. He also followed the eldest master to Guandong. The three current masters of the Huang family are also masters, especially the eldest master, who is also the director of the civil affairs department of the provincial capital—— I’m not sure what kind of official the director of the Department of Civil Affairs is, but he is undoubtedly a senior official. With the power of the Huang family, during the Russo-Japanese War, neither the White Russians nor the Japanese devils did anything to their family. Some blind soldiers thought they could take the opportunity to make some money. Do you know what the Huang family does? Those who specialize in taking advantage of others!
The front and back doors were surrounded, and a soldier approached and shouted: "We are on official duty for the Guard Brigade, please open the door quickly!"
No matter how old and dim Mr. Huang Jiu is, he is not stupid enough to actually open the door. He replied: "Later, I will inform the third master," while taking steps to run into the main room.
This group of officers and soldiers belongs to the Guard Brigade Guard Company and is directly under the control of Zhang Hanqing. Before coming here, I received instructions: "Violence, toughness, and the spirit of killing the leaders of the Huang family." Of course, they would not be polite. The officers and soldiers huddled together and used human flesh as cannonballs to break open the hard door, making a loud "bang" sound. Master Huang Jiu was so angry that he grabbed the collar of the soldier at the front and said, "You bandits, do you know where this place is?"
This soldier was also drunk. When he saw this old and strong guy rushing towards him with a urinal and grabbing him, he instinctively threw his hand away. But what he threw out was not just a shot, but also a living person.
Mr. Huang Jiu only let out a wailing cry before he was knocked unconscious by a gunshot. The broken chamber pot filled the front door with the smell of urine. The soldier who later hit someone was fined for cleaning the company for a month, not because he violated the "nuisance" regulations stipulated by Zhang Hanqing and others, but because the splashing liquid caused a collective rebound among several surrounding officers and soldiers who were unfortunate enough to be "shot". , strongly requested.

Mr. Huang Sanye heard the screams outside the house while he was still in the haze. He cursed impatiently and tilted his head to sleep again. However, before he could close his eyes again, he was awakened by the panicked running and shouting of his servants. He was so excited that he lost all sleep. He jumped up and heard the commotion outside. Countless people were rushing towards him.
He didn't have time to put on his clothes and went to open the door to see what was going on. As soon as he flipped the door latch, several wolf-like soldiers rushed in and pushed him to the ground. Before he could say anything, he was tied up and escorted out of the house. He struggled and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you tying me up?" But the big soldiers didn't give him a chance to argue. Two people held his shoulders and almost made him walk on the ground. Wherever he could see from the corner of his eye, there were two soldiers standing in front of his house.
At this time, the whole house was jumping up and down, crying, begging for mercy, banging on the door, and occasionally fighting, but soon followed by the screams of being beaten. The men, women and children of the Huang Mansion were rushed to the open space on the roadside in front of the courtyard by soldiers with loaded weapons. The incident happened in a hurry, and many people were kicked out without even washing their faces. The women had disheveled hair, some were shivering, some were hugging each other and crying, and some were hugging their children tightly. Fortunately, the soldiers were asked to respect women, so despite the sudden incident, they were allowed to wear a lot more clothes than the men.
With such a big commotion happening in the Huang family, it is impossible for the villagers not to know about it. It was spread to ten people and hundreds of people, and many people from all over the country gathered together. The officers and soldiers received the order, but they were kind and let them watch. Seeing that the Huang family, which was originally a big deal in the hearts of the villagers, was being penned like cattle and sheep, they began to feel a lot of awe towards the soldiers carrying steel guns. It turns out that the legendary harmonious Guard Brigade also has its moments of discord? Aren't the brains of this working group the same young marshal as the Guard Brigade? It seems that the Huang family and the young marshal are clearly against each other, which makes the extremely young military governor angry!
After a house-to-house inspection, all eighty-nine people in the Huang Mansion were gathered in one place. The unconscious Mr. Huang Jiu was also revived by his family members and carried aside. There were various sounds originally, but when the embarrassed head of the family, Mr. Huang Sanye, was tied up and passed by them, all the sounds disappeared.
A young major officer walked slowly over with his hands behind his back. He spoke loudly in Guandong Mandarin: "Huang Fengting, a man from Sandaogangzi, refused to implement the decision of the Land Reform Committee. Instead, he colluded with outsiders in order to disrupt the progress of my work. According to the previously issued order, the Land Reform Committee decided to confiscate all the property of the Huang family and put Huang Fengting in prison. After his crimes in the countryside are found out, he will be criticized and dealt with!" He added slowly but forcefully: "Obstruct the land reform Those who have big plans will be dealt with accordingly. Once discovered, they will be severely punished!"
Huang Fengting had countless thoughts about his ending just now. He was well aware of the precedents of raids in other villages. Since the Guard Brigade took this strategy because of lack of money (referring to land reform, Huang Sanye and others always thought that the young marshal was To make money), there is no doubt that his property will be confiscated, but what is this "struggle and punishment"? So what if it's better than being cut to pieces by a thousand cuts? This must be the idea of ??the young marshal and his group of young people. With fear for the future, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "I belong to Marshal Feng! I want to go to the provincial capital and Beijing to file a complaint!"
The major officer sneered and said: "It's okay if you don't say Feng Delin. Since we dare to touch you, we are not afraid of your Marshal Feng! And as long as you have your life, go ahead and sue!" He just retorted casually, Huang Fengting After hearing this, his heart felt cold: "It's over, these people just started to use violence, my life is at risk!"
There were also people in the crowd who felt sad: "What can I do? I want to save daddy's life!" This person was none other than Huang Sanye's biological daughter, the 28-year-old Huang Wanqing.
Mr. Huang Sanye was directly imprisoned, and the Huang Mansion was also ransacked, as if it was a bandit riot. But what is much better than the bandits is that the officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade are only interested in the cash or spot goods on their books such as gold, silver, jewelry, and foreign currency certificates. In addition, the mountains of food in the warehouse are also their favorite. However, their actions did not involve beating, smashing, robbing, or burning as is common among Chinese people. The Huang family, who were allowed to return home temporarily in the evening, were surprised to find that few of their personal belongings were missing. Their private wardrobes and beds were basically untouched, and their room decorations were largely untouched. In mint condition.
The officers and soldiers also implemented good discipline: all items were registered. When the military police conducted a surprise inspection on them at the command of the young marshal, no disciplinary items were found. This made Zhu Guangmu, who led the team, very proud. This Zhu Guangmu was the husband-in-law of Miss Zhu Wu in the later "Zhao Si Zhu Wu". He is now Zhang Hanqing's confidant and the new adjutant after Gao Jiyi. He knew the young marshal's character well, so when he was ordered to lead the guard company, he specifically warned him not to hide his secrets. In fact, there was no need to tell him more. Xiao Zhang always had stricter requirements for the people around him than others, and the military discipline of the entire guard brigade was always strict. All very good.
? ?Later, an inventory of the entire results of the battle revealed that there were 100 gold bars, 26,000 yuan in foreign currency, more than 10,000 yuan in Fengtian small foreign currency notes, and thousands of tons of grain. In addition, there were several piles of dry firewood, two forage yards, and more than a hundred livestock. At this time, Xiao Zhang did not have a sensitive understanding of these numbers, but he was very interested in gold bars. This was due to the dazzling light emitted by the commemorative gold bars sold in a certain gold shop in his previous life under the light. stimulation.
In the early Republic of China, gold bars were 11 taels per pound, but because one pound was 16 taels at that time, the current calculation unit is 312.5 grams. At that time, one gram of gold was converted into 9 silver dollars. This income should have exceeded 280,000 ocean dollars. In any case, it was considered a huge sum of money. At least it could meet the monthly salary of the Guards Brigade.
As for the food, based on a load of 120 jins, it is also a stock of 120,000 jins. The guard brigade’s rations for less than half a month have been obtained!
When Zhu Guangmu informed Zhang Hanqing of the statistical results, he didn't believe himself. Guaiguailongdidong, if I could get access to such large companies, wouldn't the military expenses, military pay, and military rations that I had been having a headache for so long be solved? However, he thought mockingly to himself that in the entire Xinmin County, there were only a few landowners as wealthy as Huang Fengting. This old Huang just jumped out on his own and was "unfortunately" sacrificed by himself. How could there be so many people who don't open their eyes?
Sure enough, Zhang Hanqing's killing blow completely gave up on the small and medium-sized landowners who still wanted to take the lead with Mr. Huang, who had a big business, and were watching from the sidelines. They did not have the strength of Mr. Huang, and they did not have the ability to challenge the young marshal—— ——The powerful Mr. Huang has gone bankrupt and his life or death is still uncertain? Since this incident, the work of the New People's Land Reform Working Group has reached a new level. Not only the land measurement, registration, and distribution are in order, but also the collection of autumn grain is also very smooth. Regardless of what they thought, the Land Reform Committee "got something for nothing" for the first time, gathering the harvest that was about to fall into the pockets of various landowners, and occupied nearly 400,000 acres of excess land in the county for free and distributed it to farmers with little land. , and also won the enthusiastic support of the majority of farmers. Xiao Zhang is so beautiful that it is unreasonable! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 205 Rescue
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Huang Wanqing, the only daughter of the Huang family who has always been scheming, is determined to rescue her father.
It would be a lie to say that I don’t feel sad that my entire family fortune disappeared overnight, but at least I am still there and the house is still there. If one person is gone, then the big thing is really over! Moreover, according to the meaning of the bandits who ransacked the house (the language of the Huang family), Mr. Huang’s life was still in danger. God knows what the “struggle and punishment” was!
Money is something external to the body. Huang Wanqing is confident that as long as her father is around, the Huang family will still prosper. Although farmers are allocated land for free or at low cost, they will never have the scheming and experience to earn a family business. Just like a A poor person who suddenly gets a huge amount of money can only be called a nouveau riche and is far from being called a wealthy family. As long as there is suitable soil, Huang Wanqing believes that the lost land will be earned back sooner or later!
what to do?
Since the matter worsened after her father asked Feng Delin for help, Huang Wanqing believed that continuing to ask Marshal Feng for help would not only help the matter, but might anger the Zhang family and accelerate her father's life expectancy. Since the land reform working group did not take care of Marshal Feng's Face, how could she be sure that Marshal Feng's face would work a second time? Besides, Feng Delin's territory is in Beizhen, not Xinmin, and the military governor of Fengtian is Marshal's father, not Marshal Feng! It was only after her father decided to throw himself into the arms of Marshal Feng that she learned about the grudge between Marshal Zhang and Marshal Feng, and she felt deeply uneasy in the following days - two big shots were fighting, so ordinary people should not try to join in the fun!
"Of course Feng Shuai still has to try again. The Huang family has gone bankrupt because of this. You, Feng Shuai, should come out and talk, right?" Of course, in such troubled times, she only dared to secretly send someone to Feng Mansion to deliver the letter. As the elder brother of the same mother, the eldest brother who is the director of the Civil Affairs Department in Fengtian will naturally be notified. After all, there is someone in the court who wants to be an official. Maybe he can speak up?
Feng Delin, who was a hundred miles away, learned about what happened in Xinmin the next day, and the source of the channel was unknown. The young marshal was not afraid of his famous name at all and gave him a resounding slap in the face, which made him very angry. Don’t you want to protect Huang Fengting? Brother not only ransacked his home, but also captured him. What about you? I remember the glory he had when he and Zhang Zuolin were feuding, and now they finally get their revenge!
He couldn’t help but sent an extremely harsh telegram directly to Zhang Hanqing: “…Is there any reason to send troops to disturb the people and ignore justice? How courageous!”
Zhang Hanqing smiled and replied with a swipe of his pen: "If you follow the same example, why should you laugh at the hundred steps? Besides, there is no obstacle between justice and administration. Administrative litigation can be carried out in accordance with the law." Isn't it a joke? I don't think so. Brother Xiang comes from a hundred years later, and he understands the essence of administrative law. Its principle is that no matter what you think, what the government wants to do is done, even if it is wrong. You can apply for administrative reconsideration or administrative litigation, but before the judgment takes effect, administrative enforcement must still be done, and at most it will be done by temporary workers.
But if you dare to violently resist the law, will you really be a loser to the government? When one person comes to do it, it's like a mantis' arm, when there are more people, it's like gathering to cause trouble. Being reasonable can make you lose your temper, but when you're not being treated, you still dare to make trouble?
Feng Delin has no temper for this junior who "doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth". If he continues to pester him, he will hurt his face. Moreover, Xiao Zhang has complete confidence to confront him, and he also has a full brigade to back him up. He could only throw fire on Lao Zhang: "When a man dominates the countryside, the people are easily blamed. They are in danger and live in misery." This telegram was sent to the Central Committee of Beijing.
But no one in Beijing paid attention to him: Prime Minister Duan Qirui was the target of Lao Zhang’s fawning, so he had to give him some face, and President Li Yuanhong also cajoled and deceived Lao Zhang, so he definitely wouldn’t stand up for him. These two enemies are fighting endlessly among themselves. Who still takes Lao Feng's words seriously? It is normal for military commanders to criticize each other, not to mention that the two of them are at odds with each other and they are from the same city? There is a saying that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, except one male and one female. Beijing is too far away to deal with this family-related matter. So Lao Feng, who was looking forward to good news, received this kind of telegram: "This is the scope of administration and administrative relief. We have ordered the Fengtian High Court to intervene in the matter, and we should just wait for the verdict to be announced. "
?????? Lao Feng didn’t do it, and Xinmin was a county under Fengtian, so it was actually out of his control, and his powers were not as big as those of Lao Zhang. In addition, Zhang Hanqing created the structure of the "Xinmin County Special Criminal Temporary Court" and used his own people. Land reform and other related matters that did not appear in the judicial regulations of the Republic of China were the business of this special criminal temporary court. . In this way, the power of judicial interpretation and sentencing in Huang Fengting's case rests in Zhang Hanqing's hands. He, Feng Delin, had twenty-eight divisions, but he felt like he had nowhere to put his efforts. Everyone familiar with the matter knows that the reason why Huang Fengting dared to challenge the young marshal was because Feng Delin was behind him. Now that Huang Fengting is imprisoned, it is Feng Delin who has been embarrassed, so he also privately told Naozi Feng Yong."Yali Mountain is big".
The Huang family is under greater pressure. After asking for help directly, Huang Wanqing was completely panicked. After Feng Delin, this matter suddenly rose to a new level and became the second wrestling match between Zhang and Feng. The two had been unhappy for a long time, and everyone in Fengtian basically knew it. This case is something everyone avoids, let alone pleads for. I heard that Fengtian's uncle was reprimanded by the military governor for this and is now basically marginalized in the hall. According to the news coming from the newly established "Special Criminal Temporary Court" in the county, my father's situation is very bad: the young marshal wants to use this as a target and kill the chicken to show others, so the verdict will be very disappointing. disturbed.
Doesn’t the young marshal want money? My family was raided and I was unable to do anything. The second uncle is the butler of the "Ruihuanchang" gold shop. Now the Huang family is afraid that the only one who can save my father is the second uncle. He still has some connections in Fengtian's financial circles, and there may be a chance of survival by bribing people around the young marshal. Therefore, the burden on Mr. Huang has become much greater.
But Mr. Huang has nothing to do. With the financial power of the Huang family, most families in Fengtian are not able to compete with them. But this time they are playing against such a huge being as the young commander. Everything seems to be out of order. . Huang Erye, who has always had a wide range of contacts, discovered a pattern in frustration after running into obstacles one after another: whenever the case of the third brother is discussed, everyone will talk about it in a casual way, or symbolically comfort him by saying that the lucky person has his own destiny, and then It's a eunuch.
The young commander has great righteousness. At least from the capital city to the provincial capital and even to the county, the majority of the people who get the land are the ones with more people, and they are the profit group. They basically ignore the young commander's few "transgressions"; the young commander has the power. , which can ensure that his actions have a strong guarantee, and he will basically follow his stick in terms of administration, military, and propaganda. Now the public opinion in Xinmin and Fengtian is overwhelmingly in support of the young commander, including some groups whose interests have been harmed, and they praise the land reform against their will. The general trend has become the trend, which leaves Mr. Huang helpless. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 206: Serving the Tiger with Your Body
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing finally found a way to make a fortune, which could at least alleviate his current plight of insufficient financial resources. Therefore, for the fat pig of the Huang family, he would not let go of Qingshan until he was fed, and then kill him. Therefore, the Huang family refused to give in and persisted in adhering to the original regulations of "penalty no less than 3 to 10 times the unit price of the land involved" to serve as a warning. Otherwise, the law will be fulfilled and "the death penalty will be imposed"!
Actually, this is Xiao Zhang threatening him. He has already made a lot of money by raiding Mr. Huang’s house, so how can he have the nerve to be cruel again? If he could get another 100,000 yuan in fines, he would definitely send Mr. Huang home politely. Now it depends on whether the people in the Huang family are sensible and willing to bleed any more - he has already figured out the details of the Huang family.
But according to Huang Xianting’s calculation, with more than 3,000 acres of land and a land price of more than 60,000 yuan, the fine would be as much as 200,000 to 600,000 oceans! If you work harder, you can raise this huge expense, but you will basically go bankrupt. The third child's house was confiscated, which meant he was in decline, and the eldest brother was politically neglected. If he gave away his family property, the Huang family would basically be wiped out! It is necessary to save the third brother, but you can't get involved with yourself, right?
When the second uncle sent someone to tell his niece Huang Wanqing: "We are trying to raise a fine, but the amount is large and we are almost unable to do so," Huang Wanqing was about to cry but had no tears. It seems that in the face of absolute interests, the blood relationship that was once there is no longer reliable. Although she is knowledgeable and courteous, she has never experienced such a big event. After the Huang family experienced such a big change, she realized what it means to be in troubled times and what it means to be like a tree. This is true for the second uncle who is the same as his father and mother, let alone others? It turns out that there are eighty-nine members of the Huang family, except for the concierge Jiu Ye who has nowhere to go (the same Huang Jiu Ye who spilled the urinal and was knocked unconscious), the personal girl Cui'er and the mother who cries all day. Except for one person, the rest of the servants were all assigned land, and one after another they managed one-third of an acre of land, oh no, five acres of land. This made the huge Huang family compound feel deserted and miserable.
“I don’t know how my father is doing now? He was originally pampered, but when things changed, the physical torture was still secondary. The key was his inner thoughts. Dad, you are the backbone of the family, so don’t let anything happen to you!
At this time, she deeply hated why she was a girl and could not make any contribution to the family. She cried in the mirror, looking at the haggard but still beautiful face in the mirror, she suddenly calmed down.
“Isn’t it said that the young marshal is a suave man and has never been very good with women? I heard from people in Fengtian that although the young marshal married a beautiful wife, he still took a prostitute as a concubine outside. It can be seen that he is also a lecherous person. Zhang Hanqing shouted from a distance: Oh my God, I know a red prostitute. Would you like the peonies first? And because of my wife, I didn’t dare to patronize there again after getting married. Otherwise, why would I be nostalgic with my cousin in the same business?
The more Huang Wanqing thought about it, the more she blushed: The Huang family can't get the money now, and there is no other way. Only she may be able to solve this crisis. Although she has no experience or opportunity in running a household, she is a very decisive person. Otherwise, why would Mr. Huang often say that "if she were a boy, she would definitely be able to carry forward the family business".
With a brave and righteous mentality, Huang Wanqing washed herself up quietly and then put on a pair of bright clothes. She was already beautiful and refined. After some dressing up, when she was no longer grieving, the little beauty of the Huang family who was dozens of miles away from Sandaogang was fresh again!
Accompanied by Cui'er, she rode the Huang family's carriage and drove slowly towards the county seat.
In order to save time, Zhang Hanqing's temporary home was located at the eastern end of the "Land Reform Committee" compound, so that security measures could be easily taken. Xiao Zhang still valued his life very much. The land reform offended many people. I know it, but I don’t dare to trust it. The reason why I am at the easternmost point is for peace and quiet, so that I can think about the next step and major events in Fengtian without being disturbed.
Of course, land reform is on the right track, and he often goes to Fengtian. However, in order to solve the Huang family's problems, he still personally took charge and arranged matters for the new people in the post-land reform era.
The "Xinmin Land Reform Committee" is located in the old Yin family compound and a private school in the north of Xinmin County. It is connected together. There was once a Bagong here. The yard is not big, there are no towering buildings, and it looks a bit shabby. But in Huang Wanqing's view, this is the place that has a good atmosphere: there are soldiers patrolling back and forth from time to time, two "statues" standing straight in front of the gate, the dignified aura of people entering and exiting, and the meticulous attitude of the registration office, which makes her feel quite satisfied. This time was unusual.
When Lao Guo, who was on duty at the communication room of the "New People's Land Reform Committee", first met Huang Wanqing, he was shocked by her beauty: Darling, whose girl is this? She's so handsome! Although Lao Guo is already in his thirties and has been married for several years, he is still looking at it intently, and at the same time he has a deep male desire.??. However, when Huang Wanqing explained in a timid tone that she was looking for the Young Marshal, Lao Guo was relieved again - Young Marshal, only Young Marshal, only because of Young Marshal.
Soon, without any hindrance, Huang Wanqing was specially taken to the compound where Zhang Hanqing was. Different from the communication room, this place is more heavily guarded, but more secluded, at least on the surface it is peaceful. Even with Huang Wanqing's eyesight, she felt that there seemed to be a murderous atmosphere here. She didn't know whether it was from her heart or telepathy, but that's what she felt. Especially when he saw Zhu Guangmu, Zhang Hanqing's adjutant who led the team to search the house, standing at the door wearing a military uniform, he felt even more murderous.
She had mustered up the courage to come here on her own initiative, and had already made up her mind about what to do, but the moment she came to the door, her heart was still trembling. After all, she is a young girl, and she has always been well-educated. Trading her body is despised by women.
After only a moment of hesitation, she thought: The ancients would sacrifice their lives to save their fathers, sell their bodies to bury their relatives, etc. She just did what she could do as a daughter at this stage. Apart from her good face and figure, she really had nothing else to do. Something you can get your hands on. What's more important, my father's life or my own body? She moved toward the house mechanically step by step, as if her legs were weighing a thousand pounds.
What does this young commander look like? I heard that his father, Marshal Zhang, the governor of Fengtian City, was a bandit. Suddenly, the image of a bandit with yellow teeth, a pipe in his mouth, an open coat, and a leather hat crookedly brought to mind by the old people. I heard from the servants around me that this young marshal drank Maoru's blood and killed people without blinking an eye. I heard that many captured Mongolian bandits died from exhaustion while building roads and canals, and some who tried to escape were beaten to death. Those who are still alive are punished with heavier labor. What a cruel figure this is!
Thinking about being occupied by such a man, she couldn't help but trembled with her shoulders shaking. As an innocent daughter, she regretted this trip. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 207 Transaction
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing quietly looked at the girl who was hesitantly walking forward with her head lowered and being supported by the maid, and felt a different feeling in her heart.
It’s not just about beauty.
He has seen many beautiful girls in Fengtian this year. There are those who are Xiaojiabiyu, those who are well-educated in drinking foreign ink, and those who are traditional virtues. Their beauty each has its own characteristics.
Of the women I have experienced, Yu Fengzhi has a noble temperament, is gentle, generous and decent. This is due to her family background, or because she is a head wife and tradition requires her to do so; Red Peony is a naturally charming, enchanting and traditional Chinese woman The mentality of surrender; and the "Company Commander" who had a lingering relationship not long ago is purely a coquettish and gorgeous match for the field battle.
But this woman should be said to be a girl, but she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, right? He has a kind of perseverance that is rare among his peers. She was wearing a white mink fur coat, and with her pretty face and fair skin, she looked even more refined. Her figure was tightly wrapped in a coat. Although it was difficult to see her true appearance, she had a proud face. Judging from the appearance, she would definitely not be any worse. Zhang Hanqing judged from experience.
Although he has never met her, Xiao Zhang is naturally familiar with beautiful women and is always a guest. Of course, now that he is living in his own place to nourish his energy, he can already keep his expression low. What's more, don't be too impatient with beautiful women, otherwise it will be counterproductive. He asked slowly: "Girl, are you looking for me? I don't know you."
Huang Wanqing, who was feeling uneasy, had already seen Zhang Hanqing's true face from the corner of his eyes. Of course, he was shocked: unlike the legend, this young marshal was not only very young, but also very handsome. Listening to him speak, he is also very kind, not like the legendary evil spirit?
“At least it’s not like what she imagined, which reassures her a lot. Huh? Why are you relieved? Just as men love beautiful women, this woman also has little resistance to handsome men. Although Zhang Hanqing is modest, he is also one of the four most beautiful men in the Republic of China (the first one has not been verified, but what does it matter?) In short, even if he does not talk about his life experience, he still has the ability to seduce women.
Huang Wanqing's face turned red when she thought of the purpose of her trip. "Will he think that I am too casual and a flirtatious girl, so he will look down on me?" But another voice said: "What does it matter? You were originally going to seduce him to achieve the purpose of saving your father. . Why do you care too much about him? This is the enemy of your Huang family!"
Just when he was worried about gains and losses, Zhang Hanqing had already stood up. He diligently poured him a cup of tea.
The tea is good tea, but the cup belongs to Zhang Hanqing himself. But even if few others came into the room, his conditions would not be so shabby. The reason for doing this is purely a prank. He didn't pass it to the maid, but handed it directly to her hand.
Huang Wanqing held up the hot tea cup, with thousands of words in her heart, but she didn't know where to start. Although she was highly praised by her father for being an expert in managing the Huang family's finances, she was faced with piles of paper receipts. It was the first time in this kind of situation that I really faced a man of the opposite sex alone. Thinking that his innocence would be ruined here, even if his father was rescued from the Huang family, his vitality would be greatly damaged. He felt sad in his heart, and his tears rolled into the hot teacup like broken pearls and melted into one.
Zhang Hanqing hates seeing women shed tears, especially beautiful and young girls. He lamented his misfortune from the bottom of his heart and said: "Girl, if you have any difficulties, please tell me. If I can help you, I will definitely help you." For beautiful girls in adversity, Zhang Hanqing does not hesitate to lend a helping hand. This is the best thing in the world. Good moral character shared by men: cherish the beauty and cherish the beauty.
Huang Wanqing raised her tearful face, allowing Zhang Hanqing to observe her handsome face more clearly. Absolutely a beauty! Huacong veteran Zhang Hanqing came to this conclusion.
Huang Wanqing mustered up her courage: "I can. Please let my father go."
Zhang Hanqing was a little excited: "Who is your father?"
Huang Wanqing said anxiously: "His name is Huang Fengting, and he was arrested and taken to the county special court a few days ago."
Mr. Huang Sanye is a major example of those caught during the land reform in Xinmin County: he has a rich background, but is not as big as ordinary people imagine; he has huge wealth, which is an important source of funds for the Guard Brigade that is urgently needed; the evidence of his crime is conclusive, and he can be punished It is a warning to the Fengtian sect, and it is also a famous example. Such a figure who combines various useful elements is the meat and potatoes for the Guards Brigade and the Land Reform Committee to make a big fuss about.
Zhang Hanqing was happy. Lao Huang originally wanted to let go, but he didn't expect that he could give him a favor at the end of the day. However, in order to make this favor appear even greater, he sighed with emotion, it turned out to be really him! I wanted to do something nice in front of a beautiful woman, but now it’s hard to do it! How to let him go?
Zhang Hanqing frowned, Huang Wanqing saw clearly, and pausedI felt my heart sinking. She quickly added: "As long as my father can be released, we are willing to donate the Huang family's property and fields."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? but she are really good material for doing business. At this time, she still wants to trade with something that is no longer a bargaining chip. Zhang Hanqing looked at this shrewd girl, smiled slightly and said: "Girl, you are so calculating! The Huang family has been confiscated, and this family property is no longer yours; the fields have been taken over by the government, so naturally you don't need to distribute them. Your father It is intolerable to do everything possible to obstruct land reform and collude with outsiders to put pressure on us. Our committee has decided to impose severe punishment on this matter, and confiscation of the house is just an add-on. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Girl, please go back."
He had never thought about taking Huang Tingfeng's life. His value has been used up so far. Detaining him was just a gesture to the people far and near. I heard that the eldest and second brothers of the Huang family are both wealthy owners. If they can pay a ransom, they can naturally solve the case satisfactorily with the best of both worlds. Of course, when talking about business, you have to ask for a high price. As for whether to pay back the money, it depends on the person you are dealing with.
Huang Wanqing didn’t know. In her opinion, "criticism" should be a very severe punishment. After all, it was a newly invented punishment by the young marshal during the land reform period. This County Magistrate Xiao Zhang may not seem polite and elegant, but when he is ruthless, he really kills people without blinking an eye. Didn't he see thousands of bandits being killed in one pot? If we can't reach an agreement this time, the outcome will be really unpredictable. She was ready to feed the tiger with her own body, but it was difficult to make this decision before the last moment.
Now it was the last moment. She turned around and glanced at the maid beside her, and said softly: "Tui'er, you go outside to talk to this military master first." She looked at Zhu Guangmu, "I have something to say to the young master." Shuai said it alone."
Zhu Guangmu looked at the two girls warily. They were considered "enemies", and he was worried about what would happen if he left the young marshal alone here. Zhang Ciqing smiled and said it was okay, and he nodded. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 209 Arrogant Lao Dai

Huang Wanqing returned to Zhao with the jade intact, but Zhang Hanqing was on pins and needles. He was already young and had a strong need in this area. During the few days he came to Xinmin, he worked hard to suppress this Yang Qi. He finally had some success, but it was completely lost by Huang Wanqing's pretty face. . With nothing to do, he simply went back to the provincial capital to find Dai Xianzhi's bad luck.
Lao Dai drank some wine at this time and said proudly: I heard that the young marshal encountered a problem in Xinmin, and Marshal Feng also put pressure on him. Let's see how Zhang Hanqing ends up? You're such a bullshit, I've already made you miserable with just one sentence! He hummed a little tune and lay contentedly in the Taishi chair.
The woman next to him quit: "You asked my third uncle to reveal everything to Marshal Feng. If the Marshal finds out, let's see how you end it!" This woman also has a good-looking appearance, with a vague shadow of Huang Wanqing. She is Huang Wanqing's cousin. Huang Ruqing, the daughter of the second master’s family. It has been two years since she married into the Dai family, but she has maintained her figure well because she has not yet given birth. She is said to be one of the most beautiful beauties, but it is a pity that she does not catch the eye of Lao Dai: Lao Dai still likes fireworks women, she is quite charming.
When Dai Xianzhi heard this, he laughed and said: "Speaking of the handsome man, it's really chilling! My sister has been with him for a few years, but she doesn't want to do a lot for me when she is in business. I can see that several people in the same period as me have done it. The platoon commander, and a guard who even became the deputy company commander, still let me be a shitty guard, are not afraid of being shabby! Forget it, that little beast also came to show my face. I only need to say a word to make him unable to eat. Let's go, you damn young marshal!" Thinking of this, he was still angry: "Damn it, Xu Laowen also gave me a show of strength, relying on the power of the little beast to pretend to be a tiger! If I don't give him a taste today, He doesn’t know that Lord Ma has three eyes!”
"As soon as he said something, Dai Xianzhi straightened up and left. Huang Ruqing was thoroughly accustomed to the three obediences and the four virtues, and did not dare to dissuade him from his behavior at all. He just said: "Drink less and cause less trouble." While talking to himself, Dai Xianzhi had already gone far away.
Riding on the drunkenness, Lao Dai staggered into the blind alley. This road was familiar to everyone, and he spent ten days a month in Xu Mansion. "Xu Jing, this pustule, is cuckolding the male master of the Xu family, but he makes himself the male master every night, and wants to use the young commander to break the situation, why don't you just pee and take a picture! I'll go there again tonight In your house, fuck your mother-in-law in front of you, what will happen to you?" Dai Xianzhi couldn't help but feel hot in his heart when he thought of the seductive body of the "Company Commander".
Knocking on the door, Xu Jing was not at home, only the "company commander" was there. At this moment, the spermatozoon was in its head and couldn't care about anything else. It just shouted: "Open the door, open the door!"
"The company commander" was favored by Zhang Hanqing, and he felt that his worth had doubled, so he looked down on Dai Xianzhi, who was already potbellied. In fact, it's not that she doesn't look down on him, it's just that her man is weak, and Dai Xianzhi took advantage of him after being teased and hardened three or two times, and she couldn't do anything about it. Now that he has the support of the young marshal, Dai Xianzhi falls behind in this comparison. From that day on, she became a good person in her heart.
I didn’t expect that after a few days, this scumbag returned to his old ways and came to visit me again. Although the "Company Commander" was dissolute, she still cared about her reputation, although her reputation was far less good than she imagined. Seeing Dai Xianzhi shouting loudly, it was night again, so he couldn't help but get angry and shouted: "Lao Xu is not at home, I have something to say tomorrow."
Dai Xianzhi came here not to talk, he shouted: "Little girl, please open the door quickly, I can't hold it in anymore. Mom, it's not your first time with me, why are you pretending!"
"Company Commander" is a person who has to build a memorial arch for his job, and his neighbors are all around him. How can he "become a human being" when he yells at him like this? He was furious at the moment: "Why are you so boring! If you yell again, I'm going to scream!"
Dai Xianzhi laughed loudly: "Go to the bed and scream. What are you calling me for? Later, I will let you scream as hard as you can, as loud as you can!" He went to smash the door regardless.
"Company Commander" has a feeling that he wants to be a lady but cannot get it. If the door is opened, of course Dai Xianzhi can do whatever he wants and everything will stop. It's just that I really don't want to accompany this kind of scum anymore: he has neither grace nor magnanimity, he doesn't have much money, he doesn't have much power, he has nothing to offer except a pile of fat, and even doing that thing makes people unhappy. He still I feel like I'm "pretty" good.
I heard that the young marshal has returned to the provincial capital again. I wonder if the young marshal can still remember me? Thinking that all his skills are used on the young marshal, he must be bored, right? He might come looking for him again one day, but he couldn't afford to let things slip now. Therefore, no matter how Dai Xianzhi knocked on the door, she had a firm belief: No matter what, she couldn't give it to him tonight!
It hurt my hand from the smashing, and there was no sign of the door opening, so Dai Xianzhi became angry. He pointed at the door and yelled: "Little bastard! If you don't open the door, I will shoot it open!"
Knowing that he had been offended, the "Company Commander" didn't even dare to open the door. He didn't believe that he really dared to do this, so he hid behind the door and let him yell.??.
Seeing no one answer for a long time, Lao Dai felt his self-esteem was hurt. He picked up the rifle, loaded the bullet, and fired a shot at the door latch. The sound of gunshots was even more shrill at night, causing the "company commander" hiding behind the door to cover his ears and scream.
Dai Xianzhi became even more proud after drinking. At this time, the neighbors heard gunshots, and the timid ones were all worried. The bolder ones looked through windows, door cracks, or under the street lights at the entrance of the alley. His eyes widened: "What are you looking at!" Seeing that there were still people looking around, he felt impatient, raised the gun in his hand, pointed it at the street lamp, and struck hard with "pop, bang, bang". Needless to say, his marksmanship was still very accurate. In a moment, the nearby street lights were shattered, leaving only darkness. The onlookers were afraid that in the dark night, their vision would be poor, the bullets would be merciless, and the famous Mr. Dai would go crazy with alcohol, so they all quietly dodged back.
He got even more mad and hit the door with his gun, but the door opened with a "squeak" and he almost missed him. It turned out that the "company commander" saw him having a manic attack and quietly opened the door latch for fear of hurting others and being unable to do good. Dai Xianzhi came in in the dark, humming: "Little slut, let's see if my shooting skills are accurate? My other gun is more accurate, do you want to try it again?" he said as he walked away.
He had heard the "Company Commander" scream just now, and he was more familiar with the Xu Mansion's road than his own. Although he was a little drunk, his hearing was somehow better. After a few steps, he found the "Company Commander"'s hiding place, hugged him and smacked his lips: "My dear, you miss me so much."
Since he couldn't escape and the master of the house was not around, the "Company Commander" accepted his fate. Dai Xianzhi, who knew the way well, followed the "Company Commander" to the bedroom, randomly took off her clothes, took off her pants again and again, and poked them in. The "Company Commander" was in pain, but couldn't resist the man's strength, so he just struggled and shouted. However, after Dai Xianzhi made a few big moves, the "Company Commander" found the feeling and left it to him.
While I was having fun, suddenly there was the sound of footsteps outside, and a large number of people broke in. Dai Xianzhi's wine had already gotten stronger and he was still excited, so this feeling slowed down a bit. The "Company Commander" was extremely sober. When she saw someone coming, she knew something was wrong, so she pretended to struggle and called out "no" twice in a crying voice.
Among those who came, Xu Jing took the lead. Seeing his woman's naked body twitching while being held down by a man, he became angry and took the rifle beside the bed and shined it on Dai Xianzhi's back. Dai Xianzhi also woke up during this dazzling moment. His skills were not that bad yet, so he instinctively hunched forward to avoid it. However, the upper body escaped, but the buttocks actually received a blow, which made him "hiss" in pain and split his mouth. Xu Jing stepped forward and kicked Dai Xianzhi over, pulled the woman up naked from the bed, and slapped her with a raised hand.
Others swarmed up and tied up the naked Dai Xianzhi, regardless of the fact that it was early winter.
The "Company Commander" who had regained her composure quickly showed her fierce nature. She took advantage of the chaos and pulled a coat from someone unknown to cover her body. When she was ready, she suddenly cried loudly and said: "You damn ghost, I struggled so hard to stop him, but it took a lot of effort to prevent him from succeeding, and you came here." One shot and it went in!”
Everyone who knew about it laughed, and someone said: "Sister-in-law, everyone knows what kind of person you are. Stop talking and put on your pants. It's cold outside." Many of these people are " "Company Commander"'s former comrade-in-arms, "Company Commander" just took it easy to avoid being said anything bad again.
But Dai Xianzhi had completely sobered up. It was really uncomfortable to be pulled out just as he was about to enter Hong Kong. Not to mention that he couldn't feel the cold even though he had been exerting force. He was naked on the ground and was shivering in the cold for a moment. When his mind calmed down, he woke up from the initial fright and returned to his former arrogance. He shouted: "Xu Laowen, let me go now. No one knows the details of your wife. She and I are consensual. At worst, I will give you some money to compensate!" Three points. Although he was confident, his last words still showed his timidity.
Xu Jing was surprisingly calm. He looked at Dai Xianzhi and said quietly: "Do you need to shoot to support the two sides? Dai Xianzhi, you are good at using guns to rape civilian women. The evidence of your crime is conclusive. If you have any questions, please tell the commander clearly. .”
When Dai Xianzhi saw Xu Jing's calmness, he felt it was hard to be kind, so he became very bachelor, but the cold shivering was unbearable. He said with some trembling: "Since I am meeting the commander-in-chief, I must be allowed to wear some clothes."
Xu Jing sneered and said: "Catching a thief will reveal the stolen goods, and catching an adulterer will reveal the couple. This naked body is the proof. How can you put on the clothes that the uncle took off so easily? Let the commander see with his own eyes how you carry it. It’s because he is dominating outside!”
Dai Xianzhi said angrily: "It's not a death penalty to play with a woman, you are trying to freeze me to death!"
Xu Jing lay in his ear and said softly: "Yes, I just want you to die!" A flash of cold light in his eyes made Dai Xianzhi shudder. Is this still the old Xu Laowei? Who gave him the courage? Not only was he full of bad intentions, but he suddenly became enlightened just by thinking: "Did the young marshal tell you to trick me?"
Xu Jing looked at him and said after a while: "It's God." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Is he still the old Xu Laowei? Who gave him the courage?

Chapter 211 In front of the bed
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
At this time, the Marshal's Mansion was shrouded in solemnity. I heard that the military governor was angry and wanted to kill even the "guo uncle". No one could plead for mercy. How angry he must be! I don’t know why, so I’m afraid. Everyone was cautious, fearing that if they were not careful, they would anger the commander again.
Huang Ruqing successfully entered the small courtyard of the third wife of the Marshal's Mansion. She was a frequent visitor. When his father betrothed him to Dai Xianzhi, he was not interested at all. It was only because of the relationship between the third wife and his wife that he reluctantly agreed to the marriage. So after the marriage, she and the third wife's sister-in-law kept getting along frequently, and my father originally planned to take advantage of the third wife's influence.
"However, Zhang Zuolin was very strict in running his family. Although Mrs. Dai received favor, it was only within the house and could not exert any power outside. In the past few years, her father Huang Xianting's business has grown bigger and bigger, but it has nothing to do with the Dai family, which made him regret it: Dai Xianzhi was born as a playboy, and he didn't expect him to do anything. He didn't even have half of the power that the Zhang family should have. , and even posted a beautiful girl like a flower for nothing. Huang Xianting's complaints infected Huang Ruqing. Later, when he saw that Dai Xianzhi was really useless, he had no intention of visiting again.
When I encountered this incident, my sister-in-law was heartbroken again. As soon as they discussed it on the hospital bed, the two of them decided that the problem was not the so-called "violation of women" or random shootings that broke a few light bulbs, but the dispute between Dai Xianzhi and the young marshal.
Regarding the rivalry between them, it has been well-publicized in private: Why did Dai Xianzhi see that Xu Jing was weak and could be bullied, so he insisted on stealing his beautiful woman for love? Xu Jing was not angry and seduced the young marshal to take his wife; "Company Commander" "The battle with the young marshal San Lily successfully blew the pillow wind, so the young marshal stood up for her and wanted to dominate the "company commander". Dai Xianzhi refused to accept and challenged him. Unfortunately, in the end, he was not as powerful as the young marshal, and he successfully obtained it. The handle must be completely eliminated from the body.
Although all kinds of speculations are groundless, they are surprisingly consistent with the facts. However, some of the plots in them can make people daydream: What kind of "company commander" locks the young marshal with his natural charm, and the young marshal, although brave, is too young to be defeated by his experience. War, various descriptions of old men pushing carts, holding the moon in their arms, old trees with roots, etc. are vivid and vivid, adding countless words to a bunch of bored idlers.
"What no one knows is that the first people to report this matter were actually the rumored heroine "Company Commander" and his wife: "Company Commander" wants to use the name of Young Marshal to rise to the top, so why not waste one's clothes? Besides, he has already spent money on it. With this halo, she will be more eye-catching and her class will be higher; and Xu Jing is also prepared to use this to dispel the flies, or at least make others respect him indirectly by sharing a woman with the young marshal, even if this "respect" is actually It is a kind of disdain and innuendo.
These are not what the aunt and sister-in-law care about. What they care about is Dai Xianzhi’s life and death. If it was really because of this incident, there seemed to be a good chance of saving him from jail.
So an extremely charming scene appeared in Zhang Hanqing's bedroom: Huang Ruqing, who was not wearing makeup, was crying and kneeling in front of the bed, Dai Xianyu was supported and leaned against the door and cried silently, and Zhang Hanqing's personal maid Chunni exerted all her strength. They couldn't pull her; and the young marshal who was hugging Yu Fengzhi lay in bed unable to survive - he was naked and couldn't do anything; and Yu Fengzhi also hid under the bed with a red face - -She was stripped like onions all over by her husband because she couldn't say anything she wanted to say. The newlyweds have not seen each other for many days, so naturally a little separation is better than a wedding. It was also Dai Xianzhi's mother-in-law who came too early, causing the young couple to spend the early morning cozying up without any preparation. Their clothes were all taken off aside, and it was difficult to reach out, so the young couple lay on the bed and watched Huang Ruqing crying and begging for mercy, with runny nose and tears. There was nothing they could do.
This situation reminded Zhang Hanqing of a limerick: "There is bright moonlight in front of the bed, and two pairs of shoes on the floor. A couple of dogs and a man, including you." Some changed it to "Looking up at the bright moon, bowing down to think about the fragrance of autumn." , there are also "raise your head to look at the bright moon, lower your head to mend your crotch", and "raise your head to look at the bright moon, you two are in the center". This life is the source of creation of the working people. Hey, who said that?
It’s hard for him to think of so many things at this time.
For a scum like Dai Xianzhi, he must get rid of him as soon as possible. Different from Zhang Zuolin's thinking, he didn't think it was a big deal to collude with Feng Delin. It was human nature to use tiger skin to make a coat. In these troubled times, the strong is king. What he couldn't accept was that this guy was so worthless that he had no ability to win a woman's heart, but he wanted to do what a bully would do to him. This was a bit despising. Moreover, as a soldier, he did not know how to protect the country and the people, and often used guns to show his power. This was his murderous intention.
And after he successfully aroused his father's anger, the rest of the matter was beyond his control. Of course, he would not add fuel to the fire, nor would he ask for this favor for him, it was up to God. However, the woman following Dai Xianyu is a beautiful girl from whose family, she looks pretty good.
He was bored in bed and said very dissatisfied:?Sanniang! You have come to the wrong person for this matter! You know the right and wrong, the state-owned legal family has family rules, what's the use of coming to my room? ! "
After a night of torture, Dai Xianyu's body was extremely weak, but he still persisted in speaking: "Han Qing, Sanniang is begging you this time. He was blinded by eating lard. He shouldn't have done it. He shouldn't have done it." He has the same brains as you to snatch women! But even so, the crime does not end there. It is enough for the commander to freeze him for one night, or you can punish him as long as he lives. He is the only one left in our Huang family. , if anything goes wrong, how do you want me to see my parents under Jiuquan!"
What she said meant that the cause of the incident was that the two were jealous, which led to the young marshal taking advantage of personal opportunities to vent his hatred. This insulted Zhang Hanqing's character enough: it's really not worth it for this kind of woman. But it seemed that everyone in the Marshal's mansion knew this story. The maids in each room who were watching stretched their ears to see how the Marshal would defend himself.
Zhang Hanqing’s head was as big as a bucket. Even though he was in a hot bed, the cold air rushed straight into his heart. I didn't see the face of the person next to the pillow, but I thought it must be a good look.
Huang Ruqing added more completely: "Young Marshal, that woman was originally a kiln sister. I heard that she was still restless after being taken as a concubine by Xu Laowen. There are at least hundreds of men who have slept with her. Otherwise, why would she have a nickname? Where's the 'Company Commander'? Our Lao Dai has been with her for not more than three months but also half a year. How can we use this flirtatious bitch to break into the house and rape her? Lao Dai was framed!"
Yes, this one has been cleared out more completely. Dare to be in love is just a romantic affair. According to her, it is nothing if a man is in love with a woman. In the end, she only needs to pay a few light bulbs to get over it. This reminded Zhang Hanqing of a famous judicial debate story in later generations: Is rape with a condom considered rape? It turns out that this woman is Dai Xianzhi's woman, no wonder she is so interested in her. However, this old-fashioned pig-like person got a tender Chinese cabbage, which is really a trick of fate. It's really heartbreaking to see her crying so hard.
Zhang Hanqing had to explain, otherwise his reputation would really get bad, especially with his wife. He cleared his throat, exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and then the breath sank into his Dantian, meditating on how to use his powerful tongue to breathe life back into the dead. However, he only said "uh~" and then changed to "oh" sound, and then stopped suddenly and suppressed.
That was because Yu Fengzhi, who was grieving and angry, used the power of a woman to let Zhang Hanqing taste the power of a fire in the backyard. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 212 Ending
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
While everyone still didn't know what was going on, Yu Fengzhi spoke quietly: "Sanniang, Mrs. Huang, although Fengzhi doesn't understand the origin of the matter, she can't accept your involvement of Han Qing in this matter. Han Qing's current His position is the assistant county magistrate of Xinmin and the deputy brigade commander in charge of the Guard Brigade. He has no control over Fengtian's affairs. If you think there is any grievance, the Marshal is in the mansion and the Fengtian High Court of Justice is not far away. Let’s argue. Isn’t it a bit against the rules for you to make trouble in my bedroom so early in the morning? That’s not how we talk about things!”
In bed, Zhang Hanqing was really hurt by being twisted. That was when Yu Feng was angry and used the phoenix claws. Zhang Hanqing was afraid that she might have fetal motility, so he just groaned and didn't dare to resist. This feeling was really uncomfortable. Yu Fengzhi started to itch with hatred, but she couldn't bear it anymore when she saw her husband's petty behavior. She had more questions on her mind.
Beating is a matter of kissing and scolding, and sleeping together behind closed doors. This husband's reputation cannot be ruined by these two women. Although he listened to the preface and afterwords and thought about the right and wrong, his little husband probably couldn't tell the truth. In addition, Yu Fengzhi was able to gain the love of her father-in-law Zhang Zuolin, not only because of her relationship with Yu Wendou and her eldest daughter-in-law, but also because she was arrogant and never interfered in political affairs.
Men are responsible for doing big things, including housework, and women need to take action.
To be honest, if Yu Fengzhi and Dai Xianyu had a good relationship, they wouldn't say it so simply. Ever since she entered the Zhang family, the third lady's "cooperation" with her has not been good. As the eldest mistress of the handsome manor, Yu Fengzhi naturally took over the power of the housekeeper, which caused a conflict with Dai Xianyu. However, Dai Xianyu still had a hard time gaining the upper hand because Zhang Zuolin trusted his daughter-in-law. Dai Xianyu could only make some obstacles secretly, but could not make any difference on the scene. In this regard, Yu Fengzhi would occasionally blow pillows when Zhang Hanqing was around, as a woman.
"But Zhang Hanqing was rarely around, coming and going in a hurry. She was still intoxicated in the sweetness of the honeymoon, so she just talked about it. She didn't want these trivial things to make her husband bored. Besides, newlyweds have a lot of fun things to do in the evening, so it can’t be too distracting, right?
Yu Fengzhi is a woman raised by a large family. She values ??"harmony" in everything she does and will not get angry easily unless absolutely necessary. But when the two women under the bed smeared her husband's face, she couldn't help but get angry - even if Han Qing had an affair with that woman, what happened? Is it necessarily related to Dai Xianzhi’s arrest? Why do you have to say it on this occasion? Just because Han Qing was wrong does not mean that Dai Xianzhi was right. Thinking about it this way, Dai Xianzhi deserves to die!
The two closest relatives of Dai Xianzhi did not understand at this occasion that their actions that seemed to muddy the waters made things worse. Dai Xianyu knew Yu Fengzhi's position in the Marshal's heart. She came here thinking of a way to defeat the soldiers and beg for mercy to the Marshal and the Young Madam. She probably only had to say that and it would be done. Unexpectedly, Huang Ruqing was so eager to protect her husband that she spoke so badly of Xu Jing's woman, which angered Yu Fengzhi.
But she still didn’t give up, and hurriedly nodded and exited, while nagging: “For my sake, young lady, please come out and say a favor to the handsome man. The whole Huang family feels a great debt of gratitude.”
As the bedroom door was closed, Yu Fengzhi angrily opened the bed and put on his clothes, regardless of whether the cool breeze hurt the naked Zhang Hanqing. When she came to the Zhang family, she had always presented herself as a refined person. After being treated like this this morning, almost everyone knew that the young master and the young mistress had to take off their clothes to sleep together, although this was known to everyone. fact. But seeing it and not seeing it have different meanings. She hadn't been married for long, and she was still very thin-skinned.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and the cover of something she had been unwilling to face head-on was lifted. Zhang Hanqing's romantic affair was broadcast to her through a loudspeaker, and she was an undecent woman who could do everything she could. This made her feel extremely embarrassed.
Zhang Hanqing knows the power of gossip, and the way to solve it is to ignore, ignore, and treat it coldly, especially this matter between men and women, which is very curious. As long as the news gets out, there is basically no cure unless the culprit is found and his innocence is publicized. But he knows his own affairs, and he is not clear about it. Given his status, denying it would only make others say, "The young marshal does not admit that he has an affair with someone," which would only increase curiosity. Therefore, he treated the "rumors" about him by the Commander-in-Chief in an indifferent manner. Anyway, if you weren't caught red-handed, what's the point?
But the people around you need to settle things down. Zhang Hanqing is still good at women. He knows that now is the best time to solve the problem. The two of them meet naked under the quilt and can talk about anything. He grabbed Feng Zhi's waist and hugged her into the bed. Yu Fengzhi pushed away angrily, where could he push?
Zhang Hanqing leaned beside her, stopping her resistance, and whispered into her ear: "Honey, do you doubt me too?"
 Xiangxiaoyu died at the age of nearly thirty-one.
Dai Xianyu stayed in the Zhang family for ten years and left no children or photos. Since she left, no one in the Zhang family dared to mention her in front of Zhang Zuolin, as if this person never existed. And every time Zhang Zuolin passed by this ancient nunnery, he would always rush past, leaving the vague sound of horse hoofs echoing in the wilderness
"But from now on, people in the Marshal's Mansion will be more cautious in their words and deeds, and no one will behave erratically and cause trouble." The people of Fengtian City knew about this and respected Zhang Zuolin even more. It is said that Dashuai Zhang has his own rules for doing things, and no one can violate them. If Dai Xianzhi knew that his death would indirectly enhance Zhang Zuolin's prestige, would he think that his death was a well-deserved death? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 213 Another Contest
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Dai Xianzhi's death made Huang Ruqing depressed for a while, which made her mother very worried. After discussing it with her husband, she sent someone to take her daughter home. As for the Dai Mansion, since there were no relatives left, the house was sold.
Huang Ruqing’s father is Huang Xianting, the deacon of Ruihuanchang, the largest gold store in Fengtian City. He is also the vice president of Fengtian Chamber of Commerce, and his status in the business world is very transcendent. It was very distressing to see my daughter, who was originally so beautiful, wither away in just a few days. After the death of his son-in-law, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: He originally married his beautiful daughter to Dai Xianzhi because of the power of the commander behind him, but he didn't expect that this kid couldn't stand up to the wall. Little effect. If he dies, he will die, and his daughter will finally be free. She is still young and can marry into a good family.
But he was very annoyed about this: his son-in-law’s life was lost just because he slept with an unruly concubine and broke a few worthless light bulbs? Isn’t this too shameless? If Zhang Zuolin only imprisoned him for a few years, he could use this as an excuse to remarry his daughter.
“But when it comes to the death of my son-in-law, if I don’t say anything, it will make people think that the Huang family is nothing special. I heard that the third brother's property in the countryside had been confiscated and he has not been released yet. The eldest brother was also dismissed from the position of director of the Civil Affairs Department. Seeing that he was about to resign, if the matter of his son-in-law came up, he would sometimes I also wonder: Is this handsome man in conflict with the Huang family? How to go against the Huang family everywhere?
And Zhang Zuolin will definitely be on guard because of this. His position as president of the Fengtian General Chamber of Commerce will not be fulfilled until the end of the year! Doing business depends on popularity. If it languishes because of this incident, the future will be difficult.
The matter of Zhang Zuolin's shooting of his brother-in-law was a big deal in Fengtian, so Feng Delin naturally got the news. He is also an old and cunning person. He took the opportunity to cause trouble some time ago but failed, and he was still holding his breath. Now he has taken a fancy to this good opportunity. He sent someone to contact Huang Xianting: "Brother Yu is still planning to rescue the third master, and I heard that the wise son-in-law passed away. I am extremely sad! Fengtian has been preyed upon by Zhang Zuolin for a long time, and both humans and gods are angry! Unfortunately, his wings are too big to fight head-on. I heard Zhang Zuolin is recruiting troops and horses, and the provincial capital's finances are very tight. I should use my advantage to disrupt his money and make the economy in chaos. Then the troops and horses will have no pay and will naturally become disengaged. If I take advantage of the opportunity to exert pressure, I will surely alert the central government and either replace or drive away , then the influence of the Zhang family can be eliminated from the root, and the Huang family can also take revenge. As for the matter of the third master, it can also be solved easily. "
To put it bluntly, Feng Delin wants to pull out all the firepower and use Huang Xianting's power to disrupt Fengtian's economy. This is very feasible. In fact, Lao Huang has already been doing it.
Since the beginning of the Republic of China, the country has issued silver coins, which we often call Da Yang. This is a real thing: China has not yet broken away from the silver standard. Take the silver dollar issued in the third year of the Republic of China as an example. It contains 89% silver and weighs 7 2 cents of money is one dollar. However, the currency value of the silver dollar is too large, and it is very inconvenient to circulate in the market, just like in modern times, when we have hundred-dollar bills, we still need to issue a large number of small changes. At that time, all provinces had the right to mint coins, which of course meant small coins. In Fengtian, many small coins were issued, called Fengtian small foreign notes.
The reason why it is called "Little Ocean" is actually relative to "Big Ocean". In ancient my country, silver was the main currency, but the earliest silver coins came from abroad. In the early years, it was customary to add the word "foreign" to everything that came from foreign countries. Naturally, the same was true for silver coins minted by foreigners, which were called "foreign money". At that time, there was also a customary saying that a large silver coin in yuan was called a big ocean, and a small silver coin in jiao was called a small ocean. This is where what we usually call Feng Dayang and Feng Xiaoyang come from.
Fengxiaoyang notes are based on cash and began to be issued in the 32nd year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty. After the founding of the Republic of China, the Bank of Communications immediately issued 500,000 yuan in small foreign notes to recover the old banknotes issued in the Qing Dynasty. In 1913, the state-owned Fengtian Official Bank (later changed to the Eastern Three Provinces Official Bank) and Fengtian Industrial Bank issued small bank exchange notes in three denominations: jiao, 2 jiao, and 5 jiao, commonly known as Feng Xiaoyang.
??At first, Feng Xiaoyang could cash in unlimited amounts, that is, with the exchange coupon, he could redeem the full amount of small silver dollars from the bank. At this time, Feng Xiaoyang's purchasing power was strong and the people had confidence.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. In the fifth year of the Republic of China, World War I entered deep waters. Since most European countries adopt the gold standard, while most Asian countries adopt the silver standard, when European countries come to Asia to buy strategic materials, they must sell gold and buy silver. As a result, a situation emerged where the price of gold fell sharply and the price of silver rose sharply, which is called "gold is cheap and silver is expensive."
Because silver coins are more valuable than small silver coins, if you melt small silver coins into pieces and exchange them for gold, you can make a profit. Therefore, the Japanese in the Manchurian Railway affiliated area colluded with Chinese money merchants and exchanged tens of thousands of yuan for small silver dollars at a bank in Fengtian every day. Then, in Fengtian or Dalian, they melted the small silver into silver coins, and then bought and sold them for huge profits. YesAccording to data, if you convert in this way, you can make a profit of five to six hundred yuan for every 10,000 yuan.
But there is an essential difference between bank runs and currency circulation. Although Chinese money merchants know that they are profitable, they still have some concerns. But the Japanese don't care about this. Destroying our country's financial system is originally one of their "missions". Some unemployed Japanese simply started working as scalpers. The stores of Guanyinhao in Dongsan Province are often crowded by Japanese people. It is said that the Japanese's bankruptcies alone cost no less than 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a day. In August 1916, the amount of bank runs reached 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. Due to unstable silver prices and widespread bank runs, the official bank accounts of the three northeastern provinces suffered heavy losses. According to the memory of Jing Youyan, the former director of finance of the three northeastern provinces, the official bank accounts of the three northeastern provinces alone suffered "a daily loss of 80,000 to 90,000 yuan." . The value of the currency is unstable, and Feng Xiaoyang's credit is in decline.
Fengtian Industrial Bank, one of the two companies qualified to issue Fengtian small foreign bonds, also has its own hidden dangers. This bank, formerly known as Fengtian Agricultural Bank, was run by the government and was run by Feng Xiaoyang. When it was established, it had a rated capital of one million yuan. At the beginning of its opening, in July 1913, Fengtian Industrial Bank originally planned to issue shares with a reserve of 400,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, the banknotes of 800,000 yuan could not be collected as soon as they were issued, and more than 1.5 million yuan were issued.
Having tasted the sweetness, the authorities only increased the number of official shares to 700,000 yuan and commercial shares to 600,000 yuan in two years. By December 20, 1914, a total of 6.9 million yuan of small foreign notes had been issued. Its capital was already low, and it was eager for quick success and excessive issuance of banknotes. During the crisis, bank managers wanted to "increase the issuance of banknotes" to increase profits. During this period, the Fengtian Financial Secretary returned all official shares. This resulted in a serious shortage of reserves and a sharp decline in credit.
This is not the first financial crisis in Fengtian.
Back then, Zhao Erxun, the first governor of the three northeastern provinces, was forced to "negotiate" with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. because the Japanese businessman refused to accept Feng Xiaoyang. The final result was a nine-article agreement, in which the property deed worth 721,933.685 taels was transferred from the official bank of the three eastern provinces to Mitsui & Co. as a "guarantee". The mortgage could not be recovered until "the market is stable and banknotes are flowing smoothly." In this way, the Japanese merchants reluctantly agreed to accept Feng Xiaoyang, but the original Feng Xiaoyang was not honored for the time being. It was not until 1912 that the Guanyin No. of the Three Eastern Provinces took back the collateral, and the turmoil was finally settled. However, it is humiliating for a local government of one country to condescend to provide a "guarantee" to a businessman from another country. This can be regarded as a "characteristic of the times" at that time. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 214 Run

At this moment, Zhang Zuolin was appointed as the governor of Fengtian and the governor of the province. When he took office, even though he was faced with such a mess, people were really worried about him.
Zhang Zuolin is facing a serious fiscal and financial crisis: there are many kinds of banknotes in different names on the market. At that time, the banknotes circulating in the entire Northeast financial market included small foreign notes from Fengtian, large foreign notes from the official banks of the three northeastern provinces, Bank of China, and Bank of Communications, official stickers from Jilin and Heilongjiang, small foreign notes from Jilin, Harbin Dayang, and Japanese gold notes. There are all kinds of tickets, silver coupons, military coupons, etc.
Coupled with the further financial aggression by foreign banks, Fengtian’s financial chaos has worsened, and the financial crisis has worsened. Moreover, in addition to the foreign debt of 12 million yuan, Fengtian Finance still suffers losses of 2 to 3 million yuan every year. This is one of the reasons why Lao Zhang reacted relatively low-key to Feng Delin's call for Zhang Hanqing's request to reduce the number of troops. He was really in trouble.
If the financial plate cannot be held, Zhang Zuolin’s position as commander-in-chief cannot be secure.
But Zhang Zuolin did not back down. Before the Xinmin Land Reform, Zhang Zuolin made rectifying Fengtian's chaotic finance a priority and appointed Wang Shuhan as the director of the Department of Finance. Liu Shangqing continued to serve as the general office of the official bank account of the three eastern provinces. To this end, he ordered the printing and distribution of banknotes while confiscating private notes. He used various methods, but with little success.
With the help of Wang Yongjiang, Liu Shangqing and others, Zhang Zuolin began to organize Fengtian's finances. On August 4, he issued an order declaring that Fengtian's currency would be based on the ocean. On August 18, the Fengtian General Chamber of Commerce and the Japan Chamber of Commerce reached an agreement after difficult negotiations, stipulating that "the small foreign notes issued by Fengtian Liuxinghao will be exchanged for large silver dollars, Japanese gold notes, pure gold banknotes and rubles, but the ruble Without the consent of the exchanger, no forced payment is allowed." It was also agreed that the daily redemption limit would be 80,000 yuan. These measures have alleviated the vicious spread of the run to a certain extent.
However, the Zhangs and his son's attack on the Babu Zabu rebels and their direct retaliation to the Japanese still made the Japanese feel grudge, not to mention that the Japanese only supported Lao Zhang to make money. There is a group of Japanese ronin who do not do their job and go to the bank to exchange small foreign currency for cash, which makes the bank unable to cope with it. Wei Xijiu said: "At that time, the money had to be transferred to Tianjin and Shanghai through Donghui (Japanese gold), and then transported back to Shenyang as a reserve fund for exchange. , the cash exchanged by the Japanese had to be taken back by the local people at a high price."
And such "recovery at a high price" has further fueled the enthusiasm of Japanese ronin. At the end of September, more than 50 Japanese went to Guanyinhao and other banks in groups to force exchange, and the amount was so huge that it was difficult to cope with it. After the Fengtian Chamber of Commerce came forward to mediate and promised to exchange 500,000 yuan within 5 days, the Japanese were willing to give up. For the Fengtian authorities, this was just "spending money to avoid disaster", but the results were fatal. The run made the currency value unstable, and the price difference between silver dollar bills and cash became increasingly apparent. By early October, only 1,028 yuan of silver dollar bills could be exchanged for 1,000 yuan of silver dollars. In view of this, the Ministry of Finance has strengthened supervision of official bank accounts in the three northeastern provinces and requires daily reporting of exchange conditions.
"Misfortune never comes singly. At this critical moment, Zhang Zuolin learned of a major loss. His private money account Qing Shexiang went bankrupt. In order to give an explanation to the people of Fengtian, or perhaps to give an explanation to himself, Zhang Zuolin decided to investigate to the end.
He first found Yang Yuquan (named Zhanshan), the president of Industrial Bank and manager of Qingshexiang Money Account, and asked Yang Yuquan to explain clearly, why did a good bank become a banker just because it was said to be a bank account? But Yang Yuquan hesitated and refused to reveal the truth. Zhang Zuolin became even more angry and ordered Yang Yuquan to be imprisoned, and sent another person who was familiar with the accounts to check the accounts, which is now called an audit. As a result of the audit, it was found that Liu Mingqi, the vice president of Industrial Bank, and Yan Tingrui, the auditor of Industrial Bank, had embezzled funds from Qingshexiang's account and participated in the bank run. According to records, although Qing Shexiang became famous, Liu Mingqi did not suffer any personal losses, but made more than 100,000 yuan. Continuing to investigate, it was discovered that Yan Tingrui's circumstances were also very bad. Although he was an auditor of Industrial Bank, he invested 5,000 yuan in Ruichang Heng Bank.
Zhang Zuolin was deeply aware that the financial chaos would cause endless harm, so he sent a diplomatic adviser to Chonghan to meet with the Japanese Consul General in Fengtian Kentaro Ochiai (acting). Yu Chonghan said: "There are some people from your country in Fengtian who are too embarrassed by your powerful Japanese Empire. They don't do their job properly and go to Guanyinhao and Industrial Bank to exchange small foreign currency, and then turn it into silver bullion and sell it, and get a small amount of interest. This is This incident not only hurts the dignity of your country, but also makes the international powers laugh. His Excellency Zhang Zuolin wanted to directly make representations to your Consul General to ban this illegal Japanese. But he was afraid of hurting the dignity of your country, so he sent me to negotiate with you and come up with A method that does not harm your country’s dignity, takes into account the interests of your business people, and does not hinder China’s financial consolidation.”
At the same time, Zhang Zuolin ordered Yang Yuquan, president of the Fengtian General Chamber of Commerce, to work with various banks to negotiate with Japanese merchants.The meeting negotiated and finally reached the following terms: China, Communications, Guanyin Bank, Industrial Bank, Shubian Bank, Heilongjiang Guanyin Bank, etc., each week, a combined foreign currency of 240,000 yuan will be handed over to the bank. The group (later changed to the Association of Banks) will conduct the exchange on its behalf; the exchange time is from 1:00 to 3:00 pm every day; the exchange period is from now to two months.
It was also agreed that before exchange, the cash should be inspected by the Japan Business Council, and then a license should be issued by the Consul General of Japan before going to the bank group for exchange. However, this regulation did not play its due role, because at the request of the Japanese, another clause was added: "If the amount is less than 100 yuan, you can still go to various bank accounts to exchange it." This left a legacy for the Japanese Taking advantage of this opportunity, they took 99 yuan to various banks to exchange it. Hundreds of people came out at once, and sometimes more than 200,000 yuan was cashed out in one day. So we negotiated with the Japan Business Council and stipulated that the daily exchange should not exceed 60,000 yuan.
What is even more hateful is that some financial institutions have taken advantage of the national crisis to enrich themselves; of course, the most hateful thing is to collude with foreign countries and attack their own people. Some Chinese profiteers colluded with the Japanese and set off a wave of bank runs in Fengtian and Yingkou. On October 3, 2 million silver dollars were cashed out! The crowding trend is like a "super virus", spreading rapidly among the people and affecting all parts of the Northeast. According to the "Yinzhou Literary and Historical Data", more than 700,000 silver coins were redeemed every day at that time. This made Feng Xiaoyang lose his trust to the people and made the Fengtian authorities miserable.
Such a big operation would never be possible if there were no traitors, especially those in the banking industry. Although he was a layman in the financial industry, Zhang Zuolin ordered the "Fengqin Bureau" to investigate and study the tricks of the financial market. This was also the "Fengqin Bureau's" first involvement in the economic field.
At the same time, Zhang Hanqing was also ordered to be in danger and was urgently transferred to Fengtian by Zhang Zuolin, because he also had a share of "credit" for this.
The reason is that as soon as the news of the Xinmin land reform came out, all the large and medium-sized landowners who were accumulating land in the province panicked. Instead of waiting for ten years to obtain the so-called "amortized land gold" that is looming in the clouds, it is better to sell the land immediately and make some money. Yu Liang, all over Fengtian Province are selling land one after another. In the past, fertile land that could not be grabbed is now being sold at 90%, 80% or even 70% of the capital price, which has benefited some farmers with some conditions—— Anyway, the news from Xinmin is that as long as the land does not exceed 5 acres and only 10% tax is levied on the land, it is still a good deal.
“But after the land was sold one after another, the landowners who got cash in hand didn’t know what to do. Since Fengtian used small foreign bills, the landowners felt that Dayang was much safer, so a larger wave of bank runs began. This virtually adds another extremely disadvantageous factor.
The financial order in Fengtian has been disrupted. By October, the run on Fengtian Xiaoyang Bank became increasingly serious. In order to stabilize financial prices and consolidate his dominance, Zhang Zuolin repeatedly studied countermeasures with his capable officers Wang Yongjiang, Wang Shuhan, and Liu Shangqing, but there was always no solution.
Zhang Hanqing, who has come to an end in Xinmin, is back. Although he was tired of his career, he introduced the various difficulties and solutions encountered by the new people in the land reform with high spirits. He believed that the previous stage of the battle was over and now he was waiting for the next summer's grain harvest. After practice, his land reform theory has basically taken shape and is waiting to be rolled out across Fengtian Province as soon as the results of the new people come out. He is now preparing for the "Fengtian Provincial Land Reform Committee" and the main candidates for the color committee. Land reform gradually got on track under the pressure of both civil and military authorities. Zhang Hanqing was also able to be separated from daily affairs, and Guo Songling and others were put in charge.
His focus at this time has turned to how to properly guide the financial chaos in Fengtian caused by the huge changes in the land. He was as calm as water despite the troubles faced by many experts in Fengtian's political and financial circles. Isn’t it a financial crisis? Still a very low level one.
During middle school and college, Zhang Hanqing learned a lot about economic crises and financial crises. He also personally experienced the 1998 and 2008 financial crises, and was vividly aware of the handling methods of various governments at that time. Although he is not a professional in the financial industry, he still understands the basic principles. The establishment of currency is inherently a kind of confidence.
A run is actually a distrust of the currency you hold. As long as the currency is strong, people's hearts will naturally be calm. The top priority is to find a way to keep Fengtian's small foreign currency notes strong, but also to dissuade those with ulterior motives, or at least not to add fuel to the flames, that is, to eliminate the price difference that exists in the currency itself.
Currency is just a symbol, and its value lies in the physical objects such as gold and silver hidden behind it. If Feng Xiaoyang cannot freely cash out cash, just like RMB cannot be freely cashed into gold in later generations, who would be so free as to go to the bank to withdraw cash? In theory, a run is equivalent to using a bankbook to withdraw cash. Failure to withdraw money will cause a trend. This is purely a matter of confidence.
Of course, the premise is that the political situation is stable and the economy is operating normally. Is this action completely unnecessary at this time?
Therefore, the solution to this crisis is actually very simple: try to make Feng Xiaoyang unable to be redeemed; after Feng Xiaoyang withdraws from market circulation, replace its role with a new currency with credibility and continue to use it. This currency clearly states that it cannot be redeemed; Efforts were made to ensure confidence in this new currency.
Only these three points are enough. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??; After Feng Xiaoyang withdraws from market circulation, it must be replaced by a new currency with credibility and continued to be used. This currency is clearly stated to be non-redeemable; efforts must be made to ensure the confidence of this new currency.
Only these three points are enough. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 215 The first practice of centralization

Zhang Hanqing’s confidence somewhat infected the anxious Zhang Zuolin. He still admired Zhang Hanqing’s ability to solve problems. This little Liu Zi, I don’t know when, he has gathered many capable people around him, which he could not have imagined before. He also has a lot of clever ideas, which are often unexpected. I wonder what he can do about the financial market that makes him dizzy? He was full of expectations, although Zhang Zuolin didn't quite believe that Zhang Hanqing had this ability - after all, it was another industry, and it was not his power that could be easily reversed.
Zhang Hanqing really has a way, and that’s why he came here. Poor financial order will greatly affect the results of land reform and make Dad's road to dominance become long and tortuous.
When Zhang Hanqing slowly explained the reasons for the current financial chaos, Zhang Zuolin and a group of financial officials gradually calmed down with Zhang Hanqing's words. After he proposed the three policies, everyone was thinking about it. The elite meeting, which originally had its own opinions, unexpectedly fell silent.
Of course, there are many people who shake their heads: these three items are good or bad, but they haven’t said it yet. This is where things get difficult!
"If those businessmen could really dishonor their promises to Feng Xiaoyang, there would be nothing like what happened today. If Han Qing said it, it means he didn't say it!"
“Exchanging new money is just changing the soup but not the medicine. If this can quell the run, the people will be fooled!”
"Without real money, who will use your new money to wipe your butt?"
It was a mess down there, and some people who had never been cold to the young commander took the opportunity to attack, and the order on the scene was in chaos.
Zhang Hanqing smiled slightly, there is no way, there are rivers and lakes wherever there are people. My own strength is not yet strong enough to suppress these veterans, so it would be the most unwise and boring thing to retaliate. The best way to employ people is to use your skills to convince them. Otherwise, just based on this status, if you want others to respect you like a god, it is unreasonable. You are a ghost, not a human being.
He said to Zhang Zuolin: "Commander, matters in the professional field should be handled by professionals. The uncles under Marshal are experienced in war, but they are still relatively unfamiliar with financial matters. Xueliang suggested that we set up a financial The committee convenes experts from the economic, financial and financial circles to focus on solving this crisis and reduce the useless talk of others."
In public, he addressed his father by his official position, indicating that this was a business matter rather than a personal matter. This view was raised because most of the attendees were military and political officials from Fengtian, especially the backbone of the 27th Division. After the military and police are separated, it is also necessary to separate the military and political affairs. Firstly, it will reduce the political say of the officers, and secondly, there will indeed be too many idle people waiting.
Lao Zhang still agrees with some of his son's methods, such as the implementation of the committee system. In this way, the relevant professionals can be restricted and put to their best use instead of artificially creating noise; the second is that the committee will not affect the original responsibilities of each government administrative agency. Usually, the relevant departments only assign people to put up a sign. However, some functional departments can be sidelined when necessary. Zhang Hanqing's "Land Reform Committee" covers several departments of agriculture, water conservancy, justice, and civil affairs, but only Zhang Hanqing's team is in power. Third, he designates the qualifications of the participants. It can maximize the centralization of power; fourthly, with fewer people involved, the possibility of keeping secrets is greater. Lao Zhang, who knows how to employ people, strongly agrees with his son's creativity.
After weighing the matter, Zhang Zuolin decisively retained a group of "relevant" personnel: Wang Yongjiang, who is the director of the police department and the person in charge of the violence agency; Wang Ruizhi, who is the judge of the Fengtian Higher Trial Hall (equivalent to the judge of the presiding court) ; Wang Shuhan, Director of the Department of Finance; Liu Shangqing, General Office of the Official Bank of the Three Eastern Provinces; Yang Yuting, General Counselor of the Warlord's Office (equivalent to the Secretary-General), as well as Zhang Hanqing and himself. These seven people formed the Fengtian Financial and Economic Committee. At the suggestion of Zhang Hanqing, Liu Shangqing, a leading figure in the financial industry, served as chairman.
It was the first time in Zhang Zuolin’s political career that he sat as a companion at a meeting he attended. This was the first time in his political career and he found it very strange. Being able to listen to the instructions of professionals on some very important events, he felt that he had understood the essence of "governing by doing nothing". Under Zhang Hanqing's advice, he was able to delegate power in many subsequent matters, thus achieving greater success. He devotes more energy to the fields he is best at, such as politics and military affairs.
This committee is also the first practice of centralization in Chinese history. The reason why the "Land Reform Committee" chaired by Zhang Hanqing cannot be counted is because Zhang Hanqing is the chairman, and Zhang Hanqing has the final say in all matters.
The Finance and Economics Committee is different. According to Zhang Hanqing’s idea, everyone can express their opinions on an important issue. If it is really controversial, they can vote, and the person with more than half of the votes wins. He has reached an agreement with Zhang Zuolin privately: on specific administrative matters, Zhang Zuolin only needs one ordinary vote. Unless there are major issues, Zhang Zuolin will have no votes.Have the power of veto doubtfully. This approach is still under consideration.
Of course, the heads of relevant departments in various economic fields also attended the meeting. Because it was announced immediately, all "irrelevant" personnel did not ask to leave, but just sat in the audience to "observe." Of course, there were also people who spoke later. The power of these "committees" was partially deprived, but most of the appointed members did not realize it. As committees sprung up one after another in the future, its power was gradually recognized by everyone. Now, it's just enlightenment and experimentation.
Liu Shangqing, who had been declining for a long time before taking the "top spot", was obviously not used to being treated better than Marshal Zhang. He sat on the stool as if on pins and needles and looked at Zhang Zuolin out of habit: "Commander, let's start a discussion?"
Zhang Zuolin also habitually patted the table: "Okay."
Zhang Hanqing stared at this scene with his mouth open: "Is it possible that the centralized system of Panzi in later generations is not adapted to the local environment in Fengtian? Obviously Panzi is just a cover, and centralization is the truth!" He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "The path of Panzi is in China. There is a long way to go.”
The participants first affirmed the summary of the key points proposed by Zhang Hanqing, and Zhang Hanqing continued his speech:
"It is not that there is no market for small foreign notes in Fengtian, and we are not issuing excessive banknotes. The reason why this situation occurs is that someone is making a mistake. As long as the current crisis is resolved, there is no problem in issuing new currency to replace small foreign notes.
It is easy to ensure confidence in the new currency. As long as we ensure that the value of the new banknotes remains unchanged, there is no need to exchange them for cash. This method is to ensure that banknotes are not issued indiscriminately, and the currency issuance must be strictly linked to the reserve. Otherwise, no matter how much you boast, the people will still not buy it. To this end, a financial department should be established to be responsible for the issuance and issuance of bank currency, and to regularly understand the operating conditions of the banking industry to avoid similar incidents from recurring. "
Wang Yongjiang and Liu Shangqing strongly agree with this, and Finance Minister Wang Shuhan is also extremely pleased: If this can be achieved, he will have less time to worry about raising extra-budgetary funds and risking excessive currency issuance. This kind of thing has happened before. More would have happened in China in the history of the Republic of China, if Zhang Hanqing had not traveled through time.

Chapter 216 Extraordinary Means
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
As for how to solve the wave of bank runs, this is a difficult problem. There are several masters in the financial industry under Zhang Zuolin, such as Liu Shangqing, but they are unable to do anything about it. The others were either from Zhang Zuolin's gangster background and could not read a few Chinese characters; or they were well-educated and wealthy, but had low vision and low skill, and kept a distance from finance and other matters, which were despised by the noble. Seeing that there are so many people in the room, it’s time to take charge.
Liu Shangqing thought that in the past, money merchants used many excuses to allocate remittances when asking for redemption. Now, if they use the method of issuing a money order to remit the money to the money reserve merchant to purchase goods, they will not be able to claim for redemption in Fengtian. The big bosses were arty and said in unison: "Not bad!"
Although most people don’t understand what it means, it’s always good to think about it from the experts of First Finance.
However, Zhang Hanqing poured cold water on everyone: "Although this method is good, it is only used by specific people. It cannot be widely circulated. It has a very narrow purpose and has little effect on solving the bank run trend." Finance Minister Wang Shuhan also shook his head and said: "Slowing it down is not enough. urgent."
The young marshal questioned the professionalism of General Manager Liu, and some people in the top military and political circles in Fengtian were dissatisfied: "You, marshal, are both civil and military masters, and you can build a good team in the military, but you don't rely on your father's strength? What about land reform?" I don’t know what the outcome will be, but now I have become a new figure in the political world. All the yamen in Fengtian are polite to you, the people of the "Fengtian Land Reform Committee". You have the face of the governor and the governor, so forget it. Now this is even the "iron abacus" What do you, a child, know about big things that even Liu Shangqing can't understand? Those businessmen won't give you face, young commander!"
However, Liu Shangqing lowered his head and thought for a while, then said with a blushing face: "Young Marshal is right, this cannot cure the root cause." He suddenly raised his head and faced Zhang Hanqing: "I wonder if Young Marshal has a way to solve this problem?" This Young Marshal often said Surprisingly, things in the financial world are difficult to say, but there is no guarantee that the young commander will not have a solution. Others may have secret criticisms about the Young Marshal's work, but I often have long conversations with the Young Marshal all night long, and I deeply admire the Young Marshal's abilities.
Zhang Hanqing smiled slightly and said: "It's not difficult to say. I have two ways to solve this problem in one fell swoop!"
Everyone was shocked. They couldn't think of a single solution, but the young marshal had two as soon as he made a move. There is no way, I won't be struck by lightning if I don't pretend. To have an extraordinary influence in Fengtian, extraordinary means should be used in extraordinary times.
Although Zhang Hanqing is frighteningly young, he always does what he says. He occasionally makes shocking statements, but they are quickly proven to be true. This gives him excellent credibility. Regardless of whether you are satisfied with him or not, you can still take his words seriously. Especially since the assassination incident, Lao Zhang has obviously cultivated Xiao Zhang as his successor. He does not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. Xiao Zhang's influence has increased. is reasonable.
The young marshal's influence in the military world is very great. He almost came from behind and became a figure second only to Zhang Zuolin and Sun Liechen. As far as the senior Yang Yuting is concerned, he has to take a step back. It's just that Xiao Zhang's status in the political world is not yet obvious. If the run crisis can be properly resolved, his presence in the political world will definitely be eliminated. This is one of the reasons why Zhang Hanqing spared no effort to solve the problem.
Of course, paving the way for dad is another reason.
It’s like encountering a compass when you’re lost, or a pillow when you’re falling asleep. Liu Shangqing has been immersed in the financial world for many years. This is the first time he encountered this kind of problem without a solution. His obsessed heart has been itching. No matter who it is, as long as it can solve the puzzle, it is the great joy of life for him. This young marshal really has extraordinary abilities. Not only did he come up with two methods, he also came up with two methods, which inevitably gave people a mixture of surprises.
Zhang Hanqing did not hide it. He said: "After Xueliang thought hard, he suddenly thought of the Shanxi bill of exchange. The holders often exchanged it with each other on a credit relationship. Isn't this similar to banknotes? Can we Issuing such a bill of exchange? As long as it is not cashed on the spot, won't the run on it gradually subside? Anyway, what we want is time."
Mo Dehui retorted: "When remittances are sent to other places, it is all about big oceans. It is not suitable for the habit of using small oceans in Fengtian." When it comes to discussing matters, Zhang Hanqing is not in the habit of speaking out on his own. Whether it is Mo Dehui who is close to him or others in Fengtian, they all know that the young marshal's habit is to talk about something in meetings and talk about nothing after the meeting. Even if the argument turns red, it will not affect his perception of the other party, and may actually bring him closer. Zhang Zuolin was also influenced by him. In Zhang Hanqing's private chats, he wanted to be a good boss who "accepts advice".
Wang Ruizhi, the judge of the High Court of Justice, also suggested: "The word on the ticket is not as good as the word on the coupon." As for the issue of Dayang and Xiaoyang, Wang did not express any opinions, because based on his life experience, he did not have any good ideas in the financial industry.
Liu Zhongsan, the manager of the Zuoxin Printing Bureau, a subsidiary of the official bank of the three eastern provinces, his eyes lit up, and he interjected from the sidelines: "One dollar in the ocean is worth seven cents and two cents. If it is twelve cents in the small ocean, can it be worth it?"
Zhang Hanqing clapped his hands and said: "Brother Zhong SanWhat I said was exactly what I wanted. "
Liu Shangqing suddenly realized. He added: "We can use Xiaoyang as the basis and stipulate that twelve cents will be used as one Yuan dollar, which is called 'One or Two Ocean Exchange Notes'. The specific method is to store cash in Shanghai as a remittance and issue new notes. , each dollar is equivalent to seven cents and two cents of cash silver. Merchants are allowed to purchase goods in Shanghai and transfer cash locally, but they are not allowed to redeem them in Fengtian. Small foreign bills of the official bank are not allowed to be used in Fengtian market, so this kind of exchange coupons , which has replaced small foreign bills and is commonly used in the three northeastern provinces. As for the small foreign bills issued by Fengtian Industrial Bank and others, they are renamed bonds, with interest paid twice a year, and are still circulating in the market, neither exchanged nor cashed. Han Qing, But what’s your intention?”
Zhang Hanqing echoed: "Xue Liang hasn't thought of so much. My nephew is just fanciful and doesn't want a blind cat to encounter a dead mouse. This is all Liu Shibo's idea. Does it work? Shi Bo has eaten more salt than Xueliang." I have eaten a lot of rice, so I will naturally make big decisions." He laughed and said, "If it doesn't work, don't blame Xueliang for being too talkative, Shibo. Anyway, it was you who came up with the idea, and you can't blame me."
The small foreign coupons that the landlords exchanged for their flesh suddenly turned into government bonds. In essence, it was equivalent to the government taking away their principal for use. What they could get was only twice a year. Interest". Since the bonds cannot be redeemed, no matter how they change, the government will not need to consider this principal for a while, which naturally makes it much easier. These landlords worked hard to take advantage of the government's loopholes, and the bonds they exchanged for the property prices were no different from "renting" the land to the government. They also lost a lot of transaction fees, and invisibly gave the people They saved a fortune.
Seeing that he was so righteous, Liu Shangqing also laughed and said: "What the Young Marshal said will definitely work." The Young Marshal is not arrogant about taking credit and has always been approachable. This is one of the important reasons why he and Zhang Hanqing have become friends since many years.
The plan for the "One or Two Ocean Exchange Notes" was approved at the end of 1916. It played a significant role in quelling the trend of bank runs and alleviating the financial crisis. Since Zhang Zuolin came to power in Fengtian, he has taken many measures to maintain the stability of Fengtian, Zhong and Jiaotong, and has not allowed any slack, and prices have basically remained stable. Among them, Liu Shangqing spent a lot of effort and effort. Therefore, he won Zhang Zuolin's trust and paved the way for his official career.
Having solved a major problem, Liu Shangqing felt much better. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief and joke about Zhang Hanqing: "The young marshal just said that a two-pronged approach will work. One tube has already worked. I wonder where the other tube will go?"
Zhang Hanqing restrained his smile and said calmly: "The bank run trend may be solved today, but if some people are still stubborn, they will make trouble again if they have the opportunity. This trend must be solved from the root. The government encourages normal business and finance However, for those black sheep who are speculative and even rely on foreign forces to interfere with Fengtian's economy, we should use extraordinary measures to deal with them, cut off the mess quickly, and directly shock the followers from the source!"
The people he was talking about who used foreign forces were Liu Mingqi, deputy manager of Industrial Bank, Huang Xianting, deacon of "Ruihuanchang" gold store, and five other people. They colluded with the Japanese to carry out bank runs in order to bring down Fengtian Financial and allow the Japanese to take advantage of the situation. , this is a fact known to everyone in Fengtian.
Liu Mingqi, deputy manager of Industrial Bank, started out as a comprador and speaks fluent Japanese. He has some economic acumen. During the many runs in Fengtian, he took the opportunity to lower the exchange rate of small foreign notes for large oceans and earned a huge price difference. Anyway, he is in a bank and has unique conditions.
The Japanese also came to him and gave him a lot of benefits, asking him to use the silver coins stored by the Japanese to continue to trouble Fengtian: In a series of contests, not only did they fail to do anything to Zhang Zuolin, but they also made him more and more energetic. According to this process, it is only a matter of time before Zhang Zuolin becomes the king of Northeast China. The key is that neither Lao Zhang nor Xiao Zhang seem to be very interested in the Japanese. This is one of the reasons why Japan wants to work hard to reduce the power of the Zhang family. Without money, all Zhang Zuolin's dreams would not come true.
Hatred for the Japanese is hidden in the hearts of many Fengtian military and political leaders, especially Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing. They were repeatedly restrained by the Japanese but could not retaliate. Now that there was this good opportunity, Zhang Hanqing naturally proposed it without hesitation.
Liu Shangqing strongly agreed. He understood the meaning of the young marshal's "extraordinary means". He firmly believes that as long as these instigators are shot, at least Fengtian will no longer have an outright leader, and the impact on those who follow the trend will be huge. If the "One or Two Ocean Exchange Notes" are put into practice, Fengtian's financial crisis will definitely be eliminated. This is probably the meaning of the "two-pronged approach" that the young commander believes, right?
He felt indescribably happy in his heart and asked Wang Ruizhi: "How is it?" Wang Ruizhi is a famous judge after all. It would be great if the matter of suppressing illegal money dealers can be solved legally.
Wang Ruizhi said: "This matter should be handled by the court."
After hearing this, Liu Shangqing said disapprovingly: "The judges stick to the rules and the procedures are cumbersome, which may lead to leniency. Even if they are sentenced to death, it is better to set an example to the city and the court, and it is better to use extraordinary measures to suppress the trend of bank runs."
Zhang Zuolin was very satisfied. Solving the run problem is the most important thing. As for shooting a few Japanese lackeys, that is the best thing. The Japanese are still lingering. First they mobilized troops, and now they are pinching their pockets. This is intolerable. He slapped the table: "These people will be arrested immediately and executed tomorrow in Daxi, as a warning to others!"

Jiang Shan Bu Luo is a very prudent person and has an instinctive fear of things that are new and out of the ordinary. Others have to give a testimonial before putting it on the shelves, and I don’t dare to be exempt from this custom.
Works are like the children of a writer (here, let’s consider myself a writer if I am still alive). Each of them is close to my heart, and the first-born child especially needs to be taken seriously. Although my work has gone through several major revisions and gradually learned to cater to the needs of the Internet, there are still some problems with my writing skills and the problems of young writers, which need to be gradually improved in the future.
It is difficult to write novels in the Republic of China, and the state has more restrictions on modern history and events. But since it has begun, I can only continue writing. Next time, I will not dare to write about the Republic of China. Writing is to be seen by more readers, not to entertain oneself.
“ After ten years of sharpening my sword, I wrote a draft of nearly one million words, and made an outline of an estimated three million words, just to complete the novel smoothly. During this period, my hair turned gray, I spent countless sleepless nights, and I also lost many brain cells that had been with me for many years. I am so verbose just to tell readers and friends one thing: writing is very hard, there is hard work even if there is no credit, and there is fatigue even if there is no hard work.
So, you know.
It has been updated to 600,000 words, but it has not been signed and has not been put on the shelves This book is a torment for Jiangshan Buluo, not because of the few editing fees, but because of the recognized value.
Fortunately, on September 21, 2020, Monday night, when I turned on my computer to prepare for coding as usual, I saw the listing notice. I am so happy that this day is destined to be remembered.
We look forward to continued recognition from our readers. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 217 Never happen again

At that time, there were still "strength orders", at least Wang Ruizhi was one of them. To him, it is true that the Japanese are hateful and the Japanese lackeys should be killed, but everything should be carried out under the conditions of clear and canon punishment. He cannot accept such actions in private. He still values ??the rule of law: "If you do this without trial, where does the law stand?"
Zhang Zuolin still respects him very much. When you meet such a person, you can't say he is wrong. But from a political point of view, Zhang Zuolin has to act vigorously and resolutely; but from a governance point of view, he has to be good at compromise: "In auspicious times, extraordinary things should be done, and you should no longer stick to the means. I promise you, It won’t happen again!”
"Our Lao Zhang rarely makes this kind of guarantee to others. He has never interfered in specific administrative matters. This is one of the reasons why Fengtian's senior officials obey this big boss. But at this time, many people at the meeting were in favor of immediate execution. Wang Rui was outnumbered, and he lost according to the voting principle. What's more, now is the time when the old and young marshals are "dictatorship"? He had no choice but to say: "I reserve my opinion."
Even so, Zhang Hanqing was impressed by his spirit of defending the law. This is a person who values ??law more than emotion and rights, and will be the backbone of building a legal China in the future. It is also our responsibility to maintain and preserve the vitality of this legal element for the country and to make people's hearts turn towards the law. Therefore, he said apologetically: "Judge Huang, this matter is indeed against the law. I understand your feelings about building a legal country and a legal society. But law is a continuation of politics. The other side now has the support of the Japanese. If we act Delay. Once the matter is delayed and the Japanese intervene, how will we deal with it? China has not yet achieved complete administrative independence. At least the Fengtian Provincial Government cannot withstand the pressure. When the time comes, the High Court will detain If he is released? If he is not released, causing a bigger disturbance will not be beneficial to the current situation; if he is released, how will the current run crisis be solved? Will this financial crisis become more and more severe? If we continue to kill people by then, I am afraid The Japanese have to question whether we are going against them. Now that we are too weak, it is better to be able to solve the problem quickly and avoid more monsters. The reason why we propose to cut the mess with a quick knife is actually because we do not want to see China The spirit of legal independence was interrupted under the pressure of the Japanese."
The young marshal pointed out the problem in such a profound and simple way, which gave Wang Ruizhi enough face and dignity. No matter how principled Wang Ruizhi is, he also knows that now is not the time to stick to principles. The fact that the old and young marshals could talk to him on an equal footing showed enough respect, which made him feel that it was possible to build the legal country he wanted when the country was strong and free from external humiliation. In particular, the young marshal proposed the rule of law and the rule of law for the first time. This was an unprecedented vision that made his eyes light up. He said sincerely: "I understand the young marshal's thoughts. I have always only pursued the principle of legality, but ignored the situation that China is in. I only hope that in the future, under the leadership of the young marshal, China can become a legal system In this country, the administration will not interfere with the law."
Zhang Hanqing said firmly: "Of course, I also believe that this day will come. This is also the ideal country that I have been striving for. But now, sir, please join me and first fight for China's administrative independence."
Wang Ruizhi said: "May I ask, Marshal, what do you think China's administrative independence means?"
Zhang Hanqing replied: "When all the great powers withdraw from China, whether voluntarily or by force; when the main body of China is unified under a completely centralized central government, that is when China begins to build its legal system. Now, no matter how well we do it, Foreigners will not listen. At least for this run, we have nothing to do with the Japanese, and without the Japanese waving the flag and shouting in the middle, the financial crisis will not affect the entire province."
Wang Ruizhi nodded and said: "It is a blessing for China that the young marshal thinks so. In this case, I agree with this special treatment, but I hope that the marshal and the young marshal can properly consider the role of law in governing the country in the future and reduce exceptions."
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "Of course, it won't happen again." Because of this, Wang Ruizhi's name was deeply imprinted in Zhang Hanqing's heart, and he later became a sworn friend.
That night, the provincial gendarmerie and the police department dispatched together to arrest everyone on the list. The former well-dressed proud man in the financial world suddenly became a prisoner. The Fengtian High Court was abuzz with people, and countless people spent sleepless nights.
The first offender, Liu Mingqi, the deputy manager of Industrial Bank, colluded with the Japanese to cause trouble, and was also the culprit that caused the collapse of Zhang Zuolin's private treasury. The death penalty is necessary; the deacon of Ruichang Hengjin Store Huang Xianting and the deacon of Ruichang Hengqianzhuang Lu Xingrui were charged with colluding with the Japanese, and Huang Xianting is the mastermind of a series of crimes committed by the Huang family, and killing him is not enough to satisfy the hatred; Qi Rui, the deacon of Penglai Foreign Trade Company, and Xie Zhongdao, the manager of the Treasury, are charged with trafficking in foreign goods, and they cannot be spared.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? YangBut Quan Quan and Yan Tingrui escaped. Ordinarily, Yang Yuquan, as the president of Industrial Bank and the manager of Qingshexiang Money Account, was inevitably involved in the bank runs and the collapse of Qingshexiang Money Account. However, because Yang Yuquan had a "good criminal attitude" and took the initiative to try to compensate Zhang Zuolin for his losses, Zhang Zuolin exempted him from prison sentence and was only ordered to compensate Qing Shexiang's losses of more than 300,000 yuan. As a result, Yang Yuquan was not compensated in full and his property was searched, but the proceeds were less than half. Because Yang Yuquan was the president of the Chamber of Commerce, several business directors helped to collect some. The specific amount is unknown. Anyway, Zhang Zuolin agreed to release Yang Yuquan.
As for Yan Tingrui, he was only sentenced to 9 years in prison. Industrial Bank tellers Wang Dianchen, Liu Yazhou, Liu Fuchen, Sun Jinren, and Wang Yueting were also detained at the police station for several days. Later, after interrogation by Director Wang Yongjiang, it was found that they had no active relationship with the "cash-in matter." Quarantine acquittal."
The handling of this case did not convince the public, at least Liu Mingqi shouted that he was wronged. In fact, some newspapers criticized Zhang Zuolin's approach at the time, saying that it was "handling two cases in one case and being lawless." But for Zhang Zuolin, it was enough since he could quell the riot and make up for his losses. So what if we kill a few more people? Profit is the most important thing.
As the commander-in-chief of the aftermath, Zhang Hanqing undoubtedly gained the greatest benefit: he was ordered to lead his guards to take over several important economic centers such as Ruichang Hengjin Store, Ruichang Hengqianzhuang, Penglai Foreign Bank, etc., and controlled all venues. Bills, cash, and various valuable items were sealed, and the homes of several leading criminals were ransacked. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 218 Disaster
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Fengtian propaganda agencies are working at full capacity, trying their best to exaggerate the government's repressive attitude towards lawless elements. In the face of the powerful state machine, any luck or resistance is rubbish, and the run on the country will be over in an instant. The young marshal's important role in this was also admired by people in Fengtian's financial circles, so that they later gave him strong trust and support for his in-depth land reform and other subsequent economic achievements, so that Fengtian even reached Northeast China. The weak voice of opposition was something Zhang Hanqing had not expected.
A group of military police rushed into Huang Xianting's home and kidnapped Huang Xianting without any explanation. The entire operation was carried out without any warning in advance. Huang Xianting didn't react at all. He struggled and shouted: "Who are you? I want to find your director! Let Wang Minyuan come to see me!" Wang Minyuan is the nickname of Wang Yongjiang, he is the head of the Fengtian police, Huang Xianting We still have some friendship with him, but he still doesn't understand that the incident has been revealed.
"Those people didn't bother him at all. They tied him up tightly and dragged him away. The last words left to his family were, "Find Wang Yongjiang quickly."
Who is Wang Yongjiang? It was so famous that even Huang Ruqing, no matter how ignorant he was, had heard of it. Since her father had something to say, she quickly made arrangements to go to the Wang family. However, when I walked to the gate, I saw many soldiers guarding the gate. An officer in the lead said loudly: "According to the order of the commander-in-chief, Huang Xianting interfered with the financial order of Fengtian and caused trouble in Fengtian by colluding with foreign countries. He was guilty of a heinous crime that should be punished with death. During the public trial, no one in the Huang family was allowed to do anything." People coming in and out!”
Huang Ruqing was stunned. To say it was a bolt from the blue would be an exaggeration. Her husband was supposed to be her heaven, but that dude couldn't support her. When she returned to her parents' home, she still counted on her father to support her with a new sky, but now this sky is about to fall to pieces. The only hope now is to find Wang Yongjiang and see if he can make a final rescue. What should we do if these soldiers won't give up? She looked at the officer eagerly: "Master, I'm going to see Director Wang. I wonder if you can be accommodating?" At her signal, the servant took out a dozen Guangyang and handed it to her, under the light. Emit a dazzling light.
"As the saying goes, money can help the gods, so no matter how difficult it is to give some benefits, it is not difficult. This is a common problem among the Fengtian officers and soldiers she has seen. The officer in front of me is probably just a junior officer. Judging from his shoulder insignia, he probably doesn't have a high salary. This money is probably enough for his annual salary.
The officer calmly stopped her bribery. What a joke, the young marshal’s military discipline is not just strict? He regarded this bribe as a great insult to him, and many political workers trained by the teaching regiment washed strict discipline into the minds of every soldier. The Soldiers' Committee already has strict regulations and systems in place to prevent officer corruption. In addition to holding a weekly "life meeting", every soldier can speak out about the officers' mistakes at the meeting without worrying about being settled later or being criticized. After the meeting, he directly reported to the superior.
The reputation of the military and the strict system made him categorically refuse to accept bribes openly. He dared to bet that one moment he accepted the money, and the next he would take off his cherished military uniform and become a farmer again. He resolutely blocked the way and said solemnly: "We are the Guards Brigade, the Young Marshal's army!" Perhaps it was Huang Ruqing's kindness that gave him the rare iron-bone and soft-heartedness, so he said softly: "Director Wang He is just the head of the police, the army is not under his control."
Huang Ruqing made matters worse this time. After his third uncle, Huang Fengting, had his home raided and imprisoned, and his husband Dai Xianzhi was shot to death, now his father has also been arrested, and it is said that he has been listed as the first offender. The commander-in-chief also wants to cut through the mess with a sharp knife, saying that "extraordinary things should be done in extraordinary times." What should he do? The third master just followed Feng Dashuai and his house was ransacked. He didn't know when he would be able to escape from prison. His father and colluded with the Japanese caused such a big disaster. With Zhang Dashuai's style, he would have to shed his skin even if he didn't die!
what to do? what to do? Huang Ruqing was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot. The only one who was able to talk to Zhang Zuolin, Mrs. Dai, had been in a daze since her brother's death. Now she has become a monk. No matter how hard her family members try to persuade her, she has no hope. She is not familiar with her father, who usually associates with her, and her father has committed such a big thing, and it is too late for others to hide. Who would want to have a relationship with her?
Under the cover of the nest, are there any eggs? After all, he grew up in a big family. Huang Ruqing quickly understood the situation: now that the Huang family has been taken over by the military, it means that it is the young marshal who controls the situation, not Wang Yongjiang, otherwise the police will take over the Huang family. With the power of the young marshal, even if his father is in Wang Yongjiang's hands, as long as he speaks, Wang Yongjiang will only obey. She walked to the gate for the second time and said to the officer just now: "Excuse me, military master, how can I meet the young marshal? Please introduce me."
The officer waved his hand and said: "The young marshal will divide his troops into different routes tonight. Madam wants to see the young marshal, but I'm afraid it depends on the opportunity."
Huang Ruqing asked tentatively: "Can you ask the military master to arrange for someone to go with me to find the young marshal?"
The officer shook his head and said: "Young Marshal has an order, and we will only act according to the order. No one is allowed to enter or leave Huang's house tonight!"
After seeing the officer's loyalty, Huang Ruqing was completely discouraged. While comforting her mother who was in panic and crying, she thought about the way out. Thinking deeply, she calmed down. She said cruelly to the officer: "In that case, please arrange for the young marshal to come over. The young lady and the young marshal have an old relationship, and this matter may turn around."
The officer did not know the relationship between the woman and his immediate boss, but seeing that the woman was very beautiful and young, and the young marshal was known as a romantic, and she admitted that she had an old relationship with the young marshal, he was afraid that there would be something between the two. The relationship is unknown - how can a beautiful girl put a shit basin on her head? It doesn't hurt to send his men to report. Anyway, everything is decided by the young commander.
Huang Ruqing had no choice but to take this step. It would definitely risk damaging her reputation, but otherwise there would be no chance of a turnaround. Once you are determined, you will feel relaxed. Seeing that his mother was in grief and tired of crying, he persuaded her to go back to her room to rest.
She arranged for the maid to fetch water, freshened up in the room, then changed into a set of very beautiful clothes and returned to the living room, poured a cup of tea, and waited quietly. At a time when the Huang family was uneasy, she could be so calm, which surprised the maids.
It’s getting dark and getting cold. Facing the bright candle, Huang Ruqing was also beating in her heart: "Will the young marshal come? If he doesn't come, I can't get out, what should I do?" At one moment, she was grieving the death of her husband, and at the other moment, she was anxious about her father. Gradually, his eyelids began to fight, and the light gradually dimmed.
At some point, I suddenly heard the sound of leather boots standing at attention outside the door, and a loud voice said: "Reporting to the young marshal, Hu Pingwa, commander of the second platoon of the third company of the guard battalion, is on duty here. Please give your instructions!" ( Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 219 Sacrifice

This sound woke Huang Ruqing from his drowsiness. Is the young commander here?
Then I heard Zhang Hanqing's very kind voice: "You have worked hard, please rest." He always cares and cares about the officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade, and he never puts on the airs of a young marshal. This is a young man in Fengtian City. This scene is the origin of Zhang Hanqing's new-school reputation. But in normal training, he requires officers and soldiers to perform strict movements without ambiguity. This trick of combining kindness and power was learned from many years of factory management, and it is very effective.
Huang Ruqing immediately straightened her wrinkled clothes, and Shi Shiran walked to the door of the hall, where he happened to meet the young and heroic Zhang Hanqing, who was even more energetic in his military uniform. She bent down and made a big salute: "Young Marshal."
Zhang Hanqing was very impressed by Huang Ruqing. She was Huang Wanqing's cousin. Not long ago, she had begged him for her husband Dai Xianzhi's favor. At that time, the sudden incident was just a glimpse, and the beauty was enough to make people's hearts move. Now when I look at the beauty under the lamp, she looks even more graceful and graceful.
When he came here, it was not entirely because he received Huang Ruqing's "seeking" request. They have already completed the "tasks" of other companies, and now it is the Huang family's turn.
He was really speechless about the successive changes in the Huang family: Huang Sanye (Feng Ting) was arrested because he was ignorant of current affairs, but that was fine; Dai Xianzhi's death was entirely his own fault, especially when the quarrel escalated into politics; Huang Er Ye (Xian Ting) committed a heinous crime. On the one hand, he disrupted the financial market. The main thing was to cheat on others and collude with the Japanese.
For Huang Wanqing's "face", Huang Fengting can let go. After all, the matter is not big, and he has been punished quite a lot. Now about Huang Xianting's matter, no matter how Huang Ruqing pleads for mercy, he cannot let go. This is a matter of national justice. Even if Huang Wanqing comes, she can't use the trick of sacrificing herself again. She still has to have principles in life.
You should be cruel to the Japanese. Think about the past life and the next life or the next life (he can't tell, anyway, they are all later, and they have happened before. The difference is that he has not seen it in this life) Japan committed crimes against China. No matter what sin he committed, he would not forgive any Chinese for having a favorable impression of Japan. Remembering that due to the Diaoyu Islands incident, many inappropriate behaviors occurred in mainland China where Japanese cars were smashed. While he condemned such irrational atrocities, he also felt that unprincipled purchases of Japanese goods really made conscientious Chinese people angry.
Now that he has a chance to deal with this kind of thing, he will definitely kill him. Without killing these scum of the nation and traitors and lackeys, the people will not be angry, and without killing them will not be enough to shock the masses.
He nodded in return and strode into the hall, observing the layout inside to judge the Huang family's wealth. Needless to say, he ransacked the house. He raised his head and looked at Huang Ruqing who was following him: "It's you, want to invite me over?"
The previous companies found out that he was soft-handed and gained a lot of profits. These inner ghosts racked their brains and did not hesitate to use outsiders to poach Fengtian, but with one backhand, he knocked them into dust and used everything they had eaten to make their own wedding clothes.
Of course, some apparent properties still have to be handed over to the public. Several banks were severely damaged by bank runs and urgently need compensation from these stolen goods. But because of the relationship between government and businessmen, Xiao Zhang has not yet had the consciousness to return everything to his warehouse: his own guard brigade is still waiting for food, his father's small treasury still needs to compensate for the losses, and the extra money and materials are still useful, only a fool would do this Hand it all over, which is why Zhang Zuolin asked himself to be the "clearance ambassador".
The Huang family is the last target.
But Huang Ruqing's tearful expression made him feel a little pity again, and he couldn't bear to see the beautiful young woman shed tears, which aroused his protective desire. Woman, your name is weak. He decided to leave some property to this woman. After all, she had to live, especially in this world, where various security systems were imperfect, and the ending of a beautiful but incompetent woman would be even more miserable.
He felt a little guilty about what happened next, and it was written on his face. For Huang Ruqing, who was at the end of her rope, Zhang Hanqing's tolerance and kindness were her life-saving straw. She suddenly knelt down in front of Zhang Hanqing and tried to hug Zhang Hanqing's thigh with both hands. Zhang Hanqing was shocked by her unexpected charge. He instinctively pushed forward, but he hit two soft spots and couldn't help but retract his hands.
With just such a pull, Huang Ruqing hugged his thigh tightly and said almost in tears: "Young Marshal, please save my father. He is the backbone of our family. Without him, how can we live together!? I've already lost my husband, I can't lose him again!" She had no time to recall the feeling of being eaten, and she shook Zhang Hanqing excitedly. In the completely personal contact, some parts of Zhang Hanqing were bumped by this woman's head like a deer, butI felt something. Thinking back to the moment of contact just now, it felt so comfortable!
However, he was not the first brother. He quickly woke up from his wandering mind and tried hard to free his legs from the shackles: "Miss Huang, what you did to me is heinous. If you come to beg me, you have found the wrong person."
Huang Ruqing is like a drowning man grabbing a piece of duckweed and clinging to it. She is indeed an extraordinary woman, with a tenacity that will never give up until she reaches her goal. She said eagerly: "You are the only one who can save my father. As long as my father is spared his life, I am willing to give up all the Huang family's property!" "
Is this a bargain? Zhang Hanqing smiled lightly and said: "The Huang family's property will be confiscated. Don't you think it's a bit funny that you use the confiscated things to buy your father's life? Not only Ruichang Hengjin Store, Ruichang Hengqianzhuang, but also the people in this yard Items, except those belonging to your family, will be confiscated." As expected, it's not like a family doesn't want to enter a house. In this scene, her cousin Huang Wanqing also did the same thing.
Huang Ruqing felt the result early in the morning. She was just an instinct coming from a business family. She cried in an almost desperate tone: "As long as I have it, you can take it, as long as it can save my father's life." She suddenly lowered her voice: "Anything is fine!"
I believe that any normal man would know what she is referring to. Although she is no longer a virgin, she is still a very traditional Chinese woman. She couldn't hold her head up when a man other than her husband said such shameful words. Fortunately, it was dark, so her blushing face was not noticeable in the candlelight.
Her head was buried deeply between Zhang Hanqing's legs at this time. Her body was throbbing due to excitement and shyness, and the constant rubbing caused Zhang Hanqing to tremble. Through the thick cotton clothes, he could still feel the strong vitality jumping under him, and it was really painful to scratch the itch.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I have been busy dealing with the financial crisis and have no time to go home and release my savings. The high-intensity rhythm suddenly stopped at this time, and the gentle attraction became more and more difficult to control. Zhang Hanqing felt that he was a little distracted.
As a mature woman, Huang Ruqing clearly knows what that means. This is also her original intention, isn't it? For the sake of her father and the Huang family, she was ready to sacrifice when she invited Zhang Hanqing. She believed that she had enough capital for this famous and romantic young marshal. What to do next? She is also a woman who has been married for more than two years. Although her husband does not spend much time at home, knowing is knowing. He knows everything. Sometimes, given a platform, people can achieve many incredible things. She It's one of them.
“I’m not worried about the young marshal’s failure to admit his fault. This young marshal’s credit is still very good. Besides, the young commander gave her a good feeling. Handsome guys and beauties were always popular, not to mention his noble status.
Her face was buried there, she felt the young commander's vitality, and she moved around with her face. If someone looks at it from one side, they will definitely think that this is a typical island country AV recording scene, with standard and tempting movements.
Zhang Hanqing was a little dazed. He finally understood why men should have power, finally understood why sexual bribes emerged in endlessly in modern officialdom, and finally understood why there must be one or a dozen beautiful women behind corrupt men. He had the intention to push her away, but he couldn't use any force with his hands, or he didn't want to use any force at all.
In order to save her father, Huang Wanqing resorted to a trick of feeding a tiger; in order to save her father, Huang Ruqing resorted to the King of Cleansing. Why did the two sisters of the Huang family use the same trick? But why are these tricks so effective for him?
No matter how principled he was, he gradually lost his way under the impact of this primitive instinct. He put his hand on Huang Ruqing's shoulder, intending to get rid of her when she finally woke up at the coffin, but accidentally touched her smooth and tender chin, and then with Huang Ruqing's acquiescence, he stretched out along the warm and smooth neck to her back. . It's warm as spring here and the fragrance is pleasant.
Once he lets go, he acts very boldly. He has a natural talent for this kind of thing. Previously, she was still hiding it and acting like a gentleman, but now she has completely let it go.
With the idea of ????pleasing the young marshal to save his father's life, Huang Ruqing went all out and cooperated unconditionally with Zhang Hanqing's request. Under this man's enthusiasm, she abandoned her shame and self-esteem. Committing herself to this young and heroic young marshal can be regarded as the greatest blessing among misfortunes. At least, she did not suffer the humiliation of being raped, but had the determination before she died. All a weak daughter can do is sacrifice herself to save her father.
After all, it was a bit of an eyesore in the living room. No matter how romantic Zhang Hanqing was, he would not be so perverted and bold. He dragged Huang Ruqing and walked towards her bedroom. Huang Ruqing followed suit step by step, still maintaining that ambiguous posture.
At this time, the servants of the Huang Mansion heard the news that the young marshal personally ransacked the house, and saw many heavily armed soldiers outside the door, and they all hid far away. Huang's mother had also rested. Fortunately, no one noticed her from the living room to the bedroom. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Far away. Huang's mother had also rested. Fortunately, no one noticed her from the living room to the bedroom. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Huang's Mansion is still very big, at least walking from the living room to Huang Ruqing's bedroom feels very long, maybe it's psychological.
But more importantly, Huang Ruqing followed suit. Especially when she came to the door, she turned the doorknob twice but didn't open it. In the end, it was Zhang Hanqing who helped.
Her bedroom has a light orchid fragrance, which is just right for her.
Huang Ruqing did not turn on the light, and Zhang Hanqing did not do the same. In the dark night, the lonely man and the widow looked at each other in silence, with only the sound of increasingly rapid breathing. Amidst the rustling sounds, Huang Ruqing silently unbuttoned her shirt and loosened her clothes.
A bright white crescent moon shines on the window sill, projecting a faint light and reflecting a body that looks like water and mist. Ambiguity and charm are intertwined, this will be a long sleepless night.
"Are you just going to let me stand in the dark like this?" Finally, Zhang Hanqing took the initiative to speak, with a joking smile.
"I" Huang Ruqing originally made up her mind to devote herself to saving her father, but in this atmosphere, she didn't know how to deal with it. Facing Zhang Hanqing alone, Huang Ruqing was extremely shy and timid. After all, she was a woman from a good family. Although there was a reason for the incident, she could not be so shameless towards another strange man. But this is the young commander she took the initiative to flirt with. This kind of contradiction makes it impossible to judge which one is right and which one is wrong.
"I never force a woman." Zhang Hanqing said suddenly. Although his body actually betrayed his nature, his words still seemed so bachelor in the dark night. He had indeed been holding back a lot during this period. The wife of the wife was pregnant and could not have sex. There was a beautiful woman in front of him who could do whatever he wanted, which instantly made him more motivated. Although the weather is cold, it cannot stop the feeling of spring from below.
"I volunteer" Huang Ruqing gritted her teeth and boldly took his hand and put it on her chest.
Just now, under the light, the lips were beautiful, but now in the dark, the skin is full of elasticity. Zhang Hanqing was a little dizzy. He finally understood why men should have power, why sex and bribery are endless in modern official circles, and finally understood why there must be one or a dozen beautiful women behind a corrupt man. . He wanted to push her away, but he couldn't use his hands, or he didn't want to use any force at all. This feeling was suffocating.
In order to save his father, Huang Wanqing used a trick to feed a tiger; in order to save his father, Huang Ruqing simply took advantage of the situation. Why did the two sisters of the Huang family use the same trick? But why are these tricks so effective for him?
Further, there is an unprepared territory in front; take a step back, reluctant. No matter how principled he was, he gradually lost his way under the impact of this primitive instinct. It was just one hand, but now, with Huang Ruqing's acquiescence, his other hand came up and squeezed in along the warm and smooth neck. It is smooth and tender, warm as spring, plump and soft, and fragrant and pleasant.
Once he lets go, he acts very boldly. Zhang Hanqing has a natural talent for this kind of thing. Previously, she was still hiding it and acting like a gentleman, but now she has completely let it go. He was like a big net, covering Huang Ruqing in his arms. The more she struggled, the tighter they were wrapped.
It is very comfortable to experience the exchange of rejection and welcome with a woman. Zhang Hanqing is no longer Wu Xia Amon. The more he experiences it, the more he feels that Huang Ruqing is indeed a beauty in the world.
“Oh, it’s corrupt!
He sighed deeply in his heart, but his body exposed what was deep in his soul. Human nature, people want sex.
We have reached this point, any words are redundant, only action is the only right thing.
The moment he stepped in, Huang Ruqing did not forget to discuss the conditions: "Promise me to let my father go!"
"This is of your own free will Even so, I will still promise you and try to spare your father's life! I will do what I say." He said.
Although there are rumors that he is murderous, tyrannical, tough, romantic, etc., the young commander's reputation of being true to his word and true to his word is still very good in Fengtian Provincial City. At least Huang Ruqing did not doubt the authenticity of this statement.
With the idea of ????pleasing the young marshal to save his father's life, Huang Ruqing went all out and cooperated unconditionally with Zhang Hanqing's request. Under this man's enthusiasm, she abandoned her shame and self-esteem. Committing herself to this young and heroic young marshal can be regarded as the greatest blessing among misfortunes. At least, at this moment, she did not feel the humiliation of being raped, but had the determination before she died. All a weak daughter can do is sacrifice herself to save her father, which is great.
However, when he gave the final blow, the noise was a little louder. Huang Ruqing failed to control his throat and made a sound, which inevitably alerted others.
Zhang Hanqing is exerting great power,Across the way, Huang Ruqing blushed. His eyes are full of fun, how will you end it?
Listening to Zhang Hanqing’s dull footsteps gradually leaving the living room, Huang’s mother suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes bright and clear. Mother and daughter faced each other, and they had a thousand things to say and didn't know where to start. They just asked softly: "Did he agree?"
Huang Ruqing didn't know what she meant by asking, but it probably meant what she had done. She nodded mechanically.
Huang’s mother suddenly burst into tears, and Huang Ruqing hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her. Thinking of the pain involved, she couldn’t help but cry in her arms: “It’s my daughter’s fault for doing such a disgraceful thing!”
Huang Mu stroked her head and cried, "I don't blame you, it's us who have caused Qing'er trouble." Under such circumstances, if something like this happened, what else could a weak woman do besides giving up her body? What method?
Zhang Hanqing outside also reciprocated the favor. Under the influence of Huang Ruqing's "sacrifice for righteousness", the garrison in front of the Huang Mansion quietly disappeared at some point. This can be regarded as one of Zhang Hanqing's "return gifts" to her. However, the Huang Mansion was quiet after the physical fight, and few people knew about this incident.

A night of silence.
The next day, Fengtian City was a little more charming, and the order on the streets was surprisingly good. After a night of storms, as several giants fell from power, the financial crisis was suppressed and economic life was back on track. Now, it's time to receive the fruits of victory.
The home raiding guards of Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing received frequent reports of success and made great achievements. The income not only made up for the loss of Zhang Zuolin's private treasury, but also made the economic income of father and son rise to the level of Fengtian nobles. You must know that this battle almost took half of the Industrial Bank and the entire gold store, shop, and bank owned by Huang Xianting, the richest man in Fengtian, as his own, and his income more than doubled! But they weren't clean either, so Zhang Hanqing took them for granted.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? However, Lao Xiao Zhang has to take care of it when he makes a lot of money. After all, everyone sees it when he uses public tools to enter private houses. However, Xiao Zhang had an idea. He said to Lao Zhang privately: "Does father think it is necessary to keep the money bag in our own hands? Xueliang now has an idea. We use the money to set up our own bank. First, we can control Fengtian’s economy so that outsiders can’t get involved; secondly, it’s easy for us to use money, we don’t have to be constrained by outsiders at critical moments, and we can also prevent outsiders from telling us anything wrong.”
This statement is very attractive to Lao Zhang. Due to financial constraints, Zhang Zuolin was thinking about how to get money to expand armaments almost all the time. He also took out several loans from the Japanese, but almost always gave the Japanese some benefits, which made him very unwilling. If Zhang Hanqing can really solve this problem, that would be great. His mentality towards this eldest son is different now. Zhang Hanqing can always speak to his heart and make him feel comfortable, and his ideas are endless but extremely effective. Needless to say, this person who drank foreign ink is different - to this day, Lao Zhang still believes that Zhang Hanqing's achievements are due to the famous celebrities and foreign teachers he hired with huge sums of money.
However, Zhang Hanqing did reassure him: he showed the spirit of a young hero in Beijing, he could recruit people and get money, and he also made a fortune in the hands of a generation of tycoon Lao Yuan and escaped unscathed; A group of rough guys in the military camp fought together and fought their way out to control the Guard Brigade. Although he had a share of credit for this, if he didn't have a few brushes, he, a sixteen-year-old boy, would not have been able to suppress Wan Wan. The army that controls people——that is the army, which pays attention to qualifications and abilities! The various performances of the Guard Brigade made me admire myself. The performance of this new type of army in suppressing bandits was impressive. The key is that the eldest son was quite reassured at the important moment of the last assassination and his father-son relationship that was thicker than water.
In politics, he tinkered with land reform and military settlements. Although the results were unknown, his approach and ideas were still correct. At least, his eldest son's heart is focused on military affairs, instead of spending a lot of time on prodigal like many prodigal sons. This is enough. He also performed brilliantly in this financial crisis. He seemed to be omnipotent in politics, economy and military, which made Lao Zhang even doubt whether this kid was his son Zhang Zuolin. How could he be so troubled? Fortunately, his romantic side is similar to mine. Naturally, someone heard Zhang Hanqing's ridiculous scene last night. After all, the people the young marshal led were the guards of the marshal's mansion, not the young marshal's guards.
Although he was the governor and governor of Fengtian, Lao Zhang did not have the consciousness to give away the fat he got, even though the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat. Fengtian is not completely his own now. If it reaches that point, Lao Zhang's thinking may be a little open-minded, right?
How to make this well-known income his own legally, subtly, and unquestionably? He looked forward to Zhang Hanqing's opinion: "Well, tell me."
Zhang Hanqing began to reveal his private wealth: "Father, do you still remember that you injected a sum of money into the Fengtian Farmers' Capital Credit Cooperative some time ago? This cooperative is now headed by Feng Zhi's brother Ao Zhou as the general manager, and its savings have reached 5 million. ."
That’s a lot of money, Zhang Zuolin thought.
But what Zhang Hanqing said still surprised him, and he couldn't help but examine his eldest son's IQ even more: "The banking industry has always been at least ten times leveraged, and it took only two million in equity to absorb five million in savings, which is too little!"
Although Lao Zhang didn’t understand what leverage meant, he roughly guessed that this kid was adjusting his book bag with me. Although your dad and I can't read a lot of Chinese characters, as long as it has anything to do with money, I'm good at it.
"Why? Because the financial order in Fengtian is not good. There are so many large and small banks, leading to fierce competition. And most importantly, the decision-making power of the bank is not in the hands of my father. For example, Fengtian Industrial Bank is a joint venture between the government and businessmen, and the official capital is less than 30%. But the government is controlled by the central government, but this is still good; Industrial Bank and Agricultural Bank of China are completely out of touch with my father. Although they are located in Fengtian, my father has to ask the Japanese for money.borrow. What Xueliang means is that we take advantage of the Fengtian reshuffle to build our own financial system! "
Zhang Zuolin became interested: "How to do it?"
Zhang Hanqing said: "My father converted the confiscated items into cash, integrated them and bought shares in a bank, and then restricted the access of other banks to make this bank the only one. If Fengtian's spare money is pooled together, my father knows that this will How big a deal!?”
How come Zhang Zuolin doesn’t know? As long as no runs occur, banks can theoretically issue currency endlessly, which makes it much more convenient to use your own money. However, the impact of this incident is huge, and if you are not careful, it will cause a backlash from many parties. After all, land reform only affects local landowners in a county, while the banking industry involves all aspects.
Zhang Hanqing has had this idea for a long time, and now is the time to make a big difference. He said to Zhang Zuolin: "Of course we will not do it forcefully. We will only use a certain bank to go public in the backdoor market in the early stage. However, we can use this run to promulgate several regulations: take back the minting rights and currency issuance rights of all banks in Fengtian, and their functions. It can only absorb deposits and lend money; restrict the development of small and medium-sized banks, and let Fengtian form only a few influential large banks to enhance competitiveness; only banks supported by my father can have the right to issue the 'One or Two Ocean Exchange Notes'; our plan The Financial Services Agency must be established as soon as possible to intervene in the restructuring of the banking industry, and must firmly control the bank's reserve ratio."
The first two are restrictions; the second one is monopoly; and the last one is supervision. I have to say that Zhang Hanqing's idea is very vicious, completely blocking the lifeline of the banking industry, and it is reasonable. The entire article is to stabilize Fengtian's economic order and make others speechless. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 222 Shuffle

Zhang Zuolin readily agreed, and Zhang Hanqing's words touched his heart. If he can really do this, he will not only control the military and political power of Fengtian, but also have strong economic capabilities, and he will be the legitimate "King of Fengtian." He nodded and said: "This is a good idea. We will promote the Fengtian Farmers Capital Credit Cooperative this time; as for the director of the Financial Department, let Haiquan serve as the director."
Haiquan is Liu Shangqing. Since he and Zhang Zuolin were in the same boat during this financial crisis, he had a surprisingly good impression in Zhang Zuolin's mind. It was only natural that Lao Zhang wanted him to work part-time in banking supervision. As for putting all the money into the "Farmers Capital Credit Cooperative", that's because it is Yu Fengzhi's natal family's industry. Anyway, it is to support the family. Meat cooked in a small pot is always more delicious than in a big pot. Moreover, Yu Fengzhi’s daughter-in-law behaves very upright, and I like it very much. Giving her parents some benefits will also make her look good, which is a little thought from my father-in-law. Well.
But Zhang Hanqing didn't think so. He quickly stopped and said, "That's inappropriate. The Fengtian Farmers' Capital Credit Cooperative is newly established and it is Fengzhi's family's property. Giving it such a big responsibility rashly will make others dissatisfied and weaken his father." The significance of this financial reform. I think it is better to support another company, but we must give the credit union a chance to clear its name and let it become one of the several large banks in Fengtian. In addition, the candidate for the director of the Financial Services Department, Liu Although the uncle is available, the player and the referee cannot be the same person. I suggest that Zhang Huilin, my father's printing officer, should be the better person. This man is upright and loyal to his father. He is also engaged in supervision work, so he is familiar with it. ."
Liu Shangqing is the general office of the official bank accounts of the three northeastern provinces, which is a role similar to the Central Bank of China. The Central Bank already has natural control over commercial banks, and it is indeed inappropriate from a modern auditing perspective to allow it to work part-time at the Financial Services Agency. Zhang Huilin, also known as Zhiliang, was Zhang Zuolin's personal secretary and the printing officer of the Military Supervisory Office. He could be said to be Lao Zhang's confidant. Zhang Hanqing used him mainly because he and Fengtian's financial community have always been on two parallel lines. Taking up this position at this time is also a good promotion of financial order.
As for not letting the "Fengtian Farmers Capital Credit Utilization Cooperative" come forward, it's not that Zhang Hanqing doesn't want to, it's actually because there are still many places where it will be useful in the future land reform in Fengtian, and his selfish intention is to serve as his own reserve force. If it becomes Zhang Zuolin's economic team, it won't be so comfortable for me to use, right? His "selfless" words made Lao Zhang nod in approval. My son thinks about me and is so righteous, so he has to give him some sweet spots in the tide of financial reform in Fengtian, right?
At this time, the Beijing government demanded that the banknotes be withdrawn and "an explanation" be given to the currency holders. Therefore, Fengtian Industrial Bank had to "close down for rectification" on October 31, 1916.
Zhang Zuolin took advantage of this good opportunity and took the initiative to challenge. He announced the establishment of the Financial Services Department and appointed Zhang Huilin as the director. All large and small banks in Fengtian will be supervised and regularly audited by the Financial Services Department.
At the same time, it was announced that the most important measure to reorganize the finances is to merge Fengtian Industrial Bank and the Bank of the Three Northeastern Provinces into the official bank of the Three Northeastern Provinces. The benefits of doing so are manifold. Originally, these three banks were jointly owned by the government and businessmen of Feng Province and were independent of each other. This was obviously not conducive to the establishment of bank credit, and they often collided with each other in terms of business. From the perspective of fiscal unification, it is also necessary for the three banks to merge. As far as the modern banking system is concerned, it also requires one and only one "central bank" to issue currency and dominate currency credit. In this regard, the merger of the three lines is theoretically necessary.
At this time, Fengtian Industrial Bank and Dongsan Provincial Bank also encountered some operational difficulties. Let’s talk about Fengtian Industrial Bank first. It once issued 10 million yuan of four-percent bonds, and it had to pay 400,000 yuan in interest every year. Dongsan Provincial Bank originally planned to issue 7.5 million yuan of ocean bonds, but when it was issued to 4.7 million yuan, it began to depreciate. Bond holders are demanding redemption. If the issuance continues, a run on the bonds will most likely occur, with disastrous consequences. This also shows that the credit of these two banks is slightly lower than that of the official banks of the three eastern provinces. If they are merged into one, their credit will be increased and 400,000 yuan of funds can be saved every year.
So, how are the three lines merged? First, Guanyinhao issued 20 million yuan in exchange notes, and recovered all the 10 million bonds issued by Fengtian Industrial Bank and the 7.5 million ocean bonds issued by Dongsan Provincial Bank; at the same time, the properties of Fengtian Industrial Bank and Dongsan Province Bank were attributed to Guanyinhao . After the commercial shares of the three banks were acquired by the government, the merged official banks of the three northeastern provinces became the "Central Bank" of the Northeast with purely government shares.
After full deliberation, on December 30 of this year, the official banks of the three northeastern provinces began to issue "one-two exchange coupons", that is, large foreign notes that were exchanged for 12 jiao small foreign notes per yuan, to recycle small foreign notes. On the same day, Zhang Zuolin ordered the abolition of the "Feng Xiaoyang Piao" standard and changed it to the "Feng Da Yang Piao" standard. "FengThe "Great Ocean Note" is unified with the national silver dollar currency unit and is equal to the Japanese gold note of 1 yuan, thus preventing money dealers from profiting from the exchange price difference. Before that, Zhang Zuolin also borrowed 3 million gold notes from the Fengtian Office of the Bank of Korea. As a reserve fund. In this way, the Northeast Financial Crisis of 1916 was finally eased.
Anyway, it is a credit currency and it is in a monopoly position, so the new "Feng Dayang Coupon" suddenly became the only currency in Fengtian. From now on, the currency issuance in the three northeastern provinces will be handled by the official bank, and the issuance quota will be negotiated with the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications (under the central government).
At that time, the purchasing power of one dollar was very large, and the annual income of an ordinary family was only a dozen oceans. Originally, Fengtian small foreign notes had "big money" of one dime, two cents, and five cents. However, smaller auxiliary coins still needed to be circulated, so it was imperative to issue small coins.
Due to the chaos of currency during the Republic of China, in addition to national-level banks, each province also had provincial-level banks, but they mainly issued large-denomination currencies, while copper coins were the main ones with small denominations. However, copper coins on the market are heavy and limited in quantity. Not everyone with large denominations can afford them. It is very inconvenient for citizens to trade. It is necessary to specially issue small-denomination currency in copper yuan. During this period, many provinces also had copper dollar bureaus that specialized in issuing copper coins. In later generations, didn't the RMB also have small coins of one cent, two cents, and five cents?
Zhang Hanqing, Liu Shangqing and other financial committees decided to establish the Fengtian Copper Coin Bureau, which would be under the official silver number of the three eastern provinces and specialize in the issuance of copper yuan (unit: pieces) with a denomination of one cent and copper yuan rolls (notes). In Fengtian, copper dollar tickets are directly linked to Dayang and Dayang coupons. 100 copper dollar coupons can be exchanged for one yuan of Dayang or Dayang coupons.
This small denomination copper coin was very popular in the early days and was quickly recognized by the market. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

This is a crucial battle for Zhang Zuolin. What he lacks now is time. To pave the way for Fengtian's financial industry, you need to have a strong family background before you can say anything else. Therefore, Zhang Hanqing’s approach is to engage in construction behind closed doors.
By the 7th year of the Republic of China (1918), the official bank of the three northeastern provinces had stable currency value and abundant strength, becoming the financial hub of the entire Northeast region. The currency issued not only circulated in the three northeastern provinces, but also extended to Jehol, Hebei, Shanghai and other provinces. City, and the number of official bank branches in the three eastern provinces once increased to 99. Compared with Guanhai, Northeast China has experienced unprecedented prosperity and stability. This is a story for another day.
The Finance and Economics Committee has regulated the access and business scope of Fengtian’s banking industry: any bank with a registered capital of less than two million yuan will not be allowed to operate in Fengtian Province; existing banks with a registered capital of less than two million yuan will not be allowed to operate in Fengtian Province. It will be integrated within a time limit (anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is tailor-made for Yu Fengzhi's natal "Fengtian Farmers' Fund Credit Cooperative"), otherwise it will cease operations and be closed. Its branches in various places will be taken over by the official bank account; the headquarters is not in Fengtian Banks, except for the official bank, their business institutions in Fengtian are required to pay deposit reserves of no less than 30% of the turnover at the official bank of the three northeastern provinces.
“In this way, in the entire Fengtian, only three government-run companies, namely the Three Eastern Provinces Guanyinhao, Bank of China, and Bank of Communications, and one private company, Fengtian Farmers Capital Credit Cooperative, meet the access standards. However, Heilongjiang Guanyin Bank, Zhubian Bank, and Industrial Bank were on the verge of bankruptcy due to insufficient funds.
The three banks are trying their best to raise new capital. However, with the run on Fengtian and the impact of a strong crackdown on financial speculation, and the Fengtian Financial and Economic Commission has issued a decree, most investors are not optimistic about this kind of capital injection. Heilongjiang Guanyin Bank wisely chose to merge with Northeast Guanyin Bank, but Zhubian Bank and Industrial Bank still wanted to suffer. Among them, Shubian Bank relied on its abundant funds, its headquarters in Beijing, and its large business, so it ignored the Financial Services Agency's order to announce its financial situation in Fengtian within a time limit.
"Zhongbian Bank" was originally founded by Xu Shaozhen, Wang Yitang, Xu Shiying and other Beiyang soldiers. It was officially opened in Beijing on January 22, 1914, with Wang Pengnian as its general manager. The bank's main responsibility is "to assist the Bank of China in catching up with border financial forces", with a total capital of 20 million yuan. However, according to the regulations of the Fengtian Financial and Economic Committee, since it is a private company, it needs to produce financial statements in Fengtian as a basis and pay a large amount of cash as deposit reserves.
As the supervisory authority of the banking industry, it is acceptable for the Financial Services Agency to inspect statements, but paying such a huge reserve fund has caused great distress to the Fengtian branches. Originally, due to the bank run, the money supply of major banks shrank and a large amount of cash reserves had been used up. Now, with so many reserves to be handed over, there are very few funds that can be loaned out. In summary, the interest rate difference is not enough for daily expenses. In this case, what will the bank eat?
There are policies and measures to counter. Several managers of Shubian Bank in Fengtian came up with a not-so-good idea: to make false accounts. They instructed branches to consciously conceal the savings of some branches to reduce the number of reserves turned over. Unfortunately, an indirect incident caused their plan to be exposed, thus destroying the financial wall that had been built for many years.
Just after New Year’s Day, the Financial Services Agency reported a related financial scandal involving the Fengtian Branch of the Shubian Bank, which was discovered due to the dead loans of its subordinate branches: this also intensified the false accounting crisis of the Mingtian Branch of the Shubian Bank. It was caused by Feng Delin, Fengtian's deputy military affairs officer, borrowing two million from Shibian Bank to open a factory, and the main product of this factory was instant noodles.
After months of preparations, Zhang Hanqing and his "Yi Tong" Food Factory made their grand debut after months of inactivity. Slogans such as "Yi Tong, this is the taste", "Yi Tong, the more you eat, the better it tastes", "Eat Yi Tong noodles, unify the whole of China" resounded throughout the northern continent. Due to the novel taste and fast-eating properties of instant noodles, it has quickly become a popular new thing in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas. Some places even send their parents-in-law as holiday gifts, and many of them also use "Yi Tong" instant noodles. This makes Zhang Hanqing and him The friends were unexpected. In some theaters and tea houses, "Yi Tong" instant noodles have become a kind of snack, which is fashionable and down-to-earth and very popular. After Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang Province, saw with his own eyes the advantages of instant noodles in terms of military logistics support, he ordered 100,000 boxes with a stroke of his pen, advertising the "Yi Tong" instant noodles.
It is not an indoor flower or an outdoor fragrance. At least Fengtian Provincial City does not allow this kind of thing to be as beautiful as other places. According to statistics from the Fengtian sales department, in December alone, Fengtian Provincial City consumed 300,000 packages, and merchants also made reservations. Half a million bales. In this sales hut, mountains of instant noodles that had been stored for up to three months were cleared away. Supply exceeded demand in various places. The factory worked overtime and overtime and was unable to supply the distribution departments in various places.??Demand. In this round alone, more than 14 million packages of "Yi Tong" instant noodles were sold, with a net profit of nearly 300,000!
Not only that, but taking into account the hundreds of workers supported by this factory and the benefits that indirectly benefited the Guards Brigade Troops, this "unified" instant noodles can be said to be a great success, with not only amazing economic benefits, but also extraordinary social benefits.
This makes people salivate.
However, Zhang Hanqing was well prepared. He had already registered with the Fengtian Department of Industry and Commerce. Except for the "Yitong" factory, Fengtian Province will not allow the production of similar products for 10 years. This is also the origin of China's patent system. In addition, he also arranged for someone to publish a statement in the "Fengtian Times" for seven consecutive days, stating that instant noodles were an invention of the "Yitong" Food Factory, and others were not allowed to imitate them, and violators would be prosecuted. He knew that the birth of this thing would surely lead to imitation by businesses, so he laid the groundwork here first. You can't control other provinces and cities by yourself, but in Fengtian, you have to follow Fengtian's rules. Maybe this is a kind of collusion between government and business? This will allow China to embark on the sunny road of respecting knowledge and talents in advance, and collusion between government and business is not out of the question.
Others can take care of it, but Feng Delin cannot. Zhang Hanqing reclaimed farmland for water conservancy, built pig houses and set up factories. Feng Delin saw all these measures and was anxious about them. Not only was the Guards Brigade really useless for provincial financial support, but it was also living well, so he couldn't help but pay attention to it. As soon as instant noodles became popular, he felt that this was a good way to make money. The production was simple, and the "unified" instant noodles opened up the market. According to the principle that quantitative change equals qualitative change, he needs to invest a large amount of capital to seize the market. Otherwise, once the "Yi Tong" instant noodles completely flood the market, it will be more difficult for latecomers to intervene. That's why they borrowed money from the "Colonial Bank" to build factories. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Money is easy to borrow. After all, Feng Delin is also the commander-in-chief of the separatist party. He is a little inferior to Zhang Zuolin in terms of position, but he is also between them in terms of strength. Besides, he is still an old man from Fengtian. However, technical work must not be ambiguous at all. It is a bit difficult to make instant noodles, especially instant noodles like "Yi Tong" that have improved the taste of the country.
"However, no matter how serious the experiment is, it is obvious that time waits for no one. The market is a very wonderful thing, and it pays to be first-in-class. Once it is truly recognized, it is extremely difficult to change it. If we continue to work step by step and follow the process, even if we come up with exactly the same thing, we won't be able to release it for half a year and five months. If there is no scale effect at this time, the amortized cost alone will cast a shadow on its prospects.
Feng Yong, who was entrusted by his father to prevent Zhang Hanqing from being the best in the production of instant noodles, was very surprised: his father was also a commander-in-chief, and both of them were named Hanqing. His achievements were even worse than Zhang Hanqing's. . At an unseemly young age, this boy had made quite a name for himself in the military circles, and he also shone brightly in some kind of land reform. If you continue to do business and succeed, how can you ask others to live?
Thinking about it, these instant noodles are obviously just sun-dried noodles, and the rural methods of making them are also similar. The success of "unifying" instant noodles is probably because it has little technical content and is just a matter of luck, right? Is there any way to produce the instant noodles you produce quickly and achieve success in quantity?
He is not a petty person. The conflict between his father and Zhang Zuolin is the same thing, but it does not affect his appreciation of Zhang Hanqing: this is an immortal talent. Judging from his performance over the years, he is regarded as a "talent sent from heaven" It’s no exaggeration to describe it. He paid attention to Zhang Hanqing's instant noodles just because he saw money and hope in them.
Assembling and improving his own aircraft requires a large amount of money, and he always takes money from his father. Firstly, he is embarrassed, and secondly, he does not want to see his father's dissatisfied eyes. Although his father, who looks stern but is actually kind, treats his behavior like this Obsession has never said a word, and has always worked hard to fulfill its wishes.
At this time, a few masters who came out of the "Yi Tong" food factory made his eyes light up: Why don't you hire them with high salaries and use them for me? This not only saves time and effort, but can also directly expand the product, eliminating the slow and tortuous process of market cultivation. And the most important thing is that he can make a lot of money, save his father's support, and still appear to be useful.
He moved at will, and he was most fond of a middle-aged man named Master He: everyone called him the deputy chief engineer, and it was said that he was a very skilled and authoritative person in the "Yi Tong" food factory; he himself said He is familiar with the entire process of "Yi Tong" instant noodles. As long as he has the investment in equipment and human resources, he can produce exactly the same thing immediately.
Feng Yong was like a treasure. He recruited this group of people in the name of high salary and quickly reported to Feng Delin. Of course, he exaggerated the abilities of these people a little bit.
Feng Delin’s ambition is not here, but if he has the opportunity to suppress Zhang Hanqing, he will be happy to see it. Moreover, the eldest son, who was obsessed with the field of aircraft and was out of control, rarely showed interest in the economy. As Feng Delin, who wanted him to make achievements in the military and political fields, of course he had to give his full support, so there was a scene where Feng Delin quickly took out a loan.
The money arrived smoothly, and he hired Master He as the factory director. According to the structure of the "Yi Tong" food factory, six lines were quickly built. Originally, according to the wishes of the eldest son Feng Yong, he could first buy a dough rolling machine and trial-produce it. If everything goes well, then gradually add lines, which is safer. He is making money, not challenging Zhang Hanqing.
But Deputy Chief Engineer He curled his lips and said: "In business, it seems that we have all underestimated Marshal Zhang. Marshal said that the workmanship of this instant noodles is so simple that it can be produced in a family workshop. There is almost no technical content, and the only gimmick is novelty." . Just like chasing stars, when everyone is chasing them, you have to express yourself whether you want to or not, otherwise you will seem a little outdated. This is the star effect.
The same goes for instant noodles. When the novelty of the world wears off, whatever delicacies they eat will be boring, and instant noodles will become ordinary noodles. If we don’t enter this field quickly at this time, once everyone swarms in, no matter how good the market is, it will be squeezed out, especially instant noodles with extremely low cost and extremely low threshold. Therefore, the production capacity accumulated by the young commander for three months was released at once, which indeed created a star effect.
Doing business requires such courage. "
What Deputy Chief Engineer He said made sense. Feng Delin thought for a moment and then said: "If you do it, let's do it big time. At the very least, it will confuse the instant noodles market and make the kid named Zhang also suffer!"
Feng Yong smiled bitterly, this was not business, but anger. But he is a filial child, and he would not say these words to his father.
Quickly select the site and build the factory, Feng DelinThe dream of producing and selling while repaying loans was shattered. Due to a miscalculation of the situation, a large amount of raw materials and machinery occupied a large amount of funds. The wages of workers and the cost of opening up the market used up the 500,000 yuan previously loaned from the Bank of Japan. To expand reproduction, another amount of funds is needed, and I am afraid it will still need to be loaned from the bank.
However, the news coming from the provincial capital made Feng Yong and Feng Delin at a loss: Shibian Bank was ordered to suspend business for rectification because it failed to comply with the instructions of the Fengtian Finance and Economics Committee and the Financial Services Department. Not only was it no longer possible to borrow money from it, but it was also required to return the original loan. This made Feng Shuai, young and old, even worse, feeling like he was being held captive by an invisible glove. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 225 The formation of chaebol
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The first payment for Feng Yong’s food factory was a loan from Shubian Bank.
In view of Feng Delin’s status and the prospect of instant noodles, the Beizhen Branch of the Shibian Bank decided to lend the money and agreed on an interest of one cent. However, Beizhen was a big place in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. By the late Qing Dynasty, it had fallen behind Fengtian and Liaoyang. The turnover of the entire branch was not enough to issue this huge loan of 500,000 yuan, so it had to turn to the Fengtian branch for help. Also tempted by generous profits, the branch transferred a sum of funds to allow the loan to be formed.
If Zhang Hanqing didn’t know such big news, he would be derelict in his duty. As an old rival, he had already spread the net of the "Fengqi Bureau" to Beizhen. Under the notification of the "Fengqi Bureau", the newly established Financial Services Department conducted a surprise inspection of the Fengtian Branch of Shibian Bank in the name of monthly audit, and also discovered this illegal loan project - in order to avoid a high proportion of deposit reserves. , Shubian Bank consciously concealed some of its turnover. To use modern words, it was a second account.
But going back to Feng Delin’s loan, this action can be seen clearly. In accordance with the law, the Financial Services Agency issued an order to rectify all branches of the Bank of Japan in Fengtian within a time limit. And without explanation, all branches in various places were closed down, and their business was handed over to the official banks of the three northeastern provinces. The reason was that "if you don't think about past mistakes, there is a risk of cholera cholera local financial order and disrupting economic life." Shubian Bank again With the background, strong dragons still can't suppress local gangsters, and the Financial Services Agency has taken over the national interests during the financial crisis, so he has nothing to do. Everyone knows who is standing behind this official bank account. The president of the Beizhen branch was dismissed, and Shibian Bank filed a lawsuit with the Fengtian High Court on the grounds that Feng Delin colluded with branch employees to illegally defraud loans, demanding Feng Delin return the money.
Another thorn in the side, Industrial Bank, saw that the situation was not good and had already thought about how to retreat. This Industrial Bank is also known as "Quanye Bank", and its earliest name was "Fengtian Agricultural Bank". When Fengtian was hit by severe floods at the beginning of the first year of the Republic of China, Zhang Xiluan, then the governor of Fengtian Province, allocated 300,000 taels in April to provide relief. Silver was established and banknotes were issued for circulation. In 1913, due to insufficient funds, the company raised more than 500,000 yuan in commercial shares and 200,000 yuan in official funds under the name of "Quanye Bank". In July, it was reorganized into the Fengtian Industrial (Head Office) Bank, a joint venture between government and businessmen. The head office is located in Fengtian, with four branches. After years of hard work, the share capital has been increased to 1.5 million, and the capital held is as much as 5 million.
Because the official capital is low and the main character Zhang Xiluan is already a has-been figure, he lacks confidence when facing the cooperation between the official banks of the three northeastern provinces and the Financial Services Department who came from behind. The arrogant Shubian Bank has suffered a defeat, and its own registered capital is not much, so it dares not challenge the government. But now there are very few institutions that dare or have the power to take over the business. Is this entity that has always had a good reputation really going to close down?
The savior has come. Learning that Industrial Bank was in trouble, Yu Aozhou personally discussed the merger with its senior management. However, Fengtian Farmers Capital Credit Cooperative has only been established for three months, with a share capital of just over 2 million. Its capital holdings are only tied with it, but it wants to eat up Industrial Bank in one fell swoop. His plan was to establish a new agricultural bank, with Fengtian Farmers Capital Credit Cooperative accounting for 75 percent and Industrial Bank the remainder.
This is naked blackmail! The difference between the two companies is only 500,000 yuan, but they have three times the shareholding ratio. This is clearly bullying! It's blackmail!
Of course, Yu Aozhou is confident: his cooperative is now one of the four major banks in Fengtian. Excluding the 10% reserve ratio, it has 4.5 million yuan in theory available. Since Industrial Bank was ordered to cease operations, the 5 million in savings was just a number and could not be used as equity. All that could be used was its 1.5 million in equity. From this theory, Yu Aozhou is right.
When he came, he was already confident. Zhang Hanqing gave him sufficient inside information and promised not to let any other bank or entity inject capital into the other party. If this can't be won, the Yu family's reputation as the richest businessman in western Liaoning will really be wasted.
The final result excited Zhang Hanqing and others. After clarifying Yu Aozhou's background, everyone at Industrial Bank wisely chose to compromise. In full recognition of its business venues, popularity, brand effect, and sufficient cash flow, Yu Aozhou finally raised the proportion of Industrial Bank in the newly established Agricultural Bank of China to 30%, and more than half of the management personnel and operating personnel Personnel were retained.
This is what Yu Aozhou is happy to see. After all, the credit union has only been established for a short time and has not yet formed a brand effect. There are not enough familiar or experienced banking personnel. With the foundation of Industrial Bank, these things are no big deal.
Zhang Zuolin paid a lot of attention to the newly established Agricultural Bank of China: he instructed Liu Shangqing and Zhang Huilin to provide appropriate preferential treatment to the Agricultural Bank of China. The two capable men in the financial world understood and took the initiative to understand the situation.The deposit reserve ratio of commercial banks was lowered to less than 10%, which allowed the Agricultural Bank of China to expand rapidly. As chairman and general manager, Yu Aozhou began his first take-off in life.
Agricultural Bank of China is first based in Fengtian. Its main business scope is farmland reclamation, construction of water conservancy facilities, large-scale aquatic products, animal husbandry, etc. It is qualitatively different from the farmer, agriculture, and rural small loans that the Farmers Credit Cooperative is involved in. , and compared with its branches mainly distributed in rural areas, Agricultural Bank of China is based in cities.
Of course, in order to prevent vicious competition, the Bank of China, the Bank of Communications, and the Guanyin Bank of the Three Northeastern Provinces each have their own business scope: for example, the main business of the Guanyin Bank of the Three Northeastern Provinces is factories, mining, and light industry; the Bank of Communications's main business is railways and highways. , water transportation and bridge construction; Bank of China is responsible for urban construction. In the vast countryside, the Yu family, headed by Ao Zhou, gradually grew.
Of course, the success of this uncle is inseparable from Zhang Hanqing's "silent" support. The Yu family has become Zhang Hanqing's private treasury. With the improvement of Zhang Hanqing's status and the growth of his clan, the Yu family has also grown. The monopoly of financial power has gradually made Zhang Hanqing a person that Fengtian cannot be underestimated, and it is not just the factor of being a commander-in-chief.
In contrast, Feng Delin and his son are in trouble: it seems that they have been stabbed. Now after a lot of hard work, the food factory has been built, but there are problems with subsequent operations. Not only was the principal required to be returned, but hundreds of manpower and food and drink expenses for dozens of employees were spent on building the factory, which was a huge expense. The most annoying thing is that just when we are about to get on the right track, the capital chain is broken.
The three banks in Fengtian controlled by Zhang Zuolin all refused to give Lao Feng a loan, let alone the Agricultural Bank of China. Zhubian Bank figured out the grudge between Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin, and in order to protect themselves, they also fell out with him. In the huge Fengtian, no powerful consortium took over, so Feng Delin even had the idea of ??embezzling military pay, but was fortunately blocked by Feng Yong.

Chapter 226 Dumping
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
As a last resort, Feng Delin used his own savings to fill the gap. After some hard work, "Master Yang" instant noodles officially left the factory, bearing the brunt of the impact on the market in Fengtian, the provincial capital.
However, despite the similar taste of his instant noodles, the market does not seem to accept it, at least the various entities related to the government and controlled by Zhang Zuolin do not buy his face. Moreover, "Yi Tong" instant noodles have successfully opened the hearts of ordinary people. In addition, public opinion often claims that "Master Yang" is a copycat of "Yi Tong" technology, so sales are not optimistic.
This is when the role of sales channels comes into play. When Zhang Hanqing first established the factory, he used an overwhelming advertising and agency system to win the commanding heights in sales in surrounding areas and in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. "Master Yang" was even less able to gain momentum outside the province - with Feng Delin's current strength and Energy, capital and experience are essential to build such a framework in a short period of time. He really has no mood to compete with "unification" outside the province.
Even in the province, people in Fengtian have no feelings about this newly manufactured brand: the taste seems to be similar, but the rare thing is that "Yi Tong" has a great reputation and tastes more respectable; in terms of price, a pack of "Yi Tong" costs 5 cents, " "Master Yang" didn't dare to ask for more, and it was still 5 cents a pack, but it felt like "Yi Tong" had the upper hand. Moreover, because of its large quantity, "Yi Tong" makes a lot more money from the same package than "Master Yang" in terms of profit.
There is no way. If "Master Yang" who has just solved the problem of whether or not wants to occupy a place, price war seems to be the way out. Yu Liang and Feng Delin reluctantly decided to sell "Master Yang" at a reduced price, 9 cents for two packs.
This decision was very attractive to the people who were not financially strong in the early years of the Republic of China. Even if you earn half a cent per pack, there is still a lot of profit to be made. I heard that "Master Yang" instant noodles are delicious and cheap, and they really attracted a lot of attention.
But in less than half a day, I heard the news that "Yi Tong" instant noodles were also selling at a reduced price. This time, the retail price dropped from 5 cents to 4 cents, which was a greater discount than "Master Yang's". The combination of famous brands and low prices immediately made consumers who had previously been half-hidden about "Master Yang" immediately rush to "Yi Tong".
The problem was thrown to Feng Delin's side again. Should we continue to lower prices or wait until Zhang Hanqing's side cannot support it first? Following the price reduction, the same price as "Yi Tong" will definitely not work. After all, they still have brand effect. If it goes down further, based on the current scale and cost of "Master Yang", it will be a loss and a profit. It can be said that there are excuses for the early stage of grabbing the market, but now that cash flow is needed, it will be bankrupt if it continues like this. Moreover, "Yi Tong"'s current profit margin is still very high. It is said that they are backed by Fengtian Farmers' Capital Credit Cooperative. In such a competition, Feng Delin must be the first to go bankrupt.
But there is no other way. If you don’t give it a try now, you will definitely lose. This is something Feng Delin will never tolerate. If he loses to Zhang Zuolin in military and political affairs, and if he is no longer as good as Zhang Hanqing in business, he will have no place to put his old face!
Gritting his teeth, "Master Yang" followed. Unexpectedly, as soon as he announced it, the price of "Unification" immediately dropped, three guarantees for one dime!
This will cost you your life! I am a newly opened business, so I need money for everything, and I am still getting used to it. The price of three cents and three cents is just enough to protect my capital. But in this case, when can the loan be paid off? Shubian Bank has filed a lawsuit in the provincial capital, accusing Feng Delin of colluding with branch employees to lend illegally. Although I can’t do anything to myself for the time being, at least I have a bad reputation! I think back then, Marshal Feng's reputation was very famous in Fengtian City. Now he is the defendant.
Regardless of their backgrounds at Shubian Bank, they dare to challenge Marshal Feng. But what to do at this level? It seems that the boy named Zhang is determined to have trouble with him. Who doesn't know that the investor of this "Yi Tong" food factory is Zhang Hanqing! Otherwise, except for his approval, who would dare to do this at a loss?
The east wind is blowing, the war drums are beating, who is afraid of the commander-in-chief? "Master Yang" also gritted his teeth and agreed to the same price. For a time, the two marshals in Fengtian Provincial City devoted their energy to reducing the price of instant noodles.
Zhang Hanqing, who was paying attention to this, heard the latest information from the "Fengqi Bureau" and decisively ordered: "One third per pack, the same price for the whole city, even if we use dumping, we will defeat 'Master Yang'! We just make less money, but they It’s going to hurt your muscles and bones.”
It hurt my bones, and it hurts in my heart. Feng Delin and his son had to accompany the prince to study. For three cents a pack of noodles, it was basically a tear-jerking sale. "Unification" is related to the large domestic market. Fengtian Province only accounts for slightly more than 30% of sales, and even at this price, it can still make a little profit. "Master Yang" is destined to lose every pack he sells.
I don’t know when, a bunch of wealthy traders appeared in Fengtian market, and they made huge sums of money from every batch of goods sold by "Master Yang". Basically "Master Yang" is convenientAs soon as it appeared, these people bought it all without frowning. The sales guys were very excited at first, thinking they had met a big customer. But gradually they also felt something strange: there were no "Master Yang" products on the market, but "Yi Tong" instant noodles became very popular, eroding more and more of the market. "Master Yang" was like a flash in the pan, and soon disappeared.
It was already a week later that Feng Delin knew about this. This group of people seemed to have unlimited financial resources, buying up a million bales of production in a row. Over time, after the cost of "Master Yang" dropped again, the price of three-thirds per pack did not seem to be unacceptable, at least allowing Feng Delin's food factory to maintain a break-even——and still make a little profit. This is not a small improvement, after all, there is still market share.
Of course, Feng Delin would not let these big customers go. He looked at these people with his weathered eyes and had heart-to-heart conversations with them through Feng Yong. It turns out that this group of people came from Shanxi, and instant noodles in Guanhai cost 5 cents per pack. They ate them from Fengtian at 3 cents per pack, and then transported them to Shanxi. After deducting freight and other expenses, they made a net profit of 1 cent.
The reason why we buy "Master Yang" instead of "Yi Tong" at the same price is because "Yi Tong" has a clear regional agency system within the customs, and the price is transparent and uniform, and there is absolutely no price difference allowed within the customs. Therefore, they can only use other brands for resale. This is what Lao Feng believes.
Since I don’t have the ability to sell my product outside the country, this group of people can, and they have needs for each other, so they naturally hit it off. This group of people wanted to sign a long-term contract with Lao Feng and order "Master Yang's" goods on a large scale. Hearing them talk about the hot-selling scene outside the customs, their Shanxi dialect of "Uh, Uh" was very authentic, and Feng Delin's blood boiled. He patted his chest and legs and said that the food factory will definitely expand its production capacity and give priority to meeting their needs. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 227 Shanxi Guests Rescued in Crisis
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
As a guarantee, Shanxi customers paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan in advance, which was a large sum of money, enough to purchase more than 300,000 packages of "Master Yang". Their agreement was that one million bales would be traded one week later, and no less than that amount every week thereafter.
In terms of production capacity, the "Master Yang" food factory can currently produce 100,000 packages per day, which requires expansion of reproduction. Where does the money for equipment and raw materials come from? It doesn't matter, Lao Feng still has confidence. In addition to part of the 1.5 million yuan intercepted from Duan Zhigui last time to purchase arms, there is still a part left. With his savings over the years, there is no problem in purchasing some machinery. This was also the reason why he still dared to start a price war with Zhang Hanqing when Zhubian Bank was calling for payment.
With the experience of opening a factory, line expansion is no longer a problem. Also an urgent purchase, another batch of new machines entered the factory. Under the temptation of double wages, the workers at the "Master Yang" food factory were arranged to work overtime overnight to adjust equipment and put in lines. Within a week, they not only successfully completed the million-pack plan, but also exceeded the quota by 10%.
Shanxi customers greatly appreciated it. They believed that Lao Feng's company had a good reputation and could be considered a big deal. They happily bought all the 1.1 million bags of products and placed another order of 1.5 million bags with the same requirements. Completed within a week.
Of course, Lao Feng also kept an eye on it. He arranged for the secret sentry to keep an eye on Shanxi passengers until they loaded the goods on the train to the pass. Only then did he believe that he had really found a good partner and secretly rejoiced.
After several transactions, the food factory got back some funds. While chatting with guests from Shanxi, I learned that they not only took root in Shanxi, but also expanded their business to neighboring provinces such as Shaanxi and Hubei. Because of the stable customer base of Shanxi customers, Feng Delin decisively decided to take precautions and expand production capacity in advance, so a new batch of machines entered the factory. With Benjin, Feng Delin's waist has become thicker and his confidence has strengthened. He is imagining that he will show his glory in Fengtian's financial field: Why can Zhang Zuolin be able to call the wind and rain in Fengtian? Aren’t there a few big names in the financial world backing it? I can do it too!
Huangtian paid off. When the Shanxi customer asked to buy a larger quantity of goods again, Feng Delin waved his hand: "No problem, I can easily produce eight million a month now!"
The visitor from Shanxi was very pleased, but still said euphemistically: "This time we have to go straight to Wuhan. According to our assessment, three million packages at a time is not a problem. We need to complete it within ten days."
Feng Delin readily agreed. "Master Yang" once achieved a record of one million packages a week. Now the production line has been expanded to twice that, and it can be completed in ten days, which is very confident.
The customer’s 10,000 yuan deposit has always been in circulation, so it always exists as a deposit. After several transactions, Shanxi Guest had no intention of taking it back, so Feng Delin naturally pretended to have forgotten it - there were still difficulties in cash flow, and an extra ten thousand would be an extra ten thousand.
Ten days later, 3.5 million packages were accumulated in "Master Yang's" warehouse. At noon that day, a passenger from Shanxi called: "The sales in Wuhan have been opened, but the train wagons are in short supply. I can't contact the wagons in my hurry. I kindly ask the commander to help reserve a freight train for the Beijing-Fengcheng line for use. In addition, production must be maintained during this period, Shaanxi The supply is also very tight.”
The sales of goods were so good that even the carriages were in short supply, which made Feng Delin as excited as if he had eaten Tang Monk meat. Stimulated by this trend, the "Master Yang" food factory fully carried forward the spirit of "not afraid of tiredness and not afraid of hardship" and worked overtime day and night with a daily production capacity of nearly 340,000 to 50,000 yuan. Looking at the finished product like a small mountain, Feng Delin often stroked his beard with pride: "Ten thousand is three hundred yuan, one hundred is thirty thousand yuan, four million is 120,000 yuan"
He requested the requisition of a train in the name of the Assistant Military Affairs Officer of the Fengtian Governor's Office, regardless of whether it would interfere with the busy Beijing-Fengtian Line. The Beijing-Fenghuang Railway Bureau did not dare not listen, but still reported the matter to Zhang Zuolin. Originally, the railway bureau was worried that Zhang Shuai would not agree and the two commanders would fight. The people below would be the unlucky ones. Who would have thought that Zhang Zuolin would put the matter on the agenda with a stroke of his pen: "According to the rules!"
The so-called "acting according to the rules" is Zhang Hanqing's strong medicine against many high-ranking military and political officials in Fengtian who use railways to traffic in private goods. The railway is owned by the state, so private services are not allowed, but they have to pay. There are many large and small passenger and freight railways in Fengtian Province. Due to the variety of "investors", the interests are often not evenly distributed. For this reason, the Fengtian Railway and Transportation Committee has been specially established to uniformly manage railway matters within the province.
Although Feng Delin is a military affairs assistant, since he is not doing official business, he naturally has to handle private matters privately. Adhering to this concept, Railway Bureau personnel replied to Feng Delin: "To book a train, you need to pay the fee in advance and inform the schedule three days in advance."
Damn it, when did I ever get angry like this? You have to pay in advance to use the car! I think back then I could use the Beijing-Fengxian Line whenever I wanted, without having to report or apply to anyone. Ever since Zhang Zuolin became the military governor, this rule has become more and more strict day by day.There are too many, and the power in their hands is getting smaller and smaller.
The Finance and Economics Committee, the Transportation Committee, the Land Reform Committee, the Bank of China, and the Financial Services Department are becoming further and further away from the center of power, and some personnel arrangements have gradually excluded themselves. It won't take long for Fengtian to have only one commander, whose surname is Zhang instead of Feng.
Zhang Hanqing, who had a bad mother, married a rich wife and let Zhang Zuolin control the military, political and financial power. When I finish these business deals, I won’t cause any trouble for you! With a depressed mood, Feng Delin arranged to pay the freight requisition fee of 10,000 yuan overnight. The guest from Shanxi is not here, so I will hand it over first. Anyway, the money comes out of the payment.
After everything was ready, another three days passed. Just when Feng Delin was a little anxious, a caller from Shanxi called: "I have been in Beijing to discuss the military purchase of instant noodles with Secretary-General Xu Zheng. This matter has great potential. If it goes well, it will be no less than building a new factory."
Secretary-General Xu is also Xu Shuzheng. He is Secretary-General Duan Qirui’s number one confidant and has served in the army for a long time. If instant noodles can be included in military purchases, it will be equivalent to giving Feng Delin's food factory a long-term meal ticket, with annual consumption of tens of millions or tens of millions of packages. Furthermore, it is a double joy to have the opportunity to meet the hot-tempered Xu Shuzheng. Even with the current meager profits from the license, it is not a dream to pay back the capital within one year. Moreover, instant noodles are indeed a good thing for marching and fighting. Otherwise, how could Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang, order so many "unifications" with one stroke of his pen. There is a way to do this.
Feng Delin waited with longing for another two days, and then received another telegram: "It's ready. Please send Feng Shuai the samples to Beijing Station as soon as possible. I have arranged for someone to greet them. If the samples match, we will sign a contract and the first batch will be It should be more than 10 million packages."
This joy is no small matter! Feng Delin couldn't wait to arrange a batch of instant noodles, personally supervised the packaging, and arranged for a group of close associates to be escorted to Beijing. Before leaving, he gave special instructions: "Tell me the news as soon as you arrive in Beijing." Two days.
On the third day, a call came from Beijing: "I'm very happy. Secretary-General Xu is very satisfied and will place an order soon. It only needs the approval of the Prime Minister." Duan Qirui always obeyed Xu Shuzheng's words and never rejected them. This is a "secret" known to both China and foreign countries. As long as Secretary-General Xu agrees, the big thing is done.

However, after seven days of back and forth, the factory's inventory increased by more than 2.4 million packages, which added up to nearly 6 million.
In total, Feng Delin can be said to have created a miracle in domestic management circles at this time. With a monthly production capacity of eight million, he managed to achieve an output increase of more than ten percent. If Lao Feng had not been in the military and joined the professional manager industry, there is no guarantee that he would not have become a figure like Zhang Ruimin in the Republic of China.
However, Lao Feng soon lost his joy.
Because he could not bear the pressure, he had already repaid the loan of 500,000 yuan from the Border Bank. His reputation was important.
I managed to survive for half a month and calculated the detailed accounts. Due to the excessive inventory backlog, the intense production during this half month cost 60,000 yuan in raw material consumption alone, 200,000 yuan in purchasing machinery, and 200,000 yuan in factory construction inventory. The dispatch, together with food for oil, gas, coal and electricity personnel and other miscellaneous items, cost no less than tens of thousands of yuan. Fortunately, it's not the end of the month, so the workers' salaries don't have to be paid yet. Otherwise, Lao Feng really can't afford the overtime pay these days.
Beizhen was a good place in the early Qing Dynasty, but by this time, it had fallen far behind big cities such as Fengtian, Liaoyang, and Dalian. Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing strangled Feng Delin in civil affairs and economy. They could never afford such a big business just by misappropriating the pitiful military pay and squeezing money from the poor people. Later, a series of investments still benefited from Duan Zhigui's remaining money.
Even so, Lao Feng has used up the last copper plate he has. If he can't sell it anymore, he will have to use his military pay!
Fortunately, there are major benefits within the customs. Feng Delin estimated the time: since Shanxi Ke has the ability to find Xu Shuzheng, he naturally has some connections. The signing of the contract is just a process, and there should be news within a day. At that time, the gloom will be swept away and wealth will come rolling in.
As expected, in the morning of the next day, a guest from Shanxi called: "By order of Secretary-General Jun, I am asking Feng Shuai to transport the first batch of six million packages of goods to the capital. The payment will be directly allocated by the Ministry of Finance and will be cashed at that time."
Feng Delin, like Feng Lunyin, immediately arranged for the truck to be loaded, and arranged for his eldest son Feng Yong to personally escort the truck there and bring back the payment for the goods. As long as this round is over, it will be much easier to get familiar with the road later. Considering that there are still millions of orders from Shanxi customers, the hard work of more than half a month and the few extra gray hairs are worth it.
It’s time to prepare orders for Shanxi customers. Although their prices are much lower, they are now unable to open up sales in Guan Nei, so this group of people still needs it. Wait until "Master Yang" opens up the situation, then try to leave them alone and go it alone. Isn't the boy named Zhang just a solo business? I heard in Guan Nei that his unit price is 5 cents per pack, with a net profit of 2 cents per pack! Otherwise, where would this kid have the confidence to compete with him on price?
"One or two days later, Feng Yong still hasn't come back. According to the distance, it takes two days to go back and forth. Even if you hand over the goods and pay for them, it won't take more than a day? It must have been a lot of eating and drinking after the business was done. Feng Yong is a kind-hearted kid who rarely sees the world. He won't be led astray by these people, right?
On the third day, there was still no trace. Feng Delin was a little anxious: Feng Yong, boy, don't you know how anxious you are? For such a big man, don't you know how to give me a letter?
On the fourth day, Lao Feng woke up feeling uneasy. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. There was no news from the first group of his cronies and the second group's eldest son, so that shouldn't be the case. He sent three telegrams to guests from Shanxi, but there was no news. It wasn't until the early morning of the fifth day that Feng Yong and his cronies rushed back with haggard faces. When they entered the door, they cried loudly: "Father, we have been fooled!"
Feng Delin's head buzzed. He had experienced the storm and asked sharply: "What's going on?"
After driving all the way, Feng Yong had organized the language in his mind, and he explained the whole story clearly in a few words.
It turns out that these Shanxi customers are indeed from Shanxi, but they are not dealers, but a group of scammers hired by someone unknown. They first showed off their wealth and wealth, and sure enough they got Feng Delin's attention. Then they used several "rules" transactions to defraud Lao Feng's trust. Taking advantage of Lao Feng's eagerness to expand production and his credulity in the central officials, he used the banner of "Xu Shuzheng" to bluff people.
Feng Delin's early confidant did meet some very noble people, but after all, dog meat was not on the stage. He neither had the opportunity to meet the legendary Secretary-General Xu, nor was he "qualified" to talk to Secretary-General Xu. From the mouth of the family head, Knowing the value of "Secretary-General Xu", I could only passively laugh along with him. In this way, "Secretary-General Xu" arranged for someone to have a meal with him, which was enough to make him tremble with gratitude. Why would he want to be cross-examined? After staying alone, a guest from Shanxi came overHe told him, "Secretary-General Xu is very satisfied, and now all we need is the Prime Minister's signature." The matter involved high-level officials, and this confidant was not qualified to provide any verification. He could only paraphrase the exact words, but Feng Delin believed it to be true.
Afterwards, Feng Yong pledged the goods, and he was also picked up by a car from Shanxi. He was accompanied by an arrogant employee of the Ministry of Finance, surnamed Hu. Of course, when receiving goods, you have to measure them. The workers count them, and they chat first. When Feng Yong followed his father's wishes and hesitantly tried to settle the payment, the clerk surnamed Hu laughed so hard that Feng Yong, who was just starting out in the business world, did not dare to say anything. At that time, the clerk said this: "Do you think that the Ministry of Finance, in charge of finance, will hand over goods to you and hand over cash to you? You can tell that he is a bumpkin at first glance. We are an agency of the central government, and agencies have their own rules for doing things. There is a certain process! Check the goods first today, and I will give you a batch of approval slips. Take this batch of slips to the branch office for settlement tomorrow. As soon as possible, you can withdraw money from the accounting office the day after tomorrow. Of course, large amounts of money are not allowed It will be given in cash, but will be transferred to your Finance Department office in Fengtian North Town, and you can only pick it up at the place."
This deception, coupled with the Shanxi guest's deliberately teasing performance, made Feng Yongxin believe it was true. Hearing what he said was clear and logical, the process seemed clear and smooth, and some of the methods were reasonable, so I acquiesced to what he said. Of course, Feng Yong was still a little clever. He arranged for someone to keep an eye on the goods before returning to a warehouse with the name "Army Coordinating Office Logistics Bureau" on it.
But the next day, when Feng Yong took the approval slip to the branch office, he was kicked out by the people inside. If Feng Yong hadn't been so kind, they would have thought it was a lunatic: "Bringing an incomprehensible note to the branch to settle accounts? I thought it was because of Qiu Feng!"
No matter how stupid Feng Yong was, he knew something was wrong. He quickly went to the warehouse, only to be told that it was just an abandoned warehouse that had been temporarily rented a few days ago. Looking inside again, there was nothing. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

The guests from Shanxi also disappeared, which made Feng Yong not know what to do, so he went to the police station to report the case under the guidance of others. Since the matter involved Xu Shuzheng, Secretary-General of the State Council and other important officials, the Beijing Police Department and others were alerted. By the time the police asked the police in detail about the incident, it was already a cold night. Moreover, the conclusion given by the police was "fraud", which made Feng Yong feel cold to the end.
It is difficult to transport such a large amount of instant noodles out of Beijing overnight. Anyway, Feng Yong sent his men to railway and highway hubs to find out information, but it turned out that there was no record of large-scale transportation of such goods. There are no "Master Yang" instant noodles for sale in Beijing.
On the fourth day, Feng Yong, who had learned nothing, thought of telling his father and hurriedly returned to Beizhen by car. However, he did not expect that the telegram would come faster than him. As expected, concern leads to chaos.
Feng Delin quickly woke up from the shock. After thinking for a moment, he came up with some ideas. Seeing the sad look on his son's face, he was only seventeen years old after all, and he was already depressed after a single blow, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. But who on earth wants to do this with me? Feng Delin's brain was running rapidly, and he didn't think about how to deal with the aftermath for the time being. Since there is no one in Beijing, there is no need to think about it anymore. This item must have been in the soup - instant noodles, they always need to be soaked in the soup to taste good.
"It is understandable that Shanxi customers could seize my eagerness to expand sales and defraud me, but their timing was too coincidental."
"Before this, in order to gain my trust, they bought a large amount of goods for several weeks. They did not go in or out of the customs, which is strange. So where did the goods go?"
“If we resell goods, the brand name ‘Yi Tong’ is much louder than ‘Master Yang’. At the same price, why are they targeting us instead of reselling ‘Yi Tong’ which is easier to sell and more profitable? It's a problem in itself. "
“Knowing that Xu Shuzheng and I are not familiar with each other, and daring to openly deceive my son with a fake person, he must know everything about my situation.”
"In addition to defrauding goods, you also asked me to expand production. You only defrauded me of 6 million and you still want me to buy more machines. Is this a plan to defeat me from the root?"
Thinking of these, the answer is readily apparent. Thinking of what Zhang Hanqing has been doing recently in the provincial capital to "separate government and enterprise", it stands to reason that ordering a carriage by oneself is obviously not in line with Lao Zhang's principle of "the government not interfering with business operations", but instead he happily gave the green light. . If something goes wrong, it will be a monster. Lao Zhang wants to see his own joke!
It must be the Zhang family!
“Only they have the motivation and the strength to defeat themselves. Only Lao Zhang has the ability to monopolize the sales of "Master Yang" instant noodles in Fengtian; to embezzle his own goods in Beijing, he probably mixed them with "Yi Tong" instant noodles and sold them, otherwise it would be difficult to explain that no one knows about such a large amount of goods. destination. The flavors of "Master Yang" and "Yi Tong" are similar. The packaging is just a piece of oil paper with a few words printed on it. If you throw them into the warehouse of "Yi Tong", you won't get any bubbles. As we all know, "unification" is a hot seller in Beijing.
That must be it. Starting from that Deputy Chief Engineer He, to the Shubian Bank where the capital chain was cut off, and now to the Shanxi Guest, there is only one purpose: to defeat "Master Yang" and create a blockage for himself!
Most of this is true. From beginning to end, it was indeed a scam designed by Zhang Hanqing.
He took advantage of Feng Delin's jealous eagerness to successfully increase his production in a short period of time, and then gave him a heavy blow in the sales process. At first, I just wanted him to accumulate inventory, and then buy his goods at a low price when the two parties cut prices, and then switch to sales within the customs to make a small profit from it. Although it seems that the selling price of Fengtian has been lowered, because there is still a huge market in Guanhai, and "Master Yang" provides help in times of need, it basically has little impact on profits.
As for the colonial bank matter, it was indeed not his original intention, but just taking advantage of the opportunity. He estimated that after a period of time, "Master Yang" would not be able to sustain it. At this time, the status of "Unification" in Fengtian could basically be established.
But it was different for Feng Delin. He was not willing to quit. Instead, he tried his best to fight to the death. This was the plan to destroy him and then severely damage his vitality. It’s true that the guests from Shanxi are from Shanxi, but all the designs were created by Zhang Hanqing. In the end, the deceived goods were indeed as Feng Delin thought, with the logos removed and sold in Beijing.
This time, 6 million packages were defrauded out of thin air, which is a huge sum of 300,000 yuan, which completely offset the losses in Fengtian in the previous stage. The key is that after this battle, "Master Yang" became the laughingstock of Fengtian City, and his factory was no longer in business. It couldn't bear such trouble and fell into a state of complete suspension of production.
Yes, production is discontinued.
After excluding the 6 million packages that were defrauded, there are still a few days leftMore than one million packages of noodles produced overtime are still lying quietly in the warehouse. Since the market sales have been directly taken over by "Shanxi Ke" some time ago, the sales channel of "Master Yang" has not been effectively established. Now it is really difficult for him to sell such a large number of products in a hurry.
And even if these products are successfully monetized, it will not be enough to cover the losses of these days. 6 million bags, the cost is over 100,000 yuan! Workers have to be paid, equipment needs maintenance even if it is not in use, and it will still take a lot of work to recruit people once they are gone. When he thought of this, Feng Delin's heart was bleeding.
"My surname is Zhang, I'm not done with you!"
When the commander is troubled, the younger brothers will naturally go to comfort him. Ji Jinchun's awe for this superior who has been with him for many years has also changed over time. He can't think of any words to express his feelings. He only feels that as a soldier, Feng Delin's behavior is a bit unreliable. He treats Feng Delin Said: "Commander, the water in industry is too deep. We lead troops to fight and eat royal food, so don't waste time on these things. Since the 27th Division had a bad relationship, the 28th Division has not carried out any military operations for a long time. It’s formal training. I think it’s right to sell the factory now, tidy up the inventory, and if there is still some left, focus on the army.”
The eldest son Feng Yong also said: "My father and Governor Zhang are both ministers in the same palace. Politically, it's just that we disagree with his ideas and have mutual resentment. Xueliang is indeed a good player economically. We are not as skilled as others, so we can just do our best." Just manage our one-third of an acre of land. Poaching Governor Zhang's corner will be a life-and-death situation once it is leaked. Please be careful, father!"
But another brigade commander, Zhang Haipeng, felt that the time had come to express his loyalty. He said to Feng Delin: "Commander, Zhang Zuolin has stabilized Fengtian's civil affairs and finance. Now he has many capable people around him. Let's do it." But he. But his foundation is the 27th Division. If we can make him rebel internally, we may not have the chance to weaken his strength from the root. "
What Feng Delin likes to hear most now is this. He looked at his proud men and asked in a deep voice: "Haipeng, what can you do? I will never let you go until you get this out!" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 230 Household guaranteed production

Zhang Haipeng was still prepared. He mysteriously leaned into Feng Delin's ear and said softly: "Commander, Zhang Zuolin trusted his son and allowed him to do whatever he wanted in Fengtian. Many senior officials in the Fengtian department couldn't stand it. And what kind of reform in Fengtian did he do?" and land reform have hurt the interests of many people, especially Brigadier Tang Yulin, who has opposed it openly and covertly. As long as we win over him secretly, we are not afraid that this guy will not rebel. When the time comes for the 27th Division to have internal strife, I think Zhang Da How handsome ends up!"
Feng Delin immediately said: "Go and take care of this right away. If you need money, talk to me. Damn it, I'm going to cause some trouble for Zhang!" Now he hates both Zhang and Zhang to the extreme. As long as there is a chance, , he will never let go of the possibility of attacking them.
"Well, it doesn't matter that Lao Zhang has the right time, place, people and people. Why is that guy Xiao Zhang so capable and everything goes so smoothly?
At this time, there was still a year before the Soviet Union launched the "October Revolution". As for the socialist collective farm model that the Soviet Union later influenced in Eastern Europe and China, it was still only the inspiration of some pioneers. Zhang Hanqing had already created a century. After successfully completing his first step, the land reform has achieved fruitful results. It is time to move towards the second step, which is called "household production quota".
Taking this step is also justified: the land reform carried out by the Zhang family and his sons, especially Zhang Hanqing in Xinmin, allowed poor people to get land. However, whether farmers can manage their land well requires not only the guidance of the government, but also their inner sense of ownership and wisdom.
Since feudal society, the phenomenon of land annexation has been carried out in every dynasty and every generation. Although society as a whole can achieve "equal distribution" of land after every dynasty change or peasant uprising, the differentiation between landlords and poor people will still occur after a few years. Of course there are policy issues here, but honestly speaking, it is an indisputable fact that landlords have more "brain" in managing land than the poor.
Since entering the era of industrialization, landless farmers have been a manifestation of social progress because they can go to cities to work. Especially later, the urbanization ratio became one of the indicators to measure whether a country is developed.
But that’s not possible in current China.
Not in the Northeast.
"Fengtian cannot do it."
Neither can Xinmin.
First, the degree of industrialization is very low. There are currently no factories that can accommodate a large number of workers. For the vast majority of the labor force, farming is still the first choice.
Second, historical experience has proven that managing rural areas, supporting agriculture, and stabilizing farmers is still a very arduous task. As a pilot project, Xinmin County has only achieved breakthroughs but has not yet achieved establishment. It is relatively easy to divide the land by administrative means, but the top priority is to let Fengtian's upper class see the farmers' enthusiasm for farming. In this matter, "household production guarantee" is an effective method that has been proven in practice.
Worried that the farmers who had been hit by a pie in the sky would not cherish their wealth and end up selling their land to beg or become hired laborers in the future, Zhang Hanqing explicitly prohibited the sale of farmland in the law and declared that all land belongs to the government. Belong to the collective. Farmers only have the right to use the land and have no ownership rights.
As important think tanks of the Zhang family and his son, Liu Shangqing, Mo Dehui and others have very strong concerns about the reforms of Prince Zhang Hanqing and have also given many suggestions. Regarding the development situation of China's rural areas after the "New People's Land Reform", many people only stay in paper and ideal. Even Liu Shangqing and other people in the financial circles who do not have communist ideas believe that when private financial resources are still insufficient, the state is more powerful than private individuals in guiding the development of industry. This is why he agrees and appreciates Zhang Hanqing's establishment of the Investment Promotion Bureau, And this is one of the reasons that drives investment from all parties.
According to this development sequence, and by analogy, their view is: since landless farmers rely on the government to obtain land, nationalization may better promote the development of agriculture. So, should we establish something similar to agricultural collectivization?
Zhang Hanqing said "no" promptly.
At this stage, the quality of farmers is far worse than the enthusiasm of people in the "Communist" era. The bad habits of farmers formed over the years are particularly obvious in China. "Eating from the big pot" has been proven to be unworkable. Zhang Hanqing’s original intention was not entirely to feed farmers, and charity cannot change the current situation of China’s weakness. His purpose was to earn considerable remuneration through land as a basis for stimulating industry. Therefore, taking money from it, rather than giving money, is the most important purpose at this stage.
Just a "New People's Land Reform" is enough to make Fengtian restless. For this reason, the people of the New People's Republic can have enough to eat and reach the simplest primary stage of people's livelihood in the "Three Pans Cooking Righteousness" described by Sun Yat-sen. This is already awesome in this era. Yes, there is no need to play big tricks on this, Zhang ?Your Majesty, there are still many things to do.
We must know from the information from the Administrative Office of the Land Reform Commission that Xinmin County has about 1.05 million acres of cultivated land. Simply based on the ratio of one out of ten, and based on a harvest of 200 pounds per acre of land per season, the government alone can get two Tens of millions of kilograms of grain, considering that there is only one season every year, there are 14 million kilograms of pure grain based on 70% fineness. What's more, there are some higher tax rates that are more than 1 in 10.
Historically, before 1920, rice cost an average of 6 yuan per stone. Calculated at 178 jin/stone, it equals 3.4 cents/jin. Taking into account regional differences and year differences, it is more reasonable to calculate it at 4 cents/jin. Converted into silver dollars, that’s an income equivalent to 960,000 oceans! According to the estimated autumn grain harvest results in Xinmin County, if every county in Fengtian followed this approach, Zhang Zuolin would probably wake up laughing in his sleep, right?
According to Marx's formulation in "Das Kapital": Capitalism at this stage is far from reaching the time of decay or even destruction declared in "Das Kapital". Not only that, how many years of agricultural collectives will China have to go through in post-historical socialism? After the reform, we will again realize the disadvantages of doing so, and then return to the policy of household quotas that is suitable for China's national conditions. In this case, why take detours? Why not use the more advanced "household contract system" that has been proven to stimulate farmers' enthusiasm for farming?
The policy of "household production quota" is the only way Zhang Hanqing knows to mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers: Just imagine at the beginning of reform and opening up, the support of farmers in China for this policy and the huge enthusiasm for the land generated, with the second liberation It’s no exaggeration to describe it.
In fact, the benefits of doing so are huge: on the one hand, farmers' enthusiasm for production is fully aroused, and productivity is greatly liberated, which not only ensures that the country but also private households have a large surplus - the more you pay, the more you will benefit; After the majority of farmers have a surplus of grain, the government can provide appropriate business guidance, and the economy can be fully active and have the opportunity to promote the development of trade, which will benefit both the country and the people.
In order to dispel farmers' doubts about the policy changes, the Xinmin District Government issued a land order to inform the entire county that the land contract period for "household guaranteed production" is 20 years, and the original contractor will enjoy the land contract after the expiration of the contract. Priority in contracting.
It’s really unimaginable how much unused creativity there is in China’s vast rural areas!
The farmers’ passion, which had been suppressed for two thousand years, was completely vented in the Xinmin area. One year later, in September 1917, after paying off the first year's land acquisition interest, the Xinmin area achieved a 30% increase in government revenue compared with the same period last year, and at the same time, grain output increased by more than 50%. This is partly because farmers responded to the need for more reward with more work and invested huge enthusiasm in their own land; the other half was also because a lot of hidden land was cleared, resulting in an increase in both tax revenue and output.
"There is more food in hand and no panic in mind." The farmers who could finally take a breath after the harvest expressed their support for this policy and their gratitude to the government, as well as the experience of the New People's Land Reform, which impressed the doubtful Fengjun senior officials, especially Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuoxiang, Guo Songling and others were greatly shocked. The farmers sincerely support the land reform system, and thus have an indescribable feeling of worship for our County Magistrate Xiao Zhang - this is an extraordinary and young hero sent down from heaven!
It was him who saved the people from fire and water and made them live a good life.
It was him who gave this good life a chance to continue.
Even when Zhang Hanqing left Xinmin and took up a higher position, the people of Xinmin unanimously gave him the gift of "taking off his boots". This is the best praise that ancient people gave to upright officials who benefited the country during their term of office. In addition, there are countless "Wanmin Umbrellas" that have been collected, but this is a story later.
What’s even more rare is that the banditry that has troubled governments at all levels in western Liaoning for many years has basically disappeared in the area!
Because even the bandits know that the people of Xinmin love the government and they have no place to live here; the garrison of Xinmin is the famous Guard Brigade, and they are very good at suppressing bandits. The Babuzabu bandit army, which was showing its teeth and claws not long ago, failed to win over even with the support of the Japanese. The remaining more than a thousand bandit soldiers who were alive were working on a voluntary basis under the supervision of the Guard Brigade to build water conservancy bridges and roads, and they were in full swing. scene, looking forward to them joining. Under such circumstances, no bandit would want to stay away as long as his head was not slapped.
Enlightened officials from all over the country who came here to listen to the experience of the new people also asked the Fengtian Provincial Government to promote this method to other places. Therefore, when Zhang Hanqing proposed to implement the experience of "New Civilian Land Reform" and "Household Production Responsibility" throughout Fengtian, he received unanimous approval from the top officials of the Fengtian clique, and the Northeast New Deal, guided by agricultural progress, first kicked off in Fengtian Province.
As a support for the pioneer and helmsman Zhang Hanqing, with the support of Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Hanqing became the chairman of the "Fengtian Provincial Land Reform Committee"; as the tide rises, all boats are lifted, and Guo Songling and Wang Yizhe, who had greatly assisted Zhang Hanqing, were promoted to deputy Chairman; and Women's Movement Director Han Shuxiu became part-time Secretary-General. Taking this as a sign, the men of the Young Marshal Clan began to take center stage on the political stage of the Feng Clan. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Han Shuxiu, director of the women's movement, became a part-time secretary-general.

Chapter 231 A plan for the industrial system

Zhang Hanqing sometimes laments that he is born to be busy and cannot stop for a moment.
In the past, it was easy to be a hostage in Beijing, but I spent all day thinking about how to find opportunities in crises; later, I was in the martial arts hall and the Guards Brigade, working hard on both sides; then it was bandit suppression, land reform, land reclamation, and making money, every one of them. You need to work hard to do it. Now that everything was finally on track, he had new ideas on his desk.
Because of the successful suppression of bandits, the Guards Brigade has gotten rid of the nickname "Student Army" and has truly become an army that can stand on the stage. Coupled with the fact that the officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade are integrated and sincerely care for the soldiers, this reputation makes it very popular among the young people of Fengtian age. After the war, it not only quickly replenished the casualties, but also produced nearly 2,000 more recruits.
?According to the thinking of many people, the soldiers really cannot afford to support them. The Beiyang Army has expanded from the original 6 towns to 18 divisions. Each province has less than one division. It's not that the country doesn't want to build it, but it just can't afford it. Not talking about the purchase of equipment, just raising a division in peacetime requires 1.3 million yuan. Zhang Hanqing had really squandered all his wealth for the Guard Brigade, and he wished he had pawned his pants. Everyone knows that the military expenses in the past few months have been sold off the young marshal's wife's dowry.
The Guard Brigade has also engaged in a lot of side jobs, but most of them are slow and not urgent, and it will be a long time before the real fruits are picked. Therefore, when deciding whether to stay or leave these people, not only Han Linchun, but also Guo Songling and Wang Yizhe suggested recruiting new recruits later, although they all eagerly wanted to strengthen the Guards Brigade. But Zhang Hanqing still kept everyone because he had his own reasons.
In troubled times, what are the tools for wielding power? It's the army! In Fengtian, what is the way to drastically improve your status? The answer is to raise troops! Encouraged by the victory and reputation of the Guards Brigade, these "volunteers" who came here to join the army were better than those who passively served as soldiers. Of course, they were all treasures. It would be a huge waste if we just abandon them like this.
Isn’t it just money? Brother has plenty of money! This is not nonsense. Zhang Hanqing has been really wealthy in recent days. Mi Chunlin, the Guards Brigade's moneybags and munitions minister, can testify.
Doesn’t Mi Chunlin serve as the director of Fengtian Land Resources and Development Bureau? Why did he become Minister of Munitions again? Speaking of which, it seems that Zhang Hanqing is superior. At the beginning, I knew that with the prosperity of Fengtian's industry and commerce, land, as a scarce resource, would sooner or later show its power. Therefore, he recommended Mi Chunlin.
Let’s not talk about whether Mi Chunlin has given benefits to the Guard Brigade overtly or covertly. His success in legalizing the 250,000 acres of wasteland reclaimed by the Guard Brigade is a huge wealth. Some of these lands were actually reclaimed, some were confiscated by powerful people, and some were obtained from unknown sources. In short, the total number is 250,000 acres, which is just a lot more. In addition to 50,000 acres of land for breeding farms and some farming, the other 200,000 acres were later sold at good prices. In addition to the loan from Daosheng Bank, Lao Zhang later gave Xiao Zhang 1 million. In this way, Zhang Hanqing became a nouveau riche!
"When I had no money, I could just keep holding on to the Guard Brigade. Now that I have money, I don't have to ask what I should do." With an order, the 4th New Corps was established, and the engineers and baggage troops were expanded into regiments. Now, except for the artillery and cavalry, which are organized at the battalion level, the Guards Brigade is already a full division-level organization!
Seeing that the young marshal had money, Han Linchun, Guo Songling and others began to act dishonestly again. They encouraged Zhang Hanqing to buy some artillery. After all, the army's combat effectiveness is reflected in its artillery. Since it is already being questioned, it has to be thoroughly established without stopping. As for cavalry, the most indispensable thing in the Northeast is horses!
Zhang Hanqing actually wanted to do this, but in the end he wisely refused. It is true that you have money now, but every money must be spent wisely. A country's armed forces cannot live by buying and selling. The sign of true strength is the ability to build the weapons it needs. According to memory, there have been no major wars in the Northeast in the past few years, so the limited money should be used for industrial and agricultural development that can continuously provide blood for future national strength, rather than seeking quick success and instant benefits and chasing superficial strength.
He spent 500,000 yuan on the deep processing of Benxi iron ore. Originally, the largest iron ore in Northeast China only had the ability to process rough steel. As for steel for military use, such as steel for bullets and artillery shells, it could not produce it.
Zhang Hanqing invested a huge amount of money in the name of the Guard Brigade and managed to buy machinery and equipment, thus gradually accumulating a certain amount of technology. The most important thing is that because of this investment, the Guard Brigade Military Supplies Department can legitimately "supervise" the production and sales of Benxi Iron Mine. You must know that since it is a factory and mine that is related to the rise and fall of national defense and industrial power, the Japanese cannot be indifferent to its expansion. Zhang Hanqing asked the military to intervene in the company, which also made a solemn statement to all parties: I am protecting this company!
Extensive raw material production alone cannot vigorously promote industrial progress. If you want to make a breakthrough in industry, you must first?You must have a competitive product. In a word, it is a project that can not only produce practical things, but also accumulate experience for technological progress. Zhang Hanqing decided to launch a bicycle manufacturing company based on the actual situation in Northeast China. After all, buying a machine tool is a sensitive matter, but if it is used to produce civilian items, it will be a little more covert.
Bicycles are a good starting point: they are useful for turning, milling, planing, and grinding, and bearings, rubber, and tires are all available. Technically, it is not particularly complicated; similarly, technically, it can fully achieve the accumulation of experience. Once the time is right, it can completely switch from bicycle processing to other things: if it can process the cross beam, it can make a gun barrel, if it can make bicycle tires, it can make car tires
In fact, what Zhang Hanqing cares most about is cultivating technical workers and management talents. They say what is most important in the 21st century? Talent! In fact, in the twentieth century, talents are more important! Whether a country can rise and whether industry can progress depends on just a few decades!
He knows that the cultivation of talents cannot be achieved overnight, and he fully believes that it is definitely not a dream to lead the Fengtian system to a higher stage with his own advantages in time travel, but can the country win these hard-won fifteen years (sorry) , he always keeps September 18th in mind and always alerts himself for the arrival of this day), and his strong sense of mission is to let the country catch up with the gap with the great powers as soon as possible. For this reason, seize the day.
At this time, although China was weaker than the West in terms of overall industrial strength, the West did not pull China down too far in terms of technical capabilities and corporate management levels. It was about two years later that the "scientific management movement" represented by Taylor appeared in the United States. There was a professional division of labor and specialized managers in factories; the statistical quality of Shewhart, Dodge, and Romig at Bell Labs The founder of management and statistical process control theory did create scientific and effective quality management techniques and methods in the 1930s. However, due to the capitalist economic crisis, only 10 companies adopted his methods, and it was not until 1940 that a full-time quality inspection department was established. , which laid the foundation for the take-off of American industry after the war.
As a middle-level cadre in a factory a hundred years later, Zhang Hanqing has come to this time and place, and these commonplace theories and experiences are readily available to him. Although it is not advisable to directly apply the mature experience of later generations across several generations of development, some effective methods still need to be used in advance, such as industrial engineering, quality inspection, assembly lines, etc.
In view of the current situation that the vast majority of the people are illiterate and rely on oral transmission of skills from masters to apprentices, Zhang Hanqing believes that the division of labor system is the best way to solve this problem. You don’t need to know much knowledge, nor do you need to be familiar with all the bicycle manufacturing processes, as long as you are good at one thing, one thing, and one point. In this way, you can get started quickly, your proficiency can be easily improved, and your output and quality will naturally be much higher.
A few smart people are enough. There are many knowledgeable and educated people in the student army, so it is not difficult to find some people to take the lead. After instilling some basic modern business management concepts, especially the concept of division of labor and cooperation, Zhang Hanqing worked with them to divide the bicycle factory into six major workshops. Each workshop specializes in the production of one or a few parts, and is finally assembled by one. The workshop completes the production of finished products.
In this era, material life is extremely limited and products do not need to have a gorgeous appearance; everything is for practicality. Like a bicycle, it is mainly composed of a few extremely simple parts such as a frame, wheels, bearings, chains, cushions, etc., and has almost no technical content in later generations. But in this era, in Zhang Hanqing's later words, it was too much effort.
For example, a bicycle frame seems simple, but it requires countless supporting companies: to build a bicycle frame, you first need a steel pipe factory, and then you need a steel mill;
In addition to the rim and beam, the most important thing about the wheel is the inner and outer tires, which need to be matched by a rubber factory;
The processing of bearings is more complicated and involves a lot of equipment: cold rolling machines, various grinders, annealing furnaces, quenching lines, lathes, milling machines one move affects the whole body.
But Zhang Hanqing still tried his best to add one piece after another. Some equipment may be idle for a long time due to production capacity, which is very uneconomical. However, because it is necessary and there is no strong supply and demand market, he still has to bite the bullet and buy it The most important thing is There were not many literate people, let alone the coordination talents that he felt were lacking. Although he brazenly believed that if he engaged in business management, he would definitely be a genius and the founder of various management theories, this was not his ambition.
Sometimes he also wonders whether it is a bit fanciful to use his own efforts to transform Fengtian, Northeast China and even the whole of China. He can only be regarded as the deputy brigade commander and acting brigade commander of the Republic of China with a quasi-army division. At this time, which one is the right answer: should he use limited funds to expand his own power or to carry out industrial and commercial layout in advance? Wouldn't you like to make wedding clothes for others? But later he figured it out: the development of industry has its own laws, and a solid foundation must be laid. Accumulation is the right way. It is his long-cherished wish to win early opportunities for the country and the nation to join the ranks of world powers. Gradually building an industrial development system is an important part of this long-cherished wish. As long as there is an opportunity, he will spare no effort.
So the investment in the bicycle factory seems huge, but compared with the 12 other factories that support it, its cost is not worth mentioning. This made Zhang Hanqing's finances, which had already improved greatly, even more tight than before. Fortunately, after the Fengtian Farmers Credit Cooperative opened, it was no problem for Xiao Zhang to use money for emergencies.

Chapter 232 Justice is in the hearts of the people
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Although there is still a hint of heat in Fengtian in early autumn, the ripe cinnamon fruits are like a scene before a good harvest.
An uninvited guest walked gently out of Fengtian Station. This is a thin middle-aged man, no more than thirty-one or twenty years old, wearing a pair of unobtrusive robes. At first glance, he looks like an ordinary businessman. Judging from the way he looked around here, he must have never been here before.
????????????????????????????????????????????] As for what it was, he waited for a while before he realized: in a station with such a large passenger flow, there are not many more rickshaw pullers than in Tangshan! This was his first impression of the depression outside the customs.
Finally, a young coachman came over. He immediately greeted him and said, "How to get to the Marshal's Mansion?"
Zhang Zuolin’s Marshal’s Mansion is a landmark building in Fengtian. As everyone in Fengtian knows, it is an important military center in Fengtian, where hundreds of civil and military officials always gather. The coachman looked at him like a businessman, but far more calm than ordinary businessmen; he looked like an official, but lacked the wealth and nobility of ordinary officials. There are a lot of people coming to Shuai Mansion for business, which is not surprising, but not many come directly from the station.
The driver greeted the man attentively, and he got into the car, but told him not to walk in a hurry and to chat with him first. Of course, the coachman responded to the guests' requests. After all, they paid generously. "It seems like another one came here because of his reputation," the coachman made a random guess in his mind.
?????In recent times, more and more guests are traveling north from Beijing and Tianjin to Fengtian. Investors, people looking for a living, and so on. Who makes Fengtian full of vitality and business opportunities?
Although Zhang Hanqing is from Xinmin, his economic policies to attract investment and revitalize industry and commerce are being implemented in an increasingly high-profile manner with the support of a group of people headed by Wang Yongmin. Thanks to the separation of military and political affairs from the military and police, Fengjun's senior officials, who were originally able to restrain these policies, were unable to counterattack, but unexpectedly made Fengtian the most dazzling star in China's economy.
There are mines, people, policies and land. The key is that the planning is advanced, the government is responsible and the administrative atmosphere is not bad. It is really a good place to build factories and enterprises. Since Fushun Coal Mine and Benxi Iron Mine started to make profits rapidly, the capital tycoons who followed the trend quickly caught up and threw money in large amounts in order to obtain huge returns from the Manchu Dragon Veins. As a result, there are vibrant scenes everywhere outside the pass.
Everyone has work to do, opportunities are everywhere, life is completely different, and even the mental outlook is completely new. All of this is inseparable from the contribution of one person. Fengtian people have long affectionately called him "Young Marshal" Zhang Hanqing.
"Is this gentleman going to the Marshal's Mansion for business?" the coachman asked casually.
"No, I've always heard that Fengtian has great weather. I came here because of its reputation. I want to do some business here. If the environment is good, it's possible to do it for a long time. I don't have anything to do today, so I'm just going to hang out." The middle-aged man Said very casually, with a very easy-going tone.
"It's a good idea to come to Fengtian. It's better to do business in Fengtian." The driver seemed to have had some experience, and he casually posted an advertisement: "There are so many opportunities now, and all walks of life are emerging. As long as you have hands and feet and are willing to work hard, your life will not be any different!"
The middle-aged man nodded in agreement and said, "Of course, if you work hard, you won't starve to death."
Unexpectedly, the coachman shook his head and said: "It is definitely true now, but it was not necessarily true in the past. My father used to work as a long-term laborer for the landlords. After a hard day's work, he could only provide half food for the family. My six-year-old brother is I was hungry and sick and never grew up. I have been pulling carts for several years and my family's life has not improved, but it has only gotten better in the past few months. There are more people coming and going from Fengtian, and my business has improved," he said sincerely. : "This is all thanks to the young marshal. Elderly people say that he is a literary star from the sky who has come down to earth. He has done many great things and came up with so many ideas, which has led to the improvement of all walks of life."
When the coachman was full of praise for Zhang Hanqing, it was obvious that this man was more interested in Zhang Hanqing. He almost immediately entered the topic when talking about him: "It seems that you recognize this young marshal very much!"
"It's more than just recognition! This young marshal is a figure that has never been seen outside the country for a hundred years! He can turn fossils into gold and let the gentlemen in the capital spread money from thousands of miles away. No one has been able to do this before. From my ancestors, Fengtian has been It is the first choice for those who are fleeing from the desert in Guan, but I have never heard of wealthy people coming to Gada to make any investment! But people are still convinced!
The key is that the young marshal is amazing, and there is nothing he likes that is not profitable. Supposedly, if there is such a good thing, who wouldn’t want to get involved? If it were before, the factories and mines could be eaten up just by sharing! But the young marshal's sharp eyesight and discernment invited Wang Minyuan from Jinzhou to escort Fengtian. Who dares to do anything wrong? andMoreover, the Young Marshal also said, "Whoever gets into trouble with the company or the Young Marshal is a sinner in Fengtian!" ’ I understand what he means. Eggs are delicious, but you can’t eat them with the hens. This is because you want Fengtian to always have eggs to eat. Sir, tell me, he has such a high level of knowledge at the age of sixteen, what is this if not a real dragon? "
The middle-aged man smiled and asked: "I heard that he maintains the Guard Brigade himself and does not pay a penny from the government. Is it true or false?"
The coachman was talking enthusiastically: "Of course it's true! Speaking of which, the young marshal is also very courageous. He said he didn't want the government's money, so he really didn't want it. The guards travel to farm and support themselves. This has not happened in a hundred years. What! I have experienced the revolutions of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Which army can survive without drinking the blood of the common people? But this young marshal did it——when the Guard Brigade was stationed in the provincial capital, no soldier ever harassed the common people. No matter how old an officer is, he always pays the full amount when buying things, and he does so in a friendly manner!"
The middle-aged man shook his head in disbelief and said, "I believe you say that the Guards Brigade has good military discipline, but I don't believe it if it doesn't use government money. I am the governor and governor of the province, so who knows about giving money in private?"
The coachman was unhappy: "Is this a lie? Marshal Feng from Guangning sent people day and night to keep an eye on the money on the books. If he and Marshal Zhang don't deal with it, will they let go? But the people sent changed one after another. It was not discovered that the young marshal was using government money. In the end, even Marshal Feng became discouraged and took the initiative to withdraw the supervisor."
The middle-aged man became interested: "Could it be that Dashuai Zhang used his personal money to advance the payment? It is said that Dashuai Zhang has thousands of hectares of fertile land and countless shops"
The coachman spat: "They are just maggots! When it comes to the commander-in-chief, I am not bragging, everyone in Fengtian will give a thumbs up! He is the biggest official in Fengtian, and his three meals a day are only steamed buns, Rice porridge is like pickles; his army discipline is also very good. Not long ago, his brother-in-law used a gun to hit the light bulbs of the street lamps, but he personally ordered him to be shot!
The Marshal is really good to foreign investors. He knows that they are the God of Wealth for the people of Fengtian, so he provides them with various conveniences. Director Wang Yongjiang of the Police Department and Director Mo Dehuimo of the China Investment Bureau all report directly to him. . He said that he would not let investors walk around without eating, taking, holding, or asking for anything! When the commander-in-chief or the young commander-in-chief speaks, people with some ideas become more disciplined.
Thanks to the commander-in-chief, people in Fengtian now have many ways to survive. You see, workers like me outside the station used to have to wait in line to get no customers, but now it’s better. The income from working in the factory is much higher than that from pulling carts, and it’s more respectable! To tell you the truth, if my home was not far from North Street, I would also like to work in a factory and make a lot of money! "
At the intersection not far away, there was a policeman on the tower maintaining traffic order. He was holding a baton and gesticulating to a man leading a donkey cart. The donkey cart was loaded with bags of something unknown, and it looked heavy like grain. It had to stop to avoid the crowds and vendors on both sides. But when they started again, they ran into another carriage coming diagonally. The owner of the car hurriedly led the donkey and tried to pass by, but he couldn't pass through the dense crowd easily, so he encountered some small obstructions.
Seeing that the traffic was blocked, the police hurriedly blew their whistles as a reminder, and at the same time used their batons to signal the vehicles on both sides to stop so that the donkey cart blocking the road could leave. But it must have been the first time for the donkey owner to see a new thing called a baton. Seeing the policeman blowing a whistle and waving a baton at him, he might have been frightened and did not react for a while.
The police saw this scene. To the surprise of the middle-aged man, he calmly came down from the tower and personally helped the car owner clear a path. Maybe it was because of the traffic that was affecting traffic, but he actually helped push the car to the other side of the street without bothering to step on the donkey excrement with his shiny leather shoes, thereby losing his status as an official!
This is unbelievable in other places. This scene broke the middle-aged man's cognition. Looking at the crowds of people on both sides and the prosperous scene, confirming the coachman's words, he nodded secretly.
The coachman was not surprised. He said to the middle-aged man: "Since Wang Caishen became the head of the police, the police now are much more polite to the people than before. In the past, when the people saw the police and soldiers, they were like hiding from the plague." Not to mention, since the young marshal invited Wang Yongjiang, the police have been completely different; since the formation of the Guard Brigade, the soldiers in Fengtian have also been different. In the young marshal's words, soldiers are to protect the home and the country. The police serve the people. They come from the people and spend people's money. If they are not good to the people, why do the people support them?
Influenced by the young marshal, the marshal once assured Wang Yongjiang that no matter how tight Fengtian's finances were, there would be no delay in the payment to the police; Wang Yongjiang also issued a military order, saying that harmonious coexistence between the police and the people would be achieved within a year. For this matter, the young marshal personally submitted a banner to the Police Department saying, "If you have any difficulties, please contact the People's Police." This banner is still hanging at the gate of the Provincial Police Department. Since then, the atmosphere in Fengtian has gotten better and better. "
The middle-aged people were very happy to see that this was the first time they heard their sincere praise of officials from ordinary people. It seemed that the trip was well worth it. However, we cannot just listen to one side of the story. To truly understand the real situation, we need to go deep into the masses.

Chapter 233 A friend comes from afar
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Zuolin has many things to do every day. He usually starts working very early and ends very late. This is especially true after he became the governor and provincial governor. Because his bedroom and office are connected together, he truly makes his work his home.
Logically speaking, how can a small military governor be busier than the president and prime minister who have so many things to do every day? No matter how powerful he is, he only controls the strength of nearly two divisions and the administrative power of a province. Moreover, the tens of thousands of people in the Guard Brigade were under Zhang Hanqing's independent control, and Zhang Zuolin was generally not allowed to intervene in matters such as logistics, equipment, and training.
His family knew about his family affairs, and Zhang Zuolin was busy, but he was planning for his accumulation. Zhang Zuolin's ambitions can be seen from some of the stone carvings in the Commander's Mansion.
When he purchased the Zhang Family Courtyard, Zhang Zuolin, as the teacher, incorporated themes such as "eating from all countries", "holding the world", and "letting money from foreign countries" into the stone carvings on the walls. After the Zhang Family Courtyard officially became the Marshal's Mansion, instead of the usual lion and horse-centered creations, dragon decorations were used as a foil. Just imagine, it was like this back then. Now that the Fengtian family is the only one, how can we not have any ideas?
Just like Zhang Hanqing was preparing for a rainy day for his ambition, Zhang Zuolin was also worried about how to expand his stall. Xiaoliuzi took the lead in taking care of industry and commerce. Wang Yongjiang, Liu Shangqing, Yang Yuting and several of Xiaoliuzi's cronies such as Mo Dehui, Mi Chunlin and others took the lead, which solved a big problem for him. Xiaoliuzi and the others have a far-sighted view of leading troops in war and engaging in these so-called industrial, commercial and economic matters.
When the stall is big, it is inevitable that you will lose sight of one thing. The martial arts hall is a place to cultivate military talents. You have to grasp it personally. They are all disciples of the emperor; the arsenal is the basis for one's struggle for supremacy in this world. He can only step up the expansion of equipment and produce more powerful weapons; the one in Beizhen is also What was being done, and whether the people sent to keep an eye on it were optimistic; what new news came from the Beijing government, and he had to discuss with his staff how to deal with it All these things made him both tired and fulfilled.
At this time, he greatly admired Xiao Liuzi's superhuman vision: he disbanded the provincial secret agent team early and established the "Feng Intelligence Bureau". His eyes and ears were now deployed in Beijing and Tianjin, and lurked in the streets and alleys of Fengtian nearby. Not only were the sources of intelligence Real and fast, and also allows you to get first-hand information. Now the Feng Intelligence Bureau has become the largest reliance besides the 27th Division, even more reassuring than the barrel of a gun. At least, the 27th Division cannot detect the private actions of Fengtian military and political officials.
With Gao Jiyi as the director, he, the warlord, can slowly let go of less sensitive matters to his subordinates, but he has always been the first to ask about the intelligence of the Intelligence Bureau. However, this time, the intelligence given to him by the Intelligence Bureau made him laugh and laugh, even though it was given to him personally by Gao Jiyi, who had recently become the new director.
The reason was that the First Section of the Intelligence Bureau received a tip-off and captured a person of unknown origin. After investigation, it was found that this person had asked the coachman about the Marshal's house, asked the hawker about the Marshal's various deeds, and asked the hotel about various military and political figures in Fengtian. Due to the previous assassination of Zhang Zuolin, all information related to the Commander's Mansion has been regarded as important intelligence in the first lesson of the Feng Intelligence Bureau. This man named Ji Yiqiao was unfamiliar with Fengtian and did not do any business, but he tried every means to spy on intelligence. Of course, he would be interrogated intensively.
But this person insisted on talking to the young marshal and found a letter on his body, which was written by a person named Cai Songpo to Zhang Hanqing and recommended a person named Ji Yiqiao, so that Gao Jiyi did not know the truth and did not dare to be rude. . Since Zhang Hanqing usually came back one night a week, and the Intelligence Bureau's requirement was that important news should be reported to the old and young marshals at the same time, Gao Jiyi informed Zhang Hanqing on the phone and Zhang Zuolin at the same time.
Hearing that he had caught such a "spy", Zhang Zuolin read the letter, thought about it for a moment, then laughed loudly, and quickly said to Gao Jiyi: "This is unreasonable! Release him immediately and invite this person to see me!"
Gao Jiyi knew that this person must be someone, so he did not dare to neglect him at the moment, and personally accompanied the smiling face to release the person, and it turned out to be the middle-aged man. When they arrived at the Marshal's Mansion, Zhang Zuolin personally went out to greet him and said loudly: "Brother Jincheng did this so unethically. How could he have gone to Fengtian without seeing me as the master and went to find out the truth in private? Isn't this a slap in my face, Zhang Zuolin!" "
The middle-aged man named Jincheng smiled and said: "To each other, it is not authentic for you, Marshal Zhang, to treat guests like this!"
Zhang Zuolin laughed loudly and said, "My subordinates don't know how to do things. I misunderstood you. I'm here to accompany you!" Gao Jiyi, who was looking at Zuocheng in fear, said, "Do you know who he is? You dare to arrest him as a spy." ! Speaking of which, he has higher qualifications in the military circles of the Republic of China than I do, and he has made great contributions to the country. Even during the period of protecting the country, his contribution was not comparable to mine, so why don’t you apologize quickly!"
Rather than blaming someone, this man waved his hand and said, "Don't blame those who don't know. Yushuai's soldiers are really not simple. I only stayed here for a few days.", then plainclothes came to the door. I had long heard that Brother Yuting had done a great job in Fengtian, and Mr. Ji came to see it in person. As expected, the reputation was very good. "
Zhang Zuolin was a little proud, but his face was extremely humble: "Brother Jincheng is joking, I just did some good things for my father in heaven, and as a military and political official appointed by the country, I should serve my country."
Because of his instinct for spy work, Gao Jiyi couldn't help but secretly guess: Judging from the marshal's intimacy, this man named Ji Jincheng must be a figure, but why is he so unknown? And judging from the commander's reaction, he still cares about this person's evaluation, otherwise he wouldn't be so humble.
He was right, this Ji Jincheng was indeed a person.
Ji Yiqiao, courtesy name Jincheng, was from Hubei. He was a member of the League, participated in the Battle of Shanghai's Restoration during the Revolution of 1911, and served as the Chief of Staff of the Shanghai Army Vanguard. In the first year of the Republic of China, he served as the commander of the Fourth Brigade of the Second Division and was awarded the rank of Army Major General. His military qualifications were comparable to Zhang Zuolin. Historically, He Yingqin served as the commander of the first battalion of the 8th Infantry Regiment under him.
But since then, he has been unsuccessful. During the National Defense Movement, he fought between Xu and Huai. Later, at the invitation of Yunnan Governors Tang Jiyao and Cai E, he successively served as brigade commander of the Yunnan Army and commander of the garrison in western Yunnan, and was in charge of the training of new recruits, which was very effective.
Everyone worked together to fight against Yuan, but after the enemy was removed, Yunnan was now in chaos. When Cai E left active service due to illness, his life in Yunnan became difficult. He was demoted from the leader of the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall to an instructor. However, according to official history, it would be many years before he joined the Fengxian Army.
Although Cai E was ill, he had been paying close attention to Zhang Hanqing's situation. He knew a lot about his many measures to recruit troops, buy horses, reform and march in Fengtian, so before going to Japan, he asked Ji Yiqiao to choose an opportunity to defect to Zhang Hanqing in Fengtian. Worried that Zhang Hanqing didn't know him well, he wrote a letter to help Ji in person and introduced him well: "Jincheng is a kind man, cautious in his conduct. He has many ingenious plans in battle and has been training troops in Yunnan for many years. He is extremely If you are successful, I can choose a position and use it."
Although Cai E was recuperating from illness, he often called to inquire about the military and political situation in Yunnan. Knowing that he was not doing well in Yunnan, he once again recommended him to go to Fengtian to find Zhang Hanqing. It would be fine if he was asked to defect to Zhang Zuolin. After all, Lao Zhang was considered a figure outside the customs at this time. However, Cai E solemnly recommended Zhang Hanqing, his nephew, to him, which is unclear.
With a hesitant attitude, he decided to try his luck. At worst, he could just go back to his hometown. He is a cautious person, so he naturally wants to find out first. On the train going north, he learned that Zhang Hanqing was just a sixteen-year-old young man, and he began to be disappointed. However, as his understanding deepened, he gradually became interested in this "minor" who had just grown up. Regardless of the various auras around him, Cai E's two solemn introductions alone must be seen for real no matter what.
It was the right time for Zhang Zuolin to recruit troops and hire people. Although he came from a rough background, he knew how to recruit talented people. After reading Cai E's letter, I knew that the person in front of me was the one who came to my door. How could I not feel happy? Although I had only heard of his name before but never met him. He was a straightforward person and did not hide anything. He said bluntly: "Don't say it was recommended by General Cai. Just because of the name of Brother Jincheng, I, Zhang Zuolin, can't even afford to hire him! Brother, this governor is the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The canonized ones cannot be moved, and Brother Jincheng can ask for any other official positions in the other 27 divisions. As long as you ask for it, I can ask people to move it out to make way for talents!"
He directly moved the world and replaced the flowers with flowers. Although it was recommended to his son, but he was cut off halfway and it was a disgrace for me to act like an old man. I’m sorry that Xiao Liuzi couldn’t say anything wrong?
To be honest, Zhang Zuolin’s sincerity is very confusing. But Gao Jiyi knew that at least the position of Division Commander Sun Liechen would not be given up in any case, the 53rd Brigade Commander Tang Yulin could not be moved at all, the 54th Brigade Commander Zhang Zuoxiang would not be reassigned not long after he took office, and the position of General Counselor Yang Yuting of the Warlord's Office was Don't think about it at all, it's the old commander's absolute wisdom.
For other positions, the positions at the regiment level are too low; and except for the deputy brigade commander and brigade deputy chief of staff in the Guards Brigade, the Beiyang Army does not have deputy positions at all levels.
The divisions and mixed brigades of the Beiyang Army evolved from the Zhenhe Mixed Association of the New Army in the late Qing Dynasty, and they are both independent units. When Yuan Shikai was in power, all senior officers at the brigade and brigade levels were his confidants. In order to maintain his absolute control over the Beiyang Army, there were no deputy positions at all levels. In this way, on the one hand, it can directly lead and purify the army; on the other hand, it can also make military orders easier to access and execute, and avoid the confusion and inconvenience caused by multiple commands. With such a precedent, officers at the division and brigade levels directly appoint their confidants to serve as commanders at the regiment and battalion levels to facilitate their command and leadership.
Therefore, the 27th Division not only does not have deputy division commander, deputy brigade, but also deputy chief of staff and other official positions. In view of this, Gao Jiyi imagined that the commander-in-chief wanted to hire him as an officer in non-combat positions, such as in charge of military training, logistics or equipment. According to the eight major offices of the Military Governor's Office, this level is not too small, and sincerity cannot be called dishonest.
However, Ji Yiqiao was unmoved. He said a little apologetically: "Brother, I have faded away from military affairs. I came here this time just to be invited to chat about the mission. After meeting the young marshal, I will leave for Japan to look after General Cai. There are many talented people in my brother's office, but Ji is self-aware and does not dare to make false claims."

Chapter 234 Thirst for talents
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Just as he was about to doze off, someone handed him a pillow and received a call. You can imagine how happy Zhang Hanqing was.
He had some knowledge of Ji Yiqiao before. The reason was that before time travel, when he was looking through the family tree of the Republic of China, he pronounced his surname "zhe" as "ji". Then he looked at the introduction to him and said that he later met Zhang Xueliang became a good friend and a high-ranking official in the army, nothing more.
But this did not prevent him from rushing back from Xinmin to meet him. It was already evening when he arrived at the commander's residence. Let’s not talk about whether this person has any abilities. Just the fact that he was recommended by Cai E is enough. There is no doubt about General Cai’s face and vision—could the person recommended by General Cai be bad? Let's listen to Ji Yiqiao's previous experience in Yunnan: he has served as a brigade commander and trained new recruits. His qualifications are not inferior to Han Linchun's! The major general in the first year of the Republic of China was as good as Zhang Zuolin.
There is no doubt that the talent is there, and when I think of what I am about to do, ha, General Cai really has a good connection with me!
No one can understand what this sixteen-year-old young marshal is thinking, but every action he takes is brilliant. The Guard Brigade is on the right track. The new land reform and household responsibility system are proceeding in an orderly manner. Business has begun to receive funds. Zhang Hanqing's industrial revitalization plan is also progressing steadily. This gives him more time to consider higher-level issues. .
Revitalizing China is a huge project that requires uniting a large number of like-minded people and leading the entire Chinese people to move forward. Both are indispensable. Now the people around him are in charge of their own affairs, and they seem to be doing a prosperous job, but if there is no one working together to form a rope, he will have to take care of every stall and explain everything. Ten Zhang Hanqing It's not enough either.
So he has focused his main energy on the idea that has been conceived for a long time, which is to build the party. With the army in hand, a certain territory, and a certain economic foundation, it is definitely easier to establish this party than the Communist Party in history. At least they don't have to hide on a boat in Nanhu, Jiaxing.
But everything must be done with a happy ending. Before and after the founding of the Republic of China, various political parties sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Most of them followed the example of Europe and the United States, as if otherwise they would not be able to reflect China's culture. Needless to say, this is something only people who have studied abroad would do. However, despite the high-end and classy names, because most of them are the products of fashion, without thoughts and souls, and some are just passionate and utopian impulses, the quality can be imagined.
The most influential party in the Congress of the Republic of China is the Kuomintang. But in general, at this time, it is still relying on the Tongmenghui's capital and has little value to the country and the people. If it wants to become the most influential political party in official history, it will have to be after the success of the Northern Expedition. In other words, within this decade, its influence on domestic politics was minimal.
Now is the time when the gun counts - and that will always be the case.
From this, we can understand why Zhang Hanqing devoted a lot of effort to the Guard Brigade. For him, every officer and soldier of the Guard Brigade is the seed for completing the great cause of China's rejuvenation; every soldier can be a qualified squad leader and platoon leader, and every regiment leader will be a future leader. Brigade commander, division commander!
Under such strict requirements, the three army generals Han Linchun, Guo Songling, and Wang Yizhe were under tremendous pressure. They were basically either in the military camp or on the way to the military camp. Han Shuxiu once jokingly said to Zhang Hanqing: "Sometimes I realize that Lao Guo is not my husband. He should be with you."
There is no way, Han Linchun is responsible for assisting the construction of the brigade headquarters, Guo Songling is cultivating a large-scale staff group in accordance with his own requirements, and Wang Yizhe is spreading the two-level political department of the brigade and the company-level soldier committee throughout the brigade. easy. If there is no one who can control the military training work, where does the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers come from? Ji Yiqiao is here, hug him with both hands - don't let him run away!
Actually speaking, this is just Zhang Hanqing's unrequited love. Ji Yiqiao came to Fengtian with the idea of ??meeting and making envoys. Before that, he really didn't take Cai E's introduction to heart. He is young and promising, has lofty ambitions, and is popular among people. For Cai E to put money on the face of a young boy like this, it is certain that he has a good relationship. He was already disillusioned with the military, so he only planned to give Cai E an explanation, and then set off to Japan to find General Cai - a man who would rather change his heart than to lose his ambition to Qingyun, and was still willing to follow him when he was at his lowest ebb. Cai E's.
But what he saw after coming to Fengtian surprised him. This is not to say how prosperous Fengtian was. In fact, Fengtian City at this time was just outside the customs. But in terms of wealth and living standards, not only there was a considerable gap with Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai, but it was also inferior to his hometown of Hubei. After all, the Qing government had only a short time to open up Guandong, and wealth accumulation needed to be accumulated. Like Yu Fengzhi’s natal familyHe is said to be the richest man in Fengtian. He spent all his money to prepare a bank but could only scrape together 500,000 yuan. Although this is a big figure in Guanhai, it is not like this.
What is surprising is the mentality of Fengtian people and the vitality they experience from it. In the past few days, everywhere we looked was in ruins and all walks of life were full of vitality. Zhang and his son had successfully revitalized the entire Fengtian industry and commerce. The people's praise of the Zhang family, especially the admiration of the young marshal Zhang Hanqing, gave him a strong idea of ??meeting him. Unfortunately, just before he was about to go directly to Xinmin, he was "caught".
Speaking of which, Gao Jiyi had to apologize to Ji Yiqiao once again in front of Zhang Hanqing.
Zhang Hanqing did not want to dampen the enthusiasm of the Feng Intelligence Bureau. He smiled heartily and said: "As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. Although it is an own incident, it shows that the work of the Feng Intelligence Bureau is still in place. Of course, I hope that the more things like this, the better." Well, after all, not every time you arrest someone, you can meet a big shot like Jincheng, uh, brother. Haha!"
Originally, based on Ji Yiqiao’s qualifications and background with Cai E, he could be considered a peer of Zhang Zuolin. It was feasible for him to be Zhang Hanqing’s uncle at the age of 30. But Zhang Hanqing didn't want to lose his seniority for nothing. Some titles would be more embarrassing if he blurted it out and tried to change it back, so he used a more Jianghu-style brother title.
Ji Yiqiao doesn’t care. Although Zhang Hanqing is young, he has already become the commander of a brigade. Although he is deputy or acting, General Cai still calls him "brother" in his recommendation letter. How can he be embarrassed to call himself uncle?
Zhang Hanqing already knew the ins and outs of the matter, and General Cai's letters had been quickly browsed. He said happily: "Brother Jincheng, since he has Cai Shishu's letters, he should have come to me earlier. To be honest, the Guard Brigade We are in urgent need of generals now. With the ability to become a brother with strength, even being a brigade commander is more than enough. I heard you were coming, but you rushed back without even having dinner!"
It seems that like father, like son, this is what Zhang Zuolin said, and Zhang Hanqing also behaved the same way. It's just that Zhang Zuolin was polite, but Zhang Hanqing sincerely wanted to keep him. Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. As long as they follow their own people, it really doesn't matter whether the brigade commander does it or not. Zhang Hanqing is more open-minded about this than Zhang Zuolin.
"Shortly after Zhang Zuolin was appointed as the superintendent a few months ago, he resigned from the position of commander of the 27th Division after he and Feng Delin officially broke up. This move was contrary to traditional perceptions and was extremely surprising. You must know that the governors and division commanders of the Republic of China were in charge of their duties throughout the whole period. Even during the ten years of warlord struggle for hegemony, all the governors also served as division commanders. There are originally few troops in each province, and the governor who cannot control the troops will step down sooner or later.
But Zhang Zuolin resolutely resigned and became his full-time supervisor, and soon changed his name to military governor. First, there are some changes in time and space. The Guard Brigade under his command has grown to a large size, with the ability and scale to keep pace with the 27th Division. It is inappropriate for the division commander to have such a large Guard Brigade. Secondly, it also disgusts Feng Delin, reminding him to always remember: I am the governor who manages all the armies in Fengtian, instead of being the division commander who is on equal footing with him in the past. As the commander of the 28th Division, Feng Delin should be under the command of the governor!
Of course, he was not purely vindictive. He was succeeded by a die-hard Sun Liechen, who was no different from his own teacher. In this way, he gained a good reputation for not being authoritarian. And only when he is away from the front line of the army can he have time to manage Fengtian politically and economically.
Now, Zhang Hanqing wants to imitate his father again. However, unlike Zhang Zuolin who had a higher-ranking military governor, Zhang Hanqing only had the position of senior counselor of the Fengtian Military Governor's Office. If he really handed over the deputy brigade commander, Xiao Zhangke would become the bare commander. Fortunately, when a hero goes to Liangshan, he also pays attention to first-come, first-served. I don't expect Ji Yiqiao to regard being polite as a blessing. He still has this intelligence.
Ji Yiqiao considered it and said: "Thank you, Marshal, for your favor. It's just that I have lost heart in the military and just want to go east to Japan to inquire about General Cai's condition. This time I came here because of General Cai's feelings and I had to make this trip. But it's raining." The big news that the Marshal and the Young Marshal made in Fengtian shocked me a lot. I heard that the Marshal's subordinates Han, Guo, and the throne chiefs were all outstanding figures at the time. One more of me is not more, and one less of me is not less. , Ji accepted the young marshal’s kindness.”
His words were half true and half false: half true, it was because he was not living a satisfactory life in Yunnan. As an outsider, he was rejected by the local military officers. If it were not for Cai E's protection, he would have been unable to stay. Even though he is very capable, he has many constraints in the Yunnan Army, which is upsetting to think about. Although the Fengxi system appears to be promising, if the same local people take root, there is a risk of repeating the same mistakes. Moreover, I had just rejected Marshal Zhang. If I had agreed to Marshal Zhang casually, I’m afraid Lao Zhang’s face would not look good, right?
Since Zhang Hanqing has decided to keep people, he will not give up easily. He made a joke to Ji Yiqiao, but it made people feel more cordial: "Brother Jincheng, all the thirty-five students sent by Governor Zhao Erxun to study in Japan returned to Fengtian except you. You are the only one." People from other provinces, who enjoy Fengtian’s public funds, should do something for Fengtian.”
This is the relationship between Ji Yiqiao and Fengtian. If they can dig it out so quickly, the Fengqiao Bureau still has some ideas. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??

Chapter 235 Director of Military Training

Before he could answer, the young marshal who was much younger than him smiled and said: "But it's not too late now, just come. I have great faith in Cai Shishu's vision, and I fell in love with Brother Jincheng at first sight." He had mentioned this matter in a telegram before, and now he finally met him in person——Brother Jincheng is younger than I thought——but young is good, young and enterprising, we two young people will make a name for ourselves together Come!"
Ji Yiqiao was just moved by Zhang Hanqing’s words, but was amused by the following words. She wonders what it feels like to be called young by someone younger than herself. This is! However, Cai E said that his calm and measured character allowed him to quickly correct his position: "I have wasted many years and achieved nothing. I was praised by General Songpo, and I feel ashamed."
Zhang Hanqing got straight to the point: "Brother Jincheng, there is no need to be modest. Your name is even my father, and I admire you very much. You may know something about the situation here. My father really wants to drag you over, but I still want you to help me." . But brother, your reputation is too great. I'm afraid that you won't be able to retain the young guard in the Guard Brigade. I know that brother served as a major general and brigade commander a few years ago. Ordinarily, it would be unfair to let you be this brigade commander, but I'm afraid. I just want to make others unhappy, so I sit on the crater of the volcano."
Zhang Hanqing was so sincere that Ji Yiqiao felt ashamed. Of course he knew how hot this position was, so he hurriedly gave in: "Young Marshal, please don't say that. In fact, General Songpo also sent me a telegram before coming here. He said What the young marshal currently lacks the most is the military literacy of the officers and soldiers, and I have to do my best to support it. I have been in Fengtian for a few days, and I have heard with my own ears the people's praise of the Guard Brigade, and I have also seen with my own eyes the vitality of some officers and soldiers. Young Marshal It is extraordinary to have the courage to lead such an eye-catching army. I am also looking forward to working under the command of the young marshal. How can I pick the fat and the thin? But it is enough to be a small soldier in the account! "
"Kind words should not be taken seriously. Zhang Hanqing knows very well the principle of not trusting people when you employ them and not trusting people when you don't use them. Most capable people in this era are quite proud. If you want to truly retain talents, you must give them a stage to perform and give them high courtesy. With Ji Yiqiao's seniority, it would always feel inappropriate if he was placed below the Guardsmen such as Lu Han, Guo, and Wang, even if he didn't mind. Therefore, the conditions given by Zhang Zuolin are still tempting. In the eight major divisions of the Military Governor's Office, any director may not have the same authority as a brigade commander, but at least he has a good reputation.
But Zhang Hanqing was reluctant to part with it. Although the meat was still rotten in the pot, he could still drink the soup with a spoon. But at present, Ji Yiqiao's stay in the Guard Brigade is much more useful than the Eighth Army. At least the Guard Brigade can be put on track.
"How dare you let your brother be the brigade commander? How dare you waste your resources? My brother has been very effective in training the Yunnan Army. I would like to ask my brother to temporarily serve as the training director of the Guard Brigade. Don't worry, brother. You can do whatever you want. , I will not interfere. My title of young marshal is to protect you. I just have an idea, these student soldiers are my treasures. In the future, when the army has the opportunity to expand, they are all officer seeds, so I They have high expectations for them, and naturally their requirements are higher than those of other troops. Now that the army has Wang Yizhe as civil servant, Wu's ability depends entirely on his brother."
"Don't be too conceding. After much thought, only the name "Director" can be used to bluff people. It's just a title anyway.
While Ji Yiqiao was still figuring out what the position of the training director would be, Zhang Hanqing wanted to share his little secret with him again: "In addition, I secretly established a special operations brigade, all of whom are elites in the military. , I also want to entrust my brother to take charge of it - I will introduce this unit to you when I have time. This special operations brigade was carefully established by me, and it will be of great use in the future, but now it needs to be done in a low-key manner, so I can only work hard for you for a while - apart from Han, Guo, Wang and me, the fifth person who knows this army is my brother."
What conditions are needed to gain the affection and trust of others? Just share the shameful things with him! I don’t know if this works, but Zhang Hanqing did it anyway, and Ji Yiqiao was as happy as he expected. Perhaps, the secrets Zhang Hanqing shared with him made him feel trust, and Zhang Hanqing's expectations for him made him feel the long-lost passion.
What are the ways to retain talents? Generous treatment, attention and sense of ceremony. Needless to say, treatment and attitude, Zhang Hanqing has already put the best position he can in front of Ji Yiqiao. For a soldier, nothing is more exciting than displaying one's abilities in the military. Anyway, under Zhang Hanqing's fierce offensive, Ji Yiqiao readily agreed and succumbed to the military training director, the fifth-in-command of the Guard Brigade.
This surprised Zhang Zuolin. Instead of being the director of military training of the Military Governor's Office, he became the training director of a brigade. What the hell! But Zhang Hanqing just did it. This little boy has a way of winning people over!
Zhang Hanqing is not the kind of person who puts people first.Demonstrate the organization, discipline, planning and accuracy of the Guard Brigade.
I solemnly emphasize here: Any officer who cannot train troops is not qualified to lead troops in war! I have handed over the power of training and assessment to Director Ji. I hope everyone will cooperate with Director Ji to improve military training! "
The response was of course enthusiastic, and Ji Yiqiao also strongly felt the young marshal's support and trust in him. However, there was inevitably a funny scene at the scene: a young colonel acting as brigade commander commanded a group of colonel commanders and major general training directors. I don’t know if this happens elsewhere, but Zhang Hanqing did it anyway. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 236 Party Building
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The greatest benefit of the New People's Land Reform to Zhang Hanqing was that he cultivated a large number of political cadres who had taken root at the grassroots level from the beginning. After long-term training, these people basically became the seeds of propaganda for Zhang Hanqing's rural policies, and gradually spread to the entire Northeast. .
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Hanqing believed that his long-thought-out party-building plan could be implemented: after the suppression of bandits and land reform, he already had a relatively good foundation and influence in the military and political fields of Fengtian, and his military and political actions also cultivated a A large number of capable talents are both loyal and capable. These are their own foundation and are the force that can suddenly emerge in Fengtian. It's just that these people now regard themselves as the leader. Once they are transferred or have other affairs, they have to bet on the person taking over the job being of the same mind or thinking as them. But there are too few such people.
Only an organized group can exert far greater power than itself, and this sound organization will also proactively and automatically conduct self-examination and self-correction or make appropriate decisions, as long as its own influence is there, without having to personally attend to everything. .
This is the party.
We have already thought of a name, it’s called the Chinese People’s Party. It was born from the people and for the benefit of the people, concisely and clearly. In the future, political work in the world will be led by the party, both at home and abroad.
The party’s organizational principles have long had ready-made experience to follow: centralism, which is a system that has been proven in practice and has effective management. Just kidding, what the Chinese Communist Party has been playing for nearly a hundred years and is becoming more and more mature, how can it be bad?
The purpose of establishing this party at this time is, firstly, to manage and reorganize the underground organizations and party members of the Kuomintang in the Northeast, and secondly, to be the first to propose the recruitment of progressive intellectuals with communist tendencies - these intellectuals have unlimited energy. He is also the most far-sighted and influential talent in history, and is about to establish the Communist Party of China. Although Zhang Hanqing has witnessed countless corrupt officials in later generations, at the beginning of the founding of the Party, the Communist Party was still very attractive. Having pure ideals. If there is a dispute between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the future, how can he go on a killing spree like the Kuomintang later did? The only option is to strangle it in the cradle first. In addition, party and group politics are a trend of international development, allowing the forces in the Northeast to openly intervene in the government of the Republic of China and lay the foundation for future control of the country.
In the "Articles of Founding of the Chinese People's Party", Zhang Hanqing proposed the establishment of a reformed Chinese Kuomintang - the People's Party, taking Mr. Sun Yat-sen's "San Pan Bo Yi" as the banner, through the progressive means of military government, political training, and constitutional government, with the workers With the stage as the main body and the alliance of workers and peasants as the basis, we can achieve the great goal of San Pan Bo Yi. Party branches are established in each administrative village, and Party committees at the same level are established in each township, county, prefecture, and province, and are under the highest leadership of the Central Committee of the Chinese People's Party.
Zhang Hanqing personally designed the party flag, which is a bright red five-star red flag. As for why five stars were chosen, Zhang Hanqing believes that there is a fable in the brocades of the Han Dynasty that "five stars come out of the east and benefit China", which seems to have shown the power of China, which is a good sign. As for its meaning, he explained that it can be understood as the unification of scholars, farmers, industry, and businessmen under the leadership of the People's Party to build a great country, or it can be interpreted as the four sides defending the Central Government; it can also be interpreted as Manchu, Mongolian, Hui, and Tibetan The five-ethnic republic of various ethnic groups and the Han nationality, etc.
Although the design of the sickle and hammer head is avant-garde, Zhang Hanqing is not interested in it. Secondly, communism is still in its infancy in China. Whether this time and space will have a chance to develop again is still a matter of 50 to 50. The most important thing is the intervention army. Now that you are fighting against the Red Army on various battlefields in Soviet Russia, if you create a Soviet Second, is it because you are afraid that the Japanese will not find a reason to interfere in Northeast China?
The party’s slogan is “Workers and peasants cooperate to strengthen China.”
The party’s program is to “establish a unified, strong, free and independent republic in which the people are the masters of the country, and expel all imperialist forces and privileges in China. Equalize land rights, have independent tariffs, punish corruption, and ensure judicial justice.”
This was a brand-new idea that integrated the slogans of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at that historical stage. In history, it also created the first wave of the Honeymoon and Banzi movements in which the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated. In reality, it attracted countless patriotic people. People with lofty ideals, those who yearned for the February Revolution, those who were dissatisfied with the factional forces of Beiyang and the Kuomintang, and loyal idealists rushed to the Northeast to personally participate in this historic initiative.
As the saying goes, the way of civil and military affairs is to relax; you can conquer the world immediately, but you cannot rule it immediately. Although Zhang Zuolin was illiterate, he knew the importance of scholars. Regarding the People's Party, which is mainly composed of young intellectuals, they mainly adopt a silent attitude and wait and see. He had no reluctance towards the young marshal's political "torsion". After all, the scholar's rebellion had not been completed for three years. Without military assistance, no one can rebel in the Northeast. Regarding his most anticipated eldest son, he was more happy than anyone else to see Zhang Hanqing rise to prominence in politics.
No one stands for such a big matter as the founding of the party.??, as well as about the People's Party's purpose, party constitution, policies, and principles, and encouraged everyone to forge ahead. In a sonorous tone, his powerful words convinced people that the party's future is bright and the road is tortuous, but victory must belong to everyone. Finally, Zhang Hanqing sang from the bottom of his heart: "Long live the great Chinese People's Party! Long live the great Republic of China! Long live the great Chinese people!"
His voice, like a trumpet blowing, stirred in the auditorium of the Guard Brigade, fell on the streets and alleys of Fengtian, and spread to every corner of China. The seedling of the People's Party statue can't help but feel the wind and rain, but as long as it is carefully cared for, it will grow into a towering tree one day.

Chapter 237 Political Rising Star
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
After carefully studying the organizational structure of the People's Party formulated by Zhang Hanqing, even Yang Yuting, who calls himself "Little Zhuge", was amazed. Without decades of experience in politics, it’s a good thing that a teenager like him could figure it out!
According to Zhang Hanqing's conception, the "People's Party Founding Declaration" has also determined that the People's Party Central Committee is the party's highest authority, and it begins to establish committees of party organizations at all levels from top to bottom. The upper-level committee determines the lower-level committees. candidate. Starting from the Central Committee, each level committee will establish a top party leader to serve as the convener and collectively handle major matters.
This is an epoch-making initiative. The history of China for thousands of years is a history of the struggle between imperial power and prime minister power. It is a process of constant friction, tug-of-war and improvement around the division of power between the egocentric emperor and the scholars who are determined to share the world with the imperial power. In order to prevent centralization of power, many British rulers in the past dynasties spared no effort to divide state power: the Qin Dynasty established the prime minister and set a precedent for the separation of prime ministerial power and imperial power. The Tang Dynasty perfected the system of three provinces and six ministries. China's political system reform has reached its peak.
But Zhang Hanqing was ingenious and pioneered the People's Party's power restriction system, which was later called "discipline centralism." It was an epoch-making progress and a genius design that was completely integrated with China's national conditions.
The so-called ban boiling means that in the future, the core of power of the party will be elected. Within the party, committee members at the same level, whether they are chairman (secretary) or committee members, will have a completely equal vote when deciding on major matters. The one with the most votes will Victory, this seems to have the same meaning as Western voting.
But Zhang Hanqing did not completely copy the Western style. In his view, China has long lacked the soil for democracy, and blindly moving closer to the West will inevitably end up like South Korea and Japan in later generations, and the parliament will become a show. In this big country with the world's largest population and feudalism that has dominated the country for thousands of years, letting go of the rules will turn the country into a mess. Why in history did it become a harbinger of local separatism once the central government was weak? Isn’t it the imperial complex deeply rooted in the minds of the Chinese people! Only a ghost will share power with you!
So the other side of dish boiling is concentration. The so-called concentration means the concentration of power: the party's power is concentrated in party committees at all levels, and the Central Committee elects the Presidium of the Central Committee. The final decision of the party committee/presidium is the party's decision. It is made before the decision is made, but it must be implemented to the letter after the decision. This is called free centralism.
The People’s Party will have a Central Committee, a Political Bureau of the Central Committee, a Standing Committee of the Central Committee and a secretariat directly responsible to it. Due to the small number of party members, the Politburo and the Standing Committee have not been established for the time being.
The reason why the Secretariat was established, Zhang Hanqing explained to the comrades in the party, was “to facilitate the Standing Committee of the Central Committee to concentrate on considering and deciding on major issues in domestic and foreign affairs, and at the same time to enable the party to conduct a large number of daily work in all aspects in a timely manner. be dealt with efficiently”. But Zhang Hanqing also has a deeper understanding of centralization: the channels through which the power of the various departments divided into the party can be gathered at any time.
Because in the organizational structure of the Party Central Committee, there are the Organization Department, Propaganda Department, and United Front Department of the Central Committee, plus a Discipline Inspection Commission. The disadvantage of detailed departmental planning is that it is difficult for Zhang Hanqing to have the energy to effectively control various departments, and the Secretariat is a very good way——nonsense, Mao Zedong has been doing this for more than 20 years, and the Secretariat is actually It has always been above the Politburo, but only later did it gradually become that the Politburo is the decision-making body and the Secretariat is the executive body.
Because it is an important channel and window connecting the Central Committee and the lower-level party affairs departments. Major matters must be discussed here, and the party’s decisions must be issued from here. It is like the ancient upper study room, which serves as a command center for communicating emotions from above to below, from below to above. In addition, it plays a very important role - cultivating and training senior party cadres.
The Central Secretariat implements a system of collective leadership and division of labor, with seven secretaries responsible for party building and cadres, organization, publicity, discipline, politics and law, the united front, and policy research. It will be the largest power body of the People's Party besides the Central Committee.
Secretary was the smallest official position at that time. Zhang Hanqing named it after him to show that the People's Party, which seeks the interests of the people, is not a bureaucracy that will dominate the people. It is also a commitment to the future and to the people.
According to the Party Constitution, the Party Chairman presides over the work of the Secretariat of the Central Committee.
The early People's Party was a bit like self-appreciation in the style of appointing officials and making wishes: Of course Zhang Hanqing himself was the unqualified candidate for the chairman of the Central Committee - as long as he has the consciousness to serve the people, he still has to fight for the power that should be fought for, and he has no power. How to serve the people? Han Linchun and Guo Songling are both vice-chairmen. Well, the current role of the Presidium is actually the Standing Committee, which has threeJust one person is enough. Few people make it easier to centralize power, and besides, others are really not qualified.
The seven members of the Secretariat are Zhang Hanqing, Han Linchun, Guo Songling, Wang Yizhe, Han Shuxiu, Zhu Guangmu, and Wu Jiaxiang. Wang Yizhe is a member of the Central Committee and also serves as the Minister of Organization. Han Shuxiu is a member of the Central Committee in charge of the women's movement. Zhu Guangmu was also very loyal as his secretary and had outstanding performance in the land reform propaganda work, so he should also serve as the Minister of Propaganda; Wu Jiaxiang is himself The current secretary and director of the Land Dispute Mediation and Judiciary Committee are logically the directors of the Central Office. Being a member of the Central Committee is not a big deal. By the way, he is also in charge of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
In addition to the above seven members, the Central Committee members also include Jiang Huanan, Gao Jiyi, and Ji Yiqiao.
Jiang Huanan is the chief of the bodyguards and Gao Jiyi is the person in charge of intelligence. They are natural members of the Central Committee. Not only should you use it, but you should also use it when you have the opportunity. Reserve a good position for your own people first. It is also a seniority in the party, right? As for Ji Yiqiao, Fengtian and people within the party are not yet familiar with him because he is new to the country. But when Zhang Hanqing solemnly introduced him as the special envoy of General Cai E, his selection immediately became popular. From this alone, you can know how wise Zhang Hanqing was in insisting on pulling Cai E out of the tiger's skin!
The People's Party has a resounding policy for the founding of the party: "Lead and unite the people of all ethnic groups in the country, regain lost ground, eliminate foreign aggression, build our country into an Asian power that includes modernization of industry, agriculture, transportation and national defense, and build a country without economic exploitation and politics." An oppressive New China of the people, for the people and by the people." At any time, "equal land and no grain" is extremely tempting. This kind of slogan similar to the "Great Harmony" society is basically present in every era of the Chinese revolution. , tried and tested.
Of course, the superiority of the system designed by the People’s Party is not only resounding in words, but also truly unique in the design of the organizational structure.
In order to combat corruption within the party, Zhang Hanqing believes that the control of this aspect by the political system of later generations is too poor. The reason why there are repeated cases of harbingers and successors is because the supervision of party members and cadres, especially top leaders, is too light. The top leaders, mainly the top leaders of the party, have too few restrictions and too much power, which artificially creates a soil for corruption. In one sentence, concentration is concentration, but power is mainly concentrated in the top leaders, and does not reflect the influence on other members of the Standing Committee - because the power design is congenitally beneficial to the top leaders. To truly realize the party's "centralization", it is necessary to enhance the power of other members of the Standing Committee without harming the core of the top leaders.
This sentence is absolutely correct to say, but how easy is it to do it? Because the top leader is given the right to lead, he has the inherent power to intervene, interfere or even veto the work of other members of the Standing Committee. Otherwise, how can he have authority? What about leadership? But without effective constraints, corruption among top leaders is inevitable.
In fact, there is a way, and that is the principle of equivalence of rights and responsibilities, which goes back to centralization. The Standing Committee must achieve division of labor. Each Standing Committee member has an extremely important weight in the field of responsibility and will of course bear the corresponding responsibilities.
As for party members and cadres who violate the law, all laws apply, not just the party's disciplinary regulations. There are situations where the party's power is greater than the law. Zhang Hanqing believes that party members are the vanguard of the workers and peasants and should take the lead. They should also understand and respect the law better than the general public. When violations occur, they should be dealt with in accordance with the law first, and then punished in accordance with the rules within the party. A two-pronged approach is the right approach. If political and legal personnel and the Disciplinary Inspection Commission engage in acts of cover-up, they will be charged with the same crime and given an additional first-class punishment.
The "People's Party Member Punishment Regulations" set out four levels of punishment: warning, demerit recording, party probation, and expulsion from the party. Any regulations that involve doing bad things with good intentions will be punished with a warning or a demerit according to the severity of the incident; if there are personal stories in the middle, they will be kept in the party for probation; if there are other violations of criminal laws, they will be expelled from the party. Demerits will not be promoted within two years, and Party probation will also last for two years. Afterwards, the party committee and the Discipline Inspection Commission will discuss whether to revoke it. If it can be revoked, the party membership will be retained, and the administrative level will be lowered by one level. If there are any violations of laws and disciplines during this period, the probation period will be extended for one year or expelled from the party, depending on the severity of the case. Anyone expelled from the party will cease public service, clear all administrative levels, and will not be allowed to join the party again.
At this stage, these ideas are only included in the draft document "The People's Party's Party Building, Army Building and Political Program" written by him, and they are only circulated among the top military and political leaders in Fengtian. Zhang Zuolin admired this very much, and Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen were quite supportive. The Zhang family and his son often talked in private, and both believed that this was a good way to control Fengtian and even the Northeast. In order to verify the effectiveness of this program, Zhang Hanqing, who was authorized, plans to conduct a pilot project of administrative management in Xinmin County, which has a solid foundation.
Mr. Sun Yat-sen, who was in his cozy home in Tokyo, heard about Zhang Hanqing's party founding declaration and said three "good" words in a row. He excitedly said to his wife Song Qingling beside him: "The ideal that I have been pursuing all my life, the hope of reorganizing the Kuomintang, and the opportunity for China to be strong. , all kinds of thoughts and troubles, when I saw Zhang Hanqing’s declaration of founding the party, I suddenly became cheerful. I was like a ship running in the waves in the dark night seeking to dock, and saw a bright lighthouse on the shore." He was even anxious. He couldn't wait to call Zhang Hanqing, "Wen wants to return to China to listen to the principles of saving the country and the people." Zhang Hanqing became famous for a while. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com), suddenly cheerful. I was like a ship rushing through the waves in the dark, seeking to dock, and saw a bright lighthouse on the shore. He even called Zhang Hanqing impatiently, "Wen wants to return to China to listen to the principles of saving the country and the people." "Zhang Hanqing became famous for a while.

In the Marshal's Mansion, Zhang Hanqing looked at the elegiac couplet he had worked so hard to write and felt embarrassed. It’s not that the writing is bad: you must know that our painting of the body of Xiao Zhang is a very good calligraphy; it’s not that the content is not good—the masterpiece that the madman Wang Xuehen of Hengzhou painstakingly wrote in the official history. Lian Zheng lay quietly on the table:
"Thousands of miles south of the sky, flying straight up, it will be a worry for the rest of my life, and the chance marriage will become a dream;
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of sorrow and is falling into decline is that she won a beautiful and close friend, and her peach blossom color lasts forever. "
This elegiac couplet was spread all over the world at that time, and it seemed that no one could compete with it. Zhang Hanqing copied another copy, not to compete with it by writing it himself, but to commit pure plagiarism. He is not afraid of itching when there are too many lice. He is already the first master, master, and master in copying public documents in history. Of course, he will not be embarrassed by these little things.
What made him embarrassed was the look from Yu Fengzhi next to him.
"Han Qing is so capable, and he has won a beautiful confidant! People are more like peach blossoms, and they don't think they are smarter than others. Why don't you compare yourself to Peony?" People who don't know may think it's a joke between husband and wife, because Yu Feng is so gentle. There was no trace of sourness in his voice. But Zhang Hanqing was flustered. He knew his own affairs, and his wife was here to investigate! Because the last sentence was immediately lethal: "If you have the ability to win a beauty, forget it, but what's the point of using my dowry to give to other women?!"
I didn't expect that I had done it so secretly, but it turned out to be a mistake. It seems that Yu Fengzhi's savvy is not a short-term improvement, and pregnancy has not lowered her IQ. Who said that one pregnancy is stupid for three years? This seems stupid. What does it look like?
The thing is like this. The affair between Xiao Fengxian and General Cai is well known in Beijing. Her appearance to pay tribute immediately brought back the memories of the public case last year among writers. Fortunately, the public opinion was mainly sympathetic, but all this It cannot reduce the suffering of the parties concerned even a little bit.
Red Peony feels the same way as Xiaofengxian. When Zhang Hanqing and Yu Fengzhi got married, she endured the sadness of "Only new people in the world laugh, who can hear the old people cry".
When they first came to Fengtian, Zhang Hanqing still had a passionate fight with her. After all, a long absence is better than a newlywed. But after Zhang Zuolin had a father-son conversation with him, especially after he decided to marry Yu Fengzhi, Zhang Hanqing gradually had to warm up in private. Afterwards, the suppression of bandits, the wedding, the installation of the Guard Brigade, and even the New People's Land Reform and the establishment of the Party were all one after another. I had no time and dared not go to her place.
She said she didn’t dare because Yu Fengzhi said she would tolerate a man’s flirting, but she would never tolerate him having physical “associations” with a prostitute. She felt dirty. In addition, as a newlywed, it feels much more upright to live with the wife who is married to a famous matchmaker. Moreover, this wife is not only knowledgeable, courteous, gentle and considerate, but can also be a great help in his career. The combination of multiple factors caused Zhang Hanqing to cut off relations with Red Peony for three months.
Later, after truly enjoying the pleasure that power brought to him, Zhang Hanqing's state of mind also changed a lot. Sisters Huang Wanqing and Huang Ruqing are both top-notch, and even the "Company Commander" is a serious person in the house. That's why Zhang Hanqing officially decided to get together with Hong Mudan and prepare to give her a sum of money as "severance pay" and let her do whatever she wants. host.
Of course, Hong Mudan knows that her status is no longer worthy of being associated with the young marshal in Fengtian City, but where can a woman go in this world? Fortunately, Han Shuxiu is working on the women's liberation movement, and he hopes that she can stay and help him. After all, the two have been together for a few months and have developed feelings for each other.
Zhang Hanqing paid tribute to Cai E. Who in Fengtian city didn’t know about such a big news? To be honest, Hong Mudan didn't feel anything about Cai E's death. It felt a bit like "relatives or lingering sorrows, others have also sung". After all, she was not familiar with it and could not expect her to have such a big awareness. But it's different for Xiao Fengxian. They are close friends and almost share the same fate - Xiao Fengxian lost her true love, and the person she loved also became a "living dead".
If we roll forward according to the wheel of history, Xiao Fengxian's life will undergo another big change. She had no choice but to marry another person. After her husband died, she became a poor girl. It was not until after liberation that her life improved slightly. However, she died of illness soon after. After completing her journey from prostitute, chivalrous girl to poor girl life.
Feeling sympathy for each other, Red Peony asked Zhang Hanqing to take care of Xiaofengxian. This was the first time she talked to Zhang Hanqing after three months. Who would have expected that Yu Fengzhi would actually know about this simple exchange. She wanted to say goodbye to Zhang Hanqing, and it just so happened that Zhang Hanqing wrote such an elegiac couplet, which was very suitable for the occasion.
"Zhang Hanqing was even more unjust than Dou E this time. Even though he had guarded his integrity like a jade, his innocence was stained. However??It cannot be said that he was unjust. He indeed stole a sum of money from "Neinu" and gave it to Red Peony as compensation for the "loss of youth". He was too poor to open the pot, so the source of the money naturally came from the remaining balance of Yu Fengzhi's dowry.
Although Yu Fengzhi could spend all his money to support Zhang Hanqing's major events, he could not tolerate his husband's betrayal. There is no excuse for using your wife's dowry to support another woman! I was holding back my anger, so everything I looked at was evidence of Zhang Hanqing's cheating.
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing also knew that she was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and was worried that she might have fetal motility - after all, this was his first child, so it was of great significance to prove that he still had certain abilities, but of course he couldn't express his anger. Not only that, he also had to keep smiling: "Honey, you misunderstood."
Being courteous for nothing, either committing adultery or stealing, made Yu Fengzhi confirm that there was something fishy about him. She held back her anger and said: "Han Qing, since I married into the Zhang family, what things have I not done by you? You are a man and you want to do big things. I have helped you with everything I can, and I have subsidized the dowry." You use military expenses, and I will go to my parents' house to shame myself and build a bank to get you money! Don't say that I don't know your main purpose of setting up a bank - you and I are one husband and wife, your business is my business, and I will take care of all these. I don’t blame you. But you use my money to raise a woman outside, which makes me feel sad!"
Yu Fengzhi became more and more excited as he spoke: "I heard that your father-in-law promised you that you can find women outside after you get married. We, the juniors, can't control what he does and say, but I married in right after the Marshal's Mansion was built. I can only have one new wife in this new house! I tell you, unless I die, I will never let a second new person come in! If you have money, just try your best to find a woman outside. But there is one thing , don’t use my money!”
Zhang Hanqing suddenly felt thousands of grass and mud horses galloping past. It’s over, my beauty dream! The most disappointing day since time travel has arrived. No matter from a moral or emotional point of view, this matter cannot be blamed on the wife for getting angry. No man would do such a thing if he feels a little ashamed. However, by doing this, I am not paving the way for our relationship to heat up!
"Honey, please calm down and listen to me first. I have never been to Red Peony since I got engaged with you, and I have decided not to associate with her in the future. I admit that I want to give her some money. After all, She and I are considered acquaintances, and I can't let her wander away! This time Uncle Cai Shishu's death made me think a lot. He was good in every way, but there was one bad thing: he failed to give Xiao Fengxian anything. Confession——I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart——Xiao Fengxian was affectionate and righteous to him, and even risked her life for him by acting to cover his escape. But what was the result? I heard that she even showed up at public sacrifices. In a hurry, lest Uncle Cai Shishu be gossiped about!
It is not easy for a weak woman to live in Beijing, and she is always under the aura of Cai Shishu. This double pressure is definitely something that others cannot feel. Red Peony is also kind and affectionate. She asked someone to find me to take care of the little fairy! I took a total of 2,000 oceans from your money, which was originally intended to be given to Red Peony, but she insisted that I send it to Xiaofengxian as living expenses. Uncle Cai Shishu always cared about me before and after his death. I can't let him be uneasy under Jiuquan!
As for this money, the dowry you sold for me, and your sacrifice for me, I will never forget this kindness. I swear that I will compensate you ten times or a hundred times in the future. But this time, you can't let me lose my dignity as a man! "
To be honest, he was still afraid that Yu Fengzhi would ask for the money back, because he had already sent a telegram to Xiao Fengxian to inform him of the matter. Although the money may not seem like much, when the finances are almost exhausted, even a penny will stump a heroic man!
Yu Fengzhi's heart was in turmoil, and she completely believed Zhang Hanqing's words. To be honest, in this era, she must and can accept that her husband will live a life of three wives and four concubines in the future, but she is just unwilling deep down in her heart. Frankly speaking, my little husband has behaved as a top-notch person - he has neither the dandy style that is common among officials' children, nor has he lost his ambition to make progress, and he can be regarded as a dragon or a phoenix among men. The most commendable thing is that he respects himself very much and lives with himself from the standpoint of equality between husband and wife.
The past between him and Hong Mudan cannot be erased. If it is really a breakup fee, she should and will be happy to pay it. Originally, she had a natural hostility towards Red Peony, but when she heard her love for Little Phoenix Fairy, this unhappiness disappeared. What Zhang Hanqing did was an expression of love and justice, but it felt a little weird.
Thinking of Zhang Hanqing’s various benefits, her heart softened and she had already forgiven him, but the woman needed some foreshadowing. So she said with tears: "Do you think I care about money? You took a lot of my dowry after it was sold or pawned. Do I have any complaints at all? I don't want any compensation from you. I'm just angry. Why didn't you tell me these things? Who knew you weren't using money to maintain your outer house!"
"Conscience of heaven and earth, I haven't seen her for three months!" She was the person she knew best, but hearing her tone softened, Zhang Hanqing knew that the crisis was over, and he exaggeratedly wanted to regain face.
"What's wrong with three months? Are you feeling aggrieved?" Yu Fengzhi didn't know when he learned the trick of changing faces in Sichuan Opera. Even when his tears turned into laughter, he still spoke with wit.
"Don't be wronged", Zhang Hanqing suffered a big loss. It seems that there is a long way to go to wake up and hold the power of the world, but to lie drunk in the lap of a beautiful woman.

Chapter 240: Human hearts are made of flesh
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Hengzhou madman Wang Xuehen, who was racking his brains to write an elegiac couplet for Xiao Fengxian, had just thought of a couplet when Zhang Hanqing took the lead. It cannot be said that he plagiarized it, which was unfair and tragic. But he was really good at it. After thinking hard for a long time, he finally came up with another link for him:
"Unfortunately Zhou Lang was short-lived.
"I knew Li Jing was a hero." "
As soon as this couplet came out, it became famous all over the world. It echoes Zhang Hanqing's one south and one north.
But for Xiao Fengxian, fame is just a burden. Originally, she had thought about reconnecting with Cai E after he recovered from his illness, but now, everything was in vain. After thinking about it, she decided to leave Beijing, a sad place. However, in the vast sea of ??people, where can she be accommodated? Where is her spiritual home?
This person has passed away, how can he be like a living person?
Cai E has passed away, leaving behind two wives and several children. The first wife, Liu Xiazhen, was originally named **ying because she was married for her sister. Because she was seven years older than Cai E, she gave birth to her eldest daughter Cai Julian (also known as Cai Zhulian) at an advanced age and had no future; Cai's second wife Pan Huiying, She received Western-style higher education and gave birth to two sons and one daughter: the eldest son Cai Duan (named Cai Zekun in the genealogy), the second son Cai Yongning (named Cai Zeke in the genealogy), and the daughter Cai Shulian. Mrs. Pan accompanied Cai E to Japan for medical treatment, but she did not expect that they would only return with a shadow. In grief, she braided a strand of her husband's hair into her own bun to show that she would never forget him.
With Cai E’s identity and the environment they are in, there is no doubt that the two will remain widowed for the rest of their lives. Cai E has been obsessed with state affairs all his life, but he doesn't have much personal property. He can't let his family bleed and shed tears, right? Zhang Hanqing then presented two thousand yuan in the name of his nephew and comrade, and sent a message of condolence to them, telling them to live in peace: "If anything goes wrong, please go north to Fengtian, and Xueliang will eventually take care of her as her sister-in-law."
Zhang Hanqing loved both the house and the crow, and he also had the friendship of red peonies, so he wrote a letter full of human touch to Xiao Fengxian, and simultaneously published it in the "Fengtian Times" with a very firm meaning: "Sister-in-law Fengyun is a woman who cannot be compared to a man. The story of Brother Songpo's respect and love for him, and his life-and-death help in escaping Beijing safely. This is a shocking legend of ghosts and gods witnessed by Xueliang. The man has passed away, and Xueliang is one of the parties involved. , I have to be tactful. Sister-in-law Fengyun is a female, and it is very difficult for her to live in the capital alone. It is best for her to come north to serve her, and my younger brother should also take care of her as her sister-in-law, so that she can live the rest of her life, and the hero will not bleed and shed tears."
At this point, the outside world knew that Zhang Zuolin's "persuasion" and Cai E's humiliation and humiliation had the same purpose. Through this celebrity relationship, Zhang Hanqing successfully cleared his name and molded himself into a talented young man who is affectionate, righteous, courageous and strategic. Moreover, Zhang Zuolin's original background as a bandit and all his previous stories of support have suddenly transformed into a patriotic martyr who can tolerate things without restraint, and is the hero behind the anti-imperialist movement!
This is also the true reason why Zhang Hanqing had to make the private message public. If he can do things, he must also know how to package them. It can be seen that the propaganda department is an important part of party building work!
His hard work is not all fake, at least his original intention of seeking happiness for the rest of his life for Xiao Fengxian and Red Peony is true and unchanging. It was this true love that made Xiaofengxian resolutely come to Fengtian to stay with Red Peony after feeling grateful for Zhang Hanqing's kindness. Hong Mudan, who no longer has extravagant hopes for a relationship with Zhang Hanqing, is also happy to reunite with her sister in need and spend the rest of her life. With Zhang Hanqing's help, both of them joined Han Shuxiu's Women's Movement Committee to make life no longer boring.
Because of this incident, everyone in Fengtian said that the young commander was affectionate and righteous. Although Zhang Hanqing was suspected of using public tools for personal use from beginning to end, he was able to provide food and clothing for his family and confidante. If General Cai knew about it, he should be grateful to Jiuquan.
Because of Cai E's death, Zhang Hanqing thought of many things.
If the current father and his team follow the trend of history, Sun Liechen will die of illness in 1924, Wang Yongjiang will die of illness in 1927, and Han Linchun will suffer a stroke in the winter of 1927 and die of illness in 1931. These are all members of the team who are loyal to him at this stage, and they all play an irreplaceable role. The death of any one of them will be a huge loss to him. It’s unknown if the condition could have been grasped earlier, or it might have changed.
Therefore, when Cai E died of illness, Zhang Hanqing persuaded Nai's father to arrange a systematic physical examination for senior officials of the Fengjun Army, such as Zhang Zuoxiang, Yang Yuting, Wang Yongjiang, etc., as well as senior officials of the Guard Brigade, such as Guo Songling, Han Linchun, Wang Yizhe, etc. . Especially Sun Liechen, due to historical reasons, Zhang Hanqing took special care of him. Although the physical examination results showed nothing, all the veterans and newcomers felt Zhang Hanqing's ardent feelings and kept his feelings in their hearts.
Zhang Hanqing also thought of the soldiers who had been killed and wounded while suppressing the bandits. For the wounded and disabled, the Guard Brigade has done the best possible treatment and care for them; for the deceased,The troops also tried their best to honor and honor the soldiers as much as possible. However, when discussing merits and rewards after the war, there are still some dissonances raging:
"Back when we were fighting bandits, our brothers were buried in black soil when they were dead. When they were disabled, they could only lament their bad luck. How come there are so many pretentious things? Why is the pension so high?" This is from Tang Yulin of the 53rd Brigade. Some people in the army couldn't stand the Guards Brigade's rising reputation.
"The Guard Brigade should not have fought in the first place. So many people were killed in the fight against the Mongolian bandits, which affected Fengtian's financial resources. This is Xiao Liuzi using public money to buy favors for private individuals to take credit." This is Feng Delin of the 28th Division pouring cold water. .
“The one who responded to them was Zhang Hanqing’s signed article in Fengtian Daily. While reviewing the glorious achievements of the Guards Brigade, he angrily responded to those dark remarks: "When a soldier dies in battle, the first thing the flies notice is his shortcomings and scars. They sip and scream with pride. They thought they were more heroic than the dead warriors. But the warriors had already died in the battle and no longer swatted them away. So the flies started to chirp, thinking that they were immortal voices because their perfection was far superior to the warriors. . Indeed, no one has ever discovered the shortcomings and wounds of flies. However, a warrior with shortcomings is still a warrior after all, and a perfect fly is just a fly after all!"
He also equated the achievements of the Guard Brigade in suppressing bandits with Cai E's movement to protect the country. The former effectively safeguarded territorial integrity, while the latter had far-reaching political significance. But both are selfless sacrifices for the country and the people, regardless of superiority or inferiority, so their sacrifices are equally worthy of respect: "As long as you have served the country, you will have the glory you deserve, and the country will remember you. The people will mourn you. No matter who is right or wrong in history, your contribution will not be easily obliterated and forgotten."
To this end, in addition to submitting a request to the Military Governor's Office to commend outstanding officers and soldiers, he also established a "Injured Soldiers Comfort Office" and a "Veteran Affairs Office" in the Political Department of the Guard Brigade to relieve officers and soldiers from worries.
Yu Jun Yumin, people say that he is a young man with affection and righteousness. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 241 Internal strife
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
After Yuan Shikai died, the mess he left in Beiyang was handed over to Duan Qirui. Zhang Hanqing knows Duan Qirui's name - a history of the Republic of China is actually a story with Duan Qirui as the main axis. Although Duan had three ups and downs, in the early days, he had absolute authority in the Central Committee - he served as Yuan Shikai's Army Chief for eight years and created the Anhui Clan. In the post-Yuan Shikai era, he actually held the most authority in the Central Committee. |Yang is a man who sticks to his word. At Zhang Hanqing's far-sighted request, Zhang Zuolin took the initiative to pass the money to Duan Qirui.
Because Feng Delin was hostile to Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuolin took a different route, he supported Li Yuanhong and sent his chief of staff Bai Yunchang to Beijing to accuse Zhang Zuolin, saying that he "connived his son to do nonsense in Fengfeng, and the new people suffered from it for a long time; the private army created new and old officers Li De, who has lost his military morale, and a disaster in Fengtian is imminent, asks President Li to send someone to replace him immediately, and says that Duan Qirui is protecting Zhang."
Zhang Zuolin, the strongman outside the customs, took the initiative to show his allegiance. How could Duan Qirui, who wanted to control the power of the central government, not show his loyalty? Besides, Xiao Duan (Duan Zhigui)’s words of praise for Zhang Nufeng are still in my ears. After becoming the powerful and responsible Prime Minister of the State, he reciprocated the favor and secretly told Zhang Zuolin that he could not see the two tigers competing outside the Pass, so he telegraphed to invite Feng to Beijing to discuss important matters. This was a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Of course Feng Delin would not fall into the trap and would respond accordingly. The Fengtian Public Legal Organization called on both sides to work together, put the overall situation first, and never go to extremes. Zhang Zuolin promised not to resort to force. However, the atmosphere in Fengtian Province was tense, the fighting was strict, and there were no pedestrians at night. The situation was extremely serious.
Although the central mediation was ineffective, Zhang Zuolin had the absolute moral upper hand. The Guards Brigade became famous in the first battle. Zhang Zuolin, with the remaining power of his victory in suppressing the bandits, made a 180-degree change in his attitude towards Feng Delin. He began to accuse Feng in public of "supporting soldiers with self-respect, no superiors, a cholera place, armed Thoughts of separatist rule." The two sides officially broke up with each other, Feng Delin even refused to attend the young marshal's wedding, and the two became incompetent.
When the dispute between Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin was intensifying, his trusted subordinate Tang Yulin, the commander of the 53rd Brigade, fell out with Zhang again. This was really a wave of unrest for Zhang Zuolin, and it was too unfavorable in this passing year.
Tang Yulin's rebellion was because Zhang Hanqing's reforms in Fengtian touched the interests of many people, especially Tang Yulin, the commander of the 53rd Brigade, who was the first to firmly oppose it. He was originally a bandit, and he did everything from eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling. However, in the past few years, he followed Zhang Zuolin to fight in the east and west, and fought in the north and south. He won some battles with his recklessness and recklessness. Zhang Zuolin still showed great respect to his old friend.
Tang Yulin and Zhang Zuolin are brothers. I have always believed that I am a star in the sky descending to earth, and that heaven has given me great responsibilities. He believes that he is the reincarnation of the Black Tiger Star, so he keeps a tiger specimen in his room. On the wall is a large photo of him riding a tiger. He wears a tiger skin on his chair. He calls himself a tiger general from heaven. . His relatives relied on Tang Yulin's power to collude and make huge profits. When the local people mentioned the Tang family, they were frightened and called Tang Yulin Tang Erhu. It is this "tiger" who historically abandoned the city and fled when he saw the Japanese. As someone who has been there, Zhang Hanqing is very familiar with his history.
This Tang Yulin once served as the commander of the provincial secret agent team. This secret agent team was originally established under Zhang Zuolin's instruction - Zhang Hanqing had not yet traveled through time - for the purpose of attacking dissidents and detecting intelligence in the provincial capital Fengtian. However, because these "secret agents" are not good people by nature, they think that they have made great achievements after fighting for many years and they should enjoy it after entering the city. Therefore, they act arrogantly in Fengtian City, disturb the people and attack the police, and the public opinion is very bad. After traveling through time, Zhang Hanqing had already decided to replace him. When Wang Yongjiang was re-employed, he reformed the police system following the Japanese police system and set up many police stations (later called police stations) in various parts of the provincial capital to deal with emergencies. Tang's secret agent team caused trouble everywhere and naturally became a frequent visitor to the police station. They were punished many times by Wang Yongjiang, which intensified Tang Yulin's conflict with Wang Yongjiang. When the bosses don't get along, conflicts between the soldiers and the police often occur.
Tang Yulin relied on the fact that he was a direct descendant of Zhang Zuolin and had repeatedly supported Zhang Zuolin during the expansion of Zhang Zuolin's power. He had always been arrogant and was dissatisfied with Zhang Hanqing's restriction of his power. But Zhang Hanqing was a young marshal after all, so he had no choice but to make excuses for Wang Yongjiang, who was highly favored by Zhang Hanqing. He also hoped to express his dissatisfaction with the young commander's reforms by not giving Wang Yongjiang a look, so he and Wang Yongjiang were always in tit-for-tat confrontation.
Tang’s troops often sought opportunities for conflicts with the police. When the incident reached Zhang Zuolin’s ears, Zhang Zuolin did not protect his shortcomings at all. He always severely punished the officers and soldiers who caused trouble, and summoned Tang and others to lecture and reprimand him, which often made him feel embarrassed. As the relationship between the two became antagonistic, the conflict gradually intensified.
In order to complete the goal of separating the military and police as soon as possible, Zhang Hanqing is determined to kill the big enemy.Yulin started. He talked about moving Zhang Zuolin to weaken the power of officers in the non-military system. The first target was Tang Yulin's secret agent team, which requested to be abolished and merged into the police system and the "Fengqin Bureau" on the grounds that a full-time intelligence system "Fengqin Bureau" had been established to integrate resources.
Although Tang Yulin was wary of the young marshal, he would never give in on major matters involving his power. At the high-level military and political meeting of the Fengtian Governor's Office on the handling of the secret agent team, he was very convincing. Many military officers who were dissatisfied with Wang Yongjiang also expressed their support. What was originally a discussion about the fate of the secret agent team turned into a "challenge for the king".
Seeing that the topic of the meeting had been moved, Zhang Hanqing became angry. He took the initiative and said loudly: "The separation of the military and police is a resolution made at the previous meeting of the Marshal's Mansion, and it is imperative. Wang Minyuan (Wang Yongjiang's alias) was at the Police Department He has done a very good job in his tenure as the mayor and the provincial police chief. He enforces the law impartially and has a reputation for prestige. The police department is also highly praised by the people of Fengtian. On the contrary, the secret agent team has long been in a mess, and only more people have failed to achieve results. It has played a far-reaching role in previous incidents. It is not as good as the 'Fengqi Bureau', so this useless force must not only withdraw, but also withdraw quickly and completely. I suggest that Wang Minyuan take the lead in dismantling the secret agent team from now on, and no one else can interfere."
Tang Yulin is an old man in the army. Zhang Hanqing deliberately killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, and used the power of the young commander to eliminate obstacles to the reform.
Although Zhang Hanqing is still a young boy in the eyes of everyone, the ancient feudal customs still exist, and the status of "prince" is still very important. And after experiencing the battle of annihilating the "King Qin Army", his prestige skyrocketed. When he spoke, some military and political officials who were originally dissatisfied with Wang Yongjiang, such as Sun Liechen, subconsciously shut up.
Only Tang Yulin didn't care. He relied on his elders and said: "Xiao Liuzi, I'm not talking about you. When I led the troops to fight, you were still wearing open pants. The separation of military and police is bullshit! Don't do this. Damn it, the commander is still firmly in Fengtian City!"
“There is probably no one else in Fengtian City who can tease Zhang Hanqing like this. Zhang Hanqing smiled instead of being angry and said: "Xue Liang naturally does not have the experience of the second uncle. According to the second uncle, it is because of the gift of the second uncle that my father and uncles can achieve such achievements? But Xueliang's reading After reading some books, I fully understand the principle that you can conquer the world immediately, but you cannot rule the world immediately. The second uncle's contribution to Fengjun's achievements today is obvious to all, but Xueliang does not want to succeed and Xiaohe will fail."
Those present here are all bandits who followed Zhang Zuolin to conquer the world. Generally speaking, their education level is not high, and there are many who are illiterate. However, everyone understands the meaning behind the young commander's words.
Since ancient times, those with high achievements must be envied by others. Faced with the arrogant Tang Yulin who relied on favors, and some estranged old subordinates, Zhang Zuolin felt that it was necessary to give him a beating - Tang Yulin was lawless, which was also unbearable for him. When I was here, even my son didn't respect me. I won't rebel against him in the future! He stared at Tang Yulin and cursed fiercely: "A gun can defeat the world, but it cannot rule the world. You know nothing! You are not even worthy of leading Wang Minyuan's horse and riding on it!"
Tang Yulin was dumbfounded when he heard this: He had worked so hard to crawl out from the pile of dead people in the hail of bullets, but he was not as good as a talkative scholar! It seems that the eldest brother looks down upon these brothers who fought bloody battles! But he didn't dare to vent his anger on Zhang Zuolin, so the whole debt was placed on Wang Yongjiang. He secretly thought about looking for opportunities to retaliate against Wang Yongjiang. Under his instigation, some generals in the army also rejected civilian officials like Wang Yongjiang.
This incident also led to the breakdown of Zhang and Tang's relationship.
The discord between Zhang and Tang is an opportunity for Feng Delin. He knows the principle of mutual elimination and mutual improvement. It is impossible for Zhang Zuolin not to hold grudges for his aggressive attitude some time ago, and he must be waiting for an opportunity to give himself a blow. If there is internal strife in the 27th Division, of course the 28th Division can defeat the enemy without a fight, but they try their best to provoke it.
He personally sent Zhang Haipeng, commander of the 55th Brigade of the 28th Division, to sneak into the 27th Division to instigate a rebellion. Zhang Haipeng was also a contemporary of Zhang Zuolin and others. He also had eight friends with Zhang and had a lot of popularity within the 27th Division. Speaking of which, Zhang Haipeng was not a good person in history. Later in official history, he was also a lackey of the Japanese. His method of winning over people is nothing more than using righteous actions for profit.
However, Zhang Zuolin was quite good to the main generals of the 27th Division where he started. Sun Liechen, who once commanded a heavy brigade and now succeeded Zhang Zuolin as the commander of the 27th Division, rejected him outright, and Zhang Zuoxiang only made some pleasantries. Recalling the righteousness of brothers, he said to Zhang Haipeng: "The governor is not kind to me, and you and I have been friends for eight times. If you want me to betray my brother, it is unjust and disloyal. You should tell Feng Delin these words, no matter what Good luck to his Twenty-Eighth Division. Big brother won't care about the past festivals. If you come now, we are still brothers. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate for you and me to meet each other."
Zhang Haipeng left the 27th Division in despair. He basically gained nothing from this trip. Of course, the "Fengqi Bureau" closely monitored this movement. The attitudes of Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen made Zhang Zuolin quite satisfied, so he relaxed his vigilance towards Tang, Zhang and Feng. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Basically there is nothing gained. Of course, the "Fengqi Bureau" closely monitored this movement.

During the Spring Festival of this year, Tang Yulin held a family banquet in the provincial capital to entertain the main cadres of the provincial capital, but Wang Yongjiang was left out. Zhang Zuolin was halfway through drinking when he suddenly realized that Wang Yongjiang was not around, so he asked strangely: "Why didn't Minyuan come?" Tang said bitterly and said nothing.
Sun Liechen, another confidant who knew the details well and had never liked Wang Yongjiang, helped smooth things over and said, "Maybe I missed him when I invited him."
Unexpectedly, Tang Yulin immediately corrected him and said: "I either missed it or I don't want to invite him. If he comes, it will ruin everyone's interest in drinking."
Zhang Zuolin was furious after hearing this. He pointed at Tang Yulin's nose and said: "You know how to oppose me. If you object to the people I like, I will use Wang Yongjiang! Whoever is unhappy will resign and get out!"
Tang Yulin took advantage of the wine and shouted, "Don't curse on the street. Resigning is nothing. You can't scare people." The banquet broke up unhappy.
Tang Yulin is determined to compete with Wang Yongjiang. The next day, he contacted a large number of officers in the army, jointly wrote a letter asking Wang Yongjiang to step down, and handed it to Zhang Zuolin. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zuolin tore the letter into pieces without even looking at it, and pointed at his nose again and cursed.
After Tang Yulin returned to the barracks, he became more and more angry, but misfortunes never come singly. Not long after he sat down, the wife of his subordinate Song came crying and asked him to make the decision. It turned out that the night before, one of Tang's subordinates, Song, was gambling in the city. For the purpose of investigation by the inspector, Wang Yongjiang sent someone to arrest Song for violating the three disciplines of non-commissioned officers.
Now old and new grudges came together. When Tang Yulin learned about it, he flew into a rage and instigated his subordinates to provoke the police. A battalion of soldiers surrounded the provincial police department and demanded their release. Wang Yongjiang hates evil so much, how can he show weakness? Tang Yulin ordered people to shoot into the air as a threat. Wang Yongjiang also ordered the police to issue weapons, and a confrontation broke out between the two sides. The shouts became louder and louder, threatening to break out.
Seeing that his strength was not enough, he wanted to mobilize his troops again when he was angry. He was determined to follow the ancient military advice and asked Zhang Zuolin to relieve Wang Yongjiang from his post. Tang Yulin said to several of his regimental leaders: "The commander-in-chief was deceived by the bad guys. Come with me to the commander-in-chief's house and ask the commander-in-chief to find out that bastard. Go with a gun. The bastard has a gun in his hand. Don't The commander-in-chief was hurt by their impatient behavior!"
On the morning of April 15, gunshots were heard from Song Xiaohutong in the south of the city. At first Zhang Zuolin thought it was a soldier who fired, but soon after the gunshots burst out like firecrackers, he was shocked and thought it was a mutiny among his men. In a hurry, Zhang Hanqing was summoned to guard with all the guards of the Governor's Mansion, as if facing a formidable enemy. Since the Guard Brigade was stationed in other places, only the 27th Division Guard Battalion allocated one company as the guard of the Commander's Mansion and Zhang Hanqing's own company of personal guards.
Yu Zhen, the brigade commander of the Guards Brigade, lived in the commander's mansion and was responsible for his duties. While sending people out to understand the situation, he was busy setting up sentries and closing the door. However, the guards suddenly experienced a sudden change, and the chief officer was at a loss. Naturally, they were all confused and just running around in front and back, shouting and neighing, and it was even more lively than outside.
Guo Songling came back with Zhang Hanqing and visited his home. He chatted with Zhang Hanqing at the Commander's Mansion. After hearing the alarm, he immediately ordered the guards of the Governor's Mansion to set up machine guns at the front and back doors to block the passage, and arranged for Zhang Hanqing's personal guard company to patrol. The reserve team is always ready to fight a bloody road for the two old and young marshals to break through. His orderliness gave the chaotic guards of the Shuai Mansion a reassurance, and they began to take their positions according to the instructions.
At this time, after Zhang Hanqing found out the news from his subordinates, he found out that it was actually Tang Yulin's department. Tang Yulin has a brigade of soldiers and horses in hand. If he really wants to go head-to-head with Tang Yulin, the danger is obvious. However, Zhang Hanqing was not afraid of him. Instead, he believed that this was the best opportunity to eliminate Lao Tang. This kid is surrounded but not attacked. He can tell at a glance that he has "lofty ambitions", but he is definitely not in trouble with the commander-in-chief. Otherwise, if he charges in, will he still have room to speak? But it was a good idea to take the opportunity to attack him.
Zhang Zuolin heard the gunshots still coming thickly and knew that the matter was not handled well. He was still furious when suddenly Zhang Hanqing rushed into the inner room with a look of haste. At this time, Zhang Hanqing was not as elegant as usual. He was feeling strange when Zhang Hanqing's tone changed: "Father, Tang Yulin has rebelled. His 119th regiment has surrounded the commander's mansion."
This time, it was Zhang Zuolin's turn to be dumbstruck. He never thought that Tang Yulin, who had been following him for many years, would also do this. But after all, he has been on the battlefield for many years, and his majesty is still there. Under the emergency order, the remaining internal guards in the commander's mansion immediately took action and tried to make phone calls to find the surrounding troops.
The security system of the Marshal's Mansion is divided into two layers: the outer layer was originally the Guards Brigade with Zhang Hanqing as the brigade commander, but is now served by a company seconded from the 27th Division, and the inner layer is composed of only nearly a platoon of men and horses. These They are the personal guards among the personal guards. They are all warriors who followed Zhang Zuolin from the white mountains and black waters.Battles, shed blood, are the magic needle of the commander's mansion.
Yu Zhen, the brigade commander of Zhang Zuolin’s Guards Brigade who was ordered to inspect in advance, saw that the situation was not right and led his men to stand between the two factions. While he asked Wang Yongjiang to make some concessions, he persuaded Tang Yulin to repel the soldiers to avoid accidents. Tang Yulin didn't take him seriously. He cursed and said, "You are just the commander of the handsome guard, and you are not responsible for taking care of my affairs!"
Tang Yulin was born as a warrior. He killed countless people when he was a bandit. After being recruited, he was ordered to suppress the bandits and killed countless people again. With his murderous intent, who in heaven dares to take advantage of him? He is also the Marshal's right-hand man, and he was also a very popular figure before. Although Yu Zhen was also an old man who had been following Zhang Zuolin for a long time, and this time she was delivering messages on behalf of the commander-in-chief, she had to buy into Tang Yulin's fault. Moreover, the entire Guard Brigade was already outside. As the brigade commander, he was only in name only, overseeing a guard company of less than 200 people.
Fortunately, Tang Yulin was just admonishing the soldiers, not rebelling, and the phone line connecting the Marshal's Mansion to the 27th Division has not been cut off. When Zhang Zuoxiang, the chief of staff on duty, heard the news, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time. He also had objections to Wang Yongjiang, and privately hoped that Tang Yulin's "making trouble" could regain the former glory of military officers - after all, after the separation of military and political affairs, his political status as a senior officer was limited to that of the army. Among them, only Zhang Zuolin, the military and political leader, was rising in status. However, this kind of "ruffle" caused the commander-in-chief to use the army to quell the rebellion, which he did not expect.
Soon, a regiment of the army Hu Xianmei who came to "escort" encountered a regiment of the army Zhao Enzhen who was surrounding the Marshal's Mansion, which stunned the two regiment leaders on the opposite side. When Zhang Zuoxiang and Hu Xianmei explained their intention, Zhao Enzhen was frightened half to death - he sent troops to commit rebellion with the intention of treason. It has been a capital crime from ancient times to the present. The fact that he led troops to surround the commander's mansion was a conclusive evidence. However, didn't Brigadier Tang tell himself that someone was plotting something against the Marshal and that he wanted to surround the Marshal's mansion under the stars? This is great, the one who "protected" has become the one who "assails"! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 243 Homecoming
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Knowing the teacher’s tactics, Zhao Enzhen made a prompt decision and ordered his soldiers to unload their guns immediately. He disarmed himself and followed Hu Xianmei and the two men with his hands tied. According to Zhang Zuolin's personality, he kept a low profile and beheading would never happen. But I don’t know if this own goal will affect my status in the commander’s heart. After all, I am the leader of the group that is hard-earned.
When he saw Zhang Zuolin, whose face was livid with anger, he couldn't help but tremble. However, when he glanced at the young marshal who was accompanying him from the corner of his eyes, he felt relieved: he and the young marshal got along pretty well, and the young marshal favored him very much in the Fengtian Martial Arts Hall.
Sure enough, after some explanations and after the young marshal pointed out that the initiator of this incident was Tang Yulin alone, Zhang Zuolin's face became much softer. He called Zhao Enzhen angrily and said, "Enzhen, sit down. Your original intention was also for me, so I don't blame you for this. I also said that the officers of the 27th Division would not believe that bastard Tang Yulin who came to create me." Anti! It seems that this reorganization of the army is inevitable!"
It is a foregone conclusion that Zhang and Tang will turn against each other, and it is time to take a stand. Zhang Zuoxiang also didn't have a good impression of Tang Yulin. In major matters, he always followed Zhang Zuolin's lead. Hu and Zhao also saw the overall situation clearly and expressed their loyalty to Zhang Zuolin.
After receiving the instruction, Zhang Zuoxiang quickly convened a meeting of officers above the 27th Division Battalion. At the meeting, Zhang Zuolin took the initiative to admit his mistakes, told everyone about his interests and concerns, and talked about many things in the past where we had shared joys and sorrows. Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Jinghui, Sun Liechen and others who had once echoed Tang Yulin were moved and expressed their firm support for Zhang Zuolin and their opposition to any form of military remonstrance against the superior.
With the morale of the army stable, it is time to deal with Tang Yulin. Tang Yulin's prestige in the army is far less than Zhang Zuolin. The fully armed officers and soldiers of the 27th Division made a large detour from a distance and counter-surrounded Wang Yongjiang's troops who were surrounding the Wang Yongjiang Police Department.
No matter how bold Tang Yulin was, he would not dare to clash head-on with Zhang Zuolin's troops. After all, Zhang Zuolin's power was not overwhelming. And before the fight, the soldiers of the 27th Division shouted "Capture the rebels, hand over the guns but not kill them", which caused his men to scatter.
Zhang Hanqing further exercised his power with Sun Liechen and ordered the military police to arrest Tang Yulin on the grounds of investigating suspected leaks of Tang Yulin and Feng Delin's relationship. Tang Yulin led two companies to escape to Xinmin Village.
After Tang left, Zhang Zuolin was furious, but Zhang Hanqing thought it was a good thing to make the army pure. He said to Zhang Zuolin: "It's a good thing that Tang Yulin is gone. Without him, the party is still standing. He has disturbed the situation. But my father should comfort the group of people who followed him in time to prevent any more collective defections."
So after some thinking, Zhang Zuolin faced the angry or anxious mentality of the entire division, and regardless of past grudges, he wrote a very sincere letter to Tang Yulin. The full letter is as follows:
"Brother Ge Chen: I have been a close friend in adversity for seventeen years, but I have not even seen each other before parting. My heart is broken! Can my brother's heart not be hurt? I recall that when we were in Sanglinzi, there were twenty-four people in total including my brother, Fu Chen, and my brother. We were repeatedly bullied by Hong Fuchen, Xu Hanwu and other big players. Jin Shoushan colluded with the Russian soldiers and attacked at night. We risked our lives to break out of the siege. Sun Deshan carried the Zhao family on his back and went to Laodafang. After a short breather. After surrendering to the new people, my younger brother was appointed as the commander and my elder brother was appointed as the sentry officer of the left sentry. My brother captured Du Lishan alive and was the first to achieve great feats. My younger brother was promoted to the commander of the patrol on the front road, and my elder brother was promoted to the commander of the second battalion of Ma. Later, we marched to Tao. In the south, Sixty-three Toothpicks, Tao Shitao and others suppressed the "Mongolian bandits". My brother was surrounded twice in the yurt. My brother took the risk and rushed to the yurt. My brother burst into tears with gratitude. My brother comforted me and said: "I don't want to live together, but I hope to die together." 'The words are still in my ears, but they will never die. In the autumn of 1911, General Zhao returned to the province by telegram. Chaos was imminent and people were panicked. My brother led his troops overnight and captured Hengliu, Zhang Rong and other important officials. The men fled and the provincial walls were destroyed. The crisis was over. My brother led the patrol in the middle and reorganized the 27th Army Division. My brother was appointed division commander, and my brother was promoted to brigade commander of the 53rd Brigade. When General Duan resigned, my brother became the governor and provincial governor. Others saw that our division was united and strong. The future is developing smoothly. In the past ten years, the military and administration of the whole province have been promoted. Envy has led to jealousy, jealousy has turned into enemies, sowing dissension, and sabotage in many ways. The facts are all there, and there is no need to overturn the case. The most precious thing in life is life. In the past, we should be in trouble. At that time, we swore that we would live and die together, but even with the difference of words, we were treated as strangers. My brother has always been loyal, but now he does not think about his past relationship, does not think about the past, and is determined to leave. This brother is deeply puzzled and is the most distressed. Moreover, the father's spirit is floating around the house, the important things are not finished, the old mother is still in the house and still needs to be taken care of, the brothers, wives, concubines, children and grandchildren, etc., are getting more and more, and the expenses are increasing day by day. The brother does not seek for himself, nor does he think about the whole family? We share the wealth, We should share and enjoy each other, and our sincerity will be expressed in the coming days. I will go without saying goodbye today, and there is no way to save me. When will I change my mind, and be willing to come and gather together to share wealth and honor. I will never break my promise. If the letter does not fulfill my intention, I still hope to understand. "
(Note): Notes on the names in the letter: 1. Jin Dingchen was later the commander of the first regiment of the 27th Division. He violated the law and discipline and was killed by Zhang and imprisoned. 2. ?The ?? family was Zhang Zhiyuan's wife, and Zhao Xigu, the Fengtian representative who attended the Xuzhou Conference, was a member of his clan. 3. Zhang Zuoxiang's courtesy name is Fuchen, and his family name is Zhang Jinghui. 4. Du Lishan was a famous bandit leader in Green Forest who harassed the local area. He was invited to have a drink with him and was immediately captured at the banquet. 5. Tao Shitao and others were the leaders of the Mongolian bandits. 6. Zhang Rong is Zhang Rong, a revolutionary. 7. "Others see that our division is strong sabotaged in many ways", others refer to Feng Delin.
Zhang Zuolin could not write, but this letter was dictated by him. It is a letter that reflects his true feelings, recalling old friendship and half a lifetime of history. The generals of the 27th Division all respected Zhang Zuolin from the bottom of their hearts when they saw that the general could be so kind and righteous to a rebel general. Tang Yulin's departure was a good reason for the 27th Division to eliminate the waste and retain the essence. Without Tang Huhu, Zhang Hanqing's purge of the army suddenly had fewer obstacles.
After Tang Yulin left, Zhang Zuoxiang, who had served in the escort, took over as the commander of the 53rd Brigade. Zhang Hanqing was assured of him: Zhang Zuoxiang was historically loyal to the Zhang family. After the Shenyang Huanggutun car bombing incident, Zhang Zuolin was killed. Zhang Zuolin, who had great prestige, did not change the dynasty, but devoted himself to assisting Marshal Zhang Xueliang. . Zhang Xueliang also respected Zhang Zuoxiang and called him uncle and assistant commander. After getting married, he made his first wife Yu Fengzhi the goddaughter of Zhang Zuoxiang's second wife Hua Futian. The two have always had a close relationship.
Seeing that Zhang Zuolin and his son did not hesitate to confront their most capable generals in order to protect themselves, Wang Yongjiang, who had always relied on his talent and arrogance, was also deeply moved. He devoted himself to the affairs of the Fengtian police community with more enthusiasm. Thanks to his efforts, the provincial capital of Fengtian has experienced a stable situation that has been rare for many years, and the public security situation has reached the best in history. Zhang Zuolin was also praised by the provincial capital for his ability to recognize and employ people.
Although Tang Yulin’s military remonstrance was resolved satisfactorily, looking back on the incident, Zhang Zuolin felt it was necessary to think deeply about why this happened. If he is determined to rebel, he is afraid that the 27th Division will shed its skin even if it is not dead. He is the commander of the 53rd Brigade and controls nearly half of the 27th Division's troops! Will there be Wang Yulin and Liu Yulin?
The new army of Xiao Liuzi and Guo Songling performed well. They were not afraid of danger, had fewer people but were more capable, and mutations occurred without chaos. They showed good qualities, which is rare. But when I am waiting for a few buddies to lead the army, they are still in the same old routine. They always say "Damn La Bazi, you guys work hard, do a good job, I will give you everything except my wife", and they always say "Brothers" , "If you have a brain, you're the only one", "Spare a knife for your friend" or "If your head falls off, you'll get a big scar", etc. This is obviously too backward. You need to have a clever way to abandon the old and make a new one! Otherwise, it would be unreliable to rely on just a few of them for something like this.
Zhang Hanqing’s recent strong performance made Zhang Zuolin think that it was time for the young marshal to impress.
After six months of hard work, Zhang Zuolin gained support in the provincial capital. Coupled with the orthodoxy of the post of General Fengtian, General Feng Delin from the same city could no longer return to his former arrogance. Zhang gradually became stronger and Feng gradually weakened, and the balance of victory was tilting sharply towards Zhang Zuolin.
Zhang Hanqing's troops have become Zhang Zuolin's "strong force" due to their success in suppressing bandits, and are therefore relied on for important tasks. Tang Yulin's incident prompted Zhang Zuolin to make up his mind to improve the status and strength of the Guard Brigade. Most of the people in the 27th Division are certainly reliable in the event of an accident, but everything has a contingency, right? If the Guards Brigade can truly become a force that restrains the 27th Division, then any careerist in the army will need to reconsider!
Former guard captain Yu Zhen was out of sight of Zhang Zuolin due to his poor performance in handling Tang Yulin's "rebellion" incident. As his eldest son, Zhang Hanqing naturally became the best candidate to lead this team. As the saying goes, father and son go into battle. Soon after, Zhang Zuolin officially transferred Yu Zhen to be the commander of the Fengtian garrison. Zhang Hanqing dropped the word "deputy" and took office, officially becoming the brigade commander of the Guards Brigade of the Military Governor's Office.
Because Zhang Hanqing is a young marshal and has absolute control over the Guard Brigade, he can do as he pleases in personnel deployment. When Yu Zhen was there, he still had reservations, but now he can really cover the sky with one hand.
Han Linchun can completely stand on his own. According to the course of history, Fengjun's massive expansion is just around the corner. It's time to give him more strength: he can't take into account the details in his own military and political affairs, so let him take charge of the work of the Guard Brigade. Well, he will be directly promoted to deputy brigade commander. In this way, promotion in the position will also help you to speak at the top in the future;
Guo Songling is indeed a talent, and he has absolutely no intention or strength to turn against the Zhang family, so you can use him with confidence. Leave some military planning matters to him. He is a good candidate for chief of staff. I will be promoted to chief of staff of the Guard Brigade first.
Wang Yizhe has done a very good job in ideological education, and the teaching team has also trained many characters. These should be reused. The teaching corps and the political department of the Guard Brigade are one team and two organizations. In order to formalize and enhance the status of the political department, the teaching corps was placed under the political department. Of course, he also serves as the director of the political department.
Because the establishment is large and there are many vacancies, all the officers who follow Zhang Hanqing have the opportunity to advance. As the saying goes, "Follow the young marshal and you will have a bright future." The Guard Brigade belongs to Zhang Hanqing completely.

While Zhang Zuolin was still eyeing Feng Delin, Zhang Hanqing was already looking at Jilin and Heilongjiang.
If the People's Party wants to become the People's Party of China, rather than a local party located in a corner of Fengtian, these two provinces must win over it. Based on historical experience, there is now a good opportunity. He wanted to rely on Northeast China to change the future situation, but he felt that time was running out. And his ambitious "father" Zhang Zuolin was unable to go north because he was competing with Feng Delin for supremacy in Fengtian.
Based on the situation in the northeastern provinces, the father and son believed that Jilin Meng Enyuan was very wary of them. His men were huddled together and it was difficult to make a move in their eagerness. Inadvertently, Meng and Feng teamed up to deal with them, and they stole the chicken but lost the rice. Moreover, Jilin's economic conditions are second only to Fengtian, while Heilongjiang is relatively weak. In terms of size, it is not difficult for Fengtian to eat and digest it. In addition, there is internal strife in the Black Province, which is relatively easy.
Even so, the father and son have been thinking about it for a long time, thinking that it is not enough to do it directly, and it is better to control Jiang Province through the hands of others. The two of them stared at Xu Lanzhou at the same time so they hit it off and discussed a "borrowing chicken to lay eggs" method, that is, to control Heilongjiang Province through Xu Lanzhou, and start with Heilongjiang, which is easier to solve.
Xu Lanzhou, commander of the Army's First Division stationed in Heilongjiang, was named Zhitian and was born in Balizhuang, Nangong. He studied Confucianism and martial arts when he was young, and joined the army as a young man. He was later recommended to study at the Hunan Military Academy, and after graduation he joined the Beiyang Army. In the third year of the Republic of China, Xu Lanzhou served as Army Lieutenant General and Division Commander. Together with Zhang Zuolin, Feng Delin, and Jilin Meng Enyuan, he dominated the three eastern provinces and was the most powerful figure in the military circles of Heilongjiang Province.
Xu Lanzhou had a close personal relationship with Zhang Zuolin. When he was the division commander, he was ambitious and always wanted to seize the military and political power of Heilongjiang Province. He was called the "Zhang Zuolin" of Heilongjiang Province. Zhang Zuolin also strongly supported Xu Lanzhou's behavior of squeezing out the powerful figures in Heilongjiang Province. After the promise was fulfilled, he recommended him to be the governor of Heilongjiang and promised to provide financial assistance. He assured Xu Lanzhou: "If Jiang Province needs funds, I can provide them with them." Japan’s 3 million yuan foreign debt will be repaid later, so I can use it first for you.”
After Li Yuanhong succeeded as president, Bi Guifang, the "Russian expert" who had served as the governor of Heilongjiang Province, took office again and became the governor and governor of Heilongjiang Province. Bi Guifang was originally a bannerman but later became a Zhili citizen. She was a diplomat and served as an attaché at the Qing embassy in Russia. This Bi Guifang who left and returned made Xu Lanzhou very jealous, thinking: "I have worked hard and just squeezed out Zhen'an Right General Zhu Qinglan to get a position as a military assistant, but you are sitting back and enjoying the results and dictating to me. You can't be so cheap." about you!"
The opportunity came! Bi Guifang was known to be afraid of his wife. In order to make his wife happy, he held a banquet for guests on the occasion of her birthday. Xu Lanzhou sent his cronies Li Jinglin and others to deliberately make a fuss and shout at the banquet, causing a conflict between Bi Guifang and the officers. Yingshun, commander of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, and Ba Ying'e, commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, were also dissatisfied with Bi Guifang. They conspired with Xu Lanzhou's confidant Ren Guodong and said: "We plan to ask Commander Xu to come out as the governor. What do you think?"
Ren Guodong, who had already received the instruction, readily agreed and made a wish that if Xu Lanzhou was appointed as the governor of Heilongjiang and Bi Guifang was driven away, Ba Ying'e could be promoted to division commander, and Ying Shun could concurrently serve as the garrison envoy. The two parties hit it off immediately at the wine table.
When the military governors declared independence one after another to express their support for Duan Qirui, Heilongjiang Military Affairs Supervisor Xu Lanzhou also declared independence. He was not against the Central Committee, but against Governor Bi. Because Governor Bi made a political mistake at this time: he advocated wait-and-see and was not eager to declare independence. This was inevitably considered by Duan Qirui to be leaning towards Li Yuanhong.
Xu Lanzhou felt that he had found a good opportunity and asked Bi Guifang to resign as warlord. Bi Guifang negotiated with him and was willing to give up the position of governor and stay as governor, but Xu Banzhou wanted to be the governor as well to bargain. Relying on his military power, he ordered Yingshun and others to lead troops to the military governor's office to ask Bi Guifang to "relinquish talents".
Bi Guifang is called the military governor, but he has no soldiers. Under pressure, Bi proposed to stay as governor, but Xu Lanzhou refused. Not only did Bi Guifang give up all her posts, but she was also given 24 hours to leave the country.
Bi Guifang had no choice but to wait for the central government's approval, so he issued a notice to step down, recommending Xu as an agent. The news said: "Agent Xu is smart and courageous, has a thorough understanding of the border areas, can actually help the country in difficult times, and is the pillar of the country." After all the positions were handed over to Xu Lanzhou, he angrily resigned and returned to Beijing.
Xu Lanzhou may have felt embarrassed that he got what he wanted, so he also called and said: "Administrator Bi was so humble that he resigned from his post with great pride. He adopted the skill of Qing Ai and retained him, but failed to resign. He has to accept his shortcomings for the time being."
Forgetting everything, he proclaimed himself the governor of Heilongjiang before being appointed by the Beijing government. Later, he broke his promise and promoted his close friend Guodong to the position of division commander. Yingshun and Yingshun, who were eyeing this position eagerly,The forehead was left hanging aside.
After being tricked, Ying and Ba became extremely angry, and they began to turn their guns against Xu Lanzhou. For a time, the smell of violence in Heilongjiang was strong, and war was about to break out.
Duan Qirui's cabinet was indifferent to the dispute between Bi and Xu, and had no intention of defending it. However, he did not like to cause trouble, so he called Xu to Beijing for a talk. Xu Lanzhou called back and said: "There are two clan members in Heilongjiang, Yingshun and Ba Ying'e, and they must stay here to exterminate the bandits." He was unwilling to give up the positions of governor and provincial governor, so he sent a telegram to Zhang Zuolin, hoping to get Zhang Zuolin. s help.
At this time, Zhang Zuolin was quietly observing the changes in the current situation. Seeing the chaos in the political situation in Heilongjiang, Zhang Zuolin was secretly happy. However, he is still in a stalemate with Feng Delin of the 28th Division and is powerless. Just as he was about to politely refuse, Zhang Hanqing said: "A cattle hunt across the mountains is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This is a good opportunity to increase your sense of presence. My father and Deputy Feng can't compete with each other now, so it would be a good idea to open the situation from the black province."
After waking up the dreamer, Zhang Zuolin decided to use the method of "seizing power in chaos" to win Heilongjiang in one fell swoop. He sent his crony Sun Liechen to rush to Jiang Province in the name of mediating the dispute between the two factions to win over both parties in order to pave the way for a smooth seizure of power.
After Sun Liechen arrived in Jiang Province, he met Yingshun and Xu Lanzhou successively. Both Yingshun and Sun Liechen were trained in the martial arts halls of the three eastern provinces. Overjoyed to meet his old classmates, Yingshun told Sun Liechen everything about Heilongjiang Province.
Sun Liechen's trip was not in vain. Both sides of the confrontation in Heilongjiang actually expressed their willingness to obey Zhang Zuolin's arrangements. This made Sun Liechen both surprised and delighted. He happily returned to Fengtian to return his orders. Upon hearing the good news, Zhang Zuolin immediately sent a telegram to his power partner Duan Qirui, a powerful figure in the Beijing government, recommending his son and daughter-in-law Bao Guiqing, director of the Central Army Lecture Hall, to take over as the governor of Heilongjiang Province.

Chapter 245 Incorporation

Bao Guiqing is also one of Duan Qirui's associates and a veteran of the Northeast. Moreover, Zhang Zuolin's first wife, Zhao's eldest daughter Zhang Shoufang (also known as Guanying, Zhang Hanqing's sister), who was born in 1898, is about to marry his son Bao Yucai. With this relationship, it is estimated that this role is acceptable to all parties. When the dispute between the government and the Yuan came to a head, both sides showed a certain degree of restraint on the incident outside the customs. In addition, the candidate for the governor was not Zhang Zuolin, so the Beijing government, which did not want to be troubled, quickly agreed. With Zhang Zuolin's recommendation, Bao Guiqing was officially announced as the governor and governor of Heilongjiang.
Xu Lanzhou, who was threatened by the British and Pakistanis and severely reprimanded by the Central Committee, was also disheartened and did not resist Bao Guiqing's arrival. Although he compares himself to Zhang Zuolin in his heart, he does not have the latter's strength. In addition, the name is not correct, and there is no way to do anything anymore.
Considering that Xu Lanzhou was a dangerous figure making trouble in Jiang Province's military circles and had a large number of troops under his command, Bao Guiqing, who had just arrived, was afraid that he would not be able to contain him and would cause chaos, so he called Duan Qirui many times to seek countermeasures. Duan Qirui also believed that although Bao Guiqing was a relative of Zhang Zuolin, he was loyal to him. If he could not control the situation, it would inevitably affect the authority of the central government, so he deliberately transferred Xu Lanzhou to Zhang Zuolin in order to exercise restraint.
However, Zhang Zuolin replied hypocritically that he was only concerned about the peace of the Northeast for the sake of the peace of the Northeast. Since he was on good terms with Bao and Xu, if he merged with Xu Lanzhou, firstly, it would greatly damage the loyalty of his friends, and secondly, it would cause people to form I had the impression that Zhang Zuolin came here for the benefit of power expansion, and refused to accept his resignation.
Besides Zhang Zuolin, who else can restrain an elephant like Xu Lanzhou? And if Xu is not allowed to completely leave his base in the Black Province, Bao Guiqing, the military governor, will be in name only. So after many negotiations between the two sides, Duan Qirui still pretended to be in the hands of the central government and strictly ordered Xu Lanzhou and his 5 cavalry battalions and 3 infantry battalions from the 1st Division to "immediately transfer to Fengtian and serve under Zhang Zuolin!" "
Xu Lanzhou had no choice but to obey.
Seeing Xu Lanzhou, the first thing Zhang Zuolin said was: "I'm sorry, brother, for not being able to help him because my people are busy dealing with the 28th Division and can't spare any time. Please forgive me."
Xu Lanzhou was angry, but seeing Zhang Zuolin's sincere expression, he couldn't say anything else. Yes, it was the Central Committee member's idea to take away his military power. Zhang Zuolin refused several times and tried to rectify it, but he was unable to make a comeback. Who should blame him? Moreover, the discord between Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin is well known in the military and political circles of the three eastern provinces, and his pressure must be understood.
So Xu Lanzhou could only say that when he came to Feng Province, he was in a sparse place and needed Zhang Zuolin to raise and arrange all kinds of supplies and military pay.
Zhang Zuolin was already prepared and agreed repeatedly. He called Zhang Hanqing and said to his face: "Master Xu is my eldest brother. He will temporarily settle down in Feng Province. You must treat him well like you serve your uncle. Give him food if he wants it, and pay him if he wants it. In a word , if the 27th Division has food to eat, the 1st Division must have food to drink. You will be responsible for the specific matters. If you have any difficulties, you can report to me directly."
Such words and how to deal with them have been carefully rehearsed before Xu Lanzhou arrived, and Zhang Hanqing also vowed to go all out to take good care of Xu's life in Feng Province. He also called the quartermaster of the Guards Brigade on the spot and asked him to fully cooperate with the Xu Department's logistics work.
The old marshal and the young marshal were both so polite, and Xu Lanzhou’s last trace of resentment disappeared without a trace. According to Zhang Hanqing's suggestion, in order to facilitate supplies, Xu Lanzhou's troops were stationed in Qian Dingxiang Tun outside Fengtian West City, which was very close to Dafang Shitun, the training base of the Guard Brigade. This was approved by Xu Lanzhou.
The interaction between the two parties was good at the beginning, and Zhang Hanqing lived up to his promise and the supplies were delivered on time. But gradually, some gossip slowly spread to Zhang Zuolin, saying that Xu's garrison often bullied the city, and the people in Fengtian provincial capital complained a lot, saying that it is rare for a commander to be benevolent and righteous, and a friend in need is a friend indeed. But Xu Bu couldn't support the wall with mud and didn't know how to restrain himself.
Zhang Zuolin was furious when he heard this. At a military and political meeting, he denounced Zhang Hanqing for his ineffectiveness in doing things and causing Xu's soldiers to be wronged, so he acted to disturb the people.
These actions were, of course, intentional. In front of everyone, Xu Lanzhou had to express his condolences to let the younger generation be implicated. He said that his troops had been idle for a long time, which led to this move, and said that they would be strictly controlled.
Zhang Hanqing chased the snake and followed him, wanting to atone for his sins, saying that the Guard Brigade training base was there, and Xu's troops could be trained in installments. He also stated that in order to improve the military quality of its officers, the second phase of Fengtian Lecture Hall can reserve some places for them, and the newly added officer training group of the Guard Brigade can also conduct short-term training for middle and lower-level officers to maintain combat effectiveness. His enthusiasm, enthusiasm and enthusiasm made it difficult for Xu Lanzhou to refuse the kindness of this young man.
In this way, as batches of troops were mobilizedTransfers came and went, and some officers were sent out for rotation training. Xu Lanzhou gradually found that he had lost control of this unit: the battalion commanders often did not know where their subordinate companies were, and he could only have the opportunity to meet with him every ten days and a half. Go to your familiar subordinates. On the contrary, the officer training group of Zhang Hanqing's Guard Brigade has successively placed many officers in the positions of battalion and company commanders at all levels, euphemistically calling them "trainee consultants."
These consultants were really good at it. Not only did they quickly get along with the officers and soldiers, but they also had impressive abilities in training and grasping ideological dynamics. This once again frustrated him: after being transferred to Fengtian, Xu Lanzhou lost himself. The base area has been operating for many years, and all the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the troops are provided by Fengjun. As the saying goes, those who take advantage of others are short-handed and those who eat others are soft-spoken. The trend of centrifugal force among subordinates has been formed. Regardless of morality or power, he is no longer Zhang Zuolin's opponent. How could I still say: "Your son plotted against me and made me into a mere commander?" Once he said this, it was just more laughter.
Of course, the "trainee consultants" were all selected by the Political Department of the Guard Brigade, and their purpose was to attack the First Division - by the way, the Zhang family and his son had been staring at this piece of meat for a long time.
The Guards Brigade can form a strong combat effectiveness in a short period of time and contributes a lot to political work. Therefore, it is quite powerful in disintegrating and dividing the officers and soldiers of the First Division, but it is also silent. Ordinary officers and soldiers feel the unique management style of the Guard Brigade, especially the integration of officers and soldiers, treating soldiers as human beings and being respected, which is very popular among lower-level officers and soldiers.
As for the mid-level and senior commanders, Zhang and his son used a two-pronged approach: bribery and evasion.
Being an official is to make money. The battalion commanders of Xu's eight battalions received many benefits, and Xu Lanzhou himself could not protect himself, so they were already worried about being in Xu camp.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of frequent "training" at the martial arts hall, it is inevitable that there will be ineffective control of the troops. More importantly, Zhang Hanqing adopted a staff system that completely subverted the common sense in the military circles of the Republic of China, which to a large extent eliminated the chief officer - if it was indeed useless.
During the Beiyang Army era, the status of the chief of staff was not high. Taking divisions in the Republic of China as an example, division commanders generally have the rank of lieutenant general and brigade commanders have the rank of major general, but division chiefs of staff usually only have the rank of colonel. At this time, the division chief of staff was merely the division commander's staff rather than the core of the operations department.
But Zhang Hanqing did the opposite and vigorously promoted the promotion of the chief of staff's status. For example, after Zhang Zuoxiang became the chief of staff of the Military Governor's Office, he changed from the junior Sun Liechen and Tang Yulin to the same level. In the Guard Brigade, not only are they made to have the same role as the adjutant commanders at all levels, but they also exercise combat power when the chief officer is absent.
???????????????????????????????????????????????? In the Beiyang Army, deputy positions at all levels do not exist. If his approach is interpreted from a positive perspective, it is a guarantee for the army's command system; but on the other hand, it is entirely possible to promote some obedient lower-level officers to contain the chief officers - they can be promoted and replaced by Opportunity, no one wants to be at the bottom.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the way and soon Xu Lanzhou became Zhang Zuolin's "high-level prisoner". Someone else's wedding dress has already been made, so why bother with this fig leaf? Xu Lanzhou simply stated that he had given up his jurisdiction over the army, and solemnly recommended Zhang Hanqing to Zhang Zuolin: "Hanqing is young and promising, and he can be proud of his nephews. I should let him go. I am also very happy to hand over my subordinates to Hanqing." rest assured."
Zhang Zuolin half-truthfully replied: "How can a half-grown child know how to lead an army? If you beat him as an uncle, you are protecting him."
Zhang Hanqing acted innocently: "Uncle Xu wants to support me wholeheartedly, do it and cherish it."
However, he did not hesitate to start: Xu's five cavalry battalions were organized into two cavalry regiments together with the cavalry battalions directly under the Guards Brigade; the three infantry battalions were also merged into the three regiments of the Guards Brigade. , and a battalion drawn from each of the three regiments formed an artillery regiment with the artillery battalion. In this way, there is no obstacle to the formal expansion of the Guards Brigade to the division level: the standard structure of four infantry regiments, engineers, and baggage corps have long been established, and now the cavalry regiment and artillery regiment have also emerged.
Zhang Hanqing was promoted to the acting division commander of the Guard Division, and everyone was promoted one level higher: Han Linchun was the acting deputy division commander, Guo Songling was the acting division chief of staff, Wang Yizhe was the acting division director of political department and leader of the teaching team, Ji Yiqiao was the acting division commander. As the agent training director——it's been less than a month since the last promotion.
The reason why they are all agents is because the Central Committee has not approved this force yet, but so what?
The Guard Brigade has always had no shortage of cadres, and it has its own set of methods for forming, and the same applies to changing it into a Guard Division. The officers and soldiers of the Xu Department who have been accustomed to being dispatched by the Guards Brigade officers are not unfamiliar with the new commanders and the new organizational structure. Anyway, "if you have breasts, you are a mother." This is something that the bosses all agree on. What are you going to do? Besides, the Guard Division is also pretty good.
Since most of the officers of the Xu Department were originally sent to "study and train" under various names, the commanders of each battalion and company of the newly established army were all people assigned by the Guard Brigade. In a word, Xu Lanzhou's troops were completely merged. Faced with this situation, Xu Lanzhou couldn't help but sigh: "I hunt geese all day long, but the geese peck me blind!"
Thus, Zhang Zuolin successfully kicked off the first stumbling block to seizing power in Jiang Province. Of course, Xu Lanzhou's title as a senior advisor to the Fengtian Governor's Mansion cannot be shortened.

Of course, it is to contain Bao Guiqing (actually, more realistically, it is to contain Wu Junsheng, who may dominate the army) - what can Bao Guiqing do to guard against? And to express his comfort to Xu Lanzhou, an old man from Jiang Province, Zhang Zuolin still managed to get Xu Lanzhou to return to his original position as assistant officer - this also shows that Marshal Zhang is loyal enough. However, when Xu Lanzhou returned to the underworld this time, he found that the real power was in the hands of General Han Linchun, who was appointed by Zhang Zuolin and under Zhang Hanqing.
As early as when Xu Lanzhou was still in the Fengtian Hot Kang, Zhang Zuolin had already predicted the situation in the Heilongjiang Province: Bao Guiqing needed to continue to have an honorary warden there to calm the heart of the center, and Xu Lanzhou needed to go back to stir up the chaos in the Heilongjiang Province - this way Only then does his role appear to be important. Sometimes, the weight of your words depends on whether you can properly show your strength.
As for Wu Junsheng, he can give sweetness but not substance. He doesn’t want to drive away Xu Lanzhou and the others with a plan in front of him, and then a powerful faction comes in behind. Bi Guifang and Xu Lanzhou, the former is an empty-headed military governor, the latter seems to have soldiers and generals but no intention to return, and Wu Junsheng has been struggling in the military camp for so many years, and his subordinates are very powerful. Once he takes root in the Black Province, it will be much more difficult to control than the previous two.
The military power of the Black Province must be firmly controlled by its own people, and everyone must be satisfied with it. Lao Wu's matter has been drafted, but who will be sent to take charge of the army? This choice needs careful consideration.
Sun Liechen was feasible. He went to Heilongjiang Province to deal with the rebellion and had proven his ability and prestige. However, he has now taken over as the commander of the 27th Division, which is very important. The two allies Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Jinghui were also feasible, but they gave up after weighing the pros and cons because Zhang Hanqing had no intention of doing so. He mentioned: "Father's hand is stretched too far. I'm worried that the person in the center is worried"
Yes, Fengtian has always been the leader in the Northeast, and the central government has been pulling and fighting Zhang Zuolin. If he stretches his hand too far, it may backfire. Sending a recognized confidant of Lao Zhang to the Black Province will inevitably attract attention from top to bottom. However, when sending someone else there, Lao Zhang was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the situation in the Black Province, and he was also afraid that he would have other intentions and cause the situation to become overwhelming.
So Lao Zhang thought about it, but there was no suitable person available. At this time, Zhang Hanqing immediately exerted influence: "I think we might as well let Han Linchun give it a try. He is senior enough and can stand alone. Besides, he is not a problem in the Guards Division"
It’s not that Zhang Hanqing is really embarrassed that his colonel division commander has a major general deputy division commander next to him, but he is using the topic to make a fuss. God-given opportunity, if your people don't take the position, it would be a shame for your efforts! As for Lao Zhang, he really thinks that having a major general and deputy division commander next to his son is a bit unfair. No matter how generous Zhang Hanqing is, he still has to take care of other people's feelings, right?
And whether Han Linchun was a major general in the early Republic of China or based on his military exploits in the Guards Brigade, or based on his current position (deputy division commander), his recruitment of the Black Province Army was a popular move. In particular, he has a unique advantage: he is not from the 27th Division, so he can avoid giving people the excuse that it was the 27th Division that annexed the First Division. He is definitely Zhang Hanqing's man - based on his contact with him for such a long time, he believes that Han Linchun is indeed reliable.
Zhang Zuolin also recognized Han Linchun, but he still had some scruples about his appointment. He was worried that Wu Junsheng would fall out of favor. If Lao Wu could be led by him, it was because he was interested in the lucrative profits in the murky waters of the Black Province. . I have already given him good words about expanding the army and the grand plan of supervising the black army in the future. Now I have an opportunity but I take action first. Who knows what he will think?
Zhang Hanqing is not worried: "Given Wu Shibo's current conditions, there is little chance of him ascending to the top of the world. He should understand. But my father can definitely promote his idea of ??expanding his army. I think if my father makes enough gestures, no matter whether he succeeds or not, Wu Shibo will He will be grateful for his father's kindness——but if it doesn't work, the central government will not approve it, and Wu Shibo can be completely moved to his father's side."
Zhang Zuolin said worriedly: "I'm afraid Xing Quan has some ideas. His entire army is in Heilongjiang Province, and he will take the opportunity to reorganize the Heilongjiang army. I can't interfere openly."
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "Wu Shibo has always been famous for suppressing bandits. If he is allowed to return to his old profession and show his intention to promote the expansion of his army" If he still thinks about the idea of ????the military governor or wants to go against Zhang Zuolin, then It means that this person is ignorant and cannot be used by me, so Lao Zhang will have to remove him in the next step. In short, if you want to carve out a place in Northeast China, you must win the Black Province!
Zhang Zuolin laughed and said: "Not bad."
As soon as Wu Junsheng entered Qiqihar, Zhang Zuolin sent someone to tell him: "Brother has helped me a lot several times, but Zuolin has nothing to offer in return. He has sent a telegram to the Central Committee to request the expansion of my brother's division into the 29th Division. Good news can be expected. Heilongjiang Province The banditry is very serious, if my brother can make new achievements here, he will become famous as Master Lin."
As a general, no one would complain that there are too many soldiers and that one has a high position. At that time, Wu Junsheng, Zhang Zuolin and FengDelin was an equal patrol general, and now both of them were commanders of a division. He was still a brigade commander, or a smaller cavalry brigade. Even with the same military rank as lieutenant general, Wu Junsheng's role as lieutenant general and brigade commander was very boring.
For this matter, Wu Junsheng had gone across the capital to make many attempts, preparing to expand the rear patrol team and the second cavalry brigade into the 29th Army Division. He repeatedly discussed the issue of editors with the President of Lebanese University and Prime Minister Duan, but temporarily gave up due to financial difficulties. Although he was somewhat shrewd in the military, he was far from the opponent of these people politically. He was blocked at the word "insufficient funds", and he was unable to do anything and could only live in trouble.
??????????? Can we be like Lao Zhang, who kills first and tells later, and expands his troops first to create a fait accompli? The answer is no! Zhang Zuolin was the governor and governor, and he was rich, but he was far behind in administrative levels.
So this time Zhang Zuolin vowed to help him, and Lao Wu was so happy that it is no exaggeration to describe it as tears of gratitude. Zhang Zuolin sent Han Linchundi's first brigade into the underworld. His intention is self-evident. At this stage, he has no intention or courage to fall out with Lao Zhang. As long as Zhang Zuolin is tough, he will definitely avoid the limelight. Now, Lao Zhang is very benevolent and has hinted that he wants to exchange benefits with him, so he naturally understands it.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about seizing the opportunity to enter the Black Province, but seeing that Zhang Zuolin was determined to win, he really had the wisdom to give it up. Lao Zhang is jumping up and down so hard, is it really for the peace of the Black Province? Or are you trying to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble? Or maybe both? He has no idea?
He must have a lot of ideas!
It is difficult to get the military governor in one step, but the position of division commander is very likely to be successful. It is not a good idea to compete with Lao Zhang at this time. What choice should be made? Lao Wu is also a wise man and does not need anyone to teach him.
So when Han Linchun led a brigade into Qiqihar, Wu Junsheng not only did not hinder him, but also helped him work together to successfully surrender Yingshun and Ba Ying'e, so there was no more disturbance in the military circles of Heilongjiang Province.
At this time, both armies were stationed in the Black Province, especially Wu Junsheng. He looked at the British and Pakistani brigades that could be recruited at any time. It was absolutely impossible to say that he had no ideas. But Lao Zhang asked him to suppress the bandits, so Wu Junsheng honestly left the city and went to the Suifen River Basin where bandits were most infested, and willingly let Han Linchun pick peaches.
In this way, Zhang Zuolin's appearance was a bit too ugly, so he felt a little guilty, so he really took Wu Junsheng's promotion seriously and called the Ministry of War to "seriously" consider Wu's promotion to a division. His weight was not to be neglected by the Army Ministry, and he soon received a reply saying, "The current situation is extremely difficult and financial resources are extremely low, so we have no choice but to severely downsize the military. And when this comes to an end, it is difficult to expand the division number." , everyone hopes to avoid the difficulty, but still postpones the adaptation."
Zhang Zuolin relies on loyalty and trustworthiness when walking in the green forest. Wu Junsheng has given up his plan to compete with you in the Black Province now. If he messes up this matter, how will he win the trust of others in the future? He decided to kill first and report later, so he immediately drafted the "Adaptation of the Official Documents of the Twenty-ninth Division", directly saying: "I hereby check the Taoliao garrison envoy and the commander of the Fengtianhou Road Patrol Army Lieutenant General Wu Junsheng. He has the courage to know Wan Su's skillful strategy, and he can be regarded as a temporary army." The commander of the 29th Division, in addition to being appointed by the military governor, will be appointed first to start training, and will be forwarded to the Advisory Committee for appointment once the reorganization is ready"
If you want to postpone the adaptation, I will prepare it first and then wait for you to appoint him. However, in the meantime, I want to appoint him as division commander. In this way, Wu Junsheng will be an actual unapproved division commander. If the Central Committee rejects it, the person who will be offended is Lao Wu. Duan Qirui's idea of ??internal fighting among the Wu, Zhang, Feng, and Ma families will immediately go bankrupt. , and pushed Wu Junsheng to Zhang Zuolin's side. With the permission of the Central Committee, Lao Wu will still remember Lao Zhang's affection. In short, he will win without losing.
Of course, Lao Zhang still has a few literary experts around him. He emphasized the expansion of the 29th Division. "In fact, since the founding of the Republic of China, the army under the command of Wu Junsheng, the garrison of Taoliao, has been fighting bloody battles for many years. They have been victorious in every direction and have repeatedly performed military exploits." , although the envoy was honored and the officers were still the same, it is easy to lose hope over time. Admittedly, he may have lost military morale. Former Zhen'an General Zhang Xiluan once asked to change the division, but the order was suspended, and the morale was low. One obstacle. The change of the Pakistani bandits last year should have brought the old and new troops together. The teachings and orders were different from those of the past, and the equipment was also good and bad. All the treatment was completely different, and the command was not satisfactory At present, the members of the Pakistani bandits Ambition is not dead, and it is bound to make a comeback when spring comes. Without a unified military system and motivating soldiers, it is not enough to win."
As for the expenses that the Central Committee is worried about, Zhang Zuolin has already helped them solve it: "It is planned to exceed the budget of the Second Cavalry Brigade by 170,000 yuan. If we ask it to reduce it, there will be no discrepancy in the money and there will be no harm in adapting it. Instead of delaying the establishment and hurting the soldiers, Heart, how could it be possible to change it early and reap the unification effect?"
Duan Qirui was alert to Lao Zhang's conspiracy. In order to prevent it from succeeding, he decided to cut through the mess quickly and immediately eliminated all difficulties and promoted Wu Jun to the temporary commander of the 29th Division of the Army of the Republic of China.
Wu Junsheng's army officially ranks among the strongest Chinese armies in the world. He himself was "promoted" from Taonan garrison envoy and unimpressive cavalry brigade commander to the position of division commander. He was finally able to stand upright and dignified in the name of lieutenant general division commander. In front of everyone. But if Duan Qirui and the others knew that Wu Junsheng would eventually be a die-hard Feng clique, and this deliberate arrangement accelerated the expansion of Zhang Zuolin and his Feng clique's power, would he be upset about this decision?

Chapter 250 The battle between the government and the court
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The fact that Dazhang and Xiaozhang were able to work hard and quickly in Fengtian, completely ignoring the attitude of the central government and the counterattack of some forces whose interests were affected, is related to their strong strength, especially the heavy troops they hold.
It sounds incredible. In fact, when you understand the changes in Beijing during this period, you can understand how the timing chosen by Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing was just right, and it was not just a matter of bad luck.
Because the central government is in chaos now, no one can care about the outside world.
Before Yuan Shikai died, he held his hands to Xu Shichang and Duan Qirui and sobbed: "According to the "Convention", Li Qing (Li Yuanhong) will succeed the president. You must assist him well." Perhaps feeling this, he decided to fight in Sichuan When Zhang Jingyao and other generals called to express their willingness to elect Duan Qirui as president, Duan Qirui flatly refused. After this incident was known to outsiders, the whole country burst into admiration.
At that time, Yuan Shikai violated the treaty and dissolved the National Assembly. The Republic of China had been severely damaged. Now there is a generous and kind-hearted Li Yuanhong as president, an upright Duan Qirui presides over the cabinet, and the Kuomintang and the Progressive Party coexist. Congress, the realization of constitutional government is within sight, and the whole country has expressed unanimous optimism about this.
Since Lao Yuan died, former Vice President Li Yuanhong succeeded to the throne. Since the day he took the throne, he and Premier Duan Qirui have had a very unhappy relationship. Historical records record that Duan Qirui invited Li Yuanhong to come back as president and the process was like this. It was very comical and even comparable to American actor Charlie Chaplin's pantomime. There is historical evidence:
"Duan Qirui came in without saying a word. He sat down here, saluted, and bowed three times. Li Yuanhong quickly returned the salute when he saw it. The two sat drinking tea, and neither of them said a word for a long time.
Li Yuanhong speculated that Duan Qirui's intention was to ask him to go back and become the president, but Duan Qirui didn't say anything and just sat here relatively speechless for half an hour according to current standards. Duan Qirui stood up and said goodbye. Li Yuanhong walked to the door of the mansion. Duan Qirui turned around and said, "You should contact me about the vice president's affairs."
What does it mean? It means that I have come to ask you to be the president. Just be the president. Don’t worry about the vice president.
Li Yuanhong immediately asked, ‘Why? ’ This is not just a matter of the presidential office, the power lies with the State Department. ‘What about the State Department? ’
Duan Qirui raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm here", turned around and left.
Li Yuanhong also understood that he was asking me to be a puppet! But he couldn't control this situation, he had to shoot the arrow when it was on the string. In this way, Li Yuanhong was invited out by Duan Qirui in a daze and became the President of the Republic of China. The appointment ceremony was very simple. Duan Qirui took a few of his men and drove several cars to pick up Li Yuanhong at his home in Dongchang Hutong. "
It is conceivable that Li Yuanhong will have a difficult time as president. As expected, Duan Qirui implemented a cabinet system, and the title of president was a false one. In Li Yuanhong's mind, the president should be like Lao Yuan, a "presidential system" similar to the United States. He does not accept a "virtual king".
Li Yuanhong served as the governor of the Hubei military and government government. He himself felt useless. Others also laughed at him as the "captain under the bed." It was ironic that during the Wuchang Uprising, he was captured from under the bed by the uprising personnel as the governor of Hubei in the Qing Dynasty. However, he reacted very quickly. When the whole army was leaderless, he suddenly transformed and became the "Capital Governor" who took power in Hubei after the uprising. This matter is both his shame and his qualifications.
“Then he really becomes the President of the Republic of China, and he also wants to make a difference. What do you want to do? Build the Republic of China in accordance with the legal system of government. He advocated expanding the powers of Congress to resist Duan Qirui's arbitrary actions.
Duan Qirui directed the research department under his command to oppose the inclusion of a provincial system in the constitution, and advocated reducing the power of Congress and changing the two houses into one house to cater to the autocratic self-interests of the Anhui warlords.
The differences between the two sides on issues such as the constitution-making of the Congress have become increasingly serious, causing the two to soon compete over political opinions. Because one side is the presidential office and the other side is the State Council, the battle between them is called the "fight between the offices and the government."
The first thing is that after Li Yuanhong became president, the Southern Protectorate Army asked, why did Yuan Shikai restore his power? There are "Thirteen Taibao" under him who support his restoration, and these "Thirteen Taibao" must be severely punished.
Li Yuanhong was just about to punish the "Thirteen Taibao", but he did not expect that the State Council came to plead for mercy: Please spare this paragraph of Zhigui; Li Hongzhang and his nephew also came to plead for mercy: Please spare Yan Fu and Liu Shipei; the Kuomintang also came to plead for mercy. : Let’s spare the two of us here. They don’t really support the restoration, they are all arranged undercovers
Zhang Zuolin, the only person outside Guan who could not get along with the others, was successfully "whitewashed" by Zhang Hanqing's performance, and all political factions came to plead for mercy. In the end, these people, including Yang Du, could not be punished, which meant that the matter was over. That’s it. Only then did Li Yuanhong realize that it was too difficult to deal with the various complex political factions at that time.agree.
There is nothing we can do about it. If we compromise now, the situation will only worsen and there will be little chance of a comeback. Therefore, even if Duan Qirui wanted to suppress him in the name of Congress, Li Yuanhong would not agree. What a joke, the Kuomintang and the local forces in the south are Li Yuanhong's support. The Kuomintang members have a large number of people in the Congress and have an absolute majority. They rely on voting to determine victory or defeat. Duan Qirui will definitely lose!
At this time, Duan Qirui thought of a way. He recruited all the governors from each province, that is, the military leaders of each province, and formed a military governor's army to go to Beijing, hoping to use external force to put pressure on President Li. There is no way, the research department, the Progressive Party and the Beiyang Governor-General are Duan Qirui's foundation. Since the Progressive Party's bills in Congress were repeatedly vetoed, Lao Duan could only work hard with a gun.
Now we need Lao Zhang! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 249 Preemptive Strike
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
After seizing Heilongjiang, Zhang Zuolin's power greatly expanded. The number of troops under his personal control expanded from one division to three divisions. He had to develop beyond Fengtian. Controlling Jilin became Zhang Zuolin's next goal. Before that, it is necessary to eliminate Feng Delin who is currently lying next to him.
And Lao Zhang has been drooling about the 28th Division.
Both division-level units, the 27th and 28th Divisions are one of the second batch of 11 divisions established after the Six Towns of Beiyang. They are the most well-equipped and best-trained national elite forces. For example, the establishment of the First Division of the Army in Heilongjiang is actually not in the Beiyang Army sequence. It can only be regarded as a local force at best. As for the Jilin Mixed Brigade, Yingshun's Fifth Cavalry Brigade, etc., they can only be regarded as miscellaneous troops. Counting the newly established 29th Division, the country only established 20 such Beiyang Divisions in the sixth year of the Republic of China.
If you can capture such a division, it will be a multiplier for Zhang Zuolin's strength. For this reason, Zhang Zuolin has always been unwilling to confront Feng Delin: no matter who is injured by two elite divisions, it will be an irreparable loss. Privately, Zhang Zuolin had always regarded the Twenty-Eighth Division as his own.
But with Feng Delin’s maturity, he had already sensed the crisis and wisely retreated to Beizhen when Zhang Zuolin opened his fangs. In this round, Zhang Zuolin got back one, but he had 28 divisions in hand, and no one could do anything to him!
really. Dealing with such a "Father of the Republic of China" who had made no serious mistakes and had elite soldiers at his disposal, Zhang Zuolin felt the pain of a dog biting a hedgehog with nowhere to bite. The Twenty-Eighth Master was lying in front of him like a beautiful woman whose body was stretched out, but he was restrained.
Zhang Hanqing knew what his father was thinking, so he comforted him by saying, "Father, is he interested in the 28th Division? In fact, don't worry too much. It won't take half a month. I guarantee that you can have a complete 28th Division without using a knife or a gun!"
Because Zhang Hanqing often made shocking words but often had extraordinary manifestations, Zhang Zuolin's words to him changed from childish words to hesitation and then to the master's advice. In fact, there was a certain change, but the time was too fast for him to feel it. As soon as he said this, the joy was no small matter. He suddenly asked: "Xiao Liuzi, do you have any good ideas?"
Zhang Hanqing now plays the role of military advisor in his mind. In terms of economic affairs, he is really better than Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang. Even Yang Yuting, the general counselor who has been with him for a long time, is gradually unable to compare.
Zhang Hanqing knows what happened next. Is Zhang Xun still on his way to Beijing? There will soon be a great chaos in Beijing, and a bunch of clowns will appear in front of and behind the horse. Feng Delin will secede from the military community. But he couldn't make it clear that it was not a prediction, but a prophecy. He could only say: "According to the information from the Feng Intelligence Bureau, there will be shocking changes in Beijing. That leader Zhang intends to help the little emperor to the altar again. I am urging the Feng Intelligence Bureau to provide Mr. Feng with certain information and convenience so that he can By actively meddling in this matter, and then trying to ruin his reputation, my father can take down the 28th Division without firing a shot."
Zhang Zuolin found his words unbelievable, but Zhang Hanqing insisted that there was no need to worry, and he would see the result soon: "Father, just wait patiently, the general trend has become overwhelming, and it is impossible for Master Feng not to fall into it." He smiled slyly: "Special Warfare The team has already set off for Tianjin, and if nothing goes wrong, good news will follow."
Zhang Zuolin asked: "But what about the special envoy sent by President Li?"
Zhang Hanqing said categorically: "The report rejects him!"
This special case was sent by Li Yuanhong for a simple reason: to win over.
Duan Qirui served as the Army Chief for seven consecutive terms in the Beijing government cabinet. His strength was very small. After Yuan Shikai's death, he also served as the Prime Minister and gradually became arbitrary. His first appointment upon taking office was to arrange Xu Shuzheng as Secretary-General of the State Council.
This is an important department and person who often interacts with the president! When Lao Yuan was here, Xu Shuzheng didn't show much restraint. Now that Duan Qirui is on stage, it's a pitfall that is very difficult to get around!
Li Yuanhong was originally the vice president and governor of Hubei, but his strength was greatly reduced after Yuan Shikai was transferred from Hubei. Although he was elected president after Yuan's death, he allowed Duan Qirui to do whatever he wanted and was called the "seal president." Li Yuanhong was furious and wanted to use his "constitutional power" to remove Duan Qirui, and Duan Qirui ordered the governors of his provinces to declare independence. The conflict between the president and the cabinet has deepened day by day, turning into a "fight between the government and the court."
During the dispute between the government and the imperial court, local officials watched the changes and acted as fence-sitters. Due to his lack of strength, Li Yuanhong has repeatedly fallen behind and is eager to find a strong team to back him up. He glanced at it for a long time, and also took a fancy to Zhang Zuolin - seeing that Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin were fighting in the same city, and Zhang was far superior to Feng Delin in terms of strength and reputation, so he had the idea of ????drawing together. He personally sent a special envoy to mediate and directly criticized Feng Delin for committing rebellion and betraying China.?, claiming that if this mediation fails again, it will be submitted to Congress for denunciation.
“If this presidential envoy had come a year, half a year, or two months earlier, Zhang Zuolin might have felt a sense of gratitude. But the timing has changed, and the situation has become quite favorable to him. This kind of icing on the cake is no longer painful for Lao Zhang.
Mom, what have you been doing? When I was forced into the palace by Feng Delin and was ridiculed by Fengtian people, I didn't see you reprimanding him at all. Now that Lao Feng has stayed in Beizhen and died down, what kind of evil are you doing? Xiao Liuzi is still holding the position of commander of the Guards Division with the rank of colonel. It is all thanks to your gift. This matter is not over yet. Besides, if you, a clay Bodhisattva, come to drain the muddy water of Fengtian, what help will it do to you!
The most important thing is that now is not the time to fight with Duan Qirui.
The battle for the "Fuyuan" will eventually be easily won by Duan Qirui, who has a large number of troops. Zhang Hanqing knows the history well and seizes this opportunity keenly. Nai's father clearly expressed his support for Duan Qirui in order to annex Feng Delin in the future. Can get support from Duan. At that time, the governor's army, which was planning to declare the independence of each province with the support of Duan Qirui, was holding a meeting in Xuzhou. Zhang Zuolin sent deputy chief Zhao Xigu to attend the meeting. He told Zhang Xun, who claimed to be the leader of the alliance, what had happened and repeatedly told him to be polite before fighting in the future. Lay the groundwork.
The first letter said: "In any case, Lin should wait patiently. If something unexpected happens and the sky is full of locusts, Lin will be treated accordingly. If there is any way to rely on my father's strength, I will call you again"
The second letter expressed the attitude of resorting to force even more openly. The letter says: "Shao Shuai Junjian: I have humiliated myself and asked for information. I admired the ancient friendship of Yin Quan, and my gratitude is beyond words. Zuolin and Feng Gechen have been together in adversity for ten years, and they have never lost their virtue. Now I will give you a detailed story. , the sudden move of throwing rocks into a well, the danger of people's hearts, can be sighing for three times, but we are trying to make ends meet, and the other party is meeting each other more and more. A few days ago, Feng returned to Beizhen, and Brigadier Tang also moved to Xinmin. From the surface, it seems that Let's return home for a while, but it has been proved by various recent situations that Feng (Delin) and Tang (Yulin) are actually integrated. After recent secret investigation reports, they actually sent their private gang to recruit bandits and transport weapons. They were not enough to make ends meet. It can be imagined. Now Zuolin has connected with the Central | Central Committee and stated the method. If the Central | Central Committee, in order to calm the trouble and calm people, will take Feng Bi as his position, Tang Ke will go with him, and Zuolin will not be demanding. If the Central | The central government also dislikes this assistant, and it may be difficult to find a position for a while. If they deliberately disrupt and ignore the overall situation, they will really force this place and eventually resort to force. Zuolin is like no other, but his heart is upright, and he has always been known to me. , as for the deep relationship and long-standing love between each other, it goes without saying. When the time comes to fight with the other generation, we can let it go if we are not strong enough. Fortunately, if we use our reputation and distance as a gesture, it will be enough to scare our courage. I will take care of his soul, knowing that I have something to offer him. The details will be presented by Zhao Zhongjun. I would like to express my sincere greetings to you."
Feng Delin also fell behind in winning the support of the central government: he was not as clear-cut as Zhang Zuolin in expressing his attitude as early as possible, and was appreciated by Duan Qirui; he also failed to attract the attention of Li Yuanhong's clique. At a time when the political struggle between the central and central government was raging, he was basically marginalized. When Zhang Zuolin successively exercised his power as a general and squeezed the development space of the 28th Division, he was unable to do anything and was walking on thin ice. In less than half a year, the situation reversed, and it was his turn to give in step by step without the ability to fight back.
He offended Prime Minister Duan Qirui's confidant Duan Zhigui first, and President Li Yuanhong was dissatisfied later. Feng Delin saw that the situation was not good, and retreated bravely, withdrawing his troops to Guangning. Zhang Zuolin, who had been patient for a long time, suddenly got out of hand. He took advantage of the fact that both the government and the academy were extending an olive branch to him, and he had the advantage of the right time, place, and people. It would not be Zhang Zuolin's style if he did not take advantage of the opportunity to exert force.
On May 28, the 6th year of the Republic of China, the Duan Cabinet invited the most noble mediator, Zhao Erxun, the highest military and political chief in Fengtian who had recruited Zhang and Feng's armies. This Cishuai Zhao took a third-class train to Fengtian.
General readers may not have a strong impression of him, but anyone who knows the "Twenty-Four Histories" knows that Zhao Erxun was the editor-in-chief of the "History of the Qing Dynasty" and had a high status in history. This man was an upright man with a clean spirit, and he was highly regarded by the public at the time: When he took office as the president of the Qing History Museum in the second year of the Republic of China, he took third-class trains from Jinan to Tianjin and from Tianjin to Beijing. He only took rickshaws and not cars in Beijing. Duan Qirui also wanted to use him to erase the hostility of the two powerful people outside the pass.
After Zhao Erxun arrived in Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin immediately made a special trip to express his determination for peace. The next day Zhao Erxun went to visit Feng. Because of his popularity, Meng Enyuan, the governor of Jilin, and Bao Guiqing, the governor of Heilongjiang, both sent their chiefs of staff to visit Zhao, and Zhao Nai convened a mediation meeting. But at this time, Zhang Zuolin had a huge advantage, and it was his turn not to reconcile. Naturally, mediation ultimately accomplishes nothing.
Zhang Zuolin was unforgiving when he gained power, but Feng Delin wanted to keep a low profile and was unavailable. He then exercised his power to remove Feng Delin from his position as assistant military affairs officer and remove the 28th Division's office in Fengtian.
Feng Delin was frustrated and retreated to Guangning (Beizhen). He was depressed and stuck to his countryside without doing anything. Because the military pay of his troops was stuck in Zhang Zuolin's hands, and many leading officers saw that the situation was over, they all wanted to waver. Feng Delin struggled all his life, but lost the trust of the President and Prime Minister of the Central Committee successively, and saw that it would eventually end in failure.

Although Duan Qirui is strong, he is not even inferior to Yuan Shikai.
“At least the provincial governors he wanted to take advantage of were not as effective as he imagined. These military governors were vague at first, why? Once war is declared and they are asked to fight, they are afraid of death and dare not go!
Duan Qirui had no choice but to say no. After we declare war, we just need to send some migrant workers to Europe to support us. You all listen to me. Seeing that Duan Qirui was in great power, these people all said yes and agreed. They collectively announced that they would put pressure on Li Yuanhong and agree to declare war. But Li Yuanhong maintained a rare toughness at this time and disagreed.
On May 1, the cabinet discussed the issue of declaring war on Germany. Anhui thugs Ni Sichong, Zhang Huaizhi, Meng Enyuan, Li Houji and other warlords broke into the meeting place. Ni Sichong also said in the name of the head of the military circle, "The governors-general of all provinces unanimously support the Prime Minister's policy towards Germany, and the government should immediately declare war on Germany!" Some people said that soldiers interfered in politics, but Fu Liangzuo defended: "Soldiers are also members of the people, and they should not How can expressing opinions on state affairs be said to be interfering in politics? Is it possible that the president is so afraid of the opinions of soldiers? Is there something wrong in his heart?"
There were only three cabinet members participating in the cabinet meeting: Chief of Navy Cheng Biguang, Chief of Justice Zhang Yaozeng, Chief of Agriculture and Commerce Gu Zhongxiu, but there was a large group of military personnel.
Under the coercion of the Governor's Army, the cabinet hurriedly approved the declaration of war against Germany. Duan Qirui wanted to strike while the iron was hot and use the Governor's Army to make Congress and the President surrender. He immediately led the cabinet members who attended the meeting that day to the Presidential Palace to ask Li Yuanhong for approval. On the same day, Japanese Minister to China Hayashi Gonsuke visited Li Yuanhong and threatened: "If Congress vetoes the proposal to join the war, the political situation will be in turmoil!"
Li Yuanhong finally passed it here, but there was a problem in Congress. Originally, it was not a big problem for Congress to pass the declaration of war. Tang Hualong and Liang Qichao had long been active among the members to support Duan Qirui, but Fu Liangzuo was not helpful in Congress.
A week later, Duan Qirui went to Congress to explain his policy towards Germany and accepted questioning. He flatly denied that there was a behind-the-scenes deal between China and Japan behind China's participation in the war, claiming that the declaration of war was based on the needs of justice. When the two chambers were about to discuss the declaration of war, people's groups from all over the country called in support of the declaration of war. There were also some "spontaneous" mass representatives in Beijing who strongly demanded a declaration of war against Germany. Duan Qirui was very satisfied when he heard this. Some telegrams from people's groups in other places were actually sent by Fu Liangzuo from the Beijing Telegraph Bureau.
On the afternoon of May 10, groups of "voluntary citizens" surrounded the House of Representatives building. They waved flags and shouted, distributed "petitions", and some even broke into the speaker's office and asked Tang Hualong to allow citizen representatives to attend the discussion.
The actions of the "Citizens' League" aroused the indignation of the members of the House of Representatives. They collectively walked out of the meeting in protest and prepared to leave the venue, so a riot broke out. Fu Liangzuo was eager for success, but it was self-defeating. Instead, Duan Qirui's declaration of war failed midway. The cabinet chiefs resigned one after another, leaving only a bare prime minister.
Duan Qirui decided to persevere. At this time, he urgently needed to strengthen his strength and decided to go his own way and ignore the opposition. While he was preparing new cabinet members, he also instructed some governors and representatives who were stranded in Beijing to continue to put pressure on Congress in an attempt to reopen the Congress and pass the declaration of war.
When President Li was about to lose his support, something happened.
The British newspaper (actually the English "Beijing News") revealed a secret, saying that Duan Qirui signed an agreement with the Japanese military government for a military loan of 100 million yuan. This matter has not passed Congress at all, but the Premier of the State Council dared to sign this agreement with Japan privately. Doesn't this mean colluding with Japan secretly? When this incident was revealed, Duan Qirui's reputation was discredited.
Duan Qirui’s testimony before Congress that there is no secret diplomacy between China and Japan is a complete lie! At this time, Li Yuanhong seized the opportunity. He changed his previous image of being weak and bullied, and took advantage of people's anti-parallel demands. With the support of Congress and the "yes backing" of the American minister, he suddenly straightened his back and slapped the table. , you have this matter? In the name of the President, I remove you from the positions of Prime Minister of the State Council and Chief of the Army!
On May 23, Li Yuanhong dictated a presidential decree to remove Duan Qirui from the post of Prime Minister and ordered Wu Tingfang to act as his deputy. Zhang Guogan, then Secretary-General of the Presidential Office, heard that Li Yuanhong wanted to be exempted from Duan, and was about to persuade him. Jin Shuiyan, who was standing next to him, rushed over, drew his pistol and pointed it at Zhang Guogan: "Don't speak! If you open your mouth, I'll beat you to death!"
Jin Shuiyan is the deputy chief of the army and Li Yuanhong's loyal supporter. Needless to say, Lao Li was determined to break up, and Duan Qirui was so angry that his nose became crooked again. Since the local forces in Beijing and Hebei were leaning towards Li Yuanhong, Duan Qirui went to Tianjin for safety reasons, which meant that he split with Li Yuanhong.
Zhang Zuolin seized the power during the trial and issued a "reconnaissance", criticized Li Yuanhong, praised Duan Qirui, asked Li Yuanhong to "dissolve Congress, re-appoint Prime Minister Duan to organize the cabinet", and threatened to "sever relations" with the Central Committee.
Zhang Zuolin is still upright! Even though he was a bandit, he said, "Every time he slaughters dogs for justice, he is a scholar with a negative heart." The original grudge against Zhang Zuolin disappeared. Not only that, Prime Minister Duan also felt that his previous mentality of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between Feng and Zhang was very improper, and he was very grateful for Zhang Zuolin's embrace, although he currently does not lack Zhang Zuolin. Some power. However, Zhang Zuolin is determined!
The Presidential Law of the Republic of China stipulates that you, the President, have no power to remove the Prime Minister of the State Council. I will fight against you! With the support of Zhang Zuolin behind him, Duan Qirui was also unambiguous and angrily led his troops to Tianjin, claiming that he would fight to Beijing.
According to the provisional agreement, the president has no power to remove the prime minister from office. Duan Qirui did not recognize Li Yuanhong’s dismissal order. President Li was helpless and was frightened by this matter. Why? He doesn't have an army in his hands. If he wants to fight a war, he has to finish it off.
President Lebanese, who was under threat, had no choice but to come up with the idea of ??borrowing troops to "quell the chaos." It just so happened that Zhang Xun in Xuzhou claimed to mediate the conflict between the two, which made Li Yuanhong in trouble overjoyed and agreed to Zhang Xun's "Braid Army" entering Beijing. But he didn't expect that he was rejecting the wolf with his front foot and welcoming the tiger with his back foot.
Zhang Xun is his old friend and is currently the patrol envoy of the Yangtze River and the governor of Anhui. As the only local warlord in China who remained openly loyal to the royal family after 1911, Zhang Xun, a Manchu relic, still had braids on the back of his head after entering the Republic of China. Not only that, all of the 5,000 soldiers under his command had braids, so his troops were known as the "Braid Army" and he was also honored as the "Braid Commander".
"Braided Commander" wore braids to show his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty. But Zhang Xun was a general of the Republic of China, and his subordinates were soldiers of the Republic of China. The Republic of China ordered them to cut their braids, but they insisted on not obeying them. Strictly speaking, this was an illegal act. When Yuan Shikai became the president of the Republic of China, he even had his hair cut off, but there was no way to deal with Zhang Xun. There was no punishment at all, not even a harsh word.
Zhang Xun was stationed in Yanzhou first and then Xuzhou. His soldiers were all farmers from southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu. They were tall and big. The area was poor, so serving as a soldier was a good place to go. However, such soldiers have conservative views. Everyone was happy when they heard that becoming Zhang Xun's soldiers didn't require them to cut off their braids. The braided soldiers look like monsters to outsiders, but they are all loyal to Zhang Xun.
He is also very popular. As early as when he took office as the governor of Anhui, he established the Beiyang Thirteen Provinces Alliance in Xuzhou and appointed himself as the leader. Warlords all like to go to Xuzhou for meetings, not because Xuzhou has beautiful scenery or because the prostitutes in Xuzhou are beautiful, but because Zhang Xun is willing to pay. Good food, good drinks, and good hospitality. Even if we spend a lot of money to find a chef from Shanghai and a theater troupe from Beijing, we still want everyone to eat well and have fun. Although the warlords are not short of money, there are also many stingy people. When they encounter such a big boss, everyone is happy to flatter them, and Zhang Xun also eats this flattery.
Cultural people, especially old-fashioned cultural people, also like him. Zhang Xun was a poor farm worker from the third generation and had no education. It was when he was living in society that he knew a few words. It is said that he was able to read "The Analects of Confucius" and write big characters. He has special respect for educated people. Famous literati in the late Qing Dynasty, such as Shen Zengzhi, Zheng Xiaoxu, Liu Tingchen, and Zhao Erxun, were all his predecessors who received courtesy. Zhang Xun especially likes to ask these people for advice. When they come to him for help when they have problems, he always helps them solve them. There is no question of remunerating people with poetry, wine and singing, but there is absolutely no problem with entertaining people with wine and meat. These people often lose their temper with Zhang Xun, but Zhang Xun has no temper. Of course, these people are all the old people who miss the Qing Dynasty, and they will inevitably have a subtle influence on his behavior.
Duan Qirui is fully capable of defeating Li Yuanhong, but that would cement his domineering reputation. Feng Guozhang and others only expressed verbal support, but actually took the opportunity to consolidate their territory with "independence". After all calculations, only Zhang Xun was the most enthusiastic about driving away Li Yuanhong. So he sent his confidant Xu Shuzheng to Xuzhou to negotiate terms.
Feng Guozhang’s representative Hu Siyuan, Duan Qirui’s representative Zeng Yujun, Cao Kun’s representative, Zhang Zuolin’s representative, etc. also arrived. They persuaded Zhang Xun to send troops to overthrow Li Yuanhong, support Feng Guozhang as president, and restore Duan Qirui as prime minister. Zhang Xun's secretary-general Wan Shengzhu proposed conditions: he could send troops to overthrow Li Yuanhong, but he required support for the restoration of the former Qing emperor Puyi.
This question is more principled. Everyone didn’t think about it and said nothing. Who would have thought that it was such a condition? It was Zhang Zuolin's representative, Zhang Huilin, who pulled Xu Shuzheng and Hu Siyuan out: "If the matter is urgent, you must obey the authority and agree first. Isn't it just five thousand people?"
This is the order Zhang Zuolin gave him according to Zhang Hanqing's wishes. Without Zhang Xun's restoration, Feng Delin would not have lost power, and there would be no unified Fengtian and future Fengxian. When it's time to "help", Zhang Hanqing will not be impersonal.
Zhang Xun has been obsessed with restoring the Qing Dynasty for a long time. Its Daotai Yamen was the birthplace of the restoration, and gathered together a large number of figures such as Kang Youwei, the leader of the royalist party, Yiichi Tanaka, the deputy chief of staff of the Japanese military ministry, members of the Black Dragon Society, and Ishimitsu Masaomi, the commander of the Japanese army stationed in Tianjin. It's just because the Beiyang government headed by Yuan Shikai is super powerful and has been made into a piece of iron by Yuan, so it can't get involved.

Chapter 252 Clown

In order to avoid being noticed, Zhang Xun deliberately brought Li Jingxi, the acting Prime Minister of the State Council who had just been appointed by Li Yuanhong, with him when he arrived in Tianjin, and the two went to Beijing together.
On the train, Li Jingxi saw Zhang Xun carrying a huge box and taking great care of it. It seemed that it contained extremely important items. He felt strange and asked Zhang Xun what was inside. Zhang Xun pretended to be mysterious and smiled without answering. Li Jingxi could not help but be curious and asked again and again. Zhang Xun then mysteriously whispered that inside were "boots, hats, robes, and feather tops (that is, official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty)." He said, "I haven't seen the young master for a long time. This time By the way, I went to the palace to pay my respects. You are also the first minister, why don’t you come with me to pay my respects?"
Li Jingxi thought to himself that I was the Prime Minister of the Republic of China, how could I go to see the deposed emperor of the previous dynasty, so he excused himself by saying that he did not bring official uniform. But Zhang Xun said seriously: "It doesn't matter. I have several copies here. I can lend you one when the time comes." Li Jingxi agreed casually because he was joking.
When they arrived in Beijing, Zhang Xunzhen was about to go to the palace to see Xuantong. Before leaving, he insisted on dragging Li Jingxi along. Li Jingxi felt that it was inconvenient, so he politely declined because he did not have official uniform. Zhang Xun was very dissatisfied. He casually took off the official hat on his head and put it on Li Jingxi's head. He also laughed and said, "What's wrong with Zhang Guan Li wearing it?" Finally, halfway through, Li Jingxi made an excuse. Run away.
By this time, everyone really didn’t expect Zhang Xun’s purpose of coming. Because he placed his army outside the city of Beijing and only brought a few guards into the city to show the outside world that he had no intention of revolting and was only here to persuade peace. Of course, in private, he also acted very frequently.
Like most wealthy men with status, Zhang Xun especially likes to listen to operas, so he invites artists from the capital to his home for a party. Firstly, he really likes them, and secondly, it’s just a cover.
Don’t tell me, his charm is not simple. Because he is generous, does not show off, and understands opera - he truly loves opera and also loves actors. Therefore, the four most famous actors and actresses in the Republic of China, and even the older generation Tan Xinpei and Sun Juxian all bought him. account. As long as he holds a meeting, anyone can come.
At this time, the Republic of China had been established for six years, and even the president had changed twice. Even if the restoration was successful, it would still need a group of supporters. So Zhang Xun went public in private in order to find supporters. For a time, the news in Beijing was very tense, and there were rumors in the streets and alleys that Zhang Xun was going to be restored.
"Now it seems that the restoration is just a matter of head-watering. No normal person would do this. It is to overthrow the country. Therefore, Zhang Xun certainly stinks in the history books.
But we have to go back to the times. At that time, the Qing Dynasty had only been destroyed for a few years, and there was always a market for constitutional monarchy. In the hearts of many people, they feel that a republic is not suitable for China's national conditions, and it may be feasible to retreat to the path of constitutional monarchy. The common people back then were actually not unhappy about having an emperor above them. Because of thousands of years of imperial tradition, everyone is used to it. Therefore, it is not surprising that on the day of restoration, the citizens of Beijing burst into joy and every household hung the dragon flag.
China’s historical narrative has always been guided by a progressive view of history, and imperial restoration is absolutely politically incorrect. Even if you just want a constitutional monarchy, it is treason and disrespectful to the world.
However, Zhang Xun is also self-aware and knows that with the 5,000 soldiers in his hand, there will be no problem in smooth sailing. If something unexpected happens, his small number of troops will not even be enough to guard more than a dozen city gates in Beijing, so he needs to find a group of "like-minded people" By. At this time, the "Zongshe Party" headed by Tieliang, a Manchu relic, took the opportunity to get in touch with Zhang Xun and wanted to help him.
To say that this "clan socialist party" is both annoying and ridiculous. After the Revolution of 1911, a small group of die-hard members of the Qing royal family who lost their positions of power, including Liangbi, Puwei, and Tieliang, conspired to form a "Constitutional Monarchy Maintenance Association" in order to restore their past glory and oppose the abdication of the Qing emperor and the revolutionary government. Negotiated peace in an attempt to preserve the rule of the Qing Dynasty. However, after the mainstay figure Liangbi was killed by Peng Jiazhen, the killer of the Beijing-Tianjin Alliance branch, the organization was scattered.
However, once people lose their power, their desire for it becomes even stronger. Three years later, as the Japanese government Okuma Shigenobu formed a cabinet for the second time and actively supported the Manchuria independence movement, the Soja Party was re-established in Japan, with its headquarters in Tokyo and a branch in Dalian. The main members include the former Prince Shanqi of Su, the former Prince Gong Puwei, the former Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu Shengyun, the former Mongolian nobles Babu Zabu and Fu Sheng'a, as well as the Japanese Kawashima Naniwa, Touyama Mitsuru, Yamada Osamu, and Ruo Hitaro and more than 30 people.
Prince Shanqi of Yuansu, who originally lived in Dalian, led the Dalian branch and jointly planned with Kawashima Naniwa and others to form the "Qinwang Army" of the Clan Socialist Party in March 1916 to prepare for an uprising in southern Liaoning. However, he was easily defeated by the young marshal and a group of student soldiers, which also earned him the reputation of the marshal as the "breasted tiger". With the death of Yuan Shikai in June 1916, Duan Qirui formed a cabinet, Japan's policy towards China changed, and King Qin's army was disbanded. Zhang Zuolin is becoming more and more powerful in FengtianStrength made them realize that the possibility of making any big movements and rebuilding the dynasty in the Northeast, the place where they were the "Longxing" of the Qing Dynasty, was greatly reduced. Given time, it would be almost impossible to restore the Qing Dynasty, and the clan and socialist parties fell into despair.
But when they got the news that Zhang Xun intended to restore power, these people were ready to make a desperate move. Yes, time does not wait for us. If we don't take action, the name of the Manchu royal family will really be thrown into the heap of history. The former princes, led by Zai Zhen, the eldest son of Prince Qing Yikuang, who was known as "only in but not out" and nicknamed "Iron Rooster", generously dispersed their wealth, took out property from foreign banks for future squandering, and prepared to send money to Japan. People purchased arms, reorganized the "King Qin Army", and strongly supported Zhang Xun's "righteous deeds."
Doesn’t Zhang Xun’s army lack firepower? We paid to buy cannons for him to defend the city! Isn’t his army underfunded? We provide subsidies to these "Loyal, Righteous and Diligent King's Army"! Doesn’t it cost money to recruit people to cheer? We help! ——As long as the Qing Empire can renew Long Zuo, all this money will be available in minutes.
It is ridiculous that when he first came to power, Zai Zhen and Minister Na Tong sold their official positions to make money. They were known as the "Qing Na Company" and acted as the grave diggers of the Qing Dynasty without any scruples. After so many years of suffering the loss of the country and the destruction of the family, he finally came to his senses. Without the Qing Dynasty, Prince Taqing would be nothing like a babe! After a lot of hard work, a group of Manchu elders raised a total of 1.8 million yuan, and Yinchang, then a senior adviser to the presidential office and known as the first Manchu general, was responsible for contacting Japanese arms dealers.
? 1.8 million yuan was a considerable amount at the time. It was enough to buy 66 aircraft, 30 cannons, or 200 machine guns, and could support the military expenditure of an army brigade for a year.
"Don't feel bad. China's thousands of years of GDP were all given to others in the late Qing Dynasty. Do you still care about this?"
Since the act of restoration was well known to everyone, in order to avoid long nights and nightmares, Kawashima Hayami and others in Tokyo used many means to effectively obtain the consent of the Japanese Army Ministry and prioritize the supply of a batch of weapons originally intended to arm the Kumamoto Division. "Zongshe". Arms dealers also demonstrated the efficiency of Japanese companies. After final confirmation, this batch of arms will be delivered in Tianjin in two weeks and then transported to Beijing by land to enhance Zhang Xun's power.
In order to obtain maximum support, Zhang Xun also focused on Feng Delin, who had lost power but still had strength, and suddenly called Feng Delin to Beijing. Feng Delin was worried that he could not get rid of Zhang Zuolin's pressing hand. He was also temporarily blinded by lard, and he was willing to gamble with his wealth and life. In his opinion, if Zhang Xun's restoration was successful, he would not have to worry about being conferred a title, returning to the Northeast with honor, and replacing him with Zhang Zuolin. By then, it would be easy to become a marquis, so why fear Zhang Zuolin, a Shengtian general?
Some people are happy and some are worried. The one who is worried is his eldest son Feng Yong, who also has the same name as Hanqing.
Feng Yong, who had personally experienced the bursting of the dazzling soap bubble when Lao Yuan became emperor, was very worried about his father embarking on a pirate ship again, and was not optimistic about Zhang Xun's so-called "restoration." He believed that the conflict between his father and Zhang Zuolin was a political disagreement that still needed to be discussed; but participating in the restoration would be a political setback, and he would be completely defeated by Zhang Zuolin.
He said to Feng Delin: "Father, it is better not to get involved in the restoration. It has been a republic for several years. Therefore, even a powerful person like the president cannot do it. What achievements can Zhang Xun achieve with just a few thousand people? It's all in vain." Gave a clue to that warlord!"
“But Lao Feng, who was possessed by ghosts, could no longer listen to others’ advice, and the situation forced him to do so. Rather than languishing under Zhang Zuolin's pressure, it is better to rise up and give it a try. He said helplessly to Feng Yong: "I am old and can no longer defeat Zhang Zuolin, and now I have been defeated by him openly. If I don't take this opportunity to make a move, when Duan Qirui becomes prime minister again, my life will be ruined." That’s the end.”
So he sent his confidant, Brigadier Zhang Haipeng, to lead an advance team of 200 people to go to Beijing to check on the news nearby. On June 20, Feng Delin arrived in Beijing in person under the escort of thirty guards. He immediately met with Zhang Xun and expressed his support for the restoration activities and his willingness to be loyal to him. Zhang Xun was very happy to have this strongman from outside the Pass join. He said proudly: "I feel much happier to have brother Gechen cheering for me. With great righteousness inside and strong support from outside, reviving the Qing Dynasty is just around the corner! Can I With this kind of vision, it will be a piece of cake for him to go to court and pay homage to the prime minister one day."
In order to strengthen his confidence, he revealed a piece of news to Feng Delin: Jilin Governor Meng Enyuan also supported the royal family.
Meng Enyuan also opposed Zhang Zuolin's expansion, because before and after the Republic of China, he, Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin were jointly known as the Three Great Masters outside Guanwai. Of course, he could not tolerate Zhang Zuolin becoming powerful. In line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Feng Delin felt that he had finally found a common language, so he tried his best to lure Meng Enyuan into the water. Firstly, he wanted to share the same hatred with him and Zhang Zuolin, and secondly, perhaps to provide more insurance for the seemingly mysterious restoration.
Secretly, Feng Delin entered the palace to pay homage to Emperor Xuantong with three bows and nine kowtows. Puyi rewarded him with "wearing a yellow mandarin jacket, riding a horse in the purple gold city, and the title of imperial guard with big claws".
This made Feng Delin firm up his position. In order to make the restoration force stronger, he sent electricity to his 28th Division and let the entire division enter the border at night. If this powerful force joins, although it is destined not to have a decisive effect, the corruption of Beijing city is very likely, and it will shatter Zhang Zuolin's idea of ??completely annexing the 28th Division!

As soon as Feng Delin left, the "Intelligence Bureau" detected the news and reported it to Zhang Zuolin.
Seeing that Feng Delin had indeed embarked on a path of no return according to Xiao Liuzi's analysis, he secretly shouted, "God help me." The 28th Division was leaderless, which was an excellent opportunity. Faced with this piece of fat, Zhang Zuolin was greedy and itchy.
Division commander Feng Delin and brigade commander Zhang Haipeng left, leaving another brigade commander Ji Jinchun and the eldest son Feng Yong in charge. As for Feng Yong, also known as a young marshal, his status in the army at this time was not the same as that of Zhang Hanqing, so Zhang Zuolin was not afraid.
What really needs attention is Ji Jinchun. He has worked his way up through the ranks of the 28th Division and has won the hearts of the military. Moreover, this person is relatively upright, and some of his ideas are not completely consistent with Feng Delin's. Otherwise, Feng Delin would not just arrange for Zhang Haipeng to participate in such an important thing as the restoration.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If Ji Jinchun is successfully persuaded and asked to lead his whole army to surrender, Feng Delin will surely not be in a great mood, knowing that his salary will be taken from the bottom of the cauldron, right? Zhang Zuolin thought so and said so. He held a secret meeting at the Governor's Office to discuss the handling of the 28th Division.
Yang Yuting advocates strong oppression. He believes that "Feng Delin's army is now outnumbered and the commander is absent. As long as he sends heavy troops to surround him, he will definitely be able to defeat him without fighting." His idea is very feasible, because as long as his own army does not attack them, the 28th Division will not dare to provoke him. If the polished division commander Feng Delin cannot mobilize the 28th Division, his role in Beijing will be extremely limited.
Zhang Jinghui prefers to use force to solve the problem. His qualifications under Zhang Zuolin were no less than those of Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang and others, so he was naturally very keen on the position of commander of the 28th Division. If the 28th Division is subdued peacefully, with Zhang Zuolin's usual methods, Ji Jinchun and others will be able to take care of them to stabilize the morale of the army, and then there will be nothing wrong with him.
Only by defeating the 28th Division by military means - which is completely possible as long as Zhang Zuolin is willing - will he have the opportunity to rebuild this division. He said: "Linge's opinion is naturally good, but it can only be a temporary measure and must be resolved afterwards. The 28th Division has followed Chenge for many years. The commander wants to use the first division's method to recruit us. I'm afraid it will be difficult. Heavy. My intention is still to fight, to defeat them directly. I am afraid of beating them, and then slowly adapt them, to rub them, to rub them. Shouldn’t it be up to the commander-in-chief’s will?”
Zhang Zuolin smiled and said: "Xu Wu, this is an idea once and for all." Of course Zhang Zuolin was not willing to fight in a hurry. If he wanted to do this, he would have done it long ago. However, he was influenced by Zhang Hanqing and allowed everyone to speak freely during meetings. In the words of Xiao Liuzi, "when everyone adds fuel, the flames will rise" and "braining together is always better than one person's idea."
Because Zhang Hanqing usually does this, this good style is now well followed in the Guard Division and the First Division. If Zhang Zuolin knew that Zhang Hanqing did this just because he was not very clear about some things in military and government affairs, and then used collective strength to help him learn from each other's strengths, I wonder what he would think? However, this has also formed a good habit, which is in line with the "centralization of cooking" advocated by Zhang Hanqing.
Zhang Zuolin also felt the advantages of this way of holding meetings while inspecting Zhang Hanqing's army, and he began to change the past decision-making style. He didn't want the effect to be very good. Some of the differences in the past were put under the table. Now everyone has something to talk about, which invisibly reduces the cost. It eliminates the smell of ** in the original execution process: everything has been said.
Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang and others either agreed with Yang Yuting, or approved of Zhang Jinghui, or made a few revisions based on their opinions, but they basically had the same idea: the opportunity was rare, and Feng Delin must be unable to command the 28th Division. At the critical moment, that is The use of force must also force the other party to be unable to enter the customs, leaving a glimmer of opportunity for future changes.
Zhang Hanqing, however, believed that the situation was not so serious. He proposed a method that was refreshing but has been tried repeatedly in history: beheading.
"With our current strength, it is not a problem to capture the 28th Division, but the difficulty lies in the poisoning of life after the war and the great changes in Fengtian. My father is to be blamed. Besides, the 28th Division and the 27th Division are both powerful outside the pass. In this way, we can kill 10,000 enemies. , the self-loss is definitely more than seven thousand.
In fact, it is very easy to arrest Brigadier Ji, because he is not as resistant to his father as Commander Feng. As long as his father allows him to come to Fengtian for a meeting as a military governor, he will still come because of the commander's orders—— After all, he is no more interested in showing off his seniority than Mr. Feng. If he comes, we can either use emotion or coerce him with orders: with emotion, he can completely subdue his subordinates; with orders, no one in the leaderless 28th Division can control the situation anyway. It will still listen to its commands, as long as it doesn't mess up, we'll be fine for the time being.
"If he doesn't come, my father has a good reputation. From now on, whether it's a fight or a siege, he will come according to our wishes." Anyway, as long as Feng Delin cannot control the army, we will defeat them one by one. The 28th Division under siege willSooner or later things will change. "
? It’s a very simple thing, isn’t it just to capture the thief first to capture the king? No one thought about military orders. In fact, Feng Delin had made too much trouble before and did not take Zhang Zuolin's position as military governor seriously. Zhang Hanqing was deeply immersed in this. He believed that other people in the 28th Division were not as qualified as Feng Delin, and their status was not as high as him. Others may not be able to do what Feng Delin can do, nor may they dare to do it. The Beiyang Army paid too much attention to the training of generals, but did not form a level-by-level agency mechanism like the armies of later generations. Once the group was leaderless, it was immediately defeated.
Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang both thought it was feasible. Even Yang Yuting also came around and admired the young marshal's psychological theory. Zhang Zuolin looked very proud when he saw his son excelling.
Zhang Hanqing’s economic and political brilliance has not affected the interests of many generals, so what he did in Fengtian did not cause much internal rejection. But military matters are not simple. Soldiers only admire one kind of people, and that is those who are capable. If you are incompetent, I will push you to sit in that position. If you cannot mobilize any soldiers at the critical moment, people will not listen to you.
His achievements in suppressing the bandits were actually cutting butter with a sickle, which was not a big deal. In fact, he spent a lot of money to promote Zhang Hanqing to the Guards Brigade and Guards Division. Even the First Division deliberately let Zhang Hanqing pick up the slack. This attitude of supporting his son It's already very distinct. It is one thing for Zhang Hanqing to be successful, but it is another thing for others to be convinced. In his ears, some people inevitably think that Zhang Hanqing is too young and may not be able to control the officers and soldiers.
Until he dismantled Xu Lanzhou's military power while talking and laughing, which made many people in the military world look at his methods with admiration; the reorganization of the First Division was surprisingly smooth without any resistance from within. Who would have known that Zhang Hanqing, political The efforts of the Ministry and the teaching team in this?
Now, Zhang Hanqing has shown a wisdom that is rarely seen among his peers. He is indeed a tiger father with no dog son (Lao Zhang still puts gold on his face). Are you going to beep in my ear again? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 254 Reminiscing about the past

As expected, Ji Jinchun only hesitated for a moment at Zhang Zuolin’s request for a meeting, and then replied that he would attend on time.
As a soldier with a pure background, he was already dissatisfied with Feng Delin's pretentious and vindictive behavior before, but it was just due to years of friendship. Now that Feng Delin has lost his wits and is willing to risk the disapproval of the world to carry out restoration, his political life will be over sooner or later, so he is strongly opposed to this matter.
"But Feng Delin had made up his mind. He had no choice but to wait anxiously for the situation to deteriorate further. Sometimes he also wonders, how would he get along with Zhang Zuolin if the incident happened and Zhang Zuolin used the country's justice to threaten him? Feng and Zhang were at odds with each other, but he had no ill intentions towards Zhang Zuolin and particularly appreciated Zhang Hanqing's performance. The Fengjun outside the Pass are one family, and a real fight is unimaginable. It is also doubtful whether he can control the army in a real fight, because many of his subordinates have various relationships with Zhang Zuolin openly and secretly. He knows it, but not Tell the truth.
Based on Zhang Zuolin's forbearance, he wanted to gather the entire 28th Division under his command, and he needed his own help. He also wanted to ask Zhang Zuolin face to face to see his attitude towards him. So when I received the notice, I already had an idea, that is, go.
But some people disagree.
Tang Yulin, who defected, did not want the two families to have contact with each other. The meeting at this point in time was nothing more than a discussion on how to capture the 28th Division. Based on his understanding of Zhang Zuolin, they were inseparable. If the 28th Division is gone, he won't even have a place to live.
So he said to the eldest son Feng Yong: "Han Qing, the eldest brother is not in the army, and the 28th Division is decided by Ji Jinchun. As you know, we have always been at odds with Zhang Zuolin. Isn't it inappropriate to hold a meeting at this time?" ? What if Zhang Zuolin detains him and uses it to threaten us? Or Ji Jinchun directly surrenders to the enemy and puts us all on the hook!"
Feng Yong was also beating the drum in his heart. Although he was in the army, he had no influence at all. All military orders were made by Ji Jinchun. He was also afraid that the army would be swallowed up by Zhang Zuolin. At that time, his father's foundation would be completely lost. So what if the restoration was successful? What's more, he is not optimistic about this matter. When the time comes, his father will not even have a way out!
So he said to Ji Jinchun: "Uncle Ji, now that my father is away, the 28th Division is decided by you. If you go to his place, what should we do if Zhang Zuolin has evil intentions?"
He said it very tactfully, but Ji Jinchun heard the implication clearly, because he was afraid that he would betray him. However, Lao Ji is a straightforward person and does not engage in nonsense. He said bluntly: "Having a meeting at this time is nothing more than that. I know this. It's just that the 28th Division is the country's army, and he is the governor. I don't listen. No. But I go to the meeting with only two ears. I will do things that are in line with my status. If I do things that are not in line with my status, I will wait for the division commander to decide when he comes back. As for personal threats, Yu Ting is not that serious, so there is no need for this. Worry."
Speaking of which, Feng Yong couldn't persuade him any more and could only watch him go.
Zhang Zuolin held great power and had many troops at his disposal. When he came to his territory as a "guest", Ji Jinchun only brought a platoon of guards with him. It's not that he is too big. In fact, no matter how many soldiers there are, it is useless. Instead of going to war, it is better to be single.
Zhang Zuolin held a grand welcome ceremony for him. Not only the heads of the 27th Division, but also the leading figures in Fengtian politics were present. Even though Ji Jinchun had been prepared for it, he was still a little surprised by such extraordinary treatment.
He held Ji Jinchun's hand and said to everyone: "I am at odds with Ge Chen, and everyone in Fengtian knows it, so some people said that I would take this opportunity to lure Haifeng to Fengtian, hold the emperor hostage to order the princes, and then bring him to Fengtian." The 28th Division is in hand! If it were someone else, I, Lao Zhang, might actually do this! But who is Haifeng? He is a famous and loyal man in Guandong! Even Ge Chen dared to hand over the 28th Division to him, so how could I? Are you in trouble with Zhonghou? The main reason for inviting you here this time is to have a drink and reminisce about old times, and also to mark out the defense areas of several troops to avoid conflicts in the future."
This is so cool! Even Zhang Hanqing despised him. Last night, several backbones of the Guard Division and the 27th Division were still on the map studying how to respond militarily if Ji Jinchun failed to come or if the 28th Division entered the border. Today, they took out the flowers on the knife.
His boldness made Ji Jinchun very defensive. From the beginning, he had bet that Zhang Zuolin would not do anything like Hongmen Banquet, and now he was finally relieved. He repeatedly said that he did not dare, and thanked Zhang Zuolin and said: "This banquet should be hosted by Mr. Ji and invite the governor and everyone! Thanks to Governor Zhang, Jin Chunsheng accepted it. The 27th and 28th Divisions were originally from the Fengtian lineage, what can I say? It’s easy to talk about. Ji came here to resolve the unhappiness of the past.”
Sun Liechen had already received the signal. He chuckled and said, "It's not that big of a deal. Besides, it's all between the teachers and elders. Our friendship cannot be changed." They were both from Green Forest, and their original relationship was very different. Not bad, just becauseThe two "teachers" Feng Delin and Zhang Zuolin became estranged due to the unhappiness between them.
Zhang Hanqing also said: "Yes, brothers are here after all the tribulations. Let's smile and grudge each other when we meet. Let's move forward hand in hand." He is the commander of the Guard Division. Although he is younger, he is the second best in the field. Due to the existence of Sun Liechen, of course Zhang Zuolin has left this class.
Ji Jinchun and Zhang Hanqing were old acquaintances. Seeing Zhang Hanqing's heroic spirit, he couldn't help saying with emotion: "In a flash, the young marshal has become a division commander in charge of tens of thousands of people. He is a tiger general and his reputation is well-deserved. The young marshal trains troops and suppresses bandits." , land reform, all have been done in an impressive way, my ears got calluses when I heard your name in Beizhen."
Zhang Zuolin smiled and said: "It's just nonsense. Fortunately, no big trouble happened." He pointed at Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen and others and said: "It's all because of their uncle's tolerance, otherwise Xiao Liuzi could do these things?"
Everyone laughed and said some modest words, then reminisced about old friendships, drank some wine, and had a good time.
Halfway through the banquet, Zhang Zuolin "mentioned" some of the defense zones between the two armies. He only "restrained the soldiers each, not to cause trouble, and notified the other side of major events in advance to avoid misjudgment." This is what it should be, and Ji Jinchun and Sun Liechen certainly said it was right.
Seeing that the pretext had been raised, Zhang Hanqing cut into the theme of the night: "Uncle Ji and Uncle Sun are well known to Xueliang. In this way, our people in Fengtian will be much more stable. But I heard that Feng Shibo has gone It is not a good sign that there is any kind of restoration in Beijing. After all, it is politics, and we soldiers cannot participate in it. Otherwise, if he wants to support the little emperor, his father supports the republic, and if there is a stalemate between two times, if a fight really breaks out, the people of Fengtian will not be able to participate. It’s a disaster.”
There are some things that are difficult for others to clarify, but he, a "junior", can easily explain them. Seeing Zhang Hanqing say this, everyone in the room is a smart person. Who doesn't know that Zhang Zuolin's meaning is in this? They all turned their attention to Ji Jinchun to see how he would answer.
Ji Jinchun had already made up his mind when he arrived. He chuckled and said, "The young marshal is right. Ji is a soldier and has never participated in politics. Master Feng has his own plans, and I can only follow the orders of the country." Before the restoration is decided, I can only help both sides, and the 28th Division will definitely maintain a neutral attitude."
What I want is your words! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 255 Autonomy

Ji Jinchun’s words are very correct, that is, no matter whether the restoration is successful or not, the 28th Division will support the country. As for whether the national system is a republic or a monarchy, he does not consider it. Although he held a discordant attitude, he actually voted against it. Everyone knows with their toes that without foreign aid, it would be strange for Zhang Xun's 5,000 men to achieve restoration alone.
Zhang Hanqing is well aware of this farce, and he has made great efforts for it. In order to light up the fire as soon as possible, Zhang Zuolin threatened Li Yuanhong by phone again on the 30th, saying that if he "wants to protect himself and does not have ambitions, he should lead the children of Liaodong to go straight to the capital." Wu Junsheng did not participate in this action against the Central Government due to illness. When Wu Yingzong was summoned to serve, the work was done and he did not object.
Regarding Li Yuanhong’s opposition and support for Duan Qirui, Zhang Zuolin not only paid lip service to it, but also put Duan Qirui’s proposal of “autonomy” for each province into practice.
In order to demonstrate to the Central Committee, he fabricated a list of soldiers who had left the Central Committee and invited Wu to sign, and Wu Junsheng also signed. Zhang then used this to send calls to various places, saying that the military circles in Feng Province were unanimous and there was no doubt about it. Although there is some sense of self-deception, but inadvertently, all the important people outside the customs are following Lao Zhang's lead.
This is the first time that Lao Zhang has emerged politically.
Although Li Yuanhong extended an olive branch, Zhang Zuolin, under the strong request of Zhang Hanqing, who was "well versed in history", continued to hold on to Duan Qirui's thigh, clearly energized Duan to oppose Li, and jointly announced the autonomy of Fengtian and Heilongjiang with Bao Guiqing.
The autonomy at that time was just a political signal: the "Southeast Mutual Protection" that opposed Cixi's declaration of war with the Eight Powers in the late Qing Dynasty was a form of autonomy so that the chaos in Beijing would not affect itself
When the Revolution of 1911 was successful, the provinces that were confused about the situation began to govern themselves. This not only showed loyalty to the Qing Dynasty - we did not take advantage of the situation, but also gave an explanation to the rebels - we did not help the evildoers This matter Zhang Zuolin did it;
The form used by the provincial governors who opposed Yuan Shikai when he became emperor was also autonomy. This was the plan of the already powerful governors to consolidate their status. As long as they were autonomous, the central government would not be able to control it. Naturally, the power of financial and personnel appointment and removal was delegated to the provinces Zhang Zuolin also did this;
Now, Lao Zhang once again raises the banner of "autonomy," but this time the autonomy will be more complete.
After autonomy, the work of each department in the province no longer corresponds to the national cabinet department, but is responsible to the provincial governor. The governor of Fengtian is Zhang Zuolin, which is nothing to say; but the governor of Heilongjiang Province is Bao Guiqing. Although he was promoted by Zhang Zuolin with a gun, but with such favorable resources, who knows whether he will support another Zhang Zuolin?
Because Bao Guiqing also serves as the governor of the Black Province.
Although this military governor has little power for the time being, and his two divisions are at Zhang Zuolin's disposal, Zhang Zuolin is still worried. Although the Black Province is small, Bao is also the nominal military and political leader, and he has great righteousness. However, because the black province also needs to be "autonomous", he can't interfere too much in name. Over time, it is inevitable that there will be evil moths, even though Bao Guiqing is Zhang Zuolin's son and daughter.
Knowing Zhang Zuolin's distress, Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "This problem is easy to handle. Didn't we separate military and political affairs before? At that time, we restricted military generals from interfering in politics. Now we still follow the principle of separation of military and political affairs, but the restriction is that senior political officials will not interfere. Military. It will become a common practice that the governor and governor of a province cannot serve at the same time. It would be fine if my father voluntarily resigned from the post of governor. With this attitude, what else can Governor Bao say? His governor and governor can only live in the same place. One of them, otherwise, I will mobilize public opinion and drown him with spittle."
Lao Zhang still believes in Zhang Hanqing’s ability. If he takes the lead in setting an example, Bao Guiqing will find it hard to be embarrassed to hold on to two positions due to the situation. However, between the governor and the provincial governor, which one would Lao Bao choose?
Moreover, I finally got the absolute power of Fengtian military and political. Now I suddenly take the initiative to let go. Will anyone take the opportunity to weaken themselves? Zhang Zuolin didn't think it was a big deal just to be the governor of Hei Province, but he still valued the governor of Fengtian. After all, this laid the foundation for his own business, and it was still a big deal to put such important resources in the hands of others. I'm very worried - are there any means of supervision?
Knowing his concerns, Zhang Hanqing raised his hand and said: "Father is afraid that he will not be able to control Heilongjiang Province after self-government, right? We can unite for 'autonomy' and just set up a 'Fenghei Autonomous Committee'. Father will give up Fengtian Province." As the chairman of this committee, he can legitimately control the governors of the two provinces. In the future, other provinces will do the same thing. Otherwise, my father will use his position as the governor of Fengtian to interfere in the affairs of the black province. There will always be excuses.
The situation inside and outside the customs is going through twists and turns. My father is concerned about the safety of the Northeast, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about trivial matters. Minyuan's drastic actions were very successful, and he was the perfect candidate to take over as the governor of Fengtian. In this way, his father could rest assured and be able to look at the problem from a high perspective, killing two birds with one stone. "
Minyuan is Wang Yongjiang, who is now Zhang Zuolin's most trusted confidant and capable candidate. He was very much in line with Zhang Hanqing's wishes for the reform of the military and police, so he relied heavily on Zhang Hanqing.
This method is good, both famous and practical. He looked at Zhang Hanqing, how could this kid have so many tricks, but every trick is so endearing!
So while Zhang Zuolin was pressing Li Yuanhong step by step, he was also intensively preparing for the "Fenghei Autonomous Committee". Needless to say, the entire structure is based on Zhang Hanqing's ideas.
This committee has specific business committees that correspond to various departments in the province. For example, both provinces have finance departments, financial departments (Heilongjiang’s structure is based on Fengtian), tax authorities, etc. How can they be unified and controlled? Just enlarge the original Fengtian Financial and Economic Committee into the Fenghei Financial and Economic Committee. The director of this committee actually does similar things to the ministers of the Central Committee, but he does not have the corresponding reputation. He only oversees the two provinces of Fengtian and Heilongjiang. specific business.
The same applies to the Fenghei Judicial Committee, the Fenghei Police Committee, the Fenghei Agricultural Committee, etc. Zhang Zuolin established more than a dozen joint committees under the "Autonomous Committee" to form a matrix management structure together with the governors of each province. The top level of this matrix is ??Zhang Zuolin, the chairman of the Fenghei Autonomous Committee. In the future, when they occupy more territory, these people will be the candidates for the future heads of departments. It can be regarded as cultivating talents in advance.
Of course, the directors of each committee are concurrently held by the current directors of various departments in Fengtian. Those who are close to Zhu are better. The business backbones in Fengtian control the affairs of Heilongjiang Province. As long as Zhang Zuolin seizes these committee directors, he will completely control the administrative power of Fengtian and Heilongjiang provinces.
However, Zhang Hanqing still found some real opportunities. Like the Department of Agriculture and Forestry, he used the excuse that agriculture is currently the basis of the Northeast economy and agriculture is closely related to water conservancy. Therefore, it is necessary to appoint someone who can simultaneously introduce capital and technology in agricultural water conservancy and understand his current situation. The leader of the Northeast's land reform spirit pushed Mo Dehui to the top administrative levels of Feng Province, serving concurrently as the director of the newly established Department of Agriculture and Department of Water Resources.
This position is not as lucrative as finance, police, finance, transportation and other departments. Most people do not realize that this is Zhang Hanqing making detours for his people. With the experience accumulated in this position, there is every opportunity to move to a unit of the same level in the future. After all, this is also a department-level unit. Unlike his job as director of the Fengtian Investment Promotion Bureau, he has too much power but little weight in the government.
This is also a little compensation from Lao Zhang for his son’s hard work.
After everything was decided, Zhang Zuolin solemnly sent a message to the outside world, expressing his resignation as governor of Fengtian, becoming the first military governor in the country to voluntarily not serve as governor, which shocked the country.
At that time, the powerful local factions all tried their best to obtain real military and political power. It was rare for someone like Zhang Zuolin to actively demand the delegation of power. First he gave up his concurrent position as commander of the 27th Division, and now he resigned as governor of Fengtian Province. Look at his ambition! Although everyone knows that Zhang Zuolin has three divisions of troops and is the military governor who has the most reliable control of power, this gesture has not failed to attract the attention of various factions advocating for dishonesty.
The direction of the wind has become clear, and Bao Guiqing must also make some statement. Since both of his divisions were subordinate to Zhang Zuolin, he had no interest in being the governor, so he told Zhang Zuolin that he wanted to resign as governor and full-time provincial governor.
This wind made Fengtian and Heilongjiang extremely lively. Qualified military and political officials threw stones at Zhang Zuolin asking for directions. After all, the Republic of China only had about twenty military governors. General Counselor Yang Yuting and 27th Division Commander Sun Liechen were all qualified. Zhang Jinghui, Zhang Zuolin's ally who had been his deputy when he started out, also felt that there was an opportunity. Even Wu Junsheng, who had just been promoted to commander of the 29th Division, came to visit Lao Zhang anxiously.
It’s not time to pick the fruits yet, now I want to share the spoils!
Zhang Zuoxiang smelled the signs, and he hurriedly said to Zhang Zuolin: "Commander, Governor Bao cannot resign from this position! None of our old guys are qualified enough. It is not good to forcefully recommend anyone, but it will hurt the harmony. And the Governor is The central government prohibits women, and the provincial governor of Heilongjiang Province is just empty-handed. Let's not look too ugly." This was a mature and prudent view, and his general knowledge made Zhang Zuolin admire him with admiration.
Zhang Hanqing also said to Zhang Zuolin: "Eighth Uncle's opinion is very pertinent. The provincial governor is elected by the people, so we can make a difference; the position of governor is appointed by the central government. No matter who we elect to office, it is easy for others to criticize us, and we still can't. "
After careful consideration, Zhang Zuolin also felt that it was not practical for Bao Guiqing to hold the actual administrative power, so let him sit in the position of governor. With Han Linchun and Wu Junsheng there, he would not be able to do anything. So he rejected Bao Guiqing's opinion: "The position of military governor is a national law and is appointed by the Central Committee. How can it be given up at will? Since Brother Tingjiu took charge of the black, the whole province has been stable and very popular. Even Han and Wu have repeatedly Discourage. In my brother’s opinion, it’s better not to mention this matter again.”
The implication is that the position of provincial governor must be given up. Bao Guiqing had no choice but to follow Zhang Zuolin's footsteps and quit his part-time job, but his footsteps were inevitably a little more dusty.
Who should give the vacated governor’s position? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??, it is impossible for him to do anything. So he rejected Bao Guiqing's opinion: "The position of military governor is a national law and is appointed by the Central Committee. How can it be given up at will?

The new poem shocked everyone. At this time, Xu Zhimo, the future poet representative of Crescent Society, was still studying at Peking University, Wen Yiduo was still working as his editor, Bian Zhilin was only seven years old, and Ai Qing, who was most taboo when Zhang Hanqing wrote this poem, was also only seven years old and had just read Jinshi Primary School
From then on, the young marshal was no longer the romantic young man who played with the world, but also had a flourishing literary talent. In the hearts of people in the capital, the "lecherous song" sung in the eight major alleys was nothing more than a temporary joke. Also, how can a young marshal who can write such a deep and touching poem compare with the ordinary romantic feelings?
What shocks the world about Zhang Hanqing's new-style poetry is not how good it is, but how advanced it is, so advanced that the world feels strange about it and finds it difficult to accept it, even though it sounds so disappointing. People feel profound. The atmosphere for appreciating it has not yet formed in this era. Only two years later, to be precise, two years later in official history, did the new style poetry officially shine its light. Now, newspapers just regard it as a piece of fabricated news, a piece of passion caused by Marshal Fengtian.
Just as Stephen Chow's "Westward Journey" became popular after Peking University students discovered its connotation a few years after its release, this seemingly inconspicuous new poem that should not cause waves was also discovered among a group of thoughtful people at Peking University. .
At this time, "New Youth" was only a comprehensive review publication, and it did not place much emphasis on creation. In addition to introducing the works of some European realist and other genre writers, the novels and poems published were all in classical Chinese. It was not until the beginning of the sixth year of the Republic of China that Li Dazhao published Hu Shi's "A Preliminary Discussion on Literary Reform" and Chen Duxiu's "On Literary Revolution", which officially launched the banner of "literary revolution".
By February of the seventh year of the Republic of China, "New Youth" published 8 vernacular poems by Hu Shi in Volume 2, Issue 6, which were the first batch of new vernacular poems to appear in the Chinese New Poetry Movement. However, because they are too "vernacular", these poems have their own significance in literary history, but their literary value is basically zero. Other authors Shen Yinmo and Liu Bannong also have no new ideas. They are basically still in an exploratory stage for the creation of new poems. Just because they strongly believe that vernacular Chinese has its advanced significance and can completely replace classical Chinese, they naturally have an urgent desire to attack the old-style poetry that occupies a huge place in classical Chinese.
The efforts in the initial stage of new poetry were to abolish the formal constraints of old-style poetry, advocate the inclusion of vernacular and common language in poetry, and express the poet's true feelings as the main content. Therefore, the new poetry was also called "vernacular poetry", "vernacular rhyme" and "Mandarin rhyme" at that time. But here and there, the new poems are not satisfactory. These heroes who have an important place in the history of Chinese literature - Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Qian Xuantong, Lu Xun, Hu Shi deeply believe in this idea and continue to fight for it, but this fumbling is too confusing. Anxious.
Zhang Hanqing’s poems are like lighting up a beacon for their wandering journey in the darkness. It turns out that new poems can be written like this, it turns out that new poems can be equally deep, emotional, and meaningful!
?????????????????????????????????"Facing the Sea, Flowers Falling and Blooming", Zhang Hanqing's first complete poem since his "debut", trying to study the origin, meaning and epoch-making clarion call of this new poem. Although they also revealed the past between him and the third lady of the Zhu family, it was finally defined as a love poem in a new style - but it did not hinder its greatness - it turns out that the new style poems can also be quite tactful when writing about hazy love!
Of course, it was not all applause, and the opposition was also quite loud. It was just that some conscientious literati were unwilling to criticize Zhang Hanqing too much because of his background in disaster relief when he wrote his poems. Another important reason is that Zhang Hanqing is a bureaucrat, not a scholar. Literati underestimate each other, that is, compared to their peers, it is not worth going to war for a poem that is half a play and half a scene. This is the attitude that many people do not refute after weighing it. In fact, this kind of neglect also shows that an attitude.
However, a great scholar who Zhang Hanqing admired very much in private expressed his opposition publicly. He was extremely dissatisfied with the spread of Zhang Hanqing's poems among the circles of literati who advocated the new culture. He sneered and said: "The new culture only uses newcomers who are still in their infancy to cover up their ignorance of Chinese studies. Now People don't know what they write, and the terms they use don't make sense. For example, let's talk about "reform" in new poetry. People in the past said "be good" and didn't say "reform". Since you are already a "good", why don't you "reform"? 'What? Do you want to change 'good' into 'prostitute'?"
This man is used to going against the trend. Even Yuan Shikai dared to scold him over and over again and even called him a "bastard". Why did he care about Zhang Hanqing? His direct attacks on new poetry were published in "Records of Chinese and Western Knowledge". Intimidated by his reputation for sophistry and his ability to scold, no one dared to face him head-on. Speaking of which, he is still the "mentor" of Zhang Hanqing who made him famous at Peking University.
Who is Zhang Hanqing? At this moment, he had no intention of being a disciple.Enlightenment. Respect is one thing, but refutation of literary theory is another. Even Aristotle once said, "I love my teacher, and I love the truth even more." This shows that the lack of clarification has existed in China and abroad since ancient times.
In his mind, he strongly agrees with what Wen Yuanning said in "A Thoughtful Common Man": "During his lifetime, Gu Hongming had already become a legendary figure; after his death, he may become a mythical figure. In fact, he was as different as He is not very different from the many people you meet every day now, he is just a naturally rebellious character."
He was not prepared to have a direct verbal spat with this scholarly geek, and that was not his strong suit, but he had to argue, not only for the New Culture Movement, but also for himself! He then shouted in the "Ta Kung Pao" from a distance. There was no direct confrontation, but he had the power to insinuate: "Xueliang has always expressed admiration for Mr. Gu's knowledge and his knowledge and theory of advocating China and suppressing foreign affairs. "Spring and Autumn Days" written by Mr. ”, we all admire you, then you should understand even more that the Spring and Autumn Period’s idea is to ‘inside China and outside the barbarians’. But you published an article in a barbarian newspaper, cursing us Chinese, which goes against the way you have always done, and you still Sir, please explain clearly?"
??Perhaps he said something crucial that went against the times. Anyway, Gu Hongming, who was known as a "literary fighter", rarely silenced his voice since then. Perhaps he thought that with his status, it would be useless to start a scolding with a petty bureaucrat like Zhang Hanqing. It is virtue for a disciple to respect his master and not dare to fight against him, but the master should also have some awareness.
????????????????????????????????????? However, a small episode, but the eyes of a group of people in the New Culture Movement were brightened. They had to know Zhang Hanqing's identity. Because of this, they urgently needed to recruit Zhang Hanqing into the group - the traditional power was too great. Zhang Hanqing has done his best for disaster relief. They know that universities in this era are not just sitting in their ivory towers doing their work. Zhang Hanqing's speech on disaster relief and his refreshing "Hymn to the Northeast" (the title of the song was not known at this time) all convinced them that this was a young man who did not stick to the old etiquette and could definitely become the star of "New Youth" represent. In addition, his status as a young commander is enough to double the power of the "New Culture" movement, which they believe is the direction of Chinese cultural development.
?This is also true.
They eagerly contacted Zhang Hanqing to inquire about his attitude on the matter.
The representative they sent was Qian Xuantong.
Qian Xuantong, who was refreshing and neat, with a bookish look on his face, together with those glasses, soon gave Zhang Hanqing a familiar feeling: campus life. Although he once quarreled with the opponent once when he was at Peking University, and he earned the reputation of "little madman", from an academic point of view, Zhang Hanqing respects him quite a bit.
He took the lead in proposing and drafting simplified Chinese characters, advocating the use of new punctuation marks, Arabic numerals, AD calendars, and horizontal writing of Chinese characters It can be said that the three major tasks of character reform after the founding of the People's Republic of China: simplifying Chinese characters, promoting Mandarin, and formulating and implementing the "Chinese Pinyin Plan." Qian Xuantong had done a lot of solid foundation work half a century ago, and he can be called the pioneer of writing reform. He is both a theoretician of the Mandarin Movement and a practitioner of language and writing work.
The time of “exchange” at Peking University was too short. Now, I finally have the opportunity to renew our relationship.
Qian Xuantong knows Zhang Hanqing to a certain extent——is it possible that he doesn't? An article titled "History of Shi's Lion Food" made him famous on the Peking University campus, and once made him doubt the extreme nature of the idea of ??canceling Chinese characters.
At the same time, the magnificent transformation from a dandy to a shrewd person in Beijing allowed many people who paid attention to see a far-sighted, responsible and resourceful young general. Then I heard that Fengtian’s military and political reforms, which shocked many observers, his establishment of a new type of army and successful suppression of bandits, and his new civil land reform, all aroused strong concern: both politics and military have performed well, this is Is this what a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old did?
But the facts are there, and the young marshal even wrote a touching new-style poem that made him feel like "heroes have emerged from youth since ancient times." Those who are capable can always do it. Seeing the trace of fatigue on Zhang Hanqing's heroic face due to the hard work of disaster relief in recent days, Qian Xuantong was deeply proud that the country has such talents.
Zhang Hanqing is not proud of this. This is what Qian Xuantong was worried about at first and is a problem that many young people have. Hearing that it was Qian Xuantong, Zhang Hanqing came forward to greet him very excitedly, without any air or arrogance of the young marshal.
"Professor Qian, I'm sorry to ask you to come here in person. I don't have any other place to sit here, so let's sit on the ground. I apologize for any negligence." This is a temporary straw shed to house the victims. There were no stools or tables, just a few straw-covered huts. Just now Zhang Hanqing was sitting on the ground like this.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT Outlet? Qian Xuantong thought in surprise as he watched a dozen other young and middle-aged people calmly stroking the grass on their buttocks. If this is really the case, then this kid is absolutely extraordinary! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Qian Xuantong thought in surprise, stroking the grass on his butt calmly.

Zhang Hanqing dares to be so sure because he is betting his treasure entirely on the people in the pass.
Based on the general trend of history and some of the preparations he has made for it, Zhang Xun has no reason not to do something. Zhang Hanqing's biggest move since time travel was to make visible progress in the rural areas of Northeast China, but it had little impact on the national situation.
With 5,000 men, Zhang Xun was able to drive from Xuzhou to Beijing without any obstacles. Under the banner of "mediating the disputes between the government and the government," the strength of the Anhui clique was on the one hand, and the Zhili clique and Li Yuanhong were on the other hand. And the idea of ??substitution is also key. Otherwise, there is no reason for him to "sit" through Shandong, the territory of the Anhui clique, and Hebei, the territory of the Zhili clique, so peacefully, all the way to the city of Beijing.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Outwardly, but you can use your toes to figure out, this hero who has been around in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China for decades, would launch a mutiny so easily? He would not act rashly until he could see how deep the water was.
The action plan has been decided long ago: go to Beijing to force Li Yuanhong to dissolve Congress as a condition for mediation, and wait for an opportunity for restoration. When Zhang Xun arrived in Tianjin, Li Yuanhong had already drafted an order and asked Acting Premier Wu Tingfang to countersign it, but he was refused. Wu is a member of the Kuomintang. Of course, he must maintain his reputation and cannot cut his own way out. After all, the Kuomintang It also depends on the control of Congress to retain political influence.
Then Jiang Chaozong, then the commander of the infantry, became the acting prime minister on June 12, and then countersigned the order in spite of the public disapproval. This led to the dissolution of the National Assembly of the Republic of China for the second time since Yuan Shikai became emperor, and public opinion was in an uproar. Members of Congress who had taken refuge in Shanghai at the time issued a joint telegram to oppose Jiang Chaozong's decision on the grounds that he could not serve as acting prime minister because he was not a cabinet member.
" Such an obvious political failure was not only invisible to Jiang Chaozong, but also to Feng Delin who was watching. Instead, he thought an opportunity had come. When Jiang Chaozong first became acting prime minister, he brought his eldest son Feng Yong with him and once again stepped onto the threshold of the Jiang family.
Speaking of which, since the two elders made an appointment to marry Qin and Jin the year before last, many things happened in the middle, which seriously affected the smooth progress of the wedding. First, the Hongxian monarchy ended in farce, and Jiang Chaozong was also wanted. This shattered Feng Delin's dream of using the Jiang family to improve his status. Naturally, this further enthusiasm was suspended.
Now, Jiang Chaozong has become the acting prime minister. Although Zhang Hanqing, who knows the history of the Republic of China, knows that he is just a passer-by, Feng Delin doesn't know that and thinks he has caught a good opportunity: in the future, if his in-law prime minister sits in the court, let's see what Zhang Zuolin does. A single family? He even couldn't wait to finalize the marriage between the two families.
During the Republic of China, the alliance between powerful powers was over. For example, Yuan Shikai, Li Yuanhong, and Sun Baoqi (former Prime Minister of the State) were in-laws. His eldest son Yuan Keding’s wife was the daughter of Hubei Governor Wang Zhanyuan, and his adopted daughter married Duan Qirui; Zhang Zuolin's relatives include Bao Guiqing, Song Wenyu, etc.
Jiang Chaozong was deeply pleased with the arrival of this strong man from outside the Pass, and he was very fond of the young and handsome Feng Yong. Would it be a difference if he and Zhang Hanqing were both called the two handsome guys from outside the Pass? Feng Delin came with a shy face, so he agreed with a smile. Could it be that Commander Feng Yong really blindfolded him? of course not! Politicians would not judge people by their appearance like this. There are two reasons why Jiang Chaozong was so happy.
One is Feng Delin’s military power, which is the biggest reliance on political struggle in troubled times. Feng Delin wanted to take advantage of Jiang Chaozong, so why didn't the latter do the same? Within the pass of Beizhen, we will arrive in the morning and evening.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? but Jiang Chaozong’s daughter Jiang ** is not good-looking, of course, this is an implicit statement. In Beijing, those who could rival Jiang Chaozong would not marry him through marriage, because Jiang Chaozong had lost power since Lao Yuan's death. Now that Feng Delin, the strongman outside the border, has taken the initiative to show his kindness, what can he do? With this in-laws, he also has psychological comfort in the position of prime minister, right?
So the two families happily exchanged birthday notes, which was regarded as a marriage appointment. Because it was an impromptu motion, it was hard to avoid feeling that it was too hasty. Jiang Chaozong also temporarily invited a few capable officials and friends from the government to spend an apparently decent evening. As a result, rumors spread in Beijing official circles that the two parties had entered into an in-law agreement for their children. news.
" Of course Feng Yong, who is arrogant and arrogant, is not willing to do this. He and Zhang Hanqing were born in the same year, had the same name as Hanqing, were both talented and handsome, and had the same glorious family background. As long as you are willing, there will naturally be countless beautiful women who will join you like moths to the flame. Who wants to sleep with someone who is mediocre in appearance or even called a girl without salt? However, although he always had his own ideas, he always respected his father. In front of outsiders, Feng Yong would not object to what he promised.
On the way back to his residence, Feng Yong was very dissatisfied with the marriage, but Feng Delin comforted him and said: "To marry a virtuous wife, as long as the family background and character are decent, it doesn't matter about beauty or ugliness, as long as I can be a father." The top spot in Fengtian City, at that time, you can no longerIt doesn’t matter how many beauties you marry. In the Republic of China, there are no restrictions on concubinage. "
It seems that the strong men outside the customs all have the same understanding of marriage. This is what Zhang Zuolin told Zhang Hanqing at the beginning. Fortunately, it was finally proven that Fengzhi was not a village girl, or at least a very good-looking village girl. Otherwise, Zhang Hanqing would regret it for the rest of his life.
However, Jiang's appearance was completely different from Fengzhi's. The most deplorable thing in history is that Feng Delin could not become Fengtian King in his entire life, so he was wronged for more than ten years when Feng Yong was the youngest. I guess this is also the most depressing thing in Feng Yong's life, right? A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold. For the Feng family, who was born as a bandit, an engagement is an engagement, and they will never regret it.
But what was destined to be a miscalculation was that Jiang Chaozong was opposed by many parties and only served as acting prime minister for 12 days before stepping down in despair. It is difficult to adapt to falling from the top to the mortal world all at once, so as soon as Zhang Xun sent someone to contact him about restoration, he hurriedly expressed his agreement - he was hoping to gain support and rise again. In order to make himself more important, Jiang Chaozong also spared no effort to persuade Feng Delin to participate. In his opinion, with Zhang Xun's morality and Feng Delin's strength, he is full of confidence.
Zhang Xun did not refuse anyone who came, and he happily granted Feng Delin an official title, saying that as long as he could firmly support him, a governor of the three northeastern provinces would not be able to escape afterwards. Feng Delin was also blinded by the glorious prospect, and also strongly supported his future in-laws, saying that he would personally express his stance with actions.
The Braided Army arrived in Beijing on the 14th, but they have not taken any action for many days. At that time, they were worried that the Congress was still there and the legal status of the Republic of China had not been shaken. Although Jiang Chaozong served as prime minister for a very short time, he did a "good thing": he terminated the existence of Congress. Now, as long as Li Yuanhong, the fictitious president, agrees to resign, everything will fall into place.
Zhang Xun was ambitious, and many people endorsed his decision to oust Li Yuanhong from power: Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Cao Kun, and Zhang Zuolin all sent representatives to contact him in advance. Anhui, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, and Feng , Zhejiang, and Fujian also successively declared independence to show their support. However, when Beijing contacted the "old friends", those old friends were very enthusiastic about expelling Li Yuanhong, but most of them were silent about the restoration or ignored it. This made Zhang Xun a little confused and thought they were doing it for the sake of face. It’s not convenient to come forward to support.
After more than ten days of preparation, Zhang Xun finally couldn't hold it any longer. On June 30, he finally waited until Zhang Zuolin's "ultimatum" message was sent. He believed that this was support for his plan, so he felt that the time had come. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, he decided to start immediately.
It was already late at this time, and he was still inviting famous actors to sing at the Jiangxi Guild Hall. Because he had made a temporary proposal to enter the palace in the evening to invite Puyi to come out for restoration, so in order to have some free time to enjoy his entertainment, he temporarily brought the life of Mei Lanfang, with whom he had the best friendship, The finale has been moved to the front. After listening to Mei Lanfang's play, he ordered his troops to secretly move to positions outside Beijing and make temporary plans. In fact, there is nothing to do, just give orders - the specific action plan has already been decided, just waiting for orders.
He didn’t return to his apartment until 12 o’clock at night. At the same time, staff officers in his headquarters came in and out, making frequent deployments; counselors and staff were listening to the speech of Kang Youwei, the leader of the royalist party. According to the plan, he will use a surprise attack to capture the thieves first and capture the king first, so as to solve the brains of the Beijing garrison.
So he arranged an order for his "braided soldiers" to "invite" the temporary garrison commander-in-chief of Beijing and Tianjin Wang Shizhen, deputy commanders Jiang Chaozong and Chen Guangyuan, and the director of the Beijing Police Department Wu Binghu overnight, and suddenly announced: "This commander-in-chief will lead the troops this time." I came to Beijing not to mediate with someone, but to restore the emperor to the throne and restore the Qing Dynasty." Then he told everyone that this evening, he had entered the palace to meet the emperor, held an "imperial meeting", and decided to ask the emperor to restore his throne tomorrow morning. . After the discussion, he asked sharply: "What do you think?"
Wang, Jiang, Chen and Wu were frightened by this sudden incident. Wang Shizhen bravely asked: "Have the provinces and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacted you?" Zhang Xun replied: "The diplomacy is indeed sure. Feng Guozhang and Lu Rongting both expressed their approval and sent messages to urge them. The provincial governors also unanimously supported it."
Jiang Chaozong knew the inside story and immediately agreed, while Wang Shizhen and others were silent. Zhang Xun said again: "I am determined to do it. If you agree, then open the city gate and let my troops in. Otherwise, please go back to your arrangements and fight to the death!" Wang Shizhen and others looked at each other, not daring to say anything more, and could only acquiesce.
Zhang Xun then ordered the city gates to be opened, and all 5,000 "braided soldiers" entered the city. Then, Zhang Xun put on a blue gauze robe, a yellow mandarin jacket, and a red crown with flower feathers, and led Kang Youwei, Wang Shizhen, Jiang Chaozong, Chen Guangyuan, and Wu Bingxiang civil and military officials into the palace by car. It was already early morning.
Having received the news, the last emperor Puyi, under the protection of concubines Jin and Yu, Taibao Shixu, master Chen Baochen and others, came to Yangxin Hall to summon Zhang Xun and others. Puyi, who had abdicated for five and a half years, had no feelings about being the emperor again. After all, he was only 12 years old now, but all the emperor's teachers, mazai and supporters were excited, and some even cried with joy. When Zhang Xun saw the young emperor sitting on the dragon chair, he immediately threw off his horseshoe sleeves, led everyone to prostrate on the ground, and knelt three times and kowtowed to Puyi.
It was around 3 o'clock in the morning.

Tianjin Port, evening.
Yinchang waited with uneasiness for a giant ship to dock in the distance. He disguised himself as a businessman, and was surrounded by loyal bannermen from various royal palaces, all dressed as porters. They are just like the countless hard workers in Tianjin Port who work hard to support their families, and they are inconspicuous among the crowd. If something can make people feel slightly uncomfortable, it is that the braids left by the group are too natural, which is obviously caused by long-term "influence". However, it is not surprising. After all, the Republic of China was not long ago, and there are many old and young people. They all refused to cut their braids, even Wang Guowei, a master of traditional Chinese culture, kept them.
But the only thing that makes people suspicious is the pigtails. Because they have to do hard work, it is extremely inconvenient to have pigtails. Therefore, at least in the dockworker industry, there are very few people with pigtails, let alone this group of people.
Liu Duoquan, the head of Tianjin Station of the Intelligence Bureau, has already been ordered to keep an eye on these unusual people. Tianjin is a very important stop for the Feng Intelligence Bureau in the customs, comparable to Beijing. The Feng Intelligence Bureau has been working here for a whole year and has initially established corresponding intelligence collection sources and transmission channels. Of course, Gao Jiyi personally informed him of the news that the "Zongshe Party" purchased arms from the Japanese and asked him to find out "at all costs" the specific time, place and method of the arms coming to Tianjin.
Because this batch of arms is very important to Zhang Hanqing and even Zhang Zuolin.
It is the artillery that the army urgently needs.
Before tanks appeared, artillery was truly the king of land warfare. Even tanks are just highly motorized artillery. Since the international arms embargo agreement was implemented against China in 1915, the channels for the Beiyang Army to obtain advanced technology, especially weapons, from abroad were closed.
The troops affiliated to the Central Committee are better off. They can continue to obtain domestically produced artillery, but the Fengjun army, which has gradually become a stepmother, will inevitably be affected.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????… Dating back to 1903, the Beiyang New Army was equipped with six advanced German-made Krupp retreat-type 14x75mm mountain guns. It was the most advanced mountain gun in the world at that time. After rigorous testing, the gun's performance was very powerful, and 72 more guns were subsequently added to the first six towns in Beiyang.
In 1905, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration copied the artillery and finally successfully produced it. Of course, there was still a certain gap between it and the original factory, which was determined by the industrial level. The gun carriage is a two-wheeled and single-legged type. The total weight of the column is 405 kilograms. It is carried by four horses or pulled by one horse, and has a range of four kilometers. Except for the recoil spring, the most advanced component at the time, which was purchased from the United States, all other components were made by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration! However, because it is relatively advanced, the annual output is only six doors.
It was improved in 1913 and later had several names. It was generally called the Shanghai-made Krupp 75mm mountain gun, or the Huk 75 mountain gun for short. Together with the nearly 500 previously imitated mountain cannons, they became an important striking force for the armies of various factions in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. At that time, the 27th Division was allocated 18 guns - just enough to form an artillery battalion. Being able to get this share of the pie was thanks to the fact that the 27th Division was still considered a veteran of the Beiyang army.
For the Beiyang Army, mountain artillery is even more important than field artillery. Because most of the Beiyang Army is light infantry, artillery is mainly used for infantry fire support, so it is very important that artillery can keep up with the speed of infantry. At that time, the road condition in China was very poor. In many places, there were no roads at all, only dirt roads, small roads, and mountain roads. In this kind of terrain, field artillery cannot exert its power, because it is basically impossible to rely on mules and horses to drag in this kind of terrain. Therefore, a mountain cannon that can be broken into several parts and carried on the backs of mules, horses or even soldiers is an excellent weapon.
Several years passed in a flash, and the Twenty-seventh Division still had this little wealth, so it only made some sporadic purchases. However, the world's military has undergone tremendous changes. This kind of mountain artillery, which was relatively advanced at the beginning, soon became outdated. Although when it was developing the world's most sophisticated artillery, it claimed to have "all the advanced artillery design concepts in half a century."
Artillery is different from other arms. Artillery with backward performance is worse than no artillery. Artillery that is far inferior to the enemy has little effect in actual combat. Instead, it wastes a lot of logistical supplies and military resources, and the gain outweighs the loss. The 27th Division had to guard against the Japanese. In 1908, Shimakawa Bunhachiro designed a new cannon, the Type 41 mountain cannon, which was superior in performance to the same type of mountain cannon made in Shanghai.
Due to its good accuracy, the Type 41 mountain gun is easy to disassemble and assemble. It is very light (540 kg) and can be pushed and moved by two soldiers. It is highly maneuverable and easy to use in various terrains. Its performance is better than the Huke 75 mountain gun. . The gun later became popular among the Northeastern Army and other tribes in North China, and was copied by various arsenals in the Republic of China, which was considered fruitful.
Due to the limitations of Japan’s industrial strength, such new artillery cannot be equipped with brigades and regiments for use. This is also the core of the division-level support artillery that has just been decided.It was not issued to all regiments until 1934, seven years later, to directly support the infantry. Comparing the mountain artillery in various countries during World War I, at this time it was only used by artillery companies directly under ordinary infantry regiments. Their infantry divisions were already equipped with 75 to 105 mm ** guns. It can be seen that Japan's army strength is not at the same level as the European powers. Of course, China should not get involved.
The Zongshe Party members knew that Zhang Xun had fewer soldiers. In order to give a boost to the restoration, the focus of arms procurement was on this new type of artillery with excellent performance. Of course, Japan also provided strong assistance, and a batch of Type 41 mountain artillery that had not yet been armed to the Class A divisions was supplied to them on priority.
Because the performance of this kind of artillery is far superior to that of the Huk 75 mountain gun, the Japanese military circles have also exaggerated it, making arms procurement that should have been kept confidential become transparent. This body of Zhang Hanqing had some contacts in the Japanese military circles before. He generally knew about this matter. If the Intelligence Bureau did not pay attention to it, it would be a serious dereliction of duty.
According to the price of 40,000 yuan per gun, Yinchang arranged for Prince Su's son Xiande in Japan to purchase 30 guns and load them on the ship together with 6,000 rounds of artillery shells. They planned to dock secretly in Tianjin and then transfer them by boat through the Haihe River. The canal enters Beijing. To prevent any eventuality, the Japanese garrison in China sent a squadron to escort them. Because of the treaty, Japanese soldiers were dressed in plain clothes and patrolling at a distance.
Originally, when the concessions of various countries were first established, they did not have the right to station troops, but the "Xin Chou Treaty" gave the great powers this right. Under the pretext of protecting the safety of their embassies, consulates and their own nationals, the major powers of various countries stipulated in Article 3 of the "Xinchou Treaty" with the Qing government that "the imperialist powers can station themselves in 12 places along the railway from Shanhaiguan to Beijing. army". As a result, various countries officially began to station troops in China.
The Japanese army came to Tianjin in 1901 and was initially stationed in the British Concession. In 1900, the Boxer Rebellion occurred, and the Japanese army participated in the Eight-Nation Allied Forces' attack on Tianjin. The Japanese Major General Fukushima Yasumasa led the Second Infantry Battalion to attack the city first, and broke through the Haiguang Temple located near the barracks, reaching the south gate of Tianjin Old City. After the signing of the "Xinchou Treaty", Japan placed Haiguang Temple within the Japanese Concession.
At that time, the dormitories of the Japanese garrison were "clean and well-organized, especially the barracks in Changli, which were the best among all countries" and were able to maintain good hygiene. In 1912, four barracks and ancillary buildings were built to accommodate a wartime infantry brigade. At the same time, the Tianjin Infantry and Gendarmerie Corps and Military Hospital also laid tap water pipes to facilitate soldiers' use of water for cooking and bathing. The uniforms are mainly brought by the troops to which they belong. The polished rice eaten by the soldiers and the oats and barley needed by Ma Liang are directly transported from the mainland of Japan. Other deficiencies will be solved now. In particular, the wheat straw and hay needed for the war horses are purchased directly from the local area.
In May 1913, due to the increase in dispatched troops, the commander of the China Garrison Army, Sato Kojiro, requested the Minister of War to increase funds and build temporary barracks to accommodate the newly dispatched officers. On September 2, 1913, it was reported to the Japanese Army Ministry that the Kaikoji Barracks used stoves for heating in winter. Since the ashes were buried underground, fires were prone to occur. It was hoped that a special ash disposal site could be built. In 1917, the Haiguangji Barracks applied for funds from the Ministry of War for renovation on the grounds that the bathhouse was in disrepair and the entrance was narrow with nowhere to place shoes.
This is a permanent rhythm.
Also because of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces entering Beijing, the great powers stationed troops in 12 places from Beijing to Shanhaiguan. Within Shanhaiguan, the Beijing-Fenghuang Line may be cut off by foreign powers at any time. This made Zhang Zuolin, who wanted to develop within the Pass, a lot of scruples. Of course, it was also one of the reasons why he was able to form his own entity - the Central Committee was also beyond its reach. Because of the fact that the Beijing-Fengcheng Line is jointly "managed" by multiple countries, this artery has always been calm and unaffected by the political situation.
But one day, the peace was broken. Passengers who often take this line noticed something unusual: the Beijing-Fengcheng Line was paralyzed. At Fengtian Station, they were informed that because of the crusade against Zhang Xun, all trains bound for Guannei had been temporarily requisitioned. Then, heavily armed officers and soldiers boarded one train after another, and when they were full, they headed south.
But people on other sites are weird. what happened? Even when the White Russians and the Japanese were fighting, there had never been such a hard-to-get vote on the Beijing-Fenghuang Line. You must know that the Beijing-Fengcheng Line is a "safe" line jointly guaranteed by all countries. Why is the Chinese army so, well, how should I say, arrogant?
Some people have the audacity to question the legality of this move. Also, with the Republic of China, the people's wisdom has broadened, and the concept of pan cooking has sprouted in some people's minds. The Guards Division requisitioned the train in the name of revolting against rebellion. I heard that Zhang Xun was restored. Just restore Zhang Xun. He was the emperor to begin with, wasn't he forced out by President Yuan? Even Lao Yuan wants to be emperor, what's wrong with him returning to Longting? But the newspapers haven’t heard about this? Let me get in the car first!
"These words are just words after all. Facing the armed and well-organized army, we can only express our complaints in private." But who is this army? The temperament feels very different!

Chapter 261 Jinmen Storm
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
An insider came over and said, "This is the Guard Division led by the young marshal. What do you think?"
The Guard Brigade was once the pride of Fengtian people. This new and well-disciplined army gave Fengtian people a great feeling, and it has become a business card of Fengtian. If you are sensible, that person will say: "It is indeed well-deserved," and then everyone will be happy; otherwise, after the slightest insult, you will definitely be greeted by an old fist. Even if I give you a few words that I don't like, a roll of eyes is inevitable.
It is said that the person who responded fastest to Zhang Xun's restoration was not Duan Qirui or Sun Yixian, but Zhang Hanqing, the Fengtian marshal who still had no place in the political arena of the Republic of China. On the day of the Restoration, Li Dazhao, a professor at Peking University, left Beijing angrily and went south to Shanghai. Lu Xun, who was working in the Ministry of Education at the time, went to the Ministry of Education in the rain to resign in protest. Unfortunately, they were all literary men, and their spittle could not drown out the obsessive people in the government. . Only Zhang Hanqing's guard division had arrived at Shanhaiguan at the time when Zhang Xun announced his restoration and China and foreign countries were inexplicable.
The "Braid Army"'s small number is its Achilles' heel, which is why the Zong Socialist Party is determined to make up for its shortcomings with firepower. Yinchang mobilized all his connections in Beijing and Tianjin to deliver these important artillery pieces to Zhang Xun before the troops arrived. Due to time constraints, by the time the cargo ship arrived in Tianjin, it was already the eve of restoration. However, according to the agreement, this will not happen until midnight, and Tianjin Port is still safe now.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing took a certain risk when he went out to mobilize the guard division. If Zhang Xun hadn't activated it, or if he hadn't activated it tomorrow, he would have seriously lost points with this action. The light one is "starting the war lightly", the serious one is "supporting troops and plotting evil". So much so that Zhang Zuolin asked several times: "Are you sure there is this news?" Zhang Hanqing could only say firmly with the determination of taking a gamble: "Yes." He used the name of the Intelligence Bureau.
Yinchang looked at the dark weather and was in a good mood: God bless me, it seems that there is hope for the restoration of the Qing Dynasty.
He is an authentic bannerman, and one of the few brave and smart people among the bannermen. Otherwise, Li Yuanhong would not have let him serve as the aide-de-camp of the presidential palace, which is a position comparable to the chief bodyguard.
When the artillery is in place, Zhang Xun's "Qinwang Army" will be even more powerful, and the city of Beijing will be as stable as Mount Tai. His Majesty the Emperor will sit firmly in the Dragon Court. He is the hero of the Manchu Qing Dynasty who helped the building to collapse. The king with an iron hat cannot escape. . This batch of artillery is said to be far sharper and more advanced than the cannons equipped by the Beiyang armies. As long as the opposition forces cannot enter Beijing for a moment, the princes across the country who are still loyal to the royal family will definitely rise up. Although the Hong Xian monarchy failed, it was because his reputation was not justified, and the authentic emperor was still in the Forbidden City. This also shows that there is still a market for the monarchy!
In the distance, the heavily armed special operations brigade was also grateful for the weather. Together with the young marshal's army, they took a train out of Fengtian. However, the Marshal's vanguard troops were unable to follow the train when they arrived at Shanhaiguan - the "Xinchou Treaty" stipulated that the Beijing-Fengcheng Line was jointly managed by all countries within the Pass and would not be used for military purposes. There are also British soldiers stationed at Shanhaiguan.
But the special operations brigade is different from the ordinary army. They do not wear common military uniforms when fighting. They followed the car and left Shanhaiguan disguised as ordinary passengers, with their weapons in their carry-on boxes. When we arrived in Tianjin, it was getting late.
With the guidance of people from the Tianjin Station of the Intelligence Bureau, the group was on standby soon.
Yinchang had served as Minister of the Army and was quite courageous. At that time, he was called the first general of the Manchus and the leader of the clan and socialist party. After the Qing emperor abdicated, he often wanted to serve and privately gathered a group of well-trained Manchu soldiers. A few days ago, while secretly discussing restoration matters with a group of Manchu elders, the prestigious Princess Jin appointed him as the commander of the Imperial Guard on behalf of Emperor Xuantong, and all his officers and soldiers became the Imperial Imperial Guard. What a great trust! The lives of the emperor and his family depended on him. His heart felt heavy when he thought about the significance of the arms to both inside and outside the Forbidden City.
“Lights light up on the distant sea level, which means that the voyage ship is about to dock. Yin Chang stared at the light intently, and suddenly saw the light flashing and extinguishing three times in a row. This is the promised signal, the cargo ship is coming!
He gestured to one of his men, and the man ran over, lit a torch somewhere, and waved it to show a beautiful "8" shape in the distance.
It was safe and sound. Koizumi Shoji, who was standing at the bow of the ship, breathed a sigh of relief. His "Unimaru" has a load capacity of 3,000 tons and is a large cargo ship belonging to the Osaka Shipyard. He knew exactly what was on the boat. Sending artillery and other heavy weapons to China is strictly prohibited by treaties between great powers. Once discovered, the consequences would be disastrous. However, in order to support the family with a tradition of ceding territory to continue its mission, the Japanese military department almost delivered these mountain cannons at the most favorable price, half-sold and half-delivered, and even its own master regiments did not have time to equip them. Thinking of Beijing city??The sharp firepower of the Japanese orogenic artillery made the Chinese people howl like ghosts and wolves, and he felt a sense of relief. Although he is only the warehouse boss of the Osaka Arsenal, with the rank of lieutenant, he plays an inconspicuous role in Sino-Japanese relations.
According to the previous agreement, if there is no incident on the shore, the character "8" will be used to feedback. Now that ignorant Manchu general should have sent someone to wait anxiously on the shore, right? Huh, without the heavy firepower weapons manufactured by the Japanese Empire, the Manchus would have no way to compete with the Chinese Beiyang Army, although these armies were vulnerable to the Japanese Empire.
?????????????????????????????????????? Yinchang couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, although he couldn't see anything in the increasingly dark night.
Anchor and dock. The sailors on the ship stepped onto the gangplank with searchlights. Koizumi, who was in the lead, greeted Yinchang: "First time meeting you, Mr. Yinchang. I have kept you waiting for a long time." Regardless of disgust or contempt, the etiquette of Little Japan has something to do with their hearts. A world of difference.
Yinchang quickly approached and stretched out his hands to embrace this representative savior of the Qing Dynasty.
Koizumi did not appreciate this face at all, even though the other person was once a general of a great country and is currently a counselor in the Senate of the government, which is far from his level. He said businesslikely: "General Yinchang, your troops are quick and your troops are fast. There will be many things waiting for you to do tonight."
Yinchang’s hot face touched his cold ass, but he didn’t feel insulted at all. Instead, he thought that the Japanese could still keep a clear mind at such a time, and they were indeed the best in Asia. If you were a Chinese, wouldn't you be so proud of yourself? Like a grandson, he nodded in agreement with Koizumi's wise decision. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of people ran out from all directions like ghosts and began the long-planned moving work.
However, under the dim light, some people's costumes were not familiar to me. What was particularly suspicious was that they all had guns on their bodies. In the darkness, no one recognized anyone else, and the suspicious characters ran towards the boat among the crowd.
not good! There is a spy! Yinchang felt his brain buzzing.
This mission was just to transport arms. Because it was an open port jointly managed by the great powers, and the operation was secretive, he only arranged a few sentries and was not prepared for a firefight at all. Now, he didn't know how many enemies were around him or which group of enemies they were. It was also dark, so he didn't dare to shout. No matter who is frightened, the lives of both sides will be in danger once a shot is fired. If Hu Li lost his life here due to confusion, it would be the greatest loss to the great cause of rejuvenation - he was confident that among the top Manchus, there were very few people with his vision and ability.
At just one glance, he had already concluded that there was no chance of winning tonight: the other party was calculated mentally but not intentionally, and he dared to do so. He would not take action easily unless he was absolutely sure. In addition, he controlled the heat very well and calculated the time very accurately. His previous confidentiality measures were like a blind man covering his face.
He didn’t dare to say anything. The other party was probably in the middle of the action and only focused on occupying key areas and retreating routes. Yinchang pretended to greet everyone and gradually moved farther away from Deng Ying. When no one was paying attention, he ducked down and hid behind an iron anchor, then quickly crawled to the outside. There was a squadron of Japanese friends a hundred steps away. For Yinchang, who was a soldier, crawling there was only a matter of minutes. However, as a person closely monitored by the Intelligence Bureau, how could he escape so easily? Before he could climb two steps, something cold pressed tightly against the back of his neck. Based on experience, this is a five-shot Hanyang imitation Mauser rifle, a common weapon for Beiyang soldiers.
After a while, even the dullest people realized that something was wrong. Of course, Koizumi Shoji was an exception: there were only Chinese people running across the ship and the shore. Who knew that there were a large number of people who were related to us and the enemy? However, when the special forces members took control of the cargo ship and pointed their guns at everyone, he realized that he was about to become a prisoner.
He was shocked. Whose team is this? Dare to mobilize troops under the eyes of the Japanese army? There is a Japanese squadron not far away! He wanted to scream, but the other party pointed the black gun at him. Is it Chengren or an adult? He thought for a moment. Fear finally overcame the bushido spirit, and he decided to surrender. However, the other party was obviously impatient. He knocked him out with a slap in the face and made the decision for him.
Someone wanted to scream, but who knew there were so many enemies around them. After a burst of clattering, several were knocked down. At the same time, dull shouts came from everywhere: "The goods belong to others, but your life is yours!" In the dark night I don’t know how many people there are on the other side, but I can see more and more people, at least twice as many as the Imperial Guards. With this strength alone, not to mention that some of them did not have guns, and some did not have time to draw their guns, even if the Japanese squadrons on the periphery were to attack, they would not be able to get away for a while.
The key is that the opponent is well-trained and interspersed among the guards. These people are all big and rough, and they will definitely not be able to please everyone in close combat. So looking at the big men around them, most people wisely chose to obey. Occasionally, a few people who tried to escape were forced back at gunpoint. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Yinchang’s group of more than a hundred people, including fifteen Japanese sailors on the cargo ship, were all subdued and driven into the cargo hold one by one. Not a single shot was fired throughout the process. Everyone was still in shock when they were driven into the cabin, but they were all silent when they saw the dark muzzles popping up around them, especially Lieutenant Koizumi who was carried into the cabin by his companions with his face covered in blood.
The special forces team was unexpectedly successful. The people on the boat under gunfire were still imagining whether their companions still on the shore would notice and wait for an opportunity to rescue them. When the hatch opened wide, another group of gray-headed and disgraced companions were captured. Enter under escort.
A strong man came over with a gun and expressed his satisfaction with the good order. He said to the noisy crowd: "On this trip, we only rob goods and do not kill people. But if there is any resistance, we will kill them on the spot!" He said fiercely, No one doubted that he could keep his word.
The Imperial Guards are still not considered legitimate and have not eaten real imperial food. How can they be willing to die for His Majesty the Emperor? They unanimously stated: "No resistance!"
The light in the cabin was much better than outside. The guards in trouble reflexively looked for their leader: Huh? General Yin is missing!
Some people secretly felt lucky that one of them escaped. With Yinchang's ability, it was not a problem to lead the Japanese on the periphery to rescue everyone. Some people are secretly preparing their routes, hoping to escape once the Japanese attack.
However, the hatch opened again. When they saw the dejected Yinchang slowly walking in, everyone's hearts froze, and the only luck they had was gone. The whole army was wiped out!
This group of people is obviously well-trained, and the camouflage makeup on their faces is scary enough. Of course, we have never seen gangsters dressed like this in this era, and everyone thinks this is to avoid being recognized. That's fine. They won't kill people randomly without being recognized. Of course, they didn't pay much attention.
Yin Chang was bolder. Although he was also disarmed and held at gunpoint, it did not affect his rapid brain operation. What kind of army is this? The reason why they are called the army is because this group of people don't talk much. They mainly use gestures in brightly lit places, and they act decisively and decisively, which is not even comparable to ordinary soldiers.
Duan Qirui’s people? It seems that the presence of Anhui forces in Tianjin is not strong. Traditionally, Tianjin is the territory of the Zhili Clan, but it seems that no army among the Zhili Clan bosses is so capable and powerful. Could it be Wu Peifu's third division? As the Chief of Guard of the Presidential Palace, he still admired Wu Peifu. If the army of the Republic of China was said to be strong in combat effectiveness, no one dared to compare with Xiao Wu. Although Wu Peifu was emerging at this time, he could not afford to be compared to the old Wu because he was a newcomer. This glorious title.
Even so, the Third Division definitely does not have such troops, because these people not only have the strength of soldiers, but also a special kind of refinement. As the only well-known general among the Manchus, he was right in his judgment. This was originally a group of soldiers performing special tasks, and they were the elite among the elite soldiers.
"Which army are you from?" Finally, Yinchang couldn't help but ask. Even though he knew that he might be silenced after revealing the secret, he still couldn't help it. Heroes cherish heroes and don't ask the truth, which is a bit unrequited.
It doesn’t matter if he tries to be a hero, everyone around him will be scared to death. They know the rules of the world to some extent. Since these people are masked (actually with camouflage makeup), they definitely don't want others to know. Does Yinchang want to drag everyone into the water by asking this? Then someone quietly pulled his sleeve: "Master, be silent!"
"Hahaha", one of the leaders was not surprised, but laughed openly: "It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is what you are doing! I know your name is Yinchang, and you usually claim to be a Manchu." Warrior. It’s just that your bravery was misplaced. In order to realize your dream of restoration, you did not hesitate to collude with the Japanese to do evil and turn the good Republic of China into a mess! We robbed your cannon tonight to prevent you from helping the evildoers. The road is getting deeper and deeper! Who are we, you ask? Then I tell you, we are Chinese people, patriots, and true heroes who stand upright!"
Yinchang is not afraid of death. He should have died when the Qing Emperor abdicated and the Republic of China was established. Unexpectedly, he was favored by two presidents successively - it may have been their gestures, but no matter what, as a Manchu who had lost power, he still He has been sitting firmly on the throne of the captain of the bodyguard, which is an anomaly. Therefore, he used his unique identity to still run for the Manchus to regain the world, even going into battle himself.
But seeing that the major generals in Beijing were weak and that the arms were being hijacked in a premeditated manner, he had a strong feeling that the restoration would be in vain. His ambition was unfulfilled, so his heart was filled with despair, and he had the mentality of knowing that he would die even if he died, so he was not afraid.
"Patriot? Hero?" Yinchang sighed: "Seeing that this country is hopeless, what is there to talk about?"What kind of heroes are there anymore in our country? What are you going to do to us? The Holy One now lives in Beijing. If you want to kill me, you must also make me die facing the west! "
"We won't kill you, and we won't kill all the Chinese - if you want to kill us, we will only kill the invaders!" His answer was a very simple sentence, and everyone present felt like they had taken a reassurance in their hearts when they heard it. , even his cold tone felt warm.
There was hope of survival inside, and everyone cooperated very well with the hijackers' demands. After some maneuvering, everyone disappeared into the night.
The squadron of the Chinese garrison did not hear anything unusual until almost dawn, so they were very dissatisfied with Yinchang and others' "leaving without saying goodbye". Yes, on such a cold night, we stayed up all night just to help you guarantee the goods. And you didn't even say hello after you were done. That's not what friends do, not to mention that we are your second masters?
Feeling depressed, Sergeant Yamashita couldn't help but go to the waterside to check, but there was no trace. It's strange. It was clearly stated that the cargo would be unloaded to several small cargo ships nearby and then transferred to the Shanghai River to the canal. Why was there no movement at all? I clearly heard a ship docking last night, and there were many people and it was very noisy!
He thought about several possibilities: ticket bounce, changing docks but he never thought that someone would hijack the ship. Maybe it changed places for some reason. This is the most likely. In order to verify this conclusion, he sent people to search everywhere in Tianjin Port, and prepared to launch horizontally upstream and downstream after dawn.
In this precious midnight, it is enough for the "Wuniwan" to turn to any port at full speed. You must know that behind it is the vast Bohai Sea!
The perverse actions of the Zhang Xun Restoration Group were immediately strongly opposed by the people across the country. After Zhang Xun ousted Li Yuanhong from power, Duan Qirui issued a telegram and appeal against Zhang in Tianjin, organized the rebel army, and appointed himself the commander-in-chief of the rebel army. He swore an oath at Machang on the 4th and set out, and the war officially started on the 5th.
Sun Yat-sen, who was in Shanghai at the time, was extremely indignant after hearing the news. He immediately issued a declaration of rebellion. On the 6th, he and a group of comrades took a warship southward, planning to organize an armed crusade against Zhang Xun in Guangzhou. Meetings of tens of thousands of people were held across the country, especially in major provincial capitals in the south, and newspapers published a large number of articles unanimously denounced Zhang Xun.
But there are people faster than them. Zhang Zuolin responded to the situation in Fengtian and declared: "Anyone who supports the restoration is our sworn enemy of the Fengtian Army. Those who participate in the restoration must rein in their horses and actively surrender to reduce their sins. If there are those who are stubborn and stubborn, the soldiers will Once arrived, the crime will be unforgivable." He also announced the scandalous evidence of Feng Delin's crimes in Beijing, declared Feng Delin a traitor to the Northeast Revolution, and ordered the 28th Division not to participate, otherwise he would be a rebel and would attack with troops. For an instant, Feng Delin's gang members were like rats crossing the street in Fengtian, not daring to raise their heads.
Zhang Hanqing personally visited the front line and commanded one of the guard divisions to cross Shanhaiguan and kill along the Jingfeng Road toward Tianjin, causing a huge impact; the other main force advanced northward outside the pass, approaching Chengde.
Chengde is the capital of Rehe Province and its geographical location is very important. There will be many more places to "deal with" the Beijing government in the future. In the future, it will be much closer to become famous through Chengde than through Shanhaiguan, and the emotional threat will be greater.
The incident that happened in Tianjin Port seems to be very low-key in the ever-changing events. After the incident, both Japan and the Communist Party remained silent about it. The world had no idea that such a bizarre robbery had occurred on the edge of the tense city of Tianjin.
Of course, the direction of the Japanese army is to loosen externally and tighten internally. The 3,000-ton "Unimaru" could not disappear silently, and the 30 cannons could not be loaded and unloaded at major ports without being discovered. Japan used intelligence personnel in various coastal provinces of China, especially Qinhuangdao, Yantai, Qingdao, Weihai, and even Huludao further away, where it was possible to land.
At sea, Japan dispatched several warships and civilian ships to conduct a blanket search around the Bohai Bay. Immediately, the Japanese "Kandong Prefecture" naval garrison fleet stationed in Dalian also dispatched warships to patrol between Dalian and Weihai.
On land, surveillance manpower has been stationed at several major channels in and out of Tianjin. This is to prevent "robbers" from transporting arms out through land transportation. Since the "Type 41" mountain cannon has a total weight of only 540 kilograms and can be easily disassembled into several parts (in fact, it is already in bulk when leaving the factory), a carriage can easily transport a cannon.
But under such close surveillance, it can still fly away with its wings!
"But it's strange. The 3,000-ton behemoth really disappeared into the vast sea. Not only that, these mountain artillery pieces were not found anywhere, which caused a huge loss of face for Japan’s intelligence agencies in North China, Northeast China, and Manchuria.
Two days later, the embarrassed Yinchang and his group of 100 people were found on the coast of Shandong, together with the missing "Wuniwan". However, the fifteen Japanese sailors and crew on board, as well as Sergeant Shoji Koizumi of the Osaka Arsenal, did not survive. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Sergeant Shoji Koizumi of the arsenal did not survive. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 263 Making a Wish

?According to Yinchang, they were individually selected after being put into the cabin, and then the group took all the Japanese away, and they were never seen again. Afterwards, they worked as volunteers under the strict orders of these people, helping to load the cannon parts onto several small boats. Later, the "Wuniwan" sailed south and ran aground off the coast of Shandong. However, according to his observation, the number of "hijackers" who finally came ashore was obviously much smaller, and the few boats that were packed with arms also did not appear again.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? This is the unanimous conclusion of Japanese intelligence personnel. While everyone was staring at the huge "Wuniwan", the group had broken into pieces and secretly transported the mountain cannon away.
Thirty cannons were ferried by small boats, and no one would notice at all. You must know that there are more than a thousand fishing boats in the Bohai Bay. In theory, each fishing boat can easily carry one or two cannons. The Japanese intelligence agency focused on the huge cargo ship, but did not think of a way to break it into parts.
The Japanese control in Tianjin is still going on, and the Bohai Bay coast is also being investigated point by point. The judgment of their intelligence department is that if they want to transport arms in large quantities by fishing boats or land over such a long distance, there is always a chance of being discovered. , unless this batch of arms is stationed. As long as they are still in Tianjin, there is a chance of being discovered. Because of the disappearance of fifteen imperial soldiers, the Japanese garrison in Tianjin and the Japanese intelligence agency in Tianjin were so ruthless that they had to dig out the arms even if they dug three feet into the ground!
But when it comes to who organized this arms robbery, almost everyone points to Zhang Zuolin of Fengtian: Japan has a deep understanding of the combat capabilities of the Beiyang Army in Guanhai, and has stationed advisers in each army. According to Yinchang, these "robbers" of unknown origin numbered in the hundreds, and their combat power was astonishing. His men were often forced to surrender in one-on-one situations.
The Japanese could guess that Zhang Zuolin’s people did it, and they still had a few brushes. This also shows that Zhang Hanqing’s power has been able to have a certain influence on the Japanese, and his efforts over the past year have not been in vain. However, the Japanese's aggressive war in Tianjin was in vain. The arms had been transported to the Guard Division in Qinhuangdao by Starry Night. In two days, we should have reached it even if we paddled by hand, let alone a motorized sailboat - thanks to the efforts of Yinchang and others, the special operations brigade just used it casually.
Zhang Hanqing's dispatch of troops to the pass was just a cover for the special operations brigade's arms robbery. Of course, it is necessary to wave the flag appropriately, but it is not necessary to attack Beijing. With Duan Qirui's power, it would be a matter of minutes to destroy the five thousand "braided army", so why bother recruiting others? Now is the time to concentrate our efforts on controlling the three northeastern provinces, and we are unable to advance into the pass.
Zhang Xun, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly discovered that the domestic situation had changed drastically. The political and military situation took a turn for the worse. The clumsy performance of Zhang Xun, Feng Delin and their gang aroused nationwide opposition, so that both inside and outside the Great Wall mobilized troops to fight against the rebels.
At the beginning, Yang Du, who was the "chief culprit of the imperial system", was wanted after Yuan Shikai's defeat. Zhang Xun, the commander-in-chief, openly stood up and spoke out for Yang Du: "Emperors have different opinions, and they are just expressing their own opinions. Isn't it true that the chief culprit deserves the most credit?" Can be measured by success or failure. "But when Zhang Xun was restored, Yang Du sent a message "Opposing Zhang Xun's Restoration", bluntly saying that the restoration was unpopular.
Duan Qirui, who originally agreed to Zhang Xun's restoration, personally led his troops in Machang and vowed to attack him, and sent people to ask Zhang Xun's troops not to resist. After hearing the news, Zhang Xun said bitterly: "They pushed me out to do this. The restoration turned out to be a trick on me. We can’t be cowards and will fight them to the end even if we risk our lives. What are we afraid of? When the time comes, we will reveal the inside story: Am I the only one who wants the restoration?"
Therefore, Zhang Xun asked his deputy chief Wan Shengshu to immediately take out the yellow satin signed by everyone at that time and make it public to the world for the people of the country to comment. Wan Shengshi said: "The yellow satin is left in Tianjin. I will go and get it now."
Unexpectedly, Wan Shengzhen left and never came back. It turned out that the yellow satin had long been bought by Feng Guozhang's confidant Hu Siyuan for 200,000 yuan!
At the critical moment, Wang Shizhen sent someone to find Zhang Xun's important subordinate Su Xilin and asked not to open fire, hoping to sacrifice Zhang Xun to prevent the people of Beijing from being devastated by the war. Su Xilin said: "The restoration was signed and approved by the governors of all provinces. Now they have gone back on their word and played tricks on Zhang Xun. It is because they have no credibility. Now Zhang Xun is in danger. Zhang Xun is my commander. I cannot ignore death! You go back and tell Wang Shizhen, as long as the rebels don’t shoot, I will never shoot. And if Zhang Xun’s personal safety is guaranteed, I will never shoot!”
“After all, this matter was not done honestly. Although there is no evidence for this kind of thing, there are still many insiders. Duan Qirui felt guilty, and the target was not Zhang Xun, so he sent someone to say: "For such a big thing as restoration, it will not work without someone taking the blame. But please rest assured, brother Shaoxuan, as long as he stopsResist, and don't cause a big mess that won't end well. I'll keep him safe, and I won't hold him accountable afterwards. "
It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. The key is that the crime of corrupting Beijing is too great. Zhang Xun really has no chance of winning with so many people. Following the CCP’s miscalculation, there were no more voices praising the restoration in the market. However, Duan Qirui was really able to keep his composure and took tens of thousands of elite troops to rest in Tianjin for more than ten days. Zhang Xun, on the other hand, looked forward to the stars and the moon, almost until his hair turned gray. The strong reinforcements in his mind, the Fengtian 28th Division, did not respond at all!
What a joke! Will Zhang Zuolin, who has been eyeing this piece of fat for a long time, sit back and wait for a good opportunity to deal with his old enemy? Almost as soon as news of the restoration came out, he ordered the Guards Division and the 27th Division to mobilize in full force. The Guards Division even advanced to Shanhaiguan Pass first, completely blocking the 28th Division's road leading to the pass.
With the absence of officials and the core support for restoration in Beijing, no one dared or could organize considerable resistance. Therefore, one can imagine the low morale of the 28th Division. In such a state, as long as Zhang Zuolin decides, this army will fall in an instant like a crumbling force.
After feeling aggrieved for more than a year, Zhang Zuolin finally felt elated. He sent someone to speak to Feng Yong and Ji Jinchun, who were in charge: "I will be ordered to use the king's army to attack the rebels. Should I follow the trend and lay down my weapons, or go against the will of heaven and bring about eternal infamy?"
With Zhang Xun's "active" truce, the situation in Beijing quickly returned to calm. The Guards Division that sent troops to Tianjin had no excuses and naturally withdrew calmly. Zhang Hanqing's original intention was not to do anything with this, but it seemed that he was just doing a long-distance training. However, the leading troops of the Guard Division did not go straight back to Xinmin, but stopped in Jinzhou. To the north, there is Feng Delin's Beining 28th Division to guard against. This force of his can be regarded as a double attack with Zhang Zuolin.
Along the Daling River, the small town Linghai marched northward with great fanfare. It was still far away from Beining. The 28th Division had announced a voluntary ceasefire and was waiting for the officers to negotiate with Zhang Zuolin. However, the officers and soldiers of the first regiment of the Guards Division did not turn back and take the more convenient train, but chose to continue moving forward. The reason was that the 28th Division had just returned and the people's hearts were unstable, so they needed this unit to assist in the reorganization.
What everyone didn’t know was that the arms snatched at Tianjin Port were mixed with the regiment’s baggage and transported north along the Daling River. The further north you go, the smaller the Japanese information network becomes, and with large troops marching, they have no way of finding out what is true. Except for a few senior officers of the regiment, no one knew about it.
The Japanese laid dragnets along the coast and released many spies at various points. After the special forces were broken into pieces, they used motors and sailing boats to rush along the coastline to the hinterland of Fengtian. Instead of disembarking at the big port, they rushed directly into the inland river - the mouth of the Daling River. This was a plan that had been set long ago. The Guards Division returned in time in the name of flanking the 28th Division and covered them all the way.
By the time it entered Beining, the 28th Division had been divided into several military camps.
Ji Jinchun and Zhang Zuolin have already reached an agreement and have no intention of war. Feng Yong could not suppress the army at all. At this time, he could only hand over the leadership to Ji Jinchun and said: "Uncle Ji, my father made a wrong move, which caused the anger of heaven and people. No one else is to blame. In Fengtian, he will never be the same again." I can't beat Zhang Zuolin. However, as parents in the world, since I can't share my father's worries, I still want to share the joys and sorrows with him. I hope Uncle Ji will agree to let me go to Beijing to see if there is any way to save my father's life."
After all, the relationship has lasted for many years, and Ji Jinchun is also a loyal person. He said with emotion: "What did Han Qing say? The old officer treated me well. He is in trouble now, and I must keep him safe! I will face him I met Zhang Zuolin and asked him to reach out and give the old officer a hand. If he doesn’t agree, I will make the 28th Division lay down its weapons in exchange for going to Beijing with you!"
Feng Yong was moved and said: "Tang Yulin reminded me before that Uncle Ji would turn to Zhang Zuolin. It seems that my father is still very discerning in this matter. However, if Uncle Ji goes to the other side's camp for talks, the result will not be ideal. , There is no one in the 28th Division who can control the situation!" He was afraid that Zhang Zuolin would take Ji Jinchun as a hostage to dismantle the 28th Division, and this time there was no need to negotiate terms.
Ji Jinchun thought for a while and said: "There is a young marshal's army on the line from Liaonan to Shanhaiguan. I might as well go and meet him. Zhang Hanqing has high aspirations and is a person who does big things. If he comes forward, he will do his best to rescue the old chief. of."
I wonder where he got his confidence? Anyway, he really came to the Guard Division in person. The two of them were old acquaintances, so they naturally got right to the point. When Ji Jinchun talked about his willingness to use the entire army to support Zhang, the premise was to try to keep Feng Delin safe, Zhang Hanqing laughed.
"Uncle Ji, don't say that. My father and Feng Shibo were at odds with each other, but there was never any enmity between them. On the contrary, Feng Shibo was once kind to my father. The reason for the posture of a pincer attack from the north and south was that he was afraid that someone from the 28th Division would enter. The rotten areas in the pass will aggravate Feng Shibo's sins. In fact, yesterday, my father had sent people to the capital to clear the place. I believe that with his help, Feng Shibo will be safe."

Chapter 265 The End

Zhang Zuolin did not pursue the dispute with Feng, but complained with virtue, which completely won the hearts of Feng Province. In this battle, he effortlessly won the entire Twenty-Eighth Division, and even dominated Fengtian Province, taking a big step forward in strength. In this battle, Feng Delin was completely defeated. Zhang Zuolin gained the recognition of the officers and soldiers of the 28th Division through his affection and loyalty to Feng Delin.
"The rebel army" finally opened fire. They invaded Beijing at dawn on the 12th and fought with the "braided soldiers" at the Temple of Heaven, causing their entire army to collapse and the farce of restoration to come to an end. Half of the "braid soldiers" have been bribed, and of course they will collapse at the first touch. Under attack from two sides by the rebel forces, some raised white flags and surrendered, while others cut off their braids and threw away their guns to escape.
After losing the war, Zhang Xun had no choice but to petition the Qing Dynasty to resign as governor of Zhili and minister of political affairs. Xuantong asked Zhang Xun where he planned to go. Zhang Xun said that he would lead his team back to Xuzhou and asked the Qing Dynasty to give him ten thousand taels of gold as reward. Xuantong said: "Ten thousand taels of gold is more than 400,000 yuan. I have only been on the throne for seven days. If I give you 400,000 yuan, doesn't it mean that I spend 50,000 yuan a day to buy an emperor?"
Children are so unruly! After hearing this, Zhang Xun was very unhappy and said: "Your Majesty, since you retired from power in 1911, in the past six years, the veterans have paid no less than 500,000 yuan. I come today to ask for 10,000 taels of gold. Isn't this too much?" said Princess Jin. "Now that the restoration is about to disappear, and the 4 million annual preferential treatment of the Republic of China will be forfeited in your hands, who should we ask for it from?" After hearing this, Zhang Xun retreated silently.
The battle took only half a day, but it was not until the 17th, five days later, that the rebel army entered Beijing. It turned out that this was to leave time for Zhang Xun to escape! All the participants in the conspiracy knew what was going on. Duan Qirui did not dare to go too far, for fear that Zhang Xun, the "restoration head", would take the matter out. After all, many people knew about this, so Duan Qirui couldn't do anything unethical.
The Dutch embassy sent a car to "rescue" Zhang Xun, but he refused to leave. Later, the Dutchman had no choice but to force him away. When he was in a hurry, he even bit the Dutchman.
Later, Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau Chief Wu Bingxiang accompanied his subordinate Su Xilin to visit Zhang Xun at the Dutch Embassy. Su Xilin asked Zhang Xun: "If the battle is defeated, what will happen to the troops?" Zhang Xun said: "You can figure it out."
So, Su Xilin arranged for the Braid Army to cut off their braids, change into clothes, pay severance pay, disband and return to their hometowns. At this time, discarded braids were everywhere on the streets of Beijing. Puyi, who had only been the "Emperor of Beijing" for 12 days, announced his abdication again.
After this battle, China no longer had pigtail soldiers. The pigtails of officers and soldiers that had appeared in the history of the late Qing Dynasty for many years were finally thrown into the pile of old paper.
After Zhang Xun calmly hid in the Dutch embassy with the connivance of the anti-restoration fighter Duan Qirui, the restoration drama was destined to end, but some of the responsibilities of the accomplices still need to be investigated. No, as soon as Feng Delin and his party entered Tianjin Station by train, they were targeted by members of Cao Chrome's detective team.
At this time, he still dares to take the train to Tianjin with such arrogance! You know, Tianjin is the base camp of the rebel army! Moreover, there were as many as 200 guards in his group, so it was difficult for him to avoid being discovered. Could it be that he was also influenced by Zhang Xun's restoration plan?
Cao Chrome was Cao Kun's cousin and was serving as the garrison envoy of Tianjin at this time. Like Duan Qirui, they all saw that the chaos after Zhang Xun entered Beijing was beneficial to them: Duan Qirui's purpose was to make a comeback, while Cao Kun, as the governor of Zhili, wanted to get a share of the Beiyang government soup.
The dispute between the government and the court before the restoration was a personal grudge between Duan Qirui and Li Yuanhong, the founding father of the Republic of China. When Li Yuanhong, who had no soldiers and no right to stay away from the base camp, could disturb the situation, the direct troops saw Duan Qirui's weakness. We can't let him focus on the beauty in front, and our own people also have to get some benefits from this chaos, right?
Duan Qirui has already taken the lead in capturing Beijing, so being able to capture Zhang Xun’s important accomplice Feng Delin is also a great achievement and the best way to increase his sense of presence. So, with an order, Feng Delin, Zhang Haipeng and 200 subordinate officers and soldiers were captured together. In order to announce his existence in a high-profile manner, Cao Kun used newspapers in Tianjin to publicize this achievement and said proudly: "How can such a clown be allowed to run rampant in Zhili?"
He knew Duan Qirui’s hands and feet in promoting Zhang Xun’s restoration, so he announced with great fanfare that he would put Feng Delin and his party on trial in Tianjin in order to put pressure on Duan Qirui and gain political benefits. He believed that with Duan Qirui's maturity, he would definitely bargain with him. Since Lao Yuan's death, Beiyang has been split into two systems: Zhizhi and Anhui. He has been acting like a local leader for a long time.
Duan Qirui cannot sit back and watch Feng Delin be "publicly tried". Wouldn't that expose his scandal to the world? So he sent someone to contact Cao Kun, and promised to exchange Feng Delin for Feng Delin's entry to Beijing.
There is also Lei Zhenchun, the Minister of the Ministry of War. Within a few days of his glory, the rebel army invaded Beijing. Lei ZhenchunFeng Xin, the fallen leaves return to their roots. His friends, as well as his enemies, all sent a large number of elegiac couplets, which was also a strange thing. Among them, Sun Yat-sen also had an elegy. Mr. Sun Yat-sen also respected such "true restorers" and foolish loyalists: "The abdication of the Qing Dynasty was due to the current situation. Zhang Xun's forced restoration was also foolish and loyal, and he should be charged with treason. To punish him, his love for his master is to be pitied. Although Wen considers the true restorer to be an enemy, he is not disrespectful."
Jiangxi Army Protector Ouyang Wu once had a famous elegiac couplet left in the world, and his evaluation is fair:
Daifa is lonely, speechless, no revenge, no virtue or not, no virtue;
"The loyal heart shines through the ages, and its life is glorious, and its death is sad."
"Whether it is Yuan Shikai's false emperor or the real emperor of the restoration, after the Republic of China, it was impossible to be an emperor. In line with what Liang Qichao later reflected on, "The throne of the emperor is like a Bodhisattva who is a clay puppet on the wall. Once thrown into a pig pen, even if it is washed and re-enshrined, it has long lost its sanctity." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Two days later, Duan Qirui entered Beijing and resumed his position as Prime Minister, taking control of the real power of the government. On the same day, Feng Delin was escorted from Tianjin to Beijing and detained at the 12th Division Headquarters for trial. A month later, the President officially announced that "Feng Delin has been deprived of all official positions and honors due to his treason to the Republic and his criminal record, and will be handed over to the court for severe punishment in accordance with the law."
When the verdict was announced, Feng Yong had already exhausted all his efforts. He had almost no popularity in the city of Beijing, and what he was trying to do was mainly with the connections of his prospective father-in-law, Jiang Chaozong.
Although Jiang Chaozong initially married Feng Delin with the intention of supporting both internal and external parties, he rarely regretted it after the Feng family lost power. The reason is that his daughter looks like that, that is not beautiful; and Feng Yong is indeed not bad looking. After Feng Yong came to the door, he came to help Feng Delin out of trouble on the condition of choosing a date to get married.
To say that Jiang Chaozong was able to escape unscathed, there are indeed two brushes. When Zhang Xun was restored, Jiang Chaozong obeyed Zhang Xun and participated in the restoration meeting; after Duan Qirui took the oath at the horse factory, Jiang Chaozong secretly contacted Duan Qirui and confessed that he "does not agree with the restoration, but for the sake of public security in Beijing, I have to do it" "With Zhang Xunxu and Wei She". After the war, Jiang Chaozong was removed from the post of infantry commander. On the surface, he was still in the name of "General Diwei" of the general office, but in fact he was unemployed.
This "General Diwei" is not a good name. The interpretation of "Di" in "Book of Dayu Mo" is "Hui Diji, from evil to evil." Therefore, Duan Qirui called Jiang Chaozong "General Diwei", which was a joke, an exhortation, and a warning.
It is conceivable that Feng Yong, who is almost a political novice, can outplay such a political wizard. He didn't know the truth and thought that saving his father was all in Jiang Chaozong's mind, so he suppressed his dissatisfaction with the marriage and sacrificed his life to save his father.
“But Jiang Chaozong is a figure who is almost on the fringes of politics. How easy is it to get Feng Delin out? Feng Yong couldn't stand his father's trial. After a month in Beijing, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that Jiang Chaozong's face was no longer reliable. In desperation, he turned his attention back to the outside world. There, there is my father's old team and they still have considerable influence in Beizhen. Will their reputation be more reliable?
Under Zhang Hanqing’s analysis, Zhang Zuolin finally agreed that Ji Jinchun should succeed the commander of the 28th Division, and “sent” Feng Yong to Beijing as a gift, which indeed won a large number of hearts. However, when Feng Delin's current situation was exposed by Feng Yong, some people still couldn't sit still, including Ji Jinchun.
On the one hand, he felt the kindness of the old commander, and on the other hand, the young master's family personally responded to the helpless plea. Ji Jinchun decided to do his part no matter what, otherwise he would not be able to sit on the throne of the teacher. He and Feng Delin's wife and son Together they asked Zhang Zuolin to come to the rescue.
To be honest, Zhang Zuolin had already forgiven him after learning that Feng Delin was in jail and Ji Jinchun had promised to surrender the entire 28th Division. Now, when Lao Feng's family comes to ask for a meeting, whether it's a gesture or a favor, he is ready to help.
He helped Feng's wife, who was about to kneel down, and said, "You can't help it, old sister-in-law, are you violating me, Zhang Zuolin? I drank rice wine with my eldest brother, and his business is my business. Don't worry, even though he and I have nothing to do with each other. Some things have become dirty, but this brotherhood is still there! Tomorrow I will bring Quan Fengtian's leading figures to petition Beijing, and I will protect my elder brother even though I have such an old face!"
These words made Feng’s wife burst into tears, and she repeatedly scolded Feng Delin for being “ignorant. It’s a good thing that he is called brother and has been in dispute with his eldest brother for such a long time!”
Ji Jinchun was also filled with emotion: "Dashuai Zhang is indeed responsible and courageous! I, Ji Jinchun, can work with you and behead myself!"
Feng Yong also shed tears: "Uncle Six, all the mistakes are my father's fault! When my father comes home safely, I will go to Uncle Six's house to apologize for anything!"
Seeing that the favor was well received, Zhang Zuolin was greatly relieved. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of Zhang Hanqing who was accompanying him, and he couldn't help but think: "Xue Liang, Han Qing, you are both called Han Qing, and you are in the same year, why don't you just bow down in front of me and my old sister-in-law?" Come on!"
Dare to love, Zhang Zuolin is addicted to worship. He himself drank rice wine twice with Feng Delin, Zhang Haipeng, Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Jinghui, Sun Liechen and others. Didn't he finally meet Feng Delin with swords? He and Bao Guiqing had also paid homage to each other, but they were still in-laws, so weren't they still wary of him and ostracized him? It can be seen that worshiping the master is unreliable, and the old man does not believe this, but why does he never tire of it?
Not to mention, I was also influenced by him after time travel. In just a few months, I drank rice wine twice with Duan Hongye and then Gu Weijun in Beijing. Is there no better way for men to express their feelings these days besides bowing to each other?
But at this time, in the Northeast where Yijie Jinlan is popular, in order to control the hearts of the 28th Division and to fully accept Feng Xie's connections in Fengtian, this worship must be continued.
So the two of them cherished each other (orangutans?), turned their teeth and worshiped each other as brothers. Zhang Hanqing was a few months older and became the elder brother; Feng Yong was second to the younger brother with a difference of a few months, which was basically a replica of the situation on the court.
This bow not only won the hearts of the Zhang family, but also showed the Zhang family’s righteousness. This bow gained the hearts of the 28th Division!
Afterwards, Zhang Zuolin went to Beijing to find Duan Qirui in person, and at the same time mobilized Wu Junsheng, Ma Longtan, and more than a hundred brigades, regiments, and battalion commanders of the 27th, 28th, and 29th Divisions to jointly petition Beijing for Feng Delin's orders. Not only that, he also persuaded the gentry in sixteen counties in western Liaoning to write letters asking for mercy. After efforts from all parties to smooth things over, on October 15, Duan Qirui's government changed the sentence to "insufficient evidence of participating in the restoration, and he was fined 800 yuan for opium smoking" and was released.
After Feng Delin was released from prison, in order to save face, the authorities appointed him as a senior adviser to the Presidential Palace of Duan Qirui, and Zhang Zuolin was in charge of the 28th Division. However, although Feng Delin was free, he no longer had any soldiers and was no longer dangerous. Soon Duan Qirui appointed Feng Delin as the "Minister of Protection of Mountain Tombs", responsible for guarding the ancestral tombs before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. This was a fat job. From then on, Feng Delin had a lot of land and was happy to be a rich man, but insulated from politics.
"At a time when Zhang Zuolin's status is rising, it may not be a blessing for him to be able to focus on the mountains and forests.
The Duan Qirui government ceremoniously welcomed Li Yuanhong as president again. Of course, this happened. Li Yuanhong could not become president anyway. This was also the style of politics in the early Republic of China. When he returned home, he called the whole country and resigned, and Vice President Feng Guozhang, who lived in Nanjing, was invited to Beijing to act as president. The invitation message was written by Duan Qirui himself and contained only four words: "Fourth brother, come quickly!"
The battle between Fengtian Zhang and Feng was a major event after Yuan Shikai's death. The victory in this battle was also a turning point in the rise of Zhang Zuolin's Fengtian clique. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

During the reorganization process of the 28th Division, as the officers and soldiers were doing their own duties, there was basically no change of personnel from top to bottom, which made the 28th Division feel at ease and stable. The talents of Zhang Hanqing's superior also made the informed Fengtian senior officials Heartbroken.
But there are always people who feel sad. This is Tang Yulin, the former brigade commander who defected to the 28th Division. As a major general and brigade commander, he was deceived by Zhang Haipeng and others and forced into the palace. He had no choice but to flee to Guangning. Even though he had a great status in the Fengjun before, once he was deprived of his military position, he immediately felt that a hairless phoenix was inferior to a chicken. When Feng Delin saw that his use value was complete, he stopped paying attention to him and only regarded him as a guest. After a few months of this, when Feng Delin lost power, he couldn't even get guests.
There are many people in the 27th Division who want to beat up the lost dog, especially the new brigade commander Yu Zhen and others who took his place because of his departure. However, Zhang Zuolin was nostalgic after all, and Tang Yulin expressed his regrets with snot and tears. Lao Zhang also relented, thinking that he was just temporarily lost in his mind, and when he forced the palace, he was only targeting Wang Yongjiang, who had a bad relationship with him, not him. After all, Tang Yulin was his brother-in-law, and he was watching this matter from top to bottom. Of course, he has reasons for refusing to be re-appointed, but this is different from his usual style of doing things, killing people with no more than a nod; if he were to be re-appointed, he would be a carrot and a pit, and there would be no good place to place him.
Nothing happened on either side, and it seemed that Zhang Zuolin had no doubts about employing people. Zhang Zuolin asked Ji Jinchun to stabilize the situation, and the 28th Division was still temporarily stationed in Guangning. Lao Zhang's direction was to move into the pass, leaving this force to deal with Rehe's Yi. Army. With the glory of victory, he returned to Fengtian together with Zhang Hanqing's Guard Division One Regiment.
On the way, Zhang Hanqing reported the Tianjin arms incident, which shocked Lao Zhang from ear to ear. He subconsciously looked at the heavily covered baggage and thundered, there were thirty cannons!
But after all, Lao Zhang has dealt with the Japanese for many years and knows that if this matter is not done well, the Japanese will fall out with him. It's not that I'm afraid. It's just that despite the strength of a few divisions, it's really hard to compete with the Japanese. It's not appetizing. He nervously whispered to Zhang Hanqing: "Japanese guns will have serial numbers on them. How can we hide this from the Japanese when there are so many arms in the sky?"
Zhang Hanqing already had a clue: "Father, although the Shenyang Arsenal cannot repair the mountain artillery now, it can be refurbished to remove these traces, and then it will be distributed to the First Division and the Guards Division one after another. These two units are new The editor is far away from the Japanese’s sphere of influence and has nothing to do with the Japanese, so they won’t have a chance to see through it for a while.”
The matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, and Zhang Zuolin still hopes to have new artillery. The 27th Division and the 28th Division are both key armed units of the Beiyang Department, and they are only artillery regiments equipped with fifty-four cannons. Since its establishment, the Guards Division was only equipped with an artillery battalion from the remaining armament; and the 1st Division, which was expanded from the cavalry and infantry brigades, did not even have a single gun. This arms is of great help!
Zhang Hanqing’s ambition is not limited to this. He also wanted to imitate this kind of gun: "Father, buying arms is not a long-term solution. Others can choke our necks at any time. Fengtian Arsenal now has the ability to imitate Mauser rifles and manufacture artillery shells in small batches. If it can be given certain With the financial support, it is not difficult to imitate cannons. I have talked with Yang Wenkai and Deng Yancun before. Except for the firing pins that currently need to be imported from Germany, our existing equipment capabilities can assemble a small number of artillery. It is said that this batch of 41 The Type 31 Mountain Cannon is much better than the Type 31 Mountain Cannon in terms of power, speed and range. What I mean is that we might as well use it as a basis to imitate our own mountain cannon."
Zhang Zuolin is very courageous to try things that can increase his strength. He nodded and said, "That's the reason. Now I have some money in my hand, and I am considering whether to buy or make arms. What you said makes sense. I will discuss it with Lin Ge later and see what to do." Ge is Yang Yuting, who also serves as the governor-general of the arsenal and is also Lao Zhang's wise man.
Father and son have a heart-to-heart talk and talk about everything. Zhang Zuolin then talked about Tang Yulin to Zhang Hanqing: "This kid, I wanted to shoot him at first, but when he fell to this point, it was even. In any case, the cabinet minister still tried his best when I told him. The reason why I am today is inseparable from the efforts of him, his assistant ministers, and Zhan Ao. On this occasion of hiring people, I decided to let him go. Firstly, the old brothers in Fengtian are watching, and secondly, he is not How big of a crime did you commit, do you think?"
Although Zhang Hanqing knew that Tang Yulin did evil things later and ran away as soon as he fought with the Japanese, which was considered a complete Japanese phobia, he luckily did not become a traitor. According to the civil-military separation strategy he designed, it will be difficult for him to have the opportunity to harm local areas in the future. Besides, he still had a great influence in the Feng army. As soon as the 28th Division surrendered, many people came to Zhang Zuolin for mercy, and he knew this.
At the beginning, it is better not to disappoint his subordinates. I guess this is what my father wants. He agreed and said, "What my father is thinking is that it is not appropriate for Tang Yulin to lead troops at the moment, nor can he be given a higher position. Otherwise, others will follow suit and fall out of control at critical moments. How can father lead the army?" People? What I mean is to give him the false title of Military Counselor of the Military Governor's Office to see the effects."
Zhang Zuolin was very happy to see that the last resistance to using Tang Yulin was eliminated. He was well aware of Zhang Hanqing and Tang Yulin's dirty deeds, and he was afraid that Zhang Hanqing would object violently - but when did he have to take into account his son's feelings when employing people?
Seeing that although his son was surprisingly resourceful, he still listened to persuasion, so he told Zhang Hanqing what he had hidden in his heart: "Xiao Liuzi, it's rare for our father and son to have a heart-to-heart talk today. I want to ask you, according to the theory of the People's Party controlling power, Who is the provincial leader, Wang Yongjiang, or Wang Yizhe, the secretary of the Fengtian Provincial Party Committee you appointed?"
The People’s Party is now small in scale. Except for those from Xinmin County, the Guard Division, and the First Division who are the main party members, other party members are now ordered to form party organizations in Fengtian and Heilongjiang Provinces. Wang Yizhe is not only the director of the political department of the two divisions, but as the director of the Central Committee Organization of the People's Party, in addition to guarding the provincial capital headquarters to handle affairs, he is also the provincial party committee secretary in Fengtian and the municipal party committee secretary in the provincial capital. As a pilot project of the People's Party, Xinmin County reports all administrative affairs, large and small, to Wang Yizhe, the superior of the county committee. This is stipulated in the party constitution. But over and over again, the mayor of Fengtian and the governor of Fengtian felt that there was such a meaning of a state within a state?
Not only in the provincial capital of Fengtian, but also in other areas where Kuomintang members have infiltrated, local governments have successively reported that the Kuomintang has a tendency to "usurp power and seize power." Moreover, according to party members: "We just want to seize administrative power and let The party will govern." Because the party was established by the young marshal, it is not involved in the fight for the time being. However, government officials from all over the country are worried: Power is about to be handed over to the People's Party. What should we do? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Zhang Hanqing also had a headache.
He wanted to imitate the later generations of Grandpa Mao and build a country with his own hands. Naturally, the People's Party had reason to occupy a leadership position. But with just the few people he has in his hands, trying to conquer the world is nothing more than wishful thinking. It’s not that it can’t be done, but it’s just that with this slow development, when the Sino-Japanese war comes, will we have to go back to the old path of guerrilla warfare?
Because modern history tells us that those who defeated the enemy with the weak and the strong always followed this path in the early days. However, is there another eight-year war of resistance? Because according to the evolution of this situation and time, it is difficult to guarantee that Japan will not invade China, because this is a historical trend. Since Zhang Hanqing time traveled, he has done nothing to change the general trend of history.
The fastest way is to take advantage of dad’s influence, he is already doing it. The Feng system will definitely be one of the three Beiyang systems in the future. Under the butterfly wings of his performance, this trend is getting faster and faster, and has formed a force that cannot be ignored. If the People's Party can make good use of this power, create a climate as quickly as possible and control China in an organized and planned way, it will be a good way for China to rise. It's just that his movements were a little too fast.
“It’s just that no one is willing to give up his power with both hands, not even if he is a young commander. There was a backlash in all parts of Fengtian against the People's Party's approach to controlling power. They only took care of the young commander's face. Their struggle was manifested in neglect, cold treatment, and disregard, as long as the local People's Party did not go too far. However, the theoretical logic of the People's Party is still very scary, and it boils down to centralism. Dishes? If you look at a bunch of congressmen in the central government and mess with it, you will know what it is. Centralization does not mean concentration of power. Lao Yuan has already done it. Is there anything more concentrated than the emperor's power? Hey, we’re all confused!
Heilongjiang Province is even more outstanding. Zhang Zuolin did not control the Black Province in a complete sense. After all, the governor was Bao Guiqing. Lao Bao did not have as good a mentality as Lao Zhang. He directly expelled the People's Party members on the pretext of "inciting people, speaking nonsense, and inciting to undermine the political power", and proposed to Zhang Zuolin to "ban the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of the People's Party"! However, knowing the relationship between the People's Party and Zhang Hanqing, I didn't kill him for Lao Zhang's sake, I just suppressed it.
Zhang Hanqing was silent. He was also reflecting on whether the move was too big or too radical. After the founding of the Republic of China, the trend of democracy was just beginning, and various political parties were formed with great joy. The Kuomintang, the Progressive Party, the Democratic Party, the Republican Partytheir establishment of parties did not cause much backlash from the Central Committee. Why did I start the People's Party? It seems that the sky is angry and people are angry?
Is the party’s slogan too advanced? Yes, People's ***, that means destroying a lot of people's jobs. In the face of absolute interests, even brothers have to fall out, not to mention that before I have gained the absolute advantage in strength, I want to touch the meat in someone else's bowl! Fortunately, my father is a military governor and has a lot of troops, otherwise it would be possible for him to live in a den. My father has always trusted me and agreed to the establishment of this party. Now I have to be patient and find an opportunity to talk to myself. It can be seen that the situation is not optimistic. My father wants me to keep a low profile. According to his temperament, if someone under his command reacts against something he agrees to, he will definitely shout, "Damn it, you want to rebel." If he doesn't do this now, it shows that he is under a lot of pressure.
Since ancient times, it has been said that good things come hard. No reform in China's past dynasties can be achieved without bloodshed and sacrifice. What's more, the People's Party's control of power is the biggest change in history? This group of party members are all good brothers who have followed them loyally during major events such as the Martial Arts Hall, the Guard Brigade, and the Land Reform, and they are loyal supporters who are passionate and willing to follow them to conquer the world. Their lives are precious. He did not want to be like the white terror in history when a large number of party members and cadres "stained" the revolutionary flag with blood. Especially he could not die in the northeastern provinces of the same lineage - those were his father's hands. He would be held accountable in history in the future. How to write responsibility?
I blame myself for being radical. Think about it, those who join the People's Party now are young people who follow their own path. Although many of Fengtian's military and political veterans had a favorable opinion of him, such as Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang, Wang Yongjiang and others, they did not realize the significance of the existence of the People's Party. Even though Wang Yongjiang wanted to strengthen his own reputation for his own sake, The momentum joined the People's Party; Yang Yuting, Wu Junsheng and others who had a certain influence on Zhang Zuolin also did the same. They have more or less interests in various parts of the Northeast, and my father also needs them to stabilize the situation. How can he take away all the benefits just by establishing the party? When the Communist Party was first established, it was only by uniting one group and defeating another that it would have the opportunity to gradually grow bigger. How could I have forgotten that? Also, things have been so smooth and the conditions are so good since time travel, so I just want to eat it up and become fat in one bite. With just a few hundred party members, how could they still want to seize power across the country? Even if it is handed over to you, can those few people hold on? One Standing Committee per province will reduce the number of party members by half!
When thinking about this, Zhang Hanqing quickly made a decision: "Father, this is what I thought wrong. The current goal of the People's Party isIt is time to expand our influence, do some practical things, and form a system. At this stage and even in the future, the Secretary of the Fengtian Provincial Party Committee will not interfere in administrative affairs, and his work will only focus on enriching the grassroots, initiating land reform, activating people's wisdom, and theoretical construction. I will convene a Central Committee meeting when I return to convey this spirit. "
With influence, people from the People’s Party can be elected in parliaments at all levels, thereby indirectly influencing governance: Aren’t the appointments and removals of officials at all levels subject to parliamentary approval? If you control people, you will control things. This is Zhang Hanqing's thinking. Boil a frog in warm water and gradually develop people's party members among famous and powerful people, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????: ?? Correct the mistakes, there is no greater good. Frankly speaking, although Zhang Zuolin could not understand the thick layer of rules and regulations of the People's Party, after listening to Zhang Hanqing's brief introduction, he knew that this was a coup for administrative control. In particular, the establishment of standing committees at the local level can greatly limit the ability of individual people to get too big, and the control of careerists is absolutely effective. It is true that he is a warlord, but he does not want to create a new warlord under his control. Of course, the possibility of collective escape from control is not non-existent, but that is too ridiculous and shows that those in power are really unpopular. At this point, I, the King of Heaven, cannot save me.
“The son can think of the middle issues keenly, which shows that he is still very mature politically, and he is determined to help Zhang Hanqing up. If you follow this method, given time, you will definitely become something great. When everything is ready, as long as the military power is in hand, it will not be the son who has the final say on how to play politics. What's the problem with using party power to control the political power? It's just that there is an opportunity to raise Xiao Liuzi's status in the army.
However, Zhang Hanqing still explained: "Fenghei Province, together with Jilin, will abide by this principle for a long time in the future, with the exception of Xinmin County. I will use it as a pilot." I don't know if the regulations formed by later generations will be able to abide by this principle. It cannot take root in the soil of Fengtian. This system of the People’s Party still needs to be explored and explored. As for other places, whoever takes them will play with them. After all, he also has the background of two teachers.
Isn’t it just a county? It’s okay. At worst, it will become a test field for my son in the middle of the country. Zhang Zuolin happily accepted the agreement: "I will settle this matter when I get back." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 271 The Contest between China and Japan regarding World War I (Part 1)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Although the restoration lasted only twelve days, it was an extremely important turning point in the history of the Republic of China. This restoration directly led to Duan Qirui's comeback and the rise of the two major warlords of Zhizhi and Fengzhi, and completely overturned the two major legal systems since the Republic of China (Sun Yixian and Yuan Shikai). After the restoration, the differentiation of interests of the Beiyang Group became more obvious. After the restoration, the military confrontation between Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang finally turned the dispute between the "Presidential Office" and the "State Council" since the founding of the Republic of China into force. Taking Zhang Xun's restoration as the boundary, since the founding of the Republic of China, the institutional disputes and political disputes between the "cabinet system" and the "presidential system", the Beiyang Group and the Panzi Party (revolutionaries) have evolved into a naked power game and Military contest.
What is beneficial to Zhang Hanqing is that with his series of actions, the political situation in Northeast China turned towards Zhang Zuolin faster than in official history. Zhang Zuolin now seems to be the representative of the entire Northeast, and a faction independent from other political groups is ready to emerge.
Because of the restoration of Zhang Xun and the call for Dharma protectors, Guangdong Governor Zhu Qinglan invited Sun Yixian to go to Guangdong. Cheng Biguang became independent in the navy and took Sun, Tang Shaoyi, Wang Zhaoming, Wu Tingfang and others south to Guangzhou. When he arrived in Guangzhou, Duan Qirui was "rebuilding the republic" and refused to restore the 1913 elected Congress that was abolished by Zhang Xun. As a result, the Congress, which has a majority of KMT members, is completely at a loss. Therefore, Sun Yat-sen called on members of Congress to go to Guangzhou, convene an extraordinary session of Congress, launch a law-protection movement (also known as the three revolutions), organize a law-protection government and take office as generalissimo, and vow to fight for the Northern Expedition.
Duan Qirui wants to unify by force, and a military expedition to the south will cost a lot of money. Where will the money come from? There is only one way to borrow money. At that time, due to the fierce war in Europe, Britain and France were unable to borrow money, so Japan took the opportunity to move in. At this time, Duan Qirui also wanted to use Japan's support to achieve his dream of conquering the South and unifying the country, so he re-appointed Cao Rulin and asked him to also serve as the chief financial officer. Because Cao Cao was a well-known pro-Japanese faction, Duan Qirui later attacked and betrayed the country for the people during this period.
At this time, the Chinese people's fear and hostility towards Japan were parallel, as can be seen from the reaction to the 21st Anniversary. Premier Duan is well aware that his reputation is still somewhat different from that of President Yuan - at least in the hands of President Yuan, the Beiyang faction has not been broken down into Zhizhi, Feng, Anhui, etc. What even President Yuan Da dared not do, if he openly borrowed money from Japan and agreed to some shady conditions, he would be directly accused of treason.
Since we need the cover of righteousness, regaining the righteousness that led us to join the First World War is a good cover.
A few years ago, in July 1914, the international situation suddenly changed and the First World War broke out. To go to war or not to go to war? If you participate in a war, which side will you fight on? These issues are a major test for China.
China initially chose to stay out of the matter.
Judging from the international and domestic situation at that time, China's neutrality was a natural choice and was in line with China's national conditions. First, the war has no direct relationship with China. No matter Germany, Austria, Britain or France, there is no such thing as humanity or justice. They are all robbers who invaded China. There is no need for China to serve the great powers. Moreover, participating in the war has no direct benefit to China. Second, China is weak and does not have the power to join any party in fighting, nor does it have the power to stop any party's misbehavior in China. The third is the fear of war with Western powers. In modern times, China has suffered repeated defeats, setbacks, and humiliations in its wars against the invasion of foreign powers. This has given the Chinese people a latent fear of Western powers and they avoid them.
However, whether you participate in the war or remain neutral, you still need abilities. Since China has no power to participate in the war, how about safeguarding its own interests through neutrality? In an era where the jungle prevails, China's desire to stay out is just wishful thinking.
Although both sides of the European War had a small number of troops in China, since China was far away from the European battlefield, it would not have a significant impact on the outcome of the war. Therefore, China's restriction of theaters was approved by both warring parties. It stands to reason that since both sides in the European war have this intention, the war in the Far East seems to be able to be eliminated. However, China's hope of limiting the theater of war met with resistance from Japan. At this time, the great powers were involved in the war in Europe and had no time to look eastward. Japan was eager for the war to spread to Asia as soon as possible and take the opportunity to expand its aggression against China.
On the pretext of declaring war on Germany, the Japanese cabinet passed the decision to join the war. The day after China declared neutrality, the Japanese fleet appeared in great force off the coast of Jiaozhou Bay, the German leased territory, ready to take advantage of the situation. On September 2 of that year, Japanese troops landed at Longkou on the north coast of the Shandong Peninsula, far away from Jiaozhou Bay. This is the second time that Japan has chosen to fight another war on Chinese soil after the Russo-Japanese War.
In order to prevent the great powers from fighting over each other in China, the Beijing government has long promulgated Article 24 of the "Regulations on Outsider Neutrality of the Republic of China": "The belligerents shall not occupy or engage in belligerent behavior within China's territorial waters; anywhere on China's sea and land, They are not allowed to rely on it as a base to attack.??people. The troops, ordnance, and baggage of the belligerent countries are not allowed to pass through China's territory and territorial waters. Anyone who violates the provisions of the preceding paragraph should listen to Chinese officials to disarm. ", "When any belligerent country violates China's neutrality regulations, if China uses various methods to prevent it, it shall not be regarded as an act of provocation. "Obviously, the Chinese government's regulations are fully in line with the principles of international law regarding the rights of neutral countries. If all parties respect the principles of international law, China's sovereignty should be protected.
But in the jungle era where the jungle prevails, these words are like children playing house, and no adults will take them seriously. In order to limit the spread of the war in China, the weak Chinese government once again made concessions and was forced to delineate war zones on its own territory to limit the scope of Japanese troops' activities. On September 3, the Beijing government issued a note to the ministers of various countries and designated Longkou, Laizhou and the surrounding areas connecting Jiaozhou Bay as "war zones."
However, Japan turned a deaf ear to this. The Japanese troops who landed first marched westward along the railway, occupied Jinan, controlled the Jiaoji Railway, and finally captured Qingdao on November 7. In the face of China's protests, Japan actually warned the Chinese government: "Any resistance from China will be considered as aiding Japan's enemies, and China must bear responsibility for all serious consequences arising therefrom." So far, the Chinese government | All the efforts of the government were in vain, and the desire to avoid the war was finally in vain, and it fell into a situation of "being in the middle but unable to stand".
This result was actually expected by everyone. The Chinese government has judged that the showdown between Britain, France, and Russia against Germany, Austria, and Italy will have the greatest impact on China's interests and be full of variables: Shandong's sovereignty. At that time, Japan's coveting of Shandong was already obvious.
According to the British "Times" reporter in Beijing, Morrison, Yuan Shikai had expected that Japan might take the opportunity of the war to seize Jiaozhou Bay and the Jiaoji Railway. In order to avoid this outcome, Yuan Shikai once expressed to the British Minister to China Zhu Erdian that he hoped to join the war and was willing to provide 50,000 troops to besiege Qingdao with the Allied Powers, thereby recovering Jiaozhou Bay and the Jiaoji Railway. However, Zhu Erdian believed that cooperation with China was unnecessary and rejected China's request to participate in the war.
Of course, cunning Japan is well aware of China’s intentions and is firmly opposed to this plan. Japanese Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato issued a warning to the Chinese Minister in Japan, Lu Zongyu: The area is limited and China maintains neutrality, so there is no reason for pre-war. Kato Takaaki also deceived Lu Zongyu (the then Minister to Japan): "This is for the sake of maintaining peace in East Asia forever. He has no ambition to occupy land, and he sincerely expresses friendship to China. He expresses his sincere friendship to China. He deeply hopes that the Chinese government will trust Japan with sincerity." It is a good thing for the government to talk honestly with each other when it comes to problems." Blinded by the opposition of Britain and the coercion of Japan, and the outbreak of the national defense movement in Yunnan, Yuan Shikai was anxious to keep peace and no longer considered participating in the war.
In this way, Japan not only fought a war, but also occupied Qingdao, controlled Jiaodong Bay, and monopolized its interests in Shandong. The idea of ??China participating in the war for the first time was stillborn.
As the war in Europe continues, major members of the Allied Powers such as Britain, France, and Russia, after experiencing huge losses, realized that the war would not end in the short term, and they faced many difficulties in winning the war. Therefore, in order to gather more countries to fight against Germany and to expel German interests in China, the Allies wanted to urge China to participate in the war against Germany.
In fact, as early as November 7, 1915, the British Minister Juldian and the Russian Minister Kupenschi proposed to the Chinese side that they hoped that China would provide arms exports to the Allied Powers on the condition that they provide loans to China and help China expand its arsenal. This is a rare opportunity for China - there is no need to attract investment, others provide money and technology, and you can not only train people, but also increase export earnings!
" Japan was very panicked after receiving the news, and used almost all means and power to prevent China from participating in the war. Japan's Minister to China, Masashi Hiki, was immediately ordered to go to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to question the matter. The Beijing government was timid and did not dare to answer truthfully and directly. It even replied to Japan that "after investigation, this matter is untrue, and Britain and Russia have not made any suggestions." Later, although it was admitted that Russia did hope that China could provide arms to it, it refused because it would hinder neutrality.
Faced with Japan’s inquiries, the United Kingdom also said that it had not negotiated with China about participating in the war in order to avoid losing Japan’s support at a critical moment. Subsequently, Japan declared to the governments of Britain, Russia, and France that Japan occupies a special position in China. Regarding China issues, the three Western countries must obtain Japan's consent before they can take action. Finally, the Allies not only refused China to directly participate in the war, but also allowed Japan to dominate the Allied Far East policy.
China’s second attempt to join the war also ended in failure.
Time turns to early 1917, when Germany announced that “vessels from belligerent or neutral countries will be attacked by German submarines,” which was known as unrestricted submarine war in history. Germany's policy of expanding the war has harmed U.S. interests overseas. On February 3, 1917, the United States announced the cessation of diplomatic relations with Germany and informed China of the situation, hoping to take concerted action. This move by the United States has put the topic of China's participation in the war on the table. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 272 The contest between China and Japan regarding World War I (Part 2)

This time, Japan’s attitude changed drastically and it even vigorously urged China to sever diplomatic relations with Germany. On the day China lodged its protest to Germany, the Japanese Foreign Minister told the Chinese Minister in Japan that there was no need to lodge a protest first, and there was no need to wait for Germany's response to the protest. They could directly announce the cessation of diplomatic relations, and strongly encouraged China to join the war as soon as possible.
Why has Japan’s attitude toward China’s participation in the war fundamentally changed? First, Yuan Shikai is dead, and the real power of the Chinese government is in the hands of the warlord Duan Qirui. Duan Qirui is a pro-Japanese faction. If China joins the war, Japan can use Duan Qirui to strengthen its power in China. Second, Japan has successively obtained promises from the Western powers that it will inherit Germany's interests in Shandong, and its approval of China's participation in the war can be exchanged for further recognition by the powers.
When the great powers overwhelmingly supported China's participation in the war, a major debate arose within China over the issue of participation in the war. Diplomats, politicians, military generals and all walks of life were involved in the debate. Although there are different opinions, the mainstream opinion still recommends that China participate in the war. It is believed that China's participation in the war against Germany is from a small perspective, in order to deal with Japan and to occupy a place at the post-war peace conference; in the long term, it is to join the international community. Going international will give China a say in the new world order.
Duan Qirui, who is in charge of the government, also believes: "Japan has joined. If I don't join, Japan will definitely plunder Qingdao." And "Although Germany is a powerful country today, it is difficult to cause public anger. It is expected that it will be difficult to win. In the future, the Allied Powers will gain access to Qingdao." If China wins, China will become an outsider, but if our country participates, it will be a completely different situation. By then, China will also be one of the victorious countries, and having a seat at the peace conference will definitely enhance China's international reputation.
So, on August 14, 1917, after about half a year of struggle and debate, the Chinese government declared war on Germany. At this time, there was still less than a year and three months before the end of World War I on November 11, 1918.
After China entered the war, it immediately recovered the German and Austrian concessions in Tianjin and Hankou, revoked the consular jurisdiction of the two countries, and obtained a promise from the Allied Powers: the repayment of the Boxer Indemnity would be suspended for five years starting from December 1917 (Russia only agreed to postpone the repayment of 1/3) , without interest; German-Austrian reparations are permanently canceled (accounting for 20.91%, including more than 90 million taels for Germany and 4 million taels for Austria-Hungary); the 5% fixed tax rate stipulated in the "agreement tariff" clause of the Treaty of Nanjing is changed, and the country increases it by 5% Tariffs; China is allowed to temporarily station troops within 20 miles around Tianjin to prevent German and Austrian expatriates.
In this way, the Beiyang government not only obtained conditions favorable to China in the Treaty of Versailles, but also obtained war compensation of approximately 84 million yuan from Germany. Including the German ships China acquired during the war and the Boxer Indemnity that was waived, China's total revenue reached 250 million yuan.
Generally speaking, China’s participation in World War I not only successfully integrated into the world structure, but also reaped huge rewards with relatively small efforts. It can be called a brilliant diplomatic victory.
Although China was a participant in the war, it did not send combat troops to Europe. On September 14, 1917, the Chinese government officially announced its willingness to send troops to France to participate in the war, and proposed that China could send 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers to France within 6 weeks. However, since Japan did not send a single soldier to the European battlefield for the Allied Powers, Japan did not want China to send troops. Under the strong obstruction of Western powers, including Japan, China was ultimately unable to send troops to participate in the war.
Because China failed to send troops to participate in the war, it was called "declaring no war." On the Allied side, some people ridiculed China for its "ineffective participation in the war" and for being a "theoretical participant in the war." Later, Japanese representatives at the Paris Peace Conference accused China of "not sending troops, not declaring war, not sending out invitations, not making seats."
Although China did not send troops to participate in the war, it "replaced troops with work", sent a large number of workers to the European battlefield, and sent large quantities of food to some Allied countries, making an indelible and significant contribution to the victory of the war. To say that China was a special participant in the First World War is because, as a victorious country, it did not receive the respect and treatment that a victorious country deserves. The purpose of China's participation in the war was not achieved at all. It was a humiliating participant and even more a humiliating victor. .
In China’s modern history, Japan has always played an extremely bad role. It is the chief culprit in bullying China among the great powers and is also China’s most dangerous enemy. After the outbreak of World War I, Japan took advantage of the situation and seized Shandong's rights and interests in the name of declaring war on Germany to realize its expansion ambitions. On the issue of China's participation in the war, Japan has repeatedly obstructed it, which is the biggest obstacle to China's participation in the war. China tried to solve the Shandong issue by participating in the war and made a huge contribution to the victory of World War I. However, it suffered humiliation at the Paris Peace Conference and failed to regain Shandong sovereignty. The root cause also lies in Japan. Today's China must still be wary of Japan and be on guard against Japan.
Any sovereign country should have the right to make a choice when faced with a war. However, China's participation in World War I could not be decided by itself. Instead, it was controlled by the great powers, and its destiny was in the hands of others. The road to war is tortuous, difficult and long, which is sad, sighing and thought-provoking. A weak country has no diplomacy, and a weak country has no role in international affairs.?Having no voice, we must always remember. History has shown us: prosperity is the last word; if a country is weak, it will be bullied by others, and if it falls behind, it will be beaten. Only by becoming a powerful country can China maintain its territorial sovereignty and national unity, get along with other countries on an equal footing, and have its due position on the world stage.
Although China’s participation in the war contained elements of conformity to strength, it failed to receive equal treatment at the Paris Peace Conference and failed to achieve its intended goals. However, China's decision itself is positive and groundbreaking. By participating in the war, all unequal treaties with Germany and Austria were abolished, setting a precedent for modern China to abolish imperialist privileges in China; it stopped or postponed the payment of the Boxer Indemnity and other interest payments on loans to Germany, to a certain extent. Reduce the burden on the Chinese people. From a broad perspective, China's participation in the war won a ticket to enter the international community. For the first time, it participated in the rearrangement of the international relations system as a victorious country. It became a founding member of the League of Nations and established a closer institutional relationship with the international community. connect.
??Revolving around the time before and after China and Japan entered the First World War, the essence was a competition between the power of China and Japan, and between the central government of Beiyang and Anhui.
Since war has been declared, it is natural that there must be troops that can fight on behalf of China against the Allies. Relying on the existing army, there is no need to think about it. In comparison, the gap between Japan and Soviet Russia on land was not generally large, and Soviet Russia's army disadvantage compared to Germany was also incomparable. As for China, its weapons during World War II were not as good as the Japanese military's equipment during World War I. Such troops, going to meet the great powers in Europe where mechanized warfare is practiced, what else can they do but seek torture and death? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 273 China’s participation in the war
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Comparing the firepower equipment of an ordinary German army division, we can see: 2 brigades and 4 regiments (infantry), each regiment has 1 mortar company and 6 launch barrels. And machine guns spread to the squad. The heavy firepower is an artillery regiment under the division's jurisdiction, equipped with 60 75mm gun or 105mm cannon.
As for China's best army divisions, they have the same structure (at this time, China's divisions followed Germany's, and they were all 2 brigades and 4 regiments). Each regiment only has 1 heavy machine gun company (Maxin water-cooled type), 4 to 6 machine guns, and the division The artillery regiment has 54 75mm mountain guns or field guns.
Remember, there are currently only 6 such divisions in China. The other units are considered first-rate and are only equipped with an 18-gun artillery battalion. The even worse ones are the no-name units with "no artillery in the artillery unit and no horses in the cavalry unit." mentioned.
What needs to be known is that German Army divisions have always fought under the suppression of the enemy's firepower by the superior artillery force. These military artillery has a caliber of more than 125mm
“ Moreover, Germany’s logistical support capabilities, troop mobility, and training quality of its officers and soldiers are not comparable to those of the Chinese army. For the same division, the German division can be worth 3 to 4 Chinese divisions! This is the gap in national strength, and there is no doubt about it.
This is still the best time in modern China. In the official history of the Korean War between China and the United States, the Volunteer Army has not been able to absorb the U.S. Army into an organized regiment. China has not even completely wiped out a U.S. battalion. There is no precedent!
Therefore, if Duan Qirui wants to join the war at this time, it will cost a lot of money, and it is inevitable that he will be dissatisfied by President Feng Guozhang, who replaced Li.
Before, Zhang Guogan, who had been working hard to mediate the dispute between the government and the Yuan, urged Duan Qirui to welcome Li Yuanhong's restoration. He said: "Relatively speaking, it is actually easier to work with Li Yuanhong, because he has no soldiers and has just experienced setbacks, so he will learn lessons; while Feng Guozhang has military power and is a new official, so he must be aggressive and aggressive when encountering difficulties. It’s harder to deal with.”
Zhang Guogan's analysis is very sensible, and it is entirely out of his love and affection for Duan Qirui. If Duan Qirui can accept it, he can learn from the ancients and create a new win-win situation. It's a pity that he was very worried about Li Yuanhong's dismissal of him, so he finally abandoned the official position for personal reasons, forgot his loyalty with anger, and rejected this suggestion.
??Feng Guozhang, the old Beiyang man, entered power in Beijing. Together with Foreign Minister Wang Shizhen, the three Beiyang "dragon, tiger, and dog" brothers began their honeymoon career that should theoretically be like glue. They relived the old friendship between the "Three Heroes of Beiyang" and said, "We old brothers are three in one body, regardless of the president, prime minister, or chief minister. We just want to work together to do things. From now on, there will no longer be any disputes between the government and the court."
? In fact it is not.
Friendship is friendship, politics is politics. The first thing Duan Qirui did after he came back to power was to increase the power of the cabinet and make the president completely a decoration. Duan Qirui made great contributions to the development of the Republic of China three times in a row, so he was known as the "Three Creations of the Republic". "Three Creations of the Republic" is Duan Qirui's political capital and his magic weapon to elevate himself and attack others, so he often prides himself on this.
He and Li Yuanhong had a big dispute over power. Li Yuanhong lost because he had no backing; but when Feng Guozhang, who was not weak in power, came to power, the two gradually started to quarrel due to political differences.
Although Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang belong to the same Beiyang camp, they belong to different factions: the Zhili clique and the Anhui clique. The two enemies actually officially fell out with each other before President Yuan's body was still cold, and the generals from various provinces also joined forces, thus forming the most spectacular factions of the Beiyang warlords and Anhui in modern Chinese history.
At this time, the Zhili clique's forces were mainly distributed in Jiangsu, Shandong, Beijing, Hebei, and Jiangxi, and were considered home in Beijing and Tianjin; while the Anhui clique occupied Shaanxi, Anhui, and Zhejiang, and Duan Qirui was re-elected as Army Chief for seven terms in the Central Government | The deep connections and influence cultivated by the government. In addition, the "Defense Movement" forces headed by Sun Yat-sen will also form a Dharma-protecting government in Guangdong and serve as the generalissimo, forming a confrontation with the north.
The Zhili clique is supported by Britain and the United States; the Anhui clique is supported by Japan; and the Guangdong regime echoes Britain and Japan at the same time, but is not recognized by the mainstream of the international community. If time and space had not changed, it would have turned to Soviet Russia soon, thus forming Sun Yat-sen's policy of "alliance with Russia to accommodate the Communist Party and support agriculture and industry."
At this time, the Feng Faction has not yet completed the integration of forces and does not have relatively large energy on the political stage. However, the disputes between the first three marked the official entry of modern China into the most chaotic era of warlords.
With the current strength, Duan Qirui thought that he might not be able to have an advantage over Feng Guozhang. If there was an opportunity to add a few more troops, the situation would be different. This was Duan Qirui's selfish motive for supporting the declaration of war against Germany. Since most of the country's military forces were controlled by provincial governors at this time, and the "National Defense Force" in the full sense did not yet exist, Duan Qirui wanted to take the opportunity to restart the process and recruit new troops.??Buy horses, in this way, the famous "Chinese Participating Army" is freshly released.
This team that meets Premier Duan's wishes is initially determined to be six divisions, which will completely create an overwhelming advantage over the other Beiyang armies. But Feng Guozhang complained because the price was too high. Hey, all the money from the treasury was given to you to expand the army. Who are you going to deal with? ! In the end, there was no other way, and the participating armies were reduced to three divisions and three mixed brigades.
The organization is similar to that of the Beiyang Army, but the firepower is significantly enhanced, because the artillery has actually increased, not just in vain. These three divisions each have a complete artillery regiment, imitating the Japanese style of 36 guns; the brigade adds a 12-gun mountain artillery battalion; the regiment adds a 4-gun infantry artillery company; very importantly, the machine guns are decentralized to Battalion level. In terms of overall equipment strength, it is better than any division of the Beiyang Army.
The mixed brigade has three infantry regiments and is equipped with artillery battalions, engineering battalions, and communications battalions. It is almost the same as the original guard brigade led by Zhang Hanqing (of course it is the same, Zhang Hanqing originally cloned his independent brigade) . The heavy artillery was temporarily unable to be raised. Like Zhang Hanqing, the structure was built first. The future establishment was to govern a field artillery battalion. At least, in the future, in the name of "China's Participating Army," it will be convenient to ask for pay and guns, right?
In addition, there is a training office including a heavy artillery battalion and an armored vehicle company.
Duan Qirui took advantage of the European War to take over the Chinese participating army (because the commander was his confidant Xu Shuzheng), and its strength greatly increased. If he finally masters it, his power will be superior to all parties and he will become the most powerful person in China after Yuan Shikai.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: We also start recruiting troops at the Tianjin station. A very normal and very troublesome problem has never been solved, and that is funding. When the cannon goes off, there is a thousand taels of gold. To build a new type of army that can compete with European powers on a small scale, the equipment alone is a huge expense. A weak national treasury is not enough. In order to deal with the "war to protect the country" in the southwest and southeast, Lao Yuan almost emptied his family fortune. Where did the money come from?
Even if China does not have the ability to build heavy weapons and lacks the funds to purchase them, it cannot build light weapons. It has to buy them from Japan, its neighbor to the east. This is really a shame for China. But the situation is stronger than the person, there is nothing we can do! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 274 Nishihara Borrowing

Now is not the time to discuss this. For Duan Qirui, the first priority is to enrich himself and solve his own governance problems. In order to pay for joining the war army, he came up with the idea of ????loan from the Japanese. This was also a common problem among warlords during the civil war in the early Republic of China. Zhang Zuolin, for example, borrowed money from the Japanese several times to purchase arms.
Japan responded positively to Duan Qirui’s beckoning. In order to lend money to China, a special banking group was formed by the three banks of Korea, Taiwan, and Industrial Bank. The total amount of the loan was as high as 220 million yen. It was handled by the Japanese Nishihara Kamezo. This later became the famous "Nishihara loan" in official history. The matter is quite controversial in history.
The First World War created two nouveau riche, one for the United States and one for Japan. During World War I, Japan's foreign trade greatly exceeded its expectations and its financial strength was significantly enhanced. Due to excess domestic currency, inflation even occurred. This was a major background for Japan to borrow large amounts of money from China at that time. But what Nishihara and the Terauchi cabinet really want is not to do short-term small business that repays principal and interest one by one and makes a profit. What they want to do is medium- and long-term big business, and they want to support Duan Qirui and help him succeed. , in order to completely improve the Sino-Japanese relations that have deteriorated since the "21". Nishihara personally told Zhang Zongxiang that the temple longed for a strong person in China who could shoulder the important task of unifying China, and this person was Duan Qirui.
It is indeed the true wish of the temple to be optimistic about and support Duan Qirui's administration. Since then, despite the ebb and flow of China's political arena, and the constant emergence of new strongmen in the military and political circles of the north and south, some of whom were even more powerful than Duan Qirui, the temple had never criticized anyone other than Duan Qirui until he stepped down. After looking at and dealing with it, it can be regarded as very thorough and unwavering.
In response to Duan Qirui’s request for a loan, the temple cabinet almost always refused. From 1917 to 1918, Nishihara alone handled a total of eight loans to China, which were collectively referred to as "Nishihara loans". On one occasion, Nishihara made three loans in one day, each worth 20 million yen. The "Nishihara loan" totaled 145 million yen, but it only accounted for a part of Duan Qirui's loans to Japan. According to some statistics, the total amount reached 500 million yen (some data believe that it is close to 400 million yen). JPY). On the surface, these loans were lent by the Bank of Taiwan, the Bank of Korea and the Industrial Bank of Japan, but in fact they were all money allocated by the Japanese government from the national treasury reserves.
In order to deceive others, most of the loans were signed under the names of transportation, banking, railways, forestry and mining, telecommunications, etc. Five of the eight loans in the "Nishihara Loan" were in the name of transportation projects, and the amount reached 90 million yuan. The operation process is generally that the handling Ministry of Communications of China first collects the money, and then "lends" it to the Ministry of Finance to make up for the gaps in various military and political expenditures.
As the Deputy Minister of Transportation, Ye Gongchuo believed that the money was borrowed in the name of the Ministry of Transportation, and it was the responsibility of the Ministry of Transportation to repay the principal and interest. Therefore, he advocated keeping the borrowed money in the Ministry of Transportation’s special funds for future “business development and increased profits.” , there is still hope of return.” He personally went to see Duan Qirui and asked: "Such a loan has no economic plan. The borrowed money is used casually. How will the principal and interest be repaid in the future?"
Duan Qirui did not say anything about this, but said: "The Ministry of Finance should have a coordinating approach."
The Ministry of Finance is the department that uses money, so there is no way to coordinate or make money. Ye Gongchuo asserted: "Prime Minister, if you do this, the principal and interest of Xiyuan's loan will eventually be lost. What will we use to repay it then?"
Duan Qirui is not a fool, he is very clear about these things. In fact, when he first planned to borrow, he had no intention of repaying it. What he often told people around him was: "We are only using Japan for a while. Who is going to repay these loans? When the time comes, it will be over."
The reason why Duan Qirui dared to "look at it and it's over" is because all Japanese loans, including the "Nishihara loan", have loopholes that can be exploited. Their borrowing conditions are very low, and they all use wires, forests and other nominal things as collateral, which is equivalent to a blank check. Even if the Chinese government does not repay the loan in the end, Japanese creditors will not be able to dispose of the agreed collateral—— -Wires, forests and the like cannot be monetized at all!
In fact, in history, there was only one loan that the Chinese government actually paid off, and that was the first Bank of Communications loan in the "Nishihara loan". The rest became "big overdue debts." According to the loan contract, the Japanese side paid the full amount without taking any kickbacks or commissions, and later failed to recover even the principal and interest. From this perspective, it is equivalent to the Japanese government using its own treasury money to pay the Chinese government. |China does take advantage of the government's expenditures.
Of course, as the Prime Minister, Duan Qirui himself would not sign such an agreement to be used as a target for political opponents. He wanted to remain useful and detached from other matters so that he could have room for flexibility. This harmed Cao Rulin, the person in charge of the Japanese loan. , Lu Zongyu, Zhang ZongxiangThey requested the announcement of the Phoenix Mountain Mining Contract; the British Minister believed that the Yangtze River Basin was the British sphere of influence and Japan could not be allowed to interfere.
Jiangsu Governor Li Chun even pointed out that Fenghuang Mountain is under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu and is related to local issues. The opinions of local authorities should be sought before signing a contract. The tone contained a hint that even if the cabinet signed a mining treaty, he would not allow the Japanese to come to mine iron ore. It doesn't matter, he is from the direct line and Duan is from the Anhui line. The two families are already incompatible.
Just as he was worried about being unable to stop Duan Qirui, a major event suddenly halted the use of "Xiyuan Loan" for military purposes. It was Zhang Hanqing who promoted this matter. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 275 Disaster Relief (Part 1)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
At the turn of summer and autumn, there were heavy rains and floods that had been rare in decades in Hebei, Northeast and other places. Continuous heavy rains and flash floods in Hebei have overwhelmed the entire Gyeongsang region, with 103 disaster-stricken counties and more than 6 million victims.
This severe flood is related to the disrepair of the river. According to the subsequent disclosure on February 22, 1918 ("Declaration"), "the rivers in Gyeonggi Province have not been repaired for more than 20 years, and the embankments are completely incomplete. In this flood, five major rivers and dozens of small rivers rose simultaneously, causing flooding The cross currents flooded more than a hundred counties, covering an area so vast that all embankments and embankments were destroyed. After the people were affected by the disaster, they were unable to save their lives, so how could they spare any energy to prepare for dredging."
In old China, which had insufficient financial resources and frequent wars, natural disasters were followed by man-made disasters. Zhang Zuolin has stabilized Fengtian, and Zhang Hanqing's People's Party has gradually penetrated into every corner of Fengtian and established relatively tight party organizations in some grassroots units. Therefore, for this disaster in Northeast China, the Fengtian Civil Affairs Bureau and the People's Party were able to play a huge role in minimizing the disaster losses and quickly and decisively resumed post-disaster reconstruction in addition to rescue, so that the victims could stand on their own feet. To this end, Zhang Hanqing advocated the establishment of an Agricultural and Industrial Committee, which was responsible for guiding the work of the Fengtian and Heilongjiang Agriculture Departments and Water Resources Departments, with Mo Dehui serving as the director. It is generally believed that this is the starting point of the Young Marshal's people in politics in a complete sense - before that, Mo Dehui was the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau appointed by the Young Marshal and was controlled by Liu Shangqing, the director of the Finance and Economics Committee.
On the other hand, in Guanzhong, because they did not receive the attention of the government - with the methods of these bureaucrats, they were unable to effectively organize active rescue forces. The victims were displaced and had no food or clothing. The tragedy was unbearable to see.
"Beijing Times" reported: "About 350,000 people have taken refuge along the Baihe River and elsewhere. They lack food and clothing, and those who see it are sad."
"There are three breaches in the South Canal, and Tianjin is in danger. There is a shortage of food, firewood, drinking water, etc. Outside the Southwest Pass, as well as Nankainan City, the Japanese Concession, etc., the water is all up to their chests. Hundreds of thousands of refugees are flooded, supporting the elderly and the young. It is unspeakably miserable. "
"The water in Tianjin's rivers has risen sharply, and all the villages along the rivers have become Zeguo."
The apartment of former Prime Minister Xiong Xiling, who has been living in seclusion in Tianjin, was also swallowed by the river. Xiong Xiling, who was in the disaster area, witnessed the tragic situation of the victims and the incompetence of the officials. He immediately rushed to Beijing and asked the Bank of China Association for help. He received a donation of more than 10,000 yuan and gave it to the Beijing Police Department to purchase grain and transport it to Tianjin. Disaster relief. At the same time, he also put forward disaster relief suggestions to the government and strongly advocated that the government come forward to raise funds to relieve all the hungry people in the disaster areas.
His suggestion was submitted to the State Council for discussion, and the cabinet members unanimously agreed that it could not be defined unless Xiong Xiling stepped forward to take charge of the relief work. The government tried to take the opportunity to force him to return to his job in the department. Xiong Xiling was also worried that if he did not come out to provide relief and the government did not make a decision, "then millions of hungry people would have no hope of living a full life, so they would have to be spared." Disaster". In fact, since retiring from politics, he has regarded politics as sinful, but for the sake of the disaster victims, he had to end his "seclusion" life.
He was then specially assigned to supervise the aftermath of floods and river construction in the Gyeonggi area. He tried his best to subsidize the exiles, provide relief to the hungry, re-establish the Salesian Bureau, and adopt children in need.
Disaster relief requires huge sums of money, but the Beijing government's financial resources have dried up. President Feng Guozhang only ordered the Ministry of Finance to allocate 300,000 yuan to Xiong Xiling to rush for emergency relief. And with the severe cold approaching, millions will need to be spent on relief clothing for heating alone. Xiong Xiling decided to mobilize resources from civil society to make up for the lack of official funds.
On October 8, 1917, Xiong Xiling used his influence in society to send a call for relief to all provinces across the country, hoping that all gentlemen across the country would "sympathize with each other, and with the heart of being hungry and drowning, we would send a tasseled crown for rescue". When the relief power was sent out, Xiong Xiling led by example. He first donated 500 yuan in cash and then ordered his family members to sew 100 sets of cotton-padded clothes and donate them to the refugees. Driven by his appeal, groups and individuals continued to donate clothes and foreign donations, and foreign charity groups also helped.
At the same time, Xiong Xiling also joined forces with Liang Qichao and others to jointly launch a flood entertainment relief meeting, "collecting items, selling lottery tickets, and using all the proceeds to provide relief." And relying on his personal reputation, he borrowed millions of yuan from foreign banks as special relief funds. In addition, he generated electricity and asked the Tangshan, Kailuan and other land affairs bureaus to donate 5,000 tons of coal, and asked the Beiyang government to provide many conveniences for disaster relief.
This is a praiseworthy and respectable elder! An official with a conscience! However, with so many victims, it is difficult to rely solely on private efforts to help them. Even if it can be solved temporarily, it will be a failure of the government to turn the victims into poor people.
But the government is really powerless. Not to mention that the central finance is exhausted, even if the local princes are willing, it is difficult to come up with this money. What's more, the governors and governors are all eyeing their own three-acre land, and no one wants to take advantage of it——with this money, and You can enrich the army in your hands, and that is the right way to get promoted and make a fortune. As for the victims, what happened??Whoever rules should be responsible!
The north was originally poor. Even today’s Beijing and Tianjin were only slightly larger cities at that time. The luxury was only around the concessions, and most places were considered Africa. In addition, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi and other places can still achieve economic self-sufficiency in normal times. Once natural disasters occur, everyone will have nothing to do but to line their own pockets. Only real people like Lao Xiong can pay from their pockets.
Although these governors and governors do not want to pay, it does not prevent them from eyeing other people's wallets. There has been a lot of turmoil in Fengtian during this period. It seems that Zhang Zuolin has a lot of money in his pocket, so should he contribute something?
Of course Zhang Zuolin wants to donate, but Lao Zhang is a real person and he really doesn’t want to do something that is of no benefit just donating money. At first he wanted to think like other provincial officials, but he changed his mind after being persuaded by Zhang Hanqing.
The Northeast was indeed poor at the beginning of its development, but it could not cope with the fertile land and vast resources here. And Fengtian has the best economic conditions in the three eastern provinces: the most people from the Guandong area have settled here. After the Japanese industrial development here (actually plundering minerals), although they were exploited, the industrial base far exceeded that of Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces. After decades of development, it has become the richest province in the country.
When Feng Delin and he were fighting before, they didn't even bother to take care of him. After becoming the dominant family, Lao Zhang's mind began to expand. Not only did he become more interested in competing for the Northeast, he also began to cherish his feathers. Of course, his Xiyu was only for Fengtian.
When the disaster occurred in North China, Zhang Hanqing immediately sensitively believed that this was a good opportunity to enrich Fengtian. In addition to capital, technology, and talents, what is most needed to develop the economy is also the most important factor: people.
People are the basis of labor force and the premise of consumption power. The 30 million people in Fengtian are not too many for the entire province, but too few. Why did the Guards Brigade survive? The first reason is that there are large tracts of wasteland available for reclamation and use. With Fengtian's conditions, throwing in millions of people is not a problem. Of course, you need to survive the initial suffering.
Considering Lao Zhang’s ambition to conquer the entire Northeast, the number of people in the two provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang is extremely small. Isn’t it true that after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, a large number of educated youth from all over the country were attracted to go to the Great Northern Wilderness to open up wasteland and cultivate land? A mere 9 million people really cannot control such a vast land!
This is a God-given opportunity!
"Father, the population of the Northeast is small to begin with. Now that there are floods in North China and refugees are everywhere, we need to take the initiative to provide disaster relief and accept the victims. We can not only promote the name of my father's kindness, but also develop Fengtian's economy - this is two birds with one stone. "
Zhang Zuolin agrees with Zhang Hanqing’s idea. In the past, even if he had the will, he would be unable to resettle tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of victims at once. It would be a huge project: solving the famine would cost a lot of food. Floods and droughts would be followed by plagues. The problem of public security Now, Fengtian has sufficient food and good public security. What is testing is just the organizational ability of government officials at all levels.
Moreover, the extensive industrial model that Zhang Hanqing paved the way for the rise of Fengtian industry requires a large number of workers. The production model and habits based on agriculture for thousands of years have made land-owning farmers only work as temporary workers unless they have to, and they cannot recruit them for a while. To the abundant labor force, disaster victims are an excellent supplement.
"That's good, but taking in the victims is a very troublesome thing" Unlike Zhang Hanqing, Lao Zhang actually has the memory of fleeing famine. He sympathizes with the North China disaster and hopes to help when he can. This is The best of both worlds.
It’s just that he doesn’t have the energy.
"It doesn't matter, leave these co-ordination matters to me. The People's Party has not long been established, and it also needs to let grassroots party members and cadres go through some things."
Seeing that Xiao Liuzi wanted to take charge of things, and that this was a good deed that accumulated evil deeds, Zhang Zuolin expressed his full support. Of course, worried about Zhang Hanqing's lack of experience in political affairs, he still called Wang Yongjiang and gave him serious instructions.
Soon, the "North China Flood Fengtian Relief Committee" was formally established, with the young and outrageous Mr. Zhang as the director. As soon as he took office, he announced his willingness to accept disaster victims, accompanied by the slogan that everyone has heard since then: "When one side is in trouble, support from all sides will be provided."
In order to show his sincerity, Zhang Hanqing actively responded to Lao Xiong’s call. His two food factories, “Yi Tong” and “Master Yang”, urgently donated five million packs of instant noodles for free, which were delivered to the victims at the first opportunity.
This is the first disaster relief industry in China. Instant noodles have indeed provided very useful relief to the victims who have no food and clothing, and have won great praise from the people. The propaganda of "a pack of instant noodles plus a cup of boiling water is equal to one life" has also made instant noodles popular. The convenience and speed that instant noodles bring to the rescue of victims are reflected in the writings of reporters in disaster areas.
"Yi Tong instant noodles, connecting the disaster area and our hearts" and "Master Yang, the life-saving master", these are new advertisements that Zhang Hanqing later placed in major newspapers such as "Fengtian Times" and "Beijing Times". They also serve as "Yi Tong", "Master Yang" instant noodles made a dynamic advertisement. If we trace it back to the origin of China's advertising industry, we can almost call this a positive success. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)New advertisements placed in major newspapers and periodicals such as "Newspaper" and "Beijing Times" also made dynamic advertisements for "Yi Tong" and "Master Yang" instant noodles.

Chapter 276 Disaster Relief (Part 2)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The Fengtian Provincial Headquarters and the Heilongjiang Provincial Headquarters of the People’s Party also mobilized all walks of life in the Northeast and called on everyone to show mercy. Since the People's Party has been unable to make a breakthrough in the political arena, why not increase its influence and organizational capabilities? And this is also a good time to promote the People's Party in a positive way, although Zhang Hanqing does not want such a thing to happen from the bottom of his heart.
Zhang Zuolin was the first to donate 200,000 yuan, followed by Sun Liechen, Wu Junsheng, Bao Guiqing, Zhang Zuoxiang the 27th Division, the 28th Division, the Guards Division Yu Fengzhi, the young lady of the Marshal's Mansion, donated ten pairs of dynasties made by hand overnight After cloth shoes and promised to do this every day, "Fengtian Times" published an article praising: "What a dexterous hand can do this densely spaced needle eye! The needle and thread are connected to the people of Fengtian Our affection for the people in the disaster area expresses our heart-to-heart connection with the people in the disaster area!" (What a familiar writing style!)
In such a big country, disaster relief cannot rely solely on enterprises and individuals, and the role of the government cannot be ignored. However, Zhang Hanqing's instant noodles were shipped from Fengtian to Hebei, and the Beijing government's disaster relief plan had not yet been released, which made Zhang Hanqing furious. Many history books are singing praises for Duan Qirui: for example, he knelt down for the victims of the "August 13" tragedy in official history, stopped eating meat for the rest of his life, "six bad prime ministers", etc. They called him A politician who loves the people. However, he can borrow money from Japan to buy arms, but can't he allocate part of the arms money to help the victims survive this difficult period? They are all the people under the rule, living lives!
Moreover, there is news that when there was a great disaster in North China and hungry people were everywhere, the "Chinese War Army" took the opportunity to recruit new soldiers among the victims. The reason was that it could recruit at a very low price, which would normally cost a lot of money to recruit. Of course, in the early days of the Republic of China, when livelihoods were generally insecure, the so-called big price of being a soldier was nothing more than ten yuan of settlement allowance, a few yuan of annual salary and the temptation of having enough to eat.
And the cost of recruiting soldiers among the disaster victims is even lower - their requirements are also very simple, as long as they can have food to eat!
You must know that these strong men are the pillars and hope for the whole family to survive. Without them, the affected family will really have no way to survive. This move of the Anhui Clan is cruel, poisonous, and extremely inhumane. To do so is to completely give up on disaster relief, and it is a bit like taking chestnuts from the fire.
With both public and private thoughts in mind, Zhang Hanqing published an article in the Beijing Times, asking the Duan government to use part of the arms money as relief for the victims. This move gave the Zhili warlords who opposed the move of force southward finally found a point of fire. They called one after another and asked the government to provide full disaster relief. After spending the money, let's see what else you can do to join the war. If your old man uses the money to buy arms for charity, even if he sells some of his belongings, we will accept it!
Under the pressure, Duan Qirui could only slow down his recruitment of strong men, and could only use part of the money to provide disaster relief in a pretentious manner. Although he was reluctant, Zhang Hanqing's approach still saved many lives as much as possible. From this point of view, the dirty things he had done seemed insignificant.
In other words, through disaster relief, the "Master Yang" instant noodles in Zhang Hanqing's plate were also brought back to life. In order to compete with him for this brand of instant noodles, Feng Delin was deceived by him into almost selling the pot. Not only did the brand have little influence, but there was no market sales network. The worst part was that it was piled up like a mountain but could not be continued due to lack of funds. On the brink of bankruptcy. But something happened to Lao Feng later, and when Zhang Zuolin took over the 28th Division, Zhang Hanqing also reached out and took over the factory.
"Master Yang" originally tastes similar to "Yi Tong" - "Yi Tong" which has just formed the market has not yet worked hard on developing taste and changes - mainly because Zhang Hanqing has too many things to do and can't take care of this at all block, and there are no capable masters in the factory to optimize the process. Before Zhang Hanqing had time to think about how to open the "Master Yang" brand, he happened to encounter the flood. It’s a backlog anyway, so it’s better to give it to the victims. Unexpectedly, his unintentional act inspired reporters from Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei to report on his sincere love for the people as a young marshal outside the customs, and by the way, he also made "Master Yang" famous. This was unintentional.
The romantic young marshal becomes the benevolent and righteous marshal, the bearded marshal becomes the people-loving marshal. Heroes are true to their word regardless of their origins!
Public opinion is not one-sided, and people who are interested will also question the rumors that Zhang and his son are just showing off, and that Fengtian is taking the opportunity to increase political influence. In this regard, Xiong Xiling put it well: "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If the Zhang family and his son can survive countless lives on their own, they are great contributors to the nation. If it is just for show, Xiong is willing to join the party." "
In Fengtian, Zhang Hanqing and Zhang Zuolin talked in detail about his new plan, immigration.
Xinmin County has another bumper harvest of grain this summer. Not only has the number of acres increased, but after the land reform movement last October, land measurement and registration have become more mature, so the number of acres hasThe increase is limited.
Instead, farmers are more motivated to farm and are more enthusiastic about investing in their own fields. The new land reform of the Republic of China collected agricultural taxes based on the harvest in the summer of the sixth year of the Republic of China. The premium land is about 20 kilograms per mu—— This is the tax amount for the base five acres. If the harvest is good, this part will not increase, but the tax will be recalculated every five years. During this period, the more work you do, the more you will get.
In one fell swoop, the enthusiasm of farmers was established, and Fengtian’s shortcomings of having fewer people and more land were once again exposed.
It’s time to immigrate outside the country. However, the Chinese people have always followed the tradition of clinging to the hills. It is difficult to move from their hometown. People in Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong provinces with more people and less land moved to the Northeast, which has always been known as a bitter cold land. Immigration is difficult.
Now is a good opportunity. Because of the flood, my home was lost. Come to Fengtian and you can rebuild a home.
Zhang Zuolin held a meeting of the Fengtian Provincial Government to discuss the feasibility of immigrating to Fengtian. Participants believed that with the previous phase of the Provincial Land Reform Committee's survey, the rural land survey work in Fengtian Province has basically come to an end, and the fact that Fengtian has a large population and a small population is basically clear. They have a positive attitude towards immigrants coming here.
But how to arrange it, and which department is responsible for it, but everyone knows that this is a troublesome matter. Immigrants need food, clothing, housing, transportation, birth, old age, illness and death, their children need to go to school, and the population needs employment. Except for the top leaders of the government, no one has the power to integrate various departments to serve the new immigrants. This makes Zhang Zuolin There is a pain that good things come to an end in vain.
Zhang Hanqing was still brave enough to take charge of the task. He requested that the People's Party take charge of this area of ??work. For him, the People's Party has established People's Party headquarters all over the province, but now except for Xinmin County, they cannot have any administrative objections anywhere - it is inconsistent with the law. If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. As a result, the People's Party's voice in Fengtian is very weak, and it feels like it has been reduced to a "participation in politics | party" in later generations.
The old forces are unwilling to give up their power. This is a historical necessity. But when these old forces included his father, he was helpless. The People's Party has not experienced brutal struggles and has made no corresponding contributions in history. It is naturally unjustifiable to want to gain power in this way.
Now, he finally had the opportunity to legitimately have a place in the government, and Zhang Hanqing keenly seized this opportunity. The resettlement of immigrants naturally requires dealing with various departments. Whether the immigrants can be resettled well and integrated into the old groups will test the ability of local party committees. In addition, this is also a good opportunity to promote the People's Party to govern for the people.
Therefore, the Propaganda Department of the People’s Party vigorously called on the majority of People’s Party members and grassroots party organizations to actively prepare for the arrival of immigrants and discuss effective resettlement methods.
At the same time, Zhang Hanqing went to the front line of the floods to publicize the benefits of immigration outside the customs to the local government and social groups. In Wuqing, he explained to all walks of life the Northeast's various methods for resettling immigrants:
"In the past few days, I have visited many disaster areas and saw with my own eyes the tragic situation of people who are destitute. Here, I am entrusted by the Fengtian Provincial Government and solemnly announce that I will rescue 500,000 yuan of clothing and food within ten days. At the same time, Fengtian Major businesses also donated 300,000 yuan. Although it is a small amount of money, it represents the heart of the fellow countrymen.
“Teaching people how to fish is worse than teaching them how to fish. In addition to donating money, we also hope that the victims can support themselves. Rebuilding disaster-stricken areas requires a lot of investment, and judging from the current situation, this requires a huge amount of investment. Instead of waiting to rebuild after a disaster, start planning for a new home now.
There is vast and fertile land in the Northeast waiting to be cultivated. The people in the Northeast are the same as the people in the pass. They are descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. They write the same characters and speak the same words. They have been mobilized to jointly build a new Northeast.
Fengtian’s land reform pilot program will allow everyone to have land to farm and food to eat, provided you are willing to contribute.
“Don’t worry about not being able to find a place to live. I have arranged for the People’s Party to carry out resettlement work at various stations and docks in Fengtian. In the early stage, they will be placed in the homes of farmer brothers, and the government will provide food and clothing. According to government regulations, each immigrant can receive five acres of land for free, and the tax revenue is pitiful. According to calculations at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, it is not a problem for each person to feed two or three people. Now in Fengtian, there is no such thing as starvation to death. Otherwise, the director of the Civil Affairs Department would be the first official to be dismissed!
There is no need to worry about the long distance. We have negotiated with the Railway Bureau that women and children will take the Beijing-Fengtian line trains to Fengtian for free, and adult men with their families will also enjoy half-fare.
People who don’t want to work in agriculture and who originally worked in the city don’t have to worry. Now various factories and mines are springing up in Fengtian. There are also people in the city, together with government personnel from various streets and districts, to provide initial food and clothing. People with skills don't have to worry about their way out. Fengtian is big enough to accommodate them.
Don’t worry about unfamiliarity with the place, life there is the same as here. The vast majority of Northeastern people are actually descendants of people from Zhili and Shandong who came to Guandong in the first place. So, in order to live and live with dignity, come with me to the Northeast! "(Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)Familiar, life there is the same as here.

"The Northeastern immigrants mentioned by Zhang Hanqing have indeed resonated with many people, especially the victims who are in dire straits. Their homes were destroyed and they were left without a living. According to historical experience, if the rescue was not effective, they would eventually have to leave their homes and become beggars. Now, if there is a chance, how can you refuse?
However, there are still some people, especially those who don’t know much about the Northeast. Some of them have never even been to the county town in their lives. They are instinctively afraid of the bitter cold places outside the customs. They don’t believe that the Northeast is so good and the Northeastern people are so good. , the Northeastern government would be so kind. We have food, shelter, clothing, and free train rides. This is a good thing in the world. How can it fall on us? Isn't this young marshal just like the monster on the Jingfeng line who talks a lot about things? Another possibility is human trafficking.
Someone questioned Zhang Hanqing: "It's so cold in the Northeast that crops can't be grown. How can we survive in the past?"
Zhang Hanqing laughed, and asked: "Who said that? There are currently 30 million people in the Northeast, and there are no crops. Is everyone going to drink from the northwest wind?"
The man then said: "Even if we have it, can we feed so many of us?" In his mind, the concept of 30 million is zero, and one million victims is a huge number.
Zhang Hanqing knows that Chinese people are accustomed to following the herd mentality. He is also afraid that no one will ask questions and will not be able to communicate with each other. Of course it was a welcome move for someone to interact with him. He described the benefits of Northeast China in a sensational tone, but no one believed him. Do not believe? There are songs to prove it. When he got excited, he sang "My Home is in the Northeast" in front of everyone:
"Heyheyheyhey yo
My home is in the Northeast
On the Songhua River
There are soybeans and sorghum all over the mountains and fields
By the green mountains and green waters
Two big white poplar trees in front of the door
Neatly fenced yard
A small thatched house
Why…
My dad always wants to drink when he has something to do
Even if there is no food, you still have to drink two taels
A big bowl of tea and a big bowl of wine
Neighbors on both sides
Five leaders six sixty-six
The whole hall is filled with laughter
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
My mother’s voice has been loud since she was a child.
Every day she goes to school drinking folk songs
Singing like an old man
Put down his big pipe
The young man who sings straight
I miss his girl even more
Singing like an old lady
Put down your needlework and listen to a piece
A big girl who sings straight
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Forgot to wash clothes
“Ouch…yo”
Zhang Hanqing is the son of the military governor. His escape from the tiger's mouth in Beijing and his various performances in Fengtian are a legendary existence in the hearts of many people in Tianjin. Now, for the sake of the victims, he took the stage in person and opened up the stubborn hearts with a song that was difficult to express in a refined way. In this day and age, singing a pop song like this is truly a pioneering work. Although Zhang Hanqing's voice is not a golden one, everyone in the audience still found it refreshing - after all, it was a century ahead. Is this the legendary young marshal? Sure enough!
Zhang Hanqing, who comes from outside China, can be so emotional for the Tianjin victims. What else can be said? Reporters from all over the world acted on their conscience and sensationalized Zhang Hanqing's actions. Many victims were encouraged by Zhang Hanqing and felt that they could not survive the disaster with the government basically doing nothing, so they boarded the train heading north.
Zhang Hanqing lived up to his preamble and arranged for the People's Party's "Tianjin Disaster Victims Immigration Headquarters" to be established outside Tianjin Railway Station and set up branches in many places. Disaster victims passed preliminary screening and registration and were placed on special trains. There, responsible comrades of the People's Party from the Fengtian Provincial Headquarters and local branches were gradually settling people along the Beijing-Fengtian Line.
In the three months to the end of 1917, a total of approximately 400,000 disaster victims were admitted. Although the number of people was not large, it greatly eased the difficulty of disaster relief in Tianjin. The feats of Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing won unanimous praise from Chinese and foreign media.
Zhang Hanqing’s proposal to immigrate to the Northeast is a well-thought-out and historical necessity.
After the Manchus entered the customs, they regarded the outside of the customs as a forbidden area and did not allow the Han people to develop it. Even if the Yellow River flooded, leaving a large number of victims with no food to eat and no land to plant, and the vast black land in the northeast was empty, the people in the mainland were not allowed to develop it, preferring it to be abandoned. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty did not establish long-term military outposts in Heilongjiang. During the Kangxi period, they inspected twice a year. Later, they did not inspect once in several years, and directly appointed a local official.The chaos "buys people's hearts" and predicts that the victims will have a more tragic ending if they enter Fengtian. Because Zhang Hanqing is the son of a warlord, he cannot have such broad-mindedness and magnanimity. His love for the victims may be just a gimmick. .
In response to this, Zhang Hanqing responded with disdain and shamelessness, but he found another way and published a poem "I Love This Land" in the "Beijing News", expressing his deep love for the people with passionate and majestic momentum. , love for the country also blows the clarion call for new poetry to demand a place in the history of modern literature from old-style poetry:
If I were a bird,
I should also sing with my hoarse throat:
This land battered by storms,
This river of sorrow and anger is always surging with us,
This angry wind blows endlessly,
And the extremely gentle dawn coming from the forest
?—Then I died,
Even the feathers rotted in the soil.
Why do I always have tears in my eyes?
Because I love this land deeply(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 278 The spring snow in the mud
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The new poem shocked everyone. At this time, Xu Zhimo, the future poet representative of Crescent Society, was still studying at Peking University, Wen Yiduo was still working as his editor, Bian Zhilin was only seven years old, and Ai Qing, who was most taboo when Zhang Hanqing wrote this poem, was also only seven years old and had just read Jinshi Primary School
From then on, the young marshal was no longer the romantic young man who played with the world, but also had a flourishing literary talent. In the hearts of people in the capital, the "lecherous song" sung in the eight major alleys was nothing more than a temporary joke. Also, how can a young marshal who can write such a deep and touching poem compare with the ordinary romantic feelings?
What shocks the world about Zhang Hanqing's new-style poetry is not how good it is, but how advanced it is, so advanced that the world feels strange about it and finds it difficult to accept it, even though it sounds so disappointing. People feel profound. The atmosphere for appreciating it has not yet formed in this era. Only two years later, to be precise, two years later in official history, did the new style poetry officially shine its light. Now, newspapers just regard it as a piece of fabricated news, a piece of passion caused by Marshal Fengtian.
Just as Stephen Chow's "Westward Journey" became popular after Peking University students discovered its connotation a few years after its release, this seemingly inconspicuous new poem that should not cause waves was also discovered among a group of thoughtful people at Peking University. .
At this time, "New Youth" was only a comprehensive review publication, and it did not place much emphasis on creation. In addition to introducing the works of some European realist and other genre writers, the novels and poems published were all in classical Chinese. It was not until the beginning of the sixth year of the Republic of China that Li Dazhao published Hu Shi's "A Preliminary Discussion on Literary Reform" and Chen Duxiu's "On Literary Revolution", which officially launched the banner of "literary revolution".
By February of the seventh year of the Republic of China, "New Youth" published 8 vernacular poems by Hu Shi in Volume 2, Issue 6, which were the first batch of new vernacular poems to appear in the Chinese New Poetry Movement. However, because they are too "vernacular", these poems have their own significance in literary history, but their literary value is basically zero. Other authors Shen Yinmo and Liu Bannong also have no new ideas. They are basically still in an exploratory stage for the creation of new poems. Just because they strongly believe that vernacular Chinese has its advanced significance and can completely replace classical Chinese, they naturally have an urgent desire to attack the old-style poetry that occupies a huge place in classical Chinese.
The efforts in the initial stage of new poetry were to abolish the formal constraints of old-style poetry, advocate the inclusion of vernacular and common language in poetry, and express the poet's true feelings as the main content. Therefore, the new poetry was also called "vernacular poetry", "vernacular rhyme" and "Mandarin rhyme" at that time. But here and there, the new poems are not satisfactory. These heroes who have an important place in the history of Chinese literature - Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Qian Xuantong, Lu Xun, Hu Shi deeply believe in this idea and continue to fight for it, but this fumbling is too confusing. Anxious.
Zhang Hanqing’s poems are like lighting up a beacon for their wandering journey in the darkness. It turns out that new poems can be written like this, it turns out that new poems can be equally deep, emotional, and meaningful!
?????????????????????????????????"Facing the Sea, Flowers Falling and Blooming", Zhang Hanqing's first complete poem since his "debut", trying to study the origin, meaning and epoch-making clarion call of this new poem. Although they also revealed the past between him and the third lady of the Zhu family, it was finally defined as a love poem in a new style - but it did not hinder its greatness - it turns out that the new style poems can also be quite tactful when writing about hazy love!
Of course, it was not all applause, and the opposition was also quite loud. It was just that some conscientious literati were unwilling to criticize Zhang Hanqing too much because of his background in disaster relief when he wrote his poems. Another important reason is that Zhang Hanqing is a bureaucrat, not a scholar. Literati underestimate each other, that is, compared to their peers, it is not worth going to war for a poem that is half a play and half a scene. This is the attitude that many people do not refute after weighing it. In fact, this kind of neglect also shows that an attitude.
However, a great scholar who Zhang Hanqing admired very much in private expressed his opposition publicly. He was extremely dissatisfied with the spread of Zhang Hanqing's poems among the circles of literati who advocated the new culture. He sneered and said: "The new culture only uses newcomers who are still in their infancy to cover up their ignorance of Chinese studies. Now People don't know what they write, and the terms they use don't make sense. For example, let's talk about "reform" in new poetry. People in the past said "be good" and didn't say "reform". Since you are already a "good", why don't you "reform"? 'What? Do you want to change 'good' into 'prostitute'?"
This man is used to going against the trend. Even Yuan Shikai dared to scold him over and over again and even called him a "bastard". Why did he care about Zhang Hanqing? His direct attacks on new poetry were published in "Records of Chinese and Western Knowledge". Intimidated by his reputation for sophistry and his ability to scold, no one dared to face him head-on. Speaking of which, he is still the "mentor" of Zhang Hanqing who made him famous at Peking University.
Who is Zhang Hanqing? At this moment, he had no intention of being a disciple.Enlightenment. Respect is one thing, but refutation of literary theory is another. Even Aristotle once said, "I love my teacher, and I love the truth even more." This shows that the lack of clarification has existed in China and abroad since ancient times.
In his mind, he strongly agrees with what Wen Yuanning said in "A Thoughtful Common Man": "During his lifetime, Gu Hongming had already become a legendary figure; after his death, he may become a mythical figure. In fact, he was as different as He is not very different from the many people you meet every day now, he is just a naturally rebellious character."
He was not prepared to have a direct verbal spat with this scholarly geek, and that was not his strong suit, but he had to argue, not only for the New Culture Movement, but also for himself! He then shouted in the "Ta Kung Pao" from a distance. There was no direct confrontation, but he had the power to insinuate: "Xueliang has always expressed admiration for Mr. Gu's knowledge and his knowledge and theory of advocating China and suppressing foreign affairs. "Spring and Autumn Days" written by Mr. ”, we all admire you, then you should understand even more that the Spring and Autumn Period’s idea is to ‘inside China and outside the barbarians’. But you published an article in a barbarian newspaper, cursing us Chinese, which goes against the way you have always done, and you still Sir, please explain clearly?"
??Perhaps he said something crucial that went against the times. Anyway, Gu Hongming, who was known as a "literary fighter", rarely silenced his voice since then. Perhaps he thought that with his status, it would be useless to start a scolding with a petty bureaucrat like Zhang Hanqing. It is virtue for a disciple to respect his master and not dare to fight against him, but the master should also have some awareness.
????????????????????????????????????? However, a small episode, but the eyes of a group of people in the New Culture Movement were brightened. They had to know Zhang Hanqing's identity. Because of this, they urgently needed to recruit Zhang Hanqing into the group - the traditional power was too great. Zhang Hanqing has done his best for disaster relief. They know that universities in this era are not just sitting in their ivory towers doing their work. Zhang Hanqing's speech on disaster relief and his refreshing "Hymn to the Northeast" (the title of the song was not known at this time) all convinced them that this was a young man who did not stick to the old etiquette and could definitely become the star of "New Youth" represent. In addition, his status as a young commander is enough to double the power of the "New Culture" movement, which they believe is the direction of Chinese cultural development.
?This is also true.
They eagerly contacted Zhang Hanqing to inquire about his attitude on the matter.
The representative they sent was Qian Xuantong.
Qian Xuantong, who was refreshing and neat, with a bookish look on his face, together with those glasses, soon gave Zhang Hanqing a familiar feeling: campus life. Although he once quarreled with the opponent once when he was at Peking University, and he earned the reputation of "little madman", from an academic point of view, Zhang Hanqing respects him quite a bit.
He took the lead in proposing and drafting simplified Chinese characters, advocating the use of new punctuation marks, Arabic numerals, AD calendars, and horizontal writing of Chinese characters It can be said that the three major tasks of character reform after the founding of the People's Republic of China: simplifying Chinese characters, promoting Mandarin, and formulating and implementing the "Chinese Pinyin Plan." Qian Xuantong had done a lot of solid foundation work half a century ago, and he can be called the pioneer of writing reform. He is both a theoretician of the Mandarin Movement and a practitioner of language and writing work.
The time of “exchange” at Peking University was too short. Now, I finally have the opportunity to renew our relationship.
Qian Xuantong knows Zhang Hanqing to a certain extent——is it possible that he doesn't? An article titled "History of Shi's Lion Food" made him famous on the Peking University campus, and once made him doubt the extreme nature of the idea of ??canceling Chinese characters.
At the same time, the magnificent transformation from a dandy to a shrewd person in Beijing allowed many people who paid attention to see a far-sighted, responsible and resourceful young general. Then I heard that Fengtian’s military and political reforms, which shocked many observers, his establishment of a new type of army and successful suppression of bandits, and his new civil land reform, all aroused strong concern: both politics and military have performed well, this is Is this what a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old did?
But the facts are there, and the young marshal even wrote a touching new-style poem that made him feel like "heroes have emerged from youth since ancient times." Those who are capable can always do it. Seeing the trace of fatigue on Zhang Hanqing's heroic face due to the hard work of disaster relief in recent days, Qian Xuantong was deeply proud that the country has such talents.
Zhang Hanqing is not proud of this. This is what Qian Xuantong was worried about at first and is a problem that many young people have. Hearing that it was Qian Xuantong, Zhang Hanqing came forward to greet him very excitedly, without any air or arrogance of the young marshal.
"Professor Qian, I'm sorry to ask you to come here in person. I don't have any other place to sit here, so let's sit on the ground. I apologize for any negligence." This is a temporary straw shed to house the victims. There were no stools or tables, just a few straw-covered huts. Just now Zhang Hanqing was sitting on the ground like this.

Chapter 282 The Backbone of the Chinese People
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Sun Yixian wants to protect the law, where will the soldiers come from? Lu Rongting, the patrol envoy of Guangdong and Guangdong who controlled Guangdong, welcomed Sun Yixian into Guangdong in order to oppose Duan Qirui's armed reunification, which made him seem to have a backbone. Two days later, he took Zhang Taiyan, Zhu Zhixin, Liao Zhongkai, and Chen Jiongming to the south with two warships, "Haichen" and "Yingrui".
However, before arriving in Guangdong, the "Zhang Xun Restoration" came to an end, leaving him with no opponents. It doesn't matter, Duan Qirui is his new target.
The reason is that after Lao Duan defeated Zhang Xun and regained power, he refused to restore the Constitution and the Congress, adopted Liang Qichao's suggestions, and prepared to convene a separate "temporary Senate" to re-enact the organizational law and election law of the Congress and elect a new Congress, so as to eliminate the Kuomintang members' occupation. Advantages of the old Congress and the purpose of abolishing the Provisional Act.
This gives Sun Yat-sen a new reason to "protect the law". Not to mention, this brand is quite loud, and many people responded to it, such as Navy Chief Chen Biguang. He and the First Fleet Commander Lin Baoyi jointly supported the treaty, restored Congress, punished the culprits, and went south to submit to Sun Yat-sen with 10 warships in the fleet, accompanied by Tang Shaoyi and Wang Jingwei.
At the same time, the old members of Congress who were likely to be deprived of their identities were also strongly dissatisfied. They responded to Sun Yat-sen's call to open a new Congress in another place and went south to Guangdong. By mid-August, more than 150 members of Congress had arrived in Guangzhou.
These numbers were not enough according to the law, but the meeting was still held. It was called the Extraordinary Congress in history. They organized the military government of the Republic of China and established a general marshal, two marshals, and six ministries. In order to meet the needs of the war, the cabinet system stipulated in the "Provisional Constitution" was not adopted, but the general marshal system in the "Revolutionary Strategy" of the Chinese Revolutionary Party was adopted, which integrated the party, government and military.
Sun Yixian lived up to his high expectations and was elected as the general marshal. Local powerful factions Lu Rongting and Tang Jiyao (Yunnan Governor) were elected marshals, but the six ministers were all from the moderate faction of the Kuomintang. The local forces sent people to use guns, but they were ignored, which also planted hidden dangers for Lao Sun.
As the head of the Central Committee, Duan Qirui has the obligation to safeguard national unity, and he is prepared to unify China by force. Where does the money come from? Let’s go back to the original loan. But this time he didn't hide it, and he couldn't tell it away, because it was true. For this reason, he and Zhang Guogan, the famous "strength leader", had a lot of trouble.
When this contract is sent to the desk of Zhang Guogan, the director of agriculture and commerce, it should be approved and signed by the director of agriculture and commerce. However, Zhang Guogan refused to sign. Also serving in the Beiyang government, Zhang Guogan showed the Chinese character.
Who is this Zhang Guogan? Speaking of which, it is famous.
Zhang Guogan, whose courtesy name was Qianruo and Zhongjia, and whose name was Shigong, was born in Puqi, Hubei Province. Beiyang government official and scholar. Before the First Uprising in Wuchang, he was transferred to Beijing as deputy director of the Cabinet Bureau of Statistics; later he participated in the North-South peace talks with Tang Shaoyi as a "counselor" and won the favor of Yuan Shikai. In April 1912, he was appointed Director of the Civil Affairs Bureau of the State Council and Secretary-General of the State Council. He later served as Secretary-General of the Presidential Office, Undersecretary of the Interior, and Director-General of Education. When Li Yuanhong was in power, he continued to be favored because of his hometown connections, and served successively as Secretary-General of the Presidential Palace, Secretary-General of the State Council, Director-General of Agriculture and Commerce, Director-General of Justice, and President of the Water Conservancy Bureau. He dealt with the various factions of the Beiyang warlords, reconciled conflicts, and was valued by all parties. If he didn't sign, Duan Qirui, the Prime Minister, had nothing to do.
On November 1, Japanese Minister to China Hayashi Gonsuke personally went to the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce to threaten Zhang to sign. Zhang Guogan asked Lin Quanzhu whether he represented Japanese businessmen or the Japanese government? He said: "If you represent a businessman from your country, you should handle it in accordance with China's mining regulations. If you represent your government, this is the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. You and I have no status to talk. Please contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country." .”
Lin Quanzhu was speechless by Zhang, and he was too embarrassed to fall out, so he had to quit. Not long after, Zhang Guogan came to visit again, with a friendly face, and suggested that the case be transferred to the Ministry of War in accordance with the Japanese steel industry being managed by the Ministry of War. Zhang Guogan replied: "This is my country's internal affairs and I don't need you to worry about it."
Seeing that the matter was deadlocked, Duan Qirui sent Sun Runzi to bribe Zhang with 1.2 million yuan. The bribe was increased to 2 million yuan, but both were rejected. Tu Fengshu, secretary of the State Council, was also sent to persuade Zhang to leave Beijing in the name of inspecting the provincial peasant associations and let the acting deputy minister sign the iron ore contract on his behalf. Zhang Guogan also refused. Duan also adopted the method he used to deal with Sun Hongyi, the chief of internal affairs, and persuaded Zhang to transfer to the provincial governor to avoid being the brunt of the disaster, but Zhang refused.
Zhang Guogan is usually easy-going, but this time he was very determined. Duan Qirui finally sent his confidant Zeng Yujun to visit Zhang. He said many good things and asked Zhang for help. Zhang Guogan said: "If you don't sign, you are doing the Prime Minister a favor!"
Because the enemy is strong and we are weak, in the early days of the Republic of China when the Chinese people were generally afraid of the sun, it was commendable to have a strong leader like Zhang Guogan who would not lose power, humiliate the country, or submit to authority.
If it weren’t for the fact that things happened for a reason, Duan Qirui wouldn’t want to provoke this famous “strength person”"", it is really because the war situation in Europe is gradually showing signs of light, and he is eager to get a piece of the pie.
After the three continental battles (Battle of the Marne, Battle of Verdun, and Battle of the Somme) and one maritime battle (Battle of Jutland) in World War I, whatever happened in Russia in Eastern Europe was the so-called "February Revolution." "No matter what the outcome is, we cannot escape the inference that the Allies failed. Even after the Battle of the Marne, the German Chief of Staff Moltke told Kaiser Wilhelm II: "Your Majesty, we have lost the war."
Eager to join the winning side, especially to cater to the Japanese expectations of him, the Duan Qirui government bypassed Zhang Guogan and forcibly signed the contract. This is a serious violation of the spirit of the cabinet constitution: all important peace treaties require the signature of each cabinet minister before they can take effect. Upon seeing this, Zhang Guogan resigned angrily. Duan Qirui wanted to approve it, but did not dare to write it.
When Zhang Hanqing came to Beijing for the second time, his first stop was at the Zhang Mansion. He spoke highly of his words and deeds. Through his mouth, he expressed his father's praise as "the backbone of the country" and strongly invited Zhang Guogan to go outside the customs. , "Stay away from the center and do something practical." In the not-too-distant future, the three northeastern provinces will all come under my father's command as expected, and a large number of talents will be needed. Talents like Zhang Guogan, who are neither humble nor arrogant towards the Japanese, are exactly what he wants. Since the Japanese penetrated the Northeast very early and were included in the sphere of influence many times, more or less local forces have a layer-by-layer relationship with the Japanese. , how could Zhang Guogan be so pure and clean?
Zhang Guogan also heard about Zhang Zuolin's behavior: it is true that he is a warlord, and he has a tight grip on the barrel of a gun, but he is still very attentive to civil affairs, and the people under his rule are said to live a good life. Especially in the past two years, Fengtian Reform and Land Reform, as well as the establishment of many industries, have obviously made the financial situation much better, and the lives of ordinary people have indeed improved. Otherwise, why would there be such a large-scale immigration outside the customs?
He is also familiar with Zhang Hanqing: the previous search for flowers and willows in Beijing proved to be a self-deprecating act, which deceived Lao Yuan; the new army he organized was said to be as effective as the Northern armies. ; His drastic reforms and eclectic employment in Fengtian have surrounded him with many capable people, some of whom he knows include: Han Linchun, Mo Dehui, Liu Shangqing
I am still a little proud that he has found me. However, as a senior from the Republic of China, I am still not at ease about working under Zhang Zuolin. Firstly, Lao Zhang is too strong; secondly, I am worried that he will treat me badly. Too restrictive.
Zhang Hanqing knew this very well, and he said to Zhang Guogan: "My father knows very well that Mr. Zhang is a good official who has the ability to benefit the people, and we have the same opinion on making the lives of the people in the Northeast better and the place stronger. Later, my father also promised Xueliang that he would never interfere with Mr. Zhang’s employment and administration in Heilongjiang. On the contrary, as long as Mr. Zhang proposed the method, my father would create conditions even if he had no conditions. Although my father did not know a few Chinese characters, he was very interested in The promise is still kept. Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang."
"It is true that Zhang Zuolin made promises many times, but that was just for fun, and there would never be outsiders present. As for the promises made in public, Lao Zhang has never breached the contract. He has a good reputation for this, and Zhang Guogan has also heard about it.
In fact, many figures in the Republic of China are committed to their promises. The traditional Chinese "gentleman promises a thousand pieces of gold" is by no means a child's play, unlike modern Western politicians who use bigger lies to overdraw their credit. China is a country of credit practice with no credit record. Only in the commercial society has this trend been gradually replaced by very impersonal black and white letters.
As the European powers continued to fight, they naturally relaxed their economic aggression against China, giving China's national industry a "short spring". For this reason, the economic construction of Northeast China has reached a new level, and there is an urgent need for a large number of chief executives who understand economics and have integrity, especially those who cannot be compromised by the Japanese.
The election of Zhai Wen as governor is just a transitional matter. After autonomy, the Black Province still has many affairs that need a shrewd and capable governor. After all, Zhang Guogan has a huge reputation. If he can use it properly, it will benefit the country and the people, especially the old and young Zhang's outsiders. In view of this, Zhang Zuolin solemnly proposed to the Central Committee, asking Zhang Guogan to condescend to become the governor of the Black Province.
Duan Qirui also received a lot of pressure because of this matter. Zhang Zuolin's words were exactly what he wanted. If Zhang Guogan was willing, it would be a relief for him, otherwise it would be heartbreaking to watch him all the time! I'm afraid Zhang Guogan disagreed, as he had said the same thing before and was rejected. Unexpectedly, he only mentioned this, and just added: "I'm afraid Zhongjia thinks he has given in." Zhang Guogan said discouragedly: "I am not worthy of my name as a minister now, and I am not worthy of it. I can do something practical for the people of Heilongjiang Province." , How can I negotiate any compromise?"
Duan Qirui was also intoxicated by the fact that Qiang Ling was able to "live" under Zhang Zuolin, the strongman outside the customs, so happily. But he was able to leave, which was exactly what he wanted. He just said in his heart: "I wish you a safe journey."

What is puzzling is that Zhang Guogan's arrival in Heilongjiang was indeed a smooth sailing: Zhai Wenxuan resigned early to make way for him, and Zhang Zuolin lived up to his preamble and delegated all the administrative powers of officials stationed in Heilongjiang to him. He truly let go, which made Zhang Guogan worried. People were amazed.
Zhang Guogan was as strong as ever and quickly made many big moves in Heilongjiang Province, which matched Zhang Hanqing's measures to revitalize the province through industry. After taking power, Zhang Guogan refused to give in to the Japanese encroachment in the Black Province, which made the Japanese look at him. However, it was discovered that he had this kind of character, and even the powerful Duan Qirui could do nothing about him. Zhang Zuolin completely let it go, Bao Guiqing was just an empty airs, and the Japanese did not have the corresponding strength to back them up in the Black Province, so they had no choice but to be angry and dare not speak out. .
In the Republic of China, there was no one else who could do this for the Japanese except this person. Zhang Zuolin used him to fight the Japanese, which can be said to be the right medicine. Invisibly, he consolidated the situation in the Heilongjiang Province very well. Later, the Heilongjiang Province became the most secure rear area of ??the Feng Faction. His contribution cannot be erased.
Zhang Zuolin's group is full of civil and military personnel, and its business is booming, but the center is in trouble.
Originally, after Feng Guozhang became president, he expressed respect for the responsible cabinet system and would not interfere with Duan's administrative and decision-making decisions. Duan's attitude towards Feng was much better than that towards Li Shi. But they are two powerful factions. Feng Guozhang is quite scheming, and unlike Li Yuanhong, he has a status in the Beiyang Military Department, has military power, and has the support of the Third Governor of the Yangtze River, so of course he is not willing to be the same as Li Yuanhong. President; Duan Qirui is headstrong and will never give up any power, so the dispute between the two becomes equally intense.
The first dispute was over military power, which has always been a focus of dispute between presidents and prime ministers. Not long after Feng Guozhang took office, he wanted to restore the "Generalissimo Army and Navy Command Office", but Duan of course refused to agree. Duan established the "Continental Office" in the State Council to replace the "Command Office" of Yuan Shikai's era. Feng wanted to be involved in national affairs and was unwilling to be a president in name only, like a clay statue. Duan finally gave in on this aspect and sent an official to report political affairs to the president every day.
However, the dispute between the president and the prime minister is not superficial, or can be eased by making a small concession on one matter. Therefore, the power struggle has made the rift between these two Beiyang giants wider and wider. The secret fight between Feng and Duan was the beginning of the struggle between the Beiyang clique and the Anhui clique.
Duan Qirui usually calls Feng Guozhang "fourth brother", but when it comes to power, the two brothers fight even more fiercely! Duan and former President Li Yuanhong were at war with each other, but they were fighting with real swords and guns! Duan's tyranny and domineering forced Feng Guozhang to despair, so he took a brigade of elite soldiers and 22 boxes of bullets, and headed south along the Jinpu Line in the name of inspecting the southern battlefield, heading straight for his hometown in Nanjing. Duan Que sent his confidant Duan Zhigui to intercept the President halfway in Anhui. It was impossible for President Feng not to miss the soldiers with guns surrounding the train, so he could only look at Nanjing just around the corner. He was filled with hatred and did not dare to say a word, so he responded obediently. After arriving in Beijing, he completely delegated power to Duan Qirui. But privately, he always remembers to get back a win, and this breakthrough lies in Feng Yuxiang's hands.
The main war faction headed by the Anhui clique waved the banner of the Southern Expedition for the second time. This time it was not just waving the flag and shouting, but just taking real actions. After deciding to march south, the northern warlords withheld taxes, expanded their troops, and seized territory. At this time, newspapers across the country were filled with reports of the main battle, and the sounds of killings were endless. The Beiyang faction is quite vigorous in its renaissance, and some people actually advocate that Duan Qirui be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Campaign.
Just as the sound of killings in the north was shaking the world, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River suddenly erupted with voices for peace: Feng Yuxiang issued a power call at Wuxue to declare independence, denounced the Civil War as the most unconscious and unreasonable war.
Feng Yuxiang was previously ordered to "aid Fujian" and stop advancing until Pukou, in order to promote peace between the north and the south. The basis of the peace talks is that Yuezhou will return to Hunan and Jingxiang will return to Hubei. Each will defend its territory and both will not invade. This is not unattainable. Finally, he said that soldiers should obey the president, and the president has always been a peacemaker, so peace means obeying the president. He concluded in two ways: "either to stop the army, or to kill Yuxiang to thank the world."
It is definitely impossible to kill. The 16th Mixed Brigade in Feng Yuxiang's hands has more than 10,000 people, which is equivalent to the size of an army division. If you want to touch him, you have to see if the guy in his hand will agree.
Feng Yuxiang’s move was of course an arrangement by the peace faction. It is said that this was planned by Lu Jianzhang behind the scenes to disrupt the main battle party’s attack on Hunan. Because Wuxue is located between Hubei and Jiangxi, his actions will have an impact on the first and second route armies of the main combat faction. Moreover, Lu Jianzhang also planned to raid Anhui and drive away the provincial governor Ni Sichong. Ni is not popular in Anhui. If Ni is driven away, Lu can replace him. In this way, Anhui, as a traditional force of the Anhui clique, will join the camp of the three direct governors of the Yangtze River, and the southern section of Jinpu will be under the control of the Zhuhe faction. , the power is great, AnhuiHow else to fight?
The reason why Feng Yuxiang made such a statement at this time was because of what his uncle Lu Jianzhang said. Lu Jianzhang was Feng Guozhang's loyal confidant.
Duan Qirui was extremely shocked by Feng Yuxiang's sudden peace proposal, so he focused all his anger on Feng Guozhang and determined to stage a military coup to drive Feng from power. However, since all the Anhui clique's troops were transferred to the south, they did not have enough troops to support his plan. Therefore, he sent his trusted advisor Xu Shuzheng to the northeast to find Zhang Zuolin under the pretext of "contacting national defense" in an attempt to persuade Zhang Zuolin to dispatch him. His Feng army entered the pass to implement the plan to drive out Feng.
The Anhui clique called for war, while the Zhizhi clique called for peace, so both sides made a fuss about this controversy. The Anhui clique said: "Before you can make war, you can make peace, and you should use war to force peace." Zhiqi said: "Peace is used to show sincerity and peace is a means. If the goal cannot be achieved, fighting can only be motivating." In fact, the peace faction is dealing with Duan, and the war faction is dealing with Feng. It's not really about peace or war, but a new "fight between the government and the court."
The Beiyang faction had already split when Yuan became emperor, but the split at that time was just against Yuan, or it could be said that Yuan's people rebelled against their relatives. It was only after Zhang Xun's restoration that the Beiyang faction's split became apparent. After Zhang Xun's restoration and Duan Qirui's oath to crusade, it was not a real split. When the Zhili clique and the Anhui clique each went to extremes, it was the official split of the Beiyang faction.
For Feng Guozhang, he had been dreaming of the Xinhua Palace since Yuan Shikai's death. However, when he got his wish, he gradually realized that the magnificent palace and the title of president were not the ideal paradise on earth. The pain he suffered was exactly what Li had suffered in the past. Like Li, he is the sealing machine of Duan's cabinet.
When he approved the resignation of Xu Shuzheng, Duan Qirui’s think tank, as deputy minister of the Ministry of War on November 20, Xu stirred up trouble in Tianjin and pulled Cao Kun out of the immediate fourth governorship to deny it. In addition, he also roped in Zhang Zuolin to convene a meeting of the Governor's Army in Tianjin, preparing to form a so-called alliance of Qin, Jin, Anhui, and Feng as a reprint of the Governor's Army.
The Japanese minister came to see Feng Guozhang and also issued a threatening tone. He said: "The situation in China is facing great difficulties. The cabinet cannot be changed. If it is changed, there will be big chaos." When Duan Qirui was in trouble internally and externally, his Japanese supporters couldn't wait to jump to the front desk.
With the "Fuyuan Battle" in full swing, Zhang Zuolin now focused on how to deal with Meng Enyuan, the last stumbling block on the road to dominance in the Northeast.
Gao Jiren's "Fengqi Bureau" under Zhang Hanqing lived up to expectations and collected sufficient evidence to prove that Meng Enyuan also committed the same fatal mistake as Feng Delin. He actually participated in supporting Zhang Xun's restoration activities! Top-secret information flowed like a tide to Zhang Hanqing's Fengjun headquarters. In an instant, Zhang Hanqing grabbed the impeccable Meng Enyuan's pigtails.
Therefore, Zhang Zuolin secretly sent his confidants to Jilin and launched the "Expulsion Movement" on the grounds that Meng Enyuan's "restoration and rebellion" was well-founded, he abused provincial treasury and relied on nepotism. In the name of the people, they called the Beijing government to demand that Meng Enyuan be held accountable and strongly demanded that he be replaced. The power of the people at this time was far from the "monstrous" mentioned in the telegram, but it was true that everyone at home and abroad was shouting about "restoration" actions.
Meng was from Zhili, and his in-laws, Lu Jianzhang, were also from Zhili. Most of Meng's troops were soldiers from Zhili. As a leader of the Anhui clique and Prime Minister Duan Qirui, who is incompatible with the Zhili clique, he has long wanted to eliminate Meng Enyuan. At this time, it is the right time to comply with public opinion and let one of our own replace Meng Enyuan. So he quickly issued an order to dismiss Meng Enyuan, and at the same time appointed his own general Chahar Dutong Tian Zhongyu to take over his post. Tanaka Yu is from Funing, Hebei Province. He was stationed in Changchun before and has excellent relations with the Japanese.
"After driving away Meng Enyuan, Tian Zhongyu came. This result was something Zhang Zuolin did not expect. He saw clearly that if Tanaka Yu, who was backed by Duan Qirui and had close ties with the Japanese, was appointed as the governor of Jilin, it would be equivalent to planting a nail in the Northeast for the Anhui clique, and it would undoubtedly become his key to unifying the three northeastern provinces. The biggest obstacle.
As the saying goes, "Which is the lesser of two evils", Zhang Zuolin decided that instead of welcoming Tian Zhongyu, it would be better to keep Meng Enyuan temporarily.
Meng Enyuan had heard some rumors a long time ago and sent his secretary Dai Yizhen to Feng Guozhang in Beijing to find out the truth. Feng said there was no such thing and advised him not to listen to the rumors. But soon the rumors turned out to be true. After receiving the order, he was very angry and sent a telegram to ask the reasons for the cabinet transfer. He was given a three-day deadline to reply, otherwise Jilin would declare its independence.
They also sent Pei Qixun, commander of the Jilin Huncheng Brigade, as the commander-in-chief of the Independence Army. At the same time, they selected petition representatives to go to Beijing one after another and actively worked to avenge Meng Enyuan. His party members, such as Gao Shijie, also insisted on resisting Tian Zhongyu's appointment, suppressed the anti-Manglin forces in Jilin by force, and called the Beijing government to withdraw Yi Governor's appointment.
The new governor Tian Zhongyu was excited to take office, but when he saw the chaotic political situation in Jilin, he suddenly lost interest. He felt that he was in a good position as the governor of Chahar and there was no need to get involved in the chaotic political whirlpool, so he politely declined the appointment to Duan Qirui.

Chapter 284 The one who owes money is indeed the uncle (Part 1)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The situation in Northeast China is really complicated. Zhang Zuolin initially tried desperately to drive Meng Enyuan away, but when he saw that the fruits of victory were in danger of being harvested by the Anhui clique, he desperately tried to protect him. Meng Enyuan first put all his strength on guard against Zhang Zuolin, and later regarded the Anhui clique as his opponent, and instead eased relations with Fengtian. The reversal between friends and foes is extremely fast, depending on their own needs.
There was actually a local force calling for Ban Zhong|Central, and Duan Qirui was a little confused. The Zhili Clan has been watching eagerly from the side. If this tendency is not suppressed, how will it teach the world? So he prepared to conquer by force.
The war was about to break out. President Feng Guozhang was not convinced. Xu Shichang and Wang Shizhen, the elders of the Beiyang faction, were also willing to mediate. Feng then instructed Wang Zhanyuan to unite with the Beiyang warlords in various provinces to send a joint telegram, requesting that Jilin's status quo be maintained on the pretext of involving national defense and diplomacy. In addition to the three governors of the Yangtze River, the listed governors also included some Anhui governors who were invited by Wang Zhanyuan to sign.
President Feng is so tough this time because Meng Enyuan is the son and daughter of his general Lu Jianzhang. In a sense, touching Meng Enyuan is to give him power. Lao Feng would not do anything to harm his own teeth.
Duan Qirui, because of Feng's face and the oppression of the provincial governors, decided not to settle the issue of Jilin's Yidu. He issued two orders: not to revoke the original order and not to implement it.
Afterwards, Meng Enyuan regained the favor of the Beijing government due to his meritorious service in pacifying the Harbin incident, and stayed in office as he wished and as Zhang Zuolin wished. However, the rift between the two is already there.
After this unsuccessful competition, Zhang Hanqing realized that Duan Qirui was not as strong as he thought. At least, he was still easily defeated under the pressure of his immediate family. Putting all your hopes on him, or trying to make some benefits from him, is not always smooth sailing. It was also from this time on that Zhang Zuolin became less interested in following Duan Qirui, but became more determined to stand on his own.
China’s domestic situation is unstable, and its powerful neighbor to the north is also restless. Since the February Revolution, the political situation in Russia has been very unstable, with the emergence of two regimes, the Provisional Communist Party of the Bourgeoisie and the Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies. The workers and soldiers who controlled the military power did not trust the Provisional Government, but for various reasons, the Soviet leaders used their authority to support it. This phenomenon was what Lenin called "dual power."
According to the proverb "There is no room for two tigers in a mountain, except one male and one female", the Mensheviks, the Bolsheviks and the bourgeoisie had a lot of disputes over who should be the leader of the revolution, and a shadow of unrest was brewing throughout Russia.
Capital is the most sensitive, and bankers have an especially keen sense of smell. In early October, Neshinsky, the president of the Fengtian branch of Daosheng Bank, came to visit the Zhangs and his son, hoping to repay the loan in advance, even partially.
I started borrowing money at the end of October last year, and it has been almost a year now. It stands to reason that it has not expired, so Neshinsky gave very generous conditions: "Commander, Marshal, because our headquarters plans to build a branch in the pass, but capital is tight. So if possible, I hope that You can repay the loan in advance. As compensation, we will give you a discount on interest as appropriate. A 10% discount is not impossible."
By the way, Lao Zhang and Xiao Zhang borrowed a total of 9 million rubles in four installments. The first 2 million was used for the survival and garrison of the original Guards Brigade, allowing Xiao Zhang to survive the most difficult days safely, and Neshinsky played a major role;
The second tranche of 2 million was used to build two artillery shell production lines and three bullet production lines at Fengtian Arsenal, which is now in full swing;
The third tranche of 4 million and the additional fourth tranche of 1 million were actually guarantees provided by Daosheng Bank. The transaction led by the Russian government was used by Lao Zhang to build three 60mm mortar production lines.
After nearly a year of maneuvering, Fengtian Finance has actually turned a loss into a profit, and it is not a big problem to work hard to pay off the loan. For Zhang Zuolin, repaying the loan half a month or one month in advance can save more than 90,000 rubles in principal and interest, which is quite cost-effective. If it weren't for Zhang Hanqing, he might have done this.
Fortunately, there is Zhang Hanqing. As the person directly responsible for the loan, he had no reason not to be present.
"Mr. Neshinsky, what you are doing is against the spirit of the contract. I can completely refuse" Zhang Hanqing responded simply.
"Of course! Mr. Marshal, I'm just here for a discussion. As an old friend of yours, you can completely understand our temporary financial constraints due to changes in business plans, which is common in the banking industry. You see, Chapter 1 A 2 million loan is about to expire, and the other three are only one month away. If you have the ability to pay, I strongly recommend you to repay in advance, so that both parties will be happy - we can calmly plan and treat you It’s also a good deal. Of course, in order to express my apology, I can decide to reduce the interest rate by another five percentage points on top of the 10% interest rate!”Neshinsky came up with an enticing figure.
"No, Mr. Neshinsky, I will fully abide by the spirit of the contract and repay the original principal and interest on time and in full. Please rest assured!" Zhang Hanqing said seriously. At this moment, he vividly expressed the traditional Chinese spirit of "a promise worth a thousand gold".
"No, no, no! Mr. Marshal, early repayment does not constitute a breach of contract, as long as both parties agree. This matter is beneficial to both parties at the moment, are you right?" Neshinski said hurriedly.
"Mr. Neshinsky, you may not know how stubborn we Chinese people are about the spirit of contract! Even for one day, even if there is a huge temptation of benefits, our compliance with the contract is enough to make the world ashamed! We will make all loans on time and in full Please rest assured that we will pay the principal and interest on time. However, we are not prepared for the early repayment you mentioned, so we cannot accept it for the time being." Zhang Hanqing insisted.
Neshinski lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said in a firm tone: "Twenty percent off! It can't be lower. I can transfer some benefits to the young marshal on behalf of the headquarters!"
Zhang Zuolin praised him greatly. He couldn’t see that Xiaoliuzi had a good way of doing business, and he didn’t try to make too many concessions in negotiations. He knew the heat well, and earned more than 180,000 yuan with a 20% discount.
However, he was soon surprised by Zhang Hanqing's big mouth, because the latter completely rejected the benefit: "Mr. Neshinsky, this is not a question of money, but that doing so will affect my view of the sacred." The practice of the Chinese spirit of contract! I stick to my opinion!"
Neshinsky became angry, and even Zhang Zuolin felt that what Xiao Liuzi was doing was unethical and he would just give up on it! Is it necessary to make Neshinsky angry and leave, leading to a breakdown in negotiations and no benefit at all? He secretly winked at Zhang Hanqing.
But Zhang Hanqing did not understand, or in other words, did not agree with his idea. Zhang Zuolin didn't have time to speak, because Neshinsky gave his last roar: "30% off! In order to enter the pass, I risked being punished by the headquarters to agree to this very unreasonable benefit for the first time!" He was angry, with a common smile on the capitalist's face. Gone too.
Zhang Zuolin couldn’t help but applaud. Xiao Liuzi is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and has mastered the essence of negotiation. 30% off, I got another 90,000 rubles!
However, Zhang Hanqing raised his head and wanted to speak: "I"
Neshinski stretched out his hand to stop him: "Mr. Marshal, stop talking. This is already the lowest discount. I will not lower it any more"
Zhang Hanqing nodded: "Mr. Neshinsky, you are wrong, I have no plans to repay the loan in advance!"
Neshinsky: “…”
He was a little angry: "With such favorable conditions, why can't the Marshal just accept it for the sake of our happy cooperation, so that I can report to the headquarters? Expanding the branch is the most important thing for us at this stage!"
Is it? Zhang Hanqing smiled unkindly. We have also expanded our branches, so we can continue to burn high without taking any big steps back. If nothing unexpected happens, Russia will launch the October Revolution early next month (November 7 in the Russian calendar, November 7 in the Gregorian calendar). By then, all the superstructures will be smashed clean, and the same will happen with the ruble.
This is what I am waiting for. How can I lose a lot for a small amount? To use a very fashionable saying: "You care about my interest, but what I want is your principal."
At this time, Zhang Zuolin remembered that Xiao Liuzi had predicted that a revolution would break out in Russia and that the ruble would be reduced to useless paper overnight. Does he really believe this? But it doesn’t look like it from Neshinsky’s expression.
“In fact, Neshinsky is also in pain. According to his own understanding, the real situation in the country is worse than what the outside world sees. As an excellent financier, he has more sense of smell than the average person. He believes that according to the current trend, the country will inevitably be in great turmoil. So, in order to stop the loss, the top priority is to recover the loan as soon as possible, otherwise if the situation changes, the ruble will be worthless.
But he can’t show it too obviously, otherwise it will make the debtor suspicious. The so-called opening of a branch in the customs is this kind of excuse. In this case, it is reasonable for banks to be eager to withdraw funds. If you give me some discounts, I'm sure Zhang Zuolin, the eldest boss, will take the bait.
It’s a pity that he met Zhang Hanqing.
Not to mention that he was deeply aware of the upcoming change, he didn't even believe a word of Neshinsky's plan to enter the pass.
The sphere of influence of the great powers in China has been determined. It is not easy for Russia to insert a force into the country. How can he, a banker, shake the already stable economic layout of various countries in China?
Watching Neshinsky lobbying at leisure, he listened calmly, but became more determined in his ideas. Originally, he was going to rely on this debt.
"Mr. Neshinsky, I value our personal friendship very much, but I am a person who distinguishes between public and private affairs. The early repayment of the loan will have a great impact on Fengtian. I have to take it into consideration! Please rest assured that on the day when the loan is due, I will definitely repay Daosheng Bank in full and on time with interest!”
When Zhang Hanqing said this, Neshinsky's reserved look finally fell and was replaced by anger - at least in Zhang Hanqing's view.
"Mr. Marshal, I don't understand why you did this at all. It's not cost-effective for me or you! And as long as both parties agree, early repayment does not constitute the spirit of the contract!" He also wanted to lobby rationally.
"Okay" Zhang Hanqing said, and Nesinski felt ecstatic in his heart, thinking that he had agreed.
"I disagree" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)What happened has a great impact on Fengtian, and I have to take it into consideration! Please rest assured that when the loan matures, I will repay the principal and interest on time and in full to Daosheng Bank! "
When Zhang Hanqing said this, Neshinsky's reserved look finally fell and was replaced by anger - at least in Zhang Hanqing's view.
"Mr. Marshal, I don't understand why you did this at all. It's not cost-effective for me or you! And as long as both parties agree, early repayment does not constitute the spirit of the contract!" He also wanted to lobby rationally.

Chapter 287 Battle for Seats (Part 1)

Politicians go through the motions, and of course everything is backed by strength. If everyone really ranked the seats based on their age, it would be a laughing stock! In addition, in this meeting, it was rare for Fengtian to send two representatives like this - Yang Yuting was more of a supporting role, but he was still a representative after all, wasn't he? No matter how young Zhang Hanqing is, Fengtian will take advantage of Yang Yuting. Then an old man yelled: "What nonsense are you talking about! This is a national matter, how can you say nonsense!"
The speaker was Jiang Guiti, the veteran of Beiyang, the governor of Rehe, and the commander of Yijun. This central commander has always been a loyal follower. During the Yuan Shikai era, he listened to Lao Yuan's words, and during Duan Qirui's era, he listened to Lao Duan's words. He never discounted and always marched in a hurry. He was a little uncomfortable with Zhang Hanqing's "steady" look as he stood there: a young boy who dared to talk so brazenly wanted to sit in the spotlight and talk! Does he want the person who is his age to be his grandfather to sit under him instead?
Zhang Hanqing was also dissatisfied with this remnant of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. No matter how old he was, I heard that he often regarded the yellow mandarin jacket awarded by the emperor as a rare treasure. Until the major celebrations after the Republic of China, he often wore it to show his honor. He also condoned the evil behavior of Yijun growing opium in Rehe to pay for the army, and he dared to challenge himself! If Zhang Hanqing arranged the seats according to his wishes, he really had to be placed in the front. There was no other way. He was already seventy-four or five years old. As a senior, he had to be placed in the front! But now that he has become the first person, he can't control so much. "The so-called aging means being able to hold back your urine and unable to hold back your words." When you get older, you should retire early and go home to worry about your grandchildren. Why should you shorten your life by making people unhappy here?
" Zhang Hanqing is also disliked by Zhang Jingyao, the warden for several days, but because he has lost power, he has no capital to challenge Zhang Hanqing now. When Jiang Gui came up with something, he was happy to see the joke. Jiang Guiti's temperament grows stronger with age, and even Duan Qirui respects him. If you piss him off, let’s see how you end up calling yourself Young Marshal!
Seeing the malicious smiles of everyone in the audience, Zhang Hanqing also smiled. He smiled at everyone and was not embarrassed by the ridicule at all. But Yang Yuting knew something about the young marshal's temperament and knew it was going to be bad. If he still laughs at this time, it is a sign of counterattack.
Sure enough, Zhang Hanqing clasped his hands behind his back and said without even looking at Jiang Guiti: "I will not take advantage of my opponent's old age and ignorance for the purpose of debate." He asked quietly to other people in the field: "Seniors, If you think Xueliang’s proposal is not feasible, please come up with a satisfactory solution for discussion!”
The situation suddenly turned into a deadlock. Everyone knew that there was great dissatisfaction hidden in Zhang Hanqing's seemingly joking words. It doesn't matter who Zhang Hanqing is. What he did in Fengtian was just a show to these old people who control the power of one or several provinces and stay far away from the customs. But at the age of sixteen, the character he represents is very important!
???????????????? It’s okay not to accept it, this boy has a good life, and so does his father. Zhang Zuolin jumped from a division commander to the commander of the army, and then actually controlled the strength of five divisions. At this time, he was already a powerful presence, which made them very unhappy but helpless. Now Zhang Zuolin is sitting in Fengtian, connected to the Central Government at the top, and Feng and Heizhou at the bottom. When he stamps his foot, the whole north trembles. Fengtian has become the focus of attention from all parties as to whether the military governors can reach an agreement that is not conducive to Duan Qirui.
“If Zhang Hanqing is still unhappy and spoils a good political alliance out of anger, none of you here will be able to explain it to Duan Qirui. He is young, but everyone else is mature!
Yang Yuting was very anxious. He had very utilitarian ideas regarding the parties' agreement to fully support the Anhui clique. No matter whether Jiang Gui is getting older and stronger, or whether Zhang Hanqing is a newborn calf, it is okay for everyone to make a fuss, but not to break up.
After the war between the government and the government became fierce, Feng Guozhang, the leader of the Zhili clique and acting president, relied on the strong military support of the Zhili clique around Beijing to not only remove Duan Qirui from his duties as prime minister and minister of army, but also removed Duan Qirui from his position as number one. Think tank Xu Shuzheng's position as deputy army secretary. In order to retaliate, Xu actively contacted Yang Yuting, a classmate of the Japanese Military Academy and the General Counselor of the Fengtian Military Governor's Office and the Governor-General of the Arsenal, hoping to join forces with Feng to fight against Zheng Zhi and regain control of the Beijing government.
Yang Yuting hit it off with him.
Because of Zhang Hanqing’s sudden rise, Yang Yuting’s current political weight in the Feng faction has declined. Militaryly, the two pillars of Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang were already comparable to him, but the emergence of Zhang Hanqing made it possible for the young commanders to catch up; politically, Zhang Hanqing recommended talents, implemented reforms, and vigorously promoted industry and economy. Construction, the limelight has overshadowed itself. Originally, he was also the chief think tank in Zhang Zuolin's heart. He once compared Xu Shuzheng to Duan Qirui's story. His words have always had the same impact on Zhang Zuolin as Zhuge Liang had on Liu Bei, otherwise there would be no"Little Zhuge" reputation.
However, the emergence of Zhang Hanqing has greatly affected the course of history, so that now in Fengtian and even the entire Northeast, military and political officials must refer to themselves as young marshals. Han Linchun, a young marshal, has become equal to him in terms of position and still holds real power; Fengtian Arsenal also has Being mixed with sand by Zhang Hanqing, it was no longer time for him to hold up the sky with one hand; politically, the figures supported by the young commander began to gain a certain status. All these things made Yang Yuting feel tremendous pressure.
Xu Shuzheng’s suggestion was exactly what he wanted: if he acted as the intermediary between the commander-in-chief and Duan Qirui, his influence would definitely increase. After all, joining Anhui and rejecting Zhizhi at this stage was the basic decision of Fengxian. Therefore, he was very urgent about the formation of a decision in favor of Duan Qirui by the military governor, and he was very worried about the verbal dispute between Zhang Hanqing and the famous Anhui general Jiang Guiti. In his opinion, the seat was just a name, and because Zhang Zuolin was not there, no one would say anything if Jiang Guiti was allowed to take the seat. After all, Zhang Hanqing was a rising star.
When Zhang Hanqing raised such a ridiculous and helpless dilemma, he felt it was necessary to say something: "Hanqing, those here are all Beiyang seniors, and they all deserve our respect in terms of seniority and age. The situation in Beijing is like this now , What we are talking about this time is a national matter, how can it be a joke? Everyone should work together, and there will be no need to argue over some frivolous etiquette!"
Zhang Hanqing suddenly felt tens of millions of grass and mud horses galloping past. What is the biggest bad trait of Chinese people? Fighting in the nest! On the surface, the Governor's Army is one family, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that the competition for the interests of all parties has never stopped, even in the open! As a member of the Fengtian representative, no matter what, he cannot undermine himself like this - what is "child's play"? It is a matter of position that I express my position on behalf of my father. Even if it is really "child's play", it must be played to the end on stage. There is no reason for internal strife among my own people! Is this dissatisfaction with the honor and status he has gained for the Feng clan?
Reminiscent of the past stories in history about Yang Yuting's "high achievements and overwhelming power" and "domineering", should Yang Yuting's words be an outburst of his long-term dissatisfaction with the "preferential treatment" he received? This is not a good sign!
In the official history, Yang Yuting had various ways of not cooperating with the "ignorant and unskilled" Zhang Xueliang when he took over the power of the Fengcian faction. There are many things that people can say. Later people have also done a lot of research on his psychological activities, but one indisputable fact is that, Zhang Xueliang's influence was indeed worrying after he lost his main trusted generals due to Guo Songling's rebellion. If Zhang Zuoxiang had not supported Zhang Zuoxiang later, he would not have been the leader of the Fengcian faction. But now, he was born and took advantage of being a time traveler. He did a lot of things and was praised by others. He has formed his own power. At this time, Yang Yuting still disrespects him. This is not because of jealousy or envy, but because of arrogance from the bottom of his heart. Sweet!
Zhang Hanqing is no longer the stupid Zhang Xueliang, who would kill at the slightest disagreement. It is easy to eradicate dissidents physically, but it is not easy to eliminate such a huge influence. Besides, it is far from being a "running dog cook" now. timing. However, if this trend is allowed to continue for a long time, it will be a serious problem for the Fengcheng faction to unite and reduce internal factional disputes. By extension, isn't this a reflection of the thoughts of some senior members of the Feng clan?
We must suppress this arrogance! The Fengxian system in the future cannot have this kind of phenomenon, and everyone must face up to their own existence! Zhang Hanqing tried his best to suppress his anger, and without looking at Yang Yuting, he said calmly: "Respect is mutual! Seniors are here, if in normal times, Xueliang, I, accompany the last one, or even stand. But now I am Fengtian Every word and deed of the representatives sent by the governor represents Fengtian, so we have to pay attention! General Counselor Yang, although I have read few books, I know that since I am sent to attend the meeting, I should live up to my mission! Now I just I want to know where should I sit as the representative of Fengtian? In fact, it doesn’t matter where I sit. The key is that if the governor asks me about it after I go back, I have to understand why I sit there!"
Usually, he and Yang Yuting are uncles and nephews, but now, he calls him "General Counselor Yang" in a business-like manner. Although there was the element of outsiders being present, his dissatisfaction was already very clear.
This sentence made Yang Yuting take a breath, and then he really looked at the young marshal. He is not a fool. Zhang Hanqing has elevated the seat dispute to the level of political dignity, and he can no longer comment on it. Otherwise, wearing an ignorant hat on one's head, let alone increasing political influence in Fengtian, would not be tolerated by Marshal Zhang's temper, especially after Tang Yulin almost cheated on him and caused a big change. Because since then, Zhang Zuolin has made great efforts to clean up internal divisions.
Seeing that Xiao Zhuge, who was well-known in the Northeast, suffered under the hands of the young marshal, Heilongjiang representative Ding Chao turned around. He is the general counselor of the Warlord's Office sent by Bao Guiqing, and he is also a person Zhang Zuolin places great importance on in Heilongjiang Province. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 288 Battle for Seats (Part 2)

The young marshal’s intention must be implemented. After all, he represents the Fengtian Governor and is also trying to save face for the Northeastern people. Otherwise, he will not be able to return to Fengtian to see Lao Zhang. He laughed and said: "Xue Liang's suggestion is also a good idea. Age is God's will. You don't have to worry about not being able to pay the job when you go back. The combined ages of Xiao Zhang and Lin Ge are older than me, so I will be ranked second." He always followed Zhang Zuolin's lead, so he didn't feel it was a shame to be ranked behind the young marshal.
Ding Chao’s statement turned a joke into a decision to test the waters. Representatives of Lu Yongxiang and Li Houji were unwilling to fall out with Lao Zhang and decided to watch on the sidelines. However, Jiang Guiti felt that he had lost face: When did these younger generations stop taking him seriously? ! He said angrily: "Nonsense! This is a matter of state affairs that you are here to discuss. How can I tolerate your childishness?"
Indeed, it is childish for Zhang Hanqing to say such things on such occasions. However, when they don’t treat themselves as onions, aren’t they allowed to have some opinions?
"Senior Jiang said this, does he think Xueliang is not qualified? Or does he think that the Fengtian Governor who Xueliang represents is not qualified? Xueliang was ordered to represent Fengtian and was not allowed to speak or accompany the last person, so Xueliang does not need to participate in this meeting Well, senior Jiang can just convey the results to Fengtian Province after the meeting!" Zhang Hanqing has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and of course he will not embarrass the people of Fengtian. He didn't just talk, but when he spoke, he made a gesture to leave.
He is the representative of Fengtian, and Yang Yuting is still a follower. If Zhang Hanqing wants to leave, a group of people from Fengtian will also leave. The Heilongjiang province represented by Ding Chao is definitely based on the principle of being a province, and of course there is no ambiguity in the steps.
Duan Qirui deliberately planned to hold this military governor meeting because he wanted to challenge the president. Among the governors of the seven provinces and the governors of the three provinces, apart from the dominant Anhui clan, Zhang Jingyao has the most famous reputation and Zhang Zuolin has the strongest strength. If Xiao Zhang ran away, the crusade against the Zhili clique would basically become the Anhui clique's own, which would weaken the momentum by several points.
As a Zhili person but currently leaning towards the Anhui clique, Cao Kun is very embarrassed, because if the Feng clique (let’s count Fenghei as Lao Zhang’s faction) does not participate, if Zhili and Anhui fight, he, a Zhili person, will lose Without a moral foothold, how could he, the governor of Zhili, take advantage of this dispute?
So Zhang Jingyao and Cao Kun all came together to smooth things over. Lu Yongxiang also grabbed Zhang Hanqing and asked him to calm down, because the person presiding over the meeting was not Jiang Guiti.
Seeing that everyone was facing Zhang Hanqing, Jiang Guiti became even more unhappy. He shouted directly at Zhang Hanqing: "Even if your father Zhang Zuolin comes in person, you still have to give me some face! When I became the governor of Rehe, your father didn't know Where is it!"
Zhang Hanqing saw that he was very angry and was not moved: "Senior Jiang, there is a saying that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach. You always seem to have a strong body, but why is your mind not flexible at all? We are now discussing unification. In the south, if we can win based on seniority and age alone, we don’t have to waste so much time fighting for seats here. We just need to send you to Guangdong. With your age, Sun Dapao can’t even surrender, so why bother? How many chapters?"
This statement sounds funny, but anyone with a discerning eye can hear the ridicule in it. But when Zhang Hanqing, a young man, said it slowly, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Jiang Guiti has always relied on his elders. All the factions in Beiyang thought that he was old, and Yijun was neutral. They all had a mentality of neither cooperation nor hostility towards him. How could they hear Zhang Hanqing singing in such a low voice? When he slapped the table, his beard and hair stood on end. Matching his burly figure, he had an astonishing aura: "Shu Zi! I'm really old. I want to take a photo of me. I want to ask my Hundred Thousand Yijun if I agree!"
"If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be frightened by him. However, Zhang Hanqing is a man who has led soldiers and is courageous and knowledgeable. Now that I have decided to overpower him, I will not give up halfway. He replied with a smile: "Senior Jiang's Yijun, Xueliang has seen it before! When Xueliang suppressed the bandits, the seniors of Meng Yijun gave in and let the boy get the military merit. Speaking of which, he was also the subordinate of Senior Jiang. Meritorious."
What he was talking about was that when Babu Zabu rebelled, Yijun was unable to suppress it and instead promoted Zhang Hanqing's famous campaign to suppress the bandits. This incident made the Guard Brigade and Zhang Hanqing famous, but it once again exposed Yijun's shortcomings of being old and useless to the world. As the third commander-in-chief of Yijun, Jiang Guiti was frustrated because of this, which was also the reason why he wanted to show Zhang Hanqing no shame this time.
Zhang Hanqing did not allow him to refute any more, raised his head, and said, "The Yi army is stationed in Chengde with three infantry regiments and one battalion, one cavalry battalion, and one artillery battalion; the infantry station in Chifeng is with two regiments and two battalions, one cavalry battalion, and one artillery battalion; There are two infantry regiments and one cavalry battalion in Duolun; there are a total of two infantry battalions stationed in Qinhuangdao. All infantry battalions are divided into eight regiments and two battalions, with a total of twenty-six battalions. There is one cavalry regiment and two artillery battalions.When Zhang Zuolin made a report asking the government to approve the transfer of Chaoyang area to Fengtian, Feng Guozhang was inclined to Zhang Zuolin, although he did not like Lao Zhang either. However, he was able to attack Duan Qirui's "lackey", and he still actively pushed the interim cabinet to complete the procedures with an attitude of being happy to see the results - the ball has been thrown to you, what will you do, Duan Qirui?
The situation in the field changed significantly. Others who were watching the joke smiled at Zhang Hanqing. After some humility, Zhang Hanqing's seat was rearranged. He actually sat below Cao and Zhang, with a higher ranking. Everyone else is much closer!
When it’s time to fight, people really have to fight! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 289 Fate
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing expressed high-profile support for Duan Qirui on behalf of Zhang Zuolin. The reason for this is that although Duan Qirui announced his resignation three days ago, Zhang Hanqing clearly knew that Duan would come back soon. Without him, history has proven it. In order to make Duan Qirui feel the "loyal" support of Fengtian Province for him, Zhang Hanqing, after obtaining Zhang Zuolin's consent, stated clearly that "if the president does not accept this peace negotiation condition from Governor Cao, the country will have no peace." The province will still support Premier Duan’s southbound policy.”
This is actually a disguised statement of support for Duan Qirui. I don’t know what Lao Duan thinks in his heart. At least his favor towards Zhang Zuolin and his son has increased, which was shown one by one in subsequent incidents.
After reading the formulaic speech, Zhang Hanqing had nothing to do. Accompanying this group of old people from the Republic of China, I watched them smoke, drink tea, and play wildly in all directions. Some of them had a strong hometown accent and had no idea what to say. It was very boring. On the other hand, Lu Xiaojia, who is as handsome as himself, is the only young man in the room, so they seem to have something in common.
He went over and chatted for a while, and felt that they were really very interested, so he asked Yang Yuting to sit in his seat, and he directly took Lu Xiaojia to sit in the corner. The two chatted about romance and exchanged experiences, and they were extremely harmonious.
Lu Xiaojia also had a short-lived success in official history. Once, or it should be said later, he sent people to shoot Xu Guoliang, the director of the Shanghai Bund Police Department, who disobeyed the management of Zhejiang Governor Lu Yongxiang, and assisted Nai's father to control Shanghai. However, what made him as famous as Zhang Xueliang was the Lu Chun Tower incident where he and the gang leader Huang Jin Rong fought for the actress Lu Lan Chun. He was a very popular figure in old Shanghai and well-known to women and children.
“Perhaps seeing Lu Xiaojia made Zhang Hanqing think of a public case. There are different opinions on the "Four Young Masters of the Republic of China" in history. There are versions of Zhang Xueliang, Yuan Kewen, Pu Dong, and Lu Xiaojia. There are also versions that lack Lu Xiaojia and add Zhang Boju, another son of Zhang who is only two years older than him. There are also versions of Sun Ke and Zhang Xueliang. , Duan Hongye, Lu Xiaojia's version But several versions left his own name, and he wanted to check it out.
Yuan Kewen and Duan Hongye have both met before, and they are undoubtedly standard dandies;
Sun Ke is the son of Sun Yixian, and Pu Dong is Pu Yi’s brother and a member of the royal family. Based on their family background, they have the capital to be a playboy;
Lu Xiaojia should be pretty good too, he is bold and bold, but he also has the talent to hang out among flowers. This can be seen from the fact that he later fled to Beijing after his father died, seduced Puyi's sister-in-law Tang Yiying, and allowed her to steal antiques from Prince Chun's palace and sell them to make money for them. .
Another Zhang Boju, whom he had never met before, was once ranked among the four great princes, and was highly praised by future generations. Liu Haili praised him as "a high peak on the contemporary cultural plateau" and said that his value lies in the fact that "he has many predecessors who are still old, but he has no sourness; he has many friends who are rich and young, but he is not contaminated by the dandy air; There are many famous actors and actresses, but there is no frivolous orchardish habit. There are many ancient books and paintings around him. He is still a modern man." As he said in his own words: "I am originally a casual person from Wollongong."
Zhang Hanqing’s understanding of him lies in his “prodigal” behavior of collecting cultural relics as much as money. Perhaps this is the main reason why he can be ranked as one of the four great princes? He was fond of collecting, but he knew that "enjoyment alone is not as good as enjoyment by all". He donated "Spring Outing" and Tang Yin's paintings, which he had obtained from selling Li Lianying's old house in Gongxian Hutong, to the Forbidden City in Beijing. Later, he donated all his belongings and even his life to the Forbidden City in Beijing. In exchange, eight treasures that had been collected for many years were donated: "Pingfu Post", "Zhang Haohao's Poems", "Taoist Praise" and other eight pieces. To this day, they are still the treasures of the Forbidden City
Since I have come to Tianjin, of course it would be good to have the opportunity to meet real people. Who would have known that upon inquiry, this Qianliju of the Zhang family is living in a very bad life now, and the reason lies with his father.
Zhang Boju’s father, Zhang Zhenfang, is also well-known in the industrial circles of Beijing and Tianjin. He was once a director of the Salt Bank and a powerful influencer in the financial world. It's just that these days those who engage in economics are not as good as those who play politics. I don't see the ups and downs of the government. Which official is not worth millions? It's just that Zhang Zhenfang was a businessman after all, and his political acumen was far behind. During the "Zhang Xun Restoration", he couldn't see the situation clearly, and he happily served as cabinet minister and branch secretary, which led to his arrest after the restoration failed. It's still closed now.
Zhang Hanqing then asked for his release. This is a trivial matter. Not to mention the strength of Fengjun behind him, but for his current influence in Beijing and Tianjin, all parties have to give him face. Not to mention that the twelve "culprits" arrested after the restoration were not brought to justice, let alone these shrimp soldiers and crab generals? Whether he is the president or the prime minister, he must give him this face.
After being released, Zhang Zhenfang returned to serve as director and chairman of the Salt Bank. Naturally, he would not forget his kindness to Zhang Hanqing. Also, how could he be willing to give up when a young marshal who was famous in Beijing and Tianjin extended an olive branch? Although the previousThere are lessons to be learned, but it is not the true nature of a Chinese businessman to know a favor but not repay it. Zhang Zhenfang acted in his true nature in this regard.
He promptly sent Zhang Boju to pay homage to Zhang Hanqing, and successfully became a familiar face in the "Zhang Mansion" in Tianjin. Later, Zhang Boju also became a frequent visitor to Zhang Hanqing's home in Tianjin. Whenever Zhang Hanqing came to Tianjin, Zhang Boju, Yuan Keding, Pu Dong, and Mei Lanfang would definitely come to get together. As time went by, a small circle really formed, and over time, the term "Four Young Masters of the Republic of China" came into being. But at this time, the Fourth Young Master had nothing to do with Lu Xiaojia and Duan Hongye.
No one understands why the young marshal shows such great love to Mr. Zhang, who is two years older than him. Many people understand it as the love of the same clan, and some think it is the sympathy of being the "Fourth Young Master of the Republic of China". Only Zhang Hanqing understood that he respected this patriotic dude: In order to keep more ancient calligraphy and paintings in the country, Zhang Boju devoted all his energy, intelligence, and financial resources, even if he did not hesitate to sell his family property, borrow money, and be denounced as "spendthrift". In the eyes of many people, he became "Zhang Dawei".
Zhang Hanqing will definitely not be proud of being on the "Standing Committee" of the four great princes of the Republic of China in various versions in this life, but he still has considerable admiration for such a dandy to the level of "greatness". If he really wanted to be listed among the "Big Four", he would rather be with Zhang Boju. One is the feelings, and the other is the calm state of mind. Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, play with tickets and show your true self. This is the great state.
The Tianjin Conference unified the conclusion and recommended Duan Zhigui to go to Beijing to show off his cards to Feng Guozhang. They expressed a tactful opinion: if the South Army withdraws from Hunan and dissolves the Extraordinary Congress, peace can be negotiated. This is the minimum condition for peace talks. If the president does not adopt it, the governor will The Legion will deal with the current president in the same way it dealt with the former President of Lebanon - the provinces have declared independence from the central government.
As various factions in Beiyang responded to Duan Qirui's call and advocated continuing the war against the south, the main militant faction gained momentum. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Zhang Zuolin was very happy that Xu Shuzheng came to serve. At least, in this troubled world, he could finally be considered a figure and truly relied on by those in power.
Although Zhang Zuolin was born in the green forest, he had long had great ambitions. He supported his troops outside the pass and was waiting for the opportunity to conquer the Central Plains. However, no matter whether Zhili, Anhui or Yuan Shikai were alive, they were on guard against Fengtian's army. Fengtian's army has always been unable to take a step outside the pass. Now that the situation is stronger than others, Duan Qirui is sick and hastily sought medical treatment. Of course he is happy to "invite" him out of isolation. After hearing the news, I was already eager to give it a try.
On the contrary, Zhang Hanqing was surprisingly calm. In private, he directly asked Zhang Zuolin: "Father, do you think that with the current strength of our two provinces, Feng and Hei, how much trouble can we stir up in the internal political situation of Guan?"
Zhang Zuolin was silent.
Zhang Hanqing smiled slightly and said: "Although the strength of the Zhijiang and Anhui factions are about the same, they far surpass us. Although we have the strength of five divisions on the surface, the 27th Division and the First Division have to take care of two provinces. The situation, and the 28th Division has just surrendered, and the people's hearts are unstable; although the 29th Division of the second uncle has been assigned to our camp, it is in the black province and is on its own. To be honest, such a small amount of troops has no decisive impact on the overall situation. At present, The situation in Anhui and Anhui, no matter who is better or worse in the end, is wary of us. If we rashly join any of them, we will become a vassal and lose our independent status. Although the current situation in Northeast China is unpredictable, it is generally beneficial to us. . What I mean is that you don’t have to be conceited. If it’s profitable, you can gain, and if it’s unprofitable, there’s no harm. In short, the first priority is to strengthen yourself.”
The Guard Division has become Zhang Zuolin's general reserve team, and they are not usually used to settle accounts.
Zhang Zuolin is also the best among people. These things were originally in his mind and they naturally hit it off. So the father and son discussed it and decided that Zhang Hanqing would be the one to blame. Anyway, the general principle is "don't let the hawk out when you don't see the rabbit."
When meeting Xu Shuzheng, Zhang Hanqing was naturally present. As soon as the two sides turned to the topic, Zhang Hanqing deliberately said to Zhang Zuolin: "Father, you have a destiny to govern, so you should send troops outside the customs. However, there are currently insufficient armaments. If we act in a hurry, if something goes wrong, it will be a disaster." It becomes an excuse for others to interfere in the political situation and leads to chaos." Zhang Zuolin also reacted very quickly, deliberately making things difficult and said: "I also know this, but the current situation in the capital is extremely critical. If we wait for supplies, I am afraid that the opportunity will be missed and the governance plan will be undermined. "
Xu Shuzheng was already prepared for the double act between Zhang and his son. If you want to impress the cunning Zhang Zuolin, how can you do it without some homework? He was ordered to go outside the customs to summon troops to Beijing. He was well aware of Lao Zhang's character of "not getting up early without profit", and knew that Zhang Zuolin would never accept the call if heavy profits were not allowed. In fact, if Fengjun does not enter the customs, the situation in Beijing will not be overwhelmingly in favor of the Anhui clique.
??For Zhang Zuolin, the earthly emperor of Fengtian, the best gift is none other than weapons. Xu Shuzheng had served as deputy minister of the Ministry of War and knew the details of Duan Qirui's purchase of Japanese arms. At the same time, before he handed over his post as deputy minister, he had left several blank official documents of the Ministry of War stamped with customs seals, so he decided to rob A batch of arms was exchanged for Zhang Zuolin sending troops into the customs. However, Duan Qirui is a headstrong person. If you ask him for instructions in advance, he will definitely not allow it. You can only take action first and then talk about it.
Xu Shuzheng negotiated with Zhang Zuolin on the condition of supporting He Zuolin as vice president and dividing the arms. He said: "This time, three-quarters of the arms acquisition will go to Yushuai and one-quarter to Xu. As long as Yushuai's army uses the main force Just move into Tianjin and Langfang and force Feng Guozhang to resume all his duties as Prime Minister Duan."
Since there is a rabbit, of course it will fly. After receiving Xu Shuzheng's promise, Zhang Zuolin readily agreed and immediately sent troops into the pass. Entering the Pass this time, Fengjun took Zhang Zuoxiang as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. Although Zhang Hanqing was nominally an assistant, he was actually responsible for all internal policies. This was just because of his limited qualifications and he needed a veteran like Zhang Zuoxiang to calm the situation.
After the news of Fengjun’s entry into the customs came out, Feng Guozhang was of course the most uneasy. Fengtian is located behind Beijing. It can arrive at any time in the morning or evening. As early as Yuan Shikai's time, he had looked at the forces outside the Guan Dynasty with admiration and tried his best to be gentle. Feng Guozhang couldn't help but think that Li Yuanhong was ousted from power after Zhang Xun led the braided army to Beijing a year ago. Now that Fengjun has entered the customs, the old drama may happen again. He was a president with no troops and no power. He had no control over Beijing. He had a premonition that he might be expelled or put under house arrest at any time. Therefore, he calculated thirty-six strategies and still used walking as the best strategy. He secretly arranged a second "Southern Tour" , planning to go south from Jinghan Road to Hubei, but how could the Duan people let the tiger go back to the mountain? Of course he is not allowed to leave Beijing.
In order to ensure that "soldiers are valuable and speedy", the Beijing-Fengtian Road train was detained by Fengjun to transport troops on February 24, 1918; on the 25th, Yang Yuting, the general counselor of the Fengtian Military Governor's Office, led troops to Luanzhou. After the main forces of the five brigades were forcibly stationed in the Pingjin area, a headquarters was set up in Tianjin Junliang City, with Zhang Zuolin as commander and Xu Shuzheng as deputy commander and acting commander.?.
On the same day, Zhang Jinghui's troops from the 53rd Brigade of the 27th Division of the Fengjun Army arrived in Qinhuangdao, where there were more than 30,000 rifles and ammunition shipped by the Japanese government in the first batch according to the Sino-Japanese Ordnance Loan Agreement, which had also been transferred to Zhang's family for a long time. A piece of fat from the father and son's "fayan"!
This arms was originally a new Japanese-made firearm that Duan Qirui painstakingly acquired after some hard work (at this time, China was unable to manufacture suitable weapons on its own. Usually, the firearms were purchased from Japan and the artillery was from Krupp, Germany) , originally borrowed 20 million in the name of participating in the war against Germany in the late World War I, and used it to train three divisions and four mixed brigades of the participating armies. This is the first batch.
The person responsible for guarding this batch of firearms is the Changdesheng Department of Jiang Guiti, a peripheral force of the Anhui clique, Yijun. The Yi Army was a branch of the Huai Army and relied on the Anhui Clan during the feud over the government. As the "General Zhaowu" with an army of 100,000, Jiang Gui supervises the military affairs of Rehe and is also the governor of Rehe. Jiang Gui's title is old and spicy. Duan Qirui originally thought it would be a safe thing to transfer this batch of arms to Beijing through his territory, but who knew that Feng Jun, who had always supported Prime Minister Duan, would want to take advantage of this batch of arms as soon as he came out of the border! What about the promised alliance?
Who is to blame? At the Tianjin Governor's Army meeting, Jiang Guiti had already fallen out with Zhang Hanqing. There is no possibility of reconciliation after the Guards Division incorporated Yijun Song Jiuling's troops. Besides, compared with 30,000 firearms, the boat of friendship can easily overturn, not to mention that the two sides have no friendship at all!
Chang Desheng, the commander of Yijun stationed in Qinhuangdao, could not have imagined that Fengjun would dare to risk the disapproval of the world and target Duan "Zhongxin". Moreover, strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes. Qinhuangdao is also a territory under Rehe’s control after all! It was originally thought that when Fengjun sent troops to Tianjin, Qinhuangdao was just a borrowed one. However, Fengjun seemed to have been prepared for it. As soon as the vanguard troops entered the city, the vanguard rushed to surround the "munitions warehouse in the south of the city", where the 30,000 rifles were stored.
Although Yijun had glory in history, it was now a corrupt and decrepit army. Faced with Feng Jun's menacing attitude, only one recruit mustered up the courage to question Feng Jun's "bad behavior." However, Feng Jun's leading platoon leader, who had already accepted the order, raised his gun and beat him to the ground. However, he was always arrogant. The Yijun garrison suddenly lost their voices. You must know that they have the strength of a reinforced company!
There was no way, whether intentional or not, the heroic deeds of the Guard Brigade in suppressing bandits had been widely spread in the Northeast, and Song Jiuling was deeply shocked. With more people and greater power, it is possible to be tough. Anyway, it is normal for Yijun, who has no preparations for war, no determination to fight, and three already decayed, to collectively become cowardly.
Fengjun quickly took over the warehouse and treated it as if no one was there. This made Yi Jun seem to feel humiliated, and they all picked up their weapons to save some face. However, Fengjun's successors swarmed in, and it quickly became a situation where Fengjun had a numerical advantage. As a result, the courage I had finally built up was lost again. This time, I couldn't get up again.
Faced with such a major drastic change, Chang Desheng had no reason not to express indignation and protest. While he ordered his garrison to enter a state of combat readiness, he went to the south of the city in person, intending to negotiate with force. If Fengjun was allowed to snatch this batch of arms, not only would it be difficult for Duan Qirui to deal with him, but Yijun's reputation would be completely ruined from now on.
But what made him dumbfounded was that Fengjun had already been prepared. Not only did soldiers with guns and live ammunition blockade the entire warehouse, but they also set up several cannons and put up a posture of "resistance" with force. According to the strength of an integrated brigade in Fengjun, it is said that it was still under the 27th Division founded by Zhang Zuolin. It was definitely impossible for Desheng's two battalions of less than 2,000 "double spearmen" to win with force.
Jiang Guiti allowed the people of Rehe to grow opium, making Rehe a nationally famous tobacco growing area. Because he was born in poverty and grew up in the military, he still retained his vigorous style and simple life to some extent. At the same time, he also attached great importance to the combat effectiveness and military appearance and discipline of the army. Therefore, Yijun's combat effectiveness was still considered a force in the early Republic of China and should not be underestimated. However, as he entered his twilight years, Yijun also seemed to have entered his twilight years. Due to insufficient military pay and the influence of many years of comfortable life, Yijun has gradually deteriorated. Opium smoking has become a sight in the military. It is also the earliest Chinese title "Double" "Lancers" local troops (the more famous one is the Guizhou Army). Today's Yi Jun's mental outlook is no longer what it was yesterday, and is far from the same level as the well-trained Feng Jun.
Chang Desheng is not afraid of a surprise attack by the Fengjun. At least for now, everyone is still following the banner of the Central Committee - Duan Qirui, although Duan has nominally deprived him of the title of Prime Minister and Chief of the Army. position. It would be too unethical to kill someone after obtaining a gun from Feng Xi. This will shock Beiyang! He was prepared to use the method of civil dispute rather than physical combat to resolve the matter.
But what he met was the young marshal.
A young marshal dressed in a yellow woolen coat and uniform accompanied by Major General Zhang Jinghui, the brigade commander, greeted Chang Desheng. Zhang Hanqing, who was in charge of foreign affairs for the first time, tried his best to maintain his elegant image, but the heroic spirit he expected was overshadowed by his age, which was helpless. Who told him to be so handsome naturally? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?No way. Who told him to be so handsome naturally? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 291 Robbery (Part 2)

Chang Desheng looked at the childish Zhang Hanqing and said angrily: "Young Marshal, Feng Jun and Yijun are all Prime Minister Duan's allies. Feng Jun openly robbed the firearms that the Central Committee prepared to prepare for training the "battle force". Is this a betrayal?" Prime Minister?"
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "Where do we start with this? Hanqing was ordered by Prime Minister Jun to escort this batch of arms to Beijing to prepare for the war. With the Central | Central Committee's orders in hand, the weapons were arranged by Deputy Minister Xu of the Ministry of War. , Han Qing was just following orders. For specific matters, General Chang might as well ask Deputy Chief Xu? Or go directly to Datian and call the Prime Minister? This matter will be clear once asked, and there is no more falsehood. "
Chang Desheng spent his whole life fighting in the officialdom, how could Zhang Hanqing be able to get rid of him with just a few words? He said with a smile: "Since the young marshal has the transfer order, you might as well let Chang have a look. If this is indeed the case, of course I will do whatever you want."
Of course, there was no transfer order. What Xu Shuzheng gave him was a forged bill of lading from the Ministry of War, which only had the seal of the Ministry of War. This was the advantage of Xu Shuzheng, the former deputy secretary of the Army, who was close to the water. Of course, Zhang Hanqing was the personal planner. Know.
Fengjun was openly robbing him, but it was not Fengxi’s original intention to turn against him in the first place. Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "The instructions of the head of state are the deployment orders. Only my father, General Xu and the head of state knew about this matter. Xueliang was just following the orders. Of course, it stands to reason that the prime minister has given the order to send troops to attack the Southern Army. How can he not support arms? No. When it comes to guns, even the military pay is paid in advance. If General Chang doesn’t believe it, he can call the Central Committee to ask about the matter, or communicate with my father.”
Chang Desheng listened for a long time, so that’s it! He also made his position clear: "Firearms are stored here by the Central Committee, and Yijun is responsible for their preservation. We dare not be selfish without orders from Jun. If Fengjun needs it, he will wait until I ask the Central Committee for instructions. How about making a decision?"
Zhang Hanqing also had a way to deal with it. He put on a posture that he was bound to win and said: "Soldiers are valuable and quick. After receiving the order, Xueliang will send troops immediately and rush to the front line immediately. There are many procedures for the exchange of messages. If there are any military delays, , I’m afraid it’s not something Xueliang can bear. General Chang might as well call him on his own. If Xueliang violates the Central Committee’s instructions, he can make it clear both internally and externally, so as to avoid serving the military’s selfish interests.”
He made it clear that I was the one to take away these firearms first, and then you can slowly pour out the messages after the rice is cooked. If Duan Qirui, the head of state, does not agree, now is the time to ask for support. How dare he tell the country and abroad that my support is untrue?
Zhang Hanqing motioned to Zhang Jinghui. Zhang Jinghui was also the general whom Zhang Zuolin made old. How could he not understand? He asked loudly: "The soldiers at the front have no weapons and ammunition. Do we need to fight with our bare hands?"
Changde is full of arrogance: In these days of war and chaos, if you have a gun, you are the king! As long as the Feng faction swallows the general's fire, it will definitely be like a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return. But now is the time when the Central Committee needs the Fengxian, and it will not fall out over this batch of arms. As a branch of the Anhui Clique, he, the backbone of the Yi Army, understands Duan Qirui's thoughts very well: the Feng Clan and other local warlords want to use it, but their development must be controlled to prevent the tail from being lost. A powerful faction, coupled with a batch of arms, is even more powerful!
But he is currently no match for the Feng system. A young marshal personally led a reorganized brigade. It seemed that the Feng clan had invested heavily in this batch of arms and was determined to win it. With Fengjun facing a formidable enemy, it was impossible to force him to stay. Maybe the enemy would turn against him and eat him, or it could be said that Yijun interfered with Fengjun's actions and was forced to defend himself! Judging from the rumors that Zhang Zuolin annexed Feng and Hei provinces, it is not impossible for this kind of thing to happen.
Chang Desheng is helpless, but still trying to make a last ditch effort. He took a breath and said: "We eat the royal food together and work for the country together. Your army insists on doing this. I have nothing to say. The central government will decide what is right and wrong. It's just that your army came suddenly and may not have enough manpower to transport arms." Although Yi Jun is old and old, he can still do the job. Let the young commander wait for a while, and I will arrange the manpower to move it." He was about to use dragging tactics to solve the current problem. As long as there is time, there may be a chance to remedy it.
But the young marshal directly rejected his kindness. Zhang Hanqing said: "Soldiers are valuable and quick, and all arms are immediately supplied on the spot. General Chang's kindness was learned and he accepted it."
Needless to say the next scene, Fengjun expressed Zhang Hanqing’s joy with practical actions and completely ignored Yijun’s indignation: bundles of brand-new rifles were pulled out of the warehouse by Fengjun and escorted to the car happily. In order to transport this batch of arms, Zhang Hanqing allocated a whole regiment of troops!
Unwilling to be humiliated, Chang Desheng quickly informed his old boss Jiang Guiti to gain support. However, what was unexpected was that Jiang Guiti, citing his old age and lack of military skills, unexpectedly competed with Zhang Zuolin, a rising political star, which disappointed him. After a verbal dispute in Tianjin, Jiang Guiti also knew that the general trend of the world was changing. Like Fengjun openly annexing his Yijun Song Jiuling tribe, there was no change from top to bottom.Is there no way?
Under Zhang Hanqing's arrangement, the 27th Division used "thunder to cover up" the news that the weapons prepared to arm the Anhui Clan were kidnapped to Beijing. Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui were equally shocked.
Feng Guozhang was shocked because he thought that the Anhui clique was trying to win over Fengjun by trading arms, thereby achieving the goal of Anhui and Fengli uniting to pressure the Zhili clique into making concessions. In fact, apart from this robbery, Feng Jun in Tianjin did make him feel strong military pressure.
Duan Qirui was shocked that Zhang Zuolin acted so boldly. As early as a few years ago, we deeply felt that the old Beiyang faction was torn apart and could not become one situation, so we decided to accelerate the establishment of our own direct force. Although he is both Prime Minister and Army Chief, he cannot recruit private armed forces for no reason. Fortunately, the First World War was coming to an end, and the Republic of China government also officially joined the Allied Powers a year ago. It could just use this as an excuse to train a group of transnational troops to go to Europe to participate in the war, called the "War Army." So Xu Shuzheng was ordered to establish three mixed brigades of the participating armies at the small station, hoping to achieve the purpose of reorganizing the new army.
The ordnance he borrowed from Japan to purchase was to train his direct troops to "join the war army", but now Feng Jun took advantage of it. How could it not be a big headache? On the 26th, Duan Qirui telegraphed to Zhang Zuolin asking for "the original goods to be returned" and shipped to Beijing.
How can you give up what you have so easily? Zhang Zuolin also sent a telegram on the same day, saying that he had already arranged for the southern expedition, but due to lack of arms, it was inconvenient to set off. Now he was withdrawing the arms without reporting them. He was afraid that it would take time to go back and forth for instructions, so he had no choice but to retain them first and then report them. On the 27th, he replied to Duan Qirui: "This request for arms from heaven is in accordance with the clear order of the head of state to rectify the army and provide backing for the government. The troops trained will support the Central Committee, both internally and externally. Once When an army is organized and trained, it listens to the government's instructions. It moves to the capital and stays in the capital. The purpose is the same. The entire army belongs to the state, so how can we have sufficient equipment?"
How can you spit out the fat meat that you finally ate in your mouth? This is not Zhang Zuolin's character. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 292 Entering the customs for the first time
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Duan Qirui was helpless. Zhang Zuolin had already made it clear: Whether I am borrowing arms or robbing arms, they are all the property of the country. Who can use them? Why favor one over the other? Since you want me to work for you, you have to get some blood no matter what, right? He, Duan Qirui, can't say that these arms are for him to recruit private soldiers! As a result, Duan Qirui, whose weakness was touched, was angry and unable to express his anger, but his wariness towards Feng Jun became even deeper.
Because Feng Jun quickly entered the pass, Feng Yuxiang's "surprise army plan" to attack Anhui could not be realized. The Beijing government had previously ordered to replace Brigadier Feng Yuxiang. At that time, Feng Yuxiang had threatened that all officers and soldiers would advance and retreat with the Brigadier. At this time, the situation forced him to bow his head. Ni Sichong asked the Beijing government to quickly telegraph Cao Kun to send troops to attack Feng's brigade "to eliminate the huge danger of the Yangtze River"; he also accused Feng Kang of refusing to explain, and added troops to block the upper and lower reaches of Wuxue, secretly going back and forth with Su Du's secret merchant army. A brief summary of everything shows that his ambition is not limited and he is ordered by others. But Cao Kun refused to send troops, so Ni Sichong did not dare to attack alone.
Feng Yuxiang had already become prominent at this time. How to arrange this army was a problem. Zhang Huaizhi suggested that Feng Brigade be transferred to Heilongjiang for garrison. Of course, Feng Yuxiang refused to be sent to the army and was "sent to the frontiers to serve." Of course Zhang Zuolin would not welcome this army, and he still wanted to seep sand into Lao Zhang's territory? It was not until March 18 of the following year that the Beijing government adopted Cao Kun's advice and gave Feng Yuxiang the sanction of "dismissal and retention". He kidnapped the army lieutenant general and was temporarily allowed to remain as brigade commander and handed over to Cao Kun for control and deployment. This is a story later. .
After Fengjun entered the customs, Zhang Zuolin made two demands: to remove Li Chun and to attack Feng Yuxiang. He said this was to "support the head of state." But the head of state whom he supported was frightened and panicked. On February 26, Feng Guozhang convened an emergency meeting at the Presidential Palace to discuss the countermeasures for Fengjun's entry into the Customs. He asked Duan Qirui with bitter eyes: "This time, Fengjun neither received orders nor reported before sending troops to enter the Customs. What is his motive? "Duan Qirui replied that he didn't know. Feng asked loudly: "What collusion did Xu Shuzheng, the former deputy army chief, do in Fengtian?" Duan Geng was too coy to say anything.
Of course there was no result from this meeting. Feng wanted Duan to ask Zhang Zuolin to withdraw. Duan was the original man who summoned Fengjun to enter the Pass. How could he ask Fengjun to withdraw again? What's more, it's easy to summon a tiger but difficult to retreat. Even if he wanted to ask Zhang to retreat, he actually couldn't do it. If you retreat, you can make yourself king, but if you advance, you will get all the benefits. How can Zhang Hanqing, who is well versed in this period of history, give up the fat he has obtained so easily; and Duan Qirui doesn't know that Zhang Zuolin, the king of Guanwai, is not easy to mess with, so he will not invite him. It's easy to invite him out, but since he drinks poison to quench his thirst, he has no choice but to "go hard"!
Feng Guozhang knew that it was impossible to ask Duan Qirui to withdraw from the Fengtian army, so he had to ask Zhao Erxun, who had served as governor of the three eastern provinces in the late Qing Dynasty, personally recruited Zhang Zuolin and supported him, to go to Fengtian to persuade Zhang Zuolin to withdraw from the army.
Zhang Zuolin values ????love and justice. He has always been grateful and respectful to Zhao Erxun. In addition, Zhao is 31 years older than Zhang. Zhang Zuolin has always treated him like a father and taught his children to always call Zhao Erxun their grandfather. But feelings are feelings, and politics is politics. As times change, Zhang Zuolin no longer wants to blame his old boss, but due to human feelings, he cannot directly refute him. However, Zhao Erxun was getting old, and with Zhang Zuolin's Tai Chi skills, his run was ultimately in vain.
Since Fengjun entered the customs, its momentum has been aggressive. On March 5, the first unit of Fengjun drove from Tianjin to Langfang and inspected passengers at the station, which shocked Chinese and foreign people. The State Council in Beijing called to dissuade them, explaining that Langfang was not a martial law area and could not inspect passengers. Fengjun continued to perform his duties and ignored them. However, the telegram sent by Zhang Zuolin was all about him. He said: "Sending troops and unarmed is because the head of state is determined to take charge of the war. The troops have entered the pass and have no way to retreat. If there is trouble on the Yangtze River, they can go south to provide assistance." He asked the Beijing government to The government designated barracks in the Temple of Heaven for the troops to garrison, and did not wait for a reply. His subordinates were already looking for barracks in the Temple of Heaven and Nancheng.
In order to unify the command of the troops in the pass, Zhang Zuolin made himself the commander and Yang Yuting as the chief of staff to control all the troops in the pass; Zhang Zuoxiang became the commander-in-chief of the rear route and stationed at Shanhaiguan to ensure that he could advance or retreat; Zhang Hanqing returned to Fengtian, Taking charge of rear affairs, like a prince supervising the country.
Seemingly to explain Fengjun’s reason for entering Beijing, on March 7, Fengtian published phone calls between Zhang Zuolin, Cao Kun, and Zhang Huaizhi. Zhang Zuolin stated in his song and telegram on March 5 that his purpose was to "support the Central Committee, maintain the overall situation, always unite, quell civil strife, contact comrades, and save people from danger together." He also said that the Tianjin Conference incorporated Fengjun into the first line, and later added He was extremely sympathetic to the reorganization into the second route, and has now been organized into six mixed brigades. If they do not move out, it will be "distrust to comrades and unjust to my brother. Each brigade will arrive in Xu in a few days to join the main army." , listen to the command."
In this telegram, Zhang Zuolin tried his best to explain that "I have no personal ambitions. I have exceeded my wealth, fame, and power, so what else can I hope for? I only focus on the current situation, and I am expanding my strength to coach me." For the sake of my brother, I have no other personal intentions. If there are any lies,?God observes. "His ardent sentiments can only be sworn to heaven.
Cao Kun's positive message on March 7 was to welcome Fengjun to the pass, praising Zhang Zuolin as "genggeng righteousness, upright and bright, a close friend of flesh and blood, life and death." Please Fengjun gather in Xuzhou and join the second route; please also send one or two more A mixed brigade drove to Hankou and joined the first line." Zhang Huaizhi's Yang Dian praised Fengjun's entry into the pass as "strengthening our morale and strengthening our backup", and said that Hanzhuang had been designated as the first stop for Fengjun's march south.
Zhang Zuolin did not want his troops to serve as cannon fodder, but he had said enough and could not stop there. While hesitating, Zhang Hanqing smiled softly after understanding: "This is easy. Uncle Xu has been idle for a long time. He has failed in the black province. It is better to let him go to Shaanxi to fight the 'Jingguo Army'."
This Uncle Xu is Xu Lanzhou, who was taken over by Zhang Hanqing. He was the military armaments assistant of Heilongjiang Province, but the governor Bao Guiqing was wary of him. Wu Junsheng and Han Linchun had two divisions on the other side. He, the outdated division commander, was completely There is no room for expression. The original main force of his first division was disintegrated by Zhang Hanqing. The remaining troops were later organized into a brigade and had no serious territory to recuperate. They still relied on Zhang Hanqing for "support". Zhang Zuolin still felt a little guilty about him, but Heizhou really couldn't accommodate so many dragons. Now he had the opportunity to solve a problem that he had, of course he was happy.
After a heart-to-heart talk with Xu Lanzhou, Zhang Zuolin sent a message: "Xu Lanzhou, the former assistant military affairs officer of Heilongjiang Province, is loyal and brave to the three armed forces. At this time when the country is employing people, Zuolin does not shy away from personal feelings and recommends him as the commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi Bandit Suppression Army. , will definitely shock Xiaoxiao and regain the lost territory." Xu Lanzhou led the troops again and naturally accepted the order happily. In order to make up for his original "immorality", Zhang Hanqing managed to get him the much-needed 1,000 army horses and a large amount of baggage. Xu Lanzhou, who originally had some objections to Zhang Hanqing, had to express his gratitude again and again because the army was "cannibalized". The grudge has disappeared.

Chapter 293 Blessings and misfortunes
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The Beiyang government received a joint telegram from the governors on March 19. This telegram was headed by Cao Kun and included Beiyang warlords from 15 provinces and three special zones, including the three governors of the Yangtze River. They requested Duan Qirui to form a cabinet again. Neiyun said: "Kun and others have agreed with each other that if my father-in-law resumes his post as Kuixi, he and I will swear to the same oath to support the crisis together. Otherwise, we will just follow the father-in-law and not care about worldly affairs. The safety of the country, whether we are separated or separated from each other, is my father-in-law."
When Feng Guozhang received this telegram, it was like receiving a sad letter from Meidun. He had no choice but to ask Duan Qirui to "comply with everyone's orders and put the Beiyang group first" and accept the order to form a cabinet.
If we let him go like this, Duan Qirui would not be worthy of being called a tumbler in the political arena of the Republic of China. He was very bachelor and still said that he had "no intention of doing this."
The situation has deteriorated, and Feng Guozhang vowed to the heaven and earth to express his willingness to live and die with Duan and share hardships. And voluntarily agreed to five conditions: the land affairs office will still be moved back to the State Council, with Jin Yunpeng as the director and acting teacher Jingyun - Jin is one of Duan's four kings; the State Council resolution, the president promised not to change a word without authorization; Cabinet members are selected by the Prime Minister without the consent of the President; the Secretary-General of the Government is recommended by the Prime Minister; telegrams from the Central Committee (referring to the President) to the provinces must be approved and issued by the hospital.
Once these five conditions are laid out, Lao Feng basically puts himself in a high position as a puppet. The reason why he did this was that on the one hand he was temporarily avoiding the edge; on the other hand, he took advantage of Duan Qirui's busy time of forming a cabinet and dealing with the aftermath to quickly consolidate his direct forces in various provinces in preparation for counterattack.
This time, Duan Qirui has full control of the central government in Beijing. On March 23, the presidential decree approved the resignation of Prime Minister Wang Shizhen and appointed Duan Qirui as Prime Minister.
On the 24th, Zhang Zhitan was appointed Secretary-General of the State Council.
On the 25th, the Mainland China Office moved back to the State Council.
On the 27th, Zhang Jingyao was appointed governor of Hunan and governor of the province.
On the 28th, the order was made to change the commander-in-chief of the Navy to a special appointment, with Lan Jianshu as the commander-in-chief.
On the 29th, Lu Zhengxiang was reinstated as the Director-General of Foreign Affairs, Qian Nengxun was the Director-General of the Interior, Duan Zhigui was the Army Commander-in-Chief, Liu Guanxiong was the Navy Commander-in-Chief, Fu Zengxiang was the Education Director-General, Zhu Shen was the Justice Director-General, Tian Wenlie was the Agriculture and Commerce Director-General, and Cao Rulin was the Transportation Director-General and Finance Department. Chief Minister, Wu Dingchang is the Deputy Minister of Finance. These are all important figures in the Anhui clique. From this moment on, the Anhui clique completely controlled the central government of Beiyang.
As an incentive to those who support it, the Beiyang government awarded Cao Kunxun the title of Cao Kunxun, the first-class Baoguang Jiahe Medal with a large ribbon; awarded Zhang Jingyao the first-class Wenhu Medal, the second-class Baoguang Jiahe Medal with a large ribbon; Wu Peifu received three honors and the second-class Baoguang Jiahe Medal with a large ribbon.
When Duan Qirui was reinstated as Prime Minister for the third time, Feng Guozhang completely bowed his head. Even the Third Governor of the Yangtze River, who was directly connected to the powerful elements who advocated peace, did not dare to speak out against him. The most popular person in the political situation at this time was Xu Shuzheng, and Li Chun also tried his best to win over Xu. Jiangxi Governor Chen Guangyuan publicly expressed his acceptance of the third phase of the battle plan. By this period, the Zhili clique had completely surrendered to the Anhui clique.
On this occasion, Duan Qirui explained at the military conference in Hankou the importance of uniting the Beiyang faction and the decision to implement the policy of fighting against South Korea, and then proposed the fourth phase of the battle plan and sent it to the relevant provinces for implementation according to the plan. Regarding the presidential issue, Duan Qirui advocated convening a new Congress quickly to conduct the presidential election as scheduled. This was the later famous Anfu Congress planned by Xu Shuzheng, a close associate of the Anhui clique.
Before Duan Qirui formed the cabinet for the third time, all favorable circumstances were in his favor. However, after he came to power, the situation changed: the warlords of the Anhui clique and the main war faction supported him for their own reasons, hoping that the war would lead to separation. They borrowed money and arms from Japan, and at the same time, they were able to withhold national taxes and buy horses and recruit troops because of the war.
When Fengjun entered the customs, he was not satisfied after "taking the opportunity" to rob a batch of arms. Shortly after Duan came to power, the second batch of 30,000 firearms shipped from Japan was robbed by Fengjun in Tanggu! The collusion between Duan Qirui's government and Japan did not gain much, because the supply of arms only benefited Fengjun, and Japanese arms were robbed by Fengjun twice. Although there is a lot of borrowing, water from afar cannot put out a fire that is near.
After intercepting arms twice, Zhang Zuolin used these arms to equip a total of 7 brigades, greatly increasing his strength. It turned out that after the Song Jiuling Regiment of Yijun surrendered, Zhang Hanqing integrated many idle troops and gave him the position of commander of the mixed brigade. Now that the arms are in hand, the shelf of this mixed brigade can be truly put up.
Among the veterans who started their careers following Zhang Zuolin, Sun Liechen has succeeded him as the division commander of the main 27th Division. Yang Yuting is the unshakable General Counselor of the Military Warden's Office and Governor-General of the Arsenal. Tang Yulin has been marginalized. Only Zhang Zuoxiang has been promoted from Chief of Staff of the 27th Division. He was promoted to Chief of Staff of the Military Governor's Office, which was a slight advancement in name. In contrast, Han Linchun and Guo Songling of the Marshal Department came to power one after another as newcomers. Even Wang Yizhe, who was not good at military affairs, was a prominent figure in the first division, and Jiang Dengxuan rose to the top in one step. In contrast, Zhang Zuolin felt sorry for ZhangMake a appearance.
However, Zhang Zuoxiang was very open-minded: when the First Division was formed, he had the opportunity to become the division commander, but he gave it up because of the impact on Zhang Zuolin and gave it to Han Linchun; when the 28th Division surrendered, it was an opportunity, but he gave up the opportunity because of the stability of the military morale. Gave it to Ji Jinchun.
??Although he repeatedly gave way to talents and settled down behind others, the young and old marshals will never forget him. Zhang Zuolin expressed his trust in Zhang Zuoxiang by letting him serve as the commander-in-chief of the rear army, which was related to his life and death. Zhang Hanqing, on the other hand, enhanced his influence by proposing to elevate the status of the chief of staff. As chief of staff of the Fengtian Governor's Office, Zhang Zuoxiang's level was already the same as that of the division commanders, and he could command operations on Zhang Zuolin's behalf.
In addition, in accordance with the principle of establishing positions based on people, Zhang Hanqing appointed Zhang Zuoxiang as the vice chairman of the People's Party Military Committee, which at least nominally elevated his status within the party. Although the influence of the People's Party at this time was only in Fengtian and Heilongjiang, after all, It is better than nothing, which is also what the young commander wants.
Zhang Zuoxiang felt this intention and expressed his full gratitude for it, but still declined politely. This kind of high moral integrity makes the whole family even more noble. Zhang Hanqing did not give up. He sent his adjutant and propaganda minister Zhu Guangmu to personally convey the message: "Uncle Eighth is not willing to be the vice chairman. Is it because he thinks the People's Party is not big enough and thinks it can't become a climate? Only for this reason is it necessary to rely on Uncle Eighth's connections." and aura, so that the People’s Party can grow stronger as soon as possible!”
This sentence is half passionate and half heartfelt. The Kuomintang was founded by a group of young people headed by him, and none of the elders of the Fengtian faction got involved. As a result, the situation in Fengtian could not be opened up for a long time, and even the black provinces did not pay attention to it. If Zhang Zuoxiang "joins", no matter what, it will increase the weight of the People's Party, and it will also be a sweet relationship, right?
Zhang Zuoxiang must have understood Zhang Hanqing's thoughts and wanted to compliment him, so he smiled and said: "Go and tell the young marshal that I appreciate his kindness. How about I take office now as vice chairman?" In his mind In the face of this, the role of the People's Party is just a thing created by the young marshal. He only expresses his support. Anyway, it is in name only. However, when Zhang Hanqing later announced that he was the chairman of the People's Party's Military Committee, and the only vice-chairman was Zhang Zuoxiang, he somewhat understood what the young marshal meant: that was a favor to himself. You must know that Han Linchun, Guo Songling, Wang Yizhe, Mi Chunlin and others who hold heavy troops are only committee members.
At this time, Jiang Dengxuan had been personally "introduced" by Zhang Hanqing and became a glorious "preparatory member" of the People's Party. When the time comes, he can be promoted to three levels in a row. A member of the Military Commission cannot escape, and at worst he has to He is a member of the Central Committee. However, why can Zhang Zuoxiang be the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission of the People's Party when he is not a party member?
It’s actually very simple. When the People’s Party was founded, both Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen were honorary vice-chairmen of the People’s Party, which was equivalent to joining the party in disguise. This matter was not stipulated in the party constitution! At that time, as long as there is a slight modification, when the party constitution is revised, it should be written as follows: "The honorary chairman or vice chairman of the party is a naturally qualified member of the People's Party." Wouldn't it be done? It was the foreshadowing that Zhang Hanqing had laid down. At the beginning of its establishment, there were naturally many loopholes. The key was to see who could make good use of these loopholes.
At this time, good news came from the Shenyang Arsenal: the mountain cannon obtained from the remnants of the Zongshe Party some time ago had been successfully "recycled" - in fact, it was just that the Japanese writings on the cannon were scraped off, and then rebuilt with molten iron. Just pour it in. Although there are still some traces of this, after all, it is not very direct and blatant to tell the world that these are the original batch of "stolen goods". Even if it is revealed to the public, it can be justified. At the moment when the strength is not enough, Zhang Hanqing is still extremely wary. As for the Japanese.
Thirty guns, eighteen of which were left in the Guards Division, forming a brand new artillery battalion. The remaining twelve, together with several cannons eliminated by the Guards Division, were allocated to the First Division to build an artillery battalion. The First Division was originally formed from the Heilongjiang Cavalry Brigade and the Infantry Brigade. It had basically no heavy weapons in the full sense. Now that I found such treasures out of the blue, I was naturally very happy. In addition, it is commanded by middle and lower-level officers brought out by the backbone of the teaching regiment. Once the training is in place, its combat effectiveness will definitely not be inferior to that of the 29th Division, which barely ranks among the Beiyang Army.
"It's not that Zhang Hanqing is partial, it's really the lack of heavy weapons that leads to the difference between the close and the distant. Zhang Zuolin could only smile openly at his son's little calculation. It was better for the meat to rot in the pot than not at all.
The two seizures of 60,000 guns were equivalent to an update of equipment for the entire Feng army. Zhang Hanqing didn't eat alone this time, there was no need. Even Song Jiuling's mixed brigade, which was newly assigned to the Guard Division, had its uniforms changed from top to bottom, so it was better to be open-minded. Some old-fashioned rifles and local guns have really come back to life after being eliminated, and the Fengtian Ordnance Repair Factory finally has some spare parts and materials for use.
But after this, Duan Qirui was extremely afraid of Zhang Zuolin, and it was inevitable for Feng and Anhui to fall out. At this time, Jilin was like a thorn in Fengtian's back, and Feng Guozhang was no longer able to fight openly or secretly with Duan Qirui. On the surface, Fengjun's first entry into the Pass was very impressive, but once Duan Qirui regained his composure, in a hurry, Fengjun's strength was not comparable to that of the prosperous Anhui faction. If the knot between the Feng clique and the Anhui clique cannot be resolved as soon as possible, it can be said to be endless troubles for the Feng army. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)However, once Duan Qirui slowed down, in a hurry, the strength of the Feng Clan was not comparable to that of the Wan Clan, which was at its peak. If the knot between the Feng clique and the Anhui clique cannot be resolved as soon as possible, it can be said to be endless troubles for the Feng army.

Chapter 294 Xu Shuzheng’s strategy
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
At the critical moment, Zhang Hanqing had the idea of ??dividing Zhili and Anhui. He said to Zhang Zuolin: "The reason why my father cannot compete with Duan Qirui at this stage is because the power of the Zhili clique cannot effectively contain the Anhui clique. Now that Duan Qirui has returned to power, The situation is not good for us. If we want to get rid of the future predicament, it is better to take action on the 'amphibious governor'. As long as Cao Kun rebels against Anhui and goes straight to Zhizhi, Duan Qirui will not dare to fall out with his father because he has powerful enemies at both the front and the back. There is also a longer buffer period, and we will see how things change in the future. This means that the enemy of our enemy is our friend."
The enemy of my enemy is my friend! A word to wake up the dreamer. Since Duan Qirui formed the cabinet for the third time, Xu Shuzheng has become the political darling of that period. He was also very ambitious and regarded himself as the backstage of Duan Pavilion. Some people say that in the Beijing government at that time, all military and national plans were in the hands of Duan, while everything in Duan depended on Xu. He was simply the cabinet within the cabinet and the prime minister below the prime minister. Lao Duan's trust in him to this extent was also a big exception during the Republic of China.
In response to Xu Shuzheng's ambition to be the governor of Zhili, Zhang Zuolin assigned Yang Yuting, who had a good personal relationship with him, to give him a suggestion: as long as the current governor of Zhili, Cao Kun, was promoted to the rank of patrol envoy to the two lakes and governor of Hubei, he would be transferred to the current position. The governor of Hubei became the governor of Jiangsu. This not only solved Li Chun, but also attacked the Zhili, and opened a way for himself. It was really a wishful thinking of "killing two birds with one stone".
??This idea, which everyone knew to be unreasonable and impossible, Xu Shuzheng actually agreed to it and carried it out with great fanfare, which was also a strange event in the Republic of China. Later researchers have dug in many directions, but they still don't understand why Xu Shuzheng, whom Duan Qirui relied on as the Great Wall, became so mediocre. They can only understand that he has always been too domineering and is inevitably too self-centered in national affairs.
Xu Shuzheng also believed that Cao Kun would be satisfied if he was promoted from the governor of one province to the patrol envoy of two provinces, and he was still in charge of the governor of one province. If Cao Kun agreed, his Zhili governor would be at his fingertips. Unexpectedly, after this news came out, Cao Kun was very angry: he started his career in the treasure land of Baoding. At the time of warlord disputes, leaving his territory was a signal of demotion. He believed that this was Duan Qirui's government rising up and down secretly, deliberately diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and it was a symbol that the Anhui clique was going to deal with him. Therefore, on April 4, I sent a telegram to the Beijing government, requesting to resign as the propaganda envoy to the two lakes, and before being approved, I asked for a month's leave in order to go to Jigong Mountain in Xinyang to "recuperate from illness".
At that time, Beiyang soldiers often threatened the government by resigning or recuperating. In coordination with Cao's actions, the frontline commander-in-chief Wu Peifu also called Beijing, saying that due to fatigue in the battle, the entire army should be transferred back to Zhili to rest. This means that the Wu tribe can withdraw its troops and return north at any time! The meaning of the sword cannot be ignored.
Cao Kun is the number one general of the main war faction. Although his abilities are mediocre and he has not made much military achievements, his skills in using people are quite good. Wu Peifu was the leader of a division, and he commanded the main force of Cao's army. He served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy on the front line in Hunan, fought against the French Protectorate in Yueyang, Changsha and other places, and even conquered important towns. He was then known as "Chang" Victory General".
Cao Kun also used people without questioning others and let him lead the troops without asking any questions. However, Wu Peifu was so devoted to him that he never dared to disobey him in the whole life and firmly agreed with him politically. Advances and retreats, even when Cao Kun's biggest political failure in official history "bribing the president" occurred and the opportunity arose for Wu Peifu to replace him, Wu Peifu still maintained the bottom line of loyalty and obeyed Cao Kun's words. He could not say that it was not his ability and Thaumaturgy.
Hunan's Jiexun just restored the prestige of the Beiyang faction, and Wu Peifu's tribe was the main force on the battlefield in Hunan. If Cao Kun was really tired of his work and Wu's tribe really withdrew, Duan Qirui's policy of using force to pacify the south would have failed and was put into practice. Running water.
In the eyes of people at the time, the hope of national reunification rested on Wu Peifu. Because Sun Yat-sen, who still dreams of revolution in the south, does not have the strength, and the powerful warlords in Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong have their own plans, there is no need to assume history: as long as Wu Peifu gives an order, his army can defeat Sanxiang and then wipe out Guangdong. The Beijing government's dream of "unifying the two provinces by force" is just around the corner! In order to win over Wu Peifu, Duan Qirui personally went to the front line to work for the army, and in June 1918, he was awarded the title of "General Fuwei" to Wu Peifu.
In order to explain the misunderstanding, Duan asked Xu Shuzheng to come to Hankou in person to apologize to Cao Kun, to dissuade Cao Kun from resigning or asking for leave, and to persuade Cao Ling Wu Peifu not to retreat from the battlefield. Therefore, Xu Shuzheng hit a big snag this time.
Xu Shuzheng was very angry after losing face. He also deployed a new battle plan in Hankou. He planned to transfer Fengjun (a brigade of Xu Lanzhou's department, who was ordered to enter the front line and was in Shaanxi at the time) to fight in Sichuan and transfer it to the battlefield in Hunan. It is used to monitor the Zhili Army to prevent the Zhili Army from failing to fight or retreating.
President Feng was overjoyed when he learned about the discord between Cao Kun and Xu Shuzheng - this was an important step in dividing Cao Kun and Xu Shuzheng.Duan Qirui's government gave him a great opportunity to break away from the embrace of the Anhui clique and return to the Zhili clique. So Lu Jianzhang, a senior adviser to the Presidential Office and Army General, was arranged to come to Tianjin. The purpose was to use Lu Jianzhang to persuade Cao Kun to return to the Zhili Clique and cooperate with Li Chun to turn the military governor's meeting into one that was beneficial to Feng and not beneficial to Duan. situation.
Lu Jianzhang is a behind-the-scenes activist of the peace faction, and has some direct and indirect relationships with the Beiyang warlords in various provinces. Feng Yuxiang's peace initiative is related to him. The Anhui clique has long regarded him as a dangerous person and must quickly get rid of him.
To be honest, in the early days of the Republic of China, there were very few murderers of political figures. This may be a big gain for old China from learning about European, American and Japanese politics. Although Xu Shuzheng was determined to completely solve this problem, he still lacked courage. According to the secret discussion between the Zhang family and his son, Yang Yuting encouraged Xu Shuzheng to kill Lu, thereby laying a hidden stake between the Zhi-Wan clique and the Feng clique, which had gradually become a "three-legged tripartite" in China's central political arena. It is a good thing that has a hundred benefits and no harm. Zhang Zuolin personally arranged for Yang Yuting, who was close to Xu Shuzheng, to "facilitate this matter" at any cost. One is intentional, the other is intentional, and both parties hit it off.
Where to start made the two of them think a lot. Since President Feng was determined to compete with the Anhui clique, how could he not pay special attention to the safety of Lu Jianzhang as an important chess piece? The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has always been the traditional territory of the Zhili clique. Although the Anhui clique is powerful, there are not many opportunities to directly capture this important official of the Zhili clique without overpowering the local snakes. It is necessary not only to have no doubt in his heart, but also to hit the target with one strike. After much thought, the Fengjun Garrison Headquarters suggested by Yang Yuting is an excellent place to go.
For Lu Jianzhang, the superficially "neutral" Fengxi clique is certainly much safer than the Anhui clique with a strong sense of violence. Its vigilance must be lax and the probability of success is high; for Xu Shuzheng, on Fengjun's territory and It was the heavily guarded headquarters that killed important members of the Zhili clique, and no matter how they tried to defend themselves, they could not escape their involvement. This two-bird-with-one-stone strategy is a brilliant one. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 296 Winner
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
In addition to the actual position of commander of the Guards Division, Zhang Hanqing only has the new term "Chairman of the People's Party Military Committee" in the military circles, which is a fancy new term in the eyes of Fengtian people, and it is only for the First Division and the Guards Division. Politically speaking, there is only one position with the highest title, being the Councilor of the Military Governor's Office. The position of "Chairman of the Fengtian Land Reform Committee" is an administrative position with little political effect and no rank. Likewise, the Chairman of the People's Party cannot influence political decisions in Fengtian.
Only the general counselor can be considered as entering the core of the Fengtian system. Yang Yuting should leave the position of general counselor of Fengtian to himself.
Seeing Zhang Hanqing’s happy face, Zhang Zuolin couldn’t help but laugh. This little kid really dares to think! At his age, holding such an important position, even though he is extremely resourceful, is still a bit shocking. He is not afraid, Lao Zhang still has to pay attention to the influence. After all, he is his own son, and he will inevitably be gossiped about by others, saying that he is nepotistic and so on.
It seems that this position is currently unavailable, but this does not affect Xiao Zhang's enthusiasm for giving advice to Lao Zhang.
After the first plan was slightly successful, Zhang Hanqing tried another one.
The Anhui clique cannot be careless about Cao Kun. In fact, Cao Kun also felt that Xu Shuzheng's methods were too vicious, and he had to be wary. But the Anhui clique quickly cured him of this worry: Xu Shuzheng vowed to ensure that the vice presidential issue would be handled according to the original agreement without any changes. Xu Shuzheng added: From now on, he is not required to return to Hankou to preside over the military affairs. As long as he does not oppose the fifth phase of the battle plan and lets others fight, the vice president can be sure to get it. Cao Kun ate this "ecstasy soup" and became undecided again.
On the 31st, the Governor's Corps held another meeting in Tianjin. A special feature of this Tianjin meeting was that Zhang Zuolin personally participated in the meeting of the Governor's Corps. Others who participated were: Cao Kun, Zhang Huaizhi, Xu Shuzheng, Ni Sichong, Tian Zhongyu, Long Jiguang, etc. The Third Governor of the Yangtze River had not yet sent a representative to attend. Ni Sichong arrived on the same day after receiving a secret message from Xu Shuzheng.
This Tianjin meeting is still discussing the presidential issue and the southern expedition issue. Zhang Zuolin agreed to elect Xu Shichang as the next president, and suggested that Duan Qirui be elected vice president. This was the countermeasure that was discussed with Zhang Hanqing and his son. Because at this moment, although he is the governor of Fengtian and has a huge force of 5 divisions, he is unable to legitimately intervene in the situation in Jilin. Zhang Hanqing suggested that Zhang Zuolin's goal should be disguised as the vice president of the Beijing regime. Zhang Zuolin also knew that it would be difficult to achieve this goal with his current strength. His real purpose was to "retreat to the next best thing" and become king in the Northeast first.
Ni Sichong was afraid that the meeting would cause a deadlock, so he suggested not to make a decision on the candidate for vice president for the time being, leaving it to someone with special merits in the war against South Korea. This suggestion was made by Xu Shuzheng through Ni Sichong, because Xu Shuzheng had already promised Cao Kun and could not break his promise. But now that Zhang Zuolin had entered the customs in person, he wanted to win over Zhang Zuolin and encourage Zhang Zuolin to transfer all Fengjun to the south. On the other hand, he used the vice president as bait to lure Cao Kun and his direct army to continue fighting against the South. to undo the stalemate in the South.
Cao Kun originally thought that he was the only vice presidential candidate, and Xu Shuzheng said at the time that it was enough as long as he did not oppose the war in South Korea, and there was no need for him to actively march south. Unexpectedly, the front line in Hunan had changed. His general Wu Peifu refused to fight and established an armistice agreement with the Southern Army. However, this time the Tianjin Conference left the vice president to the person who had meritorious service in the Southern Conquest, while Zhang Zuolin watched from the sidelines. The Tianjin Conference unanimously decided to advise Cao Kun to go south and make meritorious services. On the one hand, Cao Kun was reluctant to give up his position as vice president, but on the other hand, he received a secret message from Wu Peifu, preventing him from going south, which put him in a real dilemma.
At this time, Cao Kun deeply felt that he had been deceived, because if he really went south, Zhang Zuolin would definitely take the opportunity to penetrate deeply into the Beijing regime. Zhang Zuolin was his biggest threat, as he had the ambition to become vice president, and he was also the only candidate besides him. . So when Duan Qirui sent a float to pick up Cao Kun and go to Beijing for detailed discussions, Cao actually refused.
After the Zhili clique rebelled, the strength of Duan Qirui’s Beijing government was greatly reduced. In order to appease Zhang Zuolin and prevent a fire in the backyard, Zhang Zuolin was appointed as the patrol envoy to the three eastern provinces. Of course, Zhang Zuolin's robbery of arms did not allow anyone in the Duan clan to mention it and did not dare to mention it.
This position is a replica of the post of governor of the three eastern provinces in the former Qing Dynasty. It can take over the military power of the three provinces. In terms of actual power, the power of Zhang Zuolin's patrol officer in the three eastern provinces is far greater than that of the governor of the three eastern provinces. The appointment of this position gave Zhang Zuolin reasonable and legal control over the three northeastern provinces.
The direct impact of this incident on Zhang Hanqing is that his title of "Young Marshal" this time is truly worthy of his name: in the early Republic of China, the governor was called "Commander", and the patrolling envoys were called "General". Relatively speaking , the patrol envoy young master is the real "young commander".
When discussing the war against South China at the Tianjin Conference, there were different opinions on who should come first and who should come last. Since Zhang Zuolin said "When the "thug" attitude appeared, the warlords in various provinces advocated using Fengjun as the main force in the front line to replace the direct army that stood still on the front line. But Zhang Zuolin certainly refused to do this. He suggested that Fengjun be used as the general reserve force on each front to support the front line at any time. .
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????This is equivalent to consuming the power of other factions, and then Fengjun can take over. Everyone is not a fool, who is willing to do this? Therefore, this issue has been postponed and undecided. During this period, the only thing the provincial warlords agreed on was asking the Beijing government for military pay, and the amount they offered was 15 million yuan.
Of course you can’t fight without money, so Duan’s cabinet was busy thinking about “money”. Therefore, although Zhang Zuolin personally participated in this Tianjin Conference, there was still no result - but this was the result that Zhang and his son wanted, and it was also the best result. Although Zhang Zuolin raised the voice of supporting the move south loudly, no one doubted his sincerity.
Finance Minister Cao Rulin suggested issuing 240 million yuan in gold coin certificates and borrowing 80 million yuan from the Bank of North Korea as one-third of the reserve. The currency represented by gold coin certificates is one-half of a U.S. dollar. The Currency Bureau was established as the supervisory authority for the issuance of gold coin certificates, and a trading company was set up to handle issuance and international exchange business. Duan adopted this suggestion and drafted regulations on the issuance of gold coin coupons, and asked Feng Guozhang to announce them for implementation, but Feng once again refused to seal them.
But President Feng finally convened a meeting on August 9 with the heads of various ministries and the heads of the China Communications Commission and the Central Bank of China to discuss the issue of gold coin coupons. Cao Rulin reported at the meeting that the issuance of gold coin coupons was a reform of the currency system and a preparatory step for the adoption of the gold standard. On August 10, Feng announced the formulation of gold coin coupon regulations and the official regulations of the Currency Bureau in the name of the president.
Western countries have expressed opposition to this measure of the Beijing government. They believe that China should first discuss its reform of the currency system with the five-nation banking group and should not act alone. This is against the common interests of the West, so they jointly protested against China. At this time, as the European War was coming to an end, the great powers began to pay attention to China again. They were not as relaxed as they were during the emergency period of the European War. Therefore, they could not tolerate the various collusions between the Japanese government and the Duan Qirui government, and still wanted to use The five-nation banking consortium controlled China, which also prevented Japan from having a monopoly on borrowing money from China.
In view of the strong pressure from Western countries, the Japanese government did not want to excessively incur the ill will of Western countries. Therefore, it recalled Nishihara, the Prime Minister's personal representative who stayed in China, and did not consider the gold coin loan for the time being.
Without money, naturally you can’t fight, because soldiers need to be paid. The princes from all walks of life have created a mess for the distribution of interests, but they have not made any decision to go south. They can only follow the clique and get the equipment that is crucial in the warlords' melee with nothing, and take advantage of it.
In order to eliminate the direct doubts caused by Lu Jianzhang's death at the Fengjun headquarters in Tianjin, Zhang Zuoxiang, who served as the leader of the investigation team, also lost no time in announcing the investigation results of the entire incident: "It was Xu Shuzheng and Yang Yuting who pretended to receive Fengjun military pay. They colluded with each other on the matter, and then took advantage of Yang's gullibility to assassinate Lu Jianzhang at the Fengjun headquarters, with the intention of shifting the trouble eastward to Fengtian. Not only Zhang Zuolin, who was far away in the northeast, was unaware of the whole incident, but his accomplice Yang Yuting was also kept in the dark. . Although Xu Shuzheng is nominally the deputy commander-in-chief of Fengjun, Zhang Zuolin, the commander-in-chief, cannot restrain him." The implication is naturally to distance Fengjun from this matter.
At the same time, Zhang Zuolin was also quickly investigating the bomb thrown by Zhang Hanqing. This made Zhang Hanqing's "Intelligence Bureau" famous in the Northeast, and also established the status of this department in Zhang Zuolin's heart. This was exactly the news that made Zhang Zuolin furious at the beginning: Xu Shuzheng pretended to receive military war funds to enrich his own pockets, and conspired with Yang Yuting to establish another mountain.
It turns out that since Duan Qirui formed the cabinet for the third time on March 25, Xu Shuzheng has received a total of 5.5 million yuan in military expenses from Fengjun, but Fengjun only actually received more than 1.8 million yuan, a difference of 3.7 million yuan! He further inquired and found that Xu Shuzheng, in order to expand his strength, conspired with Fengjun Chief of Staff Yang Yuting to use the name of Fengjun to fraudulently receive 3.7 million yuan in military funds from the Ministry of War, and established 4 brigades in Luoyang, Xinyang and other places. army. Yang Yuting also planned to appoint his close associates Yu Zhen and Ding Chao, graduates of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and officers Song Ziyang and Chu Qixiang of the Anhui clique as brigade commanders. All the money was used to train the war troops and organize the election of the new Congress. It turned out that Xu actually used "fake reimbursements"!
Since Zhang Zuolin entered the customs, in his contacts with all parties, all he heard was how domineering and rampant Xu Shuzheng was, and how he used Duan Qirui to bully the Beiyang armies, so he was already dissatisfied with Xu Shuzheng. How could he not be angry after learning that he had diverted military expenditures for other purposes and bullied others to his own head? Just because getting rid of Lu Jianzhang's matter is the top priority, this news has been suppressed again and again. Now is the time to let it go.
Therefore, without waiting for consultation with the Beijing government, he immediately ordered Xu Shuzheng to be dismissed from his position as deputy commander of the Fengjun Army, and he wanted to settle the score with Xu. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 297 Pressure

When Duan Qirui heard that Zhang Zuolin had fallen out, for fear of causing other trouble, he quickly asked Xu Shuzheng to see Zhang to apologize and promised to return the money in a short period of time. In order to comfort Zhang Zuolin, Beijing issued a letter of appointment on August 24. Zhang Jinghui, the former commander of the 53rd Brigade of the 27th Division under Zhang Zuolin, was appointed as the commander of the newly established 16th Division by Fengjun. The people under his jurisdiction were Yu Zhen and Ding Chao. Two newly formed brigades of recruits.
In the same year, the "Anfu Congress" under the control of the Anhui clique elected Xu Shichang as president with an absolute advantage, becoming the third president of Beiyang.
Such an investigation result completely places the responsibility on Xu Shuzheng. Since Xu Shuzheng had made mistakes in the first place, he had to admit his mistakes to Zhang Zuolin on the military expenditures, and had to take the blame for the assassination of Lu Jianzhang. Zhang Zuolin also made full use of his acting talent, and became furious in the name of "colluding with foreign aid and creating internal party members". Yang Yuting is going to be shot.
Naturally, the generals in the army tried to dissuade him one after another. Although Zhang Hanqing did not have a good relationship with Yang Yuting, he always appreciated Yang's talents. He believed that talents were rare and tried his best to dissuade him. Zhang Zuolin originally regarded Yang Yuting as Zhuge and his "think tank" and had always relied on him, so naturally he wanted to give this great favor to Naizi.
Yang Yuting was deeply grateful for the young marshal's help, but felt ashamed to face Zhang Zuolin, so he worked in Jingtu Temple Hutong, Andingmen, Beijing, and his life was provided by Li Jingming, a giant businessman in Beijing and Tianjin.
Therefore, when Zhang Zuolin came out of seclusion this time, he gained not only the real needs but also the strength, becoming the biggest winner of each faction. Internally, Zhang Hanqing took over all Yang Yuting's forces. Zhang Hanqing simply asked Mi Chunlin to take over the Shenyang Arsenal - the logistics department was already inextricably linked with it; it was time for Zhang Zuoxiang, the chief of staff of the Fengjun Army, to take over. , this is the best reward for veterans who focus on the overall situation. From this point of view, Zhang Hanqing is the biggest winner in the Feng family.
Turning back, Zhang Zuolin reached out to Jilin again. As long as Meng Enyuan was still in Jilin, Zhang Zuolin's military orders could not flow smoothly in Jilin, which made Zhang Zuolin feel like a stuck in his throat. Across Jilin, control of Heilongjiang is not so easy, right? Moreover, there is no room for others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch! If we want to take the three eastern provinces completely into our own hands, we must expel Meng Enyuan from Jilin. So Zhang Zuolin started his second attempt.
Now he has the designation of 5 divisions: the original 27th Division, Ji Jinchun 28th Division, Wu Junsheng 29th Division, Han Linchun 1st Division, and the newly adapted Zhang Jinghui 16th Division. There are 7 brigades reorganized from the Jie munitions and the newly built mixed brigades after Yijun Song Jiuling surrendered, totaling a huge army of 5 divisions and 8 brigades. Of course, Zhang Hanqing's Guard Division will not be counted in the official combat army sequence.
With so many armies, it is no longer possible to manage them as before, so the establishment of new military institutions is inevitable. There are existing examples of Zhang Hanqing's military committee, and Zhang Zuolin was not polite and picked them up at his fingertips. He announced that the armies of Fenghui and Heilongjiang provinces would be unified and called Fengjun - this was also a sign of the formal formation of the Fengtian clique, and he himself served as the commander-in-chief of Fengjun.
This is legal, because he is the patrol envoy of the three northeastern provinces and the military governor of Fengtian officially appointed by the government of the Republic of China. In theory, he is in charge of all armies, large and small, in the northeast.
Naturally, Jilin, which lies between Fenghei and Fenghei, is definitely his next target. He has been staring at this place for a long time.
Jilin is not as important as Fengtian outside the pass, and its population is only half that of Fengtian, so there are not many troops stationed there. The only two brigades with combat effectiveness are the Jilin Mixed Brigade and the Jilin Second Mixed Brigade. Under such advantageous conditions, Zhang Zuolin's life would be in vain if he could not come up with the idea of ??embezzling Jilin.
Jilin Governor Meng Enyuan, whose courtesy name was Shucun, was from Shuangqiaohe Town in the southern suburbs of Tianjin. He trained at a small station and enlisted in the army. In 1904, he was appointed as the commander of the Jilin patrol army and became prosperous at the same time as Zhang Zuolin. In the second year of the Republic of China, Chen Zhaochang, the governor of Jilin, was expelled and he gained military and political power in Jilin Province. When the governor's army was in trouble, he was promoted to be the leader because he was the oldest, and everyone respected him as Brother Meng. He is also similar to Bi Guan, he can write the character "tiger", and the internal affairs of supervising the department are left to his son-in-law Lu Chengwu (his father was the first director of the "Capital Law Enforcement Division" during Yuan Shikai's time, later the governor of Shaanxi, and was just elected Lu Jianzhang was shot dead), and foreign affairs were handed over to his nephew and chief of staff of the Supervisory Office, Gao Shibi.
His life experience is also quite legendary. Due to a poor family and the early death of his parents, he became an orphan and lived on the streets since he was a child. By chance, Meng Enyuan became a tea server at the "Ye Laixiang" brothel in Tianjin. Seeing him carrying a big copper teapot from morning to night, shuttling between the rooms upstairs and downstairs, making tea and pouring water, and being busy, a naughty prostitute gave him the nickname "Big Brother" teapot".
Yuan Shikai, who was training at Tianjin Station at that time, was a frequent customer of "Tuberose". Meng Enyuan quickly became familiar with him. Once, while making tea for Yuan Shikai, he revealed to Yuan his idea of ??joining the army. Seeing that he was flexible, resourceful and physically strong, Yuan Shikai agreed to his request. In 1896, Empress Dowager Cixi came to Tianjin to inspect YuanKai's new army. Cixi was supported by eunuchs and walked in front, followed closely by Yuan Shikai. During the review, one of Cixi's jewel-encrusted hairpins fell off her head. The eunuch didn't see Cixi. Meng Enyuan, who served as Yuan Shikai's bodyguard, had quick eyes and quick hands and picked up the hairpin.
After the review, Cixi was going back to her room to rest. Meng Enyuan ran forward in three steps and two steps at a time, knelt at Cixi's feet holding the hairpin in both hands, and said loudly: "When the phoenix hairpin falls to the ground, return to Foshan." Cixi was very happy after hearing Meng Enyuan's sweet words. After Meng left, Cixi asked Yuan Shikai: "Who was holding the hairpin just now?" Yuan answered truthfully. Cixi said: "Now that every officer in the New Army is so shrewd, it shows that Lord Yuan has trained his troops well." Before Cixi returned to Beijing from Tianjin, she said to Yuan Shikai: "That man surnamed Meng can do something big." Yuan Shikai saw that Meng Enyuan was under attack Cixi regarded Meng Enyuan so highly and gained face for herself. After returning to the small station, she immediately named Meng Enyuan as the standard bearer. After Meng Enyuan picked up the hairpin, he got the nickname "General Picking Up the Hairpin".
Meng Enyuan led troops in battles, often leading the charge, commanding flexibly, and winning every time, so step by step he climbed to the positions of commander, commander-in-chief, and commander-in-chief of Nanyang Town, Henan Province. Yuan Shikai admired Meng Enyuan very much. After taking office as president, he appointed him as the governor of Jilin. The nephew Gao Shibi served as the brigade commander of Jilin's second mixed brigade; his close confidant Pei Qixun served as the brigade commander of Jilin's mixed brigade and managed Jilin like an iron barrel. He was stationed in Jilin for twelve years, and his influence spread throughout the province. He had considerable influence in the three eastern provinces, and his position was not easy to shake. He was known as "Jilin Zhang Zuolin".
In addition to military power, he also owned a large area of ??land in Mengsu, Daxin, Futian Village and Qinghe Farm in the Hanzhi District today. He also invested in and operated flour, cotton yarn and other industrial and commercial enterprises in Tianjin. He can be regarded as the richest and most powerful person in southeast Tianjin. One family.
His son and daughter-in-law, Lu Jianzhang, who had just been killed, had served as the commander of the security forces of Yuan Shikai's presidential palace and the governor of Shaanxi. He was highly trusted and was the backbone of the direct line. It can be said that there is strength from the outside and strong support from within. Neither Zhang Zuolin nor Feng Delin from the province could exclude him, let alone get involved in Jilin. He observed for a long time but couldn't find an opportunity to make a move.
Just when Zhang Zuolin was worried, the opportunity came.
The veteran Meng Enyuan would not willingly support Zhang Zuolin as the patrol envoy to the three eastern provinces. He saw Zhang Zuolin's power extending to the three provinces year by year, and his heart was filled with tension and fear. In particular, Zhang Zuolin ascended to the high position of the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces and took full control of the military and horse power of the three provinces. In name alone, he could eat him to death, not to mention the astonishingly large number of troops, which made him feel even more imminent. threats. In panic, he resorted to a foolish move and used the method of issuing banknotes indiscriminately to expand his army and prepare for war to deal with Zhang Zuolin.
But Jilin is not as good as Fengtian. Thanks to Xiao Zhang's efforts, Fengtian has achieved financial stability and economic prosperity, with agricultural production increasing year after year and industrial strength doubling. He has considerable experience in making personal money, but his ability to control finances is still quite lacking. As a result, Jilin's money law was in chaos and people were panicked. Zhang Zuolin once again had his pigtails in his hands.
Zhang Zuolin took the opportunity to send a telegram to Xu Shichang, the president of the Beijing government, in the name of the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces, accusing Meng Enyuan of mishandling Jilin's finances, abusing military expenditures, and watching the nuisance caused by barbarian bandits, and requested that Meng Enyuan be dealt with. At the same time, he also mobilized social forces to instigate the anti-Bangladesh forces in Jilin to take action.
Jilin Provincial Senator Yu Guiliang was the vanguard of Zhang Zuolin, who first impeached Meng Enyuan for causing military harm to the people; Jilin businessman He Shouren accused Meng Enyuan of eight major crimes as a "citizen". Based on this, Zhang Zuolin sent a representative to Beijing to petition, demanding that Meng Enyuan be removed from office and investigated. He confessed to the Beijing government: "I, Mr. Zhang, have no personal grudge against Meng Enyuan. I am just conveying the opinions of Jilin citizens to the central government." Expressed determination to eliminate Meng Enyuan.
At that time, Zhang Zuolin's power in the Northeast was getting stronger. In order to win over Zhang Zuolin, the Beijing government had no choice but to prepare to remove Meng Enyuan from office, although he was also defending, pointing out that this was Zhang Zuolin's conspiracy.
But the counselors of the Anhui Clique are worried that once this giant completely takes over the three eastern provinces, there will be no force in the north that can restrain its growth, and it will be a huge threat to the Anhui Clique. So he expressed to Zhang Zuolin in the name of President Xu Shichang: If he appoints his close confidant Sun Liechen as the governor of Jilin according to his request, he will be strongly resented by the soldiers and civilians of Jilin, or it will cause new troubles. Therefore, the Beijing government had no choice but to make a compromise and planned to transfer Bao Guiqing, who was relatively weak in the Feng clan, to Jilin, and arrange Sun Liechen to Jiang Province.
This purpose is to isolate the connection between Feng and Hei provinces, use the opportunity to cultivate new local forces to split the Feng clique, and use Bao's power to contain the development of the Feng clique. The idea is good, but it is too idealistic - Zhang Zuolin was able to lead troops in Fengtian to "protect" Bao Guiqing when he took office, overwhelming Xu Lanzhou, Yingshun, Ba Ying'e and other powerful factions. Now that he is so powerful, he will be restrained by Bao Guiqing. ? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 298 Cold Shot

Bao Guiqing was originally the governor of the Black Province, and he also wanted to do something when he took office. However, because Heilongjiang Province is not as close as Jilin and Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin was beyond his reach. Because he was worried about his rise to power, he took measures to suppress everything: He was prevented from taking up the post of provincial governor, which made him lame. The 1st Division and the 29th Division were firmly in his hands, leaving him unable to do anything.
Replace Bao Guiqing as the governor of Jilin, and let the highly respected and loyal Sun Liechen be the governor of the Black Province. In this way, Bao Guiqing, who is sandwiched between the two provinces, will naturally be easier to control than if he lives in a corner. Moreover, Bao Guiqing, who parachuted into Jilin with his bare hands, certainly had no way of restricting Zhang Zuolin. Lao Zhang could take him out at any time if he wanted to. If he wanted to touch Bao Guiqing, he could squeeze him to death at any time.
So Zhang Zuolin readily agreed to this decision. It is enough for Fengtian to have Zhang Hanqing. After Sun Liechen joins the post, Heizhou can truly become Fengtian's rear area!
However, after Meng Enyuan received the order to be dismissed, he was very angry and determined to refuse the order of the Beijing government. He had heard some rumors before and sent his secretary Dai Yizhen to Beijing President Feng Guozhang to inquire about the truth. Feng said there was no such thing and advised Meng not to listen to the rumors. But soon the rumors became reality. How could Meng Enyuan not be furious after receiving the order? He sent a telegram to inquire about the reasons for the cabinet transfer and was given three days to reply, otherwise Jilin would declare its independence.
Meng Enyuan is from Zhili, and his in-law Lu Jianzhang is also from Zhili. Most of Meng's troops are soldiers from Zhili. Due to the death of Lu Jianzhang, the Zhili clique was quite wary and dissatisfied with the Anhui clique. As a result, the transfer of the Jilin military governor implicated the struggle between the Zhili clique and the Anhui clique, and the scale of the incident became much larger. In order to show his toughness, Meng Enyuan sent Pei Qixun, commander of the Jilin Mixed Brigade, as the commander-in-chief of the Independence Army, and ordered various groups in Jilin to call the Beijing government to withdraw Yi Governor's appointment.
Under this situation, the Beijing government sent Xue Songnian to Changchun to persuade Meng Enyuan not to resist and promised to appoint him to another post after he returned to Beijing. Zhang Zuolin also sent people to win over Meng Enyuan's capable general Gao Shibi and expressed his willingness to accept him as his disciple. People were driven out in the future.
Meng Enyuan was ready to leave Jilin for Beijing, but Gao Shibi and others disagreed, and encouraged Meng Enyuan to issue a declaration of independence and confront Zhang Zuolin with force. Meng Enyuan was originally very nostalgic for the position of Jilin Governor, but at the instigation of Gao Shibi, he wavered again. He mistakenly believed that this dismissal was due to Zhang Zuolin's mischief rather than the original intention of the Beijing government. If troops were sent to confront Fengjun, creating a tense and imminent situation, the government might not be able to bear the loss of life and withdraw the order again just like last time. Order of removal.
Meng Enyuan is preparing to deploy all Jilin troops in various strategic locations at the junction of Jilin and Fenghuang provinces, and declares that Jilin will be independent. Little did he know that this would create an opportunity for Zhang Zuolin to intervene with force. On the one hand, Zhang Zuolin requested the Beijing government to issue an order to attack Jilin; on the other hand, he mobilized a large army and divided it into five groups, preparing to annihilate the Jilin army in one fell swoop.
Zhang Jinghui led the 16th Division through Qingyuan and approached the mouth of Meihe River.
After Ji Jinchun led the reorganization, Feng Delin's original 28th Division passed through Sanhekou and pointed directly at Shuangliao.
Wu Junsheng led 29 divisions from Xifeng to approach Liaoyuan.
Sun Liechen, another close confidant of Zhang Zuolin, led the elite 27th Division from Changtu to approach Siping.
In addition, Bao Guiqing, the governor of Heilongjiang, ordered Han Linchun's 1st Division to threaten Jilin's back from east to west.
Troops are approaching!
President Xu Shichang was unwilling to have a war between Feng and Jilin, so he sent someone to Jilin with a letter to persuade Meng Enyuan to resign as soon as possible. At the same time, he asked Zhang Xun to write a letter to Meng Enyuan in his own name, urging him to resign and go to Beijing. But Meng Enyuan could no longer listen to any advice at this time, and insisted on fighting Zhang Zuolin to the death!
When the Jilin and Fengxi armies were locked in a stalemate, the "Kuanchengzi Incident" occurred in Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province, and the Japanese unintentionally did Zhang Zuolin a big favor. But how did this incident happen, and why did an incident that was obviously detrimental to Zhang Zuolin's opponent happen exactly at the critical moment of the confrontation between the two armies? The subsequent history of the Republic of China was ambiguous.
But when someone looked through the secret files of the "Fengtian Special Operations Brigade", the predecessor of China's special forces, they unexpectedly discovered that there were records of fierce battles against Japan during that period. As we all know, the special operations brigade has been busy training since its establishment, and the first official operation announced was two years later.
Kuanchengzi is located in the northeast of Changchun City. At that time, a regiment of the Jilin Army was stationed in the north of Kuanchengzi, prohibiting pedestrians from passing through. The east is the territory of the Russians. The troops stationed in Ji Province are not allowed to leave the country, but the troops from the Black Province can come and go freely here, so they have to guard against it.
At that time, the South Manchuria Railway was in the hands of the Japanese. A Japanese employee at the Changchun Station named Funatsu used his identity as a Japanese to run rampant in the local area, acting as if there was no one around.This was also a portrayal of the weak China at that time.
One day, a Chinese friend of Funatsu entrusted him with delivering a batch of items that were urgently needed for people's livelihood and needed to pass through the camp of Meng Enyuan's troops. In the past, of course, Funazu has done it many times and made a lot of profits from it, but when the army pressed the country, he became a little sensitive.
His friend also felt that it seemed a bit difficult to handle, so he said with some embarrassment: "Funazu-kun, if this matter is difficult, I will find another way. If there is a conflict with the local garrison, it will be difficult to explain it to the higher ups."
If it were just the previous sentence, Funatsu might just let it go. After all, he was just a small employee and didn't want to cause trouble. As for friends, they are just a springboard for him to make money, and the Chinese who want him are gone. But the last sentence will seriously damage the face of the Locust Army of the Japanese Empire - the Chinese army dares to challenge the Locust Army? Funatsu arrogantly patted his chest and said, "No problem. The Nanman Line is the lifeline of the empire in the northeast. Let's see who dares to block the path of our locust army." However, he did not see the cunning flash in his friend's eyes. .
Someone really blocked his way.
With the enemy at hand, the Jilin Army's troops in Kuanchengzi have been under martial law, so Chuanjin and his party will of course act according to the order. Chuanjin was so angry that he ignored the obstruction of the sentry and forced his way through the Jilin garrison camp.
Of course the sentinel disagrees with the responsibility. Seeing that the conversation between the two parties was getting more and more tense, at some point, Funatsu's friend pushed the sentry. The sentry was also a hot-tempered man and was afraid of the Japanese soldiers. But if an unarmed Japanese employee dared to be so violent, that was another matter. Naturally, a fight ensued after the two sides disagreed, and Funatsu, who was alone, was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
Of course, after being beaten, Funatsu couldn't let it go. He ran back to the Japanese barracks at Kuanchengzi Station with his bow-legged legs to move reinforcements. It's amazing that people in the Northeast are bullying citizens of the Japanese Empire! A large number of Japanese troops rushed to the scene immediately.
In the past, with this kind of momentum, there was no need to take action in China. The other party would naturally take advantage of it, and the Japanese soldiers thought so too. Some of their military uniforms were not buttoned up, their rifles were still on their shoulders, and they were trying to show off their power and look for trouble. According to experience, as long as the trouble gets serious, the other party will naturally grovel and say nice things, and will obediently hand over the person involved to settle the matter.
But this time it was wrong.
Before they could question them, the other party didn't even give them a chance to speak. They fired bullets directly into the vital points. This group of Japanese soldiers never expected that such a thing would happen. Some of them were killed inexplicably because their bullets were not loaded.
Although the incident occurred suddenly, the well-trained characteristics of the Japanese soldiers were immediately apparent. As the leading sergeant shouted "Gah gah gah", the Japanese soldiers immediately fought back. The two sides fought back and forth, and a fierce battle began instantly.
??It should be said that the tactical literacy of the Kuanchengzi garrison and the Japanese soldiers are really not on the same level, but they were calculated mentally and unintentionally. The Japanese soldiers were just looking for a place and did not carry heavy weapons. Besides, after the gun battle started, the Jilin garrison, which shared the same hatred of the enemy, quickly reinforced the enemy. In the hands of the garrison, which had the first-mover advantage due to its large numbers, the Japanese soldiers had no advantage. In the melee, 18 Japanese soldiers were killed and 17 injured, while 15 Jilin soldiers were killed and 14 injured.
How did this inexplicable battle start? There have been differing opinions. According to the recollections of General Zhang Chengde, who was later incorporated into the Fengjun Army and served as the commander of the military region in the highest position, he was appointed as the battalion commander of the Jilin Kuanchengzi Garrison Regiment. Before the battle, the armies of both sides had no time to send personnel to contact. Suddenly, several soldiers appeared from the side of our side. A stranger wearing the same military uniform as his own fired several shots at the Japanese side, killing several Japanese soldiers and causing a confrontation between the Japanese army. After the Japanese army retaliated, he ordered self-defense out of anger. The Japanese army retreated because they were outnumbered. But when we looked for these strange "friendly troops" again, they came from nowhere and disappeared like ghosts.
The battle log of the Japanese Army Major Takeo Tateta also confirmed that it was not the Jilin defenders on the opposite side who fired the first shot, but another enemy force that seemed to be reinforcements (mistakenly thought at the time) to preemptively strike. Due to the chaos of the scene, no one cared whether this group of people belonged to the Jilin garrison, because their uniforms were exactly the same. No matter who it is, this is absolutely not allowed in Northeast China and even China under Japanese rule! This is a blatant provocation to the Japanese Empire, which is intolerable!
After the "Kuanchengzi Incident" occurred, Japan mobilized a large number of troops from Gongzhuling and other places to exert military pressure on China. It is required that all the Jilin garrison in Changchun be withdrawn fifteen kilometers away. At that time, Changchun was an important stronghold and strategic location for the Kyrgyz Army to fight against Zhang Zuolin. This destroyed the original military layout of the Kyrgyz Army and broke the military checks and balances between Kyrgyzstan and Fengcheng.
After Meng Enyuan heard the news, his hands trembled and his eyes turned white. He just muttered to himself: "Who did it? Who did it coldly?"
After the Beijing government received the news of the "Kuanchengzi Incident", they were terrified. For the officials of the Central Court who were determined to survive in troubled times, it was a consistent policy that they would rather offend their domestic slaves than "friendly countries". In order to prevent the incident from escalating into a large-scale military conflict, an order was issued to severely reprimand Meng Enyuan and order Gao Shixiu to be dismissed from his post.
You could still act coyly before, but now that the Central Committee is really angry, do you still dare to resist the military front? If losses are caused to the country and the perpetrators die, who can bear this responsibility?
This is also a true portrayal of the diplomacy of a weak country.

Seeing that the situation was over, the Jilin army had no choice but to stop and seek peace. Seven days later, Meng Enyuan called Zhang Zuolin and expressed his willingness to step down. Due to the heat, his throat was so swollen that it was difficult to speak, and he had to find someone to speak for him.
Zhang Zuolin told the messenger on the phone: "I personally have no objection. Everything is an order from Beijing. I have no choice. Please tell Meng that it will not work if he does not retreat!"
In the early morning of the 16th, with tears in his eyes, Meng Enyuan handed the seal of the Jilin Governor to Bao Guiqing, who was ordered to replace him.
At this point, with Sun Liechen controlling Heilongjiang Province, Bao Guiqing controlling Jilin Province, and Fengtian Province having already been personally in charge, Zhang Zuolin finally completed his hegemony of unifying the three northeastern provinces and became a veritable "King of the Northeast."
"Political power comes from the barrel of a gun, especially in troubled times." However, Zhang Hanqing was happy to have Bao Guiqing, a "Jiang Qian", with him. He often reminded Nai's father to "respect" this important minister of the emperor on more occasions. This would give Duan Qirui the illusion that Bao Guiqing was useful in the Northeast. Being able to constrain Zhang Zuolin's actions, in this way, the political and economic reforms in Northeast China that he will soon carry out will have less pressure and taboos from the central government.
As for the extended secrets in the "Kuanchengzi Incident", only Zhang Hanqing and a few others know that it is a drama that was directed and acted by Zhang Hanqing. The protagonist of the execution was the "Special Operations Brigade" that became famous later. Funai's friend was also arranged by the special operations brigade. However, using the Japanese to attack political opponents is not a glorious thing after all. The protagonists of the incident invariably chose to remain silent, causing this incident to be lost in the long river of history like so many stories.
In any case, the "Kuanchengzi Incident" suddenly came like a spring breeze overnight, making the situation after that "thousands of pear trees bloom", allowing Fengjun to capture Jilin almost without any blood, and also made Zhang Zuolin's response to the "Special Operations Brigade" The effect is impressive. As the first captain and military training director who was most appreciated by Zhang Hanqing, Ji Yiqiao truly entered Zhang Zuolin's field of vision.
Jilin Yidu, including the provincial governor and the general counselor of his military governor's office, has more than a dozen important vacancies up and down, which is inevitable to make people jealous. Bao Guiqing was already Lao Zhang's subordinate, so naturally he only followed Lao Zhang in the allocation of officials. And this time Sun Liechen took over the Heilongjiang Province, the appointment and dismissal of some officials was also justified. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be a wave of cheating, making Lao Zhang's mansion even more lively than usual.
Some people are happy and some are sad. Those who bet correctly are happy, but those who unfortunately make detours are tortured, such as Ding Chao, the General Counselor of the Military Governor's Office when Bao Guiqing served in Heilongjiang Province.
He was highly recommended by Yang Yuting, and he was also Yang’s biggest fan. Now that Yang has lost power, he is very worried that he will be replaced - there are also rumors outside that he is moving up and down to join the commander-in-chief's family. Going through the Marshal's mansion does not mean that he is looking for the Marshal. The Young Marshal also has many customers, so Ding Chao is prepared to do this.
Zhang Hanqing has always been praised for his employment of people. In the eyes of people in Fengtian official circles, he is not nepotistic, but only virtuous. The people he recommended, such as those in politics such as Wang Yongjiang, Mo Dehui, Mi Chunlin, etc., all have proven abilities; in the army, there are even more capable people: Han Linchun, Guo Songling, Wang Yizhe, Ji Yiqiao, Jiang Dengxuan, Lin Wei …all are known as rising stars in the military; figures within the party are not well known to outsiders, but Wu Jiaxiang, Gao Jiyi, and Zhu Guangmu are also young and promising.
The most amazing thing is that the people he recommends are meticulous and loyal to him. It is hard to imagine that with such a short experience in the political and military circles, he can actually know people well and assign them well. Is this really the reincarnation of Bole?
Only Zhang Hanqing knows the truth: the reason why he can recognize people is because he has the light of history. Since they are destined to be outstanding people, why not do your best to give them a boost? Among these people, there are inevitably some who are still unknown at this time. Of course, they have a good impression of Zhang Hanqing for his kindness. In addition, Zhang Hanqing himself has excellent qualities, so it is inevitable to get close to him.
And Zhang Hanqing spared no effort to recommend the people he liked. For example, Han Linchun was the fastest-promoted military official and had already become the commander of a division. He paved the way for Wang Yongjiang in all aspects, making him the second-largest administrative official in the three northeastern provinces after Zhang Zuolin. In many cases, he could already replace the old man. Zhang acts. As for those who are not him, as long as they have the ability, he will use the young marshal's transcendent convenience to give them opportunities. Sometimes, they can turn those who are not heirs into direct heirs, such as Zhang Zuoxiang, who has now become the person with the strongest voice to support the young marshal. The rapid rise of the Young Marshal Department is the result of the combination of the two.
Knowing people well is a kind of ability, being able to cure diseases and save people is a means. Even if he makes a mistake but it's not principled, he won't stick it out until the end. For example, Yang Yuting, who has a certain intersection with him in power control, insiders all know that it was the young marshal who tried to protect his life, otherwiseThe angry Marshal Zhang wanted to kill someone.
Of course, no one knows whether it was Lao Zhang’s behavior, or it may be that Lao Zhang asked Xiao Zhang to show kindness to everyone. However, in the incident of recruiting private soldiers outside the customs, only Yang Yuting was dismissed in the end, and it is true that no one else was affected.
Because Zhang Hanqing knew what his father was thinking: Yang Yuting's role in his rise could not be wiped out with a single sentence. Zhang Zuolin still admired this subordinate who once had a wide range of connections in Fengtian, just because of his private life. He acted carelessly and made him the scapegoat under the circumstances.
But Lao Zhang doesn’t have the habit of getting involved. He doesn’t have any other thoughts about the people he has recommended. Besides, Yang Yuting has recommended so many people. Could it be that just because of him, everything is over? The officialdom in Fengtian will be cleared out!
But Ding Chao doesn’t know, he is too far away from Fengtian. Seeing that many people "progressed" too quickly, especially Sun Liechen, who was originally a brigade commander, then a division commander and then a military commander. At that time, he also wanted to take charge of the army himself. Yang Yuting fooled him into the trap and agreed to serve as a private recruitment brigade outside the customs. brigade commander. Of course, the job was still aborted before it even started, but the Intelligence Bureau still asked for a verbal agreement. He regretted that if he had not gone through the muddy waters outside the customs, he might have made progress in the black province, but he would never have been demoted, and he would not have to be so worried now.
As the governor of Heilongjiang Province, Bao Guiqing went to Ji Province alone, and Sun Liechen took over. As the general counselor when Bao Guiqing took office, Ding Chao suddenly stepped aside. Generally speaking, there are two most caring figures in the Warlord's Office. One is the General Counselor, who plays the role of executive secretary-general and head of the department; the other is the chief of staff, who serves as the spokesperson in the military. Both positions cannot be held by non-confidences, and both are prosperous and destructive.
Because the separation of military and political affairs has become a tradition, there is a high probability that the new governor Sun Liechen will not interfere with the administrative power of Governor Zhang Guogan. In terms of military affairs, since he does not hold the position of division commander part-time, the 29th Division and the 1st Division each have their own masters. They all have a large background, and there is a high probability that he will not reach out. The only ones that will be settled are the relevant positions in the Overseer's Office, which is also one of the main powers of the Overseer.
Thinking about the fact that I have no friendship with Sun Liechen, and if I want to avoid being removed from the outside world, it is important to strike first. After much thought, he decided that it was not necessarily appropriate to follow Zhang Zuolin's path, because they had not met before; on the contrary, the young marshal, well, they had communicated in Tianjin for a period of time, which might be useful.
There are not many people in Heilongjiang Province who can talk to Zhang Hanqing. I heard that Zhai Wenxuan, the former governor, was recommended by him, but he has only a moderate relationship with me. I could talk to former governor Bao Guiqing, but it would probably be useless, otherwise I would have no reason not to go to Jilin with him to take up a post. After thinking about it, he remembered someone: Zhang Shoufang!
Zhang Shoufang is the sister of Zhang Hanqing (the real Zhang Xueliang). She married Bao Yucai, Bao Guiqing's son. This is how Zhang and Bao's family relationship came about. Although Bao Guiqing should be powerless in his own affairs, as long as Zhang Shoufang is willing to speak for him, nothing will be a problem! As the general counselor, I am very familiar with Bao Mansion.
Zhang Zuolin transferred Bao Guiqing from Beijing to Heilongjiang Province in the name of his relatives, and then transferred him to Jidu. It seemed that he took Bao Guiqing seriously, but anyone with a little political savvy can see that this was because he did not want Bao Guiqing to take root in Heilongjiang Province. ah! It’s not surprising when you think about it. Bao Guiqing already has intricate connections in the Northeast and has served in the Central Committee for a long time. If he is allowed to live in one place for a long time, especially in the Black Province, which is out of reach, there will inevitably be opportunities for him to become powerful. Zhang Hanqing transferred him to Jilin when his butt was still hot, and he took office alone, with good intentions.
Zhang Shoufang was very dissatisfied with this. On one side is the father, on the other side is the father-in-law, they are all relatives, why should we be on guard like enemies? No matter how bad the father-in-law is, he is definitely no better than Sun Liechen and other outsiders. Why did his father announce that after Sun Liechen took office, the official positions in Heilongjiang Province would be arranged by Sun, but after the father-in-law took office, the official positions in Ji Province were still in the hands of Fengtian? Even her husband was a little dissatisfied with this. If it weren't for Zhang Zuolin's great power, he wouldn't have dared to say whether they could be a couple!
So after hearing Ding Chao's concerns, Zhang Shoufang's long-held resentment burst out.
"You are my father-in-law's, and they dare to touch you?"
"Have you ever looked for Han Qing?"
The first sentence did not require an answer, because it was her angry words; the latter sentence Ding Chao didn't know how to answer, he could only say: "If the commander decides, the young commander won't be able to talk to him, right? Besides, the young commander and I will We can’t talk about friendship with Shuai yet, will it work?”
"Why is it so hard to talk to him? He can even recommend (Zhai Wenxuan) to the provincial governor! You have no friendship with him. I brought him up. Do you still care if I come forward?"
"But why did you follow Yang Yuting to do this? Is the General Counselor of the Black Province not as strong as a brigade commander?"
Ding Chao was very embarrassed: "I was obsessed for a moment"
"Okay, don't talk anymore! I will be responsible for making peace with you regarding my brother's matter, and you can just be your general counselor with peace of mind."
Ding Chao had chosen the right disciple. When Zhang Shoufang got angry, he went to Fengtian to explain things to Zhang Zuolin. She has a bad temper, even Zhang Zuolin is afraid of her. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)say no more!

Chapter 300 Family Love

Not surprising, speaking of which, there is a public case here.
After Zhang Zuolin’s official position became higher and higher, there were more and more women around him. In a rage, his wife Zhao Chungui took Zhang Shoufang, Zhang Xueliang, and Zhang Xueming back to their old house. Zhao Chungui was critically ill due to overwork. Zhang Shoufang sent a telegram to Zhang Zuolin while taking care of his mother, but Zhang Zuolin thought that the two of them were working together to deceive him and ignored him. In this way, Zhao Chungui failed to see Zhang Zuolin for the last time, which made him feel guilty.
Therefore, Zhang Shoufang was very resentful towards her father, especially when she arrived at the Marshal's Mansion from her hometown and saw her concubine wearing gold and silver, she felt even more angry. And Lao Zhang knew that he was in the wrong, so he was afraid of seeing his daughter, so that the whole government gave in to her. Once, Zhang Xueliang ran away from his husband in a naughty manner and was beaten by Zhang Zuolin. When Zhang Shoufang found out, he said to Zhang Zuolin: "If you want to beat Xiaoliuzi again, I will smash your head!"
After Zhang Zuolin was promoted to governor and governor of Fengtian, under the pressure of Feng Delin, in order to secure his position, he married Bao Guiqing. However, her husband was a playboy and she had a hot temper, so their married life was not happy. If it weren't for Zhang Zuolin's increasingly hardened status, it's still unclear whether the couple's relationship could continue. According to official history, after Lao Zhang died, Bao Yucai directly married his younger wife, causing her status in the Bao family to plummet, and she had no choice but to defect to his younger brother Zhang Xueliang.
Thinking of the past life and the present, Zhang Shoufang was furious. She didn't care how Ding Chao would be ostracized, but her father's treatment of a close associate of the Bao family (maybe it could be attributed to this) made her feel that she had to do something. Has he ever thought about how she would gain a foothold in the Bao family?
Ding Chao was initially worried that Zhang Shoufang would fall out with Zhang Zuolin in anger, and he would suffer even more if Zhang Zuolin got angry. But he underestimated Zhang Shoufang's wisdom. Although she didn't read much, she knew enough was enough. Although her father felt guilty about her, it was always a taboo in the Zhang family for women to interfere in politics. You can use this incident to complain, but it is very difficult to change Zhang Zuolin's decision. But since she dared to deal with this matter, she was somewhat sure.
As a member of the Zhang family, she knew how much her father valued her eldest brother. After Xiaoliuzi went to Beijing, his whole spirit changed. Not only was his naughty and mischievous behavior (should be said to be a dandy habit, which is not what a sister feels like) completely gone, but he also did many manly things. event. Not to mention his broad vision and outstanding abilities, he is even better than his father in terms of scheming. The country's general situation is comprehensive and military and political matters are handled with ease. Lao Zhang's achievement in such a short period of time is mostly due to Nai Di - these are his father's original words.
So much so that Lao Zhang even delegated power to Zhang Hanqing and asked him to recommend the governor of the Black Province to allow the People's Party to expand there; in order to protect him, he also placed his first division there.
When Yang Yuting left the Central Committee and Sun Liechen took charge of the Black Province, Zhang Hanqing's influence on Zhang Zuolin became even greater. As far as she knew, Zhang Zuolin always asked Zhang Hanqing's ideas about personnel arrangements in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces. This time when Zhang Shoufang returned to her parents' home, she planned to learn everything from Zhang Hanqing first. As long as Zhang Hanqing is persuaded, Zhang Zuolin is basically half successful.
The relationship between Zhang Shoufang and Zhang Xueliang was of course extraordinary. She said to Zhang Hanqing bluntly: "Sixth son, you have the best relationship with Uncle Sun. Can you give him a message and see if you can give Ding Chao a way to survive? He After all, he was once a person that my father-in-law could use, but now the tea has gone cold as soon as he left! This is too bullying!"
Zhang Hanqing also has great respect for this eldest sister. Although her cultural level is not high and the eldest lady has a bad temper, her love for her siblings is sincere. As a person who has traveled through time, Zhang Hanqing is very disgusted with that kind of political marriage, and sympathizes with the eldest sister's experience.
Historically, Zhang Shoufang's life was very unfortunate after she lost contact with Zhang Xueliang again. After liberation, she spent her old age peacefully with government funding. Even more unfortunate than her were her two other half-sisters, Zhang Huaiying and Zhang Huaiqing, who were both married politically. Victim: The former married Prince Bao Bu of Darhan of Mongolia when he was a teenager. He was born with dementia; the latter married Zhang Mengchao, the son of Zhang Xun, a handsome man. He has severe mental illness. When he gets sick, he first treats the people around him. He was punched and kicked, and then fell unconscious with foaming at the mouth.
Although I have nothing to do with them in a strict sense, this physical relationship is inseparable. Moreover, as far as his goals are concerned, the strength of the country and the happiness of the people are mutually reinforcing. It is not Zhang Hanqing's style to watch these bloody tragedies happen before his eyes. Every time he looked at his younger sisters, he secretly swore in his heart: He would never let this scene happen again! He is determined to influence their destiny through his own efforts.
He understands the eldest sister’s situation and cannot change the fact of marriage, but he does his best to make her??A decent life is possible. It turned out that Zhang Zuolin used Bao Guiqing to achieve his goal of controlling Heilongjiang and Jilin, and it was indeed with the intention of burning bridges afterwards. A great baptism of officialdom in the military circles of Jilin and Heilongjiang was inevitable. However, Zhang Hanqing opposed drastic changes in personnel on the grounds that "Jilin has just gained power, and Northeast China needs to develop its economy at a fast pace. The overall situation is based on stability, which is certainly not suitable for making big moves in personnel matters."
He will do this both in public and private matters. On the surface, it is his duty to stabilize the political situation in Northeast China; privately, he has no one available for the time being. But he can't let go of the vacant positions. The general principle of employment is to either use them for my use, or keep the positions for me. Therefore, the personnel changes in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces have not been implemented, which gave the subordinates the urge to leave the commander's office.
Now that Zhang Shoufang asked about Ding Chao, he was suddenly inspired: the private army incident outside the customs can be put to good use!
"Sister, if you don't tell me, I will take care of Governor Bao's face! Let me tell you, anyone who Governor Bao has used in Heilongjiang Province will stay as long as they make no mistakes. I will say hello to Uncle Sun about this. As for General Counselor Ding, I had an encounter with him in Tianjin. This man is very good. Although he has been bewitched by Yang Yuting, he has abilities and is a useful talent. Tell him to let him stay in Fengtian for the time being until I talk to my father. I will give him a future in the future - I will try my best to protect him!" Zhang Hanqing said sincerely.
“It’s not that he is boasting, he is absolutely sure that Ding Chao will stay in office. Leaving aside his relationship with Sun Liechen, we can know from the fact that Zhang Zuolin did not remove Ding Chao from his post after the last incident that Lao Zhang did not want to start a big fight. Otherwise, ten Ding Chaos will have no chance.
Ding Chao is capable, but he can't be said to be Yang Yuting's die-hard loyalist. As a soldier, it was not wrong to want to take charge of the army directly for a while. Later, Yang Yuting also admitted that it was his private command to win over Yu Zhen and Ding Chao. If we try to ensure that he is fine during his difficult times - this is completely possible, which is equivalent to adding an insurance policy to the People's Party in the Black Province.
With the addition of the First Division and the General Counselor of the Warlord's Office, and Sun Liechen in charge, the development of the People's Party in Black Province will only be further promoted. In Fengtian, because of the intricate relationship between the old and Fengtian families, it is extremely difficult for the Kuomintang to achieve success. However, because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the Heilongjiang Province will develop very smoothly due to fate. Half of the current People's Party members are from Black Province, and the most complete organizational structure at all levels is also in Black Province.
Seeing Zhang Hanqing’s guarantee, Zhang Shoufang’s heart dropped to her stomach. It's not that she has a deep friendship with Ding Chao, she's just making use of the topic. Now that the matter is settled, he is worried about whether this will affect Zhang Hanqing's major events. She asked slightly worriedly: "I know that Yang Yuting has a dispute with you in Fengtian. Will Ding Chao affect you later? Don't believe him just because I speak for him. If he is really not what you want, you have to directly Talk to me!"
Zhang Hanqing couldn't laugh or cry. It's you who intercedes for him, and it's you who worry about him. But he felt the strong brother-sister affection. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water, so this is probably something that cannot be let go, right?
"Don't worry, I'm right about him. Besides, Ding Chao can't stir up a big stir. If he really dares to go against me, I can kill him in minutes!" Zhang Hanqing said shamelessly.
"Dese!" He was greeted by Zhang Shoufang's merciless eye roll: "I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense - you can talk to Ding Chao when you have time, and I'll go chat with Feng Zhi."
Zhang Shoufang is also from an official family, and he knows how to be kind to others. She accepted that Ding Chao's gratitude was of little use, and it only made sense to let her eldest brother do the favors. Now that she already has face, she doesn't mind letting Zhang Hanqing gain it.
The moment Zhang Shoufang left the meeting hall and stepped into the backyard, Lao Zhang appeared. He pouted and asked Zhang Hanqing: "Why is that girl coming here so aggressively?" He had already been hiding aside to watch the excitement. From the moment Zhang Shoufang stepped into the handsome man's house angrily, Lao Zhang knew something was wrong. After all, his family knew very well what he had done to his daughter's father-in-law, Bao Guiqing.
Zhang Hanqing didn't care. Now in official matters, there is no half-way separation between father and son. He briefly mentioned Ding Chao's matter.
Zhang Zuolin slapped his thigh: "You dare to use this kid if you want to eat him up? How can you get far away without being downgraded three levels in a row! Well, you agreed?"
Zhang Hanqing said with a wry smile: "Can I refuse to agree? But General Counselor Ding also talks about it, but he didn't act like a weasel and make a fuss - that thing was all caused by Yang Yuting. Besides, I also think he It’s also a useful material.”
Zhang Zuolin squinted and nodded and said, "Well, it's up to you to decide. But you should talk to him about this yourself." Yes, Lao Zhang also asked himself to give favors.
With Lao Zhang’s instruction, the following things will be much easier to handle. Zhang Hanqing finally took the time to find Ding Chao and have a good talk with him about the situation in the Black Province and his arrangements. He said calmly: "The matter with General Counselor Yang is over. He is him and you are you. Don't bear the burden of this. Although you were recommended by him, it cannot be said that because of this, you are his. People's hearts It would be much easier if it were easy to distinguish like this. My father still trusts you and has never thought of replacing you. Not only you, most of the officials in the Black Province will remain in their old positions and there will be no major changes."
Those words made Ding Chao's heart drop into his stomach, and at the same time, Zhang Hanqing's shadow in the black province became even more towering. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??He said calmly: "The matter of General Counselor Yang is over. He is him and you are you. Don't bear the burden of this.

Later, the personnel arrangements in Heilongjiang and Kyrgyzstan gradually became clear, and there was news that there was no plan to change the administration.
Sure enough, Yuan Jinkai, who was the most popular candidate for the governor of Jilin Province, still served as his secretary-general. Yuan Jinkai was Zhang Zuolin's senior staff before, and later served as the Secretary-General of the Fengtian Provincial Government. He and the General Councilor were the two arms of Fengtian's military and government, and they had a high status; another popular candidate, Jin Xihou, was recommended by Zhang Zuolin to be the Beiyang Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. The deputy chief went to serve in the Central Committee. Jin Xihou was once the prefect of Xinmin Prefecture and was Zhang Hanqing's mentor. If they don't move, others will give up.
Of course, as part of the integration, some Fengtian officials still took over some important positions: Song Wenyu, Wang Yongjiang's important deputy when he was the director of Fengtian Police Department, was transferred to be the police director of Heilongjiang Province and the chief of the provincial capital police; Zhang Zhenjiu took over as the director of the Department of Finance, and Lu Ronghuan, who was quite capable in running railways, became the director of the Department of Transportation. Zhang and Lu were both recommended by the marshal, and they were regarded as Zhang Hanqing's arms in the Black Province.
Jilin is brand new: Bao Guiqing, the military governor, and Mo Dehui, the secretary-general of the military governor’s office. Needless to say, Mo Dehui was the Marshal's man. At this time, Mo Dehui was also by-elected as a member of the Central Committee of the People's Party and Secretary of the Jilin Provincial Committee——with the official position of Secretary-General, which was very important for the expansion of the People's Party in Jilin. The provincial influence is very beneficial.
Since Wang Yizhe served as the director of the General Political Department of the First Division in Black Province, it is somewhat unreasonable to concurrently serve as the organization director of the People's Party. Just as Heilongjiang Province was preparing to establish a party headquarters, Zhang Hanqing decided to appoint him as Secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee. When his organizational director was vacant, Jiang Dengxuan, director of the Political Department of the Guards Division who was stationed in Fengtian, served concurrently.
Regarding the issue of Jiang Dengxuan's insufficient qualifications within the party - he is still a probationary member. Although Zhang Hanqing set the inspection period at three months in order to recruit more party members, he still did not have enough time - but Zhang Hanqing believes: Jiang Dengxuan is The qualified director of the Political Department of the Guard Division is responsible for the security of the Party Central Committee and the effective political work of the entire division. He is qualified to serve as the Organization Minister.
The most dazzling one is Wang Yongjiang, the governor of Fengtian. Zhang Hanqing, a Central Committee member of the same age as the party who has an eye for talents and values ??talents, is well-deserved to serve as the most valuable secretary of the Fengtian Provincial Committee. He is also the person with the highest position among the three provincial committee secretaries of the People's Party. Since Zhang Hanqing had promised Fengtian senior officials not to "seize power" in the three northeastern provinces, his position would be huge in enhancing the People's Party's influence in the northeast.
As for the candidate for the governor of Jilin, Zhang Zuolin was worried, and Zhang Hanqing also said he was helpless: the Marshal Department had taken many benefits in this series of personnel changes, and he could no longer extend his hand, otherwise he would be criticized by the public. Moreover, in terms of qualifications and influence, he has no new candidates to utilize.
Zhang Zuolin is also short of men. Now he feels that although there are many talents under his command, there are really not many who are really useful. If a group of warriors who conquered the world with him become the provincial governor, they will only be Zhang Zuolin's second best, which is of no benefit; among the civil servants, there are very few capable and influential Liao Liao. After much deliberation, the only one available was Liu Shangqing, the general office of the official bank accounts and director of the Finance and Economics Committee of the three eastern provinces - another figure favored by the young marshals! He joined the party on the same day as Mo Dehui and Wang Yongjiang. Old Liu and the young marshal have a very good personal relationship, and it can be said that they have been friends for many years.
Liu Shangqing has been transferred, and his remaining candidates need to be considered. Now, Zhang Hanqing spoke again: "Father, Mr. Zhang is available for inspection."
He was talking about Zhang Huilin, who was the chief inspector of official banks in the three eastern provinces at the time and the president of the Fengtian Savings Association. He was a colleague of Liu Shangqing. If it weren't for his supervisory relationship with Lao Liu, he would be the deputy director of the Finance and Economics Committee. His characteristic is that he is delicate and upright, otherwise Lao Zhang would not have let him be the printing supervisor for several years! He was also Lao Zhang's early personal secretary, and there was no problem with his loyalty.
Zhang Zuolin nodded with satisfaction: "Zhiliang is available." Somehow, this beloved son's words always spoke to his heart. It can be seen that he has put a lot of effort into the configuration of these candidates. However, being able to combine public and private matters in this way shows off one's skills, and Lao Zhang has no objection to this.
There was only one person whom Zhang Zuolin felt very sorry for, and that was his ally Zhang Zuoxiang.
For many years, when Sun Liechen, who was equal to Zhang Zuoxiang, was the brigade commander, he was the commander of the artillery regiment; when Sun Liechen became the division commander, he was the brigade commander; now that Sun Liechen has gone out to serve as a governor of a prince, he is still just a staff officer of the Fengtian Military Governor's Office. Long, in name only under the existing military structure. If Zhang Hanqing hadn't been really sorry and managed to make him vice chairman of the People's Party's Military Commission, he would have been overshadowed by the rising star Han Linchun. Now, even Zhang Jinghui has become a division commander, and Zhang Zuoxiang still serves as his chief of staff of the Fengtian Military Governor's Office. Fortunately, he also serves as the education director of the Jiangwu Hall, and finally he has a group of junior officers as his students.
Zhang Zuoxiang didn't care about this. In fact, Zhang Zuolin had already appointed him as the new commander of the 16th Division in Beijing, but he refused.?. He said to Zhang Zuolin: "Brother Xuwu (Zhang Jinghui) has been with the commander for a long time, so let him take this position. Let others see that there is a future for following the commander." Now, Zhang Zuolin also refers to many candidates. He accepted his opinion, but did not leave a place for himself.
As soon as Zhang Zuolin mentioned it, Zhang Zuoxiang said: "The three eastern provinces have just come under the command of the commander-in-chief, and people are calm. These positions are still reserved for them. Firstly, they are indeed capable; secondly, they are all working for the elder brother. We old brothers As long as I can help, I will do it, no matter what my position is, it doesn’t matter. Besides, hasn’t my eldest brother already appointed me as the commander of Fengtian Security Bureau? The position is already high enough.”
Zhang Zuolin was greatly impressed and felt that Zhang Zuolin was a rare talent. Therefore, after the merger of the Jilin garrison, Sun Liechen was transferred to Jiang Governor. He immediately announced that Zhang Zuoxiang would serve as the chief of general staff of the Fengjun Army and the commander of the 27th Division. The appointment of this position, because the 27th Division was the army where he started, and taking over this position clearly told the top management of Northeast China that Zhang Zuoxiang was not only not unreused, but also was Lao Zhang's indispensable right-hand man.
"Zhang Zuoxiang has been a happy man for many years, and now he has real power. It can be said that all the hardships have come to an end."
It is for this reason that Zhang Hanqing praised Zhang Zuoxiang for his general understanding and consideration of the whole, and respected him even more. This kind of high moral integrity is not a demeanor that only later generations of Communists can possess. From him, Zhang Hanqing saw hope for the growth of the Feng clan.
Everyone lined up and divided their seats, but Zhang Hanqing benefited the most. The military, political, and economic circles all made considerable gains. Judging from Zhang Zuolin's layout, it was obviously to pave the way for him.
The group of people who followed Lao Zhang and Xiao Zhang should be rewarded: not only to win over people's hearts, but also to control them effectively. It's not easy to conquer the world, but it's even harder to defend it. Without a group of people behind you, those in power won't feel at ease, right? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 302 Successor (Part 1)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
In order to support this eldest son, Zhang Zuolin took great pains. From the beginning of the preparations for the Fengtian Martial Arts Hall, he made arrangements for Zhang Hanqing.
Lao Zhang knows: if a person wants to achieve great things, he will definitely not be able to do it alone. He must have someone to help him. These people who help are, in today’s fashionable terms, a team. Entrepreneurship is only possible if you have your own team.
There is such a team around Zhang Zuolin.
He relied on Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen, Zhang Jinghui, Tang Yulin and other close brothers to start his career. These people became the early members and core members of Zhang's team. With the efforts of this "insurance team", relying on a few guns, they came from a remote village to the metropolis of Fengtian, creating a powerful Fengtian clique, of which Zhang Zuolin was the natural leader.
Although Tang Yulin left midway, Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen have become senior officials and have completely become their right-hand men. Even Zhang Jinghui was the mainstay of Fengjun.
But what about Zhang Hanqing? It can be said that he is a pure second-generation rich man who grew up with a golden key in his mouth. There is nothing wrong with calling him a young master. Zhang Zuolin understands that while he is alive, everyone still respects you, Zhang Xueliang, as the eldest son, but when I die, how will they treat you?
Although Zhang Zuolin is only forty-three this year, his sense of urgency is very strong. The expansion of his power was accompanied by danger. Before he became famous, he fought for territory and dueled with others. He was seriously injured but died. He killed his opponent and obtained seven or eight of his opponent's guns. But winning today does not mean that they will not lose tomorrow. The bandits were born in a humble position and have no family background. If they lose, they will lose their heads. "No one in my family died in bed in a serious manner. My father shed tears when he mentioned this." These are Zhang Xueliang's original words in history.
Zhang Zuolin always had a precarious fear in his consciousness, so he spared no effort in cultivating Zhang Hanqing. Especially after becoming a warlord, this idea became even stronger. Zhang Hanqing was able to do so many things smoothly after his debut. Of course, most of it was due to his IQ of two generations, but the credit for Zhang Zuolin's full support cannot be denied.
Zhang Zuolin, who came from the history of the late Qing Dynasty, has his own understanding even though his education is very low. It was the Qing Dynasty's several generations of little emperors that caused the huge empire to collapse. To keep the Zhang family prosperous, the successor must be chosen well and decided early. In addition, people in this era do not have long life expectancy due to living conditions. Although ordinary diseases are no longer a serious problem and hunger is not a problem under the current conditions of the Zhang family, Zhang Zuolin still decided to give him a baby in advance when he had the chance. paving.
If Zhang Hanqing wants to succeed successfully, the first condition is that the successor must have his own team. There are numerous examples of this at home and abroad, both in ancient and modern times. The key to Li Shimin's ability to successfully become a British leader despite the crime of "killing his brother and his father" was the strong support of the eighteen bachelors of Tiance Mansion such as Yuchi Gong, Hou Junji, and Li Jing; Cao Pi was able to successfully approach the Han Dynasty after Cao Cao's rebellion. Emperor Xian's abdication relied on his close confidant Hua Xin and a group of old officials who had followed his father's expeditions to the north and south.
There are also negative examples. Ming Taizu did not leave a few capable civil servants and generals for Emperor Jianwen, which led to Zhu Di's army changing hands. Although theoretically they are all descendants of Lao Zhu, the truth is still the same. How come Zhang Zuolin, who has been familiar with the Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang Dynasties, etc. since he was a child, doesn't understand the secret?
"If you have a gun, you will be the grass-headed king." In order for Zhang Hanqing to take over, he must take over the military power, and to take over the military power, he must serve as a soldier. But it is impossible for Zhang Hanqing to be sent as a leading soldier. There is no precedent in Chinese traditional culture. Have you seen any prince or elder brother in history who started out as a soldier? He is already a prince or a county king at a young age. This kind of thing is only possible among Western royal families. For example, Britain's Prince Harry was sent to fight in Afghanistan.
From the Chinese point of view, it is not the same thing to let one's descendants start from the ranks of soldiers, and it is not unprecedented for them to be directly sent to become senior officers. But in a place like Fengjun where seniority is important, the old people who started out in the insurance team would not buy into Zhang Hanqing's account. The best way is to go to a military academy.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????? At that time, the Fengjun army was full of banditry. Although the officers and soldiers were accurate in marksmanship, the army's operations were not about robbing families and homes.
Napoleon said: "Two Mamluks can deal with three French soldiers, but a hundred French cavalry are not afraid of a hundred Mamluks, and a thousand French cavalry can defeat 1,500 Mamluk cavalry." Military operations emphasize organization and discipline, and advances in military technology have led to increasingly complex military organizational structures. Let a group of people drink from big bowls and eat meat in large chunks, with big charactersIf people who don't know a lot go to fight against the troops trained by German and Japanese instructors, isn't that looking for death? Zhang Zuolin's admission of Zhang Hanqing to the military academy can be regarded as preparation for the future growth and development of the Fengtian army and the improvement of the army's combat effectiveness.
Zhang Hanqing’s popularity in the martial arts hall is really not due to Zhang Zuolin’s son. You must know that the Jiangwu Hall recruited all Fengjun company and platoon-level officers at that time. Although the candidates were all literate, mathematics and physics were like sacred books to these people. Zhang Hanqing has had a relatively good cultural foundation since he was a child. Besides, this Zhang Xueliang is not really Zhang Xueliang. The knowledge he has acquired in this era is definitely wider than that of doctors in various subjects. The performance of Jiangwutang is real and there is no illusion.
If the Wushu Hall is the most important first step for Zhang Hanqing to integrate into this era, then the anti-bandit operation against Babu Zabu tailored for him is the beginning of his emergence. The scheming Lao Zhang understands that the key to gaining authority in the army is to be able to fight, be able to fight, and win. If you are a child soldier and have never been on the battlefield, others will not obey you.
Therefore, before his son graduated, Zhang Zuolin selected a regiment's company, platoon, and squad leader from the 27th Division, which had the strongest impact and combat effectiveness, to form a team, forming the backbone of the Guards Brigade and giving it to Zhang Xueliang to suppress the bandits. Do you need such a strong force to wipe out a few bandits? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is killing a chicken with a bull's-eye, guaranteeing only victory but not defeat. Zhang Zuolin had two purposes: first, to build Zhang Hanqing's confidence in fighting, and second, to establish authority in the Feng Army and let the officers and soldiers of the Feng Army know that a tiger father has no dog son.
Of course, Zhang Hanqing’s performance is also eye-catching. Not only is it impressive, but he is also given a different Guard Brigade, which is a different kind of joy. Later, Party building, land reform, and financial rectification were all left to him. Fortunately, he did a good job. Not only did he create a great momentum, but he also had great potential in improving his own strength. This further strengthened his desire to speed up and support him.

Chapter 303 Successor (Part 2)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The last time he was asked to attend the meeting of the military governor, etc., it was to make Zhang Hanqing politically known to all walks of life and show his face in front of prominent figures, so that he would not appear too obtrusive when the time comes.
The Guard Brigade expanded into a division, and his cronies gradually occupied important positions. According to Zhang Hanqing's idea, he wanted to concentrate on carrying out land reform in Fengtian and even the entire Northeast, so he resigned from his position as Guard Division Commander. Zhang Zuolin saw the benefits of land reform and approved of this approach, but he did not agree with Zhang Hanqing's escape from the military circle.
Because he has no official position in politics - the chairmanship of the Land Reform Committee is fictitious, even though the "Fenghei Land Reform Committee" has been upgraded to the "Land Reform Committee of the Three Eastern Provinces". Without the consent and cooperation of the chief executives of each province, nothing can be accomplished. It happened that Yang Yuting committed a crime. With his dazzling performance in the past two years, Zhang Zuolin took the opportunity to promote him to senior counselor, which was regarded as giving him a very powerful political ladder. Strictly speaking, the General Counselor is similar to the combined role of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the Military Commission. Since the Touring Mission does not have a general counselor yet, Zhang Hanqing, a senior counselor, usually acts as the general counselor's affairs, and his importance and authority Sex is no less than that of a provincial governor.
But it is not appropriate to stay away from the army for a long time, even if Zhang Hanqing vowed that although he was absent, he could fully control the Guard Division and the First Division. The military is a special place, and it pays attention to qualifications. No matter how big your position is, it will be useless if the officers and soldiers do not listen to you at critical moments.
Zhang Zuolin himself started out as a leader, and knew that his position as governor was obtained by clinging to the 27th Division, so he has been clinging to the position of division commander since he served as the governor and provincial governor of Fengtian. It was only later that he could no longer work part-time in person, so he handed it over to his confidant Sun Liechen. After Sun Liechen took office as the governor of Heilongjiang Province, he handed over the command to his close confidant Zhang Zuoxiang. This was the limit of power that a military man in that era could delegate.
For example, Cao Kun served as the commander of the elite 3rd Beiyang Division as the commander-in-chief of the Zhili Army, and then handed over the 3rd Division to Wu Peifu, who later held on to this position when he held various positions.
But Zhang Hanqing thinks it’s time for Guo Songling to make a splash. Nominally, he is his teacher; in terms of ability, he is definitely better than himself as a teacher. I am currently busy with the work of building the party, and I have always focused on economic construction and land reform. I really have no time to personally inquire about the specific operations of the Guards Division, even though it is an army started by myself.
Taking a longer-term view, how many teams are there now? If we don't train talents properly, will we be able to rush to the front line when the situation changes? Mao Zedong only used talented people, and he was very relieved to hand over hundreds of thousands of troops to his subordinates. The only way for a leader to do the job of *** well, to focus on the big ones and let go of the small ones, and to look at the situation from a new height is the only way for a leader!
Besides, the Guard Division and the First Division are no longer the Beiyang Army in the traditional sense. They already have the prototype of a new type of army. Although Guo Songling and Han Linchun are the commanders of the same division, their power is much more restricted than other division commanders at the same time. Otherwise, look at how the Political Department is all just doing nothing.
Because logistics was unified under the management of Mi Chunlin, the General Military Supplies Department was established; Zhang Hanqing directly intervened in the work of Wang Yizhe and Jiang Dengxuan, the political department directors of the two divisions, and essentially assumed the role of the general political director. With reference to the military structure of later generations, military and political power and military order power have been quietly separated.
In response to Zhang Hanqing's resignation as division commander, Zhang Zuolin finally compromised. But after thinking hard for a long time, Zhang Zuolin asked Zhang Hanqing to return to Fengtian Martial Arts Hall and take on a new position of "supervision." This is a special position created by Zhang Zuolin in order to allow Zhang Hanqing to participate in the daily management of the lecture hall. Zhang Hanqing happily obeyed this position.
As the name suggests, "supervision" will not deal with daily trivial administrative matters, but it has great power. If we use it as a metaphor, it is roughly the role of the party secretary of a modern school.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the Martial Arts Hall, Zhang Zuolin was responsible for daily affairs, and the director of education was responsible for daily affairs. Later, the deputy director Zhang Yue came and he was in charge of the work. After the two provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang were merged under Lao Zhang's command, the Fengtian Lecture Hall was renamed the Northeast Lecture Hall. Zhang Hanqing became the "supervisor" of all Northeastern student officers!
Since the appointment of Supervisor Xiao Zhang, Zhang Hanqing is basically in charge of major matters in the Wushu Hall. In this way, in terms of his position, Zhang Hanqing has a superior-subordinate relationship with the teachers, and a teacher-student relationship with the students. We often say that the Huangpu Military Academy is the cradle of generals from both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and why is the Northeast Military Academy not the cradle of Fengjun officers? Zhang Hanqing has been in charge of the Northeast Martial Arts Hall for a long time, and he knows the character and talents of teachers and students very well. This is the beginning of a leader's growth and the foundation for a successor to build his own succession team. All this was in Zhang Zuolin's plan.
Later, things developed as Zhang Zuolin expected. With the continuous expansion of the Fengjun Army, a large number of graduates from the Northeast Military AcademyStudents were enriched into all levels of Fengjun troops. In terms of personnel, Zhang Zuolin let Zhang Hanqing take the decision. In this way, Zhang Hanqing accelerated the establishment of his own team based on the instructors and graduates of the Northeast Lecture Hall.
Politically, Fengtian Governor Wang Yongjiang was strongly recommended by Zhang Hanqing and personally came to seek talents and has always supported him. Jilin Governor Liu Shangqing had good relations with Zhang Hanqing. Heilongjiang Governor Zhang Guogan was also recruited by Zhang Hanqing; others like Mo Dehui, Wang Shuhan, Song Wenyu, Peng Xiangting, Wang Ruizhi, etc. are all considered young marshals.
In the military, Guo Songling's Guard Division and Han Linchun's First Division were established and promoted by him. The two units also formed their own systems and could not be interfered with by outsiders. Zhang Zuo, the envoy and chief of staff of the Fengtian Military Governor's Office, obeyed him; he also personally controlled the large-scale intelligence agency "Fengtian Intelligence Bureau" and the always elusive "Special Operations Brigade" that was gradually known among the top officials of the Fengtian clique.
Economically, Fengtian's financial order has become much more stable after that stormy round of rectification. Since Liu Shangqing was transferred from the financial world, the official banks of the three northeastern provinces were also reorganized into the Northeast Bank, which will gradually become the central bank of Northeast China, with Zhang Huilin as the first. President Ren - another one recommended by Zhang Hanqing. In addition, a rising tide lifts all boats, and his deputy is Yu Aozhou.
Yes, as the young marshal's brother-in-law, Yu Aozhou, the general manager of Fengtian Farmers' Capital Credit Cooperative and the chairman and general manager of the Agricultural Bank of China, has rapidly expanded the capital of the two banks during his tenure. It is obvious that he is a good hand in finance. It can be considered a family heirloom. The Zhang family's power has expanded to the three northeastern provinces, and the Yu family's power has also followed. It is already the largest financial institution except Northeast Bank. Let him be promoted to vice president. Although some people have this or that argument, but You can't spit it out. Yu Aozhou is worthy of this position in terms of both qualifications and strength. It is just his relationship that gives Zhang Hanqing a lot more say in the financial world.
After a series of experiences, Zhang Hanqing became a very important figure in the Feng clan, and was somewhat famous even in the country. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 304 Rebound
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
It seems that Jilin already has a high-level decision on the military and political affairs: there are only two mixed brigades in Jilin Province, and now the general is forced to hand over power. With strong troops suppressing the situation, such a small number of troops can not dare to fight against Fengjun, who has five divisions and eight brigades. ? I'm afraid I can collect them even while lying down, so the smug Zhang Zuolin thought.
Zhang Hanqing, who has always had smooth sailing, also believes that as long as a few senior officers are replaced, these two mixed brigades with artillery battalions that are scarce in the Feng army will become a new boost for him on his long journey. Isn't it? The Central Committee is angry, the Japanese are angry, and even their generals are wilted. How many false starts can their subordinates make? Therefore, the old and young marshals did not take it seriously.
But the evolution of things caught everyone by surprise.
First, when the Jilin Second Mixed Brigade was incorporated, it encountered a huge backlash: the original brigade commander was Gao Shibi, who was Meng Enyuan’s nephew. Something happened to Meng, and Gao Shibi was also affected. Strictly speaking, it was because of the "Kuanchengzi Incident" conflict between Gao Shibi's men and the Japanese that Meng Enyuan's incident happened. In this sense, Meng should be the one involved. But it no longer mattered who was who, and Gao Shibi was ordered to leave his post. If they obey orders, their nephews and uncles will be dismissed one after another, and their status in Jilin will plummet.
Historically, Gao Shijie was given a dismissal order and handed over the whole brigade to Zhang Zuolin. At that time, Zhang Zuolin gathered the armies of all parties. The generals just changed their faces. They were still the same people and the troops were still the same troops, but they were just objects of loyalty. Just changed. As soon as there is any trouble, everyone still has the opportunity to change their family, so they hunker down under the pressure.
At this time and space, Zhang Zuolin borrowed many of Zhang Hanqing's methods of controlling the army. All the newly recruited armies were reorganized beyond recognition, but soon they all left Zhang Zuolin's chrome mark. Firstly, the original generals no longer have the opportunity to lead the original troops, and secondly, with the shrinking of power, non-direct lineage generals are fading away from the top ranks. Before long, there will be no chance of a comeback. Xu Lanzhou from Heilongjiang is a role model. He is now exiled to Shaanxi to fight against the Jingguo Army. After the Jingguo Army ended, he failed to come back. Therefore, Gao Shibi decided to resist the order to dismiss him out of fear for the future, and his mood is understandable.
This force was originally set up to contain the Jilin Mixed Brigade arranged by the Central Committee. It was considered a team started by Meng Enyuan, so it was the target of Lao Meng's key support. It can be said that, except for the immovable Jilin Mixed Brigade, all Jilin's financial investment in military affairs is spent on this army. Meng Enyuan and Gao Shibi have been running Jilin for twelve years. Everyone in this army belongs to him. Unless there is a big purge, Meng Enyuan's influence cannot be eliminated. However, if a systematic clean-up is not carried out, the existence of this army will not only not be a blessing, but will also be a nuisance once the situation changes.
Jilin Governor Bao Guiqing was nominally the chief officer of this army, but he could not command it at all. After the political situation changed, Gao Shibi lived and ate in the army. He followed orders but not propaganda, and firmly controlled the army.
Bao Guiqing deeply felt the great responsibility. Although he did not have much strength, he was still very energetic and tried his best to compete with Gao Shibi. On the one hand, he asked this force to be stationed in various places, otherwise the logistics supply would be stopped; on the other hand, he asked Zhang Zuolin to send heavy troops to various places in Jilin to prevent changes.
??To be honest, divide and conquer to defeat each one, and to seize money, food, ordnance, is to hold down the neck. These two tactics have been tried and tested by Lao Zhang. Bao Guiqing saw it and wanted to imitate him. If it were another team, and Lao Bao had occupied the governor's army, there would be great hope of success under the pressure of the soldiers.
But who is Master Gao? That was Meng Enyuan's close nephew, a close confidant. Otherwise, why would Gao Shibi be the brigade commander of the second mixed brigade? After Lao Meng stepped down, Gao Shibi was unwilling to be manipulated by Zhang Zuolin - with Lao Zhang's methods, he would be beaten to the end sooner or later. Why did Lao Meng step down? Because it may lead to chaos in Jilin. If chaos breaks out under Lao Zhang's command, is there any chance of forcing the Central Committee to let Lao Meng come back to power to quell the chaos? You must know that Meng Enyuan's influence in Jilin can definitely be described as "Tu Emperor".
The idea of ??a soldier is simple, but it is a big taboo. In peacetime, your superiors can't command your subordinates. How can you still expect to help you at critical moments? Bao Guiqing then exercised his military governor's order and ordered Gao Shizhi to be relieved of his post as brigade commander, and ordered his three infantry regiments to "transfer to the garrison within a certain period of time, and those who violate the rules will be punished as rebels"!
Seeing Bao Guiqing's toughness against toughness, Gao Shijiang became angry. Not only did he refuse to obey the order, he also encouraged several other regiment leaders to resolutely restrain it and raised troops to back it up. He said: "The old governor was forced to hand over power. Zhang Zuolin, Bao Guiqing and his gang are going to attack us again. The mixed brigade was originally in a group. If it is broken up, it will be easily broken by each one. Commander Xu Lanzhou is an example. Now there is no place to stand, and they are driven to Shaanxi to suppress bandits. We and Zhang Zuolin has always been at odds. If he loses military power, he will end up worse than Xu LanWorse than anything! As long as we form a tightrope, Bao Guiqing and the others will not dare to mess around, otherwise Jilin will be corrupted and the only one who can clean up the mess is the old warlord. If everything fails, the worst case scenario is picking up a gun and going to the mountains to become a thief! Didn’t Zhang Zuolin start out as a bandit? The Northeast is so big, I can’t believe there is no place for me, Pei! "
He has the confidence to say this. For many years, he has had close contacts with Lu Yonggui, a bandit in Jilin. In the early days of the Republic of China, there was nothing unusual about a family of officials and bandits in the Northeast. Like the current and previous governors, most of them had the experience of making beards.
Not to mention, his instigation really attracted a lot of people. The vast majority of the Northeastern Army were recruited by bandits. Their banditry has not changed over the years, and they have little psychological resistance to being bandits. At worst, they will just be recruited again. Besides, after the reorganization of Fengjun, the appearance of Fengtian people was completely new, but for the veterans, they were afraid of being marginalized.
Zhang Zuolin was very angry about Gao Shixiu's toughness, and it was not just as simple as disobeying orders. The equipment of Jilin's Second Mixed Brigade is the best in the Northeast. The three infantry regiments are all equipped with German-made 79 rifles (7.9mm Mauser series rifles). The regiments are configured strictly according to the Beiyang Army's "Army Peacetime Establishment Regulations" , each infantry regiment has one machine gun company. While other mixed brigades are equipped with cavalry battalions, this army is organized into a cavalry regiment. The most eye-catching thing is the fully staffed artillery battalion, which has 18 German-style Krupp 75mm mountain guns as standard equipment.
Due to the rapid expansion of Fengjun, the artillery configuration at this time was very unsatisfactory. Except for the three Beiyang standard armies, the 27th Division, the 28th Division, and the 29th Division, each of which has an artillery regiment and no shortage of personnel, the Guards Division, the 1st Division, the 16th Division, etc. initially had no artillery or very little equipment, up to a company. level troops. Only later, after Zhang Hanqing managed to obtain 30 mountain artillery pieces from the "Zongshe Party", he reorganized and armed two battalions of artillery and assigned them to the Guard Division and the First Division respectively. In addition, the surrendered Yijun Song Jiuling Department was only equipped with two companies of mountain artillery. As for the newly formed 16th Division and 7 Infantry Brigades, they were purely "infantry".
The most important thing is that this small army is already the last obstacle in Lao Zhang's way to dominate the Northeast. Regardless of whether it is for the sake of appearance or face, it must be solved completely.
Zhang Zuolin has experienced the baptism of the battlefield and is well aware of the power of artillery in modern warfare. Without artillery, the army can only be regarded as a garrison or a garrison. If it cannot bear the heavy task of attacking fortifications, it cannot be regarded as a field force. Therefore, special emphasis is placed on the artillery battalions of the two mixed brigades in Jilin.
There was also news from the Feng Intelligence Bureau that Zhang Zuolin didn't care about Gao Shijie's clamor of "turning the grass into a bandit": As long as you leave the cannon to me, it's none of my business that you become a pirate? There is no shortage of troops now, only equipment. He sent three telegrams a day to inform the Central Committee of the changes in Jilin, and implored the Central Committee: "Brigade Gao is Meng Shuai's pro-army, and Meng Enyuan must settle the brigade." He also made it clear: "Brigadier Gao and below have committed crimes, and soldiers have violated the ban." , he must be relieved of his duties.”
Good guy, now Meng Enyuan is forced to go to war: Gao Shizong is your man, you can do whatever you want! What you do is up to you, but his position as brigade commander has been revoked! Once the telegram to the Central Committee came out, Meng Enyuan would not be able to do anything without his help.
If things deteriorate, Meng Enyuan is undoubtedly responsible, and Lao Zhang can clear out Meng Enyuan's forces in Jilin with great fanfare; if Meng Enyuan "successfully" reins in his subordinates, the military reorganization will be successful, and his military power in Jilin will also be cleared, and He also has to face the betrayal of his former subordinates: Since the boss can't protect him, why not change the family?
After all, the family has a great business, and Meng Enyuan doesn’t want to fall in love with the noble scholar. How could Mr. Gao, a very smart and capable person, make such a stupid move? No one can tolerate threatening Shangguan like this! In order to fear that things would get worse, Meng Enyuan went to the headquarters of the Huncheng Brigade in person and scolded Gao Shibi: "Wuru, you are so smart and confused for a moment! If you do this, where will you put me? Where will you put the officers and men of the Huncheng Brigade! My relationship with Zhang Zuolin Grudges are just personal grievances, and if you do this, you just give people an excuse. How should we end it now?!"
Since the first year of junior high school was done, Gao Shiwen didn’t think about the fifteenth year. He said to his old boss and uncle Meng Enyuan: "There is no need to persuade the governor any more. The situation has become like this. There is no turning back. I have no way out. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I, the high priest, have nothing to say. Wan Once defeated, I will lead my brothers to occupy the mountain and become the king!"
Meng Enyuan returned in vain, and Zhang Zuolin was greatly disappointed. Even though he was reluctant to lose both sides, he had to mobilize his troops and generals to suppress Gao Jun as much as possible. This is not only a matter of prestige, but also involves the long-term stability of the Northeast. The Feng Dynasty rose up so fast that it gained control of the Northeast without experiencing any major battles. It was time for a serious battle to show the strength of the military, otherwise it would be difficult to protect some people. There are strange thoughts in my heart.

Chapter 305 Counterinsurgency Plan
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Around Jilin, there are several armies eyeing him.
They all took a fancy to the equipment of the Second Mixed Brigade, and they all thought that this army was easy to get, after all, the opponent had few people. Wu Junsheng from the north took the initiative to challenge, and Zhang Jinghui also expressed his willingness to be the vanguard.
But Zhang Zuolin had his own ideas.
Since the reorganization of the 28th Division, they have basically been training at the original station. Except for the replacement of division commanders and brigade commanders, there have been few actions in the army. It is time to bring them out and show off, and let them know that they have eaten a lot from Lao Zhang and they should serve Lao Zhang. . Zhang Jinghui's 16th Division was a newly formed unit and needed a victory to boost military morale. The two armies were ordered to mobilize to Jilin at the same time.
The Guard Division has been tested for a long time and does not need to be practiced again. Moreover, it is a strategic reserve in the hands of Zhang Zuolin, so it cannot be used against Gao Jun, but this does not mean that Zhang Hanqing has no chance to visit the front line in person.
Similarly, Wu Junsheng's 29th Division has been suppressing bandits and maintaining local security in Taonan and Heilongjiang. It has not participated in a serious battle for a long time, so it set off from the north and entered Jilin. Against a mixed brigade, three reorganized divisions have an absolute advantage in terms of equipment and manpower. It is expected that even if they cannot be completely annihilated in one battle, they are quite sure of victory.
When father and son went into battle, Zhang Zuolin wanted to push his son forward to grab an easily obtained military glory.
"But although Zhang Hanqing has outstanding performance in politics and military affairs, his qualifications are still low after all. These senior military officials in the Fengxian faction may not necessarily give them the due cooperation, so someone needs to be in charge."
The best candidate for this job is Bao Guiqing.
In order to coordinate and command the three divisions, Zhang Zuolin set up the "Jilin Security Headquarters" and let the military governor Bao Guiqing also serve as the commander.
In such a big war, it would be outrageous to leave Bao Guiqing as the governor aside, and it would be easy to follow the facts. But Governor Bao was unarmed, and he was probably trying to seize some military power. If he took this opportunity to seize power, Zhang Zuolin would probably want to die, right? As a senior counselor, Zhang Hanqing concurrently serves as the deputy commander of the Security Command. His position is suitable and he can be accepted by all parties. In addition, he can supervise Bao Guiqing.
By the way, Zhang Hanqing has been automatically promoted to Senior Counselor of the Inspection Commission of the Three Eastern Provinces. The original post of General Counselor of the Fengtian Military Governor's Office has been abolished and is no longer established. This function has been replaced by the Secretary-General of the Military Governor's Office, and all of them must have civilian backgrounds, such as Yuan Jinkai, Mo Dehui and others.
This is to implement Zhang Hanqing’s intention: after the Fengtian Reform, after the military and police were separated, they were gradually decoupled from politics. Officers are only responsible for military matters and have nothing to do with administration. The advantage is that no one will have the opportunity to threaten Zhang Zuolin's status. In charge of the army but not the government, in charge of the government but not the army, everyone is a single part, except Zhang Hanqing, who is the prince and heir, is an exception.
The fact that the military governor is not also the division commander reduces the power of the military governor, and he is no longer solely responsible for military affairs and military orders. Division commanders under the governors accept the arrangements of the provincial governors in terms of troop development planning, education and training, officer assessment and promotion, budget, etc. However, the combat command system, such as combat organization forms, exercises, combat deployments and other specific military operations, must obey the arrangements of the three eastern provinces. An order to inspect the staff of the envoy—this elevated the status of Zhang Zuoxiang, who also served as chief of staff.
To put it simply, Zhang Zuolin took back the power of the provincial governors to dispatch troops and generals to fight, and returned military orders to the patrol envoys; he handed over troublesome and trivial matters such as logistics, supply training, etc. to the governors. This is called patrolling the envoys in charge of war, and the military governors in charge of construction. Therefore, even though Bao Guiqing is the governor of Jilin, he does not have any say in combat unless he is given the title of "security commander".
Of course, even if Bao Guiqing has this title, he can't stir up much trouble: these division commanders are all Zhang Zuolin's people, and he can't command even if he wants to. However, Zhang Hanqing's proposal to separate military administration and military orders was exactly what Lao Zhang wanted: seeing more and more troops, he no longer had the energy to directly manage divisions scattered in several provinces, and he would inevitably have to decentralize power in the future. If we can form a good system and let our subordinates exercise positive control, it would of course be a good thing, even if it means taking precautions for a rainy day.
I really don’t know how this son came up with such an insight into human nature and a clever and appropriate method? He feels that he is particularly confident now, whether in handling administrative affairs in the three eastern provinces or in controlling his senior military officers. The previous mentality of walking on thin ice was gone, replaced by the calmness of a superior.
Marshal Zhang wants his son to be the deputy commander, and the three division commanders each have their own ideas. Ji Jinchun is an old acquaintance with the young marshal. He is familiar with the young marshal's various performances in the Guards Brigade (Division), and he admires the young marshal quite a lot;
Zhang Jinghui and Wu Junsheng are both Zhang Zuolin’s alliance brothers. In terms of seniority, Zhang Hanqing would also call them alliance uncles. There is no need to worry about this "younger generation" jumping on their heads.This method is impossible, after all, they are all seniors in the Northeast military community. However, because of Zhang Zuolin's face, and Zhang Hanqing not showing off like a deputy commander, they were displeased, but on the surface they were still able to take photos.
Bao Guiqing, on the other hand, was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Hanqing's "mixing of sand" - Zhang Hanqing "spoke wildly" when he became deputy commander, and repeatedly made shocking remarks on military operations. The limelight overshadowed his upright Jilin governor, so he was a little bit dissatisfied. Not happy anymore. Regardless of his qualifications, position, and age, he felt he was head and shoulders above Zhang Hanqing.
Zhang Hanqing suggested using superior forces to set up a frontal formation and attack from three sides in one fell swoop, without giving Gao Jun a chance to breathe. As long as a gap is opened, the morale of the divided and surrounded Gao army will disappear. After all, they are "rebels" in a strict sense. The advantage of this is that it can maximize the acquisition of urgently needed mountain cannons and other weapons. Of course, the risk is loss of personnel, and the emphasis is on the word "quick" and regardless of losses.
But Wu Junsheng made a small calculation to preserve his strength and was unwilling to act as a thug. He prefers to surround three buildings and one, using all kinds of pressure to overwhelm Gao Jun, and "force" Gao Jun to leave the station with minimal losses. In this way, heavy weapons such as mountain artillery that are inconvenient to carry will have a chance to be left behind, and those who leave the station will Logistics and supplies will be a problem for the high-level army, and this army can be easily eliminated in mobile warfare. Although this may take a little more time, the time should be on Fengjun's side.
It can’t be said that Lao Wu’s idea is wrong, but according to Zhang Hanqing’s judgment of Gao Shizhu, he will not easily leave the station to become a bandit until the last moment. This "encirclement of three" will only turn into a stalemate. In the end, it will be a battle between powerful forces and heavy troops. Both will be destroyed. The end result will be that nothing can be gained and the losses will be even greater.
Although Ji Jinchun was inclined to Zhang Hanqing's opinion, Zhang Jinghui, the first-time division commander, said safety was the most important thing and agreed with Wu Junsheng's idea.
Bao Guiqing also did not want a military war to break out in Jilin under his rule. Wu Junsheng's idea was like boiling a frog in warm water, and he also had the opportunity to defeat others without fighting. This would make him famous in the Northeast military circles. Clapper support. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 306: Breaking off

This is the most painful time for Zhang Hanqing.
"These people are all arrogant warlords. Their nature determines that they will not look at problems from a larger and higher standpoint. All they see is their own one-third of an acre of land.
“Maybe Dad made a mistake in sending him here. Maybe he should bring in the Guards Division, even part of it. Although he also wanted to make military achievements again, he did not take orders from his own troops, so he could only be regarded as a senior staff officer.
Although the Fengjun army that he participated in the improvement or construction has higher combat effectiveness and better military discipline than the official history, it is still unable to escape the influence of the old ideological trend. Especially the commanders are thinking of harming the public for personal gain, which is not conducive to ensuring the army's of wholeness.
So he secretly vowed that after what happened here, he would lead his own army whenever possible and would never be a lone man again. The soldiers of the warlords are all private soldiers and cannot be controlled by others.
Discord between generals is a taboo for military strategists.
When sending people to report to Zhang Zuolin, the deployment of "encircling three buildings and one" was steadily unfolding. Feng Jun moved slowly but gradually stretched out his fists in three directions to intimidate Gao Jun to retreat. Something that worried Zhang Hanqing arose, and Gao Shibi took the time to mobilize for combat and effectively deployed his troops.
He deployed heavy troops in the urban area of ??Changchun and placed the mountain artillery camp in the north of the city. If Fengjun enters the city, he will inevitably fight fiercely throughout the city. In the wide area north of the city, it is a good place for mountain artillery to exert its power. If Fengjun were to fight back, he would have some scruples - this place is very close to the South Manchuria Railway. If unfortunately it damages the "Manchuria-Mongolia lifeline" of the Japanese, you will know the consequences.
The Japanese Route Guard Army Headquarters in Changchun also sent an ultimatum: Do not harm the South Manchuria Line, otherwise, the Japanese army will not sit idly by! Next to Changchun is Kuanchengzi, which is the watershed of the Japanese-controlled section of the South Manchuria Railway. Japan has stationed a brigade of troops here. The weight of this ultimatum even made Bao Guiqing confused. Meng Enyuan fell from power because of this incident. Will he become the shortest-lived warlord in the history of the Republic of China because of this?
It was just a small battle with infantry, but the result was protracted. The consequences of this long-term "resistance" were self-evident to this one of the centers of Northeast China, and it added many variables: the Japanese ’s, Central | It’s unprecedented, and I shudder just thinking about it.
Wu Junsheng and Zhang Jinghui are both military experts, and they knew it was going to be bad as soon as Gao Shixiu's position was established. Gao Jun was not afraid of itchiness due to too many lice, so he could still find time to shoot him a few times, but he just stared and didn't dare to fight back. Both the 28th and 29th Divisions have full artillery units, but in this area with a large number of residents, the only thing left is a dog biting a hedgehog with nowhere to bite. They regretted that they should not have bullied Zhang Hanqing into being a laggard. A few days ago, who was laughing at him for talking about it on paper?
Bao Guiqing didn't dare to be good at expertise, so he went to Fengtian to ask Zhang Zuolin for advice at starry night, leaving the mess to Zhang Hanqing——who let him hang up the position of deputy commander?
However, Zhang Hanqing did not realize that he was being stabbed. Instead, he looked very happy. This made the three bosses in the headquarters, Wu, Ji, and Zhang, very surprised: Old Bao was a treacherous and cunning person. He was obviously trying to make him a scapegoat by abandoning his business at this time. Ah, how come Guawazi doesn’t even have this awareness? When things get serious and Zhang Zuolin has to show up to clean up the mess, it will be called a disgrace. Of course, with Zhang Zuolin here, it's impossible to shoulder much responsibility, but it's not good for his future anyway, right?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Unknowingly, Zhang Zuolin was in their impression that he was the best person to play with the Northeast, including the Japanese. There is no reason, maybe the temperament of a leader is innate.
Now it’s up to Xiao Liuzi’s decision. Both teachers Wu and Zhang are waiting and watching. But when he met Zhang Hanqing again, he ordered the three armies to retreat thirty miles in the name of deputy commander: "The conditions for surprise attack have been lost, frontal combat is impossible, Changchun cannot be corrupted, and now we must negotiate peace with Gao Jun. As long as there is a chance, We need to work a hundred times harder. Marshal Wu, we can ask Governor Meng to come and persuade peace. As long as we can avoid causing trouble to the place, everything will be easy to negotiate. We also need to send someone to appease Brigadier Gao and express our attitude so that he will not Make trouble happen behind your back."
Wu Junsheng and others found it ridiculous, and even Ji Jinchun felt that this move was inappropriate. He said to Zhang Hanqing: "Young Marshal, last time Meng Enyuan failed to persuade Gao Shibi, he has returned to his hometown in Tianjin. Now that the negotiations are restarted, he will not be there in three or two days." If you can't get there, Gao Jun can raid and reinforce the fortifications in the past few days, and Feng Jun's attack will be more difficult."
Zhang Hanqing smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter. I have decided not to fight. I will wait for Governor Meng to come for peace talks. The other party is on guard."?Whether the fortifications are reinforced or not has no impact. During this period, I will personally persuade Brigadier Gao to settle down behind us. "
Zhang Jinghui was still afraid of taking responsibility. If something happened to this Jijun army, Zhang Zuolin would not necessarily hit Naizi. He and the other three division commanders would inevitably have to do it. He already guessed what he said: "Xue Liang is young and ignorant, you guys Three people who don’t understand military affairs!?” He said to Zhang Hanqing: “Does the young marshal’s decision have the marshal’s approval?”
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "The general is out, and you will not accept your orders. Now that Governor Bao has left and Xueliang is the deputy commander, I dare not not take responsibility. I decided to send people to negotiate. If the commander is blamed, Xueliang is willing to One shoulder to bear.”
Having said that, the three teachers gave up their thoughts of admonishing.
Zhang Hanqing then sent someone to deliver a letter to Gao Shibi: "The original intention of the patrol envoys to intervene in Jilin was to prevent the local corruption. It is the bounden duty of soldiers to protect their homes and the country. They have the responsibility to defend the land, not to rekindle local wars. General Gao listened to the slander and It is unwise to fight our army alone. It is still too late to rein in the situation. I will patrol the embassy and the Central Committee to defend you. I will handle all the aftermath. As long as it can save the place from being devastated by weapons, anything can be done. talk."
This negotiation proposition, which is not an "ultimatum," is very broad. Not only Wu Junsheng and others were puzzled, but even Gao Shibi found it funny. When he received Zhang Hanqing's message, he laughed and said: "Zhang Zuolin went on stage to support his son. It's really Let him have a hand in everything. Do you think I am a three-year-old child? We can talk about anything. When Fengjun withdraws from Changchun, I will only follow Zhang Zuolin's lead."
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Fengjun finally had a chance to completely capture Jilin, so how could he let it go so easily? It is not Zhang Zuolin's style to be timid in the face of battle. The suggestion he made was purely for fun. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 307 Showing Weakness

When Gao Shibi's messenger told him what he had said, Wu Junsheng's face turned green. He said angrily, "What a bully! The young marshal has good intentions to prevent the place from being corrupted, but this ignorant thing is asking for a lot of money." !" He pointed at the messenger and said: "Go back and tell Gao Shizong that Fengxi has ten times the military strength of his. Don't rush to say it to death. If you want, there will still be a trace of incense to meet!"
Zhang Hanqing was unmoved, and his heart was as calm as water: "Well, the conditions for withdrawing from Changchun are a bit high, but your coach is willing to negotiate, which is good. We can talk again, Changchun is a provincial government, and the impact will be too great. , Gao Jun cannot be in Changchun, and can choose other places, such as Huichun, Yanji and other places. There are three borders there and the situation is complicated, so Gao Jun can also serve as a border defense force."
Wu Junsheng and Ji Jinchunqi said: "No!"
These places are the junction of China, Russia and North Korea. In order to cut into the Northeast from the belly, the Japanese racked their brains in the past few years to create a "Jiandao" dispute case, and the aftermath is not over yet. More importantly, Gao Shibi had a close relationship with Lu Yonggui, the largest bandit leader in Jilin. Lu Yonggui had tens of thousands of bandits under him, entrenched along the border between China, North Korea and Russia. At that time, he was considered the largest bandit king in the Northeast. He occupies the advantage of the geographical location. Even when Meng Enyuan was in office, he had to coax and deceive, and the Jilin garrison did not dare to go east of the Jiao River.
It was only because of this strength that Master Gao dared to challenge Zhang Zuolin. Otherwise, with all the guns in his hand, how dare he be! Although Wu Junsheng and the others made a battle plan of "encircling three towers and one tower", the "one" coming out of the tower was to the west instead of the opposite direction to the east, because they were worried about the two powerful forces meeting each other.
Seeing that Zhang Hanqing wanted to arrange Gao's bridesmaids in Hui, Ji and other places, Wu Junsheng and others, who knew the benefits, rushed to stop it. Isn't this letting the tiger go back to the mountain? At the previous mission meeting to deal with the situation in Jilin, Zhang Zuolin proposed a plan to annihilate the Jilin bandits and restore local stability after settling in Jilin. They would rather deal with Gao Shibi and have a headache than let the two forces get together. .
Zhang Hanqing smiled: "It doesn't matter, let's see what Brigadier Gao wants first."
When Gao Shijie got the reply, he sneered and said: "Others praised Zhang Xueliang like a ball of flowers, but it turned out to be a silver-like wax spear head!" The situation changed so quickly that Ji Du changed people, and the three divisions of the Feng Dynasty came too suddenly. , he had no time to react and could only prepare for a fight between trapped beasts. Now Zhang Hanqing wants to let him join forces with the Hu bandits, which is exactly what he wants.
At the same time, Zhang Hanqing was not idle either. He sent another person to appease another surrendering army, the Jilin Mixed Brigade. As we sharpen our swords with the Second Mixed Brigade, this unit must not cause any more evil!
Pei Qixun, the commander of Jilin Mixed Brigade, was originally promoted from Jiangsu to Yanbian, Jilin when the border disputes between China and Japan were in crisis. He was promoted to Army Commander for his merits in defending the enemy and protecting the frontier, and has been in Jilin for eleven years since he moved to Jilin. as long as. He made great contributions in regaining the management of the Eastern Railway and was therefore awarded the rank of Lieutenant General of the Army. As a close confidant of Meng Enyuan, he only obeyed the military qualities of his superiors, but did not really want to advance or retreat with him. Therefore, when the central government announced Meng Enyuan's dismissal and Zhang Zuolin, the patrol envoy to the three eastern provinces, asked his troops to accept the adaptation on the spot, he decided to obey unconditionally.
But to be one of the earliest defectors in Jilin's military circles, he has another concern: Based on his knowledge of Zhang Zuolin over the years, it is inevitable for an army to be reorganized and reorganized in his hands. Sooner or later, his army will have the surname Zhang. . His benefactor Meng Enyuan and Zhang Zuolin had a deep grudge. If it hadn't been for the "Kuanchengzi" incident, it would have been extremely difficult for Zhang Zuolin to enter Jilin. Because of this, will Lao Zhang settle the score later? Life is not in danger, but the loss of military power is very likely. I have not yet learned my destiny. Now that I have retired from the military, where will I go to work? He has been stationed outside the customs for a long time and knows nothing about the personnel inside the customs.
While he was hesitating, Zhang Hanqing's personal letter had arrived. Zhang Hanqing "affectionately" reviewed Pei Qixun's glorious life and fighting life to protect Jilin from being cannibalized by the Japanese, and said that the military reorganization was inevitable, but would be recommended to the visiting embassy, ??and Pei himself could still serve in it, or be a As the newly appointed brigade commander, he also served as the garrison envoy of Suining Town, or as the chief of staff of the Jilin Military Governor's Office - this position was not on the agenda due to the lack of troops when preparing the Jilin Military Governor's Office. He is a young marshal. As long as he is willing to do it, Pei Qixun estimates that things will work out.
The territory of the Suining garrison is in the east of Jilin. This is a foreshadowing for Zhang Hanqing to use Pei Qixun's army to deal with Gao Shibi and the Hu tribe. After all, fortresses are most easily breached from the inside. We all have been in Jilin for more than ten years, so we are familiar with each other, so we can find weak spots, right?
Pei Qixun knew Zhang Hanqing’s intentions. If Zhang Hanqing forced him to do it, he would have no choice but to do it. After all, the concept of loyalty to the country is far stronger than personal feelings. But fortunately, there is the position of chief of staff of the Military Governor's Office with "responsibility but no power".However, Pei Qixun decided to take up this position. As a "relegated general", he has not gained trust in the eyes of the new and old coaches of the Fengcheng faction. Seizing military power is not a way to survive.
If Zhang Hanqing had made a false promise to him, or promised that he would still retain his original position, he would not believe it. The two provinces of Fenghei and Fenghei disrupted the reorganization of Shantou, except for Ji Jinchun's 28th Division. outside. Zhang Hanqing bluntly pointed out that his army would be reorganized and his position would be changed and changed from real to fictitious (the general knowledge of officers in this era about the position of chief of staff), but he thought this was very true and reliable.
So he arranged for someone to send a letter to Zhang Hanqing, expressing his position: "Our department will obey the reorganization, and the generals will work hard to cooperate in completing the corresponding tasks. But after that, more capable generals need to be sent to take over the mixed brigade. Pei is more inclined to engage in staff work. Fulfill your long-cherished wish."
This is acceptable, Zhang Hanqing has no intention of using this "surrendering army", his purpose is just to appease Pei's tribe.
Gao Shibi was disdainful of Zhang Hanqing's show of weakness from the bottom of his heart. In his reply to Zhang Hanqing, he said: "It is not impossible for our army to withdraw from Changchun, but the three divisions of the Fengjun army need to retreat a hundred miles, and an additional 500,000 yuan will be spent overseas. From now on, the Second Mixed Brigade will not listen. Proclamation." He had arranged for people to contact Lu Yonggui at night. As long as the enemy was dispatched, Jilin would be turned upside down. At that time, the Feng army was blooming on all sides. He took the opportunity to break out. After joining forces with Lu Yonggui, there was a local snake like**. I'm afraid it won't be easy for Fengjun to eat him.
Zhang Hanqing wrote back and said yes, and said: "The dawn of peace in Jilin has emerged, and Brigadier Gao has contributed a lot." Regardless of Wu Junsheng's dissuasion, he said: "We will arrange for the Jilin Branch of the Northeast Bank to cash in the foreign currency, and the deadline can be reached. Gao Junyi Prepare to be transferred to Jidong." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com

Even Ji Jinchun didn't agree with Zhang Hanqing's approach. He said sincerely: "Young Marshal, Gao Shibi is ruthless and ambitious. He is asking for a lot of money when I am besieging the city on three sides. It is just to buy time for him to prepare for defense. We will wait for him. Sincerity is just showing charm to the blind, I think it is of no use."
It was Zhang Hanqing’s turn to laugh. He looked at the unjust Zhang Jinghui, the disapproving Wu Junsheng, and the sincere Ji Jinchun, and said with a smile: "How could I not know the story of throwing firewood to put out fires? Our army's slow action has given Gao Jun an opportunity, and it is not advisable to attack Changchun." In this case, it doesn't matter if you give him time to strengthen his defense. Gao Shibi's reliance is nothing more than thinking that we are worried about the lives of the people in the provincial capital of Changchun and do not dare to fight. In addition, he also has a strong support, that is Hu Bandit. If the two of them join forces, it will be our biggest nightmare. He is playing delay with me, and I am also hoping to delay for a while. I have called back and forth several times, and it is estimated that by this time, Lu Yonggui’s troops have already Is it almost resolved?"
Dare to love, the young man deliberately shows that the enemy is weak, it is another action.
Everyone was shocked!
Wu Junsheng has been suppressing bandits in the two provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang for many years. He knows well that the mountains and forests outside the Guanhai Pass are deep and dense, and it is also a place where various forces such as the former Qing Dynasty, White Russians, Japanese, and Koreans are mixed. To eliminate a group of bandits, it requires planning, actions and Cooperation is so important. It can be said that the right time, right place, and people are indispensable. Lu Yonggui is not so much a bandit as he is a local bully in southern Jilin. He was backed by the Japanese, commanded a force said to be tens of thousands, and his men were all habitual criminals who had traveled over mountains and ridges, and had beards who were skilled in marksmanship. They killed people like crazy, and the former Qing government failed to make a dent in several encirclement and suppression campaigns. Instead, the suppression campaign got bigger and bigger. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, the average local army is really no match for it.
This is also what Gao Shibi relies on. He started an uprising in Changchun, and Lu Yonggui responded in the southeast, causing chaos throughout Jilin. If there is any disturbance at this time, the situation will change again. If Zhang Hanqing wants to break Gao Shibi's fighting spirit, the bandits must be eliminated. Moreover, if he wants to carry out land reform in the entire Northeast, these bandits must be eliminated first. Otherwise, it is difficult to imagine that an unarmed working group can effectively operate in a place where bandits gather. More importantly, there is no royal land in the world. There cannot be another overlord on the Zhang family's territory!
The unhappy cooperation with the old faction of the Feng faction made him urgently need to carve out his own world. At this time, the guard division he relied on for the Great Wall was reconsidered and the target was the Lu Yonggui gang. The Guards Division started out by suppressing bandits, but it was on the grassland at that time. In the Northeast, there are still many things to do in the future, and it is also necessary to be familiar with the white mountains and black waters, so it will suppress bandits again.
Napoleon's comments after the Battle of the Pyramids in Egypt are world-famous: "Two Mamluks can definitely defeat three French soldiers, one hundred French soldiers and one hundred Mamluk soldiers are evenly matched; three hundred French soldiers can defeat most of them." Three hundred Mamluks, and a thousand French soldiers can always defeat fifteen hundred Mamluks.”
The combat literacy of soldiers cannot be formed in a day or two. The Guards Division has a strong desire to fight and determination to win. This is its strength, but its weaknesses are also obvious: it has not been established for a long time, and its individual combat capabilities may not be as good as many. bandit. But as a well-trained team, as long as the techniques and tactics are right, it is very possible to win.
After two days of trekking, the Guards Division arrived at the southern junction of Jilin and Fengtian. The forwards fought against the Hu bandits in the Tonghua area on the banks of the Hunjiang River and at the foot of Longgang Mountain. In the early stages, the battle was slightly unfavorable.
The bandits have lived in the local area for many years and are familiar with the geography and culture. Moreover, the bandits all use horses, which fully exploits the advantages of guerrilla warfare. They can hit and run away, and they can leave without leaving a trace. This has become their world here. However, because the Guard Division was not familiar with this combat mode, it suffered several small losses - the battles with the Babuzabu bandits were all on the vast prairie, with an unobstructed view, and the battles relied on courage and equipment.
The advantages of the equipment here are completely useless: mountain cannons are not brought at all because they are not easy to carry and do not require siege of cities and territories. The Guards Division has courage, but when faced with the enemy's quickness of horse, shooting and changing places, and sudden harassment and surprise attacks, no matter how courageous they are, they cannot be effective in combat, and instead become filled with resentment and anger. .
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing met someone when he was in Tianjin, which made rapid progress in suppressing bandits. This man is famous in history, but his name is notoriety, infamy, and infamy.
This person is from Zhang Hanqing’s family, and his name is Zhang Zongchang. But he is from Shandong and has nothing to do with Zhang Hanqing.
It was not Zhang Zongchang who Zhang Hanqing was looking for, but the young marshal he was looking for first. In view of Zhang Zongchang’s poor performance in history, Zhang Hanqing would not?His.
Zhang Zongchang was born in a poor family, and his mother, Zhu, was considered a figure in the female stream when she was young. She was born tall, strong and strong, and was nicknamed "Big Foot". She was a well-known "female bachelor" in the local area. She once traveled to Guandong alone, traveled to three passes and six docks, and was well-informed. Later, when she returned to her hometown, she called herself "Huang Erxian Aunt" "Possessed her, she began to practice witchcraft, and she was known as the witch from then on. After Zhang Zongchang was born, his family was still very poor. When he was a boy, Zhang Zongchang worked with the bandit leader to earn a living with the tacit approval of his mother Zhu Wu. When he was sixteen years old, the Russian Empire invaded the Northeast and was building the Middle East Railway. With the strong support of his mother, Zhang Zongchang and a group of fellow villagers traveled to Guandong to build roads, which gained him a lot of knowledge. He became a bandit for a time and later fled to Vladivostok.
Later, when the railway was not repaired, Zhang Zongchang returned to his hometown and continued to be a bandit, and even raised a group of people. After the Wuchang Uprising of 1911, he surrendered to Hu Ying, the commander-in-chief of the Shandong People's Army. He then went to Shanghai and served as the commander of the Independent Cavalry Regiment of the Liberation Army. In 1912, he served as commander of the third cavalry regiment of the third division of Jiangsu Province and commander of the fifth brigade. In July 1913, he joined Feng Guozhang and served successively as supervisor of the Jiangsu Army Officer Education Corps, deputy chief of the Jiangsu General Office, and division commander of the Jiangsu Third Division. When the whole country rebelled against Yuan, he was sent to Xuzhou to defend Yuan Shikai's southward Beiyang army, but he defected on the front line and surrendered to Feng Guozhang, the Beiyang general and his old employer. From then on, he became a member of the Zhili clique. After Feng Guozhang became president, he relied heavily on him and appointed him as the Attaché to the Presidential Office. This shows the extraordinary level of trust.
On the surface, Zhang Zongchang is enjoying a smooth life, but privately, he is worried about his future.
Premier Duan disliked him, the second brother of the president, more and more. When the dispute between the government and the Yuan came to a climax, President Feng had already fled Beijing and headed south to his old territory. Only being blocked in Bengbu prevented him from finally making the trip. At this time, Anhui politicians had established the "Anfu Club" to plan a new presidential election. According to the situation, Feng Guozhang's hope of continuing to be elected is basically zero - what will he do then?
Zhang Zongchang has traveled north and south for many years and has seen countless storms. It is his advantage to make friends to prepare for rainy days. Once the Anhui clique gains power, it has no foundation in the Zhili clique, and is afraid that it will have no place in the future. It happened that Fengtian Marshal Zhang Hanqing was providing disaster relief in Tianjin. As a rising star in the political arena of the Republic of China, Zhang Zongchang also had a keen eye for people and used him as a stepping stone to get closer to the Fengtian faction.
But Zhang Hanqing knew Zhang Zongchang in history. No matter whether he was a new or old school, he would not tolerate a person like this joining. In his mind, the future military and political cadres of the People's Party must not allow Zhang Zongchang to have such ambitions. Entrepreneurs, speculators and scoundrels mingled in. Therefore, Zhang Hanqing politely rejected Zhang Zongchang's olive branch.
However, the unfavorable situation of annihilating Lu Yonggui reminded Zhang Hanqing that three years later in the official history, he still relied on him to defeat the Hu bandit army with only one military police battalion. Of course, after Zhang Zuolin's rule in the Northeast, the living environment of bandits was greatly restricted. Lu Yonggui didn't have many followers left at that time, so he had this opportunity.
At that time, he relied on his face.
Yes. Because many of Lu Yonggui's leaders were fellow villagers who broke into Guandong with Zhang Zongchang. With this relationship, it was originally a battle with great disparity in power, but Zhang Zongchang was able to organize the Hu bandits into three regiments without losing any blood.
Now, the love of incense is still there. While Zhang Hanqing is waiting for Meng Enyuan, he also sends someone to invite Zhang Zongchang to ask him to contribute to Fengxi. Today, Zhang Hanqing is far more famous than a year ago; and Zhang Zongchang is once again faced with a life choice: Feng Guozhang knew that there was no hope of being elected, so he resigned by phone on August 13, 1918.
If the president leaves office, the next president will never use him as chief of guard again. Where should I go?
It’s time to find a way out for yourself. So Zhang Zongchang received Zhang Hanqing's overtures and immediately rushed to Jilin without stopping. After accepting Zhang Hanqing's arrangement, he immediately devoted himself to the just cause of suppressing bandits with full enthusiasm.
??Don’t say it, snakes have their own paths, rats have their own paths. The Hu bandits who had a great fight with the Guard Division were very enthusiastic about Zhang Zongchang's arrival. Zhang Zongchang also successfully persuaded many dissatisfied bandits with his smooth tongue.
The general idea is that Zhang Zuolin quickly and easily captured Jilin and integrated the resources of the three eastern provinces into one, more than doubling his strength. Seeing that the Northeast is already under the control of Zhang Zuolin, if you continue to fight against him, you will lose sooner or later. Why don't you take advantage of the opportunity now to recruit an officer to clear your name and come ashore early, and maybe get an official position. Isn't it a hundred times better than being a bandit? They have no qualms about "being good" from the bottom of their hearts. Didn't the famous Marshal Zhang Zuolin also have a beard?
Of course, Zhang Hanqing also made some conditions in order to eliminate the banditry as soon as possible. Like the distribution of grain and land, it also gave something to look forward to. Those bandits who went up the mountain because of poverty at least knew that they had a way to retreat, and when they resisted, they no longer felt like fighting to the death for survival. Gangsters who don't want to be farmers can still be paid as soldiers, but they have to be reorganized. Anyone who is unwilling to accept the recruitment is determined to become a bandit. The gun in the hand of the Guard Division is picked up just for them. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)They can still be paid as soldiers, but they have to undergo reorganization.

With benefits, the bandits couldn't help but murmur to each other, and the originally monolithic camp was quickly divided.
Lu Yonggui’s gang was formed by the merger of dozens of hills, large and small. The reason why Lu Yonggui is regarded as Guigao is because he has a strategy and a sense of responsibility, not because he has the most heads. Ever since Zhang Zongchang paid a private visit to a group of minion leaders, his life has been difficult: today a group of bandits have been recruited, and tomorrow a group of people have "recruited". The crowd had a gathering effect, bad news became more and more frequent, and some originally determined bandits on the mountain also made waves.
At this time, Zhang Hanqing struck while the iron was hot. He announced in the name of the Jilin Security Command that all bandits who surrendered and were unwilling to serve as soldiers could be given travel expenses to return home, and no local discrimination was allowed; those who were willing to accept the adaptation could directly become official members of the imperial family. army. This army will be organized into several regiments, and the bandits who surrender early will be named commanders of regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads depending on how many men they can pull out. The organization will basically remain unchanged. The highest officer of this team is Zhang Zongchang.
Yes, Zhang Zongchang saw with his own eyes the strength of the Guard Division in Jilin, and also heard that Zhang Zuolin had a lot of soldiers and grain, and he already had the idea of ????"hopping jobs." When he came, he had already expressed his attitude, but he had not confirmed it before.
And once the bandits who resist to the end are captured during the battle, they will be confirmed as rebel generals. In severe cases, they may be decapitated and shot, or in worst cases, they may be re-education through labor. It is definitely a hard job.
I heard that Zhang Zongchang was the leader, and even some hesitant bandits were tempted. Although Zhang Zongchang has various shortcomings, he is still very willing to treat his subordinates and has a good reputation. It's a bit too complimentary to describe him as "loyal and generous", but this guy is a fool, believes in getting drunk now, and is very willing to make friends with money, which is a big advantage, otherwise the bandits in the Northeast will not be there a few years later. Remember his kindness and righteousness.
Zhang Hanqing named his team the "Northeast Mixed Brigade". This "humble" is a mix of three religions and nine streams, and also means a bastard - Zhang Hanqing actually looks down on him. However, Zhang Zongchang was a rough man, and he was very happy to be the brigade commander for a position appointed by the young marshal himself. Later, Zhang Hanqing felt a little sorry.
The great victory of "collecting bandits" occurred in the southeast. Because Gao Shibi was surrounded in Changchun, he didn't know that he was still dreaming of bargaining with Zhang Hanqing. If the Second Mixed Brigade has its own territory, whether it is Tonghua, Baishan or Yanji, it will be an excellent arrangement for itself - firstly, it is remote and can be self-contained, and secondly, it is very close to Lu Yonggui. We must know that the number of beards in Northeast China is large and their distribution is wide, which is rare in the world.
Zhang Hanqing also had conversations with him at different times. Every day, the two parties would either "surrender and I promise not to adapt" or "you promise not to adapt, and I will surrender." They played word games back and forth. It was simply a "non-military" relationship between China and Taiwan in the history of the future. A version of "not independent but not martial".
But when Meng Enyuan came to his territory again and asked him to understand the situation sternly, Gao Shibi woke up from a dream: he hoped to delay time in order to prepare, and Fengjun also had the same idea. However, his defensive circle has not been reinforced much, and his peripheral strength has been basically cleared. If the battle breaks out, he will really become a bandit, and a lone bandit at that!
Meng Enyuan didn’t know what happened to Lu Yonggui, but it was true that Zhang Zongchang, who was recruited by Zhang Hanqing, armed three regiments. These were all recruited with bare hands. Meng Enyuan saw it with his own eyes and said it himself. Moreover, it is said that the main force of the Hu bandits has retreated to the vicinity of Huichun on the China-North Korea border. The news that the Jilin Security Command has requested the Jilin Provincial Government to dispatch government staff to Dunhua, Antu and other counties for local governance shows that the Hu bandits have at least already Lost its dominant position in central and eastern Jilin.
What’s going on with Lu Yonggui! Doesn’t he have tens of thousands of troops? Why did it collapse so quickly! This is not over yet, there is news that Lu Yonggui also sent people to throw stones at the young marshal to ask for directions to see if there is a chance to get a share of the pie. The young marshal is still considering it. I don’t know where this news came from, but it was spread in a very weird way. Not only was there no human evidence, but even the dialogue scenes were lifelike.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????… The old boss rebuked Gao Shibi in public, which caused ripples among some officers.
In fact, Meng Enyuan does not want to be this lobbyist: these are his brothers who started their own business, and they were all his former confidants! However, Zhang Hanqing made it clear this time that once the recruitment of Hu bandits is completed, he will be free to subdue Gao Lu by force. Gao Brigade will be declared a rebel at that time, so as the former governor and his uncle, Meng Enyuan will definitely not be able to escape the relationship. Not only will his relatives and friends in Jilin be implicated, but Zhang Hanqing will also prompt the inspection embassy offices of the three northeastern provinces to request the central government to seize Meng Enyuan's property in Tianjin.Property. The war has led to the devastation of the people, and Meng Enyuan will also be classified as a criminal in the Northeast as the instigator and be severely punished!
Zhang Hanqing's words were so stern that Meng Enyuan did not dare to doubt that if this happened, Zhang Hanqing would do so without hesitation, thinking of the young marshal's fearless character and ruthlessness in moving at every word.
Yes, Zhang Hanqing is preparing to do this. As a new political power, it needs artillery fire to rely on, and it also needs blood to thrive. Otherwise, how could he show his seriousness, heaviness, and historical vicissitudes? The Soviet regime established by the neighboring countries to the north is using violence to overthrow the old order. As an emerging factional regime, it may also need to use a stormy operation to sweep away the old power. In this way, he can safely carry out various constructions in the Northeast without being resisted or resisted by various forces. In this sense, it is a good thing that the demons and monsters show up first.
So this time when Meng Enyuan entered Kyrgyzstan, it was far from being a two-faced man who seemed to be obstructing him the first time, but a real and sincere objection. When he opened his mouth, some half-hearted people were the first to waver. Meng Enyuan is their old commander, so it is definitely right to follow the old commander.
But Gao Shibi’s feeling is: the people’s hearts are broken and it’s hard to lead the team.
Bad news came one after another. Zhang Hanqing, who was still "preparing to open the appropriation fund", tore off the veil of warmth. Not only did he no longer have the 500,000 yuan "appropriation fund", he also wanted to declare Gao Brigade a rebel and high-profile military reconquest. Changchun.
Zhang Hanqing’s propaganda war a few days ago began to bear fruit, and it only targeted Gao Shibi. First, he enumerated his evil deeds, and then changed the subject and explained that in order to push his uncle back to power, Gao Shibi tied the entire Second Mixed Brigade to his chariot and conducted a luck-betting confrontation. Victory is a personal turning point for him as a high priest; failure will lead the whole brigade into boundless darkness: instead of eating the royal food, he will go to the mountains to become a bandit?
In order to divide them from within, Zhang Hanqing offered a heavy reward: Unless Gao Shijie took the initiative to lead the entire brigade to surrender, he could make up for his mistakes. Otherwise, once a war breaks out, whoever captures Gao Shibi will be rewarded with a reward of 100,000 yuan, regardless of life or death. If he leads an army "anyway", he will be promoted to one level and will be rewarded with 10 yuan for each soldier he brings out. As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. A small investment can be exchanged for a big reward. Let the Northeast settle down as soon as possible. It would be better than anything else.
It not only stimulates division, but also seriously affects Gao Shibi's prestige in the army. Now, except for the private company, Gao Shixiang looked at everyone as if they wanted to take the reward from other people's leaders, so he looked at everyone with scrutiny, which was what he meant when he suspected his neighbor of stealing an ax. This made the officers under their command express great pressure, and they felt guilty even if they were thieves.
If things continue like this, there will be no need to fight this battle. However, Gao Shibi did not want to cooperate with Zhang Hanqing's plan for his escape: after surrendering, the whole brigade was reorganized, and Gao Shibi left Jilin and went to Tianjin to join his Uncle Meng.
Gao Shibi felt that it was necessary to unify the officers' thinking, and he held two consecutive meetings of senior officers to discuss the situation. Unlike in the past when we were united as one, a considerable number of military officers now believe that they cannot cause too much trouble with the Jilin Security Command and must leave a way out for themselves. Their reason is that they are all from the Northeast, and the officers and soldiers are all natives of Jilin. It would be extremely irresponsible for their subordinates to have no place to stand.
The key point is that in the situation where the numbers are extremely disparate, the only way out after turning against each other is to become a bandit. This is completely different from the outcome that Gao Shibi had previously advocated for the mixed brigade to become its own system outside of the Fengxian through demonstrations. Although they keep saying that "at worst they will become bandits," it is quite difficult to actually get to this point.
Then someone neutralized and said, "Can we have some peace with the young marshal and let us leave Changchun safely and go to Jidong? We will give him a good Changchun. This condition may be acceptable, right?" There was a big fight in Changchun. , can be called "rebels". Some of them have guns and it's easy to run away, but the family is all over Jilin. Although it doesn't harm the wife and children, it's always a worry, isn't it? It's better to avoid things that can be avoided. Leave a ray of favor so that we can meet each other easily in the future. Besides, it’s not like you have any deep grudge against the young marshal and the others. It’s not a big deal to surrender to the Feng clan. Who can you hang out with just to make ends meet? Moreover, the Fengxian system was gradually formed after accommodating many forces.
As soon as this was said, many people echoed it. Speaking of which, it was not Zhang Zuolin who took away Governor Meng Enyuan, but Bao Guiqing! Although we have little contact with the Young Marshal, we don't have any bad blood, right? If you want to complain, it's only the high priests who have complaints.
Seeing that everyone who usually agreed with him had their own plans, Mr. Gao knew something was going to happen. Don't look at these people who call each other brothers in front of them, but behind the scenes they are not thinking about exchanging other people's heads for money! He made up his mind to talk to Zhang Hanqing first. It would be best if he could leave peacefully.
"The morale of the army has been weakened. If we continue to remain in a stalemate, our lives will be in danger." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Gao Shibi proposed the peaceful surrender of Changchun, but allowed him to lead his troops to withdraw to Jidong and station them on the border between China and North Korea. Zhang Hanqing agreed to this condition very neatly: Yes, but the condition is that Gao Brigade will not cause trouble to the place when he retreats. Otherwise, the previous paragraph will be invalid, and the Security Headquarters will still declare them as rebels.
Gao Shibi, who wanted to leave the encirclement and join forces with Lu Yonggui, agreed. Therefore, Wu Junsheng was ordered to return to the Black Province and let Gao Shibi pass by on the road.
Everything is under control, fight with your heart and win. As long as Gao Shibi left the South Manchuria Railway lines in Changchun, Gongzhuling, and Siping, which might bring the Japanese in, the rest of the matter would be easy to discuss.
“Ahem, why should I care about the feelings of Japanese people? He felt ashamed that he was an angry young man but was constrained by realistic conditions and had to adapt to the situation. From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Hanqing did not want to offend the Japanese at this time and add some variables to his career. But the ancients said: A little impatience will mess up a big plan. Before you have absolute strength, you will not show your courage. At this time, he somewhat understood why the mighty China made concessions in the South China Sea when it was suppressed by many small countries in the official history.
Strength determines everything.
Now the Northeast has a chance to be connected. This is a very good prospect, and the pace is at least one year faster than in the official history. Wait until you can free your hands and wait and see!
During the vigorous campaign in Northeast China, the political situation in Beijing once again underwent major changes. Acting President Feng Guozhang stepped down and Xu Shichang took over. Feng is the standard boss of the Zhili clan, and Xu is the important general of the Beiyang clan. Their change of positions has brought about drastic changes in China.
First, Sun Yat-sen expressed his opposition because Zhang Xun dissolved the first Congress after his restoration. After Duan Qirui re-established the Republic, it was not restored because Congress opposed participation in the European War. Instead, he established the Provisional Senate on Liang Qichao's suggestion following the early days of the Revolution of 1911. Establish a new organizational law for Congress.
This is of course beneficial to Lao Duan. No, because the five southern provinces (Guangdong, Guangxi, Dian, Guizhou, and Sichuan) objected to being excluded. The three provinces of Hunan, Hubei, and Shaanxi were unable to conduct elections normally due to war, so the actual elections were held. There are only fourteen provinces.
Of course, there was a lot of corruption and cheating during the election process, which was consciously ignored by the DPRK officials. The result was that the Anfu Department supported by Duan Qirui won an absolute majority of 330 seats, the old Transportation Department 120 seats, and the Research Department more than 20 seats. According to the rules, the Anfu faction can choose the president they like.
Former acting president Feng Guozhang was at odds with Prime Minister Duan Qirui, and the feud between the government and the court lasted for more than a year. Feng's term as acting president expired, and Feng and Duan agreed to step down together.
Xu Shichang’s ability to take over is inseparable from Duan Qirui’s support. In October 1918, Xu Shichang was elected president by the Anfu Congress controlled by the Anhui Clique. He advertised "Yanwu Xiuwen" and ordered a ceasefire against the South.
Immediately after the expiration of the first Congress, the Provisional Senate was naturally dissolved because it had completed its historical "mission", and the Anfu Congress was formally established. Its leaders Wang Yitang is the speaker of the House of Representatives and Liu Enge is the deputy speaker; the speaker of the Senate is Liang Shiyi and Zhu Qiqian is the deputy speaker. They are the leaders of the transportation department.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Feng Guozhang, the acting president of the direct line, has always been at a disadvantage in the government-yuan dispute. Everyone just tolerated it. Now even the title of "president" as a fig leaf has been taken away and replaced by Xu Shichang, who seems to be neutral but is actually biased towards the Anhui clique. Many knowledgeable people in the Zhili Clique expressed their dissatisfaction with this method of boiling frogs in warm water. General Wu Peifu of the Zhili Clique turned on electricity in Hengyang on September 13 and refused to recognize the presidential election of the Anfu Congress.
Wu Peifu fought bravely on the southern front and was the hope of "unification". His dissatisfaction may lead to bad things. In order to appease him, Duan Qirui told the Anfu Club to operate secretly and plan to elect Cao Kun as vice president. Cao Kun is Wu Peifu's boss and benefactor. If Cao Kun is dealt with, Wu Peifu will be speechless. However, due to boycotts by members of the Research Department, the Old Transportation Department and some Anfu Department members, the vice presidential campaign was aborted due to insufficient quorum.
Under the instigation of Zhang Hanqing, a senior adviser, Zhang Zuolin had already adopted the policy of "no matter what happens inside the customs, I will just sit back and watch outside" and stepped up the pace of regaining power in the three northeastern provinces. As soon as Gao Shibi left Changchun, he transferred the three newly established infantry brigades that were undergoing training into Jilin and officially assigned them to the Jilin Security Command.
At the same time, another new recruit brigade was placed under the jurisdiction of the Heilongjiang Security Command. At the same time, Song Jiuling's mixed brigade and the original Jilin mixed brigade also joined it. In this way, the security headquarters of the three northeastern provinces each have three brigades of troops under their jurisdiction. At the same time, the Jilin troops were transferred away from their original bases and the new troops were unfamiliar to the place. As for how to play in the future, follow the usual thinking of Lao and Xiao Zhang, you know.
Naturally, Bao Guiqing, the governor of Jilin, is also the security commander of Jilin, and Sun Liechen, the governor of Heilongjiang, is also the commander-in-chief of security in Jilin.Served as the security commander of Heilongjiang.
Since it is a local security force, there is no need to retain heavy artillery. The artillery battalion of the Jilin Mixed Brigade was therefore separated from the organizational structure and was incorporated into Zhang Jinghui's 16th Division - this new division did not yet have artillery.
Continuing the independent spirit of the previous military governors, Zhang Zuolin proposed to the Central Committee: Northeast autonomy and the establishment of autonomous governments for the three northeastern provinces.
This is a big deal for Duan Qirui: the original local autonomy of the military governor was just to counter the president's peace strategy. Now times have changed, and the country has been nominally unified in the hands of the new Beiyang regime headed by Xu Shichang. It was when the central government took over power, but Zhang Zuolin went the other way and instituted "autonomy." But Lao Zhang is really stupid. , or are you really stupid?
Regardless of whether the central government agrees or not, the signs of the autonomous governments of the three northeastern provinces have been put up. Not surprisingly, Zhang Zuolin was elected as Chairman of the Autonomous Government of the Three Northeastern Provinces. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to resign from the post of patrol envoy to the Three Northeastern Provinces and Fengtian Warlord appointed by the Central Committee.
The Northeast was finally unified, and Zhang Hanqing's revival plan was fully implemented. In order to fully control the industrial economy of the three provinces, the original committees in Fenghei were upgraded to the affairs committees in the three eastern provinces. Committees on industry, agriculture, commerce, transportation, education, finance, justice, police, construction, and water conservancy were sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Later, the structure of the ministries and commissions was changed in order to avoid the current names of the central ministries. In addition, the supreme courts and procuratorates of the three northeastern provinces were also established in a grand manner. In a word, Zhang Zuolin's autonomy has reached the highest state of self-governance.
The organizations of various committees have their duties, and the provinces in the Northeast are running smoothly. In addition, they are all old and handsome people. Therefore, a rare situation of peace in the Northeast military and political community has a rare situation. At this time, the benefits of the last financial reform in Fengtian finally showed up. After vigorous rectification, Northeast China's finances improved considerably: not only had foreign debts of 4 million yuan been paid off, but there was still 11 million yuan in provincial inventory. This made Zhang Zuolin feel that financial crises were looming. situation no longer exists. Two pieces of good news gave Zhang Zuolin the confidence to declare Northeastern autonomy.

Chapter 311 Attack from both sides

President Xu Shichang has nothing to do about this, because Duan Qirui, who is hiding behind the scenes, has nothing to do either. Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, China has been integrating into the world at an even faster pace, and all kinds of novel terms have been pouring into the country at an accelerated pace. Not only are they not criticized, but they are being labeled as innovations. Zhang Zuolin insisted on setting up a committee between the central ministries and the provincial departments, and no one else could say it was wrong? After all, Lao Zhang has not yet raised the banner of anti-Republic of China. People claim to the outside world that he is reforming.
If it weren’t for the sudden banditry, Zhang Zuolin would have devoted his energy to the large-scale Northeast economic revitalization plan proposed by Zhang Hanqing.
Therefore, the Jilin Second Mixed Brigade, as a close friend, has become the number one worry for Lao and Xiao Zhang and his son, and they cannot get rid of it quickly. Therefore, Lao Zhang unconditionally supported Zhang Hanqing's deployment of troops and generals.
He was the first to know and seriously study Zhang Hanqing's military plan, and for the first time he truly recognized the eldest son's military ability. In the war, Zhang Hanqing relied on Guo Songling and Han Linchun before, but now he relies on tactics, but Lao Zhang admires the current Zhang Hanqing very much, because this is the real handsome man. The way to be a general is to strategize rather than to show off your courage.
Zhang Zuoxiang was also very pleased. He laughed and said to Zhang Zuolin: "Commander, are you still worried that Xiao Liuzi doesn't have enough overall view? He successfully avoided the constraints of the Japanese and was able to drive Gao Shibi out of his nest. He has grown up. What an exquisite heart! I dare to conclude that before long, Gao Shibi will be captured!"
But Gao Shijie is not an easy person to deal with. After all, he knows soldiers. When he evacuated Changchun, he gave full play to his military achievements. In order to prevent changes in the Jilin Security Command, he arranged a large number of sentries to observe the movements of Fengjun's three divisions along the way, fully ensuring that even if Fengjun dispatched a battalion, they would be in place. Fortunately, the young marshal valued his reputation very much and did what he said, and did not arrange for the troops to engage in outflanking, cover-up and other bad actions.
?? And Heilongjiang’s Wu Junsheng 29th Division really went to Heilongjiang. On the more than 120 kilometers from Changchun to Jilin (city), there was no accident. This surprised Gao Shibi, the pioneer officer.
In fact, there is no need to be surprised. There is the Jilin-Changchun Railway Line built by the Japanese, which is considered the Japanese sphere of influence. The Jilin Security Command, which does not want to interact with the Japanese, has no intention of fighting Gao Brigade here.
In order to avoid a long night and many dreams, Master Gao still ordered to march quickly. It was not safe until Huichun. He issued an order that the second regiment and artillery battalion, which were the remaining guard baggage, should take a short rest in Changchun City before following up with the main force the next day. In order to prevent accidents, Gao Shibi always moved one regiment first to open up the situation, and then followed up with another regiment to switch defenses, leaving one regiment to guard the retreat at the previous station. This is safer, but the traveling speed will inevitably be slowed down. Fortunately, his special agent battalion kept an eye on the movements of the three Fengjun divisions, and reported back that Fengjun was in the process of repairing after entering Changchun, and only when he had no intention of pursuing, did he feel that the world was at peace.
But when he learned from the front that an army stationed in Jiaohe County was from the Guards Division, he was inexplicably shocked: Why did this army appear? The news brought by Uncle Meng Enyuan yesterday also said that the Guard Division was fighting Lu Yonggui in Tonghua! Did his uncle lie to him? Otherwise, no matter what, with the capabilities of the modern army, unless we fly in one day and one night, we will never make it from Tonghua to Jiaohe!
He has done quite a lot of research on the Guards Division. Since its famous battle against bandits, he has noticed that this new army is not very well-equipped, but has a very high combat morale. Although he didn't ask about Zhang Hanqing's other abilities, he still admired the young marshal for being able to build such a stylish army in a short period of time. He also decided to leave Changchun when he heard that the Guard Division was far away in Tonghua, because he was afraid that the Guard Division would make dumplings for him from the south again.
In a sense, Meng Enyuan did not lie to him, because Lao Meng was also deceived.
The guard divisions came to suppress the bandits, and they did not concentrate on them, because considering the dispersed nature of the bandits, no matter how large a group of bandits was, it was impossible for them to eat up the organized regiment. The four regiments under the Guards Division were divided into areas respectively. This regiment was designated by Guo Songling in the Songhua Lake area. It also had the intention of blocking Gao Shibing's retreat.
From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Hanqing was unwilling to have an army independent of the Feng clan in Jilin. He used a series of tricks to show weakness and attack people's hearts, just to get Gao Shiji to withdraw from the important town of Changchun, so as to achieve the purpose of pursuit and suppression. Considering Gao Shibi's suspicion and Wu Jun's goal of advancing to the division was too obvious, the troops encircling and suppressing him wandered far away and did not deploy troops nearby. This is also the reason why Gao Shibi had no obstruction and was unable to detect the movements of the Feng army. location.
He definitely had some tactical skills, but Zhang Hanqing relied on a large number of troops for strategic deployment. When this big network hasWhen the situation began to tighten one after another, Gao Jun was completely kept in the dark.
Therefore, Gao Shibi originally decided to advance together with the main force and cover up the enemy in Jidong. After careful consideration, he decided to garrison the Jiaohe River on the spot. This was the only way to Huichun and the fastest passage.
There is a blockage in front, and the pursuers should not be far behind. Gao Shibi keenly felt that the troops of the Jilin Security Command must be watching his tail somewhere behind, and now the survival of his baggage troops and artillery battalion was in danger. If there is still something to rely on when joining forces, now a mixed brigade in a long snake formation may be beaten head and tail. The key is that he does not dare to fight for a long time.
Sure enough, before the messenger sent to the rear team reported back, fierce gunfire broke out from the rear. The third regiment that followed reported back and found that an unidentified army had raided and cut off its connection with the rear route. The gunshots were caused by the exchange of fire between the two sides.
Although this army has a small number of people, it is rare to be equipped with at least a dozen machine guns, and its firepower is quite fierce. The key is that they are not following the third regiment in pursuit, but making defensive preparations on the spot. This makes the third regiment think that their task should be to block Gao Jun's return route for reinforcements.
Gao Shibi fell into a fierce struggle. Forget about the baggage, the key is the artillery battalion, which is the magic weapon of the mixed brigade, and he still hopes to rely on it to make a comeback. However, returning to the rescue route dozens of miles away was, firstly, beyond our capabilities, and secondly, beyond our reach. If they were defeated in the rear and they turned around and got into Fengjun's circle again, they would lose everything.
However, the artillery battalion is too important. Just like Luocao, setting up a few cannons in the deep mountains will cause great trouble to the enemies attacking the mountains! It was not a last resort, but Gao Shibi was still unwilling to give up the rescue, even though it might get him into trouble. However, this risk is worth taking!
This decision almost ruined the entire mixed brigade. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 312 Encirclement and Annihilation War
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
If Gao Shibi knew that the cavalry regiment of the Guard Division was also nearby, he would definitely rush out of the blockade of the previous regiment at all costs and save his life first. Two regiments versus one regiment, elite versus elite, they still had an advantage in numbers. If they escaped regardless, the cavalry regiment of the Guard Division might not be able to stop them.
As soon as his troops moved, so did the infantry regiments of the Guards Division. But what is irritating is that the Guards Division just sticks up, but is not eager to fight. Even so, Gao Shibi did not dare to let the whole group retreat, otherwise it would definitely turn into a big rout. He could only detach one battalion for surveillance, and he personally led the main force of the other two battalions to the center to command the breakthrough.
Until now, he still doesn’t know that his opponent is Ji Yiqiao.
Not long ago, the special operations brigade caused a fight between the Jilin garrison and the Japanese soldiers in Kuanchengzi, and then penetrated into central Jilin. At first, it was not there to wipe out the Gao Brigade, but to prevent the Japanese from taking the opportunity to do something evil again.
Japan has always been the vanguard in taking advantage of China's civil strife. After building and controlling the Changji Railway, the Japanese are still planning to extend it to Huichun to open up a land transportation line to the Sea of ??Japan and provide a way for the future of the three eastern provinces. Prepare for penetration. You know, Japan is very powerful in Huichun, and it was here that the "Jiandao Incident" was encouraged by the Koreans.
Zhang Hanqing would not let Gao Shibi escape there. Otherwise, if the war broke out, the Japanese would have more excuses to "protect the overseas Chinese" and step up their penetration of the place. Therefore, Master Gao must be stopped!
In this battle, all special operations teams were dispatched.
As the saying goes, it’s like fighting a wolf with a stick—both sides are afraid. Zhang Hanqing's judgment was that although Gao Shibi had a large number of troops, he still worried about the power of the Japanese. He dared to blatantly resist the Central Committee, and repeatedly encouraged the warlord Meng Enyuan to confront his immediate boss Zhang Zuolin. However, as soon as the Japanese spoke out, Meng Enyuan resigned obediently as proof.
In this way, he would never dare to fight near the South Manchuria Railway line controlled by Japan, especially in Changchun, although he would not dare to fight in consideration of Fengjun. The result is that you must wait for the price to sell, if not, you must flee.
Fengtian is Zhang Zuolin’s base camp and the most powerful. Running there is seeking death. Heilongjiang is sparsely populated and is a good place to escape, but because Fengjun has two divisions there, they are mainly concentrated at the junction with Jilin. Mr. Gao was not familiar with the place, so he would not go here.
Only the southeastern part of Jilin, where the government control has always been weak, and where the Lu Yonggui gang can be emboldened, his inevitable way out is to escape there. Jilin, Jiaohe, Dunhua, Antu, Yanji, and Huichun are the closest roads, so the special operations brigade stayed here waiting for a head-on attack.
This battle of annihilation was the first breakthrough in Zhang Hanqing's military command career. It also had many shining points and was admired by the new and old generals of the Fengjun Army.
The previous battle to annihilate Babu Zabu relied on the fearless spirit of the Guards Brigade officers and soldiers who were not afraid of sacrifice, and basically had nothing to do with technology and tactics. Moreover, Zhang Zuolin deployed many heavy weapons in order to highlight his eldest son's military exploits. Needless to say, mountain artillery. At that time, all the machine guns of an infantry regiment of the 27th Division were mobilized. This formed an absolute firepower advantage. Coupled with the absolute advantage of personnel, it achieved the reputation of the young marshal.
The decisive battle with Gao Shibi relies on fighting spirit and the ability to grasp the current situation. When all parties were helpless and the coach was transferred, it was Zhang Hanqing who made the final decision. He skillfully used Zhang Zongchang to cut off Gao Shibi's wings, thus damaging Gao Brigade's morale. When Gao Shijie was led away by the nose, it was Zhang Hanqing again. Relying on the correct positioning of the guard division and special operations brigade, Gao Brigade was contained within the narrow distance of a hundred miles between Jilin and Jiaohe.
It was the 28th Division that caught Gao Brigade's rear troops. The experienced Ji Jinchun seized the opportunity well after learning about Zhang Hanqing's military plan. After a long period of harmless tailing, he quickly launched an attack.
As a strong force in the Northeast with basically the same combat power as the 27th Division, Ji Jinchun ordered the entire division to launch a non-stop charge at the battalion level, not allowing his artillery battalion to have time to prepare for the battlefield. Although the tenacious Gao Brigade Second Regiment put up a desperate resistance, they could not withstand the continuous charging of Feng troops.
Zhang Hanqing's tactics for Ji Jinchun were very simple. They would bite the second regiment and prevent it from having time to help the artillery battalion as a buffer. The 28th Division's cavalry regiment would attack the Gao Brigade's artillery battalion with all its strength, at least without giving it time to set up cannons. Chance. As long as this battalion is firmly controlled, the second regiment will be defeated sooner or later.
"You can't blame Gao Shijie for receiving the information too late. It's really Zhang Hanqing who is too cunning." Feng Jun was following Gao Brigade from a distance, and spies kept reporting news, creating the illusion that there was a buffer time. But at night, Ji Jinchun quickly mobilized. The secret agent had to take a small road to avoid the large force of the 28th Division, thus almost keeping pace with the Feng army. Almost at the same time that the secret agent reported back to the second regiment, Feng Jun had already pounced.Come up.
Because at this time, the Beiyang soldiers were still in the formation, fire test, and infantry charge stages, which would give both sides a lot of time to arrange their troops. Ji Jinchun, on the other hand, did the opposite. He made a sudden change and used the advantage of many people to charge directly.
At the beginning, the 28th Division also suffered unprecedented losses, and the first battalion was almost completely lost. The Gao Brigade is a well-equipped and strong defensive force, and theoretically has a certain advantage over the Feng Army. But Ji Jinchun knew that once his artillery battalion was in place, its losses would not be as simple as one battalion. So when one battalion lost its combat effectiveness, another battalion rushed forward, and at the same time, the replacement battalion next to it was already in place.
When the cavalry regiment rushed into the high-level brigade artillery camp from all directions, the opposing artillerymen were hurriedly setting up cannons and immediately suffered huge losses. How can the artillery battalion with light and short weapons be the opponent of the proud cavalry in mobile warfare? After an infantry company responsible for peripheral security was crushed, most of the artillerymen fled. A few unwilling artillerymen still fired a few rounds, but in their haste, the landing points were extremely poor. Just launch.
????????????????????????????????????????? But by mistake, these few gunshots made Gao Shibi think that the situation was under control, and he became more determined to preserve the artillery battalion. The more fierce the special operations brigade responsible for blocking the attack became, and the more intense the gunshots coming from the direction of Jilin City, the more he thought there was a chance to do so.
But this time it was Gao Shibi's army attacking, and the special operations brigade was responsible for the defense. The offensive and defensive momentum shifted, and it was Gao Lu's turn to suffer.
With the same charge regardless of gains and losses, the first regiment of Gao Brigade began its journey to death. After enduring a hail of bullets from dozens of tongues of fire, most of the company responsible for the attack was lost. The rest were also suppressed by the firepower and could not lift their heads, and hid behind the stone trees one after another.
Because after nearly two years of training, the strength of the special operations brigade has fully improved. Both individual soldier quality and cooperative combat are their strengths, and their firepower is also armed to the teeth: the battalion-level brigade has three infantry companies with 27 machine guns, one heavy machine gun company with six heavy machine guns, and an infantry Artillery platoon.
They suddenly broke out and occupied the main road after the troops in the middle of the Gao Brigade left. Since they were not fighting the third regiment in the middle of the Gao Brigade, the first reaction of the third regiment was to quickly withdraw to join the troops in front instead of turning back to fight. This gave the special forces some time to set up defensive positions. Although Gao Shibi only had less than half an hour from receiving the news to making a decision, it was enough.
Gao Shijie was extremely anxious. The purpose of the enemies on the opposite side was obvious, which was to prevent him from returning to join the battle group. Thinking that his side had only one regiment and the other side had two divisions joining him continuously, and the longer the delay was, the better it would be for Fengjun. He couldn't help but order his men: "Use machine guns to suppress the opponent's firepower, and the infantry will rush over with all their strength!" With an order, officers and soldiers from another company rushed forward, and at the same time, machine guns from Gao Jun's position also fired.
Rushing over is easier said than done! In the plains where there are no artillery, the power of the machine gun is very obvious. The machine gun position of the special operations brigade, which has been reinforced with fortifications, is far from being easily suppressed by the machine guns of the hasty Gaojun army. The officers and soldiers of the new company, who believed that they had been protected, had just rushed less than twenty steps towards their forward position. The machine guns hidden in the reinforced position thirty meters behind the special operations brigade's forward position also rang out, and the bodies of hundreds of people were suddenly destroyed. He was beaten like a honeycomb, lying on his back on the battlefield.
Imagine the power of more than thirty light and heavy machine guns roaring together on a narrow terrain. The officers and soldiers of the two companies that had been disabled learned from the past. The officers behind them no longer dared to die. They all looked towards Gao Shibi: "Brigadier Commander, the enemy's firepower is too fierce and our army's casualties are too heavy. We can't charge like this anymore!"
Gao Shibi insisted on persisting, but seeing with his own eyes the heavy casualties and the strength of the special operations brigade, he thought that even if it took a huge cost to break through this blocking line, the rear army would probably not be able to save him, and might even endanger himself. He also fell in. He let out a long sigh, looked at the vague and continuous gunshots in the distance, stamped his feet and said: "I can't control it anymore. After leaving one camp behind, everyone will return to attack the Feng army in the south. If we can't defeat it, we will be a bunch of people." Everyone is going to die here!" He mobilized the guard company as a supervising team and directed his men to rush forward desperately.
Ji Yiqiao's special operations brigade excelled a lot in defense, but facing a battalion deferred by Gao Jun, their offensive strength was not enough. First of all, the power of the mobile machine gun position is far less than that of the defense - the machine gun is produced for defensive suppression rather than for charge, and the assault | gun is convenient for the offense. In addition, Gao Shibi also left more than ten machine guns for defense. Under the intensive defense of Gao Jun, the terrain was favorable to Gao Jun again this time, and the special operations brigade did not have many options. But fortunately, its current function is to hold back Gao Jun, preventing them from having the opportunity to retreat calmly or attack the Guards Division with all their strength. Therefore, although there were not many ways to attack, Gao Jun's battalion was tightly contained, and Gao Shibi was always worried about the way back, and only wanted to let the troops rush forward.
Gao Jun, who fought his last battle, fully demonstrated his extremely strong combat effectiveness, putting the blocking Guard Division under the greatest pressure since its formation. Fortunately, the guard divisions were waiting for work and had the opportunity to build some fortifications, which alleviated the advantage of having more soldiers. The Gao army surged up like a tide, and the Guards Division built dikes layer by layer to erode the water. The two sides were fighting hard, and both sides were complaining endlessly. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Worrying about the way back, they only care about life and death and let the troops rush forward.

Chapter 315 Japan wants to intervene in the Middle East Route

What kind of cooperation can benefit both sides? Is it good for you, Japan? What’s wrong with Ji, Feng, and Meng being integrated into one body? Isn’t it convenient for you Japanese to infiltrate north? Zhang Zuolin said with a smile: "Mr. Yoshida, isn't it just a loan? It's worth your coming in person!"
Yoshida Shigeru smiled and said: "The loan is not a big deal, but the general's attitude towards the Japanese is the key point."
Zhang Hanqing interjected: "Mr. Yoshida, my father's relationship with Japanese friends is well known and there is no doubt about it. It's just that my father has just taken control of the three northeastern provinces and is confused among thousands of things. Coupled with the financial constraints, he has no interest in borrowing money." . This loan will have to be repaid by the National Unification Committee in the future."
???????????????????????????But it seems that the relationship between Lao Zhang and the Japanese is not very good, right?
Yoshida Shigeru then said: "If the general feels that the borrowing costs are too high, Yoshida can find ways to accommodate. The general can use low-interest loans or extend the repayment time. In this way, the pressure of repayment in the future will be much less. I don't know what the general wants. ?”
Oh, do you also put a long -term fishing fish. One more day for the Japanese to stay, and one more day for us to suffer. Zhang Zuolin said without hesitation: "The 'Zhengbai Railway' is too remote and will not be of great benefit to Jilin's construction. The limited money must be spent wisely, and I have other plans."
Yoshida Shigeru saw that he could not get through to Zhang Zuolin, and at this time there was no sufficient reason to ask Zhang Zuolin to surrender, so he had to say: "General, please think twice. However, the terms of building the fifth Manchuria-Mongolia railway are still valid. As long as the general wants to build a railway in the Northeast, we will still wait." Good news.”
His words were neither salty nor cold, but the implication was very clear: These railways have been planned by the Japanese a long time ago. If you want to bypass us in the Northeast and work alone, there is no way.
Zhang Zuolin knew what he meant, and there was no need to be quick-tongued. He said calmly: "Please wait, there will be good news in the future."
The Japanese have planned Fengtian and half of Jilin. If they really want to build a railway from scratch, it will be difficult to bypass the five railway routes designated by the Japanese. However, Zhang Hanqing had no intention of competing with the Japanese in these places. His eyes had turned to the north, where there were more pressing matters than building railways.
The October Revolution was a historic event of far-reaching significance that occurred in the vast Tsarist Russian Empire in distant Eastern Europe. It also had a profound impact on China, which was thousands of miles away. Zhang Hanqing is determined to use this rare opportunity to speed up Fengjun's development.
There is no need to elaborate on the cause, but this is the period of modern history that Zhang Hanqing is most familiar with - this is the result of endless political education from primary school to university before time travel. As far as he knew, Soviet Russia experienced the first difficult stage and the first great famine.
At the end of the First World War, after the October Revolution broke out in Russia in 1917, the Russian government collapsed. The Bolsheviks established the Soviet government and ceased war with Germany. On March 6, 1918, the Soviet Union and Germany signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, ceding land in exchange for peace, thereby stabilizing Germany's attack on Soviet Russia.
But this move also angered various forces that opposed the Bolsheviks in the Soviet Union and abroad. Winston Churchill once said that the Bolsheviks must be "strangled in the cradle." The fear of the proletarian revolutionary movement and the desire to plunder unite the capitalist world in hatred of the Soviet state and its huge revolutionary influence on the working class of bourgeois countries and the oppressed masses in colonies and semi-colonies, and attempt to eliminate this revolution ’s birthplace.
Therefore, while the Soviet foothold was not yet stable, the old forces of Tsarist Russia, opponents of the Soviet regime (the White Army), and overseas imperialist countries took action together, resulting in what is known in history as the Soviet Civil War or the War of Intervention against the Soviet Union. The three-year civil war (the remaining war extended for 2 years) was also called the "Civil War and Armed Intervention from 1917 to 1922" in the Soviet Union.
On March 15, 1918, a joint meeting of Prime Ministers and Foreign Ministers of the Allied Powers held in London adopted a resolution on "joint intervention in eastern Russia." At the end of May, the Czechoslovak Legion, composed of World War I prisoners of war, fired the first shot of the civil war against the Soviet Republic under the planning of the Allied Powers. The army quickly expanded from 20,000 to more than 60,000, and supported counterrevolutionary forces in various parts of the east, established a number of counterrevolutionary governments, and established a number of counterrevolutionary armed forces.
At the same time, the old Russian generals Krasnov, Alexeev, Denikin and others, supported by Germany, were also gathering counter-revolutionary armed forces in southern Russia, waiting for opportunities to invade the Don River, Kuban, and Caucasus.
By the summer of 1918, the Soviet Republic was facing a severe situation surrounded by foreign armed interventionists and Russian counter-revolutionary forces. They successively occupied large areas such as Ukraine, part of the Volga River Basin, the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Urals, Siberia and the Far East, and almost equivalent to soviet republicThree-quarters of the country's territory has formed several fronts in the east, south, north and Caucasus, stretching for more than 10,000 kilometers. At this time, there were a total of more than 700,000 White troops across the entire front, who were well-equipped and well-trained.
The Soviet Republic, under military siege and economic blockade, faced great difficulties: its connection with the southern grain-producing areas was cut off, its industry collapsed, kulaks who opposed the grain monopoly policy continued to riot, famine spread, and the people suffered from hunger.
With the confrontation between the old and new forces, the Soviet Union’s national strength has weakened, and Russia’s old forces in China have been given an opportunity to cleanse themselves. In particular, the Middle East Route, which is a symbol of sovereignty and has great economic and military value, has a great opportunity to be easily obtained without any effort. But in the official history, it did not go well for various reasons.
The Middle East Route was the concrete product of Tsarist Russia’s invasion of Northeast China. After Russia forced the late Qing government to cede the Far East, it extended its black hands to the Northeast. Since the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, Japan defeated China, the Asian leader for thousands of years, and annexed North Korea, it has also set its sights on the Northeast. The dispute between the two countries is known in history as the "Russian-Japanese War" over the competition for Port Arthur in China. In this dog-eat-dog dispute on Chinese territory, the late Qing government shamelessly declared "neutrality"!
After the Russo-Japanese War, although Japan won, it was purely a fluke. In addition to the huge mistakes in naval command, one of the important reasons for Russia's defeat was the inability of the army to obtain effective logistical supplies, because at that time Russia's Trans-Siberian Railway Not yet completed. Even after the huge defeat in Northeast China, Russia, which was stubborn and unyielding, was still unable to force Japan, a new powerful country.
Japan, which suffered a tragic victory, mobilized the whole country and was almost on the verge of bankruptcy. It finally defeated the polar bear, but did not receive any compensation from Russia. With no other choice, the two countries reluctantly passed an agreement to jointly manage Northeast China, which is the infamous "Portsmouth Treaty" in history. According to the treaty, Russia transferred the Kanto Prefecture and the railway from Changchun to Lushunkou (later renamed the South Manchuria Railway) and all corresponding privileges to Japan. Changchun became the dividing point between Japanese and Russian forces.
Russia still has a sphere of influence in Heilongjiang, and "shares management" with China of the railways from Changchun to Harbin and from Manzhouli to Suifenhe, namely the North Manchuria Railway, also known as the Middle East Railway. In the "Eastern Railway Treaty" and the "Additional Treaty of Portsmouth Peace", it was stipulated that Russia could only station police but not troops along the railway. However, "for the purpose of protecting the railway, (Japan and Russia) two countries, regarding the Manchuria Railway, There must be twenty-five fully equipped soldiers per kilometer." After the European War, most of the 30,000 Russian troops stationed in Harbin and the 60,000 troops guarding the Middle East Road were transferred to Europe. The remaining troops were divided into the old and the new parties, and the conflict was fierce.
The Japanese militarists had long had ambitions for the Russian Far East and the northeastern and northern parts of our country that were still under the control of the Soviet Union. So they took advantage of the fact that the Soviet Union was busy dealing with the war in Europe and had no time to look eastward. They used the excuse of rescuing the Czech army to launch a campaign of war between the United States and Britain under the pretext of rescuing the Czech army. Under the pretext of joint intervention, France and Japan launched a long-planned war of aggression. Its purpose is to monopolize the Soviet Far East region and create Japan's puppet regime, so as to bring the Soviet Far East region into Japan's sphere of influence.
Japan is at the forefront of intervention by other countries. In order to carry out this war of aggression, Japan's active military and reserve forces were mobilized, and the so-called Vladivostok Expeditionary Army Headquarters was specially organized. A declaration of dispatch of troops was issued on August 2, 1918, kicking off the war of aggression.
The situation in Soviet Russia at that time was that there were only 300,000 regular troops before and after Japan sent troops, and they were all fighting in Europe. There are only about 25,000 irregular troops in the Far East. What is particularly noteworthy is that when Japan sent troops, the Siberian Railway, except for the Ussuri and Amur sections, was under the control of anti-Soviet forces. Therefore, the Soviets were unable and unable to support the Far East at the beginning or even the middle of the Japanese invasion. of.
After the Japanese occupied Vladivostok, they could rely on the long Far East Railway to reach the Siberian hinterland of Soviet Russia. There was no need to do what they said: "Soviet Russia is extremely deep. Starting from the corner of Vladivostok in the Far East is certainly not as good as North Manchuria, which is closer to the hinterland of Siberia." The line comes quickly and supplies are easy to obtain.” The Japanese government's wishful thinking is that as long as I board this railway, because I help China "recover" lost territory, I will naturally enjoy the fruits of victory.
If he takes this opportunity to stay here and refuse to leave, the Chinese government will not dare to send troops to expel him, right? Over time, after a fait accompli was created, he had enough excuses to really stay here: to protect the expatriates, to maintain public order Anyway, you don't dare to say anything about whatever is good to hear!
In this way, the entire Heilongjiang is under the control of the Japanese. In particular, by controlling this railway, the perfect integration of the South and North Manchuria railways can be achieved.
“If China could gain control of the Middle East Route earlier, it would be able to limit Japan’s actions in Northern Manchuria under the pretext of interfering with Soviet Russia, and Heilongjiang could also become a stable rear for the Fengtian clique. However, at this point, there are many opinions within Fengjun: No one would have expected that the situation would take a turn for the worse and become out of control! And if the Japanese and Western devils work together, the fragile governments of the three northeastern provinces may not be able to withstand it! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The provincial government may not be able to withstand it! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 317 Taking advantage of your illness to kill you

This is a bit like an undeclared war, but Zhang Hanqing did it anyway.
This is the first time that Chinese people can feel proud on their own territory. Looking at it, Harbin and even the entire cities on Jingdong Road looked very chaotic due to the change of ownership. However, when the Feng army moved in one after another and the managers sent by the inspection embassy offices of the three eastern provinces to take over the power were stationed one after another, the whole line began to burst out. vitality.
After the fait accompli, on September 23 of this year, Zhang Hanqing announced on behalf of the central government that he would stop the treatment of the old Russian envoys, establish a local prosecutorial office and a higher prosecutorial office (i.e. court) in Harbin, and set up local prosecutors along the road. The chamber shall administer all proceedings between Russia and the non-contractual states. Later, it was announced that the Municipal Administration Bureau of the Eastern Province Special Region would be established in Harbin. Zhang Hanqing means that he will choose an opportunity to move the capital of Heilongjiang Province from Qiqihar to Harbin in the future.
Qiqihar is too far to the north, and its economy is far inferior to Harbin. Moreover, Harbin is in a "t" shape and guards the Middle East Road and the South-Manchuria Railway, so its geographical location is very important. As the provincial capital, it is easy to garrison heavy troops here, firstly to guard against the Japanese, and secondly to prepare in advance for changes in the Far East.
Looking at the changes in the world, the war between the Far East Intervention Forces and the new Soviet government is inevitable.
His big moves naturally attracted the attention of all parties, especially Horvato, who was forcefully deprived of management rights. Almost before and after Zhang Hanqing announced that he would take back the Middle East Road, he had requested talks many times. After the administrative rights of the Harbin Railway Annex were taken back by China, he became even more eager to visit.
What are you talking about? It only makes sense to talk with the new Soviet Russian government! Without counting on his fingers, Zhang Hanqing also knows who will own the Russian world in the future.
But now the Soviets have not been able to control the Far East, not even Siberia. Before the old Russian troops entrenched there were eliminated, and before the Far East Intervention Force was formed, entered, fought, and failed, his words still had some weight here.
So Zhang Hanqing took the time to meet him once.
Speaking of which, Huoerwatuo is also a good person and knows who is in charge of the Middle East Road. He did not go to the upright Heilongjiang Governor Sun Liechen, but asked for an audience with the young marshal by name.
"Mr. Marshal, on behalf of the Russian government, I would like to express my strong protest against your unauthorized change of the situation on the Middle East Road!" As soon as they met, he yelled to put pressure on Zhang Hanqing. Although the name of the young marshal has been resounding throughout the Northeast, when you meet him and see him so young, you will inevitably despise him - how can such a young person come to take charge? It’s definitely nepotism!
Because Zhang Hanqing is only 18 years old this year, it is normal to look young.
However, Zhang Hanqing did not tolerate him, and choked him back with one sentence: "Mr. Holtow, I just want to ask one thing, where is the current Russian government?"
This is the most painful thing for Khortova, but he has to face it because the government he is talking about, the family of its supreme leader, Russian Tsar Nicholas II, is rumored to have been in Yekaterinburg. The family was wiped out. Prior to this, the Russian Provisional Government had been forcibly dissolved by the Soviet regime. In other words, Russia has changed dynasties, and as a minister of the previous dynasty, he has become morally penniless.
If Zhang Hanqing does not recognize the old Russian regime.
It is not impossible. Although Western countries, Japan in the East, and the United States in North America do not recognize the new regime, what if Zhang Hanqing does recognize it? More than half a year has passed since the incident. It seems that the Chinese central government still has ill intentions towards the Soviets, but the attitude of the Northeastern separatist regime is extremely ambiguous.
"Mr. Marshal, I would like to know what is the meaning of your question? As far as I know, your government still recognizes the Kerensky coalition government!"
Kerensky was the supreme leader of the provisional government after the February Revolution, but he ran away in a car from the U.S. Embassy on the night of the October Revolution. Western countries refused to recognize the legitimacy of their acquisition of power out of fear of the Soviet power, while Zhang Hanqing completely followed his inner arrangements - it was already a fait accompli, and the Soviet Union would appear on this earth in a prosperous and majestic manner. Why bother?
"The three northeastern provinces have established autonomous governments, and we will deal with any regime that has peace and sincerity with us. For us, sincerity means peacefully releasing the sovereignty of the Middle East Road, peacefully transitioning this management power, and peacefully Get along with us. Otherwise, it is our enemy! Mr. Hortova still has a certain influence at present. We hope that you can make good use of this power and properly work with us to solve the problem of captured Russian soldiers and Russian citizens in China. The problem of return. Of course, we also have the ability and confidence to solve this problem ourselves - have tens of thousands of troops solved it?"
Zhang Hanqing said tepidly, but the words were sharp, I believe Huo Tuowa could hear it.
Originally, the Russian troops stationed in Harbin were about 30,000, and the troops guarding the Middle East Railway and the Harbin-Changchun Railway were about 60,000. After the start of World War I, most of these armies went to the battlefields of Western Europe. The remaining armies in Northern Manchuria were divided into new and old factions after the Russian Revolution. They clashed repeatedly and could not be harmonious. As the Consulate General in Harbin and Supervisor of the Middle East Road, Hortowa was the leader of the old party, but he had lost his ability to lead.
Under this circumstance, Zhang Hanqing sent his troops north, and together with Wu Junsheng and Han Linchun's troops, besieged various Russian military camps and forced them to disarm. Basically, it ended without any fighting.
Now the captured soldiers are under the control of Fengjun.
Without the support of the army and the backing of the country, Hortuowa did not have the courage to shout with Zhang Hanqing.
"Mr. Marshal, I believe that the domestic chaos in our country is temporary, and the great Russia will stand up again! There is an old Chinese saying that 'leave a thin line for people to meet you in the future'. I hope that Mr. Marshal will not hesitate on the issue of the Middle East Road. You're forcing yourself too much!" Seeing that the conversation was not going well, Hortowa actually started to threaten.
“If Zhang Hanqing hadn’t known the future situation in Russia very well, maybe he would have had concerns. But now, he can only sneer.
"I believe it! But Mr. Hortowa must also understand that the great China has also stood up again! We will fight for every inch of the territory that belongs to us! There are only two ways in front of you: continue to resist, make small moves and It won’t help, I advise you to return to the road of cooperation with us as soon as possible!”
The words are not speculative, but the words have already reached here. Struggles between countries or diplomatic negotiations are all based on strength. With nothing in his hands, Hortowa could not hide the fact that no matter how he tried to intimidate, he had no room for maneuver in the matter of the Fengcian movement taking control of the Middle East.
"Zhang Hanqing is here. How can he, who is good at judging situations and seizing power and food from the tiger's mouth, not take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune?" If I take advantage of your illness to kill you, how can I fight with you until you recover? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 320 The Situation in the Far East
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing, who knew the face of the Japanese, would not let the story repeat itself so easily. He plausibly said: "Interfering in the Far East is not a war against China. The Northeast Autonomous Government will never agree to the so-called military control of the Middle East Road! Fengjun has established provincial security headquarters. The Black Province has also specially established the 'Middle East Road Protection Command', so the transportation of various military supplies is not a problem at all. Moreover, if the limited intervention force carries out routine protection tasks on the Middle East Road, it will weaken the strength of the troops."
"As for the transportation of military supplies on the Middle East Road, it will be done according to the civilian transportation regulations. Of course, in order to support the coalition forces in Siberia, the Northeast government has halved the cost. The coalition forces can send a small number of soldiers to escort the vehicles, but they are not allowed to carry weapons. The Chinese military and police They will also be detained in the vehicle to prevent any mistakes." When it comes to the issue of sovereignty, it is better not to be too casual.
When I used your railway to suppress bandits, you tried to "escort" the Guards Brigade against all odds. Now I am following your example and helping you "escort" munitions. It's a tit-for-tat approach. This is absolutely unambiguous.
“Everyone has already sworn that there will be no problem, what else do you want? Hoshino is willing but powerless. He can't just say outright that I just want to own the China Eastern Railway, right? In this way, it is inevitable that our young commander will be hated by the Japanese.
“Whatever, if there are gains, there must be losses, and if there are losses, there must be gains. No, it offended the Japanese, but invisibly helped Soviet Russia.
After the October Revolution, in order to give the newly born Soviet regime a chance to breathe, Russia and Germany signed the Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty, successfully withdrawing from the Soviet Union on the humiliating terms of ceding millions of square kilometers of land and paying compensation of 6 billion marks. A battle. As a member of the Allied Powers, the Soviet Union's separate peace negotiation aroused serious dissatisfaction with Britain and France. Moreover, because of their hostility to the Soviet Union and their historical responsibility for weakening Russia, the United States, Britain, the Czech Republic, Japan and other countries wanted to form an intervention army and arm Belarus. The army has launched an attack on the Soviet Union's Workers' and Peasants' Red Guards.
At the same time, the Far East Intervention Force composed of the United States, Japan, Canada and other countries also began to be formed. The Soviet Russian regime had the task of falling into a war on the east and west fronts. In particular, intelligence shows that the main mission of the Far East Intervention Force is to land in Vladivostok, Temple Street, and Khabarovsk to open up railway transportation and seaports for the Czech Army and the Russian White Army in Siberia and the Urals, and gain access to Direct material support from the Allies.
Originally, the military policy set by the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party was to focus on Europe first, and only sent guerrillas to resist sporadically in Asia. It was probably the idea of ????exchanging space for time. But if the intervention forces occupy the China-Eastern Railway, they can easily move their troops to the heart of Siberia. Using the Trans-Siberian Railway, they can easily threaten any local Soviet power along the route.
Having been dealing with the Japanese for a long time, the Russians know all too well that the Japanese covet the Far East. That "going north" plan has become one of Japan's undecided national policies. Who wouldn't know about it? The Japanese occupied the southern part of Sakhalin during the Russo-Japanese War, and now they are sharpening their eyes on such fertile land in the Far East. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union had already foreseen that the future war with Japan would be a very difficult nut to crack, because the wolf would not easily change its mind about advancing northward until it was beaten to pain.
At this time, the Chinese, who had always been weak, showed rare toughness and blocked the interventionist army's attempt to use the Middle East route to quickly approach the heart of Soviet Russia in Asia. If we just land in cities such as Vladivostok and Khabarovsk, and then attack the European part of Soviet Russia step by step, we will not get good results in a year. Because their attack required the long Trans-Siberian Railway. As long as a number of guerrilla groups harass the two flanks, the intervention forces (mainly the Japanese army) without logistical security will not dare to invade in a large scale and can only encroach.
After such a long period of time, the ruling party in Soviet Russia was confident that it could recover.
As a result, their favorable impression of Zhang Hanqing greatly increased, and the Feng Faction, as an important political group, also entered the Soviet Russians' sight, even though the central government where it was located currently held a hostile attitude towards Soviet Russia.
At this time, the Duan Qirui government, as the central government, had a rare opportunity to send troops abroad to show their face, so they sent an honor guard-style troops to go abroad. The military appearance was strangely neat.
?? 661 officers and soldiers of the advance force of the Army's 9th Division, led by regimental commander Song Huanzhang, set off from Beijing on July 18; on July 24, battalion commander Su Bingwen led 667 officers and soldiers on a naval warship to Vladivostok. By October 26, six batches of more than 2,000 officers and soldiers had taken trains to Vladivostok via Harbin to participate in the intervention against Soviet Russia. The navy, consisting of the cruiser Hai Rong and its attached troops led by Admiral Lin Jianzhang, also headed for Vladivostok. Lin Jianzhang, acting admiral of the navy (equivalent to a commodore), controls the overall situation.
This has produced an interesting phenomenon: as the main body of the country, the Duan Qirui regime in Beijing does not recognize and oppose Russia, but as a local government unit, the Feng Faction has a sympathetic attitude. The reason why the army went outThe team is the Ninth Division of the Beiyang Army rather than the nearby Fengjun troops, and the conflict with Zhang Zuolin and the others is inseparable.
In fact, based on Zhang Zuolin's thoughts, he also wanted to take advantage of the fire and vote for the Soviets, but Zhang Hanqing stopped him.
Because it was this eldest son who had anticipated the great changes in the Russian government in the early days, and thus took advantage of the opportunity to borrow money from Daosheng Bank. Two large sums of arms and equipment worth a total of seven million rubles entered Zhang Zuolin's command. Strangely enough, the development of the incident was exactly what Zhang Hanqing had "predicted". After the outbreak of the February Revolution, because of uneasiness about the political situation, Daosheng Bank urged Zhang Hanqing to repay the loan in advance. It even proposed an interest rate reduction plan, but he politely declined it as "it's not time yet."
By November, when it was time to repay the principal and interest, I found that even if the value had depreciated to one-thirtieth of the due principal amount, I didn’t know who to repay it to. Daosheng Bank has already gone into chaos, so how can it still take care of this loan? In this way, Zhang Zuolin, who was not good at diplomatic relations, had to praise his vision. Even Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen and others admired this very much.
So when Zhang Hanqing went against all opinions and demanded that we lay a solid foundation with the Soviet Russian regime and at least for now not to add insult to injury, everyone reluctantly agreed. Because he also told everyone with eloquent words: Soviet Russia will eventually win.
Zhang Hanqing knew the reason. He did not want to be called a "magic stick" at a young age. His external excuse was to get the information in advance from Gu Weijun, the minister to the United States. As we all know, he and Gu Weijun are brothers.
This explanation is much more credible, but Zhang Zuolin doesn’t believe it. In this era, unlike later generations, communication can be easily carried out through an email. With the current communication methods, to get in touch with Washington from Fengtian, the telegram must first be sent to Shanghai, then from Shanghai to New York, and then to Washington. It's hard to imagine that the two of them could talk about anything so "intimately". It is true that the old Zhang family has money, but it has not reached the point of "making telegraph porridge" - money aside, wires are also very precious.
However, the nature of Green Forest made Lao Zhang choose to believe Xiao Zhang’s words again. There is not necessarily any benefit in following the Soviet Union. With the Japanese and other foreign soldiers here, there will be no problem with the Chinese soldiers. On the contrary, if the "burning cold stove" is burned incorrectly, there will be no loss. Of course, if the bet is right, as the two sides are doing now, there are great benefits.
Because the Zhang Zuolin regime, which at least maintained a "neutral" posture, actually delayed the interventionist forces' penetration into the Far East, Zhang Hanqing did not arouse the other party's resentment when communicating with the Soviet Union to negotiate the territory of Mokuowei.
Although he did have the idea of ??"taking advantage of your illness to kill you".
As we all know, the late Qing government and Russia signed three major unequal treaties: the Yuhun Treaty, the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing, and the Sino-Russian Treaty on the Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary, which successively occupied more than 1.4 million square kilometers. The land is equivalent to the combined area of ??two Frances and one Poland today. This treaty greatly damaged China's territorial integrity and basically cut off Northeast China's access to the sea.
It is said to be "basic" because the "Beijing Treaty" between China and Russia contains the words "the above-mentioned areas are open spaces and Russia is not allowed to occupy them." The above refers to the 400,000 square meters from the Ussuri River Estuary to the Tumen River Estuary. kilometers of land. The appendix to the 1861 Sino-Russian Eastern Boundary Demarcation Treaty clearly stated: "From the east of the Tumen River estuary to the Suifen River estuary, there are Katai addresses along the coast, which are the fishing and hunting grounds of the banner people and the fourteen islands in the middle of the sea. place."
This "empty land" is the area from Mokuowei to the mouth of the Tumen River, also known as the Hanqi Coast in the past. As the traditional residence and fishing and hunting place of the Chinese Manchu tribe, Mokuowei retained the rights of the Chinese in the treaty. Therefore, the later minister of boundary demarcation Wu Daguo proposed to take it back and negotiated for it for a long time, but to no avail, that's for sure.
Now that Zhang Hanqing is revisiting the old case, he wants to take the opportunity to turn this case over and implement it. Because he knew that in later generations, when Russia and Mauritius became stronger, they would no longer want to engage in territorial negotiations with China, even if they were purely of a "friendship" nature. Between December 1972 and July 1973, the Supreme Soviet Presidium even issued an administrative order to systematically replace almost all old Chinese place names north of Heilongjiang and east of the Ussuri River in an attempt to erase the history of the Chinese development and management of the Far East. trace.
On the map of China or the world map we see today, except for the Chinese place names in parentheses such as Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, and Hailanpao, all the geographical names marked on the original Chinese territory have changed. It became a lengthy and difficult-to-remember Russian translation. Since then, the Chinese government has lost this opportunity forever, unless it takes the risk of launching a nuclear war - which is almost impossible in modern international society.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing decided to make a small comeback here no matter what. Of course, he had good reasons. A month ago, Zhang Hanqing had been appointed as the special envoy of the patrol mission in the three eastern provinces, responsible for all foreign affairs liaison and discussions with Russia.

Chapter 321 Which country?
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Turning over the modern map, the southeastern part of Heilongjiang and the mouth of the Tumen River were still part of Jilin Province at that time. After the signing of three unequal treaties between the Qing Dynasty and Russia, the Tumen River was used as the boundary. The national borders of Russia and North Korea were on the north and south sides of the Tumen River estuary respectively. Not a single inch of China's territory is located at its estuary. In fact, this means that China's estuary is divided between Russia and North Korea.
East of China’s border, as close as 4,000 meters away, there is a place that haunts countless Chinese people. Our ancestors called this place Mokuowei, and later the Russians called it Posiete Bay. It is located at the mouth of the Tumen River, facing the Sea of ??Japan, and has two natural harbors, Posiete and Zarubino. The closest point is only 3999 meters from the China-Russia border!
Like the 1.5 million ceded lands, this area was also ceded by the then Tsarist Russia at the same time and designated as their Hassan region. The importance of this place and its constraints on China's economy are no worse than that of Vladivostok, another famous port not far from it. The Chinese name of Hassan is "Hanqi", and it was historically the fishery base and salt farm of Jilin.
This area, together with the large Russian-occupied area east of the Ussuri River, is like a spoon firmly controlling the outlet of Northeast China in the Sea of ??Japan, making the two provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang become standard inland provinces! Standing on Wujia Mountain near the Tuhe Port, you can see the vast expanse of blue waves at your feet. "You can clearly see the seagulls soaring and singing, you can vaguely hear the sound of the waves hitting the rocks, and you can even feel the slightly salty but fresh sea breeze blowing from the Sea of ??Japan." It's just less than one person. The distance between the international airport and the runway has firmly sealed the beak of China's rooster-like territory inland. The Sea of ??Japan is just out of reach!
When the Qing Dynasty ceded these territories, Korea was still a vassal state of China. Perhaps for this reason, the Qing government did not care about the importance of the seaport. In addition, the maritime ban policy implemented at that time was known as "I don't need to go out, and you don't need to come." Therefore, the map of modern Northeast China following the late Qing Dynasty can clearly see the land surrounded by an arc.
Fortunately, the Russians gave the Qing Dynasty, a great power at the time, some dignity and stipulated that Chinese ships could go to sea along the Tumen River.
This is Jilin’s only outlet to the sea after the cession of Vladivostok Port, so it has been developed to a considerable extent. At the beginning of 1911, Jilin Province's Du Branch and Quanyeh Dao cooperated with Shanghai businessman Zhu Jiang and others to raise a share capital of 480,000 taels of Shanghai regulated silver to establish Tuchang Navigation Co., Ltd. In 1915, the opening of Hunchun as a port was included in the central government's agenda. If it develops normally, the port site will be designated this year.
The development in recent years has shown its important role: in the seven years since the founding of the Republic of China, nearly 6,000 tons of soybeans, about 260,000 tons of soybean meal, and 285,000 cubic meters of wood have been exported via the Tumen River. As time goes by, and through the process of Northeast economic development, its prospects will only get better and better.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. By 1938 in official history, due to the outbreak of the Soviet-Japanese Zhanggufeng Incident, the Soviet Union cut off this outlet. The Nationalist Government, which had already settled in Chongqing, could no longer control this matter.
? Ordinarily, after the end of World War II, the Soviet Union should resume China's sea access, right? But at this time, the Soviet Union and the Koreans built a railway bridge on the Tumen River connecting the two countries!
"It doesn't matter if it's like the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, but that railway bridge is only 11 meters high from the river. Small boats can pass, but big ships can't. It has no practical significance. It's like drilling a dog hole. It's really sad. If there was no such railway bridge or it could simply be raised and the river channel dredged, it would not be a problem to pass the 10,000-ton wheel.
This is the eternal pain in the hearts of the Chinese people, and it is also Zhang Hanqing’s second stab at Russia that he had planned for a long time.
The first move was to borrow money from Daosheng Bank. Zhang Hanqing had already stated that he would "repay on schedule." However, the old ruble, which had depreciated more than ten times in value, and the meager interest added to it, were far from worth the loss. Considering that the turbulent situation in Soviet Russia will not end anytime soon, when it expires at the end of the year, it is foreseeable that the money will basically be reduced to waste paper.
But no one cares about these anymore. The Soviet Russian government, which is under the pressure of the two groups of "intervention forces" from the East and the West, cannot take this small loss into consideration at all. Trapped internally and externally, they were on the verge of national subjugation.
After entering 1918, Zhang Hanqing had already set his sights on this "controversial" place. Not only that, he also looked beyond here to the place further east.
He has always been thinking about opening up Huichun and building a huge port to inject new vitality into the development of Northeast China. Instead of undergoing heavy pressure in the future and pursuing the development of Northeast Asia under the eyes of Russia and North Korea, he will now open up a path for China that will last forever!
What you can get now, no matter what happens, you will have the upper hand in negotiations in the future.
And the chances are really not small now.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing pointed out in a note sent to the Soviet government: "The Far East is currently full of insecurity. If you cannot prevent the Far East Army from landing in Vladivostok, the fall of the Far East is imminent. Especially since the Japanese troops stationed in Korea are about to move along the map. Menjiangkou enters the Russian border, and our two provinces, Kyrgyzstan and Heilongjiang, are also facing pressure to consolidate their border defenses.
Now that we have secured for you the opportunity to peacefully use the Middle East Road, we need your help to prevent the Japanese troops from landing at the mouth of the Tumen River, which has penetrated into the heart of our Kyrgyzstan Province. Once the other party penetrates Kyrgyzstan and Henan, it will seriously disrupt the stability of the Middle East and provide an excuse for the other party to interfere, posing a huge threat to our ability to adhere to the current policy. "
This is the truth. The reason why the Northeast Autonomous Government cannot pour water into the country is because there are two rear areas: Ji and Hei. No matter how domineering the Japanese are, they have no reason to break the provisions of the "treaty" and penetrate into the North Manchuria Line north of Changchun. This place is also relatively intensively defended by Fengjun. But once the Tumen River opened up and the Far East fell into the hands of the intervention forces, the security line created by Zhang Hanqing was easily torn apart.
Youlin, the representative of the Soviet Russian government in the Far East, was ordered to contact the Fengxi faction. At this moment, he was sitting opposite Zhang Hanqing. Listening to Zhang Hanqing's analysis of the current situation, he pretended to be casual and said: "What does the young commander want to do?"
Zhang Hanqing said firmly: "I need to legally block the Japanese's route into Jidong!"
You Lin somewhat understood what Zhang Hanqing meant.
mm land, legally, isn’t it just to hand over the territory to China for management! Although the country was in a critical moment, and although Lenin was able to cede more than one million square kilometers of land to Germany, the Russians have never suffered a loss in dealing with this weak neighbor in the east.
However, unlike before, he actually still feels weak in his heart about China's request for this land. On the one hand, Russia is no longer what it was back then - after four long years of hard work, the Russian economy has slipped to the brink of collapse; on the other hand, the huge casualties also require the future polar bear to sit down Licking wounds. With both the east and west borders under huge threat, he needs to weigh the pros and cons.
Of course, he still had a tough talk: "The great Russia has always become stronger through the baptism of blood and fire. We are confident that we can defeat the White Army and then restore all our territories! The Far East Intervention Army can occupy it, but we will never If we don’t recognize their occupation of it, we will fight back one day!”
Zhang Hanqing does not deny that this centralized government has quickly restored its former strength. Although it will take a long time for its economy to recover, the bravery of the fighting nation still deserves recognition. In just four years, it drove out all invaders from its territory and restored its previous borders.
Because of this, Zhang Hanqing must gain something while the future is still unclear. He nodded and said: "I don't deny it. But you need to know that this land was not ceded even in the original treaty. It was you, oh, your predecessor, Tsarist Russia who secretly annexed it. I'm not begging you, But we are pointing out this issue very seriously, because it currently poses a threat to our regime. If you cannot firmly hold this place, you are equivalent to siding with the enemy! In this case, if the Japanese use this place to infiltrate into Jilin Province, we will prepare for the worst and exchange the right to use the Middle Road for peace on our eastern border. By that time, I think you will have lost the opportunity to negotiate with us!"
At this time, Youlin still didn’t know that Zhang Hanqing had rejected the Japanese request, but Japan was as arrogant as it was and would not announce this result to the outside world. However, the importance of the Middle East Road cannot be overstated. Russia built the Middle East Road in order to better invade China and take a shortcut from China to its Far Eastern territory. With it, one thousand kilometers of railway track can be reduced from Vladivostok to connect to the Trans-Siberian Railway, and supplies along the way are very convenient.
Now, this railway is very likely to be used by the enemy as a passage into our own territory. If there is knowledge at the Tsar's fountain, what should I think?
You Lin is very clear about the consequences of Feng Xi's doing this. Manzhouli, the first stop of the Eastern Road, connects Mongolia and Chita. If Northeast China is used as a support, Siberia, which has weak military strength, can be easily controlled. The rich products in the Northeast will make the intervention army's logistical supplies very easy. On the contrary, after the Soviet Red Army lost its base in the Far East, it was strategically inferior to the intervention army.
In this way, not only the original calculation of exchanging space for time has been overshadowed, but what is even more worrying is that even if the Soviet Union recovers, it will not be easy to eliminate the interventionist forces. If The Feng faction that controls the Northeast is determined to support their words.
Youlin felt it was necessary to comfort this young marshal who played an important role in the Northeast. Moreover, when he arrived, the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party had ordered him to use any treaty to ease the situation in the Far East. There is a content of exchanging territory for peace. In order to prevent the intervention forces from approaching westward along the Trans-Siberian Railway, Soviet Russia has decided to establish a Far Eastern Republic as a buffer.

Chapter 322 This is an ultimatum

He tried his hand and saw that Zhang Hanqing was very determined, so he took a step back and said: "The dispute about this territory has been around for a long time, and it is difficult to reach a conclusion in a short while. What I mean is that we might as well form a A negotiating team talks slowly. What is more important at the moment is the agreement between you and us on the concept of maintaining peace in the Far East and Northeast. I think this is the most fundamental issue."
Do you want to do Tai Chi? He also used a delaying tactic. When the situation returns to calm, the negotiation will naturally end in vain. Will China still suffer a lot from being the old | Maozi in the future? If you want China to take risks without spilling any blood, how can there be such a good thing in the world? He met Zhang Hanqing!
"Talk slowly? Yes! But as soon as the Japanese cross the Tumen River, we will stop negotiating with you and turn to the Japanese side. What you need to let your envoy know is that US Secretary Stephen also informed our government | They have put pressure on us to use the Middle East Railway to transport military supplies. You know, we can still use the name of autonomy to reject the central government and even the United States and Japan. But once the Far East falls and we are attacked from both sides, we will soon have to give up our autonomy. time."
If you give up your autonomy, that is, obey the orders of the Central Committee, you can take the Middle East route or even become an accomplice of the interventionist army. I believe Youlin can hear the weight of this.
Youlin was a little annoyed, although he didn't seem to know whether it was true or not: "Mr. Marshal, you have repeatedly mentioned 'the lips are dead and the teeth are cold', so you should think that if the Far East falls and Japan frees up its hands, the Russian people will not be the ones who suffer. So, It doesn’t seem wise to use the Middle Road as a bargaining chip in negotiations!”
Zhang Hanqing has already thought of it, but if Japan had not been trapped in Siberia for four years, the situation in Northeast China and even North China would have been even worse. The Kwantung Army had less than one division and only more than 10,000 troops, which made China choke. After more than ten years in Hou, they succeeded in the end. How painful it would be if all the tens of thousands of people who later entered Russia were placed in the Northeast!
It seems that both parties now understand this truth, and both use "concern" for the safety of the other party to bargain. The difference is that Zhang Hanqing is on the Middle East Road and Mokuowei is both determined to win, while Youlin is on the Middle East Road and retains the right to speak and delays the negotiation process on Raqi Coast.
But this seaport must be won. If the Soviet Union did not agree, Zhang Hanqing was even prepared to take it by force. In the entire Far East, Soviet Russia only formed an army of about 10,000 people and more than a dozen cannons. God does not take what he has given, but instead treats it as a disaster. Fengjun has deployed a brigade in Huichun and a reorganized regiment in Suifenhe. He was not afraid of a military confrontation unless he considered that in the long run, the Soviet Union might become hostile to China if it freed up its hands.
"Mr. Youlin, if I didn't hope to form a good friendship with you, I would definitely pretend to obey the orders of the Central Committee and fully support the interventionist forces entering Russia along the Middle East Road! Frankly speaking, Japanese soldiers entering the Far East and Siberia has virtually reduced our pressure, which is a good thing for us. You don’t have to deny this, right?
With your military strength in the Far East, I believe you have already expected the result. Otherwise, you will compete with the United States, Japan and other countries on the issue of the Middle East route, and you will not acquiesce in our control. Anyway, in a few years, your military presence in the Far East will be almost non-existent. Rather than benefiting Japan and the United States, it is better to cede it to us. Anyway, we are weak, so you will still have room for discussion in the future, right?
And it is reasonable for us to obtain sovereign status. This place was originally called Hanqi, and it is China’s inherent territory. There is no treaty that states that it was ceded! If the United States, Japan and other countries demand it forcefully, it will definitely arouse great opposition from the Chinese people. If things get serious and cause disputes, it can reduce your stress. Otherwise, we have no reason to withstand pressure for your country.
I accept your wishful thinking. If it were me, under this kind of internal and external pressure, I would most likely do the same thing. We resolutely took over the hot problem of the Middle East Road, and we were also prepared to resist the military use of the interventionist forces. At least we had to make them pay a certain price to make them feel that it was not worth it. We take risks like this just to be in this together.
And you, knowing that you cannot hold the rare area, which is of great use to stabilizing our border defenses, still insist on holding on to it. You have to know that we have a treaty basis for the access to the sea in the rare area. If you formally declare to give up the ownership of this land, we can legitimately stop the Japanese army from northeastern Korea to the Far East and force them to Pass by the Sea of ??Japan. In this way, the logistical pressure alone can overwhelm them. Regardless of the small outlet to the sea and the not-wide Tumen River, it is a natural danger that the Japanese cannot overcome! "
From Huichun to Vladivostok, the water and sea road totals about 160 kilometers, and the shortest distance to the Japanese mainland is 800 kilometers. If Japan sets out from Japan-occupied Korea and passes through the Tumen River to Russia, not only will it be much closer, but it will also be able to obtain?It’s a good supply that comes at no cost. If we can really prevent the Japanese army from moving northward, it will be a great way to consume the Japanese army's national power. Otherwise, under the protracted war, a corrupt Far East would not be a blessing to Soviet Russia.
Youlin applauded and said with a smile: "The young marshal's speech was very touching. If it weren't for the fact that Russia has never given up its territory, I would really be convinced by you."
Zhang Hanqing laughed and suddenly said: "Really? The strange area is only 10 square kilometers, only one hundred thousandth of the "Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty"! And from the past to the present, no treaty has recognized it as Russia's Yes, what Mr. Youlin said is a bit too much!"
This peace treaty was just signed in March this year. This harsh peace treaty not only caused Russia to lose nearly one million square kilometers of land and nearly 50 million residents, but also accounted for 90% of the country's coal mining, 73% of its iron ore, and 54% of its mining capacity in the occupied areas. industry and 33% railways. In addition, the treaty also stipulates that the Soviet government must demobilize its troops, including the newly formed Red Army units; the navy should sail into Russian ports and anchor there until a general peace treaty is concluded or immediate disarmament occurs.
This is not over yet. On March 27, three additional treaties between the Soviet Union and Germany were signed in Berlin, stipulating that Soviet Russia would pay 6 billion marks in various forms of compensation.
" Being so generous to the strong but refusing to give up an inch of ground to the weak. Although this vastly different treatment is also a true reflection of the country's status, it deeply hurts Zhang Hanqing's heart. It is unbearable!
You Lin didn’t expect that Zhang Hanqing, who was in a corner, knew so much about major European events and could see through his own country’s strategy at a glance in the complicated European situation. He was stunned for a moment, and then said mockingly: "This is just a temporary measure, because you know"
Zhang Hanqing rushed to say: "I know that Germany is about to be defeated, so this peace treaty will become worthless after its defeat, but your country has bought time. If this theory is true, then today I will not only ask for the rare area , but also to restore the Chinese territory occupied by Russia since the Second Opium War! Not only that, I will also cooperate with Japan to seize the Far East and seize Siberia, unless your country defeats me again and signs a peace treaty again. Do you think this logic is acceptable? Established?!”
Youlin was angry: "This is gangster logic! We will not accept such a naked threat" He was quickly speechless, because Zhang Hanqing looked at him with a half-smile, making him embarrassed to perform again. .
Zhang Hanqing said calmly but with unquestionable toughness: "The relationship between countries is mutual. If you make things difficult for me, I will definitely make you sad. The strange issue has been between our two countries for many years. Time waits for no one." , it’s time to solve it. Whether to push us to the side of the interventionist forces, or to maintain and consolidate the friendly relations between us, depends entirely on what the special envoy says. Of course, I don’t want you to answer immediately, but in the Japanese army After crossing the Tumen River, everything we talked about before will be invalid! What it will turn into by then is beyond the control of a little person like me!"
Youlin felt a lot of pressure. After weighing the pros and cons, he felt it was necessary to stabilize the mood of the Chinese young marshal. Originally, the main task of his trip was to try to restore Sino-Russian relations to at least the state they had been in during Tsarist Russia. The originally calm relations between the two countries had reached rock bottom after the February Revolution in Soviet Russia. China, along with many Allied countries, did not recognize the Soviet Union. the legal status of the Russian regime.
The short-term breakthrough lies in China, because the Soviets judged that China is just a follower. Surrounded by enemy countries and enemies on all sides, the at least non-hostile attitude of a huge China had an immeasurable impact on the Soviet Russian regime. China’s breakthrough point currently seems to be in the Northeast.
According to intelligence, this young marshal from the Northeast seems to be very optimistic about the Russian revolution, and his influence in the Northeast is increasing day by day. Although he has forcefully taken back the Middle East route, this is just the instinct of a warlord with his own thoughts. His Northeast policy of "maintaining stability, promoting peace, and grasping the economy" is also urgently needed by the Soviet Russian government. The most important thing is that he spared no effort to oppose their central government's hostility towards Soviet Russia and called on China and Russia to establish a new normal of friendly relations.
Although the Fengcian faction cannot currently influence the central government’s foreign policy, it is a powerful voice after all. Among the three areas bordering China and Russia, Northeast China is far more important than Xinjiang and Mongolia due to its close economic ties and convenient transportation. Even if it is just to achieve de facto friendly relations, this is what the Soviet Russian government currently desires.
As for the unresolved strange coast, it’s really not a problem. The so-called territorial "dispute", Youlin knows, is just something the Russians themselves created, just to tie up the neck of this former Celestial Kingdom. There is no political burden at all in assigning it to China. The reason why he said this was just for negotiation needs.
At that time, as the Republic of China, which had the longest border with the Soviet Union and had the most vital interests, although its national power was weak, it unconsciously had the intention of uniting to provide warmth because we were brothers in trouble. As a form of comfort and a show of goodwill towards China, Lenin repeatedly talked about "abolishing the unequal treaties between China and Russia", although it was ultimately proven that he was talking about the abolition of the three major countries that had invaded and occupied more than 1.4 million square kilometers of China's territory. The treaty was excluded, but it was still marked in the history books.

Chapter 323 Compromise

Asking for a high price and paying back the money has always been the only way to negotiate. However, the current negotiation date is a bit tight, and the tone of the conversation is a bit like an ultimatum because according to various sources, the Japanese army is ready to go at home. As a special envoy of the Soviet Union, Youlin had enough sources to confirm this matter.
He had already agreed to Zhang Hanqing's request in his heart, but he still had to fight for other things: "Mr. Marshal, you should understand that there are many citizens of our Russian nation on the Hanqi coast. Our government cannot protect their safety. No worries. So when discussing this issue, I am worried about their future situation"
Zhang Hanqing said in a mocking tone: "Worried? Mr. Youlin, you are worrying too much."
He thought of the Hailanpao and Jiangdong No. 64 massacres that had happened not long ago. The blood-soaked river surface, the helpless screams and killings in the face of the executioner, were of the same age as him. The genocidal policy adopted by the Tsarist Russian invaders against the defenseless people led to a sharp decrease in the number of Chinese in the originally populous Far Eastern territories, in order to allow the number of newly arrived Russian immigrants to exceed the local aboriginals, so that in the future, Take ownership of political changes.
There is a theory in demography: Once the proportion of foreign immigrants in a certain area exceeds 10%, it will directly change the ecology and distribution of voice in the area. The latest example is the huge impact of Islamic immigrants on Europe, especially France.
But the Russians are not reconciled to this "minority". If they want to settle in the far East, they need an absolute number of people. However, due to the limitations of productivity at that time, the climate of Siberia was not suitable for large-scale immigration, and the Russian people were not willing to travel thousands of miles to live here. Think about it today, in order to revitalize the economy of the Far East, Russia uses free land as bait to attract its European parts. It can be seen from the immigration.
One result of this is that although Russia controls millions of square kilometers of new territory, it faces a situation where "foreign" people dominate. It would not be surprising if these territories were gained and lost again if something unexpected happened.
So on the one hand, it adopted preferential measures. After 1861, Russia emigrated to the Far East on a large scale, encouraging people to take root in the still desolate Far East by providing travel expenses, settlement expenses, food, agricultural machinery, tax exemptions and other conditions.
On the other hand, it is to use methods such as driving and killing to make the indigenous people leave the territory, or simply to clear it out through genocide. It would rather be uninhabited and ensure the "purity" of the land. Tragedies such as Hailanpao are the embodiment of this theory.
As a result, the ethnic structure changed dramatically (the population was 2.86 million in 1863). In 1881, the Russian ethnic group began to dominate, reaching 57.9%. By 1916, the proportion increased to 82.31% (population 9.62 million in 1914)!
Therefore, this group of less than 10 million people controls an area close to the territory of China. Although the development of its Far East region lagged far behind the northeastern part of neighboring China due to insufficient labor, it would rather recruit workers from North Korea than let nearby China participate in its development of the Far East. The meaning is obvious, that is Be on guard.
Now Maozi wants to negotiate terms with Zhang Hanqing on the grounds of protecting the residents of "his" land. This is similar to the way the Japanese frequently "protect" their citizens and "find" their missing soldiers to penetrate deep into the heart of China.
This further illustrates the role of immigration.
Zhang Hanqing then said to Youlin in a passionate tone: "China has five thousand years of civilization. The Chinese people living on this land have used their own civilization to assimilate countless other ethnic groups who also live on this land, and finally formed The Chinese nation. Our national character is tolerant, restrained, and non-aggressive. In the course of our thousands of years of history leading the world, our Chinese nation has never had an egregious example of genocide against foreigners. Our thoughts and practices in occupying this land are based on benevolence, forgiveness, Dao, and peace. Mr. Youlin must not compare this with what other nations, especially Tsarist Russia, once committed on Chinese soil. Comparable sins.
People who have been living on Chinese territory for various reasons before, like the Korean people in Yanbian area of ??Jilin Province, China, if they are willing to accept the management of the Chinese government and live together with people of other ethnic groups in China, we will use the greatest efforts goodwill to ensure that they enjoy the same rights and obligations as other people and regard them as members of the nation.
If you are unwilling to stay in China, we will allow you to leave freely and sell your property without any obstruction. If you are unwilling to join China but still want to live there, we have another way, which is to implement a green card system and give them permanent residency.
I don’t know if these methods can dispel Mr. Youlin’s concerns.Concerns? If Mr. Youlin has any other ideas, we can discuss them as long as the territory is returned to China. "
Seemingly inadvertently, Zhang Hanqing revealed or reported a result to him: "What Mr. Youlin needs to know is that in order to protect the security of our Jilin border, the Jilin border guards have assembled in the Fangchuan area under my order. The purpose is to prevent the possible landing of Japanese troops, and the second is to accommodate the Chinese expatriates in the Far East who have been evacuated from Temple Street. Many of these expatriates live in the Far East and have a good understanding of Russian customs. My plan is to temporarily resettle them in In a strange area, they will be able to live harmoniously with the local Russian people."
You Lin Qi Ku: This is to be executed first and played later. It has already been decided. What else is there to talk about? He said helplessly: "I will report your proposal to our government. In order to convince them, I need the young commander to make concessions on the rights and interests of the Middle East Road. We can admit that the sovereignty of the Middle East Road belongs to China, but we must have Half of the jurisdiction, or extending the lease. After all, Russia spent a huge amount of money to build this railway. Your country's use of force to take back the Middle East Road and drive away the road convoys has caused great embarrassment to our country."
"The Middle Road is already Zhang Hanqing's favorite, and it is also an important reliance for him to develop the Northeast economy. After finally taking it back, will he be stupid enough to give it away again? What you get now will be yours. He was well aware of the direction of history. It would take four years to drive out the Far East intervention forces, and then there would be a great famine. It would take five years for Soviet Russia to breathe again. Moreover, the tone of Soviet Russia's attitude towards China was "peace". Although it was forced to do so due to the needs of the international and domestic situation, its failure to form an absolute advantage over China was on the one hand. I don’t believe that with him, Northeast China has not made a qualitative leap in these five years! At that time, where will it come from?
He spread his hands and said very bachelorly: "Mr. Youlin, I don't mind if you claim half of the sovereignty, jurisdiction or lease rights of the Middle East Road, as long as you dare! A few days ago, Japan's Lieutenant General Hoshino also returned I planned to obtain the expropriation rights of the Middle East Railway under the pretext of attacking you, but I rejected it on the grounds that this railway belongs to our country. I believe that Japan and the United States and other intervening countries are very happy to have an excuse to get involved in this railway, so please think about it Are you aware of the various consequences arising from this?”
Youlin knows that even if the new Soviet government regains control of the Middle East Road from China, it will be unable to continue to hold it. Instead, it will provide artillery shells for the United States, Japan and other countries to intervene, and the results will still be impossible to retain. But he was very reluctant to give up this cash cow. With this practical and cherished mentality, he asked Zhang Hanqing, could China and Russia jointly manage and retain Russia's shares on the basis of China's complete sovereignty?
This request is actually reasonable, because after all, the North-Manchuria Railway and the Harbin-Long-term Railway were built under the control of Russia. This line has made great contributions to the prosperity and convenient transportation of the Russian Far East. It is normal for them to be reluctant to part with it. After all, it would be painful for everyone to give up the fat in their mouths to others.
"But Zhang Hanqing will not be merciful. Now is the best time for China to get benefits from Russia, and we will not wait until the expiration date." I can’t remember the specific time, but it should be around this time of this year (historical records are July 25, 1918). In order to open a gap in the Far East, Soviet Russia issued its first declaration to China, "It is willing to build the Middle East Railway and all minerals, forests, gold and other properties leasedwill be returned to China unconditionally without any claims."
The other party knows all their trump cards.
What an opportunity! As long as the Chinese government at that time could take advantage of the situation and seize the most important transportation line in Northeast Asia without spending a penny, what would happen next? Unfortunately, the Chinese government did not obtain the contents of this declaration until March 1920. After another contact was made, the Soviet Union, which had greatly reduced its crisis, reiterated that it would "renounce all previously captured territory and the Russian concessions in China, and that everything that the tsarist government and the Russian bourgeoisie had seized from China would be transferred permanently and free of charge." Return it to China", but requires China to "sign a treaty on the use of the Eastern Railway method for Soviet Russia's needs." It can be seen that it has withdrawn its promise of "free return" on the issue of the Middle East Road.
The opportunity is only for a moment!
Although it seems that Soviet Russia now acquiesces to the Fengtian occupation, it is just that it lacks confidence! When the situation calms down, with Lao|Mao Zi's vengeful character, it is inevitable that there will be no more conflicts between swordsmen. Wasn't the historical Middle East Road Incident caused by his own body falling out with the Soviets? It seems that China has suffered a big loss, and the Middle East Road has returned to the state it was in during the Russian occupation.
Therefore, we must come to a conclusion at this time. It is reasonable and reasonable for each to give in. It will not work without some blood. He took a step back and said: "The Middle East Railway is under the management of the Chinese government. This is a sovereignty issue and cannot be negotiated! However, considering the specific circumstances and for the sake of the overall situation of Sino-Russian friendship, we agree that the Middle East Railway is responsible for the governments and foreign businessmen of various countries. The Chinese government is fully responsible for the debt." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

After forcefully taking back the Middle East Road, Zhang Hanqing has urged the provincial governments of Jilin and Heilongjiang through Zhang Zuolin to establish the Harbin Railway Bureau and the Changchun Railway Bureau respectively, officially taking over the daily operations of the Middle East Road. What he needs now is the Soviet people's subsequent approval.
Now people are giving in, whether they do it willingly or not. After being slapped, there must be some sweetness. In order to enhance China's sincerity, Zhang Hanqing went one step further and said: "If we reach a consensus on jointly preventing Japanese and US interference forces, the Northeast Autonomous Government will also fully consider your demands and will fully mobilize our contacts to promote China's friendship between Russia and the resumption of diplomatic relations. All this depends on the efforts of Mr. Special Envoy.”
This is to take advantage of the Soviet Russian government's eagerness to find a breakthrough in world public opinion so as not to be alone on this planet. After the February Revolution, especially after the October Revolution, the world's major countries felt dissatisfaction and fear of the new Soviet regime. Therefore, so far, no country has recognized it, and even the Republic of China has withdrawn its ambassador to Russia.
This promise is what Soviet Russia wants, and it is also the biggest gain of Youlin's trip. But the price is not small: the complete abandonment of the Middle East Railway and the return of China's rare coast.
Fortunately, these did not go beyond the bottom line of Soviet Russia. Youlin was just curious, why is this Chinese young marshal so skillful in handling fire?
There was no time to think too much. Seeing that the raw rice had already been cooked, Youlin didn't want to get involved in anything. At any rate, he lost all his money. The severe situation in front of him made it impossible for him to optimistically predict that in just four years, the Soviet Russian government would completely recover. I wonder what he thought at that time when he looked at the treaty he had signed with his own hands.
Two days later, Youlin brought good news to Zhang Hanqing. The Soviet Russian government officially issued a statement relinquishing all rights and interests in the Middle East Road; it also happily ended the decades-long dispute between China and Russia on the Raqi Coast and announced that it recognized China's rights and interests along the Tumen River estuary. Territorial rights over land.
Along with its statement was an agreement signed by its special envoy Youlin and Zhang Zuolin, chairman of the Northeast Autonomous Government, patrol envoy of the three northeastern provinces and Fengtian Warlord. The two sides exchanged texts on the above-mentioned declaration, and unanimously stated that they hope to ease the situation in the Far East, and jointly called on the government of the Republic of China to recognize the Soviet-Russian regime and turn the Sino-Soviet border into a place of friendship, peace, and prosperity. Its speed and movement were so fast that it blinded everyone from the Middle East Road Guards and Border Guards to the central officials.
Zhang Hanqing's role in this was not well-known to people at the time. Only senior officials in the Fengcian faction knew that Zhang Hanqing, who held the positions of Office of the China-Eastern Railway, Commander of the China-Eastern Road Guard Army, and Special Envoy for Foreign Affairs of the Patrol Mission of the Three Eastern Provinces, How capable you are of grasping current events. Who could have known that such a major concession by Soviet Russia was actually achieved under his instigation?
The ins and outs of these two events ultimately left a mark in the history books. Zhang Zuolin won the hearts of the Chinese people for his contribution to "obtaining soil", and was later awarded the first-class Jiahe Medal with a large ribbon. Bao Guiqing, the governor of Jilin, and Sun Liechen, the governor of Heilongjiang Province, although they did not contribute much, were awarded first-class due to their "leadership role" Awarded the Jiahe Medal and a Nine Lions Saber. However, Zhang Hanqing, who made the greatest contribution, was only awarded the first-class Wenhu Medal and one promotion honorary medal because of his low official position. Some people complained about it.
Zhang Hanqing doesn’t care about these false reputations. In his words, “Being able to do something practical for the Chinese nation is better than anything else.” But privately, he inevitably regretted not being promoted to lieutenant general. Although he is already quite powerful among the senior officials of the Fengcheng Clan, and seems to be on an equal footing with Sun Liechen, Wu Junsheng and other Fengcian veterans, a major general with the title of lieutenant general is still not as strong as a real lieutenant general. Even though he doesn't usually say it, relying on his own strength to gain strength and relying on the brand of Young Marshal to gain benefits are completely different to him.
Fortunately, this unhappiness was diluted by the prospect of a good situation in Northeast China. According to the agreement between the two parties, the territory of China and Russia is bounded by the existing Poshet Bay's closest land point to China and extends eastward to the midline of the mouth of Positu Bay. The two sides equally divide the Qinghai Bay of Ekesby.
This area covers an area of ??about 500 square kilometers. Relying on it, China has sufficient strategic buffer to isolate the Japanese threat to Jilin from the northeastern corner of North Korea. This is the first time in modern times that China has obtained a piece of land without using ransom or damaging other interests. Although the area is not large, it has symbolic significance. Even in geopolitics, its role cannot be underestimated.
In response, the Northeastern Autonomous Government also announced to the outside world: The recovery of these two places went through many twists and turns and was hard-won. It fully reflects the goodwill of the Soviet Russian government to live in peace with China, and will never allow any organization to use it under any pretext to deal with Soviet Russia, or even trap China in an "unjust place." This?It is a great shame to China, which advocates that "a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water".
Let me first set the tone in terms of public opinion: I am not acting against the wishes of your superiors, but it is contrary to our traditional moral ethics. I said that, how can you rent, requisition, or rob me to use my China-Eastern Railway? Why are you still making trouble in the Tumen River area?
Of course, to prevent accidents, Zhang Hanqing has ordered the troops stationed in Kyrgyzstan to prepare for the Mokuowei Gulf. The total straight-line distance is 4 kilometers. As long as it is cut in half at the arc, the land at the southern foot of Pochet Bay is not owned by Russia. At the same time, more than a dozen civilian ships recruited by the Jilin garrison were also full of soldiers, preparing to forcibly sail down the Tumen River to land from various places along the coast.
Because the river at the mouth of the sea is wide, this will bring benefits to prevent the Japanese from making unreasonable troubles in the future - there is nothing you can do about the land as a close neighbor. With such a wide river across the river, what reason do you have to come and infiltrate?
Of course, the use of force is the last resort. If it were not to lay a century-old foundation, Zhang Hanqing would not want to take political risks and cause trouble here. Since the establishment of the Far East Intervention Force, Northeast Asia and the Far East have undergone three changes every day, and countless eyes have been fixed on this place. There are no lice, but the Japanese still want to scratch their heads. If this place becomes a mess, it will play into their hands.
The most ridiculous thing is that the central government of the Republic of China at this time sent troops to participate in the Far East Intervention Force's operations without overestimating its capabilities, and wasted this opportunity that could make a difference. If it weren't for Zhang Hanqing's unexpected emergence and strong intervention, this dream of regaining his homeland would probably have been left to a thousand years later. I wonder how much that symbolic battalion and several warships can improve China's external image?
Because the Republic of China did not recognize or even be hostile to the new Soviet regime, the Northeast Autonomous Government chose to "obey" its demands at this time and actively blocked all border ports with Russia. Well, according to China's domestic administrative order, the Northeast Autonomous Government legally and reasonably limits the activities of the interventionist forces outside Chinese territory.
Striking while the iron was hot, the Jilin Provincial Government sent a number of administrative teams to take over the area and began setting up boundaries and driving piles. Correspondingly, the town of Mokuowei also established a set of administrative agencies such as the town office and police station. Its speed and crisp movements caught the Japanese on the other side of the river by surprise. Originally, they hoped to enter Russia through North Korea and wait for an opportunity to cause some trouble on the Chinese border.
Consul Yoshida Shigeru in Fengtian, the Manchurian Railway Company, the Korean Reclamation Corps and other agencies rushed to discuss countermeasures. The Japanese army attacking Vladivostok had already started from the country. As a result, the strange coast they were determined to capture suddenly fell into the air. This feeling of hanging in mid-air was very uncomfortable. But Zhang Hanqing is like a hedgehog, using various methods to make the Japanese unable to eat.

Chapter 325 Behind the Jiandao issue
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
However, Japan was still unwilling to give in after the failed attempt to intervene in the North-Manchuria Railway in the East-Middle Road battle. Although they have a military presence in Manchuria, they are only nominally interfering with Soviet Russia, and at least they cannot be reasonably utilized in terms of justice. Moreover, as soon as the problem of the Eastern Railway broke out, Zhang Zuolin's government closed the connection between Suifenhe Station, the end of the North Manchuria Railway, and Soviet Russia. Across the Soviet Far East, it was difficult for the Japanese to stretch their hands too far.
After much thought, they set their sights on the disputed Yanbian area.
It is controversial, in fact, it is just the "dispute" of the Japanese unilaterally. Chinese politics | government in the past did not recognize it, and the Japanese people's claims are not desirable. But the reason why this "controversy" exists is related to the weakness of China, the incompetence of the late Qing government, and the North Koreans' repayment of kindness and hatred.
This "controversy" is the Jiandao issue.
Jiandao, formerly known as "Kendao" (named after a large number of Korean immigrants crossed the border for reclamation), is the unilateral name of the Koreans for China's Yanbian territory north of the Tumen River and south of the Hailan River, including Yanji, Wangqing, and Helong , Hunchun four counties and cities. During the late Qing Dynasty, the border residents in northern Korea sought a way to survive in China across the water due to disasters and poverty. As the suzerain country at the time, China also generously set aside a piece of land for them to farm. This was a benevolent move, but it was unexpected that it would open Pandora's box.
When Japan annexed North Korea, it began to covet the Yanbian area. On November 18, 1906, Park Jaesun, the Minister of Political Affairs of North Korea, sent a letter to Hirobumi Ito, the Superintendent of Korea, requesting Japan to send personnel to the Yanbian area of ??China to protect Korean settlers. This was exactly what the Japanese government wanted, but considering the establishment of a colonial governance institution and the The military police stationed in the garrison would easily arouse strong opposition from the Chinese people and the attention of European and American powers, so they temporarily established a temporary station of the North Korean Unification Supervisory Office in the Yanbian area.
Then Japan claimed that the border between China and North Korea was not clear and the ownership of Jiandao (China's Yanbian area) was undecided. It also illegally invaded China's Yanbian under the pretext of protecting North Korean settlers. This resulted in the issue of Jiandao (China's Yanbian area). When Zhang Hanqing crossed It was mentioned many times before by a shameless imperial literati from a certain country.
Therefore, starting from August 1907, China and Japan began to negotiate the "Jiandao Case", which lasted for two years until September 1909. The Sino-Japanese "Jiandao case" negotiations were conducted, first, between the central governments and envoys of the two countries; second, between the local government in the northeastern Qing Dynasty and the Jiandao Police Station illegally set up by Japan in Yanbian. .
But the clever thing about the Japanese is to include the sovereignty issue of "Jiandao" in the negotiations with the other five items related to railways and coal mines. Negotiations continued into 1909. Japan and North Korea intensified harassment in all "Jiandao" areas. The Qing government could not bear the harassment. Considering that "things must be dealt with first, and harm must be done first," they decided to give in on the road and mine negotiations. , to ensure territorial sovereignty.
At that time, the two sides signed the "Tumen River China-South Korea Boundary Affairs Articles", which clearly stipulated that the Tumen River is the national boundary between China and South Korea, and Shiyi River is the source of the river. Since then, the decades-long border issue between China and South Korea has been resolved. Later, the border between "Manchukuo" and North Korea, and the border between China and North Korea remained unchanged. On the reclaimed land north of the Tumen River, Koreans are still allowed to live, which can be regarded as leaving a tail.
Only in the 1970s in official history, with the economic boom of South Korea, the so-called "Han River Myth", and the rise of right-wing nationalism in South Korea, the so-called "Jiandao" issue began to be brought up again by the shameless stickmen.
However, just because the treaty is signed, it does not mean that the Chinese government can effectively restrict North Koreans from coming to the Northeast. The border in this place is inherently long, and the border river Tumen River is not very wide, especially in the upper reaches to the river source area. The rivers are many and shallow, the boundaries are unclear, and the sources are unclear. In many places, there is an interaction of canines, resulting in the situation where you are in the middle and I am in the middle. There is your situation. In this place, border management is already difficult, not to mention that people with ulterior motives are causing trouble in it?
So, the water in Tumen River is actually muddy.
After the Japanese had nowhere to get their hands on the Middle East Road, they set their sights here again. They intended to open a passage to the hinterland of Northeast China here. Of course, directly sending troops is not possible. The Republic of China is a sovereign country recognized by the great powers. So, they used their best trick of "courtesy first, then attack".
The method is to cause chaos among the Koreans living in the Yanbian area, and then the Japanese side will send troops into the area in a grand manner on the pretext of "calming down the situation." Based on the experience of encroaching on Dongsanxiao, wherever the Japanese soldiers arrive, it will be the scope of actual control of Japanese forces.
No, a piece of news about North Korean settlers violently resisting local administration caught Zhang Hanqing's attention.
What happened is this: As one of the main sources of finance in Northeast China, agricultural tax is the basis for Zhang Hanqing to develop the economy of Northeast China. According to the fact that China has been deeply rooted in the people for thousands of years,According to the principle of ?, cultivating land and receiving food is the proper meaning. At this time, unlike later generations, growing grain was not only tax-free but also provided direct subsidies.
With the expansion of Zhang Zuolin’s power, the Fengcian clique’s control over the Northeast has also begun to be implemented from large and medium-sized cities to the grassroots level. Especially with the progress of land reform, the government’s reach into the first-line rural areas has been much more solidified than before. The township police stations, finance offices, and governments, together with the grassroots party branches of the People's Party, firmly control administrative power.
In view of the large number of Korean people in southern Jilin, the autonomous government put forward the concept of "Chinese nation" to guide nationalist tendencies. Following the household registration system of later generations, "dual nationality", cross-border Koreans and Japanese overseas Chinese were effectively checked in this land.
The orderly order prevented the Japanese from making trouble, so they started artificial unrest. The organizer is the Beiken Island branch of the "Yijinhui" which is very famous in the Huichun area.
"Iljinhui" is a Korean society that originally served to sell Korea and Japan. Later it became an accomplice of Japan's expansion into China and also played an important role in the so-called "Jiandao issue." It penetrated into the Jiandao area very early. In October 1905, as soon as he joined the association, he sent member Li Guangzhu to "inspect" Jiandao. After that, a large number of first-level members immigrated to Jiandao. They set up their headquarters in Liudaogou, Linjiang, and many branches in other places in Jiandao. They carried out various reconnaissance and sabotage activities, and colluded with the Japanese "Jiandao Police Station" in an attempt to seize the local area. For example, Jin Yulong, one of the leaders of the association, served at Jiandao Police Station.
Regarding this, the book "Jilin Old News" has detailed records: "The number of Koreans who have moved to the four tribes of Yan, Hui, He and Wang has exceeded 400,000. Calculating the household registration, Koreans will account for more than half, and during this period, there are many Jie people. There are many sly people in Yijinhui, who take over wasteland and rent land, and use deceit to fool around. I am deeply afraid that Yijinhui will be a dog, and the Japanese will scold him, and Yijinhui will be a puppet, and the Japanese will If you pull the rope and move, Yanbian will be the same as North Korea. Walking on frost and solid ice is also a danger!"
The Qing government held an unwelcome attitude toward the meeting. The "14 Articles on the Protection of Sovereignty" formulated by the Jilin authorities clearly stipulates: "The Korean people who are reclaiming land abide by Chinese laws are the reclaiming people of our country. There are also many people who enter Korea and join the society. Such people, regardless of their If I become a Korean citizen, I will arrest him and deal with him according to civil and criminal laws." But with the support of the Japanese, once the incident involves "friendly subjects", the former Celestial Kingdom will have no way to deal with its former subordinate. Yes, entering the will has always been a headache for the Qing government on the Sino-Korean border.
After the Northeast was unified under Zhang Zuolin, the situation began to change. Zhang Zuolin followed the previous practice and rehabilitated the Korean people who reclaimed wasteland and returned them to their hometowns. Those who wish to become Chinese citizens will be given a household registration, and their cultivated land will be recognized and protected; those who do not want to become Chinese citizens will be deported within a time limit and their land will be confiscated. In this way, the people who were originally controlled by the Yi Jinhui began to divide. Under the pressure of the Jilin government, many Korean people expressed their willingness to submit - they were originally people of the Qing dynasty and had no objection to this.
There will always be a small group of stubborn people who only submit to Korean management on the grounds that they have been farming here for "generations". The local Chinese government is still very kind and requires them to leave the country within a time limit after the summer grain harvest is completed - this is for their livelihood. But they were ungrateful and refused to leave. They even stopped paying the grain tax they were supposed to pay.
What’s even more outrageous is that the North Reclamation Branch of the “First Advancement Association” is clamoring to the people everywhere: “If Jiandao is reclassified to North Korea, or if we take a step back and let us self-govern, we can be exempted from grain taxes, and Koreans can manage this area.” Land. With the support of the Japanese Empire, the Chinese government will not dare to use force against you."
A group of white-eyed wolves were bewitched and really refused to pay the land rent. What's more, they even contacted in private to mobilize more people to "petition" to the Jilin Provincial Government and ask Huichun to implement "Korean reclamation."
"Why can the three eastern provinces separate from the central government and become autonomous and establish a system of rule by people, but we can't? More than half of the people living in this land are Korean people. Of course, this land should be managed by us Koreans. ." This is their main argument, and it is quite popular.
Originally it was just a "petition" noise, but the local governments of Jilin Province and Huichun are facing a formidable enemy. Why? Because since the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, there have been several troubles here. It stands to reason that it is not difficult to solve this kind of internal affairs, as long as the government is tough enough, but because there are Japanese people waving the flag behind and even rushing to the front line, it rises to the international level every time.
??Besides, there are quite a few teams of over a thousand peopleenough to cause a moderate disturbance
The new governor Liu Shangqing is quite upset. His characteristics are that he is clear-cut in words and deeds, courteous to others, and the most stable in dealing with things. He has the advantage of "Kong Ming is only cautious in his life". This pleased Zhang Zuolin, who was also one of the top three figures in Zhang Zuolin's civil service system, second only to Wang Yongjiang. Being able to become the governor of the three eastern provinces alongside Zhang Guogan and Wang Yongjiang is enough to illustrate the problem.
Because he comes from an economic background, he is known for his shrewdness and insight into the philosophy of being independent. Sometimes he is regarded as too cautious. He is always exposed to reputation and reputation, or he has been in the palace several times before.
Because of this, he was overly cautious in dealing with Huichun's "Korean people governing Korea" issue, and only wanted to properly appease him. While he instructed the Huichun District Commissioner to resolve "people's grievances" safely, he also sent people to find a compromise and promised the settlers to suspend taxes on their land.
Who would have thought that this would make the brainwashed settlers take advantage of the situation, so they simply shouted "autonomy".

The Clay Bodhisattva still has three points of blood, not to mention Liu Shangqing, who is responsible for guarding the soil? According to the principle of separation of military and political affairs, it was he, the governor of Jilin Province, rather than the governor Bao Guiqing, who had full responsibility for administration.
Zhang Zuolin’s pursuit of autonomy in Northeast China was not just for his younger brothers to imitate him. This slogan allows him to enjoy full management rights in the Northeast without being constrained by the central government and to do so with ease. This is a strategy recognized by his think tanks. But autonomy and its expansion to the extent of being as scattered as several provinces in later generations, haha, even Zhang Hanqing himself did not recognize it.
Dealing with ethnic issues is inherently a learning process. The United States and the former Soviet Union represent two completely different strategies in how to deal with multi-ethnic people of different cultural traditions. The United States can be called the "melting pot" and the former Soviet Union can be called the "system of regional ethnic autonomy." At the beginning of the founding of the country, both systems made great contributions to the national unity of their respective countries. However, with the development of the times, the advantages and disadvantages gradually differentiated.
The characteristic of the "melting pot" strategy of the United States is that at the political level, the state treats individuals of all ethnic groups equally, completely ignoring the differences between ethnic groups, and giving everyone absolutely the same political rights. Its significance lies in building a unified and homogeneous republic based on people's conscious identity in the most dangerous areas; on the other hand, maintaining diversity and richness in the cultural and social fields.
For the United States, a new heterogeneous ethnic group can freely maintain its own individuality. But the prerequisite for it to be integrated into this country is that its individuals must learn and accept this political culture. And once it achieves this, it can integrate into the "melting pot" with its own personality and live in harmony with other ethnic groups.
The Soviet-style autonomy system originated from the concept of "nation-state" that emerged in modern Europe. It gives the broadest interpretation of "national autonomy": that is, any group that considers itself a nation as long as it has common cultural characteristics that they recognize each other, It has the right to self-government in a territory where it has long lived. At the same time, it also has the right to decide through a "referendum" whether to establish a sovereign and independent country on this territory. It is not difficult to imagine that with this kind of national self-determination interpreted to the maximum extent, people simply cannot establish a unified country in a multi-ethnic situation unless some "tie-ups" are forcibly given.
Therefore, the internationally renowned and highly respected left-wing modern history master Hobsbawm commented on the ethnic policies of the former Soviet Union: "Care is taken to focus on those who have never formed an 'ethnic administrative unit' (that is, a 'nation' in the modern sense)" An 'ethnic administrative unit' is created locally, or based on the distribution of ethnic languages, among ethnic groups that were never considered to form an 'ethnic administrative unit'."
Although the original intention of both is to achieve domestic harmony, the former comes from within and can be called "cultural" integration; while the latter, through the influence of certain external forces, such as communist beliefs, can be called " "Civilized" integration. This is the view put forward by the British historian Toynbee in "Historical Research".
Very insightful. Because once there is trouble and external forces fail, the external force of "civilization" is obviously not as strong as the internal binding force of "culture". The subsequent disintegration of Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, and the Soviet Union all reflected this concept. In fact, the situation in modern Europe with many countries and constant wars is a reflection of it.
??Unfortunately, later generations of China adopted the strategies of the former Soviet Union.
The consequence of the implementation of this ethnic system is to strengthen the ethnic identity of each individual to the greatest extent. As a result of the persistence of "university under heaven", distinguishing national attributes and allowing the dominant Han ethnic group to help some ethnic minorities in the border areas, poverty and backwardness, is the good intention of the government after the founding of New China to achieve common development.
But from now on, every Chinese must clearly identify which of the 56 ethnic groups they belong to, and must write down their ethnicity on every registration form to determine their identity. Under such stimulation again and again, the ethnic consciousness of everyone, especially ethnic minority individuals, is continuously strengthened.
China's long-term ethnic regional system is actually systematically shaping the political identity consciousness of minority individuals with their ethnic group as the core. This is the most fundamental institutional root cause of the gradual intensification of conflicts among various ethnic groups in Chinese society before time travel. . The serious consequence it has is that it emphasizes national identity and downplays national identity.
Nowadays, the small group of Koreans and pioneer Koreans in the Northeast are just a shadow. When the central government was strong, it may not have performed well, but when the more powerful Japanese fanned the flames, the idea emerged spontaneously.
"We want autonomy"it almost didn't say that we wanted independence.
&nbsIf found, all their property will be confiscated and they will be deported according to their original nationality. Those who have no receiving country are considered refugees and must be resettled by the Chinese government.
As for those who have committed crimes and caused cholera in the streets, once they are discovered, they will be severely punished as bandits. From now on, Huichun has entered a state of emergency, and the garrison troops and police have imposed martial law in accordance with the order. In addition to the curfew, nationals are prohibited from entering and exiting at all borders except ports. Violators may be regarded as agents and be shot on the spot. All illegal organizations will be banned, and their members must surrender at their local police stations and police stations from now on, otherwise they will be severely punished by the autonomous government.
The Jilin Border Defense Office has the final right to interpret this regulation. "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 327 Conspiracy and conspiracy
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
This administrative order, later known as the “prototype of the China Immigration Act” and the “Basic Principles for Handling China’s Ethnic Issues,” was by no means a brainchild of Zhang Hanqing, nor was it solely aimed at solving the problem of land reclamation for Koreans.
In fact, long before the problem of land reclamation became serious, the issue of Belarusians in China had been discussed for a long time within the visiting embassy. These old Russians who were dissatisfied with the Soviet Russian government after the October Revolution could not be tolerated by the new Russia, so they fled to various parts of the Northeast and Shanghai. If they were not recognized by Soviet Russia, they lost their nationality and became refugees. But the wealthy among them are not yet refugees. The real refugees are those who have lost all their family property and have no labor force - women and children, who live at the bottom of society.
In order to make a living, in Harbin at night, there are more exotic powders wandering around. Many people do not understand Chinese, are hard to find jobs and cannot own land, so they will inevitably do things that affect social stability. To sum it up with a famous saying by Mayakovsky, "When society forces you to the point of desperation, don't forget that there is another way behind you, and that is crime. Remember, this is not shameful."
In Soviet Russia, you can carry out violent revolution, and that is your family matter, but here the target is the Chinese government and the Chinese people! Therefore, Zhang Hanqing promptly introduced some measures to accommodate Belarusian refugees, and achieved good results. But Zhang Hanqing is not so generous as to allow them to become Chinese citizens easily - when he is proud, he regards the Chinese as pigs and dogs, but when he is frustrated, he wants to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some love? no way! Those who are not of my race must have different minds. It is okay to settle down temporarily. If you want to become a Chinese citizen, let's do it in the next life!
It’s not the next life. In future generations, various countries will have a “green card” system, which allows children born locally to automatically obtain local nationality. It can be seen that "let the next life become a citizen" is the unanimous consideration of all countries regarding immigration, and is not just Zhang Hanqing's opinion. What a conspiracy!
“If foreigners can live in China for a long enough time, Zhang Hanqing believes that they might as well consider introducing a policy to allow their children to receive the same treatment as Chinese nationals. The Chinese nation is tolerant enough. But the prerequisite is that they learn and use Chinese, give Chinese names, and recognize the concept of the unity of the country and the Chinese nation.
Zhang Hanqing also prepared to publish a set of test questions for CET-4 and CET-6 by himself for reference. In it, there are questions such as what does "meaning" mean, and whether "convenient" is a convenience or a physical convenience. , "Where is where" exactly? "The fifth child said to the fourth child that the third child is the second child! How many characters appear in this sentence?" Wait, all the songs of Jay Chou were used in the listening test, and they were only played once Said this is the normal speaking speed of Chinese people
Since then, he has begun to draft the household registration and green card system, but before he could put the pen to paper, Huichun got into trouble. It's okay, it's not a bad idea to take out the first few sticks and practice your skills.
When dealing with Bangzi, it must be completely separated from the Korean people in the country, just like the relationship between China and Singapore, which is mainly Chinese, in official history. However, blindly using violence will hurt the feelings of compatriots within the country to some extent. After all, as long as someone is instigated, it can still cause corresponding feelings of sadness.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing should be polite first and then attack with force. The existence of Korean settlers is due to historical reasons. Many people are also affected by poverty. Otherwise, according to the concept of never leaving their hometown, they would not leave their hometown and come here as long as they have a way to survive. The old Northeast lacked labor force and resources, and North Korea had labor force and lack of resources. This is why there is such a perfect combination. This is not a bad thing.
But people have to be grateful - as long as you recognize our country's government management, or simply become a Chinese citizen, you can obtain your current status, so this law does not embarrass anyone. But if you want to divide the country in the name of occupying land, that would be unpleasant. It's easy to get together and get together, it's fine if you look down on China, but while using the land that saves lives, you want to give the rented land and the harvest to foreign countries, its evil neighbors, how can this be the case in the world?
There are not all unreasonable people among these troublemakers, at least Jin Sanshun is one of them. He was originally a secretary of the Huibei Reclamation Branch when he first joined. He also owned ten acres of thin farmland in Huichun, and his family lived a decent life.
The reason why I joined the First Advancement Association is because it is a Korean organization. In Huichun, where the rule of law and discipline are loose, joining it will at least guarantee your political status. But just because he is in the organization, he has a clear understanding of the events that are happening in the Northeast. Zhang Zuolin's steps to control the Northeast are getting bigger and bigger, and his actions are becoming more and more steady. You will immediately face the question of whether to obey or stand on the opposite side.
The Japanese are also infiltrating, but they are not as upright as the autonomous government. They still have to worry about the impact, right? As soon as the young marshal's order was issued, all Huichun's military and political agenciesIt got busy, and there were already heavily armed soldiers and police patrolling the streets of Huichun that day. An informant reported that people at the regional police station had been constantly coming in and out for days, and the lights inside were not turned off at night. It was said that the target was directed at Yijinhui.
As long as you are not stupid, you will know that it is best to avoid its sharp edges first. Therefore, with caution, he objected for the first time in his life to the opinion of his leader Park Seung-jung: "The young marshal is coming very hard, should we avoid the limelight first?"
But Park Chengzheng believes that this is exactly what the Chinese government wants. If one's side gives in so easily when the thunder is loud but the raindrops are small, there will not be many people who will mix with them later. This is a side recognition of the authority of the government. Therefore, this time is a good opportunity to make things bigger. As long as it gets bigger, the Japanese masters will definitely raise concerns in a timely manner. At that time, as soon as they enter the Huibei Reclamation Branch, they can negotiate with the government as the principal, and the results may be drastically reversed.
This is how a large place like the Far East was lost, and this is how some places south of the Tumen River were gained It has proven successful over time.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing issued a decree the afternoon before and sent him a big gift as soon as he entered the meeting the next morning: more than 10,000 Korean settlers marched toward Huichun City in a mighty manner the next morning. Shuai, demand Korean autonomy and cancel taxes on the land they reclaim!
According to the normal steps of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China governments in dealing with civil unrest, Park Chengzheng planned that the young marshal would come to the door in person, and then refute their claims in a condescending manner, "with reason, benefit and restraint" based on the magnanimity of the Heavenly Kingdom. They behaved nonsense, and then changed their attitude in a stern voice, saying that they would "consider and consider" their "reasonable" appeals, promising benefits and sweeteners in exchange for their nominal approval, and then everyone was happy and "appropriate" Disposal”…
Based on his understanding of Chinese officialdom, everyone has always done this.
But he would never have imagined that Zhang Hanqing was not an official from the bottom of his heart. His biggest title was actually just a middle-level backbone in the factory. In essence, he was just an angry young man.
So his plan is destined to not work in fact.
With so many people showing up at the same time, no one is interested in harvesting the annual summer grain. The dark crowds on the road have given the common people whose ancestors have never seen much of the world amusement.
It is said that these Korean settlers are going to Huichun to protest, and they have been out since night. Ordinary Northeastern people are very happy when the government allocates land, so not many agree with their approach. Growing grain and paying taxes has always been the norm from ancient times to the present. If you want to refuse to pay taxes, which government will agree to it!
But you can’t keep people united.
"I heard from our ancestors that these sticks were very poor when they first arrived, and the aborigines had to give them food and drink. Some people even helped give them tools to clear the wasteland. Their ancestors had all received favors from their ancestors. But after they settled down, the original simple folk customs would inevitably change: quite a few of these settlers, relying on their unity, did things that made their neighbors uneasy. As for competing for fertile land and beach land, let alone it.
“In addition, they spoke a Korean dialect that the locals could not understand except for the border residents who came earlier. As time passed, they inevitably divided into two groups: one group of locals and one group of Koreans who came here in batches. In the end, half of the 800,000 people in Huichun were Korean settlers or their descendants.
??The traditional Chinese Confucian culture is that people from afar are guests, so it is very easy for foreigners to integrate into China, and there is minimal rejection. But when the Korean settler population became the mainstream, especially after North Korea was annexed to Japan, they had a different perception of the local Chinese.
They no longer appreciate the efforts, enthusiasm and friendliness that the Chinese have put in for them, and begin to covet the land at their feet. As soon as they entered the association, they raised the banner of Korean autonomy. Their theory sounded very confusing: This land was also cultivated by our ancestors, and we have lived here for generations. Why should we be subject to the Chinese? The tube?
This argument is very popular, just like in Mao's era, Changbai Mountain was co-administered by China and North Korea for the sake of the overall friendship between China and North Korea. Later, a group of shameless Korean literati "researched" and found that the entire Changbai Mountain, the entire Northeast, and even the entire Far East and part of East China were The same historical territory of Korea. I am from South Korea, Qu Yuan is from South Korea, and they even shamelessly applied for the "Dragon Boat Festival World Heritage"
Zhang Hanqing has long wanted to deal with them. They are even more hateful than the Japanese. At least they are showing off their muscles openly
Now, he was on a high platform outside the city, quietly watching these clowns doing their best.
As the saying goes: Once a person exceeds ten thousand, there are no boundaries. Although the crowd was less than 10,000, and there were still many people on the road, the scene of so many people suddenly gathering in silence was really depressing. Looking at the dark crowd, Huichun Mayor Xu Nailin was still panicked, even though Zhang Hanqing had already rehearsed with him the possible counterattacks as soon as the attack entered. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Despite the overwhelming crowd, Huichun Mayor Xu Nailin was still panicked even though Zhang Hanqing had already rehearsed with him the possible counterattack as soon as the attack was carried out.

It’s not that Xu Nailin is incompetent and can be ranked as one of the three heroes of Jilin. It’s not that he doesn’t have a few skills. At least he can be recruited by Zhang Hanqing and he won’t be mediocre. He successively served as county magistrate, general magistrate of Heilongjiang Dalai Department, deputy magistrate of Hailun Zhili Department, and alternate magistrate. In 1907, he served as etiquette and academic counselor of the Governor-General's Office of the three eastern provinces. In 1909, he served as the first secretary of the Imperial Envoy's Internal Affairs Bureau. In the same year, he was appointed as the Heilongjiang Xingdong Military Preparation Road; in 1910, he was appointed as the Civil Affairs Envoy of Heilongjiang, participated in the Middle East Railway Council, and presided over the line selection and survey of the Jilin-Changchun Railway. It can be said that his experience is extraordinary. If nothing happens, he will serve as the governor of Jilin Province in two years.
Zhang Hanqing was able to successfully take over the Middle Road, and he played a big role in it, so he was appreciated. It happened that Zhang Hanqing knew that he was the author of the book "Preparing for the Border—Managing Mongolia and Tibet to Preserve China". In order to prepare for the Huichun incident, he appointed him as the mayor of Huichun through Zhang Zuolin six months ago.
He still has a very vicious vision and believes that Zhang Hanqing's plan for dealing with border issues and ethnic issues is very promising. The older generation of immigrants have a very low sense of identity with the country, so they are not given citizenship rights anyway; when the new generation is born, due to the environment, the education they receive, and the dilution of the concepts of the original ethnic group and the original country, Be better able to integrate into the new country. In this way, the granting of citizenship will be a matter of course.
Just like the current overseas Chinese in Chinatown, most of them are only based on race and blood relationships as ties. They are far from the first-generation immigrants in terms of thoughts, feelings and enthusiasm for integrating into foreign societies. Many people can no longer speak Chinese and write Chinese characters. Even in their concept, China is just a distant country where their ancestors once lived, nothing more. As for national identity, there is no such thing. They identify more with the land where they live, which is natural.
The concept of equal citizenship rights of all ethnic groups dilutes the attributes of the nation. Although it is detrimental to the survival of weak ethnic groups in the early stage, just like the absolute equality claimed by able-bodied people and weak people on the same starting line, but The government can definitely have many other methods, such as social relief and conscious regional economic policy tilt. The state can provide help, but it is only based on love and care for its citizens, rather than special treatment for a certain ethnic group, so as not to breed strange psychology and feel that this ethnic group is different.
Therefore, he welcomed Zhang Hanqing’s policy of “treating such separatist tendencies with extreme severity and dealing with foreign countries with extreme toughness” with both hands. But he was afraid that doing so would give others—mainly Japan—an excuse. But Zhang Hanqing's words dispelled his worries.
"Precisely because the Japanese are here, we must act quickly and ruthlessly to calm the situation before they have time to react. After a fait accompli is created, we must kill whoever needs to be killed, expel what needs to be expelled, and close what should be imprisoned!" Without waving flags and cheering, the Japanese can hardly make waves. Moreover, I have the right to open the Huichun border. As long as I withstand the pressure, the Japanese will not be able to legitimately intervene unless war is declared. I think at this moment, the Japanese Our eyes are fixed on the Russian Far East, and we can only protest here verbally. This is actually a good time for us to stabilize Jilin."
"The reason why these Koreans in China dare to be so rampant is just because they borrowed the courage of the Japanese. If they don't deal with it quickly and decisively, then there are a large number of Russians who have followed suit. Who is the master of the Northeast?! "
For local officials who are accustomed to the Japanese encroachment, Xu Nailin actually wishes that the top management of the central government could support him so that he could straighten his waist in the area under his jurisdiction. This is the wish of almost every patriotic official. ideal. For so many years in the Northeast, I have only seen Zhang Zuolin occasionally show his arrogant demeanor and compete with the Japanese in a battle of wits and courage. Now, the young commander-in-chief also holds the same mentality. He is very pleased: not every person in power in China has no backbone.
However, he still held a prudent thought - the more this happened, the more necessary it was to care for his growth. He said to Zhang Hanqing: "Young Marshal, this is a serious matter. Should you talk to the Marshal first?"
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is difficult to contact Zhang Zuolin in Fengtian in time for some things. If this is just Zhang Hanqing's temporary anger, if the patrol envoy does not support it after the incident becomes serious, it will be a huge blow to him. As an insider, he also heard rumors about some veteran generals competing for power with the young marshal. Once it fails, it will give bullets to the opposition.
Zhang Hanqing shook his head and said with a smile: "No need, now I am thinking of a very good excuse to solve this problem once and for all, so that no one can say anything."
He said leisurely: "Aren't the Japanese accustomed to frame-ups? This time I will treat others in their own way. Mayor Xu, just do it in a big way. I guarantee that there will be no problems."
Such a large-scaleIn the past, the first thing local officials would do to cover up changes was to try to reduce major issues to minor ones. Whether before or after time travel, "maintaining stability" has always been a one-size-fits-all assessment for local officials, without any courtesy.
So for Park Seung-jung, he is not afraid of making a big fuss, but is afraid of keeping his voice low. He spent a lot of thought and money on such a "petition" with tens of thousands of people. Several of his subordinates, the main backbone of the "Yi Jin Hui", were arranged step by step to mobilize their whole families to go to the homes of various Korean settlers to lobby, saying that as long as they cooperated with the show, they would definitely be exempted from paying local taxes in the future. . As for the consequences, China has always ignored the law, and with the Japanese backing it, there is nothing to be afraid of.
As for "autonomy", they didn't think too much about it. It's not like there was a chance in the past. Just use it as a bargaining chip in negotiations. Negotiation has the word "talk" in it, so it requires some "talking resources".
Most of the Korean settlers who came here were brought along, and they may still have some illusions. According to Chairman Park, people in Lai De will be exempted from at least half of their taxes and grains in the future. The rest are either die-hard family members who joined the association, or a bunch of gangsters who are really obsessed with "autonomy" - there is no point in showing off their strength in Chinese territory all the time, it is better to work alone.
Seeing that the gathered people were already gaining some momentum, Park Seung-jung, as the leader, unfurled a banner with the words "Korean reclamation residents call for Jiandao autonomy" clearly written in black letters on a red cloth, which made Zhang Hanqing, who was already confident, come back. He couldn't help but bursts of anger welling up from the bottom of his heart. Damn, it’s really embarrassing!
What the hell, a place with a big ass dares to call it "Korea" at every turn. This North Korea has only been in the hands of Japan for more than ten years. How can it learn this trick so thoroughly? They are the "Empire of Japan", so they are called "Great Korea"! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Gao Jiyi, Jiang Huanan, Tan Hai and others who had been following him for a long time were also angry. Jiang Huanan rolled up his sleeves and said: "Young Marshal, I will bring people to smash it!" Gao Jiyi also said: "Anyway, we are almost ready, I will send people Catch him and take care of him!"
Zhang Hanqing breathed out dullly and said slowly: "It won't take more than a moment, let's see how they perform first." He was able to be so calm and relaxed because he was confident.
Both Bangzi and their Japanese masters like to play tricks on each other. This time, he is going to trick them all.
He would have really wanted to do this if he hadn't started to pay attention to health care as he rose through the ranks and took "Be calm when faced with important events and don't believe that there are no ancient sages" as his motto. Although he has been married for many years and there is news that Yu Fengzhi is pregnant, his body is still at the age of eighteen, and his mature mind needs to suppress his youthful frivolity.
In fact, it is precisely because of my mature thinking that I am more youthful and frivolous
“I won’t say it anymore, anyway, Zhang Hanqing thought he deserved a beating, so he focused on these two words. Behind him were Huichun Mayor Liu Nailin and Huichun City Police Chief Wang Geng. They had already made arrangements in an orderly manner and were waiting for that moment.
Park Chengzheng stood at the front of the team, followed by a few backbones holding banners. From a distance, he saw Chinese officials and police standing in the middle of the road, blocking their way to Huichun City. The police on the other side did not dispatch to disperse them as they had done a few days ago, nor did they offer any earnest persuasion. They just stood there quietly, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
He couldn’t help but look back. Not far away, several staff members of the Japanese Consulate General in Jiandao were also hiding in the crowd with makeup, which made him feel a little relieved. "Success or failure depends on one move," he thought, then straightened his clothes and stepped forward.
"I request to meet with the young marshal and the mayor"
Jiang Huanan was ordered to stop in front, and behind him were a group of guards armed with live ammunition. If Park Chengzheng's eyes were right, he could also see a black hole not far behind them - a machine gun! He almost screamed.
"Who is here? We have something to handle at the bureaus of the city hall. With so many people here, are we going to start a civil uprising?" This is Wang Geng who is accompanying Jiang Huanan. He is the police chief and is directly responsible for local appeasement. .
"I, Park Seung-jung, am the representative elected by the Korean settlers, and I want to discuss with the mayor the law on abolishing the discrimination against the Koreans" He recited his manuscript slowly, with an expression that was neither humble nor overbearing. The Korean people are very impressed: "China and Korea are mixed, and disputes often arise. Today, at the request of 400,000 people, I strongly demand Huichun autonomy and let Koreans govern Korea"
Wang Geng knew today's conclusion and had already decided on a strategy. Before he could finish speaking, he said, "Are you done?"
Park Chengzheng was stunned for a moment, and such an answer surprised him. He thought about the angry rebuttal of the Chinese officials, and thought about the Chinese officials once again using force to disperse the crowd, but he did not expect that the other party was so tepid, and his punch felt like hitting cotton. The row of policemen standing upright behind Wang Geng were not angry and intimidating, and did not even look at him, which made him feel relieved.
Wang Geng smiled and said, "It's my turn now that you've finished speaking!" He picked up a microphone, shouted to the crowd, "Are you going to rebel?" Even though he looked so polite, this The drink is still very powerful.
"This is the boundary of Huichun City of the Republic of China; here are the troops of the Jilin Border Defense Appeasement Office! You assemble without authorization, block traffic, threaten the government, and harass the people. You have seriously violated the laws of the Republic of China! The city hall has issued a decree the day before yesterday. , due to frequent banditry in various places, gatherings of people are strictly prohibited. Don’t you know this! I am the police chief of Huichun. I solemnly reiterate that you must go home immediately. If you do anything like this again, you will be severely punished! "
The crowd looked at each other in confusion. No matter how domineering the refugees were, they knew that being associated with the Northeastern Beard was definitely not a good thing. They all set their eyes on Park Chengzheng.
Park Chengzheng saw him silence the crowd with just one word. He knew that if he didn't say anything, the situation would be difficult to deal with. Is it possible that he really wanted to attack the opponent's front line composed of officials, police and soldiers? After all, there is no use of force to resolve this issue in the plan.
He stopped the topic again and said: "We are all just ordinary people in Huichun. We all came spontaneously to ask the government to agree to Korean rule"
Wang Geng pointed the loudspeaker at him and said sternly: "Where is your ID card?"
Park Chengzheng almost fainted. This was the first time in all his years in the Northeast that someone had asked him this question in person. Is this a problem? He never thought it was a problem. But now comes the problem, and this is a problem.
The ID card has been in China for two thousand years.It’s over. Since the Shang Dynasty Reform, Qin people have needed something like this when going out. Otherwise, passing customs and accommodation will be problems. Later, in the entire Confucian world, except for scholars and later scholars and above, and officials who did not need it, ordinary people needed such a thing when going out. Of course, due to the feudal society's emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business, many people only went as far as the county seat throughout their lives.
The ID card of that era was called Luyin.
Zhang Hanqing knew the importance of this piece of paper. In later generations, that small card carried many social functions and greatly facilitated people's lives, especially in the era of talent mobility.
So after time travel, he referred to the practices of this era and officially issued them as a pilot during the land reform of the New People's Republic of China. At that time, all Xinmin families obtained this thing through Baojia certificates from various places. The staff who went to the countryside also used this to find out the population distribution of the county, which added a lot of help to the subsequent land distribution and reform.
Of course, due to limited conditions, it was impossible to take a photo of the certifier as a "memory", so a very rustic but very effective method was used at that time: the description method.
“The length should be filled out in a few feet, inches, and minutes, and the appearance should indicate whether the facial features are correct, whether the nose, ears, and eyes are complete, and whether there are pockmarks on the face. Symptoms such as lameness, deafness, paralysis, and stuttering must be accurately filled in in the characteristics column.” The most amazing thing is to fill in the bucket lines on the fingers. When filling in the certificate, you must read the ten fingers of the holder one by one. For “bucket” lines (the fingerprints are circle-shaped with no openings), mark ○, and for “kei” lines (the fingerprints are not circle-shaped, but have openings), mark x…
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????This is not Zhang Hanqing's pioneering work, but can be traced back to the official history of the warlord Ma Hongkui of Ningxia Province more than 20 years later. But first come, first served. In any case, it was Zhang Hanqing's first in this world.
Because of the rapid development of basic industries, more and more workers are entering cities, factories, and mines. This identification system is still very effective for the management of outsiders. It is especially convenient for the management of foreign expatriates. Therefore, first Fengtian, then Heilongjiang, and then Jilin fully introduced this system. However, Huichun is located in a remote area, and Jilin was conquered last, so this system has not yet been popularized here.
Zhang Hanqing started from here and vigorously required all border residents to register. In fact, he was blocking the neck of the tax resistance. With complete household registration, the land reform team will be able to quickly determine the true and false status of the land under its jurisdiction. As long as the evidence is conclusive, I'm afraid you won't cooperate obediently? Do you really think that the state machinery is used for food?
Koreans who have joined the Republic of China officially have identity certificates, and Koreans who are willing to live in China can obtain green cards. There are historical factors in this regard, and Zhang Hanqing will not be embarrassed. However, the Korean people who have neither identity documents nor green cards are the targets he wants to eliminate this time. Whether they are deceived or want to fish in troubled waters, there are no exceptions in the face of right and wrong. Zhang Hanqing wants to use this action to let those who are on both ends of the spectrum taste the medicine of regret, and also let any ethnic group with different thoughts know the country's methods and determination to deal with ethnic issues.
Because of the decline of the Qing government, Korea was annexed by Japan, which also gave rise to the awakening of the Korean nation, but it was just another extreme: contempt for the former Celestial Kingdom. Park Seung-jung has always claimed that he is a citizen of Korea, so he has always had an indifferent attitude towards applying for this certificate. The border between China and North Korea is intertwined, and people can easily travel across the river. Household registration management is inherently difficult. Coupled with the weak administrative capacity of the government, this place has always been a paradise for illegal immigrants. How could he easily join the Chinese government?
Therefore, Wang Geng hit the target with one strike.
As if he was ready, Wang Geng said loudly: "The government has declared martial law, and you can't produce proof of identity. I suspect you are a bandit! For safety reasons, in accordance with the law, I will arrest you on the spot and wait for further review." !”
Before he finished speaking, two policemen stepped out of the crowd and handcuffed Park Chengzheng's hands.
This is the police equipment that Zhang Hanqing obtained from Zhu Qiqian. It is much easier to use than ropes and is more elegant. After all, it was the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. They sent 5,000 pairs at a time without even frowning. In addition to the two officers assigned to each grassroots police station, hot spots also have other allocations, such as Huichun. Perhaps, this is also the first time that new police equipment has been used in the Northeast. If Park Seung-jung knew that he was the first to eat crabs, would he feel lucky or unlucky?
But at this time, he was not in the mood to yearn for the glory of being the first person. As he struggled, Park Chengzheng felt that the iron hoop in his hand was getting tighter and tighter, piercing into his flesh. Even so, he still yelled viciously: "I am a national of South Korea, you can't just arrest me!" After all, he was at a loss for words, and now he took the initiative to reveal his identity.
Wang Geng made a heavy gesture, and one of the policemen hit Park Chengzheng hard in the face with his elbow, causing him to twist in pain and become speechless. There are three or four of us, what happened to the Koreans? I'll hit you!
Although he hoped that the police could "handle cases in a civilized manner", Zhang Hanqing took the initiative to ignore this behavior. I can’t tell that the gentle Wang Geng’s methods are still very bloody, but I like it! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)What happened to the Chinese people? I'll hit you!

Wang Geng pointed at him and said loudly: "You are not a citizen of the Republic of China. Why are you trying to create autonomy on our territory? If you can't produce relevant proof later, I will still charge you with banditry!" Then he pointed the loudspeaker at the villagers again. Citizens: "You are asking for a living in the Northeast. Have our people treated you badly? Is there any land in the world that does not pay taxes? This is China's territory. If you don't want to stay, you can leave. If you want to mess up this place, you can't! I reiterate once again, don’t be deceived by others, think clearly about the consequences and leave! If the turmoil continues, anyone who wants to be shot can just come over!"
The crowd is noisy, how is this happening? The leader was caught after three strikes, five divided by two, what should I do now? When did Chinese officials become so tough in their words and not afraid of making matters worse?
Or as the old saying goes, a snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without a head. A group of ragtag people, without any rehearsal, just followed the crowd and made trouble. Suddenly, they were defeated by an army, and their true colors were immediately revealed.
Fortunately, there are still a few people in charge. Park Chengzheng was arrested, which greatly weakened their energy, and they all turned their attention to a person hiding in the crowd. As soon as he entered the meeting, Cui Yongzhi, the second oldest merchant in Huichun, was the first to come to the rescue: "Odagiri-kun, what should we do?"
Odagiri is the surname; the given name is Hideo. He is the director of Jiandao Police Station, and he is actually the mastermind behind this riot. However, it is not convenient for him as a Japanese to show up directly. Being on the front line, he loses the possibility of playing the role of "mediator". He was a little angry and cursed secretly: "Damn stick!" He didn't want to be pushed to the front desk so easily. But seeing that it seemed like it was going to be quiet, I didn't care anymore.
He stood up and walked towards Wang Geng with a serious face. Wang Geng looked at him coldly, actually recognizing him, but still asked coldly: "Who are you? Do you have proof of identity?"
Odagiri Hideo stood up straight and said word by word in stiff and slow Chinese: "My lord, the director of the Imperial Japanese Police Station in Shimajima is Odagiri Hideo!"
In fact, the current site of Jiandao Police Station has been covered by the Consulate General of Japan. In 1907, under the pretext of "protecting the lives and property of Koreans," Japan forcibly dispatched more than 60 Japanese police officers, brazenly crossed the Tumen River, illegally invaded Longjing Village, Yanji County, and set up the "Fujian Island Temporary Police Station of the Korean Unification Supervisor" to carry out espionage. In November 1909, the "Korean Unification Supervisor Fu Jiandao Police Station" was renamed "Japanese Consulate General Jiandao". However, in order to facilitate their exercise of "public security" power in Jilin, the police station is still maintained in name. Odagiri Hideo is not only the director of the police station, but also has the responsibility of "protecting" the consulate.
Wang Geng was unmoved and still asked calmly: "Oh, what are you doing here?"
Odagiri Hideo raised his head arrogantly: "I am responsible for the security of Huichun. Now that there is a big chaos, I naturally want to come out to calm the situation. Director Wang, your attitude towards the settlers is too bad!"
Wang Geng sneered and said: "Huichun is a Chinese place. When will it be your turn as an outsider to take on the responsibility of public security? When I, the police chief, do I need you, the police station chief, to step forward? As for negotiating with the settlers, , it’s our internal affairs, we don’t need you to interfere!”
Although he is a man of culture, Wang Geng has been a military attache for a long time, and he still has a bit of heroism in him, and he dares to make sarcastic remarks to Hideo Odagiri in front of him. Unlike some local officials and officials from the central and foreign ministries today, they have lost their essence, spirit, and spirit and become grandsons internally and externally.
It is true that Hideo Odagiri is the director of the police station, but it is not within the jurisdiction of Wang Geng, the police chief. Even the Jilin Police Department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China have no jurisdiction. In this era, for Japanese officials to use this term, it is as ridiculous as the joke from Stephen Chow "Using the sword of the Ming Dynasty (Shang Fang) to kill the officials of the Qing Dynasty".
Seeing that the commonly used tricks didn’t work, Odagiri Hideo was very angry. Not only did this not give him face, it also didn’t give the empire face! He pointed at Park Chengzheng and said sternly: "This man is a Korean citizen under the Empire of Japan. You have to give me a reason for detaining him without reason. Otherwise, you will be responsible for all the consequences!"
Wang Geng was unmoved. He also pointed at Park Chengzheng and smiled instead of being angry: "The consequences? Mr. Odagiri, please watch out! This man has an affair with a beard, commits rebellion, and does everything in Huichun, smashing, robbing, and killing. It turns out that Are you the accomplices behind the scenes? Do you dare to bear the responsibility for causing the chaos in Huichun and the mixture of people and bandits?!"
Odagiri Hideo was stunned for a moment. Wasn’t he detained just now because he had no identification? How could he become an accomplice in the blink of an eye? If we don't pull it back, in front of so many minions, do we still want to lose the empire's face? Only by fighting hard against hard will you have a chance to win the next round!
He said loudly: "The world is bright and clear?Where did the smashing, looting and killing come from? Don't be slanderous. The Imperial Police are here and will not tolerate your false accusations! "
Wang Geng wanted exactly what he said. He pointed his finger and said with a smile: "If those people are not bandits, are they the good people you call them?"
In the distance, a large group of warriors rushed towards the crowd. They are said to be warriors because they all have white cloths wrapped around their heads and their upper bodies are bare, a typical samurai feature found only in Japan and South Korea. They are said to be bandits because they all hold short sticks and attack the crowd ferociously. They were extremely ruthless and targeted the vital points. Wherever they went, there was wailing and chaos. A large group of people were led by a few strong men, forming an arrow that tore a gap in the crowd, winding like a wave.
The reason why it was not discovered in time was that there were too many people at the scene and the noise was very loud. However, this group of people was quite large in number. Although they had just appeared, due to their strong fighting power, they quickly cleared a bloody path.
??????????????????? There are many people maintaining order as soon as you enter the meeting, otherwise a ragtag group of people would not be able to organize themselves. However, this group of people is obviously well-trained, strong and well-prepared. How can the stick guys who want to gain some benefits through "petition" be their opponents?
Cui Yongzhi was shocked. Although some people were organized to make noise in the crowd when they entered the meeting, there were no arrangements for such thugs. There were at least hundreds of people in this group, but they were not of this size once they entered the meeting. When the stick goes down, it will either hit the head or hit the stomach, both of which are harmful to people. The sticks were three feet long, wrapped in iron hoops, and stained with a piece of green. If hit, there would be a wisp of blood. If hit on the head, it could knock someone unconscious. When the stick meets the real stick, they still can't withstand it.
Seeing the commotion in the crowd, Wang Geng felt so happy that he couldn't help but look at Zhang Hanqing behind him. The young marshal still had a high idea and arranged in advance for some soldiers to disguise themselves as Korean thugs to fight the tough with super toughness. These hateful sticks may wake up after a few beatings, and know who is the master and who is the guest here. To be a guest, you must have the consciousness of a guest!
A whole reinforcement battalion of men and horses, the young marshal is really willing to give up! But if there weren't so many people, it might not have been able to create such a momentum.
"Petition" is one thing, but to cause a "big chaos" in Huichun and a "fight" situation, there is no reason to go! If something like this happens, the Jilin Provincial Government can completely suppress it by pretending to bring gangsters into the society to commit evil. It is so grand. Even the Japanese will not be willing to be involved. After all, it is still a hat.
Cui Yongzhi knew the pros and cons, because at this time, Odagiri Hideo's "concerned" eyes also swept towards him. As the current big boss who entered the association, he had to step in to stop it. He boldly stepped forward and greeted, "Who are you?"
He was answered by a stick flying towards him. Although he dodged quickly, his shoulder was still hit, causing burning pain. In the encounter just now, he clearly felt the unquestionable ferocity in his opponent's eyes.
This is a fatal rhythm Cui Yongzhi shuddered. He wanted to run, but people were already surrounding him on both sides. At this time, everyone around him escaped. As for Bangzi, they are also common people who have never seen the world. Their bodies are no match for the real Bangzi. Therefore, without shouting or persuading, the stickmen took the initiative and fled. You can imagine what a moving scene it was to see more than 10,000 people scattered on roads, fields, and woods.
But Cui Yongzhi can’t run away. The moment he turned around, he was hit in the back of the head with a stick. In his daze, he felt a stick hit his neck, and the huge pain caused him to pass out quickly.
The fastest runner is Jin Sanshun. Almost at the moment Cui Yongzhi was knocked down, he decisively jumped up and ran away. Maybe he was destined to have smooth sailing in this life. He quickly escaped from the crowd. Otherwise, how could he be called Sanshun? The remaining rational thought in his mind told him that these people had planned it in advance.
Because Huichun government representatives, the police and the army were all indifferently watching this bloody fight. To be precise, it was a one-sided blow. The young marshal, hidden among a group of heavily armed soldiers, was observing the scene indifferently. The wailing and painful struggles of the fallen people made him still feel a little unbearable after experiencing the war. But thinking that this pain may wake them up, may preserve peace on the Sino-North Korean border for a few years, and may show the Japanese the determination of the autonomous government to not give up any ground, it is all worth it.
Use thunderbolts to show the bodhisattva's heart. There is no great good in letting some people bleed while sparing more people.
Those who are not of my race must have different minds. It’s time for these white-eyed wolves to suffer. It's a good life, but you have to follow the Japanese and do nothing. Not only do you want to be a bitch, but you also want to pick on those who are young. Are the kind-hearted Chinese people destined to be the targets of humiliation? In comparison, he was kind. He didn't use a gun this time If there was another time, he couldn't guarantee what kind of weapon he would upgrade to.
But their troubles have just begun. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)If there is a next time, he can't guarantee what weapon he will upgrade to.

Chapter 331 A sudden turn of events
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Odagiri Hideo looked at all this with his mouth open. He was unexpected that the Chinese would actually play this trick - not even the Empire of Japan would be so uh blatant! With their well-trained movements, everyone knew that these thugs were dressed as soldiers. However, no one can reveal it on the spot, so everything that happened will be in the mouths of Chinese officials!
Zhang Hanqing curled his lips slightly to express satisfaction. The special forces members trained by Ji Yiqiao can indeed block ten with one. This double military expenditure is not in vain. Not to mention using the army, even a group of gangsters with sticks can intimidate a large number of people. Think about the illegal demolitions in future generations, which will cost the lives of ordinary people, and it is not just left to a small group of people to do whatever they want! Now, if we just stop these stick guys from being so arrogant, what's wrong?
The only dissatisfaction is that Tan Hai and the others have surrounded him tightly and cannot take in the full view. It's not their fault. With so many people present and all of them being bewitched, there's no guarantee that there won't be a few desperate people among the crowd that would be detrimental to themselves. The Japanese, who had failed negotiations on the Middle East Road, probably hated themselves to the core, right? In the age of hot weapons, one bullet can kill someone. They are loyal protectors and have good intentions.
Seeing that the fuss was over, Zhang Hanqing gave an order to Jiang Huanan, who pulled out his pistol and fired three shots into the air, immediately calming everyone down. The surroundings suddenly became much calmer, except for the wailing sounds of a few seriously injured people who fell to the ground, which was particularly harsh.
Maybe the sound of gunshots was a signal? Anyway, the thugs roared and ran away from the crowd on the way back. Wang Geng sneered and said to Odagiri Hideo: "This Park Chengzheng and his gang colluded with the bandits and committed crimes and beat up the settlers in public. Is this all instigated by you?"
Odagiri Hideo is so dizzy. You are a bunch of people with long guns and short cannons, you even have machine guns set up, but you allow these thugs to commit murder and hurt people for a long time. Now fire a few blank bullets and you will immediately take control! Of course, he could not allow the Chinese police chief to justify himself and immediately said: "This is obviously a conspiracy!"
"Yes, this is a conspiracy!"
At some point, Zhang Hanqing separated from the guard and stood in front of him. He has grown taller in the past two years, a full head taller than Odagiri. It can be seen that when the same nutrition keeps up, the height gap between Japanese and Chinese people will be clear at a glance.
"The 'Ichijinkai' first provoked an illegal gathering of unknown people with the intention of putting pressure on the government, and then colluded with bandits to cause riots in order to frame the government. Fortunately, we were well prepared and prevented their conspiracy from succeeding! This Odagiri The director could see clearly that apart from shooting to scare off the bandits, no one from the government took action!"
He turned to look at Wang Geng: "Director Wang, why are illegal organizations like the 'Yi Jin Hui' not eliminated?"
Wang Geng cooperated with the acting: "Young Marshal, the 'Yi Jin Hui' has a large number of people, and it is said that they have a large number of hidden guns. The strength of our police station is far inferior to theirs. Besides, they have always claimed to be under the command of the Japanese headquarters, so it is very difficult to deal with them. "
Zhang Hanqing said angrily: "I don't believe it. A local organization is openly confronting the government! The Japanese government recognizes the government of the Republic of China, so how can it indulge them? They must be using tiger skin as a coat. Hunan, Inform the First Division to send a regiment over, destroy their base, and uproot this organization! If there is resistance, resolutely annihilate it!"
Facing the powerful young marshal, Hideo Odagiri knew that nothing he said would be of any use. Just like the Qing government signed one unequal treaty after another at the gunpoint of the great powers, everything is just a cloud, and strength is the backing! Now that Zhang Hanqing has this confidence, all he needs to do is use any name.
The outcome of "one entry into the meeting" is certain. When the Japanese behind them were helpless against the handcuffed Park Seung-jung, when thugs and gunshots appeared, and when the young commander characterized the incident as collusion with bandits, it ended badly. But when the distraught settlers once again trekked long distances back to their places of residence, they heard even worse news.
An hour ago, heavily armed troops stormed the headquarters of the Yijinhui Beikan branch (so quickly?), arrested all the people who stayed behind, and seized a large number of documents. Not only that, according to insiders, hundreds of long and short guns were also seized on the spot, confirming their crime of resisting the government. As for who the witnesses are, everyone has heard about it anyway.
“However, the Huichun City Hall and the Border Defense Appeasement Office made a big fuss out of this, clearly banning the organization and arresting the backbone of the “Yi Jin Hui”. In addition to the leader Park Seung-jung, the second-in-command Kim Yong-sik was arrested at the "petition" site. Several leaders were arrested in their lair, and several minor leaders escaped among the crowd.
They can't escape. The border between China and North Korea has been closed, and the entire Tumen River has been blocked by marine police. Hui?Martial law has been imposed, and household registrations are being implemented door-to-door in various places. No one dares to protect them at this time, and no one can protect them. They are like rats on the street, living a hard life in secret.
It’s not that the Consulate General of Japan in Jiandao didn’t get involved. However, the Huichun authorities with the young marshal as the core held a public trial, which frustrated their plan to exert pressure in private. After careful consideration, the Huichun Court formulated several charges such as "inciting bandits to commit crimes, concealing weapons in an attempt to fight against the government, illegally organizing assemblies, and conspiring to split the country" and prepared to sentence Park Seung-jung to death.
There is a lot of physical evidence: hundreds of long and short guns confiscated from the house are clear evidence, as well as letters exchanged with some Northeastern gangsters. Although the Japanese questioned the authenticity of these physical evidences, they could not prove that they were not copied. After all, the Chinese soldiers had confirmed that they were seized on the spot when they ransacked the house;
Thousands of injured settlers are also living witnesses. More than twenty of them died of serious injuries, dozens were left with lifelong scars, and hundreds of others are still lying in the hospital. These people were all used as proof that they were injured and killed by gangsters colluded with the "One Jinhui". Even the "Jiandao Autonomy" banner they started to raise was also used as evidence of the split.
There are also witnesses: at least hundreds of settlers have testified that the minions of the "Yijinhui" coerced them to participate in the "petition". In particular, the testimony of Jin Sanshun, one of the grassroots backbones of the "Yijinhui", adds more weight. He vividly described the process of the relationship between the leaders headed by Park Chengzheng and Hu Hu, and also pointed out that their conspiracy was to establish themselves as kings in Huichun, and expressed his regret on the spot with tears in his eyes. Of course, after consultation, the court also gave him a chance to reform and was acquitted.
Of course, some people question the group of heavily armed and well-disciplined "bandits," but no one knows where they come from or where they go. They can only believe in the "beard theory" proposed by the government that they will collude.
Originally, Zhang Hanqing wanted to take this opportunity to severely weaken the spirit of these refugees. However, after this incident, especially after the government mercilessly executed Pu Chengzheng in public, the registration of the settlers was changed from the original apathy. Became a crowd. The government is determined to do something. It has learned from past mistakes. Who is not afraid of being driven out? They were just deceived, not really stupid.
It was mainly because the bandit rebellion concocted by Zhang Hanqing really broke out inadvertently. Zhang Hanqing, who is also the commander of the Middle East Road Protection Army and the commander of border appeasement, had to participate in this huge campaign to suppress bandits. Therefore, it is natural to retreat in time and leave a stable and harmonious border. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 332 The bandits are coming
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
If the bandit rebellion that broke out in the Northeast had not seriously impacted the regime of the Northeast Autonomous Government and echoed Japan's policy of occupying the Middle East Road, it would have been poetic like "a sudden spring breeze came overnight, and thousands of pear blossoms bloomed on the trees." .
There is a line in the Peking Opera "Shajiabang": "In troubled times, heroes are everywhere, and if you have a gun, you are the grass-headed king." From the late Qing Dynasty to before liberation, banditry was serious in Northeast China, and grass-headed kings abounded. However, the bandits in the Northeast have a special title: Red Beard.
According to historical records, the red beards in the Northeast originated during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. By the time the red beards were eliminated in official history, they existed for nearly a century. In troubled times, most red-bearded men resorted to banditry, and some imitated the heroes of Liangshan and became chivalrous thieves. However, as the current situation changes, Redbeard has once become the target of exploitation by various forces.
The Cossacks played an important role in the Red Beards. These "leading parties" joined forces with the Red Beards and robbed a lot of property in Tsarist Russia. The Japanese spies also wanted to use Red Beard to harass the Russian army, but after paying and providing guns, Red Beard let him go.
Bandits are bandits, why are they called "Red Beards"? The basic composition of red beards is Han people. Ethnologically speaking, they will not grow red beards. However, where does the term red beards come from?
Russian scholar Murov published his travelogue "People and Customs of the Far East" in 1901. He said in the book: "A local hero can decorate his weapons with red rope tassels. When aiming, he holds the rope tassels between his teeth. So as not to get in the way. From a distance, the gunman seems to have a red beard." However, American Professor Billingsley held a different view. In 1988, he published a book "The Image of Bandits in the Society of the Early Republic of China". The book points out: "The bandits in Northeast China used red-dyed Chinese traditional Peking Opera beards as disguises in the early days."
The cause of red beard is very complicated and should be related to China's policies in the seventeenth century. According to the "Liaodong Recruitment and Reclamation Regulations", from 1644 to 1667, many people from Shandong immigrated to Manchuria. Due to immigration, the Liaodong area "expanded geographical advantages and increased the number of households." People from Hebei and Henan moved to Anshan, Liaoyang and Yingkou, while people from Shandong moved to Dalian and Dandong. Most of the immigrants who came to Kanto found land for farming on their own and were not protected by law. The imperial court was indifferent to their living conditions and adopted an attitude of letting things go and fending for themselves. As time passed, many people who entered Guandong found themselves in poverty and found it difficult to survive.
The Russian sinologist Bichulin wrote in his book "Statistics of the Chinese Empire" that among the Manchu immigrants, there were those who had been sentenced for crimes in the mainland and were repatriated or expelled from Manchuria. This kind of crowd will undoubtedly threaten the security of Manchuria. The French Catholic missionary Parno called Heilongjiang Yilan a city of sin and "the second Sodom". British writer Graham visited Qiqihar in 1886 and said that wherever he went, banditry was raging. He said that the city was comparable to Botany Bay in New South Wales, Australia, a paradise for illegal immigrants and convicts.
At that time, there was a lack of police force in Manchuria, and the public security was chaotic. In addition, the customs were experiencing unprecedented social, political and economic turmoil. Peasant uprisings were raging; foreign powers intervened and pressed harder These all gave birth to the folk bandit Red Beard. After 1878, the Qing Dynasty lifted the ban on Manchurian immigration, immigration surged, and red beards became rampant. In particular, the Eight Banners Army outside the Pass was transferred into the Pass to clear out the Taiping Army. At this time, the number of troops stationed outside the pass dropped sharply and the defense was empty. Redbeard's team took the opportunity to grow.
Since the Northeast has always been regarded as a "Longxing" land by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Han people were prohibited from entering the territory for farming. Over the past two hundred years, development has been extremely slow. In modern times, it has been regarded as fish and meat by Japan and Russia, and people from many parties have mixed together to form many forces. During the Republic of China, overt and covert disputes arose between the central government and local governments, and political power changed hands several times, resulting in local officials exploiting profits and disregarding people's livelihood. As time goes by, the people are not able to make a living, and they develop the desire to be bandits. Because the place is vast, the mountains are deep and the forests are dense, it is difficult to eradicate them in a short period of time. However, people and bandits are indistinguishable, and sometimes they are for the people and sometimes they are bandits, which increases the difficulty of eradication. Moreover, Japanese and Russian forces are spread throughout the territory, and bandits, spies, and traitors are everywhere, which adds to the variables.
There are rumors that Gao Shibi, who escaped, transformed into a famous bandit leader in the southeastern Jilin area. He also has a guard company of 100 people in his hands. He has combat experience gained from many years of military career, and he is especially knowledgeable about being a bandit. Originally, he had some kind of connection with the bandits in this area, but now he only needs to raise his arms and the people who make the noise will gather.
When the Japanese were racking their brains for the Middle East Road, they decisively found him, gave him funds and guns, and asked him as the eldest brother to lead a group of people to disrupt public order. The Japanese promised that if the matter came true, they would support him as the local military and political chief of Jilin. At a time when the country is weak, the central government will consider this "suggestion".
At that time, Zhang Zuolin only controlled most of the fertile areas in Fengtian Province and large and medium-sized cities in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces.In the remote places that Mr. Xi plans to use as his backyard, banditry has occurred repeatedly, and many places have become the world of "bearded" (bandits). According to incomplete statistics, in the Northeast, there are more than a hundred famous "bearded" heads with more than a few hundred people. At that time, there were a total of 154 counties in Northeast China, of which more than 100 were occupied by the "beards". Less than 50 counties were actually occupied by the Feng clan, and they were often under the threat of the "beards".
Land reform was relatively smooth in Fengtian. This was a place where Zhang Zuolin had been entrenched for many years. It was densely populated, had a relatively developed economy, and had many troops stationed there. Therefore, except for the occasional ineffective thieves, it was very peaceful for several years.
“But the situation in Jilin and Heilongjiang is very different. During the Republic of China, Jilin's area was far larger than in modern geography. At this time, there were still 22 counties that were not under the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang Province, and there was also a place in Heilongjiang that fell under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Province Special Area. Jilin has a large territory and few soldiers, so many places cannot be taken care of. Heilongjiang has various forces and chaotic management. Zhang Zuolin had just taken over the two provinces, and before he could reach remote areas, these restless guys gave him a blow.
The reason is the land reform carried out throughout Northeast China. As the "New Civilian Land Reform" gradually became effective, various places followed suit. Since the government is almost engaged in a capitalless "business" - forcibly taking back land from landlords and distributing it to landless peasants, and then promising principal and interest for 10 years, this is of course unacceptable to a large number of vested interests. Attracted by everyone's share of land and the "household responsibility system", the bearded men who were "unfirm" went home to farm one after another - becoming a bandit was not a long-term solution. The situation in Fengtian is better, because the government is backed by force. Most landlords can only curse in their hearts and curse this evil autonomous government. Some people in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces clamored to go to Beijing to submit their wishes, but outside the pass was no longer under the control of the central government, so some people cooperated with bandits to fight against Fengjun.
In order to break up the numerous bandits, Zhang Zuolin ordered notices to be posted in various places to accept the surrender of bandits everywhere. Not only will the government put the blame in the past, it will also give each person a piece of land for free (limited to Kyrgyzstan and Heilongjiang provinces, of course). Some larger bandit groups are even designated as local security forces on the spot, fighting fire with fire.
This is Zhang Zuolin’s experience in exchange for his career as a "horse boy". He himself was recruited to start a career, so he is very confident in this method. When we have food, who would do those things like drinking horse blood? He wanted to use the fields to loosen the bandits' alliance and allow them to settle down. Zhang Hanqing believed that it was impossible for a handful of untransformed bandits to become honest farmers, so he was not in favor of this alternative indulgence.
Some bandits who cannot afford hardship are first happy to obtain land, and then they are dissatisfied that they need to work on their own - how can the hard work in the fields be as satisfying as being a bearded man, eating meat and drinking in a big bowl? Moreover, free land from the government is not easy to obtain and requires various conditions. How can the bandits have such a happy time when they have to be controlled and burdened at the same time?
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? To bewitched by the Japanese, beards big and small became restless again. Many people still turned around and started their own profession.
So in May 1918, the "Central Beards" who were "confessed" in Northern Manchuria launched a riot, occupying Dongning, Dong'an, Tongjiang and other county towns, cutting off the railway transportation line from Mudanjiang to Jiamusi, and claiming to fight with Belarus The army "joined Harbin". Subsequently, in less than half a month, the "bearded" men looted the two county towns of Luobei and Yilan. In the city, shops of all sizes were looted. More than 20 cadres of the county government, including the Luobei County Magistrate, who had just taken office for more than ten days, were massacred. The wife of Yilan County Magistrate was raped by a bandit and hanged herself in anger. . So much so that the Japanese government, which has always coveted Northeast China, also expressed "concern" in a timely manner, meaning more than words.
How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Zhang Zuolin is determined to be the king of Northeast China. How can he let this small group of forces disrupt the overall situation?
The "beard" issue has developed into a major threat to the survival and growth of the Bong clan on the black soil. It is also very likely to give an opportunity to foreign intervention forces who seek to take advantage of the opportunity to interfere in the internal affairs of Northeast China. Although Zhang Zuolin was born with a beard, most of his subordinates were also born with a beard, but when the beard threatened his survival and authority in the Northeast, he did not hesitate to take action. Ten years ago, he became famous for suppressing bandits, and was honored by the court and the people as the "hero of suppressing bandits" in western Liaoning. Only then did he have the opportunity to strengthen his faction today. After many years, in order to ensure the stability of the Northeastern regime and the victory of land reform, another bandit suppression campaign was launched.
Under Zhang Zuolin's personal intervention, the headquarters of the Patrol Mission of the Three Northeastern Provinces decided to invest the main force in suppressing bandits, and appointed Zhang Zuoxiang, Chief of Staff of the Patrol Mission of the Three Northeastern Provinces, as the "Commander-in-Chief of Bandit Suppression", with Zhang Hanqing as the deputy general manager who actually carried out the executive duties. Commander, the governors of the three provinces delimited the area to encircle and suppress the bandits, with Zhang Hanqing as the general coordinator. This essentially marked that the young marshal once again stood at the top of the Feng army to coordinate and lead the forces of the old and new Feng factions.
This time, the old and new factions have given unprecedented support to the young commander's management. First, Zhang Hanqing was very military in his recent combat command, which convinced the old Feng clan, so Ji Jinchun, who was transferred to Jilin to assist in the suppression of bandits, obeyed; in addition, everyone has vested interests, and the banditry in Northeast China is essentially It will destroy everyone's jobs, so it is inevitable to share the same enemy.

Chapter 333 Suppressing Bandits

The banditry in Northeast China is indeed serious.
A "Situation Briefing" from the "Intelligence Office of the Inspection Mission of the Three Eastern Provinces" stated: In the basic area of ????South Manchuria, there are about 50,000 bandits, with larger groups ranging from 5,000 to 3,000 people. Key points Active in the triangle area of ??Tonghua, Harbin and Andong, the number of counties from the west of Zhongzhong Road to Rehe is small, but the average number is about a thousand people in each county.
The number of bandits in Northern Manchuria is huge, at least 100,000. Large groups are often entrenched in several counties, and they are well-equipped. Some even have field heavy artillery - left over from the Japanese-Russian war. What's even more disgusting is that some Japanese ronin also instigated Koreans crossing the river to disguise themselves as bandits and take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble in order to create a pretext.
What’s more, the red-bearded forces actually created a quasi-administrative entity. The border between China and North Korea is a paradise for red beards. The border between the two countries has a buffer zone that is 80 to 90 kilometers wide. After the red beards entered the buffer zone, they established a base camp near today's Dandong near the mountains. It is called the "Jiapigou Red Bearded Republic". After that, some North Koreans heard about it and even crossed the border to join. The Guards Division initially fought against Gao Shibi, and the first battle was also in Jiapigou.
The Northeast is vast and sparsely populated, and the Suppression Headquarters has extremely limited troops, while most of the bandits are scattered in remote mountains and forests. "Wild fire, in spring". Now with the great turmoil in the international situation, including the Middle East Route, the Russian Civil War, the interventionist army's new actions in the Northeast, and the beginning of the Northeast New Deal, etc., Zhang Hanqing still has a lot of work to do, and he cannot spend too much time on the vast The Northeast is playing hide-and-seek with the bandits; but once the situation is finally achieved, once the situation is relaxed, the bandits will come back.
The most irritating thing is that Gao Shibi ignored the good-natured major general brigade commander and insisted on going to the mountains to drop grass. I heard that he even got in touch with the Japanese and was made the commander of the "Northeast Allied Forces", together with the bandit king Lu Yonggui. Accept the support of the Japanese and officially confront the autonomous government.
Whether these stubborn bandits can be defeated in the Northeast depends on whether Feng Jun, Zhang Zuolin and his son can control the Northeast and serve as the basis for dominating China. Since it is an important thing to do, it must be done well. In any case, the strength of the bandits is still weak compared to the regular army, otherwise it would not be Zhang Zuolin sitting in Fengtian City but them.
Based on his past experience in suppressing bandits, Zhang Zuolin proposed the policy of "pursuing the bandits fiercely, attacking with wedges, and completely eliminating them" for Zhang Hanqing, who was new to the bandit suppression work. The patrol embassy offices in the three eastern provinces require all localities to issue notices to exert influence on the bandits: Those who rein in their horses and voluntarily surrender will not be punished; those who continue to do evil and are stained with the blood of the bandit suppressing army will be pursued to the end and will not be let go!
At the beginning, no one realized the difficulty of the work of suppressing bandits. Zhang Zuoxiang, Wu Junsheng and others were all converted from beards to national defense soldiers. They were familiar with the beard habit and felt that these former "companions" scattered in various places would not be able to do it. , as soon as the soldiers arrived, they immediately wanted to give me a clear sky. Zhang Hanqing is also full of enthusiasm. After experiencing the baptism of exterminating the Pakistani bandits and Gao Shibing's regular army, he now has incomparable confidence in military command. Before time travel, I watched "The Suppression of Bandits in Western Hunan" more as a kind of entertainment. Isn't it just a matter of years to have hundreds of thousands of bandits? His mind was still focused on how to carry out an economic development plan, but the facts gave him a blow and he quickly sobered up.
The original plan was to encircle, shrink, and annihilate. This theory is correct. The policy of suppressing bandits outlined by Zhang Zuoxiang is as follows:
Starting from Meihekou in Jilin, the safety zone is north of the Huinan, Panshi, Jilin, Shulan, and Yushu lines. This line must be as safe as the "Panshi" and has a security brigade stationed there. In order to prevent the disparity in strength caused by the dispersion of troops, the artillery regiment of the 28th Division was divided into companies in each county to form a firepower advantage; the main force of the 28th Division was to reinforce this line along Jiaohe, Dunhua, Antu, and Yanji in southeastern Jilin to The bandits in Kyrgyzstan were cut into two pieces, making it impossible to respond.
Heilongjiang must ensure the safety of major cities along the Middle East Railway Line. The three security brigades stationed on the North Manchuria Line were ordered to ensure the safety of the cities surrounding this line. Han Linchun's 1st Division is responsible for clearing out bandits in the area bordering the 28th Division south of the North Manchuria Line, and Wu Junsheng's 29th Division is responsible for the area east and south of the Songhua River.
The Guard Division is responsible for mobile clearing, strengthening the security of the cleared areas, and managing the areas as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on the garrison. Local governance is Zhang Hanqing's strength, and Zhang Zuoxiang's arrangements can be regarded as giving full play to his talents.
A big net covered the beards.
It’s starting to show results. The bandits in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces did not expect that Zhang Zuolin would dare to send out large-scale troops and mobilize people to suppress the bandits at a time when they were in trouble at home and abroad. Gao Shibi organized nearly a thousand newly surrendered bearded men from several hills to attack the garrison in Dunhua County. Within half a day, they had alreadyLost more than half——the opponent was the elite 28th Division! He was not an opponent in his own heyday, but now he wants to make a comeback with just a bunch of rabble? It’s too ridiculous!
Lu Yonggui also encountered considerable losses. When he led his troops to attack Panshi County, which had only one battalion of guards, he encountered an artillery counterattack and was stunned. Some bandits had never experienced artillery fire. When the shells hit the ground, they tried to run away from the bullet point and were directly blown into the sky. Witnessing this scene, Huzi was so frightened that he lost the idea of ??fighting head-on with the bandit suppressing army.
Four regular divisions and four security brigades basically controlled the more important counties in the province within a month. The bandits were suppressed between the vast white mountains and black waters. It seemed that the work of suppressing the bandits was over. This is also Zhang Hanqing's confidence when facing the doubts of Stephen and Hoshino.
Just when Zhang Hanqing was considering whether to withdraw some of his troops and take advantage of this rare opportunity to regain many of the territories cut off by Tsarist Russia, banditry began again. The bandits even attacked a military vehicle traveling on the road in the Middle East, causing Japan to be "stunned" and the international coalition forces to be in an uproar. Duan Qirui's government also called to ask why it had "surprised allied countries"! If Zhang Hanqing hadn't been given such a headache by a series of incidents that he couldn't stop scolding his mother, he would have really wanted to write an article called "On Surprise in Friendship Countries".
This time Stephen pretended to be a good guy: "Young Marshal, in view of the continuous banditry on the Middle East Road, which has affected our coalition's battle in the Far East, we are considering whether it is necessary to assist you in suppressing bandits." Hoshino said He said angrily: "The Japanese side has suffered heavy losses. The Fengjun army is unable to hold the Middle East route and urgently needs the assistance of the Japanese Empire!"
It’s nothing new for red beards to disrupt transportation. The China-Eastern Railway, originally located in the Northeast, has always been the main target of red beards’ looting. At that time, although Russian trains were escorted by soldiers, they were often attacked and robbed, causing losses to people and property. The Russians once wanted to clear up the wild mountains along the railway, but Red Beard never left ten kilometers on either side of the railway. Red beards objectively saved the Northeast from being devastated by the Russian army. Therefore, there is a reason why the Russians hate red beards. The intrusion of red beards on the Middle East Road was increasing day by day, so much so that in 1907, Lieutenant General Chichagov, the director of Russia's Post-Amur Border Guard Bureau, discussed with the then Russian Ambassador to Beijing Bogdilov many times how to strengthen defense and fight against red beards. , but there is still no solution.
This is a problem left over from history!
Although Zhang Hanqing was distressed, he still had to step forward and prevent the Japanese from intervening. He replied unceremoniously: "Three feet of ice does not freeze overnight. The Middle East Road Guard Army's attack on the bandits is very effective. Our efforts are exactly the performance of assisting your army in the Far East War. This time for your country I personally would like to express my sadness for the losses suffered. It is just unfortunate that we caught many of the culprits of this attack, and some of them were Japanese! I can only express regret for this."
What Zhang Hanqing said is either true or false. It is true that apart from the Russians, there are indeed Japanese among the red beards. Since 1905, the South Manchuria Railway Separation Zone has been guarded by the Japanese army. Soon after, this area became a paradise for Japanese criminals. What's more, the Japanese Kohinata Shiro and Nonaka Shinichiro personally led the main force of red beards to fight here and there, doing all the banditry. However, they cooperated with regular Japanese troops, especially intelligence agencies, and served Japan in the Japanese-controlled areas stipulated in the Treaty of Portsmouth. From this point of view, these Japanese red beards are actually spies for the Japanese army.
The fake is that these Japanese bandits were captured. In fact, they were captured in many bandits in many places and were not the group that attacked the military columns. However, when things are urgent, it is not bad to use them to top the tank. If your family members attack your own car, it has nothing to do with me!
Hoshino was helpless and could only say angrily: "I don't care about the course of the matter. This kind of thing can't happen again in the future. Otherwise, the Japanese army will definitely be armed to protect our military columns from being harassed!"
You don’t have to say it! But it is inevitable that the newly recovered Middle East Road can no longer be messed up, otherwise the Japanese will really be able to do this.
It’s one thing to think, but the fight against bandits is a special battle that is different from regular army battles. It has a set of special laws and tactical principles. In the early stages of the anti-bandit struggle, since the bandits were mostly small groups and scattered in the mountains and forests, it was difficult to fight annihilation battles, so the focus was mostly on defeating them. Over time, the bandits also figured out Feng's army's tactics. They withdrew from the city to avoid confrontation, conserve their strength, and wait for counterattack.
There is no use in defeating them. They use the familiar terrain to quickly gather together to form a local advantage. Repeatedly, they will not only delay the bandit suppressing army, but also have a chance to make a comeback. This is like the "guerrilla warfare" in history. It does not hurt Even if you move your muscles and bones, you won't be able to suppress the bandits successfully.
Lu Yonggui, the largest bandit leader in the southeastern part of Kyrgyzstan Province, had suffered a loss from the Guards Division last time. He knew that fighting against Fengjun would definitely be a waste of effort, so he wisely gave up the idea of ????attacking. He adopted the method of breaking up into pieces and wandered with the large force of the bandit suppressing army. Taking advantage of his familiarity with the terrain, he suddenly bypassed the main force and easily and skillfully entered the territory that the bandit suppressing army had just pacified. Following suit, the bandit-suppressing army's battle against Red Beard began to enter the hide-and-seek stage.
Zhang Hanqing was the first person in the Feng army to understand the power of "guerrilla warfare": when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy moves, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we advance. This was the germ of Mao Zedong's military thought later in history, and it relied on it to defeat four encirclement and suppression campaigns by the powerful Kuomintang's superior forces. Now, the bandits who have learned from the experience in the battle are doing the same thing. It depends on how the bandit suppressing army responds.

what to do?
While the members of the Fengjun Headquarters and the Suppression General Headquarters were having headaches, Zhang Hanqing had already conceived an idea that would have a profound impact on China in the future: to launch a massive people's war and completely submerge the bandits in the vast ocean of people's war.
I remember in middle school history that Japan’s encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army reached its peak during the War of Aggression against China, and even old people such as Zhu Mao had to spin yarn themselves. Fortunately, there were thousands of ordinary people who supported the war of resistance, and the Chinese Communist Party finally survived. This period of history tells us that people’s war is remarkable. The territory occupied by bandits now can only be regarded as their guerrilla zone, not a base area. As long as the autonomous government can unite the masses, it will be enough to make the bandits like rats crossing the street with nowhere to hide.
While dividing its troops to suppress bandits, the Northeast Bandit Suppression Headquarters issued an instruction to "mobilize cadres to go to the countryside and mobilize the masses", organizing a large number of military and political cadres to go to the countryside to carry out anti-hegemony, anti-corruption and land reform campaigns in stable areas. In a very short period of time, the Northeast Bandit Suppression Headquarters mobilized thousands of student soldiers who were still studying in martial arts halls, and established a large number of party groups with local party groups sent by the People's Party headquarters of Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces. The rural work group went deep into the vast countryside, mobilized the masses, and launched a massive "anti-trafficking liquidation" campaign and land reform. First, it was necessary to draw a clear line with bandits, and second, it was necessary to realize "land to the tiller."
The purpose of these tasks is to effectively separate ordinary people from bandits in areas where bandits are rampant. They had no food or clothing, and the bandit suppressing troops would not send them forward. At this time, there will be another major blockade. If the bearded people hiding in the deep mountains and old forests are not afraid of starving to death and freezing to death, they can just stay there.
Of course, in order for the anti-bandit army to create a relatively "safe" area for these semi-civilized and semi-military student soldiers to show their strengths, the anti-bandit army needs to defeat most of the main bandit forces. Otherwise, bloodthirsty will become The sexual bandits' treatment of the unarmed work team was so cruel that you can imagine it by slapping your head.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing issued the "Decision on the Suppression of Bandits" in the name of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Northeast Suppression, stating:
All divisions and brigades should regard the task of suppressing bandits as the most important thing for the current period of time. Each unit carrying out the task of suppressing bandits should make a comprehensive plan, prioritize, and implement a combination of concentrated forces to encircle and suppress and pursue and attack, so as to eliminate all evil and avoid the loss of previous troops. The phenomenon of banditry. The anti-bandit work in various places should be based on the principle of "eliminating one place, stabilizing another place, and ensuring death and resurrection".
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out large groups of enemies, focus on suppressing them; small groups of enemies, divided up their forces to suppress them; only the remaining bandits and scattered bandits, left to the local authorities to catch them!
To this end, in the southeastern Jilin Province and the central and southern Heilongjiang Province, where banditry is the most serious, several important cities have been connected to form a stable "safety zone", and then they have been advanced layer by layer.
Once a place is cleared with heavy troops, the main force can be appropriately transferred to adjacent places, but a certain amount of force must be reserved to prevent a large group of enemies from rebounding. Then the work of eliminating the small groups of remaining bandits was left to the local government and joint defense militia.
To achieve this, Zhang Hanqing put forward several principles: "In places where bandits are rampant, the military should be the main one and politics as the supplement; in places where the banditry has subsided, the politics should be the main one and the military as the supplement; in the strategic direction , all participating troops are required to "take bandits as the enemy and respond with the main force" and ideologically regard the suppression of bandits as a major and arduous task to complete."
The common people who suffered from banditry warmly welcomed the gentlemen of these working groups. They were firstly curious, secondly awe, and thirdly grateful for these gentlemen who could read and write, because the dolls truly did not take any advantage from the masses. It also helped them solve practical difficulties, guided and supervised the operation of land reform, and enabled the farmers to truly obtain land.
The three-pronged campaign of bandit suppression, land reform and "anti-traitor liquidation" achieved unprecedented success. In many places newly controlled by the Fengjun, governments led by the People's Party were established and began to operate effectively. Of course, due to fear of backlash, the heads of the governments in these places hold concurrent positions with the party. They obey the administrative arrangements of the two provincial governments externally and accept the leadership of the People's Party internally. In various towns and villages, police stations and joint defense teams have been established one after another to shoulder the important responsibility of protecting families when the main force withdraws. Naturally, a certain number of Feng troops will be stationed in places not far away, which not only embolden local governments, but also prevent large groups of bandits from suddenly appearing.
The People's Party went to the countryside, which enabled the anti-bandit force with Zhang Hanqing as the main leader to survive the most difficult stage and gain great prestige in the Northeast. More importantly, these local cadres became an important cornerstone of Fengjun's control of local areas, and later became the backbone of the People's Party, adding strength to the talent pool.
The bandits began to taste the power of the people's war: they were unable to resist frontally with the regular troops of the Fengjun Army, and they suffered heavy losses repeatedly.
in Tonghua areaDuring the battle, the Guard Division organized a large-scale offensive and defeated the alliance of Liu Jiayi, Hu Yutang, and Li Guixin who were entrenched in this area, forcing them to flee separately. More than 1,000 people from Liu Jia's unit were wiped out on the spot, and Liu escaped with only about 40 people with him. In order to completely eliminate the remaining bandits, the Guard Division integrated several capable bandit suppression teams into battalions. They adopted a method of combining non-stop pursuit and wedge siege. They pursued and fought fiercely and moved to Baishan and Baishan in Jilin Province. In Jiangyuan, Liuhe and other places, Liu Jia's troops were wiped out. After chasing for more than 400 miles, Liu Jiayi was finally killed on the bank of Xinkai River in late October.
The same is true for annihilating Hu Yutang's tribe. Hu Yutang is the descendant of the bandit king Lu Yonggui, and is also Lu Yonggui's right-hand man on the border between Feng and Kyrgyzstan. After the defeat in Tonghua, a bandit suppression detachment implemented a long siege on the Fang bandits who had fled into the mountains. They set up open posts and hidden sentries. At the same time, they organized troops to go into the mountains for repeated searches and suppressions, leaving Fang Yutang without food and shelter. He was exhausted and was finally wiped out. .
Several large groups of well-known bandits were wiped out one after another, which gave a bright spot to the stagnant anti-bandit work in various places and also brought experience to other regions.
Since the new policy of suppressing bandits was formulated, the struggles of various units have achieved great results. After effectively controlling the major cities in the two provinces, the large number of bandits roaming around can no longer be concentrated on a large scale. First, the scale is large and the targets are large, and they are easily dealt with by the more powerful anti-bandit forces; After the large-scale gathering of personnel, the pain of not having fixed logistics supplies began to appear.
As a last resort, the bandits broke into pieces and hid in various places. Over the years, they have relied on this method to get through countless difficult moments, and as soon as the spring breeze comes, they are reborn.
At this time, the power of local governments under the control of the People's Party began to show. The continuous protection law and registration law are enough to deter any family with bandits in the family or relatives and friends who seek refuge with bandits, leaving "distressed" bandits with no place to hide. For a small number of bandits, under the joint defense of the villages and clearing the country, they can't even find anything to eat. Unless they return to the bandit's nest that has been wiped out to pieces, the only way out is to surrender. So much so that Lu Yonggui, who knew this method, lamented: "This is more powerful than a hundred thousand troops!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 335 Food shortage

For Gao Shibi and Lu Yonggui, who were hiding deep in the mountains, the most painful moment had come.
Because Gao Shibi was suddenly defeated and became a bandit, he was not prepared at all. However, he suffered several defeats one after another. Several of his close followers died, some were captured, and some escaped. Of the hundreds of guards, only a dozen or so half-injured ones were left to follow. If it weren't for the old Lu Yonggui who took him under his wing and had no experience in banditry, he would have been discovered and dealt with by the anti-bandit army long ago.
Thinking that he was originally a prince, but now he is reduced to a bandit leader who depends on others, I can't help but regret it.
Lu Yonggui, who is accustomed to a life of falling grass, is suffering from the fact that there is not much food stored, and the ammunition is one round short. As for medicines, it goes without saying. When bandits get sick, they can only resign themselves to fate. If they can't survive, they can only count on their luck.
"After being a bandit for so long, it is necessary to dig deep holes and build wide walls in the lair. How could there be insufficient food?" The reason is that after this round of siege and suppression by the bandit-suppressing army, most of them were defeated. Some of the desperate bandits defected to the Hu Da Gang "because of their reputation"; others simply felt that they were unable to defeat the large number of people. The anti-bandit army teamed up with Lu Yonggui with the idea of ????making a tree a good place to enjoy the shade.
In this way, there are several times more people who come. In the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, Lu Yonggui cannot drive them away, otherwise, who will follow him in the future? However, in terms of food, the areas already under the control of the bandit suppression army have blocked the overt and covert routes that originally transported food to the bandits. Countless gold and silver jewelry were stolen, but they couldn’t be used as food! I had known I would have stored more, but I had been thinking about grabbing some from people everywhere after the autumn harvest. People depend on food, so bandits are human beings too!
At this time, Lu Yonggui was staying in the Changbai Mountains on the border between China and North Korea and on the banks of the Yalu River. His hometown was still a hundred miles away from Linjiang County. Transportation here is inconvenient, the population has mixed languages, and the safety factor is relatively high, but it is not a food-producing area. In the past, small batches of daily grain came from robberies in the surrounding areas, while large-scale grain sales were secretly provided by a newly arrived wealthy businessman named Huang from Linjiang County. Of course, being a bandit comrade is not a good reputation, but the wealthy family named Huang became one of the richest families in Linjiang County in less than two years by relying on his transactions.
After the victory in the Tonghua battle, the guard divisions led by Zhang Hanqing successively controlled Baishan, Jiangyuan, and Fusong counties, trapping Lu Yonggui firmly in the wedge-shaped mountain land embedded in this land with a radius of 100 miles. It is not cost-effective to go into the mountains to suppress bandits at present: there are many bandits and the location is convenient. More importantly, the mountain roads are very unsuitable for the use of artillery. Without artillery as an offensive force, the cost of forcibly attacking the mountain is known. The Guard Division was Zhang Hanqing's foundation, and he was reluctant to sacrifice these talents who had worked so hard to cultivate in vain.
Without beatings, just trapping, nearly five thousand bandits will starve to death unless they cross the Yalu River to Japanese-controlled Korea. It is true that the Japanese once funded Lu Yonggui and others, but that was to harm China. When these desperadoes enter Japan-occupied Korea, it will be possible again.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing issued an order, "Anyone who colludes with internal and external parties and colludes with bandits, especially food, medicine, and ammunition, will be shot directly once discovered!" The reason why he is so murderous is because the success of suppressing bandits is at your fingertips. Lu Yonggui and his group basically no longer have large beards in Jilin. They cannot fall short at such a critical moment.
Under heavy pressure, although the Huang family had accumulated a lot of food before, they no longer dared to risk beheading by trading with the bandits' nest. Money is a good thing, but it must be spent with life!
Zhang Hanqing set up checkpoints on several of the only roads to enter the bandit area, prohibiting the entry of any military supplies. A regiment of troops was stationed not far away, with several cannons. Although the Hu bandits had many soldiers, it was impossible to break through this layer of defense without suffering huge casualties. After all, it was the difference between the regular army and the motley army. This was confirmed by Lu Yonggui through several unsuccessful battles. Moreover, there are many cavalry posts between the garrison and the county town, which can pass the news as quickly as possible. The reinforcements can definitely move faster than the bandit army, although the bandit army is good at horsemanship.
With his hands free, Zhang Hanqing, in the name of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Bandit Suppression and Supreme Commander of Jilin Bandit Suppression, tightened the control over the food of the Beards at the county and township governments under the control of each province: In the mountains and forests, we don't care about it, but we have increased publicity in administrative areas, implemented a joint guarantee system, and strengthened food control in beard-prone areas - often as soon as the food is harvested, the government | The government compulsorily collected most of the grain in addition to ensuring food for the local population.
Although the government is trading on a fair basis and exchanging money for food, the blow to the bearded people is severe - it is difficult to survive when the number of people is small, and when the number of people is large, the amount of food snatched cannot meet the needs.??The goal is also big. Even if a large amount of money is robbed, exchanging food is still difficult: I heard that the food purchased by the government is now shipped to several big cities such as Harbin and Fengtian to be exchanged for foreign exchange. The control of food is very strict.
Orders were issued one after another from the remote Linjiang County to various places across the province. The momentum of one ebb and flow made it impossible for the remaining bandits to gain a foothold. Zhang Hanqing demanded that after the large number of bandits were eliminated, the military power should be decisively focused on settling the local situation. Each region should form a large militia team based on this, and be subordinate to the local People's Armed Forces Department; the police station should set up dispatching agencies in each township, that is, Police station. In order to supplement the shortcomings of these two forces focusing on people's livelihood, the idea of ????setting up paramilitary forces - armed police forces - in each county and important rural strongholds has also been brought to mind. In this way, the main combat troops can be freed up and will not be reduced to local security forces. In the future, these paramilitary forces can also be used to form the first barrier and serve as a buffer against the territory occupied by Japan in Northeast China.
Zhang Hanqing, who is far away from the world and still worried about everything, will naturally not let go of the largest group of bandits under his nose. He anxiously reviewed the bits and pieces of information and then thought about his next move.
The effect of the siege is obvious: according to the information from the "Fengqi Bureau" intelligence personnel who have penetrated into the bandit army, the Hu bandits who are short of food have begun to kill horses to relieve hunger. Horses are the second life of bearded people, especially on the shores of white mountains and black waters. Without horses, it is almost impossible to move on two legs. To this point, it shows that the living conditions of the bandits have reached a critical point.
There are many stories in history about carelessness and loss of Jingzhou, and Zhang Hanqing cannot guarantee that the Hu bandits who have been entrenched here for many years do not have a few capable helpers. At this critical moment, there is no guarantee that someone will jump over the wall and do something to benefit the enemy for the sake of profit and righteousness. Besides, there may be several roads leading to the mountains. If someone does something by sneaking across Chencang, then he is nothing but a dog. Biting pig urine bubbles is nothing but joy.
He squeezed in some troops from various places that had been stabilized, and sent more than a dozen cavalry squads to patrol everywhere, just for peace of mind, but he didn't expect to find out anything. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Zhang Hanqing’s heart was focused on Huang Wanqing, and he just nodded mechanically to Yan Wenhai’s words, not seeing the smile in Lao Yan’s eyes at all. However, Yan Wenhai still kept a cautious eye. The Marshal's guards only brought a few people, including a platoon of the gendarmerie assigned by him, which was not a large number. He placed Captain Wu and another platoon in a hotel not far away for emergencies.
The bandits have not yet been wiped out. Linjiang County is originally a hideout for bandits. There is no guarantee that no one will use some dirty means to cause trouble, so it is better to be cautious.
The cold autumn wind lifted Huang Wanqing's skirt and legs, making her even more graceful. I like it, Zhang Hanqing thought. There are some things that are difficult to say in front of the soldiers in the courtyard: "Ms. Huang, it's cold at night. Come inside and I have something to tell you."
"After leaving Xinmin, I still met him in a small place like Linjiang. Is there really God's will in the dark? Or is he the nemesis in my life?" Huang Wanqing bit her lip tightly, thinking of accepting her fate.
Zhang Hanqing was the first man she opened her heart to, although there was an element of transaction in the scene. This young, stable and powerful young man has become more mature after two years of not seeing each other. Although he is still young, he has the experience of seeing the world and the confidence that the world is in my hands, which makes her hide the nameless emotions in her heart for a long time.

Is it really okay for a man and a woman to go indoors alone? She glanced inside the house, where the lights poured out like snow, shining on the quiet courtyard and spreading in all directions far away. For some reason, she suddenly felt ashamed.
But the top priority was to ensure that her father was safe and sound, so she obediently led Zhang Hanqing into the living room. Originally, when the master of the house was arrested, some servants who were still asleep saw it, and some people who were sleeping were awakened by this. However, after being stopped by the guards, he quickly shut up and just bit his tongue secretly, speculating on the great changes in the Huang family.
It was quiet all around, except for the candles in the living room that were burning brightly. The place where Mr. Huang settled was so remote that there was no electricity. This was an ordinary Chinese rural area in the north in the 20th century.
"Guang Mu didn't come with him because he went to the toilet, otherwise he would have arranged to light two less candles. These guards are too ignorant. Why do you need to be so bright when chatting with girls? Only candlelight night conversations are emotional." Zhang Hanqing thought this way.
At this time, he had completely forgiven Huang Fengting for being a gangster. If you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, what does this little thing mean to Miss Huang? When life becomes difficult, it is inevitable that sometimes we have to take desperate risks. Besides, Huang Fengting still has a conscience and did not leave his wife and daughter to escape alone. For this alone, he can be considered a man, right?
He deliberately ignored the tall buildings and the magnificent layout of the living room. This did not look like a poor family forced by life! However, the lessons that should be taught to the Huang family must not be forgotten at all. I went against him twice and it didn’t teach me anything!
He kept his face and quietly looked at Huang Wanqing's lips that were biting because of worry. How does that cherry bite taste like when you hold it in your mouth? If I want to kiss, I must put it all in my mouth, then break through her teeth, stir her tongue, and suck her saliva
When she was thinking about lust, Huang Wanqing had already raised her hazy eyes. Seeing the tears on her eyelashes, Zhang Hanqing felt a different kind of emotion in his heart. "Young Marshal, can you let my father go?"
A similar scene appeared before his eyes again, and the pleasure of life and death came over him. He straightened his face and asked coldly: "Do you know what kind of serious crime your father committed? Do you know how much trouble he will bring to our anti-bandit work by funding Huzi? I have mobilized most of the troops in the Northeast, that is, In order to eliminate this bandit army as soon as possible, stabilize the Northeast as soon as possible, and let the people live a good life as soon as possible" You might as well say more big words when asking for life for the people, and it will also make you look taller, right?
"I know," Huang Wanqing interrupted him gently. The second half of Zhang Hanqing's words stopped abruptly. Maybe he didn't intend to say anything at all?
"He is unforgivable, he deserves death, but he is my father! I beg you, can you let him go?"
Zhang Hanqing gasped slightly: "Why?!" Yes, why! I’m not familiar with you! You and I have almost had a relationship, but it was you who took the initiative, and I didn't challenge it. But I was also an asshole at the time, so why were I pretending to be so cool? If Huang Fengting had been my father-in-law at that time, how could I have done anything to sympathize with my enemies! I am his son-in-law!
"Because he is my father" Huang Wanqing came back to the topic again, but the meaning was different.
Zhang Hanqing understood the meaning of her words, maybe he didn't understand, he was just pretending to understand. "I let your father go that time, just because of you. But he continued to fight against the government, and this time he actually??Zi Liang and bandits, their crimes should be punished by tens of thousands of people"
Huang Wanqing looked up at him, and the tear stains made her so touching that Zhang Hanqing could no longer be fierce. It is difficult for a hero to pass the beauty test, so why should a hero pass the beauty test?
"I actually don't agree with what my father did, but he is always my father! Please forgive him once more. I promise that he will never cause trouble to you again" Huang Wanqing said with tears in her eyes, Especially when I saw Zhang Hanqing's fierce look on his face.
"I already let him go last time! What else can you do to make me believe it?" Zhang Hanqing adjusted and asked calmly.
Huang Wanqing blushed, but said firmly: "From that time on, I have decided that I owe you a huge favor. It doesn't matter whether you want to repay it or not. Anyway, anyway" She couldn't say any more, but, What she means is something that all men should understand. Anyway, Zhang Hanqing understood.
Zhang Hanqing is very happy, this is the Republic of China, and there is still a woman with such a temperament! If you don't give up, I will follow your plan. But we also need to let her understand that it doesn’t matter what she does, she can use this little daughter’s method to get rid of me. He held on and said: "You are you, and your father is your father. We can't mix them together. His matter is a serious crime. The military order is like a mountain. I can't go back on my words. Fortunately, it was a government order that time. I have tried my best. , you know, this time it’s a military order.”
Why can government orders be violated but military orders cannot? Even Zhang Hanqing himself felt that his words were incoherent.
But Huang Wanqing, who was so excited, didn't even notice the lingo in Zhang Hanqing's words. The tears she had tried to hold back finally shed uncontrollably, and she was out of control: "If something happens to my dad, how can I face you again?" ?" She lowered her head, covering her face and crying. His shoulders shrugged, which made him feel very sad.
Zhang Hanqing softened his heart. For some reason, after seeing Huang Wanqing, all his hatred disappeared. Huang Xianting took the lead in opposing land reform and providing funds to the bandits. The three brothers of the Huang family were all opposed to the Feng government represented by Zhang Zuolin. Each of them had reasons to die, but Zhang Hanqing had no murderous intentions at all now.
On the contrary, he was still liberating him in his heart: "After being deprived of status, wealth and official position, it is normal for others to have some opinions, right? For this little girl, her father is not guilty enough to die, right?"
At this time, his hands had already climbed up to her shoulders, and he boldly reached out to wipe away her tears. Huang Wanqing did not refuse and let his hands slide across her face. Within reach, it can be broken by blowing a bullet.
"My father didn't mean to go against you, but you ransacked our house, killed my second uncle's son-in-law, and took down my uncle's official position We couldn't stay in Fengtian, so we ran here, but you still found us. …You are my nemesis!” she said.
"Really?" Somehow, Zhang Hanqing felt a very warm feeling at the moment. In fact, this feeling had been very strong since the first time he saw her, so he let go for the first time. She is like the innocent little sister next door, and he longs to take care of her rather than play with her. This is a kind of love for beauty from the heart. In short, Zhang Hanqing is addicted.
"Why are you crying? I didn't say I couldn't find a way." He said softly.
Huang Wanqing suddenly raised her tearful eyes: "Are you telling the truth?" Her ears are really sharp.
Zhang Hanqing smiled: "You think I'm teasing you! How could I be willing to make you sad?"
Huang Wanqing shed more tears, which made Zhang Hanqing panic. What kind of fun was this? He diligently wiped her tears: "Didn't I tell you that I'm teasing you? Don't worry, I'll let him out tomorrow." They say women are made of water, why do she have so many tears? The tears are not always big, which makes people feel distressed.
Huang Wanqing felt bitter for a while: "Is this a joke? He is my father!" She lowered her head: "You are the same as him in my heart. If you are not good for my father, how can I face it calmly? you!"
"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you." With that said, Zhang Hanqing lifted her head and wiped away her tears with his palms. Huang Wanqing did not refuse and allowed him to make such intimate gestures. "Am I going to atone for my father's sins?" she thought.
This is a signal. Zhang Hanqing is not the first brother, and the feeling of falling in love is coming again. "Does she want to atone for her sins?" He was also thinking.
Although his marriage to Yu Fengzhi is now very harmonious, it is only responsible for the covenant couple and the matchmaker's words. He has always felt that something is missing. Of course, she still fulfilled her husband's duties with all her heart. Since Yu Fengzhi gave birth to her eldest daughter last year, her second child will soon be born. I was originally worried that I would have problems with my body's functions after time travel, but now it seems like it's absolutely great!
The moment he met Huang Wanqing's eyes, it was as if he had found the feeling of falling in love. He didn't need to force or cheat, he cared for her wholeheartedly and felt deeply for her. He wanted to touch her with his true feelings, not purely selfish pleasure. Now it seems that Huang Wanqing silently accepted his good "moral character". Lang has a crush on his concubine, and there are some things that need not be said, but the veteran driver can feel it.

Chapter 339 I’m conquered by you like this

It’s time to release the months of abstinence and pressure. We can no longer let her go. Who knows where she will be after today? If God doesn't take what he wants, he will regret it. Besides, Zhang Hanqing is not a moralist. The worst thing to do is marry someone back home. It’s not like the Republic of China didn’t allow it. The custom is very good!
His hand slid down and landed on her neck. Huang Wanqing did not respond. Falling on her shoulders, Huang Wanqing blushed again. She is very thin-skinned! However, she did not refuse the temptations bit by bit, and just twisted her arms subconsciously.
When Huang Wanqing hugged her back, she finally reacted. She subconsciously turned around and tried to avoid him. Zhang Hanqing is a veteran, and he has a good grasp of the heat. With just a little effort, Huang Wanqing fell into his arms.
He put his hand on her waist and stroked her neck with the other hand, hugging her.
When Huang Wanqing was hugged by the youthful Zhang Hanqing, she panicked and wanted to run away. However, Zhang Hanqing was very strong, so she could only struggle but could not escape.
Zhang Hanqing lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of her hair, smelling the fragrance of virginity coming from her body, and felt uneasy for a while. Should we continue the attack or continue the attack? He did what he had to do completely subconsciously. A little forcefully, he stretched his head towards Huang Wanqing's face. He ignored her hurried movements and put his head on her forehead. Jier kissed her on the mouth.
"Don't mess around" Huang Wanqing was completely confused. This was the first time in eighteen years that she had been so close to the opposite sex. Not to mention this kind of physical contact, even the opportunity to stay alone in a room was Never, except that time. This was my first kiss. I had no idea what it felt like. I only knew that a heavy breathing sound lingered in my ears, and then the numb, itchy, and hot lips were pressed against my mouth.
"I didn't mess around" Zhang Hanqing hugged her waist, buried his head in her neck and couldn't stop exploring. Seeing her clenching her teeth and looking like she was facing an enemy, I felt cute for no reason. Why doesn't the cat eat the mouse when it catches it? Because it’s fun! Why didn't he take her down in a hurry? Also because it's fun.
If you like her, you can't let her shadow you. I let her go in the first place just to make her appreciate his kindness. Now, he also doesn't use force, just to make her give it to him willingly.
But kissing is not an example of this. On the contrary, the more helpless she became, the more persistent he became.
It was so disgusting that his saliva was on his lips; so sad that he opened her mouth with his tongue regardless and looked around for her tongue. She had no intention of resisting, but Huang Wanqing gradually lost herself in the numbness.
"Um" This was Huang Wanqing's last struggle before she regained consciousness, and then she fell into boundless darkness, because her face stuck together like double-sided tape made her unable to see anything, and her eyes had long been closed.
Isn’t there a saying about the four major fragrances: “The first crop of alfalfa, the second crop of vinegar, the tongue of a big girl, and the waxy meat”. Yu Fengzhi is his wife, so the feeling is completely different. Besides, they are an old couple, how can they play this kind of game of refusing to welcome? Only untouched girls fascinate men. Not just physical desire, but also the psychological effect of conquest.
The two of them had been rubbing each other's ears for a long time. When they took a breath, Huang Wanqing was able to adapt to Zhang Hanqing's French wet kiss.
"Where is your bedroom?" Zhang Hanqing left her lips and asked softly.
Huang Wanqing blushed and pointed subconsciously. Then she suddenly woke up and struggled to get off the ground: "What are you going to do?" She was immediately suppressed by a burst of passionate kiss.
Zhang Hanqing picked up Huang Wanqing——her body is so light!
Walking through the bedroom and entering her boudoir. Soon, the faint scent of a girl filled his nostrils again. He closed the door, put his arms around the helpless Huang Wanqing, and put her on the bed.
The room was very dark, but fortunately there was a ray of moonlight projected under the window, and the faces nearby could be vaguely seen. Looking down at Huang Wanqing, she also looked at him with wide eyes. Their eyes met, and time seemed to have stopped.
"You are so beautiful, I want you to be my woman!" Zhang Hanqing suddenly showed a very tough side.
"I promise you." What greeted him was her answer. Although her voice was as weak as a leech, it was as firm as iron.
The name of the young marshal has resounded throughout the Northeast, and even his legend is spread in Beijing and Tianjin. The young leader of the three eastern provinces and the leader of the People's Party, he has a large number of soldiers, is resourceful, has great literary talent, and is suave. He is the dream lover of countless girls, and many dignitaries want to marry him. Although Huang Wanqing has retreated to the countryside, we can still hear about his great achievements.
Not because of dad, he alsoHe is his perfect match. After saving her father that time, the shadow of the young marshal had been appearing in front of her eyes from time to time.
The man is affectionate and the concubine is interested, so many things happen naturally. But at the last moment, she suddenly changed her mind.
"Will you marry me?"
At this time, Zhang Hanqing was ready to sprint, and Huang Wanqing had no power to challenge him at this moment, because the two of them had been honest with each other. If Zhang Hanqing wasn't Zhang Hanqing, he wouldn't have time to talk nonsense with her, he would just do it. At this moment, he was condescending and powerful; her vital points were lost and she was already a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
But he is Zhang Hanqing.
Forcibly resisting the urge to enter, he accepted the test like this: "Marry! I will marry you in an eight-carat sedan chair!"
This sentence has the element of bragging, because Zhang Hanqing, who already has a wife, cannot use the so-called "eight sedan chairs" to marry a concubine according to the "rules" - no matter how equally he treats the inner court, Huang Wanqing's status as a concubine is I can't run away, this is Tsunadune. When he wanted to exceed the rules, Zhang Zuolin was the first to disagree. Although Lao Zhang has several concubines, except for Zhang Xueliang's biological mother, no one else enjoys this treatment.
But at this moment, I have to agree to a huge request. This kind of occasion is not suitable for bargaining!
"You're lying!" Huang Wanqing said. Her legs, which were almost stiff when they were twisted together, naturally parted and seemed to be alive all of a sudden. Women are all duplicitous animals. Even though they know that what he tells is a lie, they still regard it as a promise to her.
The arrow is on the string, and there is no time to talk nonsense. We should wait until the passion is released before whispering. Anyway, after that, Zhang Hanqing expressed his love for Huang Wanqing through actions.
She shuddered in response to Zhang Hanqing's operation. Even though everything came naturally, she still had to squeeze into the warm stamen at the beginning. After the moment of fusion, Huang Wanqing frowned and completed the transformation from girl to woman.
"You must do what you promised." She murmured. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 340 Intimate Contact

Zhang Hanqing is a veteran of flowers, so he naturally knows the principle of walking slowly. But when facing Huang Wanqing, he still indulged a little.
The real "no meat taste in March", Zhang Hanqing worked very hard, but of course it didn't last long, and the essence was lost.
I originally wanted to score twice, but I felt the stiffness and throbbing of her body, so I stopped the car. Considering that she had tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, she should not be left with any psychological shadow. After all, there was still a long time to come. Besides, he is no longer the young boy he used to be. He is still able to do some things freely, so he no longer presses too hard. Anyway, he succeeds with one blow and has the upper hand.
When she leaned over to look at Huang Wanqing, there was a huge teardrop in her eyelashes that had not yet come out. Immediately, my heart grew full of pity, and I kissed the slightly salty pearl gently, and came to her side and said, "Be obedient, women will do this for the first time. I will love you as much as it hurts you."
Sweet words are the best medicine. Zhang Hanqing is already a veteran, both physically and in terms of lying. Huang Wanqing was controlled by him from top to bottom, and she had psychologically accepted her fate. Seeing his gentleness and thoughtfulness, her heart gradually melted.
"You loved me, why didn't you look for me again later? You are the young commander of Fengtian. If you want to look for me, you should be able to find me no matter what." The bodies were still intertwined, and she could feel the changes in Zhang Hanqing.
“Uh, don’t tell me, Zhang Hanqing only found out about Huang Wanqing’s family leaving Fengtian after the fact. At that time, Zhang Zuolin was only the military governor of Fengtian, and he was restrained by Feng Delin. His energy was mainly on capturing the Guard Brigade and participating in the planning of the current situation, but he really neglected to trace Huang Wanqing's movements. Later, when he was patronizing Zonghengmenque, the man had ambitions in all directions, how could he be fettered by a woman?
Of course, at this moment, it is not appropriate to say this randomly.
"I later went to Sandaogangzi to look for you in person, but your door was closed!" Zhang Hanqing slowly recalled the past. It was quiet outside the window, except for the warmth in the house.
"Later, your sister Huang Ruqing committed a crime at home. As soon as I saw her, I thought of her as you, so I let your second uncle go. So, how should you thank me for this matter?"
He did not mention that he did regard Huang Ruqing as Huang Wanqing, but only as a one-night wife.
"Then I kept busy until I came to Jilin to suppress the bandits. When I learned that a businessman named Huang was supplying food to the bandits, my first reaction was you!"
"Sure enough, a thousand-mile marriage is linked by a thin thread. Isn't this how I found you?"
Lying on the delicate and extremely elastic skin, Zhang Hanqing smiled proudly.
He talked about the first time he saw her dressed in white fur, mentioned that he couldn't sleep at night with endless thoughts, and had personally gone to three posts to look for her sadness. Of course, he also made up some of his thoughts. . But people's words are free of charge, but women fall into this trap. After all, Huang Wanqing became even more concerned about Zhang Hanqing's feelings for him. Listening to his rambling words of love slowly infected her. Being naked and being carried under him, a burst of tenderness slowly surged from the bottom of my heart.
"You bad guy, where are you touching?" In the darkness, Huang Wanqing suddenly screamed.
"Every part of your body has not been touched except here, can't I touch it?" Zhang Hanqing said arrogantly.
"no!"
She said no, but she couldn't stop his movements.
????????????????????????????????????????????? Huang Wanqing was so excited that she didn’t say a word the whole time, either out of shyness or silent resistance, and Zhang Hanqing didn’t have time to take care of her. Now that the clouds have stopped and the rain has stopped, we naturally have to discuss it.
"Don't move around. I have something to tell you." He was definitely not immune, so Huang Wanqing simply let him. The most precious thing has been given to him, and she has no pressure to contribute to some peripheral things.
"You tell me, I'm listening." Zhang Hanqing lifted her nose with one hand and moved the other hand casually, teasing her without saying a word.
"Bad guy!" Huang Wanqing felt itchy all over, but her heart was calm. This will be the best man for her life. She hugged Zhang Hanqing's back, bit her lip, and asked softly: "How is the young mistress, will you tolerate me?" Since she is Zhang Hanqing's person, she naturally wants to know something about the Zhang family, especially about the future. boss".
As a man, it is natural to act like the head of the family. Zhang Hanqing said confidently: "Don't worry, I will definitely use an eight-carriage sedan to marry you into the house in a grand way. Don't worry too much about these things. Now, you just need to serve me well!"
He had only heard of the eight-carrying sedan chair in later generations, but the real meaning was unclear. As for finding another wife, there is no pressure at all. Didn't his father say before he got married that he could remarry?But let his son-in-law starve, what kind of world is this? "Zhang Hanqing said restlessly.
"Are you hungry? I'll cook for you." It seemed that it was really hard to suppress the bandits. They didn't eat for most of the night. Huang Wanqing felt so pity that she got up to cook for him.
"I want to eat you!"
"ah?"
With this sound, there was the figure of young Zhang Hanqing showing off his prowess, and Huang Wanqing sensitively felt the changes in his body. However, how could she refuse his entry again when she already had a sense of belonging psychologically? Not only did he not do it, but he cooperated in every possible way, allowing Zhang Hanqing to fall deeply into the land of tenderness and enjoy himself once again.

Chapter 341 Beheading
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Huang Fengting really played the fool for three days.
The planned food supplies were not available, and the bearded men, who had been reduced to eating chaff and vegetables, began to feel uneasy. Some people say that the beards who were captured from various places were gathered together to do labor camps. Not many people know what "re-education through labor" is, but it is said that they eat well, sleep soundly, and the government gives them a chance to start a new life. Eating is a very enviable word.
Lu Yonggui was completely in dire straits. The informant reported that Huang Fengting's grain team was captured last night. Huang Fengting seems to be in trouble, but forget it, but he has basically monopolized the purchase of grain and bulk transactions in the past two years. Without him, it would be difficult for others to obtain enough grain to feed six thousand people. Without food and instability, two sets of beards were discovered sneaking down the mountain. Although the situation was dealt with in a timely manner and the leaders all lit up the sky lanterns, if this continues, there will definitely be chaos below and suppression by force alone will not suffice.
His Four King Kongs can still effectively unite the leaders of various mountains to control the situation, but it will be difficult to tell after a while. He regretted that he should not have done everything possible and made the whole world aware of the banditry in Northeast China. Otherwise, it would be nice to just be his copycat king. Why bring in Zhang Hanqing, the god of plague?
Zhang Hanqing experienced Huang Fengting's gangster incident and thought that in a critical moment, the beards would buy food everywhere at all costs. The Yalu River is not wide, and it is not under one's control. It is said that people with good water skills can swim back and forth from the other side of the river to this side. Without Huang Fengting, there is no guarantee that there would be no Zhang Fengting and Li Fengting. Only by eliminating this bandit can the problem be fundamentally solved.
The morale of the insiders to give back to Hu Hu's army has been unstable, but because of Lu Yonggui's prestige, it will not lead to chaos. If he is taken down, as the saying goes, a snake cannot survive without a head or a backbone, the more than 6,000 bandit troops on the mountain can be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Zhang Hanqing thought of the "decapitation battle" in modern warfare.
Its patent rights should belong to Russia, and the most powerful one is the polar bear. During the Second Chechen War in 1996, Russia used this tactic to successfully kill the rebel leader Dudayev, quickly won the war, and quelled years of Chechen rebellion. Later, the United States and Europe basically used the same tactics against Gaddafi in Libya, but it was suspected of bullying.
The Changbai Mountain area is very large. Considering the existence of 6,000 bandits, it would be too difficult to find Lu Yonggui who is familiar with the environment and annihilate them. However, if he is starved for a few more days and his military morale is lost, he should have a chance to send a few capable teams to attack Lu Yonggui directly. At this time, Fengjun's intelligence officers had been ordered to spread "news" to the mountains. The bandit suppression army only killed Lu Yonggui and Gao Shibi, but accepted the surrender of other beards.
It was the two of them who put Zhang Hanqing under great pressure from the "Far East Intervention Force" of Japan, the United States and other countries; it was the two of them who, as the "shit stirrups" of the Japanese in the Northeast, caused the Feng army to waste money and people, and wasted precious time for repairs. It also made Zhang Hanqing's idea of ??taking advantage of the Soviet Union's "difficulty" to do more benefits had to be postponed. Lu Yonggui was the bandit king who had done many bad things in the Northeast and deserved his death; Gao Shibi was the scum of the Chinese military and had to die.
Zhang Zongchang is here again. He recruited three regiments of bandits in the early stage and organized them into the "Northeast Mixed Brigade", known as the "Northeast Volunteer Army". This army is not that army, and should not be confused with the famous anti-Japanese army in history. At that time, the bandits used the word "righteousness" as their bond and the word "brave" as their identity. Just like the so-called "Loyalty and Righteous National Salvation Army" later turned out to be traitors to the national army, having a nice name was nothing.
He had nothing to do after the reorganization was completed - the Northeast Army was strictly prohibited from interfering in local administration. Zhang Hanqing made it clear to him at the beginning of the reorganization, and Zhang Zongchang also understood the benefits and disadvantages, and basically did nothing to disturb the people. But an army must have something to do, not to mention these are restless masters.
The young marshal has made no progress in southern Jilin, which makes Zhang Zongchang feel that he has an opportunity to serve. He contacted Zhang Hanqing and expressed his willingness to use "just" bandit armies to fight against "unjust" bandit armies. He had two reasons: geographically, he was familiar with people, and he was familiar with people.
The bandits he led were all born and raised, so it is understandable that they are familiar with the geography. As for the heads of people, three of Lu Yonggui's four great kings are his fellow villagers, and the other is his shedmate who worked as a coolie when he entered the Far East. Not to mention other big and small bosses, they are basically either from Ye County or Huang County. With the relationship between fellow villagers and colleagues, the bandit army can be dismantled in the near future.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Zhang Hanqing asked Zhang Zongchang to take the lead. This was how he won the first battle against bandits. Not to mention, Zhang Zongchang, who had the mentality of dying as a Taoist friend but not as a poor Taoist, had made great achievements again, which made Zhang Hanqing look at him with admiration and marveled.
I heard that Zhang Changjiu, who was very loyal back then, personally led the team, and Zhang Changjiu also changed his identity and became "Dongguan".The brigade commander of the "Hongcheng Brigade", his "friend" who worked with him when he was building the North-Manchuria Railway, was excited. They had all stirred and ate in the same pot, and they knew the basics. Zhang Zongchang said that surrendering without killing was better than that What the young marshal said was much more credible. So a bunch of people were waiting for betrayal. As soon as they found out that it was Zhang Zongchang's team, they surrendered without saying a word, even with their guns.
The arrival of Zhang Zongchang, who was more prestigious than him, made Lu Yonggui feel that the situation was not good. How could these leaders who defected to Zhang Zongchang not reveal their secrets in order to hug his thick legs? He discussed with Mr. Gao and decided to escape as soon as possible while some people were still coming and rebelling. They fled far away and circled with the bandit suppressing army in the deep mountains.
"However, there are ways to use barbarians to defeat barbarians, and no matter how good the tactics are, they won't work. In order to end the battle to suppress the bandits as early as possible, Zhang Hanqing raised Gao Shibi's silver reward to 300,000 taels and Lu Yonggui's silver reward to 400,000 taels, so that the bandits who had surrendered to Zhang Zongchang would forget that they had once been regarded as blood-thirsty animals. The chicken, the symbol of the alliance, is vying to be the leading party.
The bandits seemed to leave no traces when walking, but through the guidance of their "comrades", the anti-bandit army learned that by observing the traces of trampled leaves in the forest in late autumn, they could determine where the bandits were going: fallen leaves were trampled or crushed. If it rubs and there is a relatively wide area, it proves that someone has walked through it. On the contrary, if the trace groove is narrow and deep, and the road surface is uneven, it proves that it was trampled by wild animals. The bandit leader Wang Erguan, who introduced it enthusiastically, attributed it to "the method of tracking in the forest at the end of autumn."
"There is another method called the 'spring and autumn meadow tracing method'. Generally speaking, when people and horses pass by on the meadow, they must leave traces due to their walking and trampling. Moreover, the grass is often tilted in the direction where it falls. , which is the direction in which the bandits are escaping. If there is some grass standing up in the road they are walking on, it means that the people and horses have passed by for a long time; if there is no grass standing up, it means that the bandits have just passed by." Wang Erguan, who had just finished talking, had already passed by. My comrade from two days ago referred to him as a "gangster" without blushing at all.
Zhang Hanqing praised it and said: "It's a very good summary. You put your heart into it."
Wang Erguan became even more excited as if he had eaten ginseng fruit after being praised by the young marshal himself. He said: "If a large group of bandits is broken up, they often break into pieces and flee in different directions to confuse us. At this time, if we stop chasing, we will play into the bandit's plan. Therefore, when encountering such a situation, we should approach When the largest group of fugitives pursues them, and after annihilating them, they can often find out their contact marks and gathering points, and then annihilate them one by one. This is called 'breaking the mystery'."
With the leading party, the bandit-suppressing army is like a skilled hunter who uses clues to find the direction of wild animals, making the remaining bandits restless day and night. Often one moment it seems that the retreat is well disguised, and in the blink of an eye the bandit-suppressing troops are coming.
While Zhang Hanqing was cleaning up a large number of beards who had been tricked into surrendering by Zhang Zongchang's sweet talk, he also sent out several capable pursuit and suppression teams, all led by the newly surrendered leaders who were eager to make meritorious service, and kept dealing with Lu bandits and Gao bandits deep in the mountains. In order to show off in front of Zhang Hanqing and to eliminate future troubles, Zhang Zongchang personally led his troops to search for him. Ordinary gangsters can no longer be caught and tied up, so catching the two gang leaders is an extremely important task. The whereabouts of the two bandits were constantly obtained from the captured bandits, and the distance between the pursuers and the deserters became closer and closer.
On a high hill, Gao Shibi huddled tiredly in a crack in the rocks that could still shelter the wind. His eyes were dull and his whole body was weak. After ten consecutive days of running away, I could never get a bite of hot food, so I could only find some wild fruits to satisfy my hunger. Not to mention my body was covered with small cuts from rocks and grass, and my feet were worn out. The key was that it rained for several days in a row and my clothes were soaked. As a result, I had a high fever the day before yesterday, and I have been feeling dizzy for days. Living in poverty made him miserable, and he really wanted to get rid of it once and for all.
He feebly said to Lu Yonggui, who had been accompanying him: "Brother Lu, we really can't walk anymore. Our twenty-year friendship is over here. You are familiar with the journey, so hurry up and leave first. Even if I die, I will die." I won’t reveal your whereabouts. If you can escape by chance, burn two more handfuls of yellow paper on the anniversary of my death, brother."
Infected by him, Lu Yonggui could not help but grow in love with his children. He dragged his tired body and staggered to Gao Shibi, took a deep breath and said softly: "I don't know if I can escape this. Besides, I don't know if I can escape this." Well. But I have made enough in this life. I drink a lot of wine, eat a lot of meat, kill countless people, play with Japanese chicks, and sleep with Russian ocean horses. It’s worth it.”
He sighed and said: "But what I didn't expect is that at the end of the day, I was driven like a lost dog by a child with a yellow mouth!" He raised his eyes and looked at the sky. The sky was covered with mist, and there was no sign that it was going to rain.
??????????????????????????? The leak in the house coincides with the continuous rain, it’s time for me, Lu, to die.
One day later, the bandit suppression army caught up with Gao Shibi, who was being held in a deep coma, and killed his last two loyal guards; the next day, Lu Yonggui, the largest bandit leader in the Northeast, pulled out his gun and committed suicide in despair amid heavy siege.
The very next day, the bandit suppression army headquarters announced that Gao Shibing would be sentenced to canonical punishment and shot on the spot in Linjiang County. With the killing of the two major bandit leaders one after another, the banditry in Jilin has been brought to an end.

Among the vast areas in Heilongjiang Province, Jiamusi is the area hardest hit by banditry. The south and south sides of Jiamusi are steep mountains and primeval forests that block out the sky and the sun. The east and north of Jiamusi are large swamps and meadows. In the meadows, wormwood is taller than people and mosquitoes are rampant. For those who are not familiar with the path, once you enter, you will never want to come out again. Such a deserted place with little human presence has become an excellent habitat for the "bearded" people.
However, under the leadership of Wu Junsheng of the 29th Division, the banditry here was basically eliminated in half a year. Wu Junsheng, who was born with a beard, knew the characteristics of beards very well. He used various methods of dividing and suppressing, separating and trapping, and dividing and fighting. This was exactly the same idea as Zhang Hanqing, who had come before him. He had the greatest achievements in suppressing bandits and naturally had the most credit.
He summarized the experience of suppressing bandits in Jiamusi as an example, and extended it to the entire Fengjun Army's bandit suppression forces: such as concentrating superior forces, fatigue tactics, clearing the country with strong walls, etc., so that the bearded people have no food to eat, nowhere to hide, and nowhere to hide. Not being shocked greatly weakened their will to resist.
Of course, in order to avoid jumping over the wall, the Bandit Suppression Headquarters and Wu Junsheng both put forward a point of view, that is, except for the bandit leader who committed the most heinous crime, the remaining surrenderers or captured surrendered their guns and were not killed, giving the bandits a sense of luck. Coupled with the deterioration of living conditions and the government's conscious use of surrenderers' personal experience, the bandits' will to resist has gradually weakened. As a result, more than 3,000 of the more than 50 groups of bandits in the Bei'an area surrendered and reformed.
By the beginning of 1919, except for areas such as Bei'an and Jiamusi in Heilongjiang that were seriously affected by bandits, Wu Junsheng served as the commander-in-chief of Heilongjiang's bandit suppression and led the 29th Division and several security brigades to step up their efforts. The work was successfully concluded. A total of more than 100 bandits were dismantled in various parts of these two provinces. In addition to the suicide of Lu Yonggui, the largest bandit leader in Jilin, more than 3,000 habitual bandits under Wang Naikang, the largest bandit leader in Heilongjiang, were killed. A total of more than 50,000 bandits were eliminated in the two provinces, basically stabilizing the situation in the Northeast. .
In order to prevent the banditry that had finally settled down from resurrecting, Zhang Hanqing asked the People's Party to continue to use land reform to establish a solid rear area based on the previous mobilization of farmers, so that the environment for bandits to survive no longer exists. He requested that the political offensive be combined with military suppression, and a working team be organized to carry out a political offensive. At the same time, he would investigate the bandits' family members, relatives and friends, publicize Zhang Hanqing's land reform policy, and mobilize the bandits to repent and rehabilitate themselves. He also tried to persuade the bandits to rebel, provide intelligence to the Feng army to suppress the bandits, and make up for their mistakes.
This is how Xiangxi bandits were suppressed back then, and the nationwide bandit chaos was quickly put down under the dual pressure of the gcd's steel guns and loudspeakers. The current banditry in the Northeast is just a "spontaneous formation" of a force, and its "underlying" is also lacking. It is not as difficult to deal with as it is deeply rooted in later generations.
The achievements brought by the suppression of bandits are not only reflected in political prestige. Since gangsters have basically disappeared in the areas completely controlled by the Northeastern Autonomous Government, the security situation in various places has greatly improved, making it possible for the police and armed police to replace the military in maintaining local areas, which has provided an indication for the true separation of the military and police, and may also This turned the Fengjun army from mainly maintaining local security into a real mobile force.
Also because of the achievements in suppressing bandits and the purpose of pure Fengjun non-commissioned officers, during the work of Fengjun's expansion of troops, the patrol missions of the three eastern provinces and the Northeast Bandit Suppression Headquarters held meetings successively to summarize the results of Fengjun's establishment of the army. After lessons learned from the initial recruitment of bandit troops and impure personnel, new regulations were made.
These regulations include: in the expansion of the army, the basic mass elements shall be given priority, and farmers who have gone through mass struggles shall be recruited into the army in large numbers. Soldiers, hooligans, bandits, Taoist sects and other elements shall not be recruited into the army; the targets of the expansion shall be reviewed and political Only those who are pure and whose origins and their families are clear can be admitted and carefully registered, and no careless numbers can be made without examination; those whose origins and family circumstances are unclear will not be admitted.
With the help of land reform, the military expansion has affected every poor farmer. According to statistics, during this vigorous land reform and military expansion movement, more than 5,000 people signed up to join the army in the sparsely populated Jiamusi area alone. In the densely populated Liaozhong area, the number of soldiers joining the army reached more than 30,000. Due to the favorable policies and the vigorous propaganda of "defending the fruits of victory", the broad masses of farmers enthusiastically joined the army, which greatly supplemented the main force of the Feng army. By the end of 1919, the Fengjun Army had recruited more than 50,000 troops, giving each division the opportunity to add supplementary regiments. A number of unqualified troops were gradually eliminated, and the equipment of each unit was also improved. The expansion of troops has strengthened the mobile combat force and also brought fresh blood and sufficient manpower for future expansion.
What to do with the prisoners? Easy to handle! Zhang Hanqing still thought there were not many people.
Why are there so many beards in the Northeast? Apart from historical reasons, most of the reasons are due to poverty. Land monopoly or annexation leads to landlessnessThe scarcity of crops and industries led to lack of employment. The only option was to become bandits or starve to death. There is no one to blame for this kind of thing. If we are to blame, we must blame the evil old society.
Zhang Hanqing wants to eliminate this phenomenon. Just as the banditry was basically eliminated, the international situation was also conducive to launching a major economic construction campaign in Northeast China. He made a detailed summary of the relevant information collected along the Middle East Road after going deep into Jilin, and proposed to Zhang Zuolin the "About Implementation of Draft of the First Three-Year Plan for Northeast China. A brief introduction to the current situation of the three northeastern provinces was given, and specific measures were also made in detail.
Official history records: Fengtian Province is the earliest developed, most populous, and most economically developed province among the three eastern provinces. Three-quarters of the entire northeastern industry is concentrated in Fengtian. Fengtian is also rich in mineral deposits, such as iron mines in Anshan and coal mines in Fushun. Most of Fengjun's military forces are also deployed in Fengtian. Fengtian City (Shenyang) was the imperial capital before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and was also the political and military center of the Northeast region before the "September 18 Incident". Fengtian Arsenal was the largest arsenal in the country at the time. It could not only produce rifles, light and heavy machine guns, but also mortars, cannons, and corresponding ammunition.
Jilin Province had no industry at that time. But according to his opinion, Jilin has fertile land known as the "Songliao Plain", huge mineral resources, the Songhua River flowing through the entire territory, and endless timber, so it has huge reclamation value. As long as the immigration work continues, Jilin, located in the heart of Northeast China, will be the foundation for future domestic dominance.
Heilongjiang Province is the northernmost province among the three eastern provinces. It was vast and sparsely populated at that time, and its provincial capital was Qiqihar. Harbin, the main city, was originally just a small village on the Songhua River. In 1898, the Russians built the Middle East Railway, which quickly expanded Harbin into a larger town. In February 1903, after the entire China Eastern Railway was completed and opened to traffic, the China Eastern Railway Administration, which was responsible for railway management and operation, was located in Harbin. This was the beginning of its rise. Therefore, Harbin is a city with a strong Russian style. To this day, the big columns and Harbin red sausages in Qiulin Department Store, the Russian-style buildings on Zhongyang Street, and the magnificent Sofia Cathedral can still remind people of the Russian style of Harbin in the past. After liberation, marked by the development of Beidahuang in the 1950s and the Daqing Oilfield in the 1960s, Heilongjiang gradually became one of the more economically developed provinces among the three northeastern provinces.
Similarly, the Black Province also has huge development value. For Zhang Hanqing, the purpose of doing everything possible to eliminate the Japanese infiltration plan is to create a "safe province" completely controlled by the Northeast Autonomous Government.
What is lacking most in the Northeast? industry! What is the basis of industry? Steel and coal! How to get steel and coal? Mining! What to do if there is a lack of manpower? Use prisoners!
Nearly 2,000 people from the former Gaoshi Jilin Second Mixed Brigade were used as front-line prison guards to manage nearly 60,000 beards, and started working on nearly 300 mines that had been explored. Of course, the manpower assigned by the security brigades from each province will also be responsible for guarding.
Labor can purify people’s souls. New China used labor reeducation to turn a large number of cancers of the old society into useful people to society through self-reliance. Prostitutes, landlords, beards, prisoners of war, reactionaries, you name it, the most sensational example is the transformation of the pseudo-emperor Puyi. Later, the party and government, having tasted the sweetness, stipulated reeducation through labor as part of the punishment in the law, which achieved good social effects.
Now, as a practice of reeducation through labor, this group of people, under the arrangement of the Chinese People’s Party, began to systematically atone for their past sins. According to the announced plan, the labor camp will last for three years. Those who perform well will be promoted internally (from detainees to under-supervised labor bosses), released early, and those who perform better will receive a piece of land in their hometown.
Of course, the punishment is also very severe: those who escape privately may be placed in confinement, have their sentences increased, or be shot on the spot depending on the severity of the case. In the dense forests of the Northeast and in the environment where the surrounding cities have been liberated, escaping is not an easy task. The white mountains and black waters where the mountains and forests used to be good for banditry have now become natural labor camps where their hands and feet are bound.
In addition to working in the mines, these free laborers are also responsible for paving roads and building bridges. As the anti-bandit war expanded, "fresh troops" captured from various places were concentrated and sent to inaccessible places like the Black Province. As part of the strategic plan to develop the Northeast and use Heilongjiang as its rear base, these energetic and organized people began to move into other areas to replace the shortcomings of insufficient people and livestock: railway spurs, roads, docks, river dredging, water conservancy facilities, and even Under Zhang Hanqing's instruction, they also built a huge farm, covering one million acres. Zhang Hanqing named it "The First Farm in Beidahuang"
“This is a group of strong people who once caused huge disasters to the Northeast. Through labor, can they be transformed into ordinary workers who can earn their own living? Zhang Hanqing does not have big expectations, but as free labor force, they have written an important chapter in the economic construction of Northeast China and should be remembered in history forever.

Zhang Hanqing was naturally elated when he returned the favor with the remaining power of victory. The bandits have been basically eliminated, and the economic construction of revitalizing the Northeast can be carried out according to the plan. At this time, there are no constraints anymore. However, before formulating the Northeast New Deal, there is one more thing that needs to be implemented, and that is to marry Huang Wanqing into the family.
You can’t just start chaos and end up giving up, right? This is not Zhang Hanqing's style. Even Hong Mudan, in order not to delay her, I persuaded her to find a good family to marry, and I even bought her a house in Fengtian City with my own money. When my friend has reached this point, his benevolence and righteousness have finally been exhausted.
Of course, when it came time, I couldn't help but indulge again, which made Red Peony cry and refused to let go. However, with her background, it is difficult for her to have a place in the Marshal's Mansion. Even Zhang Zuolin did not agree at the beginning. What's more, now that her net worth has increased, she has to worry about her reputation, right? Thinking that as a young commander, he would have the opportunity to be criticized and teased by countless dirty men in his mind, his enthusiasm waned.
It's not that I haven't thought about starting a new business. Firstly, to embarrass Yu Fengzhi will make others think that she can't tolerate others; secondly, she has really matured: the red peony is beautiful, but as she gets older and has more experience, As the number of people increases, those things between men and women gradually give way to the pursuit of power. From the perspective of stabilizing power, she is really not of much use to him, except for physical needs - now he is no longer inferior to women.
His ideological level determines that he and Red Peony will never meet again, so why should he have an unrequited love for a flower?
“ But it’s different for Huang Wanqing. Being with her gave him a refreshing feeling like the girl next door, making him intoxicated and unable to stop. Although Huang Wanqing appeared to be soft and frail on the surface, Zhang Hanqing could definitely confirm her determination and fortitude after two contacts. If she is given a stage, she will not do any worse than most men. It may be because she comes from a wealthy businessman's family, so she has a little more knowledge than ordinary people. Yu Fengzhi has a lot of similarities with her. Although she is gentle, generous and decent, her calmness in times of trouble is natural.
You shouldn’t compare with Yu Fengzhi, it’s a bit inappropriate, but there is no one else to compare with.
This is a lady from a wealthy family. Judging from the family conditions before she met her, she would never become a concubine, and Xu De must be from a well-matched family. It can be felt that she has feelings for him, even before physical contact. I also admire her very much, both before and after contact.
"You can't wrong her. You must give her a legitimate opportunity to enter the house. This is a man's responsibility.
Huang Wanqing has returned to her second uncle's home in Fengtian City to stay temporarily - because of her relationship, she has become homeless. But thinking of her sister Huang Ruqing, the chaos of that night was still vivid in her mind, and she couldn't help but think about their behavior in bed.
“Ahem, I’m overthinking this. Let’s think about how to explain this matter to my wife. If she doesn't agree, the matter is over.
Before suppressing the bandits, Yu Fengzhi held her belly and told herself again and again, taking and putting away her clothes, doing her best as a wife, which moved him deeply. Thinking about the past two years of marriage, apart from taking the time to fulfill her husband's obligations so that her husband could have a daughter and then conceive another child, she seemed to have done nothing. When she came back this time, she hugged her big belly and asked for help, trying her best to create a warm family atmosphere. But he wanted to confess to her that he wanted to marry another younger one!
Although I have been integrated into this society for a long time and am used to seeing men having three wives and four concubines - many senior people in the Fengjun army have concubines, which has become fashionable - I can't help but feel ashamed. . He sat in front of the dressing table in his bedroom, holding a teacup in his hand, wondering how to open his mouth.
Yu Fengzhi is somewhat used to her husband's absence for several months. Zhang Hanqing has always been busy with the army, parliament, party organizations, and government, but he was surprised to make a lot of big noises. For such a big thing as the suppression of bandits this time, it is normal to have to work hard for several months. Even my father-in-law is still reading official documents late every night.
Zhang Hanqing was about to say goodbye, but Yu Fengzhi thought that he was not used to being quiet for a while, or that he was too tired during this period, so he walked gently behind him and said: "Hanqing, it's too cold in the room, so you'd better go outside." Let's go, it won't be boring this way." It would be nice if her husband came back. It's not convenient for me to go out, and I don't need him to accompany me all day long. Men still have men's things to do, although I also want him to stay by my side.
Zhang Hanqing felt even more guilty. He gently pulled Yue Fengzhi, held her in his arms and sat on his lap. Her belly was already so big that she couldn't hold it completely; her body was so heavy that it felt so heavy on her legs.
Do you want to mention this yourself? What would Yu Fengzhi think? Will her mood fluctuate greatly during her pregnancy? I am really worse than a beast. It would be too cruel for her to marry a little wife at this time! Thinking about getting married for peace of mindRegarding the matter of setting up the Guard Brigade, she went to her parents' house several times, stopped several businesses, and moved a lot of cash to him, which allowed him to survive the most difficult stage. Although he later gave her natal family a lot of compensation, and her elder brother-in-law also became the vice president of Northeast Bank, the kindness and kindness involved cannot be spent with cold money.
Carefully, Zhang Hanqing did not dare to look directly into her eyes: "Honey, I want to tell you something."
Yu Fengzhi smiled slightly, as soon as her husband called her "wife", it meant he had something to ask of her. Either he wants to be affectionate, he is being a talker, or he is really in trouble.
She relaxed her body and said softly: "What's the matter? Tell me." She had a doting attitude toward her husband, who was three years younger than her, even though her little girl was still breastfeeding. "Young Marshal from the Northeast, Lieutenant General and General Counselor of the Fengjun Army, what else can trouble you?" This was a joke between husband and wife, but Zhang Hanqing was indeed promoted again due to his merit, and this time he was well-deserved. Regardless of whether the Central Committee will agree in the end, Zhang Zuolin made the decision himself.
Zhang Hanqing muttered: "I told you, don't be angry."
Yu Fengzhi looked at him, and with a woman's sixth sense, she suddenly had a bad premonition. Her expression became serious and her body slowly stood upright: "You tell me."
Unlike before when she came home from a long trip and was anxious to pay for the public food, her husband didn’t have any intention of returning home for two days this time, which she still found strange. It's true that she is pregnant. This has nothing to do with men's needs. She has her own way and has been here before.
Zhang Hanqing raised his eyes to look at her, then lowered his head: "I met a girl outside"
as expected! Yu Fengzhi's heart sank. Needless to say, she is a smart woman who knows everything from head to toe.
In this era, it is common for men of high status to have three wives and four concubines. In the Zhang family, his father-in-law has married six wives, and the youngest is two years younger than himself. The key to why my husband is so outstanding is that his status is extraordinary, that is, he doesn't think about it, and he rushes to deliver good things, unscrupulous things, and requests to his door sooner or later.
However, there is still some difference between understanding and actually happening. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 344 Unspeakable

Yu Fengzhi didn’t speak, just stayed quietly in his arms, silent for a long time.
Zhang Hanqing was relieved. Now that the words have been spoken, it doesn't matter anymore. If it works, it doesn't matter. If it doesn't work, think of other ways. Anyway, I will definitely create the conditions to attend. However, he was still a little uneasy, and he was waiting for the next voice to break out. Isn't it like this in movies?
Is this the virtue of a man? Just like a famous actor in Hong Kong said in later generations: "I made the same mistake that all men in the world make." And then I made the mistake.
He misjudged the ability of women in this era to bear this matter. Yu Fengzhi saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and he couldn't hold back his anger: "Then what? What do you want to say?"
Damn it, what else do you want to say? Isn't it a thunderous strike? Brother has already prepared it. For the sake of women, no matter how severe the rebuke is, I have to bear it!
He stammered: "I have skin-to-skin contact with her"
Yu Fengzhi continued to ask calmly: "What then?"
Damn, it’s really hard to let yourself play freely! You can't just cry like a little woman and then I'll comfort you, and finally we can discuss what to do together.
"I want to marry her"
"Don't you want to?"
Uhwhat are these words! I'm not a fastidious person. Since I have done such a thing, I must bear the responsibility. Didn't I want to discuss with you what to do? How could I have such a calm response? I can't stand it anymore.
Zhang Hanqing was completely unable to catch up, and Yu Fengzhi also lowered his head. There was silence in the room, and the happy shouts of the little girls could be heard in the distance. The marshal's family is very kind to their servants, especially the young marshal and his wife. They never make things difficult for their servants. Therefore, only such a wealthy family can be so angry.
The door curtain was suddenly opened, but Chuni didn't hear any movement in the house and thought something was going on. She looked over and saw Zhang Hanqing and his wife hugging each other and talking. She stuck out her tongue and got out.
The two of them said nothing.
Gently, Yu Fengzhi sighed leisurely and said: "I know that my father-in-law promised before you and I got married that you can find other women after marriage. Men can have three wives and four concubines. This is a woman's destiny. You are Young Marshal of Fengtian, I know that I can’t control your heart, and I also know what you are doing outside. I can tolerate you living and drinking outside, but I will never agree with you bringing a woman to the Marshal’s house!”
Zhang Hanqing was a little ashamed. It turned out that the woman's request was so simple! Unfortunately, I had already thought about it and read it countless times. If you don't want to go in, don't go in. The mistress and the first wife haven't met yet. Now it's great, madam, the green light is given, and the colorful flags can fly. His romantic nature returned and he began to think wildly.
A series of problems came again. To hide a beauty in a golden house requires money. Huang Wanqing's father purchased property twice, and twice he, his "virtuous son-in-law," plundered everything. Now he still has to live in his brother's house. Regardless of the huge amount of money he handles, Zhang Hanqing is really a man of peace and quiet. In order to raise and train soldiers, if you don't have money, you have to think of ways to do it. Usually, you would like to build a gold mountain to support them, so how can you help them?
Yu Fengzhi was considerate: "Are you short of money? Later I will ask someone to give you two hundred thousand, and you can buy a small building in Fengtian City to settle down first. If the money is not enough, I will Think of ways to."
She is really not short of money. In the past two years, her natal brother has run Fengtian Agricultural Credit Cooperative, Fengtian Bank and the upgraded Northeast Agricultural Bank, and has distributed hundreds of thousands of dividend income every year. Although it is said that the shares are jointly owned by the couple, because she manages the household, all the money is in her hands. This money is not idle, it has been invested in various industries——as the eldest daughter of the once number one businessman in Fengtian, how can Yu Fengzhi let the money idle?
When Fengtian Farmers Capital Credit Cooperative was first established, the Yu family became the largest shareholder with 800,000 yuan, accounting for 40% of the total share capital of 2 million yuan. Zhang Zuolin alone accounts for 5%, and Yu Fengzhi and his wife account for 5% (the married daughter is not considered a member of the Yu family).
Later, Fengtian Agricultural Bank was established based on this credit cooperative. When her brother Yu Aozhou distributed the Yu family's shares in the Fengtian Farmers' Capital Credit Union, with Yu's mother's consent, he reduced the Yu family's share by 5% and used the excess. Part of the share capital of her and Zhang Hanqing increased, which was equivalent to giving away.
This is not a small amount. This share capital has been fermented throughout the Northeast and has now become the Northeast Agricultural Bank of China with a capital of 40 million. In terms of shares, she privately owns as much as three to four million! Such a rise at that time was incredible now. According to future valuations, Yu Feng would have already been a billionaire.
But no matter how open-minded a woman is, she will not give money to her husband.?Other women use it. By doing this, Yu Fengzhi is tantamount to being a perfect wife who pays her husband to give her a breastmilk! This made Zhang Hanqing very touched. Feeling guilty, Zhang Hanqing hugged Yu Fengzhi and said, "You married the wrong person. You are a good wife and mother." He added in his heart: "But I just don't want"
I am moved. I still need money, but it is very unfair to get it.
Chuni was originally her playmate and caring girl since she was a child, but she also "betrayed" after Yu Fengzhi came in. In two years, she has become Yu Fengzhi's rare assistant in financial management. After being ordered to withdraw 200,000 foreign dollars and learning its use, he couldn't help asking repeatedly regardless of his dignity: "Master, how could you do this? This is what the young mistress saved to support the family. How could you use it to marry someone else?" woman?"
This is the truth, but can you, little girl, not be so direct in your words? Fortunately, I saved you from the Japanese and raised you in the commander's mansion. You can't be a man without conscience! (However, my conscience is not very good.)
It was Yu Fengzhi who came to the rescue: "Chunni, don't talk nonsense. Logically speaking, I should be the one to arrange Miss Huang's life."
Chuni was puzzled, but she still pouted and threw the big stack of banknotes into Zhang Hanqing's hand, and said angrily: "Young lady is so virtuous. If you want me to see it, I will deduct all the young master's money so that he doesn't have any foreign money." , look at him messing around with women outside!"
Yu Fengzhi smiled. This little girl is so naive. With her husband’s ability, how can she not get such a little money? Back then, raising pigs, producing instant noodles, and building factories, which one was not a profitable business? Now "Yi Tong" Food Factory has become one of the largest food industry giants in the country. With an annual output of 50 million packs of instant noodles alone, it can earn a million yuan! There are also the Fushun Coal Mine, Benxi Nanfen Iron Mine, and Anshan New Iron Mine that he single-handedly supported. Which one of them is not making a lot of money? My natal family is also closely related to her husband, and is firmly ranked among the richest people in the Northeast. Even the funds for the Guard Division and the First Division were all handled by him personally, and any random calculation would not be included in this amount. Her husband's contribution to Fengjun in the past two years can really be described as "selfless", if it were not taken into account that Fengjun is actually the private army of the Zhang family.
With good family education and personal cultivation, Yu Fengzhi has a very clear understanding of marriage. She said to Chunni: "You are still young and don't understand that the relationship between husband and wife is like a bow and arrow. The husband is like an arrow, and the wife is like a bow. , if the bow is broken, the arrow cannot be shot." If you didn't think of the origin of this sentence because of this, it would be considered quite insightful, but Zhang Hanqing liked it. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

In this day and age, the one who is extremely proud and can hum this tune is none other than Zhang Hanqing.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? “Ask for a second home”, and even provide funds for the activities. It really makes people want to talk but still give up! If Chuni's words hadn't seriously hurt the young marshal's "self-esteem," Zhang Hanqing would have flown with joy: "Oh, the evil old society is so good!"
He is on his way to Huang's house.
With money, the backyard is settled, and we can happily enjoy the blessings of everyone. He thought about how happy Huang Wanqing would be if she could start a small family with him openly, "legally" and independently: she wouldn't have to worry about being tricked by Yu Fengzhi, and she would have a certain status and even property. Legally owned (Scenes from the movie about the younger wife being bullied by the elder wife in a big family in the old society flashed into my mind)
The three brothers of the Huang family, Huang Gongting, Huang Xianting and Huang Fengting, are rarely together. The original three brothers were all famous: Huang Gongting, who was the director of the Civil Affairs Department and one of the leading figures in Fengtian; Huang Xianting, a wealthy businessman in Fengtian, once controlled one of the two largest gold shops in Fengtian; Huang Fengting , owns three thousand acres of fertile land and handles hundreds of thousands of goods. Since Zhang Hanqing intervened in their lives, they have been dismissed from office and their homes have been confiscated, and their economic status has plummeted. They couldn't help but call Zhang Hanqing a "damn little beast" before, and they looked like they were bitter and resentful when they mentioned him.
But now, they were talking and laughing again about many interesting stories and allusions about the young marshal. Of course, they were all positive, glorious, and tall. Huang Fengting, whose house had been ransacked twice by Xiao Zhang, was laughing from ear to ear.
Although he is smiling happily now, some time ago when Huang Wanqing told her mother half-shyly and half-timidly that she and Zhang Hancrucian were already intimately related, he was extremely worried about the tragic experience of losing his family fortune and losing people. After all, he cursed Zhang Hanqing more than once.
However, a few days ago, his wife quietly told him that their daughter was attracted by the young marshal and she wanted to come to discuss marriage and marriage in person. As a result, all these have become the daughter's shrewdness. The affair between Zhang Hanqing and Huang Wanqing is no longer a problem now. Do you and I agree with this young couple?
No wonder I experienced two house raids and turned the corner when I was about to be beheaded. It turns out there is such a relationship! It doesn't matter what kind of confiscation of homes or fields it is. With this son-in-law, it's hard not to make a fortune! Today, Zhang Hanqing's demeanor is even better than before, and his status is even better than before. The key is his method of making money, which makes the three brothers of the Huang family, who have been rich for many years, feel ashamed. The child Wanqing is as beautiful as a flower, and she is a perfect match for the young marshal.
Not only was he happy, but when the news came out, the entire Huang family was elated. This was a huge happy event.
Soon, both brothers knew about it, and both expressed their strong approval of the marriage regardless of their past grudges. After experiencing ups and downs, the three brothers all felt strongly about the prominent status of the Marshal's Mansion. Huang Gongting longed for the fact that with the relationship with the young commander, reinstatement would not be a problem at all; Huang Xianting hoped to use this momentum to make a comeback.
When he was frothing at the mouth, the servant came to report that the young marshal had arrived.
The three of them rushed to the door together, only to see two rows of mighty soldiers spread out in the shape of wild geese. The young marshal, dressed in military uniform, strode in energetically. His adjutant followed closely behind with two soldiers carrying a box of unknown items. The heavily armed soldiers who were trembling at first looked so friendly now.
The gift is a heavy gift, and it uses Zhang Hanqing’s own small treasury.
Zhang Hanqing has indeed put in some effort into the various industries handled by Fengtian, but this is purely an obligation and is free of charge. It’s not that his quality is too high, but it’s because he has just invested, has a lot of waste to do, finances are tight, and he is embarrassed to ask for money. Image is very important, but he can’t have something in his hands, and he can’t ask his dad for everything. Otherwise, how can he appear mature: Zhang Zuolin is more and more interested in himself because he can do so many tricks on his own, and he has more and more power. Ask your wife for it? Alas, if you want to revive Fu Gang, you can't do this at any cost.
Since the fall of Feng Delin, the Guards Division has openly taken advantage of Fengtian's finances, and the industrial income created by Zhang Hanqing belongs to himself. Of course, it is not kept in the pockets, but transferred to the hands of one's own people for development and growth.
It’s not that he has selfish motives, it’s because he has limited control over Fengjun and the government’s wordsI have inquired from the side and found that the Zhang family's aunts and wives are living a good life, and there is no such thing as being abused by the housewife. Of course, it is also related to the early death of the first wife and Zhang Hanqing's mother.
As for Zhang Hanqing, the eldest son of the younger generation, he only has one wife and a good temper. Even if he becomes his second concubine, he will not be aggrieved. It was an unexpected surprise to hear that he had relaxed the standards for his marriage.
"Our Huang family is also a wealthy family. We were originally unwilling to let Qing'er marry into the Zhang family and become the second wife. But when our daughter grows up, she has no choice but to be married to her. This is also a destined marriage in her previous life. We are also enlightened and will not stop you. Qing'er is also a well-educated and courteous person. It is your duty to respect your aunt and serve your husband after you get married. We are not worried about this. We just hope that you will treat Qing'er well in the future." This was Huang's mother's sincere advice before the marriage.
Father Huang also expressed his agreement: "We have read the wedding date you set and think it will be a good day, so let's do it."
Seeing that everyone and things around him and outside were settled, the happy Zhang Hanqing proposed to talk to Huang Wanqing, and the three elders actually acquiesced. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 346 The Debate over Entrance
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
In this era, the protection between men and women is no longer as strict as before. This is attributed to the legislative principles of freedom of marriage and equality between men and women in the "Marriage Law" of the Republic of China. Although traditional marriages rely on the words of a matchmaker, the children are privately determined for life. If the more enlightened adults agree in their hearts, they will turn a blind eye.
Facing the young marshal’s thoughts, the three elders all closed their eyes.
Zhang Hanqing went to Huang Wanqing's boudoir amidst the astonishment of everyone in the Huang family. According to northern customs, men and women cannot meet each other after they are engaged and before they get married; at any time before they get married, a man cannot enter his future wife's room. But all this has nothing to do with Zhang Hanqing. For him, who comes from a later generation, living together before marriage is not used to it, and the defense between men and women is even more of a joke.
Huang Wanqing's room is next to Huang Ruqing's. At this time, her room was full of people: aunts, aunts, aunts and uncles all gathered around her and talked to her. Who makes her, the future handsome wife, be the support of the entire Huang family? Huang Wanqing's face turned red with embarrassment, and she was unconsciously providing entertainment to her relatives.
She is a woman with traditional ideas. From the moment she committed herself, she has regarded Zhang Hanqing as her lifelong support. Zhang Hanqing promised to give her enough courtesy to give her more face in the Huang family, make her feel happy from the bottom of her heart, and reduce the psychological burden of being a concubine a lot. She has known the attitude of her family for a long time. They are happy to see the outcome. For an unmarried girl, besides getting married, is there anything more worth looking forward to?
Only Huang Ruqing had a smile on his face and a sense of sadness in his heart. It was hard for her to accept that the young commander she had spent a ridiculous night with had become her cousin's husband. The most annoying thing is that she has to watch her cousin's happiness with her own eyes to stimulate the loss in her heart.
Although, on that ridiculous night, she was passive at first.
There was a sound of striding outside the door, and based on her feeling, she already knew who was coming. But, how could he come here? Didn't my parents stop me? How shameful this is in front of so many relatives!
A ray of sunshine shone into the warm boudoir. Under the dazzling light, Zhang Hanqing stood at the door with a smile on his face. With a handsome and elegant face, a tall and straight figure, and a tight-fitting military uniform, he looks particularly energetic. No need to announce, he came in by himself.
Seeing the young marshal striding into Huang Wanqing's boudoir, all the female relatives laughed and avoided him. It seemed that the future young couple wanted to whisper. Since the young marshal was going to become the son-in-law of the Huang family, he was bolder. Naturally, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Hanqing and then tut at Huang Wanqing, which made her feel even more shy.
With the joy of "successful negotiation and implementation of tasks", Zhang Hanqing has a great ambition. The first wife relented and allowed him to marry again. He felt completely confident to face Huang Wanqing. While everyone is away, I have to show off my abilities as a young commander. He smiled and whispered to Huang Wanqing: "I told you, Feng Zhi is not that kind of person. Not only did she agree to our matter, she also paid for me to buy a big house in the south of the city for you. I have my eye on a house. Liangjin Siheyuan has been bought in your name. From now on, you will be the mistress of the new house, and you will have a place to stay. You no longer have to live in your uncle's house. Your family can live in it."
Huang Wanqing asked very sensitively: "Young Madam, you won't let me enter the Marshal's Mansion?"
Huh? What's this? Isn't that great? Hide in the small building and become a unified body, caring about winter, summer, spring and autumn. Zhang Hanqing's principle is that he would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox. Doesn't he feel uncomfortable when he enters the handsome man's house and looks at the eldest wife? Is your brain rusty? He looked at Huang Wanqing strangely: "Isn't this great? In the new house, you are the head of the family, so why bother going to the Marshal's Mansion? There are still many rules in the mansion."
I remember watching TV movies in my previous life, in which the big family was full of intrigues, and all the aunts and wives were bullied under the pressure of the first wife. The reality is that there are still people trying to get in! Although Feng Zhi is not such a person, it's still nice to be the boss, right?
Huang Wanqing's eyes full of life suddenly dimmed: "Is it the young lady who doesn't want me to enter the Marshal's house?" You can even guess this, Xiao Nizi is very smart.
Her words made Zhang Hanqing feel something. After all, he couldn't look at the problems in evolution from the perspective of someone who had experienced it, but he still asked strangely: "Where is it? It's not difficult to enter the Marshal's Mansion, but what is there outside?" Is it not good?"
Huang Wanqing bit her lip, and as soon as her red mouth was sucked into her mouth, the blood immediately disappeared. Although this mouth had been held by him many times, Zhang Hanqing was still a little dazzled. I only heard Huang Wanqing's tepid voice in my ears: "Young Marshal, you are a man, and you don't understand what it means to me to enter the Marshal's Mansion. I am not coveting the name and momentum of the Marshal's Mansion, I just ,for meFor me, it represents the Zhang family’s recognition of me, you know? ! Although our Huang family is in decline, we were once a wealthy family, and we have not yet reached the point where we want our daughter to be a concubine! Only the outer room will be placed outside. "
????????? Dare to be affectionate, whether you can enter the Marshal’s Mansion or not, it has risen to the level of recognition for her! Zhang Hanqing was speechless, there is another saying. However, with Yu Fengzhi's presence, she was destined to be the second wife and her nature as a "concubine". Even if she was carried into the commander's mansion in a sedan chair, he could not change her.
Does it make sense? As long as this wedding is done with splendor and everyone in Fengtian City knows about it, won't it be enough? It’s not a private subscription for life! Zhang Hanqing still asked in confusion: "What's wrong? You want to enter the Marshal's Mansion? That's easy too. I'll go back and talk to Fengzhi." Although Yu Fengzhi gave him principles, but with his understanding of her, he only needs to be soft-spoken. No matter how hard it is, she will agree in the end. She is a typical talkative person.
Huang Wanqing shook her head, pursed her lips and tried not to cry, but tears flowed down, which made Zhang Hanqing feel flustered. He hurriedly moved up to her and put his arms around her waist - well, after not seeing each other for a few days, her waist was still so slippery. I really couldn't figure out how it grew. This gentle woman is so sad that it breaks your heart.
Huang Wanqing struggled a few times and then stopped moving. In Zhang Hanqing's warm embrace, Huang Wanqing replied quietly: "I really don't care whether I can enter the handsome man's house or not, as long as I can be with you. If I wasn't thinking about my parents, I would be my daughter. They would be thinking about the glory. Marry me, and I won't bother you with these scenes. From the moment you said, "Feng Zhi is not that kind of person," I knew that you must have encountered resistance. I don't want to cause more trouble, It’s just that after we get married, I have to follow the rules and go to the handsome man’s house to meet my parents-in-law and his wife. You must follow me on this point.”
This is a smart woman. Zhang Hanqing was a little surprised by her sixth sense. However, he still said easily: "It's not what you think. If you enter the handsome man's house, no one can stop you." At worst, it's a matter of life and death, and he doesn't hesitate to agree with his body. He thinks of a way, Will Fengzhi agree? he thinks.
In response to Zhang Hanqing's question, Huang Wanqing shook her head and said, "No!" She said so categorically that Zhang Hanqing was terrified. Just a moment ago, he was trying different ways to test whether he would let me in, but in the next moment he was determined not to let me in. What happened in just a few sentences before and after?
I go! Is it really that meaningful to enter that mansion? A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, and it's impossible to fathom it. I can only give her more physical love in the future.
When the "guest" third uncle's family found a good home for Huang Wanqing and became a wealthy family, and the Huang family around him fell into a collective carnival state in order to successfully marry the Zhang family, Huang Ruqing, as the daughter of the "master" family, was very unhappy. Lost, even though she knew that as a widow, she would never have any interaction with Zhang Hanqing again. That unspeakable night will remain in my heart forever.
Her mother saw her loneliness. Regarding the sacrifices her daughter had made for this family, she could only swallow tears in her stomach. Damn it! This kind of thing cannot be mentioned as the happy event of the third child's family is approaching. What's the point?
The young marshal’s wedding took place very quickly. Everyone gave Zhang Hanqing face. Except for Zhang Zuolin, who was unable to show up due to custom as his father, almost all the leading figures in Fengtian were present.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? By Zhang Hanqing Live up to his promise, he actually made eight big sedans, making everyone in the Huang family look good. No amount of money can be exchanged for this sedan chair!
After welcoming the bride, the three Huang Fengting brothers sat in their seats, accompanied by Zhang Zuoxiang, and allowed the senior officials of Fengtian Provincial City to toast him one after another. They were full of emotions in their hearts. Originally, Zhang Zuoxiang was a member of the male guests' party, but because he was "hired" without pay as the organizer of the women's event, he had the opportunity to drink with Huang Fengting.
The young marshal's reputation was of great concern. The brothers of the Guard Division and the First Division who fought with him were all asking for drinks in the new house. Senior military and political officials from the Northeast who were familiar with him were also sitting beside him. On the contrary, Some officials who were really speechless could not go to Xiao Zhang's doorstep, so they had to drink wine from the woman's family, so they came uninvited, which gave the Huang family a lot of face.
These people may not have the same position as Young Marshal, but in the Huang family, they used to have a smile on their face no matter how hard they stamped their feet.
Huang Gongting was originally the director of the Civil Affairs Department of Fengtian, and he had many contacts when he was in power. After being fucked by Lao Zhang, he once again strengthened his understanding of the nature of officialdom people. Now, not only are the familiar former colleagues here, but the powerful people who needed to look up to him at the beginning have also personally greeted him cordially. Not to mention how warm the atmosphere is, a sense of happiness arises in his heart.
As the father-in-law, Huang Fengting is naturally the focus of greetings. He originally felt that he had been left out because his daughter failed to enter the Marshal's Mansion, but he wiped away his previous unhappiness and reservedly returned the greetings to the distinguished guests who were toasting. Although he is still a businessman, he still feels the huge influence of power: the heads of powerful units such as the court and the police department talk to him confidantly, and the shopkeepers of several large companies in taxation, finance, banking, and Fengtian also have a drink and chat with him. Old acquaintances and business friends even said with envy: "Mr. Huang, congratulations on giving birth to a good daughter!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The huge influence of his power: The heads of powerful units such as the court and the police department talked to him heart-to-heart.

This long-lost "Master Huang" almost made Huang Fengting burst into tears. It came from none other than a former partner. This old friend, who is behind in his family, is said to be even richer. However, from his flattering smile, we can clearly see the impact that his daughter Que Dengzhi has had on him: After all, power is greater than money!
Compared with his elder brother and third brother, Huang Xianting felt a little bitter: after this incident, even if his elder brother could not resume his position as director of the Department of Civil Affairs, he had a great chance of reinstatement. The powerful Zhang Zuoxiang always praised him for his extraordinary ability——but Why did you still want to capture him in the first place? But I can only say this in my heart; let alone the third brother, there is a long queue of people who are willing to do business with him heart-to-heart. As long as he raises his arms, he will not worry about making money. Besides, the heads of the bank are also willing to do business with him. A lot of attention has been paid to his business - although the third brother is currently penniless and has problems with his place to live, there are many opportunities for investment projects based on his years of experience in shopping malls. Yes, as long as you have money——money should no longer be a problem now, his rise is only a matter of time.
“On my own, the useless son-in-law was beaten to death and could never be resurrected, and the beautiful daughter had to remain a widow. I had heard my mother-in-law whisper about what happened between Huang Ruqing and the young marshal in private. It must be true. Otherwise, several of his colleagues who followed him would have been killed. However, as the leader, he came out unscathed despite such a serious crime. Already? Originally, I was thinking of proposing another marriage to Ru Qing, but now that I have a relationship like the young marshal, I don’t dare to talk about it!
The magistrate who ransacked the family, and the county magistrate who exterminated the family. The duties and powers of this niece-in-law are not limited to those of the magistrate and county magistrate? If it weren't for my two daughters, my Huang family would have been in dilapidated condition. The thought of wealth only occurred to him in a single thought, and the idea of ??taking advantage of the opportunity to climb a dragon and become a phoenix became stronger every time.
The crowd Jiu Xing was now, but Zhang Hanqing quarreled. Guo Songling and Han Linchun were both grown men, and they still tried to persuade them to drink alcohol again and again. What day is it today? Can I drink this wine randomly? Leaving aside the topic of eugenics and nurturing, what should I do if I get drunk in the bridal chamber and intoxicate the beauty? It’s been a long time since I came to Fengtian and I haven’t had a chance to talk properly.
Looking at beauties under the lamp, the more you look at them, the more beautiful they become. Originally, everyone will get drunk even if they are not drunk with wine. Lifting the red hijab, Huang Wanqing was dressed in a red robe, and she looked very charming under the candlelight. Zhang Hanqing was distracted and sat down in the middle of the bed, next to her, wanting to talk to her.
Huang Wanqing was fully committed to this marriage. She only proposed to go to the Marshal's Mansion because of her parents' wishes, but she couldn't insist on it for too long. She didn't want to make it difficult for Zhang Hanqing. The young marshal has already offered to let her parents live with her. He is already a very considerate man in this era, and she cannot ask for too much. And judging from the performance of her parents, they had a very solemn and approving attitude towards her being favored by the young commander.
Tonight, let’s serve the man properly. It has been more than ten days since that night. The young lady is pregnant, and I don't know how the young commander lived without a woman. Thinking of the young marshal's bravery, she couldn't help but be fascinated.
Now that my beloved is by my side, any discerning person knows what he is going to do, so we just let him be frivolous. After she became the young commander's wife, she had to do something good. Women in the Republic of China were already able to show their faces, but they couldn't live up to their keen business talents. She allowed Zhang Hanqing's hands to explore her body, while panting softly, she said softly: "Hanqing, I want to do some business after getting married, is that possible?"
No matter what, her husband is her god now, and everything must be done with his consent. In addition to buying a small building, the young marshal knew about her family's difficulties and asked someone to give her 100,000 yuan as a dowry. However, since everything was taken care of by the uncle, this money was also used as part of the dowry. To a new home. Of course, one hundred thousand yuan is much less than the situation of my family back then, but my father's connections are still there. The key is that with Zhang Hanqing's name, it is difficult to do anything based on his own ability. She was just worried that as the new young lady of the Zhang family, the young commander would not allow her to show her face.
Zhang Hanqing has no intention of imprisoning women. In his time, women could do more than men, and it was truly said that "women hold up half the sky." It’s not easy to do something, I’m afraid you don’t want to do it. Moreover, the Yu family's industry is already big enough, so they can't favor one over the other. They have long had the idea of ??letting the Huang family take on some projects - everyone can make some money, so why should they give advantage to outsiders? Moreover, the Huang family has a lot of business capabilities, and it will be good for him to be powerful and powerful. He lifted up the corner of Huang Wanqing's clothes with a stern face, stretched out his hand that had already found the right place, and said with a chuckle: "When you become my woman, you can't make small fuss. I happen to have a few big things on hand." Business, I don’t know if you can make ends meet.”
There are few merchants in Fengtian City who don’t admire Zhang Hanqing’s methods of making money. The young marshal also has a vicious eye, and everyone who attacksHe created this beautiful woman from a girl. She never complained about all the experiences he had inflicted on her, and she even became his wife. Subconsciously, he felt the need to make it up to her.
He bit her earlobe and said softly: "I have thought of a deal. I will come to your father tomorrow to discuss it."
Huang Wanqing gently stroked away the bangs that were messed up by Zhang Hanqing, revealing her soft lips and bright face. The flush on her cheeks had not subsided yet, and Zhang Hanqing's heart was drunk with that touch.
She said vaguely: "You also know the situation of our family. Even a business that is too big does not have that much capital."
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said with a pun: "Funds? I have plenty, let's see how much you can ask for." As he said this, he took advantage of the excitement again. Huang Wanqing, who was accustomed to being treated twice a night, was no longer intimidated by him. She took his hand to a bulge and bounced, and said with the utmost gentleness: "I can ask for as much money as you have." She smiled shyly. , various styles.

Chapter 348 Northeast New Deal
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The difference between great people and insignificant people is that they are also loved. Great people are not trapped by the love of their children, but instead seize opportunities in it. In just one night, the Huang family's role as a giant in grain management in Northeast China was established. From then on, the Huang family rose rapidly in the financial world and brought endless help to the young marshal.
With land reform in full swing and the fight against banditry and rebellion beginning to dawn, the Zhang Zuolin government held a meeting in November to fully launch the first three-year economic development plan for the three northeastern provinces. The comprehensive construction of Northeast China conceived by Zhang Hanqing was launched vigorously. At this time, the results of land reform had not yet had time to be directly converted into government revenue. Zhang Hanqing's efforts on Soviet Russia changed the tight financial situation.
You must know that Article 6 of the Treaty of Xinchou stipulated that the Qing government should compensate eight "victimized countries" including Russia, Germany, France, Britain, the United States, Japan, Italy, and Austria, as well as Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, and Norway. Military expenditures and losses were 450 million taels of silver. The period of compensation was from 1902 to 1940. The annual interest was 4%. The total principal and interest was 980 million taels. It was the "Gengzi Indemnity". Russia's distribution rate among various countries was the largest, accounting for 28.97%. Since Russia sent troops to Manchuria, which required the most expenses, the amount of revenue was the largest, with more than 130.37 million taels. The Qing government could only repay old foreign debts with customs duties. In order to raise compensation, it apportioned an annual amount of more than 21.21 million taels to various provinces and customs, which resulted in land tax, grain tax, deed tax, pawn tax, salt price increase, etc. Customs duties, taxes, unified taxes and various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes continued to increase. Accordingly, Russia controlled all customs in the three northeastern provinces. It was only after the "Russian-Japanese War" that Russia lost the two important seaports of Dalian and Dandong. Changchun is the watershed between Japanese and Russian forces, and Harbin is the Russian sphere of influence. The power to define tariffs and customs administration in various places is not in the hands of the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government. Therefore, although Zhang Zuolin controlled the military and political affairs of Feng Province in the early stage, he was financially constrained and controlled by others. The simplest example is that even when competing with Feng Delin for the leadership of Fengtian, he needed to borrow 5 million yuan from Japan to maintain it.
As early as the beginning of the "October Revolution" in the Soviet Union, Zhang Hanqing took the lead in persuading Zhang Zuolin to recognize the Soviet Russian government in the name of the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces. Such a God-given opportunity, if I don't take advantage of this moment to get some benefits, my life in this world will be in vain. In history, this opportunity was wasted - Fengjun's strength was not at this level at the time, and there was no "think tank" like Zhang Hanqing in Fengjun who had the foresight. The real Zhang Xueliang "plucked himself up" in 1929 and engaged in the "Middle East Road Incident" to regain possession of the North Manchuria Railway. Unexpectedly, the Soviet Union, which had recovered its strength, beat him into disgrace. From then on, a desert road was formed between Russia and Russia, and the nine-nine-year-old Soviet Union was completely cut off. A possible rescue opportunity for Soviet Russia when something happened on 18th.
Opportunities sometimes only last a moment.
The new Soviet Russian government, which was under threat from the White Bandits and many foreign interference forces, quickly reciprocated this timely act of providing help: the Soviet Russian government announced that it agreed and supported the peace between the Northeastern Autonomous Government and the Far Eastern Republic. Agreement, and determined to give up all Russian privileges in China (mainly in the northeastern part), including the return of the unpaid portion of the Gengzi Indemnity. After negotiations with the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government, it gradually gave up its control over the North Manchuria Railway during the Tsarist Russia era and transferred it to Sino-Soviet co-management, with sovereignty in China. All these exchange conditions ultimately have only one purpose: to use Russia's good relations with Russia as an opportunity to prompt the Beiyang government to recognize the new Soviet power.
According to Zhang Hanqing’s analysis, this was by no means a good intention of Soviet Russia: the Soviet government established by the Bolshevik Party in Soviet Russia in 1917, on Lenin’s suggestion, signed the Brest-Litov Agreement with Germany on March 6, 1918. Treaty of Skopje. Although this treaty was signed by Russia and Germany, it greatly angered various anti-Bolshevik forces in the Soviet Union and abroad because this treaty allowed Russia to cede a large area in western Russia. Lenin judged that Germany would soon be defeated, and that the ceded land would not be retained by a defeated Germany, and would eventually fall into the hands of the Soviet government. This move still aroused dissatisfaction among the opposition; on the other hand, the war in the East was hampered by the treaty By turning to peace, the dying Germany avoided the interference of continuing the two-front war and was able to delay the war that was about to end for a while. In addition, the fear of socialism was also one of the important reasons for the later intervention of the great powers.
The civil war in Soviet Russia is raging, and the red regime is still worried about whether it can hold on. Moreover, Japan is eyeing the war in the Far East, so it is naturally happy to be a favor.
However, under the influence of Zhang Hanqing, Northeast China was the first place in modern China to partially recover its tariff autonomy, which greatly increased Zhang Zuolin's domestic prestige.
?Also relying on the revenue obtained from tariffs, the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government has safely resolved the fiscal deficit and debt repayment crisis in the most difficult first year. After passing this hurdle, from then on, as the national treasury gradually filled up, the government's financial turnover became better and better every year, and repayment became easier every year.When Zhang Zuolin came to power in the Northeast, his ally and important confidant Zhang Zuoxiang advocated that "sticking to the outside of the pass to recuperate, train soldiers, and expand strength" was the best policy. Zhang Hanqing used the wisdom of later generations and was mainly responsible for formulating the Northeast New Deal, which mainly focused on the simultaneous advancement of politics, military and economy, thus producing the "First Three-Year Plan for the Development of the Northeast National Economy", "Fengjun Construction" Three epoch-making programmatic works were the "Military Outline" and the "Regulations on the Founding of the Northeastern People's Party" with the support of Zhang Zuolin.
The "Three-Year Plan for National Economic Development in Northeast China" outlines the determination and direction of revitalizing Northeast China in a grand manner. The main contents are as follows:
First, use the power led by the autonomous government to initially establish a relatively complete industrial system related to the national economy and people's livelihood within three years, including railways, transportation, iron smelting, mining, coal, locomotive imitations, machine tools, tractors, chemical industry, and power generation. , textile industry, food industry and military industry and other industrial sectors. Each industry sets up an association, and the government appoints someone to serve as the secretary-general of the industry association, allowing and encouraging private capital financing to join. The government joins with real estate, supporting industries, or a small amount of cash as part of the shares.
The steel and chemical industries are mainly concentrated in Anshan and Benxi Lake, the coal industry is concentrated in Fushun, Benxi Lake, and Fuxin, the oil shale and synthetic fuel industries are concentrated in Fushun and Jilin, the magnesite mining industry is concentrated in Haicheng and Dashiqiao, and hydropower is concentrated in Jilin and the Yalu River, the machinery, arms, and aircraft industry center is Fengtian, while light industries such as textiles and food are concentrated in cities such as Dalian, Dandong, Harbin, and Qiqihar.
In terms of finance, the government led the establishment of Northeast Industrial Bank and Northeast Bank of Communications, together with the already functioning Northeast Agricultural Bank. As commercial institutions of the Northeast Bank, they perform the function of deposit-taking and lending in the three northeastern provinces, and private capital is allowed to invest in these institutions in the form of a joint-stock system. Three banks, but the proportion shall not exceed 50%. With banks, corresponding currencies can be issued as needed, and related investments can be targeted at specific points.
The most important difference between money and capital is: money is hidden on the body, while capital circulates in the market. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Zhang Hanqing is a person who "makes decisions" on major political matters, but he is not good at detailed work. Everything depends on the actual execution of the deputy director of the Northeast Development Commission headed by Wang Yongjiang (the predecessor of the National Development and Reform Commission, Zhang Hanqing's nominal director) , his main job is to "use amazing foresight to bring fantastic ideas to the Northeast New Deal" (see "History of the Republic of China - Biography of Zhang Xueliang").
At the beginning of the New Deal in Northeast China, the financial urgency was very obvious. Although there is a large amount of land in the Northeast, it lacks the necessary population to cultivate it. At this time, agricultural farming was still in an almost primitive form of shoulder-to-shoulder farming (this situation still occurred across China long after the reform and opening up 60 years later in official history), and individuals did not have the ability to cultivate so much land in the short term. Low productivity constrained the development of agriculture, which was the basic element that Zhang Hanqing relied on to deliver nutrients to industry.
??To engage in industry, you need money, and money can only come from agriculture as the primary industry. If agriculture wants to develop greatly and production efficiency needs to be improved, it needs the achievements of machinery and other industries, which seems to be trapped in an infinite loop. Zhang Hanqing is not an expert in economics, but he understands the theory of economics better than many masters in the financial circles in Northeast China.
China is a typical agricultural country, and money ultimately comes from agriculture.
In fact, the Northeast is not considered poor in the country. It has black soil where "oil flowers bloom when you pinch it, and sprouts sprout even when you insert a pair of chopsticks." It is rich in water conservancy resources, with rivers crisscrossing the surface, a considerable amount of groundwater, and abundant atmospheric precipitation. It is extremely Suitable for agricultural development. Industrially, because Japan and Russia successively invaded and used this place as a collection place for their raw materials, it led to the emergence of mining, ironmaking and related industries. In comparison, in terms of industry, in addition to relying on the coastal geography Except for the advantageous cities of Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Qingdao and other cities, at that time, there was no industry in the country that was more "outstanding" than the Northeast - although the Northeast also only had primitive hand-crafted workshop-style industries.
According to the Northeast Immigration Act, which was enacted to solve the problem of overcrowding and sparse land, the government gave the green light to the entry of people from within the customs and from the North Korean border. Due to the continuous civil war within the Guan, and the attraction of hearing that there was land for farming in the Northeast, the extremely poor Chinese population flocked to the outside of the Guan from North China in large numbers. On the Beijing-Fenghuang line, the preferential policies for entering Guandong continued to be implemented. Within a year after the Beijing-Tianjin floods began, more than one million extremely poor people immigrated to the Northeast. After that, the monthly income increased at a rate of 100,000. By 1919 In January, the population of Northeast China (only the three provinces outside the Guanhai Pass) was 26.22 million, which surged to 27.83 million by the end of the year, and reached 30.97 million by the end of 1920. This trend accelerated significantly.
Thank God! Although Zhang Hanqing was not a loyal Christian, he could not help but be grateful for the good weather, because 1918 was another good harvest year. With another bumper harvest year, the three northeastern provinces under the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government have an annual output of 2 million tons of soybeans, 1.6 million tons of wheat, 560,000 tons of rice, 800,000 tons of millet, 6.4 million tons of sorghum, and 4 million tons of corn. , 480,000 tons of cereals and beans (except soybeans), 240,000 tons of cotton, and 130,000 tons of tobacco. Livestock on hand include 3.2 million horses, 2.4 million cattle, 24 million sheep, and 32 million pigs. The region's annual grain output is about 16 million tons. Information from the Government Statistics Bureau shows that as of the end of December, the area of ??arable land in the region was 40 million hectares (4 billion acres), of which 12.5 million hectares were already cultivated. The forest area is 170 million hectares. Northeast China is no less the "granary of the north" than Jiangnan (it has been this way since history).
The farmers have had a good harvest, and the old landowners with a certain economic status have also become rich. However, except for collecting a pitiful small portion of agricultural taxes, the state seems to have nothing to do with it. All the efforts made by the previous government have a feeling of being married to others.
How can this be? How is this possible! Zhang Hanqing must find ways to make huge profits from agriculture. Otherwise, if the country is weak and the people are rich, his own efforts will only fatten the Northeast. Shouldn't he kill the fat pig butchers? wrong! Fat pigs are the butcher’s favorite!
However, taxes cannot be raised: on the one hand, this is a continuation of the spirit of the new people's land reform. The reform is a trifle with the reform, which only causes people's dissatisfaction and distrust of the government; on the other hand, in order to attract more people to enter the Northeast and join the Northeast Amid the wave of agricultural reform, tax reduction policies will continue.
Money still has to come from farmers. Because of the Northeastern Autonomous Government, the farmers in the Northeast, who had never had a good life in thousands of years, took the fruits of the harvest as their own for the first time. The country's promise not to interfere with the surplus grain was really fulfilled. This has given farmers unprecedented trust in the government, and they actively implement and believe in the government's various laws, regulations and requirements. In this case, in order to maximize the raising of funds for economic construction, Northeastern government bonds, also known as treasury bills, made their debut. Along with it, food stamps also appeared on the stage of history.
Which comes first, treasury bills or food stamps? No one can tell. In the end, it was the existence of treasury bills that stimulated the issuance of food stamps.Well, no one can tell whether it was the existence of food stamps that stimulated people's recognition of treasury bonds. The only thing that can be said clearly is that the issuance of these two tickets and coupons was all orchestrated by the young marshal.
??Money can become capital only when it circulates, and the capital of ordinary people is the food in their hands. The Northeast is poor, but if the food in the hands of the people is converted into capital and circulated, it will be a huge sum of money, enough to support the primitive accumulation of the Northeast economy. The landowners and businessmen in the Northeast are not poor. Even if the people in the Northeast are poor, they can't handle the large number of people, right? If we don't dig something out of their hands, we will be sorry for the various advantages we have gained since time travel.
??The primitive accumulation of capital has always been accompanied by blood and tears, as was the British enclosure movement and the slave trade in the 16th century. The issuance of Northeastern national debt and food stamps refers to this principle, but with very humane additions.
These two things, which were hailed as genius masterpieces by the Northeastern financial circles, gave Zhang Hanqing the bad reputation of a vampire at first. But when the government fulfilled its promise as scheduled, it was praised as having done a great thing for the people. So, for many things, we have to wait and see. Time is the only criterion for testing truth, that’s right.
The output of farmers includes two parts: public grain and surplus grain. Zhang Hanqing focuses on the relatively large surplus grain. His idea is to take out this part of the surplus grain and let the government use it for a period of time with less or no payment.
When doing this, it will be a little bloody at first. This is necessary during the labor pain stage. In order to allow the people to "voluntarily" hand over their surplus grain, the government has made full publicity: in addition to leaving enough grain rations and seeds for the coming year, all farmers and vendors who have grain stored in their homes exceeding a certain amount will be regarded as hoarding grain. If found, they will be confiscated. If the quantity is huge, they will be severely punished as a crime of disrupting the economy.
Of course, in order to alleviate people’s complaints against the government, the working group and publicity group also announced that the mandatory period will be three years. In extraordinary times, the people must be very cooperative. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 350 Secretly crossing Chencang
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
People with a lot of food naturally choose another way, which is to sell their surplus food.
But food is an important material and must be purchased by the government. Black market transactions are illegal. Agricultural taxes are already levied based on the market price of grain, so you won’t be able to make money by selling grain on the black market. There’s no reason for that!
??In this way, the common people sell grain to the government at a unified purchase price, and the government then unifies foreign transactions to earn the price difference. This work will be taken care of by Huang Xianting, a young and powerful businessman. He was appointed director of the Northeast Grain Administration and began to use his business skills to contribute to his good son-in-law Zhang Hanqing's money-making plan. For Huang Fengting, who is familiar with this business, having the opportunity to gather grain from the entire Northeast is a big test that he has not encountered in half his life, but he likes it. This is also a symbolic event for the Huang family's comeback.
The grassroots grassroots of the People's Party, which was omnipresent, gave Huang Fengting strong support for his grain collection work through overwhelming propaganda, and also gave him confidence. The People's Party has organized a large number of "policy lecture groups and working groups" to convey government policies to the rural level.
? Collecting grain at a low price and selling it at a high price seems to be a huge profit. After all, after excluding consumption, transportation and storage costs and the salary of handling personnel, the remaining price difference is a net profit. But Zhang Hanqing was not satisfied. He didn't even want to pay out-of-pocket money - the government was too short of money.
Therefore, he requested that the purchase of grain should not be paid directly in cash, but that the people should choose treasury bills or grain stamps.
The principal is marked on the treasury bills, and a certain amount of interest is agreed upon for one, two or three years respectively. After maturity, the government will pay the principal and interest in full in cash, and the cashing place is at the finance office of each township. Of course, to attract storage, the longer the period, the higher the interest rate. For example, the interest rate on a one-year Treasury bill is 3%, two-year interest rate is 7%, and three-year interest rate is 12%.
It is equivalent to storing food for a period of time.
Will the interest rate be too high? Zhang Hanqing smiled brightly: "It doesn't matter. In the beginning, not many people will want this thing. They must all exchange it for unprofitable food stamps. Food stamps are our highlight!"
The common people are the smartest. No matter how high the interest on treasury bills is, if they cannot be redeemed for a while, they can only be "white notes". What if money is needed? Food stamps are still the best. This is the habit that Chinese farmers have had for thousands of years to store grain in preparation for shortages. How can it be easily changed?
?Compared with the compulsory nature of treasury bills, the emergence of food stamps is more humane and puts less pressure on the government. This is because Treasury bills require repayment of principal and interest, but food stamps do not.
??It was originally designed to work with treasury bills to give people confidence. Since they are all issued by the government, people naturally begin to be suspicious of them. After you exchange part of the grain into food stamps with the mentality of giving it a try, someone must then cash it into cash grain.
The first one has no existing grain in hand, which is in line with the government's decree of "not allowed to accumulate grain." If the second one can really be exchanged freely, as long as the government's credibility is good, convenient and timely food stamps are relatively safer than treasury bills. Much, despite what interest there is on Treasury bills.
This is Zhang Hanqing’s original intention: he would rather people use food stamps than treasury bonds, if he could choose.
Because, because there is no interest on food stamps, the government can save money in the future.
Food stamps are also banknotes issued by the government in a certain denomination (denominations are ten kilograms, fifty kilograms, and one hundred kilograms). However, unlike treasury bills, when exchanging food stamps, they can be matched with a certain proportion of cash. For its daily use, it is usually nine to one.
This is Zhang Hanqing’s initiative. It is actually equivalent to depositing food in the bank, but there is no interest! But the good thing is that people don't need to worry about storing food, and it's easy to cash in. Food management offices in all towns and villages can receive food by voucher at any time.
There will be no chance that all food stamps on the market will be cashed into food, as long as family food storage is strictly controlled.
Out of distrust in the future grain harvest and love for food, most farmers initially chose food stamps that could be redeemed for cash at any time. This is just right, and the government can save the use of the few oceans.
For thousands of years, no peasant uprising has been truly successful. The reason is that sociologists and historians have given a very pertinent conclusion: the narrowness of peasant consciousness and political short-sightedness, to put it nicely, are called small farmers. Consciousness, this is also the reason why farmers cannot become revolutionary leaders.
The immediate interests are the most important thing, don’t let go, just get by.
Don’t worry about whether the food stamps will be redeemed for grain by then - because of the continuous expansion of cultivated land, the “land rent” or tax collected by the government from cultivators in the next year will be more, and the amount of surplus grain that the people have will be “saved” by the public. It will also be bigger. Although food is a necessity, as long as the government has a good reputation, it can be exchanged for food at any time.??, no one wants to risk breaking the law by cashing out their tickets. Because food stamps can be exchanged in real time (in fact, they can’t be exchanged for much. The government’s control over surplus grain is very strict. Are you okay with putting some food at home to attract thieves?), the people still liked it very much at first. Of course. Compared with treasury bills, at least it gives me peace of mind.
This is the same as the operation of the banking industry. As long as there are no runs and the funds of the bank are flowing in and out during normal operations, everything will be fine.
As for whether the government will default on the debt? Anyway, we working people are always selectively forced to believe it. Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the staff who are spitting, unwilling to leave, and showing their true feelings to the staff who have worked hard to train the People's Party's Agriculture and Industry Department and Propaganda Department?
In this way, at a very small cost, the government was able to sell most of the agricultural output in the Northeast together and made a huge profit.
The initial stage is the most painful, because it is necessary to ensure that the food is sold to the maximum extent, and at the same time, one must always be careful not to fail to redeem the food stamps. Both food stamps and treasury bills are brand new things, at least in this era. Its only Achilles heel is credit, and Zhang Hanqing also spent a lot of money to ensure that he can cash it freely, even when the government fails to accept it due to excessive investment.
In fact, treasury bills and food stamps are both physical objects obtained by the government in exchange for a piece of paper, but one has a longer time and the other has a shorter time.
?????????????????????????????????????????… Since both food stamps and one-year treasury bills are safe and cashable in a timely manner, some smarter people feel that food stamps that are "unnecessary" to be touched in their hands for a year are different from food stamps that are "unable" to be touched for a year. Treasury bills have the same safety factor. The only difference is that when the treasury bills are redeemed, they can earn a few more so-called "interests": the harvest of ten acres of land is "deposited" into the grain management office, and after one year, there will be an additional half a bushel of interest.
Because of the continuous bumper harvest of grain, some flexible farmers thought why they were holding on to a pile of food stamps that did not make money. Treasury bills can still earn interest! In this way, Treasury bills that had been unsalable for a year began to become popular.
As a virtuous circle, after ordinary farmers saw its benefits and the government's determination and fact to unconditionally fulfill it, and under the conditions of few investment opportunities at that time, the treasury issued in the second and third years was used by more and more people. people buy. And even better, the issuance of three-year Treasury bills is better because the interest rates are higher. The issuance of treasury bills suddenly jumped from less than two million at the time of preparation to 60 million, and then increased to 150 million in the third year.
With the help of large-scale industrial production, the expansion of this number is not worth worrying about, and the government finances to complete the most primitive accumulation can fully afford it. Because industrial income of the same scale will definitely exceed agricultural income, otherwise the distinction between primary industry and secondary industry will be meaningless in terms of political economy. At worst, the surplus from industry will be used to feed agriculture. Moreover, a new issue of treasury bills has to be issued every year. Although it is a bit like Yin eating Mao Liang, it can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In this way, the issuance of treasury bills by the government began to proceed relatively smoothly. Now that the people trust the government, some bolder measures can be implemented without being suppressed by various places like the mandatory issuance of treasury bills.
Zhang Hanqing laughed and called it "secretly crossing Chencang".
So it was much smoother for Zhang Hanqing to issue various "vouchers".
Through various "vouchers", the scattered private capital in the three northeastern provinces was gradually concentrated in the hands of the government in the form of currency barter. The young marshal is not as good as his father when it comes to other things, but his ability to organize money is much better than his father's. The Marshal made his money by being a horse thief and a beard, so the money was not genuine. The young marshal has "studied" foreign books, understands economics, and the way to make money is much cooler.
For example, the specialty of Northeast China is soybeans, and the young commander specializes in selling soybeans in the international market, which makes a lot of money. Someone wants to say, how much money can you make by flipping soybeans? Tiaoteng is different from Tanteng. What Young Marshal issued is a kind of non-redeemable "soybean coupon", which is the same as waste paper except that it has flowers. The young marshal used the waste paper to forcefully purchase soybeans from fellow villagers, exported the soybeans in exchange for money, and used the money to buy arms and engage in construction. Although the initial stage was a bit cruel, this was an indispensable first step for China, which was poor and weak, to recover. Thinking back in the official history, the Chinese Communist regime also used agriculture to supplement labor for decades before moving towards industrial development. And a certain superpower in the official history relied on constantly printing US dollars to maintain its economic status. It seems that this approach Different approaches but similar results. However, this Zhang Hanqing is better than the young marshals in the official history. He will not do those dirty things. When we become developed in the future, various "bonds" will still have to be cashed in. Just think of it as a national bond with a term of n years.
Various "bonds" and "notes" are essentially transactions involving the exchange of bonds and notes issued by banks under the control of the Northeast Autonomous Government. Since it is circulated within the jurisdiction of various provincial governments, it has largely replaced the small foreign bills and cash bills circulating in the market, which has made foreign banks, especially Japanese banks, that once dominated the financial field in Northeast China unable to afford it. , because they are reasonably and legally deprived of their tentacles to enter the rural areas of Northeast China - there is no money to save in the countryside, and farmers only have "debts", "coupons" and "tickets". With the pitiful transaction volume of people in the city, opening a bank is not a good idea.
They also want to put pressure on the Beiyang government through the government, but because the three northeastern provinces are essentially an independent kingdom, the central government's fiscal policy does not apply to outsiders because they are autonomous. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?They can't afford to be hurt because they have been deprived of their tentacles to enter the rural areas of Northeast China in a reasonable and legal manner - there is no money to save in the countryside, and farmers only have "debts", "coupons" and "tickets". In the Northeast where the industry is not yet developed, In this region, it is not a good idea to open a bank just relying on the pitiful transaction volume of people in the city.

Without purchasing, there will be no sales, without sales, there will be no production, and without production, there will be no motivation for the tractor factory to expand reproduction, and there will be no development. what to do?
The government has a solution! Can’t afford it as a family? Then the financial resources of five or ten households of farmers should be pooled to buy one for common use. Still can’t afford it? Take a loan! This is what the Farmers Capital Credit Cooperative does. Through the joint guarantee of five or ten households, the equipment is first brought home for use. In this way, through everyone's fundraising, its large-scale use will be possible.
What should I do if it is idle during slack time? For rent! In their spare time, some open-minded people started using it for transportation. Convenience and affordable prices have enabled Northeast tractors to embark on a path of healthy development. Its utilization rate is also among the best in the world. At the same time, it has also forced the traffic situation to improve - demand has led to the government's actions and great efforts to lay Don’t roads make everyone rich?
Because of the large-scale production with the strong support of the government, the unit cost has been reduced; because of the necessity and convenience of the addition, people are happily rushing to buy. In many places, it is difficult to find a machine and there is a queue to make an appointment.
The market is full of enthusiasm, and the production of the tractor factory is booming. This kind of scene is something Xue Guangsen, who is committed to saving the country through industry, has never thought of. He feels that he has done a great deed for the country, and he will continue to study the use of it in different terrains. The tractor also has passion.
And if it were not limited to the current funds and equipment, Fengtian Tractor Factory could completely expand its scale to better reduce costs and benefit more people.
Of course, the Yue family, the two young marshals who made great contributions to the settlement of tractors, also made huge profits: by supervising large-scale grain transactions, Huang Fengting was keenly aware of tractors, which can significantly increase the amount of arable land. It was also under his leadership that Fengtian No. 1 Diesel Engine Factory was successfully established. It was from this point that the Huang family became rich again.
“ Yu Aozhou represents the largest investor of Northeast Agricultural Bank of China. His profits are huge, you know.
Don’t be afraid of people’s selfish motives. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Zhang Hanqing would not ask others to have his kind of compassionate consciousness. He only hopes to follow his footsteps and make the country develop faster. It is also necessary to obtain appropriate benefits. Are you stupid if you don’t give benefits to your own people? If you want to secure your position and guide the country, you can't do it without strong power.
Don’t insist on the ideal of universal justice. The political books and facts of later generations tell us that the development of history has its own inherent trajectory. No matter how the country develops at this stage, there will always be one or several interest groups that control the lifeblood of the country. In later generations of the United States, there is so-called crony capitalism and a huge middle class; in later generations, after thirty years of reform and opening up, In China, there is also a small group of people who dominate the discourse of the country, society and public opinion. This situation will not change in the short term.
And now he can inherit the responsibilities of his father, just like his predecessor who inherited the Feng system in a pool of blood and was taken for granted by people at the time. But this situation will change. As the decentralized political system becomes more and more popular among the people, the kind of hereditary president who is the boss for ten thousand years is destined to be inconsistent with the times. Hasn’t the ruling party in future generations abolished the lifelong system of cadres? Even the country's top leader only serves two terms!
No one is willing to quit on his own, at least Zhang Hanqing is not such a person. Ideas need people to implement them, and ideals need people to pass them on. These need to be influential and long-lasting. In the era of capital, the most influential thing is to control capital, which gives you the right to speak, influence, and your own voice.
What’s more, living in troubled times now, you can’t even control your own destiny. The Feng Clan has only shown its rudimentary form, and I can only count as making a difference in the Feng Clan. Without my own strength, those grand plans can only be done on paper.
Therefore, he deeply regrets that his absolute support cannot be stronger. As long as you don't change your original intention, you will always have the opportunity to make corrections in the future or create a relatively fair world.
Let’s take a long-term view.
Therefore, he is optimistic about the tendency of wealth to be concentrated in the two families. Whether it is the Agricultural Bank of China or the Northeast Grain and Oil Company established privately by Huang Xianting, he has shares. It is more convenient to use money in one's own hands than in other people's hands, right? And the money is currently going the right way.
The Northeastern Autonomous Government, which has concentrated all the grain in Northeast China, sells grain in large quantities to the customs: Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Jinan, earning a lot of money. Relying on these methods, the Northeast New Deal received financial support, and the construction field began to expand to transportation and education, which were important and required long-term results.
In terms of railway transportation, Anfeng (?Dongfeng-Fengtian) and Pingqi (Siping-Qiqihar) Railway Co., Ltd. opened up the north and south of Fengtian and bypassed the North-Manchuria Railway to build a channel connecting Jilin and Heilongjiang to speed up the control of the power vacuum in northern Liaoning. . Since they were all built with government financial support and funded by the Tohoku Bank under government control, and did not borrow money from outside, the so-called priority borrowing rights of the Japanese were invalid.
In terms of water transportation, an inland water transportation system will be established with the Songhua River Basin as the center, and experts will be organized to plan water conservancy facilities in the basin. Several reservoirs will be built in this area to effectively irrigate farmland and reduce drought and floods. To this end, after a year-long investigation, the Water Conservancy Commission of the three northeastern provinces completed two very important development guidelines, the "Songhua River Basin Comprehensive Utilization Planning Report" and the "Songhua River Hydropower Plan Summary."
In terms of maritime transportation, Northeast China has begun to develop Huludao and build shipyards, cargo terminals and ship repair shops here. In the future, ships suitable for inland rivers and shallow seas will be built, laying the foundation for the development of China's shipbuilding industry.
The reason why he gave up the construction of the more important Yingkou Port was that it was too close to the Kanto Prefecture controlled by Japan, and Japan had a navy that was daunting to China at the time. Zhang Hanqing knew that it would be impossible to build a maritime navy comparable to Japan's in a short period of time. Instead of spending energy and money to benefit the Japanese, it is better to stay in Soviet Russia——Historically, the Soviet Union did not make further demands on Northeast China during the political period, which is much safer than Japan, which is ambitious and wants to perish—— Although they are essentially the same enemy as Japan - it can be seen from the official history that the Soviet Union plundered wildly before squeezing out of Northeast China.
In terms of finance, the tax system is unified and divided into opium tax (opium is still retained in extraordinary times, which is a major source of fiscal revenue), tobacco tax, agricultural tax, livestock tax, business tax, customs duty, and household registration tax. On the grounds that the industry is an investment by the local government, all income will go to the three eastern provinces. Because local land is "redeemed" by government borrowings, most of the tax revenue is allocated to local governments in the name of the government needing to "repay" interest, and national taxes only account for 9% of the taxes collected. Of course, it is this meager tax revenue that has supported the operation of the central government for a long time - the tax situation in many other places is extremely poor, and the local governments cannot make ends meet, so what can they give to the central government?

Chapter 354 A century-old plan, education is the foundation
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
As the Northeast became richer, Zhang Hanqing began to propose a seemingly ambitious plan: education.
His plan is to establish a more complete education system: the governments of the three northeastern provinces will introduce five-year compulsory education, and each township must have at least one primary school. At the same time, due to limited financial capacity, the number of academic years in ordinary universities and middle schools has been shortened, vocational skills schools have been widely established to train relevant vocational skills personnel; the focus is on preparations for the construction of more than 10 colleges and universities such as Northeastern University, Jilin University, and Harbin Institute of Technology, and Expand the scale of Northeast Normal University. In order to illustrate the continuity and difficulty of talent training, Zhang Hanqing also put forward the slogan "It takes ten years to cultivate trees, and a hundred years to cultivate people", which became a famous saying in the history of education in the twentieth century.
For the people in Fengtian who are used to seeing his endless fresh ideas, this is nothing more than another unexpected move by the young marshal. But for the senior officials of the Fengtian clique, especially the military, who hold heavy troops, it is still like a whirlwind.
Because if more funding is invested in education, the intensity spent on the military will inevitably pale in comparison. Many military commanders thought it would be better to take this opportunity to raise more troops so that they could freely express their voices. After all, education is a long-term process with slow results, which is far less meaningful than using these funds to buy guns.
We can't blame them for their poor vision, but for being limited by their thinking. They simply don't believe in the so-called "power of knowledge" and don't believe that incomprehensible mathematics and physics can be transformed into the guns and cannons they desperately need, even better than guns and cannons. All much more powerful. What they believe is that with the army, everything is possible.
Zhang Jinghui said to Zhang Zuolin: "I don't agree with the idea of ????the marshal. The marshal's education cannot be said to be wrong, but it is wrong at this time. Many of our troops don't even have decent cannons. How can they continue to do so?" Fight! My opinion is, if you want to build a university, just build some. After all, ordnance is needed. But forget about compulsory education? There is no reason to go to school for free! "
But Zhang Hanqing firmly said no.
From the history textbooks of previous lives, we know that from now until the end of the 1920s, China will have the greatest opportunity to develop. During this period, the entire world was generally war-weary, and the international peaceful atmosphere was extremely conducive to China. One less armed division will not have a major impact on the strength of the Fengcian faction, but investing in education can create a steady stream of potential for the great development of Northeast China. And through his efforts, the current Fengxian is much stronger than in the official history.
Since history entered modern times, there has been no modern industrial power that did not make its fortune through education. The literary revolution in Europe put the people of other countries on the fast track of development. Japan, just across the corner, became the first-class country in Asia because of the universalization of compulsory education.
Given China’s current national conditions, it is inherently difficult for people to use limited money to send their children to school. Reading has always been the exclusive preserve of the gentry in ancient times. A limited number of noble people from poor families cannot improve the overall quality of all citizens.
Zhang Hanqing firmly believed that knowledge can change destiny, and also recognized the later Taizong’s assertion that science and technology are the primary productive forces. If we want to rejuvenate the country with science and technology, without a large number of citizens who have received basic education, it will be difficult to occupy a place in this world of the jungle. The reason why China can become a manufacturing power in later generations is the contribution of generations of well-educated people (at least high school students), who support the sky of the Chinese Dream.
After traveling through time, Zhang Hanqing boldly recruited student soldiers in the Guard Brigade (Division) and trained a large number of student officers, which greatly changed the atmosphere of the army. Different from the temptation, deception, and forced conscription of "serving as soldiers and eating royal food" in other armies, the student officers of the Guards Division and the First Division all actively joined for the ideal of a strong China. This motivation determines the degree of hardship they endure in the army. , ideals of leading troops and loyalty, these are slowly but surely transformed into combat effectiveness. After passing the actual test of suppressing bandits, they handed over perfect answers, which even surprised Zhang Zuolin.
And the "cultural" people Zhang Hanqing recruited were no less useful than those brought to him by the army. Wang Yongjiang, Liu Shangqing, Mo Dehui, Wang Shuhan, Wu Jiaxiang, Zhang Huilin, Zhu Guangmu, Han Shuxiu were all appointed by Zhang Hanqing or personally discovered; Yang Wenkai, Yu Aozhou, Xue Guangsen were all his pillars based in the Northeast to counter the situation within the pass.
So when Zhang Hanqing talked to him about the need to build universities and technical colleges to reserve a large number of talents for the development of Northeast China, the father and son agreed. In fact, when it comes to the role of knowledge, the eldest brother Zhang Zuolin is not too conciliatory in his understanding of Zhang Hanqing, but is more radical.
Two years ago, Zhang Zuolin was only the commander of the small 27th Division in Fengtian City. He wrote a letter to the then President Yuan Shikai, pointing out the various shortcomings in Fengtian education, proposing rectification measures, and suggesting strengthening the management of the school. when it is,??On October 28, 1916, the mayors of all provinces were ordered to reiterate the provincial order, strictly instructing the county governors to increase education funding, requiring each county's annual education funding to account for 40% of the county's total annual expenditure, and this was The standards are one of the components of the performance test for each county governor. Two years later, in December, he once again reiterated this ratio, saying that "in the future, if the county governors still do not implement the implementation, they will be deemed to have abolished academic affairs and will be punished accordingly according to the local regulations on establishing schools and passing examinations."
In fact, he is not the only person who understands. Xie Yinchang, a celebrity in Fengtian education circles, strongly agreed with Zhang Hanqing's request. He has been engaged in education in Fengcheng for many years and won the trust of Zhang Zuolin. He was appointed as the first director of education of Feng Province. He has said many times: "In order to make the Northeast prosperous and strong and not invaded by outsiders, it is a top priority to establish universities to cultivate talents in all fields." Now that the financial situation has improved slightly, he hastened to agree.
In order to cultivate more talents, the cultivation of normal students is a top priority. On December 1, 1918, Fengtian National Higher Normal School was officially established. At the opening ceremony, Shi Jichang, director of the Fengtian Government Affairs Department, went to read Zhang Zuolin’s congratulatory message.
??To this day, students in normal colleges are free of tuition and receive monthly subsidies. But few people know that as early as Zhang Zuolin's period, Fengtian Normal School had waived tuition fees and provided food expenses. All these expenses were paid by the Fengtian Provincial Government. People often say, "There is no such thing as a free lunch." However, Fengtian Normal School not only provides three free meals, but the standard is also not low. For example, at Fengtian Provincial No. 1 Normal School, students’ breakfast consists of rice porridge and pickles; for lunch, rice, four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetarian dishes; for dinner, four dishes and one soup, all are vegetarian dishes. On Saturday lunch, the food was improved, including Tan Pork, Mushu Pork, Roasted Yellow Croaker, Braised Sea Cucumber, etc. There are also other schools such as Fengtian Higher Normal School, where the food is also very rich.
Most of the generals in the Fengjun army were grassroots bandits who had experienced life and death together with Zhang Zuolin. It was easy to fight, but difficult to study. How did they know Zhang Zuolin's ambition? Youdao is about conquering the world and governing the country through martial arts. In Zhang Zuolin's view, he didn't have many capable civil servants under his command, and he would be nothing more than a grass-headed king throughout his life.
As a great warlord who conquered the world by force, it is really impressive that he can allocate a large amount of money from the money to buy guns for education. Although Zhang Hanqing contributed the most, Zhang Zuolin still understood some of the relationship between education and the national economy and people's livelihood. This may be one of the reasons why Fengjun became stronger under his leadership.
In fact, the reason why Zhang Hanqing proposed this idea still has an economic basis. Relying on the sale of surplus grain and the integration of various funds, the Feng clan completed primitive industrial accumulation. In addition, the economic foundation of the Northeast is indeed the best in the country, with a vast territory and rich mineral resources. Before, it was like sitting on a golden mountain and doing nothing. Now, once it breaks out, it will become an amazing force.
“And Zhang Hanqing knows very well that from now until a long time into the future, the general trend of the entire world will be towards peace. As the First World War came to an end, the European and American powers, which had recovered from their fatigue, re-intensified their attention to China, posing considerable challenges to Japan's ambition to monopolize China. This is the reason why he dares to invest large sums of money into industrialization and education, which are slow to produce results. Although there are also bullying and insults, it at least buys him time, right?
The most lacking thing now is time. Ancient China is gradually rejuvenating in the Northeast, and it is happening subtly but actually. At the beginning of 1919, the Fengtian government's fiscal surplus reached 150 million (silver) dollars, achieving an unprecedented good year. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 355: Outline of Fengjun Army Building
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
"The Outline of the Founding of the Fengjun Army", a military work that was later regarded as a guide by the People's Party and also known as Zhang Hanqing's military thought, mainly absorbed a series of achievements of the great Mao throughout his life, and also drew on the system formed by the Kuomintang. It is divided into:
The army implements the "three-three system" principle at the regiment level and below. This is inspired by Mao Zedong's famous "Three Bays Adaptation". After all, triangles are stable. After the reorganization, all the main forces of the Fengjun Army were organized at the division level. The division had two infantry brigades and division-affiliated artillery regiments, cavalry regiments, engineer battalions, reconnaissance battalions, communications battalions, supply battalions, and special agent companies.
Each infantry battalion has three infantry companies (with 9 light machine guns), 1 heavy machine gun company (with 6 heavy machine guns), and 1 infantry artillery platoon (with 2 infantry guns).
In addition to three infantry battalions, each regiment also has a small artillery company and a communications platoon. Of course, artillery cannot do this at this stage, but everyone must work hard to achieve this in order to form the firepower advantage of the same division of the Fengjun Army over a division of the Beiyang Army in Guan Nei.
In this way, the total number of reorganizers reached 14,000. In order to unify the organization, the artillery regiments and cavalry regiments under each division will be reorganized into the same numbers as the divisions. For example, the artillery regiment of the 27th Division is assigned the 27th Artillery Regiment, and the cavalry regiment of the 28th Division is the Cavalry. 28 groups…
If necessary in the future, it can be very easy to change the system of two brigades and four regiments into the system of two brigades and six regiments, and the extra regiment in each brigade will be new recruits; if it needs to be expanded, it will also be easy. On this basis, each brigade will When an old regiment is brought out to lead the new with the old, it can easily be transformed into a system of three brigades and nine regiments. Future officers will be seeded with officers at all levels from Fengjun's existing six divisions.
Does the Guards Division need to be given a number? No need, the Guard Division itself is a designation.
As a garrison-level security brigade, it has implemented the "three-three system" from the beginning. The brigade has direct jurisdiction over artillery battalions, cavalry battalions, etc., but the artillery here is also virtual. Like the artillery unit that lacks mountain artillery, the establishment and manpower have been planned, and each unit is given one or two cannons for daily training. In Zhang Hanqing’s words, “people wait for equipment, rather than equipment waiting for people.” The Shenyang Arsenal cannot make cannons now, but it will definitely be able to in the future.
An important achievement of the "Fengjun Army Building Outline" is the implementation of the chief of staff system, which was fully implemented by Zhang Zuolin.
??Previously, Zhang Hanqing spared no effort to promote the status of chief of staff, mainly to pave the way for Zhang Zuoxiang, then chief of staff. He just instinctively felt that the system of one division and two brigades had certain risks for division commanders to control the army, and it had not yet risen to the level of establishing modern military doctrine. His initial implementation of the duties of chief, deputy brigade chief of staff and regimental commander in the Guards Brigade was just a preview to enhance the status of chief of staff. Strictly speaking, the standard ranking order should be regimental commander and brigade chief of staff rather than the other way around. . As for the deputy brigade commander, chief of staff and regimental commander, they are a joke in other armies.
From the Beiyang period to the National Government period, the responsibilities of the Chief of Staff were as general as ever. For example, in the "Regulations on the Responsibilities of Division Headquarters Personnel" of the Qing Imperial Guard in 1911, the duties of the chief of staff are as follows: "The staff officer assists in control and planning of aircraft maintenance." In 1933, the National Revolutionary Army's "Organizational Regulations of the Army Infantry Division Headquarters" "", there is still only one sentence about the chief of staff's responsibilities: "Assist the division commander to participate in confidential planning, and guide all affairs within the department." During the Eighth Department period of the old army, the chief of staff mainly played the role of military assistant to the commander of the unit or guest. His duty is only to assist the commander in handling all military affairs, and he is not responsible for specific business organizations.
So in this era, if the chief of staff of an army is transferred to the brigade commander of a certain brigade, he will definitely have to host a few banquets, because it means that he has been reused. In other words, in most cases, although the military chief of staff is slightly equal to the brigade commander in rank, his status is obviously lower than that of the brigade commander. And if the chief of staff of a certain army becomes a division commander, he will laugh out loud even in his dreams, but such a beautiful thing can only exist in dreams, because it is difficult to find such examples in the old army. In other words, the chief of staff of the army is far lower than the division commander of the division to which he belongs, both in terms of class and status.
This can also be understood why Zhang Zuolin always felt sorry for Zhang Zuoxiang when he was transferred from the commander of the 27th Division Artillery Regiment to the chief of staff of the division and chief of staff of the Military Governor's Office.
Historically, after the Kuomintang transplanted the staff system of the US military during the War of Liberation, the chief of staff was stipulated to be the main assistant to the commander of the unit. The combat orders of the unit commander must be countersigned by the chief of staff before they can take effect. The status of the chief of staff is undoubtedly determined from the perspective of regulations. Enhancement and protection. But most of this was a piece of paper, and this system basically failed to be implemented until the national army was defeated and fled Taiwan.
Zhang Hanqing decided to implement changes in advance. During his time in the Guards Brigade, he had already put aside operations such as combat and reconnaissance.??The staff subordinates, and elevated the chief of staff to the status of the head of the army. Because the Guards Brigade Military Order and Regulations stipulate that the brigade commander, brigade chief of staff, and director of the brigade political department collectively decide on major military affairs. Later, it was upgraded to the Guards Division and the 1st Division was expanded. This regulation was also followed.
After Zhang Zuolin served as the patrol envoy to the three eastern provinces, he had a lot of military governors and division commanders under his command. How to effectively control the swelling army immediately became a life-and-death issue. Complete control of each unit means that the energy is completely insufficient; but out-of-control warlords and division commanders can easily become entrenched in their own territory, and power control cannot rely entirely on loyalty. Zhang Zuolin himself was a warlord, but he didn't want new warlords to appear under his control.
At this time, Zhang Hanqing's chief of staff system effectively restricted the power of the governors of each province, because the military orders of the governors required the counter-signature of the chief of staff of the governor's office. The chiefs of staff of each military governor's office were appointed by Zhang Zuolin, and were under the direct command of the chief of general staff of the patrol mission Similarly, the division commanders of each division and the brigade commanders of the mixed brigades were also restricted by the chiefs of staff at the same level, and these The chief of staff also reports to the chief of staff of the Military Governor's Office on business matters There are more constraints, and there are fewer disturbing thoughts.
Another achievement of the "Fengjun Outline for Building the Army" is the improvement of military discipline.
In the history of the Republic of China, in terms of military discipline, the Kuomintang's party army was the best, followed by Feng Yuxiang's Shaanxi Army, Wu Peifu's Direct Army was also good, but the Fengjun Army's discipline was the worst (of course, the armies led by Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling were exceptions) . Therefore, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is not surprising that the Fengtian faction, which had superior numbers and equipment, was at a disadvantage during the two Zhizhi-Fengtian wars (of course, Wu Peifu lost the second Zhi-Fengtian war in official history with a shot in the back of Feng Yuxiang, otherwise Whether Fengjun can win or not remains to be seen).
Zhang Zuolin himself still wanted the army to look like an army, and he strongly opposed disturbing the people. However, since the main source of upper-level, middle-level and lower-level officers in the Fengjun army were horse bandits, the quality of the soldiers was also uneven, and it was necessary to achieve the ideal The "civilized teacher" is basically hopeless. But with Zhang Hanqing here, everything is different. The feedback of the "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" implemented by the Guard Division and the First Division is quite good, and has been praised both internally and externally in practice.
Zhang Zuolin did not avoid relatives during internal promotions and ordered the entire army to execute them. Since the popularization of these regulations, Fengjun officers and soldiers have understood that they are the army of the Northeast people, and it is the duty of soldiers to protect their homes and country. It not only initially solves the question of "who are fighting for" among soldiers, but also establishes a positive image of soldiers in society. When the morale of soldiers increases, their combat effectiveness will naturally not be bad.
The control of the Guard Division and the First Division was Zhang Hanqing's ban. Of course, mature revisions began to be carried out. From top to bottom, he began to describe the principle of unconditional submission of soldiers to politics - this later evolved into "insisting the party's absolute control over the army". Leadership", later Zhang Hanqing simplified it to "insisting that the party commands the gun, rather than the gun commanding the party."
It’s time to give the military a clear name. With a unified establishment, each unit cannot be allowed to work independently, and it is also necessary to establish a commander-in-chief awareness in the entire army. Zhang Zuolin accepted Zhang Hanqing's proposal to integrate the armies of the three eastern provinces and call it Fengjun.
There is no distinction between the provincial defense force, the security force, and the road protection force. We are all serving the army.
Naturally, Zhang Zuolin is the well-deserved commander-in-chief of the Fengjun Army. Under the headquarters, there are eight departments, including the chief of staff and secretary, staff officer, adjutant, government affairs, education, ordnance, military medicine, and military law. The system of "military orders" and "training orders" was improved, and all soldiers were controlled by Zhang Zuolin. Wu Junsheng and Sun Liechen are deputy commanders, Zhang Zuoxiang is chief of general staff, and Zhang Hanqing is deputy chief of general staff and chief of staff. In order to reduce differences in military orders and personnel confusion, the patrol mission and the Fengjun General Headquarters implemented two sets of teams and one set of personnel.
Wu Junsheng worked hard to exterminate the Pakistani bandits and the battle of Huzi, and took the blame for Zhang Hanqing. He also made great contributions to Zhang Zuolin's capture of Heilongjiang, and he obeyed the orders of Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing. Due to all the previous contributions and the contributions of these two "blacks", as one of the founders of the old Feng Army (the three ace divisions of the 27th Division, 28th Division, and 29th Division), he was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Fengjun Army. This also established Wu Junsheng's status as a veteran of the Feng Dynasty.
Not to mention Sun Liechen, he was completely the spokesperson of Zhang Zuolin; Zhang Zuoxiang rose to the top due to the promotion of his status as chief of staff, and together with Wu and Sun formed the troika of the Fengxian.
Zhang Hanqing also officially rose to the highest level of power in the Fengtian clique due to his position as the General Counselor of the Inspecting Mission. In addition, his status as the "supervisor" of the Northeast Lecture Hall and the deputy chief of staff of the Fengjun Army also added a lot of color to him. Of course, what makes him equal to the Troika and become an independent pole is the fact that he is the chairman of the Kuomintang and has complete control over the two divisions.
Due to the improvement in finance, the salary of military personnel can be significantly improved. In addition to receiving allowances, soldiers can also receive 10 acres of tax-free land in their place of origin during their enlistment, which greatly boosts morale. The equipment was also replaced by cannon. By the end of 1918, the 27th, 28th, and 29th divisions were all equipped with division-affiliated artillery regiments with unified standards. The Guards Division, the 16th Division, and the 1st Division were all equipped with division-affiliated artillery battalions. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The division-affiliated artillery regiment has a unified standard.

Chapter 356 Zhang Hanqing’s Troubles
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The military's training has become modernized and standardized, combined with the knowledge-based approach proposed by Zhang Hanqing. Fengjun's progress has been astonishing, and a series of structures have become more complete. The credit for this is due to Fengjun's own efforts, but more thanks to Zhang Hanqing's lobbying. Former senior advisers to the German Army Staff hired by Zhang Zuolin.
It is necessary to introduce the origin of this group of consultants. Germany was defeated in World War I. According to the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, it could only have an army of 100,000 people. A large number of professional soldiers were forced to leave the army. These people who knew nothing about other fields of knowledge and technology except military knowledge Soldiers have become famous teachers that all countries (especially countries with relatively backward military fields) compete to hire.
However, the Treaty of Versailles clearly stipulates that German citizens are not allowed to serve as military advisors in foreign armies. The German military hopes that they will serve as military advisors in foreign countries so that these retired personnel can take advantage of the opportunity to serve in foreign armies and acquire the latest military developments. Knowledge and technology prevent the German army from experiencing gaps in military academics, and it also contains the hope that these personnel can continue to serve in the German army after returning to the country. Therefore, the German military provides these personnel with the opportunity to serve as military consultants abroad. It is secretly encouraged and supported.
??And Zhang Zuolin’s Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government, represented by Zhang Hanqing, began to contact the German military as early as 1918 before taking control of Northeast China. The reason why Germany chose the Fengtian faction was because Japan seized all of Germany's interests in Shandong, China during World War I and was resentful about it. The Northeastern Marshal did not seem to have a harmonious relationship with Japan (Zhang Hanqing: More than harmonious, I wish I could kill all the Japanese in China) with great enthusiasm and agreed in principle to send military advisers to Northeast China.
Initially, the list of consultants proposed by Zhang Hanqing included a group of people who were famous in World War I, such as von Mackensen and Ludendorff. However, the German military believed that these people had too famous names and were easy to be discovered, so they declined politely.
The first batch of German military advisers to come to China were Colonel Max Bauer, Lieutenant Stutzner and Second Lieutenant Hommel, which opened the honeymoon journey of Sino-German military cooperation. Although Max Bauer is unknown, he once served in the German General Staff and won the appreciation of Chief of General Staff Ludendorff for his outstanding military talents.
As a result, Sino-German military cooperation reached a climax. Not only did the two sides sign the "Five-Year Military Industrial Development Plan," but Germany also began to help the Northeastern United Provinces Autonomous Government establish a military industry. Fengjun provided military equipment, and in assisting the reorganization and construction of the Northeast Army, submitted the "Army Reform Proposal", proposing to complete all 10 reorganization divisions (including 4 planned new expansion divisions) in batches and phases with limited material and financial resources. ) training.
During the process of reorganizing the army, Falkenhaus, who was the first head of the German Military Advisory Group at the time, made suggestions for the plan. Under the training of German military advisers, the goal of each division of the Fengjun Army is to become a force that is not inferior to the Kwantung Army Army Division in terms of combat skills, numbers, and strength in the Far East.
This is a good thing. Zhang Zuoxiang and Wu Junsheng have become one of the troika of the Feng clan. Their concurrent positions as division commanders should be changed, right? Together with the four new divisions, at least six lieutenant general and division commander positions will be freed up. For soldiers, there is nothing more exciting than promotion and rank, especially for the brigade commanders of several mixed brigades. Many people have the opportunity to be promoted.
However, for Zhang Hanqing, while he was happy with the expansion of the Fengjun Army, he was also a little disappointed because there was a high probability that he could only watch as these division commanders' positions were taken over by others. Originally, he wanted to recommend several senior members of the People's Party to compete for these positions, such as the powerful Ji Yiqiao and the silently dedicated Lin Wei It is his responsibility, and also the People's Party's, to push them to the forefront as much as possible. Opportunities to grow.
But he could only give up.
Because as the land reform in Northeast China deepens, some of his policies will inevitably conflict with many people. An important direction of land reform is to combat land annexation, which at least affects the interests of Wu Junsheng, Ma Longtan, Zhang Jinghui and others. Although Zhang Zuolin once said openly that there are many ways to make money, there is no need to tell the truth. The above-mentioned big bosses also wisely decided to cooperate with the young marshal's work, but after all, they are blocking people's way of making money, right?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Just because of their friendship, they can’t stand the chance, doesn’t mean that other people don’t have ideas. The phenomenon of land annexation is very serious in Northeast China. If the land of vested interests is to be "rented" to farmers, there will inevitably be some resistance. If Zhang Hanqing hadn't wisely used "redemption" rather than "revolution" to proceed in a tortuous manner, his first step would not have worked.
Revolution requires a gun
Although Zhang Hanqing has marshal, deputy chief of general staff of Fengjun, general counselor of the patrol mission, and former director of the Border Defense and Appeasement Office, commander-in-chief of the Middle East Road Protection Army, and deputy director-general of bandit suppression.He was waiting for a series of dazzling halos, but he knew that there was only one that really mattered: the chairman of the People's Party's Military Committee. Without him, he had the Guards Division and the First Division to back him up. Without these two, he is just a young commander, respected, but not necessarily respected.
Therefore, his focus on these two armies is certain. His two divisions are also self-contained, and the people he uses are all his own. Even the organizational structure is different from that of the Fengjun General Headquarters: Fengjun The military headquarters has one chief and eight divisions, and his troops have a three-headquarters structure.
This is not a problem, but when his power has exceeded that of several elders who started in the Feng Dynasty, voices of dissatisfaction began to appear.
"Why do you want to interfere in the new division? You already have a lot of power!" This is the hostility he can feel. Also, there is only such a big pool in the Northeast. If his body is too big, he will inevitably crowd in others. Frankly speaking, the treatment Zhang Zuolin gave him was already high enough. Even Zhang Zuoxiang knows that unity is the way to achieve greatness. If he, the eldest son, does not understand this truth, he will be too unworthy of a son.
According to his proposal, with the exception of his part-time job as the General Counselor of the Touring Envoys of the three eastern provinces, the general counselors of the Provincial Governor-General's Office are all appointed by civilian officials. Therefore, Ding Chao, the former Chief Counselor of the Heilongjiang Province Governor-General's Office, has been transferred to the military and replaced by Zhai. Wenxuan took over. This Zhai Wenxuan is the former governor of Heilongjiang Province who served for the shortest time. Although his ability as a provincial governor is limited, he is still quite qualified as the chief of staff of the Military Governor's Office. After all, his previous position as director of the police department had some militaristic overtones - of course, this is Zhang Hanqing's evaluation. After all, Zhai Wenxuan had been recommended by him. As a political "bole", continuing to let him use his residual enthusiasm in his new position would also have the effect of "selling horse bones", wouldn't it?
Ding Chao will be promoted to division commander as expected. Zhang Hanqing had reserved the position of general counselor for him not long ago, and he owed Zhang Hanqing's favor from then on. Now that he has a better position and no one of his own has taken the position, appointing Ding Chao is not a sign of merit. Besides, he has sufficient qualifications. Moreover, in order for Sun Liechen to secure his position as the Governor of the Black Province, he still had to be nominated for some important positions such as General Counselor and Secretary General of the Governor's Office. His departure will be beneficial to both Zhang Hanqing and Sun Liechen;
Yu Zhen is also an old employee, and she once paved the way for Zhang Hanqing with a wink, so Zhang Zuolin will definitely consider taking care of her;
?? Wu Jun has served Zhang Zuolin for so long, both before and after his promotion. He has deigned to be a division commander for a long time. After his promotion, he will definitely be given a quota to balance the feelings of his subordinates. I guess his father will be embarrassed too? So no matter what, he will have a spot;
The last one should be given to Sun Liechen. As his father's staunch assistant, except for the First Division, the only remaining force in his army was the fully-organized Black Province Border Guards. It was not good for him to be as bare-bones as Bao Guiqing.
So basically, Zhang Hanqing did not fight for the four newly appointed positions for new editors.
The current fengxian system has formed a pattern in which Zhang Zuolin is the main leader, Wu Junsheng, Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang are supplemented, and Bao Guiqing is named. The finances of the Northeast have reached their maximum manpower to support ten divisions. At this initial stage, Zhang Hanqing would not do anything so aggressive as to be militaristic. Therefore, it is difficult to expand further.
The food appearance should not be too ugly, and the interests of the father should also be taken into consideration.
“As for administration, his biggest administrative position in Northeast China is still general counselor. The personnel who control each province are considered outstanding talents in the three eastern provinces, but there is still a gap between Zhang Hanqing's employment methods, because he only wants the People's Party to assume a leadership position. At present, it seems that this is difficult to do.
Fortunately, the land reform finally continued with his insistence. After the bandit rebellion, Zhang Zuolin saw the huge role of land in maintaining stability, and already made great efforts to support Zhang Hanqing, forcing the bosses and a group of vested interests to transform. Being mainly dependent on Zhang Zuolin, there were no surprises in this regard.
It seems that there is little point in staying in the Northeast. In this chaotic world, there is still a large area that can be developed. The Red Army still has a long march of 25,000 miles, and relying on this corner of the Northeast is not a good strategy. After thinking for a long time, Zhang Hanqing believed that he needed to broaden his horizons and be able to be willing to let go - leaving the Northeast to his father and the others.
Of course, letting go does not mean abandoning the achievements once, it just means that he has to put his energy into a broader world. Every step in the future requires strong support from the Northeast. After all, looking at the entire country, there are few places that can play the role of the Northeast in the economy and industry. Before further movements are determined, he needs to properly arrange the remaining personnel. We must not only maintain the current development momentum, but also firmly control it in our own hands. In this era, transportation is inconvenient and information is not smooth. It would be tragic if someone took over after you left.
There is a more important one. As expected, Northeast China will eventually confront the Japanese head-to-head. This is determined by the aggressive nature of the Japanese government and has been proven by history. If he bets his treasure here, if a big change occurs, he will lose all his money, although he has always believed that with him here, such an extreme situation will not happen. However, to prepare for a rainy day, we also need to start anew and echo each other.

Although in Zhang Hanqing's view, the future of the Fengclan still has a long way to go, but in his understanding of Zhang Zuolin and other Fengclan veterans, their military force has undergone earth-shaking changes. The strength of 6 integrated divisions, including the company guard division, 9 mixed brigades and no less than 10 divisions, if armed, will be a presence that no central boss can ignore at this stage.
In terms of vital weapons, Fengjun has made a qualitative breakthrough. The current Northeast Arsenal was originally just the repair shop of the 27th Division. Later, as Zhang Zuolin's power expanded, he purchased some machines in Japan and turned it into a small arsenal. After Zhang Hanqing crossed over, he began to expand the scale and projects in an organized manner, and was able to repair all Fengjun equipment and produce a small amount of new rifles.
Later, through a huge loan from the Hua-Russian Bank and the purchase of several batches of artillery shell production machines, the Shenyang Arsenal already had the capacity to produce 100,000 artillery shells per month. Just because of the relationship between demand and energy, 11% of the production capacity is not currently produced.
In terms of light weapons, we have achieved unified weapons standards, and plan to set up an armory in the division organization to be responsible for the maintenance and repair of weapons. However, because this requires the separation of some equipment from the limited resources of the Shenyang Arsenal, Zhang Hanqing expressed cautious appreciation.
Since the lack of artillery restricted the allocation of heavy firepower in each division, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing unanimously set their sights on purchasing machinery. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish. If you can produce your own food, it will save money and be safe. To support such a large army and not be able to control important military supplies in one's own hands, nothing can be considered a success.
“To expand this factory to a scale capable of producing cannons, it is estimated that approximately 500,000 yuan will be needed to purchase machinery. Because of the large investment in education, money is still relatively tight. Fortunately, Zhang Zuolin has been suppressing the urge to expand the army, so he does not invest limited money into the bottomless pit of feeding soldiers.
At this time, Colonel Max told a very important news: Germany was unable to produce weapons due to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles after its defeat, so it had dismantled the machines of Krupp and other arsenals for sale, and was entrusting the Netherlands to place a bid in Shanghai. Sell.
Zhang Zuolin was overjoyed when he saw the report, and immediately sent Yang Wenkai, the general manager of the arsenal, and Han Linchun, the previous general manager, to Shanghai to remit 500,000 yuan from Northeast Bank to award the purchase. Han Linchun is an expert in manufacturing rifles and has a certain understanding of artillery manufacturing. He has been in the army for several years and knows the needs of the army best. Coupled with Yang Wenkai, who also has a background in ordnance manufacturing and is also a factory manager, the two should work well together.
Before leaving, Zhang Hanqing pulled Han Linchun over, handed him a check worth 20,000 yuan, and said, "Old Han, I'm going to Shanghai. I need you to do something big."
The young marshal was so solemn that Han Linchun quickly took it and listened attentively. With Zhang Hanqing's steady political and military achievements, Han Linchun respected this terrifyingly young marshal more and more.
"When you go to Shanghai, buying equipment is one thing, but what's more important is hiring someone for me."
"Inviting someone?" Han Linchun was confused for a while. Who is it that deserves such attention from the young commander? The price is 10,000 yuan! With his current status as a political figure in Beijing, he can speak at any time.
Seemingly understanding his question, Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "Yes, I have many responsibilities now, including party affairs, government affairs, and military affairs. It's overwhelming. You know, although we only have two divisions, but I have always regarded it as a seed, and I have more than just these tens of thousands of people in my mind! In the future, there will be more people, and people will be needed for logistics, war command, and political training. I will leave the military aspect to you. and Lao Guo; in terms of staff, there is Lin Wei; in terms of training, there is Lao Ji; in terms of political work, there are Jiang Dengxuan and Wang Yizhe; in terms of logistics, there is Lao Mi taking care of me. I can rest assured that you have always done a good job. .
But the military has always served politics. Our People’s Party has a very shallow foundation in the Northeast and has been unable to make administrative breakthroughs. There are various reasons here that I won’t go into. In terms of party affairs, Jiang Dengxuan is also the Organization Minister, and Wang Yizhe is also the Secretary of the Heilongjiang Province. Although they are very effective in their work, their military positions are still their main occupation after all. They all have multiple jobs. Over time, it is inevitable that they will not be able to take care of them properly. Zhu Guangmu served as my deputy chief and propaganda director. Although he was quite satisfactory, he rarely made any breakthroughs in publicity just because he was quite satisfactory.
With the breakthrough increase in the number of members of the People's Party, I gradually feel that something has not been done well. Because no matter when I hold a small meeting of the Central Committee members or when I announce the party's policies, what I put forward is mostly programmatic and less filler - I really don't have time, so you need to do it yourself. comprehend. The other members of the Central Committee are all half-talkers.At home, theoretical knowledge is pitifully poor. In addition, when it comes to external affairs, when contact and negotiation are needed, I am the one doing the talking and writing, which is very hard work.
Only then did I realize my shortcomings.
So after thinking about it, I think I need a main writer. He can serve as the party's mouthpiece when dealing with the outside world, and he can enrich the party's theory in peacetime I have already thought of this person. "
Han Linchun was in awe of someone who could make the young commander care about and fancy him so much. It seems that this person is currently in Shanghai, otherwise the young marshal would not entrust him with it at this time.
"If nothing goes wrong, he should be in Shanghai currently, serving as the editor-in-chief of a newspaper. When you go there this time, you are solemnly inviting him to go north on my behalf. I will cover all the expenses for raising a family, and I will also include this ten thousand yuan as a meeting gift."
Han Linchun knew the weight of this person, and he held the check tightly: "Young Marshal, who is this person?"
Zhang Hanqing pondered for a moment, but what he said shocked Han Linchun: "I'm not sure. His name is Chen Brai, or is it a pen name? Anyway, he should be an editor at a newspaper in Shanghai or something like that. You can check carefully, or Please ask Wang Jiuguang from Shanghai to help you investigate - I had a relationship with him in Beijing a few years ago, he will definitely help you."
Han Linchun really doesn’t know who Chen Buili is. It's not his fault. This man is famous because of his suicide and his unparalleled glory, which happened more than ten years after Han Linchun's death in official history. In this era, his name and position are neither prominent nor prominent. Without Chiang Kai-shek, it would be difficult to say that he existed.
Even Zhang Hanqing is not familiar with it. He has never read any anthology of Chen Brai's works. The only thing he knows is Chiang Kai-shek's famous Anti-Japanese War speech: "If the war breaks out, there will be no distinction between north and south, and no distinction between people, old and young." "Everyone has the responsibility to defend the country and fight the war" was written by him.
But being able to be trusted by the suspicious old Chiang Kai-shek who has held a high position for decades, and who has never slandered or slandered him in the faction-ridden Kuomintang, somewhat illustrates this person's ability. In the movie "Armageddon", there are so many characters who can still trust him. His death is highlighted solemnly, and it also alludes to the downfall of the Jiang family dynasty, which shows the high status and great significance of this person.
Now Han Linchun seems to have gotten a hot potato. What's going on? For such a high-level employer, I can't even get the name or the occupation for sure. Fortunately, the scope has been chosen in Shanghai. Otherwise, where would I find this person in the huge sea of ??people? The young marshal was so unpredictable in hiring people that he couldn't help but ask: "Who is this person?"
What answered him was the young marshal's mysterious smile: "a friend." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

According to the opinions of the Arsenal Supervisory Committee, this trip to Shanghai will mainly purchase machinery for the production of mortars and howitzers.
Time is quietly changing the status quo. The mountain artillery, field artillery and other heavy artillery originally belonging to the artillery regiment of the division were originally a weakness of the Feng system. Especially after the division was expanded to 10 divisions, it could not be made up for.
But the first time Fengtian Arsenal expanded, it became wealthy because it received a "free" loan of 5 million from Russia and Mao. Of course, due to limited conditions, Zhang Hanqing did not invest all in the arsenal, but did his best to bring together related supporting companies. It may be exciting to produce all guns and artillery, but it lacks stamina and is not conducive to the sustainable development of armaments. What Zhang Hanqing means is that Fengtian Arsenal mainly has excellent strength and is not suitable for running volume at present. Therefore, most of the military industry capabilities are tilted towards civilian use. For example, the arsenal has made great efforts to prepare for the establishment of the Fengtian Tractor Factory.
The reason why the United States is strong in later generations is not just because of its developed military industry, but also its extremely strong ability to convert civilian use into military use at any time, and its civilian use has always been ahead of the world. In this way, integrating the military with the people is the right way.
Despite this, with this huge sum of money, Fengtian Arsenal already has the ability to produce 150 cannons per year. In another two years, it will be no problem to form an artillery unit with fully equipped equipment.
So Zhang Hanqing thought of more advanced weapons, mortars and howitzers.
China’s traffic situation is a mess, and it is slightly better in the northeast. When it comes to the pass, especially in mountainous areas such as the northwest, the role of heavy artillery is far less practical than the more portable mortar. The key is that its cost is extremely low and it is easy to imitate.
While the Fengjun still couldn't get enough of the so-called heavy artillery, the West had basically eliminated the development and production of its 75mm light cannon, and instead focused on equipping it with more powerful and longer-range 125mm and 155mm howitzers or cannons. If China wants to catch up, it has a long way to go. It's not enough to follow others all the time. You have to cut corners. Therefore, for cannons of similar caliber, you need to start in advance.
This is the main purpose of Han Linchun and Yang Wenkai's trip.
At this time, the great powers were restricting the purchase of arms from China. The Arms Ban Agreement implemented against China in 1915 basically blocked the way to purchase spot goods. This was also an opportunity for independent development. For such a big country, it can't all rely on buying, right?
In a foreign market ten miles away from Shanghai, two country bumpkins looked lost as if they were visiting the city for the first time. Trams and cars are only owned by very few people in Fengtian City, and they seem to be endless here; skyscrapers are almost invisible in Fengtian, and they are lined up here. In terms of prosperity and luxury, few places can compare with it.
In order to increase the weight of the negotiation, according to Zhang Zuolin's request, they stayed in a luxury hotel. After settling down, the two of them split up: Yang Wenkai went to inquire about the auction first, while Han Linchun went to find someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Chen Brai.
“I am unfamiliar with the place, my accent is incompatible with this place, and I came out of a big hotel, so I will inevitably be stared at. Han Linchun was a soldier and was very good on the battlefield, but when it came to fighting against Crooked Menxidao, he was still far from it.
A rickshaw ran up to him and greeted him enthusiastically: "Get on the rickshaw, the road is close and free." Han Linchun didn't know the route, so he moved and said to the driver: "Go to the nearest newspaper." Although he didn't know which newspaper Chen Brai worked as an editor, but since he was a colleague, he probably had some reputation in the industry, just like himself. It was like having a certain status in the military community.
He was right. He followed the rickshaw driver and wandered here and there for a while before getting lost in the streets. At first I didn't care, but as the road became more and more bumpy and the environment became more and more remote, I gradually became suspicious and said hurriedly: "Coachman, where are you taking me?"
The coachman chuckled and said in his muddy Mandarin unique to the south: "We're almost there, I'm taking a shortcut."
But the shortcut is not deserted, it is obviously on the outskirts of the city. It's true that Han Linchun didn't know the way, but he was not stupid and knew that he had met a bad person. He touched his body, and there was a check of ten thousand dollars given to him by the young marshal, which he cashed immediately. Fortunately, the check for the arms purchase was deposited in the hotel, otherwise I would have been panicked.
Even now I feel a little panicked. We have seen many strong winds and waves. It would be a joke if the boat capsized in this gutter. Because he had to reverse the train, he didn't bring any guns. In this way, the difference between a lieutenant general and a division commander and an ordinary person was not so obvious.
He shouted, "Stop!" Then he jumped down from the car. Thanks to his many years of military career, although he has gained weight, he is still quite strong.
Someone next to me laughed and said, "You're very skilled, brother. You can tell he's a Lianjiazi at a glance. But when we get to Shanghai, it's you Long."You have to be coiled up for me. If it’s a tiger, you have to lie down for me. If you are wise, please pay some money to avoid disaster! "With this sound, a group of men wearing short jackets came out menacingly. The person who spoke had an ax stuck in his waist.
As soon as Han Linchun heard these strange words, he knew he had met someone on the road. In Shanghai, either the Qing Gang or the Hong Gang are not easy to mess with. I've heard people say that ordinary lackeys may be their people, and every corner of this city is controlled by them.
Since they dare to sacrifice themselves, it means that this place is absolutely safe for them, maybe it is their home base. After thinking about it, I still dare not act rashly. If it's one on one, or even one on three or five, he dares to do it. But the other party is a bunch of people! If you die here without knowing anything, that would be truly irresponsible.
He smiled and said: "I don't know which cousin he is? My brother came to Shanghai on business under the orders of Marshal Zhang Zuolin, the patrol envoy of the three provinces in the East and the governor of Fengtian. If you are willing to reward me, I will be your host today. Please give me a favor. We’ve made friends!” No matter who the other party is, reveal your identity first. Thinking that since you are an official and the other person is a thief, you will be able to save some face. When you are in an unfamiliar place, your priority is not to cause trouble.
That long list of titles really frightened the other party. The group gathered together in a low voice for a while, and then one person said: "What is Marshal Zhang? I don't know him. He is his commander in the Northeast, but he can't control us! Are you using your name to scare us?"
?? Han Linchun knew that a current official is not as good as a current manager. He was alone, even if the other party tricked him, it would be useless for the Emperor to be his backer! At this time, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Hanqing asked him to ask a Shanghainese named Wang Jiuguang to find someone. With the young marshal's extensive connections, would the person he entrusted with his job have some dignity?
He said with the attitude of treating a dead horse as a live doctor: "Brother, I have a friend named Wang Jiuguang, do you know him?" If the other party ignores him, then he will run away, and he has already chosen an escape route. It is estimated that based on the results of his long years of training in the military, and because he was not avenged for killing his father, he would not pursue him so fiercely. Although it is not in good taste to spread the news about a lieutenant general and commander, it is better than suffering an immediate loss.
The other party was stunned: "Who is Wang Jiuguang?"
Han Linchun sighed, and then took a deep breath. In this state, I can run 800 meters without losing breath. Just when he was about to run away, the other party suddenly shouted, "Do you know Master Jiu?"
Han Linchun almost held back his breath, he didn't want to play like this. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

What happened next made Han Linchunru in his dream. After receiving the affirmative answer, the attitude of this group of people changed drastically. He briefly explained the situation of being entrusted to see Wang Jiuguang, and the other party said readily: "No problem, I will send you to see our Jiuye right away."
The relationship became closer, and Han Linchun felt relieved. He very friendly took out a few oceans from his pocket and said: "The car money is for the brother just now." The car money was not that much, firstly, he was still afraid, and secondly, he knew that it was not easy for everyone to make a living outside, and he asked them to do things. , it’s time to make friends.
Unexpectedly, this group of people didn't even look at it, and kept saying: "Since we are Jiuye's friends, if we take money, we will be scolded to death! My brother was offended just now, don't be surprised." Not only did they not accept the money, but they also shouted Several cars came, and Han Linchun was asked to get on one, and then he started running towards the river.
This time we were walking down the street, and Han Linchun rarely had time to appreciate the local customs. As the car drove along, the crowd became more and more concentrated, but it seemed that most of them were coolies. About an hour later, we arrived at a pier.
In a room, Han Linchun saw the Wang Jiuguang he was looking for. Being called Master Jiu by them, he thought that he must be their leader, a tall and thick man, otherwise how could he be able to control them, but he didn't expect that what he saw at first sight was an elegant young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and he couldn't help but be shocked. .
Wang Jiuguang listened to the introduction of his subordinates, smiled and stretched out his hand, not like a hero licking blood from the knife edge at all, but like a teacher: "Who are you?"
Han Linchun raised his voice boldly: "Brother Han Linchun is the commander of the first division under Marshal Zhang Zuolin, the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces. He was ordered to come to Shanghai to purchase some equipment."
Wang Jiuguang said calmly: "Oh, brother, I don't seem to know you." Fortunately, the halo of Zhang Dashuai and the teacher did not make him think anything, it was just a symbol.
Han Linchun then remembered that Zhang Dashuai’s reputation was not easy to use, and he blamed himself for getting used to it. He chuckled and said, "To be honest, the young marshal entrusted me to come here to ask for help, sir."
Wang Jiuguang's face looked better now. He thought of the past with Zhang Hanqing in Beijing, and felt a burst of joy in his heart.
After that meeting, although Zhang Hanqing failed to persuade him to join the Feng clique, his words made him reflect on his previous behavior. In politics, no one is right or wrong, or no one knows the inner feelings of others at a certain time and place. Thinking about all these nonsense was a burden to this upright hero, so he simply put it down and led a group of fellow villagers from Anhui to live a good life in Shanghai.
His good days are to grab territory.
The fortune started when cargo owners withheld workers’ labor money. He went to an iron shop and made a hundred axes overnight, and the next day he led people into the cargo owner's office, and everything was solved;
He had a fight with Huang Jinrong, the most powerful Green Gang leader in Shanghai, and stole a piece of his dock business. Under the power of the Ax Gang, Huang Huangrong finally chose to reconcile and set aside the wharf for the management of the Anhui Guild Hall. Since then, the reputation of the Ax Gang has spread throughout Shanghai. Wang Yaqiao's name also resounded throughout Shanghai, and he was revered as "Nine Masters".
This is not what Wang Yaqiao is most proud of. What he is most happy about is that a group of Anhui workers who followed him can finally live a not-so-good life. This sense of accomplishment gradually dilutes his dislike of the government. It turns out that living like this is quite good. good.
After all, he was entrusted by an old friend and came to see him specially, so Wang Yaqiao showed his courtesy as a landlord and invited Han Linchun to have a meal. During the dinner, Han Linchun mentioned the search for Chen Brai, and Wang Yaqiao agreed.
They talked more about Zhang Hanqing. Han Linchun talked about Zhang Hanqing's various deeds in suppressing bandits, building the party, land reform, economic construction, and building the army. These deeds have been heard in Shanghai. But when Han Linchun told this kind of story in the first person, Wang Yaqiao listened with interest. He has a delicate heart and is very sensitive to practical matters that can benefit the people. In any case, dividing land and developing industry is always a good thing. As for the rest, don't say anything.
I didn’t expect that humble boy to do such big things in just a few years. What’s funny is that I almost killed him! Thinking of this, Wang Yaqiao felt a rare shyness, so when Han Linchun mentioned that the purpose of his trip was to buy machines, he nodded and said, "This is a good thing. If you need brothers, just ask."
How can a gangster help in this matter? Everyone is talking based on the money in their pockets, okay? Han Linchun didn't know that Wang Yaqiao never made promises easily, but he really made a promise worth a thousand dollars! He thought it was just a casual greeting. When he was full of wine and food, he said to Wang Yaqiao: "Thanks to Jiuye's warm hospitality, brother, if you are too drunk, come here first. Wait for brother's mission""I want to go, but I can't put off this matter." That night, Han Linchun boldly wrote a telegram to Zhang Zuolin, explaining the whole story: "I regret it so much that I wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the Huangpu River, but I was afraid that I would delay the important purchase of the machine. Please remit another 500,000 yuan for the machine as soon as possible." , once you buy the machine, you will be punished and you will not give up even if you die!"
" Even if I die, I still have to shoulder the leadership responsibility. Yang Wenkai is the director of the factory. Although he has management power, he is nominally under his supervision.
Originally I wanted to write it to Zhang Hanqing, but in the end I wrote it directly to Zhang Zuolin. Be a bachelor, one person does the work and the other takes responsibility, and I will bear the consequences myself. Why bother with the young commander again? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

A short message connected the hearts of people outside the customs and Shanghai.
After Zhang Zuolin saw the report, he flew into a rage and cursed: "You're a bastard, you coward! If you lose, you lose, you're going to commit suicide!" At such a difficult financial time, he and his son were begging like beggars in order to save money. Lao Zhang is very unhappy when people do things like this. He summoned Zhang Hanqing and scolded him: "These two people have such problems because you are too tolerant of them! And Jiang Dengxuan, Wang Yizhe, and Guo Songling were all promoted by you. Why are you so close? You see, if you don’t restrain yourself normally, they are so bold that they even dare to gamble with money like buying a machine!"
?This news caused an uproar among those who heard it. Five hundred thousand is a huge sum of money these days, no less than the purchasing power of 100 million yuan in later generations! In order to silence everyone, Lao Zhang had to do something. Some people who were dissatisfied with Zhang Hanqing's expansion were secretly rejoicing in his misfortune.
Both Han and Yang belong to Zhang Hanqing, and there is nothing they can do to blame others. However, Zhang Hanqing knows his father's temper. He said this not to punish the two of them, but to make himself a good person. Because I once said this: "It's useless to cry if the milk is spilled." With this father's temperament, the more serious the situation, the more likely he is to show mercy.
Sure enough, Zhang Zuolin said: "Go and tell the two of them that if you want to gamble, bet as much as you want! Ask the director of the munitions department to remit another one million yuan to the people who bought the machines in Shanghai, indicating my instructions, and half of the money will be made. Buy half of the machine! Come back as soon as you buy it, don’t delay any more.”
Zhang Hanqing was originally worried that Han Linchun would be implicated, but now he was overjoyed to get the opportunity to "gamble on orders". He quickly told Han Linchun thousands of miles away the good news.
When Han Linchun and the two were in a dilemma, with life and death uncertain, they suddenly received this remittance, which was a sudden blessing. When I saw that half of the money was used to make money, I couldn't help but burst into tears. He immediately called back to Zhang Hanqing: "I was confused for a moment and made such a big mistake. I regretted it too late. I asked the young commander to smooth things over and save this useless body. How dare I use life-and-death funds for meaningless entertainment? From now on, I will be responsible for it." Stay away from casinos for life.”
Zhang Hanqing quickly called back: "It doesn't matter, just do it. But it's just this one time, and it won't be the same next time."
At this time, Wang Yaqiao, who was very enthusiastic in the past, had learned about this from his subordinates and felt troublesome. However, he also supports the country's self-made arms, and he also has a good impression of Han Linchun - Han Linchun usually looks like a good old man, and when he sees him doing something bad, he can't help but want to help him.
"Gongxing Club?" He thought for a moment and said, "Is it Du Yuesheng's territory?"
At this time, Du Yue's "Sheng" was still called Du Yue's "Sheng". He is currently Huang Huangrong's most proud disciple, running the "Gongxing Club" known as one of the three major casinos in the French Concession. Under his management, the casino prospered. Wang Yaqiao knew that although this person did not read much, he was loyal, insightful, and courageous. He was a character. But for such a large sum of money, he was not sure whether he would sell his face.
But he still went there early the next morning and faced Du Yuesheng directly: "Boss Du, your casino has made a fortune."
?? Du Yuesheng has just turned 30 and is one year older than Wang Yaqiao. They are both famous for each other. Monk Zhang Er was confused about Wang Yaqiao's sudden visit. They both plan their meals on the beach in Shanghai, but the methods are different. However, he still clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "If you don't dare to take it seriously, please call me Mr. Du - it's brothers who are here to support me. What kind of wind brings Master Jiu here? You are a rare visitor! If Master Jiu wants to end his life, brother, I will offer you two hundred yuan." ." The boss is too vulgar. He likes people to call him sir, although he neither teaches nor is much educated, and his status is not high at this time.
Wang Yaqiao laughed and said: "Okay, Mr. Du. We are wise people and don't talk secretly. Did you get a lot of income last night?"
" Du Yuesheng knows this. After all, half a million is a huge sum of money. It is impossible for him, the owner of the casino, not to be notified, because he has to do this by giving out silver rewards according to the income. "What? Is this related to Master Jiu?" He became more vigilant. Experience tells him that as long as Wang Yaqiao is involved, it will not be a trivial matter.
Wang Yaqiao waved his hand easily: "No."
Du Yuesheng was relieved: "What does Master Jiu mean?"
Wang Yaqiao smiled and said, "Although it has nothing to do with me, I later found out that this matter has something to do with you, Mr. Du."
Du Yuesheng was confused: "Master Jiu, please tell me if you have something to say. Brother, I don't understand."
Wang Yaqiao stopped being dumbfounded: "This money is the money that Zhang Zuolin, the commander-in-chief of Northeast China, sent to Shanghai to buy arms-making machinery. Unfortunately, I lost it in your casino. Now,Everyone is ready to commit suicide to apologize. "
“Ah, there is still this matter? Du Yuesheng was surprised. Although Zhang Zuolin was far away in the Northeast, as one of the only two patrol envoys with real power in the Republic of China, and with a heavy army, Zhang Zuolin still held great weight in the Chinese political arena. Having this money in his own hands is indeed not a good sign, although there has never been any interaction between them before.
"The people should not fight against the officials. This is a thousand-year-old saying, and it is a truth that is applicable everywhere"
This Du Yuesheng, despite his low literacy, has been outstanding as a person in Shanghai for decades, not to mention in the underworld, even in modern history: he is connected to the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, and he is able to fight with ordinary people. A group; able to support foreigners in the concession and help the Communist Party a lot; he summed up incisively that there are three bowls of noodles that are the most difficult to eat: "human face, scene, and human face". He also believed that "the icing on the cake makes things better." Others do it, and I only do things to provide help in times of need.” It was quite rare to have this kind of awareness in that era.
This money is really hot
When Wang Yaqiao saw that he had a chance, he finally explained his purpose: "As for me, I had an acquaintance with Marshal Zhang from the Northeast before. His general asked to be my disciple, so I couldn't refuse. But 'Gongxing' is Mr. Du's territory, and I It’s not easy to make the decision, so I came here to tell Mr. Du, please do what you want. If you can help me, my brother, I will remember this feeling for the young marshal; if you don’t pay it back, it is a matter of course and I will not Having a grudge because of this is just doing my best.”
He said he was very bachelor, but the more he said it, the more Du Yuesheng beat the drum. Although the amount is a bit larger, it doesn't matter if you throw it away. It's much better than making a big deal. He wanted to return it, but the place was golden and he couldn't make the decision.
"Master Jiu, this matter is difficult to handle. We run a casino. You can use your skills to make money and even win in the casino. We are willing to admit defeat! But if we are asked to give away money, no casino operator in the world has this rule. If it’s borrowed money, brother, I can make the decision and wipe it out right now!”
" Du Yuesheng is very embarrassed, but he is sincere. What he said was the truth, and even Wang Yaqiao couldn't refute it. Jianghu has its own rules, and he is also a member of the Jianghu, so he cannot violate moral principles.
At this time, there was a sudden noise at the front door, and someone came in and reported: "The guy who lost money yesterday is here again, and he wants to gamble again!"
Wang Yaqiao and Du Yuesheng both looked surprised. Wang Yaqiao knew that they had lost all their money, and Du Yuesheng was surprised because he thought they were here to recover the money. If this is true, no matter if he is a handsome man from the Northeast or someone else, I, Old Du, will die if I become a bachelor!
The eyes of the entire casino turned to Han Linchun and Yang Wenkai. There are high rollers in casinos every year, but many people have never seen such high rollers in their lives.
Du Yuesheng received them personally and said: "Two guests are here to play. Du has nothing to entertain, so I offer you a thousand yuan for fun." This is a generous gesture, and he is a good person. In any case, when someone loses a huge sum of money, they must be in a bad mood, and the casino has to help them. This is consistent with the traditional rules of returning gamblers' travel expenses home. Regardless of whether they want to cause trouble or not, no one can say that they should be courteous before fighting.
Unexpectedly, Han Linchun and the two were very confident, so they directly declined his kindness. They were a hundred times more courageous when they came in, but this time was different from last time. They came to gamble under the "imperial decree", and their mentality was different.
Wang Yaqiao secretly wondered, both of them had just arrived in Shanghai, where did they borrow their gambling funds? But no matter how many thousands you have, it’s just a matter of how long you spend in this gold-selling cave. They are also too courageous! He couldn't help but said: "Brother Han, what are you doing?"
Han Linchun really hasn't seen him yet. He is currently focusing on this big gamble. Seeing Wang Yaqiao, he was also stunned: "Master Jiu is here too?" He still had a good impression of Wang Yaqiao: "Brother, I have been ordered by the commander to come here to try again and see if I can get back to my old position."
Wang Yaqiao laughed and said: "How much money do you have in total, and you still want to get back your money?" It is estimated that these two people used their living expenses and transportation expenses to gamble for the last time. Thinking about it, he felt sad: "Is it possible that they really hold on to the money?" Determination to die? Otherwise, with a little capital, how many consecutive wins will it take to get back the capital!"
Whenever Han Linchun is faced with a "big enemy", his expression is extremely calm: "The commander-in-chief gave me another five hundred thousand and ordered me to win back my capital!" But if anyone stares at his legs, they can see that his trousers are It was shaking slightly, although he tried his best to hide it.
Although Zhang Zuolin was very straightforward, he decided that if he lost the money again, he would never live
The crowd roared. They had seen gambling so fierce that they even risked their lives, but these two consecutive large sums of money were something they had never seen before in this life. Not only Wang Yaqiao was surprised, Du Yuesheng also found it very difficult: "This is not gambling, this is the rhythm of gambling." It is conceivable that if you eat this money again, no matter what, you will offend Zhang Zuolin to death. impossible.
In an instant, Du Yuesheng made a decision. He said with a smile: "Everyone here is a guest. Since we have opened the casino, I have to have fun with you all. Brother, I am going to end the game myself. I wonder how this brother plays?" (Remember the website address: www. hlnovel.com)?The rhythm of destiny. "It is conceivable that if you eat this money again, no matter what, you will offend Zhang Zuolin to death, and it is impossible to be kind.
In an instant, Du Yuesheng made a decision. He said with a smile: "Everyone here is a guest. Now that we have opened a casino, I have to have fun with you all.

Before coming here, Han Linchun had discussed it with Yang Wenkai. As the saying goes, nine out of ten gambles mean cheating. The more tricks there are, the more changes there will be, and the greater the chance of losing. It's better to guess the size of the dice. This is simple and saves the suffering - how much time will it take to get back the money one by one!
Du Yuesheng was also a gambler in the past, otherwise Huang Huangrong would not have let him run the casino "to give full play to his talents". When I heard that the other party wanted to play dice, I felt relieved at first.
At this time, the three floors outside the gambling table were surrounded by water. With these countless pairs of eyes, it really takes a lot of skill to cheat.
At this time, a pair of dice sets was already placed on the table, and Du Yuesheng motioned to Han Linchun and the two of them to check. Yang Wenkai is the protagonist. He picked up the dice Gu and looked at it carefully and said: "Okay."
Guessing the size is the most common and most "fair" game in the casino. There are three dices. The dealer sets the dice and the player guesses the size. The guessed number is the sum of the three dice numbers, and the odds here are all 1 to 1. Large means the sum of the numbers is 11 to 17; small means the sum of the numbers is 4 to 10.
The convention is that the casino is the banker.
Du Yuesheng skillfully picked up the dice Gu, which he had been playing with since he was fifteen years old. Over the years, it has become a part of his life. Naturally, he is also deeply immersed in skills. After going back and forth for more than ten rounds, he smashed the dice Gu on the gaming table with great strength. At this time, the waiter in the casino shouted: "Buy the deal and leave, no mistakes will be made!"
As a senior gambler, Yang Wenkai knew from Du Yuesheng's gestures that this was a difficult opponent. Under the opponent's skillful tactics, he was not able to see any clues.
So, the result can only depend on luck!
He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Just this one, bet it big, all 500,000!"
The crowd exclaimed in unison. It was the first time for Wang Yaqiao to see such an exciting scene. Although he was said to have killed many people in later generations, his face was tense at this time. On the contrary, Han Linchun had no expression on his face and just stared at the Gu in Du Yuesheng's hand without moving. There is nothing more sad than heartbreak. As long as he loses this time, he really has no other choice but to commit suicide to thank the old commander and the young commander. After thinking about the outcome, I became calm.
Du Yuesheng's hand shook unnaturally. Senior gamblers all know that as a banker, you will not react like this for no reason. Could it be?
While everyone held their breath, Du Yuesheng slowly opened the dice Gu without even looking at it. This calm look made Han Linchun's heart sink: "It's over!"
Two o’clock, two o’clock…
If the third number is not six, then the sum is less than 10, the dealer wins. A dice has six sides, and the probability of rolling a non-six is ??five-sixths, so the banker has a huge chance of winning.
As the dice Gu was completely removed, the crowd roared with excitement. What a wonderful move, throwing another two!
Although it is six points, there is a special rule in this game: no matter whether the bet is large or small, if the result of the rotation of the dice is three with the same number, then it is considered a loss. It doesn't matter if you throw a leopard!
So the banker loses, and Du Yuesheng loses 500,000!
" Han Linchun was so excited that his heart almost flew out of his chest. Now it's better. The five hundred thousand he lost is back. Now he can do business. Yang Wenkai was also in tears. After decades of gambling, he ate a leopard for the first time. It seemed that his fortune had come! He pushed the chips forward without thinking: "Bet again!"
Han Linchun, who was in a state of ecstasy, almost felt as if he had been beaten. Is this Yang Wenkai having a sex attack? Looking at the fearless look on his face, it was obvious that he was addicted to it. Good luck will not always follow him, and it is only right to stop when things are good, but now, he can't stop either. The rules of the casino are that if you leave your bet, there will be no regrets.
"If there was a knife at this time, Han Linchun would have chopped him to death: He had just escaped from hell, and he was going to demonstrate again. Did he really not want to die?
The onlookers exclaimed again, the principal plus surplus is now one million, the biggest bet in history is here! Only Wang Yaqiao looked at Du Yuesheng calmly, and the exchange in their eyes flashed.
Du Yuesheng still calmly finished rolling the dice, as if the five hundred thousand he just lost was just a number. Only then did Yang Wenkai wake up from his intoxication: "What am I doing?"
However, there was no room for him to think too much at this time. Just the shouts of the people eating melons made him unable to calm down. He trembled and said: "Bet, bet big!" Since betting big just brought him good luck, he might as well continue the good luck.
"Opening the poison is still two o'clock, two o'clock
Wang Yaqiao looked at Du Yuesheng's face and suddenly smiled; HanLin Chun looked at the dice Gu, his mind in confusion; Yang Wenkai, the person involved, no longer dared to look at it anymore. I had bad luck just now, and I won't have the same luck now. Otherwise, is there any justice?
In the haze, he heard fierce shouts from around him. Completely unconsciously, Yang Wenkai felt himself being picked up by someone. At the same time, he vaguely heard a person shouting: "Win! Win!"
The third dice is still two! The same points, the same two games, the dealer loses completely! In this way, Yang Wenkai used 500,000 yuan in gambling to win two consecutive games in less than ten minutes, winning back four times, a total of 2 million oceans! He rubbed his eyes, still not believing this fact: "Am I dreaming?"
At this time, Han Linchun looked at Du Yuesheng, bowed his hands deeply to him, and said quietly: "May I ask your name, sir?"
Du Yuesheng returned the gift calmly and calmly: "I don't dare to take it seriously, brother Du Yuesheng, please say hello to the young marshal for me." He did not mention Marshal Zhang but showed Zhang Hanqing. It was very interesting. At least Wang Yaqiao needed to remember this favor.
Han Linchun nodded: "I am Han Linchun, commander of the First Division of the Fengjun Army. I have recorded this favor on behalf of the Marshal!" Only from the perspective of a bystander, Han Linchun could conclude that the other party had sent a huge favor. With the opponent's skillful technique, he can throw the same leopard twice in a row. This skill is definitely not "bad luck"! At this time, even Yang Hu like Yang Wenkai knew that Du Yuesheng showed amazing gambling skills in both games, but he just didn't give up when he saw good results.
With a raise of your hands, you can give away two million as a favor without thinking about the consequences. At this time, he has not yet reached an equal status with Huang Jinrong, but he can be so courageous. No wonder Du Yuesheng is called "the first person in the gang in three hundred years", and this evaluation is by no means unfounded.
With a check of two million in his arms, Yang Wenkai’s excitement was completely uncontrollable. Although there have been many twists and turns, with a net profit of one million, I can buy more equipment! This trip was finally worth it. Out of guilt and to atone for their sins, they decided to spend all their money on buying machines. So the two bought many more machines than planned at the auction two days later, several times exceeding the planned scale. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 362: Thirst for talents

At the same time, the people sent by Wang Yaqiao also found Chen Brai, who was working as the editorial director of the "Business Daily" at this time. It's not that he is easy to find, but that he is too famous. In the newspaper industry, there are few people who don't know Chen Brai.
His real name is Chen Xun'en, his courtesy name is Yanji, his nickname is Wei Lei, and his pen name is Bui Bui. When he first debuted, he worked as a writer for Tianduo Daily. Because of his outstanding talent, diligence and dedication, he soon became a famous reporter in the Shanghai newspaper industry. During this period, he wrote a large number of current commentaries supporting the Revolution of 1911, opposing the feudal monarchy, and promoting the republican spirit, which had a great influence.
The "External Declaration" drafted in English by Mr. Sun Yat-sen on behalf of the Provisional Government was translated into Chinese by the young Chen Brai and first published in the "Tianduo Daily". By the time Mr. Bray had become his name, his real name had been forgotten.
It was impossible for Chen Brai not to be surprised or even worried when he was suddenly invited to meet by the person known as Master Jiu. He was just a weak scholar with no power and no way to deal with the underworld. However, I felt relieved when I thought that I was only fighting against warlord rule and the dark side of society, and had never been involved in the underworld.
In fact, he is not the only one, but also great figures such as Lu Xun, Yu Dafu, Zhang Taiyan, etc., also only exposed their dissatisfaction with the current situation of the country, and never mentioned the Qinghong Gang in their articles. Is this just a coincidence?
The meeting place was a teahouse with bright and clean windows, which was very suitable for scholars. When Chen Brai arrived as promised, he found that there were only two people sitting inside. When he saw him coming, they stood up together.
The short and thin middle-aged man on the left wears black-rimmed glasses, which fits the situation here; on the right is a blessed middle-aged man. If it weren't for the calm and self-reliant look between his eyebrows, he would be thought of as someone. A chef in a restaurant.
The blessed middle-aged man stretched out his right hand and made a very solemn gesture. Although Chen Brai couldn't tell which army it was from, he knew it was a military salute. In any case, in his mind, he still liked the fact that the big boss could treat himself as an intellectual well. Although he didn't know these two people, Chen Brai was not a rotten scholar who doesn't tolerate fireworks. He raised his hands and said, "I wonder who I'm looking for?"
The middle-aged man who saluted smiled and said: "I am Han Linchun. I have been ordered by our young marshal to ask you to sit down. I am presumptuous." He pointed to the short and thin middle-aged man next to him and said: "This is Wang Yaqiao, nicknamed Jiuguang. , the one known as Master Jiu."
His butt suddenly felt like being pricked by a needle. Chen Brai looked at Wang Yaqiao in surprise: "Wang Jiuye of the Ax Gang?!" Compared to Han Linchun, Wang Yaqiao's reputation was too great. As for the young marshal, he was directly ignored. .
Wang Yaqiao felt a little embarrassed. It is true that he is the boss of the underworld, but he still respects intellectuals quite a bit. Usually he is very popular in front of others, but suddenly he was called "leader of the Ax Gang" and felt very embarrassed. It is true that "everything is of low quality, only education is high." China's respect for teachers and education is most thorough among the underworld and the people at the bottom of society.
Seeing that Chen Brai was a little confused, Han Linchun hurriedly said: "It was Master Jiu who I asked to find Mr. Chen" before pulling him back to the table.
"Our young marshal has admired Mr. for a long time. When he came to Shanghai this time, he specifically told me to find Mr. and ask him to go north with me. I must have known that Mr. We have created a People's Party in the Northeast. Its program is 'Leadership and Unite the people of all ethnic groups in the country, regain lost territory, eliminate foreign aggression, build our country into an Asian power that includes the modernization of industry, agriculture, transportation, and national defense, and build a new China of the people, for the people, and by the people without economic exploitation or political oppression. . To this end, we have made fruitful efforts. Now the number of party members has exceeded 50,000, and the situation is gratifying.
But as the party chairman, the young marshal is wary of danger in times of peace. He has always believed that our party lacks cadres who can enrich the party's theory and have certain prestige and ability on the propaganda front, so after careful consideration, he chose you, sir.
I know that your husband is dissatisfied with the warlords' melee, and I also got to know him from the side in Shanghai. I think that your talent and character are enough to undertake this glorious and arduous task. In order to show his sincerity, the young marshal personally handed me 10,000 yuan to cover my husband's settlement and transportation expenses. If the husband can bring his family to serve, the young marshal will also build a new foreign-style building next to the marshal's mansion to serve him. "
This treatment can no longer be described as generous. Wang Yaqiao began to reflect deeply, was he a little too petty in dealing with others? The young marshal who was thousands of miles away paid a stranger tens of thousands and it was just settlement allowance. I heard that the marshal also allocated an additional 500,000 in gambling capital to two gamblers to make money. Yesterday, Du Yuesheng gave away 2 million in a snap. Favor, who are these people!
The establishment of the People’s Party has always been based on news.After a lot of effort, now it is finally complete. "
Zhang Hanqing has always suffered from the fact that he is not proficient in party affairs theory - in fact, he is not proficient in it. He only has the advantage of transcending people's clan in terms of programmatic slogans, but if he really wants to delve into it, he has neither interest nor No time. If Zhu Guangmu, Wu Jiaxiang and others had not constantly filled in the gaps and filled in the content with the times, his "advanced theory" of the People's Party could only remain a program.
There are Guo Songling and Han Linchun in the army, Wang Yizhe and Jiang Dengxuan in political work, Wu Jiaxiang and Zhu Guangmu in party affairs, and now that Chen Builei, who is very knowledgeable in writing, has joined, the theoretical work of the party is also complete. It goes without saying that Chen Builei can be called the first "literary bold" of the Kuomintang, and his writing skills are certainly needless to say. Moreover, he is cautious and prudent, which is exactly the potential of being able to do research with a calm heart.
So he was looking forward to Chen Brai's arrival. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 364: Make the best use of everyone

Since Zhu Guangmu actually plays the role of Zhang Hanqing's confidential secretary and housekeeper, and is also the secretary of the secretariat, some time-consuming and laborious routine work has to be transferred, especially the leadership of the People's Party Propaganda Minister. It fell into Chen Brai's hands. However, because his qualifications in the party are still relatively low, Zhu Guangmu is still in charge for the time being.
However, the day-to-day work has been fully taken care of by the People’s Party’s only mouthpiece, the People’s Party News Editor-in-Chief Chen Brai, which made him feel the pressure doubled and his sense of responsibility was overwhelmed.
Later, Zhang Hanqing reorganized the Secretariat of the Central Committee. Han Linchun and Guo Songling, who had heavy military tasks, would no longer serve as secretaries and were replaced by Organization Minister Jiang Dengxuan. This also reflected the extension of Zhang Hanqing's idea of ??"separation of military and political affairs": the Party Secretariat only When it comes to matters related to the party and government, it would be better for military attachés who hold military power to leave the party leadership.
There are currently 5 secretaries in the Secretariat: Zhu Guangmu, Wu Jiaxiang, Wang Yizhe, Han Shuxiu, and Jiang Dengxuan. It should be noted that Zhang Hanqing no longer holds the concurrent position of Secretary of the Secretariat because, in order to reflect his detached status, he has added "the Chairman of the Party leads the work of the Secretariat" in the Party Constitution. In fact, it has been a natural acquiescence that he is in the Secretariat. leadership position.
However, the power of the Secretariat has not been weakened by this. Zhang Hanqing stipulated in the revised Party Constitution that the Secretariat is responsible for a certain aspect of the party's affairs. Except for major decisions, which must be collectively discussed by the Secretariat, other routine work Everyone is responsible, and the decisions of the secretaries will be issued in the name of the People's Party Central Committee.
Of course, there are also restrictions on the power of the Secretariat. The Party Constitution also stipulates that "all documents and decisions without the Secretariat can only be regarded as personal actions." All decisions of the secretaries, that is, documents issued in the name of the People's Party Central Committee, It will all be handled by Zhu Guangmu's Adjutant's Office and the General Office of the Central Committee of the People's Party.
So, you know, this Adjutant General Office actually controls the lifeblood of the People's Party, that is, the power is concentrated under Zhang Hanqing's nose.
After several years of hard work, Jiang Dengxuan impressed the whole army with his strong political work quality. Zhang Hanqing admired his performance in the Political Department of the Guard Division, so he was not only promoted to the Secretariat, but also to the Central Committee. The Military Commission serves as a member of the Military Commission. In this way, in addition to Zhang Hanqing and Zhang Zuoxiang, the current Central Military Commission of the People's Party already has 6 members. They are Guo Songling, Han Linchun, who serve as division commander and director of the political department in the Guard Division and the First Division. Jiang Dengxuan, Wang Yizhe, Mi Chunlin, who serves as the general military supplies minister, and Ji Yiqiao, who serves as the general training minister.
They each perform their duties and can effectively supervise each other. Major matters are discussed collectively. Director Lin Wei of the Military Intelligence Division of the Marshal's Office can also understand the military situation on behalf of the Marshal at any time, allowing Zhang Hanqing to get out of the heavy military affairs. Get out.
Both the party and the government are controlled by the people around you at any time, which invisibly expands the influence of the people around you, which requires the people around you to have strong self-discipline. Lin Wei has never claimed credit in history; Chen Bulei is also extremely clean and even Chiang Kai-shek praised him as "a perfect man of his generation". This is one of the reasons why Zhang Hanqing dared to hand over power to them.
Another important reason is that he, who is well aware of the direction of history, believes that continuing such tepid and step-by-step development in Northeast China is no longer enough to fundamentally change the situation in China. Even if you are having a lot of fun now, it's because you haven't touched anyone else's cake. If you want to fully absorb the Feng system according to your own wishes, you may encounter something bad. The development of the People's Party and the party's army in the Northeast has encountered a bottleneck, and he began to consider the future way out.
Therefore, you need to arrange the structure of the post-own era while you are still here to ensure that you can continue to maintain the prestige here after leaving the Northeast and limit the emergence of certain careerists. Since Zhang Hanqing can be born in this world, it is inevitable that someone else will be "born" in the same way. Similarly, if there are a group of warlords such as Zhang Zuolin in this world, it is inevitable that someone else will be born at a certain opportunity.
It is enough to fight against the Japanese and all other foreign imperialists. Zhang Hanqing does not want to have an internal fight within the Fengcian clique and the People's Party. It will not only undo his years of efforts, but may also cause harm China's history has brought great changes.
Because he has gradually deviated from official history, and with his consistent "unfriendly" attitude towards Japan, the Japanese government is no longer optimistic about the prospects of continuing to support Zhang Zuolin It is believed that if it had not been for his efforts in the past few years, he would have been promoted very quickly. Given Fengjun's strength and Zhang Zuolin's dominance in the Northeast, the Japanese would definitely replace him and his son.
This is why the father and son worked together to build the Fengtian Arsenal. If you have money, people, and weapons, you can??, no matter how the situation changes, the status of the Zhang family is as stable as Mount Tai.
So when Han Linchun and Yang Wenkai returned from Shanghai, Zhang Zuolin did not pursue the Shanghai gambling story, but praised them greatly. Yang Wenkai was recommended to be promoted to the director of the ordnance department of the patrol mission, and his military rank was also promoted to major general. Han Linchun was comforted by the young marshal.
There is no surprise, because although they have done it before, their contribution is huge.
The equipment of the German Kreppard Arsenal purchased from the Netherlands was five times as much as planned, which has made the entire Feng army extremely happy. With this equipment, arming two artillery regiments in a year is not a problem. The 27th, 28th, and 29th Divisions have no reason to compete with them. The Guard Division, the 1st Division, and the 16th Division have all been equipped with an artillery battalion. No matter how partial Lao Zhang is, each of their divisions will soon be equipped with at least one artillery battalion, right? ? Therefore, as for Yang Wenkai's blessing due to "misfortune", I can only smile bitterly and praise him for his good luck.
With the foundation of these equipments, Zhang Zuolin was confident. It is not surprising that he strongly praised Zhang Hanqing's bold statement of "building Fengtian Arsenal into the largest and best arsenal in Asia." With the unanimous approval of the top and bottom, the mountain artillery manufacturing branch 4 of Fengtian Arsenal was grandly put into operation on an open land of tens of thousands of acres outside the east gate of Fengtian University. In accordance with Zhang Hanqing's requirement of "training a group of people, becoming familiar with a group of people, and intensively studying a group of people", Yang Wenkai made advanced planning for it: not only leaving considerable room for expansion, but also planning to produce larger-caliber mountain cannons in the future. , grenade | artillery reserve technology and talents.
In order to ensure the quality of production, the entire process is mechanized from the input of materials in the first forging workshop to the forming of guns and bullets in the last workshop.
After years of selfless efforts by Yang Wenkai, Fengtian’s arsenal expanded to 8,000 or 9,000 machines a year later, with the ability to produce 150 imitation 75mm Krupp mountain guns annually, making it the largest arsenal in the country at that time. Of course, the financial ability to support such a money-burning thing is a major factor. You must know that since investment began in the fifth year of the Republic of China, the Northeast Finance Department has spent a total of 30 million on it.
Because Fengtian Arsenal produces the largest number of imitation mountain artillery pieces and the best quality among all the Beiyang governments, Fengtian Arsenal is also known as the "Krupp of China." But people in Fengtian don't say that. They all call this a "big arsenal won", because it is indeed the case.
“However, it is also true that Yang Wenkai has never entered a casino in his life. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 365: The Beginning of the Fengxian (Part 1)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The symbol representing the level of modern industry is steel and coal output. By the beginning of 1919, Northeast China accounted for 85% and 82% of the country's total output respectively, which were 10% and 15% of Japan's during the same period. They were 28% and 35% higher than those before the Northeast New Deal.
These numbers are dynamic and increasing, because according to news from the Intelligence Headquarters of Japan's Kwantung Army, several more tens of millions of tons of iron ore and coal mines are being discovered in Heilongjiang - in fact, this data is not reliable. , Zhang Hanqing wisely chose to keep these numbers down.
After nearly one and a half years of hard work, the Pingqi Line was completed and officially opened to traffic in early 1919. A new branch line of the North-Manchuria Railway extending from Harbin to the northeast along the Songhua River to Jiamusi is also being accepted. At this point, transportation trunk lines in the northeastern part of Jilin and the entire province of Heilongjiang are connected in all directions, which has greatly enhanced the economic development of the Songhua River Basin.
The reason why this big move was able to be completed when financial resources were obviously insufficient was that the people along the railway line contributed a lot. Zhang Hanqing issued railway coupons to solve the serious shortage of funds. This coupon not only meets daily needs, but the rest is stipulated to be redeemed after three years, which greatly saves cash flow. The poor and homeless people were not too keen on this coupon at first, but after the working group sent by the People's Party went to the countryside to promote the village, the farmers who had gained trust in the government because they were allocated land were more willing to believe that it was true.
In addition, attracted by the ability to reduce labor rations, millions of migrant workers can be seen busy on the railway lines during the off-farm time. At that time, transportation conditions were extremely backward. All the sleepers, rails, and even foundation stones used in building railways were pulled from the muddy and difficult-to-travel wilderness with extremely primitive handcarts. Zhang Hanqing said with emotion: "The completion of the Pingqi Line is a milestone for Northeast China." It was pushed out by the common people.”
Because these places are not within Japan’s traditional sphere of influence, the Zhangs and his sons started building infrastructure with confidence and boldness. On the contrary, the construction of Fengtian Province lagged behind Kyrgyzstan and Heilongjiang provinces. With the gradual decline of Soviet Russia's power, Zhang Zuolin actually gained much more strength than during the same period in official history.
With the acceleration of the urbanization process, Harbin has suddenly emerged and has shown its huge radiation and influence as a provincial capital city and an important node on the Middle East Road. Historically, by the late 1920s and early 1930s, Harbin was already the second largest international metropolis in Asia, second only to Tokyo and far stronger than Shanghai. There are 34 foreign-funded banks opening branches here, with direct business relationships with international financial centers such as Paris and New York. The financial dynamics of Harbin Port influence the financial situation of the Far East; the number of foreign commercial institutions in Harbin once reached 1,809.
?Through the efforts of the "Three Northeastern Provinces Planning Committee" personally headed by Zhang Hanqing, the national economic operation, transportation, and industrial construction of the three Northeastern provinces are many times better than in official history. Various feedbacks show that the efforts of the clique government have accelerated the development of Northeast China.
Politically, the People's Party, with Zhang Hanqing as its chairman, made great progress, established party branches in various places like mushrooms after rain, and controlled the parliaments of the three northeastern provinces with the support of Zhang Zuolin and others, becoming a pivotal political force. The People's Party's reliance has officially become three associations: farmers' associations, chambers of commerce, and parliament. The Farmers' Association is based on the "Northeast Land Reform Committee"; the Chamber of Commerce is based on official and business capital such as Zhang Zuolin and Yu Aozhou, and Yu Aozhou has even become the richest man in the Northeast; the Parliament is completely controlled by the People's Party, because the nomination rights of members are not It is in the hands of chambers of commerce, farmers’ associations and governments at all levels.
Although Zhang Zuolin, who believed that "power comes from the barrel of a gun", did not really understand the abilities and functions of these "scholars" at first, when the crowns of "disciplined leader" and "enlightened commander" were fully placed on his head, he But the support for the People's Party is stronger than ever. Compared with his original government base: a coalition of soldiers and gentlemen, the political management model proposed by the People's Party can more effectively eliminate military dictatorship - soldiers are not included in the scope of political management at all, but are subject to In politics, this is a healthy administration.
He once served as the honorary chairman of the People’s Party as a gesture, and now he has become a member of the Party’s Central Standing Committee in a grand manner. With a gun in one hand, he can also speak out in public about the benefits of special talks: anything he wants to do will be implemented in the name of parliament; if he is dissatisfied with the central government's decision-making, he can also speak out and correct it. Shundi used the excuse of "contrary to the public opinion of the three eastern provinces" to block the decree. He has truly tasted the benefits of partisan politics. This soft knife looks much better than the appearance of forceful opposition.
Of course, the People's Party still fails to realize the party's expectations of running the government, but that is only in form. Now the People's Party's tentacles have penetrated into every corner of the three northeastern provinces, and more than 30% of government officials, especially senior officials, have joined the People's Party. Two military governors: Zhang Zuolin and Sun Liechen, became the new members of the Central Standing Committee.
Due to the establishment of the arsenal, Fengjun became the only military force in China at that timeFrom then until the end of World War II, even when the Western Front of the Soviet Union was in the most difficult and critical times, Japan did not dare to start another war on the Eastern Front, even though Japan and Germany had concluded an alliance treaty.
So Japan is a bad wolf. When it encounters a sheep, of course it will feast on it. If China were a rhinoceros, the wolf would have to avoid its two sharp horns. And if China were a lion, Japan's national character would be unwilling to do so, but it could only pretend to be a dog with its tail between its legs - the Japanese's behavior towards the victorious United States in official history is enough to prove everything.
????????????????????????????????????????????????? Based on the current situation, do the Zhangs and their sons have the ability to beat the Japanese wolf to death? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 366: The Beginning of the Fengxian (Part 2)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
In order to solve the chaotic administrative planning situation in Northeast China, Zhang Hanqing proposed to cancel the larger road divisions in the early Republic of China and replace them with smaller prefectures and cities, turning it into the familiar three-level system of provinces, cities (prefectures), and counties in later generations. In the past, there were only four roads in Jilin (for the four-way patrol and preparation roads established in 1908), and there were only three roads in Heilongjiang Province (Longjiang, Suilan, Heihe, and later added Hulun Road), and there was also the Middle East Road affiliated area. The de facto "Eastern Province Special Area" has always been a restricted area outside administrative jurisdiction, and its administrative setting is extremely unreasonable.
When Heilongjiang becomes a safe place, it is necessary to set up a larger provincial area. As a result, the entire territory of the Middle East Road and the North Manchuria Line was merged with the original Heilongjiang area, and 18 counties under the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang's two roads: Binjiang Road and Yilan Road were drawn from Jilin to form the new Heilongjiang Province.
Originally, Qiqihar was the provincial capital of Heilongjiang, but after Russia built the North-Manchuria Railway, Harbin’s location advantages soon became apparent. Because Harbin is located at the node from Changchun to Harbin and from Manzhouli to Suifenhe, its geographical location is very important and it is a relatively prosperous city. Therefore, when Zhang Hanqing was suppressing bandits, he moved the main military and political offices of Heilongjiang from Qiqihar to Harbin, which eventually replaced Qiqihar as the The new provincial capital of the Black Province, this is also the fourth provincial capital of the Black Province.
Harbin is brightly lit at night. It has successively built the largest soybean trading market in the Far East, a grain distribution base in Northeast China, and an important trade center in northern China. Harbin, which was originally a small water port, has become the largest city in the Far East. After the revolution in Russia, many old Russian aristocrats who were dissatisfied with the Soviet regime immigrated to China with their families. Because of this factor, Zhang Hanqing decided to first use Harbin's unique role to attract foreign investment. He enacted several bills within one month of the New Deal, which greatly improved the problem of insufficient funds.
Fengtian Province and the provincial capital also changed their names. The original Fengtian City was originally called Shenyang. When Hou Jin moved the capital here in 1625, it was renamed Shengjing, which means "Fengtian Carrier". The Qing Dynasty is gone, and this place name that is easy to associate with people should return.
Because Zhang Zuolin now has to consider the impact: as his power expands, the central government has to listen to his words. After Zhang Xun's restoration, Yang Du, who was once hailed as the head of the "Twelve Sinners of the Restoration", once approached Zhang Hanqing and asked him to come forward to protect him. Out of his interest in Yang Du's "emperor's art", Zhang Hanqing also suggested that Zhang Zuolin use influence to request amnesty from the central government. After getting his wish, Yang Du stayed in Fengtian and became one of Zhang Zuolin's staff. For this reason, public opinion spread that Zhang Zuolin had ambitions to build the "Liao Empire". In this regard, Zhang Zuolin said: "We have to take a look at the trend of the world. Does the current trend of world politics still allow the transformation from a republic to a monarchy? To say that I want restoration is a fart from the newspapers." Changing the name is a political attitude .
After deliberation for a long time, Zhang Hanqing suggested that Fengtian Province be renamed Liaoning, which means "peace in Liaoning". This was the beginning of the name of Liaoning Province.
These means that Zhang Zuolin, the strongman outside the customs, had his opinion of "surrendering" to the central government quickly approved by the government. However, "Feng" is a collective name for a group, but it cannot be erased from people's consciousness.
Based on this, Zhang Zuolin established provincial cities in the three provinces centered on important cities (military, economic, and transportation). He ensured good roads at the municipal level in the early stage, and then spread them to the county level layer by layer to create a dense road network. If you want to be rich, build roads first. This common sense will never go out of style. As long as the transportation problems restricting Northeast China are solved, with huge energy reserves, abundant population, and vast land, there will be no problem in industrial take-off, and the economy will naturally rise.
Zhang Hanqing’s thoughts on reforming Northeast China all made Zhang Zuolin’s staff sigh. These novel ideas are so clear, feasible and powerful. Whether it is the old faction headed by Wu Junsheng, Zhang Zuoxiang, Yu Zhen, and Zhang Jinghui, the new faction headed by Guo Songling, Jiang Dengxuan, Wang Yizhe, etc., or the powerful faction headed by veterans of the two dynasties Sun Liechen, Ji Jinchun, etc., after seeing the changes in the leadership of the New Army After the changes in de facto cohesion and combat effectiveness, nature and heartfelt support. After the separation of military and political affairs and the separation of military and police, officers no longer have the possibility to gain strength by grabbing land and plundering people's wealth. The only thing that can bring them opportunities is to have the soldiers and military exploits in hand. For Zhang Hanqing who can There is also no objection to improving the management level and combat effectiveness of the military.
In fact, Fengjun was Zhang Zuolin’s private property. No matter how hard he tried, there would not be many people who would object. This was a common problem among warlords in that era. For Zhang Hanqing, he is busy with work and has no energy to deal with possible opposition. This situation is the best.
A group of very capable figures from the Republic of China gradually gathered around the People's Party headed by Zhang Hanqing.
Wang Yongjiang, Mo Dehui, Pan Fu, Liu Shangqing, Zhang Zhenjiu, Wang Shuhan and others who are familiar with finance are all working on Zhang Hanqing's Northeast reform.Come up with suggestions for revolutionary plans. Because it has been in poverty for a long time, the national economy has developed extremely rapidly, and the Northeast's finances continue to grow.
Today, Zhang Hanqing's strategic decision-making within the Fengcheng Clique mainly relies on his influence on the three giants of the Fengcheng Clique. With his identity and long-term correct and keen insight, as well as his heartfelt respect for all the veterans, basically Everyone can get the honor. In order to provide favorable time for the development of the Feng Clan, Zhang Hanqing actively influenced the leaders headed by Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuoxiang, and Sun Liechen, and proposed to "base ourselves within the Pass, develop the economy, hide our capabilities, bide our time, and do nothing." He tried to stay away from the internal warlords in the Pass. , which was strongly recognized by all senior military and political leaders.
In fact, as early as May 26, 1918, Zhang Zuolin and Sun Liechen jointly announced: "From the beginning of May, all political affairs in the three eastern provinces and the people of the three eastern provinces will be decided by themselves; and together with comrades from the southwest and Yangtze River provinces, we will take concerted actions; support the law , foster autonomy, eradicate violence, and promote reunification." This declaration basically guaranteed the two-year war between the Fengcian faction in the north and south of China, enabled a huge economic leap, and improved political and people's power. Condensation. From this series of operations, people at home and abroad can vaguely see the ambitions of the young commander, as well as the embryonic form of governance and army building.
Those who served as high-ranking officials in the army were either old bureaucrats from Beiyang or old bandits who occupied the mountains and became kings with Zhang Zuolin. Most of these people fail to succeed and fail more than they should. Due to the lack of generals who can act independently, and few people who have an overall view, it is not possible to complete the replacement of the old and new in the upper echelons of Fengjun. Objectively speaking, Fengjun's combat effectiveness at this time was not considered strong among the various warlords. It could only be ranked behind Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army, Guangdong and Guangxi Army, and Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army. This has a lot to do with Fengjun's background as a bandit. relation.
However, after land reform and a series of new government measures, the Northeastern Autonomous Government has gradually gained sufficient financial revenue, and its life is much better than two years ago. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

However, economic improvement does not necessarily lead to military progress. For example, in the history of the Liao and Northern Song Dynasties, and the Jin and Southern Song Dynasty, the economies were strong but they had no corresponding weapons, and they only made wedding clothes for others. But the other extreme will also appear. If a powerful country has a civil strife, its apparent strength may fall apart in an instant, such as the "Anshi Rebellion" in the Tang Dynasty and the disintegration of the Soviet Union in later generations.
Within the Fengtian faction, it has gradually become a situation where Zhang Zuolin has the final say.
Politically, Wang Yongjiang and other Wenzhi factions were recommended for important positions by either Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Hanqing, or both father and son, so they were loyal to the Zhang family and his son; militarily, among the six divisions that Fengjun had organized, Zhang Hanqing lived alone. Secondly, Zhang Zuolin controlled the elite 27th and 28th Divisions. Wu Junsheng and Zhang Jinghui each received one and expressed their allegiance to Lao Zhang, and the logistics and equipment of each army were controlled by Lao Zhang. Therefore, in terms of general trends, Lao Zhang's position is unshakable.
But that doesn’t mean they don’t have internal disputes.
As his wings grew, Wu Junsheng was no longer satisfied with being the deputy commander-in-chief and division commander of the Fengjun Army in a "fake name". However, intimidated by Lao Zhang's majesty, he did not dare to reveal anything, but took a curveball approach to save the country.
He took up Zhang Hanqing’s idea: not only did he strongly support Zhang Hanqing’s actions in peacetime, but he also advocated the adoption of the People’s Party leadership system throughout the Northeast. Although this is in line with Zhang Hanqing's intention, he also knows that this formulation is not suitable at present. But to reciprocate the favor, he also wanted Old Wu to take action, because now he had an opportunity.
Although Bao Guiqing is Zhang Zuolin's son and daughter, as a senior figure in the Republic of China, he gradually became unwilling to accept the nominal position of Jilin Governor: all military power was in Zhang Zuolin's hands, but he was not allowed to extend his hands in administration.
Because of Zhang Zuolin’s great power, Japan and Duan Qirui of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China both intended to recruit Bao Guiqing to divide the faction. They unanimously came up with the idea of ????letting Ji Province stand on its own. First, Duan Qirui "negotiated" with Zhang Zuolin on behalf of the Central Committee, hoping to promote Bao Guiqing to "deputy envoy for inspection of the three eastern provinces" and governor of Jilin, so as to "slightly reduce Zhang's workload." Privately, the Japanese also discussed with Bao. Some military personnel were sent to serve as "advisors" to the Jilin Border Guard Army.
Zhang Zuolin does not need to "reduce his workload". He is now busy and happy every day. The Zhang family and his son also opposed the Japanese interference in the affairs of the Fengjun. In the past, the 27th Division was short of money and had to allow it to send consultants when borrowing money from Japan. Now that the Northeast has money, these consultants have also been pushed away from the military through various means. , acting as Zhang Zuolin's personal "consultant". As for Zhang Hanqing's Kuomintang army, they simply did not welcome their arrival.
The border defense forces in the three provinces of Fengcheng, Jilin, and Heilongjiang are actually a makeshift measure when there is no designation. They are all division-level establishments. They are temporarily named "border defense" under the name of the provincial governors, but they are still controlled by Zhang Zuolin. Now, Bao Guiqing disobeyed orders and made these small moves in private, which immediately touched the chord in Zhang Zuolin's heart.
Originally, Bao Guiqing was sent to the Northeast by Duan Qirui as a buffer, and as a relative of Zhang Zuolin, he replaced Bi Guifang, the former governor of Heilongjiang Province, to prevent Zhang Zuolin from getting involved. However, due to Zhang Zuolin's superb methods, he was used as a pusher to seize the territory of Heilongjiang Province. After briefly acting as the governor of Heilongjiang Province, he was replaced by Sun Liechen, which achieved the first expansion of Zhang Zuolin's clique.
If he can properly stay in the post of governor of Jilin, Zhang Zuolin will not hesitate to take this empty post to support him in his old age, so that his feelings will be explained to the Central Committee. However, Bao's move made Zhang Zuolin have evil thoughts. He could not tolerate the continued existence of such disharmonious factors within the Yu Feng clique. He wanted to drive Bao Guiqing away and make his attitude clear to all parties!
Since Jilin far surpasses the Black Province in terms of population and economy, and still needs strong support from the province, the candidate to succeed the governor is very important. In Zhang Zuolin's mind, Sun Liechen was the best choice, but it was easy to transfer him. Who should be the governor of the Black Province he left behind?
The first thing he thought of was Zhang Zuoxiang, who had followed him for many years. Although he had the real power of the Fengjun Chief of General Staff and the Commander of the 27th Division, Lao Zhang still felt that it was a pity that he was not allowed to take charge alone. Now he has a chance.
He privately consulted Zhang Zuoxiang for his opinion, but Zhang Zuoxiang politely declined and suggested that Wu Junsheng, commander of the 29th Division who was not a direct descendant of Zhang Zuolin, be appointed as the governor of the Black Province. Zhang Zuoxiang said: "In terms of qualifications, I am not as good as Xing Quan, and in terms of age, he is older than me. In order to show that we treat people fairly and not show favoritism, I ask the commander-in-chief to let Xing Quan be promoted first. This will be good for our future career."
This very excellent quality moved Lao Zhang: Over the years following him, Zhang Zuoxiang gave up the commander of the 27th Division, the governor of Heilongjiang Province, and now the governor of Jilin. If the generals of the generals can be like this If he is so unselfish, why worry about big things happening?
On the other hand, Zhang Hanqing seized the power during the trial and believed that promoting Wu Junsheng at this time would be crucial to win over the three eastern provinces.It is very beneficial to improve people's hearts and eliminate the suspicion of some powerful factions. "Father, although the second uncle is also a veteran of the Fengclan, he joined later and represents a large group of people who were left behind when the Fengcun advanced. If the second uncle is chosen instead of the eighth uncle, they will undoubtedly feel that it is a big deal. The future is bright, and Uncle Eighth’s position as Chief of General Staff is also very important, and no one can replace him at the moment.”
When he said this, he was actually speaking half-publicly and half-privately. In public terms, Zhang Zuoxiang served as the chief of staff of the Fengjun Army, and indeed acted as Zhang Zuolin's right-hand man. His role was much more useful than that of the governor of Heilongjiang Province; in private, it was Wu Junsheng who privately promised to fight against the People's Party in Heilongjiang after becoming the governor of Heilongjiang Province. We will continue to fully support the development of the province.
So after some thought, Zhang Zuolin decided to listen to the words of the two men and "suggested" that the Central Committee agree to Bao Guiqing's resignation and "recommend" Wu Junsheng to take over as the governor of the Black Province.
?This only requires one process.
Through Zhang Hanqing’s efforts, history has advanced a little, and Zhang Zuolin became the “King of Northeast China” a full year faster. Under his drastic actions, the Zhang family completely occupied important positions in the three northeastern provinces, and the central government could not interfere with these positions, and in many cases they were ratified afterwards. Just like this time, Zhang Zuolin proposed that Bao Guiqing be removed from the post of governor of Jilin and replaced by Sun Liechen on the grounds that he was "more cautious than pioneering" in his tenure as governor of Jilin.
??Bao Guiqing had already received the hint and took the initiative to resign to the Central Committee. Of course, as an excuse, Zhang Zuolin recommended him to be transferred to the post of commander-in-chief of the Middle East Road Guard Army, which was immediately approved by the Central Committee.
Zhang Zuolin "suggested" that Wu Junsheng should take over Sun's position as governor of Heilongjiang. This "suggestion" will of course be recognized.
In terms of economic status, Jilin is far stronger than Heilongjiang. Jilin also straddles the railway boundary between the South and North Manchuria, and is adjacent to Liaoning. As the most important confidant, Sun Liechen's return is very necessary; but Heilongjiang is currently a place where the Japanese cannot touch, and it is the safest place for the clique. Wu Junsheng Being promoted is a huge reward for his many years of overt and covert help to Zhang Zuolin.
In order to repay the favor of the young marshal, after Wu Junsheng took office, he vigorously promoted Zhang Hanqing's various reforms in Heilongjiang Province and actively promoted the People's Party to gain power in Heilongjiang Province. There is no other reason. As the governor, under the current system, he cannot have as much power as the governor in the pass, and he can truly separate the army and politics from the provincial governor. Rather than taking advantage of others, it is better to make friends with the young commander. One of the results is that Heilongjiang became the first province among the three northeastern provinces to realize the leadership of the People's Party |
Of course, Zhang Zuoxiang also won praise from the big guys in the Fengcian faction, and was praised by Zhang Hanqing as the "Big Tree General" in the Northeast. Wu Junsheng was also grateful for Zhang Zuoxiang's sincerity and overall perspective. The two right-hand men of Zhang Zuolin in the post-Fengcian era in history began to enter the "honeymoon period."
To realize a political party, a political power, an army, and a leader, the support of the army is indispensable, and it is even more important in these troubled times. Therefore, it is inevitable that the army will also undergo changes. All armies need to be rotated before they can get rid of the deep-rooted idea of ??occupying the mountain and becoming king. The established army mainly relies on subtle influence, while the newly established army must establish the authority of the commander from the beginning. On this point, Zhang Hanqing's idea of ????leading the general is good.
Of the two newly upgraded divisions of Fengjun, one follows the designation of the 23rd Division where the former Jilin Warlord Meng Enyuan once served as division commander, and the division commander is, as expected, Ding Chao; the other is the newly organized 30th Division, with the division commander Yu Zhen. Both divisions are staffed by troops transferred from the security forces of various provinces, and the officers are all officer cadets and members of the student teaching team who came from the Northeast Martial Arts Hall.
Because there is no designation, the other six mixed brigades and brigades are organized into three security headquarters, which are respectively divided into Feng, Ji, and Heilongjiang provincial border defense and security headquarters according to the division-level structure, and are managed by each military governor respectively. On the recommendation of Zhang Hanqing, Sun Liechen, who had just entered Jilin, appointed Pei Qixun, a former Jilin general, as the commander of the Jilin border defense and security forces.
The forces currently controlled by the Zhang family and his son include:
Wu Junsheng was promoted to the 29th Division (stationed in Heilongjiang). After Wu was promoted to military governor, this position was taken over by Wu's general Wan Fulin.
The 16th Division under Zhang Jinghui is stationed in Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province.
The 30th Division under Yu Zhen's command is stationed on the Liaoyuan-Tonghua line of Jilin Province.
The 27th Division, commanded by Zhang Zuoxiang, was stationed on the line from Yingkou to Wafangdian in Liaoning Province, and was stationed on the left wing of the South Manchuria Railway.
The 28th Division under the jurisdiction of Ji Jinchun is stationed on the front line of Jinzhou-Shanhaiguan, Liaoning Province.
The First Division under Han Linchun was stationed along the line from Dandong to Zhuanghe in Liaoning Province, guarding the right wing of the South Manchuria Railway and controlling the mouth of the Yalu River.
The 23rd Division under Ding Chao's command is stationed in Shenyang.
The Northeast Marine Special Operations Brigade (increased to a mixed brigade-level establishment) where Ji Yiqiao works part-time and the Guard Division led by Guo Songling are both stationed in Shenyang. The three newly-established division-level troops are responsible for the security duties of Feng, Ji, and Hei, respectively, and are being reorganized in an orderly manner.
Out of the 12 standard divisions in the Republic of China, Zhang Zuolin controlled 3; among the 40 or 50 central and local divisions in the country, Zhang Zuolin lived alone in 8, becoming a new generation of powerful dignitaries at that time. When the dignitaries in the Beiyang government were plotting against each other for their own benefit, he concurrently served as the chairman of the "Autonomous Committee of the Three Northeastern Provinces" as the patrol envoy of the three northeastern provinces and the governor of Liaoning. Zhang Hanqing controlled the councils of the three northeastern provinces, making the Northeast a nominal and a de facto independent kingdom.

Chapter 369 Hulunbuir takes the lead
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The time has come to 1919. Since the beginning of the year, the Russian Civil War has been in full swing, and the war has become more and more intense.
On the eastern front, in March Kolchak mobilized 400,000 White Guards in Siberia to cross the Ural Mountains and invade the Volga River Basin. In the Far East, Japanese intervention forces landed in Vladivostok.
On the southern front, the British and French combined fleet entered the Black Sea, French marines landed in Odessa, and British intervention forces occupied Baku. Denikin in the Caucasus received 100,000 weapons and equipment from the United States and 200 British military advisers and began to march northward. He occupied Tsaritsyn at the end of June, marched to Moscow in July, and occupied the Donbass region and Kiev in October.
On the Western Front, the British fleet invaded the Baltic Sea, and Yudenich's White Army launched an attack on Petrograd in mid-May.
Russia’s third front line is in crisis. Because the Trans-Siberian Railway was occupied by the White Army, the east and west were cut into two sections, making it impossible to take care of both the beginning and the end. After the Fengtian government took this opportunity to control the North Manchuria Railway, it also controlled the economic lifeline and strategic fulcrum of the entire province of Heilongjiang. There was only one remaining Russian stronghold in China: Hulunbuir.
The Hulunbuir area originally belonged to Heilongjiang.
Manzhouli, the first station at the western end of the North-Manchuria Railway, is a border city between China and Russia. It was originally called "Holkin Prague", which means "strong spring" in Mongolian. After the western line of the China-Eastern Railway was completed in 1901, a railway station was built here. Because it was the first station for Russia to enter Northeast China (commonly known as Manchuria at the time), it was called "Manzhouli Station", which is "Manzhouli Station" in Russian and "Manzhouli Station" in Chinese. "Manzhouli" was put under the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang Province and Lubin Prefecture was established. It was abolished in the early Republic of China and the entire territory of Hulun was changed.
From January 15, 1912, Tsarist Russia encouraged Hulunbuir to "independence" and succeeded, to November 6, 1915, China and Russia signed the "China-Russia Meeting on Hulunbuir Conditions" in Beijing, also known as the "Hulun Treaty", the Beiyang Policy Until the government revoked its independent status, it has been under the actual control of Tsarist Russia for nearly four years. Although the treaty nominally states that "Hulunbuir is designated as a special area and is directly under the control of the central government," in fact Tsarist Russia still enjoys full privileges there.
Politically speaking, the deputy governor, the highest official, enjoys the "powers of the provincial governor" and is only "supervised by the governor of Heilongjiang", but administratively it is parallel and must be "directly appointed by the president to select a third-rank or above Mongolian member in the place"; Although it is stipulated that "if the officials believe that the local area is unclear and unable to suppress it, the Central | Central Committee can send troops there," but "the Russian government must be notified first" to legalize Russian intervention;
Recognizing the illegal rights and interests of more than 50 economic contracts signed by former Russian businessmen and the "autonomous government"——"Russian entrepreneurs entered into contracts with Hulunbuir officials, and those contracts that were reviewed by the Chinese and Russian committees, China The government should recognize it immediately” and “for the future construction of railways, the loans must first go to Russia”…
This is a concession that is not a concession, because "the Chinese in Hulunbuir only have the right to borrow land." This word "borrow" is clever, but it turns out that foreigners are landlords and Chinese are tenants.
" Taking advantage of his illness and killing him, this is a golden opportunity. We can take this opportunity to wipe out Russia's power in the Northeast in one fell swoop. And if Tongliao, Xing'an League, and Hulunbuir are captured, they will be connected with the three northeastern provinces. What a broad prospect it will be!
Just after the New Year, Zhang Hanqing put forward a proposal to regain Hulunbuir. Speaking of which, in addition to the rare opportunity, this strategic idea also has a lot to do with considering one's own direct lineage.
Because of the natural advantage of the young marshal, Zhang Hanqing made many big moves in just over two years, showing his sharpness and already surpassing the giants in the Fengxian. The interests of the Northeast are limited. Now the People's Party has blossomed in the entire region and has intervened in many administrative affairs. Military resources such as arsenals and martial arts halls are also in his hands. In this way, the old Fengcheng faction's milk raccoon dogs are all in trouble. When he is in a bowl alone, there will naturally be people who are dissatisfied.
Although he would not object to Zhang Hanqing's actions, he gradually started to backlash on some matters, especially the military power that was related to life. There was fierce competition overt and covert. As the old coach, Zhang Zuolin is a bowl of water, and everyone shares the benefits. Basically, the Northeast has formed a three-point situation in which Wu Junsheng, Sun Liechen, and Zhang Zuoxiang each lead one province. As a rising star, Zhang Hanqing and his young marshal team have never been able to legitimately keep pace with these veteran marshals due to their seniority. After all, they can't look too ugly.
Under this situation, if Zhang Hanqing wants to make a breakthrough, he will definitely take food from them. In the early stage of the Fengxian Faction, which is not yet full-fledged, such internal disputes are unnecessary.
But passively waiting for the situation to change is not a good strategy. Zhang Hanqing, who has a large number of troops, has the idea of ????expanding outwards, and the north is a good breakthrough point. When discussing the current situation with senior officials of the Feng Faction, he believed that there were four advantages that were enough to achieve maximum results at minimum cost:
“Russia is trapped inIn the war, there is no spare power to protect the original sphere of influence in China, and the risk is minimal. This is one;
The Japanese are wandering in Siberia in the north. If they control Hulunbuir, they can ensure the peace of the northwest region. It is like a sharp knife guarding the connection between Mongolia, Siberia and the Far East. These are two;
The Hulunbuir garrison is weak and has great confidence in success. These are three;
The most important thing is that this is Chinese territory and it has responsibilities both internally and externally. "
Most of the military and political officials of the Feng Faction agreed with this, and Wu Junsheng, who had participated in suppressing bandits in this area and had become the governor of Heilongjiang, strongly supported it. He said: "Hulunbuir was originally going to be under the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang Province, but I just let Lao Maozi snatch it away. Ahem, I, Wu Datongue, have always been dissatisfied. Now that we have strong troops and strong horses, we can take it down in one go and put an end to Lao Maozi's thoughts."
"Old Wu was afraid of the Japanese, but not the Russian devils. Because recently many of the down-and-out Belarusians have come to the Northeast to seek life. Once these nobles of heaven fall, that's all. Although it is not to the point of begging, it is not uncommon for men to fall down and women to fall into disgrace on the streets of Harbin. In Wu Junsheng's house, there was a very beautiful white Russian aristocratic lady who was more capable than Chinese women.
Once a person has a psychological advantage, his courage will arise spontaneously. The key is that he has the strength of two divisions. It is every warlord's dream to have the opportunity to expand his territory. In order to gain his support, Zhang Hanqing had promised in advance that after taking control of Hulunbuir, he would still place the area under the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang Province. How could Lao Wu not praise it highly but praise it very much?
"The young marshal is right, take advantage of now to take back all the sites that Mao Zi robbed. After passing this village, there will be no more shops like this!"
Among the three major factions, Wu Junsheng was the first to agree. Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang, who were good friends with Zhang Hanqing, would never object. Some members of the Feng Faction were still wary because Hulunbuir was within Russia's sphere of influence, but they became active after Zhang Hanqing explained the situation in Soviet Russia.
The strength of the Northeastern Fengjun, which has established an eight-division structure, has expanded rapidly and is in urgent need of relief. However, the two special regions west of Shanhaiguan and north of Rehe and Chahar are controlled by the Anhui clique. Duan Qirui, the leader of the Anhui clique, is now the Prime Minister of the government. The "Anfu Congress" under the control of the Anhui clique has elected Xu Shichang of the Anhui clique as its leader. The president, legally and physically, cannot step outside the border with the military. Only Liaobei, which has fallen into a state of neglect, is most likely to be conquered by Feng's army.
The Fengjun generals were too uncertain about whether the dispute in northern Liaoning would cause a backlash between Japan and the Soviet Union. Only Zhang Hanqing clearly understood the general trend of history during this period: taking advantage of Japan and Soviet Union to bite dogs, and seizing every opportunity to create a fait accompli was the most important. He spared no effort to lobby the top officials, repeatedly stating that the Japanese were unable to interfere with the Fengjun's actions, and that the Soviet Union had no time to care. This was a good time to regain its territory.
Zhang Zuolin was also very tempted to expand the power of the Feng clique. He was also decisive. Sun Liechen, the former deputy commander-in-chief of the Fengjun Army, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of this military operation to coordinate all armies, and Zhang Hanqing was the commander-in-chief of the front line.
Sun Liechen used part of the Heilongjiang Wanfulin 29th Division to attack Zhalantun from Qiqihar northwest along the North Manchuria Railway. The use of troops this time reflects the benefits of controlling the traffic lifeline in one's own hands. With the cooperation of the station staff, all the baggage and personnel were reloaded and entered Zhalantun with lightning speed.
After easily taking it, we continued westward to Yakeshi and had a fierce battle with the 18th Cavalry Brigade of the Hulunbuir Special Region Troops who first reacted in the Hailar River. Wan Fulin's troops were not willing to fight. Except for one group to block the attack, most of them rushed westward to seize the road and approach Hylar. The purpose of the 18th Brigade was to harass and delay Fengjun's attack. After being forced back to the north bank of the river by the fierce firepower of Wanbu, they did not know the true situation and did not dare to press too hard. They confronted Fengjun's rear troops across the river.
The Guards Division used surprise troops to get off from the Pingqi Railway via Baicheng and headed north to Ulanhot, and then attacked Aershan overnight. In order to consolidate the results, the 1, 23, 27, and 28 divisions were all guarding the Japanese in various places in Liaoning, and the 16 and 30 divisions were guarding Jilin. In this way, especially the area north of Kuanchengzi was completely defended by the Feng army to strangle the Japanese. Any thoughts and actions to advance north; in the relatively safe Black Province, only one division of the 29th Division and one security division are enough.
In this way, the only mobile troops are the Guard Division, and the 29th Division can also go out partially if possible. In the battle of Hulunbuir, these two troops will be the main force.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The giant steel dragon roiling rapidly on the banks of the Taoshui River, the trickling sound of the clear river water was masked by the gasps and footsteps of people. In the early morning, a regiment of the Aershan garrison was disarmed sleepily in the camp.
After taking Aershan, the connection between the north and south of the Xing'an League was completely cut off, so that the entire Tongliao was surrounded in three directions: west, east and north.
The Guards entered Tongliao territory from Fuxin, occupied the Naiman Banner, and then advanced northward, successively captured the Xiliao River and Xinkai River, and besieged Kailu to cut off the westward retreat route of the Tongliao garrison. There were not many troops stationed in Tongliao, and the retreat was blocked, so the defenders quickly surrendered.
Three days later, the Guard Division occupied the two major cities of Liaoyuan and Xing'anling, and the forward troops of the 29th Division had reached the gates of Hailar City.
Fengjun’s military operations in Hulunbuir and Xing’an League quickly alarmed the Soviet Russian government. Soviet Russia inherited Tsarist Russia's interests in Hulunbuir, and of course was unwilling to sit back and watch the Fengjun occupy Hohhot. Barodlov, the Russian commercial plenipotentiary in Hulunbuir, was ordered to protest against the Fengjun action.

"However, the foundation of China's century-long decline is so thin that any measures planned by Zhang Hanqing for the provincial governments in Northeast China will be financially stretched. If there is no money, when will the great national construction in Zhang Hanqing's mind be realized?
With the strong enemy Japan lurking around, other imperialist countries will not let China rise. If it cannot quickly develop to a scale of power that the great powers have to face up to, any action taken by Fengjun in the Northeast may be suspended at any time.
There is a saying that “If you are a lion, you can brag about yourself however you want; but if you are a sheep, excessive obesity will give the other party an excuse to covet you.”
In the past, China’s ability to benefit from the world-famous reform and opening up was closely related to attracting large-scale foreign investment. But now that World War I has just ended, the whole of Europe is in a state of ruin, and everyone is busy restoring the economy. No country can spend large sums of money to help the Northeast Autonomous Government in economic construction. Without money, how can this slow growth quickly change the balance of power between China and Japan?
Where do you get the money from?
An idea that had been buried in his heart for many years came to his mind more and more strongly. This idea was so strong that Zhang Hanqing once risked breaking with the Japanese in advance to control the Middle Road. It was this idea that made Zhang Zuolin make a desperate move and firmly supported his eldest son on the issue of the Middle East Road. I just didn't expect that the Middle East Road would be solved so easily, so I was worried for nothing.
Early summer, the Marshal’s Mansion. Gao Jiyi and Ji Yiqiao were ordered to pay an audience with the young marshal.
As the famous head coach of the "Fengqi Bureau", Gao Jiyi has established an extensive intelligence network in the "Fengqi Bureau" for more than two years since its establishment. His tentacles have spread all over the three eastern provinces, the Far East and even distant Siberia, and he has firmly occupied a leading position in the various systems of the Fengqi Army; And Jian Yiqiao's special operations brigade is even more elusive. It ranked first in meritorious service in the "Kuanchengzi Incident" and also performed amazingly in the suppression of bandits. It's just that keeping a low profile is the tradition of this army and is not known to outsiders. The special operations brigade has been expanded into a special operations brigade. It is a personal soldier of the young marshal and is currently the most powerful unit in the Fengjun Army.
The land reform and industrial construction in Northeast China are in full swing. It is not an exaggeration to describe the young commander as having a lot of things to do every day. What can you do to yourself? Both of them are Zhang Hanqing's confidants who were selected from the crowd. It is their desire to make achievements and they are full of excitement before accepting the task. After all, according to usual practice, the young commander must have something very important to deal with, just like the "Kuanchengzi Incident" years ago.
Unusually, the young marshal was sitting in the study room of the marshal's mansion instead of the living room, and the one accompanying him was Zhang Zuolin! Zhang Hanqing's guard captain Jiang Huanan personally stood in front of the hall to greet him, and all other people stayed away. This atmosphere made the two of them feel the importance of what they wanted to talk about today.
Zhang Hanqing waited for the two of them to sit down and directly arranged the task, which was to try to find out the gold stored in Omsk by Tsarist Russia and try to obtain it. The young marshal emphasized: "One thing that must be paid attention to is that the Soviet Russia or the Japanese or anyone else cannot know that it was obtained by Fengjun, otherwise all the previous achievements will be wasted!"
Although they knew that the young marshal's task must be very difficult, when they learned about this task, their brains still couldn't help but buzz.
Robbery of gold! Tsarist Russia’s gold! A full 600 tons of gold!
Historically, in Northeast Asia, there was an unsolved case that still bothers Russians today. This is the mystery surrounding the disappearance of 600 tons of Tsarist Russian gold. For this reason, the gold dispute between Russia and Japan lasted for more than 80 years.
In official history, after the outbreak of World War I, the Russian army retreated steadily on the battlefield. By the next year, the German army was approaching Petrograd, the Russian capital. For safety reasons, the Tsar ordered the transfer of the country's gold reserves to the rear. Soon, about 600 tons of gold bars and coins were transported to Kazan.
At the beginning of 1918, this batch of gold had been stored in Kazan for three years. At this time, Soviet Russia had been established, but the domestic situation had not stabilized. In March 1918, Soviet Russia signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany and withdrew from the First World War. The Allied Powers such as Britain, France, the United States, and Japan were very frightened by the socialist revolution in Russia. They used Russia's independent peace agreement as an excuse to dispatch troops to intervene in Soviet Russia. Counter-revolutionary forces in Russia also took the opportunity to cause chaos, and several white bandits occupied the country. Covered a large area of ??land.
In the turbulent situation, the value of the gold in Kazan was even more evident. Both the Red Army and the White Army realized that this gold might have an important impact on the course of the civil war, because it could purchase a large amount of military equipment and supplies, thereby changing both sides. power comparison. In August 1918, Petrov, a white bandit officer, led an army to raid Kazan and seized the gold.
After learning about the missing gold, the Red Army quickly launched an attack on Petrov's troops. In order to keep the gold, Petrov handed the gold to Kolchak, the leader of the White Army. At that time, GoreChak is one of the largest white bandit leaders in Russia. He calls himself the "Supreme Governor of Russia" and has received recognition and support from the West, Japan and other countries.
After receiving this batch of gold, Kolchak was overjoyed. He quickly transferred the gold to his hometown of Omsk. According to the records left at the time, this batch of gold totaled 583 tons.
For Zhang Hanqing, who loved reading about the unsolved mysteries of history in his previous life, this huge wealth has been coveted for a long time. If there are no historical changes, it will not be long before this "Supreme Governor of Russia" will be completely defeated by the devastating attack of the Soviet Russian army. On the way to the Far East along with the gold, Kolchak will meet in Irkuts. Gram was caught and immediately executed.
And that gold would be partially “exploited” by the Cossack cavalry near Chita under the protection of Petrov, and then defrauded by the Japanese in Manchuria on harsh terms. It is estimated that the value of this gold was twice the national fiscal revenue of Japan at the time.
But what is ironic is that the Japanese troops stationed in Manchuria did not hand over the gold to the Japanese government. In the report they submitted, they did not mention Petrov's gold at all, but wrote: "On April 19, 1920, the troops encountered bandits near Manzhouli, annihilated all the enemies and captured many trophies. These trophies have been disposed of , offset daily expenses."
In fact, a considerable part of the gold was divided up by Japanese commanders. Historical data shows that after returning from China, a senior Japanese military officer became rich overnight, became the leader of Japan's largest political party, and began to compete for the throne of Prime Minister. Later, it was revealed that he had embezzled Russian gold in China, but the prosecutor who investigated the matter was mysteriously assassinated, and the case was eventually dropped.
The remaining gold was transferred by the Japanese army to a warehouse in northern Tokyo. Then, they played a deceitful trick: they first secretly moved the gold away, and then set the warehouse on fire. After that, the whereabouts of this batch of gold were completely unknown. From then on, this priceless gold led to the spat between Russia and Japan that lasted for 80 years, becoming a highlight before Zhang Hanqing traveled through time.
Gao Jiyi personally led the elites to the extremely cold places of Siberia to carry out the very important task solemnly assigned by the young marshal. Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing personally classified this task as top secret, and it was called "Operation Huang". (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

For the Northeastern Autonomous Government, which is in the early stages of economic construction, such a huge amount of wealth is enough to lay the foundation for economic take-off. According to the exchange rate at that time, one gram of gold was worth about 5 US dollars, 7 yen, or 9 silver dollars, which could be exchanged for more than 5 billion yuan in spot goods, which was about 30 times the total fiscal revenue of the three northeastern provinces in 1919!
Note, this refers to net income! According to the current scale, 300 Shenyang arsenals, 1,000 large mines such as Fushun Coal Mine can be built, and more than 100 Guard divisions can be armed!
Ji Yiqiao also fully understood the reason why the young marshal had always emphasized that the special operations brigade should adapt to the severe cold climate of Siberia and went to the extremely cold areas of Heilongjiang Province multiple times for adaptive training at this moment when everything was in vain. .
What he didn’t know was that Gao Jiyi had already sent a large number of intelligence personnel to have a detailed understanding of Siberia’s transportation, human geography, Soviet Russian, Japanese and White Army garrison conditions, and brought back a large number of maps.
It turns out that the young marshal has already been sharpening his sword and focusing on this.
Although he was confused at the time, he faithfully fulfilled his mission. Now it's time for the special operations brigade to conduct special operations, just waiting for the final news from Gao Jiyi.
It was less than two months before the Soviet army captured Omsk, and Kolchak also sensed a hint of danger. The war on the frontline was getting more and more unsatisfactory. Even Kolchak, who proclaimed himself "Russia's supreme ruler" and commander-in-chief of the army and navy, and was boasted by all the Allied media as "Russia's Washington", had to admit that his army was indeed Defeated.
Under such a good situation, how could it fail so quickly? Not long ago, I got Winston. When Churchill had to vow to "nip the Bolsheviks in the cradle", he recognized with military sensitivity that Soviet Russia would inevitably face tough opponents. Sure enough, shortly afterwards, 14 countries including Britain, France, Poland, the United States, and Japan dispatched troops to engage in a series of battles with the Soviet Red Army.
In mid-spring, more than 30,000 Czech regiments supported by the Mensheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries, mainly composed of former Russian Czech and Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war, mutinied;
In July, control of the Siberian Railway from Lake Baikal to the Ural Mountains;
On November 18, the government of the Mensheviks and the Socialist Revolutionaries was overthrown by a coup by the former Tsarist Russian admiral Kolchak. He also claimed to be the "Supreme Commander-in-Chief of All Russia" and commanded a huge team of no less than 100,000 people.
At first he was confident that he would win the war with the support of foreign intervention forces, but he soon found that the war situation was tilting against him, and their continuous victory came to an abrupt end in early 1919.
However, the good times did not last long. After Trotsky, the founder of the Soviet Red Army, rode an armored train to the front lines to supervise operations and sent guards to the battlefield many times, the morale of the Red Army was greatly boosted. On the Belaya River, several officer regiments of Kolchak's elite division were annihilated by the Red Army commanded by Tukhachevsky; the left wing of the battle line was counterattacked by the southern Red Army commanded by Frunze and could not be penetrated. Contact Denikin's front. From then on, the White Army failed to recover and retreated steadily. He, a naval admiral who had made many military exploits, could no longer reverse the decline on land.
In official history, until he was defeated and died, Kolchak failed to save the defeat. The following period was the process of the Soviet Red Army wiping out the remnants of the interventionist forces (mainly the Japanese) and the White Army (those who lost would become bandits). This was historically called the "1917 to 1922" period by the Soviet Union. Civil War and Armed Intervention”.
“Whether Kolchak is still unwilling to give in, that’s of course: a sudden defeat under a good situation was something that no one had expected at the time. He has the pride of the Russian navy, and surrender is impossible; with the way the Soviet Russian government treats the rebels, he will never end well. And he still has a glimmer of hope, which is to use the gold he has in his hands to wait for an opportunity to make a comeback.
However, if he is guilty of holding a jade, this pile of gold may even bring him death!
Within the coalition forces, the Allies who joined him in anti-Soviet Russia: the British, the French, the Czech general Zhi Gaida and the Cossack leader Semyonov had regarded him as an obstacle. They all wanted to occupy the country that was said to be extremely wealthy. of gold, no one cares about the life or death of the supreme consul. When the situation was critical in the first two months, they even wanted to hand him over to the Bolsheviks in exchange for leaving Russia safely. Under the cover of the nest, are there any eggs left? No matter how dull a soldier is, he will have to think about the future.
According to intelligence, Kolchak has placed all the gold on both sides of the railway and is closely guarded by his cronies. Once the situation changes, he can immediately take the bus to the east - in the far east, there are cities such as Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Irkutsk, etc. There is a vast world for him to do a lot. Although heading east is the path of no return that history has already designed for him.
"Zhang Hanqing doesn't care about Kolchak's life or death."?It's the guy on the east side. Even if you pass the Japanese level and come to Semyonov's territory in the east, he is your old rival. Are you willing to succumb to others? "
As the saying goes, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." Mao Zedong also said, "Where there are people, there are left, center, and right." The "intervention forces" are not monolithic: Britain and the United States support Kolchak in establishing a dictatorial military regime, while Japan supports Xie Mionov was his agent in the Far East, and the conflict between the two parties has been fierce.
Even when the fighting between the Red and White armies was the most intense and the unification of military orders was most needed, Japan was forced to recognize Kolchak under pressure, but on the other hand it was unwilling to abandon Semyonov. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 373 Lobbyist (Part 2)

This kind of conflict between Japan, Britain and the United States made the U.S. government simply decide to withdraw its troops from Siberia in early 1920. At the same time, in order to prevent Japan from becoming dominant, it asked Japan to withdraw its troops together. The result was that the pressure on Soviet Russia in the Far East was reduced, forcing the Japanese army to shrink its troops and reduce its defense area in the face of the severe situation.
The Japanese army later fell into the quagmire of the Far East one after another and was unable to survive alone. After struggling for another two years, it sadly withdrew its troops. This is not unrelated to this. The short-sightedness of the Japanese government is evident from this. No wonder foreign media commented after the war, "Japan is a first-rate citizen and elected a third-rate government."
But at this time, Japan’s military strength in Eastern Siberia was extraordinary. There is no way, the Japanese government regards the Far East as a second country, and only shifted its focus to Northeast China when it failed.
Kolchak is cunning, otherwise he would not have been chosen as the leader of the great powers. He looked at the humble Easterner in front of him with some mockery: "No matter how unreliable the Japanese government is, it is much stronger than your army. You keep saying that the army can protect me, why can't you protect the Middle East Route?"
In his mind, this distant neighbor to the east has always been the table meat of the Russian bear. It has basically been ravaged by it with almost no power to fight back. Now, it actually wants to be its own protector beyond its capabilities! Hum, although Russia is in a bad situation, but even so, he can stir up a storm in China with just a finger!
is not that right? As far as he knew, when Russia was undergoing such drastic changes and the new regime almost lost control of the entire Far East and Siberia, the Republic of China government did not dare to forcefully gain control of the Middle East Road and wanted to gain it through negotiation. This shows its weak nature. In this case, as a member of the local government, what can we do to make a deal with him!
So what he asked was a bit heart-wrenching, a bit sarcastic. However, Gao Jiyi looked calm. He smiled slightly and said: "The Middle East Road has been unconditionally handed back to our country and is actually under our management. According to the agreement reached by Marshal Fengjun and the United States and Japan three months ago, Fengjun has full authority." Guarding the entire Eastern Route, the general’s intelligence system may be out of date!”
Kolchak was startled. It turns out that, as expected, the situation in the far east is no longer what I thought it was?
His surprise fell in Gao Jiyi's eyes. However, his conversation continued: "General, you think the Japanese soldiers are well-fed and can be used as backup? In fact, you are completely wrong. The Japanese soldiers are now in a difficult position and cannot protect themselves." He analyzed the Japanese soldiers in the Far East and Siberia deployment.
In the Japanese strategic plan, the 12th Division was stationed in Primorsky Oblast, Amur Oblast and Temple Street (Nikolaevsk), the 3rd Division was stationed in Zabaikal Oblast east of Bolzia, and the 7th Division was stationed in Zabaikal Oblast east of Bolzia. Transbaikal Oblast west of Borzia and my country's Heilongjiang Province.
"However, the Zhang family and his son firmly controlled the Middle East Road, which frustrated the Japanese's hope of quickly supplying the frontline troops through this railway. Zhang Hanqing first declared "neutral", then compromised but insisted on paying for the use of the railway and gave priority to meeting the needs of the Chinese military and civilians. Therefore, this logistics line was not reliable. As a last resort, the Japanese army still used the Outer Xing'anling section of the Trans-Siberian Railway for supplies. Far away and often under the threat of severe weather.
There are also the activities of resistance organizations in various places, which have led to the increasingly large escort team and the Japanese army's logistics troops becoming more and more strenuous, which directly led to some of the frontline troops participating in the war to be responsible for logistics support on the spot.
Later, because the Japanese army felt the shortage of troops, it transferred additional 14th Division (end of March), 16th Division (end of May) and 5th Division (end of June) from the mainland to the Soviet Far East. This is Japan's main force in the Far East and Northeast China. With the strength of just six divisions, how easy is it to control such a vast area?
As the situation improved, the guerrillas led by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union developed rapidly in the triangle area between the Ergun River and Shilka. They defeated the attack of more than 1,500 soldiers of the Belarusian bandit army Semyonov and occupied the Mozambique Amur Railway. The railway section from Gorcha to Zilovskoye interrupted this transportation line for half a month, posing a serious threat to the Japanese troops on the front line.
So the Japanese Fifth Division and part of the Third Division (one and a half battalions) launched a crusade against the Soviet guerrillas. However, their frenzied suppression not only failed to bring the Soviet people to surrender, but instead aroused stronger resistance from the people. The Soviet guerrillas The team took advantage of the cold winter to launch guerrilla activities. On the one hand, the Japanese troops were scattered and on fire, causing a lot of criticism internationally. On the other hand, the huge logistical supplies of the interventionist army dragged down Japan's domestic economy, which caused widespread resentment among the people. The morale of the Japanese interventionist army was seriously low.
With no hope of victory, the cold Far East and Siberia have no conditions for development to gain benefits. Given time, Japan’s national strength will not be able to bear it.?Such consumption. Therefore, Gao Jiyi concluded that the Japanese army must be defeated, and if it loses, it must retreat - this was Zhang Hanqing's prediction.
Kolchak looked at the little Chinese in front of him, his heart racing.
"He is telling the truth", this is the conclusion from the bottom of my heart. When the balance of the war turned against him, in order to prepare for a retreat, he had sensitively dispatched many intelligence personnel to the Far East. The feedback received was not optimistic. The intelligence also briefly mentioned the improvement and influence of Fengjun's status (with some attention, because Gao didn't think highly of the Chinese army yet), otherwise he would have thought without hesitation that the Chinese was just talking nonsense.
????????????????????? However, the Northeast government and army really have such great power that they dare to challenge the Soviet Union? Dare to refuse the Japanese army’s requisition of the railway? In my impression, the yellow "sick man of East Asia" has always been submissive to foreigners from the East and the West. When did he dare to stand up and be a man?
Gao Jiyi struck while the iron was hot: "I heard that the Japanese once proposed to you that if you agreed to have the Japanese army 'protect' Russia's gold, the Japanese army would send troops to repel the Red Army, but you rejected the Japanese's 'good intention'. Japan is an ambitious country, and Russia has a blood feud. Its aggression in the Far East (the word aggression is used here is wonderful) can prove that this is a short-sighted nation with no vision and extremely aggressive. It is difficult to imagine that if you join the Japanese, they I’ll be kind enough to help you.”
"Frankly speaking, this wealth is in the hands of the Japanese. Based on their tradition of subjugating their superiors, in order to embezzle this money, you will most likely lose both your life and wealth. You are extremely unwise to the general."
Arrogance requires capital. At the moment when his life was at stake, Kolchak gave up his arrogance. He knows that once one life-saving straw is thrown away, there may not be another one waiting for him. He couldn't suppress his surprise and said to Gao Jiyi in a more humble manner: "Mr. Gao said that I still have a way to the south. What do you think?"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? It was his question that Gao Jiyi was waiting for. Here are the results deduced by Zhang Hanqing based on the international trend. As long as you are willing to mention it, I am sure that you will follow my direction.
But he still said sincerely: "With Soviet soldiers in the west and Japanese soldiers in the east, the only way the general can take is to go south into Mongolia. At this stage, Mongolia's relations with Soviet Russia, Japan and the Central Committee are all It's very subtle. According to the existing treaty, neither the Soviet Union nor Japan has any reason to enter Mongolia. Here, the general can rest and recuperate."
This is true. As we all know, China has always been the suzerainty of Mongolia, and Manchuria and Mongolia have been one family since the establishment of the Qing Dynasty. Even in the weak late Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty was still able to firmly control this fat grassland. Tsarist Russia was able to delimit the vast Far East and the three Balkhash Lakes west of the Congling Mountains in the northwest, but it could not swallow up Mongolia in its heart. It was like a hungry wolf in a cage salivating but helpless in front of a helpless lamb. Same. The reason for this is that on the one hand, Mongolia was the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and on the other hand, the main reason was that the Mongolians were centered.
But Kolchak suddenly asked: "I can decide for myself whether to enter Mongolia. Mongolia is also quite far away from your so-called Northeastern government. It can be said that it is beyond reach. So you lions want half of the gold. Do you think I would agree?"
Gao Jiyi smiled slightly and said: "Mongolia belongs to China. In the current China, only our faction has the strength and conditions to carry out operations in Mongolia. After we recaptured Hulunbuir, Mongolia was close at hand, but it blocked the Japanese army from entering Mongolia. Channel. The Republic of China is still a sovereign country. I think the Japanese army has no reason and we will not allow them to send troops across our borders. Going south is undoubtedly the safest and most secure way. The Northeast Autonomous Government has completed The full equipment of the 10 reorganized divisions is far from what it used to be. This is one of the important reasons why Fengjun has made such a big move in the Northeast and Japan has rarely shown any signs of it.
And as far as I know, the next step for our army is to enter Mongolia. When the general entered Mongolia, it was when the Feng clan actually took control of Mongolia. Mongolia has its own special situation compared to other provinces in China, and it should formulate special policies. As long as the general applies to enter as a refugee, I think the Soviet government will not interfere in our country's internal affairs. "
"I was ordered to come here with only one mission, and that is to advise the general. If we have to prepare for the worst, going to Mongolia is the only way out. In view of the increasingly fierce competition between the Fengjun and Japan in the Northeast, we will do our best to prevent any enemy the behavior of."
China and Japan are actually hostile countries that have not declared war, although no one has said it. The so-called capitalizing on the enemy means that this gold fell into the hands of the Japanese army. Kolchak could hear Gao Jiyi's subtext. However, he still asked calmly: "How can I believe that you will not let me lose my life and wealth like the Japanese did?"
Gao Jiyi smiled and said: "I can't prove to you, only the general makes the decision."
Kolchak is an excellent naval commander, but officers who have worked with him for many years described to the New York Times reporter: "He is undoubtedly a neurasthenic person who is often dominated by others."
Should we risk the threat of the Chinese and surrender to Japanese territory and accept an unknown fate, or should we take a gamble that the Chinese will fulfill their promises? He cannot be self-absorbed.
Maybe he will think of today’s meeting when he is about to leave, but Gao Jiyi is only cautiously optimistic about whether he can finally enter Mongolia according to Zhang Hanqing’s reminder. But what the young marshal assigned him was not just a lobbyist task. As a top-secret and very important plan, "Operation Aunt Huang" had just begun.

During the Russian Civil War, China was not idle either. However, with the support of Japanese imperialism, the Beiyang government of the Anhui clique, Duan Qirui, tried its best to expand its armed forces. Duan Qirui put forward the slogan of "unification by force" in an attempt to use the Zhili clique army to eliminate Sun Yixian's law-protecting military government and achieve the purpose of weakening the Zhili clique.
Politically speaking, Duan Qirui manipulated the "illegal" Anfu Congress (this was the common understanding of Sun Yat-sen, the Zhili clique, and the Feng clique) and elected Xu Shichang as president instead of Feng Guozhang, the leader of the Zhili clique.
This move made the Anhui clique very satisfied: now, there is no more dispute between the government and the court, the political arena is clean, and everyone is their own people. Although Xu Shichang is an old man from Beiyang, he has always stood as a mediator. The center had no military power, so he was "obedient and obedient" to Duan Qirui's actions. It was great, and the seeds of immediate anger were planted.
In terms of military affairs, after misappropriating part of the "Nishihara loan", he finally replenished the arms that had been robbed twice by the Feng clan. In January 1919, he successfully established the so-called "participating army" with three divisions and four mixed brigades. "For his direct line——the First World War is over, he still established it under this name, I am really speechless.
These armies have hired Japanese officers as consultants. Because of the hesitant relationship between the two sides, Japan has made real efforts to arm and train the Anhui army. Therefore, the Duan government has a tolerant and compromised attitude towards Japan's policy.
But there are also capable people in the Zhili clique. At least Wu Peifu is not willing to be fooled by him and sees the expansion of the Anhui clique. He does not work hard on the front line, so the military progress has been tepid. Under his leadership, the Zhili clique proposed "peaceful reunification" and confronted Duan with the support of British and American imperialism. The Feng clique, with the mentality of keeping a low profile and biding its time, based itself outside the border, ignored the political arena in Beijing, and was happy to see the conflict between the two sides come to fruition.
But a major event happened not long after, which forced Zhang Hanqing to temporarily give up this single-minded development process, and devote himself to the subsequent great changes with a broader perspective. After suffering decades of humiliation, the Chinese nation finally issued its strongest voice since the Opium War: the May Fourth Movement.
Sometimes Zhang Hanqing also secretly thinks that his emergence has accelerated the strength of the Northeast (Feng) clique and advanced the economic and military capabilities of the Northeast by more than 2 to 3 years. But why does history continue to follow its original trajectory? Do we have to do it again? one eight? A July 7th Incident? An eight-year war of resistance? And——a Nanjing Massacre?
But later he figured it out: his strength was too small, so small that he could only play a limited role in the Northeast. As for the international general trend, he has no ability to influence or change it. He can only be like ordinary people. The only difference is that he can open his eyes and watch history take its original path. But is this the result he wants?
The First World War ended in 1918 and Germany was defeated. On January 18, 1919, the victorious countries held a "Peace Conference" in Paris. The Beijing government and the Guangzhou military government jointly formed a Chinese delegation to participate in the peace conference as a victorious country. They proposed to cancel the various privileges of the great powers in China and to cancel the "Twenty-one" unequal treaty signed between Japanese imperialism and Yuan Shikai. , the return of various rights in Shandong that Japan took from Germany during the war and other demands.
This is the natural glory and right of the victorious country.
As for the privileges of Qingdao and Shandong, which were formerly occupied by Germany, because of Germany's defeat, they should return to China as the victorious country. This was also the small calculation of a group of central think tanks who set up to participate in the war.
Although they failed to send troops, more than 400,000 Chinese workers were sent out to work in France, Russia and other Allied countries. This objectively strengthened the power of the Allied Powers and accelerated the end of World War I. It also logically allowed the China became the "victorious nation". So when the news of victory in World War I came, Cai Yuanpei could not restrain his excitement and raised his arms and shouted: "Labour is sacred!" and "Long live labor!"
But the facts are telling: at the beginning of the Paris Peace Conference, the Western powers violated their commitment to treat China equally before entering the war. They only gave China two representative seats on the grounds that China's contribution was small, while Britain, the United States, France, Italy, and Japan each has five representative seats. Not to mention, the highest body of the peace conference is known as the "Conference of Ten". Each of the above-mentioned five countries has two representatives, and China is excluded.
What’s even more annoying is that Japanese representative Makino actually claimed that the Jiaozhou Bay Concession, the railway and all German rights in Shandong should be transferred to Japan unconditionally! The reason is that China did not send a single soldier to participate in the war, which is a typical "declaration" but not "war". Why does it enjoy these rights?
More than 20,000 Chinese laborers died on the battlefield, aren’t they human beings? The only Chinese officer who actively requested to participate in the war, Ma Yubao from the Kunming Lecture Hall, died on the battlefield of the Franco-German War on the eve of victory. How can it be said that no one participated in the war? !
Ma Yubao’s legacy? He was buried in the French Army Cemetery. A grand public memorial was held for him in his hometown of Kunming while the ink was still wet on the "Glory of Huang Zhou" written by Sun Yat-sen and "Light of the Nation" written by Li Yuanhong. Chen Rongchang wrote it himself. The biography is still being recited for thousands of people. On the plaque sent from the martyrs' hometown, there are clearly written four characters: "There are people in China!" How to say that there are no people in China to participate in the war? !
Gu Weijun, known as the "first diplomat of the Republic of China", prepared "Shandong Issues" for this purpose, urging China to regain Shandong. He said: "China cannot give up Shandong, the birthplace of Confucius, just like Christians cannot give up." "Like the Holy Land Jerusalem" shocked European and American representatives, reversed the situation of public opinion and won the sympathy of the great powers. U.S. Secretary of State Lansing later wrote: "Gu Weijun's speech was very convincing, and his arguments 'completely overwhelmed the Japanese.'"
But weak countries have no diplomacy, and this advantage based on sympathy is quickly defeated by political interests. After Italy withdrew from the peace conference due to a dispute over interests, Britain, France and the United States were afraid that Japan's withdrawal threat would take effect and cause the peace conference to abort, so they instead put pressure on Chinese representatives.
British Prime Minister Lloyd George and Gu Weijun said: "We all really want to help you, but since China signed the treaty with Japan first, we should respect the treaty."
U.S. President Wilson asked Lu Zhengxiang, then Minister of Foreign Affairs: "Why did China sign the Four Civil Treaties with Japan in 1915? Since the treaty has been signed, the seriousness of the treaty must be maintained!"
On April 30, the peace conference decided that "Germany's rights, privileges, railways, mines, submarine wires, state-owned movable and immovable properties in Shandong will be transferred to Japan." At this time, the head of the Chinese delegation, Lu Zhengxiang, left Paris, so Gu Weijun actually temporarily assumed the authority of the head of the delegation. Under his auspices, the Chinese delegation refused to sign the Treaty of Versailles. Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, British Prime Minister Louis George proposed that the matter be submitted to a special committee of Britain, France, and the United States for review.
On May 1, Chinese negotiator and Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang telegraphed the matter to the Beijing government, saying that failure to sign the contract would be detrimental to the abolition of consular jurisdiction, cancellation of the Boxer Indemnity, tariff autonomy, compensation for losses, etc. .
The Foreign Affairs Commission of the Beijing Government (a presidential think tank) held an emergency meeting and decided not to sign a contract. "Beijing News" of Shanghai's "Mainland News": "The government received a call from the Chinese delegation in Paris, saying that the diplomatic war with Japan regarding the return of the Jiaozhou lease has failed."
But because the Duan government wanted to seek help from Japan, on May 2, the Beijing government sent a secret message to Chinese representatives to sign the contract. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 375 May 4th Movement
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
This was done in such an unethical manner that even the British and American people could not stand it.
The Times of London accused the British government of betraying China, saying: "Although China made sacrifices for the war, she was treated like a defeated country."
The American "Boston Record" believed that the Paris Peace Conference's treatment of Shandong was a "rude and barbaric plunder"; the New York "Voice" believed that this was the "most despicable act" in the history of imperialist diplomacy; the US Minister to China Paul- Reinsch resigned angrily in protest of Wilson's betrayal of China.
Paper cannot contain fire. Lin Changmin, the Secretary-General of the Foreign Affairs Commission (the uncle of Lin Huiyin, a talented woman from the Republic of China), who learned of this incident, wrote in the Morning Post and the National Gazette: "Shandong has perished, and the country will no longer be a country. We are willing to unite the 40,000 people to fight to the death."
Once the news spread, public opinion was greatly excited. So on May 4th, students from Beijing Vocational School and above suspended classes to demand the punishment of Cao Rulin, Lu Zongyu, and Zhang Zongxiang. Poor Cao, Lu, and Zhang, they were inexplicably branded "traitors" by the central government.
Zhang Hanqing is clear about the results of the "May 4th Movement". When he "learned" that Japan was exerting influence on the Shandong issue, he expressed to the Feng army officials his determination to overthrow the "Duan" and the great benefits of the current political opposition to the "Duan" to the Feng clique. After the Hulunbuir and Middle East Road issues were quickly resolved, the Fengcheng clique, especially the military and political leaders headed by Zhang Zuolin, had a deep understanding that the power of the Fengcheng clique was no longer what it used to be. In addition to their expanded ambitions, they were determined to take another step outside the Guan. .
In fact, even if the Fengcheng faction does not intervene, the situation will be one-sided in favor of patriotic students. But if the People's Party wants to truly guide the people in public opinion, inspire the people spiritually, and lead the people ideologically, it is the best way to use this opportunity to open fire on the government. There is no need to worry about any retaliatory moves by the central government. After this incident, the government's prestige has been ruined. It seems that the Anhui War in 2009 and the Anhui clique temporarily withdrawing from the stage of history happily are not accidental, because of its popular support. has been lost.
Of course, Feng’s statement was fully prepared. On this issue, it is time to make one's voice heard and declare to the world that the Fengcian clique, together with the Zhili clique and the Anhui clique, formed the troika of the Beiyang government of the Republic of China, and officially entered the stage of history.
As a foreshadowing, on May 4, the People’s Party, which was the first to learn of the incident, launched massive protests across the Northeast. Zhang Hanqing has been fully planning for this event for a long time, and has been planning the parade in private for nearly a month with strict organization and discipline.
He used the "Fengtian Times" as the mouthpiece of the Northeastern Autonomous Government, and the "People's Party Daily" under the control of the People's Party as the joint voice of workers, farmers, businessmen, soldiers, and intellectuals, and published several consecutive editorials to the Beijing government: "The country is about to perish, and everyone is responsible", "Three names written down, the country will lose one hundred thousand people", "The central day is over, and the people are still at night", fired at Duan Qirui's government.
In "The Night of the Common People", Zhang Hanqing even used Duan Qirui as his target, electrifying both China and foreign countries: "When the country is about to perish, there will be evildoers. The servility is not lost, and the charm is natural. After three years on the stage, his treasonous achievements have been so outstanding, he is ordered to With such a corpse lying there, does our country still have any land? Do our people still have human beings?" and asked Duan Qirui to resign to apologize.
The government did not respond. Obviously, they did not expect that this signing event from outside the customs would create such a big momentum that Duan Qirui's government convened the shogunate for discussions all night and could not come up with a complete response plan. Come.
Early the next morning, Zhang Hanqing called again and rebuked Duan Qiruining for trying to maintain his position at the expense of national interests: "Let others laugh and scold, but I am a good official."
Sharp calls from outside the country led to a nationwide uproar against the government. When the news spread, Peking University students were the first to start a student wave within the country. Influenced by this, Beijing Normal University and other schools responded immediately. As the news spread, students and shops went on strike across Beijing.
At the same time, the people of the three northeastern provinces launched a massive movement against the signature outside the customs. Larger strikes, class strikes, and market strikes were launched in the northeast. Of course, the leaders of this movement were the People’s Party’s party organizations among students, chambers of commerce, and Unions, more than a million people took part in the rally.
The large-scale demonstration marked the People's Party's entry onto the historical stage as an independent political force. As the leader of the People's Party and the initiator and organizer of this movement, Zhang Hanqing emerged with a patriotic and radical face. Steal the show.
Things are simmering, but instead of clarifying the matter, the authorities are responding with fierce force. The Beijing government dispatched military police and arrested hundreds of students, worsening the situation. Zhang Hanqing first denounced this behavior and sent another telegram: "Anyone who uses force to suppress thoughtful patriots will not end well in history." He also called on the whole country toThe people unite: "Arm up to destroy this traitorous government"!
In his article "Old China is Dead", he listed the various unequal treaties signed by China since the Opium War, as well as China's deteriorating international status, and passionately expressed the hope that China should "put it to death and survive". The immortal masterpiece "Phoenix Nirvana" is also a magnificent battle cry:
“In the sky as New Year’s Eve approaches,
A pair of phoenixes flying around,
Flying away singing a mournful song,
The fragrant wood flew with branches in its mouth,
Flying over Danxue Mountain. …”
In the noisy school, young Yu Yifan was reading this majestic declaration-style funeral song and hymn in ecstasy. For the young and handsome "little uncle", the girl always had some unexplainable feelings in her heart, but she knew it was impossible, but she still couldn't stop paying attention to his every move, in the newspapers, in the legends
"Little uncle" is a very kind and sunny boy, and he has a masculine and heroic spirit that ordinary boys don't have, which is intoxicating.
“We are him, and they are me.
There is you in me, and I am in you.
I am you,
You are me. …”
How I wish I could be reborn from the ashes with my uncle and open a new chapter in my life.
“Where has the freshness gone when we were young?
Where has the sweetness of our youth gone?
Where has the glory of our youth gone?
Where has the love of our youth gone? …”
Yu Yifan wandered off without a care in the world, and she felt an indescribable discomfort all over her body, making her restless. When she read "Only Singing", she could no longer hold back the excitement in her heart and burst into tears.
The influence of "Phoenix Nirvana" not only infected Yu Yifan, giving her the belief to burn herself in the fire for the first time, but also inspired countless college students, progressives and countless intellectuals who are forging ahead bravely. It was later considered to express the spirit of the times and was the glorious starting point of China's new poetry drama (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 378 Please respect the independence of the judiciary
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Wang Ruizhi, the former director of the Trial Department of the Liaoning High Court and now the director of the Northeast Judicial Committee, who also admired the young marshal greatly, was inspired by it. He and Wang Ruizhi, who was the secretary of the young marshal, the director of the Xinmin Judicial Commission, and the current secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the People's Party Together with Wu Jiaxiang, at the initiative of Northeastern legal circles, we launched a large-scale, long-lasting and far-reaching discussion: the relationship between party rule and the rule of law.
The People's Party's influence is growing. There is basically no doubt that the People's Party will finally gain power in the Northeast. It is not impossible to seize power nationwide in time. But when that day comes, under the premise that "the party | leads the country" in Zhang Hanqing's founding purpose of the party, the party's power will Which one is greater than legal power?
Since the Qing Dynasty, "European winds and beautiful rains have rushed eastward", and theories and political systems including constitutionalism and separation of powers were introduced into China, starting an experiment in constitutionalism. In line with this, a set of Western-style judicial concepts and systems with judicial independence as the main purpose have also begun to develop in China. After the founding of the Republic of China in 1912, it continued. Many laws and constitutions during the Beiyang government period also have the same or similar provisions, reflecting the country's demands for judicial independence and transcending party politics during the Beiyang era.
But in official history, starting from the 1920s, with the rise of the National Revolution and the establishment of the Kuomintang party-state system, the "non-party" judiciary promoted in the Beiyang period was gradually "incorporated" into the Kuomintang party-state system, and the judiciary began to be "Kuomintang-oriented." After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this system design continued. Although the establishment of courts and procuratorates to handle cases independently has gradually brought China into the track of legalization, the position of secretary of the political and legal committees set up in governments at all levels is still given to The construction of the rule of law brings some problems. Many contemporary Chinese people are also asking: Which party is the Party Congress or the Law Congress?
Zhang Hanqing felt that it was necessary to give an explanation to the Chinese people, although he himself had been struggling from before to after the time travel.
He admires the rule of law in countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States. Due to years of construction, they have formed a fairly complete system; while in China, due to the lingering poison of two thousand years of feudal society, the idea of ????the rule of man is deeply rooted, and the phenomenon of power being greater than the law has been repeatedly banned. "Official | The contempt for the law among the "second generation" people is deep in their bones. Otherwise, how could there be such a strange incident as "My father is Li Gang" that angered countless Chinese people?
The reason why later generations of Chinese people feel that the party's power is greater than legal power is because it reflects some actual phenomena: some party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, do not have a strong sense of the rule of law, do not follow procedures when making decisions, and do not act in accordance with laws and regulations. Even using words to replace the law, using power to suppress the law, and bending the law for personal gain. The existence of these phenomena has seriously affected the people's confidence in the rule of law, giving rise to the feeling that "power is greater than the law" and "the party is greater than the law."
But if you look deeper, "Which should be the Party Congress or the Law Congress" is actually a false proposition. Because logically speaking, the essence of the party is a political organization, and the essence of law is rules of conduct. There is no question of who is bigger between the two, otherwise they will fall into a discourse trap. If you say that the party is greater than the law, it means that the rule of law and the rule of law are false; on the contrary, it seems that there is something wrong with the leadership of the party!
This is also something that Zhang Hanqing has been solving and has now made breakthrough progress in regulation: using the rule of law to regulate party members and using the party constitution to guide the rule of law. The two are not in conflict. When it is in principle, it embodies the leadership of the party, and when it is concrete, it embodies the spirit of the rule of law. The so-called specificity is that as an individual People's Party member, no matter how big his position is, as long as he violates the national law, he cannot be dealt with only by party discipline, but the national law must also be taken into account. In a word, if a party member breaks the law, the punishment is the same as that of a non-party member.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing not only affirmed the party's leadership role in the construction of the legal system, but also avoided the possible interference of the party's power on the rule of law. In the practice of Xinmin administrative management, he resolutely did not set up political and legal committee secretaries to manage the company, procuratorate, law, and departments. Instead, the party The deputy secretary's "contact" with the four teams is a design.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. To reflect the party's leadership role in the construction of the legal system, it is not necessarily necessary to install a political and legal committee secretary to manage it. It can be replaced by an institution or organization. For this institution or organization, Zhang Hanqing chose Parliament.
Since the parliament fully embodies the party’s intentions, it is good for the courts and procuratorates at all levels to be accountable to the parliament at all levels, and they will not deviate from the main premise of the party’s leadership. Parliament is supposed to supervise the government, so the courts and procuratorates that perform supervisory tasks in a legal sense can implement legal supervision of government employees without being restricted by government entities. This is true supervision. Otherwise, if the political and legal committee secretary who manages the court or procuratorate at the same level commits a crime, as a subordinate, how can he restrain and supervise his superiors? What's more, for a long period of time, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee was also a member of the Party Standing Committee at the same level, deciding the promotion fate of many party members and cadres in the two chambers at the same level?
According to this idea, the principles for handling violations by party members in the "Charter of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Chinese People's Party" were later formed, which was also the basis for the theory of the rule of law with Chinese characteristics.base. It continues to ferment in the Northeastern legal community, and colleagues as far away as Guanhai also smell the lingering fragrance.
Perhaps it is because the enthusiasm of the people in Wenli for protesting against the Duan government has not diminished since the May 4th Movement, or perhaps they feel that the Feng clique's statement has received strong support from domestic public opinion, so the central government considered it for several days. , finally chose to resolve the problem of damage to his reputation within the legal framework.
The Shanghai Public Settlement Tribunal accepted the Anfu government’s complaint and issued a subpoena to Shao Lizi, general manager of the Republic of China Daily, and Ye Chuqian, editor-in-chief. The two hired Lin Baijia as their defense lawyer. The case was heard on October 3 of the same year. The presiding judge was the British Vice Consul and the assessor was Chinese judge Yu Yingsun. On Chinese territory, cases brought against Chinese civilians by the Chinese government were tried by foreign colonists. This sounds unreasonable, but it happened many times in that chaotic era, including the 1903 "Soviet Report Case". The same happened in the Shanghai Concession. If the country is weak, it will be unable to resist being bullied by foreign countries.
In court, the defendant Ye Chuqian said righteously: "I have been writing newspapers for ten years. I am currently the editor-in-chief of the Republic of China Daily. I should bear the responsibility for publishing the newspaper, but I am not responsible for the defamation and insult to the president as claimed in the complaint. and the culpability of serving officials." ""Explanation of the Anfu Genealogy Table" is actually a criticism of policies in game text, and has no insulting meaning. This newspaper has the same original intention as the author, which is to have good politics in the hope | The government will revitalize China, make it prosperous and strong, and let the people enjoy peace, freedom and happiness."
The defendant’s lawyer Lin Baijia defended the two men, saying that the evidence submitted by the plaintiff was not sufficient to accuse of insult and defamation for the following reasons:
“1. According to the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of China, the people have freedom of speech;
2. The plaintiff’s case should require the Beijing government to send personnel to Shanghai to present sufficient evidence;
3. The defendant’s words are permitted by law and are for the good government of China and have no insulting meaning. "
Based on this request, the case is withdrawn and acquitted.
Anguo government lawyer Mu Ansu insisted that the defendant was guilty. He said, "This text is enough to make the people ridicule the president and serving officials. Not only does it cause contempt for the people and shame on the person on the day of the insult, but it also has a long-lasting legacy. We ask the court to respond from all four aspects." Consider the negative consequences of this text from all aspects, namely, the status of the person being insulted; the method of insult; the time and place of insult; and the status of the person." And another charge was added: "Once this text is published, the political | If an important person in the government is looked down upon, it will greatly hinder the future of the peace talks."
Based on this point, Lin Baijia gave a strong criticism: "The negotiations between the Beijing government and the Guangzhou law-enforcement government began as early as February 20 this year. Due to the lack of sincerity on the part of Beijing, the negotiations were completed on May 24 this year. It is well known that the agreement was terminated on September 15, 2020. What impact did this text have on the peace talks that ended on September 15, 100 days ago when the negotiations collapsed?"
The two sides argued fiercely. After the presiding judge, the British Vice Consul, and the Chinese assessor Yu Yingsun deliberated, they did not seize the declaration and severely sentence the reporter as expected by the Anguo government, nor did they acquit the reporter as advocated by lawyer Lin. "Explanation" Although this article insulted the president and government officials in words, it was "well-intentioned and valuable." In the end, Ye Chuqian and Shao Lizi were sentenced to a fine of 100 yuan each.
This verdict was very different from the expectations of Duan Qirui, Xu Shichang and others, and it was difficult to calm down his anger. Mu Ansu pointed out to the court that Ye Chuqian had two "conviction records" of dissatisfaction with the verdict, and demanded that the defendant be dealt with strictly and the punishment be increased. . The presiding judge believed that Mu Ansu was in contempt of the sessional court and sternly refused in court. At this point, the case of "Republic of China Daily" insulting the president that caused a sensation throughout the country was settled.
Zhang Hanqing came out at the right time to disgust Duan Qirui. Anyway, when the "May 4th Movement" was at its peak some time ago, he had a lot of wars of words with Duan Qirui's government, and his father also had a bad relationship with the Anhui army. This change in stakes cannot be undone by any words of flattery. In this case, just offend him until death.
He sent a congratulatory message to Shao Lizi and Editor-in-Chief Ye Chuqian, and said, "This is a precedent for the success of the rule of law in the Republic of China." He also said that the Judicial Committee under the Northeast Autonomous Government will be responsible for the penalty of 200 yuan, if it is inconvenient for the two.
This is pure schadenfreude. There is still a big gap between the conditions of journalists in the Republic of China and that of ordinary people.
Later, someone satirized the incident in the newspaper and said: "The reputation of the president is only worth two hundred dollars." After this incident, the Republic of China Daily became famous. After this case, Duan Qirui, Xu Shichang and others became the laughing stock of the people across the country. The "Anfu clique" was disgraced and the Anhui clique could not hold their heads up for a long time. Not only did they lose the political battle, but the psychological shadow may be even greater. big.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of humiliation and anger can be imagined, and they must want to severely punish the newspaper and the author. However, their first thought was not to arrest first and then try, but to seek and only seek a solution within the legal framework.
At the same time, after the court issued a judgment of only a fine, although they were angry, they surrendered and obeyed, and did not harm others again, which shows that they still have the concept of the rule of law in their minds and did not use their rights to vent their personal anger and override the law.
Ruled by the rule of law rather than by people, the judicial independence of Beiyang during this period shines with eternal glory in the history of the Chinese nation. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Solved in the rack.

Chapter 379 Outer Mongolia|Independent Incident

Since the large-scale construction of the Liaoning Arsenal, Fengjun's equipment has been upgraded to a new level, and Fengjun's strength has also improved by leaps and bounds, so the Anhui clique has also stationed heavy troops for defense near Rehe. In the situation where the pass is temporarily out of reach, it would be a clever move to open up the situation from the north.
So after the domestic events gradually subsided, Zhang Hanqing turned his attention to Outer Mongolia.
There have been many nomadic ethnic groups that have thrived on the Mongolian Plateau from ancient times to the present, such as the Huns, Rourans, Uighurs, Turks, etc. During the Song Dynasty of China, the Turkic forces faded out of the area and the Mongols moved in. All Mongolian tribes belonged to the Jin Dynasty. In the early 13th century, Genghis Khan, the leader of the Mongols, unified all the Mongolian tribes in the area and established the Mongol Empire. The Yuan Dynasty later established by Kublai Khan included most of what is now China, the Mongolian Plateau, and outer northeastern China.
During the Ming Dynasty, the remaining Mongolian forces retreated beyond the Great Wall to maintain the Northern Yuan regime and confront the Ming Dynasty. Later, the Manchu rulers formed an alliance with the tribes of Monan Mongolia (ie Inner Mongolia), entered the Central Plains, and established the Qing Dynasty. Other Mobei and Mongolian tribes gradually became vassals of the Qing Dynasty. As of the Republic of China, it was divided into administrative divisions, with 4 ministries, 2 regions, 116 banners, 4 ranches, and 36 subdivisions under its jurisdiction.
The relationship between various Mongolian ministries and the Qing government was quite different. They either married into Manchu rulers or were conquered by force. The ministries of Inner Mongolia, which are closer to the Qing regime, have a close relationship with the central government, while the Outer Mongolia, which is far away from the central government, namely Khalkha Mongolia or Mobei Mongolia, has a close relationship with the central government. Relations with the government have always been relatively distant.
The central government set up ministers in Kulun (today's Ulaanbaatar) to prevent the Mongolian separatist regime. Those who were annexed during the Nurhachi and Huang Taiji eras were called Inner Mongolia, and those who were later annexed were called Outer Mongolia. Those who had meritorious service to loyalty and Qin could continue to inherit the hereditary inheritance. Those who had doubts about loyalty and Qin, such as Chahar, were assigned Manchus as Chahars. Hardu ruled, Tumut was ruled by Suiyuan City generals, and the Daur people were dealt with in a similar way.
Starting from the 16th century, Tsarist Russia managed Siberia and began to communicate with Outer Mongolia. After the Opium War, while occupying China's northeastern and northwest territories, Tsarist Russia also deliberately sought to occupy our Mongolian region to realize its dream of "Yellow Russia". It successively formulated the "Miller Plan", "Muraviev Plan" Plan" and "Badamayev Plan" arrogantly proposed to occupy a large area of ??Chinese territory from Siberia to the foot of the Great Wall.
To achieve this goal, a series of despicable methods were used. However, the Sino-Russian treaty before 1870, although it severely damaged China's sovereignty, did not change the ironclad fact that Mongolia belongs to China.
But Tsarist Russia still has ambitions! The "Brenschi Boundary Treaty" and the "Kyakhta Boundary Treaty" signed by China and Russia in 1727 (collectively known as the "Brenschi Treaty") affirmed that Mongolia belonged to China. However, Tsarist Russia obtained the privilege of trading in Kyakhta and Outer Mongolia.
In 1854, the Governor-General of East Siberia Muravyov said, "Once a coup occurs in China, the new Chinese government should not be allowed to expand its power to Mongolia. In this case, Mongolia should be protected by Russia." Most of the unequal treaties signed between Tsarist Russia and the Qing government included clauses regarding Russia's interests in Mongolia. During this period, Russia vigorously promoted economic, cultural and military exchanges with various Mongolian ministries.
After the Revolution of 1911, as the rule of the Qing Dynasty gradually disintegrated, at the instigation of the Russian consul in Kulun, the eighth living Buddha of Outer Mongolia, Jebtsundamba, sent Hangda Dorji and Chelin Qimit as envoys to Russia. Tsarist Russia believed that the time had come to split Mongolia, so it began to cultivate pro-Russian forces and distributed weapons in large quantities to prepare for the independence of Outer Mongolia.
On November 30, the Russian and Mongolian troops surrounded the Mongolian Affairs Minister’s Office of the Qing government in Kulun, disarmed the Qing army, and escorted the Minister of Affairs Sanduo and his entourage out of the country. Jebtsundamba took the opportunity to declare the independence of Outer Mongolia (Uriyasutai) on December 28, appointed himself "Ezhen Khan" as the Emperor of Sunlight, and changed the Yuan Dynasty to share the title, but it was not widely recognized. A year later, the "Russian-Mongolian Agreement" and the "Special Commercial Treaty" were signed. These two treaties established that Tsarist Russia actually ruled Mongolia.
When the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar. From the government to the people, people were furious. Inner Mongolia also issued a solemn statement that it does not recognize all treaties of the Kulun puppet government.
On October 3, 1912, Kosowitz, the former Russian Minister to China, signed the "Russian-Kurban Treaty" with the Jebzundamba government in Cullen. In 1913, the Tsarist Russian authorities forced the Beiyang government under Yuan Shikai to sign the "China-Russia Statement" document. The statement stipulates: Outer Mongolia recognizes China's suzerainty and is part of China's territory. China and Russia recognize Outer Mongolia's autonomy. China is not allowed to station officials or troops in Outer Mongolia, nor is it allowed to immigrate. While Tsarist Russia can, Mongolian affairs need to be resolved by agreement between the two countries.
This treaty gave China the false title of suzerain, while Tsarist Russia still controlled Outer Mongolia. In 1915, the "China-Russia-Mongolia Agreement" was re-confirmed, confirming the 1913 document. Tsarist Russia was very satisfied with it. China, Russia and Mongolia signed the Agreement in Kyakhta on June 7, 1915.Bishi also interrupted at this time. He said that there were 3 million people in Inner Mongolia, while there were only 1 million in Outer Mongolia. The meaning was profound. In view of this information from China, Stalin sent a telegram to Mao Zedong, stating: "The leaders of Outer Mongolia advocate the merger of all Mongolian areas in China with Outer Mongolia in accordance with the principle of an independent and unified Mongolia. The Soviet government expressed its opposition to this A plan because it meant cutting off many areas from China, although this plan did not threaten the interests of the Soviet Union. We believe that even if all Mongolian areas are unified into an autonomous region, Outer Mongolia will not give up its independence | Immediately implement autonomy within Chinese territory. Naturally, the decision-making power on this matter belongs to Outer Mongolia itself!"
This is already an unmistakable threat. However, in view of the international situation after the founding of New China, it was impossible for China at that time to solve the Mongolian issue in the hands of the Soviet Union.
After the death of Stalin, Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou formally requested Mongolia from the Soviet leaders for the second time and were rejected. In the end, the issue of Outer Mongolia was left to future generations. So far, 1.566 million square kilometers of land no longer belong to China. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

According to the opinions of most of the military and political officials of the Feng Faction, the first priority for the Feng Army is to enter the Pass, and Mongolia, a bitter and cold land, does not interest them.
This is understandable, after all, a group of gangsters cannot foresee the changes that will happen decades later.
However, Zhang Hanqing denounced the public opinion and insisted that internal security must first fight against foreign aggression: Now that the Russian White Army and Red Army are trapped in the Soviet Union's civil war and have no time to take care of Outer Mongolia, Fengjun took advantage of this moment to regain Outer Mongolia in one fell swoop. Yearning for it, and it can also give the Japanese a warning: the Northeastern United Provinces Autonomous Government | must fight for every inch of land. Perhaps it can deter those militarist speculators who are taking chances with China's territory——nine years in history. It is true that hundreds of soldiers of the Kwantung Army first tentatively attacked the Peking University Camp during the January 8th Incident, but they succeeded without resistance due to a combination of circumstances. This kind of luck must not be allowed to survive in this time and space. The way is to show their attitude with a tough attitude.
And at this time, Mongolia was still legally a part of the Republic of China. The Soviet Union was inconvenient to express its stance on his actions, and on the other hand, it was powerless. It was like encountering an opponent whose hands and feet were tied in a boxing match. Another advantage is that Outer Mongolia is vast and borders the later "four northern provinces" of Chahar, Suiyuan, Ningxia, Gansu and Xinjiang. It can bypass the Zhili areas controlled by the powerful Anhui clique and Zhili clique and head towards the hinterland of China. develop. Although there are warlords there, they are weak and Fengjun can easily gain control and expand his territory.
As a later generation, Zhang Hanqing was not like most citizens at the time who believed that Outer Mongolia was a Gobi desert with no use value except for its vast geographical location. In his incomplete memory of his previous life, Mongolia’s forest coverage rate was 10%, and its total timber storage volume was 1.27 billion cubic meters; Outer Mongolia is one of the three largest livestock countries in the world; it is rich in mineral resources, and according to the geography of gold mining In terms of location and conditions, the Tula River Basin is considered to be one of the largest alluvial gold production areas in the world. The copper-molybdenum mine has been listed as one of the top ten copper-molybdenum mines in the world, ranking first in Asia; in addition, there are huge reserves It is even richer in coal, iron, phosphorus, petroleum, rare earths, etc. than Inner Mongolia (in terms of geological plate structure, Inner Mongolia and Mongolia both belong to the Mongolian massif, including northern Shaanxi). Just look at the rich mineral resources in northern Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia. Mongolia is so rich in mineral resources.
This is a treasure trove!
At this time, the Russian Red Army and the White Army were engaged in a civil war, which ended less than a year later. After another two years of preparation, the Soviet Union was established across the Eurasian continent in 1922, and from then on it became stronger. If we do not use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely resolve the issue of Outer Mongolia, once the Soviet Union calms down and starts coveting Mongolia again, if something unexpected happens, the Chinese nation will really be doomed.
At Zhang Hanqing's strong request, the Northeastern United Provinces Autonomous Government sent a telegram to the entire country on July 25, demanding that the Chinese government denounce Outer Mongolia's independence and order the Outer Mongolia Autonomous Government to cancel its autonomy in order to "improve Mongolia's future status." Based on the "64 Articles" document, we will return to the embrace of China.
The "parliament" of Outer Mongolia, controlled by Soviet Russia, ignored it. Instead, it voted three days after the power was turned on and refused to recognize the "64 Articles for Improving Mongolia's Future Status" on the grounds that the majority of members rejected it. This move angered the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government and made the results public. As a result, there was an uproar across the country and the public was furious.
On July 29, Zhang Hanqing took the oath from Shenyang and vowed to the whole country that "anyone who offends our strong men will be punished no matter how far away they are." He personally established the "Anmeng Army" with the Ji Yiqiao Special Battle Brigade, Guo Songling Guards Division, and Han Linchun First Division as the team. Zhang Hanqing was appointed commander of the "Anmeng Army", with Han Linchun as deputy commander, Guo Songling as chief of staff, and Wang Yizhe as director of the political department.
Considering that Mongolia was too far away, Guo Songling took 3,000 more war horses with him after replenishing supplies in Hailar. The external explanation was that it would be convenient to supply in Mongolia. Sun Liechen added a special cavalry brigade of about 6,000 people on his behalf. Zhang Zuoxiang also transferred 18 mountain artillery pieces that had just left the Shenyang Arsenal and allocated an independent artillery battalion to strengthen his firepower, thereby increasing the strength of the "Anmeng Army" Rapidly expanded to more than 40,000 people. Compared with the official history, Xu Shuzheng only used 8,000 men to defeat the Outer Mongolian independence forces 8 months later. His much larger number of men could not achieve this effect, and he would be ashamed to death.
The reason why so many troops were used was actually because Zhang Zuolin wanted to "complete his achievements in one battle", kill chickens with a bull's-eye and reduce accidents. Zhang Hanqing also had the idea of ??taking advantage of the opportunity to set up his own business because the military development in the Northeast was unsatisfactory.
Considering the distance of Mongolia and the subsequent plan of the army to send troops to northwest China, the importance of logistical supplies is self-evident. It has become very important to choose a baggage candidate with certain ability and authority who can guarantee its expenses. Mi Chunlin, member of the Central Military Commission of the People’s Party and Minister of General Military Supplies, was appointed as the commander of the rear route army of the "Anmeng Army" and also in charge of logistics.
It has been decided to reopen the base area, and for those left behindThe arrangement of staff needs to be carefully considered. In terms of military affairs, with the departure of the main cadres such as Guo Songling, Han Linchun, Ji Yiqiao, and Wang Yizhe, it was enough to leave Lin Wei in the "Young Marshal's Office" to be responsible for military affairs and intelligence. Zhang Hanqing also left him with a task to conduct military operations in Northeast China. Feasibility study of the navy; in terms of party affairs, Zhu Guangmu has to follow him as his deputy chief. After the two secretaries Wang Yizhe and Zhu Guangmu left, Wu Jiaxiang, Han Shuxiu, and Jiang Dengxuan were left. Moreover, Jiang Dengxuan still took over as his own deputy to replace Zhang Zuoxiang. The candidate for the commander of the 27th Division——He needs to maintain his voice in the Northeast. Since it is time-consuming and laborious to rebuild a team, why not take over it directly? Because Zhang Zuoxiang expressed his opinion to Zhang Zuolin many times about resigning as division commander because he held many positions, Jiang Deng, who was a direct descendant of Zhang Hanqing, had a great chance of being selected, and he had already won Zhang Zuolin's favor.
Wu and Han cannot handle so many party members and party organizations in the Northeast. One of them focuses on discipline supervision, the other focuses on the women's movement, and they are not familiar with party affairs. Moreover, such a strong family cannot be suppressed by the two of them. This is the capital for Zhang Hanqing's start-up and future development!
So Mo Dehui was appointed to replace Jiang Dengxuan as the Organization Minister, and Chen Builei officially took over as the Propaganda Minister. Both of them were promoted to Secretariat secretaries at the same time. The People's Party's affairs in the Northeast are entrusted to five secretariat secretaries: Wu Jiaxiang, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Mo Dehui, the new organization minister, Han Shuxiu, secretary-general of the Land Reform Commission and director of the Women's Movement, Jiang Dengxuan, who is about to go to the military, and Chen Builei, the new propaganda minister. , with Chen Brai in charge. In addition, because Wang Yizhe accompanied Anmeng of the First Division, the secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee also changed his position as his deputy.
In response to the special treatment he received from the young marshal in such a short period of time, Chen Bulei developed a sense of mission that "a scholar will die for his confidant." In return, he took the initiative to move his family to Shenyang to show that he and the young marshal fought together. The meaning of force. Mo Dehui also officially joined the core of the People's Party. His important position as Minister of Organization and Secretary of the Jilin Provincial Party Committee fully demonstrated the Marshal's trust in him, so he was even more grateful.
Tan Hai was a little unhappy. As one of the people closest to Zhang Hanqing, he was asked to stay and take charge of the security work of the Marshal's Mansion, while Jiang Huanan was able to follow Zhang Hanqing as the captain of the bodyguard as he wished. Because Zhang Zuolin's safety has always been arranged by Zhang Hanqing, and now that he is gone, he needs someone capable to take over his responsibilities.

Chapter 382 Tenderness of a Tough Man
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
It has been half a month since they entered Mongolia, and they were getting closer and closer to Kulun. They saw Langjuxu Mountain lying across the horizon in the distance, and more and more herders were seen on the road. There were no birds or magpies along the way, not even the most common sparrow in the world. But as we moved forward, the desolation that we could see was replaced by clumps of green. The tired mentality of the officers and soldiers was suddenly infected by the long-lost fragrance of earth, and their morale became active.
When Zhang Hanqing was in primary school and middle school, his most profound impression of the Great Wall was that “the sky was blue, the fields were vast, and the grass was blown by the wind and cattle and sheep could be seen.” But the scene in front of him was very different from what he had imagined: except for the area around Kent Mountain, Mongolia is almost everywhere - that is to say, the whole country is the Gobi Desert. Where can the wind blow the grass and see the cattle and sheep?
He asked about Guo Songling, and Guo Songling laughed and said: "Young Marshal, the place where you can see cattle and sheep under the wind and grass is around the Yinshan Mountains in Monan Mongolia in ancient times!" Zhang Hanqing thought for a while and said with a smile: "No, ancient poems It says: 'Chile River, at the foot of Yinshan Mountain. The sky shines on the sky, and the surrounding fields shine on it.' In my impression, I always thought it was about this place."
The guide with the army smiled and said: "Young Marshal, this is Kent Mountain. The place where Huo Qubing inscribed his achievements in the Han Dynasty, but it is much further away from Yinshan Mountain. Not far from here to the west is Guyan Mountain. It will take many days to reach Yanran Mountain. , and then cross Checheerleg, the fourth part of Uliasutai, and Khovd, and then we can reach Yinshan Mountain."
Zhang Hanqing said in surprise: "I remember it was said in history that Huo Qubing was the title of Lang Juxu?"
The guide smiled: "Langjuxu is Kent Mountain, and Yanran Mountain is now Hangai Mountain."
"Back here, Huo Qubing paused temporarily and led his army to conduct a ceremony to worship heaven and earth. The ceremony of worshiping heaven was held at Langjuxu Mountain, and the Zen ceremony of worshiping earth was held at Guyan Mountain. This is a ceremony, and it is also a ritual. Such determination. After banishing the wolf to Juxu, he continued to lead his army to pursue the Xiongnu in depth, and fought all the way to the Hanhai (today's Lake Baikal, Russia) before returning. Starting from Chang'an, he rushed to Lake Baikal, in an almost completely unfamiliar environment. A huge victory along the way, what an achievement!
After this battle, ‘the Huns fled far away, and there was no royal court in the south of the desert’. Huo Qubing and his "Seal the Wolf in Xu" have since become the highest pursuit and lifelong dream of Chinese soldiers of all generations. Huo Qubing was only 23 years old this year. Of course, the glory of the Han family was the shame of the Xiongnu, and even later generations felt uncomfortable, so they changed the name. "
I see! Zhang Hanqing felt inspired and said: "It is a good allusion, but it has been tampered with by some people with ulterior motives, so that future generations can't figure it out, so as to achieve their purpose of deceiving others. In the future, when Mongolia is liberated, the name Lang Juxu will still be restored so that people can Future generations should remember that this place has been China’s territory for generations!”
Guo Songling joked: "Huo Qubing was twenty-three when he defeated the Xiongnu. The young marshal is only nineteen this year. It seems that he is destined not to be more beautiful than before."
But Zhang Hanqing remembered a poem: "Yuan Jia hastily sealed the wolf as a coward, and won the hasty visit to the north." For this expedition to Mongolia, he was not inadequately prepared, and the morale of the army was also very high, but it was not like the Southern Dynasties in history. Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty was so disgraced. This time when we enter Mongolia, we must dispel the ambitions of these separatists from the source. Even if they bear the reputation of executioners, we must let these people know that the country's policy towards ethnic minorities is not only gentle, but also has the helpless murderous intention after being forced to go to Liangshan. What's more, the only thing that laughs among all the merits and demerits throughout the ages is that even the fireflies light up the lamps. Fight for future generations!
His emotions also infected other people. Yes, opening up new territories and recovering rivers and mountains are things that will last forever. As they are about to witness history, why shouldn't they be excited about it?
Because it is a plateau, there are more showers in summer, and rainbows will appear after the showers. After the first shower, the officers and soldiers of the "Anmeng Army" saw the first rainbow after entering Kulun. Cullen’s rainbow is different from our common rainbows: our common rainbow is in the sky, Cullen’s rainbow is on the ground, right next to you. It feels like a rainbow bridge on the ground, less than 10 meters away from you, you can catch it with your hands It lives the same, but when you walk 10 meters over, you find that it is still 10 meters away from you.
?Perhaps due to the climate or the plateau, there are almost no trees in Kulun. Occasionally I see a few poplar trees. Not only do they not grow tall, they are still half-dead, and the tops of the trees are basically dead, without exception. However, the elm trees are very alive and moist.
"The Anmon Army" camped in Aldenay. The fatigue, emptiness, boredom and loneliness of the officers and soldiers who had been covered in dust for many days were washed away by the rain. They happily enjoyed this rare gift - Mongolia is an area with severe water shortage, so bathing has become a luxury.
As the commander-in-chief of the "Anmeng Army", Zhang Hanqing communicates with the Shenyang Fengjun Headquarters once a day by phone so that both parties can master important information. After writing the telegram that night, he felt dizzy.He was tired of clothes, could not sleep at night, and his body that had not bathed for many days made him miss Yu Fengzhi's love and tenderness even more. As ambitious as he is, there are also times when he is short of breath. Unable to control myself, I got up and went to my desk to copy a copy of Mao Mao's "Poppy Poppies? On the Pillow" to comfort myself:
How sad are the piles of people on the pillow? The river and sea are churning with waves. The night is long and the sky is always hard to see, so I sit up and stand alone in my clothes to count the cold stars.
When dawn comes, all thoughts are gone, and only a few figures are left. The waning moon flows westward, and there is no reason not to shed tears.
He used this poem when he was dating girls in college, and he picked it up easily without any effort. I thought that it was no wonder that a great man with a rough life could write such a love story between his son and his daughter. At that time, when I copied it, I was just "telling my sorrows to compose new words", but now I have really understood the three flavors. After venting my emotions, I gently stopped writing and fell asleep peacefully.
Zhu Guangmu, his deputy chief and director of the Central Office, took the daily telegram as usual and saw the poems written by the young marshal on the table. After reading them, he cheered continuously. After thinking for a while, he took the poems and sent them out together as a letter from the young commander's family.
The first person to see this poem was Guo Songling’s wife, Han Shuxiu. She and her husband met the young marshal and his wife a few years ago, and they were close friends with Yu Fengzhi. During the years when their husbands went to distant frontiers together, they often got together to discuss the situation in Mongolia. The very next day, she saw the song "Yu Meiren" and praised it full of praises. This did not mean Fengzhi agreed, so she published it in the "Fengtian Daily" under the name of Zhang Hanqing. It received rave reviews, saying that the handsome young man was talented and passionate. , Iron-blooded tenderness and so on.
When Zhang Hanqing entered Mongolia, there was a woman with a bulging belly who was also paying attention to his movements. As soon as his masterpiece came out, Wanqing, the daughter of the Huang family who had already made a fortune again by monopolizing grain in Northeast China, became obsessed with that little poem in front of a case piled with reports.
"Is this Li Ren talking about me?"
Zhang Hanqing never dreamed that he had unintentionally plagiarized the copyright of a great man, but he remembered that the official history of this poem was only two years later when Mao Zedong left Yang Kaihui. However, he later only acquiesced. Did he have to publish it in the newspaper again to state that the poem had another origin? Sometimes he thought narrowly: "It seems that the great man can no longer write this poem, but with his ability, he won't rely on this poem to pursue women, right?"

Chapter 383 Battle of Cullen (Part 1)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Kulun is located in the central part of the Mongolian Plateau, at the southern end of Langjuxu Mountain, on the banks of the Tula River, a tributary of the Orkhon River, with an altitude of 1,351 meters. It is located inland and has a typical continental climate. The lowest temperature in winter reaches minus 40c, the highest temperature in summer reaches 35c, and the annual average temperature is minus 2.9c.
Its north and south sides are surrounded by rolling mountains. The clear Tula River flows slowly from east to west from the foot of Bogdo Mountain in the south of the city. Its east and west sides are vast grasslands. The main city blocks are located on the north bank of the Tula River.
This is a city with a long history. It was first built in 1639 and was called "Urg" at that time, which means "palace" in Mongolian. It was the residence of Jebu Zumba I, the "Living Buddha" of Khalkha Mongolia. Jeb Zumbaden is one of the eight living Buddhas of Tibet and Mongolia, with a lofty status, second only to the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama.
"Urge" wandered around the area for the next 150 years. Since 1778, they gradually settled near the current site and named them "Kulun" and "Big Kulun", which means "big temple" in Mongolian.
Langjuxu Mountain is a sacred mountain in Mongolia. According to "The Secret History of Mongolia", Genghis Khan was buried in Burhan Mountain (where it is today), which was called Langjuxu Mountain in the Han Dynasty of China. In the fourth year of Yuanshou (119 BC), Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, General Huo Qubing chased the Xiongnu to Langjuxu Mountain and sealed the wolfjuxu mountain to offer sacrifices to heaven. He lived in Mount Xu, meditated in Guyan, climbed to the Hanhai Sea, held a captive (captive), and won the title of Chou 70,000, with 443 levels."
Badma Dorji and Living Buddha Jebtsundamba, who were the "Cabinet Prime Ministers" of Mongolia at the time, were well prepared for the entry of Zhang Hanqing's "An-Meng Army". They summoned the independent forces of various alliance banners and recruited nearly 20,000 old-style officers and soldiers, bandit troops, and White Russian troops who lived in Mongolia after the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Together with the slaves of various royal families, they armed a total of about 30,000 people and organized them into five groups. trip.
Under the command of Bokdog, the representative of the royal family, they set up a defensive position at the foot of Kulun City, taking advantage of the geographical advantage of being surrounded by mountains to the north and south, and the unfavorable logistics conditions of the "Anmeng Army", hoping to use protracted tactics to defeat the "Anmeng Army" , and looked forward to Soviet Russia’s support. Bokdog deployed three main brigades to the east of Kulun City, and one brigades to the west and south of the city.
Guo Songling, Zhang Hanqing, and Ji Yiqiao convened a military meeting of officers above the regiment of the "Anmeng Army". At this time, Han Linchun, who served as the commander of the rear army, was still a hundred miles away from here and was mainly responsible for handling logistics supplies. The generals at the meeting unanimously decided not to wait any longer, and it was more than enough to complete the task of annihilating the rebels with the existing forces.
At the meeting, Zhang Hanqing said inspiringly: "Our army fought against the rebellion with the righteousness of the king's division. It has strong morale and is well-equipped. This battle can establish the situation in Mongolia and inflict heavy damage to those who split the country. Order the whole army to have breakfast in Kulun City. ! I will send a telegram to the government to erect a monument on Langjuxu Mountain to commemorate the grand event of the recovery of Mongolia."
He emphasized the significance of this battle, saying: "Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian separatist forces have seen the weakness of the Qing court and have been trying to rebuild the so-called Mongol and Yuan prosperity under the instigation of the Russians and Japanese. This is a cancer attached to the country. Not beating them severely is not enough to deter this group of people, so we must use the power of thunder to annihilate this group of enemies in one fell swoop, making them afraid of the Anmeng Army. In this battle, we will fight for fifty years of peace!"
Since entering Mongolia, the Political Department has preached the justice of this battle to the majority of officers and soldiers, and raised the stability of Mongolia to a historical achievement comparable to Zuo Zongtang's battle to invade Xinjiang. According to Zhang Hanqing's statement, the recovery of Mongolia has the strategic significance of maintaining peace in northern China for a long time. It is also a frontal counterattack against foreign forces' attempts to split our country. Therefore, this battle must be won, and it must be won resoundingly.
The officers and soldiers all know that the Anmeng Army is more than one level stronger than the opponent in terms of equipment and numbers. This battle has great historical significance. Everyone consciously puts themselves on the level of heroism to regain territory for the country. In addition, the backbone of these two divisions all started from the battle to annihilate the Babusuobu bandits, so they despised the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian bandits. Therefore, everyone is full of thoughts of victory, and the fighting morale is high.
According to the established deployment, the Anmeng Army concentrated a powerful artillery force: the divisional artillery battalion force of the Guard Division, an independent artillery battalion, and two infantry regiments to storm the frontal defensive formation in the east of the city, led by Guo Songling. Zhang Chengde's cavalry brigade cut in from the direction of Zongmode in the south of the city, forcibly crossed the Tula River and took a circuitous route to kill behind his formation. The divisional cavalry regiment was used as a suspect to roam back and forth in the west direction of the city to contain and block the defenders' northward escape route. Zhang Hanqing and two infantry regiments are the general reserve team.
The general principle of this battle is to aim for maximum damage, to scare the opponent out of fear rather than defeat them - with such superior firepower, numbers and training quality, if the opponent cannot be defeated head-on, a bunch of people will be defeated. You can go home and nurse your baby.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, two artillery battalions with a total of 36 mountain guns fired in unison, and three groups of soldiers and horses came out at the same time, and the sound of killing was loud. "Anmengjun" laughed and exchanged wordsTo cheer up, "Go to Kulun for breakfast" became the heroic aspiration of the "Anmeng Army".
On the frontal battlefield where the artillery regiment was located, the Mongolian army was shattered after enduring a large-scale artillery attack. Most of these people were recruited temporarily, and some of them had never even touched a gun. How could they not be afraid when they heard the deafening roar of artillery and the painful groans of their fellow soldiers who were hit? There are those who shoot indiscriminately, there are those who drag their guns and retreat, and there are those who abandon their guns and stay on the ground. The infantry of the "Anmeng Army" had not yet charged, and the Mongolian army itself was in chaos. No more than a hundred people died in the trenches due to shelling, but hundreds of people were killed by artillery fire while escaping!
Fortunately, some of the guards left by the Manchu elders and the veteran Youzi and bandits who were stranded in Mengcheng had experienced the war, and there were officers at all levels standing behind the formation with guns waving. The fleeing Mongolian army saw the law enforcement teams behind them, and they were still defeated. , so they turned back one after another.
After a round of artillery bombardment by the "Anmeng Army", the infantry regiment advanced, and the artillery attack radius expanded accordingly.
Just when some experienced veterans of the Mongolian army thought that the infantry attack had begun and were preparing to organize a close battle, a new round of shelling began again. This time they were caught off guard, and many Mongolian troops in formation were killed in piles.
The hateful "An-Meng Army" artillery shells seemed to be endless, flying towards the Mongolian army's position in wave after wave. The Mongolian army only had about a dozen small cannons left by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Not to mention their firepower, the range was less than half of the "An-Meng Army" cannons. They could only watch the shells flying over the heads of the infantry but were helpless. Bokdog took command on the front line early in the morning. Seeing the fierce firepower of the "Anmeng Army", he knew that the eastern front was the main assault force, and hurriedly mobilized two other troops to join the battlefield. Guo Songling was just about to ask him to do this. Anyway, one cannonball would blow up a pile of people, and the two piles of people together would still be one pile.
The artillery unit was initially worried that too many artillery shells would be dumped. Soon, the entire artillery unit would be out of shells. However, both Zhang Hanqing and Guo Songling believed that as long as this battle was defeated, Mongolia would have no bad battles to fight, so they advocated severe strikes to show the strength of the king's division, break up the morale of the Mongolian army, and win back the hearts of the Mongolian people.
Thanks to the strong foundation of the Shenyang Arsenal, although each division of the Fengjun Army is equipped with at least one artillery battalion, their artillery shells have been completely self-sufficient since last year. After entering Mongolia this time, at least one regiment of logistics troops was dedicated to transporting artillery shells for the front line, so the Anmeng army could fight with ease. After half an hour of free bombardment, most of the artillery shells they brought were consumed. When reinforcements from the Mongolian army on the opposite side arrived, they ordered signal flares to be fired.
Zhang Chengde’s cavalry brigade, which was waiting in hiding in the south of the city, heard the rumbling of artillery in the east of the city. The soldiers under his command were itching, but Zhang Chengde forcibly suppressed it. His force was the decisive force in this battle. After the enemy troops in the south of the city were mobilized, they would use the rapid advantage of the cavalry to attack first, and then circle back behind the defenders in the east of the city to form a two-sided attack. He was anxiously waiting for the attack order from Chief of Staff Guo Songling. He knew Guo Duo from the Northeast Martial Arts Hall. Guo was a new-school officer who followed orders and prohibited orders and valued strict discipline.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise, like fireworks blooming in the air. This was the order to attack. The chief of staff finally made his troops make a difference. Zhang Chengde perked up and shouted, "Mount the horse!"
He drew his saber, pulled out a saber in mid-air, and said loudly: "Each regiment has deployed before and attack at full speed. No hesitation, no prisoners, no dismounting, no chance for the enemy to breathe along the way!" Four cavalry regiments! , rushing forward like four torrents. The Mongolian troops who stayed behind were startled by the dull sound of horse hooves, and shouted in unison: "The enemy is attacking!"
Although cold weapons were bid farewell to combat at this time, China's hot weapons, with rifles as the main force, were not yet able to effectively kill cavalry. As a result, cavalry, as an ancient arm, has continued on the Chinese battlefield for more than 20 years on non-frontal battlefields. .
The First Cavalry Brigade was organized at the end of the first year of the Republic of China. Brigadier Chen Wenyun (a Japanese cadet) referred to the changes in the cavalry establishment abroad and suggested that the battalion level be abolished under the cavalry regiment, and the regiment be directly under the company. The cavalry company should be changed to a large company with four platoons, that is The so-called "big group and small company" was adopted. After the restructuring, the cavalry regiment under the division has three to four cavalry companies and five to six hundred men; the cavalry regiment under the cavalry brigade has five cavalry companies and one machine gun company and more than nine hundred men. The reduction in organization improved combat efficiency, and the reduction in number was closely related to the reduced role of cavalry at home and abroad at that time.
Fengjun made slight changes to the cavalry organization after Zhang Hanqing's reorganization: the cavalry company has 4 platoons, and the divisional cavalry regiment has 4 cavalry companies and 1 machine gun company, about 1,130 people; the cavalry brigade is the largest cavalry organization, with There are 4 cavalry regiments composed of 5 cavalry companies and 1 logistics battalion, with a total of about 6,100 people. This is because under the conditions that the Northeast has a vast geography and the army is not yet mechanized, the cavalry can be used as a "surprise force" to play the role of assault and surprise attack.
When fighting against the Mongolian army, which lacked heavy machine guns and artillery, the fast cavalry was indeed the natural enemy of the infantry. This is also the reason why Zhang Hanqing and Guo Songling want Zhang Chengde's Cavalry Brigade to be the main force for victory.
Think about how amazing the scene of thousands of horses running wild is. Some Mongolian troops have wisely dropped their guns: half of the brigade stationed in the south of the city has just been transferred, and the remaining 2,500 remnants cannot withstand this thunderous blow. of.

Chapter 384 Battle of Cullen (Part 2)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The officers and soldiers of the cavalry brigade, sabers in hand, roared past the fence "city wall" that was only 2 meters high in the south of the city. They paid no attention to the Mongolian troops who knelt to surrender, but some of the surrendering troops who knelt on the road were cut down without hesitation. They lost their heads——just because they delayed the advance of the large army!
Soon after, the defenders in the east of the city heard a loud noise from behind, and Zhang Chengde's troops moved to the rear of the Mongolian army with lightning speed. Guo Songling issued the order for a general attack, and the infantry regiment, unwilling to be left behind, shouted and charged across the front.
The Mongolian army was finally in chaos. Facing the crusade, they lacked moral strength. With no hope of victory, they all chose to abandon their guns and surrender. Bokdog was dissatisfied, abandoned his troops, and fled northward surrounded by the palace guards.
This battle only lasted three hours and ended successfully. The actual fighting time was only half an hour, and the rest of the time was spent on capturing prisoners. An inventory of the battlefield showed that the "Anmeng Army" took more than 13,000 prisoners and killed more than 2,000 people. It is estimated that hundreds of people were killed and injured in the south of the city. The casualties on our side were less than a hundred, so it was considered a great victory.
Guo Songling was not in a hurry to attack. He arranged to rest on the spot. While sending troops to guard the passes in the east and south of the city, he arranged for scouts to pay attention to the movements of the Mongolian army. According to the previous conclusions of several people, he knew that the large-scale armed struggle was over, and what was left was the civil affairs.
Sure enough, after lunch, the sentry reported that the Living Buddha Jebtsundamba sent his special envoy, Minister of Foreign Affairs Longchige to discuss the truce. Zhang Hanqing smiled coldly and said, "Bring him in."
Not long after, the guards led a middle-aged official in Mongolian formal attire into the headquarters of the "An-Meng Army". Longchige gave the Mongolian salute to everyone and others, and said to Zhang Hanqing: "Dear Marshal, Hutuktu Khan sent me to inform you that Hutuktu Khan has requested the dissolution of the Mongolian independent government. We will immediately Power on to the Central Committee. Now the independent government in the full sense no longer exists, and both sides must immediately cease military operations."
Zhang Hanqing sneered and said: "No, there is no truce, only surrender! After a defeat, you ask for peace and truce? Don't even think about it! All Mongolian armies must surrender! Why doesn't that so-called living Buddha come to see me? Is he responsible for this incident? People must be held accountable!”
Longqige was furious and said: "The descendants of Changshengtian will never surrender. As a living Buddha, how can you be so rude!"
Zhang Hanqing received modern education, what kind of living Buddha did he believe in? That awesome Dalai Lama and Living Buddha of Tibet, how about being kicked out of his lair, living all over the world as his "home", and watching his death without a place to bury him? This so-called "first generation distant ancestor" of Living Buddha Jebtsundamba is recognized by the fifth Dalai Lama Lobsang Gyatso Dalai Lama. There seems to be some information that the inheritance of the living Buddha system needs to be canonized by the Qing emperor and recognized by the Dalai Lama of Tibet before it can take effect. In this case, if he, as a representative of the central government, does not recognize his religious status, then he is still a Shit.
He spread his hands and said to Longqig: "Who is the living Buddha Jebtsundamba! He is a Buddha to you, but to me he is just a Russian lackey who splits the country! Without canonization by the central government, he Now I'm still living in a dilapidated yurt, worrying about three meals a day! It doesn't matter whether you surrender or not, to borrow a famous saying of Genghis Khan: 'If you want to fight, then fight'. Please come back, and we'll see you after the battle. .”
After a long period of thinking, he has come to a conclusion: to obtain Mongolia's long-term ownership, iron-blooded methods are indispensable. The central government has granted enough privileges to Outer Mongolia, but these people still have a hard time filling their grievances. Only by clearing out those separatists who are determined to stay on the ground can we completely return a clear sky to Outer Mongolia.
Longqige was trembling with anger. Although he spoke forcefully, he was panicking in his heart. It was expected to be shored up so that Russian support forces could arrive. Who would have thought that nearly three brigades of troops in the east of the city would be wiped out in a few hours. If this were not the case, the cabinet would not be in a hurry to call for an armistice. He hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Young Marshal, I am here this time to follow the teachings of the Living Buddha. Both sides have rested their troops to rest. Please do not start another war."
Zhang Hanqing was unmoved and said: "Your Living Buddha's teachings are of no use to me! I emphasize once again that all Mongolian troops should surrender immediately and unconditionally, and all officials of the puppet Mongolian government must be tried. This is the basis for negotiations between the two parties. , otherwise, the 'An-Meng Army' will kill all those who dare to resist, and severely hold the upper management of the Mongolian army and the government accountable! Please bring your original words and we will give you a reply within 2 hours."
With half an hour left in the ultimatum, Zhang Hanqing felt a little uneasy. Ethnic and religious issues have always been a major issue in China. Anmeng is necessary, but if this goal is achieved by bloody means, it will not meet the needs of long-term peace and stability. After all, you can say angry words, but if you want to naturalize the people living in this land, a gentle policy is essential, and he has not yetAre you mentally prepared to make this place a river of blood?
However, Guo Songling comforted him confidently and said: "Young Marshal, there will be good news later. Brigade Commander Ji has already arranged the battle on the front line. If things fail, we are sure to annihilate the Mongolian army within half an hour." I think anyone with a little bit of brains will understand that continuing to fight will not have good results for them." Zhang Hanqing secretly thought to himself, thinking that he was too impatient. I'm so anxious that I can't eat hot tofu. What's certain is that I'm afraid he'll fly away?
Facts have verified what Guo Songling said. When Longziger brought Zhang Hanqing's original words, there was silence in the Prime Minister's Office. Everyone was originally very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army, but unexpectedly they were killed instantly. Bokdog, who claimed to be the Mongolian God of War before the war, even had no shadow. It was not known whether he died in battle, was captured, or escaped.
A group of blind eyes were all staring at Badma to see how he would make a decision.
It is true that Badma is the prime minister, but this "prime minister" has less than one million people, and the most important military and religious power is not in his hands. He is at most the front desk for living Buddhas to govern the world.
A few months ago, he was happy to be respected by thousands of people, but now he feels the pressure strongly. He understood the principle of "capture the thief first, capture the king first". For such a large battle of the Anmeng Army, it took a long time to introduce several responsible persons after the war. As the person with the highest official position among them, he was the first to bear the brunt. Therefore, he said: "Damn Bokdog, even if we give him 30,000 horses, he will not be captured in such a short period of time!"
He forgot that horses are said to be human, but they are not human after all. As humans, it is instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but horses cannot do this. Many of the Mongolian troops on the battlefield surrendered to the Anmeng troops in groups on their own initiative. It did not take much time to capture the prisoners, but it took as much as two hours to capture the horses!
But complaining is useless. Badma looked at the living Buddha. The living Buddha who stepped down from the altar was like an old monk in meditation, immersed in his personal world and lustful thoughts.
He turned to Longqig, who had witnessed the power of the Anmeng army: "Bokdog is useless, and we are not our opponents. It is better to avoid the war. The most we can do is cancel our autonomy, but we will not lose much. How many times do we lose our autonomy? This was done years ago, but in the end it was done hastily? And if you don't want to unite your enemies, such an army will be useless anyway, so it's better to be a bachelor."
Badma nodded. A big defeat within two hours had completely destroyed his spirit, energy, and spirit. He couldn't hold his breath anymore. After a short consultation, "Cabinet Prime Minister" Badma Dorzi finally decided to accept the proposition of the "Anti-Mongolian Army" and ordered all Mongolian troops to disarm.
In the morning of that day, Ji Yiqiao led the division's cavalry regiment and a regiment of infantry to enter Hulun City first, and marched directly to all directions to take over the Mongolian defense lines. In order to demonstrate his force, Zhang Hanqing held an ingenious ceremony for entering the city and ordered all officials of the Mongolian Autonomous Government to line up at the city gate to greet him.
Zhang Chengde’s Cavalry Brigade is the forward. When they saw the cavalry of the "Anmeng Army" marching through the city gates one by one with their vigorous riding posture, neat horses, and high fighting spirit, the hearts of everyone in the surrendered Kulun City palpitated with the noisy sound of horse hooves. move. And when the cannons advanced slowly one by one, dragged by six horses, they couldn't help but be surprised by their mighty appearance. The soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from the gunfire were intimidated, with complicated expressions in their eyes.
The weapons in Mongolia are all old goods left over from the Manchu garrison before the Republic of China, and many soldiers even use firecrackers. There are a few antique "red cannons", but there are basically no cannons in the modern sense, and there are basically no decent weapons since the Republic of China. Because Mongolia’s industry is almost zero, there is no possibility of independent research and development. What's more, any industry, especially heavy industry, requires sufficient water sources to ensure it. Mongolia is an area with severe water shortage! This is one of the reasons why the Mongolian army was almost unable to fight back under the attack of the well-equipped "An-Meng Army".
After the first regiment of the army, there is the guard battalion commanded by the "Anmeng Army". Zhang Hanqing was under strict protection. Along the way, he could only see more and more people gathering in the distance and unattractive trees on both sides of the street. It was his first time out of the country since prehistoric times, and everything here felt both familiar and strange.
There are almost no trees in Kulun, perhaps due to the climate or the plateau. Occasionally I see a few poplar trees. Not to mention whether they grow tall or not, they are still half-dead, and the tops of the trees are basically dead, without exception. The elm trees were alive and well, which reminded Zhang Hanqing of some areas with harsh natural conditions in Xinjiang, northern Shaanxi, and Inner Mongolia, where elm trees are also widespread. After Mr. Mao Dun finished writing "Praise to Poplars", he might also write "Praise to Elms". A tree with such a strong ability to survive is worthy of praise. I don’t understand why Mongolians don’t regard elm trees as green trees. I remember that some streets in Urumqi and Lanzhou have elm trees in their green trees, which are very lush. "When you have time, you must plant some elm trees in the city. Planting more trees can block the wind and sand." He thought to himself.
A gust of wind blew up, and the sand it brought was fascinated by Zhang Hanqing's eyes. He rubbed the sand that was blown into his eyes and thought to himself, how can he rub the sand out of Mongolia|Independence's eyes forever? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??. ” he thought to himself.

Chapter 385 An Meng

The "Anmeng Army" has stabilized the situation. At noon that day, Guo Songling issued a notice to calm the people and imposed martial law throughout the city of Kulun.
With the help of bayonets, Zhang Hanqing drove away the incompetent Chen Yi, the plenipotentiary representative of the Beijing government in Toronto and who also fueled the Mongolian independence incident, hijacked the "Cabinet Prime Minister" Badma Dorzi, and placed Jebzundamba under house arrest. Living Buddha, fully negate the "China-Russia Statement". On August 28, under pressure from Zhang Hanqing, the Parliament of Outer Mongolia formally submitted a petition to President Xu Shichang of the Republic of China, requesting the abolition of all treaties between Russia and Mongolia and the return of all Mongolia to China.
The next day, the Beijing government of the Republic of China ordered the cancellation of Outer Mongolia's autonomy in the form of the "China President's Announcement", and also canceled the "China-Russia Statement" and the "Kyakhta Agreement." At the same time, at the suggestion of Zhang Hanqing, the commander-in-chief of the "An-Meng Army", the Beijing government will officially establish Mongolia as a province and call it "Mongolia Province of the Republic of China", and transfer Wang Shuhan, deputy governor of Jilin Province, to be promoted to governor.
Zhang Zuolin treated Zhang Hanqing, who led troops in battle for the first time, with great courtesy: the soldiers of the "Anmeng Army" who participated in this battle were each credited with merit once, and several major marshal officers were promoted to one rank: Zhang Hanqing was promoted to lieutenant general due to his merit (previously After successfully suppressing the bandits, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General. Of course, he was not appointed by the Central Committee, but this did not prevent him from adding a star on his shoulder. He became the youngest Lieutenant General since the Republic of China. Guo Songling, Mi Chunlin, and Ji Yiqiao were all officially promoted to lieutenant general, but Wang Yizhe was promoted to lieutenant general, and Zhang Chengde was promoted from colonel to major general (the rank of cavalry brigade commander and artillery brigade commander was the same). The head of the regiment is a colonel).
On the recommendation of Zhang Hanqing, Ji Yiqiao was given the important task of garrisoning Mongolia as a veteran of the Republic of China. A few days later, the Central Committee appointed Ji Yiqiao to be stationed in Outer Mongolia. Ji was appointed commander of the Mongolian Security Command and Wang Shuhan as provincial governor. Since then, there has been no distance between Northeast China and Northwest China, and Zhang Zuolin has administered 7 provinces and autonomous regions.
While Zhang Hanqing was electrifying the Central Committee, he also received recognition from the Sun Yat-sen Protector Military and Government in the South. In the spirit of national justice, Sun Yat-sen ignored the opposition within the Kuomintang and sent a congratulatory message. He praised Zhang Hanqing in a high-profile manner and did not hesitate to posthumously praise him: "Hanqing's contribution to the recovery of Mongolia was greater than that of Fu Jiezi and Chen Tang. Public opinion cannot be denied!"
Thousands of Mongolian-speaking cadres from the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government and the People's Party followed one after another and began the long-thought-out Mongolian reform. One of the key points of this reform was the emancipation of serfs.
On the vast grasslands, only a small group of princes and nobles actually own the means of production. The vast majority of herdsmen live in poverty and hunger. If this is the case, why do we still allow these upper-level people to continue to live in a state of idleness and become fattened as sinners who split the country and the nation? Zhang Hanqing has rich experience in "New People's Land Reform". Although the operation models of prairie and black land are different, the principles are similar. He has witnessed and empathized with the boundless enthusiasm of farmers in the Northeast for a few acres of land. Who can guarantee that the Mongolian herdsmen will not be grateful to the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government for this? At that time, the Mongolian people welcomed Mao Mao with singing and dancing. The famous song "The Sun That Rises and Never Sets on the Grassland" that he had heard since childhood really sung the aspirations of the Mongolian people. Isn't the reason for the liberation? Taking advantage of the fact that many upper-class Mongolians were participating in Outer Mongolia's autonomy, Zhang Hanqing decided to take the opportunity to mobilize the herdsmen and overthrow these unreliable powerful factions.
Zhang Hanqing also established the Mongolian Provincial Department of the People's Party in Mongolia. With the assistance of the party and government elites who came to support him, he quickly and vigorously launched a "three-anti movement" of "anti-separatism, anti-hunger, and anti-oppression". The People's Party mobilized the people to report the Mongolian separatists and the powerful family members who had committed many crimes. The poor herders who had no means of livelihood were given their cattle and sheep. The "An-Meng Army" built execution grounds and cells on Langjuxu Mountain. A large number of upper-class people who participated in Mongolian autonomy were deprived of their property and thrown into prison. The leading ones were even sentenced to death.
In the past month to the end of September, the Mongolian provincial government executed nearly two hundred people on charges of separatism, counterrevolution, etc., and ransacked their homes, imprisoned, and exiled nearly a thousand people. This is extremely horrifying in Mongolia, a province with a very small population.
The Mongolian provincial government headed by Wang Shuhan has done a lot of construction and strengthened Chinese cultural education: introducing vegetables, building roads, setting up banks, launching daily newspapers, etc. In order to overcome the weakness of individual herdsmen, the government also established the Animal Husbandry Department based on the situation in Mongolia. In addition to leading the herdsmen to organize mutual rescue societies and develop animal husbandry, it also organized the purchase of sheep skins, goat skins, cow skins, and horse skins. , camel skin, as well as a large amount of wool, cashmere, etc. are sold to inland China to support finances and family life.
It is necessary to talk about the Mutual Rescue Association, which is the predecessor of the ranch. In order to overcome the situation that single-family herdsmen are unable to resist or lack the ability to bear the frequent natural disasters such as ice and snow on the Mongolian plateau, the People's Party has widely mobilized herdsmen to establish collective ranches in various places, which are the lowest administrative units. In this way, the living conditions of the herdsmen who join the membership can be guaranteed, and theInconvenient transportation, centrifugation is only a matter of time. Think about how later China spent huge sums of money to build the Sichuan-Tibet, Qinghai-Tibet, Yunnan-Tibet, and Xinjiang-Tibet highways under extreme geographical conditions for Tibet, which has a population of three million, as well as the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, which is called the "Sky Road". Exploration and four other railroads have been built. In any case, the conditions in Mongolia are far better than those in Tibet, and we cannot afford to be careless.
??Whether it is military, transportation or economical, this should be one of the most important places besides Cullen. The only reason why I say this is because there is another place that Chinese people dream about, Tangnu Ulianghai. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 386 Tangnu Wulianghai
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
After consolidating the northern territory, the "Anmeng Army" must first eliminate the remaining forces of Tsarist Russia entrenched in Tangnu Ulianghai, so as to send a clear signal to the Soviet Russian government and eliminate the opportunity for them to infiltrate again.
Once the place is set up, troops will be stationed here, so that this piece of land that the Chinese people dream of will return to the king forever. This was Zhang Hanqing's wish in his previous life, and it is also the sadness of countless Chinese people.
Tangnu Ulianghai was originally part of Outer Mongolia. Its distribution area is generally located in the upper reaches of the Yenisey River in southern Siberia. It is located in the northwest of Outer Mongolia and south of Siberia. It is bordered by the East and West Sayan Mountains in the north and the West Sayan Mountains in the south. Tangnu Mountain is a narrow strip of land between two mountains, with a distance of 420 kilometers from north to south and 630 kilometers from east to west. It has a total area of ??nearly 200,000 square kilometers and is shaped like a gourd.
Sayan Mountain is the boundary mountain between Tangnu Ulianghai and Siberia. Geographically, it is the northern edge of the Mongolian Plateau. The word "Ling" in Lingbei Province, one of the eleven Xingzhongshu Provinces in the Yuan Dynasty, refers to Sayan Mountains.
Tuva is an ancient place name. This place belonged to the Turkic Khanate from the 6th to 8th centuries, and was later annihilated by the Hui people. In the 9th century, the Kyrgyz people drove away the Hui people. Genghis Khan occupied this place in the 13th century, and it belonged to China from then on. It was ruled by the Manchus in 1819. In the Qing Dynasty, it was called Tangnu Ulianghai, with forty-eight assistants, and was divided into Uliasutai in Outer Mongolia. The deputy general of the left side of Dingbian, the great living Buddha Jebtsundamba, and the two departments of Zasaktu and Sanyinnuoyan.
From 1860 to 1911, Tsarist Russia colonized Tangnu Ulyanghai in the name of "exploration" and "mining", introduced a large number of Russian immigrants, and at the same time developed the economy of Tangnu Ulyanghai. In the third year of Tongzhi, China and Russia signed the "Tacheng Treaty" (i.e., the "China-Russia Treaty on the Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary"), and the ten territories in the northwest of Tangnu Ulianghai were cut off. In 1912, Tsarist Russia took advantage of Outer Mongolia's attempt to become independent and directly annexed Tangnu Ulianghai, so it was placed under the Russian protectorate in 1914.
On December 28, 1916, as Russia was busy with World War I, the Republic of China decided to let Ulyasutaizo, the Collector and Commissioner, take charge of Tangnu Ulyanghai affairs and resume the exercise of sovereignty over the area. From 1918 to 1919, when Tsarist Russia was overthrown by the Soviet Communist Party, the Republic of China sent troops to expel the remaining forces of Tsarist Russia entrenched in the Tangnu Ulianghai area and took the opportunity to take back Tangnu Ulianghai.
However, as Mongolia lost control, the more remote Tangnu Ulianghai was no longer able to carry out effective control and management. So in 1920 in official history, most of Tangnu Ulianghai was quietly incorporated into the Soviet Union and was The Republic of Tuva was established in 1944 and has been ruled ever since.
The Tuva people are a branch of the Mongolian ethnic group. Their ethnic origins mainly come from two aspects, one is Tiele - Turks, and the other is Xianbei - Mongolia. They were called the Uuliangha people in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and were translated as "Wulianghai" in the Qing dynasty. This is another source of the Tuva people. Later, they migrated to the Tangnu Ulianghai area and were renamed Tuva or Tuwa people. Therefore, some people say that they are the descendants of the soldiers left behind by Genghis Khan during his western expedition.
Another view is that the Tuva people belong to a branch of the Turkic people. The evidence includes that the Tuva language is recognized as belonging to the Turkic language family rather than the Mongolian language family. They have also been assimilated by Mongolia. This can be seen from their habit of drinking milk tea and milk wine. You can feel it.
The Tuva people are divided into two types, one is the mountain-plain livestock herders (Western Tuva people) and the deer hunters in the mountain forests (Eastern Tuva people). They live as they did before: selling salt, nomadic herding, and herding and hunting are their traditional occupations. Since the 17th century, Tuvans have been under growing Russian cultural influence. The traditional social structure of the Tuva people is based on the clan system. Their traditional religious belief is a mixture of Yellow religion and Lamaism. Therefore, they are mainly Lamaists and Shamanists. Tibetan Buddhism has a great influence. deep.
Its capital, Kizil, is located at the confluence of the Big and Small Yenisei rivers. It has been home to a large number of Tuva people for a long time. It was only officially formed in 1914. After the Soviet occupation in 1926, it was changed to Kizil, which means "red". Because the north is the long and tall West and East Sayan Mountains, its geographical location is more southerly, but it is still the northernmost city in the entire region, with a population of about 60,000 at that time.
The entire Tangnu Ulianghai population is about 200,000, and most residents are concentrated in the basins and valleys between the mountains. Due to large-scale immigration, about 20% of the population is Russian, and they are mainly concentrated in the capital city of Kyzil. In addition to the Tuva tribe, there are also the Komi and Khakas tribes with a population of 5,000 or 6,000.
If we don’t take advantage of this moment to complete the feat of liberating the entire territory of Mongolia, how long will it take? So Zhang Hanqing left Guo Songling behind in Kulun to carry out political, military and economic reforms, and personally led the main force of Zhang Chengde's cavalry brigade and the first regiment of the special operations brigade led by Ji Yiqiao to march westward along the Orkhon River, across Lake Kusugur, and at Kizil You defeated the remaining forces of Tsarist Russia and quickly recovered the thirty-six subordinate territories in the central and eastern areas. Since the Soviet Russian army in the north is fighting the White Russian army, the defense here?To guard the narrow geography in the middle of the Sayan Mountains, we can effectively block the invasion channel from Siberia. The huge Mongolia will only serve as a strategic buffer for mainland China. Defending Tangnu Ulianghai is like a sharp knife stuck in the heart of Russia. When China becomes stronger in the future, will Soviet Russia also set aside a place on their territory as their strategic buffer?
Following the order of Zhang Hanqing, Tangnu Ulianghai was officially transformed into a second-level unit under the jurisdiction of the Mongols, and was officially established as a city. The municipal government headquarters is still in Kizil. South Tangnu City was built with Taili in the southwest as the center, North Tangnu City with Kemuzike Ulianghai Banner as the center, and a new military city was built in the Shizuo territory in the northwest of Xisayan Mountains, called Sayan City. The three cities are all built in almost a straight line along the river. They will be the administrative and economic center of the left half gourd terrain, and will also be more convenient in terms of transportation construction.
The Tuomian Wulianghai Banner in the eastern half of the gourd-shaped area was changed to Dongtannu City, while the names of Nalen and Jinjijianke in the south remained unchanged. In this way, there are seven cities in Tangnu Ulianghai City, forming an administrative structure in which one city governs six counties. Originally, each territory was divided internally, or formed into towns and villages in twos and threes, which were governed by these seven cities respectively. Starting from Nantangnu City, as long as an almost "Y"-shaped highway is built, the seven cities will be effectively connected, which will not only bring all the major areas closer together, but also reduce construction costs.
Zhang Hanqing assigned troops from the Tang Juwu Regiment of the "Anmeng Army" cavalry brigade to garrison, and appointed him as the garrison envoy of the Tangnu area of ??the Anmeng Army. Since the Tang troops were all cavalry units, they could only be used in places with high mountains and sparsely populated areas. While he sent a telegram to the Mongolian provincial government to send Mongolian administrative personnel and some People's Party cadres to Tangnu to carry out the construction of Tangnu, he also asked Tang Juwu to send people to carefully draw an administrative geographical map, and then hand it over to the Northeast Autonomous Government for demarcation.
Geographically, it is really far away from Kulun, and transportation is inconvenient. Zhang Chengde handed over a radio station to Tang Juwu stationed in Kizil City to facilitate contact with Kulun. Zhang Hanqing secretly vowed that when he gets rich in the future, he will build a road and railway from Kulun, and keep this treasure firmly in his hands and never let go.
In order to appease Horqin and other tribes, Zhang Hanqing led his troops southward and returned all the way along the Kobdo and Uliasutai areas. At the source of the Orkhon River, he also arranged for a meeting with Ji Yiqiao, who would be the supreme military commander of Mongolia, in a big way to agree. Mongolia returned to the Central Government and the princes of Checheerleg League. The majestic military appearance and "huge" army greatly frightened some fence-sitters who were still watching the situation in their hearts. Compared with Mongolia, which has a population of less than one million, an army of 10,000 people is indeed "huge".
However, when these Mongolian princes wanted to see the young marshal with tears in their eyes, Zhang Chengde regretfully informed them that due to overwork and the unfavorable climate, the young marshal was ill and unable to see guests. Based on Zhang Hanqing's previously planned Mongolian strategy, he had already prepared his troops and prepared for major moves in the northwest, so it was inconvenient to stay for a long time. But the sick young commander was very moved by the kindness of the princes and praised their decision to become kings.
Because there were many dirty things in Fengwan before, and the Zhili Clan was ready to take action. In order to divide Zhili and the Central Government and alleviate the negative consequences of the Central Government's withdrawal of the "Inspection Envoys of the Three Eastern Provinces" during the "May 4th Movement", after the war, the Central Government took the opportunity to reward Zhang Zuolin generously: "With Zhang Zuolin is the inspection envoy to the three eastern provinces and the economic and strategic envoy to Mongolian territory. All suppression plans are given full authority and carried out expeditiously. The cities of Rehe, Chahar, and Xing'an are all under the control of the economic and strategic envoy" Zhang Zuolin was extremely proud of actually recognizing Fengjun's military occupation of the four areas outside the Pass.

Chapter 387 Aunt Huang’s Action

"Zhang Hanqing is not physically ill, but pretending to be ill. However, he still has worries. The "Operation Aunt Huang" he arranged a year ago is coming to an end and is a critical step.
According to news from the "Service Bureau", just a month ago in October 1919, Kolchak's troops were defeated again in Tobolsk. So the great retreat began. Dozens of trains loaded with soldiers, refugees and miscellaneous goods left Omsk heading east. The last one to leave Omsk was Kolchak, who wanted to take the gold reserves that the White Guards had obtained from the Kazan treasury to the east.
At this time, Kolchak had become an obstacle to the British, French, Czech general Zhi Gaida and Cossack leader Semyonov. They all wanted to possess the train containing gold, and no one cared about the life or death of the supreme consul.
But after all, this gold is the capital that Kolchak relies on to survive. He also plans to use it to make a comeback. His men also hope to exchange gold bars for some food or bullets at a critical moment. Besides, without all this gold, who cares that he was the former supreme commander of the White Guards and the supreme consul of the "Russian Provisional Government"? Once he is not supported by non-commissioned officers, he will be mercilessly abandoned at any time. What awaits him will definitely be a shooting execution by the hated Soviet army. He must know this well, and the words of advice conveyed by the Chinese Gao Jiyi to their young commander are still in his ears.
Since he has decided to retreat to the far east, he has made many inquiries about the situation of Fengjun. When I knew that as Gao Jiyi said, their young marshal personally led the troops to defeat Mongolia, I couldn't help but think about it.
When he was in the sky, he failed to defeat the Red Army. Now the interference of the army has been internal, and his military heart has been defeated. If he doesn't want some ways, is it really waiting for these people to treat themselves as the Soviet Russian army to reconcile?
Fortunately, I was ready for all the evacuation matters at any time, so although the withdrawal was hectic, my trusted troops still completed the preparations for leaving in a very orderly manner, and no gold was left in the city of Omsk (thank you Marshal, thank Gao Jiyi, there are Kolchak, who was mentally prepared, was relatively well prepared, unlike in history, when he lost several tons of gold because of his haste).
It’s already late at night, are we about to arrive in Irkutsk? That's where life or death is decided. One side is heading east to enter the Japanese territory, and the other side is heading south to enter the Chinese territory. It is so difficult to choose. But no matter what, even if the gold is thrown into the unfathomable Lake Baikal, the evil Soviet army cannot get half of it!
The so-called deep love and deep hatred. Later in the year before the "February Revolution", he had just been promoted to vice admiral and appointed commander of the Black Sea Fleet, and continued his amazing command capabilities——sinking of Constantinople. Many German warships and control of the Black Sea were firmly in the hands of the Russian army. After the "February Revolution", he was the first admiral to swear allegiance to the Provisional Government of Soviet Russia. Why did it change owners so quickly without any shame? He said: "I do not serve this or that form of government, but I serve the motherland, which I regard above all else."
But the good times did not last long. On June 17, 1917, the Sailors, Soldiers and Workers' Representative Conference in Sevastopol passed a resolution to remove him from his post as commander of the Black Sea Fleet and send him to the United States for military inspections. He stayed in the United States for two months. When he returned home via Japan, he learned that the Bolsheviks had held the "October Revolution." He regarded himself as the representative of the overthrown legal government and believed that it was necessary to fight the Bolsheviks. This is the belief that he continues to fight for.
But now, his faith collapsed: he became homeless, although his lovely wife Sofia was always by his side, and his son Rostilalf Alexander Kolchak was also with him. Bravely shouldered the gun.
Gradually, the train slowed down. According to the mileage, it shouldn’t arrive at the station so quickly. What happened? Looking at the boundless and desolate wilderness, he also felt chilly in his heart. Don't let anything happen.
Soon, the old subordinate Petrov who was commanding the train sent someone to inform: "French General Genan ordered the train to stop in Nizhny Udinsk." He paused and said, "Someone just handed me a letter. It is said that an uprising broke out in Irkutsk on the 19th, and the political power has been transferred to the "political center" of the Socialist Revolutionary Party and Menshevik organization. The generals of France and the Czech Republic have made a deal with this "political center", and they want to use General, you come in exchange for their safe departure from Russia. The signature is Gao Jiyi."
Gao Jiyi! It turns out he has always been by my side! He once inadvertently missed the days when that person was around, at least he still had a glimmer of hope. Now, this man shows up with bad news.
But now it’s hard to get off: the Red Army captures Omsk and will still control the train, and they will chase it along the way. One minute late, ??There's a minute risk. Kolchak would never see death coming. After receiving no explanation from Renan for a long time, he ordered: "Irkutsk is our new temporary capital. No matter what, we must move forward." Let’s go. I am the Grand Consul and I order the train to keep moving!”
The whistle sounded and the train started, but Kolchak's heart sank.
At this time, it is very likely that this kind of thing will happen. Does it mean that the intervention forces are ready to attack him? Most likely! However, knowing nothing about the previous situation, is now a good time for him to fight back?
Irkutsk is near. Kolchak's future base, the last hope for a comeback, and the fertile soil of Central Siberia! He was once full of hope, but when he saw the soldiers with live ammunition next to the platform, his heart sank to the bottom!
"Speed ??up and rush over!" This was the most correct order he gave, and it was also executed most thoroughly.
The soldiers on the platform had no idea what happened to the train. By the time they reacted and received the order, the train had already departed. Seeing the train bypassing Lake Baikal and heading east along the long lake out of Irkutsk, the relieved guards fell asleep.
When the sky was dark, there was suddenly the sound of hooves in the distance, completely covering up the roar of the train. Everyone on the train was alert. What a huge cavalry this must be!
Kolchak was suddenly shocked: Who else but the Cossacks could have such a huge cavalry on the land of Siberia? Thinking of the Cossack leader Semenov who had been quarreling with him a few days ago, he immediately ordered: "Everyone in the car is on alert!"
The Cossacks are a group of nomadic communities living in the Eastern European steppes (Ukraine, southern Russia). They are historically known for their bravery and superb riding skills. They were the main force supporting the expansion of the Russian Empire eastward into Siberia in the 17th century. Cossacks are known for their bravery and fighting skills. In Russian history, the Tsar controlled the Cossacks by bribing senior Cossack figures. The cavalry composed of Cossacks has always been an important force in Tsarist Russia. After the October Revolution, a small number of Cossacks joined the Soviet Red Army of the Bolshevik government, and most of them joined the anti-government White Army. Semyonov was the leader of such a group of White Army.
Sure enough, after a while, when the train turned around the foot of the mountain, Kolchak saw Semyonov in a smart suit galloping towards him. A vigorous rider was ordered to step forward and shouted loudly next to the carriage near Kolchak: "Keep the gold and let you enter Ulan-Ude!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 388 Fire merger

Semyonov is full of confidence in this trip.
The "Intervention Army" composed of French generals and Czech Legions has decided to betray Kolchak in exchange for a guarantee of their safe departure from Russia. But the Cossacks cannot leave their homeland, and if the Japanese cannot calm down the situation, they will have to bear the Soviet Russian government's severe prosecution for their betrayal. If we could grab that batch of gold that was extremely attractive to the Soviet Russian government, would we be able to atone for our sins?
As for the friendship with Kolchak, bah! It was this incompetent guy who dragged everyone down, but the huge changes in Irkutsk allowed him to escape easily. No matter what, Kolchak's role has disappeared, and his ending is nothing more than handing over this batch of gold to the Japanese and obtaining asylum. In the same way, why not get some benefits for himself at this last moment? He originally planned to wait until Kolchak and the troops in Irkutsk, which had been transformed into the "political center" of the Red Army, merged, and then opportunistically take advantage of Chita in his hometown, but unfortunately he learned of an astonishing incident. News: Kolchak actually wants to change his route to Mongolia in the south!
He was convinced of this news, because the source of the news was the Intelligence Section of the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters in Manchuria, and they had been staring at Kolchak for more than a day or two. After learning the news, Semyonov decided to hijack the car in advance.
The arrogant Kolchak deeply abhors treachery. He is a soldier and has the dignity of a soldier. He would never accept a retaliation from his former companion, especially if someone used him as a backstop. What about Cossack cavalry? No matter how good their riding skills are, can they still rush into a carriage made of steel?
He was wrong. The Cossack cavalry really deserved their fame. On galloping horseback, they could still aim at the head of Kolchak's pro-combatants lying in the car window. However, his own soldiers, under the opponent's extremely accurate marksmanship and powerful firepower, had to lower their heads and shoot aimlessly out of the window, as if to embolden themselves.
The iron carriage was riddled with bullet holes, and his few guards suffered heavy casualties under the Cossacks' guns and gradually became exhausted. Seeing that the situation was not good, Petrov rushed to him and said loudly: "Our army can't resist it anymore, why not negotiate with them, and we will give them half of the gold!" Yes, in the face of life, no matter how much, Wealth has no meaning anymore. Even this experienced general felt that he could no longer resist, let alone others!
As a last resort, Kolchak agreed to give it a try.
The negotiations between the two parties went surprisingly smoothly. Semyonov said happily that as long as the high ministry handed over 30 boxes of gold, he would guarantee with the reputation of the Cossacks that he would never attack Kolchak again. When he thought about it, the road ahead was Kolchak's point of no return. He was consuming all his strength here. Even if he grabbed all the gold, he wouldn't be able to look good. After all, such a huge wealth is being stared at by heroes from all walks of life. If you have the opportunity to reap the benefits easily, why not?
It is impossible to say that Kolchak does not feel distressed. After all, he risked his life to personally escort the car thousands of miles to get here. Nearly half of the original 64 boxes of gold had to be divided, but the situation was stronger than others, and there were any solution? These hateful Cossacks can't do much against the Red Army, but they can do a great job against their own people!
Just when the two sides turned off the flames and shook hands and had a good time, gunshots like fried beans suddenly rang out from all sides. The Cossack cavalry who were caught off guard had just been happily immersed in the dream of getting gold. Before they could mount their horses, they were swept down in large areas. If you listen carefully, there is also the sound of portable cavalry machine guns in the middle.
Semenov’s face suddenly turned pale. With this firepower and troop strength, could it be that the Soviet Red Army came to kill them? Didn't I just negotiate terms of exchange with them? They turned against each other so quickly because of gold? !
After intensive shooting, the Cossack cavalry was defeated, but the opponent did not seem to want to kill them all. After a chirping order was passed, a group of cavalry waving sun flags came out from behind the Sayan Ridge.
The leader of this team is a short oriental man, wearing a command knife, staring at a Japanese mustache at the corner of his mouth, and wearing a pair of snow-white gloves on his left hand holding the reins. He waved his hand, and immediately behind him, an equally short Eastern man shouted: "Hai!" and immediately clapped his horse forward.
Kolchak and Semyonov were both surprised and confused. None of them would have thought that they would encounter Japanese troops here! Now it can be confirmed that besides the Japanese soldiers, who else has such powerful firepower and strong troops?
The Japanese soldier who came over was obviously a translator. He looked down at everyone in fluent Russian and said loudly: "The First Division of the Third Division of the Empire of Japan in Manchuria has been ordered to take over the military ranks! You must leave here immediately, without any mistakes!"
&nbThey began to taste the feeling of being wronged: they would not have thought that the September 18th, July 7th Incident, and the Battle of Songhu were all events where the Japanese either lost their soldiers first, or the Chinese soldiers fired first
As for Kolchak and his group, they disappeared from this world without any sound. Since then there have been many rumors: Was he killed and silenced by the Cossacks? Will it be wiped out by the Japanese? Is it possible that Kolchak hid this gold when he saw something was wrong? Most likely, will it be thrown into the deep Lake Baikal? Since then, there have been many treasure hunters on the shores of Lake Baikal, and in the early 1930s, a deep-diving team from the United States came here.
Only Zhang Hanqing, Gao Jiyi and others knew that the Japanese suffered a dumb loss. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 389 Looking northwest
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
After settling Mongolia, Zhang Hanqing, who had a heavy army, naturally wanted to take the next step. According to the established plan, Zhang Hanqing formed the "Anxi Army to stabilize the northwest", referred to as the "Anxi Army", and appointed himself the commander-in-chief, in the name of crusading against Zhang Guangjian and stabilizing the northwest.
He used the 1st Division of Han Linchun and the 1st Division of the Jieyi Qiaoyuan Special Forces Brigade, the 1st Guards Division, and two independent brigades of Song Jiuling and Qi Enming as the main force of the "Anxi Army", and also transferred the 1st Guards Brigade Student Training Group led by Wang Yizhe from Liaoning , on November 20, the two armies took a pledge of arms from the Ongjin Valley in Mongolia.
?? Han Linchun is the first brave general under his command, he is resourceful and does not stick to trivial matters. Based on the reality that the northwest is vast, sparsely populated and lacking in resources, he proposed to adopt a "quick war and quick decision" strategically and a "violent attack and hard attack" tactically. The operational requirement is to "annihilate the main force of the enemy" and the operational purpose is to "win the enemy's territory." All victory”. What a joke, with so many people and such strong firepower, if we can't defeat a few tired soldiers from remote and poor provinces, we'd be ashamed to death.
In order to enhance the military power, Zhang Hanqing mimeographed thousands of copies of the "Message to the Northwest Generals", which said: "Our army does not distinguish between races, does not pay attention to region, does not care about relatives, regardless of religion, and appoints talents and talents. . I lead an army of one hundred thousand, and I am invincible. I am looking at Shuo Fang in the palm of my hand. If I take Longban and explore the bag, I can throw a whip into the Yellow River and cross it in a day. I can drink my horse in Qinghai, which is not far away."
With Han Linchun's entire division of the Fengjun Army, the First Guard Division, the First Special Operations Brigade and the Student Teaching Group as the left route army, they attacked Yinchuan via the Alxa League, with Han Linchun as the commander-in-chief. Assemble two regiments of the cavalry brigade of Zhang Chengde's "Anmeng Army", and the Song Jiuling Independent Brigade and Qi Enming Independent Brigade of the Fengjun Army who came from behind to support them. There are about 25,000 people as the right route army, with Guo Songling as the commander-in-chief, and the weak troops along Juyanhai Shuihe attacked Suzhou and Ganzhou as a feint attack. Zhang Hanqing moved with the Left Route Army.
The main force of the Guards Division did not follow the battle because it was worried about the recurrence of Mongolia in history. It was left in Mongolia to assist Ji Yiqiao in reorganizing the Mongolian security forces and as general backup.
There is a reason why we chose the northwest direction as the breakthrough point.
Before the Zhi-Wan War, the Anhui clique once owned northern Zhili (Beijing, Tianjin, Rehe, Chahar), Shandong, Shanghai, Anhui, Shaanxi, Fujian and other provinces, and also took advantage of the central government's orthodoxy. Of course, Fengjun would not They dare to openly target the Central Committee as their enemy, and they are not strong enough. Therefore, going north to Hulunbuir is a good strategy. Solving the Mongolian problem is a move that wins the hearts of the people, but it has no significant effect on increasing strength. It was not until the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government took the "May 4th Movement" as an opportunity to join forces with Jehol and Chahar that the Fengjun Army's strength was strengthened in the north, but it has not yet formed an overwhelming advantage over other warlords.
At this time, the Zhili clique is preparing for a thunderous blow against the Anhui clique: Zhili, Suiyuan, and the three governors of the Yangtze River, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, and Hubei, are brewing a huge war. Because on the eve of the May 4th Movement, the North-South peace talks held in Shanghai collapsed. A major change ensued, which greatly disappointed the Anhui clique in front of the Chinese people. At the end of November, the Zhili clique signed the "Draft of the National Salvation Alliance" with powerful factions from the five southwestern provinces (Dian, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Sichuan) and Hunan to jointly fight against Anhui system. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that a violent storm is inevitable.
As someone who has been there, Zhang Hanqing clearly knows that the Zhi-Wan War next year is inevitable, and then the first Zhi-Feng War in 1922 ended with the defeat of the Feng army. Although the Feng faction made a comeback in 1924 and won in one fell swoop, they missed a good opportunity. At this time, the southern National Revolutionary Army had grown in strength and finally succeeded in the Northern Expedition. Then there was a new round of melee, which allowed Japan to take advantage.
How can the Feng system obtain the maximum benefit in this round of battle? Zhang Hanqing had already agreed on the follow-up strategy before sending troops to Outer Mongolia: the main force of the Feng army would detour to Mongolia, take advantage of the great opportunity when the central and local governments were unable to take care of the northwest, decisively capture the northwest hinterland of Gansu, and wait for an opportunity to peek at Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Xinjiang.
The current commander-in-chief of Suiyuan is Cai Chengxun, the Zhili general and former commander of the First Division of the Central Army. At this time, a big war is brewing in the Zhili clique, so he has a resigned attitude towards the confrontation between the Anxi Army and Zhang Guangjian and others. Not only that, he also gave way to the main road in Suiyuan, letting Dengkou and Wuhai go for the People's Army to enter.
After the Zhili-Anhui War in history, Shaanxi was annexed by Feng Yuxiang's troops of the Zhili Army, and later became the glory of Feng's "Northwestern Army". Sichuan has always been known as the "Land of Abundance" and is the barrier to the southwest. Xinjiang has a vast territory, and during the civil war, it was the strategic rear area. These three places are all good places to support war. As long as any one is captured, there is basically no need for the Northeast United Provincial Autonomous Government to travel thousands of miles away for logistical supplies. Moreover, if Zhang Zuolin is using troops in the northwest, no matter how bad he is, he will not dare to fight on two fronts and go out of the border to cause the failure of the first direct-to-Fengtian war.
In the early days of the Republic of China, Gansu was called Greater Gansu. It was not until 1928 that it was divided into the three provinces of Ningxia, Qinghai, and Gansu. Zhang Guangjian, the governor of Gansu in 1919, had always supported the Anhui clique. Zhang Guangjian was appointed by Yuan Shikai in 1914.??The four counties of Wuwei, Jiuquan, Zhangye and Dunhuang were opened by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In exchange for the troops on the right route passing through Liangzhou (Wuwei) and Hezhou (Linxia) under their control without any bloodshed, they threatened Lanzhou from the north and west. As long as Wuwei succeeds, it will be like cutting off Gansu from the middle. Not only will the march be much closer, but it will also be possible to go south and approach the Yellow River without any obstacles along the way.
The feasibility of this strategy lies in the fact that after Zhang Guangjian, a figure from the Anhui clique, took over Gansu, he used Beiyang forces to control Gansu and forced Ma Anliang, who was at the height of his power, to return to his hometown in Hezhou. The Ma Tingxi clique was at odds with the Gansu governor.
If Ma Tingxiu is divided, the Gansu war will save time and effort. As long as Zhang Guangjian is defeated, when to deal with Ma Tingxiang depends on Fengjun's mood. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 390 Shooting Sirius

Ma Tingxiang was also moved. His soldiers and horses are relatively large among the various factions in Gansu, but compared to the "Anxi Army" which is known as one hundred thousand, they are no match in any case. Among the "Three Horses in the Northwest", Ma Fuxiang, as the Ningxia military envoy, was actually militarily independent of the Gansu governor and had secured Ningxia. Ma Qi has firmly taken control of Qinghai since he established the "Ning Haijun", but he was the only one who was ostracized by the Gansu governor.
Thinking of the "Anxi Army" marching south, I would be the first to bear the brunt. No matter who wins in the end between the "Province Protecting Army" and the "Anxi Army", he will definitely be buried with them. During the time of disputes between various princes, all the troops were wiped out. From now on, his line could be regarded as having no future.
His father, Ma Anliang, had long wanted to occupy Qinghai and strongly opposed the Yuan Shikai government's appointment of Ma Fuxiang as the commander-in-chief of Xining Town. There was an old rift between the two families. Thinking of an old grudge with Ma Fuxiang, he couldn't help but hesitate again and again, hesitating about the order to "stand still and wait for help".
Wuwei is located at the eastern end of the Hexi Corridor in Gansu Province, adjacent to Lanzhou in the east, Jinchang in the west, Qilian Mountain in the south, and Tengger Desert in the north. The west of the city is the Shiyang River, and the east is the ancient Great Wall. For a long time, Wuwei has been famous for its important geographical location that "connects the vast desert and controls the throat of the five counties." Dolly's "Silver Martial Power".
Historically, it was not only an important town on the ancient Silk Road, but also a densely populated and fertile area. After Han Dynasty general Huo Qubing pacified Hexi, he established Wuwei County here. It was renamed Liangzhou during the Three Kingdoms period. During the Sixteenth Kingdom period, four small dynasties including Qianliang, Houliang, Nanliang and Beiliang all established their capitals here. In the Tang Dynasty, Wuwei was the seat of the Hexi Jiedushi, and in the Qing Dynasty, Liangzhou was established. The government is now located in Wuwei area.
On the 25th, the "Anxi Army" right-leg forward Song Jiuling Brigade crossed the Tengger Desert and entered Minqin County, heading south along the source of the Shiyang River. The garrison at this place was Ma Zanshuang, the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of Ma Tingxing's Department. Ma Zanshuang set up a camp near the mountains and rivers. If he wanted to go to Liangzhou, he would have to pass through it. However, Ma Tingxiang was too preoccupied with mobilization and other preparations for the battle. Therefore, Ma Zanshuang only heard about the entry of the "Anxi Army" and has not yet confirmed it. Ma Zanshuang also received some military training. When the news was unknown, he added double sentries and mobile sentries as a warning.
Commander Zhao Minggao personally led a battalion as the vanguard of this surprise attack. He was a senior general in the army, and the importance and urgency of this surprise attack had been instilled in him by the young marshal before the war. Liangzhou has been an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place since ancient times. If we use troops to attack by force, even if the army's artillery fire is sharp, we will probably lose troops and lose time. The soldiers are very fast, and he will be the first to capture Liangzhou in one fell swoop when the Gansu defenders are not ready.
In the early morning, he sent agents to capture two sentries, and then the command post surrounded the Ma Army camp.
A hidden sentinel first noticed something strange. He witnessed with his own eyes the bloodshed less than a hundred meters in front of him, and then countless soldiers rushed towards him. There had been no use of weapons for many years. The soldiers and horses had long been stored in the warehouse and the horses released in Nanshan. When he saw this scene, he was stunned by the subconscious fear. However, at this time, he did something that was extremely wrong in Feng Jun's view. He shouted almost reflexively: "Enemy attack!" while jumping up and running backwards.
This sound caused the Ma Army to blow up the camp, and this dedicated sentry immediately lost his life.
Seeing that the surprise attack was no longer effective, Zhao Minggao decisively ordered the entire battalion to attack. Ma Jun had just woken up from his dream. He was naked, his generals were indistinguishable, and he had no ability to resist. They had a small number to begin with (the Ma Army's battalion was still the old Manchu system, with less than 250 people), and they were caught off guard, and the entire army was wiped out in a matter of seconds.
Zhao Minggao collected the surrendered troops with one company. The main force did not stop and went straight down the river without encountering many obstacles. After four hours of rapid march, he arrived at Yangjiaodu, twenty miles north of Liangzhou City, at noon.
The "Anxi Army" arrived at Liangzhou City on the right. Xining Ma Qi also felt that he was in great danger. On the one hand, he asked the warlord Zhang Guangjian to mobilize all the forces in the province and actively prepare for the battle. On the other hand, he sent a telegram to the "Ning Haijun" troops to go north to Liangzhou to assist Ma Tingxuan in his preparations. Defense arrangements. Originally there was a conflict between the two horses competing for power, but due to the critical nature of the current situation, they had to work together.
In addition, Ma Shirong was sent to Ningxia to contact Ma Fuxiang, Ma Hongkui, and Ma Hongbin, and they agreed to support each other and unanimously refused. Not only that, but in the name of thousands of Mongolian and Tibetan princes in Qinghai, he called the central government to prevent Zhang Hanqing from entering Qinghai. At the same time, people from all walks of life in Qinghai were forced to hold rallies to reject the bill, march and demonstrate, and make bluffs.
But at this time, Ma Fuxiang’s uncle and nephew had too much to take care of themselves.
With the "Anxi Army" approaching, Ningxia's military envoy Ma Fuxiang was on pins and needles, believing that his family's decades-old foundation would be in danger of being destroyed, so he urgently summoned his nephews Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin to discuss the war.
The actual situation of Ningxia’s resistance to Zhang’s troops and their defense arrangements: Ma Hongbin’s commandThe 35th Brigade (composed of the original 5 battalions) and the 5th Mixed Brigade under Ma Hongkui originally had 3 infantry regiments, 2 cavalry regiments, 1 special agent battalion, 1 teaching regiment, 1 artillery battalion, 1 engineering Barracks. In the name of resisting Zhang, Ma Hongkui ordered all counties to recruit troops, and also established two additional garrison brigades (equivalent to regiments), which were affiliated with the District Security Department. Ma Fushou (Ma Hongkui's uncle) was appointed as the Yinchuan garrison commander. Ma Fuxiang, Ningxia's military envoy and commander-in-chief, has a total strength of more than 22,000 troops. However, the combat ability and quality of the army recruited temporarily are far behind the regular army, let alone Fengjun, who has won consecutive battles.
Ningxia City Wall Yinchuan is located about 30 miles away from Helan Mountain in the west and the Yellow River in the east. Stretching across the plain, there are many forts and forts around the suburbs; the west of the city is adjacent to the Tanglai Canal, and the east of the city is connected to the Hanyan and Huinong Canals. The Ningxia defenders used the above-mentioned terrain and forts to form suburban defensive positions. The south of the city passes through Wanghongbao, Yanghebao, Dababao, Guangwu City, and Shikongbao to Zhongwei County, a total of 360 miles; the north of the city passes through Xiejiabao, Ligangbao, Pingluo County, Huangquqiao, and Shikongbao. From Zuizi to Dengkou County, it is 220 miles away.
On November 26, Ma Fuxiang convened a combat deployment meeting with commanders and above of the garrison commanders of various departments in Ningxia. In order to encourage his subordinates, Ma Fuxiang compared the strengths of both sides and said: "The main purpose of rejecting Zhang is to defend Ningxia. As long as the soldiers serve their lives and the people aspire, this will Our army is bound to win for the following reasons: first, our army can get food locally, but it is not easy for the other army to transport it over long distances; second, most of the Ningxia army is native, and they have the responsibility to defend the territory and have good morale; third, our army It occupies a convenient area and can easily replenish troops." He finally said sarcastically: "I don't believe that the Northwest Army, led by a child with a yellow mouth, will make our Ningxia athletes bend! As long as they stick to the key points, they will not be able to do anything in the short term. If they conquer the pass, the winter in Saibei will kill them!"
He decided to concentrate his superior forces and defend several strategic locations, so he adopted a defensive posture.
"Anxi Army" pressed from north to south, with Shizuishan Mountain as the first dangerous pass. Shizuizi is close to the west bank of the Yellow River, and Helan Mountain stands in the northwest. The terrain is quite dangerous and is conducive to military defense. Ma Fuxiang decided to defend it with two infantry regiments led by Ma Baolin, deputy commander of the 5th Mixed Brigade. Ma Baolin has a reputation for bravery in the Ningxia army. She can hold on to the danger and hold on for ten days. As long as there is a chance to breathe, the subsequent Gansu provincial capital troops and the garrison troops in Pingliang and Tianshui can gradually reinforce, and the situation will change for the better.
After the meeting, in the name of protecting local foreign merchants and wealthy households, they extorted huge sums of money for military pay and made the soldiers risk their lives to obey orders, without causing any change. At the same time, he also asked the imams of the mosque to encourage the Hui people: "Zhang Hanqing is leading his troops to the west. Not only will he attack the city and seize the territory, but he will also kill the religion. Only the army and the people can work together to protect the city from massacre."
Throughout the military history of China, the contest between the Central Plains and the nomads outside the Great Wall has always ended with the failure of the Central Plains. Even the great victory of Yuerhai in the era of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the most outstanding, was only a flash in the pan in the long history. More often than not, in the original dynasty, they were suppressed and attacked by the northern barbarians. They set up defenses everywhere and relied on the city to make peace. This is how the Great Wall came to be.
As time passed, the Anxi army followed the footsteps of their ancestors and attacked from the outside in. This gave the Ningxia defenders the psychological advantage to gain the upper hand. However, under modern military conditions, those low earth walls were simply vulnerable. Zhang Hanqing was confident of this.
In my previous life, I once traveled to the northwest at my own expense. Under the dilapidated ancient Great Wall, there were sections of ruins. That's because after the Manchus and Mongols entered the customs, the original Great Wall outside the Great Wall was already within the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and it lost the meaning of repair. After two hundred years, its dilapidation can be seen.
It is the so-called fortress. How can it be called a fortress under the bombardment of modern artillery? The strength of a country lies in virtue rather than danger. Given the disparity in strength, as long as there are no flaws in strategy and tactics, so-called courage can only bring greater glory to the stronger side. Otherwise, the development of the world's military equipment will not advance rapidly and transform into modern science and technology.
Zhang Hanqing has prepared enough homework for this battle. The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and the roads are in extremely poor condition. The march of traditional artillery is more difficult than that of infantry. For this reason, most of the mortars produced by the Shenyang Arsenal were transported to the Anxi Army from the rear.
You must know that in official history, the Feng Dynasty was the first to incorporate mortars into the army in the form of regulations in 1920. Each infantry and cavalry regiment had a mortar company (6 guns), marking the beginning of China's large-scale use of mortars. The first of cannons. During Zhang Hanqing's era, the mortar production capacity of Shenyang Arsenal has been greatly improved. Currently, it is not a problem to produce 150 mortars per year. As long as time is given, doubling the output can be achieved in a matter of seconds.
Therefore, each regiment in the Anxi Army has added a mortar company, but the number is 9.
In order to undermine the fighting spirit of the Ningxia defenders and promote the ideas of the "Anxi Army", Zhang Hanqing mimeographed thousands of copies of the "Letter to the Compatriots in the Northwest", criticizing Ma Fuxiang's group: "They control the territory, are cruel and unkind, use people to do things, and only respect the Four Comrades." : First, they must have the same surname, which is Ma, and they will not be happy if they are not Ma; second, they must be from the same clan, that is, Hui, and they will not be close to each other if they are not Hui; third, they must be in the same river, that is, Hezhou, and if they are not different from each other; fourth, they must share the same religion, that is, Islam (Islam | Islam) Religion), non-religionists will not believe." It is claimed that the "Anxi Army" builds a prosperous, powerful, civilized and new northwest based on the program of "Three Disciples and Righteousness".

Chapter 391 Battle of Ningxia
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
On December 2, the 1st Regiment of Han Linchun's vanguard troops first attacked Dengkou.
Shizuizi is close to the west bank of the Yellow River, and Helan Mountain stands in the northwest. The terrain is quite dangerous and is conducive to military defense. It was the middle of winter, with heavy snow closing the mountains and freezing rivers. The Malongxiang Regiment of the "Anxi Army" and the 1st Regiment were divided into two groups: one group went straight to the front of Shizuizi and stormed Ma Baolin's position; the other group crossed the ice bridge from Hedong at night and made a sudden side attack on Shizuizi, forcing Ma Baolin's group to abandon the dangerous pass and attack one after another. Retreat.
From the beginning of the charge to the completion of the battle, it took less than 2 hours. Fengjun took advantage of the victory to pursue and surrounded Pingluo.
Pingluo is located in the north of Yinchuan City, 120 miles away. The city is small but strong, and most of the residents believe in Islam. Ma Hongkui personally led 2 cavalry regiments as the general reserve force, and used 1 infantry regiment and 1 artillery battalion to defend Beicheng under the command of Chief of Staff Lu Zhongliang. He knew that there was no defense line south of Pingluo, so he encouraged his troops to defend it with all their strength. The city has relatively sufficient reserves of grain, ammunition and other military supplies.
Seeing that the attack on Pingluo could not be advanced, Han Linchun, the commander-in-chief of the "Anxi Army", left Pei Chunsheng, deputy division commander and commander of the 1st Brigade, to lead three regiments to continue the siege. On the 6th of the same month, he led the army to quickly move towards Ningxia City.
The Ningxia Horse Army, which was originally on defense along the northern front, was greatly threatened by the attack of the superior force of the "Anxi Army". It was afraid of being surrounded and annihilated, so it retreated steadily. In order to consolidate Ningxia's peripheral defense line, Ma Fuxiang strictly ordered the retreating troops to move to defensive positions in the Ligang Fort area, and cooperated with the original garrison to resolutely block the advancing "Anxi Army".
When the "Anxi Army" occupied Dengkou, Poshizui, and surrounded Pingluo, approaching the provincial capital of Ningxia, Ma Fuxiang was greatly alarmed and wanted to withdraw the main force of the Ningxia Army, Ma Hongbin's 35th Brigade, to Lingwu, Jinji, Zhongwei and other counties. , while Ma Fushou's garrison stayed in the provincial capital, and telegraphed the emergency to Gansu Governor Zhang Guangjian. After begging for reinforcements, they launched a full-scale counterattack in order to achieve the final goal of expelling or annihilating the "Anxi Army".
But he also considered that if the main force of the 35th brigade moved backward, how could the security brigade alone be able to hold it? If the morale of the army is shaken, it will be detrimental to Ningxia's defense, and his beloved son Ma Hongkui is in danger, so he cannot be left alone no matter what. However, if we do not withdraw our main force first, we may suffer a major siege from the "Anxi Army", and there is also the danger of cutting off the food routes in the rear. Therefore, full of doubts and fears, it is difficult to retreat.
When convening a military meeting, Ma Hongbin advocated using all his strength to defend Ningxia, which could not only stabilize military morale, but also turn defense into offense. After hearing this, Ma Fuxiang encouraged his officers at all levels and said: "Ma Hongkui can still defend Pingluo with thousands of troops. I personally lead tens of thousands of elite troops to protect Ningxia. I have enough power to protect Ningxia. Feng's army ventured deep into the country and had no reinforcements behind it. As long as If we fight resolutely, we have hope of achieving complete victory."
Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia Province, is 15 miles in circumference, stretching from east to west and twice from north to south. There are six city gates, which are closed day and night. The twin towers stand tall and magnificent. Inside the city is the Xita Temple, which has 8 corners and 11 floors. It is made of blue bricks and is extremely solid.
Ma Fuxiang moved many precious sundries into the west tower and sent troops to guard them; traffic trenches and shelters were dug around the city head, and artillery emplacements were especially installed on the north city; rows of photo cameras were hung with wires around the city walls every night. lights and set up surveillance posts at the top of the city. In addition, residents were ordered to dig tunnels along the base of the northern city wall, and basements were also built within the general headquarters (the seat of the provincial government).
Outside the city is the North Tower, more than 10 miles away from the city wall. The terrain here is important and it is the barrier of Ningxia City. Ma Fuxiang also knew that this battle was a life-and-death battle related to the existence of the Ma family, so he sent his nephew Ma Hongbin to lead the entire 35th brigade to station, hoping to delay the offensive of the "Northwestern Army" and win reinforcements for the provincial capital. time.
However, Ma Fuxiang did not dare to have too many extravagant expectations as to how many troops and horses could be dispatched from the provincial capital: the "Anxi Army" was said to be attacking from two sides. Now most of the soldiers and horses from Lanzhou City, the provincial capital, were transferred to northwest Longxi to aid Liangzhou. It seemed that they could support his own army. There may only be the military governor of Shaanxi Chen Shufan. However, since Chen Shufan asked Liu Zhenhua, the commander of the Henan Zhensong Army, to enter Shaanxi to help fight against the Shaanxi Jingguo Army, his status in Shaanxi was not as good as before because Liu Jiu occupied the magpie's nest.
In addition, Xu Lanzhou, the commander-in-chief of the Gansu, Sichuan and Shanxi aiding Shaanxi armies entrenched in Xianyang, is a figure of the Feng clique. He has the first brigade of the Feng clique and other provincial coalition forces under his command, and is responsible for fighting against the Jingguo army in Shaanxi and "rescuing" Chen. It is still unknown whether Chen Shufan can, or dares to come. Ma Fuxiang also sent several messages asking for help, but nothing happened.
"The Anxi Army" fought in the ice and snow. As the front line lengthened, the logistics gradually failed to provide support. In recent days, it was even difficult to find firewood for heating. Many officers and soldiers even considered coffins for fallen officers and soldiers!
Zhang Hanqing had no choice but to see that the Ningxia army was unable to retreat. He wanted to use space to gain time by resisting, but he would have to pay a lot of casualties if he wanted to launch a strong offensive. He has an "amazing" insight into the direction of national strategy, but at the tactical level?That’s it.
One day, he was very depressed. He squatted in front of the dormitory door of the headquarters, held his cheek with both hands, lowered his head and said nothing. His attendants immediately took pictures and wrote the title "Concerning the country and the people". Zhang Hanqing laughed heartily and said self-deprecatingly: "After seeing the photo, I didn't write the title. It would be better to write 'I miss my wife and my children' instead of 'worry about the country and the people'." It became an interesting anecdote in the army for a while.
Han Linchun, who had been in battle for a long time, comforted Zhang Hanqing and said: "Young marshal, don't worry, I have planned to use the division's cavalry regiment to harass the rear of the Ningxia provincial capital and cut off the Ningxia army's food routes. They will be defeated without a fight." Zhang Hanqing had an idea. As soon as I moved, I remembered the trick of "siege the city and call for reinforcements" that I admired most in war movies in my previous life: If you don't do it, I will force you to do it. This is also what is said in the art of war, ‘attack it and save it’!
He thought deeply for a moment, took the battle map, pointed at Yinchuan City and said, "I have a way: to lay siege to the city explicitly and to ambush troops halfway. When the siege is urgent, Ma Hongbin will return troops to rescue the city, and our army can be annihilated halfway. Yes." Han Linchun nodded and praised.
So the 4th brigade often went through the military department to confront Ma Hongbin's 35th brigade ten miles north of Yinchuan City. Taking advantage of the heavy freeze in the Yellow River, the 11th brigade ran to the east of the Yellow River at night at Zhaolin, bypassed the Great Wall Pass, and then took a circuitous route from the east of the river to Yinchuan at night. Under the city, personnel deployment was completed overnight and the connection between the North Tower and Yinchuan was cut off.
In the early morning of the next day, the division's artillery regiment launched a feint artillery attack on Yinchuan, and there was a roar of artillery. The division's cavalry regiment broke through the Huinong Canal and captured Wanghongbao, the strategic point behind Yinchuan at a slight cost. It wiped out a battalion of defenders and harassed the rear of Ningxia City to prepare for reinforcements.
Ma Hongbin heard the roar of artillery in the direction of Yinchuan, and the liaison troops he sent had never returned. He knew that something had happened - he never dreamed that the "Anxi Army" would dare to ignore his presence behind him and go straight to Ningxia City. Between the North Tower and Yinchuan, there is a vast expanse of plains and almost no danger to defend. Aren't the enemy worried about counterattack from behind?
But the situation is stronger than the people, and the sound of the "Anxi Army"'s cannons can be heard without stopping for a moment. It seems that it is inevitable to win after spending a lot of money. He didn't dare to wait and see any longer: Yinchuan City's defenders only had two guard regiments, and he couldn't allow him to think too much. He immediately left the North Tower with his main force and rushed towards Yinchuan for reinforcements.
When he stepped forward, the 4th Brigade of the "Anxi Army" attacked the remnants of the North Tower with one regiment, and followed with the main force of 2 regiments. Ma Hongbin decided to abandon the North Tower and use all his strength to defeat the "Anxi Army" attacking Yinchuan City. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 392 Summation

Having been attacking the "Anxi Army" position for a whole day, Ma Hongbin was almost going crazy: he could see that he was very close to Yinchuan City, but he could never go any further. The firepower of the "Anxi Army" was so fierce that dozens of horses in one of his cavalry regiments were frightened and fled far away.
The Ningxia army envied these escaping horses: How desirable it is to be able to choose between life and death to escape! Originally I thought that fighting on flat ground, the brave and capable Huihui cavalry army would have a great advantage, but now it seems that giving up the dangerous pass is clearly a path to death! He fell into a trap!
He was still stuck in the thinking of the cold weapon age, believing that with well-trained horses and brave and capable cavalry, he would be at least as good as the cavalry of the "Anxi Army" on the plains, and of course much stronger than the infantry.
But when the "Anxi Army" faced the charging cavalry, they fired row after row of rifles in an orderly manner. The regiment's machine gun company used dense bullets to inflict a brutal and almost devastating blow to the cavalry. Seeing that the Ma family army he relied on was cut to the ground like straw and seemed to have no ability to fight back, Ma Hongbin was heartbroken and bleeding. The "Anxi Army" has too much firepower and is not at the same level as them.
But there was no way: as the gunfire from the North Tower gradually became sparse and the enemy troops behind became more and more numerous, it could be expected that the North Tower had been lost. The "Anxi Army" is gathering more and more. If they can't break through the opposite position to join the Yinchuan defenders, the entire army will be wiped out here today.
Ma Hongbin was under great pressure, and Ma Fuxiang was having a hard time.
At the head of the city, he saw the piles of corpses of Ma Hongbin's cavalry and the extremely powerful military strength displayed by the "Anxi Army". Thinking that his son Ma Hongkui was still far away in Pingluo for a pointless and hopeless trap, he felt helpless for the first time. He knew the strength of the troops stationed in Gansu, so what if Lanzhou reinforcements arrived? Under this kind of firepower, isn’t that just a bunch of cannon fodder?
He regretted that he shouldn't have fought this battle: it was obviously a losing battle.
In this case, it’s time to figure out how to end this war with dignity.
He discussed with his brother Ma Fushou how to deal with the current predicament. Ma Fushou had long lost confidence in defending the city. If the whole family hadn't been here, he would have thought of abandoning the city and fleeing. Seeing that his younger brother, who was in power, wanted to sue for peace, he agreed: "Our army has no chance of winning. If Fengjun allows an honorable truce, as a brother, I should go to the enemy camp to explore the enemy's attitude in person."
In the evening, Ma Fushou was ordered to leave the city and asked to contact the top officer of the "Anxi Army". At this time, Zhang Hanqing and Han Linchun were already confident of victory and were already discussing the future operational arrangements of the "Anxi Army" in Gansu. When they heard that someone from Yinchuan was coming to negotiate, the two looked at each other and smiled: It's over for Yinchuan!
Ma Fushou was brought to the headquarters. When he saw Zhang Hanqing, his first words were: "I have been ordered by the Ningxia Army Protector to discuss a truce with you."
Zhang Hanqing smiled slightly and said: "Since you are a representative, please take a seat." Then he changed the subject and said: "The situation is now very clear. Whether or not there is a truce is up to you."
Ma Fushou said sincerely: "The war has been going on for a long time. Many people in Ningxia have died of hunger and cold. Please show mercy to the young marshal and General Han and negotiate peace between the two families. Your army's entry into our land is nothing more than nothing. I also ask you to negotiate terms for military rations and military supplies, and Envoy Ma will definitely act according to his ability."
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "Do you think Mr. Zhang is fighting the autumn wind? The Anxi Army's entry into Gansu this time is to maintain local peace and develop the local economy, so as to end the state of local warlord separatism and establish a system in which the people are the masters of the country. Government! After completing the military control of Gansu, I will work with all parties to work on the development of the national economy and people's livelihood, and with the ideal of "three dishes cooking righteousness", we will open up an unprecedented situation in the Republic of China."
He said: "The two armies met each other in battle, and the envoy Ma Hujun missed the first opportunity for peace talks. Now the two sides are no longer at a truce, but you must surrender unconditionally within a time limit! In this way, the envoy Ma Hujun has done something for the people of Ningxia and He has made great contributions to the country. In the future, when the new government of Ningxia is formed, the 'Anxi Army' will not ignore this merit. We also hope to use the reputation of the military guardian to make a difference in the new government."
Ma Fushou said he could not accept it. He said: "The envoy is willing to give up the entire Ningxia city for the sake of the people, but your army must guarantee the dignity of the envoy and the entire Ningxia army. The besieged officers and soldiers of Pingluo City will allow them to do so." Go back to the city so that you can evacuate with dignity. Otherwise, even if everyone is destroyed, the envoy cannot agree!"
Han Linchun was furious. Could it be that after many days of hard fighting, he got an empty city? The Ningxia army released the tiger and returned to the mountains, and there will be many hidden dangers in Ganpo in the future. Moreover, if a defeated general still dares to speak bravely, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not fall back into his old ways. He looked at Ma Fushou coldly and said: "According to your Majesty's wishes, the 'Anxi Army' was defeated rather than won! The young marshal has already stated our attitude. Can you answerYes, please tell your envoy to inform the military envoy to make an early decision. Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, the 'Anxi Army' will attack the city on time. When the time comes, the artillery fire will be merciless and the lives will be devastated. Don't regret it! "
He picked up the negotiation document that he had already drafted and said in a deep voice: "We have four principles for you and must respond before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning:
1. The garrison forces of various departments in Ningxia are surrendering unconditionally instead of negotiating peace talks or truces. The entire army will leave the city at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Failure to do so will be regarded as stubborn resistance and the ‘Anxi Army’ will be completely defeated.
2. The 'Anxi Army' guarantees that the safety and dignity of the surrendered troops will not be violated. All war criminals will be pardoned and prisoners of war will be released after education. Those who voluntarily return home will be paid travel expenses, and the sick and wounded will be treated. Those who are willing to join the 'Anxi Army' be adapted.
3. Order the garrison and local administrative personnel in all parts of Ningxia to maintain local security until the "Anxi Army" can successfully take over. The received ministries will be led by the head of the department and handed over to the "Anxi Army" for disbandment. "
4. The ‘Anxi Army’ ensures that the private property of the military guards and their families will not be infringed upon. Based on the principle of returning to the Han family, the new government to be established will respect Muslim customs and wishes, fully exercise autonomy under the recognition of the central legal authority, and keep the position of chairman of the autonomous region vacant, and protect the military envoys under its command. Administrative staff will be selected on the basis of merit. "
Zhang Hanqing waited for him to finish speaking, and said with a smile: "What you want your envoy to know is that Liangzhou garrison envoy Ma Tingxiang has led his entire army to accept the reorganization of the 'Anxi Army'. Now our army has marched straight down the right flank. It was reported just now that it has been occupied." Yongdeng, the flanking forwards have arrived at Gaolan, and Lanzhou City is just around the corner."
He looked at Ma Fushou and said leisurely: "There is also a group of cavalry going up the Yellow River and will soon arrive at the foot of Zhongwei City. Where to go, please tell the guardian envoy to make a decision."
Ma Fushou was shocked: the central defender is Ningxia's back-up route. If the central defender fails, the Ningxia army will be doomed. He did not dare to stay any longer and hurried back to Yinchuan. Zhang Hanqing and Han Linchun looked at each other, smiled, and said: "The situation in Ningxia has been decided, and the entire army can celebrate the New Year in Yinchuan."

Chapter 393 Zhongwei Adaptation

In the early morning of the next day, the cold wind howled, and a white flag flew out of Yinchuan City. According to Ma Fuxiang's negotiation with the "Anxi Army", the Yinchuan defenders, with their heads hanging down, lined up in loose formations and marched out of the city to surrender.
Ma Hongbin also put down his weapons after receiving the order, and for a while, the Pingluo garrison Ma Hongkui's troops also settled peacefully. Cities in northeastern Ningxia surrendered without a fight. On December 7, the "Anxi Army" and the left and right Route Army met in Zhongwei, Ningxia, an important city in the north of the Yellow River.
It was the middle of winter, and it was not easy to replenish the logistics of the "Anxi Army". Zhang Hanqing, Guo Songling, and Han Linchun assigned various units to defend key areas, and sent people to negotiate with various factions in Lanzhou to peacefully resolve Gansu.
During this break, Zhang Hanqing issued a series of famous programmatic documents and carried out the famous Zhongwei adaptation of the army. This reorganization is the culmination of the previous changes in the Guards Division and the First Division in the Northeast, and it is also the first time that the banner of "the Party manages the army" has been fully displayed.
The Anxi Military Command was renamed the Northwest People's Army and was affiliated with the People's Party Military Commission and its Northwest Branch. Zhang Hanqing is concurrently the chairman of the Northwest Military Committee of the People's Party and the commander-in-chief of the Northwest People's Army, Han Linchun is the vice chairman and deputy commander, Guo Songling is the chief of general staff, Wang Yizhe is the director of the general political department, and the former deputy commander of the Fengjun First Division Pei Chunsheng, independent Brigade commanders Qi Enming and Song Jiuling, and "Anmeng Army" cavalry brigade commander Zhang Chengde were all members and jointly formed the Northwest Military Commission.
This is the first time that the People's Army was born in a name other than Fengjun, marking that Zhang Hanqing has become a completely independent pole of the Fengtian faction. Emphasize that the army is the party's army and insist on the People's Party's absolute leadership over the army.
In order to distinguish it from the five-color flag of the Fengjun Army, Zhang Hanqing personally designed the military flag of the People's Army: it was designed as a red flag with yellow | stars like the party flag, but it lacked four surrounding small stars, and added a knife under the yellow | star. The guard shape with crossed guns means that the army defends the People's Party. The party and the army are closely related.
The purpose of the People's Army is to "defend the country and defend the people", which is different from the original Northeast New Deal, which mainly emphasized that the Fengjun is the army of the "Northeast people". Because Zhang Hanqing's eyes have been directed to a broader world, his army no longer only wants to protect the Northeast, but also wants to protect the whole of China. Protecting the country and the people is the most noble goal and the source of combat effectiveness of all Chinese and foreign armies.
Systematically, we will implement the establishment of branches up to companies, and gradually expand the proportion of People's Party members in the army. Clarify the responsibilities of the political department established under each minister: responsible for the promotion of political, military, and foreign policies, morale boosting, war mobilization, promotion and punishment, and ideological education. Wang Yizhe's student army originally existed as the backbone, but now it was directly dispersed and assigned to various ministries. These students, who had experienced the baptism of war and armed their brains with revolutionary theories, quickly transformed all kinds of old armies into people's Big fan of the party.
Each division, brigade, and regiment implements a centralized system under the leadership of the party committee. Major decisions must be approved by the majority of the chief and deputy officers, chief of staff, director of the political department, and director of logistics. If the votes are close, for military issues, the commander-in-chief shall The director has the final decision-making power; for political matters, the director of the political department has the final veto power.
Emphasizing the unity of officers and soldiers, establishing a "soldier management committee" at the company headquarters, prohibiting corporal punishment of soldiers, and experimenting with the sergeant system.
Improve the literacy rate of officers and soldiers, follow the "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention", and build a new type of people's army. All surrenders, reorganizations, and newly promoted troops need policy guidance from the People's Party and the establishment of a political department to strengthen management.
The various reorganization matters revolve around one principle: the party controls the army. Previously in the Northeast, due to the fact that the veteran generals of the Feng Faction were self-contained, it was impossible to fundamentally solve the problem of military control in the short term. Now, in this place that is never far away from the central | The principle of "absolute leadership of the military" became possible. This was also the beginning of Zhang Hanqing's official announcement that "the People's Army is an army led by the People's Party |".
In addition, Zhang Hanqing also decided that, except for the three eastern provinces, places controlled by the People's Party will adhere to the spirit of "Central Guard Reorganization" and conduct such reorganization training for their troops.
Now it is time to put the party's management of the government on the agenda. Xing'an and Mongolia, which were completely conquered by Zhang Hanqing, have implemented the idea of ??"the party controls the government" in their actions. In Zhongwei, this approach has risen to the theoretical level.
In the "Measures for Implementing Party Management in Areas Controlled by the People's Army", Zhang Hanqing clearly proposed that in accordance with the formulations in the People's Party's Party Founding Declaration and Organizational Measures, in Xing'an, Mongolia, and Ningxia and other controlled areas, the establishment of a party under the leadership of the provincial party committee secretary The collective leadership system of the People's Party Provincial Committee has been implemented from the top down to cities, counties, townships and villages.
In order to strengthen the party’s power, for provincial garrison troops, the secretary of the provincial party committee and the first secretary of the army will be appointed by the province where they are located.??
The "Zhongwei Adaptation" established the People's Party's position in the army and government, improved the fighting spirit of the middle and lower classes, especially the soldiers, and enhanced its status in the hearts of the people. Its influence was far-reaching, and even at that time, it deeply shocked both inside and outside the country.
The old school represented by Zhang Jinghui, Tang Yulin and others were very disgusted with Zhang Hanqing's methods - these old-style soldiers were accustomed to keeping their promises. They did not realize the huge potential and role of the People's Party at the beginning. The implementation of centralization in the army not only They divided their military power and restricted their various privileges.
They have already criticized the People's Party's subtle influence in the Northeast and the Fengjun Army. Now they want to decentralize power openly and set up a so-called director of the Political Department to suppress their power. This is what they want no matter what. Hard to agree to. They objected on the pretext that the military should not engage in so-called dishonesty, and that when the time comes, multiple leaders or disagreements would affect the reliability of the military.
The sergeant faction headed by Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang, and Yu Zhen were puzzled by Zhang Hanqing's love for Zhang Zuolin because they were loyal to Zhang Zuolin, but they did not comment. The young marshal faction headed by Jiang Dengxuan and Mi Chunlin, and the powerful local faction headed by Wang Yongjiang and Zhang Guogan admired Zhang Hanqing's adaptation very much, and they clamored to promote this practice throughout the Northeast.
Zhang Zuolin has no worries that Zhang Hanqing will have different aspirations - his father's legacy is inherited by his son, and he has always trained Zhang Hanqing as his future heir. If the Zhongwei adaptation can really increase Zhang Hanqing's control over the army, he will definitely support it - ——He relied on conspiracy and gangsterism to gain the support of everyone. Zhang Hanqing is a literary person, and it is difficult to succeed if he follows his old path of panic.
But he was afraid that it would affect his dominant position. If the army was in turmoil and Zhang Hanqing was unable to control the army, his many years of hard work would be in vain. He deliberately sought the advice of his old partner Wu Junsheng, but Wu Junsheng was very calm: "Commander, everything is decided by you. I, Wu Datongue, will always follow your lead."
After repeated weighing, Zhang Zuolin ordered that the "Zhongwei adaptation" be limited to the northwest, and the military establishment of the northeastern provinces remained as it was.
Regarding Zhang Hanqing's "Zhongwei adaptation", various parties have had mixed reactions. The main powerful factions such as the Zhili and Anhui clique believe that the military should be nationalized and political parties should only be political organizations. If each party is allowed to have an army loyal to itself, even if the president is elected according to legal procedures, it will still be a new round of division. They mobilized the masses and students in Beijing and Tianjin who did not know the truth, and denounced him in groups, claiming that Zhang Hanqing was a new type of warlord.
Sun Yat-sen, on the other hand, felt painfully that he had no military power in his hands. As the Prime Minister of the Kuomintang, he was unable to implement the decree. He deeply realized that the party must be supplemented by military equipment. This was also consistent with his philosophy of governing the country through military government and political training to transition to constitutional government, so he reciprocated. Meaning of support and understanding. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

As the new year is approaching, the dignitaries coming in and out of the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion do not have the same cheerful atmosphere as before.
After the "Anxi Army" was reorganized in the central defense, it was not afraid of the severe cold and divided its troops into two groups. Guo Songling led the right army to defeat Jingtai and Baiyin City at lightning speed, and the main force gathered at the foot of Lanzhou City north of the Yellow River. Zhang Hanqing personally led the left army from Wuzhong southward to defeat Tongxin, and then went west to Kehaiyuan and Jingyuan. One part captured Huining and Dingxi to contain the Tianshui and Pingliang defenders, while the main force arrived in Yuzhong in one go.
Pingliang garrison Zhang Zhaoka's troops had too few people to take care of themselves, and they didn't know the reality of the "Anxi Army", so they didn't dare to go out lightly.
The available troops in Lanzhou City are now pitifully small: originally there were 8 towns in Gansu, half divided between Hui and Han. Because Yinchuan Ma Fuxiang, Ma Hongbin's uncle and nephew, and Liangzhou Ma Tingxiang surrendered, the east and north gates of Lanzhou were opened wide. The defenders of Ganzhou and Suzhou were far away in the northwest, and they were rejected by Ma Tingxing. The neighboring Xining Ma Qi shrunk its strength in order to protect itself, while Hezhou's Pei Jianhuai had intentions, but was unable to do so.
The only thing the city could rely on was the troops of Longdong garrison envoy Lu Hongtao, who had just returned from the front line. But how dare a defeated general speak out?
Gan Governor Zhang Guangjian knew that his good days in Gansu were coming to an end, so he even asked the Central Government for help. However, Duan Qirui himself had already announced his resignation, leaving Jin Yunpeng as acting prime minister. Although the matter in Gansu is urgent, after all, it is not something that he, the nameless former prime minister, can interfere with.
Although Jin Yunpeng was also from the Anhui clique, when he joined the cabinet as Army Chief in early 1919, he planned to form a cabinet. He had already had a close relationship with the Zhili and Fengcheng cliques and secretly contacted the Zhili and Fengcheng cliques.
In order to balance the forces of various factions and consolidate his dominance, Xu Shichang reappointed Sa Zhenbing as Prime Minister on September 24, 1919 after his term of agency expired. After the direct and Fengtian factions received telegrams to support the proposal and it was approved by the Senate and the House of Representatives, on November 5, he was formally ordered to organize the cabinet and concurrently serve as the Army Chief.
After he came to power, he couldn't bear Duan Qirui's criticism and censure, and tried to get rid of his control. He also wanted to promote peace talks between the north and the south, but he gave up because Duan obstructed him. This is an extraordinary time to rely on Fengxi for self-reliance. How can we tear our faces with Fengxi for Gansu, which is dependent on Duan and does not matter to him? It is nothing more than a cliché advising both sides to put people's livelihood first and delay the war.
Duan Qirui clearly felt the undercurrent of the Zhili clique. In order to win over the Feng clique to avoid falling into the unfavorable situation of being attacked by two fronts, Duan Qirui did not exert much influence on Zhang Hanqing's movements in the northwest.
In order to make Zhang Guangjian step down with dignity, Jin Yunpeng awarded him the rank of lieutenant general in the army in the name of President Xu Shichang, and transferred Zhang Guangjian to succeed him as a counselor in the general office. In fact, he was living idle. The transfer order said: "As the president has said, we are facing an urgent need for diplomacy. Governor Zhang has been at the border for a long time and has rich experience. He has other reasons to transfer to the capital. It is not to move to the left. Governor Zhang is a high-ranking official of the country, and this president is well aware of it. When setting up officials in the country, there is no distinction between internal and external importance. They are appointed by the ministers, and internal secrets are kept in mind. They serve the country to the best of their ability. We hope that the transfer of the governor will not lead to misunderstanding."
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Zhang Guangjian had no choice but to electrify and express his obedience to the arrangements of the Central Committee, negotiate a truce with the "Anxi Army", and hand over the Lanzhou city defense to the "Anxi Army". Brothers Ma Qi from Xining and Ma Lin from Ganzhou, Pei Jianhuai from Hezhou, and Wu Youren from Suzhou successively expressed their surrender to Zhang Hanqing. However, Zhang Zhaoka of Pingliang and Kong Fanjin of Tianshui formed a military alliance, intending to defend the danger.
Zhang Hanqing instructed Guo Songling to take over Lanzhou, stabilize Hezhou and arrange the entry into Qing Dynasty. He and Han Linchun went east to Jingning and followed the Pingliang Highway to attack Zhang and Kong.
Gansu has a vast territory and the strength of the Northwest Army is limited, so Zhang Hanqing did not divide the troops for guarding. And only rely on major cities for links. Because southwest Longxi is mountainous and has no strategic value, only one regiment each was left in Shizuizi, Yinchuan, and Zhongwei in the northern part of the Yellow River in Ningxia. South of the Yellow River, only Wuzhong stationed a regiment as a strategic defender. Then he gave up the occupation of the central part of Ningxia and the army marched into Guyuan.
Guyuan is located in the center of the triangle formed by the three provincial capital cities of Xi'an, Lanzhou and Yinchuan. It is a famous Hui inhabited area in Ningxia and has a long history. It was once an important economic center, a transportation hub, and an important military location - "blocking Heshuo on the outside, serving as Longkou on the inside, leading Qinliang in the lap, and supporting Jipu".
The ancients vividly commented on its geographical location: "The left controls Wuyuan, the right leads Lanhui, the Yellow River flows around the north, and the Kongtong blocks the south. It is backed by eight counties and the key point of Wansan Town." "The road back to the middle is dangerous." , "There are many beacons in Xiaoguan". Since ancient times, it has been a pass and an important military town on the chokepoint between Guanzhong and the Western Region beyond the Great Wall.
??Here is rich in products and beautiful mountains and rivers; Islamic civilization and Central Plains culture intersect, and life is filled with rich Islamic customs and Central Plains cultural customs. The earliest highway trunk line in northwest my country in modern times - the highway from Xi'an to Lanzhou passes through here.
On December 11, the Left Route Army headquarters was located in Jingyuan County. Should Pingliang be conquered first or Tianshui be conquered first? Zhang Hanqing and Han Linchun have different opinions.differences.
According to Han Linchun's intention, the troops of Zhang Zhaoka in Pingliang, who are slightly weaker, should be attacked first. Jingyuan is closer to Pingliang and can be attacked on the same day. If the Tianshui defenders wanted to rescue each other, they had to pass through the dangerous Liupan Mountain, which was extremely difficult.
Zhang Hanqing believed that Zhang Zhaoka had already set up dangers and reinforced his position at the foot of Liupan Mountain, and that a forceful attack would cause huge losses and take a long time, which would easily give the possibility of reinforcements to Kong Fanjin's troops in Tianshui. It would be better to pretend to attack Pingliang and raid Tianshui, then Zhang Zhaoka's soldiers would not dare to go out of the dangerous pass, and Kong Fanjin would not be able to predict it. Once the Tianshui incident is over, Pingliang can be decided in one battle.
In the military, Zhang Hanqing can be said to be good at everything - never never succeeds. Respect for military commanders, especially front-line commanders, has always been a prerequisite for successful operations. Strategically speaking, I am good at it, but I am an amateur at commanding and fighting. This is a matter of life and death, so we cannot act arbitrarily.
Han Linchun also sincerely respected Zhang Hanqing. This young marshal has none of the arrogance of a marshal or the habits of a playboy. Not only does he have amazing insight and strategic vision, but he also knows how to delegate power in administrative and military matters, and basically follows the good deeds. Military disputes have made the relationship between them more and more tacit.
The two discussed and synthesized the disputes between the two sides, but came up with a better plan, which was to use a feint attack on Pingliang instead of a strong attack on Pingliang. If they could win in one fell swoop, the situation would be decided. If the strong attack fails, it will become a feint attack, attracting the Tianshui defenders to come for reinforcements, and turning into a "siege and reinforcements" trend.
Therefore, the artillery regiment and two infantry regiments of the division were transferred to brigade commander Yu Zhaolin to lead the attack on Pingliang. Zhang Hanqing and Han Linchun led the remaining 1st Brigade and the division's cavalry regiment to sneak into the southern section of Longban along the narrow mountainous area running from north to south of Liupan Mountain to set up an ambush. The mountains here are steep and form the boundary between the Weihe Plain and the Longzhong Plateau.
At 10 a.m. the next day, the storming of Pingliang began. However, the Northwest Army roared at the defenders' positions with artillery, and the infantry took the opportunity to advance. The powerful equipment of the Northwest Army began to take effect. By 12 o'clock, the eastern and western flanking hills of the Pingliang garrison had been captured.
When Kong Fanjin received the emergency telegram from Zhang Zhaoka, he immediately led the main independent brigade to march to the rescue. Hearing the rumble of cannons in the distance, he was anxious. If the lips are dead, the teeth will be cold. Once the Northwest Army defeats the Pingliang Army, they will have no worries and they will need to support themselves independently.
However, the panting Tianshui Army immediately fell into a hard fight. A gunshot sounded, and the ambush came out. The Northwest Army, which had a favorable terrain, cut off its advance and retreat routes, and tightly besieged Kong Fanjin's tribe in the valley from a high position.
The fierce battle lasted for about an hour, and most of the Tianshui army was killed or injured. The remaining soldiers fled across the mountains and fields and were defeated. The red flag of the Northwest Army was fluttering, which was connected with the shouts of victory in Pingliang in the distance. Zhang Hanqing and Han Linchun, whose headquarters was located on a high mountain and had a clear view of the battlefield, knew that Pingliang had also won a great victory.
After this battle, there was no more major war in Gansu. The northwest and northeast are connected as one. What a powerful force this is! With this kind of powerful armament, it is enough to unify China and establish the powerful Chinese nation in his heart! The Anhui clique, the Zhili clique, the Beiyang warlords, and the Kuomintang, go to hell. The future of China will be dominated by me, Zhang Hanqing!
Zhang Hanqing was full of pride, and a poem suddenly came into his mind. Yes, except for Mao Mao's broad mind and courage, nothing can express his current mood. He chanted to the vast land, and his majestic voice echoed in the valley:
"The sky is high and the clouds are light, and you can see the wild geese flying south. If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a true man. You can only travel 20,000 miles."
At the peak of Liupan Mountain, the red flag rolls in the north wind. Today I have a long tassel in my hand, when will I bind the blue dragon? "
Han Linchun was also infected by the young marshal's pride. He looked at Zhang Hanqing calmly and said: "Young marshal, Han Linchun is willing to follow the young marshal's banner forever!"
The reporter accompanying the army captured Zhang Hanqing’s figure standing in the wind and the countless red flags he saw from a high position. A month later, the photo and the poem were published on the front page of Fengtian Times, with the title "Qingpingle? Liupanshan".
Because of the rapid expansion of the Northwest People's Army and the consideration of actively preparing for the war in Anhui in the coming year, Zhang Hanqing was about to reorganize the captured officers and soldiers and recruit soldiers from the Hui people. The famous Hui general Ma Benzhai joined the People's Army at this time. At that time, he and his father were herding horses in Inner Mongolia.
In terms of recruiting reduced generals, Zhang Hanqing referred to the method given by Lin Wei, director of the Military Intelligence Division of the Marshal's Office: high-ranking officers and few soldiers. All newly demoted generals were promoted to commanders of the local security forces, but their strong soldiers were transferred to the local people's army and reorganized to join the garrisoned People's Army.
The two independent brigades of Song Jiuling and Qi Enming were expanded into the 2nd and 3rd Divisions of the Northwest People's Army. The Zhang Chengde Cavalry Brigade was expanded into the 4th Cavalry Division by integrating the original Special Operations Brigade Cavalry Battalion and the Guards Division Cavalry Regiment. This was the People's Army's first rapid response unit. force;
Pei Chunsheng served as the division commander of the elite 1st Fengjun Division under Han Linchun (designated as the 1st Division of the Northwest People's Army) and the commander of the Gansu Security Command. Each division still stayed in the traditional organization of two brigades and four regiments, but all established divisional artillery battalions, and the first division was expanded into an artillery regiment.
That’s because the Shenyang Arsenal, on Zhang Zuolin’s order, shipped most of the new guns to the northwest. The situation outside the pass is currently calm. The existing army, except for a few newly formed divisions, is fully equipped, but the eldest son Zhang Hanqing needs a steady stream of firepower support.
Because of the huge amount of gold support, Zhang Zuolin, who was confident, ordered the Shenyang Arsenal to operate at full capacity. Based on the annual production capacity of 150 guns, the Fengjun Army will arm eight new artillery battalions every year.

Chapter 395 Consolidating the Northwest
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing is determined to turn it into an industrial center in the northwest and a complete military-industrial system with the ability to survive independently as a rear base. As the Fengtian faction grows, it is difficult to predict whether it will engage in early military conflict with the Japanese soldiers.
The distance between the Northeast and the Northwest is long, and the transportation of armaments and strategic materials is inconvenient. China still has several major wars to fight in history. The Northwest Military Supplies has the ability to independently cope with the situation here.
But if you want to gain a foothold in the northwest, you need great courage.
While still fighting against the Ma Jiajun, Zhang Hanqing began to inspect the local customs and saw its barrenness. But when the war calmed down and Zhang Hanqing finally had the opportunity to go deep into the remote countryside, the scenes he saw made people feel desperate. It turns out that the desolate scenes we saw when we captured cities and market towns before were actually good!
Eighty percent of the farmers here are in poverty, except for families with more than 50 acres of land who can provide basic food and clothing. In the absence of significant changes in agricultural inputs and the inability to increase yields per mu, insufficient arable land directly leads to food shortages, which also limits the development of other aspects.
According to an investigation from a previously organized survey team, in March and April, farmers eat weeds and bark, and they also eat oil residue, bran, etc.
By May, there is no grass left on the ground. After harvesting the wheat, farmers threw the flour into the weeds and boiled it with water to make a paste called buntang. It's something like this. Each of them can't eat more than two taels of flour per meal, sometimes only one meal. As for rice crumbs, corn crumbs, sweet potato chunks, and Basan beans, they are all in good condition.
Cotton is produced here, but it is common in the countryside that "only one-half of the people have cotton-padded clothes in winter, and almost all boys and girls aged thirteen or fourteen have no pants."
Because financial institutions are difficult to enter and the conditions are harsh, ordinary people can only borrow usury from pawnbrokers, banks, landlords, rich farmers, businessmen, etc. during times of debt and disaster. This result is inevitable and accelerates the state of poverty.
So much so that there is a song that goes like this: "The wind blows, the sun shines and the rain pours, but there is no suffering in the world: the carpenter lives with a broken door, the stonemason has no inscription on the monument, the tailor wears tattered coats and trousers, and the bricklayer has no house to live in. I hope that this year will be good next year." , I will wear a worn leather jacket next year.”
If the Northwest People's Army wants to gain a foothold here, and if the People's Party wants to gain the support of the people, it needs to make great efforts to improve people's livelihood. Like the New Deal in Northeast China, the first thing Zhang Hanqing had to do was to carry out land reform to squeeze out the waste of land resources, and then give the redundant labor force a chance to make a living through industrial development.
Fortunately, now that he has money, he no longer needs to use various means to "default" and can just purchase the land directly. Since he is planning to use this place as a rear base, why is Zhang Hanqing reluctant to invest heavily?
He vigorously used local people for governance and took advantage of the rich local water resources to gradually develop an industrial system based on electricity, machinery, metallurgy, etc. With the provincial capital as the center, it is planned to build Liujiaxia, Bapanxia, ??Yanguoxia, and Daxia hydropower stations one after another. Together with other hydropower stations in nearby areas, they will form one of the largest hydropower centers in modern times. Preparations have also begun for the construction of Lanzhou——Tianshui and Pingliang. , Xining and the highway connecting Suzhou in Longbei.
As a member of a military family, Zhang Hanqing’s real father in his previous life was a veteran who joined the army in Lanzhou. From his mouth, he knew that Shizuishan, located at the northern end of Ningxia, was the “Coal City Beyond the Great Wall”. At the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, many soldiers were recruited to mine coal here. As the raw material basis for building industry, the development of such coal mines will not only supply the needs of industry, but also create many jobs.
History has proven that the more ignorant a place is, the more frequent religious activities are and the easier it is to be incited. Various ethnic groups in Gansu are mixed, and the people's education level is extremely low. Those who can attend private schools for two or three years are considered educated people. After Zhang Hanqing entered Gansu, he asked troops, party members, and cadres to respect local customs and "garrisoning troops in mosques is prohibited," and he also put improving education levels on the agenda.
It is Ma Fuxiang who needs to be commended. Although he is a warlord, he understands the principle of rejuvenating the country through education. Since the seventh year of the Republic of China, 59 Hui primary schools, 10 intermediate and senior primary schools, and 49 junior primary schools have been established in various counties in Ningxia, with 1,230 students enrolled. In the autumn of the eighth year of the Republic of China, the Mongolian and Hui Normal University was founded. In order to meet the school's funding, he took the lead in donating 1,500 taels of silver. This year, he donated money to establish 5 primary schools in Linxia, ??with a total of more than 500 students.
Zhang Hanqing knows people well and appoints them well, so he appointed Ma Fuxiang to concurrently serve as director of the Gansu Provincial Education Commission to prepare for the establishment of Lanzhou Industrial School (the predecessor of Lanzhou University).
In order to run Gansu, follow the Northeast model, mobilize the masses, carry out extensive land reform, and suppress local forces. The People's Party has successively dispatched a group of cadres to Gansu to actively promote the party's ethnic policies. The Han and Hui people belong to the same family, respect the customs of the Hui people, and create a good situation of ethnic unity. The expansion of the Northwest People's Army is so smooth, and the People's Party's policy is to winOne of the laws of the heart.
"Zhang Hanqing is making such a big splash in the northwest, where does the huge expenditure come from? No one knows, but the barren Gansu Province quickly glowed with new energy, and various infrastructure projects sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Without taking a penny from Northeastern Dad, Zhang Hanqing made Lanzhou become a military and economic center and logistics support base in the northwest in a short period of time, and Ningxia quickly restored its glory in the north and south of the Great Wall. This point makes the uninformed senior people in the Northeast secretly puzzled, but they have nothing to say.
God knows how Zhang Hanqing felt when he listened to Mi Chunlin reporting that his gold reserves were being lost one ton after another! In the Republic of China, each ton of gold was equivalent to 9 million pieces of ocean! But just like that, a new "Silk Road" was created!
In order to prepare for the upcoming changes in the Zhi-Anhui War, Zhang Hanqing successively made strategic decisions to stabilize Xinjiang in the west, Sichuan in the south, and place the main force in the east to prepare for an eastward advance into Shaanxi and expel Chen Shufan, the governor of Shaanxi and Anhui. As a response, he needed Fengjun to choose an opportunity to enter the customs and make early arrangements for the political situation of the Houwan Clique. Therefore, he left Han Linchun to act as commander of the Northwest People's Army and returned to Feng to make major plans.
While Fengjun was stabilizing the northwest, on December 12, 1919, the immediate leader and former president Feng Guozhang died of illness in Beijing at the age of 62. When he was in danger, he dictated Zhang Yilu's message, hoping that "peace would be realized soon. I regret that I could not see reunification in person."
The Beijing government ordered that flags be flown at half-mast across the country for three days. Xu Shichang and Duan Qirui both went to Feng's residence to mourn. Duan Qirui thought of military training at the small station and decades of joys and sorrows in front of Feng Guozhang's body, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Xu Shichang, the current president and a native of the Beiyang superpower, sent 10,000 yuan for Feng's funeral expenses.
This "dog" among the "Three Heroes of Beiyang" who was at a disadvantage with Duan Qirui in the "Battle of the Houses and Courts" finally failed to defeat the "tiger" Duan Lao, one of the Three Heroes of Beiyang, in his lifetime. He calmly and peacefully went. Cao Kun, who was the governor and governor of Zhili, was promoted as the new leader of Zhili. Unlike Feng Guozhang, who focused on the overall situation of Beiyang and worked hard to restrain the Zhili clique from compromising the Anhui clique. Cao Kun, who had soldiers, power and generals, was not willing to be manipulated by Duan Qirui.
On January 17 of the following year, Wu Peifu, Cao Kun's first general, called to request instructions to withdraw from southern Hunan. He then formed the "National Salvation Alliance Army" with the "National Defense Army" in the south, planning to expel Xu Shichang after overthrowing Duan Qirui. Form a unified government for the north and the south.
This move made Duan Qirui very nervous, and it was also one of the important reasons why he did not dare to support Zhang Guangjian in the end: it was not cost-effective to offend the powerful Feng clique for Zhang Guangjian. If the Feng faction is pushed into the camp of the National Salvation Alliance, it will be a huge strategic mistake.
On the surface, Feng Guozhang is just a paper tiger who was defeated by Duan Qirui, but if Duan knew that Cao Kun had come to power and immediately gave him a fatal blow, would he regret having suppressed Feng Guozhang with all his strength? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

The People's Army went on an expedition to Mongolia (although it was called the People's Army after it was reorganized by Zhongwei, but politically it has become accustomed to calling the Feng army led by Zhang Hanqing the People's Army) and conquered three places in Gansu. It cannot but attract one's attention. He began to pay close attention to its next move.
This person is Yang Zengxin, the governor of Xinjiang.
Some scholars attribute the formation and stability of the national boundary pattern in modern Central Asia to two people: Zuo Zongtang and Yang Zengxin - it was Zuo Zongtang who took back the lost territory from Aguba; it was Yang Zengxin who quelled the chaos and maintained the The integrity of the country.
Xinjiang, the most original name is Zhuzhou, and the Han name is Xiyu, which means the territory of western China. This name appeared in Chinese historical records from the Han Dynasty and was used until the Qing Dynasty unified Xinjiang, and then was renamed Xinjiang.
It has been part of our country’s territory since ancient times. As early as the pre-Qin period, some situations in Xinjiang were recorded in classics such as "The Biography of Emperor Mu". Since the pre-Qin period, ancient Chinese people have formed the concept of "four seas". The Analects of Confucius Yan Yuan said: "A gentleman is respectful and courteous to others. Within the four seas, we are all brothers."
The South China Sea refers to today's South China Sea, the East China Sea refers to today's East Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, the North Sea refers to Lake Baikal, and the West Sea refers to the Caspian Sea (some people think that the West Sea refers to Qinghai Lake, which is inappropriate. In the pre-Qin period, the understanding of the Xinjiang region west of Qinghai Lake was obviously far better than that of Baikal) lake area). Within these "four seas", all ethnic groups, including all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, are part of the Chinese nation.
In 101 BC, the Han Dynasty stationed troops in Luntai, Quli and other places in the Western Regions, and established envoys and captains, and began to administer the Western Regions. In 60 BC, Wang Xianshan, the Japanese army stationed in the Western Regions, surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and all the lands in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains came under the control of the central government of the Han Dynasty. The establishment of the Western Region Protectorate marked the formal inclusion of the Western Regions into the territory of the central government.
What needs to be pointed out in particular is that even when the central government did not have jurisdiction over the Western Regions, people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang have always regarded themselves as part of the Chinese nation and have never regarded themselves as foreigners.
For example, in 45 AD, 18 countries in the Western Regions requested to restore their governorships, and even requested that their sons be sent to Luoyang to study as hostages;
In 632, the Western Turks welcomed Nishu, who was Dulu Khan. After Nishu was elected as the Khan of the Western Turks, he immediately sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to express his attachment;
During the Northern Song Dynasty, in 962, 965, 981 and 983, the Gaochang Uighurs all sent envoys to present artifacts to the Song Dynasty. In 981, when his king wrote to Song Taizong, he called himself "Xizhou Waisheng (nephew)".
All this fully shows that the suspension of the central government’s jurisdiction over the Xinjiang region does not deny that Xinjiang is part of our country’s territory.
No matter whether the central government of ancient China had jurisdiction over Xinjiang or the period when local governments existed in Xinjiang, this fact has never changed. But because it is a hub connecting East and Central Asia, Britain and Russia have been watching it covetously.
In January 1865, General Agub of the Kokand State, who was supported by Tsarist Russia and the British forces, suddenly led his troops to invade Xinjiang, proclaimed himself king, and established the country as the "Zhedeshar Khanate". This caused a sudden change in the situation in Xinjiang, and established the state in Urumqi. The Muslim King's regime arose; Russia also took the opportunity to occupy Ili, while Britain was eyeing our territory.
Under this situation, it was Zuo Zongtang who insisted on sending troops to Xinjiang. The starting point was that China simply could not bear what would happen next after losing Xinjiang: once Xinjiang was lost, China's western defenses would have to retreat to the Yumen Pass.
Yumen is a barren land, where heavy troops were stationed, and all grain, grass and supplies had to be supplied from the rear. The means of transportation at that time were still very primitive. A large amount of materials were transported to Yumen through the long Hexi Corridor. The huge freight alone would have become a major problem in China. a permanent heavy burden. In addition, the defenders of Yumen were unable to take into account the defenses beyond the Great Wall. There was the endless Mongolian grassland and there was no danger to defend.
Once the Russians occupy Xinjiang, they can easily march eastward along the Great Wall, "going hundreds of miles a day, directly to the Liaohai Sea." In this way, China will lose all territory except the Great Wall, and even Beijing will become a border city. "There will be more police every day, and there will never be peace."
Therefore, the leftist proposition is: "The reason why Xinjiang is protected is to protect Mongolia, and the reason why Mongolia is protected is to protect the capital." Only by protecting Xinjiang can a complete defense system be formed. Once Xinjiang is abandoned and "self-removal of barriers", the consequences will be disastrous.
Since ancient times, there have been four difficulties in using troops outside the Great Wall, namely: raising troops, raising pay, raising grain, and raising transportation. When Zhang Hanqing used troops against Mongolia, due to the short time, he did not feel how difficult the logistics were. By the time the war started in Gansu, the inconvenience of running out of food, grass, and arms gradually emerged. If there is a long-term confrontation with the Zhiwan Sichuan Army and other forces in the northwest in the future, I am afraid that without fighting, I will be dragged down by the opponent just by dragging myself.
The place of Zhang Hanqingnbsp; After the Russian October Revolution, he established new and more equal trade terms with the Soviet Russian government and took this opportunity to ask Britain to cancel its original most-favored-nation status.
When facing the Russian Civil War, he strictly maintained neutrality and protected the territory and the people. Later, he successfully surrendered the White Russian army that fled into Xinjiang and reorganized it into a naturalized army, thus protecting Xinjiang from the Russian Civil War to the greatest extent.
Diplomatic success prevented Xinjiang from being seriously invaded during his reign.
In the seventh year of the Republic of China (1918), the Altai Minister of Affairs was abolished, Ashandao was established, and merged into Xinjiang Province to prevent it from falling into the hands of Soviet Russia and Outer Mongolia|independence elements.
All of the above are his proud works. This northwest boss who is good at Tai Chi is also prepared to use Jiu Jitsu when dealing with the young marshal who should be very energetic. The management of the vast Xinjiang is already inadequate. To contend with the People's Army, which is said to have as many as four divisions, is to seek death.
At this time, Xinjiang had a population of only about four million, a military strength of less than 10,000, and relatively poor equipment. If Yang Zengxin saw the equipment of the People's Army, he would evaluate it as "terribly poor."
So Yang Zengxin responded quickly and obediently: "Yang is the governor of Xinjiang and is also the economic envoy of Mongolia. The young marshal has elegance. There are fine wines, beauties, melons and sweet fruits here. We should hold a pot to welcome them. We are waiting for you, and you will definitely come back satisfied."

Zhang Hanqing smiled after answering the call. Yang Zengxin's move was tantamount to showing himself a non-malicious attitude, which was good. Faced with the chaos at home and abroad, he has no intention of doing anything in Xinjiang now.
Because it is the nature of the Japanese to retaliate, the Japanese army refused to give up after being groundlessly accused of stealing this priceless gold. They reiterated an old incident that happened in the Far East last year, which disturbed Zhang Hanqing's idea of ??using the opportunity to enter Xinjiang.
Japan’s offensive in the Far East went smoothly at first. In order to carry out this aggressive war, Japan mobilized active military and reserve troops, and specially organized the so-called Vladivostok Expeditionary Army Headquarters.
To be honest, with the current good situation and development momentum of Fengjun, it is wrong to provoke the Japanese at this time. It’s not that I don’t dare, it’s that it’s not worth it. Zhang Hanqing is well aware of the opportunities and challenges that this period of history has brought to China. Therefore, after rejecting the Japanese request to requisition the China-Eastern Railway and instead have China send troops to "escort" its baggage, the Fengtian clique took the initiative to ease relations with Japan.
"Allowing Japanese soldiers to use the Middle East Railway to transport troops through Manchuria using the method of separating men and guns is the best result, because after the slow progress in Vladivostok and Hailanpao, the United States also began to put pressure on the Chinese government.
There is no need to conflict with them at this time, because Japan has been trapped in the Far East and Siberia for four years since then, and basically has not interfered with the rise of the Fengtian faction. This is very important for the Fengjun who is still in the stage of hiding its power and biding its time. What a timely help!
Since August last year, the leading troops of the Japanese 12th Division (one brigade of infantry, one regiment of cavalry and artillery, and one battalion of engineers) landed in Vladivostok from the sea on the 11th. The dispatched army headquarters landed on the 18th of the same month. Thus, a bridgehead for the invasion of Siberia and a base camp for commanding the invasion troops were established in Vladivostok.
When the battle began, the Japanese army mobilized the 12th Division, the 7th Division, and the 3rd Division (the 7th Division was originally a force stationed in Manchuria, and the 3rd Division set out for Manchuria in early September) and divided the forces into two groups to launch an attack on the Far East area of ??Suzhou. One road is based in Vladivostok and goes north along the Ussuri railway line, approaching Khabarovsk; the other road is based in Manzhouli and goes straight to Chita along the Middle East railway line.
The situation in the Soviet Union at that time was that there were only 300,000 regular troops before and after Japan sent troops, and they were all fighting foreign "intervention forces" in Europe. There are only about 25,000 irregular troops in the Far East.
What is particularly noteworthy is that when Japan sent troops, the Siberian Railway, except for the Ussuri and Amur sections, was under the control of anti-Soviet forces. Therefore, the Soviets were unable and unable to support the Far East at the beginning or even the middle of the Japanese invasion. of. Even when Zhang Hanqing led his troops to occupy Hulunbuir and regained Mongolia by force, the polar bear only expressed serious concern and was helpless, leaving Zhang Hanqing with a happy time lag.
One of the reasons why the Japanese army used Vladivostok as its military base was that Vladivostok was connected to the Siberian Railway. The Japanese army fought along important transportation lines and attacked quickly. On September 5, the vanguard of the Japanese army captured a Soviet military train (the military train departed from Khabarovsk and was filled with explosives and was originally used to destroy railway bridges) and then boarded the military train and broke into Khabarovsk. force.
At that time, the Soviet Union had a total of 10,000 garrison troops in Khabarovsk, but the lack of unified command, poor coordination, and low vigilance gave the Japanese troops an opportunity to easily occupy Khabarovsk and seize a large number of guns, ammunition, and combat supplies. . Among them are more than 50 artillery pieces, more than 900 rifles and pistols, more than 20 machine guns, more than 270 passenger trucks, more than 50,000 rounds of various artillery shells, more than 30 combat ships, and tens of thousands of military maps.
The Japanese army used these guns and ammunition to replenish their troops, and used captured trains and warships to launch a new offensive against Hailanpao from railways and waterways.
The other Japanese Seventh Division occupied Chita on September 8. Subsequently, the Japanese army attacked Hailanpao from the east, west and south. On September 19, the Japanese army occupied Hailanpao and Svobodny. On September 22, several groups of Japanese troops met near Skovorodino.
At this point, all the Siberian Railway lines east of Lake Baikal were controlled by the Japanese army.
Less than two months after dispatching troops, the Japanese army occupied the then Primorye Oblast, Amur Oblast, Transbaikal Oblast (now Chita Oblast and Buryat Autonomous Republic) and Sakhalin Oblast (now the large area of ??Khabarovsk Border District). and Sakhalin), controlled the entire Siberian Railway east of Lake Baikal and the water channels of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers, with brilliant achievements.
The Japanese government believed that the expected combat objectives had been achieved, and the continuous wars had worsened the domestic economic situation, so it decided to end the war.
In addition to leaving the 12th Division to garrison Primorsky Oblast, Amur Oblast and Temple Street (Nikolaevsk), the 3rd Division was stationed in Zabaikal Oblast east of Bolzia, and the 7th Division was stationed in Zabaikal Oblast west of Borzia. TransbaikalOutside of China and North Manchuria (now Heilongjiang Province, China), only three divisions were left, and all other armies were withdrawn.
As a sign of entering the garrison stage, Japan transported back most of its mountain artillery and heavy artillery to its country, lifted the call for reserves and reserves, reduced its number of troops, and changed its troops to a quasi-peacetime establishment.
Such a small number of troops obviously cannot control such a vast territory. This is also the pain of Japan's small country and small people. It has to adopt the method of "using barbarians to control barbarians" to support the puppet regime of the Semyonov Organization in Eastern Siberia in an attempt to completely control this area.
However, since the winter, the Soviet army has adopted guerrilla warfare, mobilizing and organizing the masses to strengthen the guerrilla team, and taking advantage of the favorable conditions of the Japanese army's difficulty in operating in winter, it has taken advantage of the cold winter to carry out extensive guerrilla activities, destroying railways everywhere, cutting off telephone lines, and causing great harm to the Japanese army. threaten. Therefore, the Japanese government decided to send 5,000 additional troops to garrison the eastern end of Siberia.
This move does not seem abrupt on the surface, but Zhang Zuolin really felt their eye on the Northeastern Autonomous Government, because the increased troops were not mainly used to deal with the guerrillas, but they were deployed in the Wusuli River. , On the other side of the Heilongjiang River, there is the possibility of crossing the river into Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces at any time.
In addition, the Japanese interventionist army set up a military station in Harbin. If you are not careful, the Japanese troops in the two areas may communicate with each other.
" Thousands of miles of fortification will not help, and it will not be enough to fill in all the troops. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin worked actively and asked the Central Committee to send naval support. As long as there are a few warships cruising in the river from time to time, the possibility of the Japanese army crossing the river can be eliminated. After all, the cost of cruising warships is much smaller than simply using the army to deploy defenses everywhere.
Under the big issue of national territorial integrity, Duan Qirui’s government is still very courageous. Because the main cruiser "Hairong" of the Chinese intervention force and its fleet commander Lin Jianzhang had left Vladivostok in the summer to withdraw with the participating armies of other countries, they are preparing to send another small fleet north to support, with the task of establishing a Chinese political | The government's northern water force, the Jiang Defense Fleet, is permanently stationed in Heilongjiang. Whether it can arrive and be established as scheduled is related to the integrity of China's northern territory.
The Japanese are well aware of the Chinese government’s actions, and of course they are opposed to them. Of course, overt opposition will not work, because the war also threatens the more than one million Chinese expatriates stranded in the Far East, most of whom are concentrated in the Temple Street and Vladivostok areas. The Chinese government's foreign negotiations, including with Japan, are based on withdrawal Overseas Chinese as an excuse.
"Japanese expatriates are expatriates. It can't be China's turn. You won't allow it, right?"
It is said that it is very convenient to enter Northeast China by land. However, the Japanese interventionist army implemented military control on various important roads, coupled with the inconvenience of transportation in winter, so it became necessary to pick up the overseas Chinese by sea. Therefore, it is reasonable for the fleet to go north.
The Northward Fleet is said to be a fleet, but in fact it can only be regarded as a gunboat formation, because its flagship "Jiang Heng" is just a coastal defense gunboat from the Yangtze River Fleet, with a displacement of 550 tons. The other two shallow-water gunboats "Lijie" and "Lisui" and the transport ship "Jing'an" were all warships surrendered from Germany. Among them, the role of the "Jing'an" is not only for transportation, but also has the task of towing the "Lijie" and "Lisui" because they are shallow-water ships and cannot withstand navigation.
The formation set off from Shanghai and experienced many stormy waves along the way, passing through the East China Sea, the Korean Strait, and the Sea of ??Japan to Vladivostok. After a short stop, we continue to go north, going back from Temple Street to Heilongjiang.
These few warships, which were not ranked in the Japanese Navy, were already the few treasures that the Chinese Navy could get rid of at that time. Although their combat effectiveness is not strong, they are of great symbolic significance.
If the fleet is allowed to enter the Heilongjiang Basin, with the support of army artillery, it can control Heilongjiang to the west and the Ussuri River to the south, and the Northeast Autonomous Government can use this to completely block traffic with Russia. In addition, the Tumen River entering Jilin from North Korea has been effectively cut off, and the Japanese army will not be able to penetrate into the heart of Northeast China from the back - after all, contact on land is easy and trouble-prone. Unless there is a conflict between warships on the river, Otherwise, if you send a large number of Japanese soldiers across the river to the Northeast, no matter what excuse you use, it will not be justified.
Therefore, the Japanese soldiers in Khabarovsk followed domestic orders and refused to allow the northbound fleet to enter, and even fired cannons in demonstration. Fleet Commander Chen Shiying had no choice but to park the fleet in Temple Street and wait for government negotiations.
It can be seen from the map that the lower reaches of Heilongjiang, that is, the section from the Ussuri River to its outlet, the Amur River, is the only way to enter the Northeast by sea. And Khabarovsk happens to block the Chinese section of Heilongjiang and Ussuri Rivers. While the fleet heading north was negotiating with the central government of the Republic of China, the weather had turned cold. Local expats on Temple Street told Chen Shiying that Heilongjiang will be frozen in ten days.
Chen Shiying was extremely anxious. His fleet was small, traveled far across the ocean, and was severely lacking in supplies. Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Hanqing was battling with the Soviet Union over the issue of Mokuowei's return. When he heard the news that the fleet going north was in trouble, he gathered a batch of winter supplies from the northeast and sent them to them via the ships of Tuchang Shipping Company.
This is the first time Chen Shiying and Zhang Hanqing have interacted, and he accepted it with gratitude.
Reminiscing about the barbarity and rudeness towards them by the Japanese garrison in Khabarovsk some time ago, this also made Chen Shiying even more disgusted with the Japanese. At this time, a request from the Soviet Red Army made him want to take revenge.
He then played a ruthless move. Although it was extremely satisfying, it was both dangerous and dangerous.

Chapter 398 Temple Street Storm
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The Soviet Red Army did not come in fours.
In the novel "The Romance of the Gods", Si Bubu is Jiang Ziya's mount. Its appearance is very special. Its antlers are like a deer, its face is like a horse, its hooves are like a cow, and its tail is like a donkey. But the overall appearance is like a deer but not a deer, like a horse but not a horse, like an ox but not an ox, and like a donkey but not an ass, so people love it. Its name is "Four Dislikes".
Are all the Red Army members Jiang Ziya? This is not an unofficial history, but the exact words from Chen Shiying's official report to the government: "In a few days, the Red Army came from the north, all riding different beasts"
Later, it was verified that this record should be correct. A book describing the life of Oroqen hunters in the early 1980s explains that the local Oroqen people used elk as a means of transportation to transport goods, people and produce antler. Elk is one of the four legendary figures in ancient books. Elk should be more practical than horses in the ice and snow.
But it’s not like this thing. I still can’t imagine it. Firstly, this thing is a national special protected animal. Secondly, even if this thing can be ridden, the Soviets are all big people but it seems that the Soviet Red Army is also quite capable at this time. It is simple and not as grand as later, which on the other hand illustrates the predicament of Soviet Russia.
The arrival of the Red Army made the Japanese army who tried to occupy Siberia for a long time extremely angry, and armed conflicts with the Red Army continued to break out. In October of that year, the Soviet Red Army counterattacked Temple Street. The White Russian army collapsed thousands of miles and fled eastward, even ignoring their masters, the Japanese soldiers.
Temple Street (called Nikolayevsk in Russians) is the entrance to the sea of ??Heilongjiang, and its geographical location is very important. Japan originally had a brigade of more than a thousand people in Temple Street, four naval destroyers, and the cruiser "Chiyoda" patrolling nearby. But later, because the situation was "decided", they withdrew their main force back to the country, leaving only more than 300 people, plus a total of 400 people from the naval communications team and Japanese soldiers in the country.
Under the attack of the numerically superior Soviet Red Army, they retreated to the Japanese consulate and used strong fortifications to resist the danger. As long as they survive this most immediate period, their reinforcements will arrive soon.
But the Red Army's offensive was fierce, and the war situation was no longer good for them.
So the Japanese instructed the Belarusian army to try to contact the Chinese navy. Although the Chinese navy is weaker, it can run rampant in inland rivers because it is equipped with artillery and can maneuver. For example, the flagship "Jiang Heng" has one Armstrong 120mm gun, two 75mm guns, four Hotchkiss 47mm machine guns, and four Maxim machine guns. Its power is no less than the firepower of a battalion.
The Chinese Navy at that time was all Fujian clan, direct descendants of the Beiyang Fleet, so they had an unforgettable hatred of the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1898, especially Chen Shiying.
Originally, he was only ordered to go abroad to swear his existence and to help the overseas Chinese. He was happy to see the Japanese soldiers being tortured. So when the domineering Belarusian officer came to his residence, he immediately rolled his eyes.
"Our army was attacked by the Red Army. Your army is within our territory and you should send 4 warships to assist our army in intercepting the Red Army." This person had a very tough tone.
According to the obvious truth, the Chinese navy is part of the "Far East Intervention Force" and has this obligation to assist the Russians in fighting the Red Army. But now it is the Russians who are asking for help. This is no longer the case during the Russo-Japanese War in history. They still cannot distinguish the situation, but the old man is too arrogant.
Chen Shiying looked at the fierce-faced Belarusian leader and felt unhappy in his heart. He told him without thinking: "We are guest troops. All of us on the ship are sailors and are not familiar with land warfare."
The other person was dismissed with just one sentence. The Belarusian officer had no choice but to leave in anger.
What followed was the unilateral brutality of the Japanese soldiers standing alone in the consulate. However, although the Soviets had a large number of people, they were mainly guerrillas. Due to the lack of heavy artillery, they were unable to defeat the stubborn Japanese troops hiding in the Japanese consulate.
At this time, because the Eastern Railway and the Mokuowei territory were handled very smoothly, Soviet Russia and the Fengzhi faction started talking and also detected China's actual attitude. In fact, the Chinese intervention forces did not conduct even a single battle against the Red Army, and the garrison and the Russian locals have always been harmonious.
In accordance with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, he asked Captain Chen Shiying, who was in charge of the fleet command at the time, to borrow naval guns.
This is no small matter. According to international law, when a country transports arms to one of the two countries that are at war with each other, it is essentially participating in the war in disguise. Once things are exposed, it is no different than an undeclared war.
Chen Shiying was well aware of the power. He summoned the captains of several warships to discuss and finally decided to unload a 75mm gun from the largest "Jiangheng", a Gatling gun from the "Lichuan" ship and 21 shells to send to Soviet Russia army.
The reason for this is because the "Jiang Heng" was manufactured in Japan and was originally equipped with only one Armstrong 75mm gun, but the Yangtze River Fleet added one more in order to increase its firepower. So logicallyThis huge amount of money can then be properly used after financing projects.
Zhang Hanqing believes that if the long-term interests of the country and even the nation are taken as the focus, the real economy, especially the heavy and chemical industries, and technology industries, should be at the core of economic strategy. Especially for an agricultural country like China, which has traditionally been dominated by agriculture, the development of heavy industry requires rapid make-up work to end China's situation of "having wealth but no industry, having industry but no power, having light but not heavy, having gold but no steel".
Since many of the planned projects are located in the hinterland of Kyrgyzstan and Heilongjiang, which is still out of reach of the Japanese Kwantung Army, it is necessary to fundamentally cut off Japanese penetration here. After the Temple Street incident, the Japanese government repeatedly clamored that it would invade Heilongjiang if it could not satisfy him. At this time, Zhang Hanqing was not in the mood to start his construction plan.
It has become necessary to properly handle the Temple Street incident. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 399 Confidence
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
At this time, the European and American powers were busy dividing the spoils in Europe to seize the fruits of victory, and had no energy to restrain Japan's actions in the Far East. Therefore, the Japanese government was able to use this vacuum to put pressure on the Republic of China government. If you don't handle it well, something will inevitably happen.
Duan Qirui's government is also riding a tiger with difficulty. Be tough, don't dare; accept everything as ordered, you can drown him with just a drop of saliva.
Zhang Hanqing led troops to regain Mongolia. As the commander of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, Xu Shuzheng was heavily criticized by the Zhili Clan. He published a "Letter to the Northwest Frontier Defense Army to Expel the Xu Clan and Disband the Anfu Clan": "(Xu Clan) is an ambitious and powerful person. , taking advantage of the policy of obscuring the people, adopting warlordism, and supporting hundreds of thousands of Shuofang athletes, thinking that they are used to fight against each other. Not to defend the border, but to defend the interior"
Speaking of which, Xu Shuzheng was shot while lying down. Originally, the stability of Mongolia was his responsibility as the commander of the Northwest Frontier Force. He wanted to lead troops to recover it, but Zhang Hanqing was faster than him and left at a moment's notice. After the First World War, Zhang Hanqing became famous, and he could only watch in despair as the snow of praises flew towards Zhang Hanqing.
As for seizing the fruits of victory, firstly, Fengjun won a new victory and had the moral upper hand; secondly, the Anhui clique did not dare to make too many enemies, so Duan Qirui and the clique could only allow Zhang Zuolin to be promoted to a higher position against his will.
The Zhili clique is already sharpening its sword against the Anhui clique, and now Duan Qirui is neither soft nor hard. Soft, it is Zhizhi’s excuse; hard, he is so afraid of Japan even though he has exerted the power of Beiyang, what can he rely on? Therefore, we can only try to resolve this dispute through legal means. Later famous Chinese navy general Shen Honglie and diplomat Wang Hongnian were ordered to go north to negotiate with the Japanese army.
Shen Honglie is an expert who studied in Japan, and Wang Ze is known for his skill in diplomatic dealings. The two of them work together and have high hopes.
Starting from Beijing, the two of them visited Marshal Zhang in Shenyang. Zhang Zuolin is the patrol envoy of the three northeastern provinces and the chairman of the Northeastern Autonomous Government. How can things happen in the Far East go through him without going through him? Moreover, the original destination of the fleet going north was Harbin, which was also under his rule.
In the Marshal’s Mansion in Shenyang, the two met the legendary Young Marshal. At this time, although Zhang Hanqing was still immature after experiencing the life outside the Great Wall, his sophistication and foresight made the two of them heartbroken.
Zhang Zuolin advocates toughness. If the Japanese succeed this time, with their aggressive nature, they will inevitably take the opportunity to do something evil again. Besides, he has been dissatisfied with Duan Qirui for a long time. If the central government dares to fully accept Japan's conditions, he will definitely attack the central government in the name of national justice.
However, Zhang Hanqing understood the situation of the two people very well. He said to Wang Chongwen: "There is nothing to talk about when people are under the roof, but lending artillery to the Soviet Red Army and freezing to death the Japanese army are sensitive topics. These two accusations cannot be made under any circumstances." Admit it, otherwise this matter will become a big deal. After all, these two things are closely related. I think Commander Chen is also a sensible person and will not leave any evidence to the Japanese.
As long as this general direction is set, everything else will be much easier to handle.
After the two of them arrived at Temple Street, they first established a good relationship with the local residents. As far as I know, the Japanese soldiers did not do any good things in the Far East. The local people must have more dislike for them than good impressions of them. As long as there is no one-sided witness testimony, no matter how tough the Japanese are, it is just one-sided statements. We plan to provide 500,000 yuan in activity funds for your use. If necessary, the Governor of Black Province Zhang Guogan will fully support it.
“If it can’t be delayed for a long time, we will spread public opinion to the outside world on the grounds that the northbound fleet has been delayed in arriving and affecting the peace of the Northeast border, giving people the impression that the reason why Japan is making a big fuss is that it actually wants to get involved in Northeast China.
I have already sent a message to my ally and Minister to the United States Gu Weijun to ask him to build momentum in the United States. If you don’t believe that countries such as Europe and the United States really acquiesce in Japan’s dominance in the Far East and Northeast my country, it will be much easier to resolve this matter in the end. In any case, our soldiers must not suffer disadvantages abroad, and our national dignity must also be guaranteed! "
Finally, he said humorously: "It seems that the central government sent two people very particular. Both of them have the word 'Hong' in their names, which means they are destined to have good luck. Brother Cheng Zhang is even more lucky." I hope to make great achievements here.”
Wang Hongnian was quite surprised. He had heard the name of the young Marshal of Northeast China for a long time. His political quality and military performance were obvious to all, but he did not expect that he would have such a high level of consciousness.
500,000 yuan, which is not a small amount, he took it out casually, and Zhang Zuolin, a great man from Northeast China, did not have any objection, or his own intention was unknown. In addition, I never expected that Zhang Hanqing also had such a great friendship in the diplomatic field. Who didn't know that Gu Weijun was his ally?
However, Zhang Hanqing’s efforts to solve the problem were sincere, and the 500,000 yuan was the real price.?'s. Wang Hongnian said with some emotion: "We are naturally determined to fulfill our mission when we go on this trip. With the help of the Marshal and the Young Marshal, our chances of winning are even better. This money is well deserved. We are going to negotiate. It’s not a bribe…”
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "This money is firstly used to keep in touch with the Russian people, but the main part is used to meet the daily needs of our Temple Street garrison. They are far away in a foreign land, and their lives are inconvenient. This is also a little bit of my father's meagerness." Please ask Secretary Wang and Instructor Shen to hand it over to you, it can be regarded as a meeting gift, haha."
Wang Hongnian was originally the acting first secretary of the embassy in Japan. Because he knew Japan, he was temporarily assigned to handle the incident. Shen Honglie was serving as a naval instructor at Army University at this time, and was temporarily assigned because the navy was involved. Zhang Hanqing's title is very accurate.
The two commanders, father and son, really support the proper resolution of the Temple Street incident wholeheartedly. After all, if this shadow is not eliminated, it will be a bomb to the safety of the Sino-Russian border. However, the two of them are not completely doing business without capital. They also have a little bit of thought outside of official business.
The Fengcheng faction is mainly a two-legged army, and its role in taking into account coastal defense, river defense, and river defense is obviously not as great as that of the navy. Although the fleet heading north looks crude, it is already a pretty good naval force in China. Although it may have weak ships and small guns, it is still quite effective in inland rivers. The planned stationing of this fleet in Harbin has already made Zhang and his son feel itchy.
Especially after Zhang Hanqing knew that this fleet really became the private armed force of the Feng faction, and that Shen Honglie in front of him eventually became his agent in the navy. He proposed his plan to Zhang Zuolin, spared no effort to support Chen Shiying to gain his gratitude, and then used money to become a financial backer to support its operation. This fleet will soon be affiliated.
The Heilongjiang, Ussuri and Tumen rivers are the barriers between Kyrgyzstan and Heilongjiang and the borders with Russia and Japan. For now, if it is fully armed and the patrol range of the fleet is expanded, it will be of great benefit to stabilizing the Northeast. In the long run, it can also lay a solid foundation in advance for the Fengtian system to reserve and cultivate naval talents. When the strength is accumulated to a certain level, it is very possible to compete with Japan in the Bohai Sea.
From this point of view, buying a fleet for 500,000 yuan is a good deal, as long as it can be done in the end.
Zhang Zuolin is, after all, a generational hero who takes decisive action. In his opinion, as long as the fleet is on his own territory and needs his support for eating, drinking and sleeping, his right to speak will become more and more powerful. Although the navy is recognized as the military branch that represents the country, it might as well play the emotional card first.
Shen Honglie was also surprised. Only a few people knew about the news that he would serve in the Jiheijiang Defense Command, which was under preparation. Even Wang Hongnian, who accompanied him all the way, was kept in the dark. The young marshal was in the Northeast, how could he know that he was going to "flex his ambitions" here?
The sensitivity to 500,000 yuan is much stronger than that of Wang Hongnian. It is not that he is greedy for money, but that he has inside information at the Navy Headquarters that at this time, being able to bring such a huge sum of money to the military will make people feel uncomfortable no matter what. The Navy, which has a strong anti-foreign character, should not hinder itself so much.
He is from Hubei and is an outlier in the navy. You must know that the main management of the Beiyang Navy are basically from Fujian, such as the current Navy Chief Sa Zhenbing and the fleet commander Lin Jianzhang who first went to the Far East. As a foreigner, it would be difficult for him to integrate into this system. So he said with gratitude: "Hong Lie will bear in mind the kindness of the commander and the old commander!"
After Wang Hongnian arrived at Temple Street, he first did a good job with the local residents. Therefore, during the joint trial, the testimonies provided by all parties were favorable to me, and the Japanese representative was speechless. After intense debate and negotiation, the Japanese side finally agreed that the two sides should stop military operations due to the lack of evidence, but offered to resolve the dispute on the condition that Chen Shiying be handed over to the Japanese for interrogation.
At this time, Duan Qirui was facing the aggressive offensive momentum of the Zhili Clan and was struggling. It was useful to Japan, but it was against the national standards to make friends like this and he would definitely be severely criticized by all walks of life.
You must know that now, no more than in the early days of the Republic of China, the Chinese people are now completely enlightened and nationalist forces are on the rise. Duan Qirui would never dare to do such a disgraceful thing. He only allowed President Xu Shichang to refute the internal affairs of the government | He will definitely be punished according to military discipline.
The Japanese government, which had lost face, brought the case to the International Maritime Tribunal in The Hague while putting pressure on the Beiyang government. The Japanese soldiers waiting to return home in Vladivostok also regrouped and had a strong tendency to advance towards the Black Province. The pressure on Xu Shichang's government doubled. He was prepared to give up his car to save his commander-in-chief and give up Chen Shiying. However, he was strongly opposed by Sa Zhenbing.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Joke! Soldiers bleed but not shed tears. All the big men in Beiyang are more concerned with the sea than the land. As Sa Zhenbing, who has devoted his whole life to the navy, the navy is his life, and the naval generals are his future. He will never allow it. This kind of self-defeating sign happens. On the surface, what may be handed over is just a naval officer, but what is accompanied by it is the dignity of a soldier, the dignity of the navy, the failure of the navy, and the national character!
But as the intensity of protests by the Japanese government intensifies, the voice of support for him in the National Government becomes weaker and weaker. Rumor has it that he has submitted his resignation to the president because he does not want to go through the pain of not being able to keep his staff while in office. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The most important thing is the dignity of the military, the dignity of the navy, the failure of the navy, and the national character!

Chapter 400 Showing kindness and righteousness

Chen Shiying also regretted his reckless actions. He did not regret what he had done, but regretted that he had caused such a big mistake by being so careless - if he had known better, he would have shot them on the spot! It's nice to freeze someone to death, but someone has to wipe your butt!
Whether the country will apologize or not is the decision of the central officials. He has no control over it, but if he wants to hand himself over to the Japanese for interrogation, he cannot afford to lose this person. Death was a small matter, but losing the country was a big deal. He didn't want to be heavily recorded in history, even though he was only recorded as a humiliated party.
Therefore, he summoned several captains of the fleet and said: "If the country wants to hand me over, I would rather commit suicide than agree! One person does things and one person is responsible. I decided this matter before. From now on, everyone will die in their stomachs." Here, if you are punished when you go back, in order to protect the seeds of the navy, you can all deny that I gave the order!"
Several captains have been comrades in the trenches for many years, so they naturally share the same spirit. Captain Mao Zhongcai of the "Lisui" patted his chest and said: "I am also involved in this matter, and I participated voluntarily. Our navy has been in a state of decline in the eyes of the Chinese people since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. If the commander is allowed to be handed over to the Japanese for interrogation again, , that is a great shame and humiliation. If a soldier dies, his ears will die, and this navy uniform must be white and clean. I have decided that this ship and the commander will live or die together!"
"Lijie" captain Lin Peixi and "Lichuan" captain Lin Tianshou rushed to express their opinions. For a while, the captain's room was filled with an atmosphere of sadness and indignation.
Zhang Hanqing, who didn't want to stand out, couldn't help but speak out again. On the one hand, the "May 4th Movement" that had been launched had successfully aroused the Chinese people's hatred of Japan. If the Feng clique wants to reap the benefits of public opinion, it must make a strong statement to the outside world. The experiences of weak generals who brought glory to their country are excellent material.
On the other hand, with the future expansion of Fengjun, the urgency of building a navy has been put on the table. Being able to take advantage of the situation to obtain a naval general with rich experience in water warfare will be a great help to Fengjun, who is a "landlubber", and can obtain the previous The favor and support of the naval department headed by Sa Zhenbing. In addition, a more important reason is that Zhang Hanqing respects Bing Xin.
This author, whom Zhang Hanqing has read in American literature since he was a child, is Sa Zhenbing’s favorite little daughter. This future incarnation of love and beauty once immersed Zhang Hanqing in the beautiful artistic conception of Chinese characters. Bing Xin should be living with Sa Zhenbing now, right? I wonder if the pain of the Navy Chief will affect Grandma Bing Xin’s mood?
Furthermore, General Chen Jiliang led the Battle of Jiangyin in history, sinking merchant ships and warships at the Yangtze River Estuary, successfully blocking the Japanese fleet from going up the river, and preserving the national title of the "Republic of China". Such patriotic generals, no matter what their purpose, are the vitality of the Chinese nation and are worth working hard to operate.
Therefore, despite the opposition of some people, Zhang Hanqing still spoke out. He shouted to the central government from a distance: "Soldiers who violate discipline must still be dealt with according to military discipline. How to deal with him is China's internal affairs." He also made suggestions that Chen Shiying should be dismissed from the Navy and transferred to the Fengjun Army's "Three Eastern Provinces Water Security Brigade" preparatory team as a senior adviser to make meritorious deeds.
In order to make the Japanese side less vocal, Zhang Hanqing also expressed through his Consul General in Fengtian Yoshida Shigeru: "Currently due to the backlash from the 'Paris Peace Conference' and the 'May 4th Movement', national anti-Japanese sentiment is rising. Please do not add fuel to the fire at this time. ". As the mediator, Zhang Hanqing can ask Chen Shiying to change his name and withdraw from the current navy service, so that both governments can step down.
At this time, on the battlefield in the Far East, the Soviet Red Army reversed its initial decline. After defeating the White Russian Army in Europe, they defeated Kolchak, the leader of the White Army entrenched in Siberia, in Irkutsk before the end of the year. Subsequently, he sent his troops eastward and defeated the foreign intervention force (i.e. the expeditionary force) at Lake Baikal.
Because the United States, Britain, and France had been in a state of hostility with Soviet Russia for a long time, and had no success for a long time, they all wanted to retreat.
But the Soviet Red Army was reluctant to leave and followed Kolchak's footsteps into Siberia. The forward was composed of guerrillas led by Tripitsyn. The Temple Street incident occurred because the main force of the Japanese army was completely destroyed.
They were defeated by themselves.
The military discipline of the Japanese army has indeed inherited the fine traditions of the pioneers and is as poor as ever. Their burning, killing and looting when they invaded China was actually their habit. As early as when they interfered in the Soviet revolution, Japanese officers and soldiers stationed in Russia regularly harassed civilians and snatched Russian "flower girls" everywhere.
Of course, this also brought serious consequences. A senior Japanese military officer who returned from an inspection on the Russian front said that the spread of the disease caused by Gongshennuqian at least caused the Japanese soldiers of an entire division to lose their combat effectiveness. The actual situation may not be the same. Less than 10,000 people.
“ Moreover, the evil deeds of the Japanese army also aroused the disgust of local residents.The reason why the strike force grew stronger as it fought was inseparable from the hatred of the local Russians against Japan. Not only did the local Russians hate the Japanese, but about 800 long-term Chinese residents in Russia voluntarily signed up to join the Soviet Red Guards.
The Japanese Expeditionary Force, which is caught in the People's War, is asking for additional troops. At this time, the Japanese government is not willing to make another disturbance in China. In view of the situation in China, I have to agree with Zhang Hanqing's suggestion.
Zhang Zuolin then called the Beiyang government to explain this idea in detail. The Beiyang government was afraid of this hot potato, and what Zhang Zuolin said was exactly what he meant.
Therefore, among the four conditions proposed by the Japanese government, "the Chinese minister in Japan apologized to the Japanese government and compensated a certain amount of pension to the families of the Japanese officers and soldiers who died." The central government did this.
However, the matter of "an apology from the Chinese Navy stationed in Temple Street to the Japanese Commander-in-Chief" was revealed, and the Chinese responsible for the matter were "severely punished." Fleet Commander Chen Shiying voluntarily resigned and was removed from the list of active naval officers. The delisting was compromised.
Chen Shiying was grateful for the life-saving grace of Fengxi, so he resolutely joined Fengxi, changed his name to Chen Jiliang, and made suggestions for the establishment of Fengxi's navy.
After the crisis was resolved, the Beiyang Government's Navy ordered Mao Zhongcai to act as commander of the Northbound Fleet. The Japanese army stationed in Khabarovsk allowed the Northbound Fleet to enter Heilongjiang. The Northbound Fleet, which had been drifting at sea for 445 days, finally anchored at Harbin Port and rested.
So it is not that you will be beaten if you fall behind, but you will be beaten if you are lagging behind and have no spine. A weak country has no diplomacy. When Empress Dowager Cixi comes to power, Chen Shiying's life will be over.
Adversity reveals the heart, and Sa Zhenbing, who racked his brains to save his men, was moved by Zhang Hanqing's fearless spirit in adhering to the national and military standards. Although he has emphasized the establishment of a centralized central government throughout his life, he has never shown disdain towards local warlords. . But through this incident, I still had a good impression of Zhang Hanqing, the son of a warlord.
He also reciprocated the favor and gave Feng Xi a lot of benefits in several subsequent interactions. This is discussed later. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

The tough voices of Zhang and his son shocked the Japanese government. They never expected that Zhang Zuolin, who was originally supported by him, would be more courageous than their government and dared to openly challenge Japan. This made them Caught off guard.
According to intelligence confirmation, Fengjun has formed 8 organic divisions, 4 border defense and security army headquarters (division level), and 1 Middle East Road Protection Army headquarters. The People's Army also has 4 organic divisions and a Mongolian security army headquarters (division level), and its strength cannot be underestimated. If a major conflict really breaks out, the South Manchuria Railway Guards are far from their opponents. They will have to recruit at least 5 or more divisions from the country to subdue them - this is their confident idea - and they are already in peace. Armed limit in state.
But just deploying intervention troops in the Far East has already drained Japan's finances. How can it be interested in an unprepared war at this time? You must know that although the Republic of China is weak, it is after all a sovereign country recognized by European and American countries. Although Japan has the banner of supporting the Far East Intervention Force, it was it that made the first move, and the reason was not sufficient.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????’?You don’t care about Europe and the United States, how can you pretend to be unfair?
The cunning Japanese government decided not to respond head-on to Zhang Zuolin's "provocation". Instead, they put pressure on the Central Government of the Republic of China, expressing their opposition to this move that would harm the overall friendship between China and Japan, and demanding that the Central Government of the Republic of China The rude actions of the local governments in Northeast China have been denounced from top to bottom. Otherwise, all the consequences will be borne by the government of the Republic of China.
Duan Qirui was currently preparing to face the direct armed challenge, and did not want to cause trouble at this time. He did not dare to disobey the Japanese government, but he did not dare to reprimand Zhang Zuolin. The current strength shown by the Feng Clan is not even comparable to that of the Zhili Clan, so how can he dare to add such an opponent? Therefore, he could only please both sides, and expressed his stance to the Feng clan in a neither salty nor bland manner, hoping that both sides would put the overall situation first, restrain their armies, and regard peace as the most important thing.
In order not to irritate the Japanese government, he issued an order to the Kyrgyzstan-Heilongjiang Defense Fleet, which was still affiliated with the Navy Ministry, prohibiting them from armed patrols of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri Rivers at this time to avoid disputes.
Because Fengjun and the Japanese army faced off at the Harbin barracks, the atmosphere here began to become tense. Although Zhang Zuolin appeared tough on the surface, he was by no means a reckless person. He and Zhang Hanqing had fully communicated and agreed on strategies in telegrams before. "As long as the final determination is not made to fight, the troops cannot be allowed to go to the front line. This will most likely cause occasional conflicts and turn from accidents into real wars." Soldiers have bloody tempers, and it is not uncommon for them to open fire at the slightest disagreement. possible.
"Now Japan is deeply involved in the Far East battlefield, and its domestic political situation does not allow a major war to occur, so this conflict is very likely to be resolved. We must be fully prepared, but we must not act rashly. We only need to continue to exert pressure and be clear Just show your attitude and let the Japanese know that we can't be expected to give in." This is Zhang Hanqing's estimate.
"Harbin is the frontline of our confrontation with Japan. We need a buffer force. I think the police are the best role. They have received general military training and have considerable discipline and can implement our ideas." This is Zhang Hanqing The concept of armed police was being mooted for the first time.
"So we need a police chief who has courage, ability and vision, who can mediate and make decisions independently according to the situation. I recommend Huichun's police chief Wang Geng." In the Huichun conflict, special forces members were used It was his idea to pretend to be a member of a guild so that he could easily be accused of turmoil.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out?????????????
“So this is a talent, but why isn’t his name visible? In line with the concept of not burying talents, Wang Geng's name took root in his heart. Now that you have the chance, you might as well let him play.
Lao Zhang has not yet rejected the candidates nominated by Zhang Hanqing. The main reason is that no one who Zhang Hanqing likes is bad. Although Zhang Hanqing also grasps power, he knows how to measure things. Most of the time, he always puts public interests first. He will never recommend people unless they are really talented. Even some small thoughts will never affect the overall situation.
So Wang Geng was immediately appointed as Harbin Police Chief. He showed decisiveness as soon as he took office. He ordered the entire city to be under martial law, comprehensively investigated undocumented vagrants, prohibited food from entering and exiting the city, and cut off water and electricity to the Japanese barracks.
The Japanese soldiers were able to enter Harbin unexpectedly because there were countless intelligence agents lurking in the Northeast. These people included old Russian civilians, White Army soldiers, bandits, Koreans, traitors, etc., and they were extremely mixed. These people are like rats hiding in the streets and alleys of Harbin, waiting for nightfall to engage in many unknown activities.
?Wang Geng has experience in purging the Koreans to settle the people, and he knows that it is better to solve the problem at its root than to talk about it. As soon as Harbin is under martial law, the enemy and puppets who are "unemployed vagrants" have to disappear, and some people with legal identities can no longer move around and exchange information at will. Over time, it is inevitable that the information will not be so smooth.
As for cutting off water, electricity, and food, it was a unique skill that later generations used to deal with nail households, and it was taught to him by Zhang Hanqing. The Japanese soldiers robbed the barracks, and Fengjun was helpless. But if the Japanese soldiers wanted to leave the camp calmly, Fengjun was not easy to mess with. The Japanese troops who had not received the order did not dare to take the initiative to cause conflicts. After all, the other side was also armed with live ammunition, and they had to consider the consequences of rushing to the camp.
Therefore, it is not a question of whether the Chinese soldiers can provide sufficient strength, but a question of whether the officials have the talent. The Japanese soldiers were not as domineering as they imagined, and they were also very gentle in front of the gun.
In this way, the Japanese army in Kazakhstan can only huddle in the camp and passively wait for domestic orders. This feeling is not pleasant.
The Japanese soldiers behaved, but Zhang Zuolin's hostility towards the unruly Jiangfang Fleet had just begun. The Central Naval Department ordered the Jiang Defense Fleet not to conflict with the Japanese army. As the fleet commander, Wang Chongwen implemented the Central Committee's decision to the letter. Naturally, his move made Zhang Zuolin very unhappy. In his opinion, since this fleet is stationed in Harbin, he has made great efforts to treat it as "one of his own". Eat his food, drink his food, but now he is disobedient when he needs it, the thought that had been in his heart for a long time came to him. In the whole world, could it be that the Royal Land has a disobedient fleet? Even if he needs it again, he will never tolerate its continued existence.
"I want to replace this Wang Chongwen"
Zhang Hanqing has already had an idea about this. It is not easy for Fengjun to intervene. If this newly established fleet can be integrated into the People's Army, it will be a good thing for the few remaining members of Fengjun. He already has plans to build a full-scale navy in the Northeast, and it is necessary to grasp these seeds in advance.
So he said: "I also have this idea. In fact, it is very simple to replace him. Just give him a random name and replace him directly. I don't believe that anyone will support him! Of course, my father should not directly intervene in the new personnel appointment and jeopardize his position." It’s too ugly. I think as long as the Central Committee is not stupid, this commander will definitely fall on Shen Honglie’s head.”
When spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, there is still a lifeless scene inside the Jiheijiang Defense Fleet Headquarters. Martial law is imposed in Harbin, and even the livelihood of this army has become a problem. Because Wang Chongwen had ordered the entire fleet to stay in the harbor according to the orders of the Central Navy to prevent conflicts with the Japanese army. The angry Zhang Zuolin simply ordered Wu Junsheng, the governor of Heilongjiang Province, to send troops to trap it in the harbor.
??What is the use of a navy that is as fearful of its enemies as a tiger? It’s time to change such a commander!
Wang Chongwen knew that Zhang Zuolin was dissatisfied with him, but he was not afraid. The navy was a special system and was not afraid of Zhang Zuolin's involvement. What made him unhappy was that military pay from the Navy Department had to be distributed through Zhang Zuolin's Marine Police Department, which made people feel like they were being pinched by the throat.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Soon, as the factional struggles within the Central Committee intensify, its military expenditures will all have to be funded by Zhang Zuolin’s own pocket. That was the difficult time that tested the navy's loyalty, but he could no longer see that day. Because Zhang Zuolin had already filed a serious complaint against him to the central government, saying that he "embraced military pay, falsely reimbursed military expenses, and was alienated from naval officers and soldiers. The situation was about to break out. This patrol envoy has the responsibility of safeguarding the country and protecting the territory. If the place cannot be allowed to rot, please ask the Admiralty Department to remove him from his official position and replace him with a capable person."
??The navy naturally refuses to serve. How can I say that Wang Chongwen is also its local representative? Zhang Zuolin withdraws when he says, so where should the Navy be placed? Therefore, Minister Sa Zhenbing expressed opposition on behalf of the Navy: "General Wang has worked hard and diligently to prepare for the construction of the Jihei River Defense Fleet since he entered the Black Sea. This is obvious to all and respected by everyone. How did Zhang come to such a completely different conclusion during the inspection?" What is the conclusion? The navy is the most important weapon of the country, and there are laws for appointing talents. If the officer really does something illegal, the Ministry of the Navy will verify and reprimand him, so Commander-in-Chief Zhang will not worry about it."
Although Zhang Zuolin is a warlord, he still has some respect for the Central Committee in his heart. This is something he has learned over the years. As for later showing his true colors as a hero, it also took a long time to expand. The Ministry of Navy strongly supported Wang Chongwen, so he had no choice but to risk the world's disapproval and forcibly intervene in the naval affairs on behalf of the country?
But Zhang Hanqing was completely fearless. He knew that the Anhui clique had already prepared for the inevitable war between Zhijiang and Anhui. This was a good time to pick up the slack. Didn’t you see that when issues of principle were involved, even though Sa Zhenbing denounced it on behalf of the Navy Chief, Duan Qirui, the central leader of the country, had no objection at all? He was afraid of antagonizing Zhang Zuolin!
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing’s empty statement to the Navy did not create any ripples at all. Don’t you see that in later generations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has always opposed and opposed again and again when it came to interference in my country’s internal affairs by a certain big country, but in the end it was of no great use? Strength determines everything, and the Navy Department is no longer enough to stop the expansion of the Feng Faction!
Now is the era when the fist is king. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Regarding the interference of a certain major country in my country's internal affairs, we have always opposed and opposed it again and again, but in the end it has no big use?

"We can artificially create a conflict between the water security brigade and the Jiang Defense Fleet, or amplify the dispute between Shen Honglie and Wang Chongwen. After creating a momentum, my father can urgently exercise the power of the patrol envoy, and the Navy Department will have nothing to say. .”
Don’t blame Zhang Hanqing for not thinking about the overall situation. In fact, he is unable to stop the upcoming Zhijiang-Anhui War and does not want to stop it. He is still counting on taking advantage of it to increase his strength. After the Zhi-Wan war, there was the Zhi-Feng war, which was a fight between vested interests for the power at hand, and there was no justice. But because of his own appearance, things took on a positive meaning.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????… Now, it's just a small way to cut off the wings of any potential opponents, without any hard feelings on your conscience.
When Zhang Hanqing entered Fengfeng, his father and son had already talked about the significance of building a strong navy. Zhang Zuolin didn't feel it before, because he felt that the army with more than a dozen divisions could dominate the territory. But when the Japanese soldiers entered the China Eastern Railway, he realized that the army's defense alone was very fragile.
Transportation is inconvenient and the border is long. With such a small amount of troops, it is not enough to just guard it. Raise troops to kill thieves, but there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. A mobile gunboat is a powerful mobile firepower with heavy artillery. Once there are dozens of such gunboats in the inland Songhua River, Heilongjiang and Ussuri River, it will be enough to keep potential enemies at bay. As long as there is no large-scale war, the navy alone can assume the responsibility of border defense.
Therefore, he has agreed to build up the navy, and the preparation for the establishment of the ninth Marine Police Department, which is located outside the eight patrol embassy offices, is for this purpose. After several months of hard work, Chen Shiying has planned its structure, and the water security brigade has been listed. The only thing missing is the entity - the warship.
Now this opportunity is right in front of you
Zhang Zuolin thought about it for a while and finally made up his mind.
He is also very decisive. Once he makes a decision, he will implement it immediately.
On May 5, a patrol ship of the Northeast Water Security Brigade had a scrape with a gunboat "Jiang Ping" of the Jiang Defense Fleet, and the two sides had a quarrel. It was originally caused by an accident, but because soldiers from the security brigade fired warning shots, the conflict immediately amplified.
Chen Shiying went to understand the situation on behalf of the inspection envoy, but was turned against by Major General Commander Wang Chongwen for favoring the Marine Police. Since Chen Shiying was very popular among the Jiangfang fleet, at least a few of his former subordinates supported him. During the debate, Shen Honglie, colonel and staff officer of the Jiangfang Fleet, also favored Chen Shiying's remarks, which made Wang Chongwen very unhappy. As a result, several captains whom he single-handedly promoted also had tit-for-tat conflicts and had a heated argument.
Seeing that the Jiang Defense Fleet itself was in danger of being divided, at this critical moment, Wu Junsheng, the governor of Heilongjiang Province, resolutely took action and forcibly separated the two groups of people by force. Then he quickly drafted a telegram and sent it to the Central Committee: "There is internal strife in the Jilin Province Jiang Defense Fleet." , the ranks have been maintained with all our strength, and both sides have removed their weapons and are under strict supervision. We hope that the Navy Department will dispatch personnel to deal with it quickly to prevent a major change."
Then Wang Chongwen and Shen Honglie each submitted telegrams, each giving their own reasons, which made the Ministry of the Navy very angry: This Zuolin is really amazing. He said that something happened to the Jiangfang Fleet, but something happened! What was originally a trivial matter has been artificially elevated. The whole incident obviously has traces of artificiality!
However, the Central Committee did not support the navy this time. Not only that, the president also suggested that the patrol embassy offices of the three eastern provinces should take over the management functions of this fleet: "This fleet is used for inland river patrol, and it is cheaper to leave it to local management. In the future, all logistics and supply costs will be borne by the three northeastern provinces." In addition, the power to handle this incident was also delegated to the northeast: "Improving inspection will be handled by Zhang Xunxing."
Zhang Zuolin could hardly believe his eyes. Although he only had the function of "management", the meaning was huge. What does camera disposal mean? That means he has the power to reward, punish, promote, and demote! As the future boss of this fleet, he will enjoy unquestionable authority.
As expected, under Zhang Zuolin's intervention, the "grievance" between the Jiang Defense Fleet and the Water Security Brigade was eliminated. However, Wang Chongwen was still dismissed from his post. The Navy Ministry gave him an appointment as a major general candidate, which was a consolation for him to take the blame for no reason. .
Once Wang Chongwen left, the family property he left behind was left to Zhang Zuolin. However, Lao Zhang knows right from wrong. Political struggle is one thing, but retaining military talents is another. Just when everyone thought a new round of purges was coming, he calmly told Shen Honglie, who took over: "The factional disputes within the navy can be put to rest."
As the messenger, Zhang Hanqing personally led the team to the Jiangfang Fleet headquarters to comfort the captains.Implicated in this incident: "Commander Wang was dismissed yesterday. Some people said that he became a victim of political struggle because he obeyed the orders of the Central Committee."
Chen Shiying, who was accompanied by him, felt a slight thump in his mind. What was the young marshal going to do? He just brought up a taboo topic like this. Only he dared to say it so calmly, right? Is this the rhythm of cleaning? This is not good! Although they were favored by the young marshal for surviving, they were former colleagues after all, and they still had some feelings for each other. In addition, although these captains were promoted by Wang Chongwen, they were still rising stars within the navy. Although there are problems with the previous stance, not everyone has the courage to go against the Shangguan's wishes like the Zhangs and his sons, okay?
Shen Honglie was also surprised. His main concern was to protect his men. When it comes to playing politics, bloody soldiers like them are no match. Who has no time to stand in the team? When the two old marshals told him, they said they wanted to make the fleet prosperous, but without this group of chief officers who are familiar with the navy, it would be very difficult and long to train new people!
Even the captains who had voted for Wang Chongwen before were made to look at each other by Zhang Hanqing's straightforwardness: Is this the time to strike?
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing's next words dispelled their worries: "This is right or wrong. Why? It's right that soldiers should obey orders as their bounden duty, but there is a question of right and wrong here, and a question of principle. That is, obeying orders, whose orders are they? When orders conflict with duty, what choice should a soldier make?
What the patrol envoy asked everyone to do was to defend the country and keep the enemy away from the country. However, the central government represented by Commander Wang asked the navy to huddle in the port and allow the enemy to enter and leave the country as if there were no one around. land! Let me ask, what do we want such a navy to do? In the face of such a major event, I think every conscientious soldier should know what kind of orders to obey.
?????????????????? Some of you are captains who originally came from Temple Street. Your Commander Chen and now Director Chen will be remembered in history for what they did in this matter! Likewise, you will also remain in the history of the Republic of China. Major Mao Zhongcai, Major Lin Peixi, and Major Lin Tianshou (the three answered solemnly one after another) are the pride of our navy!
The tradition of the Navy of the Republic of China can be traced back to the Beiyang Navy. Although our country suffered huge losses as a result of the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1895, there were many commendable sacrifices that emerged, which are always worthy of our remembrance. Why did the Beiyang Navy collapse? Many historians and military strategists have been studying it for more than 20 years. Some of you have personally experienced this naval battle, and naturally have more say than I do.
??????????????????????????????????????????????: Infighting, encouraging weak talents, weak training, corruption and poor military discipline How can a navy like this be undefeated? But its defeat has damaged China's vitality for decades. We still have to look at the face of little Japan. We still don't have a stable sea frontier. We still don't have the courage to stand up!
But the situation will change from today on. In fact, the Army is already changing, but you are just not aware of it. Starting today, the Northeast Water Security Brigade and the Kyrgyzstan-Heilongjiang River Defense Fleet have merged. The newly formed organization is called the Northeast River Defense Fleet and will be unified under the management of the Northeast Aviation Police Office. Our mission is to protect every river, every port, every island, and every inch of sea territory in the Northeast!
I will do my best to provide you with conveniences, build warships, docks, naval schools, and invest fully in training I guarantee that the investment in this fleet will far exceed what you have ever done before. I have only one simple request, that is, you can pull it out and win the battle! My requirement for the People's Army in building an army is "the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road", and the same is true for our navy.
But my request is more than that.
When our strength grows, our navy will also jump from the river fleet to go deep into shallow seas, deep seas and even the ocean. The sea areas we need to guard are not only in the Northeast, but also in North China, the Yangtze River, the Bohai Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea, because they are also ours. The place where our ancestors have lived for generations!
Therefore, I ask you to abandon your sectarian opinions and work together to run the navy well. I know that most of the generals of the Navy of the Republic of China are from Fujian. Basically, except for Staff Shen who is from Hubei, everyone else here including our Director Chen is inevitably from the local people's idea of ??clinging together. Everyone, this is a no-brainer! The end of the internal strife, Beiyang Navy Yin Jian is not far away!
Wherever there are people, there will be left, middle and right. Some debates and different opinions are inevitable, but I hope it will be purely business and discuss matters as they are. We quarrel behind closed doors, and we feel like a family when we go out. We express opinions in person, but don’t have any opinions behind our backs. This is our pattern, and we must be tolerant of others. Otherwise, how can we travel thousands of miles in the future if we all have regional differences? In one sentence, I would like to encourage you all: 'What is wider than the grassland is the ocean, and what is wider than the ocean is the mind of the people of the Jiangfang Fleet'! "
His speech received thunderous applause. The young marshal's encouragement went straight into people's hearts, making them excited and eager to think of a big fight. As for worries about settling the accounts afterwards, they have long been left to Java. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The roaring applause and the young commander's encouragement went straight into people's hearts, making them excited and eager to think of a big fight.

Chapter 406 The Navy’s Troika

Shen Honglie was very excited. For many years, he had been marginalized in the navy, which was dominated by Fujian generals because he was a foreigner. When it comes to ability, he is confident that he is definitely the best among people. He has a stubborn character, but believes in repaying kindness.
In his early years, he traveled east to Japan to study, specializing in the navy. There is a training called "wrestling" in school. The rule is that if a person who falls down claps his hand on the opponent, he will admit defeat, and it will count as one round. Because of his thin and short stature, he was thrown to the ground every time, but he always participated. After he fell, he never slapped his opponent with his hands. Instead, he stalked and beat the opponent, making it impossible for him to escape and win. He did not let go until the referee blew the whistle to stop the fall. Therefore, he was known as the "Invincible General."
As a landlubber, it is not difficult for Zhang Hanqing to know things in the navy. After all, his identity is here. However, he was able to discern people and promised him a lot of money as soon as they met, and then insisted on a plan to get Wang Chongwen to dismount and support him. He was an insider and participated. Previously, it was he who recommended him to take over as fleet commander in front of the commander, which made him feel excited that a man would die for his confidant.
But he wisely declined. Within the navy, which had a provincial status, for a moment, he didn't think he could control these friends who had been with him for many years. For the young marshal's trust, he thought the best way was for the young marshal to serve as the commander concurrently, so that he could assist with some work.
Zhang Zuolin finally agreed. The navy was different from the Feng army. It was controlled by the eldest son in the initial stage, which was very beneficial to him in cultivating his own echelon within the Feng army. In addition, the people who started his career are all landlubbers. They may be good on horses, but they really don't trust them when it comes to playing with "mysterious" things like warships.
There was a person who had this vision and ability before, but unfortunately he committed a crime. His name was Yang Yuting. Now, looking at the Northeast, there is no one with this kind of thinking and strength than my own son, because he proposed the policy of "walking on two legs" a long time ago. In the plan of the father and son, the future Army The strength is strong enough, and the first thing to be regained is the maritime control of the Bohai Bay. The main force doing this work is none other than the navy.
Because Zhang Hanqing spared no effort in lobbying and risked his political life to save Chen Jiliang, who lent artillery to the Soviet Army in the Temple Street Incident, Zhang Zuolin was deeply touched. The eldest son's decisions have always been correct. Maybe he won't see the results for a while, but it must be that the time has not come yet. Based on this insight, Zhang Zuolin began to pay attention to the river fleet.
Zhang Hanqing would not object to this idea. In the initial stage of the navy, he really needed his pinnacle of stability so that the navy's various developments could proceed smoothly. Since there are many inland rivers in the Northeast, there are many places where a 200-ton gunboat can go, and someone's interests may be accidentally touched. In addition, the navy is a money-burning industry, and Zhang Zuolin may be financially willing to spend money for the first time. , but after a long time, the action of just spending money without any results will inevitably make him think. After all, the growth of the army is real. At that time, it might be difficult to talk to someone else as the commander.
But his role is limited to this. He spoke clearly and logically about naval strategy and future development, but when it came to specific management, he was completely blank. Therefore, as the fleet commander, he is destined to be in name only and "retreat to the second line" at the right time.
He stopped everyone's cheers, took out a letter of appointment from his arms, and read it aloud: "Now the order of the inspection mission of the three eastern provinces is announced: the promotion of Colonel Shen Honglie, the staff officer of the Jiang Defense Fleet, to the chief of staff of the fleet, and the acting commander has full authority to handle the fleet's training. , patrol and combat matters;
“All naval base construction, material and fund supply and management, transportation, ordnance, military supplies, health, engineering and other service support matters are under the unified responsibility of Chen Shiying, Director of the Aviation Police Department;
Political work is handled by Lin Zun, Director of the Military Intelligence Division of the Marshal's Office. "
He did not announce his position, but everyone knew that he was the default candidate for fleet commander, but he was "ashamed" of his qualifications and lack of experience in the navy, so Shen Honglie "acted" on his behalf. However, according to his degree of control over the navy, his commander's duties completely cover the staff department, logistics department, and political department. That is to say, the work of the above three departments is under his charge.
In this way, he completely integrated his own territory within the Fengxian system. The stronger the navy, the greater his voice. In the navy, the Fleet Staff Department is in charge of operations, the Aviation Police Department is in charge of construction, and the Political Department is in charge of supervision. The trend of the troika has been formally formed.
Why not call it the Navy Headquarters but call it the Aviation Police Department? This is also Zhang Zuolin's shrewdness: Northeast China is a local government, and openly establishing a navy can easily cause trouble; in addition, there is an international arms embargo against China, and it is easier to acquire equipment in the name of the Aviation Police Department.
In order to eliminate the impact of Wang Chongwen's forced dismissal, Zhang Hanqing promoted all existing captains to one level and formed the command teams of the Heilongjiang, Wusuli River, and Songhua River squadrons, although there were only 8 gunboats in total. . This idea is still based on Lin Zun's idea of ??"high-ranking officials but few soldiers", which has been very effective in recruiting subordinates.
Of course, he has also drawn a big piece of the pie: in addition to vigorously expanding surface ships, he also needs to establish marines, coastal defense artillery, military ports and bases, etc., is in contact with the purchase of seaplanes, and will also study the construction of submarines in the future. All in all, the future of the navy is brilliant, and it will make great strides by following the young marshal's footsteps.
The establishment of the Navy is complicated, but Shen Honglie grasped the root of the problem. He proposed at this meeting: "Young Marshal, I think that in order to support the training of naval talents, we need a specialized naval officer training school. "
Zhang Hanqing took out his trump card: "Director Chen and Director Lin have discussed this matter with me in detail. We need to train not only combat officers, but also technical officers. I have obtained the permission of the patrol envoy to first spend two hundred Ten thousand yuan is being prepared to build a naval engineering school in Harbin to train various talents for the navy. When conditions are mature, I will establish a specialized ship command school and a specialized training ship at the right time and in the right place. At that time, with well-trained personnel and technicians who can produce all kinds of weapons and equipment we need, our navy will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes."
As a soldier, no one dislikes the growth of strength. Zhang Hanqing's foresight and huge support quickly dispelled the turmoil caused by the change of commander. Everyone was immersed in promotion and optimism about the future.
Zhang Hanqing believes that the New Deal in Northeast China has spread a lot, but each industry is working on its own, making up for the debts left over the years. After several years of development, Zhang Hanqing felt capable of doing some in-depth research. It's complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive, simple, and doesn't have a fist effect, but it is a good idea to build some inland river warships and transport ships.
Although the navy has invested a lot, once it is effectively operated, it can completely transform the military into a civilian one. Building warships is far more complicated than building civilian ships. In China, where both military and civilian ships are basically purchased, if Northeast China takes the lead in achieving a breakthrough in the shipbuilding industry, it will be of great benefit to enhance the influence of the Fengtian system and promote the development of the national economy. After all, railway and highway transportation are still in their infancy. In this recent era, water transportation is an important supplement, and it is very cheap and cost-effective.
Unlike coastal defense warships, its armor requires special treatment, which the Northeast’s industrial capabilities cannot do. River warships have no particularly strong opponents. Although the Japanese warships are powerful, they cannot go up the Amur River and cannot move up to Temple Street. So there is no need to pay much attention to it, as long as the tonnage is large enough, fast enough, and can be equipped with some slightly stronger firepower.
A shallow-water gunboat like the "Lisui" has a standard displacement of 170 tons, two coal-fired boilers with 1,300 horsepower, a maximum speed of 13 knots, a crew of 45, and is equipped with two 57mm cannons and three machine guns. In terms of comprehensive strength, it is roughly equivalent to or greater than the current strength of an army reinforced company in the Fengjun Army. If more such gunboats are built, it will be equivalent to the inland rivers being filled with mobile army companies. Their role in stabilizing the hinterland of Northeast China is self-evident, and Fengjun will be free to concentrate on what the army should do.
The pressure of the Fengtian clique to seize power hard began to ferment. The Kyrgyzstan-Heilongjiang Defense Fleet collaborated with the army to blockade the entire northeastern Sino-Russian border. Zhang Zuolin repeatedly stated his determination not to allow challenges to his authority, which greatly surprised the Japanese government and felt that it had been kicked into pieces.
Then on May 8, the US envoy questioned the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the Japanese army’s inspection of passengers on the Middle East Road in Manzhouli, which objectively expressed the United States’ concern about this incident. The commander of the Kwantung Army, Tachibana Koichiro, felt that the stalemate could no longer continue, and he instructed the Japanese Consul General in Fengtian, Yoshida Sou, to make concessions to calm the incident.
Under Zhang Zuolin’s strong request, Japan promised to maintain the old situation and withdraw its troops from Hailar and Harbin, and the situation eased. However, the Japanese army continued to increase its troops along the South Manchuria Railway, which was inherent in Japan. But no matter what, the People's Party and the Northeastern government headed by Zhang Hanqing issued a loud roar on behalf of the weak China, which shocked the country and caused foreign observers to once again focus on the young marshal.
Following the establishment of the Far Eastern Republic on April 6, Oi, the commander of the Japanese forces stationed in Vladivostok, declared on May 11 that Japan had no territorial ambitions in Siberia and would not support any Russian party. After the withdrawal of the Czech army, a government must be established in the Far East | , the Japanese army can retreat.
On May 16, the Far Eastern Republic declared that the Soviet Red Army should stop its eastward advance (Zhang Hanqing judged that this was done intentionally under the instruction of the Soviet Russian government) in order to respect the equality of the two countries and not allow both sides to interfere in internal affairs. Through this expression, To block the Japanese government's possible interference ideas and to obtain a real buffering effect for the Far Eastern Republic), foreign governments should not aid the old Chita Party (mainly referring to the Japanese government), and withdraw foreign expeditionary forces (mainly referring to the Japanese army) ) and immediately established diplomatic relations with the Allied Powers (using a group of tigers to contain a lone wolf?).
Zhang Hanqing paid close attention to this process and sent a message to welcome the establishment of the Far East Republic and looked forward to the stability of the situation in the Far East.

History is still moving in the direction it is heading, but the changes in China are beyond Japanese expectations.
Compared with Chinese leaders, whether the older generation Zhang Zuolin or the young and promising Zhang Hanqing who has become a rising star and whose succession is obvious and unsuspicious, many Japanese senior officials are sighing for their masters because the one who nominally rules Japan now is The "Taisho" Emperor acted somewhat unrighteously.
In 1868, the four feudal clans of Choshu, Satsuma, Hizen, and Tosa joined forces to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate, held high the banner of "restoration of imperial government," and supported Emperor Meiji to usher in the era of the Meiji Restoration. Japan became a constitutional monarchy, and the emperor became the "supreme head of state" confirmed by the country's constitution. So how much power does the emperor actually have in space? Who is the real leading force in Japanese society?
It should be said that the same system, the same laws, but different emperors have different levels of power! Power can never be fully conferred by law, nor can it be completely guaranteed by the system. Power is the result of a fierce game between the interests of all parties.
Since the four feudal lords seized power, the core of political power of the "Meiji oligarchs" has gradually formed, and its representative figures are the "Nine Meiji Elders". Behind them is the dual support of warlords and plutocrats. They worshiped the emperor as a god, and then "borrowed" the emperor's name to influence the country's major policies. The Emperor's will must and only be carried out through them.
With his unique personal charm and political power, Emperor Meiji effectively integrated his imperial will with the interests of the "Meiji oligarchs", thereby gaining support from all parties, consolidating imperial power, and demonstrating the emperor's market authority.
However, when Emperor Meiji died and his son Emperor Taisho ascended the throne, the situation changed significantly.
Emperor Taisho has been arrogant and arrogant since he was a child. He has a bad temper and is easily agitated. When he is unhappy, he will whip his servants with a riding crop. He was also an admirer of the West, with a Kaiser Wilhelm-style horn beard smeared with Vaseline; he was dressed like a German cavalryman and often rode a tall horse through the palace. It would be fair to say that this was his personal weakness, but he is the emperor, the supreme god of Japan! Every move will affect the national character and national policy!
He has neither Meiji’s personal charm nor Meiji’s political acumen. His age, political performance, and prestige are all far inferior to those of his father. As the saying goes, when a person's talent is greater than his temper, people can usually tolerate it, but if his temper is greater than his talent, it will often lead to backlash. In a word, Taisho is a typical weak emperor.
This is the problem with Taisho, and his tragedy is that he is unaware of it.
Before and after China's Revolution of 1911, Xiyuanji Gongwang formed the cabinet for the second time. Taisho's awareness of imperial power was so strong that all parties were obviously disgusted with it. However, he did not have the power strategy to keep a low profile, let alone the political skills to leverage others. . He feels that he is a super awesome person, an awesome person who is protected by both God and the Constitution. He is so awesome that when he gives an order, all parties will immediately obey it unconditionally.
When the Taisho Era began, the political problem was how to reconcile the sharp increase in armaments promoted by the military with serious financial difficulties. After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan designated North Korea and northeastern and southern China as its own sphere of influence, which led to a rapid expansion of the demand for armaments. Therefore, as soon as Taisho came to power, he began to expand the army and strengthen national defense, including increasing the number and equipment of the army (the Ministry of War requested the expansion of two divisions) and the navy, preparing to be better than his predecessors in territorial expansion and military conquest, catching up to or even surpassing His father was Emperor Meiji. He was so ambitious and determined that he simply ignored that his power base was not enough to support his ambitions.
The elders didn’t buy it at first. Xiyuanji Gongwang is the obvious opposition, and behind him are the forces of big bankers and industrial capitalists.
During the Meiji era, the emperor and his financial advisers worked together to develop monopolies and colonies overseas, and received a share of the dividends. Relying on the emperor's support, the zaibatsu controlled pillar industries such as Japan's banks, heavy industry, transportation, and trade. In return, the zaibatsu were loyal to the emperor and adjusted industrial and commercial plans based on the emperor's long-term national policies, becoming a veritable "politics and businessmen." By the end of the Meiji era, the accumulated wealth of the imperial family increased from a mere tens of thousands of dollars when the Meiji came to power to 40 million U.S. dollars.
In this layout, the Mitsui Zaibatsu performed best. The New York Times described Mitsui in 1922: There has never been such an organization in Western civilization. The Rothschild family, which is only engaged in finance, is very ordinary compared with the Mitsui Zaibatsu. Mitsui was a wealthy chaebol that controlled mines, banks, railroads, shipping, factories, and trading companies. "As rich as Mitsui" means endless wealth to the Japanese, just like Americans dream of "being as rich as Rockefeller"?Exhausted mentally and physically, he lost all his majesty. Impulsively, he even threatened to abdicate, showing the fragile side of his character.
In the end, whether he was in a mood or threatening to abdicate, Emperor Taisho had to make a series of arrangements and concessions in terms of national policies and personnel arrangements: canceling most of the plans to expand the army; temporarily giving up the plan to conquer Nanyang by force; A world war broke out, and Japan synchronized with Britain, France and the United States, which controlled the Pacific; the emperor's oldest adviser was replaced by an official with civilian origin; Crown Prince Hirohito left the special school for royal children and received an education in a Spartan school .
In this battle, the bourgeois liberation movement defeated the conservative forces, which was known as the "Taisho Coup" in history. Its impact on China is that the plutocrats who hold power believe that Japan is not ready for a full-scale war with China at this stage, and they are unwilling to transfer the hard-won power to the military - in the event of a full-scale war, the military will Fang’s power will inevitably increase greatly.
This is China’s opportunity. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 408 Behind the scenes
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
As early as the beginning of the year, Duan Qirui had already sensed Zhili's disobedience. He tried his best to prevent Zhili from going north, but in the end he failed. At the beginning of the new year, it was planned to replace the Henan governor Zhao Ti with Wu Guangxin, a figure from the Anhui clique, in order to block Wu Peifu's return north (at that time, the main force of Wu Peifu's army was fighting against the Guangzhou military government in Hunan). The latter tended to favor the Feng clique, but had always opposed the Anhui clique's connivance with Japan. However, President Xu Shichang refused to publish it for fear of causing a huge change. In order to gain direct support, Jin Yunpeng also expressed his opposition. Therefore, he did not forgive Duan Qirui and almost resigned.
On March 7, Wu Peifu, commander of the 3rd Division of the Zhili Army stationed in southern Hunan, ignored the Beijing government's request to withdraw his troops and move north, despite the Beijing government's refusal. On March 18, the commanders of the mixed brigade under Wu Peifu, Wang Chengbin, Xiao Yaonan, and Yan Xiangwen, began to withdraw their defenses and move northward. The Guangzhou military government paid an additional 300,000 yuan as departure fees. In response, Qu Tongfeng, Chen Wenyun, Wei Zonghan, Li Jincai, Liu Xun and other division commanders of the Anhui clique garrisoned near Beijing called on them, claiming that there were insufficient barracks and refusing to move the Zhili troops.
At this time, Cao Kun was just testing the waters. Seeing the Anhui clique fighting back tit-for-tat, he did not dare to press too hard. However, both sides knew that a larger-scale war was about to begin, which was irreconcilable.
The "May 4th Movement" brought disrepute to the "Anfu Congress" controlled by Duan Qirui's government and the Anhui clique, and its prestige among the people was gradually lost. Seeing the achievements of Zhang Hanqing's "Anxi Army" in the northwest, Cao Kun and Wu Peifu became jealous. Seeing that the current situation was like this, the two thought they had an opportunity to take advantage of it, so they sent people out to actively lobby Zhang Zuolin in order to achieve the goal of the Zhili and Feng cliques attacking the Anhui clique from the north and the south.
At this time, Fengjun had completed the reorganization of 10 divisions, and it was a time when the troops were well equipped with sufficient food and talent. The stability of Xing'an, Rehe, Chahar, and Mongolia and the achievements of the "Northwest Army" have brought the prestige of the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government to a new peak, and also made the top officials of the Fengtian clique once again turn their attention to the interior of the pass.
But Zhang Zuolin weighed the pros and cons of the olive branch offered by the Zhili clique, and could not make a decision: on one hand, he was tempted to gain benefits by entering the customs, and on the other hand, he wanted to offend the Japanese who were the supporters behind the Anhui clique. Although he is a very patriotic warlord at heart, at this time and place, with his power and status, he cannot help but be concerned about the influence of the Japanese. Wu Junsheng, an important ally in his life, is also unwilling to go out of seclusion. Wu insists on "secluded in seclusion and waiting for the future. Liaodong is small enough to be the king." At present, his priority is to wait and see the situation and keep a low profile.
Zhang Hanqing and Sun Liechen were supporters of leaving the customs. Sun Liechen believed that the main force of the Anhui clique was dispersed in various places and was easy to defeat. There was little resistance for Fengjun to leave the border, and with the power of stabilizing Mongolia and his influence among the Chinese people, it is not known that he might take advantage of the rebellion between Zhili and Anhui to seize control. Zhang Hanqing, on the other hand, knew that the Zhili-Anhui War was a quick victory in history, so of course he advocated sending troops to prevent the Zhili clique from gaining power in the Beiyang government. He believed that due to the fear of Britain and the United States, the lack of domestic economic strength, the influence of the political climate, and the burden of the Far East Intervention Force, the Japanese were not yet capable of large-scale intervention and would only express symbolic opposition. Nothing to fear.
Zhang Zuolin had become accustomed to Zhang Hanqing's advice. He readily agreed and in April, with Wang Naibin as his plenipotentiary representative, he discussed the conditions for forming an anti-Duan alliance with the Zhili clan. The conditions given by Zhang Hanqing are:
The Beijing government will be formed together, and the chief ministers of finance, agriculture, commerce, and transportation of the new government will be appointed by the Fengxi faction;
The Feng clique obtained Zhangyuan, the capital of Chahar Province (i.e. Zhangjiakou, which was currently held by the Anhui clique's troops);
Tangshan and Qinhuangdao in Zhili Province surrounded by Rehe were merged into the Rehe Special Area controlled by the Feng clique to form Rehe Province;
The Suiyuan special area of ??the Zhili clique’s customary forces belongs to the Fengcian clique;
The Zhili and Fengxi factions joined forces to attack Shaanxi in the northwest. The two sides were bounded by the Wei River. The Northwest People's Army occupied the north and the Zhili Army occupied the south.
Tianjin is the demarcation point between the two sides’ forces. Both sides can station troops in Tianjin, but they are not allowed to interfere in Tianjin’s civil affairs;
After the war, the Fengcian Clan agreed and supported the Zhili Clan to own the Anhui, Shandong, and Zhejiang provinces.
This is an agreement that is generally acceptable to both parties: Shaanxi is separated from Gansu controlled by the Feng clique and Hubei controlled by the direct line. It is actually a fair move to divide Shaanxi equally; if northern Shaanxi is owned by the Feng clique, Suiyuan will be divided between Gansu and Mongolia under the Feng clique. , Chahar is surrounded and there is no possibility of perfecting it (nearby Shanxi is the unbreakable sphere of influence of another warlord Yan Xishan); Tianjin is a place where foreign forces gather. Although it has the benefits of customs, it is often blamed, and the direct line is not too big. Interest; Zhili and Zhili, which are close to Shanhaiguan, are where the Feng army must pass to connect Tianjin and Rehe. The Feng army is bound to win and no negotiation is allowed. The Zhili Clan consolidated its territory in the Yangtze River Basin and the north, while the Fengcian Clan acquired large tracts of land connecting the northwest and northeast with convenient access. It can be said that everyone is happy.
On May 17, Duan Qirui held a combat meeting in Tuanhe and ordered the border defense troops to concentrate in the Beijing area. Duan planned to station himself in Zhengzhou to attack the Wu army. In order to boost morale, on April 4 of the following month?, Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng announced that they would mobilize to attack the Southern Army.
As soon as Duan Qirui left, on June 10, Fengjun outside the customs was ordered to drive from Duliu Town, Zhili, to Langfang via Tianjin.
While Anhui was sharpening its knives, the Anhui clique's thorns in Hunan were uprooted. On June 13, Zhang Jingyao, the governor of Hunan in the Anhui clique, was expelled from Hunan by all parties. Beijing had no choice but to "remove his position as Hunan governor and provincial governor." , temporarily stay in office."
On June 15, Wu Peifu and the Zhili Army brigade commanders Wang Chengbin, Xiao Yaonan, and Yan Xiangwen traveled from Zhengzhou to Baoding to meet with Cao Kun, the governor of the Zhili Army.
On July 4, Xu Shichang dismissed Xu Shuzheng from the post of northwest border commander, appointed Li Yuan as his caretaker, abolished the commander-in-chief of border defense, and the army under his jurisdiction was taken over by the Ministry of War.
On July 5, Anhui governor Ni Si rushed to Beijing, and Duan Qirui ordered the border guards to mobilize.
On July 6, the border guards were dispatched to Changxindian and Langfang, and there were signs of war.
Zhang Zuolin was already prepared to beat up the drowned dog, but in order to paralyze Duan Qirui, he personally went to Tuanhe to persuade Duan Qirui not to use troops. However, after Duan Qirui received Zhang Zuolin's "guarantee" that Fengjun would remain neutral, he believed that victory was within his grasp, insisted on starting a war, and demanded that Wu Peifu be punished. Under this situation, Feng Yuxiang, commander of the 16th Mixed Brigade of the Direct Line, led his troops to retreat from Taoyuan, Changde, and moved to Chenjiaji, Hankou
The battle between Zhili and Anhui is inevitable, but the Zhili clique only has three mixed brigades of the third division led by Wu Peifu and two divisions of Cao Kun. Facing the Anhui clique's army backed by the Japanese garrison in North China, they have to be cautious. At Wu Peifu's suggestion, Cao Kun called the Beijing mission on July 10, asking them to pay attention to the fact that Japan was secretly aiding Duan. The United States, Britain, and France oppressed the Japanese minister to express his attitude. On the 14th, the Japanese minister was forced to issue a declaration stating that he would never help Duan.
In order to cheer up the Zhili clique, Zhang Zuolin sent a telegram to Cao Kun on July 11, saying that he had dispatched the 28th Division to enter the Pass first, and the Fengjun in the Pass sent Zhang Jinghui as the commander. He estimated that there were 70,000 to 80,000 troops in the allied forces within the Pass, which could handle the war on both the east and west fronts. He also assured Cao Kun: "We are close friends of ours. At this critical moment of life and death, we have to do our best to help."
With the assurance that the Japanese would not help Anhui and the support from the Feng clan, Cao Kun decided to fight Duan Qirui, and the Zhi-Anhui War began. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 409 Three Kingdoms Killing

At that time, the Anhui army was still very strong and concentrated in the Zhili area. In terms of troop mobilization, it had a huge advantage over the scattered Zhili army.
When the forward troops of the Zhili Army arrived in Zhuozhou, Duan Qirui appointed himself the commander-in-chief of the "Dingguo Army", Xu Shuzheng was the deputy commander-in-chief and chief of staff, and Duan Zhigui was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. The troops were divided into two groups: the west route of the Anhui Army, with Duan Zhigui as the commander, governed the Liu Xun of the 15th Division, Qu Tongfeng of the 1st Border Defense Division, and Chen Wenyun of the 3rd Division captured Gaobeidian from Zhuozhou, with a strength of about 40,000; the East Route Army of the Anhui Army, with Xu Shuzheng as its commander, had a strength of 2. division, the 9th and 13th Army Divisions, and three mixed brigades, about 60,000 people.
The Zhili Army was also divided into two groups for confrontation: Wu Peifu, the commander-in-chief of the west route, Wang Chengbin, the commander-in-chief of the rear route, Cao Ai, the commander-in-chief of the east route, with the strength of the 3rd Division and Cao Jiao, Wang Chengbin, Xiao Yaonan, Peng Shouxin and other mixed brigades, about four More than 10,000 people.
In comparison, with 40,000 troops against 100,000 troops, the Zhili army was at a numerical disadvantage. However, the Zhili army was a veteran of many battles. They had fought their way through the bloody battles on the front lines with the Confederate army, and their actual combat capabilities were far stronger than those of the Anhui clique. In particular, Wu Peifu's Third Division has always been the main candidate for the southern expedition. Its military morale, morale and combat effectiveness are the best in Beiyang. Cao Kun relied on his new force to stand on the wall between the Zhizhi and Anhui cliques.
??The Anhui clique is temporarily deployed from the garrison troops of each province. It has many inconveniences when fighting across provinces. When fighting with the south, they all stay behind and want to take advantage of the situation. As soon as the war strings tightened, I felt timid in my heart. Not to mention the newly built 3rd Division and 4th Brigade of the Border Guard. They are simply terrifying in numbers. None of the new recruits have seen blood. It is conceivable that they have such combat effectiveness.
And the most terrible thing is that the generals have no fighting spirit, including Duan Qirui as the commander-in-chief.
The Beiyang warlords seem to be numerous groups, but most of them trace back no more than two generations and most of them share the same clan. Some of them are classmates, fellow villagers and even neighbors. Many of their differences are not irreconcilable. There is one among them and one among them. For example, in the Zhili-Anhui War, the first division of the Anhui Clan that participated in the war was the guard that Feng Guozhang originally brought to Gyeonggi Province, so it declared neutrality before arriving at the front line, and many officers and soldiers in the "Border Defense Force" were "married or related" to the Zhili Army officers and soldiers. "He said he would not fight" and "that if he wanted the army to fight, he would have to change the officers to another class."
When Qu Tongfeng, the first general of Duan's army, took the oath, he didn't know why he was fighting. He was at a loss for words. He only said to the soldiers: "This war cannot be described in name. But if we don't fight it, Come and fight." He then said to the officers: "This war is between those who have received military education in military schools and those who have not." This was to encourage the officers and soldiers of the Anhui Army.
Duan Qirui also acted benevolently and righteously in the war. Comparing the combat capabilities of the two armies, the Anhui army has an aviation force and a heavy artillery unit, while the Zhizhi army does not, and it does not have anti-aircraft artillery to shoot aircraft. The Anhui army has an obvious advantage. However, Duan Qirui could not bear to strictly order the aviation team to drop bombs, and ordered the heavy artillery team "not to use heavy artillery unless it is absolutely necessary."
How can we fight this battle?
Therefore, when Shang Qiheng later analyzed the reasons for the defeat of the Anhui army, he said: "Although the defeat of the Anhui army was related to heavy rains and internal changes in the Anhui army, the important reason for the defeat was 'the emphasis on benevolence and righteousness during the march.'"
Zhang Zuolin saw that the main force of the Anhui clique's army had been transferred to the south of Beijing and that the rear was empty, so he prepared to take the opportunity to start an uprising. In the name of uncovering the subversive activities of the Anhui clique in the three eastern provinces, he announced Xu Shuzheng's eight major crimes and sent a telegram to clear the emperor.
In order to avoid fighting on two fronts, Duan Qirui asked Xu Shichang to use a presidential decree to require all armies to return to their original defenses. In this way, Fengjun would not be allowed to enter the pass. Zhang Zuolin kept doing nothing and contacted the Shunzhi Provincial Council, Tianjin General Chamber of Commerce, and the Zhili Chamber of Commerce Federation to announce Duan Qirui's three major crimes:
"Regards Donghai (president Xu Shichang) as a puppet, treats fellow officials like slaves, bosses around, and is popular. Although Jin Yunpeng is his protégé, since he is the prime minister, the system should be above supervision. Duan Qirui is related to the academy. The letters are all handwritten with the words "delivered to the Academy" or "Ministry of Affairs". If the subordinates are ordered to convey it to the Academy, they will directly write "Official Supervisor's Order" and "To be delivered to the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister for processing", etc., as if he is the head of state. Now he has changed the seal of the head of state without authorization. The order forced the head of state to issue the seal and ribbon freely. Where is the discipline? This is one of the biggest crimes. He trusted Cao Lu and borrowed 50 million yuan in daily payment to hand over the rights to the forest and mineral resources of the three eastern provinces and the Manchuria-Mongolia Rehe Railway. They also signed contracts with Japan for the Jiaoji, Gaoxu, Shunji railways, etc., so that Shandong would become the continuation of the three eastern provinces. They even entered into a military agreement, and the Japanese army invaded Northern Manchuria under the pretense of participating in war training, and the Japanese officers Take our military power. As for those who agree to sign a German treaty and advocate direct negotiation, they are all for the purpose of flattering foreigners and destroying their country. This is the second major crime. When Duan was in Yuan Xiangcheng, he often used Xiangcheng's appointment power and used money to buy junior officers. , instigating rebellion against Shangguan. Unexpectedly, since he came to power, he has intensified his efforts He used money extensively to unite the armies of various provinces to consolidate himself, so that the number of troops increased and the financial resources were exhausted.?This is the third major sin. "
At the end of the telegram, it accused Duan Qirui of not being as honest as most people said. It pointed out: "The house in the Tianjin Free Concession was purchased by Xu Shuzheng in the first year of the Republic of China with money from Hanyang and 130,000 yuan divided into profit segments; Zeng Yunpei He used the Anfu Party membership fees to build Duan a four-season house in spring, summer, autumn and winter; he also pocketed the balance of two million yuan from restoration debt repayments; Duan had one million yuan worth of shares in the Sino-Japanese Exchange Bank."
If you want to impose a crime, why bother? Not to mention the nail on the evidence board? Zhang Zuolin's long-prepared battle plan was quickly communicated to all ministries: Ji Jinchun's 28th Division left Shanhaiguan along the Beijing-Fengxian Line to attack Tangshan and Tianjin; Zhang Jinghui led the 16th Division out of Chifeng, attacked Duolun, Guyuan, and Chicheng, and pushed into Zhangjiakou . Sun Liechen was the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun outside the Pass, coordinating the war effort.
Before Zhang Zuolin announced that he would send troops into the Pass on July 13, Duan was very confident in the battle to "query for Zhizhi". He once boasted that Baoding would be captured in just five days after the war began. His confidence was based on his belief that the war would begin. The army will not help the Zhijun. Because he believed that although Zhang Zuolin was at odds with Xu Shuzheng, he also had great conflicts with Cao Kun and Li Chun of the direct line. Therefore, Duan estimated that Zhang Zuolin must be sitting outside the pass and watching the success or failure, and would not easily place bets on the Zhili-Anhui conflict, that is, Said Zhang Zuolin would remain neutral.
Duan believed that as long as Zhang Zuolin remained neutral, he would be sure to defeat the Zhi Army. How did we know that on the 13th, we received a military report that Fengjun's 16th and 28th divisions had entered the pass, and then learned that Fengjun had deployed defenses on Jingfeng Road, Jinpu Road, Machang, and Junliangcheng. It really panicked him.
No matter how bad Zhang Zuolin is with Xu Shuzheng, he should not stab the Anhui clique's already shaky military morale at this time. This was an obvious sign that the Feng clan would take action, and Duan Qirui no longer hesitated at this point. He dispatched part of the 13th Division and the 15th Division of the Eastern Route Army to attack Fengjun separately.
Taking advantage of the Anhui faction's surprise, they shot in the back. The situation was originally good for the Feng army, but Zhang Jinghui's frontline commander, 32nd Brigade Commander Zou Duofen, underestimated the enemy and rushed in. The main force was still in Duolun. He had already advanced to Zhangjiakou, but unexpectedly Plunge into the pocket of the Anhui army.
I thought that the Anhui army would not be able to sustain for long under the attack from the front and rear of Zhili and Fengcheng. He could take the opportunity to seize a piece of territory. Don’t you see that the young marshal is making great progress and is already king in the northwest? Zhang Jinghui is an old man in the Fengjun army. He still holds the position of division commander. Doesn't he have no military exploits? Therefore, Zou Duofen gave him strong support.
Surrounding him was Xu Shuzheng, who was full of energy.
When Feng Jun was stabbed in the back, the soldier with a strong temper moved his sparks. In addition to a small number of troops to contain the Zhili Army, the main forces of the 2nd Division of the Border Guards and the 13th Army Division were fully pressed. They were also assisted by about 20,000 people from the remaining Yi Army stationed in Rehe (now retreated to Zhangjiakou) to attack Fengjun. A nice counterattack. Zhang Jinghui only had one division, and when he was exhausted from the expedition, he would be defeated in a single battle by surprise. Then concentrate the winning forces and turn around to fight the Zhi army. This is also a good strategy to avoid falling into a bitter battle between two ends.
???????????? Zou Duofen, who dressed lightly and wanted to make a big deal, was forced to do so
The frontal defense line was blown down, and the three iron fists that passed through cut off the connection between his command post and the two regiments. And the most annoying thing was that an artillery shell hit his waist. He, the brigade commander, Seriously injured. What's even more terrible is that without the large troops, the Zhili army directly broke into the brigade headquarters and actually captured him alive.
This was the first major defeat for Fengjun since its establishment, and it was on a key battlefield.
Zhang Zuolin was furious after hearing the news. According to the plan of him, Zhang Hanqing and other senior officials, this battle should be easy to win. Taking advantage of the fierce struggle between Zhijiang and Anhui to capture Zhangjiakou, an important town in Gyeonggi Province, and complete the de facto occupation of Rehe and Chahar outside the Great Wall, it can be regarded as a great contribution to this counterattack. After the war, we still have to rely on this battle to bargain with the Zhili Clan (Ji Jinchun's troops cannot fight on the Beijing-Fengtian line because so many foreign forces are there, and that army is just to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy Tianjin). Now that we have suffered a huge defeat, it doesn’t matter if we lose face. How can we share the north with the Zhili in the future? I originally wanted to pick the fruit, but now it seems I have to pull out the thorns!
Zhang Hanqing was even more anxious. Zhangjiakou is his important barrier in the northwest and must be won: his northwest army is located in a poor land, and important supplies currently travel between Inner and Inner Mongolia via horseback. If Zhangjiakou is lost, it will be equivalent to cutting the northwest and northeast into two geographically!
Not only that, he also planned to take advantage of this opportunity to connect Re, Cha, and Sui, and build a railway from Zhangjiakou to Jining to Guisui to Baotou to Lanzhou, opening up the Northeast, What about the Northwest Passage? Although it has been difficult to build these railways in history, it is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, so someone always has to do it, right? Moreover, it is much closer to enter the Northeast from Zhangkou than through Mongolia. Besides, Zhangjiakou——Chengde——Fuxin——Shenyang is also his plan to completely avoid Japan, Britain and other powers to connect North China to Northeast China.
Zhang Hanqing, who was well aware of Zhang Jinghui's disadvantages, decided to go into battle personally. He personally led the reinforced camp composed of the Northeastern Military Academy student teaching team to rush to the front line at night, but before he could take over, the battle miraculously ended!

Chapter 410 Crisis Moment
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Jinghui, who was feeling a lot of pressure, quickly ordered the deputy commander of the brigade to take over and made a desperate effort to attack the Zhili Army positions. The reason why he is so desperate is because many generals of the Feng Dynasty have been promoted, and he has fallen behind. If this battle fails to save face or if the young commander really takes over, his position in the Feng family will be in jeopardy.
The 16th Division is also an earlier unit established by Fengjun. Many officers graduated from the first and second batch of Fengtian Lecture Hall crash courses with Zhang Hanqing, so they are still energetic when fighting. If Zou Fen had not underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, the brigade headquarters would not have been easily captured even if it was one versus two. The brigade commander was captured. After being reprimanded, the whole brigade also held back their energy and became particularly desperate in fighting. Three times as many Zhizhi troops in front were frightened.
At this time, Wang Ruihua, who served as the acting company commander of the second lieutenant of the Zhili Army, decided to strike back.
He is an officer developed by the "Fengqi Bureau" in the Anhui Army. He graduated from the Baoding Army Officer School two years ago and was later incorporated into the Border Guard Army. He served successively as squad leader and platoon leader. Finally, with hard work and military talent, he became the leader just now Promoted to company commander's assistant, with the rank of second lieutenant.
Because he is from Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, his life in the Anhui Clan, which has a strong sense of place, is unsatisfactory. Because with his qualifications and abilities, if he were in the Feng army, he would at least be the deputy regimental commander. Thinking about history, it was he who introduced his classmate Wang Yizhe to join the Fengjun Army. Now, in a different time and space, Wang Yizhe has become at least a general (his news is delayed, Wang Yizhe has already been promoted to lieutenant general).
What also made him dissatisfied was Duan Qirui's betrayal of Northeastern interests and the treaty signed with the Japanese, which made him feel that continuing to stay in the Anhui Army was against his ambitions. During the "May 4th Movement", many people defected to Feng Faction, who was upright and shouting for the country. He also asked someone to deliver a message to Zhang Hanqing, the young marshal who was "not ashamed to ask questions of his subordinates and used talents in an eclectic way", but was instructed to hide and wait for opportunities. Make meritorious service.
Zhang Hanqing, who is familiar with the history of the Republic of China, knows Wang Ruihua's origins very clearly: his father is the leader of the Jinzhou Boxer Rebellion, and his granddaughter is Mrs. Liu Shaoqi's fourth sister-in-law. As a fashionable saying goes, he is "rooted and Miaohong", and the whole family is Make a revolution. Among the people Zhang Xueliang trusted completely in history, apart from Zhang Zuoxiang, he was definitely the first one, and his status was no worse than Wang Yizhe. At his peak, he was Zhang Xueliang's deputy.
It’s the right time to recruit people in the Fengxian department, but there are not many opportunities for rapid promotion like Wang Yizhe’s. Although Wang Ruihua's ability is not obvious now, he is still among the virtuous and talented. If he wants to be promoted quickly, he must have military merit. Zhang Hanqing, who had long expected the Zhi-Wan war, reserved a chess piece at that time.
At the fiercest moment of the battle, Wang Ruihua suddenly rushed into the command post of the 2nd Division of the Border Guard Army with a company of soldiers who had been successfully brainwashed by him. The rebels were most afraid of rebellion. The guard troops at the command post were stunned by the sudden firefight. Although the division commander fled under the protection of the guards, the entire division's command system was disrupted. In addition, rumors spread widely, and the morale of the frontline officers and soldiers was shaken, and they were defeated by two regiments of the Feng Army.
Liu Xun, the commander of the 9th Division who had long lost his will to fight, saw the unknown defeat of his friendly troops. Instead of going to rescue, he ordered the entire division to withdraw from the battle and allowed the border guards to be completely defeated in order to preserve their strength. However, he still reaped the consequences. The victorious Fengjun did not stop. Instead, he took the opportunity to expand the results of the victory and dealt with him by the way. Naturally, Jiang's lack of fighting spirit was not a strategy, so he withdrew fifty miles away and left Zhangjiakou to Fengjun.
This battle made Zhang Jinghui successful, and was also an important reason why he later became the commander-in-chief of Suiyuan. As for Wang Ruihua, due to his great contribution after the war, he was promoted two levels in a row. He was promoted to the Northeast Lecture Hall as a major and then a lieutenant colonel, and succeeded Ji Yiqiao as the captain of the student training team.
The battlefield is in full swing, and the writing is not idle. Wu Peifu denounced Duan Qirui, denouncing him as "a traitor to foreigners who is actually a traitor. He said that today's war is to save the country and fight for the nation." Zhang Zuolin called Duan Qirui and denounced him for "expertly using state weapons and using border guards to pursue his own interests." . If the border guards are not returned to their original garrison, then "all the people in the army should take it as their own duty to eradicate the beetles and rebuild the republic"!
Speaking of which, Duan Qirui formed the border defense army with the intention of treating it as his own private army. However, times have changed, and his current position is not Prime Minister, but "Border Defense Supervisor", so using this army is a bit domineering. But with the knife on the neck, no one can stand still, right?
Originally, since July 11, there have been small-scale conflicts on the front lines between the armies of Zhizhi and Anhui. The sound of cannons has been heard from time to time in the city of Beijing. Legend has it that the border guards and Liu Xun's 15th Division expressed their unwillingness to fight, and retreated every time they came into contact with the Zhili Army. When Fengjun entered the pass, the Anfu faction was really panicked, so Cao Rulin and Fu Liangzuo went to visit Xu Shichang and request an armistice order.
The Duan faction was in a hurry. On the one hand, it forced Xu Shichang to issue a ceasefire order. On the other hand, it felt that the current situation required a quick war, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain military morale. Therefore, it convened a special military meeting on the afternoon of July 14 and decided toImmediately, a general attack order was issued. At the same time, in order to boost morale, a special message was sent to the whole country to attack the Zhijun Army.
On July 14, the armies of Zhizhi and Anhui started fighting in the areas of Zhuozhou, Gaobeidian and Liulihe on the Beijing-Tianjin Railway and the Beijing-Hankou Railway on the east and west sides of Beijing. The direct army on the Western Front was frustrated by the attack of the border guards and withdrew from Gaobeidian. The eastern border defense force, led by Xu Shuzheng, attacked Yangcun, where the Zhili Army was based, and the outcome was still undecided.
Three days after the armies of Zhizhi and Anhui opened fire, the Guangzhou military government also issued a telegram to denounce Duan Qirui.
In Hubei, Wang Zhanyuan of the Zhili clique suddenly took decisive action when Zhili and Anhui were on the verge of war, and placed Wu Guangxin, the Hunan governor who was residing in Hubei, under house arrest. It turns out that after the Beijing government announced that Duan Qirui's close relative Wu Guangxin was the governor of Hunan, the Northern Army had completely withdrawn from Hunan. He and the former Hunan governor Zhang Jingyao conspired to seize Hubei, assist the Zhili Army, and secretly ordered Wu Guangxin's old troops to garrison Xinyang, Henan. Zhao Yunlong captured Henan. However, Wang Zhanyuan, the Governor of Hubei, was not a fool. Before Wu Zhang could take action, he took advantage of the situation and invited Wu Guangxin to attend a banquet in the name of a banquet. After the banquet, Wu Guangxin was placed under house arrest. Wu's tribe mutinied and was also captured by the Zhijun Army. Disband. Zhang Jingyao was very smart this time and escaped first when he heard the news.
Amid the turmoil, Fengjun Tang Yulin's troops were ordered to cross the Chaohe River and penetrate Miyun and Huairou, threatening the back of the Anhui army. The fight on the front line was not going smoothly, and Feng Jun from behind gave him another kick in the crotch, and his skin would be peeled off even if he died. As the mastermind behind the Anhui clique, the Japanese will not sit back and watch the destruction of their agents.
When the three parties were making a fuss and people were upset, as Zhang Hanqing expected, the Japanese took action. On July 16, the Japanese North China Garrison sent out a road protection team to help the Anhui Army occupy Yangcun; on the same day, the Kwantung Army dispatched a regiment to approach Yingkou, intending to stabilize the front and give the Zhili Army a chance to breathe. The Japanese Consul General in Fengtian, Soyoshi Yoshida, personally visited Zhang Zuolin and prepared to put pressure on Fengjun. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 411 Please retreat immediately

The sun is shining brightly, but the microwave is not booming.
In the Marshal's Mansion, Fengjun Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wu Junsheng and Sun Liechen, Chief of General Staff Zhang Zuoxiang, Deputy Chief of General Staff Zhang Hanqing, Executive Vice Chairman of the Northeast United Provincial Autonomous Government and Governor of Fengtian Wang Yongjiang, Director of the Finance and Economics Committee and Director of the Northeast Customs Autonomous Commission Pan Fu, Secretary-General of the Autonomous Government Yuan Jinkai and other important military and political officials were by his side.
Accompanying Yoshida Sou were the senior operational staff officer of the Eastern Army, Colonel Kawamoto Daisaku, and the head of the Kanto State Secret Service, Doihara Kenji.
Others don’t know why these two people are so popular. Zhang Hanqing is very familiar with the famous Japanese spy leader Doihara Kenji. This is the pioneer of the invasion of China who is hated by the people of North China! The other Kawamoto is also very simple to say: he was the mastermind of the "Huanggutun Incident" in the parallel world. Soyoshi Yoshida became the Prime Minister of Japan after World War II.
Yoshida came straight to the point: "On behalf of the Japanese government, I request the Fengjun army to immediately stop its front-line combat operations at Shanhaiguan. The Empire of Japan has undisputed interests in North China, and Japan will not tolerate any actions that may affect the current situation in North China." .”
Zhang Zuolin laughed and said: "Zhang has not hindered the existing interests of the Japanese government in North China at all. Mr. Yoshida is making too much fuss. Whether Fengjun can enter the customs is Zhang's own business. Zhang Zuolin is now I am the chairman of the Northeast United Provincial Autonomous Government. I am protesting against the unpopular moves of the Central Anhui Clique. The Japanese government is too lenient!"
Daisaku Kawamoto on the side had an angry face. He straightened his stiff body and said word by word: "Any action that goes against the interests of the Empire of Japan will be regarded as a violation of the Empire of Japan. General Zhang, if you don't want to fight with the Kwantung Army If there is a military confrontation, please retreat immediately."
Zhang Hanqing sneered in his heart, "Damn it, you bully me, don't you know? The Kwantung Army only has 2 divisions and 40,000 people at this time, and they have to disperse to guard the South Manchuria Railway line. The troops that can really fight are only about 20,000. Even if it is The Japanese and Korean troops in Korea had two divisions, with a total of only 80,000 people. Even in 1931, the Kwantung Army only had the strength of three divisions.
At present, Fengjun's army inside and outside the Pass (excluding the Northwest Army and the Mongolian Garrison) has reorganized 9 divisions with more than 100,000 people. In addition, several supply corps and artillery regiments at the headquarters are under preparation. As long as they are willing to spend money for live-fire training, they will It won't take long for combat effectiveness to be formed. In a real fight, they would have an overwhelming advantage over Japan's troops stationed in Kanto and Korea. In addition, Fengjun fought at home, with convenient logistics and convenient personnel supply. Intimidation tactics didn't work for him at all.
Historically, in 1884, Japan established six regular army divisions for the first time on the basis of the old army, namely the 1st to 6th divisions. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1894, Japan established six more regular army divisions, namely the 7th to 12th Divisions. In 1907, after the Russo-Japanese War, Japan once again expanded six regular army divisions, namely the 13th to 18th Divisions. In 1915, Japan established two army divisions in the occupied Korea, namely the 19th and 20th Divisions. In this way, together with the Japanese Guards Division guarding the Imperial Palace area in Tokyo and four independent mixed brigades stationed in various places, they formed the basic framework of the main force of the Japanese imperialist army in peacetime.
In its continuous foreign aggression and expansion, Japan began to station troops on the territories of other countries and areas controlled by them. For example, the Japanese Taiwan Army was established in Taiwan after 1895; the North China Garrison Army was stationed in the Beijing-Tianjin region of China after 1901; the Japanese Korean Army was established in North Korea in 1915; and the Japanese Kwantung Army was established in Northeast China in 1919.
These troops were known as the "four major corps" of the Japanese army stationed outside its homeland at the time. Some of them are fixedly held by regular main divisions of the Japanese army, such as the Japanese Korean Army, which has long been composed of the 19th Division and the 20th Division; some are held by regular main divisions in rotation, such as the Japanese Kwantung Army; some are mixed Brigades or other organized units, such as the Japanese Taiwan Army and the Japanese North China Garrison Army.
And Zhang Zuolin was originally dissatisfied with the Japanese domineering in the Northeast. When he was outnumbered and weak, he dared to fight the Japanese. Now, with the financial support of Zhang Hanqing's New Deal, he has well-equipped troops with high morale. Zhang Zuolin cannot tolerate the Japanese interfering in China's internal affairs, especially It is the internal affairs of the Northeast.
What does it mean to go against the interests of the Japanese Empire? So if the Japanese randomly exercise administrative power and garrison power on Zhang Zhang's territory, does that count as violating Lao Zhang's interests? It’s useless to say more, everything depends on strength.
For example, not long ago, the Japanese wanted to take over German interests in Shandong after World War I. They forced the Beiyang government to withdraw from the peace talks and did not allow the public to object. Is this really unreasonable? If it weren't for Zhang Hanqing and other staff members, they might have triggered civil unrest in Japan and caused major changes, so they directly sent troops to start the operation at Yingkou.
Not long ago, on June 23, Japan requested that China Eastern Railway?Enjoy three new rights: add Japanese road protection troops along the road; attach Japanese police along the road; if there are bandit police, the Japanese army will suppress them.
This was a naked act of reaching out to the three eastern provinces. Zhang Zuolin was furious at that time. The Japanese managed to gain a little power from the Russians without any effort. Think about it, just the South Manchuria Railway, when the Japanese attacked Russia, they paid more than 200,000 casualties to get it!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If the Japanese don’t cut off the clutches of the Japanese immediately and decisively, the Japanese will definitely make endless changes to Japan.
Zhang Hanqing stared at Daisaku Kawamoto and said: "We have hundreds of thousands of soldiers fighting for national independence and territorial integrity, so why not die! Mr. Daisaku Kawamoto keeps saying that he wants to meet Fengjun in battle. This is on behalf of your government. Or represent the Kwantung Army?"
He is well aware that Japanese militarism is powerful, and nine. The January 18th Incident was an adventurous test carried out by several middle and lower-level officers of the Kwantung Army behind the backs of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters and the government. It only succeeded because of the inadvertent "non-resistance" of their predecessor Zhang Xueliang. Since then, the Japanese Army Headquarters has taken control of the Emperor's government and has been out of control. As a result, the war has gradually escalated and eventually became uncontrollable.
At this time, the ambitions of the Japanese government should not be as explicit as those of some hard-line elements within the Kwantung Army, and the government's control of the Kwantung Army should be effective. If you want to calm down the situation, you must use force to fight back the opponent's tentative actions. As the saying goes, only by risking your life can you save your life.
Sure enough, Yoshida Sou saw that the words were unreasonable and immediately took over and said: "The Kwantung Army is under the direct command of His Majesty the Emperor. Colonel Kawamoto's words represent part of the opinions of the Kwantung Army. The Japanese government also does not want to break the relationship with General Zhang. We We only hope that the situation can be resolved peacefully without damaging our country’s existing interests in China.”
Zhang Hanqing was already thinking about how to use this opportunity to go directly to Beijing to stabilize and control the regime. In his memory, the defeat of the Anhui clique was certain, and how to prevent the Zhili and Feng cliques from splitting up and killing each other after jointly gaining power was a subsequent problem. The Chinese nation has already suffered many disasters, why should we add another pinch of salt to this wound?
Can I take advantage of the current situation and avoid this fate? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 413 Dividing the spoils
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
At this time, it is extremely necessary for the two factions to have the greatest commander-in-chief to stabilize the situation. Therefore, at Xu Shichang's request, Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin led their staff and guards from Tianjin to Beijing in two groups.
President Xu Shichang did not dare to neglect these two big figures. He laid loess on the East Railway Station and placed tight security on it, and welcomed them with royal courtesy: from the station to their temporary buildings, troops were posted to guard the road along the way, and no one could get close to them. , the welcome staff will always issue entry tickets. To prevent accidents, shop residents are required to fly national flags to express their welcome.
It is not difficult to see from this that Xu Shichang was afraid of these two big warlords.
Zhang Zuolin entered Beijing with a victorious attitude. At this time, he completely let go of his guard and showed his heroic nature. In front of a group of foreign reporters, he made arrogant remarks and showed off his current strength of 300,000 troops. The pride is palpable. So much so that one reporter replied in surprise: "You have 100,000 more troops than the entire United States!"
This is not a lie.
The United States quickly reduced its army strength after World War I, shrinking it to 200,000 nationwide. On the other hand, Zhang Hanqing's People's Army has the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Reorganized Divisions, the 4th Cavalry Division, the 26th Cavalry Division, and the Guards Division; the Fengjun Army has the 5th, 9th, 10th, 16th, 23rd, 27th, 28th, and 29th , 30 nine divisions, as well as 12 brigades each from the three eastern provinces and the Hung Yen Security Command, totaling 13 army divisions, 2 cavalry divisions, and 12 infantry brigades, with about 270,000 people. Now, after taking over part of the Anhui army, it has four more security brigades, totaling about 20,000 people. The total number of people in the two dynasties is nearly 300,000, which is the largest among the Zhili, Anhui and Guangdong dynasties.
But can the Fengjun army be compared with the American army?
During World War I, an infantry division of the US Army had 48 75mm howitzers and 24 155mm heavy howitzers. At this time, Fengjun probably had never seen what a 155mm heavy artillery looked like. Even with a 75mm gun, only a few elite divisions had complete artillery regiments with 54 guns; more divisions only had one artillery battalion with new recruits. The master has not yet come to coordinate and configure.
A US military division has 260 heavy machine guns and 768 light machine guns, while a standard Fengjun division has 108. Including 8 cavalry regiments, the total is only 116. Considering that the number of people in a US military division is 27,000, Hikari has four times as many machine guns per 1,000 people as Fengjun.
There are 36 mortars in one division of the US military, and the Fengjun Army only prioritizes equipping them to the battalion level within the People's Army system. It seems that there are quite a few. Each battalion is equipped with a mortar company, and the cavalry regiment is also equipped with one. In total, there are 13 companies and 78 guns, which is more than the US military. Just know that in the US military, the 60mm caliber is only for squad use. For larger combat units, they have at least 83mm and even 120mm Also, currently only the People's Army has prioritized deployment, and Fengjun has not yet equipped it
The most commendable thing is the US military's emphasis on supply capabilities: the same division had 1,124 carriages, 804 cars, 319 motorcycles, and 238 bicycles in 1918 In a word, the US military is a country built on wheels. , and Fengjun is still at the level of carrying it with his hands and shoulders. The only thing better is the horse
In addition, after the salary increase for basic soldiers in the US Army during World War I, the salary of an ordinary soldier was 7 times higher than that of the German army, and the salary of a non-commissioned officer was 10 times higher. What is even more outrageous is that the salary of a US soldier can be as much as that of a platoon or even half a company of Russian soldiers. military, from which we can see the prosperity of the United States.
With such a salary, the cost of one division can arm at least 50 Fengjun standard divisions in China! Of course, there is not such a big gap in combat effectiveness, but the level of training, firepower, and mobility are indeed incomparable.
So it is said that ignorance leads to fearlessness, but sometimes ignorance also gives oneself courage.
The purpose of Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin coming to Beijing is, of course, to complete the important task of fully taking over the Anhui clique's territory and distributing the cake. When a warlord establishes a country, the most important thing is the army and the territory. This is common practice for both leaders. The equipment of Duan Qirui's newly organized three divisions and five brigades participating in the war and the designations of the Army's 9th and 13th divisions have to decide who will get it.
Cao Kun pointed out that in this defeat of Anhui, the Zhili Clan was the main force and suffered the heaviest losses, so it also needed to gain the most. He demanded that both sides surrender based on the existing scope of fighting. This statement cannot be said to be unreasonable. Since the vast majority of the main force of the Anhui Army is on the side of the Zhili Army, 70% of the three divisions and five brigades of the border defense army must surrender to the Zhili Army.
However, Zhang Zuolin believed that it was Fengjun's decisive attack that determined the outcome and allowed the Zhili Clique to reduce losses, so he insisted that the two sides divide the Anhui army equally. However, before the conversation, Fengjun had already made a move to make Duan Qirui's 9th Division, the 2nd Border Guard Division and a mixed brigade surrender to Fengjun in exchange for guaranteeing the property and reputation of his men after the war. Feng Jun peacefully entered the base camp of its border guard army and obtained the only heavy artillery battalion in China (equipped with a 155mm howitzer) - this is the pride of the border guard army training office. In addition, the armored car company was also happily taken into the hands of Fengjun.??Sorely needed.
Therefore, the 9th Division was incorporated into the Fengjun sequence, and Pei Qixun, the former border defense and security commander of the Jilin Governor's Office, was appointed as the division commander. It is natural to accept the adaptation, and there have been substantial changes in the officers of the entire division. The original troops of the Jilin Security Command were disrupted and organized into four security brigades, which were stationed in Tianjin, Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan.
The Zhili Army was not idle either. It also received a designation and was organized into the 13th Zhili Army Division. However, they were not as happy as the Feng faction: in the several days of fighting, they had the most intense firefights and the heaviest casualties, and all the Anhui troops who were taken over were severely beaten. Compared with the Feng army's casualties, which included the capture of one brigade commander, they felt that their gains were not commensurate with the heavy responsibility of defeating the Anhui army.
Zhang Zuolin had no idea that the war would go so smoothly. Frankly speaking, Fengjun did not contribute much, so he lacked the confidence to demand the division of the army. However, this did not become a stage fright for him, but rather became his political bargaining capital.
He decided to “put aside the dispute and accept surrender together” for the time being, and first stabilize the important political situation in the post-Anhui clique era. This was approved by Cao Kun. Just when he was about to enjoy the fruits of victory, he didn't want to fall out with Zhang Zuolin.
So the two turned to discuss the composition of the cabinet. Invariably, they all took the initiative to "retreat to the second line", showing the rare integrity of warlords in this era. However, in arranging the role of the agent, he showed compassion and never gave in when fighting for the country.
The presidential term has not yet ended, and the president is elected by the Congress in accordance with the laws of the Republic of China, so he cannot be moved for the time being.
The cabinet is actually the core of the politics of the Republic of China. The important position of prime minister has become very popular since Duan Qirui took it. At this time, Jin Yunpeng, who had great friendship with all parties, shone brightly. After being unanimously elected as the new prime minister, the focus of both parties fell on the list of cabinet members.
At that time, there were still very few senior officials in the central government of the Republic of China. Unlike in later generations, when dozens of ministers often failed to take care of their affairs, the country was really a small government and a big society. There are nine ministries in total, taking care of major aspects of national life.
Those who could take over as the chief ministers of various ministries were all talented people in the Central Committee at that time. Many of them were career bureaucrats who had experienced several dynasties. The two sides have the least disagreements with Yan Huiqing, who is proposed to be the Minister-General of Foreign Affairs, Fan Yuanlian, who is proposed to be the Minister-General of Education, and Dong Kang, who is proposed to be the Minister-General of Justice. They all have disputes over the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Finance, Agriculture and Commerce, Transportation, and the Army.
Among these positions, Feng’s faction is most interested in agriculture, commerce and finance, followed by transportation, while Cao Kun is most interested in the key departments of the army, navy, and internal affairs.
Because before entering Beijing, the Feng Clan members had a full discussion. Everyone believed that the Feng Clan was not ready to take over the Central Government at this time, so they started hastily. Now all internal and external troubles have been transferred to the Feng Clan, which looks glamorous. Incomparable, in fact, the gain outweighs the loss.
The internal worries were caused by the lurking Anhui clique, the advancing Kuomintang in the south, and the rival factions of the Zhili and Fengzi factions; the external worries were caused by the intensification of proxy wars by Britain, the United States, and Japan. As Japan's "natural" ally, Zhang Zuolin could only barely keep his If he takes control of Beiyang, he will have to risk falling out with the Japanese unless he is willing to become a traitor. You can express your opinions and be an angry youth in the audience, but after taking power, you cannot do many things too radically.
??The Zhili clique has the backing of Britain and the United States, and can appropriately resist the demands of the Japanese. This is their advantage. This is the reason why they dare to compete for the dominance of the political power. Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Navy and the Army, which are in charge of the police, are all their targets. Therefore, the backbone of the Fengcian department believes that it is better to focus on development for now. Agricultural business and finance are quite complementary to the Northeast economy and need to be given a try.
Based on a one-to-one ratio, the two sides compromised on four more chiefs. Zhang Zuolin needed to choose two of the three positions directly related to internal affairs.
Considering that the navy was a direct line and Sa Zhenbing had a huge influence in the navy and even the government, the direct line decided not to reach out in this area; but when it was time to decide on his own for the Army Chief, Jin Yunpeng quit.
Among the several prime ministers, except for Duan Qirui, who also served as Army Chief, who served for a long time, the other prime ministers changed in a revolving door. As a veteran of the Republic of China, Jin Yunpeng would not have known this, so he insisted on serving as Army Chief. Otherwise, he would Would rather not do it.
The chief minister can negotiate a solution, but there is only one prime minister, it is either/or. It is really difficult to find a candidate like Jin Yunpeng who has strong support within the Zhili and Fengcheng factions. In order not to add trouble and variables and resolve the chaos in the Central Committee as soon as possible, Cao Kun decided to compromise.
There is only one candidate left for the Chief of Transportation, President Xu Shichang nominated Ye Gongchuo. Considering the influence of the transportation system in the government, both parties agreed.
Therefore, in a seemingly friendly atmosphere, it was finally decided to form Jin Yunpeng's cabinet. Its list was the product of mutual compromise between the Zhili and Fengtian cliques: among the nine cabinet members, Zhang Zhitan was from the Zhili clique, Wang Naibin was from the Fengcian clique, and Jin was from the Fengcheng clique. Both Zhou and Ye were from the Transportation Department and were close to the Feng Family. There was also Sa Zhenbing who had a very good impression of Zhang Hanqing.
The Feng clique controls important transportation and financial powers and has a favorable position in the cabinet. Generally speaking, it seems that the Jin cabinet is gradually leaning towards Zhang Zuolin, which makes Cao Kun and Wu Peifu very dissatisfied.

Chapter 414 Negotiation

Of course, not all the benefits will go to the Feng family. At least the Zhili family accelerated the process subsequently and carried out a powerful combing of the remaining defeated soldiers on each battlefield. After all, the Fengcian Clan has very little contribution, so it can only exert influence on the Anhui Army on the northern front. Once the Zhili Clan reacts, the Anhui Army on other fronts will be faced with the problem of where to go.
The senior officers have all abandoned their troops and fled, but the Beiyang Army has its own specific attribute, that is, it is state-owned. You listen to whoever comes to power, at least that's what junior officers do. So when the president declared a truce and the superiors disappeared, they stopped fighting, but there was chaos inside, and they were all waiting for explanations.
With the three divisions and five brigades of the Border Defense Force, in addition to the 2nd Division and a mixed brigade being absorbed by the Fengtai, there are also two infantry divisions and four mixed brigades trapped on various fronts.
Of course the Zhili clique is watching with eager eyes, because the border guards have the best equipment. Each mixed brigade has an artillery battalion, and each border defense division has an artillery regiment. These are the decisive factors on the battlefield in this era. The only regrettable thing is that the Feng Dynasty moved too quickly, and the heavy grenade | artillery battalion was the first to run away. It was originally full of things in the bag!
But the Feng Clan is not easy to get along with. Although the two sides are allies on the surface, we still know that the stronger the enemy is, the weaker we are. Therefore, no matter what, these troops cannot be included in the Zhili Clan.
Of course Wu Peifu quit. After spending such a high price, he only got one 13th Division. The effort was not proportional to the gain. The Fengxian Army had one more division and one brigade! If they knew that the Anhui army was defeated so quickly, they would not have allowed Fengjun to get involved in this matter anyway. They did not fight well, and the result was nothing.
Cai Chengxun, the direct commander of Suiyuan and the commander of the First Division, was ordered to retreat to Shaanxi and directly gave up Suiyuan, which also opened up the passage north of the Yellow River, which was an absolute benefit to the Fengcian. The Zhili Clan's income is very little, and the provinces along the Yangtze River and the south are already in the Zhili Clan's circle of influence and have nothing to do with the Fengcian Clan!
So he said to Cao Kun: "No matter what, the commander-in-chief must withstand the pressure at the Beijing Congress and demand that the Zhili army accept the surrender of the Anhui army from various places. We have spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources, but we cannot let Zhang Zuolin reap all the benefits in vain. Let’s go…”
However, when Cao Kun tactfully proposed the ownership of the surrendered troops, Zhang Zuolin said with dignity: "We only care about the overall situation, and these small matters will be handled by the people below. It's been a long time since we saw each other, it's true that we two brothers get together , talking about this is disappointing."
Since the other party’s eldest brother does not come forward, if I eagerly discuss things with the other party’s younger brother, wouldn’t it be a disguised form of lowering my status? Therefore, Cao Kun decided that Wu Peifu would come forward and invite people from the Feng clan to negotiate. They thought that the only person who could represent Zhang Zuolin in the pass was Sun Liechen. Sun is currently the warlord of Jilin and the second-in-command of the Feng clan, rivaling Wu Zheng.
What he never expected was that a young man was sent by the Fengxi faction He looked at Wu Peifu, who was so angry that he didn't know where to direct it, and made a bow with a smile: "My nephew is under the orders of Marshal Zhang, the patrol envoy to the Northeast and the strategic envoy to Mongolia." , came to discuss with Wu Shuai about incorporating the Anhui clique into surrendering the army."
Wu Peifu felt insulted. He claimed to be a direct line of Dinghaishenzhen and a figure like Zhuge Liang. Although strictly speaking, he was only a rising star, but because of his dazzling abilities, he was already on an equal footing with Cao Kun. Even though Fengxi sent Sun Liechen, he still felt wronged.
Now the other party actually sent Zhang Hanqing from the next generation!
Although the young marshal's expeditions to the north and south were all the rage for a while, in his eyes, most of them were due to factors that were pleasing to the eye: the recovery of the Middle Road, Mokuowei, Hulunbuir and even Mongolia were all due to the weakening of the Russian civil war and the defeat of the northwest army in Gansu and Ningxia. It's all about using the more to bully the less, the strong to bully the weak, but the foundation of the Feng system is solid; as for his skills in managing the world and benefiting the people, they are simply ignored
But after all, Zhang Hanqing is the commander-in-chief of a party with heavy troops, and his status is comparable to that of his division commander, which is even a bit aggrieved. After all, he has 6 divisions and he is only one. Of course, it is another matter that Wu Peifu's third division is a demon-like existence.
So, the two lieutenant generals, one old and one young, exchanged glances as they looked at each other, and then turned back. Wu Peifu has a bright forehead and a standard Chinese character face, and he looks very blessed. If it weren't for the sharpness in his eyes, no one would associate him with the most important straight commander in the history of the Republic of China. He sat still and accepted his bow forcefully, and said with a solemn expression: "Why, you Sun Shuai don't dare to come by yourself?"
The governor of the Republic of China can be called "marshal" on formal occasions. If he is a patrol envoy, he will naturally be called "marshal" because his official rank is one level higher. His immediate family members had already called Wu Peifu "handsome" in private, but Zhang Hanqing, knowing this, still called him "handsome" very loudly, which made him unhappy at first.
&nHe made great contributions to the subsequent forced landing. After the war, he was rewarded based on his merits and was directly promoted from the commander of the mixed brigade of the 3rd Division to the commander of the 23rd Division. He was finally on an equal footing with Wu Peifu.
And although Wu and Wang were in the same camp, because he and Wu had always been at odds, Zhang Zuolin boldly adopted Zhang Hanqing's suggestion in order to divide the Zhili clique and urged him to concurrently serve as the commander of the Beijing garrison. Cao Kun, who was more than just a thief, thought this was a concession from the Feng clan and happily accepted it.
If the Zhizhi and Fengxi armies withdraw from Beijing, Wang Chengbin, the garrison commander, will really be an important person holding the power of one side. Whether Wu Peifu can accept him as his equal will test his political wisdom. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 415 Differentiation
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
As someone who has experienced it, Zhang Hanqing knows that due to uneven distribution of spoils in history, Zhili and Fengcheng fought two consecutive wars. With the current results and Wu Peifu's ambition, it will be difficult to give up. The current Zhili clique is still very united and powerful, which is one of the reasons why they were able to defeat the strong Feng clique again after the Zhili-Anhui War in history. Only later, the Zhili clique internally divided, and there was a second Zhili clique. The Feng clan avenged its victory in the Feng war.
Now, it is necessary to maximize the differentiation of the Zhili clique. Therefore, Zhang Hanqing tried his best to ask Zhang Zuolin to promote Wang Chengbin and suppress Wu Peifu.
During the Feng Guozhang period, the Zhili Clan had strong local power, mainly composed of its collateral branches - the "Three Governors of the Yangtze River" (that is, Jiangsu Governor Li Chun, Jiangxi Governor Chen Guangyuan and Hubei Governor Wang Zhanyuan) plus Zhili Governor Cao Kun composition. After Feng Guozhang's death, the Zhili clique was divided in appearance and spirit, just like the small station clique in the past (Yuan Shikai's power was divided into Zhizhi, Wan, and the important Fengcian clique). Li Chun of the Yangtze Clan once wanted to Cao Kun of the Baoding faction competed for the leadership of the Zhili clique, but died young. He mysteriously committed suicide in Jiangsu in the third month after defeating the Anhui clique, and passed the position of military governor to Qi Xieyuan, who was uncertain.
Wang Zhanyuan was appointed as the governor of Hubei Province. He was an old member of Feng Guozhang's direct line and had always had a bad relationship with Wu Peifu. According to official history, Wu took advantage of the Sichuan-Hunan Allied Forces' attack on Hubei to force Wang Zhanyuan to step down. He could be regarded as a comrade with "political disagreements".
After defeating the old enemy the Anhui clique, the once powerful Zhili clique quickly split: on the issue of war and peace with the South, Wu Peifu was the one who took the lead. He grew in strength during the battle with the Southern Army, so during the peace talks in Shanghai After the cancellation, it was decided to continue using troops against the South. He moved the Third Division into Luoyang, an important military town, and located the center of the military command center in the former Yuan Shikai palace. He built more than 50 houses on the east and west sides of it as a staff headquarters for his staff and strategists to live in, and built the "Jiguang Tower" in the south. "Dedicated to receiving important Chinese and foreign visitors. In addition, more than 1,000 cave dwellings were built as dormitories for student soldiers. At the same time, a radio station was established, an airport was built, aircraft were purchased, and Luoyang Airlines pioneered.
Because he recruited talented people, raised pay, trained troops, and expanded his strength in Luoyang, he was called the Luoyang faction;
The leader of the Zhuhe faction was Wang Chengbin. He had an estranged relationship with the Feng clique before and was a native of Shenyang. Therefore, he was unanimously agreed to be the commander of the Beijing garrison after the war, thus becoming a real power faction and gradually becoming an equal with Wu Peifu. meaning. Wu Wai wanted to integrate direct resources through war, but he wanted to expand his power by boiling frogs in warm water. Because he made his fortune in Tianjin and is the current mayor of Tianjin, he is also called the Tianjin faction;
The last faction is the Baoding faction headed by Cao Kun, which is also a moderate faction. Because his military strength is mainly based on the Third Division of the Army, its organization is not two brigades and four regiments, but three mixed brigades, and the commander of the Third Division is Wu Peifu. After the war, he integrated the two mixed brigades of the Border Guard into five, becoming a rare fist army with five mixed brigades in the Republic of China, enough to compete with more than two Beiyang Army divisions.
Among the three factions, Wang Chengbin is the weakest. This puts a little pressure on Wang Chengbin, and he inevitably has the idea of ????getting close to the Feng Faction in order to protect himself. He is regarded as a non-staff ally of the Feng Faction.
After the war, the three provinces of Anhui, Zhejiang, and Shandong, which were originally agreed to be assigned to the Zhili clique after the war, did not completely fall to the Zhili clique as expected due to various problems:
The governor of Anhui, Ni Sichong, was Duan Qirui's strong supporter. After the failure of the Anhui clique, Ni was dismissed and went to live in seclusion and live in an apartment in the Italian Concession in Tianjin. His subordinates Zhang Wensheng and Ma Lianjia turned to Zhili, which was a bit of a gain.
Shandong has always been the territory of the Anhui clique, and the governor was once obtained by Zheng Shiqi. He actively carried out the strategy of "protecting the territory and the people" and tried hard to maintain a balance between the Zhili and Fengtian forces. In fact, he was leaning towards the Anhui clique. His successor was Tian Zhongyu, the Shandong governor of the "Zhi-Wan Clique——another name for Qiantoucao" who watched the Anhui Clique fail, and he also served as provincial governor after the war. Because of the caution of Zheng and Tian and the rapid defeat of the Anhui army, the Anhui clique had failed before Tian Zhongyu had time to express his position.
This was also a blessing in disguise. Wu Peifu could not find an excuse during the war or after the war, so he could not get involved in Shandong.
Zhejiang is the "hardcore" territory of the Anhui clique. However, the local military power of the governor Lu Yongxiang is really strong, and he has inextricable connections with various financial groups in Shanghai. In addition, he changes quickly and has strong connections. There are not many pigtails to catch in the Zhiwan War, and after the war, the civil society The voices for peace grew louder, and the Zhili clique was powerless and did not dare to start the war again, so that it just sat back and watched Zhejiang become the last base of the Anhui clique.
The less powerful you are, the more you value your immediate interests. The Border Guard Army was carefully built by Duan Qirui. Although it collapsed within a few days, it did not mean that its combat effectiveness was not strong. On the contrary, in the process of fighting against the Zhili Army, it was precisely thisThe border guards defeated Zou Duofen's rash advance by the Feng army, and also delayed the pace of the Zhizhi army's attack. Wu Peifu, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, recognized this force.
Therefore, he insisted on the opinion of the Anhui army within the "jurisdiction" that whoever fights will surrender. The Anhui army in the north had already surrendered to Feng Jun. Zhang Hanqing could not just allow the government to set fire to it. Cao Kun was easy to fool, and Wu Peifu was not an easy person to get along with.
But this team cannot be easily defeated by Wu. With his ability, he will definitely be a strong opponent in two years. So before coming, he already had a way to deal with it. He went on to say: "According to the discussion between the two generals, the armies of both sides withdrew from Beijing City, and all the city defense pressure was handed over to Commander Wang, who served as the garrison commander. Considering that he The strength is insufficient, I suggest that the surrendered troops on the battlefield be reorganized into city defense troops on the spot and still be put under the responsibility of Commander Wang. What does Commander Wu think?"
The people participating in the talks are the brains of both parties, and it is inevitable that Wang Chengbin will be among them, and this negotiation will definitely reach his ears. This proposal was initiated by Zhang Hanqing. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Wang Chengbin will definitely write down this favor. As a result, Wu Peifu did not fall into the trap, but instead improved Wang Chengbin's strength, giving him more confidence to compete for direct leadership or independent pole. No, Wu Peifu is a bad person, and the relationship between the two will become even more tense.
Sure enough, Wu Peifu knew the weight of these words. He looked at Zhang Hanqing, sighed and said, "Did Han Qing come up with this idea?" In his mind, there must be someone capable in the Feng family behind such a magical move. Tips.
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "My nephew suddenly thought of it when he was lucky enough to be on the mourning platform. To be honest, Uncle Wu and my nephew are negotiating calmly here, and there are not many people who are interested in arranging it behind the scenes. Now outside, it is said that Zhifeng After several rounds of negotiations to grab the territory, there is still no result. According to the view that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, the peace after this Anhui clique is far away. It is better to be able to contain the Anhui clique when it is there. If you let others do this, Talking nonsense, but the two sides have been unable to reach an agreement, and both public opinion and military morale are changing in an unfavorable direction.
My nephew, after much thought, I still think it is absolutely right for the two armies to withdraw from Beijing, so that others will have nothing to say, right? But when I thought that weak city defense was not a blessing for the capital, I suddenly thought of the border guards on the battlefield. They have stayed in the capital for a long time, and if they have the opportunity to serve the country again, they will be happy to obey. Besides, they are caught between our two armies, and trouble will not arise. They handed them over to Commander Wang and unified the affairs and powers, so that Commander Wang could stand up.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT OUT of the woods "
The Feng Clan can have such a high profile, look at the problem completely from the perspective of stability, and can put aside the "sectarian" view and let Wang Chengbin recruit ambush troops. As a member of the Zhili Clan, if he really opposes it, he should not face internal criticism. ? If this happens, he will still bear the responsibility for the breakdown of the negotiations. Who knows what evil moths there are in the Feng Dynasty?
“Forget it, it’s better to let the meat rot in the pot than smell the aroma from the neighbor’s pot. Wu Peifu finally agreed that in addition to the two mixed brigades in Luoyang that had surrendered to Wang Chengbin, the remaining two divisions and two brigades, totaling about 30,000 people, were organized into the Beijing garrison and handed over to Wang Chengbin.
For Wang Chengbin, this was an unimaginable good thing. In this way, with a garrison of 30,000 people in one division, his strength surpassed the army directly controlled by Cao Kun and became the princes second only to Wu Peifu. In this way, he will formally establish a government office within the direct line and become a complete pole.
Therefore, he had a very good impression of Zhang Hanqing. He personally visited Zhang Hanqing’s house that night, thanked her repeatedly, and made many promises to treat her as a family. His gratitude came from the bottom of his heart. He knew Zhang Hanqing's importance in the Feng family.
Of course Zhang Hanqing wants to make friends. In addition to dividing the Zhili camp, because Beijing and Tianjin are integrated, he still needs to rely on the garrison commander for many things. Wang Chengbin patted his chest and promised that as long as he could do it, he would do his best to help. It was true, but it was quite heartwarming.
In return, Wang Chengbin also revealed that he will resign as mayor of Tianjin and is preparing to have his successor recommended by the Feng Clan. He was not a fool. He asked the two big bosses to agree on where the two armies would retreat. One was Baoding and the other was Tianjin. Feng Xian proposed the expansion of Jehol Province in the first agreement before the war, which shows his ambition to manage the customs. In addition, by dividing Tianjin equally, Cao Kun's meaning is already very clear: the army has withdrawn to Baoding, so what can it do to fight against the Feng Dynasty, which has heavy troops stationed in Tianjin? He has essentially acquiesced to the Fengtian control of Tianjin.
In terms of overall appearance, the Zhili Clique cannot be considered a disadvantage. After all, the more important capital city is completely handed over to the Zhili Clique. As for who belongs to whom, it is not Zhang Zuolin's control. One side controls the capital and the other controls the capital, roughly equally divided. As the commander of the Beijing garrison, Wang Chengbin has a high and powerful position. It is no longer appropriate to stay as the mayor of Tianjin, so it is better to give him a favor.
Zhang Hanqing decided to accept his favor. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Decided to accept his favor. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 416 An old friend comes

With the overall situation settled, Zhang Hanqing was in a good mood. Surrounded by his guards, he took a rare look at the city of Beijing again.
I revisited my old place. Four years ago, he was just a young boy who was a hostage. Four years later, he was already a prince, a general of the country who exercised power on behalf of the clan, and a veritable young marshal.
In four years, things have changed and people have changed. A group of people he knew, passed away, collected mountains, fled into exile, retired to seclusion, and remained silent. The Feng family has legitimately gained a large sphere of influence, and it urgently needs a large number of talents from all walks of life to take charge of the country for it.
Cai E passed away, and the house he bought in the capital was covered with dust, but the memory of him is still vivid in his mind. Therefore, Zhang Hanqing arranged for people to collect some calligraphy, deeds, messages, etc. left by Cai E, and built the "General Cai Memorial Hall" in his old residence for people to pay tribute to his historical achievements.
Duan Qirui is the largest warlord in the Anhui clique, but he was able to seize the opportunity and resolutely put down military power, which reduced the country's losses. From this point of view, he has merits and demerits. After the Anhui clique was defeated, unlike others who either went into exile or ran away from the concession, he stayed at home. But he was not willing to wait for death, so he sent his son Duan Hongye, Zhang Hanqing's ally, to "visit" him.
Zhang Hanqing met Duan Hongye politely and gave him a dose of reassurance: "Duan Shibo's merits outweigh his faults. I will ensure that the new government will not pursue his charges."
Once upon a time, Duan Hongye, as a favored son of heaven, did not pay attention to Zhang Hanqing as a proton, but he never imagined that in just a few years, the Duan family would need to be protected by the other party. It was really a twist of fate. It was at this time that he began to admire his father's ability to judge people, and therefore he felt ashamed: "Brother, he is not someone who has lived under others for a long time. He and I are no longer the same person."
Originally, I wanted to visit Zhu Qiqian’s home in person, where the beautiful figure of Miss Zhu San was there when he first fell in love. Over the past few years, Zhu Songjun's shadow has gradually faded in the back of his mind, but as an old friend, he still hopes that she will live well. I heard reports that Mr. Gui decided to retire from politics after serving as the general representative of the North at the North-South Peace Conference because the negotiations broke down. Now he is focusing on being the president of his "Hainan Charity Association" in Beidaihe. Being able to survive repeated major changes and being praised by all parties, Zhang Hanqing would not easily let his valuable political experience go to waste. He had decided to see him again when he returned to Shenyang.
There is another person that he has been thinking about for a long time, which is another purpose of his trip to Beijing. He is Jiang Baili.
In Zhang Hanqing’s memory, in the early Republic of China, the only people with strategic vision in the military were the so-called "Three Heroes of Beiyang". Now that Cai E has passed away and Zhang Xiaozhun has returned to Hunan, the only one who can be found in Beijing is Jiang Fangzhen (zi Baili). This recognized No. 1 military theorist during the Republic of China was either brilliant or perseverant: his "Zhejiang Tide", his outsmarting Mussolini, his suicide while serving as the principal of the Baoding Military Academy, his Japan His wife, Ms. Zuomei, his son-in-law Qian Xuesen, and his adjutant Jiang Weiguo are all legendary.
Throughout his life, he wrote many papers that were like "prophecies", which were often fulfilled afterwards. For example, Jiang Baili's "Study on the Japanese, a Foreigner" and "Basic Concepts of the War of Resistance" made predictions about the War of Resistance Against Japan, which are basically consistent with the facts, which shows the high level of his strategy.
??When it comes to General Jiang Fangzhen (Jiang Baili, also known as Fang Zhen) among the older generation in Japan, he is even more famous than in China. The Japanese remember his "On National Defense" and his anti-Japanese strategic theory. After eight years of bloody battles, looking at General Jiang Baili's theory of the anti-Japanese war, the Japanese army seemed to be following the general's command and advancing honestly from east to west to Hunan. , and then fell into China's quagmire-like protracted war, unable to extricate itself until it was defeated.
He is also an extremely embarrassing figure in the history of the Japanese Army. The scene when he graduated and won the award is quite legendary, because the Japanese Army Military Academy announced that the graduates were ranked from front to back, and the first name read was "Jiang Fangzhen."
At that time, there were more than 300 Japanese graduates of the ninth batch of infantry courses and four Chinese students. Just like that, the first place was taken by the Chinese student Jiang Fangzhen, that is, Jiang Baili. Of course, the sword given by the emperor also belonged to China. The Japanese Military Academy felt that it was unbearable to lose face. Unexpectedly, it was announced that the second place was still Chinese. This second place was Cai E, the romantic general who later launched an army from Yunnan to rebel against Yuan. The commotion this caused was even greater. So the Japanese checked before announcing the third place. Unfortunately, the third place was still Chinese, named Zhang Xiaozhun!
The graduation official of the Japanese Military Academy was Prince Fushiminomiya. In panic, he felt that he could not explain it to the emperor, so he temporarily replaced a Japanese student as the third place. He also thought that the first four Japanese students were not even half of them.??, another Japanese student was added as the fourth place, and Zhang Xiaozhun won the fifth place.
Who are the two added people? One was Sadao Araki, later Japanese Army General, Prime Minister, and a Class-A war criminal; the other was Jinzaburo Masaki, later the Governor of Taiwan, Army General, and the mastermind behind the 226 coup. In addition, the Japanese graduates in this issue also include the following figures: Kuniaki Oiso (later Prime Minister), Shigeru Honjo (Commander of the Kwantung Army), Iwane Matsui (the culprit of the Nanjing Massacre), Nobuyuki Abe, etc., which can be called Japan A generation of elites in the army were all defeated by Jiang Baili.
Since then, the Japanese Army Military Academy has stipulated that Chinese students must be taught separately from Japanese students to avoid the same situation happening, which can be said to have greatly improved the ambition of the Chinese people.
Of course, whether this is falsehood is open to question. According to tradition, the top students (the top few) who graduate from Japan's military academy get silver pocket watches, and the top five graduates from mainland China are from the saber group. However, mainland universities must be recommended by the captain to study, and international students are not eligible (of course North Korea Except, it was already a colony at that time).
??????????????????????????????????????????????????? off, anyway, this person is capable, there is no doubt.
In 1906, Chiang returned to China and served as the general counselor of the Supervisory Training Office under Zhao Erxun. However, he was squeezed out by Zhang Zuolin and other old military figures. In the same year, he went to Europe to inspect military affairs as the battalion commander of the Seventh Army of the German Wehrmacht. In Germany, his outstanding military talents were highly praised by Field Marshal Hindenburg, the veteran of the German military circles. Returning to China in 1910, he was promoted by his classmate Liang Bi, who was a non-commissioned officer, and took up the post of commander of the Imperial Guards. Later, he was transferred to Zhao Erxun to resume his previous post.
In the second half of 1912, Jiang Baili, then the principal of the Baoding Military Academy, committed suicide in front of all the students on the playground because he was strongly dissatisfied with the Beiyang warlord government's default in arrears and misappropriation of Army University's education funds. Fortunately, he was rescued by the students who woke up. He came here, but from then on, he became disillusioned with the Beiyang government and resolutely left the military. Later, she met and married the Japanese nurse Sato House. After the marriage, Sato House changed her name to Zuomei. Their daughter, Jiang Ying, is a famous musician and the wife of Qian Xuesen, the father of China's missiles.
Speaking of which, Zhang Hanqing had some connection with him. Without his praise, Zhang Hanqing would have been a little short of a success if he wanted to achieve such a great reputation in the capital.
I heard that he had not been happy in the past few years. After Lao Yuan passed away, he had completely separated from the military. He accompanied Cai E to Japan for medical treatment and immediately arranged his funeral. He returned to China in 1917 and served as an advisor to the Presidential Palace of Li Yuanhong. He began to write his first military treatises such as "Sun Tzu's New Interpretation" and "Military Common Sense". After publishing, he became a teaching assistant in military schools. In the years after Li Yuanhong's downfall, he was free from official duties, writing books and essays, serving as editor of some magazines, organizing poetry societies, etc.
After that, Jiang Baili's path changed, and he actually started to cultivate martial arts and cultivate literature. From 1918 to 1919, he went to Europe with Liang Qichao for inspection. After returning to China, he chaired groups such as the "Book Club" and "Gongxue Society". In 1920, he was elected as a member of the Zhejiang Provincial Parliament, participated in the drafting of the Zhejiang and Hunan provincial constitutions, and supported "federal autonomy." He also edited the magazine "Reformation", whose influence was second only to "New Youth" edited by Chen Duxiu. He was full of enthusiasm and knowledge, but he had no opportunity to stretch. After the war between Anhui and Anhui, he still lived in Beijing.
If he is allowed to develop on the road of literature, there is no guarantee that a literary great will not emerge. For example, the "History of the European Renaissance" he wrote soon became famous because he and Liang Qichao wrote the preface for each other, and it is still used today. Work | Central Academy of Fine Arts’ Western art history textbook.
But there are not many literary people in China now, but one less Jiang Baili is a burden that the current era cannot bear.
There is no need for Zhang Hanqing to worry too much. The "Intelligence Bureau" had already been ordered by him to closely monitor Jiang Baili's residence in Beijing and discovered that he was preparing to defect to Wu Peifu, waiting for an opportunity to attack Zhang Zuolin and avenge his past grudges.
How could Zhang Hanqing miss such an outstanding talent? As for pushing into the opponent's arms, anyone with a little knowledge will know that it is absolutely not possible. When Qian Xuesen returned to China, the Americans believed that he was enough to withstand the strength of five divisions; in Zhang Hanqing's eyes, in a purely military sense, Jiang Baili was no less than Qian Xuesen.
Two days ago, when the Anhui clique was defeated, Jiang Baili keenly realized that he had been spied on by unknown people. When he was unwilling to pack up his important belongings and wanted to leave the dangerous area, he was stopped by a few strong men at the entrance of the alley. However, although these people looked ferocious and had dicks on their waists, they were not disrespectful to me at all. The leader only said that he was ordered to keep him.
At this moment, Jiang Baili was restless. He sensitively judged that his old enemy Zhang Zuolin had sent someone to claim his life again!
During the Wuchang Uprising, Zhang Zuolin was at odds with himself, so he was forced to flee from the Northeast. Zhang Zuolin sent people to chase him to the train. Jiang was in emergency, so the staff on the train opened the restroom for him to use and locked it on the outside (originally, the train would not allow people to use the restroom before departure), so he was spared. Unexpectedly, after many years, he still couldn't escape Zhang Zuolin's clutches, and Zhang Zuolin actually held a grudge like this!
One night, Jiang Baili, who was restless, had already imagined the worst case scenario. But what surprised him was that this time it was not a disaster but a blessing. Early the next morning, with a crisp "salute" outside the door, a familiar smile appeared on his face. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Zhang Zuolin actually holds a grudge like this!

Chapter 417 Two visits to the thatched cottage
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
His smile was like a shot of tranquilizer, making Jiang Baili feel warm: Although he is still young, the young marshal is no longer the young man with a green face and boastful talk. His land reform, New Deal, founding of the party and army, as well as his achievements in the northwest, have gradually made him a towering tree that needs to be looked up to.
However, Zhang Hanqing is still so easy-going. He said with joy on his face: "I didn't expect to see Mr. Jiang here again after four years of separation. Has Mr. Jiang always been well?"
At this point, Jiang Baili felt relieved. No matter what, with this person's identity and my understanding of him, no matter what I decide, my life will be safe! The person who came was Zhang Hanqing, the young commander of Fengjun who was now famous all over the world.
He and Zhang Hanqing are old friends. They have been separated for more than four years. The young man who had not yet grown up at the time has now become a world-famous young marshal with a hundred thousand elite soldiers under his command.
Zhang Hanqing could only laugh at this kind of falsehood: He often has one hundred thousand elite soldiers and one million soldiers, do you think he is talking about storytelling? Is it so simple for everyone to just mess it up? He currently controls a total of 4 army divisions and 2 cavalry divisions, with only 70,000 to 80,000 troops.
????????????????????? Don’t hit the smiling person with your hand. It is true that Jiang Baili and Zhang Zuolin had a quarrel, but there was no conflict with Zhang Hanqing. Although they are father and son, they have completely different ways of doing things and have completely different ambitions. Besides the differences between the previous generation, there is no point in saying goodbye to the younger generation, right? Besides, to be honest, he still admires Zhang Hanqing. It was true then and it is true now.
The reason why Jiang Baili is a great person is that he naturally has his own qualities. He also smiled and said: "Fang Zhen is lucky to be able to entertain the world-famous young marshal in his humble house. The young marshal conquered the Russians and suffered national humiliation, brought peace and chaos to the Mongolian territory, and achieved victory in several battles in Gansu. That was a man ranked among Sun and Wu. A kind of military strategist. I also heard that the young marshal served as the governor of Gansu. At the young age of the young marshal, he should be a bright star in the history of the Republic of China. I am happy to congratulate him."
Well, this is a good start, there is no more obvious rejection.
However, his news is so accurate. During the meeting between the two heads of state yesterday, Zhang Zuolin jokingly mentioned that Xu Shichang wanted him to resume the titles of patrol envoy to the three eastern provinces and economic envoy to Mongolian Xinjiang: "This is a roundabout way. Circle is like living my life again."
This is because he is dissatisfied with the reward for this battle. Also, his patrol envoy to the three eastern provinces was promulgated two years ago, and two years later, with the power of a great victory, his main title has not changed. Even the part-time job of Mongolian economic envoy was decided last year. of.
Looking back at the Zhili line, Cao Kun was originally appointed as the economic and strategic envoy of the four provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan and Hubei in name only and was proposed to be appointed as the patrol envoy to Lu and Henan. Even Wu Peifu was proposed to be the deputy patrol envoy. This made Lao Zhang feel that it was unfair to him. .
But he is already unblockable. The patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces is also the military governor of Fengtian, the economic envoy of Mongolia and Xinjiang, and the governor of the four provinces of Xing'an, Rehe, Suiyuan, and Chahar. The authority is no less than that of the vice president——even the president may not have it. He is alive and nourishing!
There was no choice but to make a compromise. If I had nothing to reward, I would reward my son, so there were rumors that Zhang Hanqing was proposed to be the governor of Gansu. This news is true and will definitely be implemented, but the source of Jiang Baili's information is really amazing. It seems that his focus on literature is just a cover. Otherwise, why would he be so passionate about politics?
I am not afraid that he has the ability, but I am afraid that he will die. Zhang Hanqing felt a little more confident in his heart. He didn't even dare to say it, but said sincerely: "I just have a false reputation. How can Mr. Jiang actually be proud of the Chinese people in the past? He won the fight with the Japanese, and he is a hero; What’s the point of winning if you fight against your own people?”
His words were in line with Jiang Baili’s thoughts. He has been studying Japan for half his life, so he has a strong interest in it, especially the young commander who is likely to influence the country's attitude towards the Japanese in the future. By relying on various newspapers and periodicals, he knew that Zhang Hanqing had always been unpretentious towards the Japanese, but those were all reports, and what could really reveal his heart was his attitude in daily life.
?????????????????? Many times, politicians’ words can only be half-believed, and more often, they have to be listened to in reverse. The Northeastern Zhang family and his son usually fought against the Japanese occupation with great force | China was formerly Shandong, then Northeastern, and then Manchuria and Mongolia, but railways were still built by the Japanese one after another, and the Japanese still penetrated into the Northeast little by little. It seems that so far, the autonomous government in Northeast China has not done anything to the Japanese!
Jiang Baili smiled and tried to test, and said: "It is not easy to win against the Japanese! Since the Ming and Han Dynasties, the Japanese have used small and broad skills to defeat the Beiyang Navy in the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War. Then they used the weak to defeat the strong and destroyed two Russian fleets at sea. . Now he is in the camp of European and American powers with a complete victory. He has the British alliance outside, industrial and economic development inside, and he has China's resources. It is difficult to defeat him!"
? ??Hanqing smiled. He looked at Jiang Baili and said word by word: "Mr. Jiang, let's not engage in unnecessary verbal disputes. I also know your hatred towards the Japanese. Otherwise, no matter how capable you are, I will not come to you." you.
As for me, you don’t need to tempt me. I am not afraid to speak out loud. I am a complete anti-Japanese person. Everything I do in Northeast China and now is for one goal: to defeat Japan! The purpose of my coming here is also for one thing, to use your strengths, to rectify the stragglers of the Feng Clan, to integrate the comprehensive strength of the Feng Clan, and to plan the Feng Clan's strategy for Japan. Once the time is right, I will launch the Feng faction and drive all the Japanese out of China! "
Jiang Baili was shocked! The young marshal in front of him, with his immature face, told a very exciting and grand plan. He absolutely believed Zhang Hanqing's words and was infected by his passion. However, he needed to make a calm judgment to decide whether Zhang Hanqing was a person worth entrusting to him.
"Doing twice the result with half the effort, doing twice the result with half the effort, the key to the choice lies in people. China has fallen behind for too long and cannot afford to make any more mistakes."
He asked quietly: "The Fengjun and the People's Army are flourishing under the leadership of the Young Marshal and his son. Is the Young Marshal too unfounded?"
Zhang Hanqing's answer was both calm and pertinent: "Sir, there is no need to test. I have already discovered our problems. It's just that the old habits of cliques are hard to change. I wanted to change them but couldn't do it for a while, so I looked for opportunities to establish another People's Army. Now the People's Army The army and Fengjun are separated from each other. Since I need to focus on the northwest affairs as the base camp, I have no time to divide myself. The current control of Fengjun is not in my hands. There are more than ten divisions of the Northeast Army, Northwest Army and local security forces. It is fragmented and needs someone to coordinate it. This is a big move.
The Fengtian faction is currently only focusing on developing the industrial economy and does not yet have the ability or opportunity to transform these into military capabilities. The more money the government makes, the more worried I am about attracting hungry wolves. The current Feng clique has gained a lot of benefits in the recent war, which has laid the foundation for the crisis of rebellion against the Zhili clique. It is also facing heavy pressure from Japan, including European and American powers, and has a long way to go. One careless move can lead to the entire game being lost. But what is the mentality of today’s Fengxian people? Both afraid of the sun and arrogant, if there is any trouble, they will be coaxed, confused, and dispersed by themselves without others to fight against them. "
The words are very direct and realistic. Jiang Baili saw clearly as a bystander, but he did not expect that Zhang Hanqing, one of the parties involved, could have such a vision to dissect himself. Based on this alone, he had the potential to become a hero. Hearing this, Jiang Baili's favorable impression of Zhang Hanqing increased, but he still needed to be humble. He nodded and said: "I am just a scholar, I can only talk about military affairs on paper, and I have never fought in a war. In terms of the level of fighting, the young marshal is definitely far above me." He said humbly and empathically: "I am In the military, the highest position can only be the principal of the military academy, and in politics, the highest position is only as a counselor in the presidential office. You are a young marshal in the Northeast and you can't do that. How can I, an outsider, help you?"
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "There is no need to be overly modest about your abilities, sir. Fighting is a matter for the generals. Sir, you are a handsome man. Planning strategies and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away is your ability. Fengjun is too big to lose, and he is involved. The benefits are so strong that I don't plan to spend too much time on transforming them.
"But the Fengtian industrial economy was created by me, and I need my husband's help. Even if they are to scale up and become a system and become the guarantee for China's protracted war, they also need to have the ability to turn into military industry at any time. This kind of large-scale plan to convert the army into civilians and the civilians into the army requires people with great ability to be in charge. My husband is quite knowledgeable in the field of military science. Now I will give you a stage and it depends on whether you are willing to turn it into reality.
???????????????????With the help of my husband, the strong industrial capabilities of the Fengxi Group can be converted into military capabilities at any time. In this case, I can use this capability to arm my own army, the People's Army, at any time. Only when I am strong enough will the transformation of Fengjun be a matter of course. I hope you can help me, sir! "
Jiang Baili couldn't help but look at Zhang Hanqing again. This young marshal's ambitions are really extraordinary, and his ideas are not generally reasonable: he is not eager for success, but he is also able to customize his work. The one who will become a great person in the future must be the young marshal!
Jiang Baili couldn't help but be moved by learning a skill and repaying it to the emperor's family. In this troubled world, only the young commander can realize his ideals and ambitions. However, his sordid relationship with Zhang Zuolin
What is this? Zhang Hanqing smiled brightly: "My father didn't know that my husband was helping me at that time, otherwise he would definitely be no less important than Uncle Zhan'ao and Uncle Fuchen in the Feng family. Although my father came from a rough background, his mind is by no means ordinary. Narrow-minded. I think back on how fiercely Feng Delin and Feng Shibo fought with my father. In the end, my father still spared no effort to keep him safe, and promoted his eldest son to serve as a counselor in the Fengtian faction - now he is the director of the Air Force Preparatory Department.
"As long as your husband doesn't blame you for the grudge that happened back then, I guarantee that my father will treat you with courtesy and rely on you like a great wall." " In order to calm Jiang Baili's fear of Zhang Zuolin and express his sincerity in recruiting talented people, Zhang Hanqing even stole a poem to express his feelings with a "magic pen":
"The birds still hold stones in their dreams, but the warriors fight against the tide together with sincerity.
After all the calamity, the brothers are here, and when they meet, they smile and forget their grudges.

Chapter 419 A general is hard to find

It is not that there are no talents in the Fengxian system, and there are many people who are aware of their own shortcomings, but there are not many people who can make a systematic summary like this.
Within the Feng Faction, there are mostly old-school generals. These people have been with Zhang Zuolin for a long time. Although they contributed a lot in some wars, their style is rough and has a strong warlord style. When he was still outside the Pass, many people advocated that Zhang Zuolin be the "Tu Emperor" outside the Pass. Fengjun officers and soldiers also have a strong nostalgia for their hometown and have an instinctive rejection of sending troops to fight in foreign lands.
From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, the Fengtian clique successively gained Xing'an, Mongolia, Gansu, Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan and other provinces and regions, and its strength increased significantly. As the strength of the Feng clan expanded, the ideas of occupying the mountain as king, separatist rule with armed forces, forming cliques, and enfeoffing princes gradually emerged again. The Zhili clique is splitting, so why not the Feng clique? It's just that they mutate more slowly and inconspicuously.
Zhang Zuolin was originally a bandit and a rough man. Although the Feng clan succeeded by chance with their own cleverness in the struggle for power, they were completely unaware of the crisis in China. They took it for granted that Japan's ambition was only to obtain some benefits in the Northeast, but it would not really threaten his rule or What's more, some have the ambition to annex the Northeast. After gaining the strength of nearly 10 provinces and regions, I couldn't help but feel complacent and thought, "I am the best in the world, who else can I do?" Before entering Beijing, he spoke to a reporter from the Western Press in Tianjin, saying, "He only discussed the aftermath with Cao Kun. Wu Peifu is just a division commander and should not interfere with politics."
Zhang Hanqing was very worried about the arrogance of the people in the Feng dynasty: they were surrounded by external enemies and divided into the north and the south. With the strength of the Feng army, they were somewhat good at dealing with warlords of various factions, but they were far from the strength of the Japanese army. He often commented with Zhang Zuolin on the figures in the army and ignored current affairs. He believed that the internal talents were withering and there were few generals who could take charge of their own affairs and had strategic vision. He advised his father that it was too early to drive away the Japanese threat and carry out the great cause of unifying China.
In Zhang Hanqing’s view, the only general in the Feng army who could stand alone was Han Linchun. The rest, such as Ding Chao, Tang Yulin, Xi Qia, Wan Fulin, Yu Zhen, Zhang Jinghui, Xu Lanzhou, etc., can only serve as guard envoys for one side, and some cannot even be counted as standard generals. The slightly outstanding ones such as Jiang Dengxuan enjoyed high prestige among the soldiers because of their resolute and courageous temperament, their boldness and disregard for wealth, their ability to run the army strictly, and their ability to share joys and sorrows with the soldiers, but they were not good commanders. Although Jiang was also listed as one of the "Five Tiger Generals" in official history, his military achievements were not outstanding. Sometimes it is not an exaggeration to describe him as repeated defeats. Therefore, Zhang Hanqing made good use of his advantages and appointed him He serves as the director of the military's political department, which can be regarded as giving full play to his talents.
Guo Songling is also a general, and he is rare among senior officers in the Fengjun Army. However, because of the "Luanzhou Incident" in history, Zhang Hanqing still hopes to keep him firmly by his side. If he still counterattacks like in the official history, the hard-won situation will come to naught again, and it may be even more powerful.
Zhang Zuoxiang is a figure: he has been with Zhang Zuolin for a long time, he is calm, loyal and upright, deeply trusted by his superiors and subordinates, he has great prestige in the army, and he is also Zhang Hanqing's loyal arm in official history. Zhang Hanqing's evaluation of him was that it was acceptable to sit in the central government, but it would be useless to serve as a local prince, and his ability to develop was insufficient.
Yang Yuting is a talented person, but he has been deposed for 2 years because of recruiting private soldiers. This man is a good hand in military equipment. Although he is a bit domineering in the official history, he has real skills and is a strong candidate for the future Minister of General Armaments. Zhang Hanqing wanted to suggest Zhang Zuolin to re-enable Yang Yuting, but he had to work hard to prevent him from forming a party for personal gain and forming his own system.
Zhang Hanqing thinks he is one, but he is still in the stage of laying a solid foundation for the Feng system, which is also his strength. For strategic planning, to this extent, it is no longer something that the advantages of time travel can bring. This is time-consuming, laborious and lengthy work.
In a word, it is true that the Feng Feng and the People's Party factions are strong on the surface, but they are still a mess on the inside.
Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen and others have thought about it, but they have no good ideas. Now Jiang Baili, whom Zhang Hanqing has found, can see the problem so thoroughly. He is a talent in his own right. The young marshal's eye for people is indeed well-deserved.
However, Jiang Baili's ability lies in following the "trend" guidance, just as he insisted throughout his life that China must win: "Just know your own problems and work hard to improve them! As for whether you are afraid of the enemy because of this? It's not like that. As for knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Are our advantages and our shortcomings known to the public?
The immediate pressure is that the Zhili clan is sharpening its knives and intending to make a comeback; the Japanese are eyeing it and sometimes intend to annex the Northeast. I would like to ask all the gentlemen sitting here, if Japan launches a sudden attack, how many troops are currently in the key passes in the Northeast that can fight? What are the chances of winning? Every time there was a dispute between Northeast China and Japan, Japan always threatened to refuse to use the South Manchuria Railway. In this way, as long as we focus on the short term?The superior military strength will definitely not be able to hide it from the Japanese. Therefore, the Japanese army can calmly deploy in the Northeast, while our army is hampered everywhere.
Therefore, whenever Japan encounters military pressure, it concentrates its superior forces, while our side is slightly lacking in manpower to face it. Over time, the fear of the sun has increased greatly. Therefore, whenever there is a dispute with Japan, the government fails to act and falls behind. Among the people, hatred and fear of the sun coexist. Those who hate the sun will do a lot of illegal things for Japan; those who fear the sun will do so because the government cannot effectively safeguard the interests of the people and often responds with weakness. As time goes by, the arrogance of the Japanese people will increase, and the fear of the sun will grow stronger among our people. If I can't change the situation, there's no need to fight. I've lost. Without him, the people's morale has been lost and their morale has been lost.
Is the Japanese army invincible as it is said to be? I think this statement is completely false. "
Jiang Baili used his unique research on Japanese military history, taking the Russo-Japanese War and the military god Nogi Nogi Nogi as examples of the Russo-Japanese War that military officers had heard so well, and talked about the performance of the Japanese army in the Russo-Japanese War:
“Military history and military strategists at home and abroad all believe that the comprehensive victory of the Japanese navy and army in the Russo-Japanese War marked the emergence of Japan as a powerful country. However, one fact that needs attention is that Japan’s victory was actually a tragic victory.
Judging from the tactics of Nogi Nogi, who was known as the "Military God" of Japan after the war: starting from late June 1904, he used 3 divisions, 2 reserve regiments, and 2 field artillery brigades with a total of 56,000 troops and 386 Despite the absolute advantage of the cannon, they adopted unprecedented "suicide tactics" and launched three general attacks on the 33,000 Russian troops in Lushun, which lasted nearly a hundred days. The Japanese troops rushed into the battlefield with blood and flesh flying everywhere. Nogi used seas of people, tunnels, and night attacks, and even organized a charge of 3,500 death squads with white cloths tied on their heads. All ended in failure. More than 50,000 Japanese soldiers died in the battle, and Lushun still remained. in the hands of the Russian army. In this regard, even Shan County, which strongly recommended Nomu, advocated removing Nomu from his post and investigating the reasons for his defeat. However, Emperor Meiji vetoed Yamagata's proposal in order to make the people and soldiers blindly obey the emperor's belief in the policy of blinding the people and the army, and saved Nogi's defeat.
In fact, in this offensive and defensive battle, Nogi was an out-and-out fool and defeated general. While the battle was ongoing, many family members of Nogi's subordinates who died in the battle threw bricks and tiles at Nogi's house in Tokyo, calling him a "murderer."
After the end of the Russo-Japanese War, Nogi Nogi returned home on January 14, 1906, leaving behind the bones of tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers and the bodies of his two sons. On the way back home, Nogi shed tears in the wind on the boat and wrote a poem: "The imperial army conquered millions of captives, and the mountains were made of corpses after conquering the city in the field." I am ashamed to see my parents. How many people are here today? ’ At the triumphal celebration meeting organized by the emperor for Nogi, Nogi Nogi’s first words were: ‘I am killing my brother and my father, so Nogi is! ’ People in the welcoming crowd cried bitterly, missing their relatives who died in the war. When Emperor Meiji of Japan returned to Japan, he took the blame for the heavy price he paid for the attack on Port Arthur and was willing to die to apologize. However, Emperor Meiji pardoned him again and granted him the first level of merit, from the second to the count, and promoted him to count. Replenish the military council officer.
The above is about the shortcomings of the Japanese army's tactics and combat power. Even if it is a strategic disadvantage, the strength and weakness of Japan and China are very obvious: the Japanese army is far away from the homeland, and logistical supplies are extremely difficult. The mainstream of the new military is the so-called "total war", that is, fighting without distinction between front and rear. Therefore, the enemy's firearms stations, warehouses, grain depots, stations, bases, outposts, police stations, etc. are all targets of our attack. The longer the Japanese army's front line, the weaker its ability to control the battlefield.
The young marshal has a unique insight. He knows that the war between China and Japan is inevitable, so he plans to deploy in the northwest and north China in advance to take advantage of the development potential of the Fengxian. As time goes by, we will have more and more advantages in the northeast, and we will have more and more advantages in the northeast. People are becoming less and less afraid to move lightly.
But defeating and expelling the Japanese did not rely solely on recruiting powerful troops. Since the implementation of constitutionalism in European countries, the country's organizational capabilities and political functions have become increasingly stronger. The number of active soldiers is based on one percent of the population, and the annual military expenditure is based on one-third of the national budget. The so-called "accuracy" means that it is accurate, otherwise it is called "militancy". The labor and lives of non-combatants in the rear may have greater responsibilities and dangers than those of soldiers on the front line. The origin of all new equipment lies in the establishment of the New National Economic Law: "What is needed for war is still the word 'money'."
The area of ??contact between the Northeast border and Japan's sphere of influence is too large, which seriously weakens the Northeast Army's strength advantage in the Northeast. Japan has spheres of influence in the Kanto Prefecture, along the South Manchuria Railway, on the Sino-North Korean border (Liaoning and Jilin provinces), and behind Heilongjiang (Vladivostok and Khabarovsk in Russia, as well as Chifeng in Eastern Siberia, Mongolia, and Jehol), and has stationed Military, police. These places are all well connected by transportation, making penetration extremely convenient. The Feng army was on the defensive and passive at every turn, consuming a large amount of its effective forces.
For the current plan, we should use superior force to guard the key points, so as to be able to defend what the Japanese army must attack. The various armies must be able to take care of each other and communicate easily. For Japan, we should be willing to give in and seek development in order to achieve long-term stability. "
Jiang Baili gave a very enlightening lesson to the new and old generals of the Northeast Army, and also gave some Japanese-phobic officers a shot in the arm. This is what Zhang Hanqing has meant to say a long time ago. The purpose is to let the Fengjun generals under his command understand the gap between China and Japan, and to point out Japan's weaknesses in a targeted manner, so that the Fengjun officers can learn how much they have hidden deep in their hearts. The fear of Japan in 2016 has weakened even further. As an outsider, Jiang Baili's conclusion that Japan is strong and weak is strong, which coincides with the young commander's subtle and subtle indoctrination, which coincides with the same direction, making some high-level officials in the Fengcheng department less worried about Japan.

The Zhizhi and Fengcheng factions defeated their common enemy and soon fell into new troubles.
Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin were not in a hurry to leave Beijing and intended to divide the spoils. This made President Xu Shichang anxious. He had no choice but to meet their demands. After their demands were basically met, Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin left Beijing for Tianjin on September 4, where they married their children.
After the war, meritorious personnel were awarded. Cao Kun was appointed as the patrol envoy to Zhili and Henan and the governor of Zhili, and Wu Peifu was the deputy envoy to Lu and Yu. In order to appease Zhang Zuolin's dissatisfaction with Wu Peifu's appointment, Jin Yunpeng not only appointed Zhang Zuolin as patrol envoy to the three eastern provinces and economic envoy to Mongolian Xinjiang, and to control the four provinces of Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan and Xing'an, he also appointed Zhang Hanqing as the governor of Gansu. Han Linchun was appointed as the military envoy to protect Gannan.
This time when they entered the Pass and drove the section, Feng Jun obtained more than half of the territory along the Beijing-Fengcheng Railway in eastern Tianjin and Zhili at a very low price. In total, this territory was taken by force from Duan Qirui. In addition, In addition, in accordance with the previous agreement between Zhili and Fengxi, Zhizhi ceded the Suiyuan Special Zone. Zhang Jinghui's 16th Division captured the rich front and rear river loops without firing a single shot.
Suiyuan was part of Monan Mongolia during the Qing Dynasty. Because General Suiyuan was stationed here, it was named Suiyuan. Guisui Road belongs to Shanxi Province. In 1914, the Yuan Shikai government separated it from Shanxi and established the Suiyuan Special Region, covering an area of ??nearly 330,000 square kilometers. The terrain is dominated by plateaus and can be divided into three parts: in the north is the Mongolian Plateau. Part of the country, mainly the Gobi Desert, is rich in mineral deposits, and the famous mining capital Bayan Obo is located here. The Yellow River runs through the central part, forming the Hetao area, which is divided into Qiantao and Backtao. It is the essence area. Major cities such as Baotou and Guisui (i.e. Hohhot) are mostly located in this area. The southern part is dominated by the Ordos Plateau, where the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan is located.
Suiyuan borders Shaanxi and Shanxi to the south, Gansu (including Ningxia Special Region) to the west, Outer Mongolia to the north, and Chahar to the east. Its geographical location is very important. With the acquisition of Suiyuan, the Feng army in the northwest and northeast not only filled in the previously unfavorable terrain in the shape of a burden, but also greatly shortened the distance between the major cities in the northwest and northeast, surrounding Beijing in an arc, strengthening the Feng army's advantage in Beijing. . Since then, the Northwest People's Army and Fengjun have become one, and the momentum has been great
After Ji Jinchun's 28th Division occupied the Jixian-Langfang line, the Jin Yunpeng government followed Zhang Zuolin's "request" and transferred Tangshan and Qinhuangdao to Rehe, and changed the Rehe Special Area to Rehe Province, with Tang Yulin He is the military governor, security commander and provincial chairman of Rehe.
The three eastern provinces plus Xing'an, Mongolia, Xinjiang, Chahar, Suiyuan, Rehe, and the Gansu province controlled by Zhang Hanqing. So far, Zhang Zuolin has owned 10 provinces and autonomous regions, occupying almost one-third of China's land. , and jointly controlled the political situation in Beijing, and the forces from outside the customs officially intervened within the customs.
Zhang Zuolin was satisfied, but Wu Peifu was disgusted when he saw Zhang Zuolin showing off his power in Beijing. He went to Beijing on the 16th to negotiate with Zhang Hanqing on the recruitment of the Anhui Army, and left Beijing on the 17th.
First, Zhang Zuolin's arrogance, and then Zhang Hanqing's final kick, made his idea of ??taking advantage of the opportunity to expand his strength come to nothing. He believed that the Feng clique did not contribute much in the war, but gained far more benefits than the Zhili clique, so he was always holding his breath.
With this anger, he came to Zhengzhou, convened a meeting of his direct generals, and vowed to avenge his shame: "This war is not worth mentioning, it is the most painful thing!" He decided to choose Luoyang as the training base, concentrate on training, and expand the direct army. The strength of the army is ready to fight Fengjun.
Zhang Hanqing is always preventing the Zhili-Fengtian war from happening in history, but in this situation, due to the uneven distribution of spoils, the Zhili people are holding their breath. According to this trend, it won't be long before the Zhili-Fengtian war in history will definitely happen. The Zhili clique occupies various places north of the Yangtze River, and is backed by Britain, the United States and other countries. Wu Peifu is very powerful, and he is always thinking about launching a second war to redistribute forces. My current stall is too big, so it is not appropriate to fall out with my direct line at this time.
He wanted to consciously give some benefits to his immediate family, but Zhang Zuolin was not one to take advantage of others. When the war was about to end, he rushed to collect all the ordnance, baggage and other items left by the Anhui army. Among them were two air force searchlights that had been obtained by the Zhili army. Zhang Zuolin took them back without mercy on the grounds that Zhang Hanqing wanted to build the air force and needed them. So Cao Kun was so angry that he kept saying: "Zhang Yuting is really a real beard. Those things are not enough. He even wants these two lamps and his children's relatives!"
"In this way, everyone from Cao Kun to Wu Peifu thought that the Feng clique had taken a big advantage. However, Wang Chengbin and others finally made peace, and Cao Kun also felt that it was not appropriate to fall out at this stage, so he tolerated it. But a single spark can start a prairie fire. Sooner or later this tone will come out, and then it will be a different story.
But Zhang Zuolin felt that he did not earn enough, and believed that without the Feng clique, even if the Zhi clique won, they would only get one at best.Just a disabled Zhili. Moreover, the Feng clique had strong soldiers and horses. After the war, the Zhili clique benefited in terms of government personnel arrangements, territory expansion, and army expansion. Just like that, Wu Peifu, a rising star, was still talking nonsense, asking the Zhizhi Army to calm down and prepare for a counterattack. It was really unpopular!
The two leaders have this kind of mentality. There are two wars in history, and it is not without reason.
Zhang Hanqing is unable to reverse this kind of flame that will explode as soon as it is loosened. When political interests are involved, both sides will be in a fight to the death. All he can do is to delay the time of tearing off the face as much as possible. During this period of time, he must also work hard and work hard to take the initiative on the battlefield if he falls out.
It is the trends abroad that deserve attention. Because the agent directly suffered a loss, Britain and the United States were not to be outdone, and wanted to contact Japan with the intention of jointly exerting pressure to regain the situation. However, although the Japanese government does not want to see the Feng clique become powerful, it is willing to embrace the Feng clique because the pro-Japanese Anhui clique Duan Qirui government has collapsed and Japan urgently needs to support new agents. to continue its interests in China. It is difficult for the Zhili clique to interfere with the interests of Britain and the United States. Supporting the Fengcian clique is the best choice at present, so Japan chooses to remain silent.
The British were weak in northern China and unable to compete with the Feng army. In desperation, they began to divide Feng's forces in the central government. They began to encourage Tibetan independence as a means of putting pressure on the Republic of China government.
This move can be described as cruel, because the relationship between Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng and Zhang Zuolin is getting closer and closer. If chaos breaks out in Tibet, as the prime minister, he will not be able to absolve himself of the blame. The power of the Feng Clan is concentrated in the north of the Yangtze River and will never interfere with it. The only one Jin Yunpeng can rely on is the Feng Clan. Taking into account the traffic conditions here, the Fengtian clique is afraid that they will not be able to make any kind of response. Think about it, Zhang Zuolin has been working as a Mongolian economic envoy for many years but has never been able to enter Xinjiang.
In this way, as long as Jin Yunpeng is given a little sweetness, he will obediently fall in line with Zhili. In politics, there are no permanent allies, only eternal interests.
Internal and external troubles are testing the Fengxi faction’s ability to respond, as well as the young marshal’s political wisdom. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

The two parties immediately entered the love mode. Talking about things in such an atmosphere was deliberately created by Zhang Hanqing. He introduced the people around him to Zhu Qiqian one by one.
“Deputy Commander Zhu Guangmu, everyone has known him for a long time, but they didn’t pay much attention to him at the time. Zhu Guangmu is now the Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the People's Party, Director of the General Office of the Central Committee, and the top leader in charge of key departments of the People's Party.
Jiang Huanan, the commander-in-chief of the bodyguard, Miss Zhu San has met; Ji Jinchun, the commander of the 28th Division and the former enemy commander of Fengjun outside the Pass; Liu Shangqing, the proposed mayor of TianjinZhu Qiqian has met them all.
He has seen a lot of the world, so talking is quite comfortable. He said that the younger generation, such as Zhu Guangmu and Jiang Huanan, were young talents; the older generation, Ji Jinchun and Liu Shangqing, he praised for their steady demeanor and, regardless of their literary skills, they were good assistants to young marshals. The female members of the Zhu family have also received modern education and have no habit of avoiding guests.
Finished, let’s get to the point. Zhang Hanqing made a sincere statement and said: "The purpose of my nephew's coming here is, firstly, to meet his uncle, aunties, sisters and brothers. Secondly, he also wants to invite his uncle to serve as the mayor of Qinhuangdao City, so as to contribute to the management of Fengxi." force."
Zhu Qiqian waved his hand and said: "My dear nephew, it's not me who refuses. I have officially withdrawn from the political arena and no longer want to get involved in political matters. There are as many people in the clique as crucian carp crossing the river. Why use an old man like me?" After what he just said, After getting close, he resumed his previous friendship with Zhang Hanqing and even called his nephew.
Zhang Hanqing had already made up his mind to fight to the death, so how could he reject it casually? He still smiled and said: "Uncle, you don't know something. The development of Qinhuangdao is the area with the largest investment outside Tianjin that we have decided to build outside the customs. It is also a new industrial base in the customs. It is the result of the joint efforts of the whole society. Construction is related to the rise and fall of the Fengxian. The initial planned investment is 30 million, and the later investment will be tens of millions. Those who dare to accept it must have great courage. Looking at the whole country, few people can be recognized.
"You are very capable and well-known in the political circles of the Republic of China. To be honest, it was my father's idea to ask you to come out. He said that to straighten out the dual-layer relationship between the government and enterprises, we must have capable people. Uncle, you have served as Minister of Internal Affairs in the government and have experience in running a business. Being the mayor of Qinhuangdao is very easy for you. Besides, my father and I can rest assured that we can leave our possessions to you.
In order to prevent my uncle from thinking that this was a sign of condescension, my father nominated my uncle to concurrently serve as the deputy director of the proposed planning committee, who would be solely responsible for the industrial and commercial layout outside the customs. Uncle, when Xueliang comes, my father is always telling me that I must ask you to come out of the mountain no matter what. If my nephew’s face is not enough, I will go back to the Northeast and ask my father to come forward and invite me in person! "
At this point, he was already smiling. Now, he lies without blinking an eye. Zhang Zuolin only assigned him full authority to handle the economic layout of the pass. How can he give any extravagant so-called instructions? However, he is not worried about the possibility of trouble. With Lao Zhang's personality and his trustworthiness in employing people, Zhu Qiqian will only praise him more fiercely when he sees him.
It’s rare for today’s young marshal to put his efforts into finding someone. At least Zhu Qiqian was a little moved by his sincerity. It is true that Zhu Qiqian wanted to quit because of the failure of the North-South peace talks, but it does not mean that he does not have ambitions. It is hard to imagine that such a slight setback would make a famous figure who once occupied a place in the political arena of the Republic of China really want to quit. His frustration may not be due to the decadent feeling that his talents are not being appreciated due to changes in circumstances and trends.
Seeing that there was a way out, Zhang Hanqing took the wife route again. He said to his wife: "Auntie, look at how clear the water in Beidaihe is and how nourishing the air is! Otherwise, why don't you see a wrinkle for several years? But if you develop it indiscriminately, not only waste people and money, but also destroy the mountains and rivers. It’s too disgraceful. Only a capable person like my uncle can prevent such a thing from happening. If it’s not for official reasons, it’s just for your skin care, which my uncle, the mayor, has to do.”
He pestered Mrs. Yu in a rogue way, making Mrs. Yu dumbfounded: "You are a young commander, but you are acting like a rogue." However, it was this strong sense of family affection that disarmed her: "Guixin, how about you Just agree to give him a try? Don't look at me, the big idea is still yours." Having said that, the tendency is actually obvious.
As everyone rowed the boat, Zhang Hanqing looked at Zhu Songyun again: "Third sister, please also advise uncle. I once said that I would build you a big house, facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming. If uncle does not stay in Qinhuangdao, I will build it. , it’s boring for you to live alone.”
The sisters all laughed, wondering why he still remembered this. Even Zhu Qiqian laughed, and he said with a smile: "Well, it seems that you have mobilized all the family members. If I don't agree, you don't know what evil will happen. I will do this first. Mayor, if you are not satisfied, you canPlan to replace me. "
He knew that becoming the mayor meant that he was completely tied to the Feng family. However, with the current momentum of the Fengxi system, I am afraid that many politicians are trying to find a way to get in. Zhang Hanqing personally invited him to come out, which really gave him a lot of face, which was very useful to him.
He is not a pedantic person. Although the purpose of what Zhang Hanqing discussed with him was to improve the strength of the Fengtian Clan, having such courage to enhance the military strength through economic development rather than blindly going militarily shows that the Fengcheng Clan has far-reaching goals and desires. Very big. Moreover, Zhang Hanqing revealed that the amount of investment from the Feng Clan is staggering. If it is true, it means that the potential strength of the Feng Clan is far more terrifying than it appears on the surface.
Everyone agreed on important matters in a harmonious atmosphere. Ji Jinchun originally came to escort Zhang Hanqing. Now that the task was completed, his division headquarters was stationed in Beidaihe, so he left and returned to camp. Liu Shangqing was a leader in the financial industry, and he and Zhu Qiqian were both insiders and had been well-known for a long time. They also needed to communicate with Zhu Qiqian outside the customs. The two only exchanged a few words and quickly got into work mode.
Only Zhang Hanqing was relaxed and free from anything. He is an excellent manager, focusing on the big and letting go of the small. Once a decision is made, it will be completely handed over to the people below for execution. He only plays the role of consultant and supervisor. Therefore, he was able to have a lively chat with Zhu Songyun when he had time.
The two had not seen each other for many years and were of the same age, so they naturally had a common language. When they reunited again, they suddenly felt cordial. Zhu Songjun was originally a frequent visitor in social circles and was used to hanging around among men. Now that Zhang Hanqing has such power, and his many years of military career have made him more heroic, it is inevitable that he will feel a little close to him, so the conversation is quite speculative.
When Mrs. Yu saw this, she didn't know whether she was happy or worried. Alas, let young people make their own decisions. However, as a philosopher said, "People cannot pass through the same river." Can the water that has been poured out still be recovered? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 425 Ruining a pool of spring water

The living room was already occupied by Liu Shangqing and Zhu Qiqian who were in passion. When Zhang Hanqing saw Mrs. Yu preparing lunch, he gestured to Zhu Songyun to go out. After all, young people have the language of young people and it is not convenient for them to speak in front of their elders.
At this time, Zhu Zhai was already on high alert, and there were five posts and one sentry at ten steps. Zhang Hanqing still paid great attention to the image of the young marshal in public, so the two of them were joking while walking towards the third lady's bedroom. Since the Republic of China, Western influences have gradually spread, and in some wealthy families, the defense between men and women is not that strong.
Zhu Songjun’s boudoir is on the third floor. From here, you can see the faint waves. To the north on both sides is Lianfeng Mountain, which can be said to be a good place surrounded by mountains and rivers. Leaning over, you can have an unobstructed view of the courtyard.
This is a Chinese-style villa. Zhu Qijin named it "Li Xiaozhu", which means that Fan Li hid among merchants after the Yue Kingdom destroyed the Wu Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period. To this end, he devoted a lot of effort. The owner of the Renshu Construction Project designed the building into a curved ruler shape. The right angle of the curved ruler is in the northeast. The structure is practical and grand. There is a Western-style pavilion in the southeast, with stone pillars as columns and colored stones as tiles. The heat here is blocked by the tall mountains, and the sea breeze blows in front of you, which is very pleasant.
Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but admired: "I didn't expect that Zhu Shibo found this good place to live in seclusion. If there weren't many things to do, I really wanted to face the sea here and watch the spring flowers bloom. It was here that I realized that I could be surrounded by How desirable it is to have a beautiful girl hidden in a golden house."
Zhu Songjun rolled her eyes at him, and lifted up her hair that was blown by the wind: "If you don't tell me, I still can't remember it. You still owe me a house. After a few years, you won't default on the debt." Bar?"
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "How can I? I haven't had any free time in the past few years. Let's do this. I will ask Uncle Shi to show me a place later, and I will build a villa on it tomorrow and give it to my sister as a bridal chamber." . Oh no, a new house." He said leisurely: "In this magical blessed land, there is a beauty looking up, what a fascinating artistic conception it must be."
Miss Zhu San smiled brightly: "What does it mean if you give me a house? I was just talking casually, but I couldn't take it seriously."
Zhang Hanqing became serious: "I am serious, sister. I always feel that I owe you a promise over the years." Seriously speaking, Zhu Songjun was the first girl he dated after time travel, although the scheming of this old man in later generations has gone far beyond The ordinary state of picking up girls, but for first love, strictly speaking, it is the ignorant feeling of admiration between men and women, which always exists in the heart.
Miss Zhu San raised her head, looked at him with charming eyes, and said softly: "Are you sure you want to return my promise? Is it possible that I don't want the house?"
Zhang Hanqing said without hesitation: "As long as I can do it, I will help you do it." Being able to show off in front of the former goddess is really a great pride in life. Needless to say, in order to fulfill the promise made that day and to get closer to Zhu Qiqian, this favor was given.
Ms. Zhu San rarely seemed embarrassed. She hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to say, "I recommend someone to you."
Zhang Hanqing was good at observing faces, and he had probably guessed who it was, so he deliberately said: "Is it possible that sister wants to recommend herself to the pillow mat? This is a big joke." Miss Zhu San reached out to slap his mouth, but Zhang Hanqing was quick and did it Caught. She struggled for a while and finally gave up.
"He graduated from Cambridge University in England and is now working in the southern military government. I want to transfer him back. Can you help arrange a position in the Beijing government? First, I don't want my father to know that it is me. I beg you." Zhu Songyun looked at him nervously and couldn't take his eyes away. But when she mentioned this person, she still felt a sense of pride.
Zhang Hanqing held her hand, her hand was warm and lubricated. Well, if, in his mind, if she withdrew her hand and said this to him, he would be very disappointed but still respect her. However, her hand was now in his palm, and he was a little less interested. Is this a honey trap? Or is it a transaction?
"Who is it? Is it worthy of sister's strong recommendation?" Some words must be said by her herself. Although at the age of twenty-two, it is normal for her to have a favorite partner in this era. However, Yu Fengzhi and Huang Wanqing couldn't compare to the open-mindedness they had when they were together with her - they were too traditional and therefore lacked some modern flavor. Zhu Songjun received Western education, which inevitably gave people a sense of novelty in his style and behavior. This feeling has made Zhang Hanqing unable to forget it. Perhaps, this is a man's understanding of first love.
"I'm sorry, Han Qing." Zhu Songjun seemed to find it difficult to say anything. She was silent for a moment and said: "I met him at a dance. He was very knowledgeable and mature. I had just left home after being grounded by my father. And you"It's like that". Little girls like to pretend to be adults, but mature women try their best to pretend to be little girls. This world is so strange.
Sure enough, Zhu Meijun tried very hard to refute: "What a child, I am already an adult, okay?" She had a slender figure, raised her still-developing but not obvious breasts, and demonstrated confidently. : "I know you are afraid that I will eavesdrop. If my mother hadn't asked me to come and watch, I wouldn't have bothered to come to you!"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: A child who hasn’t grown up yet. He talks so freely. How can anyone be embarrassed? Zhang Hanqing laughed awkwardly, and Miss Zhu San also blushed. Zhu Guangmu couldn't help but chuckle. He and Zhang Hanqing had an excellent relationship in private, and the young marshal had no airs about these matters. It is one of the great joys in life to see the always mighty young commander become deflated for a rare moment.
Zhang Hanqing looked at Zhu Guangmu fiercely, thinking: "Don't laugh, your days will still be long in the future." Zhu Guangmu looked at his malicious smile, then looked at the proud Zhu Meijun, and couldn't help but Shivered. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 426 Attracting Investment
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
At this time, Zhang Zuolin left Beijing and returned to Fengfeng. Sun Liechen, the governor-general of Guan Neifeng, was stationed in Tianjin. At Zhang Hanqing's suggestion, Guo Songling was transferred to the post of Chief of General Staff of the Fengjun in Guan Nei and was fully responsible for the reorganization and training of the Feng Army in Guan Nei in accordance with the Northwest People's Army model. Although the People's Army is developing rapidly, Fengjun is still his foundation. The two armies will eventually merge, so let's do it slowly from now on.
Sun Liechen was as close to him as a family, so he started to transform his army first. First, with Sun Liechen's influence, there would be minimal backlash. Second, he was nearby and could easily obtain nearby support.
“We already have mature experience in reorganizing the army, and Guo Songling’s ability is reassuring.
Because of him, he had the opportunity to escape and use his status as a young marshal to frequently contact business people in the north to introduce the Northeast's financial policies and attract investment.
?According to the experience of later generations, opening up to the outside world is the way to strengthen a country. After more than 2,000 years of feudalism, China has established a complete and powerful natural economy. With the family as the production unit, land as the main production data, and the self-sufficiency of products, the natural economy can operate on a very small scale. The formation of a complete system and independent development became an economic factor that enabled the warlords of the Republic of China to separatist power according to provinces.
At that time, China experienced a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society for more than half a century, forming a large number of landlords and gentry merchants with strong natural economic characteristics. Their development was generally within a small geographical scope, and they did not have enough access to the national market. interests, and use trade unions and chambers of commerce within their sphere of influence to boycott foreign economies.
During the Revolution of 1911, they were worried that their existing interests would be infringed, and they were afraid of the Republic of China government's land reform and restrictions on the development of private capital, so they sought protection by supporting powerful local figures. Their indifference to the unification of the national market and their desire for a stable production environment and certain political privileges have made them powerful supporters of local warlords' rule and one of their sources of income.
Even some far-sighted national capitalists only open factories and industries in their own townships, counties, and provinces. It is rare to see large companies that cross provincial boundaries. Coupled with the disputes among warlords in various places, security factors not only became an important assessment for businessmen traveling far away, but also became an incentive for warlords to implement closed autonomy in controlled areas to prevent external infiltration. For example, the small train built by Yan Xishan in Shanxi was an example.
This economic situation, although it had a favorable side in the subsequent Anti-Japanese War - various regions were less affected by external blockades and could fight on their own. There is also a disadvantage - with small capital, it is difficult to form a large scale, and it is difficult to make breakthroughs in major industries or form a complete industrial base. This led to the fourteen-year war of resistance, repeated resistance and defeat. This situation is what Zhang Hanqing does not want to see.
What’s more important is that the Northeast New Deal has entered a critical period, with a lot of waste and huge investment in basic economic construction. Although such infrastructure construction is an inevitable choice for economic take-off, the waste of money is not something that Northeast China's finances can bear in the short term. There are also state-owned factories and mines built by the government, and the investment is even more staggering. In the two years since its establishment, the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government has issued nearly 500 million yuan in treasury bonds, which is still unable to meet the sharply expanding financial investment needs.
Isn’t there still a lot of gold that is useless? As long as the gold is exchanged in the international market, won't the money come? The main consideration is that the money was "unjust", just like serial banknotes stolen from the bank. It must be broken into parts and consumed bit by bit. Although the Fengxi government also does this, after all, delaying the situation will not help the situation.
Of the 300 tons of gold that Zhang Hanqing robbed after being transported to Shenyang, not much is left: 100 tons are used as currency issuance reserves, 5 tons are used to expand the Shenyang arsenal, 30 tons are reserved for the construction of six railways, and 30 tons are reserved for iron ore, coal mining and other industries. More than 70 tons were used in successive investments, more than 30 tons were used in highway and water conservancy construction, 3 tons were used in tractor factories, and 5 tons were used in supporting factories. 20 tons were used to build the Tianjin Automobile Factory within the customs, and 5 tons were used to build the new Tangshan Machine Tool Factory. These have all become shares in Northeast Industrial Bank or Bank of Communications, and are in their own hands. The remaining part has been reserved as funds for building universities and popularizing compulsory education.
And even if there is a huge amount of gold in hand, for such a large country, it is not feasible to rely on the Feng family to support the road of industrialization. If we want to create huge changes in a short period of time, all walks of life must work together. What Zhang Hanqing can do is to use huge sums of money to guide the development of the industry and serve as the Optimus Prime for financial stability.
Therefore, when Liu Shangqing came to Guannei, several Fengtian financial experts issued industrial bonds worth 500 million yuan in Tianjin, with an expected annual interest rate of 6%. Liang Shiyi, Zhu Qiqian, Xiong Xiling, Zhang Hanqing, etc. served as the initiators of the subscription, and the momentum was Quite vast.
Liang Shiyi and Zhu Qiqian, the two heads of the old Communications Department, one a spiritual leader and the other a powerful faction, both moved closer to the Feng Faction. Zhu Qiqian even condescended to serve as the Qin Emperor under the leadership of the Feng Clan.The mayor of the island is surprising. In addition, Xiong Xiling, who was highly respected in the political circles of the Republic of China, also joined with a concern for the country and the people. This is a trend in itself.
As Zhang Hanqing said at the pre-subscription publicity conference: "(This subscription) is to raise idle funds from society, concentrate on building several enterprises with certain competitiveness, and can bring vitality to the national industry, and blaze a trail for China It is a path for people to constantly strive for self-improvement and develop rapidly. We work together and move in the same direction. With more people, we have greater strength. Let the world see that the Chinese people are by no means a piece of loose sand, and we will definitely be strong!"
The federal provincial autonomous government where the Fengtian clan is located (due to geographical expansion, the original Northeastern autonomous government has long been replaced) served as a guarantee and assumed the entire remaining amount of the bond issuance. In fact, this time is just a test of the waters. The Fengxi Group is fully capable of undertaking the subscription. It just wants to let China's private capital, especially national capitalists, see a direction for business operations.
The traditional strength of China’s national capitalists lies in light industry, but what Zhang Hanqing urgently needs is a breakthrough in heavy industry. Generally speaking, the advancement of heavy industry directly brings about changes in military industry. Since the Industrial Revolution, Britain has used steam engines to replace manpower, causing epoch-making progress, and traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to defeat the Chinese Manchu Empire, which had been at the forefront of the world for two thousand years; Japan's Meiji Restoration fully westernized and used European advanced technology to China developed artillery and giant ships, defeated world powers (Manchu Qing Dynasty and Russia) twice, and jumped out of Asia and entered Europe, becoming a recognized power in Asia. According to Zhang Hanqing's thinking, heavy industry should be put first and then light industry. This is also the reason why after the founding of New China, the heavy industry layout was prioritized according to the Soviet Union.
However, later on, the Soviet Union became militaristic. Although its military strength surpassed that of the United States and became a superpower, its people lived in poverty, which indirectly led to the disintegration of the country. Zhang Hanqing would naturally not play to this extent, but if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Northeast and grow stronger, heavy industry had to be his first choice. The strength or investment vision of private capital simply does not allow it and dare not touch this area. However, the government has the need but does not have the money to do much.
In fact, Japan really wants to participate in the Northeast New Deal. It has also actively attracted military and political officials from the Northeast to increase the shareholding ratio of Japanese capital and have the final say.
But unlike his previous life, Zhang Zuolin was very sensitive to Japan's economic investment at home, seeing the strength of the Feng clan. Important figures in the Fengcian financial circles headed by Zhang Zuolin insisted that enterprises affiliated to the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government should hold controlling rights in the enterprise, so that Japanese businessmen could invest and make profits, and various restrictions were imposed on investment projects. With Zhang Zuolin's reputation and influence, the Fengxian government was very tight-lipped in dealing with Japanese economic penetration.
Japanese businessmen adhere to the will of the government and will certainly not give money to the Northeast government to develop the economy in vain. Since the Japanese government established the "South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd." in Dalian in April 1907, this company not only directly operates the South Manchuria Railway, but is also a huge monopoly enterprise engaged in coal, timber, steel, chemicals, electricity, shipping, Construction, post and telecommunications, farms and culture and education. There are more than 80 large-scale enterprises under it, with a total investment of 370 million yuan in 1919. The Agricultural Affairs Section of the Ministry of Agriculture under the Society first built agricultural experimental fields in Gongzhuling and Xiongyue along the South Manchuria Railway, then set up bean nurseries in Kaiyuan and Datun, and built agricultural fields in Dayushu, Tieling, Zhengjiatun (today's Liaoyuan), Hailong and other places. The canal leveled the land and opened up large areas for rice cultivation. Direct profit is feasible, but making wedding clothes for others is not the national character of the Japanese.
Since the Northeastern United Provinces Autonomous Government has received less funds from Japan, it is imperative to attract investment to the northern part of the mainland.
For a time, Zhang Hanqing showed his grace and grace in the foreign markets ten miles away from Beijing and Tianjin. He contacted a large number of people in the northern industrial and business circles to introduce the political and economic development of Northeast China in order to attract investment. Since it is communication, it is inevitable to sacrifice one's appearance for the country. Because he often stayed in theaters and dance halls, he won the nickname of "the four most beautiful men of the Republic of China" together with Yuan Kewen (Yuan Shikai's son), Pu Dong (the younger brother of the late Qing emperor Pu Yi), and Zhang Boju (Zhang Zhenfang's son).
Zhang Hanqing One of the main directions of industrial construction in Northeast China was the extraction of raw materials, mainly mining. The industry at that time used coal mines as the main fuel, so the coal output can show the degree of industrialization. Although the Northeast has relatively abundant mineral deposits, by the end of the second year in 1919, Northeast coal production only reached 20 million tons, which was only close to the level of Japan in 1913 after the Meiji Restoration (21.3 million tons).
In addition, there is a lack of relatively professional talents and equipment. Iron smelting, steelmaking and steel rolling technology are still in their primitive stages. Major technologies that restrict transportation and military industry, such as motorcycle and automobile manufacturing, are basically zero. This is why Zhang Hanqing will actively introduce Dodge cars. The driving force: Zhang Hanqing was depressed when he thought that his Feng Army still mainly relies on mules and horses for heavy transportation, such as the 75mm Krupp Mountain Cannon (or 75mm Bofors Mountain Cannon), which is the main firepower support at the division level in the Fengjun Army. ), its weight, which is nothing in modern times (only about 1.4 tons), requires the pulling power of 6 horses, as well as the transportation of manpower, artillery shells, people and horse supplies, all of which cause huge logistical problems.
If mechanical traction is used, the above problems will be solved. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The pulling power of ?, as well as the transportation of manpower, artillery shells, people and horses, all caused huge logistical problems.

In order to fully integrate the industrial economy with the national defense industry and complete industrial accumulation and military industry progress with the least amount of money, Zhang Hanqing imitated later generations and established the "National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Committee", referred to as the "National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Committee", with Jiang Baili as the concurrent chairman, and began to consciously Support and large-scale production of military products. This military product focuses on automobiles.
The impact of World War I on the economic development of imperialist countries was very different. The economies of the United States and Japan grew rapidly under the stimulus of the war, especially Japan's growth was more significant. Japan's industrial production increased by 89% in 1919 compared with 1913, with steel production increasing by nearly one and a half times. The economies of Germany and other Central European countries were greatly damaged by the war. Germany's steel production was 50% lower than before the war, coal was down 33%, and overall industrial production was cut by 57%. Due to Germany's defeat in the war, the cession of territory and compensation made the economy more difficult. The French economy was also severely damaged by the war. However, due to the recovery of Alsace and Lorraine, the temporary occupation of the German industrial area of ????Saar, and the receipt of a large amount of in-kind compensation from Germany, these are conducive to the recovery and development of the French economy. Although Britain encountered difficulties in its transition from a wartime economy to a peace economy, these were quickly overcome.
In this way, from 1919 to 1920, imperialist countries generally experienced a short-term economic prosperity. Prices soared and credit expanded rapidly. In just one year, prices in the United States, Britain, France, Japan and Italy rose by 30 to 90% respectively. Due to severe inflation in Germany, prices have increased more than four times. Stock prices in various countries have risen by 50% to several times. The growth of production and the rapid rise of commodity prices and stock prices sharpened the contradictions in the reproduction process and soon brought about another economic crisis. At the end of 1920, the economic crisis swept most capitalist countries.
The hardest hit by the economic crisis of 1920 was Japan, which had the fastest economic growth during the war. During the crisis, Japan's total industrial output fell by 48%, steel production fell by 1/2, shipbuilding fell by 88%, and the chemical industry fell by 34%. The United States was also hit hard. Industrial production fell by 25%, steel production was reduced by half, automobile production fell by 28%, the shipbuilding industry was reduced by 83%, and the scale of infrastructure construction was reduced by 1/3. This crisis not only affected all imperialist countries except the United States and Japan, but also affected many colonies and dependent countries.
Some people are happy and some are sad. Zhang Hanqing welcomed the coming crisis. In his view, the weakness of major imperialism, especially Japan, is a booster and stimulant for his Northeastern government and China. Nothing makes a competitive opponent happier than weakening them. For China, which is in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, the main problem is low productivity and insufficient production capacity. There is no so-called overproduction problem at all.
After a great fall there must be a great rise. Can we take this opportunity to transfer excess foreign production capacity to China, imitating the reform and opening up policies of later generations, which will not only enhance China's industrial strength, but also firmly tie foreign capital to China to contain Japan's expansion in Northeast and North China? The economic monopoly structure is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, transferring surplus production capacity from abroad does not mean that China will be used as a place for foreign dumping. On the contrary, China urgently needs to earn foreign exchange from exports to support industrial development. Although the gold obtained by "Operation Huang" is a lot, it is shady and difficult to use. But no matter what, even if you have more money, you cannot spend it casually like the nouveau riche.
The Fengjun autonomous government's economy is currently in a state of exhaustion in all aspects, but there is no bridle, and there will be no immediate results in the short term in terms of increasing industrial strength. In this way, when war comes, industry cannot be quickly transformed into military strength, cannot form a fist, and has no deterrent effect. Otherwise, the expanded economic strength will not only fail to add support to oneself, but may also become the cause of "the crime of possessing a treasure". Otherwise Lu Xun wrote to the point: "If it is a lion, it is okay to boast about how fat it is; if it is a pig or a sheep, being fat is not a good sign."
What industry can achieve this effect? Zhang Hanqing naturally thought of cars. I remember it was mentioned in a book in my previous life that cars are used as a symbol to judge the industrial strength of a country. Think about how many joint venture automobile factories China has established in the 20th and 21st centuries in order to catch up with foreign advanced industrial levels. With the engine, the heart of the car, as the bridle, major processes such as chemical industry, rubber, optics, machinery, electronics, metallurgy, etc. are all important parts of industrial development, and are also an important symbol for assessing the comprehensive development level of all aspects of industry.
China is very likely to achieve a breakthrough in industry by taking advantage of the opportunity of manufacturing cars. The construction and use of automobiles requires the consumption of large amounts of oil and steel, which will further stimulate the development of these two pillar industries; the large-scale use of automobiles will promote the manufacturing and transportation industries, which will have a great impact on the national economy.It will have 3,000 cars and 10,000 trucks, and will expand to the direction of cars, eventually reaching a branch factory with an annual output of 100,000 vehicles of various types.
The Dodge factory therefore had a chance to survive a desperate situation.
The reason why cars are built is because the consumption power of the dignitaries in concessions such as Shanghai and Tianjin is too strong. It is unreasonable not to make money from them. Moreover, Zhang Hanqing does not want to use a big horse as a means of transportation in the social circle. This is to attract popularity. Yes, but in the cold weather in the north, it is still windy. And when exposed to the outside, it seems that the safety factor is not very high. He has already named the future car——Hongqi
With the assistance of Lamende, the representative of the new American banking group, the Tianjin Dodge Automobile Factory was officially built. Zhang Hanqing mobilized nearly a hundred technicians from all over Northeast and North China to work in the factory in an effort to master the manufacturing technology and lay the foundation for later imitation by the Feng clan. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 428 Layout

The reason why Lamende works so hard is to repay the olive branch extended to Britain and the United States by Fengxiang. In order to counter Japan's penetration in North China, Zhang Hanqing frequently sent dignitaries to visit envoys and representative businessmen of British and American countries in Tianjin and Beijing to preach the new government's attitude towards friendly cooperation with Britain and the United States, and promised to protect their interests in China and the safety of overseas Chinese. , encourage investment.
Britain and the United States, acting as agents of the Zhili clique, already have interests along the Yangtze River. In order to further control the political situation, they must adopt a prudent attitude of cooperation with the Beijing Beiyang government under the control of the Fengcian clique. The U.S. Congressional group has basically reached an understanding with the factional forces represented by Zhang Hanqing. In order to concentrate on dealing with Japan and the subsequent industrial layout, Zhang Hanqing had to compromise and admit the U.S. railways in the Yangtze River Basin and the Jinpu Line, Beijing-Hankou Line, etc. political and economic rights along the route. Moreover, on the condition that Qinhuangdao, Huludao, and Yingkou are allowed to be stationed in Qinhuangdao, they will receive a loan of 100 million yuan from the United States and a loan of 60 million yuan from the United Kingdom.
??——It's not a lack of money. In fact, Zhang Hanqing has quietly taken out 100 tons of gold and turned it into the foreign exchange reserves of various banks in the Northeast. That is a huge property of 500 million US dollars! The introduction of new competitors is, firstly, to restrain Japan's excessive economic development and monopoly in the Northeast when it is the only one in the Northeast. Secondly, it is also for security - in order to protect their own interests, at least Britain and the United States will not easily agree to Japan's monopoly in the Northeast. Not only that, after Britain and the United States have huge interests in Northeast China, they are bound to interfere with Japan's actions in Northeast China. At least Qinhuangdao, Huludao and Yingkou are safe. These three places are also important ports and economic development channels in Northeast China.
As for whether it will lead to attracting wolves into the house and keeping the tail large, Zhang Hanqing also thought about it in detail, but the final conclusion is that Britain and the United States are pursuing interests, at least they will not have the ambition to actually occupy the Northeastern land like Japan. For the sake of expediency, temporary pain is still necessary.
Under Zhang Hanqing’s personal layout, the industrial capabilities of the Fengxi Department have made great progress. As the basis of industry, a country's steel production basically represents the country's industrial capabilities and war potential.
In 1915, the "Benxihu Coal and Iron Co., Ltd." started production. By 1917, it had two 300 cubic meter blast furnaces, and later added two small blast furnaces (each furnace has a daily iron production of about 20 tons) to smelt high-quality pig iron. In 1916, China and Japan jointly established the "Zhenxing Iron Ore Co., Ltd." in Anshan. "Anshan Iron Works" was officially opened in 1918, with two blast furnaces of 515 cubic meters. Later, four coke ovens and one blast furnace of 693 cubic meters were built. Because these companies are major holdings in Japan, 2/3 of the iron they produce is shipped to Japan. In the name of the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government, Zhang Hanqing requested that land and resources be counted as shares and obtain ownership of the remaining 1/3 of the output.
To equip a Feng-style standard army division and maintain it, nearly 10,000 tons of various steel materials are needed annually. In order to prevent life-and-death military industrial capabilities from being in the hands of the Japanese, Zhang Hanqing advocated the establishment of various steel plants outside the customs and in the areas controlled by the Fengjun in the northwest, namely Tangshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and Lanzhou Iron and Steel Plant. Among them, Lanzhou Iron and Steel Works is wholly owned by the government. It has built three new blast furnaces with a daily output of 450 tons, and relied on the abundant electricity in the northwest to build an electric furnace. This is one of the early steel-making electric furnaces in China. Tangshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. plans to attract investment in the north. The first phase of the project has an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons of iron and 50,000 tons of steel.
In addition, the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government took advantage of Hanzhiping Iron and Steel Company's financial difficulties and acquired it. Hanyeping Coal and Iron Works and Mines Company was jointly formed in 1908 by Hanyang Iron Works, Daye Iron Mine, and Pingxiang Coal Mine, and was converted into a commercial company. At that time, a new 150-ton iron mixing furnace was built, and production developed further. In 1910, the No. 3 blast furnace with a capacity of 477 cubic meters (about 250 tons of iron per day) was built. From 1909 to 1911, four 30-ton open-hearth furnaces were built. After the Revolution of 1911, a new iron plant was built in Daye Lime Kiln, with two blast furnaces (each furnace produces about 450 tons of iron per day); Hanyang Iron Plant also built No. 4 blast furnace with 477 cubic meters and No. 7 open-hearth furnace with 30 tons, and corresponding The production of Pingxiang Coal Mine and Daye Iron Mine was expanded. During World War I, steel prices soared, and Han Yeping prospered for a time. After the war, steel prices plummeted, and Han Yeping relied on loans to survive, and it declined ever since. The Northeast Iron and Steel Corporation under the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government took advantage of the situation and discussed in Shanghai the acquisition of 51% of the company's Hanyang Iron Works.
At the same time, in other places in China, only Baojin Iron Works was established in Yangquan, Shanxi, Hexinghua Iron Works was established in Shanghai, Yangzi Machinery Company established a blast furnace with a daily output of about 100 tons of iron in Chenjiaji, Wuhan, and Longyan Iron Ore Jingshan Iron Works. Steel production plant.
Under the influence of the share of the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government, by the end of 1920, the national iron output reached 710,000 tons and the steel output was 154,000 tons. The pig iron and steel output in the hands of the Feng Clan accounted for 69% and 70% of the national total respectively. %, nearly twice as much as the same period in history.
Comparing the steel production of major countries in the world in 1920: the United States 42.81 million tons, the United Kingdom 9.21 million tons, Germany 8.54 million tons, France 2.71 million tons, Japan 810,000 tons, the Soviet Union 160,000 tons, and of course China?A huge gap. This small amount of steel is not enough to fully meet military needs, not to mention that the vast Northeast also has huge needs in Xing'an, Rehe, Suiyuan, and Chahar: railways, agriculture, and industry. This number is too small. But considering that China only reached the peak of steel production in 1936: 50,000 tons in official history, this figure is already quite extraordinary.
The production of other metallurgy is not inferior either. The largest copper smelting enterprises in the country include the Northeast Metal Mining Company Shenyang Smelter. The lead and zinc mines mined in the Northeast include Jilin Tianbaoshan, Liaoning Yangjiazhangzi, Qingchengzi, and Pigou Gold Mine Bureau Director. The mine used the amalgam method to extract gold from copper sulfide and iron sulfide ores. In 1920, the gold output exceeded 10,000 taels. The Shenyang Smelting Plant, Huludao Shufou Zinc Smelting Plant, Ore Processing Agent Plant and Sujiatun Nonferrous Metal Processing Plant are also operating well.
As another important factor that reflects national strength, the modern transportation industry, the performance of the areas under the jurisdiction of the Fengxi system is even more outstanding. The orderly construction of eight railways changed the situation in Northeast China.
Since the Middle East Railway started from Harbin, Harbin has become one of the important railway hubs in Northeast China. Because of the importance of the Heilongjiang province at this time and the lack of Japanese penetration, Heilongjiang was also a top priority in the construction of the Fengxian system. Starting from Harbin, one, two, and three railway lines have been built.
The main line runs through Jiamusi to Fujin, Tongjiang, and finally to Fuyuan on the Sino-Russian border. Fuyuan is separated by a river from Khabarovsk, the largest city in the Far East of Soviet Russia. It will be an important channel for economic and trade contact with the Soviet Union until the Far East Intervention Force withdraws soon. Together with Suifenhe, the eastern end of the North Manchuria Railway, it is responsible for controlling Heilongjiang. The important task of eastern border defense;
One line extends north to Yichun, passing through Suihua and Tieli; it is an important passage connecting the back of Heilongjiang Province (Harbin is too far to the south);
? One is connected to Jilin City, Jilin Province. This road is connected to the railway line from Shenyang to Jilin via Qingyuan, Meihepin, Panshi, Yongji that was started at the same time. It will bypass the Japanese-controlled South Manchuria Line from Changchun to Shenyang. Although it is a big detour, it is owned by the Chinese government after all. It can also promote transportation links across the province and has major economic benefits.
In Jilin Province, preparations for the Ji'an-Tongliao Railway have begun, and preparations will be made to extend northward to Xilin Gol in Xing'an Province in order to extend into Mongolia after the founding of the country in the future. However, in the early stage, the eastern section of Siping connecting Liaoyuan, Meihekou to Tonghua and Ji'an will be the first priority - considering that the Japanese controlled the section from Siping to Shuangliao, the autonomous government did not want to be dominated by others in the middle section of the artery, and Financial resources also do not allow for simultaneous advancement.
The two most important railways in Northeast China are both in the northwest of Shenyang.
In Liaoning Province, a passenger and freight railway line has been started from Shenyang connecting Zhangwu, Fuxin, Chaoyang, Lingyuan, Pingquan to Chengde, connecting western Liaoning and Rehe. This is the only railway line that can avoid the busy connection inside and outside the pass. A major artery - the second channel of Jingfeng (Shen). Chengde is the provincial capital of Rehe, only more than 400 miles away from Beijing.
In the hinterland of Monan Mongolia, a lifeline is opened, starting from Chengde, connecting to Shuangliao via Chifeng and Tongliao, and then directly from Changling to Harbin. It is also the lifeline of the three eastern provinces. Its purpose is that once Liaoning is in a tight situation, Heilongjiang ministries can transport troops to Shenyang as quickly as possible without being tied up by the South Manchuria Line. Because Shenyang has opened a direct railway to Shuangliao——is it a joke? How come the young marshal's wife's natal family is not open to the train? Since Yu Aozhou became the chairman of Northeast Agricultural Bank the year before last, the two parties hit it off and financed the construction of this road.
To be honest, since China entered modern times, the best opportunity for China to catch up with foreign countries is to build railways. Cornerstones and sleepers are primitive materials that are easy to handle; rails are primary processing of resources, which are at least simpler than building machines. Of course, motorcycles are hard currency, and China does not yet have the ability to do so.
The changes in the lives of the people in Northeast China brought by the construction of the railway are astonishing. The first is the substantial increase in employment opportunities. Since there are no corresponding machines, almost 100% of the raw materials are transported manually. In this way, in the Northeast, you can see ant moving crowds busy at construction sites in cities and villages where the railway passes. Different from the "after-autumn reckoning" in agriculture, working on a construction site is settled on a daily basis, and there is rice and broth to eat in the morning and evening. This was unimaginable in the past. Therefore, looking at the people working nearby, in some remote places or places where railway lines are not accessible, it is natural that people "stand on high hills in the morning, hoping that the railway will be built to their hometowns."
In terms of highways, in accordance with the propaganda of "To get rich, pave roads first", various parts of Northeast China have spontaneously built bridges and paved roads. In 1920, densely populated counties were opened to automobiles. It was planned to open roads to towns with more than 10,000 people by the end of 1924. Let the spider-like road network of the Northeast make every small town easily accessible to the sense of self-government.
In the northwest, Lanzhou-Jiuquan, Lanzhou-Yinchuan-Baotou-Guisui highways will be built with Lanzhou as the center. These roads will be used to connect the northeast and northwest, and start to connect the northeast and northwest. The Longhai Railway extends to Gansu and Shaanxi sections for feasibility survey.

"Gold is lost in paper and glitzy dreams, and sex is exhausted and people are ruined. Time flies and regrets are needed, and generations are still sighing in the twilight." Zhang Hanqing, who is responsible for financing in Tianjin, naturally cannot avoid voluptuousness and running around in foreign markets ten miles away.
Tianjin has arisen due to water transportation since ancient times. The city was officially built on November 21, the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (December 23, 1404). It is the only city in ancient China that has an exact record of the time of city construction.
Since Tianjin was opened as a treaty port in 1860, many Western countries have established concessions in Tianjin. The number of concessions in Tianjin is the highest in China, with 9 countries. The Westernizationists also established industries in Tianjin, making Tianjin the forefront of opening up in northern China and the base of the modern Westernization Movement. It also enabled the rapid development of industry and education in Tianjin, which was the first of its kind in China.
While leading the trend, Tianjin’s industry, commerce, and financial industries have developed rapidly. The military modernization that started in Tianjin, as well as the construction of railways, telegraphs, telephones, postal services, mining, modern education, and justice, were all pioneers in China. Thanks to the strength of the Westernization movement and foreign concessions, Tianjin has become China's second largest industrial and commercial city after Shanghai and the largest financial and trade center in the north.
Due to the rapid changes in the government of the Republic of China, some officials who temporarily lost political power also settled in Tianjin. These officials and businessmen who have long monopolized the lifeblood of the northern economy have also invested capital in Tianjin, promoting its continued prosperity.
If you want to interact with prominent people, you will inevitably have to get involved in some sexy places, but Zhang Hanqing doesn't think it is a burden: you can talk about business matters as well as personal matters, so why not?
At the Santa Ana Dance Hall in Nanshi, Tianjin, under the flickering glass lights, Zhang Hanqing was intently supporting a tall and beautiful girl to dance. Because he was so close, he could easily smell the fragrance on her body, and inadvertently, he could also touch the surge on her chest.
This was a place for upper-class social interaction in Tianjin that was comparable to Paramount in Shanghai later. Naturally, everyone danced the popular social dances. "Men and women dance together, with their faces leaning on each other, their hands holding each other, and their heels spinning with the music." Coupled with fashionable cheongsams, heavy makeup, and jewels, amidst the bustling lights, it is a unique scenery of old Tianjin.
"The foreign wind opens the eyes of the country." If hugging a beautiful woman can save the country, I would rather not eat, drink or sleep, and serve the country with justice every day. Zhang Hanqing thought so.
The girl in front of him has danced twice with him, and he still can't bear to let go.
He has experience with beautiful women and has the ability to resist them. In terms of gentleness and generosity, this girl is not as good as Faqiu Fengzhi; in terms of freshness and suppleness, she is not as good as Wanqing. But on her fair face, there is a pair of slightly deep, large and clear eyes. Coupled with her tall height and devilishly hot figure, oh no, it must be a plump body, Zhang Hanqing felt a different kind of interest.
Chinese people regard thinness as beauty, and both Yu Fengzhi and Huang Wanqing are not immune to this custom. They are also born this way. Unlike this girl, she is naturally born. Among a bunch of slim girls, she makes people stand out from the crowd.
Girls should also be full of admiration for Zhang Hanqing, otherwise how could they make an appointment and make another appointment again, without even considering the several male partners next to them who are eager to try? Although she looks very mature physically, based on Zhang Hanqing's experience, she is only sixteen or seventeen years old. The reason why he looks so attractive must be the aftermath of his tall body in his reverie.
Zhang Hanqing is indeed a layman when it comes to dancing, but this does not prevent him from accompanying her to dance seriously. Although he tried to control his steps, he still stepped on her feet occasionally. Well, I am used to the vigorousness of soldiers, so this slow and gentle step is really a bit awkward. Although as the saying goes, practice makes perfect, he still stepped on her at the beginning of the third round. You must know that dancing really requires effort.
The girl chuckled, but instead of blaming her, she stamped her foot and still bravely took that step. She whispered in his ear: "Young Marshal, your dancing skills are not very good."
Zhang Hanqing gave a rare Hao Ran smile, looked at her and blurted out: "Sorui."
The girl was surprised. She tried to ask in fluent English: "Young Marshal, do you know English?"
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Generally speaking, I heard that it's not bad. Our young master Zhang has gone abroad twice and developed a polite accent.
“Of course, but it’s really rare for me to have such beautiful and fluent English skills at my young lady’s age.”
It’s not that it’s uncommon, it’s just that Zhang Hanqing is too country bumpkin. As a high-end place in this era, those who could enter were either rich or noble, and the dancers were mostly ladies, noblemen and foreigners. If you come from an aristocratic family or a traditional scholarly family, you are very concerned about the education of your children. Therefore, many talented people in the Republic of China have children who are descendants.Outstanding people, such as Qian Xuantong's son Qian Sanqiang, Jiang Baili's son-in-law Qian Xuesen, Yuan Shikai's grandson Yuan Jialiu (those who are unfamiliar should know Wu Jianxiong), Lin Juemin's niece Lin Huiyin, Liang Qichao's son Liang Sicheng
Their education method is very simple: tutors or directly sent abroad to study, so the top celebrities in the history of the Republic of China such as Southern Tang (Ying) Beilu (Xiaoman), the three Song sisters, Liang Sicheng's wife Lin Huiyin they not only Most of them are talented and can speak at least one foreign language. Even when she was young, Lu Xiaoman was hired as a part-time diplomatic translator by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs because she was proficient in English and French. Tang Ying once performed the entire "Wang Baochai" in English at the Yangtze River Grand Theater.
In a word, they are all children of aristocratic families, and they have inherited their family's good upbringing and elegant demeanor. This innate temperament is definitely not the offspring of "my father is Li Gang" with incomplete education or "Fang Xinshu's small paintings are not ancient." , This person must be from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." The kind of nouveau riche kid can imitate. To be elegant is called insufficient background.
However, although Zhang Hanqing could only be regarded as a member of the middle class of society in his previous life (those who owned houses and received loans; owned cars and domestically produced cars; and had incomes that were averaged), now he is an out-and-out political figure of the Republic of China - the country Is the status of the heir to one of the two pillars of the lineage impressive? Is direct control of military forces in China the most popular thing? His words should not be understood as ignorance, but should be understood as appreciation for the girl.
Sure enough, the girl understood it this way. She tilted her head and nodded gracefully: "Three grams of oil." Zhang Hanqing replied in English in a gentlemanly manner: "It's my pleasure." The two looked at each other under the flickering lights. , suddenly smiled knowingly.
Physical contact can shorten the distance between people. Zhang Hanqing put his arms around her waist, feeling ripples in his heart. Yu Fengzhi, who has always followed the three obediences and four virtues, is in charge of the housework in the Marshal's Mansion. She cannot leave Shenyang if the Marshal's Mansion does not move; and Huang Wanqing, because Zhang Hanqing has been living without a fixed residence in the past two years, so she just stays at home. , not only raised the children, but also helped the father - there was no introduction that she gave birth to a boy - but Feng Zhi had already given birth to three, and there was nothing to say about women giving birth to children.
“I haven’t touched a woman for two months in a row. I have been busy in the army and I can’t feel it. After meeting Miss Zhu San, especially with Yingying Yanyan around me, the hormones in her body became like finding a friend she hadn't seen for many years, and she suddenly became enthusiastic.
In line with the idea of ??balancing public and private matters, Zhang Hanqing asked the other party's family background in his words: "I was fortunate enough to dance three dances with the lady. If it is convenient, can I teach you her name? Why are you so fluent in English?" and prepared to express in a gentlemanly manner that it was getting late. , if it is inconvenient, he can send a car to give her a ride.
This can be regarded as one of the techniques for picking up girls from the previous life: if she has good English skills at a young age, her family must be good; if she has a car, she will naturally refuse appropriately. After all, it is the first time to meet girls, and girls with good family education will not be easily Get in his car, even though he is a young commander.
After all, I haven’t integrated into this circle yet, although every time he comes, everyone will stand up to welcome him as a sign of respect. These aristocratic families have more or less relationships in one way or another with figures in the DPRK. They are also in concession areas, so they are not particularly worried about his power. The Jinmen Concession has concentrated a considerable amount of wealth across the country, as well as a considerable number of talents. It is also a benchmark in the industrial and financial circles. If we break into them and let these people, money and materials play a role, it can have a considerable impact. Positive role - so many undertakings have been carried out in the Northeast, but they are just laying the foundation. The real prosperity of the country depends on these people.
He is determined to use this girl as a wedge and is ready to fight for a long time, no matter how he is rejected.
The girl smiled persistently, spread her silver teeth, and chuckled: "My name is Gu Ruiyu."
Zhang Hanqing suddenly felt that he had entered a world that made people laugh and cry. What happened? He strives to use the information asymmetry of this era to seek maximum benefits for himself. Under his guidance, Fengxi is no longer the same Fengxi as it used to be, but characters from the past life still appear in front of him in endlessly, and they are constantly changing. Good at tempting your own path. The advantage of this is that everything is under control, but the disadvantage is also obvious: I am here to change China's history, not to witness the past history.
This Gu Ruiyu was his second legal wife in history, known as the wife of the army, and she had been with him for several years. They met at the dance, and now the same scene happened again, although the reasons for entering the dance hall were different, and the time when they met was two years earlier. They met because of love and died because of love. There were joys and discords and finally due to various reasons. But fate is something that really does not depend on will.
He looked at his former and future wife quietly, feeling a sense of déjà vu and mixed emotions. His soft eyes made Gu Ruiyu's heart skip a beat: Does the Young Marshal care about me? Although the way he looks at people shows his rich emotional world, isn't this too direct? After all, we just met, and girls can be very shy.
The neon lights stopped running, all the noise stopped, the two of them only had you and me in their eyes, unaware that a pair of eyes at the door were also watching them. The moonlight shone in her clear eyes, making her look like a two-point star. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?? shows his rich emotional world, but is this too direct?

The dance music has stopped, and the glazed lamp hanging from the ceiling of the hall lights up again. When the men and women who had recovered from the afterglow of the strange neon lights were about to return to the place of conversation with light steps, they were invariably attracted by increasingly strange sounds: "Wow!"
Stopping and turning around, you will see a different kind of scenery at the gate.
A tall, young and beautiful girl stood gently at the door. She has a fair and beautiful face, with a playful smile on her small mouth, her beautiful eyes are looking forward to it, and there is an indescribable charm between her frown and smile. The key is that her dress is elegant and beautiful. She doesn't wear any makeup but her body is filled with a pure and refined temperament. Amidst all the bling in the lobby, her simplicity makes her stand out from the crowd.
Zhang Hanqing and the others also discovered her. It's like a big shot at the finale, and it's impossible not to be noticeable. When Zhang Hanqing saw who it was, he couldn't help being surprised.
The lively and cute little pepper and Yu Fengzhi's follower Yu Yifan have grown up into a beautiful young girl. Hey, I have been in Tianjin for two months. I should have gone to see her long ago. After all, I am also an elder, right? Besides, she has always been close to her: when Yifan was studying in a girls' middle school in Liaoning, she often went to the Marshal's Mansion to play with her aunt. When she was away, she even slept in the same bed with Yu Fengzhi.
But the word "elder" sounds very awkward. Yu Yifan is only three years younger than him. When she was a junior high school girl, although her innocence and slim figure could not be concealed under her school uniform, she really didn't think about it that way. First, she is still young, and he is not a lolita fan; after all, she is his niece, and he treats her as a descendant; third, he is an acquaintance whom he often sees in the Marshal's Mansion, and the rabbit doesn't even eat the grass beside its nest. , so even though Zhang Hanqing was romantic at heart, he never thought of anything else about her intimacy with him.
Unexpectedly, after not seeing her for a year, she became even more energetic.
When Yu Yifan saw Zhang Hanqing at a glance, he naturally also saw the girl "holding" in his arms. For some reason, Zhang Hanqing suddenly felt uncomfortable as if he had been shot all over his body. He retracted his hand that was in love with Gu Ruiyu's waist and unconsciously distanced himself from her. Yu Yifan winked slyly at Zhang Hanqing calmly, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"A beautiful woman brings disaster to a country and a city." Many young talents have asked: Whose girl is this? If we don't catch up, wouldn't it be a waste of money? Some people looked at the people present more closely, trying to see some clues from everyone's reactions.
This is a threat - women's intuition is very accurate, this is a talent, even though Gu Ruiyu is still young at this time. She straightened her body unconvinced, showing off her mature career line. I heard from my sister that men like the feeling of being in one hand. The little girl at the door is not much different in age from me, but in terms of maturity, I am definitely much better than her. It depends on what type of man he likes. And just now, inadvertently, she had realized how miserable the young commander in front of her was.
Perhaps in this hall, apart from the dancers, her family background is the least advantageous. The subtle influence of life and the words and deeds of her sisters have taught her how to be a woman that men like: fluent in foreign languages, making men like her knowledge; introverted Her subtle and profound temperament will make men like her; her outstanding appearance and irrepressible figure will make men instinctively like her body. For a long time when she first fell in love, she had never met a man as calm, elegant and heroic as the young marshal. His prominent family background and thunderous reputation had always made her curious, but she was definitely not as intoxicated as seeing him in person tonight.
Maybe it was the moment of heartbeat that made Gu Ruiyu feel that she should grasp the man in front of her. Even though she is only sixteen years old, even though she is still studying. Zhang Hanqing's actions made her feel that Yu Yifan was the biggest threat she had ever encountered in her life.
The guards sitting in the corner were ready to check Yu Yifan, but the conversation between Zhang Hanqing and Yu Yifan ended calmly early. Also, with Deputy Zhu Guangmu outside, how could he easily let an unknown outsider in? Although Yu Yifan is a very beautiful girl.
With a smile, Zhang Hanqing raised his arms to greet Yu Yifan. Although he was so outstanding in the crowd, and Yu Yifan had already seen him, his action seemed redundant. There's no way, this little girl has always been outspoken and straightforward, so it's better not to let her think too much about some things. Think more? Why? Well, she might mention this to her aunt in the future. Even though she has done nothing, she still needs Yu Feng to believe her!
He never thought of examining himself: why Yu Fengzhi didn’t believe it. He couldn't tell whether red peony, wife, "company commander", Huang Ruqing, or Wanqing would be followed by a period or an ellipsis.
Feeling guilty? Yes, guilty.
Yu Yifan has black hair like lacquer and skin like jade. Her light body looks even more graceful under the light. Everyone in the hall, including Zhang Hanqing, felt like a spring breeze blowing on their faces. She walked towards Zhang Hanqing, so calm and calm, no less than a lady who had been trained since childhood - forgetting that she was a lady herself!
What language can be used to describe it? Beautiful but not seductive, gorgeous but not vulgar, just like a budding peony flower (well, don’t use this word, it will remind you of the red peony, the woman who has satisfied him for nearly a year, how are you doing now?). The beauty of her natural skin suddenly made him feel that the heavy makeup on the faces of many pretty girls in the hall was like frost on donkey dung eggs!
With a casual question, Zhang Hanqing pretended to be surprised and shouted: "Yifan! Aren't you studying?!" Yu Yifan should be studying at Beiyang University. Oh, no, it should be called Tianjin University. It’s important to have a head start. Maybe I have something, but you also have to have something. Everyone has the handle, and many things don’t exist.
Yu Yifan smiled and said: "What's the matter, uncle, are you bothering me?" She has changed a lot, maybe it is what people call the "eighteen changes of a woman", and she is no longer the casual and harmonious girl she used to be. She didn't hold back her words, but she had a slight smile on her face, revealing two small dimples, which made people want to kiss her face again and again.
This title of "little uncle" has not changed since the first time Yu Fengzhi brought her to meet him, even though his mother-in-law and wife had mentioned her several times. Over time, I got used to it, and Zhang Hanqing didn't think there was anything wrong.
In response to her rhetorical question, Zhang Hanqing had no choice but to smile and say: "How could it be? Just kidding. We haven't seen each other for more than a year, and it's too late for me to see you happy."
Gu Ruiyu secretly sighed. They are the young marshal's nephews. OK, the alarm has been lifted. She also greeted her naturally: "I didn't expect the young marshal's niece to be so beautiful. She's so cute."
Yu Yifan replied with a smile: "Sister is also very beautiful." He also stared at Gu Ruiyu and looked up and down, and suddenly burst out laughing. Her smile didn't matter, but it made Gu Ruiyu laugh: "Is there something wrong with your clothes?" He quickly glanced around a few times and felt that it was fine, then subconsciously touched his face: "Don't worry, the makeup on your face is too thick. , accidentally messed up?"
However, Zhang Hanqing knew that Yu Yifan was a weird spirit, and there must be another demon moth. As expected, Yu Yifan leaned into his ear and whispered: "Little uncle, don't you like Sister Wanqing's petiteness very much? Why did you go to the northwest and start to like the tough type?"
Zhang Hanqing is so sweaty. Only the eccentric Yu Yifan can say this. Gu Ruiyu was beside her, and it was difficult to talk to her. She could only say seriously: "It's nonsense, just for a dance. Children who are ignorant should not talk nonsense." These words cannot reach Yu Fengzhi's ears, if If it really comes true, forget it. I'm just afraid that if the weasel doesn't catch it, it will be a big loss if it makes you feel embarrassed.
Yu Yifan smiled sweetly and said, "Little uncle, don't be afraid, I won't tell your aunt."
That’s good, you understand something. However, Zhang Hanqing still confidently denied it and said: "What's this? It's just a dance. Who would care about this when they are bored?"
Yu Yifan blinked and said, "Then I'll tell my aunt."
Zhang Hanqing was speechless. If it's really nothing, forget it. The key is that he still wants to develop something with Gu Ruiyu. Since there has been a wife in history, and she looks very satisfactory, in terms of the relationship between men and women, it seems that it is not bad to follow the development of history.
The two of them chatted quietly, and Gu Ruiyu said softly: "If we have something to say, let's go to the sidelines and say it. Everyone is watching you."
Sure enough, three people stood in the center of the stage, handsome men and beautiful women, so unattractive. The key is that there is a young marshal here. This handsome and powerful man is here, and it won't be possible if he doesn't become the center of attention. All the people in the hall were watching them talking quietly, for fear of interrupting the elegance between them.
With beauties on both sides, Zhang Hanqing found a man’s vanity. "Awake to hold the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman", what a noble state this is! What a pleasant life this is! If Yu Yifan didn't have a relationship with Yu Fengzhi, what else could he ask for?
Yu Yifan chattered around Zhang Hanqing like a lark, telling her stories about her time at Tianjin University, and how she heard that Zhang Hanqing went to the Fengjun Guanwai General Headquarters after Tianjin and asked "Grandpa" Sun Liechen to send someone to take her here. What happened made Gu Ruiyu almost unable to interrupt. Her family situation is different from that of Yu Yifan, and Yu Yifan's lightness and refinement make her feel inferior. But Yu Yifan hasn't seen Zhang Hanqing for more than a year. Their relationship has always been very good. Now that she has been studying business for half a year, she has too much to talk about. But she looks very cute, and no matter what she does to others, it would not be rude.
Zhang Hanqing was also speechless: Miss, you don’t even know where this place is. My brother (oh no, it’s my uncle) has limited time, so how can I have time to chat with you about home affairs? Is this as interesting as romance? He looked helplessly at Gu Ruiyu, who smiled in return. A good opportunity to pick up girls was ruined by Yu Yifan! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Sister, don’t even look at where this place is. My brother (oh no, it’s my uncle) has limited time, so how can he find the time to talk to you about daily life? Is this as interesting as romance? He looked helplessly at Gu Ruiyu, who smiled in return. A good opportunity to pick up girls was ruined by Yu Yifan! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 431 Tianjin Comprador

However, Zhang Hanqing still had the opportunity to explain to Gu Ruiyu his plan to invest and finance in Tianjin, and he needed someone to introduce him to the industrialists and leading figures in finance here. Although Gu Ruiyu's family is not very wealthy, she is a frequent visitor here and has many best friends whose families are well-known in Tianjin. She may be able to build a bridge.
"But Zhang Hanqing didn't bet on her. On the contrary, she was a treasure in her own right. He deliberately talked about such high-level things in front of Yu Yifan, just to show her: "Uncle, I am still very dedicated. What you see are sacrifices." When he asked about Gu Ruiyu, he was just looking for opportunities and opportunities in the future. She contacted me as a foreshadowing - I was on official business.
Unexpectedly, Gu Ruiyu's eyes turned and she really surprised him: "Young Marshal wants to raise money in Tianjin. Of course he has to find rich people. Why not try the Liang family, the largest wealthy businessman in Tianjin?" Yu Yifan saw When it came to official matters, she was not to be outdone: "Miss Ninth of the Liang family and I are classmates. If my uncle is interested, I can introduce her to her father through her."
Zhang Hanqing slapped his head: "Ahem, why did I forget him?"
The Liang family mentioned by several people was the family of Liang Yanqing, the so-called "richest man in Tianjin" at that time. This comprador, who was born in Foshan, Guangdong, has a shrewdness that is rare among ordinary people. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, he served as the chief comprador of the Tianjin branch of the British merchant Jardine Matheson and Co., and also as the chief comprador of the British merchant Gaolin and Matheson. Together with Wang Minghuai of Tai Lai Matheson, Zheng Yizhi of Taikoo Matheson, and Wu Tiaoqing of HSBC Bank, he was collectively known as The four major compradors in Tianjin at the end of the Qing Dynasty ranked first among all the compradors in Tianjin because of their huge assets. They were the richest families in Tianjin until the liberation in official history.
Industrial bonds in Tianjin were sold out. This was because several political pillars of the Republic of China were endorsing it, and investors were generally optimistic about the prospects of projects such as the Dodge Automobile Plant. Therefore, taking advantage of this trend, Zhang Xueliang sold Northeastern bonds with the intention of attracting gold. Although the strong restraint for several consecutive years successfully enabled the Fengcun to obtain the first pot of gold for economic development, the economy of this corner of Northeast China After all, the foundation is limited. If you want to make a great leap forward in absorbing funds, the Beijing and Tianjin areas are the fastest.
But investing money in the Northeast is completely different. Moreover, after the first round of financing, the more interested capitalists have already spent a lot of money. Some are skeptical about the bonds, and some are really unable to do so. At this time, a larger financial owner needs to take over.
Liang Yanqing is pretty good
Not only because he is rich, Zhang Hanqing will not do that thing of killing the goose to obtain the eggs. This Liang Yanqing is a capable person: he is responsible for coastal shipping in India and China in a foreign company. The ports of navigation start from Calcutta, India, including Singapore and Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Wuzhou, Shantou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Shanghai, Qingdao, and Yantai. , Weihaiwei, Tianjin, and almost the entire coastline of China are enclosed within it. Liang Yanqing manages the operation, pick-up, cargo storage and delivery of these routes
In a word, he is a leading figure in shipping.
Zhang Hanqing has long wanted to build a marine transportation company to help him meet the demand for exporting the rich products in Northeast China. Because Northeast China invests heavily in agriculture, its returns are also huge. Its land is already fertile, and with good seeds and fertilizers, the yield per mu has grown at an alarming rate. At this rate of progress, production will double only in recent years.
In addition, the proportion of mechanization has begun to increase, creating opportunities for larger-scale land reclamation, so its output is also increasing.
But, I can’t sell it…
The situation in the Far East is in chaos, and the original Heilongjiang sea channel has become unstable; Yingkou and Huludao in the Bohai Bay are good ports, but unfortunately they are both shipping companies run by Japanese; the Tumen River Estuary is a rare treasure, but the original The tonnage of the ships was too small, the trading volume was limited, and there was a lack of experience in maritime trade.
If Liang Yanqing is brought under Feng Xi’s command, this problem will be easily solved. If possible, he would fully support the formation of a large-scale shipping company. In this way, it not only promotes logistics, but also brings a huge leap to the development of the country.
Ratzel, the founder of geopolitics, said: "Only the ocean can create a true world power. The step of crossing the ocean is a major event in the history of any nation." China's loss of sea power due to seclusion led to backwardness. Later generations have also become stronger because of openness. Ocean transportation is the most convenient and important tool to access all continents in the world, and it is also a road to wealth.
Zhang Hanqing wants to build a "***" in the new era.
So he immediately became excited and asked Yu Yifan: "Are you familiar with Miss Liang?"
Yu Yifan was very happy to see that her little uncle was so interested in her casual words. She tried her best to look like she was responsible and said: "Of course we are familiar - I talk to her about everything, her familyI know everything there. "
"It's really unintentional. I didn't expect that Yu Yifan would be of some use now. After all, it's the National People's Congress." Thinking too much, he couldn't help but glance at Yu Yifan's chest. Oh, what a sin, why are you thinking about this at this time!
You can’t blame him for being a thinking animal with his lower body. It’s because Yu Yifan is too close to him, and Gu Ruiyu. The girlish fragrance exuded by the two proud women of heaven was so wonderful that he was still distracted when talking about the powerful country that fascinated him in his dreams.
This trip away from home is also too long, second only to the half-year expedition to the northwest
He tried to get himself back on track: "I want the Liang family to subscribe for Northeastern bonds, and I want him to be used by me. What do you think?"
Yu Yifan shook his head and said, "Forget it about the subscription. Miss Jiu's father is a famous miser. He has a very elegant building, but he doesn't light electric lights upstairs. He only lights oil lamps. I heard that he is afraid of catching fire if he lights the electric lights. ! His family is so wealthy, but he doesn’t have a car and is afraid of wasting gas money. Hehe, uncle, you can give him a run for his money."
Seeing that it was suddenly about him, Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but laugh and cry, and couldn't help but said: "Why is it about me? If you are short of money for school and ask your aunt to get it, what can I do if I don't agree? Otherwise, I will give it to you now. You want more, or if it’s not enough, just pay some from your grandpa first.”
Yu Yifan curled his lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "I'm not short of money" Seeing Zhang Hanqing's dumbfounded look as if he didn't understand, she felt relieved again. He really didn't understand. She leaned close to Zhang Hanqing's ear, and naturally, Zhang Hanqing turned over to cooperate. I heard Yu Yifan whisper quietly: "You can dance with her, but you don't take me with you, you are stingy!"
Zhang Hanqing could only apologize and say: "Sister-in-law, we are talking about business."
Seeing that the "blackmail" was successful, Yu Yifan said proudly: "I'm also talking about business. If you want to know more stories about the Liang family, you have to dance with me first."
There is such a good thing! The feeling in Zhang Hanqing's heart is indescribable. Yu Yifan is petite, but not short in stature, which is in sharp contrast to Gu Ruiyu's plumpness. If it weren't for Yu Fengzhi's relationship, she would definitely be Zhang Hanqing's favorite type: pure, independent, and daring to act.
It was inconvenient for him to refuse, and in fact he didn’t want to refuse. It was such a pleasant thing to have the opportunity to hug her waist with confidence and boldness! From after time travel to before time travel, he had always believed that this kind of social dance between young men and women could hardly be equated with purity.
He said apologetically to Gu Ruiyu: "I'm sorry, Miss Gu, I'll stay with Yifan first."
At this time, Gu Ruiyu could only insist on being polite. Who made the relationship between them so strong? However, with her sensitivity, there is something behind Yu Yifan's initiative that needs careful consideration.
She temporarily lost interest in continuing to dance and rejected several gentlemen who invited her. Under the blazing neon lights, her big eyes flashed, looking at her partner in a trance.
The two people in the scene were immersed in a charming atmosphere.
Yu Yifan obviously doesn't know how to dance. Not only does he always miss more than one or two beats, faster or slower, but he also steps on Zhang Hanqing's feet repeatedly. With such skills, how dare you steal the dance?
But Zhang Hanqing didn’t mean to blame her at all. It was precisely because of her clumsiness that the two of them had a chance to get closer. When the dance got messy, he held her tightly to straighten her up; when he stepped on his feet, she would shyly fall into his arms, begging not to step back, it was so enjoyable
As soon as the song came down, Zhang Hanqing’s polished leather shoes were stepped on by her small boots and there were spots of footprints. There was also a small bulge in the depths of his trouser legs, which he had to hold back so as not to have greater consequences. Yu Yifan shouted that he wanted to play another song, but he didn't dare to pester him anymore. Before the headlights came on, he quickly dragged Yu Yifan to the seat next to the dance floor.
However, he could still feel Gu Ruiyu's half-smiling face, and wondered what the girl was smiling at. After all, the light of the neon light was not bright and was still flickering. I didn't believe she could see there After the light was turned on, everything was lost.
Maybe it’s because of the heavy dancing movements, but the flush on Yu Yifan’s face still hasn’t gone away. However, this did not affect her taking the initiative to tell Zhang Hanqing what she knew about the Liang family.
"Although the old man of the Liang family is stingy, he is only willing to spend money on one thing, and that is to buy an official position for his son. Miss Liang Jiu's eldest brother Liang Laikui studied in the United States in his early years. After returning to China, the old man of the Liang family wanted him to develop his career, so I made great friends with the then Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi, and I heard that I once donated 6,000 taels of silver to help him build the Guangdong Guild Hall.
This was probably the largest donation made by the old man of the Liang family. Later, with the support of Tang Shaoyi, Liang Laikui became the deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. However, Liang Laikui was not satisfied in officialdom. Later, through Wang Zhongqin, Yuan Shikai's medical officer, he bought a lot of land in Wang's hometown, Weihui, Henan, and established a large farm. However, due to the harassment of soldiers and bandits, the operation of this farm was difficult. Liang Laikui's operation failed. Not long ago, he returned to Yihe Matheson to help the old man of the Liang family. "
This is important information. However, Yu Yifan obviously had a prejudice against Liang Yanqing. He never mentioned his name and always referred to him as "old man of the Liang family", which surprised Zhang Hanqing. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com), bought a lot of land in Wang's hometown of Weihui, Henan, and established a large farm.

Chapter 433 Dealing with Scrooges

That night, Zhang Hanqing didn't sleep well again. The beautiful figures of Gu Ruiyu and Yu Yifan flashed back and forth in his mind like a queue.
This is caused by long-term imbalance of yin and yang. For a young and healthy body like his, if he continues to live in this feasting, sooner or later he will collapse one day. So he decided that as soon as Guan Nei affairs were on track, he would return to Feng to reunite with his wife and concubines in order to properly reconcile his body.
Early the next morning, he went to visit the Liang family.
This is a western-style building located in the British Concession. The red walls are wrapped in tall green trees, making it look particularly deep. Although Zhang Hanqing and his entourage could not be escorted with guns and ammunition like outside the border, they were still given considerable courtesy and were allowed to enter in "low-key luxury" and bring several cars of guards. This is because several vested interests headed by Lamende hope to have closer relations with the Feng Clan. In addition, the Feng Clan's strength in Tianjin is also impressive.
Liang Yanqing was very strange at first when the young marshal from Liaoning came to visit, but he still opened the door wide. No matter how rich his financial resources are, he is in awe of officialdom in his bones. Maybe this is why he wants to put his eldest son into the government.
When Zhang Yiqing saw a long-bearded old man wearing a traditional Chinese black mandarin jacket and several young people coming out to greet him, his whole psychology collapsed. If he is Liang Yanqing, how old is Miss Liang Jiu? The investigation said that he was 68 years old this year, but he didn't think about it at the time. After seeing him, he muttered a little. It seemed that Miss Liang Jiu was not young, because she had two younger sisters.
Liang Yanqing was graceful and had already rushed to bow to him regardless of his seniority: "Young Marshal's visit to our house is a great honor for Liang and his family. If you have anything to do with Young Marshal, you can just announce it to Liang. How dare you do it yourself?"
Zhang Hanqing was already familiar with the routine polite words: "How dare you, Mr. Liang took the time to meet me today. Xueliang is very grateful. Fengjun is stationed in Tianjin and is disturbing the neighbors. He should have come to visit and get understanding." "
Liang Yanqing waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about? The army has strict discipline and the people of Tianjin are well protected. It is known as a mighty teacher and a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. As the commander of an army, Young Marshal Yi has made great contributions and should be respected by our generation." He pointed to a middle-aged man and two young men beside him and said, "These are Quan Zi Laikui, Lian Kui and Wen Kui."
The three of them all looked very capable. Even the youngest one was much older than Zhang Hanqing, but he became a junior dog under the introduction of his father. It felt strange. However, Zhang Hanqing has become accustomed to it. Many dignitaries can only act as grandsons in front of him. Now, asking them to treat them as nephews is already very disrespectful.
"These brothers can tell at a glance that they are the best among men. That's because the old man has taught them well." Zhang Hanqing said politely.
The two parties sat down and the servant served tea. Zhang Hanqing looked down and saw that they were just ordinary tea leaves on the market, with only a few leaf stems. Although he is not particular about this, it is surprising that this kind of living standard appears in a family like the Liang family. Old Man Liang's stingy reputation is indeed well-deserved.
He glanced secretly and saw Liang Yanqing gently lifting the lid of the tea cup, scraping off a piece of stem residue floating on it, then sipping lightly with his mouth, but biting the stem residue in his mouth. However, he didn't spit it out, but took some tea and kept chewing it in his mouth while half-squinting his eyes, as if he had endless aftertaste. Now I understand that the Liang family is not neglecting their guests, but it’s just their nature. I’m afraid that’s why I get such “higher” treatment, right?
Zhang Hanqing felt a chill, and for no reason he lost some thoughts of in-depth conversation. What’s the point of having hundreds of millions of wealth in this life? Simplicity is a virtue, and it is best to do it according to your ability. Zhang Hanqing has not lived a very good life since time travel. His father Zhang Zuolin also lives a very simple life, although the amount of money they deal with often amounts to hundreds of millions.
But not to this extent, this is beyond the scope of what most people can accept. It's fine if you act like an ascetic, but you can't ask the people around you to do the same. Not everyone has this state. Zhang Hanqing began to wonder, would this old man have any friends? How did he get his British boss to trust him so much?
But he didn’t know that Liang Yanqing had been stingy and saved money all his life and had no other special skills. He acted in a low-key manner and regarded wealth as his life; he never gambled, did not spend extravagant money, did not smoke or drink, did not prepare cars and horses; he did not do business personally, did not seek the limelight, did not win over his fellow villagers, and did not participate in public undertakings But from the standpoint of a manager of a foreign company Look, Liang Yanqing's "no special skills" has become his greatest speciality, possessing the qualities of a comprador that is most imaginable. And "To get rich, you need to be frugal in small ways" has penetrated into his bones and has become his motto for making money throughout his life.
Losing interest in continuing to be polite, Zhang Hanqing began to clarify his purpose: "Mr. Liang, Xueliang came here to talk to you.A deal. I think you also know that we have issued a large amount of Northeastern bonds in Tianjin, and we need celebrities in Tianjin to take the lead and set an example, so that people can be attracted to buy them enthusiastically. You are a leader in the investment field in the business community, so your reaction will directly affect our plans"
If even a miser like Liang Yanqing comes out to buy bonds, it will be enough to create a "star" effect. Its influence is as convincing as a bald man using his long hair to advertise hair tonic.
Liang Yanqing didn't want to interrupt him directly and said: "In investment, I have always believed that 'I can't make money without my own strength'. That is, investment should be limited to what you can see and hear, and you can't jump out of the scope or entrust others. I know nothing about this bond, and I don't know anything about it." Liang can only accept Shuai's kindness."
You know it’s not that simple to lobby him. Frankly speaking, the reason why Liang Yanqing was able to earn such a large fortune was that his steady investment played a considerable role.
According to the investigation by the Tianjin Station of the "Fengqin Bureau", the Liang family is indeed the richest person in Tianjin, bar none. The stocks and real estate owned in his name are equivalent to more than 20 million yuan! Although he is extremely wealthy, he has never done any business of his own in his life. This is different from other compradors.
The stocks he purchased were mainly concentrated in companies he was familiar with. Because he believed in the British, the stock investments were mainly British companies, such as Dagu Barge Company, Lishunde Hotel, Xiannong Company, etc.
In addition to stock investment, his biggest investment is in real estate. In addition to political reasons for the land in the British Concession in Tianjin, the British Ministry of Industry and Industry has done some work in municipal planning, building roads and ditches, and improving the land conditions in the concession, which has caused the land price in the British Concession to increase thousands of times. Liang Yanqing was an early land investor in the British Concession. When land prices rose, he sold these lands to later warlords and bureaucrats and cashed out like crazy. His real estate properties in urban Tianjin include Anding Lane on Tangshan Road and his own garden building, Fuan Lane on Jianshe Road, Baohua Lane on Yingkou Road, Yaohua Lane on Shanxi Road and all lanes of Hebei Baoxing Company, etc. Yaohuali is the largest property he rents in Tianjin, covering an area of ??30 acres and a total of 89 buildings.
The biggest difference between him and later generations of real estate speculators is that he only rents, not sells, and holds it for a long time, which is much higher.
In addition, Liang Yanqing, as a director of Xiannong Company, holds Xiannong Company shares worth nearly 2 million taels of silver. In order to encourage businessmen to buy property, the British Concession only levied a small fee when the property was improved, or expropriated a small piece of land. No taxes were levied on the natural increase in value of the land caused by environmental changes. Liang Yanqing bought land early, and grabbed a large area of ??land to expand the central area of ??the concession very early, and enjoyed the natural increase in value.
This is a prudent investor. It was precisely because of his caution that he could remain the richest man in Tianjin for decades from the Republic of China until the liberation in official history. Tianjin Industrial's bonds are good, but with its steady style, it's hard to get the urge to invest. But don't worry, Zhang Hanqing has already grasped his only shortcoming.
"It is precisely because of Mr. Liang's prudence that he has a reputation as a weather vane in the financial world. This is what we value. If Mr. Liang is willing to be the sponsor of Fengxi's bond raising, Xueliang is willing to make a deal with you. Business."
Although Liang Yanqing is old, he is still very energetic. This can be seen from the way he shakes his head like a rattle: "It is difficult for me to obey my order. This old man's fortune is not worth the risk of the Young Marshal issuing bonds. This old man is risky." I can't afford it, and I can't afford it." It is such a big deal for Fengxi to raise 500 million yuan, and as a giant in the financial world, Liang Yanqing naturally has news about it. The promoters must take responsibility. If it really fails, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as ruining everything.
Zhang Hanqing said with a confident look on his face: "Mr. Liang, please don't draw any conclusions yet. Please wait until I finish explaining the conditions."
Liang Yanqing's eldest son, the middle-aged man named Liang Laikui, quickly took over the conversation, looked at Liang Yanqing and said kindly to Zhang Hanqing: "Then please tell me, young marshal, I am all ears."
His emotional intelligence is higher than Nai's father. Whether you agree or not is a transaction, and whether you listen or not is your attitude. Although Zhang Hanqing was young, he was the head marshal of the Feng clan and had supreme authority in Tianjin. Even though his family was in the concession, he still did not dare to openly resist. Besides, doing business is about being friendly and making money. After listening to what he said, if you politely declined if it was not suitable, why bother to anger this powerful man with an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away for no reason?
This attitude is very good. Liang Yanqing is indeed an experienced man and he immediately understood what his eldest son was thinking. He immediately coughed a few times to cover up.
Zhang Hanqing said calmly: "I know that the old man is worried about his joint liability as the issuer. In fact, with the old man's shrewdness, he naturally knows the real strength of Fengxi. The bonds we issue in the Northeast are all based on industry and have the Northeast. The grain income is guaranteed by the government. In the past few years, it has been redeemed upon maturity and has never been in arrears. It has a good reputation in the hearts of the people, and now it is difficult to get a vote.
The purpose of issuing bonds in Tianjin this time is not that we are short of money, but that we want to use this massive subscription wave to arouse the enthusiasm of the Chinese people to start industries! The country is still very weak and the people are still very poor. It is our goal to use their limited money to do things that are beneficial to the country and the people, and to make the country and the people rich.
When I tell you our next investment plan, you will know that we have a lot of money! "(Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)With a good reputation, it is now hard to get a ticket.

Zhang Hanqing took out a thin piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Liang Yanqing, and opened it at will.
With Liang Yanqing’s eyesight, of course he recognized that the page he opened was a check from the British Macquarie Bank, and the number on it was five million! There was no need to touch it, he knew from his experience of being immersed in it for most of his life that it was the real deal.
Zhang Hanqing casually browsed through the tickets: 20 million from HSBC, 15 million from Citibank, 10 million from China-Japan Bank of China, 8 million from Bank of Korea, 5 million from Zhengjin Bank, Bank of Manchuria and Zhenglong. Six million each…
These were all deposits that were converted into small amounts of gold by financial experts headed by Liu Shangqing through various means, and then legitimately used. According to later generations, this money was laundered. This meager dozen alone is several times more than the total assets accumulated by the Liang family over decades.
Zhang Hanqing’s behavior completely shocked Liang Yanqing, God of Wealth! Is it possible that the family wealth in the Northeast is so rich? However, Zhang Hanqing said something casually that drove him crazy: "These are just fractions. The four major banks in the Northeast received a total of 228 million in deposits at the end of last year!"
It is true that the four largest banks in the Northeast are rich. Just last month, in order to maintain the central government's financial operations, the Ministry of Finance borrowed 70 million from the Northeast Bank and got rid of the deficit crisis. With the respect of the central government, the central government had to borrow money from the local governments. This was the first of its kind in the Republic of China. Other known examples are that the Northeast Bank of Communications fully acquired the operating rights of Tianjin Port and the Zhongxing Shipyard in Huludao, both of which were large-scale investments.
These are the key areas of concern for an insider, so Liang Yanqing knows them very well. It is said that the purpose of the Northeast Bank of Communications in purchasing these two properties is to build the largest shipping empire in northern China, so that Northeastern products can be traded with the world through shipping. For example, Zhongxing Shipyard spent 15 million yuan to purchase a 10,000-ton hydraulic press and a Demag bridge crane from Germany as soon as it injected capital, causing a sensation in the industry.
This is the rhythm of big work. Don’t Liaoning people want to build large-scale sea-going ships by themselves? However, in Zhang Hanqing's forward thinking, the superficial reason for the shipyard to purchase the hydraulic press was to forge large crankshafts for ships, steam turbine rotors, etc., but when needed, it could be easily used to manufacture thick decks for warships. This hydraulic press can forge up to 650mm thick steel plates, which is the armor thickness of the main protective part of the battleship!
Precisely for this reason, Liang Yanqing was in awe of the strength of the Feng clan, regardless of military pressure, even in terms of economic achievements alone. Therefore, he firmly believed in Zhang Hanqing's words. But what he didn't expect was that the four major banks in the Fengxing Group had an amazing ability to absorb deposits, but the amount of funds they invested was also amazing. Zhang Hanqing secretly changed the concept here!
Liang Yanqing is confused. Since he has so much cash in hand, why bother to spend a lot of money to issue bonds? He didn't know that this was a two-pronged strategy that Zhang Hanqing and others had been plotting for a long time - not only to hide the truth from the outside world and reduce the outside world's exploration of his "nouveau riche" style fortune, but also to take advantage of the trend to collect huge sums of money in Tianjin for their own use. Why bother? Not for?
Seeing that Old Man Liang had been restrained by him, Zhang Hanqing got to the point: "All the above just show that the Federation Provincial Autonomous Government is not without money. Our purpose of doing this is just to set off a burst of industry in the customs through the subscription of bonds from all walks of life. There is an upsurge in public opinion about rejuvenating the country. It should be noted that to build such a large country, it is completely insufficient to rely on a corner of the Northeast.
In fact, the Northeastern bonds are completely mortgaged by land and its output. With the prosperity of industrial output in recent years, we have been able to repay all the bonds. The reason why we still do this is to let the people in the Northeast tighten their belts and live in poverty together, in order to pay back the economic debt they have owed for decades.
Mr. Liang’s risk as one of the sponsors of this contract is extremely low. Even so, in doing business, risks and opportunities coexist. Xueliang cannot let the Liang family bear this risk in vain, and will also give up part of the benefits.
We will set up an import and export company, tentatively named "Northern Trading Corporation", with an initial registered capital of at least 100 million, which will monopolize all foreign trade under Northeast China. To be honest, I know that import and export trading is the real source of wealth for the Liang family, and it is precisely because of the Liang family’s experience and ability in this field. After its establishment, all foreign trade in the region where the department was located was handled by the company. Agricultural products such as grain, cotton, soybeans, and various non-ferrous metals are all within its business scope. "
Zhang Hanqing finally revealed his trump card: "We are going to ask Mr. Liang to send someone to serve as the chairman of this trading company."
Overseas trade has always been the strength of the Liang family. But even the well-informed Liang Yanqing was shocked by Zhang Hanqing's generosity. The great thing about this company is not the 100 million silver dollar capital - although the number is large, it does not shock Liang Yanqing. He was shocked.What matters is the determination of Feng Xi.
Monopoly, absolute monopoly!
Liang Yanqing is no stranger to this method. In fact, the Liang family has been able to rise quickly, and it can be said that they are familiar with it in this way. During World War I, Jardine Matheson purchased a large amount of strategic materials from North China, and shipped bristles, wool, cotton, soybeans, etc. to Britain. During the acquisition process of Liang Yanqing and his important assistant Chen Zhuling, the manager of the export department, the Englishman Peters, secretly instructed Liang Yanqing and Chen Zhuling on the foreign supply and demand situation and market trends, so that they could buy the goods and hoard them until foreign companies urgently needed them. When you buy it at a high price, you can sell it at the market price and earn super profits from it. Liang Yanqing instructed Chen Zhuling to take advantage of the export convenience to keep the price to the lowest when making internal purchases, and to raise the price to the highest when exporting. Buying low and selling high are their real source of wealth.
There is no doubt that the Feng Clan has strong administrative capabilities and can maintain the monopoly of these materials within the Feng Clan's territory. Liang Yanqing believed that as long as Fengxi could find a suitable buyer, Jardine Matheson would not be able to compete with it.
This world seems to be a world of buyers. The economies of many colonies and semi-colonies are controlled by monopoly buyers. But when the seller is strong enough, like the Northeast, its power is by no means something that Jardine Matheson can resist. After all, the Northeast Autonomous Government has a big business and has real money. It is absolutely no problem to leave any trading company alone and go it alone.
But it would be too naive for the young marshal to think of tying the Liang family to the chariot of the Feng clan based on this. Not getting involved in politics is the only truth behind the success of the Liang family. When it comes to business, Liang Yanqing is confident that he can handle the business with ease. But once politics is involved, the power is beyond his control. A single chairman's "virtual position" cannot impress him. Since the death of Lao Yuan, the situation in the capital has changed in several years. The people who came to power are like a revolving lantern that dazzles everyone. Who knows whether the Feng clique will be as short-lived as the Anhui clique?
He hurriedly put down the tea cup and was about to refuse, but Zhang Hanqing interrupted him firmly and said calmly: "I know this position may not be enough to tempt the old man, but Xueliang has another appointment. I want the old man to I will definitely not refuse.”
Liang Yanqing was curious, and he decided to let Zhang Hanqing continue to negotiate terms. Anyway, he made up his mind not to get into the troubled waters of the Feng Dynasty. But when Zhang Hanqing pointed at a person and said a word leisurely, there was a surge of excitement in his heart.
"I wonder if Mr. Laikui is interested in having Brother Laikui work in the government? Brother Laikui can choose from several positions, including Deputy Minister of Finance, Mayor of Beijing, Director of Tianjin Investment and Financing Commission, and President of Northeastern Bank Tianjin Branch. .”
If it were someone else, Liang Yanqing would not hesitate to raise his old and frail hands and slap the other person in the face, casually granting such a high-ranking official to someone else. Was the government run by his family? But when Zhang Hanqing spoke, he completely believed it.
Isn’t the current central government run by a clique? Except for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the heads of other ministries, including the Prime Minister, openly flirt with the Feng Clan. For example, Liang Laikui served as deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry back then, and others could not say much about him in terms of qualifications. If the Feng family supports it, there will be no problem at all.
In addition, the Tianjin Investment and Financing Commission is the agency in charge of financing and investment in Tianjin. Because it is tied to its own property, the arrangements are a family matter; the same is true for the preparation of the Northeast Bank Tianjin Branch.
If the first two positions can be regarded as Shang Eryou's transfer to an official position, then the last two positions will completely tie the Liang family and Fengxi together.
The Liang brothers were very excited: This is a good thing falling from the sky, especially Liang Laikui. As the eldest son of the Liang family, after experiencing an unsuccessful "investment" in officialdom, this matter has gradually become a laughing stock of the family. Although he is quite talented in business, he must prove his ability to his family. The Deputy Minister of Finance has much greater authority than the original Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Forestry.
Even the other two sons yearn for it. The eldest brother is in officialdom, so the Liang family's business will be handed over to the two brothers without hesitation. Their talents had been suppressed before with Big Brother around, so this was a good opportunity to prove their skills. Besides, with my eldest brother in the Ministry of Finance, I can rely on him for many business matters. Government and business have always been well connected in China.
And the eldest brother’s unsuccessful political experience has become a major worry for his father. Even though the Liang family is the richest man in Tianjin, his father, who has experienced success in life, is particularly concerned about having a few children who can have an official career. This is influenced by the traditional Chinese official-oriented sentiment.
They thought their father would definitely agree to send their eldest brother out again.
It can be imagined that the Young Marshal has offered such generous conditions. If the Liang family does not agree to it, the Feng family, which has absolute advantages in capital and administration, will definitely squeeze the Liang family in future business. As the young marshal said, we should start with overseas trade. The traditional advantages of the Liang family are not at the same level as those of the Feng family.
I don’t know what will happen in the future, at least now they are not opponents of the Feng system.
???????????? But the risk of the eldest brother being the Deputy Minister of Finance is not great. At the worst, he can just resign from his position as before. There have been so many prime ministers of the Republic of China. Didn’t everyone live a good life? It looks like a good deal to exchange a finance minister for the endorsement of bonds. The main thing is that they all know that the risk of Northeast Treasury bonds is extremely small, because it is not an airdrop, but has something real as collateral.
With his father’s sophistication, he will definitely agree(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)??Completely not on the same level as Fengxian.
I don’t know what will happen in the future, at least now they are not opponents of the Feng system.

Liang Yanqing refused.
It's just that his methods shocked his sons, and they were a kind of overwhelming relief: "How can Liang bear the young marshal's love? Starting an industry is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Liang Naturally, I support him with both hands and advocate for the subscription of new Northeastern bonds. I am willing to shoulder the responsibility! As for Quan Zi, he is not an official. If he enters rashly, he will inevitably have high ambitions and low ambitions. It is better to behave as he should."
This is completely backwards to the rhythm of the Feng system! The sons of the Liang family were suddenly surprised that their father had such a "deep understanding of righteousness", but Zhang Hanqing heard the underlying meaning. If you don't want to be a government official, you are interested in one of the Tianjin Investment and Financing Commission and Northeast Bank Tianjin Branch. After a second thought, he realized what Lao Liang was thinking.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together. If he still refused, he would have offended Feng Xian to death. With the power of the two giants Tianjin Port and Zhongxing Shipping, in the future it will definitely have a great impact on the business of the foreign companies on which Liang Yanqing made his fortune. No matter how awesome Jardine Matheson and others are, they are just private capital, and they are no match for the Feng system in terms of size.
With the ambition of the Feng clan, this huge amount of capital and the dominant political advantage will create a momentum in Tianjin of "those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish". The choice of the Liang family is directly related to The future of the family.
So Mr. Liang decided to participate to a minimum and try his best to ensure that the interests of the Liang family were not harmed. The result was——submission.
Endorsing the bond issuance of the Feng Clan seems to be economically integrated into the Feng Clan, but politically, it will never give the outside world any signals of power-for-money transactions, so that once the Feng Clan fails politically, the Liang family will be able to calmly The opportunity to retreat lies in Shangyanshang, "We have nothing to do with politics."
"The last two options of Zhang Hanqing are the best choices for him as a businessman. Appointing someone to serve as the director of the Tianjin Investment and Financing Committee can easily see through the layout of the Fengxi system in Tianjin. It can be said to be an excellent position to know the inside information.
With his position at the Tianjin Branch of Northeast Bank, he can also keep abreast of the financial trends of the Feng family at any time, so that the Liang family’s endorsement behavior is as safe as possible. After the capital reaches hundreds of millions of yuan, divesting capital and evading capital is not a matter of words. There are always omens and signs. I believe that with the shrewdness of the Liang family, this move will definitely not be hidden from him.
That is an arrangement where there are advantages and disadvantages. Mr. Liang should be called the old traitor But Zhang Hanqing is not afraid of being plotted. "People die for money and birds die for food." Discovering talented people is a reward in itself. The process of giving each other a broader stage.
And he believes that as long as the Liang family gets into the Feng family’s economic team, they will feel lucky for their choice. When these people join us, the returns will be amazing. This is truly called human resources.
So he asked cheerfully: "Thank you, old man, for your understanding of justice. I wonder which brother the old man would like to take over the Northern Trading Corporation and which brother will take office in Tianjin?"
Liang Yanqing, who was originally on guard, also rarely laughed heartily and said: "How can I not appreciate the young commander's kind words? Quanzi Laikui has been working as a comprador with Lao Chen in a foreign company for a long time. He is very familiar with overseas trade. If he After taking over the Northern Trading Corporation, I will send Zhu Ling to assist, and I will be able to handle it." After a pause, he said hesitantly: "But Marshal, do you mind if I send more people?"
Zhu Ling is Chen Zhuling, an important assistant and confidant of Liang Yanqing for a long time. But if Liang Laikui is the chairman and Chen Zhuling is the general manager, won't the young marshal worry that he will lose power over this company with assets of hundreds of millions?
Zhang Hanqing is really not worried. The large enterprises and groups controlled by several banks in the Northeast are all designed in strict accordance with the modern enterprise operating system. They all have independent financial officers and the accounting association entrusted by the bank sends personnel to conduct annual and quarterly audits. In a word, he not only gives the operator a great deal of decision-making power, but also imposes considerable restraints if the person in charge violates the rules.
He smiled and said: "Don't trust the people you employ, and don't trust the people you doubt. How can a new company start smoothly without a few capable people? If they are useful talents, Brother Liang can recommend them. The company's decision-makers have great power to employ people. Funders generally don't ask questions. Besides, Xueliang can rest assured about the character of Mr. Liang and several brothers, otherwise he wouldn't dare to hand over such a huge property!"
After confirming that there were no business constraints, Liang Yanqing was completely relieved, but he also began to sincerely admire the Feng system represented by the young marshal: they have great courage and can do great things. In a blink of an eye, an investment of hundreds of millions was finalized.
This is not a small amount. In addition to the huge amount, there is also industry support at the government level. The power of foreign trade in Northeast China and Guanzhong is enough to defend any trading company.Whether it is state-owned or foreign-owned.
The eyes of others are facing each other. Therefore, he took the initiative to serve as the director of Tianjin Investment and Financing Committee. Now that the Liang family has begun to have a relationship with the Feng clan, no matter what the outcome is, he can no longer hold the comprador position of Jardine Matheson concurrently. Besides, he is already old, and it is time to let his children take charge. The third son Wenkui was very favored by Yihe Matheson.
"Although I am not very talented, I still have a weak reputation in Tianjin's industrial and commercial circles. As a director, I can still provide some service. If I am not capable, I can still cope with it because I am too old and my reputation in the business community will not be ruined for decades. Haha. "
This is the best result. At present, the Investment and Financing Committee is mainly focused on financing rather than investment. Even financing is not its main task. Its biggest role is to revive ancient Tianjin and inject a boost into the economic development of the north.
Since the birth of China, its political and economic center has always been in the north. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the economic center began to move southward. By the Tang and Song Dynasties, the southern economy had completely surpassed the northern one. From then on, China entered a dual era of politics and economy: the south developed the economy, the north focused on politics, and the southern economy supported northern politics. This pattern Nothing has changed, until now.
This pattern is not ideal. Among the troika of China's economic zones in later generations, South China is vigorously led by Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and East China, with Shanghai as the core and relying on several large urban agglomerations along the Yangtze River, has also achieved good results. However, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei economic zone with Beijing as the center is What happened at the expense of Hebei was the abnormal development of "thousands of favors on one body" and "six palaces of pink and white have no color".
As a municipality directly under the Central Government, Tianjin's economic development capability is not as good as that of Suzhou, a second-tier city. Even Chongqing, which is located in the inland, has much potential. The reason for this result is that Beijing, as the capital, assumes too many economic functions. , for this large and comprehensive city, even the surrounding cities did not enjoy the radiation benefits it brought, and even the water was not available.
This is very unreasonable.
Tianjin has been an important town in the north since ancient times. It was an important town on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It was also an important commercial port in the north after the Westernization Movement. It has unique geographical conditions. After entering the Republic of China, countless dignitaries and dignitaries settled in the concession here. The huge wealth they brought made this place once the financial center of China. Even its industrial capacity is no less than that of Shanghai, and it is a few blocks ahead of Wuhan, which ranks third.
Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang's financial sources are Cantonese businessmen and Shanghai Banking Group, and the direct economic pillars are the three towns of Wuhan. If the Fengtian clique wants to have an overwhelming economic advantage, in addition to the Northeast as a resource base and heavy industry base, this place is also critical. . Therefore, Zhang Hanqing's first step in revitalizing the Fengcian faction was to build Tianjin into a new economic growth point that was not inferior to Northeast China in terms of industrial strength.
Capital has been put in place one after another. It depends on whether the talents can be used by me. This is also the direction of judgment whether Fengxi can gain a foothold outside the customs. Now several heavyweights have joined in, making Zhang Hanqing very proud.
No one knows how much pressure his simple sentence of "establishing a foothold in Guan Nei" will bear within the Feng Clan, because in the prosperous situation, the top brass within the Feng Clique tend to gain a foothold in Guan Nei. Zhang Hanqing's large investments in Tianjin and Qinhuangdao are very unsafe for them. What if the political winds change and the military fails? Doesn’t all that hard investment come cheap to others!
To be honest, their worries are very reasonable. In official history, the Fengtian clique suffered a defeat in the first Zhili-Fengtian war and fled back outside the customs. Now, although the Fengcheng system is different from the present in official history, there are only three divisions stationed outside the pass, and they still have to look at such a large territory.
But Zhang Hanqing is not afraid. He was also worried about being a wedding dress for others, but he believed more in the principle of defeating others without fighting. As long as the person in charge of the Zhili clique is not dizzy, he will not fail to see the strength of the Fengcian clique: the great industrial and economic development of the Northeast has made the Feng army one of the best armed forces in the country; all the military and political power in the Northeast is concentrated in Zhang In the hands of his father and son, neither the central government nor outsiders can get involved. This is completely different from the state of unity and separation within other factions. Once the northern region of Guan Nei develops, it will be a help rather than a burden for the Feng faction. He foresees that in the next one or two years The large-scale expansion of Fengjun within this year is inevitable. At this rate of development, the Fengjun in Guan alone is enough to be a direct and powerful enemy. As long as the Feng Clan makes no big mistakes, like the hasty war launched in official history and the subsequent total defeat caused by strategic mistakes, the balance of victory will definitely tilt towards the Feng Clan.
In addition, the Northwest People's Army he planned is about to make big moves in the northwest, which will effectively interfere with the Zhili clique's judgment, and will also greatly reduce the number of Zhili clique's troops stationed in Gyeonggi, thus reducing the frontal threat to Fengjun. Moreover, Fengjun's strong enemy Wu Peifu has just started training. It can be seen that his speed will not be faster than the growth rate of the People's Army and Fengjun, just because of his poverty
So he can rest assured to make big moves in the pass.
This is also the factor that touches Liang Yanqing’s last worry: ambition. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Just because he is poor

Chapter 438 Dinner Party
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The Chinese dinner party is always an excellent time to talk about work. Fan, from the beginning; Game, originally a chess term, extended to the meaning of "situation, situation", and later extended to the meaning of "gamble, party, trap". The combination of "rice" and "bureau" is a major contribution made by literati in the Song Dynasty to Chinese language and Chinese culture - because there are so many traps in the dinner party.
However, Zhang Hanqing’s first meal at Liang’s house was completed in a harmonious atmosphere. There should have been a lot of mingling in Chinese and Chinese because the two parties had settled the matter in advance, so there was only a clinking of glasses. Having formed a business alliance, the two parties naturally spoke cordially and casually.
Although Liang Yanqing lived a very simple life, he was not pedantic in his ideas. Since it was a family banquet, his wife and several daughters also sat around the table generously, which made Zhang Hanqing surprised. You must know that in China at this time, the view of favoring boys over girls was still a trend. Except for a few upper-class families that had accepted westernization, such as Zhu Qiqian's family, women were not on the table.
This gave Zhang Hanqing an illusion: It turns out that this old man is a supporter of gender equality. But in this case, why should such a good Qingzhu girl be betrothed to the useless nephew of the Ye family? He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it. The topic was too sensitive and it was easy for people to think about him.
Because Liang Qingzhu was sitting next to him, I don’t know whose arrangement it was. It was too abrupt, but it made him behave a lot, and he only exchanged a few greetings during the dinner. On the contrary, he was not as generous as Liang Qingzhu, and even served him dishes a few times, although it seemed more like a host's hospitality to a guest. But that's about it. Not only she, but also the sons of the Liang family just listened to the conversation between the two, an old man and a young man, without interrupting. Maybe it's a family tradition.
After three drinks, the men began to talk, which was nothing more than power and money, but the conversation was very elegant: politics and economics. As the appointed director of the Tianjin Investment and Financing Committee, Liang Yanqing naturally has to care about its organizational structure. Zhang Hanqing also said: "The committee was initiated by Mr. Liang Lao, and it is planned that Liu Shangqing, Zhu Qiqian, Xiong Xiling, and Liang Shiyi will serve as deputy directors." He also said The bottom line is: "This round of financing is just to build momentum for the future, and we don't expect much real progress. Our direction is still investment."
The 300 tons of gold transported into Shenyang have been implemented in only a handful of industrial projects: in addition to Liaoning Tractor Factory (formerly Fengtian Tractor Factory), tire factory, machine factory and Shenyang Arsenal, a small part has been invested in steel. and coal and other energy plants, a small part was invested in infrastructure transportation construction, and a small part was transferred through banks to form several large conglomerates. The vast majority of real money is still lying in the vault of Northeast Bank.
This is a considerable waste, but in the Northeast we have to let it go to waste. Because of the sudden acceleration of the Northeast's economic development, the Japanese have some suspicions. After all, this unconventional development speed is terrifying. If it continues to develop at this rate, within a few years, Japan's economic layout in Northeast China will be far behind the Feng clan.
Therefore, they sent many intelligence personnel to explore this mystery through various clues. Regarding the speed of economic development that is overtaking the curve, Zhang Hanqing believes that there is nothing shameful. Previous investments were also made through internal manipulation of several major banks, making it impossible for the Japanese to trace the source of funds.
But it is no longer possible to continue this kind of adventure in the Northeast. According to the idea of ??Zhang Zuolin and others, it is necessary to stop for a few years and wait for the wind to blow over. Anyway, the speed of economic development has given him enough confidence. .
But Zhang Hanqing didn’t want to. The reason why capital is capital lies in its liquidity. The only thing lying in the bank is cash, even if it is gold, the world's common currency. In his opinion, with the control of Ningxia, Suiyuan, Chahar and Rehe in various places in the northern part of the Great Wall, the inside and outside of the pass have been integrated. In any case, history cannot be reversed and the current territory cannot be given up. The Fengjun Army and the People's Army already have more than double the military strength and more than double the modern weapons of the official history to effectively maintain this status, and the development of Guannei is inevitable.
Therefore, he chose Tianjin, Qinhuangdao, Huludao, and Tangshan as the key places to "spend money". Financing is just a cover, and the real direction lies in identifying investment points, such as automobiles, shipbuilding, and other large projects that can drastically improve industrial standards. . The positioning of both inside and outside the pass is no longer limited to primitive energy mining, but is moving towards modern manufacturing.
The more detailed the understanding, the more surprised Liang Yanqing was. According to his assessment, the current economic strength of the Feng clan is already quite large. This kind of strength is all-round and self-contained. Although he still doesn't quite understand the significance of establishing a comprehensive industrial system, he only intuitively feels that Feng Xi is a powerful candidate to control the center. Another popular Zhili, first of all, it is not economically feasible.The pill is necessary to save him from thinking too much.
"The commander-in-chief of the Guan Nei Feng Army is my sixth uncle Sun Liechen, who has the best relationship with me. His chief of staff is Guo Songling, my deputy who has just been transferred from the Northwest People's Army. My father has already acquiesced to his adaptation of the Guan Nei Feng Army. Therefore, in the Guan Nei All economic activities are under my direct management and will not be restricted by anyone." This showed him that he had absolute power within the customs and could decide many things. The reason why I say this is to pave the way for what follows.
"In order to create a good external environment for our economic development, we are already planning to make a major adjustment to the Beijing cabinet. The ministries of finance and transportation will have to change people."

This was the second time Liang Yanqing was surprised today. It was far more intense than the first time, and it also made him more concerned.
Such a big thing as changing the cabinet seemed to be an understatement in Zhang Hanqing's mouth, but Liang Yanqing believed it was true. With the strength of Fengxi, it is credible and not difficult to change agents (which is the case). He only cares about one person.
Ye Gongchuo, Chief of Transportation.
In this era, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to do anything they want to do, but there is no way. In the early days of the Republic of China when the political structure was not yet complete, collusion between government and businessmen was the norm. Didn’t all the wealthy owners in Beijing and Tianjin once hold a certain position in the central government?
Liang Yanqing started his career as a comprador, so he knew how to look at people's eyes, so he also hoped to have a certain political status so that his business could be done well and big. Zhang Hanqing was able to gain his recognition quickly because of his status as a young marshal.
This was the purpose of his efforts to get his eldest son, Liang Laikui, into the government. Not long ago, the same was true for the future son-in-law he was looking for for his daughter, Miss Jiu. Whether the Liang family enters politics in the future or continues to make achievements in the economy, forming a good relationship with the Ye family is a good move.
Ye Charlie, Ye Gongchuo’s nephew.
Now, the young marshal is going to attack the Ye family!
Liang Yanqing's heart was full of mixed emotions, and even Liang Qingzhu opened her mouth in disbelief. She looked at Zhang Hanqing, who gave her a mysterious smile.
Although Zhang Hanqing is at the age where "one can become a beauty in anger", his character is far from being limited by his youthful appearance. This decision was made after careful consideration.
Ye Gongchuo was not just the chief of transportation, but the deeper reason was that he was the leader of the transportation department and had a community of interests with Zhou Ziqi, who was the chief of finance, and Zhang Hanqing who insisted on inviting Zhu Qiqian and Liang Shiyi to come out. In the political arena of the Republic of China, Ye Gongchuo was He is a man who moves the wind and rain. To describe him as a "political roly-poly" is not wrong at all. No matter in the late Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai era or when the Anhui clique was in power, they were all highly used.
This group has strong characteristics of factional politics: it is indifferent to beliefs and pursues interests. It is an interest group between ancient cliques and modern political parties. Its influence involves internal affairs, diplomacy, finance, and financial fields, and is within the scope of its interests. , monolithic. Because its main members, especially the backbone elements, are all southerners. For example, Ye Gongchuo, Guan Genglin, a native of Guangdong, Guan Mianjun, a native of Guangxi (already classified as Guangdong in later generations), etc.
Someone once made statistics. In the Ministry of Transportation in Mali in the fifth year of the Republic of China, there were 13 people working in the Presidential Office, 31 people working in the Taxation Department, 32 people working in various taxation bureaus in Beijing, 40 people working in the Ministry of Transportation, and 8 people working in the Ministry of Transportation. There are 5 people working in the Ministry of Finance, 5 people working in the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, 3 people working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and 30 people working in other government agencies. It can be said that the company has deep roots.
The ministries of the Republic of China were of a large-ministerial system. The Ministry of Transportation included four branches: railways, shipping, postal services, and telegraph transportation, plus a Bank of Communications. Although this force is temporarily trailing behind the Feng Clan, due to its own strength, if the power of the Feng Clan is used, a new and important pole will be generated internally. This is not a blessing for the Feng Clan.
Although the Transportation Clique quickly defected to the Feng Clan after the collapse of the Duan Qirui-Wan Clique, Zhang Hanqing was still very taboo about this group as the most influential since Yuan Shikai, especially when he reused its two major leaders. .
Political leader Liang Shiyi served as the first deputy director of the Tianjin Investment and Financing Commission. Although the spiritual leader of the Transportation Department, Zhu Qiqian, slowly faded out of the group and served as the deputy director of the Planning Commission and the person in charge of Guan Nei under the leadership of the Fengcheng Department and the mayor of Qinhuangdao City, he still considered part of the group. Both of them now hold high positions of power and have a major influence on the economic layout of Feng Clan in Guan.
After the Zhang family separated military and political affairs again and again, they have successfully suppressed the influence of high-ranking military officials in politics, allowing Wang Yongjiang, Liu Shangqing and other civilized factions to take root and form a force in the high-ranking officials of the Fengcian faction. This is Zhang Hanqing has been diligently pursuing the practice of governing the country with culture, which is one of the signs of moving towards a modern country.
????????????????????? However, the increased power of the Transportation Department will bring too many unsettling factors to his efforts. The most important thing is that the Transportation Department is only forced by the situation to move closer, not to surrender.
Therefore, the idea of ????cutting off the power base of the transportation department first politically and eliminating the transportation department from the central | was born. Elevating the status of the spiritual leader Zhu Qiqian and demoting the political leader Liang Shiyi are the accompanying steps. This is why Zhu Qiqian serves as the actual mayor of Qinhuangdao, while Liang Shiyi can only serve as deputy director of the Tianjin Investment and Financing Commission, and the official position is vacant to wait for Liang Yanqing.
It was not the Feng clique that started this process, but the Zhili clique.
Originally, the Zhili clique was dissatisfied with the Transportation Department's shift to the Fengcian clique. Due to the situation at that time,After the war with Zhiwan, the need to rest and recuperate was finally compromised. After the war, Cao Kun, the leader of the Zhili clique, found that he was gradually unable to effectively exercise influence on the central government. Chief of the Interior Zhang Zhitan alone cannot reverse the situation in the cabinet.
At this time, people sent by Zhang Hanqing came and reached an agreement with him: giving up the two cabinet positions he dreamed of, the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Finance, in exchange for his recognition of the Northwest People's Army's changes in Shaanxi. At this time, the Northwest People's Army, together with the Xu Lanzhou troops of the Feng Clan's original branch stationed in Shaanxi, had successfully penetrated into the south of the Wei River. All that is missing is recognition from the Zhili, because according to the original agreement, southern Shaanxi should be controlled by the Zhili.
“This is the ferocious display of the People’s Army once again after the glory of the northwest. The barren northwest can no longer accommodate the ambitions of the existing People's Army. Zhang Hanqing was very open-minded about the gains and losses of the two chiefs.
With the exception of the Northeast, Northwest, and Tianjin, Tang, and Qin within the Pass, the Fengtian Clan has temporarily been unable to reach out to other provinces in the country, and it is not interested in managing the people's livelihood and infrastructure in these places. The most critical thing is that for a central government with financial constraints, the role of these ministries is minimal, and it is far less beneficial than making a fortune. Being able to sacrifice fame and gain real status is a business that both Zhang Hanqing and Zhang Zuolin are willing to do.
But it was not the case with Cao Kun. With the fat in his mouth on one side and Shaanxi where all the heroes are vying for the throne on the other, Cao Kun hesitated. But when a wise man next to him who was dissatisfied with Wu Peifu said casually, he changed his mind: "The chaos in Shaanxi was all caused by Marshal Wu. What does Marshal do to get involved? It's better to get two chiefs as soon as possible." First thing!"
Cao Kun’s praise for his good deeds determined that the job changes of Ye and Zhou, two backbones of the transportation department, were inevitable.
In an understatement, the positions of two cabinet ministers were traded, which greatly touched Liang Yanqing. The transportation department, which once dominated the political arena, is really nothing under power politics.
Zhang Hanqing thought proudly, under such circumstances, would he still be willing to form an alliance with the Ye family through marriage? Unexpectedly, he looked at Miss Liang Jiu and received a strange look in response.
Old Man Liang also looked at the two of them unexpectedly at this time, with a strange look in his eyes. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Zhang Hanqing was well aware of Zhou Xuexi’s doubts. He said: “Of course the government will guarantee the legitimate interests of investors. Governments at all levels must go all out to satisfy the legitimate rights of investors.
In the event that legitimate rights are infringed, independent courts in various places will check and balance the government's misconduct——by the way, we have established industry associations in various industries, and the Northeast People's Party also has a United Front Department responsible for communicating with various industries. Connections between industry associations and various levels of government. The legislation, judiciary and administration of the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government are also independent and restrictive of each other.
It can be said responsibly that the officials of the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government are much better than officials in other parts of China. We are very strict in investigating and punishing the corruption and bribery of government personnel. "
He changed the subject: "As for the security issues that the outside world is worried about, banditry in the Northeast has basically disappeared in major cities. Our land reform that gave landless people free land division has disbanded and stabilized most of the bandits. We are truly determined to do this." The bandits are currently being driven to remote areas, and anti-bandit operations are continuing.
As for businessmen from other countries, we treat them equally, but we will never worship foreigners. All foreigners in the Northeast must abide by the laws of the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government, and violators will be severely punished. I just received a telegram that yesterday two Japanese ronin insulted Chinese people in Shenyang and were shot dead on the spot by our local police. It is no exaggeration to say that Fengjun has been transformed into an elite force of 300,000 people, which can completely guarantee safety. "
"In a word, the guarantee I gave Mr. Zhou was not verbal, but written into the law. We have a spirit that is well-known to Northeasterners when it comes to running a business: 'Clear property rights, clear responsibilities, separation of government and enterprises, and scientific management. ', As long as it is not illegal, the government will only protect the business operation and will not reach out to the enterprise."
Zhou Xuexi nodded and praised repeatedly: "What a person with clear property rights and separation of government and enterprise. He can come up with this genius idea. I guess, except for the young marshal, I am afraid that no one else in the world can grasp the essence of industrial management so thoroughly. If the young marshal goes into business, the old man will have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind, and all the 'Southern Zhang and Northern Zhou' will go to hell! Haha."
Seeing that his words were funny, Yang Yuting also took the opportunity to praise him: "To talk about the young marshal's novel ideas, it would take three days and three nights to explain them all. Sometimes I also wonder that we have spent half a lifetime studying a certain aspect. Only with modesty can you achieve success. But the young marshal shocked everyone as soon as he made a move. It's just that he has talent in fighting. Who said that he is a general?
"However, the international trends and strategic concepts are all well grasped, and he is proficient in politics, economics, finance, and even poetry. This makes people believe that there are geniuses in heaven. Sometimes I think that the young commander does not look like a person of our time, but rather a person who has been reincarnated from later generations. "
Damn it, he really guessed it right. But that's all. There is no such thing as time travel in this era. If there were so many time travel stories in the modern era, I'm afraid no one would doubt that this almighty young commander is a stranger.
"The world has changed, and even Yang Yuting is trying to flatter him, but I like it." Zhang Hanqing thought so. However, he was still very modest: "General Counselor Yang is right, Mr. Zhou is joking, why are you making fun of him? The Fengtian Clique has such good conditions, it is natural that it can make some achievements. It will also be reincarnated in future generations. , do you think he is a reincarnated soul boy? Or he is a monster!"
The words made everyone laugh, but Zhou Xuexi began to mutter: "Young Marshal is really knowledgeable and memorized, even the reincarnated soul boy in Tibet knows about it!"
However, he still has some questions that need Zhang Hanqing to answer: "Young Marshal, I believe in the sincerity of Fengxi to revitalize the economy, and I also appreciate your creative ideas in industrial management. I am just worried about your industrial and commercial development in Northeast China and the customs. Will the layout conflict with foreign counterparts? Especially in the Northeast, steel, coal, railways, textiles, transportation, etc. will endanger Japan's interests in the Northeast, so you will not consider their counterattacks?"
This sentence brings up the point, and it was Zhang Hanqing who came to the conclusion after planning for a long time. He said slowly: "Mr. Zhou's question is very good. This is what we have been worried about before. But after our judgment, there will not be a direct conflict with them for the time being.
There are two types of plunder by the Japanese in the Northeast, one is mineral resources and the other is agricultural resources. Others, such as building railways, basically serve these two. The main purpose of taking these resources is to transport them back to the country for use, while our agricultural products are currently mainly used for foreign trade.
In terms of mineral resources, our output has now far exceeded the total number of Japanese companies in China, and the resulting competition is meaningless to compare. Moreover, several of our major resource industries have established centralizedXi Shi tried his best to use his huge reputation in the industrial and commercial circles to devote himself to clarifying the truth to the industrial and commercial circles.
Under the introduction of Zhou Xuexi, a large number of industrialists from the Republic of China in the north gathered around the young marshal, such as Zhou Shutao, then finance committee member and representative of the north among national industrialists and businessmen, and Fan Xudong, the industrialist who founded three chemical companies in Tianjin: Yongli, Jiuda and Huanghai. Zhang Hanqing's old friend is also a pivotal figure in the industrial and commercial circles such as Zhang Zhenfang, manager and chairman of Tianjin Supervisory Bank.
In just a few days, the newly established Northeastern Bank Tianjin Branch attracted a total of more than 80 million yuan in deposits and investor reserves; in addition, various business people subscribed for a total of about 110 million yuan for the three-year Northeastern United Provincial Autonomy | Government treasury bonds, this is something Zhang Hanqing and the senior officials of the Federation Provincial Autonomous Government did not expect and could not believe.
The amount of money is secondary, the key is the attitude. Once you have made a good start, as long as you keep doing it, you will not have to worry about attracting the golden phoenix. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 442 Killed the Japanese Ronin
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
What Zhang Hanqing said about killing two Japanese ronin was indeed true, but the background was far from as simple as he described.
The cause was that Shi Laoshuan, a local merchant on Beiguan Street in Shenyang City, was attacked by Japanese rogues. During the negotiation, Shi Laoshuan was severely beaten. Similar incidents were commonplace in China during the Republic of China.
The Japanese are used to being domineering and domineering. They rely on their right to garrison troops on the South Manchuria Railway. Even in the capital of Liaoning Province and the hometown of Northeastern King Zhang Zuolin, they are still arrogant and domineering.
After hearing the news, police officers Zhang Heyuan and Yu Xiaoxing of the Beiguan Local Police Station, led by Sergeant Hu Tianxi, arrived and arrested the two ronin who were still committing crimes on the spot. During the resistance, one ronin was kicked by the angry people. He hit his head and was bleeding profusely.
After hearing the news, the Japanese garrison in Beita, Shenyang, dispatched a squadron, surrounded the Beiguan Police Station and blocked Beiguan Street, demanding four demands: release, compensation for losses, arrest of the perpetrators, and apology.
According to the "Japan-Russia Portsmouth Treaty", Japanese troops stationed outside Kanto State are only used to protect the South Manchuria Railway and are not allowed to interfere with local military and civil affairs.
In the two years since the establishment of the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government, as its strength has increased, the people's awareness of independence, equality and nationalism has gradually risen. Hu Tianxi, the chief of the Beiguan Police Station, faced the Japanese soldiers with live ammunition and reasonedly rejected the Japanese side. Unreasonable request, he said: "Local crimes must be heard by the Liaoning court, and the Japanese garrison is not allowed to interfere. During this period, the criminals will be detained at the police station in accordance with the law. This principle is stipulated by our laws and we will never retreat."
The arrogant squadron leader Miura Liangzhi didn't take Hu Tianxi seriously at all. He gave a command, and the Japanese soldiers loaded bullets all at once, and the black muzzles were pointed at Hu Tianxi. The scene was filled with murderous intent.
Hu Tianxi was not afraid. He faced the muzzle of the gun and said loudly: "This is the police station of the Northeastern United Provinces Autonomous Government. I am a police officer of the government. If you dare to fire a shot, it is a challenge to the government." , you must think clearly about the consequences!"
Squadron leader Miura Liangzhi was furious and ordered two Japanese soldiers to pick up their guns and hit Hu Tianxi on both sides. When Hu Tianxi was caught off guard, he was beaten several times and struggled not to fall to the ground. Police officers Zhang Heyuan, Yu Xiaoxing and others upstairs witnessed the Japanese murders. They were filled with grief and anger. They shouted: "Down with Japanese imperialism!" while smashing down desks and chairs from upstairs.
The Japanese soldiers showed their violence again, and a group of troops rushed directly into the building, but the door was locked from the inside by the police. The Japanese soldiers smashed the lock several times without success. Miura Yoshichi took a Japanese soldier's big gun, loaded it with bullets, shot through the lock with a "snap", and then opened the door. The police officers were outnumbered. For a while, the police station was in a mess and the police officers were scarred. The two ronin were snatched away again.
At this time, a battalion under the Liaoning Security Command, led by battalion commander Liu Duoquan, was rushing over after hearing the news. As soon as everyone approached Beiguan Street, they heard a dull gunshot and someone shouted, "The Japanese are shooting at us." Entering the police station!"
Liu Duoquan was one of the first batch of battalion-level students at the Northeast Lecture Hall, where he met Zhang Hanqing and joined the People's Party under Zhang Hanqing's leadership. He was considered the first group of followers of Zhang Hanqing's founding of New China. Infected and inspired by Zhang Hanqing, he deeply realized the fierceness and aggressive nature of the Japanese soldiers, and had a heartfelt hostility towards the Japanese Kwantung Army. Now the Japanese dare to do evil in the capital of Liaoning Province, the seat of the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government. How can we not make him indignant?
Liu Duoquan gave the order and the whole battalion moved forward in a fighting formation and surrounded the police again. In an instant, each Japanese soldier had dozens of guns aimed from front to back. All the Chinese soldiers had angry faces and said in unison: "Hand over your guns!"
A chill passed through my heart. Japanese soldiers had never encountered such a situation on Chinese territory. Miura Yoshichi said in blunt Chinese: "We are the Locust Army of the Empire of Japan stationed in Kanto. Which part are you in? Let your commander speak out."
Liu Duoquan said loudly: "I am the highest official here. You have violated our laws by attacking the police station with weapons. Now I ask you to put down your weapons immediately and accept investigation. Otherwise, you will be charged on the spot with endangering public safety." punish!"
Although according to the provisions of the Treaty of Putzmouth, the Japanese are not allowed to carry guns in the Chinese-administered area of ??Shenyang City, this time it is obvious that the Japanese took the lead unreasonably, but what else? The Japanese have done many bigger and more unreasonable things than this. In the end, they were not punished by the Chinese government. It is best if nothing happens. If something happens, they will eventually protest.
The two sides were at war with each other. Miura hesitated for a moment, but the two Japanese ronin became very arrogant. They have done far worse things than this. No Chinese place has ever dared to enforce Chinese laws against them. A ronin rushed in front of Fengjun soldier Pan Xiaogui and reached out to grab the gun tip.
Pan Xiaogui was furious and kicked Ronin in the abdomen, causing him to lie on the ground like a dead dog. Another ronin came to help and took the opportunity to hug Pan Xiaogui from the side. The soldier next to him saw that the Japanese ronin was still so stubborn under the gun. He couldn't help but get angry. He turned the muzzle of the gun and shot the ronin in the temple. Immediately his brain burst into pieces, and he could no longer survive.
The sound of a gunshot alerted Pan Xiaogui. Long-term training has made him very flexible. He can press the gun, hold it tightly, aim, and launch it in one go, beating the Ronin lying on the ground into a real dead dog.
After doing it with real swords and guns, the Japanese soldier finally had a nervous breakdown. Without firing a single shot, the entire squadron was disarmed.
Liu Duoquan did not dare to neglect and immediately reported to the Northeast Road Protection Army Headquarters. Xing Shilian, the commander of the 4th Division on duty, was shocked when he heard the news. The disarming incident was already serious, not to mention the fact that there were two dead people. If it is not done well, it will cause big trouble. He did not dare to make a decision and directly reported it to Zhang Zuolin personally.
Zhang Zuolin slapped his thigh, and Xing Shilian trembled. He has followed the commander for a long time and is familiar with almost every move of the commander. Generally, a commander slapping his thigh indicates extreme anger or bliss. But the commander-in-chief may not be happy about this kind of thing today.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zuolin said angrily: "You idiot has bullied me again! Good fight." He instructed Xing Shilian: "Be sure to pay attention to the movements of the Japanese and order the main force of the 4th Division to immediately move to the camp entrance and all officers and soldiers to enter." State of combat readiness." While holding an emergency high-level meeting of the Fengjun Army to discuss the development of the situation, he also telegraphed to Zhang Hanqing's headquarters as a warning.
? Major General Hamazura Matasuke, Chief of Staff of the Japanese Kwantung Army, is a top student who graduated from the fourth phase of the Japanese Mainland University. His military style is cautious and prudent. While he was thinking about the violent counterattack plan of Kenji Doihara, the 1st Section Chief of the Senior Staff Department, he convened the Intelligence Director, Rear Area Director, Policy Director, and Sections 2, 3, and 4 of the Kwantung Army Staff Section to discuss countermeasures.
When he learned that Fengjun had entered the first level of alert and that Fengjun's brave general Jiang Dengxuan was personally leading the main force of the 27th Division to reinforce the army camp at night, he wisely gave up the idea of ??fighting. With the Kwantung Army's strength of only 40,000 men, it is difficult to imagine that it could frighten or defeat Zhang Zuolin, the king of the Northeast who has been licking blood among swords for many years and has elite soldiers and generals.
At this time, although Japan failed to inherit Germany's privileges in Shandong, China, at the Paris Peace Conference, it was negotiating with Britain and the United States and other countries to limit naval armaments, and was preparing to reduce some terms in exchange for interests in the Pacific and Far East issues. If this battle failed and the country's foundation was shaken, Hamazura Matasuke would have no choice but to have a disembowelment to express his gratitude to the emperor.
But how to deal with a Japanese squadron that is still being detained is a very thorny problem. The Japanese still have great prestige. The Fengjun can kill the ronin, but it will never cause any harm to the Japanese active soldiers. There should still be some "consciousness" about this.
However, after this battle, the Japanese garrison on the South Manchuria Railway suffered a huge loss of face, and they had to spend a lot of time trying to comfort the radical young officers. Thinking of this, Hamazura Matasuke couldn't help but curse the incompetent military senior advisers at the General Staff Headquarters. When he took over the Kwantung Army Staff Headquarters, he told him quite proudly that Zhang Zuolin was an agent that Japan had worked hard to cultivate. You can rest assured.
When Zhang Zuolin was still the commander of the 27th Division stationed in Liaoning, the senior officials of the Kwantung Army were optimistic about him and supported him to fight against the penetration of British and American forces in the Northeast so that Japan could profit from it. But I didn't expect that after Zhang Zuolin's strength expanded, he would always be neither negative nor positive towards the Japanese, and gradually became a force that could not be defeated. However, the Japanese side was helpless about this. At present, no one in the Fengjun and political circles can shake Zhang's status, and raising another agent is nothing more than wishful thinking.
The staff discussed for a long time, and Doihara Kenji came up with an idea. He was worthy of being called a "Chinese spirit" and was familiar with Chinese politics. According to later generations, he was said to be able to think like a Chinese.
He offered advice and said: "Your Excellency, General, the current Zhangbu (Fengjun, as the Japanese call it) is fighting overtly and covertly with the Beijing government. The direct area is vast and has many soldiers, but it has been able to tolerate Fengjun's rise because of the lack of weapons and ammunition. , cannot engage in a large-scale war with Fengjun. If the Kwantung Army can sell arms to them at this time, on the one hand, it will inevitably weaken the strength of Fengjun, and on the other hand, it may increase the chance of the Zhili faction turning against them. If the two sides fight, It will definitely be a big fight, and for us, we can achieve our goal without a fight."
Hamazura Matasuke was very appreciative. As mentioned, Fengjun had its own arsenal in Shenyang and had its own system. It became the only army in China at that time that had the ability to independently produce artillery and artillery shells. Recently, according to intelligence, the Shenyang Arsenal has purchased a large amount of machinery and equipment, and I don’t know where they got the confidence to do so. They are worth no less than 10 million yuan, doubling the previous size.
??And direct purchases need to be made from the United Kingdom and the United States, and once you go back and forth, you will see the difference immediately. If Fengjun is allowed to develop, within a few years, its strength will definitely be beyond the control of the empire. This is a legacy of raising tigers.
He smiled and said: "What Colonel Doihara said is true. On behalf of the Kwantung Army, you can contact the directly related personnel to implement this plan immediately." Kenji Doihara is an expert among spies, and what happens next is not the same. He needed to pay attention anymore.
“Subsequently, under the negotiation of the Kwantung Army Staff Headquarters, Fengjun released the detained Japanese officers and soldiers, and the incident of killing two ronin came to an end without incident. But since then, the Japanese soldiers in Shenyang have obviously restrained themselves a lot. So much so that the people in Shenyang said: "This is little Japan. If you try to be tough with them, they will be afraid of you. If you are soft and have a bad mother, you can only be their grandson!"

Because of this incident, Zhang Zuolin felt the pressure. In order to prepare for a rainy day, he asked Zhang Hanqing to return to Shenyang to discuss the plan. At this time, Zhang Hanqing had united a large number of big names in the industrial and commercial circles of Beijing and Tianjin, so he returned with peace of mind.
“He didn’t make any big fanfare, but randomly chose a train on the Beijing-Shenyang line, and even his captain Jiang Huanan didn’t know. He acted in such a low-key manner because he had already had such a high-profile impact in North China. For the sake of safety, he had to pay attention to it, especially since the Huanggutun massacre had already occurred in later generations.
I’m afraid the Japanese already hate themselves to the core, right? However, his goal since time travel is to defeat Japan's forces in China. What can he do in this life-and-death confrontation? People, it is impossible to make everyone like you.
However, his departure still caused a lot of commotion. Led by Tianjin Mayor Liu Shangqing, Liang Yanqing, Liang Shiyi, Zhou Xuexi, Xiong Xiling and other directors of the Tianjin Investment and Financing Commission rushed to the station to see him off after hearing about it. Sun Liechen also wanted to send a battalion of soldiers to escort him on the grounds of safety, but Zhang Hanqing refused on the grounds of disturbing the people.
Most of his own guards are in the Marshal's Mansion in Shenyang, and the old guard captain Tan Hai is now mainly in charge. There are only a hundred or so people who often follow him, led by Jiang Huanan. They are all selected from the army. It is not a problem to fight several of them. What is more important is that they have high political quality.
In his opinion, these security forces are enough to deal with individual assassins, but if there are a large number of assassins or even the army is used to cause trouble, hundreds of people will not be able to do anything. Therefore, safety work does not depend on the number of manpower, but on the ability to control the situation. If the perimeter is secure, a few clowns will not be able to accomplish anything.
In line with his consistent style of being close to the people, Zhang Hanqing dispersed the guards in several carriages at the front and rear. He, Jiang Huanan and several others sat on the hard seats in one carriage. This was also an opportunity to understand the sentiments of the people. Although the special trains and compartments are good, you can't hear the sounds from outside, and you can't see the suffering of the people.
I heard that a young marshal from all over the country was sitting with them, and everyone in the carriage was excited. Here, especially the passengers from the Northeast, everyone has personally experienced the tremendous changes in their hometown, from having enough food and clothing to having countless job opportunities and getting richer and richer families, so they are very interested in bringing this kind of experience to them. The Zhang father and son, who lived a happy life, were grateful and had an inexplicable affection for Zhang Hanqing. Moreover, this young marshal did not have the airs of a venerable man, and he greeted the people around him cordially, making people recognize him from the bottom of his heart.
The philosophy of ordinary people is very simple. I will follow whoever gives me a good life. It's just that this principle is simple to say but extremely difficult to implement. At least Zhang Hanqing sacrificed countless days and nights for this. And this truth is often forgotten quickly once those in power come to power!
However, the common people's fear of the powerful is deep-rooted. Although Zhang Hanqing's attitude was well received by them, no one dared to take the initiative to talk to him. China has had an official-based system for thousands of years. Want to change it all at once? Totally impossible.
Zhang Hanqing knew the national conditions, so he did not wait. He took the initiative to chat with a middle-aged man opposite: "Is this uncle going to Shenyang?" He stared at the thick calluses on this man's hands. Although he looked older, It's not too big, but the wrinkles on the face cannot cover up the vicissitudes of time. It's just a standard Chinese portrait.
The middle-aged man became excited and wanted to stand up to answer, but was gently pushed down by a young man next to him. He didn't know how to reply, so he could only say incoherently: "Yes, yes, Marshal, I want to go to Fushun."
Zhang Hanqing smiled kindly: "Fushun is great. It has the best and largest coal mine in the Northeast."
His attitude made the middle-aged man feel much calmer: "Yes, Marshal. A relative of mine works in the Fushun Coal Mine. He sent me a message asking me to work there as well. I heard that I will be supervised three times a day." They are full and they also pay a lot of wages every month, which is much better than the Kailuan Coal Mine."
Zhang Hanqing nodded and said, "Well, work hard. There are many treasures buried under the ground in Northeast China. They are the blood of our industrial development and economic development. We need you to dig them out as soon as possible to benefit the country."
The middle-aged man didn’t know what to say, so he just echoed with “Yeah”. This was an honest and friendly man. Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu when looking at him. Father from that world who is also a retired coal mine worker, how are you doing?
“Uncle, did you go to Fushun alone?” he asked.
"Yes, this is my first time traveling far away, and I don't know what it's like there. I'm thinking that after I go there and settle down, I can take my wife, children, and children over. Anyway, the harvest in the fields is not good, so??The landlords took it away. "
He said the word "I" one after another. Zhang Hanqing thought for a moment and said, "My uncle's accent sounds like he's from Shandong? Why, is life hard in Shandong?"
The middle-aged man sighed and said: "Last year there was a flood in the Yellow River, this year there is a drought, and there will be a locust plague every three to five years. There is not much we can harvest from the land, and we have to pay 70% to 80% of the tax alone. The family can only Eat half full. This is still good. The people on the other side of the mountain, let alone the humble years, are still weeds with chaff in ordinary times. Like those who encountered these two years, those who can escape will escape, and those who cannot run away They starved to death, and my cousin's family was just like that. Seeing that life was really miserable, I borrowed some money and made an appointment with some young people from the same village to see if they could find a way to survive in the Northeast."
When he said this, several fellow villagers immediately began to resonate with him. Many people in this carriage are from similar backgrounds to them. There are people from Hebei, Henan, and even Hubei, known as the "Land of Fish and Rice", who have fled. They really fulfill the saying "We are all from the same world, so why should we know each other before" Talked.
Zhang Hanqing's heart surged. The plot that he had only seen in textbooks before was now unfolding before him in real life. In the Northeast, although people feel that they are really poor and backward, considering this era, they just feel like they should do as the Romans do. Moreover, thanks to his efforts, the financial revenue, industry, agriculture and commerce of the Feng clan were restored to vitality.
After leaving the fortress, there was usually no human habitation for dozens of miles, and the living conditions of the herdsmen were already difficult. He had always been doing high-level things, so he was unable to take a closer look. Fighting in Gansu is completely a military life, which has nothing to do with people's livelihood; in Beijing and Tianjin, it is a scene of singing, dancing and extravagance.
“I didn’t expect that the people today are so miserable! Alas, when will his light shine on these places? Originally, he thought of using subtle and gradual methods to seize the power of the Fengcun in his hands before taking any action against foreigners. But now it seems that time does not wait for us. In any case, compared to those places in Guanhai, life in the Northeast is still paradise! I need to save them from hell, that's the first priority!
He is a little proud. After all, it is through his efforts that life in Northeast China has gained an attractive reputation for the first time. The industrialization of the Northeast requires a large number of laborers, so let's take today's encounter as a charge to encourage people from within the customs to immigrate outside the customs.
He nodded heavily and said: "You are right to come to the Northeast. Our Northeast has not only coal mines, but also iron mines, as well as countless rapidly expanding enterprises that require countless people to work here. You boldly let your family Come here, not only will you have a job, but your family members will also have opportunities! The factories and mines in Northeast China insist on equal pay for men and women for equal work. That means your family members, regardless of gender, will receive the same treatment as long as they enter the factory.
When it comes to remuneration, our salary in Northeast China is the highest among the same industry in the country. No matter which industry, one worker can support a family of five! If a family has more than two people working, not only can they live a good life, but they can also save money.
“Don’t worry about not having a house to live in. We have built a lot of rental houses with water, electricity and low rent. We Northeasterners do not discriminate against outsiders. The children of all migrant workers in the Northeast, regardless of their place of origin and occupation, are eligible to receive the government's five-year compulsory education and attend school nearby, because this is the responsibility and obligation of the government! "
The middle-aged man talked to him for a while, and gradually relaxed after seeing that Zhang Hanqing was very close to the people. He bravely asked: "Young Marshal, I want to ask, if I go to the Northeast and am not familiar with the place, will it be okay?" Will people bully me and delay my unpaid wages? I still have to support my family to make ends meet."
Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but laugh, but after looking at his expectant eyes, he couldn't laugh: "Unpaid wages? This is impossible in the Northeast!
All enterprises are registered with government departments, which means that the government has the responsibility to supervise them. Can't we collect taxes on the front foot and ignore their life and death on the back foot? Then our government is not the people's government, but Zhou Bapi! Oh, it's a parasite.
Our supervision is not to interfere with specific production activities, but to regulate their legal operations and the rights and interests of workers. Basically, state-owned enterprises and larger enterprises have labor unions set up by our People's Party, which will represent workers and business owners in negotiating all matters related to the interests of employees. Of course, salary is an important one.
No matter what kind of difficulties it encounters in business, it is not a reason to delay wages! If something like this happens, the trade union will help individuals sue the company. We have laws that stipulate penalties for wage arrears: for every month of delay, the worker will be compensated for one month and an additional month of salary will be fined; after three months of delay, the court will directly rule that the enterprise will cease operations and be liquidated by the bank. Here During this period, the government entrusted banks to supplement workers' wages on their behalf. The taxes paid by companies before should always be worth the wages of workers, right? Take it and use it naturally to use it for the people.
We also have a complete welfare system that covers work-related injuries and illnesses, and we are still working on retirement plans. All in all, the federal provincial autonomous government strives to take care of the birth, old age, illness and death of workers! We are the people's government, so we naturally have to serve the people.
With these guarantees, uncle, what are you still afraid of? After you get your first salary, tell your family to come to the Northeast as soon as possible. Good times are waiting for you.

Chapter 444 Heaven
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The train was speeding, and the young marshal’s words also stirred in the hearts of the passengers. People are talking about it privately and are full of longing for the future. Passengers with Northeastern nationality also proudly endorsed the young marshal's words.
"My family is from Nagala in the northeast. We originally rented 20 acres of land from the landlord, but we only got 5 dans of grain at the end of the year. The whole family couldn't survive eating bran-thick vegetables. Later, the young marshal led people to carry out land reform. Hey, What do you mean? My family was allocated thirty acres of good farmland. At the end of the year, we harvested 6,000 kilograms of grain, and only had to hand over 600 kilograms! Oh my God, my family has never received so much since my grandfather broke into Guandong. of food! In that year, our three boys had enough to eat for the first time, and they were still dry!"
People nearby all drooled when they heard this. Some people exclaimed: "I'm afraid the landowners in our area don't have so much food." Someone nearby said: "Isn't it right? When Du Dashan's family has a good harvest, it only lasts a while." Thousands of catties of millet." The implication is that he is extremely envious of this man's good life.
The Northeastern man felt proud and said happily: "I used to worry about not having enough food, but then I worried about what to do with so much food. According to my father's opinion, good days should be spent in poverty, so he stored all the food at home and waited for later. It’s a bad year to have a better time.
Who would have known that there would be another bumper harvest the next year, and there would be no room for so much food in the house? What should I do? At this time, the young marshal had a new idea, either sell the grain for money, or simply store the grain in the granary. "
Someone said: "If there is a lot of grain, it will be cheap, right? I remember that one year we had a major drought. As a result, the price of grain was greatly reduced. After selling the grain and paying taxes, it was worse than a year with a bad harvest."
The people from the Northeast shook their heads: "No, the grain is purchased by the government, and there are no profiteers to control it. The price is uniform. In the Northeast, you can buy grain with money at any time, and you don't have to worry about price fluctuations. Therefore, for our family, instead of piling it up at home to grow mold, it is better to sell it and turn it into money. At least the money can be deposited in the cooperative and there will be interest. Even if it is stored in the grain depot in exchange for food stamps, it is better than keeping it at home."
Someone is wondering again: "What is a cooperative?"
The people from the Northeast are happy to answer questions: "The cooperative is a bank in the countryside. We usually deposit our money here, which is very convenient. And if someone wants to buy machinery or start a small business, and if the money is not enough, they can use it to turn around, and the interest is very high." It’s low and very convenient—profiteers are not allowed to lend money in the Northeast!”
“Ahem, it turns out that farmers in the Northeast are living in fairy tales! Some people said enviously: "It's great to be able to farm in the Northeast. I have a lot of strength."
The Northeastern man suddenly laughed. He pointed at that person and said, "Brother, you are behind the times! You have never been to the Northeast, have you? Nowadays, many of us farm, and we don't just rely on brute force. We all use machines, and that's the one Have you heard of a tractor?" Seeing the other party shaking his head blankly, he explained: "Well, it has two big wheels that make smoke. It plows the land much faster than humans and oxen. It takes a laborer half a month and it takes a day. That’s it.”
The person who answered him was still confused and horrified.
Someone asked: "Isn't this tractor expensive?"
The Northeastern man nodded: "Of course it's very expensive. But we usually buy a tractor with several families. When we are busy, we cultivate the land. When we are free, people with connections pay some usage fees and use the tractor to do transportation business. This income, Sometimes it’s more than farming, and now some people have bought tractors specifically for transportation, which makes their lives more nourishing than farming.”
Someone said in confusion: "If you leave good land without planting, the land will become barren. It would be a pity."
The Northeastern people shook their heads: "We can't let it go wild! Since last year, our county has begun to experiment with concentrated land cultivation. Dozens, hundreds or even thousands of acres of land are connected together, and experienced crop handlers are hired to plant them in a unified manner. The small ones are called farms." , the big ones are called farms, that’s what it means anyway. They all use tractors for farming, which is cheaper and faster than scattered small households.
?? Some families without adult labor force, and some families who cannot spare their manpower, have contracted their land to some large farms in exchange for rent. In this way, they can not only get a free land rent, but also free up their hands to do other things. My neighbor Lao Zhang's family does this. Their son and daughter-in-law are all working in the city. When Lao Zhang and his wife are old and can no longer farm, they rent the land to the farm. They can earn 50 yuan a year from 25 acres of land. . "
Someone interjected: "If you don't farm, you have to do some kind of work. Is the income from working better than farming?"
The Northeastern man looked at him with a strange look, which made the monk scratch his head and even thought, "Did I say something wrong?" Another Northeastern man in the same car couldn't help but start talking: "Of course! The income from working is much better than farming!"
He made a hasty calculation like this: "One acre of land has a net income of 4 yuan a year. A normal family has 25 acres, and the annual income is 100 yuan. But a worker in the city has a monthly salary of 15 yuan, so he can always save money by being frugal. More than 10 yuan. We add one month's salary as holiday expenses at the end of the year, as well as travel expenses during the New Year. In total, if a couple works, they will earn more than 200 yuan a year, which is more than the income of a whole family farming. More than double.”
This is true. To sum up, from the beginning of the Republic of China to the twenty years before the Anti-Japanese War, because prices were calculated in silver dollars at that time, prices across the country were basically stable, and people's living conditions were even worse than modern times. There is sufficient evidence for this.
Li Dazhao, the founder of the party, was a professor at Peking University with a monthly salary of 150 yuan; Chen Duxiu was even higher, with 300 yuan. At that time, 200 yuan could buy a courtyard house in Beijing. Thinking about it, if the two were modern professors, they would definitely not work part-time to make revolution.
National treasure Master Ji Xianlin, who just graduated from Peking University and teaches middle school Chinese in Jinan, has ten classes a week and is not yet a class teacher, with a monthly salary of 160 yuan. Therefore, people study in Germany at their own expense, and they stay there for ten years. There is no way, their wages are high. Now, we teachers would not even dare to stay in Germany for ten days even if we get ten years’ salary!
If the living conditions of these people are not representative of the grassroots people, then the conditions of the following people can also be seen as average: soldiers, six and a half oceans per month; police, seven oceans per month; police chiefs, 40 oceans per month In August, female textile workers in Wuhan even earned a monthly salary of more than 30 yuan!
What is this money enough for? Let's take a look at what Chen Cunren, the author of "History of Life in the Silver Dollar Era" said.
Chen Cunren said without hesitation that when he was a trainee doctor in Shanghai, his monthly salary was only 8 yuan, but there was often a clanging sound in his bag, which made him strong and energetic, "In the first month, I ate and used it." , with 5 yuan left in his pocket."
This shows the purchasing power of silver dollars at that time, and it also shows that as long as you can work in the city, improving family life is just around the corner. However, at that time, only some big cities such as Shanghai, Wuhan, Qingdao, Tianjin, and Guangzhou had some decent factories, and ordinary cities did not have such good employment opportunities. After all, there are not many people who can enter the factory. The vast majority of people are still living in the periphery, such as laundry workers, maids, waiters, etc., who can barely manage. Luotuo Xiangzi pulls a cart in the imperial capital, and his monthly salary is only 2 yuan at most. That's Living at the bottom of society.
In the Northeast, the great development in recent years has given both urban and rural people good opportunities. As the Northeasterner said, dual-income families abound, and 400 yuan a year is the norm here. After excluding food, clothing, housing and other expenses, you can still save two or three hundred yuan, which is naturally much better than farming. In the past, this was something that would have been unthinkable, but even in most areas within the pass, this kind of happiness was abundant.
Therefore, it is natural that outside the customs can attract many people from inside the customs to work and farm. Countless opportunities and favorable conditions have led to more and more people going to the Northeast to try their luck with their families, just as the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone did in later generations when people from all over the country went to Guangdong. Anyway, we are already so poor that we will die if we don’t leave. If we go out, we might actually have a chance.
The ordinary people have to come here to provide food and clothing. For the educated people, coming to the Northeast is the place to realize their ambitions. Shenyang and Harbin have the most advanced and comprehensive heavy industries in the country, and they are willing to spend money on research and development, so people from all walks of life who are determined to serve the country have settled here.
As for the treatment, there is no need to mention it at all. Families of skilled workers, primary school teachers, medical staff, etc., can earn an annual salary of up to 600 yuan per yuan, which is a well-off standard of living; families of mid-level employees, middle school teachers, engineers, doctors, reporters, writers, lawyers, ordinary actors, etc. can earn thousands of yuan per year. annual income, fully middle class.
Since 1920, Shenyang’s industrial output has been close to that of Shanghai, Harbin is close to Tianjin, even Changchun is no less than Wuhan and Qingdao. At this rate, the three most important cities in the Northeast will lead the country by at least next year.
The respect that the people of the Feng Clan have for Marshal Zhang, including this young marshal, comes from the bottom of their hearts This is also the reason why the Feng Clan has always been united as one and become stronger and stronger. It is also the basis for Zhang Hanqing's courage to challenge all the monsters and monsters in the customs. When everyone has food to eat and work to do, there is no need to think about revolution or anything like that, and the tolerance for the government's coercive measures such as the issuance of "Fengtian coupons" and "food coupons" will be stronger. In other places within the customs, I don’t know how well the people accept the I-Tiaos. Anyway, in the Northeast, the people are slowly recognizing these I-Tiaos.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????… It turns out that what others said about the countless opportunities outside the Guan is true. It is also true that farmers outside the Guan never eat food mixed with grain. It is also true that everyone has a job as long as they want to work.
Some people remembered the song that the young marshal once sang during disaster relief in Tianjin, "There are mountains and plains full of soybeans and sorghum."
In a joyful atmosphere, the train passed through Shanhaiguan and truly entered the territory of Northeast China. Although it is just a very common geographical dividing line, in people's minds, this place has entered paradise.

Chapter 445 A Meal on the Train
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Like later generations, meals were also sold on trains during the Republic of China, but instead of lunch boxes or noodles, they were Western food!
Yes, Western food.
Don’t be surprised. In that era, trains were not for ordinary people to take. Most of them were foreigners, so all the trains were prepared were Western food. Later, as more people were able to ride on the bus, foreigners were separated from ordinary Chinese, so there was a distinction between first-class seats and stuffy cars.
On railways funded and built by foreigners, Western food is standard, and of course it is limited to first-class carriages. As for the canned carriages, we simply don’t sell them—you can’t afford to eat them if you sell them. Chinese people are more accustomed to bringing their own dry food and some water. Occasionally there are people selling food, mostly melon seeds, peanuts and other snack foods, as well as local specialty foods sold along the platform at each stop.
Zhang Hanqing was sitting in an ordinary seat, so why was there Western food? That was what the train conductor had specially arranged for when he heard that the world-famous young marshal was in his car.
This is the first time Zhang Hanqing noticed this fact. When he came to Beijing to be a prostitute a few years ago, the waiter brought him Western food. He thought it was specially provided on the train to suit his tastes - his predecessor had received a modern education, ate Western food and drank foreign wine. Later, every time I came to Tianjin or Beijing, I had a special train and a special carriage. For safety reasons, the food was prepared in advance, so I didn’t think about it.
So his surprise is inevitable.
He stopped the attentive train attendant: "I don't like Western food, so I'd better switch to Chinese food."
I really don’t understand what’s so delicious about Western food? The bloody beef and dry bread are all tasted with cheese, which is a typical example of drinking blood. It is both expensive and unpalatable, and some Chinese people still flock to it. Chinese food is famous all over the world, and it is suitable for Chinese people's stomachs. Isn't this a worship of foreigners? Anyway, since he came back from time immemorial, he has never touched the so-called Western food, no matter how much it is praised by others.
The waiter was in trouble: "Young Marshal, all our trains have Western food"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? This makes no sense! Zhang Hanqing became irritated: "Western food is eaten by foreigners, and we Chinese are not used to it. The vast majority of people traveling on the Beijing-Shenyang line are Chinese, so why don't we prepare Chinese food?"
The waiter couldn’t answer, so he could only say: “Young Marshal, ever since I started working here, we have always served Western food”
“Well, it’s better not to embarrass him any more. He doesn’t have the final say in this matter. Zhang Hanqing waved his hand calmly and said: "Take the Western food away and ask your train conductor to come over!"
The waiter seemed to have received amnesty. At this time, the train conductor waiting outside had already heard the news and trotted in. He wanted to flatter him, but accidentally slapped him on the foot, which made him very regretful. Who knew that this young marshal was different from other dignitaries?
He was careful and saluted the young marshal, and then said boldly: "I don't know why Xiao Ma offended the young marshal. I will apologize to the young marshal on his behalf."
Zhang Hanqing asked him to sit down very kindly, and the conductor twisted his waist and sat diagonally on the chair opposite Zhang Hanqing. The people next to him squeezed in, but he didn't move that much in the end.
"It's not about the waiter just now. I want to know why they don't sell Chinese food on Jingfeng Line?" Although it has been more than a year since Fengtian Province was renamed Liaoning Province, people sometimes still use to call Liaoning Fengtian, and some traditional names cannot Timely updates, for example, very few people renamed the Beijing-Fengcheng Line as the Beijing-Shenyang Line, and Shenyang City, including old Shenyang, is still called Fengtian City, etc.
So that’s what happened! The conductor breathed a sigh of relief. He said with some embarrassment: "Young Marshal, you don't know something. It's not just the Jingfeng line that serves big dishes on trains. As far as I know, on my country's railway lines, trains basically only serve big dishes."
“The big dish” is Western food. In 1924, Zhou Zuoren took a train from Beijing to Jinan. He wrote: "The food on the train is big food."
Looking at the railway dining cars of the Republic of China, most of them are Western food, such as salmon, sardines, steaks, pork chops, curry chicken rice, tomato shredded chicken rice, etc.; the drinks are also Western-style, such as whiskey, brandy, beer, soda water, lemon juice, etc. In Zhang Henshui's novel "Huping Opens to Traffic", the protagonist Hu Ping Yun encounters a beautiful woman walking alone on the train. He is very attentive to her and invites her to eat in the dining car. When I got the menu, I didn't know a word of it, which was a huge disgrace.
Zhang Hanqing was surprised, "Oh, why?"
The train conductor said: "Chinese food has so many different flavors that guests traveling from north to south often find it difficult to choose. It is relatively convenient and hygienic to prepare a large meal." He missed one thing, that is, the carriage where Zhang Hanqing was in was not qualified to eat Western food. , because he was in the third class train.
For third-class train passengers, Western and Chinese food have little relevance to them. Because of the railway regulations of the Republic of China, third-class passengers are not allowed to enter the dining car, and the food in the dining car is very expensive. Even if they can go, most of them will not be able to eat.rise. Most of the train food for third-class passengers is to bring their own dry food or buy it from vendors at various stations along the way.
Hawkers are a unique sight on the railway lines of the Republic of China. The famous writer Ke Ling wrote that whenever the train stops, "the vendors seize this short opportunity, hold up the wooden tray, raise their throats, repeatedly shout aphorisms to praise the food, and diligently sell to the passengers, so that they can feel lonely. During the journey, I want to taste a bit of the flavor of a foreign country and listen to the cries of a foreign country." In the writer's writing, hawkers have become an indispensable cultural landscape during the long journey.
There were no fences on the early railway station platforms, and vendors could freely enter the platform to sell food. Zhou Zuoren recalled taking a train in 1906: “I bought a lot of things from the train window and ate them randomly, such as a copper for a pear, a fifteen copper for a roast chicken, etc. Later, I bought rabbit meat at some station. Some classmates said that this was actually It was cat meat, so everyone felt disgusted and could no longer eat it, so they threw it out of the window." It can be seen that although it is convenient to buy food from vendors, food safety and hygiene are difficult to ensure.
But you can’t give up eating because of choking, right? Zhang Hanqing shook his head. He pointed at the people from Guandong who were eating pickles in the carriage and said, "Western food is too expensive and the poor cannot enjoy it." He then waved his knife and fork and said, "Moreover, most of the eating utensils are European and not from our country." As ordinary people are accustomed to, it will be better to have Chinese food on trains in the future."
China’s food is world-famous. There are eight major cuisines that the public is familiar with, not to mention family secrets, local snacks, and folk customs. Just eating is a part of understanding Chinese culture, how colorful it is? The movie "A Bite of China" has become popular all over the world. How could it be the turn for Western food to become famous here?
The conductor smacked his tongue and thought to himself: "I, the conductor, have no power to decide such a big matter. Isn't this making things difficult for me?" However, the Beijing-Fengcheng Line is now essentially in Fengjun's hands. As the conductor, he Naturally, I dare not refute, so I can only agree first and then talk.
Zhang Hanqing seemed to see what he was thinking, smiled slightly and said: "Of course, this matter is beyond your authority." He told Zhu Guangmu who was beside him: "Write it down and discuss it with Director Chang after I get back to you, and ask him to communicate with the Ministry of Communications." Get angry and work out a solution."
Director Chang is Chang Yinhuai, director of the Northeast Transportation Committee. He came forward to negotiate with the Ministry of Transportation, which means representing the Fengclique. With the current influence of the Feng system, this matter is simply not a problem. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 446 The Philosophy of Chopsticks
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
So not long after, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Railways specially produced a Chinese food menu and sent it to all major railway bureaus, requesting that "the preparations should be completed within one month and implemented, and must not be ignored."
Since then, Chinese food has appeared more and more in trains since the Republic of China. It is reasonably priced and delicious, and is quite popular among the public. Ba Jin, who often travels, summed it up this way: "Taking a train to find vendors to buy food is the most common thing. Taking a train, you can enjoy the flavors of various places along the way. Taste it all. This made the meal on the train in the Republic of China lively and rich, and left many people with endless aftertaste."
It’s not like in later generations, where trains sell sky-high prices for meals, forcing the smell of instant noodles to permeate the air from the front to the back of the car.
After sitting in the car for such a long time, Zhang Hanqing was also a little hungry. Although he was calm and cheerful, he still frowned and started to eat the Western food in front of him. Naturally, the way he ate Western food was the most authentic, and even the two British reporters who got into the car with him nodded their heads.
"Young Marshal, it sounds like you are very dissatisfied with Western food, but looking at your movements, they are authentic British postures. You must be immersed in this, right? Isn't this somewhat contradictory to what you said?"
The Chinese are afraid of young marshals, but foreigners may not be. British journalists travel all over the country and naturally have a good understanding of China's national conditions and rarely criticize them. The faces of foreigners were very popular not only in the early Republic of China, but also in later generations in China. I wonder if it is a blessing to the nation or a shame to the nation? Anyway, after Zhang Hanqing finished his show, they immediately seized the opportunity.
What does it mean? Zhang Hanqing thought for a moment and understood what they meant. It was obviously a comparison of Chinese food and Western food, but in fact it was to judge his political attitude. Because of the influence of the Feng Clan in the north, especially North China, the British and American governments began to pay attention to every move of the Feng Clan.
"To be honest, I ate Western food out of curiosity at first. Although I couldn't swallow it, I learned a lot of life philosophy from it. Knowing yourself and the enemy, only through comparison can I realize the long history of Chinese civilization and the wisdom of the Chinese ancestors. hehe.
Take this beef for example. China has various ways of cooking it cold, stir-fried, and boiled in soup, but all of them are eaten when it is cooked. However, when the steak in Western food is fully cooked, it tastes bad and you don’t want to eat it. Interested in medium rare, medium rare, and rare steak. This is a typical example of drinking blood. According to the theory of evolution, the discovery of fire made it possible to cook food from raw to cooked, and it was also a sign of advanced evolution. It can be seen that China has an extremely high degree of evolution.
The Chinese are very smart. They have known for a long time that eating with their hands is unhygienic and hot, so they have learned to eat with chopsticks. It’s easy even if you don’t have chopsticks. Just find two branches and make a simple tool, which is convenient and handy. Knives and forks are utensils that only became available after metallurgy matured, and metallurgy was only invented in the 15th century. Before it was widely used in daily life, Westerners actually ate with their hands. Am I right about this?
The Chinese invented chopsticks, which is in line with Chinese culture. When using chopsticks, pay attention to coordination and coordination. Only when one is moving and the other is not moving can the clamping be stable. If both of them move, or if both of them don't move, it won't be able to be clamped. This is the Chinese Yin-Yang principle, as well as the lever principle of Western mechanics. There are the concepts of Tai Chi and Yin and Yang. Tai Chi is one and Yin and Yang are two; one is two and two is one; one contains two and the two become one. This is Chinese philosophy, and Westerners don’t understand it.
Chinese people eat informally, and the dining table is the best prop to bring people closer together, so they talk and laugh happily while eating without any scruples. Westerners are different. On the surface, you sit upright, but in fact you are very wary. Why do you say that? Just look at what you are holding in your hands when you eat: a knife and fork!
So, eating Chinese food is a symbol of civilization and has nothing to do with discrimination. "
Zhu Guangmu was the first to let out a knowing laugh, and then some half-understanding Chinese passengers gradually began to understand what the young marshal was talking about. The two British reporters also understood what Zhang Hanqing meant. Not to be outdone, they shrugged and said, "Mr. Marshal, if that's the case, why do the Chinese still learn from our country and send a large number of overseas students every year?"
This is a good question, but they still have the nerve to ask it! Zhang Hanqing said without hesitation: "It's very simple. Chinese people love peace, but Westerners are aggressive, which has led to us being bullied in history. Those unequal treaties you are all enjoying are the sufferings of the Chinese people."
why? Let’s take chopsticks as an example. One of the ways Chinese people show hospitality and friendliness at the dinner table is to bring food to each other, but would you like to try it with a knife and fork? It is guaranteed to be mistaken as an aggression by the other party!
Precisely because Chinese people are hospitable and Westerners are warlike, the result is that the warlike ones defeat the hospitable ones - because we are not hostile to others and others are prepared.
No?It doesn't matter, this fact makes the Chinese people alert: if you use chopsticks carelessly, you will be at a disadvantage when fighting with knives and forks, especially when cutting some huge food. When we send overseas students, we try to master how to use knives and forks to do things that cannot be done with chopsticks.
But this does not mean that we will throw away chopsticks. On the contrary, we will learn from each other and learn from each other's strengths. For example, I can use chopsticks and knives and forks skillfully, but after learning, I only use them occasionally, and I still use chopsticks more often when eating. why? "
He asked the question to the two British people. They looked at each other in confusion. They didn’t know what Zhang Hanqing wanted to express. They could only guess: "Is it because the young marshal is more familiar with using chopsticks?"
Zhang Hanqing laughed and said: "No. Because the length of our Chinese chopsticks is seven inches and six minutes, which represents the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, to show that they are essentially different from animals!"
His innuendo was very obvious. At least even some illiterate passengers in the carriage understood his swearing skills. He simply didn’t use any curse words! Accompanied by snickering, the two British people were livid, and one of them argued: "Chopsticks are so good, but aren't there many Chinese people who are accustomed to using knives and forks? The young marshal will not deny that China is still the same Behind?"
Oh, some Chinese, oh no, some impure Chinese, have worshiped foreigners to the point of betraying their ancestors. They wish they were born in foreigners' nests, so that their children and grandchildren can smell foreign from the inside out. stop! They are not Chinese, or they are already yellow-skinned, black-hearted, and extremely bad.
"We have some people today who are envious of Westerners eating with knives and forks. They think this posture and manner are delicious. They hold the chopsticks and point at them every day, and unabashedly laugh at themselves and their compatriots for their lack of faith and what the West is like. They think This is humor, humility, and state of mind. In fact, it is ignorance, and ignorance makes you fearless!
The crux of the problem in China today is not that the Chinese people have no faith, but that they have lost the wisdom left by their ancestors and have lost their faith and confidence. In the process of comprehensive contact, exchange and collision between Chinese and Western civilizations, there are many things that people say are interfering with our judgment, so that the random flowers are gradually charming the eyes, the five minds are uncertain, and the six gods have no master. "
Not to be outdone, the British said rudely: "Chopsticks are just chopsticks. No matter how clever they are, they are not as sharp as knives and forks. You can't win by being opportunistic."
Zhang Hanqing looked sideways and said, "Oh? Really?"
"A single chopstick can easily be broken or cut by a knife and fork, but what about ten chopsticks together, or a hundred chopsticks together? Or a thousand chopsticks, or ten thousand chopsticks? There are 450 million people in China. If they all stick together, looking at Who in the world dares to say that chopsticks can’t beat a knife and fork?!”
??This grounded and resonant speech is the spiritual pillar that supports Zhang Hanqing’s stance to expel foreign aggression and revitalize China. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 447 Establishing a government office
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
When he responded again, Zhang Hanqing clearly felt the respect he received.
Once upon a time, he was just a young marshal in a complete sense attached to Zhang Zuolin. Now, he has become an out-and-out young marshal, a young commander-in-chief.
However, speaking of it, he, the governor of Gansu, may be the only governor in the history of the Republic of China who is not in office.
During his absence for half a year, the Northwest People's Army remained unmoved. Han Linchun, Wang Yizhe and others would continuously report major military and political affairs in the Northwest to the Marshal's Office. Zhang Hanqing was able to get rewards at the fastest speed and get a certain degree of analysis for all major and minor incidents, including those involving the Feng clan, which surprised Zhang Zuolin.
The Marshal’s Office played a huge role, and Lin Wei, Chen Bulei, Gao Jiyi and others made great contributions.
In addition to the Northwest People's Army being his private territory, the Fengjun in Guan Nei also tended to follow the Young Marshal's stick because of Guo Songling's arrival. In Guannei, because Jiang Deng was selected as the commander of the very important 27th Division, his influence is also increasing day by day. Anyway, within the 27th Division, some structures have begun to align with the People's Army.
The scope of authority of the Northeast Aviation Police Office is also expanding. Zhang Hanqing, citing his busy official duties, formally suggested that Shen Honglie be appointed as the commander of the Kyrgyzstan-Heilongjiang Defense Fleet. Entrusted by Zhang Hanqing, Lin Wei has been studying the principles of amphibious force construction in various countries around the world, and an experimental amphibious regiment has been formed. If nothing else goes wrong, Zhang Hanqing's reply was to comprehensively expand the army of the Aviation Police Department.
Because he was not familiar with the navy, and the Ji-Heijiang Defense Fleet only had a few broken ships, Zhang Zuolin didn't take a fancy to them. His focus was on the Army, and he was really too lazy to take care of this mess, so he placed the Aviation Police Division of the Patrol Mission under the jurisdiction of Zhang Hanqing and established a third division in the Marshal's Office.
Zhang Hanqing was very happy about this. He has already done research on whether the country's military development will be dominated by land power or sea power after the establishment of a unified country in the Northeast and even in the future. While still in college, he had already studied Mahan's theory of sea power and Douhet's theory of air power. In his opinion, starting from the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was both a wise move and a last resort to move from land to sea.
China has a long coastline, and defending the sea by land is obviously a waste of people and money. This can be seen from the fact that the late Qing Dynasty had a huge army but was repeatedly defeated by the cannons and ships of the few foreign powers. However, developing the navy cannot be accomplished overnight: the navy is a highly technical branch. On the vast sea, finding opportunities first and controlling the enemy with firepower cannot be left to chance. China's industrial capabilities and financial strength are not yet up to the task of building a powerful navy.
A battleship alone is worth 10 million silver dollars, enough to arm an army of 100,000 men. It is not easy to defeat the Japanese navy, which has been developed for decades, at sea. Not only is the current strength of the Fengjun army still far away from reunifying China, even in the northeastern base camp, the Japanese have penetrated into the heart and dare not drive them away.
"To achieve balanced development of land and sea and to have the most powerful power is currently beyond the financial and material resources of any country." From the perspective of military geography, each country has a different geographical situation. It should choose the most favorable geographical situation and strive to develop a single military service, supplemented by the other two services. For example: Germany's geographical situation was suitable for the development of land power, so it became a land power in the 20th century; Britain and Japan were island countries suitable for the development of sea power, and Britain could take advantage of it and devote itself to developing sea power. In the 17th and 18th centuries, It became a sea power hegemon in the 19th century, and its sea power strength cannot be underestimated to this day. Japan advanced land power and sea power simultaneously, but ended up being defeated in the war. This violates one of Ma's important maxims: "A country cannot develop both land and sea power at the same time."
For China, because it has long been a typical land-based country, it lacks the tradition of maritime expansion. Therefore, when planning national military development and strategy, it is Germany that can provide reference for Zhang Hanqing and others, rather than Japan, which is separated by the sea and is worshiped as a disciple by the Chinese.
Before the Franco-Prussian War, Germany, like Italy, was just a geographical term. It consisted of dozens of feudal states and was not a unified country. Germany took advantage of modernization as an opportunity and used nation-state as its slogan. In just a dozen years, it became a powerful country in Europe and even the world. It was indeed attractive to China at that time. Germany's geographical location is in the middle of Europe. From a military point of view, it is the land of the four wars. Its geographical advantages are not as good as those of China. In terms of geopolitics, the ultimate development direction and national positioning of continental countries and maritime countries cannot be the same. Therefore, Japan has no reference significance for China, but the experience of Germany and the oppression suffered by other powers in modern times have a lot of reference content for China.
Since the current construction of the navy is unrealistic, Zhang Hanqing turned his attention to the air power theory of another military strategist Du Hei.
Duhei’s theory of empty power??The originator of the new concept of air superiority, and strongly advocated the establishment of a strong and independent air force, changing the pattern of war; the world that used Mercator projection maps in the past has been replaced by polar-centered projection maps, Tianlu With the coming of the era, the geographical barriers of the Arctic are meaningless, the Arctic region has become the center of air power, and Alaska has become a shortcut between Asia and the United States. The concept of air power has broken the previous distinction between the front line and the rear; the shape of war The situation evolved into a national war prepared for war.
Before the 1920s and 1930s, the world was still stuck in the era of giant ships and cannons, and its understanding of the air force was far from a strategic level. At this time, all countries were at the same starting line in terms of aircraft construction levels. However, Zhang Hanqing was deeply aware of the huge power of the air force. He arranged for Feng Yong to pay attention to the development progress of this area two years ago.
Since the Wright brothers built the first airplane, due to the limitations of the industrial level at that time, the subsequent airplanes did not have much improvement. Not only did they have short range, but they were also inconvenient to maintain. They did not make much achievements in civilian and military applications. In the late World War I, military aircraft were mostly used for reconnaissance or transportation. The so-called fighters had machine guns installed in the front of the aircraft, while bombers were limited by engine thrust and could carry very little ammunition, so they were of little use.
In the early days, seaplanes and landplanes developed at the same time. In the 1930s, water jets developed very rapidly. Long-distance and intercontinental flights were almost monopolized by water jets. Regular passenger flights across the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean were also opened.
It can be said that China’s aviation industry was not too late. Historically, on August 9, 1919, China successfully trial-produced its first seaplane, the "A-type No. 1". This is a 100-horsepower, towed twin-barrel, bi-wing water training aircraft, 3.88 meters high, 9.32 meters long, 13.70 meters wide, with a maximum speed of 126 kilometers per hour, an empty weight of 836 kilograms, a load of 1063 kilograms, and fuel. It has a capacity of 114 liters, a flight altitude of 3,690 meters, a navigation capacity of 3 hours, a range of 340 kilometers, a crew of 2, and can carry 4 bombs. The performance and quality of the aircraft are no worse than those previously built by Bayama and others at Mecotis, Nengyong and Boeing 3.
With a good foundation, Bole is still needed to excavate and cultivate it. In order to pool limited resources together to achieve greater achievements, at Zhang Hanqing's suggestion, a fourth office was added under the Marshal's Office: the Northeast Air Force Preparatory Office, with Feng Yong as the director.
What the Air Force is, I guess Zhang Zuolin has never seen it with his own eyes. Not only him, but probably the generals on the front lines of World War I would not think that this kind of thing made up of several pieces of wood would play a subversive role in future wars. The power of the Air Force was not recognized until World War II.
“However, Zhang Hanqing believes that it is necessary to reserve talents first, and relevant information and management methods also need to be planned. In this era, no country regards the air force as a major branch of arms. It is all under the banner of the navy and the army. At this time, no country has a formed doctrine on air force construction, and Douhet's "On Air Power" will not be published until next year.
Feng Yong has been quietly invisible since Feng Delin was frustrated. Although he officially served as Zhang Zuolin's counselor, everyone knows what role he can play with Zhang Hanqing, a "senior counselor".
"But Zhang Hanqing is very optimistic about him. In addition to the fact that he single-handedly promoted the Fengtian Air Force in history, his integrity in making promises is also impressive. You must know that in order to save Feng Delin from the fire and water, he entered into a marriage contract with Jiang Chaozong's ugly daughter. In the end, Jiang Chaozong did not play any role in the rescue of Feng Delin, and Feng Yong resolutely married Jiang Jin|tao.
That day, Zhang Hanqing personally came to congratulate her and found that the bride was really ugly.
Comparing with Yu Fengzhi and Huang Wanqing, there is no sense of happiness without comparison, so Zhang Hanqing was in awe of Feng Yong. If a man who can be so cruel to himself has an idea in his career, he will definitely do it to his death.
Feng Yong's performance did not disappoint Zhang Hanqing: he managed to recruit Liu Zuocheng, who was appointed as the captain of the aviation brigade by the Beiyang government and was hailed as the first generation aircraft manufacturer in China, and did everything possible to make the first water jet from the original A group of technicians were recruited from Mawei Shipyard in Fujian, the production site, and the first aviation school of the Republic of China, "Qinhuangdao Air Force School", was established on the banks of the Qinglong River in Qinhuangdao outside the customs. Liu Zuocheng was the principal. At that time, there were a total of 2 water jets.
At that time, the air force under the direct control of Sun Liechen had only three land planes and several airboats, which could carry out the task of dropping bombs. Although the number is a bit ridiculous, it is the only one in China.
Although the cost of building an airplane at that time was expensive, it was not unacceptable. Nowadays, there is money from the Fengxian family, it’s just a question of how to spend it secretly. Zhang Hanqing secretly established the First Squadron of the Air Force and planned to build 12 land and water aircraft prototypes in the early stage. In addition to training pilots, they will continue to improve to ensure the ability to update technology.
In addition, the original guard's room was changed to the fifth guard office, the adjutant's office was changed to the sixth adjutant's office, and the six departments under the marshal's office became a unit at the same level as the eight inspection offices. These positions are not recognized by the central government.
"Blooming in all directions and bearing fruit in all directions, Zhang Hanqing wants to gather these forces into a fist." Of course, they are unified under their own command. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?? position, that is the rhythm of establishing government agencies, although these positions are not recognized by the central government.

Chapter 448 Full-fledged Wings
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Politically, Zhang Hanqing’s power also began to emerge gradually. After Liu Shangqing entered the customs, his position as governor of Jilin was taken by Mo Dehui. This was the first person in the young marshal's direct line to hold a high position, and the young marshal's civil service group first showed its prowess.
“In addition, Wang Yongjiang continued to support Zhang Hanqing as the first civil affairs faction under Zhang Zuolin, and Tianjin and other internal forces headed by Liu Shangqing served as his back-up. Zhang Hanqing’s layout of influencing the Fengcian from the outside was initially realized.
But none of this made our young marshal complacent. On the contrary, he had a clear mind about the current severe situation in Northeast China. The more times they quarrel with the Japanese, the shorter the time until it breaks out. God knows if they will advance the date of September 18th. Is Fengxi really ready at this time?
"Zhang Zuoxiang, Jiang Baili and others also share the same worries as him. Especially Jiang Baili, with a strategist's perspective, he continuously advised Zhang Zuolin on the layout of the Feng army, asking Zhang Zuolin to eliminate weak soldiers and abandon the shortcomings of relying on numbers, and invest his energy and limited funds into improving the combat effectiveness of the existing army.
Jiang Baili was a man of great resilience and great strategy, and his hard work paid off. Zhang Zuolin finally decided to enhance the combat effectiveness of the existing 10 divisions as the main focus of the army in the near future, and gave up the original plan of expanding the provincial security brigades into divisions. plan, and reorganized the existing military deployment, allowing Fengjun to straighten out the command system:
Sun Liechen concurrently served as the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun in Guan, unified the military and political affairs of the provinces in Guan, controlled Tianjin, Rehe and Suiyuan provinces, and dispatched Tang Yulin's 5th Division, Zhang Jinghui's 16th Division, and Ji Jinchun's 20th Division The Eighth Division, a total of 3 divisions, is based in Tianjin. The Fengjun in Guan Nei was unified named North China Fengjun. Since Chahar was relatively safe because it was located between the Northwest People's Army, the Feng Clan and the Jin Clan, the Malongtan army was transferred back to the outside of the pass, and Zhai Wenxuan was once again selected as the governor.
The Fengjun troops in Liaoning Province and south of the South Manchuria Line in Jilin Province were unified and reorganized into the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, with Zhang Zuoxiang as the concurrent commander. They were responsible for dealing with the Japanese Kwantung Army entrenched in Dalian and the South Manchuria Railway Guard Army, and guarding Jilin, The border between Liaoning and North Korea was used to prevent Japanese and Korean reinforcements during the war. The headquarters is built in Yingkou and has jurisdiction over Pei Qixun's 9th Division, Yu Zhen's 30th Division and Ding Chao's 23rd Division, a total of 3 divisions.
Wu Junsheng concurrently serves as the commander of the Northeast Road Protection Army, which has three divisions in total: Wan Chunlin's 29th Division, Xing Shilian's 4th Division, and Malongtan's 10th Division. The headquarters is located in Changchun. One of his tasks was to completely cut off the possibility of the Japanese troops breaking into the north from the southern Manchurian Line, and to preserve the Black Province as the Fengtian rear area strategy.
Jiang Deng selected the 27th Division as the general reserve force and stationed it in Shenyang as a mobile force.
Xing'an, Chahar, Mongolia and the northwest region are controlled by the Marshal. Since the Northwest People's Army Headquarters has been established, all departments are subject to the direct management of the Marshal and no changes are needed.
In order to avoid direct conflict between the garrison and the Japanese army, Zhang Hanqing and Jiang Baili followed the example of later generations and established an armed police force in the Northeast on a pilot basis, referred to as the armed police force. Its main function is to act as a buffer between the Japanese army and the Feng army to reduce the chance of conflict between the two armies. These troops are actually infantry without artillery. The advantage is that local security no longer relies on the army, making it possible for troops to maneuver. In addition, because they are starting from scratch, there is no opportunity or excuse for soldiers to interfere in politics.
This force is based on the redundant unit that was reorganized from the security brigades in each province under its command, and is recruited locally in each province. Armed police corps will be established in each province, with the leader as the captain and the military rank of major general, depending on the geographical conditions of each province, with approximately 8,000 to 10,000 people under its jurisdiction; armed police detachments will be established in various places and cities, with the leader as the detachment leader and the military rank of lieutenant colonel; Counties and banners set up brigades or squadrons, with leaders ranging from brigade captain (major) to squadron captain (captain).
The red-striped plaid armed police uniform that Zhang Hanqing admired most in his previous life was also "designed" by him. It changed the image of the police as a "white bandit army" in the early Republic of China, making this special force that combines security and public safety more popular among the people than any other. The warlord made a better impression.
In areas controlled by the People’s Party, the Armed Police Force is under the control of the People’s Party Committee at the same level, and the highest command authority belongs to the Military Commission of the Northwest People’s Army; within the Feng Clan, it is under the concurrent control of Zhang Zuoxiang, who concurrently serves as the commander of the Feng Clan’s Armed Police Force.
In order to strengthen the connection between various military departments, Zhang Hanqing vigorously assembled radio communication equipment, and the radio station was assembled at the division level by the end of the year. Confidential telephone lines have also been set up between provincial headquarters and headquarters in the three provinces of Beijing, Tianjin and Northeast China to strengthen communication.
After integration, resources have been effectively utilized, and field troops have also moved away from local security responsibilities that are inconsistent with their missions and begun to move into mobility, and their combat capabilities have been greatly increased. And Zhang Zuolin was also able to get away from the heavy affairs.
Jiang Baili is committed to improving the combat effectiveness of the Fengtian army and has compiled many effective training materials for use in the Northeast Military Academy.?, we also work hard to enrich the strategic outlook of the senior generals of the Fengjun Army in peacetime, so that the Fengtian Department can become "elite soldiers and generals."
Many people were not optimistic about Jiang before and were puzzled by the young marshal's high-profile use of Jiang Baili. Now they are very convinced and sincerely admire the young marshal's "knowledge of people". Listening carefully to Jiang Baili's speeches again and again, Zhang Zuolin was still inspired. He privately said to Zhang Hanqing: "Xiao Liuzi, the most appropriate thing you have done over the years is to find Jiang Fangzhen."
Zhang Hanqing is so sweaty. Do you dare me to help you get so much food and fiscal revenue through land reform and the New Deal, but it is not as good as Jiang Baili? I suppressed the bandits, helped you capture Jilin and Xing'an, and more than doubled your territory by detouring from Mongolia to Shaanxi and Gansu, but it's not as good as a single Jiang Baili? I helped you secretly obtain 600 tons of gold, and expanded countless factories and mines for the development of heavy industry for Fengjun, but it's not even as good as a general? Even Jiang himself was recruited through hard work! But it’s worth it if dad can appreciate Jiang Baili!
Zhang Zuolin is a man of action, and his appreciation of Jiang Baili goes beyond words. With a stroke of his pen, the Shenyang Arsenal and a series of military-related enterprises were placed under the name of the "Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense". In addition, Jiang Baili also served as the chief of general staff of the inspection mission, replacing Zhang Zuoxiang who had multiple responsibilities.
Since the Fengjun Army was divided into three relatively independent military groups, Jiang Baili's position as Chief of General Staff was more of an advisory role in military construction as Zhang Zuolin's military staff, which fully utilized his strengths. He is good at strategic planning and has the power to decide on the development of China's military industry through his position as chairman of the Science and Technology Commission, which makes the military and equipment more closely aligned.
From this time on, Fengxian's military manufacturing began to embark on the road of overall coordination. According to the principle of "small steps and fast running", the first step is to replenish the artillery regiments of each unit, and the second is to popularize mortars as front-line infantry firepower support. While meeting this condition, Shenyang Arsenal and other military industrial enterprises will be freed up to do more meaningful things, such as the development of large-caliber mortars, imitation of military motorcycles, preparation of high-power diesel engines, etc.
Jiang Baili served as the Chief of General Staff of the Feng Army, which was a big breakthrough for Zhang Hanqing in the Feng Army. With Guo Songling inside the pass and Jiang Baili and Jiang Dengxuan outside the pass, Zhang Hanqing was able to slowly penetrate Fengjun's intentions through them. Zhang Hanqing was full of confidence in fully controlling Fengjun.
From Fengtian autonomy, to Fenghei autonomy, then to the autonomy of the three eastern provinces, and then to the federal-provincial autonomy, Zhang Zuolin has grown step by step under the banner of autonomy. Now, in name, he is in charge of the three eastern provinces, Xing, Mongolia, Shaanxi, Xinjiang, Re, Sui, and Chacha, plus Tianjin, which already occupies one-third of China's territory. If he continues to "autonomize", he will have to Became an independent country.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing persuaded Zhang Zuolin to "comply with public opinion" and reorganize the expanded Northeastern United Provinces Autonomous Government into the "National Unification Committee". With the response of the provinces under the Fengtian clique, Zhang Zuolin successfully took office as chairman, and several vice-chairmen were vacant.
"The National Unification Committee" consists of ten committees, each of which controls important resources and power of the Fengtian clan:
The Administrative Committee, chaired by Wang Yongjiang;
Finance and Economics Committee, chaired by Liu Shangqing;
Industrial Committee, with Pan reinstated as chairman;
Agricultural and Industrial Committee, chaired by Mo Dehui;
Transportation Committee, chaired by Chang Yinhuai;
Education Committee, chaired by Xie Yinchang;
The Judicial Committee, chaired by Wang Ruizhi;
Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, chaired by Jiang Baili;
The planning committee is chaired by Zhang Hanqing. This is not a new thing. In fact, before the establishment of this organization, Northeast China had already formed planned economic development steps, including the allocation of important resources within the jurisdiction, the production arrangement of national economy and people's livelihood materials, and the overall balance of industrial development. He must be responsible for this macro-control ability to guide the overall economic operation.
The most important military committee is concurrently chaired by Zhang Zuolin, Sun Liechen is the vice chairman, and Wu Junsheng, Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Hanqing, Jiang Baili and others are members.
The establishment of the National Unification Committee enabled the Fengtian faction to clarify its responsibilities and development direction for the first time, which is to "realize the political unity and sovereignty integrity of the country." This coincides with the primary purpose of the People's Party and is also This resonated strongly with a large number of patriots who were dissatisfied with warlords' melee and foreign invasion. For a time, the "National Unification Council" recruited a large number of talents, and the People's Party grew unprecedentedly, and its influence among the people became more and more like a banner. The image of Zhang Zuolin is no longer a warlord occupying one side, but a leader of a conscientious group who cares about the country and the people and works hard for the reunification of the country.
Because of the promulgation of these slogans, all patriots saw the dawn of China's reunification, and unanimously regarded the goals of the People's Party as their lifelong goals. The Communist Party, which was about to be established at the same time in history, no longer had a more distinct goal than the People's Party at this time. Therefore, it did not have enough soil and strength to gain support, and was inadvertently annihilated in the bud.
The government and the military each perform their own responsibilities, allowing managers to have more time to think about the bigger picture. This is the highest state of management: governing by doing nothing. Zhang Zuolin did it.

Chapter 449 The fusion of water and fire

We need to combine work and rest. We have stayed outside the customs for too long. Facing those beauties every day, you can imagine the sadness in my heart.
So, when I came to the Marshal’s Mansion, I wanted to understand the situation a little bit and then do what I love. But after more than a month, although there is no ambiguity on major matters, there are still many scattered things that need to be handled by oneself. Besides, do the key people in the young marshal's office also need comfort? You can't put more emphasis on sex than friends. That's too much, isn't it?
So I patiently handled the official business, encouraged Lin Wei, Chen Bui and others, and also instructed all departments to provide various conveniences to the newly prepared air force. The Third Naval Service and the newly appointed fleet commander also came to meet the new boss. All kinds of things came and went in one noon.
Sometimes he also thinks that although he has said nothing about this country, he has actually stayed out of the country three times. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable his heart felt like a cat scratching. After finally handling it, he dodged with a stab.
He walked excitedly to the inner room. As the saying goes, love grows with time. After being married to Yu Fengzhi for a long time, family affection has developed even if there is no love. Besides, his wife, the best wife, has never told him about it. Entering the main entrance, Yu Fengzhi was not found. Strangely, Chunni came over.
In the past few years, the little girl’s body has been growing like a string, and she has become more generous. But Zhang Hanqing would not change her mind. The rabbit didn't eat the grass beside the nest. Besides, her father had arranged for her to be married to Li Debiao, the loyal soldier whom Lao Zhang had promised to marry him. Now he is a major and battalion commander, and the relationship between the two is very good.
When Chunni saw Zhang Hanqing coming back, she couldn't help but smile on her face: "Young Marshal is back. Madam was still talking about Shenyang this morning and didn't go home first." She pursed her lips and said, "Madam is in the kitchen. I will personally prepare dinner for you and make your favorite braised pork elbow."
How can a husband regret getting a wife like this? Zhang Hanqing nodded and tiptoed to the kitchen.
Yu Feng tied her apron around her waist and was looking at the pot intently, completely unaware of Zhang Hanqing's naughty movements. With her status, she shouldn't have done the cooking herself, but she just did it. Zhang Hanqing was behind her for a moment, but she was still immersed in the joy of labor.
This made Zhang Hanqing feel embarrassed. Originally, he wanted to pounce on a hungry tiger. For fear of scaring her, he slowly retreated to the door, then coughed lightly.
This sound still shocked Yu Fengzhi, but in an instant, she recovered her composure. The familiar voice and familiar scent made the whole room feel at ease. She turned her head and looked back with a smile.
“Han Qing, you almost scared me,” she said.
“Hmph, if you weren’t afraid of being scared and just give me a break, I would have thought of talking behind your back,” Zhang Hanqing thought, looking at the spatula in her hand. He stretched out his hands to find her sensitive areas.
Yu Fengzhi twisted a little, and his restless hands took the opportunity to slide to his chest, and what he could reach was a piece of softness. When Yu Fengzhi was young, her body was still as warm as when she was newlywed. He put it close to the heel of her ear, and the air he exhaled from his nostrils made Yu Fengzhi feel numb and warm.
“Don’t make trouble, I’m cooking,” she said.
"I don't care, I don't want to eat now, I just want to eat you." Zhang Hanqing's desire rising from his dantian made him excited. A long separation was better than a new marriage, which was especially suitable for his young body. Following these words were his restless hands.
Yu Fengzhi felt itchy when his hands touched her up and down, and at the same time she felt changes in the body that was close to her. Being young and powerful is not just talk. However, she did not cater to him as usual, but twisted her body slightly, turned her back to him and said teasingly: "You are unlucky to be here today, and I am not the same."
Zhang Hanqing had an arrow on the string, so how could he believe it? He thought she was trying to refuse but still wanted to welcome him. He held her waist with one hand, and put his other hand unceremoniously under her clothes, trying to move around. However, after groping for a critical point, he suddenly withdrew his hand like a deflated rubber ball and said in annoyance: "Fuck!"
Yu Fengzhi laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up straight. She put the dishes on her own and said, "I told you it wouldn't work. Do you believe me now?"
The facts are all there, can you not believe it? Zhang Hanqing's interest was suddenly suspended in the air, and it was very painful. Yu Fengzhi saw his shocked look and found it even more funny. In Zhang Hanqing's eyes, it was a mockery of losers. Without saying a word, he hugged Liu's waist tightly and said angrily: "I don't care, even if a white knife comes in and a red knife comes out today, I will treat you."
He half-seriously wanted to take off Yu Fengzhi's clothes, but Yu Fengzhi was startled, thinking that he was really coming. Not having sex during menstruation, this isShe has received modern education and knows the dangers of this ancient saying. Seeing that Zhang Hanqing had lifted up her top, she wanted to laugh but also said in a slightly panic: "Hanqing, do you want to die!"
Zhang Hanqing is not that anxious. He just punished her lightly for teasing him. Hearing this, he could no longer hold on. The body of a young person is like a heavy rain in June. It comes and goes as quickly as it comes. Faced with physical communication that is destined to be meaningless, the enthusiasm is gone. However, he would not let her go easily, and still continued his unfinished career. He angrily said in her ear: "I am willing to die for you, what should I be afraid of?"
As an old couple, Yu Fengzhi naturally knew that this was a joke between husband and wife. It seemed that Zhang Hanqing had walked out of the "shadow". She looked around and saw that Zhang Hanqing had already set up a tent. She couldn't help but snicker: "Do you really want to? Ask Sister Wanqing, it's convenient for her."
Don’t tell me, if Zhang Hanqing knew that there would be such a situation, he would definitely go to Huang Wanqing’s place to have some communication first. But after Yu Fengzhi said this, he couldn't show his anger, otherwise his first wife would be so sad! He let go of his hand and said angrily: "I'm not going, I'll just hold it in until I die."
Yu Fengzhi couldn't bear it anymore and laughed loudly: "I don't believe you will let that person suffocate to death. Stop pretending, eat first, and have the energy to go find her after you finish."
My husband knows that although he is a good person, his thoughts on this matter are a little too casual. Not to mention that there was Red Peony, "Company Commander" and so on in the past, even without Huang Wanqing, I couldn't prevent him from stealing. Rather than letting him face the unknown temptation, it would be better to have two women tie him up together. So after thinking about it, I really tolerated Huang Wanqing in my heart.
Zhang Hanqing wanted to enjoy the blessings of others, but he was still very good at telling the truth. He stared at Yu Fengzhi's mouth: "I will rest here after dinner, you think of a way."
Yu Fengzhi understood what he meant, but she would not accept the move: "You have been suffering for such a long time, who can bear it? Eat quickly, and then go find your sister from the Huang family."
It was very frustrating to eat this meal: if it was too late, I would feel anxious; if it was too late, I would have to face Feng Zhi’s malicious smile again. After finally filling his stomach, Zhang Hanqing ran away under Yu Fengzhi's half-smiling eyes, as if he was about to do something shameful. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

But what he wants to do is really shameful, at least not where others are around.
With the Huang family regaining its vitality, the wealthy Huang Fengting bought a large house in Shenyang again. However, Huang Wanqing did not want to live there, so she chose to buy a small courtyard house not far from the Marshal's Mansion, just because it was closer to the Marshal's Mansion, so that Zhang Hanqing would have to walk less to get in and out With the expansion of the Feng clan, especially the people The army settled in the northwest, and Zhang Hanqing had less and less free time. It was common for him to stay away from home for a long time. She did not want to distance herself from him because of distance.
It’s not dark yet, and Huang Wanqing is playing with her child, who is a little over one year old and is toddling. When her husband is away, this child is her greatest comfort. This was thanks to Zhang Hanqing's power. After just a few back and forth, Huang Wanqing became pregnant as expected. She was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to a boy successfully. The Huang family was so happy that they didn't know what to expect.
Mother is more valuable than her son, and just because of this, the Huang family and the Zhang family have become one. Also benefiting from Zhang Hanqing's support, Huang Fengting took over the grain trading business in Northeast China in just a few years, and later established the Northeast Grain and Oil Group. With the largest share capital, he became the ex-officio chairman and one of the pillars of the Feng family's economy.
Huang Wanqing seemed very surprised when Zhang Hanqing came here unexpectedly. After giving birth to the baby, her body was completely relaxed, and her young womanly charm made Zhang Hanqing like her even more. Now that my menstrual period has disappeared, and I am holding back an evil fire, I naturally have something to say.
Seeing Zhang Hanqing looking anxious, hugging her and heading towards the inner room, Huang Wanqing couldn't laugh or cry - how much injustice must be redressed? But she didn't resist. Firstly, this was her man, and secondly, she also had needs. But to go straight to the topic at the beginning would be a bit too much. After all, you have to rub your hair together and do some foreplay, right?
She hurriedly put the child on the kang, and while subconsciously supporting her left and right, she panted in Zhang Hanqing's ear: "Hanqing, it's still daylight, don't do this, you will make people laugh."
Zhang Hanqing’s hands were close to the skin and touched two soft places. He grabbed a handful and said with satisfaction: "You are my woman. I can have it if I want it. Who cares about this?"
Knowing that love is inevitable, Huang Wanqing reached out to push his hand away, but he held it tightly. She could only plead softly: "Don't be busy, I'll go wash up first."
Zhang Hanqing felt it was coming, and he was not willing to let it go: "When it's done, wash it together, so you don't have to wash it twice and waste water."
Huang Wanqing had no choice but to postpone it for a moment: "Then let's talk first."
Zhang Hanqing ignored her. He pushed Huang Wanqing's arm away and lay on her body. He moved his hands skillfully and said with a smile: "You say what you say, I will do my thing, and everyone will not disturb each other."
After a while of rubbing, Huang Wanqing was infected by his enthusiasm and felt something. Feeling Zhang Hanqing's vitality, she lightly opened her red lips, whispered into his ear and said, "Rogue."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of hand. He knelt down on Huang Wan's lap, looked at her familiar yet blood-curdling smoothness, smacked his lips and said, "After you followed me, you became more and more graceful."
Although Huang Wanqing had been married to him for two years, she still couldn't help but feel shy under his lewd gaze. She stretched out her hand to cover his eyes, and Zhang Hanqing spread his hands to both sides, then leaned forward. It is slightly blocked, but it does not prevent Zhang Hanqing from finding ways to open the box and release water. When he entered slowly and skillfully, the inside was compact but no longer felt stagnant, so he lifted up his body and put it all in. "This is all the result of my hard work."
What answered him was that Huang Wanqing catered to him with all her strength. As long as possible, she would not deny anything to this deeply loved man. She obediently allowed Zhang Hanqing to take his own whim, trying to make him more comfortable. Zhang Hanqing could fully appreciate that kind of whole-hearted love. It was at this time that Zhang Hanqing fell deeply into this gentle country and refused to extricate himself.
Women have sex because of love, and men have sex because of sex, no matter how bad it is.
After the fish and dragon dance, Zhang Hanqing was sweating profusely and hugged Huang Wanqing with a flushed face in contentment. And the doll lying on the kang didn't make any sound at the moment when the two of them were in harmony, and just watched the two goblins fighting with wide eyes. He was really a good boy who knew both cold and hot!
Huang Wanqing brushed away her hair that was a little messy due to her excitement just now. She looked at Zhang Hanqing who was gradually calming down and said, "You can be more honest at this time. You just wanted to eat someone. There are so many beauties in Beijing and Tianjin. You You haven’t flirted with a few? Would you endure it so hard?”
Sorry, Zhang Hanqing, Isn’t it okay for him to always keep himself clean? I left the customs in a hurry and came back in a hurry. Apart from taking care of my official business, I really didn't tell anyone.?The scandal comes. The interactions with Miss Zhu San, Gu Ruiyu, Yu Yifan, and Miss Liang Jiu are all supplements after official duties. I really put official duties first, and I have the conscience of heaven and earth!
After Huang Wanqing finished teasing, she stood up to clean up the battlefield, but was held down by Zhang Hanqing: "In order to prove my innocence, I decided to show you." He leaned over again: "You will know right away, if there is no goods, I No matter what, I dare not accept the challenge."
What else can Huang Wanqing say? The two have been married for a long time, and based on experience, she knew that Zhang Hanqing's rapid defeat just now meant that there would definitely be a fierce counterattack. Her mature body is completely ready for this battle, so she will not refuse, but has a sense of expectation.
The dull sound came again, this time it was long but not monotonous, and it was ecstatic to the bone.
Zhang Hanqing, who is completely free, can leisurely savor the details of the person next to him. The pleasure of a successful or mature man is not only to make himself happy, but also to occupy a more important position is to make women submissive at the same time. This is a state. Therefore, Huang Wanqing's contented style made him both proud and comfortable: "No wonder my father often said, 'A concubine is like an orderly, she must be used diligently, and something will happen if she is idle' You will get wet much faster this time than last time." "
In response to him, Huang Wanqing rolled her eyes in shame and resentment. Before entering the Marshal's Mansion, her status as concubine was constant in public, unlike the second to sixth wives of the Marshal's Mansion, who were all ranked according to the time of entry. But to be favored by Zhang Hanqing, she accepted her fate.
The couple then had time to talk slowly. Huang Wanqing, like traditional women, would not interfere with major affairs of the state, but unlike most women who made it a habit to discuss trivial matters about old millet. She has another pursuit, and this is what Zhang Hanqing appreciates: making money.
It’s not that there is no money. Even without the current achievements of her mother-in-law, Zhang Hanqing still had some scattered funds that were handed over to her one after another, which amounted to millions. This is his private money, including dividends from the four major northeastern banks he holds shares in, as well as corporate investment income. These alone have allowed her to become as rich as a modern billionaire and live a comfortable life.
“But Huang Wanqing comes from a merchant family, so he is destined not to sit back and rest in vain. She didn't know where she invested the money, and it was said that she got so much money that Zhang Hanqing laughed at her more than once for being a money addict. But Huang Wanqing doesn't feel dissatisfied. If she can earn some money by herself, isn't it better than a woman who reaches out to her husband to ask for money? At critical moments, she can also be her husband's support, although with the current trend, Zhang Hanqing will not be able to rely on her for a while. She watched Zhang Hanqing listen carefully to what she said with joy, feeling that she was still of some use.
"I roughly calculated the assets on hand a few days ago, and they were around three million. I want to make an investment. How about you help me analyze it, Han Qing?"
Zhang Hanqing's eyes widened: "I'm thinking that you only have about a million in hand, how can you have so much money so quickly? Let me tell you, if you want to make money, there are many ways, so don't go wrong. My bed partner can’t have money problems!”
This is the usual style of the Zhang family: although Zhang Zuolin, like others of his generation, was inevitably involved in powerful transactions and accumulated huge wealth, in terms of strictly prohibiting the harem from intervening in politics and making money from the harem, But the rules are very strict. Even his favorite Mrs. Shou was once furious because her mother-in-law asked for money.
When it comes to Zhang Hanqing, he is trying his best to avoid his wife's party from making gray income - are there many cases in which future generations will lose their jobs because they can't control their significant other? Yu Fengzhi's brother, Yu Aozhou, is as rich as anyone in the country because he is capable and does things honestly. This money will be earned by others even if he does not earn it. It is legal income and deserves encouragement.
Similarly, he used his power to facilitate his father-in-law, Huang Fengting, because the other party had the ability to make a fortune and fulfill the needs of the Fengxi family. It was a win-win situation. This kind of convenience is an act of support from the government, but not just because I am my father-in-law.
He hated corruption deeply, and in order to prevent those around him from being unclean, he issued a strict order: "All attendants are not allowed to entertain or entertain foreign parties without the permission of the Han Qing. Secret agents, attendants, etc., if they engage in prostitution or gambling, Once any misconduct is discovered, military law will be followed!"
Even Zhang Hanqing himself only did semi-public and semi-private things within a certain range. In the early days, a large part of the money he earned was used to support the Guard Division; when he got 600 tons of gold by chance, he already looked down on the small money, and advised Zhang Zuolin not to compete with the people for profit, and gradually withdrew from some In the economic field, the funds were mainly invested in the construction of the four major banks in the Northeast.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????″ Compared with the petty profits in the past, it is much more meaningful to engage in high-level things like banking, because Northeast Bank has infiltrated shares into countless large and small enterprises and groups through the three major banks, and has formed a pyramid from top to bottom. The Zhang family Then stand at the top of the pyramid.
As long as the Feng family is undefeated and the Feng family's economy is not in ruins, the Zhang family will always be the winner; but if the Feng family collapses, it will be meaningless no matter how much assets they have. Ambitious men measure success by power rather than money. of.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing was very alert to Huang Wanqing's sudden profit more than double. For him, although the money is not much, the origin is very important, because once the limit is exceeded, it will no longer be about this little money.

Huang Wanqing was angry and anxious. Zhang Hanqing's suspicion was the biggest blow to her. However, knowing his temper, she quickly argued: "Where did you think you were going? I earned this money innocently, and I definitely didn't use your banner, and I definitely didn't harm the public for personal gain!"
“Oh, that’s good, Zhang Hanqing feels relieved. But he became curious: "It's more than doubled, how did my Qing'er do it?" Knowing that he had been wronged, it was not too late to make amends. Women are made of water, and a little sweet talk is enough for a long time of tenderness.
Huang Wanqing liked his intimacy very much. After being praised like this by him, the grudge he just felt quickly disappeared, and he said with a proud face: "It's very simple. The economic situation in the Northeast is very good now. Almost all stocks have been rising since they were listed. Even within Guan Guan, Belarusians Even the Japanese know that this is a good place for Taobao, so as long as a company issues stocks, it must be a sure profit.
I will send people to keep an eye on the securities market and buy in large quantities whenever there are new shares or additional shares. After waiting for a period of time, even if it is still rising, I will sell it for cash, so that I will have enough cash to buy new stocks.
Speaking of which, this is still your credit. Who said that Shenyang Securities Exchange is so popular now? You don't know it during this period, because Tianjin subscribed a large number of "Northeast Treasury Bills", more funds began to flow into Shenyang from within the customs, which pushed up the market even more. If you go to the Shenyang Securities Exchange, you will know that it is booming. Very cool. "
In a sound financial market, securities are a barometer of the national economy, except, of course, China’s stock market in later generations. Many people are pursuing corporate stocks in Shenyang, which shows that their economic development path and the Northeast New Deal over the years are correct. However, from Huang Wanqing's words, Zhang Hanqing still felt a little worried: the stock market is sometimes a double-edged sword, and it may collapse if you are not careful.
"Tomorrow I need to talk to several people in charge of finance and finance. We must always be vigilant against black hands and ensure the good operation of the financial order. It is best to come up with some regulations. Regulations on daily limit, lower limit, vicious acquisitions, etc. are all necessary." he thinks.
The size of the Fengcian economy is already very large. As long as there are no internal problems, the government will have sufficient cash flow to curb the troubled waters of external hot money. Having personally experienced the financial crisis, he knows the weight of predators in the financial market and the harm they can do to economic development. It is the duty of the regulatory authorities to check for leaks, fill them up and take precautions.
While distracted, Huang Wanqing was dissatisfied: "What are you thinking about?"
Zhang Hanqing reacted quickly: "You just said you wanted to invest. Which stock did you have your eye on?"
Huang Wanqing shook her head: "I'm not buying stocks, I'm planning to sell all the stocks and invest in industry."
It was Zhang Hanqing's turn to be surprised: "The stock market is so profitable, and you have such a talent, wouldn't it be better to continue trading in the stock market? Don't worry, the economic development in the Northeast is far from its peak. Your existing stocks can only be held for a long time. It must be a sure profit without loss.”
Huang Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know——but I still want to do business. I think this is more profitable and meaningful than stocks."
Oh, is there such a thing? Zhang Hanqing became interested: "Let's talk about it. If it's feasible, we, as husband and wife, can go into battle together."
In his opinion, since Huang Wanqing has the talent for business and indeed has the ability, if he has any good ideas, he can squeeze out some sponsorship from the gap between his teeth. Anyway, it is a matter of left and right hands. Unexpectedly, what Huang Wanqing said next made him stunned, what a good wife!
"I thought about it, although you can make money quickly in the stock market, you are still rootless after all. You are sparing no effort to develop industry in the Northeast, but I am behind the scenes. It will not sound good if it spreads. And if you want the people to live a good life, , If a country is really strong, it must rely on industry, and speculation will not work. I heard that Japan’s domestic stock market is plummeting, and I am very worried, and I have been thinking about exiting.”
She said that the Japanese stock market plummeted because this year the United States restored the gold standard currency system that was suspended during the war, which resulted in deflation and plunged the U.S. economy into a brief depression. Because Japan's exports are highly dependent on the U.S. market, this impact was quickly transmitted to Japan. The stock markets in Tokyo and Osaka plummeted, and trading was suspended for 30 days. After this crisis, the excitement in Japanese society that had continued since World War I changed. , the chronic depression that lasted throughout the 1920s began.
It is really rare for a woman to have such an awareness. Zhang Hanqing didn't say anything, but he hugged her hard as a reward.
"Besides, flowers don't last forever, who knows whether there will be any changes in the stock market in the future? I don't want to live on your breath. (Zhang Hanqing pinched her nose: "What's the point of raising you?"?Not good? "). My family has owned a grain store since I was a child, and my father often told me that the business needs to be mature, so I am quite familiar with the grain business.
At that time, he could make a net profit of more than 4 cents per kilogram of millet harvested. Now that he is engaged in grain and oil processing, he handles tens of millions of kilograms of grain every day, and the price difference alone is quite large. You know, his company is very profitable. I just thought about it. The current yield per mu in Northeast China is only about 200 kilograms. If the yield per mu was even more than 30 to 50 kilograms, the profit would be considerable because it is pure profit.
The increase in food production is related to nothing more than water and soil, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and seeds. You are a person who does big things, so you have invested a lot of effort in water conservancy, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, etc. However, you have forgotten the most important seed. "
Did Zhang Hanqing really forget? How could he forget? Food is the most important thing for the people. In propaganda posters, the people of old China have been living on the verge of death from starvation. For him who traveled through time, if he could not solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in the Northeast, what was the point of his new people's land reform, household responsibility system, and construction of various water conservancy facilities? The start-up capital for the development of Northeast China still relies on things dug out of the land.
In recent years, thanks to the policy of reclamation and restoration of wasteland, the area of ??cultivated land in Northeast China has increased significantly, and the total output has also increased rapidly. But this is only on the surface. Due to the serious shortage of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the key yield per mu is still stagnant.
This is an ironclad fact, because Zhang Hanqing has personally experienced the New People’s Land Reform and is considered a person with first-hand information. Data he accidentally obtained from the Agriculture Committee a few years later supported this assertion.
There are also overseas research data to support this conclusion. Japan's Onoe Etsuzo based on the statistics of the population's minimum food consumption by the American economic historian Parkinson and combined with his survey results in the Northeast, he calculated the yield per mu of each era in history:
From the Sino-Japanese War to the Russo-Japanese War, China's yield per mu was less than 220 kilograms. From 1905 to 1925, the yield per mu increased slightly, to more than 220 kilograms. By 1945 in official history, it was only slightly higher. About 20 pounds more, now 240 pounds.
In the first few years after the founding of New China, due to various reasons, the yield per mu did not increase but decreased. For example, from 1949 to 1964, except for 1958, the grain output per mu never reached 200 kilograms. It was not until the 1970s and 1980s that the rice yield per mu increased dramatically due to the breeding and promotion of hybrid rice.
In the past few decades, the grain output per acre has basically not increased, and the land supply has not increased significantly, but the population has more than doubled. Therefore, it is not surprising that so many people have starved to death in history.
So, in this sense, Huang Wanqing is able to keenly see the business opportunities here, and she is worthy of having the blood of a businessman. Although her starting point was to make money, she may have done something of great benefit to the Chinese nation.
Later generations of seed companies, such as DuPont and Monsanto, control global seed production and sales, and also control the lifeblood of global agriculture to a certain extent. They have played a considerable role in increasing the yield per acre, but they have also been using their advanced technological capabilities - genetic technology - to achieve their ulterior purposes.
China has the world’s largest farmland and the world’s largest agricultural population. It is very important to establish China’s own seed production channels. Although in this era, the above-mentioned foreign seed companies are temporarily specializing in the chemical field, the accumulation of technology and the cultivation of talents require a long-term process. Who knows whether there will be a day in the future when China's seeds become popular and benefit people around the world. Woolen cloth?
So Zhang Hanqing said happily: "This is a good idea. Husband, I strongly support you. If you need money, give money and people. If you can cultivate a person like Yuan Longping, then your name will go down in history forever." "
Huang Wanqing thought for a moment, but she still couldn't figure out what kind of big shot Yuan Longping was, but her husband said it solemnly, so she felt that Yuan Longping must be a big shot. My husband's vision is never wrong. She seemed happy to have her husband's support for her idea. However, she hesitated and said: "Building a company will bring publicity to the public. Do you agree with me coming out to do things?"
Zhang Hanqing looked puzzled: "Why not? It's a good thing for women to work. Besides, you are very capable, and I like you."
This is what he says in his heart. After being influenced by later generations, he has a peaceful attitude towards women going out to work. It's natural, women hold up half the sky. Although there are many constraints on women's work in this era, in the Northeast, with his dedicated propaganda, this concept has gradually changed. Aren’t there many female workers in the factory? There are also more and more positions in which women participate, such as female teachers, female doctors, female conductors, and waitresses. The idea of ??equality between men and women and equal pay for equal work has begun to sprout in major provincial cities in the Northeast. Huang Wanqing's personal appearance as a young marshal and his wife is a sight in itself.
Huang Wanqing hugged his neck happily. If Zhang Hanqing objects, given her character, she will definitely give up obediently, and this becomes an idea. After all, in this era everything is being tested, and the binding force of tradition is huge, which is no longer something Huang Wanqing can bear. Now Zhang Hanqing not only agrees to pay, but also people agree to pay, why is he not happy?
However, Zhang Hanqing works with conditions: "Put aside the establishment of a seed company for today. I will try to sprinkle some seeds on you first to see if it can bear fruit." With a sweet cry, the Kang who had been calm for a long time It's lively again. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?His neck.

"Happiness is short-lived. As soon as Jin Feng Yu Lu meets again, Zhang Hanqing will leave Feng again."
Originally, he still had many plans to do, such as effectively integrating the Feng Clan economic groups inside and outside the country, listening to the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense's investigation results on the Feng Clan's military-industrial system, as well as future plans, air force preparations, etc., because of one thing. interrupted.
In Northeast China, all major events must be related to the Japanese, and it is the same this time.
Originally, the incident of Feng Jun killing two Japanese soldiers in Shenyang was very likely to turn into a major incident, but the right time, place and people were on the Feng Faction's side, and it was later forced to calm down.
But how can Japan be willing to be humiliated? Moreover, because the "An-Mongolia Army" pacified Mongolia, the Japanese planned military policy of merging Manchuria and Mongolia to open up the hinterland of Soviet Siberia was also undermined. In this case, it is strange that it can give up.
At this time, there were also undercurrents surging inside Mongolia. The People's Party government liberated herdsmen in Mongolia, established state-owned pastures, and developed mineral deposits, which gave the vast number of Mongolian herdsmen a way to survive. As a result, it deprived the upper-class princes of Mongolia of their privileges, severely violated their interests, and shook the foundation of their rule. With this dissatisfaction, on September 2, the princes of Outer Mongolia sent representatives to Harbin to borrow money from the Japanese to purchase weapons, plotted an uprising, and illegally pledged Mongolian forests and mines as collateral.
In fact, the "Fengqi Bureau" has made full intelligence preparations for Japan-Mongolia collusion. Zhang Hanqing's original instruction was to remain calm and wait and see what happens. He needs an opportunity to defeat these maggots who are causing harm to the country from the root.
Opportunities come and go.
He Baoshan, the Intelligence Section Chief of the Military Intelligence Division 2 stationed in Harbin of the "Fengqi Bureau" responsible for the three northeastern provinces, received a very surprising information: His senior intelligence officer Yu Rurun keenly noticed a strange figure in the Japanese headquarters in Harbin. This man was wearing a very ordinary dog-skin hat and coarse cloth clothes. At first glance, he looked no different from ordinary Northeastern people. But how could an ordinary person enter the heavily guarded Japanese military headquarters? After some twists and turns, Yu Rurun finally learned the origin of this extraordinary "ordinary person": he was Basang, the representative of the Mongolian Living Buddha sent to Harbin to seek weapons from the Japanese.
The Mongolian living Buddha Jebutan Zumba has been under house arrest since his defeat against the "An-Meng Army". After Mongolia's land reform, other important officials were either executed or exiled, and the separatist forces were greatly weakened. However, since the "Anmeng Army" sent troops to Gansu and the White Russian forces from the north took advantage of the opportunity to move in, the limited troops were forced to guard the border, which greatly reduced the strength of the troops in Kulun City.
In addition, the government is going all out to build Mongolia and has not dealt a deep blow to the hidden dark forces of the Mongols, which has caused these people to resurrect. Because the land reform caused most of the old upper class to lose their past glory and value, the old forces headed by the former Khalkha leader and deputy general He Bei and his two Taijis secretly colluded with the Zasak Tuhan tribe and the three Officials dissatisfied with the current administration, such as the Yinnoyan Khan, the Tushetu Khan, and the Chechen Khan, contacted the Living Buddha through the Erdeni Shangzhuote Badal Lama, and used Mongolian forests and minerals as collateral to borrow money from Japan. Loans were taken to purchase weapons for the uprising. This Basang was the representative of the living Buddha sect. It was he who arrived in Harbin via Hailar on September 2 and attracted the attention of Yoshino, the commander of the Japanese army in Harbin.
The Kulun garrison also discovered some signs: On September 13, a small group of former Mongolian nobles who had lost their land formed a refugee army and rioted at Kulun Station, the provincial government, and the provincial police department, beating, smashing, robbing, and burning. Ji Yiqiao, the commander-in-chief of the "Anmeng Army", suppressed it promptly. After killing several people and imprisoning more than ten people, the riot was suppressed. At that time, everyone thought that this was just a riot by people who were dissatisfied with the status quo. After severely punishing the leaders, the Mongolian Police Department released the remaining personnel after education.
Under the pressure of the Soviet Union, the Japanese Far East Army was forced to announce its withdrawal from Khabarovsk on September 17, thus losing a base area behind the Far East threat to the Fengtian clique. Later, the Fengjun North China military and political personnel represented by Zhang Hanqing took over the Russian concession in Tianjin on the 25th, becoming the first concession recovered by China since the Opium War. The whole country cheered, and the Fengtian clique's cohesion was unprecedentedly huge.
Then the Soviet Union made its second declaration to China, stating eight things: abolition of the Old Treaty between the Empire and Russia, the return of various rights, the restoration of commerce, the banning of the old party, the cancellation of consular jurisdiction in China, the abandonment of the Boxer Indemnity, the return of the China-Eastern Railway, and the exchange of diplomats. When taking over the Hankou Concession the next day, the Japanese government, together with the governments of the United States, Britain, and France, notified the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China against their wishes, reiterating that they "hope to complete China's reunification as soon as possible, and the new bank group will provide assistance at that time." With the support of the increasingly powerful Soviet Russia, the Feng clique began to systematically squeeze Japan's influence in the Northeast.
For the Japanese government, the civil strife in Mongolia is an excellent opportunity: under the pretext of protecting expatriates and economic interests, Japanese soldiers can move from the northeast to the northwest of Mongolia.Open the gap. Therefore, the Japanese government instructed the commander of the Japanese army in Harbin to convene a military meeting on October 2 to discuss the matter of borrowing money from Outer Mongolia to purchase weapons.
Just as Commander Yoshino was considering how to transport this huge batch of arms worth 6 million yen to Mongolia through the Fengxian-controlled areas, he suddenly received an emergency telegram from the country: The entire Kwantung Army has entered a state of combat readiness!
It turns out that since the Japanese occupation of Korea, some patriots were sent to the Northeast to form the Korean Revolutionary Party in an attempt to restore the country. In Huichun County, Jilin, on the border between China and North Korea, Korean revolutionaries Park Dong-myung, Kim Yong-sik and others contacted the Russian radical party and Hu bandits to break into the county seat, burn down the Japanese consulate, and kill 11 Japanese citizens and 1 Japanese policeman.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan issued a statement on dispatching troops to Huichun. In the statement, Japan only believed that the Huichun incident was caused by Hu bandits and avoided discussing the facts of the Korean Revolutionary Party. Zhang Zuoxiang was ordered to send troops to Huichun to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of this incident to enter the hinterland of Northeast China from the north and threaten security. The Republic of China government issued a statement expressing protest, but Japan ignored it. On October 9, Japanese envoy Kohata notified the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "The Japanese government has decided to continue sending troops to Longjing Village in Hunchun."
??The Japanese commander in Harbin, Yoshino, took advantage of this moment to evacuate overseas Chinese in the name of the ongoing war in the Far East, and set off from Harbin with a train full of arms and escorted them to Manzhouli along the North Manchuria Railway. This batch of arms totals 2,000 long and short rifles, 100 machine guns, 30 mortars, 1,500 artillery shells, 100,000 rounds of bullets and 2 radios. The commander of the 3rd Squadron of the 2nd Regiment of the Japanese Army, Hatoyama Takeo, is in charge of the vehicle. 141 Japanese troops.
This weapon is the weapon used by the upper-level Mongolian people to prepare for an uprising. They have discussed the handover method many times before. Under the strength of the Feng clique, Japanese soldiers do not dare to openly interfere in China's internal affairs. This in itself is a huge problem. improvement.
The "Fengqi Bureau" has already been closely monitoring it. After receiving the news, the Yu Zhen Department of the 30th Division of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army had already sent a regiment commander Liu Duoquan to stand ready at Manzhouli Station.
This Liu Duoquan is the battalion commander who ordered the Japanese to be killed in Shenyang not long ago. Because of this incident, not only was he not punished, he was promoted two levels in a row and was directly promoted to a vacant regiment commander of the 30th Division. This is also a signal, a reward from the Zhangs and his sons to the brave men who dared to say "no" to the Japanese.
Having tasted the sweetness, Liu Duoquan was of course full of desire to make meritorious deeds again. This time he was transferred to the forefront of the war against Japan, fulfilling his long-cherished wish. Upon receiving the order, he was fully prepared. With so many soldiers under his command, if he can't fight against a hundred Japanese and a group of Mongols, he should really dig a hole and bury himself in it.
When it got dark, the former Khalkha League Zuotai Jiraqige, who was responsible for the response, sent out his men to prepare to transfer the arms in batches with nearly 50 horse-drawn carriages. Rajg said to Takeo Hatoyama in stilted Japanese: "Your Excellency, Major, I accept this batch of arms in accordance with the decree of the Living Buddha of the Great Mongolia. I hope that the Great Mongolia and the Great Japanese Empire will form an alliance." He looked at the real thing in his hand. The gun was loaded with ammunition, and he said happily: "With these things, we have hope for the restoration of Mongolia!"
Hatoyama Takeo chuckled and said: "I wish you great success. We, Japan, Manchuria and Mongolia are one family and will create brilliance together."
The two sides began the handover in a friendly atmosphere. Dozens of carriages swarmed into the train house, all trying to transport their things as quickly as possible, so they scrambled to get there, full of fighting spirit. The scene was very touching. If the scolding of a small leader hadn't revealed the reason, Hatoyama Takeo would have really suspected that this was the army that he heard was defeated by the "Anmeng Army" in one blow.
"Hurry up! Are you waiting for the Han army to come and kill you?"
He shook his head helplessly. Ants can never become elephants. He only hopes that this arms can spark war on the land of Mongolia. At that time, the Japanese Empire can use various excuses to intervene, whether it is concern or surprise. These people are destined to become cannon fodder in the advancement of the Japanese Empire.
Not far away, there was another group of people moving quickly towards here. "The same goes for these Mongolians. For such an urgent and important matter, they have to come one after another. Do you really think that stationing troops in the station is just a decoration?
However, when he stared and saw that all those people, without exception, were holding up their spears and marching in a fighting posture, he hesitated for a moment, but suddenly his expression changed and he shouted: "Enemy attack!"
However, it was too late. Countless Northeastern soldiers rushed out of the night and surrounded both sides. Laqi Ge's face was as pale as earth, and he sat down on the ground. The arrogant energy he had shown off just now flew away in the blink of an eye.
Takeo Hatoyama was on a mission. Seeing that the mission could no longer be completed, he was unwilling to surrender. He pulled out his command sword and ran towards the train door howling. He issued combat orders to the Japanese troops in Japanese, as if he was about to retreat to the carriage and defend himself with a thick coat of arms. Iron sheet as a support.
Liu Duoquan was furious. Although he couldn't understand what the Japanese commander was saying, he saw that the balance of victory had irreversibly pointed to Fengjun. If the Japanese army held on to the carriage, the train full of arms would be like a big bomb. It is not a problem to eliminate all the Japanese troops. If the train bombs, this trip will not be worth the effort. He shot Takeo Hatoyama to death while shouting: "Kill all the Japanese!"
The Japanese have been showing off their power in the Northeast for many years, and the Northeast Army is holding its breath. At this moment, everyone was scrambling to hear the order, and there was a loud burst of gunfire. The Japanese soldiers in the entire squadron were caught off guard. Under the intensive firepower of the Northeast Army, most of them fell in an instant. After resisting for several minutes, the dying soldiers were still injured. Like a sieve, it was full of bullet holes, and hundreds of people died in a pile. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The merit is not worth the effort.

Chapter 453 Destroy the Buddha
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
After the "National Unification Committee" issued a statement strongly protesting the Japanese army's collusion with the Mongols and using arms to fund its attempt to undermine China's territorial integrity, the Japanese Kwantung Army General Headquarters flatly denied it.
Zhang Zuolin immediately informed the ministers of various countries in the name of the Mongolian Economic and Strategic Envoy that without the permission of the central government and local autonomous committees, any loan agreement unilaterally mortgaged by the Mongolian Forest Mine will be invalid. Governor Wang Shuhan of the Mongolian Provincial Government also sent a telegram to the Central Committee, demanding severe punishment for lamas who borrowed Japanese money privately.
Seeing that the evil deeds of the princes have been revealed, Mongolia, which is determined to split, has to take risks. Japan also moved from behind the scenes to the front stage, openly supporting Baron Wen Ganlun, the leader of the White Army who was defeated by the Soviet Red Army and living in Northeast China, and armed about 800 of his cavalry to raid Kulun.
A group of remnants, including Bokdog, the former representative of the royal family, headed by "Foreign Minister" Longqige, former "Cabinet Minister" Badmadolzi, and Deputy General He Bei, leader of the Khalkha League, tried to cooperate with each other internally and externally. Three thousand Mongols took advantage of the chaos and snatched out the imprisoned Jebutan Zumba. They supported the living Buddha and marched towards Kyaktu, intending to attack from both sides and help open the passage for White Enqin to march to Kulun.
Jebdan Zumba was reestablished as the "Emperor of Mongolia" and established an "autonomous government".
The events in Mongolia made Zhang Hanqing anxious.
Although Zhang Hanqing knew that the Mongolian garrison had sufficient supplies at this time and was sure of victory, he knew that this battle was a sign of Mongolia's final independence in history. A careless move could easily lead to a lifelong mistake. Not daring to be negligent, Zhang Jinghui's 16th Division, stationed in Zhanghuan (Zhangjiakou), was ordered to stand ready and watch the changes. On one side, he sent a telegram to Ji Yiqiao, "To deal with the treasonous and separatist clowns, we should concentrate our superior forces and use maximum firepower to eliminate their main force. We must wipe them all out and prevent them from slipping through the net. We hope that this battle will quell the source of Mongolia's separatism and forever maintain peace in our northern territory." ." For safety reasons, a call was sent back within a day to order Zhang Jinghui's department to prepare to go north for assistance in case of an incident. In addition, it also proactively stopped military operations in the northwest region.
While Jian Yiqiao ordered the Kyakhta garrison to stand firm, he used two cavalry brigades to cover it from the left and right. He personally led the main brigade of the "Anmeng Army" to attack and advance, surrounding the enemy in the narrow stretch from Kulun to Kyakhta. In the valley. After several hours of fierce fighting, most of the Mongolian separatist forces suffered casualties, and the rest begged to surrender. Three days later, the "Anmeng Army" captured nearly a thousand people under the Living Buddha Jebutan Zumba and escorted them back to Kulun in a mighty manner.
Zhang Hanqing extremely hated these traitors and traitors who led the wolf into the house and did not hesitate to work for the sake of profit. The day after learning about the war situation, he sent a message to Ji Yiqiao in the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Northwest Army: "Everyone who rebels should be punished with the intent of splitting the country." Serious crimes shall be punished severely.”
After interrogation, everyone confessed to intending to rebel. On October 15, the Mongolian Provincial Military and Political Commission shot thousands of captured people for treason at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain, and built a monument to commemorate them.
But there are different opinions on how to deal with the issue of Mongolian living Buddha Jebdan Zumba. The Central Government of the Republic of China and Zhang Zuolin both called to inquire about Zhang Hanqing's attitude. There was a vague idea that the Living Buddha had a great influence and should be handled properly. There are also many hesitant opinions within the People's Army and the Party. They believe that the Living Buddha has a huge influence in the hearts of the Mongolians. In order to stabilize the situation and avoid causing chaos, it is recommended to take a long-term approach.
Zhang Hanqing was unmoved and insisted on execution. He sent a telegram to the whole country the next day to express his position: "Anyone who divides our territory will be killed by the people of the country. Jebden Zumba was once regarded as the spiritual leader of the Mongolian people, but he did not want to benefit the Mongolian people, but he was often looked down upon. What's more, at the expense of betraying Mongolia's important interests and splitting the country, they are determined to lure the wolf into the house and work as a slave to the tiger. Fortunately, China will never be destroyed, people will unite in their minds, and war will bring peace. This incident may serve as a wake-up call to the people of the country. : Although China is large, there is no room for division. The law is ruthless and everyone is equal. For the sake of the country and the nation, Zhang Hanqing insists on asking the central government to revoke all his titles and order his execution to serve as a warning to others."
This incident has become known to the whole world and shocked the whole world. Both the British and Japanese governments put pressure on the Jin Yunpeng government and demanded the pardon of Living Buddha Jebutan Zumba. The British feared that the Dalai Lama in Tibet would set a precedent; the Japanese feared that the Mongolian Living Buddha would be destroyed and cut off one of his claws. However, Zhang Hanqing was unmoved. He insisted that "in these troubled times, thunderbolt measures must be used to show the bodhisattva's heart. This can not only severely punish the separatists, but also show the tough attitude of our government." He withstood the pressure from all parties and resolutely asked the government to cancel the title of Living Buddha Jebdenzun, and then ordered the local government of Mongolia to execute him immediately, and announced it to the entire Mongolian province.
Once the Living Buddha is enslaved, the Japanese army's dream of marching westward will be shattered, and a huge amount of money and a large number of ordnance will be lost in vain, which will only benefit the Feng army. So we seized on the "Huichun Incident" to try to drive a wedge into the Northeast. However, Zhang Zuolin is no longer the "King of the Northeast" who relied on the Japanese in the past, and he refuses to give in on matters concerning the safety of the base camp. Both sides sent troops here one after another, and for a while, a large number of troops gathered in the little-known town.
&nbsAs a result, we candidly exchange opinions with each other in order to seek the understanding of the Japanese government (on the Huichun incident). Although Yu Chonghan went to Japan ostensibly as a representative of the Beijing government, he actually went to Japan on my behalf. Most of the mission is related to the three northeastern provinces, allowing them to negotiate with the Japanese government. The content cannot be explained. "It is said that some of Yu Chonghan's activities in Japan were carried out secretly.
In short, Zhang Zuolin seems to have tied himself to Japan's chariot in an attempt to gain Japan's strong support in order to realize his dream of unifying China. However, the Japanese also know very well that "the stingy Zhang Zuolin starts everything from the pros and cons, and it is natural to have a flexible pro-Japanese theory."
However, after this incident, the Japanese also got Zhang Zuolin's trump card, and they did not dare to touch Marshal Zhang's "tiger whiskers" easily when dealing with him. After symbolically stating Japan's position, on November 18, Japanese envoy Kohata sent a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and agreed to withdraw the Japanese troops from Hunchun, thus the "Huichun Incident" came to a successful end.

Chapter 454 The Eve of Mongolian Autonomy
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Although Zhang Hanqing’s act of killing more than a thousand Mongolians was like cutting off the wrists of a strong man, it still left some Mongolians with lingering fears. Some hidden conspirators took the opportunity to spread rumors that "in order to control Mongolia, the Han people want to kill all the Mongolians" and so on, trying to provoke ethnic conflicts in order to get grain from the fire. Some Mongolians who did not know the truth were incited, and the social reform of Mongolian provincial autonomy that had once made progress showed signs of interruption.
Therefore, when Zhang Zuolin, the "Mongolian Economic and Strategic Envoy" who managed Mongolian affairs on behalf of the Central Committee, launched a massive "Mongolians ruling Mongolia" propaganda campaign across Mongolia under the instruction of Zhang Hanqing, it somewhat stabilized people's hearts. Everyone is watching, where is the future of Mongolia?
Abroad, in the face of Mongolia's gradual stabilization, the Soviet Russian government was also somewhat reluctant.
The Hulunbuir incident was Zhang Hanqing’s unexpected move when the domestic political and military situation in Soviet Russia was very unfavorable. Soviet Russia did not have much time to react to the incident. After regaining its strength and repositioning itself in the Far East, it was discovered that the strategic balance had gradually shifted to China, led by the Feng clique. The instigators of the current civil strife in Mongolia were actually former Belarusian wandering elements. Although the Japanese were the promoters on the surface, anyone could spot the shadow of Soviet Russia.
Zhang Hanqing’s emphasis on Mongolia and his toughness put pressure on the Soviet Russian government, which was preparing to fish in troubled waters. After Russia's eastward advance was halted at Port Arthur under Japanese military pressure, its encroachment on Mongolia and its traditionally transcendent status were also in danger of premature death. All this was especially unacceptable to the successors of Tsarist Russia who harbored great-power chauvinism.
In their view, the prosperous Mongolia, the increasingly tight ethnic relations between Han and Mongolia, and the Chinese government's (fengxian clique) tight control over Mongolia are by no means a blessing to Soviet Russia. Once the situation stabilizes, Mongolia, with its small population, will not be able to compete with the huge population base of mainland China. Therefore, maintaining this unstable situation, or at least having an agent, is very necessary.
Since Mongolia is an autonomous province, it has become inevitable for the Mongolians to rule Mongolia. The People's Party Mongolian government with Wang Shuhan as governor has completed its mission and needs to be taken over by cooperative Mongolians. Whoever can later serve as an administrative figure in the governance of Mongolia will naturally have a certain say in Mongolia's future affairs. This time, Soviet Russia decided to launch a trump card and use grand means to achieve its goals.
In view of the backwardness of Mongolia’s modern liberation movement and the difficulty of the People’s Party in penetrating into the vast hinterland of Mongolia, Zhang Hanqing mainly adopted the method of “involving the cities and the countryside” in order to establish an autonomous government for the Mongols in a short period of time. That is to say, only the government is elected in Kulum, the largest city in Mongolia. This government is the plenipotentiary government of the entire Mongolian Autonomous Province, so as to reduce the pressure of forming a government and make a quick decision.
Since most of the old Mongolian nobles were killed, they were replaced by some new-style leaders with modern experience. There are not many people who have certain influence in the minds of Mongolian people, and they are relatively scattered. All of this was one of the reasons why Zhang Hanqing advocated a major physical cleansing. Without the influence of tradition, it is easy for rising stars to accept new things.
But when Wang Shuhan, who was also the "Director of the Preparatory Committee of the Mongolian Autonomous Government", telegraphed the list of candidates reported from various places to Zhang Hanqing, Zhang Hanqing's heart that had been holding on to it finally broke out.
Sukhba | Ter, Qiao Bashan, Shaqi Lama, Baodao, Danshang
Most people may not know these, but all the familiar figures in the history of the founding of Mongolia are listed here. It really makes Zhang Hanqing proud and lucky——
How lucky that these lists fell into Zhang Hanqing’s hands!
How unfortunate that these people fell into the hands of Zhang Hanqing!
At this time, Sukhba Tel was still a young man named Junxiu who was only 27 years old - of course he couldn't compare his age with Shaoshuai Zhang who was a strange scar. This son of a herdsman who was born in the city of Maimai has a legendary experience: when he was 14 years old, he worked as a groom on the post road from Kulun to Kyaktu. At the age of 21, he was drafted to join the "Mongolian Autonomous Army" and was soon sent to the Huhu Army sponsored by the Russians. He studied at the Gil-Brack Military Academy and served as a cavalry company commander and a machine gun company commander after graduation. While in the army, Sukhba Tel was influenced by the Russian Revolution. After he was discharged from the army at the age of 25, he worked as a typesetter in a printing factory in Kulun and began to organize the first revolutionary group in Mongolia. After working together with Qiaobashan, he became the military minister and commander-in-chief of the People's Army of Mongolia at the age of 33 in official history.
Qiao Bashan is younger, only 25 years old. This son of a herdsman on the banks of the Kherulun River in the Chechen Khanate (now Eastern Province of Mongolia) was also capable of literary and military skills: at the age of 17, he was admitted to a school of the "Autonomous Mongolian Ministry of Foreign Affairs" and was sent to Russia in 1914. He studied in Irkutsk, organized an underground revolutionary group at the age of 24 and began to cooperate with the Sukhba|Ter group. After the founding of Mongolia, he served as deputy military minister and deputy commander-in-chief and political commissar of the People's Army. In order to commemorate him, Mongolia also named the, General Ulyasutai only has jurisdiction over the civil affairs of the Saiyin Noyan tribe, the Zasak Tuhan tribe and the Tangnu Ulianghai tribe, and also controls the four Khalkha tribes, Tangnu Ulianghai and Khovd roads. Mongolian soldiers.
To put it simply, Outer Mongolia in a broad sense is divided into three areas: the area under the jurisdiction of General Ulyasutai, the Khovd area, and the Tangnu Ulianghai area. The area under the jurisdiction of General Uliasutai in Outer Mongolia is Kabul. The fourth part of Erkha Mongolia.
In the third year of Xuantong, due to the Wuchang Uprising, the eighth Jebtsundamba Hutuktu of Kulun declared the independence of Mongolia and sent troops westward to Ulyasutai and Khovd.
Because during the entire Qing Dynasty, the Han people were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Mongolian ministries. Therefore, at this time, the Qing Dynasty's Zhasak in the Mongolian ministries, including the official offices at all levels, faced a dilemma: if they were loyal to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty was about to perish; if they were loyal to the Qing Dynasty, In the Republic of China, I don’t agree with it emotionally. Therefore, although the Zasaks had the ability to suppress the rebellion at that time, they all treated it negatively.
If Han people were allowed to intervene in Mongolian affairs throughout the Qing Dynasty, then these problems would not exist in the late Qing Dynasty.
With these relationships straightened out, Zhang Hanqing and others were able to organize Mongolia-related affairs in a systematic manner. When raising the issue of "Outer Mongolia autonomy", he wisely chose the narrow concept of Outer Mongolia. By this time, he had already gained considerable understanding of his thoughts on national autonomy.
In the narrow sense, Outer Mongolia only refers to the four tribes of Khalkha in Mobei Mongolia, namely the Tushetu Khan tribe, the Sayinnoyan tribe, the Chechen Khan tribe and the Zasak Tuhan tribe, excluding Tangnu Ulianghai and Khovd. Two places. Autonomy is limited to these tribes. In this way, the huge Mongolia is divided very clearly.
These four tribes were all added to the Mongolian Province as individuals as second-level units, and were also renamed Tushehan Mongolian Autonomous League, Saiyinnoyan Mongolian Autonomous League, etc. Complete Mongolian autonomy can be achieved in these places. The Mongolian self-government this time is mainly based on these places.
Khovd has nothing to do with Mongolia in the first place, and Mongolian people do not regard it as their territory. The Tangnu Ulianghaidu, which is similar to it, is still an indirect link of the central government (of course the Fengxi government). The territory under its jurisdiction is a second-level unit under the province of Mongolia, juxtaposed with the various provinces and prefectures in the interior. Its chief officials are appointed and dismissed by the province, so the Mongolian provincial government can effectively exercise management rights without considering the impact of autonomy.
Considering the important role of Kulun, as a secondary unit in the full sense, it was separated from the four original Khalkha Mongolian tribes and became the prefecture-level Kulun city.
The old city of Ulyasutai was separated from Sanyinnoyan because of its historical significance and as a trading city and highway station in western Mongolia. Together with Kulun, it became the only two city-building units in Mongolia Province.
In this way, Mongolia Province has completed its organizational structure and has jurisdiction over a total of eight prefecture-level secondary local areas: Four Leagues, two cities, Khovd and Tangnu Ulianghai. After almost wiping out the monk group and severely attacking the influence of the princely group, the two traditional local forces that influenced Mongolia were marginalized for the first time, paving the way for Mongolian autonomy and the effective local management of Mongolian provinces.
Almost at the same time as the Four Leagues' autonomy, the Mongolian Provincial Committee of the People's Party and the prefectural committees of the eight regions have completed the construction of the organizational structure. What happens next depends on whether the People's Party departments in each region can complete the local-centered political tasks according to the established plan. .

Zhang Hanqing was not satisfied with this list of candidates for the Mongolian Four League Autonomous Government. While investigating and collecting evidence, he was formulating opinions with Wang Shuhan and Ji Yiqiao.
There are too few pro-Chinese people, and those who are too deeply influenced by Soviet Russia account for 19 of the 25 candidates. There are also two sons of former leaders, a former Mongolian official appointed by the Central Committee, and a Lamaist In Hutuktu, there are only two people who are truly poor farmers and herdsmen, and they basically cannot read a few words.
“It’s no wonder they are. The sequelae of the execution of Jebzundamba some time ago gradually emerged: although this man was very bad, he had great influence in Mongolia, especially Mobei Mongolia, because he was the "Kutuktu" of the Mongolian region. Some people with ulterior motives use this to incite the hatred of the herdsmen who do not know the truth against the autonomous government in order to promote their rise to power.
"Hutuke" is the transliteration of Mongolian, which means "longevity", and "tu" means "you", which together means "a person with longevity", which means immortality. It was originally the Mongolian transliteration of the Tibetan "Zhubigu", which means "incarnation". This person who originally had a "long life" died early under Zhang Hanqing's care.
Jebtsundampa’s status in Mongolia and Tibet is extremely high. According to the archives of the Lifanyuan of the Qing Dynasty, there were a total of 146 Hutuktu between the Qianlong and Daoguang years. Among them, the Dalai Lama, Panchen Lama, Jebtsundampa and Zhangjia are called the Four Saints of Mongolian and Tibetan Buddhism: the Dalai Lama leads the overall situation; the Panchen Lama assists the Dalai Lama and leads Tibet; Jebtsundampa Ba led Mobei Mongolia; Zhangjia led Monan Mongolia. The article "Explanation of the Titles of Khutuktu in Tibetan Buddhism" published by He Qiyeletu in "China Tibetology" also believes that: "The highest status among the khutuktu in the Mongolian and Tibetan areas are the Dalai Lama, the Panchen Lama, and the Panchen Lama. Jebtsundamba”. Being on par with the Dalai Lama of Tibet, who is very famous in history, shows his status.
It is difficult for mainlanders who respect Confucianism to understand why Hutuktu has such great influence, but just think about the fact that the Dalai Lama has done so many things to split the country, but the central government has no control over his influence. , can only imagine waiting for his death.
However, Zhang Hanqing's bargaining chip at this time was much better than that of later generations, because according to tradition, the names of those who were canonized as "Kutuktu" were recorded in the archives of the Lifan Academy. The reincarnation of their next generation must be approved by the Qing court representative (imperial envoy). ) presided over the ceremony of drawing lots from the golden urn and recognized it. Jebdan Zumba was killed, and before his reincarnation could be manipulated, Mengdi, who had suffered a psychological shock, was already in chaos.
This actually provoked Zhang Hanqing to fight back hard: taking this opportunity to break the unity of politics and religion in Mongolia. Mongolia is a province of the Republic of China, not the private territory of the so-called Living Buddha. He decided that the central government would no longer canonize his reincarnated soul boy
There is also a replacement for Jebtsundamba, and that is Zhangjia Hutuktu. However, traditionally there are two major Hutuktu systems in Mongolia. Mobei Mongolia is headed by Jebzundamba, and Monan Mongolia is headed by Zhangjia Hutuktu. In terms of influence, Zhangjia Hutuktu's influence ranges in Inner Mongolia, which is far less than that of Jebtsundamba in Outer Mongolia, but now it is better than nothing.
Because Zhangjia Living Buddha has a very close relationship with the Qing government, he is in charge of religious affairs in Beijing, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and other places, and has high authority. Before and after Mongolia's independence, he repeatedly used his influence to persuade such behavior. Although the final result was disappointing, he was still a patriotic living Buddha.
He is needed to stand up for Mongolia’s autonomous elections.
In order to legally eliminate the influence of Jebtsundamba, Zhang Hanqing preached throughout Mongolia: "Jebtsundamba colluded with outsiders, plotted to split, openly treason, and used the interests of the Mongolian people as a bargaining chip, and has lost his hubbil." Unexpectedly, the central government has stopped recognizing its Khutubatu status and has punished him as a warning. Since ancient times, princes who break the law are guilty of the same crimes as the common people. We want to build a Mongolia ruled by law and do not allow any Man is above the law.”
The meanings of Hutuktu and "Hubilhan" are similar but actually different. Hutuktu is an administrative title conferred by the government. "Hubilhan" is a practitioner who has been reincarnated but is still ignorant of his true nature. All Hutuktu must be called "Hubilhan"; however, those who practice "Hubilhan" may not necessarily be canonized as Hutuktu.
"The People's Party government respects the beliefs of the Mongolian people. As long as it is patriotic, no matter what sect or belief it is, it will be protected by the government.

This "treacherous" The word cannot be established.
This was the first time in Zhang Hanqing’s life that he used a method similar to “exercise” to purge his dissidents, and he found it extremely refreshing and pleasurable. He later asked himself more than once: "Why am I so depraved? Why do I also use methods that I despise to achieve my goals? Is this the filth of politicians?"
But despite this, he still did it resolutely.
For the sake of the country, he said.
Never use this method, he thought. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Regarding the governance of the Mongols, we must not think that everything will be fine once the central government appoints heads of government who obey orders. You must know that the Mongols have a glorious history of being the first ethnic minority to rule China. They have their own spiritual totem, Genghis Khan, and their own language and writing. It lacks none of these elements that constitute a nation-state. Later it actually established a country.
Even during the Manchu era, the Mongolians were the only ethnic group that nominally occupied the upper class together with the Manchus. From the fact that the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia sit side by side and all the emperors of the Qing royal family have made peace with Mongolia, it can be seen that the political status of the Mongolians is much more important than that of the Han people in the eyes of the Qing government.
In view of their transcendent status in history, the Mongolian people, especially the upper-class dignitaries who have benefited from it, are inherently resistant to the arrival of Fengjun. Although the general herdsmen appear to be detached, they also have knots in their hearts. As long as the soil of Mongolian Zionism exists, it will be possible to achieve the goal in a certain era and under a certain situation. Although countless small ethnic groups in later generations finally established independent countries in name after going through untold hardships, in essence they could only achieve "independence" but not "establishment."
Mongolia is sparsely populated, and herders move around to take care of themselves, making it very difficult to manage. Without a team of cadres who understand the Mongolian language and support centralization, Mongolia's future is still like a time bomb for a small group of careerists.
what to do? It’s easy to say!
In history, countless foreign ethnic groups lived together with the Han people and formed a new nation——the Chinese nation after long-term and stable exchanges. For example, the Zhuang, the largest ethnic minority in China, has been completely Sinicized. Why? Only language and no literature resulted in a lack of inheritance and a change in habits.
Like the Han people, they farm together, eat the same food, speak similar words, receive education together, serve the country together, and work hard to change their living conditions. At this time, does it really matter what ethnic group you are from? At this time, the nation is just a simple symbol, just recording past history. Therefore, Sun Yat-sen's ethnic policy is reflected in the famous saying of the Mongolian compatriots: "Han and Mongolia are of the same species, human rights are inherently innate, and it is appropriate to unite as a group and seek happiness together."
The large farms and pastures being reformed by Zhang Hanqing require stable personnel. How to change the nomadic habits that have been imprinted in the blood of people on the grasslands for thousands of years is the key point.
?It’s actually simple. Only ghosts would be willing to wander around if they could find lush aquatic plants nearby. Isn’t it a good example for later generations of herdsmen to abandon their yurts and move into comfortable high-rise buildings?
"Mongolia has a vast territory and has built dozens, hundreds, thousands, or thousands of large pastures, which are enough to accommodate most herders. And the factories and mines that were subsequently built in the plan would allow many people to change herding to work. Wang Shuhan is implementing this plan step by step according to Zhang Hanqing's idea.
The key is personnel management, which is quite complicated. Because Mongolians don’t have surnames, or strictly speaking, although they do have surnames, it’s more complicated.
In total, every Mongolian has his own surname, some are named after their tribe, some are named after their occupation, some are named after mountains and rivers, etc. After the Northern Yuan Dynasty, in the long historical changes, the Mongols gradually weakened. During this period, except for the Mobei Harakha Mongols, most other Mongolian tribes gradually integrated into Chinese culture.
During the long-term exchanges, especially in the late Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian yamen declined, and the Mongolian people were transferred to the management of Han yamen. At the "request" of the Han yamen, the Mongolians translated a certain syllable in their surname into a Chinese character or "created" a Chinese surname for themselves in other ways: for example, the Mongolian surname Qiyan can have many strange Chinese surnames. , Qi, Qi, Qin, Ji, Chen, Qin, etc.; the Chinese surnames of Nagusi are Na; the Chinese surnames of Kelie Yiti are He, He and so on; the Chinese surnames of Borjijin include Bao, Bao, Bao, Bo, Luo, Bo, Tai, He, etc.
For a long time, Mongolian names and Chinese names have been shared in Mongolia at a high rate. The historically famous Gada Meilin took its surname from the Chinese pronunciation of the word "Mo" in its ancestor Mollettu's "Meng" , whose Chinese name is Meng Qingshan. Regardless of whether Gada Meilin or Meng Qingshan are mentioned in Mengdi, many people know about them.
This is limited to the government level. The lives of ordinary herdsmen have not changed much due to the emergence of such Chinese surnames - they still live in pastoral areas, speak Mongolian that outsiders do not understand, and follow the habits of tribal life and only obey the orders of their respective Taiji. , basically has no connection with the outside world.
It is not racial discrimination. In essence, under modern social conditions, if the Mongolian surname is too long, complex and difficult to remember, it will be difficult to integrate into the future society. Think about how much trouble some inexplicable words in Chinese translation will bring to the text input person, and also seriously affect the efficiency. After all, even the traditional Chinese characters that have been passed down for thousands of years have been simplified. Think about writing or typing "Hongji Lati" and "Tie Liangguti", "Hu He Nao Ru De", will it be a bit overwhelming? Think about modern things like ID cards, credit cards, and phone books in the future. Will it be easy to register them? Is it easy to check? Is it possible to communicate?
The use of Chinese characters is inevitable, and popularizing Chinese has become necessary.
It’s not that Zhang Hanqing has Han chauvinism. In fact, if the vast majority of the Chinese people speak another national language and write in another national font, he would not object to converting the concepts of Mandarin in later generations to that nationality. of the Han nationality. Language exists to facilitate communication, and the Europeans even invented Esperanto!
Chinese characters definitely occupy a dominant position in China. Ever since Qin Shihuang unified the script, Chinese characters have become a systematic, standardized and highly vital script. They are used not only by the Han people, but also by some large ethnic minorities such as Hui, Manchu and Zhuang. , let alone those with a small number of people (of course, let’s not talk about the national characters “created” by later generations).
In addition, Chinese characters are a kind of historical inheritance, inheriting the cultural genes of the Chinese nation. The vast majority of Chinese characters can be understood simply by looking at them, unlike many other foreign languages ??that are composed of words and are expressed purely for the sake of expression. Historically, Southeast Asia, the Korean Peninsula and Japan were deeply influenced by Chinese Confucian culture and actively accepted Chinese characters, thus playing a considerable progressive role in the development of their countries, fully demonstrating its advantages.
Although a single and rare language may bring beauty to the archaeological, historical, cultural and linguist communities, it brings difficulties to international communication and economic development, resulting in backwardness, ignorance, and inability to keep up with the times. Following the trend of world development - the more types of languages, the more translations are needed, and the longer people need to engage in language learning, which is definitely a waste of resources.
This is Zhang Hanqing’s deep experience from learning English in later generations. One of the ways to change it is to try to "train on the same track and write on the same text" while retaining the characteristics of the nation. The first step is to make the languages ????of each nation keep up with the trend of world development.
Therefore, Wang Shuhan, Secretary of the Mongolian Provincial Party Committee, discussed legislation stipulating that herders should choose surnames, namely the "Surname Law", at the first meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee with Nasutu (who was officially elected as the governor at the provincial assembly). Policy is expected to be tricky.
It’s actually really tricky.
In order to relieve people's confusion about choosing surnames, Wang Shuhan convened many Mongolian and Chinese scholars to jointly compile a "Guide to Naming." These great scholars traced their origins and found many clan names from local historical records and took their surnames accordingly. However, the final research showed that most of the Mongolian surnames were originally "given" by the villagers, and some of them have bad meanings, such as "thief" or "home of seven drunkards". Experts estimate that such surnames will not Someone will use it.
After all, it is difficult for ancient traditions to change overnight. In order to minimize the resistance of the Mongolian people, the "Surname Law" allows the Mongolian people to choose the names of historical figures or ancestors as their own surnames. However, more than half of the Mongolians invariably chose the most popular surname in history. The most famous Mongolian historical figure - Genghis Khan's clan name is "Bo'er Jijin". Because of his famous name, he naturally became the first choice "model" for Mongolian people to choose a surname.
According to preliminary estimates, 99% of the Mongolian people have the Chinese surname "Jin" whose surname is "Bo'er Zhijin". This makes Zhang Hanqing laugh and cry, just like the country's surname "Jin" in later generations, and the country's surname "Pu" in South Korea. It comes like this. Although the "Surname Law" is still trudging through difficulties, it has accumulated a lot of rare information for future generations to study Mongolian language and characters. I'm afraid this isn't the young marshal's original intention, right?
Fortunately, with the brilliant achievements of Mongolia’s “suppression of counter-revolutionary” movement, some of the original upper-class people changed the fastest and quickly gave themselves Chinese names. They are all knowledgeable people, and they understand the consequences of going against the state power, both in terms of theory and political situation.
Ordinary herdsmen are very happy. For hundreds of years, their ancestors have not been able to have a name that officially belongs to them. Now in their own generation, it has come true. Although I am illiterate, and although I think Chinese characters are wonderful, I still stare at my name very carefully in the household registration books of various police stations, and some even make gestures with my hands, as if the name is engraved on my heart. Many years later, the older generation of illiterate Mongolians can still clearly recognize and even write their own Chinese names, as if they are engraved in their hearts.
In order to reduce the burden on herdsmen, the federal provincial autonomous government also first implemented five-year compulsory education in Mongolia Province outside the three eastern provinces, because the population here is not large and the cost is acceptable. In this way, from this year on, all Mongolian primary school students began to learn Chinese characters as well.
It’s not that there is no backlash. Some people think that over time, the Mongolian people will be assimilated by the Han people. However, this voice was dismissed by the poor herdsmen. The government is not abandoning Mongolian, it is just increasing the promotion of Chinese. While groups of younger generations are becoming more and more accustomed to using Chinese characters, the fact that they have not abandoned traditional Mongolian culture and promoted it has completely blocked their mouths.
Education and localization, the backward Montenegro gradually caught up with the pace of the mainland and started a new journey.

The military and political construction of the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government is proceeding in an orderly manner under the full planning of the "National Unification Committee". Zhang Hanqing also implemented land reforms similar to those in the three eastern provinces in the areas controlled by Guannei. However, the situation in Rehe made it very difficult to implement land reforms. The main reason for the problem was Tang Yulin, former chairman of Rehe Province and commander of the 5th Fengjun Division.
The Rehe Special Zone originally governed 14 counties and 19 banners with a total of about 6 million people. After Tangshan and Qinhuangdao were added to form the new Rehe Province, the population is no less than that of Heilongjiang. This is the first piece of territory for the Feng dynasty in North China, and it is an important link connecting Northwest, North China and Northeast China - Rehe is a hub inside and outside the Pass, and Chengde, the capital of Rehe Province, is also close to the center of Beijing, so the geographical location is relatively sensitive.
After Zhang Zuolin captured Rehe, in order to show that both the new (young marshal department) and old Fengjun generals were his targets, he put the land of Rehe under the jurisdiction of Fengjun Laolin, and the provincial chairman and commander all It belongs to him.
Tang Yulin, nicknamed "Tang Erhu", was formerly the commander of the 53rd Brigade under Zhang Zuolin. In 1918, he was dismissed by Zhang Hanqing on the spot for gathering troops to make trouble in Shenyang. He later defected to Feng Delin. However, after Feng lost power, he appealed to Zhang Zuolin and asked for reinstatement. After returning to his command, Zhang Zuolin showed his magnanimity and appointed him as the advisor to the Lieutenant General of the Patrol Mission of the Three Eastern Provinces, but the title was empty.
Tang Yulin waited for more than two years to finally become a mother-in-law. After holding two jobs, one person achieved enlightenment, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven. All the brothers and nephews of the Tang family were entrusted with important responsibilities by him.
In the government, the eldest son Tang Zuorong became the director of the Provincial Anti-Smoking Bureau. He was called anti-smoking, but in fact he was engaged in drug trafficking and smuggling to make huge profits; the second son Tang Zuofu was the director of the Provincial Department of Finance, controlling finance and ruthlessly taking away the territory of the people.
In the army, the third brother Tang Yushan served as the commander of the 58th regiment; the fourth brother Tang Yuke served as the commander of the artillery regiment and was eventually promoted to brigade commander; the fifth brother Tang Yushu served as the commander of the cavalry regiment and was eventually promoted to brigade commander; nephew Tang Baofu served as the engineer battalion. The battalion commander, his brother-in-law Xia Weishi was appointed as the battalion commander of the heavy supply camp.
After the Zhi-Wan war, Tang Yulin reorganized the fleeing Anhui troops into two miscellaneous brigades, with a total of 20,000 people. Most of them were ruffians and bandits from Guanhai and remnants of the former Qing Dynasty. Not only was the military discipline ruined, but the equipment was still two years old. Formerly used goods. According to the request, Tang Yulin reorganized the two brigades into an 8,000-strong armed police force, which was also managed by his third brother Tang Yushan.
Relying on Tang Yulin's power, these people colluded and worked together to make money. When the local people mentioned the Tang family, they were frightened and called Tang Yulin the second tiger of Tang.
In order to gradually control Tang Yulin's power, Zhang Hanqing made it clear that the military, political and police departments must also be separated according to the customs system. In this way, Tang Yulin had to relieve the real vacancy of chairman of the Rehe Special Zone.
In view of the unoptimistic situation reflected in Rehe, Tang Yushan is still the commander-in-chief of the Armed Police Force in Rehe. It is difficult for ordinary people to effectively restrain him, so Zhang Zuolin appointed his in-law Song Wenyu, who has rich work experience in the police department, to serve as the commander.
The adaptation carried out by Guo Songling in North China received strong support from Ji Jinchun, who was deeply grateful to Zhang Hanqing for his kindness. Although Ji belongs to the old clan, he is rare and open-minded. The 28th Division under his command is the elite of the Feng Army and has a strong voice within the Feng Faction. Under his influence, the reorganization of Zhang Jinghui's division of another division in the pass, the 16th Division, also went smoothly.
The so-called adaptation basically means adding a new political department and setting it up layer by layer within the original Fengjun command system, and delegating the absolute power of the headquarters to the military committees. It seems very simple, but in fact it is a serious decentralization of power, and the original situation of unfettered top leaders has been significantly changed.
In this way, one after another was taken away from the hands of a piece of the pie, it is strange that Tang Yulin can cooperate. Under the influence of the general, his army's resistance is also very high, and the director of the political department of the 5th Division has been unable to be in place.
As soon as Song Wenyu took over as chairman of Rehe Province, he immediately convened the first provincial government committee meeting of Rehe Province to deploy comprehensive land reform matters. Based on the successful experience within the customs, it is planned to set up more than 100 propaganda teams to go to various places to explain and direct the land reform movement.
Among these teams, there is a team that is inconspicuous and is doing its job of promoting land reform in an orderly manner. Tang Yulin has been operating in Rehe for more than two years, and there are always many eyes and ears watching these teams, so there is no problem with the work of the work team on the table.
But in private, its members are all doing the same thing: investigating what Tang Yulin and the Tang family have done.
Zhao Siyuan is the propaganda team leader in charge of more than a dozen townships in Hedong, Shuangluan County, next to the government. Although he is only 21 years old, he is already an experienced clerk who has participated in the Xinmin land reform and has three years of land reform experience. When he was still studying in college in Shenyang, he was allocated land in his hometown of Xinmin. The village also owed seeds and cattle on credit, which made the originally poor family?The farm family has hope for life, and life is gradually getting better. With gratitude to the autonomous government, after graduation, he took the initiative to participate in various tasks of the Xinmin City Construction Committee and performed well. After organizational assessment, he was absorbed into the Northeast People's Party three years ago.
After Rehe was established as a province, the People’s Party transferred a large number of capable cadres from the northeast, and Zhao Siyuan was one of them. However, at this time, his identity was increased by the position of minister of the Rehe branch of the People's Party's Investigation Department.
No need to be surprised, this position is also found in the People's Party organization of Mongolia Province, and it is a new addition.
As the influence of the "Fengqing Bureau" grows, its layout is not limited to the jurisdiction of the Fengtian Patrol Office, and its role is also growing. But in terms of administrative organization, it is still privately affiliated with the Zhang family and cannot be put on the table.
Zhang Hanqing felt that it needed to be straightened out. National security and public safety are both part of the security system, and it makes more sense to keep it under the jurisdiction of the government than for private use only. The constraints of a person are different from the constraints of a team. Zhang Hanqing does not want it to become the Cheka organization in history.
But it is an organization supported by Zhang Hanqing and is not affiliated with the Federation of Provincial Autonomous Government. It owes much to its own rise but does not want to give it up to others. What should I do?
After much thought, he decided to place the "Information Bureau" within the organization of the People's Party, and changed the low-key name within the party to the "Central Investigation Department of the People's Party", which is affiliated with the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. and the Secretariat. The name is very ordinary. People engaged in intelligence work do not need to be so high-profile. Its method of operation is one team and two systems. Gao Jiyi concurrently serves as the director of the "Feng Intelligence Bureau" and the director of the Central Investigation Department. This is also Zhang Hanqing's idea to enhance Gao Jiyi's status within the party. When the conditions are ripe, it must be returned to government management. This is mature state power.
Although they are young, the people inside are very mature, like Zhao Siyuan, who has several years of experience in intelligence collection. This time the publicity team is just a cover for his work.
The Hedong area he is responsible for is one of the wealthiest places in Shuangluan County. The Luanhe River flows by and fertilizes tens of thousands of hectares of land. It was originally called the "Little Granary of North China". When Tang Yulin was in charge of Rehe, he naturally caught his eye. So the officials and businessmen colluded with the local gentry to plunder and encircle a large area, which was known to the outside world as "land dedicated to the collection of military rations". This was the reason for not paying taxes to the county government for a long time.
In the process of seizing land, people were killed, injured and maimed, shielded and condoned to the point of taking bribes, and hundreds of people were displaced. Zhao Siyuan measured the land openly and secretly collected illegal evidence of Tang Yulin and his gang. However, the common people who were afraid of retaliation openly welcomed the arrival of the working group, but secretly did not dare to reveal their feelings, let alone make the decision on such a big matter.
The propaganda team has its own successful experience. It is an old team with many years of experience in awakening people's consciousness. What's more, there are intelligence officers inside, and they are very patient.
Zhao Siyuan is neither discouraged nor discouraged, knowing that three feet of ice will not last in a day. He visited various villages during the day, and worked with the villagers to measure the land, discuss ways to increase production and income, and improve irrigation conditions. In the evening, he had heart-to-heart talks with the villagers and discussed various government policies. These are things that the public likes to hear and have vital interests in, and some are things that they have never heard of, but they are all willing to listen to him talk about these heart-stirring changes.
Around him, some people slowly gathered. He began to tell the story of the land reform that took place in the Northeast, the principle of equality between officials and citizens, and the government's punishment of local tyrants and bullies. Slowly, some persecuted people came into his sight.
The result is astonishing. The numerous blood debts in the hands of the Tang family are condensed into dozens of large pieces of paper. It is not wrong to describe it as a book that cannot be exhausted!
The reason why Tang Yulin dared to do this was because he relied on his seniority as a veteran of the Fengcian clique and believed that Zhang Hanqing was definitely just showing off. In fact, the land reform in the Northeast had not affected any senior military and political officials of the Fengcian clique. Wu Junsheng, Commander-in-Chief of the Road Guard Army, took advantage of his position to acquire more than 270,000 acres of land and many properties in Zhengjiatun, Tongliao, Taonan, Qiqihar and other places, with no less than 10,000 rental houses. In addition, he also circled a block of land Thousands of hectares of grassland allow him to raise horses (Wu Junsheng raises 3,000 fine horses by himself).
The subsequent planned land reform directly touched the interests of the Tang clan. Tang Yulin's family already owned a large amount of land, and now they had to hand it all over, so naturally they felt unhappy. Moreover, Zhang Hanqing also added a new tobacco tax in Rehe, and the proceeds from land reform were directly handed over to the Provincial State Administration of Taxation, bypassing the Finance Department controlled by Prince Tang. Tang Yulin originally thought that as the Rehe River expanded, he would be able to catch more. However, the Jehol reform plan made him lose almost all the original benefits. This was one of the reasons why Tang Yulin was unhappy. Why were only state officials allowed to set fires and not the people to light lamps?
To this end, he used the power network formed over the years to restrict Rehe's reforms in many ways. On the surface, Song Wenyu is the chairman of Rehe Province, but since the chief executives of various places are trained by Tang Yulin, in fact, his decrees do not leave Chengde City. He once called Zhang Hanqing's nickname after drinking and raved: "Xiao Liuzi is just relying on his reputation as a commander, but Rehe still listens to me." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com)All the officers were trained by Tang Yulin. In fact, his decrees never left Chengde City.

However, he was still a little timid about such bloody evidence. After all, although Zhang Zuolin was born with a beard, he hated his subordinates for disturbing the people. He signaled to Tang Yushan: "Those people from Xiaoliuzi should be more careful."
Paper cannot contain fire. When Zhao Siyuan handed Zhang Hanqing's indictment wrapped in layers of oil paper, stained with the blood and tears of the people of Rehe, into the hands of Zhang Hanqing, the always gentle and elegant young marshal was furious. Before time travel, he could not express his anger at corrupt officials. Once the power is overwhelming, if he cannot redress the injustice of the people, how can he be cynical?
November 17th is the beginning of winter. Zhang Hanqing informed Sun Liechen that a military and political meeting of the foreign clique was held at the Tianjin Municipal Government Office (the temporary headquarters of the North China Army Headquarters), preparing to capture Tang Yulin on the spot. Those designated to attend include Sun Liechen, Commander-in-Chief of the North China Fengjun Army; Liu Shangqing, Mayor of Tianjin; Song Wenyu, Chairman of Rehe Province (both concurrently serve as party secretaries at the same level); Guo Songling, Secretary-General of the People's Party (reinstated) and Chief of Staff of the North China Fengjun Army; The 16th Division commander Zhang Jinghui, deputy division commander and division chief of staff Wu Keren; the 28th Division commander Ji Jinchun, deputy division commander Hu Xianmei, and division chief of staff Jing Youyan; the 5th Division commander Tang Yulin, deputy division commander and commander of the New 2nd Brigade Tang Yuchrome (Tang's fourth brother), Chief of Staff and Commander of the New 11th Brigade Tang Yushu (Tang's fifth brother), etc.
Tang Yulin didn’t know what the plan was, so he readily accepted the order and arrived in Tianjin the night before yesterday.
In the early morning, there is a cool breeze and the sky is high and the clouds are light. Tang Yulin talked and laughed with his two brothers, and drove to the Municipal Government Office under the leadership of the First Battalion of Guards. However, I saw that there were many military police on both sides, armed with live ammunition, and they were heavily guarded. Gu couldn't help but said to Tang Yuke: "This little six is ??just a young boy after all. Why don't we just hold a meeting? Is it worth making such a big fuss?"
Tang Yuke laughed and said, "Brother, I don't know. Tianjin has concessions from all walks of life, and there are all kinds of religions, dragons and snakes mixed together. What kind of land reform did Xiao Liuzi carry out? There are so many people offended. I can't guarantee that there won't be a few people who want to kill him to vent their anger." .”
Under the office building, Zhang Hanqing's guard captain Jiang Huanan met Tang Yulin and said with a smile: "Master Tang has been working hard for a long time. Please let the brothers rest in the wing."
The Zhang brothers surrendered their guns and walked towards the hall under the leadership of Zhang Hanqing's adjutant Tan Hai. His first battalion of guards were led to the other side to rest temporarily. However, he saw that the willow trees on both sides were not moving in the wind, and within a few dozen steps, the winding path leading to the secluded place suddenly became clear, and a dozen of Sun Liechen's personal guards were randomly scattered around at the main entrance of the hall. Tan Hai accompanied them to the door, stopped and said: "The young marshal, the commander-in-chief, mayor Liu, and Chairman Song are already waiting inside. Please go ahead, Mr. Tang. Mr. Ji and the others are expected to arrive soon, and Tan will have to go to greet them again." .”
Tang Yulin was the first to step into the hall, but could not see a single figure. Suddenly, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps moving around, and dozens of armed police officers appeared. Tang Yulin suddenly felt something bad. Before he could struggle, he was pushed to the ground by the two men in front of him. He said angrily: "I am Tang Yulin, the bastard." Suddenly someone slowly said, "The one I caught is your bastard Tang Erhu!" Tang Yulin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
The voice was none other than Gao Jiyi, the director of the "Fengqi Bureau" at the time.
Since Gao Jiyi became the director of the "Fengqi Bureau", he has spread his intelligence network to every corner of Northeast and North China, making Pei Ran successful. In particular, the Fengqing Branch he developed was responsible for the investigation and interrogation of high-ranking military and political officials. In the two years since its establishment, it has solved many major cases, and more than ten high-ranking military and political officials have been arrested, which greatly impressed Zhang Zuolin. Because the Fengqi Bureau has independent trial power (Zhang Hanqing imitated the functions of the Shuanggui and the Procuratorate in later generations and gave it new powers), the independent operation of the "Fengqi Bureau" can greatly strengthen its status. Therefore, the Fengqi Bureau enjoys a special position in the Northeast. Status. As the person in charge, Gao Jiyi has extraordinary power. From Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen, and Wu Junsheng down, everyone changes their color when talking about the Fengqi Bureau.
Tang Yulin knew what he was doing, and when he saw Gao Jiyi personally take action, his heart dropped. If he falls into the hands of the Fengqi Bureau, he will probably lose his skin even if he doesn't die. Tang Yulin shouted loudly: "I want to see the young marshal!" At this time, he suddenly felt that the young marshal he despised was much better than Gao Jiyi. At least the young commander is nostalgic, but Gao Jiyi is famous for not recognizing his relatives.
Gao Jiyi's face was frozen and he said in a deep voice: "You don't have to shout, the young marshal has set off to Chengde to take over your 5th Division headquarters."
Tang Yulin still refused to give up and said loudly: "I want to go to Shenyang to see the commander-in-chief!"
Gao Jiyi smiled slightly and said, "When your matter is settled, I will naturally let you see the commander-in-chief."
At this time, Zhang Hanqing had entered the headquarters of the 5th Division under the escort of Fengjun veteran Ji Jinchun. He successively met with the command's left-behind commander and training director, Major General Zhao Enzhen, and the commander of the 15th Brigade Gao Weiyue, and notified the arrest of the three Tang brothers. The entire plan and reasons. Zhao Enzhen is a veteran of the Northwest Army, and he came here as a result of his previous efforts. Gao Weiyue isThe only brigade commander with a "foreign surname" in the 5th Division had long been dissatisfied with Commander Tang's daily actions, and had secretly reported several times to the "Fengqi Bureau" and Zhang Hanqing. Zhao Enzhen and Gao Weiyue expressed their unconditional obedience to the young marshal's decision and convened an emergency meeting of officers above the battalion in accordance with the plan.
“According to the impression from his previous life, Tang Yulin was an extremely vicious villain who exacted tyranny from the outside world and kowtowed to the Japanese. It's him, in Jiu﹒ When the Japanese army attacked Jehol in 1933 after the August 18th Incident, several of their generals surrendered or fled before any confrontation. They were completely defeated without firing a shot. Zhang Zhangqing hated this kind of national scum the most in his life. It was rare for him to hold great power, and he had a once-in-a-lifetime good excuse to eliminate harm for the people. How long would it take if he didn't clean up these wastes in advance?
The military insignia flashed. Sixty or seventy mid-level and senior military officers gathered together. They didn't know that Zhang Hanqing was here in person, and thought it was another routine meeting. Tang Yulin would hold an emergency meeting to make arrangements whenever he thought of a so-called "big event." The meeting had no feeling. But after sitting down and seeing Zhang Hanqing behind Zhao Enzhen, who was presiding over the meeting, he couldn't help but be shocked.
After Tang Yulin took office for two years, he placed many cronies in important positions in the army. Some of them were well-behaved. When the young marshal arrived in person, but his own general went to attend the so-called young marshal's meeting, they all felt a little ominous. Looking at these worried eyes, Zhang Hanqing was determined to cut through the mess quickly. He looked at his guard captain Jiang Huanan, and seeing him nodding, he said loudly: "I have urgently summoned you all here today to report an important matter: Tang Yulin, the former commander of the Rehe Security Command, took advantage of his position to engage in greedy eating. He was dismissed from his post and escorted to Tianjin in accordance with the order, and his accomplices Tang Yuchrome and Tang Yushu were dealt with together. From now on, all officers and soldiers of the Rehe Security Command are not allowed to leave the camp without permission or violate the order. Those who are punished by military law! During this period, Director Zhao Enzhen and Brigadier Gao Weiyue served as acting chief and deputy division commanders, with full authority to handle command and army reorganization matters."
He took out a list and motioned to Jiang Huanan. Jiang Huanan went out and quickly broke into two teams of armed guards. A total of 22 middle and senior generals including Tang Yulin's nephew Tang Baofu (the commander of the engineering battalion) and his brother-in-law Xia Weishi (the commander of the supply battalion) will be detained one by one. Xia Weishi, who was usually arrogant, did not even say a word, and allowed the guards to take him down. He did not even make a subconscious move to draw a gun during the whole process (Fengjun has not changed his habit in the Northeast, and military meetings are all led by gun enters)!
Zhang Hanqing has also seen many stories of seizing military power in later generations, so he has already made arrangements: except for some of the guard battalions from the original division headquarters who followed Tang Yulin into Tianjin, the rest have been transferred and replaced with their own guards to prevent unexpected changes. . With such a big move, I originally thought there would be fierce resistance and questioning, but I didn't expect that the whole action turned out to be so easy. No wonder later generations of Japanese soldiers succeeded so easily. It turned out that these people were born weak.
He looked at the restless officers and said slowly: "Don't panic, everyone. This operation is only targeting Tang Yulin's associates. We have already investigated clearly, and all the bad deeds have nothing to do with you. After eliminating this group of black sheep, the stability of the army still needs to be relied on. Let's work together." After seeing the panic on everyone's faces gradually disappear, he slowly announced the plan for the 5th Division to be adapted according to the model of the Northwest People's Army. Taking advantage of Tang Yulin's experience, everyone firmly expressed their support. Half a month later, Zhang Zuolin appointed Zhao Enzhen as the new division commander on behalf of the "National Unification Council" and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general.
Once the military problem is solved, the Armed Police Corps will be much simpler. I thought there might be a fight here, but the 8,000 armed policemen in Tang Yushan's hands were not up to the mark in terms of weapons and equipment, but they still had a fighting chance in terms of numbers. Unexpectedly, as the captain of the Armed Police, Tang Yushan was even more stupid. After hearing that his elder brother and two younger brothers had been arrested, he "left" the team without saying a word, without even thinking of informing his two nephews.
In view of the fact that Tang Yulin was a veteran of the Feng clan, Zhang Zuolin had some difficulties in dealing with him: it was not that he had much affection for him——from the Tang Yulin dispute between Feng (Delin) and Zhang (Zuolin) in the sixth year of the Republic of China The secret overthrow of Zhang Xiangfeng aroused his anger. Afterwards, Feng Delin fell, and Tang Yulin was excluded from the decision-making level of the Feng clique for two years. If it were not for the reason of showing magnanimity and fighting for a united front among the Feng clan, Tang Yulin would have disappeared from the political hierarchy from then on.
Although Tang Yulin's popularity was not very good, everyone in the Fengxian dynasty had their own opinions on punishing Tang Yulin. Most of them advocated that he should be dismissed from office. Zhang Hanqing is well aware of the deeper meaning of these arguments: Youdao is the sorrow of the fox when the rabbit dies, and there are many old Feng generals like Tang Yulin. If Tang is severely punished for this, he will follow his example in the future, and it will be difficult for him to speak out when it is his turn.
But how do you stand out among the various warlords in the Republic of China who are riddled with corruption? Of course, being close to the people and supporting them is most popular. If the Feng Faction wants to stand out among the various warlords and eventually take over China, it cannot do so without good discipline and the support of the people. Zhang Hanqing was determined to follow Tang Yulin as an example and kill the chicken to show the monkeys to show his determination to create a teacher of benevolence and justice and an honest administration, so he strongly requested that Tang Yulin be shot to serve as a warning to the world.
In the end, Zhang Zuolin agreed to execute Tang Yulin on the spot in Chengde on the grounds of "corruption, collusion between officials and businessmen, oppression of the people, disregard of human life, and violation of the law", becoming the first heavyweight high-ranking official in the Feng Clan to be dismissed. When the news came, it had a huge impact on all levels of the Fengxian. The common people clapped their hands and applauded, and Fengjun's reputation increased day by day.

Chapter 459 Public and Private
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The purpose of the People's Party is to serve the people, but most of the officials in Liaoning, including the "National Unification Council", came from the Manchu era and became officials in the Republic of China. Their understanding of public rights and private property is very clear: even if I don't Bribery is not tolerated, but the wealth that should be obtained must still be obtained. The property inherited from the ancestors of some wealthy households is very different from that of the poor people. They can be called the generation that got rich first.
This era is full of opportunities, but there are many opportunities for families with good conditions. Economically speaking, they own mines, large amounts of land, shops, and various industrial institutions. The national government is so impoverished that it does not affect their enjoyment of life and debauchery, and ordinary people cannot be seen struggling on the edge of death. This is why Zhang Hanqing used the method of restricting land - if the land annexation is too severe and will endanger the political power, the people must be given a way to survive.
It is indeed true what Tang Yulin said that Wu Junsheng has huge real estate and industry. He used his power to acquire more than 270,000 acres of land and many properties in Zhengjiatun, Tongliao, Taonan, Qiqihar and other places, with no less than 10,000 rental houses. Large-scale residences and family temples were built in Shenyang and Zhengjiatun. His sole proprietorships and joint ventures included grocery stores, banks, pot roasters, grain stores, cinemas and electric lighting factories. He had huge deposits in the bank and a large collection of jewelry. He once proudly stated that he would not let Zhang Zuolin become the richest man in the Northeast.
In fact, Zhang Hanqing knew that Lao Wu's property was still quite inferior compared to his father's. Zhang Zuolin has been in control of Liaoning for more than ten years, and there is not much land: there were only 200,000 land at the beginning. Because he wanted to carry out the "New People's Land Reform" and subsequently carry out land reform in Liaoning and the entire Northeast, he asked his father to take it away a long time ago. Sold. That is a considerable amount of property. In the Northeast, a rich person has 100 acres of land. What is the concept of 200,000 acres of land? That’s 3 million acres!
The money earned was successively invested in some industries. There are some large-scale industries in Liaoning Province, such as oil mills, pawnshops, grain warehouses, textile factories, coal mines, ironworks, power plants, and banks, and Lao Zhang occupies a considerable proportion. Not counting this, he has 4 million in the Bank of Korea, 2 million in Zhengjin Bank, 10 million in Tianjin, 10 million in Shanghai HSBC Bank, 1 million Liaoning Manyin Bank, Liaoning Zhenglong There are 1.5 million yuan in bank notes, and the total private property is more than 200 million yuan.
Other high-level officials of the Feng Clan are not willing to give in too much. According to historical records, 71 senior members of the Feng Clan own a total of 630 million yuan in property! At that time, the world was still in the era of the gold exchange standard. One gram of gold could be exchanged for 6.2 taels of silver, 7 yen, and 9 silver dollars. This was the private property of 70 tons of gold!
Although the Northeast’s finances have improved greatly due to their own efforts, it is still too slow for overall improvement. The gold they robbed is just gold, what they have is real assets! Something that makes money! Because they are privately owned, they care more about the return on their assets than themselves. If all this money can be invested in the Northeast New Deal that I have planned, and everyone works together, it will be a huge help!
Land reform and the New Deal are not intended to bring Liaoning into communism. This is unrealistic and unreasonable. A simple confiscation of assets will instantly wipe out all your efforts to travel through time: Why are so many people willing to sacrifice their lives for Zhang Zuolin? It’s not just about money! Zhang Hanqing doesn’t think they have such noble sentiments and their ability to serve the people wholeheartedly from the bottom of their hearts!
Competition is the foundation of social development. In addition to ensuring basic people's livelihood and achieving social justice, whether life can be better depends on the joint efforts of all walks of life. The government cannot do everything, otherwise we will return to the era of people's communes. Moreover, as history developed to the day I traveled back in time, China was as divided between rich and poor as in Western countries, and it did not even have a large middle class to stabilize society. This has nothing to do with the system, but is the profit-making nature of capital. Facts and studies by scholars have proven that the right to speak in modern society is in the hands of those with economic power. He does not exclude the rich, but he believes that the super-rich who work hard to make positive contributions to society have their own value. Used well, it can be a powerful boost for China.
Zhang Hanqing deliberately gathered their private property into a whole and formed a commercial and industrial trust to increase the fengxing or weak Chinese capital to confront foreign countries, mainly the Japanese in the Northeast. In the future, he will use it to fight against his domestic opponents. They fight. Because if we don’t form a group, in the real world where capital is king, going it alone, primitive and backward workshop-style production and old-fashioned management methods will not make China stronger. As the Feng clan gradually grew stronger, they became stronger together with the Feng clan and tied them firmly to their chariots.
After many efforts, especially the understanding of Feng Clan bosses Zhang Zuoxiang, Wu Junsheng, and Sun Liechen, a series of modern asset integrations were carried out within the Feng Clique, with these bosses taking the lead.
??All middle and high-level people within the Feng clan, no matter who they are, cannot own more than 5 acres of land per capita (10 acres in Heilongjiang). The excess land will be taxed in strict accordance with the regulations. In any case, land related to the most basic national economy and people's livelihood and the basis of political power will not be allowed to be controlled by any monopoly group for any reason in the future. This is the national foundation and the minimum fairness. The people do not worry about being few, but worry about injustice. This is a thousand-year lesson.
For this reason, Zhang Hanqing enforced the property registration system, setting a precedent for the construction of a clean government in China. Due to limited conditions, it is only stipulated to the county magistrate level, but Zhang Hanqing is confident that it will be implemented in the future to all government staff and managers of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises.
What should I do with property acquired due to historical reasons? If this problem is not solved properly, the Fengtian faction will run the risk of turbulence or even internal division! Zhang Hanqing actually had countermeasures in mind: selling off his property, investing in banks or various industries.
In order to increase the enthusiasm of the top executives of the Fengcian clique to invest in shares, Zhang Hanqing and Zhang Zuolin also decided after private discussions that for shareholders who invest in various trusts and banking industries, property declarations do not need to be announced. However, fixed assets such as houses, excess land, and personal mines must be declared. Whether you want your property to be legal or whether you want to play hide-and-seek and gamble your luck is up to you. But if you have a huge amount of property with unknown origins, then I'm sorry - the government has provided you with a channel to launder your wealth.
Many people in the Feng clan welcomed the young marshal's idea: as Zhang Hanqing said, they all had a lot of unidentified property and industry: when they were bandits, they robbed, blackmailed, deceived and so on. As officials, there is collusion between officials and businessmen, and bribery They also have no ability to run industries. The path Zhang Hanqing gave them saves them a lot of thinking: they can get dividends based on the shares they receive, and they don't have to worry about the past, which is equivalent to writing it off. Moreover, given the size of the trust and the fact that the big bosses account for the majority of it, this share is relatively safe - with the government behind it.
Following Zhang Zuolin's example, all external deposits will be invested in the Northeast Bank, Northeast Agricultural Bank, Northeast Industrial Bank or Northeast Communications Bank under the control of the Northeast Autonomous Government | The industries under each person's name will be integrated into various businesses based on existing capital. Groups, industrial group trusts. In order to raise funds, these banks and industries were listed on the Harbin Stock Exchange.
The so-called trust simply means a monopoly in the same industry. It was originally a trust management agreement, that is, I leave my assets to you for safekeeping, and you can actually control them. Later, it evolved into a coalition of the same industry, and when it reached a certain scale, it became a monopoly.
The reason for using the form of a trust is that most of these shareholders are big bosses and have no ability to manage increasingly large assets (Zhang Hanqing predicts that its scale will be very large, and as the Feng clan expands across the country, its development will will expand more and more), it needs professional personnel to handle it, and cannot be allowed to be mixed up by people like them.
Companies participating in trusts have lost not only their commercial independence, but also their production and legal independence. All internal operations, such as production, sales and profit distribution, are handled by the trust's leadership body - the board of directors and its affiliated institutions. Participants can only gain control of the trust by owning a large number of stocks - In fact, it is impossible, because in many industries, Zhang Zuolin's explicit capital and his own implicit capital will have undisputed leadership.
You must know that many factories and mines in the Northeast are owned by Zhang Hanqing personally and by the former Guard divisions, and are largely owned by banks. Fortunately, banking is Zhang Hanqing's strong point: in addition to controlling Northeast Agricultural Bank, Yu Aozhou also bought shares in Northeast Bank and is the president of this bank. His relationship with Yu Aozhou's uncle is not a secret. Besides, he and Yu Fengzhi also have 10% shares here. After Zhang Huilin chose to be the director of the Financial Commission, which regulates banking, securities and other businesses, in order to avoid suspicion, it was a matter of course for Yu Aozhou to take over.
? 100 tons of gold reserves are enough for Zhang Hanqing to become the largest shareholder of Northeast Industrial Bank, Northeast Bank of Communications, and Northeast Agricultural Bank. But he keeps a low profile so that the outside world doesn't know about it.
Under the favorable conditions and the coercion of the system, the entire Fengxian family invested in or delivered enterprises at a discount, forming a spectacular integration of the industrial and banking industries. In this way, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing not only have undisputed leadership positions politically and militarily, but also economically, because of their huge capital, they have become the leaders of the Feng Faction Group, forming a situation where everyone is prosperous and everyone suffers. interest groups.
Northeast Steel Group, Northeast Coal Group, Northeast Electric Power Group, Northeast Grain and Oil Group, Northeast Railway Group, Northeast Tobacco Group, Northeast Salt Group, Northeast Tractor Group, Northeast Machinery Group, Northeast Shipping Group, Northeast Textile Group, and Northeast Rubber Group Twelve trusts were formed in batches These industrial groups were established one after another. Their large scale and number of companies involved were rare in the history of the Republic of China.
The gradually growing industrial and commercial enterprise groups have given the Feng Clan a considerable advantage in external competition. The shareholders who have tasted the sweetness of being in a group have become grasshoppers on the same string as the Zhangs and their sons, which has also strengthened the Zhangs and their sons' position in the Feng Clan. status.

Chapter 460 Ambition

Although this kind of group formed by common economic interests sounds disgraceful, Zhang Hanqing does not feel dissatisfied. People die for wealth, birds die for food, people follow Zhang Zuolin to conquer the world, why are they here? The emperor in feudal society still knew how to win over his subordinates by conferring titles to princes and worshiping prime ministers, so what if he used some means?
He once thought about using the lofty ideal of Sanpanzhuyi as a link, and indeed brought out a group of loyal People's Party members. However, for those with vested interests such as the Lao Feng clan, talking about dedication to them is equivalent to talking to others. China will be a country governed by the rule of law in the future, so these people will not be able to stay on stage forever, and sooner or later they will transfer power to others.
So, are they willing? Can the new people who come to power be guaranteed to be stronger and nobler than them? From the perspective of someone who has experienced this, this is not necessarily the case. The so-called democratic countries that the West flaunts, such as the United States, are still a plutocracy. No matter how lively the presidential election is on the surface, one fact cannot be shaken: the candidates are still their agents. Even in China in later generations, laws are made by a group of vested interests, such as real estate, which has been out of control for more than ten years, China Railway, China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom, as well as countless large state-owned enterprises that control the national economy and people's livelihood. The background is not simple.
In this case, wouldn’t it be better to let these brothers who conquer the world take over the world and even use their resources to continue to have influence on China’s politics and economy? As long as we use laws to restrict their behavior, try to create a relatively fair competitive environment, and protect the interests of low-income people, thus reflecting political clarity and stabilizing the country, it will not be a problem.
Didn’t Long Yongtu say that to achieve social stability, we only need to do three things: “Let the upper class never relax, let the middle class never be satisfied, and let the lower class never despair”? These older generations who currently hold huge assets, as long as he dares to mess around, they have enough strength to beat him back into the dust! A secret you should know is that as the Northeast Bank with the status of "Central Bank", the Zhang family owns 45% of the shares with part of the gold!
Northeastern Bank controls three other major banks and indirectly owns important shares in 12 trusts, forming a huge financial empire. As long as China's political system ensures that private property is not infringed and as long as the economic structure he designed is not negated, he and his successors will always have a pivotal position in China!
As for whether the trust will become too big in the future, Zhang Hanqing believes that this is not a problem. When the country is unified in the future and the People's Party truly takes the leadership of the political power, it will gradually nationalize some industries that are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, possibly through redemption or other methods, and trusts will continue to develop because they are economic the trend of development.
Although modern society has declared trusts illegal in some Western countries, contrary to antitrust laws that represent public interests, there are not a few modern companies that regard trusts as their business direction. Because very large groups can hold huge profits due to monopoly, increase investor interest, stimulate investment, promote business expansion, and are conducive to economic development.
In fact, in socialist countries, trusts are also one of the organizational forms of enterprises. They were established in China from 1963 to 1964. Moreover, China's ultra-large state-owned enterprises are unparalleled in their profound influence on the country and their penetration into national life. Tools are in people's hands, and they don't matter whether they are good or bad. Just like market economy, capitalism has it, and socialism can also have it.
Precisely because he had sufficient confidence, he began to sound the clarion call to fully seize the influence of the Feng clan.
As the People's Party's influence in various parts of the Fengcian clique grows, no one in the three northeastern provinces can stop this expanding trend. Zhang Zuoxiang, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People's Party, proposed: In the Northeast, comprehensively carry out the People's Party's lead. After witnessing the young marshal's various political, economic and military methods, Zhang Zuoxiang completely believed that Zhang Hanqing would be the unsuspecting successor of the Feng Dynasty, and began to advocate for establishing his status.
It is a good move for Zhang Zuoxiang to take the lead. You can take advantage of the momentum, or you can humbly retreat to the starting point when the wind is not going in the right direction. However, the success of the matter made Zhang Hanqing doubt its authenticity - he was too modest about his own strength.
After the biggest cancer in the North China Army was eliminated, the military world was in great decline. Zhang Hanqing was able to fully control the two large armies in North China and Northwest China. The attack and success against Tang Yulin, the veteran of the Fengjun Army, marked that the young marshal had occupied the highest position beyond Zhang Zuolin. As we all know, Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen have always agreed with various arrangements for the young marshal to succeed the commander-in-chief, but Wu Junsheng was the only one who followed Zhang Zuolin's lead and was his powerful helper outside the customs.
Many of the elders of the Fengxi faction have been members of the People’s Party for a long time: Mo Dehui, Liu Shangqing, Wang Yongjiang, Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang, and even Zhang Zuolin were among the first batch of party members.?Other generals also joined in one after another under the example of the old and young marshals, but there is still a question mark whether they can faithfully implement the party's decision-making. There are now more than 100,000 party members in the entire Northeast, and more than 10,000 in the northwest provinces. Among the military divisions that have established political departments, the People's Army has 5 divisions, and 3 have been reorganized by Guo Songling outside the Pass, together with the divisions under Jiang Deng's control. Among the 27 divisions among the contestants, there are already 9, which is also more than the number of divisions that have not been accepted: 6.
Whether to establish a political department is actually a matter of whether to obey the leadership of the young marshal, and it is also the indicator of whether Zhang Hanqing can successfully take over in the future. In this sense, Zhang Zuolin had long felt the need to push Zhang Hanqing, and now it was time to do so.
On December 12, at the Northeast Lecture Hall Auditorium in Shenyang, the People's Party held its second national congress to elect the new leadership of the party and the army, establishing the young marshal's successor status. And "consolidate the rear, advance the front, defend the local area, and support the Central Committee." as the party's policy of action in the new period. This was after careful consideration by several veterans and young marshals, and was recognized by most of the high-level officials of the Feng family.
"Consolidating the local areas" means using the three provinces outside the Northeast Pass as the economic and political foundation for the Fengcun and the People's Party to seize national power in the future, and using sufficient financial and material resources to ensure the advancement of the frontline troops, that is, "gathering grain widely";
"Advance the front" means using the People's Army and the Fengjun outside the Pass as two iron fists to seize opportunities to expand outward;
"Defending the place" is for the Japanese. The Fengjun in Guan Nei must use all means to strangle the Japanese penetration into the northeast, that is, "build a high wall" to make the Northeast the base camp for the Fengtian clique to advance across the country;
"Supporting the Central Committee" means still recognizing the legal and rational status of the Beijing cabinet government, so as not to directly stimulate the British, American and Japanese agents in China, and temporarily staying away from their fights, that is, "slowly becoming king".
The Feng clan has used Zhu Yuanzhang's method of founding the country to interpret their status in China from a new height. They have set their sights further afield. With their current strength, for the first time they have the idea of ????taking the title of Central Committee. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

At this meeting, the People's Party revised the party constitution, elected a new Central Committee, and added two institutions on this basis: the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and the Standing Committee of the Central Committee. Since then, the Political Bureau, Standing Committee, and Secretariat have become the core decision-making layers of the People's Party.
Because of the increase in territory, the Central Committee has been greatly expanded this time. The number of Central Committee members has increased from 10 to 58 now. Basically, the division commanders of each division, the chief of bodyguards of the Zhang family and his son, the provincial party committee secretaries of each province (for special reasons, the provincial governor is temporarily appointed as the governor, except for Mongolia), and the deputies of the functional agencies actually responsible for the specific affairs of the Central Committee. Selected.
There are 21 members of the Politburo: Zhang Hanqing, Zhang Zuolin, Sun Liechen, Wu Junsheng, Zhang Zuoxiang, Han Linchun, Guo Songling, Wang Yongjiang, Liu Shangqing, Mo Dehui, Jiang Dengxuan, Wang Yizhe, Gao Jiyi, Zhu Guangmu, Wu Jiaxiang, Ji Yiqiao, Han Shuxiu, Pan Fu, Yu Ao Zhou, Yuan Jinkai, Chen Bui. Among them, 11 are in the military circles, 6 are in the political and financial circles, and only 4 hold purely internal positions in the People's Party. (The above is sorted by actual status and influence, not by position within the party).
The candidates for the Politburo | Standing Committee, which were formed according to the odd number principle, are as expected: Zhang Hanqing, Zhang Zuolin, Sun Liechen, Wu Junsheng, and Zhang Zuoxiang.
Subsequently, a new Central Military Commission of the People's Party was born. In order to respect Zhang Zuolin's huge appeal, although many new and old members believed that Zhang Hanqing was not worthy of hope as chairman, he still resigned from this position and "proposed "Served by Zhang Zuolin.
After the election, 10 people including Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Hanqing, Sun Liechen, Wu Junsheng, Zhang Zuoxiang, Han Linchun, Guo Songling, Jiang Dengxuan, Wang Yizhe, and Ji Jinchun were members of the Military Commission, Zhang Zuolin was the chairman, and four people, including Zhang Hanqing, Sun Liechen, Wu Junsheng, and Zhang Zuoxiang, were the vice-chairmen. Zhang Hanqing also Training Director.
Jiang Baili was not selected due to seniority reasons, but was appointed chief of general staff.
The meeting also decided that the "National Unification Committee" will carry out its work in a unified manner under the leadership of the People's Party, and its focus will also turn to unifying the country. In view of the high degree of "autonomy" in the 11 provinces of the Fengtian system, it is imperative to establish a higher-level unit above the business departments of each province to unify the entire region.
The original professional committees, such as the Agriculture Committee, already had a nominal conflict with the Administrative Committee that later took charge of the general affairs. Therefore, except for the "National Unification Committee" and the four committees of Administration, Planning, Military, and National Defense Science, Technology and Industry, all other committees were retained. Change name. As a result, a "general office" emerged between the central government and various provincial departments. The General Department of Transportation, the General Department of Finance, the General Department of Education and the ministries of the Central Committee are just nouns. But in any case, this is not overstepping the mark.
Zhang Zuolin is still the chairman of the "National Unification Committee", with Wang Yongjiang and Zhang Hanqing as vice-chairmen.
This election did not change Zhang Hanqing's declining status within the Fengjun and People's Army, but instead strengthened his status. Because of the decision of the Military Commission, the merger of the Fengjun Army and the People's Army was suspended, and the two teams operated separately: Zhang Zuolin continued to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun Army, and Zhang Hanqing also continued his career as the commander-in-chief of the People's Army. Because of his concurrent duties as Vice Chairman of the Military Commission and Director of Training, he has become one of the five highest-ranking commanders in the Fengjun Army: Marshal Zhang, Marshal Sun, Marshal Wu, and Marshal Wu.
The first four are already old, but his career is still booming. In addition, he officially became Zhang Zuolin's deputy in administration. Compared with his previous limited positions of half-military and half-government, such as general counselor and chairman of the land reform committees of the three northeastern provinces, the title of "vice-chairman of the government" marks Zhang Hanqing's political status. of elevation.
Furthermore, Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen, and Wu Junsheng, the big bosses of the Fengcian army, failed to make any progress in their administrative positions. Instead, civilian officials took complete control of the situation, which shows that Zhang Zuolin's political methods have become superb. He basically completed his simple understanding of "military generals conquer the world and civilian officials rule the world" in the Northeast.
The headquarters of the People’s Party, all provinces and departments, cities, counties and townships are officially listed together with government units at the same level. All localities use the achievements of Xinmin administrative management practice as a blueprint to establish similar administrative structures. Provinces, cities and counties have established a modern parliamentary system in which the secretary of the People's Party at the same level also serves as the speaker, and preparations for directly elected members have begun at the county level.
??????????????????????? On the surface, the veterans of the Feng faction hold important positions in the Kuomintang, but according to historical reviews, this is the beginning of the young marshal’s succession. Because almost all key positions in the Fengcheng People’s Army and the Fengjun Army are controlled by the marshal line:
Jiang Deng was elected as the director of the General Political Department of the People's Army, and controlled the rewards, punishments, promotions and thoughts of all Fengjun and People's Army officers. Controlling the army, especially the main generals, is his main job, because all the generals' security forces are directly under the jurisdiction of the political department at the same level. You know the power of this. Not only that, the most important military supervision team on the battlefield and the most important military police force in peacetime are both controlled by the Political Department;
Han Linchun was promoted to NorthwesterOn the issue of military and organizational structure, it was unanimously decided that in view of the reality of inconvenient transportation between the People's Army and Fengjun Army, the names of the People's Army and Fengjun Army will remain unchanged, and the organization will not be changed for the time being. However, when conditions permit, all Fengjun Army and Fengjun Army will The People's Army will have full artillery regiments. In addition, the equipment and baggage ministries were integrated into the Munitions Department. Mi Chunlin was the General Munitions Minister of the People's Army, and Niu Yuanfeng was the General Munitions Minister of the Fengjun Army. They unified the replenishment of military equipment with Jiang Baili of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and Yang Wenkai, Supervisor of Shenyang Arsenal.
It took Zhang Hanqing four full years to help his father get started, and finally built a relatively strong faction. In the process, he gradually took control of the military power and political power, started his own system of the People's Army and the People's Party, and eventually It has been an extremely difficult process to replace the old Feng clan and become a new force in modern Chinese history.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The promotion of official posts by the people in the clique, even at the worst, can result in financial benefits. Only one person felt a huge loss.
This person is Yang Yuting.
He used to be a powerful figure in the Northeast, but because of a careless move, he was cast down from heaven. After being "dispatched" outside the customs for more than two years, if he hadn't taken the initiative to find Zhang Hanqing, his name would have been forgotten.
There are so many capable people in the Fengtian system now, and there are people who can stand alone in almost every field. In this People's Party election, the list of Politburo members has actually told people the twenty-one most powerful people in the party, and each one of them is worthy of his name.
Yang Yuting has nothing to say. In terms of public service, he is not even a member of the People's Party, so there is no possibility of being elected; in terms of merit, these elected figures all have certain strengths, and he has not made any great achievements in the past few years.
Mi Chunlin, the Minister of Supplies of the People's Army, has made such great contributions. He single-handedly protected Marshal Anmeng and conquered the northwest. He was a veteran and member of the Military Commission during the founding stage of the People's Party. He was also sadly defeated in this election. Of course, Zhang Hanqing also gave a very high evaluation and told everyone clearly: it is not Lao Mi's fault, it is that he took the overall situation into consideration and gave up this opportunity in order to attract the top figures of the Feng clique to join the People's Party.
Like Jiang Baili, he has received unanimous praise since joining the Fengcian faction. He was only elected as a member of the Central Committee of the People's Party this time purely because of his qualifications. There will be no doubt about his election in the next election. Moreover, it was said that Zhang Zuolin expressed his comfort to him after the meeting. This was because Zhang Zuolin was in the emperor's heart. In fact, it is no wonder that he is favored, what he does is very impressive.
The Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense has done a lot recently: In order to enable each division to have strong divisional firepower, at the request of Zhang Hanqing, Jiang Baili actively organized and invested huge sums of money in the development of large-caliber cannons, and it is said that some success has been achieved. His greater contribution was the generalization and popularization of Fengjun's more powerful artillery, the howitzer. This greatly increased the strength of Fengjun, and Zhang Zuolin was also confident in his negotiations with Japan.
?????????????????? But Yang Yuting didn’t take it coldly. He believed that the credit belongs to himself and Zhang Hanqing, and Jiang Baili just got lucky and just enjoyed the fruits of victory. As far as he knew, the original Feng system only had mountain artillery and field artillery. Only after Zhang Hanqing actively introduced production lines and invested heavily did he have such a brand-new 75mm howitzer production line.
But there was one thing he had to accept, and that was Jiang Baili's vision.
In order to provide ammunition to the Northwest People's Army nearby, he arranged to open the Lanzhou Ordnance Factory in Lanzhou as a supplement to the Shenyang Arsenal. The initial plan is to produce ammunition and have the ability to provide repair and maintenance for various types of cannons, and to manufacture rifles, machine guns and bullets in batches. Lanzhou was originally the barrier and throat of the northwest, and it occupies a very important strategic position. He still wanted to help Zhang Hanqing lay the foundation of Lanzhou so that the People's Army could make great achievements in the northwest in the future.
Keeping up with Zhang Hanqing’s forward-looking thinking, with the strong support of Jiang Baili, the Harbin Marine Boiler Turbine Research Institute, which is preparing for future large ships, was successfully completed. Although it was costly and slow to produce results, Jiang Baili still sided with the young marshal in the dispute between the old and young marshals and encouraged it vigorously.
There are also a series of chemical plants, the Northeast Machine Tool Manufacturing Factory in Changchun Everything he can think of has a place in Jiang Baili's plan. These industrial systems, which are aimed at improving the civilian and military levels of the Fengxian, are being carried out in an orderly manner. The "complete range" industrial policy proposed by Zhang Hanqing has been well implemented under his leadership.
With his efforts, the full divisional artillery regiment was equipped with six divisions by the end of 1920, and each of the remaining divisions was equipped with an artillery battalion within the framework of the artillery regiment. As the Feng clan's economy took off, more money was available for armaments, so even though the Shenyang Arsenal had increased its horsepower, it was still not enough.
Based on this alone, it is not luck that Jiang Baili is favored by both the old and young marshals.
It is precisely because of this that Yang Yuting feels a deep sense of crisis. Originally, he thought that by setting up a line with Zhang Hanqing and getting back into Zhang Zuolin's sight, Zhang Zuolin could regain Zhang Zuolin's recognition of him based on his previous achievements. He also wanted to be the General Counselor and the Governor-General of the Arsenal.
It now seems that Jiang Baili may not have enough experience in leading troops, but the general counselor is fully qualified. Even his position as chief of general staff has basically become a high-ranking adviser due to the formation of several major military groups, but he has just used his strengths. In this way, Yang Yuting will never be able to get ahead. Now he only holds the position of Director of the Political Affairs Office at the Inspection Mission.
So he found Zhang Zuolin and asked for reuse.
Zhang Zuolin is a nostalgic person, otherwise he would not forgive Tang Yulin for continuing to reuse him after his defection. But now there are toilets and pits within the Fengtian department, and people in various positions are already in place, and they are all performing well. You can't just drive them away to accommodate Yang Yuting, right?
If you have any difficulty, please find the young commander. Zhang Zuolin is now accustomed to leaving difficult problems to Zhang Hanqing, and he has always done a good job - since he brought Yang Yuting back, it is his business to arrange it properly! So, in front of Yang Yuting, he called Zhang Hanqing.
"Xiao Liuzi, Ling Ge is from a military background, so it won't be a big deal for him to be assigned to the Government Affairs Office after he comes back. The 26th Division of the Northwest Army is still short of a division commander. What do you think about assigning him to do it?"
The 26th Division is the cavalry division originally led by Jian Yiqiao, and has been stationed in Kulun. After the chief general of the Northwest People's Army was transferred, Ji Yiqiao was promoted to deputy commander, and the position of division commander had just been vacated. With Yang Yuting's qualifications, it is unfair to be the division commander, but now there is no better position in the army than this. Because the People's Army is Zhang Hanqing's private territory, Lao Zhang has to discuss it with his son if he wants to do this.
Zhang Hanqing also thought that he was overqualified and said: "Commander, the General Counselor is a person who is responsible for his own job and has a veteran qualification. Doesn't asking him to be the division commander make it difficult for Han Linchun and his subordinates and make his subordinates feel discouraged? I have a new position. During this time, I have a new position. I have always been confused and don’t know where to start. With the ability of the General Counsel, I am definitely capable of doing the job, but I don’t dare to trouble the General Counsel.”
He spoke politely and praised Yang Yuting so that he would not be embarrassed by having to rely on his former subordinates to "find a job." In fact, what else? As an emperor and as a courtier, sooner or later the old marshal will fall under the young marshal's command.
Yang Yuting really doesn’t want to be that teacher: firstly, he is far away from the home of the Feng family and feels marginalized, and secondly, it is really difficult to accept being suppressed by juniors. Zhang Hanqing said this, which made his face brighter, and he immediately developed the feeling that a scholar would die for his confidant.
There is no doubt that the position that gives Zhang Hanqing a headache must be an important position.
"Young Marshal, you know that I have done something as difficult as Fengtian Arsenal. I don't believe there is anything more difficult. As long as you tell me, I will complete it successfully." He quietly emphasized his contribution , and put on a high profile regardless of conditions, which really impressed Zhang Zuolin.
"Linge, you have a good attitude. Keep going. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me directly." The problem was solved and he was in a good mood, but he still didn't know what his position was.
"The General Counsel knows that the commander-in-chief has assigned me the management of the Air Force Preparatory Office, but I am about to go to the northwest front, and Director Feng is going to Italy for inspection, so this mess is piled here. Maybe you think that the Air Force is nothing. As a leader, there are not many people and the structure is not large, so I may feel that my talents are limited. But I have high hopes for this area and look forward to its great development." Zhang Hanqing added.
"Oh, it's the Air Force," Yang Yuting was a little disapproving. He has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run away. As the most knowledgeable person in the Feng clan, he is no stranger to the new weapons emerging on the front lines of the European War. The airplane was born in World War I and became famous only in World War II. He had seen it before, but he still didn't know how useful it was.
He knew that Zhang Hanqing had given great support to this preparatory office. On the one hand, he sent Feng Yong to study all the way. Before the air force structure was established, he had already set up the staff section, political section, and military supplies section in the preparatory office. Branch and an Air Force Research Institute. In addition, they also paid for the establishment of an air force school in Qinhuangdao. I heard that the students were all selected from the top graduates of the Northeast Jiangwu Hall student brigade. This cost was very high. Because the student brigade in the Northeast Martial Arts Hall started out as trainee platoon leaders when they were assigned to the military after graduation, but it is a waste in itself to go back to study in the Air Force.
Yang Yuting needs to know more: "Young Marshal, I have heard of this Air Force. I wonder what your position is on it?"
Zhang Hanqing knew that he was a little tempted, but he still needed encouragement. This was like asking a manager-level person to take charge of a pilot production line. No matter how high it was, it would make people unhappy.
"In the short term, the status of the Air Force will be alongside that of the Northeast Aviation Police Department, but within the foreseeable five years, it will receive much higher investment than the Aviation Police Department. I estimate that it will not be long before it is qualified to become the new aviation police department on its own. In the long term, it will be on par with the army."
Yang Yuting’s heart was pounding. "Tie with the Army" is a stimulant sentence that he can't get rid of. For many years, his dream goal was to establish his own army and become a pole alongside Sun Liechen. If it hadn't been for the incident in Tianjin, he should have been able to achieve this goal. As for Wu Junsheng and Zhang Zuoxiang, their qualifications are not as good as his.
This is the only chance to highlight yourself in the Feng system! If it is true as the young marshal said, he is just like the coach of one side, this bet is worth making!
He immediately expressed his position and said: "Young Marshal has this ambition, and I, Yang Yuting, will definitely try to achieve it. However, I lack experience in this area, so I would like to ask Young Marshal to give me guidance." I dare not speak too highly of new things. But because it was Zhang Hanqing who proposed it, he should have a clue in his mind. It would be better if he communicated with him more, and it might be possible to deepen the relationship.
"Okay! The General Counselor's ability to coordinate the overall situation is the best among us. With you coming forward, there is a lot to be done in the construction of the Air Force. In this way, Director Feng will leave, and his position will be temporarily taken by you. We will discuss it again when he comes back." Zhang Hanqing said excitedly.
The Air Force is a new thing, and because of the new life, there are endless opportunities. Determining the team in advance also lays the foundation for the future. Basically keeping pace with the development of the world's air forces, will the Chinese Air Force have a brilliant future? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)It's good to communicate, and it can also deepen the relationship or the unknown.

Chapter 463 Achievements of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense

Yang Yuting was also very excited. Zhang Hanqing's Marshal's Office currently has six offices, and three of them, Chen Bui, Zhu Guangmu, and Gao Jiyi, are members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, and their standards are already very high. Now that I am acting as a division chief, does this mean that I have been included in the echelon of young marshals? At least in terms of rank, he had already stepped into Zhang Hanqing's inner circle.
Zhang Zuolin was also relieved. He knew that since Tang Yulin was shot to death by Xiao Liuzi, the awe of Tang Yulin among the people in the department had risen to a certain level. Now that he has the majesty of a superior, he naturally does not need to mingle with his original partners. Appropriate respect is also appropriate, but it is not good to create barriers because of this. Especially Yang Yuting, who is capable and responsible, but if he doesn't use it well, it will have a bad impact if he leaves again or fails to work hard.
It just so happened that Yang Yuting’s incident gave him a turning point. It is also a kind of betrayal. If you arrange it well, it will send a signal: He, Lao Zhang, still values ??friendship and humanity.
Zhang Hanqing’s arrangement is neither too high nor too low, just right. At a large level, this is a service that is on par with the Army, with a distinguished status; at a small level, it is just a division chief, with little influence, and needs the support of Zhang Hanqing and himself to be effective.
He secretly praised in his heart: "This pie is painted well. I haven't seen you for a few days, and Xiao Liuzi has made progress again." However, he said: "I fully support the development of the Air Force. It requires people to give people and money. If you give us money, we must get it done." In fact, so far, his understanding of the role of the air force is limited to using aircraft for reconnaissance.
"Zhang Hanqing didn't expect his father, a big boss, to pay attention to the Air Force, as long as it didn't cause trouble, it was just what he wanted now. So I just pretended to praise him and strike while the iron was hot: "With the words of the commander-in-chief, I believe that the construction of the Air Force will definitely reach a higher level. I don't think there is any need for an agent for the General Counsel. He will take office today. When Brother Feng comes back, he will establish the first Let’s build an air force and make him the chief of staff.”
Zhang Zuolin could not help but nod: "If this works, let's do it!" He had a carefree temperament, but he was also vigorous and resolute in his work. He signed the letter of appointment immediately after returning his signature.
During the Beiyang government period, military positions above lieutenant general basically corresponded to special civilian appointments, those above colonel corresponded to brief appointments, lieutenant general and major corresponded to recommended appointments, and lieutenant officers corresponded to appointed appointments. Appointments of special and short-term officials must be submitted to the President with the seal of the Ministry and be announced at any time.
Yang Yuting was originally a lieutenant general. This kind of change of position does not need to go through the Central Committee at all - how many things does Lao Zhang do now without going through the Central Committee! But even if it goes through the Central | Central Committee, Lao Zhang completely believes that there will be no obstacles at all - will the short-term President Xu Shichang become impatient and ask for trouble?
After Yang Yuting officially took office, Zhang Hanqing and Jiang Baili worked with him to formulate the air force's plan, mainly in terms of ordnance.
The air force can’t live without planes, right? Communication systems, command systems, targeting systems, aviation bombs, aviation machine guns, and anti-aircraft artillery all need to be considered; the Air Force's establishment, training, and combat registers are all new things and need to be written from scratch; the existing two A training machine is not enough, it needs to be purchased, and subsequent maintenance, maintenance, and repairs involve many departments.
Yang Yuting also has a big head.
“However, he is a capable person and has considerable perseverance. His characteristic is to make progress despite difficulties. He had been the supervisor of Fengtian Arsenal for a long time, so he had a wide network of contacts and many methods, and he quickly figured it out. Of course, as the director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, which is linked to the military industry system, Jiang Baili has also put in a lot of effort. In his opinion, the Marshal has provided an opportunity for Fengjun to become a world-class army. Whether they can seize it or not is the responsibility of those who handle it.
However, Zhang Hanqing knew that the establishment of the Air Force would not be an overnight effort, and there were more important ideas to be realized at the moment. He pulled Jiang Baili over and said mysteriously: "Brother Fang Zhen, let Director Yang of the Air Force do it slowly. You have more important things to do right now." matter."
It should be said that he had always called him Uncle Jiang Shishu, but after the old Jiang returned to the throne, everyone became colleagues, and Jiang Baili refused to be called the elder. However, Zhang Hanqing called him "brother", while Zhang Zuolin called him "brother", which was a bit nondescript. However, Jiang Baili was very open-minded: "Then let's each call each other the same."
As time goes by, you will get used to it. The two are brothers, but they also feel very close.
Jiang Baili knew that Zhang Hanqing had another strange idea, but he was very happy. Every suggestion made by this young marshal is refreshing, but it makes sense when you think about it deeply. It also gives him a lot of inspiration for a military leader. He often laments that with the young marshal around, he realizes that he has too much ambition and too little ability.
But Zhang Hanqing is more ambitious than him, okay? He is a typical "Gao Zhan" who just comes up with ideas and makes the people below him run into trouble for specific things."Attention"——In fact, I don't blame him. In addition to having the advantage of being a latecomer, when it comes to putting ideas into practice, he is not far behind Jiang Baili and Yang Yuting.
"I have an idea, which is to use the technology used to make cars and tractor tracks to make tanks. Do you think it will work?"
Tanks were born in World War I, dominated in World War II, and have been the dominant force on land battlefields since World War II. They are called the "King of Land Warfare." It is the most basic type of all armored vehicles. It is a tracked armored combat vehicle with powerful direct firepower, high cross-country mobility and strong armor protection capabilities. It is the main assault weapon in ground combat and the basic equipment of armored troops.
The advent and use of tanks began a new period of army mechanization, which had a major impact on army combat operations and has extremely far-reaching historical significance in the military: it can undertake various combat tasks in complex terrain and all-weather conditions, mainly It is used to fight enemy tanks and other armored vehicles, and can also suppress and destroy anti-tank weapons and other artillery weapons, destroy field fortifications, and annihilate effective forces. The development of tanks has a decisive influence on the development of other armored vehicles. Zhang Hanqing is clear about its value. And with enough power, there is no need to worry about not being able to build this tank.
Early tanks were still very primitive. Swinton, known as the "Father of Tanks", was a British Army colonel. He first proposed using crawler tractors with steel plates to resist machine gun fire. This was the idea of ??the earliest tanks.
On January 16, 1916, the British improved tank "Mother" conducted its first driving test and successfully passed the simulated "battlefield obstacle course". It reached a width of 2.24 meters across the trench and a height of 1.37 meters through the vertical wall. The test was successful. Since then, the world's first truly practical tank was born. After being equipped with the British Army, it was officially named the Type 1 tank.
During the same period, France also manufactured several types of tanks, the most noteworthy of which is the "Renault" ft-17 light tank. It is the first tank in the world to be equipped with a 360-degree rotating turret, with a rear power compartment and a driver's seat in front of the body. Most modern tanks we see today follow this design.
Zhang Hanqing managed to obtain several FT-17s through the relationship with German military adviser Colonel Max Bauer, mobilized experts from all walks of life, and secretly established a research team in Qinhuangdao code-named "Qinhuangdao 20th Mechanical Research Institute" to conduct research on the tanks. Research.
During World War I, there were a wide variety of tanks from various countries, and the equipment was also colorful. Taking the UK as an example, there are not only various models equipped with one cannon and two to five machine guns, but there are also "male" and "female" ones. Faced with the messy development path of tanks, Zhang Hanqing opposed all opinions and insisted that the tank be equipped with only one artillery and one machine gun. It was recommended that the tank should have a crew of four: commander, driver, gunner and loader, with the commander also serving as machine gunner.
He believes that the mechanization of the army is the way forward for all countries in the future. For a country as big as China, one or two sophisticated but small quantities of weapons alone are not enough to maintain territorial sovereignty. Taking into account China's national conditions, weapons that are low in price, easy to manufacture and maintain, and have upgrade potential for large-scale manufacturing are the best choices at present. Tanks will be oriented toward the comprehensive development of mobility, protection, and firepower.
So everyone focused their thoughts on how to improve mobility, enhance protection and maintenance, and use reliability. Eventually, a standard model with a total combat weight of about 15 tons, a maximum traveling speed of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour, a maximum armor thickness of 60 to 70 mm, and a gun with a caliber of 57 mm was gradually formed. It's not that Zhang Hanqing doesn't want a large caliber, it's just that the Shenyang Arsenal can only build such a large caliber gun at this stage.
Because the development started in 1920, Zhang Hanqing named it T-20 tank, which is the originator of China's standard tank.
The army has tanks and cannons, the air force has planes, and the navy naturally has warships. The first two are becoming reality, but an important factor restricting the development of the Chinese navy has already appeared in that era, and that is ship power.
The reason why Zhang Hanqing spent a lot of money to establish the Marine Boiler Turbine Research Institute in Harbin was to prepare for a rainy day. At present, China does not have the strength or need to build high-power steam engines for large ships of 10,000 tons, but the power facilities for civilian transport ships and small gunboats of dozens or hundreds of tons can be prepared. With experience in maintaining the gunboats of the Kyrgyzstan-Heijiang Defense Fleet, Zhang Hanqing's order to the Aviation Police Department and Research Institute was to imitate coal-fired boilers of the same level at all costs.
The Zhongxing Shipyard in Qinhuangdao has purchased a large number of machines, enough to manufacture ship hulls of several hundred tons. When the technology matures, it may not be possible to build 10,000-ton battleships and heavy cruisers like the Japanese for a while, but the gunboat hull will always be fine, right? Technology is being accumulated, and when it is needed, it will be like a ripe melon.
Therefore, the "Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense" has given great support in the overall planning. All staff have invested considerable enthusiasm in the plan to have the opportunity to upgrade the equipment of the Chinese army. The complete industrial structure also allows talents from various industries to be put into use. . At this point, Zhang Hanqing completed the layout of military equipment, and the Fengtian military industry began to enter a stage of rapid development. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Appropriate enthusiasm and a complete industrial structure with various categories also give talents in various industries a place to use.

Chapter 464 The prototype of the separation of powers
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
According to this development, the People's Party is very likely to aspire to dominate China and become the new leading force of the Republic of China. But this leaves a hidden danger: this kind of party politics that excludes other parties and democratic groups is very likely to be as dictatorial as the Kuomintang in history, and will bring detours to China's democratic process.
How to limit the seemingly infinite administrative power of the party and the government once again lingered in Zhang Hanqing's mind.
The American-style system of two-party alternation and the Senate and the House of Representatives is actually not suitable for China: China has always had imperial power greater than sovereignty, and has a tradition of occupying the mountain as the king, which will breed warlordism whenever an opportunity arises. The Spring and Autumn Period is a game played by the great princes under the Emperor Zhou; the Three Kingdoms and the Five Dynasties are the wonderful legacy of the weak imperial power; a history of the Republic of China is actually a story of the ebb and flow of various mountains. If there is not a strong government, as the saying goes, "I don't know how many people will be kings and how many will be emperors."
By imitating the Western parliamentary system, the legislative body of the Republic of China became a laughing stock. The agreement failed to control Yuan Shikai at the beginning, and failed to succeed after the restoration. Even though the South established an "extraordinary Congress", Duan Qirui used the "Anfu Clan" to control the Congress, and later when Cao Kun bribed the election, the Congress Helping the emperor to do evil. In the end, the Kuomintang and Chiang Kai-shek were in mainland China, and the Congress had no meaning. It’s okay not to have such a Congress.
The courts are also the product of partisan will. And since ancient times, although there has been a saying in China that "princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as the common people", at the end of feudal society, it is rare to see typical examples of princes being punished. Over the past two thousand years, only a few legends such as Bao Gong and Hai Rui have remained. But in such a huge country and a dynasty of two thousand years, relying on the "acting of affairs according to the law" of such a few people, how can we talk about the spirit of the rule of law!
According to the Xinmin administrative reform pilot, administrative management has indeed reached a big level. However, the pilot was not successful on how to restrain the expansion of administrative power. In other words, the problem at that time was only how to obtain and retain administrative power, and there was no time to design and restrain it. way…
it's time. When the administrative power is not too big to be lost, or when you can still effectively control the administrative power, let's alleviate some trouble for future generations. In accordance with the spirit of the Constitution of the Republic of China, the separation of powers was officially launched in the Northeast.
?The first is the parliaments at all levels. Based on the Xinmin County Council, it was first launched in Northeast China, Xing'an, Rehe and Mongolia. The number of county councilors in each county is based on 30 people, and one quota is added for every 3,000 more people.
All members elect a standing committee of the county assembly. The chairman is the speaker, who is also the fixed secretary of the People's Party county committee, and there are 9 members of the standing committee. The Speaker only has the power to convene but not to vote. He can only vote when there is a tie between pro and con. The purpose is not to allow the Parliament to escape the control of the People's Party, but also to prevent the People's Party from replacing the role of the Parliament.
This will test the ability of the county party committee secretaries as the top leaders in the county, forcing them to pay great attention to the county's situation and appropriately restrain their attention to public opinion.
The term of the County Council is three years, and a plenary session is held at the beginning and end of each year. During the intersession period, the Standing Committee is responsible for daily affairs, but the appointment of the chief executive at the beginning of the year and the performance report of the county administrative chief at the end of the year must be approved by more than half of the parliamentary meetings attended by all members. During the term of a member, arrests may not be made without the decision of the Standing Committee or the consent of a majority of all representatives of the Knesset.
County-level councilors have no salary, and the salary of standing committee members is comparable to that of deputy county magistrates.
? The city council is elected on the basis of the county council, and the provincial council is elected on the basis of the city council. Both are given quotas in proportion to the population, but at least one person. The package is similar, but the term is five years.
??A "National Unification Council" parliament is established above the six provinces. The chairman of the parliament is elected by the Central Committee of the People's Party for a three-year term and is re-elected every year. The purpose of this is to stabilize the parliament as much as possible, and to serve as a barometer of the People's Party's governance level.
The number of parliamentarians in each province is based on 2 people, with one additional quota for every 100,000 people. The elected members will be resident in the Shenyang Parliament Building and there will no longer be a committee. The salary of MPs is the same as that of government ministers. Members of parliament from each province will be members of the Standing Committee of each provincial assembly.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? According to the principle that all speakers at the same level are concurrently held by the party committee secretaries of the People's Party at the same level, the chairman of the parliament should be Zhang Hanqing.
However, Zhang Hanqing decided to reflect on himself. The party leader no longer serves as the head of the parliament, because at this time the party chairman has more important work tasks. Unlike the provincial party secretary who is responsible for the party and government, the party chairman will also serve as the chairman of the Military Commission | As the situation worsens, the control over the political power will also be strengthened.
The secretary of the Provincial Party Committee is also managed by the Organization Department of the Central Committee, the Propaganda Department and other matrix management. When you reach the most senior position, your responsibility will be stronger and you need to be separated from your own affairs.It is enough for the collaborators to control the Central Committee and the army.
So Lao Zhang agrees, what other opinions do others have?
In this way, in the Northeast, two major institutions capable of restraining administrative power first appeared: parliament and courts, which allowed the continuation and improvement of the parliamentary system modeled on that of European and American countries since the founding of the Republic of China. This allowed the "extraordinary parliamentary" members still in Guangzhou, Members of the nominal "Congress" in Beijing were shocked.
A native-born warlord actually has the courage and vision to voluntarily give up his unique power and place himself under the supervision of the people. What kind of ambition is this!
Zhang Zuolin suddenly became the backbone of the Chinese cooking movement! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

With the large-scale rise of industry, the problem of talent shortage has begun to emerge sharply. Fengxi is in urgent need of a large number of engineers who understand technology to support industrial development.
Prior to this, the inheritance of technology was only taught by master and apprentice. From the perspective of "teaching the apprentice, the master will starve to death", the traditional handicraft workshop-style technical education has been far out of step with the times, and formal education that follows the world trend is needed. Technical technical schools are here to teach knowledge and solve problems on a large scale, and it is urgent to build specialized industrial schools.
China has a long history of running universities, but the predecessor of Hunan University, Yuelu Academy, which claims to have a history of thousands of years, does not have any characteristics of a modern university. A university that is truly established in accordance with the Western university model is a foreign church university born in the 1860s - Shanghai St. John's University. This is a university that has always been very strong. It was also the only university in China before 1895. The best university.
The earliest government-run university in China was the Peiyang University, which was established during the Sino-Japanese War of 1898. Shortly after its birth, Tianjin began to experience the Boxer Rebellion, and then was invaded by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, which affected its development to a certain extent.
??The Nanyang Public School, established in 1896, was located in the Shanghai Concession where many humanities gathered. It had been committed to saving the country through industry and developed better. Therefore, it could be said to be the best university in China until the 1920s.
As for the Capital University, which was established in 1898, it was the predecessor of Peking University where Zhang Hanqing once "study". Due to the influence of feudalism, most of the students enrolled were dandy children. It was not until Cai Yuanpei took charge of the school that the school spirit was revived, and talents from all over the world gathered. The May 4th Movement made it famous at home and abroad and left a mark in history. However, no one could compare with Peking University in humanities, but its science and engineering subjects at that time were still very poor. Nanyang and Beiyang are still stronger in science and engineering.
After Nanyang merged with Tangshan and Beijing universities in 1921, it was renamed Jiaotong University. It was the best science and engineering institution at that time; Beiyang University, later Tianjin University, was also very strong in science and engineering.
“Talents are concentrated in Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai, which is detrimental to the development of Northeast China. It is time to establish Northeast China’s own universities.
There is currently only one non-strict university in Northeast China - Liaoning Normal University. It has zero science and engineering vocational schools and no background in humanities. The Northeast now has the best industrial base in the country, so it is inevitable to establish science and engineering universities.
Zhang Zuolin has always been committed to education. For this reason, he has performed well on various occasions and at all times: he made every effort to make Liaoning Normal University catch up with the last train of the Ministry of Education to run a university, and he was the first to call for teaching vernacular Chinese. He was the first to explicitly stipulate that county magistrates under his jurisdiction require each county’s education funding to account for 40% of the county’s finances and use this as an important indicator for performance evaluation. He was also the first to introduce tuition-free normal universities. , a warlord who is free of food expenses
The Fengcheng, Zhizhi and Guangdong cliques have become one of the new troika of the Republic of China. How can we not have our own universities to cultivate talents? Zhang Zuolin said at the high-level military and political conference of the autonomous government: "The industrial economy in Northeast China is in dire straits, and I need a lot of talents. It couldn't be done without conditions before, but now the finances are much better. It's time to build an all-inclusive university. It’s time.”
Zhang Hanqing whispered from the side: "It is a comprehensive university."
Zhang Zuolin cleared his throat and said: "Well, it is a comprehensive university! It must be better than Beiyang, Nanyang, and Peking University, and it must be willing to spend money. We are not short of money when it comes to investment in education."
He is really not short of money. As the chief dispatcher, Zhang Hanqing always kept a sum of gold in Shenyang. This amount of gold is 30 tons, which is equivalent to 270 million yuan in the ocean, which is a huge sum of money.
It is enough to use this huge sum of money to build ten universities like Peking University.
Zhang Zuolin was full of confidence. He said to Wang Yongjiang: "I have never read a book and know the harm of ink in the stomach. Therefore, we cannot let the Northeastern people not have the opportunity to go to university for further study. Minyuan, I will leave everything to you." Yes, the sooner school starts, the better. Tell me with money, no matter how much it is, I would rather raise an army of 50,000 less, but Northeastern University must be established."
Zhang Hanqing is not satisfied with this university. For him, it is rare to have enough money in the Northeast, and it is not too painful to use it. Now there are more and better conditions than in history, and several universities can be built at the same time, because the shortage of talents has become obvious.
Northeastern University, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Jilin Normal University can definitely run in parallel. Harbin Institute of Technology, in particular, must be well established. It is the base for China’s industrial development—because China’s industrial development will definitely depend on Northeast China.
The establishment of various universities in Northeast China is China's own business. However, when the Japanese side learned that the Northeast authorities wanted to set up their own universities, the Japanese Consul General in Liaoning openly gave "advice" to Wang Yongjiang: "I heard that you want to set up universities. It will not be easy. Yeah! It costs money, ??Nobody. If you want to study science and engineering, we already have 'Lushun Engineering'; if you want to study medicine, we already have 'South Manchuria Medical University'; if you want to study liberal arts, you can also send international students to the Imperial University to study. The Japanese Government | Preferential treatment will be given and official subsidies will be provided. Why do you overestimate your capabilities and seek trouble by setting up your own university? "
Wang Yongjiang immediately reported this conversation to Zhang Zuolin. After Zhang Zuolin heard this, he was very angry: "Mom, the more they oppose me, Mr. Zhang, to establish a university, the more we have to do it. We have to do it quickly, do it well, and get talents as soon as possible."
Time waits for no one, and the Northeast, which is full of waste and needs to be revitalized, is in urgent need of talents of all kinds. Although he has many things to do, Zhang Hanqing still strongly recommends that Northeastern University be built early and in a big way. Besides, the construction of the school cannot be accomplished in a day. When it gradually reaches a scale, Northeastern's economy should be able to meet the needs.
So on December 26, 1920, Northeastern University was officially established, and the school buildings temporarily used the old campuses of colleges and universities and liberal arts schools in Dananguan, the provincial capital. Later, 500 acres of land was purchased in Beiling and construction of a new school building began. Excluding the land purchase fee, Northeastern University's infrastructure costs totaled 12 million yuan. A year later, the new school building was completed. Its scale and complete functions are second to none in the country.
In addition to building school buildings, the Liaoning Provincial Governor's Office also allocated 500 acres of official land near Changning Temple in the southwest of Beiling and allocated 8.8 million yuan to build a university factory. This kind of university has an affiliated factory, which not only takes care of student internships, but also undertakes machinery business from outside, repairing railway locomotives, passenger cars and machine parts. This model of establishing a factory attached to a university to ensure funding sources was also something that other domestic universities did not have at the time.
Northeastern University also has 100 acres of botanical garden. In this way, the entire campus covers an area of ??900 acres, making it the largest campus in the country at that time. It can be seen that Zhang Zuolin's school building plan is quite grand and spectacular.
Northeastern University’s annual funding is also second to none among universities. Peking University's annual funding at that time was 900,000 silver dollars, Nankai University's 400,000 silver dollars, and Tsinghua University's only 1.2 million silver dollars despite the Boxer Indemnity subsidy. Liaoning Provincial Finance has made a huge investment in Northeastern University. The funding is planned to be 1.6 million yuan in the first year, and will increase year by year thereafter, with an average of 800 yuan per capita.
After the start of classes at Northeastern University, there were some problems in hiring teachers: some scholars from other provinces did not understand the financial situation of the province, and were afraid to come to Northeastern University to teach. The monthly salary was paid in votes. Once the votes depreciated, their income would be affected, so they were unwilling to apply. Understanding this situation, Zhang Zuolin immediately made a decision: "All university professors' salaries will be paid in silver dollars, and no arrears are allowed!"
In order to attract first-class scholars to teach here, Northeastern University has set very generous salaries and benefits, even higher than those of several well-known domestic universities. Taking professors as an example, the monthly salary of professors at Peking University and Tsinghua University is 300 yuan, that at Nankai University is 240 yuan, and that at Northeastern University is 360 yuan. In the later period, the monthly salary for Zhang Shizhao and others was as high as 800 yuan. Northeastern University also built new villages and villas for professors, and arranged spacious and comfortable residences. When professors return to Beijing to visit relatives, their round-trip travel expenses are also reimbursed. This was in sharp contrast to the civil war situation at that time, when professors in various schools were owed salary arrears and had their salaries reduced.
With the sycamore tree, there is no need to worry about not attracting the golden phoenix. These generous benefits from Northeastern University attracted many well-known professors at that time to teach. Later, according to statistics from Northeastern University in 1928, among its 128 full-time faculty members, 77 had returned from studying abroad, including 11 PhDs, 37 masters, and 29 bachelors.
And most of them studied in the United States and graduated from some famous universities in the United States, such as Harvard University, Yale University, Columbia University, Cornell University, MIT, etc.
Even if the rest of the professors have not been "gold-plated" abroad, they have graduated from some well-known domestic institutions of higher learning, such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Tongji University, etc. Its professor lineup is far beyond comparison with other universities.
The teaching equipment of Northeastern University was also among the best in the country at that time. Northeastern University has almost all the experimental instruments and machinery, such as physical and chemical instruments, engineering machinery, animal and plant specimens, books, and factory equipment. Moreover, most of them are purchased from abroad and are relatively advanced, which is rare among famous domestic schools. According to statistics in 1926, the school has a collection of 33,164 books, 13,516 instruments and specimens of various types, and mechanical equipment worth 186.53 million yuan, providing excellent conditions for students to read, experiment and practice.
By the end of the 1920s, Northeastern University had the largest number of students in the country, with 300 professors and 3,000 students. At that time, Peking University only had 2,000 students.
“At first, many Japanese did not believe that Zhang Zuolin would run Northeastern University well. However, after visiting Tohoku University, Japanese scholar Niijima Junryo had to say: Tohoku University's experimental equipment is first-class, professors' salaries are much higher than those of national universities, and its educational standards are "much higher than those of higher education institutions established by Japan in Manchuria." Educational Colleges”.
If the Japanese pay attention to Harbin Institute of Technology, which is under construction at the same time, they will find that except for some departments such as humanities, economics, medicine, etc., which are less than Northeastern University, Harbin Institute of Technology, which is far away in the hinterland of Black Province, even invests more in engineering education than Northeastern University. University. The departments of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, mining, and civil engineering here are among the best in Asia.
Regarding Zhang Hanqing’s ambition, if Northeastern University’s expectation is to become a first-class comprehensive university in the country, then Harbin Institute of Technology’s requirement is to be a world-class engineering institution that dares to rival MIT.
Of course, Harbin Institute of Technology has lived up to the young commander’s high expectations. It took ten years to truly become the “cradle of the military industry of the Republic of China”, and also brought China’s national defense industry into the modern era. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The investment in engineering education even exceeds that of Northeastern University.

Chapter 466 Battle for Shaanxi
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
As the situation of the Fengtian clique in the north gradually stabilized, Shaanxi, located in the hinterland of the northwest, was gathering forces from all sides. Both the Zhili and Fengcheng cliques wanted to use this to delineate the actual spheres of influence of both sides.
For a long time, the main troops stationed in Shaanxi include: the Yingguo Army, the Shaanxi Aid General Headquarters headed by Xu Lanzhou, the Shaanxi National Defense Army headed by Chen Shufan, the governor of the Anhui Clique, and the Henan Zhensong Army headed by the governor Liu Zhenhua.
Among these forces, although the Yingguo Army is not the strongest, it has a strong background. Also in September 1917, when Sun Yat-sen established a military government to protect the French in Guangzhou and took office as the navy and army general, he launched a war to protect the French against Duan Qirui. Cao Shiying and Gao Jun in Weibei and upright in Xi'an responded to Sun Yixian's uprising and raised the banner to overthrow Chen F Duan. Afterwards, Hu Jingyi and Cao Shiying also rushed to Sanyuan, and the two armies joined forces to form the Shaanxi Jingguo Army.
With a fierce offensive, the Jingguo Army destroyed Chen Army's defense line in the western suburbs of Xi'an and surrounded Xi'an from the west and south. Under attack from the east and west armies of the Yingguo Army, Chen Shufan panicked. On the one hand, he appealed to the Beiyang government for reinforcements; on the other hand, he asked Liu Zhenhua in western Henan for help as promised by the provincial governor.
Liu Zhenhua was originally a careerist with both ends of the spectrum, and he had long been dissatisfied with the fact that he was entrenched in a corner of western Henan. Chen Shufan's request for help is like a man beating a dog when he is full, which just suits Liu Zhenhua's ambition. Therefore, Liu Zhenhua personally led 5,000 troops, known as the "Henan Zhensong Army", and marched into Tongguan. Liu Zhenhua's entry into the customs was very detrimental to the Jingguo Army, but Liu Zhenhua also stayed in Shaanxi from then on.
Hu Jingyi sized up the situation and ordered the Yingguo Army to withdraw from Xi'an. The West Route Army retreated to Sanyuan, Jingyang, and Fuping, using the Jinghe River as its defense line. The East Route Army returned to its original station in Weibei to rest and recuperate.
Although the Yingguo army fought bravely, it lacked unified command, which was a taboo for military strategists. Hu Jingyi, Cao Shiying, Liu Yuncheng and others discussed and decided to invite Mr. Yu Youren in Shanghai to return to Shaanxi to lead the army. In August 1918, Yu Youren returned to Weibei from Shanghai and served as the commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi Jingguo Army. Zhang Fang, who returned from Beijing, served as the deputy commander-in-chief, and the entire army implemented a unified organization. The headquarters of the Yingguo Army was established in Sanyuan to expel Chen Shufan, the governor of the Anhui clique.
The divided Jingguo Army has since had a unified command, but the Jingguo Army is still surrounded by Chen Shufan and is still in a very dangerous situation. Hu Jingyi decided to develop towards the east, which was weakly surrounded by Chen's army.
Hu Jingyi went to Weinan Gu City to find his old friend Jiang Hongmo. Jiang Hongmo suggested that he negotiate peace with Chen Shufan. Hu Jingyi accepted Jiang Hongmo's suggestion. But surprisingly, Chen Shufan had no sincerity in peace talks at all. Taking advantage of the peace talks, Hu Jingyi was kidnapped back to Xi'an and detained.
In November of that year, the Beijing government appointed Xu Lanzhou, the division commander of the Fengcheng Department, as the commander-in-chief of aid to Shaanxi, and commanded the Gansu Army, Sichuan Army, Jin Army and others to enter Shaanxi to "encircle and suppress" the Shaanxi Jingguo Army. Zhang Zuolin's wings were not yet full at that time, so he naturally obeyed the orders of Duan Qirui's government. The Feng army was well-equipped and well-trained. General Xu Lanzhou and Li Jinglin were good at fighting quickly and won three victories in three battles.
Guo Jian and Ye Quan of the Eighth Army of the Yunnan Jingguo Army worked together to resist Xu Lanzhou's Xinglin Town between Wugong and Fufeng. After a stalemate for more than two months, they were defeated and retreated to Fengxiang; they were besieged for several months, with transportation blocked and the city running out of ammunition and food. Absolutely, the army and the people are in trouble.
Guo Jian fought bloody battles for years and lost many of his strong generals. He was exhausted, so he discussed with Zhang Fang and Fan Zhongxiu and decided to "join Xu to defeat Chen" and negotiated a peace with Xu Lanzhou. The first and second routes of the Yingguo Army accepted and were reorganized into the Shaanxi Aid Army. With the 10th Brigade of the Army, Xu Lanzhou obtained a large area north of the Wei River and was appointed by the central government as the garrison envoy of northern Shaanxi. After that, the remaining troops of the Jingguo Army retreated to the northern Shaanxi border area.
After the Zhijiang-Anhui War broke out, the enemy and our camps were divided again. Because the former Shaanxi governor Chen Shufan refused to hand over power, Xu Lanzhou led his troops south to the Weihe River according to the agreement between Zhili and Fengzhi. He fought with the Anhui governor Chen Shufan's troops in Xianyang and gradually occupied Baoji and Hanzhong. After the Yingguo army rested and reorganized, the entire army returned and restored the ground east of northern Shaanxi.
In September, Yan Xiangwen was ordered to use Feng Yuxiang's 16th Mixed Brigade stationed in Nanyang, Henan Province as the main force to attack Lintong and go straight to Xi'an, and use Wu Xintian's 7th Division stationed in Hubei Province to enter Shaanxi from Wuguan and Zijingguan to flank Xi'an; he personally led the attack The 20th Division marched westward with Feng Yuxiang's advance troops, preparing to receive it by force.
After Chen Shufan learned about the Yan army's westward march, on the one hand he expressed to Cao Kun and Wu Peifu that he was willing to give up his position as governor of Shaanxi. On the other hand, he actively mobilized troops and generals in order to fight a decisive battle with the Zhili army and maintain the Anhui clique's rule in Shaanxi. In order to change the unfavorable situation, he decided to make peace with the Jingguo army on the condition of releasing Hu Jingyi.
In this way, Hu Jingyi ended his nearly three years of imprisonment, returned to Weibei, and served as the commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi Jingguo Army. Liu Zhenhua, who was the governor of Shaanxi Province at the time, fawned over both sides, but actually secretly supported the Zhili Army and demolished Chen Shufan's power; Fengjun, who had persisted in the anti-Chen struggle for many years and had occupied a large area in Weibei, belonged to the Shaanxi Jingguo Army.Changes——Zhang Hanqing was about to clean up the territory in Shaanxi, how could he succeed so easily? Now that Zhang Hanqing has the support of Gansu, Shaanxi is a piece of fat on his lips. How can he let the Zhili clique succeed?
Although the top leaders of the Jingguo Army, headed by Yu Youren, follow Sun Yixian as their leader, this group has Yu Youren in literature and Hu Jingyi in military affairs. They are all famous heroes of the moment. If they can be summoned under their command with the national righteousness of national unification, , which is self-evident for the enhancement of Fengjun's strength. Moreover, the People's Party uses the slogan "Three dishes to cook justice", which is similar to Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang. It seems that between the Zhili and the People's Party, Yu and Hu Hui would prefer the latter.
He had already telegraphed Han Linchun stationed in Lanzhou to send a representative to contact Yu Youren, and also telegraphed Xu Lanzhou to co-manage northern Shaanxi with the Yasukuni Army in the form of an alliance. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 469 United Front
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
It is understandable that Zhang Hanqing issued orders in the name of the patrol envoy of Shaanxi and Gansu.
But the officialdom of the Republic of China was not like this - most of the patrol envoys during the Republic of China actually had false duties, and they were only used to promote and demote generals who had become outdated. Some were used to appease, such as Zhang Xun's appointment. The patrol envoys on the Yangtze River actually have no control over a single province, and Wang Zhanyuan's patrol envoys on the two lakes only care about their own Hubei but not Hunan.
There are only two patrol envoys with real names: Zhang Zuolin, the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces, and Lu Rongting, the patrol envoy of Guangdong and Guangxi. Coincidentally, they are both from Green Forest and military governors, and they have firmly grasped military power after being promoted. .
Feng Yuxiang worked hard to make wedding clothes for others, and had to be controlled by Zhang Hanqing, a "little kid with a yellow mouth", so he was naturally angry about it. How could he retreat so easily after finally finding a treasured land?
But his immediate boss, the baby commander, held a moral baton and kept hitting him. The clay figurine also has a bloody nature, not to mention that he is an arrogant warlord in the first place? Gradually sparks exploded between the two.
The competition between Zhifeng and Zhifeng was also fierce in other places: on the same day that Zhang Hanqing issued the telegram, the central government specially appointed Wang Shizhen as the patrol envoy to Jiangsu, Anhui and Jiangxi. Wang succeeded him, but failed, so Zhang Zuolin tried to protect Zhang Xun. . You must know that although Zhang Xun's reputation is not very good, he is the father-in-law of one of Zhang Hanqing's sisters. The two families are in-laws.
Of course, Cao Kun and Xu Shichang wanted to use people directly connected to them. They appointed Qi Xieyuan as the governor of Jiangsu, and appointed He Fenglin as the envoy to protect the army in Songhu. As a result, the three provinces of the Yangtze River were still firmly in the hands of the Zhili Clique, which aroused everyone's dissatisfaction, especially Zhang Zuolin's strong backlash.
The current Feng Clan is far from comparable to the same period in official history. Not only does it surpass the Zhili Clan in military terms, but it also performs well in terms of economic strength. In particular, Zhang Hanqing's series of heroic actions such as the recovery of Mokuowei, Hulunbuir, Outer Mongolia and Tangnu Ulianghai won a good reputation in the country and he also took the lead politically.
In this case, for the sake of balance, Jin Yunpeng made a retreat. In the name of the central government, he asked Feng Yuxiang to retreat as ordered. As Feng's backstage, Wu Peifu was concerned about the situation and chose to acquiesce. Feng Yuxiang was helpless: in terms of legal principles and strength, he could not compete with his immediate boss Zhang Hanqing, who claimed to have five divisions, and the giant Zhang Zuolin standing behind him.
On December 3, Feng Yuxiang was "ordered" to withdraw from Xi'an and stationed in Ankang, the border area of ??Shaanxi, Sichuan and Hubei. But this incident also planted the seeds of discord between Feng and Wu.
Feng Yuxiang was not only angry at Feng Xi's hand, but also resented and looked down upon Wu Peifu's concession. The battle for Shaanxi objectively created a gap between the two main figures in the direct line, Feng and Wu, which Wu Peifu probably did not expect.
Zhang Hanqing was unyielding when he gained power. He ordered a crusade in the name of Governor Liu Zhenhua's attachment to Duan Qirui. Liu Zhenhua didn't dare to be tough on Zhang Hanqing when he saw the powerful Feng Yuxiang. How could his small "Suppressing Song Army" be his opponent? So he simply announced his resignation.
Most of the warlords in the Republic of China had a tacit understanding: as long as they are powered on and go to power, no matter how big the mistakes made by their predecessors, they will be undone. This is also like a "hidden rule" in politics. Everyone seems to think that killing prisoners is unlucky. In order to show their own "discipline" "Image, and generally don't have the habit of beating up drowned dogs.
Like Duan Qirui’s three ups and downs in history, Chiang Kai-shek’s three downs and three ups are all one example. The warlords from all over the world showed their kindness and honor to the people in the field, and rarely harmed them.
There were three rare exceptions, but the initiators did not end well: Xu Shuzheng, who killed Lu Jianzhang in official history, was eventually killed by Lu Jianzhang's son, Lu Chengwu; Zhang Zongchang, who killed and captured Zheng Jinsheng, was also shot dead by his son Zheng Jicheng; and another great warlord, Sun Chuanfang, beheaded his prisoner Shi Congbin. , and was later avenged by Shi Nu.
"However, although Zhang Hanqing would not kill them all, he did not want to leave him a chance to stand up. Liu Zhenhua had just left, and he was about to integrate all the "Suppressing Song Army" and appointed Yu Youren, the former commander-in-chief of the "Jingguo Army" and a famous Kuomintang veteran in later generations, as the governor of Shaanxi Province.
The overall situation of Shaanxi has been decided.
But underneath this peace, there is a subtle disharmony. This feeling of disharmony became stronger and stronger as Zhang Hanqing entered northern Shaanxi.
The reason is that Shaanxi has been under the control of the Anhui clique for a long time. It has experienced the eras of the National Guard Army, the Zhensong Army, the Shaanxi Aid Army, and the Zhili Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xiangwen, Wu Xintian and other guest armies. It is not cold to foreign troops; the original Yingguo Army Under the influence of the Kuomintang, although they benefited from the Northwest Army, they did not change their surnames from the bottom up. The main person in charge still leaned towards the Kuomintang.
Zhang Hanqing’s solution is to reuse your right hand.
Yu Youren was born in the Kuomintang and had a well-established background. Holding him in high esteem will help stabilize the Kuomintang forces in Shaanxi. In addition, he has done a lot to pay attention to people's livelihood and stabilize the situation.It also enjoys high prestige in Shaanxi Province and the "Jingguo Army". The People's Army has spread out too much and is really not sure that it can firmly control so many territories. Relying on these "surrendering troops and generals" (Zhang Zuolin's words) is a last resort.
Under the influence of Mr. Yu who is loyal to Sun Yat-sen, it is not impossible for the "Jingguo Army" to rebel, but only after the Kuomintang gains power. At present, there is no party group that has the appeal and influence of the People's Party.
As for the "Jingguo Army" breaking away and entering Anhui, that is absolutely impossible - Sun Yixian and Duan Qirui are "world enemies". According to official history, the Kuomintang really gained power after the "Northern Expedition" in 1927. Before that, Zhang Hanqing was confident that he could overcome this crisis by strengthening his military strength.
What Zhang Hanqing needs now is stability.
With several provinces being conquered in such a short period of time, there will be no capable personnel to control each place for a while, so maintaining the original administration and management is the right thing to do. Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it took seven years for the Communist Party to carry out neo-democratic transformation before entering socialism, let alone the chaotic administrative power of "you stop the war and I will come in" during the war?
But our young marshal obviously doesn’t care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, and he doesn’t even care about people from other camps “stealing high positions.” As long as someone can make the occupied area politically stable and economically prosperous, and can provide continuous power support for his military operations, or at least no more chaos will occur that requires military resources to be occupied.
The longer the time goes, the more beneficial it is to him. He doesn’t believe that the People’s Party’s united front force can’t deal with the Yingguo Army, which is far from forming a “party army”. It is undeniable that prominent figures such as Yu Youren and Hu Jingyi are deeply influenced by Sun Yat-sen, but this is not the case for all grassroots soldiers and officers. I believe that belief in the People's Party will definitely be more attractive than the Kuomintang in the future.
What needs attention is the aid to the Shaanxi Army.
Xu Lanzhou was originally a hero of his generation. After leaving the Northeast, the world suddenly became wider, and he became the commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi aid army and became prosperous. He has worked so hard that he now controls two brigades of soldiers and horses. The "Yingguo Army" and "Shaanxi Aid Headquarters" soldiers and horses are combined into one, forming a huge force. How can he be willing to rely on others again?
Although the Northwest People's Army appears to be in control of the overall situation, because the "Three Horses" in the northwest have just surrendered, some troops need to be guarded in Gansu. Only two divisions can actually enter Shaanxi. It is difficult to suppress these two main armies.
It was at this time that the role of the People’s Party’s united front principle truly emerged. Use united front against potential enemies or friends, and win over your own people. Zhang Hanqing has already set his sights on Xu Lanzhou.
No matter how difficult it is, we must do it. There is no other way. Who allowed his power to expand so quickly? After controlling the 5th Division and acquiring nearly 20,000 people as the main force of the "Jingguo Army", Xu Lanzhou suddenly became a powerful faction again. This was another rise for him after four years. Who knows if this king of Heilongjiang Province, who was once on par with Zhang Zuolin, might have different thoughts? Will he be willing to obey Zhang Hanqing's orders?
In addition, as a balance for the Zhili clique’s army to withdraw from Shaanxi, Cao Kun and Wu Peifu also need to take a measure that can convince the voices within the faction. The reason is that the original negotiation was to divide Shaanxi province equally between the two families, and the Zhili clique must show its existence.
Since the Zhili army has withdrawn from Shaanxi, the army in Shaanxi cannot be dominated by the Northwest People's Army. That is, the adapted original "Jingguo Army" must be supervised by someone from the Zhili party. However, for Zhang Hanqing, who is confident that he has Shaanxi in his pocket, how can he allow Zhili to add sand to his territory?
For this matter, Zhili and Fengtian sent telegrams back and forth several times. Cao and Wu did not dare to challenge the Feng clan rashly, but the Feng clan did not dare to cause trouble at this time, because the Zhang family and his son were also not ready.
It was the middle of winter, and the weather was freezing. Whether it is the Zhili Army that is about to leave, the defeated Anhui Army waiting to be incorporated, the "Jingguo Army", the "Suppressing Song Army" or the "Shaanxi Aid Army", everyone is watching the actions of this young marshal, trying to follow The trend in Shaanxi can be found in his words and deeds. Yes, it is already cold enough in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and if another cold wind blows, it will kill someone!
In order to completely solve this problem, at the suggestion of the Marshal, representatives from all parties will gather in Xi'an to discuss in detail the reorganization of the various armies, and also to finalize the political layout of Shaanxi Province in the post-Anhui clique era. It is said that this young marshal boldly said that as long as the original "Jingguo Army" accepted the reorganization, he would even allow it to form an army alone and organize it into the 6th Division of the Northwest People's Army. He even decided on the candidate for the division commander, which was the former commander-in-chief Hu Jingyi .
Zhang Hanqing’s sincerity cannot be said to be insufficient, and his temptation cannot be said to be too great. Not only that, he also left the territory of the People's Army and personally went to Xi'an to discuss the funeral arrangements with various people. In fact, with his current status and strength, why would he need to take this risk? As the patrol envoy of Shaanxi and Gansu, he really ordered all parties to hold a meeting at the People's Army camp. Are he still afraid that some people will not go?
At this time, Xi'an City was stationed by the former "Jingguo Army" forces headed by Yu Youren. Zhang Hanqing came here to sign the "Alliance Under the City", which in itself was a sign of sincerity. It is said that the young marshal only took a guard battalion with him, and entered the city with light clothes and angry horses. For the young marshal's courage, he is worthy of respect.
Because of his leading role, leaders from all walks of life have also followed up. Based on this sincerity, it is very exciting to form a positive resolution.

Chapter 470 Beyond Laughter

In the city of Xi'an, Zhang Hanqing, Xu Lanzhou, Yu Youren and Hu Jingyi gathered together to celebrate that the ancient imperial capital had escaped the suffering of war. Yu Youren had just been appointed governor, so he served as host in the provincial capital.
He already knew Zhang Hanqing’s deeds very well and knew that he was young, but he was still very surprised to see his true appearance. To be able to command an army at such a young age and serve as a patrol envoy in Shaanxi and Gansu is probably unprecedented and unprecedented, right?
He clinked glasses with Zhang Hanqing diligently: "I am very lucky to meet the world-famous young marshal. The young marshal acted as a benevolent and righteous man and quelled the war in Shaanxi, which has made great contributions to the country and the people. This glass of wine, This is Yu’s respect, and on behalf of Mr. Miyuan, I would like to congratulate the Young Marshal!”
Yu Youren is a native of Sanyuan. He was able to fight here without losing any blood and without destroying the life of his hometown. This must be true. Zhang Hanqing repeatedly said that he didn't dare. He picked up the wine glass and said, "I don't dare to say goodbye to this gift from my elders!" He stood up and drank it all in one gulp.
His low profile gained Yu Youren's favor. Humility is a virtue, especially when one is in a high position. He doesn't seek credit and has no sectarian views, but that doesn't mean others don't, especially in an era when factional disputes are so fierce. Although he is not a member of the People's Party, he actually served as the governor of Shaanxi under his strong recommendation. This magnanimity is admirable.
“Actually, he doesn’t care whether he becomes this official or not. He just wants to be able to leave some fire and a base for the national revolution. In any case, his gratitude comes from the bottom of his heart.
Zhang Hanqing's trip was not just to gain his gratitude. The Northwest People's Army has acquired too much territory. After dividing its troops and sticking to it, its control over Shaanxi will inevitably weaken. Coupled with the intertwined reasons here, the major forces are in the same groove. When eating, you must move strategically. Yu Youren's status in the Shaanxi Jingguo army was very high. If he was placed there, he could defeat several powerful troops.
The other party is a literati, so the only way to deal with a literate person is to hold him up, then hold him up again, so that he is afraid of falling and can stabilize himself.
"I have long heard that Mr. Yu's poetry and calligraphy are both unparalleled, and his Wei stele is unparalleled by anyone before him. Xueliang just admires the reputation and doesn't want to see the real person today. If I can get the calligraphy treasure in person, what a blessing!"
Yu Youren was born in Juren. In his early years, he started writing from Zhao Mengfu. Later, he switched to Beibei and studied the six dynasties tablets. On this basis, he incorporated seal script, official script and cursive script into regular script. He found his own way and became his own family. He was later called the "contemporary Cao Sage" . The reason why he likes the Wei stele is that it has a "martial" spirit and a rough and bold spirit, which corresponds to the Chinese nation's sense of resistance against invasion by foreign powers.
Zhang Hanqing followed his suit and got close to him, not only hoping to win over him, but also because he really wanted to get a calligraphy treasure. Yu Youren's calligraphy will be very valuable to future generations. Do your best to leave some wealth to future generations - it is effortless to write a few words.
This proposal was very elegant, and Yu Youren also wanted to create a good atmosphere for the conversation, so he readily agreed: "Young Commander-in-Chief, I dare not obey my orders, but what should I write?"
He thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, he patted his head and said: "I have forgotten that there is a ready-made master here, how dare I try to do anything for him! I have heard for a long time that the young commander is knowledgeable in poetry, and today I have done nothing. Lord, please give me a message from the young commander."
This is his cleverness. I am not familiar with Zhang Hanqing, so I naturally have no way of knowing his preferences. There is something special about sending words, and you have to rely on it. If the tone is too high, it might sound like flattery; if it is dull, others might not like it.
It’s better to let him speak for himself.
When I said this, I really didn’t mean to compare.
Zhang Hanqing thought for a moment and said, "That's an overstep. Not long ago, when Xueliang was passing by Xinglong Mountain, he accidentally heard the song "Tian Jing Sha". Although it was a bit despicable, it suited my state of mind. Why not ask Mr. Yu? Write down this tune and have it framed by a scholar and treasured later.”
I wanted to say something about "virtue carrying things", "winding paths lead to quiet places", etc., but I thought it was rare to have an opportunity to have famous people write inscriptions. The number of words is too small and it would be uneconomical; here are a few famous quotes such as "Indifferent to clear one's ambition, tranquility to clear one's mind" Zhiyuan", it feels too tacky. But there is one who is both flattering and narrow-minded, which is exactly what I want.
Yu Youren really liked it after hearing this. Cultural people are always somewhat interested in cultural people, although both of them led troops in war and became warriors. His attainments in poetry are not weak, and Zhang Hanqing's achievements in poetry are said to be deeply praised by the cultural circles, which inevitably leads to a sense of closeness.
"When a young marshal comes out, he must be a top-notch one, and Yu will listen with all ears."
"Uh-huh, poems and lyrics are written out of feelings, and it is difficult to reach the level of elegance. However, it is rare for the mood to match, so it is ugly." Zhang Hanqing pretended to be cool and chanted: "Singing on Xinglong Mountain, I have seen the incomparable golden sword, and I have burned incense after leaving the imperial edict. After reading it, the king asked me: When will the mountains and rivers be recovered?"
GenghisOpportunity! The strong fortress I imagined was just a hut made of sand on the beach, which quickly collapsed under the impact of the tide.
Without the 5th Division, he is nothing. Under such circumstances, what confidence does he have to challenge others?
Although the 6th Division is still commanded by Hu Jingyi, it has a large number of "Suppressing Song Army", part of the "Shaanxi National Defense Army" that accepted the adaptation, and a small number of people's officers (which are necessary for all adaptations). complex.
And after the Political Department and the Munitions Department of the People's Army fully intervened in this force, it became even more difficult for Hu Jingyi to do whatever he wanted: he still had to take the opinions of the Political Department into account when doing things, and he had to face the fact that his military expenditures , logistics supplies, and officer promotions are all in the hands of the headquarters.
Afterwards, Xu Lanzhou, who was filled with anger, immediately sent someone to question Li Jinglin.
It turns out that when he was the commander of the First Division in Heilongjiang, Li Jinglin was his chief of staff. But later, after the First Division was annexed by the Feng Clan, and he himself later became the commander of the Shaanxi Army, Li Jinglin left the First Division and went to Beijing, where he worked under Qu Tongfeng of the Anhui Clique. Later, because he was dissatisfied with Xu Shuzheng, he rebelled during the Zhili-Anhui War. As a Hebei native, he was successfully reused by the Zhili clique.
“I wonder if it’s because he’s not known for his integrity and he’s Xu Lanzhou’s old subordinate, so he’ll be accepted by both the Zhili and Fengcheng factions at the same time, right? It seems that the Zhili clique has worked very hard for this position - in the end, they still don't want to see the Feng clique become the dominant one in Shaanxi.
Thinking that even Zhang Hanqing could not refuse his employment, his anger at having his power taken away became much less intense.
He thought well. The two big bosses Cao and Wu placed Li Jinglin as a chess piece because he had a low reputation and was easy to be accepted by the Feng Dynasty. However, what they never expected was that Li Jinglin was one of the Five Tiger Generals in the official history. All Zhang Hanqing could do at this stage was to accept him and act constipated.

Chapter 471 A murder caused by a piece of pork
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The Northwest People's Army Headquarters officially issued an order: Li Jinglin is the division commander, and Xu Lanzhou is the Northwest People's Army Chief of Staff and Commander of the Armed Police Force, which is considered a formal recognition of their positions. Xu Lanzhou, whose situation was over, could only smile bitterly. In his opinion, there was a gap between him and his nephew.
Considering that they were both from the Feng family and that Zhang Hanqing had given him enough courtesy, Xu Lanzhou gave up his desire to be stronger. As a soldier, Li Jinglin would be lying if he said he had no idea about the position of division commander. Besides, with the current strength of the Fengtian faction, the fact that he, a once marginal man, could take charge of the first division was a sign of the young marshal's acceptance of him. Is there any reason not to throw myself into my arms?
Now that the old boss has understood the situation clearly, isn't it better for everyone to happily renew their relationship than to fight over and over again? Therefore, after serving as the division commander, he actively integrated into the People's Army group, strongly supported the standardized adaptation of the People's Army, and fully demonstrated his abilities.
Just as Zhang Hanqing was gearing up for his next move, an unexpected murder caused him to think deeply and triggered his understanding of ethnic and religious issues.
The reason why this murder is serious is that it comes from the military, and it is the 4th Division of the most elite cavalry unit of the Northwest People's Army. What happened was simple and sudden.
Because of the suddenness of the entry into Shaanxi, the 2nd and 4th Divisions were mobilized urgently, so there were naturally some logistical problems. In the northwest, a place with inconvenient transportation facilities, it is understandable that this kind of thing would happen. As the Minister of Munitions, Mi Chunlin still tried his best to maintain food for the troops. After all, this is the basis of military combat effectiveness.
Considering that cotton-padded clothes could not be transported from the Northeast in time, it became a problem for frontline soldiers to keep out the cold. In order to increase calories, the army meals contained more meat. However, due to the barrenness of the northwest region, cattle are an important means of production, so the meat automatically falls on mutton and pork.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the People's Army: In this world, apart from the People's Army, which other team's officers would care about the life and death of ordinary soldiers?
So the officers and soldiers of the third battalion and first company of the 15th Regiment of the 8th Brigade were very happy eating steamed buns and drinking fragrant broth. For soldier Liu Erleng, he was even more happy that he finally had the opportunity to play tricks on his new comrade Ma Cunqing.
He quietly stuffed a piece of meat into Ma Cunqing's bowl while the other party was not paying attention. If Ma Cunqing was a Han soldier, he would be reluctant to bear it. Eating meat is a luxury these days, and families with average conditions can only cut a piece of it for toothpaste during the Chinese New Year. Liu Er was stunned at home in the Northeast. Although life has gotten better in recent years, he could only eat it once during important festivals.
But playing tricks on Ma Cunqing is different. Hearing that he was a Hui people and that the Hui people did not eat pork, Liu Er was stunned and wanted to see with his own eyes whether this legend was true or false.
Ma Cunqing noticed it immediately. He suddenly looked at Liu Er and said nothing. Knowing that there was mutton and pork mixed in the broth today, he didn't serve it. Therefore, when there is an extra piece of meat in the bowl, he knows that someone must give it to him. Seeing Liu Er's malicious smile, he knew it.
"What are you doing?!" As a new recruit, he was still a little in awe of the veterans. Although veterans are not allowed to bully new recruits within the People's Army, it is difficult for a new army that has only been established for a short time to achieve the style Zhang Hanqing wants, although compared to other armed forces, the style of the People's Army is good enough. Not long after he joined the army, he naturally couldn't get rid of his inherent prejudices.
Liu Er was stunned to see that the prank failed, and said angrily: "It's just a piece of meat, it's worth making a fuss about."
"This is pork. You know we don't eat pork." Ma Cunqing said angrily.
Because the people expanded the army on the spot a few years ago, some capable Ningxia and Gansu soldiers were absorbed into the ranks, and some of them returned. They had been in the northwest region for a long time and were very good at horseback skills. Therefore, the cavalry regiments of various divisions of the People's Army and the Fourth Cavalry Division poured in a large number of returning troops. Because of the different customs, it brings certain pressure to management.
But no matter how difficult it is, it must be done. Absorbing returning troops is itself a part of stabilizing the northwest. Han Linchun and Wang Yizhe faithfully performed the tasks assigned by Zhang Hanqing, and also made some internal requirements to respect national customs. However, there were still some shortcomings when it came to specific companies.
Many veterans in the Northeast are still surprised that some people don't eat pork. These days, if you don't have enough to eat, wouldn't you be stupid if you don't eat meat? There are also people who doubt its authenticity, such as the "test" of Ma Cunqing.
The reason why Liu Erleng was named "Erleng" was because his brain reflexes were not very good. Ma Cunqing was obviously angry, but he still couldn't understand the direction: "Haha, I don't believe it when you say that Hui people don't eat pork. I'll give you a piece to try. It's very fragrant."?”
Ma Cunqing is a loyal Muslim, and Liu Erleng's words deeply stimulated him. They were all young people, so his reaction was naturally bigger when he was in the heat of the moment: he raised his rice bowl and threw the porridge and meat at Liu Er Leng.
A crisp sound broke the silence of the military camp. The officers and soldiers dining were surprised to see Liu Er's face drenched with rice juice.
Seeing the new recruits bullying the veterans, Liu Er's comrades who didn't know the truth naturally wanted to come out to seek justice. The military police who maintained discipline also came over and wanted to put Ma Cunqing in confinement.
Now the comrades of Ma Cunqing quit. During this period of chaos, they had already heard about the cause of the matter. They were very dissatisfied with the indiscriminate detention by the military police. They shouted that it was unfair and started fighting with the military police.
When Zhang Hanqing created the Political Department, in order to reflect its majesty, he put the military police, a law enforcement agency, under the name of the Division Political Department. The power given to the military police was "from the regimental commander on down, regardless of official position, to arrest and detain." Of course, this was Under the orders of the Division Political Department, it is carried out by the Gendarmerie Headquarters; however, ordinary Gendarmerie can also "conduct disciplinary inspections at any time" and, when necessary, "imprison in local confinement pending investigation by superior officers."
Although the cause of the commotion in the dining hall is unknown, it is true that Ma Cunqing smashed his comrades, and his confinement is reasonable.
Feeling insulted, Liu Er was stunned to see Ma Cunqing and others openly resisting the military police in performing their duties. Naturally, he would not miss this good opportunity for revenge. He and several others assisted the military police in "maintaining discipline." Naturally, pushing and shoving were inevitable.
Both sides are young people with strong blood. They can restrain themselves a little at first, but once they let go, their hands are no longer light or heavy. During the melee, Liu Er's head hit the dining table. In anger, a returning soldier was hit on the head with a bowl by his opponent, causing bleeding.
At this time, someone shouted: "The Han people are fighting back!"
His words greatly stimulated the returning soldiers who were unaware of the situation. They all grabbed their seats and joined the battle group. The scene was extremely bad for a time. If the company commander hadn't rushed over in the end and fired a warning shot, I really don't know what the level of trouble would have been.
In this way, the result is also very speechless: three Han soldiers and one returning soldier were carried out, and no less than 30 people were slightly injured. The reason why the Han soldiers suffered a big loss was that the returning troops who joined later used their benches to deal with the unarmed Han soldiers on the field.
As a serious case affecting the unity of the Hui-Han people, this matter was reported level by level. Wang Yizhe believed that this matter would have a very negative impact on Zhang Hanqing's national unity policy, so he informed him directly. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 472 Symposium
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The impact of this incident is really bad. At least the three northwest horses that surrendered shortly have expressed their concern about this incident at the same time.
It should be mentioned that the brothers Ma Qi and Ma Lin who were entrenched in Qinghai also chose to surrender their entire division after the Battle of Liupanshan, and were later organized into the 3rd Division with Qi Enming. Of course, the division commander was Qi Enming.
Ma Qi's "Ning Haijun" and Ma Tingxuan's "Elite Western Army" were not seriously damaged, and basically their entire structure was retained; while Ma Fuxiang's Ningxia Returned Army was defeated due to the defeat, but their vitality was not damaged and they were still A strong team. The three teams have been entrenched in the northwest for many years and have a profound influence on the hearts of the Hui people.
Although the three horses did not serve in the newly formed People's Army after the war, their influence on the old army was great, and they also had a strong influence on the local Hui people. If this incident caused the three people to be suspicious of the People's Party's policies , then the united front work will basically fail.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing was shocked as soon as he learned the news. After initially asking for the reason, he ordered the persons involved to be imprisoned. It is true that Ma Cunqing went too far, but Liu Erleng was also suspected of undermining the party's ethnic policy. In addition, those from both sides who participated in the group fight, including the returning soldier who took the opportunity to instigate them, were all detained without exception.
Zhang Hanqing decided to take this as an opportunity to connect this incident with his understanding of religion and ethnic policies, and completely settle his worries. Regardless of the day-to-day affairs, he came to Baoji personally to deal with the incident. As a landlord, Yu Youren also came with him. As important Muslim leaders, the Northwest Sanma also arrived one after another, and they were accompanied by famous imams from the Shaanxi-Gansu area.
The Hui-Han conflict has been peaceful for decades since Zuo Zongtang’s suppression campaign, but the older generation still has lingering fears when it comes to mentioning it. Among Hui imams, Zhang Hanqing's reputation has become much louder in recent years, mainly due to his suppression of separatist forces in Mongolia. People who don't know the truth are worried whether he will go on a killing spree this time. Although the young marshal used the name of "symposium" this time, no one can sit still until they find out the young marshal's trump card.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Hanqing came in with a smile and greeted everyone according to Islamic etiquette. In order to prepare for today's meeting, he spent a week reading the thick Quran and carefully studying the books on Muslim teachings collected by Gao Jiyi. He also took careful notes, straightened out his thoughts and finally He formed his opinions on handling ethnic and religious issues, which later became the established national policy of the Republic of China.
Wang Yizhe, Han Linchun, Fourth Division Commander Zhang Chengde, Second Division Commander Song Jiuling, General Munitions Minister Mi Chunlin and other backbones of the People's Army accompanied them in formal attire. With this formation alone, today will definitely not be good. The three horses exchanged glances tacitly, and according to their previous thoughts, if necessary, they would sacrifice one Ma Cunqing. If the angry young commander sets off a major inter-ethnic dispute, it will be another catastrophe for the Hui people, and it will not just be a matter of the status of a few people being affected.
Seeing that although everyone was smiling, the muscles on their faces were still tense, Zhang Hanqing knew that he needed to lighten the atmosphere. It’s not like you really want to fall out, why are you being so serious?
"Everyone is so serious, Xueliang couldn't help but become nervous. It's not just some ignorant child soldiers causing a dispute. I invite you here just to listen to your opinions on how to properly handle this matter so that the Hui and Han peoples can have long-term stability. Let’s get along amicably.”
His opening words set the tone and downplayed the Hui-Han conflict as just a "dispute" between individuals. This opening remark made people breathe a sigh of relief. However, he referred to these people as "child soldiers" and did not look at his age, which was even younger than some of them. After all, he is just a "baby general" at best.
Ma Fuxiang is a person who hopes that big things will be reduced to trivial matters. He immediately said hurriedly: "Young Marshal can think like this, it is really a blessing for the Hui people. In Ma's opinion, the People's Army has just arrived, and some people do not understand the customs of the local Hui people. Yes, it was an unintentional mistake, and it will be enough to be properly informed in the future. As for Ma Cunqing, who has no friendship with his comrades, and Ma Shouzhi, the soldier who instigated the Han-Hui conflict, they must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others. .”
He was the first person to know what happened and had a preliminary understanding of what happened. After the incident, the military police detained Ma Cunqing, Liu Erleng, and Ma Shouzhi separately, and the Han and Hui groups who participated in the melee were also detained in groups, which already showed that Ma Shouzhi's matter was not easy.
But even though he said this, he still left some room for error. Although the words "severely punished" and "heavyly dealt with" are different, they clearly show his attitude: he neither wants the matter to escalate, nor does he want the returnees to be dealt with more seriously.
Zhang Hanqing pretended not to know, but said with a hearty smile: "We are all outsiders, and we still don't know the truth of the matter.I understand very well. Wouldn't it be a bit arbitrary to punish people who cause disputes like this? At least we should listen to what they have to say, right? Without waiting for others to agree, he already signaled to Jiang Huanan: "Let them come in." "
?????????????????????????????? What good things can come out of being captured by the military police who are in charge of discipline? Ma Fuxiang and others thought that Ma Cunqing and others would shed their skins even if they were not dead. Even if they led the troops themselves, the punishment for soldiers who disobeyed military orders or caused internal disunity would be very severe.
But what surprised them was that the clothes they saw were intact and their faces were rosy. They did not appear to have been tortured or imprisoned for several days without food. Liu Erling, Ma Cunqing, and about twenty others filed in, not forgetting to salute the young marshal and everyone else.
What surprised Ma Fuxiang again was that Zhang Hanqing and others returned the gift, which was unimaginable for veteran Hui leaders like them. Since ancient times, only small soldiers have knelt down and worshiped when they saw a general. How could a general return the favor? However, looking at Zhang Hanqing and others' actions that were not sensational, and Liu Erling's very natural reaction, it seems that the "officers and soldiers are one family" promoted by the People's Army is true, and at least it has done a good job in this regard.
After being in confinement for a few days, I thought about many things after I calmed down. Ma Cunqing was inevitably upset when he thought about the Qing Dynasty's tough handling of the Shaanxi-Gansu rebellion mentioned by his parents. Fortunately, although they are locked up, they still have plenty of food. But it’s hard to say whether the food doesn’t taste good or not.
Seeing that they were all stunned, Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "We are not discussing punishment this time, but a discussion. A discussion, as the name suggests, requires sitting, how about standing? That is training and punishment, haha." Wang Yizhe had ordered people in time. Four or five benches were taken, and about twenty people sat down one after another without crowding, showing good military appearance and discipline.
Zhang Hanqing nodded and said: "That's good. Today I have invited all the highly respected imams, as well as the military guards and garrison envoys, so that you can explain the cause, process and thoughts of the incident in public. Don't worry. , I think all the imams and military guards will have a good balance of rights and wrongs."
Liu Er stood up in shock and said loudly: "Young Marshal, I did something wrong. I should not have violated the People's Army's regulations on ethnic policies. Brother Ma was angry for a moment. If you want to punish me, punish me." I'm ready."
Wang Yizhe and Zhang Hanqing looked at each other and smiled. This Liu Er was stunned. He didn't know a few words and looked very stunned, but he finally fulfilled his mission and spent a few days memorizing this manuscript. If he hadn't started a small business alone, he wouldn't have been able to say such relatively "literary" words.
His words stunned the entire audience. The scene of arguments that Ma Fuxiang and the others expected was gone. They didn't even need the excuses they had prepared. They took all the responsibility. With this responsibility, the three horses and the imams were speechless. It can be said.
Ma Cunqing quits. Although Liu Erleng gave him a piece of pork regardless of his national custom, he was a comrade in the trenches after all, and he also developed some simple feelings during daily training. Besides, he also has a certain responsibility for what happened. If others have the loyalty to shoulder the responsibility, he can't be too coward, right? So he stood up and said, "I was the first to do this, and the responsibility belongs to me."
There is no need to raise an army to investigate, people will rush to admit it. Ma Fuxiang looked at Zhang Hanqing and couldn't help but secretly praise: "This is a brilliant move."
"But Zhang Hanqing did not let them admit their mistakes by making things happen in a big way. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's not investigate whose fault it is. What I want to know is why this conflict was caused." He looked at Liu Er and asked, "Why do you want Ma Cunqing to eat pork?"
Liu Er lowered his head in confusion: "Report to the young marshal, I just wanted to see if he really doesn't eat pork, but I didn't expect him to react so strongly."
Wang Yizhe answered: "Comrade Liu Erleng, please tell me about the party's ethnic policy."
Liu Er was stunned and picked up what he said. This was emphasized time and time again by the Political Department of the People's Army, and he could more or less follow it up: "I would rather sleep in the snowy mountain grasslands, sheep pens and stables than enter temples and scripture halls; I would rather dig wild vegetables to satisfy hunger." , nor distribute food to temples; do not watch or make noise at religious venues; do not interfere with, ridicule, or discuss normal religious believers; do not use discriminatory titles; respect the religious beliefs and traditional culture of ethnic areas"
Despite Liu Erling’s dazed appearance, he memorized so many clauses very well. Although he didn't know a few Chinese characters, these things had been imprinted on his mind smoothly under the consistent emphasis of the political departments at all levels.
After listening to his recitation, some upper-level imams could not help but nod, indicating that the People's Army was interested. If we can really do this, are there any problems among the various ethnic groups that cannot be solved, and are there still any issues that require a major war? Full respect for YSL teachings!
Zhang Hanqing also nodded. Wang Yizhe seemed to have done a lot of work. He deserved to be the director of the political department. He nodded to Wang Yizhe to show encouragement.
But he didn’t just want to express respect to the Hui leaders through Liu Erling’s words, there were many things he had yet to do. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)It seemed that Yizhe had done a lot of work, and he deserved to be the director of the political department.

"Comrade Liu Erleng, you recite it fluently, but how do you implement it? Tell me, have you realized your mistake?"
Liu Er was dumbfounded and replied seriously: "Report to the Young Marshal, I did not respect the living habits of ethnic minority areas, and I thought it was a joke about the diet of comrade Ma Cunqing. I will correct these mistakes in the future."
This attitude is very correct. The imams were very pleased and wanted to express their comfort, but someone was faster than them.
"Director Wang, according to the regulations of the People's Army, how should Comrade Liu Erleng be punished for his mistakes?" The person who spoke was Zhang Hanqing.
"Report to the young marshal. According to the regulations, if he can correct his mistakes after he realizes them, he should be sentenced to fifteen days of confinement. Since he has been detained for four days, he still needs to be detained for eleven days."
Zhang Hanqing nodded and said seriously: "Then continue the execution!"
Wang Yizhe saluted and accepted the order. He waved his hand and two military policemen came over. Liu Er was stunned and raised his hands in salute.
At this time, another voice came out: "Young Marshal, I also want to review my mistakes. According to the Young Marshal's request, 'Wherever possible, do not share the same water source with ethnic minority people; if there are real difficulties, set up special buckets "Never use containers filled with pork lard to fetch water." The Munitions Department did not realize the requirements of the newly joined Hui soldiers in time, so it failed to arrange special meals and meals in time. We have a great responsibility for this conflict. Please punish me, Marshal."
The person who spoke was Mi Chunlin, the general munitions director of the Northwest People's Army.
This time the imams came forward in time to smooth things over. After all, Mi Chunlin was a lieutenant general with two stars on his shoulders, and his status was very important. Even he was harshly criticized, which shows that the ethnic policy of the People's Army is not false. Although the nationalities are different, their hearts are the same, and they also strongly feel that they are respected.
An imam said: "Young Marshal, we have all seen the sincerity of the People's Army. This little soldier has no ill intentions at all. Since he has said it, please forgive him. But Ma Cunqing and Ma Shouzhi should explain to him seriously that we People's habits should not have such an overreaction. The Prophet once said: 'Those who do not allow peace to their neighbors are not Muslims.' The behavior of the two of them is not the behavior of real Muslims and needs to be punished by a young marshal."
"It's no wonder that imams in various places are basically highly respected, well-informed, and courteous. This is a fair point of view. They are all the same people. It is impossible to punish one person and let the other person go lightly. This is because they actively seek punishment.
Although some people disagreed in their hearts, on the surface, they all nodded in agreement, and some said: "One slap can't make a difference. If the young marshal punishes this little soldier, then everyone else should be punished together." "
Zhang Hanqing nodded and said: "The imam's opinion is very pertinent. A slap in the face can't make a difference. If one party was strict in paying attention to this incident and the other could treat it leniently, there should not have been such a big fuss. Xueliang leads the troops in an incompetent way. Make everyone laugh.”
Everyone dared not dare to speak, and even complimented Zhang Hanqing's strict discipline, and they must be punished by mistakes.
"Why did Xueliang let everyone come over to see what happened? That's because Xueliang wanted everyone to see with their own eyes that some conflicts between Hui and Han and other ethnic groups are originally small things. But if we don't deal with it or deal with it, If it is inappropriate, people of all ethnic groups will not be able to complain if they have grievances. Over time, grievances will accumulate.
“Perhaps one day, because of a trivial matter, instigated by some people with ulterior motives, it may escalate into a national conflict. He pointed at Ma Shouzhi: "That's what this comrade is." Originally, Liu Erleng and Ma Cunqing had just a small conflict. They were angry and just talked about it. As soon as he came forward and yelled "Han people fight back people", he elevated a small conflict to a major event that affected the unity of Hui and Han people. . "
Ma Shouzhi bowed his head to admit his mistake.
"It doesn't matter once, but what about twice or three times? Will it give others the impression that the conflict is irreconcilable? What should we do in that era? Only the copycats will do it!" He smiled, relaxed the atmosphere, and pointed to the seat. More than two dozen people on the bench: "Look at this gang fight, four soldiers were seriously injured, and one of them is still in the field hospital. If they don't know the truth, what will happen to his family, relatives, friends, and neighbors?" See? Sometimes when rumors are spread, the thorn will be pierced in the heart. Over time, any disturbance will pierce the thorn deeper. "
Zhang Hanqing's expression gradually became serious: "I believe those of you sitting here who are a little older can still remember the Shaanxi-Gansu Rebellion that occurred during the Tongzhi period. The lessons learned from that time were very profound. More than 20 million Han people and more than one million Hui people became Innocent victims were killed! Although there are various reasons, the people who originally lived in this land in the Han Dynasty have generally lived in peace for hundreds of years, because this time the chaos broke out again.There have been great changes. "
When everyone heard that the young marshal suddenly mentioned this matter, the faces of many imams gradually became serious. People who have never experienced it will also read it in books, or pass it down from generation to generation through the mouths of the elderly at home. It was really a huge disaster!
During the Tongzhi period, the Taiping Army’s Western Expedition entered Shaanxi, and the Hui people in many places responded. Under the leadership of Islamic religious leaders, the Hui people took advantage of the turbulent situation in the late Qing Dynasty and attempted to establish an Islamic country that combined politics and religion in China. After the riot began, they first killed thousands of Han people in Badujing, and then killed Zhang Fu, the pacifier, Qing emperor's teacher, and Shaanxi Tuanlian minister, escalating the riot and widespread massacres. In the Qing Dynasty, Duolonga first led troops to quell the rebellion. Later, Duolonga died in battle in Zhouzhi County, Shaanxi Province, and ordered Zuo Zongtang to send troops to quell the rebellion. He was invincible and finally quelled the riot.
As a result, more than 20 million Han people lost their lives, and the Han people in Guanzhong were almost massacred. Of course, the Hui people were also massacred in retaliation by Zuo Zongtang. This shadow led to the Ma Jiajun's continuous retaliatory actions against the Han people in the northwest in history, and also made the Ma Jiajun notorious in history.
Today, studying this period of history still has positive significance, and it sets a negative mirror for how Hui and Han people coexist. Although the important party Zuo Zongtang committed murder, he was able to implement the policy of "suppression and appeasement" when dealing with difficult ethnic issues. He once said repeatedly: "In the past, the Han Hui had vendettas, and the songs were endless." "The disasters caused by the Shaanxi Hui were actually caused by the Han people because the Han and Hui had been grudges for a long time and started provocations."
But the lives of more than 20 million people can be called a religious war. After the war in Guanzhong, the Shaanxi Guan Nei was not repaired for decades, which affected Luoyang, Henan and other places. In the subsequent selection of the capital for the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Shaanxi and Henan regions were not selected due to economic decline, largely due to the Hui riots.
Zhang Hanqing's words aroused the sensitive nerves of the three horses and imams. They instinctively thought that the young marshal was coming to settle accounts again. However, if you really think so, why would you adopt such a seemingly fair and friendly attitude? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 474 What is fairness?
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
"The reason is mainly due to the irrational distribution of resources caused by poverty, and the lack of appeals caused by the corruption and injustice of the Qing government. Under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, disputes turned into wars, and vendettas turned into massacres! This It is a suffering for the entire Chinese nation and a serious violation of YSL teachings.
Although I haven’t had much exposure to this, I still have some insights that I would like to share with you.
In this land where our ancestors have lived for generations, there are various ethnic groups with various habits. We cannot simply think which habits are good and which habits are bad. A Western philosopher once said, "Whatever exists is reasonable." Each nation has the right to formulate relevant regulations for its own nation based on its own situation, thereby forming a tradition. In this case, as long as the tradition does not violate the laws of the government, it is protected, recognized, and needs to be observed by people with the same beliefs.
But your tradition cannot affect other people’s traditions, because the Quran also says that ‘all human beings are equal’, so the idea and approach that you must respect my tradition and I don’t need to care about your tradition is selfish. "
What he said means something. In terms of religion, the Hui people believe in Islam and reject non-Muslims, especially Han people. This is a fact. Before Zhang Hanqing traveled through time, the girlfriend of one of his classmates was a Muslim. Their relationship was greatly resisted by the woman's family and they eventually broke up. Zhang Hanqing also enthusiastically gossiped about some common sense at that time. Whether it was right or wrong, true or false, it was deeply imprinted in his mind:
Hui men can marry Han women, but generally they are not allowed to marry outside; in the event that a Han man marries a Hui woman, the man must fast, join Christianity (ysl), abstain from eating meat (pork), and abide by the Quran and " The various contents, diet, and living habits in the Hadith must be greatly changed. Regardless of marriage, the children born must believe in YSL teachings
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of absolute discrimination and exclusion, this is a typical only in but not out. No wonder the Hui people are the most widespread ethnic minority in China and are growing stronger!
Not eating pork can be understood as a custom and needs to be respected, but other things are a bit hard to do. Are the Han people not human beings? Doesn’t the Han nationality need to be respected? In the final analysis, this is an artificial obstacle to ethnic exchanges to reduce the possibility of Han-Hui intermarriage.
"What is a Muslim? Anyone who obeys the truth can be one. The Hui can be one, the Han can be one, and other ethnic groups can be one. Even as far as I know, the number of Muslims in China is the largest in the world. Very few. In contrast, there are many inheritors in the Middle East, the Indian Peninsula, the Malay Peninsula and the East Indies. It is their tolerance that makes YSL religion one of the three most popular religions in the world along with Christ and Buddhism. Big sect.
I admire and respect the true Muslims very much. You must know that in the Quran, the promotion of education, credit, kindness, discipline, unity, friendship, and equality are the most precious wealth of mankind. These are the same as those of Confucianism. The benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust advocated in the culture have different approaches but the same purpose.
I know that some Hui people have prejudices against the Han people. They think that the Han people have robbed their land, made them unable to graze, or experienced bullying by some bullies. But what needs to be clarified is that these people only account for a very small part of the Han people, and the Han people are also bullied by them. Moreover, some upper-level Hui people also oppress the Hui people.
Since the People's Army entered the northwest, they have seen that the people in the northwest have no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to feed them, while the upper-class Han people and Hui people still exploit them ruthlessly. Therefore, it is not that a particular nation is good or bad, but the scum that appears in every nation makes life difficult for the people. One of the goals of our People's Army and People's Party is to seek justice for the oppressed compatriots!
The idea of ??excluding Han people from Muslims is extremely selfish and goes against the will of your God. Where does the history of the Hui people in China come from? People who know history should not ignore the fact that the Hui people were gradually formed during the Mongolian army's Western Expedition in the 13th century AD when people from the Western Regions moved into China in large numbers and absorbed elements of Han, Mongolian, Uyghur and other ethnic groups.
In the process of its formation, Chinese Confucian culture, which is known for its tolerance, gave it great convenience. As for the Han people, they have lived here for thousands of years before the Hui people were formed. If anyone robbed whose land, it should be the Hui people who robbed the Han people! Of course, we do not have such narrow-minded thinking now. Regardless of whether they are Hui Han or other ethnic groups living on this land, they are all part of the Chinese nation. They should join hands to create a beautiful homeland, instead of you guarding me and I guarding you.
There is also a heretical theory, which is that the autonomy, self-reliance and even independence advocated by some ethnic groups need to be understood by all imams.??It's harmful. The Chinese nation has always had a tradition of safeguarding unity and has spared no effort in attacking separatist forces. The distant ones include Kangxi's two attacks on Zhungar, and the recent ones include Zuo Zongtang's suppression of the Xinjiang and Shaanxi-Gansu riots - this is Pu'erma and others' attempt to take advantage of the turmoil in the late Qing Dynasty to establish a theocracy in China. What about the country?
More recently, Mongolian Babu Danzun Living Buddha wanted to proclaim himself king, but was shot at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain. Some people question why their nation cannot become its own country? The answer is simple. If every ethnic group wanted to establish its own country, and would expel other ethnic groups, the world would be in chaos!
Because of the inclusiveness of the Chinese nation, many ethnic groups live together, which has created a situation where you are among me and you are among me. If you want to be independent, you can be independent, but what about other ethnic groups? People have lived here for thousands of years! According to this logic, foreign nations should find their own place to establish an independent country! You can't use other people's tolerance as a basis for your excuses. What's the difference between you and a landlord bully?
As for those who use various methods to threaten others when their goals are not achieved, it will not be tolerated. The Quran says: ‘Whoever bullies the infidels who live in peace with each other, bullies my saint’. Different ethnic groups should live in peace, and those who maintain security and make everyone feel at ease are Muslims. If the legal and moral requirements still cannot convince you, then use the law to achieve it.
After the Mongolian separatist forces were basically eliminated, the Mongolian government learned from the painful experience and drafted a law on stopping separatism, which is now being debated.
I might as well reveal here that its main idea is to use a red line that cannot be crossed to define all ethnic groups and all people living in the land of the Republic of China. They should not do things that endanger public order and national security, especially Those who collude with foreign forces to do evil will be dealt a devastating blow by the government.
When the time is right, we will formally promulgate it through the central government. When it comes to safeguarding national security, there is no room for bargaining. There is no distinction between religious beliefs and nationalities. There is only distinction between patriotism and betrayal!
Everyone is equal before the law, and all ethnic groups are equal. This is the consistent purpose of the People's Party and the government. On this land, everyone and any nation has the right to believe in religion, and of course they have the right to not believe in religion. They cannot be discriminated against or forced. "
This theory is still very new in this era, but the concept of ethnic equality put forward by Shao Shuai, a representative figure of the Han nationality in a strong position, is still very popular, at least it resonates in the hearts of everyone present.
The young marshal in front of him does not have the problem of Han chauvinism, and he seems to care about the status of ethnic minorities. So although there are some small, uh, flaws in what he said, the main idea is still very good. At least so far, his words have been listened to by everyone.
"But," Zhang Hanqing changed his subject. What follows is the theme he wants to express today, and the thousands of words in front are just foreshadowing:
"It needs to be emphasized that many Muslim brothers are biased in their understanding. They believe that Muslims are Hui people and Hui people are Muslims. This statement is completely wrong and is also a discriminatory distortion of scripture and meaning. Muslims It can be anyone from any ethnic group, that is to say, not all Muslims are Muslims, and not all Muslims are Muslims.”
Some sensitive imams began to wonder. This young marshal kept chattering about detours between Muslims and Muslims. What exactly did he want to express? And this sentence is indeed correct, but it always sounds a little weird. Someone began to express different opinions: "Young Marshal, the Hui people are all loyal Muslims." Although this is not a fact, he also said that this is an attitude.
"No, those landlord bullies among the Hui people can't be considered Muslims, right? So we can only say that there are more Muslim brothers among the Hui people." Zhang Hanqing smiled slyly.
The person who retorted was speechless. The methods used by some upper-class people among the Hui people to harm the Hui people are in no way comparable to the YSL teachings of being friendly to others.
"I emphasize this just to show that sometimes ethnicity and religion must be viewed in two separate ways. Belief in Islam is not the exclusive right of any nation. Hui people can do it, and so can Han people. This is only fair and reasonable. Similarly, those who believe in Islam can The people should not be distinguished between high and low in life, and naturally there should be no exclusion."
At this time, an imam responded: "Young Marshal, our religion has never excluded believers."
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "This is a bit absolute. As far as I know, intermarriage between Han people or other ethnic groups and Hui people in families who both believe in YSL is still subject to some secular opposition. I heard that the children after marriage must become Hui people. , is there some ethnic discrimination in this? As long as you believe in Muslims, isn't it okay to become another ethnic group?" He said leisurely: "It seems that the Quran does not have such a requirement."
Wang Yizhe looked at Zhang Hanqing with admiration, and in a few words he got around to the topic of this conversation. The young marshal is really capable. Although he seems to be very knowledgeable about ethnic and religious issues now, he made a joke in a private conversation not long ago that the Hui people are Muslims. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)He said leisurely: "It seems that there is no such requirement in the Quran."

Chapter 475 This issue is very complicated
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Ethnic issues are inherently problems for all countries, and if they are mixed with religion, it becomes almost unsolvable. The United States is so powerful in later generations, but it also keeps a distance from Afghanistan and Iran, which are wrapped in turbans, which is enough to illustrate the power of this force.
In China, due to thousands of years of tradition, the Han nationality’s dominant position in the population, and the inclusiveness of Confucian culture, Han nationality culture has become the mainstream in terms of social subjects. Under this circumstance, the ethnic minorities gradually integrated with the Han people during their long-term common life, forming a diversified Chinese national culture.
This process has the same evolution in all countries around the world, that is, inter-ethnic marriage. Only when there is a situation where you are in me and I am in you, can the integration of both parties truly complement each other and promote each other.
However, due to the strong influence of YSL culture, the integration process of YSL culture and Han culture has not been smooth throughout history. The reason is that the unique tradition of YSL culture makes the integration of both parties - inter-ethnic marriage, become a unilateral request. During this era, the Hui people strictly implemented the tradition of "Hui girls not marrying outsiders", which made the integration between Hui and Han far less smooth than other ethnic groups.
Even in later generations, according to the 2000 census results, the national Hui-Han intermarriage rate was only 12.2%, which was far lower than the 81.58% of other ethnic groups. This is evident.
This is the hidden point of YSL religion: it isolates religion and subjects to prevent assimilation, and then slowly develops through marriage arrangements and population increase, and finally achieves the replacement of local civilization. Kind-hearted Muslim individuals do not represent the aggressive nature of Islam as a whole. There is no precedent in the world for Muslims to peacefully integrate into non-YSL civilizations.
Considering the complexity of the problem, Zhang Hanqing needed an "ice-breaking" trip. The first step is to open a bright road for intermarriage between Muslims and Han Muslims. This is relatively easy because it does not violate YSL doctrine. As for the ethnic issues of the next generation, it needs to be done step by step, but an opening must be made first.
Marriage is a bond between two families, and inter-ethnic marriage will also become a bond between two ethnic groups. As long as people gradually lose their secular perspective on inter-ethnic marriage, it will be a symbol of the true integration between ethnic groups. This requires a process and perseverance.
This is also Zhang Hanqing’s first direction: to break the possibility of “unity of race and religion”.
The imams are all knowledgeable teachers or scholars among the Hui people. They are naturally proficient in the teachings and know that the Prophet actually approved of intermarriage among Muslims. When the young marshal mentioned this issue, it was really difficult for them to refute it.
But Zhang Hanqing is not just here to be a matchmaker today, he also has a big bomb that he hasn’t dropped yet. He glanced at the eyes of the Hui leaders and said to himself: "Hui Han and other people of all ethnic groups live on this land and need to live in harmony and respect each other's living habits. We can understand each other and the painful scene before will not happen again easily.
But these are far from enough. There were actually two main reasons for the Shaanxi-Gansu riots: the corruption of the Qing government and the poverty of the people.
Corruption has resulted in no redress for grievances, and long-term estrangement has caused the dominant Han and Manchu senior leaders to not understand some of the customs of the Hui brothers, and the Hui brothers have no effective channels to release their demands, resulting in increasingly confrontational sentiments. The heavier.
Poverty inevitably leads to irreconcilable conflicts in the struggle for limited resources. In the Shaanxi-Gansu riots, other ethnic groups were also involved. I think even if it were other ethnic groups living together with the Hui people, the same consequences would occur. This has nothing to do with ethnicity, but is caused by economic conditions. "
The imams agreed. In fact, they have also deeply reflected on this.
However, in China, which is poor and weak, and in China where education is backward (many examples show that the higher the education level, the higher the tolerance for inter-ethnic marriage), at least this issue can be viewed more rationally, such as in the previous life. Zhang Hanqing’s classmate’s interracial love), they couldn’t come up with a solution at all. The authorities do not have this vision, and the country does not have such conditions.
Now that Zhang Hanqing has analyzed this issue relatively objectively, some imams naturally express their expectations for this. Even Ma Fuxiang and Ma Qi also became interested: "The young marshal's words have touched on the root cause. Does he have a way to solve it?"
Zhang Hanqing really has a way. He has no secrets, because to solve this problem, he needs the efforts of these imams: "For the former, there is one way to solve it, and that is regional ethnic autonomy, allowing all ethnic groups to participate in the management of local affairs. Come."
The imams did not appear excited. In fact, since Zhang Hanqing entered the northwest, Ningxia and Qinghai have been completely controlled by the Three Horses. They have long participated in or even "led" the management of local affairs. But, okay??It has not made any progress in solving ethnic issues? In areas where the Hui people dominate, dissatisfaction among the Han people is also quite high. And more importantly, they were defeated by the Han nationality army led by Zhang Hanqing!
Zhang Hanqing seemed to see what they were thinking: "The ethnic regional autonomy I am talking about does not mean that anyone can establish himself as a king and arbitrarily oppress other ethnic groups! This autonomy has a bottom line, which is to adhere to patriotism, abide by the laws of the Republic of China and Above the conditions of central management! Those who act independently like Mongolia under the guise of autonomy are destined to be opposed by the central government and the people of the country. You must remember this!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out and let one ethnic group ride on the head of other ethnic groups, but all ethnic groups come together to make suggestions for the governance of this region, no matter which ethnic group is managed, they must uphold one principle, that is, all ethnic groups are equal.
According to this idea, we plan to establish a new province in Ningxia, where the Hui people are the majority. It will still follow the management structure of the central provinces, but select ethnic minority cadres, especially the Hui people, to participate in important positions in the government. This plan has Reported to the Central Committee. "
The imams began to be shocked. They never expected that the young marshal who had already occupied the power of military and political management would take the initiative to delegate power and make it clear that the Hui people would take on the important responsibility of managing the government. Is this pie in the sky? My ancestors have lived here for hundreds of years, and this is the first time they have legally received such a good thing.
"Is it true! Young Marshal?"
Of course it is true. I believe that this method of dividing Ningxia will be approved. Gansu is so big that it can be divided into kings. This has nothing to do with ethnicity, but is China's thousands of years of tradition. Zhang Guangjian, who was expelled, was a Han, so he was still trying to establish his own kingdom?
??The goals of establishing Ningxia as a province are multi-faceted. In the past, in the Muslim areas, although Han people were high-ranking officials, the government's decrees could not compare with the authority of the imams. When encountering problems, the Hui people will still rely on the opinions of the imams, which objectively forms a force to compete with the government.
And most of the imams in northern Qinghai belong to "high-ranking families" with a hereditary religious system and special status, and are recognized by Muslims. They are called "officials" by Muslims. Its internal structure is very much like a Jianghu gang. The wishes of the leader (leader) are the wishes of the entire clan. Therefore, the followers of the clan are very united and dare to fight
After learning this, Zhang Hanqing naturally thought of the "family politics" in history. His idea of ??dividing the country into provinces also sprouted from this.
No one within the Hui ethnic group should oppose the autonomy of the Hui people, because it is beneficial to the ethnic group. As long as an effective top-down administrative structure can be established with the support of the people, the highly influential and impenetrable "monastic" system will fall apart.
Because administrative power cannot be hereditary, it must be based on merit.
It is difficult for "outsiders" to change the Muslim world, and it is very easy to cause a backlash, like the US's intervention in the Middle East in later generations. There is only one way, let them want to change. It will be relatively easy to achieve the goal of changing customs through the government of the people of this ethnic group.
This is Zhang Hanqing’s second direction: to break the possibility of “unity of politics and religion”. Türkiye can do it, and Zhang Hanqing believes he can do it too.
There are many such examples in history. A few years later, in Turkey, the stronghold of the Turks, it was successfully accomplished.
Kemal became Turkey's first president on October 29, 1923. He carried out comprehensive reforms in many aspects such as legislation, administration, culture, education, and customs. For example, government officials were required to wear suits and women were not allowed to wear them. Veil, etc., while replacing Arabic letters with Latin letters in language and characters. His strict policy of separation of church and state cleared the way for Turkey's secularization.
In the later Pan-Turkic strongholds, Zhang Hanqing was still very confident in completing the secularization of these ethnic groups before this extreme trend of thought took shape. The direction of his efforts is: No matter you are Hui, Uighur, Han, or other ethnic minorities, you can only unite under the banner of one China and have the obligation to contribute to the strength and prosperity of the country. Strive for sovereignty and independence, rather than thinking or acting on separatism.
Bad traditions are meant to be changed. Otherwise, what is it called a revolution?
China has always had a tradition of centralization of power. "Under the whole world, everything is the king's land; on the shores of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers." Western religious forces have always competed with the secular royal power. China's religious forces have always been a dependence on the feudal royal power. From worshiping Buddha to exterminating Buddha, from respecting Taoism to abandoning Taoism, rulers are constantly suppressing the development of religion while using religion to maintain power. This has made it impossible for Western titles such as Pope to grow in China.
On the land of China, if the development of any religion undermines the state's control over administrative power, then it will be the end of its life. On China's territory, those who follow the historical trend and can be integrated organically with other ethnic groups are all part of the Chinese nation and enjoy equal rights.
Rather than being that "race that is not ours" that "must have different hearts", Zhang Hanqing will never hesitate to drive them all out of China's territory - go wherever you like, China will not welcome you!

Chapter 476 Divide and Conquer
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Of course, while achieving the "separation of ethnicity and religion" and "separation of politics and religion", if through the improvement of economic conditions, the originally relatively solid ethnic groups can become mobile and see the outside world, through more exchanges, it will be easier to understand them. With a fair and benevolent heart, we will have a greater understanding of this policy and reduce obstacles.
Religion, which arises from poverty and ignorance, will inevitably lose the soil to rely on as civilization evolves. Civilization, including material civilization and spiritual civilization, is the best antidote. The solution is to develop the economy and education.
By grasping these two items, we will grasp the fundamental solution to ethnic issues.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing put a lot of effort into this, and believed that his painstaking efforts could be understood by the Central Committee. Moreover, relying on his influence from the Central Committee and the general trend of history, he solemnly said: "certainly.
Considering that Gansu is too large and difficult to manage, it is planned to be split into three provinces: Qinghai, Ningxia and the new Gansu. These newly established provinces will divide some areas inhabited by ethnic minorities into autonomous counties and banners, giving these ethnic groups the opportunity to participate in government management. "
The reason why Ningxia did not use the title of autonomous region is that Zhang Hanqing was fed up with the confusing regional division methods of later generations: a district can be very large - an autonomous region at the same provincial level, or it can be very small - a municipal district, with administrative levels ranging from There are provincial and ministerial levels, departmental levels, deputy departmental levels, and divisional levels. People who don’t understand China’s administrative system will be confused.
"Chinese characters are broad and profound. Apart from this character, is there really nothing else that can replace it?" Zhang Hanqing suddenly had a strong thought: If it is really difficult to replace him, then don't replace him. Now, just define districts and counties as being on the same level. It is just a renaming when the urban population reaches a certain proportion.
Ningxia was originally a very small area, but because Zhang Hanqing was not prepared to restore Inner Mongolia's organizational structure, he assigned the Alxa League to it. Since Alxa is managed by Ningxia Province as a Mongolian Autonomous League, it is much larger than the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in official history. From then on, Ningxia, Suiyuan, Chahar, and Rehe were collectively known as the "Four Provinces in Northern Saipei".
In this way, a pattern is formed in which I am among you and you are among me. Although there will inevitably be conflicts, if you want a slap in the face to start a wave of independence, you must first see whether other weaker ethnic groups will do it. And if any party ignores the interests of weak ethnic groups, the more powerful government can confidently and forcefully intervene
In Zhang Hanqing's vision, the name Mongolian Autonomous Province will be canceled at the appropriate time and become a province of the Republic of China in the full sense. Among its subordinate administrative agencies, some administrative levels with similar administrative levels can be established appropriately according to the situation. , cities, autonomous leagues and autonomous prefectures. In this way, at least in the sub-level administrative agencies of the Republic of China, the name "autonomous province" will never appear. As for areas that exist as autonomous leagues or autonomous prefectures, the impact is much smaller, and it is basically difficult to stir up any waves.
When Mongolia was still establishing an autonomous province, Zhang Hanqing did not like the term "Jiawei Autonomy", but he was forced to do so due to the situation. In his view, autonomy is actually the indulgence of separatist tendencies.
“Perhaps the most significant thing the Manchus did to China was to turn Manchuria and Xinjiang into provinces. At the beginning of the Republic of China, (Outer) Mongolia was changed into a province, and the philosophy of the big baking furnace was adopted, but it was a pity that this furnace did not bake well. Investigating the reason, Zhang Hanqing believes that the local ethnic group has a numerical advantage.
“When people of the same ethnic group are around them, it is very easy to have a sense of identity and to stick together to deal with others. Even the Han people themselves have the problem of being excluded by their provincial origins.
But when the number of other ethnic groups reaches a certain proportion, such as more than 10%, it will naturally demand the right to speak politically, and it has to take this demand into consideration. Therefore, the best way to solve ethnic problems is to live together. This is both a countermeasure and a historical necessity. Like in later generations when transportation was developed, social mobility was extremely high, and ethnic minorities within a country could always live in the same place? This statement is wrong.
When this time comes, as long as the country can take advantage of the situation and allow all ethnic groups to live together, intermarry, and live together, that will be the time when all ethnic groups are truly equal. Sometimes, some of the practices of our government are to remind others all the time: pay attention to ethnic issues, your ethnic group is different from others!
“For example, autonomous regions, autonomous prefectures, autonomous counties…that’s all, but you still have to tell people by name that this is a certain ethnic group’s autonomous region, state, or county. I’m really afraid that it has no outside intentions. Also, since we all live on this land, why should we name the area after a certain ethnic group? Doesn’t this create a strong mentality invisibly?
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing decided that when defining provincial-level ethnic autonomous regions in the future, as long as the number of a certain ethnic group does not reach half of the total population of the entire region.?It must not be named by the name of an ethnic region, such as the current Mongolian Autonomous Province, entirely because Mongolians make up the majority. When the Mongols account for less than half, the autonomous province will be abolished.
Small-level regions can plan ethnic autonomous prefectures, counties, etc. But similarly, when the number of ethnic minorities is less than half of the total population of the region, the country will withdraw from the name of autonomy and become administrative units in the full sense: cities and counties. Even in areas where ethnic minority populations account for the majority, if a certain ethnic group does not account for the majority of ethnic minorities, they can only be named autonomous prefectures or counties, not autonomous prefectures or counties of certain ethnic groups.
This kind of means that only the government is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps. The Zhang family and his son were able to exclusively enjoy this treasure land in the Northeast in the name of "autonomy." He automatically forgot about this.
But it is true that hypocrites are not as good as true villains. In various ethnic areas, I can give appropriate policy preferences at certain times, but this can only be understood as the government's care and not as a matter of course. The Chinese government has always cared too much about good looks. As a result, a group of ungrateful people have used their brains and clamored for independence and freedom every day, and even evolved into terrorists and separatist organizations, making the people His face was pressed against the cold ass.
This is all that can be done at present. Ethnic and religious matters are very complicated, but as long as we uphold a policy of "ethnic equality" and a legal spirit that violates the law, and as economic conditions continue to improve, deep-seated ethnic integration will surely come. .
Wasn’t it like the Mongolian rebellion that he put down with force? Facts have proved that only a small group of people can destroy national unity and split the motherland. If these people are not killed, it will not be enough to make the people angry. If they are not killed, it will not be enough to shock the masses. If they are not killed, it is not enough to promote the overall situation of "ethnic equality." The crimes of treason are all the same, so why only give a green light to a certain ethnic group? That is the real national inequality!
Of course, in areas inhabited by ethnic minorities, especially places like Qinghai and Ningxia, the proportion of Han people is not large. In a sense, they are the real "minorities". However, it is still relatively difficult for the Han people to integrate into the main local life circles. In fact, this will also be the case in later generations. There are religious reasons and historical reasons.
In his best thinking, Zhang Hanqing could only allow a small group of people with ulterior motives to circulate in local governments at the prefectural and municipal levels. After distributing them to different provinces or even different regions, their power is dispersed to a certain extent.
As long as they cannot unite administratively and the government severely cracks down on some illegal and informal organizations, it will be difficult for the separatist forces to set off any wave or create any momentum. In the future, there will be a system of serving officials in different places and the establishment of standing committees at all levels to restrict power. Unless he opposes the central government in any way, Zhang Hanqing has various means to deal with it.
“Centralization can be done within the party, and the same can be done for ethnic issues.
"I have proposed Mr. Ma Qi to be the governor of Qinghai Province and Mr. Ma Tingxiang to be the governor of Ningxia Province. As the most important governor of Gansu Province in the northwest region, I have recommended Mr. Ma Fuxiang to take over." Zhang Hanqing extended an olive branch.
There is no surprise when the first two people take office, because they have always had traditional influence in the region, and it would be difficult for others to convince them. But in Gansu Province, where the number of Hui people is not large, Zhang Hanqing gave up the position of governor and gave it to a Hui people. It is very surprising - the young marshal talked about the dangers of ethnic division for a long time, but he was not afraid of the three Will the horses reunite to form a united group?
No need to be surprised, Zhang Hanqing is confident.
First of all, with the influence of the three horses, no one can easily give orders without their agreement. Rather than letting them become underground emperors, it is better to put their power on the bright side - they are still officials appointed by the Central Committee after all, and they cannot refuse the formal orders of the Central Committee - if in private, they There are many ways to make it a dead letter. The next few decrees will be implemented relatively smoothly, as long as they do not involve their fundamental interests.
Secondly, in accordance with the principle of separation of military and political affairs, if they become provincial governors, it means that they must also give up their influence in the military. Without the backing of force, Zhang Hanqing could take them down in seconds. With the strong presence of the Northwest People's Army, the remnants and influence of these local armed forces and factions will disappear from the stage in a very short period of time.
The most important thing is that Wang Shuhan, secretary of the Provincial Committee of the Mongolian Autonomous Province, who has successfully stabilized the situation in Mongolia, is on his way to Lanzhou. He will serve as chairman of the administrative committee of the Northwest Bureau of the People's Party established by Zhang Hanqing, and together with Wang Yizhe will become Zhang Hanqing's right-hand man in politics.
Because it is inconvenient to control the northwest from the northeast, it is also difficult for the "National Unification Council" to effectively exercise power. Under such circumstances, it is extremely easy for powerful separatist forces to emerge, and the northwest already has a tradition of separatism. Therefore, after obtaining Zhang Zuolin's consent, Wang Shuhan had the power to make temporary arrangements, which was enough to form effective supervision over the provinces.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhang Hanqing dared to give up the military and political power he had obtained. At that time, Guan Nei was still stuck in the "convention" of military governor and provincial governor, and there was no enlightenment at all under the rule of Feng Xi. The reason why I say "give" is because if it were anyone else, Zhang Hanqing, who was the envoy to inspect Shaanxi and Gansu and also the governor of Gansu, would definitely also be the governor of Gansu.
This time, the division of provinces is 8 years earlier than in the official history——

Chapter 477 Long-term layout

The shrewd Three Horsemen of the Northwest and the well-read imams will not fail to know the long-term impact of Zhang Hanqing's actions on the situation in the Northwest. When the national character of the people is replaced by more metaphysical equality, freedom, justice, rule of law, etc., the influence of religion will undoubtedly become weaker and weaker.
Compared with the superstructure, religion and the state apparatus inherently lack a kind of legitimacy, especially in a centralized country like China where "state and church are separated" and the influence of religion is only on a very small number of people.
But they can’t deny Zhang Hanqing’s spirit of national equality. Doing so is really good for everyone.
Considering the status of ethnic minorities in this era, Zhang Hanqing has undoubtedly made considerable benefits to ethnic minorities, especially the Hui people, and they heartily agreed.
"We deeply feel the Marshal's love for Muslims. May God bless you." Ma Fuxiang was the first to accept the goodwill. Regardless of anything else, Zhang Hanqing dared to entrust him with the management of such an important place in Gansu. Recognition of my previous work. His statement prompted the following two horses and imams to echo his words.
Yu Youren was convinced by Zhang Hanqing. He was originally very surprised that Zhang Hanqing was in a high position at such a young age. He only had a brief taste of his military acumen in Xi'an City, and was quite disapproving of his "villain" methods. The reason we came together this time was to see how the famous young marshal inside and outside the country solved the ethnic conflict that even gave him a headache. Therefore, he almost said nothing during the whole process and watched with cold eyes.
"But Zhang Hanqing has a good grasp of the relationship between religion, ethnicity and country, and he still manages it with ease, and has conceived a promising solution. Is it really possible for such a young Zhang Hanqing to come up with such a skillful political method? Then he really deserves the praise of being a genius.
"Governor Ma, there is no need to be modest. Your achievements in the Gansu Education Commission are seen by everyone. This is also the original intention of the National Unification Committee to recommend you to serve as the governor of Gansu. Education is responsible for getting rid of ignorance, developing the economy, and cultivating talents. , The important task of looking to the future is the hope for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The main tasks of the four provincial governors after taking office are to pay close attention to education, establish industry, and develop transportation. The northwest has always been barren, and everyone must work together to plan for development. .”
“His three directions and twelve words accurately express the dilemma and hope of northwest economic development. Others don't know it, but Ma Fuxiang knows that Zhang Hanqing has really made a lot of efforts for this. After all, money is flowing like water in Lanzhou. However, Zhang Hanqing's industrial layout ability was beyond his reach.
In education and industry, as long as you have money and people, you can basically do something. However, transportation is a long-standing problem that has plagued the northwest: except for the "Silk Road" that has been opened up for thousands of years and was built with stones, there is no decent road in the northwest. road. Shaanxi is relatively close to the mainland. Gansu and Ningxia have always existed as frontier fortresses. Only a certain section of dilapidated official roads built for military use were poured with asphalt, while Qinghai does not even have a decent stone road.
Even they themselves find it unjustifiable to develop industry under such conditions. Zhang Hanqing knew that the difficulties were nothing more than a lack of people, money, and materials. He put the difficulties aside and pointed out the solutions to them.
"Governor Ma Fuxiang's pace in running education is still a bit slow. There is a lot of waste waiting for development in the northwest, and high-level talents are especially needed. Therefore, training in this area must be intensive and we must be willing to spend money. Lanzhou Industrial School is too small and has too low standards. , I suggested that Governor Ma go to the big city to make plans and simply build a Lanzhou University. If there is a shortage of professors or other teaching materials in the early stage, I can dispatch them from Northeastern University.
Shaanxi has a good foundation. It turns out there is a good school called Shaanxi Law and Politics School, right? I heard that it was later changed to Northwest University, but a few years later it was changed to Shaanxi Legal and Political College? I think Northwestern University is better. Firstly, it doesn’t sound like there are any professional limitations like law and politics, and secondly, it is also regionally inclusive.
The Northeast and Northwest are both the pillars of the National Unification Council. If there is Northeastern University, it is natural to build another Northwest University. I inquired about it and found that it has four colleges: business, law, agriculture, and liberal arts. It is a relatively comprehensive school that is rare in the northwest region. The governor may need to worry more.
Governor Ma Tingxing also wants to start preparing for a Ningxia University to cultivate talents in all aspects for ethnic minority areas. We need to take a broader view and reserve seeds not only for the Hui people, but also for the Han people, Mongolian people, and Tibetans. We must also prepare seeds for the various ethnic minorities who will come to Xinjiang in the future and be familiar with Xinjiang's conditions.
As for industry, I have transferred some people who are proficient in this field from the Northeast and formed the "Northwest Economic Planning Committee" for the consultation of provincial governors. Each province still needs to make its own efforts in preparation.
Regarding the traffic situation, we must first open up the Yinchuan-Baotou-Guisui line, and develop both highways and railways.nbsp; Therefore, in order to stabilize the situation in the northwest as much as possible, it is necessary for him to let famous local ethnic minority leaders handle regional governance. Then, the People's Party began to stabilize its foothold in the northwest and worked hard to select and train local ethnic minority | party and government cadres, while downplaying the ethnic color.
Various measures have allowed some leading local figures who were watching Zhang Hanqing’s governance in the northwest to try to interact with the People’s Party. This is also the first step to promote ethnic exchanges, although it is a small step.
But his efforts are only a small step in the history of religious evolution. There is still a long way to go to break the religious knot of non-intermarriage in the Han Dynasty. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 478 The business city is in emergency
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
While the Northwest People's Army was recuperating, the huge neighboring country from the north once again became willing to form an alliance with the Chinese regime because of its huge defeat.
This was a life-and-death battle for the Soviet army under the walls of Warsaw, the capital of Poland. It was called by the British Ambassador to Berlin, Lord DeAibelen, "In modern civilization, there is no more important event than the Battle of Warsaw in 1920." The Soviet army went on a roller coaster ride from defeat to victory to defeat.
Due to various reasons, the Soviet commander Tukhachevski, known as the "Red Napoleon", was miraculously pulled back by Pi?sudski, the founding father of Poland, when his troops were approaching Warsaw. At that time, Western political commentators Said this about Pi?sudski: "He held the first domino that fell."
This is real. With the increasing consolidation of Soviet power in Russia and the overwhelming offensive of the Red Army, the whole of Europe is like a pile of firewood: German workers have organized and are preparing to launch an uprising like the Russian workers; the British Labor Party announced that British workers will never join Poland as an ally war; French people protested against their government's support for Poland's war; transport workers in Austria, Czechoslovakia and Germany refused to transport arms to Poland
Once the Polish army loses, the whole of Europe will immediately burn. As Churchill said: "Behind the retreating Polish front, the germ cells and organizations of Communism emerged from hiding in every town, ready to welcome the birth of the new Soviet Republic."
However, all this came to nothing with the final defeat of the Red Army.
The impact on China is that with the signing of the peace agreement between the Soviet Union and Poland, the Soviet war in Europe has basically ended, giving it the opportunity to shift to peace construction. In addition, the Soviet army can also calmly deploy troops to the Far East, and there will be a fierce battle with the Japanese army in the future, which is good for China.
There are also financial benefits. Because years of war had worsened the economy, Lenin, based on reality, gave up the idea of ??the Soviets using wartime communism policies to directly transition to socialism, and believed that a new economic policy must be implemented. This policy is actually in line with the land reform measures taken by Zhang Hanqing when he developed Northeast China. It is not known that Zhang Hanqing's intellectual property rights were plagiarized. Of course, there is no such thing as intellectual property rights in this era.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even though the Soviet Union was defeated, it was still stronger than China. Especially in terms of heavy industry, it is still an insurmountable height for China, but it is still unsatisfactory in light industry and agriculture, especially grain and cotton production. This is also the shortcoming of Soviet Russia throughout its life, Zhang Hanqing clearly knows.
This is the only project that China can currently complement with. In fact, transactions have been carried out in Northeast China for a long time. However, due to the presence of the Japanese, such transactions are sporadic and intermittent. If the Soviet-Russian army eventually and inevitably drives the Japanese soldiers out of the Far East, the scale of trade between the two sides can indeed be achieved in the Northeast.
It’s just that in the northwest, relatively speaking, it’s not as convenient as the northeast. At least there is a convenient railway transportation system there. In the northwest, apart from simple mountain roads, there are no cultivated mountain roads. Such transportation conditions made it difficult for Zhang Hanqing to rely on Lanzhou and Xi'an to build his northwest empire.
But Zhang Hanqing believes that no matter how difficult it is, it is still worth doing. In terms of geographical location, this place can be regarded as "uncontested". Although it is poor, the people are simple and there is no shortage of labor. It is a blank piece of paper for painting. Moreover, with the rise of Soviet Russia, the northwest can more easily develop by relying on this behemoth. Historically, Soviet Russia has provided considerable support to the Chinese revolution, although it has its own purposes.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing decided to complete the most difficult "Hexi Corridor" railway line as soon as possible under the existing conditions, so that it can reach Xinjiang in the west and Longhai Line in the east at the appropriate time. It will be done sooner or later anyway. After breaking through the transportation bottlenecks that plagued the economic development of the northwest, we expanded trade with Soviet Russia through Xinjiang in the west and Kulun in the east and strived for support.
The ideal is not unfulfilling, but the reality is very skinny.
When he was ambitious and wanted to carry out a big move in the northwest, the situation in Mongolia changed again.
At the end of August, according to the order of Semyonov, the leader of the Cossacks and the commander of the White Army in Siberia, Baron Wen Ganlun led the Asian Cavalry Division from Uria into northern Mongolia. They violently attacked the city of Merchants, preparing to cut off the Circum-Baikal Railway and cut off the Far East from the Russian Federation.
Needless to say, this is the Japanese idea again. Because of the establishment of the Far East Republic, it was no longer convenient for the Japanese to use their military to maintain their presence here, so they resorted to their usual methods: provoking civil strife and then drawing chestnuts from the fire. This Semyonov hasn't shown up for a long time, but he is extraordinary when he makes a move.
The Asian Cavalry Division is a force withA huge team of 10,000 cavalry and more than 200 infantry is definitely a powerful force compared to Mongolia's vast area, sparse population, and few garrison troops. Taking into account that it also has the powerful firepower of 21 artillery pieces and 37 machine guns, and is a grassland mobile operation that the Cossacks are familiar with, the 26th Cavalry Division guarding Mongolia has blocked the possibility of its attack on Kulun and is sending part of its troops to support the trading city. However, because the number of People's Army defenders in the city is very small, the White Army will cross the city and enter the Russian border within a short period of time, thus threatening the survival of its main artery in the Far East.
The Soviet Russian government, which shared the same hatred of the enemy, expressed goodwill to the Zhang Zuolin government: They planned to be led by Shaolin, Assistant Commander-in-Chief of the People's Revolutionary Army of the Far Eastern Republic, with the 5th Group Army of the Revolutionary Army of the Far Eastern People's Army as the commander, as the main force. In conjunction with the 26th Cavalry Division of the People's Army, a front and rear pincer attack was launched to establish victory in one fell swoop.
From the strength comparison, it looks good: the Far East Republic has a total of 21,800 infantry, 9,800 cavalry, 13 artillery pieces, especially 30 aircraft, plus the support of the People's Army, it is not weaker than the White Army in terms of numbers and firepower. Considering that Wen Ganlun's cavalry was not easy to supply logistically, the main army, which was waiting for work, had the convenience of home ground.
But Zhang Hanqing disagreed, for no other reason than that Borodin, the Soviet government's special envoy, mentioned the possibility that in order to completely annihilate this White Bandit Army, the Far East People's Revolutionary Army would most likely conduct cross-border joint operations to This prevents them from escaping back to their home base via Manchuria.
"Mr. Marshal, in view of Mongolia's important role in our country's national security, we hope with great sincerity that you can accept our request for reinforcements to eliminate this bandit army as soon as possible and stabilize the situation in Siberia."
Borodin’s “proposal” hit Zhang Hanqing’s sensitive nerves.
After finally driving the Soviet Russian forces out of Mongolia, they want to seize the opportunity to get involved. It should be noted that it is easier to ask the gods than to give them away. There is already a Japanese "master" in the Chinese territory, and it cannot add another one. Back then, even though Mao Zedong was short-tongued, he could justly refuse the temptation to "share" a long-wave radio station with this ally. How could he turn the tables in such a good situation? Moreover, it is said that it is a "union", but in fact it is preparing to drive the White Army into China and Mongolia, which will harm ourselves.
"Mr. Borodin, please don't worry. Our power in Mongolia can completely change the current situation. Maintaining the security of Siberia and Mongolia has always been the established decision-making of our autonomous government. This is where we have economic and cultural exchanges with you. How could we sit back and ignore this important node of exchanges and exchanges between the two countries?"
Under his guidance, the current situation in the north has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the official history. The 10 divisions of the Fengjun Army and the 6 divisions of the People's Army are enough to ensure border security, if a large-scale inter-state war does not break out. At present, as long as the People's Army does not cause trouble, Wu Peifu's direct army will not easily find trouble. The other warlords are not nearby, and the People's Army has enough power to quell the border chaos.
The 1st Division of the People's Army and the 4th Cavalry Division temporarily deployed a unit to enter Mongolia again. Wu Junsheng, the governor of Heilongjiang Province, also sent his chief of staff Dong Yunsheng to personally lead the first part of the 4th Division of the Fengjun Army to deploy defenses along the border of Mongolia and Heilongjiang Province. The 26th Cavalry Division, which is mainly composed of turned herdsmen, can completely suppress the power of the White Army.
Now Zhang Hanqing has been completely trained in his military career and is quite skilled in the training and use of senior commanders. With Jian Yiqiao, who was familiar with Mongolian geography, as the commander-in-chief, he coordinated various forces to encircle and suppress the White Bandit Army.
Ji Yiqiao has been the Mongolian security commander for a long time. He established the 26th Cavalry Division by himself. In addition to participating in almost all Mongolian wars, he quickly formulated a set of combat policies.
He ordered the Tang Ju Armed Cavalry Brigade stationed in Tangnu Ulianghai to advance along the left bank of the Segeleng River towards the Trading City to share the pressure on the Trading City. At the same time, he urgently dispatched a small group of light cavalry troops to support this small but extremely important border town. town, and at the same time sent electricity to the defenders of Buying and Selling City, asking them to hold on for three days.
Three days! Li Du was in trouble.
He is the supreme commander of Buying City, the garrison envoy of Northern Meng and the commander of the independent garrison battalion. He has 800 infantrymen, 9 machine guns, and three artillery cannons under his command. In addition, there is also a patrol cavalry company of 100 people and a mortar company under his organization. Even so, with such a team among the tens of thousands of Asian cavalry divisions, they are like grains of sand entering the sea, not even a single bubble will escape.
But he is clear about the importance and military significance of the trading city: it is the northern gate of Mongolia Province in China, and it is responsible for the important task of "drawing a clear line" with Soviet Russia. Before marching into Gansu, the young marshal still left some elite troops behind when the strength was not yet dominant, and he gave detailed instructions.
"It is of great significance to defend the northern border!"
Therefore, even when the battle with the Ma Jiajun in the northwest was the fiercest, Tang Juwu was still able to defend Tangnu Ulianghai with a cavalry regiment without being transferred, which accounted for a quarter of the Mongolian garrison at that time; although Li Du The reinforced infantry battalion has only 800 people, but it has gathered almost all the infantry in Mongolia under its command. During the year when Zhang Hanqing was campaigning in the northwest, the Mongolian security forces headed by Ji Yiqiao were not idle in the defense work of Maimai City. This was Li Du's hope.
"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win" is the tradition of the People's Army. The young commander has given strict orders, and abandoning the position will inevitably lead to death. Since there is no way out, let's give it a try and see if we can save our lives!

Li Du was determined to fight to the death.
He is a famous general in suppressing bandits. When Zhang Hanqing defeated Babu Zabu, he was the leader of the 114th Regiment under Wu Junsheng. In Zhang Hanqing's famous battle to annihilate the Pakistani bandits, he really helped as an ally.
After the death of the Ba bandits, the remaining bandits continued to harass them. Li Du witnessed the coming and going of bandits and the suffering of the people, so he personally wrote a plan to suppress the bandits and submitted it to the authorities, asking him to ride directly into the bandit's lair alone and persuade them to surrender, so as to avoid conquests by both sides and the death of the people. His colleagues in the army were afraid that he would be harmed and tried to dissuade him in every possible way. Li Du said: "If we can calm down the border situation, what's the use of our body?" He resolutely rode alone into the bandit's lair, with a righteous mind and a calm attitude. He negotiated with the bandit leader for more than 20 days amidst mountains of swords and swords. Finally, he persuaded the bandit leader to surrender, and handed over the weapons and ammunition funded by the Japanese, the portrait of Emperor Xun of the Qing Dynasty, and the dragon. flags etc.
Li Du’s great wisdom and bravery were highly praised by officers and soldiers with a sense of justice. Zhang Zuolin also included him in the list of rewards for those who made great achievements in suppressing bandits. However, after Wu Junsheng was brought up as a scapegoat by all parties, he was angry at Zhang Hanqing's "shuzi's fame" and brought disaster to himself but did not dare to take action, so he brought out Li Du, who "loved the young marshal", for questioning.
Of course, Old Wu was also a little jealous. After all, at that time, he was just a brigade commander and a garrison envoy. Li Du has great achievements and fame, which is detrimental to his "growth". He is also not a close confidant, so he is naturally rejected by everyone.
Talented people will not let their superiors give in, so Li Du submitted his resignation in the autumn of 1917 and left. However, Zhang Zuolin still appreciated him and personally asked him to serve as the captain of the Fourth Transport Team of the Fengjun General Headquarters. Zhang Hanqing entered Mongolia. As the backbone of logistics, he paved the way for the victory of the "An-Mongolian Army" and made a lot of contributions.
After the pacification of Mongolia, the guards of the two strategic places Tangnu Ulianghai and Maimaicheng were selected. Li Du won Zhang Hanqing's favor with his honesty and prudent attitude. In addition, he had certain experience in civilian governance, so the guards of Maimaicheng and northern Mongolia were selected. Just leave it to him.
Although there is only a team of more than a thousand people, the military rank is major general - which is already enough in terms of qualifications, and he also holds the position of garrison envoy of northern Mongolia. When he first took office, he followed Zhang Hanqing's proposal to build the trading city into a major trading town in northern Xinjiang and at the same time turned it into a major military town, so he put a lot of effort into holding on to it.
The shopping city has a pure Chinese style. There are two main streets in the city, with crosses running through them. The streets extend in straight lines and courtyards are distributed on both sides. By the end of the 1760s, more than 200 houses and two temples had been built here.
Considering that the trading city was built with wood and had four gates around it, such a city wall was basically a model for guarding against gentlemen but not villains. Li Du arranged to build a Great Wall paved with large stones beside the outer wall. Although it could not stop the infantry from jumping over, But it is enough to form a good hindrance to enemy cavalry attacks. The earthen walls were supported by stone piles, which gave the defenders some psychological comfort.
In addition, it is a rectangular city, only 640 meters long and 366 meters wide. For the People's Army with a smaller number, it is more advantageous in terms of defense. At least the unit firepower is sufficient.
??And the north gate is opposite the south gate of Kyaktu, and the distance is only 130 meters. Taking into account the common interests of China and the Soviet Union in suppressing bandits, this direction did not require special attention, which made Li Du feel slightly better about arranging troops. Therefore, as soon as the battle order was issued, Li Du deployed two companies in front of the south gate, together with four machine guns, and began to set up fortifications, preparing a desperate defense posture.
But what made him a little heavy was the crowd of people fleeing outside the city. Because the incident happened suddenly, and when they heard that the White Russian bandits were coming, everyone naturally thought of a trading city that could act as a barrier. In the past few dozen miles, Mongolian people and Han merchants have spontaneously rushed here, numbering seven to eight thousand people. So many. Considering the small area of ????Business City, it is really unbearable to have so many people pouring in all at once.
Based on the area of ??the small city, it is equivalent to one person per fifteen square meters. This density should be the highest among cities not only at the time but also in later generations. Of course, the world-famous Mumbai slums are not counted.
The White Army has artillery in its hands. If it is unleashed here, the casualties will be considerable. However, with such a small number of people, there is still a slight chance to defend the city, and this stronghold cannot be given up.
Li Du thought about it, and he remembered that the young marshal once told them how trenches were used to fight positional warfare in the European War. With the three-foot trench dug into the ground, the warring countries suddenly turned the maneuver warfare into a war of positional attrition, which lasted until the end of the battle. Although the attackers deployed new weapons such as aircraft and tanks, they rarely made any qualitative breakthroughs. Therefore, after the war, the defensive model of strong fortresses coupled with intensive firepower began to occupy a place in the world's military system. France, a powerful army, even later developed the "Maginot Line".
Because there were so many participating countries in the war, only the Germans could produce better quality optical equipment, and other countriesMost of them also use mechanical aiming. Shelling was not good against trenches. The purpose of trenches was to avoid enemy shelling, so the shrapnel from shelling was meaningless to the people hiding in the trenches, and the accuracy of artillery at that time was also very limited.
Digging trenches is beneficial and cost-effective. It can also limit the role of cavalry to the maximum extent and can delay the movement of artillery. Its function is similar to that of ancient moats. Li Du decided to mobilize manpower and build as many such "moats" as possible inside and outside the city.
" Nowadays, having more people is a blessing among misfortunes. In line with the principle of resting people and not resting things, hundreds of engineering shovels have played a great role under the uninterrupted work of hundreds of people at the same time. Within a few days, several shallow trenches one kilometer long and two to three meters wide were opened on the front five miles outside the south gate, and then they were widened and deepened when the opportunity arose.
And people without tools were not idle either. Under the organization of the Buying and Selling City County Committee and County Government, they made do with simple things, using stones, bricks and soil wrapped in sacks or waste felt, and built strongholds on the trenches.
In these precious few days, this line of defense was quietly formed, but it was still not deep enough and not wide enough for a flying horse to leap. However, the advantage is that there are many gaps. Between several ravines, it is not easy for the cavalry artillerymen carrying artillery to jump over. The threat to the trading city from the Asian Cavalry Division without artillery will be significantly weakened. After the vanguard of the bandits arrived at the front line of the position, the "migrant workers" quickly withdrew into the city and began to set up defenses along the streets.
But the purpose at this time is only to reduce the damage of enemy shelling. When the building cannot withstand the sharp shells, at least the common people still have a place to hide. The "migrant workers" who understood this relationship became more enthusiastic about digging in the city. During the battle at the front, they worked overtime and dug ditches all over the small trading city, even their normal Walking is a problem, just because the trading city is too small and cannot accommodate such a large population otherwise.
This kind of unselfish behavior also unexpectedly severely hindered the movement of the bandits. This was reflected in a series of subsequent battles. It was an unexpected surprise.
However, on the front line, Li Du couldn't be happy at all. As the head of the front-line guards, Li Du also understood the strategic vision of the People's Army Headquarters, which is why he was so worried.
“It’s not all about my own safety, but knowing the family background of the People’s Army.
“Mongolia plus Tangnu Ulianghai covers an area of ??more than 1.7 million square kilometers, which is larger than Xinjiang and the size of Jiangsu. However, there is only one 26th Cavalry Division guarding it.
Don’t think that one division is too much, and don’t compare it with the Beiyang Army Division of the Republic of China. Different from them, the cavalry division had a special organization at that time, and its number was much smaller than that of the infantry.
According to the "Allied Forces Chronicle", in the Jiangnan area, because there is little room for cavalry to move, each infantry division is used to send orders and search, and one company is enough to cope with it. However, in Manchuria, Mongolia and Xinjiang, due to inconvenient transportation and vast territory, Since the number of people is sparse, the number of cavalry should be large and large, and a cavalry division should be established. The cavalry divisions in the Northeast were set up based on this principle.
??According to the upper limit, the cavalry division of the Fengcheng Department is under the jurisdiction of 2 brigades, 4 regiments and 1 cavalry artillery company. The regiment does not have a battalion and directly manages 4 cavalry companies, and 1 machine gun and mortar company each. Each cavalry regiment takes the upper limit of 4 companies, so that each division has 16 cavalry companies. Because the cavalry company has a four-four system, the standard company has 204 people, and a regiment plus the regiment headquarters has 1,062 people. A full division is worth more than 4,000 points. With this number of troops, spread equally across the country, one company would be assigned to every 100,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to having only one cavalry company in Jiangsu in the mainland to maintain public order
Therefore, after Zhang Hanqing entered Mongolia, he reorganized the cavalry division in his own way. Considering that the cavalry force is also an independent offensive force in the north, its number cannot be too small. Therefore, the People's Army's cavalry division is the first to have one division and three brigades, which is one-third more strength than the old system. This was also the precursor to the subsequent reform of the people's military system.
Despite this, when part of the division was assigned to garrison in Kobdo and Ulyasutai, the only troops that could be placed in Cullen were a cavalry brigade and several infantry and artillery units, and the number of troops that could support the trading city was limited. Unless the cavalry from Tangnu Ulianghai can arrive as soon as possible and the northwest army reinforcements can enter Kulun as soon as possible, his army will have to face the fact of fighting alone.
Having said that, there is still a large area to be guarded in the Tangnu area, and the only ones who can be dispatched for rescue are probably only a thousand-man cavalry regiment, right? Calling it a rescue, I'm afraid it's just a morale booster at best. As for the reinforcements of the 1st and 4th Divisions, they are not of immediate help, and there is no hope.
After thinking about this, Li Du focused on perseverance. While the fortifications were basically in place, he placed the only three artillery pieces along the back of the trench, preparing to give the bandits a heavy blow at this artificial "horse-rejection" point. Although the number of cannons is small, fortunately the location is convenient and the cannon shells are sufficient, so there is no need to worry about logistics. This is the benefit of defense.
Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Since the location is convenient and the artillery shells are sufficient, there is no need to worry about logistics. This is the advantage of defense.

Baron Wen Ganlun had originally made up his mind to settle down in the Trading City.
Originally a small inn, this small town that was depressed due to the Russian Civil War - not even a town - was attracted by the Sino-Soviet trade policy and became a place for cross-border trade between northern China and Soviet Russia. A great place for international trade. The Soviet Russia in the Far East was in chaos. The part of Soviet Russia that relied on Xinjiang was subject to transportation restrictions and was unable to carry out even slightly larger-scale economic activities. On the contrary, it highlighted the role of the trading city.
When conducting long-range operations away from its home base of Dauria, although the Asian Cavalry Division has good maneuverability and powerful firepower, it has a fatal weakness, which is that it requires strong logistical support. If you can't stay in the Buying City, you must stop in Kyaktu, which is just across the corner, otherwise the cold alone can kill you. The white disaster (heavy snow) in Mongolia has always been one of the natural enemies of herdsmen, and the same is true for cavalry.
In the age of cold weapons, such an army was a huge threat to any hostile force around the grasslands. By relying on war to support war, the Mongolian Empire conquered almost every corner that horses could reach, making it invincible in the world.
But in the era of hot weapons, due to the extensive application of artillery and machine guns, infantry posed an increasing threat to cavalry. Especially an army with abundant resources will be a nightmare for the cavalry if it resists danger and defends. This was how the entire Babu Zabu bandit army was wiped out. As a professional soldier who was deeply immersed in cavalry tactics, he would not ignore this change.
But Wen Ganlun confidently believed that he could defeat this small town in one fell swoop with the advantage of many people. Before setting off, he had conducted a thorough reconnaissance here. He knew the number of defenders here and the strength of the surrounding garrisons. Although the town is small, it stores a lot of important grain and fodder. In addition, because it is the intersection of the Orkhon River and the Segeleng River, the city has enough water resources for people to live.
The only large-scale use of troops in Fengjun's growth was to hide behind the Zhili clique to take advantage of the Anhui clique. Although the number was large, the battle process was simple. In addition, the Anhui army retreated too quickly, and it could not reflect its combat effectiveness at all. It was an unspeakable battle. A civil war that attracted the attention of the great powers. In Semyonov's words: "Infighting among inferior ethnic groups is not worthy of attention."
When Zhang Hanqing led his army into Hulunbuir and the "Anmeng Army" entered Mongolia, it was when the Red and White Russian armies were fighting fiercely, so Wen Ganlun was not familiar with this people's army that entered Mongolia.
He is still stuck in the impression given by his ancestors: China is a weak, incompetent, and decadent country. The people living on this land are a group of short-sighted, ignorant and backward ethnic groups who are scattered and scattered. They are at the mercy of others. The best choice for replenishing energy. Therefore, although he also knew that the People's Army's control over Mongolia and the Sino-Russian border was no longer what it used to be, he still readily carried out the military order at Semyonov's request.
He believed that using the Merchant City as a base to conduct a sector-wide scan of the territory of Soviet Russia, and allowing both advance and retreat, it was indeed an important location for military strategists. As for China, "They will definitely be frightened by the prestige of our army and concentrate their forces in Kulun to prevent us from going south. Haha, if our army had not been tasked with cutting off the Soviet Union's Siberian Railway, I would really want to go to Kulun. After all, the resistance encountered there will be significantly weaker than that of the Red Army on the opposite side."
This is what he said to encourage his subordinates, and of course he also thought so.
"But when the army came ten miles away from the city, he felt very strange. Different from the usual mess wherever the White Bandit Army goes, with people running in all directions, the air here is quiet, and there is no chaos at all due to the arrival of the army.
"If it weren't for the forward's report that the road ahead had been artificially cut into a wide ridge, he would really have thought that the Mongolian people and the garrison had fled after hearing the news. At this time, he didn't take it seriously. You must know that Mongolia's vast north, west, and central directions are all mountainous. It is unrealistic to engage in tunnel warfare like the historical Jizhong Plain.
He personally went to the front of the team to inspect the terrain and saw that although the width was more than three meters, it was less than a foot - it was a mountainous area after all. It was understandable that the soldiers and civilians of the Buying City could not form a true "rejection horse" for a short while. Can be forgiven. This kind of obstruction can't even delay the running cavalry. If it weren't for the fear of meaningless injuries to the horse, the horse could jump over it directly. It's just that the random placement of rocks on both sides of the trench will make it inconvenient for the baggage and artillery to walk - it's just an inconvenience.
The outline of the trading city has been vaguely visible. It was already afternoon, and Wen Ganlun decided to take over the small town and move the headquarters into the city. He ordered his right-hand man and close confidant Liezu Xin: "Lead a regiment and quickly capture the trading city. I will be your rear wing."
Lie Zuxin accepted the order. He is the most capable general among Wen Ganlun's men. He is very influential in the Belarusian army. He holds the Asian Cavalry Division in his hands.??The elite "Prairie Eagle" Cavalry Regiment. The entire Far Eastern Republic army has a deep fear of him and regards him as a powerful enemy.
Wen Ganlun was waiting for good news, but obviously this time he did not continue his previous glory, because Lie Zuxin discovered another large trench. Although the report said that its width was roughly similar to the previous one, it was obvious that there were several similar trenches not far from this trench, and it was faintly found that there were people inside.
The reason why Lie Zuxin is famous is not because of his arrogance, but because of his extraordinary resourcefulness. He would not make an easy decision on a battlefield where he could not figure out the details. This was one of the reasons why he became famous in the Far East.
He sent a small group of cavalry to reconnoiter, but they were greeted by gunfire like fried beans.
The Asian Cavalry Divisions are all brave and good at fighting. Although they are not as responsive as the "Prairie Eagle" regiment, when they hear the gunshot, these people instinctively take aim and turn their horses back. Even in the age of hot weapons, the White Russian soldiers who grew up in Siberia were still able to show superb riding skills, and their reactions were as agile as their riding skills.
Gao Fuyuan shook his head dejectedly. Originally, he was counting on being able to carry out a powerful attack on the White Army here, but the cunning Asian Cavalry Division did not give him a chance. The first trench was to delay the enemy's cavalry, and the second trench was the front line of battle between the two sides. He had ambushed a company here in advance, together with two machine guns, and was prepared to wait until the White Army was approaching before giving them a fatal blow. Because of the enemy's tentative reconnaissance, the battle situation suddenly changed from a sneak attack to a serious battle.
In line with the principle of killing one person and one less person, the ambush soldiers still knocked down several cavalrymen and horses through burst shooting. In order to hide their strength, heavy weapons such as machine guns were not used, and even a squad in front of them was engaged.
But Lie Zuxin still got an important piece of information: behind the seemingly shallow trench, there was a tunnel about 100 meters wide and obstacles piled up with rocks. The cavalry could not gallop in the plain-like natural pastures of Eastern Mongolia. , a charge with a large number of people is not suitable here.
This is also where Li Du’s tactics lie. If the Asian Cavalry Division cannot give full play to its rapid attack capabilities and dismounts to engage in positional warfare with the People's Army, then through these obstacles, it is completely possible to trade space for time step by step, although there is not much room for maneuver in this space.
According to the People's Army tactical regulations, the defense range of a standard infantry company is between 1,500 meters and 3 kilometers. Gao Fuyuan's company is the first front line, which is just over 1,000 meters wide, so as long as the enemy cannot move quickly, he is still very confident in holding this line of defense. In order to reduce the pressure on frontal defense, Gao Fuyuan has a direct hotline to the artillery unit, and he can receive support from three 75mm mountain guns with a range of four kilometers at any time. In addition, he has a trump card.
Lie Zuxin was surprised. He knew that relying on strong defense has always been the only way to restrain cavalry troops. Especially in the era of hot weapons, under the intensive firepower of the defender, using cavalry to storm a restrained position is basically a risk to death. No different. In addition, it seems that the garrison of the Buying and Selling City has been prepared for a long time, which is very different from their previous estimates.
No need to be surprised. After pacifying the northwest and beyond the Great Wall, the Central Investigation Department of the People's Party rushed into various places and continuously collected and analyzed news about Montenegro, Soviet Russia and the Japanese Expeditionary Force, which Zhang Hanqing was particularly concerned about, in order to study and judge. its movements. As soon as Japan made a plan to attack the main artery of the Soviet-Russian Siberian Railway via Mongolia, Zhang Hanqing detected it and bought a certain amount of time for Li Du and others.
Coupled with the vastness of the Mongolian grassland and the inconvenience of communication, the Asian Cavalry Division seems to be surprisingly difficult, but in the end it cannot outrun the radio waves. A few days are enough for the People's Army to make preparations.
When Lie Zuxin did not dare to act rashly, Wen Ganlun sent an order: "The cavalry dismounted, broke through the defense line as soon as possible, and approached the trading city. The Chinese were cunning and deliberately created this suspicious formation to slow down our army." Although he did not agree with the people. The army has directly fought against each other, but it is undeniable that it is a powerful force. Cullen's reinforcements would arrive day and night, and he didn't want to get entangled here.
Lie Zuxin took the order and asked the cavalry to dismount and cross the trench.
Seeing the Russian army bending down and carefully moving forward with carbines in hand, Gao Fuyuan was very happy. The guarding envoy really had a plan.
Before the war, when Li Du convened a combat meeting, he pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of the People's Army and the White Russian Army. The disadvantage of the People's Army is that it has a small number of people, but its advantage is that it can defend the city; although the Asian Cavalry Division has a large number of people, as long as they do not confront it head-on, they cannot take advantage of their maneuverability, or even force them to engage in positional combat with their own side. Just a win.
Because the Russian cavalry at that time, both the Red and White Army, still inherited the military industry of the Tsarist Russia era. The main configuration of its cavalry is the carbine called "dragoon rifle".
This carbine is actually a variant of an ordinary rifle. Compared with the m1891 infantry rifle commonly used by the Russian army, its length is shortened by 76 mm and its weight is reduced by 0.4 kg. Although it is easy to carry and aims quickly and its power at close range is not lower than that of a rifle of the same caliber. , but it also has the disadvantages of low muzzle velocity, short range, short aiming axis, and poor long-range accuracy.
The equipment of the People's Army is already the standard "Han" style rifle. In addition to the long barrel, it has all the advantages that the carbine does not have. In mid- to long-distance confrontations, they can use their advantage to kill running infantry. After all, their speed is much different from that of war horses.

Chapter 481 Collision

The battle was fought without any twists and turns. Gao Fuyuan even doubted whether they were the legendary Asian cavalry division.
There is no basic requirement for an infantry attack. They are all running forward in a swarm. There is no such thing as a formation. Since winter was approaching and I was wearing bulky clothes, I couldn't run at all, which made my speed slow down a lot. In addition, they are naturally good riders, but not good at running. In this position full of trenches and rocks, they are basically facing death.
Don’t blame them, they are cavalry.
The Cossack cavalry, accustomed to tactics such as large depth and roundabout encirclement, did not give in to the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty even when they were in the best condition. This was one of the reasons why they were invincible in Siberia.
Even in modern times, because Russia’s opponents in Central Asia and the Far East are all weak, this has affected their continued development of tactical capabilities to a certain extent. Moreover, on specific terrains such as the Mongolian Plateau and the Siberian Plateau, it is difficult to organize an effective defense in a hurry. Therefore, without the support of heavy firepower, the cavalry is a fatal threat to any infantry charge. According to official history, it is not unreasonable for cavalry units to remain in the northwest until the 1960s.
This is one of the reasons why the Asian Cavalry Division has a cavalry team of tens of thousands of people, but only two hundred infantry.
"However, they are destined to be defeated today.
Three hundred meters away from the shallow trench, the People's Army infantry calmly picked up their guns and practiced target shooting seriously in accordance with the training requirements. But the target is not a wooden board, but a living person. At this distance, the White Army's carbine was ineffective.
When a large group of people approached, the sound of frying beans rang out. Each squad of the People's Army in the middle only used one squad machine gun, and it killed a large number of White bandit troops in an instant. In a dense crowd, even the poorest shooter can always gain a lot with his eyes closed.
The human body cannot compete with steel. Seeing their companions fall one by one, the White Bandit Army became timid with no hope of progress. This was basically going to die! Although they are brave, they are not stupid. As they got closer and closer to the front line, the bullets on the opposite side became denser and denser. Many people wisely chose to lie on the ground. Following suit, this attack ended in such a strange way.
Lie Zuxin was very angry, and the consequences were serious. He is an orthodox Cossack with Cossack pride in his bones. He cannot tolerate the soldiers being so greedy for life and fear of death. In this round of attack, he has seen that although the people's army on the opposite side is well-trained - how can it be unskilled? The living or dead soldiers lying on the ground are all proof - but there seems to be one very comforting thing, and that is the sparse sound of rifles.
This shows that the number of enemies is not large, which is consistent with their previous reconnaissance. The number of troops garrisoned in Buying City is roughly transparent. Since it needs to be defended in several directions, there will not be too many troops that can be deployed on a single position. He judged, at most one company. Even if they are all sharpshooters, as long as their cavalry comes within the range of their carbines, the situation will change drastically.
So he called the commander of the cavalry regiment: "Organize several death squads and charge hard from several directions! There are so many of us, even if we bear bullets, we will make these yellow-skinned monkeys weak. For the glory of the Cossacks, charge! "
? Needless to say, the warlike blood of the Cossacks naturally flows in every warrior. Following the order, the denser crowd began to push forward desperately, and the cavalrymen who were lying on the ground became active again under the slogans of their companions.
"Ula"! This was the clarion call to attack, and countless white bandits finally showed their strength. After understanding that their request was really to win the position desperately, the powerful White Army resolutely got up from the ground and bravely advanced amidst the hail of bullets.
Gao Fuyuan Company, which successfully withstood the first round of attacks, was pleased to find after a short inventory of ammunition and casualties that their casualties were very small, and because they were well prepared, the number of bullets could fully withstand a more intense battle. Therefore, I am full of confidence in this round of defense.
But Gao Fuyuan's heart was very solemn. He knew the reason. It was because the enemy's carbine range was too close. Before he could get close to his own side, he could only be beaten. But if the opponent does not hesitate to pay the price and presses forward across the board like this time, it is only a matter of time before they can break through the defense line. The number of casualties at that time will definitely not be as optimistic as it is now.
?That is exactly the case.
In sparse battles, the people's officers and soldiers can face the enemy's charge with a good attitude. But when the dark crowd of people pressed forward like ants without fear of death, the pressure was frightening and made people's scalp numb. It was completely different from when they attacked the Mongolian army.ah.
Can it be compared? The Mongolian army is a group of troops with backward tactics, backward weapons, extremely poor training, and low morale. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as a mob. The current opponent is the Cossack cavalry that has been roaming the Siberian Plateau for hundreds of years. Its courage, fighting spirit and level of training are not comparable to the Mongolian army. The title of "fighting nation" is by no means a lie or flattery.
In this way, killing a few out of one seems to be endless.
In the gap between aiming at one person and shooting, the others took a few big steps forward. Even a sharpshooter can't shoot two with one shot! It's impossible to defeat so many people. Soon, the faces of the enemy could be seen clearly, and the carbine in their hands also fired.
The People's Army began to suffer casualties, which was very detrimental to their defense.
Because the front line is long and there are not enough people, the average defense width per person is basically nearly 30 meters. When one of them suffered casualties, neighboring comrades had to take over their defense area, making the already stretched situation even more dangerous. In some places, there was even a 100-meter no-man's land.
Gao Fuyuan, who was watching the formation, quickly dispatched his reserve team, but in the positions that were spread all over the place, this small amount of troops was of no help at all.
Zulekhin simply ignored his subordinates who were already lying all over the position. The Russians regarded death as if they were dead and did not care about the number of casualties. This was their tradition. As a commander, he was only responsible for attacking the city and appropriating land. Looking at the People's Army positions just around the corner, he grinned proudly. As long as the White Russian soldiers were close, the weak People's Army was no match for the tall Cossack cavalry.
Suddenly, he noticed a series of white smoke rising from behind the People's Army position, and then many flaming flying objects appeared in the sky and fell on his charging soldiers. Following the loud noises, a strange picture appeared in his eyes. Countless White Russian soldiers were overturned by the air waves or killed. Those who were not killed were also stunned by the loud noises, and then fell to the ground again.
The enemy used mortars! Judging from the density of the explosion, there was enough of a mortar company there!
Zulexin is no stranger to this thing. After all, he has experienced World War I, and it was in World War I that mortars shined. He was just surprised that the People's Army's firepower was so fierce. Is this still the country that heard that even rifles need to be imported?
It cannot be said that he has a deep prejudice against China. In fact, in the Republic of China in official history, even after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese army could not maintain self-sufficiency in the source of weapons, even light weapons. In the early days of the Republic of China, the total number of artillery pieces of the entire Beiyang Army did not exceed 500. As a result of frequent wars among warlords, the overall number of artillery pieces of each faction decreased instead of increasing.
This is China’s national conditions. Economic and industrial strength determine military strength. This is an iron law. Although he didn’t know much about it in detail, Zulexin got the impression that all Chinese artillery was imported.
However, because of Zhang Hanqing, the situation has changed dramatically. Through various means, from collecting and purchasing cannons to adding production lines, the Feng Faction has formed a relatively simple and complete military industry system, which is sufficient to meet the combat needs of ordinary infantry. Not only that, the Shenyang Arsenal has also carried out the development of a series of new weapons. Things like mortars are extremely simple for the people of the Shenyang Arsenal who have fully understood 75mm mountain guns and field guns.
Zhang Hanqing’s People’s Army is the army that receives the most mortars. Because there are more mountainous areas in the northwest and transportation is inconvenient, the demand for heavy artillery is not as strong as that of lighter mortars. As one of the leaders of the Feng Faction, Zhang Zuolin was very attentive to the equipment of the People's Army. In addition to the synchronized equipment of the three elite 27th, 28th, and 29th divisions, the rest of the newly produced mortars were supplied to the People's Army.
In fact, Zhang Hanqing also distributed these weapons in order. For the garrison in Shaanxi and Gansu, mortars have been assigned to the regiments, which are considered priority, because the opponent's strength is far stronger than the remaining Mongolian forces. Among the 26th Cavalry Division of the Mongolian garrison, only Kulun and Maocheng each have a mortar unit (company), and they are formed into separate armies.
He previously thought that these were enough, because as expected, the largest separatist force in Mongolia had been defeated, and the hostile forces that could exert direct pressure on the Mongolian garrison were no longer in existence. And because the relationship with Soviet Russia has eased, there will be no direct conflict between the People's Army and the Soviet Russian Army in recent years. Limited resources naturally have to be put in the most appropriate place.
What he never expected was that the White Army would actually have trouble with him.
Fortunately, because of the important location of the Merchant City, he still had the foresight to release this mortar company. Otherwise, Li Du would have struggled even more defensively.
Li Du was on the front line of the fight against the bandits this time, making careful preparations. In addition to the natural moat, he also arranged for the battalion's heavy machine gun companies to guard the two wings, and mortars blocked the front of the position to provide fire support to the defending infantry. In order to facilitate unified command on the front line, the command was handed over to Gao Fuyuan. At the critical moment, Gao Fuyuan finally issued an order. The nine mortars that had been established in advance were divided into three groups. Nearly fifty consecutive shells abruptly interrupted the White Army's fierce offensive momentum.

Zu Liexin was angry.
This is not a confrontation between warriors at all, but a pure use of superior firepower to deal with the flesh and blood drive! Looking at the Cossack cavalry struggling and wailing in the middle of the pool of blood, his heart was bleeding. He has already invested his main force and cannot launch a new offensive. Of course, there was another level of concern: it was obvious that the People's Army was well prepared. Before the enemy's situation was clear, he did not want to make the same mistake again, so he ordered the withdrawal.
"These shameless yellow monkeys are using such despicable methods! I will retaliate and destroy them with heavy artillery!"
He seems to have forgotten that war is originally a contest of strategies. The traditional Chinese understanding of military affairs is the best explanation of it. Also, when it comes to dealing with the aggressor, no matter what means the just party uses, it will not be too much.
The White Army withdrew, leaving behind a pile of chicken feathers. The People's Army did not take the opportunity to counterattack because they were unable to counterattack.
This battle was considered a great victory. The People's Army resisted an entire regiment with a hundred men, even though it was a makeshift infantry composed of cavalry. However, the price was not small. Nearly twenty people died in the trenches, and at least fifteen others were seriously injured. If it weren't for the unexpected attack by the mortar battery and the inability of the White Army to figure out the true situation, the front line would have collapsed.
Even so, it is enough to be proud, because at least 300 enemy people were killed. After reporting the results of the battle, Gao Fuyuan confidently asked Li Du to send reinforcements to supplement the missing personnel. He believed that another hundred or ten people could completely stop the enemy for at least one day.
However, Li Du's order surprised him: "Prepare to retreat as planned." These are Li Du's original words, concise and to the point.
Despite the victory, it is expected that the White Army will not be reconciled. After figuring out the trump card of the People's Army, the next round of attacks will inevitably be more intense and full of variables. Since the People's Army was far away from Buying and Selling City and the front was too long, if the White Bandit Army really pressed forward regardless of life and death, although it was possible to continue to inflict heavy losses on it, we could not avoid the possibility of the entire army being annihilated.
In a trading city with such a small number of people, every People's Army is useful, and it is unacceptable to exchange for ten White Bandit Army. After a small victory, withdrawing troops to the second line of defense can not only obtain supplies of ammunition, but also join forces with friendly forces, which is a great psychological comfort. In addition, because it is closer to the city, the defensive area is relatively smaller and can be taken care of more.
Another concern is that although the people's military dug a few "horse-rejection pits" first, due to the haste of the matter, after prioritizing the defense of the inner and outer cities and suburbs, the peripheral treatment could not be too careless. Because these "rejection pits" are shallow and narrow, they can easily be filled up by the opponent. At that time, the artillery carried by the White Army can carry out a round of fire attack on the People's Army positions. Similarly, in the hasty trenches, the people's officers and soldiers have extremely poor defense capabilities against artillery.
This was what Li Du had planned beforehand. He expected that with the White Army's numerical advantage, the first line of defense would not be stable and would face possible artillery fire. Therefore, after the great victory, the troops were withdrawn, leaving some tunnels for the White Army to block. This time is the time you can get to stand still and wait for help, that is, the real strategy of "exchanging space for time".
Gao Fuyuan strictly implemented military orders. However, he was not in a hurry to reveal his intention to withdraw, and all the officers and soldiers were carefully observing the movements of the White Army. Since we are delaying time, naturally the longer the better. According to his judgment, unless the enemy increases their troops on a large scale, judging from the number of corpses left by the enemy on the battlefield, they should be unable to launch another large-scale attack. Therefore, waiting and seeing so that the enemy cannot easily gain position is also part of the strategy. He simply sent some of the lightly and seriously wounded back to the rear, along with the mortar battery, so that he could retreat as lightly as possible and as quickly as possible.
Faced with the lack of movement in the People's Army positions, Lie Zuxin really did not dare to gamble on its defensive strength. Most of his regiment has been lost, and he is helpless against the mortars of the People's Army. His only option is to bring in artillery and beat them to the ground!
News of the failure of the frontline attack was quickly reported to Wen Ganlun, which gradually calmed down his enthusiasm for entering the Trading City for the night. Unexpectedly, the People's Army still hides this trump card. It seems that it cannot achieve its goal unless it is removed. Faced with Lie Zuxin's request, he nodded in agreement and said, "Bring us all our cannons and let them have a taste of the power of our cannons!"
The Asiatic Cavalry Division has 21 cannons.
If Li Du and the others saw this kind of cannon, they would definitely wipe the sweat from their foreheads and say, "Okay, this is also called a cannon." Although the 75mm gun of the People's Army is nothing in the West or even in the old Russian army, it is still very confident compared to this cavalry gun.
Traditional cavalry artillery is inherently incomparable with infantry artillery, because the former emphasizes rapid breakthroughs and the characteristics of the latterp; In order to prevent the sudden destruction of the People's Army, Zulexin was very vigilant and constantly sent out scouts to find out the opponent's movements. The newly transferred main force "Prairie Eagle" Cavalry Regiment was also on guard on both sides, and the only cavalry division Two hundred infantrymen took the lead and stood in front of the artillery to safely enter the position.
Victory is already close at hand. Once his artillery is in position, the power of 21 artillery pieces is definitely not comparable to that of a few mortars of the People's Army.
This is a well-trained army. Perhaps because of this, after experiencing the battle just now, the People's Army lost the courage to continue to fight. When they cautiously approached the front line and used their outstanding battle formation to make the People's Army invulnerable, the People's Army did not launch even a tentative offensive, as if they were indifferent to the increasingly approaching artillery fire.

Zulexin instinctively felt that it was a fraud, because this was not at all the way he behaved when he resisted his own troops just now. But there was no time to think too much at this time, the artillery troops were setting up their array step by step.
This time, the People's Army on the opposite side stopped running away, and Zulexin was lucky again. As long as the cannon is set up, no matter what the opponent's strategy is or what defensive method they adopt, they will be scum in the face of absolute firepower. Behind them is the main force of the Asian Cavalry Division. The cavalry has been sent out on both sides to conduct reconnaissance. The vast land is basically unobstructed. It is quite difficult to ambush oneself.
The afterglow of the setting sun slants on the Cossack artillery position. In the cold season, even under the sun, there is still no warmth. "We must take shelter from the cold in the Buying City tonight. This damn weather is really unbearable." Zulexin tightened his coat and looked at the low buying and selling city not far away, thinking daydreamingly. The afterglow of the sun shone on his face, making him a little dazed, and it took him a while to get used to it.
Several chimneys were slowly raised on the top of the city, making people feel at home in this bleak cold wind. After fighting for a while, it was time to eat free rice. However, the chimney should have been erected there a long time ago. Why is it still moving and facing me? Lie Zuxin suddenly became serious and said, "Not good!"
He reacted quickly, and his voice even preceded the violent whistling in the distance by a few seconds, but the fire was faster. Before he could make the next order, the explosion sounded.
Three artillery shells landed almost at the same time. One of them fell into the arranged cavalry artillery array and raised the two cannons. The splashing gravel passed through Zulexin's face, and the sound of the wind was very sharp. The blow on his face was more painful than the cold wind.
But Zulexin didn’t have time to feel this. He had already shouted at the top of his lungs: “Push the cannon away!”
No need to think about it, he knew he had made a big mistake. It is natural for the enemy to retreat with a great victory. He was always on guard against ambushes, but was inadvertently led step by step to the artillery coverage area set up in advance by the People's Army artillery. The first round of test firing just now was so accurate, and the subsequent lethality will be astonishing. Although he is a cavalryman, he has considerable knowledge of artillery.
His reaction was not unpleasant, but how easy was it to move a fixed cannon in a hurry?
Due to the unremitting efforts of the Shenyang Arsenal, especially the absorption of Western advanced hydraulic-mechanical composite braking mechanism technology, the People's Army's artillery fire rate can easily reach 10 rounds per minute. Almost at the same time that Zulexin gave the order, three more artillery shells roared in, specifically attacking the White Army's cavalry and artillery positions. This time, the accuracy was extremely accurate. Not only did it destroy three cannons, but what was even more abominable was that it riddled dozens of artillerymen who were desperately protecting the cannons.
A cannon without a gunner is just a pile of scrap metal, but a cannon without a gunner is also a useless person. Under the threat of sharp artillery, the gunners began to take cover. Some of them lay on the ground, and some even moved far away from the artillery group. Although Zulexin wanted to set up cannons to attack, he was unable to summon enough manpower for the time being. In addition, he also knew that the opponent's cannons were far beyond his range. Although Mongolia is located inland, he still feels hopeful about the future.
On the low wall of the Merchant City, Li Du set up a telescope to observe the effects of the shelling. For this bombardment, Li Du had to think hard.
All the defense lines outside the city will eventually be unable to hold because the number of people is too small. He already knew this result. The cost of defending the trenches outside the city is too high, but it is much more advantageous to defend the city against the city. With the many vertical tunnels in the city and the walls and houses that can withstand bullets, the enemy's cavalry units are completely unable to exert their combat effectiveness, while his infantry can take advantage of street fighting.
It’s just that the cavalry artillery carried by the Asian cavalry divisions is a huge threat. Imagine that 21 cannons are attacking a small town with a radius of less than four miles. Although its power is much smaller than that of infantry artillery, the earthen walls and wooden doors will never be able to withstand it; if the enemy bombs indiscriminately, the advantage of street fighting will be lost.
Therefore, we must try to destroy their artillery units, so Gao Fuyuan's battle to lure the enemy came into being.
First, use the firepower of mortars to let the enemy understand that without the use of artillery, they will not be able to successfully attack the Maimai City, and then fight and retreat, making progress step by step. In order to offset the weak firepower, the enemy will definitely try to set up cannons. At this time, the role of the tunnel will be reflected.
In fact, when digging the tunnel, Li Du had already taken a gamble. He deliberately left a very narrow and shallow passage in the middle when digging various tunnels, so that in order to save time and effort, the enemy would most likely pass through here first. Then based on inertial thinking, the enemy will definitely choose a relatively straight channel to advance forward. You must know that setting up cannons requires manual labor.
It is preset that the path for enemy artillery to pass is relatively flat., In this way, the trajectory of the enemy's artillery movement will be roughly clear. After Gao Fuyuan retreats to the established line of defense, the enemy's artillery will surely set up positions in order to conquer this line of defense.
This position has been selected for the enemy in advance, and of course it has also been measured by the Artillery Detachment of Buying and Selling City. For this battle, the artillery unit had done enough homework and had a full two hundred rounds of artillery shells nearby. It was a fight to the death. As long as the enemy's artillery array is defeated, no matter how the cavalry walks like the wind, it will just blow like the wind. In front of the firepower network composed of machine guns, mortars and even artillery, and in the trading city where every pit was taken, they were basically indistinguishable from targets.
The plan succeeded.
Nearly a hundred rounds of artillery shells were dumped on the artillery position of the cavalry division, almost destroying it. In just these three to five minutes, the artillery cavalry company, weapons and gunners belonging to the powerful Asian Cavalry Division were wiped out. Not only that, the artillery fire also affected the extremely limited infantry who guarded them and assisted in their formation, and they all fell in a pool of blood.
Even the cavalrymen nearby were also hit by stray bullets, but the People's Army's artillery was mainly aimed at its artillery array, so these people who were implicated can only be said to be very unlucky. It shouldn’t be!
Zuliexin’s heart is bleeding, these heavy weapons are not easy to handle. Most of their weapons were inherited from the old Russian army. After the Soviet Union changed, due to the war, not only the supply of the Red Army became a problem, but also the White Army in the Far East was completely cut off from weapon reinforcements due to the cutoff of transportation. Japan, their great benefactor, does not have very good economic and industrial conditions, so the supplements it can get are extremely limited.
Especially the cavalry artillery, which is a heavy weapon, the Japanese do not have much equipment themselves, so there is no need to expect them. In this way, one less person will be killed, and now, this heavy weapon that has been with them for several years will be said to be farewell to them completely. From then on, the Asian Cavalry Division became a true "cavalry division". This change made Zulexin extremely sad. A question also vaguely emerged in my mind: "Why are their cannons so accurate!?"
There is no room for overthinking. Out of his trust in himself, Baron Wen Ganlun entrusted him with such an important force, but he was ruined by him! Looking at the flames still emitting intermittently from the People's Army artillery, Zulekhin made a decision.
Since the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is greatly reduced when dismounted, can we use a roundabout method to take advantage of the cavalry's mobility? Although the road conditions are not good, and although the People's Army has made many obstacles with trenches, stone piles and earth clods, there are still some places along the three sides of the city where the cavalry can use its strengths. Now without artillery, a slow infantry charge would only lead to more casualties.
"The cavalry troops are pressing forward! They have smashed our artillery, but we still have the invincible Cossack cavalry! Rush into the trading city, blow up their cannons, and drive these Chinese into the Seglen River!" Enraged, Zulekhin made a very wrong decision and directly led his elite "Steppe Eagle" cavalry regiment into the land of death.
The three sides of the city, about five miles long, are relatively wide flat areas. Zulexin stood on a high hill and looked around and felt that the conditions for using cavalry were reasonable, so he gave this order. But what he saw from a distance was one thing, and what the white bandit cavalry on the front line felt was another thing entirely.
Although the order for a full-scale charge was issued, everyone still couldn't run fast. It was not because of anything else. It was because the cavalry saw the rocks blocking the front and instinctively looked for a more suitable road.
There are indeed some places suitable for cavalry to walk in the ditches. However, when hundreds or even thousands of people squeezed in from a certain gap, the galloping situation Zulexin expected did not happen. In the unfavorable terrain where people and horses were crowded together, the cavalrymen instinctively tightened their horses' reins one by one and could not help but slow down their pace. When looking up from the high hill, there are several groups of people taking part in irregular queue relays. This speed can only be said to be slightly faster than hiking.
Is this my cavalry? Zulexin shouted at the top of his lungs: "Spread out and don't begrudge the horses. Are you fools trying to attract their cannons?"
"Perhaps his words reminded the gunners in the distance, or perhaps the commanders had a tacit understanding. Li Du had noticed this unconscious flaw in the White Army cavalry. Perhaps, this scene is what he would like to see. He decisively ordered the artillerymen to throw the shells that hit the enemy's remaining cannons towards the huddled cavalry.
The first two shots missed slightly and only injured two scattered riders. After all, this is an emergency situation, and the gunners still need to conduct calibration shooting. Unlike the previous targeting of the White Army's artillery formation, the success was achieved after many calculations in advance.
However, it didn't take long. With a well-trained shout, the coordinates were calculated again at the units, and a 6.3-kilogram grenade shell roared towards the crowd and penetrated through the horses. After hitting the ground, his head dug into the mud and stood upright, like a monument.
The crowd was as silent as death for an instant. This sudden iron guy tightened everyone's hearts. At the next moment, everyone present unanimously said one word in their hearts: "Run!"

Chapter 484 The troops are approaching the city
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
There was a loud noise, and the raised dust scattered everywhere like a goddess scattering flowers, falling on the shoulders and heads of the survivors. If you look carefully, the dust is clearly mixed with dense traces of blood, and you can't tell whether it's blood seeping into the soil or soil and blood mixed together.
This shot took the lives of at least thirty people and more than five horses. More importantly, the commander of the "Prairie Eagle" Cavalry Regiment, who was ordered to direct traffic, was also hit by a piece of shrapnel in his neck and died on the spot. Those were loyal and brave subordinates who had been with Zulexin for many years, and they were lost in the trading city without any explanation!
The artillery of the People's Army, which was victorious, discovered the good method of "burst firing", and began to consciously turn the muzzle to the densely populated areas. Originally, the area around the trading city was relatively flat, but due to man-made ditching and the random placement of mounds of earth and stones, this area has become a nightmare for the cavalry: it is impossible to gallop on horseback, and the area is small, so the advantage of the cavalry is almost zero. Thousands of people put together, even the poorest gunner can always knock down a few people with one cannonball.
Zulexin, who was experienced in fighting, quickly discovered this problem and immediately issued an order. We have to admire the well-trained and good command system of the Cossack cavalry. Even on this battlefield under heavy artillery fire, his instructions can be quickly executed.
They quickly dispersed their formations, using only a small number of "cannon fodder" troops to advance forward in a circuitous manner, while the main force spread out far away to supplement them at any time. At this distance, rifles couldn't hit, and artillery fire was too wasteful, so when the People's Army artillery went silent, they were already approaching the city.
The reason why the cannon is mute is Li Du's intention. After a burst of rapid fire just now, the artillery has achieved brilliant results, and it will have little effect against the galloping cavalry. The limited artillery shells should be used when they are more useful. Anyway, he gave a perfect answer to this phase of the combat mission.
Without the cavalry and artillery, the power of the Asian cavalry division will be greatly reduced, especially in siege. No matter how short the trading city is, cavalry cannot leap up the city wall; no matter how weak the wall of the trading city is, it cannot be broken through by the flesh and blood of horses. The cavalry of a single type and the sparse crowds make it easier for the People's Army infantry to take advantage of it and defend against danger. Let's save this cannon for use when the enemy attacks the city on a large scale.
At this time, we can see the advantage of resisting the city and defending it. Although the trading city can only be regarded as a mound in the strict sense in the eyes of the Central Plains people, it is still an insurmountable chasm for the cavalry. The infantry of the People's Army hid behind the stacks and in the holes of the wall, and exchanged fire with the White Russian cavalry, but they took advantage of it - the bullets from the other side could hit the earth wall with a rustling sound, and also hit the earth with a rustling sound, but it was difficult to do so. Shooting in the back, after all, they were shooting aimlessly. Motorized walking would have tested the rider's equestrian skills and marksmanship; on the contrary, the People's Army infantry could aim calmly. At this time, the People's Army with a small number of people showed an advantage over its large number of people here.
Fixed shooting is obviously not good for the Belarusian army, so they automatically switch to mobile shooting. The first group of cavalry fired their guns while marching, and then immediately retreated from the battlefield. The cavalry following them repeated the actions of the previous group. However, amid the seemingly orderly defense changes and measured advances and retreats, there seemed to be a tragic feeling, because people kept falling off their horses. The war horse that lost its master screamed helplessly and followed the tide of horses helplessly.
The intensity of the battle is obvious, because with each round of cavalry team changes, Zulexin can always hear the people below reporting how many soldiers have been lost. Even in the field, he could clearly see that many returning horses were completely empty. Some of the originally vigorous knights fell under the city, and some died on the way back.
The People's Army opposite is a powerful force!
He took a breath and rubbed his hands uneasily. Although the Buying and Selling City is close at hand and the city walls are short, the road ahead will still be difficult for the cavalry troops who have lost their siege weapons and artillery. Moreover, there was a huge hidden worry that the People's Army reinforcements from Kulun had not shown any movement for a long time. This was originally a good thing, but it made him more and more uneasy.
No reason! Buying City and Kyaktu are the choke points between China and Russia, and they are not far from Kulun. With the Chinese young marshal's vengeful character, it is impossible to just let it go. Moreover, there is currently no war in China, and the Chinese are capable of mobilizing in this regard.
Indeed, precisely because the city is located on the only highway north of Kulun, and there is a direct highway to Beijing via Kulun, if this transportation line can be firmly controlled by China, Tangnu Ulianghai will The stability of the region, coupled with the obedience of Hulunbuir in the east, is equivalent to stabilizing the entire northern border of China. If the Japanese had not controlled Manchuria and stirred up trouble there, there would have been no white bandits making trouble at all.The white bandits who were supplied with supplies starved to death.
General Wen Ganlun, who led the main force at the rear, thought the same way. As soon as he reported on the front line that the battle to attack the Trading City was extremely difficult, he knew that he was in trouble this time. His original plan was to just "borrow" the road, make a surprise attack on the small places of Buying and selling cities and Kyaktu, and then directly sweep the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Far East garrison. He didn't pay attention to the Chinese at all. Unexpectedly, he was at a disadvantage right out of the gate. His mobility was not able to be used, and he was trapped here before he could see his true master.
Without cannons, it would be difficult to capture the city, and with a series of reinforcements coming from south to east, the originally planned assault operation turned into a stalemate, which was no longer his strength. The People's Army had such a large formation outside the city. His cavalry was not suitable for fighting in the narrow streets of the city, and God knows what kind of fortifications they had done in the city!
From early morning to afternoon, a precious day had been wasted, and Wen Ganlun did not want to waste any more energy on this small town. Judging from the tenacious fighting style and tactical level of the soldiers on the opposite side, this is undoubtedly a powerful force. Even if they win in battle, it will be a tragic victory. He decided to give up the continued use of troops against the trading city, thus having greater room for maneuver strategically.
This decision is undoubtedly the most appropriate at this time and place. Even though Zuliexin was unwilling to do so, he faithfully implemented the decision. He sent a cavalry regiment to circle far east and south of the city, encircling it without fighting as a containment. He personally led the main force of the "Prairie Eagle" cavalry regiment to kill the Russian border first, where their old enemy was .
The Russian defenders of Kyakhta had actually heard the roar of artillery and gunfire like fried beans coming from China, but they had no intention of rescuing. An order came from above: since the Chinese army has sternly rejected the Soviet Union's friendly cross-border "help", then let these arrogant yellow-skinned monkeys bear the power of the White Russian army! Although the White Russian army is now retreating steadily, in the eyes of the Red Army, even such a defeated army will completely defeat the Chinese army.
To be honest, the Soviet Russian government is very dissatisfied with the recent series of actions of the Fengcian government headed by Zhang Hanqing. If it weren't for the powerful enemy Japan on their side, it is still unclear whether they could have endured the occupation of Mokuowei, Hulunbuir, etc. by the Feng army, and it was still unclear whether they could recover Mongolia forcefully. A small loss in the Far East is fine, but Mongolia is the strategic depth of its Siberian heartland and an important lifeline connecting its far-flung Far East and the center of Europe. Its loss has uncovered the legacy of Russia’s decades of cultivation here. A layer of soil.
Mongolia has changed through the powerful means of the People's Party. If a gap is not opened here as soon as possible, once all the pro-Russian forces are disintegrated, there will be no "leading party" at that time, and there will be no suitable reason, then we really have to say goodbye to this place.
Therefore, when the White Army entered Mongolia, everyone from the Soviet government to the leaders of the Far East was extremely happy. As long as the People's Army loses or succumbs to pressure, the Chinese government will "ask" the Soviet army to help suppress the bandits. At that time, we can take this opportunity to enter Mongolia again, and then gradually cultivate agents in the name of suppressing bandits, and restore Russia's influence here. Anyway, Mongolia is vast and sparsely populated, and the "bandits" are unpredictable, so the Soviet army will legally hide and seek in this area, which is about the same size as the three eastern provinces.
But the wishful thinking failed.
Zhang Hanqing bluntly rejected their "good intentions". Although he did not seem to see through their plan, he believed that it was necessary to use his own strength in this battle with the White Russian army. If you use other people's power to protect your homeland and country, you will be short-handed and look down on others. There is still an extremely important issue of the Eastern Route that remains unresolved between China and the Soviet Union. Given the appetite of the Soviet Union and Russia, once they regain their strength, they will definitely spend a lot of time on this issue. He needs to flex his muscles at the right time to set the tone for future negotiations.
Negotiations in the international community have always followed the "law of the jungle". The strong only respect opponents of equal size. As long as the Fengtian troops perform at a high level and demonstrate the determination, morale, and ability to powerfully control the country's territory, he is confident that the biggest Sino-Soviet issue that plagued China in the 1920s will be perfectly resolved. After all, being a neighbor to a strong and friendly China was the direction of the Soviet Union's diplomacy with China in the 1920s and 1930s. When fists failed to get what they wanted, the other side would definitely switch to high-fives as allies.
In order to show his strength, Zhang Hanqing spent a lot of money and wanted to accomplish all his achievements in one battle. What Commander Wen Ganlun didn't know was that while the defenders of Buying City were desperately defending, a huge encirclement was quietly forming against him. No matter whether he can win the Trading City or not, he cannot change this outcome. Of course, the People's Army successfully defended this small town. In addition to its political significance, it also dealt a fatal blow to the Belarusian army. In addition to morale, there was also a delay in time.
However, the Asian Cavalry Division, which had no consciousness at all, was using its main force to attack Kyaktu, the neighbor of Buying City, a border town that originally belonged to China. The latter is cautiously waiting for help from the Chinese government. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??This is a border town that originally belonged to China.

The 5th Army also made a lot of efforts to eliminate this white bandit army.
Although it is responsible for the security of the entire Far East, including Central and Eastern Siberia, under the general policy of not irritating the Japanese as much as possible, the Soviet Far East People's Army focuses on suppressing bandits, especially the Xie people who are fleeing in the Siberian Plateau and Mongolia. Menov Belarusian Army. It was similar to Mr. Chiang’s later thinking of “Anti-foreign forces must first settle the internal affairs.” For the designated Soviet regime to exist legally, the complete elimination of White Russian forces must be a necessary condition.
“After all, neither the Japanese nor the European intervention forces are the true owners of this land. The former regime, supported by strong foreign aid, is the biggest worry for the new regime
Therefore, from Chita to Kyaktu, the commander of the 5th Army, Matiasevich, deployed heavy troops to cut off the connection between the domestic hinterland and the Far Eastern Republic, so that the Belarusian army could not freely obtain supplies from the Japanese in the East. Of course, it also served as a buffer between the Japanese intervention forces and the Soviet-Russian border. In addition, whether there are other deep-seated ideas - such as whether it is necessary to deploy so many troops on the weak Mongolian border as a "just in case"? Due to Zhang Hanqing's strong veto, there is no need to dig deeper for the time being.
Now, the Far East People's Revolutionary Army from the Kyaktu front line has to face the pressure of the Belarusian army. Neyman's 35th Infantry Division was the main force, supplemented by Pisarev's 5th Cavalry Division, Sretensk's 2nd Cavalry Brigade, and the elite Troitskosavsk 1st Cavalry Brigade. They were placed on the east and west sides of Kyakhta, firmly guarding the White Russian army's attempt to cross the railway and penetrate into the hinterland of Soviet Russia. Setting up such a large formation on the Sino-Mongolian-Soviet border was not just for defense. The decision-makers at the time never imagined that the White Russian Army had to fight against the White Russian Army, but it eventually evolved into having to prevent the White Russian Army from jumping over the wall. Who knew that the very small People's Army on the opposite side was so bloody and capable?
Hearing the rumble of artillery fire from the People's Army across the city, the Soviet troops were all shaken up. At this time, the ordinary Soviet army still had a relatively "simple" consciousness. During the political mobilization, they knew that this army, which was in a bitter battle (imaginary scenario), was the same as our own, the enemy of the Japanese army, and both had the goal of liberation. The political ambitions of the enslaved people in their respective countries are inevitably somewhat sympathetic to each other, even if their leaders have political tricks of one kind or another.
However, from the perspective of human nature, it is the same regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, whether it is a dead Taoist friend or a poor Taoist. The more intense the battle on the opposite side, the more fortunate it is that the white bandit army ushered in was weakened by the yellow people on the opposite side first. No matter what the final battle situation is, it will be beneficial and harmless to the Red Army. The arrogant Chinese have paid the price for their arrogance, and that is what they deserve. Although the war has started so far, and the Red Army's combat power has expanded, the White Bandit Army is not worth mentioning, but for the yellow-skinned neighbors who have risen from the ruins, they are definitely an existence that cannot be underestimated.
However, when the roaring White Army came into their sight, they were still shocked: the army of the young marshal who had vowed to fight quickly fell silent after seemingly fighting a decent battle. It feels a bit anticlimactic! So much so that Matiasevich, who was sitting in the city, couldn't help but think: "After all, the rise of the Chinese army has been too short, and the army's combat effectiveness cannot be achieved overnight! If we want to completely annihilate this bandit army, we still need to rely on the heroic Soviet Russia." Red Army!"
Indeed, the Soviet Red Army, which has experienced several years of civil war, is very experienced in combat. Their logistics equipment far exceeded that of the White Army, and they also had several times the advantage in numbers. In addition, they were waiting for work. With just one encounter, the two elite cavalry units of the Red Army spread out on both wings tightly clamped the vanguard of the Asian Cavalry Division. , causing it to quickly fall into a bitter struggle.
The shells roaring from the small town of Kyaktu terrified the White Army. The Soviet Russian army had a much larger number of cannons and shells regardless of cost than the Chinese army. All of this made the White Army, which had suffered so much from the Chinese army, feel that it was still bearable to fight the Chinese army just now. However, there is no point in saying any of this now.
The smoke in the sky and the corpses of countless fallen people or horses made Wen Ganlun and Lie Zuxin understand the fact that if their Asian Cavalry Division did not retreat, it would fall into a war with no chance of winning. There is no logistics base, no supplies, or even any reinforcements. Standing in front of the superior Soviet Red Army is undoubtedly asking for death. It is too dangerous to continue deep into the Russian border.
The tough counterattack of Maocheng also made them understand that the Chinese army in the south was not easy to mess with, and their hope of holding the city and defending it was shattered. But at this moment, how to effectively preserve our strength for a comeback is a difficult problem facing us.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…Fengjun in the north has sent an infantry division on its way here. Judging from today's firefight, the cavalry division's mobility is okay, but it obviously lacks firepower when attacking the city. If you fight with infantry, you have no chance of winning.
There is only one direction that can be done: west, west, and west again. The vast western part of Mongolia is sparsely populated, there are almost no troops stationed there, and there is no decent resistance force, which just takes advantage of the cavalry. However, it is also desolate and inhabited, so the troops may have to suffer some logistical hardships.
With this thought, Wen Ganlun quickly exchanged views with Zulekhin, and then immediately ordered: "Abandon the firefight with the Russian soldiers, and everyone will turn westward!"
The amnestied White Russian cavalry quickly broke away from the battle. They perfectly demonstrated their skillful riding skills and well-trained training on the battlefield. Thousands of them tightened their reins almost at the same time and turned around with a very small turning radius. The whole movement is like flowing clouds and flowing water, which is spectacular.
It’s just the wounded soldiers and the cavalry who lost their mounts who suffered. The Belarusian army is tough and effective, but most of them are adventurers and original interests dissatisfied with the Soviet regime. They had a common hatred for the new Soviet Russian regime, but it was far from the friendship between colleagues. They turned around and left after giving the order, not caring about the helpless former comrades on the ground.
The Asian Cavalry Division moves very quickly, but the cavalry without mounts is destined to die or be captured in the vast Mongolian plateau, but Baron Wen Ganlun can't care about all this. Because almost at the same time he ordered to retreat, a dense group of small black dots appeared in the distant east.
With many years of war experience, he knew that this was definitely a team of at least several thousand people. And judging from the direction of this force, it is absolutely impossible for it to be his own reinforcements - he has no reinforcements at all.

Everyone thought that the army coming from the east must be the 4th Fengjun Division sent by Wu Junsheng, the governor of Heilongjiang, but no one expected that it turned out to be a miscellaneous army.
The military discipline does not look very good, and the uniforms are not neat. Some even have all kinds of ribbons and epaulettes that come from unknown places. They are all nondescript and very funny. The weapons are not the imitation Japanese 1912 standard Mauser commonly used by the army. Rifles are available in Russian, Czech, and Japanese styles. It is no exaggeration to describe them as “Made in All Nations”.
If someone hadn’t called out to the defenders of the Merchant City first, they would have been mistaken for White Russian reinforcements and severely beaten.
"We are the Northeast Volunteer Army, and our commander, General Zhang Zongchang, wants to talk to General Li Du!"
If Zhang Hanqing were here, he would laugh till he vomits blood. The good reputation of the "Northeast Volunteer Army" cannot be ruined by these ruffians. However, it was indeed called "Northeast Volunteer Army", a name that Zhang Zongchang came up with himself. Of course, the official name is "Northeast Mixed Brigade."
This is a team that has made a triumphant return from the front line of suppressing bandits, but ironically its main component is composed of bandits, but they are surrenders. During the anti-bandit campaign in the Northeast, Zhang Zongchang relied on his extraordinary courage and connections to pull out a team of his own from the faction-ridden Fengjun Army and achieved great success. After the war, Zhang Zuolin personally named him the "Northeast Mixed Brigade" ".
This is actually a prank. Normal armies all have numbers. At worst, they are known as Guard Divisions. This "Northeast Mixed Brigade" sounds very cool, but in the eyes of the Feng Faction people, it is actually a superior force. Not allowed on the countertop.
The good sources of soldiers have all been selected. They are all regular armies, each with its own subordinates. There were only the stragglers who had lost their masters and had to surrender, the green forest heroes who did not want to grow crops but were not accepted by the Feng army, the down-and-out descendants of the upper classes of the Mongolian and Manchu people, as well as the old White Russian army, the defeated Czech army, and The Japanese ronin wandering in the Northeast were united under the banner of Zhang Zongchang and became one.
It is estimated that only Zhang Zongchang can put this "multi-national force" together, and no branch of the Feng clan likes this force, so Zhang Zongchang has become a father who does not love his mother, and even the military expenses are Zhang Zuolin. Thinking of Zhang Zongchang's surrender, he looked pitiful and allocated a small amount, so that he could barely guarantee not to starve to death.
Just when the army was so depressed that it was about to fall, the White Russians were fooled. This was a major opportunity for Zhang Zongchang, who was in a desperate situation. He hurriedly expressed his intention to lead his troops to "suppress the bandits" to Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing.
At this time, the battlefield situation was that the Northeast garrison was focused on guarding against the Japanese, and there was no extra force to rush for reinforcements. Only Wu Junsheng pulled up a 4th Division to stop them nearby, mainly to prevent the White Russian soldiers from returning to Hailar. The three divisions in the pass cannot quench their thirst nearby, and the main force of Zhang Hanqing's Northwest People's Army is also located in Shaanxi and Gansu. Under this circumstance, Zhang Hanqing responded to Zhang Zuolin's message and agreed to join the "Northeast Mixed Brigade".
It’s not that the Northwest People’s Army is not strong, but that in the face of the extremely mobile “Asian Cavalry Division”, the few insufficiently powerful People’s Army in Mongolia are not enough to eliminate its threat. It is very difficult to encircle and annihilate a cavalry unit without three or five times the strength, because the opponent can gather their fists to attack one of their own at any time.
Moreover, Zhang Hanqing is also worried that this White Russian army will penetrate deep into western Inner Mongolia - from a strategic analysis point of view, it is very possible, because if the defense zone is drawn along the line from Merchant City to Kulun to Guisui, To the east of this line is the advantageous encirclement of the Fengjun and People's Army. The survival rate is not high. On the contrary, the vast western Mongolia has a larger scope of activities.
It is a huge project to encircle and suppress the Belarusian army in this desolate land that is almost as large as the Northeast. The White Russian army is cold-resistant by nature, but the Chinese army is weak; cavalry supplies can be obtained locally and cannot really trap them. Another strategic concern is that along western Inner Mongolia, there may be opportunities to harass Xinjiang, Ningxia, and Gansu, which would cause trouble for the People's Army's strategic layout of stabilizing the northwest.
"What no one, including Zhang Hanqing, expected was that Zhang Zongchang's "Northeast Independent Brigade" actually helped him solve this big problem. Of course, no one thinks highly of them now.
At least that’s what Li Du thought. He was originally under Wu Junsheng, so he naturally knew who Zhang Zongchang was. He was an expert in suppressing bandits and a master in causing harm to the local area. Speaking of which, the conferment of several big bandit leaders in Jilin, especially the conferment of Lu Yonggui and the capture of Gao Shixiu, was due to Zhang Zongchang's pioneering work. This was clearly rewarded by the bandit suppression headquarters of the three eastern provinces at that time, and he almost actually conferred the "system" He held the position of "internal affairs", but a good hand was ruined by himself.
The matter also comes back to the banquet where there was a strange combination of circumstances.
The suppression of the bandits was basically successful, Zhang Zuolin planned toMyself, why should we have the same meaning as colleagues? Although he seemed to have won the battle, he knew that he had taken advantage of the location. If they hadn't waited for work and had the advantage of the city, and planned to ambush the opponent's cavalry artillery, but the opponent was only good at maneuvering, their own men and horses would not be able to defeat them no matter what. Only after fighting against each other did we know that the Belarusian bandit army is still very powerful in combat.
"Brigadier Zhang, don't take it lightly. The combat effectiveness of the Belarusian army's individual soldiers is comparable to that of the 27th Division Cavalry Regiment. I think Brigadier Zhang's troops are all cavalry, and a head-on confrontation with them will be a fierce battle. I'd better rest first and wait for the Marshal's latest update." Please give me your instructions, the two cavalry divisions from the northwest will arrive soon."
"The military situation is like a raging fire, so there will be no delay. Let the brothers eat first, and we will pursue them immediately. We must win with one blow!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 487 Such pursuit
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Zongchang spent a lot of money on this battle.
Fengjun has been regularized. If his army has no further achievements, it will definitely be abolished. The Zhifeng and Feng families in Guan Nei are temporarily in a state of balance. The northwest has a lot to do, but it is under the personal command of the young marshal, and it continues smoothly. With the pedigree of those in the People's Party, they will definitely not welcome a group of rough guys like themselves. This banditry in Belarus is my last card. If I lose, I have nothing, but if I win, I have a bright future.
He is a good gambler, otherwise there would be no "Pai Gow General" in official history. Of course, to be able to win at the gambling table, he still has a plan: his troops are basically born with beards, have banditry, and are not afraid of death; they are all proficient in riding skills, and they are not inferior to the White Russian soldiers in cavalry combat; as long as After annihilating the White Russian army, you can save your life with this credit and even have the opportunity to lead an army alone. The lost troops can be made up for later, while the White Russian army will lose one by one.
So he was ready to show off before he came, but when he came to Mongolia he found that the People's Army had already taken the lead. If he waits until the reinforcements arrive, he will basically have nothing to do, or there will be fewer opportunities to perform, which is very different from his original intention. Therefore, he wanted to defeat the White Army before reinforcements arrived to give himself a foundation to establish himself.
Especially since the White Russians were newly defeated and had lost all their energy, as long as he desperately broke through their first blockade, based on his understanding of the White Russians, it would definitely be a chasing and fighting situation.
It needs to be mentioned that Zhang Zongchang also recruited many Belarusian officers and soldiers. As a result of his interaction with them, he knew exactly what these Belarusian soldiers were thinking: speculation and cherishing their lives.
The reason for speculation is that these people were originally dissatisfied with the rule of the Red Soviets and rebelled against the country. After several years of poverty, they were corrupted and won over by various figures with money, and they became a mercenary army that was willing to take care of the country. Loyalty loses faith. Without faith, it is naturally difficult to be loyal. When fighting against the wind, you are extremely brave, but when you are defeated, you will be completely defeated.
So he bet that he would win this battle and get recognition from the young commander, so he was full of confidence.
Li Du has tried his best, but he can't stop Zhang Zongchang from underestimating his enemy and his dream. But as a comrade, he still arranged to move food and fodder from the trading city to the friendly forces for logistical work. The emperor had a tradition of feeding hungry soldiers and prisoners, so he wanted this army to be well fed and drunk no matter what.
What surprised him was that many officers and soldiers were dissatisfied when they saw the steamed buns, pickles and sliced ??meat. Many people were shouting in unintelligible words, which surprised him. Only through translation did I find out that these Russian-speaking officers and soldiers were clamoring for wine!
We are about to go to the battlefield, do we want to go strong? You must know that in the regulations of the People's Army, it is not only traditional to prohibit drinking during battles, but also in peacetime, alcohol is absolutely prohibited in the military camp.
Zhang Zongchang chuckled and said: "It's okay. These White Russian soldiers are so bold after drinking. They don't make a sound on the battlefield even if they have missing arms or legs. If they are hit by bullets, they will still rush forward as long as they can breathe. If you don't give them alcohol, then Stop fighting, or you will get into chaos first."
As the name suggests, the Trading City is a place for trading. Furs and wool products are important commodities for Russia, while tea and wine are the most popular items for China. These items are even easier to buy than steamed buns and pickles. But drinking on the eve of a war is a bit of a joke. This is war, you will lose your head!
Li Du was doubtful. He knew that the Russian old man was addicted to alcohol, but he didn't want to believe that he was also addicted to law during the war. However, looking at Zhang Zongchang's confident look, he didn't say much more. He ordered the defenders to bring wine, and if they didn't have enough, they would buy it from merchants. He should just send these drunkards off. After all, they were also a kind-hearted rescue force. This was a courtesy. Can't lose it.
I don’t want these people to die after seeing the wine. The Chinese ones are better, while the Russian ones always raise their necks to pick up the wine jar and pour it into their stomachs, as if they were picking up treasures. Many people drink it to the end, and then wipe their mouths with a satisfied look. They don't know if they are drunk or the refreshing nectar after a long drought.
Can such an army fight? Li Du and the others were stunned as if they were looking at a living treasure. Come on, it's better for us to hold on to the trading city. Maybe tomorrow there will be news that this group of people has been wiped out. We can't count on them.
After drinking and eating, Zhang Zongchang convened a large group of military leaders for a pre-battle mobilization meeting. With only a few words, he excited these people's blood: "Brothers, we will pursue the Asian Cavalry Division later. Everyone must fight hard for me in this battle. If we fight well, the young marshal will be happy, and we will have wine every time. If we are defeated, we will go wherever we go. Anyway, I have no shame to see the marshal or the marshal again. .”
??His words were spoken by the translators accompanying the army in Russian, Japanese, and an unknown language, which immediately aroused the bloody spirit of the group of people. After conveying the news to his subordinates respectively, various strange sounds such as "Ula" and "Who is the skeleton" (charge, kill) were heard from far and near, which was very similar to the noise of the Conference of Nations.
Under the mixed gazes of the merchant city defenders, thousands of miscellaneous troops mounted their horses. Those who drank a little were quite neat, but those who drank a lot couldn't help but shake their heads, and a few even fell off their horses, but they soon got up again, cursing.
Relying on such a group of people to fight against the famous White Army on the Siberian Plateau? God knows how many will come back! Li Du watched Zhang Zongchang whip away with a feeling of sadness for his misfortune and anger for his inability to fight, silently thinking about the impact on the war situation after the entire army was wiped out.
At the same time, at the mouth of the Egg River and Segeleng River, a hundred miles away from the trading city, Baron Wen Ganlun, the head of the Asian Cavalry Division, and his assistant Lie Zuxin were nervously inquiring about the background of this new force from afar. Unexpectedly, they were defeated first by the Merchant City and then by the Soviet Army. What they feared most during the expedition was not the loss of morale and the lack of logistical supplies after the defeat, but the occlusion of the current situation, especially in this unfamiliar place. area.
If this army assists in the defense of Buying City, combined with the news that the Marshal has mobilized two heavy cavalry divisions from northwest China to enter Mongolia, it will be known that they have little hope of returning calmly.
It is already so difficult to buy and sell cities, let alone Kulun, which is an important town in Mongolia. The convenient transportation between the two places can block the passage of his own army at any time. Even if he fights his way out, he will still face the threat of Fengjun from the Northeast when he returns, which is too costly.
"Still according to the previous plan, if we can't retreat, we will march to western Inner Mongolia, meet up with the black lama entrenched in Mazong Mountain, and wait for an opportunity to enter Xinjiang. The Chinese army there is weak and is developing. It is also a good channel to threaten Soviet Russia." This is Wen Ganlun is cheering. Although he suffered two consecutive defeats, as the coach, he cannot be discouraged.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to live in the vast Gobi Desert. We are not familiar with the road conditions here. If we get lost, it will be difficult to ensure the logistics of these thousands of people just relying on local supplies." Assistant Lie Zuxin who plays a staff role put forward this Doubt, today's battle gave him for the first time depressing thoughts about his future.
"It's okay. Before entering Mongolia, Chief Semenov has sent people to contact Bashichi, Kegorodov, Kazantsev and others in western Mongolia. They will work with us to deal with the yellow monkeys in Xinjiang. I have just sent someone to contact you, and there should be news soon."
"Oh", Lie Zuxin's eyes lit up. With the leading party, he will be more confident. No matter how strong the Chinese military force is, they can't use it in western Inner Mongolia. This is not suitable for large groups of people to fight. It is the battlefield where the cavalry shows its power.
However, they did not wait for the arrival of the messenger. Instead, the sentry in the distance hurriedly reported a major news: the newly added cavalry unit of the People's Army was rushing towards their station, and the forward line was less than twenty miles away.
Wen Ganlun was furious. The Cossack cavalry has hundreds of years of fine historical tradition. In the cold weapon era, it had never been defeated by anyone in frontal combat. Even in today's battle, we were defeated because we used siege tactics that we were not good at against the defenders who had strong artillery. The Chinese don't know the heights of the world. Do they really think that their Asian cavalry division, which is famous in the Northeast, is a soft persimmon? They abandoned their solid fortresses and insisted on engaging in mobile warfare, so let us avoid the shame of two defeats today and rekindle our morale!
He shouted an order: "Everyone is here, gather immediately!"
In fact, there was no need for him to give this order. The White Russian soldiers who had been fighting for a long time had already heard the thundering sound of horse hooves and had already arranged their battle formations. In the time between the discovery of the outpost and the report, Zhang Zongchang's cavalry troops approached another ten miles.
It’s not that he can’t keep up, but that Zhang Zongchang needs a stopping power. The cavalry charge is very powerful, but it is also very energy-consuming. Unlike human beings who have "one surge of energy, then it weakens, and three times it is exhausted", horses can never charge for a long time. After a long sprint of ten miles, the horses will basically lose their vigor. So when Genghis Khan All Mongolian soldiers have at least three horses per man to save horse power.
This gave the Belarusian bandits time to regroup. Zhang Zongchang didn't care about this. He had no intention of making a sneak attack in the first place. According to the Russian's urine, if they defeat the opponent's attack head-on, they will basically lose the courage to fight again. Although you will suffer heavy losses at the beginning, you will be in a situation of beating the drowned dog, that is, suppressing and chasing bandits, and you will have a lot of fun.
After dozens of miles, the drunken soldiers were awakened by the cold wind and felt refreshed. Ten miles away from the White Army camp, Zhang Zongchang ordered a short rest and made final preparations for the battle.
Opposite, Wen Ganlun's soldiers have gathered and are on standby, waiting for this life-and-death battle to begin. On the grassland, the most dangerous enemy of the cavalry force is another cavalry force. Without eliminating the other party, he cannot calmly advance towards Simon.
This is an open ground, with flat land for dozens of miles around, and everything is clear, so there is no conspiracy to be used. Everyone relies on their own bravery, ability and luck, and is fair and just.

Chapter 488 Showdown

After mobilizing for the battle, Zhang Zongchang silently threw up a copper plate and muttered: "Good luck to you!"
Whether or not this battle can be won will determine the future of this army, as well as its own status in the Feng Faction, especially whether the Young Warriors faction headed by Zhang Hanqing will accept them. It depends on now.
The copper plate formed a parabola in the air and slowly fell to the ground. After bouncing for a while, it lay quietly on the ground, revealing two patterns of rice ears. Zhang Zongchang looked at it nervously, then jumped up with a big smile and said loudly: "Okay, attack!"
Thousands of horses galloped, and thousands of cavalry made "ho-ho" sounds at the same time, turning the sand into a battlefield, and the wind in the Gobi was covered up by people shouting and neighing. There are over a thousand cavalry, boundless, and the momentum of one horse is enough to equal that of several fully armed soldiers.
The first regiment led by the Belarusian officer Rokin was the main force on the frontal battlefield. Luo Jin was Zhang Zongchang's most proud battlefield killer. He fought bravely and became stronger when faced with a strong enemy. He often tore apart Huzi's camp and made many contributions to the breakthrough of subsequent troops.
Cavalry battles have always focused on encirclement in the shape of a wild goose. In this way, as long as they break through all the way, the friendly forces next to them will quickly use rapid penetration to disconnect the opponent's front line, and then depending on the situation, the larger number will win locally. If the opponent does not fight, it basically just allows the cavalry to take advantage of mobility, and a major defeat is not far away.
But Zhang Zongchang did the opposite today. He used a small temporary third group to suppress the two wings, focusing on Luo Jin's breakthrough. Behind them was the second regiment led by Molchanov, who also followed the idea of ??a central breakthrough. This style of play that ignores both sides and only focuses on the middle is extremely adventurous: once the center fails to break through the enemy's defense line immediately, and one's own wings are suppressed, it will immediately fall into the opponent's encirclement and fall into a bitter battle.
This is a one-shot deal, if you win, you will win big, if you lose, you will lose big.
If we say the biggest difference between this cavalry battle and Zhang Hanqing’s Guard Brigade’s battle to suppress bandits four years ago, it is that the People’s Army cavalry units are generally equipped with new carbines. After all, the era of hot weapons is coming. If the cavalry does not have its own assault firepower, it will be a dead end when facing heavy infantry. No matter how maneuverable it is, it can't be faster than bullets!
Although Zhang Zongchang's troops do not belong to any Fengtian Dajia, due to the leap-forward ability of Shenyang Arsenal, the new carbine of the infantry division's cavalry regiment in each organization was completed in a very short period of time. This obsolete old carbine , I am still willing to give it to the provincial garrison troops and miscellaneous armies.
Zhang Zongchang does not dislike the old and the new. According to his experience in Beijing, in terms of accuracy, power or convenience, even the old-style carbine of the Feng dynasty is better than what was originally equipped by the Zhizhi and Anhui dynasties.
This is due to the Fengtian’s large investment in weapons manufacturing. Why did the Fengjun army suddenly rise to prominence in just a few years and quickly become a force that made both the Japanese and Russians fearful?
With enough soldiers, good discipline, diligent training, and powerful weapons, how can we not improve our combat effectiveness?
Anyway, in terms of cavalry firepower, Zhang Zongchang's army is definitely not weaker than the Asian Cavalry Division. The numbers of both sides are roughly the same. Apart from slightly different tactics, the competition is about whose perseverance and will are better.
At a distance of two hundred meters, both sides fired at the same time. Bullets were flying on the ground for several kilometers in front, and all the riders hugged their horses to avoid possible damage. However, the more important thing than dodging is to get closer to the opponent faster. Otherwise, even if you are not hit by random shots, if the horse underneath you is injured and falls to the ground, the impact of this speed will at least seriously injure the rider, let alone The basic fate of a rider who lands is to be crushed by the hooves of either horse!
Precisely because shooting people and horses basically has the same effect, the carbine is very powerful even though it has a short range, because it can also fire continuously. It is also called a carbine | gun - there is no way, sprinting in a short distance, if it is like a traditional It is inconvenient and misses opportunities to fire a rifle and pull the bolt once. Within a range of 200 meters, the reaction time is only ten or twenty seconds, which is basically a one-time use. Considering the primary reason, I'm afraid it's not much more useful than the saber.
This is one of the reasons why cavalry battles come and go quickly. It can shoot a large number of bullets in a short period of time without having to aim accurately. Just the bullets whizzing towards the sky can put heavy psychological pressure on people. Usually after one bullet is dropped, the battle is basically resolved. As for the saber, it is just a supplement to show a man's prowess at close range.
Since using dense machine guns to engage in a near-massacre-like confrontation with the Babuzabu bandit cavalry, and with the popularity of the Fengjun carbine, the Fengjun cavalry has given up on the tactics of using cold weapons to engage in large-scale armed battles - hot |In the age of weapons, horseback fighting, which reflects men's bravery, is basically no longer the main thing.?The tactics demanded it.
No matter how strong the arm is, a warrior can be killed with one shot.
"The Asian Cavalry Division is far behind the times. They are still stuck to the traditional invincible tactics of the Cossack cavalry. They want to have a battle with the Chinese army in a balance of power that is favorable to them.
In fact, the most important thing is that the Fengjun troops are not short of money, especially in the configuration of life-threatening firepower, Zhang Hanqing is willing to invest. Carbine guns are just a handful. On the surface, they cost a lot more bullets than rifles. However, in a cavalry confrontation, proactive fire suppression can save many lives. No matter how you calculate it, this is a good deal.
After basically dumping the bullets in the gun chamber, the two sides were close, and some people had already lost their bodies, and there was no time to change the magazine. At this time, the well-trained training of Zhang Zongchang's army was also reflected: they resolutely threw away their smoking carbines, drew their sabers, and rushed towards the sparse opponent's camp.
That’s right, the cavalrymen in front of the Asian Cavalry Division were almost stunned by this rain of rapid fire. I wonder how many people were shot and killed, hundreds or thousands? Anyway, the excitement that was just there was suddenly extinguished.
But when faced with the shining sabers of the Chinese army, their bloodiness was also aroused, regardless of the countless fallen comrades around them. Fengjun's firepower just now was too fierce, and it was a fluke that they were not killed.
But as long as they don't die, they all believe that victory will belong to them. As long as they meet at close range, countless opponents will flee, as history has proven.
Fighting nations have martial genes in their blood. The Cossack cavalry is invincible in Central Asia. They even broke into the tent of the once invincible Mongols. In terms of diet, they eat bread and butter, which is generally higher in nutrients than the Chinese. They are tall and strong, and have the upper hand in physical strength. In this life-and-death confrontation, they had the advantage, as long as the Chinese did not use carbines but dueled gentlemanly.
Now it is no longer possible to make cold shots. Countless sabers were raised, and the two groups of men and horses were entangled. The Cossack cavalry on both wings looked at the layers of people on the one-mile-long battle line in the middle in surprise. All they heard were the collision of steel, the neighing of war horses, the angry shouts of soldiers, and the groans of the wounded.
The Belarusian bandits were tall and physically superior, but they suffered heavy casualties due to the previous fire attack. In addition, the Northeast Mixed Brigade used its main force to bloom in the center, so both sides also dispatched a regiment. Zhang Zongchang's number of people per unit area was much larger, forming a situation where more people fought less. Soon, the vanguard cavalry regiment of the White Army was in danger of being eaten up by the force.
"They are not humans, they are devils!" Baron Wen Ganlun looked at the performance of the Chinese army on the opposite side in surprise. Where did this cavalry unit come from? So fierce and able to fight! His elite cavalry regiment was severely damaged in almost a few minutes, and he had not had time to mobilize the supporting troops on both wings!
The injured and ownerless horses were neighing, and the dead were long gone. The wailing of the wounded, the occasional knocks of horses and sporadic gunshots on the battlefield told people that the battle just now was over.
In the first battle, the Asian Cavalry Division was defeated!
Seeing the cavalry on the opposite side gathering for the second time, Wen Ganlun knew he could not wait any longer. He still has a second echelon of troops in his hand, which are ready to be used to counter the breakthrough, and now they need to be filled. Otherwise, the Fengjun army, which is on the verge of a great victory, will eat up its cavalry on the Mongolian grassland until not even the residue is left!
He made a gesture to Zulexin, who immediately ordered the cavalry on both wings to cover the center.
Zhang Zongchang was unhurried. Although he had fewer people on both wings, his equipment was the same. The firepower of the carbine could completely offset this disadvantage. His tactical requirement is to continue to break through from the middle, to defeat the main force of the Belarusian bandit army from the front, and to defeat them from the will. So when he saw the opponent's actions, he did not consider adding more troops to the two wings. Instead, he loudly ordered: "Pyotr Gorbsky, it's your turn! After this battle, I will promote you to colonel!"
Peter Gorbsky is a master of sneak attacks. Like a wolf, he is good at seizing even the slightest opportunity on the battlefield. His independent cavalry regiment is composed of homeless middle-class Belarusians who are not afraid of death and have a strong desire to fight. , and have been eager to try it for a long time. He is the commander-in-chief of Zhang Zongchang's independent cavalry regiment. This unit is also the real elite of the Northeast Mixed Brigade, half of which are Russians.
Because the two sides were intertwined, the Chinese cavalry company lost the opportunity to continue to use firepower to open the way, but this was not a problem at all for Peter Gorbsky. Also as a Cossack cavalryman, he expected to defeat the enemy with his saber rather than his carbine. Although there are many people on the opposite side, this will never make him timid.
After receiving Zhang Zongchang's order, he quickly issued an order, asking the cavalry of the regiment's five battalions to concentrate their strength and continue to crash into the opponent's center in batches. As long as a bloody path is created, it means that the opponent will be cut into two pieces, and there will be a decision-making advantage in the subsequent cavalry battle.
There is not much difference in this confrontation. They have the same culture and race. They are all warriors among the Cossacks, but each has his own master. It is like the epitome of the Russian Civil War. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Cavalry will have a decision-making advantage in combat.

Chapter 489 The moment to witness a miracle
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
As a Cossack warrior who experienced the Russian Civil War and escaped with a narrow escape, Andrei participated in this battle that was the most difficult since he joined the army. Its name means "brave" in Russian, and he has always regarded bravery as an essential quality for soldiers. However, when facing countless former compatriots who were not afraid of death and did not care about the cost, they still showed a hint of timidity.
The enemy ignored the threats from the left and right and insisted on breaking through from the center, which suddenly turned the battle into a whiteout. Both sides are attacking and saving what they need, and they will not give up even if there is a glimmer of hope. Therefore, this round of duel is even more cruel than the firepower unleashed by bullets and bullets just now. There are sabers waving in all directions, and if you are not careful, you will be stabbed by the sharp blades that come from nowhere. Even the legendary knights cannot use them calmly among thousands of troops.
No tricks are needed, just raise the saber high and chop it down hard. If it is powerful, it can knock the enemy's weapon away and then kill the enemy, or conversely, the enemy can knock him off his horse. Here, killing and being killed are equally simple and neat.
Most of the people fighting are Russians, you can tell by looking at their posture, but why do these people help the yellow people to deal with the noble white people? You can’t forget your ancestors just for money! Several times, Andrei almost recognized the wrong person, if it were not for the fact that the White Russian troops on the Chinese side were wearing fat Chinese military uniforms.
Having killed two opponents, Andre has risen. Among the two men, one was almost split in half from the neck to the ribs by his quick diagonal chop. The raised saber was still in the air and he had no time to resist; the other was knocked away by his three consecutive hard blows. After using the weapon, he was cut on the cheek and died. The death was very tragic.
However, when he was fighting against his third opponent, he was struck by several powerful and heavy chops that made his arm numb. I knew it was because I had used so much force when I was cutting someone and didn't have time to rest. At this fatal moment, I happened to meet a strong man. This is the rhythm of God's death.
Instinctively, he walked sideways to avoid the sharp edge, but unexpectedly, the leg of the horse under his seat was disturbed by the dead body on the ground. A stagger caused his center of gravity to fall towards the horse's head. He instinctively reached out to grab the reins to avoid falling off the horse, but he was panicking. Resistance is ignored. Almost at this moment, the opponent's saber had already struck. At this time, Andre's body was already leaning towards his opponent, and he could not avoid it as flexibly on the horse as he could on the ground. He could only watch a white light flash towards the back of his head, sit on the horse and wait for death.
"ah"! He screamed instinctively, but he didn't feel any pain on his body, and then he realized that he was fine. After calming down, I found that my opponent was still trying to chop, but he would never be able to chop down.
A saber penetrated from his back to his chest. It turned out that a cavalryman on the side saw that he was in danger and attacked him from the side at the moment when the opponent was wielding his saber and saved his life. Before he had time to say thank you, that teammate was killed by the enemy opposite him.
Andrei had no chance to grieve, because another opponent immediately filled the hole of his comrade, another strong White Russian soldier.
This time there was no such good opportunity. After struggling to resist seven or eight blows, Andre was stabbed in the lower abdomen by the White Russian soldier and fell to the ground. At the moment of his death, he murmured his grief in Cossack, which translated into a famous Chinese poem:
"We are born from the same roots, so why rush to fight each other!"
The same scene is happening everywhere. Either I kill you, or you kill him, and then he kills me again. Everyone used all their strength to protect themselves and kill others, and the battlefield was filled with the pungent smell of blood. Looking around, there are only broken military flags, old horses without riders, and endless killings that still have a trace of strength reflected in the setting sun.
It’s getting late. Zhang Zongchang, who was watching the battle calmly, calmly calculated the trend of the battlefield. He didn't pay attention to the thousands of corpses piled high on both sides, and he didn't seem to hear the wails of countless wounded soldiers. In Mongolia, where medical conditions were extremely poor, the pain suffered by the seriously wounded was far worse than dying in battle.
A cavalry duel with cold weapons requires a lot of energy. As the intensity of the battle becomes more and more intense, both sides are exhausted. Whoever can survive to the end will have the last laugh. Wen Ganlun never thought that there would be such a cavalry in the hinterland of Mongolia that could dare to fight them head-on. His understanding of the People's Army became stronger, although his understanding was just a misunderstanding.
Although the Northeastern Mixed Brigade comes from the Northeast, it is not affiliated with the Northeastern Army. Just like it is also known as the "Northeast Volunteer Army" but has no connection with the "Volunteer Army" at all.
The Asian Cavalry Division is considered useless. The two established cavalry regiments were beaten to pieces by themselves, and the troops on both wings were also killed by their own officers and soldiers.It was unable to provide effective support to its center due to its resistance. Now, it's time to send out your own fresh troops for the final decisive battle.
"Danaev, it's your turn!" He issued the final attack order to his guard captain, who was also a Cossack knight and led the most elite guard of one hundred people. This small number of people is of no use at all in the crowd at the beginning of the war, but it has a very different effect when both sides are at the end of the war.
Danayev is as rude as Zhang Zongchang, but has a much stronger body. He has always had a blind obedience to Zhang Zongchang, so he is very popular with Zhang Zongchang. His guards were carefully selected from thousands of troops. They were all good combatants and were always used as a decisive force. Now, it's the most critical time.
In ancient times, Gan Ning defeated Cao Ying with a hundred cavalry, but Danaev was even more destructive. When they shouted and charged directly at the two regiments of the Asian Cavalry Division, which had been hit hard, the opponent had no strength to mount any organized resistance, so that even Wen Ganlun and Lie Zuxin had to be protected by several guards. Escape.
Not only that, this cavalry detachment also went around to the opponent's left wing and stepped on the already beaten attack line.
At this time, the Asian Cavalry Division, which had no organic resistance and had lost two generals, had no desire to fight. In the few years of fighting with the Soviet Red Army, they had lost the concept of a country, lost the meaning of fighting, and were completely reduced to a mercenary force. When things go smoothly, they will be unstoppable, but once they are defeated, they lose their will faster than anyone else.
Zhang Hanqing, who was far away in the ancient city of Xi'an, was always paying attention to the war situation in Mongolia. He was constantly urging reinforcements from all walks of life to enter Mongolia as soon as possible to form an encirclement to prevent the war from spreading to the northwest. Suddenly he received a telegram that surprised him: "Our army launched an attack on Mongolia in November. On the 18th, the Asian Cavalry Division was defeated, killing and wounding more than 6,000 people, and captured 3,000 people. Only the bandit leader Wen Ganlun and others led the remnants of nearly a hundred people to flee to western Inner Mongolia. Zhang Zongchang." (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com

"I'm dizzy, how could this be? It's incredible!"
The senior officials of the Northwest People's Army Headquarters all shared the same surprise and emotion as Zhang Hanqing. They are all from the Northeast and are very aware of the influence of the Asian Cavalry Division on the Siberian Plateau: they are a group of veterans who do not know what death is, are familiar with the climate and environment of the Mongolian Plateau, have received strict military training, and have long-term battlefield experience. They are extremely difficult to deal with. . Otherwise, with Soviet Russia's strength several times that of Russia in the Far East, there would not be anything that could be done against them for a while.
In the original deployment, the 4th and 26th Cavalry Divisions of the People's Army and the Northeastern Fengjun Army plus the main force of the elite 1st Division were required to have a decisive battle with them, but he was not sure yet. Win a big victory and prepare for a long-term battle. Now, this important force active in Mongolia, northern Liaoning and northern Heilongjiang has been wiped out by Zhang Zongchang, who is looked down upon by everyone. I don’t know if the opponent’s combat effectiveness has declined, or if Zhang Zongchang is like a god of help?
There was no time to admire, and the staff immediately began to study the post-war trend. Scattered news from the intelligence agency shows that Wen Ganlun and his party have now penetrated deep into western Mongolia. It is said that they have received help from the Mongolian gangs Bashichi, Kegorodov, and Kazantsev who have been entrenched here for many years, and they are trying to regroup and make a comeback.
Should we assemble heavy troops and conduct another expedition against them? But on the desolate Mongolian plateau, no one is sure that they will be able to find each other. Even if they could be found, there were too many directions for the White Russian bandits to escape in Mengxi, where there were basically no roads. With Wen Ganlun's cunning, once the troops are divided, it is difficult to avoid falling into an attack. He can use a large force to pursue this small group of elite (can escape from Zhang Zongchang's hands, is it considered elite?) cavalry troops. When will such a pursuit end?
Having already escaped, there is no point in regretting it. Mongolia still has to deal with the aftermath.
Basically, the problem in the north was solved once and for all, and the stone in Zhang Hanqing's heart fell to the ground. As long as he does not faint, there is no source of chaos in Mongolia now, and no matter how strong the Soviet Union is, it has no reason to interfere in China's internal affairs unless it wants to invade.
Rewards for merit. After Zhang Zongchang's victory, Zhang Hanqing was finally moved by his efforts. Not only did he send a call to praise the achievements of the Northeast Mixed Brigade, but he also personally agreed with Zhang Zongchang to take the captured White Russian cavalry, including those who had been treated, under his command, and named them "White Russian cavalry". Corps", with Zhang Zongchang as its commander, finally had a formal establishment.
Although Zhang Zongchang's troops also suffered heavy losses, they also received an unexpected surprise. According to the habit of these White Russian soldiers, whoever has breasts is a mother, and coupled with his long-term experience in dealing with the White Russians, they do not care about loyalty, and betray only because the chips of loyalty are too low. With no one in China or Russia to take them in, the desperate White Russian army followed Zhang Zongchang as the best way out.
At the same time, in view of Li Du's effective command in the sniper battle in Buying City, Zhang Hanqing decided to promote him to the division commander of the 26th Cavalry Division stationed in Mongolia, commanding all the Mongolian People's Army including the Tangnu Ulianghai garrison and the security forces of major cities.
What to do with the defeated bandits? Of course we have to pursue the victory. Do we want them to create a situation that threatens Mongolia's stability again? Although it will be difficult for the other party to form a fire in the foreseeable future, no one wants to have a thorn pricking them from time to time, right? What to do?
Zhang Zongchang, who was in high spirits, first asked for help. He said in a telegram to Zhang Hanqing: "We have assembled 500 brave warriors for this battle. We will attack and march against the White Russian bandit army in three directions. We must eliminate their effective strength. Make new achievements.”
Not to be outdone, Li Du also called back and said that he would deploy an infantry and cavalry army to suppress the bandits in the west. The general policy was to use the mobility of the cavalry to continuously defeat the bandits, and then use infantry to guard point by point, step by step to compress the strategic space of the bandits. Accumulate small victories into big victories, and finally strive to annihilate them in one battle.
Both options have gained a group of fans, but both think they have little chance of winning or are time-consuming and labor-intensive. They were all senior officials of the Northwest People's Army. They knew that Zhang Hanqing was already preparing for a big game, and they did not allow any more time to be spent with this bandit army.
But the bandit rebellion in western Inner Mongolia has been accumulated for decades. How can there be such a good way to eliminate it in a short period of time? Moreover, in the vast Gobi Desert in western Mongolia, because large troops cannot be used, if they fight horse bandits who are familiar with the local conditions, as long as the other party launches guerrilla warfare, they will be exhausted sooner or later.
I’m afraid this is also a wishful thinking of Wen Ganlun and others, who want to make a comeback through the precious land of Mengxi.
Several years of military career have allowed Zhang Hanqing to transform from an armchair "strategist" to an excellent frontline commander. Under the baptism of leading troops on the front line for a long time, the various theories in his mind have also been sublimated. Strategy and tactics complement each other, and he is called a genius in leading troops by his subordinates.
??For example, he treated Han Linchun, Ji Yiqiao, and Xu Lanzhoubattle! "
Reorganizing while marching, the entire "White Russian Army" began a chaotic but orderly expedition. According to the "leapfrog" tactics proposed by Zhang Hanqing, this vigorous army selected a cavalry unit to go deep into western Inner Mongolia and carried out effective attacks on the local bandits entrenched in various small towns. Even if the troops are divided, they are much stronger in terms of numbers and force than the gangs entrenched in various places. Therefore, they are as strong as the traditional Mongolian gangs such as Bashichi, Kegorodov, and Kazantsev, and as cunning as the foreign gangs such as Wen Ganlun. They all have to avoid its edge. After learning that the "White Russian Army" was going to encircle a large encirclement to decide the outcome, the bandits all wisely chose to jump out of this encirclement.
With the assistance of Tangnu Ulianghai garrison, the bandits were driven to southwestern Inner Mongolia. The important towns of Ulyasutai and Khovd in western Mongolia were recovered in a complete sense, and a stable Mongolia has emerged. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 491 Black Lama
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Various information indicates that the main factors threatening Mongolia’s security have been overcome. The important military tasks at this stage are: first, to block the passage for the remnants of the White Army to return to Mongolia and consolidate the fruits of victory in the Mongolian Campaign; second, to set up defense lines in Xinjiang, Gansu, Suiyuan, and Ningxia to firmly trap them in this so-called Within the 800-kilometer "Black Gobi" area, and then wait for opportunities to eliminate them.
As for completely annihilating the bandit leader headed by Wen Ganlun, it is not too urgent. In southwestern Mongolia, where living conditions are extremely poor, the harsh natural environment alone is already their natural enemy without sending troops.
The Black Gobi is a very important geographical area in history. Its scope includes the west of the Ejina River in Inner Mongolia, the south of the Aji Mountains on the border between China and Mongolia, the north of the piedmont alluvial fan of the Qilian Mountains, and the east of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang. The area is larger than several provinces in the mainland, but it has not been settled for a long time.
This place is right at the throat of the "Grassland Silk Road" entering and exiting Xinjiang, but the transportation conditions are also difficult. The Northwest People's Army Staff Headquarters is still discussing whether the main force will send troops here next.
Zhang Hanqing is still very hesitant about entering Xinjiang now. First, the current strength of the People's Army is not suitable for dispersing troops: Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated, making it easy to enter and difficult to control. It cannot occupy the territory without tens of thousands of people. For example, in history, the People's Liberation Army entered Xinjiang with an army of 100,000. At present, the only troops closest to him are the 1st Division guarding Gansu and the 3rd Division guarding Ningxia.
Second, Yang Zengxin in Xinjiang at least obeys the orders of the Feng faction on the surface, and he can also effectively control the situation in Xinjiang. If the People's Army enters Xinjiang, how can the relationship between the two parties be ensured? He regarded this place as a stable rear area; another important factor was that Xinjiang was relatively poor in the country at that time. How could the troops entering Xinjiang be supplied? In history, there was the famous "Silk Road" from Gansu to Xinjiang. However, this road was not like the relatively convenient railways and highways built in later generations. It was all carried by people on the shoulders. Is this to strengthen the will of the People's Army?
Third, among the limited troops stationed in Shaanxi, the 6th Division is controlled by "outsiders", and the 2nd Division has to play a supervisory role; the 5th Division is Xu Lanzhou's old base, mixed with several miscellaneous troops at the beginning, and the reorganization has not been completed. In progress; the only mobile unit is the 4th Cavalry Division, which is also responsible for suppressing Feng Yuxiang, Wu Peifu and other troops.
But a few days later, new news came, and Zhang Hanqing finally made a decision: to enter Xinjiang.
Because according to Yang Zengxin’s report, the Belarusian bandit leader Wen Ganlun, who was defeated by Zhang Zongchang, also joined forces with the Black Lama with the help of the Mengxi bandits, and his momentum was greatly increased. The black lama who has been causing trouble to the northwest for many years has reappeared, gathering thousands of followers in the Black Gobi and threatening Mingshui. This has increased the pressure on Xinjiang to deploy defenses. People on the "Silk Road" are also panicked, and there is a risk of traffic interruption.
Who is the Black Lama? It actually has such magic power?
Speaking of this black lama, everyone in China in Xinjiang, Gansu, and Mongolia during the Republic of China knew it. His real name is Danbigasan, a member of the Oirat Dulbert tribe of Russia and a member of the Kalmyk Mongols. He was imprisoned by the Tsar for participating in the "December Party" activities in his early years, but he successfully escaped and hid far away in Tibet to study esoteric teachings, claiming to have acquired superb magical powers. His name itself is a mystery. Herders call him "Big Head Lama", and the most common name is "Fake Lama".
During the six years from the Revolution of 1911 to the Russian October Revolution, the Outer Mongolian regime accelerated its move away from China with the support of Tsarist Russia. At this time, the Black Lama became the vanguard. As the supreme commander of the Mongolian army, he led his troops to attack the city of Khovd, which is adjacent to Xinjiang. After capturing this important town in the west, he drove out all the non-Mongolian residents in the city. Because of his great contribution in "liberating" Kobdo, Living Buddha Jebtsundamba gave him the title of Hutuktu, so he had high prestige and claimed to be the incarnation of the god Amursana.
After Zhang Hanqing entered Mongolia, the Living Buddha Jebtsundamba was finally beheaded, and a large number of dissident Mongolian upper-level officials were executed, the black lama led his tribe out of the border mountains between China and Mongolia and came to the Black Gobi. All kinds of people who could not gain a foothold in Outer Mongolia followed him here, and for a time 500 tents were stationed here.
The Black Lama took over Mazong Mountain as his queen, robbed passing caravans here, and worked hard to build a huge group of fortresses. Because of the divine light of a certain kind of Buddha and his cruel nature, he was regarded as a savage beast by the people in Anxi, Ejina, and Hami areas, and they respected and feared him. Until the liberation of the official history, the residents of the mountain villages in the northeast of Hami did not scare their children by saying "the wolf is coming", but said "the black lama is coming". In this hinterland of Asia, far away from the ocean, in this grassland and desert several times larger than the whole of Europe, a loaded pistol and an elite infantry division can have the same deterrent effect.
Not only Xinjiang, but also countries and regions including Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Mongolia, and Soviet Russia in official history, their government agencies have sent troops to kill him and sent people to assassinate him.?He, none of them succeeded. In the hearts of herdsmen, the Black Lama is an evil god who is both respected and feared.
There was once such a saying. The Black Lama is the secret in everyone's heart that they dare not say out loud, yet everyone wants to say. It is said that the Black Lama often sneaks into the tents of his subordinates unnoticed in the middle of the night to observe their movements. In his heart, everyone is an enemy except himself.
Now, this place has become a poisonous thorn on the "Silk Road" between Gansu and Xinjiang, and Zhang Hanqing had to pull it out. Because in his strategy, Xinjiang is the frontline for the Northwest People's Army to obtain help from the Soviet Union. Compared with the Trans-Siberian Railway, which was constantly disturbed by the White Army, entering China from Xinjiang is relatively safe and effective, and it is also a line in official history. important strategic channel.
In order to reduce Yang Zengxin's suspicions as much as possible, Zhang Hanqing sent him a message: "The Mongolian gangs, the remnants of White Russians and the black lamas have joined forces. There is a serious threat to Xinjiang and blocking our road from Gansu to Xinjiang. Please send troops to eradicate this place immediately, Governor Yang." It is also the duty of local guardians to keep our border areas peaceful by eliminating banditry."
"It's not that I want to enter Xinjiang, but the banditry here is too serious. If you can't eliminate it, I'm sorry, but it is natural for the People's Army to enter Xinjiang." Of course, he knew that Yang Zengxin was unable to eliminate them. Although the Black Lama was unable to succeed despite Yang Zengxin's desperate resistance when he attacked the Altay area, due to the lack of troops, Yang Zengxin did not have the strength to destroy him, so he took a defensive stance. Just because there were not many channels to enter Xinjiang, especially after Yang Zengxin established a more complete military castle in Mingshui, the two sides formed a confrontation. Although the Black Lama is good at fighting, he has never been able to break through.
To break the deadlock unilaterally, Yang Zengxin did not have the strength and courage, so he would definitely ask for help, and Zhang Hanqing could naturally march into Xinjiang. Therefore, while generating electricity, he mobilized the elite 2nd Division and 4th Cavalry Division to go north to annihilate the bandit army with powerful means and take advantage of the situation to bring Xinjiang under his command.

It has snowed more than once in Dihua (Urumqi). The cold winter here has prevented the heavy snowfalls from melting. Thick snowdrifts are everywhere, and the entire city is shrouded in snow.
As the ruler who has controlled Xinjiang for more than ten years, Yang Zengxin has gone from governor to governor to military governor. His titles have been constantly changed with the changes in national power, but his reputation as the king of the northwest cannot be replaced by anyone.
To be honest, in terms of merits and demerits, he maintained stability in Xinjiang during the political turmoil around the early years of the Republic of China. Considering that Xinjiang's geographical location has made it a target of aggression between Britain and Russia since the late Qing Dynasty, and considering that Mongolia was later drawn out of the territory of the Republic of China, under the circumstances at that time, he made considerable contributions to maintaining the territorial integrity of Xinjiang. It deserves a page in history.
At this time, in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, there were many people of all kinds sitting around, listening to a speech by a man who was foaming at the mouth.
"We in Xinjiang have not been affected by the change of central government since the late Qing Dynasty: when the dynasty changed, we listened to President Yuan Da, and later listened to President Li and President Xu. After listening, when it comes to specific matters, it is still us. It has the final say. The Russians and the British have not gotten any favors from us, so why can a young boy give orders to the governor! When it comes to suppressing bandits, the White Russian army was defeated by us, and the Black Lama was blocked by us in the east. Outside of the Pass (Hami), we have fulfilled our duty to defend the territory. As for the rest, that is what the central government should do! Anyway, we are incapable of leaving the Pass to fight."
The person who spoke was Jin Shuren, the Chief of Government Affairs Department. He was a ruthless character. Yang Zengxin was able to securely sit on the throne of military governor because of his help.
Jin Shuren’s words spoke to Yang Zengxin’s psychology. He was not a master willing to stay under others for a long time. Of course, he has been able to sit firmly in Xinjiang for decades, and he has his own tricks. His military achievements are worth recalling again and again.
After the "February Revolution" and "October Revolution" in Russia in 1917, the tribes in Central Asia that originally belonged to the Romanov dynasty of Tsarist Russia fell into a state of anarchy. About 300,000 Kazakh and Kyrgyz refugees have flowed into Xinjiang. In addition, a large number of fleeing White Russians entered Xinjiang to avoid the pursuit of the Red Army, numbering as many as 50,000. These soldiers are brutal in nature, well-equipped, dare to fight and kill, and commit all kinds of evil.
Yang Zengxin realized that "Although the White Russian forces were not enough to resist Soviet Russia, they were more than enough to disrupt Xinjiang." But how could he be the husband of Feng He, a violent tiger? He adopted various tactics to defeat him, trying to get the most stubborn General Alenkov to become addicted to opium, destroy his fighting spirit, and win without a fight; for the others, he entertained them with songs, dances, and fine wines, and unknowingly let them down All disarmed. General Yang's gentle sword is really powerful!
If we say that for the overwhelmingly numerous White Russians, Yang Zengxin lured the enemy in, closed the door and beat the dogs; but for the "black lama" Danbijia, Yang Zengxin was not so polite. This Gobi hero who became famous after capturing Khovd, was later captured by Tsarist Russia and exiled to Astrakhan, took advantage of the turmoil in Russia to escape back. When he asked Yang Zengxin for political asylum, Yang Zengxin refused almost without thinking.
“ Allowing Danbijia to enter the country is tantamount to raising tigers, and it is impossible for Yang Zengxin not to understand this. At the same time, he issued an urgent secret order to the Eastern Xinjiang Border Guard (Hami), strictly ordering that the door for "black lamas" to enter Xinjiang westward must be secured. In the end, Danbijia participated in the whole life and was unable to enter Xinjiang. This is his contribution.
Now, Zhang Hanqing wants them to send troops to suppress the bandits, which is beyond their capabilities. In the past, they could just say "powerless to attack" with a stroke of a pen, but now they are facing Zhang Hanqing, and they have to be cautious.
He is the young commander of the Northeastern Army, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest People's Army, the patrol envoy to Shaanxi and Gansu and the governor of Gansu. He has just pacified Mongolia, defeated the Eighth Route Army in Gansu, Ningxia, and Qinghai, and made all the warlords retreat without success in Shaanxi, including Wu Peifu. It is when you are young and famous, and you are full of ambitions, you have to pay attention.
“ Moreover, his father Zhang Zuolin also served as the Mongolian Economic and Strategic Envoy, and was nominally Yang Zengxin’s boss.
Yang Zengxin had 10,000 objections to leaving the border to fight. Even if Zhang Zuolin came in person, he would still have a lot to say. If you are not strong enough, that is the best bet. But for Zhang Hanqing, he was still careful.
"After the disarmament of the Xinjiang provinces, it is difficult to stick to one province, but it is insufficient to send troops abroad. The young commander has strong soldiers and strong ambitions to reach the northwest. This is a blessing for the people but a loss for the bandits. If he is young, The commander-in-chief personally visited the enemy, and Yang is willing to collect food and fodder for his attack, so that the commander-in-chief will not have any logistical worries." This was the message that Yang Zengxin had been thinking about for a long time before replying.
Zhang Hanqing knows a lot about Yang Zengxin. He is a very complicated person.
He has the means to govern Xinjiang. In terms of domestic affairs, Yang Zengxin implemented Lao Tzu's ""Government by doing" and the belief that "unruly people grow up to be ancient people". Some political and financial reforms have been made, including more efficient adjustments to the organizational structure, making it easier for Xinjiang to be controlled by Dihua. In addition, rectification of officialdom and crackdown on excessive , rewarded land reclamation, greatly increased fiscal revenue, implemented disarmament, and maintained a long period of stability and peace. However, Yang Zengxin made less achievements in economic and cultural aspects. Although Xinjiang was able to maintain stability and was loved by many local people, Lack of modernization and development.
In terms of ethnic and religious policies, he adopted a policy of containment to prevent unrest. On the one hand, it seeks to win over and support the upper-class princes of various ethnic groups, and to keep the various groups in check with each other, and also try to keep them in check among ethnic minorities and Hui Han; in terms of religion, the principle of non-interference in general religious activities is followed, but The government has strengthened the management of mosques and Islamic colleges in the hope of maintaining the status quo of local Islam, using religion to assist in the maintenance of social order, and preventing the influence of external religious forces.
Externally, he has repeatedly fought for rights from Russia and Britain, including protecting overseas Chinese in Russia and requiring British and Russian businessmen to pay taxes. He can be regarded as a promising warlord.
Overall, in terms of merit, his merits outweigh his faults. Therefore, no matter how the central government changes, they have not intervened in Xinjiang affairs. This is of course due to the fact that it is too far away, but also because of its great prestige. A rash replacement may cause instability on the border. This has also caused him to become a de facto separatist force, speculative in the current overt and covert struggles between the various factions in the central government.
“However, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks, they are no match for absolute strength. Once Zhang Hanqing decided to send troops to Xinjiang, all his rhetoric seemed so ridiculous for this purpose. Almost at the same time as receiving the telegram, Zhang Hanqing sent a second telegram:
"Since it is inconvenient for Governor Yang to mobilize troops, Xueliang will not force others to do anything. He will personally lead two divisions to suppress the bandits. However, transportation in the northwest is inconvenient, and logistical supplies really require Governor Yang's strong support. Governor Yang understands the righteousness so well, I have a lot of admiration for the scholar. The 'Silk Road' has become smooth again, and Governor Yang's achievements are comparable to those of Duke Zuo Wenxiang."
Yang Zengxin was not at all happy about being praised. Zuo Zongtang’s great contribution was to regain Xinjiang. This metaphor of the young marshal is very meaningful! Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing only asked for logistical supplies during the suppression of bandits. As long as his ambition was not in Xinjiang, this request could be met in any case. Therefore, Yang Zengxin sent a telegram to the Hami garrison: "Prepare sufficient food and fodder for Fengjun, but he is not allowed to enter the customs without permission."

Chapter 493 The Eve of the Decisive Battle

Willing or not, the Northwest People's Army has sent troops.
The cold winter exacerbated the difficulties of marching and the disadvantages of logistical support. Zhang Hanqing and General Logistics Minister Mi Chunlin agreed on three supply routes: purchasing military rations from Hexi in Gansu, going out of Jiayuguan and passing through Yumen; the second is from Baotou and Guihua via the Mongolian grassland to the ancient city in eastern Xinjiang; the third is from Yang Zengxin's supplies in Eastern Xinjiang were supplemented.
Considering that the strength of the People's Army is too disparate compared to that of the bandits, Yang Zengxin is only acting as a separatist regime but still obeys the Central Committee in name, and there are still many things to do in the heart of the Central Plains, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so this battle The strategy is "rapid advance and quick decision".
??????????????????? Defeat the bandit army with overwhelming force, and then approach the city to ask Yang Zengxin to give in. This trip will be considered a success. After a military order, the first part of the 2nd Division stationed in Jiuquan has already set off. The main force behind it is still in Lanzhou, and the 4th Cavalry Division is still far away in northern Shaanxi.
It’s not Zhang Hanqing’s fault, it’s just knowing yourself and the enemy. There are less than 300 remnants of the Asian Cavalry Division, plus 100 Mongolian bandits and about 500 people following the Black Lama, the total number is less than 1,000.
The combat effectiveness of the Belarusian army is okay, but the Mongolian bandit gangs are still able to harass the herdsmen, but they are completely inferior when fighting the regular army - just think about the desolation of the regular Mongolian army during the Anmeng period. Although the Black Lama's army has never fought against each other, considering that without heavy weapons, they were unable to defeat the Xinjiang garrison. What will their combat effectiveness be like?
Because the Central Investigation Department has sufficient funds, its penetration speed far exceeds the march of the army, and it has already penetrated every corner of this area. Although the situation of the Black Lama is still difficult to figure out for the time being, other peripheral information still prevents the People's Army General Staff from being blinded.
It is said that after the three forces of the White Russian remnant, the Mengxi gang and the Black Lama came together, the Mengxi gang quickly turned to the Black Lama. After all, he is an influential god. But the White Russian army doesn't think so. How can you, a Mongolian god, control foreign dissident believers?
At this time, on Mazong Mountain, the black lama’s face was covered with dark clouds. Beside him, there were all kinds of subordinate leaders gathered in the meeting hall of this heavily guarded carved castle.
No matter how mysterious and divine he was, after Jebdan Zumba was shot to death, the aura of apotheosis surrounding him was greatly stripped away. His "deification" was given by Jebutan Zumba. Now the canonized god has passed away. Although he has repeatedly claimed that he has inherited the mantle of Jebutan Zumba, it is still a bit sad.
The defeated White Russians traveled thousands of miles to come to surrender. Although it caused some commotion among his followers, it was positive at least, indicating that his divine light had affected foreign countries.
But what followed was the Northwest People's Army. From the White Russians' words, he knew that this was a very powerful army: the most outstanding Asian cavalry division on the grassland was defeated and sold to the city, and then was defeated by an unknown miscellaneous army. The whole army was almost wiped out. It is said that it is an army that no one in Fengjun wants. Now, a regular army has moved out of Jiayuguan, and his army is facing a test.
Speaking of an army, he himself knew that this was a group of ferocious rabble who were not afraid of death but had no skills or tactics. They relied on their bravery. When fighting a regular army, unless it is an army that has never seen the world like the former Mongolian local security army, it will definitely lose. He witnessed with his own eyes the scene where the Anmon army entered Cullen. When the Anmeng army entered the city during a military parade, he hid in the crowd.
I heard that the current equipment of the People's Army is better than that of the Anmeng Army. After years of baptism on the battlefield, their combat effectiveness has become stronger. Such an army cannot be improved at all. At the beginning, he could not even defeat the Xinjiang army.
Although there was only one unit of the 2nd Division of the People's Army stationed in Jiuquan, he still did not dare to underestimate the 600-man battalion. Of course, he was still angry because he heard that the People's Army dispatched two divisions, but they dared to fight him with 600 people. This was a contempt for his authority. He asked Wen Ganlun: "Your Excellency, Baron, is that army really that powerful?"
Wen Ganlun was the only one who had ever fought against the People's Army. He rolled his eyes and said in blunt Mongolian: "The Fengjun army is capable of defending the city, and it is also very capable of fighting in the wild because of their firepower. Too strong." Looking at the uncertain expressions of the people present, he added: "I just don't know how capable they are of attacking the enemy? If they can't hold it, should we make the next step and attack Xinjiang, which is weakly defended by the Chinese army? What about marching forward?”
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the city of Merchant, he was driven out to Uliasoutai, then to Kobudo, and then to Mazong Mountain, not far away, he was almost chased and beaten by Zhang Zongchang. The "White Russian Corps"'s leap-frog tactics were so bad that he and a group of men from the Mengxi Gang did not dare to stay in a certain place for too long, because the "White Russian Corps" was playing a huge game of chess.A large detour is often carried out hundreds of miles away from them, making it difficult for people to guard against it. These former comrades, after transforming into the Chinese army, gave full play to their bad nature. They often used superior forces to occupy surrounding strategic areas and sent people to operate them like bunkers, forming a network between them.
With the large number of people, each bunker has at least dozens of soldiers, plus at least one machine gun. This strength is insufficient for offense but sufficient for self-protection. The key is that they all occupy key roads, often controlling waterways and land passages, making it difficult for bandits to move smoothly and completely cutting off supplies. In addition, in larger towns, troops are usually stationed in reinforced companies, which serve as logistics bases to store large amounts of supplies. On the unobstructed view of the Mongolian plateau, attacking or even sneak attacking such a castle is much more difficult than the original attack on the trading city.
At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the "White Russian Legion" of the brigade used battalions as units to kill in batches within these grids. Since it can easily obtain its own supplies along the way, it can basically advance lightly, which increases its mobility advantage. If the surrounded bandit army cannot escape as soon as possible, they will be in dire straits and be annihilated.
Therefore, Wen Ganlun and others, who originally planned to take advantage of the geographical convenience to fight guerrillas in Mongolia, were disappointed. There was a lot of noise along the way, and they were afraid that the damn "leapfrog" would get ahead of them. Who would really have the patience to fight? Guerrilla? It took half a month to go around in circles at first, but often the day the vanguard of the "White Russian Corps" arrived, it was the time when the bandits continued to flee westward.
Fortunately, the Black Lama finally took them in. When he said that everyone was driven out by the young marshal's army, he couldn't help but sigh, "We are all from the same place in the world, so why should we have known each other before." However, Wen Ganlun is not destined to be someone who is willing to become a bandit. The vast Xinjiang is very close to Kazakhstan. If we use Xinjiang as a base, we can be self-sufficient and strong when we retreat, and directly threaten the southern border of Soviet Russia when we advance. It is a good place for the Asian cavalry division to re-emerge. Therefore, once he had the opportunity, he encouraged others, mainly black lamas, to invade Xinjiang. As soon as he entered Xinjiang, the ragtag group of black lamas were no match for him who came from a regular army. At that time, the host and guest changed hands, and northwest China became his world.
The Black Lama also personally saw the powerful men of the Anmeng Army. After Wen Ganlun expressed his heartfelt feelings, he became more reluctant to face a head-on confrontation. However, he and Wen Ganlun had different ideas: they had the advantage of location and people, and Wen Ganlun and others could only act according to their own will here. With the advantage of home field, they may be able to compete with the People's Army. Although the Asian Cavalry Division was defeated, after all, it was an army that had actually been on the battlefield. They could be used as the main force on the battlefield to guard Mazong Mountain in the future.
He mentioned Yang Zengxin's difficulties: "Xinjiang is a good place, but it's a pity that we can't enter. The Chinese warlord has managed the east and west checkpoints like iron barrels. For this plan, we all have to work together and work hard." Guarding this Mazong Mountain. The mountains here are high and steep, making it a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. No matter how hard the Chinese army attacks, can they still fly over? I can leave them without food or water at any time. This place is not It is suitable for large-scale use of troops, and their advantage of large numbers cannot be used. As time goes by, China's political situation will change, I don't believe they can still keep an eye on this place?"
Mazong Mountain is indeed a good place. It is a rare small oasis in a hidden desert beach, all nourished by clear springs. The Black Lama's fortress is located in the hills here. It is built like a maze, with fortifications and checkpoints. There are trenches, bunkers, bunkers, watchtowers, houses, dungeons, etc. It is called "Bayinbuluke". The Black Lama's confidence lies in the fact that his men are already well-equipped and are not afraid at all when encountering the People's Army with heavy artillery - because it is already very difficult to walk on such a mountain road, and the artillery will be unlucky for a while. Come up. Without heavy artillery, the People's Army's firepower advantage here becomes a disadvantage, or is not enough to form an advantage over him.
Dong Yanping already understands this factor very clearly. From the time he was stationed in Jiuquan, he began to pay attention to this cancer entrenched on the "Silk Road". He had heard about the Marshal's emphasis on Xinjiang and the "Silk Road" more than once at officer meetings. Since the Black Lama occupied Mazong Mountain, the "Silk Road" has been almost cut off, and some impatient businessmen are already looking for a route south to Hami.
After the march order was officially issued, as the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 6th Regiment of the 2nd Division, he has become the top front-line commander of the troops on Mazong Mountain. As far as he knew, the three bandit armies together only had about a thousand people. If they were on flat ground, he would be completely confident that they would be able to eat them. But fighting in Mazong Mountain, which is rarely visited by outsiders, needs to be carefully considered.
This area was originally deserted, and since the arrival of the Black Lama, no one dared to go there. As a result, I knew nothing about the defenses there. However, I got information from the merchants who came and went. In this black Gobi with a radius of thousands of miles, only the black lama knows where the water is. He controls almost every passage, well, inn and messenger here. His touch is everywhere. .
As an officer with good military training, Dong Yanping knew that without absolute certainty, he would rather not fight than lose the battle in the northwest. The young marshal has said more than once that suppressing bandits is actually a political battle. Leveling Mazong Mountain with one drum can not only promote the invincible image of the People's Army and benefit the people of Gansu, Ningxia, Xinjiang and Qinghai, but also put pressure on Yang Zengxin and know the strength of the People's Army, giving the People's Army an advantage when entering Xinjiang.
So this battle needs to be well arranged.

Chapter 494 Unforeseen circumstances
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The military order has been issued, and the current task of Dong Yanping Battalion is to collect relevant intelligence and facilitate the entry of subsequent large forces. His battalion had three infantry companies, plus a machine gun company. Because it was located on the frontier, the regiment headquarters also allocated a cavalry team of dozens of people, which constituted the main force of the entire battalion.
Reconnaissance troops have been dispatched, and contact has been made with the Xinjiang garrison in Hami. The two sides have worked together to cut off the passage from the black lama's hometown to Xinjiang and Gansu provinces, allowing the black lama to become a blind lama and conquer the city first.
At the same time, Zhang Hanqing was also accumulating grain and fodder in various places in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia. Since entering the northwest, due to transportation restrictions, the military has used many more horses than normal. Fortunately, he had a thick waist, so all the divisional cavalry regiments must be in place, and many additional mules and horses were added to the artillery and baggage troops, which greatly increased the mobility of the People's Army in the northwest region.
Because of this, his supplies are much more than those of normal troops. To use troops against black lamas and to travel thousands of miles requires the role of cavalry: necessities such as food, fodder, and drinking water, tents, quilts and other cold-proof materials, and equipment such as artillery shells, bullets, and cannons. These cannot be transported long distances by manpower—— The hardships of the Long March of later generations are neither necessary nor possible under the current situation. Fortunately, the civil strife in Mongolia finally subsided. The Mongolian government with Nasutu as the governor purchased many horses for the people's army to requisition. Several divisions of the northwest people's army are about to reach an average ratio of one horse for every two people, becoming a popular horse. The army with the highest proportion of horses in the world since the invention of weapons.
On December 16, Zhang Hanqing took the oath of surrender in Lanzhou. Nearly 20,000 people from the main force of the 2nd Division and the 4th Cavalry Division participated in this event. The pre-war mobilization has been carried out long ago, and all the officers and soldiers are full of fighting spirit for this time to suppress the black lama. It is a shame that the People's Army, which has more than 10 times the strength and can recruit people's army soldiers who are good at fighting, cannot destroy this group of bandits. As for entering Xinjiang, Yang Zengxin's troops and horses of more than 10,000 people can't use a mantis as a chariot no matter what. This journey from Gansu to Xinjiang is basically a journey.
On the mountain, at the foot of the mountain, the red flag is fluttering like a picture. Zhang Hanqing was impassioned in the face of tens of thousands of soldiers. A good politician must be a good speaker. He must at least be able to inspire courage and enthusiasm in his subordinates. This is a good leader. In the past few years of his military career, Zhang Hanqing insisted on working hard at the grassroots level, learning strategies and tactics from war, and now he has become a veritable commander-in-chief. Marshal, from the original honorific title to the current status symbol, is the result of Zhang Hanqing's hard work.
It was originally a clear sky, but suddenly a burst of clouds came in, blocking out the sun and making the earth dark. Then a strong wind blew up, rolling up the coarse sand and scattering it on everyone's heads. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers remained motionless, letting the red flags fly and the strong wind carrying sand hitting their faces. The People's Army has become an elite fighting force and can withstand any test.
But the horses that were sitting down and the mules that were transporting baggage and weapons were in panic. Some of them were crying and screaming, and some of them were shaking their trunks, as if they were trying to throw people away or run away with their hooves. This is a very abnormal situation. Military horses are different from civilian horses, and artillery bombardments sometimes do not cause them to disrupt their formation.
Han Linchun felt uneasy and said to Zhang Hanqing: "Young Marshal, strange things coming from the sky were not a good sign for sending troops in ancient times. Do you think we should wait for another day?" Although he had received modern military education, he was deeply opposed to some anti-human beings. The phenomenon is full of fear.
Who is Zhang Hanqing? Having received modern higher education, I despise the exaggerated atmosphere and demonizing plots in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The so-called "auspiciousness" and "warning" are all hindered by human factors without exception. When leading troops to fight a war, how can we postpone it just as long as it is postponed? Man can conquer heaven!
"There is always a lot of wind and sand in the northwest, and it is not uncommon for a strong wind to stir up a sand dune. The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and misfortune. It is amazing to me that Brother Han is afraid of this." Zhang Hanqing laughed so hard. In later generations, when wind and sand blew up in Beijing and covered the sky, it was a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster.
Yeah? Han Linchun shook his head. He was too worried. After a long career, a soldier like me suddenly had uneasy thoughts. Isn't this senior commander of the People's Army who relies on his feelings unreliable? He smiled to himself.
But strange things happened one after another: when we were getting water for dinner, the well water, which was originally calm and calm, suddenly became as thick as ink sweat, with mud floating up intermittently; the horses in the pen kept neighing, refused to eat, and some even broke the fence. , regardless of the blood all over his body; it was dark in the middle of the night, the sky suddenly brightened, and the light shone, just like daytime
The former reported to the headquarters and everyone was in a weird state, while the latter did not need to report because everyone was under the same sky. No, Zhang Hanqing was already stunned when he saw that the supposedly dark sky was so abnormal.
Everything is said in the military camp, and officers at all levels are trying their best to restrain them. No wonder many of these soldiers are illiterate.??These weirdness cannot be measured by common sense, so some uneasy thoughts naturally come to mind. Legends and superstitions are the soil for their spread.
Zhang Hanqing racked his brains to think about what happened in the nine years of the Republic of China? Over there, Guo Songling was also watching uneasily. Based on some experiences passed down by the old man, he felt that this time he could not treat it with common sense.
“Young Marshal, could it be an earthquake?”
earthquake! Zhang Hanqing was shocked. Isn't it? These are scenes similar to the legendary earthquake! After the Wenchuan earthquake that year, the various anomalies before the earthquake were widespread and particularly widespread, such as winter snakes coming out of their holes, fish leaping out of the water, pigs and cows jumping in hoops, chickens flying and dogs jumping around, etc. Moreover, I seem to remember that as a post-earthquake science popularization, it was mentioned that in the ninth year of the Republic of China, a major earthquake occurred in China that shocked both China and the world. It seems to be the middle of winter, it should be not far from now, the location is Haiyuan! It’s the Haiyuan Earthquake!
Zhang Hanqing was horrified at the Lingtai. He actually faced this huge earthquake after traveling through time! This was considered the largest earthquake to occur in inland China in modern history, with the final death toll reaching 270,000. In the vast and sparsely populated remote northwest, and during the Republic of China, when the total population was only one-third of the later generations, the death toll exceeded that of the later Tangshan earthquake, which shows how tragic it was. It is conceivable that these 270,000 people represent What a meaning!
He did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly said to Guo Songling and others: "It's an earthquake! This will also be an unprecedented earthquake! Now convey my order, all officers and soldiers should leave the brick buildings and camp in the open space; immediately go to Gan, Ning, and The provincial governments of Qinghai and Shaanxi sent electricity to ask them to issue earthquake prevention notices at all levels and start preparing for disaster relief; they sent electricity to the Shenyang Headquarters and asked them to quickly prepare cotton-padded clothes and tents for winter for emergency use; the People's Army in various places immediately mobilized for war preparations. , prepare to devote all your efforts to disaster relief!"
The series of orders surprised both Han and Guo. Guo Songling said uneasily: "Young Marshal, I am just guessing, not accurate." On the eve of this war, the People's Army still has many things to do. For such a He himself found it unbelievable that he would go to war based on unreliable feelings and guesses. “If local disaster preparedness is required without certainty, I’m afraid it will cause panic.”
Zhang Hanqing almost jumped up at this time: "Definitely!" He has been feeling something heavy pressing on his chest these days, but he still doesn't know what it is. Now he knows it must be this. Although the time cannot be completely determined, this event exists objectively. Therefore, if there is an opportunity to arrange it in advance, it will be a meritorious thing: "The troops entering Xinjiang suspended their actions and immediately established the earthquake prevention and relief headquarters. Haiyuan is the center of gravity, and the surrounding areas of Lunde, Xiji, Jingtai, and Jingyuan are the hardest-hit areas, and other peripheral areas depend on the situation. Telegrams are sent out in the form of urgent messages, and communications must be fast to minimize losses."
Why must the military participate in earthquake relief? Because it prohibits the execution of orders, the efficiency is not generally high. The order from the top military agency in the northwest region awakened the four top local administrators, including Ma Qi, Ma Fuxiang, Ma Tingxiang, and Yu Youren. They were completely confused and immediately took action based on whether they believed it or not. , because the young marshal's message was short and urgent, giving them no chance to question it.
It is this mentality of not being clear but not daring to mess up things that makes government orders extremely smooth and invisibly saves many people. For example, Yu Youren, with his selfless admiration for the young marshal, immediately issued a decree and launched a large-scale mobilization in Xi'an late at night; the three northwest horses were already well-known in the local area, and their orders were notified as soon as possible. counties.
As for the next level, sorry, it’s late.
At 8:05 or 6 p.m., some abnormal phenomena were observed in some cities in China and neighboring countries. It cannot be said that Chengdu, Daming, Shanghai and Haiphong are very close to each other. You must know that it is about 1,200 kilometers from Chengdu to Daming and about 1,900 kilometers from Shanghai to Haiphong. However, at the above-mentioned moment, all the clocks in the French Consulate in Chengdu, the Jesuit Mission in Daimyo, the British Trust in Shanghai and the Observatory in Haiphong stopped immediately.
In these cities and in many other settlements, people sitting at dinner tables suddenly saw chandeliers begin to swing;
In Banxia, ??north of the daimyo, three chatting missionaries suddenly felt nauseous. They felt that the floor began to rock like the deck of a ship;
In a place 1,250 kilometers away from the China Sea, housewives walking to the market suddenly felt seasick. Residents in Beijing and Tianjin also felt the same;
A British passenger ship "Devanha" sailing from Shanghai to Hong Kong felt a strong earthquake-like vibration when it reached the sea off Shantou. The captain thought that the ship might have hit the submerged drifting objects
This is the beginning of "China in 1920, a Disaster Ignored by the West" written by an anonymous Soviet writer. Almost the entire world felt the impact of the earthquake, and the most profound impact was undoubtedly on those who were affected by the earthquake. Northwest, in the epicenter of Haiyuan. This place has become the Abi Hell in Buddhism and is undergoing the cruel test of life, separation and death.

Chapter 495 Disaster Like Fire

There was a thunderbolt, strong wind, black fog and red light. In an instant, the ground was rocking like a ship and people could not stand. The Haiyuan Earthquake happened!
"The earth shook and the mountains shook, and the mouth of the mountain suddenly swung down. There were such wide openings in the valleys. Where people were sitting, the mountains collapsed." Survivor Feng Zhilu described the scene at that time. Dong Shanzheng, another survivor from Xi'an Township, Haiyuan County, also said: "The mountains in Wanjiashui have merged. The two mountains have merged together. There are no sheep or people left."
Because it was night and due to backward conditions, poor people in mountain villages could not even afford to light oil lamps and often went to bed when it got dark. This was one of the reasons why the losses were so great after 8 o'clock.
Another reason is that Zhang Hanqing's notice was very close to the earthquake. With the communication conditions at that time, telegrams could only be reached in a few larger counties, and telephone calls were only available to a few wealthy people in a few central cities. People. It is a miracle that the decrees from the provincial capital can be conveyed to the county so quickly. As for the township and village levels, they can only hope for their own blessings.
Zhang Hanqing, who was two hundred kilometers away, also felt the shock strongly. Soon, reports of damage from the nearby city of Lanzhou reached the temporary headquarters. According to a simple visual inspection, 70% of the houses were damaged. As for the number of casualties, it is impossible to estimate.
We all know that Haiyuan is the epicenter of the earthquake, we all know that the situation here should be the worst, and we all know that this is the place in the country that needs help the most. But for Zhang Hanqing at the end of 1920, all the knowledge he possessed was completely helpless in the face of the power of nature: there was a road from Lanzhou to Guyuan, but it was in disrepair for many years, and the mountain road was steep, potholed, and muddy, making it difficult to walk. Only human legs can move freely. It is completely irresponsible for cavalry to walk at night in this era. Cars and other mechanical equipment cannot move at all.
Disaster relief is like putting out fires. One more life may be lost every night. According to the experience of later generations, the most precious thing in earthquake disasters is the "golden seventy-two hours". Comparing one's feelings with one's own, Zhang Hanqing couldn't sit still.
The People's Army was born out of Fengjun and is inevitably affected by some bad habits. Although under the guidance of Wang Yizhe and himself, there has been some progress in the ideology of forming an army, most of them still remain on slogans. At most, they need to have stronger discipline. , Ideological education is a little more successful. To truly enable an army to understand "why it fights" and "what it means to be a soldier", it is particularly important to create a good military-civilian relationship.
He believed that he could not mingle with the common people like the Red Army, but he could win a good reputation and make the common people like this army and see that it was different from other warlords' troops. It is not enough to follow the "Eight Points of Discipline and Three Attentions". It is also necessary to truly integrate with the people and truly "come from the people and go to the people."
Now that the people are suffering from disaster, it is time to show that the "People's Army" is the "people's army." He immediately held a meeting of cadres at the regiment level and above and announced that from now on, "disaster relief" would be the top priority of the Northwest People's Army:
"Just now, it has been confirmed that a very serious earthquake has occurred, and you have all felt it. Now many people in the epicenter are dying, and many people are buried in the ruins and are in urgent need of rescue. They and the survivors need food, clothing and medicine. . With such a large area affected by the disaster, no one can help them. The central government cannot count on them, and the local governments are also poor. Only we can do something.
Traffic is not good now, and the conditions in the disaster area are also very poor. All we can rely on are two legs and two hands. But we are going because we are the people's army, the people's army. How can we look at people suffering and excuse it with one reason or another? If so, what do the people do to support us?
Now, I am issuing an order in the name of the Chairman of the People's Party's Military Committee and the General Headquarters of the Northwest People's Army. All officers and soldiers planning to enter Xinjiang will fully devote themselves to disaster relief, except for some garrison tasks.
Not only that, the garrison troops stationed in various places have also received orders to go all out for disaster relief. In accordance with the deployment of the Earthquake Relief Headquarters, engineers, communications troops and cavalry were the first group to arrive overnight in the hardest-hit Guyuan counties. Some infantry units then rushed to designated locations, and some infantry units were enriched into baggage units and began to sort out supplies and supplies. Transport them to the disaster area as soon as possible.
Disaster relief is life-saving. All troops set off overnight and will make additional arrangements for follow-up matters! "
After receiving the order, various units of the People's Army acted quickly and marched through the mountains and ravines with torches. The roads were no longer roads and the bridges were torn apart and twisted. The deathly silent mountain road was filled with people's officers and soldiers following orders. There were constant aftershocks at night. The People's Army marching in the dark had to watch the road under their feet and carefully avoid the dangers caused by possible earthquakes. It was very difficult to move forward.
At that time, people still knew very little about earthquakes. In ancient times, people in the Qintian Prison would consider it as "God's early warning" to traitors in the court and the emperor's "irrelevant governance", which required the emperor to go to the altar to pray for blessings and issue edicts to punish himself. Even in modern times, accurately predicting earthquakes is still a world-class problem.
After the earthquake, the telegraph office was also damaged. Telegrams and letters could not be sent out, and information with the provincial capitals Yinchuan and Lanzhou was interrupted. According to official history, it was not until one month after the earthquake that the first telegram was sent from a temporary Guyuan telegraph office built with mats and door panels.
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing was here. The People's Army used military code to send out this important news overnight: Beijing, Shenyang, and Tianjin. Major newspapers reprinted it one after another, and radio stations also immediately transmitted the radio waves of the disaster to various places: Shanghai, Wuhan, Nanjing, Guangzhou far away from the northwest, the People's Army's telegram has almost become the only communication channel between the earthquake area and the outside world.
All seven divisions of the People's Army have been involved in disaster relief. In an area of ??thousands of miles, this amount of manpower is insignificant, but it is crucial. Since it is winter, the dead are not at risk of the plague in the short term, and they can go all out to search and rescue the living buried in the ruins and treat the injured.
The Earthquake Relief Headquarters manages the military on one hand and liaises with provincial governments on the other to carry out self-rescue. Within a week, 10,000 tents, 30,000 pieces of cotton-padded clothes and 500 tons of grain were delivered to the disaster area, and free rice and porridge were provided at 2,000 bases.
The Northwest People's Army and the government are deeply involved in disaster relief, and there is no distinction between Huihan and region. Urgently transported clothing from the Northeast also came via railways and highways along the inner and outer sides of the Great Wall, the ancient roads beyond the Great Wall, and the vast grasslands. Tianjin Dodge Automobile Factory donated all the cars that had just left the factory to the use of disaster relief materials, allowing the materials to arrive at the disaster area as quickly as possible, which fully verified Zhang Hanqing's foresight in developing mechanical transportation.
? In contrast, what the central government can do is extremely limited. Historically, the "Gansu Earthquake Relief Association" has received a total of 30,943 yuan in donations, 70,60 cents and 8 cents. This amount of money is not enough to meet the emergency expenses of the disaster area. Due to the cold and food being buried, the victims are extremely likely to freeze and starve to death. many.
At this moment, the central government also has no good solution - even the military pay needs to be borrowed from abroad. Let's talk about a famine in the territory of the Feng clan. It is delusional to say how much effort the central government will need, at least. The immediate boss is not willing to pay too much attention to this matter. People who came to Beijing late from Gansu criticized: "Gansu is a place where the state levies rental tax, and the people of Gansu are burdened by the state. Now that we have suffered this unprecedented catastrophe, we cannot take into account the remaining benefits. This is not only public opinion, but also Inhumane.”
Of course, objectively speaking, the central government does not have the conditions to support the northwest earthquake on a large scale at this time: transportation is inconvenient, information is poor, and materials are in short supply. However, these cannot be negotiated with human life, at least in the context of disaster relief. In fact, the People's Government is very popular.
After all, there were very few engineers and shovels, and the disaster relief tools were not prepared in advance. The weather was freezing and the ground was freezing. Countless human lives were dug out from the ruins. The people's army used only flesh and blood. This is a team that is different from the armies of previous dynasties and the troops of successive warlords. The people see it and feel pain in their hearts. The image of the People's Army as a benevolent and righteous army was passed down from this time.
The efficiency of the People's Government is also surprisingly high. Zhou Tingyuan, the county magistrate of Jingning County, the hardest-hit area, immediately called for people to rescue the living people buried in the rubble, regardless of the safety of his wife and children and the danger of the walls and houses of his home collapsing. "The next morning, food was delivered to the county warehouse. The victims who had no food to eat bought clothes from pawnshops. The victims who had no clothes took tents and flags to sleep in the county treasury, and built tents and huts for the homeless victims." He also asked "the authorities Send doctors with medicine to treat victims with internal injuries and fractures."
Because of his effective disaster relief measures, people's hearts are relatively stable. He took the lead in donating his salary, using work as relief, and summoned victims to dredge rivers and divert water to prevent it from overflowing.
This work-for-relief method not only effectively solves the problem of insufficient manpower for disaster relief, but also calms people's hearts because everyone has something to do. Therefore, although Jingning is the place where the earthquake was more serious this time, it is also the place where disaster relief is most effective.
Zhang Hanqing was appointed by the Fire Line as the commander-in-chief to handle the northwest earthquake river dredging relief project. Administratively, he had ideas, but the specific work was complicated and he did not have the energy to do it. It was appropriate for people to do their best.
Two weeks later, the first phase of emergency rescue came to an end. According to the experience of later generations, although some people who still cannot be rescued for such a long time are still conceptually possible to be rescued, the focus of disaster relief should be on the deceased. of processing. This is a long-term experience that a major disaster must be followed by a major epidemic. Now, it is time to let the souls of the dead rest in peace.
Because it is an area inhabited by Hui and Han people, there are dead people of different ethnic groups everywhere, so how to deal with them becomes the first priority after the disaster. According to the customs of various ethnic groups, Han people use coffins after death, while Hui people wrap them in white cloth and bury them, although they are currently buried in the ground. Moreover, in the areas where Hui and Han people live, the rule that Hui and Han people are buried in different places is strictly enforced. This has been true for thousands of years.

Not everyone sympathizes with the Haiyuan earthquake. At least the black lama who lives in Mazong Mountain takes pleasure in the disaster.
The People's Army is preparing to integrate the strength of two divisions to suppress him. It would be a lie to say that it is not afraid. But once delayed by such an earthquake, the People's Army used the army for other purposes, and his crisis was eliminated in a short time. In response to the earthquake, he intercepted the first batch of cotton sent from Xinjiang to Jiuquan - this was the deep affection of the people of Xinjiang for the people in the disaster area. At the same time, he killed more than a dozen officers, soldiers and civilians who were transporting supplies.
Dong Yanping was almost furious. At a time when the whole army is actively engaged in earthquake relief, any relief supplies are a life-saving force. This group of bandits was so bold that they directly defied the garrison troops in Gansu and Xinjiang. You must know that some time ago, due to fear, the Black Lama withdrew all small groups of bandits wandering on the "Silk Road".
“I don’t know when the main force of the bandit suppression army will be able to escape, but Dong Yanping doesn’t want to wait any longer. Over the past few days, he had not only stocked up enough military supplies, but also roughly figured out the movements of the Black Lama and the general location of Mazong Mountain. With these conditions, he felt fully capable of launching a big battle.
The entire 1st Battalion was dispatched in the early morning of January 5th. The weather was clear that day and the visibility was very good. All officers and soldiers, covered in thick winter clothes, began their journey accompanied by hundreds of camels.
This is all the means of transportation that Dong Yanping can currently assemble. The Great Gannan Earthquake and the Black Lama's ravages also cut off the "Silk Road". These camels are made up of several camel teams. It is impossible to use troops in the Gobi Desert without these things.
Under the guidance of several guides found from the original Gansu garrison, the group began to set off. The cavalry was responsible for patrolling, and the machine gun company and the camel transport team were surrounded in the middle, gradually disappearing into the boundless sky of wind and sand.
Going northwest from Jiayu Pass is the Gobi. The Qingshan, Jianquanzi, and Yin'ao Gorges you pass are all famous but uninhabited wastelands on the map. There is no water along the way. Even if you find it, it is bitter water that humans and animals must not drink.
Dong Yanping made relatively sufficient preparations. Each camel carried several large baskets of water, which was enough for his troops for more than 10 days. Despite this, he asked to save water as much as possible along the way because he didn't know when the next supply would be available.
Starting from Jiuquan, we traveled four hundred miles to the west and then three hundred miles to the north. For nearly four days, we did not encounter an enemy. The front was not far from the town where Mazong Mountain was located. Dong Yanping was puzzled, but he also became more vigilant.
The Black Lama is a very powerful figure in the legend. He is familiar with this geographical location. It is impossible for him to know nothing about his progress. What is certain is that he must have a plan.
Mazong Mountain, also called Beishan, is the hinterland of the Black Gobi. The gravel on the surface of the Gobi is dark black, and it looks vast. In the distance, you can vaguely see the mountains stretching across the front, as elegant as horse hair. Maybe this is the origin of Horse Hair Mountain. Continuing forward for nearly a hundred miles, the "Horse Mane" turned into countless black hills, none of them too high, like ponies racing.
The guide said in a deep voice: "We have arrived at Mazong Mountain Town." There was a hint of vibrato in his words, which made the people who were marching in the wind and frost tremble when they heard it.
Mazongshan Town occupies half of the entire Subei County, which is equivalent to Jiangsu Province. The seat of its town government is called Gongpo Spring. It is said that there are two springs next to each other, the larger one is Gongpo Spring and the smaller one is Gongpo Spring. People traveling from north to south and water in the small town all rely on this Gongpo Spring, and Dong Yanping also plans to provide supplies here.
It was getting late, and several company commanders and cavalry captains gathered around Dong Yanping, staring at the passage into the town in front of them - a cross street could be vaguely seen, consisting of several low bungalows interlaced, forming a small A panoramic view of the town.
It’s been more than one day living in the open air in the Gobi Desert. It’s nothing. I’ve experienced greater hardships than this. But I have never seen anyone who is a black lama, which is very unusual. Dong Yanping needed to find someone to ask - even if there was a local person to talk to, he couldn't always feel like he was being kept in the dark.
Of course, he doesn’t plan to stay in a private house. These few houses are not enough for the whole camp!
After hearing the order, the cavalry team sent people to the town to inquire about the situation, but the reported situation made people even more worried: "Several households are empty."
Dong Yanping looked at the desolate and cold wilderness and the forested hills not far away, feeling a little worried for the first time. This place is not like the way we came. Although it is deserted, it is fair to both attackers and defenders. At least they can find the attackers dozens of miles ahead. There are hills and mountains just outside. In the dim moonlight, it is very convenient to hide people or launch raids here.
Since we have arrived at the enemy's territory, we must first establish ourselves in an invincible position. Dong Yanping made an instant decisionI haven't seen the enemy yet, and no idea is false. Several comrades who had a good relationship with the deceased couldn't help but cry. Several other people also felt sad, not sure whether it was because of grief or nervousness.
Soon, the news about the headless He Xiaosan spread throughout the battalion. This was like rubbing salt into the wound. The already uneasy soldiers became a little restless.
Thinking of the so-called black shadow before, Dong Yanping felt that the two things were not isolated. It seemed that he and his party were already in the sight of the black lama. Maybe he himself was waiting for an opportunity not far away!
He decided to shrink the defense line and move the outpost near the hill back half a mile to increase the buffer time for emergency response. At the same time, the six heavy machine guns belonging to the machine gun company were ordered to hide live ammunition in various important corridors, and the machine gunners and deputies were on duty in two shifts.
In order to provide effective command at night, he ordered: "I, the battalion instructor, and the deputy battalion commander will each lead a patrol team in the early, middle, and late night. All officers and soldiers are strictly prohibited from leaving the defense area and walking around at night. Each company must also organize its own patrol teams. Each chief officer will lead the team in person."
This decision saved the lives of all officers and soldiers in the battalion. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 499 Night Attack

The Black Lama is indeed not far away.
He allowed the People's Army to enter the Gobi just to take advantage of the geographical convenience. He has seen the three northwest troops, especially Ma Fuxiang's army. They are not very powerful, but they cannot be underestimated. Their advantages are particularly obvious in positional battles. He had fought with the Xinjiang army in Khovd, and the Ma Jiajun was obviously stronger than them.
After failing to enter Xinjiang, he once led troops to harass Jiuquan and Dunhuang, and experienced the power of the Ma Jiajun.
But just such an army was defeated by the Fengjun army. Lanzhou, Yinchuan, and Zhongwei were defeated miserably in many places without exception. In the end, the northwest changed hands, which shows the sharpness of the People's Army.
“And at the foot of Culun City, he saw the artillery and heavy machine gun troops of the Anmeng Army with his own eyes, and was stunned by the firepower at that time. No matter how poorly equipped the Republic of China's army was, it was still much better equipped than the Mongolian army. Even the Russian army at the height of its power did not give in too much.
In fact, he is behind the times. Comparing the Tsarist Russian army four or five years ago with the Anmeng army that Zhang Zuolin deliberately built, of course he is shocked. In the following years, the armies he came into contact with were all poor and ineffective motley crews. The difference between them and the well-trained People's Army was immediately noticeable at a glance.
Not all the People’s Army is so, well, well-equipped. Just like during World War II, Tubal Road and the National Army were naturally inferior in terms of firepower, but the National Army was not on the same level as the Japanese Army, and the Japanese Army was not a heavyweight compared to the American and German troops of the same period. One mountain looks higher than the other. .
However, Dong Yanping's 1st Battalion is indeed a regular army. It also has a machine gun company specially allocated by the regiment, plus a cavalry. It has enough mobility and firepower to fight. Otherwise, Dong Yanping would not dare to be so confident in the face of a large bandit army. .
This is why the Black Lama decided to let this team go into the Black Gobi. The outcome of a head-on confrontation is unpredictable, but there is one way that can kill the People's Army, and that is water.
Almost all water wells on the Silk Road beyond the Great Wall from Ejina Banner to Hami are under the control of the Black Lama. His eyes are also scattered all over this land of hundreds of miles. The People's Army has been following him from the moment it leaves. within the control of. I just knew that the People's Army's firepower was still very fierce, and the road was all flat, so it was difficult to start, until they reached Mazong Mountain.
??The mountains here are surrounded by mountains, and there are hills everywhere, which is perfect for cavalry operations. The shortcoming of the People's Army is that most of them are infantry. As long as they are attacked by a large group of cavalry, they will not dare to leave the defensive circle easily. This plays into his heart.
The springs around here have been poisoned.
Without water, any defensive circle will be empty, and in the end it will become a fight and retreat. At that time, it will depend on what he is good at. Mobile warfare between infantry and cavalry is a natural way to defeat. In the 700-mile Gobi Desert, the cavalry always has the opportunity to break through the infantry's defense circle, unless the opponent dares to risk being held back.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? doesn't even need to be beaten can kill the person to death from thirst.
Of course, in order to make the process go faster, he has set up an ambush here tonight, waiting for the People's Army to enter.
However, the People's Army camped in Gongpoquan, but the defense was very tight. The overt and covert posts were well arranged, and there was faint fire support behind. It looked like a well-trained army. This was a serious problem for his subsequent combat plan. This hindered him, which actually aroused the black lama's competitive spirit.
He did the reconnaissance himself, taking his sheepdog with him.
"I was lucky enough to catch a soldier doing dirty things, but I couldn't understand the obscure dialect of the Han soldier. At this time, his clever dog accidentally raised its tail and was accidentally shot by the People's Army sentry who overreacted.
Thinking he had been exposed, he killed the unfortunate soldier with a sword, cut off his head as a threat, and then quietly retreated.
At this time, his successors were not yet in place, and it was too early to attack the People's Army positions. Looking from a distance, the army on the opposite side only cautiously sent out a search team, but at the same time several teams were on guard at the side. For this reason, he was glad that the time he arranged for the attack was at midnight - the Han people must be nervous now, so it was not a good time to attack.
The moon in the sky disappears and appears, and the entire Gongpo Spring is immersed in silence. Dong Yanping wrapped himself tightly in his blanket. Nights in the Gobi Desert sometimes reached more than 30 degrees below zero. Even though it was so cold in the Northeast, it didn't get this cold. I didn't know anything about the bandit army in Mazong Mountain, so this operation was a bit hasty. In any case, the entrenched enemy would need several times the number to annihilate it rather than simply defeat it.
Today’s events made him toss and turn and couldn’t sleep, so he simply got up quietly. The deputy battalion commander was a veteran of the army who had been on the battlefield for a long time. With him on duty at night, he was not worried, but he was still a little uneasy.
Can seeThey observe the battle situation within their ability's field of vision, and when they find out where the enemy is relatively dense, they turn their heads.
After several tongues of fire were fired everywhere, the situation on the battlefield began to become clear. The bandits did not dare to charge directly towards the location of the heavy machine guns, or were suppressed in place, which gave the People's Army time to regroup. Relying on the breathing space given by the superior firepower, officers and soldiers of the People's Army at all levels began to enter the state. The first, second and third companies cooperated with each other and began to use cross fire to clear the bandits in the defense area.
I don’t know how long the battle lasted until the moon shined through the clouds again on the valley. Seeing that the effect of the surprise attack had been lost, a roar sounded from somewhere, and countless bandit troops quickly withdrew from the battlefield, coming quietly and leaving quietly, without taking away a single injured person.

Chapter 500 Fight and retreat

The People's Army did not sleep well all night. Half of them were sleeping with their clothes on, but they woke up from time to time. Half of them did not sleep at all.
An emergency headcount was carried out at night, and 87 people were killed on the spot, more than 30 were seriously injured, and many more were slightly injured. As for the enemy, no one paid attention to them. Everyone huddled in the barracks and waited for dawn to see the results of the battle. There was a roar of wind that night, and everything that moved outside the camp was the enemy's figure.
As a commander, Dong Yanping cares about much more than that. There is no way to treat the seriously injured in this place. What we are considering now is not whether to leave, but how to send them back to Jiuquan faster, where there is a field hospital. It is absolutely not feasible to leave the main force with light equipment and simple obedience. Whether they can survive the bumps on the road these days depends on fate.
And the fighting power of the bandits is astonishing. It's not that they are good at fighting, but that the speed at which they can travel in such mountainous terrain is not as fast as ordinary troops who are good at fighting on the plains can imagine. The young marshal once mentioned the formation of mountain troops. It turns out that fighting in the mountains and on the plains is indeed different!
The long night finally came to an end, and in the dim dawn, Dong Yanping personally led a company of troops to clean up the battlefield. The Gobi Desert for miles around was full of bloodstains and bullet casings, as well as frozen bandits.
Preliminary statistics show that more than 200 people were killed in this battle, half of whom died of injuries. They were probably too injured to leave and froze to death on the ground. You must know that in the Gobi in January, the nighttime temperature is usually more than 30 degrees below zero. If you bleed and the cold is added, it is unreasonable to die.
In order to prevent the bodies of the dead from being damaged by other wild animals, the People's Army piled up the corpses of the bandits and buried them in a low ground. They also chose another low ground for their fallen comrades and built a large tomb with stones. Living in the same camp and dying in the same cave, this is the most reasonable funeral that can be done in the Gobi Desert.
Putting the wounded on the backs of camels, six machine guns were also mounted on the camels, and the People's Army broke camp and withdrew. It was a sneak attack last night. The bandits did not use cavalry because war horses were also not suitable for night fighting.
Now, daytime has come, and the bandits have the opportunity to use their advantageous projects. Dong Yanping and his officers are worried and secretly increase their vigilance. Along the way, we will definitely face many sneak attacks, assaults and various tricks, and we must not take it lightly at any time.
However, the Black Lama didn't even intend to let them leave Gongpoquan. Before the men and horses set off, the cavalry team serving as peripheral security had already discovered a large bandit army ambushing behind the mountain. This surprise is no small matter. The ground here is covered with rocks and the heights are very high and low, making it very unsuitable for infantry to walk, let alone attack and advance.
Dong Yanping immediately fell into a dilemma. The two-legged People's Army will definitely not be able to engage in mobile warfare with the four-legged bandits. The advantage of the infantry lies in defense and positional warfare. But judging from the fact that the bandits had been watching them all night, it seemed that they had changed their style of play after suffering the consequences of the forceful attack.
That’s what the Black Lama thinks.
He had been planning for a raid last night for a long time. In fact, from the moment the People's Army left Jiuquan, he had already figured out all the details.
In order to teach the People's Army a lesson, he gave up the harassment on the way here, because he was afraid that if the People's Army lost, it would quickly retreat to Jiuquan. When the other party arrived at Gongpo Spring, nearly half of the important water source had been consumed. After several days of hard march, the personnel began to feel a little tired. This is the best time to take action.
He first organized a large-scale night attack, taking advantage of his geographical advantages and the difficulty of not distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy at night, and mobilized almost half of the bandit army to participate in the battle. It lasted for nearly an hour and started very smoothly, catching the People's Army by surprise.
But when the People’s Army’s heavy machine guns rang out, everything quickly returned to pre-war conditions.
In the Army, there has always been a saying that "new recruits are afraid of cannons and veterans are afraid of machine guns." The cannons are noisy and scary, but veterans all know that although the cannons can fire happily, infantry is not the target of attacks. Trench, blocking nets, fortifications, machine gun or artillery positions are their favorites.
When shells are flying, half of your life can be saved by lying down, and almost your whole body can be saved by squatting in a pit. Of course, there is nothing to be afraid of if you are hit directly. What is there to think about if you cannot die anymore?
On the contrary, it is a machine gun. As a weapon to suppress the firepower of infantry, it is born to kill infantry. No matter how far or near, if you scratch a piece, it will be injured. If you hit it, it will either damage the muscles or bones or cause bloody injuries.
The opposite is true in the Gobi Desert. Cannons are rare, and ordinary soldiers have no impression of them, but they have seen machine guns: the defenders of Xinjiang have them, and the earliest Mazongshan bandits have seen them; the Anmeng Army and later Mongolian defenders have them, and the remnants of the Asian Cavalry Division have learned from them. However, that is the natural enemy of the cavalry.
Last night, machine guns sprayed flames, moving towards everything in the melee.Can one person escape from the siege? He disclosed this idea to deputy battalion commander Chen Huairen and instructor Hu Bicheng, but Chen Huairen expressed opposition.
"Battal Commander, we are not familiar with the place. The cavalry has no guide and it is difficult to find its way back. As long as the bandits catch up with them slowly on the road, they will definitely die with this little manpower. And even if one of them breaks out of the encirclement and finds the regiment headquarters, That will be four days later, and when the regiment headquarters sends troops to support and find us, they will probably collect the bodies for us."
Hu Bicheng put forward an idea: "The chances of sending troops to ask for help are slim, and staying in the Gobi is still a narrow escape. Should we think differently: Where will the supplies of the Black Lama's people come from?"
Dong Yanping’s eyes suddenly lit up. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 501: Put yourself to death and survive
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The top three-person command team of the first battalion immediately discussed this inspiration and finally made a decision.
According to Zhang Hanqing’s original intention of setting up instructors, this is an important task that can restrain military commanders, be responsible for correcting the military’s thinking and deciding on organizational personnel work. At critical moments, they can negate the military decisions of military commanders. The decisions made by the battalion commander, instructor and deputy battalion commander can be regarded as the collective decision-making of the entire battalion.
It’s better to go straight to the thief’s hole. As long as they can get supplies, especially water, Dong Yanping is confident that no team in the Gobi Desert can defeat him. Since you won't let me retreat, I won't retreat but advance. Let's see how you respond.
They informed the people below of their decision, and every company and platoon responded enthusiastically. This was an army that had received strict military training, but was decimated by a group of bandits. The whole battalion was in a state of despair. Rather than passively being chased and beaten like this, why not face the difficulties and attack the enemy to save them!
The first company commander took the initiative to volunteer. His company suffered the greatest losses in last night's battle. The whole company was full of fighting spirit after receiving ideological education.
This also shows how important the political work of a modern army is. When the People's Army branch goes down to the company, the company instructor becomes the company commander's first deputy and the first person in charge politically. In many cases, he assumes tasks that are more important than combat. The military chief plans how to fight, while the political chief arouses the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers. The two complement each other and complement each other.
Not only did the Chinese army have the position of political cadres, but later generations of the US military also had military chaplains who played the same role. Even Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union actively wanted to restore the position of political commissar, which naturally makes sense.
Seeing that his morale was strong, Dong Yanping rekindled his hope of victory. He promised to advance a battery of attacks and brought in two machine guns to increase firepower. The bandits who were following the order suddenly saw the People's Army rushing back. They didn't know why, and most of them stayed away. The bandit army that was originally responsible for the head-on attack looked at the third company of the People's Army responsible for breaking up the rear, and they did not dare to follow up. They just followed slowly and urgently sent someone to report to the Black Lama.
The Black Lama, who was setting up an ambush on the only way for the People's Army to retreat to Jiuquan, was surprised. He had made complete preparations and planned three groups of troops to continuously harass the People's Army and completely defeat them with the final blow. But the news that came was that they were not coming, which was a bit uninteresting.
But the more surprising news is that this powerful army seems to be heading towards its home base. As expected, the other party was about to fight to the death. However, he had no choice but to accept the opponent's decision.
If they lose, this army of the People's Army will have no place to die; if they win, the Black Lama himself will have no place to hide and will return to the era of running around and committing crimes He began to admire the commander of this army: avoid He is not good at mobile warfare, but he can resolutely attack those he must save, and his vision is very vicious.
In fact, Dong Yanping and others were just forced to Liangshan to make a last-ditch effort
This behavior completely disrupted the deployment of the bandit army. The bandit army was unable to effectively block the advance of the attack by the first company, and opened the passage from Gongpo Spring to Mazong Mountain. After the third company moved in, they arranged two more machine guns. Hold down the position. The gravel everywhere made it inconvenient for the People's Army infantry to walk, but it also restricted the performance of the cavalry. Facing the black heavy machine guns, no one dared to get into trouble.
So, on the steep mountain road, the huge bandit army was blocked by the People's Army, but it also meant that if they could not capture the Black Lama's lair, they would be trapped in a pincer attack from both front and back, and would be defeated in the end.
This is the rhythm of risking your life to survive!
The mountain road ahead is getting more and more difficult. According to insiders, it is getting closer and closer to "Bayinbuluke" because the sudden reconnaissance force has discovered a bunker ahead.
Different from the official history, the Black Lama had not been involved in Mazong Mountain for a long time at this time, so he did not take time to build his large-scale group of bunkers. His lair is still only a prototype. It is a threat to the poor military administration of the Northwest, but for the People's Army equipped with heavy machine guns and familiar with infantry warfare, it is easy for the 1st Company to capture it.
This is without mortars. When the machine guns failed to suppress the hidden guns in the bunker, Dong Yanping regretted not deploying a few mortars to the regiment.
??Continue to advance forward, and the battlefield situation is favorable to the People's Army. Because when the Black Lama chose to build the bunker, he made good use of the terrain here. After conquering the first stronghold, the 3rd Company relied on this remaining bunker to defend the entire battalion's rear route, which was much more labor-saving than defending halfway. With two machine guns and one machine gun, this place became a natural chasm again.
But at this time, the Black Lama has returned to his lair.
? ?The sudden change of tactics by the people's army surprised him at first: most people would try their best to get out of the predicament in this situation, and escaping back to Jiuquan was the best way out for this army. According to the intelligence given by the informant, they would definitely retreat before the drinking water was exhausted, but they changed their minds midway.
According to the opponent’s marching route, he quickly saw through the opponent’s intentions. But seeing through it and having a solution are two different things. At least he is now very surprised that the People's Army has conquered the first line of defense.
It can only be said that he is not good at large-scale combat. Perhaps the long-term guerrilla warfare method has worn away his remaining military skills. Perhaps his vision determines that what he considers a solid defense line is nothing more than an obstacle in the eyes of the regular army—— ——It can slightly slow down the army's advancement, but it cannot form any real resistance.
The surprise of the Black Lama fell in the eyes of Wen Ganlun and others. He and Zuliexin looked at each other tacitly, and Zuliexin nodded.
"Your Excellency Hutuktu, the firepower of the Han people is very fierce. We cannot stop the Han army with this castle. Before their large forces arrive, we enter Xinjiang, where we will gallop!"
The Black Lama had been canonized as Hutuktu by Jebtsundamba who was shot by Zhang Hanqing in Kulun, so he had such a sacred status in the hearts of the Mongolian people. This is why Wen Ganlun honored him. He has personally experienced the power of the People's Army. If he had no place to stay, he would not be trapped here waiting for the Chinese young marshal to send people to destroy them.
“But he knows almost nothing about the situation in Xinjiang, and relies on black lamas to help him open the door to the west, so whenever he has the opportunity, he will spare no effort to persuade him.
"Mr. Baron, it's no big deal. This line of defense of mine was built hastily not long ago and has not had time to be enriched. When the Han army attacks my second line of defense, they will know what it means to be impregnable! Their firepower advantage cannot It shows that we still have nearly a thousand people who can fight!"
The second line of defense is the main building of the Black Lama Fortress. It is a two-story square flat-roofed house with a watchtower at each corner. The house has two doors and the door frames are made of bricks. There are rooms for bodyguards and Stables and storage rooms. Open the heavy door and enter the spacious hall. In the center of the hall is the fire pit. There is a stone step leading to the second floor, where the black lama's private rooms are located.
In the Black Lama's view, this is a dangerous place that is difficult to conquer even with intensive artillery fire: it occupies the entire eastern end of the valley, almost blocking the valley entrance surrounded by hills in the south. Entering the village gate is a cliff, narrow enough for only one person to pass through. Light artillery cannot be transported into the valley through the mountain pass, so it is impossible to bombard the fortress from the west.
But Wen Ganlun believed that although the terrain here seemed to be dangerous, it was of no use. He has experienced major battles and knows that there is another weapon in the world called a mortar, which is the natural enemy of this kind of stronghold. In his impression, the People's Army is capable of fighting and has many people. I heard that the Chinese young marshal gathered a team of nearly 20,000 people to wipe out the black lamas. If it hadn't been for the earthquake not long ago, their troops would have arrived.
The failure of the attack on the city gave him a preliminary understanding of the combat effectiveness of the People's Army. In the past few days, Zhang Zongchang's White Russian army had almost wiped out the entire army. Later he realized that they were just a miscellaneous army. With the configuration of their main force, there is no telling how many mortars and machine guns there will be. The Black Lama has absolutely no chance of winning on this point.
He did not think there was anything clever about the plan hatched by the Black Lama to attack the People's Army. Because for a truly modern army, fighting, traveling, and sleeping are all highly trained. If the 1st Battalion was defeated so easily, it would be its own shame.
It turns out that the Chinese army won the first round.
In an unfamiliar battlefield, in a place that was not conducive to defense, in the middle of the night, they defeated the sneak attack bandits. Calculated from the corpses that were later pulled out, the losses of the People's Army were not much, while the Black Lama's losses were relatively considerable.
Then, in mobile combat with the advantage of cavalry, the bandit army still could not open the camp of the People's Army. When faced with the sudden advance or retreat of heavy machine guns, the bandits basically kept a respectful distance. Judging from the feedback, this People's Army did not show any panic or pessimism when it fell into an unfavorable situation.
Not only that, they also inadvertently avoided the difficult and dangerous retreat and chose to storm the Black Lama's lair. This tactical determination to risk death and survive was terrifying. He believed that even if the Black Lama finally won the defense battle, he would be burned by the fire of revenge of the Chinese army.
“Hmph, it’s impregnable! Throughout the ages, there is no permanently impregnable position in this world! In terms of equipment, morale, logistics, combat effectiveness, and the number of troops, the Black Lama is far from being comparable to the Chinese army. Is it just because the mountains are high that the emperor is far away?
In the past, it was because others couldn’t take care of this place that he was able to dominate the family. Now I heard that the young marshal had already set off to sacrifice the flag a year ago, and an army of 20,000 people flattened this place just by walking!
Rather than being surrounded and annihilated, Baron Wen Ganlun strongly came up with the idea of ????escape from this place. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The emperor is far away?

The Black Lama's confidence is somewhat justified. At least Dong Yanping and the others took a breath of cold air when they saw this fortress.
There are high and low hills all around, surrounded by a winding stone road. In some places, there is no room for two horses traveling side by side. At the end of the road, there is a thick-looking village gate. Next to it are countless shadowy human heads hidden in simple fortifications made of stone. This terrain greatly restricted the infantry's charge and allowed the defenders to maximize their firepower.
A strong attack will inevitably lead to great losses.
Without attacking, the People's Army has no retreat.
The first company was ordered to make a feint attack, and was forced to stop a hundred steps away from the village gate. It also lost five men. It was concluded that it could not move forward unless it broke through the unobstructed 100-meter open space in front. It was absolutely wise for the Black Lama to build the fortifications here, leaving the other party with no other option but to use human lives to fill them.
Of course there is still a way, but this way is basically non-existent, that is to use cannons. A 75mm artillery shell can definitely blow the village gate to pieces, or use a mortar to attack the bandits hiding behind the pile of rocks. But in this place, cannons can definitely be delivered. Mortars are possible, but far water cannot quench near thirst.
Dong Yanping, his two deputies and several company commanders discussed for a long time, but they couldn't find a good solution. It was getting dark at this time, and another day passed. Every moment that passes, we are closer to the safety warning line of the entire camp’s water resources. What is even more worrying is that two seriously injured people passed away on the eve of dawn because their injuries worsened.
It seems that we have to make some progress tomorrow no matter what. If we can't take the bunker, the whole camp will be dead. So the first company commander volunteered: "Batalion Commander, let the first company go first tomorrow and capture the village gate at all costs. Even if we kill them all and cripple them, we can still save the 1st Battalion!"
Dong Yanping was very moved. There was no better way, just use human life to fill it! he thinks. "Tomorrow, all six machine guns will be mobilized to suppress fire. The first company will charge first, and the second company will follow closely. We must capture this door!" He shook his arm vigorously towards the sky.
Morning in the Gobi comes later than in the interior. It was just dawn, and the pocket watch showed it was six o'clock. At this time, the 1st company, which was ordered to be the main attack force, was ready to go. Early in the morning, when people are most sleepy, it is also one of the best times to attack.
Last night, the 1st company commander and instructor had already carried out pre-war mobilization, and the whole company knew that it was facing an extremely dangerous situation. After experiencing yesterday's feint attack, everyone knows what this main attack means, it is the rhythm of the death squad! While waiting for the order to charge, the military camp was filled with a solemn and solemn atmosphere.
Dong Yanping's eyes were already covered with a thin layer of mist. He didn't know how many of these lively officers and soldiers would be left after the bugle sounded. If he was given another chance to choose, he would definitely make a decision before acting and would never be so hasty.
Everything is ready and the machine gunners are in place. After a while, with the roar of machine guns, the 1st Company will use corpses and blood to clear the way for the entire battalion on this trail that is only a hundred meters away.
Just when Dong Yanping was about to order the attack, intensive gunshots were heard in the distance. It continues, stirring in the hearts of Dong Yanping and others. What happened? Dong Yanping didn't know, but he knew that he had missed the opportunity to attack, or in other words, the gunshot ruined his offensive plan.
Is it your own reinforcements? Most likely. At the time of departure, the regiment commander was in Wuwei. He only made the decision according to the previous established plan. It was most likely that the regiment commander sent additional reinforcements after knowing the news that he was alone in the depths.
Or is it internal strife among the bandits? I know that the bandits on Mazong Mountain opposite are composed of three different forces: the Black Lamas, the remnants of the Asian Cavalry Division, and the western Mongolian bandits. They have different mentality and it is normal for them to have different ideas. But in the face of a powerful enemy, isn’t it strange that they are fighting among themselves? Judging from the fact that the bandits on the opposite side were also poking around, they didn't seem to understand, so it didn't seem like it.
Since he didn’t know the truth, he ordered the attack to be suspended and sent someone to check the information.
Has it been an hour or half an hour? In Dong Yanping's anxiety, he finally received some good news that surprised him. As promised, reinforcements did come; but they were shocked because the reinforcements were not from the People's Army, but from distant Mongolia.
The White Russian Legion! Zhang Zongchang’s troops!
Another hour later, it was already certain, because at this time Zhang Zongchang, who was dressed in military uniform and had a tall horse, rushed towards the residence of the 1st Battalion under the escort of hundreds of tall White Russian soldiers. Although they didn't know each other, Dong Yanping was undoubtedly in a cheerful mood at this time. Zhang Zongchang's feats in Mongolia were greatly praised by the young marshal.?The Northwest People's Army internally announced the praise.
He doesn’t have any sectarian views. He is the “White Russian Army Corps” personally gifted by the young marshal and is a branch of the People’s Army. Besides, although Zhang Zongchang was not favored by the old Feng clan, he still held the position of commander with solid military achievements. He was also a major general before, which was much higher than himself.
Dong Yanping saluted Zhang Zongchang according to the rules, but Zhang Zongchang did not dare to be the leader. Subconsciously, he felt a little inferior. It was Zhang Hanqing who gave him the chance to continue to survive. In addition, in line with the mentality of taking credit but not being arrogant, he must express his humility at this time.
It should be said that Zhang Zongchang is a very smart person. After Zhang Hanqing personally appointed him as the commander of the White Russian Army and the garrison of Mengxi, while suppressing the bandits, he began to think about his future. Mongolia is sparsely populated, and Western Meng has little oil and water, which is extremely detrimental to his development. However, Zhang Hanqing was the patrol envoy to Shaanxi and Gansu, and the four provinces outside the Great Wall were also placed under the old Fengclan represented by Zhang Zuolin and the new Fengcian represented by Zhang Hanqing and implemented civil rule, which gave him little scope for activities.
At this time, Zhang Hanqing’s plan to enter Xinjiang inspired him: in the entire northwest region, the only place not under Zhang Hanqing’s rule was Xinjiang. It is obvious that Zhang Hanqing's next target is Central China and North China. Since there are not many troops stationed in Xinjiang, this vacuum zone is preconceived.
By suppressing bandits, he gradually transferred the main force of the White Russian Army to the Gansu-Mongolia-Tibet border. He had already made plans. If the young marshal wanted to suppress bandits, he would help him, and then he would shamelessly follow him into Xinjiang no matter what. The young marshal will definitely not stay for a long time in the future, so it is foreseeable that his request to carve out a piece of territory in Xinjiang will fail.
"It cannot be said that his wishful thinking was not shrewd, but man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation. The Haiyuan earthquake broke out, and Zhang Hanqing was busy with disaster relief and had no time to talk about entering Xinjiang. This made him anxious. His nearly 10,000 men eat horse chews, and the daily cost is not small. However, in the impoverished western Mongolia, it is definitely unrealistic to rely on Kulun for all supplies, and the Xinjiang defenders do not like him, and it is difficult to get along with the People's Army in the Guan. I was in a dilemma for a while.
At this time, God gave a good opportunity, and Dong Yanping took the initiative to suppress the bandits. After receiving the news, Zhang Zongchang immediately mobilized more than 2,000 cavalry, preparing to join forces with them to wipe out the bandit gang that threatened the northwest before the young marshal arrived. With this great achievement, it is a gift package for entering Xinjiang. Due to poor information and logistical preparations, it took several days to approach the northern foot of Mazong Mountain.
Since the only entrance and exit was in the south of Shannan, when we sent people to conduct reconnaissance, they discovered that the Black Lama had placed bandit troops on the outside, so they took action as soon as they disagreed. Zhang Zongchang had been suppressing bandits for several months and had probably figured out the bandits' habits. He knew that early morning was the best time to take action, so he and Dong Yanping coincided with each other.
His White Russian regiments are all battle-hardened cavalry, and they are suitable for dealing with bandits. However, the timing is too coincidental. He had a good time, but Dong Yanping's plan was disrupted.
However, Dong Yanping did not mean to blame him. His plan was a helpless move and was destined to lose troops and generals. Now, Zhang Zongchang swept away the periphery, making his situation immediately improve. If you advance, you will have an advantage against the Black Lama by joining forces; if you retreat, the Black Lama will not have the guts to pursue you again.
So he said to Zhang Zongchang very happily: "Commander Zhang has helped me a lot. These bandits are like candies, they can't be beaten away. I was thinking of finishing the battle this time, but failed, here is The burial place of my 1st Battalion is here.”
Zhang Zongchang laughed and said: "I, Lao Zhang, also took advantage of Commander Dong. These bandits were also forced by you to camp in the wild. I killed hundreds of them in a sneak attack. I usually want to concentrate so many." There's no way for people to do that." Although he didn't know much about literacy, he understood a truth: if you don't have to pay lip service to your kindness, you'd be at a disadvantage. According to his knowledge, hello, me, everyone, some kindness will be remembered in the stomach. Historically, he, a rough man, was able to win over so many subordinates to work for him, and it was impossible without two brushes.
Both of them are guest soldiers, and there are not many tricks to talk about. After a while, they talked about how to destroy this bandit army. Preliminary calculations showed that the two sides combined forces of more than 2,000, not only surpassing the Black Lama in numbers, but also not inferior in vital cavalry strength. In this way, after the two people combined, a combat plan was formed.
Zhang Zongchang's cavalry troops are responsible for the outer perimeter, to eliminate all bandits still roaming the Black Gobi and completely cut off their contact with the outside world; Dong Yanping's infantry is responsible for besieging the bandits in the bunker and blocking their escape channels. Regardless of the inconvenience of machine gun attack, it is more than enough to block the route of the Mazong Mountain bandits.
Then send out correspondents to mobilize some easily portable mortars from the main force. This consideration is purely tactical. After all, using human lives to fill gun holes violates the command principle and is unnecessary under the current situation. The good news for Dong Yanping is that Zhang Zongchang brought a large amount of supplies with him, which could give him reassurance for his siege strategy.
From being encircled to counter-encircling, the People's Army completely took the initiative in the battle, and the balance of victory quickly fell on the side of the People's Army. No matter how difficult the next attack may be, one thing is certain, the bandit suppression army is already in an invincible position.

Chapter 503 Three families attack
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
There is an ongoing debate in "Bayinbuluke".
The battle situation changed so quickly that the Black Lama did not expect that the situation that was originally a sure victory would be suddenly destroyed by Zhang Zongchang's cavalry who killed him in mid-air. Not only were the horse bandits on the periphery beaten to a pulp, the People's Army also set up machine guns in front of the stronghold and set up a siege posture. Originally, he wanted to use the geographical convenience to consume the lives of the People's Army. Now it seems that the final result is very likely that his people will have to brave the firepower of the People's Army to break out.
The word "breakout" has been mentioned several times by Baron Wen Ganlun. It was previously used to mean switching to fighting or giving up.
Lie Zuxin was also helping Wen Ganlun with his opinions. He said: "We don't have heavy firepower, and we will suffer a big loss in a head-to-head exchange of fire with the Chinese army. They are encircling and not fighting now, and they are probably just deploying artillery. Without foreign aid, there will be no The news is that we are waiting to die here. The best way now is to break out of the encirclement and advance towards Xinjiang while their footing is unstable. Mr. Baron’s opinion is very pertinent. Xinjiang has great potential, so we can only sit back and wait for death here!"
He was the actual commander of the Asian Cavalry Division at the time, and he was very skilled in military arts.
The black lama also felt bad. When Wen Ganlun and others came to submit, he could see that they still had some strength. After all, they were a regular army and had seen blood in several years of war. Otherwise, the reputation of the Asian Cavalry Division would not be so great. But just such an army was beaten to pieces by the White Russian Legion.
Now, the opponent has arrived at the city, and he has a large number of people. If he didn't have a little confidence in the location, I'm afraid he would be the first to run away.
He believes that now is not a good time to escape: "If you leave such a strong fortress undefended, the general will not be a match for the Han army in the vast Gobi Desert. Even if you enter Xinjiang, won't they pursue you? My opinion is to use the land The advantage will consume the enemy. If it is impossible to defend in the end, it will not be too late to wait for an opportunity to break out. How can there be any reason to flee when the enemy is seen? Wouldn't that become what the Han people call fleeing?"
Wen Ganlun sneered and said, "There's nothing wrong with running away. What I'm afraid of is that everyone will be crowded here and be eaten by others! Isn't there a saying in China that 'catching a turtle in a urn', how long can we hold on if we are huddled here?"
The Black Lama was still arrogant: "The terrain here is very dangerous, and the road to the entrance of Guangzhai cannot be saved without thousands of lives. Besides, I have food and water here, which is enough to last more than half a year. The Chinese army can't even get in!" "
Wen Ganlun frowned and said dissatisfied: "What about half a year later? We can't place our hopes on the Chinese army's retreat! Besides, in my opinion, although this place is dangerous, it is far from impregnable. That village Door, one cannonball is enough!"
The Black Lama shook his head and said, "Mr. Baron, this is the Gobi, not the Siberian Plateau. The Chinese army has artillery, but how did they transport it here? There are high mountains in the west and north, and birds can't fly over; It’s difficult for people to walk in the valley, let alone transporting cannons here?”
Seeing that he was unreasonable, Wen Ganlun said angrily: "It's difficult to get in the artillery - but what about the mortars? What about the heavy machine guns? As long as the Chinese army is determined to destroy them, the current bunkers will not be able to function!" He has personally experienced a battle, and he knows more than one and a half stars more about the uses of these weapons than the Black Lama does?
The other Mongolian bandit leaders Bashichi, Kegorodov, Kazantsev and others are attached to each other: the Russians mostly agree with Wen Ganlun, and the Mongolians still respect the black lama Hutubatu. Deadlock.
However, the Black Lama had many people, and he did not agree with a breakout. Wen Ganlun and others would not be stupid enough to use their few hundred remaining men to fight the People's Army head-on. The final result could only be to agree to the Black Lama's suggestion: wait Wait and see.
So, at the foot of Mazong Mountain, the two forces, both of which had large armed forces, faced off at the mountain pass. The Black Lama has withdrawn all the armed forces wandering outside the fort - there are not many that can be gathered. Zhang Zongchang's White Russian Army is really bloodthirsty. I heard that before the war, he gave a bounty: a bandit 10 A big ocean, 50 big oceans for a boss, and a thousand rewards for catching or killing Black Lama, Wen Ganlun, etc.
The Belarusian army is a group of ruffians who have no country and no ideals. Many of them have the mentality of being drunk now, and their desire for money is surprisingly strong, so they are also extremely passionate about military success.
After the unprecedented success of the surprise attack on the bandit army, most of the bandit army has been dispersed or disabled. Some people are still not satisfied and go to the Gobi for "hunting" in twos and threes. As descendants of Cossacks, they have excellent riding skills and strong fighting qualities and will. Ordinary stragglers are simply prey.
For several days, after all the horse bandits in the Gobi Desert were wiped out, Mazong Mountain was already deserted.?Completely cut off from the outside world. What the gangsters who were waiting to severely inflict heavy damage on the People's Army and then escape would not have imagined that their good days were about to come.
The reinforcements of the People's Army have arrived, and they bring with them a combination that is absolutely invincible in the northwest: cavalry, heavy machine guns and mortars.
This is the army led by Zhang Hanqing himself. When he heard that the Jiuquan garrison had left the border without authorization to suppress the bandits, it was already Dong Yanping's third day out of the border. He immediately ordered the first section of the 4th Cavalry Division to send troops northward, and ordered all the garrison troops from Lanzhou to Jiuquan to immediately hand over disaster relief and aftermath work. With the local government, switch to full-time combat mode.
Along the ancient Silk Road, there are tens of thousands of people walking everywhere at the same time in Hula Ladi, adding security to this glorious road that has been left to future generations by ancestors for thousands of years. With the Black Lama bandits in the Black Gobi being contained in their lair, the Gansu-Xinjiang Passage was restored. The 4th Division traveled simultaneously, and the vanguard entered Jiuquan on the 10th, and then took a short rest before marching towards the Black Gobi. At this time, the last infantry baggage unit of the 2nd Division had just left Lanzhou City.
The original deployment was temporarily modified slightly. Zhang Chengde's 4th Cavalry Division was mainly responsible for annihilating the Black Lama troops and then switching to logistics mode to prepare supplies and survey routes for the 2nd Infantry Division to enter Xinjiang.
Therefore, Zhang Chengde arranged a cavalry regiment and two mortar companies as the main force to suppress bandits, plus an infantry battalion of local garrison, and the rest of the army was preparing to enter Xinjiang. In his opinion, it would be shameful if so many troops could not defeat or even annihilate the Mazong Mountain bandit army.
Indeed, combined with Dong Yanping's and Zhang Zongchang's troops, the People's Army and the White Russian Army dispatched more than 4,000 people, plus two mortar companies and a heavy machine gun company, which has formed an overwhelming advantage over the Black Lama troops, whether it is In terms of numbers, firepower or mobility. In order to better pool resources, the three parties established the Mazhong Mountain Bandit Suppression Headquarters, with Zhang Chengde as the commander-in-chief.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off Mazong Mountain, the people are not aware of this, they are still imagining relying on danger to defend. Some people, like the guest Wen Ganlun, wanted to leave, but were unable to make the final decision because they were not familiar with the place.
Zhang Chengde knew Zhang Hanqing’s strategic plan. The entry into Xinjiang was just an episode on the way forward for the People’s Army, so why would he waste his energy and time on the Black Lama? With so many people at his disposal, he was determined to make a quick decision and get down to business. As soon as they met, they made a decisive battle plan and attacked the enemy early the next morning.
After a night of silence, the besieged Black Lama and other bandits did not dare to continue any plans to harass due to the lack of external news. In the face of absolute superiority, Dong Yanping's troops, the first batch to enter the mountain, slept soundly for the first time.
A mortar company of the People's Army has 3 platoons and 9 squads, equipped with a total of 9 60mm mortars. There were two such mortar companies entering the Gobi this time. In the early morning, 18 guns were deployed in a row, giving the infantry officers and soldiers responsible for the attack full of confidence.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Following the order, bursts of light smoke rose from the valley, and then artillery shells flew out from the heads of the bandit-suppressing officers and soldiers and headed towards the opposite position. In this kind of mountainous area, direct fire on targets behind the mountain has little effect, unless it is a howitzer with parabolic trajectory, which the People's Army has not yet equipped. Only this kind of mortar with direct fire is very effective.
18 mortars | 15 landed in the fortifications in front of the village gate. Following a violent explosion, the bandits who were defending themselves never dreamed that they would be hit by artillery shells deep in the mountains. Although their power is far inferior to that of cannons in the usual sense, the power of steel gunpowder cannot be resisted by the physical body.
It killed more than 20 people on the spot and injured a lot of people. This was not over yet. The artillery that had adjusted the coordinates fired a second round as ordered. During the gap between explosions, the infantry responsible for attacking the enemy had already rushed out. The wailing bandit army had no one to organize defense at all. They subconsciously folded their heads and fell to the ground when they heard the roaring mortars | shells.
The resistance is basically very small, so the casualties are also very small. Almost in the blink of an eye, this passage, which Dong Yanping's infantry initially regarded as a road to death, was opened. The People's Army's position moved forward hundreds of meters and was already close to the bunker group.
The continuous explosions shocked the Black Lama and others who were still sleeping soundly. When he learned that the People's Army had used mortars to attack the fortifications he relied on to boast, the Black Lama felt a strong sense of crisis.
Where did the Chinese army get its mortars? After fighting for ten days, the People's Army had machine guns. From Wen Ganlun and others, it was known that the White Russian Army that was later reinforced only had the advantage of cavalry. But suddenly, so many mortars were put into battle. Could it be that the Chinese army had reinforcements?
In the past, I was confident because machine guns could not break his fortifications. I didn’t expect that the People’s Army would mobilize mortars so quickly. This battle will be difficult to fight!
Wen Ganlun and Zulexin both looked at each other in confusion. A substandard White Russian Army had beaten them to pieces. Now that the legendary and more powerful People's Army has arrived, what should they choose next?
Wen Ganlun regretted a little. He should have left decisively when the White Russian Army arrived. Maybe he could still retain some strength there. But now that he didn't know what was true outside, he didn't dare to leave. I just don’t know how the Black Lama made his decision after hearing the news!
??Everyone turned their attention to the Black Lama, and some people were still lucky in their hearts, hoping that this legendary hero in the Gobi Desert could lead them to turn danger into disaster. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?

By this time, the debate in Mazong Mountain about whether to fight or leave had disappeared, and instead everyone was thinking about how to leave.
I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs running away. The black lama can make the people on the border between China, Russia and Mongolia fearful, and he still has some wisdom. As soon as the mortars fired, he knew that his base camp would be breached sooner or later.
Everyone has brought the cannons (forgive him for thinking of mortars as cannons). In the poor Northwest, which consists of Mongolia, Xinjiang and Gansu, it is not easy to be equipped with decent guns, let alone a guy like this who is even afraid of machine guns. ?), his simple bunker whose duty is to block gunfire is not enough.
Although there is another link to rely on, there is still a way to break it, it just takes a little longer, but looking at the posture of the Chinese army, they are determined to deal with themselves. Although the real sharp weapon cannon is difficult to transport, it can still be transported as long as enough time is given.
It is necessary to plan carefully before leaving, because the arrival of the White Russian Army, which is an army of cavalry, makes it impossible to use its original advantages. Originally, Black Lama's men were all cavalry, and running fast was one of the magic weapons for him to dominate the frontier.
The view in the early morning is quite good. Looking out from the bunker, we can see clearly for more than ten miles.
In the valley to the south, many red flags were planted here and there, and there were countless horses neighing and camels faintly honking. The movement under the eyes is the most intuitive. The dangerous fortification at the entrance of the village has been lost. A People's Army officer who looks like a commander is gesturing to the front, and several junior officers are talking seriously. Next to it, there were several machine guns spread out, and many people were carrying something dark.
? ? ? ? This is the rhythm of treating this place as the main battlefield of the war, but we are just bandits, okay?
The main leader and his party observed the enemy's situation with fear, and each thought in his mind: It is absolutely impossible to fight with firepower, and the cost of killing the infantry of the People's Army, which is considered to be meticulous, is too high;
Breaking out into the valley? Even Wen Ganlun, who was accustomed to fighting on the fly, believed that they would not have the upper hand against the White Russian Army, which also had excellent riding skills. They did not dare to repeat the same mistakes. The fact that they were driven thousands of kilometers some time ago was a vivid lesson.
On the side of the People's Army, Zhang Chengde was still very satisfied with the initial results of the People's Army, especially after a gunner just smashed the village gate to pieces. But then, a winding mountain road dumbfounded the officers and soldiers including the frontline commanding officers.
The mountain road does not look long, but with cliffs on one side and mountains on the other, it is so narrow that it can only accommodate one person. On the opposite mountain wall, the bandits dug several shooting holes, which were almost visible to the naked eye, but posed a real threat to the People's Army's attack. If we don't capture them, this road will be the real road of death, which is much more dangerous than the last fortification we captured.
This is the real hope of the Black Lama, so he has put a lot of effort into it. The People's Army also tried a few mortars, but due to the curved trajectory, they could not reach the edge of the shooting hole.
Heavy machine guns were also tried, but they only fired a string of sparks on the stone wall and dropped some fluttering rocks and soil. It seemed that these shooting holes were reinforced, and ordinary gunfire damage had no effect on them.
It’s such a good place, even Zhang Chengde was full of praise when he saw it in person.
If you are on flat ground, the infantry still has many options to think of. You can use wood, iron sheets and other obstacles to cover them and push forward. But it is already difficult for people to walk in this place. If we install some defensive devices, walking will be unstable, right? There is a cliff below!
Mortars can’t do it, and neither can machine guns, but the war still has to be fought, and the bandits still have to be suppressed. This natural danger cannot stop the People’s Army’s strategic plan. Zhang Chengde decided to launch a strong attack, but he also made certain arrangements.
The thirty selected suicide squad members temporarily built a scaffold with iron pots and wooden sticks. They obtained many quilts and blankets from the baggage area, poured water on the scaffold to serve as shields, and three team members got into the shield in groups. under. With the penetration capabilities of ordinary guns, the damage to them is minimal. In addition, heavy machine guns have been set up and are ready to be used for fire suppression.
The bandit troops in the bunker watched helplessly as the People's Army made this move, with no tears in their eyes. This became a copper pea that could not be steamed, cooked, beaten, exploded, or resounding like a copper pea, so how could it be chewed?
Even the Black Lama and others who were supervising the battle were speechless. For the defenders without machine guns, there was really nothing they could do to deal with such a walking lump. The rifles on the mountain wall were useless. Basically, if you are not worried about excessive casualties, it is not impossible to rush forward. In the past (later?), the conditions for the Eighteenth Red Army warriors to conquer the Dadu River were much more difficult than this. Didn't they also endure it?
The reason why the Black Lama thinks it is a natural danger is because it is impossible to organize so many people in the Gobi Desert.Judging from experience and the situation of this attack, the combat effectiveness and firepower of the bandits are very low, and the existing personnel are enough to trap them here and trap them to death. The Marshal just called and asked us to prepare for the entry into Xinjiang as soon as possible. I decided to still implement the "leapfrog" tactic and encircle this place instead of attacking. The priority is to enter Xinjiang first. "
Another figure, Zhang Zongchang, took up the task bravely: "Commander Zhang, leave the task of annihilating the bandits in Mazong Mountain to me, Lao Zhang. My 'White Russian Army' has successively defeated the Northeastern bandits, the Asian Cavalry Division and the Mongolian bandits. , very experienced in suppressing bandits. I, Lao Zhang, is the garrison envoy of Western Mengxi, and it is also my responsibility to annihilate this group of Mongolian bandits!"
?????????????????????? Well, the “White Russian Legion” has this heart, so it’s okay to leave this place to them, so that the troops entering Xinjiang can have their hands free to work with peace of mind. According to his judgment, the combat power of the "White Russian Army" was enough to suppress the bandits. This road was the only way to enter Xinjiang from Gansu. Zhang Zongchang's logistical supplies were not a problem. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 505 Leaving the Fortress
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Entering Xinjiang, especially with large troops entering Xinjiang, is not an easy task.
When Zuo Zongtang first entered Xinjiang, facing the uninhabited Hexi Corridor, which was more than 1,000 kilometers from Lanzhou to Hami, he formulated the strategy of "advance slowly and attack quickly", that is, he first set up camps on this journey, raised food and grass, and then Advance westward step by step.
This strategy seems to be very correct today. Imagine that if you attack in a hurry, the food and grass cannot be replenished, and the soldiers cannot rest and recuperate. Even if you achieve a certain amount of military success, you will lose it and have to retreat.
Zhang Hanqing thought so too.
The main task of the 4th Division is to establish a logistics base between Jiuquan and Hami in advance to protect the infantry coming from afar. Therefore, after receiving the order, Zhang Chengde decisively gave up the attack on the Mazhong Mountain bandit army and instead focused on siege and focused on business.
The main goal of entering Xinjiang this time is to subdue Yang Zengxin. With the opponent's strength, dispatching the 2nd Division and the 4th Cavalry Division will only serve as an intimidation, not a fight. Therefore, all the heavy weapons that fettered the march, such as the divisional artillery battalion of the 2nd Division, did not follow. This is also the reason why Zhang Hanqing's ministries move extremely fast.
Starting from Lanzhou to Jiuquan and walking along the ancient Silk Road, Zhang Hanqing's heart grew colder and colder as he walked. The area of ??more than 1,000 kilometers from Lanzhou to Dihua (Urumqi) is dry, rainless and sparsely populated. It can be said to be the most barren area in my country.
However, from the perspective of strategic channels, it is extremely important. Because it is like a thread and a pole that connects the mainland with the Western Region and Central Asia. So how to implement the development of the more than 1,000 kilometers of Hexi Corridor between Lanzhou and Dihua?
China’s topography is divided into three layers. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, edged by the Kunlun Mountains, Altyn Mountains, Qilian Mountains and the Western Sichuan Mountains, has become an insurmountable natural barrier for my country’s east-west transportation. However, by coincidence, under the squeeze of the towering Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the south and the Mongolian Plateau inhabited by nomadic people in the north, a natural strategic channel connecting the inland and Western Central Asia - the Hexi Corridor - was formed.
Looking through history, you will notice that the Silk Road, which lasted for more than two thousand years, used the Hexi Corridor as its only passage. This lifeline was intermittent under the harassment of ethnic minorities from the north and the south.
Accompanying Zhang Hanqing were Wang Yizhe and Xu Lanzhou. It was their first time to walk through such a desolate place, and what impressed them most was the desolation.
"I didn't expect that we had been riding for ten days. We had made adequate preparations for the logistics and supplies along the way, and we had just walked out of Jiayu Pass! Thinking about how the ancients walked this stretch of road, it is really shameful. Such a desolate place, no one can say ' The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass." This is Wang Yizhe's heartfelt emotion.
Zhang Hanqing was in a good mood at this time. I have always wanted to visit Xinjiang in my previous life, but due to the long distance and more importantly, I have heard all kinds of legends about Xinjiang and I am worried about safety issues, I have never been able to make the trip. Now, as the commander-in-chief of the People's Army, he will have the opportunity to set foot on this land in person, and his mood will certainly be different.
He smiled and said: "That was in ancient times. Ever since Zuo Zongtang pacified Xinjiang, the spring breeze had already entered the country. It seems that Yang Changrui, the governor of Zhejiang, visited the northwest after Zuo Zongtang entered Xinjiang and saw green trees and fruits everywhere. It is a beautiful scenery where people of all ethnic groups live and work in peace and contentment. The poem "Respectfully Reciting Zuo Gong's Westward Journey to Gantang" says, "The general's army has not yet returned, and the descendants of Hunan and Hunan are all over the Tianshan Mountains. Three thousand new willows have been planted, attracting the spring breeze to Yuguan." This I am afraid that the wind was brought about by him leading his troops all the way to the west while not forgetting to plant trees and build roads. Think about it, Marshal Zuo is not only good at using troops, but also engaged in economic construction. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for us to enter Xinjiang."
In order to enter Xinjiang, Zhang Hanqing did enough homework. Not only does he have many plans for the future of Xinjiang, but he is also involved in the cultural allusions and historical legends of this generation.
Wang Yizhe and Zhang Hanqing had been getting along for a long time, and they liked each other very well in private. Seeing that Zhang Hanqing was in a good mood, he dropped the subject and said, "Young Marshal is amazingly talented. It seems that Yumen Pass has left some masterpieces at least, so as not to let others go." Marshal Zuo is not only more beautiful than before, but also adds an interesting story on the Silk Road."
This young marshal often has amazing works, whether new or old poems, they all have a magical touch, and he also wants to see them with his own eyes.
Zhang Hanqing, however, knows his own family affairs, and he has no new works about Yumen Pass in his mind. It would take a lot of effort for him to write one, and if he accidentally ruins his reputation as a "generation of poets", it will be greatly It's not good. However, in this atmosphere, there seems to be room for a roundabout change. He smiled and said: "There are no masterpieces, but I do remember an interesting allusion."
Everyone was bored while walking and wanted to hear this allusion.
"Far above the Yellow River, among the white clouds, there is an isolated city of Wanren Mountain. Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not reach Yumen Pass. This poem??Han Qing was in the limelight, conquering Kuowei, Zhongzhong Road, Hulunbuir, and Mongolia, and had already established the image of a little national hero among the Chinese people; fighting in Yinchuan, Pinglanzhou, and Fuxi'an, his troops were invincible, making Zhizhi The Anhui and Anhui cliques are all deeply feared, and the People's Army has been listed as one of the strongest forces in China at the time;
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? their lives their their lives What could he do to resist such a powerful team?
Yang Zengxin felt that his troops were weak and unable to defend against the enemy, and a similar power crisis reappeared in front of him. Three years ago, he successfully defused Arenkov's attack. Can he find a way to solve it this time?
"But Zhang Hanqing is not Alian Kuofu. He is determined to conquer the world. How can he lose his will in the gentle countryside?" Similarly, the battle-hardened 2nd Division is not comparable to the "Black Lama" Danbijiasan. It is the army of the well-known and upright King Division and his immediate superior!
Thinking of this, Yang Zengxin regretted that he should not have implemented the troop reduction immediately after Xinjiang calmed down a bit. Although the number of troops was reduced from more than 18,000 to less than 10,000, which reduced military expenditures and greatly reduced the burden on the people, it also resulted in a serious shortage of military personnel and an obvious inability to manage nearly one-sixth of China's vast land.

Chapter 506 Attacking the Fortress

Hearing that the young marshal had arrived at Yumen, Zhang Zongchang and Zhang Chengde, who were responsible for suppressing bandits, told their deputies and immediately went to meet him.
It is still puzzling that the bandits in Mazong Mountain have been unable to attack for a long time. However, since the news of the siege of Dahei Lama came out, the feedback from the surrounding areas was quite happy, which made Zhang Hanqing change his mind. It turns out that this group of gangsters has caused so much trouble! And this group of gangsters can withstand beatings so well!
"Wouldn't it be better to wait for the large army to come over and go and completely deal with this group of bandits?" In this way, wouldn't it be a good meeting gift for Yang Zengxin and the people of Xinjiang if the People's Army goes out to deal with this figure who has frightened the people in the northwest frontier fortress?
Zhang Chengde and others had dusty faces along the way. Before they could rest, they attended Zhang Hanqing's military meeting. He first introduced the situation and said: "Young Marshal, we have deployed three groups of troops one after another and basically eliminated the horse bandits wandering in the Gobi. Now we have trapped the bandits in Mazong Mountain. But because their bunkers are too dangerous, a strong attack is necessary. We have to pay a huge price, so we are not good at attacking once by force, and adopt the method of siege and waiting for change.
We have discussed that the plan for the main force of the People's Army to enter Xinjiang remains unchanged, and Commander Zhang will be responsible for the subsequent suppression of bandits and his regiment. Commander Zhang has strong soldiers and horses. As long as the bandits dare to come out, they will be completely wiped out. "
Zhang Zongchang originally had the intention to show off his power in front of Zhang Hanqing, so why not take over everything? He patted his chest and said, "Young Marshal, you don't need to worry about this bandit army. I'm fully responsible for it. I don't dare to delay your plan to enter Xinjiang." As for why Zhang Hanqing was eager to enter Xinjiang, he didn't understand it at all, but he didn't hinder his high emotional intelligence.
Zhang Hanqing is also wondering in his heart, why is this idiot general in history, Zhang Zongchang, whom he dislikes from the bottom of his heart, so hard to hate? As the commander-in-chief of a party, he cannot not appreciate his positive behavior because of his personal preferences. Cao Cao knew the principle of "when Zhou Hui spits out food, the world will return to its heart", how could he stop people from all over the world from being close to him because of this? Zhang Zongchang is an example of his thirst for talent!
He smiled and praised Zhang Zongchang, which made the latter feel extremely warm in his heart. However, since it was decided to capture the Black Lama as soon as possible, I can only express verbal praise for Zhang Zongchang's enthusiasm.
"When I came this time, the artillery battalion did not follow me, but fortunately Commander Song's infantry artillery were all there. From what Commander Zhang said, it seems that the infantry artillery can have an effect on the attack? If so, we will simply take this Bandits, don’t let them get in the way here—we have to clean them up anyway.”
This made Zhang Chengde very happy: "With this thing, I am confident that I can take down Mazong Mountain in one go!"
Without further ado, Song Jiuling prepared two infantry cannons, both of which were 37mm caliber iron lumps. This is one of the most commonly equipped heavy weapons in the hands of warlords across China. It has two wheels and is easy to push or tow. In the Gobi Desert, it is most suitable for infantry fire support. Generally, the 75mm guns currently equipped by the Fengjun and the People's Army cannot be used here at all.
Considering that the main purpose is to deal with the village gate, two gates are enough. As for the casualties of personnel, the existing mortars and machine guns are enough to kill the bandits. It took 20 mules and one hundred people's army soldiers to pull these two cannons to the foot of Mazong Mountain in the afternoon of the next day. Regardless of the fact that it was getting late, Zhang Chengde personally supervised the battle and deployed the attack plan.
The battlefield that had been resting for a few days suddenly became noisy again, and cheers came from the People's Army defense line not far away. The bandits who were in charge of the lookout watched the crowd in the distance and the two cannons carried by the horses slowly walking towards this side, and couldn't help but scream in shock.
The biggest nemesis of the bunker, the cannon, is here! The news spread instantly to every corner of the fort. The bandits from all walks of life who had become trapped beasts also came out eagerly to find out what was going on. Even the black lama was shocked by the news.
The Chinese army is about to attack! An emergency deployment meeting was held. The Black Lama encouraged the leaders of several parties and said: "I didn't expect that the Chinese really brought the cannons. It seems that we have to plan carefully how to defend. What I mean is that the three of us took turns sending out manpower to strictly guard the gate of the village. ——Although the Chinese army has artillery, it doesn't matter. We seal the gates of the villages with stones, and our fortresses are all made of stones, so their cannons are useless here."
Wen Ganlun sneered in his heart. When the Black Lama showed off his fortifications before, he also said that it was difficult to advance with wings. Wouldn’t it be easy for the People’s Army to enter without wings? However, this is not a really good time. It is best for everyone to work together to overcome the difficulties at hand. He glanced at the black lama and responded knowingly: "Yes, guard the gate of the village. Even if the Chinese have thousands of troops, it won't be a problem. I suggest that General Bashiqi and other generals lead the defense on the first day. Although my troops Being good at maneuvering but also being able to work through the hard times with everyone is fine the next day.”
He said to the black lama: "Just letAfter a while, another shell came over.
This time there were finally casualties. Several soldiers who were carrying stones were beaten and three died on the spot. Another one was blown away, two had their limbs cut off, and one had his intestines thrown out.
It’s just dead. The ones who were blown up were still breathing when they were found. The ones whose limbs were blown off made the loudest moans. On the contrary, the ones whose intestines were expelled only groaned and made the least movement. But seeing how uncomfortable he was, there was only one sound left in silence.
Seeing the miserable situation of their colleagues, all the bandits felt miserable. Some of these Mengxi bandits originally became bandits just to make a living. They believed that being a bandit was a promising career and did not want to suffer this fate.
For the first time, someone had a different thought in his mind. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 507 Strange Thoughts
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Seeing that the hole was tending to expand, Basic couldn't wait any longer. The bandit army's inefficiency made him very anxious: "You guys are a bunch of trash! How many of our brothers did that Chinese general's army kill along the way? The bunker was broken. Can we have a good ending? Why don’t we block the hole quickly?”
He is talking about Zhang Zongchang.
This commander, who was neither fish nor fowl within the Fengcian system, had made great efforts in Mongolia for Zhang Hanqing's cause of suppressing bandits. After the "leapfrog" tactic was used, the bandits trapped in the encirclement met an extremely tragic end: starving to death, being beaten to death, or dying of injuries was considered a good thing. The old man's method of dealing with captured bandits is heart-stopping.
Beheading and shooting are all out of the question. Cutting open the intestines, disemboweling the body, and trampling the body with five horses are just some tricks to torture people. Anyway, he doesn’t have a good impression of the Mongols, and he is not prepared to gain support here. Perhaps his cruel nature cannot be released in the circle of followers, and here he can finally do whatever he wants.
This is also one of the reasons why the Mengxi gang has existed for decades and was almost wiped out by him in one day: the price of being a bandit is too high. This was one of the reasons why Basic and others took the risk to leave their nest and escape Mongolia with Baron Wen Ganlun: he really didn't want to face the lunatic Zhang Zongchang.
Under Basic’s strict order, the bandits had no choice but to block the hole, but they were obviously afraid of the stones that still had the blood and flesh residue of their teammates. The howling wind outside the door can scare a group of people to the ground.
Seeing this, Basic was very angry. The hole will get bigger and bigger. If it is not blocked as soon as possible, once the People's Army launches an attack from the gap, the defensive advantage will be lost and the situation will be one-sided.
He picked up the riding crop and tried to whip the man lying on the ground in front of him. At this time, his eyes suddenly lit up, followed by a sharp pain, and then he saw his body getting farther and farther away from his eyes. The moment he was still conscious, he seemed to hear someone shouting: "Leader Basic is dead!"
When the other two Mongolian bandit leaders Kegorodov and Kazantsev arrived, they saw that Bashic’s head and body had been separated, and a piece of shrapnel had cut off the connection between them.
With grief, the two Russian leaders in a foreign land found them together and closed the eyes of Basic, a long-time comrade.
The war is still going on, and now is not the time to be lyrical. Braving the attacks of the People's Army infantry artillery shells one after another, the bandits had to block the holes over and over again, and the casualties gradually became heavier.
Almost every stone was stained with the blood and flesh of the gangsters, which made the gangsters feel more and more depressed. If night had not begun to fall and the black lama saw that the situation was not good, he personally arranged for his people to take over temporarily. Such a depressing scene can make people crazy.
The two infantry cannons killed at least hundreds of people. The most important thing was that they broke the confidence of the bandits to defend themselves.
After the People's Army closed its artillery, they got a big loudspeaker from nowhere and shouted at the bunker: "Our cannons are still coming. We will not withdraw our troops unless we break this bunker! From now on, those who surrender will be spared death and will be captured alive." Those who kill Black Lama, Wen Ganlun and other bandit leaders will be rewarded heavily!"
The death of Basic made the Mongolian bandits have strange thoughts. Even Russian bandits such as Kegorodov and Kazantsev also believed that the Black Lama deliberately let their group die to preserve their strength. Fortunately, the People's Army withdrew its troops and they finally no longer had to guard the gate. However, this resentment had grown and the atmosphere in the castle became tense.
After several major battles, there were not many bandits left in the bunker who could fight. From the loss of more than 200 people in the night attack, no less than 300 rangers were swept away by Zhang Zongchang, more than 50 were killed and wounded by mortars, and hundreds of people were cleared back and forth by this round of infantry artillery, more than half of the bandit army Already lost his life. Faced with this situation of being obviously passive and being beaten, everyone has to think about the way forward.
The Black Lama has already thought about it.
More than half of the believers loyal to him have been killed or injured, and the remaining ones are either useless at work or simply not in his eyes. In a short battle today, the Mengxi bandits suffered almost all casualties. This made the remaining bandits have different intentions. Especially the phrase "surrender without killing" confuses many who are not determined.
??According to this trend, it is certain that the Chinese army will capture the castle with one attack tomorrow.
In broad daylight, he was not sure he could escape the cavalry of the White Russian Legion. Their riding skills were as terrifying as the elite Mongolian cavalry. Only at night can we avoid the Chinese army and the White Russian cavalry who are not good at night fighting.
He said to his adjutant: "Oqier, please feed my horses and dogs well so that they are full."
The man named Ochier is a young bandit leader. He is also an important assistant of the Black Lama. He lives next door to him all year round and plays the role of bodyguard and assistant. In history, he was the Jahaqin Beile mentioned many times by foreign explorers, and his full name was Kampot. Ochier.
Zaha means border, Qin means defense, and together they mean guarding the border. At that time, Zahaqin was the person who guarded the border after the Junggar Khanate and the Qing Dynasty delimited the border. When he was young, he was fond of literature and was known for his extensive knowledge on the grasslands. One night in the early years of the Republic of China, he was captured by the feared bandit Dan Bigacan and became his deputy. He has also been the leader of the bandits on Mazong Mountain. One of the people.
In this way, he can hardly be regarded as his confidant. The Black Lama is a strange man, he doesn't trust anyone. The only thing he believed in was his dog; the one he relied on most was his horse.
There is a dog at his door, as tall as a calf. Unless the black lama himself whistles or gives an order, it will bite a person's throat at once, and even a few young men can't beat it. This dog was used as a self-defense weapon for the Black Lama when he was sleeping and never left his room at night; he had a horse, a black-collared horse that no one else could ride on. Only the people around him, Ochier, could get close to his dogs and horses, but only for feeding.
This is what he usually does, but tonight Ochier still keenly felt something strange about the Black Lama. Because he was used to going to bed late, he actually went to bed early at this unusual moment. When something went wrong, it must be a monster, so Ochier became interested. He returned to his residence uneasily, listening to the movement next to him.
At midnight, the long-lost silence finally came to the bunker after a noisy day, although there were still the occasional hums of injured bandits. In this cold night, Ochier gradually closed his eyes. He was too sleepy.
However, he suddenly shuddered subconsciously and opened his eyes. In the dark room, he saw a figure outside the window looking at him quietly. The firelight that was constantly rising in the lobby made the other party's shadow particularly eye-catching.
This is the Black Lama! This is his usual style. However, at the same time that his shadow disappeared, Ochier heard the subtle footsteps gradually disappearing, which made him a little bolder. He quietly stood up and boldly looked out of the window. After a while, the black lama came back with his black horse and entered his room, followed by his dog.
The Black Lama is gone! This was his subconscious reaction.
Having followed the Black Lama for many years, Ochier has somewhat mastered some of his secrets. He knew that in this well-defended fortress, there was still a secret passage leading to the mountains to the west. It seemed that the entrance to the passage should be in the black lama's room. With his caution towards others, where could he find it? It's not as safe as his own room, and no one has ever entered his room.
After the people, horses and dogs entered the room, there was no movement. Ochier crept over and gently pushed the door open.
The door is not locked. The Black Lama’s room is his forbidden area and never needs to be locked. The room was small but empty. Ochier lit the flint and saw a screen that was not completely closed. He knew something was wrong, so he pulled it open forcefully, and a blast of cold air blew out from inside, making him shiver. After calming down, he saw clearly that there was a deep cave in front of him.
Even the Black Lama has left, why is he still here? In any case, after being under the influence of black lamas for many years, he could not imagine that if the Chinese army invaded the fort, he would be captured and killed. After all, he is responsible for the Black Lama's reputation for roaming the Black Desert.
In the cold night, everything is quiet. Everyone in the castle is already asleep, right? A cold wind blew on his face, biting to his bones. Although Ochier was worried, he quietly led a horse through this hidden tunnel and walked into the unknown darkness.
He didn’t dare to light it, and he groped for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, the front opened up, and he saw a waning moon in the sky. Although it was still difficult to see the road clearly, it was a huge contrast to the darkness just now, and it made me feel much safer. Looking back, the castle behind was vaguely visible, and he was out!
Following his feeling, he entered the valley west of the fort. There is only a bumpy stone path here and I don’t know where it leads, but since the Black Lama chose to escape from here, there must be a reason for him. Leaving the Black Lama for the first time, Ochier was so flustered that he could hear his own breathing, and his pace became faster and faster.
The horse is always led, and it is impossible to ride a horse on such a road and at night.
I don’t know how long I’ve been walking for, but I just kept walking forward in the dark. Just when he felt tired, someone in front of him suddenly asked slowly: "Is it Ochier?"
Ochier was so surprised that he almost reflexively said with a trembling voice: "The leader? I am Ochier."
Without making any sound, in this dark night, I was actually seen through by him at a glance, and the mystery of the black lama in the past came to my mind again. Will he blame me for following him secretly without permission? But they are all deserters, how can the black lama have the nerve to say that he is not the right one?
The Black Lama didn't say much. He just said lightly in his usual tone: "You are really here? It's good that you are here. I think it's time for you to arrive."
Ochier didn’t know why he suddenly felt a chill pass from head to toe. In this dark night, he saw the light in the black lama’s eyes.

Chapter 508 Chase and Escape
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Almost at the same time, Wen Ganlun and others were also anxiously planning how to escape. They don't have much time left, and they don't know that there is a secret passage under this seemingly solid fortress, but they still have two escape routes available.
One is to focus on attacking the People's Army positions at night and then escape at night. The disadvantage of this method is that bullets don’t have holes at night, so who knows if there will be a stray bullet? In the two battles in Mongolia and that night's night attack, they were deeply impressed by the power of the heavy machine gun. This path cannot be chosen except as a last resort.
There is also a way to climb down the rock. The "Bayinbuluk" built by the Black Lama is a huge castle with an area of ??3 square kilometers, but its main castle is the Black Lama's residence and the only gate is inside the main castle. Since such a large place is built against the mountains, except for the village gate, it is very difficult to attack other places. But if you escape from the inside, there is no problem escaping the castle, but you may not be able to ride a horse anymore.
Without horses, it is equivalent to taking off their two feet. But in order to save his life, it seemed that he could only make this sacrifice.
They were also frightened by the legend of Zhang Zongchang's brutality when he suppressed bandits in Western Inner Mongolia, even though they had not seen it in person. As the leader of the Asian Cavalry Division, he knew very well that with the good relationship between China and Soviet Russia, being caught by the Chinese army would be tantamount to stepping into the death gate of the Soviet Russian army.
With more than a hundred of his remaining men, Wen Ganlun resolutely decided to rope down from a cliff he had long been optimistic about. He had sent people to try this place before. The drop was only about thirty meters, and it was directly connected to the valley to the west. Except for one rider who accidentally fell to the ground and died on the spot, everyone else passed safely.
If I remember correctly, as long as we can pass through the valley to the west, the road will be the world-famous "Silk Road". Merchants traveling from west to east in this area will get the most important supplies in the Gobi: water and horses if they intercept any one.
Along this road heading west for less than 80 kilometers, you will come to a very important place - Mingshui, the traditional geographical dividing line between Gansu and Xinjiang. Once there, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly. It will take a lot of effort to catch them.
"I don't know whether the Black Lama can hold "Bayinbuluk", but after one night, coupled with the chaos that may be caused when the People's Army captures this bunker tomorrow morning, this time is enough for them to escape.
The night here is quiet. What no one knows is that the two former generals have unanimously given the hope of resistance to each other. This is something neither of them expected.
Zhang Chengde learned the news the next morning. At this time, Bayinbuluk, which had once been a nightmare for the people in the Gobi Desert, was in chaos. The People's Army initially thought that the enemy was trying to break out.
The first person to discover this secret was Kazantsev. After getting up, he subconsciously checked the gate of the village, only to find that the gate that was supposed to be guarded by the Russians today was empty. At that time, he angrily cursed these lazy Cossacks. , even though his fathers were also one of them.
However, the subsequent news became more and more shocking. When the men sent to contact the Asian Cavalry Division reported in panic that their camp was empty, Kazantsev's mind immediately exploded with a "boom". After confirming that Wen Ganlun and Lie Zuxin had escaped, he hurried to the black lama's residence, but once again received a response like a bolt from the blue.
The black lama is also missing!
Everyone in the bunker was shocked!
"The leaders have all run away, and the remaining 100 people, as well as hundreds of seriously injured bandits, can compete with the Chinese army outside the fort. Just dream!"
Therefore, all the bandits spontaneously put down their guns and waved white flags on the castle. This bandit den, which was once notorious in the northwest, opened its arms to the People's Army.
Zhang Chengde sent someone to report the good news to Zhang Hanqing while arranging to take over the bunker. According to statistics, there were about 200 bandit troops gathered and surrendered, and more than 500 horses. It's just a matter of people falling, horses are what the People's Army needs most at the moment.
Where did the Black Lama, Wen Ganlun and others go? This is what Zhang Chengde is most concerned about. To suppress bandits, we cannot just arrest the gangsters but not the leaders, otherwise there will be a possibility of a comeback. After carefully examining the surrendered soldiers in the fort and finding the rope left by Wen Ganlun and others on the cliff, a conclusion gradually formed.
Wen Ganlun and his group escaped by climbing a rock. Their horses were captured, as evidenced by the corpses of White Russian soldiers under the cliff.
The black lama should be at odds with them. If this were not the case, it would be difficult to explain the disappearance of his beloved horse, and the dog. He also took away none of his followers, except for his lieutenant Ochir. Since Wen Ganlun's team of hundreds of people had fled, there was no reason why the Black Lama didn't take anyone with him. There is only one conclusion, the way for the Black Lama to escapeThe line is different from Wen Ganlun, or at least they escaped separately.
The same can be used to prove that Wen Ganlun did not follow the Black Lama, because there was no reason for the Black Lama to escape on horseback, while Wen Ganlun and his party were stupid enough to follow on foot
Considering the terrain where the bunker is located, Zhang Chengde believes that there is a high probability that they will go west. Calculating this way, you won't be able to escape too far, because crossing a valley is absolutely different from walking on flat ground, at least for the remnants of the Asian Cavalry Division on foot. All in all, they walked for 12 hours, and the distance would definitely not exceed 50 miles. For the cavalry, this distance would only take a few hours.
From the perspective of the outer terrain, there are only two roads out of Mazong Mountain, heading west into Xinjiang and eastbound into the Badain Jaran Desert. For a scurrying infantry force, crossing the desert was a courtship of death. Moreover, the further east you go, the stronger the People's Army's control is. Do you want to fight guerrillas in the encirclement?
After making the decision, Zhang Chengde decisively ordered his cavalry regiments to be dispersed in company units around the Silk Road, and notified Zhang Zongchang to send troops to guard the possible northbound passage into Mongolia. Each cavalry company has 160 men. As long as they form a group in the wilderness, the infantry of a hundred or so people cannot eat them in one bite.
As for the Black Lama and his assistant, due to their familiarity with the terrain here, and the fact that they have already walked in the middle of the night and have horses, it is too early to judge whether they can get out of the encirclement, because after all, they are walking on a mountain road at night and the journey will not be too fast. But at the earliest, there is only a chance that they will slip through the net, and there is no chance of being beaten down. After all, they are small and isolated.
"But Zhang Chengde still didn't give up. He had to find the secret exit. Taking advantage of the opportunity of destroying the bunker, the People's Army conducted a thorough investigation and clearance of various passages, trenches, bunkers, underground ditches, etc., and finally discovered the underground tunnel in the black lama's room. Kazantsev only took a cursory glance at it, otherwise he might have had a chance to get out of here.
The People's Army found countless good things in this room, the most important of which was the seizure of a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, which were the results of years of robbery by the Black Lama and were worth more than five million yuan. When the money was reported to Zhang Hanqing's desk, he smiled and praised the Black Lama: "The Black Lama still has merit. He is the custodian of the People's Army's wealth."
Zhang Chengde could not think of this at this time. He was focused on gaining greater results, and immediately and decisively arranged for his cavalry escort to lead a captive and guide out of the valley to search and follow up. Although the Black Lama may have left long ago, we do not let go of the possibility. What if?
Feng Wenjing, the commander of the search company who accepted the mission, is from the Northeast. Although he looks like a young man, he already has five years of military service. Being able to be the company commander of the division commander's escort company at least shows that he is extremely alert. Zhang Chengde allowed him to take on such an important task, which was in itself a recognition of his ability.
He knew the attributes of horses very well and had roughly heard about the Black Lama’s deeds. According to his experience, although cavalry can run faster than infantry, it is also very expensive, especially in such mountainous areas. Even though the Black Lama walked in the middle of the night, it was still unknown how far he could really go. A good rider will be considerate of horse power, especially at night, and will not dare to drive fast at all.
Calculating this way, the Black Lama will definitely not be able to walk more than sixty miles. According to the map, he was only close to the edge of Mazong Mountain, and there was still 100 miles to Mingshui.
Unless he wants to hang out in this Tushan Mountain, the correct solution is to escape from here as quickly as possible. If the encircling cavalry team could not stop the important checkpoint of Mingshui in time, the Black Lama would only dare to wander in the mountains.
On the surface, Black Lama has the advantage of going first, but it is also his disadvantage, because the People's Army can safely and boldly speed on the road, but he must first go around the mountain. Although he was trapped and depleted, it was still unclear whether he could surpass the friendly search team.
Because of this idea, Feng Wenjing firmly believed in his judgment. He said to his men: "Now we are gambling on luck. The Black Lama is one step ahead of us and will leave the valley now according to the schedule. If the Black Lama reaches Mingshui and our cavalry does not arrive at the checkpoint in time, he will escape; if we The cavalry could block his way. For safety reasons, he could only return to the valley. It would be at least six hours later.
Our only chance now is to block his possible way into the valley within six hours. Otherwise, once he re-enters the valley, based on his familiarity with the terrain here, we cannot guarantee that we will catch him, so I decided to use a forced march. Now I order the three and four rows to abandon their horses and return, and the one and two rows of men and two horses to follow me in pursuit! "
He is indeed a good rider. He knows that galloping horses cannot last long under these conditions. Using two horses alternately to save horsepower is a feasible solution. Genghis Khan also used this method when he traveled thousands of miles. Although the manpower is reduced by half, the speed can be greatly accelerated.
But what if the black lama does not come out of the valley but hides? Regarding this issue, Feng Wenjing could only bet that the other party would not dare to stay here easily. Unlike the inland areas, the mountainous areas of the Gobi Desert are extremely short of water. Without water, people will die.
Unable to think so much, Feng Wenjing led a cavalry team of 40 people and galloped all the way. The bumps along the way were life-threatening. Contrary to what most people think, even so, the endurance of normal people is still far greater than that of horses.
After changing the war horses several times in succession, although the people were in excruciating pain, they could still bear it, but the war horses were on the verge of collapse.

Not far from the mouth of the valley, there is an east-west stone road. Although it is still in the hills, it is much wider on both sides, but the winding view is not good.
If Feng Wenjing was familiar with the terrain here, he would have known that he was lucky enough to be on the Silk Road. He pointed to the mouth of the valley and asked the prisoner, "Where does this road lead?"
Looking around, the bandit said with certainty: "Master, follow this road westward to Mingshui. We have taken a shortcut around Mazong Mountain."
Oh, it seems that the pursuit of a group of people by yourself is much faster than the pursuit arranged by the division headquarters, right? In this way, in theory, if you reach Mingshui Pass, you should be faster than other friendly forces.
"Everyone take a rest first and drink enough water for the horses. We will rush to Mingshui later. As long as we hold on there firmly, the White Russian bandits on foot will not be able to escape even if they grab the horses on the road. Fortunately, they can't escape on the road. We can still catch up with the Black Lama. After all, we can still turn around and rest our horses. We are tired, and the Black Lama is even more tired." Feng Wenjing made a decision in an instant.
So the group of people stopped for a while and then started on the road again.
Although this road is still bumpy, it is much better than the stone roads in the valley. Perhaps this is because it has been stepped on by travelers on the Silk Road for thousands of years? However, because the Black Lama caused trouble here, gradually the number of pedestrians on this road became sparse. Merchants from the east and west changed their route from Liuyuan to Hongliu River to enter Xinjiang, which later became the new "Silk Road".
For the sake of business, there are always people who take the road that no one has gone before. In this sense, businessmen are also great.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: We are much closer to Mingshui. Suddenly, Xu Wenjing heard a horse neighing. Immediately, he reined in his horse and listened. There was a sound of movement not far away, which was particularly sensitive in this deep valley. Feng Wenjing said in a deep voice: "There is someone here, please pay attention!"
This surprise drove away everyone’s fatigue. Why did you come on this trip? Some soldiers who had heard about the black lama were so nervous that they spilled the water they were drinking, not because they were afraid, but because if the person who came was really a black lama, catching him would be a great achievement!
There was indeed a horse wandering aimlessly under a hill at the turn of the road ahead, but there was no one there. After hearing that the prisoner said that this was the black lama's horse, Feng Wenjing moved his hand, and the cavalry spread out to search nearby.
Suddenly, a rider not far away screamed: "Company Commander! There is a headless corpse here!"
The sound shocked everyone, and everyone rushed over. Just beside the mountain road ahead, there was a headless corpse lying. His stomach had been cut open, revealing his bloody internal organs, and his heart and soul had disappeared. The cold weather froze his whole body, making his whole body stiff and causing his blood to coagulate.
This scene is horrifying. The disciple of the black lama had rolled off his horse and cried excitedly: "The leader is dead!"
Feng Wenjing wanted to confirm. He pointed at the believer and said, "Don't shout in a hurry - are you sure this is the black lama?"
The believer wiped his tears and said: "The leader was wearing these clothes yesterday, and his horse was here too." He pointed to a big dog in the distance that was frightened by the horse and ran away, and said, "There is also his dog."
The dog said nothing and kept staring here.
"And his heart must have been eaten by this bad guy Ochier! He wants to inherit the leader's magic power!"
According to the saying at that time, if a person cuts off his head, he loses his soul; if he eats his heart, he will continue his prestige, power and magic power. This argument is very popular among Mongolians who believe in Tibetan Buddhism, especially when faced with the black lama who is a Hutuktu, it is very convincing to make Ochier tempted.
The Black Lama died like this? Xu Wenjing didn't believe his eyes. But the black-coned horse, the dog that was inseparable from the Black Lama, the missing head and heart, and the ancient legend of Montena all confirmed that the Black Lama was really dead.
The pursuers all took a breath. Although there was no head, such a corpse and such an explanation were enough to be commended. Everyone's fatigue was worth it. After working hard for most of the day, we could finally take the body to the division headquarters to receive the merit.
“However, as the security company commander of the division, Xu Wenjing is shrewd that is rarely seen in ordinary people. Before seeing the face of the Black Lama, a corpse and hearsay alone were not enough to convince him.
Before the war, the division headquarters had introduced the situation of bandits on Mazong Mountain. Important characters like Oqier were of course the focus. Knowing that he was once an influential figure in a tribe and said to be knowledgeable, he should be aware of these superstitious activities (this is what the young commander instilled in everyone when he entered Mongolia, so?Running for what? he asked calmly.
"When the people saw the official chasing him, they thought they were bandits"
"Really? Aren't all the bandits in Mazong Mountain? Where are the bandits coming from? Did you see any bandits along the way?" Xu Wenjing raised the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile. All his subordinates who are familiar with him know that this is the rhythm of his jokes. At this time, you can really make jokes to relieve your fatigue.
The man quickly replied: "No, I heard along the way that the official's army entered the mountain to suppress the bandits, but now they can't come out."
Xu Wenjing chuckled: "You came all the way, but I don't know which way you came from? The road or the valley?"
The man hesitated for a moment: "The road."
Xu Wenjing smiled: "The east side of the road has been blocked for several days. Did you fly here from the sky? You don't need to ride a horse, but you should fly into the clouds! Until now, you still haven't told the truth?"
The man's expression changed, and his lifeless face began to shine: "Have you all guessed it? I am Ochier, and it was I who killed the Black Lama!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel .com
Chapter 510 Entering Xinjiang
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Xu Wenjing looked at him playfully: "Why do you want to kill him? He is your leader."
Ochier said bitterly: "I was originally the leader of a tribe, but it was the Black Lama who took me away and forced me to be his deputy! Over the years, my life under his hands has been worse than death. You are here, Black Lama." The lama couldn't defeat him and tried to run away secretly, so I followed him. However, on the way, he still showed off his old style and asked me to serve him. In anger, I killed him, cut off his head, and ate his Heart, so that I can have his magic power and no longer be afraid of his ghost coming to me!"
The officers and soldiers of the people's army nearby couldn't help but get goosebumps after hearing his words. Is there really someone who would eat his heart? A gust of cold wind blew by, and everyone couldn't help but shrink into their cotton-padded jackets.
Xu Wenjing nodded: "Then why did you keep his horse? You know here, two horses always go faster than one."
Ochier said: "I also wanted to take that horse away, but many people knew it and it was too conspicuous. Moreover, it was already very late when I walked out of Horse Mane Mountain. I was worried that your pursuers would come over, so I took the horse away." The horse stays there to let you know that the Black Lama is dead and will not waste time looking for me again."
This was reasonable and reasonable, but Xu Wenjing still felt a little suspicious. He stared at Ochier and asked: "Where is the head of the black lama?"
Ochier tried hard to recall: "After I came out of the valley, I threw it away. As long as it is not with the black lama's body, his soul will not come to settle accounts with me. No one can find where it is. , now perhaps it has been eaten by wild wolves and pecked by vultures.”
The Black Lama always appears in public in a masked form, and no one knows his true appearance. Although Xu Wenjing was almost suspicious, he couldn't tell for a while, so he could only take Oqier back with him.
Although it is impossible to determine the true life and death of the Black Lama, it is a fact that this largest bandit group entrenched in the northwest disappeared under the fierce offensive of the People's Army. When the results of the suppression of bandits were reported to Zhang Hanqing, he without hesitation said that he would reward Oqier with the amount of the reward for the black lama.
"Maybe he is a black lama himself" No one has ever suspected this.
"No, the Black Lama is dead!" Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "From the moment the reward was honored."
In politics, a person’s death does not necessarily manifest itself physically.
No matter what, in the end this news was consciously disseminated by the People’s Party. After hearing the news, the response from all over the northwest was very enthusiastic. People dared to go out at night, and the Silk Road became active again.
Many years later, Ochier, who was liberated from labor reform, declared that he was a black lama. Everyone who heard it thought he was possessed by evil spirits.
Another happy event soon came. Wen Ganlun and others who were walking on foot finally saw the power of the Black Gobi. After escaping from Mazong Mountain, they did not dare to go west directly on the main road. They wanted to bypass the People's Army's search cavalry on foot. Finally, they encountered the biggest obstacle while crossing the desert. Opponent——Drought.
Soon after fleeing to the southwest, he lost his way. After struggling for three days, he still surrendered to the advance troops of Zhang Chengde's troops who were ordered to enter Xinjiang. The premise was that they could be given some water!
"Why do you think it took so long to do this?" It is estimated that the Black Lama Heroic Spirit would curse if he had any knowledge. As long as Wen Ganlun and his people stop him, even if it only takes half a day, he will have enough time to get out of Mingshui. He was familiar with the geography from west to north. At that time, there was another lively black lama in the Gobi Desert. It would be difficult to catch him again!
Zhang Hanqing didn’t care whether the black lama died or whether he was arrested as a fake. He issued an order to Zhang Chengde, who was reporting on his duties, to reward the officers who had meritorious service in the anti-bandit campaign, especially Xu Wenjing.
He said to Zhang Chengde: "The Black Lama is dead, at least in name. The name Black Lama no longer exists in the Gobi Desert - so even if he is alive, he is still a walking corpse, no more than a captured bandit." Both. That Ochier has merit in killing the black lama, let him undergo labor reform together with other bandits, and avoid the death penalty. He didn't do much good as a bandit before, but now he can do what he can for the people of Gansu through his own efforts."
This labor camp, like the nobles and bandits who surrendered in Mongolia, is led by the government and under the supervision of the local armed police to pave the way and build bridges. If you perform well, you will have the opportunity to be released home in three, five or ten years. . Although it is much harder than when I was a bandit, I am still luckier than other leaders.
Leaders such as Wen Ganlun and Liezuxin, as well as Kegorodov and Kazantsev, were all notorious in Soviet Russia or Mongolia. Zhang Hanqing gave them the last honor and destiny as warriors: gunNo need to be surprised, because here there are huge interests entangled with Britain and Russia (in fact, the latter two often covet the territory of Xinjiang), and there are often some foreign-related affairs that the central government cannot handle or cannot control for some reason, so they specially set up With such a position, I can handle general affairs with full authority.
This person is a top student who graduated from Waseda University in Japan. Because of his broad knowledge and ability, he became the person Yang Zengxin relied on after entering Xinjiang. However, precisely because he had studied abroad and was very strong in new ideas, he had political disagreements with Yang Zengxin on many things.
Even so, the two still cherish each other. Yang Zengxin vigorously trained Fan Yaonan, making him an important member of the provincial government, and he was known as "Fan Yaonan of Literary Art". Fan was also loyal to his duties, honest and self-motivated, and did not accumulate personal wealth, so much so that he asked Yang Zengxin to remit money to his hometown many times for support. He was also extremely capable and was responsible for "taking the initiative in all diplomacy with Soviet Russia. He never failed once and never signed a condition that would cost him power and humiliate the country." This was especially appreciated by Zhang Hanqing.
In future affairs with the Soviet Union, he also wanted to rely on Zhongzhong. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 511 Confidentiality
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing’s approach was unexpected. Seeing Fan Yaonan do this, he jumped off the horse from the other side, walked around and took two steps to hold Fan Yaonan's hand and said, "I can't help it. Director Fan is a role model for our generation both in the country and in his body. How dare Xueliang dare?" Tuoda? Aren’t you trying to embarrass me? "
Fan Yaonan chuckled. At least Zhang Hanqing gave him enough courtesy. Before coming here, many people thought that this young marshal from the Northeast was by no means an easy man to deal with: he was the national patrol envoy to Shaanxi and Gansu and the governor of Gansu, he founded the Northwest People's Army with 100,000 troops, and he had the ability to seize the Middle Road. The unparalleled feats of Mongolia in restoring Mokuowei and Hulunbuir happened when he was young and proud.
This time he entered Xinjiang with a large number of troops. Everyone was worried that an unsatisfactory incident would make him arrogant, so they sent Fan Yaonan, who had the strongest ability to deal with all kinds of people, to welcome him hundreds of miles away. First, they could find out the young marshal's identity in advance. Temper, secondly, I also show my sincerity to him.
Fan Yaonan has a mission. He wants to know what Zhang Hanqing wants to do when he enters Xinjiang. He was familiar with the several back-and-forth telegrams, but they were all for the occasion and could not be counted. Such talk as "showing prestige on the border and declaring our sovereignty" is all lies.
He has seen the huge numbers and sophisticated equipment of the People's Army, and knows that such power is enough to make Xinjiang's military and political figures lose their right to speak. Although he is in Xinjiang, he still knows the domestic political situation very well. If Zhang Hanqing goes to war in Xinjiang without a good way to stabilize the situation, it will be unfortunate for the country and Xinjiang.
"The young marshal has made great achievements for thousands of miles. He is an unprecedented hero in China. It is appropriate for Fan to express his admiration. I came here this time to coordinate the itinerary of your army and make it more comfortable. Secondly, I also want to listen to the young marshal. Shuai’s views on the current situation in Xinjiang.”
Oh, we got to the point so quickly? Zhang Hanqing didn't want to talk nonsense on such an occasion. Communication should rely on heart-to-heart communication. He took Fan Yaonan's hand and said, "It's too cold. Should we take a break so that the soldiers can warm themselves over the fire and eat. It's still a long way to Dihua, and we have enough time to chat."
Fan Yaonan nodded quickly: "I was negligent. The young marshal's army has come a long way to work hard, so it's time to rest first." He called a lower-level bureaucrat: "Bring over the materials of our labor army, and reward the brothers first." Sincerity, Yang Zengxin had invested enough money to allow them to bring five hundred sheep.
Thanking Fan Yaonan for his kindness, Zhang Hanqing took him to a temporary tent to keep out the cold, and sat on a pony with a fleece blanket. Fan Yaonan was surprised. It turned out that the tent where the world-famous young marshal lived was exactly the same as that of other officers and soldiers. Except for a few extra tables for the convenience of the accompanying staff, there was no specialization.
He said sincerely: "I have long heard that the young marshal's army is composed of officers and soldiers. It turns out that the young marshal leads by example. No wonder he can build an invincible iron army. With the young marshal here, Xinjiang will be as stable as Mount Tai even though it lives on the border."
Zhang Hanqing laughed loudly and said: "Director Fan, don't just pick everything up - I envy Governor Yang. With an army of less than 10,000 people, he actually controls the largest province in the country. His 'rule by inaction'" His skills are indeed not simple!"
Having said this, everyone got to the point. Fan Yaonan said to Zhang Hanqing casually and expectantly: "So the young marshal also thinks that in a place with diverse ethnic groups like Xinjiang, it is suitable to 'rule by inaction'?"
Zhang Hanqing looked at Fan Yaonan with a smile and said: "Director Fan, there is no need to test, I and you have the same idea. If 'governing by doing nothing' can stop the penetration of British and Russian forces in Xinjiang, I can't wait to disband the People's Army and then Disarm and return to the field, use the saved military expenditures to develop people's livelihood!
"The life of the Chinese people is too poor. I walked all the way from Gansu, and there were many people who didn't have clothes to cover their bodies and didn't have enough to eat. Even Xinjiang is such a large place with such good resources, but many places are still extremely poor. This kind of "governing by doing nothing", I actually think is doing nothing! "
Well, Fan Yaonan explained: "In fact, Governor Yang spent a lot of effort in governing Xinjiang. His 'governing by doing nothing' still favored self-determination of ethnic affairs, and the government did less apportionment to reduce the burden on the people. The reason why Xinjiang is Being able to maintain peace for ten years with such a small amount of force cannot be said to be the result of Governor Yang's efforts to gain the hearts of all ethnic groups."
Originally, his political views were different from those of Yang Zengxin, but Zhang Hanqing described him in a very unbearable manner, and the mentality of sharing the same hatred with the enemy came up, so he tried his best to change his views.
"Oh", Zhang Hanqing looked at Fan Yaonan meaningfully: "Director Fan thinks the current peace is due to Governor Yang?" He was not allowed to speak, and he answered on his own: "The important geographical location of Xinjiang determines that when the country When it is weak, someone must take advantage of it, because it is the core of Central Asia. That’s why Russia and Britain divided their forces here.In addition, Russia also took away large areas of land through two conditions.
After the Republic of China, the Republic of China as a sovereign country was recognized by the great powers. Under the struggle of all parties, the great powers formed a consensus to maintain the territorial integrity of the Republic of China. This is also the reason why Japan coveted the Shandong Peninsula but was ultimately unable to obtain it, and why Britain could obtain significant benefits in Tibet but could not take it as its own.
After the European War, both Britain and Russia were severely weakened and could no longer support their advantage over China. Therefore, they invariably slowed down their efforts to seize territory, but only for a moment. Britain is attacking Tibet, and Soviet Russia is mired in civil war and has no time to penetrate into Xinjiang. Even so, it is still interfering in Mongolia's affairs - it was the cause of the previous suppression of the Mongolian rebellion.
But I estimate that it will not take long, that is, next year, Soviet Russia will definitely eliminate the civil strife. At that time, how to determine the relationship with it? Now the central government bosses still have many opinions. I'm afraid Director Fan is also making judgments, right?
Being conservative may create a false sense of security, but this will not last long. If Ying-Ruo regains his breath and asks for some benefits from Governor Yang, what will he do to refuse? Now it seems that cutting down the army saves money, but when others come knocking on the door, will the money saved save lives? The Gengzi Rebellion has already suffered a huge loss, and the country will soon have to pay back the money. How many troops can be armed with this money?
To be honest, there is no need to bring so many troops into Xinjiang this time. The consumption on the road alone is a huge sum. But I still brought two more elite divisions. Firstly, to deter those heretics with evil intentions, including forces within the province and abroad; secondly, the status quo in Xinjiang needs to be changed. Although I promise that Governor Yang’s status will remain unchanged, some things need to be promoted.
I am not satisfied with the current situation in Xinjiang. We must change the view that making people live well is a gift from the government.
With such good conditions in Xinjiang, it will become an important source of development for the People's Army to take root in the northwest. Director Fan is highly respected in Xinjiang. I agree with some of your ideas and hope they will become reality. This time, I just create conditions for capable people to sit in important positions, and I will change people if I don’t change heads!
I promised to guarantee Yang Zengxin's position as governor, but I did not agree with him to continue to serve as provincial chairman. The practice of the autonomous government is to separate military and political affairs." He stopped Fan Yaonan from speaking out and waved his hand heavily: "This evil man Let me do it! "
Fan Yaonan did not expect that the meeting would turn out like this. He said uneasily: "Young Marshal, although Fan has different political views from Governor Yang, he still admires Governor Yang's character. "I have been with Yang Chao for ten years and share the same sympathy. Flesh and flesh'. Moreover, Governor Yang never suppressed Fan because of this. Instead, he promoted me repeatedly, and now I am ranked below one person and above ten thousand people. In terms of emotion and reason, I will never betray him. The young marshal's kindness, Fan can only accept it with his heart!"
Zhang Hanqing laughed and said: "Director Fan is a person who has studied abroad, but he is so pedantic! According to you, this entire Xinjiang is the land of Governor Yang's family? Is this government official position rewarded by him? It seems that Yang The governor's policy of obscuring the people was really successful! I heard that Governor Yang was very disgusted with Director Fan's new-style education. He thought that "the number of people graduating from schools is increasing day by day, and the competition for official careers is becoming more and more fierce. The world will be in chaos." Because of this. What kind of logic is this! He hopes that people all over Xinjiang will "grow up as ancient people in ignorance" with him, right?"
This matter has always been Fan Yaonan's biggest criticism. He hated it deeply and always believed that "there is no decent school in Xinjiang, and culture and education are underdeveloped. This is all caused by General Yang's policy of obscuring the people." He said to his subordinates more than once He said: "Now the old school is no longer viable. To govern Xinjiang well, political reforms must be carried out. Otherwise, the future of Xinjiang will be very dangerous."
Zhang Hanqing changed the topic and said seriously: "It is because you have this idea that I personally led the army into Xinjiang! Xinjiang has been a part of China since ancient times, and the great powers did not deny its ownership even when they were extremely vicious. I know Since the Republic of China, due to the inconvenience of transportation in the far northwest, an independent kingdom has been formed here, making it impossible for the central government's decree to be implemented in Xinjiang.
Therefore, I want to demonstrate the authority of the government and make this place a member of the government again and a reliable rear area for the northwest and even China. All policies of the autonomous government must be implemented here! Not only must the military and political affairs be separated, the provincial chairman must give up; even the army must accept the reorganization and command of the Northwest People's Army!
These are extraordinary times, and I don’t want to get into a big fight, but some basic rules still need to be followed. I still need to plan ahead for some things, and I also need to plan for the future of Xinjiang. Otherwise, what can we do to ensure a safe and vibrant Xinjiang?
Director Fan, as an important government official of the Republic of China, should know that you are responsible to the people of the entire province, rather than being loyal to individuals because of emotional factors! If Director Fan really has the heart to serve the country and the people, he should accept this position without ceremony. It is a heavy responsibility. If you think doing so is a disaster, let's face this disaster together!
I know that there is a saying of "four qi" here, and I also know that you give people the impression of being polite. But if you are polite on this matter, I think it is alienating me! I believe in employing people without trust and distrusting people with suspicion. You gave me a positive response and I will fully support you. If you don’t do something, I will never advise you a second time, but I will never tolerate my officials’ empty meals!

Having said that, the ball has been kicked to Fan Yaonan's side. Looking at the ridiculously young marshal in front of him, Fan Yaonan felt a lot of pressure. This is the oppression brought by years of military career and authority, as well as the infection of his determination to cut through the mess with a quick knife.
"If you don't change the head, change the person." What a decisive statement! He even recognized the possibility that if he did not take a stand, he would be the first person marginalized after the People's Army entered Xinjiang.
"Young Marshal, Fan solemnly accepts this position for the 2.3 million people in Xinjiang Province. Considering the complex ethnic situation in Xinjiang Province, some measures should not be too radical, but I will try my best to cooperate with the Young Marshal's ideas and provide you with Shuai builds a stable rear area!"
Such an important position as provincial chairman was finalized in just one conversation between the two. Does this mean there is a "private grant and acceptance"? Anyway, Zhang Hanqing didn't think there would be any resistance, and Fan Yaonan didn't question whether Zhang Hanqing could express this position on behalf of the Central Committee. Everything was natural. This was the reality of the Republic of China.
Become a member of the People's Government and you can say something. Zhang Hanqing carefully asked about the situation of the military and political personnel in Xinjiang Province, the composition and capabilities of the army, etc., and Fan Yaonan answered them all. He has been the Minister of Military Affairs for many years, so he is naturally very familiar with the situation in the army, and he is also familiar with the situation of officials. As for the opportunities to develop Xinjiang, he has the best understanding of the situation here and has already had ideas:
"To defend such a large Xinjiang, the current two million people alone are far from enough. Land and no people have never been a source of stability. If the Northeast was not closed back then, how could the Far East be so easily seized by Russia? Such a large territory? In modern times, China was not destroyed like many other colonies. One of the main reasons was its large population.
Therefore, if we want to develop Xinjiang, we can’t do it without immigration. There is a lot of land in northern Xinjiang that can be cultivated, and it can fully support ten times the current population.
“At present, it seems that, as the Marshal said, it is the best opportunity to create Xinjiang as a stable rear area in the northwest. Britain's vitality was severely damaged after the war, and it is no longer able to stir up trouble in Xinjiang in the short term. The civil strife in Soviet Russia is gradually extinguishing, and it is already planning for economic construction. The lurking of these external forces is a great benefit to us.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There are two key points here. One is whether the reorganization of the naturalized army can be successful, and the other is whether it can prevent possible recurrence after the young commander leaves. I wonder what the young commander's countermeasures are? "
It is indeed a talent to be able to think of the far future, but Zhang Hanqing has already concluded: "We have long had mature experience in military reorganization. The naturalized army and other garrisons will be reorganized according to the structure of the Northwest People's Army. This time when entering Xinjiang, We have recruited dozens of experienced military officers and political cadres to serve as senior military and political personnel in Xinjiang Province. I can reveal them first.
Brigadier Tang Juwu, who was originally stationed in Tangnu Ulianghai, has been ordered to serve as the chief of staff of the Xinjiang Military Governor's Office, and he is on his way; the positions left over after you became the provincial chairman are held by two people: Zhang Zuozhou is the commander of the provincial armed police force, and Zhang Shusen As a special diplomatic envoy, the post of Director of Foreign Affairs will be abolished; other candidates, such as provincial party committee secretaries, must be appointed and prepared for the establishment of party organizations in various places.
As for the garrison, except for one battalion as a garrison in the provincial capital, most of the People's Army will temporarily leave Xinjiang, but additional pilot camps will be arranged. You know, to completely guarantee the security of such a large place, 2.3 million is far from enough.
After the pilot is successful, large-scale immigration operations will be arranged in the future to make this hot land a fortress protecting our northwest border! My idea of ??a military camp is that it is both an army and a people - they work as farmers in peacetime, but they can be quickly organized into an army during wartime. They will be an important supplement to Xinjiang's future military and police force. "
Fan Yaonan's heart was pounding. It turned out that the young marshal had made sufficient plans for the future of Xinjiang, especially his idea of ????military camps, which was very close to the reality of Xinjiang and was very necessary. If the naturalized army can be fully reorganized, it will be difficult for those few people in the provincial government to have any chance of making a huge difference. In this case, his position as provincial chairman will also be very secure.
With longing for the future, he and Zhang Hanqing had an in-depth conversation about Xinjiang’s political customs and policies towards ethnic minorities. What made him happy and excited was that although the young marshal had never been here, he seemed to be very familiar with everything in Xinjiang and had a deep understanding of how to take the first step towards the integration of various ethnic groups. This was quite rare among Chinese political figures at that time - he did not have the limitations of Sun Yat-sen's five-ethnic republic, but he also had profound vigilance and insight into preventing and combating ethnic radical forces.
Basically, Zhang Hanqing believes that nation has a profound historical background and needs to be viewed comprehensively. But you can't go too far and shrink your hands and feet. Dealing with ethnic issuesAn important means is justice: no matter which nation you belong to, no matter what the reason is, everything must be based on the law and run within the orbit of the legal system and the rule of law. In politics, there is no so-called national privilege, it is self-imposed.
Dogs determine their territory by peeing, and humans have a stronger sense of territory. Once you give some people space to imagine, they will go further than you can imagine. As for some ethnic policies, it initially seems to reflect the care for ethnic minorities, but when the situation develops to a certain stage, it will change, such as population policy.
The population of the Uyghurs was 1 million in 1900, and it was 3.2 million in 1950 in official history. Zhang Hanqing traveled back and forth to reach the first 10 million. Although the population of Xinjiang was quite small at this time, Han people still accounted for half of it. However, according to the family planning policy, the fertility of Han people was greatly restricted, while ethnic minorities were given free rein to have children, so that even after large-scale immigration in the 1950s, they were still unable to effectively control the entire Xinjiang.
Zhang Hanqing is not a nationalist. He agrees that all ethnic groups should allocate their right to speak. Of course, he should also give political preferential treatment to extremely ethnic minorities. But this right to speak can only be appropriate and cannot be at the expense of the political rights of other ethnic groups. He will not do such stupid things as self-castration.
The two chatted very passionately and stayed up all night. Zhang Hanqing implicitly stated that the future civil affairs of Xinjiang should be centered on Fan Yaonan, and asked him to go ahead with it; Fan Yaonan was also ambitious to do something big, and they even talked about building an influential university in Xinjiang, exploring oil, and in the near future Prepare to build an international railway connecting Gansu and Soviet Russia.
The guests and hosts enjoy themselves.
Regardless of fatigue, Fan Yaonan had to return to the provincial capital early the next morning to explain Zhang Hanqing's policy to Yang Zengxin and others, so as not to cause unnecessary confrontation and cause another disturbance in Xinjiang Province. It would be impossible for the important officials in the provincial capital to say that they had no ideas about this kind of great turmoil in personnel affairs. However, he did not expect that this kind of turmoil would be so strong.
In the Dihua Governor's Mansion, Yang Zengxin listened uncertainly to Fan Yaonan's long-thought-out statement and remained silent. Although Zhang Hanqing promised that he would still serve as the governor of Xinjiang, everyone with a discerning eye knows that his power has been greatly reduced. With Fan Yaonan's ability and reputation, he can compete with himself after he secures the position of provincial chairman.
That’s all. After all, Fan Yaonan is someone he values ??and relies on, and he believes his character will not really threaten his status. But what does the provincial party secretary do? In the Republic of China, there were only military governors and provincial governors. Where did these positions come from?
There are also the commander of the armed police force and the chief of staff of the military governor's office, both of which are extremely important. If these two positions are taken by the young marshal, will Hue's surname be Yang or Zhang? Wouldn't it be that I have become a superintendent on purpose? This is absolutely unacceptable!
"However, Zhang Hanqing came with a heavy army, and I was his immediate superior, so there were some things he couldn't say. But this does not mean that no one will speak up for him. At least some of the military and political dignitaries sitting here have taken the lead in attacking Fan Yaonan.
"It's not easy. Director Fan, I asked you to negotiate with the People's Army on behalf of the Governor. It would be better for you. In two days, the title was changed to Chairman Fan and you came back! Do you dare to say that it was useless to reach a deal with the Governor and the man named Zhang? What is your surname? Zhang’s surname is still Yang!”
The person who led the charge was Jin Shuren, the Minister of Government Affairs. In Xinjiang, Fan Yaonan was the only one who could surpass him in terms of reputation. In terms of trust, Yang Zengxin obviously prefers the former. Now, given the opportunity to make a new trip on Yang Zeng and take the opportunity to fire on him, Jin Shuren did his part.
"Director Jin, don't forget that Xinjiang still belongs to the territory of the Republic of China, and the military governor is still the military governor of the Republic of China! Marshal Zhang was ordered by Marshal Zhang, the Mongolian economic envoy, to inspect Xinjiang. As the director of the Military Affairs Department of Xinjiang, it is my unshirkable duty to do so. Obey! You asked me whether my surname is Zhang or Yang, my surname is both Zhang and Yang!
It’s you, Director Jin. You have always opposed the young commander’s entry into Xinjiang, and you even wanted to use force to resist. Where do you want to put the governor? Along with the weapons, do you want the governor to bear the responsibility of resisting the central government and corrupting the local area? ! "
Facing Fan Yaonan’s questioning, Jin Shuren lost his momentum. It's hard to see that the previously weak and low-key Minister of Military Affairs has the courage to attack him. However, in this matter, he really had nothing to say in return, so he could only find another way.
"Supervisor and Supervisor, Director Fan will not agree to the various demands of the People's Army to control the military and political affairs in Xinjiang if he has any affection for the Supervisor! No wonder people say that you are cautious and cautious, and you have not seen Huo Guang's fault; you are a humble corporal, quite like Wang Mang." Feng', I think this is not bad. You are fine with that young marshal, but have you ever thought about the situation of the governor? Have you ever thought about the outcome of your colleagues here? "
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? What he said was very serious. It was a satire that Fan Yaonan was as powerful as Huo Guang and had the ambition to replace him like Wang Mang. However, only the person involved knows whether these metaphors are the consensus of everyone or his personal thoughts.
But this reminder of their respective future situations really resonated with everyone. Zhang Hanqing apparently wanted to win the important positions of Provincial Chairman, Director of Military Affairs, and Chief of Staff of the Military Governor's Office, which really caused everyone to panic. This young marshal has a big appetite! After entering Xinjiang, is there still a way for everyone to survive? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)People themselves know it.

Chapter 513 Military Parade

Fan Yaonan laughed dumbly and was not angry when Fan Yaonan compared himself with Huo and Wang: "How lucky is Fan to let Director Jin compare to Huo and Wang! History has already concluded Huo Guang's achievements; Wang Mang's theory is too much. .
“I thought that although Fan was mistakenly favored by the military governor for the position of Director of the Military Affairs Department, he knew nothing about the military. However, Director Jin, as the Director of the Government Affairs Department, was involved in many things. This inevitably caused Director Jin’s dissatisfaction, which was called putting the cart before the horse. After the young marshal enters Xinjiang, I will strongly recommend Director Fan’s military capabilities to the young marshal!
As for the influence of Governor Yang’s status, I think you all know it. Since the Mongolian Xinjiang Economic and Strategic Envoys prepared to establish the United Provincial Autonomous Government, the separation of military and political affairs has become a general trend. The young commander's decision to still appoint Governor Yang as the governor of Xinjiang shows that he attaches great importance to Governor Yang, which is an attitude in itself.
According to my interview this time, except for a few positions responsible for Xinjiang's status as an important logistics base of the People's Army in the northwest, which need to be adjusted, other military and political personnel have basically remained unchanged, so there will be almost no impact on you. rest assured.
“And the Marshal has decided that after entering Xinjiang this time, apart from declaring national sovereignty and discussing with Governor Yang how to revitalize Xinjiang’s economy, the main force of the People’s Army will not be stationed soon, which means that we will still be responsible for Xinjiang affairs in the future. Director Kim is worrying too much! "
Jin Shuren sneered and said: "With a neglected military governor and several failed important positions, what else can we be responsible for! If you ask me, unless the young marshal promises not to interfere with the naturalized army and Xinjiang's military and political affairs will all be responsible to Governor Yang, otherwise We do not agree with him leading troops into Xinjiang!"
Fan Yaonan said with a faint smile: "Whether Director Jin agrees or not, the forwards of the People's Army have arrived in Qitai and are now rushing to the provincial capital! And I don't know how Director Jin wants to ask for the Young Marshal's promise? How can we not To get a naturalized army of 10,000 people? Risking resistance to the Central Army? I believe that how to choose, the military governor is more decisive than you and me!"
Seeing the two main men quarreling, Yang Zengxin waved his hands in annoyance: "De'an (Jin Shuren) and Zaoxiang (Fan Yaonan) are not such people. You should stop arguing. Since the young marshal led his army from afar, we should Treat each other with courtesy, as a guest should not overwhelm the host. The People's Army has entered Xinjiang, and unless we turn our backs, we cannot refuse their arrival at Dihua City.
Our naturalized army has the advantage of geographical advantages and has been entrenched here for many years, which is unmatched by the guest army of the Northwest People's Army. If the Marshal can come to an agreement with us on major issues such as the military and political affairs of Xinjiang without harming the general interests, there is nothing wrong with making a slight concession; otherwise, he will vow to deal with the Northwest People's Army and will not care about Marshal Zhang's experience in Mongolian Xinjiang. In the name of a brief envoy - speaking more broadly, Xinjiang is still a province of the Republic of China, and there is still a central government! I think the young marshal is also a very knowledgeable person and must understand the pros and cons. "
He looked at Fan Yaonan: "Zao Xiang, I think it's better to send you to greet the young marshal again, and said that in order to avoid disturbing the residents, we will properly arrange the army camp outside Dihua City. Can we hold a banquet in the city to welcome the young marshal? If he wants to show his power in Xinjiang Province, he can patrol the border areas such as Tacheng, Yining, Kashgar, etc. I will definitely order the governments along the route to make proper arrangements."
Fan Yaonan understood his thoughts. If the People's Army does not enter the city, the young marshal and others will not be able to gain a psychological advantage in the city, and will be timid in negotiating on some matters. However, based on his understanding of Zhang Hanqing, this young marshal was not someone he could easily dismiss: he wanted to do big things, to rectify the officialdom, to reorganize the naturalized army, and to perform some feats.
With the young marshal’s intelligence, how could he go into Dihua City alone to negotiate without being sure? You underestimate him!
But feeling isolated, he wisely gave up trying to persuade her. "When you see the majesty of the People's Army, you will understand that this saliva can actually be wasted, and these efforts are completely unnecessary." Fan Yaonan said this in the bottom of his heart, and of course he repeatedly agreed: "I will use this again. Let’s talk to the young marshal in the name of welcoming him.”
It’s been another two days since we left. While Yang Zengxin and others waited anxiously and messengers outside the city kept reporting back on the progress of the People's Army, Zhang Hanqing and Fan Yaonan talked about many things heart-to-heart.
Fan Yaonan has already reported to Zhang Hanqing the mentality of everyone in Dihua City.
“For him, it is true that Yang Zengxin is his benefactor, but Zhang Hanqing’s method can save the people of Xinjiang from fire and water, allow the people of Xinjiang Province to live a good life, and make the territory of Xinjiang Province permanent. From the perspective of righteousness, he had to smooth the process of the People's Army's entry into Xinjiang; from the perspective of righteousness, he did not want Yang Zengxin to be in the same situation as the People's Army, which was also for his own good.
Because at this time, Zhang Hanqing already knew the thoughts of the military and political officials in Dihua City from all angles, and decided to conduct this journey into Xinjiang in his own way. Although I am a guest soldier, I have great righteousness and absolute loyalty.The power of the world cannot touch him! Seeing that the naturalized army will not be the opponent of the People's Army no matter what, and they will all end up being their desk bosses, what's the difference between being in Dihua City and Zhang Hanqing's military camp?
He discusses with everyone, which is actually to unify the steps. After seeing the force value of the People's Army, many people had the same idea as Yang Zengxin, go ahead, you can still be a bachelor.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Anyway, a group of people headed by Jin Shuren decided not to go.
Yang Zengxin did not insist, ordered the city gate to be opened, and took the lead in walking towards the People's Army camp. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 514 A show of force

There is no hindrance.
It seemed that he had already received the order, and all the officers and soldiers facing him saluted Yang Zengxin and others one by one, which made him feel a little more comfortable. He is a veteran of the Republic of China, Zhang Hanqing is a junior in any case, and his father Zhang Zuolin is the same. Although the current situation between the enemy and ourselves is one-sided, this spirit cannot be lost.
Zhang Hanqing had already heard the news and came out to greet him. No matter how arrogant he is, the other party is also a very influential figure in the northwest. Besides, he has no intention of falling out with Yang Zengxin at this time - the stability of Xinjiang depends on his reputation.
"Government Yang is here in person, and my nephew is wearing armor. He cannot greet him from afar, so please let me know!" This is Zhang Hanqing's imitation of the novel's argument.
"The young marshal has traveled thousands of miles to raise troops to ask for punishment. Yang is incompetent and may harm his fellow citizens in Xinjiang Province. Now he has personally come to the military camp to plead guilty to the young marshal. It is already three quarters of noon. He will do whatever he wants without any complaints." This is his best performance. To be heroic, you must appear neither humble nor arrogant. After all, they have been in control for a long time, and they are not angry but have authority.
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "How dare you? Governor Yang and my father's colleagues are officials, so it is not an exaggeration to call him Shibo. My nephew has no intention of launching an army to investigate crimes when he enters Xinjiang this time. Shibo and his colleagues are officials in Xinjiang Province , these ten years have been extremely difficult. Being able to protect the entire territory of Xinjiang from being eroded by weapons and without losing the territory, Shibo’s contribution to the country, the people, and history is enough to give him a qualified answer.
The future construction of Xinjiang will require your vigorous coordination and suggestions. This is the purpose of my nephew inviting you here. "As for the three quarters of noon," he said with a smile, "my nephew's prank at that time was just to risk his life and survive, so as to get some luck." "
Not long ago it was thundering, and suddenly it was gentle and drizzly. It turns out that this explanation also works. Of course, no one will question the young commander's sincerity at this time, because the person has already arrived.
Now that it’s here, let’s make peace with it.
Yang Zengxin was very free and easy. He strode towards the military camp, with Zhang Hanqing following closely behind. It's hard to tell that despite his age, he still deserves the word "old and strong". His walking speed is like a soldier's, and he strides forward as fast as flying.
A banquet has been set up in the military camp. It is not a sumptuous meal, but just strong wine and roasted meat with potatoes. Zhang Hanqing smiled and invited everyone to sit down: "The military camp is shabby, the hospitality is not good, and many people are offended."
At this time, next to Zhang Hanqing were Wang Yizhe, Xu Lanzhou, Song Jiuling, and Zhang Chengde, all of whom were well-known characters in the northwest.
Yang Zengxin glanced at it, then suddenly walked to the main table and sat down on the main seat: "Young Marshal is a guest from afar. Although Yang is not talented, he is the governor of Xinjiang, so he is the master of this place. I will take a big , sit down first——Young Marshal, please take a seat."
The officials in Dihua City all looked tense. Even though Zhang Hanqing was a guest from afar, he was the authentic master of the military camp. Yang Zengxin is old and attaches great importance to etiquette and justice. How can he take the spotlight? It's just an excuse to use the topic and see Zhang Hanqing's reaction.
However, he is not afraid of his age, and others still value their lives. This young marshal is famous all over the world at a young age, so there is no telling that there will be some violent reactions. He, Yang Zengxin, is not afraid, but others still have ideas, so why bother? Everyone looked at each other and turned to Zhang Hanqing to see how he would continue.
Zhang Hanqing, however, was not upset and continued to greet others: "Please sit down, everyone. The conditions in the military camp are a bit rough, so please feel free to do whatever you want. Our People's Army pays attention to the integration of officers and soldiers. There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority here. Whoever gets it Who cares——it looks like Governor Yang knows a lot about us!"
Even so, Yang Zengxin, Fan Yaonan and several prominent figures were invited to sit with Zhang Hanqing. The civil and military officials in Dihua City were all sitting at the opposite tables, led by several heads of the People's Army and several civilian cadres. Keep company.
Continuing the consistent tradition, the food of the People's Army is extremely simple and only strives to be full and nutritious, and Zhang Hanqing's tent is no exception. Although there were more guests today, the portions were just larger and not more delicious than usual. Zhang Hanqing and the others were used to this kind of food. After a few simple shouts, the generals of the People's Army began to feast and enjoy themselves.
On the contrary, the officials of Dihua City cannot accept such rough food. Although Xinjiang is located in a corner and the people's sentiments are currently poor, this does not affect the provincial officials' maintenance of favorable living conditions. If they weren't afraid of the opinions of the people's army generals next to them, most officials would not bite the bullet and swallow it.
At first they thought it was Zhang Hanqing and others trying to intimidate them, but Zhang Hanqing himself was eating the same food and it looked delicious, so they didn't dare to guess.
Only Yang Zengxin and Fan Yaonan remained unchanged.
Fan Yaonan is used to being simple,Development and construction also require everyone’s assistance. He laughed and said: "Otherwise, where would I find so many officials who are proficient in Xinjiang affairs?" "
The officials felt warm in their hearts, oh, it’s not just a large-scale replacement. Although this young marshal put a lot of pressure on him, he still seemed very friendly.
"According to the consistent style of the federal provincial autonomous government, the separation of military and political affairs is the right thing to do. Therefore, after discussion, it was decided that Shibo will continue to serve as the governor of Xinjiang to hold down the position. Except for the position of provincial chairman, other officials must be given up. They all perform their duties.”
"However," he changed the subject, "I heard that the former Director of the Government Affairs Department, Jin Shuren, had strong objections to the People's Army's entry into Xinjiang, so I would also like to announce here that we also have strong objections to Director Jin! In the newly established I don’t want to see his name on the list of Xinjiang military and political officials!”
This was Zhang Hanqing’s first order on the political situation in Xinjiang under Dihua City, and it directly targeted the powerful Jin Shuren. The speed of his decision and the cleanness of his methods are astounding. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 515 Storm
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The reason why Jin Shuren was attacked was that he expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhang Hanqing's entry into Xinjiang through his absence from his high position as Minister of Government Affairs. If Zhang Hanqing wants to open up the situation quickly, this thorn must be eradicated to show his determination, and he can also To a large extent, the officials of Dihua can see the situation clearly: those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish!
Another most important reason is that this person has a bad reputation in official history. After Yang Zengxin was assassinated, he attributed the crime to Fan Yaonan, and then quickly shot Fan Yaonan to end the case, leaving many doubts for later generations. According to the most important judgment rule of all conspiracy theories, who benefits and who is doubtful, Jin Shuren, who took over as the governor, is most likely the culprit behind the scenes.
In order to have a good political and economic environment in Xinjiang, Zhang Hanqing decided to let him be the villain and take advantage of this opportunity to resolve the matter first. And he knew that Jin Shuren's reputation in Xinjiang's official circles was not good, because "arrogance", one of the "four spirits", refers to him.
In Dihua, Jin Shuren was always full of authority and ignored others. This kind of pride not only surpasses his colleagues, but also far surpasses his old boss Yang Zengxin. With Yang Zengxin's qualifications, not to mention provincial government officials, even ethnic and religious figures from all over the country came to see him in person, ate and sat with him without any pretense. On the contrary, Jin Shuren, as the Minister of Government Affairs, even provincial government officials have to wait at least several hours to see him.
This kind of official authority took a higher level when he later became the military governor of Xinjiang. It evolved to the point where he had to be accompanied by five or six people when going to the toilet. It was completely difficult for the upper echelons of various ethnic groups and religions to see his true appearance. His various ethnic policies later led to fierce confrontation with the government, which played a very bad role in dividing ethnic sentiments.
When Zhang Hanqing operated on him, he had the least resistance and the greatest benefit.
He used the fact that Jin Shuren did not come to see him as a reason to move him away, which made it difficult for the officials to share the same hatred. First, the relationship was not deep in the first place, and secondly, knowing that this young marshal must be a young and energetic leader, you still treated him with the same attitude you usually treat your colleagues. What else is it if you are not looking for abuse? A few even felt a sense of luck in their hearts: This position is vacant, and I wonder who will take it in the end?
Yang Zengxin was taken aback by Zhang Hanqing's sudden domination. He couldn't tell whether Zhang Hanqing was willful or a deliberate plan. However, he was setting the fire right, and even if he wanted to help, he had nothing to say.
He actually had a lot of objections to Jin Shuren, but it was just because he was very powerful in the local area that it was inconvenient for him to get angry. Now that the young marshal is taking the lead, he will naturally not be facing the wind. In other words, he is somewhat satisfied with Zhang Hanqing's promise to continue to be the military governor. As long as the army is in hand, with his usual reputation, even if there is any separation of military and political affairs, he still has the right to speak.
Of course, he still had to be a little gentle for Jin Shuren. After all, he was also his subordinate. Even if he soon became the same person, others were watching: "Young Marshal, Director Jin just couldn't think about it for the moment, and there is nothing wrong with Young Marshal's entry into Xinjiang." hostile."
He didn’t say anything, but he still expressed an objective attitude.
Zhang Hanqing smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter. If you can't think about it, go home and think carefully. Xinjiang's political economy will not go downhill just because of him. Besides, in line with the mainland, the positions of the Director of Military Affairs and Government Affairs will also be abolished." . In order to avoid the turmoil caused by this, we have already selected several replacements in advance. Let me give you a brief introduction. From now on, we will all be colleagues, and everyone can get close to each other."
He pointed to a middle-aged man sitting next to him wearing a leather jacket and said: "This is a celebrity in Shenyang's economic circles. Mr. Wu Enpei, the former economic adviser to the embassy in the three eastern provinces, is very knowledgeable in the economy. The right-hand man of Liu Shangqing, Director of the General Department. I invited him from his side and planned to make him the vice chairman of the provincial government to assist Chairman Fan in taking charge of economic work."
Pointing to a younger but scholarly person on the other side, he said: "Su Dechen, an important cadre trained by the People's Party, is proposed to be the Secretary of the Xinjiang Provincial Party Committee and will work with Chairman Fan in the future."
Pointing to the person opposite, he said: "The Special Diplomatic Envoy Zhang Shusen has been assigned by the Inspection Mission to take over the post of Director of Foreign Affairs left by Governor Fan."
Pointing to the two senior officers who stood up, he said: "The new Chief of Staff of the Military Governor's Office, Major General Tang Juwu, has been guarding Tangnu Ulianghai for more than a year and has done a lot of effective work to restore the country's military presence there. I believe he can serve in the new do better in the field;
Major General Zhang Zuozhou is proposed to be the commander of the Armed Police Force. He will be responsible for security throughout Xinjiang. "
Pointing to a mid-level officer who had just reported from outside the tent: "Colonel Dong Yanping, the proposed provincial garrison commander, personally led a battalion of soldiers and horses to attack the black lama in Mazong Mountain. He is full of courage."
In order to reflect Zhang Hanqing’s importance, Tang Juwu and Dong Yanping were promoted to one level.Qing Qing spoke in an understatement, but Yang Zengxin and Fan Yaonan were shocked to hear every word.
Fan Yaonan was determined to follow the footsteps of the People's Army, but he only believed that this was the best solution for the country from a strategic perspective. He never expected that the legendary Zhang family and his son were so concerned about people's livelihood;
Yang Zengxin did not expect that Zhang Zuolin’s support for the northwest was so strong, and his plans must be not small. From another perspective, if what Zhang Hanqing said is true, how powerful the Northeast must be now!
But the performance of the People's Army during the military parade just now convinced them that the military investment mentioned by Zhang Hanqing had not shrunk. What is the level of equipment of the 2nd Division and the 4th Division, and what is the level of the naturalized army? The difference can be easily understood by comparing the two sides. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 516 The policy of long-term peace and stability
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
For a moment, Yang Zengxin felt a strong sense of inferiority. He could no longer convince himself of his resistance by saying that the People's Army was entering Xinjiang to enslave the people of Xinjiang Province! With such a strong power, it would be foolish to take a fancy to his little family background. In the face of absolute disadvantage, he couldn't even think of playing tricks.
"How are you going to benefit the people of Xinjiang Province, Marshal?" Yang Zengxin said, and for the first time, he no longer cared about his position as military governor.
Although he advocates rule by inaction, he will not hesitate to make some changes if there is hope for a strong Xinjiang. Faced with the huge gap between personal ideals and actual survival, as a strong patriot, he made a wise choice. He also understands the behavior of the Northwest People's Government in Shaanxi and Gansu, and hopes to help improve people's livelihood in Xinjiang.
"Three roads: education, industry, and trade. This is an economic development strategy based on Xinjiang's special geographical location." Zhang Hanqing gave an idea: "We will then explore a path for the integration of various ethnic groups, and then carry out some immigration and settlements." This is the best way to ensure long-term peace and stability in Xinjiang."
"Xinjiang is rich in mineral deposits and is suitable for the development of the energy industry, which requires a large number of talents. Large-scale introduction of talents from the mainland is not in line with the current situation. Training ourselves is the right answer. We have built two large-scale professional institutions in Xi'an and Lanzhou Universities also have this need and possibility in Xinjiang.
The Soviet-Russian civil war has seen the dawn of victory, and I cannot predict that it will be completely over within a year. At that time, the Soviet Union will shift to economic construction, and Xinjiang will take advantage of this opportunity to carry out trade and exchange supplies with the Soviet Union.
The important opportunity to get rid of poverty in Xinjiang now is to transport inland, mainly to Gansu, which has been unable to be carried out due to geographical reasons. We are already planning a railway from Baoji to Xi'an, which will connect to Lanzhou in the west and extend to the eastern sea in the future. It's called the Longhai Railway.
Make arrangements now in advance so that once the situation changes, Xinjiang will have direct access to the eastern sea. At that time, the connection between the mainland and Xinjiang will be closer, and Xinjiang's status will be more consolidated. Isn't this a good thing that benefits the country and the people? "
The prospects are very tempting and the road is very tortuous, but with such a wealthy financial backer as Feng Xi and controlling the territory of Shaanxi and Gansu, the possibility of building a railway at any cost is still very high. From this aspect, this young marshal is really not a playboy. He has ideas and ruthlessness in doing things.
Who among the warlords who have some money these days is not working hard to expand their army? There are not many people who care about people's livelihood like him.
It was because of this that Yang Zengxin tolerated Zhang Hanqing's usurpation of power. Since he had no intention and could not interfere in any way with Zhang Hanqing's entry into Xinjiang, he was still the one who tried his best to maintain the stability of Xinjiang during Zhang Hanqing's era. one of the responsibilities.
He has already mentally submitted to Zhang Hanqing's ambition and unscrupulous style of acting, but will his style be inappropriate when dealing with national affairs? Military discipline and ethnic issues cannot be handled in the same tone!
"But what does the young marshal think of the ethnic issues in Xinjiang? What are his thoughts on ethnic integration?" He asked this question quietly, knowing the pros and cons. If Zhang Hanqing dares to answer him with blunt means, he will fight back mercilessly and fight to the death to prevent him from intervening in Xinjiang affairs, although his current performance in other places is remarkable.
"Ethnic issues are very complicated, and of course we already have some experience in dealing with them. Like the previous Mongolian issue, it was a treasonous act by their leaders who colluded with foreign invaders. We launched the enslaved poor Mongolian people to carry out revolution. We have used thunder to deprive them of all rights, including their lives.
Now, Mongolia’s military garrison, railways, canonization, and mining rights have been returned to the central government, and the Mongolian government’s inherent courtesy to the central government has been restored. Regardless of diplomacy, regardless of friendship, regardless of land, the central government should bear full responsibility.
We are in Ningxia, allowing Han and Hui families to live together on the basis of respecting customs and abiding by laws and regulations. Both provinces have trained a large number of ethnic cadres, and both have effectively implemented administrative responsibilities.
In Xinjiang, ethnic issues are not yet prominent, and are currently manifested as an unreasonable mismatch between poverty and abundant resources. One question is how to increase the proportion of ethnic minorities participating in political affairs. I have always advocated that no matter what ethnic group you are, as long as you identify with the country and the central government, you have equal rights and obligations.
Another problem is the settlement. We plan to organize large-scale immigration from the mainland under the arrangement of the Xinjiang Provincial Government. Considering the actual situation, these immigrants did not move people here in the past, but were organized like an army to clear up wasteland, farm, develop cities, factories and mines in a planned way.??.
We plan to build several large and medium-sized immigrant cities to solve the problem of sparse population here. They will be led by a unified unit, which I will call the "Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps" for the time being! "
Xinjiang’s land reclamation and border garrisoning has a long history. It started from the field garrison in the Western Han Dynasty and lasted for more than 2,000 years during the Eastern Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and continues to this day. After liberation in official history, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps became China's largest special social organization that also guarded the border and established land reclamation, and implemented the "integration of military, government and enterprise", and made great contributions to the stability of the northwest.
However, the main task of the Corps proposed by Zhang Hanqing at this time was not to stabilize Xinjiang for future generations, but to slowly lay a wedge in Xinjiang under Yang Zengxin's rule so that it could not become a dominant force. The top priority is to provide economic supplies to the People's Army. Of course, how to unite local ethnic groups and contribute to the country's border stability is another matter later.
Frankly speaking, this policy will be beneficial to Xinjiang's future, but its process is too strict, leaving him no room for counterattack. He also wants to "hide his power and bide his time" and wait for the People's Army to withdraw and regroup. Woolen cloth.
Yang Zengxin had no intention of agreeing to Zhang Hanqing's request: in order to ensure the stability of Xinjiang, he set up military garrisons in Hami, Turpan, and Barkol bordering Gansu and Outer Mongolia to prevent Gansu and Qinghai naval lords, and the black lamas of Outer Mongolia from interfering with them. The forces of the revolutionary party penetrated into Xinjiang.
This approach is stable, but it also brings bad consequences. The checkpoint set up in Xingxingxia not only prevents people from other provinces from entering, but also strictly inspects books, newspapers and letters sent from the mainland, which makes Xinjiang almost isolated from the mainland. It has evolved into a closed-door policy, which has kept the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang in a " A state of ignorance.
Now, Zhang Hanqing not only extends his hands to his administrative field, but also has the idea of ??long-term management of Xinjiang. This is not a good sign.
The management system of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps mainly consists of Corps-Division-Regiment system. In the future, the Corps divisions will correspond to the regional administrative centers respectively. In addition to the regiment field, the regiment-level units of the Corps also have farms, pastures, etc., which are generally referred to as "agricultural and animal husbandry regiment fields", and the administrative level is the county level.
Of course, due to the small number of people, large-scale development is not yet possible, but this does not affect Zhang Hanqing's arrangement for an exploration team of hundreds of people to go to Xinjiang for preliminary research. When we free up our hands later and have more manpower, we can directly settle down.
"The area under the jurisdiction of the Construction Corps is under the direct jurisdiction of the Northwest People's Government as an independent administrative region, and its military functions are under the command of the Northwest People's Military Commission."
As long as you are not stupid, everyone can hear that once the "Xinjiang Construction Corps" is established, it will create a new center of power outside the current administrative system.
People under the eaves have to bow their heads. Yang Zengxin had no choice but to accept this wedge approach. Zhang Hanqing focused on the Central Plains, and there was still a place in Xinjiang that could rely on Yang Zengxin, so he did not want to do anything for himself. He chose Hami, Turpan and Korla near Gansu as the prototype for building the corps.
He was a little helpless. He was able to rule Xinjiang for many years because he was separated from domestic warlords. Like Zhang Guangjian in neighboring Gansu, he only nominally obeyed the central government to "protect the territory and the people." I just didn't expect that the Feng clan could apply the country's justice so well. A "Mongolian Xinjiang Economic and Strategic Envoy" made it famous for the People's Army to enter Mongolian Xinjiang; a Shaanxi-Gansu Patrol Envoy allowed Zhang Hanqing to directly delineate territory to all parties.
However, he still did not regret surrendering without confidence: Jin Shuren asked him more than once to show the momentum of a Xinjiang governor and refuse the young commander's entry into Xinjiang by force, but he thought over and over again and said, "Xinjiang is firm, but people's hearts are unstable, and he is the superior army." Moreover, the teacher is well-known and full of vigor, so it is not appropriate to start a war at this time." He refused. Now it seems that this approach was done correctly.
They came prepared!
Administrative and economic plans have long been formed, and these measures to benefit the people will definitely arouse the support of the people.
The idea of ??the Xinjiang Construction Corps is even more surprising because of Zhang Hanqing’s vision, which is simply too advanced.
In terms of understanding of ethnic issues, his proficiency is no less than that of local scholars and ethnic research experts. Some of his opinions are unheard of, but they are so reasonable and appropriate, which surprised him——Who said that the young marshal is a playboy?
And his spirit of "keeping a line in life so that we can meet each other in the future" makes him unable to have enough motivation to take risks: Zhang Hanqing does not want to monopolize Xinjiang. Instead, he believes that in the current situation of national division, as China in the northwest As an important barrier, it is very appropriate for Xinjiang to maintain its current status and status. He promised to convey to Zhang Zuolin his intention to continue serving as the governor of Xinjiang.
As an important force in stabilizing Xinjiang, the status of the naturalized army remains unchanged, and its ownership is still controlled by Yang Quanquan. It just needs to be adapted. Similarly, the Northwest People's Army does not seek to station troops in Xinjiang. All it requires is to own a Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and a piece of land that can be reclaimed as an important source of logistics for the Northwest People's Army.
If he objects, Zhang Hanqing will take away his position as military governor without hesitation!
Because Zhang Hanqing has described in detail the significance of farming and border protection from the perspective of national strategy and ethnic unity, and pointed out Yang’s mistakes and shortcomings in maintaining the policy of maintaining a close relationship among the Han, Uyghur, Hui and other ethnic groups, and will Whether or not he agrees to the establishment of the Construction Corps has risen to the level of whether he is a national sinner, which is really a big label.

Although it was not explicitly stated that the officials of Dihua City headed by Yang Zengxin formed an alliance under the city, everyone knew that after Yang Zengxin agreed to all Zhang Hanqing's demands, Xinjiang had been marked as a faction.
Under the supervision of Yang Zengxin, the Naturalized Army began to be reorganized into the Xinjiang Security Army. Similar to the structure of the People's Army, the Military Governor's Office is equivalent to the headquarters, and all military orders are executed by the Chief of Staff; the entire army is organized into 3 cavalry regiments and 2 infantry regiments, and each regiment is equipped with political cadres.
Based on the Dihua Security Team, armed police forces are being prepared in various places. This is a semi-military force that Yang Zengxin cannot control. Considering that the original naturalized army did not have heavy weapons such as cannons, the establishment of the armed police force will have greater restraint on the army.
To eliminate the influence of old forces, bottom-up reform is a tried and tested strategy. 80% of the land in Xinjiang is in the hands of less than 5% of landlords, and more than 90% of the farmers are slaves of the landlords. They work like cattle and horses, working in the fields without seeing the sun, and they still don't have enough to eat after a year. In order to subvert this exploitation and win people's hearts, land reform was first launched in several larger areas of Xinjiang.
Like the Northeast, this reform overthrew the landlord class that had been suppressing people of all ethnic groups for thousands of years, completely abolished feudal land ownership, and gave 650,000 farmers more than 1.37 million acres of land. Farmers of all ethnic groups not only It got rid of the oppression and exploitation of the reactionary ruling class of the Han people, and ended the oppression and exploitation of the feudal forces represented by the landlord class within the nation. It has truly turned around politically and economically, and it has also made the People's Party at least in Xinjiang. The region where the Corps is located has support from the grassroots.
When Gansu was still being conquered, Zhang Hanqing pointed out: "It is impossible to completely solve the ethnic issue and completely isolate the ethnic reactionaries without a large number of People's Party cadres from ethnic minorities." Likewise, “the key to solving the Xinjiang issue is the close cooperation between our party and the Uighurs.”
In late January 1920, with the approval of the Northwest Bureau of the People’s Party, 15 ethnic minority People’s Party members were first recruited. These 15 party members include 7 ethnic groups, including 8 Uyghurs.
In order to train ethnic minority cadres, Zhang Hanqing requested that the People's Party provincial committees of Qinghai, Gansu, Xinjiang, and Ningxia provinces and all prefectural committees where ethnic minorities exist should open training courses for ethnic minority cadres, and required Xinjiang to train ethnic minority cadres within three years. About 1,000 ethnic cadres who understand policies and are able to connect with the masses and are loyal to the interests of the people.
During the same period, Xinjiang carried out religious system reforms in Islam and Tibetan Buddhism based on local realities.
The main contents of the reform are: the abolition of feudal privileges in religion, such as the abolition of the "call and hierarchical inheritance system" in the Islamic clergy system, the abolition of private courts, prisons and penalties in temples, interference in civil proceedings, and the abolition of unauthorized Appointing tribal leaders and imams, concealing weapons, interfering with freedom of marriage, oppressing and discriminating against women, interfering with cultural education, forcing children to study scriptures in monasteries, become lamas, etc.;
Abolish the feudal private ownership of land, forests, livestock and other means of production in monasteries and the exploitative systems such as usury and unpaid labor;
Abolish the compulsory religious financial burden system in temples and prohibit extortion of people’s finances;
Abolish the feudal management system of temples, including the housekeeping system, hierarchy system, punishment and punishment system, and the affiliation of large and small temples, etc., and implement a dish management system;
Counterrevolutionaries disguised as religious elements within the religious circles were eliminated, the people's political power was consolidated, social order was stabilized, and religious believers were able to carry out normal religious activities.
At this time, the Xinjiang government still had great influence. Since there were basically no ethnic cadres at the upper levels, this bottom-up movement did not touch the interests of the upper-level bureaucrats, while the lower-level people gained tangible benefits. Only local political and religious organizations were completely destroyed. But they have no military power, and under the pressure of the awakened people, everything is in vain.
Through the reform of the religious systems of Islam and Tibetan Buddhism, Islam and Tibetan Buddhism have been freed from the control and use of religion by the exploiting classes and opposition elements, and have eradicated the long-term control of the majority of religious believers. System of religious exploitation and oppression of the masses.
At the same time, it has also changed the long-standing phenomenon of no distinction between religion and ethnicity, religious belief and religious system, religion and living habits, religion and administration, religion and education, as well as the interference of religion in national laws and justice.
Considering that the People’s Party was not yet firmly established, it took prudent and cautious steps when carrying out social reforms at that time, fully taking into account the ethnic and religious characteristics of Xinjiang. "When implementing social reforms in Xinjiang, we should fully take into account the characteristics of ethnic groups and religions, and consciously make some concessions on ethnic and religious issues in order to win the victory of the entire social reform."
Regional ethnic autonomy,It prohibits any organization or group from using any means to exercise the power of detention and various punishments against people. He announced that any form of theocracy would not be allowed in the ethnic areas of the Republic of China and would be regarded as an illegal organization.
By cultivating ethnic cadres, implementing ethnic regional autonomy, carrying out a series of social reforms such as land reform and religious reform, and vigorously building Xinjiang, the People's Party has basically eliminated ethnic oppression and class oppression in Xinjiang, and promoted the development of Xinjiang. Development has basically eliminated the soil of "jiangdu".
As long as this momentum continues and the benefits for all ethnic groups continue to increase as the economy improves, no one will let go of the good life unless they get confused and want to rebel. Of course, Zhang Hanqing will also exercise the power of the people's government against the complete separatist forces to make them disappear completely from this world.
Sometimes, it is politically necessary to physically eliminate some people like Hutuktu, and the impact is huge, especially when dealing with some people with evil intentions. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 518 Production and Construction Corps
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Fan Yaonan has done a lot since becoming provincial chairman.
Originally suppressed by Yang Zengxin, many of his ideas could not be implemented. Now, due to the separation of military and political affairs, especially the deepening of military reforms, Yang Zengxin no longer has the energy to take care of the administrative side. He was already good at administration, but with the support of Zhang Hanqing, he began to make drastic changes.
First, Xinjiang University and Xinjiang Normal University were built in Dihua. These two universities, funded by 3 million yuan from the Fengcheng Department, filled the gap where there were no universities in the northwest frontier. They deserve to be highlighted in the modern history of Xinjiang.
Then explore the route from Yili to Dihua to Hami to the Silk Road to prepare for the construction of a railway and highway across Xinjiang.
With the human resources of Gansu provinces and the financial support of Zhang Hanqing, several key projects have been launched, including steel, coal, machinery, chemicals, textiles, and electric power industries. Under Zhang Hanqing's vigorous promotion, the preparations for the establishment of the Construction Corps are accelerating.
China has used soldiers and farmers to cultivate wasteland to obtain military supplies and tax grains since ancient times. It originated in the Western Han Dynasty and formed a complete system in Cao Wei. "Three Kingdoms" said that every 50 people in the village were divided into one village, and the Sima army was placed in the village. Above them were the Diannong Duwei, Diannong Xiaowei, and Diannong Zhonglang General. They were "not affiliated with counties or counties."
From the beginning of Cao Cao's army to Zhu Yuanzhang's military household system, as well as the construction of corps in various places in later generations, they are all inherited from the same origin. The reason is that from an administrative perspective, landless farmers can be organized to the maximum extent and ownerless wasteland can be obtained. The government, with its high efficiency, strong ability to obtain resources and credibility, makes the people willing to accept such a method that seems to be exploitative but is actually a way of survival - especially during periods of war where exploitation is severe, all government land has not been embezzled. Yu, and at least there is a bottom line for exploitation.
Although Xinjiang has a large amount of land, due to the lack of transportation and information, the Han people in the mainland are unable or dare not go there. At this time, the government needs to organize preliminary work: providing food, clothing, housing, transportation, seeds, agricultural tools, etc.
In the Qing Dynasty, the rulers attached great importance to reclamation and regarded it as a national policy. Therefore, the land in the Qing Dynasty was developed to the point where "there was no land left." At the same time, the Qing Dynasty also opened up wasteland on a large scale in border areas and achieved great results. During the Jiaqing period, Hong Liangji was exiled to Xinjiang. In his poem, "Looking outside the Gobi, there is no abandoned soil for thousands of miles." Even Xinjiang has large tracts of fertile farmland.
Under modern conditions, large-scale farming is possible as long as someone is organized. The Construction Corps not only grows crops in Xinjiang, but also grows cash crops such as cotton, rapeseed, and sugar beets. Different regions plant different crops according to their own characteristics, and it is a requirement for farming at this stage to be coordinated by the government. With large-scale land, mechanized farming becomes possible.
What troubles Zhang Hanqing the most is that the People's Army cannot perform its duties of building a corps after inspecting various places and completing the reorganization of the naturalized army. The needs of the domestic situation require him to leave after settling in. The existing military strength is not enough for use, and it is impossible to convert the military to semi-civilian use. This is a waste at present.
But at the beginning of the establishment of the Construction Corps, despite Fan Yaonan's strong support, it was a brand new attempt after all. Military camps occupy a large amount of land. Although it is ownerless wasteland, it will inevitably conflict with some local forces. Without a strong armed organization, it is difficult to suppress other people's attempts.
There is only one battalion of people's officers and soldiers left in Dihua, which is only used as a guard; the armed police force is in the process of being established, and it must not be involved in the construction of the corps, otherwise it will be the disadvantage of integrating the police and civilians; the naturalized army will inevitably be reorganized after reorganization There will be repetitions, and it is not a stable and reliable object in itself.
Who can take on such a heavy responsibility? At the critical moment, Zhang Zongchang traveled thousands of miles to Xinjiang and once again recommended himself: "Young Marshal, my 'White Russian Corps' has nothing to do in southern Mongolia, northern Xinjiang and northern Gansu. Although the Young Marshal paid us, Isn’t it a big deal that you keep living like this for nothing? It is said that the young marshal is worried that no one is taking care of the construction corps, so I, Lao Zhang, volunteered and took over the job for the young marshal.”
I don’t know who revealed this news to him, but his words made Zhang Hanqing very moved. Although Zhang Zongchang's army is a mixed bag, its combat effectiveness is not bad. After all, it has made great achievements first. Originally, because of the shortage of troops, I wanted to force him to seize territory for the forward, but I realized that it was a domestic conflict after all, which gave the army, mainly composed of foreign soldiers, a bad reputation.
But it’s uncomfortable to have limited money to support such a team. Now it’s a good idea for Zhang Zongchang to take the initiative to ask Ying to work in the fields. Firstly, in the initial stage of establishment of the Construction Corps, the residents were not relocated. It would be fine if the army was temporarily filled up to set up a shelf, but it was still an organized armed force. Secondly, after all, with a team of nearly ten thousand people, doing nothing would inevitably cause some trouble to the people. The affairs of the country are not good.
Let them farm and grow grain, which is not possible at present.Xinjiang.
The most valuable thing is that the young marshal is very accurate in hiring people. He does not doubt the people he uses, and after he was appointed as the provincial chairman, he did not interfere at all in administrative personnel. He often asked him if he had financial difficulties and talent shortages. What's more, yesterday He publicly announced his personnel arrangements after leaving Xinjiang and became a member of the five-person leading group that decides on major issues in Xinjiang. His inclusion marked his formal acceptance into the Young Marshal Department——

Chapter 519 The tip of the tongue can defeat a million soldiers
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Dihua City in March is still a bleak scene. A heavy snowfall a few days ago not only made the place brightly decorated, but also added some embellishments. At this time, the lobby of the provincial government was filled with people and cheers.
This is the scene where Fan Yaonan, as the new chairman of the provincial government, held a banquet to see off Zhang Hanqing's departure from Xinjiang. Although many people were not invited, almost all the middle and senior officials of the provincial government arrived. They said they were sending the young marshal off, but they knew that the status gap was too far, so they could only circle around Fan Yaonan diligently.
Yesterday’s list of the top five leaders of Xinjiang was a mess. Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Su Dechen, Vice Chairman Wu Enpei, Commander of the Armed Police Force Zhang Zuozhou, Commander of the Construction Corps and Belarusian Army Zhang Zongchang, and Provincial Chairman Fan Yaonan were selected. What is shocking is that the Governor Yang Zengxin and the Chief of Staff of the Governor's Office Tang Juwu were excluded.
Tang Juwu could easily explain that if, as the chief of staff, he was selected but the military governor was outside, then the young marshal would have done something very unethical. But Yang Zengxin lost the election, which means a lot. Some people say that this is a sign that the power of the warlord has been lost.
In fact, the power of this warlord has indeed been greatly reduced. After the separation of military and political affairs and the separation of military and police, he, as a military governor, could only truly oversee the "military". Even for the military, he only enjoys nominal management rights: after the military reform, combat power is concentrated in the hands of Chief of Staff Tang Juwu, personnel power is concentrated in the hands of the Political Department, and all logistics supplies are managed by the Logistics Department. The three ministries are all responsible to the Northwest People's Army Headquarters in parallel, and even the guard troops are filled by the People's Army.
The reason for this is that the warlord still sticks to his previous habit of intervening in political affairs. His previous influence was still very great, and Fan Yaonan still tolerated this former old boss. In order to marginalize him as much as possible, Zhang Hanqing had no choice but to be ruthless and express his attitude by excluding him from joining the five-member leadership group.
Yang Zengxin, who had lost military and political power, quickly realized the gap. Compared with Chairman Fan's house, which was crowded with people, almost no guests came to his house that night. It was only late at night that a mysterious guest came to the door.
"Warlord, let me say that Fan Yaonan cannot be trusted. He is a typical boss who has breasts and mother. Now he has gone to the boy in Fengtian. That five-person group excluded the warlord, but the man named Fan said nothing I don’t want to say anything fair, this is really unreasonable! According to my opinion, after the people named Zhang leave, the military governor mobilizes the army to drive those people from Fengtian out of Xinjiang! Let them know whether Xinjiang’s surname is Yang or Zhang !”
Yang Zengxin squinted his eyes and looked at Jin Shuren and said, "Don't say that. It's just as it should be that I'm not in the five-person group. The young marshal said that a sound government should have fewer soldiers participating in politics and let civilian officials decide political affairs. It’s not aimed at me. Zaoxiang’s being shortlisted means that we still have talents in Xinjiang, and you don’t have to be dissatisfied with Zaoxiang because of this. I know his character well, and I have no intention of changing his family!”
Jin Shuren didn't care about Yang Zengxin's duplicitous answer, but said to himself: "The Overseer is so kind that he let the Fengtian gang bully him! The Overseer once managed the army on horseback and managed the people on horseback, and he was also a Jinshi. That’s a standard civil servant background! Think about who Zhang Zongchang and Zhang Zuozhou are in the five-person group? The former is a martial ruffian, and the latter is a typical military general, so they are qualified to enter!"
Yang Zengxin’s anger was aroused, but he was very good at forbearing. He spent two years defeating Alenkofu just by retreating. Regarding Jin Shuren, his former right-hand man, he still revealed his true feelings: "What can I do? They have great power, and it is enough for me to be the governor. What more do you want to do? I am old, how can I fight with them?" What a shame, the world in Xinjiang should look to them."
Jin Shuren has been beaten to the end, and Yang Zengxin is his best hope for recovery. Seeing that the warlord seemed to have lost his energy, he had to try to encourage him: "Governor, although the naturalized army has been reorganized, how can they find so many officers to replace in a short period of time? Most of these officers were promoted by the warlord. , I still have a lot of affection for the governor. As soon as the army named Zhang left, we started an uprising. You are the governor appointed by the Central Committee, and it is your job to dispatch troops and generals. When the army entered Xinjiang, the governor had no choice; The warlord has regained power. I wonder if Fengjun dares to risk the disapproval of the world and turn around to fight with us? If this is really the case, we will fight them!"
Yang Zengxin looked at Jin Shuren with his insightful eyes. He was really barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. Is he a fool to think that the 100,000 people's army in his hands is a fool? He shook his head and said: "Although Gansu is far away from here, it is far from unreachable. If the People's Army sends troops into Xinjiang again, what can you and I do to stop it?"
"As for the army," he said with a slight wry smile: "The naturalized army was originally insufficient in combat strength.The commander-in-chief has planted several bombs in Xinjiang. Not to mention the dilemma of whether he can mobilize the army after the reorganization, there are tens of thousands of Belarusian soldiers in a construction corps. What can you and I do to fight them? Look at the shape of Zhang Zongchang's garrison, from Hami to Turpan to Korla. These troops are relying on the south of Dihua City. Who knows that they are not guarding against changes in the naturalized troops? "
“Alas, if I talk too much, I will shed tears. Jin Shuren's greatest hope is to rely on Yang Zengxin to regain power. Now that the warlord has lost his energy, he can't even think about it on his own. He said with passion: "Are we just going to watch them demolish the couplets in the lobby of the provincial capital? Although the governor no longer has power, these people are too arrogant!"
When it comes to this matter, Yang Zengxin is also somewhat bloody.
When he concurrently served as the chairman of the provincial government, Yang Zengxin always hung a couplet written by himself in the lobby of the provincial government. The first couplet was "The reality of the republic has just begun. It is ashamed to call the five hegemons and seven heroes. Don't ask about the disputes in the Central Plains." The second couplet is It is said that "there is a beautiful scenery of Taoyuan in the side court, Xuan leads the south and returns to the north, and Hunhun grows up to be an ancient citizen." In his view, this is not only his strategy for governing Xinjiang, but also a compliment to himself.
In his original thoughts, no matter how the warlords in the mainland fought, he would only remain the first person in Xinjiang and implement his ideas throughout the province, which was also a great pleasure in life. But when Fan Yaonan officially became the provincial chairman, his people secretly removed the plaque. Two months have passed. I’m afraid it’s all covered in dust now, right?
Fan Yaonan was also very angry at first. Isn't this just adding salt to the warlord's wounds? Even if the owner changes, leaving these things will have no impact. After all, the policy plan is the last word. As soon as the couplet was withdrawn, there was too much movement. I wonder what Governor Yang was thinking? Do you think this is a sign of fighting against each other and starting anew? Although he is fully qualified to do so.
But when he heard that the person behind the scenes was the young marshal, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and couldn't say anything. It is true that Zhang Hanqing is dissatisfied with Yang Zengxin's policy strategy, but there is no need to break up with Governor Yang just to get him on the chariot. Since he is determined to do something to revitalize Xinjiang, he must change some practices, and there is no need for Zhang Hanqing to pull him back.
His silence on this matter reached Yang Xinxin’s ears, which was Fan Yaonan’s tacit approval. This matter touched his heart even more than Zhang Hanqing taking the position of provincial chairman. After all, positions are subject to change, and the biggest loss in life is when past glory (or perceived glory) is denied. He had been trying not to think about it, but when Jin Shuren mentioned it again, an unknown fire rose up in his lower abdomen.
Seeing that Yang Zengxin was successfully rubbed, Jin Shuren was very proud. He is a very ambitious person and has achieved the position of Minister of State Affairs through his own efforts. Just because of his political opinions (and the consideration of the throne), he was beaten to the end without meeting Zhang Hanqing, and many years of hard work were wiped out. This is unacceptable to any politician. What he especially cannot accept is that Fan Yaonan, who was once his equal, suddenly became the top official in Xinjiang's civil affairs. He thinks this is an insult to him.
"If the Overseer has any ideas, please allow me to contact some key members of the naturalized army. Many of them have been demoted or reassigned during this reorganization, but they still have influence in the army. As long as the Overseer With an order, they will definitely lead people to rebel. The only guard camp in Dihua City is left by the boy named Zhang. The governor has a personal accompanying camp that can compete with him. If I win over the garrison, it will be no problem to control the whole city! At that time, the military governor ordered the entire province's army in the name of righteousness. Who dared not to obey! What could the boy named Zhang know about our changes? The Republic of China is not decided by the Fengxi family!"
The truth is this. It also depends on the situation and Zhang Hanqing’s personality. However, with the mentality of giving it a try, Yang Zengxin still acquiesced to this: "This is a serious matter. If the officers and soldiers at the top and bottom have ideas, I will not interfere; but if I am not certain, I will not force it."
Even if he seizes power, he can't go to war, so he decides to let Jin Shuren do it if he can avoid being a villain. If it doesn't work, there is still room for expansion.
Jin Shuren cursed an "old fox" in his heart. He was just sitting back and watching success or failure. If he wins, he will be happy to regain the power, but he will only get a piece of the pie for himself; if he loses, he will pretend that he is ignorant and leave himself completely. However, compared to him, he was in a more urgent mood, so he was determined to be this evil person.
Jin Shuren, who successfully persuaded Yang Zengxin, happily contacted Yang Zengxin's old subordinates all night long, and Yang Zengxin also spent a sleepless night. The next day we had to bid farewell to the young marshal of the People's Army. As a military governor, he had to be there no matter what.
I got off the car in front of the lobby of the Provincial Government and looked at the familiar place. It only took two months for things to change. When will he be able to take over and give orders here again? The feeling of being a short-term warlord is really uncomfortable. Whether there is a chance depends on Jin Shuren!
But when Zhang Hanqing saw him for the first time, he looked like a smile but not a smile: "Du Yang worked hard last night, and the corners of his eyes are bloodshot. I'm afraid he didn't sleep, okay? In fact, some things don't need to be so hard, and you are old. , some things can be done, and some things should not be bothered. But it is better for Shibo to be less close to people like Jin Shuren, otherwise his wise life will be ruined in the hands of these people."
Yang Zengxin’s first reaction was that something had happened! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The look in his eyes said: "Du Yang worked hard last night. There are bloodshot eyes in the corners. I'm afraid he didn't sleep, okay? In fact, some things don't need to be so hard. You are old. There are some things you can do and some things you don't need to worry about. But Jin Shuren It is better for Shibo to be less close to these people, otherwise his wise life will be ruined in the hands of these people."

“Two months are enough for the Social Investigation Department of the People’s Party to take root in Xinjiang.
When the decision was made to use troops against Gansu, some people had already sneaked into Xinjiang and established the Xinjiang Provincial Headquarters. Taking advantage of the good opportunity of the People's Army's entry into Xinjiang, branches have sprung up in various places, and their tentacles have extended to every corner here. Among them, the naturalized army and Jin Shuren are the top priorities.
There is no need to overemphasize the importance of the army. Zhang Hanqing knew Jin Shuren very well and was very ambitious. This guy was still able to cause trouble when Yang Zengxin was in power. How could he remain helpless after being deprived of his official position? Zhang Hanqing basically knew everything about his movements in the past two months.
He has long been secretly communicating with military officers, sending seeds of comfort and revenge to the officers who were frustrated in the adaptation, and also contacted some government officials who were marginalized by Fan Yaonan and local politicians in an attempt to form a small group. Zhang Hanqing has endured all this. The existence of some informal organizations is inevitable. You can't go online just because people chat in private, right?
But I had wanted to pull this thorn out for a long time. It was not until last night that Jin Shuren paid a visit to Yang Zengxin, and then they kept in touch all night long, which was unpleasant. If the tiger doesn't show off its power, you'd think it's a sick cat! That night, the intelligence officers made an arrest and then interrogated him and came up with some very surprising things.
Zhang Hanqing is already preparing to leave Xinjiang. These are just farewell gifts. The only person who needs enlightenment is Yang Zengxin. Although the layout of Xinjiang in the post-Zhang Hanqing era has been basically completed, a restless military governor will still create a somewhat unstable atmosphere, which needs to be restrained by the means of the People's Army, the People's Party, and the People's Government in a timely manner. As the people's political power becomes more stable, the influence of the governors in political life will become weaker and weaker, and eventually they will be completely marginalized. This is something that will happen in the future.
Now, when Yang Zengxin was stunned, Zhang Hanqing took his hand, looking like an honest young gentleman: "My nephew still values ????Shibo very much. The stability of Xinjiang cannot be separated from your support. Jin Shuren and others , Not enough success, more than enough failure, such people should stay far away from Shibo's sight!"
As if to deepen the impression, Zhang Hanqing shook his head and said: "Take them away!" Several soldiers rushed out from the side and held up several people with earth-colored faces: "These people tried to collude with Jin Shuren to subvert the regime. Jin Shuren has confessed."
When these people saw Yang Zengxin, they shouted as if they saw hope: "Help, Overseer!"
Yang Zengxin grew old in an instant, and his great ambitions came to nothing. He could tell at a glance that these people were the ones Jin Shuren valued at the beginning, and some of them were mentioned by him last night as his help. Not only did Zhang Hanqing already know about it, but he also arrested him in front of his own eyes, just to show his face.
He shook his head and held Zhang Hanqing's hand as if holding a steel blade: "Young Marshal, what a trick! Jin Shuren and others don't overestimate their own capabilities, but they just think about it and haven't done it yet. The Young Marshal really wants to use that thunder Anger?"
Zhang Hanqing immediately seemed sincere: "If it's because of me personally, it's just a dispute of will, but they want to destroy the good situation in Xinjiang, which is hard to accept. These people don't know the righteousness and the general situation, and they have seriously threatened the regime. We can’t let go! Since no big losses have been caused, my nephew will just be more generous and expel these people from Xinjiang and never reuse them!"
It’s not that he’s soft-hearted, but they really didn’t implement it into action, and it’s a bit difficult to convict based on just a “plan”. Driving them out of Xinjiang would, firstly, shock other groups, secondly, it would eliminate the foundation of these people, and thirdly, it would be in line with the method of dealing with political opponents in this era: exile.
Yang Zengxin nodded and said: "My nephew is handling it well, very well, very well." He said "very well" three times in a row, and his breath was a little uneven. At this time, there were many civil and military officials walking back and forth. They had witnessed the downfall of several former colleagues and roughly knew the whole story. Their attitude towards Yang Zengxin was obviously alienated. Only Fan Yaonan personally came over and pulled him to sit down and rest: "Grilled The whole sheep is ready, please take the seats, Overseer and Young Marshal."
At this time in Xinjiang, roasted whole lamb was a delicacy used by dignitaries, landlords and other upper-class people to entertain distinguished guests during festivals, birthdays and happy events. Yang Zengxin has eaten roasted whole lamb many times in his life, and this time it tasted the worst.
Same workmanship, same fat sheep, but in a bad mood, no taste at all. Zhang Hanqing, on the other hand, was not affected by the incident at all. He chatted and laughed with several senior officials and enjoyed the delicious food together. The mutton here is indeed authentic, and it is very different from the mutton I had eaten in the mainland before traveling. Even the mutton from Northeast China can never be as fragrant as this.
“This grilled pork belly tastes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a lingering aroma that fills your mouth. Not only does it taste delicious, but it’s also roasted at a good temperature, making people unable to stop mouthing.”How is this thing made? "
Fan Yaonan smiled and said: "Young Marshal, this is a specialty method of the local Kirgiz people. They call it 'kawabu'. The characteristic is that it has both color and taste, and the aroma comes from the inside to the outside."
Zhang Hanqing asked shamelessly: "Is it because of the special spices added?"
Fan Yaonan took another piece of fat meat for him and said, "That's not true, the aroma is brought by the seasonings. Young Marshal, you don't know, the roasted whole lamb here is different from the way it is done in other places."
As he was about to leave, Zhang Hanqing tried his best to make the atmosphere harmonious to dispel the disharmony caused by the scene just now. As a source of conversation, he asked Fan Yaonan how to roast whole lamb.
Fan Yaonan is half Xinjiang, and he knows a lot about roasting whole sheep: "Choose a fat and tender sheep, shave off the wool, pour laxatives into it to remove internal organs, and then drive it into the fire to roast it." In a very hot room, when the sheep is unbearably thirsty, cold water mixed with various condiments is brought to the sheep. After the sheep is full, it is rushed into the hot room. Repeat this several times, and the smell of the condiments on the sheep becomes stronger. "
Zhang Hanqing nodded and said meaningfully: "So that's it, no wonder it tastes so good. Well, our reform in Xinjiang is like roasting a whole lamb. We repeatedly eliminate the dross, and the rest are the time-tested ones. People with both ability and political integrity work together and think in the same direction. I think the changes in Xinjiang will be like this roasted whole lamb, lasting and fragrant."
Fan Yaonan was first affected by Zhang Hanqing's impromptu confession, and then others who heard the taste praised Zhang Hanqing's clever words. Only Yang Zengxin angrily cursed in his heart: "Let's make Xinjiang's roasted whole lamb together, and then let you enjoy it!" Then he cursed again: "A bunch of sycophants!"
No matter what he thinks, he knows that with the People's Army's methods, he can no longer influence the political situation in Xinjiang as he did in the past. After losing his absolute control over the army and his position in the provincial government, he, the military governor, was completely reduced to a nominal official position. Jin Shuren's failure also allowed others to see the strength of the People's Army, which was quite extraordinary in both its overt and hidden powers! It was from this meal that Xinjiang truly entered the era of the People's Party. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 521 The Girl from Daban City

As we get further and further away from Dihua City, Zhang Hanqing is filled with joy. After eliminating the restless forces led by Jin Shuren, Xinjiang's future is truly in its own hands. As long as the People's Army grows stronger, Jin Shuren and others in the future will never dare or be able to seek power as they did in official history. When the People's Party takes over the grassroots level, the future five-member leadership group will gradually be transferred to the party's standing committees at all levels to normalize democratic politics.
With Fan Yaonan’s active leadership, the connection between Xinjiang and the mainland will become increasingly closer. In the foreseeable next few years, the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway will be laid and the five northwest provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and New Zealand will be united into one, which will become a decisive force in the Chinese political arena. The Northeast and Northwest account for nearly half of the Republic of China, and can form an overwhelming advantage in the confrontation with the Zhili Clan. Now, the initiative is mine.
With this good mood, he chose the southern route back to Gansu, where there was the headquarters of the Construction Corps where Zhang Zongchang was located - Turpan. Although there is still a long time before the grapes are ripe, it does not prevent him from taking a closer look at this famous place both at home and abroad, and by the way, taking a look at how the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps is doing.
Zhang Zongchang showed great enthusiasm for Zhang Hanqing's arrival. Although he belongs to a group that rose very late in the Feng clan, he has long been optimistic about Zhang Hanqing's future. He has always been arrogant and has always spared no effort to fulfill Zhang Hanqing's requirements. From rescuing the siege of the merchant city, to suppressing the Mongolian bandits, to taking the initiative to join the army to serve the people, he gradually won Zhang Hanqing's favor.
As the commander of the Construction Corps, Zhang Zongchang did not understand the great historical significance of its existence, but he keenly knew that this was the ladder for him to move forward. Therefore, he, who was not good at farming, began to actively study.
The Construction Corps has enclosed a lot of land in many places, but it will not be able to cultivate it effectively for a while. After all, the people of the White Russian Corps are all born with guns, and they are still naturally clumsy about farming. Besides, this season is not suitable for going to the fields. He estimated that Zhang Hanqing would definitely send someone to find out what he was doing. If there was no movement at all, wouldn't it affect the good impression he had finally gained?
So he thought hard to find Cai’s method. Not to mention, he actually came up with it.
He had experienced the land reform in Northeast China. Although he was not directly involved, he knew that the targets of the bandit suppression had lost their fighting spirit because of it. He didn't need to understand the people's feelings for the land, but he knew how to make use of it. Isn’t there a lot of land with no one to cultivate it? Is it okay if I rent some land to the common people? At most, the land rent is less, which is better than having no one to farm for a while, right?
In Xinjiang, the phenomenon of land annexation is very serious. Large-scale land reform cannot be rolled out until the People’s Party cadres enter Xinjiang on a large scale. Currently, it is limited to the surrounding areas of Dihua Provincial City. However, Zhang Zongchang decided to be the first to take advantage of the situation. He sent people to confiscate large pieces of land belonging to landlords and bullies and then contracted it to landless peasants at low prices, directly setting the precedent for land reform.
As an independent force, the Construction Corps cannot be interfered with by the local government. The landlords and tyrants were entangled again, and when they encountered this group of White Russian soldiers who did not understand Chinese or Uyghur, they had no choice but to be driven off the land obediently. Zhang Hanqing planned to let the Construction Corps reclaim 100,000 acres of land. It took Zhang Zongchang less than a month to increase the land he owned to more than 1 million acres. There were still people claiming the land for rent and it was fertile land.
This is a mistake. If land reform was carried out first and then military settlements were established, there would not be such a good opportunity because the land would have already been distributed by then. Ordinary people have their own land to plant, and they may not necessarily be so interested in renting it to build a corps. Who will plant the vacant land? I'm afraid that Zhang Zongchang's Belarusian Corps will truly become a construction corps by then.
It’s not like now. The officers and soldiers only have to ensure that they fight against the local tyrants, divide the land, and then just wait to collect the rent. Therefore, Zhang Zongchang's people are very focused on apportioning land to local tyrants. Land in several nearby cities has been annexed, and the furthest reaches have reached as far south as Dihua City.
“ This offended the big business, but it made the enslaved common people praise them. Although you have to pay a part of the rent, it is much more cost-effective than directly cultivating the land owned by the landlords. Moreover, according to people from the Construction Corps, after five years of leasing, the land will belong to the lessee. The news about this man brought everyone heartfelt joy, so they never expected that the first army supported by the people in Xinjiang would be Zhang Zongchang's White Russian Corps!
In just two months, people from the southeast, northwest and northwest of Xinjiang have spread the word that there is a large area of ??land less than a hundred miles south of the provincial capital with very low rent, and the army there will not disturb the people. People from many places went to these places with their families, including those from the suburbs of provincial cities. It can be seen from this point that during Yang Zengxin's ten years in Xinjiang, although he was politically correct, how poor the economic life of the people was!
Zhang Hanqing also didn’t expect that he was both dumbfounded and filled with emotion about this ending. What is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness? What???, the dancers slowly stopped and whispered, and some people said: "Our Dilidar is going to sing for the young marshal."
"My pears have fallen to the ground, are you willing to pick them up for me? I want to kiss you but I'm not tall enough, so would you like to bend down for me"
This is sung in Uyghur. Although Zhang Hanqing didn't understand it, he could hear some sadness in the lyrics and music. The tone was full of euphemism and hesitation, and the tone was obviously sad. Someone translated: "This is a Turpan folk song "The Girl of Daban City". The main idea is that the handsome lover will never come back like the lost youth. The beautiful girl's heart must be indescribable. In the end, she will stay away from Daban City. Alamhan ended with regret."
People were infected by the girl's sadness, and the cheerful atmosphere gradually disappeared.
“This is the Uighur girls who dare to love and hate, dare to reveal their admiration for men in public, and dare to pursue their own happiness. Their boldness is no worse than that of Zhang Hanqing, a romantic young marshal from later generations. At least, Zhang Hanqing would never let it go on such an occasion.
But what kind of person is Zhang Hanqing? He stepped forward, caressed the beautiful girl's hand, and praised repeatedly: "Beautiful people and songs are even more beautiful. This song makes me want to linger. Thank you, Dilidar, I Dilidar." He bent down, kissed her forehead in front of everyone and said, "I also have a song for you."
Dilidar was stunned at this moment, not entirely because of Zhang Hanqing’s unexpected kiss. In Han Chinese areas, it would be very bad for a man to kiss a woman, even if it is just on the forehead, if the other party has no intention of him. But here, kissing is an expression of one's heart, especially Zhang Hanqing's kiss, which is particularly noble.
What’s even more surprising is that he actually sang for her, which is unbelievable in Xinjiang where Han people dominate the upper class society. Think about it, it is of great significance for the supreme young marshal of the Han people to condescend to sing for a Uighur girl.
"If he hadn't heard the girl's song called "The Girl from Daban City", Zhang Hanqing wouldn't have dared to take the limelight even to death. But he is very familiar with this tune. This folk song was very popular all over the country back then. He had rehearsed this song and dance when he was in the college troupe society, so he was completely familiar with it.
With this minor tune, accompanied by Dilidar as a dancer, Zhang Hanqing improvised a song called "The Girl from Daban City" which he "improvised the lyrics and composed the music":
"The stone roads in Dabancheng are hard, and the watermelons are big and sweet. The girls in Dabancheng have long braids and beautiful eyes. If you want to marry, don't marry someone else, you must marry me. Take it with you. Your dowry, along with your bridesmaids, will come in that carriage."
Even Zhang Zongchang was shocked. In the past, when Zhang Hanqing wrote poems and lyrics, he thought he must have hired a gunman to do it. However, without any preparation, Zhang Hanqing could improvise lyrics and have beautiful tunes. This is Really good work.
It was not clear whether Zhang Hanqing and this beautiful girl had other programs that night, but no one expected it. The sensational effect of the Chinese song improvised by the young commander far exceeded its achievements in poetry, and it was soon sung. It is well known at home and abroad and has become a classic song loved by people all over the world.
"After the song "Girls from Dabancheng" spread all over the world, people all know that there is Xinjiang in China, there is Dabancheng in Xinjiang, and there are beautiful girls in Dabancheng. So much so that the academic circles later debated whether there was a "girl from Dabancheng", and if so, who was the real "girl from Dabancheng" for thirty years! This was something the "versatile" young marshal never expected.
Needless to say, the young marshal’s unintentional intervention made a great story about the unity of the Han and Uighur nationalities. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 522 Zhao Ti’s Troubles

The time has come to the 10th year of the Republic of China, that is, 1921 AD. It is still one year away from the first showdown between Zhifeng and Zhifeng in official history. The reason why Zhang Hanqing wanted to escape from Xinjiang as soon as possible was also due to the unpredictable situation.
Since Hu Jingyi, the general of the Jingguo Army, was recruited, Zhang Hanqing gave his troops a lot of care. Not only did he have enough food and clothing, but he also gave priority to the supply of armaments, which gradually won the hearts of the Jingguo Army. It is said that the young marshal has no sense of place and is dedicated to serving the public good. Hu Jingyi was even more impressed: Although the young marshal was young, he knew the general trends of the country and the world very well. Some of his predictions were beyond what ordinary people would think of, but they were still very reasonable. The young marshal's ambition to "end the warlord war, unify the Republic of China, establish a centralized central government, and then gradually transition to an elected government", as well as his plan to "alliance with the Soviet Union and Russia, establish a good relationship with Britain and the United States, and expel Japan" are all important. It seemed very feasible to him.
Originally, Sun Yat-sen's "Three Plate Cooking Theory" had inherent theoretical flaws: it has been criticized since the beginning of the Five Nationalities Republic and was regarded as Han chauvinism. Zhang Hanqing abandoned this statement and changed it to the title of the Chinese nation to form a united front for all ethnic groups in China.
The People’s Party’s revolutionary platform includes the complete realization of people’s power, the eight-hour work system, and a thorough agrarian revolution program (i.e., the household contract responsibility system), etc., while Sandanyi does not have these parts.
The principle of centralism, dialectical materialism and historical materialism’s cosmology required by the People’s Party are consistent in theory and practice, that is, they are revolutionary and thorough. Except for those who are most loyal to the revolution and the truth, the words and actions of Sanpanzhiyi are contradictory to each other. All kinds of thinking have made Hu Jingyi's ideas new - nonsense, the People's Party's theory contains the essence of later communist theories. After a long period of baptism and development, it is not the same as any political party at that time | Predictable? Zhang Hanqing almost wanted to derive the "Three Represents" theory to guide the direction of the People's Party.
Therefore, Hu Jingyi, who believes in Sun Yat-sen's "Three dishes to cook justice" thought, strongly agrees with the party and government cadres sent by the People's Party to take up their posts in the 6th Division one after another. Trusting someone because you believe in a certain doctrine will turn into infinite loyalty, such as Mao Zedong and his generals.
The Jingguo Army completely followed the Northwest Army. Zhang Hanqing stationed his army in Tongguan and prepared to take over Shangluo. This move deeply stimulated Feng Yuxiang. After he was expelled from Xi'an, he retreated to Ankang and lived in boredom.
Ankang is located in the southernmost tip of Shaanxi, in the gap between Shaanxi and Hubei. The land is poor and unable to develop: the Northwest People's Army is eyeing it in the west and north, the mountainous corner of Shu Road in Sichuan is in the southwest, and Wang Zhanyuan of Hubei is guarding against it like a snake and scorpion in the southeast. If Shangluo is occupied, there will be a trend of closing the door and beating the dog. Once there is a change, the sky will not respond and the earth will not respond.
He believed that the People's Army was pressing harder to get into this situation, and Wu Peifu's exclusion was also an important factor. Since Wu Peifu was unreliable, he naturally wanted to find a new employer, so he came up with the idea of ??quitting Shaanxi and switching to Henan.
Now Feng Yuxiang's power has greatly expanded since he subdued part of the 20th Division of Yan Xiangwen's Army. After his mixed brigade was expanded and expanded into the official 11th Division, both divisional brigades were reorganized into mixed brigades and a new one was added, becoming the same fully mixed brigade structure as Wu Peifu's main third division, but with two fewer numbers. That’s all.
Wu Peifu knew that Feng Yuxiang was not someone who had lived under others for a long time, otherwise he would not have been trying to exclude him, but he did not want him to come to Henan and become a serious problem for him. You must know that Henan, Hebei, and Shandong are usually provinces with a large number of soldiers. If Feng Yuxiang stays in power for a long time, it will inevitably affect his plan to rely on the Longhai and Pinghan Railways to challenge the Feng clan.
He knew about the conflict between Feng Yuxiang and Wu Zhanyuan, the governor of Hubei, so he sent him to station troops in Xinyang to wait for an opportunity to replace Wang Zhanyuan of Hubei. With the fat piece of Hubei here, I believe that as long as Feng Yuxiang is not a fool, he will give up the tough piece of Henan.
They are all from the same lineage, so why are they so incompatible?
Because among the original three direct governors of the Yangtze River, Li Chun and Wang Zhanyuan were the oldest. After Li Chun's violent death, Wang Zhanyuan became the mouthpiece of the Third Governor of the Yangtze River. He was actually dissatisfied with the current direct leader Cao Kun.
The direct line in the north is divided into three lines: Tianjin, Luoyang and Baoding, which shows that Cao Kun's ability needs to be improved. Prior to this, Cao Kun was not a firm Zhili, but had been an "amphibious governor" for a long time, which was especially despised by Wang Zhanyuan. He believed that he was the "pure" Zhili and should be at least on an equal footing with Cao Kun. Naturally, the rising star Wu Peifu did not take him seriously.
??Wu Peifu knows this very well. So he was also going to borrow Feng Yuxiang's knife to do what he had always wanted but failed to do.
But Feng Yuxiang's entry into Henan made Zhao Ti, the governor of Henan Province who had just experienced the "Henan Yidu" crisis, feel deeply in his heartAnother wave.
Zhao Ti was originally from Yijun, and he made his fortune in the Gengzi Year when he escorted Cixi and Guangxu to Xi'an for refuge. Later, he followed Yuan Shikai and contributed a lot. He was also a fellow from Henan, so he won the favor of the old Yuan and became the governor of Henan.
He then supervised Henan for 8 years, but made no achievements in the local area. His military management has always been stagnant in the same way as the late Yijun, without any change, so he has not developed a combat-effective army. The discipline of his army, especially the Hongwei Army of his brother Zhao Jie, was far worse than that of the general Beiyang army. The people of Henan hated Zhao Ti and were most affected by his army discipline.
History books say of him: “His personnel were favored to employ military officers, and most of his staff were from the oldest Beiyang General Bian Academy. The military cadets at Baoding were regarded as newcomers in the Zhao Department and could not make a name for themselves. It is said that there are three common sources of money for him: one is to enrich himself through arrears of pay. The army often owes pay for several months and then gets careless at the end of the year; the other is to control the Copper Yuan Bureau of Henan Province, buying copper and making it himself, and making profits from it; the third is not to Through the provincial governor’s office and financial institutions, opium donations were directly apportioned to opium-producing counties in western Henan and pocketed privately.”
He made a lot of money, but was very stingy with it. His subordinates seldom benefited from him, and of course they were unwilling to work hard for him when trouble came. Therefore, among the warlords, the combat effectiveness of his troops was the lowest.
In the era of warlords, people who were "good" were deceived. Before the Anhui War, after Liu Zhenhua's Zhensong Army in Luoyang was transferred to Shaanxi, Duan Qirui transferred two brigades of border guards to garrison in Luoyang. Wu Guangxin's troops were also stationed in Xinyang for a time, so there was talk of replacing Wu Guang's new governor of Yu. When Zhao Ti heard this, he panicked and used Xu Shuzheng to replace Wang Yinchuan, an important member of the Anfu clique, as the governor of Henan Province as an invisible exchange for consolidating his position as governor.
When the provincial governor was replaced by a member of the Anhui clan, he became a lame governor. After this false alarm, Zhao Ti believed that it was not safe to rely solely on the Anhui clique, so he sent Dai Shoushan as a representative to Nanjing to meet with Su Du Li Chun, the first member of the Zhili clique, and asked Li Chun to send troops from Xuzhou to assist Henan when necessary. Li Chunxu reluctantly agreed to Zhao's request, but in fact secretly sent personnel to Henan to investigate Zhao Ti's strength, believing that Zhao Ti's Henan army had no fighting capacity. If the Anhui clique wanted to attack Zhao Ti at that time, Li Chun's assistance would not be reliable.
If you can’t rely on Li Chun, you still have to find helpers. Otherwise, how can you fight against the Anhui clique on your own? Therefore, Zhao Ti sent people to contact Cao Kun, the leader of the Zhili clan and the governor of the Zhili clan. At that time, the conflict between Cao Kun and Duan Qirui was getting bigger. Cao believed that Zhao Ti was an honest man and that he directly bordered Henan, so he adopted him as a co-tune and agreed to support him. In April before the Zhili-Anhui War, Zhao Ti personally went to Baoding to join the eight-province military alliance of Zhili, Su, Hubei, Jiangxi, Feng, Ji, Heilongjiang and Henan, which aimed at anti-Anhui clique. At this point, Zhao Ti completely changed from the Anhui clique to the Zhili clique.
Before the Zhi-Wan War, Wu Peifu led his troops to withdraw from Hengyang to the north, and Duan Qirui called Zhao to prevent the Wu army from crossing the border. However, before the incident, Wu Peifu sent personnel to Bian to discuss secretly with Zhao Ti and made a wish to appoint him as the governor of Henan after the war.
Zhao Ti, who had gained the upper hand during the trial, rejected Duan Qirui because he was "too weak", but at the same time agreed with the Wu troops to pass and station along the Beijing-Hankou Railway in Henan Province, which was a standard deviation. Therefore, in the Zhili-Anhui War, although Zhao Ti did not directly send troops to participate in the war, he always stood on the side of the Zhili army, so that Cao and Wu had no worries, which was a great help to the Zhili army.
After the Zhili-Anhui War, Zhao Ti was still able to maintain his position as governor of Henan. He only removed Wang Yinchuan, the governor of the Anhui clique, and replaced him with Zhang Fengtai of the Zhili clique.
But he is still a lame warlord.
Soon after Wu Peifu was promoted to deputy envoy to inspect Luyu and was stationed in Luoyang, he wanted to train troops here. Along the Beijing-Hankou Railway in Henan and to the west of Zhengzhou, there were troops of the Zhili Army, and they had the aggressive tendency to force the enemy to overwhelm the host. At that time, there was also talk of Wang Chengbin supervising Yu, so Zhao Ti was inevitably worried.
So in the early spring of 1921, Zhao Ti went to Luoyang in person to deal with Wu Peifu, and sincerely expressed to Wu that he would only obey Wu's orders from now on. Wu Peifu also had disagreements with Wang Chengbin within the Zhili clique and did not support the king's governorship of Yu, so he personally guaranteed Zhao Ti's governorship in Yu. For a time, they were in harmony with each other, and Zhao and Wu became friends with Jinlan.
The "Yi Du" turmoil has come to an end.
During the Republic of China, with such strength as the governor of the Central Plains, Zhang Hanqing was surprised how he could survive surrounded by powerful enemies on all sides. However, although Zhao Ti was incompetent and helpless, he was the governor of Henan and still had a few people under his command. In some things, if done well, it is possible to cause trouble for Wu Peifu at critical moments. He believed that Zhao Ti would not welcome Wu Peifu's strong style.
Based on the idea that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Zhang Hanqing hoped that Zhao Ti could play the role of a troublemaker, so he sent someone to contact Zhao Ti secretly.
Zhao Ti was both happy and worried about the People's Army's big move in Shaanxi and Gansu. Fortunately, facing heavy military pressure, Wu Peifu focused on guarding against the People's Army going south, and suppressed Zhao Ti less. Worryingly, Feng Yuxiang was driven out of Shaanxi, and there was another strongman in Henan. There were really many. Disaster!
Regarding the helping hand extended by the People's Army, he believed that it would be a waste of time: there was Wu Peifu in the middle. If Lao Wu found out about his hookup with the People's Army, it's hard to say whether the People's Army could help him, but he would definitely finish it first.
But he did not refuse, because Zhang Hanqing was not looking for an alliance with him, but pointed out a "clear way" for him. This idea made him suddenly realize that this move was feasible.

Chapter 523 The farce of autonomy
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing's idea was proposed by Lin Wei, which was called "dividing the enemy camp". This method made Zhang Hanqing very appetizing. To put it simply, when the People's Army cannot get its hands on Henan, Henan itself will be turbulent first, and this will also lead to several warlords who are wary of Wu Peifu to form a loose military alliance to see how Wu Peifu will act.
One of the trends he took advantage of was the "autonomy" of Hunan Governor Zhao Hengti - another old tactic!
"However, although the two have the same surname, Zhao Hengti is much more courageous than Zhao Ti. At least he knows the pulse of the good times in a chaotic situation and really makes a big splash.
Because at this time, with Hunan as the border, the French Protectorate Army in the south and the Beiyang Orthodox Army in the north were facing each other. The Hunan Governor Zhao Hengti was caught between the forces of the north and the south. In order to deal with the pressure from the north and the south, the method he came up with was quite similar to that of his mentor Tan Yankai during the Xinhai period: he issued a call for "federal provincial autonomy" to all provinces across the country!
The so-called "provincial autonomy" means that each province is under the control of each province, but everyone unites to join forces, imitating the story of Fengjun. When faced with the pressure of two powerful armies from the north and the south, he sent a telegram to the whole country and said: "Hunan Province is located in a strategic location and has been subject to repeated changes. Today, the military and civilian affairs are divided into two parts. The provincial governor is elected by the people and the provincial autonomy law is rushed to blaze a trail. The first foundation. If the provinces and autonomous regions are autonomous, then the localities will have the ability to develop individually. If the provinces are connected, the whole country will have a way to advance at the same time"
In a word, Hunan is Hunan for Hunanese. The southern and northern armies should not get involved and let them manage themselves. Of course, it is managed by Zhao Hengti, because he is the "elected" governor of Hunan. As long as this proposal is approved, he will obtain a talisman in legal principles. And if we can find a group of like-minded people to jointly defend this program, it will be extremely powerful.
However, he believes that many people will be willing to believe in this slogan, and any local warlord who has a sense of crisis in his own territory will agree. Sure enough, the slogan of "provincial autonomy" stirred up waves.
After this call was issued, the first person to respond was Liu Xiang from Sichuan, followed by Yunnan-Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Liaoning, Shaanxi a total of 14 other provinces called back to respond!
Can you disagree? Liu Xiang is the king of Sichuan, Tang Jiyao of Yunnan and Guizhou, Chen Jiongming of Guangdong, and Zhu Houji of Fujian all want to be the grass-headed kings. Naturally, they do not want others to reach out to them. The banner of "autonomy" is very easy to use, especially in areas where the French Protector Army is entrenched. Guangdong.
Lu Yongxiang in Zhejiang is the only remaining force in the Anhui clique. Tianzhong Yu in Shandong is weak between the forces of Zhijiang and Anhui, so of course he needs "autonomy"; Chen Tiaoyuan in Jiangxi is most threatened by the Southern Army, and Yan Xishan in Shanxi has already established his own kingdom. Naturally, Don't want others to interfere in the affairs of the province.
As for the fact that only Liaoning and Shaanxi follow the trend in the Fengcian territory, it is purely symbolic, because they have already been "autonomous". The old and new factions, which have benefited greatly from "autonomy", will certainly not beat themselves up. The Fengtian faction represented by Liaoning and the People's Army faction represented by Shaanxi are enough to have these two vanes.
With so many people responding, Lao Zhao couldn't help but feel elated for a moment, and further sent people to lobby the provinces, especially to bring Hubei into the circle of inter-provincial autonomy. Being able to persuade half of China to follow suit, Zhao Hengti can be regarded as calling for China to become the originator of federalism. It's just that Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Hanqing and others used this question to perform better.
Judging from the political demands of "autonomy" advocates, followers, and initiators, it is sheer nonsense to talk about "autonomy" at this time. No one really has the heart to criticize, and they are all using this big name as a fig leaf. To fulfill his ulterior motives, Zhang Hanqing’s motives must be impure anyway.
Zhang Hanqing actively mobilized public opinion to respond, and his purpose was nothing more than one: the current Fengcian clique has a great territory, and time is generally in his favor and not conducive to the Zhili clique - just look at the economic development and industrial capacity progress of both parties. For Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing, the benefits of "autonomy" for each province are many at present: it can not only prevent the direct line from obtaining sufficient backup force, but also make it easier to defeat each other - this is a loose alliance.
As a result, various theories became rampant, and there were even rumors that there were already lists of candidates for the federal provincial government, such as Li Yuanhong as head of state, Duan Qirui as prime minister, Chen Jiongming in charge of the army, and Sun Yat-sen was rumored to be elected to the Pacific Conference. The representatives were all blown into the Pacific Ocean! But it also shows how strong the call for federalism was at that time.
Affected by this, when Zhang Hanqing sent someone to tell Zhao Ti that the Feng faction could fully support "Henan autonomy" and "Henan people governing Henan", it is not difficult to understand his psychological fluctuations. It would be interesting for him as a governor to really be able to achieve "Henan's autonomy". Otherwise, he would probably be the worst governor in history, bar none.
Because Wu Peifu used the position of deputy envoy to inspect LuyuHe was stationed in Luoyang, cutting off half of the country in western Henan, and there was also the Pinghan-Han Line; Feng Yuxiang was stationed in Xinyang, cutting off a chunk of southern Henan; various places in northern Henan already had various relationships with Baoding. After all, as the governor of Henan, he could only manage the area around Kaifeng, the capital, not to mention that the provincial governor was appointed by Wu Peifu.
Zhang Hanqing is familiar with this reason. Because Wu Peifu's main force is in Henan, he is unable to fight with him face to face, but he does not want to cause Zhili to gain influence in the future political situation, so he deliberately muddies the waters. While representing the five provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia and Xinjiang, he responded to the call and agreed to "joint provincial autonomy". At the same time, he advocated "Henan people governing Henan" (because Zhao Ti was from Henan) in order to expel Wu Peifu's forces from Henan.
I don’t know whether it was because the heroes had similar views or because father and son were connected, but Zhang Zuolin also initiated contacts with important people in Henan and Anhui provinces. At the same time, Zhang Zuolin also contacted Zhang Wensheng of Anhui through Zhang Xun, and used the two provinces of Henan and Anhui as two chess pieces pre-positioned in the rear of the Zhili Army. If necessary, they could be used to cut off the two transportation lines of Beijing-Han Dynasty and Jinpu to disrupt the rear of the Zhili Army.
At the beginning, Zhao Ti was still hesitant about abandoning the direct alliance, but Zhao Jie was the strongest advocate. Because of Zhao Jie's poor military discipline, Wu Peifu had repeatedly condemned him and made trouble for him. Zhao Jie was deeply uneasy and wanted to bet on the alliance with Feng. If Feng was victorious and defeated, he also dreamed of being promoted to a certain province. The warlord. Under Zhao Jie's prodding, Zhao Ti secretly took the path of Lian Feng and others.
But Wu Peifu is in Luoyang, but his heart is in Kaifeng. As soon as Zhao Ti's heart moved, he knew it because he had the governor with him. When Zhao Ti's people were clamoring for "Henan autonomy" in Kaifeng, Wu Peifu's people also moved.
What a joke! How can Henan's autonomy make Wu Peifu, the deputy envoy of "direct Lu-Henan" patrol who has no control over Lu and cannot reach straight, feel embarrassed? Since Governor Zhao didn't know how much he weighed, Lao Wu fully cooperated and helped him weigh it.
At this time, he knew that Wu Peifu was not a waste of money. He sent Zhang Fulai, the 24th Division, to station in Zhengzhou, and he led the 3rd Division to Luoyang, Xiao Yaonan's 25th Division to Anyang, and Feng Yuxiang's 11th Division to Xinyang, from the north, west, and The three southern directions controlled Henan Province and firmly controlled the Beijing-Hankou Railway. Squeezing Zhao Ti into a small territory in eastern Henan with Kaifeng as the center.
Not only that, but soon there was a scandal of mutiny in Henan Province. Cheng Shen, the commander of Henan's First Mixed Brigade who was dismissed by Zhao Ti, contacted the brigade commanders Sun Huiyou and Chen Guangshen in April, and obtained the support of Henan's fellow citizens in Beijing (most of Henan's fellow citizens in Beijing were opposed to Zhao Ti). In Anyang He sent a call to attack Zhao and fought with the Zhao army in the area of ??Bawang Tomb in Tangyin. At the same time, there was also a conflict between Feng Yuxiang's troops stationed in Xinyang, Henan and the Hongwei army of Zhao Jie (the third brother of Zhao Ti).
With wars raging between the north and the south, Zhao Ti used the Speaker of the Provincial Assembly Hu Xiangshan to send a telegram to refute Cheng Shen and his fellow villagers in Beijing, and at the same time asked Wu Peifu for help.
It’s a bad year! Zhao Ti, the governor of Yu, is facing crises everywhere, and it is really frustrating to take it.
At this time, you can see the difference between background and background. Zhang Hanqing massacred all parties in Shaanxi, forcing Feng Yuxiang, the Jingguo Army, and the Zhensong Army to retreat one after another. Wu Peifu was helpless. This was the difference. Although there is a reason why Zhang Hanqing has good military strength, if it were not for his father Zhang Zuolin, Wu Peifu would enter Shaanxi in a minute. How could he still be so arrogant?
However, Zhang Hanqing was very good to him as the nominal governor of Yu. In such a critical situation, he decisively mobilized public opinion to support Zhao Ti, saying that it was a disaster for the local government to support the troops and cause chaos. If Henan Province cannot be quelled, the People's Army will not hesitate to send troops to help.
Of course, politicians will not lose their judgment because of some words that are not real. A blank check cannot save Zhao Ti, nor will it pull Zhao Ti to keep up with the Fengxi chariot. What finally made Zhao Ti feel grateful to the People's Army and Fengxi was the 3,000 rifles and a large amount of ammunition given to Zhao by Zhang Hanqing, as well as his promise to replace Wu Peifu in the future as deputy envoy to Luyu.
This further intensified Zhao Ti's centripetal force towards the Feng clique, and soon he completely turned to the Feng clique.
Henan is Zhili’s hardcore territory, and its location is far more important than other provinces. It is home to the Beijing-Hankou Line, one of the two important railways of the Republic of China, and is adjacent to the provinces of Anhui, Shandong, Jiangsu, Hubei, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Hebei. It is no exaggeration to say that it was the site of the Four World War. Wu Peifu's army is now in Henan, and the forces in nearby provinces are in a state of dissociation from it. If the People's Army forces its way here, it may drive all parties to Wu Peifu's side.
On the contrary, it is most beneficial to the People's Army to try to stabilize the loose state of the provinces: first, it can prevent the expansion of Wu Peifu's power, and second, it will make the Zhili Army have some scruples when actually fighting. Therefore, Zhang Hanqing not only expressed his support for Zhao Ti, but also proposed the idea of ??a four-province alliance to the weaker parties.
Originally, Wu Peifu wanted to take a stab at it, but as soon as Zhang Hanqing expressed his stance, he jumped up. He directly sent a brigade from the south of Xiao Yao of the 25th Division and Fan Zhongxiu's troops (Fan's troops were reorganized into a detachment of the Fengjun Xu Lanzhou Division in Shaanxi and did not go north with Xu Division after being transferred to Henan) to Anyang to capture Cheng Shen, Sun Huiyou and others. Devastated. In addition, he also telegraphed Feng Yuxiang to stop the conflict with Zhao Jie's troops, and only then did Zhao Ti's crisis situation calm down.
But at this time, there were also rumors that the simultaneous outbreak of war in northern Henan and southern Henan was secretly instigated by Wu Peifu. The purpose was to warn Zhao Ti that it was not he, the governor of Henan, who could have the final say in matters in Henan. Without him, he could directly control Henan. Wu Peifu, the deputy patrol envoy, was uncertain about everything. Zhao Tixin didn't believe this rumor and no one else knew about it, but the governors of several other provinces had some thoughts. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Xiang Xiang stopped the conflict with Zhao Jie's troops and calmed down Zhao Ti's crisis.

Chapter 524 Four Provinces Alliance

Zhang Hanqing paid such a high price to support Zhao Ti because after careful planning, the People's Army had made a strategic decision to march south to Huguang.
On the surface, it seems that the Zhili and Fengcheng families are still in the honeymoon period, but Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Hanqing, and Wu Peifu all know that the two sides will inevitably fight this battle. It is difficult to predict when the two sides will break up.
In order to consolidate the rear, Zhang Hanqing personally visited Xinjiang and stabilized the situation there.
The garrisons in Gansu, Ningxia, and Qinghai were frightened and disintegrated by the Northwest People's Army. In addition, several brigades of armed police units were gradually transferred from outside the customs, which also allowed the Northwest People's Army to get rid of the task of local garrison. Although the armed police force does not have heavy artillery, it is still an organized army after all, and it is sufficient to perform local security functions. Moreover, the three provinces are now administratively closer to the autonomous government structure.
The current situation is very good: in the east, the People's Army has reached a non-aggression understanding with Yan Xishan of Shanxi; in the west, Sichuan has appointed Liu Xiang as the military envoy to Chongqing since Beijing appointed Xiong Kewu to replace Zhang Lan as the governor of Sichuan. , Yang Sen, Chen Hongfan, Liu Chengxun, Dan Maoxin, Deng Xihou, Qiu Huayu, Chen Guodong, Yu Jitang, Chen Nengfang and other nine people were appointed as garrison envoys in various places in Sichuan. The strength of the powerful factions in various places was greatly reduced. It will take time to regroup, and Shaanxi, The mountains and forests at the junction of Sichuan and Sichuan are high, and marching and supply transportation are extremely inconvenient. In the short term, either side will no longer pose a threat to the Northwest Army.
Now Zhang Hanqing can free up his hands to do what he wants to do.
With the northwest provinces and Mongolia in their hands, it seems that the territory of the People's Army is comparable to that of the Northeast. However, Zhang Hanqing knew very well that in such a traffic jam situation, such a vast area would be a disaster. The reason why the People's Army went smoothly was because it did not encounter a strong force. At any time, as long as someone blocks the key points of transportation at a node, the People's Army will not only be at risk of being forced to fight independently, but even supply will be a problem.
And as the front line lengthens, it becomes increasingly difficult to supply supplies from the northeast to the northwest. There is already a saying within the Fengtian faction that if the money subsidized to the northwest in the past two years is used to build an army, at least ten more divisions can be raised!
Therefore, the People's Army needs to find such a place with convenient transportation facilities and low-cost supplies from the base camp; in addition, given that the northwest is at a critical moment of poverty alleviation, the People's Army does not want to increase the burden on the local area, and it also needs A new and relatively wealthy place can support war with war.
This place that is easy to find on the map is Hubei, a place where Wu Peifu wanted to intervene but had no chance, and the rash entry of the People's Army would lead to a war between Zhili and Fengcheng in advance. Because although the owner here, Wang Zhanyuan, was unhappy with Wu Peifu, he was still a member of the Zhili clique after all, and he also controlled the other end of the important Beijing-Hankow Railway. Needless to say, its importance is because going down the Yangtze River can threaten the consortium that Zhili relies on for support and the forces behind it: Britain and the United States. As long as Wu Peifu counterattacks, the good situation in the northwest that was finally won will be in vain.
But Zhang Hanqing is bound to win this place. With the help of Yangtze River shipping, he could easily transport the heavy artillery and artillery shells that the People's Army urgently needed from outside the Great Wall. The supply of these items from outside the Great Wall was too time-consuming and laborious.
The strategy of marching into the army has been formed, and the opportunity is right in front of us. It is time to solve Wu Peifu's serious problem. If Wu's troops can be effectively contained, with the strength of 6 divisions, Zhang Hanqing still has a lot to do even if he faces Wu's small number of troops and the Hubei Army.
At this time, Zhao Ti’s role can be seen. Although his strength is very weak, after all, it is inside Wu's heart. Although his role is limited, he can still serve as an important check at certain times.
It is not enough to rely on the strength of Zhao Ti alone, and the strength of the surrounding provinces cannot match Wu's strength, but what if everyone forms a team? As long as Wu Peifu has scruples, it will be difficult for him to use his full strength in the future battlefield in Hubei, which will be a chance for victory for the People's Army. Now, they need a good reason to stick together!
So, taking autonomy as an opportunity, a reason was formed. Zhang Hanqing sent a number of special envoys to lobby various parties.
The position of Anhui governor Zhang Wensheng is very unstable. He was originally the garrison envoy of Xuzhou. Taking advantage of the fall of Chen Shufan of the Anhui clique, he "accidentally" led the Xin'an Wu Army of 20,000 people to become the governor of Anhui. This unit was built by Ni Sichong, the former Anhui governor of Anhui, and consisted of 40 battalions. After Zhang Xun's restoration failed, Ni took over Zhang Wensheng's remaining Dingwu Army of 50 battalions with about 20,000 people in Xuzhou and reorganized it into the Xin'an Wu Army. After Duan Qirui took office again as Prime Minister and Chief of the Army, in order to unify the Army organization, the designation was canceled and changed to the Department of Army establishment, but it was still customarily called the Xin'anwu Army.
Zhang Wensheng was in charge of Anhui, which caused the "Jiu'an Wu Army" in the same cityThe dissatisfaction of the leader of the Ma League. There are 5 mixed brigades in the Ma League, more than twice as many as Zhang. Zhang Wensheng had to express his sincerity to Wu Peifu, but also beware of Wu Ran's invasion of Anhui Province. He was also always under pressure from the Ma League A. The pressure was conceivable, and his situation was not much better than that of Zhao Ti.
Shandong Governor Tian Zhongyu was originally just a small warlord who controlled the 5th Army Division. He was not strong enough to protect his territory. As a result, the situation in Shandong was chaotic. Many bandits also took advantage of the situation to rob and occupy the mountain as king. Among them, Shandong bandit leader Sun Meiyao occupied the Lincheng area of ??Shandong and became the Tu emperor. In later history, on Jinpu Road, his men intercepted a passenger train on the Jinpu line and took hundreds of passengers as hostages, hoping to take the opportunity to extort huge sums of money. This is modern China. The famous "Lincheng carjacking case" in history once caused a sensation.
Although Tian Zhongyu was considered a member of the Anhui clan when Duan Qirui was on stage, Tian Zhongyu did not participate in the Anhui War at all. So after the war, when the remnants of "Anfu" were denounced, Tian Zhongyu retained the military governor. position.
?????????????????????????? But Tanaka Yu has lingering fears, and feels that it’s better to be more powerful to be more secure. But for a while, within the Zhili territory, where can we develop our power?
Because he had the same appeal, Zhang Hanqing sent people to propose an alliance to the three parties for urgent help. Tian Zhongyu was the first to support him. Ma Wensheng also needed the support of the other two warlords to gain moral support; and Zhao Ti The self-examination situation was the same as that of Zhang and Tian, ??so he joined this alliance. In fact, this alliance was set up by a few weak warlords for psychological safety. It was purely a paper agreement and had no real power.
Although Qi Xieyuan, the governor of Jiangsu Province, was a direct descendant of Feng Guozhang and Li Chun, his relationship with Cao and Wu was relatively distant, and he was sometimes oppressed by Lu Yongxiang of Zhejiang Province. Therefore, he later asked to join the alliance, so the Three Provinces Alliance became Alliance for the four provinces.
Caught between the two major forces of Zhizhi and Fengxi, Anhui Governor Zhang Wensheng, Shandong Governor Tian Zhongyu and Henan Governor Zhao Ti are all considered miscellaneous. It makes sense for them to huddle together for warmth. However, looking at the map, we can see that the four province alliances of Anhui, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Henan actually regard Wu Peifu as their opponent.
Although it had no effect on weakening Wu Peifu, it was still very inconvenient for Wu Peifu to interfere in the affairs of Anhui, Lu, and Su. In this way, Yan Xishan's Shanxi is to the north, and Zhang Hanqing's Shaanxi is to the west. The only place that can make Wu Peifu stretch his arms is Hubei. However, Wang Zhanyuan, the governor of Hubei, was still part of the Zhili camp. Even though the two sides had no close friendship, Wu Peifu did not dare to use force against the opposition within the faction. The biggest benefit of this alliance is that it limits the development of Wu Peifu's power, and the person who benefits is the People's Army of the Feng faction.
Wu Peifuruo said that he did not realize that this alliance, which was called autonomy but was actually an anti-Wu alliance, was an insult to his IQ. However, just when he was trying to find ways to defeat it, the financial crisis from the Beijing government made the direct line of government in charge Lao Cao Kun was so anxious that he was unable to concentrate on military affairs.
The national finances have been corrupted. Since the founding of the Republic of China, its economy has not been in good shape. Yuan Shikai could barely get by in the first few years of his life, but began to deteriorate rapidly after he became emperor. In order to resist the national protection army, he ordered the Bank of Communications to issue bonds and force their use, causing prices in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei to soar. When Duan Qirui was in power, he cultivated a private army in the name of participating in the war, and the financial situation did not improve. Then came the Zhifeng-Anhui War, and the finances were even worse.
After the Zhili and Fengtian parties jointly controlled the Beijing government, the two sides reached a private agreement: except for a few senior officials who were appointed by the Fengtian clique, the central political arena was basically controlled by the Zhili clique; while the Fengcheng clique gained tacit approval to seize Shaanxi, Gansu and other areas controlled by the Zhili clique. The original Anhui territory was considered useless. Therefore, the Fengxi department is silently trying to make a fortune, and it doesn't care what kind of chaos the central government's finances are in. Anyway, all holes must be filled by the Zhili department.
In the process of fighting against the Feng clique, due to the amazing economic power of the Feng clique, the Zhili clique spent almost all the taxes they could spend on the military. In 1920, the army's military expenditure was 220 million, and the total revenue that year was 602 million (excluding the northeastern provinces). Comparing the Army's military expenditure of 160 million in 1913, the total revenue that year was 597 million (including 199 million in foreign debt repayments), we can see that the Zhili was going on a military rampage, and it was more profitable than before.
Income and expenditure must always be balanced. The fiscal deficit caused by several military trainings has caused public dissatisfaction. People who know the situation of the Fengclan privately hope that the Fengclan can be replaced by the Zhili clique. There is a lot of dissatisfaction among the people. For example, when Gu Hongming answered a foreign reporter at a large banquet on how to stabilize China's political situation, he said in a relaxed and humorous way: "The method is very simple. Pull out all the politicians and bureaucrats sitting here and shoot them. China's political situation will be more stable." "
Although it is just a tidbit, it represents the voice of the people. People's livelihood cannot be ignored. This is the basis of political power on which the Zhili system depends for its survival. Although Cao Kun is the direct boss, he is indifferent, and Wu Peifu has to wipe his ass. At this time, he could only find ways to borrow money from the sponsors such as Britain and the United States.
But Zhang Zuolin made it clear that when the country is poor now, it is no longer allowed to borrow money from foreign governments for military purposes. He arranged for people from the Ministry of Finance to supervise such borrowings throughout the process. At this time, all countries were making plans to reduce their troops. This appeal of Zhang Zuolin's government won the hearts of peace lovers in all countries.
Therefore, Wu Peifu had to return to Beijing to negotiate with the Feng faction, and was helpless about the alliance of the four provinces.
This was one of Zhang Hanqing’s strategies, to hold Wu Peifu back so that he could not interfere with his next move.

Chapter 525 The movement to overthrow the king
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
After the Zhili-Anhui War, all forces were reshuffled, and Hubei, the home base of the Zhili clique, was still occupied by Wang Zhanyuan. At this time, he not only served as the governor of Hubei, but also held the title of patrol envoy to the two lakes.
Wang Zhanyuan is a greedy and domineering warrior. He calls himself the "White Tiger Spirit Reincarnation". He has mediocre talents and is good at plundering. His methods include unlucky copper coins, monopolizing the production of military uniforms, opening a bank account to sell gold, setting up Xincheng Company to sell leather goods, and purchasing military supplies. After being demobilized and returned to work, he purchased real estate in Beijing, Tianjin, Dalian, Baoding and other places. He rented out 3,000 houses in Tianjin alone. In addition, he also invested in industries, including finance, minerals, textiles, food, electricity, etc. How much wealth does he possess? , it is difficult to give a detailed estimate, but it was estimated at the time to be as high as 30 million yuan.
He also held the position of commander of the Second Division. During the Zhi-Anhui War, he detained Wu Guangxin, the commander-in-chief of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River of the Anhui clique, and integrated Wu's army to form two brigades, which were later organized into the 18th Division, with Sun Chuanfang as the division commander. This move expanded his own strength, so he firmly took the position of governor of Hubei Province.
After the war, President Xu Shichang, in accordance with the decision of the Tianjin Conference to punish the culprits of Anfu, ordered the removal of He Peirong from the post of governor of Hubei, and Wang Zhanyuan recommended his in-law Sun Zhenjia to take over. People from all walks of life in Hubei believed that this was Wang Zhanyuan's recruitment of party members and cronies, setting off a "movement to reject Sun", and Sun was therefore unable to take office. Inspired by self-government, the Hubei people started to govern Hubei. In order to stabilize the situation in Hubei, Xu Shichang appointed Xia Shoukang as the governor of Hubei.
Xia Shoukang was a native of Wuhan, Hubei Province. He was a son of an aristocratic family and had two generations of Hanlin scholars, his father and his son. On the second day of the First Uprising of 1911 in Wuchang, I attended the meeting of the Advisory Bureau. The Hubei Governor's Office was established, and he served as deputy minister of the Political Department and later as an advisor to the Governor's Office. In July of the following year, he was appointed director of Hubei Civil Affairs and was promoted to director of civil affairs in October. Xia Shoukang usually did not like to socialize, was taciturn, upright and honest, and won the hearts of the people in Hubei. In 1913, he was transferred to Beijing and immediately took over the post of political historian. During his tenure, he overthrew Wang Zhixin, who had only one hand to cover the sky.
Wang Zhixin is known as the "originator of the Chinese police force." He has been in the police force for more than ten years and has an extraordinary relationship with the then Prime Minister Zhao Bingjun. He is a well-known figure in the capital. At the end of 1913, Wang was promoted to the governor of Jingzhao and became the highest head of the capital. However, Wang Ben is a reckless and greedy person. His official reputation has never been good, and he still has some restraint in the police circles. Once he moves to another official position, he will open his mouth and let go of greed. Jingzhao Prefecture had 24 counties under its jurisdiction at that time. Except for one county magistrate who was exempted because he had a big backing, after the king took office, he actually collected bribes from 23 county magistrates. Each of them paid a few thousand in filial piety, and the stolen money amounted to more than 50,000!
In such a short period of time, under the emperor's feet, such large-scale bribery was rarely heard of even in the more than two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty. Wang dared to do this, firstly, because of his strong police and judicial background, and he thought he had something to rely on; secondly, because he was a confidant of Yuan's Beiyang elder and Prime Minister Zhao Bingjun, and he thought he had a strong political backing; finally, it is said that Yuan Shikai's Wang Zhixin paid a lot of expenses for the eldest son Yuan Keding and others with public funds, and Wang had great skills in raising money himself.
However, he met Xia Shoukang, and after hearing about Wang Zhixin's corrupt behavior, Xia conducted a secret investigation, verified the evidence, and reported it to the president. However, Yuan Shikai's order was extremely fast. Within three days, from the presidential approval to the trial, sentencing and execution in Dali Temple, Wang Zhixin was dead. This incident gave Xia Shoukang an excellent reputation in the political circles of the Republic of China, and he later served as Secretary-General of the Presidential Office of President Li Yuanhong.
Wang Zhanyuan was very dissatisfied with Xia Shoukang's entry into Hubei. On the 27th, he sent a telegram to Beijing claiming to be sick and asked for leave, secretly launching a rebellion against Xia. Xia Shoukang was unarmed and did not dare to move to Wuchang for a long time. The Hubei people were outraged by the fact that such an official governor with a good reputation was treated like this, and they strongly demanded that Wang Zhanyuan be expelled.
At the beginning of the year, Wang Zhanyuan was awarded the title of "Zhuangwei General" by the Jin Dynasty after he eliminated the oppression of the Sichuan army and retreated from Kui Wu's Lan Tianwei, Li Caicai, Wu Xinghan and other troops in western Hubei. On March 1, Wang Zhanyuan, the governor of Hubei, convened a meeting of representatives from Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Hunan, and Jiangxi provinces to establish a "joint defense treaty", which was then rumored to be a seven-province alliance. During his tenure, he imposed excessive taxes and withheld military pay. Mutinies occurred continuously in Hubei, and Hubei "overthrew the king." Movement" surged rapidly.
On April 23, Wang Zhanyuan was invited to go north to attend the "Big Four Meeting" of Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin in Tianjin, led by Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng. On April 27, he participated in a telegram to oppose Guangzhou's election of Sun Yat-sen as the very president. At the end of the meeting on May 4, matters such as cabinet reorganization, land allocation, and finance were discussed, and it was determined that the Yangtze River Basin and Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou would be returned to Wang Zhanyuan. Wang Zhanyuan boasted at the meeting that "Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan will not be attached to the north."
At this time, the Beijing government encountered an unprecedented financial crisis. Originally, since the beginning of 1921, a wave of "poverty" had surged across the country. Military expenditures had been in arrears for eight or nine months, and warlords in various provinces sent telegrams to demand military pay. Because wages could not be paid on time (the Feng faction's strategy will be described in detail later), mutinies occurred from time to time, with soldiers turning in groups, burning, killing, and looting. Because the warlords in various provinces had no way of collecting money, they openly withheld local national taxes, even withheld funds from the Beijing-Hankou Road, issued provincial treasury bonds indiscriminately, and issued local public bonds without authorization.
Only the Feng system?? support.
After the "Hunan people governing Hunan" broke out in Hunan, Wang Zhanyuan, a Shandong native who was in charge of the government in Hubei, attracted even more attention from people in Hubei Province because he used many of his fellow villagers. Hubei people imitated Hunan's example and also shouted the slogan that Hubei people govern Hubei.
According to official history, in order to expel Wang Zhanyuan, the Hubei people persuaded Zhao Hengti to send troops north to help expel Wang Zhanyuan, and promised many benefits: after the Hunan army sent troops to help Hubei expel the king, they could garrison two divisions in southern Hubei, and their military salaries would be provided by Hubei. The Hunan Army can also control the Hanyang Arsenal to ensure reliable supply of arms.
But time has reversed, and the situation is completely different from history. After Zhang Hanqing's Northwest People's Army stabilized the northwest, it caused quite a sensation in the hearts of Hubei people in neighboring provinces: the People's Army does not disturb the people, the People's Army believes in "three dishes cooking righteousness", and the People's Military and Government | The collusion between government and businessmen and their commitment to economic development make the province of Shouyi seem to have seen the grandeur of the revolutionary army again.
“Furthermore, the People’s Army originated from the Fengcian clique and fought fiercely with the Zhili clique for power in Beijing. As long as the People’s Army is allowed to intervene, I’m afraid Wu Peifu will also have to weigh three points. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Li Shucheng, the host of the "King Overthrow Movement", personally contacted Zhang Hanqing on behalf of Hubei Province.
Hubei, which is separated from Shaanxi by a strip of water, has long been in Zhang Hanqing’s eyes. Since ancient times, there has been a saying in China that "Huguang is well versed in the world". Hubei, known as "the thoroughfare of nine provinces", has outstanding people and is known as "nine-headed birds in the sky and Hubei guys underground" to describe the shrewdness of its local people. At that time, Wuchang, the provincial capital, was a famous city with the highest priority. It was located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and controlled the north-south transportation hub. Wuchang relied on the Yangtze River's strong sky, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The river below the Qingshan Mountain was defended by the navy. There were concessions from various countries above the Qingshan Mountain, and the enemy could not pass through. Wuchang City Lining the river, it is not easy to forcefully cross the river and land on the shore.
Hanyang Arsenal is also another important factor: Hanyang Arsenal, Shenyang Arsenal and Taiyuan Arsenal are known as the three major arsenals of the Republic of China. Although Liaoning now far surpasses Hanyang in terms of military industry capabilities, Lanzhou Arsenal is believed to soon stand out and become one of the largest arsenals with huge investment. The fourth largest, but as an important military supply base in the belly of China, it is still coveted by all parties - Hanyang was also famous for manufacturing rifles during the Anti-Japanese War. Wu Peifu was not interested in the position of deputy envoy to Luyu, but he had a soft spot for Hubei Province, and he also took a fancy to Hubei's military potential, financial and material resources. For the Northwest People's Army, because the Lanzhou Arsenal is under preparation and the Beijing-Hankou Railway and Jinpu Railway are controlled by the Zhili Clique, all military supplies needed by the army need to be transferred from Beijing to Suizhou, and then transferred to Lanzhou via Ningxia and northern Shaanxi. Everywhere is difficult. After the victory in Wuhan, Zhang Hanqing's Northwest People's Army, China's earliest arsenal, had the opportunity to be supplemented nearby, thus forming a lasting combat effectiveness.
In terms of economic development, Hanyeping Company, located in Lianghu, is the largest steel company in China and has unique advantages in developing industry. 1,000-ton ships on the Yangtze River east of Wuchang can freely go to sea and have good water transportation conditions. Therefore, it is also the last station of the British and American sphere of influence on the Yangtze River. There are other important railway trunk lines, the Beijing-Hankong Railway and the Guangdong-Hankou Railway, whose intersection is also in Wuhan (currently, due to the complicated terrain and difficult engineering of the section from Shaoguan to Zhuzhou, which is more than 400 kilometers, the Guangdong-Hankou Railway only extends to the Zhuzhou section. Historically, the Zhuzhou section The Shao section was delayed until 1936 before it was fully opened to traffic. At that time, it was known as the railway with the highest railway engineering and construction standards in China. At the same time, due to the opening of the Wuhan Yangtze River section railway ferry, the Guangdong-Hankou Railway was announced to be connected), Jinghan means Beijing to Hankou, Guangdong-Hankou Guangzhou to Wuchang is the most important north-south railway trunk line in China. It connects six provincial capitals, dozens of large and medium-sized cities, and is connected to multiple railways. It plays an extraordinary role in China's national economy. role.
Moreover, once Hubei Province is under its control, the Beijing-Hankou Railway, one of the two major transportation (and economic) pillars that the Zhili Clan relies on to navigate China's political arena, will be owned by the Zhili and Fengtian (People's Army), declaring its advantage in rapid troop transport in the future Central Plains battlefield. Vanished.
Zhang Hanqing had been planning for several months to enter Hubei, and now he finally had this good opportunity. Therefore, Li Jinglin's 5th Division and the newly reorganized 6th Division of the Jingguo Army Hu Jingyi formed the East Route Army to guard Tongguan, with Hu Jingyi as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. The 2nd Division of the Northwest People's Army and the 4th Cavalry Division formed the Southern Route Army, which was stationed in Ankang, Shangnan and other cities on the border of Shaanxi and Hubei, and was personally led by Zhang Hanqing and Han Linchun. Both armies were well prepared to enter Hubei and were waiting for the opportunity.
In order to ensure that the Northwest People's Army has the justice to send troops and to avoid causing resentment among the Hubei people as much as possible, Zhang Hanqing and Hubei representative Li Shucheng made the following guarantees:
? 1. After the king is successfully driven out, the entire Hubei province will implement "autonomy", abolish the military governor, and immediately hold an elected provincial governor;
2. The Northwest People's Army only sent one division to be stationed in Hankou, and military expenses were provided by the Hubei Province's financial quota;
3. The Northwest People’s Army only requires the management rights of Hanyang Arsenal;
4. The Northwest People’s Army will ensure the public security and economic stability of Hubei Province, as well as the interests of Chinese and foreign parties in Hubei;
5. Unless requested by the government, the troops stationed in Hubei will never interfere with local police and government affairs;
6. The troops stationed in Hubei will negotiate with the north and south and warlords from all parties to ensure that Hubei is a neutral place and will not be disturbed by all parties.
In order to attract the Hubei army to the maximum extent, Zhang Hanqing sent representatives to lure Zhao Hengti from Hunan to send troops north on the grounds that Zhili and Feng were at odds, and promised that the Northwest People's Army and Fengjun would act as a strong restraint for Wu Peifu to join the war group.
In addition, Zhang Hanqing also took the opportunity of Xu Lanzhou's return to Beijing to "report on his work" and sent him to communicate in detail with Zhang Zuolin stationed in Shenyang, Sun Liechen, and Guo Songling in Tianjin about the situation in Central China, and asked the North China Army to be prepared to attack along the Beijing-Hankou Road and the Han Dynasty once Wu Peifu sent troops. Jinpu Road sent troops to cover its retreat. When they foresaw the prospect of the Northwestern People's Army taking over Hubei and greatly increasing the strength of Fengjun's army, the senior officials in Fengjun's military and government almost went crazy. Zhang Zuolin mobilized two divisions of the Northeastern Route Guard Army to immediately leave the border, and adopted a high-pressure posture, so as to prevent Wu Peifu's troops from moving lightly when the war started in the south.
Even so, the borders of Shaanxi and Hubei are close to each other."With Zhang Zuolin's current influence, what does this position mean?" This strengthened his determination. Although Feng Yuxiang was driven out of a foothold by Zhang Hanqing in the previous battle for Shaanxi, he actually appreciated Zhang Hanqing's methods when the situation was hostile. Politics is dirty, military is tricky, and heroes always cherish each other.
The Northwest People's Army began to secretly recruit ships to transport artillery and baggage. Prepare to take advantage of the People's Army's new weapons and send a lightly-armed unit into Hubei in advance. Under the leadership of Li Shucheng, organize the preparation of military supplies and fodder in the towns along the Han River.
Before the war even started, the Zhili clique was already torn apart, which made the people's army have a very high chance of winning this war and their confidence doubled. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 527 Surprise Attack
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
On July 20, Hunan Governor Zhao Hengti was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the aid to Hubei, and Song Hegeng of the first division of the Hunan Army was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the aid to Hubei. On the 21st, two divisions of the Hunan Army attacked Hubei from Yuezhou. In the official history, he still dared to attack Hubei alone without any backup, and he was even more confident after receiving the support and guarantee from Marshal Fengjun.
Wang Zhanyuan urgently ordered Sun Chuanfang, commander of the 18th Division, to be the commander of the front enemy line in the middle, Liu Yuelong to be the commander to the left, and Wang Duqing to be the commander of the right. On the 25th, the Western Hubei Army was transferred to Puqi to deploy defenses. The main force of the Hubei Army has been deployed in southern Hubei. Except for a small number of troops stationed in the north, its strength is extremely empty. The situation is extremely favorable to the People's Army.
The reason why Wang Zhanyuan dared to make such a desperate move was because he had Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang and others behind him. When he thought about it, he had personal grudges with Feng, Wu and others. If they were in the same camp, they would definitely not be happy to see the People's Army enter Hubei. While both Zhizhi and Fengxi were still maintaining superficial harmony, Zhang Hanqing did not dare to start a war. Besides, there are many mountainous roads in northern Hubei. If the People's Army wants to invade in a large scale, it is impossible for there to be no warnings in various places.
But many things start unexpectedly. The army stationed in northern Hubei had already reached an agreement with the rebel forces to let the People's Army into Hubei because of his corruption, just because Zhang Hanqing agreed that the People's Army would distribute their military pay and make up for it after the war. His salary arrears within a few years
In this way, without anyone noticing, after five days of rapid march, the 4th Cavalry Division of the Right Route Army of the Northwest Army arrived at Zhongxiang County in the Jingmen area. Since the counties and cities in northwest Hubei welcomed the Northwest People's Army's entry into Hubei, and transportation was very inconvenient, by the time Wang Zhanyuan learned the news, the forwards of the 4th Division had already crossed the source of the Tianmen River and were heading towards Jingshan.
Zhang Hanqing then officially issued a statement: "In response to the request of the people of Hubei Province, my commander has taken it upon himself to expel Wang Zhanyuan and savior all the people from fire and water. Wherever he goes, Qiu will not commit any crime. Now that the matter has been accomplished, I must strictly abide by the oath made the day before yesterday and focus on During the autonomous election in Hubei Province, Xueliang and his subordinates will never seek any position in Hubei Province."
The armies of Hunan and Hubei started fighting with each other winning or losing. It was at a time when they were inseparable. Liu Xiang of Sichuan also joined in the fun and invaded Hubei from the west. Liu Xiang was the first to respond to Zhao Hengti's call for joint provincial autonomy, and of course he came to help destroy Wang Zhanyuan. Coupled with the fact that the People's Army was inserting a force from behind, Wang Zhanyuan immediately couldn't stand it any longer. The situation was critical, so he asked Wu Peifu for help. His friend Jin Yun'e of the 8th Mixed Brigade was also preparing to send aid from Henan.
The Northwest People's Army moved so fast that even Wu Peifu was caught off guard. Although Wang Zhanyuan was not tolerated by him, he could still be regarded as a stable rear line. He has already regarded Hubei as a piece of meat in his mouth, how can he easily give it to others, and the opponent is his archenemy in controlling the central government? Therefore, Feng Yuxiang's troops were urgently ordered to send troops nearby to occupy Hankou first in the name of aiding Hubei. Xiao Yaonan was also appointed as the commander-in-chief of aid to Hubei and set off immediately.
In his opinion, although Zhongxiang and Xinyang are only 300 miles away from Hankou, they are already conveniently connected by railways. Feng Yuxiang's troops can reach Hankou in less than half a day. Unless they fly, the "mud-legged" soldiers of the People's Army will not be able to reach Hankou. There is no way to catch up anyway.
His wishful thinking was that since both Zhao Hengti and Zhang Hanqing clamored for "E people to rule Hubei", he sent Xiao Yaonan, commander of the 25th Division, as the commander-in-chief to aid Hubei, and this Xiao Yaonan was a Hubei native! When Xiao Yaonan arrived in Wuchang, he replaced Wang Zhanyuan, and was appointed by the Beijing government as the governor of Hubei. This time it was really "the people of Hubei governing Hubei". Let's see what reason Zhao Hengti and Zhang Hanqing have to continue to attack Hubei!
Feng Yuxiang expressed complete obedience to Wu Peifu's order to send troops to Hubei, but requested preparation time on the grounds of insufficient military preparations and insufficient supply of weapons and ammunition.
Soldiers are expensive and quick, how can there be room for bargaining at this time? Wu Peifu was so angry that he had to say that Feng's troops could go ahead and supplies would be quickly followed by Xiao Yaonan's army.
“ Then Feng Yuxiang used a series of excuses such as train maintenance and driver strikes to delay the operation for several days, but it just couldn’t move.
Wu Peifu finally understood that Feng Yuxiang was determined not to get involved in rescuing Hubei, but this had already been delayed for a day. He decided to put Feng Yuxiang aside and urgently ordered Xiao Yaonan's troops to get ready.
The People's Army was marching in the high mountains. Because the troops were moving too hastily, the cavalry arrived in Suizhou, while the infantry was still in Xiangfan, and the heavy firepower was in Shiyan. In order to gain buffer time, Zhang Hanqing issued a telegram, stating that the People's Army was at the request of the people of Hubei Province and "the troops are famous"; Wu Peifu took the opportunity to get involved in Hubei with "ulterior motives"; the people of Hubei Province should recognize the situation clearly and prevent Xiao Jun from entering. Hubei.
These words seem to be just the words used by the warring parties to argue for their own efforts to send troops, and are not worth mentioning. However, the people of Hubei Province seemed to believe that Wu Peifu's army was here to hinder the plan of "E people ruling Hubei". People along the Beijing-Hankou Line spontaneously blocked the train from entering, almost paralyzing it.Paralyzed the entire line.
Starting from Jigong Mountain at the junction of Henan and Hubei, all the way through Wushengguan and Dawu, hundreds of people spontaneously swarmed onto the railway line almost every few miles, or blocked the traffic with large rocks to let the full The army train cannot move forward. Xiao Yaonan, who was in a hurry, had to arrange for officers and soldiers to get off the train to persuade the crowd and remove obstacles, causing the train to move slower than a tortoise.
Wu Peifu was extremely angry after learning the news and ordered Xiao Yaonan to severely punish people who obstructed traffic on the spot. "How much time do you think this is going to buy them? Xinyang and Wuhan are so close. Even if the train is walking at a walking speed, it will definitely reach Wuhan before the People's Army!" Wu Peifu sneered at the People's Army's entry into Hubei. respond.
With strict orders on one side and the "bewitched" people who are defenseless on the other, Xiao Yaonan is in a dilemma, and his anger is getting bigger and bigger. A day later, he too was on the verge of an outbreak.
At this critical juncture, Zhang Zuolin, who was far away in Shenyang, "coincidentally" also issued a eloquent "overthrow the king" declaration, criticizing Wang Zhanyuan for "embezzling public funds, condoning military rebellion, harming provincial affairs, and being unable to protect the country", and openly stated: " "E people govern Hubei" is the best way to solve the current situation. All forces should respect public opinion and use the orders of the central government as a guide to assist Hubei and protect the people.
Both sides are trying to build momentum and create opportunities for themselves, but they are actually trying to avoid giving the other party an excuse to start a war. However, the hostility between the Zhizhi and Fengxi factions has troubled President Xu Shichang and Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng. The two heads of state have no soldiers, food or money. They always look at Zhizhi and act with a wink, and they try their best to keep a bowl of water in check. At a time when these two pillars are at loggerheads, we have to be in a dilemma.
President Xu issued a message asking both sides to exercise restraint and send representatives to each other or hold a summit meeting directly in Tianjin. While Zhang Zuolin was displaying troops on Jinghan Road and Jinpu Road, he lazily and deliberately delayed the call for a day to express his approval. In essence, he was giving the Northwest People's Army time.
Cao Kun was very nervous when facing Fengjun's posture, and sent someone to express his determination to Zhang Zuolin that he would never go to war. At the same time, he sent a telegram to Wu Peifu to persuade him not to act too radically, especially when he was supposed to save the people of Hubei. The troops aiding Hubei cannot have large-scale conflicts with the Hubei people, as that will give Zhang Zuolin an excuse.
Some thinking delayed Wu Peifu's determination to launch troops. He hesitated after thinking over and over again, delaying another precious day.
And when the military order was finally given to Xiao Yaonan to "repulse" the people along the railway, Xiao's plan to move south quickly was completely disrupted. As the military under the central government, both the Zhili and Feng factions have the obligation to maintain synchronization with the central government. If Xiao Yaonan provokes civil unrest, he will be unnamed. His "aid to Hubei" is to openly oppose the Central Committee. In this way, Fengjun will naturally have a moral advantage.
Among the blocking crowd, a radical kept encouraging the people while looking anxiously at the almost motionless sun. "I have fought for another day. If the army fails to arrive again, there is nothing I can do."
This is the hidden power of the Central Investigation Department of the People's Army in Hubei, which secretly developed here almost two years ago. The Beijing-Hankong Line was the focus of the Zhili-Fengtian struggle, so much so that the Hubei branch also established a branch on this line. At the critical moment, they received instructions to delay the dispatch of Henan's aid troops to Hubei as much as possible to give the People's Army time.
At the same time, Li Jinglin's infantry division was also shuttled through the mountains. After the 4th Division and the 5th Division met in Xiangyang, they split into two groups. The cavalry troops moved down the river. Because his troops were good at marching, they were placed in the mountains on the left side. The goal of both divisions is to control the Beijing-Hankou Road nearby and prevent the Zhili Army from moving south. Otherwise, even if the four mobile divisions of the People's Army are filled into Hubei, they will only be evenly matched with the Zhili Army.
The young marshal's judgment is that the two armies are like two armed giants, and neither one dares to take the lead in challenging the other. Whoever controls the railway line has a first-mover advantage in negotiations. Now, his troops have arrived in Suizhou, and are geographically on the same starting line as the Zhili army that left the province in Xinyang. However, they are taking a train, and we have two legs. The advantages and disadvantages can be known at a glance.
Theoretically, the closest place from Suizhou to the Beijing-Hankow Railway is Dawu, but this section of the road is very difficult to travel, but the road to Xiaochang via Anlu is relatively better. After knowing that the forward of the 4th Cavalry Division who was traveling at the same time had just reached Jingshan and had changed its plan to capture Wuhan to capture Xiaogan to block the railway, he was under even greater pressure.
This is a change that the 4th Division made as a last resort after hearing that the Zhili Army was about to move south. If the troops entered Wuhan according to the plan, they would most likely encounter a scene where they would join the Zhili Army under the city walls of Wuhan
This is a melee situation that was tried hard to avoid before the war. The People's Army extended its forward front too far and had no advantage over the Zhili. It would be at a disadvantage in subsequent conflicts. In this way, if there is trouble between Zhili and Fengtian in the future, the Fengjun in the Northeast will still have to worry about the survival of their force.
After listening to Zhang Hanqing's telegram, a "third column" was already buying them time. Although he didn't know where this force was, since the young marshal said it, it meant that there was still a good chance of fighting for it, so Li Jinglin ordered the vanguard to tighten up. Put on leggings and rush to your destination in a continuous sprint. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Where is this force? But since the young marshal said it, it means there is still a good chance to fight for it, so Li Jinglin ordered the leading troops to tighten their leggings and rush to the destination in a continuous sprint.

Chapter 528 The king falls
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Cao Kun, the leader of the Zhili clique, could not withstand the aggressive momentum of the Feng clique, so he sent a telegram to Wu Peifu to maintain restraint, and the "Army to Aid Hubei" was not allowed to have a head-on conflict with the Northwest People's Army. Wu Peifu was disobeying the situation, and while supervising Xiao Yaonan's departure, he sent a telegram to express his agreement with the Hubei people to govern Hubei. He also stated that the main task of "aiding the Hubei army" was to expel the threat of the Hunan army. After the war, he should follow the wishes of the Hubei people and strive to protect Hubei's autonomy.
As for the conflict with the People's Army, he said magnanimously: "After the People's Army enters Hubei, the areas occupied by each will be used as boundaries. The Zhili Army will never cross the border." This is because he estimated that he would definitely enter before the People's Army. Hubei, we are setting a trap for the People's Army. After Xiao Yaonan advanced to Wuhan, the People's Army naturally could not take a step further, and the three towns of Wuhan could easily become theirs.
?????????????????????????? But God’s calculations are not as good as those of man. He never imagined in his wildest dreams that the strong guy could not outrun the “mud legs”!
In these two and a half days, while the vanguard of Zhang Chengde's cavalry division had arrived at the gates of Hankou City, the vanguard of Xiao Yaonan's 25th Division was still close to Xiaochang. When the first military vehicle was forced to stop at Xiaochang Station, the Zhili troops were shocked to see the sweating soldiers of the Northwest People's Army and the bright five-star red flag flying at Xiaochang Station.
Li Jinglin walked 800 miles at a fast pace and outran nearly half of the Zhijun troops that were larger than him. Although there were various assisting factors, the distance he ran down was real. When China entered the Republic of China era, no army had ever advanced so fast. Li Jinglin became famous in the first battle, and his 5th Division was also called the "Quick March Army"!
Xiao Yaonan learned the news at 2 p.m. He didn't believe his ears. It wasn't until he saw an infantry company commander at the People's Army garrison station asking to talk to the Zhili Army that he really admitted that the Northwest People's Army had completely outrun his troops. !
Looking at the neat row of mortars shining with black light, Xiao Yaonan suddenly felt at a loss: it was impossible to continue southward. The People's Army controlled the train traffic going south to Hankou. I'm afraid that Hankou is now in Zhang Hanqing's hands, right? In the war, we have to run the risk of an all-out war between the Zhili and Fengxi armies; in the war, the initiative is already in the hands of the People's Army.
Because Zhang Hanqing sent a telegram that day and stated: "The People's Army has seized Hanchuan. The first group is responsible for protecting Hankou and Wuchang, and the second group is responsible for persuading the Hunan Army and Sichuan Army to retreat. He also advised other parties to 'aid the Hubei Army' to consider the welfare of the people of Hubei." , suspend the use of troops, and do not 'just wait and see the success or failure in the name of aiding Hubei, and seize the fruits of the harvest'."
Wu Peifu seemed to be pushed from the top of the mountain into the abyss.
This Zhang Hanqing is not a big deal, he is ahead of him in everything, and he is always in the middle of his schemes. He and Zhang Hanqing both used the banner of "aiding Hubei", but one walked and the other took the railway, but he fell behind. Zhang Hanqing said that he "sit back and watch success or failure", and he couldn't argue with that. If he forcibly rushes through Xiaochang, the big hat of "grabbing the fruits" will really be suppressed. At this time, it is almost foreseeable that public opinion will be unfavorable to him. Moreover, Feng Xiu took this opportunity to steal his retreat. He knew clearly that only a small number of vanguard troops entered the city of Hankou. As long as the Zhizhi Army charged, the situation in Wuhan might be settled. But this order was so difficult!
Seeing that the situation was tense, Wang Zhanyuan even called for reinforcements from the Zhizhi Army. However, Xiao Yaonan did not receive the telegram and did not advance further. From Wang Zhanyuan's point of view, he really seemed to be sitting on a mountain watching the fight between tigers, preparing to occupy the magpie's nest, and uniting with the Hunan army to drive him out of power.
In the following days, Lu Diping, the second division of the Hunan Army, captured Zhaoli Bridge and defeated Sun Chuanfang's troops of the 18th Division. The right wing of the Hunan Army defeated Putong's garrison Liu Yuelong and occupied Tongcheng. On the 6th, the Hunan Army captured Zhaoli Bridge and Sun Chuanfang's troops. The tribe retreated to Puqi (now Chibi). At this time, Zhang Hanqing personally led the main force of the 3rd Division to Caidian, which was not far away at night.
Caidian is the west gate of Wuhan, where a brigade of Wang Zhanyuan's direct troops was stationed. However, the People's Army used tens of thousands of artillery shells to scare them away. In just half a day, Caidian fell.
It is unimaginable that a tired division could cripple an elite brigade in half a day. The situation is irreversible. But where did their shells come from? Are cannons flying from the sky? Wang Zhanyuan, who was completely puzzled, was dumbfounded after receiving the news. Even Xiao Yaonan, who was at a loss in Xiaochang, was also shocked, and was glad that he did not become an enemy of the People's Army in the end.
In fact, it doesn’t matter much. The cannon that made a great contribution this time should be said to be a small cannon. It is the mortar, a unique new weapon of the People’s Army.
"At the beginning of the war, given the rugged mountain roads in the northwest, even the 75mm light mountain cannon was not suitable for mobile use. It was imperative to develop lighter and more convenient infantry to accompany the small artillery. In Zhang Hanqing's already formed knowledge, the mortar is the most suitable: it has a simple structure, is light and flexible, has a large fire coverage area, and has strong lethality. It is an effective weapon for infantry close fire support.
With a simple structure, Shenyang soldiers canThe limited manufacturing capacity of the factory can be easily copied, and the cost is only one-tenth or even less of the mountain gun; it is light and flexible, allowing a larger amount of equipment to be equipped within the limited transportation capacity.
As far as two years ago, Zhang Hanqing obtained through German consultants a 1914-made 76mm mortar that was fashionable and mass-produced by Germany during World War I. Its barrel was only over one foot (5.2 times the caliber) and weighed only 100 kilograms. , the cannonball weighs only 9 pounds. In this way, any war horse can easily load two doors. On the other hand, it takes six horses to pull a mountain cannon.
The key is that Lanzhou Arsenal can produce them immediately after receiving a batch of machines, which can free up manpower for Shenyang Arsenal to produce more urgently needed mountain cannons As of this war, Lanzhou Arsenal has been able to independently build 20 guns at a very low cost. …
Several divisions of the People’s Army, including the cavalry division, are equipped with this mortar. It may not be of much use in attacking fortresses, and it is still far behind the more well-equipped foreign armies of the same period, but it is sufficient in domestic wars.
Because of its convenient transportation, the mortar group was already in place just a few days after the leading troops arrived at their destination. Zhang Hanqing was determined to suppress the enemy's stubborn resistance in a battle, and the artillery shells he finally transported were used up at once, which of course achieved a huge shocking effect.
Seeing that the People's Army's offensive was so sharp, Xiao Yao, who had set out for a long time, failed to arrive. The situation had reached this point. Wang Zhanyuan no longer had the will to fight and decided to make peace with the People's Army alone. He sent a special envoy to contact Zhang Hanqing, and was prepared to agree to Zhang Hanqing's garrison in Hubei and use Hubei's finances to support two divisions of the People's Army in exchange for Zhang Hanqing's support in continuing to serve as the governor of Hubei. Otherwise, he will "fight to the death to clear the name of the Hubei army!"
At this time, the armies of Hunan, Sichuan, and Henan were all watching the surrounding areas, and Wang Zhanyuan still had two divisions and one brigade available for combat. Although the People's Army has entered three divisions, most of them are light cavalry infantry, and heavy weapons are still behind. If Wang Zhanyuan really holds on or simply lets other troops enter Hubei, it will be extremely detrimental to the People's Army.
So Ji Yiqiao really wanted to persuade Zhang Hanqing to agree to this resolution. In his opinion, with two divisions here, Hubei is basically in the middle. A defeated Hubei governor will also be beneficial to the People's Army's control of Hubei Province.
But Zhang Hanqing would not agree. He told Commander Ji Yiqiao and Qi Enming: "We came in in the name of defeating Wang Zhanyuan and helping Hubei's autonomy, but we still let him sit in this position. Where is our credibility? And it gave Wu Peifu an excuse to stay in Hubei. Beijing The Han-Han Railway and the Jin-Pu Railway are like two legs of the Zhili Railway. Now that we control half of the Beijing-Hankou Line, it is equivalent to making the giant Zhili Railway lame on one leg. Besides, based on our understanding of Wang Zhanyuan, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he will not It would really be a dead end. Otherwise, why would he still carry his family wealth with him on the front line? That is a typical situation where things are not going right.
We don’t want his life, but we want him to hand over Wuhan peacefully. I have a suggestion. As long as he can get the whole army to surrender, we can let him leave Hubei safely with his personal belongings. It will also be through his mouth that everyone in the immediate family can recognize Wu Peifu's true face. He smiled slyly: "Who told him not to do his best to help his comrades?" "
Seeing that Zhang Hanqing’s attitude was so resolute, and the offensives of the Hunan Army and Sichuan Army continued unabated, Hubei could no longer avoid the fate of failure. It was just a matter of who would win. Wang Zhanyuan decided to express his sincerity to Zhang Hanqing. Firstly, Wuhan was already in front of the People's Army. To save his last bit of wealth, the People's Army must let go; secondly, neither the Hunan Army nor the Sichuan Army was much better than the People's Army. Instead of giving them an advantage, Wang Zhanyuan decided to surrender to Zhang Hanqing. Might as well give it to Zhang Hanqing - after all, after leaving the country, he still has to survive in Tianjin under the control of the Feng clique. As for Xiao Yao Nan of the Wu faction, he would rather break it than take advantage of them!
So Wang Zhanyuan sent a telegram to all parties to explain the reason for the defeat, blaming the responsibility on Xiao Yaonan's avoidance of the battle: "our army fought fiercely with the enemy for eight days and nights, and was extremely trapped. Commander-in-chief Xiao had been in Han Dynasty for more than five days, and he did business and asked for help. Although he graciously agreed, the plan was to wait for the entire army to gather before it could advance. However, the Jin Brigade that had arrived at the front could not fight freely because it had not received orders from the Commander-in-Chief. The Hubei army on the front line refused to advance because of the reinforcements, so they rushed to the front. After retreating, the overall situation is unmanageable. It is the responsibility of occupying Yuan to protect the territory, but there is no way to recover. We must follow the general order of Commander Zhang Hanqing and welcome the Shaanxi army into Hubei to save the unfavorable situation and save all the people from fire and water."
On the second day, after receiving Zhang Hanqing's reply to guarantee his family, property and personal dignity, an angry Wang Zhanyuan ordered the provincial garrison to welcome Zhang Hanqing into Wuchang City, and all the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Division under his command obeyed the assistance of the Northwest People's Army. The command of the Hubei Army.
On the same day, Tong Tong resigned via telephone, expressing his resignation from the post of governor of Hubei Province. He was both sarcastic and sarcastic towards the direct leaders Cao Kun and Wu Peifu. The telegram said: "In recent years, there have been many incidents in the country, and political tides have arisen one after another. In the meantime, the two ministers have been presiding over the affairs of the country and jointly safeguarding the overall situation. Recently, a cabinet issue has occurred, and there has been a lot of speculation. It is also worth the troops of both sides, and there are The move to change defenses was like a snake in a cup but a tiger in a cup, which aroused more alarm and suspicion, and the road was rough, and it was said that war was imminent. In fact, when Fengjun entered the pass, it was said that Zhongshuai had agreed that the two commanders would have Fengzhi's family again, and they should discuss it with Cao Envoy The remonstrance of the final safety measure and the purpose of peace between the two princes can be seen clearly Now the human relations between Beijing and Tianjin have been extremely shaken, and the food and finance are in danger, which cannot be explained by empty words. The powerful people of the two princes must meet in person to discuss business. , It is not enough to put an end to the unexpected rumors, and determine the future of the country"
On the 11th, Wang Zhanyuan left Wuchang east and fled to Tianjin with a large amount of property he had looted in Hubei. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)He was startled and doubtful, the road was rough, and it seemed that war was imminent. In fact, when Fengjun entered the pass, it was heard that Commander-in-Chief Zhong had agreed that the two commanders-in-chief once again had the Fengzhi family, and they should discuss the final safety measures with the envoy Cao. …Nowadays, the relationship between Beijing and Tianjin is extremely shaken, and the food and finance are in danger, which cannot be explained by empty words.

Zhang Hanqing’s entry into Hubei so quickly was a big shock to all parties. Especially the 5th Infantry Division, which marched for five consecutive days, covering nearly 800 miles, and managed to escape on two legs. It was in this battle that the 5th Division gained the reputation of "Scud", and Li Jinglin became one of the five tiger generals of the Fengjun Army, attracting the attention of all parties.
As the first Chinese to appear on the cover of Time Magazine in the United States, Wu Peifu was once called "the biggest man in china", which can be translated as "the strongest man in China". He was the agent of British and American imperialism in China. They believed that Wu Peifu was an ideal candidate and called him "the great hero of New China", better than Zhang Zuolin. They spared no effort to support Wu Peifu, providing guns and money to sending consultants, organizing and training aircraft fleets.
Hubei has always been the sphere of influence of the Zhili clique, and Wu Peifu has always regarded it as his own backyard. The successive losses of Hankou and Wuchang made warlords from all sides doubt Wu's strength, and Britain, the United States and other countries also expressed deep concern.
And Zhang Hanqing, who once again made a splash, is now bargaining with the Central Committee for the legal status of being stationed in Hubei. He wants to be appointed as the inspection envoy of Shaanxi, Gansu and Hubei, so that his intervention in the situation in Hubei will be legally justified.
Wu Peifu clearly denied it. Regardless of how much benefit this will bring to the development of the People's Army, it is unacceptable for Zhang Hanqing to serve as a patrol envoy for three provinces as a junior. Even if you want to run your own business for many years, you can only serve as a deputy envoy to inspect Shandong and Henan. In fact, you can't control Shandong!
But the influence of the Feng clan was so great that he never expected. First of all, Zhang Zuolin spared no effort to do this, saying that the People's Army was entrusted by the people of Hubei Province to defeat Wang Zhanyuan. At this time, it was also stabilizing the Sichuan and Hunan border. Its contribution was not small, and it was natural to be awarded the post of patrol envoy.
Business people in Beijing and Tianjin have also launched petitions to put pressure on them, believing that Zhang Hanqing has the finishing touch and will be able to stabilize Wuhan's economy, which is on the verge of collapse. The chief ministers of the central government and peripheral figures also continue to exert pressure, believing that Hubei is now on the verge of collapse. In the provincial situation, no one but Zhang Hanqing can be accepted by all parties.
??And Wang Zhanyuan and Wang Chengbin, both of the direct lineage, also spoke for Zhang Hanqing, which is a bit confusing.
Since Wang Zhanyuan went north to Tianjin, his exaggeration also caused Wu Peifu's reputation among the Zhili to plummet. No matter how you put it, Xiao Yao, who was very close to the south, took the train south but did not run across the two legs of the People's Army, which was farther away. No explanation will work, and it can only be understood as killing someone with a borrowed knife. However, they are both from the same lineage, and at this critical moment, the coach still did such a thing that made people hate each other, which can't help but make people doubt Wu's caliber. Based on this anger, Wang Zhanyuan strongly supported everything Wu Peifu opposed, and even made him feel disgusted.
The direct line originally had three major tributaries: Wu Peifu, Wang Zhanyuan, and Wang Chengbin. Now that Wang Zhanyuan has fallen, Wu Peifu's power is even more prominent. As the mayor of Beijing, Wang Chengbin was extremely afraid of this. He kept conveying his sincerity to the Feng clique and persuaded Cao Kun not to turn against the Feng clique at this time. At present, Hubei is in fact occupied by the People's Army, and a nominal patrol envoy's position cannot change anything.
Under this circumstance, the central government approved the appointment of Zhang Hanqing as the patrol envoy to Shaanxi, Gansu and Hubei. This made Zhang Hanqing the third patrol envoy to serve in three provinces in the history of the Republic of China after Zhang Zuolin and Cao Kun, and his power and influence was even greater than that of Cao Kun.
At this time, the situation in Hubei was complicated: the Northwest People's Army controlled various cities along the Han River Basin in northwest Hubei: Xiangfan, Yicheng, Zhongxiang, Jingshan, Yingcheng and Xiaogan. After the 4th Cavalry Division entered Hankou and Wuchang, the 3rd Division effortlessly captured Jingmen. A Zhao Minggao Brigade was ordered to be transferred to Yichang to join the Wang Jinshan Department of the Hubei 3rd Mixed Brigade and the Zhao Ronghua Department of the 18th Mixed Brigade. Together with the Sichuan Army.
After Wang Zhanyuan stepped down, Zhao Hengti had no excuse to invade. Zhang Hanqing, the patrol envoy of Shaanxi, Gansu and Hubei, and Xia Shoukang, the governor, ordered the Sun Chuanfang Department of the 18th Hubei Division and the Wang Ruqin Department of the 8th Division to defend Puqi, and sent representatives to negotiate for peace with Hunan. He personally led a brigade of the cavalry division from Han River to supervise the battle. Han Linchun was stationed in the provincial capital to reorganize the Hubei 2nd Division and arrange defense matters.
When Zhang Hanqing arrived in Yichang, the Hubei army was almost completely defeated.
Originally, the reinforcements from Wang Jinshan and Zhao Ronghua should have had a numerical advantage, but they were defeated by the Sichuan army. However, when Zhang Hanqing came to Yichang to inspect the front line, the battlefield was still going on. A team of hundreds of people, regardless of the fleeing friendly forces around them or the pressing Sichuan army, resolutely stood firm on the front line. Just when the Sichuan army was trying to get some momentum, a beautiful counterattack suddenly came out, and they suddenly saw victory in sight. The Sichuan army was stunned.
Because there were few people, this unit was unwilling to fight and quickly retreated to its position to stabilize its formation. Then they used the discarded machine gun groups on the front line to form a fire net and beat back the second wave of attacks by the Sichuan army.
These two confrontations bought time for Zhang Hanqing's reinforcements. ?When Ronghua heard that Zhang Hanqing had arrived at the front line, he hurriedly packed up his defeated troops and returned to the front line, finally turning the situation around.
For the tiger generals on the battlefield, Zhang Hanqing never hesitated to praise him. This force of almost only one battalion was able to block the charge of no less than 2,000 Sichuan troops. The officer's courage and ability are worthy of admiration. Zhang Hanqing asked Zhao Ronghua: "Who is the officer in charge of the army that blocked the Sichuan army?"
Zhao Ronghua said without hesitation: "Yu Xuezhong." He could call out the name because he was his relative better than his brother.
? 18 Zhao Ronghua, the commander of the Huncheng Brigade, lost his father when he was young, and was raised by Yu Xuezhong's parents. After Zhao Ronghua was promoted to brigade commander, he invited Yu Xuezhong to serve as the artillery battalion commander of the brigade. It was originally just an idea of ??repaying a favor, but I didn't expect that I got his desperate help in this situation.
What Zhang Hanqing was happy about was not winning the battle, but finding Yu Xuezhong, an outstanding general who was favored by Wu Peifu, Zhang Xueliang, Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Zedong and others.
Originally, it was Wu Peifu who took a fancy to Yu Xuezhong this time in official history, but in the end Yu Xuezhong defected to the Feng clique. Historically, Zhang Zuolin and his son also had great trust in Xuezhong. After the "9-18" incident, Zhang Xueliang was charged with "non-resistance" and resigned. Before going to Europe and the United States for inspection, Zhang Xueliang handed over the entire Northeast Army to the command of Yu Xuezhong.
When Zhang Xueliang was preparing to launch the "Xi'an Incident", Yu Xuezhong once asked Zhang Xueliang: "If you do this, how can you do it well?" Zhang replied: "Just do it, why worry so much?" Yu said: "Just do it. You must work hard to the end and never give up halfway." Later, Zhang Xueliang, who "gived up halfway", was placed under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek. Before accompanying Jiang on the plane, Zhang Xueliang once again handed over most of the Northeast Army and his own property to Yu Xuezhong.
From then on, Yu Xuezhong put the kindness of knowing and meeting him first, and always used Zhang Xueliang's interests as his criterion for making decisions. He even went against the trend for this reason: He once risked "offending Long Yan" and went to Nanjing four times. He met with Chiang Kai-shek and asked for the release of Zhang Xueliang, but was never successful; after the end of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Mao Zedong personally named him to be the leader of the condolences delegation to Korea, but he refused this great honor because he felt that he was "low-key in everything. Zhang Xueliang's life will be easier." He once said to his subordinates: "Deputy Commander Zhang asked me to take care of the Northeast refugees, defend North China, and resolutely withstand the Japanese attack. Return the military to him." On Zhang Xueliang's 90th birthday, he was filled with emotion after hearing these words over and over again, and said: "I will never forget Yu Xuezhong, he is my right-hand man."
Chiang Kai-shek also admired Xuezhong quite a lot. Chiang had a habit of writing comments about his generals in a small notebook he carried with him. He admired Xuezhong quite a lot and said that he had "bright eyes, loyalty to people, and was a talented general." This is why Chiang Kai-shek "annihilated" Yang Chenghu and put Zhang Xueliang under house arrest, but spared Xuezhong and allowed him to "take advantage of his crime and make meritorious service." one of the reasons.
After liberation, Yu Xuezhong asked Zhou Enlai for instructions on how to deal with the property left by Zhang Xueliang. Zhou Enlai, it’s up to you to decide. Yu Xuezhong then used the court to properly distribute the property to Zhang Xueliang's relatives in mainland China, without taking any money from him.
In official history, it will be 5 years before Yu Xuezhong follows Zhang Hanqing. Since Wu Peifu "gave up" this opportunity, of course he will "grab the beauty." As the patrol envoy of Shaanxi, Gansu and Hubei, he greatly praised Yu Xuezhong and said: "Let Battalion Commander Yu follow me as the regimental leader." In order to express his goodwill towards him, he also reused Zhao Ronghua and turned a deaf ear to his defeat. Instead, he said that he would petition the central government to promote him to division commander.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????… In order to gain Yu Xuezhong's loyalty, no matter how mediocre Zhao Ronghua is, Zhang Hanqing will let him fly into the sky in the wind.
In order to resolve the dispute in western Hubei as soon as possible, Zhang Hanqing planned to stabilize Liu Xiang first, and then return to clean up the Hubei situation. So Liu Xiang called Liu Xiang and said: "Commander Liu is the military envoy of Chongqing and has a busy job. Since Wang Zhanyuan has been expelled, the people of Hubei Province should complete the autonomy matters. The Sichuan army's entry into Hubei is unreasonable. Xueliang called on the 30th to express his will. Protect the autonomy of Hubei Province from interference. If the Sichuan army is determined to fight again, it should call the central government and give an explicit order to attack it." Privately, a representative was sent to contact Liu Xiang: "The autonomy of Hubei Province is a foregone conclusion. If Liu Buyi We have agreed to withdraw from Hubei and call the Beijing government to ask Brother Yu to assume the position of military governor of Sichuan."
Liu Xiang originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to expand his territory when the Hunan-Hubei War broke out. At this time, Zhao Hengti of Hunan Province stopped his troops, and the political situation in Hubei Province was decided. He would not be able to attack Yichang for a long time. Marshal Feng Jun personally commanded the troops for a long time to win, and reinforcements had arrived. It was difficult to predict further progress. Moreover, the Feng faction has controlled the Central Committee and has strong strength. Since it is located in Dongchuan, it must not have the strength to resist, and its reputation is not justified. It's better to stop the army here, which will not only betray the young commander's face, but also have the dignity to withdraw from the remote and useless place in western Hubei. Therefore, on the grounds that "since Hubei Province is safe, we should withdraw our troops as agreed, in order to live up to our original intention of aiding Hubei", we led our troops to withdraw from Zigui and returned to Badong one after another.
With the Third Route Army retreating one route, it will be much easier to deal with the other two routes. Zhang Hanqing divided the People's Army into southern and northern groups, which were in confrontation with the Zhili Army and the Hunan Army. It is not easy to take the first shot against the Zhili Army, but there is no such scruple in attacking Zhao Hengti. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The two routes in the north and south are in confrontation with the Zhijun Army and the Hunan Army. It is not easy to take the first shot against the Zhili Army, but there is no such scruple in attacking Zhao Hengti. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

At this time, Xiao Yao's 25th Division in the south was stationed in Yunmeng, Anlu, Xiaochang and other places. Feng Yuxiang's 11th Division took Suizhou, Guangshui, Dawu, Hong'an, Macheng and other places in northern Hubei to confront the 5th Division in Xiaogan. , Huangpi area. The Northwest People's Army is backed by the Han River, with Zhongxiang in the west, along Jingshan - Yingcheng - Xiaogan - Huangpi and Hexi, and in the east by Huanggang, an important town in the north of the Yangtze River.
On the southern front, the main force of the 4th Division of the People's Army joined forces with the 1st Division, 8th Division, and 18th Division of the Hubei Army on the front line. Led by Han Linchun, they deployed defenses along the south of the Yangtze River and defended heavily at Puqi. The Hunan army formed a stalemate. A mixed brigade directly related to Jin Yunyu left the battlefield and stationed troops in Jiangxia.
The situation is not favorable to the People's Army, at least the People's Army does not have enough soldiers to suppress the opponent.
In the early Republic of China, a division consisted of 2 brigades and 4 regiments. The division also had 1 cavalry regiment and 1 artillery regiment, with about 11,000 to 14,000 people. Due to lack of equipment, many artillery regiments were left without artillery and cavalry regiments without horses, especially local troops. Due to limited financial resources, some troops are not full of personnel. The People's Army inherited the organization of the Feng Army adapted from Zhang Hanqing. Except for some newly formed divisions that were only equipped to artillery battalions, the artillery regiments and cavalry regiments of the Feng Army were genuine. For example, the artillery unit of the 1st Division of the Northwest People's Army, which inherited the old 1st Division, was full of regiments at first, and then merged two independent artillery battalions, plus hundreds of newly manufactured mountain guns from the Shenyang Arsenal to enrich each division. Except for the cavalry division, most of them The structure of the divisional artillery regiment was realized.
Before entering Hubei, the People’s Army used Lanzhou and Xi’an as its base camps. Now, Wuhan has become the new political and military center of the People’s Army due to its superior geographical location. Since Wu Peifu did not even use troops for such a major event as the attack on Wang Zhanyuan, he would not intervene in Shaanxi and Gansu unless the Zhifeng War broke out. In this way, it becomes possible to mobilize troops from the northwest into Hubei to relieve the shortage of the People's Army. Under this consideration, the main force of the 1st Division of the People's Army was ordered to go south and join the military confrontation.
Soon after, a brigade of the 1st Division joined forces with the 4th Division, forming a military group of more than 20,000 people north of the Yangtze River (a cavalry division has only 8,000 people according to its establishment).
These troops control 3 divisions, 3 mixed brigades of the Hubei Army, as well as 2 divisions of the direct army (Xiao Yaonan 25th Division, Feng Yuxiang 11th Division), and 1 mixed brigade (Jin Yun'e), a total of more than 30,000 people. Downwind. Because the Hubei Army's biggest enemy is currently the Hunan Army, and the People's Army has the superior firepower of two artillery regiments, so on the surface the People's Army is small in number, but considering the fierce firepower, the advantage of the enemy's large number of people is roughly offset.
Zhang Hanqing solved Liu Xiang of Sichuan, and then dealt with Zhao Hengti of Hunan as a priority. Taking advantage of the stalemate between the North Route Army, the 1st and 4th elite People's Army Divisions and the 2nd, 8th and 18th Hubei Divisions simultaneously launched an offensive against the Hunan Army. Under the siege of five armies, the Hunan Army was defeated. Zhao Hengti knew that nothing could be done and repeatedly begged for mercy. The last benefit was not obtained from Hubei. Instead, the People's Army and the Hubei Army were stationed in Yueyang and occupied Peking University in Hunan. Door.
With the foreign aggression removed, Hubei Province’s autonomy agenda is also on the table. Zhang Hanqing only left the 1st Division stationed in key places such as Hankou, Wuchang, and Xiangfan, and stationed the 4th Cavalry Division in Yueyang, Hunan Province. This was regarded as fulfilling the previously electrified People's Army's vow to leave a division in Hubei.
"But Zhang Hanqing will not make wedding clothes for others in vain. He called the central government to "please" organize Wang Jinshan's 3rd Mixed Brigade and Zhao Ronghua's 18th Mixed Brigade into the Hubei First Division, with Zhao Ronghua as the division commander, stationed in Yichang, and take over Jingzhou, which is regarded as a part of the People's Army. A side branch. The remaining troops were reorganized into the Hubei Armed Police Corps, and of course they were all reorganized by personnel sent by the People's Army. Except for the 1st Division, Hubei will no longer maintain troops in order to realize the declaration of autonomy for the Hubei people.
Later, Wang Ruqin of the 8th Division stationed in Sha City was dismissed from his post as commander of the 8th Division and was transferred to the nominal Yangtze River Patrol Envoy on the grounds that he committed robberies and failed to discipline him. The remaining commander of the 8th Division was replaced by Sun Chuanfang, the former commander of the 18th Division. , and appointed Sun Chuanfang to concurrently serve as the commander-in-chief of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
Sun Chuanfang is also a great hero in the future in official history. Although he is unwilling to stay under others for a long time, he is also a person who adapts to the wind and is good at observing the situation. Seeing that the power of the Feng clique has reached half of the country and has the power of the central government, which is difficult for all parties to match, he tried his best to claim credit for Zhang Hanqing and worked very hard in dealing with Wang Ruqin. Wang Ruqin had few troops. Under the coercion of Zhao, Wu and the superior troops of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the People's Army, he had no choice but to give up his command.
Zhang Hanqing was very familiar with Sun Chuanfang's name. By transferring him from the 18th Division to the 8th Division, and placing the headquarters of the Upper Yangtze River Headquarters in Jiujiang in the form of a central telegraph order, Sun Chuanfang's traditional power was weakened. Put an end to its influence in Hubei. On the other hand, it also suppressed the possible support of the Jiangxi Chen Tiaoyuan Department for the Zhili Clique, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The 2nd Division under Wang Zhanyuan was revoked and merged with the original part of the 18th Hubei Division to form the 7th Division of the People's Army, with Ji Yiqiao concurrently serving as the division commander. The remaining part of the 18th Division was integrated into the 4th Cavalry Division of the People's Army——As the vehicles were gradually equipped with the Fengjun??Zhang Hanqing had already planned to gradually reduce the proportion of cavalry in the army. Although these cavalry made great contributions to the People's Army's assault, the long-distance raids in the past few days still exposed a major problem: in terms of long-term long-distance combat, horses are still not as durable as humans. If conditions permit, it is better to implement mechanization.
The 4th Cavalry Division equipped part of the cavalry regiments to the Shaanxi 5th and 6th Divisions and the Hubei 1st Division. These veterans of the People's Army who had fought with Zhang Hanqing for a long time were both constraints and direct constraints for the newly formed Shaanxi and Hubei garrisons. Influence.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing controlled several provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu and Hubei. He had 8 divisions of the People's Army with more than 100,000 troops. He also directly controlled 2 divisions in Hubei and 2 brigades of the Zhili Army. His total strength was no less than that of the Zhili Clique, slightly less than Fengxue. In this way, "Northern Feng" and "Southern Feng" (People's Army) together accounted for nearly half of China's army at that time.
At this time, the Northeastern Fengjun Army had completed the establishment of 9 division-affiliated artillery regiments, and formed another 3 independent artillery regiments. The Fengjun Army divisions became the only effective forces among all forces in the Republic of China that were not inferior to the Japanese regular divisions in terms of division-level firepower configuration. . By the end of 1921, Fengjun had formed 2 seaplane squadrons (12 aircraft each), 1 land aircraft squadron, and 1 reconnaissance aircraft squadron (4 aircraft). The booming air power was daunting to all parties.
As a gradually growing military strategist, Zhang Hanqing spent so much energy to win Hubei not only to make it "autonomous", but to obtain political, economic and even strategic benefits is the first element. It's not that Zhang Hanqing doesn't care about people's livelihood, but that the task of unifying China is completed faster now, so that China's culture and people's livelihood are qualified for development.
For the military, Wuhan has the famous Hanyang Arsenal in China, ranking only below the Shenyang Arsenal. The "Made in Hanyang" rifle during the Sino-foreign Anti-Japanese War was the best standard weapon that the Chinese anti-Japanese military and civilians could not find. Although it may not be very good in itself, it must be considered that it is in China.
After settling the situation, Zhang Hanqing took the time to take a look at the Hanyang Arsenal, which he wanted to rely on as the capital of the "revolution". However, he was disappointed at first glance.
Relying on the benefits of the Han River, the Hanyang Arsenal was able to manufacture rifles, machine guns, mortars and various types of shells and bullets. Among the three major arsenals in old China, their important position was still above the Taiyuan Arsenal. However, due to financial problems at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Hanyang Arsenal ceased operations of the gun mount, gun factory, shells, cast bullets, and copper shell factories. In fact, the manufacturing of mountain guns had stopped.
It was destroyed again during the Revolution of 1911. In 1915, Yuan Shikai was afraid that the power of gun and ammunition production would fall into the hands of the southern revolutionaries, so he transferred the gun-making machinery and technical backbone to the Gongxian Arsenal in Henan, causing the current Hanyang Arsenal to decline day by day.
"But Zhang Hanqing still wants to take a look. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse? Maybe there will be something available. However, after going there in person, the young marshal was inevitably disgusted: the equipment was simple and the workmanship was rough. It was impossible to believe that this was the famous Hanyang Arsenal in history? No wonder "Made in Hanyang" was used to explain the poor equipment of the Chinese army during the Anti-Japanese War. It really lived up to its reputation!
The Shenyang Arsenal has now achieved a monthly production capacity of 15 cannons, 30 mortars, 36 machine guns, 1,000 rifles, 10,000 artillery shells, and 100,000 rounds of bullets. It was the largest in China at the time and one of the best in Asia. ordnance factory. Of course, the main force now is to build artillery - for Zhang Hanqing's military reform, artillery is currently the most important.
?Compared with the Shenyang Arsenal, this place can be regarded as a step back from modernization to primitive society.
Such an arsenal cannot meet the combat mission of the People's Army under any circumstances. He was depressed when he thought that the equipment replenishment for his eight divisions had to be transported thousands of miles from the Northeast to Yinchuan, Lanzhou, Xi'an and then to Wuhan via the Guisui people. Since the Wuhan Arsenal has been acquired by yourself, let's regenerate it from scratch.
Wuhan is a gathering place for all parties and is rich in materials. In addition, Zhang Hanqing has financial support and the Shenyang Arsenal’s selfless assistance. Building China’s first-class arsenal is not a problem. But another problem arises: some machines are huge and bloated, how to transport them? The important communication lines with the north, Jinghan and Jinpu, all pass through the Zhili territory. When these important strategic materials catch their eyes, are they just trying to beat a dog with a meat bun?
There is a way to solve the People's Army's problems, and that is to use the convenience of Yangtze River shipping to transport equipment from the Shenyang Arsenal to the Hanyang Arsenal, so that it can regain the ability to independently produce guns and ammunition. This can solve the problem of the People's Army's self-sufficiency in equipment, and can put the direct line beyond its reach. The cost of shipping is much less than that of railways and highways. Otherwise, it would be such a long journey from the northeast to Chahar, Suiyuan, Shaanxi, and Hubei. The journey and the many harsh terrains in between damaged the good machine.
Of course, in addition to investing heavily in rebuilding the arsenal, Zhang Hanqing is also focused on the trend after Hubei's autonomy. According to the agreement, Zhang Hanqing's People's Army could only station one division in Hubei. Wu Peifu also used this as an excuse to keep the direct troops in Hubei. If this situation is not broken, the People's Army will be extremely passive. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The direct troops will stay in Hubei and will not leave.

At this time, the financial crisis of the Beijing government is getting more and more serious. The Beijing government finally resisted the pressure and pinned its hopes on borrowing from foreign banks. However, because Britain and the United States wanted to replace Jin's cabinet, which was not conducive to the Zhili clique, they resolutely disagreed with the loan. The Feng clique, as Jin Yunpeng's backer, would never give in to the other side, so the loan from the four-nation banking group was in vain, and the Beijing government |The government's hopes were dashed.
Jin’s cabinet encountered such a serious financial crisis, but the domestic banking group not only sat back and did nothing to help, but also added insult to injury. Because the domestic banking group is in the hands of the old transportation department, they are eager for the collapse of Jin's cabinet, which will provide them with a rare opportunity to come to power. The leader here is Ye Gongchuo.
Because of the incident between his nephew Charlie Ye and Miss Liang Jiu, Zhang Hanqing removed his position as Chief of Communications and almost hid in the political arena for several years. After the Liang family publicized it, everyone knew about it. After this turmoil, he knew that the power of the Zhang family and his son was immense. The reason why Jin Yunpeng became prime minister was almost a matter of one sentence from the Zhang family.
Seeing that Jin Yunpeng is about to fall, I don’t think the Fengtian faction will spend any money to protect this peripheral personnel. If there is a good idea that Zhang Zuolin appreciates, it is not impossible to replace him. Therefore, he secretly sneaked into Shenyang and offered advice to Zhang Zuolin: "If you want to control the Beijing government, you must first control the central finance, and the first step is to buy the shares of Bank of Communications."
As the backbone of the transportation department, his vision is not without poison. Currently, Bank of Communications is insolvent and is actually on the verge of collapse. He knows this inside story. Zhang Zuolin only needs a very small capital investment to save him from collapse and obtain extremely high profits. Experts in the Northeast economic circle will not disagree.
Sure enough, both Wang Yongjiang and Liu Shangqing thought this plan was brilliant. So Zhang Zuolin and Ye Gongchuo agreed privately that Feng Xi would control the Bank of Communications through investment. Zhang Zuolin was extremely wealthy and borrowed 40 million from the public funds of the three northeastern provinces and lent it to the Bank of Communications at a monthly interest rate of one and two cents, which would be recovered every six months, thereby controlling the Bank of Communications, which assumed the functions of the central bank.
On August 12, Zhang Hanqing sent a secret message to Zhang Zuolin in Wuchang: "Using the suspension of pay as a threat, he demanded that the Beijing government order Xiao Yaonan's troops stationed in Hubei to withdraw northward. He also threatened Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng with overthrow of the cabinet and forced Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng to send his brother Jin Yun'e's troops to the north. He was transferred into the battle to drive out Hunan, and in one fell swoop he was able to relieve the Jin troops from being trapped between the provincial capital and the front line." In order to separate the direct line, Feng Yuxiang was telegraphed as the garrison envoy of Hubei, Henan and Anhui.
The Zhili clique finally failed to form the same strength as the official history, and its lack of influence on important financial rights was an important reason for Wu Peifu's final softening. Although Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, both directly affiliated with him, were initially dissatisfied with Jin Yunpeng's cabinet, as time passed, they became unwilling to let Jin step down. Because a turbulent government is even more unfavorable to them: they have to raise their own military salaries, and more importantly, who should be replaced as prime minister?
There are only a handful of people who are both important and capable. Currently, all kinds of Republican residents in Beijing and Tianjin are related to the Feng Clan. For example, the most powerful old communications department headed by Liang Shiyi is also in cahoots with Zhang Zuolin. If they If they are mixed together, they will pose a greater threat to the direct line. On the contrary, Jin Yunpeng will be "innocent" and easily controlled.
After a lot of bickering, Cao Wu and other direct bosses finally reluctantly reached an agreement with the British and American bosses to allow Jin Yunpeng to stay in office. But this was also the beginning of their rift, because they found that Zhili's agent was completely unable to take on the important role.
It was Zhang Hanqing who extended an olive branch at the right time. As the patrol envoy of Shaanxi, Gansu and Hubei, he issued several decrees one after another, which quickly improved the situation in Hubei.
One is the "Yangtze River Transportation Safety Charter", which calls on all provinces along the river to ensure the safety and freedom of the Yangtze River waters, and all checkpoints along the river waterways need to be abolished.
One is the "Hubei Autonomy Charter", which aims to decentralize politics, reduce people's taxes, encourage the development of industry and economy, and prohibit all parties from intervening militarily in disputes in the province;
One is the Hubei Charter on Freedom of Commerce and Concession Security, which declares to protect the safety of all British and American personnel and their property in China. The local Chinese government will give appropriate care to foreign investors. At the same time, the Chinese government encourages exchanges with British and American countries. No, establish stable trade cooperation relations.
These practices allowed people from the British and American countries who were concerned about the situation in Hubei to gradually let go of their suspicions. The people's military and government continued to protect their interests in China. Some of the economic proposals went a step further than the direct line, and some were just "open doors." The essence of the policy cannot help but make people doubt the transformation of this young Chinese commander.
In fact, it is not surprising to say that the "open door" is not much more surprising than the "reform and opening up" of later generations. The only difference is that the Chinese government also has sovereignty. At this time, whether China agrees or not, "open door" has taken root in China for decades.
?The Fengxian achieved an epoch-making exchange, and it was even possible to replace it with the Zhixian. Therefore, after he optimistically expressed his admiration for Zhang Hanqing, he tactfully stated that he would advise senior officials in Washington to make the relationship between the United States and the Fengtian faction closer.
“He said so, and he actually did it. With the joint efforts of both parties, the relationship between the United States and Britain has made a significant breakthrough. At least the Zhili system has gradually ceased to be the sole agent of Britain and the United States in China. In this way, the Feng Clan has removed the biggest possible obstacle to the unification of China by force, and the situation at home and abroad is favorable to the Feng Clan.

Chapter 532 Rich and Rich
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
As a gesture of friendship, under Joseph's care, the People's Army purchased two small warships "Villalobos" and "Elcano" belonging to the U.S. Yangtze River Patrol, named "Jiangning" and "Jiangning" respectively. The name "Jiang Jing" means the "tranquility" of the river. If the People's Army wants to control the Yangtze River, the army alone cannot complete the task of protecting such a vast river basin.
The Yangtze River Patrol is composed of six ships that are older and more bizarre than the "Isabel". The strangest among them are the two warships "Elcano" and "Vilalobos". These two warships were captured from the Spanish after Dewey's victory in Manila Bay. The "Elcano" has a displacement of 600 tons and the "Villalobos" has a displacement of 200 tons. They were built in 1885. and 1886, both built using the cast iron method.
The "Elcano" has a draft of ten feet and can only reach a speed of eleven knots. The weapons equipped on the ship are very powerful. The main weapons are four four-inch cannons and four cannons that can fire six-pound shells. There are one hundred and three crew members, and they can only live in primitive living conditions. The ship was powered by two coal-fired Scottish boilers, which could also be fired by wood in an emergency. There is little electricity on board, and lighting is usually provided by candles.
The Villalobos is slightly smaller than the Elcano, but slightly more comfortable. The ship still retains the iron hull of the past, but the superstructure of the ship has been replaced by a wooden box-like structure, which makes the crew's living quarters wider and better ventilated. It had a draft of nine feet and was equipped with two guns that could fire six-pound shells and two guns that could fire one-pound shells. It also had a speed of only eleven knots. Like the Elcano, it had Too slow to move upstream (referring to the part of the Yangtze River above Yichang City, 950 miles away from the sea, where the wave speed is often as high as 14 nautical miles).
The U.S. Navy recognized that this force was insufficient to conduct effective patrols in the Yangtze River. As early as 1920, the Navy's appropriation request requested funds to build new gunboats for the Yangtze River Patrol and the South China Patrol. Throughout the twenties, the Asiatic Fleet and the General Council of the Navy discussed in numerous correspondence the need to design and build new gunboats.
For example, the captain of the gunboat Pampaenga stated on June 7, 1920 that his ship was "simply unfit for the patrol duties for which it was assigned." Following this, the General Council recommended in August 1920 that Villalobos and Elcano should be declared "unfit for continued use and should be made obsolete andsold". At that time, the Villalobos was valued at $47,000 and the Elcano at $60,000.
It’s not that the People’s Army has no ideas about purchasing two such “broken” warships (if defined in this way). At least Han Linchun thinks it’s not cost-effective: “Young Marshal, this is equipment that has been eliminated by the United States. We can build some New, now we are not incapable.”
Indeed, after the efforts of the Northeast River Defense Fleet over the past year, not only has the training of its personnel reached a high level, but it has also made new breakthroughs in the construction of gunboats. Just a few months ago, the 20th 50-ton frigate was completed, and the first shallow-water gunboat imitating the 170-ton "Lijie" also held a launching ceremony. As the commander of the navy, Zhang Hanqing did not have time to attend, but he also sent a telegram of congratulations to Chen Shiying, Shen Honglie and others.
Although the tonnage is not worth mentioning, it is, after all, the first true warship independently built by the Fengtian system and the Navy of the Republic of China. It has a significant role in improving the progress of the shipbuilding industry and training military talents. Its importance cannot be said. Not an exaggeration.
But Zhang Hanqing had deeper thoughts. He calculated an account for Han Linchun: "The warship is old, and the guns on it are reusable. On the edge of the Yangtze River, our army's mobility is greatly reduced, and we have no experience in water warfare." . With these two ships, at least sailors can be trained in advance - the People's Army will not be a landlubber forever.
The other 600-ton gunboat is also the largest warship in our navy, 50 tons more than the "Jiang Heng". Such warships are still very powerful on the Yangtze River and have positive significance for improving the overall image of the People's Army. Their existence allows us to take greater steps, so our army in Yueyang has no worries, and the threat to Zhao Hengti has also become greater.
There is another most important factor: the use of these two ships fully demonstrates to the outside world that the United States’ support for the Zhili clique is weakening. It is a silent warning to some losers and makes our foundation in Hubei stronger. In addition, through this kind of uninterrupted communication, we can establish a direct relationship with the United States, weaken its support for the Zhili clique, and avoid being attacked on all sides in possible future frictions with the Zhili clique.
Last but not least, we don’t??Money, haha. "Zhang Hanqing smiled like this.
Basically, the relationship between Zhang Hanqing and his family and the Japanese was broken. Fortunately, Zhang Zuolin was there to support it. Zhang Hanqing is not so arrogant as to give advice to other heroes. If he insists on choosing Japan or the United States as an ally based on the current situation, he will definitely decide that the nature of the United States - the aggressor is the same, but at least they will not rob them. Territory!
Don’t ask me which is more important, sovereignty or territory? If you have a territory, you can still gain sovereignty through struggle. If you don't have territorial sovereignty, it's called a government-in-exile.
It should be said that these two warships were urgently needed by the People's Army and played an important role in the subsequent battles on the Yangtze River. In order to show its friendship with Zhang Hanqing, the United States sold the ship's weapons together with the ship's weapons at this price. It has a stronger symbolic meaning: the United States has decided to find a new agent in China, and Zhang Hanqing is the undoubtedly first choice.
To be used as a gunman, your gun must be able to catch people's eyes, and to be a puppet, you must also have the consciousness to be a puppet. The entry of the People's Army into Hubei does not mean that the entire province of Hubei has been included. Although Zhang Hanqing has the post of inspection envoy, he can legitimately intervene in Hubei's military and political affairs, but if he cannot achieve a political performance that is significantly different from that of Wang Zhanyuan and others, the people will still speak with their feet.
Wuhan plays an important role in the history of the founding of the Republic of China. Its important geographical location, convenient transportation conditions, industrial strength and economic development potential far exceed that of any city in the northwest. The three towns of Wuhan, consisting of Hanyang, Wuchang and Hankou, are located above Jiujiang and downstream of Chongqing, about 600 miles from Shanghai. This port city is the most important industrial center along the Yangtze River and is also the dividing line between the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The British, Japanese and French all had concessions here, and there were numerous Western commercial and ecclesiastical institutions in the city.
If the Fengtian Clan shone in China in the early Republic of China with its industrial strength, and Shanghai promoted trade prosperity with its "Concession of All Nations" and its innate port advantages, Wuhan, with its nine-province thoroughfare, is the heartland of the Beijing-Hankow Railway, the Guangdong-Hankow Railway and the Yangtze River's golden waterway. The transportation advantages are outstanding. This made Zhang Hanqing decide to run it well.
He is right to think so, but there are still people who want to make him unhappy.
Zhang Hanqing approached the Americans. Officials at the Japanese Consulate in Wuhan and the concession would not fail to notice such a big movement. The Fengtian clique has already made it impossible to invade the Northeast, and now it has made such a big splash in Central China. Calculating the strength is already terrifying. If it is matched with the Americans again, what will happen to mainland China and Japan?
Therefore, whether it is suppressing the development of the Fengcian faction or dispelling its closeness with the Americans, Japan must make some noise. Didn't Zhang Hanqing want to turn Wuhan into a base for the People's Army? Then I will let Wuhan become chaotic first! Taking advantage of the money shortage in the Republic of China from the central to local governments, a financial crisis began targeting the three towns of Wuhan.
Since October, there have been rumors in the market that because of the central government ministries’ salary disputes, the Beijing government has used all the cash that can be withdrawn from local banks to “relief”. Because Beijing's money shortage was already a real existence in the minds of major capitalists, the rumor quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Wuhan.
It is not easy for ordinary citizens to make some money. In this chaotic situation, it is better to take it out and keep it at home for insurance. Smart businessmen have already caught wind of this and fished out their capital without interest. This has made those loan investors and industrialists suffer. , being forced to hang himself by various banks’ demands for payment and loan. There is nothing the bank can do. With this run, it is hard to say whether they can save their lives. Those who are involved in finance are afraid of credit bankruptcy.
After Hubei Province gained autonomy, the new provincial government officials in Hubei, headed by Xia Shoukang, wanted to make a difference, calm down the troops, nourish the people, and gradually restore the province's economy. However, a run on the Central Bank of Hankou and the Bank of Communications disrupted this plan. Hubei is originally an important province in central China. Once it becomes unstable, the hinterland of the Central Plains will be restless. As one of the functions of the government, it is now necessary to stop this run on the economy. Therefore, Xia Shoukang refuted the rumors and made continuous statements in newspapers asking citizens to stop selling to maintain market stability. But rumors only stop at the wise. For many ordinary people who are illiterate and do not know the benefits, who would take risks because they have such a high level of awareness?
Zhang Hanqing already knows the general reason for this turmoil. The tight financial situation of the central government is an internal factor, but there are also people from the outside who are fanning the flames. Although there is no conclusive evidence that the Japanese consortium in Wuhan has done anything untoward privately, several consecutive large cash withdrawals from the central bank branch in Hankou Let them reveal some clues - the parties involved in these withdrawals all have more or less business dealings with the Japanese consortium.
With money in hand and no panic in mind, Zhang Hanqing, who has experienced the Fengtian bank run crisis, already has deep experience in handling such problems. Not only that, Zhang Hanqing also wanted to thank this financial trend for giving the 200 tons of gold he reserved in the northwest a chance to play a role. Didn’t the great man say that fighting with heaven will bring endless joy; fighting with earth will bring endless joy; fighting with humans will bring endless joy. It can defeat powerful people from all walks of life militarily. If it can also defeat these evil-minded people financially, then it will truly reflect the power of the People's Party government.

Gold was originally used to stabilize the financial market. He had a large amount of wealth, but he did not dare to put it into use in the northwest. According to economic theory, when the output value of a place is less than the currency put into circulation, currency devaluation usually occurs, even gold.
The northwest would not be able to accommodate this money for a while, so he used this huge sum of money as reserve funds to establish China Construction Bank, the largest bank in the northwest and probably China. After removing the Lanzhou Arsenal, he planned to connect Lanzhou to Xinjiang and Yinchuan. , Baotou, Suiyuan and other places' railways, the western section of the Longhai Line connecting Lanzhou to Xi'an, and the most important and urgent talent training project in the northwest - Xi'an Jiaotong University, there is still a lot of gold left. On hand.
Doesn’t a run mean that you cannot withdraw cash within a unit of time? For the wealthy Zhang Hanqing, this is not a problem. He sent people to issue suggestions to major banks in Wuhan, using the name of the newly established Wuhan branch of China Construction Bank to acquire the maturing deposits of each bank. The condition is that each bank must pay deposit reserves to China Construction Bank afterwards. In essence, this is Recognize China Construction Bank’s central bank status.
Another option is to exchange the deposits received by China Construction Bank for equity in a certain proportion of the bank. Now is a good time to acquire the financial system.
“Anyway, it is beneficial to Zhang Hanqing’s financial institution.
The person who came up with this idea was Zhang Zhijiang, Liu Shangqing’s old subordinate in Shenyang. He was connected to several figures in the financial world. Zhang Hanqing asked him to come over and serve as the president of the Wuhan Branch of China Construction Bank.
How can people not bow their heads when they are under the eaves? The financiers who were in the center of the storm almost jumped off the building and jumped into the river. When they suddenly heard the good news from the patrol envoy, they were like a drowning man grabbing a thick and buoyant stake. Special hug principle? Although he lost his former power and influence, it was a blessing to be able to hug the young marshal's thick legs after experiencing the financial turmoil.
Because the young marshal’s strength really cannot be underestimated.
The first business of China Construction Bank Wuhan Branch was to take over all the savings absorbed by Hankou Industrial Bank. It is said that on the day of the acceptance, two large ships of several hundred tons sailed from the Han River, filled with loud silver coins. It took fifty people and twenty carriages to transport them to the business center in the city center. Faced with countless bankers with various intentions, banker Xu Yimeng, who was originally like an ant on the hot pot, announced loudly and calmly: "The Wuhan Branch of China Construction Bank under the signature of the patrol envoy will accept all the bank's promissory notes, and all new banknotes will be accepted." All old depositors can accept an unlimited amount of expired or unexpired promissory notes!”
Sure enough, when the panicked crowds pressed for cash, the bank did not refuse and cashed the money to anyone who came without any hesitation. However, in order to avoid injuries caused by crowding, the sales staff still showed great enthusiasm: "Don't crowd, take your time, the promissory notes issued by our bank will be cashed - the due principal and interest will be paid, and the undue interest will be paid in full." You have to consider whether you want a big discount on the interest rate."
The footnote to their words is a wooden box that has only been opened, with 500 yuan in each box, placed under the soles of each salesperson. Unopened wooden boxes are piled like a hill behind the counter, and it is said that the warehouse is even full of them.
Not only that, there are also piles of gold bars stacked in various business halls in the corner of the hall. Antiques from prosperous times, gold from troubled times, with this thing, people will be so confident, right?
A promise as golden as gold!
The Marshal's government is very close to the people. In order to take care of the interests of the vast majority of small depositors, officials sent by the provincial government to maintain order told the outside world: "All large promissory notes go directly to the transactions specially opened by the provincial government. It is carried out during the period, and all business offices in the city only serve small depositors to facilitate the general public."
A total of 300,000 yuan was cashed out at each business location in one morning. There could have been more, but most of the people queuing up were small depositors, and although the number of people was large, the amount was small. And as we got further back, the wait-and-see atmosphere became thicker. By noon, the crowd of people who had excluded us gradually dissipated, especially when there was new news that two more large ships had arrived from the Northeast.
"Brother Zhang Wu, haven't you redeemed your money yet?"
"Hey, no, I'll take another look. The main reason is that it hasn't expired yet, so it's a bit of a loss to cash it out now. Besides, the bank has a lot of cash in hand, and I'm not in a hurry to use the money, so why cash it in?"
?According to the agreed interest rate, the interest rate for undue interest will be discounted according to the rules. It is the same for banks in the past life and this life.
"Yes, I also heard that the bank was out of money and that's why I became so anxious. If I had known that the Young Marshal had released so much money, I wouldn't have come."
"Brother Zhang Wu, do you think this ocean is real or fake? Where did the young commander come from so many oceans?"
"Haha, brother Wang, so many people have cashed in before, how can it be fake? The father of the young marshal is Marshal Zhang from the Northeast."As a guarantee for the promissory note, Zhang Hanqing used less than 1 million yuan and piles of gold bars for exhibitions to control almost all Chinese-funded banks in the three towns of Wuhan, and enabled China Construction Bank as the parent bank to realize its influence on the economy here. Control, and gold is successfully laundered here too.
After this battle, the People's Army had strong economic strength to ensure its dominant position in central China.
The Northeast has limited space for outward development, while Hubei has a broad future. Here, there is no need to worry about the thoughts of the old people in the Feng clan, and they can decide military and political actions on their own. Therefore, the young marshal's office was moved here, and the central headquarters of the People's Army and the People's Party were also moved here to make it easier for him to guide the work nearby. Along with the move of military and political agencies, his economic team also moved in, and this place became another command center of the Feng clique.
Here, he and his companions no longer limited their gaze to just one corner, but began to look at the overall situation from a broader perspective. The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly. Without any constraints, where will Zhang Hanqing's wings fly to? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 534 General trend
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
As time went by, Cao Kun, Zhang Zuolin and Xu Shichang were all dissatisfied with Jin Yunpeng's cabinet.
The Zhili clan believes that Jin Yunpeng favors the Fengcian clan in terms of the distribution of finances and rights. Because Jin Yunpeng and Zhang Zuolin are biological relatives, Jin intentionally favors the Fengcian clan. This is also true. Therefore, Cao Kun gradually grew tired of this cabinet and wanted to reorganize it.
Originally, Jin Yunpeng was close and straight, so the Feng family should treat Jin better. However, when Jin dealt with some issues, he inevitably failed to consider some of the Zhili's requirements, or in other words, he also had to take into account the balance of power between the Zhili and Fengxi, which also made Zhang Zuolin dissatisfied. What made Zhang Zuolin most dissatisfied was that Jin Yunpeng planned to appoint Wu Peifu as the envoy to inspect the two lakes in order to balance the forces of Zhili and Fengtian.
He absolutely cannot tolerate this happening. Although he also holds the title of Economic and Strategic Envoy of Mongolian Xinjiang, his main title is still Patrol Envoy of the Three Eastern Provinces. If Zhang Hanqing's actions in Hubei had not essentially disrupted the flow of history and prevented Wu Peifu from getting involved in Hubei, the junior teacher Zhang Zuolin despised might suddenly be mentioned as equal to Zhang. This matter was against him, and Jin Yunpeng should die if he thought of it.
The conflict between President Xu Shichang and Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng is also very sharp and they can hardly work together. Xu Shichang has a close relationship with members of the old transportation system and has a deep relationship. Ye Gongchuo, the head of the old Communications Department, desperately wanted to oust Jin Yunpeng. After coming up with the idea of ??letting the Feng Department buy shares in Bank of Communications, he also wanted to use his special advantageous position in controlling China's finance to set off a coup and support the pro-Japanese faction. Liang Shiyi, the backbone of the old transportation department.
By winter, the Beijing government was at the end of its rope. The trend of poverty has spread to central government employees and is spreading further. First, members of the Ministry of Education held an "alliance strike", and members of other ministries also "slowed down work" due to unpaid wages, making it almost impossible to carry out daily government affairs. What's more, the staff voluntarily requested to be disbanded, and many department heads also asked to resign.
“Army Chief Cai Chengxun, Navy Chief Li Dingxin, Justice Chief Dong Kang, etc., faced with salary demands from their ministers, had no choice but to resign. On the one hand, the warlords in various provinces withheld taxes and recruited troops; on the other hand, they sent urgent telegrams worth 100,000 yuan or 1 million yuan to urge the Beijing government to pay, implying murderous intentions. What is even more serious is that during the Washington Conference, the Japanese spread rumors that the five countries would jointly manage China's finances, thereby destroying the credit of China's domestic banks. Therefore, since November 16, runs on the Central Bank and Bank of Communications in Beijing, Tianjin and other places have gradually spread to Hankou.
Zhang Hanqing was unwilling to make such a change. Historically, it was because Zhang Zuolin overthrew Jin Fuliang and finally gave Wu Peifu an excuse that the Zhili-Fengtian War took place, which led to the first major defeat of the Fengjun army and destroyed the Fengtian clique's many years of business in the pass. once. Although Jin Yunpeng wavered, it was just a balancing act because he was weak and worried about losing his position. It was always much better than the old transportation system with potential.
After all, the north was stable when he was in power, and he has always had a tacit attitude towards the expansion of his own strength. Moreover, Jin's cabinet was recognized by the British and American countries and approved by most provincial warlords, so it had the advantage of legal legitimacy. Now that Cao Kun is rebelling against Jin, taking this opportunity, the Feng clique should take the opportunity to support Jin and have more say in Beijing's personnel administration, which may be more beneficial than overthrowing Jin.
Thinking over and over again, Zhang Hanqing first sent a secret telegram to Zhang Zuolin, which read: "Father, everyone signed: I have heard that I have abandoned Jin and supported Liang, and Xueliang will never agree. The current situation of the country is all in the hands of my father. China is weak and powerless. Even if we drive away all the great powers, although Britain, the United States, and Japan are all on the same team, Japan is especially a serious threat to our Northeast. If Liang Shiyi and his generation are in power, Cao and Wu will be jealous, and the situation will deteriorate rapidly. Zhifeng will have a battle. We will win. , then Britain and the United States are not willing to let Japan monopolize China, there will be a rebound, and the Japanese will take advantage of it, and the situation in the north will be unstable; if we lose, we will lose the great situation of unifying the world, and the victory will change hands from now on, and the future will be uncertain It is expected. Shi Xueliang has reached mutual understanding with the beauty in order to gradually replace the direct status. Chaos is gradually rising in the south. His father can use Sun Yat-sen's reputation to carry out the plan of unifying China, so he can not rely on others. All the above are dependent on the stability of the political situation. .
The money and food supply of the direct line depends on the central government. Although it has many soldiers, the north, west and south are all mine. Development is weak and it has become a trapped beast. The land of Anhui is flat and flat, and the land of Lu is uneasy. If the father should control the financial power of the central government, and then use the autonomy of the provinces as a pretext, then people will support him, and the direct forces will not be tolerated by the provinces. At that time, the military and administration were unified and the name of supervising and reducing troops was abolished, so the army had no logistics. Furthermore, I want to move eastward to Anhui and Shandong, open up the Tianjin-Puzhou line, and unite the northern and southern armies into one. This will double the strength of our army and make the development of the Zhizhi Army difficult. In time, we can pacify the north without a fight. "
Another telegram was issued to support Jin Yunpeng and issue the slogan of "unify the country". The message was: "Zhang Hanqing, the patrol envoy of Shaanxi, Gansu and Hubei, sent a message to President Xu Shichang, Premier Jin Yunpeng, Mr. Sun Yixian and the military and political leaders of each province."Gongchuo also wanted to use his own resourcefulness to make a comeback. If he hadn't been of some value now because of his deep understanding of the capital operations of the central banks, his position as president of Jiaotong University would not have been preserved.
Northeastern Bank obtained a controlling stake in the Central Bank through a small amount of shares; Northeast Agricultural Bank replaced the Agricultural Bank of China with its absolute capital. With its huge economic capacity, the Fengtian Clan has made great inroads into various parts of Beijing and Tianjin. All industries have been squeezed out by the power of the Fengcheng Clan's industry guilds (the trust's propaganda and united front organization). How can a single workshop-type unit be the same as what has already been done? Can they compete with the large northeastern enterprises that have initially established a modern enterprise system? Moreover, industry guilds are good at gathering strength!
"It's like walking in the desert for a long time and suddenly encountering a spring. The huge and powerful Northeastern financial groups and industrial groups have quickly engulfed many dotted island-like industries. They have looked at the hot land of North China from a new height. In addition to strict restrictions on military activities, the economic lifelines of Beijing, Tianjin, and Reich are already in the hands of the Feng clique.
Jin Yunpeng, who experienced the turmoil of overthrowing the cabinet, also completely fell in love with Zhang Zuolin. Against the pressure of President Xu Shichang, he summoned Liu Shangqing, Pan Fu, and Sun Liechen, important figures from the Feng clique, into the cabinet, serving as finance, agriculture and industry, and the very important army chief respectively, making the main cabinet members all members of the Feng clique.
Not to mention, the political forces headed by the People's Party also took this opportunity to start marching towards the National Assembly - the members of the old National Assembly were all elected before the rise of Feng Min, and many people did not agree with being "parents of food and clothing" The National Unification Committee made Zhang Hanqing very dissatisfied and looked forward to changing the status quo through an election.
He believes that as long as there is a congressional re-election, the Feng faction in as many as 15 provinces will definitely occupy a considerable position in the Congress and openly control the government without using various conspiracy strategies. This is called "yang conspiracy". Because they often held meetings in Xiangshan, they were known as the "Xiangshan Conference Faction." As the leader of the People's Party, Zhang Hanqing also became the most mentioned name in Beijing's political circles after the first decade of the Republic of China.
In view of the fact that Sun Liechen has entered the center, it is no longer appropriate to continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of Fengjun outside the Pass, and his physical condition has been something Zhang Hanqing has always been worried about. In any case, there is not much time left before the catastrophe of 1924 in his history. Although Zhang Hanqing has arranged for a full-time health care doctor for him and thinks he is in good health. After "recommendation" by Sun Liechen, approval by Zhang Zuolin, and approval by the Military Commission, Guo Songling was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Fengjun outside the Pass.
Guo Songling replaced Sun Liechen as one of the three pillars of the Fengjun Army (the second being Wu Junsheng and Zhang Zuoxiang), which was a sign that the Zhang Hanqing clique fully penetrated and took over the Fengcheng clique.
Through the efforts and promotion of the People's Party, "national unity" has become a very loud slogan in the northern part of the Republic of China. The strong organizational, publicity and mobilization capabilities make the People's Party occupy an increasingly important position in the consciousness of the Chinese people, and its outstanding military, political and economic capabilities are brought to the people of the country by the "National Unification Committee" advocated by the Feng faction. The assurance of living hope.

Chapter 535: Political power emerges from the barrel of a gun
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
In the battle between Hunan and Hubei, Zhao Heng, the governor of Hunan, lost his troops and abandoned his territory. He is also a strange person. Regardless of his merits and demerits, as far as his calligraphy is concerned, he is very prominent among famous figures in modern history.
The evaluation of him in history is that he has "deep foundation in tradition, orderly succession of teachers, clear context, and regularity, especially in official script. He is calm and agile, and heroic but quiet." According to official history, in the living room of Chiang Ching-kuo’s Qihai “Presidential Residence”, Zhang Daqian’s ink paintings and couplets written by Zhao Hengti were hung on the walls.
Military incompetence does not mean political naivety. In the early years of the Republic of China, when he was the governor of Hunan, he wanted to formulate a constitution and promote Hunan autonomy. To put it bluntly, he wanted to win public support and use the tiger's skin as a banner to prevent warlords from other provinces from getting involved in Hunan, so as to consolidate and protect himself.
In fact, this purpose does not violate the fundamental interests of the Hunan people. Compared with the armies of the northern and southern provinces, which are fighting in the name of unity, in fact, life and property are at stake. How can the Hunan people have the final say in their own land? Therefore, even though Zhao Heng was wary of the fact that he was engaged in dishonesty and election bribery, the people of Hunan finally acquiesced to his actions.
Objectively speaking, regardless of how unjust Zhao Hengti’s “autonomy and constitution” came from, once he put on the “autonomy” hat, it indeed caused great obstacles to the attempts of the North and the South to get involved in Hunan.
In the official history, Wu Peifu in the north occupied Yueyang and could attack Changsha in the south at any time. That was just a matter of destroying the imperial court, but why didn't he do this? On the one hand, it is to leave a buffer between Zhao Hengti and Sun Yat-sen of Guangdong. On the other hand, it goes without saying that the autonomy of Hunan Province and Zhao's status as the elected governor are legal obstacles that Wu Peifu cannot easily circumvent.
Sun Yixian in the south was bent on unifying the whole of China with the Northern Expedition, but he could only persuade Zhao Hengti to join his camp by wooing him, rather than rashly using force against Hunan. When Zhao Hengti disagreed, Sun Yixian had no choice but to detour to Jiangxi for the Northern Expedition.
When he was held responsible for the defeat, he did not think about the situation. Instead, he said: "In this battle, autonomy was not fully demonstrated, but even troops and territory were lost!" From then on, Hunan became a province, let alone a federal province. The so-called "Hunan people governing Hunan" has also lost the possibility of precise implementation. Zhao Hengti originally wanted to use Hubei as a buffer zone to prevent the Beiyang system from easily encroaching on Hunan, but he did not expect that stealing chickens would lead to losses of rice, and the People's Army would be directly introduced to his own door. He could only rely on Zhang Hanqing for everything. In this battle between Hunan and Hubei, Zhao Hengti spent a total of more than one million yuan in military expenditures, and more than 20,000 soldiers were killed or injured. The people in northern Hunan and southern Hubei suffered military disasters that were even more incalculable. Moreover, man-made disasters are always followed by natural disasters. Hunan suffered from floods and droughts for two consecutive years, and millions of hungry people in various counties flowed into big cities such as Changsha and Hengyang.
Zhao Hengti seems to attach great importance to "procedure". He will never do anything without establishing a "basis of public opinion." But for him, whether it is procedures or public opinion, they are still all for my own use, and have basically nothing to do with the so-called spirit of dishonesty.
At the beginning of the Hunan-Hubei War, Zhao Hengti still did not forget to report to the Hunan Provincial Council at this time, and formally issued a message to the Provincial Council, saying: " Hunan and Hubei are one family, and the people of Hubei are urgently asking for salvation. , our province, in order to respect public opinion and take into account the interests of its neighbors, convened a military meeting to decide to assist Hubei. "
"Zhao Hengti's words are not grandiose, but if you think about it carefully, is there any hint of provincial autonomy in it? People from Hunan govern Hunan and people from Hubei govern Hubei. They should be matters within their respective provinces. If the Hunan army intervenes in Hubei affairs with force, it is already a complete warlord melee. How can we talk about inter-provincial autonomy? Zhao Hengti lost his moral advantage entirely due to temporary greed. The idea that was originally very tenable in legal principles was overthrown by himself.
Zhao Hengti’s thoughts were all on how to rectify the Hunan Army, which had just been hit hard, and he didn’t care about the life and death of the people! The provincial constitution originally stipulated that the people had the right to receive disaster relief, but at this time he canceled the daily relief for the hungry people of two beans per person and replaced it with gruel mixed with chaff. There was a lot of dissatisfaction for a while, especially students launched large-scale demonstrations.
The provincial constitution also stipulates that people have the right to demonstrate, but Zhao Hengti came up with a strange trick: asking the soldiers to go to the streets and beat the students on the grounds that the students had insulted the soldiers! After receiving the order, the Qiu Ba men dispersed and intercepted the students who had disbanded after the parade. They were beaten until the students had nowhere to hide. Even though the students did not dare to go to the streets the next day, the soldiers came to the school to fight. This time it was really a scholar who met a soldier. He simply had no reason to talk and had to suspend classes to avoid trouble.
The students were beaten for three days in a row, which not only broke the young minds, but also the thoughts of fighting for rights with the Constitution and peace in their heads. Historically, the younger generation in Hunan, represented by Mao Zedong, was able to embark on a more radical revolutionary road. I am afraid it has something to do with this stick!
TimeFight outside the city. When the two armies faced each other, they wanted to "punish thieves" on the one hand and "protect the constitution" on the other. But in the final analysis, words alone are not enough. Victory or defeat must be decided by guns and cannons. To paraphrase the young marshal’s words, political power can come from the barrel of a gun.
At the critical moment of the confrontation between the two armies, Zhao's subordinate Zhu Yaohua rebelled with his regiment and marched straight into Changsha, almost capturing Zhao Hengti alive. Lao Zhao fled to Zhuzhou and no longer cared about self-government. When the foothold was not stable, he fled south to Hengyang again, busy like a fish that slipped through the net.
In this battle, Yu Xuezhong personally took the risk and his troops were invincible. He ran for 11 consecutive days and marched 600 miles, but his fighting spirit remained undiminished. If the Guangdong-Hankou Railway had not been delayed due to the complex terrain and difficult engineering of the more than 400 kilometers of the Shaoguan-Zhuzhou section, it would not be difficult for Yu Xuezhong's department to reach Hengyang in one go.
Even so, Zhao Hengti was frightened and sent electricity to the field in Hengyang urgently.

Chapter 536 Wuhan Military Academy
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Since ancient times, there has been a saying in Hunan that "without Hunan, no army can be formed." Zeng Guofan was the first to open the Hunan Army. In official history, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hunan was the only place in the country. Hundreds of generals fought with great achievements, which shows the prosperity of the talents of the Hunan people.
Zhang Hanqing was rewarded for his merits, and Yu Xuezhong was promoted to major general and brigade commander, responsible for recruiting new soldiers in Hunan. In addition to reorganizing the original two divisions of the Hunan Army into one division, another division was recruited and designated as the 8th and 9th Divisions of the People's Army respectively.
Because the People's Army is expanding too fast, its important sources include the Zhili Clan, the Shaanxi Jingguo Army, the Henan Zhensong Army, the Ningxia Huibing Clan, the Hubei Army, the Hunan Army, and the Laofeng Clan. Each department and system is mixed with different ideologies, unlike the Northeast Fengjun Originally evolved from a system. Zhang Hanqing conquered Hunan and Hubei, and the territory became much larger. The original Northwest People's Army had military presence in both northwest and central China. The name "Northwest People's Army" is no longer appropriate.
In order to unite all forces, Zhang Hanqing reorganized the Northwest People's Army into the Northwest Military Region of the Chinese People's Army, and the former Northwest People's Army that entered Hubei, Anhui and Hunan became the Central China Military Region of the Chinese People's Army.
In order to prevent the military from being subject to regional discrimination and reduce the habit of serving the army, all officers and soldiers are required to "obey the party's words, be closely connected with the people, without distinction of region or nationality, and unite sincerely to unify the motherland."
The People's Army is indeed expanding too fast. Wang Yizhe, the former director of the General Political Department of the Northwest People's Army, is one of two leaders. He no longer has time to pay attention to the affairs of the Northwest. The political mobilization and ideological work of several units in Guanghua Education and organizational development already keep him busy. Many new troops and new officers do not yet fully understand the People's Party's policies. The reorganization of the army is mostly done in the old warlord way, and corrections will take time.
The 4th Cavalry Division, which was originally the elite of the People's Army, needed to be "mixed with sand" and reorganized. One of the five cavalry regiments in the division has been transferred to the 5th and 6th Shaanxi Divisions and the 1st Hubei Division. Even if it is injected into the troops originally stationed in Hubei The vast majority of the troops of the 18th Infantry Division will no longer be able to form the main force in the short term due to extensive divestiture.
Only the elite 1st Division of the entire Central China Army can fight, and Zhang Hanqing did not dare to take risks. I don’t know what the situation in Beijing is like now, but history clearly records that the first Zhizhi-Fengtian War took place this year.
Although he has slightly changed the situation in Northeast China with his extraordinary abilities since time travel, he still has no ability to bring about qualitative changes in most events, such as Japan's encroachment on Northeast China, the Japanese army's interference in the situation in Soviet Russia, and the May Fourth Movement , Zhiwan War
If a war between Zhili and Fengtian breaks out at this time, Zhang Hanqing has no confidence in retaining the territory of the two lakes that he finally won. Of course, he is still capable of retreating to the northwest, but it will inevitably add new variables to the future.
It’s time to take a break and run the army. In addition, future military expansion and preparation for war will cost money. To truly take root here, we must also provide tangible benefits to the people. It is necessary to recuperate the tired place. Otherwise, the economy will not be able to prosper, and I will waste my two fertile lands in Hubei and Hunan, which are known as "Hunan and Guangzhou are ripe and the world is rich".
It's a pity that Jiang Baili was poached by his father. Otherwise, if he were here, the combat training work would be handed over to him, the party affairs and political training work would be handed over to Wang Yizhe, and the military affairs would be handed over to Ji Yiqiao. He could concentrate on revitalizing people's livelihood and think about it along the way. One step.
I need talents!
With this in mind, he made preparations for the Wuhan Military Academy while looking for talented people. Before the war in central Hunan had subsided, Zhang Hanqing had arranged for a large number of mid-level and senior instructors from the Northeast Lecture Hall to go south to replenish the ranks of officers in the newly established divisions, and at the same time, he planned to establish a Wuhan Military Academy.
There is a paper mill in Chenjiaji, Hankou, which has ceased production. It has a large yard and few vacant rooms. Zhang Hanqing established Wuhan Military Academy on this basis. The foundation stone was laid on October 1, 1921 and completed on February 15 of the following year, covering an area of ??approximately 10,000 square meters.
The headquarters of the military academy is a Japanese-shaped two-story brick and wood structure with three roads and four entrances, connected by a cloister. The gate of the military academy is very simple in style. On the horizontal plaque above the center are the words "Wuhan Military Academy established by the People's Party". Excluding the status of other political parties in the school was written by Zhang Hanqing.
There is a couplet hanging at the door of the second gate: "Kill all the enemies and stop; don't look back until you complete the revolution." On the wall to the right of the second gate is the school motto "The relationship between the military and the people" written by Zhang Hanqing. There is a couplet hanging on both sides of the colorful building at the gate of the military academy: "If you want to get promoted and make a fortune, please go elsewhere; if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter this gate." The banner reads "Revolutionaries are coming." (Is this scene familiar?)
The military academy is composed of six departments: politics, education, training, management, and medicine, which are divided into supply departments and divided into infantry, artillery, engineering, baggage, military police, and political departments. The first principal was personally appointed by Zhang Hanqing. The five-star red flag was officially adopted as the flag of the People's Party and the flag of the People's Government, and showed the spirit of the young marshal.With the title of brigade commander, he acts as the division commander of the new 9th Division. Saying they were agents was just a cover-up because of insufficient qualifications. Within half a year, the two of them became full-time employees.
As long as there are no major changes in the political situation, the northwest will have no worries about internal enemies. Therefore, the northwest military region, which is the base camp of the People's Army (this is the first time Zhang Hanqing has clearly proposed the concept of military regions to coordinate the logistics, equipment and unified command of various combat forces), The focus is on military and civilian construction and as a reserve force.
Therefore, the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th divisions, which had no significant advantage in strength, were left here, with Xu Lanzhou as commander, stationed in Lanzhou, and controlling the military affairs of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, Xinjiang, and Mongolia provinces. Zhang Hanqing suggested that Hu Jingyi should hold the post of chief of staff of the Northwest Military Region concurrently as a model for the People's Party's united front.
As a military assistant to the young marshal, Han Linchun was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the People's Army. He is now completely able to stand alone——

Chapter 537 Life-saving Food
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Since the northwest hinterland is too far away from Wuhan, based on the principle of commanding from the nearest location, Zhang Hanqing established the Central China People's Army Headquarters and separated some troops from the Northwest People's Army.
The main two divisions of the People's Army, the 1st and 4th, and the newly formed 7th, 8th, and 9th divisions were incorporated into the Central China Military Region and were stationed in Wuchang to control the military affairs of Hunan and Hubei provinces. The commander of the Central China Military Region is Jian Yiqiao. In addition to these troops, it also controls the Hubei 1st Division, which has not joined the People's Army, and the mobile 26th Division.
Although Zhang Zuoxiang was appointed to take charge of the Armed Police Force, considering the backwardness of the road and communication system, the jurisdiction of the Armed Police Force of the two headquarters was temporarily under the direct responsibility of each headquarters.
The two major headquarters rested separately and trained together, and a brief peace was achieved in central and western China.
Just as Zhang Hanqing turned his attention to the Land of Abundance, which was surrounded by Shaanxi, Gansu and Hubei under the control of the People's Army, the Soviet envoy who moved from Xinjiang to Lanzhou contacted the Northwest People's Army and heard that the Soviet leader accepted the offer of food. Yi Junhuo's proposal.
This is long overdue good news. Zhang Hanqing was worried that the People's Army was too far away from the Fengtian headquarters and was worried about insufficient equipment supply, and that transporting arms by sea and the Yangtze River was not a long-term solution. He had just dozed off when the pillow came.
It turns out that the food problem in Soviet Russia has reached the point where the party and the country will be destroyed.
Wartime communism catalyzed famine and triggered peasant riots that spread to many provinces across the country. From the end of 1920 to the spring of 1921, peasant riots broke out in Ukraine, southeastern and central Russia, Siberia, and along the Volga River. The climax was in December 1921, when more than 60,000 peasants participated in the riot in Ishim County, Siberia. More than 50,000 people participated in the peasant uprising in Tambov Province.
During the peasant uprising, the Kronstadt military riot broke out on February 28, 1921. Most of the 26,000 rioting sailors came from rural areas. They were the first to fire on the Winter Palace during the October Revolution. At this time, they revolted again because they opposed the Bolshevik centralization of power and the "surplus grain collection system".
Tambov Province has the most fertile black soil in the world, and its grain was once sold throughout Russia and Europe. Before the October Revolution, it was one of the most fertile provinces in Russia. After the establishment of the Soviet regime in 1917, the area had been passively resisting the surplus grain collection system, which turned into an open armed peasant riot. As the Soviet Russian government suppressed the rioting farmers in Tambov Province, the province's economy also fell to the second to last place in the country, losing two-thirds of its residents and falling into a situation where it was unable to support itself. .
Not only China, but also the tragedy of cannibalism occurred during the famine in Soviet Russia in the early 1920s. At the Ninth All-Russian Congress of Soviets, Burmatnov, a farmer representative from the Samara region where the great famine occurred, pointed out in his speech at the conference that cannibalism had occurred in the local area because of the famine.
During a break in the meeting, Lenin asked Antonov, the leader of the Samara Province’s committee for famine relief, and asked: “The peasant representative of your province, Burmatnov, spoke very well, but Comrade Antonov , he said that cannibalism happened there." Antonov replied: "Comrade Vladimir Ilyich, the situation is not just like that, cannibalism does not only happen there."
"People eat corpses?!" Lenin asked in surprise, and immediately pointed out angrily: "Armed interventionists must be punished for this!" Naturally, he did not mention the armed food collection team.
However, grain still had to be collected. On May 19, 1921, M.N. Tukhachevsky, the commander of the Soviet government's force to suppress peasant uprisings, issued a "Message to the Red Army Soldiers on the Front Line", calling on the Red Army soldiers to " The enemies of the working class strike bravely and resolutely, and Tambov's gangsters are doomed!"
In order to completely quell the Tambov peasant uprising, the Soviet Russian government's "Anti-Bandit Committee" even decided on June 21, 1921 to recommend that Tukhachevsky use poison gas to attack "bandits" and "be extremely cautious, and if necessary, Adequate technical preparation and availability to ensure success.” On August 22, 1921, an artillery brigade stationed in Tan Province consumed 82 poison gas bombs.
The imminent reality of the Great Famine forced the Soviet government to abandon the wartime communist policy in March 1921 and implement a transitional new economic policy, replacing the surplus grain collection system with grain taxes and allowing farmers to own surplus grain and To trade.
It is worth mentioning that historically, the U.S. Relief Administration sent relief personnel to Soviet Russia. After providing guarantees to the Soviet Russian government, they carried out relief in 16 districts in Soviet Russia and purchased grain from the United States and transported it to the Soviet Union. In Russia, as of July 1922, a total of 720,000 tons of grain and other food had arrived in the Soviet Union. The American Relief Administration also provided medical assistance to hungry people and purchased grain for the Soviet Russian government in the international market.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Soviet government still prefers to obtain supplies mainly from China.Grain, this not only loses dignity, but also indirectly shows his support for the Fengxi government.
Because from the overall point of view, it is only a matter of time before the Fengcun takes over China. Being able to establish good relations with future members of the Chinese government in advance will be very beneficial to Soviet Russia in broadening its living space and expanding its influence around the world. In addition, China's strength can effectively curb Japan's pressure on its Far East.
So the Soviet and Russian envoys were ordered to negotiate with them about exchanging food for arms. Not only that, they also decided to give China an artillery production line and a group of arms experts. Of course, the premise was that the Chinese government had to pay a large sum of money for this.
Of course we have to provide it. Not to mention technical support, even future generations of employees will have a sum of money when they travel on business, right? Zhang Hanqing was happy to have an in-depth conversation with him and proposed a package assistance plan including machine tools, metallurgy, chemical industry, and oil exploration technology. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish. China is so big that we cannot rely solely on foreign aid.
This surprised the Soviets. A hundred years ago, Germany's iron-blooded prime minister, Bismarck, received two delegations from China and Japan respectively. Later, someone asked him what he thought of China and Japan. He pointed out that in the competition between China and Japan, Japan must win and China must lose. Why? Because "Japanese people who come to Europe discuss various academics, pay attention to political principles, and seek to return to their country to make fundamental reforms; while Chinese people come to Europe and only ask how well the ship's guns are made by a certain factory, what is their value, and just buy them back." .”
The current top leaders of the People's Party can actually have such a vision, which makes them feel that this is a political party and government that has the potential, value and ability to deal with. Laying a good foundation of friendship with them in advance is even more precious than obtaining food to save millions of people.
Of course, the Zhangs and his son will not do anything to make a profit. They will spend a lot of time dealing with Soviet Russia in the future. It is also a good thing to lend a hand to them in times of crisis to gain trust. Anyway, even if the Chinese government does not pull in the Soviet Union, Soviet Russia will still be there. Live well.
The trade started in Xinjiang and Mongolia, and China delivered batches of food that could survive. This kind of thing, which is comparable to gold, makes the Soviet Russian government more fond of the Feng clique and the young marshal who always advocates friendship. After the crisis was over, the Soviet Russian government conveyed goodwill to the Fengcian clique and the People's Party through the words of writer Gorky.
Gorky pointed out gratefully in a letter to Huang Fengting, the general person in charge of Sino-Russian grain trade and the president of Northeast Grain and Oil Group: " you have taken back 3.5 million children and 5.5 million adults from the God of Death As far as I know No action in the history of human suffering can match the scale and generosity of this aid"——

Chapter 538 The Collapse of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
“While the People’s Army was fighting its way through the south, the international situation had undergone great changes.
The refusal to sign the Paris Peace Treaty has a milestone significance in the history of Chinese diplomacy. For the first time, China said "no" to the great powers, finally breaking the diplomatic situation of "starting with fighting and ending with giving in". In the end, China did not give in. This was also the starting point of China's diplomatic victory. It also caused the US government and opposition parties to re-examine their policies towards China.
Because of the Chinese people's unyielding struggle against Japan during the May 4th Movement, as well as the dissatisfaction of the Western government and opposition parties with the Japanese compromise policy of the British and American authorities, things must be reversed. Impacted and influenced by these public opinions, the United States adjusted its Far East policy after the war: from allying with Japan to containing it. Japan.
Because after World War I, the isolationist trend resurfaced in the United States, and citizens were unwilling to show off America's muscles in distant Asia. This made it impossible for the government to expand its military. At the same time, its troops stationed in Asia were not enough to compete with Japan. confrontation.
In fact, although the United States is considered to have retreated into an "isolationist" policy because it refused to join the League of Nations and signed a peace treaty with Germany, what it pursues is freedom of action in order to take advantage of favorable opportunities to expand the United States' influence in the world. , plays a leading role in world politics and economics, and therefore actively participates in safeguarding world peace, contributes to world economic prosperity, and participates in armed intervention against socialism. It is actually a kind of "independent cosmopolitanism."
At the turn of the century, the U.S. Navy stationed in the Far East was affected by two major events. The Spanish-American War was the first of these events. The United States dispatched a naval squadron led by Commodore George Dewey to Hong Kong and Manila successively. This fleet defeated the Spanish forces in Manila. This was an event with a major impact.
Dewey’s victory allowed the United States to take the Philippine Islands as its own, so that the Philippine Islands became an operational base for the United States to promote military and commercial activities in the Far East. More importantly, after 1898, Far East politics had obvious interests for the United States. The United States occupied the Philippine Islands, which made the United States assume the obligation to protect the Philippine Islands. In order to fulfill this obligation, the United States must continue to station U.S. Army and Navy troops in this region.
The U.S. naval force stationed in Far Eastern waters is relatively weak. After occupying the Philippines, the United States faced an unsolvable defense problem because the U.S. Army did not have enough troops to guard the archipelago and prevent a successful invasion. You must know that after World War I, the U.S. Army only had 200,000 troops. This amount of troops was enough to defend the U.S. land surrounded by two oceans. However, some of them were sent to the distant Philippines. The government and the opposition were puzzled by this: There were too few troops. It won't work; if we have more troops, we will inevitably spend huge amounts of money. Is this necessary?
At the same time, the size of the U.S. naval fleet in peacetime is not large. It can only maintain the necessary force in one ocean region for a period of time, and cannot take care of two oceans. Since the United States strategically prioritizes the Atlantic theater, it is impossible to deploy a combat fleet in the Western Pacific. The United States recognized the strategic vulnerability of the Philippine Islands, and during the first quarter of the twentieth century the United States pursued two policies to remedy this weakness: first, the United States attempted to negotiate a diplomatic agreement to protect the archipelago; The United States has also stationed a naval force in the area.
Military and diplomatic decision-makers both believe that Japan poses the most serious threat to the Philippines. The United States is trying to establish closer relations with Japan to protect the Philippine Islands. Under this circumstance, the United States and Japan signed the Taft-Katsura Agreement in 1905, the Lotto-Takahira Agreement in 1908, and the Lansing-Ishii Agreement in 1917.
The United States wants to use these agreements to make Japan recognize that the United States has sovereignty over the Philippines. What these agreements imply is that in exchange, the United States will acquiesce to Japan's various desires in Korea and China.
However, Japan's actions in Vladivostok and the large number of troops stationed in Siberia exposed its desires to everyone. Especially after the "intervention forces" of Britain, the United States and other countries decided to withdraw from the Far East, Japan simply broke the agreement, which greatly disappointed the United States. , and after the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, the conflicts between the United States and Japan became increasingly acute due to competition for interests in China, Yap Island and the mandated islands.
In this way, the United States has become more wary of Japan, the naval arms race between the two countries has intensified, and the cloud of war between the United States and Japan has become more and more serious. In view of this, in the 1920s, the commanders-in-chief of the Asian Fleet believed that their main mission was to prepare for a large-scale naval battle. Instead, they believed that protecting and advancing U.S. interests in China was secondary. Task.
The commander of the U.S. Asia Fleet solemnly described the mission of the Asia Fleet: The most crucial task during wartime is to execute the "OrangeThe Asia-Pacific region cannot thrive alone, and it must rely on the more powerful United States to act. This is the first time that Japan has been isolated in Asia-Pacific affairs. It has also caused the Japanese government to be dissatisfied with Britain and the United States and other countries, so that it has become increasingly aggressive towards China, especially Northeast China. There have been great changes in the policy, which has brought considerable benefits to the Fengclique government: in the subsequent confrontation between the People's Army, the Fengclique and the Zhili clique supported by Britain and the United States, he basically watched with a gloating mentality.
I’m afraid this was unexpected by the American elites who made the original policy, right?——

Chapter 539 Beyond the Treaty

To comfort Japan, the United States also compensated him. On February 6, 1922, the United States, Britain, Japan, France, and Italy signed the "Washington Naval Treaty" in Washington to limit the tonnage of naval capital ships. In this treaty, Japan, whose naval strength was originally far inferior to that of France, suddenly gained power far exceeding that of France.
The treaty stipulates that the total tonnage ratio of warships and battlecruisers of each signatory country is 10:10:6:3.5:3.5. At the same time, strict restrictions were placed on the construction, rotation, tonnage and weapons of capital ships. The treaty also stipulates that the signatory countries maintain the status quo in defense zones and naval bases on the Western Pacific islands. The five countries also signed a separate treaty regulating the use of submarines and poison gas.
The biggest winner of this treaty is still the United States, followed by Japan: through this treaty, the United States gained equal status in naval power with Britain, known as the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets," allowing the United States to eventually dominate the two oceans by relying on its powerful industrial power. Open Pandora's box. Japan has openly become a regional naval power and expanded its actual presence in the Pacific.
Washington's arms agreement was actually a "mutual pursuit on paper." The United States tried to ensure the status quo in the Pacific in the Four-Nation Treaty and the Nine-Nation Treaty reached at this conference, and to strengthen the "Open Door" proposed in 1899 and 1900. "The credibility of the policy. If these goals can be achieved, the need for the United States to maintain a naval force in the Far East will be greatly reduced, eliminating the need to station a naval force to protect the Philippine Islands and U.S. commercial activities in the region.
As for the United Kingdom, because of the rise of Japan's naval power and the inability to deploy the vast majority of its maritime power in the Asia-Pacific, it wisely chose the United States to ally with Japan or the United States. From then on, it not only accepted the reality that the United States was on par with it, but also had to cooperate in the Asia-Pacific and the United States. The United States advances and retreats together - because its power is not enough to check and balance Japan alone.
Another international conference related to China was held in Washington, the capital of the United States, from November 11, 1921 to February 6, 1922. Participants included the United States, Britain, Japan, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Portugal. , the nine countries of China, and the final resolution was called the "Treaty on Principles and Policies Applicable to Incidents in China", referred to as the "Nine-Nation Convention".
This time, the Chinese government sent Shi Zhaoji, Gu Weijun, and Wang Chonghui as plenipotentiary representatives, and Yu Rizhang and Jiang Menglin as national representatives. A huge delegation of more than 130 people attended. Its top priority was to solve the Shandong issue. The original plan also included Wu Chaoshu, the deputy director of foreign affairs of the Guangzhou government, as a representative. However, Sun Yat-sen did not recognize the Beijing government and requested to be sent by himself, but Wu Chaoshu did not go.
During the meeting, China proposed to take back its tariff autonomy, cancel consular jurisdiction, withdraw foreign troops stationed in China, and take back concessions and leased areas, but they were all rejected.
This is also expected. Such a big concession cannot be tolerated by the major powers including the United States. However, this proposal was put forward by the Chinese Beiyang government under the instruction of the United States. Because the United States is preparing to propose an "open door" policy, its premise is to "respect China's sovereignty, independence, territorial and administrative integrity" and establish the principles of "open door" and "equal opportunity" for all countries in China. Japan dominates Shandong, so this policy cannot be implemented.
Let the Chinese delegation ask for prices all over the country, which will inevitably force all countries to pay back the money on the spot. In this way, China's Shandong issue can be solved. The British, with a "guilty" mood, may not want Japan to dominate China. Bar? As long as Britain and the United States are synchronized, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Portugal will not be a problem. It is difficult for Japan alone to compete with the eight countries.
It cannot be said that the American diplomatic strategy was unsuccessful. In fact, the strength of the Americans and the background of signing the contract in Washington have shown that the United States has an unshakable position in Asia.
The talks between China and Japan were completed on February 4, and the Treaty on the Resolution of the Shandong Issue and its Addendum were signed in Washington. The treaty stipulates that Japan will return the old German leased land to China, and China will open all the land as a commercial port; the Japanese troops originally stationed in Qingdao, the Jiaoji Railway and its branches should immediately withdraw; Qingdao Customs will be returned to China; the Jiaoji Railway and its branches will be returned to China, etc. .
Although this appendix stipulates many special rights for Japanese and foreign nationals, China recovered the sovereignty of the Shandong Peninsula and the rights and interests of the Jiaoji Railway through this treaty, which can be said to be the greatest blessing among misfortunes in old China.
Two days later, the United States, Britain, Japan and China signed the Treaty on Principles and Policies Applicable to Incidents in China. In order to ensure the outcome of the negotiations on the Shandong issue, it is stipulated that the contracting parties "shall not enter into treaties or agreements or agreements or understandings with each other or with any one or more countries individually or jointly", infringing or hindering the principles mentioned in Article 1;
In Article 3, it is further implemented.?The principle of "open door" and "equal opportunity": shall not seek or sponsor its own people to seek "general superior rights regarding business or economic development in any designated area in China" and "any patent or superior right." All countries have equal trade opportunities with China.
Relevant provisions stipulate that the nine countries will establish an international committee to study China’s tariff policy.
This article is essentially a new aggression, but under the guise of respecting China's sovereignty, it essentially coerces the Chinese government to implement the principles of "open door" and "equal opportunity" and prevent Japan's hegemony through the openness of the conclusion of the treaty. China's purpose has been extremely poorly evaluated in Chinese history. Mao Zedong once said, "The convention signed at the Nine-Nation Conference in Washington convened by the United States in 1922 returned China to a situation of joint dominance by several imperialist countries."
Because this treaty restricted Japan’s monopoly over China during the war, the United States was the leader and the British and Japanese imperialists jointly controlled China’s aggression. Regarding this treaty, Zhang Hanqing believes that even if it is not a good treaty, it will not make China's current situation worse. Because at least, Japan's strong penetration in Northeast China can be prevented.
The reason why he spared no effort to "join" the British and Americans in the Northeast was to adopt the strategy of "using the barbarians to control the barbarians" and try to get them to board his chariot, even though he knew that this kind of pinning his hopes on would never "speak for China". "Yingmei's body is just a kind of spiritual comfort. However, compared to Japan's dominant one, he is still willing to make more changes.
Because times have changed, Zhang Hanqing feels that as long as there is strong strength, there may be value in using this treaty to prevent possible territorial threats. Since Japan captured Dalian in the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, its government has been entrenched in Northeast China for many years and has never dared to openly use troops on a large scale here, which also shows the binding force of this treaty on Japan.
After the meeting, in response to the resentment and complaints of the Japanese representatives, the British representative Balfour said: "The British Empire needs the Anglo-Japanese alliance, but it also needs the reduction of armaments and the friendship of the United States."
However, Britain's concession did not bring benefits to the United States. The United States will not give up all efforts to fight for Britain's world hegemony just because of a concession from Britain and the promotion of friendly relations between Britain and the United States. Just like when Britain and the United States had a sharp conflict over the cruiser issue in 1928, Britain As the Admiralty put it in criticizing the policy of the Foreign Office: "We were always making concessions, and were always told that the next step would be a change of attitude, with the result that they were more than ever seeking to gain an advantage over us, and to Be skeptical.”
The relations between Britain, the United States, and Japan did not improve permanently because of a treaty. On the contrary, the dissatisfaction hidden in it continued to ferment for a period of time, making the situation in the Far East not in the direction of peace. develop. As Tyler Dennett, an authority on the Far East, summed up: "Every country, including the United States, is responsible for all the scourges that now constitute the Far East problem. We should all still abandon our belief in justice and innocent victims forever. It is better to face the reality with a repentant mood."——

Chapter 540 Demanding Accounts
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
With the end of the Japan-UK alliance, Japan's control in the Asia-Pacific is in danger of being diluted by Britain and the United States. In particular, the "opening of the door" forced Liaodong, which was originally its own backyard, to "open" to the United States and other countries. This is Japan's shame and a major issue that makes Japan panic.
Since the Boxer Compensation, Japan has become the largest power in Asia. During the First World War, the old Western colonial countries had no time to look eastward. This not only provided space for Japan's aggressive expansion policy, but also brought great consequences to Japan's economy. The "war boom".
Starting from the summer of the second year of the war, Japan's trade exports surged and shipping was extremely prosperous. These created opportunities for development and prosperity for the export industry, shipbuilding industry, and basic and related industries including mining, making various industrial sectors expanded rapidly. The entire manufacturing industry increased by more than 30 times, and the chemical industry increased by more than 96 times. In the second half of 1918, the profit rate of major industries reached 55.2%, which was as high as 191.6% in certain periods, and the shipbuilding industry also reached 166.6%.
Through the First World War, Japan became a superpower from a long-term population superpower since Meiji, and its industrial structure also changed from an agricultural country before the war to an industrial country. Before the war, its agricultural output value accounted for 45.1% of its gross national product, and its industrial output value accounted for 44.5%. At the end of the war, its agricultural output value dropped to 35.1%, and its industrial output value rose to 56.8%.
At the same time, a group of "war upstarts" made huge war fortunes and grew into "new plutocrats", and monopoly capital further developed.
The “war boom” ended with the end of the war, followed by half a year of economic depression. The second year after the war, there was another "crazy boom" that lasted for about a year and was better than the wartime. However, this post-war prosperity could not be sustained, and in the spring of 1920, a real post-war economic crisis occurred. The crisis was profound and had wide-reaching consequences, with stock prices plummeting, companies closing, bank runs, and the economy depressed.
The Japanese government raised and issued relief financial loans, and after about half a year of efforts, the crisis eased. However, except for the "intermediate boom" in 1921, the Japanese economy never experienced prosperity again, and the stagnation continued until the Taisho era. end.
So on the surface, the arms limitation treaty gives Japan the green light to become a naval power. However, due to economic conditions, its naval expansion only remains on paper.
In this case, tightening monetary policy, investing capital back into the country, and increasing exports are the only ways to get out of the crisis. Since 1921, Japan has continuously urged the central government to repay the principal and interest of the "Nishihara Loan".
In fact, the Japanese government’s money-spreading “soft policy” operated by Nishihara also has Japan’s own needs behind it. Since World War I, although Japan has nominally participated in the war, it has not used a single soldier except to take advantage of the situation and occupy Qingdao. The capture of Qingdao and Shandong is a transaction with a small cost and huge profit.
Japan, which has no need to contribute, can take advantage of the time when the European powers have no time to look around to expand its market share in China. At the same time, it can also take advantage of the warring countries to engage in large-scale business and make a lot of money in the war. Japan is actually in a similar situation to the United States. It’s just that the United States later sent troops to Europe on a large scale, while Japan ended a small war and became a supplier from then on.
Therefore, over the past few years, Japan has made some windfall fortunes.
Chief Katsuda of the temple cabinet said that due to the war in Japan at that time, "the situation was extremely prosperous, with huge trade surpluses every year. At the same time, in terms of international lending, there was a surplus of funds in the domestic financial sector. There are huge settlement overcharges and a large amount of coins accumulated, which jeopardizes the exchange of foreign exchange funds.
If left unchecked for a long time, the economy will become seriously imbalanced, and the result will inevitably lead to a situation where the future of the national economy is worrying." In order to solve the problem of excess funds, Japan has only two options, one is to step up foreign investment, and the other is to make profits Borrowing. Obviously, in this kind of borrowing, not only economic accounts can be settled, but also political accounts can be settled.
“This kind of tolerant policy marked by borrowing has very sinister intentions hidden behind it.
In Nishihara’s own words, the purpose of borrowing money is to lay a common economic foundation for Sino-Japanese relations. That is, by borrowing a large amount of Japanese yen and injecting it into China's national banks such as the Bank of Communications, by helping China rectify its finances and reform its currency system, it will gradually achieve "Japan-China currency mixing" and even eventually "in the name of protecting funds", the Japanese military will be stationed. State Bank of China. That is, not only in terms of funds, but also through military control, they fundamentally control China's finance, and then control the lifeblood of the entire Chinese country.
Masatoshi Terauchi once proudly said that through Nishihara’s borrowing, Japan’s political and economic privileges were “more than ten times the twenty-one”!
According to his own statistics, Nishihara borrowed money during the period of the temple cabinet.?But regardless of the rights and wrongs, he couldn't explain it to the country if he couldn't solve the problem. He couldn't help but said to Zhang Zuolin: "Marshuai Zhang, you should know what kind of turmoil will be caused in Japan if this loan cannot be recovered?"
Zhang Zuolin responded: "You know, you shouldn't have signed such a contract in the first place. Now you know how difficult it is, right? In our country, a group of people who agreed to sign the treaty have now stepped down."
The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death? At this point, from a politician's perspective, he even said "step down", it couldn't be any more serious. Xiaoban had no choice but to go back early and discuss with people at home how to deal with the aftermath.
At that time, Powell, the editor-in-chief of the Miller Review, an English-language newspaper published by Americans in Shanghai, interviewed Zhang Zuolin. After the American returned home, he also expressed his respect for the marshal who came from a humble background in his memoirs. He believed that although Northeast China had been under the iron heel of Japanese warlords for a long time, Zhang Zuolin was worthy of being a patriotic Chinese——

Chapter 541: Abolish the Supervisor and Reduce Troops (Part 1)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
After Zhang Hanqing gradually settled the situation between the two lakes, the next step was already on the table. Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan-Guizhou were out of reach (the territories in southern Hunan and western Hunan had not yet been conquered, so Zhang Hanqing used 1 division of new soldiers and Jin Yun'e's brigade to encircle and suppress the center, while training troops, while also serving as a buffer for southwest and southern China).
Sichuan has inconvenient transportation and is fragmented. It is difficult to achieve success in the short term. However, the direct line guards the heart of the north. It is backed by Gyeonggi and has the populous provinces of Henan and Hebei. It has sufficient troops and is a serious threat to its confidants. It is an important enemy to unify the north.
Zhang Hanqing decided to march eastward to Anhui where the army was weak, and then take control of Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai in order to obtain important financial support in East China. At this time, the policies put forward by Xu Shiying in Anhui during his administration to oppose bribery, remove supervision and reduce troops, etc. encountered strong obstruction from local warlords, and disputes broke out in Anhui.
In October 1921, Xu Shiying was appointed in critical situation and served as the seventh governor of Anhui Province. The year after he took office, he declared the qualifications for the bribery of provincial legislators arranged by Ni Daoxuan and others invalid, and conducted a new election to support the struggle of people from all walks of life in the province against bribery of the third provincial assembly.
Before Yuan Shikai dissolved the National Assembly (National Assembly) for the first time in 1914 in order to restore the monarchy, the Anhui Provincial Assembly had been dissolved by Ni Sichong, the Beiyang-Anhui clique warlord and the governor of Anhui, setting a precedent for the dissolution of assembly nationwide.
In 1916, Yuan Jihong's constitutional monarchy failed, the provincial councils were resurrected, and Anhui Province also resumed provincial council activities.
In the election of the second Provincial Assembly in 1918, Nee manipulated the private party "Public Welfare Maintenance Committee" behind the scenes, so that nine out of ten of the 108 members elected were from Nee's private party.
In the third provincial council election, the "Public Welfare Maintenance Committee" appointed candidates as usual, openly bought votes, and forged electoral rolls, making the third provincial council members all members of Ni's private party. Therefore, opposition to vote bribery became the basis of the Anhui people's struggle. main target.
?????????????????????????????????????? ??????????? ?????????? ??????????? ?????????? ?????????? ??????????? ??????????? ?????????? ?????????? ?????????? ??????????? ?????????? ?????????? ????????? ?????????? ????????? ????????? ????????? ?????????? ?????????? ?????????? ??In?? Compatriot groups living in Shanghai, Ningbo, Beijing and Tianjin also called in support. The provincial governor at that time was Nie Xianfan, who did not dare to convene the provincial assembly for fear of conflict with Ni Sichong and resign.
Ni’s nephew Ni Daoxang used a huge sum of 400,000 yuan to bribe Premier Jin Yunpeng to appoint Li Zhaozhen as the governor of Anhui. Because Li Zhaozhen was Ni Sichong's staff and Ni Daoxang's teacher.
As the news spread, the whole city of Anqing went on strike to reject Li, which soon spread to the entire province. Li Zhaozhen hid in the provincial department for eight days, but felt that he could not stay any longer, so he announced that he would never stay and left. After Li Zhaozhen was expelled, the Anhui Association in Beijing put forward the slogan "Anhui people govern Anhui" and proposed that Xu Shiying be appointed as the governor of Anhui. The Beijing government adopted this opinion.
Xu Shiying returned to Anhui as governor at the end of October 1921. He first announced that the qualifications of members of the third provincial assembly were subject to legal resolution, and at the same time claimed that civil affairs, finance, and maintenance of education funds should be made public. In Anhui at that time, the warlord forces were deeply entangled. If you did not want to join forces with them, you would be in trouble everywhere and it would be difficult to move forward.
Although Xu Shiying’s statement was welcomed by people from all walks of life, the bribery members were panicking and gathered in Anqing to attack first. They forced the new Chief of Government Affairs Wang Huaichen to convene the provincial assembly, and Wang Huaichen was forced to resign. Then they bribed the elected members and announced on their own that the third Provincial Congress would be convened on January 19, 1922.
Xu Shiying responded tit for tat and posted an announcement in the name of the provincial governor, explicitly prohibiting it. The elected members ignored the bribery and held the meeting as scheduled at 3 pm that day. The provincial government sent the police chief to stop it. The members who were bribed to elect did not accept the persuasion and privately recommended the interim chairman, speaker and deputy speaker. Xu Shiying also issued a notice declaring that "such free assembly is invalid" and sent a telegram to the President of the Beijing Government, the State Council, the Ministry of Interior, and the Ministry of Justice.
???????????????????????????????????????????? The two sides refused to give in, and each sent people to Beijing, Tianjin and other places for activities. In an instant, Anhui's political tides were rising one after another, and the storm was raging.
Xu Shiying offended the remnants of warlords and the minions of hungry eagles and tigers in various counties because of his simultaneous rectification of officialdom. Voices of criticism and slander came from all directions. In Anqing City, printed materials that maliciously slander Xu Shiying can be seen everywhere.
Faced with this situation, Xu Shiying responded calmly. On the one hand, he took the opportunity of announcing the relief situation to refute social rumors and false accusations; on the other hand, he continued to promote the anti-bribery movement to expand day by day. From the winter of 1921 to the spring of 1922, several court decisions were made. The qualifications for the third term of parliament in Wuwei, Tongcheng, Susong, Shucheng, Guangde and other places are invalid.
At this time, those who bribed elected members fled the wall and went to Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Ningxia, Han and other places to stir up trouble and do everything possible to embarrass Xu Shiying.
Another tricky thing?? is to implement the major decision of disarmament.
In February 1922, the Washington Conference, following the Hague Conference, advocated the disarmament of all countries and also called on China to disarm. Zhang Hanqing, who was far away in Wuchang, was the first to abolish a governor and announced his resignation from his post as patrol envoy to Shaanxi and Gansu and governor of Gansu.
Then Han Linchun also sent a message to resign as governor of Shaanxi. Zhang Zuolin, Sun Liechen, and Wu Junsheng also announced their resignations from their respective positions as military governors.
By this time, all provinces under the Feng Clan had reached civilian governance, and military personnel were under unified control under the headquarters of the People's Army, the Feng Army outside the Pass, the Northeast Frontier Defense Army, and the Northeast Route Guard Army. Completely abandoning the bad atmosphere of warlords and soldiers intervening in politics in the early Republic of China - what Zhang Zuolin and his son wanted was the "big government" of the country, and the disadvantages of causing trouble in local areas certainly could not occur under their rule.
??Moreover, soldiers do not interfere in politics, and equipment and military pay are uniformly distributed by the headquarters. The princes do not have enough strength to form their own system, which indirectly prevents them from supporting troops and self-respect. It is really a clever plan to control the army, and Zhang Zuolin spared no effort to implement it.
Various provinces have also raised slogans to abolish the governor: Shanxi Governor Yan Xishan also complied with public opinion and changed the governor to military affairs supervisor. The governors of the provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Fujian, and Zhejiang were changed to military governors. Although the soup was changed without changing the medicine, it also showed that warlord rule was unpopular.
In this climate, the abolition of superintendents and the reduction of troops have become the center of public opinion in Anhui Province.
At that time, Anhui’s army was the legacy of Ni Sichong and Zhang Xun, and the entire province became dominated by Ni Sichong’s old-style patrol camps. After Ni Sizhong was named General Anwu by Yuan Shikai, the army was also renamed Anwu Army; the Xuzhou garrison headquarters of Zhang Xundingwu Army was also stationed in northern Anhui. After Zhang Xun's restoration failed, the Dingwu Army led by Zhang Wensheng, the garrison envoy of Xuzhou, came under the control of Ni Sichong and was renamed the Xin'an Wu Army.
There are 40 battalions (each battalion is said to have 10,000 soldiers) in the New Military Army, and there are five mixed brigades in the Old Anwu Army. At that time, Anhui Province had an annual income of more than 8 million, and its military expenditures were the largest, accounting for 3.8 million for the old army and 1.4 million for the new army. Anhui province is originally barren, and after disasters and droughts, the new and old debts totaled more than 4 million.
Xu Shiying believed that Anhui Province's finances were too large due to military expenditures, which led to the collapse of all industries. For this reason, he suggested that all the military expenditures of the new army should be borne by the Central | It shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of the State Council.
Anhui’s movement to abolish supervision and reduce troops has received full support from people from all walks of life inside and outside the province. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 542: Abolish the Supervisor and Reduce Troops (Part 2)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
On January 5, the Beijing government | Special commissioners are appointed to oversee troop disarmament matters. However, Zhang Wensheng used the excuse of complying with the president's urgent call to reduce troops and was temporarily unable to leave his post to buy time to incite the Xin'anwu Army to resist.
At this time, Zhang Hanqing, under the guise of following the orders of the Central Committee to mediate the disputes in Anhui Province and supervise the reduction of troops, led the 7th Division from Huanggang to Anhui Province with the commander-in-chief of the Central China People's Army Jian Yiqiao personally, and soon captured Wanzhong The important town of Anqing. Then the journey was smooth and we arrived at the provincial capital Hefei in a few days.
Zhang Wensheng had originally been associated with the Feng Faction. When he saw the young marshal arriving in person, he immediately announced that he agreed with the Feng People's Army and all the Xin'an Wujun were reorganized into the National Defense Force and dispatched by the Central Committee. Zhang Hanqing also reciprocated the favor, praising Zhang Wensheng for "caring about the overall situation of the country and not caring about personal honor and disgrace." He reported it to the Central Committee and reorganized the Xin'an Wujun Unit into the Anhui Security Forces, with Zhang Wensheng still as commander. From the New Year to the beginning of March, a total of 28 battalions of the Xin'an Wu Army were laid off, and 300,000 yuan was raised, achieving an initial victory in the movement to abolish supervision and reduce troops.
But what happened next was not smooth.
The resistance encountered by Xu Shiying in the anti-bribery campaign was already unbearable. The old Anwu Army Ma Lienjia was very disgusted with Xu Shiying's enthusiasm to continue to reduce troops. He reduced the number of employees and continued to create public opinion to criticize Xu Shiying and put pressure on Xu Shiying.
Under the circumstances at that time, civilian officials could not defeat military attachés. Xu Shiying had no choice but to submit her resignation to the Beijing government. After hearing the news, all walks of life in Anhui rallied to persuade her to stay. Zhang Hanqing issued a telegram in Wuchang to express his support for the movement, severely denounced the MLA's interference in politics, and ordered Zhang Wensheng and the People's Army to stand ready and use force as backup. Ji Yiqiao mobilized all the division's 75mm howitzers under the south gate of Hefei, and the war was about to break out.
With the strength of 5 mixed brigades, the Ma Lianjia could only draw a tie with the coalition forces of Jian Yiqiao and Zhang Wensheng, but they could not maintain the strength of the continuous flow of reinforcements from the People's Army. The reason why he dared to use force was inseparable from the support Wu Peifu secretly promised.
The center of the vortex of heated discussions about "abolition of supervisory control and reduction of troops" is Zhili. The growth of the People's Army in the Yangtze River provinces, especially the gradual replacement of the Zhili's agent status in the British and American countries, made Wu Peifu feel that the situation was deteriorating for him. If the People's Army captures Anhui again, the Zhili clique will be strategically surrounded by the Feng clique.
Zhang Hanqing's "boiling a frog in warm water" trick successfully deceived Cao Kun, the immediate boss, but failed to deceive the resourceful Wu Peifu. Rather than face a more unfavorable situation later, it is better to take risks.
Of course, it is unwise to directly oppose the People's Army: in terms of time, Zhang Hanqing grasps the trend of history and takes the lead in every historical change. In terms of people and people, the Feng Clan and the People's Army are full of talents, and they have recruited talents from all walks of life for their use, which is unmatched by the Zhih Clan. The only feasible thing is the geographical advantage: Zhili occupies the two major provinces of Henan and Hebei, and has the convenient transportation line Beijing-Hankou Railway to the north and south. To the west is Shanxi Yan Xishan, who is isolated in a corner and strives to protect itself, and to the east is the weak Shandong and Northern Anhui.
If the Zhili Clique wants to not fall behind in the future competition, it is imperative to develop eastward. Therefore, Wu Peifu secretly ordered Feng Yuxiang, the governor of Henan, Hubei and Anhui, to send troops out of Macheng in the name of stabilizing the situation in Anhui Province, and rushed to Hefei with Jian Yiqiao one after another.
However, Feng Zhi knew that he was no match for Zhang Hanqing and had already made up a clever plan to occupy the territory for development. In his opinion, the battle between Zhifeng and Feng was coming to an end, and his benefits from following Wu Peifu were not much reduced. Instead, he did not have a decent piece of territory. Xinyang is a key place for disputes on the Beijing-Hankow Railway. If a war breaks out, he will be caught in it, which will inevitably affect Chiyu. Zhang Hanqing obviously wants to take charge of the southeast, and he should have no intention of getting involved in the northwest of Anhui in the short term. As an envoy to protect the Hubei-Henan-Anhui border, he had legal basis for placing the main force in northwest Anhui.
At this time, he used part of Li Mingzhong's brigade to defend Suizhou, and the main force retreated to Xixian County on the north bank of the Huaihe River east of Xinyang to avoid possible attacks. The first regiment of Zhang Zhijiang's brigade occupied and stationed in Lu'an City, west of Hefei, while the other regiment, Sun Liangcheng, led his troops to guard Fuyang. He led the guard regiment to station in Huainan, and led Zhang Shu's cavalry regiment into Bengbu, making up his mind to watch the wind direction in northwest Anhui.
The leader of Jiu'an Wujun, Ma Lianjia, had no support, and Zhang Hanqing's People's Army was watching eagerly. The arrogance suddenly became much less arrogant, and the reforms of provincial governor Xu Shiying were able to continue. Soon after, striking while the iron was hot, several major decisions were made:
1. An anti-smoking order was drafted to strictly prohibit the trafficking of red and white pills (morphine, heroin), and the 60 county governors and anti-smoking committee members were required to “resolutely investigate and eradicate their crimes, and report them once every five days. Once verified, they will be dismissed and punished respectively.” loan".
2. Pay attention to education and develop the legal college into an safe and secure university.School of Political Science and Law, and selected a group of students such as Shi Shangkuan, Fang Xikong, Chen Fangxian, Yang Xiangong, Zhang Guowei, Tang Zhixian, Gao Yuhan, Zhang Bojun, etc. to study abroad. Later, these people became famous people.
3. Promote industry, pay attention to people's livelihood, and benefit the country. Handled emergency relief and distributed 430,000 yuan in silver dollars, planned to set up an Anhui Bank, and built the first highway in Anhui (i.e. Anqing-Huaining Highway).
4. Promote diligent administration, love the people, and serve the people with integrity, and issue instructions to the governors of 3 provinces and 60 counties in the province to rectify the administration of officials.
Not to be outdone, the Ma League One side said: If it is impossible to resist with force, then it will resist legally. On April 11, Hu Jingbo, a congressman who was bribed to vote, and others incited more than a hundred people who did not know the truth to break into the provincial office at three o'clock in the afternoon, demanding an audience with the governor, and caused arbitrarily nuisance. They insulted the guards at all times and were beaten when they politely stopped them.
After hearing the news, the National Police Department sent security teams to arrest more than 30 people. Xu Shiying immediately posted a notice and sent another telegram to Xu Shichang, saying, "I have thought twice. Over the past year, I have sacrificed all my personal spiritual wealth, and now I have to sacrifice my life to support it to the end in order to keep the Anhui incident in case. In my case, Shiying will never resign before the President issues an explicit order to remove him from office, and success or failure will not matter."
This incident prompted Xu Shiying's attitude to change from soft to hard. At the end of the month, he called the Ministry of Internal Affairs and once again raised the issue of the qualifications of members of the third Anhui Parliament. Since the court ruled that it was invalid, should there be re-election?" The Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately replied: "According to Articles 27 and 28 of the Election Law, Their qualifications may be declared invalid and they shall be re-elected.”
Xu then re-established the election office within the provincial office. In late May, he issued an order to the governors of 60 counties in the province, announcing that August 1 this year would be the start date for the primary election district survey in 60 counties, and the electoral rolls would be reported on January 31 of the following year.
The fight against vote-buying finally won, and the "Public Welfare Maintenance Committee" originally controlled by the Ni Party disappeared in Anhui.
When Xu Shiying took charge of Anhui, there were two things that people still talk about: First, he expressed his gratitude to his mother for her birthday. In his announcement, he said: " Shiying served his hometown but was ineffective, and the people's livelihood was haggard, so how dare he When saying longevity, be sure to thank relatives and friends politely, and don't do it as a gesture of greeting. The Yan family laments that the birthday will not be held"
The second is parting advice to the governors of 3 Daoyin and 60 counties in the province. He wrote in the instruction: "Governors are officials who are close to the people. Those who are close to the people will not be alienated from the people; those who are close to the people will not be far away from the people." … The governor of the province has even more solemnly warned that if the governors want me to stay in the countryside, they must first ensure that the staff and judges used in the office are clean and dedicated to their duties, and then they can do their work with peace of mind." A few words express the heart of benefiting Sangzi.
Zhang Hanqing expressed his personal respect for this good public servant who devoted himself to the people. He clearly expressed his firm support for Anhui Province’s troop reduction measures.
In the telegram on April 18, he said: "Wan Province is not wealthy. Since the Xin'an Wu Army has been reorganized, the old Anwu Army should be cut down accordingly, and the remaining funds should be used to revitalize the industrial and commercial economy of Hui Province. This commander should follow the country's clear orders and be considerate. The poverty in Anhui Province requires regular reductions. If they still persist in their stubbornness, Xueliang should lead the righteous army to visit the area in person and force them to submit, so as to restore the legal system and demonstrate the authority of the central government to the world."
At this moment, Zhang Hanqing seemed to regard himself as the orthodox leader of the Central Committee, completely forgetting that he had entered Anhui with an unfair reputation. However, political power comes from the barrel of a gun. If he uses the name of the Central Committee, the Beijing government will clearly recognize it "in accordance with customary practice."
Under the attack of the People's Army and the Xin'anwu Army, the Ma League had no choice but to draw up a "huge plan" to disarmament one mixed brigade for six months. Zhang Hanqing's eyes have now turned to the fertile plains of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Regardless of whether the Ma Lianjia will comply or not, his People's Army is determined to capture Anhui, thus opening a path for Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
Therefore, after receiving the plan, Zhang Hanqing "went into a rage, electrified the whole country to crusade against the Ma Lianjia, and swore: 'Down with the Anwu Army and capture the Ma Lianjia alive'!" Zhang Hanqing personally served as the commander-in-chief of the "Anhui Crusade Army" and led the people of Central China The Army's 9th Division, Jin Yun'e's Mixed Brigade, and Wang Duqing's Mixed Brigade supported Ji Yiqiao on both land and water.
The reason why the Jin and Wang brigades were brought along was to completely cut off their inextricable ties with Hubei and get them to sit on the People's Army chariot. Zhang Hanqing even tightened his grip on logistics, equipment, and military pay. The two were already weak and had no choice but to follow him into the war. In this way, the pressure on the Central China Military Region of the People's Army, which had insufficient military strength, was suddenly relieved, and Zhang Hanqing would not be threatened by these unsafe forces after Zhang Hanqing's southern expedition soon.
Under strong military and public pressure, the Ma Lianjia was forced to power down the field, and Ji Yiqiao effortlessly brought its five mixed brigades under his command. At this time, Zhang Hanqing's army was still about 300 miles away from the provincial capital. He already had the important task of collecting Jiangxi. Of course, he would not exhaust the army. He only ordered the main force to repair and sent one part to Hefei City to strengthen his momentum.
Zhang Hanqing announced that in order to consider the burden on the people of Anhui, the costs of the People's Army troops stationed in Anhui will not be borne by Anhui. All walks of life in Anhui are very grateful for the People's Army's help in times of need, and they also respond positively to the People's Party's policies.
With Zhang Hanqing's political and military support, Xu Shiying was finally able to express his ambitions. Therefore, he also tried to understand the policies of the People's Party and constantly used them for reference in his governance. This made Anhui Province a few provinces controlled by the People's Army. The Central Committee did the best to implement the Kuomintang's intentions, but this was unexpected by Zhang Hanqing, who only used Anhui as a bridgehead for military offensives. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)I have a very strong sense of gratitude for the People's Army's help in times of need, and a positive response to the People's Party's policies.

By this time, Feng Yuxiang had been serving as the Hubei-Henan-Anhui border protection envoy for some time.
He has not been going well in the past few years. Ever since his uncle Lu Jianzhang was killed, he has not had a fixed nest: first he was sent to Shaanxi. He originally wanted to use this place to lay an egg, but unfortunately he became a victim in the conflict between Zhizhi and Fengzhi; Is it okay to be forced to retreat to Nanyang? But Nanyang is Wu Peifu’s territory. It’s difficult to dig into his soil!
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing gave him the lowest chance. When he arrived at the border of the three provinces, which had no regard for the boundaries, he fully expected to live here and have a place in this chaotic Republic of China. Unexpectedly, before his buttocks got hot, Anhui changed hands again. .
Based on Zhang Hanqing’s ambition (which Feng Yuxiang did not doubt at first), this was by no means his ultimate goal. Moreover, Hubei and Anhui were already connected by the People’s Army, and he who was caught between them would sooner or later be targeted by the People’s Army. If it were him, he would think the same way.
Zhang Hanqing wants to use troops against Feng Yuxiang, but his troops are all surrendered. It is okay to deal with local troops. It will be a tough battle against Feng Yuxiang, who is known as the "Thirteen Taibao".
The generals were very worried, and Ji Yiqiao said: "Young Marshal wants to use troops against Feng Yuxiang, but I don't think it's appropriate now. Although his troops are small, there are tens of thousands of them, reaching a division. Moreover, Feng has been fighting abroad for a long time, and his experience is more Some of our troops are much stronger. It’s true that we have more people, but most of them are just attached. We can fight smoothly. If we really can’t hold on for a long time, or if something unexpected happens, I’m worried about the advantage we finally gained. The situation will be ruined!"
Zhang Hanqing smiled. Feng Yuxiang's mixed brigade was famous for its ability to fight, and he did not want to use one of his divisions to fight him. However, in order to completely connect Anhui and Hubei, Feng Yuxiang had to leave.
He said to a group of generals: "I just want to drive him away, and I don't really want to fight with him. We don't want to fight him, so why does Feng Yuxiang want to fight us? My target is how many of his men Generals, they are rare talents! My idea is that if the army is close to them, it will have the opportunity to pull some people over."
But will Feng Yuxiang give up? Some KPA generals inevitably have this concern. Not afraid, but worried that it would slow down the march of the People's Army. Northwest and central China are connected as one, and victory is ahead. We cannot lose care of Jingzhou at this time.
Zhang Hanqing disagreed with his subordinates' concerns. When did Feng Yuxiang become so powerful in their hearts? I remember that I had never really fought against him! Lao Feng was also a straight-tempered man in history, and he was never Chiang Kai-shek's opponent for his scheming. He suddenly remembered Feng Yuxiang's interesting story. In order to dispel their fear of Feng Yuxiang, he smiled slightly and said, "Feng Yuxiang, are you afraid of him?"
Several people nodded and said, "His men are really powerful." Some said, "His soldiers are not afraid of death in battle." Some said, "His military discipline is better than ours." The speaker was If the commanders of the newly formed Central China Army were officers of the Northwest People's Army, they probably wouldn't say this.
Zhang Hanqing said: "But do you know how Feng Yuxiang controls them?"
The natural answer is I don’t know. But the name of the shadow man of the tree does not depend on his will. To be able to bring out such good soldiers and generals, the method must be very subtle and worth learning.
Zhang Hanqing rarely told stories to them: "Although Feng Yuxiang didn't know much about literacy, he still had a few tricks up his sleeve, but he seemed a bit naive. Once when he was checking military pay, he thought that one of the sums was someone else's fake signature, so he called the person involved. Come to confront him. The man gritted his teeth and claimed that it was indeed signed by Feng Yuxiang, but he had forgotten it. Because the handwriting was similar, others could not tell whether it was the general's own handwriting."
Zhang Hanqing smiled: "Feng Yuxiang took a note signed by him and compared it with this one. But others couldn't see any difference: the fonts were all the same."
"What should we do in the end?" They are all leaders. This is something that can happen to anyone, and they are also very curious.
Zhang Hanqing revealed the mystery: "Feng Yuxiang pointed to a small hole in the middle of the back of another piece of paper and said proudly: 'This is the hole that is different.' It turned out that in order to prevent others from imitating handwriting, he embedded a small hole in the middle of the brush. The needle will poke a hole in the paper when signing, which most people would never think of."
Everybody looked at each other and smiled, it turned out that even the rough and tumble man was sometimes clever. But those who were interested quickly thought: Even the young marshal knew about this, so this secretand the young marshal's methods
Zhang Hanqing was very interested: "One more thing is about how Feng Yuxiang boosted morale.
There was a battle, the enemy on the front line had artillery, and they fired up the crows on the hill.They were all startled, and his army was afraid. In order to calm the morale of the troops, he gathered them together and began to lecture: "Are there more cannons or more crows in the sky?" ’
The soldiers replied: "There are many crows." ’ Feng Yuxiang nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: ‘Did the crow fall on your head when it pooped? ’ All the soldiers answered in unison again: ‘No. ’
So, Feng Yuxiang told them: 'So, when the cannon fires bombs, the chance of hitting is even less, so there is no need to be afraid. ’ After hearing this, everyone was deceived and thought it made sense.
As the saying goes, ignorance is almost brave. When the whole army marched in the next day, the enemy artillery attacked. Everyone thought of Feng Yuxiang's lecture yesterday, so they acted very calmly and did not evade. As a result, they suffered heavy casualties, and their commander-in-chief was also bombed. die. Feng Yuxiang's original nonsense actually killed so many people. "
This was originally a true story on the battlefield in the Central Plains in history, but Zhang Hanqing turned airplanes into cannons - the number of cannons in this era was as small as the airplanes that appeared in the sky later, but the comedy effect was the same.
The generals of the People's Army all laughed, and their fear of Feng Yuxiang was greatly reduced. It turns out that Lao Feng is just like us, or even worse than us - at least we won't say such nonsense, right?
When the People's Army approached Feng Yuxiang's troops, he felt worried and sent a letter to Zhang Hanqing: "To Commander Zhang and Commander Ji of the People's Army: Your and our armies are intricately intertwined in southern Anhui, and there is a fear that an unexpected incident may occur that will affect the harmony between you and us." I will discuss with the Wu envoy to retreat the entire army to Nanyang."
Feng Yuxiang does not want to fight with the People's Army. The price is too high, and the People's Army is too powerful. The outcome of the fight is uncertain. He wanted to find an opportunity to sneak back to the direct territory: although his relationship with Wu Peifu was not good, Old Wu wouldn't force himself to surrender to the People's Army, right?
"Forcing Feng Yuxiang to a corner in southern Henan is not Zhang Hanqing's ultimate goal. What he is most interested in Feng Yuxiang is his five tiger generals and thirteen Taibao. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 544 Poaching Feng Yuxiang’s corner
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
There are different opinions on how the "Thirteen Taibao" came to be called "Thirteen Taibao" in the Northwest Army, but it is generally believed that it was around 1917 when Feng Yuxiang was appointed as the commander of the 16th Mixed Brigade of the Army and was stationed in Changde, Hunan Province as the garrison envoy of western Hunan.
At that time, Feng's department had four infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, and one cavalry and engineer battalion. Li Mingzhong is the commander of the first infantry regiment, Zhang Zhijiang is the commander of the second regiment, Zhang Shusheng is the commander of the third regiment, Zhang Weixi is the commander of the fourth regiment, Lu Zhonglin is the commander of the artillery regiment, and Liu Yufen is the chief of staff. All the officers of the 16th Mixed Brigade were Feng Yuxiang's cronies. This was the beginning of the formation of Feng Yuxiang's military group.
The so-called "Five Tiger Generals" are the five original regimental leaders including Song Zheyuan, Lu Zhonglin, Zhang Zhijiang, Liu Yufen, and Li Mingzhong. They have been with Feng Yuxiang for a long time and have great prestige in Feng's department. Because of his diligence and hard work, he gradually distinguished himself and served successively as a commander, battalion commander, and regiment commander, and his military talents were fully utilized.
During his tenure as the garrison envoy to western Hunan, while recruiting soldiers and recruiting cadres, he gradually squeezed out the people Lu Jianzhang had placed in the 16th Mixed Brigade. Most of the recruits he recruited according to the standards he set himself were tall, strong, simple in style, able to endure hardships and stand hard work, and were easy to accept organization and training.
He broke the old-fashioned habits of the general army at that time, created a unique training method, and trained a group of young officers who were good at fighting. Namely: Machine Gun Battalion Commander Han Duofeng, 1st Regiment 2nd Battalion Commander Sun Liangcheng, 3rd Regiment 1st Battalion Commander Han Fuju, 3rd Regiment 2nd Battalion Commander Shi Yousan, 3rd Regiment 3rd Battalion Commander Zhao Xipin, 4th Regiment 1st Battalion Commander. Liu Ruming, Tong Linge, commander of the second battalion of the fourth regiment, and Sun Lianzhong, commander of the artillery battalion, and the rest are also battalion-level officers.
These battalion-level officers are especially trusted and relied upon by Feng. The officers and soldiers of the Feng Department were envious, so they adapted the story of Li Keyong doting on the Thirteen Taibao in the Peking Opera "Pearl Curtain Village", and included Sun Liangcheng, Sun Lianzhong, Han Fuju, Han Duofeng, Tong Linge, Liu Ruming, Shi Yousan, Zhang Weixi, Cheng Xixian, Thirteen officers including Guo Zhigang, Wen Chenglie, Ge Jinzhang, and Zhao Xipin are also called the "Thirteen Taibao". The connotation of this name is both playful and ironic.
"Taibao" is originally the name of an official position in ancient my country, and it is an official who assists the prince. The so-called Taibao in the Northwest Army is obviously a metaphor.
In terms of age, most of Feng Yuxiang's 13 " Taibao " were born around 1890 and were younger than Feng Yuxiang. In terms of place of origin, they are all from the north (north of the Huaihe River). For example, Shi Yousan is from Jilin Province, Guo Zhigang is from Mengcheng, Anhui Province, Han Fuju is from Hebei, and Han Duofeng is from Shandong. I call them all. For northerners. In fact, most of the members of Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army were also from the north.
The reason why the "Thirteen Taibao" of the Northwest Army gained Feng's trust and reliance was that, in addition to the fact that these people inherited the tradition of the Northwest Army and could endure hardships, there were two main reasons. One was that they were brave and good at fighting; a certain cultural level. Frankly speaking, in official history, Feng Yuxiang's "Northwestern Army" has the strongest combat effectiveness among the armies of various warlords.
But the truly large-scale "Northwestern Army" was gradually formed after the "Beijing Coup" and Feng became the commander of the National Revolutionary Army and monopolized the northwest. At this time, the Feng faction's forces had no room for development and were far from reaching that scale.
Among these generals, the ones Zhang Hanqing is most familiar with are Song Zheyuan, Tong Linge, Zhang Weixi, and Han Fuju. At this time of sudden change, Zhang Hanqing decided to start with Zhang Weixi. At this time, he was stationed in Lu'an and was catching up with the leading troops of the People's Army.
Zhang Weixi had studied for several years when he was a child. After joining the army, he was diligent and studious, and he was well-read in military literature. He was known as the "Confucian General" in the Northwest Army.
Not only is he eager to learn, he also organizes reading groups for his officers at any time and personally urges them to study culture and study martial arts books. When Zhang Weixi was the battalion commander, Feng Yuxiang commissioned him to compile a "Sergeant's Service Book" as a standard guideline for the responsibilities and tasks of the squad leader in peacetime and war.
This is because Zhang Weixi was a student soldier and had rich practical experience in sergeant service. Therefore, this book was well written and was highly praised by Feng Yuxiang. He printed and distributed this book to every sergeant in the army and regarded it as a guide. Zhang Weixi worked too hard to write this book, which affected his eyesight and became myopic.
At that time, in the 16th Mixed Brigade under Mr. Feng’s command, from the brigade commander down to the cooks, not a single person in the entire brigade wore glasses. When Zhang Weixi asked Feng Yuxiang for instructions on how to make glasses, Feng once asked him how far he could see without wearing glasses. He replied that he could see five or six meters. From then on, the army gave him two nicknames: "Liu Mi Da" and "Blind Zhang".
Zhang Weixi is good at military training. He is unique in military training. Among his colleagues in the Northwest Army, there are few who can surpass him. During each year-end review, Zhang Weixi ranks among the best in all disciplines, skills, playgrounds, outdoor areas, internal affairs, health, military discipline, and social discipline.
Such a talented person was not tolerated by Feng Yuxiang. According to information from the "Fengqi Bureau", the reasons are as follows:
In the spring of 1921, Feng Yuxiang learned that Wang Zhanyuan, the governor of Hubei Province with whom he had a long-standing feud, would take the Jinghan Road train from Wuhan to Beijing for a business trip. He convened a secret discussion with military officers above the battalion commander level, detained Wang Zhanyuan when he passed by Xinyang Station, and threatened him. He paid off half a year's arrears of food and wages for the entire brigade.
Since Zhang Weixi and Wang Zhanyuan were both from the same hometown in Guantao County, Zhang Weixi secretly revealed this secret plan to Wang Zhanyuan. Wang Zhanyuan then changed his route and took a boat to Nanjing, then took the Jinpu Road train heading north. Regarding Wang Zhanyuan's sudden change of course, Feng Yuxiang concluded that someone had leaked the secret. After various investigations, he found out that it was Zhang Weixi who had done it.
"But because it was inconvenient to publicize the matter, and because the army was about to leave, Zhang Weixi was the commander of the regiment, and he was a brave and knowledgeable general. At that time, Feng Yuxiang held back. When Xiao Yaonan seized the train to transport troops from Xinyang to Hubei Province, Zhang Weixi knew that Feng Yuxiang did not dare to openly oppose Wu Peifu, so he ordered not to stop him while stationed at the station.
So Feng calculated his old and new accounts together, and used this reason to remove Zhang Weixi from his position as regimental commander and transfer him to the director of the division's repair department. This was a kind of demotion. Zhang Hanqing took advantage of this and sent Yu Xuezhong to meet Zhang Weixi at night to persuade him to surrender.
Yu Xuezhong had an acquaintance with Zhang Weixi in Wuhan. At that time, he was just a battalion commander. In less than two years, he became regimental commander and brigade commander. Now he is the acting commander of the 8th Division with 15,000 people. Now that he is a major general, it is estimated that the third star will make his star shine even brighter before long. The two had cherished each other many years ago, and when they met now, they felt deeply sad.
Zhang Weixi is still waiting for Feng Yuxiang to call him back again: the officers and soldiers trained by Feng, especially the officers, will not be allowed to go away easily. If someone makes a mistake and is dismissed or demoted, he can still be restored to his original position and grade after a period of time, and his promotion will not be affected.
But he was very moved when Yu Xuezhong brought Zhang Hanqing's praise for him. Zhang Hanqing promised: As long as Zhang Weixi is willing to join the People's Army, he will immediately be promoted to the rank of major general and brigade commander. With the example of Yu Xuezhong, Zhang Weixi couldn't help but feel moved. Zhang Hanqing has a reputation for knowing people well and taking charge of them, and the current power of the People's Army has the potential to sweep the world. Needless to say, he is still a star.
Feng Yuxiang was born a commoner, so he was able to get close to the lower class and share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, thus gaining the support of his subordinates. However, Feng's method of leading troops was feudal and paternalistic. Even senior officers above division commanders were treated like children. Han Fuju was beaten in front of the soldiers after he became a division commander. 40 military sticks, no mercy.
This method of leading troops, coupled with other factors, led to the betrayal of Feng's officers one after another. Zhang Weixi was also slapped in public, and she was very dissatisfied with Feng Yuxiang's discipline deep in her memory.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Instead of just being a defeated general under Feng Yuxiang's tent, how to start anew and open up a new world? So on a dark night of a month high, Zhang Weixi defected to Zhang Hanqing.
The arrival of Zhang Weixi made Zhang Hanqing very happy. He said excitedly to Zhang Weixi: "You are here, and there is an extra strong general in the People's Army." But in his heart, what interested him most was the unknown and ordinary man at this time. Zhang Zizhong, who later became a famous anti-Japanese general and national hero in history, was also the highest general who sacrificed his life for the Allied Powers in World War II.
Zhang Zizhong is resolute and taciturn, but has a high talent for leading troops. Three months after he took office as company commander, his second company won first place in the military assessment of all companies in the brigade and became a "model company" of the 16th mixed brigade.
The Model Company was Feng Yuxiang’s model for running the army. Zhang Zizhong worked even harder after receiving this honor. Almost all of the 126 soldiers in the company who he trained later became talented, including ten corps commanders and division commanders, and even more brigade commanders and regiment commanders. From this time on, Zhang Zizhong's emphasis on military discipline and his strict style of running the army have become very prominent. When he encountered those who violated military discipline, he first persuaded and educated them, then severely reprimanded them, and served them with military sticks. As the soldiers sang in the song: "If you don't learn well, you will be hit with a duck-billed military stick."
Later, because Zhang Zizhong often said a catchphrase to officers and soldiers who violated military discipline: "See, I can't skin you!" Therefore, he was nicknamed "Zhang Skin" by the officers and soldiers, and everyone in the army knew it. A jingle goes: "Shi Yousan's whip, Han Fuju's rope, Liang Guanying's shoulder pole is like a dragon, Zhang Zizhong's skinning is so ruthless!"
The nickname "Zhang Papi" makes people mistakenly think that this man is a ruthless, rough and arrogant warrior, but this is not the case. Zhang Zizhong loved his soldiers as much as his son, and he was strict in his kindness. He knew the meaning of "governing the military first and governing the heart" and the wonderful use of "the combination of kindness and power". Taking the use of military sticks as an example, Zhang Zizhong did not hit him as soon as he encountered it or use sticks and sticks indiscriminately, but implemented the "eight no beatings", that is: no beating when he is sick, no beating when he is angry, no beating in the summer, and no beating before meals. Don't fight if you are not favored, don't fight if you are punished, don't fight if you have strengthened your troops, and don't fight if you don't know.
It can be seen that Zhang Zizhong was very particular about how to use the military stick.
How can we recruit such a talent? Using money and reputation to seduce this upright young officer will undoubtedly not work. If it is feasible, Zhang Hanqing might express doubts about his ability to read people.

Zhang Zizhong has been influenced by the old learning since he was sensible. The influence of his father and the education at school are all the same as the Tao of Confucius and Mencius. Therefore, the old morals emphasizing loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness have been deeply rooted in Zhang Zizhong's heart since he was a child. Taking root.
After studying, Zhang Zizhong often borrowed some novels to read for fun. His favorites are "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Shuo Tang" and "Shuo Yue Jingzhong Biography". These classic masterpieces provided vivid annotations to traditional morals. The loyalty, chivalry and heroic spirit of Guan Yunchang, Yue Wumu and Qin Shubao made him fascinated and sincerely admired them. When he was promoted from battalion commander to regiment commander, he could only barely serve as a battalion commander with his talent and experience and wrote a letter to resign. Using his status to lure him would only make him choke.
In this case, it may be a wise move to directly persuade them to submit to the army based on national justice, stop the civil war and resist foreign aggression. Zhang Zizhong was the battalion commander of the third battalion of Feng Yuxiang's Guard Regiment at this time and was ordered to station in Changfeng County. The reason why guards were sent to guard the border was because his stall was too big and there was no manpower to take care of it.
Zhang Zizhong was also very dissatisfied with the Zhizhi Army's obstruction of reunification for its own selfish interests. He also criticized Feng Yuxiang for only pursuing his own petty calculations. He also has deep respect for the young commander of the Fengjun Army in the south (he has always considered the People's Army to be part of the Fengjun Army).
The young marshal changed the legendary dandy style of the Republic of China and established the People's Party, which has gained considerable momentum recently, through the effective "Liaoning Economic Reform". He completed Anmeng, Pinggan, entered Shaanxi, captured Hubei, and seized Anhui silk threads in one go, showing that Their outstanding military and political capabilities and strategic views are not yet up to the level of those of Wu Peifu and Feng Yuxiang.
It can also be seen from the song "Qingpingle? Liupanshan" written by Zhang Hanqing "accidentally" that Zhang Hanqing's pictures are not small, as the saying goes, words are the voice of the heart. The recent "Phoenix Nirvana" even more vividly expressed his love for the country and the nation.
He was conflicted and grateful for the young marshal's personal letter to recruit him: he was just a battalion commander. Zhang Hanqing had countless strong generals under his command, but he could actually take a fancy to himself, who was unknown to him, and even praised himself as "a good general of the country". He suddenly felt a sense of wonder. A kind of kindness. However, I have served under Feng Yuxiang for many years and I have a lot of affection. Since ancient times, I have been loyal to both masters. How can I abandon Master Feng at this moment?
Zhang Hanqing seemed to understand his intentions, and said sincerely at the end of the letter: "I know that brother Xin Chen (Zhang Zizhong's nickname) is extremely loyal and righteous, but loyalty to the country is called loyalty, and loyalty to an individual is called righteousness. The People's Army is to unify the country and become strong The nation has taken its own responsibility, and it is in urgent need of talents like my brother to assist. I hope that my brother will put the national righteousness first and sacrifice small righteousness in exchange for national rejuvenation. China will be very lucky and the people will be very lucky!"
After much thought, Zhang Zizhong decided to join the People's Army.
But he was a man of integrity. After he decided to leave, he sorted out all the items that Feng Yuxiang had been rewarded by and put them in the room. He also checked the logistics accounts of the whole camp in detail, and then signed and stamped them to show his responsibility.
The letter left to Feng Yuxiang before leaving said: "General Feng respectfully says: Xin Chen has been with the division commander for more than 4 years. Every time he thinks about serving the country, he always regrets it. Since the founding of the Republic of China, warlords have fought in chaos, and the people have been in dire straits. Marshal Zhang Hanqing He has taken it upon himself to unify the country and revitalize the nation, and he has always been admired by Xin Chen. Now he will abandon the king and run to another place, but because he is in a hurry, he cannot express his words in person. I hope that the general will take national affairs as his priority and understand Xin Chen's painstaking efforts. I Hearing that a gentleman has broken up, he never utters a bad word. His parting words are words from the bottom of his heart."
Zhang Hanqing was extremely happy when two generals, Zhang Weixi and Zhang Zizhong, joined him. He also kept his word and arranged for Zhang Weixi to serve as acting brigade commander of the 1st Brigade of Yu Xuezhong's 8th Division, and Zhang Zizhong as senior staff officer of the headquarters and deputy head of the officer training group (with a military rank promoted to colonel).
His trust in Er Zhang was extraordinary. In addition to recommending Zhang Weixi to study in the strategic command class in the future, he also said to Zhang Zizhong: "If Brother Xin Chen hadn't been so junior, I would have made Xin Chen the chief political officer of the Central China Command. Director of the Department, I would like to ask you to take over the political training of our army now."
Affected by it, Tong Linge also came to the young commander's account and was also reused. Following suit, the non-commissioned officers of the Feng Department lost more than a dozen cadres one after another, and some even defected overnight along with all the troops under their jurisdiction.
Feng Yuxiang was frightened of Zhang Hanqing. Several of his tiger generals left one after another, which had a huge impact on the stability and morale of his troops. Like a furious lion, he locked himself in his room and roared all day.
However, in order to prevent greater losses, he still voluntarily gave up the territory south of the Huaihe River, and all the troops in northern Anhui were concentrated in several large cities to effectively avoid the loss of personnel.
There is no way, who made the power of the North and South factions too disproportionate to themselves? Not to mention that there are 20 editors in total, just the wealth alone makes people lose the idea of ????competing for superiority. During this period, there was a lot of news coming from the Feng clan.??.
Last year, Zhang Zuolin purchased 300 sets of machinery for making field artillery and bombs from Denmark, spending a total of 3 million yuan without blinking an eye. At the beginning of this year, he purchased a batch of second-hand weapons at a low price from the defeated "Czech Corps" in the Far East, including 30,000 rifles at 13 yuan each. It is said that they were allocated to security forces and armed police forces in various places; some time ago, he again Purchase 100 armored vehicles from Americans for 20,000 yuan each.
He has never seen what an armored vehicle is, but it is said that those second-hand weapons were bought directly from soldiers. "Made in the Czech Republic" is a high-quality weapon for the Republic of China army, but it is only used to equip second-rate troops. It is really infuriating that people are more popular than others!
At this time, the People's Army faced an extremely favorable situation: on its way forward, there was no force to resist. Hefei, the largest city in Anhui, was like an infatuated girl waiting for her lover with open arms. To be gentle. For Zhang Hanqing, who was determined to unify China, if he had slowed down a little, he would not be Zhang Hanqing, and he would not have put so much effort into entering Anhui.
The leading troops of the People's Army reinforcements entered Hefei four days later. The people of Anhui warmly welcomed the arrival of the People's Army. I have long heard that the People's Army was the army with the best military discipline in China in the early years of the Republic of China. It is better to be famous than to meet, and to meet is worse than to be famous. When the People's Army marched into the city with neat military uniforms and loud military songs, warm applause broke out everywhere.
The People’s Army is also very competitive. The political departments at all levels have fully implemented the requirements of the General Political Department of the People’s Army and will not take any benefits or do anything bad that affects the reputation of the People’s Army. On this basis, the famous "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" of the People's Army were later formed: all actions must be followed as commanded; no one should take advantage of the masses; all seizures must be returned to the public. Speak kindly, trade fairly, pay back what you borrow, compensate for damage, do not beat or curse people, do not damage crops, do not molest women, and do not abuse captives.
When Zhao Yanzong, a big businessman in Hefei, opened his window in the early morning, he was surprised to find people's army soldiers lying neatly on both sides of Yanhuang Avenue under his building. No people were disturbed all night long. This was unprecedented for all warlords in the Republic of China. I couldn't help but shout from the bottom of my heart: "Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world, and the People's Army is not far away from winning the world!"

After receiving the strength of the 5 mixed brigades of the old Anwu Army, Zhang Hanqing's strength in Anhui now includes 2 divisions and 7 mixed brigades. This strength is enough to deal with Qi Xieyuan of Jiangsu.
As long as Qi Xieyuan is dealt with, not only can Wu Peifu be completely surrounded, but also the situation in the south can be opened up by relying on the rich conditions of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. This is the north-south pincer attack plan that he has been pursuing diligently.
The Zhili clique is deeply rooted, and Wu Peifu is courageous, resourceful and cautious, and is deeply respected within the Zhili clique. If you fight him directly, although you are not afraid of him, it will still be a tough battle. The Chinese nation has been fighting among itself for a long time, and it is Zhang Hanqing's merit that he can retain some vitality. As long as possible, he still wants to use the warm water effect to gradually pull out the direct peripheral forces, and it is best to be able to defeat the enemy without a fight in the end.
Wu Peifu was a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, and he served as deputy envoy to Lu and Henan. His military achievements were that his troops, except for the Northwest People's Army, had the best military discipline and morale in the country, and the strongest combat effectiveness.
When he was in charge of Henan, he also showed his ability as a statesman. Among the official documents he has reviewed, there are three that have always been talked about:
The first thing is to refuse "an official". A certain "connected person" with a bad reputation wanted to seek an official position in Henan. Wu Peifu did not buy into the recommender's fault, nor did he use official language to get in the way. He refused solemnly on the grounds of the interests of the people. He spoke righteously and gave instructions: "Henan." What are the people to blame?”
The first thing is to refuse to "run for official position". A certain military officer learned that there was a vacancy for a brigade commander under Wu. The economic and political leaders introduced him and drafted a self-recommendation letter. He talked about his ideals and ambitions, and then got back to the business. Finally, he said, "I am willing to be a pioneer, successfully disarm, retire to my hometown, plant trees, and be blessed." "Sangzi" and so on. Wu Peifu knew this man's ability well and said with a stroke of his pen: "Let's plant trees first."
One thing is to reject "female sex". At that time, the daughter of the German Minister to China was in her prime. She admired Wu Peifu infinitely and missed him so much that she wrote a letter to propose to him. Wu Peifu did not know German, so he asked his secretary to translate it and submit it, and the love letter became an official letter. Wu Peifu waved as usual: "My old wife is still here!"
His little deeds made his reputation within the Zhili clique far surpass that of Cao Kun. However, the most admirable thing is this: he insisted that Cao Kun, the Bole who recommended him, bear the false title of Zhili Luyu Patrol Envoy to show respect. He has made great contributions to the fact that the Zhili clique has been able to dominate the Beiyang government for many years. On many matters, as long as they were not related to the overall situation, he always followed Cao Kun's opinions.
And Cao Kun never doubted him, who was in a high position, which was also a great news of the year.
Destined to be a tycoon, Wu Peifu was unwilling to sit back and wait for death. When Zhang Hanqing entered Anhui, he launched a big move in the north.
April 3rd is Wu Peifu’s 50th birthday. In the name of celebrating his birthday, Wu Peifu invited more than 300 warlords from the five Zhili provinces of Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, and Jiangxi to gather in Luoyang and plan to form a Zhili alliance to discuss countermeasures. This has always been a grand event, attracting countless eyes across the country.
The Zhili clique regarded this as a morale-boosting move, and bigwigs gathered, as well as celebrities from various political parties and literati. As a direct boss, Cao Kun was unable to come in person due to busy state affairs, but he personally wrote "Beitang Xuan Shou" to show his respect and favor.
In an instant, the birthday banquets that everyone had racked their brains to prepare for a long time were staged one after another, making the banquet full of material and spiritual culture.
Zhang Qian, a native of Nantong, wrote a birthday couplet as a gift:
"Being famous thousands of miles away is like thunder and reaches far;
A hundred years of life will be as good as the sun.
Those wishing birthdays are like princes gathering together, and the occasion is unprecedented. Kang Youwei also wanted to attach himself to Wu "Jiwei", so he wrote this couplet to flatter him:
Makino Yingyang has achieved fame for only half a century;
Luoyang looks like a tiger, and wind and rain from all directions will come to Zhongzhou.
Tian Zhongyu from Shandong, Qi Xieyuan from Jiangsu, and Chen Guangyuan from Jiangxi were all under direct threat from the Feng clique, so they were very enthusiastic about Wu Peifu's proposal. In order to deal with the common enemy Feng, they also put aside their past grudges, and the family was very lively. Shanxi warlord Yan Xishan also sent envoys to discuss strategies to "protect the territory and the people" and made a non-aggression agreement with the Zhili clique.
Of course there is a clear stream. Others gave him valuable gifts, but Feng Yuxiang gave him a jar of water and called it "Palace Jade Liquid". This left Wu Peifu speechless, but the key point is that the person who gave the gift calmly talked nonsense about "admiring Marshal Wu as clear as water" and said that it "got it from Yuquan Mountain, the largest spring in the world."
Later, one of Feng Yuxiang’s subordinates spilled the beans: “It was scooped from the big urn in our camp.”
"This is Feng Yuxiang's revenge for these days. Wu Peifu can only accept it with joy, but he doesn't know whether he feels aggrieved in his heart.
“However, this meeting was very successful and almost turned into a swearing-in meeting for the Zhili clique against the Feng clique. Participants issued a "Refuse to return to Wu Pei"However, the leader Cao Kun swayed from side to side, unable to form a unified opinion, and his name was in vain.
In Wu Peifu’s view, the Fengcian clique is “boiling a frog in warm water” and slowly erodes the power of the Zhili clique. However, Cao Kun, the spiritual leader of the Zhili clique, was slow to react. He was unwilling to give up the good situation and fight against the Feng clique, so he implemented the strategy of retreat, and imagined that he could live in peace with the Feng clique and share the country.
Although his own line is relatively powerful, it only has one province of Henan (although Zhao Ti is officially a governor, he is not in his eyes at all and can be replaced at any time), so it has little potential for development; one of the direct "three governors of the Yangtze River" has already gone. (Wang Zhanyuan of Hubei), the remaining Jiangxi and Jiangsu are not affiliated with each other and are in internal chaos. At this time, if we cannot work together, we are in danger of losing our lives.
After Fengjun entered Shandong, Cao Kun also came to his senses. He claimed that he was not as good as Wu Peifu in the military. In order to show that the Zhili clan was one, he voluntarily gave up military power. He was ready to devote himself to politics and fulfill his role as the spiritual leader of the Zhili clan wholeheartedly. As a result, the military affairs of the three provinces of Zhi, Lu, and Henan were all assigned to Wu Peifu.
After unified command, the Zhili clique was rejuvenated and became an extraordinary force in the north. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 547 Dinggan
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The People's Army occupied Hefei, that is, it divided its troops and conquered various places. After the rebellion, Feng Yuxiang had withdrawn his troops in Anhui to the north of the Huaihe River and controlled various places in Huaibei such as Fuyang, Haozhou, Suzhou, Huaibei, Bengbu and other places. After Zhang Hanqing subdued several of Feng's generals, he took them in as soon as they saw fit, not for his own sake.
In order to continue to divide the Zhili clique, Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng was sent a counter-mail to re-appoint Feng Yuxiang as the governor of Huaibei, as a buffer against Wu Peifu's tribe in Henan. Feng Yuxiang thoroughly understood the strength of the People's Army. After taking office, he announced that he would "stop the troops and support the people." He obeyed the Central Committee's military orders and showed favor to Zhang Hanqing. In essence, he split from the direct line.
Feng Yuxiang’s troops withdrew from Hubei, making Hubei’s autonomy possible. At this time, Jiang Baili had arrived, and the three giants of the People's Army gathered together to discuss the next battle plan. At this time, the Zhili clique has been divided into three parts: in the north is the Wu Peifu clique, which is dominated by Zhili and Henan, and in east China is Jiangsu, where Qi Xieyuan is in charge. They are only connected by Xuzhou, or may have exchanges with Tian Zhongyu of Dulu.
Another direct general, Chen Tiaoyuan of Jiangxi, did not have such good luck. The west and north were Hunan, Hubei, and Anhui controlled by the People's Army respectively. The south was the Guangdong military government that had been clamoring for the "Northern Expedition", and the northeast was controlled by the military government of Guangdong. Lu Yongxiang, who is affiliated with his old rival Anhui in Zhejiang, is waiting for the enemy on three sides, and the situation is very bad.
With a strategist's eye, Jiang Baili could see Jiangxi's advantages at a glance: the four provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, and Jiangxi were united, and Dong Ke could work with the Zhejiang-Anhui faction to conquer Jiangsu and capture the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River——At this time Due to the discord between Zhi and Feng, Duan Qirui, the leader of the Anhui clique, is ready to make a move. If he can combine the existing strength of the Anhui clique and use the Soviet Union and Shanghai as bait, he can attack Jiangsu and Shanghai in ten days.
Zhang Hanqing also thought so, and there was no need for strategic vision: Jiangxi was the only place Sun Yat-sen would pass through in his "Northern Expedition". If Jiangxi is captured, the Cantonese army will not be able to move north once there is peace between the north and the south in the future. Even if Sun Yat-sen takes over Beijing, he will have to rely on the Feng clique to make arrangements for China's political situation. In fact, power will still be in the hands of the Feng clique.
Originally, he was planning to unite with Sun Yat-sen to establish the Republic of China, but seeing the expansion of his strength, Zhang Hanqing's thoughts also changed - with this group of elite soldiers and generals, he could definitely do something big! According to historical facts, a coup to oust Sun Yat-sen is about to take place in Guangzhou. If we don’t wait until now to get involved in Gan Province, should we wait for Sun Yat-sen to come back next year?
After deliberation, it was decided to use Zhang Wensheng and a brigade of the old Anwu Army to guard Hefei and Chuzhou to form the Anhui Security Command. Ji Yiqiao's deputy Shao Wenkai took over as the commander of the 7th Division. He led his headquarters and Wang Duqing's mixed brigade across the Yangtze River, attacked Jingdezhen from Huangshan, and threatened Nanchang's left wing Poyang County;
Zhang Hanqing, Yu Xuezhong's 9th Division, and Jin Yun'e's mixed brigade, together with the Army's 8th Division from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River Commander Sun Chuanfang, turned from Jiujiang to attack Xingzi and De'an, and attacked Nanchang from the front;
Ji Yiqiao returned to Hunan and mobilized the 1st and 4th elite divisions of the Central Hunan People's Army to cross the Liuyang River from Changsha to attack Tonggu, and threaten the right wing of Nanchang along the Nanlian River.
The three-pronged army marched toward Nanchang in a mighty manner, under the slogan of "abolition of supervision and reduction of troops."
Under the devastating offensive of the People's Army and his troops, Chen Guangyuan's cronies and garrison envoy in northern Jiangxi, Deng Ruzhuo, were defeated like a mountain and had no power to resist. It only took Zhang Hanqing 7 days to force the Nanchang City, and joined forces with Zhang Chengde of the 4th Division in Anyi.
Chen Guangyuan successively urged Fang Benren, the garrison envoy in southern Gansu, to come to the rescue as soon as possible. However, Fang Benren had always been inclined to the Guangzhou National Government and had a good impression of Zhang Hanqing, who regarded himself as a "three dishes cooking righteousness". He actually ordered his troops to "strictly maintain neutrality and serve China | The central government’s orders are the yardstick, and no war can be fought without military orders.”
Zhou Yinren, the commander of another 12th Division stationed in Jiangxi, saw the situation as discordant. In order to preserve his strength, he led his troops to flee into Fujian.
Chen Guangyuan failed to send reinforcements, and Wu Peifu was beyond his reach. He also knew that there was nothing he could do, so he had to send a telegram to resign from the post of military governor. The speed was much faster than Zhang Hanqing expected. All areas north of Ji'an and Fuzhou surrendered, and only the garrison envoys of southern Ganxi controlled the three southern areas and were watching.
Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Anhui are all provinces that pass through the Yangtze River Basin. If there is a large-scale naval force, it will be a big help in controlling these places, including moving west to Chongqing and south to Jianghu in the future. In Zhang Hanqing's mind, he still needs to build a powerful navy in the future, and now is the time.
He increased the establishment of the Yangtze River Fleet, recruited elite soldiers from various ministries to enrich the team, and organized a brigade of troops, organized as the 1st Marine Brigade. He established the Yangtze River Defense Fleet with a small number of officers and soldiers who were proficient in water as the core. In the Qinhuangdao Navy Liu Guangkai, an outstanding student at the Naval Ship School and a former naval general of the Republic of China, was recommended as fleet commander.
Although he is said to be the commander, he actually only has two old gunboats purchased from the Americans, a small transport ship, and a marine brigade staffed by infantry. This is the entire property of the Yangtze River Defense Fleet.
The Yangtze River Fleet was established under such circumstances.
As the commander of the navy regardless of specific affairs, Zhang Hanqing naturally could not "condescend" to serve as the commander of the Northeast Jiang Defense Fleet when he had two nominal Jiang Defense Fleets. He also gave up this position at this time to let Shen Honglie Went to show off our talents. He himself focused on how to coordinate the coordinated development of the navy and army in the overall situation. In the words of a great man, he "takes small steps and thinks about some strategic issues."
The issues he thinks about are deep and broad.
In order to prepare for a rainy day, he trained naval and air force personnel in advance when warlords from all sides were expanding their armies, and he also steadily expanded the navy's power at the best possible opportunity. In his opinion, when the country has not yet been unified and the army is still the most urgent force at present, it is not appropriate to spend a large amount of precious financial resources to expand the navy on a large scale.
The reason is very simple: the gap between China and the naval powers is not a little big. To catch up, we must also pay attention to tricks and overtake in corners. Otherwise, what is the advantage of crossing? At present, the warships of various countries are almost the same as before World War I, except for the gradual improvement of equipment. Repeatedly manufacturing such warships, even if capable, is completely unnecessary.
Recalling the road to the strength of the Chinese navy in later generations, we can learn from it: not pursuing quantity but focusing on cultivating more talents, and preferring people to wait for equipment rather than letting equipment wait for people has proven to be a very suitable development theory. By concentrating its efforts on the development and improvement of a small number of warships, China will slowly narrow the gap with the navies of major powers. While improving the strength of its shipbuilding industry, it will catch up with other countries and strive to achieve "dumpling-making" when its national strength is strong.
So he decided to spend a lot of money to build a shipyard in Wuhan for both military and civilian purposes: by building civilian ships to promote transportation and improve the local economy, he also accumulated technical experience and improved supporting enterprises; he would start with replicating small gunboats and pass them when the time is right. Improve and then achieve self-research, from small tonnage to large tonnage, from the Yangtze River to offshore and then to the ocean.
These measures can be implemented safely after Jiangxi is pacified, because after Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and Anhui are integrated into one, small gunboats are very supportive to the army in these watery areas.
After the overall situation was decided, Zhang Hanqing reorganized the Central China People's Army.
A brigade from Jiu'an Wu Army and Wang Duqing's brigade were combined to form the 10th Division of the People's Army, and Zhao Minggao, deputy commander of the 3rd Division of the Lanzhou Military Region, was promoted to commander of the 10th Division. The 11th Division was newly built with Jin Yun'e's mixed brigade as the core, and Jin was appointed as the division commander.
After Hubei became autonomous, it was already under the control of the People's Army. In order to facilitate unified military arrangements, the Hubei 1st Division was renamed the 12th Division of the People's Army, and the division commander was still Zhao Ronghua.
The cunning Sun Chuanfang saw that the generals in various provinces were being reorganized and replaced, and he was afraid that his own division would also be affected, so he took the initiative to ask Zhang Hanqing to be transferred to southern Jiangxi to regain the unrest areas, but in fact he was far away from the "source of disaster".
Zhang Hanqing had known this man's ambition, and when troops and generals everywhere were reorganized, he did not want to press him too hard at this time and cause him to fall out, so he called him to be the border defense envoy of Jiangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang.
In October, due to the war in Fujian to expel Fujian governor Li Houji, Sun Chuanfang led the army from Hubei to Fujian via Jiangxi on the order of Zhang Hanqing. On March 19, 1923, he was appointed as the military governor of Fujian. He was temporarily away from Zhang Hanqing's trouble. .
Since he personally led the "Anmeng Army" into Outer Mongolia in 1919, Zhang Hanqing has successively conquered Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Hubei, Anhui, Hunan and half of Jiangxi. The People's Army under his jurisdiction has also expanded sharply to 13 reorganized divisions, which has exceeded Fenghuang in terms of number. 10 divisions of the army.
The only shortcoming is that most of these 13 divisions were formed through reorganization or reorganization of prisoners and recruitment of new troops. The only real elites were Pei Chunsheng's 1st Division and Zhang Chengde's 4th Division.
The rest of the divisions may be just empty infantry divisions because they have not received heavy equipment, or they may not have time to complete the reorganization of the Kuomintang’s student army, so that their actual strength can only be used as local protection forces, lacking the ability and experience to siege and field operations.
The People's Army at this time can only be said to be the airs of the People's Army, which is far from the modern army that Zhang Hanqing imagined.
In this way, a seemingly powerful army and several provinces that have not yet been fully controlled constitute the fact that the foundation of the People's Army is unstable. This is why Wu Peifu is not afraid of the number of the People's Army and still has the confidence to challenge Fengjun. Fortunately, although the People's Army was not very good, the opponents they encountered were even worse. After two rounds, they actually achieved the brilliance of the young marshal!
Zhang Zuolin was very concerned about Naizi's achievements and spent a lot of effort to support them: Central China and Northeast China are far apart, and there are direct lineages in the middle. In order to strengthen Zhang Hanqing's army, he spared no effort to combine newly built cannons with them through the Northwest Corridor. Machine guns and other heavy equipment were shipped to the People's Army.
At this time, the 10 divisions of Fengjun have completed standardized configuration. Not only are the divisions equipped with artillery regiments, but the regiments are also equipped with mortar companies.
It takes ten years to cultivate trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Cultivating qualified military and political talents requires a long process. After experiencing a major expansion of the People's Army, Zhang Hanqing wisely chose to train troops rather than expand further.
Fortunately, the domestic situation was calm at this time, and Wu Peifu was only silently mobilizing troops. The People's Army took advantage of this rare period of peace to arrange batches of mid- and senior-level officers to undergo rotation training at the Wuhan Military Academy, with remarkable results.

Chapter 548 Dawn of Peace
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The People's Army is drifting further and further away, leaving the Zhili Clan far behind. The Zhili now no longer dares to talk about "going south to unify the Republic of China", but loudly calls for an end to the civil war and the establishment of a united and unified government. This is forced by the situation and depends on public opinion.
In the past, when the Zhili clique was strong, they called for "armed reunification." Now that the situation is wrong, they called for "peaceful reunification."
The Zhili-Fengtian War in history failed to break out in the end because of the strength of the People's Army and the attack from the two major groups, the North and South People's Army and the Fengjun Army. This is what Zhang Hanqing is most gratified about.
The People’s Party’s various reforms in the Northeast have focused the attention of the Chinese people here. Not to mention its huge industrial and commercial capabilities, just the fact that millions of people flock to the Northeast every year to work and farm, you can know how attractive the Northeast is to the outside world.
“And since the establishment of the People’s Party, it has first taken back all the interests of the old Russia in Northeast China, which has attracted the attention of the Chinese people who have been bullied. They say that the Fengxuan Party has won glory for the Chinese people.
Later, its dazzling performance in the May 4th Movement and its reasonable, beneficial and measured negotiations with Japan greatly pleased the Chinese people. Countless people of insight believe that the People's Party will be the pillar force that will lead China to become stronger and is China's hope.
The party manages the country and the army, and public ownership of land. Isn’t this what communism in the Soviet Union was like at this time? Moreover, the People's Party's approach is far more in line with China's reality: not only has it not made the system rigid, it has also unleashed the enthusiasm of farmers, continuously producing bumper harvests in the Northeast.
The establishment of more than a dozen large industrial and commercial groups and their unity under the leadership of the "National Unification Council" is not that socialist public ownership?
In addition, the practice of the system of separation of powers has allowed the Chinese people to see the hope of Chinese governance. A lively government is far more attractive than the "five-camera system" that Sun Yat-sen talks about on paper and the three-party system he advocates.
Therefore, after comparing the differences between China and foreign countries, the revolutionaries who went north, west, and east to learn also believed that the experience of the People's Party was far better than that of other countries. Naturally, there was no need to follow the path of Soviet Russia. Therefore, the Communist Party of China has never been able to occupy a place in this great trend. Many outstanding leaders of the labor movement and outstanding generals have joined the People's Party in and outside the country. This is one of the reasons for the rapid expansion of the People's Party.
Zhang Hanqing didn't know that under his influence bit by bit, the current situation had changed in a direction that was extremely beneficial to the Fengcun. Although most events were still moving towards their own destiny, there were some slight changes in pace or direction. Deviation.
While the Fengcian faction and the People's Army are booming, Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang has always been tepid: it has neither been recognized by more people in the country, nor has the legitimacy of the regime been recognized by the great powers.
Sun Yat-sen returned to Guangdong from Shanghai at this time last year and appointed himself as the very president of the Republic of China, but he was not recognized by the great powers. However, he remained determined and actively organized the Northern Expeditionary Army, and personally went to Guangxi to lobby Li Zongren, the new leader of the Guangxi clique, to gain the support of the Guangxi clique.
In order to show his intention of "the world is for the common good", he has repeatedly told the outside world that as long as the "dictatorial" Beiyang Government President Xu Shichang steps down, he will also step down at the same time.
"If this is true, it is a blessing for China and the people!" Zhang Hanqing decided to end the civil war in order to restore China's economy and its status as a great power as soon as possible, so he sent a secret message to Zhang Zuolin to put pressure on Xu Shichang.
At the same time, Cao Kun also received Wu Peifu's advice and used the period of peaceful founding of the country to delay the pressure from the People's Army and Fengjun, create conditions for the reinforcement of troops, and also put pressure on Xu Shichang.
The reason why Cao Kun worked so hard to drive Xu away was actually because he wanted to "put on a yellow robe". Although the Feng clique has grown greatly in power in recent years, it still has shallow roots in Beijing. When the Feng clique forces have not fully penetrated into Beijing, especially when the Congress is controlled by the Zhili clique, there is a high probability that he will be "elected" as president. In this way, he has the reputation of being orthodox, and with the courage of the direct army, he may be able to rival the Feng clan.
?????????????????????????????? However, Xu Shichang was the president elected by the Anfu clique after all, and it was also approved by the Congress. If the appearance is too ugly, I am afraid it will cause joint opposition from the southern military government and the Feng clique.
It is said that Duan Qirui is also instigating the great alliance of Feng, Anhui and Guangdong to avenge the defeat of Xue with one stone. Moreover, Wu Peifu also believes that such a rough and tough approach will not win the trust of the world and will only worsen the already divided situation. He believed that we should first put forward the idea of ??"restoring legal authority" and "unifying the country", and then using the old Congress to "elect" Cao Kun as the "justified" president.
He believed that even if the members of the Southern Congress returned to Beijing, the Zhili clique would be sure to win. This idea was recognized by Cao Kun.
So former President Li Yuanhong came into their sight: he was once accused of opposing the "Southern?" Being ousted by Duan Qirui, he was able to gain the understanding of the Guangdong clique; he had no soldiers and no power. Firstly, he was easy to fool, and secondly, the clique would not oppose him.
Zhang Hanqing also hopes that Xu Shichang's coming to power can lead to reconciliation between the north and the south, so that the three families of Guangdong, Zhili, and Feng will have the opportunity to re-form a unified government. No matter how the territory is divided in the future, at least the country is nominally unified, which is a big progress for China, because the "Washington Treaty" also "guarantees China's independent state status."
At present, the two departments are in charge of Beijing. The trials of the three powers in the northeast have also been praised at home and abroad. It is not a problem for Zhang Zuolin to be elected president by controlling the power of 15 provinces. For the same reason, he also agreed to make Li Yuanhong the president and wait for the various factions to unify before re-electing him.
The two pillars each have their own motives, but when they work together, Xu Shichang is under great pressure. On June 2, Xu announced his resignation.
For a time, all walks of life called Sun Yat-sen and the Guangzhou Extraordinary Congress, calling on Sun Yat-sen to fulfill his declaration to step down at the same time as Xu Shichang and realize the republican unity of the country. More than 200 celebrities, including Cai Yuanpei, Hu Shi, Gao Yihan, etc., even jointly called for Sun Yat-sen to step down.
But surprisingly, Sun Yat-sen categorically refused to resign.
Immediately, all sectors of society were disappointed, and Sun Yat-sen's popularity dropped rapidly. Even Duan Qirui said to Cao Rulin: "In the past, Sun Wen used the provisional agreement to be trampled as a banner to start a revolution. But now that the provisional agreement has been restored, Sun Wen still insists on rebelling. From now on, it becomes his fault." ”
The People's Army's successive victories made Chen Jiongming, the governor of Guangdong, minister of the army of the French-protecting military government, and commander of the First Army of the Guangdong Army, who did not approve of the Northern Expedition in his heart, had a different idea: the Anhui clique that had hindered the legal system of Guangda had fallen. Even its last symbol, President Xu Shichang, has been replaced by Li Yuanhong, so why bother with the Northern Expedition? When the extraordinary members of Congress return to Beijing and form a coalition government based on the autonomy of each province, won't peace in China be achieved?
There seemed to be a glimmer of hope for peace, but what Chen Jiongming didn't expect was a core question: If the three major companies united and became autonomous, would it be Sun Yat-sen's turn to be the president? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 549 Shelling the Presidential Palace

Sun Yixian broke his promise, which made Chen Jiongming very disgusted. He believed that "the reason why we have been making revolutions and trying to overthrow the Beiyang government by force is simply because the Beiyang warlords forgot the "Provisional Agreement" and ravaged the constitutional government. Now since the " The Provisional Agreement has been restored, so naturally we don’t need to rebel."
Because the Beiyang government almost simultaneously announced the implementation of the law that Sun Yat-sen insisted on restoring, Sun Yat-sen's law-protection movement should be declared a success. However, Sun Yixian still ignored Chen Jiongming's opposition and insisted on violently overthrowing the Beiyang government through the military Northern Expedition. What did he do? Opposition for the sake of opposition? Do you want to eat it together with Zhibong? It’s really overestimating one’s capabilities!
A total of 150,000 people in the 8th Brigade of the 6th Zhili Division are concentrated in the hands of military strongman Wu Peifu. The Fenglian People's Army and the Fengjun Army have 23 divisions with more than 300,000 people. They are all field troops. How many divisions does the Guangdong Army have? Do ants eat elephants?
In history, if there hadn't been a big battle between Zhili and Fengcheng, and Wu Peifu was captured by Feng Yuxiang and others, the Northern Expedition would never have been able to defeat him; the Fengtian clique was also severely weakened because of Guo Songling's rebellion, which turned the Fengcheng faction upside down and killed several generals. , otherwise how to write history is really interesting. Zhang Hanqing has initially reversed the historical mistakes of the Feng Clan, and Chen Jiongming does not want to make this mistake anymore.
Seeing the strength of the People's Army, Fujian governor Li Houji initially pro-Anhui clique and later switched to the Zhili clique. He is currently defeated by Zang Zhiping, the remnant of the Anhui clique. It is rumored that Fujian governor Li Houji has asked Sun Chuanfang, the newly appointed border defense envoy of Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Fujian, for help. Sun Chuanfang is an official appointed by Zhang Hanqing. If he enters Fujian, he will inevitably have trouble with him. Moreover, now that the Zhili-Fengzhi faction has taken control of Beijing, who will be conquered by this Northern Expedition?
Chen Jiongming has always advocated establishing a good constitutional government in Guangdong, imitating the United States, establishing a federal system similar to the United States, and gradually moving towards peaceful reunification, that is, "federal provincial autonomy." However, Sun Yixian advocated "centralization of power" and wanted to use force in the Northern Expedition in order to seize power by himself. The fragile superficial harmony between the two became fragile after his chief of staff Deng Keng was assassinated.
He had already had trouble with Sun Yat-sen before, when the Extraordinary Congress elected Sun Yat-sen as the Extraordinary President in April last year. Here, he opposed Sun's inauguration as president, and he did not even attend Sun's inauguration ceremony.
He believes that according to the Presidential Election Law, the president is jointly elected by the two houses of Congress. At least two-thirds of the total number of members present, that is, 580 people, can be present. However, Guangdong only has more than 200 people, which is less than half of the original members of the House of Representatives. Moreover, registration is implemented. Vote, isn’t this a self-destructive law? What is the essential difference from the Northern Destruction Law? Once a formal government is established in Guangdong, there is only one outcome, and the north and the south will fall into war again.
Sun Yat-sen still did it. Because there were not enough members in the emergency period, it was called the Extraordinary Congress. The president elected by this abnormal Congress would naturally be the Extraordinary President
However, Chen Jiongming was a powerful faction after all, and the "Northern Expedition" still relied on him. Although I don't know what he was thinking, Sun Yat-sen still appointed Chen as Minister of Army and Minister of General Affairs, and persuaded him to join the Kuomintang - the Kuomintang was already the fourth After the first reorganization, there is no need to take fingerprints and swear allegiance to Sun Yat-sen himself.
This dispute began to intensify when Chen Jiongming's general Ye Ju led the troops stationed in Guangxi and Guangdong back to Guangzhou without permission, demanded military pay from the Generalissimo's Mansion, and started to stir up trouble. Sun Yat-sen was furious and dismissed his posts as Commander-in-Chief of the Guangdong Army, Governor of Guangdong Province, and Chief of the Interior. He only retained the post of Chief of the Army. Chen Jiongming, who was unwilling to make the Northern Expedition, resigned and returned to his hometown of Huizhou.
Seeing that the Northern Expeditionary Army was victorious in southern Gansu, advancing towards Ganzhou, and likely to meet the People's Army in Nanchang, Sun Yixian asked Hu Hanmin to stay in Shaoguan while he returned to Guangdong from Guangxi in the summer. He wanted to personally settle the situation in the rear area.
The Guangdong Army is Chen Jiongming's army. Although he gave up, Sun Yat-sen's men could not take over. There was no other way, so Sun Yixian appointed Chen Jiongming's subordinate Ye Ju to supervise the Guangdong-Guangxi border to show his trust. But Ye Ju didn't appreciate it, and actually brought more than 60 battalions of Guangdong troops to the provincial capital under the pretext of welcoming Chen's reinstatement.
However, at this time, the Guangdong Army was divided. One faction demanded that Chen Jiongming return to the province immediately, resume all his duties, and control the overall situation; the other faction was dissatisfied with Chen Jiongming's excessive weakness towards Sun Yixian, and hoped to be led by Ye Ju and completely break with Sun. If Chen Jiongming disagrees, he will be sent abroad (a common practice for politicians to step down in this era) or continue to recuperate in Huizhou.
Ye Ju declared martial law in Guangzhou, with sentries all over the thoroughfares, with the intention of intimidating him. After all, with Sun Yat-sen's prestige, Ye Ju did not dare to move. If he could force him away, it would be a victory. At this time, Sun Yat-sen and his wife Soong Ching-ling were stationed at the Yuexiu Tower in Guanyin Mountain, the Presidential Palace in Guangzhou. Ye Ju had tens of thousands of troops stationed in Guangzhou city, and he only had a guard regiment. This shows that he should have known Ye Ju's intentions, otherwise he would not have been so entrusted.
He hosted a banquet at the Presidential Palace to receive the Cantonese generals, but not a single senior officer came. Only a few middle- and lower-ranking officers came. This was disappointing.??. The 4th, 9th, and 11th Divisions stationed in Jiangxi also stopped resting and regrouped in Fuzhou.
Fang Benren, the garrison envoy in southern Jiangxi, was secretly "in solidarity" with the Northern Expeditionary Army. Seeing that the People's Army had transformed from the original "enemy army" into a "friendly army" supporting Sun Yixian, he ordered his headquarters to open the road and allow the People's Army to pass through. .
In the original official history, Chiang Kai-shek rushed from Shanghai to Guangdong on a starry night after receiving a call from Sun Yat-sen, "It's urgent, please come as soon as possible." He finally escaped danger after 56 days of being in trouble with Sun Yat-sen, and later wrote about this battle in President Sun Yat-sen's Guangzhou "The Misfortune". He deliberately asked Sun Yat-sen to write a preface. From then on, he became famous within the party and created a generation of heroes.
"However, the war situation developed too fast, and he had no chance to rise. This was caused by the current situation. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 550 Entering Guangdong
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
When the People's Army entered Guangdong, Ye Ju urgently mobilized his troops and generals to set up checkpoints at strategic locations. On the western front, one division was stationed at Jinjiling northwest of Shaoguan. On the eastern front, defenses were established in the Shiziyan area north of the source of the river. And ordered the Guangzhou army to attack Sun Yat-sen with more intense firepower to eliminate the threat in the abdomen and concentrate on dealing with the northern military.
Under Ye Ju's fierce attack, Sun Yixian's "Yongfeng Ship" was injured in many places and had to withdraw from Guangzhou Bay.
Ye Ju defeated Sun Yixian and was about to free up his strength to command and defend the enemy. Unexpectedly, Yu Xuezhong saw that he could not attack for a long time. He led his troops not far away for several hundred miles and sneaked across Yinna Mountain and Jiaoling north of Meizhou. He unexpectedly occupied Meixian and Xingxing. Ning, there is an attempt to capture Longchuan and cover the rear route to Shiziyan on its right.
The right army of the Guangdong Army had no choice but to divide its troops and retreat to Longchuan. However, the People's Army, which had a large number of troops, was unexpectedly defeated and defeated the small number of reinforcements of the Guangdong Army and advanced to the source of the river. The defenders of Lion Rock were attacked front and back, and the entire army surrendered.
After the victory, the People's Army's western front was divided into two groups. Along the way, Yu Xuezhong's 9th Division and Jin Yunyu's 11th Division went straight into Huizhou, and fought a strategic decisive battle with the Guangzhou Cantonese Army on the side of Luofu Mountain. There is no danger to defend east of Guangzhou. Along the way, Zhang Chengde's 4th Division advanced to the back road of Shaoguan via Lianping and Wengyuan, and occupied the Guangzhou-Shaoguan section of the Guangdong-Hankou Railway, cutting off its front supply.
The People's Army defeated the Guangdong army with overwhelming power, overwhelming power, and in the name of justice. Wu Peifu, who was far away in the Central Plains, was both surprised by the People's Army's courage to attack thousands of miles, and lamented the decay of the Guangdong Army - but Sun Dapao relied on this army to block Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui and his own army. why is that?
Zhang Hanqing knows the answer: faith.
In the past, the Northern Expeditionary Army, in the hands of Sun Yat-sen, used the banner of "protecting the law" and the slogan was to establish a new Republic of China with three dishes and righteousness. Naturally, the soldiers could go to the battlefield hungry without complaining. Now the chief has even beaten Sun Yat-sen, and the People's Army is using the banner of "counterinsurgency". Who is the gun pointed at? If the problem is unclear, morale will naturally not be high, so why die in vain?
"Just like in history, the Kuomintang's soldiers were defeated in one battle, but in the hands of the Communist Party, they immediately became extremely brave, as if they were a different person immediately. You cannot label him as timid, fearful of war, afraid of death, etc. You can only say that he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
"It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's so easy to put icing on the cake." In this troubled autumn, the Gui family will also beat the dog in the water. Lu Rongting, the leader of the old Guangxi Clan, also used the name "King Qin" to send troops from Wuzhou to occupy Fengkai and Yunan counties, hoping to use Xijiang as the boundary to arrange the distribution of post-war benefits in advance.
This was a convenient move. There were no more troops to the west of Guangzhou. The Guangxi clique could easily acquire Yunfu, Zhaoqing, Jiangmen, Yangjiang, Maoming, Zhanjiang and other areas in Guangdong Province, accounting for about one-third of the province's territory.
Faced with a three-pronged attack, Ye Ju had no choice but to issue a peace declaration on July 1. But how could Zhang Hanqing allow him a chance to breathe? In the telegram on July 2, he said: "The troops of Yu, Zhang, Wei, Zhao, and Jin should go south immediately to completely eliminate the enemies on the frontal battlefield. The great cause of unifying the southeast is here. 'It is better to use the remaining brave men to chase the poor bandits, and not to be ignorant. Overlord'."
On July 4, Huangpu in Guangzhou was captured, and Ye Ju and his family fled to Hong Kong by boat.
That afternoon, Yu Xuezhong’s troops entered the city first and held a massive military parade in the east of the city for the young marshal who came later. Lu Rongting, the leader of the old Gui Army, and Tang Jiyao of Yunnan sent people to attend and jointly witnessed this historical moment.
Subsequently, Zhang Hanqing reorganized the Guangdong Army, established the South China People's Army Headquarters, and appointed Yu Xuezhong as commander. Zhao Minggao, a veteran Fengjun general, served as his deputy commander.
In just one year, Yu Xuezhong rose from a battalion commander to regimental commander, brigade commander, and acting division commander, and then became a senior official on the same level as Han Linchun and Jian Yiqiao. The speed of promotion is rare among generals in the Fengxian dynasty. In my impression, only Jiang Baili rose from lieutenant general to general in less than 10 days, but that was a false title. Yu Xuezhong was a real general who led troops in combat, which is different from him.
Yu Xuezhong was grateful for the young commander's trust, but he refused repeatedly and did not dare to accept the order.
He said: "Xue Zhong was promoted from a battalion commander to a regiment brigade commander and division commander. He often fought with trepidation and thought that his ability was mediocre and failed to convince the public. The young marshal even gave him a big responsibility in the strategic location of Guangdong. No matter how arrogant Xuezhong is, how dare he Agree? There are more than ten million capable people under the old commander's command. In order to balance the old man's heart, I ask the young commander to either ask Commander Zhao to be the commander, or to ask Deputy Commander Han to serve concurrently, or to transfer one or two veteran generals from Liaoning to learn from loyalty and order. I am following my account and I dare not miss military orders."
Zhang Hanqing knew that this person had a high reputation in history, was loyal, and had extremely strong personal abilities. From several battles, it can be seen that he had a unique vision and a well-organized person.
"However, it is indeed too early to arrange for him to be a high-ranking official at this time, but given time, it is indeed difficult for anyone in the Fengtian army to surpass him. ??Now that the southeast has been pacified, civil strife continues in Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan, and they are poor places. Sun Chuanfang is about to enter Fujian in the north. According to official history, it will be a situation of advancing north to Zhejiang, and being suppressed by the Central China People's Army, only four divisions are needed A large number of troops are guarding here, and there should be no major changes in the short term.
So he said calmly: "In the important area of ??Northeast China, no one except Sun Fu (Sun Liechen), Zhang Fu (Zhang Zuoxiang), and Marshal Wu can take on this important task. Commander Guo in North China is a suitable talent, but the troubled place in the north , not suitable for deployment. Although there are many brave generals in the People's Army, they are not as good as their elder brothers in the strategic overall situation; as for Deputy Commander-in-Chief Han"
He looked at Yu Xuezhong and said sincerely: "He wants to assist me in the unified management of the People's Army in the Guan area, and he cannot leave Wuhan for the time being. The current national situation is very favorable to the People's Army, and I will soon go to North China to complete the reorganization and integration into the People's Army." We will prepare a new political and military strategy for major military affairs and leave this corner of South China to my brother."
Yu Xuezhong was grateful for the young marshal's trust in him, and he was well aware of the heavy burden on his shoulders. He solemnly performed a military salute and said: "Xue Zhong will do his best and live up to the young marshal's trust."
So Zhang Hanqing overcame all opinions and formally appointed Yu Xuezhong as the commander-in-chief of the South China People's Army, with Zhao Minggao as deputy commander, Jin Yun'e as chief of staff, and Wang Ruihua as director of the political department. Wang Ruihua also served as acting secretary of the South China People's Party, responsible for Party building work. The South China People's Army Headquarters has four divisions, the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th of the People's Army, and its headquarters is located in Guangzhou.
In line with the principle of not trusting those who are employed and not using those who are suspicious, Zhang Hanqing simply asked Yu Xuezhong to concurrently take charge of the preparatory work for the armed police force in South China. Anyway, the military and political power has been entrusted to him, so why bother with the things that are still on paper? Are you reluctant to take control of the Armed Police Force?
On the second day after entering Guangzhou, Zhang Hanqing ordered the People's Army to cross the Xijiang River and confront the Gui Army at Gaoyao. Seeing the strength of the people's army, Lu Rongting had no choice but to withdraw his troops from the occupied areas.
Suddenly in power, Yu Xuezhong began to feel at a loss: the young marshal trusted him too much. As an outsider, he could bypass the veteran of the People's Army and the young marshal and completely let him go. For this trust, he gave birth to A feeling that a scholar dies for his confidant.
From that day on, he devoted all his efforts and worked day and night to build the South China People's Army into an iron army that "obeys the commander-in-chief and can win battles." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Zhao Minggao is an expert in fighting, and Wang Ruihua is Zhang Hanqing's confidant (at least Yu Xuezhong thinks so), so he humbly consults Zhao Minggao on many military construction issues, and fully cooperates with Wang Ruihua's requirements in the political work of the People's Army.
The generals all recognized him so, and Zhao Minggao was gradually moved by his magnanimity and dedication to the People's Army. Originally, he was puzzled that Xuezhong had climbed up to him so quickly. Now it seems that the young commander has his own extraordinary understanding of hiring people.
With the cooperation of the generals, Wang Ruihua's political work went smoothly, and the concept of the People's Party as leadership was quickly established in the army. The South China People's Army, even more than the Central China People's Army, recognizes the leadership of the People's Party. Of course, Zhang Hanqing served as Yu Xuezhong's introducer to join the party, and Yu Xuezhong also joined the party.
When the People's Army entered Guangdong, it was under the banner of seeking help from Sun Yat-sen. However, after settling in Guangzhou, Sun Yat-sen was not invited to deal with the aftermath. At this time, Sun Yixian was still living a wandering life in Lingding Ocean.
The situation in Guangdong at this time was very complicated, with the People's Army and the Guangdong Army confronting each other in various places. The Guangdong army was divided into several groups: those loyal to Sun Yixian, the rebels who followed Ye Ju, those who tended to Chen Jiongming, those who had no ties with the three parties but were in confrontation with the People's Army, and a few who were at a loss.
"However, the South China People's Army has an absolute advantage: both in terms of numbers and unity of command. Although it is also temporarily composed of several major forces, it is definitely much better than the Guangdong Army.
“But chaos leads to change, and Guangdong needs stability. Zhang Hanqing decided to visit Chen Jiongming. He now needs him to come forward to clean up the mess.
Chen Jiongming is now staying in his hometown in Huizhou. As soon as the news came that the Presidential Palace in Guangzhou had been bombarded, he sighed dejectedly: "I will never be able to clean it up in my life!"
However, the next day, Wei Bangping, the commander of the 3rd Division of the Cantonese Army and the commander of the Guangzhou garrison, urgently called Wei Bangping: "The Guangdong incident has gotten into such a mess. It is hard to take the blame. I am ashamed and hateful, and the bandits have made public statements. The only way is to go out completely and thank the people of the country." Now that Guangdong Province has been reduced to a coronation, I have to rely on my brother to shoulder the arduous task of protecting Sun Gong's honor."
The next day, he sent a telegram to Wu Tingfang, who had succeeded him as the governor, also asking him to try to keep Sun Yat-sen safe. Unfortunately, the 80-year-old Wu was so angry that he went to the hospital after hearing the big change. This was also the time after the People's Army entered Guangzhou. One of the reasons no one cleans up the mess. It all happened suddenly, and there was no detailed investigation at all.
Under this circumstance, it is appropriate to re-appoint Chen Jiongming, who has almost the same governance philosophy as Zhang Hanqing. Putting aside political controversies, Chen Jiongming's personal life and conduct are completely different from what people understand as a warlord's style.
He is not only talented in literature, but also honest and self-sufficient, and does not keep any personal wealth. Historically, when he died of illness in Hong Kong, he had to use the coffin prepared by his mother. He is also very rigorous in life, and he is proud of his non-dual color, which at least Zhang Hanqing admires. After his death, Hong Kong's Industrial and Commercial Daily commented: "The Kuomintang has lost an enemy, and China has lost a good person."
From the time he was a member to the governor, he regarded the ban on gambling as an important task: the Qing government regarded finance and taxation as an important source of revenue. Banning gambling would undoubtedly destroy the jobs of thousands of financial businessmen and cut off the number of government officials a year. With millions of taels of silver rolling in, the pressure can be seen.
But he was very decisive and advocated the use of thunderous means, so according to the regulations, gambling in Guangzhou has disappeared, so the bridge built in Guangzhou last year was named "Chen Gong's Forbidden Wealth Memorial Bridge", which shows that this matter is deeply popular.
“He achieved county-level autonomy and judicial independence, and he also made great achievements in the economy and education. However, he was in power for too short a time, and the results were not as loud as his name of banning gambling.
However, his achievements in governing Zhangzhou in the past few years were highly praised by the American Consul in Xiamen, Kellyton: "Chen implemented various municipal reforms, and the methods he used were almost revolutionary; but the results were excellent, and the people were grateful for the results." Satisfied. This shows the Chinese that things can be done without excessive toil and heavy taxes."
He believed that the twenty-six counties in southern Fujian under Chen Jiongming's rule could be called "Model Little China."
"That's enough. For his ability and his work for the people, he doesn't care about the historical grudges between him and Sun Yat-sen. The starting point of all things done for the people, no matter what the outcome, is worthy of praise.
Zhang Hanqing visited Chen Jiongming at his home in Huizhou. At that time, the subordinates who supported Chen thought that the People's Army was here to arrest Chen, and they all took a desperate stance. Zhang Hanqing smiled lightly, leaving his guard and a regiment behind, and then walked into Chen's house calmly.
Since you have decided to take him under your wing, you naturally have to show some trust. And for this reason, there are still so many people who are loyal to him. It is conceivable that he is not a bad person. No matter what the outcome is, I am here as a guest, so why???Nearly two million people invade Guandong every year, needless to say!
In places under the control of the People’s Party, administration is based on merit rather than whether he is a member of the People’s Party! Are you from the Feng family? Chen Gong knows that Yu Youren, the governor of Shaanxi, Xia Shoukang, the governor of Hubei, and Xu Shiying, the governor of Anhui—Governor Xu was recommended by me as the director-general of internal affairs of the Central Committee half a month ago.
“None of them are from the People’s Party, and I didn’t even know them before entering Central China. Now they have become my right-hand men, and they have also become high-ranking officials.
Therefore, Xueliang believes that Commander-in-Chief Chen, who has the ability to bring benefits to the people of Guangdong Province, can legitimately serve as the governor of Guangdong Province! This is also the purpose of my coming here today. "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 552 Negotiation

If there was any news in Guangzhou after the mutiny that shocked all parties, Chen Jiongming's agreement to become the governor of Guangdong under the control of the People's Army was the most significant news. It was so heavy that Sun Yat-sen, who was still cruising at sea, seemed to have been hit hard again. .
Well, he had just received the news that his important assistant Wu Tingfang, the former governor of the Military Government of France, had died of illness. Before he could prepare a eulogy, the situation in Guangzhou changed again.
Chen Jiongming responded to the call of the People's Army Commander-in-Chief Zhang Hanqing and called the whole country to express his decision to succeed the governor after careful consideration; he also called on all warring parties to put aside their past grudges and call a truce for the sake of the people of Guangdong Province.
In the city of Guangzhou, the Extraordinary Congress has ceased operations. Zhong Xiunan, the former finance minister of the Chen Jiongming group, and Wei Bangping, the former Guangzhou garrison commander, have announced that they are obeying the dispatch and have begun to rectify the city's order. His subordinates, Xie Yi, former commander of the first regiment of the First Division of the Guangdong Army, and Chen Xiujue, commander of the third regiment, all responded to his call and prepared to reconcile with the People's Army.
However, Liang Hongkai, commander of the First Army of the Guangdong Army, expressed wait-and-see, while Xu Chongzhi of the Second Army who was loyal to Sun Yixian, Deng Yanda, commander of the 1st Division Engineer Battalion, Guo Xueyun, commander of the independent battalion, Liang Honglin, commander of the first regiment, Chen Shihuan, commander of the fourth regiment, and Shaoguan Base Camp Sun Yat-sen's guard, Zhang Fakui, all announced that they would obey Sun Yat-sen's orders, and at least for now a brief peaceful situation was achieved.
Zhang Hanqing also sent a message calling on Sun Yat-sen to call for a truce and discuss the current situation together. He thought that he might as well take this opportunity to let the extraordinary members of Congress return to Beijing to create a complete legislative body, and then discuss the matter of unification.
In order to express his determination, he also expressed his willingness to set aside a place in Guangzhou Bay for the Nationalist Army to station. This open-minded attitude and determination for peace greatly inspired the Chinese people, and they all believed that Sun Yat-sen had no reason not to agree to such generous conditions. Once implemented, the south will be stabilized, and China will return to the situation it was in when the Republic of China was first established after eleven years. "Everlasting legal rule" is just around the corner.
You must know that the topographic map of Guangdong is in the shape of an isosceles triangle. Shaoguan, Guangzhou Bay (the old name of Zhanjiang), and Shantou form three strategic corners. Zhang Hanqing's surrender of Guangzhou Bay actually gave the Kuomintang army room to survive. This is It is unimaginable when the People's Army has an absolute advantage, and it fully demonstrates Zhang Hanqing's sincerity for peace.
But Sun Yat-sen was unwilling.
He sent his personal representative, Hu Hanmin, the former general counselor, civil official and political minister of the military government, to go to Guangzhou City to negotiate with the young marshal. He had two requirements: Chen Jiongming wrote a letter of repentance; and the People's Army withdrew from the south of Xijiang River to Lingdingyang. Southland boundary.
Chen Jiongming's writing of a letter of repentance meant that he admitted that he was involved in the mutiny, which Chen Jiongming could not accept. As his secretary Chen Mengsun said, "When a big gate is lost, benevolence will attract others." After letting Sun Dapao go, he also Get up and be reluctant!
Zhang Hanqing could not agree, because it would have the opportunity to insinuate the motivation of the People's Army to enter Guangdong.
As for Sun Yat-sen's intention to go to Guangdong, which is a third of the territory, Zhang Hanqing was speechless. The current Kuomintang army is not as powerful as it was after undergoing training at the Huangpu Military Academy a few years later. The Kuomintang is not as influential as it was a few years later when it attracted quite a few people with the slogan "Unite Russia and the Communist Party to support farmers and workers." There were less than 5,000 people loyal to Sun Yat-sen.
"If he is given a place, with Sun Yat-sen's ability to toss, he will definitely turn Guangdong into his own nightmare!"
Hu Hanmin and others should have a good understanding of the New Deal in Northeast China, and they have always admired Zhang Hanqing for his "three dishes cooking justice" banner, but this time, he was disappointed.
Zhang Hanqing told him directly: "Now is a good time to establish a unified Republic of China. What has happened has happened, and we will not let it return to the previous situation. Please reply to Mr. Sun: I respect his ideas on governing China, but Xueliang also has his own ideas."
“We had too many things in common before, but now we must look forward together and seek common ground while reserving differences. China has shed too much blood and tears, and we cannot let it continue to flow.
As for the criticism of Governor Chen’s actions, according to Xueliang’s understanding, he is a good governor who is deeply loved by the people of Guangdong. So no matter how many ups and downs there were in the past, please put it all in one sentence and let’s move forward. "
Hu Hanmin had been given instructions, so of course he would not dismiss them with just a few words. The situation was very unfavorable to him, and he did not care about his words, but said in a strong tone: "This is the president's last advice. If the young marshal cannot accept it, then the young marshal will bear the responsibility for the corruption in Guangdong!"
Zhang Hanqing was furious: "Mr. Hu, let me correct your slip of the tongue: Mr. Sun was just a local separatist force in the south that broke away from the control of the central government. We can definitely call it a warlord!
Yu SunThe official position of "President" so called by Mr. is only elected by a small group of illegitimate members of Congress. It is really inappropriate to call it such a title. There is only one president in China now, and that is President Li Yuanhong, who was legally elected by the Congress.
“I have always respected Mr. Sun’s indomitable fighting spirit to realize his ideals, but if his fighting spirit is to step on Zhang Xueliang as a step forward, 300,000 soldiers and the People’s Army will accompany him to the end! In this world, it is not just the Kuomintang that is working hard for the rise of the Republic of China! And as far as I know, the real cause of Guangzhou's corruption is not Governor Chen or Commander Ye who took the blame, but Sun Dapao! "
When Sun Yat-sen bombarded Guangzhou, it was stipulated at that time that naval military operations must be ordered by the Navy Commander. Since there was no order, no soldiers dared to take action. Sun Yixian was so angry that he simply fired the cannon himself. This is also the origin of "Sun Dapao". After the bombardment of Guangzhou, Hu Shi criticized: "The hearts and minds of the whole country have been lost far away, and the hearts and minds of Guangzhou have been lost close by"
The term "Sun Dapao" was first proposed by Zhang Hanqing in this time and space, and later became Sun Yat-sen's alias. Now that he has fallen out with the Kuomintang, there is no need to worry about anything anymore. Politics is inherently cruel and ruthless, and politicians should also have the awareness to accept various tests, and he believes that Sun Yat-sen has this experience.
He said to Hu Hanmin: "If you understand this way, I think there is nothing left to talk about between us. Go back and tell Sun Yat-sen to order all the National Army in Guangdong to surrender to me and accept the adaptation, otherwise I will We will deploy troops immediately to eliminate them one by one. Of course, if any of them are willing to leave Guangdong, I can send someone to send them out with gifts!"
Hu Hanmin came with hope and left with disappointment.
"Different paths do not lead to the same goal. Sun Yat-sen is a generational figure with firm political ideals. He is unwilling to leave the place where he has risen many times and his hometown. Now the People's Army is stationed everywhere. It has thousands of loyal soldiers and China's first-class warships. It still has the strength to fight (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 553 A big fight
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The negotiations broke down and the two sides began to prepare for a fight.
Sun Yixian set up his camp at the Huangpu Fish and Mine Bureau, and personally led the Yongfeng, Yongxiang, Chuyu, Yuzhang, Tongan, Guangyu, Anbi, and Tianhuang ships to patrol the Pearl River Estuary.
At the same time, troops loyal to Sun also gathered together. Part of the Second Army in Boluo, led by Xu Chongzhi, moved to the southwest, preparing to join forces with Sun Yixian's guard regiment; while Zhang Fakui, Deng Yanda and other troops in Shaoguan were In order to avoid the sharp edge of the People's Army, they also formed the Fourth Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army and gathered in Guangxi, preparing to use it as a base to fight the People's Army again.
Although the negotiations broke down, Zhang Hanqing still does not want to antagonize Sun Yat-sen. This is purely a personal preference. After all, later generations have been publicized a lot and unconsciously thought that they had opened fire on the "Father of the Nation", which was a great sin. Therefore, the People's Army was ordered to get out of the way and let them pass.
“I didn’t expect that this would allow the National Army to advance even further. Even Sun Yat-sen thought the same. Look, with the prestige of Marshal Sun, tens of thousands of rebels can do nothing to him. Now even the People's Army has to pay three-point salute!
It is true that the Guangdong army rebels fear Sun Yat-sen. After all, he has huge prestige and was once their leader who could not be looked up to. So Sun Yixian, dissatisfied with a regiment of guards, actually blocked the attack of tens of thousands of people. Not only did Sun himself escape safely, but even Mrs. Sun, who was surrounded by layers of guards, fought her way out under the "heroic" protection of a small group of guards.
"If Zhang Hanqing hadn't read the companion volume of "President Sun's Tragedy in Guangzhou" in his previous life, and the record dictated by Mrs. Sun, I would have really thought that he was suffering from the halo of the protagonist.
In fact, Sun Yat-sen had already received a message from Ye Ju before the Presidential Palace was surrounded. They did not want to kill him, but President Sun thought it was a threat. Later, the so-called "rebels" fired artillery, but British and American newspapers proved that they only fired three rounds of cannons as a shock. Otherwise, unless it is a reinforced concrete fortification, there is nothing that cannot be defeated. How can we let them escape calmly?
Even if the founding father escaped, how can the "mother of the nation" who has difficulty walking escape under heavy siege? However, Sun Yixian was ruthless and boarded the Yongfeng ship and fired into the city of Guangzhou
I thought the People’s Army would not dare to touch him.
The Kuomintang army marched towards Humen under the escort of warships. They planned to use this as a base to rebuild the republic. Although there were not many people, the momentum was amazing. At the moment they approached the Humen Bund, the People's Army who had rushed to receive them on the shore looked at the black muzzles of the guns on the sea and were confused: It's no problem to fight the rebels, this is Sun Dapao!
Sun Yixian was sitting in the Yongfeng ship, pointing majestically to the shore and said to Chen Ce: "Order the enemy troops on the shore to retreat immediately, otherwise all ships will fire at the shore indiscriminately!" Chen Ce was the deputy commander of the fleet and Sun's confidant. , he sent someone to contact the People's Army.
On the shore is the Yu Xuezhong Department of the 9th Division. Regarding Sun Yat-sen's ultimatum, they were hesitant: not to retreat, for fear of accidental damage; to retreat, without military orders. At this time, Yu Xuezhong was already in Guangzhou City. This unit was taken over by the deputy division commander. The battalion commander who served as the forward was also from the Tongmenghui and was in awe of Sun Yixian. However, the order he accepted was to control Humen, which made him very embarrassed. .
While explaining the situation to the envoys, he quickly sent people to the rear to ask for orders.
But Sun Yat-sen could not wait any longer. Because of the mutiny, the fleet now had strange thoughts: Chen Jiongming also had a great influence in their hearts. If Sun Yat-sen failed in the end, they would even have problems with food, wages, coal and water. Therefore, the fleet commander Wen Shude had an ambiguous attitude and was unwilling to war.
At this time, except for the three ships Haiqi, Haichen, and Zhaohe following Sun Yat-sen, the other ships were still anchored in Huangpu and the provincial capital Baietan respectively.
If you can’t create momentum yourself, it’s hard to guarantee that they will stay true to their will. I have no choice but to rely on my own reputation to gain the upper hand. After waiting for a moment, Sun Yixian ordered the flag to be fired.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????… This thing is much more powerful than the cannon of the People's Army. Not only is the sound smaller, but the crater it makes when it hits the ground is much larger than the Army's 75mm howitzer.
It was already evening when the news reached Zhang Hanqing’s ears.
It seems that the National Army is not planning to be friendly with them, or they want to gain a head start. But who is Zhang Hanqing? They are a new generation of young people who have experienced modern life, and their contempt for authority has far exceeded this era.
?We are all citizens and have the right to survive. Now that the fight has begun, no matter whether you are Sun Dapao or Er Dapao, I will still fight!
He asked angrily: "Where is our artillery regiment?"
Before entering Guangdong, because the railway could not pass directly, all the artillery units stayed in the rear and slowly moved towards Shao.The relocation was about a week slower than the infantry. Later, Chen Jiongming surrendered to the People's Army. At that time, the National Army was near Guangzhou City or in the direction of Shaoguan. It was expected that there would be no major war, so all artillery units were placed in Guangzhou City. And those who occupied various places were brisk infantry.
Except for the new recruits recruited by Hubei Province who are a little timid about Sun Yat-sen in the People's Army, the armies in the northwest and northeast regions do not recognize who he is. Part of the 9th Division was defeated, and many people were holding their breath. Now that the young marshal was angry, he was naturally elated. It was time to teach Sun Dapao, who didn't understand human accidents, a lesson.
Cannons began to be transported to the front line, not one or two, but all the artillery of the South China People's Army were concentrated to form two artillery regiments - to fight warships, the cannons were useless without them.
By this time, the Marshal's Mansion Guard Group loyal to Sun Yixian had been occupying Humen for a long time. This place, where China's first shot against foreign invaders was fired, is about to experience another artillery battle after many years.
Sense of shame and then courage. Deputy division commander Li Zhentang, who had been trained by the marshal for a long time, held back his energy. He arrived with the main force of the 9th Division overnight and launched an attack on the guard regiment during the night.
Although the guard regiment is brave, it has not encountered a real battle since the rebellion. During the day, it saw that the People's Army was easily repelled, so it relaxed its vigilance. After being charged by the outnumbered People's Army, most of them were dispersed.
On the ship, Sun Yat-sen heard the crackle of gunfire on the shore, and heard that the Guards were defeated, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and stood up. When he came to the ship, through the dark night, he could only vaguely see patches of fire on the shore. However, because it was dark, there was a risk of accidental damage if he used naval guns, so he had to wait for dawn. Listening to the gunfire that gradually dissipated, and no one came to report the news, I could only stamp my feet anxiously.
Mrs. Sun also heard the news. Sun Yat-sen asked with concern: "What are you doing up here? Go back and hide, don't tire yourself out!" Some time ago, the Presidential Palace was bombarded. Although the damage was not big, Soong Ching Ling had a miscarriage, which also caused her to never get pregnant again in her life.
Song Qingling said softly: "Yixian, let's not have a stalemate with the People's Army, right? It seems that they are not hostile to us. And haven't you always praised Zhang Hanqing for everything he did in the Northeast, which is in line with the concept of Sanpanzhuyi? ?”
Sun Yat-sen shook his head slightly, turned around, and said to her firmly: "In this case, he should deal with the aftermath quickly instead of helping Chen Jiongming to come to power. In addition, I heard that he would also send the extraordinary members of Congress back to Beijing. He Their approach is to cut off our escape route! From this point of view, I cannot accept it!"
Song Qingling has always respected her husband and never refuted Sun Yat-sen's decisions, but she mentioned: "But if the People's Army insists on doing this, what will we do?"
Sun Yat-sen said forcefully: "Then fight! Fight until he changes his mind! Since I founded the 'Xingzhonghui', I have been fighting the central government for twenty-eight years. As long as I don't give in, victory will be achieved." It must belong to us! When daybreak, I will ask all the warships of the navy to launch an indiscriminate attack on the shore, and I will not hesitate to destroy Humen!"
In the mist, the warship set fire and anchored. In the vaguely white sky, the navy saw such a spectacular scene: On the shore, at some point, two rows of black cannons were spread out, and the black muzzles pointed directly at the river. Heart, this is a heavy firepower that is extremely rare among the weak people. Even though it was a hot summer day, this formation still sent shivers down the spines of the navy.
Sun Yixian was also surprised, but he did not think that the mountain artillery used as infantry suppressive firepower could suppress the giant cannon on the warship. He also believed that the People's Army did not really dare to fire at him. Likewise, it was just a threat.
But others on the warship didn’t think so. At least Commander Wen Shude thought it was not a good sign. He used a flag to inform Sun Yat-sen: "Do you want to retreat? Please give instructions!"
What was exchanged was an unequivocal battle cry: "Follow my naval guns and fire towards the shore!"
From a distance, Zhang Hanqing used a telescope to watch the situation on the river. Beside him, the phone to the artillery regiment headquarters was connected. He ordered the staff around him: "Send a signal and let their warships sail away from the fort!"
Sun Yat-sen also issued an order to the warships: "Send a flag and ask them to surrender immediately, otherwise I will fire on all lines!"
It was deathly quiet, with both sides no longer shouting, waiting for the situation to develop.
Wen Shude could no longer bear the pressure: under the threat of superior shore artillery, and at such a close distance, the warship would suffer. He ordered the first mate: "As soon as the cannon fires, the warship will withdraw from the battle immediately!"
The sound of the cannon sounded, and the uncertain sides settled down and did what was required during training. Zhang Hanqing also sighed and ordered: "Since the fight has begun, let's fight hard, show majesty, and bring peace to the south!"
The artillery of the People's Army still suffered some losses.
Under the sharp artillery fire, especially the cruiser Haichen, which has three 150mm rapid-fire cannons, eight 105mm Krupp rapid-fire cannons, and 12 various machine guns, every time it is fired, it is like a round of fireworks all over the sky. Around the People's Army artillery position, even Zhang Hanqing could clearly hear the violent sound coming from the microphone.
I need a giant cannon! The People's Army needs larger caliber artillery! I want to build a warship! This is the cry from the bottom of Zhang Hanqing's heart.
The naval guns were so powerful that in one salvo, the artillery regiment lost five cannons, one of which was directly blown away, killing and injuring more than a dozen comrades.

Chapter 548 Sun Dapao meets the real cannon

The People's Army also fought back: hundreds of cannons fired a salvo. Soon, the Haichen was hit hard, the Yuzhang was hit, and the Chuyu was hit Since the warship was located near the bay, the army's artillery could give full play to its short-range weapons. "Advantage", at least at this moment, naval guns and land guns are almost equivalent.
"If it were in the distant sea, the artillery regiment of the People's Army would be a living target, and Zhang Hanqing would not dare to attack like this.
The counterattack soon bore fruit, and at least some of the smaller gunboats couldn't stand it anymore. Although the small-caliber mountain guns of the People's Army are not powerful enough to hit thickly armored cruisers, small gunboats can completely penetrate them at such a short distance.
It is a cruiser. The armor is thick, but it does not mean that the protection on the deck is equally powerful. Moreover, the People's Army artillery wants lethality, not necessarily to sink them. Therefore, after realizing that the situation was not right, some warships smartly began to retreat far away. This situation quickly affected friendly ships.
The most critical thing is that the armored cruiser Haiqi, with a larger tonnage than the Haichen, did not listen to orders. When the cannon was fired, it immediately increased its power and sailed to the open sea. Since the naval commander was sitting on the warship, some warships that were originally hesitant began to waver: The firepower of the People's Army is so fierce!
Seeing that several warships wanted to break away from the battle, Sun Yat-sen became anxious and ordered the flag to be raised: "Continue to attack!"
The cannons on warships have a very fast rate of fire, are easy to adjust the angle and are protected by iron armor. They also have a long range and are powerful howitzers. Unlike the mountain artillery of the artillery regiment, it has no protection and has a maximum range of six kilometers Under a stalemate, unless the warship is sunk and defeated, the shore artillery will definitely suffer, and I mean people.
Of course, if the shore and ship fight each other when shooting at close range, the warship will suffer. This is probably one of the reasons why the late Qing Dynasty vigorously developed forts instead of warships.
Naval battles are fought with determination.
Zhang Hanqing can no longer let the losses continue. These warships are the treasures of the country, and the artillery is also the thorn in their side. No matter what, this kind of cannibalism is unacceptable. He ordered: "All artillery regiments, aim at the Yongfeng ship and hit it hard. Destroy this warship. Today's battle is over!"
The Yongfeng ship is Sun Yat-sen's ship. Although there is no information, don't ask how Zhang Hanqing learned about it.
The situation changed immediately. When the Yongfeng ship received more than a dozen shots in an instant, and two holes were punched through the hull of the ship by the ferocious firepower, Captain Feng Zhaoxian felt the danger: This was only the first round, and many of the People's Army cannons were just adjusting their positions. If there was another round, Wave, his warship is very likely to be sunk.
"Death is not terrible, the problem is that Sun Yat-sen is on his ship!"
Without waiting for an order, he ordered the warship to immediately retreat at full speed and stay out of the range of the People's Army artillery. When Sun Yixian heard the news, he was about to criticize, but the damage assessment crew came to report: the warship was hit by three more shots at the rear, almost hitting the stern rudder.
If so, the Yongfeng ship will become a target for the People's Army artillery. When Sun Yixian called himself Sun Dapao again, he also knew that this was not the time to blame the captain. They were doing it for his own good! Feng Zhaoxian was responsible for the warship and President Sun Da, and he decisively ordered the retreat.
Once the flagship left, everyone stopped insisting. In a swift trail, other warships escaped from the range of the mountain cannon.
The 9th Division of the People's Army took advantage of the victory to defeat the Nationalist Army on the shore and advanced to Shekou. The other 11th Division also captured Zhuhai. At such a close distance, the navy of the French Protectorate no longer dared to patrol the inland waters of the Pearl River Estuary.
The failure of this naval battle has set the stage for the complete defeat of the French Protectorate. Navy Commander Wen Shude led the main ships to flee north to the Central Government. Later, when they anchored in Qingdao, they became directly under direct control and formed the "Bohai Fleet".
There are still some warships, such as the "Flying Eagle", who don't know where to go and have military pay issues, so they stay on the coast of Guangdong to wait and see the situation. Zhang Hanqing valued these treasures very much. He arranged for people from all walks of life to persuade them from all aspects of national responsibilities, personal interests, and practical situations, and asked them to surrender.
When the People's Army is summoned, and these captains are put together, the People's Army has a great influence anyway. The young marshal is as highly regarded as Sun Yat-sen, so he might as well surrender. After all, they still have a legitimate status. This way, they can live up to the country's favor and live up to the people, which makes sense to the outside world.
Guangdong is the place where China fired its first shot at resisting maritime invasion by foreign armies. It is necessary to create a navy of its own. So Ma Jizhuang, the captain of the "Jiang Heng" from the Northeast Jiang Defense Fleet, was ordered to form the South China Fleet. Although at this time he also had no soldiers, no generals, no money, no guns, and was alone and dusty from the busy work of the Northeast Coast Guard.
With the support of Zhang Hanqing, Chen Jiongming carried out Guangdong's economic construction in a drastic manner. He used the rare few years of peace to fully build the Zhuzhou-Shaoguan section of the railway as soon as possible.?Connecting the Guangdong-Han Line creates a strategic corridor from Wuhan to Guangzhou. To this end, Zhang Hanqing personally arranged a road payment of 10 million yuan.
The relationship between Sun and Chen remained unsolved until their death. However, when Sun Yat-sen passed away later, Chen Jiongming sent an elegiac couplet: "Only a hero can live and kill. The merits and demerits have their own eternal history; they fought again and again with their hometown. Public enmity and private friendship can only be known with an inch of pure heart." He expressed his ambition and the righteousness of fighting for the country.
From a political point of view, each is his own master, and there is no right or wrong; from a historical point of view, it is a respectable sentiment to abandon personal grudges in order to unify the country.
Relying on the traditional advantages of southeastern trade, South China will soon become another strategic base of the People's Army after northwest and central China. Zhang Hanqing is very confident about this. Moreover, after this battle, Sun Yat-sen was already disillusioned with the Kuomintang army. He probably would not have the confidence to continue his "Northern Expedition" from here, right?
As long as the Guangxi clique does not have large-scale conflicts with the People's Army, it will be relatively safe here.
Both Northern Expeditionary armies failed to escape the attack of the People's Army. The army that set out from Shaoguan to Guangxi was defeated by the 4th Division of the People's Army and most of them surrendered. Zhang Fakui, Deng Yanda and others entered Guangxi alone, and then prepared to move to Hanoi and enter Hong Kong| Hong Kong prepares to join Sun Yat-sen.
However, in order to preserve the "fire" of the National Revolution, Sun Yat-sen ordered them to stay in Guangxi and wait for opportunities to grow. However, Xu Chongzhi and others who set off from Boluo to meet at sea did not have such good luck, and were completely wiped out under the attack of the People's Army. , including the famous Gu Zhutong, Qian Dajun, Wei Lihuang
Keep people on the front line so that we can meet in the future. Zhang Hanqing had no intention of beating them and wasting food, so he sent them all out with gifts and allowed them to join Sun Yat-sen.
Sun Yat-sen felt that the situation was over and retreated to Shanghai more than a month in advance. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was still on the sea route to aid Guangdong. Whether the two could still meet as they did in official history is unknown and is not the subject of this book.
However, after Sun Yat-sen was defeated in Shanghai for the second time, he also expressed the same sadness that "the south and the north are of the same species"! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 555 Is there blood?

There was trouble in the south, so Zhang Hanqing went north.
"The Zhili-Fengtian war that was supposed to come has been delayed in starting. Could it be because of my own series of interferences that caused the wheel of history to shift a little bit, from quantitative changes to qualitative changes, thereby eliminating this scourge for China forever?" If so, China is very lucky!
"However, to prepare for a rainy day, it is important to prepare the People's Army well first. It is serious to be strong, not to mention that defeating the Zhili will not be the primary goal in the future. After all, the worst situation in history was to defeat it. He has now turned his attention to unifying the country and challenging the great powers.
The People's Army has expanded too fast, causing staff work, political training mechanisms, and logistical support to fail to keep up with demand. In particular, the lack of a large number of middle- and lower-level officers with military experience and talent is a flaw.
Why is Germany so militarily strong? Is it because they have a world-class staff team? Why has Britain dominated the sea for hundreds of years? Because they have the world's top military officers. The good system has enabled the emergence of an endless stream of military talents in their country. China cannot yet compete with them and can only follow the standard path of establishing military academies.
For Wuhan Military Academy, Zhang Hanqing spent a lot of money: it is true that the People's Army lacks military and political cadres, but he still transferred hundreds of school-level and more than 400 lieutenant-level officers from various ministries to form the first batch of trainees. The more manpower is scarce, the more conditions must be created. Otherwise, when the People's Army expands in the near future, the demand for talents will become even more of a bottleneck.
There are only 23 divisions in the company, which is far from enough to defend the country. Before and after World War II, each country of the great powers had millions of soldiers and hundreds of divisions. It was only a dozen years later. By then, most of these junior officers who had undergone formal training were already division commanders, right? Don't just improvise.
The Northeast Martial Arts Lecture Hall is in a state of turmoil, which depends on my foresight. It started early, the Northeast was a place where groups formed early, the transportation is convenient, and the training has become systematic. Therefore, the military quality of the officers of the Fengjun Army is higher than that of the People's Army, although the officers of the People's Army have a higher level of education.
So when the Wuhan Military Academy was first established, he obtained Zhang Zuolin’s consent and transferred a group of experienced instructors from the Northeast Lecture Hall. However, Zhang Cheng and Xiao Qixuan, the chief of education, who were the main pillars, could not move: the Northeast Martial Arts Hall was the foundation of the Fengcian system, and there was no one who could replace them for the time being, and the senior commanders could not free their hands to do it themselves.
There was no other way but to entrust Jiang Baili. He had a wide network of contacts in the Republic of China and had also served as the principal of Baoding Military Academy. If it weren't for the fact that his responsibilities were also very important, Zhang Hanqing would have wanted to transfer him to take charge.
Fortunately, Jiang Baili recommended a few people, which made Zhang Hanqing satisfied.
They are all famous figures in the history of the Republic of China, such as Yang Jie and Zhang Xiaozhun. Yang Jie was on his way back to Wuhan from Japan and took up the post of education director in Zhang Hanqing's plan. However, there was no news about Zhang Xiaozhen, which made him very depressed. When the train arrived in Changsha, he decided to meet this strange man in person who he had not yet met.
The sun is scorching like fire and the trees are shady. Two different perspectives correspond to different realms. On the east bank of the Xiangjiang River, Zhang Xiaozhun was thinking about the letters sent by Chiang Kai-shek from hundreds of miles away.
Both graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School and were ranked among the "Three Outstanding Non-Commissioned Officers". Cai Esi has passed away, but left behind an immortal legend; Jiang Baili met the Northeastern Marshal and turned into a dragon by riding the wind; only he looked at his pot-bellied self and sighed. A sound.
At that time, Jin Ge Iron Horse and followed Huang Xing's alliance to assist the establishment of the Republic of China and played for Sun and Huang's two -time revolution. As for helping Cai E escape, he did it all by himself. How dangerous and joyful was it? However, during the warlord civil war, his close friends Huang Xing and Cai E died within two months of each other. He was running around here and there, but he still made no achievements, and no one appreciated what he had learned.
Discouraged by the military and political affairs, he returned to Hunan from Shanghai and became the director of the Hunan Bank. In the past five years, he concentrated on business and gained weight. Only in the dead of night, I thought about my passion to serve the country through military service, and that I wanted to abandon military service and go into business.
He was still hesitant when his old friend Jiang Baili sent a letter inviting him to join the People's Army. He is no stranger to the People's Army. As a powerful force that has suddenly emerged in recent years, it is still too far to pacify the northwest. However, the surprise attack on Hankou made the military strongman Wu Peifu slow down step by step. He attacked Changsha and entered Anhui, Jiangxi and Guangdong in one go. His skill in capturing time and his accuracy in grasping opportunities should be regarded as top-notch military skills. But what really impressed him was his vision in establishing the Wuhan Military Academy. This is the man who does great things!
Zhang Hanqing has elite soldiers and generals under him, and he knows people well and dares to use talents outside his department in an eclectic way: appointing Xia Shoukang in Hubei, Xu Shiying in Anhui, and Chen Jiongming in Guangdong, miraculously making these places stable Change of ownership, this is an unusually popular figure.?Sight can do it. It's just that he has been out of the military for a long time. Can he be reused under the command of the young marshal?
He thinks too much. Zhang Xiaozhun was still shocked when Zhang Hanqing in military uniform appeared in front of him. Unexpectedly, the young marshal who became famous in Chinese political circles would brave the scorching sun and come to his workplace in person. The water in the Xiangjiang River is hot, but Zhang Hanqing is meticulous, his whole body is already soaked, and his moral code is still very tight. He couldn't help but think of Jiang Baili's words: "The young marshal knows people and is good at assigning tasks, and he has the legacy of Liu Bei."
To be honest, when Zhang Hanqing first saw the fat Zhang Xiaozhun wearing a vest, wiping sweat with a towel and drinking strong tea, he still despised him from the bottom of his heart: Is this still the Three Heroes of Beiyang? He has the body of a rural uncle and landlord! But with respect for historical figures, and since I’m here, I’ll do my best to show off.
He looked at a couplet on the door that was already mottled and withered, and read leisurely: "'Only the true can be bloody, and a hero must be seen from his true colors.' I wonder if Zhang Runong now still has the bloody nature of the past?"
This is Zhang Xiaozhun’s most cherished calligraphy work, which was given to him by Huang Xing, who admired him the most. He couldn't bear to hang it up, so he asked someone to hang it in his office as a souvenir. Over the years, even the handwriting has turned yellow, which is also a reflection of his yellow heart.
Zhang Xiaozhun smiled bitterly. After experiencing a low point in his life, he no longer had the passion to argue with Zhang Hanqing, and it was useless to argue. He smiled slightly and said, "It's just me talking about being a teenager. I can't take it seriously." But from the inadvertent glance at the couplet, Zhang Hanqing could still see his unwillingness.
He smiled and said: "I came here because I heard from Brother Baili that there is a good-hearted man on the left bank of the Xiangjiang River: he traveled to Japan as a young man and earned face for the Chinese in the Army Military Academy! He was maintained in Berlin He went to university and learned both Chinese and Western knowledge; he made great contributions to the founding of the Republic of China, and he traveled all over the world to win over Yuan Dong; he saved my good friend Cai E; he was able to maintain a benevolent heart in troubled times. I came here just to know, Such a good man, does he still have the blood?!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

As his wish came true, Zhang Xiaozhun followed Zhang Hanqing without any regrets or taking away a single cloud
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We hold him so high, and it would be offensive to him to show off, but fortunately, Zhang Xiaozhun is not such a person. For the reputation of being a world-famous young marshal, for Jiang Baili's face, and because of his unwillingness to do so, he wanted to return to the army and do something.
His job is a bit of a headache: he is not as famous as the other two "Three Heroes of Non-Commissioned Officers", Jiang Baili and Cai E, and he does not seem to have any theoretical works or front-line combat experience, but he was the director of the Military Affairs Department of the Nanjing Left-behind Prefecture in the early Republic of China. , the one left behind at that time was Huang Xing. After leaving the military, he served as director of the Xiang'an Bureau of Transportation. During his tenure, he acted impartially and did not appoint private individuals, so he had a good reputation.
From several aspects, what position should a person who is ambitious but talented be appointed to?
Low, I am afraid that he has ideas, and he will murmore himself in this way: Jiang Baili, who is all his classmates, is already the general Senate and Director of the National Defense Science and Technology Working Committee, which is equivalent to the level of the Minister of Defense. The reputation of "Three Outstanding Military Officers of Beiyang" is still very good. Using him will have the effect of "buying horse bones for a thousand gold"; if it is too high, I am afraid that he will be unfamiliar with the business due to long-term absence from the military. These are extraordinary times, and the cost of improper employment is high.
Well, the position should be fulfilling, it should appear to have a high title, and it should have some specific things to do. Let’s take a look at his abilities first, and then make adjustments according to the situation.
Didn’t he study defense economics at the University of Berlin in Germany? Then you must have some understanding of the strategic and tactical thinking of foreign armies. Where is the help to the People's Army reflected in it? Let me give him the title of "Director of the Strategic Research Office" of the People's Army. Such a major general cannot escape. As for specific matters, Hanyang Arsenal will be the main equipment of the People's Army in the future. He has business experience, let him do it Supervise it.
Not to mention, after many years of employing people, he has a very accurate view on the use of talents. After Zhang Xiaozhun took office, after several days of observation, he drastically cut down the old rifle production line and concentrated manpower and material resources on the production of cannons that the People's Army currently lacked.
He contacted the Lanzhou Ordnance Factory under the jurisdiction of Xu Lanzhou and transferred the old machines to them - which was also a good thing for them in the impoverished northwest. The Lanzhou Ordnance Factory mainly produced rifles.
He made full and efficient use of the machines transferred from Shenyang: Hanyang Arsenal implemented three shifts, with one day off every Sunday to maintain the machines. From raw materials to production quality to the effective operation of equipment, he uses strict systems to ensure it. He used several "rule-abiding" people to serve as supervisors at each stage. In addition, in order to ensure the stable operation of the factory, Zhang Xiaozhun also built a separate power plant through the provincial governor Xia Shoukang, and soon formulated an expansion plan for the arsenal. As long as there is a machine, there is no problem in investment.
This made Zhang Hanqing very happy and strengthened his confidence in making Hanyang Arsenal bigger and stronger. He calculated that the current production capacity of 5 cannons and 6 mortars per month is no problem. If there is another opportunity to ship a batch of machines from Shenyang, the capacity can be doubled.
The appointment of another Yang Jie, whom the Japanese call one of China's three and a half military strategists, is much easier: he is famous and capable. The so-called "three and a half" military strategists are Jiang Baili, Bai Chongxi, and Yang Jie. The "half" is Liu Bocheng, one of the top ten marshals in history: he only has one eye left for the revolution.
Yang Jie has rich practical experience in the warlord wars of the previous ten years and has repeatedly defeated powerful enemies. He once worked side by side with Cai E to defeat Yuan, and later served as a military advisor to the Presidential Palace in Beijing together with Jiang Baili and Jiang Dengxuan, and also served as an advisor to the Ministry of War. He originally wanted to fulfill his desire to serve the country militarily, but after seeing the darkness in Beijing's officialdom, he soon returned to Yunnan and served as chief of staff of the 4th Army of the Jingguo Allied Forces. Zhu De was his subordinate.
However, he believed that his passion for serving the country was thrown into the chaos of warlords. As the Republic of China deteriorated day by day, he gave up his desire to win. Coinciding with the death of his father, he resigned as a member of the later Jingguo Allied Forces. |As the commander-in-chief of the Central Army and commander of the Luzhou garrison, he returned to his hometown to observe filial piety.
But he never gave up his desire to serve the country militarily. During his stay in Sichuan, he paid great attention to Zhang Hanqing's activities, and he also admired the Fengcian's tough attitude toward Japan and its self-reliance construction approach. After Gu Pinzhen became the governor of Yunnan last year, he was appointed to supervise students studying in Japan in Yunnan Province to go to Japan. This is his second visit to Japan.
He had great doubts about learning from the West and believed that in order to complete the national revolution, the root of the evil nature of relying on foreigners must be completely eradicated. He is also wary of Japan. He pointed out at a recent New Year's Eve student dinner: "Japan's ambition to invade China has become more aggressive and uncontrollable."
Jiang Baili strongly invited him to come out, and he was a little tempted. The Fengtian clique’s campaign in Northeast China became popular and was praised by many parties; the People’s Party, with its excellent organizational skills and propaganda,?? capabilities are becoming more and more influential in China; the People's Army and Fengjun have the ability to unify the country. For him, a military leader who puts national interests first, how to contribute to the country is the most important. Although he is now very inclined to Sun Yat-sen's teachings.
If it weren’t for Jiang Baili’s invitation, he would have stayed in Japan for three years. Then he resolutely gave up his title of lieutenant general and entered the 15th phase of the Japanese Army University as a lieutenant colonel to further his studies, earning the reputation of a “genius general”. It is said that the emperor later had his head measured and thought it was larger than the average person.
Later history evaluated him as "not only an outstanding military commander, but also an outstanding military theorist and educator. He has been engaged in military theoretical research and military education for a long time, and has made great achievements in creating China's strategic and tactical theories. He has also played an important role in transforming the Chinese army. , and put forward many important strategies to improve its combat effectiveness."
How could you not keep such a talent under your command? Jiang Baili's personal letter and the realization of the young marshal's thirst for talent made Yang Jie accept the olive branch. The People's Army is his own private property. Yang Jie was appointed as the director of education of Wuhan Military Academy, second only to himself as the "principal", and actually presided over school affairs.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together
Of course, Yang Jie did not live up to the high expectations. In less than two years, he succeeded Zhang Hanqing as the principal of the Wuhan Military Academy. He was promoted from lieutenant general to general without going to the battlefield, and was promoted two levels in a row. He was known as It is called "the official fortune is prosperous and skyrocketing". Both he and Jiang Baili were recommended by young marshals. They neither achieved military merit nor directly led troops in the Feng Dynasty, but they were able to control the generals in terms of military rank.
In this regard, Zhang Hanqing’s reason is: Although he is highly skilled in killing enemies, he can cultivate heroes of hundreds, thousands, or ten thousand people, but he is the soul of creating the People’s Army. By writing military works, Yang Jie can achieve the effect of using a pen to attack the enemy.
God has regained his strength, so of course he must use talents in an eclectic way. Zhang Hanqing doesn't stick to his party, belief, or origin. As long as he is useful to the country and willing to contribute to the country, he will vigorously promote him and give him various conveniences. What's wrong with that? People's hearts are full of flesh. As long as they realize that the People's Party and the People's Army are really fighting for the Republic of China and the Chinese nation, they are not afraid that they will not be of one mind with us in the end.
This approach was not only unprecedented in the Northeast Army, but also rare among the armies ruled by the old and new warlords in the north and south at that time. At that time, everyone said that if a young commander knows his talents, cherishes his talents, and uses his talents in an eclectic way, he will become a great weapon.

After inspecting the work, Zhang Hanqing was very pleased, especially when he saw Yang Jie quickly getting into the role. In the past few days, he discussed future military actions and political strategies with Yang Jie, Han Linchun, Wang Yizhe, Ji Yiqiao and other senior people's army officials. They all believed that this was a rare good opportunity for China and a time for the people's army to recuperate. However, This refers to the northwest and southeast.
The People's Army still needs to deploy a group of elite soldiers and generals to seize the opportunity to develop in Shandong and Jiangsu, especially Shandong, which guards the important Jinpu Line. It is the fastest and safest route for the People's Army to return to the Northeast. A close connection is of great significance.
As for Japan’s huge interests in Shandong, will it conflict with the People’s Army? Yang Jie is a rare Japanese sect. He believes that Japan is not yet ready for a war with China. As long as China strengthens its beliefs and is united, Japan, which is already trapped in the Far East, will not have the power to challenge China.
In the Far East, as the situation of the Soviet Russian government improved after 1921, the regime gradually consolidated. At this time, Japan was experiencing domestic financial difficulties due to the huge military expenditures incurred by sending troops to Siberia, and the people's anti-war public opinion was rising. Under this situation, there were also differences within the ruling group on the policy of sending troops to Siberia. The Japanese government had no choice but to propose talks to the Far Eastern Republic government in July to resolve disputes between the two parties in an attempt to achieve its goal through diplomatic channels.
One month before the meeting, Japan signed an agreement with the officers under the leader of the Belarusian army Semyonov. The main content is: "Japan wants to use the consent of the generals of Semyonov's faction to occupy Vladivostok, Shuangchengzi and the Middle East Railway , and wants to control all hunting, fishing and forest rights in Maritime Province, Sakhalin and other provinces, control mineral and gold mineral rights in Maritime Province and Amur Province, and finally eliminate the Far Eastern Republic."
The above facts show the sincerity of the talks between Japan and the Far Eastern Republic. It is conceivable that the subsequent Dalian Conference will end in failure.
On August 26 of the same year, representatives from both sides held a meeting in Dalian. In addition to refusing to withdraw its troops, Japan also proposed some harsh conditions and demands, which were rejected by the delegation of the Far Eastern Republic, and the talks were suspended on April 16.
During and after the Dalian Conference, Japan did not relax its aggression in the Far East. From the end of October to the beginning of December, Japan supported the White Guard troops led by the bandit Bochilev to go to Kamchatka and occupied Gishga, Petrobav, and Lovsk. During the meeting, the Japanese government refused to withdraw Japanese troops from the Coastal Province and expanded the occupied area to move beyond the boundaries of the neutral zone.
However, the situation on the Far Eastern Front soon improved. On February 12, 1922, the Far Eastern Republic army defeated the White Guards near Vrochayevsk and liberated Khabarovsk on February 14. The victory of the People's Revolutionary Army and the guerrillas and the intensification of internal and external conflicts in Japan forced the Japanese government to renegotiate with the Far Eastern Republic and Soviet Russia.
This is the difficult situation faced by Japan, and it is one of the reasons why they were forced to abandon Shandong. Another reason is the strong public opinion in China. The signing of the "Regulations on Solving Uncensored Cases in Shandong" gave the People's Army confidence to enter Shandong.
For three consecutive days, they discussed the situation and the development of the People's Army and the Fengtian faction in the stuffy principal's office. When it came to an end, Zhang Xiaozhun was wet again. Although the night turned cooler, the majesty of the autumn tiger still tortured Zhang Xiaozhun during the day.
Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw this talented man who was said to be very brave before turning into the fat official he is now. Wuhan is China's big furnace. If you stay indoors for a long time, you will inevitably die of sweltering heat. There is no air conditioning in this world, and fans are still a rarity. The only way to relieve the heat is to swim.
There is no shortage of water here: the Han River flows into the Yangtze River here, and there is also the vast East Lake. In my previous life, I had been here on a business trip, visited the Yellow Crane Tower, Turtle and Snake Mountains, swam through the East Lake, and walked across the Wuhan Bridge. What was Wuhan like 80 years ago?
With rare free time, Zhang Hanqing said to everyone with great interest: "I came to Wuhan and haven't taken a good look at the scenery here. I also want to take a swim in the Yangtze River."
Han Linchun smiled and said, "That's not possible. Although the river here is not wide, the water flow is still quite large in summer and autumn."
Zhang Hanqing does not believe in evil. Grandpa Mao was still able to swim in the Yangtze River at the age of seventy-three. I am only in my twenties and my body is in the prime of life. I have not been exploited by women in the past few years. Why can't I swim? Besides, I didn’t swim across the Yangtze River! As soon as he thought about it, he ordered Jiang Huanan: "Assign two good watermen to accompany me, and get a boat to follow from a distance, and then everything will be fine."
Knowing his character, Wang Yizhe stopped trying to persuade him. He quietly called Huang Xiansheng, the director of the Security Department of the Central China People's Army Headquarters: "According to the marshal's deployment, get a few more boats, both front and rear, and pay attention to the appropriate distance. Don't make waves. In addition, arrange dozens of local guards with good water skills to follow closely.A poem to commemorate this unusual departure. However, Xiao Zhang didn't have the patience to make new ones. At this time, the advantages of time travel appeared: Didn't Grandpa Mao have a song "Qinyuan Chun-Changsha"? Isn’t it similar to changing the Xiangjiang River into the Hanjiang River and the Orange Island into Parrot Island? The key artistic conception is also similar!
This is the famous ancient poem "Qinyuan Chun-Hanyang" that must be mentioned in the history of literature:
In the cold autumn of Independence, the Han River goes north to the head of Parrot Island. See the mountains all red, the forests all dyed, the rivers full of green, and hundreds of boats competing in the current. Eagles strike in the sky, fish fly in the shallows, and all kinds of frost compete for freedom in the sky. With a melancholy outline, I asked the boundless earth, who is responsible for the ups and downs?
Bai Cou Shi Zeng, recalled that the past years were thick. Qia was a classmate of a young boy who was in his prime, vigorous as a scholar, and scolded Fang Qiu. Pointing to the country, inspiring words, and the dung of thousands of households. Have you ever remembered that when you hit the water in the middle of the current, the waves stopped the boat?

After seeing the tremendous power of warships in person, Zhang Hanqing felt that he should do something.
?????????????????????????????????? If I purchased two old and small American warships just as a meeting gift to build relations with them, in the future I can’t live by giving gifts, right? His idea is to establish this shipyard in Wuhan.
Originally, shipyards should be located near the sea. For example, the current Jiangnan Shipyard and the former Dalian Shipyard are among the best in China. In this way, warships with slightly larger tonnage can also be built. Being located in Wuhan is really a last resort.
The world is quite unstable. There is still a long way to go before we can abolish all unequal treaties, which will also affect the interests of the great powers. Regardless of their current tolerance for Fengcianism, once the country declares complete independence, those people will fall out of favor faster than they can read a book. It is not unprecedented in history. These important facilities near the sea will be the first targets of their attacks. It is difficult for the army alone to protect or effectively protect these places. That would be a big price. After all, shipbuilding is not about building people. It requires a lot of machinery and equipment.
Now the People's Army does not need large warships: firstly, it has no ability, secondly, it has no money, and thirdly, there is no need——it has not even driven away the evil people in its own country's territory, and the army's strength is not enough, so what should we spend the money on? You must know that the navy is a large system, and a navy without scale only plays a nominal role.
It is possible to build a small warship. First, it costs less, and second, because the tonnage is not large, it can be swam to the sea through the Yangtze River. With the current Yangtze River route, there is no problem for a three-thousand-ton ship to reach Shanghai, and a three- to four-thousand-ton ship is already considered a cruiser-class ship in China. Besides, China's more than 2,000-ton "Yuan" class submarines in later generations were built in Wuhan, so it should be feasible here.
Zhang Hanqing plans to start establishing a real navy after returning to Shenyang. Now he is making corresponding preparations in Wuhan: power system, steel rolling capacity, naval gun production, and personnel training.
The navy is a money-burning branch, and it won’t be able to complete its transformation in less than 20 to 30 years. Wuhan has very good conditions: Hanyeping Company, which produces iron and coal, is here, which solves the resource problem and leaves only the corresponding machinery and equipment.
Speaking of Hanyeping, we cannot fail to mention its status in China's industrial production. The Hanyeping Company, which was jointly established and commercialized in 1908 by Hanyang Iron Works, Daye Iron Mine, and Pingxiang Coal Mine, has historically been known as the "Cradle of Chinese Steel."
In addition to the above entities, Han Yeping’s main peripheral companies include the Shanghai head office, Tokyo office, and Chongqing Steel Plant. Its operating characteristics are linked to "peripheral enterprises": for example, China Merchants Group (the Qing government, not the China Merchants Group in Northeast China) injects capital into it to help the company transport materials, ores, etc.; China Commercial Bank manages and operates funds and agents for it. Collect the price of railway tracks; China Railway Corporation orders rails from it and develops the market for steel products.
In addition, the Japanese-owned Yokohama Shokin Bank, which provides it with a large amount of loans, and the Yawata Iron Works, which purchases a large amount of iron ore from the company, also have an important impact on its operations.
By the eve of the Revolution of 1911, Hanyeping Company had 7,000 employees and produced nearly 70,000 tons of steel, more than 500,000 tons of iron ore, and 600,000 tons of coal annually, accounting for 90% of the Qing government's annual steel production and controlling the country. The company was equivalent to controlling the heavy industry of the Qing government, which is why the Japanese spared no effort to occupy shares and control funds in it.
From the time when Sheng Xuanhuai set up the Hanyang Iron Works to the eve of the Revolution of 1911, Hanyeping Company borrowed foreign debts 6 times out of 12 times. The Japanese borrowed 6 out of 12 foreign debts. Of the total 32 million yuan in silver, 10 million was self-raised, and more than 10 million were raised. The borrowed capital was Japanese capital, which later turned into investment. They have very harsh conditions in the loan contract: except for the Hanyang Iron Works’ own use of iron sand, the rest should be given priority to the Japanese; the selling price of iron sand is negotiated by both parties and is not affected by the international market; Japan’s Yawat Iron Works can pre-purchase
Because it lacks funds and cannot operate independently, Japanese debt is an important source of funds. This also provides convenience for the Japanese to indirectly control the company. This is why it has been criticized by the Chinese people with rising nationalism. Fortunately, after Zhang Hanqing entered the northwest, he negotiated to acquire 51% of the shares of Hanyang Iron Works through the Northeast Iron and Steel Corporation in 1920. Hanyang Iron Works had the opportunity to get rid of Japan's dominance to a certain extent.
The general manager at this time, Sheng Enyi, was the fourth son of Sheng Xuanhuai, known as the "Father of Chinese Industry" and the "Father of Chinese Business".
Sheng Xuanhuai was a strange figure in the business world at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. The famous red-top businessman Hu Xueyan was killed by him. He also set eleven firsts in China:
The first civilian joint-stock enterprise, China Merchants Shipbuilding Company (in later generations, China Merchants Group and China Merchants Bank were derived);
The first telegraph bureau, China Telegraph General Administration;
The first river steamboat company;
The first bank is China Commercial Bank;
No.sp; This man bowed repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I went to bed too late last night. I didn't expect the young marshal and Governor Xia to come to this place in person." While urging the secretary, "How can you entertain distinguished guests with this kind of tea?" Bring me my Lion Peak!”
?? Shifeng is the best of West Lake Longjing. It is produced in the Shifeng area of ??Longjing Village. It is known as the four unique features of "green color, rich fragrance, mellow taste and beautiful shape". The "sky-high price tea" that Zhang Hanqing had heard of before was Mingqiantou tea priced at 180,000 yuan per catty, which was comparable to gold.
I only heard about it in my previous life, but now I have the opportunity to taste it myself. You can imagine my feelings. It is said that his net worth is not less than one billion now, and he should be a super rich man worth hundreds of billions in future generations, but he has always been active in the military and has no time for luxury.

Chapter 559 Doing Business (Part 1)

Luxury goods indeed have their own reasons. Zhang Hanqing felt comfortable smelling this tea. Although it was still very hot outside, the smell of tea made me feel refreshed, and the heat on my body felt like it had dissipated a lot.
Looking at Xia Shoukang, his movements of holding up the tea cup and gently scraping off the floating leaves were really elegant, much more elegant than his own movements of holding a cup and drinking. Only then did I remember that I was considered to be a member of the upper class, so why did I act so shamelessly?
“However, he has never received this kind of training since he was a child. Why is it so awkward for him to learn the postures of the upper class in movies? Sure enough, a dandy also has the capital of a dandy, and an aristocratic family has the confidence of an aristocratic family. There are some things that cannot be learned through study!
Xia Shoukang knew his true nature as a soldier and that his father was a bandit, so he didn't find his actions despicable. But it was Sheng Enyi's beautiful secretary's chuckle that reminded Zhang Hanqing that this was the Republic of China, so of course he had to behave accordingly. For these young masters, this kind of discourtesy would be laughed at behind their backs.
He glanced at this expressionless secretary, who was wearing heavy makeup. I’m afraid he wasn’t just a secretary, right? With just a brief glance, the murderous aura formed over a long period of time on the battlefield made the secretary's heart tremble, and all his thoughts of ridicule flew out of the sky.
It occurred to me that the person in front of me was no ordinary guest, he was a warlord with the power of life and death! He was the big shot who drove away the two warlords Wang Zhanyuan and Tan Yankai in succession! It was Zhang Dapao who even Sun Yat-sen dared to bombard!
With panic, the secretary quickly poured the tea diligently. Zhang Hanqing waved to him pretending to be arrogant, but he did not get angry at her: with his identity, challenging such a woman is an act that ignites his identity! I've scared her just now, so I might as well teach her a lesson.
“You can’t pretend to be gentle anymore, and you can’t pretend to be cool anymore, so let’s pretend to be cool. He casually threw the tea cup away, crossed his legs, and said calmly to Xia Shoukang's surprised eyes: "I won't drink the tea anymore. It just tastes like that." He looked indifferent, huh, it's not that I'm not cool. , but this tea is too bad!
I was secretly heartbroken: "What a good tea, why is it so hot? I just took a small sip!"
Unexpectedly, his pretense suited Sheng Enyi's taste.
Who is Sheng Laoliu? People who grew up with golden keys in their mouths naturally don’t think this tea is so precious. What is the identity of the young marshal? Think about how his family situation is worse than mine? This style of painting is in line with the posture of one of his four young masters, and he can't help but feel sympathy for each other and think that he is the same.
No matter how young he is, he still needs to understand the series of movements of the People's Army in Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong and Anhui. The entire Han Yeping is on their territory. It's just that the two of them rarely interact. Even if they want to get close, the young commander has to have time.
However, when the young marshal suddenly condescended to come in person, he was still a little confused: The Sheng family is rich if they are rich, but who is this family? He was a young marshal who controlled the military and political affairs of more than a dozen provinces, a powerful man who could influence government affairs. He might not be richer than him, and the key person still had hundreds of thousands of guns! If the people do not fight with the officials, they will not even dare to offend them. This is a wise saying!
My father talked about the relationship between government and businessmen more than once when he was alive. In the past, he just listened to the talk and didn't have much experience. In recent years, through what happened in his Pingxiang Coal Mine, he finally realized the power of these warlords with heavy troops. .
As the saying goes, no matter what happens, go to the Three Treasures Palace. If you have any requirements that you can satisfy, then work hard and consider them. If you make friends with the young marshal, you are much better than anyone else!
He followed Zhang Hanqing's words and said: "What kind of person is the young marshal? What kind of tea has he never drunk? But in this remote country, I can only make do with drinking. It's better than nothing."
Xia Shoukang coughed.
What is all this about? Doesn’t this make people enjoy their tea? You two are well-off, but not all of you here are well-off!
??Look at Wang Yizhe, who is considered to be one of the top figures in the military and political institutions of Central China. He drinks tea so neatly, and he is not afraid of burning his mouth when he takes a big sip. Do you think it is boiled water?
Like Zhu Guangmu, your future father-in-law’s family is considered to be famous, but why can’t you be more polite when this son-in-law is sipping his tea cup like he’s taking advantage?
Zhang Hanqing leaned on his back and said comfortably: "Governor Xia and I are here to discuss some business with Mr. Sheng." In this life, he can finally talk and do business with "social sages" at the "general" level. Doing business made Zhang Hanqing feel cool.
Although Sheng Enyi claimed to be the second best playboy and no one dared to call him the first, when he met Zhang Hanqing, who was more powerful than him, he seemed to be much more low-key: "The business that the young marshal is talking about must be great. I don’t know if I can give someone a chance to have sex.?? "
He is from Shanghai, and his phrase "incredible" is very smooth and uniquely Shanghainese.
Zhang Hanqing smiled.
Specific economic matters are the duty of the provincial governor Xia Shoukang. Zhang Hanqing has always believed that everyone should perform their own duties, use them if they succeed, and replace them if they fail. As for personal guidance, that is a thing of the past.
Xia Shoukang had been planning for a long time and had discussed it with Zhang Hanqing many times. Now when he spoke, it came naturally and without any involvement: "Mr. Sheng is the general manager of Han Yeping. What we discussed is in the company." Within the scope of business: steel supply, coal mine joint venture.
The first is steel supply. We need to discuss with General Manager Sheng about the supply of Hankou Iron Works in several areas: for the construction of the western Longhai Line and the Han-Guangdong Railway, we need Hankou Iron Works to supply rails; for the expansion of Hanyang Arsenal and Wuhan Shipyard, we need the need for a continued supply of high-quality steel;
In addition, we have planned to build a road-rail dual-use bridge on the river between Guishan in Hanyang and Snake Mountain in Wuchang. These are all moves that benefit the country and the people. Mr. Sheng started the industry in order to rejuvenate the country. I don’t think Fourth Master Sheng would disagree, right? We know that your company has signed priority reservation rights for steel with the Japanese, but we hope to ensure our needs first.
The other is coal.
We know that Pingxiang Coal Mine is facing big problems and we have already started to solve them. However, administration alone cannot eradicate the problem. There is also a strong relationship between the government and the livelihood of local people.
We plan to allocate funds from the Jiangxi Provincial Government to jointly operate the Pingxiang Coal Mine to increase production. Because the government comes forward to organize, it can also put an end to the phenomenon of private digging and indiscriminate mining. Jiangxi and I will negotiate on this matter. "
He is the governor of Hubei Province. If the young marshal agrees, it should not be a problem in Jiangxi.
But these two problems are tricky. Even though Sheng Enyi grew up with a golden key in his mouth and was not a business material at all, he still knew that these two things were of great significance.
Looking around Central China, the only one that can produce steel is the Hanyang Iron Works. Although the steel production in Northeast China far exceeds all the production produced by Han Yeping, it is still a long way away. Moreover, there will be more opportunities to use steel in the country in the future. If the existing Hankou Iron Works is not used, it will not always be produced from the Northeast, right?
At the same time, under the planning of the northwest people's provincial governments, the construction of the railway from Xi'an to Baoji has been completed, connecting the railway from Baoji to Tianshui. The west side is laid from Tianshui to Lanzhou, and the east side is extended from Xi'an to Tongguan. It is planned to be connected to Luoyang when possible to complete the Longhai Railway, an important artery connecting the west, central and east.
Because of the continuous wars in history, it was not until 1953 after the founding of the People's Republic of China that the entire line was completed. It is really a shame for the country and a tragedy for the nation!
Zhang Hanqing suffered too much during the Spring Festival in his previous life and was determined to build a railway network with developed transportation. The completion of the Longhai Railway will give the four divisions of the Northwest People's Army full mobility, which is of extraordinary significance to the construction and development of the central and western regions now and in the future.
The Zhuzhou to Shaoguan section failed to start due to various reasons, resulting in the Han-Guangdong Railway only reaching Zhuzhou. This abruptly interrupted the connection between Central China and South China. This is why Sun Yat-sen's military-protecting military government can exist in Guangdong for a long time. one of the reasons.
In addition, in theory, the reason why the Beijing-Guangdong Railway is currently also called the Beijing-Hankong and Han-Guangdong Railway is because there is no bridge on the Yangtze River in Wuhan, and the fluctuation range of the Yangtze River water level in Wuhan is twice that of Nanjing, so the cross-strait bridge approach project is more difficult. , so the ferry train is not realistic at this stage. If you go further south, you can only take it to Hankou and then cross the river to transfer, which not only seriously affects efficiency, but also causes trouble for people.
Therefore, railway tracks and railway bridges are major unfavorable factors restricting traffic in areas controlled by the People's Army. Zhang Hanqing decided to speed up the completion of this task in his hands.
Sheng Enyi was very distressed. With Japan's current economic downturn, being able to take care of the People's Army's business when its purchases were reduced was a very profitable way, but it was difficult for him to do: the Japanese wanted to monopolize its steel plants. Produced, that agreement was not signed in vain.
But it doesn’t seem right to reject the suggestions from the Young Marshal and Governor Xia—it’s just a suggestion, but it’s obviously already been decided. Don’t you see the Young Marshal’s confident attitude and Xia Shoukang’s determination to win? Speaking of which, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and it also has benefits for Han Yeping's growth. If they refuse, the public's nationalist sentiment towards Han Yeping being monopolized by the Japanese will become even more out of control!
In addition, the issue of Pingxiang Coal Mine is also a worry: the private opening of coal mines affects mining. Especially a few years ago, private digging became popular in Pingxiang mining circles. More and more wells were opened, and they came closer and closer. In 1917, a private well opened by Gan Dingxiang, a native of Pingxiang, in the Huangkeng of Pingkuang Mines directly threatened Pingkuang Zhenglong and caused Coal washing furnace for coking.
It’s just that the local government was unable to suppress the situation. The mine police force of more than 300 people organized by itself also became a good place for princes from all walks of life to arrange private affairs. On the contrary, Pingkuang “the police were unable to deal with the people they were dealing with and suffered a lot.” Local gentry may also incite villagers or use clan power to interfere with their request for a ban. In order to avoid causing further trouble, I had to choose to keep things quiet.
“If it becomes a government-private partnership according to Governor Xia’s wishes, these things will naturally disappear, but will the Pingxiang Coal Mine still belong to the Sheng family after the joint venture? No matter how dandy or prodigal he is, he still knows how to measure certain things. This is the bottom line for the son of a noble family to exist.
Sheng Enyi fell into deep thought.

Zhang Hanqing rested comfortably for a while. This is a transparent hall facing the east. It is a unique experience to moisten your throat with fragrant tea while the breeze blows on your face and watch the afterglow of the setting sun shine on the river.
After some meditation, Sheng Enyi finally came to the conclusion: "This is a serious matter and I need to make a decision after discussing it with the board of directors."
The problem that Sheng Enyi is worried about does exist: According to the resolution of the first shareholders meeting of the company in the first year of Xuantong, the company started to build the Daye Iron Works and expand the company's production scale. In order to raise funds for infrastructure construction, on December 2 of the same year, Sheng Xuanhuai signed five contracts with Japan Steel Works and Yokohama Shokin Bank.
He pledged all the property of Hanyeping Company and borrowed 15 million yen, of which 9 million yen was used to build the Daye Iron Works, and 6 million yen was used to repay old Japanese debts; it was stipulated that 15 million tons of first-class minerals and 800 million tons of pig iron should be used Ten thousand tons will be supplied to Japan as repayment for a period of 40 years; Japanese will be hired as the top engineering consultant and top accounting consultant.
These contracts enabled Japan Steel to completely control the management rights of Han Yeping Company, causing Han Yeping Company to gradually decline.
Han Yeping is a large joint-stock enterprise. The largest shareholder of Hankou Iron Works is Japanese and not the Sheng family. Although he is the chairman of Han Yeping, this is reasonable.
It’s just that you can’t decide what to do with so much time!
Zhang Hanqing spoke: "General Manager Sheng, if you are in trouble, you can think about it differently: Japan's domestic economy is currently in recession, and the probability that they will import a large amount of steel from Wuhan is extremely small, so the finished products produced by Hanyang Iron Works can be given priority to us.
We can jointly build a new furnace. You provide the technical personnel and we purchase the equipment and start it as soon as possible to make up for the shortage before the demand is tight. Is this always feasible?
As for Pingxiang Coal Mine, Governor Xia can also help you solve the problem of private mining first. We can also take a step back on the joint venture, but the first right to purchase its coke should be given to us. Our purpose in doing this is to build the iron plant as soon as possible and have stable output. Several major arteries require a large amount of steel. "
According to the information Sheng Enyi has, what the young marshal said is true. In the past two years, Japan has encountered the biggest recession since World War I. Not only has domestic demand fallen, many small and medium-sized banks have gone bankrupt, and industrial enterprises have gone bankrupt. It has been several months since the Japanese asked for steel.
It would be much better if the Japanese were not in a hurry to get iron billets. If there is no need to occupy the finished products of the Hankou Iron Works, there will be an explanation to the Japanese side. As for technicians, this can be discussed. As for coke, there was no agreement initially to give priority to supplying the Japanese. As long as the price is right, it will be sold to anyone!
But after all, we are a business family, and it is still necessary to abide by the contract. Sheng Enyi nodded and said: "According to the market, the coke output can be given priority to sell the new iron plant, but we need cash!"
The reason why Han Yeping was controlled by the Japanese was because of financial difficulties. Two generations of Sheng family heads since Sheng Xuanhuai have suffered this loss, so they emphasize the use of cash.
Zhang Hanqing has a lot of money. He also saved 300 tons of gold in Lanzhou. Except for a very small part, which is used for education and building railways and highways, there is still a lot left. It's just that the northwest is remote, and the gold can't be used out.
He nodded: "Of course this is a cash transaction, the money and goods will be cleared."
Sheng Enyi breathed a long sigh of relief: Fortunately, we are not here to beat the autumn wind.
Solving the coal problem, or looking at the iron plant from the perspective of solving the coal problem, is not a problem at all: "The cost of hiring people at the Hanyang Iron Plant will be borne by the new iron plant, and Hanyang Iron Plant will also account for a certain proportion. of shares.”
Zhang Hanqing agreed: "This can be discussed, and we will leave it to Governor Xia. However, the purchase of equipment requires Mr. Sheng's reputation." After all, they are a century-old family. At their special events, you must respect the connections of the Sheng family, right?
Sheng Enyi explained: "Before the new iron plant is put into operation, if the Japanese need steel, it must still be given priority."
Zhang Hanqing nodded. As long as the new iron plant can pump out production as scheduled, he doesn't care if the Hanyang Iron Plant continues to sell iron to the Japanese. There are already enough of this kind of thing in the Northeast. Since we can't drive them away, let's each develop according to our own abilities. There will always be a critical point when the rising star surpasses himself. Now is the time to develop in a low-key manner.
Thinking that he had not only stabilized the young marshal of the Feng clan, but also allowed himself to have contacts on the future board of directors, Sheng Enyi seemed very happy. He said to Zhang Hanqing and his party: "It is rare for the young marshal and governor Xia to come to this place in person, and there is no reward for the crude tea." , please condescend to have a light meal later, I will set up a banquet at Deming Hotel, and treat you all very respectfully! Please be sure to show your respect!"
Although Zhang Hanqing had never heard of Deming Hotel, but thinking of the dandy Sheng Enyi’s style, he must be a good restaurant.bsp; Perhaps with the beauty by his side, Zhang Hanqing resumed his noble feelings of serving the country and the people. He told the Sheng brothers and sisters about the attempts to build a bridge in Wuhan to connect Beijing and Guangdong since the Republic of China, and said that with the coalition of provincial governments led by the People's Party, it is very possible to build a bridge in Wuhan.
Sheng Aiyi rarely "participated" in this big discussion that benefits the country and the people. She doubted whether Zhang Hanqing and the others could build it: "Young Marshal, as far as I know, the government hired British bridge expert John Wardle to design Wuhan last year. The budgeted cost of the Yangtze River Bridge is 9.7 million yuan. Because this huge cost was ultimately ignored, can you guarantee to raise so much funds?"
After Sheng Xuanhuai's death, Li Jingfang, the supervisor of the execution of Sheng's will and Li Hongzhang's eldest son, after two and a half years of sorting it out, concluded that the total amount was 13.48 million yuan in silver dollars. This amount of money has allowed the Sheng family to dominate Shanghai. Can the young marshal raise so much money? We also need to consider that he wants to build another iron factory, arsenal, and shipyardDoes he have so much money?
Sheng Enyi is also waiting for Zhang Hanqing’s reply.
He didn't dare to say this, but Sheng Aiyi could say that at most it was just a woman's whim, and it would not affect the young marshal's mood. To be honest, he also had the attitude of "not resisting, not taking the initiative" in response to the young marshal's various actions. " mentality: If you have money, I will help. If you don't have money, it's not that I won't help, it's that you can't help yourself! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 561 Elegant Affairs
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing said calmly with a decisiveness that the world is in my hands: "For the large-scale construction in Hubei, Hunan and other places that is about to start, this small amount of money is not a problem. I have arranged for a Central and Western Transportation Construction Corporation to make specific plans related to it." For this matter, 50 million yuan was invested in advance - the money was placed at the Hankou Branch of China Construction Bank and was under the full control of Governor Xia.
The priority transportation construction in the central and western regions is the Wuhan Bridge, the Zhushao Section Railway and the Shaanxi-Gansu Section of the Longhai Railway, followed by Hankou to Jiujiang connecting Jiangxi, and Hankou to Danjiang. In the future, if Henan can be connected as one, connecting Nanyang from Xiangfan to Luoyang and the Longhai Line, a large area can be revitalized.
In a word, in the future, Hanyang Iron Works will not only not lose sales due to the completion of the new iron plant, but I am also worried that the amount of iron used will increase greatly and you will be too busy. "
This is not bragging, it is not a pity at all to be able to turn gold into railways. It seems that the investment is huge, but the feedback these railways will bring to China will be amazing. The cost of railways cannot be counted alone and the recovery is far away. The only difference is the difference between public money and private money, but politicians must consider them. citizens are responsible.
Sheng Aiyi was surprised, while Sheng Enyi was shocked: Such a big deal, not to mention joining forces with him, even buying it, and eating all of Han Yeping, the key is the first installment! So much money is directly handed over to others! This is true wealth! Warlord style! He was somewhat glad that he did not hesitate to cooperate with him.
Zhang Hanqing said with a kind of compassion: "It stands to reason that these arteries related to China's east-west, north-south should have been opened to traffic long ago.
I met Mr. Zhan Tianyou, who just passed away, when we were negotiating on the Middle East Road. He said three things before he died. The most important one was to "pay the money according to the work plan, only look at the power, and work down-to-earth to build the Han, Guangdong, and Sichuan provinces." road'.
He has already surveyed the bridge site. I have seen it in the past few days and approved it. When Governor Xia returns, he will arrange for manpower to start measuring. "
Sheng Aiyi was a little confused: "Young Marshal, you hold military and political power, and you are actually an expert in bridge construction! Did you swim in the Yangtze River a few days ago just to see the location of the bridge?"
“Damn, this is a bit pretentious. I didn’t even think of this when I was swimming. I was so tired at the time that I only listened to the praises of the older girl and the younger daughter-in-law, so I had no time to think about this!
But there are definitely ideas about the Wuhan Bridge: this location has been recognized several times, and the physical body of the first Yangtze River Bridge in New China is here. Facts speak louder than words, and the location selection can be said to be absolutely correct!
He smiled modestly, even more confident: "I don't dare to be an expert. In fact, I just stand on the shoulders of my predecessors and can see higher and further than the average person!"
The distance between Guishan and Snake Mountains is relatively close, and the key is a solid sea foundation. We can cast eight bridge piers on the river, so that the hole spacing of more than 100 meters is enough to run the largest ship on the Yangtze River.
The two-layer bridge is for pedestrians and vehicles, and the lower layer is a duplex railway. From then on, the three towns of Wuhan were connected into one, and the traffic from the north to the south was smooth. The reputation of the thoroughfare of nine provinces in Hubei was truly realized. "
Xia Shoukang was also confused: "Why don't I know about this plan? Before, Chang Yinhuai only mentioned that he would follow the plan from the early Republic of China. How can the young marshal be so sure that there must be eight piers, not nine or ten? It's so big The piers of the Yangtze River are so deep, how can the piers be built by manpower!"
Chang Yinhuai has been serving in Heilongjiang. He once served as Xu Lanzhou's chief of staff. Historically, he was recommended by Yang Yuting as the supervisor of the China Eastern Railway. He was promoted to the governor of Heilongjiang Province because of his successful negotiations with Russia. Putting aside his historical disagreements with the Marshal, he is a very capable politician who advocates toughness against Japan.
But at this time, he had little contact with Yang Yuting. Zhang Hanqing transferred him from Northeast China to Jiangxi to serve as governor, and also served as the General Office of the Guangdong-Hankou Railway, an important branch of the Central and Western Communications Construction Corporation.
“Perhaps the Young Marshal is talking nonsense to strengthen Sheng Laosi’s confidence in investing in the new iron plant? This explanation is correct. So he smiled and said: "Eight bridge piers require more than 10,000 tons of steel at least. Mr. Sheng will be very busy in the future!"
He said encouragingly: "When the Yangtze River Bridge is opened to traffic in the future, people will definitely remember that the iron pillars and beams under their feet are all steel provided by General Manager Sheng of your Hanyeping Company. Then General Manager Sheng will also be famous in history, haha!"
Zhang Hanqing glanced at Xia Shoukang and thought to himself: "Who said this old boy is old-fashioned? His reaction is quick enough?" He smiled heartily at the moment.
The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, but the atmosphere was too business-like and did not meet Sheng Enyi's intention of establishing a deeper personal relationship with the young commander - the Fengcun was very powerful, and he had heard about it for a long time, but he did not expect to achieve such an achievement! With money, guns and territory, China will belong to them sooner or later. With such a great sponsor like the young commander,?Drink water from the Yangtze River and eat Wuchang fish. "
I recited it so fast that I almost brought out the original sentence "Changsha Water". Although "Yangtze River" is not as far away as "Changsha", it can also be interpreted as commemorating the water we drank in the Yangtze River while swimming? Leave it alone.
The lyrics are very straightforward, but judging from the young marshal's handwriting that shocked the poetry world, there must be magic in the decay. Everyone will wait and see.
"Thousands of miles across the Yangtze River, the view is as beautiful as the sky."
As expected, the momentum came as he spoke, and Xia Shoukang said yes first. He is a real person, and only when he says yes is he really good - he swam with Zhang Hanqing, which was a good mood. I was so tired that I almost collapsed. Isn't it "relaxing" to see the Yangtze River? This turns nicely.
"No matter the wind or waves, it is better than taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard. Today I have peace. The Master said on the river: The deceased is like a man!"
Wang Yizhe also found it very funny. That confidence and calmness didn’t make him look like a young commander! Everyone also felt that the poem was the voice of the heart. Judging from the two different words before and after, the young commander's mind was indeed not comparable to that of ordinary people.
"The wind and rafters are moving, the turtles and snakes are still, and the grand plan is set. A bridge flies to the north and south, and the natural chasm becomes a thoroughfare. The stone walls of the Xijiang River are erected, cutting off the clouds and rain in Wushan Mountain, and the high gorge comes out of the flat lake. The goddess should be fine, and she should shock the world."
The idea of ????Xiaque is indeed fascinating. Everyone opened the windows and saw a bright white shadow on the river in the distance. They couldn't help but sigh when they thought of the wonderful scene of a bridge spanning the river in the future. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Xia Shoukang was the first to praise. He said to Zhang Hanqing: "The Yangtze River Bridge will definitely be built with the great efforts of the young marshal. When the day comes, I will send someone to carve this poem on the bridge deck so that future generations will remember it." Young Marshal’s efforts for this!”
Sheng Aiyi was also shocked. Now she was completely convinced. With his literary talent and quick wit, he was clearly a talented, capable and loving young commander! There is no comparison with those unlearned and ignorant high-ranking officials’ children on the beach!
Sheng Enyi became more determined: "Go back immediately and tell my mother that I must betroth Aiyi to the young marshal!"
A burst of noisy voices came in, allowing the people in the hall who had just experienced a small climax to calm down to hear clearly: "I want to see Aiyi!"
Who wants to break into this grand Jianghan Hotel? The most important thing is that outside the hotel are Zhang Hanqing's bodyguards and security officers and soldiers from the Wuhan Provincial Government and the Central China Command.
The Sheng brothers and sisters were obviously startled when they heard this voice. Sheng Enyi winked at the "office director" next to him. After a while, the middle-aged man returned to Sheng Enyi and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Song is making trouble." He's very fierce, he keeps saying that he wants to meet him, but I'm afraid it won't end well."
He spoke very softly, but Zhang Hanqing's ears were full of concern. I had already heard the word "Ai Yi" and saw Sheng Ai Yi blushing and looking at a loss. I could tell with my toes that this must be related to love.
He appreciates Sheng Aiyi's performance, but he doesn't think much of Feifei: he is powerful, but he is married. The Sheng family is a well-known family in Shanghai, and every move has a huge impact. No matter what, you can't be small, right? The laws of the Republic of China were the same as those of the old dynasty, but the status of wives and concubines was different.
Of course, if you are unmarried, this matter is not without room for negotiation. There are a lot of marriage affairs in China, and modern big families do everything possible. No one laughs at anyone, only envies them.
But it’s worth wondering who Miss Sheng Qi’s target is. As the saying goes, the so-called Mr. Song must also be a son of a noble family. It can be seen that he may be of some use. He is now in a stage of united front: whenever there is an opportunity, he will contribute to his great cause of construction. If the opportunity comes, he will spare no effort to win over the other party.
He smiled at Sheng Enyi and said, "Since we are acquaintances, how can we refuse someone thousands of miles away? Invite him to come in and see him."
Taking advantage of the break when the middle-aged "director" was out, Zhang Hanqing asked: "Who is this Mr. Song? It seems that Mr. Sheng doesn't want to see him?"
Sheng Enyi smiled bitterly, "TV? He is Qimei's schoolmate and English teacher. He likes Qimei, but his mother doesn't like him, but she still pesters Qimei. No, Qimei will come to Wuhan for a few days, He also came to Wuhan!"
What a good show of an infatuated man. If I hadn’t had a crush on Sheng Aiyi, I would have been moved. Lienu was afraid of pestering her husband, so she looked at Sheng Aiyi as if she was feeling a little disappointed. Otherwise, Sheng Laosi had told her about her mother's attitude, so why didn't she mention whether Sheng Aiyi liked it or not?
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a man in a suit wearing gold-rimmed glasses rushed in regardless of his demeanor. Without even looking at everyone, he stood directly in front of the dining table and stared at Sheng Aiyi across from him: "Jinru, why are you avoiding me?"
It turns out that Sheng Aiyi’s maiden name is Jinru.
Even though she was used to big scenes, Sheng Aiyi was still a little embarrassed and angry under the gaze of a room full of people: "TV! What are you doing!"
Haha, it’s really called TV. With this name in this era, it seems that he is a returnee from overseas. But it’s hard to come up with a name, and it’s called TV. Why the hell don’t you call it CCTV? Zhang Hanqing's halo as the protagonist was obscured, and he felt a little unhappy.
Sheng Enyi was so embarrassed. Something that was known to everyone in Shanghai had to be brought to Wuhan, and he wanted the young commander he liked to see it with his own eyes! He said angrily: "TV! What are you doing! How inappropriate is this in front of distinguished guests!"
Mr. Song turned his head and looked at Zhang Hanqing, looking very angry: "Brother Sheng, it's not like you don't know about Jinru and I! Now you are letting Jinru accompany other men behind my back, where are you putting me!"
This seems rude. What does "accompanying other men" mean? Who do you think Miss Sheng Qi is! Sheng Aiyi felt a mixture of love and hate in her heart: I've been in places like Shanghai a lot, and I haven't seen you making any big mistakes. It's just that my family doesn't agree with what happened between the two of them, so I have to say it in such an ugly way!
This time, even Zhang Hanqing and others were defeated. Although he couldn't figure out the identity of Mr. Song, he didn't bother to know it now. Zhang Hanqing said calmly: "Mr. Song, although I don't know your surname, but since I call you son, I want you to pay attention to the impact of your status! You are dressed in a Western style, how can you say such a thing??.
With his love shattered and hatred for his sworn enemy Zhang Hanqing, he rushed to Jianghan Hotel without thinking, only to have a conflict with the security personnel.
Fortunately, some senior staff at Hankou Iron Works knew Song Ziwen’s identity, otherwise he might have been taken away directly.
When the young marshal gets angry, the consequences will be serious. In the Republic of China, in China where the legal system was not yet complete, it would only take a matter of minutes for a big family like the Sheng family to be destroyed by the powerful, let alone a young boy with no family background who has yet to make a fortune?
When everyone thought that the young marshal was going to get angry and start a war, and even Sheng Aiyi was thinking about how to say something so that he would not care about the young marshal when he was angry, Zhang Hanqing smiled. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
It was the proud young man across from him (Song Ziwen was six years older than him, but he was actually a young man). Historically, he served as Sun Yat-sen's secretary to the army and navy general's base camp at the age of 29. At the age of 30, he was just a middle school student | A preparer of the Central Bank, he became acting president at the age of 31.
At the age of 32, he was reorganized. At the age of 33, he served as the Minister of Finance of the National Government and the Governor of the Central Bank of China. He also held multiple concurrent positions: Director of the Finance Department of Guangdong Province, Director of the Guangdong Department of Commerce, and Audit Manager of the Salt Affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi. .
His experience is comparable to the promotion process of his military rank. If Sun Yat-sen does not have this relationship, it is a ghost!
Zhang Hanqing has never felt that he is superior to others, and he has always felt that all people are created equal in his heart. This is one of the reasons why he has been loved by middle and lower-level officers since he entered the Fengtian Martial Arts Hall. Even later, when his official position became higher and higher, and his temper became more and more ideal, he still showed an amiable appearance from time to time.
It’s extremely cold at high places.
I am conscientious and considerate, and I have never taken any step other than making a decision and cultivating the Fengxian family step by step. Although it is because of my father's influence, the land reform, the People's Party, the Northeast New Deal, the People's Army, the separation of powers, etc. Wait, I did it bit by bit by myself. These are all solid political achievements. Why do the people insist that his father is a warlord?
Zhang Hanqing looked at Song Ziwen and said tepidly: "You said my father has a beard?"
Although the voice is very soft, it is very powerful and everyone present can feel it.
Song Ziwen also regretted it impulsively: This is too big a statement. A slap in the face, not a slap in the face. Although I took the opportunity to vent my sorrow over the fact that my brother-in-law's power was shattered and he couldn't be reunited with his lover, he accidentally touched the bottom line of this little warlord.
If he orders himself to be thrown into prison or simply beaten to death, no one can defend him! Not even the sisters can: some time ago he even beat up his famous brother-in-law, known as Sun Dapao, who else wouldn't dare to beat him?
But the arrow is already on the string, and there is no point in lowering your head now, as it will make Sheng Aiyi look down on him. In this case, it is better to raise your head bravely, die with dignity, and be scolded happily! He stared at Zhang Hanqing and said word by word: "Isn't it?!"
Zhang Hanqing smiled. He was sitting in the middle of the chair. Everyone who was eating around him had already stood up sensitively and stood quietly on both sides behind him. It seemed that otherwise he could not express his firm support for Zhang Hanqing's position.
Wang Yizhe quietly called Huang Xiansheng and asked the guards he arranged to enter. Even Sheng Aiyi looked at Zhang Hanqing nervously, preparing for his attack. For a moment, the dining room was filled with a fiery atmosphere.
But Zhang Hanqing just glanced at him casually and said lightly: "Yes, my father was born in a beard - so what? When they embarked on that road, it was just one word, poor! It was the country that caused them to fall into poverty. In order to survive, And the fallen grass is a bandit."
"The emperor of the Han Dynasty started from the pavilion chief, Liu Bei and the Southern Dynasty Emperor Liu Yu, who was a shoe seller, and Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was a beggar when he was a child They all later made great contributions to the country and left their names in history. You don't know, well, you may not know. After all, you I studied abroad very early and can speak fluent English. I also received a master's degree and a doctorate degree from a top American university.
You may ask, what virtues do my father and I have that we dare to compare with the sages? But I think what we are doing today is much more meaningful than these emperors in history!
In the Northeast, through land reform, we have allowed more than 20 million people to live a dignified life; since the sixth year of the Republic of China, we have allowed more than one million immigrants from the customs to have land to farm and live in the Northeast every year;
China has suffered the humiliation of ceding territory and paying indemnities for more than 80 years, and has also signed countless unequal treaties. But in the Northeast, during my father's tenure, we never gave up even a single village or a piece of fertile farmland (this is a bit exaggerated, no one can argue with it anyway)!
A few years ago, we also recovered the Middle East Road and all Russian concessions in China. We are about to sign a peace treaty with Russia. This will be the first completely equal inter-state treaty signed by China!
We have achieved basic legalization and separation of powers in the Northeast. The legal spirit of the Republic of China is most obviously reflected in the three provinces of Northeast China. This is a well-known fact! Be able to take the initiative to delegate power to the parliament. Starting from Yuan Shikai, which president and which Congress has done this!
My father is the inspection envoy of the three northeastern provinces and the economic and strategic envoy of Mongolia and Xinjiang. He also controls Rehe, Suiyuan, Chahar, and Xing'an. He is also the chairman of the Northeast Autonomous Government and the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun Army, controlling all areas including Hubei. China’s 17 provinces haveNo matter what belief or party, we can discuss it as long as it is based on the premise of one China. I hope that the People's Party will not be the enemy of the Kuomintang in the future, but if it must do so, the People's Party will be its very qualified enemy! "
He stared at Song Ziwen: "I won't kill you because you are not worthy of being my enemy yet!"
Song Ziwen nodded in despair, no longer daring to say a strong word. He rushed out quietly, without even saying goodbye to Sheng Aiyi Instead, Sheng Aiyi chased after him, took out a gold leaf from his arms, and said softly: "Take it and do it." Travel expenses.”
Song Ziwen held the gold leaf in his hand and said gratefully: "Jinru, thank you. Would you like me to come with you?"
Sheng Aiyi shook her head and said, "My brother is going back to Shanghai in two days, and I will go with him."
Song Ziwen looked at her, expecting her to invite him to go with her, but Sheng Aiyi nodded slightly and said, "Cherish the journey," and left without looking back, leaving Song Ziwen standing alone in the wind with a melancholy face
He didn’t know that this golden leaf was Sheng Aiyi’s last love for him. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

With the failure of the Guangdong military government headed by Sun Yat-sen, some members of Congress who originally left Beijing can legitimately return to Beijing to participate in the presidential election after Xu Shichang. This makes the new Congress full of gunpowder.
The congressmen who went south to "protect the law" looked down upon the old colleagues who had no spine to oppose Yuan Shikai and were willing to serve as their wings; and the old colleagues also accused the law-protecting congressmen of separatist actions in the name of protecting the law; under Duan Qirui's "Anfu Clan" The congressmen who took office when they came to power were not spared, and they fully experienced the sharp fire of the law-enforcement congressmen who had been influenced by "Sun Dapao".
The People's Army needs to rest and recuperate, and the Zhili also needs to train its troops. The two sides have reached a rare agreement on this matter, so that a rare peace situation has emerged inside and outside the pass. In this atmosphere, Zhang Hanqing ordered Han Linchun to be the deputy commander and acting commander-in-chief of the People's Army within the Pass, to control the Northwest, Central and South China People's Army, and return to his hometown of Shenyang to start a new starting point.
The reason why I came back in a hurry is because my wife Yu Fengzhi’s condition is somewhat serious, but the doctors can’t find out. Originally, Yu Fengzhi wanted to hide it from Zhang Hanqing, but seeing that she was getting haggard, Zhang Zuolin still sent an emergency call to Zhang Hanqing who was far away in China.
After waiting for medical advice, perhaps it was due to the improvement in his mood that Yu Fengzhi stayed by Zhang Hanqing's side and worked hard to show signs of improvement, so that Zhang Hanqing could have time to deal with official duties. During this period, he made Huang Wanqing pregnant with his second child.
By this time, Yang Yuting had returned to Zhang Zuolin's sight and resumed his role as supervisor of the important Shenyang Arsenal, but his title of General Counselor of the Fengjun Army was replaced by Jiang Baili.
This man is also a talented person. After a lot of hard work, in a short period of time, the scale of Shenyang Arsenal far exceeded the expectations of Zhang Zuolin and others, and also exceeded Zhang Hanqing's ideals, making Zhang Zuolin look at him with admiration again.
Under this circumstance, Zhang Hanqing decided that Yang Yuting would be jointly responsible for managing the production of Hankou Arsenal and Lanzhou Ordnance Factory, and actually doing the work of the General Armament Department
The layout of northern industry and national defense was carried out in an orderly manner under the coordination of Jiang Baili and the supervision of Sun Liechen and Guo Songling. Gradually, a task that had been neglected for many years came into mind, which was to build a real navy.
Since Zhang Hanqing’s expedition to Mongolia, he has not been able to take care of establishing a navy.
Originally, in the strategic plan with Jiang Baili and others, China, with its weak economic and industrial strength, could not jointly control land and sea power. When the country was not yet unified and the military was weak, the development of the main offensive army was both feasible and necessary. However, with the growth of the People's Army, the task of protecting inland rivers, rivers, and coasts has become increasingly prominent.
Taking the Yangtze River as an example, relying on the army alone in such a vast river basin not only requires a large number of troops to mobilize, but also disperses the troops and makes concentration impossible. Moreover, future actions against Japan's Kanto Prefecture and the defense of Gyeonggi are unimaginable without a navy, even a shallow-water navy.
The role of the navy is self-evident: China’s humiliation process in modern history is also evidence of the importance of the navy. Think about the old powers such as Britain and France, which relied on warships to open the door to China's blockade time and time again. It was Japan, relying on two major naval victories, that established its status as a powerful country in East Asia. If China wants to defend its vast maritime territory, it must develop its navy in advance.
Of course, Zhang Hanqing is not arrogant enough to prepare to develop a powerful navy to fight against the powerful Japan or even the United States. In his view, without twenty or thirty years of hard work to catch up, China would not have been able to dominate Japan at sea, let alone the old naval powers Britain and the United States, even in the East China Sea.
But it is very feasible to establish an offshore navy and carry out the task of protecting the coastline under the protection of powerful air power.
In addition, an existing fleet is also a chess piece that the enemy has to face up to. As the famous U.S. naval strategist Mahan concluded, an unknown fleet, "so long as it exists, even if weak, is a constant threat to the more or less open interests of the enemy. They do not He knew when he would be attacked and had to limit his actions until the fleet was destroyed or subdued."
The People's Army Army has begun to take shape, and it's time for the Navy to pay attention to its powerful mobility and the role of mobile turrets.
During the Republic of China, China was keeping pace with the world in terms of aircraft construction capabilities, and the cost of aircraft was extremely low. Take Japan's "Yamato" battleship as an example. The cost is 10 million yuan, which is equivalent to the sum of 100 China's newly-made "Type A-1" water jets, or to equip a full army division (Fengxian standard). ).
Of course, battleships show off their power on the ocean, but in coastal waters, 100 water planes, with their more advantageous combat capabilities (amphibious), are far superior in comprehensive combat capabilities.It is far stronger than this battleship, and one more army division is more useful to the current Feng army than one more battleship.
The navy is a branch of the military that embodies the country’s comprehensive strength, and its complexity is far greater than that of automobiles, which embody industrial capabilities. Consider that by the end of the 20th century, China, as a global manufacturing power, could not produce large ships and turbines with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons.
In order to more effectively control the inland rivers of the Yangtze River and the Bohai Bay, Jiaodong Bay, and Liaodong Bay, it is imperative to build an offshore navy of appropriate size. In addition, for future development, adding a solid military industry foundation to the navy is a precautionary plan.
There is also no shortage of talents in the construction of the Chinese navy. From the former Beiyang Government Navy Chief and Admiral Sa Zhenbing, who "enjoyed a great reputation during his lifetime and a good reputation after his death" in the history of China's navy, to the captains or captains of various Chinese fleets in subsequent battles against Japan. Commanders such as Ma Jizhuang, Song Changzhi, Chen Jiliang, etc., as well as Chen Shaokuan, who went to the front line to observe the battle as the military attache stationed in Britain, and Northeast veteran Shen Honglie, who is currently the commander of the Northeast River Defense Fleet, are full of talents.
Sa Zhenbing resigned as Minister of the Navy after the Zhijiang-Anhui War. After staying in Beijing for a while, he became disheartened by the fragmented Navy and prepared to return to his hometown in Fujian. Zhang Hanqing promptly dissuaded him and talked to him about China's dream of becoming a powerful nation in the future with a new perspective.
Zhang Hanqing’s ideas, understanding of the navy and new insights into naval warfare made Sa Zhenbing feel the hope of the Chinese navy. Feeling the marshal's hospitality and his strong dream of serving the country with the navy, he served as the principal of Fengjun's newly established naval ship command school in Qinhuangdao to cultivate talents for the Chinese navy.
Under his leadership, a large number of Fujianese maritime elites joined this team, looking forward to re-creating glory at sea. In Zhang Hanqing’s words, “I would rather have people wait for equipment than let equipment wait for people.”
The reason why I was deeply impressed by Chen Shaokuan is that historically he was the first to propose that China build an aircraft carrier. In the current period when "big guns and big ships" doctrine is prevalent, very few people have such a vision.
As the first person to witness the launch of the first aircraft carrier, Chen Shaokuan was still serving as the military attaché at the Embassy of the Republic of China in the UK.
In 1918, the British converted large ships such as the Engadan and the Furious into seaplane carriers. The Furious was equipped with a flight deck, making it the world's first true aircraft carrier. In July of that year, seven carrier-based aircraft taking off from the Fury bombed a German air base, demonstrating the aircraft carrier's huge combat capabilities.
Witnessing this scene, Chen Shaokuan realized the importance of aircraft carriers to modern naval warfare. In his inspection report, he wrote: "In a naval battle, a modern navy must rely on the aircraft carried on the ship to obtain attack methods."
However, due to the current situation in China at that time and space, Chen Shaokuan was destined to be unable to fulfill his aircraft carrier dream. But, what now?
Chen Shaokuan immediately became a fan of the young marshal after communicating with Zhang Hanqing: The young marshal not only fully agreed with his aircraft carrier-centered theory, but also forward-lookingly proposed the concepts of joint formation anti-submarine and regional air defense, believing that submarines would be used for a long time in the future. The large-scale use of aircraft carriers will bring about huge changes in the world's military. It is predicted that multi-purpose and large aircraft carriers will be the mainstream of future naval construction, and it is pointed out that the cannon and giant ship doctrine will soon be eliminated.
Not only that, he also outlined the future direction of the Chinese navy and revealed that China will build at least eight more aircraft carrier groups in the near future. Chen Shaokuan's blood boiled when he heard these words. At this time, he was not so naive as to ask the then Republic of China government to build 20 aircraft carriers.
Zhang Hanqing also admired Chen Shaokuan's obsession with expanding China's naval power: There are many things that are really not impossible to do, but only unexpected. China's understanding of the navy is still very superficial, and the people's understanding of the ocean is only as a supplement to the land. Few people think of the "blue land", and many senior generals still believe that the navy is a supplement to the army.
Changing this situation will not happen overnight. Having specialized naval talents is a good thing for the development of the Chinese navy. He believed that he was still in control and would not resort to violence. At present, the national strength is not enough to realize the dream, but Chen Shaokuan was appointed as the director of Fengjun Naval Planning Department to maintain the steady development of the navy.
And Chen Jiliang was rescued by Zhang Hanqing because of the "Temple Street Incident" and was anonymously named as a senior consultant of the "Northeast Water Security Brigade". Now he can finally show his ambition and serve as the director of the Surface Ship Planning Department.
As a formal force in the military, the Aviation Police Department of the Marshal's Office was officially renamed the Coast Guard Department, and the Northeast River Defense Fleet was also officially renamed the Northeast Coast Defense Fleet. Although there is only one word difference between "from river to sea", it shows Zhang Hanqing's ambition.
What is ironic is that the Navy Department of the Central Government in Beijing actually recognized Zhang Zuolin’s behavior, which was nothing less than plunder. At the establishment ceremony of the Fengjun Coast Guard Office, people were sent to inspect it to express congratulations.
So much so that Wu Peifu, after being convinced that the Feng Faction finally had a fleet that could compete with the "Bohai Fleet" under its control, said sourly and sarcastically, "The Jiangfang Fleet has since changed from a state minister to a family general"
But there is no way, who allowed Lao Zhang to control the Central Committee? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)This kind of behavior, which is no less than plunder and robbery, is actually admitted.

Chapter 565 Breakthrough

It can be said that the soul of the Chinese Navy has been formed, only the trunk is missing. But at this stage, how can I make my body plump when I am broke?
The answer is to build destroyers first. Through design, construction, use, maintenance, and improvement, China will first have certain ship operation experience and train talents for the future escort fleet. When China trains qualified talents as soon as possible, then the country will have strength and then strive to make major breakthroughs in big ships.
Most of the destroyers of the 1920s were new ships built during or shortly after World War I. Taking the United States as an example, these new destroyers have flat decks, four funnels, a displacement of 1,200 tons, and a draft of nine feet, ten inches. They featured four four-inch cannons and a three-inch anti-aircraft gun. They were also equipped with twelve torpedo tubes, and some destroyers were equipped with depth charges.
This class of destroyers can reach a speed of 35 nautical miles per hour and are operated by 125 people. Due to their shallow draft, these destroyers can sail along the Yangtze River all the way to Hankou. They often travel as far as Hankou and sometimes even further.
The United States built a total of 273 such flat-deck destroyers at that time, and they formed the backbone of the small combat force of the U.S. Navy during the interwar period. In the understanding of Zhang Hanqing and others, these destroyers are fast and equipped with powerful weapons, which are suitable for activities in coastal waters and inland waters.
There are also some gunboats in the Yangtze River Patrol Fleet of the U.S. Asia Fleet that were specially built for service on the Yangtze River. They have a displacement of 190 tons, a draft of three and a half feet, are coal-fired, and can reach a speed of 13 knots per hour. With a shallow draft, smooth movement, and a length of only 165 feet, they were able to travel the entire length of the Yangtze River, 1,700 miles, and could reach or even sail past Chongqing in Sichuan Province.
Each warship carries four officers and forty-six enlisted men. There are also six Chinese "boat people" on each ship who serve as cooks and do other chores. Both were equipped with two three-inch guns and several machine guns.
Such destroyers and gunboats are what Zhang Hanqing wants: in South China, they are more than enough to complete the task of defending Guangzhou Bay. Placing one on the Pearl River Estuary between Hong Kong and Macau will become a roadblock for entering the hinterland of South China;
Along the Yangtze River, he can add several artillery regiments with sufficient firepower to the People's Army in the provinces along the Yangtze River;
In the Northeast, they are responsible for protecting the important Beijing-Shenyang Railway in Liaodong Bay. Of course, if they grow stronger, they can also threaten Guandong Prefecture In wartime, they can become a mobile fort to carry out combat missions under the protection of the superior air force. In case of unfavorable times, It can also block the Yangtze River estuary as it did during the Anti-Japanese War, so that the superior Japanese navy cannot exert its advantages.
The key is that through the use, maintenance, repair, and even imitation of these warships, China's naval development can avoid many detours. Introduction, digestion, absorption, development, innovation and transcendence are originally the fast ways for backward countries to progress.
With these three fleets, the foundation of the People's Army Navy has been established. The three major fleets in Zhang Hanqing's mind are a complex that integrates seaplanes, land aviation, marines, and a large number of fast and powerful surface fleets, capable of small and medium-sized operations such as ground attacks, river blockades, and mine-laying. All arms will serve as the basis for China's future fleet.
Through two diplomatic struggles, Zhang Hanqing was deeply impressed by Gu Weijun, an ally and diplomat who had outstanding performance in Paris and Washington. After the signing of the "Washington Treaty", he recommended him to become the Minister of Foreign Affairs. . Before returning to Shenyang, I stayed in Beijing for a day and talked with him all night long.
Gu Weijun is also familiar with the various deeds of the famous young marshal. There was a meeting in Beijing that year. At that time, he was already well-known, but Zhang Hanqing was just emerging and wanted to use his own name to make a name for himself. However, when we meet again after seven years, the relationship between host and guest has changed.
Zhang Hanqing can be sure of the position of Minister-General of Foreign Affairs that he has been seeking for many years, just like the official position of the Central Committee is his own. Over the years, the reputation of the young marshal has spread all over the country. His military talents are so abundant that even Yuan Shikai did not give in too much, and his control over the People's Army is so strong that even veterans with many years of experience on the battlefield admire him.
He can stay away from the military camp for a long time, but whether he is far away in Lanzhou, Wuhan or the Guangzhou headquarters in the South, the People's Army always has the surname Zhang.
And even at home, his insight into the international situation was so keen that even he, a leader in the diplomatic community, was shocked: about Japan's intention to invade China, about the partition of Germany by European countries, and the plot that Germany was brewing for this. Hatred, about the bad relations between Japan and the United States, about the tendency of the United States to replace Britain as a powerful country, and about the need for China to?One of Germany’s magic weapons…
Therefore, China, which was alienated in appearance and enthusiastic in nature, gave them an opportunity to develop in the military industry. With the encouragement of the German government, a large number of military experts traveled thousands of miles to northern China and provided a large amount of valuable information in various military fields. Experience and hard work.
With their strong support, after the self-made water plane "Type A-1" made by the Chinese took off, a new seaplane suitable for military use was officially mass-produced. It was named "Water Bomb-1" after Zhang Hanqing. "type.
It has a 125-horsepower, towed twin-flank biplane water bomber with a maximum speed of 155 kilometers per hour, an empty weight of 800 kilograms, a load of 2000 kilograms, a fuel capacity of 150 liters, a flight altitude of 3800 meters, a navigation time of 3 hours, and a range of 450 kilometers. , with a crew of 2, and can carry 6 heavy bombs. Taking advantage of Harbin's superior geographical conditions, a seaplane manufacturing plant was established here to carry out small batch production.
In view of the instability of technology and China's current national conditions, these armaments will not be equipped in large quantities. However, according to Zhang Hanqing's requirements, the Navy will build a series of weapons and equipment and continuously improve them. During this period, it will cultivate talents and at least ensure that China It was not at a disadvantage in the international arms race during the same period.
According to the idea of ????"people wait for weapons instead of weapons waiting for people", arms construction can be more advanced.
So far, the prototype of China's naval plan has been established. What awaits China will be a leap in the number of naval ships and air force after industrial development. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 566 Zhang Zuolin’s dirty tricks
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The People's Army, as the southern branch of the Fengcian faction, has been victorious one after another, making the strategic situation very favorable to Zhang Zuolin. He also gradually squeezed the Japanese forces in the Northeast in order to solve the cancer on the collapsed side.
The Japanese Kwantung Army and the Consulate General in Liaoning were very sensitive to Zhang Zuolin's attitude. They conducted tests from time to time to clarify their policy towards Japan, and tried to actively strive for new benefits while maintaining existing interests.
Although Zhang Zuolin came from a heroic background, he had a very sincere and ardent patriotism. He refused to cooperate with the Japanese in various demands, such as mining, setting up factories, immigration, and building a port in Huludao, and refused to accept hard or soft orders.
Zhang Zuoxiang’s Northeast Frontier Defense Force firmly controlled Changchun, the northernmost town of the South Manchuria Railway, preventing the Japanese troops stationed in Harbin from receiving any supplies from Kanto Prefecture.
The elite 27th Division is stationed in Liaoning as the main mobile force. Ding Chao's 23rd Division has been stationed in Dandong, an important town connecting Kantong Prefecture in Japan and Sinuiju in North Korea. It is responsible for cutting off Japan's only land route from North Korea to China once war breaks out. Traffic Dandong Yalu River Bridge mission.
In other places where two other Yalu River bridges were built in later generations - Linjiang and Ji'an, one regiment was stationed respectively. The opening of the Tonghua-Tongliao Railway has greatly enhanced the mobility of the Fengjun Army in supporting the Sino-North Korean border.
The Japanese government felt that the Kwantung Army's hesitation was a major defeat compared with the large-scale entry of American forces in the Yangtze River Basin. Prime Minister Kato Yusaburo, who was a soldier, could not stand Zhang Zuolin's arrogance and "rudeness", and he instructed Zhang Zuolin's "old friends" "Consul General Yoshida expressed the dissatisfaction of the Japanese government and intended to force it to submit.
After receiving the instruction, Yoshida Soo arranged for "Nanman Co., Ltd." to hold a cocktail party on the grounds of contracting business finance.
After three rounds of drinking, a celebrity from Japan asked the commander to appreciate his calligraphy. He knew that Zhang Zuolin was born in a green forest and had limited literacy, and wanted to make him look ugly in public. But Zhang Zuolin grabbed the pen and wrote the character "Tiger", then wrote the inscription and, amid applause, returned to the table with his pen.
The Oriental celebrity looked at the words "Zhang Zuolin has black hands" and laughed out loud. The entourage quickly approached the commander and reminded him in his ear, "The word "ink" written by the commander in "hand ink" has lost the word "earth" and turned into "black"."
Who would have thought that Zhang Zuolin glared and cursed: "What a bastard! I don't know how to write the word 'mo' yet? Is it possible to deal with the Japanese without a dirty hand? This is called 'not giving up an inch of ground!'"
These words were like a blow to the Japanese. The Chinese people present suddenly understood and laughed, and were all elated, while the Japanese were dumbfounded. From then on, "Zhang Zuolin's dirty tricks" became a classic story of the Republic of China.
When the story reached the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, Ono Sananobu was extremely angry. It was not because of this "conspiracy" thing, but also because of the uncompromising attitude of the Feng faction that annoyed him.
He summoned the senior generals of the Kwantung Army to gather together and recounted the incident in detail. Finally, he said: "Everyone, the Empire of Japan has suffered the most serious insult in history. As a warrior of His Majesty the Emperor, I cannot tolerate the Chinese people's insult to Indifference and ridicule to the power of the Kwantung Army.
Although the Army Headquarters has not yet given a clear instruction on this incident, I, Ono Minoru, in the name of the Commander of the Kwantung Army, request you to immediately prepare for battle, inflict a heavy blow to the Fengtian soldiers headed by Zhang Zuolin, and safeguard our great Japan. The glory of the imperial soldier. "
The military meeting decided that Kato Seiji, the commander of the second brigade, would use his headquarters to enter the city of Shenyang to deploy defenses. Koizumi Shinya, the commander of the brigade, would lead his troops to strengthen Changchun and wait for opportunities to create disputes outside the customs. At the same time, there was also a commotion in Japan's Tianjin Concession, and the Japanese government intended to express its dissatisfaction by expanding conflicts.
The local situation in Tianjin is quite tense because the Japanese imperialist and spy chief Kenji Doihara bribed local traitors and Qinghong Gang leaders Zhang Bi and Li Jichun, and gathered 500 local gangsters to form a "plainclothes team", known as 2,000 people, named Tianjin Japan The concession was a nest, and they constantly came out to harass and cause troubles, causing armed riots one after another.
Plainclothes teams often broke out of the Japanese Concession in groups and carried out disturbances in the city at night. There are often sudden gunshots, and residents wake up from their dreams, not knowing what is going on, and terrified.
This armed riot by plainclothes teams lasted for more than a month, bringing disaster to the citizens of Tianjin.
A series of provocations suddenly made the atmosphere on the Tianjin and South Manchuria Railways tense, and rumors of a Sino-Japanese war spread. Many people in the upper echelons of the Fengcian military and political circles were fearful of the Japanese from the bottom of their hearts. Zhang Zuolin also felt uneasy, fearing that a major change would lead to a major change and the hard-won advantages of the Fengcian clique be wiped out. He instructed Zhang Zuoxiang and Wu Junsheng's Northeastern garrison to "act with caution." , loose on the outside and tight on the inside.”
Zhang Hanqing also fell into deep thought.
Zhang Hanqing did not expect that these discords suddenly occurred under the favorable conditions of unifying the country. But what is supposed to come will eventually come. China and Japan will definitely have a war, so let’s fight against each other.p; This is because Northeast Asia is not a key interest of the United States.
Therefore, Fengjun’s toughness against Japan at this time should not be blocked by the Americans. British interests originally lie in the Yangtze River Basin, and they will not care too much about the situation in Northeast and North China.
When it comes to China's national interests, Wu Peifu is also a patriotic warlord. Although he is at odds with Feng, based on his performance in history, he should not stab him in the back at this time, right?
Under this judgment, Zhang Hanqing sent a secret telegram to Zhang Zuolin, pointing out that Japan currently does not have the conditions for a major war, and all Fengjun ministries should attack it head-on.
He said to the point: "Japan's behavior in the Northeast is banditry. In Tianjin, it is thieving. On the one hand, it is robbing, and on the other hand, it is sneaky. If the beating hurts, if the battle is won, peace talks are possible!" (Remember Website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 567 War and Peace
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Because Zhang Hanqing’s judgment of the overall situation was often accurate and unique, Zhang Zuolin trusted him. Without thinking, Zhang Zuolin launched a major purge aimed at driving out Japanese infiltration in the Northeast:
1. Based on the South Manchuria Railway, all Japanese industrial and mining enterprises west of the Liaohe River, east of the Xihe, Taizi, and Tonghe rivers, and north of Changchun implement a personnel entry and exit registration system. Unregistered Japanese are not subject to the so-called "consular jurisdiction." protection of;
2. According to the Treaty of Portsmouth, any industrial, mining, or trading companies privately established by the Japanese within 1 kilometer east to west of the South Manchuria Railway without permission are illegal, and the National Unification Committee will confiscate all property in accordance with the order. ;
3. The Japanese’s so-called road protection troops on the South Manchuria Railway strictly set a cap on the number of troops in accordance with the treaty, and the number was reduced year by year. The Japanese Kwantung Army must not increase its troops under any pretext, and the Japanese troops stationed in Shenyang and Changchun must withdraw to their garrison in the Kwantung Prefecture. Otherwise, the resulting armed conflict will be deemed as an incident deliberately provoked by the Japanese side, and the responsibility lies with them;
4. According to the agreement between China and Japan to co-manage the South Manchuria Railway (the principle is this, but when it was first concluded, the Japanese side thought that China did not have the power to do so, and both sides unanimously regarded this "co-management" as a face-saving consideration), along the South Manchuria Railway Soldiers from the Northeast Armed Police are stationed at all provincial and municipal stations to eliminate misunderstandings and disputes between China and Japan due to language barriers, and to assume the responsibility of protecting the railway.
5. Comprehensively reduce Japan’s consulates in Northeast China, leaving only Shenyang and Changchun. Harbin, Manzhouli, Huichun, and Qiqihar should be closed no later than early next year.
6. The People's Party launched a call to "boycott Japanese goods" to reduce Japan's motivation to dump goods into China during its domestic economic crisis, making it difficult for Japan to recover and indirectly destabilizing Japan's war against China. Confidence.
In Tianjin, Municipal Party Committee Secretary Mo Dehui and Mayor Wang Shuchang are extremely concerned about the situation.
After the Tianjin riots, Wang Shuchang had learned that "the Japanese military and consulate in Tianjin ordered our country's frustrated soldiers Zhang Bi and Li Jichun, as well as some leaders of the Tianjin Qinghong Gang and famous bandit leaders Cao Huayang, Xiao Yunfeng, Gao Pengjiu, etc., to organize a 'plainclothes team' "Carrying out violence" and other information, a joint meeting of provincial and municipal military, political, party, police and security officials was convened to convey the commander's instructions, and then ordered all armed police units to be on strict alert. If necessary, the 15th Brigade of Jing Youyan of the 28th Division could be mobilized to assist. Will suppress.
Wang Shuchang solemnly stated at the meeting: "I am a soldier, and I have the responsibility to defend the territory. If there are riots and troubles that disrupt Tianjin, I must adapt to the situation, combine hardness and softness, think carefully, and solve it properly. But I will never be a national sinner, let Tianjin fathers and brothers scold me for being incompetent!"
The Tianjin Armed Police Corps was ordered to impose martial law in Tianjin. On October 8, when the plainclothes team broke out of the Japanese concession, they were sniped by the armed police and the police. The battle lasted until dawn, and finally defeated the plainclothes team's attack.
At 11 a.m. on October 9, Mayor Wang Shuchang summoned the consuls of various countries in Tianjin at his official residence to introduce the history of the riots and the authorities’ determination to fight the rebellion, and also notified the Japanese Consulate.
In order to maintain public order in the city, protect the lives and property of foreign nationals from all over the world, and help eliminate gangsters, he pointed out: "The Japanese concession hides thugs, and the Chinese official cannot eliminate them. If anything harms the lives and property of foreign nationals in the future, the Japanese side should be responsible and cooperate with them." China has nothing to do!”
The plainclothes team did not get any advantage in the riots on the 8th and night, and then on the 9th and 10th, the Japanese personally went out to cause trouble. They sent Japanese officers and soldiers dressed in Chinese civilian clothes to slip through the defense line. Four military police among them broke into the guard barracks at Jingyouyan Brigade Headquarters and were detained by the Chinese guards. After interrogation, they admitted that they were performing reconnaissance and espionage missions.
After the Japanese learned about it, they immediately sent a second lieutenant and five military policemen to the municipal government to ask for Wang Shuchang's people directly. Their attitude was extremely arrogant, saying that they were kidnapped by the Chinese army into the barracks and were brutally tortured and their lives were not guaranteed. Filed a "protest" saying this was an unfriendly act towards Japan.
Wang Shuchang pretended not to know. He sneered and said to the Japanese second lieutenant: "Your army is in the concession, and there is a conflict with the garrison. Wang is not aware of it. Secondly, I am an administrative official and do not care about the military. Detailed reasons Please negotiate with my headquarters in Tianjin. I’m sorry that I’m on official business and can’t accompany you!”
The Japanese second lieutenant was helpless and went back to the 15th brigade headquarters to ask for important information. Unexpectedly, Jing Youyan had already killed the four disguised Japanese soldiers on the spot: "Your military police broke into my barracks wearing Chinese civilian clothes. I am going to inform your army headquarters whether it is true or not." Investigate the situation. But the common people broke into important military areas privately, and our guards have reason and authority to perform guard duties. Now these four people have been shot dead on the spot. You might as well go and claim the bodies so that you can reply!"
This was true for the Japanese army, and the traitors had an even worse end. More than 300 people from the bandit leader Cao Huayang on down were shot dead on the spot, more than 100 people suffered wounds of varying sizes, and only dozens of fish that slipped through the net crawled back in the dark.In this battle, blood flowed all over the Japanese concession and corpses lay everywhere.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away. The Japanese are sullen and asking for trouble.
At the same time, a large-scale armed battle took place in Jiutai, northeast of Changchun. A fierce battle broke out between the 1st Infantry Regiment (regimental level) under the Japanese Koizumi Shinya Brigade and the 1st Brigade of the 30th Division of the Northeast Frontier Army Yu Zhen. The Northeastern Army was well prepared for this battle and even used artillery. It ended with the Japanese soldiers abandoning dozens of corpses and fleeing back to Changchun.
The situation is becoming increasingly tense. There are rumors that the Japanese army has urgently dispatched three divisions and are being transported to China. The Japanese navy has also set anchor and embarked. The war is about to break out.
On this occasion, Zhang Hanqing expressed his support. He said in a nationwide telegram on the 12th: "If China and Japan are at war together, the land will not be divided into north and south, and people will be old and young. They will share the same hatred and resist foreign aggression!
Since the Opium War, China has been widely humiliated. It is time for China to become self-reliant and self-reliant. Although the three households of Chu can destroy Qin, how can our majestic China be deserted? Xueliang personally led the entire People's Army to the north today to shed blood for the uprightness of China. As long as the 450 million people unite sincerely, Japanese imperialism will surely be plunged into the vast sea of ??people's war! "
It was the first time that he proposed the concept of "people's war" and the first time he publicly raised the slogan against Japanese imperialism. In order to show his determination and cut off the retreat of various factions in the possible war with Japan, he also added a special sentence in the message: "War ends together, peace means traitors!" This sent out the message of China since the "May 4th Movement" The strongest sound is sung everywhere.
The People's Party also mobilized the masses extensively, launching boycotts of Japanese goods, strikes and other support activities in Shenyang, Changchun, Harbin, Tianjin, Beijing, Wuhan, Lanzhou, Xi'an, Guangzhou, Nanchang, Hefei, Changsha and other controlled cities, as well as in Shanghai and Nanjing. . This incident severely dealt a blow to Japan's influence in China and its domestic economy, and also greatly improved the status of the Fengjun and the People's Army among the Chinese people.
The "National Unification Committee" also called on all political parties and local powerful factions to jointly resist foreign aggression on the premise of "national unity." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 568 Confidence
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The U.S. government has expressed concern about the situation in Northeast China. If a war breaks out, Japan will inevitably arm its army and use its entire body to force all countries to increase their military investment in the Asia-Pacific. This is in line with the general trend of disarmament and peace after World War I. Doesn’t match.
Therefore, the U.S. and British ambassadors to Japan mediate disputes between the two countries under the instructions of their respective domestic governments.
After convening consecutive emergency cabinet meetings, it was foreseen that the Sino-Japanese war might be a protracted war of attrition. Japan did not have preparations and plans for a full-scale war, and the Japanese government had to ease the situation.
On the 15th, Japan’s Foreign Minister issued a statement on the current situation: “The Japanese government has never and will never raise so-called unreasonable claims against China’s territory. Japan will strictly bind its military personnel in accordance with the Washington Treaty. actions in Manchuria and North China, and abide by Japan’s obligations to ensure China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
On the same day, the Japanese troops stationed in Changchun began to withdraw to Guandong Prefecture, the Japanese troops in Shenyang also returned to their original military camps, the Japanese and plainclothes teams in Tianjin also ceased their activities, and the situation in Northeast and North China temporarily eased.
However, this is only because the current situation is unfavorable to Japan, not because it has voluntarily given up its ambition to invade China. Because of the military investment in the intervention in Siberia, Japan's domestic finances were overwhelmed.
?Perhaps Russia was born to be the nemesis of the Japanese? In the past, the Japanese government was intimidated by the Russian bear's appearance of strength. The Japanese government could only find some sweet spots in the corner of Russia's mouth. In the great situation of the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1895, the Russians were forced to give up some of their interests and spit out the Liaodong Peninsula. That's food for the mouth.
We finally won a great victory in the Russo-Japanese War, but we did not get any benefit from it. The Russians' unrelenting war potential made them timid, especially after hearing that the Far East Railway had been completed, the Japanese wisely chose to give up war reparations and carve up Northeast China with Russia.
Will it be better if Russia is divided internally? After four years of interference, in addition to causing a lot of embarrassment, it did not gain any advantage. So much so that at the 45th session of the Diet in 1922, influential and knowledgeable members such as Ozaki Yukio and Masaki Teruzou severely questioned the government: "Since the seventh year of Taisho, (1918) It has been more than three years since we sent troops to Siberia, at a cost of 600 to 700 million yuan, and more than 3,000 people were sacrificed. What have we gained? It has attracted suspicion from other countries and resentment from the Russians, and complaints from the people at home, that's all!"
However, Japan was unwilling to fail and actively lobbied governments of various countries to impose an arms embargo on China and demanded that China respond to the spirit of the "Washington Treaty" and implement troop reductions in order to suppress China's development in terms of military strength. At the same time, he instructed Manchuria Railway and other institutions to prepare for a financial war in the Northeast to destroy the economic foundation of the Feng clique.
Zhang Hanqing is not afraid of this. When China is building tractors and cars in the fight for industry, Toyota is still playing with looms. Under his leadership, China started faster than Japan and its starting point was much higher.
In terms of international trade, between 1916 and 1919, Japan's exports to China increased by 159.6%, its proportion of China's foreign trade increased from 23% in 1913 to 43.5% in 1918, and its investment in China jumped from fourth place before the war to It is on par with the UK in first place. In contrast, China has very little investment in Japan, and it is completely in a state of deficit, which makes China suffer no loss.
After another three years of development, the military-industrial capabilities of the Fengcheng faction have risen to a new level. They are so huge that even Japan dare not look directly at them. This is why Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing dare to withstand Japan.
The Shenyang Arsenal achieved an annual output of 150 mountain artillery pieces the year before last, and last year it was increased to 180 pieces due to expansion of production. In this way, those who are close to the water are first served. The ten divisions of the Fengjun already have full artillery regiments, and the People's Army has also equipped them. Six divisions, and the other divisions were equipped with at least one artillery battalion.
Considering the huge investment in various arsenals, the monthly production capacity of the Shenyang arsenal alone has doubled this year, not to mention that the arsenals in Lanzhou and Hanyang have begun large-scale mass production. Assuming that there are still four months until the end of the year, plus the artillery collected by various local miscellaneous units, it is no longer a matter of equipping all divisional artillery regiments of the People's Army before the end of the year.
In terms of mortars, the Liao 11 80mm and 150mm models were developed and put into production in 1922. This heavy mortar, which is easy to carry and plays a great role in infantry fire support, is the first large-caliber mortar in China. It shows that Fengjun is already at the forefront of various warlords in terms of weapon development.
This is not enough.
Due to the popularization of artillery, it has become more convenient to study the performance of artillery. Therefore, Fengjun is also at the forefront of the country in improving artillery equipment. In the past, the observation equipment of artillery units mainly consisted of artillery scopes. Later, precision telemeters became popular.
The Northeast Artillery has mastered the shooting technology of unobserved test firing and effective firing as shown in the picture, as well as the latest artillery technology of occupying sheltered positions, which was advanced in the country at that time.
In addition, there is the only one in ChinaA total of 24 155mm heavy howitzers from the Anhui border defense force were also organized into heavy artillery regiments and joined the Fengjun sequence, under the direct jurisdiction of the Central Military Commission.
Zhang Hanqing is also preparing to build a new production line at the Shenyang Arsenal to trial-produce larger-caliber cannons and howitzers on the basis of the existing 75mm mountain cannon.
It should be noted that although the Army Division of the Republic of China followed the Japanese army's establishment, its divisional artillery was much more advanced in organization. Its artillery regiments were all standard 54 guns, instead of the Japanese army's 36 guns. At that time, there were 18 guns. The organization of the artillery battalion is rare in the world.
The reason for this organization must be that China has been devastated by artillery and giant ships since the Opium War. It is a firepower priority theory coming from the upper echelons of the military. Anyway, although the national strength was weak at the time of Beiyang, the Beiyang Army Division was equipped with real equipment. Compared with the later divisions that were not full of personnel and had no artillery and horses, they were incomparable.
The 18-gun artillery battalion was more powerful than the 12-gun artillery battalion commonly used by various countries at the time. Not to mention, the firepower response speed was faster than that of the 12-gun artillery battalion, especially the Japanese Army that used 3 companies and 4 guns at that time. Twice as fast.
The advantage of this organization is that at that time, the most basic tactical artillery position was the artillery company-level position. When an artillery position composed of 6 artillery pieces needed to adjust the horizontal shooting angle, most of them only needed to move in place to adjust the shooting angle of the artillery itself. In particular, the effect became more prominent after the Guan retreated artillery was heavily equipped with the Beiyang Army.
At that time, when the Japanese Army's artillery battery adjusted the horizontal firing angle, the number of times it needed to move the artillery position was 3 or 4 times that of the 6-gun artillery battery.
In addition, each infantry regiment of the Fengtian Army is equipped with a 12-gun mortar company, and each infantry company is equipped with a 3-machine gun squad.
Although the number of weapons is not enough now, considering that Hanyang Arsenal and Lanzhou Ordnance Factory have begun to produce small quantities of artillery and mass-produce machine guns and mortars, a large amount of equipment is distributed to the army every day. Fengjun and the People's Army The strength is only stronger than one day.
As for the Japanese's demand for China to disarm, the Zhangs and his son clearly understood the Japanese's evil intentions: the country is divided into pieces, and the army is not even enough to defend the country, and it has to be abolished. It is really a ridiculous thing in the world!
However, in response to public opinion, Zhang Hanqing stated that the People's Army will no longer add new army divisions and maintain the current designation of 13 divisions. However, he also privately ordered qualified troops to appropriately increase the number of recruits, and in the future, the system of 2 brigades and 4 regiments will be transformed into a "reinforced division" of 2 brigades and 6 regiments.
This is the practice of changing the soup without changing the medicine.
Under the favorable situation of the nationwide anti-Japanese war, at 1:00 pm on the 12th, the elite 4th Division of the Central China People's Army, which had already been assembled in Bengbu and on standby, boarded a train and rushed to Jinan, the front line of the anti-Japanese war in North China, preparing to fight hard against hard and end Japan's offensive on the Jiaoji Line control.
At this time, due to the signing of the "Washington Treaty", Japan had been forced to withdraw from its army in Shandong, leaving only some road guards to "maintain" the order of the Jiaoji Line.
The Jiaoji Line is the gateway to and from Shandong from the sea. It is also connected to the Jinpu Line (Beijing-Shanghai Line), so its location is very important. How could Zhang Hanqing, who had been eyeing this opportunity for a long time, let go of this good opportunity? If the Japanese road guards dare to stop them, they can just start fighting; if they don't stop them, the People's Army can directly enter Shandong.
Although Tian Zhongyu, the governor of Lu, knew that the people's army came with bad intentions and "asked the gods to come in and save the gods," he not only did not dare to protest when the "all people resisted Japan", but even pretended to express welcome and full support.
The direct flank territory, which had been inaccessible for many years through all possible means, finally opened its door at this time. Zhang Hanqing originally wanted to use this opportunity to enter Shandong, and he finally understood why Chiang Kai-shek had to "fight the outside world first and settle the inside first": if he is not careful, the political power will really fall apart!
With the growth of the Feng Faction and the People's Army and their toughness against Japan, people of insight in Japan have expressed concerns, believing that a unified China will have an unpredictable impact on Japan's interests in China.
Due to the defeat of the Anhui clique and the fading out of Duan Qirui, it was too late for Japan to support its agents in China again, and there was currently no more influential force in the political arena of the Republic of China than the Zhili and Fengcheng cliques.
The key point is that the People's Army is really fighting, but Japan is not ready yet
The Zhili family is a long-established British and American agent. Although it is currently replaced by Zhang Hanqing, it is a bit difficult for them to turn around and fall into the arms of the Japanese due to their disconnected relationship.
The Feng Faction has become too big to lose, and its strength has far exceeded any force in China. If they want them to surrender, Japan does not have such a big trump card.
The Kuomintang, headed by Sun Yat-sen, seems to have always had a good relationship with Japan. Unfortunately, a hairless phoenix is ??not as good as a chicken. After losing the Guangdong base camp, apart from having some moral influence, it has made no military achievements. This is a bottomless pit, and the Japanese do not want to It's a waste of resources.
what to do?
Zhang Hanqing has already given the answer on behalf of Fengxi. On the occasion of celebrating the fifth anniversary of the founding of the People's Party in 1922, he announced to the country, Japan, Britain, the United States, and the world that China would cherish the hard-won peace, respect the Nine-Power Convention, and recognize the provisions of the Treaty of Portsmouth. As for Japan, the Republic of China government will adopt a more open attitude to ensure the existing interests of various countries in China.
He concluded that China’s biggest task at this stage is to integrate resources, eliminate poverty, and build a unified government of the Republic of China. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)p;What to do?

Western governments led by the United States speak highly of this. They see that China's future leaders (most likely) will "recognize" the United States' "open door" policy.
“In fact, the so-called open door is just a reform and opening up that has weakened sovereignty. At this stage, China has no chance of rejecting it unless it is baptized and won by a large-scale war, such as the liberation war in history.
Accepting the "open door" is just to use this policy to minimize the monopoly ambitions of an enemy, especially Japan, against China, such as the September 18th Incident and the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. When China is strong enough to close the door easily, then it can sneak over and then open the door to rob the thief. This is Zhang Hanqing's humble opinion.
The United States welcomed this and believed that this was a sign that the Fengcian clique was moving closer to it. However, the interests of British forces in China, especially those in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, were not touched, and therefore they acquiesced in the People's Army's encroachment on the Zhili clique's territory.
Japan has opinions, but Zhang Hanqing has no intention of depriving its important lifeline "Kandong Prefecture" at present, so they have little rebound.
Because Zhang Hanqing knew very well that after the First World War, Japan acquired the lease rights of the "Kwantung State", the right to operate the Manchurian Railway, the administrative rights to the Manchurian Railway-affiliated areas, the right to station the army, the right to prohibit the parallel lines of the Manchurian Railway, and the railway loan Rights, mining rights, land commercial lease rights, etc. have always been regarded as forbidden and should not be tampered with.
This is Japan's bottom line. If it goes beyond this step, it will greatly stimulate the "feelings" of the Japanese people and lead to war - the "kind" Japanese people have already regarded this place as their home.
China cannot currently break the treaty, even if it is an unequal treaty, because this will shake the trust foundation of the great powers, especially Britain and the United States, in the Fengxian guarantee of their interests in China - you can eat away at it without hurting the principle, but you cannot deny it. . Especially under realistic conditions, it is not advisable to make too many enemies.
But for other parts beyond the treaty, such as various privileges outside the territory, Fengxian implemented flexible restraints, which not only firmly restricted Japanese influence to Guandong Prefecture, Jiaodong and several Japanese concessions, but also made the Japanese speechless. . The national policy set by Zhang Hanqing at this stage is to target Japan and ease relations with other powers.
International games follow the iron rule of geometry that "the sum of two sides is greater than the third side"; in professional terms of international politics, a country cannot conflict with two big countries at the same time. No big country in the world has the power to compete with more than two big countries. Confrontation between great powers.
At first, the ancient Romans only fought for self-defense, first with the Gauls in the north, and then with the Carthaginians in the south. After winning the victory, they continued to attack the entire Mediterranean countries. The result was enmity on all sides and "barbarian" opponents from all directions. came and caused the instant collapse of the Roman Empire;
At the beginning of the 19th century, Napoleon fought against the British and achieved great victory. Then in 1912, he led a bold invasion into Russia and suffered defeat in the following three years;
In the 1940s, Germany's Hitler began to oppose Britain and won Western Europe. In 1941, when he was proud, he marched straight to Russia, and was defeated in three years. At the same time, Japan began to go to war with China, winning initially, and at the end of 1941, it The United States went to war and failed three years later;
In the 1950s, the United States faced China and the Soviet Union on the Korean battlefield, and the United States was defeated in three years; in the Vietnam battlefield in the 1960s, the United States still faced off against China and the Soviet Union. The time was longer, but the result was a loss of face.
During the Brezhnev period, the Soviet Union was in full confrontation with China and the United States. As a result, the Soviet Union was quickly defeated and disintegrated during the Gorbachev period.
After George W. Bush came to power in the early 21st century, he even named seven so-called "axis of evil" countries to challenge him. The result is what we see now: the United States is a tiger that eats the sky, and it collapsed after the tiger's power was exhausted
On the contrary, those who win in these strategic games are the politicians who minimize their opponents and minimize their attack surface. These politicians will never choose two opponents to fight at the same time. The most classic example is China's self-defense counterattack against India in 1962.
In 1962, China was facing severe natural disasters. Chiang Kai-shek was preparing to counterattack the mainland in the southeast. The Soviet Union caused the "exodus" of Xinjiang residents in the north. India took the opportunity to encroach on Chinese territory on the Sino-Indian border. Among these three dangers, Chairman Mao attacked from the southwest, which had the least damage, and cleverly took advantage of the Cuban missile crisis to control the war within a limited scope.
On October 20, the United States blocked Cuban waters, and the Soviet Union and the United States were at war with each other. China counterattacked across the board that day. On November 20, Kennedy announced the final end to the blockade, and on November 21, the Soviet Union also lifted its mobilization order for the army. On that day, China instituted a comprehensive ceasefire against India.
The choice of fighter aircraft has never given a third country the opportunity to intervene and enable India to gain allies. a battleAfter that, the surrounding opponents basically died down. In 1964, Khrushchev was ousted, Nehru died, and China successfully tested an atomic bomb. This opens up China’s security landscape. This military experience of great Mao is really worth summarizing for future generations.
Zhang Hanqing also wants to overthrow imperialist aggression in China, whether it is Japan, Britain and the United States, or the Soviet Union, which currently has a similar concept of one-party dictatorship. But according to China's national conditions, it is impossible at this stage anyway.
Not to mention the United States, which already ranks first in the world in industrial economy, or the United Kingdom, which is "declining" as an empire. Its maritime power is no longer what China can rely on. There is also China's thousand-year sting, and its strong neighbor Japan, which has plunged China into fear of national subjugation. Each one seems like an insurmountable high wall, weighing heavily on China.
Britain and the United States are thousands of miles away. They have no territorial covetousness towards China, only disputes over interests. A war with Britain and the United States will drag China into a bottomless abyss, and there will be no winner in the end.
Japan is different. Japan, which has been striving for development in Northeast Asia, cannot afford to fight a large-scale war of attrition due to its national strength and geographical limitations. Its military strength, except for China at sea, cannot be compared for the time being. , China on land has no need to worry about it.
According to the development trend of the People's Army, it won't be long before China's advantages over Japan will be revealed. At that time, one thing rose and another disappeared, and the situation was completely different.
So in terms of time, China needs to delay. In terms of policy, China needs to support itself. In terms of current strategy, China needs peace and Fengtian needs peace.
It is fair to assume that Japan does not dare to take action - even if it takes action, it will be quickly stopped - there are already British and American capital industries in the Northeast and Bohai Sea area, and it will not be good for everyone if it is destroyed. And if the Feng faction is really determined to fight Japan to the death, Japan will not have much confidence in winning. Even if we win, if we win miserably, and if we can no longer get compensation from China, it will not be worth the loss.
At this time, Japanese Prime Minister Tomosaburo Kato was Japan's chief representative and person in charge of disarmament affairs at the Washington Conference. Although he had been the chief of staff of the Combined Fleet during the Russo-Japanese War, he was the second-ranking figure in the fleet, and he was also the trumpeter who advocated the establishment of the "Eight-Eight Fleet" , but in order to cope with the fact that the economic downturn after World War I required fiscal consolidation and disarmament, he reluctantly announced that he had given up the plan to establish the "Eighty-Eight Fleet":
Abandoned the construction plan of fourteen battleships, suspended the manufacture of six battleships, laid off 7,500 sailors below corporals, and laid off 14,000 workers; the Army also began to reduce the number of troops by 60,000, and withdrew from Siberia
He is a prime minister with a military background and has a high degree of policy implementation.
In this environment, it is impossible for Japan to become an enemy of China. This is also a big gamble made by Zhang Hanqing. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

The reason why the Fengtian faction dares to challenge Japan is that the improvement of equipment and the ability to expand military power due to the rise of economic strength are important factors. In addition, because financial and economic policies and land policies are in place, the lives of ordinary people have become better. This is the reason for the stability of the People's Party's regime in the Northeast. Mass Basis.
Since military actions are subject to various constraints, it is very desirable to defeat the Feng clique economically. The key is that the Feng Clan has now formed a huge industrial chain, and its military production is also large-scale. It will be difficult to fundamentally defeat it.
The Japanese government is increasingly aware that the Fengzhi government is a stumbling block in its pursuit of economic interests in China: the amount of grain produced in Northeast China alone in the past year is enough to feed North China, Northeast China and other places, thus cutting off Japan's domestic export of rice. Opportunities - the price of rice in the Northeast is much lower than that in the country. Now in many places in Japan, due to high food prices, many trading companies import large quantities of rice from the Northeast and sell it at high prices. The government is indifferent to this. ask.
The same goes for raw materials: Northeast China is rich in coal and iron resources. The key is to increase the supporting industrial processing capacity. Some products related to the national economy and people's livelihood can be produced in the three northeastern provinces, Tianjin, Rehe and other places. This is objectively This eliminates the possibility of Japan getting out of the crisis by dumping goods.
Without a huge consumer market like China, it will take more time for Japan to pull itself out of the quagmire of the economic crisis.
For a country, controlling imports and increasing exports are the only ways to increase foreign exchange earnings. It is relatively difficult for Japan to export to China, especially Northeast and North China, because there are a large number of industrial groups in the Feng clan that have formed monopolies, and there is no way out unless they are defeated; while exporting to the interior of China is difficult to achieve scale due to inconvenient transportation.
"Control imports. Apart from grain and mineral materials, China currently has nothing to export to Japan. China has lagged behind for decades and now mainly meets domestic demand, and its output is self-supporting.
Japan cannot enter or go deeper into the huge Chinese market. When China becomes saturated and stands on the same starting line as Japan, it will be Japan’s nightmare.
So we must defeat the Feng system. And to overthrow the Feng clique, we must overthrow him economically. The most likely economic problem for the Feng Clan is the large-scale expiration of its treasury bills and food stamps.
Originally, only 60 million treasury bills with a term of one, two, or three years were issued at the end of 1918. Because it was the first time, and the public's recognition of it was not high, they were forced to "buy" it for one year. period.
By the end of 1919, the Northeast Autonomous Government returned the cash in full and fully paid the interest at the agreed value of 5%, which made the people feel reassured. When Treasury bills were issued again, there was a small-scale rush to buy them. In this way, the issuance amount of 150 million at the end of 1919 was still sold out.
Of course, at this time, everyone still chose the one-year term-it is relatively safer.
240 million was issued at the end of 1920 and 360 million was issued at the end of 1921
It’s time for a new round of issuance. How much is better? Since the government's credit is very strong, some families who have accumulated a small amount of money still invest their money in treasury bills. Many people exchange them first and then buy a new issue. Therefore, the government does not need to keep so much spare money in its hands. Instead, it should keep a small amount for turnover purposes, and the rest should be invested in expanding reproduction or industrial, agricultural, and transportation construction.
By the end of 1922, it is planned to put 500 million into the market, and it will be put on the market one after another after September.
??Also in September, the Japanese Manchurian Railway Company, the Consul in Shenyang, and the Kanto Civil Affairs Department jointly negotiated with Zhang Zuolin about the redemption of industrial and mining forest land near Manchurian Railway.
Zhang Zuolin's old friend Shigeru Yoshida said sincerely: "Marshuai Zhang, you know that the domestic economic situation of the Empire of Japan has not been optimistic for two consecutive years. Many of our companies and banks have collapsed. The government is trying to save them. I have been ordered to raise funds accordingly." Capital returned to China to tide over this crisis."
This situation has been verified by Zhang Hanqing through the personnel of the Central Investigation Department of the People’s Party in Japan and the Chinese Embassy and Consulate in Japan. The reason why it is said to be verification is that Zhang Hanqing once learned about Japan's economic depression in the 1920s in history.
In 1920, marked by the collapse of stock prices on the Tokyo and Osaka stock exchanges, Japan's postwar economic crisis began. During the crisis, instead of carrying out a thorough rectification of the financial sector, the government implemented an overly large relief policy and an irresponsible proactive fiscal policy. Starting from February 1920, the amount of loans of Tokyo-Osaka Bank began to exceed the amount of deposits, and it showed a trend of increasing month by month.
Although the government has saved a number of companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy, it has also laid hidden dangers for the future development of the Japanese economy. Moreover, the domestic price level is much higher than the international price level, resulting in? to make a deal. "
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "I want Han Yeping's Japanese shares."
This is a try.
Hanyeping is Japan's bridgehead in central China. It not only has huge economic interests, but also controls the coal and iron necessary for Chinese industry. If it agrees, it will of course be a huge benefit to the Fengtian faction; if it disagrees, the Fengtian faction will not lose anything, and it can also block Yoshida Shigeru's mouth. The incident happened suddenly, and I didn't understand what the Japanese wanted to do. Before, he didn't dare to agree to anything rashly.
Shigeru Yoshida thought for a while and said: "This issue involves a wide range of issues. I need to communicate with the relevant companies and cannot reply to you immediately. You know, I can only represent the government, and the specific tasks are still decided by the companies involved. But I believe that as long as the price is right, your requirements can be met."

Chapter 571 Before the Storm

Dalian, in the Guandong Hall. The masters in Japan's financial circles sat around and listened quietly to the plan implemented by Masahiko Amakasu, the chairman of the board of directors of Mitei:
“According to our information and our calculations, Zhang Zuolin’s government now has almost no money left, and it has all been invested in related industry and commerce:
Northeast Bank's current total loan amount is 470 million, with a balance of 35.62 million; Northeast Agricultural Bank's total loan amount is 550 million, with a balance of 22 million; Northeast Bank of Communications The total loan amount is 340 million, and the balance is 31 million All in all, they have about 119 million in liquidity.
Through communication with the core figure of the Feng Faction, Shao Shuai, he wanted Han Yeping's shares. This may be related to his desire to provide raw materials for his Hanyang Arsenal nearby. My guess is he's testing. If this condition cannot be met, our plan will be difficult to implement. Therefore, we need to contact the country to meet his needs as soon as possible——after all, he will still sell it to us at a low price after the matter is completed!
Other negotiation projects must also be accelerated. We can conditionally sell some factories and mines to the Feng Clan at a level slightly lower than the actual price. We need cash and will also accept loans from their banks.
From now on, all major financial institutions, trading companies, and clubs must arrange personnel to speed up the purchase of treasury bills, and strive to complete the purchase of at least 200 million yuan within a month. The bigger the better.
May wish to inform everyone that the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in Tianjin has been ordered to jointly collect the subscription coupons issued by the Department in Tianjin at a high price. They have allocated an amount of up to 150 million yen from domestic sources. Adding our amount, we can get a total of 400 million yuan worth of treasury bills, and then sell them at the same time!
By then, their banks will not be able to absorb so many bonds because of the little money they have left. Not only will redemption cease, but it will also affect the credit of the issued treasury bonds, thus dashing their last hope of raising funds through the issuance of treasury bonds!
In this way, what we have lost now will be regained soon. We can also use this to control a larger territory than before, control a larger industrial and agricultural scale, and control several more powerful banks in the Northeast. When the time comes, we will have to overthrow Zhang Zuolin and support the agents again!
Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has made a request to the countries where the "Four Nations Banking Group" is located not to provide loans to major banks and government agencies in the Northeast. In exchange, we will transfer our interests in western Liaoning and the Beijing-Fenghuang Road.
Everyone, this is a game of power and a huge financial investment for us in the Northeast. For this reason, the Military Ministry and the Prime Minister withstood the opposition of the Tibetan Prime Minister and allocated such a large amount of funds from the national treasury. Come here to fight a beautiful battle in the Northeast!
We hope that after this battle, we can not only wipe out the achievements in the Northeast over the past few years, but also reverse our unfavorable situation in the Northeast. Therefore, for the sake of the Japanese Empire, please work together! "
Shenyang City in mid-autumn is shrouded in golden leaves. Autumn is the harvest season.
Japan’s domestic funds must be very tight, otherwise major Japanese companies would not be able to sell off the various industry positions they have finally obtained in China so easily. Starting in September, a wave of sales began to flood into major banks under the management of the Northeast Autonomous Government |
Under the decisions of the provincial governments, major banks accepted a large number of Japanese enterprises, equipment, and mines owned near the Nanman-Manchurian Line and various branch lines. The daily transaction volume remained high. On one day, the largest number was Northeast Industrial Bank. Fifty million yuan spent on sex. Due to the shortage of funds, the Tohoku Bank, as the head office, ordered all commercial banks to stop external loans and concentrate funds for the purchase of Japanese-related industries.
Because it’s such a good deal!
It’s not that the price is low, but that in this era, many things cannot be exchanged for money, and it can also integrate the industrial industries of the Feng clan. In Jilin, there is even a situation where Japanese industries have been cleared out of an area hundreds of miles long. Besides, the base price offered by the Japanese is really not expensive. This kind of business is a waste of time!
What makes Zhang Hanqing very happy is that more than 50% of the shares of Han Zhiping Company changed hands in less than five days. The transaction amount was 33 million yuan, which used up almost all of the Shanghai Branch of Northeast Agricultural Bank of China. Liquidity. This big business solved all the bottlenecks in the construction of Central China in one fell swoop, and gave him the opportunity to form a wonderful relationship with the Sheng family
However, the northeastern provincial government, which originally felt that construction investment funds were in short supply, felt that funds were even more valuable. Fortunately, through emergency negotiations with various corporate trusts, they came up with almost all of their book funds of about 100 million to repay the banks. , and then dilute it again through the bank to establish a larger trust
In order to effectively control these things, Zhang Hanqing was already big enough.Giant companies that will become even bigger in the future have already taken shares in the name of banks, forming a nest. In this way, the government's management of industry giants only needs to go through the central bank and several major commercial banks. You must know that these commercial banks actually Many of them are his people
The 100 million yuan was quickly wiped out, together with the original 119 million yuan of bank liquidity, the 160 million yuan of fiscal surplus deposited into banks by governments at all levels, and the 220 million yuan in savings recently absorbed. Not to mention, the 600 million yuan originally used as reserves has also been used by 200 million yuan
In less than a month, Northeast China has concentrated all its financial resources and acquired about 800 million yuan of industrial and commercial enterprises, which fully demonstrates the effectiveness of Northeast China’s New Deal in recent years.
Of course, there are many experts in the financial field who have warned. Yu Aozhou, the president of the Northeast Bank, which is affiliated with the Central Bank of China, told Zhang Hanqing: This situation is very unsafe. In case of a malicious run, especially the 500 million as a bet. When the issuance of Yuan treasury bills goes unfavorably, Northeast Finance will be ruined!
Of course, this situation is extremely unlikely to happen, but as one of Zhang Hanqing’s closest economic think tanks, he has the obligation to make this reminder.
If the sales of new treasury bonds are not in good condition and funds cannot be returned, it may affect the redemption of treasury bonds and Tianjin enterprise subscription bonds that expire this year - this is a huge capital of 670 million yuan, accounting for 10% of the total capital controlled by the "National Unification Council" More than half of all assets placed.
Any disturbance in the market can cause a chain reaction, which is also the essence of the butterfly effect. If the major banks in the Northeast are unable to collect expired treasury bills, it will cause a panic run, and the banks there will have to completely exchange this huge capital, but at this time the banks will have no money left due to continued acquisitions
Once this happens, it will inevitably lead to a run, and banks will go bankrupt without foreign aid And industrial trusts without bank support are very likely to have a chain reaction after all their liquidity is occupied. As a result, production and sales will be affected, and they will not be able to provide money to banks. Losing funds will exacerbate the banking industry's predicament and eventually lead to its collapse, which will then affect the industry
This will fundamentally destroy the achievements of the Northeast over the past many years, or declare the company to close down, or let others slaughter it. The huge capital collected by the Japanese is waiting to reap the results.
A net has been pulled up. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

"Compared with the Japanese's high-profile acquisition of treasury bills, the Northeast Finance Department, the General Finance Department, and the Northeast Bank seem to be unaware of it.
They are too careless, thinking that Japan has too much to take care of itself. How could they give Northeastern's fragile finances a blow at this time? As long as no one stirs up trouble, treasury bills remain in good standing, and banks maintain normal deposit-taking and lending operations, everything will be safe.
But suddenly, there was an overwhelming wave of people redeeming the 1921 and 1922 treasury bills from inside the customs to outside the customs. Starting from October 1, many people flocked to the business offices of major banks in the Northeast both inside and outside the customs, asking to exchange treasury bills.
Just redeem it, it is already due, and I have reserved cash waiting to be exchanged in various places. It has been two years and there has never been a problem. Not only that, after many people got their principal and interest back, they bought the next year's treasury bills with the temporarily unused principal. In addition to the portion sold at the same time, banks basically don't need to withdraw too much cash.
This time is different.
Every day, many people came to redeem it, and later it became an institution. In the past few days, branches in Tianjin, Tangshan, Changchun, and Qiqihar have been in panic: the exchange amount for several consecutive days has far exceeded the limit they can bear, and this trend is getting worse. It is obvious that there is a run!
They asked the head office to transfer cash and make early preparations, because in theory there could be a large sales of treasury bills, but the people who were waiting and watching ignored them!
This surprise is no small matter.
Governments and banking institutions in various places are alert and they send manpower to find out the cause. At this time, they may not have thought that this was a premeditated and large-scale financial crisis.
As the central bank, Tohoku Bank felt the pressure a few days ago: due to the purchase of Japanese assets in China, the remaining liquidity of major banks was exhausted, and the head office reserve was only 400 million, which was all the assets of Tohoku. To cope with the upcoming maturity of 670 million treasury bills.
Yu Aozhou held urgent consultations with the presidents of major banks, provincial governors, and directors of the General Department of Finance and the General Department of Finance, and established several emergency measures: requiring all localities to ensure that bank depositors do not have large-scale withdrawals; local governments Government officials should take the lead in purchasing treasury bills, which is a political task; all branches and sub-branches are not allowed to lend from now on.
Northeast Bank also proposed to send 100 million yuan in cash to branches in Tianjin, and 100 million yuan in cash to be circulated to various places in the customs. These may seem like a lot, but when divided into various places, they seem to be a drop in the bucket. In one day, they were all sold out!
By October 5, a larger-scale sell-off began: Japanese institutions took out their backlog of various types of treasury bills to banks and asked for cash. Since it was an institutional action, all banks were ordered to inform: Because there was no appointment, according to regulations, you need to apply three days in advance before you can withdraw money.
The Japanese are very proud. Three days is all. What do you do? In order to prevent Chinese banks from using high interest rates to absorb deposits, major Japanese banks in the Northeast, such as Zhengjin Bank, Chosun Bank, Manchuria Bank, and Zhenglong Bank, have listed their policies to attract deposits from major institutions and business outlets: the annual interest rate is agreed to be 10%. , which is twice the interest rate on one-year Treasury bills!
This made the plan agreed by Yu Aozhou and others to use the word "drag" to give the major banks in the Northeast time to vigorously absorb deposits, so as to prepare to absorb deposits at an interest rate of 8%.
What makes people feel even more desperate is that because the banks refused to redeem money, violent rumors started in various places: the major banks in the Northeast were empty of funds and their deposits were likely to be wiped out. So from that day onwards, many ordinary people gathered around various business offices. I asked to withdraw money in advance at the counter, and ignored the interest loss repeatedly informed by the bank
Since there is no money to be attracted from the market and there is not enough money to redeem treasury bills, what about borrowing money from foreign countries?
??The Tianjin Branch of HSBC, the largest British-funded institution in China, said: "No!" The financial market in Northeast China is in chaos, and they still want to get involved. Besides, they still have an agreement between the governments, right?
Shanghai is China’s largest financial center and there is a lot of hot money there. How about withdrawing funds from there? Slowness will not help, and the results will be ineffective. This is the disadvantage of not burning incense on a regular basis and just improvising: I have never contacted you and suddenly you have to borrow such a huge amount of capital. Are you kidding me? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that what happened in the Northeast this time was a complete financial crisis!
Although the People’s Party government has mobilized party members and cadres from all over the country to promote the need to work together to overcome difficulties, there are not many people who dare to buy treasury bills, but not many people go to Japanese financial institutions to deposit money.
Most of them withdraw their deposits or treasury bills in cash, and then carefully hide them at home, or if they have "experience", they simply sell them at a low price and turn them into cash, which makes the actual price comparison between "Fengyang dollar" banknotes and silver dollars on the black market change from The previous situation was almost equal to the current ratio of 3:2 or even more
For several days in a row, the stocks of several major Northeastern banks in the Harbin Securities Market have fallen one after another. The most powerful Northeast Industrial Bank once fell below 15%. This hopeless scene has increased the atmosphere of selling. The Harbin Securities Market cannot be tolerated at the weekend. Do not suspend trading one hour in advance.
This is the fault of several major Japanese banks, and it is also the highlight of the financial turmoil: the four Japanese banks, led by Zhengjin Bank, have previously purchased stocks worth about 400 million yuan in various banks, and are now selling the Manchuria Railway subsidiary. A total of 800 million yuan was realized from the assets, which were also obtained in various ways.
The four largest banks in Northeast China have a total share capital of 10.5 billion, and they account for more than 10%. The selling in this storm has dealt a fatal blow to each bank. If trading had not been suspended in advance, the losses would have been even greater.
The tension outside the wall seemed to have an impact on the Marshal's Mansion: some family members with private savings were looking for ways to exchange cash. Even the girl Chunni tried to test Yu Fengzhi several times. She had 400 yuan in the Northeast Agricultural Bank of China. Should money savings be withdrawn or withdrawn?
Yu Fengzhi's health is not very good, but it does not affect her hard work. At this critical moment, she dragged her sick body and took the lead in liquidating a lot of valuable jewelry and real estate, and deposited them in the endangered Northeast Agricultural Bank.
Although the huge financial difference seemed insignificant, her determination to work together with her father-in-law and husband was unanimously recognized by the commander-in-chief.
She also often told people in the Marshal's Mansion: "'Where the skin is gone, the hair will be attached.' If something happens to the bank in the end, ordinary people will suffer the loss. What's the use of the big guy just exchanging the money?" ?”
A nation thrives in times of crisis, and times of crisis reveal the people’s hearts the most. The military and political officials of the Feng clan, headed by Zhang Zuolin, donated gold and silver, exchanged them for cash, and deposited them in major banks in Northeast China for emergency relief.
Some people here are tied up in banks because of their larger assets - their property has become the shares of various banks - and they invest regardless of the cost when it is possible to win back the situation; the other part It is being carried along to join.
At the same time, the People's Party promptly launched the massive "Love Fengtian Bonds" campaign to reject the artificial devaluation of banknotes caused by black market transactions, which put the once rampant foreign bond transactions at a disadvantage. But all this will not help the deterioration of the financial situation (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 573 Crisis and Opportunity

This financial crisis, in a positive sense, is a completely unforeseen general exercise, and it is also a review of the Fengcun's ability to handle the crisis, headed by the old and young marshals. Their performance in the face of interests also tests their team cohesion; on the downside, if they are not careful, the new policies in Northeast China in the past few years may be ruined by others.
The proud Japanese feel that they should close the network.
It is not their expectation to completely destroy the business in the Northeast. Taking this opportunity to inject funds into the major banks in the Northeast and control the major industrial trusts controlled by them is the key point, because Zhang Hanqing's Northeast New Deal is formed using banks as a link to unite the power of the entire Northeast. In several very large-scale industries, bank capital injections accounted for the absolute majority.
The advantage of this is that it can absorb hot capital to the maximum extent and quickly grow bigger and stronger. When the country is stable, banks will be considered to give way to private capital Of course, the advantage to the Japanese is that as long as they control these banks, they are in control. Almost all industrial groups in Northeast China.
The leading figures in Shenyang, headed by Shigeru Yoshida, came to the Marshal's Mansion again at the request of the person behind them to meet with Zhang Zuolin to discuss the plan to rescue the Northeast with the help of the Japanese.
The leading figures in the Northeast’s financial and economic circles have always been discussing strategies at the Marshal’s Mansion. This time, even Zhang Zuoxiang from the military, Wang Yongjiang from the political circles, and Wu Junsheng from the Black Province are here. One can imagine how the situation has deteriorated. Did Zhang Zuolin think of using force to resolve this crisis? If so, congratulations, we can reasonably intervene again!
Yoshida Shigeru first expressed to Zhang Zuolin the Japanese government's deep concern about whether the Northeastern governments could tide over the difficulties. He said: "On the order of our government, I once again consulted Marshal Zhang for his opinion to see if It is necessary for our government to inject funds to alleviate the difficulties you are facing."
Zhang Zuolin was not so "arrogant" this time. He looked at the group of veteran generals around him who were in trouble with him and said in a deep voice: "Isn't it necessary? We should have a way to raise a sum of funds" Hesitantly, Even he couldn't believe it himself.
Yoshida Shigeru interrupted him with a smile: "Marshuai Zhang, we might as well speak openly. Do you think you can raise enough funds to deal with the current situation within two days? According to my information, although some people in your country choose In order to stop cashing the treasury bills you issued, you still need to cash in the large maturing bonds worth 600 million yuan. In addition, to restore the confidence of the financial market, you need at least another 600 million yuan. As your usual friend, Big The Japanese Empire can assist you in resolving your current predicament."
Zhang Zuolin seemed unsure but unwilling to give in: "I'm working hard to raise money. Maybe it won't be long before the situation turns dangerous."
Yoshida Shigeru is confident: "Work hard? Marshal, do you know how much this will cost? Waiting will only make the situation worse!"
Zhang Hanqing couldn't help it: "Mr. Yoshida, you just said that you have a way to help solve the current predicament. Is it true or not?"
Yoshida Shigeru smiled: "Young Marshal, as a consul of the empire, I take full responsibility for my words! As far as I know, the empire's capital in China currently has about 600 million maturing treasury bills left in the market. As long as they choose By suspending the exchange, you will have a large amount of funds to exchange in full for other small amounts. As long as the people can exchange it, their confidence will naturally be restored. When confidence is restored, the stocks of the Natural Securities Exchange are no exception. Such a place Live, live in one piece.”
Zhang Hanqing nodded, "That's right." He remembered the financial crisis in later generations: "Isn't it just the word confidence?"
These two words are more important than each other. The market must see real things: good reputation, convertibility, potential for continued appreciation, and currency that does not shrink. All of these require strong leverage support, and leverage is a large amount of start-up capital. In this sense, this is true of economic crises in the past and in the future.
Zhang Hanqing asked again: "What conditions are Japanese friends prepared to use in exchange for their commitment not to redeem treasury bills and intervene in the securities market?"
Finally, we got to the point.
Yoshida Shigeru said with a smile: "I have fully consulted with my colleagues in our country before coming. They believe that your government does not have sufficient ability to control the central bank status of Tohoku Bank, so we hope that your government will reorganize the current Tohoku Bank. We used the amount of treasury bills as the principal amount to obtain 30% of the shares of Northeast Bank and obtained the original shareholder status. The remaining part will be transferred to the equity through negotiation with you - I know that you are the major shareholders behind the major banks in the Northeast. ."
Everyone was shocked. It turned out that the Japanese had a big plan. They actually wanted to use a small expenditure in exchange for such a big benefit. No wonder they were jumping up and down before, preferring to lose money to disrupt the financial order in Northeast China. It turns out that the crux of the matter is here!
The original shareholders are the future shareholders of the companyStocks issued before the market are generally synonymous with profit and wealth.
The total amount of the major banks in the Northeast was 5.8 billion yuan when they were first established. They were invested by the Feng clan elders who sold off their property in response to the Zhang family’s call to restrict land, real estate, and deposits in foreign banks. After two years of development, especially Zhang Hanqing legalized the 300 tons of gold he snatched before it was officially listed on the market, so Zhang Hanqing took the largest share, monopolizing nearly 4 billion;
Yu Aozhou also ranked second with 690 million due to the rapid expansion of Northeast Agricultural Bank;
Zhang Zuolin ranked third with 545 million yuan, and even Yu Fengzhi got a director position in Northeast Agricultural Bank because of his earliest investment of 5% and the 5% shares sold by the Yu family for 180 million yuan.
The elders who followed Zhang and his son also made a lot of money: after they bought shares, they moved several times with Zhang Hanqing. The key is that several major banks are in a monopoly position, and it is also the early stage, and all matters of the government and enterprises are at stake. Linked to these banks, the shares in their hands have doubled every year with doubled profits. They have at least quadrupled in the past few years. It is speculated that they jointly occupy an important position with 1.184 billion.
“However, because Zhang Hanqing was particularly focused on political and military results, he was less involved in reaping the fruits later. Fortunately, he had a large sum of gold in hand, otherwise his position as the hidden largest shareholder would have been snatched away.
Just because the Japanese hold 600 million treasury bills, they will get 30% of the original stock income? This is too dark! That's an amount worth more than 1.7 billion, a figure that Northeast China has not been able to make a net profit in the past few years! The Japanese are really generous: these 600 million will still have to be exchanged in the future, right?
This triggered the reaction of all those with vested interests in the Fengtian system: some of them were afraid of the Japanese, but the Japanese wanted to take their own benefits from them, so they had the courage to struggle. The reason why Zhang Hanqing designed it like this at the beginning was to unite the factions Now it seems that this approach is successful!
Wu Junsheng was the first to attack: "It's better to rob"
Yoshida Shigeru showed a rare sincere smile: "Marshuai Wu, if you have other ways, we don't have to talk anymore. In business, I just put forward opinions on their behalf. Whether you agree or not is up to you!
But I want to remind you that if the situation continues to deteriorate, I guarantee that next Monday, your losses will be much greater than this 30%! Imagine that once the bank goes bankrupt, your stocks will be worthless. At that time, not only will no one grab it, but even the toilet paper will be in panic, hahaha! "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 568 A sudden turn of events

Not to mention Shigeru Yoshida’s ugly face makes people feel disgusted. How could he, who originally looked like a gentleman, be so ugly when he gets carried away?
Of course, Zhang Hanqing flatly rejected him: "Mr. Yoshida, even if I rob the commander-in-chief's office, I will not agree to transfer 30% of the original shares!"
Yoshida Shigeru smiled: "Mr. Young Marshal, if it was useful to be the Marshal's Mansion, I don't think you need to tell me, it would have been pawned long ago! I can wait, but I'm afraid you can't afford to wait. When we meet again next time , I hope it’s not you who comes to beg me.”
He remembered something: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Marshal, my friend Hachiman wanted to repurchase the shares of Han Yeping Company that you bought last time. I wonder what price you will offer at that time? I forgot to remind you, In Shanghai, except for my friends, no one else dares to acquire your shares!"
Zhang Hanqing also smiled and said lightly: "We'll wait and see!"
The proud Japanese left without taking a single cloud with them.
The people in the Feng Faction were not as complaining, panicked or upset as Yoshida Shigeru and others imagined. They quickly entered the most heavily guarded meeting hall of the Marshal's Mansion.
Those sitting here are all shareholders of several major banks in the Northeast. To be precise, they are the bosses behind the scenes. They hold 60% of the shares of all banks, and they determine the fate of major banks in the Northeast, industrial and commercial enterprises in the Northeast, various trusts in the Northeast, and even the country.
Wu Junsheng first pointed out: "Sure enough, the young marshal was right. This is the best time to test our men. According to what the young marshal said, I didn't even tell my mother-in-law and let her cry for a few days. I sold a lot of jewelry just to make it look like it. Yoshida and the others want shares, so this should be their final goal, right?"
Zhang Hanqing also laughed: "Of course, you can give out more than a billion with nothing, which is more than the Boxer indemnity of the year. What else can you do? In order to bet on this, your niece-in-law sold out all her belongings."
Wang Yongjiang said to Aozhou with emotion: "When it comes to Feng Zhi, I'm not flattering you. It's really touching and respectful. She is one of the few women who can take the overall situation so seriously. She drags her sick body to use it as jewelry. , deceived the Japanese, thinking that the young ladies in the Marshal's Mansion were so poor that they had to be pawned, and then they decided that we couldn't bear it, so we dared to give it a try!"
Only Zhang Zuoxiang, Yu Aozhou and Zhang Hanqing and his son knew that Yu Fengzhi was not pretending, but was really holding on to his illness.
Zhang Zuolin said: "We are all grasshoppers tied to a rope. We are all prosperous, and we are all damaged. This principle should also be taught to our children and nephews. In the future, they will inherit our property and we must not let it fall away from them. ."
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT??
After chatting for a while, you didn’t even pay attention to the upcoming big fluctuations in the stock market. What’s wrong?
It was the steady Zhang Zuoxiang who revealed the mystery: "Young Marshal, has the payment from the northwest arrived?"
Zhang Hanqing said calmly: "I'm here early. I just want to take a look at the situation and let them blow the wind more violently, so that our sweep will be cleaner and more thorough!"
It turns out that when major Japanese companies and banks in China were purchasing treasury bills at high prices, the all-pervasive Central Investigation Department had already discovered such a big movement, and set up two bureaus specifically for Japan and the Japanese Consulate in Kanto | If the Central Investigation Department cannot find out, Gao Jiyi will go home to hold the child!
Japan mobilized a large amount of funds, signed a peace agreement with the banks of the four countries, and purchased bank stocks on a large scale at the Harbin Securities Exchange, which made Zhang Hanqing more sensitive after experiencing the 1998 financial crisis, the 2008 economic crisis, and the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis. If the Japanese attack the Northeast, this is an excellent tool and opportunity: large-scale redemption of treasury bills and lax financial supervision.
At this time, there were no channels to control hot money - territorial sovereignty was not even settled, and people were opening banks and companies at will. The Chinese government still wanted to stop this? The securities market that lacks supervision is very easy to be disrupted by people with ulterior motives. Just a hint of ulterior motives will immediately affect the financial market in Northeast China.
This is also the reason why he originally stored 600 tons of gold in two groups: he did not put his eggs in one basket.
There are very few people who know about this money, not even more than 5: Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Hanqing, Gao Jiyi, and Ji Yiqiao. Most of the officers and soldiers who participated in the robbery are now in central and southern China. They still think they are snatching arms - otherwise, why are the People's Army's equipment getting better and better?
After determining the purpose of the Japanese in various banks in the Northeast through various channels, Zhang Hanqing settled down. While dispatching a large amount of cash (exchangeable for gold) from Lanzhou, he planned to provide the Northeast with?? will be borne by one's own side. But in order to avoid greater losses, this loss can only be recognized.
In this battle, the Japanese banking industry suffered a total loss of 191 million yuan and fled with a huge loss.
? Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mitsubishi Bank, Amakasu, committed suicide, Chairman of Zhengjin Bank, Sato, resigned from his post. Bank of Japan and Bank of Montreal went bankrupt one after another, and the Bank of Korea also closed its business in Northeast China. In addition, a series of high-quality assets used as bait also lost tens of millions due to the sale. The key is that these industries have helped Fengxi Industrial achieve cross-domain integration, which is the biggest benefit.
Why is there such a comeback when the victory is already certain? The information from the banking industry in Northeast China should be accurate. Where did Zhang Zuolin and the others obtain the huge amount of funds? Following the funding sources of several major enterprises, it is clear that the money comes from the northwest region.
Is it the help of Soviet Russia? It's politically possible, but they don't have the strength to do it! The only possibility is that the gold was mysteriously missing!
Thinking of the drastic economic construction in northwest China and the dozens of piles of gold bars that appeared in Wuhan, the source of the funds can be explained! Based on this idea, the Japanese began to re-study that period of history, but would Zhang Zuolin and the others recognize it?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away and the major banks that made a lot of money announced that they would unconditionally exchange the expired treasury bills. Because of this good news, in the fall, four banks under the People's Government sold 1923 treasury bills to the public in the northeastern provinces, and all were sold out.

Chapter 575 Benefits

This major financial event in the Northeast has accelerated the pace of mergers in the Northeast's industrial and financial industries.
Seeing the power of unity, the major banks in Northeast China also need to have a backbone to jointly respond to challenges from all aspects of the market. Therefore, through equity transfer, Northeast Bank broke away from commercial activities and officially became the central bank of the "National Unification Council" and changed its name. for Bank of China.
According to the banking system, Northeast Agricultural Bank of China, Northeast Industrial Bank, Northeast Bank of Communications and China Construction Bank will all be commercial banks under the Bank of China and jointly assume the basic functions of banks. Twelve trusts in the Northeast have invested their total assets in Bank of China. Through this new round of financing, Bank of China's total equity has expanded from 10.5 billion yuan to 16 billion yuan.
Zhang Hanqing, Zhang Zuolin, Yu Aozhou, Wu Junsheng, Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang, Wang Yongjiang, Liu Shangqing, Yu Fengzhi and the chairman of 12 trusts, a total of 21 people, manage huge assets of 16 billion yuan as directors of Bank of China. Whether to raise funds in the future? Determined by majority shareholding. But when he saw the huge role of this position, Zhang Hanqing thought that no one wanted to be given a piece of the pie by others.
And the four major commercial banks, and there may be more in the future, will all be under the Bank of China.
Maybe they will provide more and more external financing in the future, and the proportion of external capital will exceed that of the Bank of China. That doesn't matter: because the Bank of China is also the country's central bank, with the functions of implementing monetary policy, regulating the macroeconomy, and conducting financial supervision. It is the issuing bank. Banks of banks, banks of banks, government banks.
The more powerful a country is, the less institutions and individuals can dictate based on the power of its major shareholders: Why can many large companies in Europe and the United States control huge enterprises with only 3% or less of the shares? Because its shares are more effectively diluted.
The role of referee can keep the Bank of China at the top of the financial pyramid forever. This will be Zhang Hanqing’s hidden influence on China after the separation of powers is realized in the future, just like the Federal Reserve in later generations. Even in a fully civilized future, Zhang Hanqing can effectively influence the country's internal affairs and even leadership selection.
The future constitution will definitely guarantee the role and structure of the Bank of China.
"If a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Anyway, if Zhang Hanqing doesn't do it, there will definitely be other people who do it in the future." The concentration effect of capital, just like the tradition of Chinese unification, cannot be changed by human power. All Zhang Hanqing can do is guide.
After this battle, Zhang Hanqing has become the psychological successor of the generals of the Feng Clan. Coupled with his political and military influence, he is the well-deserved No. 1 brother of the Feng Clan, except for Zhang Zuolin.
“As long as we can accelerate the pace of unifying China, he, the first brother of the Feng clan, will become the first brother of China sooner or later. This is very exciting news. Because they had made a huge net profit of 191 million from Japan's capital, which was a reward completely outside the government's financial budget, Zhang Hanqing decided to reward their army: expand manpower and increase armaments.
The Northwestern Command of the People's Army has begun to expand the 2nd Brigade and 6th Regiment very early. Thanks to a large amount of funds, adding a new regiment to each brigade has gone very smoothly: the Northwest is poor, and serving as a soldier and eating imperial food is a good way out. As long as they are not equipped with heavy weapons that are difficult to produce, infantry alone does not cost much.
South China and Central China also began. The 1st Division and the 4th Division, which had repeatedly contributed in previous battles, were ordered to expand into "elite divisions" of three brigades and nine regiments. Compared with the traditional standard division of two brigades and four regiments, The 2nd Brigade and 6th Regiment were called the "reinforced division".
The Feng army moved forward simultaneously, and the 27th, 28th, and 29th divisions started by several generals were expanded into "elite divisions" to reserve strength for the Feng army's next military action.
Because he had extra money, Zhang Hanqing decided to purchase a new artillery production line from Soviet Russia. This was the only feasible source of introduction at this stage. Because of the smooth production of tractor-trailer vehicles, it has gradually become possible to end the history of horseback riding. Without logistical constraints, howitzers with longer range and more power will become the next equipment targets of the People's Army and Fengjun.
The reason why it is feasible is that Soviet Russia has completely reversed the situation.
In early September, tripartite representatives of the Far Eastern Republic supported by Soviet Russia, Japan, and Soviet Russia held a meeting in Changchun to discuss a truce in the Far East. Because Japan refused to withdraw its troops from North Sakhalin and suggested negotiating on the basis of the Dalian talks, the negotiations were interrupted again on September 26. Japan attempted to use the new White Guard "government of former Kolchak general Kidrichs" "Attempts to station in the coastal area also failed.
On October 25, the People's Revolutionary Army of the Far East Republic marched into Vladivostok, and the armed intervention of Japanese imperialism and the White Army supported by it was crushed. At this point, the Far Eastern Republic has achieved the unification of Siberia and completed its historical mission.
After the Far Eastern Republic merged with Soviet Russia on November 15, Soviet Russia was renamed "the Soviet Union".
?????????????????????The Republic of China under its control was the first country to recognize the Soviet Union, which was attributed to Zhang Hanqing's "far-sightedness". Both China and the Soviet Union were committed to the development of economic construction, so the Sino-Soviet border became one of the most stable areas in the world at the same time. It was also the beginning of the Fengtian clique truly avoiding fighting on two fronts and concentrating all its efforts on defending Japan.
When the new commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ono Shinobu, had to withdraw the Harbin garrison to the South Manchuria Railway when he took office, the situation between China and Japan returned to the state at the beginning of the signing of the "Portsmouth Treaty" between Japan and Russia.
Under such difficult conditions, the Soviet Russian army was able to completely defeat hundreds of thousands of intervention forces from all directions in just four years. Objectively speaking, the military legacy left by Tsarist Russia was an important factor.
You must know that although the industrial production capacity is far inferior to that of Britain, France and Germany, they also produced 11,000 howitzers during World War I! It took Fengjun six years to acquire just over 1,000 cannons, and they were only 75mm in diameter!
“However, Tsarist Russia’s initial militarism also cost the domestic people a heavy price: including the First World War, it had been in chaos for seven consecutive years. During this period, 20 million people died, and 300,000 people surrendered to Poland. During the Civil War alone, 15 million people died, including at least 1 million Red Army soldiers and more than 500,000 White Army soldiers.
The country’s economy nearly collapsed, compounded by droughts in 1920 and 1921. Diseases were also rampant. In 1920 alone, three million people died of typhus, and millions more civilians died from mutual massacres by both sides. At the end of the war, due to years of war, industrial output was only one-seventh of what it was in 1913, and agriculture was only one-third.
What is more valuable is talent: during this period, one million people fled Russia to the Far East or the Baltic countries. They were called White Russians, and many of them were well-educated professionals.
Zhang Hanqing promptly sent a message to the Soviet Union through the Soviet consul in Shenyang: The Fengzhi government is willing to exchange Soviet Russia's scarce food and medicine for their soon-to-be redundant cannons, and hopes to obtain its 75mm howitzer production line—— This is what they are about to eliminate, and they will enter various places through Xinjiang, Mongolia and Northeast China.
This is a good thing that benefits both parties, and the two families hit it off immediately.
If everything goes well, the artillery regiments of all existing reorganized divisions will be deployed by the end of this year, not next year. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 576 A unique lecture

Judging from the statistics of various headquarters, the army inside and outside the customs will add 61 infantry regiments, which requires a large number of cadres.
According to Zhang Hanqing's establishment of the People's Army in 1922, in addition to three infantry battalions, the infantry regiment also has one engineer, one machine gun, and one logistics company. In this way, each new regiment will need regiment-level cadres (regiment commander, director of the regiment political department, deputy Regiment leader, regiment chief of staff) 4 people;
Battalion-level cadres (3 battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders, 3 battalion instructors, one deputy director of the regiment political department, one deputy chief of staff of the regiment, and one regiment logistics director) 15 people;
There are 40 company-level cadres (chief, deputy company commanders, company instructors of 12 companies, deputy instructors of 3 battalions, deputy director of the regiment logistics department).
It should be noted that in Zhang Hanqing’s military system, party cadres such as the director of the regiment’s political department have the same rank as the deputy at the same level. In this way, not to mention the headquarters of the five new brigades, there are only 61 infantry regiments, which require more than 240 regiment-level cadres, more than 600 battalion-level cadres, and more than 2,000 company-level cadres.
With so many cadres, as a rule, they need to be selected from the graduating students of the Northeast Military Training Corps or the officer training team. At this time, the Wuhan Military Academy had just begun recruiting students, so it had no chance to participate in this huge officer transfer.
As the head of the Northeast Wushu Hall, Zhang Zuolin is concerned about its construction. Except for a few personal visits when he was the governor of Liaoning, he rarely has the opportunity to come to the Wushu Hall again.
When the largest number of graduates in history was about to leave, Zhang Cheng, the deputy director who had been in charge, and Xiao Qixuan, the director of education who was part-time acting as Zhang Hanqing's superintendent, felt it was necessary for Zhang Zuolin to come and lecture in person. After all, these people would all be members of the Fengtian army. The backbone of the grassroots: Three batches of students have graduated, but Zhang Zuolin, the dean, has not yet met with the students. At this graduation ceremony, Zhang Zuolin must be invited to speak at any rate.
Therefore, Xiao Qixuan personally invited Zhang Zuolin, the director of the hall, to come and deliver a speech.
Zhang Zuolin was embarrassed and said: "I have never spoken publicly about this Laozi's speech experience, so forget it."
But Xiao Qixuan tried hard to persuade him: "Graduates are the backbone of the marshal's business in the future, and their affection is like that between a father and his nephew. How can the elders not personally congratulate the nephew on his graduation day?"
Zhang Zuolin's heart was pounding, so he said honestly: "What should I do? I really can't speak, but what you said makes sense. Then write me a speech and you can teach me to recite it!"
The secretaries worked hard to prepare a well-written speech for Zhang Zuolin. After Zhang Zuolin received it, he prepared carefully and read it from memory. When it was time for graduation, Zhang Zuolin felt that he could recite it aloud, so he went there with confidence. He was fully dressed in military uniform, with a short sword on his waist, and walked to the podium with a solemn expression.
Unexpectedly, when I stepped onto the podium, I saw a crowd of heads under the stage, and the scene was extremely serious. Zhang Zuolin, who had been in battle for a long time, suddenly panicked. Just after reciting the first two sentences, "I have been a soldier for half my life, and experienced many incidents," I completely forgot the following words!
After a while, Zhang Zuolin repeated the first two sentences, but he still couldn't remember the following words. For a moment, there was silence on and off the stage, and the scene was very embarrassing.
Suddenly, Zhang Zuolin, who had seen the world, cursed: "Damn it, I had memorized a large speech by heart before I came here, but when I saw you guys, I was so happy that I forgot all about it."
Originally, he wanted to make everyone laugh so that the tense atmosphere could be relieved. But the student audience was well aware of the commander's majesty, so how could they dare to make a mistake and burst into laughter?
Zhang Zuolin accidentally went downstairs and found a familiar face in the third row in front: a dark red face and a pair of blazing eyes under dark eyebrows. The eyes were staring anxiously at the stage, at him.
He suddenly remembered the interesting encounter he had in front of the commander's mansion a few years ago. He was the one who blocked him from entering, and he later rewarded him with the title of company commander: Oh, isn't this guard Li Debiao? Then he shouted to him unconsciously: "Li Debiao!"
Li Derbiao had no idea that the commander would call his name on such an occasion, and he didn't react for a moment. Immediately, he heard another call, and it was confirmed that it was indeed the commander calling his name on the stage. He immediately stood up with a bang, raised his hands in salute with a bang, and replied at the same time: "Report to the commander, Li Debiao is here!"
Li Debiao became a celebrity in the military because he refused to let the marshal return home at night. He later studied in the martial arts hall and fought with the marshal in the north and south. He made many military exploits and was promoted to deputy battalion commander during the suppression of bandits. Later, he was recognized for enforcing strict military discipline in the northwest battlefield. , was appointed commander of the Military Police of the Northwest People's Army.
When the Guards Division returned to Liaoning, he also came back and is now the deputy commander of the Fengjun Gendarmerie Department. He entered the officer training class as a core member a year ago and graduated together this time.
"It's really you, little girl"??! You've graduated and you haven't come to see me. I've forgotten you, right? "Zhang Zuolin asked Li Debiao cordially as if there was no one around. At this time, the venue became lively, and everyone's tense nerves began to loosen.
"Li Debiao dare not report to the commander-in-chief!" Li Debiao replied loudly and sincerely.
"Are you married?" As soon as Zhang Zuolin said this, the whole audience burst into laughter. It has long been rumored among students that because Li Debiao adhered to his principles, the commander promised to marry him a wife, but he insisted that Fengjun was not yet strong and would not be a family man, which was very similar to Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Li Debiao doesn't dare!" As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience burst into laughter again, jumping up and down with joy.
Zhang Zuolin graciously smoothed things over for Li Defan: "What's wrong with this? Serve the country first, get married later, great job! But if there is a suitable one, you should get married first, and then go out to serve the country. There are three types of unfilial piety. , Isn’t it important to have no children? Your parents are probably worried about their grandchildren. If you don’t resolve your matter, I won’t be able to see your parents! When you get married, if you don’t come to invite me, I will go too. Looking for a wedding drink!"
Zhang Zuolin, the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces, the envoy for the control of heat, Sui, Xing, and Chakra, and the economic and strategic envoy for Mongolian Xinjiang, the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun Army, and the chairman of the National Unification Council, Zhang Zuolin, made an astonishing move. He stepped down from the podium with a smile and walked up to Li Debiao first. In front of him, he smiled and said, "If you don't come to see me, I'll come to see you!" He patted his shoulder and said a few words of encouragement, which moved Li Debiao to the point where he was ready to go through fire and water for Marshal Zhang.
Zhang Zuolin slowly patrolled the hall for a week. When he met someone who was younger in age, he stopped for a short chat, asked his name and age, and frequently praised him as a "good boy"; when he met someone he knew, he called out the person's name. Let the other party be surprised and excited. This move enlivened the crowd and made the scene lively.
Seeing that the heat was up, Zhang Zuolin stepped onto the podium again, got rid of the speech script, and spoke freely from the heart: "I, Zhang Zuolin, am really happy to see you today. There are many things I want to say, but I just can't think of them. To sum up, it's true. Tongzhi, do you know the trend in today’s world? Whose is China?”
??Everyone talked about it, some answered: "It's from the Fengjun Army", some answered "It's from the People's Army", and those who objected said: "The People's Army and Fengjun are one and the same!"
Zhang Zuolin emphasized his tone: "In the long run, it belongs to you. After a year of study, you have improved your skills, and I am proud of you. As the saying goes: Even if you have millions of dollars, it is better to have little skills. You are now Mastering military technology can serve the country well.
You are all good boys. If you are a good boy, you must work hard. After you graduate, if you are a student, you can become a platoon leader and squad leader, and if you are an officer, you can be promoted. As long as you know how to work hard, don't be afraid of life and death, and you will be rewarded for your merits, you will have whatever you want, and I can give you whatever you want. However, there is only one thing I cannot give. "
When all the students in the audience held their breath and listened attentively, Zhang Zuolin smiled and said, "I can't give my wife to you!"
The whole audience cheered and applauded thunderously. The scene was as vigorous as a father and son reunited after a long absence. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 577 The Superiority of the People’s Party Government
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
If Zhang Zuolin treats soldiers with a caring attitude to gain their support, in such a high position, he can treat every capable person around him with a respectful and polite attitude so that they can work for them wholeheartedly. , is a rare side of him.
Zhang Zuolin grew up in a rough place and was used to using vulgar words, but Yang Yuting, Wang Yongjiang and others whom he relied on and relied on were never rude. Once, Zhang Zuolin and Yang Yuting argued about something. Zhang became angry and said the word "fuck".
Yang stood up and said, "Who are you scolding?" Zhang immediately bowed and apologized: "This is our spoken word. It slipped out accidentally. Who dared to scold you!" So that when Hu Shi heard about it later, he sighed: "This story It’s beautiful.”
What’s not good is that Yu Fengzhi’s condition worsened. Fortunately, the Marshal’s Mansion had plenty of money, so he consulted Chinese and Western medicine doctors. Finally, an American missionary doctor used several doses of medicine to ward off the condition.
This allowed Zhang Hanqing to think about China's labor insurance and welfare. This is a major matter that concerns all citizens. It is a reflection of the superiority of the Fengxi and the People's Party in continuing to lead other local governments and political parties in the country.
Thinking of the three major chronic diseases that restricted the living standards of ordinary people: education, medical care, and social security had not been overcome before he traveled through time, he decided to do his best to personally end these histories that had brought great suffering to the Chinese people!
Education is already doing well, considering the current economic conditions. The three northeastern provinces as well as Rehe and Xing'an have all popularized five-year compulsory education. After the economy improves in a few years, they will directly adopt the nine-year system. Other areas controlled by the Feng clan should also fully popularize five-year compulsory education within two or three years. In addition, due to the establishment of a series of universities, the paths for further education are becoming wider and wider for Chinese people.
Social security is basically still in the stage of raising children to provide for old age, which also makes equality between men and women largely an empty talk. Some time ago, Hu Shi and others in Beijing also submitted a "Labor Bill Outline" to the central government, covering labor security, protection of female workers, children, etc. However, given the limited financial resources of the central government and the limited control over local governments, this may only remain on paper.
It was Zhang Hanqing who reminded me: Northeast China should do this first! He arranged for Han Shuxiu, chairperson of the Women's Federation of the People's Party, Minister of United Front Work and Chairman of the Trade Union, to prepare a draft of the People's Party's version of the "Labor Law" and submit it to the "National Unification Council" parliament for approval and implementation.
He probably put forward some basic ideas: 8-hour work system, equal pay for men and women for equal work, prohibition of child labor, overtime pay calculation, vacation system, medical work-related injury relief insurance and pension system, etc. The reason why Han Shuxiu is also appointed as the union chairman is to lay the foundation for the People's Party to control the union in the future.
??What will be the role of the People’s Party after the revolution is completed in the future? What methods are used to restrict government ineffectiveness? In addition to the parliament under its united front, it is very likely to be the largest trade union in China in the future. As long as China's industrialization path does not stop, China, which has the world's largest manpower, will sooner or later establish the world's largest working class team. The People's Party will To lead this group.
It is necessary to set the tone of China's labor laws in advance before trusts have become an institution that affects the government and parliament. The tragic scenes of those who jump from buildings to beg for wages and kneel down to beg for wages will never appear in future generations. Those who took away the hard-earned money of migrant workers will never appear again. The running away incident should never occur. The new labor laws will no longer be a nightmare for disadvantaged groups.
Failure to pay overtime pay and wage arrears will be severely punished by the labor law: for each day of arrears, a fine of no less than twice the daily wage payable will be paid to the party; if the worker still refuses to pay after asking for it, he will be fined on the day of asking for it. Pay the worker three times the fine; after the worker submits a payment request to the government labor supervision department, the government should file an enforcement action with the court on behalf of the worker and freeze the bank accounts of non-performing enterprises in advance.
If the so-called "runaway boss" appears due to the government's inaction, the government should pay "compensation" for the state's inaction in accordance with the law, and the staff involved will be given penalties such as warnings and dismissal from public office depending on the severity of the case - otherwise the people Don’t know what to do with them?
The six-day working system must be implemented: under special circumstances, one day of rest must be compulsory every month, and marriage leave, maternity leave, and statutory holidays must be strictly implemented. Especially regarding traditional Chinese holidays, Zhang Hanqing decided to show them in a big and special way.
Qingming Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, Winter Solstice and New Year's Eve, these four festivals are the days when overseas Chinese send money (burning paper money) to their ancestors. They are the spiritual pillars on which the Chinese nation relies for endless prosperity. This must be fake, otherwise it will be like some people. It would be bad if we rob festivals like sticks and rob our ancestors.
?? New Year’s Eve is also a big day for traditional Chinese reunions. In later generations, everyone has to ask for leave to postpone it. Two extra days are necessary;
Needless to say, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Double Ninth Festival, the first two fake time travels just started not long ago, so they must be fakeThis piece.
This landmark draft of the "Labor Law" caused a stir in the country once it was reviewed and passed by the "National Unification Council" parliament. An organization of celebrities headed by Hu Shi, Cai Yuanpei, and Li Dazhao who originally signed the petition called for a "good government" loudly cheers.
The Northeast's labor bill is far better than the welfare benefits and higher protection for workers than the ones they proposed. It also clearly uses the system to guarantee various rights and interests, especially in all aspects of medical care and pensions. It is no longer like any previous one. What a party or an organization can shout.
Now, Zhang Zuolin’s government in Northeast China has implemented it under the leadership of the People’s Party. Implemented!
Since then, the people of the "National Unification Council" began to believe from the bottom of their hearts that the "National Unification Council" is a national-level political power in the full sense, and the central government is just a puppet that has not yet been unveiled.

Celebrities from all walks of life sent many visiting groups to the Northeast to inspect the separation of powers, administrative structure design, and national economic operation control system in the Northeast. After writing a thick report, they fully praised it: The ongoing social development in northern Soviet Russia Isn't that what doctrine is all about? Is it still necessary to introduce the Soviets in China?
No! No need at all!
The People's Party's program and policy plan are China's best, most scientific, and most advanced system. If it is implemented according to this, it will not make more concessions than the Western powers!
It was in Shanghai in the East that Sun Yat-sen, who had left politics and had been studying constitutionalism, said with emotion to Hu Hanmin and others after reading in detail the People's Party's series of achievements in the construction of Northeast China: "Let's not talk about the previous grievances. To be honest, my three The concept of San Van Choi has been completely broken through by the practice of the People's Party. From now on, San Van Choi must unite with the People's Party in order to play its due role!"
However, Sun Yat-sen still wants to make a difference in the military. He still has a remnant army in Guangxi, which needs equipment and economic assistance to survive and wait for opportunities to grow. It is impossible to go from Zhili and Fengcheng, and there is no room for development in Guangxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan, so it must go through foreign countries.
It doesn’t matter, Lao Sun is already familiar with the road. This is how he obtained a steady stream of financial support from Nanyang, Japan, and the United States to invest in his important task of opposing Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui, and the Zhili clique.
However, according to official history, Sun Yat-sen in the 1920s had completely lost his market due to the alliance of domestic political forces, and because of his unprincipled cooperation with great powers such as Japan and warlords such as Zhang Zuolin (attacking Duan Qirui), Domestic public opinion has generally regarded him as an outdated figure no different from the old warlords, and his halo as a "revolutionary leader" has been quite dim.
The Chen Jiongming Incident in 1922 caused the Sun family to lose its last territory in Guangdong. On the seventh day after the incident, the Sun family had confirmed that it would not receive support from Britain, the United States and Japan, so it released this message to Soviet Russia: " Now I am convinced that the only practical and sincere friend of the Chinese revolution is Soviet Russia."
Sun was willing to form an alliance with Soviet Russia at the expense of the rights to the Middle East Railway in exchange for its assistance to his revolutionary cause.
In September of this year, Sun told Soviet Russia that he hoped to use Soviet Russian arms to establish revolutionary armed forces in Xinjiang or Outer Mongolia; in October of this year, he told Comintern representative Marin that he hoped that Soviet Russia would send a division The troops were commanded by Sun to occupy Xinjiang and establish a new government;
In December, Sun wrote to the Soviet representative Joffe: "I can now mobilize about 10,000 people from Sichuan to Inner Mongolia through Gansu, and finally control the historical offensive route northwest of Beijing, but we need weapons, Arms, technology and expert help, etc. Can your government support us through Cullen?”
??Actually, the Soviet Union now also needs Sun Yat-sen, because they are very at a disadvantage in negotiations with the Chinese government.
Because the stability of the Northeast allowed the Soviet Union and Russia to complete national reunification with this backing, they immediately resented the "loss" of the Middle East and the loss of Mongolia, so they demanded high prices in the Sino-Soviet peace negotiations.
??At the beginning, in the "Renewal Contract for the Management of the Eastern Province Railway", the Soviet Russian government gave the government "temporary" management rights on behalf of the government, and the method of the road would be negotiated after the Soviet Russian government recognized it. Now that the Soviet Union has been established and stabilized, it is time to get this extremely important railway back.
It’s a pity that the opponent they encountered was Zhang Hanqing.
Because the political relationship with Soviet Russia determined whether China could get rid of the diplomatic dilemma of being surrounded by enemies on all sides and carry out a lasting peace construction in the vast northwest and north, Zhang Hanqing encouraged the Republic of China government, headed by the pro-Fengtian Foreign Minister Gu Weijun, to He was assisted by his grandson's Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Zhengting, and the Beijing talks on the future establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the Soviet Union were attended by the Zhili and Feng cliques.
The reason why the Kuomintang is still allowed to participate is because the Kuomintang’s propaganda agency is too powerful, claiming to have hundreds of thousands of party members. They also have great influence in the southern provinces. Zhang Hanqing is worried that they will talk nonsense behind his back
Gu Weijun, who was pro-Zhang, was promoted to Minister of Foreign Affairs in early December after the Shandong issue negotiations, overpowering Wang Zhengting who was supposed to assume this role, and served as the chief representative in negotiations with Soviet Russia. This is what Zhang Hanqing meant, and what Zhang Zuolin meant. For the central government, which is basically controlled by the Fengzhi clique, this is the conclusion.
In order to divide the camp of the Chinese negotiators, Karakhan, the Soviet representative and acting People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, made some compensation to Sun Yat-sen: "We are ready to assist you in forming a large combat unit using the provinces in northern China or western China, but unfortunately The only thing is that the amount of material assistance we have is very small. It can only have 8,000 Japanese rifles and 15 machine guns at mostsp; Wang Zhengting was furious, but in this case, he could say nothing more for Karahan. With anger, he said to Zhang Hanqing: "Since the Republic of China, it has been rare for diplomats in China to use foul language. Especially on this occasion, I can no longer perform my duties as a diplomat. I will submit my resignation to the president. . But the responsibility for the breakdown of the negotiations caused by this must be borne by the young marshal!"
What happened to the swear words? Khrushchev's taking off his shoes and banging on the table at the UN General Assembly did not affect his image as a strong man at all (it has been stated that this period of history was a misunderstanding, but Zhang Hanqing would rather believe it to be true).
Zhang Hanqing is not an impulsive person, especially after coming to the Republic of China. After several years of hard work and political influence, he has become good at controlling his emotions. We must take precautions against major national events, and we must not let our emotions ruin them.
But at this time, his uncontrollable indignation finally broke out: "It is better for me to swear at you alone than for the whole country to scold you! If you don't engage in diplomacy, you will be a blessing to the people and China! I Thank you on behalf of the Chinese people! If the negotiation is at the expense of restoring the rule of Tsarist Russia in China, there is no need to proceed with this negotiation!"
On December 4, the first round of Sino-Soviet negotiations broke down. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 579 Diplomat
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The Kuomintang propaganda agency immediately launched an intensive criticism of the negotiation. They called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and blamed the appointment of a "young warlord who has no diplomatic experience, is impulsive, irritable, and has no idea of ??detours." Zhang Hanqing "referred to the use of force against compatriots through diplomacy, which is actually the main culprit that caused this diplomatic breakdown."
The restored "old Congress" controlled by the Kuomintang also accused Zhang Hanqing of this.
Soviet Russia representative Karakhan also told the outside world: "If the Beijing government cannot change its tough stance, we will change the negotiating partner and look for a possible party group with an international perspective to replace it." The implication is that the Soviet Union will It will not recognize the legal status of the Republic of China, and this "party group with an international perspective" is nothing more than the Kuomintang.
Who are you trying to scare? No country in Soviet Russia has officially recognized it. Is it strange? Now, generally speaking, it is not that China is begging the Soviet Union, but that they are anxious to have a good relationship with China. If the Kuomintang dares to bypass the central government and negotiate privately with the Soviet Union, Zhang Hanqing will not hesitate to declare it a rebel party and launch a round of violent purges across the country!
As a party involved, Gu Weijun, the second representative of the delegation, supported Zhang Hanqing's actions. He said bitterly to the outside world: "I called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to support the draft agreement they negotiated in private, betraying national interests in exchange for the leadership of his party group, etc. Obviously, They were all instigated by the Soviet Russian mission, associates of Dr. Wang (Wang Zhengting is a PhD from Yale University), and Kuomintang believers in Beijing.
Their actions must be for some more important political purpose, that is, to overthrow the Beijing government and seize power For decades, especially since the founding of the Republic of China, confusing domestic politics with foreign relations has been a source of disaster for China. . "
The Kuomintang’s propaganda mouthpiece also launched a counterattack, not only denounced Wang Zhengting’s weakness, but also insinuated the Kuomintang’s conspiracy to eagerly seek to establish diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union for its own gain. The two sides exchanged words and quarrels, and the fight was endless.
Even at Tianjin University, Yu Yifan, who was about to graduate, was overwhelmed by the overwhelming news about Zhang Hanqing. The students are all patriotic, and most of them are satisfied with Zhang Hanqing's "dominance" and believe that it speaks the voice of the Chinese people and straightens the backbone of the Chinese people. Every time Yu Yifan hears this, he feels happy in his heart. Zhang Hanqing's image in her heart has always been very high, regardless of his political and military achievements, literary achievements, and unusual acumen in the economic field Now he even looks so handsome when he gets angry!
At the same time, Gu Ruiyu also huddled in bed and wrote her first affectionate letter to Zhang Hanqing.
Wu Peifu, who is far away in Luoyang, is very happy about this: the two original rivals are now facing each other, and he is very happy. Look, we haven't even reached a consensus yet, so we're going to do it ourselves! However, through the chaotic smoke, he agreed with Zhang Hanqing in his heart.
Other countries are just showing off their power. You, the Soviet Union, whose foundation is not stable, still want to gain benefits from China. Do you still think it is China twenty years ago? Do you still think you are Russia from 20 years ago? Regardless of his political stance with Zhang Hanqing, he believed that it was his duty to help the Feng clan.
At his request, Zhili also made a voice and agreed with Zhang Hanqing's proposition, which made Sun Yat-sen, who was far away in Shanghai, uneasy. If Zhili and Feng join forces from now on, there will no longer be a foothold for the Kuomintang within the basically unified central government. The reason why his Kuomintang exists is due to the discord between various factions in the central government
And he has already experienced Zhang Hanqing's methods. He is a "tough guy" who really dares to open fire on him. The nickname "Zhang Dapao" is not for nothing. In order not to be marginalized in the future political situation, he also needs the power of the faction, so the relationship between the two parties cannot be worsened. He instructed the Kuomintang congressmen in Beijing to stop bombarding Zhang Hanqing.
Without the help of the backstage, Wang Zhengting could no longer stay in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs because of the scolding from the young marshal. He chose to quit politics early and take up a full-time position as a member of the International Olympic Committee, which the Chinese people had never understood at the time (Wang Zhengting was elected this year). , he is therefore also the first member of the International Olympic Committee in Chinese history).
It is said that President Li Yuanhong approved it on the spot, without giving him any routine efforts to persuade him
In fact, this is okay, because at this time, the political arena in Beijing is already full of people from the Feng clique. It is difficult for him, an administrative official who has been scolded by the young marshal, to hang around anymore. It is not far away for the Feng clique to fully control the overall situation of China. .
While the Soviet Russian delegation was still secretly reporting the results to its country and waiting for instructions, Zhang Hanqing moved into his new commander-in-chief's residence in Beijing, the former Shuncheng County Prince's Palace.
This is a very "alternative" palace. Among the many palaces of princes in Beijing, it has two characteristics:, the transaction object must be the People's Army and Fengjun under the Feng faction, and weapons funding or various forms of transactions with other local forces are strictly prohibited"
“The Russian Communist Party did not support the establishment of the Communist Party in China or revolutionary movements outside the Communist Party in exchange for China’s guarantee that it would not support the remaining forces of Belarus. The Chinese government also did not support the rebellion of the Russians living in China. If Soviet Russia’s actions are discovered, they will be severely punished according to Chinese laws"
The Middle East Road has been de facto controlled by the Feng clan for a long time, and now it only needs a formal recognition; after several baptisms, Mongolia no longer has room to change its mind, unless it is by force; Daosheng Bank used the words of the young marshal Said it was purely a business issue The more he dealt with the Chinese young coach, the more Karahan knew about the opponent's trump cards.
As he became familiar with Zhang Hanqing, he knew deeply that it was unrealistic to ask the young marshal to spit out what he had already obtained. The correct answer was that both parties should negotiate on something more realistic.
The Soviet Union was about to be established, and Karaghan knew that it urgently needed recognition from a major power, which would set a good example. "Although China is not a big country, its territory is vast. Establishing a long-term and peaceful relationship with them is crucial to reducing the pressure on the Soviet Union in the East in the future." This is what Comrade Lenin said to him personally.
Since China cannot make progress under the leadership of the young marshal, there is no need to cling to unrealistic fantasies. In view of this, Karaghan, who was granted full power, decided to terminate the continued negotiations with China and fully accept China's proposal in order to sign a peace treaty with historical and progressive significance for both China and the Soviet Union as soon as possible.
At the same time, in order to express its sincerity in friendship with China, at the suggestion of Zhang Hanqing, the Soviet Russian government officially declared that it would give up the Boxer Indemnity requirement that China should pay to Russia according to the 1901 Treaty of Xinhai and use it for the education of the Chinese people. cause.
Although the Chinese government has stopped delivery for many years since Russia fell into civil strife, the official statement still sent shockwaves to the West and provided a good start for the subsequent settlement of the Boxer Indemnity.
When Karaghan submitted a memorandum to Gu Weijun, China’s Foreign Minister, suggesting that the diplomatic representatives of China and Russia be upgraded to the ambassadorial level, the Chinese government happily accepted this suggestion. As a result, Soviet Russia became the first country to send an ambassador to China.
Zhang Hanqing used his manipulative courage to make the representatives of Soviet Russia fully recognize China's demands. This not only brought a relatively complete end to the previous humiliation, but also gave a slap in the face to the Kuomintang faction who looked coldly on Zhang Hanqing's warlord style. From then on, the young marshal was not only an outstanding politician, military strategist, and writer of the Republic of China, but also an outstanding diplomat well-known at home and abroad.
The signing of the Sino-Russian agreement was a major diplomatic victory for the Soviet Union and Russia, which improved the international status of the Soviet Union. For example, it not only becomes the head of the Beijing diplomatic corps, but also enables it to engage in real diplomatic warfare with the diplomatic corps. When the diplomatic corps demanded that the Soviet Union recognize the established status of the Beijing Embassy District, the Soviet Russian government categorically refused to enjoy extraterritoriality in the Beijing Embassy District and safeguarded China's sovereignty.
Of course, the benefits to the Republic of China are also obvious: it is a major victory for the Chinese people in their struggle against colonialism. It opens a gap in a series of unequal treaties imposed on China. Therefore, this agreement is favored by China. The enthusiastic support of the people.
On the day of the signing, the "Beijing Daily" at that time wrote in an editorial titled "The Happiest Event": "It is impossible for China to sign a better treaty with any major power than this!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

While people across the country are excited about the comprehensive signing of a peace treaty between China and its largest neighbor to the north, Beijing is also facing a carnival.
This time the protagonist is not Zhang Hanqing, but the emperor who has stepped down.
In early November 1922, there was a letter regarding the abdication of Emperor Aixinjueluo-Puyi and his daughter Wanrong from the Rongyuan family of the Guobulo family and Wenxiu from the Duangong family of the Erdet family. The news of a wedding ceremony for the concubine was an unheard of excitement for the people in the capital.
The small court set up a special wedding preparation office to regularly release information to the outside world. The wedding day was chosen auspiciously and approved by the emperor. It was just reported to the three concubines. Before it could be announced, it spread like wildfire and everyone in the city knew about it.
People probably think this way: It is common for an emperor to marry a daughter-in-law, but it is rare for an emperor to marry a daughter-in-law. Who knows whether there will be another emperor in China in the future? If we really continue to be a republic forever, if we miss it this time, it may be difficult to meet again. As a result, everyone in the streets and alleys and alleys talked about this marriage; in teahouses, restaurants, theaters and shops, everyone looked forward to this happy event, which actually highlighted the brightness of the Indian summer in this winter month.
Yu Yifan was the best. She had made an appointment with Zhang Hanqing early to go to the wedding with him. After all, she doesn't have much face in Beijing. At most, she stays on the periphery and watches the excitement with ordinary people. Zhang Hanqing, on the other hand, is a completely super VIP person. With him, you can go beyond any barriers and see things that ordinary people cannot see.
Zhang Hanqing went with an archeological feeling to see what an imperial wedding was, its pomp and luxury. In addition, is there an opportunity to profit from a free tour of the Forbidden City? You must know that you have never been able to meet her, from before the time travel to after the time travel.
The emperor's wedding still uses the traditional lunar calendar: on November 29th, Concubine Shu (i.e. Wenxiu) entered the palace with her wedding dress; on November 30th at noon, the queen (Wanrong) entered the palace with her wedding dress; at the same time, the queen The ceremony was completed and the concubine entered the palace.
On December 1st, a wedding ceremony was held, and at Yinke, the queen was welcomed into the palace.
On December 2, the emperor and empress saluted their ancestors at the Shouhuang Palace in Jingshan; on December 3, the emperor was congratulated at the Qianqing Palace.
Originally, according to the regulations of the Republic of China, only Shenwu Gate belonged to the Qing Palace, but the government of the Republic of China made an exception and specifically allowed "Feng Yu" to enter the palace through Donghua Gate. At Shenwu Gate, Donghua Gate, the Queen's Residence, Shu Fei's Residence, and other areas under the jurisdiction of the regional police department, additional police protection was also deployed: (Shu Fei) dispatched by the Infantry Commander's Yamen passed by the officials and soldiers stationed along the way. Military band soldiers, buglers, military police headquarters officials, soldiers The military and police sent by the Republic of China government numbered thousands.
The procession is four or five miles long, combining Chinese and Western styles, ancient and modern, with foreign drums and trumpets, suona trumpets, tall horses, and eight-carriage sedans. The old and the young are left behind, kowtow in worship, and curious people line the way to greet and see off.
In addition, five to six thousand military police were escorted along the way to maintain order. The grandness of the pomp, the brilliance of the momentum, the splendor of the ceremony, and the grandeur of the ceremony. The grand scene, the grandeur, the grand gestures, and the grand gestures can make the people of Peiping watch the excitement. While feasting your eyes, you also ran a lot of fun.
This drama of dynasty restoration and restoration has pushed the absurdity and paradox even further.
This liveliness certainly brought tears to the eyes of the elders of the former dynasty, but it also made the revolutionaries angry. Under the sky of the Republic of China, this feeling of going back in time and the resurrection of zombies is really incredible.
What aroused the most resentment in the society was that after the restoration of the imperial court, it openly displayed its power outside the Forbidden City. Under the guard of a large number of military and policemen from the Republic of China, the Qing palace's ceremonial guards paraded in the streets of Beijing with great force.
On the day of the official wedding, behind the two military bands of the Republic of China, a pair of canonized envoys (Prince Qing and Prince Zheng) wearing python robes and patchwork coats were riding on horses, holding handles in their hands, followed by the band and army cavalry of the Republic of China. , police cavalry, security cavalry, and behind them are dragon and phoenix flag umbrellas, seventy-two Luanjia ceremonial guards, four yellow pavilions (containing the Queen's golden dress), and thirty pairs of palace lanterns. "Go forward.
In front of the decorated lanterns and colorfully decorated rear door, Wanrong's father Rong Yuan and her brothers - all knelt there to receive the "imperial edict" brought by the chief and deputy envoys.
Zhang Hanqing didn’t think so. He knew clearly that this was just a flash in the pan for the late Qing emperor. Two years later, Feng Yuxiang was so angry that the young emperor and his family of concubines and concubines were all driven to Tianjin. From then on, the Forbidden City said goodbye to imperial power.
Yu Yifan, on the other hand, was mindlessly commenting on the scene. What kind of crown and belt are beautiful? Brides in Beijing already use red umbrellas. The emperor's wedding hall is more solemn, but there is something missing. Lively atmosphere, wait, letvase, stepping through the brazier. The moment she lifted up her phoenix robe, Zhang Hanqing's heart was intoxicated.
This is the Queen, beneath one person and above ten thousand people. Hey, why do you say "under one person"? Didn’t that emperor say he was physically incompetent? Various memories about the last emperor came to mind.
Such a young and beautiful girl, who is only 17 years old and as young as a flower, has to be sent to live as a widow in the deep palace walls. This makes Zhang Hanqing's heart want to perform humane acts on the emperor's behalf right away. They are all women. The emperor's women should be more interesting than other women, right?
At the beginning of the Republic of China, President Yuan Da had already raised the status of the president to an unparalleled level: lifelong tenure and designated heir system. Why did he still want to be the emperor? The power has reached its extreme, and what is missing is nothing more than psychological satisfaction.
We established the Republic of China and forced the Qing Emperor to abdicate. Why? Isn’t it just to overthrow this privilege? I worked hard to conquer the north and south, but let that little emperor sleep peacefully with the most beautiful woman in the world (that is the queen), which is unacceptable.
It’s time to turn the page of the Qing Dynasty! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

"Compared with Zhang Hanqing's self-heaviness and obscenity, Yu Yifan doesn't have that many tricks up his sleeve. She pulled Zhang Hanqing and said softly: "Will the queen go to Kunning Palace later? Let's go and see it together."
"Well, do you want to see her bridal chamber? I really want to see this, but unfortunately I don't have the chance, right? I'm talking about Puyi, this incompetent person." Zhang Hanqing thought speculatively.
Queen Wanrong then left the back door of Qianqing Palace, took a peacock-topped sedan, and went from Jiaotai Hall to the bridal chamber in the East Nuan Pavilion of Kunning Palace in the Queen's Middle Palace. There is also a saddle on the threshold of Kunning Palace, with two big red apples pressed underneath.
Yu Yifan asked strangely: "What do you do with this?" Things before the royal family were very particular, both elegant and full of Manchu customs, but this apple is very puzzling.
Zhang Hanqing guessed it: "Apples mean peace and tranquility. This is similar to the wedding customs in rural areas. Some people put peanuts, red dates, and ginkgo fruits in the bed, which means having a baby early; some put cakes on the pillow, which means step by step. Rise."
Yu Yifan suddenly remembered something: "When you and your little aunt got married, I hid a piece of walnut in the wedding quilt. I wonder if you found it?"
It's you! This was something that almost ruined his wedding night. He never knew who was responsible for the prank, but it turned out to be her! Only then did a public case come to light! If she had known at that time, Zhang Hanqing would have wanted to kill her.
But when he mentioned the walnut, Zhang Hanqing suddenly remembered the beautiful scene of his wedding, and Yu Fengzhi's shyness, which was so red that it reached the root of his neck, was deeply imprinted in his mind. He looked at Yu Yifan. Her neck was white and pink, and he couldn't help but feel moved. Fortunately, I wore more clothes in winter, otherwise this occasion would have been embarrassing.
“Ahem, this little girl is not paying for her life by killing others.
In front, Wanrong has already stepped over the saddle. At this point, the etiquette of welcoming the queen is over.
Yu Yifan still hadn't finished her thoughts, so she shook Zhang Hanqing's arm and asked quietly: "Uncle, is it time for the emperor and the empress to enter the bridal chamber?" Just as he was about to nod, Yu Yifan said again: "Don't we still have to marry him? ?"
“Uh~, you know such a private thing? It seems that he has really grown up.
卺, the original meaning is that the gourd is divided into two ladles. He Ni means that the newlyweds each drink from a gourd. In modern times, they exchange glasses of wine. This kind of thing is usually done before newlyweds go to bed. In movies, the scene usually goes dark after drinking, because the subsequent plot is not suitable for children. In the imperial family, such private matters are even more difficult for ordinary people to see.
Only Zhang Hanqing knew, and Puyi probably dispersed after drinking. He bluntly told the story in "The Second Half of My Life": "On the first day of marriage, I didn't feel this was a need. After marriage, Wanrong and I lived a normal life. As for Wenxiu and The two wives I married during the Puppet Manchukuo period were purely decorations for me, and they all lived a widowed life."
??If she keeps talking, Zhang Hanqing will be so excited by her. He is not a good person, at least when it comes to relationships between men and women.
He has been obsessed with Sheng Aiyi since he met him. At such a tense moment of the financial crisis in Northeast China, he still wanted to acquire Han Yeping's shares, just so that he could interact with the Sheng family again in the future; he had already had a heated exchange with Gu Ruiyu some time ago, I was just thinking about when to rectify her death; now my relationship with Yu Yifan is so harmonious that it goes beyond the ordinary relationship between superiors and subordinates. Maybe it is really because of Yu Fengzhi that he has been holding back at critical moments.
"Well, marriage is a matter between husband and wife, and outsiders can't see it. It's getting late. We've been watching for a day, so it's time to take a rest." Zhang Hanqing was really tired, but otherwise fine. Seeing the name with his own eyes The Wanrong Queen all over the world is really so beautiful, and his heart is tired.
Yu Yifan was very excited. She kept talking in the car about the luxury and splendor of the wedding she saw, and looked forward to having one in the future. Maybe this is a common problem among women in the world? Whether married or single.
It’s just that there is only one emperor in China. In any case, an emperor’s wedding like this is rare in a hundred years. The nobility of the royal family is deeply imprinted in the heart of every Chinese person. There can be no bigger and higher-level event than this one, ever.
However, Zhang Hanqing still gave her a good comfort: "When you get married in the future, my aunt and I will definitely hold a grand wedding for you. Although it may not be such a grand wedding, it will still be glorious!" , how does it feel to hand over Yu Yifan to another man with your own hands? He suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Yu Yifan also suddenly fell silent. She looked out the window in ecstasy. The lively aftermath of the street was still there, and adults and children were still stopping to chat and play, but she felt a little uninterested.
The car was quiet for a while, and then Yu Yifan spoke: "Uncle, do you know what the wedding is about?"
Zhang Hanqing felt a little unnatural and said hurriedly: "A wedding is a place where the couple invites their relatives and friends to share their happiness together." Damn, this is the most incisive sentence since time travel, and it is also the most useless nonsense.
Yu Yifan said: "So the wedding is to make others feel happy. Others cannot feel the happiness of the couple, right?"
This question is not easy to answer, it is too philosophical. Zhang Hanqing feels that the answer should be more positive. He said: "Since it can be shared by others, the newlyweds will certainly be happy. A wedding blessed by relatives and friends will make the newlyweds happy." Feel happier.”
Yu Yifan said: "Is it the wedding that makes the couple happier, or the blessings at the wedding that make the couple happier?"
Look, this logic is very clear. But just like the chicken-and-egg debate, Zhang Hanqing is going to be confused. He gaped at Yu Yifan, who was looking at him seriously, waiting for his answer.
"Well, we should look at it dialectically. Whether it is happiness or not does not depend on blessings or weddings, but whether the newlyweds feel happy. There is a saying that 'Although a broken kiln can protect against wind and rain, the love between husband and wife is also bitter and sweet.' Well."
Yu Yifan nodded. When Zhang Hanqing thought that this foggy philosophy exam was finally over, Yu Yifan said quietly: "Since the wedding is so unimportant, why did you give me the unimportant things?"
How did this woman develop her mind? Zhang Hanqing was speechless. If he had known that promising others a wedding would cause such trouble, he would rather tear himself apart - it's not like the Yu family couldn't afford the wedding? I want you to talk more!
Yu Yifan's hidden meaning has already shown some signs, and he doesn't know how to answer. Some things have too great an impact, and he has the evil heart but not the courage. When a man can't bear it, he can only choose to retreat or pretend to be crazy.
There was an awkward silence all the way to the Marshal's Mansion. After Yu Yifan graduated, he came to Beijing and temporarily lived in the Marshal's Mansion. Zhang Hanqing hasn't had time to find her a job yet, but it's not a very urgent matter. As for Yu Yifan living there, that's all. He has no intention of letting her move out, even after she finds a job in the future. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Compared with the concerns of Yifan's daughter's family, Zhang Hanqing is more concerned about the abandonment of old traditions and the overall admiration of new culture by the students of Tianjin University. This is related to whether Chinese culture can be inherited as one continuous line and whether Chinese people can psychologically defeat powerful enemies. , related to whether the country can become a first-class power.
Why did the United States become more developed in later generations? In addition to its strong political and military capabilities, its culture is also very strong: the Statue of Liberty, Barbie Doll, "American Gothic", the Buffalo Nickel, and Uncle Sam are its symbols.
Because it is a country of immigrants, there was no feudal society in their historical development. The aristocrats, untouchables, castes, royal families and other things that are popular in continental Europe have no or no practical significance in the United States. People have high expectations for family and status. , Identity is not important: what is more important is the achievements of the parties themselves.
They use the Statue of Liberty to express their commitment to the American dream for newly arrived immigrants; Barbie represents a "beautiful beauty" who "originates from the United States, was born in the United States, and grew up in the United States." She should be called the "pride of America." "; "American Gothic" reflects the solemn pride of American farmers;
The buffalo nickel is a commemoration of the bison and Indians who were victims of western development, expressing America's reflection on history; as for Uncle Sam, it is considered by Americans to be honest, reliable, hard-working and patriotic, and is regarded as a symbol of their own nation. Pride and shared qualities.
Whether it’s true or not, at least they have faith, and that’s religion.
China had faith a long time ago, but then it basically disappeared. There are many reasons for this phenomenon: the poison of feudal ideology, the failure of seclusion, the Qing Dynasty's tampering of Chinese culture, and the self-castration of a group of shameless literati.
The Chinese faith is called Confucianism. With it, the Chinese do not need religion.
Englishman Robert Douglas gave his own explanation for this phenomenon: In fact, the Chinese believe that Confucianism is a philosophical and ethical system that can replace religion in influencing and enlightening human society and civilization.
In fact, the greatness of Confucianism is that it is non-religious, but it can replace religion and allow people to do anything without religion.
In the eyes of Gu Hongming, a Chinese "cultural geek", it was Confucius who used his own thoughts and doctrines to build the foundation of social order and civilization that reconciled the conflicts between philosophy and belief. Lao and Zhuang tried to destroy this foundation, but failed.
The difference between Confucianism, Christianity, and Buddhism is that the latter is a religion of people or a church religion, while the former is a social religion or a national religion. Confucianism cannot actually be called a religion, but a way of being a gentleman.
In this sense, Confucianism has its vitality and can be inherited critically and cannot be completely negated.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there was a conflict between Chinese and Western civilizations. Almost all Chinese advanced elements advocated the complete negation of China’s traditional culture and the unreserved absorption of Western civilization.
But after Japan, across the water, became fully westernized and gained strong muscles, some people attributed China's backwardness to cultural backwardness. Then batch after batch of official students were sent to the West and the East to find suitable candidates for China. path of. When they saw the development of industrialization and the backwardness of domestic traditional agricultural society, they naturally had the idea of ??transforming or even discarding the old culture.
There are many famous figures among them, and even some writing reformers have the idea that Chinese characters are no longer good enough for Chinese and they need to be comprehensively reformed. For example, Qian Xuantong advocates the abolition of Chinese characters.
By the time of the May Fourth Movement, the New Culture Movement was also filled with an atmosphere of impetuousness, disintegration, unprincipledness, and irresponsibility. Due to all-round backwardness, outstanding intellectuals always want to catch up with the world. While affirming and following Western science and technology, politics, and culture, they will also simply attribute the backwardness to the lag in cultural traditions, which is crude and irrational. To completely deny things in Chinese tradition.
It’s like advocating vernacular literature while also proposing slogans such as “Smash the Confucian store.” They don’t know that culture and tradition are intangible and cannot be cut off by cutting off the water and the water will flow again. Just like the rebirth of a tree, new branches and buds must come from the old branches.
The Cultural Revolution period was the most severe period of fragmentation of traditional Chinese culture. The "four olds" were "broken". The independent spirit and character of intellectuals were completely destroyed. The traditional moral norms: loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, justice, integrity, shame, trust and courage were all missing. Thousands of years of culture The inheritance lasts for generations in the mainland.
Zhang Hanqing feels that the benefits that time travel has brought to him are that he has the opportunity to change China's destiny, and at the same time leave a brilliant cultural atmosphere to future generations: let them be proud of China's fine traditions and be ashamed of worshiping foreigners; The tradition of cultural all-inclusiveness and inclusiveness continues.??; Let Eastern civilization shine on this planet, and let Chinese characters become the favorite in the hearts of people around the world.
This method is to use a strong China to rejuvenate the national pride and cultural superiority of the Chinese people. This is a long-term process. In the short term, he plans to use a non-dogmatic propaganda to emphasize the advancement of traditional culture with the times.
Because he is a celebrity in the political world and has a certain influence in the cultural world, he is ready to let the Chinese people see that traditional culture that changes its thinking can also be put into new bottles and revitalized with new vitality.
This kind of subtle thing requires everyone’s efforts. The promotion of the new culture and the protection of the fine old culture require a large number of influential people to speak out, which will, to a certain extent, guide the overall westernization and bring spiritual myths to the future generation.
He does it his way.
On the Peking University campus, there are quite a few teachers who get along well with each other and have friendships. In the cultural circle, he also has some seniors who have similar ideas, especially Gu Hongming. He wants to hold him up and make him the spokesperson of Chinese culture, just like in his previous life. "Lu Xun's direction is the direction of the new culture of the Chinese nation," as propagated by later generations.
His huge prestige can already be said to be unparalleled within the People's Party, because the party's decentralization still needs a certain process. This is a bad thing, but it seems to be a good thing.
Under his instructions, the Propaganda Department of the People's Party and the General Department of Education of the National Unification Council launched a major discussion on Gu Hongming's thoughts, put forward the call to "carry forward China's fine traditions, absorb and learn from foreign culture", and put forward Gu's "Chinese People" "The spirit" is regarded as a guide to let the Chinese people know that Chinese traditional culture is not synonymous with backwardness and reaction. In the new era, it is also necessary to adhere to fine cultural traditions.
Education is China’s future. Adhering to Zhang Hanqing's request, the General Department of Education carried out the propaganda of "Five Lectures, Four Beauties and Three Loves" among primary and secondary school students; in the cultural circle, cultural workers on all fronts were required to treat traditional culture with the principle of critical inheritance and adhere to "Confucianism as the body, The attitude of "Legalism is for practical use" has allowed traditional culture to shine again.
Of course, the abolition of the old patriarchal system, women's liberation, and the elimination of feudal superstition are the most important things to break people's criticism of feudal society. Almost all descriptions of the "evil" old society are basically inseparable from these three things, and these must be criticized in large numbers and specifically.
With its dominant position, the People's Party has worked hard to reverse some of the extreme value tendencies of the Chinese people, which has had a huge impact on the Chinese people. A great collision of the old and new cultures is taking place almost everywhere, and this is also happening in many places. A big discussion.
Zhang Hanqing does not hope to use political power to overthrow the so-called old traditions. What he wants is for the civilized people to have their own thinking and make their own choices. This is the progress of history and the beginning of civilization. .
On every occasion, Zhang Hanqing preached that Chinese civilization was, and will certainly remain, the best civilization in the world: “It once had hundreds of schools of thought contending and flourished with ideas, but a man named Ying Zheng resolutely severed the ties of Chinese culture. The worst legacy left to us is to leave the right and wrong of ideas to the power to judge.
Since then, China has never had its greatest thinker, and the situation worsened during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. "
What he said is very in line with the mentality of the Chinese people.
Gong Zizhen's description of the society during the Ming and Qing Dynasties as "thousands of horses quivering in silence" couldn't be more appropriate. He also said: "Today in China, there are no talented officials in the court, no untalented thieves in the streets, and even talented people among the people." None of the great thieves'.
The Chinese people have lost their original spirit. After thousands of years, no matter what state their bodies are in, their souls will always be on their knees. They will only crawl, whether in front of the royal family or in front of foreign invaders. This situation reached its climax during the Sino-Japanese War.
The Japanese army attacked Liaodong. The Qing army had 50,000 people. The Japanese army was smaller than the Qing army. However, in less than 10 days, Liaodong was completely defeated. The Lushun Fortress was impregnable and the Qing army only held it for one day. The Russian army held it for nearly a year during the Russo-Japanese War. . The report submitted by Japanese military doctors after examining the wounds after the war wrote: "Judging from the wounds of the Qing soldiers, most of the injection points were at the back, and very few were shot from the front."
The biggest problem for the Chinese people right now is that having no faith is exactly what some people believe.
On the contrary, in Japan, they have great enthusiasm for Chinese culture. Miyazaki Toten said in "The Dream of Thirty-Three Years" that "if China is completely destroyed, there will be no hope for the countries in the East." If China can thrive, there is hope for assistance from Eastern countries. Alas! China's problem is actually a big problem in the East. ’
The spirit becomes wide. Chinese civilization is as vast as the sea. Once chaos is brought to an end, its grandeur and grandeur will undoubtedly emerge. China is the cultural motherland of Japan. Even Shintaro Ishihara, the most famous right-wing anti-China element, had to admit, "As soon as I read Tang poetry and Song lyrics, I felt a ray of nostalgia in my heart."
This is a wisp of cultural nostalgia. Although there is a language barrier between China and Japan, we can communicate through written conversations, but we cannot communicate with many ethnic minorities. This shows that Japan is culturally inferior to China.
Therefore, in addition to seeking economic prosperity and military strength, Zhang Hanqing also believes that cultural self-confidence is one of the signs of a country's strength. In his words, "The people have faith, the nation has hope, and the country has strength." Let the Chinese people start from Spiritually escaping from slavery is more important and challenging than gaining sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity.

Chapter 583 Salon

Zhang Hanqing was unexpected by the lively discussion about old and new traditions.
Since the May 4th Movement, what has been most active in China is not the rhetoric of politicians or turf wars, but the myths and criticism of Chinese culture.
The People’s Party’s conclusion of critically inheriting traditional culture also caused considerable influence among intellectuals in Beijing. A group of like-minded scholars gathered together in twos and threes in the evening to chat, or formed groups in groups, forming a spectacular ideological baptism in China in the 1920s and 1930s, which was later called the Great Liberation of Thoughts.
The circles that Zhang Hanqing often participates in are all big names in education. Due to safety issues, the places are all in the commander's mansion. Either Yu Yifan, Gu Ruiyu, or both acted as half-host's companions, attracting an increasingly wider crowd. This kind of gathering was called a salon.
Salon is a foreign word, originally referring to the luxurious living room in the residences of the upper class in France. Since the 17th century, celebrities in Paris (mostly ladies and ladies) have often turned their living rooms into gathering places. Most of the people who come in and out are dramatists, celebrities, writers, musicians, painters, critics, philosophers and politicians.
They have similar interests and gather together, holding drinks and enjoying elegant music, while talking for a long time without restraint. The word "salon" came into being and soon became popular in the European and American cultural circles.
In China, in the 1920s and 1930s, there was also a famous salon, and the hostess was Lin Huiyin, who is often talked about today. It can be seen that the social style has long been spread to China.
Talking about politics with literati is far less enjoyable than talking about romance, not to mention that there are always beauties around you that make people daydream. Of course, it would be vulgar to talk directly about women. Most of Zhang Hanqing's salons were about poetry, with occasional political gossip.
He is now half a poet. His first epoch-making literary work was the ground-breaking new-style poem "I Love This Land", which was regarded as the foundation of new poetry; followed by another new poem "Phoenix Nirvana" that shocked the literary world. This new poem directly promoted the development of new poetry and inspired the poet-it turns out that new poetry can be written like this!
However, his attainments in old words are even more extraordinary: "Popular Poppy - On the Pillow", "Qing Ping Le - Liupan Mountain", "Nian Nu Jiao - Kunlun", "Qinyuan Chun - Hanyang", "Shui Tiao Ge Tou - Swimming" successively It was born out of nowhere, injecting new vitality into the century-old poetry world. Each of these is a masterpiece, which makes scholars who study Zhang Hanqing's literary creation feel ashamed - it turns out that the sharpness of new poetry cannot make the old-style poetry "poor"
Under his direct leadership, the two major poetry societies in the north and the south were rejuvenated. Of course, they had not been able to produce a truly good poem in the past few years, which also puzzled them. In the end, they could only come to one conclusion: Young Marshal genius!
??Nonsense? Don’t even look at who wrote it? That was achieved after decades of revolutionary life and bloody storms. How could that kind of courage, experience, and ideological realm be something that ordinary scholars can write behind closed doors? China has only produced one great man, Mao, for thousands of years!
Just when everyone thought that the young marshal would continue to look forward to the glory of old-style poetry, "A Generation" turned out to be unexpected. Although these two sentences did not appear as verses, after Zhang Hanqing denounced Song Ziwen, his original words were published in Wuhan's "Revolution News", and these two sentences were singled out as a model for poetry research.
It is indeed a model. At least Hu Shi and Wen Yiduo thought they could not surpass it. Now they are still in the early stages of poetry creation.
While the "Free Style" headed by Qian Xuantong and Hu Shi and the "Metric Style" headed by Zong Baihua and Wen Yiduo were still arguing over the reform proposals of poetry, Zhang Hanqing had already begun to regard them as "all kinds of literary styles". "Meaningful Attempt" and made outstanding progress, which allowed them to reduce some arguments and devote their energy to creating excellent works.
As for literary creations such as "My Home is in the Northeast" and "The Girl from Daban City", if they can be considered "literature", they simply ignore them and regard them as the young commander's impromptu jokes. This work cannot be taken seriously.
In fact, Zhang Hanqing likes these the most. He can sing without the burden of plagiarism. It is a true performance.
On the New Year of 1923, a salon party to celebrate the New Year was held as usual. If you like to dance, go dance - Zhang Hanqing has already set up a dance hall in the handsome manor. If you like to brag, feel free to come and brag.
Qian Xuantong is an old friend of Zhang Hanqing, so he seems very casual in the commander's house. Zhang Hanqing came back from dancing with Yu Yifan. He was arguing with several professors who could not move their legs, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the new and old culture. Seeing Zhang Hanqing coming back, he spread his hands and said: "The young marshal is here. He is the leader of the literary world. You can ask his opinion!"
You should know that althoughIt was the People's Party that started this big controversy, but Zhang Hanqing did not characterize it. It’s not that it can’t be done, but it’s a bit of a dictatorship. In an official-dominated China, once something is officially determined, it’s difficult for all walks of life to raise objections. If things go on like this, the spirit of independence will be distorted, which is inconsistent with Zhang Hanqing’s “Let a hundred schools of thought bloom and contend.” "The original intention.
Think about it: since the pre-Qin Dynasty, all three religions and nine streams have been tolerated, which has given rise to a grand event in the cultural world. The emergence of hundreds of schools of thought has made Chinese culture colorful. Channel good insights, but be careful not to silence dissenting voices—sometimes these dissenting voices can be the magic bullet to move forward.
Among these characters, there was a gentle young man wearing glasses who caught Zhang Hanqing’s attention. His hair was smooth and evenly parted on both sides, his attitude was chic, and his eyes were filled with hope. It's just that his love is not for Zhang Hanqing. Of course, the latter never needs it.
At this moment, he was looking at Zhang Hanqing eagerly. Leaving aside his political and military achievements, the literary attainments of young marshals who are younger than him are also difficult for him to match at present.
This person is very strange, because he has never been here before; but this person is very familiar, and he must have seen him.
Who is it?
Zhang Hanqing smiled cheerfully at Qian Xuantong's half-joking and half-serious words. Being able to argue in a harmonious atmosphere is also a great thing in the cultural world. He had not been involved in this kind of thing before, and he did not want to do it in the future, because he knew his own weight: apart from the things he "caught at random", the only thing he could do in literature was the "prophet" of history.
He smiled and said: "I will not answer the question of which one is better. This is not something that can be compared, just like a dead tree sprouting new branches, who do you think is the most beautiful? The new is born out of the old, and the old is endowed by the new. In new forms.”
The man with glasses finally couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Young Marshal, do you think that new poetry is a new form of old-style poetry?"
This question is difficult for any serious literary critic to answer, let alone Zhang Hanqing. Although he is also a talker, he is not a material for literature.
The love-hate relationship between new poetry and old poetry has been tense since the birth of the May Fourth vernacular new poetry. This protracted debate has accompanied the entire history of Chinese literature in the twentieth century and has not yet ended. From whether the current vernacular can be incorporated into poetry to whether the later old-style poetry can enter the new literary style, it can be said that there are many changes.
Zhang Hanqing doesn’t have the ability to talk about this awkward issue, but as an outstanding “poet”, he always has to express his attitude when being asked for advice in such a high-profile manner. Fortunately, there are some incisive remarks from future generations that he can use.
"To put it simply, old poetry belongs to the miscellaneous literature system: the ancients used the classics and history as an educational system. Learning first started with reading the classics, and then compared the classics with history. It was required to authenticate with history, discuss history with classics, and then look at hundreds of schools of thought, and then gain something in mind. It was developed into poetry and prose, which resulted in the indistinguishability of philosophy, literature and history, so it is called the miscellaneous literature system.
This education method emphasizes memorization, so the "Book of Changes" and "The Book of Songs" can be used first. They all have a tendency of thinking in pairs: the image thinking in the "Book of Changes" contains the imprint of original thinking, which builds a world system in the association of pairs of images; the "Book of Songs" uses Fu Bixing as an expression technique, requiring The reader starts to make associations between this and that.
Because the reading habits of later generations can determine the creative standards of writing, and the preconceptions of stylistic awareness affect the conception, this is the so-called literary sentiment. New poetry advocates that experience determines perception, and perception determines conception, which is love-born poetry.
It can be summed up in one sentence: the ancients used couplets when they wrote poems, while today’s people use metaphors when they write poems. "
This explanation was so novel that the man with glasses couldn't help laughing. Zhang Hanqing made a very insightful argument as soon as he opened his mouth. Hu Shi and others stopped to listen. Later, they couldn't help but nod their heads: "Young Marshal's analysis is very pertinent, but Young Marshal thinks new poetry needs metrical restrictions?"
Zhang Hanqing thought for a while and said: "I can't say whether I want it or not, but the content of new poetry comes from experience and perception. Lyrical experience is often full of associations, and the imagination of perception becomes the visualization of language. In short, poetry is a three-dimensional language. How can I express it? Say, poetry is not written that way. The ancients believed that words should not be used to harm meaning. As new poetry, if we overemphasize meter, we might as well go back to the old way of rhythmic poetry."
The man with glasses seemed a little dissatisfied, but it was hard to argue. After all, the person in front of him was a poet who had extraordinary performance in both new and old poems. Do you think he is wrong? But the poems you wrote cannot surpass his height, and he can play both systems well!
Hu Shi smiled and said to the man with glasses: "Zhimo, I told you that the young marshal's literary talent is beyond your imagination. Are you convinced now?"
Shima! The one who can play with Hu Shi at this time must be Xu Zhimo! This awesome poet even showed off in front of him and calmed him down, haha! Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but smile proudly.
Yu Yifan looked at Zhang Hanqing intently, seeming to be shocked by his erudition. How come my uncle knows everything? He is only three years older than me, and according to what I know and see, he spent most of his time in the military. Is there really such a thing as a child prodigy or a natural talent? Her eyes were up and down for a moment, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
“Huh, look at your proud look, I will definitely knock you down today!” (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Showing off in front of him and calming him down, haha! Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but smile proudly.

It’s very strange, how could Zhang Hanqing hang out with pure literati like them? Just show off occasionally! The reason why he condescended to attend these gatherings with his head stretched out was just to get close to Lin Huiyin.
Lin Huiyin, the most famous talented woman in the history of the Republic of China, once became famous all over the country with her song "You Are April in the World". She had many entanglements in her life. Some people summed up her life like this: marrying the most prestigious, hooking up with the most talented, and hanging with the most infatuated.
At this time, she had already established a romantic relationship with Liang Sicheng, the most prestigious young talent at the time (of course, in the political arena, our Marshal Zhang Hanqing was the most prestigious young talent). Liang Sicheng is the son of the famous Liang Qichao. This alone is already awe-inspiring. Considering that he is China's first and most famous architect, he can be said to be a tiger father without a dog son.
Liang Sicheng is a boy recommended to her by her father Lin Changmin. He is sincere and modest, and his family is well-off. They met more than two years ago. Lin Changmin once served as the Chief Justice of Duan Qirui's cabinet in the Republic of China. He was a celebrity in the political and cultural circles of the Republic of China. His cousin Lin Juemin was a famous martyr in the Republic of China and was a close match with the Liang family. The combination of the two can be regarded as a talented man and a beautiful woman, and they finally achieved success.
As for the most talented person, it is Xu Zhimo.
After meeting Lin Huiyin in the UK, in order to pursue her, Xu Zhimo, who was already married and had children, resolutely divorced his first wife Zhang Youyi in Berlin in March this year. In November, he also published a divorce notice in the domestic "New Zhejiang News", which became the top news at the time. He also wrote "Laughing to Solve the Trouble Knot" to express his happiness at the dissolution of this old-style marriage.
The so-called most infatuated person was her secret love for the philosopher and logician Jin Yuelin, who she never married. He protected her silently throughout her life. It was not until the last night of her life that she used "a poetic Qianxun Waterfall" to express her love for the world forever. The famous elegiac couplet "Yue Tian" expresses this painful feeling to the outside world.
Such a character cannot help but attract Zhang Hanqing's attention: curiosity is an innate quality of everyone, and hunting for beauty is probably the impulse in every man's heart - you must know that Lin Huiyin is both a talented woman and a beauty, with many kinds of qualities. Books and periodicals have written about this.
Hearing a hundred times is better than seeing one, meeting is better than being famous. Sure enough, when Zhang Hanqing first met Lin Huiyin, he was a little shocked because of his inner and visual impulses.
Indescribable feeling: In terms of beauty, he has already tasted Yu Fengzhi's elegance, dignity and generosity, Huang Wanqing's freshness, suppleness and fortitude in the bones, experienced Yu Yifan's aura and beauty and Gu Ruiyu's beauty. Lin Huiyin's beauty is not so much beautiful as pretty.
Yes, Qiao. Lin Huiyin is not only beautiful but also talented, which brings out a kind of intellectual beauty. Her face is in line with Eastern aesthetics, delicate and gentle. As time goes by, her beauty gradually settles.
The cousins ??who grew up with her can almost describe in detail how her dress, speech and behavior at that time fascinated them. What is worth recalling is Zhang Youyi's evaluation of her: "Xu Zhimo's girlfriend is another lady with more complex thoughts, more beautiful looks, and completely free feet."
Zhang Hanqing’s feeling of “pretty” is slightly different from that of women. He just felt that she was refined and had a refreshing beauty, which was very different from the girls he had come into contact with. Maybe it's psychological? Maybe this is what is called temperament? Anyway, Zhang Hanqing's good impression of her was established in an instant.
Later at a party, he greeted her in a friendly and decent manner. Under the eyes of everyone, this was all he could do.
Through simple greetings and introductions, Zhang Hanqing has already met many celebrities in the cultural world: Hu Shi and Qian Xuantong are old friends; Zhang Hanqing mistook that young man wearing glasses and being polite and elegant at first to be Xu Zhimo. Later, they were told that it was Liang Sicheng; and Xu Zhimo, who always wore gold-rimmed glasses, had a bookish face, and was full of pride, was huddled in the corner with a tired look on his face, which was shocking.
What is the reason that makes this most famous talent in modern poetry so decadent? It seems that no one here pays too much attention to his inner world, and he is not as famous as he was later.
The people who associate with Lin Huiyin are all top-notch figures in their respective fields. To be able to talk to them, one must stand at the same height and have sparks with them in terms of ideological realm. She has a bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania. She is a woman influenced by Chinese and Western cultures. She expresses her feelings in a straightforward Westernized way.
This point, when there were not many female intellectuals at that time, seemed particularly novel and rare in the eyes of everyone. This is probably what Lu Xun meant when he said, "Things that are scarce are valuable."
But for Zhang Hanqing, this advantage does not seem to be outstanding. Also, before the time of total liberation, society"China is a giant. If it wakes up, the whole world will be shaken." I think our current task is to awaken this giant.
As for the methods, of course there are many. Our proposal of "taking the essence and discarding the dross" is a kind of critical inheritance. Ms. Lin and others like to clear out the room and start a new one, which is not a good idea. However, if the house is too big, it may be difficult to clean and it may leave dead spaces.
The most important point is that Western culture is not necessarily suitable for Chinese people. Think about eating with a knife and fork instead of chopsticks, and kissing instead of bowing when meeting. If the other person is Ms. Lin, of course I will be happy to accept it, but if it is a man, I will get goosebumps if others don’t know what to think! "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Listening to Zhang Hanqing’s light-hearted humor, everyone in the audience laughed heartily. Lin Huiyin also rarely blushed with embarrassment and had no intention of dealing with it anymore, but he had to admire his quick wit.
At the beginning, she initially had an instinctive resistance to Hu Shi and Qian Xuantong's insistence on inviting a warlord to participate in the salon she led. Although Zhang Hanqing wrote many popular poems, his more impressive political and military achievements concealed the fact that he was actually a very good poet.
“And her father has warned her before.
Her father, Lin Changmin, is a recognized star figure among Japanese students studying abroad. He graduated from Japan's most prestigious private university, Waseda. After returning to China, he founded Fuzhou No. 2 Middle School and Fujian Political and Legal College (one of the predecessors of Fujian Normal University). He once studied at Xiong Xiling He served in the cabinet and also served as the chief justice of Duan Qirui's government.
This interaction made him relatively close to the Anhui Clan.
On the eve of the Zhijiang-Anhui War, he visited Europe in the spring of 1920. After October, he suggested to the then President Li Yuanhong that Congress should be restored to complete the constitution. He was elected as a member of the Constitution Drafting Committee and was elected as the chairman of the Subsistence Chapter Drafting Committee.
It’s just that the current Beiyang government is completely controlled by the Zhizhi and Fengtian cliques, and the Fengcheng clique, the most powerful, has set up its own team to compete with the Beiyang government. With the separation of powers and the leadership of the People's Party, the Northeast and Northwest have become turbulent.
This made his blood flow empty.
He has always been confident that he is a "capable minister in governing the world" and was a cultural and political celebrity during the Republic of China. The contrast between the fact of political marginalization and the fact that Xiong Xiling and Zhu Qijin were re-employed in the Guan Dynasty made him even more dissatisfied with the Feng clique.
So it makes sense that Zhang Hanqing would be asked by him to "take care of" his daughter.
Although he designed countless plans, Lin Huiyin could not do anything after the actual meeting. Zhang Hanqing's strong aura, elegant conversation and quick reactions make him look more like a gentleman than a vulgar man.
Now, the gentleman started flirting with her.
She has this feeling. Women’s sixth sense is very accurate.
She was right, Zhang Hanqing was planning to tease her.
Throughout a century of history, Lin Huiyin is a rare all-around talented woman in modern times. She is a writer and an architect. She can write poems and paintings. She is proficient in prose, novels, scripts, and translations. She even knows stage scenery. Her English reading and writing skills are so good that foreign friends are amazed.
The key is that it is still beautiful.
Her appearance is unlike other women who appear around her. She is unique and completely incomparable. Although Zhang Hanqing has many women, he can't find this type.
Yu Fengzhi and Huang Wanqing are actually the same type of people, they are the kind of models who carry forward the virtues of old traditional women. Liang Qingzhu, who had caught a glimpse of the world, and Gu Ruiyu, who seemed to be open-minded, could actually fall into this category. It's just that they had received a new education, and many things in their heads were still old.
Yu Yifan is more than lively and has the shadow of Lin Huiyin, but he cannot compare with the latter in terms of achievements.
The seventh lady of the Sheng family has a completely different kind of personality: a noble daughter trained by a wealthy family.
Because they are rare, we like them. Our young commander is a man who does not mind having too many beauties around him. Being able to have a romantic relationship with Lin Huiyin, who was rated as one of the "four beauties of the Republic of China" by later generations, is very challenging and interesting to think about.
With the improvement of status, the energy and difficulty spent in pursuing girls are decreasing. It is not easy to meet someone who is not pretentious, which of course arouses his strong will to fight.
To put it bluntly, it’s just cheap!
Lin Huiyin is naturally a dazzling center in the circle of intellectuals. Regardless of the admirers who have admired her gorgeous appearance for a long time or the guests who are lucky enough to enter her salon, the image they usually get is that there is always a group of elite talents like footlights. He looked up at her with his eyes fixed on the ground, highlighting her with admiration and tenderness, making her look more radiant and radiant.
At this time, she has not yet found an owner. Strictly speaking, it was because she was unmarried.
“ The person who surrounded her like flies that day was Xu Zhimo, the favorite student of her father Lin Changmin. He was willing to abandon his wife and children to pursue her all the way from Europe to Beijing for her. He was so sincere in his love. Unfortunately, he exerted too much force and his waist slipped.
Because Xu Zhimo is married, his wife Zhang Youyi also has a son
Although Lin Huiyin’s father, Lin Changmin, appreciated Xu Zhimo’s talent, he would never allow his daughter to become a third party who destroyed other people’s families. The best son-in-law in his mind was Liang Sicheng, the eldest son of his family friend Liang Qichao, who was a humble and honest gentleman.No matter what, who are you? "
The guest nodded and got on the bus and said: "Pull to the west of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
When this kind of poem first came out, he thought it was just okay. It was a new thing after all, so he dared to publish it, and later put it in the "Attempt Collection" - he himself knew that the weight was too light, especially when this young marshal from Northeast China After writing some epoch-making new poems during his spare time in the military, he only dared to try.
Each of the Marshal’s poems is absolutely excellent!
Now he doesn’t know which of his poems he is referring to, but it would be better if he doesn’t try to do the same thing. To be honest, in the face of the opponent's absolute strength, he felt that he could only be crushed.
"I dare you to joke about it! I remember that Mr. Shizhi wrote a song called "Hope" some time ago. I liked it very much after reading it and composed it into a song in private."
Oh, this new poem can also be composed into music? Hu Shi was curious.
That was in the summer of 1921. When I went to Xishan, my friend Xiong Bingsan and his wife gave him a pot of orchids. I happily took it home and took good care of it while reading and writing, but it didn't bloom until autumn, so I wrote this song "Hope" out of emotion.
Although this poem is in five characters, it is far away from the old-style poetry, and more like new poetry. It is a relatively mature work after several years of exploring new poetry.
The young marshal is really knowledgeable and has a strong memory, and his studious spirit of learning from the best of others and constantly pursuing new things is worth learning. This is what Hu Shi said in his heart. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

“I came from the mountains and brought orchids and grass with me.
Planted in a small garden, hope the flowers bloom well.
Look once a day, and the time passes when you see the flowers.
There is not a single flower-gatherer who is in a hurry.
Seeing the arrival of autumn, I moved flowers to offer at home.
When the spring breeze returns next year, I wish you a pot full of flowers. "
This song was Zhang Hanqing’s favorite song when he was young before time travel. The reason why he likes it is because it was sung by Taiwanese sweet song beauty Zhuo Yiting. Her beautiful singing voice - mainly her pretty face, made me couldn't help but search Du Niang for the lyrics, and I accidentally saw that it was written by the famous Hu Shi!
He sang very beautifully, and the song was originally catchy. Yu Yifan forgot that she was still thinking about defeating Zhang Hanqing just now, so she held his arm and said, "Uncle, you have to teach me this song."
In front of so many people, she and Zhang Hanqing were so intimate, just a few old men - I'm afraid this is also the understanding and immunity to new things that accompany new poems. Yu Yifan showed little affection towards her uncle. You can't be criticized for being a girl.
??Besides, the young marshal is really worthy of admiration these days: aside from being able to compose good poems, the difficulty is that he has even immersed himself in other people's poems. Otherwise, how could he compose such a good piece of music? Even men are impressed, let alone an inexperienced little girl like her? Moreover, Yu Yifan has been in their circle for a long time, and everyone has a tacit understanding about her and the young marshal.
But Lin Huiyin showed a disapproving expression, while the other lady was impressed by Zhang Hanqing's depth of "research" on new poems.
"Young Marshal, I also wrote some new poems two years ago, and I would like to use your Chrysostom to comment on them." The lady asked for advice with a smile when she had time.
In fact, Zhang Hanqing had noticed her a long time ago. In fact, this kind of salon is said to be a literary review, but most of the time and events still have a purpose: to test the waters of a certain theory, to defend a certain trend of thought, to guide public opinion for a certain work, or for other purposes. thought. To be more frank, the salon is actually a kind of communication.
It’s just that everyone gets what they need.
He knew her name was Bing Xin.
Grandma, I grew up reading your "Little Reader"!
Of course, the purpose of his participation in the salon was not to comfort his soul. With his current status, the only things that could comfort his soul were beautiful women, greater power, and benefits.
Bing Xin doesn’t have all this, but the people around her do.
Her father Xie Baozhang is currently a counselor in the Staff Office of the Ministry of the Navy and a rear admiral.
This identity is not uncommon. In fact, the Navy Department of the Beiyang government now exists in name only. All generals have only empty titles, and their role in him has not been demonstrated.
But there is another person and another place that has come into his eyes. He is Sa Zhenbing from Fujian.
After seeing real seals with real cannons in Guangdong and Sun Dapao, Zhang Hanqing's enthusiasm for the navy, especially warships with heavy artillery, greatly increased. After that confrontation, Sun Yat-sen's fleet split into two: a small part followed him, and a larger part followed the fleet commander-in-chief Wen Shude into the arms of the Zhili.
The Beiyang Navy is an army with serious local factionalism. After the Beiyang Navy was completely destroyed, the Nanyang Navy generals from Mawei, Fujian, who dominated China's naval power for a long time, were all Fujianese.
In the Beiyang era of warlord chaos, only by sticking together can we survive. Therefore, it is no surprise that the navy is xenophobic.
The person who had more influence on that naval fleet than Win Shude was Admiral Sa Zhenbing, a Fujianese and navy veteran, although he had already left the military and served as the governor of Fujian Province.
"Zhi and Feng will definitely see a real sign under their men. This is determined by the development of power and different political opinions. This is not surprising." But Zhang Hanqing was reluctant to let the only remaining fleet become cannon fodder.
The navy is already weak, so we can’t use up the little blood we have!
To influence and win over this fleet, we need Sa to suppress the ice. Next, we need to unify the southeast. With Sa to suppress the ice, the people of Fujian can be free from weapons.
And Bing Xin’s father had a good relationship with Sa Zhenbing—back then, he was the latter’s deputy. She was able to appear at the salon organized by Lin Huiyin because her fellow villagers and fathers were colleagues.
"I have read some of Miss Xie's poems. "Stars" and "Spring Water" are both very good. A piece of ice is in the jade pot, and Miss Xie's pen name is also very good." Zhang Hanqing said. He didn't lie. In his previous life, he had learned it in middle school and had to recite it for the exam.
"Huh?" Bing Xin was surprised. She is one year older than Zhang Hanqing, but she is impressed by the latter's literary talent.He was praised in front of the literati. Although his status and reputation in the literary world were not worthy of such a compliment, it sounded beautiful to her ears.
Fortunately, I have done good things to make him prosperous again. Well, I am his lucky star!
"Well, I originally wanted to write a long poem, but suddenly my thoughts were blocked and I could only squeeze out a few sentences, so I named it "Fragmented Chapter"."
This time Xu Zhimo also admired it. Many people can do it if they can explain the theory logically. It is not easy to write poems so well. The key is that the young marshal also studies other people's poems, which is why he has achieved today's achievements. . Didn’t you see that the young marshal compiled all Hu Shi’s poems into songs? It can be seen that the depth of immersion is usually deep.
"No, I have to study hard when I go back and try to write a few good poems. Otherwise, how can I have the face to talk about literature and poetry in front of Huiyin?" He thought to himself.
Is it possible that Xu Zhimo, one of the greatest poets in modern Chinese poetry, was motivated by Zhang Hanqing’s stimulation and has been out of control ever since? There is no key abduction in literary history. But after Xu Zhimo, who was little known in the poetry world, became famous in China a few years later with "Zhimo's Poems", Hu Shi and others believed that the young commander had a great influence on him.
But what Xu Zhimo didn’t know was that the poem the young marshal plagiarized should actually belong to his cousin Bian Zhilin. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 587 Beijing-Hankou Railway Strike
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
While talking about poetry and lyrics, the time came to 1923.
With Zhang Hanqing’s efforts, the newly established Soviet Union and the Republic of China formally established diplomatic relations, and the two countries sent ambassadors to each other. Privately speaking, before this, batches of arms that were unnecessary in the Soviet era were transported into the Fengcian territory via the Siberian Railway via Xinjiang, Mongolia, and Heilongjiang.
Because the Soviet Union has decided to enter a period of economic construction, it is very urgent for them that the artillery of little significance can be exchanged for urgently needed food and other items.
By the end of last year, in addition to meeting the configuration of all 23 division-affiliated artillery regiments, the major arsenals of the Fengtian clique had also exchanged 300 75mm light howitzers from the Soviet Union. Although something of this caliber is considered light among the Soviet Red Army, it is still quite rare in China, and it can hit farther than mountain artillery.
The Tianjin Automobile Factory has also produced large-scale vehicles. In addition to selling most of them to major factories and mines in the Northeast, Zhang Hanqing ordered the allocation of 1,000 trucks and 300 howitzers to form 5 artillery regiments, respectively equipped with the 27th, 28th, and 28th Fengjun Artillery Regiments. The 29th Division and the artillery regiments of the 1st and 4th Divisions of the People's Army were re-equipped, thus giving the five elite divisions of the Fengtian clique initial mechanization capabilities and getting rid of the history of horseback artillery.
The Lanzhou Arsenal was already in the process of expansion. After acquiring five production lines for Soviet howitzers, it actually had a greater production capacity than the Shenyang Arsenal: because it produces Fengjun armaments in an all-round way, the Shenyang Arsenal is not like Lanzhou, which can produce everything from nothing. There is no burden to directly launch the howitzer. Instead, it fully retains the production lines for mountain artillery, mortars, and machine guns, and adds four howitzer production lines.
In any case, together with a production line taken over by the Hankou Arsenal, the Feng Faction has the ability to produce 600 such howitzers per year, plus the annual output of 510 mountain cannons, its advantages over other factions have a tendency to expand sharply.
The direct line clearly felt the pressure. They have also continued to expand on the basis of the previous eight divisions and six mixed brigades of nearly 150,000 people, which has further tightened the arms production of their Gongxian arsenal.
However, due to financial constraints, they were unable to obtain financial support from the central government - the Fengcian faction controlled the central government, and through the tax-sharing system, only the tax revenue left for each locality to barely operate, and the rest was used to develop the economy. What the Zhili can collect is only the traditional income from Hebei and Henan provinces and the Beijing-Hankow Railway, as well as parts of Shandong close to the capital.
With a small territory and insufficient economic size, it is naturally at a disadvantage in armed confrontation.
Because the firepower is not enough to compete with the Feng Clan - the Zhili Clan army is equipped with a total of 7 artillery regiments and 7 artillery battalions, barely reaching 40% of the Feng Clan, and it does not have more powerful howitzers.
Wu Peifu decided to increase the production of artillery, but where did the money come from?
The impoverished land in Zhiyu and other places can no longer be plundered for any more financial resources, otherwise the local people themselves will ruin the base camp where the Zhili clique relies on without the need for Feng Xi to take action. The industrial foundation of these two places is weak. Agriculture has a huge population and a small amount of arable land. For a while, it is impossible to rely on agriculture. The only thing that can collect money is the main railway line-Beijing-Hankou Railway.
The Beijing-Hankow Railway runs through the three provinces of Hebei, Henan and Hubei. It is the lifeline of transportation connecting North China and Central China. It has important economic, political and military significance. The operating income of the Beijing-Hankow Railway was one of the main sources of military pay for warlord Wu Peifu.
Hubei was lost, and the southern section of the Beijing-Hankow Railway changed hands. Wu Peifu's income dropped sharply, not to mention the cost of expanding the army. In this case, if you want to significantly increase your income, you cannot increase revenue, you can only reduce expenditure.
Therefore, as soon as the New Year passed, Wu Peifu ordered the entire line to reduce the income of Beijing-Hankow Railway employees, and ignored the public's opinions on the "8-hour work system, protection of child labor" - in order to express his "love for the people", he also Solemnly accepted the "Draft Labor Law" proposed by Hu Shi and others.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????But the wages are still going to be lowered. Are we really considered to be the working class or are they as easy to fool as before? Compared with the nourishing life of the workers in the Fengtian territory, when I look at myself, I feel that I am in heaven and on earth.
After various parties and groups voiced their opposition, some progressive elements, including activists who may be leaning towards the People's Party, are preparing to convene the Beijing-Hankou Railway Federation of Trade Unions in Zhengzhou to use the power of the group to say "no" to Wu Peifu!
This plays into Zhang Hanqing’s hands. If he doesn’t make good use of it, he won’t be the Zhang Hanqing who takes advantage of every opportunity.
As soon as February passed, nearly 300 people including representatives of railway unions along the line, representatives of the Hanyeping Federation of Trade Unions, more than 30 trade unions in Wuhan, and student representatives from Beijing, Wuhan and other places gathered in Zhengzhou to demand that the direct government cancel the tax increase. The command.
Wu Peifu dispatched a large number of armed policemen to enforce martial law throughout the city of Zhengzhou, and ordered a ban on convening the inaugural meeting of the Beijing-Hankow Railway Federation of Trade Unions. However, the workers' representatives attending the meeting, regardless of life and death, broke through the heavy siege of the military and police.Shouting slogans such as "Long live the Beijing-Hankow Railway Federation of Trade Unions" and "Long live the victory of the working class", a meeting was held at the Puyuan Theater in Zhengzhou to announce the establishment of the Beijing-Hankow Railway Federation of Trade Unions.
On that day, heavily armed military police surrounded the venue, forcibly dissolved the meeting, destroyed the Federation of Trade Unions and the Zhengzhou Branch, and drove away the representatives.
That night, the Executive Committee of the Beijing-Hankou Railway Federation of Trade Unions held a secret meeting and decided to move the temporary general office of the Federation of Trade Unions to the Hankou River Bank and decided to hold a general strike on the entire railway from February 4.
On February 4, more than 20,000 workers across the railway went on strike, and the 1,200-kilometer railway was suddenly paralyzed.
How can this happen? ! This is not only a traffic problem, but also a major event that directly affects life and death! The interests of countries such as Britain and the United States in China have been greatly damaged. The British and American consulates in Beijing and Wuhan sent personnel to conduct intensive negotiations non-stop with Wu Peifu and the government in central China, mainly Xia Shoukang, the governor of Hubei Province, hoping to conclude the case as soon as possible.
This general strike was extraordinary in history - it was the culmination of the first labor movement led by the Communist Party of China. As a result, with the support of imperialism, Wu Peifu mobilized more than 20,000 military and policemen along the Beijing-Hankow Railway. The suppression of striking workers resulted in the February 7th tragedy that shocked China and the world. 52 workers died and more than 300 were injured.
In the end, the strike ended with the Federation of Trade Unions’ final compromise, which was considered a failure. Of course, the significance of progress in this process aside, the so-called "growth" achieved through human life is not a beautiful thing worth writing about, at least Zhang Hanqing doesn't like it.
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing’s time travel finally incited a trace of historical progress. Compared with previous tragedies, this general strike has changed slightly due to the People's Army stationed in Hubei - Hubei is the territory of the People's Party. At least Wu Peifu cannot enter Wuhan and kill people randomly, and the Federation of Trade Unions is also in Hankou | Very moisturizing.
Under the leadership of the People's Party and the support of the People's Army, the railway line in Hubei was in full swing, while the strike boom in Henan, Hebei, and Beijing sections was suppressed by the Zhili Party. Wu Peifu, who was increasingly angry, could not regret it. After moving to the southern section, they launched more ferocious revenge on the workers under their control.
??This triggered an even larger outpouring of support. In Beijing, student waves flocked to the Presidential Palace one after another, demanding that President Li Yuanhong "come forward" to control the already bloody scene.
But how can the students know that the "President" of Lebanon, who looks up to everyone, has the slightest objection to Wu Peifu, one of the two pillars of the immediate line? In other words, even if he wanted to object, Wu Peifu had to listen to him!
Seeing that the government was unable to effectively restrain Wu Peifu, some people thought of the Fengxian, which was also a pillar. Isn't the young marshal in Beijing? Asking him to come forward, Wu Peifu should restrain himself, right? Didn't you see that the young marshal made a hasty march, and the team of a hundred people was stunned to stop Xiao Yaonan's intention to get involved in Hubei?
Now that the Fengxuan is bigger, doesn’t his weight become heavier?
It’s not just students who think this way, even Yu Yifan, who is very close to Zhang Hanqing, also thinks so. Yu Yifan, who had already "got" a good job in the Ministry of Finance, also rushed into the Marshal's Mansion and got angry at Zhang Hanqing: "Can't you just take care of things on Jinghan Road?"
This little girl is really rebellious. For some reason, she has rarely called herself "little uncle" in the past few years. She always calls herself "you you" and sometimes even omits "you", of course in private. She is a young marshal, a leader of the People's Army and the People's Party, but the word "you" has never been mentioned in her mouth, yet Zhang Hanqing still does this.
She is also very cute when she is angry, with her little mouth slightly pouting, making people want to kiss her. But thinking that she had grown up and become a big girl, Zhang Hanqing secretly swallowed his saliva and tried not to let himself think about this.
However, after finally leaving Yu Yifan's mouth and catching a glimpse of her undulating chest, Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but want to look away - if he didn't need to maintain his tall image as an "elder".
The little girl is developing extremely well!
He secretly swallowed another mouthful of saliva and said in a serious tone: "Yifan, do you think things are so simple?"
Yu Yifan curled his lips: "What's not simple? You have so many troops, even if you suppress him, you can crush him to death. If you don't take action, isn't it just to discredit Wu Peifu so that you can take the opportunity to clean up the mess! Do you think I don't know?" "
Her word "pressure" almost made Zhang Hanqing's thoughts wander again. Considering that the target was Wu Peifu, he still took back his bad taste. But Yu Yifan still cleverly said what he was thinking: "Eh? Is this little girl too smart, or is my political trick so superficial that even she can see it?"
Needless to say, Zhang Hanqing had the moral intention to defeat Wu Peifu. As the Feng clique became more and more powerful, his idea also changed from peacefully ruling Beijing between Zhili and Fengzhi to overthrowing the Zhili clique's dominance. To be honest, the current Zhi clique is no longer worthy of being on an equal footing with the Feng clique. Being able to rule the world on his own, Zhang Hanqing will not insist on showing generosity.
But as the Sun Yat-sen clique in the south was overthrown, the Zhili clique wisely chose "peace is the most important" and began to advocate the peaceful reunification of China. Britain, the United States, Japan and other countries are also unwilling to see the Feng system eventually unify China, and hope to maintain the coexistence of various princes in China, so they are also calling for peace.

Chapter 588 Collision

In this case, even if Zhang Hanqing intends to use force to attack the Zhili clique, he must also consider the reactions of all walks of life.
However, Zhang Hanqing did not feel any psychological burden by taking advantage of the strike on the Beijing-Hankou Line. This was also a decision he made along the way: if it was resolved by force, Wu Peifu's reputation would plummet; if it was resolved peacefully, the People's Party would have a certain say in the Hankou Railway Federation of Trade Unions. With power, it can drag down the direct financial strength and frustrate Wu's plan to expand the army.
So don’t say that Zhang Hanqing can’t interfere with Wu Peifu now. Even if he could, he wouldn’t do it.
Not only that, he also wished that the strike lasted as long as possible and the momentum was as loud as possible. It would be best to leave Wu Peifu poor and frustrated, so that he would not have to fight, but he himself would be in chaos first.
After all, Yu Yifan’s understanding of the overall situation is really right because he has been nurtured for a long time, but Zhang Hanqing will not admit it. He first listed some of the current difficulties of the Feng Faction, mainly from a military perspective - it was good to fool Yu Yifan like this.
"Wu Peifu will not listen to our words." He said to Yifan.
"Tch! You think I don't know? You must be planning the best time for you again!" Yu Yifan exposed him mercilessly: "You told me that politicians are the filthiest. .”
Did I say that? Zhang Hanqing blamed himself very much. He seemed to have said that, but it was just a joke with her. As a qualified politician, how can he slap himself?
"Hey, Xiaofan, how can you say that about your little uncle?" Zhang Hanqing looked hurt.
Yu Yifan saw through his trick at a glance, and still said angrily: "Did I say something wrong? Don't think that I don't know anything just because I go to school! I know that now in Beijing, you can make smoke even if you breathe! If uncle comes forward, I don’t believe Wu Peifu dares to kill anyone again? How dare he not listen to what you say? "
Zhang Hanqing smiled bitterly and said: "Yifan, I just want to ask you one thing, what is your uncle's position? What is my position? What is Wu Peifu's position?"
Yu Yifan's uncle is naturally Zhang Zuolin. His current official position is patrol envoy to the three eastern provinces and economic envoy to Mongolian Xinjiang, and also controls Rehe, Suiyuan, Chahar, and Xing'an. He calls himself the Northeast Autonomous Government | Chairman and Commander-in-Chief of the Fengjun Army.
Zhang Hanqing originally had the official position of patrol envoy to Shaanxi and Gansu and governor of Gansu, but he gave it up and only had the self-proclaimed title of Commander-in-Chief of the People's Army.
On the surface, Wu Peifu is the deputy envoy of Zhili, Lu and Yu, but he is the leader of the Zhili army.
Although the Feng Faction has a large number of people, Wu Peifu has a certain amount of power. He is still a big boss who can compete with the Feng Faction. In theory, only the President of the Republic of China has the power to impose orders on him.
"It may not be that our strength is greater than that of the Zhili Clan, but because we occupy so much territory, the army has to be divided and stationed in various places. There are not many troops that can really be used to fight. Instead, the Zhili Clan is united, and it is very difficult for a while. Defeat them from the outside. At least for now, we cannot afford to organize a large-scale campaign.
The reason why Wu Peifu did not dare to fight with the People's Army in Hubei was because they were not unified in their internal opinions, and we were on the offensive and had strong military strength.
It’s different now: four of our divisions are in south China and four divisions are in northwest China. Due to the inconvenience of transportation, for a while, we were not able to provide enough help to central China.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????”
"There are currently only three divisions of the Fengjun outside the Pass. They are already unable to protect important industrial bases such as Tianjin, Tangshan, and Qinhuangdao. How can we compete with them?" The Fengjun in Guan Nei were on guard against the Japanese and would not dare to leave easily. In this way, we are actually at a disadvantage.
?????????????????????????????????????????????… In fact, this is what people often say, "A man with a stick fights a wolf, and both sides are afraid." Now, it is a stage where the two parties are generally at peace with each other. At least, it is inconvenient for me to take the lead.
In fact, both of us are waiting for changes in the current situation and for the opportunity that is most beneficial to us. "
Having said this, Yu Yifan understood a little bit, I bet my uncle is still in danger? At this time, she no longer bothered to blame Zhang Hanqing for not being able to stand out. She was more concerned about whether he would be in danger in Beijing if Zhili suddenly turned against him?
Zhang Hanqing smiled, this is no problem.
It was originally agreed that the main forces of the Zhili and Fengtian armies would not enter Beijing. One would be in Beiyuan and the other in Nanyuan. Both sides would only station some paramilitary troops to maintain order.
Of course, there is a security group outside the Marshal's house.A brigade of Jin Chun's 28th Division also controls the Beijing Station of the Beijing-Shenyang Line that retreats to the outside of the pass. Even if it is to escape, it is still in time. Besides, Wang Chengbin is still very fair as the commander of the capital garrison.
There was no need to tell her this, but she swore to Yu Yifan: "Once something happens, I will arrange for you to leave as soon as possible. As for me, the responsibility of a soldier is to protect the home and the country, and I will not quit watching easily." As a symbol of Beijing, I will help you leave safely!"
Yu Yifan had forgotten the purpose of her coming. She said movedly: "You know, I will not leave you and run away." She smiled again: "Besides, as long as you are here, they will not stare at you." I won’t let you go, I’m not a big shot anymore, your life is still important!”
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? is a topic in a world. Yu Yifan talked about some gossip in Beijing, some of which Zhang Hanqing was very interested in: There were rumors that Emperor Puyi was inhumane after his wedding, and that Queen Wanrong learned to ride a bicycle. Thinking of the graceful beauty he saw at that time, every time he heard it, it would cause ripples in his heart.
He has been in Beijing for a long time. Except for the occasional trip to Shenyang to visit his family, he basically spends most of his time in Beijing and Tianjin. The development of automobile factories and tank factories, as well as the vitality of Tianjin's industry, finally gave him some spiritual comfort. Otherwise, the empty nightlife would be enough to drive him crazy.
Yu Fengzhi fell ill, and it was Huang Wanqing who accompanied him in Shen. However, because of Yu Fengzhi's illness, it was difficult for Huang Wanqing to go to Beijing to accompany him. You must know that with the passage of time and Huang Wanqing's low-key behavior, Yu Fengzhi gradually developed a liking for her. Huang Wanqing also entered the Marshal's Mansion many times by visiting patients. The two ladies agreed on many things, which also made Yu Fengzhi very defensive.
It is estimated that as long as Huang Wanqing recovers from her illness, she will have a good chance of entering the handsome manor. Although Huang Wanqing didn't say anything, Zhang Hanqing knew that she still wanted to have a formal title.
At this time, Huang Wanqing neither knew nor could bear to irritate Yu Fengzhi, so when Zhang Hanqing asked her to go to the "General's Mansion" in Beijing to accompany him, Huang Wanqing politely said no under him, dooming the Young Marshal to continue the night. The pain of sleeping alone at night. In retaliation, Zhang Hanqing could only express his dissatisfaction by whipping him vigorously every time.
The young and vigorous Zhang Hanqing needed to find something to do to divert him from the reaction caused by the secretion of hormones, so he became more diligent in military training outside the customs, military industry inspections and economic rectification. However, Yu Yifan intervened again and again, each time arousing his restless mind. The key is that he still has many desires that need to be satisfied, whether physical or psychological.
Yu Yifan is untouchable. This is because he really can't face Yu Aozhou, who was originally his uncle and brother-in-law, and suddenly became his father-in-law. He can't accept it psychologically - he still has the tradition of future generations. The impact is on. Otherwise, ten Yu Yifan would also be pushed down.
Gu Ruiyu has not graduated yet. Although she is her "financier", no matter what degree she has, it will not affect her future career development and life. But when I think about the value of diplomas in this era, especially how difficult it is for women to get one, I always feel a bit cruel to interrupt her academic progress due to selfish desires. He is not shameless enough to be like some wealthy men in later generations who kept female college students. .
For women, he always silently implements a famous saying: "If you can't put her in a wedding dress with your own hands, then stop taking off her clothes." Huang Wanqing became Mrs. Ru for herself, but she was never officially recognized by the Zhang family. Although the Huang family later became prosperous again under his intervention, no matter how glorious the building was, it could only be regarded as her own foreign residence in Shenyang.
He didn’t want his woman to have such regrets, so he couldn’t sleep every night.
Fortunately, he has a group of intellectuals to relieve his boredom. Since the advent of the "new wine in old bottles" theory, there has been a heated discussion, especially in the petty bourgeoisie circles. The cultural circles began to form polarization on whether to completely overthrow the old culture: Lu Xun, who was later favored by the Communists, was determined to completely overthrow it. At this time, he was writing "Diary of a Madman" and his novel collection "The Scream" would soon be released. published later;
However, other leaders of the new culture were full of contradictions in their thoughts and actions. For example, Hu Shi once taught his son not to take "loyalty and filial piety" as the creed of life, but on the other hand, he obeyed his mother's orders and spent his whole life with Jiang Dongxiu, a rural woman arranged by his mother. , which puzzles many colleagues who advocate new trends of thought and advocate free love.
Chen Duxiu once slapped the table and said to Hu Shi: "If you want to recognize me as a friend, you will divorce your wife today. You can tolerate such an ugly wife, such a wife with such small feet, no culture and no ideas, which proves that you You are not my friend, you are my friend, divorce her immediately!"
Hu Shi said: "Actually, my current marriage has not brought any disadvantages to me, and it is also very good."
The cultural elite of the People's Party who were influenced by Zhang Hanqing are also using dialectical thinking to demand a complete transformation of the old culture, but not a total overthrow. However, both sides finally have a common language on whether to fully accept Westernization - China can redeem itself.
Although the two sides have huge differences, it does not affect the calm communication between them - although the young marshal has his own opinions, he does not impose his ideas on others because of his status. What else can others say?

Not only that, they also very much welcomed Zhang Hanqing to join their party. Although their opinions may be different, Zhang Hanqing's witty words and wise thoughts from time to time were still of great benefit to them.
With repeated interactions, Zhang Hanqing became familiar with this circle, and his admiration for Lin Huiyin began to change from book admiration to real-life appreciation.
??And Lin Huiyin also grew from rejection of Zhang Hanqing at the beginning to sincere appreciation, and then to worship. Not to mention his political influence and military achievements, he had enough capital to dominate the literary world in terms of poetry alone.
What’s more, he is personable, has witty words, and shines with wisdom.
A woman’s admiration for a man will inevitably have fluctuations. As a father, Lin Changmin was the first to notice the strangeness.
"Huiyin, I heard that you are dating the young marshal of the Feng Department very frequently now?"
Currently, Lin Huiyin can only go by "Lin Huiyin". This name will not be changed until eight years later when she publishes her poems under it for the first time. Fortunately, the homophony of the two words does not affect the character's positioning.
Knowing that what he said was true, although Lin Huiyin was full of knowledge, he could only deny it at this time: "My daughter opened a cultural salon with Mr. Hu Shi and the others. The young marshal insisted on getting involved, and Mr. Hu and the others seemed to be interested in him. You are welcome to join us. In such an open communication environment, there is no need to talk about socializing."
She thought for a moment and added: "Will it affect other people's views of my father because of that young marshal?"
Zhifeng was fighting for hegemony and the Anhui clique was in decline. As a consistent old general of the Anhui clique, Lin Changmin "connived" his daughter to get close to the young marshal. It was inevitable that some people would think it was a betrayal or a change of position. This was Lin Huiyin's superficial understanding.
The revolutionary life of the Lin family: Her cousin Lin Juemin is one of the seventy-two martyrs of Huanghuagang. Her father has been working for the country's diplomatic career for more than ten years, and his integrity is unquestionable.
“Actually, no one is still clinging to the thigh of the Anhui system, after all, the flesh is gone. Besides, Lin Changmin is not a die-hard Anhui clique. If he really wants to join another family, others won't say anything.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There is almost no one in the government who doesn’t want to be close to Zhifeng, let alone someone at the level of a young marshal, who can’t even be caught up with others.
"I'm not against your normal interactions - I've never let you get involved in adults' political struggles. But you must know that the young marshal is a man with two families! Lian Zhimo I can't accept such a person, let alone him? So you have to control yourself."
No matter what, Feng Xiu is still one of the forces that can influence the overall situation in the Beiyang government. If he wants to do something, it is definitely not appropriate to completely offend the young marshal. This is his understanding of the current situation. But he would not trade his daughter for such an opportunity.
Zhang Hanqing had one wife and one concubine, which was not unusual in the Republic of China. Lin Changmin himself had married two wives. Of course, the difference is that Lin Huiyin's biological mother, his ex-wife, died early, and his other children were all born by Xu Xian.
Lin Changmin is a person who has received modern education and has been exposed to the Western world for a long time. He has a rather modern view on marriage and family. Although Xu Zhimo was one of his favorite disciples, he never agreed to his pursuit of Lin Huiyin because he "stopped marrying and wanted to marry again." As for Zhang Hanqing, it is even more impossible.
Xu Zhimo’s reputation has been mostly ruined. If it weren't for the fame of his mentor Liang Qichao, he would have almost seceded from the cultural circle.
And Zhang Hanqing is a young marshal. Although he does not have the reputation of a scholar, he will have a greater influence on politics. Divorce is definitely not allowed.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Don’t even think about it. Yu Fengzhi is the head of Dashuai's mansion and Zhang Dashuai's most beloved and trusted daughter-in-law. Her natal family has become one with the Feng family. Her brother is the most powerful person in the People's Party. She is also very popular in the Northeast. Influential.
Besides, their relationship is still very good. And Zhang Hanqing is not that stupid to give up the entire garden for a single flower!
Huang Wanqing's influence is much smaller. In this era, people don't pay much attention to concubines, so it doesn't matter. As long as Lin Huiyin is small, he will not be able to do this kind of thing even if he is beaten to death.
Although Zhang Hanqing is powerful, the backbone of a scholar is even stronger!
Lin Huiyin nodded. From this moment on, this talented woman of the Republic of China was destined to have no chance with the extraordinary man of the Republic of China. Any progress they had made was strangled in the cradle.
Although Lin Changmin has never taught himself with the dignity of a father, he has always believed that "being the father of a genius daughter is not an easy blessing. You have to lower your family hierarchy and seek to understand friendship first."
But that’s the only wayWith the approval of the parliament, the birthday of Confucius was regarded as Teachers' Day in the Fengcian territory, and later became a statutory holiday for teachers in the Republic of China This invisibly consolidated the status of traditional culture.
This is why Zhang Hanqing promotes his idea of ??"critically inheriting traditional culture" all the time - instead of spending great efforts to build and promote "Confucius Institutes" from scratch in later generations, why can't they be well preserved from the beginning? Where is this legacy?
In his mind, university education should be the same as his good impression of Lin Huiyin: because he retains this regretful beauty, he can tolerate her shortcomings, her uninhibitedness, and her frankness, and make her full of vitality and opportunities for self-development. She freely displays her vitality, and thus is the one she is truly loved. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 590 The Beauty of a Gentleman’s Adulthood
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
"The young marshal's poems are all excellent, unparalleled in the past five hundred years. How dare I try to do the same thing?"
This was an invitation sent by Zhang Hanqing when he wanted to recite poems with Lin Huiyin. As long as she agrees, there will be no empty seats at the Marshal Feng's Mansion in Beijing. But the latter simply rejected him and used the method of flattery to kill him.
Maybe he felt that it was inappropriate to continue to be with Zhang Hanqing. Gradually, Lin Huiyin’s salon stopped inviting him. Not only that, she also invited many people to shout to Zhang Hanqing from a distance, such as her future husband Liang Qichao.
It turns out that Zhang Hanqing and Liang Qichao had no intersection, and they were not the same people. However, the other party was once regarded as a mentor by Cai E, and he himself had a good relationship with Cai E. Now, when studying the history of the People's Party, he cannot be ignored.
“Of course, it’s not just Zhang Hanqing who has thoughts about Lin Huiyin, but also Xu Zhimo and many other men who keep it well in their hearts.
"This kind of thing is actually tacitly understood by each other, and no one is stupid. Love between a man and a woman is a normal reaction at this age. Not to mention Zhang Hanqing, are there not many people here who have a crush on Lin Huiyin? There are so many salons in Beijing, otherwise why do you think everyone likes this one with Lin Huiyin?
However, in terms of seniority and age, there are only two people who can have a story with Lin Huiyin, Zhang Hanqing and Xu Zhimo. The others were either more reserved or not as bold and thick-faced as the first two - after all, Lin Huiyin was Liang Qichao's appointed daughter-in-law, and both parents liked her.
In view of Zhang Hanqing’s status, Liang Qichao, a veteran, still gave him kind words of comfort. He had an indirect relationship with Zhang Hanqing since Cai E, and they seemed to have similar interests. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to admit such an important political figure into their group. Birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together.
But we still have to persuade the young marshal to stop, because his influence is too great: as long as he reveals this kind of thinking, the pressure from all aspects will put the Liang and Lin families at risk of being annihilated. Although as far as he knew, Zhang Hanqing would not use his own power to do such a thing, but his dignity must always be taken into consideration, otherwise if it was reported that the leader of the People's Party, the commander-in-chief of the People's Army, and the successor of the Fengxi faction, the young marshal was pursuing Lin Huiyin returned home in vain. This was so shameless!
Because of the temperament of young people - considering that Zhang Hanqing is only twenty-two years old, it is best for him to leave no trace of marriage. With Liang Qichao's ability to understand people, Zhang Hanqing will sooner or later represent the Feng clan and become the helmsman of the political arena of the Republic of China. Some methods are needed to allow his children to get along with him without any grudges.
This kind of thing must be nipped in the bud! It is definitely better to let him retreat when faced with difficulties than to run away after losing face.
As for Xu Zhimo, this philandering guy also wants to compete with his son for his promising future daughter-in-law? I can't even slap him to death!
The Beijing-Hankow Railway strike is getting more and more violent, and many people have been imprisoned in Beijing and Henan. Wu Peifu seems to be getting more angry, and his methods are becoming more and more bloody.
He originally had a good reputation among the public, but the reason why he dealt with this matter so angrily was because he was pushed into a hurry.
The Beijing-Hankow Railway and the Jinpu Line are the two lifelines on which the direct line relies for survival. Now it has lost one leg. The people behind the scenes are self-evident - they have set up a strike headquarters in Hankou!
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of nowhere, he was facing pressure from the north and south of the People's Army and the Feng Clan. Whether in the central government or among the people, whether in terms of strength or reputation, the Zhili clique was not favored. If this matter continues to fail to be resolved, not only will Britain and the United States question Zhi's ability to control the situation, but more and more people will begin to laugh at his jokes, and people who flirt with Feng will also begin to surge.
The domino effect is what it means.
The anxious Wu Peifu even wanted to take the risk of starting a war in advance: rather than being dragged down by the Feng faction and being dragged to death, it was better to fight hard. If this stalemate continues, there will be only one loser: Zhili.
The Feng Clan has a large territory, a large population, abundant resources, and strong finances. The key is that its industrial strength is constantly growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Naturally, its military strength is ebbing and flowing. If we don't fight, after two years, there will be no need to fight again. We will directly control ourselves. will fall apart.
People of insight in the immediate area also discovered this problem, and He and Luo started shouting. During this period, this matter was mostly discussed in the salon, and naturally some people directed the topic to Zhang Hanqing. One day, Liang Qichao attended in person and took this opportunity to express his emotion and compose a poem:
"When will we see clarification?
People's livelihood is difficult?
The tree head bears lovesickness seeds,
But when Lang Xing misses his concubine? "
He looked at Zhang Hanqing: "The fate of thousands of people rests on the young marshal."?. But thinking that if he gave up this time, he might lose an opportunity forever, he felt disappointed.
"In this life, if you want to wake up and take over the world, and lie drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman, the first one is easy, but the second one is difficult.
If you no longer have the motivation to pursue Lin Huiyin, why would you still participate in this salon? When he said goodbye to the Liang family and returned to Shenyang to discuss the current situation with the senior officials of the Fengcun, Zhang Hanqing suddenly felt sad when he saw Lin Huiyin smiling, politely and persistently saying farewell to everyone one by one.
He looked at Lin Huiyin and Xu Zhimo, and couldn't help but whisper: "Miss Lin, Xueliang has just conceived a poem, so I will give it to you before leaving, as a souvenir."
The young marshal's poem was so amazing that some people who had already said goodbye gathered around after hearing the sound.
Zhang Hanqing chuckled and said: "My father is learning Japanese now when he has free time. Xueliang is lucky enough to learn a few sentences. The Japanese word for saying goodbye is called 'sayangnara', so I used this word to compose a poem to say goodbye to Miss Lin." That’s what I meant.”
"The most important thing is the gentleness of bowing your head,
Like a water lotus that is shy in the cool breeze,
"Take care,"
"Take care,"
There is sweet sadness in that sound of cherish——
Sayanara! "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 591 Worry

??When great people appear, they are destined to be different. Although it is a farewell to a past relationship, it is heart-warming to hear. Lin Huiyin didn't know what to think, but Xu Zhimo was stunned: This, this, this is too awesome! It's easy to say, the key is, the poem is so good, it just expresses my heart!
As a delight in the literary world, the song "Shayanala" was immediately published in various publications and even had a long poetry review. I don't know which good person actually added a short but meaningful line of notes after the poem's title: "Gift to Lin Huiyin."
Sometimes the truth cannot be told and the impact must be considered. Lin Huiyin was already very famous, but now she has become even more famous because of this poem by Zhang Hanqing - a woman who was admired by the romantic young marshal and even wrote poems for her!
It is impossible for the pleasures of the literary world not to be talked about by the neighbors, and it is difficult to guarantee that every move of a famous figure will be watched. Even the news that Emperor Puyi of the Qing Dynasty was inhumane could be obtained, not to mention that it had been widely publicized?
The administrative department was the quickest to spread the news about these things. Yu Yifan, who learned about this, couldn't hold it back. He smiled and said to Zhang Hanqing in the evening: "My uncle's literary talent is very good. He blurts it out. Now the song "Shayannara" ” has been sung everywhere.”
Zhang Hanqing expressed modesty: "It's just a joke, it can't be taken seriously."
Yu Yifan tilted his head and looked at him: "Write a poem for me when you have time."
????????????????????????????? This request is a headache. What do you think poetry is? Although it is all plagiarized, it is still sentimental after seeing the scene. Writing poems for no reason was not his style. He couldn't think of any thoughtful poems at the moment, and he wasn't really a poet.
He smiled and said: "When inspiration comes one day in the future, I will compose a song for you."
But Yu Yifan refused: "No, you can compose poems on the spur of the moment, but you have no inspiration for me. What's this other than bullying? I don't care what you do, you will make me an equally good one in the next two days. Otherwise, I will show this poem to my aunt! She has better literary skills than me, and maybe she can help you come up with some ideas."
Damn it, if you don’t open the pot and pick it up, in normal times, this would be an elegant thing in the literary world; but now that Yu Fengzhi is ill, if you knew that he was actually spending time outside reciting poems and composing poems with beautiful girls, you would be so angry that you wouldn’t die Strange! In addition to the ghost spirit Yu Yifan, if you describe him in an exaggerated and jealous way, he will have yellow mud stuck to his crotch, which is either shit or shit.
It’s not that he’s afraid of her, but he loves Fengzhi.
Zhang Hanqing raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, I promise you, I will make a song for you when I have time." It's not that he doesn't know Yu Yifan's temperament, it's a typical gust of wind, all about coaxing. Just coax it. If it were true, she would find ways to make you regret it endlessly.
Yu Yifan nodded and made a gentle gesture: "Well, also write a song about me describing my gentleness. It shouldn't be too long, but it shouldn't be too short either."
Zhang Hanqing felt a chill and was afraid that she would come up with another idea, so he hurriedly said: "I will go behind closed doors to find inspiration first." Then he ran away, leaving Yu Yifan there and said resentfully: "I don't believe you will still dare to write randomly in the future. Love songs for other women!”
How could Zhang Hanqing not know about Yu Yifan’s thoughts? After all, he was not Chu Ge, but he couldn't figure out the complicated relationship that he couldn't talk about, so he could only escape again and again. Unexpectedly, in the old society, it was not unacceptable for sisters to marry easily, and aunts and nephews to marry together. On the contrary, it was modern human ethics. Brother-in-law having sex with his aunt will be frowned upon by society.
After failing to catch the weasel and making a fool of himself, Zhang Hanqing never provoked Lin Huiyin again. This made Liang Qichao highly praised, and he secretly gave a thumbs up in private: "Being consistent with what he says is still the behavior of an upright husband." Only Zhang Hanqing was there. In the following days, I felt lost and often gave myself a big middle finger.
The front-footed son made a splash with "Sayanara", and soon after I became famous with "Sayounala".
It turns out that after Zhili and Fengcheng jointly took charge of Beijing, the Japanese stepped up their efforts to win over Zhang Zuolin. They had a big banquet every five days and a small banquet every three days, which made Lao Zhang miserable. However, he must participate in due social interactions, and Lao Zhang cannot just take advantage of others, sometimes he also needs to spend money.
In order to express his "goodwill" to the Japanese, Lao Zhang also learned a few Japanese sentences in his spare time, preparing to surprise the guests unexpectedly. For the Japanese, it is great that Zhang Zuolin shows this attitude of "China-Japan goodwill".
Once, Zhang Zuolin invited a Japanese general to dinner. When shaking hands, he repeatedly said: "Sayounala! Sayounala!" The general felt baffled and almost walked away. After the translation and explanation, I realized that it was a misunderstanding and that I had said "Aligado" incorrectly.
After three rounds of drinking, the adjutant accidentally dripped vegetable soup on the Japanese general when he was serving the food. Zhang Zuolin cursed the adjutant: "Aligado! AligaJust do it without telling her.
Yu Yifan gently rubbed his groggy head. Zhang Hanqing resisted this slightly intimate gesture at first, but then Yu Yifan insisted, so he didn't insist anymore, and later he enjoyed this rare experience. of relaxation. Yu Yifan massaged him quietly, thinking in his mind: "You are such a smart person, how come you don't understand my thoughts?"
How come Zhang Hanqing doesn’t understand her thoughts? Smelling the refreshing fragrance that came from her body from time to time, he was already beating the war drum in his heart. Perhaps only on this occasion, his memory was particularly sharp. The moment before sleepiness came to his mind, he still remembered: Didn't that Mangke write a song called "Mind Affairs"?
"Even if you put on the clothes of heaven,
“I want to unbutton those stars too.”

Chapter 592 A beautiful misunderstanding
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
In Zhang Hanqing's mind, Sheng Aiyi and Lin Huiyin flashed through his mind. Both of them were masters who could be met but not sought, seen from a distance but not played with. He also thought of Yu Fengzhi, Huang Wanqing, Red Peony, and even The appearance of "company commander" also appeared. These women who have had physical contact with him all have different tastes.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t touched a woman for many days, and I see the beauty I like every day, so it’s inevitable that I have some thoughts, which is not surprising at all. People don't waste their youth in being romantic. In his original body, he was a famous romantic young marshal in history. Lying on the chair with your eyes closed, enjoying the beautiful woman's delicate hands and smelling the pleasant fragrance, it would be fake if you are not intoxicated.
Yu Yifan gently pressed Zhang Hanqing's head with full heart, looking at his handsome face that was slightly thin due to exhaustion. All poetry is just a pretense, right? I just want you to pay attention to my feelings! I know that your exhaustion is not because you are worried about writing poems for me, but I can't bear to give up my kindness to you.
Zhang Hanqing was already snoring lightly. He must be exhausted from running around these days, right?
Because the tank force was also established, for its secrecy and to deal with the all-pervasive Japanese spies, Zhang Hanqing set up military restricted areas in the vast Pingquan and Kuancheng areas to test the performance of the tanks and make necessary improvements, and praised some of them Senior and middle-ranking officers from various military academies who adhere to the concept of mobile warfare are transferred here to conduct combat drills in preparation for filling up the large army in the future.
“In addition, the scale of Tianjin Automobile Factory has been expanded. Even so, it is still far from meeting the needs of society. Zhang Hanqing decisively decided to expand on a larger scale. Tianjin Automobile Group accepted a loan totaling 500 million from Northeast Industrial Bank and used it as equity capital to introduce two truck production lines to the United States again.
Zhang Hanqing decided to provide more vehicles to the society to promote the development of the local transportation industry after first meeting the needs of various artillery regiments for tractor trucks.
It is still too far from Beijing-Tianjin to Shenyang, even if there is a direct Beijing-Shenyang line. The range of airplanes is still very close now, but that doesn’t mean we don’t need to give up our efforts in this area. Not only that, China is rarely on the same level as foreign countries in the aviation field. It is necessary to use private power to promote China's air transportation. The route from Shenyang to Beijing and Tianjin and the airports in the three places need to be put on the agenda.
There was also the Beijing-Hankou Railway strike. Although Wu Peifu's counterattack was taken into account, and it caused a little trouble for him, he decisively resumed work amidst the criticism of thousands of people. On the surface, the union was intimidated by Wu Peifu's toughness and surrendered, but Lao Wu knew that due to domestic and foreign pressure, his idea of ??cutting workers' benefits to achieve cost savings and turn them into military expenditures was basically shattered.
Of course, the railway union’s desire to enjoy benefits like workers under the clique government has not been realized. However, once this thorn is planted, it will sprout sooner or later
So these days, Zhang Hanqing has been traveling around Beijing, Tianjin, Tangshan, and Qinhuangdao non-stop. Even if he occasionally returns to the handsome manor, he is basically busy until midnight. Even if he had some free time, he would still go to Lin Huiyin's place to have his massage done, which made Yu Yifan extremely distressed.
If she knew what Zhang Hanqing was thinking at this moment, she would probably give him a slap in the face to wake him up.
Now Zhang Hanqing has entered the highest state of obscenity. In his dream, he recalled every detail of his interaction with the "Company Commander". It seemed that the charming and charming little girl who made people happy and heart-warming was back by his side, and the way she took everything was intoxicating. Ever since, he grabbed her catkins and kept stroking them.
Yu Yifan stared dumbfoundedly as he hugged his hand with an intoxicated look on his face, then climbed up the arm in an unruly manner, and subconsciously stepped back. It's just funny to see him still sleepy——I'm afraid he only dares to be unruly to himself in his dreams, right?
Why is he so bold all of a sudden? She could tease him before, but when he took the initiative, she didn't dare to challenge him.
Zhang Hanqing was not worried that he had failed. What was supposed to come would definitely come. The "Company Commander" was not a good person either. He was just playing hard to get.
As expected, after a while, the hands were entangled again.
I’ve caught you! Zhang Hanqing grabbed her and refused to let go, and then moved closer to her shoulders irregularly.
Yu Yifan was frightened again. Of course, she could never imagine that she was now the replacement of the "Company Commander".
What's going on? Seeing the malicious smile on Zhang Hanqing's lips, Yu Yifan became a little angry. This bad guy must have done bad things in his dream!
Because of a similar smile, she had seen it when he looked at Gu Ruiyu's back. At that time, Gu Ruiyu was wearing tight pants, fully exposing her naked buttocks.
Later, I even said it privatelyinstinctive reaction. If he hadn't thought of family factors almost reflexively, it's anyone's guess whether he would have just gone with the flow.
But how to end it now is quite difficult to figure out: if he pretends to fall out, I'm afraid this little uncle will never have any "unruly" thoughts towards me from now on - I won't seduce him in turn, right? This is not only unwilling, but also not my original intention; but if I don't express it, will I be looked down upon by him?
Young girls always have to be more dignified. Auntie and Miss Huang both know that they are dignified people at first glance. Maybe my uncle likes this, right?
“I don’t know what to do, but fortunately she has a powerful weapon that every woman has—crying. It's always appropriate to cry when you've been frivolous, right? And when he thought of his uncle's seemingly close but distant intimacy, the uncertain future of the relationship, and the strange thoughts of his family members, Yu Yifan felt really sad, and tears spilled out like broken pearls.

Chapter 593 Breaking a good thing

Although he hasn’t figured out how to do it yet, as a man, Zhang Hanqing feels that he needs to step forward. In any case, seeing Yu Yifan shed tears with her aura and cheerful nature, the little things she had hidden in her heart came to her mind.
Since this is his bedroom, as long as Yu Yifan doesn't tell anyone, outsiders won't know what he has done.
Just coax her.
Fortunately, the early spring has not yet arrived, and the thick cotton clothes completely covered his lower body. If the clothes were thin, he might have to sit on the recliner and talk to her from a distance. He stood up and walked over awkwardly, and carefully put his arm on Yu Yifan's arm. He had a thousand words to say and didn't know where to start. He could only say softly: "Don't cry, okay? - Uncle didn't mean it." "
Yu Yifan shrugged his shoulders, feeling very sad. Zhang Hanqing felt pity. He has been paying attention to Yu Yifan's growth since he was a little girl. Yu Yifan has always had a cheerful temperament. Even if she doesn't get what she wants, as long as she is coaxed appropriately, she will suddenly burst into laughter at some point, making people laugh.
He stretched out his hand to take her hand, and when his fingertips touched it, Yu Yifan trembled slightly, but did not refuse. So he pulled her with confidence, held her waist in his arms, and humbly wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, so he just held her quietly.
Yu Yifan felt that the atmosphere was a bit ambiguous and reached out to push him away: "Bad guy," she said with tears.
The door of the room suddenly opened wide, and a tall and beautiful woman emerged. The rocking chair that was still rocking, Yu Yifan who was crying behind her back, and the groveling young marshal who was facing him seemed to be telling her something silently.
It was probably the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she couldn't say anything for a moment. She just stood at the door in a daze, looking at the two of them with wide eyes.
The person who came was Gu Ruiyu.
With her tacit relationship with the young marshal, she can come and go freely in the marshal’s palace in Beijing, and she can step into Zhang Hanqing’s bedroom at will to wake him up to see the red leaves, snow, ice buds, and everything she wants to see with him. Only this time, it seemed to come at an unfortunate time.
She and Yu Yifan are also familiar with each other, and their relationship has always been harmonious. They also seem to have the same tacit understanding of their relationship with Zhang Hanqing. She also likes the outspoken and "heartless" Yu Yifan, and this is the first time she has seen her cry.
"Sister Yifan, is the young marshal bullying you?" Because she is a Chinese-Russian mixed race, although she is much more promiscuous and taller than Yu Yifan, she is still younger than Yu Yifan in terms of age. When she is 20 years old, she is usually called "sister".
?????????????????????????? There is something wrong with this sentence. Thinking that this is Zhang Hanqing's bedroom, this sentence "bully" implies countless topics. Yu Yifan seemed to have been exposed, so he broke away from his arms and ran away, confirming Zhang Hanqing's image as a villain.
Gu Ruiyu looked at Zhang Hanqing with a half-smile, making him sweat! He looked at the malicious Gu Ruiyu and said guiltily: "What nonsense are you talking about?" But he was thinking in his heart: "If she was really bullied by me, could she still run so coolly?"
His performance further confirmed Gu Ruiyu's imagination. Gu Ruiyu suddenly stopped talking and looked at Zhang Hanqing resentfully. His eyes were as clear as Yu Yifan's, but his expression was different from normal, making people unpredictable.
Zhang Hanqing cursed himself secretly: "There is nothing wrong, why are you feeling guilty first?" Gu Ruiyu has already established a relationship with him, and he has to take care of her feelings. He forced a smile and said, "I have nothing to do with Yifan, so don't make blind guesses."
Can you not make blind guesses?
Gu Ruiyu looked into Zhang Hanqing's eyes: "There must be something going on between you and her. Sister Yifan is usually very strong." She lowered her voice and said, "Did you bully her just now?"
This "bullying" has a broader meaning and is no longer something Zhang Hanqing can bear. If he had really done something, that would be fine. The key point is that he didn't. He couldn't bear this bad reputation for no reason. "How is that possible? Don't talk nonsense!" He said "righteously".
Gu Ruiyu suddenly let out a soft "poof" and said with a smile: "If you bully me, you will bully me. Sister Yifan will not blame you. I know what she is thinking. It's just that it's not good if you don't admit it. It's OK for a man to be romantic." , but you can't just eat and drink and refuse to admit it." After staying with Yu Yifan for a long time, she has learned some habits unconsciously. The look she just had just now is what Yu Yifan usually has.
Zhang Hanqing touched her nose and smiled bitterly, was she so unbearable in her heart? In the blink of an eye, when he saw Gu Ruiyu covering her mouth and snickering, he knew that he had been fooled. "How dare you play tricks on me!" He rushed over and tried to tear her mouth apart.
Gu Ruiyu smiled and raised her hands repeatedly to beg for mercy. She and Zhang Hanqing were used to fighting. I don’t know how many times they had experienced this scene., this is what Zhang Hanqing likes: neither Yu Fengzhi nor Huang Wanqing has such a chance. Yu Fengzhi protects him as an eldest sister; Huang Wanqing has always been obedient to him with the mentality of a little bird, so that He didn't even have a chance to fight.
Only by being with Yu Yifan and Gu Ruiyu can he regain the confused mentality that young people often have. The difference is that Yu Yifan took the initiative to provoke him, while he took the initiative to tease Gu Ruiyu.
Since she disrupted the good things between him and Yu Yifan, she should take her place!
Zhang Hanqing grabbed her hand with murderous intent and tried to spank her. Gu Ruiyu smiled and struggled back, but accidentally tripped over the edge of the bed. Zhang Hanqing arrived and used his hand to squeeze her waist, but Gu Ruiyu had no choice but to lean over the bed.
Her waist is her Achilles heel. With just a slight poke, the plump and tall girl will immediately shrink into a ball like a rice dumpling. Zhang Hanqing likes to play this game the most.
This time, Gu Ruiyu returned to his old place and fell on the bed, doing whatever he wanted. There is some flesh on her waist, perhaps because of her Russian ancestry. She is tall and strong, so the flesh on her body appears to be very flexible. It is very elastic when held in the hand, making people want to see more of her. The elastic part.
With his hands up and down, Gu Ruiyu couldn't resist, and could only helplessly resist Zhang Hanqing who was getting closer and closer, struggling in vain and grabbing randomly. Suddenly, both of them stiffened.
Zhang Hanqing was stiff because his harder part was inadvertently grasped by her hand; and Gu Ruiyu was stiff because she had grasped something stiff, although she could still vaguely feel it through Zhang Hanqing's thick cotton pants. Trembling. Because of Zhang Hanqing's momentary pause, no matter how young she looked, she understood that she had accidentally grabbed something she shouldn't have touched.
No matter from which angle, the two of them maintained a very inelegant posture.
The two of them froze there, Gu Ruiyu blushed instantly, and she quickly retracted her hand. If you want to hide your face, you feel that it is too obvious. If you don't cover up the scene, it will be embarrassing. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 594 Release
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing thought a lot in that moment. Things have happened, and we certainly can’t pretend that they didn’t happen. If something is not done, it will be difficult for Gu Ruiyu to meet him in the future. After all, she is a traditional girl of this era, and this embarrassing scene will always stand between the two.
How does it end now? How to face it when we meet again? Instead of trying to figure it out in the future, it's better to make a decision now. Maybe this will leave a shadow on her: why did it expand so violently? hehe!
????????????????????????? The relationship between men and women has basically been clearly defined, and it’s already reached this point, so let’s just make it work! As long as the relationship between men and women goes further, this matter will not be a problem, or it will be a good thing. The anger that was aroused by Yu Yifan just now rose again. If Yu Yifan is let go, someone must take his place, right?
Besides, he also wants to tame this ocean horse!
Having made a decision, he became bold and bullied him, hugged the huddled Gu Ruiyu, and climbed on top of her. Gu Ruiyu hadn't recovered from the scene just now, and didn't react at all to his smooth movements. It wasn't until Zhang Hanqing leaned down to kiss her that she started to panic.
The young marshal is young and has a charming aura. There are countless passionate girls who like him, and Gu Ruiyu is one of them.
Since her meeting with Zhang Hanqing in the ballroom, she often went in and out of Zhang Hanqing's mansion and used various opportunities to get into his eyes. Once upon a time, she had imagined the situation between herself and the young marshal. Now, this situation had really happened, and she felt at a loss.
After all, she is only nineteen years old. Although she is mature physically, she still needs to be tempered mentally.
Are you going to hand yourself over tonight? But there is no preparation! But she also knew that this was a rare opportunity to have close contact with Zhang Hanqing. If she didn't grasp it well, she or he might not be able to see each other face to face next time.
To obey or not to obey? This is a problem.
She was in a battle between heaven and man, but Zhang Hanqing made the decision for her with his actions. He skillfully got close to her face, then condescendingly used his majestic body and bear-like physical strength to immobilize her, and then, he took away her first kiss.
"You know? From the first time I saw you, I knew that you belonged to me." His breath was panting warmly.
For a moment, Gu Ruiyu didn't know what to do. Her current mentality had changed from whether to accept it to how to refuse it. Her two hands were held tightly by Zhang Hanqing, almost completely losing her ability to resist, so that Zhang Hanqing's subsequent movements went very smoothly.
It wasn’t until Zhang Hanqing conquered two highlands that she realized that this was neither an exercise nor a slapstick, but an actual battle! But facing the one she loves, all her obstructions are of no use and she is weak.
When she was still conscious at the coffin, she asked Zhang Hanqing from her soul: "Young Marshal, will you marry me?"
To be honest, Zhang Hanqing is tall and handsome, has great literary talents, and has a high position. Being successful as a young man is the dream of countless young girls. It's the same with hands and feet. If it is done by a boy who doesn't like it, he is a scumbag; but for Zhang Hanqing, the career he pursues is romantic and suave, which is the true nature of a man.
In this situation, I believe any normal man would give a rational answer. For Zhang Hanqing, there is no sense of guilt in bringing such a wonderful person into the harem. With his status, current energy, and understanding of Feng Zhi, this is not a problem.
"Yes! I want to turn you into my woman!"
So he said categorically. Far away from the Northeast, more strictly speaking, beyond Yu Fengzhi's reach, he had no psychological burden. That’s what he said, that’s what he thought, and that’s what he was doing.
Gu Ruiyu’s remaining strength disappeared. When the heart belongs to someone, all this becomes a matter of course, so the high ground is successfully taken without any pressure.
Zhang Hanqing is a veteran of Hua Cong, and Gu Ruiyu has innate capital. The collision between the two created countless waves.
There is an old saying that goes well, if a young person turns into a human being and kisses passionately, how will it end if they don’t make love? Therefore, it is only normal for Zhang Hanqing to strike while the iron is hot.
Skin-to-skin contact makes Gu Ruiyu confused and confused, unable to help but be at a loss. However, this situation did not last long, because Zhang Hanqing's hands began to wander restlessly again.
"Young Marshal, I" She didn't know what to say, it was purely instinctive. She also wanted to do something, but until the last moment, she failed to organize an effective defense. The young marshal's family background, courage and handsome appearance made this nineteen-year-old girl unable to help but fall deeply in love with him.
I am like a moth, willing to pounce on you, even if I am burned.
This kind of refusal made Zhang Hanqing even more brave. In a few short minutes or ten minutes, he kissed almost every part of her skin, and he could feel her trembling with every contact, which also made his passion more and more full.
"From today on, you are my woman" he said after taking a breath.
“But this is not to ask for her consent, but an oath of sovereignty. In fact, his movements were quick and effective. I wonder if it was three times or five times? I can’t remember—what’s the need to remember? Anyway, her clothes were soon piled up in front of the bed, and her perfect green-white body was quickly presented in front of him, all at once.
Gu Ruiyu closed her eyes, not daring to look at the man in front of her. She knew what was about to happen, but she didn't know what to do. resistance? What a joke! Cooperate? No way to start. obedience? Well, all I have to do is obey.
On the contrary, Zhang Hanqing looked down at his territory with great interest. The first thing he felt was white, dazzling white. Sure enough, she is worthy of her White Russian ancestry. Women of the yellow race cannot reach this level in any case. This is the advantage of the race. Huang Wanqing and Huang Ruqing are already very fair, but they are still not as fair as her.
The second excitement is plumpness. Also perhaps because of her White Russian ancestry, her body is quite open, fully mature, and blooming with alluring sweetness.
?Then what comes into view is a pair of jade legs, slender and elastic. Maybe it was the Russian cold that wore away the obesity in her genes, but her legs looked pleasing to the eye anyway.
Kissing and touching are no longer enough to quell his passion. What needs to be done now is to do it naturally.
Gu Ruiyu closed her eyes tightly and bit her lower lip weakly with her silver teeth. At this moment, she understood a little bit why moths flew toward the fire, because they could live forever in the fire. She felt like that brave moth, resolutely pounced on the fiery Zhang Hanqing, not afraid of being ignited or being shattered to pieces.
I am so angry for the one I love! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Outside the bedroom, Yu Yifan listened to the goings on in the room with a blushing face. No matter how indifferent she was, she knew what was going on inside. She was a little annoyed with herself. She had obviously worked hard and successfully aroused the desire of the bad guy, but she turned around and let the little girl Gu Ruiyu get an advantage!
“Hmph, let that bad guy work harder and make this little girl suffer even more! Do you dare to seduce your uncle again? But why did her scream, which seemed to be in pain but not in pain, sound so heart-shakingly hot?
The tremors inside finally calmed down. Yu Yifan was afraid of being caught and was too embarrassed to stay any longer. However, Gu Ruiyu's voice kept recalling in his ears and he had no sleep all night.
Early the next morning, Yu Yifan ran over to see Gu Ruiyu's miserable condition.
After being tortured by the bad guys, she is probably no longer human, right? However, when she saw Gu Ruiyu's delicate skin and refreshing appearance, she couldn't help but wonder: Was she tortured or nourished last night? What method did the bad guy use to make Sister Xiaogu change like this?
Since then, the sky in Beijing and Tianjin has been clear. Zhang Hanqing has been riding horses more and more often, and his experience has become more and more mature. In his spare time, he also made fun of Yu Yifan. Now Yu Yifan, after going through that scene, his psychological endurance has also increased. In her words, Zhang Hanqing was called "bad guy" more and more often, but the two of them still failed to break through that psychological barrier.
“The good days must eventually pass, otherwise there would be no such thing as the saying “extreme joy brings sorrow”. The first bad news came about Yu Fengzhi's condition.
Spring is a season when illnesses often occur, and Yu Fengzhi’s illness went from diagnosis to critical condition quite quickly. Traditional Chinese medicine has been unable to rejuvenate the body, and even doctors from the Western Church are at a loss. This is the root cause of the disease that occurred when the fourth child was born.
Zhang Hanqing immediately ended his life of debauchery outside the customs and returned to Shenyang with Yu Yifan. Yu Yifan had his connections, so it didn't matter whether she was in that class or not, and no one would expel her out of her mind. This is true at all times and in all countries.
Seeing that it was no longer possible, the whole family was preparing for the funeral. The first thing to bear the brunt was who would take care of the four children she left behind. According to tradition, Huang Wanqing is the best candidate for strengthening the body, and I believe she can also assume this responsibility according to custom. However, considering Yu Fengzhi's consistent stance, it seems that it would be inconvenient to mention this kind of thing during her lifetime.
Yu Aozhou also came to visit his sister many times. With Yu Fengzhi around, his status as "uncle of the state" was as stable as Mount Tai, and he also successfully gained a place in the Fengcian political arena. However, both publicly and privately, he needed to properly arrange Yu Fengzhi's unfinished business. He knew a little bit about the relationship between Yu Yifan and Zhang Hanqing, but he was as wise as he was and would not make any statement.
He knew Yu Yifan’s character. She looked lively and cheerful on the surface, but in fact she had deep feelings and a natural resilience. Even ten cows couldn't stop what she was sure of.
He had scouted out a few young talents from the Northeast, and there were some who were well-matched. But every time he signaled to his wife through her mouth, Yu Yifan shook his head firmly and didn't want to hear them.
A girl who is already twenty years old. It was very common to have children at that time. Could it be that she already has someone she likes? With Yu Aozhou's power, it is not difficult to find this person. But the results show that Yu Yifan is very simple, and few of the men of the same age he comes into contact with can be considered close friends, although there are many crazy suitors.
After checking again and again, the young marshal who was not on the list turned out to be a key suspect. This was due to an inadvertent slip of the tongue by Yifan.
Everyone thought that Yu Yifan's closeness to him in the Marshal's Mansion in Shenyang was because of Yu Fengzhi's relationship. Her willfulness in front of the Marshal was more understood as a younger generation's coquettishness towards her elders, and Zhang Hanqing was not considered at all. The elder is actually only three years older than her!
“Only Yu Fengzhi noticed the difference with a woman’s intuition and quietly limited the opportunity for the two to get along independently. Therefore, from beginning to end, there was no scandal in the Marshal’s Mansion.
"When Yu Yifan moved into Zhang Hanqing's Shuncheng Palace in Beijing in a grand manner, the Yu family didn't care yet, and Yu Fengzhi was beyond his reach. In Beijing, Yu Yifan is a lonely girl, and it is only right that she live in the handsome man's house and receive the protection of her uncle.
However, Yu Yifan, who has a lively nature, occasionally reveals his emotions, which makes the Yu family feel that it is necessary to take precautions. The marriage and love of children of large families have always been an important factor in maintaining the strong vitality of the family.
With the current status of the Yu family, it is at least a must for a talented man and a good-looking woman, and it is even more necessary for her to be well-matched. Yu Yifan has always been nonchalant about marriages arranged by his family, until one day when he was asked "What kind of person do you want to marry?", he blurted out: "The person I marry must at least be a hero like my uncle." !”
Thinking of Yu Yifan’s response toThe Yu family understands the admiration of the handsome young man and the love he has for her from his younger brother-in-law.
In fact, this is not a big deal: Confucian culture has been almost dismembered since the Qing Dynasty, and the traditional marriage relationship was shattered to pieces in the Qing Dynasty.
Since Huang Taiji, there have been many cases of aunts and nephews marrying the same husband. For example, Huang Taiji's eldest concubine Zhezhe married her niece Hai Lanzhu because she could not have children, and then married Hai Lanzhu's sister Dayu'er. , it became a legend that three aunts and nephews served one husband together. This did not affect Dayu'er's later success in becoming the famous Zhuang Concubine in history.
The Northeast is the birthplace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Traditionally, the Han people don’t pay much attention to the human relations. Besides, before the Yu family became famous, they were just a merchant, so they didn’t pay much attention to it.
From the Yu family's perspective, Yu Yifan is the best candidate to succeed Yu Fengzhi: First of all, Yu Fengzhi's children can be brought up to the maximum extent. With the conditions of the Zhang family, this is not a problem, but people feel that Different; secondly, the young marshal's love for Yifan is enough for the Yu family to continue to maintain its glory; and another point is that according to custom, girls from the family can be used to celebrate, and maybe they can really rejuvenate.
So after Yu Aozhou’s wife, Yu Fengzhi’s natal sister-in-law, expressed her thoughts tactfully in front of her hospital bed, Yu Fengzhi had no objection. She knew about Zhang Hanqing's love interest, and she also knew that she couldn't keep his restless heart.
My husband likes beautiful women and wild flowers. It is best to "walk among thousands of flowers without a single leaf touching me." It is impossible to deprive him of this hobby. It is natural! But having Yu Yifan here is much better than having other women enter the Marshal's mansion.
Mrs. Yu said softly to her: "Then I will make it clear to Xueliang?" Yu Fengzhi nodded. Although she didn't want to accept it from the bottom of her heart, the plan of her sister-in-law and her family was the best way at the moment. People are still there and favors are there, but people are gone, who can restrain the romantic young commander? It is much better to have the considerate Yu Yifan who has watched them grow up to take care of her several young children than others!
As Zhang Hanqing’s status rose, Zhang Zuolin and his wives did not interfere much with Zhang Hanqing’s affairs. They are also familiar with Yu Yifan, and they also like her very much. If Zhang Hanqing has no objections - it would be strange to have objections with his flirtatious nature, then let's marry him!
Originally, everyone thought it would be a matter of course, but Zhang Hanqing rejected it outright.
Seeing that Yu Fengzhi was seriously ill, after all, they had been married for many years, and their relationship was still very sincere. No matter what kind of tacit understanding the two families have reached, he cannot accept his ex-wife marrying another bride before she is dead. This is the minimum responsibility of a man!
In the view of marriage developed by later generations, when it comes to marriage after a new bereavement, regardless of men or women, he looks down upon it: Is it necessary to be in such a hurry? You will die if you wait! You couldn't wait to mess around with your former bedmate before his body was cold. Is it true that a husband and wife's love for a hundred days is a lie? Even if you want to cover the eyes and ears of outsiders, you still have to wait in name!
When Mrs. Yu asked Zhang Hanqing about his attitude about something that was going to make Yu Yifan happy, Zhang Hanqing instantly fell into a state of surprise: the human relations issues that had bothered him for many years were easily solved, but this occasion was so inappropriate!
He categorically objected: "Yifan is a good girl - but if I marry another woman now, wouldn't I urge her to die early! How sad will that make her feel? Now is not the time to talk about this!"
He didn’t categorically refuse, it’s just that “the time is not right” now. As for the future, we should be able to talk about it, right? And he didn't know what Yu Fengzhi was thinking. They had been married for many years, so he couldn't be so heartless.
Of course, he will not firmly oppose it. What if he is self-defeating and is set up as a model of infatuation by others? So I paused and then said, "Even if she is really dying, I can only agree to it if she agrees!"
Mrs. Yu said kindly: "Fengzhi has already agreed. She also feels that it would be more secure to let Yifan take care of Lu Ying and Lu Xun."
Zhang Luying is the eldest daughter of Zhang Hanqing, who is five years old. The three brothers Lu Xun, Lu Ju and Lu Qi were born in sequence, one for each year. The youngest Lu Qi has just learned to walk - from this we can also see the effect of Zhang Hanqing's hard work.
When you are young and you can’t even remember your mother’s appearance, you have to be separated from your loved ones forever. This is the greatest pain in life. He lost his mother when he was ten years old, and still grieves endlessly on the anniversary of his death. Zhang Hanqing is not in the mood to talk about his joy.
He said to his wife kindly: "Fengzhi is seriously ill, and I really don't have the heart to think about these things. During the years when she married the Zhang family, I failed to take good care of her, which is why she got such an illness. Now What I should do is to find ways to delay medical treatment. I have made an appointment with Dr. Warren, a Western medicine doctor at the U.S. Embassy in China, to see Fengzhi's condition. According to his experience, Fengzhi will get better."
With such a deep and affectionate son-in-law, what else can Mrs. Yu say? However, after she truthfully told what Zhang Hanqing said to Yu Fengzhi on the sick bed, Yu Fengzhi couldn't help but shed a few tears. The strength that she had never experienced during her serious illness was suddenly conquered.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. Although her husband is carefree, he always puts himself first in his heart! But what did you do? Supporting the status of a big wife, refusing to allow Huang Wanqing to enter the marshal's house, and doing his best to restrain Zhang Hanqing's slightly irregular or playful behavior outside - this is not what a well-educated wife should do!

Yu Yifan visited Tao Fengzhi several times. She seemed to have changed her personality from the lively, cute and clever girl. The relationship between their aunt and nephew has always been deep, and she felt very sad when Yu Fengzhi became so ill.
She was even more worried in her heart, always wondering if her aunt became like this because she and her uncle were too close.
She would have heard or noticed some clues that her family and aunt wanted her to marry Zhang Hanqing: Mrs. Yu's subtle smile when she looked at her, her mother's overt and covert questioning about her relationship with the young marshal, and the rosy expression she often showed when she saw her. With thoughtful eyes, the family members avoided their own whispers, including the fact that my aunt once seriously asked her about her "feelings" towards her little uncle
So when she saw Zhang Hanqing, her eyes were dull and lost their former sparkle. What's even more egregious is that she began to avoid opportunities to have private contact with Zhang Hanqing, although they actually had quite a lot of opportunities in the Marshal's Mansion, and she had never avoided people in the past.
"You've been acting weird these past few days. You didn't even call me uncle when you saw me. Isn't this because there are three hundred taels of silver in this place?" It was another noon, and Yu Yifan was blocked by Zhang Hanqing in the back garden of the Marshal's Mansion. Ask next to the rockery.
This place is a bit far from the corridor. Unless you come here to relax, most people will not take a few extra steps to walk this way.
Yu Fengzhi was in poor health. Yu Yifan actually lost some weight after serving her in person for a few days, and her originally tender and pretty face became haggard. It seemed that the relationship between aunt and nephew was indeed deep.
In the past, Yu Yifan liked to be with him; now, Yu Yifan has been avoiding contact with him in private. If it wasn't a coincidence today, she would still be avoiding him.
No silver what? Yu Yifan realized instantly that he was talking about something he wanted to do for his aunt. It's okay not to mention this, but I feel a little angry when I think about it!
It is of course good that her family is willing to fulfill her and the young commander's good deeds. With her guilt and past feelings for her aunt, she will also finish Yu Fengzhi's unfinished business. But what did Zhang Hanqing say? He actually lovingly rejected his family's offer!
Although this is a good reflection of the true love between him and his aunt, and he is also a very responsible man from this aspect, this is also a rare opportunity for him and me! Although she felt very conflicted when talking about this matter when her aunt was seriously ill, if something unexpected happened and her aunt was still not immune, where would she go from here?
"Don't block me, annoying!" Yu Yifan didn't give him a good look.
“In today’s Fengxian, there are only a few people who can give Zhang Hanqing a look. Zhang Zuolin is capable, but in order to establish prestige for Zhang Hanqing, he will not refute him at all, but will continue to build momentum for him.
Yu Feng is very capable, but it is a pity that she is ill now, and her lack of expression is also in the boudoir. She is still quite virtuous outside, especially when outsiders are around.
The third person is Yu Yifan.
What she relies on is Zhang Hanqing's extraordinary love for her, which absolutely transcends family affection, and her deep-rooted admiration for Zhang Hanqing. Maybe subconsciously, she has always had more affection for him than family affection, but she just didn't realize it.
"What's bothering you? Tell me and it will make me happy!" It's definitely fun to tease Yu Yifan, especially watching her mature small breasts bulge and sway repeatedly, it's very eye-catching. The little deer bumping into each other, is this what you are talking about, right?
As Gu Ruiyu’s type, he has carefully and carefully examined it personally, and it is indeed very interesting. Yu Yifan is thin and tall, which will be a different flavor.
"You, my aunt's illness is all annoying!" Yu Yifan said simply.
"What's wrong with me?" Zhang Hanqing was speechless. Yu Fengzhi was ill. As her closest niece, it was normal for her to have something on her mind, but it was strange that her brother was shot inexplicably.
"I heard that my aunt wants to marry me to you?" Yu Yifan revealed this relationship to him for the first time.
Zhang Hanqing and her have always been flirting with each other, and she has the same intention, but the relationship between the two parties is still based on love and politeness. As a highly educated modern woman, she cannot ignore the reaction of the world, especially the opinions of her family.
She has also imagined many scenarios of beating mandarin ducks, and she has also been worried that Zhang Hanqing would alienate her because of concerns about reputation, fame and influence. Now, because of my aunt's illness, these things have been solved effortlessly. However, it was rejected by Zhang Hanqing. Could it be that he really just looked at her with the mentality of an elder? But feelings don’t lie!
"That's what happened."
"You refused?"
"Um."
Yu Yifan was speechless. He is usually very eloquent!
??"Why? You don't like me?" After a moment of silence, she asked bravely. She was afraid that he would answer "yes", and even silence would make her heart freeze.
She fell in love with her future uncle when they first met. Of course, it was just an immature psychological activity of a little girl at that time. After all, there were not many outstanding members of the opposite sex like Zhang Hanqing around her.
Then her understanding and admiration for Zhang Hanqing gradually became clear through his series of civil and martial arts, and after the appearance of "Phoenix Nirvana", she developed a deep admiration for him like a storm, and from this it was sublimated to a new stage. This process began to ferment during the days and nights spent with him in Tianjin, and has taken root ever since.
If she didn’t have the relationship between aunt and nephew, she would definitely pounce on him proactively and resolutely, even if it was a moth flying into the flame. But reason told her that this process was too extreme and bold. After all, the Zhang family and the Yu family are not ordinary families. Every move of everyone is easily politicized, especially the young commander. What he does is extremely easy to be politicized. Targeted by political opponents
So he never acknowledged this relationship personally.
until today.
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing did not disappoint her.
"I like you!" he said, "but now is not a good time."
He explained: "Although your aunt mentioned this matter to me, your family also agreed, and the old lady mentioned it to me face to face. But I can't do it! Feng Zhi——What a good woman your aunt is Ah, how can I cause trouble for her when she is sick? If her illness gets worse, you and I may feel guilty for the rest of our lives."
Yu Yifan was silent, but he was already nodding in his heart. Although there has always been a folk saying about happiness, is it really okay to have a wedding with your uncle while your aunt is dying among the patients? Zhang Hanqing's kindness and righteousness moved her even more at this moment, and she felt his kindness even more.
He said he likes me? He said he likes me! This is what he said himself! Yu Yifan's heart felt like flying. The sadness, uneasiness, and pain of the past few days seemed to disappear without a trace with his words. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 597 An unexpected surprise (Part 2)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
She could sense that Zhang Hanqing was constantly at war with him over her affairs, because even in the most ambiguous moments, he did not act very intimately. In fact, with her acquiescence, he had many opportunities. This wasn't because he had high concentration, otherwise Gu Ruiyu wouldn't have taken advantage of the situation. It can only be said that he is still very concerned about the impact on his family and family.
It was not easy for him to have this opportunity, and he had no psychological burden, but he forcibly stopped it when it was about to come true. This is something that only a man who values ??emotions would do. In this regard, he is blameless, and even more so, Yu Yifan falls in love with him.
"Then you" Yu Yifan didn't know what to say. She wanted to ask if he would agree to wait until her aunt was gone, but subconsciously she didn't want to do that; she also doubted that if her aunt recovered from her illness, would her family still have such positive thoughts about her?
"Don't think about anything now, I will give you a result, no matter whether Feng Zhi's illness is good or bad in the end"
Zhang Hanqing's words were like a reassurance and ginseng fruit, which made Yu Yifan's mood suddenly brighter, which to a large extent alleviated the gloom caused by his aunt's illness. In fact, ever since Yu Yifan learned that her family had the idea of ??marrying her to Zhang Hanqing to celebrate her aunt, things had gotten worse. Every time she saw him, she could no longer express her sweet habit of calling him "little uncle".
“Then after she heard that Zhang Hanqing rejected Mrs. Yu’s suggestion, she worried about gain and loss for many days. The feeling of losing her loved ones and extinguishing her longing for love hit her heart again and again.
If you ask what love is in this world, how can you tell us whether it means life and death?
Until this moment, everything is silent, the weather has cleared up, and the waves have calmed down
"Huh, don't be so pretty. Do you think I, Yu Yifan, have to stick to you if I can't get married? Let me tell you, the boys who pursue me in school can line up from the dormitory to the gate of the school!" Yu Yifan was confident after receiving the promise. Complete, and began to return to her true nature as an elf.
"Oh, really?" Zhang Hanqing wanted to laugh when he saw her "going wild when she succeeds". At this time, she was holding her waist with one hand in an inconspicuous manner, holding her head high like a proud princess. If you don't treat her, she doesn't know that Lord Ma has three eyes!
"Yeah, you bite me?" Yu Yifan is not afraid of him, even though he has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, controls more than half of the provinces in the country, and has or always has the status of at least a commander, down to a patrol envoy and governor. . She is serious about kicking her nose and face!
"You asked me to bite you!" Zhang Hanqing suddenly smiled evilly. Glancing at it, he saw that there was no one around, so he was very brave. Taking advantage of her getting carried away, he suddenly came to her side and pinched her arm.
Caught off guard, Yu Yifan instinctively threw himself into his arms, which was Zhang Hanqing's intention. Before she could stand still, his hands hugged her, and then he covered her mouth with his lips at lightning speed.
"Well" In this flash of lightning, Yu Yifan had no chance to react. At first, she instinctively twisted and struggled, but under Zhang Hanqing's fiery enthusiasm, she soon became confused and infatuated. Then, I felt Zhang Hanqing's hands becoming restless.
In the haziness, I saw a little girl not far away sticking her head out and then quickly retracting it. She suddenly woke up in the spiritual platform. This is the Marshal's Mansion. Even though it is in the backyard, even if it is not busy, there will still be many servants or maids walking around! Maybe it was just now? How embarrassing!
"You bad guy!" She pushed him away hard. There was still saliva from him at the corner of his mouth, and his clothes were wrinkled by him.
"Hehe", Zhang Hanqing succeeded with one blow and couldn't help but smile proudly: "Don't be shy, put a seal! Didn't you say, 'Hang yourself with a hook, and you are not allowed to change for a hundred years'?"
This was a small idea when they first met at the antique store, and today it finally came true.
"Someone saw it just now" This is what Yu Yifan was thinking.
Yeah? Zhang Hanqing looked over with a guilty conscience. Where could there be even a single figure? It must be an illusion that Xiao Nizi had when she was in love!
It was only when he went to Yu Fengzhi’s place at night that Chun Ni rolled her eyes that he felt something was wrong!
When Zhang Hanqing sat on her bedside and hugged her head to talk, Yu Fengzhi regained her clear thinking and decisiveness. She said to Zhang Hanqing naggingly: "Xueliang, I was too strict with you before. In fact, What man doesn’t have three wives and four concubines? Besides, you have such a status, it’s strange that you don’t have a girl around you. I have recorded all the kindness you have done to me. Regardless of whether I can be nice or not, I agree with you to marry Yifanjin. Home door…”
Zhang Hanqing still wanted to be polite, but Yu Fengzhi looked at him and smiled without saying a word, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, she did not pursue the matter during the day any further, but said very seriously: "There is also Sister Wanqing"Regarding the direction of Sino-Japanese relations, Zhang Hanqing could only routinely tell lies about "China-Japan friendship" and "reconciliation of diplomatic relations" These days were actually his busiest.
After leaving the gate of hell, Yu Fengzhi's outlook on life has changed a lot: when Zhang Hanqing was shyly hesitating whether to go to Huang Wanqing's room to make things worse, she had already urged him to spend time with Huang Wanqing; Zhang Hanqing had not yet had time to say anything. When she came to test whether the promise she made during her illness to "marry Yu Yifan as soon as she gets better" was still valid, Yu Fengzhi had already talked to Yu Yifan.
As for what the result will be, Zhang Hanqing pretends not to know, but from the look in Yu Yifan's eyes when he saw that he was hot and shy, and has lost his former aura, we can tell that big things can be done, and we can look forward to it soon!
"If the eldest wife changes her temper, she will be blessed with love in the future. When will she let Gu Ruiyu come home again?" And Yu Yifan? As a result, the houses in the Marshal's Mansion may not be enough. Is it possible that I need to build a skyscraper in Shenyang in advance? Zhang Hanqing was happy thinking about good things.

Chapter 598 Turning enemies into friends
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Yu Fengzhi's illness lasted for more than a year. He invited countless famous doctors, but none of them could explain the cause. The fragrance of medicine is constant at home every day. In a family like his, no matter how precious the Chinese medicine is, it can be found. However, the Chinese medicine doctors insist on their own opinions, which delays the disease.
As soon as the Western doctor arrived, he immediately cured the disease with medicine, which touched Zhang Hanqing a lot.
It’s not that Chinese medicine is not good, but that it is difficult for Chinese medicine to have a systematic treatment plan. It pays attention to individual differences and pays attention to pathological inferences to solve the problem at the source. The truth is right, but the treatment effect is too slow. Moreover, Chinese medicine is traditionally hereditary, unlike Western medicine, which is open and easy to popularize.
"In the next two days, a medical school must be established at Northeastern University, and other qualified universities must also open traditional Chinese medicine departments. This will not only allow Chinese doctors to synchronize with Western medical skills, but also carry forward the traditional advantages of traditional Chinese medicine so that it can play a leading role in world medicine in the future. I can have a place on the stage to avoid the decline like that of later generations." Zhang Hanqing secretly made a decision.
His idea can definitely be realized, but it must be in China under the control of the Feng clique. Be obedient to your words and your financial strength allows.
Looking across the country, the Feng clique is already the absolute pole that dominates Chinese politics. Political competition is actually a comparison of strength. What the Fengcian faction relies on is not only its super military strength, but also its excellent political organizational power, propaganda ability, clear political program, huge economic power, and the support of the provinces under its rule. policy.
The current political situation in China is that the Feng clique, which includes the People's Party clique, is the only force, leaving the second-placed Zhili clique far behind. Even so, the Zhili clique's power can definitely throw off the already declining Kuomintang clique's power. But even if they unite, plus the Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan factions in the southwest, they can only be regarded as slightly equal.
With the Feng Faction completely taking over half of the Republic of China, even if other domestic opposition forces join forces, it will be difficult to defeat it. Under this situation, Sun Yat-sen, who was living in Shanghai, saw the situation clearly and decided to unite with the Fengxi to reshape the legal system.
With the previous round of shelling on the Huangpu River, the Kuomintang was already at odds with the People's Army, but the Kuomintang also had a grudge against the Kuomintang. Under such circumstances, it is of course unrealistic to wait for the Feng clique to extend an olive branch to the Kuomintang.
??With the elimination of the Kuomintang, the Fengcian faction can completely form China; but without the Fengcian faction, no one can play in China's political arena. This is the reality.
By this time, Sun Yixian realized that in addition to the Kuomintang having no hope in the military, the People's Party's political and economic achievements were far beyond his comprehension. He decided to ignore the past grudges and join forces with Zhang Hanqing again to work together to create China's comprehensive entry into modern society.
It is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies. From this point of view, this is the demeanor of a responsible politician.
Why doesn’t Zhang Hanqing want to achieve a peaceful situation? Although it ostensibly occupies half of China, various adjustments take time. It has not yet formed an overwhelming military advantage over the Zhili Clan outside the customs. It also has to guard against the Japanese, British, and Americans taking advantage of the situation or shooting in the back. In addition, economic development does not happen overnight. In fact, it is he who needs the most time.
“If some historical trends had not repeatedly become reality, he would not be so worried about the fierce competition between Zhili and Feng. Fortunately, he was able to avoid the great defeat of the first Zhili-Fengtian War and retained strength for China. But who would have thought that the power accumulated in the early stage would become even more ferocious?
Both the People's Army and the Fengjun Army are in a stage of rapid expansion. At this time, due to the large number of new recruits, a considerable number of grassroots commanders who are students have not experienced the baptism of war. The command system is in the adaptation period due to the extension. If a war breaks out, the combat effectiveness will be lower than before the expansion.
Under Zhang Hanqing's urging, the Fengjun outside the pass began to reorganize the sequence of the People's Army, while the elders inside the pass were watching. It seems that this is only a change in the four major departments of the General Staff, Political Department, Logistics Department and Equipment Department, but it is fundamentally different from the old army.
For example, the Political Department was a unique product of the Guards Division and the First Division, and was later extended to the entire People's Army. Its benefits to the army are visible, and its disadvantages are also obvious: because it can control the chief officer's personal control over the army, its appearance marks the dividing line between the old and the new armies.
For example, the General Staff Department even appeared earlier than the Political Department. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the army only had chiefs of staff above divisions and mixed brigades, and the ranks were lower. It was due to Zhang Hanqing's efforts that the status of chief of staff was gradually improved. Because of the promotion of the status of chief of staff, Zhang Zuoxiang's talents increased, and he was able to keep pace with Sun Liechen, Zhang Jinghui, and later Wu Junsheng who had heavy troops.
 When needed, Zhang Hanqing would spare no effort in writing, as he wrote in his handwritten reply to Liao Zhongkai: "Your handwritten letter is appreciated. Mr. Sun Yat-sen is a great figure of our generation and is admired by the world. The king of the family admires him, and he always has a good view." Xingxing stopped sighing. The rights have been surrendered for a long time. I would rather say this than fight with each other! In the spirit of cooperation, everyone is willing to work sincerely, and the overall situation will be better. This time Jingzhao came to Shen, and I apologize for not meeting him while on business. If you wish to take good care of yourself, you will not be prepared."
When he decided to write a reply, he was sitting in the bedroom of the Marshal's mansion teasing a beautiful woman. They are all false things anyway and should not be taken seriously. Even if he didn't reply a word, Sun Yat-sen and the others would hypocritically say that he "strongly agreed, but didn't have a word to reply", right?
Therefore, this extremely literary palindrome is actually written by Yu Yifan from beginning to end. When she was writing this article, Zhang Hanqing secretly glanced at her chin three times, her nose once, and her breasts countless times.
The masters in the field of propaganda, the Kuomintang and the powerful faction Feng Lian, joined forces. The other subordinates were not to be outdone and also called for peace. In the end, even the Zhili faction had to declare its sincerity for peace in lengthy articles, which made Zhang Hanqing feel embarrassed. Everyone wants peace, but who wants war?

How could Sun Meiyao, who had already made full preparations, be intimidated by these words? He was now confident and waiting for the young commander to speak. He said to Tian Zhongyu's people: "Tell Governor Tian that if you have the ability, come to Baodugang. If you don't agree to my conditions, we will all die together!"
He asked for Dayang, 10,000 yuan for each hostage and several guns, double the amount for foreigners!
If they are abroad, their government may even pretend to be in order to reduce risks. But now in China, they frequently put pressure on the central government. Sun Meiyao deliberately delayed in accordance with Yan Xingguo's instructions, causing Tian Zhongyu to almost collapse under the joint pressure of the ministers of various countries stationed in China.
Zhang Hanqing, who was still staying in Beijing, "timely" appealed to Sun Meiyao after the incident "not to harm the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, or the young." He told Sun Meiyao if he had anything to say. He also said that he had arranged for the 4th Division of the People's Army to contact him, and that Sun Meiyao also "followed the good deeds", and more than a hundred hostages left safely with the envoys of the 4th Division, making the outside world praise the People's Army's public relations capabilities.
It will not be so easy for the remaining 70 people. This is Sun Meiyao's last bargaining chip. The People's Army, which had been in the limelight, stopped when it was good, leaving the hard bones for Tanaka Yu and others to gnaw on.
Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, the elders of the Zhili clique, were also constantly questioned by senior members of the Fengcian clique and under strong public pressure from all walks of life. They said that as the chief and deputy envoys of the Zhili Luyu patrol, such major security problems occurred under their rule, which is enough for China. This shame caused the Beiyang government to lose all face.
In turn, they put pressure on Tian Zhongyu and reprimanded Tian Zhongyu for his work that made no progress.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Tanaka Yu stands on his own, and never listens to orders, but now, when something happens, he has to implicate his immediate family, of course he will not make excuses.
It is not that he did not give people hope. After hard mediation, Tian Zhongyu first reached an agreement with the hijackers to allow the hostages to communicate with their families, and set up a temporary communication agency between Zaozhuang and Baodugu in Shandong, and later "sent "One point" reached an agreement to conditionally release the hostages, but all the good news was cleared after Tian Zhongyu's troops besieged Baodugang.
Baodugang is originally a very rugged area in the Yimeng Mountains. Traffic is quite inconvenient and walking on both legs is difficult. Originally, the Shandong government's troops responsible for suppressing bandits planned to use a few cannons to bombard the mountain in order to increase their firepower, but this also came to nothing after entering the field. Rifles alone cannot effectively break through the bandit stronghold.
After the exchange of fire, the hostage negotiations reached a deadlock.
It is said that Wu Peifu scolded Tan Zhongyu in the secret message: "What about 'promoting and suppressing at the same time'? I think my brain is rusty and I don't know the importance!"
Because of this incident, the direct line has been under great pressure. At this time, the correct answer is to be able to reduce the major issues to trivial matters in the shortest possible time: the ransom of 70 people is only a million oceans at best. It is important to redeem the people first. Ah, especially foreigners, all of them are ancestors!
Chen Tiaoyuan, who was expelled from the post of Jiangxi Governor by Zhang Hanqing, is now the nominal commander-in-chief of Sulu, Anhui and Henan and the garrison of Xuzhou. In fact, his title of "governor of Xuzhou" is real. In order to gain the opportunity to "renew his life" Chance also spared no effort in pursuing this case and proposed to negotiate with Sun Meiyao.
In the official history, he learned from Wu Kezhang, general manager of Zaozhuang Zhongxing Coal Mining Company, that Sun Meiyao wanted to be favored, and then volunteered to negotiate with him, and finally broke the deadlock, and was called a "Huang Tianba-style hero."
But now Sun Meiyao has another puppet string tied to her, and she doesn't even consider "surrendering" to the direct clique, so in the end his efforts are in vain.
At the critical moment, it still depends on the People’s Party. Zhang Hanqing ordered the 4th Division of the Kuomintang to dispatch a group of "competent people" from the Political Department to go from Pei County via Xuecheng to Zaozhuang with great fanfare to negotiate with the Sun bandits.
There are only twenty or thirty people in this group, and they don't have guns or cannons. According to the propaganda, they are to "move people with emotion and understand them with reason." At worst, they will be used as hostages to replace the hostages who were kidnapped. The worst task is to replace the hostages. Those foreign "friends".
This move made the foreigners very happy, and they began to praise the friendship of Fengxi, especially the families of foreign tourists.
When discussing ideals with bandits, all parties looked at him with suspicion and thought it was a bit quixotic and ridiculous. But considering that this group of people actually risked their lives to do this, at least their fearless international humanitarian spirit deserves praise.
But it is also strange that Sun Meiyao, who refused to give in, was "conquered" by this group of people. Not only did he obediently let him go, but he also vowed to join the People's Army. According to what the foreign hostages present saw and heard, "Sun was in tears and almost Want to faint.
"The staff of the department saw that his intentions were sincere and agreed after urgent request for instructions." More than 2,000 people in Sun Meiyao's department were reorganized into a brigade, with Sun as the brigade commander.
Nature, peopleThe hostages were later treated as honored guests and experienced the transformation from hell to heaven - after being caught, they asked for a bowl of corn soup but could not get it.
Regardless of whether it was an exaggeration or not, regardless of whether the foreign hostages did not hesitate to exaggerate because the People's Army saved their lives, the performance of the 4th Division personnel made Tanaka Tama lose another point. No one knew that this scene was a drama directed and performed by the Central Investigation Department from beginning to end.
Although this matter ended peacefully, Feng Xi did not want it to end casually. Zhang Hanqing decisively took action on the matter. He made a big fuss about the matter. First, he criticized Tian Zhongyu for his administrative inaction as a provincial governor and should bear an important responsibility for the carjacking case; secondly, he criticized the Zhili clique for being militaristic, so that the people were deprived of their livelihood and forced to do good things. Steal.
Based on this, a massive campaign to destroy the fields was launched, and the firepower was gradually transferred to Cao and Wu.
Under pressure from all parties, especially Wu Peifu who privately asked him to "top the tank" in order to lose his car and save his commander-in-chief, Tanaka Yu couldn't resist, so he had to step down in despair and go to live in Tianjin and Dalian, and take care of his privately planned projects. Went to "Hebei Tian's Private Middle School".
"However, Tian Zhongyu is not good at being an official, but he has contributed a lot to education and has many achievements and ideas, which are comparable to Zhang Hanqing's. This "Hebei Province Tian's Private Middle School" was built in Shanhaiguan four years ago by investing a huge sum of money in compliance with the wishes of his grandmother Sun and mother Yan who were widowed for two generations when he was the governor and governor of Shandong.
In order to solve the source of school construction and school running funds, Tian Zhongyu once invested in the purchase of more than 14,500 acres of school land, received 100 square miles of barren hills, and began to afforestation on the barren hills, using the annual land rent income as the main source of school running. At that time, Tian Zhongyu himself served as the school director of Tian's Middle School. The campus is adjacent to the Great Wall in the east and bounded by the Shanhaiguan North City Wall in the north. It covers an area of ??45,000 square meters and has a construction area of ??about 3,500 square meters.
This is the shining point in the life of Tanaka Tama as an old warlord, and it is worthy of being remembered and written by future generations.
If he hadn't had so many things to do, Zhang Hanqing would have wanted to personally award him a big certificate. From this point of view, a warlord can manage to avoid diverting limited funds to build guns or spend them on flowers and wine. , being an "excellent educator" is definitely considered competent.

Chapter 602 Zhang Zongchang governs Lu
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The military is the continuation of politics.
While pursuing Tian Zhongyu fiercely in politics, Zhang Hanqing has already set his sights on the whereabouts of this fat piece of Shandong - without him, only by controlling this place can Zhili truly be regarded as the turtle in the urn.
Relying on Henan and Hebei alone, as long as Zhang Hanqing's strategy does not go wrong and there are no major international policy fluctuations towards China, the Fengcian clique will be able to defeat the Zhili clique in just two or three years. Now the Zhili clique is already on the way. It's downhill.
Fengjun, who was stationed in Dezhou, took the opportunity to head south, under the guise of "protecting the country and the people." It is unbelievable to say that this army is the famous "White Russian Army" of Zhang Zongchang.
During the two years of "production and construction" in Xinjiang, Zhang Zongchang's army received a major baptism. The "White Russian Legion", composed of White Russian soldiers who had converted to Chinese nationality, as well as Japanese, Korean, and French soldiers, miraculously survived and enjoyed the purgatory life in the military camp.
By relying on large households to collect land rent, the land under the name of the Xinjiang Construction Corps has reached a huge scale of 5 million acres in two years, and they are even at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Zhang Hanqing promised not to collect taxes from them, so Zhang Zongchang lived a comfortable life in the past two years: not only did his military strength expand to nearly 20,000 people, he also obtained very advanced aircraft and armored vehicles from Soviet Russia, and formed a flying team and an armored convoy.
The main reason for the expansion of the number of soldiers was that the Soviet-Russian civil war was coming to an end. The White Russian soldiers who had no hope of seeing the light of day escaped from the Kazakh territory and were taken in by them. Aircraft and armored vehicles were gifts given by the Construction Corps located on the Sino-Soviet border, which also sold a lot of grain to Soviet Russia in addition to self-sufficiency.
The Construction Corps has achieved initial results. The Northwest People's Army has no major combat tasks in the short term, so it has gradually taken over the assets of the Construction Corps. Although Zhang Zongchang's "Belarusian Corps" had some merits, it frightened the middle and upper classes of Xinjiang because of its excessively bloody behavior of preying on large households. In the long run, it will be detrimental to the country's layout of stabilizing Xinjiang.
“And he is a rough man. Although he carried out Zhang Hanqing’s orders without compromise, he did nothing to maintain national unity and allow the Xinjiang Construction Corps to rise on its own strength.
So at the beginning of the year, Zhang Zuolin transferred Zhang Zongchang to the front line of Qingxian County on the pretext that the Fengjun outside the pass was not strong enough. He originally wanted to use him as cannon fodder in the war with the Zhili Clique.
"It's a pity that the Zhifeng and Feng families never fought, and Zhang Zongchang's reputation for harming the people spread.
"Perhaps he kept a low profile and suppressed himself for too long in Mongolia and Xinjiang. After arriving in Qingxian County, Zhang Zongchang's true nature was fully revealed: he was addicted to gambling and played with dominoes all day long. Because the locals in Qingxian County call playing Pai Gow "eating dog meat", Zhang Zongchang is nicknamed "The Dog Meat General", which is not really a harm to domestic dogs.
Beijing, Tianjin and especially Tianjin are the territory of the Feng Clan. Having such a figure will only damage the image of the Feng Army without adding any points. Therefore, when Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing wanted to capture Shandong, he was the first person they thought of.
Strictly speaking, he is not part of the Fengtian army - Zhang Zuolin basically never considered him in terms of organization or supplies, leaving him in a self-destructive situation for a long time. Zhang Hanqing gave him a way to survive, and gave him the designation of the "White Russian Corps", which also gave him a place to live.
But everyone with a discerning eye knows that the army of Zhang and his son is either called the Fengjun or the People's Army. What the hell does it mean to have a White Russian Corps hanging above his head?
This kind of nondescriptness made him gain again. No matter how weak Cao Kun was, he would not tolerate Fengjun or the People's Army stepping into his Shandong territory. And Zhang Hanqing finally drove away Tian Zhongyu, because he definitely didn't want to make wedding clothes for his immediate family.
So the two sides proposed each other’s candidates for the new supervisor, but in the end they rejected each other.
At this time, Zhang Zongchang came out to find out, because he was not officially a member of the Southern and Northern Feng cliques. Looking back, he also had connections with the Zhili clique.
And his "foreign soldiers" have all participated in the European War, are proficient in new tactics, and although they have no military discipline, they are good at fighting. The Shandong garrison is no match for him, and Zhili wants to help but is unable to do so.
Because water from far away cannot quench thirst from near.
Although Henan and Shandong are adjacent to each other, Tian Zhongyu is considered a member of the Zhili family, but he never joined Wu Peifu's team. At most, he is "counted" as a Zhili member, and the Zhili army has never been able to enter Shandong - in fact Tian Zhongyu was also "counted" as a member of the Anhui clan during the Duan Qirui era. As for who he was? God knows.
Of course Wu Peifu also made some arrangements. He ordered Chen Tiaoyuan to go north to block the passage south of the Yellow River and prevent Zhang Zongchang from crossing the river. He himself also ordered the Henan troops to march towards Shandong at night. Do the math, if Shandong’s army only needs a little more strengthThe important task of prosperity. Zhang Zongchang is a big boss. He often calls himself Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, and he likes to call Yang Du Zhang Liang.
Yang Du once laughed and said: "The emperor of the Han Dynasty can serve the meritorious people, but the Duke can only serve the ears of the meritorious dog. Of course I am not qualified to be Zhang Liang, and the father is not comparable to Han Gao." Zhang Zongchang said: "Then you are the meritorious dog. ?" Because Yang Du was appointed as counselor, he often called Yang "Counselor of Sheep Tripe", and Yang Du dubbed him "General Dog Meat" to match him, and Zhang Zongchang tolerated it generously.
During the period when Zhifeng maintained superficial peace, Zhang Zongchang truly became the local emperor of Shandong. His violent nature sprouted and he committed many evil acts. As Jiang Menglin once wrote in the book "Western Tide": "This notorious warlord is as strong as an ox, as stupid as a pig, and as sexually violent as a tiger. His claws will reach out to anyone he doesn't like at any time. Or any beautiful woman he covets, her majestic appearance is really intimidating.”
In addition to robbing women, he also worked hard to get money and recruited soldiers. He basically used all his experience in serving in the Construction Corps again, so much so that he was even called the "Three Ignorants" general: "I don't know how many soldiers he has, and he doesn't know how much money he has." How many, I don’t know how many there are.”
"If Zhang Hanqing hadn't seen his behavior and issued two warnings, the people of Shandong would have suffered countless disasters. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 603 Jiaoji Line Changes Owners
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
"What are you doing? This is a military station of the Japanese Empire. The idlers are waiting to leave immediately!" Near a military station on the Jiaoji Line, Japanese military police were expelling several approaching Chinese.
These people are young, strong, and well-trained. They should definitely not be "good". Reminiscent of several recent cases of fights involving Japanese soldiers, Japanese sentries have increased their vigilance.
These Japanese military police said they were the military police of the temporary railway unit, but they were actually the same soldiers who had just changed their names.
"Fart! According to the agreement signed between our country and Japan, the Jiaoji Railway is under our jurisdiction. You can go wherever you come from!" The Chinese are not afraid of the guns of the Japanese military and police at all.
Hearing this, the Japanese military police understood that this was another group of Chinese soldiers who came to make trouble!
Outsiders may not believe this, but the Japanese soldiers on the Jiaoji line all know that they are now living in dire straits.
Since the declaration of war between Japan and Germany during World War I, the Japanese have sent troops to occupy Qingdao, then obtained all German interests here, and expanded the line of control to the surrounding areas in accordance with the Japanese tradition.
Originally, in accordance with the "Regulations on Solving Shandong Uncensored Cases" signed between China and Japan on February 4 last year: the Jiaozhou Concession was returned to China and opened as a commercial port;
The public properties occupied by Germany were returned to China, and those occupied by Japan were taken back at a low price;
The Japanese troops withdrew within 6 months;
Qingdao Customs, Qingyan, and Qinghu submarine cables are returned to China;
The Qingdao Saltworks and Qingdao Jinan Radio Station were redeemed by China;
The Jiaoji Railway was redeemed by China, but the Japanese participated in the main management;
Germany’s old property in Shandong was handed over to a Sino-Japanese joint venture.
“But Japan made excuses for this and that, and stayed in Jinan and refused to leave. In addition, the Jiaoji Railway is "mainly managed" by the Japanese. In fact, Japan also controls the two largest cities on the peninsula from Jinan to Qingdao through this railway. Like the South Manchuria Railway, Japanese soldiers were stationed along this railway, and the external name was the "Provisional Railway Regiment".
It looks like there aren’t many soldiers, but it’s heartbreaking!
The role of the Jiaoji Line is self-evident: it is an artery across Shandong, a southern channel for Shanxi coal transportation, and an important port drainage channel for Qingdao Port. The military significance is that "it takes nine or ten days to get from Qingdao to Jinan. After the train is connected, it only takes twelve hours." Qingdao thus became the bridgehead into Shandong.
We must not let the Jiaoji Line become the second South-Manchuria Line! The 4th Division obeyed the command of the Marshal and took over the entire Jiaoji Line.
Don’t the Japanese have troops stationed along the line? We cannot fight, but where there are Japanese soldiers, if they have one, we will station two. If they leave the railway line, officers and soldiers on site will warn them. If it doesn't work, use the advantage of more people to attack the smaller ones. As long as you don't shoot first, the order from the division headquarters is "you can shoot to death"!
The Japanese are very unhappy with this high-pressure situation.
In the first few days of intervention, many large-scale armed fights took place between the armies of both sides in order to compete for dominance.
The well-prepared People's Army usually comes forward in one group, with several groups of people watching, and there are machine guns and artillery on alert in the distance. Among the people on the field, there were far more Chinese than Japanese. The young men were ordered to fight, and of course the more they fought, the more courageous they became. Almost all the battles ended in a great victory for the People's Army.
Some time ago, many Japanese soldiers who "violated regulations" were beaten. At first, everyone just played games with hands and feet, but the Japanese suffered a loss because there were many Chinese soldiers: at various stations along the line, the People's Army began to expand the control area so that it could choke the Japanese railway troops at any time.
In order to deal with the more than 2,000 people in this regiment, the 4th Division placed an entire brigade along the line!
It’s not that the lonely Japanese army has never thought of attacking the real ones, but the People’s Army has already announced that once the battle starts, the Japanese army will declare war on the People’s Army and will be counterattacked across the board. According to the current layout, if the People's Army is upset, it can completely clean up the entire "temporary railway unit" from head to toe.
The Sino-Japanese agreement stipulates "co-management", but it doesn't allow you to attack us!
If you fight with your hands, you can't beat them; if you use weapons, you have no chance of winning. Fortunately, the opponent is waiting for them to cause trouble. Then just shrink back and avoid causing trouble? Sorry, people always have to eat, drink, and be useful, right? Is it possible that they are really escorting China Railway? Coming from such a long distance, the spirit of internationalism is too touching, right? As long as they dare to go out of the designated circle, there is definitely the possibility of encountering misfortune!
Such stories are happening everywhere along the Jiaoji Line.
Japanese soldiers are very aggrieved: They have always been the only ones to show off their power in China, when will it be your turn to bear this humiliation? But there is no way. The government's intention is not to fight, and its strength does not allow confrontation with the People's Army. What else can it do except endure?
Later, it didn’t work to go to the Japanese Minister in China. Every time the Japanese protested, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, which had received instructions from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, would also protest again. Both sides were fighting hard, but it was the Japanese soldiers below who were suffering.
??For them, in front of dozens or hundreds of people from the People's Army, a dozen or twenty of them are called "lonely", and they are lucky not to be beaten until their faces are covered with vomiting blood. The People's Army tortured Japanese road guards in this way. Later, this section of the railway was privately called the "Journey of Blood and Tears" by Japanese soldiers. "Every section of railway track has the blood and tears of Japanese soldiers."
It’s not that the Japanese Minister Hichiji didn’t cry out for war, but Zhang Hanqing had already responded. In order to guard against the Japanese, Feng Feng had 7 idle divisions in the Northeast! If it weren't for this factor, Zhang Zuolin would have killed Wu Peifu long ago.
Unless there is a big war, or more troops are sent from the mainland to the Jiaoji line, this number of people alone will only be a sacrifice to the People's Army. However, as we all know, the general international climate is toward disarmament rather than military expansion. The exception to the Feng faction was that China had too few troops before. After the "Washington Conference" in 1921, Japan began to disarmament, and its military expenditure decreased year by year from 730 million to only 500 million in 1930.
“We just laid off 4 divisions at a huge cost, why don’t we immediately re-arm them? Britain and the United States will not agree!
But occupying the Jiaoji Line is an established national policy. If the Chinese army forces them out of Shandong, how can the Locust Army lose face? As a last resort, the Japanese North China Commander, the commander of the "Provisional Railway Regiment", placed one part of the garrison in Jinan and the other in Qingdao. In fact, he gave up his "responsibility"
Now the people along the Jiaoji Line can feel proud and proud. Without the ravages of the Japanese, places along the line suddenly feel like a paradise
Even so, the People's Army cannot stay in Shandong justifiably, because according to the original principle of compromise, Shandong is a non-intervention area. It's just that the People's Army forced a brigade in the name of protecting the Jiaoji Line, and the Zhili Clan could only watch. They were not so stubborn as to stand up to the Japanese.
The Japanese say that Jinan is protected by Japan. Starting from Duan Qirui, there are no Beiyang troops stationed in Jinan. The Japanese say that I have used Qingdao, but everyone can only raise their hands in protest.
But it’s strange that the Japanese followed the Young Marshal’s example and were beaten until they were beaten. They also learned the common words used by the Chinese government such as “protest” and “objection”. Is it really true to what people often say: "A person who is stunned is afraid of being violent, and a person who is violent is afraid of losing his life"?
Zhang Hanqing has fought against the Japanese several times, and every time the Japanese suffered big losses. Moreover, he beat the Japanese to death, and every time he completely exploited Japan's weakness. Over time, the Japanese were afraid of him.
"The way of the world is that evil people will be punished by evil people, and the Japanese's arrogance also depends on the target.
In addition to the Jiaoji Line, there is another paradise.
After Zhang Zongchang entered Shandong, he expanded greatly, and soon he added a division of Harada Nakatama to his command. Due to the large number of men and guns, Zhang Zongchang's military expenditures were huge. Although Zhang Zuolin continued to allocate funds from Liaoning, he could not make ends meet. So Zhang Zongchang had no choice but to let soldiers grow opium in his own area to make up for the shortfall.
This incident aroused dissatisfaction among various departments in the Feng Army and asked Zhang Zuolin to disband the team. In desperation, Zhang Zuolin took advantage of the exercises of various army ministries and sent Guo Songling, the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun outside the Pass, to Zhang Zongchang's headquarters. It was called a review, but in reality it was dismissed. During an inspection of one of Zhang Zongchang's troops, he was very unhappy when he saw the ruffian soldiers, so he announced a reorganization plan on the spur of the moment.
Zhang Zongchang didn’t know, so he cursed: “Damn it, this is some idiot’s plan to make us like this!”
Guo Songling was furious: "Who are you scolding?"
Zhang Zongchang understood and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Haha, this is my spoken language, and I am not scolding anyone."
Guo Songling is not a forgiving person: "I x your mother! This is also my spoken language."
Zhang Zongchang: "Uncle Guo, you are my mother, you are my biological father, what else can you say? Dad!" Then he knelt down in front of Guo Songling, which made Guo Songling, who was many years younger than Zhang Zongchang, blush. The purge came to nothing.
“Obviously, this kind of quick wit must be matched with extraordinary shamelessness.
Zhang Hanqing couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, but because of the current situation in Shandong, it is necessary for him to exist, and there is no way to relocate the White Army, wanderers, and stragglers for a while. Perhaps only a ruffian like Zhang Zongchang can control such a situation. Troops, right? In line with the principle of making the best use of people's talents, Zhang Hanqing does not want to touch him at the moment.
Zhang Zongchang tried to win over Guo Songling again. Guo Songling not only did not implement the dismissal, but instead spoke well for Zhang Zongchang in front of Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Zuolin. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin favored Zhang Zongchang greatly. A month later, Zhang Zongchang's department was officially named the "United Corps", which had a total of 18,000 "foreign corps" and 10,000 Chinese soldiers, together with the Baodugang Recruitment Corps. The two thousand bandit troops were also handed over to him.
Suddenly, Zhang Zongchang had no less than the strength of two traditional Beiyang divisions, and he became his commander proudly.
However, because this old and rough general had completely ruined the image of Fengjun, Zhang Hanqing was still prepared to take the opportunity to transfer the "United Corps" to Tianjin and prepare to manage it himself.
As Zhang Shouchang secured his position in Shandong, it also indirectly opened the path for the Fengtian Clan to connect the north and the south via the Jinpu Line.

Chapter 604 I am Li Gang
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The People's Army fought bravely and fiercely with the Japanese on the Jiaoji Line, which made Japan very angry. They also continuously adopted many means to put pressure on the central government.
“It’s rare for a Chinese soldier to bring glory to the country, which makes the Chinese people who have been bullied for many years very happy. Many vivid jokes describe how the People's Army beat up the little Japs, and it is a definite fact that the Japs ended up huddled in two places.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity can no longer be missed by the government's weakness. Although this government also depends on the Feng faction, under the pressure of the Japanese, there is no way to prevent someone from causing trouble.
So students in Beijing organized themselves and began to express support for the People's Army's actions in Shandong. Among these people, you can see many familiar people: Yu Yifan, Xu Zhimo, Jin Yuelin, Hu Shi, Liang Sicheng, Lin Huiyin
These intellectuals went to the Japanese Embassy in China to demonstrate with passion. Lin Huiyin went for Liang Sicheng, Jin Yuelin and Xu Zhimo went for Lin Huiyin, and Yu Yifan went because the Japanese opposed the People's Army and the People's Army. To oppose the People's Army is to oppose Zhang Hanqing
With united will, more and more people are joining the army. Yu Yifan was very happy to see what the people wanted, and the students were also very happy: China only has hope if our country is here!
When we turned to the intersection of Nanchang Street, something unexpected happened suddenly. A black car did not avoid the crowd and drove quickly in front of the team. Liang Sicheng, who was turning around to shout loudly to the team, was knocked several steps away. His younger brother Liang Siyong was also knocked down.
Liang Sicheng was seriously injured. He fell to the ground and felt that he could no longer use his strength behind his back. His left leg was covered with blood, and he struggled to move for a while. He grinned in pain, and it was probably broken.
There was a car accident and everyone gathered around. Lin Huiyin hugged Liang Sicheng tightly and cried. When Xu Zhimo saw this, he showed his courage and stretched himself to the front of the car, forcing it to stop with his body.
The car stopped, but no one came out. Only one person slowly rolled down the window from the back seat. After taking a look at the crowd, he slowly shook it up again. Just when everyone thought that he must come out to deal with the accident, they saw that the car door was closed tightly and no one showed up for a long time. How could he show any care for the injured?
This place is close to Zhongnanhai and is a place densely populated by military and police. After a while, two traffic police officers arrived. While arranging for people to take the injured to the hospital, they briefly asked what happened. However, after seeing the license plate of the car, the two people's faces became very ugly.
“The students are all idealists who are far inferior to those of the Dharma University. They are even more dissatisfied when they see that the perpetrator has not even paid a minimum visit since the accident. They surrounded the police: "They hit someone with their car, and they want him to get out of the car to apologize and bear the subsequent expenses!"
The police seemed very embarrassed: "We will investigate and deal with this matter. The top priority now is to take care of the injured quickly, and leave other matters to us."
Some students shouted: "Who are you sitting in this car with? Why didn't you even show your face after the accident?!"
The car window rolled down again, and the man appeared again. When the police saw him, they immediately saluted in unison. Even Yu Yifan worked in the Ministry of Finance for a period of time, and I don't know who he is. However, we can tell from the reserved demeanor of the policemen that this person must be of great status.
The man slowly handed over a business card and said, "I'll leave the aftermath to you." The nearby policeman held the business card in both hands and said yes, and watched the car start again. From the time the accident occurred to the time he left, the man never moved a step and had no interest in even looking at the injured.
Yu Yifan has lived in the comfort home created for her by her family since she was a child. When she got a little older, as Zhang Hanqing became more and more powerful, she was respected even more. How had she ever encountered such an unreasonable thing? In my impression, my uncle Zhang Zuolin and my younger uncle Zhang Hanqing have never been so powerful. Who is this person? Can you still let him run away? She rushed forward and blocked the front of the car.
The driver of the car that caused the accident saw that she was a pretty girl, and she was confident in her temperament and attire. He did not dare to be too presumptuous, so he stopped suddenly. Then I heard an angry shout from the back seat: "Whose girl are you from? Do you want to die?"
Yu Yifan doesn’t care who he is or what his background is. With Zhang Hanqing, this little uncle, his background in China is not as big as hers! She also said angrily: "Why are you so unreasonable? If you hit someone, at least apologize and send them to the hospital. This is the basic morality. You look so old, why don't you understand this!?"
She is a gentle person, and she only talks about "principles and morals" over and over again. If Zhang Hanqing were here, she would probably scold her immediately. People hit people because "his father is Li Gang", and now Li Gang is here to hit people in person!
That person is frivolousHe said, "What's the point? It's reasonable to give you a business card! Isn't it just medical expenses? Just come and get it!" He said, "Drive!" The front of the car passed by Yu Yifan, staining Zhang Hanqing's hand to her. Newly bought skirt. If she hadn't reacted quickly and covered her skirt that was rolled up by the wake of the car, the love would have been leaked on the spot.
Seeing that Yu Yifan still wanted to chase the car, the older policeman pulled her and said kindly: "Miss, don't chase me yet. Do you know who this is?"
Yu Yifan was so furious that he trembled with anger for the first time since he was a child. She said angrily: "Can't he still be the president?" But what she was thinking was: "Even if he is the president, I want my uncle to get this place back!"
The older policeman sighed: "Even if he is not the president, he is almost there." He raised his business card: "He is Jin Yongyan, the undersecretary of the Army in the cabinet, and he is the most trusted person of President Li!"
Li Yuanhong has long followed the four great kings: Jin Yongyan, then deputy minister of the Ministry of War; Xi Shiyi, then secretary-general; Ha Hanzhang, who has resigned; Li Shu, Hubei Provincial Senator. These four people participated in all Li Yuanhong's political activities and were called the "Four Evils of Li Mu" by the Anhui clique.
Jin Yongyan is Li Yuanhong’s Optimus Prime. No matter how many soldiers he, the deputy army chief, can control, at least with him around, Li Yuanhong can still control the situation.
?????????????? But Yu Yifan is not a member of the officialdom. Besides, the people she usually interacts with casually are basically not lower than Jin Yongyan. The concept of this position lies only with the minister's deputy.
Oh, Deputy Secretary of the Army, are you amazing? Even Grandpa Sun Liechen, the Minister of the Army, greeted him cheerfully when he saw him, and even a deputy commander dared to boast! Tell your uncle when you get back and remove him from his post!
“In fact, there is no need for her to come forward. Considering the Liang family’s status in the political arena of the Republic of China, no matter how arrogant Jin Yongyan is, his reputation is far worse than Liang Qichao. It was exactly when he was about to encounter this calamity that he bumped into the two young masters of the Liang family, and they even faced each other directly. How could Liang Qichao not express something?
Not to mention that Liang Siyong suffered minor injuries, his eldest son Liang Sicheng suffered a spinal injury and a fractured left leg. Doctors have performed emergency surgery on him. Although it was successful, the doctor said that several more surgeries would be needed, and according to experience, even if the surgery was successful, his left leg would be a little shorter than his right leg(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 605 Self-inflicted evil
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Thinking that his beloved eldest son turned out to be a cripple, the unknown fire in Liang Qichao's heart burst out.
Since the time of Yuan Shikai, he has served as the Chief Justice of the Republic of China. During the Duan Qirui era, he was the glorious figure in Chinese politics. He was both the Chief of Finance and the Governor-General of Salt Affairs, and the leader of the "Constitutional Research Association". What is this Jin Yongyan? Back then, even President Li Yuanhong was being kneaded into dough, and he was just Li Yuanhong's staff!
Although Liang Qichao has retired from politics, he still has considerable reputation in the education and cultural circles, and many of his disciples are in the military. This spirit will not be easily extinguished. He met with Li Yuanhong in person and demanded to find the murderer. Public opinion also overwhelmingly asked the government to come forward and give an explanation.
Under strong pressure, Jin Yongyan had to apologize and bear all medical expenses. When reporters asked why he hit the female student (Yu Yifan) who blocked the car in the end, Jin Yongyan used the driver as a scapegoat and said: "The driver saw the crowd surrounding him and thought they had evil intentions, so he sped away. I also educate him on this." Pass the driver."
He bowed deeply to the representatives of the Liang family: "I am extremely sorry for Mr. Liang's injury. It was a complete accident. My respect for Mr. Liang has always been the same."
In the end, even President Li Yuanhong came forward to intercede on his behalf, and the Liang family gave up. After all, he is the president, and a has-been chief executive cannot compete with people's love in terms of administrative power. Fortunately, the sons managed to save their lives and earn back their face. Besides, it was a traffic accident, so nothing could happen to them.
However, things suddenly broke out again because newspapers in the Beijing and Tianjin areas began to demand that Jin Yongyan, who bullied others, should take the blame and resign.
The newspapers once again brought up memories of the traffic accident: Jin Yongyan’s arrogance and indifference, and the helplessness of the injured and indignant people. The article believes that having such a high-ranking official in the country is not a blessing to the people, and even suggests that if Jin Yongyan is unwilling to take the blame and resign, President Li Yuanhong should remove him from office as a warning to others!
Who is so bold as to openly challenge the authority of President Lebanese? Who doesn't know that Deputy Chief Kim is his right-hand man, and that one accident can ruin his political future? ridiculous!
Jin Yongyan also found it ridiculous. Even the parties involved, the most important Liang family, have given up pursuing the case. Why are others making such a fool of themselves? What is the relationship between President Li and him? That's a win-win situation for everyone, and a loss for everyone!
But when President Li came to the Ministry of War to talk to him in person, he suddenly felt that the trouble he had caused this time was not small. No wonder Chief Sun Liechen suddenly treated him coldly in the past two days.
Sun Liechen was the chief of the army appointed by the Feng clique. He was originally a key figure in the Feng clique group. He was also the representative of the Feng clique in Beijing who had tacitly approved of President Li Yuanhong's taking office. Therefore, although Jin Yongyan was arrogant outside, he still treated him. All due respect.
Of course he didn’t know that Yu Yifan’s incident had already made Sun Liechen very angry. Sun Liechen has no children, and the young marshal who has always respected him and the lovely Yu Yifan are the closest people to him. On the night of Liang Sicheng's accident, Yu Yifan heard about Jin Yongyan's status as Army Undersecretary and complained to him.
In view of the possibility of a change in political stance between them, Sun Liechen comforted Yu Yifan and asked her to consult the young marshal's attitude.
Zhang Hanqing didn’t care at all about this car accident. Compared with later years, when more than 200,000 people died in car accidents every year, Liang Sicheng only suffered a fracture and a broken spine, which was considered a good outcome. But after all, he was public-spirited, indirectly spoke for the Feng clan, and was an acquaintance. Lin Huiyin had to express condolences for the sake of his face when he suffered such a misfortune.
With the great god Liang Qichao here, he had no doubt that this matter would be handled well. Although warlord disputes continued in the Republic of China, politicians still had strategies to fight.
Of course he is dissatisfied, and he has no intention of using his power to start a war. Because although Li Yuanhong does not belong to any system, under the current situation, he is the best nominal candidate for the center. As for Jin Yongyan, according to Zhang Hanqing's understanding, it was just a matter of the past few days.
Zhizhi Zhengchou couldn't find a point of attack. By pulling his own tiger skin, he successfully made the world think that he was also dissatisfied with him, and made people in the Fengcian watch the battle. In this public opinion attack, Jin Yongyan was just a cover, and he was actually targeting Li Yuanhong, and he was still kept in the dark.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It’s forgiven for the sins committed by God, but you can’t live for the sins you did yourself. He was cheating on his father, and he was cheating on his old boss.
What Yu Yifan received was a minimal impact. In his opinion, it was nothing at all. She was just indignant. Alas, I still haven’t seen much of the world. How many of these unfair things will I hear in future generations?
However, Liang Sicheng’s injuries were unknown. He would inevitably have some unspeakable thoughts sometimes.??: "If his leg died, would Lin Huiyin still want to marry him?"
He knew that his thoughts were too dark, but he had no choice. After successfully conquering Dayangmagu Ruiyu physically, he wanted to pursue a kind of psychological comfort——perhaps, for men, it was impossible to get. That's the best, right?
As a family friend and old friend of the Liang family, especially with Lin Huiyin here, it would be unreasonable not to visit Liang Sicheng. One morning in early summer, he and Yu Yifan went to Union Hospital.
The reason why he did not bring the more formal Gu Ruiyu was really hard to explain: Gu Ruiyu and he had a physical relationship, and there was inevitably some intimacy in their daily expressions, and he was afraid that Lin Huiyin would see it! Of course, Yu Yifan's excuse was that Gu Ruiyu was still studying in Tianjin and it was inconvenient to make an appointment with her.
Yu Yifan was very happy.
It has become increasingly difficult to formally attend various public occasions with my uncle, especially some very private occasions. Every move of handsome men and beautiful women, especially the young marshal with huge political influence, attracts people's attention; and Yu Yifan's spirituality and delicacy have endeared him to the children of many dignitaries in Beijing.
But for Yifan, her younger uncle’s youth, handsomeness, fame, status, and wisdom all make him a perfect person in her heart. Even his passion is taken for granted. How rich is he?
As a poem says, "There was a time when it was difficult to find water in the sea." With Zhang Hanqing in front of him, Yu Yifan's vision was naturally much broader. Compared to my uncle, those people would be thrown a few blocks away. Moreover, there was another very important factor: her aunt and family members had already acquiesced in her relationship with Zhang Hanqing. Her aunt Yu Fengzhi even once took her to clarify the relationship in private.
She felt very embarrassed that time when she snatched her younger uncle from her aunt who loved her the most, but her aunt did not mean to blame her, and even hinted that she would give her an opportunity to marry her uncle, and hinted that she should "take care of the people around your uncle." "
How to manage? My uncle is surrounded by either political dignitaries or military leaders. If he wants me to take care of them, isn't it "a woman doing politics"? Although she has received a westernized education, she still retains many traditional concepts, especially those related to politics, which are the most taboo for her family: even Zhang Hanqing's first wife, Yu Fengzhi, never uses "pillow style".
But thinking about Yu Fengzhi’s seemingly pointed expression, she later understood.
That is to control the rhythm of the women around my uncle! Didn’t my aunt say that she would no longer interfere in my uncle’s private life? It turns out that I put myself here as a trump card. However, my aunt probably didn't know that before she spoke, sister Xiaogu had already slept in her uncle's bed! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 606 There is a kind of love called letting go
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Most people in the circle know a little about the relationship between the young marshal and Yu Yifan, so Yu Yifan is respected accordingly. Even for outsiders, the fact that the always romantic young marshal always brings a charming girl like Yu Yifan is unavoidable and makes people wonder. When you go to visit your love rival, it is very honorable to bring a beauty like Yu Yifan with you.
The Liang family is a scholarly family with students all over the world. Liang Sicheng was injured, so the scene must have been pretty good, so the ward was full of people. These people are either old friends, disciples, or celebrities in the cultural world. It cannot be generalized. However, a personal visit from someone as prestigious as Zhang Hanqing still made the Liang family feel more face-saving.
Although the perpetrator, Jin Yongyan, had already given the Liang family face, Liang Qichao knew that once this face was lost, he could never earn it back, because he was sitting in his position without moving at all. Now Zhang Hanqing inquires about the condition in person. Although it is only a courtesy, it at least shows an attitude. The entire Liang family feels honored.
Those who can stay in the ward are usually the closest people to the host family, and they are all relatively familiar with Zhang Hanqing. Seeing him come in, everyone nodded and saluted. Only one young officer received the salute with a bang and said loudly: "Young Marshal!"
Zhang Hanqing also noticed him, not because he knew him, but because of the lady next to him. Her bright smile and light body make people instantly fall in love with her. However, in just a moment, his long-term habit of picking up girls made him quickly correct his attitude. He responded with a smile: "It's Shouqing, why are you here?"
Shouqing is Wang Geng, a rookie in the police force who was promoted by Zhang Hanqing.
He is only twenty-six or seventeen years old, but he has already achieved the rank of major general. It is obvious from a glance that he is a young man who has achieved success. Of course, compared to Zhang Hanqing's youth success, he is still a little behind.
"Reporting to the young marshal, Sicheng is the eldest son of my mentor. I heard that he was injured, so I came here to have a look." He said to the girl next to him: "Xiao Man, this is the young marshal." Then he asked Zhang Hanqing. He introduced: "This is Xiaoman from the mainland, you can call her Xiaomei." He also explained to Zhang Hanqing: "I came to the capital for business in my humble position, and this happened to me. I came here to visit my mentor and Sicheng."
Oh, this time Lu Xiaoman, Zhang Hanqing remembered it, how could he not remember it?
The two most talented women of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Northern China were the Republic of China. In the social circles of Beijing, the two Shus from Beijing and Tianjin who kept pace with Lin Huiyin were both knowledgeable and well-literated.
However, Zhang Hanqing admired Lin Huiyin, but was not interested in Lu Xiaoman. Without it, Xu Zhimo, the most passionate poet in the Republic of China - the one who was sneaking a sneak peek not far away from her - would have been destroyed in her hands in official history.
A married woman who falls in love with her husband’s friend is not worthy of respect. Besides, she is still a little inferior to Lin Huiyin, at least Zhang Hanqing thinks so - let's just say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
When Wang and Lu got married, it was a sensation in Beijing.
Lu Xiaoman’s father, Lu Ding, was a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. He graduated from Japan’s Waseda University and was a proud disciple of Japan’s famous Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi. He has served as Secretary-General of the Ministry of Finance, Counselor, and Director-General of Taxation for more than 20 years; his mother Wu Manhua’s ancestor Wu Guangyue served as the governor of Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty, and he was from a scholarly family.
When Wang Geng, who was extremely confident and ambitious, met Lu Xiaoman, a famous socialite in Beijing at that time, a marriage of equal interests was born.
"The wife is accommodating both Chinese and Western things, her natal family has strong financial resources, and an extensive social network; the poor boy Wang Geng has a bright future. He is a disciple of Liang Qichao, a figure highly regarded by the Northeast Marshal Zhang Hanqing, and he is also very popular in Beijing. The marriage between the two was a typical marriage between a gentleman and a lady in the upper class society at that time. It looked like a perfect match between a talented man and a beautiful woman.
It’s just that the Lu family, which was at its peak, was very wealthy and paid for all the wedding expenses, and naturally arranged all the wedding ceremonies. It is said that there are nine bridesmaids alone. In addition to Cao Rulin's daughter, Zhang Zongxiang's daughter, Ye Gongchuo's daughter, Zhao Chunian's daughter, there are also several British ladies.
The clothes of these ladies are also customized by the Lu family.
Zhang Hanqing not only knew about this wedding that caused a sensation in Beijing, but was also an important participant. At that time, in order to build up popularity for his promising subordinate, he also specially ordered it to be held at the "Navy Party Club". Several officials in Beijing supported Wang Geng to avoid being compared with his wife's family.
Seeing Lu Xiaoman in this situation was his first meeting, so it was not a big deal. However, he was surprised by Xu Zhimo's presence: These two enemies who are destined to cause trouble should not really cause trouble!
But Xu Zhimo doesn’t seem to be interested in Lu Xiaoman. Maybe Lin Huiyin hasn’t decided on the famous girl yet, but why does his face look like this?; This is not arrogant. To be honest, as long as Zhang Hanqing officially stated that he would hold Jin Yongyan accountable, the courts of the Republic of China would not be able to praise him for his legal spirit. As for the president, what strength does Li Yuanhong have to dare to challenge him?
It’s just that Liang Qichao didn’t let Zhang Hanqing have any room to perform. He could see that Zhang Hanqing was just putting on a show. Isn't it necessary to show favor to the Liang family? The Liang family has good influence in the cultural world, but their connections in the military and political circles are completely false, and he knows it.
Using the Liang family to attack Li Yuanhong? Not quite. Although I am not interested in politics, I still see the situation in Beijing very clearly. Li Yuanhong was caught between the Zhizhi and Fengxi factions and was completely a puppet. Although Jin Yongyan is one of his four great Vajras, he just sees that Zhuang|Yan is actually a clay Bodhisattva, and he can trample him with just a splash of urine.
"Don't think about it clearly. These politicians have very deep thoughts, even this young marshal. If you are unclear, don't get involved, so just treat this matter as a pure traffic accident and let it go. This will also bring blessings to the Liang family in the changing world and give their children a little love: "That's it for now, young marshal. It was just a car accident."

Chapter 607 Dark Wind
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Liang Qichao’s eyes were full of wisdom, and his words were deep and powerful. Zhang Hanqing suddenly understood what he was thinking, and smiled slightly and said: "Since Mr. Liang hopes for reconciliation, how can I add any unnecessary extravagance?"
He turned to Liang Sicheng: "I just hope that brother Shi can recover soon and we can chat together again."
At this point, Lu Xiaoman, who had been silent all the time, suddenly smiled and said: "I have always heard that the Young Marshal is quick-thinking and has a lot of insight into the study of new and old cultures. Even Hu Shizhi admires him. If the Young Marshal doesn't give up, Xiaoman will do his own thing. I would like to invite the young marshal and a few friends to visit my home if they have the opportunity - I wonder if the young marshal can give me a favor?"
As one of the twins who were once famous in Beijing, Lu Xiaoman has left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after her marriage, has stopped going to school, and works full-time as a good wife and mother at home. Because according to the tradition at this time, if she was still out in the public eye doing things, what would she look like? Where would her husband's face be put? Of course, a capable man should let his wife stay at home, be supported and restrained.
She is not willing to live like this, nor is she willing to watch Lin Huiyin, who was once a concubine in the capital, shine in the social world. In the capital, because of the remarks and poems written by the young marshal at the Lin family's salon, although his remarks aroused controversy from all sides, Lin Huiyin successfully attracted the public's attention.
Now that the young commander is nearby, this opportunity cannot be missed.
Lu Xiaoman’s words are so gentle that people can’t bear to reject them. Talented women of the Republic of China have their own unique features. But before Zhang Hanqing said anything, Xu Zhimo responded excitedly: "Very good, I have admired Lu Xiaomei's literary talent for a long time. It is really a beautiful thing in life to have this opportunity to learn from each other!"
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????… Maybe he is too infatuated, which makes the other person look down on him. Now, Lu Xiaoman, who is famous all over the capital, has intervened, which can also be used to dampen her spirit.
But I have never realized that Lu Xiaoman actually has another kind of beauty that is breathtaking, right?
At this time, Wang Geng, whose clothes were tugged by Lu Xiaoman, also understood that this was a good opportunity to get close to the young marshal. Lu Xiaoman had already taken the lead. Wouldn't it be stupid for him not to take the lead? He also greeted diligently and said: "Wang Geng has been helped by the young marshal many times, and I feel that there is nothing I can do in return. If the young marshal is willing to condescend to his humble residence and let Wang Geng fulfill his friendship as a landlord, I will be extremely gratified."
For Wang Geng’s sake, even though her motives may be impure, Zhang Hanqing couldn’t refuse. But this guy, asking Xu Zhimo to go to your house, isn't this inviting a wolf into the house?
"Mrs. Wang has spoken, don't you dare disobey me!" Zhang Hanqing agreed with a smile. He deliberately said the words "Mrs. Wang" just to remind a few people: Lu Xiaoman is a famous woman with a wife, and men with evil intentions should be aware of themselves.
With the mentality of striking while the iron is hot, Wang Geng took action on Lu Xiaoman’s behalf soon after. Originally, he was not interested in these things that seemed to be considered romantic, but his wife liked it, and he happened to be in Beijing, and there was a young commander there, so he did it once.
Under Lu Xiaoman’s guidance, he not only invited cultural celebrities of the same level as the Lin family last time, but also invited several military friends in Beijing. Of course, I won’t go into details as to which of these friends were invited because of interest and which were invited because of Zhang Hanqing’s dual relationship.
This is Lu Xiaoman’s happiest night after her wedding. She is no longer a famous lady of her mother's generation. She has received modern Western education, been influenced by the western wind for a long time, and has been involved in the social world for many years. She is used to living a life of being followed like a star. She knows what happiness and flying are, and she has Self-enlightenment made it impossible for her to return home and live like a caged bird.
Seeing his wife’s smile, Wang Geng smiled happily. However, he didn't see that next to him, Xu Zhimo's admiring and envious eyes were on the other side, and Zhang Hanqing's worried mood on the other side.
Will they have the same spark of love as in history? As a sober person on the scene, should I try to break this bad relationship or listen to the call of history? Are Wang and Lu Pei really happy? Without Xu Zhimo, wouldn’t there be Li Zhimo and Zhang Zhimo?
Since time travel, I have tried to break the development of history more than once, but in the overall situation, haven’t I still followed the general trend of history? Who can be right about emotional matters?
With this confusion, Zhang Hanqing spent an unforgettable night. However, before he could figure out what to do, his butt was already dirty.
It was just a polite visit to Liang Sicheng, but what happened next was very loud. The newspaper said that he was angry - "a rage for beauty", and sent someone to "instruct" President Li that he would not let it go. Jin Yongyan went to the commander-in-chief's mansion to apologize at night under the stars.??I was rejected It's so lifelike, where did all this happen? After all, Li Yuanhong is also the president. The word "instructions" to him is a wonderful use!
Some newspapers ignored the big news about Mr. Liang’s car accident, but focused on the conflict between the “little girl in a skirt” and Jin Yongyan. Since there were quite a few people marching that day, everyone in the circle knew who this "little girl" was. As for political figures, it would be remiss if they did not know about Yu Yifan's relationship with him.
On the other hand, when Jin Yongyan read in the newspaper that the girl who contradicted him was actually Yu Yifan, he quickly asked someone to apologize to him and pay tribute to Yu Yifan. Later, he came to apologize in person. At that time, he openly stated that he would not pursue the case.
The timeliness of newspapers is still amazing. No, it only took one day for his misdeeds to reach Shanghai. The famous newspaperman Zhang Jiluan satirized Zhang Hanqing in "Ta Kung Pao" and said: "Soldiers sacrifice their lives, generals fall in love; life's injustice ends here!"
Zhang Jiluan is a good friend of Chen Bulei. Seeing that the young marshal was under siege, Chen Bulei, as the director of the Central Propaganda Department of the People's Party, was deeply disturbed. He personally sent a message to Zhang Jiluan, praising Zhang Hanqing's tall image and warning him not to make wedding clothes for others. He rectified Zhang Hanqing's name.
But Zhang Jiluan believed that Chen Brai had lost his position. He wanted to stick to his "objective position" and believed that "journalists should be first-class politicians."
Shanghai is not under the jurisdiction of the People's Army. Chen Bulei could only scratch his lips and ask him to write from an "objective" standpoint. Zhang Hanqing could only laugh at this.
When the Anhui clique launched the "Anfu Congress", Shanghai's newspapers did not hesitate to ridicule them. Didn't President Xu Shichang have nothing to do with them? I remember that at that time I was still encouraging this kind of "freedom of reporting", but I didn't expect that as time passed, this wind would actually blow to me.
Then a Beijing tabloid did not hesitate to ridicule the closeness between him and Yu Yifan in a pornographic joke: "There is a garden on the lake, and there is scenery in the garden. The scenery is pleasant and joyful. When a husband and two wives share the same bed, they become an aunt and a nephew. Mandarin ducks, talking about old morals, propriety, justice and shame, living a new life of men stealing and women prostitutes."
Tidbits about politicians are very attractive. Although there are many untrue things in them, people in the circle know that the relationship between Yu Yifan and Yu Fengzhi is not unreasonable. It’s just that the writing style is too embarrassing!
It seems that during this period, we have been focusing on the military to gain a sense of presence, and we have not kept up with the grasp of public opinion. Not long after Fengjun entered Beijing, he personally arranged for the People's Party's mouthpiece "People's Party Daily" to open branches in Qinhuangdao and Tianjin. Now it seems that this is not enough. If you cannot occupy the ideological position, how can you block Youyou's mouth? It is now on the agenda to bring the Party's voice to Beijing.
With a "historical knowledge" that is beyond ordinary people, Zhang Hanqing came through time. After several years of practice, Zhang Hanqing's political methods have become quite superb. He was confused about the sudden direction of public opinion: In politics, there is no wind without waves. Where there is waves, there will be winds. He instructed the Beijing branch of the Central Investigation Department of the People's Party to investigate the source in detail, but found that the person who blew the whistle was someone directly related to him.
Thinking about the recent direct policy trends and what happened in history, he understood.
What a borrowed knife to kill someone!
??????????????? But just kill, it’s good for the Feng clan to make a fuss, right? Now the Zhili and Fengxi jointly manage Beijing, but since Beijing is the hometown of the Zhili, when I occasionally stay in Beijing, I have to worry all day long that one day the Zhili will suddenly attack and kill me. According to historical evolution, it would be better if the Zhili clique is finally defeated and there will be less internal fighting from now on. If the Zhili clique really agrees to establish a coalition government, it is not easy for me to attack them.
A dark wind blew up, disrupting Lu Xiaoman's happiness brought about by his successful salon discussion. As a lady from a well-known family, she could ignore other things, but this time someone was specifically trying to attract the young marshal to the love affair between men and women, which had to make her think twice. She originally wanted to take the opportunity to become popular and surpass Lin Huiyin to become the most prestigious hostess in Beijing.
It was Wang Geng who decided to adapt. He was originally a soldier and acted vigorously and resolutely. He believed that the best counterattack against these unfounded slanders is for you to say your thing and I will do mine. He originally only wanted to please his wife, but now he feels that continuing to hold this salon has a strong political meaning, which is a kind of silent resistance and strength of stance.
So people were surprised to see that the young marshal, who should be furious, was not moved by this evil trend at all, and acted as if nothing had happened. He leisurely attended his salon every day with Yu Yifan, who had become the center of attention.
He doesn’t want to see this kind of situation in China now. If you want to make waves, then go ahead and make trouble. If you defeat Li Yuanhong, Cao Kun will go into battle shirtless. Now, Zhili and Fengtian can definitely fight each other, as long as it is not the Fengtian faction that starts the war. If they don't fight, in the long run, the Feng system will be the sure winner; if they fight, they won't be frightened at all.
If it can evolve smoothly to defeat the Zhili clan, it will be a blessing for the country and the nation. He was determined to add fuel to the fire by ignoring it, and that would be enough.
“ Letting go because you are patriotic is different from giving up the competition with Liang Sicheng because you love Lin Hui. The former will be gained by giving up; while the latter will be lost forever.
As for Xu Zhimo, after being rejected by Lin Huiyin, he quickly adjusted his condition, which impressed Zhang Hanqing. There is no grass anywhere in the world, this guy is very open-minded. But, what does it mean that the rabbit doesn't eat the grass beside its nest, so he always comes to Lu Xiaoman's side? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The family is also a blessing.

Chapter 608 So idle that it hurts

The young commander's indifferent people seemed to be conniving at the Zhili's actions. After waiting and watching for a while, they resolutely sounded the charge. This time, the target was already targeting the administrative center.
On June 6, Gao Lingwei, a member of the direct cabinet of the Cao faction and a fellow countryman of Cao Kun, and others forced Prime Minister Zhang Shaozeng to lead the cabinet to resign collectively in the name of Li Yuanhong's infringement of cabinet powers, making it difficult for Li to issue decrees. This was a prelude to the collapse of the direct cabinet.
Because when the Zhizhi and Fengtian co-administered Beijing, power was concentrated in the hands of Jin Yunpeng's cabinet, and Prime Minister Jin obeyed the needs of the Fengcian clique, and most of his cabinet members also tended to favor the Fengcian clique. After both parties jointly expelled Xu Shichang, it was an expedient measure to replace Li Yuanhong with power. Zhang Hanqing agreed with him only because he believed that he could be accepted by all parties and could peacefully unite all parties to establish a unified central government.
But after the Sun Yat-sen government lost power, the central government still had a situation in which Beijing was jointly managed by the Central Government and the Central Government, and Li, the president, had no role. Moreover, he has returned to his old ways and has not learned the lesson of being driven away by Duan Qirui, and he has been changing cabinet members on a large scale.
Although the figures in the Feng clique have not changed, in order to promote his own people, he reached some opinions with the Zhili clique and replaced some of the socially virtuous and neutral people among the cabinet members with people from both sides, making the cabinet become either you or me, which is more. Fighting and lack of buffers lead to political instability.
If they had not worried about the Feng clique’s ability to “veto” this cabinet with one vote, Li Yuanhong and Zhang Shaozeng would have wanted to take over Sun Liechen’s position as Army Chief.
In fact, they don’t need to: Sun Liechen is the commander-in-chief, but Zhang Hanqing is worried that his death from illness will happen again in history, so he temporarily leaves the heavy workload of vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People’s Party to live in Beijing. This general manager needs people but no one, and he needs money but no money. He spends all day doing metaphysical things such as organization and planning. It is not interesting at all, but they think it is just delicious food!
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing concluded that it would be difficult for them to achieve great results, so he concentrated on cultivating the 17 provinces under his control and was completely disinterested in the central government. Otherwise, Li and Zhang would not have been able to create such a big momentum in the cabinet. However, even though the Feng faction kept silent, they did not dare to do so in the end. They just made Jin Yongyan the deputy chief of the army, which at least gained some reputation in the military circles.
Since he didn’t even have the consciousness to be a puppet, so the Zhili clique got up first and overthrew the cabinet. Zhang Hanqing was happy to see it happen and knew their thoughts, so it was much easier to handle. Anyway, if the government is to form a cabinet again without the approval of the clan, no matter who is nominated to form the cabinet or serve as the chief minister, it will be in vain.
The resignation of a cabinet prime minister was not uncommon in the Republic of China, but Zhang Zuolin still sent someone to ask Zhang Hanqing what he meant. This eldest son and chief think tank has a profound ability to win in chaos, and in politics, Zhang Zuolin has changed from belief to superstition. Since he is in Beijing, it would be better to entrust him with full authority to handle matters in Beijing. It is more convenient to be nearby. The key is to not delay things when the matter is urgent.
The direct line was in a hurry, so Li Yuanhong had no choice but to ask the Feng line for help. He asked Gu Weijun to form a cabinet. Because Gu Weijun was the young marshal's ally and close friend, and was the Minister-General of Foreign Affairs at the time, he had high hopes. If he is willing to come out, the Zhili Clique will not dare to cause any more rebellions, and the crisis will naturally be resolved. This is called "using barbarians to control barbarians."
Gu Weijun was a little tempted.
??It’s easy to say that the Prime Minister of the Republic of China should be: several chief ministers are responsible for their own affairs, major decisions are authorized by the president, and they usually accept questions from the Congress, which is mainly a matter of words.
Gu Weijun is a big brother in the diplomatic community, so it is not a problem to deal with these guys who are talking on paper. Feng Xi is the big boss. As long as he doesn't go overboard, and based on his relationship with the young marshal, as long as major issues don't go astray, there's no problem in serving as prime minister in a meaningful way.
Of course, you should ask the young commander for his opinion on such a big matter. Without his approval, the position of prime minister would be a crater. But Zhang Hanqing just smiled and chatted with him, but didn't get to the point.
?According to Gu Weijun’s intelligence, he should have understood what the young marshal meant, but he still couldn’t help but do something that could “pass on to future generations”. Prime Minister of a country!
He still pointedly asked Zhang Hanqing - they were also very familiar with each other in private: "Young Marshal, Song Qing (Li Yuanhong's nickname) suggested that I form the cabinet. I think this is also a good thing. I can take this opportunity to replace some of the direct officials People, put our people up. If we completely control the cabinet and have young marshals and old marshals working on the periphery, the whole of Beijing will be ours."
He is also smart. He first made his position clear: I am thinking about the Fengxian.
Zhang Hanqing doesn’t doubt this. Gu Weijun is not at the core of the Feng Faction, so it is normal for him not to understand his core policies. Besides, he has no way of knowing some of the secret arrangements. All he can see is superficial. Looking at his face full of expectations, I suddenly wanted to play tricks on him: This guy is not old, and his ambition is not small! Thirty years ago he wanted to be Prime Minister!
Gu Weijun is twelve years older than him and is now thirty-five years old. He thinks he is too young. Why didn’t he expect that he was only twenty-three years old and was already making waves in the political arena of the Republic of China? What about the characters?
Zhang Hanqing sat restlessly on the chair and squirmed his buttocks back and forth. Of course Gu Weijun wanted to express his concern: "What's wrong, young commander? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If you sit for a long time, your buttocks will always fall and hang, which will cause an unpleasant feeling."
"What's the meaning?"
"I'm so bored!"
The two looked at each other and laughed. This was a joke between men. Gu Weijun also understood and stopped mentioning it.
Zhang Hanqing, on the other hand, said to him seriously: "The intention of the Zhili clique to suddenly overthrow the government is obvious. They want to use legal means to achieve a goal that cannot be achieved militarily, so they are determined to win. I don't want you to get involved in this sewage now." . In this position, people from the Feng Clan cannot do it, and neither can people who have a good relationship with the Feng Clan.
The Zhili Clique is too strong in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area. I have decided to defend Tianjin with all my strength and let them have fun in Beijing. There will be big changes in Beijing in the near future. If possible, I hope you will keep a low profile and not stand out, or simply go to Tianjin with me. Anyway, the cabinet has been dissolved, and you can't be the foreign minister. "
For Zhang Hanqing, Gu Weijun was quick-thinking and capable. He performed extremely well in the negotiations on the Shandong issue in Paris. Later, he achieved outstanding results in a series of foreign exchanges and was recognized as the first-class diplomat of the Republic of China. Even the CCP He was also highly regarded. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong entrusted Zhang Hanzhi, a delegation to the United Nations General Assembly, to invite him to visit China. After his death, Li Luye, the representative to the United Nations, was sent to express his condolences in person, which fully demonstrated that his abilities were recognized by all political parties.
The Feng Faction has outstanding talents in various fields such as military, politics, strategy, and economy, but on the diplomatic front, it lacks a backbone figure. Historically, the reason why Mao Zedong was so great was that Premier Zhou, a leader in the diplomatic community, complemented him. He was already standing at the pinnacle of his times (although not the highest, because he was afraid of the wind and his waist was too strong) and needed help.
This was the first time that Gu Weijun heard Zhang Hanqing talk about the political situation from the bottom of his heart, and he knew that the situation was not as simple as he thought. He had always believed in the young marshal's political wisdom, and there was no need to lie to himself. If he simply doesn't want you to form a cabinet, you can just tell him directly: "I already like so-and-so." There is no need to go around such a big detour.
???????????????????? But it’s hard to see that the calm political scene in Beijing would have such hidden risks, and that it would make the young commander retreat? Whether to stay or go, he was lost in thought.
To be honest, he is not a loyal man, whether in marriage or career. Because he wanted to marry Tang Baoyue, the daughter of Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi, he made Zhang Hengshan, his "father-in-law by marriage" who had a keen eye for people and rekindled kindness, angry to death, and therefore made his betrothed since childhood become a nun; for the success of his career, he resolutely decided to marry Zhang Hengshan. After accepting the "one pound fate", he later married the ugly girl Huang Huilan, the richest overseas Chinese in England.
Of course, he has a sharp vision. Relying on the power of money and, of course, his own real ability, he became the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China not long after returning to China.
Beijing’s political scene is ups and downs, and Gu Weijun is pulling in all aspects: for those who lose for a while, Gu Weijun will provide support and “burn the cold stove”. If the loser comes back to power, of course Gu will become more popular. So much so that in history, before Gu Weijun formed a cabinet later, someone asked Zhang Shizhao: "Gu Shaochuan wants to form a cabinet, do you think it will become a reality?" Zhang Shizhao replied happily: "With Mrs. Gu's wealth, it is not difficult for Shaochuan to become president. More than just a Prime Minister!”
Soon after, he became the Prime Minister.
Even after the collapse of the Beiyang government in history, and so many celebrities withdrawing from the stage of history, he was still able to knock on Song Ziwen's door with great courtesy through his wife's route. From minister to ambassador, he once again became a celebrity in Chinese politics.
American scholar Mr. Tang Degang believes that he is one half of the "two and a half diplomats" since China's modern diplomacy. Because of his status as a professional diplomat, he is not as good as Zhou Enlai, who created a powerful country, or even not as good as Zhou Enlai, who was born into a new country. Li Hongzhang, the diplomat of a weak country at that time.
Zhang Hanqing waited quietly for his decision. This was a big issue of right and wrong and could not be replaced by personal friendship. If he continues to make no progress or retreat in the general direction, it is estimated that when the People's Party takes complete control of China, it will be the time for him to quit his career as a diplomat.
On the surface, he seemed to be in the political arena of the Republic of China like a fish in water. In fact, he understands that in the diplomatic field, he can still have a place with his qualifications, English background and excellent speech, but he is excluded from core issues such as formulating national policies and directions
In this short half-quarter of an hour of consideration, he thought of the tragedy at the Paris Peace Conference a few years ago, the hardships of signing the Shandong issue, and the constraints that warlord disputes have brought to China's diplomacy. Later, after the sudden rise of the People's Party and the People's Army, they became tough on Japan and Russia and exerted huge influence at home. There was a chance to realize his great power ambitions.
By following the young marshal, relying on the relationship between public and private, he can fully realize his ambition. In this case, it is necessary to keep advancing and retreating with him. He wanted to understand the matter, raised his head, smiled slightly and said: "It's a good idea to go to Tianjin, I'm so busy here!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and through a tacit understanding, they became lifelong friends.

Chapter 609: The whole world is in trouble and I am alone awake
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing is quite confident when he dares to regard the position of prime minister as trivial.
Looking across the country, the Feng clique has become the mainstay of the Republic of China. Its military power, political influence, and economic energy are all unmatched by all parties. Only in this way, the direct line and others only dare to do some small operations, and hope that they will not be detected by the Feng line.
The direct line, which already controls the lifeline of the central economy, can easily decide the establishment or collapse of the cabinet, and it does so without a fight. And with the current strength of Zhang and his son, it would be easy for them to get to the front desk.
Gu Weijun refused to form a cabinet, allowing the Zhili clique to expel former Prime Minister Zhang Shaozeng. The country cannot be without its owner for a day. Although the Prime Minister is in name only at this time, he is still the legitimate head of the government of the Republic of China. Easily overthrowing the predecessor, but unable to choose a successor, this is a bit deliberately creating chaos.
But it can’t be entirely blamed on Zhili, at least Cao Kun felt aggrieved.
Originally, Cao Kun and others had the idea of ??supporting other agents, but later they were unable to recommend a candidate to take over as prime minister - the Feng clique refused to take a position on all the candidates proposed by the Zhili clique. All the characters clearly see the situation and refuse to wade into the muddy waters, and those with weak influence cannot be helped - you can't find someone worse than Zhang Shaozeng, right? That's called a slap in the face!
Because the candidate for prime minister has been delayed, President Lebanese has encountered a rare power vacuum - without a cabinet, he, a president who is not worthy of his name, is even more ignored.
But the entire country is not paralyzed, because the Fengtian "National Unification Council" is quickly and efficiently exercising power on behalf of the central government. 17 provinces in the country are directly under the command, and the Beijing-Tianjin-Zhili and Fengcheng-Fengxi cliques are jointly managed. In addition, several key provinces controlled by the Zhili-clan are also private areas, and Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou are all self-contained. There is not much territory left for the central princes.
This time, Li Yuanhong really felt what "the decree does not leave Zhongnanhai"!
However, this cabinet reversal was initiated by the Zhili clique. The Feng clique’s attitude of neither supporting nor opposing any candidate made the outside world question: Does the Feng clique want to stand alone? Reminiscent of Zhang Zuolin's previous aggressive momentum, Yang Du, an important literati under Zhang Zongchang, the acting governor of Shandong who had turned to the Feng clique, once again advocated a constitutional monarchy. This has led to rumors from the outside world that Zhang Zuolin wanted to be the emperor himself. ?
This is definitely a beautiful cold joke.
After the Manchu Qing Dynasty lost its empire, especially after Yuan Shikai became the Hundred-Day Emperor, the imperial power was actually swept into the relics of history. No matter who tries to pick it up again, it will inevitably cause a scene. As for Zhang Xun's restoration, it can be seen as a reflection of the lingering poison of feudalism.
It doesn't matter if they make a fuss, but the adverse effects on China can be seen by all parties: the president appoints inhumane people, the cabinet changes like a revolving door, the Zhili system has become a source of instability, and the North and South Congresses are fighting among themselves all day long This is imitating Western methods. The result of cooking? The country has become like this, and there are no strong figures to unite all parties. The country is really not far away from being destroyed!
The country needs to rest and recuperate, and it needs a strong political power to unify political orders, unify military orders, and unify ideas.
Therefore, it is natural that the constitutional monarchy will once again be popular. No matter how bad the reputation of the emperor is, in China's thousands of years of history, its role in safeguarding national sovereignty is still remarkable. At least there are no disadvantages, except for some unusual agreements signed by the late Qing government in modern times. Outside the equality treaty, everyone blames the country's weakness and has nothing to do with the system.
The sudden rise of the Feng clique is a completely new phenomenon, showing a trend of coming from behind and unifying both the central and local governments.
As long as the Feng Department can make the country strong and the people wealthy, Zhang Zuolin is an emperor and Zhang Hanqing as the prince! I don’t know where this suggestion came from. Anyway, it got bigger and bigger, and finally it became a trend.
Not only do the upper echelons of the Fengxian family have no grudges about this, but they are happy to see it come to fruition.
In the eyes of many people, it is precisely because of Zhang Hanqing's enlightenment that this constitutional monarchy has a chance to be realized: judging from the past, as long as the country can realize the ideal of struggle proposed by the People's Party, if the Feng faction wins in the end, Zhang Hanqing may give up the current situation. If someone has the power to achieve complete destruction, then giving him a virtual king is the best result!
The market for this statement is still very strong. At least Zhang Zongchang sent people to be loyal to Zhang Hanqing.
Zhang Zuolin was also a little moved. Speaking of being an emperor, he had never dared to think about it because the seat was too far away from him and too high for him to climb. But now, he seems to be a monarch under his command, holding the power of more than half of China and the destiny of China. In terms of becoming emperor, he even had greater opportunities and encountered less resistance than Yuan Shikai.
The fortune teller said Zhang Han beforeIs this what Qing was implying when he said that Yu Fengzhi was Fengming?
Of course, Zhang Zuolin did not dare to tell anyone about his psychological activities, not even his closest friend Wang Yongjiang. Only when Zhang Hanqing returned to Fengtian for business, the father and son had a private chat.
“I don’t know whose idea it was to roast my Zhang family on the fire!” Zhang Hanqing looked very calm in the face of temptation.
On major issues, Zhang Zuolin has now developed the instinct to follow Zhang Hanqing's lead. It sounds ridiculous, but it's actually true.
In military affairs, Zhang Hanqing came from behind and quickly showed his extremely high talent, which definitely surpassed Zhang Zuolin, who had been a soldier all his life.
In terms of strategic planning, Zhang Hanqing was even better. Every major event he predicted was realized one by one. Many things were considered to be nonsense at the beginning, but in the end the evolution of facts and the development of history made all those who did not believe him slap in the face.
Believe in the young commander and get eternal life!
"Xiao Liuzi, do you think this is inappropriate?" Although Zhang Zuolin was exhausted, he still wanted to ask clearly: "Our current power is very powerful, I can guarantee that President Yuan Da did not reach our level! "
"Of course it's inappropriate!" Zhang Hanqing smiled.
"If it were before the Revolution of 1911, if we had the strength we have now, I fully support my father becoming emperor on behalf of the Qing Dynasty. Whether it is a constitutional monarchy or not, it is just a trick in the face of strength.
But after the emperor was overthrown, the thousands of years of sanctity it held in the hearts of the Chinese people had collapsed. Restoring this title would not bring us meaningful value. Instead, it would be like the farce of the restoration in the sixth year of the Republic of China. Let the hard-earned situation today go down the drain! I dare to say that as long as my father shows any sign, we will be drowned by the overwhelming saliva. I also dare to speculate that all our opponents and potential opponents will eagerly jump out to join forces to fight against us.
Although I believe we can win in the end, this is not worth celebrating, because it will destroy the last bit of vitality of the country, and Feng Xie will become the eternal sinner of the Chinese nation!
So now, I think the most important thing we should do is to promote the peaceful reunification of all parties to rebuild the country, and grasp the great justice in this process. In this way, no matter where it eventually evolves, Fengxian will always be in a righteous position. If we are united, I will have a dominant position; if we are divided, I can wave the banner to annihilate all directions.
Don’t worry about losing power, because I always believe in the saying, ‘Political power comes from the barrel of a gun’! "
The conversation made Lao Zhang very happy. Since being an emperor carries such great risks, the current position is better - isn't he the emperor of the emperor? He is the emperor of the three eastern provinces, Rehe, Xing'an and Mongolia. He is really the emperor of the country.
It’s actually pretty good now: every move in the central political arena must have Lao Zhang’s nod to take effect, and the president and prime minister are all puppets. When Lao Zhang turns his back, there is no need to use weapons. Just as the economy tightens, the cabinet cannot function normally. The feeling of being an emperor is actually very pleasant.
"Xiao Liuzi still sees far!" To be able to remain calm in the face of huge temptations, think about Yuan Keding, the son of President Yuan Da. He wanted to be the prince, but his father's judgment was interfered with all the time, resulting in a ruined reputation, an anticlimax, and a rip-off!
"I'm very pleased that you can think so. The current situation is that our Feng Faction is the dominant one. After three years and two years, the Feng army outside the Pass has been stabilized and your army has been well adjusted. We will attack from the north and the south with all our strength. His surname is Wu! As long as the surnamed Wu collapses, who in the whole country will dare to challenge our relationship?"
Zhang Zuolin was very interested. In fact, this strategy gathered the wisdom of the main civil servants and generals of the Feng Dynasty. Now the weather, location, people and people are all on Fengxi's side, the only difference is time.
It’s not that he is afraid of the Zhili clique, but Zhang Hanqing, who first proposed this strategy, feels that the current strength of the Zhili clique is very strong, and the People’s Army and Fengjun will not be sure of victory if they take action immediately, or the losses will exceed a certain limit. They are all Chinese, and they are all damaging the vitality of the Chinese nation. If victory comes at the cost of a tragic victory, Zhang Hanqing would rather take his time or avoid it.
When formulating the strategy, Zhang Hanqing was still the governor of Gansu.
However, the situation developed too rapidly, and the rapid development of the People's Army surprised even Zhang Hanqing himself. Because of this, some people in the Feng Department began to want to pick peaches now, even if they are very astringent.
Zhang Hanqing kept a clear head on this. It is not difficult to defeat Zhili, the difficult thing is how to end it. Now, because they put the Zhili in the foreground, the Fengxi and themselves can make a fortune and avoid all domestic and foreign interference.
When the Zhili clique comes to an end, it won’t matter if the Feng clique doesn’t come to power. At that time, how could a Fengcian faction, which had suffered a tragic victory and was strong on the outside and incompetent on the inside, face the challenges of the great powers and the chaotic situation at home? Follow the old path of Beiyang politics? impossible! Its national system and political system are so different from Zhang Hanqing's expectations that it is almost impossible to reconcile them.
At this stage, someone still needs to be at the forefront to maintain a relatively peaceful situation. Developing industry cannot be achieved overnight, and the construction of a modern army cannot rely solely on strict discipline. The development of equipment cannot be separated from the level of industry, especially heavy industry.
He needs time, so he urges Zhang Zuolin to use force to ensure peace at this stage. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Challenges from the great powers and domestic chaos?

Zhang Zuolin agrees with this. Xiao Liuzi is even more eager to seek stability than his middle-aged and elderly uncle. For politicians, this is a good thing.
Therefore, the "National Unification Committee" headed by Zhang Zuolin took the lead in telegraphing the whole country, aiming at "peaceful reunification", asking Sun Yat-sen, local forces, and parties to stop their disputes and gather in Beijing to participate in national affairs. In order to look forward to establishing a coalition government that unifies military and civil affairs, finance and diplomacy.
After the first Zhili-Fengtian war in official history, the Fengtian clique was defeated and withdrew from the pass. Then Cao Kun, the leader of the Zhili clique, bribed the president, and the Feng clique took the initiative to carry out the second Zhili-Fengtian War. Feng Yuxiang, a senior general under the Zhili clique, took the opportunity to launch the "Beijing Coup" to oust Cao from power. On New Year's Day in 1925, Sun Yat-sen went to Beijing to participate in state affairs at the joint invitation of Feng and Zhang.
However, he died of illness on March 25 due to health reasons. Since then, the Kuomintang has been leaderless and split into local forces such as the "Xishan Conference Faction", the Hu Hanmin Faction, the Wang Jingwei Faction, the Sun Ke Faction, and Guangdong and Guangxi soldiers Chen Jitang and Li Zongren. Then Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and others who supported Chiang either divided or merged, and powerful local factions fought with the central government again, allowing the Japanese to take advantage of the opportunity.
Thanks to Zhang Hanqing’s efforts, the rolling wheel of history has finally changed somewhat according to his efforts. At this time and space, there was no Zhili-Fengtian war, but the People's Army, a branch of the Fengtian clique, seized the flag and cut off the flag, and had great say in the political arena.
At the warm invitation of Zhang Hanqing, Sun Yixian, who after arriving in Shanghai "specialized in party affairs", devoted himself to the reorganization of the Chinese Revolutionary Party, and organized the theoretical publication "Construction" with Liao Zhongkai, Zhu Zhixin and others, happily left Shanghai for Beijing to prepare for the National Conference.
The two direct leaders, Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, who were looking forward to fighting against the various factions (especially the Feng faction) and maintaining their influence on the situation in the north, were caught off guard by Zhang Zuolin's power supply. Although there was a bit of hostility and panic towards Sun Yat-sen's arrival, he had to make a gesture and electrify to welcome Sun Yat-sen to the north.
Faced with various speculations and suspicions within the party, as well as doubts about his safety considerations in going north, Sun Yat-sen faced it calmly with the great courage of a revolutionary, regardless of life and death, and took the Madame Song Qingling took a special train to go north.
Eleven years ago in 1912, as the interim president of the Republic of China, he relied on "overthrowing the autocratic government of Manchuria, consolidating the Republic of China, and pursuing people's livelihood and happiness until the autocratic government fell, the Republic of China stood out in the world, that is, He took the oath to "remove the office of interim president" and went to Beijing in person to interview Yuan Shikai and expressed to Yuan that he would withdraw from politics and build China's railways.
In August of that year, through the mediation of Song Jiaoren, the Tongmenghui merged with the United Republican Party, the Kuomintang Association, and the Kuomintang Party, and was reorganized into the Kuomintang.
On the 25th of that January, Sun Yat-sen was elected as chairman at the founding conference of the Kuomintang held in Beijing. However, Sun Yat-sen "never wanted to be in politics, but only wanted to be a free citizen", so he appointed Song Jiaoren as acting chairman. And he serves as the manager of China Railway Corporation, which is headquartered in China. I have never set foot in Beijing since then.
Now that I have returned to my hometown, things have changed and people have changed, and the past life is reflected in front of my eyes like a dream.
Since it coincided with the resignation of Zhang Shaozeng, the cabinet chief, his unexpected move northward was said by some newspapers with ulterior motives as "an intention to take over the cabinet." Spreading falsehoods has led many people to believe them to be true.
With his prestige, it is not difficult to become prime minister. With Zhi and Feng in control of the overall situation, he will be in charge of the cabinet, and the three largest forces in China will be "unified" together. It is really a good combination to stabilize China's political arena, but they can't imagine it.
“Political struggle is cruel and ruthless, and he has deeply confirmed this truth during his many years of political career. The Zhili clique would not be stupid enough to make wedding clothes for him, but with the shrewdness of the Feng clique boy Zhang Hanqing, how could he make it big smoothly? Thoughts and feelings are one thing, politics is another, and sometimes it is not based on one's own will.
I noticed that Zhang Hanqing was still in the 6th year of the Republic of China. This 17-year-old son, known as the "Young Marshal", although he came from a big warlord family, had trendy ideas and advocated dish cooking. At the low ebb of his revolution, he was extremely pleased to hold high the banner of "Three dishes to cook justice".
As the eldest son of the Northeast King Zhang Zuolin, his influence is very huge. The news from his Kuomintang cadres in the Northeast praises Zhang Hanqing positively. The great achievements and development potential that the Northeast New Deal has shown often make him envious. . He also assigned Li Zhangda to inspect Soviet Russia via Heilongjiang to investigate the real situation firsthand, and he also received positive reviews.
For the sake of the country, Zhang Hanqing resolutely sent troops to regain Mongolia and solved the major disaster that affected the country's unity. It also showed his sense of responsibility and patriotism for being loyal to the country. His subsequent performance shocked the people of the time. Zhang Hanqing first conquered Gansu and then took advantage of the war in Anhui.At this time, they decisively captured Shaanxi, and then used autonomy as a guise to conquer Hubei, Hunan, and Anhui in just a few months, and succeeded one after another.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? However, the situation is over at this time, unless Zhili provokes a war. However, the forces that had just annexed the Anhui Clan are still being digested, and the Feng Clan is not that easy to deal with. Therefore, even Wu Peifu, a political veteran, bowed his hands in this situation and allowed the People's Army to drive Chen Tiaoyuan away.
This has dealt a heavy blow to the prestige of the Zhili clique, and even the reputation of a tough guy like Wu Peifu has been dimmed.
Unexpectedly, before he could laugh at others, he himself was in trouble. The People's Army took advantage of the situation and occupied his hometown of Guangdong. Then he dared to attack him tit for tat, and won the reputation of a "real cannon". When public opinion did not condemn the other side as one-sided as he expected, he knew that the People's Party's position was already very solid.
The Kuomintang has no military left, and has no choice but to enter the stage of "civilian struggle". This is its strength and the only method at present.
It is also this young marshal who is not afraid of Japan's powerful enemy and dares to fight. No matter what the motivation is, his idea of ????all-out war and people's war is very correct. The government under the People's Army has completed the transformation from military government to training government. Following this trend, he also foresees that the People's Party will be in power in the future without any doubt - this is certain.
“When that day comes, the Kuomintang will have nothing to do with it.
As for whether the People’s Army will have the courage to put down its power after the one-party dictatorship and reach another ideal stage of “constitutional government” to completely realize universal elections, he cannot predict. Can the People's Party lead China's revolution according to his ideas? He didn't dare to hope.
So he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of peace talks between the parties and the good opportunity of the Kuomintang to dominate the Congress to make a difference.
So he quickly grabbed the olive branch offered by Zhang and his son. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Li Yuanhong felt bitter in his heart at this moment. Duan Qirui fell. As a remnant of the Beiyang faction, he was in a very embarrassing situation:
On the one hand, the two most powerful factions in Beijing, Zhizhi and Fengfeng, forced him to resign and set up a new puppet. Since the death of Yuan Shikai, the first president of the Republic of China, he has stepped down in times of crisis, only to step down hastily. After the immediate president Feng Guozhang and the Anhui president Xu Shichang turned around one after another, it was his turn to mount the horse again, which was also a great miracle in the Republic of China.
This time, various forces gathered in Beijing to work on the so-called "state affairs" and made it clear that they wanted to remove him from the position of president in the name of legal rule, but he was powerless.
The Zhili clique wanted to force themselves to step down. Among the pro-Cao faction activists, Feng Yuxiang fought in the first line, instructing army officers to surround the Presidential Palace and the State Council every day to demand military pay.
He gradually couldn't stand the military force to force him into the palace. The day before, he had submitted his resignation request to Congress, but Congress under direct control postponed the vote on the grounds that something unusual had happened. In fact, it was because Sun Yat-sen's trip to the north happened unexpectedly, and the people directly involved were not ready yet.
Originally, his coming to power was a big conspiracy, or a conspiracy. As the core figure of the so-called "Legal Reunion", Li Yuanhong was the legal president after Yuan Shikai's death. He was the legal president elected by the first Congress established by Yuan Shikai in accordance with the "Organic Law of the Congress of the Republic of China". He was only forced to do so during Zhang Xun's restoration. It was disbanded, but Duan Qirui refused to resume it after he came to power, so the "Dharma Protector Movement" came into existence.
The Chinese people pay attention to "orthodoxy". To drive away Xu Shichang and welcome back Li Yuanhong, in order to restore the interrupted legal system of the Republic of China and realize the "revival of the legal system," Li Yuanhong, a figure who "connects the past and the future," is indispensable.
Originally, according to Wu Peifu’s plan, it was natural to wait until the end of the presidential term in September, and then legally “elect” Cao Kun through congressional elections.
He calculated that although the Feng clique was large, it still had no influence among the members of Congress in Beijing. As long as Cao Kun is legal and backed by the Zhili clique of considerable strength, he will not be able to compete with the Feng clique with the spirit of "holding the emperor to order the princes".
It’s just that Li Yuanhong was unwilling to be manipulated. Starting this year, he supported Zhang Shaozeng in forming a cabinet, trying to join forces with the government and the Yuan Dynasty to “unify first and then go to the general election.” He also told the Bolivarian congressmen to say that “according to the law, the presidential term must be extended until 1925.” It's over" The wind was going in the wrong direction, which made Cao Kun anxious and prepared to step down early, and then he did something disgraceful.
After the request to Gu Weijun to form a cabinet was rejected, Yan Qinghui, another favorite, also saw the situation clearly and politely refused, leading to a state of anarchy for several days. Beijing military and police representatives held a meeting at the Chantan Temple Army Review Office and said "angrily": "The president has the right to support congressmen and politicians, but our soldiers who work hard, bleed, and defend the country and the people have not been paid for several months. , which made us so poor that we couldn’t even eat, so we had to settle the score with him!”
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Feng Yuxiang, the Army Commissioner, is Cao Kun’s loyal supporter. How much of the “public opinion” of his officers and soldiers is true? In order to achieve the "icing on the cake" effect, Zhang Hanqing actually ordered the salary of his direct officers and soldiers to be cut off - Army Chief Sun Liechen and Finance Chief Pan Fu were both members of the Political Bureau of the People's Party.
This group of people united the 9th, 11th, and 13th Divisions of the Beijing Garrison and representatives of the Infantry Commander, Yijun, and Police Department. A total of more than 500 people, wearing uniforms and sabers on their waists, went to the government office to demand that the President pay back wages.
On the 8th, more than a thousand refugees formed a "citizen group" rally to demand Li Yuanhong's resignation.
On the 9th, the Beijing police announced a strike. Army inspection envoy Feng Yuxiang and Gyeonggi garrison commander Wang Huaiqing jointly wrote to Congress and the diplomatic corps (foreign missions in China) expressing their willingness to use soldiers to maintain order.
This is essentially the beginning of the Zhili military’s sole control of Beijing.
In this regard, Li Yuanhong very much hopes that Feng Xi will categorically oppose it. According to the previous agreement, Nanyuan and Beiyuan are the garrison of the Zhizhi and Fengcheng armies respectively. Unless specially agreed, the two sides are not allowed to enter Beijing, leaving only a small number of neutral garrison troops and police in the political area to maintain public order. For senior officials from both sides, their guards are allowed to be stationed, but the number shall not exceed 300 people.
If Fengxi objects in this way, Zhili should also worry about going against its purpose.
Strangely enough, Zhang Hanqing, who has always been tough, gave up his plan to be honest with his direct relatives. He was also planning to move the belongings from the Commander's Mansion in Beijing to Tianjin. When important central figures of the Fengcian faction, including Sun Liechen, Pan Fu and Liu Shangqing, three members of the Political Bureau of the People's Party Central Committee and Wang Naibin, the fourth party chief, all left Beijing and returned to Tianjin after resigning, their actions were particularly suspicious.
This is a prelude to retreat, but it is completely unnecessary!
But when the news came out that the young marshal was planning to marry Miss Gu in Tianjin, everyone was relieved. It's not that the young marshal doesn't care about the political situation in Beijing, it's that he is too affectionate.
Because the diplomatic corpsThere was no consensus on whether to organize an "international committee" to assist the Beijing government in "organizing" finances, so they sent the leader of the mission, the Portuguese Minister to China, Fulide, to comfort the Chinese head of state Li Yuanhong who was staying in Dongchang Hutong, and said bluntly Tell him: "When this happens in a foreign country, it is called a coup The diplomatic team is willing to do its best to protect the safety of President Lebanese."
The matter became so big that the mission notified the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing with a formal letter, expressing concern about the military and police strike. Therefore, for the safety of foreigners, "foreign soldiers are planned to patrol the streets." This caused the pro-Cao faction to panic, and then Let the police "automatically return to duty" at night.
If foreigners were allowed to maintain order, how could he "militarily admonish" President Lebanese?
Zhang Hanqing is watching this farce with a cold eye. Doesn’t he just want to force Li Yuanhong to resign? I have removed all obstacles for you, why is it still in such chaos?
He knows exactly what Cao Kun thinks. Has history told him? Doesn’t he just want to be president? Li Yuanhong only expires in three months. Are you in a hurry? His plea: "Come according to the law, leave according to the law." has made many people in Beijing, Tianjin and other places look down on Zhili.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…
There are also people in the direct line who understand. Wu Peifu is a tycoon after all. He sent representative Li Zhuozhang to express his attitude on his behalf and solemnly declared to Wang Huaiqing and Feng Yuxiang: "All activities must be carried out within the track, and do not be impulsive and let the 'old handsome' earn a thousand years of infamy. " Wu Peifu also stated that he would not participate in this political wave.
However, as soon as the news of Sun Yat-sen's journey to the north came out, Li Yuanhong's situation immediately improved: no one urged him to resign, the military and police stopped clamoring for military pay, and the petition group also shut down.
"In fact, if Zhang Hanqing hadn't disrupted time and space with a gentle wave of his hand, he would have packed up and left two days later. Sun Yixian's coming to Beijing was both a reminder and a life-saving talisman for him.
Driving out Li Yuanhong, and not reaching consensus on the selection of agents, is very likely to give Sun Yat-sen an advantage. With Sun Yat-sen's reputation, once he takes over as president for a few months, his abilities and the interests of the Kuomintang may allow him to take advantage of the situation. He is not easy to bluff, Li Yuanhong, who has no power but has a position, will suffer if he loses his tail.
That’s why the exorcism operation was urgently stopped. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 614 Leniency for confession

Regardless of right or wrong, Zhang Hanqing has decided not to get involved in those things in Beijing.
The Zhili's approach is exactly the same as in history. Even though he has turned the clouds and avoided the first war between Zhili and Fengcheng and tightened the Zhili's territory and strength, the result is still irreversible and slides into a scene that he has never wanted to happen: After forcing Cao Kun into the palace, Cao Kun came to power through abnormal means, and then all parties used all means to defeat him.
The general trend of history is still moving forward along its existing inertia. Although some people have changed at certain times, everything remains the same where they cannot influence it.
It’s already a certainty, so why bother blindly worrying about the ancients? Li Yuanhong had no friendship with him, and everyone in his immediate circle had no good impressions of him either. If two people fight each other, then let’s fight.
So when Beijing was in full swing, the backbone of the Feng clique basically withdrew from Beijing and set up camp in Tianjin. As one of the pillars of the Republic of China, it was impossible not to alarm the central factions with such a big news of the large-scale withdrawal of the Feng clan, but Zhang Hanqing had a very good reason: to get married.
"I have been together with Gu Ruiyu for half a year. I am afraid that only a girl like Gu Ruiyu is willing to do such a shameless thing. It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that it's too difficult to talk to Yu Fengzhi.
I remember that Zhang Hanqing made a special trip to the Marshal’s Mansion in Shenyang for this matter. We haven't seen each other for months, but with Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Huang here, a touch of tenderness is inevitable.
Being prepared to do something wrong, Zhang Hanqing was naturally considerate of Feng Zhi. Huang Wanqing doesn't need to pay attention to it. Firstly, her identity is no better than Yu Fengzhi. Secondly, she is a woman who is used to being submissive. After the matter is completed, she probably only needs to say routinely: "I will introduce you to the new sister." .
Yu Fengzhi is a very careful person. As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, he will become a monster. He had just recovered from a serious illness. With Huang Wanqing, a lovely wife, there was no way it would be his turn to bear his affection - this was how he showed off his efforts when Huang Wanqing came into the house.
But she had made up her mind that she would never ask unless Zhang Hanqing told him. She had already secretly decided not to interfere with Zhang Hanqing's romantic interests, but Zhang Hanqing's hesitant expression told her that he must have something to say. Could it be that Yu Yifan was eaten tofu? Otherwise, why would it be so difficult to find someone like a wife? At the beginning, he wanted Huang Wanqing to come into his house, but he justifiably made the request to himself!
In fact, she didn’t know that it was because of Huang Wanqing’s incident that Zhang Hanqing had a huge psychological pressure on her, which also made him only moved by beautiful women outside but did not dare to go beyond the limits.
"It's easy to get in but hard to get out. If you can't get married, you're just acting like a hooligan." As long as the relationship with the other party is just an affair, something can happen to the "Company Commander" who is already a wife, and the widowed Huang Ruqing, but the key point is that Gu Ruiyu is a daughter, and so is Yu Yifan. Once this incident comes out, how will they behave again!
This also explains why Zhang Hanqing is only interested in sex but not courageous: responsible men are under pressure to have affairs.
My husband didn’t want to say anything, so naturally the people around him, Yu Yifan, would be called in for careful questioning. But seeing Yu Yifan's spirituality and pure eyes, based on intuition, she is still a girl.
Even if there is no real relationship between the two, Yu Fengzhi will not be fooled by her innocent face. The private ambiguity between Yu Yifan and Zhang Hanqing has gone beyond the kinship between uncle and niece. Yu Fengzhi is familiar with the little actions between them, especially Yu Yifan's inadvertent actions. This is also why she accepted the "joy". Said subconscious reaction.
"I have already personally agreed to the matter between them. Maybe my husband just wants to mention this matter this time?" Also, Yu Yifan is already a twenty-year-old girl. If she is always tired of being together, she will inevitably have some ideas. She knew very well who her husband was, and was never confused about important matters, but it was difficult for her to control women.
Since you have agreed, let’s make it clear. So Yu Fengzhi secretly called Yu Yifan to him and said tactfully: "You are old now. It's time to think about things with Han Qing. I will go back to Zhengjiatun at the end of the month to finalize the date and discuss it later." "How to arrange marriage?" Yu Yifan blushed and said aggrievedly: "Isn't this what my uncle was talking about when he came back He wants to marry Sister Gu into the family"
It’s not Yu Yifan! When did you meet Sister Gu again? Looking at Yu Yifan's angry little mouth, Yu Fengzhi couldn't even laugh or cry. He also expected her to be a check on his behalf and fulfill the rights and obligations of a great lady. Unexpectedly, it was in vain that he did not tell her, and it also increased the number of people in Zhang Hanqing's harem.
No wonder Zhang Hanqing has been so diligent in the past two days. It turns out that this is the crux! Let me tell you, if something goes wrong, it will be a monster!
It is impossible for her not to understand the "sister" who is about to become her.?She said angrily: "When did Sister Gu appear? What does she do?" There was no need to modify his established policies, but he just didn't talk to her about everything after doing it. This was a bad attitude!
Yu Yifan told the truth. She recounted all the things she saw about Gu Ruiyu and Zhang Hanqing getting acquainted, familiar with each other, getting along with each other, and the embarrassing things one by one. Of course, the detailed description part will be left out briefly. Although she had concerns about Gu Ruiyu, it did not hinder her feelings for her younger uncle, so she tried her best to keep the relationship between them on a higher level.
Originally it was Zhang Hanqing who took the initiative to pick up a girl, but it turned out that he got in touch with Gu Ruiyu because he wanted to get to know people in the Tianjin business community.
Knowing the whole story, Yu Fengzhi did not break out as much as Yu Yifan imagined: after her husband refused to "come to happiness", her psychology also changed a lot, and she was no longer limited to her husband's philandering.
He has been ill for a long time, he is far away from Beijing and Tianjin, and he is still full of energy. It is inevitable that he will have some thoughts among the Hongfenzhi group. As long as he still treats her well, it is enough. My father-in-law has had six wives, and if my husband has this condition, it is not uncommon for him to marry several wives. Living in this era, there is nothing we can do about it.
Han Qing made many advanced policies and programs, but he only retained the explanation about concubines in the "Marriage Law" of the early Republic of China. Why didn't the people next to him understand his little thoughts?
She is irritating and ridiculous. If the outside world knew that this young marshal, who was all-powerful in the military and political circles, was troubled by the issue of taking concubines, would they think that her wife was too overbearing? And the husband's refusal to say anything is not a sign that he still has true feelings for him?
Am I such a jealous person?
When Zhang Hanqing came to her again and wanted to use a beauty trick to achieve his ulterior purpose, Yu Fengzhi deliberately said: "Hanqing, I always feel that you are doing something wrong this time. People say that you are so courteous continuously. Either adultery or theft.”
Zhang Hanqing sighed in his heart: "I don't want to steal" But he said: "You think too much. I haven't seen you for a long time and miss you."
If he hadn’t already known the answer, Yu Fengzhi would have almost passed out from happiness. However, when Zhang Hanqing still wanted to give up with his pipa half-hidden, Yu Fengzhi couldn't help but get angry: "Stop beating around the bush, don't you just want to marry your sister Gu into your family? "
Zhang Hanqing was shocked: "You know everything?!"
Yu Fengzhi said angrily: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. You have done everything, and you still think that others are pretending to be deaf and dumb? Am I the kind of person who can't tolerate others? Your sister Wanqing , I’ve entered the handsome man’s house as you wished!”
Zhang Hanqing was overjoyed. Once the biggest worry in the past six months was solved, he felt so happy! It turned out that I was really being lenient if I had confessed. If I had known better, I wouldn't have had to worry about it for so long. I have been suffering for so long in vain.
After saying "happy", the Yu family has made it clear that they accept his relationship with Yu Yifeng, and Yu Fengzhi's approval also gave him reassurance. If it hadn't been for a series of recent events, he would have married Gu Ruiyu and then made a move on Yu Yifan - he would have already started showing off to Yifan. Judging from Yu Yifan's attitude of refusing to give up, it can be seen that raw rice can be cooked into cooked rice.
But it is not his character to always give up. Especially in the Republic of China, he can take concubines, but he cannot ruin the body of a young girl and turn her back on her. That would be too irresponsible to the other party. Unlike modern times, this thing is very common and people can accept it psychologically He wants to marry Gu Ruiyu first, and things have to be resolved one by one.
Of course, the so-called marriage only made the identity of Gu Ruiyu's concubine clear.
He was thinking about how to explain this to Yu Fengzhi. Gu Ruiyu didn't figure it out, he couldn't attack Yu Yifan, and Yu Yifan's family situation also gave him a headache about Yu Yifan's identity in the future. Gu Ruiyu could accept her as his concubine with peace of mind, but Yu Yifan felt that the status of concubine could not match her aura. Maybe this is called having the same person but different destiny?
It seems that Yu Fengzhi has a sweet dream of letting himself have two beauties embracing each other. She has many methods, and she will definitely be able to come up with a good idea to give Yu Yifan a status. After all, she is her niece. Thinking of this, the problem that had been bothering him for a long time seemed to have a solution. His whole body felt so peaceful that he didn't know where the spring came from.
Unexpectedly, Yu Fengzhi said slowly: "But, we don't have many rooms in the Marshal's Mansion, and we can't accommodate any more sisters. I think the matter between you and Sister Gu can be handled outside—— It's not that I don't agree with her coming in, it's just that Yifan's matter is a bit worrying, and our Yu family still needs the face.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off, you make a routine. Isn't she from Tianjin? You might as well make Tianjin your foreign residence. If you have older sisters in the future, you can do the same thing. Of course, I won't stop her from entering the Marshal's Mansion if she wants to, but you may need to build some high-rise buildings, otherwise you won't be able to accommodate so many people in the future! "
Zhang Hanqing begged for mercy repeatedly with a playful smile. I was originally worried about how to confess Gu Ruiyu's matter, but I didn't expect to kill two birds with one stone, and even Yu Yifan also solved it. After getting the support of the first wife, can we find an opportunity to win over her too? It's time to think about this matter. Having that watery look hanging around you makes people feel more anonymous.

Yu Fengzhi’s ideas are very thoughtful. In any case, now that the Republic of China has been civilized, marrying an aunt and nephew together is still a huge source of pressure for the new leader Zhang Hanqing. If we can accomplish good things with Yu Yifan without leaving Shenyang, it will be easy for everyone.
This marriage with Gu Ruiyu in Tianjin did not "alert" anyone in the Marshal's Mansion in Shenyang at all. It was also a breakthrough. Yu Yifan will be seen again at a certain time and somewhere in the future.
Gu Ruiyu was satisfied. Although she also wanted to legitimately enter the Marshal's Mansion in Shenyang, she still chose the latter between a Chinese and Western wedding in Tianjin and a concubine ceremony in Shenyang.
Naturally, Zhang Hanqing and the others used the wedding preparations as an excuse to avoid the hustle and bustle in Beijing. Tianjin is not far from Beijing and has convenient transportation. Every move here can have a profound impact on the ancient capital. In particular, Feng clique figures gathered in Tianjin, which inevitably caused part of the central affairs to be transferred here.
The Feng Faction is still one of the largest financial backers and Optimus Prime of the Central Committee. Without the support of the Feng Faction, the Central Committee will not be able to survive for a day.
Although several chief ministers of the Feng Clan resigned in the "caretaker cabinet" and Caretaker Prime Minister Zhang Shaozeng reappointed several chief ministers, everyone knows that these newly appointed chief ministers are either supporters of the Feng Clan and have already made it clear that they are leaning towards the Feng Clan. , or he is a good old man who will not oppose the established policy of the original clique at all.
Therefore, the Feng clique retreated in order to advance, so that the Zhili clique did not dare to take action against its original part. With the young marshal's methods, who knows whether the Feng clique wanted to test the central officials?
There is another reason for retreating at this time: diplomatic issues.
On February 24 at the beginning of the year, the ministers of the eight countries stationed in China sent a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, requesting that the Boxer Indemnity be paid at the gold price.
The initiator of this drama was France. Because of the depreciation of the franc, they were unwilling to accept the loss, so they took the lead in demanding compensation in equal amounts based on the gold price of the Boxer Year, which is the so-called "French Gold Franc Case". Considering the surge in gold prices, this will undoubtedly cost the Chinese government tens of millions in additional burden.
Historically, China was unable to avoid this additional loss despite Xu Shuzheng’s many foreign objections, and there was no such thing as a “golden franc” in France.
Zhang Hanqing does not consider repaying this amount. He even wants to find ways to continue the benefits of "delayed payment of Gengzi indemnity" since China declared war in World War I - even though the World War I has ended several years ago. If the Feng Faction cannot provide this money, other factions will naturally not pay for it, which makes the Republic of China cabinet rely more heavily on the Feng Faction. Therefore, there was a saying in the political circles at that time: "If the CCP sneezes, the central government will be punished."
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If the ministers from various countries want money without being able to come forward, they can only negotiate with the specific yamen. Without orders from above, naturally nothing will be discussed. Zhang Hanqing used the word "drag" to make the Chinese officials participating in the talks understand. One thing is often discussed for many days. Suddenly, because of one thing, the person participating in the negotiation steps down and another person is replaced to start over.
It was okay at first, but the cabinet of the Republic of China changed many times like a revolving lantern, with different people in charge of different agencies each time, so the talks were always renegotiated and renegotiated until foreign friends got angry. What the British minister said about "co-administration of China" as a "remedy for China's chaos" was that he spoke out of frustration because he couldn't stand the endless negotiations.
Without a unified government, you don’t know who to ask for money from! Is it because all countries except Japan acquiesce in China's reunification? Is this the reason? The Zhili clique, which already controls Beijing by itself, does not dare to take over all matters concerning the cabinet. I am afraid this is also the reason?
No matter what, Zhang Hanqing took a rare long break. He originally had a base in Tianjin, but now it has become the Tianjin Provisional Party Headquarters of the People’s Party. His marriage to Gu Ruiyu was held here.
Although everyone knows that she is just a concubine taken by the young commander, the scene is still not inferior to that of a famous matchmaker. Even when Yu Fengzhi married into the Zhang family, it was not so glamorous. You must know that at first it was only the marshal of Liaoning Province who married his daughter-in-law, but now he is in charge of the marriage of the marshal of 17 provinces, even if it is a concubine!
Weddings and funerals are originally a place for Chinese people to express alternative emotions, and they are also an important aspect of Chinese social interaction. Since June 20, guests from all walks of life have come to express their congratulations in an endless stream. Famous actresses from Beijing and Tianjin, such as Mei Lanfang and Liu Xikui, are old friends of Zhang Hanqing, especially Liu Xikui. It was Zhang Hanqing who rescued her from Duan Yangxing's harassment, and now they all come to support her.
Even Pu Dong and Yuan Kewen also volunteered to participate in this makeshift but definitely worthy of the Republic of China Peking Opera event. For three days in a row, there was lively music, playing, and singing.
In this peaceful scene of singing and dancing, Gu Ruiyu temporarily forgot the unpleasantness caused by the teachings of her future father-in-law Zhang Zuolin.
?Historically, Gu Ruiyu came from a poor family when she was young and entered a theater to study opera. After learning the "Dakouluozi" (i.e., Pingxi opera), due to the early death of her parents, she went to her sister Gu Ruixin who was far away in the Northeast and switched to Pihuang (Pihuang), a popular opera in Guandong. That is Peking Opera).
Later, she was robbed by bandits and became the wife of Yazhai. She was rescued by Zhang Xueliang who came to suppress the bandits and got to know her. Because of this, it has always been difficult for her to get into Feng Zhi's eyes. If Zhang Hanqing hadn't been infatuated with her beauty, his second wife would not have such a famous reputation. Even so, there are few legends about her in history - her origins are far from elegant.
Fortunately, under the golden finger of Zhang Hanqing who traveled through time, the banditry in Northeast China did not become a problem in the end. Gu Ruiyu also escaped this bad luck and went to college with the support of her sister. But even so, her history as an actress made it difficult to elevate her status, even though she had a dignified appearance and learned to speak fluent English.
The young marshal’s wife also demands respectability!
So even if Yu Fengzhi finally agreed to Zhang Hanqing's marriage to her, Zhang Zuolin, as his father, had nothing to say to his philandering son, but still gave her three rules: "No singing on stage, no public appearances, no political involvement."
The last one is understandable. This is the tradition of the Zhang family. Even the official wife Yu Fengzhi does not dare to blow political pillow wind, let alone a Mrs. Ru? But the first two things bothered Gu Ruiyu. She understood that the handsome man wanted to gradually lose people's attention to her by reducing her appearance in the camera. This was also a way to protect her.
On the contrary, Zhang Hanqing knew her distress and understood the spiritual emptiness caused by her later inactivity, which led to the discord between the two parties. Both men and women need to manage their marriage. Unlike Yu Fengzhi, it was because of the deep-rooted influence of tradition that he could endure decades of loneliness and still have a deep love for him later in history.
He has arranged a good way out for her: she will continue to study in college after marriage, and after graduation, she will enter Nankai University to be responsible for the establishment of the Conservatory of Music. Compared with hanging out with a bunch of unpopular actors at that time, doing these things in the palace of music seemed more noble, and it could also be called: cultivating temperament. This can reduce the negative impact, and more importantly, it can package her origins.
Although Zhang Hanqing didn't care about this, people at that time did. You must know that the social status of actors was very low at that time.
After opening a hole in Gu Ruiyu, Zhang Hanqing's restless heart began to agitate. In a few years, he let the reputation of the romantic young marshal spread in Beijing, and soon he was "so handsome that he alarmed Zhongnanhai." This is true and cannot be pressed. surface.

Chapter 616 Cao Kun bribes the vote (Part 1)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
There are various signs that the presidential election held in the twelfth year of the Republic of China was extremely abnormal. The MPs who were normally lonely suddenly felt that their fortunes had turned around and they were receiving attention from all parties.
Since the beginning of the Republic of China, China has been devastated several times. The National Assembly has gone through chaos and chaos. Most of the members are in poverty. And out of disappointment with the current situation, they have long been desolate and abandoned themselves. This is very different from the early years of the Republic of China.
???????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT out of the warlord separatism during the Republic of China, whoever had the military power would sit firmly on the top of the mountain. These congressmen were just decorations for peace and peace, which were better than nothing. But parliamentarians are also machines for electing the president. If all parties want to obtain votes legally, this level is indispensable.
However, the current political situation in Beijing has disturbed the attention of many domestic people and foreign observers as to where China will go in the future. Countries such as Britain, France, the United States, and Japan are all speculating and making behind-the-scenes movements, hoping that their agents will come to power legally so that they can continue to gain influence in China. Interests.
The outside world is optimistic about Sun Yat-sen. After all, the leader of the Chinese Pan Boil Movement enjoys high prestige at home and abroad: he is upright and selfless, and he has the strong support of the Kuomintang behind him. Although the Kuomintang's current military strength is not enough to occupy a dominant position, as an advanced The party has a strong advantage in organizing the public and publicity - and has the full support of the Feng faction, which has the highest voice.
The Zhili Clique elected spiritual leader Cao Kun as the presidential candidate and set up a parliamentarian club in Ganshiqiao, Beijing, as an organization for conducting elections.
Cao Kun is self-aware. In terms of military and political talents, there are no less than a dozen people who are more suitable to be president than himself. If the election is truly fair, he will not be able to win in any case. He will only make wedding clothes for others. His close confidant, Wang Chengbin, governor of Zhili Province and Beijing garrison, believed that Cao Kun had considerable advantages and urged him to run.
Wang Chengbin believes that Cao Kun has several advantages: he is sympathetic to the soldiers, respects teachers and values ??education, thus gaining a good reputation, and has the geographical advantage of directly operating Beijing for many years.
Cao Kun is famous for his compassion for soldiers. Once, he was reviewing the troops stationed in Baoding. When he passed the ranks of soldiers, he found a soldier crying, so he stopped and asked what was going on. The soldier said that his father had died and he could not go back to attend the funeral. Cao Kun immediately gave him 50 yuan and gave him leave to go home and bury his father before joining the army. Therefore, although the Zhili army was small in number, its victory was due to its high morale and its ability to fight to the death.
Although Cao Kun is a rough man, he often likes to go to school for walks, especially chatting with professors. At Hebei University in Baoding, he often summoned faculty and students to give lectures, but he was very polite to professors. In front of them, he often claimed that he was a cloth seller from a cart and relied on professors to run the school.
He often lectures students: "You must respect professors. These professors are carefully selected by me from all provinces. If you are found to be disrespectful to professors in the future, I will kill you with your head."
“He said this and he also practiced it. The professors went to the lounge to rest after class, and Cao Kun came in to express condolences. During the summer, when I saw that the professors were sweating profusely from lectures in the classroom, I ordered the school staff to bring towels to the professors to wipe their sweat during class, and also installed refrigerators and other equipment in the classroom. Whenever salary came, he would instruct the General Affairs Office to wrap the salary in a big red paper bag and give it to the professors on a tray.
Whether this behavior is for show or to gain attention, Cao Kun is famous for respecting intellectuals. This is one of the reasons why his reputation has always been good in official history.
Relying on these alone is still not safe, what should I do? Wang Chengbin has another trick: vote bribery.
Regarding bribery, Cao Kun was still shy at first and wanted to cover it up. His subordinate Wang Tan comforted him and said: "Paying money to buy the president is much better than asking for money to get a reputation for corruption, and it is better than using a gun." The person who ordered the election is much more powerful. As long as he can be elected, he will be the legitimate president. And with Marshal Wu and his troops outside, who can have any opinions?"
Of course, "buying" the president will definitely have a bad reputation. The staff have their own ideas. Aren't the congressmen always arguing about "unpaid wages"? Isn't it justifiable for me to help the government pay salaries?
Since 1913, the first Congress has not only been dissolved many times, but the annual fee "is only paid one month in three months, and only 70% is paid in a month." The congressmen at that time were not like the National People's Congress in later generations in China. Representatives did not need money. They had to attend meetings. If I didn't have money, I wouldn't come.
So Cao Kun sent his relatives and friends to offer members of all parties a "high price" salary of at least 5,000 yuan per vote, provided that you wanted to participate in the congressional election.
During the Republic of China, 5,000 yuan was not a small amount. It was equivalent to the salary of an ordinary member of Congress for nearly ten years at that time. Moreover, theoretically, Cao Kun's move has nothing to do with "vote bribery": he is just using money to appeal to you to vote, and there is no rule as to whether you vote for Cao Kun or not. It is estimated that Cao Kun thought that the number of votes supporting him was enough and asked other members to vote, just to ensure that the number of voters reached 583.sp; planned to instigate 480 congressmen to accept bribes from Cao Kun. Although the principle is 5,000 yuan per person, in fact, depending on the status or role of the person, the highest can reach 10,000 yuan, all in the form of a check on the day of the election. issue.
The entire bribery includes subsidies to political parties, special fares, ordinary fares, attendance fees for the Constitutional Conference, attendance fees for regular meetings, special remuneration fees, "ice respect", "charcoal respect" and husband and wife fees, and guest house temporary fees. , secret fees, etc. Anyway, there are many tricks and each has its own name. It can be regarded as the first of administrative corruption in modern China, and it also requires a considerable amount of expenditure.
Cao Kun had a net worth of 50 million, ranking first among Beiyang military and political figures. But this election bribery did not come from his own pocket. In order to raise money for the general election, Wang Chengbin, the governor of Zhili Province, arrested a group of drug dealers and ordered them to ransom their lives with money. He received millions of dollars in money and forced to borrow a total of millions of dollars from 170 counties in Zhili.
In addition, many provincial governors and governors have "rewarded results", with the largest number being the direct governor of Shanxi, Yan Xishan, and the governor of Jiangsu, Qi Xieyuan, with each of them worth 500,000 yuan. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 617 Cao Kun bribes the vote (Part 2)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
On the eve of this election and on the spot, Cao Kun "paid" a total of 4 million yuan in back wages for ten years on behalf of the government, and every penny was distributed to everyone. It can be said that you get promoted and I get rich, and everyone gets what they need. .
“ Such a big news has already been detected by the Beijing branch of the Central Investigation Department of the People’s Party. When the news reached Zhang Zuolin's ears, Zhang Zuolin became furious and said: "Mala Bazi, Cao Kun is a three-faced man and a clown. We Northeasterners will never praise him!" He also ordered Zhang Hanqing to immediately declare in Beijing that if the members of the parliament could not accept Cao Kun, If you receive a bribe, you can receive the same amount from yourself. This is called "anti-bribery."
Although the Feng clan controlled 17 provinces, the parliament under the "National Unification Committee" located in Shenyang actually exercised its rights on behalf of most of China's parliament. However, because the members of the parliament were elected in the early Republic of China, Even with such a large territory, it was unable to influence the members of the provinces it controlled, which makes people admire the "discipline" of the politics of the Republic of China.
Zhang Hanqing urgently telegraphed Zhang Zuolin: "Although this is a huge scandal in the Republic of China, it is better to remain silent. It would be very beneficial for me to give him a thunderous blow as soon as the results come out. If Cao succeeds in bribing the election, it will be a big blow to the Kuomintang, and then I can I will seize the opportunity to attack, and public opinion is on my side. If Cao Cao fails in the election, he will not give up. Then Mr. Sun will also need his father's support, and his father can also take advantage of the opportunity to enter Beijing. The victory or defeat will be determined in a few days, and there will be a battle in the pass. It will decide the outcome, I hope my father will prepare early."
To paraphrase a famous saying: "If the direct line is willing to die, I will be willing to bury it." Let them do it!
This time Zhang Hanqing not only failed to do his best in fact, but also secretly opened the door for Cao Kun's bribery. How can the advantages of the People's Party's dictatorship be realized without crushing the last fig leaf of legal rule under its feet? Let the facts prove that Western-style cooking will not work in China!
In the early morning of October 5, many armed police and armed forces appeared in the area of ??Congress Street, and there were many lookouts on the city walls. In addition, there were five to six hundred plainclothes officers roaming among the people. Officials directly responsible for the police, such as Wang Huaiqing, Nie Xianfan, Xue Zhiheng, Che Qingyun and others were personally at the scene to direct and stand ready. One of its purposes is to monitor the masses, and the other is to prevent members of Congress from leaving Beijing secretly.
Military police were deployed at east-west stations and various important passages to prevent members of Congress from escaping. When a congressman fled, plainclothes officers would grab him and loudly accuse him of evading debts. Then the military and police would intervene, claiming to take him back for questioning, but in fact he was taken back to the venue.
Although the election time was set at 10 a.m., in fact, the quorum had not yet been reached by 1:20 p.m. The congressmen are not without moral integrity. The rumor that Cao Kun paid for the election has long been spread around. You must have a bottom line as a person, and you must not do anything that tarnishes your reputation.
So the Ganshiqiao Club, the election team of Cao Kun, publicly promised some members: As long as they attend the meeting, they can receive 5,000 yuan even if they do not elect Cao Kun!
This trick really worked. In the afternoon, more than ten congressmen including Yuan Zhenhuang arrived by car, ready to vote neatly, take the money, and leave. In this way, I invest in others and take the money with peace of mind. I have both face and dignity. How great it would be!
But even so, there were still a few people missing in the end, so the club went to the hospital to carry some bedridden legislators on soft beds, so that the quorum could be reached.
Of course, there are some legislators with backbone. When Cao Kun came to supervise the election in person, when he walked to the seat of Lu Fu, a member of the Beijing Congress and the Kuomintang, he found that he had not elected him. He couldn't help but feel itchy, and even whispered in his ear: "Why not elect Cao?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Fu was naturally rebellious. He crossed his fingers and shouted angrily: "If you can be the president, everyone in the world can be the president. If you become the president, the president will no longer be the president." After that, he picked up the things on the table. The inkstone was thrown towards Cao Kun.
Cao Kun Shanshan dodged, but the newly ground inkstone splashed all over him.
Thanks to his quick mind and reflexes, which are no less than his "skills", under the eyes of everyone, he behaved very generously despite his embarrassment. In front of the foreign visiting group, he talked eloquently: "Everyone must think that Mr. Cao He will become angry from shame, and he will throw it back like Mr. Lu did!
In fact, at this moment, Cao was thinking about another thing: Since the founding of the Republic of China, few members of Congress have expressed such violent behavior. Why? This is due to the trend of cooking. Mr. Lu is dissatisfied with Mr. Cao, so he naturally has the right to throw ink, which also reflects that this election is indeed a fair, open and fair event! "
He was very confident about this election, so he naturally took advantage of the situation and put on the hat first.
Not long ago, Cao Kun openly said to the congressmen: "Whoever is famous and rich can be the president." At that time, a congressman immediately suggested: "Commander, Mei Lanfang is both famous and rich, I I think I could be the president." Ichiichi laughed.
Senate President Wang Jiaxian committed suicide because he was dissatisfied with Cao Kun's bribery behavior.He was caught and released like that, and "Beating Drums and Scolding Cao" was naturally banned.
It’s certainly not that pleasant to be cursed with bad luck on this great day.
The men quickly stopped the play and took the owner of the opera house for questioning. The man said calmly: "The next show is "Zhongmu County", also known as "Chen Gongji". I wonder if the president has any advice? "
The content has not changed at all, only the name has changed. Isn’t this making fun of the great president? But Cao Kun was very confident: "In that case, you can continue the show."
Everyone was watching the show with uneasiness, but the president half-closed his eyes and shook his head, oh, he was actually immersed in it. One has to admire his ability to control anger and his self-cultivation. Even the owner of the pear garden who was teasing him couldn't help but sigh to himself: "Although Cao Kun is shameless in doing things, his cultivation is beyond what anyone can do!"
Amid the cheers of the people of Baoding, Cao Kun, wearing a blue military uniform, a red ribbon tied diagonally, and a chest full of medals, boarded a special train and drove to the palace in Beijing, also heading to the climax of his political career. peak.

Chapter 618 Buried Nails
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Historically, after Cao Kun’s election bribery, after a period of preparation, the second Zhili-Fengtian war took place in the second year, resulting in the Zhili clique’s defeat, and then the Fengcian clique dominated the scene for four years. With Zhang Hanqing's intervention, although the first Zhili-Fengtian War was successfully avoided, he still had to face Cao Kun's vote bribery - this is true in history, and this time the Zhili-Fengtian War still had to be fought. .
It seems that history really does not depend on human will!
Zhang Hanqing knew that the "Beijing Coup" conducted by Feng Yuxiang played a key role in the victory of the Fengjun Army in the second Zhili-Fengtian War in history. At that time, the Zhili and Fengxi armies were fighting fiercely on the front line of Shanhaiguan. Feng Yuxiang's troops took the opportunity to stab the Zhili army in the back and imprisoned President Cao Kun. Wu Peifu's military morale was shaken on the front line, and Fang Youzhi was defeated, and he never recovered from the fall. The Feng clique later took the opportunity to expel Feng Yuxiang and firmly occupied Beijing.
Whether this scene can be reproduced, the key now still lies in Feng Yuxiang.
Because of Zhang Hanqing’s past relationship with Feng Yuxiang, this was one of the reasons why Cao Kun was relieved that Feng Yuxiang would come to Beijing and was not afraid of him joining forces with Feng Lian. After he arrived in Beijing, Zhang Hanqing repaired the relationship in advance. At that time, Liu Dezhen, Feng Yuxiang's first wife, who had lived with Feng Yuxiang for 18 years, died of illness in Union Hospital. During this period, Zhang Hanqing and Yu Yifan visited her.
??If you reach out and don’t hit the smiling person, let alone Zhang Hanqing’s status as a young marshal. On that occasion, Zhang Hanqing talked about the idea of ??welcoming Sun Yat-sen to Beijing together, and Feng Yuxiang was very moved.
He is a loyal follower of the National Revolution. He was even dismissed from his post six years ago for not fighting against the French Guards under Sun Yat-sen. If the young marshal is really willing to respect Sun Yat-sen as the leader, then all the previous grudges can be forgotten with a smile. The two secretly negotiated that if they met on the battlefield in the future, both armies would shoot into the air to avoid killing each other
The three major contributors to Cao Kun’s election bribery were Feng Yuxiang, Wang Chengbin, and Wu Jinglian. According to news from the Beijing branch of the Central Investigation Department, due to Wu Peifu's previous hatred and rejection of Feng Yuxiang, and the scandal of Cao Kun's election bribery, which aroused nationwide opposition, Feng Yuxiang was very dissatisfied with Cao and Wu.
Moreover, Feng Yuxiang admired Sun Yixian very much and had the intention to turn against Cao and Wu. After Cao Kun became president, Feng Yuxiang gradually showed his disdainful attitude due to his high achievements.
At that time, the Prime Minister had not yet been elected, and Zhang Ting'e, Secretary-General of the State Council, served as the liaison between the government and the Yuan. One day Feng Yuxiang found Zhang Ting'e, and he said: "Brother Zhiqing (Zhang Ting'e's name), please accompany me to see the president." Zhang Ting'e thought he was politely asking Jin Ye, so he accompanied him to see Cao Kun.
How could he know that after meeting Cao, Feng said solemnly: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the guards of the Presidential Palace beat up the soldiers. Did the President know? If the President knew but did not do something, it was the President who was defending his shortcomings; if the President did not know, , is being deceived!"
When Feng Yuxiang said this, Zhang Ting'e was surprised. Is this the attitude of a soldier speaking to the president? Although Feng Yuxiang is famous for protecting his shortcomings, after all, he is facing the nominal president of a country!
Although Cao Kun was born as a cloth merchant, he has held many important positions and has seen a lot of the world, not to mention that he is now the president. He was amiable when Feng was reporting. After Feng finished speaking, he opened his eyes, sat upright and said to Feng: "Huan Zhang, the Presidential Guards beat up the soldiers on the first day of the new year. As senior officers, why don't you investigate thoroughly?" Punishing the bad elements who caused trouble? I am the president, do you still need me to handle such a small matter? When have I ever interceded with you to protect the guards of the presidential palace? "
Feng Yuxiang hit a big nail and was speechless. Zhang Ting'e had to smooth things over and said: "We will implement the president's instructions immediately. Huanzhang is a subordinate of the president. He treats the president like his father. His words may be too extreme. Please forgive me." .”
Because he knew the details of Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Hanqing explained the situation to Sun Yat-sen and asked him to write a personal letter, which was forwarded to Feng Yuxiang in Tojo Hutong by an intelligence officer of the Beijing branch of the People’s Party and granted confidentiality.
It is said that Feng Yuxiang had revolutionary thoughts very early, which makes sense. When Lao Feng was a leader, he and a group of buddies planned the Luanzhou Uprising to welcome the Wuchang Uprising. After the failure, all the brothers fled to death. Feng Yuxiang because his first wife, Liu Dezhen, was the staff officer of Yuan Shikai's guard army at that time. Because of the niece's uncle, Lu Jianzhang, she escaped for a while and then came back to serve as his official.
However, Feng Yuxiang still worked very hard when he started to eat in Beiyang again. Whether it was the second revolution led by Sun Yat-sen or the war against Yuan Zhan led by Cai E to protect the country, Feng Yuxiang and his independent brigade stood firmly. On Yuan Shikai's side, Feng Bu was awarded three honors by Lao Yuan for capturing Yuezhou. He also played a very disgraceful role in this "election bribery". It can be seen that Feng Yuxiang still couldn't escape the idea that warlords have breasts and are mothers. true nature.
Feng Yuxiang is right at this timeAt the age of 6, he was a typical soldier who was brave and tough. He is Zhang Hanqing's old rival: in Shaanxi, it was Zhang Hanqing who drove him out; in Hubei, it was Zhang Hanqing who blocked his way south; in Anhui, it was Zhang Hanqing who poached him.
He had hatred for Zhang Hanqing, who was nearly half his age, but his admiration turned to sympathy. He also opposed Zhang Hanqing's refusal to merge the People's Party into a part of the Kuomintang and to "form parties and separatist regimes", which was the legacy of his father's warlord legacy. .
When the Kuomintang intelligence officer explained to him the purpose of his visit and showed him a letter written by Sun Yat-sen, he did not hesitate and said generously: "Feng takes state affairs as his top priority and should abide by Mr. Sun's decision. You reply to the young marshal and arrange military deployment. I will The troops should be caught by surprise and defeat the immediate rear in one fell swoop.”
Having said that, Feng Yuxiang is still very wary of the power of the Zhili clique, and is also confused about the situation after winning the battle: Zhang Hanqing nominally respects Sun Yat-sen as the leader, but can he guarantee that he will form a government under the leadership of Sun Yat-sen?
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Zhang Hanqing knew Feng Yuxiang very well. It has been said that in order to lead a good army, one must have concepts and ideas. Chiang Kai-shek relied on Sanpanzhuoyi to build the army, Yan Xishan relied on the loyalty and etiquette of the Three Kingdoms to build the army, but Feng Huanzhang relied on Christianity to build the army. Add gang rules.
Feng Yuxiang’s eldest brother Zhang Zhijiang was the Hongmen eldest brother at the time. He printed 10,000 Bibles at his own expense and distributed them to his subordinates. All of Feng Yuxiang’s subordinates became Christians, and Feng himself was called the “Christian General.”
Of course, Feng's Christian military law is absolutely no match for Yin Wujia's high-ranking officials. This has been proven by history. Zhang Hanqing does not want to repeat this meaningless work. All he can do is to pay attention to Feng Yuxiang's needs and promise to contribute. 1 million taels of silver dollars to meet the problem of military salary arrears caused by Feng Yuxiang's rapid military expansion and the inability to pay military salaries in time after Wu Peifu's suppression.
How could Feng Yuxiang not do a good deed that was both honorable and honorable? This is also the reason why Feng Yuxiang was posthumously called a "hypocrite" by Mao Zedong after his death, and why Lin Biao and Lushan classified him as "ambitious, conspirators, and hypocrites like Feng Yuxiang" when he criticized Peng Dehuai.
The reason why the Communist Party does not have a high opinion of Feng Yuxiang, a figure like Wei Yan, is because he defected eight times in his life. This is also how he got his nickname of "General Christian" and the name "General Defection". (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 619 Three Parties Oppose Straight
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
After Cao Kun used bribery to get himself onto the coveted "throne" of the president. On the day he took office, he announced a presidential decree to unify the military and civil affairs, establish a complete country, and called for the reunification of the north and the south.
At this time, the military government of the South protecting the law has ceased to exist after Chen Jiongming bombarded the Presidential Palace. The so-called South has become a situation where the Southeast Military Region coexists with the warlords of Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. In order to win over Sun Yat-sen, Cao Kun called Sun Yat-sen and prepared to end the dispute on the condition that Sun Yat-sen would serve as prime minister in the cabinet. There seemed to be a glimmer of reconciliation between the two parties.
" But Sun Yat-sen didn't appreciate it. On October 8, the Chinese Kuomintang issued a declaration in Shanghai condemning Cao Kun. On the same day, Zhang Hanqing accompanied Sun Yixian to Tianjin and called the diplomatic missions of various countries and asked them to deny that Cao Kun was the president.
"Unifying the military and civil affairs" is a good thing for the modern country, but handing power to Cao Kun is definitely not Fengxi's wish, and it is absolutely unreasonable. How can an elephant be willing to be commanded by an ant?
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hanqing met Duan Qirui in Tianjin and saw that a war was inevitable.
Under heavy pressure, Sun Baoqi, the prime minister appointed by Cao Kun, announced his resignation, citing "dizziness and disharmony in the stomach and stomach", which was misinterpreted by sycophants as "headlessness and internal divisions in the direct line." This also shows that people from all walks of life believe that Fengjun is quite confident in defeating the Zhili clique militarily.
But it is easy to destroy the old regime, but difficult to stabilize the new regime. When the united front was about to be formed, he was already thinking about a successor for the post-war political arena.
The war will definitely be dominated by the Fengtian army, so it is impossible for the Kuomintang to get the fruits of victory. The idea that many people imagine that after defeating Cao Kun, Sun Yat-sen becomes president and Zhang Zuolin becomes prime minister is too unrealistic, although both sides have considerable market.
Zhang Hanqing will not provide a stage or opportunity for the growth of the Kuomintang. He would rather activate the already marginalized Duan Qirui.
This is called preparing for a rainy day.
After Duan Qirui was expelled from Beijing by the combined forces of the Zhili and Fengtian armies, he took refuge in Shou Street in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin and began to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha. On the surface, he was meditating and cultivating his character. In fact, he was still closely watching the political situation in anticipation of his comeback.
When Zhili and Feng were at odds, Duan Qirui promptly sent Duan Zhigui to the northeast to contact Zhang Zuolin, and he also sent Xu Shuzheng to the south to make friends with Sun Yixian. Only then did Duan Qirui, Zhang Zuolin, and Sun Yixian form an anti-Zhili "triangular alliance".
In fact, even if Cao Kun does not bribe the vote, the two sides will fight sooner or later. This time is just an opportunity for the three parties to formally appear.
Originally, Sun Yixian wanted to issue a decree in the name of the Dharma Protector General, but Zhang Hanqing and Duan Qirui refused. The two agreed that Cao Kun's election bribery made the legal system of the Republic of China exist in name only. Moreover, because of this election bribery, the "convention law" became a laughing stock in China, and it was no longer appropriate to use the name of protecting the law. Naturally, he, the "Dharma Protector General", will naturally pass through the long river of history.
Sun is famous for her dedication to protecting the law, and is also the cornerstone of the Kuomintang's existence. If he joins the war in the name of protecting the Dharma, the result will be another unexplainable victory.
Only by resolutely bypassing the name of protecting the law can the victory of the anti-independence movement be meaningful to Zhang Hanqing. Let the law of the early Republic of China go into its own grave with the development of history! Look at how a crappy Kuomintang can compete with the People's Party for power without the support of the National Assembly.
In Zhang Hanqing’s summary of past and future generations, China needs a centralized central government to complete the task of national unification. Throughout history, any dynasty with a weak central government has caused large-scale turmoil, and it has never failed. In China, due to differences in ideology and cultural systems, we have never had the kind of cultural soil that Europe and the United States have.
Since the Republic of China, more than ten years of attempts have proven that this kind of dish cooking is unpopular in China, and it is almost impossible for such a dish cooking to succeed.
In an era when the people were still very ignorant, and in an era when education was only available to families with relatively good conditions, it was a disaster to artificially exaggerate the meaning of dishonesty. Only under the leadership of the Chinese People's Party, the correct solution is to implement conditional democracy, that is, centralism.
In fact, it is not just China that is trying. Since the Soviet socialist camp successfully unified the crumbling Tsarist Russia, people around the world discovered that a centralized system can accomplish many great things, and national socialist thoughts began to surge.
In Italy, Mussolini led the fascist Blackshirt Party in the famous "March on Rome" in 1922, seizing power in Italy in a "walk".
This mythical experience of seizing power obviously greatly touched Hitler, who was still a political noob. The following year, he launched a beer hall coup in Munich as a "tribute" in an attempt to copy the successful model of his idol, but was sent to prison.
No matter how anti-human the path chosen by Germany and Italy was, at that time, their approach was the hope of enslaved people in third world countries to liberate their country. Like China, it began to evolve from learning from Japan and Britain to learning from Germany. A profound awakening of nationalism is its root cause, and the ability to strengthen the country in a short period of time is its most attractive part.
The People’s Party is also following this path, but it will not go against the trend of history and will make many political improvements. The principle of separation of powers under the leadership of the party will not change, the policy of adhering to the party's leadership as the center will not change, and the idea of ????taking centralism within the party as the basis for governance will not change. In this way, it completely covers the so-called dish cooking.
In view of this vote-buying, some members of the two congresses are not firm in their will, and there are many Kuomintang members among the members. Even Wu Jinglian, the speaker of the House of Representatives who presided over this vote-buying, is a Kuomintang member. Therefore, although Sun Yat-sen's words are generous, he is actually confident. insufficient.
On the other hand, each province rushed to denounce the elected members of their own provinces, and in serious cases even expelled them from the province, which somewhat punished the members as "not shameful to see the Jiangdong elders".
Led by Fan Xiren, more than a hundred congressmen who opposed vote-buying came to Tianjin to form a mobile congress. Due to insufficient numbers, the Senate and the House of Representatives were called extraordinary meetings of the National Assembly. They agreed that the executive committee members elected from among the members of each province would serve as chairpersons in turn. Fan Xiren was elected as chairman and met with Sun Yixian, Zhang Hanqing and Duan Qirui.
Because Fan Xiren is consistent with Sun Yat-sen's pursuit of "eliminating warlords internally and canceling unequal treaties externally", and has always praised Sun as "the mentor of the country", his arrival finally allowed Sun Yat-sen to save some face.
The day after the "Tripartite Anti-Zhili Alliance" contacted the outside world, Zhang Zuolin, who was far away in the northeast, and Lu Yongxiang, the governor of the Anhui clique in Zhejiang (then the commander of the 10th Army Division), acted in unison to declare that Cao Kun was a thief and a traitor. The entire Chinese people regard Cao Kun's election as a rip-off and a treason. Please order their representatives in Beijing to avoid any actions that could give the thief an excuse for international recognition.
In response to each other, Sun Yat-sen, in the name of the leader of the "Triangular Anti-straight Alliance", ordered a crusade against Cao Kun, wanted for bribery of elected members, and chaired a meeting to discuss the crusade against Cao Kun.
Zhang Hanqing is familiar with the Three Kingdoms and has a lot of experience in "the general trend of the world: if we divide for a long time, we will unite, and if we unite for a long time, we will divide." He often laments the impermanence of things. Taking Duan Qirui as an example, the reason why we try our best to win him over at this time is simply because the Anhui clique still has strength despite its defeat and can threaten the rear flank of the Zhizhi Army in Zhejiang and Xuzhou.
But not long ago, Feng Jun published a series of articles in newspapers and called the country to denounce Duan Qirui as a traitor!
He initially greatly admired Sun Yat-sen's efforts and great reputation for the revolution, and always wanted to use the tiger's skin as a banner. Even the purpose of the People's Party was Sun Yat-sen's "three dishes cooking righteousness".
But as time goes by, he gradually realizes that he has allowed Sun Yat-sen to occupy the position of president of Beijing City. With the capabilities of the fragmented Kuomintang, can it shoulder the important task of saving the country and the people?
Even his wishful thinking of the so-called "uncontrolled election" became the laughing stock of the Republic of China due to Cao Kun's interference - but this election was really "uncontrolled" in a sense, and there was nothing from the beginning to the end. Any coercion is entirely due to the cooperation of the members themselves to complete the biggest election scandal in history!
????????????????????????? But after the victory of the anti-Zhili movement, the Fengxi clique cannot leave Sun Yixian alone and become Longting, otherwise the Fengxi clique will immediately be at the forefront of the storm. Moreover, Zhang Hanqing vaguely remembered that after the successful anti-independence campaign in official history, Feng Yuxiang and Feng Jun became incompatible again. That will be a new round of looting, which will be a pain to China, which has suffered many disasters. Zhang Hanqing was determined to use "civilized" methods to achieve his goal of unifying China.
Otherwise, it is not a problem to defeat the alliances of all parties with the strength of the Feng Faction, but after a tragic victory, can it still resist the unequal demands of the great powers and complete the great cause of unifying the country? This is extremely uncertain.
“However, tying Duan Qirui to the same tank and being trapped together in the anti-straight war eliminated the possibility of a comeback of the Anhui clique after the war. Based on Zhang Hanqing's calculations, will the Anhui clique retain its strength?
And he also calculated that with Sun Yat-sen's prestige, and if he placed him at the highest point of the flag, Fengjun's battle results, which he had spent countless efforts to obtain, would most likely be used as wedding clothes for others, making it easy for Sun Yat-sen to get away!
Considering the post-war layout, Duan Qirui, who has served three terms as prime minister, is the best person to support. If the Kuomintang wants to use this to make a comeback, he is sure to let Duan Qirui take the lead for a while.
But he obviously thought too much. Duan Qirui's ambitions have been basically extinguished after the blow from the Zhijiang-Anhui War. In the following years, he saw with his own eyes the vigorous development of the People's Party in Tianjin, and also heard that the People's Army was invincible in the pass. He did not intend to compete with the Feng clan for supremacy. One of his thoughts was that he With his hands, he completed the reunification of China and fulfilled his wish to enter politics.
When the young marshal who was most promising to help him fulfill his wish extended an olive branch, he immediately accepted it, clearly sent a message, agreed to join forces, and worked together with Sun Yat-sen of the Kuomintang to seek bribes to elect the direct government.
Over the past few years, he has been at odds with Zhang Zuolin and Sun Yat-sen. Who would have thought that in the end he would end up making peace with each other in this way? Politics is indeed a fog, which corresponds to the song "Looking at flowers in the fog, looking at the moon in the water, can you distinguish this unpredictable world"?

Over there, the three parties said that Cao Kun was bribing the election of the president. Here, Wu Peifu asked Cao Kunming to issue a presidential decree and appoint himself as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army to attack the coalition forces of Zhang Zuolin, Duan Qirui, and Sun Yixian.
Wu Peifu has been in Beijing for a long time. As soon as the scandal of bribery for the presidential election came out, all members of the immediate family betrayed and separated from their relatives. He was furious about this and hurried back to Beijing from Luoyang and went into battle in uniform.
This is what he is praised for, and it is also his biggest political mistake: "foolish loyalty." It turned out that Jin and Luo had been at odds for a long time, and Wu also had the ability to lead an army on his own. However, he felt Cao Kun's trust and promotion, and always maintained Cao Kun's position and never wanted to replace him.
"The Gaibei people's loyalty to their superiors is not based on public understanding, but is entirely based on private emotions. In addition to obedience, there is also the concept of repaying gratitude." The words of the National Daily last year are still ringing in my ears, should they be blamed on him?
Wu Peifu is by no means an idle person in the military. Although his direct army only has 14 divisions and 2 mixed brigades, most of them have experienced hundreds of battles and are well trained. Their combat effectiveness is not inferior to any of the People's Army and Fengjun troops. .
When facing the Fengjun Army in the north and the People's Army in the south, he formed a two-sided strategic situation. On the one hand, he gathered the main force in the north in an attempt to make a quick victory. After defeating the Fengjun Army outside the pass, he relied on railway transportation to return to the south of the Yellow River. To meet the People's Army.
His military deployment is undoubtedly correct.
Although the combat effectiveness of Wu Peifu's army is comparable to that of Feng's army, it is even better than that of Feng's army. It also has the psychological advantage of veterans over new recruits against the People's Army, but there are many soldiers who cannot stand up to their opponents.
The advantage of the entire Fengtian faction is that it has more troops, more food, and abundant logistics. This is also the disadvantage of the Zhili army. If the two sides engage in a tug-of-war on the north and south fronts, the Zhili Clan will definitely suffer losses - north of the Yellow River is a plain, and it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. If the People's Army fully blossoms, it will be unable to defend it.
Therefore, in order to create a containment behind the People's Army so that it could not attack with all its strength, he secretly contacted the warlords of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, and induced Ningxia Governor Ma Tingxiang to raise troops, trying to control the northwest, southwest, and southeast areas under the control of the People's Army. The direction was to launch a full-scale war, delay the pace of the People's Army going north, and create favorable time for the Zhili Army to finally defeat the Feng Army in the north.
It’s just easy to plan but difficult to actually implement. Not to mention whether it is as easy as talking on paper to move so many troops back and forth, it is to concentrate the main force and defeat Fengjun in one battle. Although this opportunity exists, Fengjun, who has been enriched for many years, is no longer Wu Xia Ameng. Tianjin, Tangshan, Qinhuangdao and other places outside the pass are the places where Zhang Hanqing focuses on construction. They are important industrial towns tied to the pass. Naturally, they are heavily guarded. It is a battle of life and death.
In addition, whether the warlords of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other roads can be his arms at this critical moment to encircle Wei and save Zhao is still a question mark.
Yunnan and Guizhou are far away in a corner. They are surrounded by the powerful powers of Guangxi and Sichuan. They are weak and have no personal feelings about who will win and who will lose in the Zhifeng War. Therefore, they ignored Wu Peifu's lobbying. They made up their mind that whoever wins will be the orthodox center, and of course they must obey in name.
Since Lu Rongting’s defeat, the Guangxi Clique has been locked in internal disputes. Gradually, the new Guangxi Clique headed by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi emerged. Li Zongren has the strategy of a politician, and Bai Chongxi has the military acumen and is known as "Little Zhuge". They will not rush forward rashly.
They have made up their mind to pacify the interior of Guangxi first, and then wait for opportunities to act based on the situation. Therefore, they only accept Wu Peifu's idea that as long as the Guangxi army launches an offensive behind the People's Army in South China, all the southeastern regions will be in the pie after the war. With moral support - because no matter what, Cao Kun is already the legal president - as for sending troops, military pay and equipment are insufficient, please ask the central government to provide supplies.
After Ma Tingxiang had no choice but to surrender to Zhang Hanqing, he always thought about "returning people and governing Hui". Although the people's military government under Zhang Hanqing's control granted a high degree of autonomy, it still could not satisfy his desires. It's just that the People's Army is powerful, so this idea has been hidden. What Wu Peifu said was exactly what he wanted.
It’s just that the Northwest People’s Army has a strong strength of 4 divisions. He can only hope that the Sichuan Army will take the lead in taking action, and he will also wait for the opportunity to stab him in the back.
However, because the armies of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou all had their own plans and were wary of the powerful People's Army, the final rebellion only remained in the imagination. Of course, Ma Tingxing's lone army did not dare to make any mistakes, so he had to wait and see which way the wind would turn.
In order to prevent the people's army from Shaanxi, Hubei, Anhui, Shandong and other places from attacking from behind, Wu Peifu pulled all the troops stationed in Henan to the north of the Yellow River. He only arranged Zhang Fulai's 24th Division and a new division in Zhengzhou and Luoyang south of the Yellow River. Division, Xiao Yaonan's 25th Division and a new division were stationed along the railway respectively. Zhang and Xiao were the commanders of the two places respectively.
His intention was to concentrate superior forces in the north, fight quickly in the pass, and defeat the Feng army. The Yellow River is naturally dangerous and difficult to crossHowever, as long as there is a buffer time of a few days, it is not a problem to deal with the direct troops in the pass. When the time comes, with the power of victory and the reputation of central authority, we will not be afraid that the situation will not change in favor of the Zhili clique.
Originally, Zhang Fulai was not qualified enough to command the Henan Army, so he wanted to use Zhang Fulai to gain favor. However, the famous "World Evening News" in Beijing changed Zhang Fulai into Zhang "Hao" in its report, which made Wu Peifu wanted by the world for his president Cheng Shewo. He became suspicious and always felt that there was no peace in Beijing. .
The only remaining territory of the Anhui clique is in Zhejiang. Because all parties have expressed their opinions, Zhejiang governor Lu Yongxiang also attacked Qi Xieyuan, the direct clique's Jiangsu governor, in the name of anti-bribery, thus advancing the Jiangsu-Zhejiang war by more than a year. In order to cheer up the Anhui clique, Zhang Zuolin sent a message to Cao Kun: "I will use the plane to ask about my daily life, and I will be in contact with you to get the final answer!"
The South China People's Army also supported the war in the north from the side. Yu Xuezhong formed the Northern Expedition Army with two divisions to attack the pro-Zhili clique Fujian governor Sun Chuanfang. The People's Army started from Chaozhou and pushed straight towards Zhangzhou and Xiamen. Then it would steadily control Fuzhou, the political and cultural center of Fujian, from Quanzhou and Kamata.
Because Fujian is mountainous, Yu Xuezhong was informed by Zhang Hanqing that he did not focus on a sudden attack, but on creating momentum. At the same time, the Central China People's Army garrison in Jiangxi had been ordered to assemble in Fuzhou to prepare for a north-south pincer attack on Fujian. The People's Army will try its best to create a fait accompli and lay the foundation for gaining a share of the post-war pie.
At first, Sun Chuanfang was frightened by Zhang Hanqing's military power and fled to Fujian to avoid disaster. He was taken in by Li Houji, who abandoned Anhui and returned to China. However, he was soon occupied by Jiu, and Sun Chuanfang, who was known as "returning home", teamed up with Wang Yongquan, commander of the 24th Mixed Brigade of the Anhui Clique, to drive him away in one fell swoop. Later, Li Houji arrived in Shanghai. Although he was given the false title of Quanwei General by his direct line, his strength was lost and was no longer effective.
Last year, at the Baoding Conference, the Zhili Clan generals proposed to restore the legal system and unify the country first. It was Sun Chuanfang who sent a telegram to support the Zhili Clan. He suggested that "to consolidate the Republic of China, we should first unify the legal system, convene the old parliament, and ask Li Yuanhong to restore the country." Then he called the Guangdong Protector of Military and Political Affairs | The government wants Sun Yixian and Xu Shichang to step down at the same time.
Later, Sun Yat-sen was widely questioned at home and abroad for "not letting go" because he was the one who started it.
Xu Shuzheng, a general of the Anhui clique, has been canceled after fleeing trouble abroad for many years. Since he had no place to go, he came to Fuzhou to arrange for Wang Yongquan and others to use the remaining strength of the Anhui clique to unite with the Feng clique and Sun Yixian to jointly fight against the straight line. However, Sun Chuanfang teamed up with Zhou Mengren, commander of the 12th Division, to launch a surprise attack and oust Wang Yongquan, the newly promoted Fujian Military Affairs Assistant who held real power.
At this point, except for Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang, the Anhui clique no longer has any hardcore members.
At that time, Zhang Hanqing had just bombarded Sun Dapao, and the Anhui clique was still lamenting the early "tripartite anti-direction". Because of Sun Chuanfang's actions, the Anhui clique did not have much energy to discuss the rights and wrongs of the two sides.
When the Feng and Anhui cliques officially targeted Sun Chuanfang as their opponent, the pressure on Sun Chuanfang doubled. Regardless of the final outcome of the war in the north, with the strength of the South China and Central China headquarters, he is no match for him.
On the one hand, he secretly sent people to contact the People's Army, expressing his unwillingness to become an enemy of the People's Army, and expressed his willingness to slowly give up the southern Fujian, and transfer the main force to the north to develop in Zhejiang, which has better economic conditions and empty defenses. Once he controls Zhejiang, he will completely withdraw from Fujian.
Yu Xuezhong and Zhang Hanqing had the same idea: of course they would get the advantage first. Since they could win Fujian without a fight, why let the army go to war? Moreover, Sun Chuanfang was at war with Lu Yongxiang of the Anhui clique, which was actually what the Feng clique wanted.
On the surface, Feng and Anhui are now allies, but Zhang Hanqing has already made a decision on the arrangement of the post-war political situation. The best arrangement is to support Duan Qirui to regain his position, but to destroy the arms he relies on to rise again and weaken or defeat Lu Yongxiang. He is happy to see this happen.
Cao Kun hoped that Sun Chuanfang could attack Guangdong, but Sun Chuanfang insisted on developing towards Zhejiang in the name of "Zhejiang is weak and it is easy to connect to Jinpu County and rush north for reinforcements".
Thousands of miles away, does Sun Chuanfang really need help? Wu Peifu expressed his anger at his petty thoughts. He said that Qi Xieyuan was far stronger than Sun Chuanfang and could form an overwhelming advantage over Lu Yongxiang when blocking the Central China People's Army. What Sun Chuanfang has to do now is to block the People's Army from encroaching on Fujian and wait for an opportunity to attack Guangdong.
Sun Chuanfang also has a way. Under pressure, he called Cao Kun and Wu Peifu. On the one hand, he talked about the strategy of attacking Guangdong, and on the other hand, he asked for 3 million yuan in military pay and 5 million rounds of ammunition. It's already this time, even if Cao and Wu could take it out, they couldn't transport it to his territory? Now, without military pay and ammunition, the plan to attack Guangdong can only be abandoned.
Fortunately, he agreed to fight with Lu Yongxiang, the general of the Anhui clique and the governor of Zhejiang, which indirectly supported the Zhili clique in the north. Therefore, Cao Kun gave up after confirming that he could not command Sun Chuanfang.
It seems that you can’t rely on others to fight a war. At critical moments, you need to rely on yourself. On the 12th, Wu Peifu ordered generals in Sizhaotang. All the leading figures in the direct line gathered here, including Cao Kun and other big shots, were present.
At the meeting, Wu Peifu asked everyone to take the interests of all members of the direct line as the starting point, abandon factional grievances, and fight this battle with all their strength. He cheered and said that as long as the Feng clan was defeated or sent back outside the customs, the entire territory within the customs would be directly related, so why bother to stick to the current disputes about one province, one city, and one place? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Just give up.

Chapter 621 The Zhifeng War (Part 1)

Why do you have to brainwash your subordinates before every war? Because it does give a brief boost to morale up and down.
Wu Peifu has both prospects and consequences. He warned the ministries that the current battle between Zhili and Fengcheng was a life and death battle for the Zhili. Unlike in the past, when political struggles failed, there was still hope of a comeback. The Feng clique has a clear program of founding the country, a well-established administrative structure, and strong industrial and economic support, which have nothing to do with the Zhili clique. Once he comes to power, he will have no rivals in the country, and it will be even harder to make a comeback.
???????????????????????????????????????????…
Of course, these words can only be heard, and the most sincere ones must be the generals directly under Wu. As for whether other people have their own plans, it is currently unknown. But some people must be unhappy, at least Wang Chengbin is.
As the leader of the Tianjin faction among the three Zhili factions, Wang Chengbin did not have a deep rift with the Feng clique like Wu Peifu. On the contrary, he had many intersections with the Feng clique in Tianjin and had many unclear relationships. In terms of personal interests, he did not have Lao Wu's sense of crisis, and naturally he did not share the same hatred.
Because he was the first to establish a government office and was at the feet of the emperor, he was not interested in Wu Peifu's sudden rise. Like Zhang Zuolin, he was also a little unhappy that a division commander under Cao Kun was on par with him.
Zhang Zuolin was unhappy because he was on par with Cao Kun. He was unhappy because he was Cao Kun's subordinate and he was more independent. Wu Peifu was the commander, but he had to obey his orders. Even if this battle ends in a direct victory, it will only put Wu on the altar.
No one wants to be a generation shorter!
"However, Wu Peifu's military strength is indeed superior, and he can only acquiesce in it.
In this battle, the Zhili army was divided into three groups: the first group was arranged to start from Langfang and attack Tianjin along the Yongding River.
Peng Shouxin, Dong Zhengguo, and Wang Weicheng were all generals under Wu Peifu. Peng Shouxin was the commander-in-chief. There were 4 divisions, 1 mixed brigade and 20,000 "Yi Army" Mi Zhenbiao's troops, totaling about 100,000 people. The main force of the army. Wu Peifu's 3rd Division was also among them, with the purpose of defeating the main force of the Feng Army in one battle;
The second route, Wang Huaiqing's troops, is the weaker link among the three routes. They are two new divisions, coming out to attack Zhangyuan (Zhangjiakou);
The third line attacked Ji County from Xianghe County on the outskirts of Beijing and Tianjin respectively. Zhang Zhijiang, Li Mingzhong, Lu Zhonglin and others from Feng Department were the main attackers. Sun Yue acted as the commander-in-chief of the Gyeonggi garrison, and Cao Rui was the military supplies director.
Wang Chengbin, deputy commander-in-chief of the direct line, was appointed commander-in-chief of the rear route army and led 2 divisions as third-route backup.
"The Navy's Bohai Fleet, led by Commander Wen Shude, was also ordered to conduct raids on Tianjin, Qinhuangdao, Shanhaiguan, and Huludao. A total of about 250,000 people traveled by sea, land and air.
This arrangement is undoubtedly correct: the Luoyang faction, the Baoding faction and the Beijing-Tianjin faction were originally incompatible with each other. Taking advantage of the war, Wu Peifu took the opportunity to weaken the power of Wang Chengbin, the representative of the Beijing-Tianjin faction.
Wang Chengbin was able to establish a sect because he had two most important positions: one was the commander of the 23rd Division, and the other was the commander of the Beijing Garrison. Others, like the governor of Zhili Province, are just in name. After all, there is also a big boss in the Zhili Clan, Cao Kun, in Baoding. Even so, his position is very important, especially as the commander of the Beijing garrison, which makes Wu Peifu choke in his throat.
Wu Peifu would definitely not let his political opponents grow stronger during the war, so he took the opportunity to take away his position as garrison commander and handed it over to Sun Yue to replace him. Of course, on the surface, he is still the direct deputy commander-in-chief and serves as the backup for the Third Route Army - he can't go too far, right? I've touched other people's cheese, so why not give me some sweet dates?
Although Sun Yue belongs to Feng Yuxiang, we are facing a formidable enemy, so we should unite all the forces that can be united. He had always had a quarrel with Feng Yuxiang before, and now he has left the most important defense of the capital to his control. This not only shows full trust and the intention to make peace with each other, but also buries the clues to the discord between Feng and Wang, paving the way for the post-war political layout.
Feng Yuxiang accepted the olive that Wu Peifu extended. After all, this position is not bad. Still swinging between straight and anti-straight, he discussed secretly with his generals Lu Zhonglin and Sun Yue.
"Previously, the young marshal from the Northeast and I had made a secret agreement not to fire at each other on the battlefield. If our troops opened fire on him, it would be inconsistent with my idea of ??supporting Mr. Sun. After all, he has now formed a three-way anti-straight alliance with the Feng faction. But I I am worried that even if the Zhili clique fails, will the Fengcian clique tolerate me after the war? I hate and fear that guy (Zhang Hanqing) now, so I have to make plans in advance.
“But if I disobey Wu’s orders, he will definitely be wary of me. If this battle fails, he will not tolerate me after the war.
So now I am sitting on pins and needles, unable to advance or retreat. You all sayLook, what do we do? "
Lu Zhonglin suggested: "Commander might as well test Wu's bottom line. If we can get a place for us to stay and develop in Xu Tu, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight to preserve our strength. The main forces of both sides have been exhausted, and the Zhijun's victory will be a tragic victory. The commander must be reused; if not, try to control the capital and push Mr. Sun to take the lead in preparing the country. In this way, he can win the admiration of all the people and the full support of the Kuomintang. Even if the Feng clique is super strong, there can be no unfavorable intentions against the commander in Beijing. In the future, there will definitely be a place for commander in the new government!"
Feng Yuxiang thought it was wonderful, so he asked Wu Peifu to send him as a patrol envoy to the three eastern provinces after Zhang Zuolin was vacated.
Wu Peifu knew that this was Feng Yuxiang's test. He thought for a long time and said slowly: "Northeast China has a special relationship with Japan. Our diplomacy with Japan is very delicate, so the appointment of patrol envoys in the three northeastern provinces cannot ignore Japan's trends. You have always been considered pro-American. The sect is the most tabooed by the Japanese, so it is not appropriate to go to the Northeast. However, in order to reward your military exploits, the country has plenty of honors, and I will definitely consider other positions, and I will definitely satisfy you."
“He really spoke from the bottom of his heart, and he also thought from a political perspective. But in this situation, Feng Yuxiang was just negotiating terms with him. Wouldn't he be asking for his arm to be cut off by talking to Feng Yuxiang like this? Seeing that his goal could not be achieved, Feng Yuxiang decided to join the anti-straight movement.
In order to stabilize Wu Peifu, he demanded that he be paid first before leaving. When Wu Peifu heard this, he was very angry and said: "When troops come to the city, can't we fight without paying them? Wang Maoxuan (Wang Huaiqing, Commander of the 13th Division, Commander-in-Chief of the Second Army of the Rebel Army) did not come to ask for wages!"
However, Feng Yuxiang still requested to allocate more vehicles, and Wu Peifu had no choice but to allocate 40 vehicles.
At this time, the Fengjun Offshore Command had three divisions of troops stationed in Zhangyuan, Tianjin, and Jixian. Sun Liechen had resigned from the post of Army Chief after Cao Kun's bribery and the break between Zhili and Fengtian. He was ordered to control all the Fengjun units outside the Pass and outside the Great Wall, and was fully responsible for the war against Zhili.
The second war in the history of the Republic of China finally kicked off. Not only was it huge in scale, but it was also far more violent than the previous war between Zhiwan and Anhui. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 622 The Zhifeng War (Part 2)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing, Guo Songling and Sun Liechen jointly formulated the Fengjun's combat plan in the pass: the 16th Division Zhang Jinghui's troops will defend the important town of Zhangyuan (Zhangjiakou); the 5th Division Zhao Enzhen's troops will defend Jixian County.
Because Tianjin is an important financial source within the Fengjun Pass and the "dragon vein" place where Zhang Hanqing's automobile industry emerged, it is the main attack direction of the Zhili Army. Therefore, the North China Command decided to withdraw the main force of Jing Youyan's elite 28th Division from Langfang and Xianghe to Tianjin City, and cooperate with Zhang Zongchang's "Foreign Corps" who took the opportunity to retreat from Shandong and the 20th elite Northeast Frontier Defense Force who provided emergency assistance. The 7th Division and the 4th Division of the Northeast Road Guard Corps, Xing Shilian's troops, joined together to form the main force of about 100,000 people.
The Feng army deployed defenses along the east side of the canal, with the main force of the navy providing support from Tanggu, relying on the Haihe River to hold on and prepare for a strategic decisive battle.
Zhang Zuolin ordered Wu Jun to be promoted to commander-in-chief of the rear area, and collected vehicles and troops on the Beijing-Fengtian line to prepare for immediate assistance. For safety reasons, Sun Yixian was transferred to Qinhuangdao. Here is Zhang Hanqing's recently established Marine Corps brigade and tank unit, and it is also the place where Zhang Hanqing fought to the death to protect it. Although everything would be fine if he retreated to Shanhaiguan behind him, Zhang Hanqing had decided not to take a step back no matter what.
In Ji County, the Lu Zhonglin Brigade of Feng Department and the only regiment behind the 5th Division of Feng Army faced each other across the river along the Ji Canal. Lu followed Feng Zhi's deployment and adopted a step-by-step strategy, forming a long tower-shaped line from Beijing to the front line. There were only a few sparse soldiers in the front, and the troops became thicker toward the rear.
The weakest northern fronts of the two armies of the Zhili and Fengxi armies are in a state of testing each other: Wang Huaiqing of the Zhili clique has only a small number of troops, and the training has not yet been completed, so he is wary of the Fengjun Zhang Jinghui 16th Division, which has nearly 20,000 reorganized divisions. Wang Huaiqing was born as a guard and eventually became the commander of the garrison in the capital, but perhaps because of this, he developed a cautious style.
The two sides advanced quietly and alternately for nearly five days before the vanguard encountered Xuanhua on the north bank of Yanghe River.
Zhang Hanqing clearly knew that it was Zhang Jinghui’s inaction in the war against Zhili that directly led to the total defeat of the Fengtian clique in the first war between Zhili and Fengtian in history. Therefore, he was asked to defend Zhang Yuan from the beginning of the plan, so that even if he lost, it would not affect the overall situation of the main battlefield in the south. As expected, Zhang Jinghui was indeed afraid of the enemy, had no determination in fighting, and was slow in action.
On the contrary, it was because of this that Wang Huaiqing did not dare to underestimate the enemy and carefully moved for 5 days. It's true that stupid people are blessed, and they can fight wolves with a straw - they are afraid of both sides.
Therefore, although both sides dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, the fighting on the battlefield was not fierce.
However, Cao Kun's election bribery had a very bad political impact. The southern provinces responded to Sun Yat-sen's call one after another and refused to recognize the legitimacy of the Beijing government. Those who electrified and reprimanded, or formed an army to prepare for war, and even worse, those who wanted to respond to the Kuomintang's call for the Northern Expedition, became increasingly noisy.
The troops of the Northwestern Command of the People's Army have successively moved towards Luoyang under the order of Han Linchun, and the troops of the Central China Command have also moved north along the Beijing-Hankong Line with two divisions, confronting the Zhili Army under the city of Zhengzhou on the south bank of the Yellow River. The stalemate situation is unfavorable to the Zhili army: if the Fengci within the pass are not captured as soon as possible, once Zhengzhou is breached by the People's Army, it will be attacked from both sides.
On October 22, various units of the Fengjun Army arrived in Tianjin one after another. At this point, the Fengjun Army on the front line in Tianjin had reached 3 divisions and a "foreign corps" of slightly less than 30,000 people, totaling 100,000 people. It had a slight advantage in terms of military strength.
According to the convention of 2:1 attack and defense, Peng Shouxin's 1st Route Army would not be able to break through this line of defense anyway. Over time, it will be beneficial to Fengjun. Because the four divisions guarding the Yellow River front are definitely no match for the nine divisions of the People's Army in northwest and central China.
So Wu Peifu sent Wang Chengbin, deputy commander-in-chief of the direct line, as commander-in-chief of the rear army, led two divisions to support the front line, and assumed the authority of acting commander-in-chief. However, Wu was wrong again this time, because Wang Chengbin had always been dissatisfied with Wu Peifu. After the split within the Zhili clique, he was the leader of the "Jin faction" and fought against Cao Kun's "Bao faction" and Wu Peifu's "Luo" faction.
He also played a lot of part in bribing the election, but when there was a wave of opposition across the country and the three-party anti-Zhili alliance was established, he believed that the prospects were not good for the Zhili faction, so he secretly left a way out.
He was originally from Shenyang, and he had flirted with Zhang Zuolin before. Otherwise, the Feng Clan was entangled in Tianjin, and even the Fengjun headquarters outside Guanguan was located here. How could he, the governor of Zhili Province (stationed in Tianjin), get along peacefully with the Feng Clan for several years? Years without any scandal?
Before the war, he had actually secretly contacted Feng Yuxiang and conspired to participate in the overthrow of Wu. Naturally, he would not fight a tough battle on the front line. Wu Peifu even later scolded him for "losing his righteousness for small gains, causing pain to his relatives and happiness to his enemies."
"Seeing the main forces of the Zhizhi Army in Beijing being transferred to the front line one after another, Feng Yuxiang watched with joy. He took the opportunity to ask Wu for military expenses. Wu PeiWhen the army was about to be used, although he was angry, he had no choice but to pay 100,000 yuan, which was later increased to 150,000 yuan. Only then did Feng Yuxiang reluctantly accept the order and lead his troops to Langfang in person.
It’s not that Wu Peifu didn’t want to remove Feng Yuxiang as commander of the Third Route Army to eliminate future troubles, but President Cao Kun interceded for him. When the main force was on the front line, Wu Peifu did not have enough courage to have a fierce battle with Feng Yuxiang first.
You must know that the military discipline of Feng Yuxiang's army at that time was the best among the Beiyang Army except the People's Army: Feng Yuxiang followed the practices of the People's Army. Soldiers paid for tickets when riding on the bus and gave money to buy eggs. This was said to be a good talk. This army has The combat effectiveness of the soul army is terrifying.
Most of Feng Yuxiang's soldiers were recruited from the countryside of Shandong and Cangzhou, Hebei. They are characterized by their simplicity, bravery and simple mind. Although Feng Jun's weapons were inferior, in close combat everyone wielded a large blade and slashed wildly, which was particularly impactful.
Most of the senior officers promoted by Feng later started from his guard camp. Among them, famous generals such as Han Fuqu, Shi Yousan, and Zhang Zizhong all started here. Therefore, they were very loyal to Feng in the early days. Even when Duan Qirui of the Anhui faction wanted to remove Feng Yuxiang Feng Jun's entire brigade fought to the death, and the Duan government was forced to withdraw its orders.
Due to various reasons, Wu Peifu’s plan to free Feng was not carried out. When Feng Yuxiang arrived at the front line of Ji County, he asked for an additional million rounds of rifle ammunition on the pretext of the enemy's superiority. Wu Peifu was even more worried about Feng, so he refused to issue it to him, and thought bitterly that after the war was won, no matter what, he would We must capture this rebellious warlord.
Wu Peifu originally planned to send the navy to raid the coastal ports of Fengjun to create instability in the rear of Fengjun. However, the commander of the Bohai Fleet, Wen Shude, was originally a fence-sitter and did not work hard in the battle. He had six warships and more than 20 transport ships transporting the navy and army. They had nothing to do all day long and never fired a single shot at Tanggu.
According to Zhang Hanqing’s plan, before Feng Yuxiang’s troops gained an absolute upper hand in Beijing, he would continue to put pressure on the frontline troops to force Wu Peifu to continue to increase troops to the front and create opportunities for Feng Yuxiang. But this is a double-edged sword. As the Zhijun army strengthens its front line in Tianjin, Fengjun's defense is under increasing pressure.
On October 26, the 1st Route Army, with Dong Zhengguo as the main force, used the 9th and 21st elite divisions to attack Jinghai County on the left flank guarded by Fengjun Jiang Dengxuan's 27th Division. The two main divisions led by Wang Weicheng launched a group charge at the regiment level against Zhang Zongchang's troops on the Fengjun front line.
For a moment, the cannons from both sides roared, gunshots were fired, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and blood flew everywhere.
Since the two new divisions directly affiliated with Wang Chengbin had not yet joined the battle group, Sun Liechen, Zhang Hanqing, Ji Jinchun, Guo Songling and others decided to add one brigade of the 5th Division to the forward wing after holding a military meeting at the Fengjun Headquarters outside the Pass in Tianjin. , the headquarters retains the 28th Division and 2 brigades as the general reserve.
The 27th Division is the army where Zhang Zuolin started, and it has always been one of the main forces of the Fengcheng Clique. From Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang to Jiang Dengxuan, several commanders have become the leaders of the Fengcheng Clique.
This force was originally the treasure of the mountain, but the strength of the Fengjun outside the pass was too weak. For a while, Japan should not be able to make large-scale changes to the Northeast, because even if it mobilized two divisions, there would still be five divisions. Be on the lookout
Since Jiang Dengxuan served as the Organization Minister and Director of the General Political Department of the People's Party, he has not been able to effectively manage the People's Army in the pass, and Fengjun's reorganization has been tepid, so he asked Jiang Dengxuan to concurrently serve as the division commander of the 27th Division. Because the duty of the 27th Division is to guard the home, it does not have a big impact on his other two part-time duties. It can also effectively control the situation in Northeast China after entering the customs.
He is one of the Five Tiger Generals in history and one of Zhang Zuolin’s most trustworthy generals. People at the time commented that he was "generous and generous, but he did not care about wealth, he was amiable, he could share joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and he valued justice over profit." Zhang Hanqing also said that he was "quite prestigious and a good political player." Although he had no chance to fight, he was a loyal minister and general under the Zhang family and his son.
Sun Liechen and Zhang Hanqing put him in charge of the left wing, which was very important and reassuring. The 27th Division is an "elite division" composed of 3 brigades and 9 regiments. It has more than 27,000 people in total and is well equipped. With the advantage of the canal, it should not be able to overturn the situation in an instant.
????????????????????? However, the Zhizhi army is pressing the border, but they dare not make any mistakes on the front line. After suffering the first attack from the Zhili Army, Zhang Hanqing personally led a brigade of officers and soldiers to rush to the rescue to prevent Zhang Zongchang's troops from mutiny. In Zhang Hanqing's mind, Zhang Zongchang had great achievements, but most of them were just a fluke. Suppressing bandits and fighting Asian cavalry divisions are not considered bad battles. After all, defeating the enemy with more numbers and fewer enemies has logistical worries.
After half a day of fierce fighting, even Jiang Dengxuan, who led the 27th Division, which is famous for fighting hard battles, shouted cruelly. I don't know how Zongchang's troops were going to collapse. If Zhang Zongchang's troops were defeated and fled, battlefield discipline would have to be enforced. He has arranged for Gao Weiyue, chief of staff of the 5th Division, to personally lead the elite 33rd Brigade to provide reinforcements behind him to deal with the scattered deserters. The strength is sufficient.
But by the time Zhang Hanqing rushed to the main battlefield east of Fengrun County in a hurry, the sound of gunfire had stopped. He suspected that the position had been lost, and was waiting for an order to report back from the vanguard. A staff officer pointed to a flag in the distance and said: "Young Marshal, the position is still there."
This is the five-color military flag of Fengjun. It stands on a small hill in the distance and stretches into the wind.
Zhang Hanqing made up his mind: The fact that the military flag is still there at such a distance means that the Zhili Army has not advanced much. But with the strength of the direct army's attack, how could this miscellaneous army have such strong resistance? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Because the position had been lost, and just as he was waiting for an order to report back from the vanguard, a staff officer pointed to a flag in the distance and said: "Young Marshal, the position is still there."

After walking through the trenches, Zhang Hanqing saw calm faces. These "United Forces" with different faces, heights and skin colors, the only thing they have in common is the military uniform worn by Guan Fengjun. The roaring cannons for the first half of the day were clearly heard by the Chinese army more than ten miles away. Why didn't the person involved feel much? He looked at Zhang Zongchang who was greeted by the news in shock, and asked: "General Zhang, what are the casualties of your unit?"
Although Zhang Zongchang is a rough old man and usually unruly, Zhang Hanqing still respects and respects him. While leading Zhang Hanqing to his headquarters, he replied: "Young Marshal, our department fought with the Zhili Army for half a day, killing more than 350 people and injuring more than 800 people. We repelled the enemy's 6 group charges and killed about 3,000 enemy soldiers. People. At present, the enemy has taken the initiative to stop attacking, and our army's position is as stable as Mount Tai!"
Zhang Hanqing said suspiciously: "Wang Weicheng's headquarters on the opposite side is the main force of the Zhili Army. Even if our army has geographical advantages, the disparity in casualties should not be so big, right?"
In his previous life, he had watched many movies about the Kuomintang army’s battles, and there were endless tricks by officers to turn defeat into victory and exaggerate the results of battles. Isn't this Zongchang also suffering from this problem? For the general, any untrue words may affect the judgment of the battlefield situation. He will not easily listen to the "win results" that are talked about in the night!
Zhang Zongchang could see that the young marshal didn't believe it. Before he could say anything more, suddenly there was a loud "bang" from the opposite side, and a new round of shelling began. Zhang Zongchang pointed to the Fengjun position in front and said with a smile: "Young Marshal, please watch carefully how these bastards deal with the Zhili Army!"
Zhang Hanqing raised his telescope. In his previous life, he had only seen in movies and TV shows high-ranking military officers looking around with telescopes in hand, looking very arrogant. Finally, he had the opportunity to visit the battlefield in person. He heard the sound of shells whizzing by, but he felt that he could not feel confident at all.
According to the view of joint infantry and artillery operations in military textbooks, after the artillery row, the infantry charges. The 33rd Brigade led by Zhang Hanqing quickly entered the position under his personal leadership. A vanguard battalion took over the jurisdiction of the battalion headquarters where the "Foreign Legion" suffered the heaviest casualties. After some arrangements, it was ready for battle.
Zhang Hanqing discovered a strange phenomenon through the telescope: these motley crews of the "Foreign Legion" were really battle-hardened. When the cannons roared, no one showed up to visit. They were all lying in the trenches, smoking and sleeping. , chatting, chatting, not paying attention to the explosion next to them.
When we looked further ahead, we saw the corpses of countless soldiers lying scattered in front of the position. It looked like the military uniforms belonged to the Zhijun Army.
The shelling stopped, and the Zhizhi Army launched another group attack. Perhaps they were afraid of being beaten a few times before, so they all aimed at their waists and carefully touched the Fengjun position.
There was no movement from Fengjun, and Zhang Hanqing's eyes fell on a group of White Russian soldiers at the front line. They turned their backs to the trenches and squinted their eyes to concentrate, paying no attention to the enemy troops who were only a few dozen meters behind them. The distance was so close that it seemed that as long as the Zhizhi army charged, they could cross the trench in an instant.
Not far away, the regular battalion of the 33rd Brigade has begun to fight back. The commander gave the order, and hundreds of guns were fired at once, immediately knocking down dozens of Zhili troops. However, the Zhizhi army responded quickly. The soldiers behind them quickly crawled on the spot, set up their machine guns, and fired wildly, suppressing the Feng army in the trenches until they could not lift their heads.
Under the suppression of machine guns, the infantry moved forward quickly. When Feng Jun raised his head and wanted to continue fighting, the roaring bullets immediately beat him into a sieve. Fengjun's machine guns quickly carried out counter-suppression, but still could not stop the Zhili army from moving forward in the gap. Although several people fell down every inch they advanced, there were always Fengjun officers and soldiers hit by stray bullets. Both sides relied on courage, blood and corpses for support.
But the Belarusian soldiers’ position next to it is not like this. The same number of straight soldiers poured in, the same or even slightly worse firepower configuration, and the fighting style was completely different: at the command of a lookout commander, the White Russian soldiers in the trenches raised their guns and fired a volley, achieving fire suppression in an instant. Moreover, he quickly leaned down, loaded the bullets, fired with lightning speed, and then leaned down again. He was indeed well-trained.
This tactic is really miraculous. With every volley, a row of straight soldiers fell down like cutting Philippine vegetables. Not long after, the front of the position was in a mess again, and there were large bodies of corpses in front of the trenches that had just been cleaned up. The casualties of the "Foreign Legion" soldiers were really not much.
In the end, the Zhili army was unable to withstand the huge casualties and retreated like a tide, leaving nearly a thousand corpses behind. Counting the casualties of Fengjun, Zhang Zongchang's troops lost more than a hundred people, while the newly joined 33rd Brigade was only responsible for about one-tenth of the plane, and nearly a hundred people died in the battle.
Zhang Hanqing keenly discovered the benefits of this tactic. He immediately arranged for Gao Weiyue to convey the experience to various officers. He praised Zhang Zongchang for his powerful command and recorded his military exploits in the name of the former enemy's commander-in-chief.
This battle made Zhang Hanqing look at Zhang Zongchang with admiration.
?However, for "Pork General" Zhang Zongchang, what misses him most is not this achievement, but his pride as a "poet". He heard that the young marshal could write poetry and was a versatile commander in both civil and military affairs. As early as when he entered Shandong Province, he wrote a collection of poems and wanted to compete with the young marshal. Now that the young commander is there, of course he has a chance to test his skills.
He ignored the raging war and took advantage of Zhang Hanqing's peace of mind that the enemy was retreating. He took advantage of the situation and said, "Young Marshal, I heard that you are a good poet. You have also written a few poems. Please evaluate them."
Zhang Hanqing also heard that this big boss published a collection of poems in Shandong, "I have no chance to read it, but I have longed for it." He also likes to be a teacher. Since the war is not a problem, of course he does not want to refute the honor of this veteran Fengjun general. He is happy to relax and says, "What great achievements does the general have?"
Zhang Zongchang said: "The cannons were blasting just now, and I, Lao Zhang, composed an impromptu poem."
At the moment, the heavens above the head are proud of the earth, the sound is affectionate, the words are 铿, the heroic picture is overflowing on the paper. The poem is named "I also write a big style of the wind":
"The cannons are firing to blast his mother, and Weijia is returning to his hometown. The heroes are Zhang Zongchang, and the giant whale is swallowing the fusang."
Zhang Hanqing laughed so loudly that he almost choked with tears. However, after regaining his composure, he still praised him: "What a poem!" Then he said seriously to the staff members who were hunched over in laughter: "General Zhang speaks well and can be called a battlefield poet!"
Zhang Zongchang grinned. As the saying goes, my parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and the young commander who knows me is the one who knows me. How happy it is to be praised by a young commander for your poems while you are still alive!
Regarding the safety of the front line, Zhang Hanqing finally felt relieved. He handed over Gao Weiyue's troops to the command of Zhang Zongchang and returned to the former enemy headquarters.
In order to further stimulate Wu Peifu, Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Hanqing, Guo Songling and others decided to take the lead in opening up the situation with Yijun in the middle of the weaker opponent. That night, Zhang Hanqing mobilized all artillery regiments of the two divisions overnight, together with a regiment of the Shenyang Independent Artillery, a total of more than 100 cannons, and deployed them at the front of the position, aiming to target the Zhili Mi Zhenbiao Department.

Chapter 624 Everyone takes the lead

In the early morning of the next day, the Fengjun artillery launched a salvo, firing three base rounds of ammunition within 10 minutes. In an instant, the Mi Zhenbiao headquarters withstood thousands of artillery shells, and the Zhili army suffered a devastating blow.
Without waiting for the Zhili Army to wake up from the explosion, the three regiments of the 54th Brigade of the 27th Division rushed out across the entire line. Regardless of the cost, casualties, taking no prisoners, and without stopping, they plunged into the rear positions of the Zhili Army in the thick smoke. The subsequent troops quickly followed up and quickly opened a large hole in the Zhili army's defense.
For a long time, there have been few such sharp battles between the Beiyang armies, and they were completely life-and-death battles. Like the Zhi-Anhui War, after the war, it was concluded that the actual number of casualties in the Anhui army was only a few thousand, but there were tens of thousands of prisoners. Everyone is from the Beiyang lineage. Although they are each their own masters, they still have friendship with each other when they are not fighting.
But Fengjun is an exception. Originally, they lived in a corner outside the pass and did not have deep friendships with the various factions within the pass. After Zhang Hanqing's sudden rise, military training, enhanced political work, and good equipment have qualitatively improved Fengjun's combat effectiveness.
A war is a war, and the Feng clique's army is not like the Zhizhi and Anhui cliques who openly make enemies and secretly cultivate friendships. Although Zhang Hanqing had not been in the army for a long time, his effective methods were still copied by Zhang Zuolin and others. Although the resemblance is only spiritual, it is true that Fengjun's spirit, energy, and spirit have greatly improved.
Especially after Zhang Hanqing was officially established as the successor of the Feng clique, the influence of the People's Party increased day by day. The slogan "Listen to the party's command and you can win the war" has gone from propaganda to forming a systematic organizational guarantee, allowing the People's Party to establish its control over the military.
The principal officers at all levels study how to lead troops to fight, the political departments at all levels study how to improve the morale and ideological education of officers and soldiers, and the staff departments at all levels have formed a complete military order system. The habits that are common among other warlords are in the service department. The army gradually lost its market, and it was even rarer in the People's Army.
Moreover, the 27th Division is originally the elite of the Fengjun Army, and it is also the Fengjun Army that Zhang Hanqing values ????most. Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang, and Jiang Dengxuan have successively served as division commanders. It is the only division in the Fengjun Army besides the Guard Brigade (Division) and the First Division. Zhang Hanqing was the most imprinted army. As the team where Zhang Zuolin started, even after he was promoted to a very high-level position, he still paid no less attention and care to it.
The 27th Division has always regarded Wu Peifu's Third Division as a reference and imaginary enemy. Successive division commanders have regarded defeating the Third Division as an important military task. You must know that the Third Division originally had three mixed brigades, which were later increased to five. The 27th Division had to fight one against two.
So when it encounters Yijun, who is generally weaker, it is like cutting butter with a sickle, beating the opponent until he has no temper at all.
In just one round, Mi Zhenbiao's troops were defeated. The nearby 13th Mixed Brigade of Feng Yurong's Zhili Army did not want to support Feng's army while they were expanding their results. Open a gap and cut off the connection between Peng Shouxin's front army and Wang Chengbin's reinforcements. Wang Chengbin had no intention of fighting, so he took the opportunity to retreat to Langfang.
Peng Shouxin was unable to support himself, so Sun Liechen issued an order for a general attack. Three hours later, the Zhili army was completely defeated. Peng Shouxin had no choice but to issue an order to retreat. The Zhizhi army was captured and suffered more than 20,000 casualties. Ordnance and food were piled up everywhere. On the one hand, Fengjun collected the Zhijun's ordnance, and on the other hand, he counted the spoils of war, and the harvest was extremely fruitful.
In this battle, the 27th Division defended calmly and attacked vigorously, fully demonstrating the style of the main force of the Feng Dynasty. In particular, the 21-year-old Major General of the 54th Brigade commanded the troops well and attacked decisively at the right time, laying the foundation for victory and thus becoming famous in one battle.
He is the second son of the veteran Zhang Zuoxiang, which fully shows that the tiger father has no dogs and sons is by no means a literary exaggeration.
When the Zhizhi troops on the left and right heard the defeat in the middle, they retreated at the same time. Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing divided their forces into two groups, the left and right, and jointly attacked Langfang. At this time, the war had turned into a strategic offensive by Feng Jun.
The Zhili troops were in trouble on the front line, and Wu Peifu was not having an easy time either. Rumors were flying all over the city of Beijing, and most of the battle reports ahead were unfavorable to the Zhizhi Army. There were rumors that Peng Shouxin, commander of the First Army, had been killed in battle, and there were rumors that a certain army had mutinied, which shocked Wu Peifu three times a day.
The military situation at the front was not conducive to the Zhili army, and Cao Kun was favoring him. He felt a thorn in his back when Wu Peifu was in Beijing, so he encouraged Cao Kun to urge Wu to go to the front line to command the military. Cao's lieutenants said: "If I were to be the commander-in-chief in Beijing, anyone would do it!"
At 9 a.m. on October 26, Wu Peifu took the special car of the Commander-in-Chief of the Rebel Army, departing from Zhengyangmen in Beijing and heading straight to Langfang. The main reason why Wu Peifu went to the front line was not the anti-Wu faction under Cao Kun, but the unfavorable battle situation on the front line, and the fact that the naval raid plan was hindered.
??This time to supervise the war, personnel from the rebel army headquarters accompanied them, as well as more than 100 foreign military attachés and journalists traveling with the vehicle. The momentum was huge. During the civil war scenes in the early years of the Republic of China,??It can be said to be unprecedented.
Before setting off, Wu Peifu, in order to boost morale, scolded Zhang Zuolin: "The horse thief in the white mountains and black waters is as ruthless as Lu Bu and as fierce as Zhu Wen. He is not of my race and cannot be transformed by virtue."
At 1:30 pm that day, Wu Peifu’s special car arrived in Langfang and parked directly next to the station. Wu Peifu immediately led his staff and guards to the front line to inspect the battle situation. At this time, the two armies of Zhizhi and Fengxi were fighting fiercely at the edge of Yongqing County. The rumble of cannons shook the earth and the smoke of gunfire rose slowly.
The news that Wu Peifu went to the front line spread throughout the Zhili Army, which greatly boosted the morale of the army. When Feng Yurong, a general from Tongfeng, heard that Wu had arrived at the front line, he committed suicide out of fear of crime! Wu Sui directly dispatched thirteen mixed brigades and built another position to stabilize his position.
After Wu personally went to the front line, the headquarters of the rebel army was set up in Wu's special car. The troops directly under Wu's headquarters set up tents in the station. Wu got up early every day and went out with his staff from the chief of staff level down for inspections, so he changed his battle plan and devoted all his strength to deal with Zhang Hanqing's department on the right wing of the Feng army. He ordered Chief of Staff Zhang Huaizhi to lead a division to advance along the Yongding River mouth towards Beichen and advance towards Tianjin.
After a fierce battle, Zhang Huaizhi's army captured Beichen the next day, making the battle situation gradually more favorable. Sun Liechen ordered Jing Youyan's 28th main division to come out and confront it at the mouth of Haihe River.
Since October 27, Wu Peifu used all 8 direct divisions and a mixed brigade with about 150,000 people to attack the Fengjun defense line in turns. Especially the third division he founded has more people than the "elite divisions" of the Feng clan, and the equipment is not as generous. It has been in the war for many years, and its force value is amazing.
Seeing Wu Shuai's personal command and the incomparable bravery of the Third Division, the other direct armies were greatly affected and began to display their extraordinary abilities again. The powerful forces collided, and by October 30, both sides suffered 10,000 casualties.
The battle situation is at a stalemate, and both sides are extremely anxious. Wu Peifu was worried that the old camp in Henan would be in danger if he stayed for one more day, so he tried every means to attack the Feng Clan's must-rescue and divide the Feng Clan's army, so as to hit the target with one blow and defeat the powerful enemy on the opposite side, achieving "concentrate the strength to defeat them first from the north and then from the south." strategic decisions.
Zhang Hanqing no longer has a reserve team at this time. If Wu Peifu knew that the defenses of his most important industrial bases, such as Tianjin Automobile Factory and Tangshan Machine Tool Factory, had been mobilized, and attacked these places with even a small number of troops, would he have to dispatch without completing the training? Artillery and armed police forces? For this reason, he even prepared for the worst.
And when Wu Peifu brought his main force to gather the Zhili army, the Wu army that concentrated the main force of the Feng faction was much more than the Feng army. Just with fewer people versus more people, the pressure was already obvious in a head-to-head confrontation.
It’s time to bring out his trump card.
He ordered Feng Yong, the commander of the Northeast Aviation Department who was on standby in Qinhuangdao, to dispatch all 4 seaplane squadrons, 1 US-aided aircraft squadron, and a reconnaissance squadron composed of 4 reconnaissance aircraft to fly to Tianjin's Zhangguizhuang Airport. , prepare to use the Feng system’s air superiority to defeat the enemy.
Feng Yong was an old acquaintance of his. After Feng Delin lost power, he was able to peacefully control the 28th Division. As the eldest son of former division commander Feng Delin, Feng Yong's intervention played a big role. Therefore, even though he and Zhang Zuolin had a long-standing feud, Zhang Hanqing still made Feng Yong his senior staff, and prepared for the establishment of the Fengxian Air Force and witnessed its development.
The Northeast Aviation Department was affiliated to the Liaoning War-General's Office, later the Northeast Patrol Envoy's Office, and the Military Committee of the National Unification Council. It was under the direct responsibility of Zhang Hanqing, so it grew rapidly: there was a steady stream of capital investment and talent joining, and a relatively strong team. Industrial support. Zhang Hanqing also ordered that all needs of the Aviation Department be handled directly by Niu Yuanfeng, the Minister of General Military Supplies of Fengjun.
The Air Force is China’s best military branch and the one closest to the strength of other countries. Because no country paid much attention to it at that time, even though China's military industry was weak, it also achieved the best development. The Harbin seaplane test base produces a new aircraft every few months. If it hadn't always failed to meet Zhang Hanqing's requirements, why would the Fengtian faction only assemble two "Shuih-1" squadrons every year?
Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste. China under its own rule will definitely improve the development of its air force to an incomparable level. This is China's trick to take shortcuts at this stage. Correspondingly, it will be a great development of air transportation in the future. Therefore, very early on, Zhang Hanqing and Feng Yong planned to build an airport under the Feng clan.
Because the flight range of early aircraft was small, there must be at least one within a distance of two to three hundred kilometers. The planned aviation route map was densely populated in many large and medium-sized cities, starting from Harbin, Changchun, Siping, Shenyang The construction of 6 airports has started in advance in Qinhuangdao, Qinhuangdao and Tianjin. Tianjin's airport, located in Zhangguizhuang on the Bohai Sea, later became Binhai International Airport.
Tianjin Airport has the most complete facilities. Zhang Hanqing originally planned to use Tianjin as an important town to guard the pass. Tianjin was called Tianjin Wei in ancient times and was originally an important maritime defense line for Beijing.
"Shuihong-1" has a maximum range of 450 kilometers and a combat radius of about 200 kilometers. It can fly directly from Qinhuangdao. After refueling here, Beijing, Tangshan, Dezhou and other places are within its attack range. The Zhili and Fengcheng front lines have been unable to hold out for a long time. It is time to use this extraordinary force to break the deadlock. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)You can fly directly to the island.

Chapter 625 After the Air Raid
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The Zhijun army, who was working up the courage to charge towards the Fengjun position, suddenly heard a "buzzing" sound coming from the sky. The sound started like a wasp coming out of its lair, and then got louder and closer, until everyone saw a "buzzing" sound coming from the sky. Here comes a swarm of locust-like things.
These monsters run very fast, and the sound of the propellers turning makes people feel heartbroken. The key is that there seems to be someone inside. As the plane suddenly plunged downwards, a sharp-eyed soldier shouted: "There is someone inside!"
“My dear, are you a trapeze artist? This was the first time I saw a trapeze artist after I was born. The officers and soldiers looked up in surprise, and the frontline commander also reported the situation to Wu Peifu urgently.
Wu Peifu still has his own intelligence channels. Zhang Hanqing was operating an airplane, so there was no way he wouldn't know about such a big move. However, having never experienced an airplane, he could not figure out why the young commander spent so much money on these rare gadgets. Since the Fengtian Air Force's test area was highly sealed, outsiders had no way of knowing its combat status, so Lao Wu didn't know its huge role either.
He also saw these "flying birds" and was shocked. While receiving inquiries from the frontline commander, he also heard a huge explosion.
These things are here to throw bombs!
Although there are some examples of rifles shooting down primitive fighters and bombers in later generations, the Zhili army did not know the key points at first. After the water plane dived and completed the bomb-throwing action, they raised their wings and flew high. By this time, the ground was filled with smoke and shrapnel was flying everywhere.
The intensive attack was disrupted by the intensive bombs. The unprepared and unsuspecting Zhizhi army suffered heavy losses: hundreds of people died on the spot and thousands of people were injured. The critical psychological injury was fatal, and the fighting confidence of the frontline troops was completely shattered - Fengjun's artillery fire was so fierce, and there were murderous weapons emerging from the sky, how could this be possible!
The first air raid in the history of Chinese war was born. Although the "Water Bomb-1" only carried 6 heavy bombs at this time, considering the lack of air defense awareness, when 95 aircraft carrying nearly 600 bombs fell from the sky densely, Its deterrence is greater than the continuous fire of hundreds of cannons.
Is ignorance equal to mystery?
The fly in the ointment is that a mechanical failure was left in the sea next to the Tianjin Airport - the airport was only built for U.S. aid aircraft and logistics convenience, and the water planes had to find water nearby. However, everyone from Zhang Hanqing to Feng Yong was very pleased, because compared to the industrial level at that time, the average "work loss rate" of one percent was already quite good.
Although the generals of the Zhili Army were severely beaten by the air raid, they were not in chaos. Although some people died, it was mainly due to lack of experience. The Fengtian aircraft returned after dropping the bombs, making the Zhili Army aware of its shortcomings: its bomb load was limited.
This is the truth. Zhang Hanqing has already dispatched all his "air force", and due to technical immaturity, it will take more than half a day to complete the second raid.
Under this circumstance, Wu Peifu issued an attack order, requiring the Zhili army to launch a fierce attack during the interval when the Fengtian air force came again. As long as Fengjun's position is broken through, the bombs in the sky will not explode randomly. Moreover, with so many troops directly connected, even if they are opened up and allowed to explode, they will not lose much power.
He ordered to publicize to the Zhizhi Army: The best way to avoid being bombed in the sky and on the ground is to rush into the Fengjun position in one go! Because compared to the bombs overhead, the oncoming artillery shells seemed less scary.
In order to maximize the possibility of forming a local advantage, Wu Peifu transferred more than 10,000 people from the Gyeonggi garrison from Beijing to join the front line. The city of Beijing was empty, but Fengjun was overwhelmed by Zhili's fierce attack.
Zhang Hanqing then sent a series of secret messages, asking Feng Yuxiang to mutiny immediately behind the Zhili Army to cut off its retreat, create a flanking attack from two sides, accelerate the defeat of the Zhili Army, and reduce the casualties of the Feng Army.
But Feng himself was standing still in Langfang, sitting back and watching the success or failure. He proposed to postpone the coup on the pretext that the direct army in Beijing was still strong, Wu Peifu was not far from the city, and the officers and soldiers had not received the funds allocated by Wu Zhikai.
????????????????????????????????????????????????Outside of “putting forward” the idea of ??suspending the coup, isn’t he the one who has the final say? Can Zhang Hanqing still force the case to be dismissed? As for worrying about the strength of the Zhili Army, this is completely an excuse: the Zhili Army is now mobilized frequently on the North and South Roads, and the numbers of the various units that appear on the battlefield fully indicate that the Zhili Army has been mobilized in full force.
It’s a good excuse to charge fees. Does he want money?
In fact, although Feng Yuxiang was dissatisfied with Cao Kun's election bribery, he had no favorable impression of Fengjun: Although Zhang Zuolin repeatedly supported Sun Yixian, he still colluded with Duan Qirui of the Anhui clique. According to the news received by Japanese military adviser Masujiro Okano from Japanese intelligence personnel, when Zhang Hanqing met with Duan Qirui in the Japanese Concession, he personally promised that after defeating the Zhili clique, he would still use Duan Qirui as the candidate to organize the government.??
This news made him unhappy, and at the same time, the public case deep in his heart came to mind again.
Five years ago, Lu Jianzhang, his wife's uncle and his mentor, was shot to death in a joint plot by Duan Qirui's important adviser Xu Shuzheng and Zhang Zuolin's general counselor Yang Yuting. At that time, he was out of power and had no choice but to endure this bloody feud and not only never mentioned it. , and volunteered to be transferred to Fujian to attack Guangdong to avoid disaster. This hatred is buried deep in my heart, always waiting for an opportunity to come out.
He has no good opinion of the Anhui clique, and he cannot tolerate Duan Qirui being in power again. If Fengjun did not take Sun Yat-sen as the leader after the war, he would resolutely fight to the death with Fengjun. Rather than then, it would be better for both sides to fight to the death now. Then when the two sides meet in the future, the division that Fengjun defeated miserably will not be able to gain an advantage over itself no matter what.
Zhang Hanqing ordered Han Linchun's troops to conquer Zhengzhou as soon as possible at any cost in order to advance into the empty home base of Hebei. Zhang Fulai and Xiao Yaonan, the two division commanders and commanders of the Zhili Army guarding Zhengzhou and Kaifeng, also knew that this was a critical moment for the success or failure of both sides. The division's nearly 100,000 men refused to stay south of the Yellow River.
Although the situation is urgent, it is still not easy for the People's Army to open up the situation in the short term.
Zhang Hanqing also understood that he was too wishful thinking: the development of history was indeed carried out according to his previous ideas, but through his efforts, the history that was carried out in advance has slowly deviated from the track it should proceed on. Things that were easy to accomplish in the past are not the case now.
He had to hold another meeting with Sun Liechen, Ji Jinchun, Guo Songling and others to discuss the development of the situation.
Under Wu Peifu’s forced order, Wang Huaiqing’s troops on the northern front finally made progress. Following the capture of Xuanhua on November 1, the troops divided into two groups to outflank Zhang Yuan on the 2nd. Zhang Jinghui was in a hurry after receiving the call, so he had the idea of ????abandoning Zhang Yuan and retreating to Zhang Bei to wait for action. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 626 Beijing Coup
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The Bohai Fleet, which has been unable to work hard, is also anchored and ready to go. According to news from the "Feng Intelligence Bureau", fleet commander Wen Shude has loaded up about a brigade of troops, escorted by the main fleet, and is preparing to land in Beidaihe to attack the Feng army's retreat.
On the one hand, Zhang Hanqing believed that the situation was too difficult to get out of, and there was no other way but to carry it on. Otherwise, once Fengjun was defeated and retreated, Feng Yuxiang would not dare to do such a self-defeating thing when the Zhili army was at its peak. Instead, he might force Fengjun to withdraw from the border and miss a good political opportunity. On the other hand, he was a little hesitant, worried that Feng Yuxiang would eventually give up his plan to fight back, and the army would go out this time in vain.
But now Feng Yuxiang is just waiting for a price. How can he show his devotion to truth, justice, revolution, and the country?
It is no wonder that in official history, he is the private antagonist of the top leaders of the Communist Party, a "hypocrite" and a person with questionable style. At least Mao Zedong took him with him when he criticized General Peng: "People (Lin Biao) said that you He is a hypocrite, like Feng Yuxiang" Liu Shaoqi also criticized Mr. Peng with "Wei Yan's bones, Zhukov's party spirit, and Feng Yuxiang's style."
From this point of view, in front of his wife Liu Dezhen's hospital room that day, he talked to himself about his belief in Sun Yat-sen's "Three Plate Cooking Principles" and formed a secret alliance against straightness, which was just opportunistic. You can't tell that he looks honest and honest, but in fact he can only be described as a treacherous person. So in the official history, did he join the revolution because of some other secret? This has never happened, so I don’t dare to speculate.
Alas, forget his nickname "General" in history!
Zhang Hanqing was so angry that his teeth itched.
"You contact Baohang and ask him to go to Feng's army chaplain in person, tell him his interests and ask him to take action immediately. I will give him a thorough explanation. I will allocate 500,000 yuan and Shandong will be his after the war. Otherwise, he Just like Wu Peifu, he is the enemy of our Fengjun and the People's Army!" Zhang Hanqing decided to pull out all the stops and force him to express his stance.
Even if he is his enemy, it is much better than being so ambiguous!
Baohang is Yan Baohang, and he and Feng Yuxiang are both Christians and have a good relationship. He went to deliver the message, and Feng Yuxiang could probably weigh it.
Tianjin and Tangshan have automobile factories and quite a lot of industrial enterprises that are important to Fengjun, while Qinhuangdao has the core of its future military modernization: tank factories, aircraft and ship training schools. This cannot be thrown away or beaten to pieces. Spending 500,000 for this is nothing.
Of course, as for the ownership of Shandong after the war, if Feng Yuxiang dared to ask for it, he would dare to arrange for Zhang Zongchang to beat him to the ground!
After receiving Zhang Hanqing’s “ultimatum” request, Feng Yuxiang became a little timid. It's okay to speculate once, but if you want him to clarify the boundaries, he really doesn't dare to be tied to a chariot with Zhili. Because he knew very well that even if Fengjun in Guan Nei was unfortunately defeated, Zhang Zuolin would still have enough strength to make a comeback, and the People's Army could also prevent Fengjun from being defeated too ugly in the south.
The power of the Feng clique allows it to fail, but the Zhili clique cannot!
At this point in the war, we should also show our cooperation with the Kuomintang and Sun Yat-sen. Otherwise, when the war is over, it will probably be the time when the Northeastern young marshal turns his back, right? Moreover, people came to tell me that 500,000 yuan would be paid immediately; the Shandong Supervisor had already placed the order.
Shandong is indeed terra nullius now, and the original acting governor Zhang Zongchang is fighting in Jintang. If the Zhili clique is defeated, Sun Yat-sen takes control of Beijing, and he echoes in Shandong, he will become a new force in the political arena! He, Zhang Zhijiang and others thought: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we don't take advantage of it, it will be too late to regret once Shandong's political power is taken away."
“We will get whatever we ask from Shenyang, and we will get whatever we ask from Baoding.”
"We will cooperate with whoever has greater power!"
However, Wu Peifu was still a little wary of him and did not forget to arrange an army on the outskirts of the city to contain him. This made him hesitate again.
Zhang Hanqing decided to add fuel to his fire. He judged that although Feng Yuxiang had a speculative mentality, the premise was that both sides were evenly matched. He would never sit back and watch Fengjun fail. This would be detrimental to him. If Fengjun shows signs of retreating on his own initiative, it may be able to break Feng's desire to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. Otherwise, as Feng Zhinian thought, how could Fengjun gain greater initiative in the subsequent battle for interests with Feng's clique after suffering heavy losses with an exhausted army?
So Zhang Hanqing sent a secret message to Feng Yuxiang, saying that the situation of Fengjun was critical. If Feng did not make a final decision, Fengjun would have no choice but to withdraw from Tianjin tomorrow and would return to the outside of the pass together with the Jixian army.
Feng Yuxiang has only been in Beijing for a short period of time and has no idea of ??the extraordinary significance of Tianjin and the Rehe areas on the Beijing-Shenyang line to Zhang Hanqing. He was shocked when he answered the phone. This time it was a big deal! An urgent call came back saying that the deployment had been completed and a coup would be launched immediately.
At this timePeifu ordered Chief of Staff Zhang Fangyan to send a telegram to urge all troops to rush to the front line. Zhang sent a telegram to Feng Yuxiang. In order to strengthen the tone, he added a sentence after the telegram: "The situation turned critical in one fell swoop." This was originally an ordinary sentence to strengthen the tone, but In subtle ways, this sentence becomes problematic.
Although Feng Yuxiang had secretly communicated with Feng Zhang, he did intend to sit back and watch the success or failure. He would not dare to take action until there were signs of defeat for the Zhili Army. After Wu Peifu went to the front line, Feng was hesitant. He was afraid that Wu would win the battle on the front line. As soon as he launched his campaign, Wu would lead his troops back to Beijing to quell the chaos, and he would be finished. So he was waiting for action. The information he received from the headquarters of the Zhili Army indicated that victory was in sight; the information from the Japanese side said that the Zhili Army was in a disadvantage and the front line was in danger.
When he received a call from Wu’s chief of staff urging troops to move forward, especially Wu Peifu’s move to transfer garrison troops from the capital, he believed that the possibility of the Zhizhi Army’s failure had increased, so he made up his mind to “change sides.”
He wanted to set a fire in Wu Peifu's rear when he moved the rear army to serve as the front army and returned to Beijing. On the evening of November 4, Feng Yuxiang led his troops withdrew from the front line, returned to Beijing, and launched the Beijing coup. Lu Zhonglin, Jiang Yuhong and Sun Yueli of Feng's troops in Beijing joined forces and opened the city gate.
Lu Zhonglin led his troops into the city first and met with the troops of the 15th Mixed Brigade directly connected to Sun Yue in the city. Soldiers all wear armbands with blue cloth and white letters, which read "Swear to the death to save the country, do not disturb the people, and truly love the people." The coup troops divided their troops to guard important intersections, implemented martial law to cut off traffic, and quickly occupied various ministries and offices.
This "Beijing coup" was a lightning-fast success, and Cao Kun was caught and imprisoned without any prior knowledge. It's a coincidence that he was ordered to "catch and release Cao" when he first took office. The more he was afraid of being caught and released, he would still be caught and released. It seemed that God's will was hard to violate.
Wu Peifu was still unaware of the sudden change in the rear. He led his staff to the Western Qing Dynasty to supervise the war. The morale of the Zhili army on the front line improved. The Fengjun offensive was blocked, and the war situation turned around.
At noon, Wu Peifu's Japanese adviser Masujiro Okano hurried over. He brought two telegrams and said with a slight vibrato: "Commander, I have received the most urgent telegrams from Beijing and Tianjin. The contents are similar. Beijing There has been a big change in the city!"
Wu Peifu was shocked. He received the telegram, saying that "Feng Yuxiang, commander of the Third Army of the Rebel Army, withdrew from the battlefield at 6 pm on the 4th, invaded Beijing without a gunfight, and launched a coup. President Cao Kun has lost his freedom, and the situation in Beijing is unknown. Big changes are brewing.”
The people who participated in the coup listed in the telegram are all direct tycoons, including Feng Yuxiang, Wang Chengbin, Wang Huaiqing, Sun Yue, etc. After reading Okano's telegram, he immediately believed this possibility because he did not trust Feng Yuxiang.
That night, Wu Peifu led his senior staff back to the headquarters and immediately convened an emergency military meeting in the commander-in-chief's office, with all senior generals present. With a sad attitude, Wu announced the Beijing mutiny and the headquarters' retreat plan. In an instant, the situation on the Zhifeng battlefield changed greatly.
It was decided that General Peng Shouxin would be in charge of the frontline military affairs, stop attacking the Feng army and shift to full-line defense, and Wu Peifu would personally lead the main 3rd Division to return to Beijing at night to quell the chaos. Until this moment, he thought he had the ability to turn the tide, and was preparing to fight the Feng clan after the chaos was settled.
At midnight, Wu Wu Peifu himself took a special car from the headquarters and brought a group of guards with about 3,000 people back at full speed at night. With a heavy heart and tired body, he stayed up all night. The headquarters train left Langfang at 2 a.m., and at 4 a.m. the next day, the train arrived at Tongzhou Station less than 10 miles away. After encountering a small number of Zhizhi troops that had been defeated from Beijing, he realized that the situation was more critical than he imagined.
It turns out that on November 5, Feng Yuxiang held a meeting in Beiyuan to discuss how to deal with the current situation in the north. Present at the meeting were Sun Yue, Huang Yong, Wang Zhengting and others. At this meeting, Feng Yuxiang was promoted as the commander-in-chief of the National Army and commander of the First Army, and Sun Yue was appointed as deputy commander-in-chief and commander of the Second Army. Lu Zhonglin entered the city with meritorious service, was promoted to division commander, and served as Beijing garrison commander, stationed in Shuaifu Park, Dongdan.
In view of the fact that Sun Yixian still had no definite information and Wu Peifu led his army to attack Yangcun, Sun Yue proposed the establishment of a regent cabinet. In order to express sincerity in welcoming Sun Yat-sen to take office, most of the cabinet members appointed were old revolutionary party members from the south, such as Huang Yong, and Finance Minister Wang Zhengting (the chief of the Fengcun Pan Fu and others were not reinstated, and were replaced by a group of Kuomintang members), who followed Sun Yat-sen. Li Shucheng, Li Liejun, etc. of the National Army system in Beijing. The meeting decided to let Cao Kun order a truce, relieve Wu Peifu from holding various posts, and announce his voluntary abdication.
Using Cao Kun to coerce Wu Peifu was very effective. The frontline troops also knew that the city gate was on fire, and they had no intention of fighting. Wu Peifu had no choice but to declare a truce when the situation was over.
Prior to this, the Northwest People's Army had conquered the Zhengzhou defense line, advanced into Xinxiang, and since then penetrated directly into Baoding Prefecture, the home base of the Zhili Army.
I don’t know who got the news and revealed Zhang Hanqing’s expedient plan to make Feng Yuxiang the governor of Shandong. Zhang Zongchang was shocked.
After the war, the sphere of influence will inevitably need to be re-divided. He knows that he is not the core of the Feng faction, so he first grabs Shandong. I guess both Lao and Xiao Zhang will be embarrassed to ask for it, right? Therefore, despite having made great contributions to the fight against the Zhili Clan, Zhang Zongchang could not wait to enjoy the fruits of victory. On the pretext of pursuing the remnants of the Zhili Clan, he quickly went south again without waiting for orders and continued to return to Shandong to be his Caotou King. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)As for the core position of the non-Feng clique, we must first seize Shandong in our hands.

Chapter 627 After the War (Part 1)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
But Wen Shuren, commander of the Bohai Fleet of the Zhili Army, was not aware of the changes on land and was still wandering at sea.
Because the Fengtian faction also has a navy, the Northeast River Defense Fleet led by Song Changzhi is patrolling Yingkou and Huludao, and there are huge cannons on the shore. The Zhizhi Army fleet full of troops does not dare to attack the Fengjun army rashly, because the Jiangfang Defense Fleet has more light and fast ships. Once the destroyer breaks through the defense line, the entire maritime brigade will be in danger.
"The director of the Northeast Coast Guard Shen Honglie ordered a large number of mines to be laid on several key sea areas. Wen Shuren hesitated and decided to give up the attack.
On the way back near Tianjin, Wen Shuren received multiple telegrams with confusing contents one after another. Wen Shuren was at a loss as to what to do and had no choice but to return directly to Qingdao, the fleet's home base, to wait for the news. After it was confirmed that Wu Peifu would go out, he had no choice but to surrender to Zhang Zongchang who had reoccupied Shandong!
The reason for this decision is that looking at the entire coast of China, there is no place to stay!
North of Tianjin is the territory of Fengjun, Jiangsu is at war, Shanghai is traditionally under the control of the Anhui clique, Fujian lacks military ports, and Guangdong is the territory of the People's Army. Only Shandong has neither the surname Zhi nor the surname Wan, and one of the main ports of the Bohai Fleet is Qingdao.
Zhang Zongchang, who was so lucky, got the most powerful fleet in China at that time without spending a penny! You must know that the Bohai Fleet at this time was regarded as the central navy of the Republic of China. After withdrawing from Guangdong last year, it had many large ships such as the cruiser "Haiqi", "Haichen", "Zhaohe" and the destroyer "Tong'an". The most important thing The best thing is that it has a complete range of categories.
But Zhang Hanqing had no time to stare at the fleet. Although it was absurd, because there were so many things on the battlefield, he could only approach them one by one. As soon as Wu Peifu announced a ceasefire, Zhang Hanqing quickly ordered the Fengjun and People's Army in Jixian, Tianjin, Zhangyuan, Zhengzhou and other fronts to accept the surrender of their weapons by the Zhili Army on the spot.
Wu Peifu of the Luoyang clique, the most powerful militarily Zhili clique, was defeated, Cao Kun of the Baoding clique, the boss, was imprisoned, and Wang Chengbin of the Tianjin clique rebelled. The Zhili clique, which had dominated the Republic of China for many years, quickly withdrew from the stage of history. Different from the official history, Wu Peifu did not go to Hunan first but went directly to Yang Sen in Sichuan after he left the field, because Hunan was already the territory of the People's Army at this time.
In this battle, Wu Peifu lost not in the military, but in the political battle. He is still one of the most talented military commanders among the Beiyang warlords. Many people have advised the young marshal to either keep him or kill him. In short, they should not give him a chance to make a comeback.
But Zhang Hanqing doesn’t care. After a series of major strategic battles, he has fully matured into a qualified politician and military strategist. When the powerful Zhili was there, Wu Peifu lost. Now there is no soil in the world for Wu to have a chance to prosper again. As for the machinations, screw them.
The young marshal just said softly: "I don't care about other people's intentions, I only care about their strength." If Wu Peifu wants to leave, then go ahead. He even told the People's Army: "It's going to rain, mother. Let him get married!"
He also used a very humorous poem to say goodbye to Wu Peifu:
"A heart of ice is in a jade pot,
I see off my guests in the Ming Dynasty.
Relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other,
The cold rain came into Wu at night. "
Not a word of the quoted poem has been changed, only the order has been reversed, so that Wu Peifu's loss can be appropriately expressed.
When Wu Peifu fled south to Jiangsu on the Jinpu Line, Zhang Zongchang, who was busy taking over the direct navy, actually let the big fish go. When Sun Yue's National Army pursued them to Shandong, Zhang Zongchang, who had recovered his nerve, said nothing and would not let the National Army enter Shandong.
This is a pity for the National Army, which is bent on making great achievements again.
The biggest winner in this battle is definitely the Feng system. About 50,000 people from its four divisions in Henan surrendered to the People's Army; in the north, Fengjun received a total of about 120,000 remnants from nine divisions.
As for Feng Yuxiang and Sun Yue, because they were far away from the battlefield, they only controlled some miscellaneous soldiers in Beijing, each with about 10,000 people. A total of nearly 30,000 Zhili troops were wiped out in this battle, and some officers and soldiers were missing or fled the battlefield.
In the central government, there is no force that can stop the Feng faction from dominating the political situation, not even Sun Yat-sen. Zhang Zuolin rushed to Qinhuangdao from Shenyang in great excitement, preparing to reorganize the government and went into battle naked.
By the end of 1923, the total mileage of railways under the Fengcian clique was approximately 9,000 kilometers. Except for those outside the customs where it had absolute control, all important railways at the time were controlled within the customs, such as the Beijing-Hankou Railway, Jinpu Railway, Jiaoji Railway, etc., and connected The two major north-south and east-west trunk lines, the Guangdong-Han and Longhai lines, are under construction respectively.
Financially speaking, tax revenue has reached 1.41 billion yuan, which is 86% of Japan's during the same period. Administratively?It has completely occupied 17 provinces including Feng, Ji, Hei, Xing, Mongolia, Re, Sui, Cha, Gan, Shaan, Ning, Qing, Hubei, Anhui, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Guangdong, and it also nominally controls Xinjiang. , actually occupies the entire territory of Tianjin and Anhui, and accounts for more than half of the country's population.
Militarily, after defeating more than 200,000 elite troops of the Zhili Clan, the number of soldiers and horses of various factions entrenched in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai is now less than 100,000. There are tens of thousands of people in Shanxi and tens of thousands in Beijing. Even if other departments unite, they will only be less than half of the Fengjun and People's Army. The powerful Zhili clique can only act in a different way and dare not face it directly, let alone a loose alliance?
Even Sun Liechen and others believe that they can now directly control the political power through cliques without worrying about the opinions of all parties. In politics, strength still has to speak for itself.
At this moment, the Feng Clique was also intoxicated by this huge victory. Zhang Zuolin basically believed that the Feng Clique had secured the world. Just imagine, the Anhui and Zhili cliques among the three once-famous Beiyang cliques have successively surrendered to the Feng clique. Which force in the world can compete with itself again? Regarding Feng Yuxiang's move to close the city of Beijing and refuse Fengjun's entry, he almost issued an order asking Fengjun to attack forward.
Feng Yuxiang and Sun Yue only have two armies in Beijing. They consider themselves to be the biggest contributors to this anti-straight movement, and they all firmly regard Sun Yixian as their guide. As soon as the Zhili Clique was defeated, Feng Yuxiang quickly claimed to change his headquarters to the National Army of the Republic of China and called on all walks of life to ask Sun Yat-sen to take charge.
He had a good idea: take advantage of the new defeat of the Zhili Army to let Sun Yat-sen enter Beijing to take charge of the overall situation. At this time, the competition is all about quick legs and feet. Although the Feng faction has the upper hand, they have to rely on the National Army in Beijing. Coupled with Sun Yat-sen's prestige, the formation of the cabinet in advance became a fait accompli, and the understanding and alliance would not resort to violence again. This would inevitably cause a backlash from all parties and was inconsistent with the mainstream desire for peace by all parties in the country.
The situation now formed is that Feng Yuxiang's troops control the city of Beijing, while Feng Jun controls the overall situation on the periphery. With Fengjun's current strength, it is easy to enter the city of Beijing and fight against the inferior "rebellion army" to conquer the world, but it seems that he has no name.
Feng Yuxiang just wanted to use this disgusting thing to get into the Fengxian clan, but he didn't know that he almost caused a new war. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 628 After the War (Part 2)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
All parties in the government and the opposition are waiting to see Fengjun's next move. If there is a little carelessness at this time, not only the Zhili clique, which has just been subdued, will immediately resurgence, but also the Anhui clique and the Kuomintang clique, which are at a disadvantage, may directly defeat Sun Yixian. The flag was raised to attack myself again.
Even within the Fengtian clique, there is a desire to divide political forces by asking Sun Yat-sen to be president and Zhang Zuolin to be prime minister. For example, Guo Songling, Hu Jingyi and other old generals who responded to Sun Yat-sen's call in the early days of the Revolution of 1911, and Yu Youren and other large numbers of people who have important influence in various places. The so-called celebrities, in addition to the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium and other factions that Sun Yat-sen relies on for financial support, will have an important influence in China's future.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Fengxian is a glorious place, but the dangers are unknown. One careless move and you lose everything. Although most of these people are not armed with guns, they are even more powerful with pens.
They either serve in the government or are influential in the local area. The reason why they can be preserved is that when Zhang Hanqing led the People's Army to conquer the east and west, due to the lack of cadres of the People's Party and the united front, many governors of the provinces under his control were None of them are members of the Kuomintang, such as Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia, Mongolia, Xinjiang, Hubei, Anhui, Hunan, Jiangxi and Guangdong.
“This is a united front, but the heart is not completely united.
At the critical moment, Zhang Hanqing believed: China is currently in chaos. If the war continues, it is inevitable that the Japanese will take advantage of the chaos and take action. The top priority is to quickly stabilize the situation - the Fengcian faction has already gained advantages in most areas of the country, and winning the next big victory or even winning the central government is no longer a problem. It is necessary to calm down at this moment of military victory and gain political and moral advantages.
Since the country’s political system is difficult to determine and the situation is not the best for the Feng faction, taking office to form a government at this time will inevitably lead to objections from all parties. It is better to find a third party to buffer it. He is inclined to put Duan Qirui on the front desk again.
Zhang Zuolin finally listened to the suggestions of Zhang Hanqing, Sun Liechen, and Guo Songling, and called on all parties to form a joint government to go to Qinhuangdao to discuss with Sun Yixian, who had been transferred here earlier.
In fact, all parties are paying attention to the movements of the leaders of the Feng clique. In terms of the strength of the current place, any discussion that ignores the Feng clique is insignificant. No matter what cabinet is formed, the Feng clique is definitely the backbone of the cabinet and the largest powerful faction. All parties are concerned about is whether they can get a share of the pie, how many seats they can occupy in the new cabinet, and what status they have!
On November 7, Chinese political dignitaries gathered in Qinhuangdao to discuss the formation of a unified Republic of China. The atmosphere was so warm that it seemed like a new era of Chinese cooking was about to begin. However, everyone involved knows that it is not that all parties have different opinions. On the contrary, there are huge differences within both the People's Party and the Kuomintang when it comes to deciding issues related to the life and death of the parties.
This is a grand event that will have an important impact on China's future and history. Although there are quite a lot of dissonances, Sun Yat-sen, who has a unique vision, and a young commander who is widely respected, the People's Party and the Kuomintang, the two major parties of the Republic of China, are here. It won't get out of control. As for all parties having some opinions, this is normal and can be properly taken care of.
Feng Yuxiang attended with Zhang Zhijiang as his representative and asked all parties to first appoint Sun Yat-sen as acting president, then rebuild the Congress in the spirit of the Republic of China's laws, and then elect a cabinet. Prior to this, Beijing was temporarily under militarized management by him, Feng Jun was still stationed in Beiyuan, and the government was maintained by the "Regency Cabinet" launched by a few of them.
Zhang Hanqing directly expressed his opposition: In this Zhili-Fengtian war, if Feng Yuxiang could have taken action earlier, there would be no need to win at the cost of tens of thousands of Fengjun casualties. Moreover, with the remaining power of defeating the Zhili clique, would Fengjun still be considered a victory if he did not enter Beijing?
So he told Zhang Zhijiang: "Please tell General Feng Yuxiang that his merits and demerits in this war need to be discussed in detail. Before that, Beijing is still the common capital of all parties in the Republic of China, and he will never be the one to dictate. Reason! After this meeting, Fengjun will enter Beijing to assist in defense. If he dares to block the car with his arms again, Zhili will set an example!"
Feng Yuxiang only has an army of tens of thousands, and he still wants to follow the dragon. What a wishful thinking! Due to Cao Kun's election bribery, the Congress has become a laughing stock. What is the concept of rebuilding | Congress? That is by no means an overnight achievement. If Sun Yat-sen serves as acting president for half a year and a year, then it has become a morally accomplished fact. What is the matter with the People's Party!
The Kuomintang also has proposals.
In this anti-straight war, the People's Party has gained huge political and military benefits, especially military, and can completely wipe out all the opposition by force. The veterans within the Kuomintang are well aware of this.
When the force of force was no longer sufficient to deal with the current predicament, the backbone of the Kuomintang faction headed by Hu Hanmin put forward a proposal, with Sun Yat-sen as president and Zhang Zuolin as president.Prime Minister, based on the "three principles" shared by both parties, establish a revolutionary government that unifies political power, military power, financial power, and diplomatic power.
The unified military power here is the nationalization of the military following the Western system. Of course, the president is the commander-in-chief of the military.
It’s back again, the Kuomintang wants to do something empty-handed!
Of course the People’s Party and the Lao-Feng clique cannot agree. These people are all familiar with the truth of the Marshal's famous saying, "Political power comes from the barrel of a gun." This is how they have relied on the barrel of a gun step by step to achieve the current situation. The Kuomintang wants to use lip service to "release military power over a glass of wine," but it is not easy!
Not only that, some senior officials in the Fengtian faction even drafted a proposal to appoint Marshal Zhang as president, Marshal Wu as vice president, Marshal Wu as legislative president, and Wang Yongjiang as prime minister. They also drafted a list of cabinet members. Of course, , the officials on the list are without exception people from the People’s Party and Fengcheng factions.
It was the turn of the Kuomintang and other factions to object: The military and political power has been given to the Feng clique. Are we here to study with the prince this time?
There are too many differences between the parties, and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie at this time. Such endless negotiations will not only do nothing to help the situation, but will also make everyone more and more angry. Maybe, without outsiders instigating it, people within ourselves will start fighting first.
The business of taking over direct land sites is busy, and Zhang Hanqing does not want to waste more time. He proposed that rather than allowing the political situation to deteriorate like this, it would be better to put aside the dispute and recommend a third party to take charge.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows what he means. In the anti-Zhili tripartite alliance, Fengjun sent troops and the Kuomintang waved their flags. Except for Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang, who had a small fight with Qi Xieyuan, the governor of Jiangsu of the Zhili clique, Duan Qirui was left alone to support the Anhui clique. shelf. Since the People's Party and the Kuomintang have too much dispute, it is better to promote him to power.
Sun Yixian also believes that when the legal system is broken, the birth of the president and cabinet is a very complicated process, and it is difficult to reach a consensus in a short while. Letting Duan Qirui come out is a good choice: he has no soldiers and generals. Easy to control. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 629 Where is China going?
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
While the princes of all parties were still arguing over how to divide manpower, territory, and finances, two "revolutionary" fathers with a common sense of mission were discussing China's future policy direction by the Beidaihe River.
Walking along the beach, the sea breeze blows on your face. Zhang Hanqing talked freely about his improved "Three Plate Cooking Theory" theory to Sun Yixian:
"China's progress cannot be stopped no matter what, and no one can stop it. China will definitely become stronger again. Xueliang has no doubt about this. But the current situation is not optimistic: warlords from all sides are fighting endlessly, consuming the country's remaining resources. A little bit of vitality. As far as China is concerned, an independent and sound industrial system has not yet been established, and the country is in urgent need of recuperation.
Although we now have the name of the Republic of China, we do not yet have the reality of the Republic of China. We must adhere to the name and responsibilities to fully realize the people's power, the eight-hour work system and the thorough program of the agrarian revolution. This is today's work.
China's economy must follow the path of "controlling capital" and "equalizing land rights." It must not be "privately owned by a few people," and it must not allow a few capitalists and a few landlords to "control the people's livelihood." It must not establish a European and American-style economy. A capitalist society can never remain the old semi-feudal society. Anyone who dares to deviate from this direction will definitely fail to achieve his goal and will be ruined.
"Big banks, big industry, and big commerce are owned by the state of this republic. All enterprises owned by nationals and foreigners that are monopolistic in nature or are too large to be managed by private individuals, such as banks, railways, and shipping lines, are operated and managed by the state so that the private capital system cannot control the national economy. This is the key to controlling capital.
Eighty percent of China’s population are farmers. This is common knowledge among primary school students. Therefore, the peasant issue has become the basic issue of the Chinese revolution, and the power of the peasants is the main force of the Chinese revolution. Besides farmers, the second segment of the Chinese population is workers. China has millions of industrial workers and tens of millions of handicraft workers and agricultural workers.
China cannot live without all kinds of industrial workers, because they are the producers of the industrial economy. Without the modern industrial working class, the revolution cannot win, because they are the leaders of the Chinese revolution and they are the most revolutionary. Under such circumstances, the revolutionary, new, or true three-man-cooking righteousness must be the three-man-cooked righteousness of the agricultural and industrial policy.
"If there is any kind of Sanpanzhuyi, it has no agricultural and industrial policies, it does not sincerely support agricultural and industrial workers, and it does not practice "awakening the people", then it will definitely perish.
The government will take some necessary measures to confiscate land from landlords and distribute it to landless and landless peasants, implement Dr. Sun Yat-sen's slogan of "Land to the tiller", eliminate feudal relations in the countryside, and turn land into peasants' land. of private property. The rich peasant economy in rural areas is also allowed to exist. This is the policy of ‘equal land rights’. The correct slogan of this policy is 'land to the tiller'.
The People’s Army or Fengjun has made great progress in industry, agriculture, transportation, education and trade, which is inseparable from the ‘land reform’ in agriculture and the ‘state ownership’ system in industry.
Relying on the backing of the state, we have supported various industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood, vested wealth and control rights with the state, strengthened political stability and economic prosperity, and laid a solid foundation for transportation breakthroughs, compulsory education, and trade independence. As long as this stable situation is maintained for ten years, China will definitely be able to once again stand among the world's powerful countries. "
Sun Yixian greatly appreciated Zhang Hanqing's army-building principles of party-controlled military and the achievements of the People's Army, saying that this was what he had dreamed of for many years. He also understood Zhang Hanqing's policy that the Kuomintang should also "support farmers and workers" .
It’s just that he doubts that when China truly achieves national reunification and territorial integrity and even becomes stronger, whether the ruling People’s Party can truly give up its leadership position and move from “military government” and “government training” to “constitutional government” in exchange for complete meaning. Cooking dishes on the table?
Zhang Hanqing answered his question very well. He said: "The so-called dish cooking means that people are the masters of their own country. Pan cooking in Europe and the United States is bottom-up and has gone through a long process. China is a country with more than 2,000 people. A country with a long history of feudalism does not have the foundation for complete democracy. It is not a good thing for China to directly impose bourgeois oppression on China's national system.
Today's China should imitate Soviet Russia and concentrate all its efforts on driving away foreign aggression as a top priority. However, China's current national conditions determine that the current situation requires a centralized People's Party | leadership, rather than a Cao Kun-style election.
China has a large population and a large land area, which cannot tolerate chaos. The numerous parties and warlords are manifestations of chaos, but the root cause is that the central government does not have a strong government. Chinese styleDishui does not yet have a correct model, and it still needs long-term exploration in the future. People in the future will definitely be smarter than people today, and they will figure it out. "
"The foundation of the People's Party is to achieve centralization within the party. This approach seems to be successful at present. When China is unified, this approach can be transferred to the government. Although Xueliang is not talented, he knows The people can carry the boat, and they can also capsize it."
Sun Yixian nodded and said: "The trend of the People's Party to unify the world is inevitable, but due to centralization of power, will corruption begin within the party after a period of time, threatening the political power? Because of centralization, it will be impossible to form an effective Supervision system?”
Zhang Hanqing is confident that this problem has been solved. He said: "After the country is reunified, the People's Party still needs to lead all the people to carry out political and economic development. However, as an important supervision system, I am prepared to first implement complete independence of the judiciary. In this way, even if As the top leaders of the party and the country, they will face the same judicial constraints as the West.
In addition, the state has lifted its control over the news system, allowing the voice of the people to truly become a mirror of the ruling party. When the opportunity matures, Congress still needs to be established and play its role - separation of powers is still China's direction towards political maturity.
It’s just that before or after this, the People’s Party must play its unique role and play a transitional role in the complete lack of legislative and executive power. This period may take decades, or it may take hundreds of years, but I believe that this day will always come. In fact, the People's Party has been piloting it in the Northeast for more than a year.
The rise and fall of the Yuan family, the Anhui clique, and the Zhili clique were all sudden and sudden, and they were all lessons learned from the People's Party. Only when the people truly exercise their right to be the masters of their own country can this country stay young and prosperous forever. "
Sun Yixian was deeply touched by his words and felt the sense of mission hidden in his heart. He sincerely said to Zhang Hanqing: "The Kuomintang has withered talents and has no experience to draw from in building the country. The People's Party has actually completed the reorganization of the country. If this fact is not faced squarely, it will be harmful and harmful to the country and the nation. Useless!
“On the issue of forming the cabinet this time, some people proposed that I should be the president, which I would never agree to. I, Sun Wen, have no merit of any magnitude and have no personal opinions on running the country. How can I sit in a high position and live in a humble position?
Not only that, I will also use my remaining influence to make the Kuomintang return from its purpose of seizing power in China to assisting the Kuomintang in achieving national reunification, prosperity, and peace. I think this is the real world. For the public'. My only ambition is to serve as the Minister of Railway Construction after the country is at peace, and build 100,000 kilometers of railways for China during my term! "
Zhang Hanqing's heart skipped a beat, and his heart felt hot. The situation in his previous life when it was hard to get a ticket for the Spring Festival travels came to mind again. If it goes as Sun Yat-sen wishes and solves the problem of weak transportation that restricts the development of China's industry and agriculture, the impact on China's future will be self-evident.
The United States built a nationwide highway network in the 1940s, which supported its strength for more than half a century and was known as the "country on wheels." China has a large population and a vast territory. Naturally, it cannot compete with the United States in cars. This will make the world enter a resource shortage faster. Think about China’s huge demand for oil and other energy and long-term commitments in the 21st century. "Malacca Dilemma".
Moreover, building railways is the most cost-effective compared to building highways and aviation. It is also of strategic significance from a long-term perspective. It is reasonable from the perspective of national economy and people's livelihood, national defense needs, national development and energy security, Zhang Hanqing I very much hope that China in the future will be a "country on iron wheels."
He also said sincerely: "Sir, Xueliang is willing to support you as much as possible to build a railway network that runs from east to west, north and south, so that China will become stronger from now on." As long as transportation is convenient and trade is prosperous, domestic demand will be mobilized and the industry will , Agricultural products can fully realize the flow under market economy conditions, and China's prosperity is just around the corner.
He seemed to see the world-renowned achievements of "Made in China" in the 21st century reflected in front of his eyes in advance. A powerful China was about to be established in advance. The prospect of expelling the imperialist forces in China and establishing a fully sovereign China was in front of him. China The nation will not suffer another tragic story of disaster!
At this time, the sea seemed to feel his excited heart, roaring and throwing up thousands of waves on the shore, responding to his turbulence with huge momentum.
The wind has picked up and the rain has started to wash away the dirt on the earth, expressing Zhang Hanqing’s mood at the moment. The reunification of China is just around the corner. From chaos to great rule, I have now saved the Chinese nation from at least fifty years of decline at a major historical juncture, which is comparable to any emperor or general in history!
I remember that when Cao Cao, another great man I admired the most, stood here "facing the Jieshi in the east to view the sea" when he returned victoriously from the northern expedition to Wuheng. He faced the boundless Bohai Sea, regardless of the heavy rain falling directly above his head, and a wonderful line came out spontaneously, which became his last song. This is the famous "Lang Tao Sha" in the history of modern literature. Beidaihe》:
The heavy rain falls on the swallows,
The white waves surge into the sky.
Fishing boats outside Qinhuangdao,
Not a single ocean is visible,
Who do you know?
The past is thousands of years old,
Wei Wu waved his whip,
There is a posthumous chapter on Jieshi in the east.

Chapter 630 National Unification Committee
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Since Zhang Zuolin, the biggest power tycoon, and Sun Yixian, the most popular spiritual leader of the Kuomintang in China, finally "sympathized with each other" on issues related to China's leadership, they suggested and passed the proposal that "during the administrative vacancy of the country, Duan Qirui would be in charge temporarily. The "meeting" ended successfully on the surface with the resolution "as a transition before each faction formally accepts a new president or decides on a political system."
After the bargaining between the parties, a new "National Unification Committee" was created to negotiate unification matters.
This committee is different from the organization of the same name originally concocted by Zhang Hanqing. It has a total of 13 members, including 6 from the Feng clique: Zhang Zuolin, Sun Liechen, Wu Junsheng, Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Hanqing, and Wang Yongjiang; and 3 from the Anhui clique: Xu Shichang, Duan Qirui, and Jin Yunpeng. ; Three members of the Kuomintang faction and close branches: Sun Yixian, Feng Yuxiang, Sun Yue; and Shanxi Governor Yan Xishan, who has important influence in the north.
"The National Unification Council" is not an administrative agency, but a platform for all parties to negotiate important national affairs. In name, the supreme head of state of the Republic of China is still Duan Qirui, but a new official title of "in power" was created for him.
But Duan is just a symbol of national unity. He can neither "govern" nor "ask about politics" in normal times. He can only be regarded as an "audience". The real real power lies in the several committees equivalent to the cabinet established under the "National Unification Council". In fact, these committees do control the administrative power of the country.
The list of cabinet members for this term is as follows: Chairman of the Executive Committee Wang Yongjiang, Chairman of the Finance and Economics Committee Pan Fu, Chairman of the Agriculture Committee Mo Dehui, Chairman of the Industry and Commerce Committee Liu Shangqing, Chairman of the Education Committee Ma Yinchu (non-partisan), Chairman of the Transportation Committee Sun Yixian (Kuomintang), National Defense Committee Chairman Sun Liechen, Chairman of the Planning Committee Zhang Hanqing, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee Lin Xiang (Kuomintang, descendant of Lin Zexu), Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee Gu Weijun (ostensibly non-party, has been absorbed as a member of the People's Party).
“It is not surprising at all that in the newly formed cabinet, the Feng faction obtained all seven seats except for the chairman of the transportation, education, and judicial committees, cutting a big piece of the cake. Of course, each committee includes more or less people from all parties. The original decision to adopt the committee system was to open up more channels of expression.
These official positions are not important. Everyone is more concerned about the disposal of the army, because the most important part of national unity is the "nationalization of the army."
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There is no definite statement on the concentration of the army yet. Everyone just sits together, talks, grumbles, and then goes back to prepare their armaments and prepare to strengthen. Therefore, basically the leaders of the powerful factions who have the army have to enter, except Sun Yat-sen.
?? Sun Liechen also plays the chief role in any arrangement. The committee members come from four other powerful factions:
Yan Xishan (Commander-in-Chief of the Shanxi Revolutionary Army, responsible for 5 divisions and 2 mixed brigades, totaling 110,000 people), stationed in Shanxi;
Feng Yuxiang (Commander of the 1st Army of the National Revolutionary Army, which has just been expanded to 3 divisions and 1 mixed brigade, more than 60,000 people) is stationed in Langfang, Hebei Province;
Sun Yue (Commander of the Second Army of the National Revolutionary Army, expanded from one brigade to two divisions, more than 30,000 people), stationed in Tongzhou, Beijing;
Only Sun Yat-sen, although he was the prime minister of the Kuomintang, the largest "political party" in China at the time, had no troops and no power, he deservedly became a member of the National Defense Committee. However, he has many affairs, and his representative in the National Defense Committee is his chief of staff in Guangdong, Li Liejun.
The Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan cliques all sent people to express their recognition of the authority of the central government. For a while, it seemed that the great cause of China's unification had been completed.
The purpose of the existence of the National Defense Commission is only to coordinate the proportion of the various armies in the national military system and how to distribute benefits. The National Defense Committee cannot yet reach out to the armies of all parties.
Therefore, its existence is not of great significance. It is basically similar to the military status of the previous Army Chief in the Republic of China. This is why Zhang Hanqing did not serve on this committee and continued to let Sun Liechen, who was "accustomed" to a leisure life, serve.
However, when Zhang Hanqing takes action, he will definitely launch force to eliminate all warlords who dare to reject "unification". This is probably the wish of all powerful factions: Yuan Shikai did it, and the Anhui clique did it when they were strong.
For those with weaker strength, they are unwilling to hand over their military power, so there are the origins of "provincial autonomy" and "federal autonomy". When the Feng faction was still very weak, it also opposed "unification by force", but that was because it was still in its infancy. Once it thinks its strength is about the same, it will, like other warlords, establish a so-called "legitimate government" of "national unity".
This time, the so-called "National Conference" was held to open up wasteland, launching the National Assembly to discuss the restoration ofThis is actually the purpose of establishing legal unification, abolishing local autonomous governments, and achieving national unification.
From the perspective of China’s most direct and realistic predicament at that time, the political system of federalism, federal provincial autonomy, and one country with multiple systems could, at least to a certain extent, curb the arbitrary behavior of various political careerists. In a negative sense, this was also a "relatively peaceful method" for China, which was actually in a state of division at that time, to re-enter the road of reunification.
This form of composite state system may be in line with China’s national conditions, and China’s actual situation may indeed be as analyzed by many scholars. But on the other hand, it actually falls into a theoretical misunderstanding.
Therefore, the opponents almost always base their arguments on China’s national conditions.
One of the biggest peculiarities of China’s national conditions is that in theory, no one is firmly opposed to autonomy and joint governance, but deep down in their hearts, they think about “governing themselves” rather than “governing others”. Those small warlords who are unable to expand their territory are more willing to cling to the sign of "autonomy." In other words, "autonomy" is actually likely to be interpreted as "government rule" or "military rule" rather than "people rule".
What’s more, at that time, the Chinese people did not have the corresponding self-governance capabilities and needed long-term training. This inevitably leads to a problem. Once there is a conflict of interest, powerful people or groups will not easily give up their vested interests, let alone help the people participate in politics and restrain themselves.
Under Sun Yat-sen's persistent refusal, Zhang Zuolin was undoubtedly elected as the chairman of the "National Unification Committee" of the Republic of China. The "Planning Committee" headed by Zhang Hanqing did a lot of work to design the country's state system and political system, and basically reached an agreement with all parties to convene the election of the Legislative Yuan, that is, the Congress, half a year later. As for the political form, there is no specific conclusion yet.
During this period, Duan Qirui continued to be in power as a temporary power, exercising power on behalf of the country, but the actual administrative, military, diplomatic, personnel and economic powers were concentrated in the hands of the People's Party faction.
During this period, the People’s Party’s local organizations have taken root in various places and become a formal force that gradually plays a role in non-traditional local administration, causing dissatisfaction and vigilance from powerful factions in other places.

Chapter 631 Federal Provincial Autonomy and Unification
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
However, as the only KMT Prime Minister with the potential to challenge the KMT’s position, Sun Yat-sen originally believed that a weak China should adopt a three-step process of military government, political training and constitutional government, and suppressed the opposition forces and opposition voices within the KMT. As he said in his congratulatory message at the inauguration ceremony of Zhang Zuolin's "National Unification Committee":
“The path China is taking should be one of unity, strength, and peace, but peace is not achieved overnight. The presidential election bribery that occurred some time ago is a good footnote.
In the first ten years when warlords arose, I always hoped to establish a military-controlled government and a strong leader. Only in this way can we ensure the stability of China's political situation and the unity of the country. This is called the period of military rule. During the military regime, priority was given to eliminating warlords and bandits, and military control should be implemented. Now this step has been basically completed.
During the political training period, priority should be given to infrastructure construction and preliminary civil rights training, and one-party governance should be implemented. Only a strong political power can ensure that this premise is implemented, and the People's Party undoubtedly represents the basis of this political power.
The conditions for the implementation of constitutional government are that more than half of the counties and cities in the country have the conditions to elect and recall local heads, and if citizens have the conditions to launch a creative review, they can elect and convene the National Assembly to formulate a constitution, return power to the people, and implement a modern political system of multi-party competition. "
Zhang Hanqing published an article in the "People's Party Daily" to explain whether the People's Party will take the initiative to hand over power and implement multi-party competition during the constitutional stage: "First of all, we must state that the People's Party is the leader of the country, but the power of the country lies with the people. When a When a political party cannot adapt to the needs of the people, it will naturally be eliminated, and the People's Party will be no exception.
In order to prevent the demise of the people and the collapse of the government, we will introduce the electoral system within the party and the country at the appropriate time. That is, the party's committees at all levels are elected by the party's grassroots committees and implement the party's centralization system to limit individual power and gather collective wisdom. When conditions are appropriate, we will introduce a direct election system for the head of state and chief executive officers.
After the country is completely reunified, a new National Congress system will be established, and the people will exercise their rights to manage the country and supervise government agencies in accordance with the law.
We will establish an administrative oversight committee under the legislative branch to impeach administrative deviations at all levels. In addition, an evaluation agency for government civil servants, namely the Examination Committee, will be established. Both agencies are affiliated with Congress and are not beholden to any party.
In addition to the executive and legislative branches, an independent judicial system will be established that is not controlled by any political party. This is the principle of the separation of legislative, judicial, and administrative powers and the five-house system including the Supervisory Yuan and the Examination Yuan that Mr. Sun preached. Of course, the reality will be somewhat different. "
The highest power of the country is now concentrated in the "National Unification Council", and its first important mission at the beginning of its establishment is to establish the state and political system. We must know that after a long war, the system of the Republic of China has been riddled with holes. What kind of country the People's Party will build is a big issue that all factions need to take seriously.
Although the voices of war are endless, we have just experienced a vote-buying and a war. What people urgently need is peace, and what each faction needs is a redistribution of power that is beneficial to them. Zhang Hanqing once again used the means of distant diplomacy and close attack to enable the Feng faction to completely control the government not only militarily, but also politically and economically.
With regard to the handing over of political power to the "National Unification Council", the princes with vested interests have no objections. They prefer to establish a decentralized rather than centralized country. This tradition began with the rise of the Hunan Army Group that annihilated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. As governors gradually took over military, financial, and employment rights, the local governments became stronger and the central government declined.
The Qing government had already foreseen the crisis of centralization. What particularly shocked the Qing government was the "Southeast Mutual Protection" in 1900. At that time, because of the outbreak of the Boxer Rebellion to "support the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreign countries", the Qing government "declared war" on the foreign powers. However, the governors of the southeastern provinces ignored the orders of the Qing government. Instead, they agreed with the great powers to temporarily suspend their troops and protect the southeast.
This incident has given the Chinese an important revelation. In 1901, Liang Qichao introduced Swiss federalism to the Chinese, saying that China had a tradition of local autonomy since ancient times. If federalism could be adopted, many of China's problems would be easily resolved.
Therefore, the Qing government is also thinking about how to establish a new model of centralization and decentralization. In 1906, the Qing government announced that it was preparing to establish a constitution. One of the important contents was to refer to the constitutional experience of Western and Eastern countries and use the reform of the official system as a breakthrough to rebuild the decentralization model between the central and local governments.
However, the Qing government was not a truly modern government after all. The hundreds of years of "family and world" thinking had been deeply ingrained in the bones, making it difficult to truly share power. So imitating the constitutionIn this case, it becomes "the great power is unified in the imperial court, and the common government is public opinion." In other words, the central government still holds the real power, but only allows the people to participate in political discussions.
But even with such limited concessions, the Qing government could not actually make it. Its real idea or "inertial thinking" was to weaken the current powers of governors. The powers of newly established governors in each province are only equivalent to those of Japan's prefectural governors, and their financial, military and The return of power to the central government is to strengthen the power of the central government.
The decision of the Qing government caused serious dissatisfaction among local forces. Yuan Shikai, the Governor-General of Zhili and Minister of Beiyang, publicly opposed it and said it was difficult to do. The governors of various provinces also expressed dissatisfaction, so the case was temporarily shelved. The Qing government imitated the constitution and claimed to solve the problem of the authority of the central and local governments, but the result was the opposite, which was very unsatisfactory.
The real starting point of regionalism in modern China is the "Hunan New Deal" led by Chen Baozhen, Huang Zunxian and others.
The Hunan New Deal took place after the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1899. Since the defeat of the war, the Chinese people have begun to review the development problems of the past few decades. A basic consensus inside and outside the government is that there was too much control over society in the past. China has no civil society, no "self-organization", no news media, and no modern state. The social management methods possessed.
This special opportunity was keenly seized by Chen Baozhen, Huang Zunxian and others, and the reason why they conducted experiments in Hunan and succeeded was mainly because of the uniqueness of Hunan itself - the coexistence of extreme radicalism and extreme conservatism.
In terms of location, Hunan has a special window - Guangdong. Hunanese still prefer Guangdong when they go out to work. Guangdong is the region with the earliest and most contact with foreigners in modern China. Through the window of Guangdong, Hunanese saw the advantages of Western civilization. Therefore, there are a large number of Hunanese who advocate learning from the West, such as Zeng Guofan, Guo Songtao, Tan Sitong, and Mao Zedong.
On the other hand, Hunan’s position in China is the hub between the north and the south, the gateway to the southwest, and is the focus of competition for all forces. Perhaps because of this reason, Hunan people have particularly strong thoughts of xenophobia and resistance. When Germany sent troops to occupy Jiaozhou Bay in Shandong in 1897 and set off a frenzy to carve up China, Hunanese prepared for independence based on two years of experience in self-government.
This is of course not a split, but a preparation to use Hunan's independence to accumulate strength for China's future reconstruction and reunification, as Liang Qichao and others expected, and to retain a rejuvenation base.
Hunan’s independence did not become a reality in 1897 because the Qing government, in view of the huge impact of the Jiaozhou Bay Incident, began political reforms in the second year for the Reform Movement of 1898. The Reform Movement of 1898 added impetus to local autonomy in Hunan. The Nanxue Society in Hunan Province was a political group that advocated local autonomy.
Regrettably, Hunan’s local autonomy has not come to fruition. The Reform Movement of 1898 was reversed in the autumn of 1898, and Hunan's experiment in local autonomy disappeared with the dismissal of Chen Baozhen and Huang Zunxian.
In the early 1920s, the former pioneers of local self-government became the leaders of the "federal self-government" movement. Not only was Hunan the first to declare autonomy in November 1920, when Governor Tan Tingkai and Division Commander Zhao Hengti issued a telegram, it also officially promulgated and implemented the Hunan Constitution on New Year's Day in 1922.
Inspired by Hunan Province, political strongmen such as Liu Xiang of Sichuan Province, Lu Tao of Guizhou Province, Chen Jiongming of Guangdong Province, Chen Guangyuan of Jiangxi Province, Lu Yongxiang of Zhejiang Province, Chen Shufan of Shaanxi Province, Zhang Zuolin of Northeast China, and Wu Peifu of North China, They have successively used various methods to try to govern themselves.
However, we have seen a rather strange phenomenon, that is, in the early 1920s, autonomy movements were raging in various places in China. However, after several years of turmoil, China finally gained a new unification, and the provinces were still within the scope of a unified China. Within China, no province has truly separated from China.
This is actually normal, because the Chinese have had a problem of regional "loyalty stratification" since ancient times. Hunanese are loyal to Hunan, but they will not forget China. After all, there are only a few people who are really willing to make a province independent and permanently separate from China.
China’s autonomy since ancient times has been an adjustment of governance methods under unified conditions relative to Greater China. Therefore, when the autonomy movement develops to a certain stage, it is the beginning of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". According to the political logic of the 1920s, the autonomy of each province will inevitably gradually lead to the joint governance of several provinces.
The rise of the Fengcian faction is a natural example. Zhang Hanqing’s role is actually to grasp this trend and make the movement of "federal autonomy" faster and more stable.
Until the People's Party headed by Zhang Hanqing proposed "China's reunification and return to the three stages of military rule, political training, and constitutional rule", Sanbanziyi became the country's guiding ideology, and local autonomy and localism were re-incorporated into Zhang Hanqing's ideological framework . In this framework, China will still implement local autonomy, but it will go beyond the central level and directly into counties, and no longer allow each province to become an autonomous body.
This is obviously to prevent the provinces from becoming powerful and local autonomy turning into local separatism. For Zhang Hanqing, under the circumstances of occupying the right time, location, and harmony, a superficial unity will never be allowed, and the original military strength factions in all places will never be allowed to hold local power. It’s just that they no longer openly claim to implement federalism, but carefully develop local power within the framework of nationalism.
It’s just that the Fengtian Clan is a “United Provincial Autonomous Government” that already controls 17 provinces, which is equivalent to more than half of China. Does it need to be “united” again? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The provinces became stronger, and local autonomy evolved into local separatism. For Zhang Hanqing, under the circumstances of occupying the right time, location, and harmony, a superficial unity will never be allowed, and the original military strength factions in all places will never be allowed to hold local power. It’s just that they no longer openly claim to implement federalism, but carefully develop local power within the framework of nationalism.
It’s just that the Fengtian Clan is a “United Provincial Autonomous Government” that already controls 17 provinces, which is equivalent to more than half of China. Does it need to be “united” again? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 632 General Yi

The capital of Fengxi has become thicker.
170,000 directly surrendered troops, together with 30,000 recruits recruited previously, formed 54 regiments, turning all the troops that were 2 brigades and 6 regiments into the "elite division" of 3 brigades and 9 regiments not long ago.
But now, because of the thick waist of the Feng family, they no longer talk about "standard divisions", "reinforced divisions" and "elite divisions". Everyone has a standard system of 3 brigades and 9 regiments. The only difference is that the five main divisions have become the five main divisions of the People's Army because they were the first to install howitzers.
Yes, after this battle, the Fengjun and People's Army systems were unified, and all Fengjun units reorganized by the Kuomintang were called the People's Army. The only difference is that in the traditional sense, people still call them Fengxie, but what does this matter?
For the remaining army, four additional divisions will be added, using the original designations of the 23rd, 24th, 25th, and 26th divisions respectively, and merged into the ranks of the army defending Beijing. Together with the original three divisions and the newly transferred 27th Division, the People's Army around Beijing now has an astonishing 8 divisions!
This put a lot of pressure on Feng Yuxiang and others, because obviously, so many troops were coming for them, not to mention that they included the 27th Division and the 28th Division, the five main divisions of the People's Army. This is one of the reasons why they did not dare to object too much when Zhang Hanqing gradually took control of Beijing
It is normal to expand the troops by surrendering troops, because everyone is originally from the Beiyang lineage, and there is no psychological burden at all to surrender whoever wins. Moreover, with so many direct troops, if they are not recruited and allowed to return to their fields, it is very likely to cause new disasters.
The Fengjun Headquarters outside the Pass has been renamed the People's Army Garrison Headquarters. However, the top Fengjun officials were surprised that the new commander was not Guo Songling, the most popular candidate, but Ji Jinchun, who was equally senior in the Fengjun system.
??Guo Songling, who was ordered to serve as the commander-in-chief of the newly established navy of the People's Army, was the general directly selected by the young marshal.
When Zhang Hanqing asked Zhang Zuolin privately for his opinion on employment, Zhang Zuolin thought he had heard it wrong at the moment he heard it - Xiao Liuzi had always trusted Guo Songling almost unconditionally, so how could he change his position at the last moment?
In the future, the Fengcian faction will gradually move the party, government, and military organs to Beijing - the People's Party has already taken the lead, and Zhang Hanqing has sent advance troops into Beijing, seized Zhongnanhai, and named the People's Party and the National Unification Committee to move to Beijing in the future. Working here is equivalent to the center of gravity of the Fengcian faction moving from Shenyang to Beijing.
Whoever serves as the garrison commander is actually proof of Zhang Hanqing's reliance. The importance of this position cannot be overstated. Everyone, including Lao Zhang, believed that given the fighting friendship between Guo Songling and Zhang Hanqing, as well as his long-term status as the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun outside the Pass, who else could he give up?
Once upon a time, Zhang Hanqing's trust in Guo Songling was so incredible that Zhang Zuolin once scolded him: "Except if your wife doesn't sleep with Guo Maochen, you have to give him a piece of fruit when you eat it." Because of this, Guo Songling treated Zhang Hanqing. The same heartfelt respect also earned the latter the reputation of "courteous corporal".
But this is just an appearance. In Zhang Hanqing's heart, he always remembers the historical fact that in order to oppose Zhang Zuolin's suppression of the Kuomintang, Guo Songling teamed up with Feng Yuxiang and Sun Yue to rebel against Fengjun.
Although this battle ended in Zhang Zuolin's tragic victory, his vitality was severely damaged: Guo Songling killed Jiang Dengxuan, who tried to persuade him to make peace, and was later summarily shot by Yang Yuting, who had always been at odds with him, causing the Fengtian faction to lose two generals in a row. The key is that the elite Fengjun army was killing each other. Later, the Northern Expeditionary Army was able to successfully defeat the Fengjun army, which was not unrelated to this incident.
The situation now is very similar: because the Feng clique began to suppress the Kuomintang politically and militarily restrict Feng and Sun, who were close to the Kuomintang. Sun Yat-sen himself is here. Guo Songling, who has always had a good impression of the Kuomintang, is hard to guarantee that he has no idea. If the old trick is repeated, it will kill Zhang Hanqing!
The dawn of unifying the country has emerged. There can be no mistakes in this great situation! So for safety reasons, Guo Songling should be transferred and replaced by Ji Jinchun who is more loyal to the old coach!
In this regard, Guo Songling will inevitably have some ideas. After all, the Beijing Garrison is the most powerful armed group in the entire Fengjun system. Being able to become its chief officer is both an honor and a symbol of trust. For example, Wu Jun was promoted to commander-in-chief, but now he only manages a few divisions.
But Zhang Hanqing came up with a very reasonable explanation for this change of generals:
"Brother Maochen, if you put aside political factors, I will definitely feel reassured and support you as the garrison commander. Your dedication to the reorganization of Fengjun in Guan Nei is well known to everyone; you were tested by the direct army attack some time ago, and you will take credit for your achievements." All parties are very accommodating in terms of capabilities and capabilities.
But politics requires balance. If Fengjun is unified and reorganized into the People's Army, some veterans will definitely have some ideas.China's largest fleet fell into the hands of the Feng Clan. In addition, the People's Army in Henan and Hebei made rapid progress, and soon took over the original territory of the Zhili Clique, leaving Feng Yuxiang and others on pins and needles.
Without territory, where can we get money to support the army? The two of them announced after the coup that Beijing was a place for discussing political affairs and should be a city free from war. They suggested that everyone station their troops outside Beijing. This is why Feng Yuxiang stationed the main force in Langfang and Sun Yue stationed the main force in Tongzhou. .
"If this can really be achieved, the problem is that the commander of Beijing's security is Lu Zhonglin, who is Feng Yuxiang's man. All the heads and heads have entered the city of Beijing. If they are kidnapped, what will happen if there are hundreds of thousands of people's troops? Therefore, Beijing’s urban defense power must be grasped. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 633 The idea reached the Forbidden City
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing appointed Huang Xiansheng, the former director of the Security Department of the Central China People's Army Headquarters who had been with him for a long time and had actually served as his peripheral guard, as the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Armed Police Corps and the director of the Beijing Police Department. Huang is a young talent who rose to prominence during the May 4th Movement. He is four years older than himself and is also very famous in history.
I was able to see him and separate him from the many characters because of his legendary life and his calmness when faced with major events many times: he was born in the gunnery section of the Northeast Jiangwu Hall and had already served as a brigade commander. He was appointed by Zhang Xueliang. Chief of Liaoning Police, Zhang Xueliang appointed Huang to this position because he hoped that Huang's shrewdness and ability could control the front-line situation to the greatest extent during the Sino-Japanese conflict and provide a buffer for the Chinese and Japanese troops.
He has long had hatred for the Japanese, and once privately carved a large seal with the words: "Ride on the top of Mount Fuji and show your iron hooves, the Japanese slaves will be destroyed, and you will return home trampling on the cherry blossoms."
Before the September 18th Incident in history, at the end of August, he had obtained Japanese military intelligence through the then Police Inspector General Xiong Fei. Knowing that the incident was about to happen, Huang refused to sit still and wait for death. After returning to Shenyang, he immediately ordered the police teams of his 58 counties to be mobilized. The public security team was expanded into 12 corps and distributed firearms and ammunition.
This move is of great significance. This batch of guns has become one of the main sources of weapons for the various volunteer armies in the Northeast. Later, it was said that there were only two sensible people in the Northeast Army in the three northeastern provinces, namely Liaoning Governor Zang Shiyi and Huang Xiansheng.
He was the later founder and leader of the Northeast Volunteer Army. The "March of the Volunteer Army" that became the national anthem in history was actually the first to describe the achievements of his army. However, few people now study carefully what the "Volunteer Army" mentioned here originally refers to. Which army is it? I just generally think that it represents the Kanto people in the white mountains and black waters, and it is also the unyielding spirit of all Chinese people.
More importantly, he has always been loyal to himself. Of course, this self is the owner of this body, but it does not hinder his simplicity of Huang Xiansheng. Unlike Jiang Baili, Yang Jie and others, Huang Xiansheng was promoted step by step.
He was spotted when he first debuted during the May Fourth Movement, and entered the Northeast Lecture Hall student army. He then served as Zhang Hanqing's bodyguard squad leader, artillery regiment captain staff officer, major battalion commander, colonel guard commander of Hanyang Arsenal, and major general of the Central China People's Army Headquarters with the rank of second lieutenant. Minister of Security.
While others are in the army, Zhang Hanqing consciously cultivates his experience in public security - the army and the police may seem similar, but there are huge differences and knowledge inside!
The army is used to attack cities and strongholds, but settling in the rear and dealing with enemies on hidden fronts is the strength of the police. Moreover, what Zhang Hanqing likes very much about Huang Xiansheng is his word "alarm bell". For the public and national security front, it is good that the alarm bell always sounds.
The military, government, and police are all under the control of Feng Faction, and Feng Yuxiang and Sun Yue are helpless. In terms of strength, they are far behind the Feng clan; in terms of morality, Zhang Zuolin is the chairman of the National Unification Committee. As long as Sun Yixian does not come forward to fight, no one is the opponent of the Feng family.
??And Sun Yat-sen is also a person who knows the general situation. He knows the current situation and does not want to fall out with the Feng faction. He is willing to serve as the chairman of his Transportation Committee and no longer interfere in political affairs. This greatly disappoints Feng Yuxiang.
Speaking of which, the Kuomintang is also miserable. They have been in a tepid situation from the founding of the party to the present: either they are suppressed politically, they are excluded militarily, or they are economically embarrassed. When summarizing the lessons learned from the failure of the uprising, Sun Yat-sen repeatedly emphasized: "The failure was all due to lack of money, and there was no way to solve the financial problem."
After the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911, the revolutionaries found that they were even more short of money than before. Zhang Jian, an industrialist who was once the number one scholar, said it truthfully: "Excluding the possible income, the new government will be short of at least 80 million taels every year." Sun Yat-sen did not return to China immediately after the uprising. An important purpose was to raise funds. After he later returned to China, a reporter asked him how much money he had brought with him. He replied: "I don't have a penny, but I brought with me the revolutionary spirit!"
Without money, it was impossible to fight a war. The provisional government could not even demobilize the troops gathered in Nanjing, because without severance pay, the soldiers would mutiny. Financial difficulties were an important reason why the revolutionaries handed over power to Yuan Shikai.
From 1918 to 1919, Sun Yat-sen lived in Shanghai. His revolutionary career entered a low ebb, and money shortage broke out again. Some revolutionaries were living in poverty and wrote to him to borrow money to make ends meet. Sun had no money to give, but he personally responded to every letter asking for help.
One day, I received a letter calling Sun Yat-sen the "originator of the revolution". The person who wrote the letter claimed that he was a descendant of Sun and asked to send money. Sun replied: "Since I know that I am the originator and you are the descendant, it is the descendants who should support the originator, and there is no ancestor who supports the descendants. Even Yao and Shun could not help it. You should seek your own employment and achieve self-sufficiency in life. You cannot be a revolutionary. If you continue to rely on me, I am willing to support you for your descendants.I respect you as the originator, please give me money! "
People who are poor and have short ambitions cannot eat enough by relying on their spirit. Sun Yat-sen has no money and cannot control the army, and his fate is destined to be wandering.
At this time and space, the same three parties control the political arena in Beijing. Because the Feng Faction is rich and powerful, the lifeline of the National Army is still in the hands of the Feng Faction. To get out of trouble, you need to find another way out.
It seems that the only one who can increase their strength is themselves. Feng Yuxiang and the two have reaped benefits in Beijing. For example, the only 300,000 yuan in the Ministry of Finance's books was divided between the two people, and a batch of 500,000 yuan in road funds that had just been released from the Beijing-Hankow Railway were also caught red-handed. It's just that for the "National Army" with nearly 100,000 people, this money can only be used to entertain themselves for a while.
They also considered taking prisoners. For example, the commander of the Sixteenth Mixed Brigade (i.e. Cao Kun's Guard Brigade) stationed in Baoding, Cao Shijie (Cao Kun's nephew and the eldest son of Cao Kun's fifth brother Cao Jun), after the war, Sun Yue placed Cao Shijie under house arrest and forced him to hand over 30 Ten thousand yuan as a condition for release.
Cao Shijie used the excuse that he was unable to raise funds while in prison. Sun Yue then sent people to see Cao Jun in Tianjin. After many rounds of negotiations, it was finally agreed that Cao Jun would hand over 100,000 yuan on his behalf, and Sun Yue released Cao Shijie.
When marching and fighting, we can't always rely on these sneaky things to solve the military pay problem. After thinking about it, the two generals who were loyal to the national revolution thought of revolutionizing the last emperor's life——
We have worked so hard to pave the way for the Republic of China. Puyi, the deposed emperor, is still sitting comfortably on his throne, receiving four million taels of silver dollars in benefits from the Republic of China every year for more than ten years. It is estimated that in the Forbidden City Are all the silver coins piled up in mountains?
For Feng Yuxiang, the idea of ??building the Forbidden City not only alleviated the tight financial situation, but also solved a problem for him. He was a committed revolutionary, at least serious about his opposition to the imperial system.
When Yuan Shikai restored the monarchy, he made Feng Yuxiang a baron. When he heard the news, he cried bitterly and said: "This is a great insult to me, Feng Yuxiang. If we don't eradicate the Yuan thieves and overthrow the monarchy, we will be sorry for the Luanzhou Uprising." brothers."
Although Zhang Xun's restoration was a farce, Feng Yuxiang believes that it was because Puyi was allowed to stay in the Forbidden City that the Qing elders never forgot to restore the monarchy. He believes that in the capital of the Republic of China, there is still a small imperial court that was abolished by the Qing Dynasty. This is a shame for the Republic of China and an evil root that Chinese and foreign conspirators can take advantage of. It must be eradicated!
Now, Feng Yuxiang, who has occupied Beijing, finally has the opportunity to implement his ideal of completely overthrowing the imperial system.
When they thought of this, the two of them decided to act as soon as possible. First, the military and police of the Feng Clan have entered the city one after another. At this stage, they are controlling the place and looking for logistics facilities and garrison. When the situation calms down, they may be driven out of Beijing. Secondly, they do not believe the old warlords of the Feng Clan. If you are not thinking about the treasure in the Forbidden City, it is better to strike first than to let others take it.
So Feng Yuxiang sent Lu Zhonglin and police chief Zhang Bi to lead the police and guards into the Shenwumen and the Forbidden City to negotiate with Puyi. In a tough stance, he announced the presidential directive, restricting Puyi to move out of the palace within 2 hours. They even took out hollow bombs and pretended that cannons had been set up on Jingshan Mountain, forcing Puyi and his concubines to move out of the Forbidden City and retreat to the Regent's Palace.
As a reward, they also asked for five million in military pay to ensure that the soldiers "will not use weapons rashly due to financial constraints"
The threat of Qiu Ba cannot be simply understood as a threat, and it may become real. If it were before the Zhili clique was overthrown, Chang Yinchang, the palace guard, would still have the confidence to respond forcefully. Wang Huaiqing, the commander of the Beijing garrison at that time, was staunchly loyal to the Qing Dynasty. After the Republic of China, he privately returned the Summer Palace, an imperial garden that had been taken back by the Beiyang government.
"In addition, Wang Huaiqing once spared Feng Yuxiang's life. If he were here, he would have considerable binding force on Feng Jun. But now, Wang Huaiqing and others in his immediate circle have been defeated, and the savior is gone.
????????????????????????????????????????????????—While the roaring sounds of gunfire resounded through the streets and alleys of Beijing, the emperor Puyi, the queen Wanrong and their concubines who lived deep in the palace did not care at all. Puyi, in particular, had personally experienced Yuan Shikai's forced palace, restoration, and Zhang Xun's restoration. He had long been numb to the disputes among the Beiyang factions in Beijing and the rapid changes in the cabinet.
He believes that no matter who comes to power, it will not affect their status and comfortable living conditions.
In order to allow the Manchus to abdicate, Yuan Shikai made many guarantees, including "the Qing emperor will never be abolished", "the emperor's annual salary shall not be less than four million taels", "the princes and princes will remain the same", etc. Finally, the powerful Empress Dowager Longyu was moved by the money, and the Republic of China was successfully founded.
Later, Yuan Shikai wanted to be emperor. That was the biggest crisis: the small court had received an order to move out of the Forbidden City to the Summer Palace, and had already given up the three main halls and started repairs. The dream of "Emperor Hongxian" was shattered;
Zhang Xun was really surprised when he came back to power, but it was just a surprise. Pig urine bubbles blow loudly, but they burst quickly. Duan Qirui re-established the Republic, and the little emperor was kicked out as soon as he ascended to the Dragon Court. Fortunately, he ascended the throne passively, so his treatment was not affected at all;
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? During the period that Zhizhi and Feng could share Beijing, the palace was still not affected. During Puyi's wedding, the two co-owners, Zhili and Feng, both sent extremely heavy congratulatory gifts. Those things are still there now.

Yinchang still has some insight and courage. He is also known as the "first Manchu general". He has long served as the guard of the imperial palace and the chief of bodyguard of various presidents.
During Yuan Shikai's time, he served as military attache and chief of staff. During Duan Qirui's tenure, he continued to serve as military attaché during President Xu Shichang's term. After the Republic of China, he was the only Manchu to be given such an important position.
He once committed suicide when Zhang Xun was defeated in the restoration and had no way to advance and was in a very embarrassing situation: "Who would have thought, I can't please both sides." However, this did not affect his continued position as the captain of the bodyguard, which was considered an anomaly.
Hu Sijing once praised him: "In ancient times, the function of the Ministry of War was to manage the money and food of the world's troops, and it was not driven by desire. Yinchang, the Minister of Army, returned from Haibang. He cut his hair and changed clothes into a suit. When he entered the court, he wore fake braids and became a minister. As the commander-in-chief, all the officers and generals in the department will become Wu Bian, which will create a miracle unprecedented in the ages."
His son Yin Tiege married Yuan Qizhen, the daughter of Yuan Shikai, so he was also a Beiyang veteran.
It’s just that Beiyang has gradually gone away. For the newly promoted generals of the Republic of China, Feng Yuxiang and others, the vastness of the world is not as great as their own power. In order to obtain military pay and expand the army, even the emperor could not control it.
The only army guarding the huge Forbidden City is the Yinchang Guards of 300 people. Basically, apart from patrolling, they can only guard a few palace gates. Looking at the heavily armed guards and policemen from the garrison headquarters, he was heartbroken. He was afraid that he would not be friendly today, so he said to Lu Zhonglin: "The country has given many preferential treatment to the royal family, and it has not been changed in twelve years. The "Preferential Treatment Regulations" are still there. Does the general want the country to renege on its promise?"
Lu Zhonglin adhered to Feng Yuxiang's intention to express a progressive attitude and echo the people's call for dishonor. Of course, expelling the emperor was a good direction: no one would fight with him, and he could also get some benefits, so what's the point? But not? He said: "Puyi violated the "Preferential Treatment Regulations" signed with the National Government when he participated in Zhang Xun's restoration, so we don't recognize this emperor!"
Yinchang is a die-hard royalist. How can he give in due to his responsibilities? He asked angrily: "These major national affairs should be discussed with us by the central government and the cabinet. You are a general, how can you represent the government?!"
Zhang Bi became impatient: "Stop talking nonsense, you are a slave of the Qing Dynasty, and you also want to block our progress? Tell the little emperor to get out of here, otherwise we will help you move, but by then, it will not be easy to talk. !
“In addition, it has been 6 years since Zhang Xun’s restoration, and you have also taken a lot of state money. It’s time to withdraw now. We understand that you once had a great family and a great business, so we will only give you a half discount of 12 million yuan! "
Calculated at four million taels per year, there is a lot in six years, but the silver coins cannot just go in and out. The salaries of so many concubines, maids, eunuchs, and guards in the entire palace are obtained from here. This money is a package cost. A group of people spend a lot of money on food, clothing, housing and transportation. If it weren't for the fact that there were many old people in the palace to support themselves, what would the four million taels per year alone be enough for!
Yinchang knew best. He said loudly: "This money is needed to feed a lot of people, which is not enough. If not for this, Your Majesty would not have dismissed a large number of eunuchs a few months ago."
This is true. On July 15th this year, Puyi dismissed 1,734 eunuchs, leaving only 15 elders guarding the important gates of the palace. However, it turned out that there was not enough to use, and hundreds of people were recalled one after another.
Zhang Bi let out a light chirp and snorted coldly: "The reason for firing those slaves is because you have gone too far. You are still crying to me about poverty. That fire burned so many national treasures, and it was just molten ruins." There is a gold shop that bids for 500,000 yuan. At that time, the number of melted gold nuggets and gold flakes was more than 17,000 taels! There are so many treasures in this palace. We won’t listen to you cry now. After the little emperor leaves, Let’s do the counting ourselves!”
It is believed that the fire that broke out in the Jianfu Palace in the Forbidden City in June was set by the eunuchs themselves in order to eliminate evidence of voyeurism. Because after the Qing Emperor abdicated, many eunuchs had no food and clothing, or saw the lack of defense in the palace, so they began to want to peek at the treasures.
According to Puyi's later autobiography: "It was simply a catastrophe. It can be said that everyone who participated in the robbery was from top to bottom. In other words, everyone who had the opportunity to steal, no one did not steal, and You can steal as boldly as you like. When I got married, theft had reached such an extent: just after the wedding, all the original treasures on the 'Queen's' phoenix crown were replaced with fakes.
There are different ways of stealing. There are secret steals by picking locks, and blatant steals based on legal procedures. Most eunuchs use the former method, while ministers and officials use legal methods such as mortgage or auction, lending for appreciation, and requesting rewards. "
The Royal Master Johnston once said that after the fire, the place where he lived wasMany new antique shops have opened on Mengmen Street. Where did the antique come from? I heard that some were opened by eunuchs, and some were opened by officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or relatives of officials
Because of the rampant theft, Puyi wanted to check the treasures in the palace. However, as soon as he entered Jianfu Palace, this beautiful royal treasure house was burned down to the ground that night. Later, Puyi did not dare to investigate anymore because he was afraid that his life would be in danger if he continued to investigate! Having so many eunuchs in the palace was really a source of trouble, so they were dismissed a few days later.
To say that Puyi couldn’t expose the blame is a mockery of the readers’ intelligence. There are so many treasures in the Forbidden City, but there are still quite a few intact. Otherwise, there would be no two museums in the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Forbidden City in Taipei. However, excluding cultural relics and gold jewelry, there is not much real gold and silver. Especially silver dollars, the currency in circulation at that time, could be exchanged directly for treasure when needed
What happened in the Forbidden City quickly became known to everyone. The Imperial City was originally the focus of people's attention, but now a large number of armed military and police officers broke in, and they heard that they wanted to expel the emperor from the palace. Of course, it quickly became news. So much so that Huang Xiansheng, who was responsible for maintaining public security after settling in Beijing not long ago, heard about it.
Zhang Hanqing told Huang Xiansheng before he entered the city: The cultural relics in the Forbidden City are national treasures, and tragic things like the fire in June cannot happen again. Cultural relics are no more regenerable than gold and silver. It is a blessing for our generation to leave a memorial for future generations. Therefore, in addition to Zhongnanhai, where the Fengcian headquarters is located, there are also many armed police units stationed around the palace.
In fact, when Lu Zhonglin, Zhang Bi and others were about to force their way into the Forbidden City, the garrison police were already preparing to dispatch and reported to Huang Xiansheng and the military police.
There is a military police battalion nearby, and the person in charge of it is Li Debiao, a deputy commander of the People's Army Military Police Headquarters.
Li Debiao’s strict discipline is regarded as a model by the entire Fengjun army. Even Marshal Zhang dared to beat and scold him, but he was a blessing in disguise. After being promoted several times, he has become the deputy commander of the regiment. He is very popular as a police officer in the army. In the war-torn capital of Beijing, his gendarmerie dealt with many military and police violations. Of course, the vast majority were members of the National Army, as well as some stragglers from the direct line.
Li Debiao, who has always enforced the law impartially, will not tolerate collective violations of military orders. After the three parties counter-insurgents, they agreed on the location and scope of control of each party's military personnel, and stipulated that military personnel were not allowed to participate in government or social affairs. All dispatches of a company or above must be reported to the National Defense Commission for approval. Now, Lu Zhonglin and others are openly violating military orders. This is a matter that his military police should take care of.
He led a team of troops to approach the palace gate. Facing the overwhelming crowd, Li Debiao was not afraid of the small team of only a dozen people: the military police did not want to fight, they only wanted to correct mistakes, temporarily confine themselves to disobey the battlefield management personnel, and Responsible for suppressing and restoring order behind enemy lines.
It is rare for a large-scale military rebellion to occur. If it does happen, no matter how many military police there are, it will be useless. He shouted at the other party: "Which army is on the other side? Let your officers speak out!"
Lu Zhonglin looked at a group of black-clad soldiers arriving, all in black military uniforms, which were typical military law enforcement officers' attire, and he knew something was going to happen. However, with the arrow on the string, he had no choice but to send someone to stop him and preemptively said: "The National Army Garrison Headquarters is carrying out military duties, and all idlers will get out of the way!"
Indeed! If they were in the army, they would definitely not be called "miscellaneous people." You must know that all military police units in the Fengjun army are directly affiliated with the political departments at all levels, and the political department is an extremely critical department. In non-combat situations, even the chiefs at all levels dare not interfere with their work!
Li Debiao, on the other hand, is under the command of the General Political Department, and is beyond the awareness of ordinary military officers.
You must know that according to the People's Army Training and Regulations, the military police can arrest commanders at all levels. Of course, in most cases, the word "arrest" is not used, but "escort" to the higher-level headquarters for investigation. At that time, the commander's security forces were not allowed to interfere, otherwise they would most likely be declared a "rebellion"!
Therefore, when military police perform official duties, they must not be counted as "miscellaneous personnel."
Li Debiao was not afraid of anyone except Marshal Zhang and Marshal Zhang, so how could he be easily intimidated by a group of Nationalist troops? He said loudly: "We are the military police of the People's Army. Tell us your serial number and the name of your commander." He pointed at the soldiers of the National Army who wanted to stop him and said calmly: "According to the regulations, anyone who raises a gun at the military police shall be regarded as Rebels can be shot on the spot!"
The Nationalist Army didn’t dare to move. We all heard that the Fengjun Army had strict military discipline. Good guy, even the military police were so arrogant. We just come to the palace to make a fortune, not to die. Even Lu Zhonglin was taken down by this small group of military policemen.
He still has a natural respect for the Feng clan: the arrogant Wu Peifu lost his division and territory while talking and laughing. As a former close member, he knew the strength of Marshal Wu. His 3rd Division was the leader of the Beiyang Army. I heard that the 27th Division of the Fengjun Army was unable to mobilize on the front line - there were five such divisions!
Although Wu’s defeat was due to their coup, it still cannot be underestimated when considering that the Feng Faction relied on a few divisions outside the customs to withstand Marshal Wu’s attack. Calculating that they only deployed a quarter of their strength in the full attack.
He said with a smile: "It turns out that we are brothers from the Fengjun Military Police. We are the National Army and we were ordered to do business here."
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Don’t hit the smiling person, you can’t afford to offend him, you can only soften up. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The leader of the foreign army, I heard that the 27th Division of the Fengjun Army was unable to move on the front line - there were five such divisions!
Although Wu’s defeat was due to their coup, it still cannot be underestimated when considering that the Feng Faction relied on a few divisions outside the customs to withstand Marshal Wu’s attack. Calculating that they only deployed a quarter of their strength in the full attack.
He said with a smile: "It turns out that we are brothers from the Fengjun Military Police. We are the National Army and we were ordered to do business here."

Li Debiao said seriously: "Since it is a business trip, there must be instructions from the National Defense Commission. Take it out and take a look."
With no face given to him, Zhang Bi quit his job. He was an early member of the alliance. He followed Sun Yat-sen to participate in the Revolution of 1911 and the "Second Revolution" against Yuan Dynasty. Later, he followed Cai E to join the National Defense Army. He was considered to be battle-hardened.
Feng Jun disobeyed "commands" and entered Beijing, gradually seizing political and military achievements. However, Sun Yat-sen kept giving in, which made him anxious. Then he thought of using the method of "forcing the palace" to get money, and to make another last resort for the "revolution". A little effort. Historically, it was Feng Yuxiang's idea to drive away Emperor Xun, so it was called "Zhang Bi forced the palace".
They are all doing things for the country, and they are all heroes in defeating the Zhili. Why does Fengjun think of himself as the boss? Premier Sun has been losing ground politically. If he has to surrender to Fengjun militarily, will the Kuomintang and the National Army still have a place to stay? The military police of Fengjun are just looking after you, Fengjun, and have nothing to do with our National Army!
Thinking of this, he shouted angrily: "The National Army and the Fengjun are not the same system. You can't read these instructions!"
Oh, is this a naked provocation? But who is Li Debiao? He dares to scold even the commander-in-chief! However, Li Debiao, who has experienced a lot, has gained some political wisdom. He asked coldly: "Is this your intention or the National Army's intention?!"
It was obvious that Zhang Bi was a police officer, but Lu Zhonglin, who was wearing a military uniform next to him, did not dare to be tough, so he knew it. As a "grassroots veteran" of the Feng Clan, Li Debiao can also obtain some inside information that is difficult for others to obtain. Many people in the Feng faction wanted to take the opportunity to drive the National Army out of Beijing, but because of the young marshal's face - Zhang Hanqing and Sun Yixian reached a "gentleman's agreement" to jointly manage the city of Beijing.
It would be different if the National Army took the lead in breaking the rules. I am afraid that the young marshal would have to kill them. After all, rules cannot be broken (Zhang Hanqing: Actually, you don’t understand. To me, rules are meant to be broken. broken).
Zhang Bi is not willing to be outdone. A young boy from the Feng clan dares to talk to him in this tone. You are not a young commander! He said forcefully: "This is what we mean. The National Army has its own order and does not need your intervention!"
Li Derbiao smiled instead of getting angry: "You are a policeman! If you get involved with the army, you will lose your sense of impartiality. You are not worthy of being a policeman!"
The separation of military and police has been implemented in Liaoning for 7 years and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The two systems have been running in parallel ever since. Logically speaking, as a military policeman, he has no control over the police. However, because Beijing is actually under military control, it would be reasonable for him to ask anyone to be investigated under a state of emergency.
He then said seriously to Lu Zhonglin: "Without instructions, I can think that what you are doing is illegal. I ask you to stop your illegal actions immediately and wait for the Shangguan to send someone to investigate!"
After receiving several trainings, he became somewhat literate in speaking, unlike before, where he just choked and cursed.
Zhang Bi was afraid of long nights and many dreams, and did not want to tangle with him. He said to Yinchang: "Tell your little emperor to move out of the Forbidden City as soon as possible. In addition, the fee will be handed over even if the King of Heaven comes, and it will be regarded as your contribution to the people." Apologize."
Puyi and others in the palace were like ants on a hot pot, listening over and over again to the anxious eunuchs telling them bad news. With nothing to rely on, they could only let this group of menacing bandit-like people entangle themselves at the palace gate.
"The queen and concubines are like nameless flies. They have never experienced such a disaster: After leaving the Forbidden City, where will a bunch of people live? Where is the face of the Qing Emperor? So what about the future life! This is a group of estranged people who have been estranged within the high wall for a long time. They can no longer imagine the suffering in the world.
I hoped that some military police from the Faction could stop this horrific behavior, but it didn't seem to work.
Li Debiao was furious when he saw that this group of people remained indifferent, but openly provoked him in front of him. He loudly ordered to the few military police behind him: "All of you, seal the palace gate immediately, and shoot any trespassers without mercy!"
Then he raised his head and pointed at Lu Zhonglin and Zhang Bi: "I will report today's events to Commander Feng and Commander Sun. I am here. If you want to break through the palace gate from me, you have to step over my body!" "
He pulled out his pistol and shouted loudly: "Attacking the military police is the same as committing rebellion. Come if you dare!"
Even though Lu Zhonglin had been on the battlefield for a long time, he was still shocked by him. He really didn't dare to do anything to such an officer who was not afraid of death. If something goes wrong, the Feng faction probably won't let them off lightly.
Zhang Bi was also angry. He also pulled out his pistol and said loudly: "Are we keeping the guns in our hands for dinner? Brothers, copy the guy!"?The people Zhong Lin leads are from the army, so naturally they don't dare to mess around. He is a policeman. It is his duty to maintain law and order, and he has the power to deal with situations as they arise. Even if the other party is a military policeman, they are just performing their duties.
The policemen from the security department also raised their guns, and the two sides were about to start a fight at the gate of the palace. Yinchang was the number one Manchu general. Upon seeing this, he shrank down and gave up his position for fear of being accidentally injured.
I heard people shouting and neighing in the distance. Both sides looked where they were, only to see countless people in the dark surrounding them. The cavalry were leading the way, followed by a large number of heavily armed policemen running behind them. The sound of thunderous horse hooves and neat footsteps could be heard throughout Chang'an Street.
It’s the Mounted Police! Li Debiao took a long breath. The Armed Police Force is a very capable paramilitary force, and this kind of light firepower combat is what they are good at. This force has been alarmed, and it seems that their own backup is not far away.
Countless black holes with gun muzzles sticking out, and the north and south were blocked. The key is that there are still many shadowy figures moving behind them. I don’t know how many people are coming. Under the fierce fighting, the military police are unlikely to survive, but the large number of national troops and police will not have a good outcome.
Lu Zhonglin waved his hand and said loudly: "We are the National Army and a friendly army. Please ask your commander to come out and speak!"
There was a deathly silence, no one paid attention to him, but the opponent began to look for favorable terrain to set up an offensive position. Under the black muzzle of the gun, the invisible National Army began to look at each other.
Although many of them have never seen the majesty of Fengjun, it is true that 200,000 well-trained Zhili troops were annihilated in one battle. What can I do to fight them? There is no telling if they might even be called rebels after being annihilated. No one thought about picking up the gun in their hands, fearing that such an action would be misunderstood by the other party as a signal to fight back.
Some people began to regret it and thought of taking advantage of the little emperor. If they knew that this would happen, they would not come even if they were beaten to death!
Lu Zhonglin rubbed the sweat from his hands and said loudly again: "We are the National Army, please ask your commander to speak out!"
The other party still didn’t reply, but responded with the sound of a bullet being loaded. The neat and crisp sound of pulling the bolts of guns made the hearts of the National Army and the police suddenly accelerate. Damn it, this is the time for the fight to begin!

Chapter 636 A battle of wills

From a distance, a horse came galloping.
Lu Zhonglin calmed down a little. Anyway, the sound is much more comfortable than the silence before the battle. Fighting, especially fighting against the powerful Fengjun, is really not a good choice.
The man on the horse was a messenger. He shouted to the hundreds of surrounded soldiers and policemen: "On the order of General Huang Xiansheng, the director of the police department and the commander of the Beijing Armed Police Force, the people on the opposite side immediately put down their weapons. I shouted dozens of times, and then everyone The armed police are free to fire at the rebels!”
Even the rebels have said it, this is the rhythm of real fighting! Lu Zhonglin shouted: "We are the National Army!"
The answer to him was a clear and resounding word: "One!"
Lu Zhonglin continued: "They are friendly forces!"
"two!"
Lu Zhonglin and Zhang Bi looked at each other: What should we do if there is no dialogue? Fight or surrender? If we fight, we are afraid that we will all be beaten to death and the reputation of a rebel will be forced on us by the Feng clique. It is estimated that even the two generals Feng and Sun will suffer by then; if we surrender, the Kuomintang will seize political resources and status with the Feng clique. At the critical moment, the news that they surrendered to the Fengjun would be a heavy blow to the Kuomintang faction!
“Perhaps today’s conflict was deliberately planned by the Feng faction?
Heaven and earth conscience, this is really a sudden situation. But because the armed police force has always been well-trained, this response is not unusually fast. Of course, the fact that the young marshal and the direct commander Huang Xiansheng personally supervised the formation from behind was also an important reason.
Compared with the tense atmosphere in front of them, far out of sight, the two of them were walking side by side, chatting and basking in the sun. If Lu Zhonglin knew that they were discussing their life and death in such a comfortable atmosphere, I don't know what he would think!
Huang Xiansheng: "Young Marshal, for the sake of safety, I still let someone inform the Beiyuan garrison. The National Army is an army after all. In case"
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "Nothing is wrong, even this armed police force can eat them up!" He said leisurely: "At least there are nearly 20,000 people, but you can't move them?"
Huang Xiansheng shook his head and said: "It's not that we can't defeat them, it's just that using armed police is not as effective as using the army. You want to deal with them anyway."
Zhang Hanqing smiled slightly and said: "Actually, I really don't want to fight with them in Beijing. But if I am a little polite, they think I am easy to bully."
After a pause, he said: "It's enough to argue with me on the selection of the Unified Committee. I still want to add sand to each committee. I'm just borrowing Mr. Sun's reputation. They really say they are fat. The country continues to It has not stopped for so many years. It is time to drive away these boring politicians who are pointing fingers. The country of Fengxian cannot allow them to mess around!"
Concerned about the influence, Zhang Hanqing designed a committee system to temporarily perform state functions. However, because everyone was cautious, each committee became a bargaining market. Although it is difficult to influence the decision-making of Fengxi in the overall situation, the buzzing of flies is still annoying. This united government may have been wrong from the beginning, and should still use force to achieve the goal of creating a new Republic of China.
"If I had known this, I should have just moved the Northeast to Beijing and started from scratch to rebuild the atmosphere of the Republic of China." Zhang Hanqing regretted.
Huang Xiansheng was a little excited: "Young Marshal, could it be that your purpose this time is to take the opportunity to cause trouble?"
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said, "What do you think? If the Nationalist army resists, I will take this as an opportunity to eat all their troops. If they give up, I can also take the opportunity to lower their morale and prevent them from advancing further." He sighed leisurely and said: "Although I also want to drive the little emperor out of the palace to complete the task of complete revolution, this matter should be done by us, and there is no need for him, Feng Yuxiang, to overstep his authority!"
"seven!"
"eight!"
Lu Zhonglin had sweat on his forehead. He knew that the other party had no right person to show up, which was actually a precursor to falling out. Now it is no longer a matter of whether or not he should be decent, but people have made it clear that they will not give him dignity. Judging from the posture of Fengjun, they seem to hope that they can fight this battle? He seemed to see Feng Xi smiling sinisterly and opening his mouth to the National Army
Forget it, sacrificing the honor of a soldier is worth it if it can be exchanged for the success of the national cause. He sighed and said, "Forget it, let's not resist!"
The soldiers and policemen behind him immediately dropped their weapons and shouted: "They are friendly forces, we will not fight!"
However, soldiers who throw down their weapons cannot expect to be respected by others. The armed police have not been trained to treat prisoners preferentially. They were ordered to live close to the palace wall.Squatting on the road.
Zhang Hanqing was already in control of the good news that came earlier, so he was not surprised. He said to Huang Xiansheng: "You see, many times, a confrontation is a battle of wills. Basically, the one who loses first will be completely defeated. The confrontation itself actually shows that both sides have no determination to fight, otherwise , no need for confrontation at all, but just take action directly.
My original intention of creating this armed police force was to act as a buffer between the Chinese and Japanese armies, but later, I gradually changed my mind. The Japanese are not afraid of misfires, so why should I give them the opportunity to fire the first shot? "
He told an interesting story about the Jiaoji Railway and the Japanese who fought for the right to protect the railway: "I used the army to fight them face to face. I don't believe they are not afraid of death! In the end, they 'gave' control themselves and huddled between Jinan and Qingdao. Went to the station in a big city!"
“The Japanese are not afraid, so are they afraid of the National Army, which is weaker than them? After detaining the two officers, Zhang Hanqing issued a direct order to revoke Zhang Bi's position as police chief and fire him from the police force. From then on, only police and armed police units with special affiliations were allowed to maintain order in Beijing, and no other unrelated personnel were allowed to disrupt social order
Regarding Lu Zhonglin, Zhang Hanqing advocated expulsion from the military and prosecution for "armed resistance to military orders".
Hundreds of people were collectively disarmed. This incident caused such a big fuss that the People's Army Garrison Headquarters also questioned the National Army Headquarters: "Your department must strictly restrain its officers and soldiers to jointly maintain public security in Beijing and local tranquility!"
Feng Yuxiang was furious and argued: "Lu Zhonglin is the commander responsible for Beijing's security. His actions do not seem to need to be reported to the deputy commander of the Fengjun Military Police!" He also called on the Kuomintang officials in Beijing to respond in large numbers. Demand the release of Lu, Zhang and other military and police officers.
Sun Yixian was also deeply surprised. He asked Zhang Hanqing to handle the deer case carefully, "so as not to damage the harmony between the two parties." They are all followers of the Kuomintang. No matter who it is, it will be embarrassing for him to hurt him.
Zhang Hanqing expressed that it was difficult to agree. He replied: "My respect for Mr. Yixian does not mean that I will not stop the fact that your subordinates violate laws and disciplines. After the rebellion, Zhang and Lu still armed themselves to resist the military police and even the armed police force, which had a very bad impact. If we can't deal with it decisively and seriously, how can we win the trust of the world? How can we manage the army and the police?" He showed an attitude that he would not hesitate to fall out in order to maintain discipline.
The toughness of the Feng faction was beyond Sun Yat-sen's expectation, and he also felt that the situation was serious. As a last resort, Sun Yat-sen ordered the National Army not to enter Beijing and to dismantle Lu's Beijing Security Command; in return, Zhang Hanqing also ordered the release of Lu Zhonglin, "Never enter Beijing!"
From then on, the city of Beijing was exclusively owned by the Feng clan. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 637 Guests in the Palace
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
As the greatest contributor to this "protection", Emperor Puyi personally sent someone to express his gratitude to Zhang Hanqing, and graciously invited him to visit the palace at a convenient time.
Regarding the issue of treating the royal family, Zhang Zuolin still cannot get rid of the legacy of the previous dynasty: Although he is the king of Northeast China and now the king of China, he still has a deep respect for the "Xuantong" emperor. You can see the importance of courtesy.
Not only him, but also figures such as Li Yuanhong, Xu Shichang, and Cao Kun were also very enthusiastic. This is one of the reasons why the imperial palace remained safe despite the political turmoil in Beijing.
Zhang Zuolin came from a very low background. Although he has achieved great things, he cannot get rid of his inferiority complex. The emperor is the emperor, and he was overjoyed to be able to eat "imperial food" at the beginning. This feeling cannot be explained clearly. In addition, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell from power, it still had influence in China, especially in the Northeast. For the sake of profit, he also had to take the initiative to establish contact with Puyi.
Zhang Hanqing never thought of using the "Xuantong" emperor as a sign. On the contrary, after receiving the education and ideas of later generations, he had no good impression, awe or respect for the royal family at all: it was this incompetent Qing government that made him rush around for a job in his previous life. If China has always maintained its advanced level before the Ming Dynasty, why is it so advanced? Then it will be foreigners working for the Chinese!
But Yifan was very happy when he learned about it: this mysterious deep palace is a place that countless Chinese people yearn for. It's not to follow the crowd, not to strive for gain, but just to satisfy the imperial complex that has existed for two thousand years! What's more, there is a real emperor living in this palace!
Zhang Hanqing was also a little moved. He had watched the movie "The Last Emperor" when he was young, and he had also read the memoir "The First Half of My Life". He would be lying if he said he didn't care about the little emperor. The emperor's meal with hundreds of dishes and the palace's 3,000 beauties can all be seen. There are definitely no more three thousand beauties now. This Puyi is inhumane. Why do he need so many concubines? But that Queen Wanrong is really stunning!
And now there are no tickets required to enter and leave the Forbidden City!
With this in mind, Zhang Hanqing accepted the invitation, and on a sunny morning, together with Yu Yifan, they rushed to the palace in a car, surrounded by guards. However, the palace is so big and has so many doors. Where to go and which door to enter will immediately become a problem.
There is a saying in old Beijing about the city gates of Beijing: "Nine inside and seven outside, seven imperial cities, four, nine gates and one clock at eight o'clock." Puyi now lives in the innermost Forbidden City, which is commonly known as the standard "Imperial City". There are four gates here: Meridian Gate, Donghua Gate, Xihua Gate and Shenwu Gate.
Zhang Hanqing did not have the opportunity to visit Beijing before crossing over. At this time, he hesitated. Instead, the guards went in directly from the south under the leadership of the policemen who were born and raised in charge of guarding the imperial city. The young marshal is the future head of state, so it is natural for him to enter through the main entrance.
From Daqingmen to Tiananmen and then to Duanmen, there is no stop. At this time, Tiananmen had not yet been given the political mission given by later generations. In addition, it had not been repaired for several years, and it had already shown a dilapidated appearance. Zhang Hanqing originally wanted to see this forbidden area excitedly, but he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The sound of the car startled several magpies that were pecking on the tower. They circled reluctantly for a long time, but finally they couldn't let go of that precious land. In the exhaust smoke of the car, they lived there again.
Until approaching the Meridian Gate, the dilapidated palace finally showed its remaining majesty.
The Meridian Gate is located on the north-south axis of the Forbidden City and is the main entrance of the palace. It forms a square square surrounded by city platforms on the northeast and west sides. Arranged from both sides of the gatehouse on the back to the south, it is shaped like a wild goose's wing, which is the famous wild goose wing tower. The majestic Meridian Gate looks like it is surrounded by three mountains, with five protruding peaks. It is majestic, so it is commonly known as the Five Phoenix Tower.
There are three door openings on the front of the Meridian Gate. Both of them visited this place as "guests" during Puyi's wedding the year before last. According to regulations, only the emperor can enter and exit the main door in the middle; the queen can enter once during the emperor's wedding; and the three people who win the first prize, second place, and third best in the palace examination can walk out through this door once. In the Qing Dynasty, civil and military ministers walked through the left door, while royal family members walked through the right door.
Ninety percent of the eunuchs in the palace compound were dismissed because of the huge city gate. There were only two older men huddled in the corner, basking in the sun and chatting as guards. The feeling of loneliness added to the misery of the declining imperial city. atmosphere. The last emperor, this is probably a portrayal of history, right?
The size of Zhang Hanqing’s party had already awakened the two eunuchs. They rushed over and tried to give Zhang Hanqing a thousand dollars first. In the morning, a message came from the inner palace. The young marshal who is now in charge of Beijing City wants to pay homage to His Majesty. Judging from the situation, they should be here.
"The younger one was here early in the morning."??, the master should be anxious now, the young commander will follow the younger one. "This is an older eunuch. His charming face has been left there by the vicissitudes of time. He looks even smaller under the majestic city gate.
He didn’t know who the young marshal was or what his identity was, but from the fact that the emperor was very concerned about his entry into the palace, it seemed that the young man in front of him had a good background. Alas, the tiger fell down and was bullied by the dog. The current Qing Dynasty (he still thinks so) is not the former Qing Dynasty.
Eunuch! This term that has been forgotten by the world has more of a mocking meaning in later generations, and now it appears vividly in front of him. Zhang Hanqing stared at the eunuch for a while, but his face was smooth and there was no beard. As for the lack of more important things, it was not visible at all under the thin cotton clothes wrapped in it.
It’s hard to imagine what a man would do without that thing. With some regret that his bad taste could not be verified, Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: “Lead the way.”
The eunuch immediately trotted and led Zhang Hanqing to the doorway on one side. Zhang Hanqing snorted coldly, took Yu Yifan's hand, and walked straight through the central door.
The older eunuch shouted in a false voice: "Young Marshal, this is the way to go, but it is taboo!"
Zhang Hanqing rolled his eyes at him: "The emperor has been ousted from power for more than ten years, and he still clings to these old rules. Do you still think it's still before the Revolution of 1911?"
The two eunuchs looked at each other, wanting to say something, but nothing came out. Occupying his position and nourishing his body, although Zhang Hanqing was young, he developed an aura of calmness and self-reliance during his many years of political and military career. He only said it casually, but there was an unquestionable decisiveness. The eunuch was about to say something else, but at this moment he and Yu Yifan happily stepped into the doorway hand in hand.
As a lowly eunuch, without his masculinity, he would lose his masculinity and courage. Thinking of the young marshal's family status, the two of them wisely stopped mentioning it, and just trotted away to express that they had never seen such "violating the rules".
With the excitement of dominating the world, Zhang Hanqing strode forward, forcing Yu Yifan to gasp a few times. Imperial Palace Ouchi, here I come! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 638 You have to listen to me

At this time, the guards took over the defense one after another. In the early morning of winter, a group of eunuchs and modern soldiers put together an image to show the outside world this nondescript scene. Among the wretched figures of the eunuchs, the tall bodies of the guards looked particularly tall and straight.
After passing through the three main halls of Baohe, Zhonghe and Taihe, you enter the Qianqing Gate, which is the symbol of the inner and outer palaces. Ahead is the Qianqing Palace, and on the left and right are some buildings such as Cining Palace, Shou'an Palace, Yangxin Palace, Yuqing Palace, and the East and West Sixth Palace. It is not clear for a while. I just feel that there are many mountains and many doors, which are much larger than the Qiao Family Courtyard in later generations.
Puyi, the second emperor of the Qing Dynasty, met with Zhang Hanqing in Yangxin Hall.
Before the meeting, he hesitated a lot: in what capacity would Zhang Hanqing greet him, and how would he show off his imperial demeanor? Several of his imperial masters also rehearsed. How to be neither arrogant nor arrogant but still show tenderness is the keynote of Puyi this time.
With the reputation of the young marshal, when he stamps his feet, most of China will tremble. As one of the most sought-after powerful men in Beijing, the emperor had few cards to play as the high-ranking officials and dignitaries fawned over him one after another. Fortunately, Zhang Zuolin's "feeling" for the royal family is there. If he can be successfully won over, the political plan conceived before can be expected immediately.
This is their second meeting. Back then, Zhang Hanqing used a passionate young man to criticize the deposed emperor, but now, he is really trying to protect the safety of the little emperor.
Puyi was dressed in formal attire, and his identity as an emperor and nobleman was clearly visible. On both sides of him, there were several old men sitting upright, looking at the group of people who were getting closer and closer. They were either stroking their beards like hermits, or like old monks in meditation, watching how Zhang Hanqing fired the gun.
Zhang Hanqing was dressed in military uniform and looked particularly energetic. Yu Yifan was wearing a fox fur jacket and a small jacket, looking forward and smiling to himself. The two of them held hands and looked around on the road. When they encountered some scenery, they pointed at it. It was really as if they were guests in the Forbidden City, which was extremely disrespectful. However, considering that they were all foreigners, coming to the capital of the emperor would inevitably be like a frog in a well with a wide-open view, so all the elders selectively ignored this.
With their eyes facing each other, Zhang Hanqing was calm and relaxed, but Pu Yi was a little unsteady. Alas, not everyone in the body of an emperor is like a bastard who bursts into blood and splatters thousands of miles. At least Zhang Hanqing could read the word "virtual" from his eyes.
Puyi "invited" him to come, but put on such a posture, which made Zhang Hanqing dumbfounded: You are a down-and-out emperor, how long have you been, and you still have to put on such a posture? It's really a donkey's fight. He smiled and said, "Hello, I'm sincerely invited. Xueliang is here to be a guest today. Sorry to bother you."
“I’m not very familiar with him, so it’s not easy to call him that name. "Your Majesty" right? No, Puyi was a descendant of the emperor. In theory, he was no different from a commoner. Besides, as a time traveler, he had enough psychological endurance to face the emperor calmly.
Just a down-and-out second-generation Quan!
Zhang Hanqing called "you" but not "Your Majesty", which made Puyi not know how to communicate. Wasn't there such a contingency in the rehearsal? "Should I get up and greet him, as Master Johnston said, greet him like a foreigner?"
However, a gray-haired old man nearby shouted loudly: "You are so unreasonable. You know that you are the emperor, but you still dare to speak in such a tone!"
Looking at his gray beard and hair, Zhang Hanqing, in line with the tradition of respecting the elderly, thought for a while but still refrained from using the foul language: "This is the era of the Republic of China. As far as I know, Xuantong, the last emperor of the previous dynasty, abdicated in the first year of the Republic of China. I don't Do you know where the emperor mentioned by the old gentleman comes from?!"
The old man was very angry. His lips were trembling but he could not refute. He could only say angrily: "People's hearts are not ancient, people's hearts are not ancient!" You can play whatever you want, but you can't stand Zhang Hanqing's refusal to do this.
Seeing that the old man was very angry, Pu Yi quickly comforted him and said, "Teacher, calm down first. The young marshal is right. I, the emperor, am no longer the emperor he used to be." He looked around and said, "Come here, give me The young marshal will give you a seat."
It is a rare honor to be given a seat by you, but what makes people unhappy is that there is only one stool. For Zhang Hanqing, who came from a later generation, he would not be able to accept being in such "social" places with Yu Yifan if he did not show respect for girls.
He said with a smile: "The royal family is as rich as the country, but they can't even get an extra stool. You must check carefully when you go back. The country gave the royal family preferential treatment of 4 million yuan a year. Where did it go!"
His words were soft yet strong, which made Puyi and others change their expressions. With Zhang Hanqing's power, if he really wanted to do this, no one could stop him. Life and death depended on his thoughts, which filled everyone in the hall with sadness.
Although Puyi is "laid off", there are many loyal and courageous people around him. Like this old man with white hair and beard, he is 75 years old, and he still works tirelessly to teach PuyiHis dream is to truly become a civilian and seek development as an ordinary citizen. Otherwise, there is no need to come back to Lu Zhonglin. This is me, and I want to drive you out of the palace! Let you taste the suffering of the people for yourself, maybe this can transform you. "
??????????Isn’t it true that the Communists transformed Puyi in later generations? show off!
Puyi’s face was earthy. Zhang Hanqing's rage made him realize what the true "emperor's wrath" is. He nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, I am a civilian now, and I will reform myself." In desperation, he stopped saying "I".
As for what the transformation means, I can’t control that much. It’s not a bad thing to agree first.
Seeing that the boy can be taught, Zhang Hanqing was somewhat satisfied. The former king of a country was trained like a grandson by him, and he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart: "Are you willing to go to Nankai University to study? Study hard, throw away all your past things, and truly become a commoner." If you don't want to go to Nankai, I suggest you study abroad. You have to listen to me!"
"You have to listen to me" is what adults often say when teaching children. However, considering that the other person is a former emperor, such a tone makes people feel speechless. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Yu Yifan couldn't help but laugh. My uncle was so funny, and he was the only one who dared to treat the former emperor like a child. But he was so brave, why was he always indifferent to some of her expressions?
But Zhang Hanqing said this with great confidence. Not only does he now control Puyi's political lifeline, he also controls his economic lifeline: Puyi's royal properties in the Northeast were sold off by the Zhang Zuolin government for economic development. Now that conditions have improved, those assets The government took half of it, and Zhang Hanqing gave him the other half.
"You have to listen to me." Only a young marshal who is fearless in heaven and earth dares to say this to him!
But as the saying goes, "loyalty is hard on the ears". After Puyi abdicated, he lived in the Forbidden City, where he came into contact with almost all the elders of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and what was instilled in him were all feudal principles, making him dream of restoring the Qing Dynasty and regaining the throne all day long. , more than ten years of "education" can be said to be deeply ingrained, how can it be transformed so easily?
So Puyi’s submissiveness was just a response to not daring to offend Zhang Hanqing, but it didn’t mean that he really changed his mind. Thinking about it, with Zhang Hanqing's current status, he would not be easily tempted without enough bait.
If we can’t agree on political matters, we just talk about romance. Listening to Zhang Hanqing's unhelpful remarks, Yu Yifan couldn't bear it at first. She said to Zhang Hanqing, "Uncle, it's rare for me to come to the palace to play. I want to walk around and take a look."
“Well, that’s no problem. Pu Yi immediately called several eunuchs: "Accompany this girl for a walk and take good care of her."
"It's really boring to chat with Puyi, the late emperor: not only is his knowledge pitiful, but the key is that he acts like a wolf with a big tail, showing some incomprehensible superiority from time to time.
There was no language to communicate with the other elders. They believed in silence before the emperor and did not interrupt at all when Puyi was speaking. This made Zhang Hanqing, who was used to others sharing their wisdom and suggestions, very uncomfortable, and there was no atmosphere for chatting at all. !
Fortunately, Puyi knew a lot about the Manchu and Qing Dynasty stories, especially the past events of the previous dynasty, which greatly satisfied Zhang Hanqing's digging addiction. These things that do not appear in "The First Half of My Life" at all are particularly vivid when told by his client - Puyi is really a storyteller. In the future, he will not be an emperor but a storyteller. With " The gimmick of "Two or Three Things in the Past Dynasty" can also make a good living. If you find an interested publisher, write "Those Things About the Qing Dynasty" and it will become an instant hit.
???????????????????????? But if you talk about intimate topics while basking in the sun, it’s quite pleasant. But in the morning of early winter, sitting for a long time in this relatively empty hall is not so pleasant. Zhang Hanqing rubbed his hands and asked awkwardly: "Is there a toilet here?"
It was not easy for ministers in ancient times to meet the emperor: they had to rush to the court in the dark, and they also had to be on guard against the possibility that the emperor's court meeting would take a long time and cause problems with urination and defecation. Because unless the emperor signals that the question and answer is completed, he cannot ask for permission to withdraw without authorization. At this time, he has to endure his bladder.
Of course, for some ministers who are favorites, are old and virtuous, can go to the palace with swords and shoes, and pay tribute to unknown people, they can tell the emperor that "I want to change my clothes because I am unwell", and the emperor will give permission, and then it can be done I asked for leave and left early to go to the toilet.
In addition, there are a few ministers who are actually in power, such as Wang Mang, Cao Cao, and Sima Zhao. They can do whatever they want, and the emperor has no control over them. For example, after Sima Zhao resolved the three rebellions in Huainan, even if he defecated in public in the court, Cao Huan could only tell him, "Jin Gong has worked hard and made great achievements. If he is unwell, he should go back and raise him."
Zhang Hanqing is such an example. He controls heaven and earth, but he can't control shit and farts, let alone the emperor, who can't control him? It's just that others would not say this directly about such a disgraceful act before the king.
Under the twinkling gazes of the elders, Zhang Hanqing went to the back hall to pay his respects with a clear conscience under the guidance of the two eunuchs arranged by Emperor Puyi. Since we are in the inner court, we will inevitably have to pass through some sensitive areas.
Although the relationship between men and women has been greatly changed during the Republic of China, it was still the same in the palace. Suddenly seeing a real man in this place that has always been heavily guarded, everyone felt surprised and inexplicable.
The maids all knew that the emperor was going to entertain a young marshal from the Northeast today, and everyone was full of curiosity. Except for the emperor's wedding, where there was a sedan chair and several heavily armed military police, they hadn't seen a man in many years. I have always heard that this young marshal from the birthplace of the Manchu Dragon Vein was one of the four most beautiful men in the Republic of China. I never expected that meeting him would be better than being famous.
But no one would have thought that this young marshal would later be the one who dug up the ancestral graves of the Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Hanqing went to the toilet as an excuse. No matter how much he asked, he was embarrassed to say that it was too cold and I wanted to go out and do some activities.Move your muscles. Wandering around in a harem where women and half-men live, it's a satisfying feeling. In later generations, you can spend hundreds of dollars to see the scenery in the Forbidden City, but the building is dead. How can any living person inside be able to see the true cultural heritage?
It was only at this time that he completely let go of his usual disguise and became no longer determined, mighty and wise, but just a normal man who was curious.
However, in the now declining Ouchi, there are not so many seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards and three thousand beauties in the harem. There are only a few palace maids in the past, and only a few of them can be called middle-aged. No wonder Emperor Puyi couldn't be humane. He looked at so many uninteresting faces every day and just thought about it.
It is not easy to find a place to urinate and defecate in the palace, because many places are not for the emperor but for the servants who work in the palace. In the past, the toilets in the palace were not the toilets, pits, and urinals of today. They were usually a small single room with a toilet and a cover. Put clean straw ash in the bucket, cover it with a layer of straw ash after taking it out, and you're done. It's clean and environmentally friendly.
Of course, the eunuchs need to clean it in time, and because the palace toilets are all on the east corner, going out of court is also called "Dengdong".
Zhang Hanqing was a distinguished guest of the emperor, and his treatment was different. Therefore, the two eunuchs specially took him to a far away but still clean corner, allowing Zhang Hanqing to experience the "toilet culture" of the palace.
There is a joke that tells the story of the emperor and the empress coming out of court, which reflects their unique dignity in every aspect: the simple actions of urinating and taking off their pants are said by the eunuchs to "take off the dragon robe and take out the dragon seed." , high mountains and flowing water, shaking the faucet, one shake, two shakes, three shakes", and then "Putting dragon seeds, compound dragon pants." For the queen, naturally it is "showing the phoenix eyes, beating the bananas in the rain, pinching the phoenix eyes, one pinch, two Clamp, triple clamp, and finally restore the phoenix robe."
Although Zhang Hanqing was not born into a noble family, he has become the de facto emperor of China through hard work. He took out the dragon seed with great care and sprinkled a precious drop in the palace. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

After cleaning his hands, Zhang Hanqing had no intention of returning to Yangxin Hall to face a group of old people and an immature "captive person". In line with the principle of free sightseeing and free tour guides, he was interested. He asked the two companions angrily: "People say Jinluan Palace, Jinluan Palace, there are so many palaces in the palace, which one is this palace?"
The eunuchs pointed behind them and showed off in unison: "When we talk about the Jinluan Hall, we are referring to the Taihe Hall."
Zhang Hanqing smiled: "We are already in the inner third hall now, right?"
The eunuchs all said in unison: "Yes, the place where the Young Marshal lives is not far from Yuqing Palace. Going forward from here is the Kunning Palace, the Queen's dormitory. Across the Wentai Palace to the south is the It is the Qianqing Palace where Long Live Lord often stays, and these three palaces are the inner three palaces."
The queen’s palace is here! After asking for a long time, this is what Zhang Hanqing was thinking. How is the radiant Wanrong Queen doing now when she got married? Fortunately, he attended this grand wedding as a guest, and he could not forget the beauty of the daughter of the Daur nobleman.
Beautiful women have become rare, but they are common to him; elegant women are rare in this era, but there are many of the best and most elegant women in the Republic of China around him; he has also seen a few women with family backgrounds. However, it is rare to find someone like Wanrong who combines beauty, temperament, and family background.
"The Northeast country bumpkin has no chance of dating such a woman before or after time travel, even though he has hundreds of years of experience. He has basically achieved the goal of waking up and taking charge of the world; lying drunk in the lap of a beautiful woman is still not close to being successful. At least, not being able to conquer such a beauty, the last queen of China, is not psychologically satisfying and cannot be considered the pinnacle of life.
You must know that being an emperor and the feeling of being an emperor are not the same thing after all. Otherwise, Yuan Shikai would not risk the disapproval of the world and insist on becoming an emperor, although there are analysis of this or that in the history books.
"I have no chance to be an emperor in this life, so even if I sleep with the queen, it will be nothing." Thinking of this, he looked deeply at Kunning Palace again, speechless.
A sudden crack of a whip woke up Zhang Hanqing from his lustful state. I saw scattered old and young people on the roadside hurriedly leaving the main road. The palace ladies bowed their heads on both sides of the palace road, and the eunuchs turned their backs. He didn't know what he meant when the two eunuchs following him touched his hands and said softly: "Lower your head, the queen is here!"
As the saying goes, Zhang Hanqing is not that particular about bringing pillows when he is dozing off. He will not bow his head stupidly. Not only that, he also stared straight at the end of the palace road, hoping that the person he had been talking about would appear soon.
In the distance, a bicycle came into his sight, with several people trotting behind it. Hey, isn't this Wanrong? She also learned to ride a bike!
You know how rare bicycles were in those days? Being able to own one is no less akin to the modern feeling of owning a Rolls-Royce. Even outside the customs, where the economy is ten times better than inside the customs, even if the "Phoenix" bicycle brand created by Zhang Hanqing has flourished in recent years, it is still a dream for households in Northeastern cities to have one bicycle per capita.
With the improvement of industrial capacity, "Phoenix" bicycles can not only meet the demand outside the customs, but also sell well in Beijing, Tianjin, Tang, Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan, becoming a must-have for the middle and upper classes. However, in terms of purchasing power, ordinary people in the pass have difficulty even solving the problem of food and clothing. Only people in the palace can use such "luxury" things. After all, their conditions are no better than ordinary people.
“But for women to ride bicycles, especially Wanrong, who is as noble as a queen, is a pioneer in the trend and a modern pioneer in the aristocratic world. Looking at her graceful and graceful figure, she is very charming, so the royal family is not without discernment: when she was selected as a concubine, Wanrong, who was already 17 years old, was famous among the aristocracy because she not only had a dignified and beautiful appearance, fresh and refined, but also knew everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. After hearing about Xia Yu, she was directly designated as the queen by Pu Yi.
This can be traced back to Wanrong’s father, Minister of the Interior Guo Bulo Rongyuan. He was an enlightened person who always advocated equality between men and women and that girls should receive the same education as boys. In addition to hiring a tutor for his daughter to teach her reading, calligraphy, playing the piano and painting, he also specially hired an English teacher for her to learn English.
As a young lady from a Daur aristocratic family, her affluent living environment, prominent family status, national culture and traditional cultural education have undoubtedly had a profound impact on her.
Because she received traditional education, her words and deeds are very traditional, and she has the traditional moral cultivation of Chinese women. Therefore, in addition to her beautiful appearance, she also has the advantages of being elegant in conversation, dignified in behavior, extraordinary in appearance, strong on the inside and soft on the outside. Although Zhang Hanqing only saw him in shock the year before last, he felt deeply about it.
? ?There was no dust at all, and it didn't even touch the ground. Zhang Hanqing was very happy and said to Wanrong with a bright smile: "Is your wife hurt? When riding a bicycle, balance is very important."
Seeing that he, as the culprit this time, was still making sarcastic remarks here, Zhang Hanqing didn't know whether there were thousands of grass and mud horses galloping past Wanrong's heart. But when he accidentally saw Wanrong rolling her eyes at him with a sullen look on her face, he knew that he could successfully strike up a conversation with her.
A nun who arrived first saw Zhang Hanqing next to the queen and was shocked. This was a big deal! She raised her eyebrows coldly and shouted: "Who are you? You broke into the palace without permission! Come on, get him!"
Fortunately, the two eunuchs said no in time: "Don't dare! This is a distinguished guest invited by the emperor. How many heads do you have!"
“You’re just kidding, the young marshal whom the emperor respects so much is the one you can take at your request!” I'm just afraid that the person on the front foot will be captured, and a large number of people on the back foot will fall to the ground, even the emperor will not be able to leave behind!
"Perhaps these old ladies are old and have poor eyesight: How can an outsider like the Young Marshal easily enter the Forbidden City if he does not have a background like Tongtian!"
Amid the unanimous objections from the eunuchs, Wanrong raised her head again and looked at the young man in front of her with concern. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Zhang Zuolin was at his most proud at the end of 1923. He was even more excited than when he and the Feng Dynasty took control of Beijing. Nothing else - he could re-integrate the three Beiyang factions into one after Yuan Shikai and have the opportunity to end it. With the North and South divided, there is hope for reunification of China.
This fact of meritorious service has enabled Zhang Zuolin, a former bandit, to gain enthusiastic attention from political observers at home and abroad, and his political identity has been greatly elevated. Also in this year, Powell, the editor-in-chief of Miller Review, interviewed Zhang Zuolin. When asked where he had studied, Zhang humorously replied: "Green Forest School."
The north had just stabilized, and taking advantage of the temporary peace between the Kuomintang and the People's Party, Zhang Hanqing pointed his sword at Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, intending to pacify the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the most developed area outside the Northeast. Qi Xieyuan, the governor stationed in Jiangsu, was originally named Qi Ying, with the courtesy name Fuwan and the nickname Yaoshan. He was a native of Ninghe, Tianjin, China, and one of the main generals of the Zhili warlords.
He was admitted as a scholar during the Guangxu period, and later joined the army. He was admitted to the Baoding Army Officer School, and went to Japan to study after graduation. After returning to China, he served as the staff officer of the Sixth Town of the Qing Dynasty Army. After the Republic of China, he was promoted to the brigade commander of the 12th Brigade of the Sixth Army Division.
This person seems to be a "broom star". Anyone who is his direct boss will soon have trouble. His promotion path was filled with too many accidents: in 1916, while attacking the National Defense Army in western Hunan, Qi was promoted to commander of the Sixth Division because his division commander Zhou Wenbing suddenly suffered from "mental illness".
In 1917, when Li Chun was appointed governor of Jiangsu, Qi led the Sixth Division to Jiangsu and served as the garrison envoy of Jiangning. In 1920, Li Chun "died violently", and Qi Xieyuan successfully took over as the governor of Jiangsu.
Anyway, as long as it is the blockbuster on the road of Qi Yiyuan's promotion, it is unknown. This is the fact
The cause of Li Chun's violent death was said in official circles to be the agitation against the corruption of Jiangsu Minister of Finance Wen He (Li Chun's son). The newspapers published numerous articles insinuating that he had appointed inhumane people and brought disaster to the whole province. Li Chun gradually became pessimistic and desperate and in 1920 He died suddenly in the Governor's Office at the age of 46.
Qi Xieyuan held a grand funeral for Li Chun. The grand occasion could be said to be unprecedented in Jiangsu Province, but this did not stop people from spreading the true cause of Li Chun's death.
Because there were many doubts about the case, the official announced that Li Chun committed suicide because he was "concerned about the country and the people." Later, it was rumored that Li Concubine had an affair with Ma Bian. After Li Chun was discovered, Ma Bian shot Li Chun to death; there is also a legend that his division commander Qi Xieyuan He was ruthless, cunning and changeable. He sometimes wanted to seize the throne of Li and replace him, so he murdered him, and so on.
No matter what, Qi Xieyuan has been in the position of military governor for more than three years. Relying on Suhu's rich financial conditions, he has become famous. Originally, in official history, he first launched the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War to threaten Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang under the Anhui clique, in his "move to Shanghai to formulate the constitution" movement. However, in this time and space, due to the severe weakening of the Zhili clique's power, not only did they not dare to fight for Zhejiang, they also made every effort to preserve the Zhili clique's financial resources in Jiangsu in order to make a comeback.
However, facing the superior People's Army, his strength still seemed too weak: the only combat-effective armies were the Sixth Division that he started, and the 19th Central Division that was later added. In addition, there were tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers harvested from Jiangsu and Zhejiang servants Zhu Rui, who were pieced together into the Jiangsu 1st, 2nd, and 3rd divisions and the Jiangsu 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th divisions. , 6 and five mixed brigades.
Calculating the establishment, it is quite large: five divisions and five brigades, but the number is only 43,500. When it comes to combat effectiveness, alas, forget it. He initially wanted to use the Yangtze River as the boundary and rule across the river, but he did not have the navy to defend it. Later, he wanted to leave Jiangsu and retreat to Shanghai to protect himself. Before he could negotiate with the Fengxi faction, the People's Army had arrived. .
"Today, natural disasters are prevalent, and hungry people are everywhere. I have tried to say that it is impossible to fight against Su, and I have the strength to give a peaceful answer. However, the ink is not dry, and the war order has been issued. At the same time, I am trying to cross the river to control it and stop traffic. What is the result? ? He has been Wu Peifu’s puppet in recent years, causing public resentment"
This is a battle message issued by Zhang Zuolin, which directly made the reason for the crusade against Qi Xieyuan very clear: "Just because you are Wu Peifu's people"
Time waits for no one. After the defeat of the Northern Direct Army, Jing Youyan's elite 28th Division was transferred from the Beijing garrison as the vanguard. The new 22nd Division Huang Shiyue followed, passing through Jinpu Line from Shandong to Xuzhou to attack the northern Jiangsu line; Tong Linge of the 1st Division of the Central China People's Army The 12th Division and Zhang Zizhong's Division marched eastward from Ma'anshan to Nanjing; the elite 4th Division, led by the new division commander Zhang Weixi, marched south from Chuzhou to Pukou.
Originally, the "tripartite anti-straightforward" plan was for Zhejiang Governor Lu Yongxiang to advance from Huzhou to Suzhou, making Qi Xieyuan unable to take care of both ends. However, Lu Yongxiang changed his mind at the last moment.
That was a trick played by Qi Xieyuan. He sent someone to tell Lu Yongxiang: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold." If he is finally defeated by the People's Army, the Fengtian clique will not tolerate a non-direct clique remaining in East China.If the province is there, we will definitely attack him in the future. The best way is to bring peace to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The sudden collapse of his biggest enemy Zhili made Lu Yongxiang, who was originally ready to attack Jiangsu, also believe that defeating Qi Xieyuan would be detrimental to him: without Qi Xieyuan to confront him head-on, he would have to face the pressure of the People's Army. He hastily signed the "Peace Convention between Jiangsu and Zhejiang" with Qi Xieyuan, and used this as a basis to express his desire for peace between the two provinces to Duan Qirui, which won the praise of Duan in power.
“ In total, Zhejiang is the only territory where the Anhui clique exists, and it is also the biggest reliance on the Anhui clique’s revival. Duan Qirui, who has been in the political arena his whole life and is good at strategy, certainly understands Lu Yongxiang’s thoughts.
“But for the People’s Army that was ready to go, Lu Yongxiang’s non-participation could only slightly delay the progress of the People’s Army, but it could not stop the advance of Jiangsu. Without the butcher Hu, we can’t eat plucked pigs?
Led by Zhang Weixi, who was good at attacking, the elite 4th Division fought at Pukou, Nanjing, and almost wiped out the 6th Division on which Qi Xieyuan relied. With the fall of Pukou, the People's Army could easily mobilize troops from North China to the Yangtze River port, thus exposing the city of Nanjing to direct attacks by the People's Army. And its garrison in Ma'anshan surrendered under the charge of the People's Army.
Three local divisions surrendered collectively, and nearly 20,000 people basically did not fire a single bomb. So much so that Qi Xieyuan cursed: "Just raising 20,000 pigs can still be of some use during the holidays!"
But it was useless, Qi Xieyuan could only look for teeth all over the ground.
This battle against Qi’s one division and a small number of local armed forces used five divisions of the People’s Army and more than 150,000 people, as well as the elite 4th and 28th divisions. However, Zhang Hanqing's intention was to take advantage of the People's Army's great victories everywhere to capture Shanghai, control Zhejiang, and end the separatist situation in East China.
While the fierce battle of the Fourth Division was in full swing, Zhang Hanqing had ordered Jiang Baili to prepare for the establishment of the East China People's Army Headquarters and temporarily manage the Yangtze River Fleet on behalf of the Naval Headquarters.

Chapter 648 Taking over Shanghai (Part 1)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The takeover of Shanghai was marked by the establishment of the Shanghai Municipal Party Headquarters of the People's Party and the opportunity of the peaceful handover of He Fenglin to the People's Army.
There is absolutely no way to get to this point. Lu Yongxiang originally wanted to bargain with Zhang Hanqing, even if he kept half of Shanghai. But the situation was unforgiving, because there was another moth behind his back.
Behind Zhejiang is Sun Chuanfang of Fujian. As an embellishment of the Zhili-Fengtian War, he teamed up with Qi Xieyuan to attack Lu Yongxiang during the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War, but they hit a wall at Xianxia Pass.
Xianxia Pass, known as "the key to Zhejiang and the throat to Fujian", has always been a battleground for military strategists. Together with Jianmen Pass, Hangu Pass and Yanmen Pass, it is also known as the four ancient passes in China. Lu Yongxiang relied on it for his courage to calmly participate in the "tripartite anti-straight movement" to compete with Jiangsu's Qi Xieyuan even when Sun Chuanfang was eyeing him.
But all this was ruined by a group leader with personal grudges.
Zhang Guowei, then commander of the artillery regiment of the Second Division of Zhejiang, and Sun Chuanfang were classmates at the Japanese Army Noncommissioned Officer School, and the two had a good personal relationship. Zhang Guowei originally served concurrently as the director of the Zhejiang Bureau of Surveying. However, Lu Yongxiang was dissatisfied because he wanted to employ his cronies and dismissed him from this part-time job. When he was ordered to guard Xianxia Ridge, he privately presented the defense plan to Sun Chuanfang so that he could enter the pass smoothly.
As soon as Xianxia was lost, Sun Chuanfang drove straight to Quzhou, Jinhua, Yiwu, and Zhuji without any obstacles along the way. Lu Yongxiang hurriedly waved his troops back to defend. How could he dare to provoke the People's Army again? Not only that, he ordered He Fenglin, the Songhu military envoy, to let the People's Army march into Shanghai and let him take people back to the provincial capital of Hangzhou to stabilize his family without causing trouble.
Because there is an ambitious Zhejiang Police Chief Xia Chao.
Xia Chao has 10,800 well-equipped armed policemen under his command. Although he is a dwarf less than four feet tall, he is ambitious and always has the ambition to replace Lu. It was well hidden in the beginning, but now there are wolves in front of the Zhejiang Army and tigers in the back. There are loud calls from the central and local governments for Lu Yongxiang to step down, and his heart is beginning to swell.
The rear area is already in chaos, and the provincial capital can no longer be in chaos. It is a good idea to let the old subordinate He Fenglin be based in Hangzhou: anyway, according to the style of the People's Army, if you control a place, you will redeploy your own armed police force. He Fenglin gave up Shanghai, which not only stabilized his family, but also showed his goodwill to the Feng clan. They wouldn't be aggressive anymore, right?
Therefore, the entry of the People's Army into Shanghai has basically eliminated military interference factors and political influence: the leading figures in Shanghai invite the People's Army to enter, wouldn't this work?
In order to make the transition smooth and avoid trouble, He Fenglin was also ordered to take the initiative to appeal to all walks of life in Shanghai, asking them to abide by the law and obey the arrangements and management of the People's Army.
????????????? In fact, there is no need for him to do anything extra. Capital is the most sensitive to changes in the country. As early as when the People's Army occupied Anhui, many business leaders in Shanghai had lost their loyalty to the People's Party. When the war came to Shanghai, the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, the most influential organization in Shanghai's financial and economic circles, immediately organized a large-scale condolence.
It can be said that although the People's Army did not enter Shanghai at that time, its tentacles had already extended into every corner of Shanghai.
In view of Shanghai’s financial and economic status in China, Zhang Hanqing appointed Liu Shangqing, an important figure in the Feng faction, to serve as Shanghai Municipal Party Committee Secretary. Liu Shangqing once served as the governor of Jilin, and he was also familiar with administration. As for his position as chairman of the Industrial and Commercial Committee, Wang Naibin, who is also a master in the financial industry, was arranged to take over.
The particularity of Shanghai also makes Liu Shangqing walk on thin ice. This 55-year-old veteran of the Feng Clan always stands in the forefront of political and economic needs to help the Feng Clan, and this time is no exception.
Strictly speaking, even though Shanghai is known as the financial center of Asia and the "adventurer's paradise," its current status on the national economic map is not as good as Shenyang, Harbin, or even Changchun. The three provinces of Gaidong have a solid industrial foundation. They have lost a lot in terms of gross national product (there was no such thing in this era) and total industrial output.
??Every party values ??its role because of its influence, especially on foreigners.
Having strength means being confident. If those people in Shanghai are sincere, they can certainly be the icing on the cake; if they are obedient to the new people's power, the Fengcun is fully confident and capable of reshaping a new Shanghai without them, which is nothing more than throwing money!
Zhang Hanqing planned to mobilize a large number of 10,000 armed police forces loyal to the People's Party from Jilin, Hubei, and Shaanxi to form the Shanghai Armed Police Corps, and sent Zhang Tingshu, commander of the 54th Brigade of the 27th Division who grew up in the war, as the major general captain.
Zhang Tingshu is Zhang Zuoxiang's nephew, Zhang Hanqing's best friend, and a fierce general. He was originally wanted to take over the position of commander of the 27th Division selected by Jiang Deng, but he was young and not qualified enough. There were many efforts to get him to be the brigade commander. of.
? ???When so many high-level positions are suddenly vacant, it makes no sense not to involve our own people. Anyway, everyone has suddenly become the king of the center from being "separated in one place", so we always have to mention our own people, right?
“After serving as the commander of the Shanghai Armed Police Force for a period of time, and then taking the opportunity to concurrently serve as the Commander of the Armed Police Force in East China, his level will be raised. After he returns to the 27th Division, there will definitely be fewer people gossiping. Today's armed police commanders at all levels are transferred from the military, and the commander-in-chief of each province is at the level of major general. Although the military and police are separated, this only refers to responsibilities, and the transfer of personnel is still very frequent.
Because Zhang Zuoxiang, who is also the commander-in-chief of the Armed Police Force, cannot manage the affairs of so many provinces, the specific affairs of the armed police forces in each province are generally managed by the commanders of the local People's Army. For example, Ji Yiqiao, the commander of the Central China People's Army, is in charge of the three provinces of Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangxi. The Armed Police Force, etc.
Shanghai implemented military control. In this way, the Shanghai Garrison, the Armed Police Corps and Liu Shangqing, as the core of the "Military Control Committee", began to exert influence on the city on behalf of the People's Party.
The Central Financial and Economic Commission sent Zhang Zhenjiu as Zhang Hanqing’s personal representative to Shanghai in advance, and invited leading figures such as Yu Qiaqing, Wang Yiting, and Wu Yunzhai to assume key positions in the newly established Shanghai Finance Commission.
??The national capitalists who were once common people and struggled in the cracks of collusion between government and businessmen finally raised their eyebrows and began to gain considerable political status. This is a huge progress and marks the People's Party's supportive attitude towards national capital.
To reciprocate the favor, Yu Qiaqing also called the "National Unification Committee" in the name of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, saying that he was "willing to support the authorities' claims and a unanimous vote," and actively expressed his intention to subscribe for national bonds with a total value of 130 million yuan—— This is also Zhang Hanqing's test of the various forces in Shanghai.
The Feng Faction is really not short of this little money. What is missing is the good response from all walks of life to the People's Army entering Shanghai. If a group of people can show their sincerity at the beginning of taking office, it will set a good example for all walks of life in the government and the opposition, as well as for those who are watching. This means that the People's Party's regime has been recognized.
Of course, although the money is a little less, it is still better than nothing, and we cannot look at these national capitalists with the mentality of nouveau riche. Many people really started their businesses in hardships.
Zhang Hanqing, who is far away in Beijing, spoke highly of this move. He said in a telegram: "The members of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce are the leaders of China's national bourgeoisie and an important supplement to the economic development of the Republic of China. The central government will continue as always. Properly support the development of national industries and provide political guarantee for their growth."
The People's Party politically affirmed the contribution and legal status of the "Jiang-Zhejiang Consortium" and also gave Shanghai's wavering financial and economic circles a shot in the arm, allowing them to quickly recognize the situation and move closer to the People's Party.
During this period, the People's Party still focused on conquering cities and territories as its primary task. In all provinces controlled by the Feng clique, the secretary of the provincial party committee must be a member of the People's Party. However, in terms of specific governance and administration, the party should open up its channels and appoint people on the basis of merit, and many people from outside the party join the party.
First, the People's Party has risen too fast and there are not enough capable figures who can get the support of the local industrial and commercial circles; second, Zhang Hanqing needs to form a broad united front to achieve national reunification. Even if people outside the party first serve as governors, mayors and other positions, as long as they can stabilize the political situation, and more importantly, as long as the army is in the hands of the People's Party, Zhang Hanqing believes that there will be time to gradually improve it.
good results.
Shanghai is the traditional source of votes for the Kuomintang and the economic base on which it depends for its survival. Seeing some of the original sponsors change their ways, his heart was shaken even more. Hu Hanmin, a veteran Kuomintang general and rightist who stayed in Shanghai, was quite uneasy. He had an instinctive fear of the People's Army capturing Shanghai:
Economically, Shanghai's financial circles are showing disloyalty to the central government controlled by the People's Party; politically, Sun Yat-sen, as the Prime Minister of the Kuomintang, is rumored to give up the easy-to-get presidential position, and is willing to do railway construction with "no power or responsibility" The chairman of the committee will bring the development of the Kuomintang to a screeching halt;
Militarily, the People's Party has the most powerful armed forces in China and has completely controlled the situation. However, the original National Revolutionary Base in Guangzhou has been captured by the People's Army. Now Shanghai, an important economic town, has also been lost. In terms of military, politics and economy, it can be said that The Kuomintang has no room for maneuver.
Under this circumstance, the "legendary love" and "China (Chiang Zhongzheng) and the United States (Song Meiling) cooperation" that occurred in official history naturally had no ripples, and they even had no chance of contact at all. In this time and space, Chiang Kai-shek's political backing has been lost, and the future is difficult to predict. Soong Meiling would never marry this politically frustrated man and a military husband of the Republic of China - Colonel Chiang Kai-shek.
The military occupation and the defection of economic giants marked the People's Army's complete victory in Shanghai, China's largest city. At this point, the last remaining power of the Zhili Clan has been eliminated, and the People's Party has controlled most of China, including all economically wealthy provinces.
At the same time, the top leaders of the People's Party in the north, headed by Zhang Hanqing, are already planning to set up a diplomatic research committee to study steps to abolish unequal treaties and plan to declare tariff independence.
In December, the national seal was enacted and a smoking ban was implemented. Zhang Hanqing went on a tour of Beijing, Tianjin, and Reich to review the military, and inspect local politics, religion, and people's livelihood.
When the trend of China's reunification was approaching, the United States took the lead in recognizing China's tariff independence. All diplomatic countries agreed, and only Japan was extremely opposed. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Some regions include all economically wealthy provinces.

Chapter 650 The meek gangster
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
It is very convenient to walk to Shanghai along the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, and the main force of the People's Army entered China's largest city tepidly.
There were no flowers or applause, which was in sharp contrast to the excitement and support in other places liberated by the People's Army. On the way, the People's Army felt that it was necessary to attack Shanghai Yi and defend the shipwreck.
Seeing that you are used to the various military valves, you will sing. For the people's army, most Shanghai citizens only emit a "oh" in their hearts, and then continue to run for a day of life.
Does it matter who comes? The concession is still prosperous and prosperous, but it is still difficult for ordinary people to make a living. In addition to paying a high industrial and commercial tax when doing business, it is still inevitable to be ripped off by some Taibao Afei.
At this time, the most famous gang in Shanghai was the Qinggang. They commit arms smuggling, drug trafficking, gambling, robbery, human trafficking, armed escort, extortion and kidnapping, and land grabs. As for fights, they are commonplace.
“But in this abnormal environment, only this kind of gangster can take advantage of it. They rely on various methods, have more or less private transactions with foreign forces, and control all activities in Shanghai. The People's Army does not have as many troops as others, can it withstand the situation?
Chen Duxiu once wrote about Shanghai gangs: "Who is the most powerful person in Shanghai society? On the surface, it goes without saying that political and economic power is in the hands of Westerners, but this is not the case underneath the society. Most factory workers , all porters, most patrolmen, all inquisitors, this group of highly active citizens are under the control of the Youth Gang."
"Their organization, no other group in Shanghai is bigger than them, and their old man's orders are more effective than the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau. They have done a lot of evil, and it can be said that the order and tranquility of Shanghai are in their hands."
Just last year, they even beat up Governor Lu’s son, but he was fine in the end, wasn’t he?
For Shanghai, due to the abnormal prosperity of the underworld created by various concessions, it has unique characteristics in controlling public security. The People's Army's occupation of Shanghai happened overnight. Military victory could be achieved overnight, but the takeover that followed was complicated. Stabilizing the situation in the short term depends on whether the underworld gangs everywhere can keep their peace.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????How to transform gang members in Shanghai so that they can be used by the People's Party? Jiang Baili, who served as the commander-in-chief of the front line, asked Zhang Hanqing for instructions.
Zhang Hanqing watched many feature films about Shanghai in the old society in later generations. Many of the characters in them are familiar to him, such as Huang Jinrong, Xu Wenqiang, and Du Yuesheng. After hearing the news about the "liberation" of Shanghai, I impulsively wanted to see whether some of the legendary figures were as awesome as what was written in the book. However, I thought that as a "politician and military strategist", I had some unorthodox talents in getting involved in the underworld. stop.
"But think about it, Du Yuesheng and Xu Wenqiang have not yet gotten together, and only Huang Huangrong has achieved some success.
Zhang Hanqing knows very well about this legendary figure in Shanghai, and has seen many legends about Green Gang figures in movies and TV. This golden man has many disciples, and the most famous among them is Chiang Kai-shek.
Huang Huangrong, known as the "Shanghai Famous Man", was a well-known leader of the Youth Gang in old Shanghai and the leader of the "Three Rogue Tycoons" - the other two were Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin. He is 55 years old this year. He came to Shanghai when he was 12 years old. When he was 17 years old, he worked as an apprentice in the painting shop owned by his brother-in-law in the Shanghai City God Temple. Later, he followed in his father's footsteps and was admitted to the "Bao Da Dao" (i.e. patrol house) in the French Concession in Shanghai.
Since then, with his shrewdness, he has repeatedly solved major and important cases, and gradually rose to the position of being the only Chinese inspector general in the Shanghai French Concession Patrol Room.
Huang Huangrong knows very well that if he does not form a clique with gangsters, it will be difficult to secure the position of "Inspector General". At that time, Shanghai gangsters had the so-called "accepting someone's protégé but not denying" rule: if you are not someone's protégé, it is allowed to "act" as someone's protégé; if you are someone's protégé, when you encounter trouble, you must It won't work if you give up.
According to this rule, Huang Huangrong pretended to be a disciple of Zhang Jinghu, the "big" member of the Qinggang, and thus recruited many disciples. Later, he sent Zhang Jinghu 20,000 silver yuan, forcing Zhang Jinghu to accept him as his disciple. In this way, his falsehoods became true and he became the descendant of the Qinggang "Tong". Later, as his power developed, he became a Shanghai Youth Gang tycoon.
With the dual status of the police and the Youth Gang, Huang Jinrong's "prosperity" grew: the famous "Big World" in Shanghai was included in his "territory"; Guilin Park became his private garden, called the "Huang Family" Garden"; the "Golden Grand Theater" named after "two-thirds of his name" was built; he also owned one of the four major Peking Opera stages in Shanghai, "Gongtai", the Grand View Garden Bathhouse, as well as "Junpeili", "Yuan" "Chengli" and dozens of houses.??Hundreds of acres of fertile land in Suzhou
Especially in Junpeili, a three-story bungalow with dozens of rooms is known as the "Huang Mansion". After the Revolution of 1911, Huang Huangrong moved here and lived here for more than 40 years until he died of illness. Most of the houses near Huang Mansion were rented by his thousands of disciples, forming Huang Huangrong's circle of influence.
Regarding Jiang Baili’s questions, Zhang Hanqing actually had a lot of thoughts.
The formation of gangs has its own internal logic, but in general, they must exist in large numbers in areas beyond the reach of the government, such as the famous Golden Triangle, the Sicilian Mafia, and drug lords in Colombia and Mexico. .
In fact, under the sun, the underworld is even more shady.
To eliminate the underworld, we must eradicate the soil where it exists. Without nutrients, it can no longer grow; if we can cut off its branches and clean up its periphery at the same time, when it is finally left alone, it can only wait to be chopped down at any time.
“ Piers, brothels, casinos and opium dens, as well as countless young people engaged in these businesses, are the soil for its existence, smuggling is its channel for survival, and collusion with powerful institutions is its magic weapon to avoid being banned.
“But as long as the People’s Party flexes its muscles, I believe that no fool will understand what it means to overestimate its capabilities.
Within a few days, the municipal government and courts were reorganized, the police department all had a new look, the armed police set up kiosks at various dock crossings, party and government agencies were formed from top to bottom, and grassroots organizations such as police stations and neighborhood committees also began to flourish. PowerThe People's Party began to make strides to control Shanghai.
Today’s Shanghai is also the most important economic center and maritime gateway in China to the great powers such as Britain, the United States, France, and Japan. To control Shanghai, relying on the important Shanghai-Nanjing Railway and the relatively developed road network in China, several provinces in East China and Yangtze River shipping were affected.
The most important thing is that Shanghai has three political entities: the International Public Concession, the French Concession and the Chinese Concession. Since the Xiaodao Society launched an uprising in 1853, it has been a common practice here: once a war breaks out on Chinese soil, Whether it was China's war with foreign countries or China's civil war, the concessions remained neutral, and in fact remained neutral.
Huang Huangrong’s territory is mainly in the French Concession, and his influence is quite large. If the People's Army wants to effectively control Shanghai, it has to deal with foreign powers in the current period, and it must be wary of its influence.
Therefore, the previously planned policy is that as long as they do not come out to cause trouble and disrupt the public order in Shanghai, they will not be touched. Especially gang leaders such as Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, according to Zhang Hanqing's instructions: "Don't move them first and observe them for a period of time!"
The Shanghai garrison is Zhang Zizhong’s 12th Division, which has been training in Hubei for more than a year. In addition to the five main forces, the equipment is also the first batch of divisions that can meet the requirements of the mountain artillery regiment of the brigade. More than 30,000 troops surrounded the city and built barracks in many places in the city center. People immediately felt the murderous intent of the People's Army.
"If you don't move, you will be done. If you move, you will eradicate the root cause. This can be seen from the "Announcement on People's Peace" issued by the Shanghai Municipal Government: "Anyone who continues to do evil will, once investigated, be punished severely, quickly and severely, and severe punishment will not be neglected"
The Shanghai Branch of the Central Investigation Department of the People's Party, which had early dealings with the Qinggang, obtained a guarantee from Huang Jinrong: As long as the Qinggang cooperated with the army to complete the security work of controlling Shanghai during the People's Army's stationing in Shanghai, and actively maintained law and order, the People's Army would forget about the past of the Qinggang; Otherwise, the "Military Control Commission" that controls Shanghai's military and financial affairs will completely ban its presence in Shanghai.
Thinking about Huang Jinrong’s generation of heroes, how many storms and waves they have seen, how can a mere "Military Control Commission" squat on their heads and shit? Many juniors angrily want to earn face for their boss and let the "Military Control Commission" see their own interests, so some loyal people will come up with bad ideas.
Unexpectedly, Huang Jinrong picked up the big-eared quack and said: "If you want me to live a long time, it is only right for you and your grandsons to cooperate with the Military Control Commission! Qi Xieyuan has tens of thousands of people and guns, but he peed after a while? "
The experienced Huang Jinrong knows very well that under the iron fist of the people's army, no dark forces can come to the fore, otherwise, the underworld will not be able to rebel!
In order to show his determination to cause no harm, Huang Huangrong also handed over the list of more than 400 gang leaders under him to the Shanghai branch of the "Central Investigation Department". Therefore, after the People's Army occupied Shanghai, the Youth Gang did not cause chaos.
At that time, Shanghai was being taken over here and there, but Huang Huangrong lived peacefully in his home in Shanghai without touching him. At this time, the Huang family was still a big family and could be called a big family. The Shanghai Military Control Commission observed that Huang Huangrong did not cause trouble. He has become a complete "homebody", living in seclusion, not asking about foreign affairs, and staying at home quietly. He just "soaks his skin in water in the morning and soaks his skin in water in the afternoon" every day.
The so-called "Pi soaking in water" means drinking tea, and the so-called "Pi soaking in water" means soaking in the bathhouse. He calls smoking, playing mahjong, and going to the bathhouse his "three pieces" of daily enjoyment.
“Having the Shanghai tycoon, who once dominated the world, be content to be inferior to others and endure humiliation has become a reflection of the strength of the People’s Army. Some gangsters and underground forces were also frightened by the momentum of the People's Army and became low-key. Shanghai citizens were delighted to discover overnight that the disciples of the Qinghong Gang, who had always been domineering, had become much gentler.

Chapter 651 Xu Shuzheng’s fate
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The People's Party is committed to its promises, and Zhang Hanqing did not swallow the fruits of the three-party anti-independence victory. In a flash, he originally wanted to seize the opportunity to deal with Zhejiang, so Lu Yongxiang could continue to be his supervisor.
??According to his request to the Feng clique leaders, they should put down their dignity during this rare period of peace and use two or three years to take care of the gap left by the Zhili clique's departure from the political arena. Therefore, peace is still the mainstream, and Duan Qirui, who has no troops and no power, is still the honorary head of state of China.
Although Duan Qirui's temporary power was only in name, it made some wandering figures from the Anhui clan who had been in decline for a long time think that this was another chance to make a comeback. Among them is Xu Shuzheng, a former important figure who Duan Qirui has always regarded as his right-hand man and is known as the "little fan strategist".
After the defeat in the Zhijiang-Anhui War, in order to prevent retaliation, Xu Shuzheng was sent abroad for "inspection" in advance. At that time, it was also a reasonable "placement" for a politician to go out of office. In the past few years, after the defeat of the Zhili Clique, Xu Shuzheng, who had disappeared from China's political circles, finally couldn't bear the distress of staying away from the political arena, and telegraphed Duan Qirui that he planned to return to Beijing from Europe.
He is Duan Qirui’s number one adviser. His abilities are beyond words, but he is just a bit arrogant and domineering. However, Zhang Hanqing spoke highly of him, thinking that he was not arrogant, but rather disdainful of being associated with ordinary pawns, which was considered noble.
But others don’t think so. After the defeat of the Anhui Clique, a series of prominent figures including Duan Qirui were not affected. Duan Qirui just ran to the Japanese Concession in Tianjin without any personal restrictions.
Only Xu Shuzheng, a subordinate, had to go into exile. He was at the top of the wanted list, with a reward of 100,000 yuan, which actually exceeded Duan Qirui. Logically speaking, he did not do anything special whether during the May 4th Movement or the Zhi-Anhui War. Even if he fought, it was only part of his job.
Fortunately, neither Cao Kun nor Zhang Zuolin implicated the upper echelons of the Anhui clique after the war. This was also a characteristic of that era. They were pardoned immediately after stepping down to show the generosity of latecomers.
But Xu Shuzheng must leave. This is also a common secret, although it is in the name of visiting Europe. On the way to escape, Xu Shuzheng wrote a poem with seven rhymes. The first couplet goes: "Buy my head for 100,000 gold. If you can really avoid me, you will also know my friends." It's both humorous and witty, and it doesn't sound like you're worried about your situation at all.
Being so arrogant, without him, he is already feared by others, and he doesn’t care if he is a little more arrogant.
"However, although Xu Shuzheng looked down on everyone in the world, he had a favorable view of Zhang Hanqing. Zhang Hanqing has been out of control since the first time he came to Beijing and met him. He has been involved in politics and military affairs. He has praised him on many occasions, and he does not lose respect because he is an enemy or a junior.
This outstanding young marshal from the Northeast had absolutely nothing to say about his political and military achievements. He wanted to be ahead of the curve in everything. Everything that happened to him was unimaginable, yet so real. He became a symbol of the Republic of China. A clear stream.
He was even more envious of Zhang Hanqing's literary achievements, because he was a politician and poet himself. Otherwise, he would not have written "Douxiang Pavilion Poems" with 200 poems, and "Bimeng'an Ci" with 60 poems. "Handled down from generation to generation. There are many praises in it, including two couplets that have also made a splash: "Thousands of horses are silent in the autumn moon, a lamp is full of flavor reading in the window at night", "A beauty with thousands of hair, a general with fame and fame".
“That was written by someone else, unlike Zhang Hanqing, you know.
Xu Shuzheng’s poetry takes a heroic path. He is a political figure with vision, insight, and extraordinary writing.
Maybe it’s the heroes feeling sympathy for each other? Regarding Xu Shuzheng's return, not only Duan Qirui persuaded him, but Zhang Hanqing also personally sent a telegram, asking him to continue "traveling around the country" to "find out public opinion and provide reference for China's formulation of diplomatic strategies."
This is a good intention. For Duan Qirui, because although Xu Shuzheng is urgently needed to advise him, he is still worried that he is in danger. Forget that Xu Shuzheng was usually arrogant and domineering, the Anhui clique was still on the stage at that time. Now that Hu Luo Pingyang himself is overwhelmed, there is no guarantee that the people he offends will not be cruel to him.
Zhang Hanqing didn’t want him to come back because he didn’t want this domineering master to come to Beijing to cause trouble. Duan Qirui should just be his puppet in power. Once Xu Shuzheng comes, he will inevitably conflict with the National Army, which will affect the overall peace and stability.
"The Nationalist Army was causing a lot of trouble in Beijing due to lack of pay. Not only did Feng Yuxiang and Sun Yue not stop it, they also condoned some of the behaviors of the rebels. It is said in official history that the military discipline of the Kuomintang army was the best during the Republic of China, and in Zhang Hanqing's view, it was normal. If it were the People's Army, a group of people would have to be shot!
Zhang Hanqing, who came from the history of later generations, knew very clearly what was waiting for Xu Shuzheng. Although in this life, because of him, the war was won in one go, two years earlier than the official history, but the hatred will not subside as time advances, because his opponent is Feng Yuxiang.
Because Xu Shuzheng shot Feng Yuxiang's maternal uncle Lu Jianzhang, Feng had to endure the humiliation and stay away from the political center for a long time. He was looked down upon by warlords from all sides. The "national hatred and family feud" made him and Feng Yuxiang form an insoluble grudge. . Although Feng Yuxiang is not well-equipped with soldiers and food now, it is still a piece of cake to deal with the unarmed Xu Shuzheng.
Duan Qirui knew that Feng Yuxiang would not let Xu Shuzheng go, so of course he was afraid that his "soul" Xu Shuzheng would throw himself into the tiger's den. However, at the end of the year, Xu Shuzheng still arrived in Beijing and held a public meeting with the head of state. During this period, Qirui was still the acting head of state and interim ruler.
Although he was no longer powerful, Xu Shuzheng still expressed his loyalty to Duan Qirui. Therefore, Duan Qirui, who had always indulged Xu Shuzheng's domineering behavior before, was not without this feeling.
However, Xu Shuzheng was forced to go abroad because of the failure of his activities to contact Guangdong, Fengwan, and Anhui to fight against directism and promote Duan Qirui's comeback. Now he is ignorant of current affairs. In order to integrate into the political center with Duan and Zhang as the core as soon as possible - of course, there are actually soldiers The rich Zhang Zuolin is the core, and Duan Qirui is just a foil. He is far from being as popular as the original Duan in power - as soon as he returned to China, he advocated a great alliance between the Beiyang faction and unified power in the "National Unification Committee."
"This is exactly what Zhang Zuolin and others want. Xu Shuzheng is a bit arrogant, but it depends on what he does. When he killed Lu Jianzhang, Lao Zhang had no objection. But when Yang Yuting sacrificed his career and enriched himself, he got into a corner with Lao Zhang, and that was when Lao Zhang became furious. Now times have changed, and he has become the drummer of the Feng clan again, which of course makes people feel good.
“But this touched the most sensitive nerve in Feng Yuxiang’s heart. If everyone joins the "National Unification Council" led by the Feng faction, what kind of independence does this have?
Originally, Duan Qirui’s forces were just a foil after the three-party anti-straight movement, but now they are using the Kuomintang as a gift to the Fengxi faction. How can people feel comfortable? With Xu Shuzheng's temperament, his active presence on the political stage will definitely be detrimental to Feng Yuxiang.
"Moreover, Lu Jianzhang's incident has been weighing on his mind for many years. With this incident again, old hatred and new hatreds surged into his heart. He wanted to kill Xu Yi to vent his anger.
If Zhang Hanqing had to forcefully protect Xu Shuzheng, he would not dare to take action even if he gave Feng Yuxiang a hundred courages. But as an outsider, he didn't want to get too involved in this kind of grudges. There were causes and consequences. Although it was his suggestion when Lu Jianzhang was killed, others didn't know about it, and it was Xu Shuzheng who did it!
But he still gave Duan Qirui some hints. The mutual sympathy was mutual. Although they didn't have much friendship, they couldn't bear to see him being assassinated. Xu Shuzheng no longer poses a threat as he has no troops, no power, and it would be a good thing to let him spend the years after his resignation safely.
Duan Qirui noticed this and hurriedly told him about the dangerous situation in Beijing and advised him to leave Beijing quietly. Xu Shuzheng disagreed: "I am a special envoy of the state. Even if Feng Yuxiang wants to antagonize me, he can't touch me easily!" On the afternoon of December 30, Xu Shuzheng publicly asked the ruling government to prepare a special car for him, and then boarded the car to Tianjin.
He didn’t know that Lu Jianzhang’s son, Lu Chengwu, had been sneaking into Beijing with his pistol team on Feng Yuxiang’s orders for several days, but he had never found an opportunity to assassinate Xu Shuzheng. Unexpectedly, Xu boarded the train bound for Tianjin, and Feng Yuxiang decided to kill Xu Shuzheng openly!
After Zhang Zhijiang, Feng Yuxiang's subordinate stationed on the Beijing-Tianjin line, received Feng's order to "stop Xu Shuzheng halfway and shoot him on the spot," he immediately led people to force the train to stop at Langfang Station. It was late at night and Xu Shuzheng had already fallen asleep. Zhang Zhijiang's adjutant got on the bus and asked him to get off twice but was excused. This guy really felt that something was wrong.
Finally, Zhang Zhijiang sent someone to get in the car and forcefully invited him. Xu Shuzheng put on a suit and a leather collar coat and walked out of the car with the person. As soon as Xu Shuzheng left the station, soldiers from Zhang Zhijiang's Pistol Battalion swarmed him, pulled him to a nearby grove, and immediately shot him to death without any explanation. They also stripped Xu Shuzheng of his clothes.
When he died, he was still wearing his pajamas.
In order to deal with the public opinion, Lu Chengwu rushed from Beijing to Langfang overnight and announced to Xu's entourage: "I am Lu Chengwu, the son of Lu Jianzhang. Xu Shuzheng assassinated my father. Today I avenge my father and kill Xu Shuzheng!"
At that time, one of Xu's attendants muttered: "Your father was killed by Yang Yuting, don't make a mistake."
Lu Chengwu said sternly: "I was not wrong, I avenged my father, just and above all."
He is right. Historically, public opinion has been sympathetic to this. After all, it was Xu Shuzheng who violated the unwritten political rules and killed Lu Jianzhang first, setting the precedent for killing political opponents in the Republic of China.
When the news came, Zhang Hanqing let out a long sigh. Sometimes history really does not depend on people's will. Xu Shuzheng's death was his fate.
At that time, Zhang Xun died of illness shortly after the failure of the restoration. Xu Shuzheng's elegiac couplet for him was: "On the festival day, to save the souls of nine temples, his ambition is sad, and his stupidity is unreachable; there is a six-foot-long orphan, not one scratching the earth, this man has passed away , who will figure it out?" Very pertinent.
Now that he is dead, he is as sad as Zhang Xun. He is equally stupid and has a six-foot-long solitary life without a scratch of earth.
If no one speaks up, his death will be like thunder in summer. Although it is shocking at the time, it will soon be washed away without a trace by the heavy rain. However, Zhang Hanqing was in power at this time and space, and things that he had been thinking about for a long time but had no chance were completely resolved after this incident.
He is going to use this matter to make a fuss out of a molehill. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)This is: "On the festival day of the common man, I rescued the spirits of nine temples. Their aspirations are pitiable, but their stupidity is beyond reach; there is a six-foot-long lonely man with no one scratching the earth.

Chapter 652 Emergency treatment

The first to attack was the People's Party Daily. It published an editorial on the front page of the next day titled "Feng's soldiers used the army to kill central officials without permission. How can the warlords defend the dignity of the country if the power of the warlords is not eliminated?" and started writing against Zhang Zhijiang and Lu Chengwu. He even insinuated that this incident was caused by Feng Yuxiang's instigation, or that Feng Zhi should be held accountable for his lax military management in order to appease the world.
Then the propaganda agencies under the control of the People's Party overwhelmingly exaggerated this incident: "Beijing News", "Ta Kung Pao", "Min Bao", etc. all responded to the news, and the first wireless radio station in North China, "Central Radio" also used The rolling news broadcast method continues to discredit Feng Jun.
The Zhang family and his son conveyed the message to Feng Yuxiang through various channels: Under this situation, Feng Yuxiang must resign to apologize for his fault, otherwise the central government will order his removal from office and hold his subordinates accountable for committing crimes; if not, he will be punished. In order to maintain the authority of the central government, he will not hesitate to attack even if he is ordered to do so!
Zhang Hanqing is not just saying that he has been deeply resentful of Feng Yuxiang's waiting for a price during the Zhili-Fengtian War for a long time, and he has endured it until now.
Now Feng Yuxiang's Second National Army is completely surrounded by the People's Army and Fengjun: the Central China People's Army is ready, the North China garrison has sent out several troops, and the East China People's Army has cut off its eastward possibility, and is in the north, east, and middle. Feng Yuxiang, who was facing great pressure from three aspects, could only seek help from Yan Xishan to the west, besides fighting to the death.
In fact, it is just Xu Shuzheng. Zhang Hanqing does not need to seek justice for him, or he can just punish Lu Chengwu. But he insisted on getting so angry because there were various reports showing that Feng Yuxiang's hands were dirty, which he was very taboo about.
In addition to making a fortune from the Zhili after the war, Feng Yuxiang was not satisfied. According to intelligence from the Central Investigation Department of the People’s Party, he purchased 10,000 rifles from the UK at 85 yuan each; 2 million bullets at 12.5 yuan per 100 rounds; 24 machine guns at 7,500 yuan each, totaling 1.28 million Yuan.
This account is clearly placed on Zhang Hanqing’s desk.
Within the powerful Feng Faction, it is normal for Feng Yuxiang to have a sense of crisis. Except for the Jin clique, basically all the arsenals in China are now in the hands of the Feng clique. It is normal for him to buy some arms from abroad. Besides, these arms are not of much importance to the People's Army. What Zhang Hanqing is concerned about is that the British have intensified their intention to interfere in China and are seeking to re-establish them as agents.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
What is even more unpleasant is that Feng Yuxiang also plans to collude with the Soviet Union, which is absolutely intolerable.
As we all know, although the Soviet Union signed formal diplomatic relations with the Republic of China government, it was still very concerned about its interests in China being completely cleared. Zhang Hanqing's tough diplomacy also made the Soviet Union very fearful, because if the Feng system finally unified China, it would establish a huge country in the East.
Judging from his persistence in the Middle East Route and his determination to handle the situation in Mokuowei, Hulunbuir, and Outer Mongolia (which were Chinese territories at this time, Mao Zi dared to confuse them), he was a staunch nationalist. It is possible to live in peace without harming other countries' interests (isn't this one of the basic principles of international relations?). In this sense, China's unification is detrimental to it.
??And this policy of the Soviet Union is consistent. In the official history, he actively recognized Manchukuo supported by the Japanese, with the purpose of dividing China to satisfy Japan's appetite and achieve the goal of peace between the Soviet Union and Japan.
Before the Soviet Union became a thing, it strongly hoped that China would become stronger and help it. However, when China really became stronger, it wanted to contain it in the long run. This is like the first lesson in human behavior mentioned in the famous Indian movie "Three Idiots in Bollywood": "If your friend fails, you feel bad; if your friend tops, you feel even worse." !”
In order to exert some restraint, the Soviet government has conducted tireless communication with the warlord forces active in various parts of China, and has also made many "friendly" actions: it has donated or sold arms to these armed forces at low prices to maintain its relations with them. "friendship".
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The Soviet Union (still Soviet Russia at the time) was very interested in Sun Yat-sen's request for assistance, and almost accepted Sun Yat-sen's mission to provide arms "from Mongolia or Xinjiang via Gansu". Later, after careful analysis, it was concluded that given the Chinese Marshal's control and emphasis on these two places, as well as the Marshal's sensitive nerves, this job was not easy to do.
Of course, they still sent Joffe to negotiate with Sun Yat-sen in person to try to do something, but before the results came out, Chen Jiongming and the People's Army successively launched artillery battles with the Guangdong National Army. With the defeat of the National Army, this matter became a thing of the past.
 Many cases have been discovered and the whole process is being followed, but they have to be carefully confirmed because they involve relations between the two countries.
Now, according to our internal statistics, these arms are placed in the basement of the embassy in China. Our intelligence agents managed to get a list of arms. The amount is staggering! "
Zhang Hanqing took the list and was shocked after reading it briefly. How dare they do it!
This list shows a total of: 3,530 rifles, 23,649,455 bullets, 80 Maxim guns, 18 three-inch field guns, 8 howitzers, 38 boxes of artillery shells totaling 17,654 rounds, 9,360 chemical shells, and field motorcycles 18 vehicles, 1,800 explosives, 30,000 gas masks, 10 burners, 500 Nament pistols, 4,000 sabers, 5,000 pistol bullets, a total price of 4,501,999 rubles, enough to equip a brigade !

How audacious! After confirming the news, Zhang Hanqing was no longer calm. It seemed that it was impossible to remain true to his true intentions. He decided to search the Soviet Embassy in China forcefully!
??In terms of international relations, as long as you enter the embassy, ??you are safe. I guess the Soviets are not afraid that Zhang Hanqing will risk the whole world to search its embassy, ??right? Is this what Feng Yuxiang planned too? However, cleverness can lead to mistakes. Zhang Hanqing is not a person who plays his cards according to common sense.
Countries should be equal and mutually beneficial, and the diplomatic relations between China and the Soviet Union cannot be based on the support of opposing forces by both sides. This behavior of the Soviet Union is no different from the regime that is directly hostile to the Republic of China.
You are unkind and I am unjust. The Soviet Union at this time was far from the terrifying existence it would be in later generations. After experiencing the long-term wars of World War I and Civil War, the Soviet Union's domestic economy has reached the brink of collapse. It has absolutely no ability to launch a war with China. The power of the People's Army is not a vegetarian, and besides, it is wrong first, if there is sufficient evidence.
Once again confirming the existence of arms, Zhang Hanqing felt confident. No matter whether paper evidence can be found in the end, no one will believe that the Soviet Union is innocent in this matter based on these arms.
The decision to search the Soviet Embassy was made, and the people who implemented it were Huang Xiansheng, then commander of the Beijing Armed Police Force, and Wang Geng, the director of the Beijing Police Department.
Wang Geng’s appointment came naturally. He previously had a tough style in handling the Korean riots in Huichun. Later, when he was the Harbin police chief, he also performed well in the battle to seize the command of the Central Navy for Zhang Hanqing, thus gaining Zhang Hanqing's attention. What interests Zhang Hanqing most is his experience studying in the United States.
When he was at Princeton University, he was interviewed by the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he received higher education in the U.S. Army and was said to be a classmate of Eisenhower.
At this time, classmate Xiao Ai was still unknown, but Zhang Hanqing knew his influence. Wang Geng and his classmates really didn’t expect this. In view of Wang Geng's efforts, Zhang Hanqing later made him concurrently serve as deputy commander of the Middle East Road Protection Army of the Ministry of Transportation (still under the name of the Ministry of Transportation). After he was directly appointed to co-manage the Central Committee, he was concurrently appointed as the deputy director of the Naval Liaison Office in charge of the Northeast River Defense Fleet, and his military rank was also promoted to rear admiral
When the Feng clique came to Beijing again, Wang Geng, who was dedicated and responsible, naturally became Zhang Hanqing's favorite candidate for the chief of the Capital Police Department. On the question of how to search the Soviet embassy, ??he once again lived up to his expectations.
"Young Marshal, without further ado, our first step is to use military and police manpower to completely blockade the Soviet Embassy so that the stolen goods cannot be concealed or destroyed. With physical evidence, all issues can be discussed. We may need to ask the Marshal to arrange this. , coordinated by Commander Huang.
“However, in order to properly handle the consequences of this incident, I suggest using troops in the name of exercises to control the situation to a minimum. The task of the Beijing Police Department is to quickly enter the embassy. In addition to controlling the arms, it also needs to obtain a list of transactions. The subsequent situation is the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "
"Very good. This approach is very good and very thoughtful. After all, the Soviet Union is the first country with which China has established ambassadorial-level relations, and it is also a very important country. China still has many places to rely on, and it is not suitable to fall out at this time." Zhang Hanqing So rated.
Wang Geng’s approach not only solved the problem, but also did not preserve the face of the Soviet Union. It can be said that it reflects his political wisdom, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary military personnel. He seems to be the right person to be appointed as the chief of the Beijing Municipal Police.
???????????????????????????????????????????… In the early morning of the next day, a certain garrison marched into the foreign embassy area from the outside and inside in the name of anti-riot drills, and completed the traffic barrier in the area while all parties were still confused.
Under the guidance of traffic police at various intersections, people in each embassy area can completely carry out daily activities relatively, but few people will notice that the security around the Soviet Embassy is very tight.
At the same time, Wang Geng personally led hundreds of police officers into the embassy and controlled the people in each room while the panicked Russians were at a loss. Facing the policemen who rushed into the basement with loaded ammunition, Soviet Ambassador Yulin's face turned pale instantly. He wanted to say something, but said nothing.
??Facts are the best language. In the basement, the Chinese police found mountains of guns and ammunition. While Wang Geng sent people to search the list among the piles of writing papers, he also directed the personnel to count the arms.
Youlin had already woken up from the initial panic. He said in fluent Chinese to the policeman who detained him: "I am the Soviet ambassador to China, and I want to see your young marshal!"
He and Zhang Hanqing are old acquaintances. They have known each other since the Feng clique began to rise a few years ago. However, Zhang Hanqing has no intention of meeting him now. On the matter of searching the embassynbsp;Sun Yat-sen also decided not to defend Feng Yuxiang. At this moment, it is the time when the National Army is silently licking its wounds and seeking to grow stronger. Feng Yuxiang is putting himself at the gunpoint. What can he do?
When Zhang Hanqing calmly stated that he would be punished for several crimes and therefore wanted to strip Feng Yuxiang of all his official positions, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Dead -friendly friends are not dead. He is murdered first, and he will not let anyone go to such an opponent after playing the military fire. Moreover, Zhang Hanqing said that except for Feng Yuxiang being punished, the matter would end here. This was an attitude of preparing to put an end to the matter.
Even Sun Yixian felt that Zhang Hanqing had done the most benevolent thing this time, otherwise he would have taken the opportunity to annex Feng Yuxiang's army, and he would not have dared to risk ruining the Kuomintang and support his faction. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 654 The overwhelming force
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
When Feng Yuxiang heard that the People's Army was going to relieve him of his duties, he instinctively prepared to resist with force.
The 60,000-strong army has been organized into an organic unit, and he still has certain strength. However, frightened by the powerful force of the Feng clique, he decided to contact Yan Xishan to form an alliance, supplemented by peripheral forces such as the Guangxi clique and the Sichuan clique. This would not only make the momentum appear strong, but also provide a way out in critical moments.
Yan Xishan has also had this intention for a long time. As the Fengcian faction gradually gained control, some unstable elements in Jin Province openly or covertly showed their loyalty to the central government, and some of their generals also gradually became centrifugal. In this way, it won't be long before he himself will be scattered without the need for an army to attack. Instead of doing this, it is better to take advantage of the situation when the situation is not even, and maybe we can find a way out.
But Yan’s behavior was not approved by his civil and military assistants. Yan Xishan's important advisers throughout his life, General Councilor Zhao Daiwen, president of Shanxi National Normal University, and his first member of the Tiger General Shang Zhen were strongly opposed.
The National Normal University had a considerable status in Shanxi at that time. Its students were in almost all government departments. As the principal, Zhao Daiwen was respected as "Sir" by people in the officialdom.
There is a saying when talking about Zhao Daiwen's "achievements": "There are many generals in the Jinsui Army who have come out of their own way." General Counselor, Director, Chief of Staff, all titles one after another, coupled with the twenty-year life-and-death relationship with Yan Xishan, in the land of Shanxi, it can also be said that "one person is below and above ten thousand people". The status cannot but be called prominent.
Originating from decades of traditional culture, Zhao Daiwen has a strong sense of loyalty to the emperor and the people deep in his mind. He is loyal to his chief officer Yan Xishan, and does not want Yan Xishan to commit "challenge", nor does he want the war to spread and the lives of his elders to be ruined . He wants to do everything he can to stop chaos and disputes and eliminate the dangers of war.
Zhang Hanqing took turns to launch offensives, expressing his determination to go to war without Feng Yuxiang stepping down, and persuaded Zhao Daiwen to use his influence to warn Yan Xishan not to be instigated by others to destroy the country's hard-won peace, and not to make useless efforts to attack the stone with an egg.
Therefore, when representing Yan Xishan in Beijing to negotiate state affairs, Zhao Daiwen took the trouble and tried his best to do Yan Xishan's work. Starting from January, Zhao Daiwen telegraphed Yan Xishan from Beijing to express his approval for his "going abroad with Feng". In the middle of the month, Zhao Daiwen telegraphed Yan Xishan twice on the matter, analyzing the current situation and explaining the pros and cons, but Yan Xishan was hesitant.
Feng Yuxiang also sent Xue Dubi to see Zhao to state his opinions on the rebellion of Jin and Guangxi. When Zhao Daiwen heard this, he became furious. He stood up from his chair, threw a fine porcelain tea cup with a lid on the ground, and shouted loudly: "You want to harm Meng (meaning "I" in Wutai dialect) Yan Bochuan" Miles. ’ Walking around the house, angry.
Zhao Daiwen was anxious day and night in Beijing and could not sleep at night. He said in many conversations: "I can't bear to see China fighting another civil war. If there is another civil war, I will jump into the Yellow River." It was published in big letters in various newspapers in Beijing. Immediately, Zhao Daiwen returned to Shanxi with Zhang Zuolin's autograph letter.
In Taiyuan, Zhao Daiwen had an unpleasant conversation with Yan Xishan. As soon as the two met, he asked Yan Xishan sternly: "I heard that you are going to rebel. Is this true?"
Yan Ze acted calmly and said unhurriedly: "Cilong, why are you so angry? Sit down and say slowly, it is everyone's opinion on the matter of asking for help."
Before Yan Xishan could finish speaking, he continued: "Zhang Zuolin has successfully unified China by conquering Anhui and his prestige has been established. He is the government, and you are all his subordinates. You must take the lead in fighting him. , isn’t this a rebellion? The Zhili and Anhui cliques are so powerful, haven’t they all been eradicated? In terms of strength, is Shanxi comparable to Wu Peifu?”
While talking, Jia Jingde and Xue Dubi came to see Yan about something. As soon as he entered the door, he was hit by a gun, and Zhao Daiwen scolded him: "I heard that it was you who instigated the commander-in-chief to rebel. If you say anything again in the future, I will hit you on the head!" Intimidated by his prestige, neither Jia nor Xue dared to do so. To make any defense, he had to retreat quietly.
After Jia and Xue withdrew, Zhao Daiwen continued the original topic and said sincerely: "People all over the country are tired of war and hope to live a peaceful life. Aren't you afraid of being scolded by the people of the world for doing this?
Looking at my more than half a year in Beijing, I know that the Fengcian faction has become an iron barrel and the military is also very powerful. You may think that there are many people uniting, but in fact they are just a mob. These people fight for benefits and avoid danger. How can we be reliable in a war? If you want to hit him, aren't you inviting failure? These people in Taiyuan are either exiled politicians or frustrated soldiers. Can you listen to their nonsense?
Shanxi has finally managed to stay outside the forces of various factions. If you join forces, you will lose everything and have no place to die; if you win, you will only encounter a protracted war. The Jin army only has so little wealth, do you still want to go to Beijing and become emperor? It’s just two provinces that we occupy. This styleHe is a real person, but he has no idea, especially when he is too laissez-faire towards the third child. He is really a success or a failure!
"If you have made contributions to the country, you should be the secretary-general of the Education Committee. Zhang Zuolin has made greater contributions, so why not do it?" It was his third brother Zhao Jie who spoke. However, such words seemed so inappropriate at this time.
"Wu Peifu has completely lost. How can we fight against Dashuai Zhang? Well, the situation is over. I can go to Beijing to retire, and Dashuai Zhang is treating me pretty well." Zhao Ti lost interest for a moment: "Just wait patiently. The central government has sent people to collect you, and for the sake of my usual caution, no one will make things difficult for you."
Afterwards, Zhao Ti personally drafted a telegram reply in his beautiful calligraphy: "As fate would have it, I will go north as planned, Zhao Ti."
This is the shortest telegram he has ever written in his life. Because of his hobby of calligraphy, when he was a warlord, he spent a lot of time in the signing room (office) every day to show off his calligraphy. Therefore, whenever he received a letter or telegram, his chief of staff and secretary-general would not dare to open it and read it, leaving him to do it himself.
This last telegram was still drafted by him, so it can be considered a beginning and an end. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 655 Strike while the iron is hot
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
At the end of the East China War, the Central, Northwest, and South China Headquarters of the People's Army made frequent transfer orders, and the entire army was preparing to send troops to the southwest and liberate all of China. At this time, Li Zongren and others did not dare to confront the central government head-on, so they had no choice but to superficially recognize the legitimacy of Zhang Zuolin's government.
Yan Xishan didn't dare to move when he saw it, so Feng Yuxiang's plan to unite Gui and Jin to rebel was forced to shelve it temporarily.
After the "peaceful" liberation of East China, most of China's territory, except for a few provinces in the southwest, has been contiguously controlled by the Feng clan. Only the Jiangsu and Zhejiang armies of Lu Yongxiang and Sun Chuanfang are still fighting hard to gain a sense of presence.
The Nationalist Army is alone, and many people in the Feng Faction have proposed taking the opportunity to swallow up the Nationalist Army, defeat the Kuomintang, and establish a central government controlled solely by the Fengcheng Faction. Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing used his absolute authority to stop it. If the incident escalates, he is worried that it will anger the young and energetic young commander and make the situation get out of hand.
In desperation, the Kuomintang had no choice but to give up its troops to protect its commander. Feng Yuxiang had to announce his resignation from the military and wrote to the National Defense Commission, requesting to resign as vice chairman of the National Defense Commission and commander of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and handed over his army to General Zhang Zhijiang. .
Zhang Zuolin sent a telegram to express his condolences, and appointed him as the special envoy of the ruling government of the Republic of China to tour the Soviet Union, so as to comprehensively learn from the Soviet Union's experience in building an army, and to serve as the front stop for Zhang Hanqing's upcoming visit to the Soviet Union.
Aren’t you in cahoots with the Soviet Union? I'll simply ask you to go over there and communicate with them directly!
In this matter, Feng Yuxiang had a way to defeat, and Zhang Hanqing was determined to attack. Xu Shuzheng's fate is also Feng Yuxiang's fate. However, even so, it has caused great harm to the Kuomintang and the National Army.
In view of the frequent troubles caused by the National Army, Zhang Hanqing made a request to the National Defense Commission that supervisors should be dispatched to the two National Army, and requested that the National Army be prohibited from leaving the camp, and that the National Defense Commission provide military pay and supplies; in addition, he hoped that the National Army could learn from the People's Army in forming Political departments at all levels to establish good military discipline.
In the early stage, the People’s Party can select some outstanding People’s Party political working groups to join the National Army for reorganization.
This is a burden that Sun Yixian cannot bear. Over time, the national army generals were not surnamed country but people. He politely rejected Zhang Hanqing's kindness. Of course, he did not object to the effectiveness of the Political Department in managing the army, but said that the Kuomintang had the ability to conduct political training for the army.
Having suffered enough without his own army, Sun Yat-sen decided to send party representatives to the two national armies. However, his decision was wrong from the beginning, or he overestimated his influence and the loyalty of the National Army to him.
The armies of Sun Yue and Feng Yuxiang were originally their own private armies. After defeating the Zhili, they took the opportunity to expand several times. For example, Sun Yue was originally the commander of a mixed brigade with only 5,000 or 6,000 people. After taking over the direct army, he became the commander of 30,000 people. Feng Yuxiang was slightly stronger. His three mixed brigades originally had two people. Ten thousand people, now 60,000.
“Many middle- and lower-level generals are dependent on their chief officers. These people do not believe in any doctrine. How could the Political Department, an external force, gain ground so easily? When Zhang Hanqing's guard brigade (division) was made up of his people, it took a lot of effort to gradually gain everyone's recognition.
What’s more, Sun Yue and Zhang Zhijiang themselves are not willing to have someone suddenly constrain their command system. They are only inclined to the Kuomintang, but they are not personally loyal to Sun Yixian.
Besides, their close relationship with Sun Yat-sen is far less than that of some of the people the latter wanted to send into the National Army: Liao Zhongkai, Wang Jingwei, Deng Yanda This National Army is their political life. Who can guarantee that when the army is controlled by the Kuomintang? What will happen to you in the end? Therefore, they have been silently resisting the structure of this political department since the beginning.
This is exactly what Zhang Hanqing expected. Although it is the trend of the times for political workers to join the army, they must also be adapted to current conditions. Wanting to control someone else's army effortlessly, Sun Dapao's paranoia is back! But that's exactly what he wanted.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off, off, how come the junior officers like them don’t know what Jiu and their junior officers mean? Sun Yue, Zhang Zhijiang and others who are members of the Kuomintang or have expressed support for Sun Yat-sen cannot openly oppose it. How can they, as subordinates, not share the worries of their superiors? Coincidentally, the Political Department encountered firm resistance from both Nationalist armies, and a small-scale mutiny occurred in Feng's Department without its old boss.
This made Sun Yat-sen, who had experienced many mutinies, very nervous. He had no choice but to withdraw his political department and sent someone to explain his original intention to the National Army. He struggled with this for a long time.
During this period, Zhang Hanqing took the opportunity to consolidate his power in the central government.
Because of the mixed personnel in various committees, handling political affairs is extremely troublesome.?, after maintaining it for a month, Zhang Hanqing decided to turn these original committees into a purely advisory body, start from scratch, and establish a large number of cabinet ministries.
What is different from before is that the chief officers of each ministry are not called chiefs but ministers, and most of the chief positions are directly taken over by the "general department" chiefs of the ministries under the Northeast "National Unification Council" of the original corresponding departments. Because this system has already taken shape in the Northeast, it was easy to take over the reins
During the Republic of China, there were not many ministries. Most of the cabinets had less than ten people, and various powers were basically devolved to the provinces. However, Zhang Hanqing’s current ministries are several times as many as before. In addition to the previously necessary ministries of foreign affairs, finance, transportation, education, justice, etc., he has split some of the previous larger ministries, such as the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce into Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Commerce, etc.
In addition, many new departments have been added, some of which are unheard of but seem very reasonable: Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Labor and Social Security, Ministry of Supervision, Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Land, Resources and Environmental Protection, The Audit Department, the Ethnic Affairs Department, the Personnel and Civil Service Department basically each perform their own duties, and basically cover all the imaginable functions of the state.
In addition, there is a department of customs and immigration that is more eye-catching. Customs is easy to understand, but immigration is a bit confusing.
But it is easy to understand after explanation: more than half of the people in the three eastern provinces immigrated from the customs; with the recovery of Mongolia, and the complete restoration of the sovereign governance of Xinjiang, Tibet and other places in the future, the current situation of a huge population with a small amount of land will no longer exist. The state needs to provide certain immigration processing to "enrich" border areas and minority areas and reduce centrifugal force
In addition, the old Russian people who have been wandering in the Northeast and Shanghai for a long time also need an explanation to allow them to effectively integrate into China.
The Northeast Immigration Act was previously implemented in 1918, which stipulated that foreign non-agricultural populations (mainly Belarusian immigrants) were required to pay varying amounts of immigration fees to the Northeast Autonomous Government in order to become permanent nationals of China. . This immigration fee can also be replaced by investment (investments of a certain amount are exempt from the fee).
Among them, those who have professional expertise and are urgently needed by the Northeast Autonomous Government can be exempted from paying fees and work in various institutions arranged by the government, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, machinery, electronics, molds, navigation, shipbuilding, etc. Industries such as motorcycles and motorcycles provide free talents for the industrial development of Northeast China.
In the future, as China grows, there will always be foreigners who want to take advantage of China’s east wind to settle down. The Chinese nation is an inclusive nation, and there can no longer be debates between Yi and Di in modern society. The United States relies on its strong immigration system to continuously attract talents from all over the world, and it is also strong for future generations. It is no longer appropriate for China to close itself off when it comes to immigrants.
“However, this kind of openness should not reject all comers and let some unscrupulous liars, vagrants, hooligans, low-educated people and low-quality people into the home.
China cannot be like later generations, where everything in foreign countries is good: in order to enhance oral training, some scum with bad qualities and moral corruption are hired at high salaries as English teachers; those scum, relying on the innate advantages of their mother tongue and taking Chinese money, Doing things that insult the Chinese people Chinese immigrants should introduce high-quality, high-ability talents that China is in urgent need of! The existence of such an institution is always necessary.
There is another department, the Development and Reform Commission, which is newly established. Its existence was established by Zhang Hanqing in order to effectively control huge trusts and public institutions related to the national economy and people's livelihood. It will not have the power of life and death over many things like the National Development and Reform Commission in later generations. Its mission is only to balance the effective operation of the national economy and ensure Items necessary for the country's survival and security are now directly under it, including the Grain Bureau, Energy Bureau, and State-owned Enterprise Bureau.
Due to the huge strength of the major banks in the Northeast, they followed closely after the People's Party entered Beijing, and quickly took control of the major banks in Beijing and Tianjin with their advantages, either through reorganization, acquisition, or merger. In short, with the People’s Party taking control of the overall situation, Northeastern interest groups have also gained absolute advantages in the financial system:
The four major banks of agriculture, industry, transportation and construction in Northeast China have been renamed as China's four major commercial banks of agriculture, industry and commerce, transportation and construction. Northeast Bank has taken over the central bank and changed its name to Bank of China, assuming the status of the head office of China's currency issuance. And Yu Aozhou naturally became the chairman and president of Bank of China.
Former major shareholders of Northeast Bank, Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen, Wu Junsheng, etc., including Zhang Hanqing and his wife, have all transformed into behind-the-scenes bosses controlling the Chinese economy
Similarly, because of the inextricable political and economic relationships with several major banks, twelve trusts in the Northeast have seized the market in the customs. With their technological progress, mature craftsmanship, and huge power, they quickly expanded into a larger group within the pass like a snowball.
Maybe their hugeness will have some bad effects on China's economy in the future, but at present, they can integrate China's power more efficiently and they have made outstanding achievements.
With unprecedented political, economic, and military strength, Zhang Hanqing began to deliberately ignore the existence of the Kuomintang faction and began to implement more centralized power control. This time, his goal is to set the tone for the country and achieve long-term peace and stability.
Because they took advantage of the time when the National Army aroused public anger and the Kuomintang political system was boycotted, they received unexpected benefits.

Chapter 656: Changing Flag Troubles

At this time, within the "National Unification Committee", the superficial unity that was forcibly brought together by the pressure of the Feng faction and the prestige of Sun Yat-sen of the Kuomintang began to divide again after the war came to an end. The main manifestation of its disputes is on a small national flag.
The national flag is one of the symbols of the country. As early as after the Wuchang Uprising, the Provisional Senate of the Republic of China, which was founded in Nanjing, caused disputes among representatives of each province due to the inconsistent military flags used by the revolutionary armies of each province:
The three provinces of Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangxi Provinces use the iron-blooded eighteen-star flag to represent the eighteen provinces; the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Province use the five-color flag, with red, yellow, blue, white, and black representing Han, Manchu, and Mongolian The five provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan and Guizhou followed the tradition of the Tongmenghui and used the blue sky and white sun and the red flag on the ground; Chen Jiongming once used the tic-tac-toe flag when he raised troops in Huizhou, but after joining forces in Guangzhou, it was no longer used .
At the beginning of the Republic of China, the legal national flag that replaced the Yellow Dragon Flag of the Qing Dynasty was the five-color flag. This was a decision made by the Federation of Representatives of the Provincial Governors' Offices on December 2, 1911. The five-color flag was used as the temporary national flag, and the Iron Blood Flag of Wuchang Shouyi was the temporary national flag. The army flag and the navy flag are the blue sky and white sun and the red ground.
The then Generalissimo Huang Xing had a dispute because Sun Yat-sen was optimistic about the blue sky, white sun and red earth, so he hesitated to make a decision. However, Shanghai newspapers had already disclosed the relevant information. In this case, Huang Xing believed: "Since it has been revealed, there is no need for me to approve it. Besides, the national flag should be determined by law, so we have to wait for another day."
At this time, Sun Yat-sen was overseas trying to prevent Britain, France and Russia from continuing to provide military supplies to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he did not hear anything about it.
The following year, the Nanjing Provisional Government was established, and Sun Yat-sen was elected as the provisional president. Although he advocated the use of red flags with clear skies and white sun, but considering that the five-color flag was originally the official flag of the first and second-rank naval officers of the Qing Dynasty and the military flag of the Beiyang Navy, it was also commonly used in Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang and other provinces during the revolutionary period. In addition, In order to win over Yuan Shikai's defection to the revolution, he continued to endorse it.
The use of flags at this time is very chaotic: the provisional Senate approved the five-color flag as the temporary national flag, the eighteen-star flag as the army flag, the blue sky and white sun on the ground as the navy flag, and the five-color flag was also used as the navy's bow flag. In the same year, the Provisional Senate moved to Beijing to review the national flag case again. Only the army flag was changed to the nineteen-star flag (plus the three eastern provinces), and everything else remained unchanged.
By the time Yuan Shikai became emperor, everything else had been changed, leaving only the five-color flag as the national flag. During this period, Fengjun always used the five-color flag as its military flag, but there was no distinction between the army and navy flags. Until Zhang Hanqing was reorganized in Ningxia and the People's Army was born, the Feng Clan produced two military flags: the old Feng Clan had a five-color flag, and the Young Marshal Clan had a yellow | star-red flag, each with different attributes.
After Sun Yat-sen took office as the extraordinary president in Guangzhou in 1921, he explicitly abolished the five-color flag and the eighteen-star flag, and used the blue sky and white sun flag as the party and military flags, and the blue sky and white sun all over the ground as the national flag. At this time, Zhang Hanqing changed the five-star red flag to the party flag. The government flag was hung high and the government flag also had the five-star red flag as its signboard.
After the power of the Feng clique was transferred to Zhang Hanqing, Fengjun gave up the five-color flag and converted all to the five-star red flag.
Don’t underestimate this flag, it is a symbol of power, a collision of ideas, and a guide to the direction. The historical change of flags in Northeast China was this flag. But it did not die after that. It became the banner of the pro-Japanese government during the Anti-Japanese War and continued to exert its remaining heat
It was at this time that various parties began to argue fiercely around this flag. This is a directional concept: whose product is used in the end marks who wins in the end.
Duan Qirui and other Beiyang factions believe that the five-color flag has been officially promulgated by Yuan Shikai at the time with the "Provisional Presidential Decree" and has been used for 12 years. It has been widely recognized by China and foreign countries, and it is recommended to maintain it. This is easy to understand. After all, he claims to have "created a republic three times". If the flag falls, it is equivalent to erasing his achievements - if Beiyang is gone, how can he talk about his achievements in creating a republic?
Sun Yat-sen has been fighting against the five-color flag for more than ten years. Now that he has the opportunity to overthrow him, of course he will do his part. However, his request to use the Kuomintang's blue sky, white sun and red earth seemed a bit excessive in Zhang Hanqing's opinion: The north and the south have been fighting for so long. If the Kuomintang flag is replaced, does it mean that the north has lost or something? Could it be that the People's Army fought bloody battles on the battlefield to make wedding clothes for others? Is it possible to get something that was not obtained on the battlefield at the negotiation table?
However, the most powerful Zhang Hanqing clique insisted on using the five-star red flag of the People's Party, and both the Kuomintang and the Anhui clique opposed it. The People's Army has an absolute advantage in the military, and if the flag follows theirs, the "National Unification Council" will actually be defeated by the People's Party's united front!
Therefore, it is normal that all parties have not been able to form a unified opinion. This is also the common feature of the so-called Western dishes: a thousand people have the same idea in their hearts.?The main reason for the opposition is that the national flag is the same as the People's Party flag, so the signal sent out to the outside world is that the People's Party represents the Republic of China, which no politician can agree with.
But in the end Sun Yat-sen approved the decision, which was actually a last resort. Because the rumor spread by Zhang Hanqing is that if this decision is rejected by all parties, the People's Party will propose its own political plan and will no longer seek the consent of all parties!
Facing the advantage of the People’s Party, Sun Yat-sen could only compromise. After receiving Zhang Hanqing’s guarantee to modify the party flag, all parties finally agreed to use the five-star red flag as the national flag.
However, they were still fooled by Zhang Hanqing, because at the subsequent Politburo meeting held within the People's Party, Zhang Hanqing proposed a plan to modify the party flag: minus the four small stars on the five-star red flag! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 657 People’s Party | Leading China

What does it mean? Zhang Hanqing explained proudly: "The five-star red flag has become the national flag. Its original meaning is 'the unification of scholars, farmers, industry and businessmen to build a great country under the leadership of the People's Party'. The four small stars represent scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and the one in the middle The red star is the People’s Party. It is only appropriate to use the national flag with four stars removed as the party flag!”
The national flag has been decided, and the party flag was decided by the People’s Party itself and has nothing to do with the multi-sector community. Therefore, in the face of Zhang Hanqing's almost rogue behavior, all walks of life can only scratch their noses.
The national anthem also needs to be changed. Originally, "Qing Yun Ge" was ordered by the Beiyang government as the national anthem. However, this song has only 4 sentences and 16 words over and over again, which is really "insulting to the image of the country."
The "Wuhan Military Academy Song" suggested by Zhang Hanqing was impassioned and reflected the strong and unyielding will of the Chinese nation to not be afraid of foreign aggression. Originally, all parties had opinions, but when the military band arranged by Zhang Hanqing finished playing the song, there was a moment of silence. Everyone was moved by this majestic music, and Sun Yat-sen even raised his arms and said: "Okay!" This set the tone.
The next step is to establish the state and political system of the Republic of China. After many warlord wars and repeated conflicts between democracy and autocracy, all parties agreed that the Republic of China is a country with "sovereignty resting with the people" and its political system will still be a republic. But when it comes to details, another conflict is inevitable.
Because the state system is imaginary, the political system is something that can be seen in reality and determines the interests of all parties.
The Republic of China has always implemented a presidential republic, which is also a modern extension of China’s two thousand years of autocracy. It's just that "China's national conditions" determine that previous presidents were elected from Congress, but Congress cannot effectively restrict the president. It often happens that the responsible prime minister has more power than the president. This is probably what China has learned from. Big feature, right?
A group of people who have drunk foreign ink advocate American-style dishes, but Japan's constitutional monarchy and Italy's parliamentary republic also have markets. China's democratic atmosphere also dictates that it cannot hold general elections like other countries, so all parties cannot agree on how the specific political system should be operated. Fortunately, everyone "elected" Duan Qirui as the buffer, so this issue is not prominent at the moment.
The Feng faction, which has the advantage, adopts the method of boiling frogs in warm water to influence the political situation. Because the People's Party is strong, it has the upper hand in the administration of key state agencies, so Zhang Hanqing does not care about the political system. dispute.
In the new cabinet, Zhang Hanqing’s “Planning Committee” has the most power, not just because he is Zhang Zuolin’s son.
As the name suggests, the "Planning Commission" is a department that combines the overall planning of the country into one and carries out overall weighing and overall distribution. At present, when major matters are under public ownership, this committee is actually the center of the country's political and economic operations. But Zhang Hanqing's reach was even greater. He not only made detailed arrangements for the division of national administrative powers, but also made overall arrangements for the national constitution and national defense.
At the beginning of the founding of the Republic of China, it was declared that it was a republic integrating Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan and other ethnic groups.
In January 1912, Sun Yat-sen, the interim president of the Republic of China, pointed out in the declaration: "The foundation of a country lies in its people. If the Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Hui, and Tibetan areas are combined into one country, then the Han, Manchu, Mongolian, and Hui areas will be united into one country." , Tibetan all the ethnic groups are one, this is called ethnic unity."
He also gave a succinct explanation of the declaration of independence by more than ten provinces after the Wuchang Uprising: "The so-called independence means separation from the Qing court and unity to the provinces. The same is true for Mongolia and Tibet. The actions are the same and there is no divergent trend. , the cardinal is in the center, and the longitude and latitude are around the four solstice, this is called the unification of the territory."
It was emphasized that the independence of each province did not mean an independent kingdom, but a joint action to get rid of the Qing court, and a special statement was given to Tibet, Mongolia and other places. The five-color flag used as the national flag at that time symbolized the unity of the five ethnic groups.
In the promulgation of the "Covenant of the Republic of China" in May 1914, it was reiterated that the territory of the Republic of China follows the territory owned by the former empire, and the people of the Republic of China have no distinction between race, class, and religion, and are all equal under the law.
Because the country was still in a period of tutelage, Zhang Hanqing strongly demanded that the constitution be amended to add "The Republic of China is a republic led by the Chinese People's Party" to Article 1 of the constitution, and amend the equality of the five ethnic groups to the equality of all ethnic groups in the country, and claimed that This is the bottom line he can accept.
The People’s Party | Leading China to write it into the constitution means that it has achieved an orthodox status and unparalleled advantages in politics. Politically, it doesn't matter whether it is a republic or not. What matters is that the Chinese People's Party is the leader.
Who is the leader? How much power does it have? No one can carry it clearly. Since the Constitution is the fundamental law, it will not be written in such detail, but it gives the Fengcun a lot of room to play. Everyone is worried, but after the two decisive battles of He and Fen, and the People's Army has de facto control of the country.In this case, all parties chose peace as your priority and reluctantly agreed to modify this item. Otherwise, do it all over again?
Zhang Hanqing’s method of boiling frogs in warm water gradually allowed the People’s Party to gain absolute political advantage when it became de facto the absolute controlling force in China
The next step is the People’s Army’s own business.
The provinces in North China are under their control. With this backer, the pressure on Northeast China has also been greatly reduced. After the territory was stabilized, the Armed Police Force began to replace the army to fully implement security takeover. The existence of the Northeast Border Guard Army and the Northeast Road Guard Army became redundant, and they were integrated into the base camp headquarters. In this military reform, the two headquarters were abolished. .
Yu Zhen, the former commander of the border defense army, went to North China to participate in the preparations for the North China Command. Wan Fulin, the former commander of the road protection army, served as Zhang Zuoxiang's deputy and was in charge of the Northeast Armed Police Force.
The People's Army and the original Fengjun Army originally had a total of 23 land divisions. After the integration of the Zhili Army, an additional 4 divisions were expanded. These armies form seven major headquarters: Northwest, Central China, South China, East China, North China, Central Garrison, and Base Camp, which are responsible for the security of various regions.
Because they were stationed in Lanzhou, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Jinan, Beijing and Shenyang, they often referred to their troops by the names of their stations at that time. For example, the Central China Command was also called the Wuhan Military Region, and the base camp was also called the Shenyang Military Region.
Compared with the huge army, the navy seems to be negligible: the three fleets plus the base have about 20,000 people, and the two organic marine brigades have a total of 10,000 people
The Air Force is even pitifully small. Not counting the more than 2,000 teachers and students at the Qinhuangdao Air Force School and the hundreds of people in the headquarters, there are only four water jet squadrons and several airport defense personnel. At best, the total number is less than 3,000. .
However, coupled with the huge army group of more than 800,000 people, only about 200,000 troops are enough to deal with the domestic warlords in the southeast, northwest and northwest. At this time, the Feng faction, relying on the Shangfang sword of "the People's Party | Leading China", had the spirit of "holding the emperor to order the princes".

Chapter 658 Unified Currency System
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Next, Zhang Hanqing wanted to rectify the currency system to end the complicated currency situation in the early years of the Republic of China.
In the history of my country’s currency, silver has gradually become a monetary metal since the Han Dynasty. By the Ming Dynasty, silver had been monetized, and China truly became a country that uses silver. However, what is implemented is a silver-two system, which is valued based on the weight of the metal. It is a weighing currency system and has not entered the stage of a currency system.
In the second year of Xuantong (AD 1910), the "Currency Regulations" were promulgated, and the silver standard was officially adopted, with "yuan" as the monetary unit, the weight was Kuping seven coins and two cents, and the fineness was 90%. It was named Qing Silver Coin. However, silver dollars and silver coins are still used together on the market.
After the Revolution of 1911, the National Currency Regulations were promulgated in 1913, which officially stipulated that the silver dollar, which weighs seven cents and two cents and has a fineness of 89%, is the currency unit of our country. However, silver dollars and silver taels are still used together.
China has a vast territory and its currency system has always been complicated and chaotic, which has seriously affected the circulation and transactions of commodities and is not conducive to the development of industrial and agricultural production and the stability of national finance and finance. In order to expand their power, the warlords in each province issued many bonds and banknotes in various places, which were only circulated in their own provinces.
For example, the Feng Clan issued "Fengtian Coupons" and "Feng Xiaoyang" in the Northeast for mandatory use to alleviate financial constraints; for example, Yan Xishan established railway, salt, reclamation and other banking accounts, and established the "Four Bank Accounts" Physical preparation warehouse, and the "Copper Yuan Bureau" was established around 1917. Old-style coins with a copper content of 99.9% were used as raw materials, and three copper coins were used to recast a copper coin that could be used as 20 coins. Internal circulation, etc.
The military-controlled governments in various places printed non-cashable banknotes with legal qualifications, used inflated issuance methods to fill fiscal deficits, and concentrated financial resources for their own use, leading to hyperinflation, which later became an important factor in the collapse of the national economy in many war-torn provinces. reason. This is also one of the important factors why the warlords in the Republic of China changed like a lantern, but they were able to rise again and again.
As long as the currency is unified and the power of collecting and casting is transferred to the central government, the central government's centralized dominance and authority can be guaranteed, just like Qin Shihuang unified the currency after unifying the six countries.
Although this principle is simple, it is difficult to do. Originally, the "National Currency Regulations" promulgated in the second year of the Republic of China officially stipulated that the silver dollar weighing seven cents and two cents and having a fineness of 89% was the currency unit of our country. This is how the "Yuan Datou" silver dollar was minted. However, since the death of Yuan Shikai, warlords have arisen everywhere, and the continuation of the state of war in various places has turned them into vassal states economically and become an independent entity.
Minting and issuing banknotes are the guarantee for the survival of warlords in various places. Of course, the weak central government cannot take back monetary power.
Only when a strong central government emerges can a unified currency be truly put on the table. However, with the improvement of the national economy, even though the silver dollar and silver tael were still used together from the beginning of the Republic of China, the existing currencies in circulation were no longer enough, and it was urgent to add a new batch of currencies.
At Zhang Hanqing’s suggestion, the Nationalist Government announced the “Regulations on the Minting of Silver Standard Currency”:
At the beginning of the Republic of China, a Yuan Datou weighed approximately 26.6971 grams, with a proportion of 88 silver and 12 copper, which means it contained 23.493448 grams of pure silver. Since 1923, the National Government has abolished the two reforms to the Yuan, implemented the silver standard, and unified currency casting rights. The silver standard currency is named "yuan". The weight and fineness of each yuan of the silver standard currency shall not exceed the legal weight and fineness by more than 0.3%. It is also stipulated that all public and private transactions shall be given and received in silver standard currency, and the amount shall be There is no limit on the number of times, this is to prevent wear and tear caused by use.
If the value is defined only by face value, it seems that issuing banknotes has the same effect, but this is just a theory. In the Republic of China, when the country was still very weak, paper money was not accepted by the great powers. Especially for the people who had been in a state of chaos, there was a market for real money.
At the beginning of the New Year, the Nationalist Government implemented the "abolition of the two currencies and the reform of the Yuan" and issued a unified silver coin across the country. Because the country's strength has gradually improved and its circulation has been guaranteed, there seems to be no need to invest so much silver in the new silver dollar.
You must know that due to the efforts of Feng Xi, China’s finances at this time increased more than ten times compared with the official history. For that era, the issuance of so much currency in circulation created a huge demand for silver. Therefore, under Zhang Hanqing's suggestion, the new silver dollar will be slightly lighter, with each coin weighing about 25 grams and containing 80% silver. But the new silver dollar with a face value of one yuan is equivalent to Yuan Datou.
The portrait of the currency has always been the supreme prime minister of a country. Regarding the request within the old Feng clan to use Zhang Zuolin's portrait as the front of the silver coin, Zhang Hanqing defied all opinions and insisted on issuing "Sun Yat-sen's portrait" silver dollar to commemorate Sun Yat-sen's contribution to the Chinese revolution. The great contribution and the selfless sentiments of the People's Party.
With the Bank of China and the restructured China Bank of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, Construction, and Communications as the issuing banks controlled by the state, this is the style of the famous "Sun Datou" in later generations.
ZaishunAfter the bulk is circulated, it is stipulated that no other bank can continue to issue new banknotes. All grain tax payments and the receipt and payment of all public and private funds are limited to silver dollars and cannot be used in cash. Other bank banknotes originally approved and issued by the Ministry of Finance are allowed to be used as usual and will be exchanged for statutory silver dollars by the Ministry of Finance on a regular basis.
Implement the state ownership of gold and silver, prohibit the circulation of gold and silver, and use the nationalized gold and silver as foreign exchange reserves. All banks, shops, and other public and private institutions or individuals hold gold and silver standard coins or other gold and silver coins to produce silver, etc. Silver coins should be exchanged for silver dollars (Yuan Datou or Sun Datou in the new version) to the Issuance Preparation Management Committee or its designated bank starting from the New Year of 1924.
This move ended the tradition of the Kuomintang and other warlords privately minting currency to support their troops. Without money, everything is in vain.
Through the exchange of silver dollars, the major banks under control also found out the details of local banks, especially the Shanghai-Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium on which the Kuomintang relied for survival. Because "real money" cannot be circulated, even if Sun Yat-sen obtains foreign exchange from abroad like before, he cannot use it directly
In order to stabilize the price of the silver dollar against foreign exchange, it was stipulated that the five banks of China, transportation, agriculture, construction, and industry and commerce could buy and sell foreign exchange without restrictions; the value of the silver dollar was expressed by the foreign exchange rate; the legal currency maintained a fixed exchange rate with the US dollar. At that time, it was stipulated that 1 silver dollar was equivalent to 0.5556 US dollars. Maintain a fixed exchange rate.
The reason why the US dollar was used as the standard instead of the British pound that was common at the time was that Zhang Hanqing clearly knew that the United States had already and irreversibly replaced Britain's number one position in the capitalist world.
Historically, the implementation of China's silver standard and the formation of a fixed exchange rate with the British pound caused competition from the United States. Finally, at the end of 1935, the United States changed its silver purchase method, forcing the world silver price to plummet and affecting the stability of China's exchange fund. In May 1936, the Nationalist Government was forced to conclude the "Sino-US Silver Agreement" with the United States. The result was that the Republic of China eventually replaced the silver dollar as a legal currency and became a vassal of the British pound and the US dollar.
Now that China is taking the initiative to align itself with its invisible big brother, the United States, it will naturally have the opportunity for the United States to reciprocate the favor. After all, there will be many places where the United States will be used in the future. Anyway, with the current economic strength of the United Kingdom, it cannot influence a potential big country like China.
The unification of the currency system is an advancement of China’s currency system. After its implementation, it has played a certain positive role in the development of social economy. It has also caused all parties to completely lose the ability to compete with the central government. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

While the north was sharpening its sword against the National Army, there was also a breakthrough in the situation in the southeast.
The People's Army peacefully controlled Shanghai. Lu Yongxiang's subordinate He Fenglin led the police to retreat to Zhejiang. There was no major conflict between the two sides. This gave the generals on both sides of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang front lines some comfort after hearing the news.
According to Shanghai's established policy of focusing on "stability", the "Military Control Commission" headed by Liu Shangqing did not deprive Lu Yongxiang of his vested interests: his, He Fenglin and other Zhejiang generals' properties, shops, and enterprises in Shanghai were all banned as long as they were operated legally. It is regarded as a normal industry and is protected by the government.
"It's better for Jiangsu and Zhejiang to be peaceful, and it would be bad for everyone if it turns into a mess."
“However, with economic power and military and political advantages, if we don’t strike while the iron is hot and conquer the southeast, this is definitely not what a professional politician should do. The wealth of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is well-known in ancient and modern times. If we can contribute to the country as soon as possible, one in the south and one in the north, it can add considerable strength to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Duan Qirui of the Anhui Clique played a nominal role in this "tripartite anti-straight" campaign, but in the end he did not receive any benefits and became only a nominal head of state. Lu Yongxiang, the general of the Anhui clique and the governor of Zhejiang, originally wanted to make a difference and join forces to seize the truth. However, under the pressure of the People's Army's absolute superiority, his stance retreated sharply, and he changed from seeking to be the commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang-Shanghai coalition forces to favoring a corner of Zhejiang.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing was determined to eliminate the remaining political power of the Anhui clique. In the name of the central government, he appointed the restless Fujian Supervisor Sun Chuanfang to concurrently serve as the Fujian-Zhejiang Border Defense Supervisor. In essence, he allowed Sun Chuanfang to intervene in Zhejiang affairs more honestly. .
Sun Chuanfang has long wanted to use Fujian as a base to develop into Zhejiang, and he already has three divisions of troops at his disposal. This is one of the reasons why he dared to challenge Lu Yongxiang.
He has long wanted to take over Zhejiang. In his opinion, Zhejiang, which is rich in products, is much better than Fujian and has the potential for development. After the People's Party and the Fengtian faction gradually took control of the central and major local governments, and as one after another once all-powerful figures withdrew from the stage of history, his fear of the future became increasingly stronger, and he spared no effort in actions that could expand his power.
Due to the ineffective fighting of the Zhejiang Army and the internal strife in the Second Division of the Zhejiang Army, Sun Chuanfang's army was able to advance straight into the important area of ??Xianxia Pass. He sent a message saying: "Autumn is high and horses are fat, which is a good time to fight and have fun. You and I can hunt under the city of Zhuji, how wonderful it is!"
You must know that Sun Chuanfang is known as the "warlike devil". In his messages to others, he often says "the autumn is high and the horses are fat, and it is a good time to fight for fun", regardless of whether it is the twelfth lunar month of winter or the scorching sun.
Lu Yongxiang lost Wenzhou and Jinhua, and did not dare to improve his capabilities. He wanted to move the Zhejiang Army Headquarters to Longhua, Shanghai, and began to make plans to abandon Zhejiang. In a neutral place, he could become a rich man even if it was not possible.
But Zhang Hanqing certainly did not want a one-sided military situation to occur and allow Sun Chuanfang to become powerful. He ordered the South China People's Army to advance deep into Fujian, so that Sun Chuanfang did not dare to attack Zhejiang with all his strength. Later, he "responded" to Duan Qirui's call and appointed Lu Yongxiang as the patrol envoy to Zhejiang to also handle civil affairs.
Since you are a government official, you should have the responsibility to protect your territory. If you want to leave, there is no way. Not only that, the previously lost territory of Zhejiang must be recovered by me!
It’s clear that both sides are going to kill each other. They both came out in a hail of bullets. Who doesn’t have a few pounds? Zhang Hanqing originally wanted to wait until they were done fighting and come directly to collect the bodies, but when Sun Chuanfang defeated Zhuji and forced him into Xiaoshan, the two sides were separated by the Qiantang River.
What's going on? How could Sun Chuanfang change his mind and not go all out to win Hangzhou? That’s where the essence of Zhejiang lies! Jiang Baili, who had joined Tong Linge's First Division in Pingwang, Suzhou, was waiting to clear up the mess. He was puzzled. In order to take advantage of the greatest advantage with the least force, the young marshal far away in Beijing worked with him to set up this situation, which was to make the two of them kill each other!
After getting over the addiction of being the commander of the front army, he was going to return to Beijing to take up a post. Originally, this position was just gold-plated. It is true that Sun Liechen was a veteran of the Fengcian faction, but he was a real man and could easily serve as the commander-in-chief of the People's Army. However, he was not good at serving as the chairman of the National Defense Commission and fighting with powerful local factions.
In Zhang Hanqing’s mind, the future Minister of Defense must be Jiang Baili, but as he is very likely to be promoted to the first batch of generals, he can’t even lead troops!
Although the young marshal asked him to come here with gold, he can't return without success, right? Han Linchun, Guo Songling, Ji Yiqiaoall of them have made dazzling contributions in every aspect.
what to do? It is true that there are five divisions in hand, but the 4th Division is holding Nanjing, the 12th Division is guarding Shanghai, the 22nd Division is controlling northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui, and the 28th Division has gradually returned to Shandong to form the North China Headquarters in accordance with Zhang Hanqing's secret order. .
Zhang Zongchangwei in ShandongHe is too big to be removed, and his tyrannical governance has affected the reputation of the People's Party. Both the old and young marshals want to get rid of him, but they are afraid of his 30,000-strong "Foreign Legion". This time, the main force of the 28th Division was transferred, and it was made clear that we would deal with him. This is the overall situation and must be guaranteed.
With a mere 12th Division, it would be difficult to defeat Lu Yongxiang, who has 60,000 to 70,000 men, and Sun Chuanfang, who has three divisions! But no matter how difficult it is, it can be achieved. With the young marshal's consistent trust and unconditional support, no matter what, we have to help him achieve peace in East China before leaving office!
Now the three sides are divided: in the south is the South China People's Army, fighting against Sun Chuanfang's rear army; in the north facing Sun Chuanfang across the Qiantang River is Lu Yongxiang, and behind Lu is Tong Linge's 1st Division of the People's Army. When Sun and Lu ceased fighting, there must have been a master who made clear their interests, forcing them to "depend on each other."
Although their army's combat effectiveness is weaker than that of the People's Army, it cannot withstand large numbers of people and cannot retreat the defeated troops into Shanghai. Otherwise, it will cause chaos. Foreign governments may come to protest again or simply threaten to send troops. The political impact will be Too bad.
He guessed correctly. Someone indeed proposed to the warring parties a strategy of stopping attacking each other and jointly supporting Zhejiang and Fujian to cope with the defeat of the People's Army. This person was Zhang Qun, the veteran of the Kuomintang in history and who lived longer than Zhang Xueliang. At this time, he served as the Kuomintang Consultation of the Second Army Corps.
The Nationalist Army is weak, and under heavy pressure from the People’s Party, many people are secretly looking for ways to break the situation. The princes of the Jin Dynasty and the southwestern provinces all thought about it. It was not until the People's Army formed a north-south attack on Sun and Lu that everyone began to think: The People's Army is making contacts far away and attacking close by!
Once Zhejiang and Fujian are conquered, the Nationalist Army will be the only one left in China except for the remote southwest and Shanxi, which is dangerous to the Taihang and Yellow Rivers. The National Army without any foundation, surrounded by the People's Army on all sides, will not even have any room for maneuver! Therefore, the top priority is to destroy the People's Army's control over Zhejiang and Fujian.
As long as Zhejiang and Fujian are united, the People's Army may not be able to win it for a while. If both parties can be persuaded to join the Kuomintang faction, and the three parties work together, and Sun Yat-sen is here, the Feng faction will have no choice but to do it, right?

Zhang Qun once served as the staff officer of the Zhejiang Army of the Kuomintang when he was defending the country against Yuan Dynasty. His wife was from Suzhou, so she had old ties with many of Lu Yongxiang's subordinates. He made his interests clear to Lu Yongxiang and said: "The purpose of Fengxi is to let the Governor and Sun Governor consume each other's strength so that he can reap the benefits."
Lu Yongxiang sighed and said: "How could I not know? But when I met Sun Demon King, I did not fight to the death and ran away. Even if I had the responsibility of abandoning the land, it would also make it difficult to govern. Anyway, the worst is to lose, and I will lose everything. I also have An explanation!"
Zhang Qun smiled and said: "The Governor has five divisions and five brigades, and he has been stationed in Zhejiang for a long time. He has always had prestige. Why do you say such depressing words? I think that although Governor Sun seems to be reckless, he is actually a very shrewd person. Otherwise, he would have been able to Jiangxi avoided the restriction of the young marshal and retreated to Fujian?
He is a migrant who managed to stabilize his situation in Fujian through three tricks, five tricks and two tricks. Who would believe it without two tricks? I think he was forced to give up Fujian and wanted to get the prosperous Zhejiang! If the governor agrees, I will persuade the Sun and Governor families to stop fighting, or simply form an alliance, so that the Feng clan will not dare to interfere with Fujian and Zhejiang in the short term. "
If this can be done, of course it would be good. Although the area north of the Qiantang River is only a quarter of the size of Zhejiang, it is undoubtedly the richest place in Zhejiang. If Sun Chuanfang stopped fighting, he would be happy to take sides——at worst, he would step down and go to Shanghai, which is the worst-case scenario anyway!
Zhang Qun encountered big trouble when trying to persuade Sun Chuanfang.
Of course, Sun Chuanfang saw through the intentions of the Fengcian faction. After Zhang Hanqing appointed him as the inspection envoy to Fujian and Zhejiang and the military affairs supervisor of Zhejiang in the name of the central government, he brought all Fujian under the central government's control, allowing Sun Chuanfang to work hard for a year to separate Fujian. His embrace also ruined his plans to seize Zhejiang and then combine the two provinces to become a local warlord, forcing him to go all out to carry out military operations against Lu Yongxiang.
But he could only bite the bullet and move forward. Just like Zhang Hanqing sent someone to tell him: "I don't care what you think, I only care about your strength"! The People's Army wants him and Lu Yongxiang to kill each other. This is a conspiracy. What can he do?
Of course Sun Chuanfang did not dare to fight with the People's Army, otherwise he would soon find that the People's Army from all directions were surrounding him. Even though he was a warlord, he also knew that the times were different: not only could the Feng clique kill him in seconds, but they could also make him politically sentenced to death.
It is okay to strike with Lu Yongxiang, but it is not wise to form an alliance: after Fujian is controlled by the People's Army, the People's Army needs to digest it for a while. As long as he holds Xianxia Pass, he will basically be blocking the passage from Fujian and Jiangxi into Zhejiang, and he will be safe. If the People's Army wants to take action, it will only start in northern Zhejiang, which is more convenient.
With Lu Yongxiang’s strength, seeing that there were 60,000 to 70,000 people but he could be defeated by him all the way, one can imagine the combat effectiveness of his army. He has seen with his own eyes the interests of the People's Army, and for Lu Yongxiang's sake, he will never rescue them. In the alliance, Lu Yongxiang has needs, not him.
After the defeat of the Zhejiang Army, it will most likely be incorporated. Jiang Baili, the supreme commander of East China appointed by Zhang Hanqing, has already sent people to tell him that as long as he promises not to embarrass the People's Army, he can be given a relatively high position in the newly built East China Headquarters. . Jiang Baili's envoy also hinted that the logistics minister and equipment minister would be his choice.
Both of these positions are very partial and unattractive to warlords who lead troops to fight. But only because of this, Sun Chuanfang believed that the People's Army's commitment was serious.
Now that he has thought of obeying the Feng clan for the sake of justice, can he still live a good life without seeing Zhang Zongchang? But if he knew that Zhang Hanqing was deliberately dealing with Zhang Zongchang, would he change his mind and become a firm resister? God knows!
Therefore, he did not agree with Zhang Qun’s theory of uniting with Lu. In the end, in order to cheer him up, Zhang Qun finally came up with the idea of ??uniting the Kuomintang, Sun, and Lu to fight against the Feng clique.
“Haha, this is the purpose of his coming, right? Sun Chuanfang was laughing secretly. If Jiang Baili's people hadn't told him that Feng Yuxiang had been successfully ousted by Zhang Hanqing and was about to "go abroad" to avoid the limelight, he would have meant something like this - in the southeast area, the Kuomintang's reputation is really good!
“However, under Sun Yat-sen’s eyes, Feng Yuxiang, the biggest contributor to the three-party anti-Zhili clique’s defeat and the KMT’s top military cadre, fell out of office in despair. This shows that the KMT is not as sharp as Zhang Qun said. The support for one's own people is so weak, let alone an outsider?
“Besides, the two sides are thousands of miles apart. If the People’s Army really attacks him, I guess the National Army will just look back and sigh and can only provide moral support, right? In this case, we must not jump out and go against the People's Army. Of course, the Kuomintang is also dating for the time being - who knows what will happen in the future?
" Sun Chuanfang is also a talented person. Although he is a warlord who does all kinds of evil, he is very eloquent. HeHe was eloquent in discussing the past and the present. For a while, Zhang Qun, who was famous for his speeches, could not convince him. He laughed angrily and said, "I don't think you are a soldier, but more like a politician."
These words touched Sun Chuanfang's pain point. He said angrily: "I am not a politician! I am most opposed to politicians, and my son will not let him become a politician. Politicians are like prostitutes who are busy with the new and the old. I’m a real warlord!”
It’s really intoxicating to reason with people like this. Zhang Qun stamped his feet angrily and said, "If you don't listen to me today, you will regret it in the future!"
Sun Chuanfang said slowly: "If you are drunk today, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies tomorrow!"
At this time, a wave of rebellion was brewing in Hangzhou, and the initiator was Xia Chao, the Zhejiang police chief. He was originally feared by Lu Yongxiang, and He Fenglin brought thousands of military police from Shanghai to serve as the security commander of Hangzhou City, and immediately deprived him of his power, which made him very unhappy.
Fighting the land with outsiders and lost the ground, but the civil war became inside! Xia Chao's power was not weak at first, but when the Zhejiang army was defeated and retreated to Jiangbei, his advantage no longer existed. Even after losing the battle, Lu Yongxiang still had tens of thousands of people here, and the police had no chance of winning in a fight with the army.
Are you just going to withdraw from the stage of history? No one wants to do that. Just as Xia Chao was worrying about his future, the people sent by Jiang Baili arrived.
Unlike Zhang Hanqing, Jiang Baili didn't have that many tricks up his sleeve. His original words were very direct, but Xia Chao immediately believed them. Although the two parties had never met at this time, Jiang Baili's reputation was excellent.
He promised Xia Chao that if he made great contributions in this battle, the central government would not be stingy with rewards. The position of Zhejiang Police Director cannot be lost.
This made Xia Chao think: maybe it would be a good idea to join the People's Army. The Fengxie had no foundation in Jiangnan. As far as he knew, in many provinces, the governors used the original troops. If they had a share of credit for driving away Lu? He stated that he would obey the orders of the People's Army.

Chapter 661: Boiling Frogs in Warm Water (Part 1)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Relying on his intricate connections and many years of business operations in Zhejiang, Xia Chao ordered the police stationed in Jiashan, Jiaxing, and Tongxiang to surrender to the People's Army, and took the initiative to lead the way, leading the People's Army behind the Zhejiang Army's defense line, and then launched a sudden attack.
Lu Yongxiang was hesitant to take action against the People's Army. His subordinates knew what he was thinking, and of course they did not dare to be the enemy of the People's Army. They had no choice but to break through the entire defense line in northern Zhejiang, and the People's Army was defeated in three days. Then arrived in Yuhang.
Jiang Baili demanded a truce in Zhejiang and Fujian in the name of the central government while moving forward. He sent people to contact Lu Yongxiang, and as long as he could guarantee the peaceful handover of northern Zhejiang and the army, he could be guaranteed to be the governor of Zhejiang. He sent someone to say: "This is the final decision!"
Lu Yongxiang is in a weak position militarily. This is probably the best outcome. Of course, we can only respond positively.
This time, Sun Chuanfang was riding a tiger with difficulty, unable to advance or retreat. Fighting was against the will of the people and against the central government. The People's Army just openly used force against him. With his small number of men, it would be a bit unbelievable to be able to defeat the People's Army; there was no way to retreat. The South China People's Army was blocked at the entrance of Wuyanling and Fenshui Pass; to the west, that was the base camp of the People's Army.
At the critical moment, the same person who reported the news to Lu Yongxiang ran directly from Hangzhou to Zhuji, met with Sun Chuanfang, and conveyed the olive branch or lifebuoy thrown by Jiang Baili on the order of Zhang Hanqing: "If the Jiangsu-Zhejiang issue is resolved peacefully, brother, there is still a big chance." Those who have contributed to the country.”
For this reason, he will be appointed as the Minister of Equipment of the Nanjing Military Region, which is a nominal way out. Of course, as a rule, his army must be reorganized.
This is purely bullying the small and using power to dominate others, but the situation is like this, so it can only be like this.
In this battle, the People's Army did not fire a single shot. Not only did they gain territory in Zhejiang, which is rich in resources, they also captured Fujian and captured 4 divisions and 1 mixed brigade. The key is that East China, South China, Central China, and North China have since been connected into one, and the Fengtian territory has been unprecedentedly large and has no barriers.
In order to deprive the original powerful factions of their military power, all miscellaneous divisions and brigades were cancelled. The officers were screened and either went to Nanjing to receive training from the Political Department or were relieved of their military duties; while the soldiers were selected on a voluntary basis and the best were retained to join the various units of the East China People's Army.
Jiang Baili transferred a man from each division to form a new division. Ding Xichun, a graduate of the Northeast Lecture Hall, was appointed as the commander of the new 13th Division, stationed in Xuzhou.
Disrupting the formation of surrendered troops and generals from all walks of life to re-form new troops is the experience gained by the People's Army during its previous recruitments, and it has proven successful time and time again. It's just that the 13th Division came from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It was not stationed locally but was stationed in the distant Xuzhou. This made Zhang Zongchang have to be suspicious.
He has been a pleasant Shandong governor for half a year, and he misses these days very much. Shandong Governor He Siyuan is a native of Shandong and comes from a scholarly family. There is nothing he can do against a rough warlord like him.
Fortunately, according to the tradition of the Feng clan, the main army cannot dominate the government. Although Zhang Zongchang is domineering, he cannot openly interfere in political affairs. This is thanks to Zhang Hanqing's strict implementation of the system of separation of military and political affairs from the beginning of the establishment of the Fengtian system. Otherwise, the people of Shandong would have suffered a great disaster, and they would indeed have suffered a lot in official history.
Even so, Shandong was still angered by him. He himself knew that it would be strange if the central government did not have the idea of ????changing the coach. Nowadays, governors are being abolished all over the country, and even the governors who have changed their names have been eliminated from the Fengcian territory. Shandong will certainly not be spared.
Rather than being beaten to the end, it is better to take the initiative to show your integrity. Fortunately, because of his merits and attitude, there is no doubt that the young commander will choose him to use him elsewhere. Although he didn't have much contact with Zhang Hanqing, he always behaved respectfully in front of the young marshal.
Zhang Hanqing viewed Zhang Zongchang’s sudden resignation as Shandong Governor in reverse. This guy is a talent, he knows how to make progress by retreating!
"A military man resigns unless he is stupid. Zhang Zongchang is not stupid. He still has quick wits. Otherwise, he can write so many poems?"
Although he really did not like Zhang Hanqing, the performance of the "White Russian Corps" was really good, and they were deeply impressed during the Battle of Tianjin. In addition, he handed over Wen Shude's Bohai fleet to Guo Songling in its entirety, which was a great achievement. Although I really wanted to take the opportunity to capture him, I still felt that it was unreasonable - comparing the merits and demerits, for Zhang Zongchang of the Feng clan, the merits definitely outweighed the faults!
Treating a person who has made great achievements like this, even if he is a big boss, will make people feel cold.
Zhang Zongchang and the senior officials of the Feng Clan have old relationships. They have dealt with the old commander and the young commander as well as the newly appointed naval commander Guo Songling. They feel that it is more cost-effective and more reliable to use the Shandong governor position to seek the commander of the North China People's Army that will be established soon. .
“And I heard that Jinan will be the base of the new headquarters, so there is no need to move.
In this way, Zhang Zongchang became another military man after Sun Chuanfang who took the initiative to "resign" from the post of supervisor. When the news came, the Propaganda Department of the People's Party exaggerated it very well and did not hesitate to write about him. He said that he had taken into account the overall situation and set a good example for the reunification of China, which made him very excited for a while.
Now within the Fengcian faction, the military governors and governors who were active for more than ten years in the early Republic of China have finally been buried in the pile of history. The local armed separatist forces were finally eliminated, of course, within the Feng clique.
It’s just that his new position has not been appointed yet.
His feet were suddenly hanging in the air.
There is no way, Zhang Zongchang's reputation is really bad, many of the elders of the Feng clan can't stand him, and the newer people's army leaders are even more ashamed to associate with him. Commander of the North China People's Army, such an important position, not to mention that Zhang Hanqing didn't want to give it to him in the first place. Even if he really wanted to give it to him, he had to take into account the opposition within the army.
Then just wait
"This wait lasted for a month, and Zhang Zongchang's heart felt cold by the time he waited.
Without the supervisory position, just relying on the title of commander of the "White Russian Army" will be laid off sooner or later. No matter how you look at it, this "White Russian Army" is a bit nondescript in China There is no such thing in the serious People's Army!
Of course, he also has the position of deputy commander-in-chief of the navy, but Zhang Zongchang, who is accustomed to land movements, does not take it seriously at all. Besides, now he has no control over the affairs of the Bohai Fleet - the people's army The military system is that the commander issues military orders and the chief of staff signs them. There is really nothing to do with deputy positions.
Seemingly to comfort him, Zhang Hanqing called him personally to ask him to calm down, saying that there were still different opinions on his arrangements within the army and that they needed to unify their thoughts. Linlu said that he would seriously consider his merits and that he would fight for him no matter what.
This made Zhang Zongchang burst into tears of gratitude. Zhang Hanqing personally promised it, which was more useful to him than taking ten reassurance pills.
Furthermore, Zhang Hanqing secured for him the supplies of the "White Russian Army" - the General Logistics Department and the General Armament Department of the Military Commission were directly responsible, and there was no political department, showing great trust in him. Now, this largest private armed force in China has been completely legalized, and he is still in charge!
So, later, Zhang Hanqing called him with a slightly apologetic tone and said that after careful discussion and a vote by the Military Commission, he had lost the opportunity to compete for the commander of the North China People's Army. This made him very sad and anxious again.
Then the candidates were announced. When he learned that the new commander was Yu Zhen, the veteran of the Feng Clan, Zhang Zongchang was relieved again: How could he say that he was not qualified enough in the Feng Clan? Yu Zhen was a veteran who was in the same palace as Guo Songling, and even had more seniority. It is not unfair for him to lose to someone who is even better than him.
How about the deputy commander?
Neither. The commander of the 28th Division, Jing Youyan, was the commander-in-chief of one of the five main divisions of the People's Army and also performed outstandingly in the Zhili-Fengtian War. The 28th Division is based in North China, and Jing Youyan's voice is very high. He is a rookie who came up from the army, so the young marshal must make some choices, right?
It seems that the only option is to seek the position of chief of staff. As for the director of the political department, he knew that he was not the material to avoid making people laugh.
Don’t tell me, he is really self-aware. When Zhang Hanqing was thinking about the candidates for the main officers of the North China Command, the new position given to Zhang Zongchang was chief of staff.
Considering the need for stability in Shandong and the psychology of the surrendered generals, Zhang Hanqing had no intention of capturing Zhang Zongchang at this time. After all, he had followed the Feng clan from the beginning. He was a rough and treacherous character, but he was still very loyal to himself. The key was that he was still of some use, and he still had an elite army in his hands.
After the National Army entered Beijing, it was not that they didn’t think about where they would settle down in the future. The People’s Army in Henan was nearby to recruit direct descendants. Shanxi was already out of reach, so let’s not talk about Tianjin. Only Shandong was a good place to commit oneself to. The people of Shandong have been fierce since ancient times. If you work here for a period of time, you will not have to worry about recruiting hundreds of thousands of people.
You must know that since Zhang Zongchang entered this place, he had recruited as many as 100,000 soldiers in less than a year. This was one of the reasons why the Feng faction was still wary of him, so in the name of eliminating the bad and keeping the good, he was only allowed to retain one new division, and selected some of the personnel to be converted into the armed police force, eliminating half of them.
When the Nationalist Army wanted to enter Shandong in the name of pursuing Wu Peifu, Zhang Zongchang unexpectedly cut off his face and personally led troops to block them outside Dezhou. In the end, Zhang Hanqing came out to smooth things over and allowed them to station in various places in Baoding. Of course, this negotiation also established Zhang Zongchang's legal status in Shandong, because in order to prevent the National Army from entering Shandong, Zhang Hanqing had said that Shandong would be autonomous
In the newly established North China People's Army Headquarters, Commander Yu Zhen, Deputy Commander Jing Youyan, Chief of Staff Zhang Zongchang, and Director of the Political Department He Zhuguo have jurisdiction over the 28th Division, the Foreign Legion, and the New 17th Division. Although the 17th Division was established by Zhang Zongchang, Hu Xianmei, who graduated from the Northeast Martial Arts Hall, served as the division commander as usual. Hu Xianmei was originally from the 28th Division and was Jing Youyan's deputy. His promotion not only received the full support of the 28th Division, but also resisted Zhang Zongchang's influence in the 17th Division. It was the beginning of the dilution of the Feng clique in Shandong. .
"This is true for our own people, let alone the National Army. The military expenditures of the former National Army of Feng Yuxiang and Sun Yue were controlled by the Ministry of Finance under the Finance and Economics Committee, which was dominated by the People's Party. After experiencing various exclusion measures such as delays, deductions, and reductions, Feng's agents Zhang Zhijiang and Sun Yue couldn't hold it any longer.

At the beginning of the year, the National Revolutionary Army mutinied due to lack of pay. Duan Qirui, in power, was informed by Zhang Hanqing and instead ordered Zhang Zhijiang and Sun Yue to restrain Zhang Zhijiang and Sun Yue on the grounds that "the revolutionary army ignored the overall situation of peaceful reunification and intended to destroy the hard-won stability." Army, don't cause trouble. He said angrily: "The national finances are hard-won. Now that the political situation is generally unified, it is no longer appropriate to retain so many troops. If your ministry insists on paying, I can only solve the problem by reducing the number of troops!"
Sun Yue did not dare to challenge Zhang Hanqing, but he dared to angrily ask Duan Qirui: "Why can Fengjun get sufficient protection?"
Duan Qirui said calmly: "Fengjun's military expenditures do not come from the Ministry of Finance. If Marshal Gu Niantong was not of the revolutionary lineage and entrusted the Ministry of Finance to do everything possible to meet the needs, your army would have been out of food long ago!"
Nowadays, the political and economic center of Northeast China is gradually shifting to the central government. The real power of the central government is in the hands of the former "general office" directors in Northeast China. Basically, there are two systems with the committees: the committee takes the name, and the general office takes it seriously. The thing that exists - right. Even the departments in each province under the Fengxian dynasty report their work to the corresponding "general department". What the committee can control is their status.
Soon after, Zhang Hanqing forcibly annexed the committee and formed ministries on the pretext that the coexistence of the committee and the "general offices" was a waste of administrative resources, euphemistically calling it "one team, two systems."
He doesn’t even want the last fig leaf!
But there are few opponents. They are well aware of the strength of the Feng family. Even the operation of the central government requires other people to pay for it, so when it comes to military expenditures, we can only rely on others.
Zhang Hanqing’s strategy of boiling a frog in warm water is really too much to struggle with!
The Kuomintang did want to provide relief, but Zhang Hanqing implemented military control in the name of Shanghai's initial surrender and controlled the flow of funds in Shanghai. Besides, all the major banks in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region are already in the hands of Feng Xi, so it is not easy to mobilize so much cash.
Having no choice but to do so, Sun and Zhang approached Pan Fu, Zhang Zuolin’s important assistant and chairman of the Financial and Economic Committee, demanding the same treatment as the People’s Army. Pan Fu had received instructions from the young commander that as the country was undergoing vigorous construction and funds were tight, it was appropriate to unify military orders and reduce the number of the National Revolutionary Army at this time.
The National Defense Commission has already cut off the supply of equipment to the National Revolutionary Army, making the two of them rootless.
As a last resort, Sun Yue proposed that the country should disband the army and asked for severance pay. Only then did Pan Fu "squeeze" 2 million yuan, and under the supervision of the National Defense Committee, he demobilized all more than 30,000 people from the Second Army of the National Revolutionary Army, while Sun Yue assumed the post of National Defense Committee member in name only and began to live a political life. The "secluded" life on the Internet.
With Sun Yue as an example, Zhang Zhijiang also felt bad. After Zhang Zuolin took control of Beijing, Feng Yuxiang transferred his main force to Baoding. The station was bordering Yan Xishan's Jin army. He went to Shanxi to hold talks with Yan Xishan in the name of negotiating the station of border guards between Shanxi and Zhizhi.
Although Yan Xishan had both sides during the warlord era, he tried to protect himself by going up and down. However, with the disintegration of the Zhili clique and the loss of power of the National Revolutionary Army, it is inevitable to feel a sense of loss.
Under the pressure of Zhang Hanqing's "unified military and political orders", he hesitated again and again, weighed the pros and cons, and felt that the People's Army seemed to have every attempt to defeat it, so he prepared to join forces with Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren of Guangxi, the four giants of the Sichuan Army and the governors of Yunnan and Guizhou, and The center resisted. Feng Yuxiang's arrival was exactly what he wanted.
As worthy of being a wealthy Shanxi governor, Yan Xishan gave away 200,000 silver dollars as military pay, which was enough to maintain the operation of Feng's army for several months. But the cunning Yan Xishan also had a hand. He later used clever means to strangle Feng Jun's neck with economic means, and bribed some of his senior officers. For example, in official history, there are three friends who defected on the battlefield. , Han Fuqu and his ilk.
Without Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Zhijiang could not completely control this team, which made some generals of the National Army start to flirt with each other. In the end, Zhang Zhijiang and Yan Xishan became brothers.
The approach of Yan and Feng Xi made Zhang Hanqing suddenly vigilant. Historically, it was these two people, together with Li Zongren of Guangxi, who jointly launched the massive "Central Plains War", which pushed China's great unification situation brought about by the "Northeast Changing Flag" to fragmentation. The country's vitality was seriously damaged, and Japan was in vain. I picked up a big bargain and was able to boldly carry out the "September 18th Movement"!
Although the People's Army had a large number of soldiers, they did not dare to push him too far and pushed him into the arms of his opponents, so he had no choice but to resume his military expenditures. Although the country is nominally unified and the armies of all parties are restrained by the "National Defense Committee", it is even more difficult for Zhang Hanqing to join Feng Yuxiang's team.
He has always called for the unification of military power, but in this troubled world where a gun is king, which warlord is willing to hand over his greatest guarantee??Someone else?
No matter what, how can you allow others to sleep soundly next to the couch? There are Feng and Yan Bu on the side, and there are powerful local factions such as Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Yunnan outside. They must also be prepared for the Kuomintang to make waves unexpectedly. During this period, it is no exaggeration to describe Zhang Hanqing’s feelings as trembling and walking on thin ice.
When the situation at home and abroad turns in an extremely favorable direction for Zhang Hanqing, Zhang Hanqing's determination to seek unification by force from local warlords will never change. However, the southwestern provinces are far away and vast, and are destined to be a protracted war. Before using troops against them, the problems in the rear must be solved.
The army of the non-Fengcian faction is encroaching, and the political consolidation is also strengthening. Following the "co-operation" of various committees and ministries, candidates for ministers of various cabinet ministries have also emerged.
Of the 27 ministries and commissions of the central government, the Fengzhi faction has undoubtedly won the majority, but they are basically entity units. Among the remaining quotas, great sincerity has been shown: 8 people from other factions have entered the new cabinet, which has made the outside world's voices questioning the dictatorship of the Feng faction much quieter.
Sun Yat-sen volunteered and fulfilled his wish to serve as the chairman of the Transportation Committee, which gave comfort to the Kuomintang. Needless to say, the importance of railways to China's economic development. For the first time, the Kuomintang looked down on the entire country from a national perspective, which was of extraordinary significance.
Some socially influential people have held important positions: Ma Yinchu was appointed Minister of Education, Kuomintang member Lin Xiang was appointed Minister of Justice, Liang Qichao was appointed Minister of Culture, and Hu Shi was appointed Minister of Labor and Social Security.
Gu Weijun, who is already a member of the People’s Party, will be appointed as the Minister of Foreign Affairs without any doubt;
Xiong Xiling, who is enthusiastic about public welfare, took office as the Minister of Civil Affairs. This is the happiest thing for him in many years. In the past, he used his fame and face to collect charity funds from all walks of life, but now the government allocates relief funds for him to spend. The gap between the two began when the People's Party led China. So on many matters, he also used his reputation to give the People's Party a platform.
Allowing people outside the party to enter the government and hold such important positions is either due to the need for united front work at this stage or because there are so many positions at once and there is a lack of corresponding senior cadres in the People's Party.
"The government should only appoint people based on merit rather than close relatives. "There is no party within the party and imperial ideas; there are no factions outside the party and there are all kinds of strange things." If everything is given to the Fengcian clique and the People's Party, what is the difference between it and the new warlords? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 663 Trip to the Soviet Union
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
“Beijing’s rare calmness is one of the signs of the political leadership and people’s harmony, which is the prosperity of culture. At the end of December, Xu Zhimo, Hu Shi, Liang Shiqiu, Chen Yuan, Wen Yiduo and others established the Crescent Society in Beijing, with Zhang Hanqing's full support.
The prosperity of culture is one of the signs of a developed country. When the Han Dynasty was strong, the glory of Han Fu reached its peak in the history of literature; when the Tang Dynasty was strong, the names of poets and saints went down in history. How can the People's Party, which claims to represent advanced culture, not be the drummer of culture?
With the political stability in the north, Zhang Hanqing has time to pay attention to the situation in the world. This is the first time in seven years that he has carefully examined the world.
Japan is like a wounded wolf, licking its wounds after the Great Kanto Earthquake, waiting for an opportunity to bite China hard to make up for its losses;
Britain and France are recovering their strength, and they are also silently watching China thousands of miles away, examining her future;
The United States proudly stretched out its arms and announced to the world that "in general, the United States' business is to do business" and began its period of rapid economic growth, the so-called "Roaring Twenties";
"The Soviet Union, on the other hand, closed its doors and concentrated on development. The world of the twentieth century is a "peaceful" world by any calculation.
Now is a good opportunity for China to develop its economy. It is the guiding ideology of China's diplomacy to ease relations with all countries as much as possible. The Soviet Union, its largest neighbor, has the opportunity to exchange knowledge and make progress with China.
As the Fengcian faction grew, it maintained important relations with Russia and later the Soviet Union. If the Middle East Road and the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank added to the strength of the Fengcian faction, the howitzers exchanged with the Soviet Union for food and other supplies strengthened the strength of the People's Army. As relations between countries tend to ease, can China form a deeper and closer partnership with the Soviet Union?
Because major arsenals, especially the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, have been brought under their control, and cars from the Tianjin Automobile Factory have gradually entered the artillery regiments of various divisions, it is no longer appropriate to continue to manufacture mountain artillery that lags behind the times, and small-caliber grenades are not suitable for modern The army has insufficient firepower.
However, European and American arms exports to China were completely blocked at the request of Japan, and the People's Army was looking forward to getting help from the Soviet Union.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing decided to go to the Soviet Union in person to repair the previously damaged bilateral relations, experience firsthand the strength of this northern nation, and conduct on-site inspections of its political, economic, and military achievements, so as to provide reference for the People's Party in governing China.
Zhang Hanqing has wanted to go to the Soviet Union for a long time.
In his previous life in the early 1990s, he bemoaned the overnight disintegration of the largest socialist country in the world. As a loyal lover of history, he also tried hard to explain the profound reasons and inevitability based on the information he knew. How this huge empire, which has been a strong force against the superpower the United States for more than half a century, rose step by step from poverty, backwardness and strife, and then declined step by step, is something he could not have imagined in his previous life. The mystery of belief.
He can still clearly remember the great purge of counter-revolutionaries in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, and the resulting emergence of Stalin, the first powerful leader of socialism in modern history.
But at this time, Zhang Hanqing went to the Soviet Union as the personal representative of Zhang Zuolin, Chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Republic of China and as the crown prince with full authority to handle relations with the Soviet Union. The main purposes of his trip were, first, to attend the memorial ceremony of Lenin, the great mentor of the proletarian revolutionary movement, and second, to explore the possibility of further strengthening Sino-Soviet relations and to conclude a Sino-Soviet peace treaty.
At the beginning of the lunar calendar, January 21, 1924, at 18:50 Moscow time, Lenin passed away in the village of Gorki at the age of 53. More than 900,000 people attended the memorial meeting to pay their respects to Lenin's body and observe a moment of silence.
Sun Yixian, former leader of the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government, Prime Minister of the Kuomintang, and Chairman of the Transportation Commission of the Republic of China, was shocked after hearing the news. Through him, the Kuomintang found the direction of "alliance with Russia and the Communist Party, and support farmers and workers", so that it would not be pulled too far behind by the Kuomintang. It can be said that Lenin was the benefactor, mentor and friend of the Kuomintang.
In grief, he delivered a eulogy in person, using extremely high praise to deeply express the Kuomintang’s respect for this mentor and its gratitude for pulling the Kuomintang out of the quagmire.
Zhang Hanqing cannot ignore the impact of this large country, which is still the stable backer behind the Republic of China, on the international situation. Although Sino-Soviet relations have had many twists and turns in their official history, at present, the strength of the Soviet Union cannot be underestimated in preventing Japanese aggression in the Far East. How to effectively utilize this relationship, especially after Lenin's death, is a major test facing the People's Party.
After happily celebrating the Lantern Festival, the last festival of the New Year, on the 16th day of the first lunar month, ZhangThe Han-Qing special train arrived in Manzhouli and transferred to a special locomotive of the Soviet Far Eastern Railway (broad gauge) to Moscow. Those accompanying him include Foreign Minister Gu Weijun, General Armament Minister Yang Yuting, Beijing Municipal Party Committee Secretary and Mayor Mo Dehui and other political dignitaries, as well as Yu Yifan.
Yu Yifan, who had been clamoring to go out to relax for a long time, would not miss this opportunity. Zhang Hanqing also felt guilty, and with a mentality of atonement, ignored the strange looks of others - he was paranoid, and the senior officials in the department were all Knowing his relationship with Yu Yifan and the legend of "Chongxi" - let her join the team as an accompanying translator and life assistant.
translate? God knows, did she just learn English? Part-time Russian translator? Life assistant is real.
Because of his continuous busy schedule, he did not even have time to accompany Yu Yifan after entering Beijing, so he clearly felt Yu Yifan's sadness. Gu Ruiyu, who is younger than her, has been Zhang Hanqing's wife for more than a year. She, the "general manager" who is responsible for her aunt's important mission, is ignored by the real master. How can she not be angry?
Zhang Hanqing used the excuse of being busy, of course he was busy. But being busy during the day and not coming to accompany others at night is just an excuse. Every time she saw Sister Xiao Gu enter Zhongnanhai at night and then leave in high spirits the next day, she felt like a light on her back. She knew what the two of them were doing, so why didn't she say they were busy at that time?
At this time, she would not think that Gu Ruiyu was Zhang Hanqing's legal wife after all, even though she was just Mrs. Ru.
Gu Ruiyu originally wanted to go with her uncle this time, but it was difficult to explain her identity to Su Fang. What era has it been? As the most famous young leader in China, he actually has two legal wives? What kind of "sensation" will it be in the social world?
In China, the feudal emperors had "three palaces and six courtyards", as well as countless concubines, as long as you think about it, you can. But in foreign countries, especially European royal families, the tradition is a one-king-one-queen system, of course lovers are not counted. Taking into account other people's traditions, Yu Yifan, who is still a "staff member", is more open-minded. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 664 On the train

This is the first time I have been to a foreign country since I was born. Although there are many White Russians in the Northeast, these are not the lives of real Russians, but the lives of refugees living in China. It wasn't until I actually saw the exotic architecture that I felt much more relaxed.
In Zhongnanhai, one has to take into account influence, tradition, and avoid the eyes and ears of others. Yu Yifan, a young girl, can't complete Yu Fengzhi's mission, unless Zhang Hanqing wants to.
Now, the specially renovated carriage is decorated like a new home, and only she and Zhang Hanqing are there, which makes Yu Yifan feel better again after being depressed for several months. Sniffing the wind from Siberia, she felt an indescribable sense of relaxation.
Considering that the speed of trains in this era is generally not fast, it takes at least fifteen days to travel from Manzhouli to Moscow, and there are no big storms on the road. In order to reduce fatigue, the accompanying personnel were given very spacious accommodation conditions:
Five of the ten carriages are the residences of the guards, and each carriage is full of 36 people, serving as soft bunks for future generations. There is another section for the dining car, one section carries the radio station’s communication team and news and publicity personnel, two sections are for the accompanying staff, and the fifth section in the middle is the living and working area of ??Zhang Hanqing’s core group members.
Zhang Hanqing’s bodyguard, Jiang Huanan, deputy director of the General Office of the Central Committee and director of the Central Security Bureau, and several personal guards were at the front of the carriage, followed by Yu Yifan, and then Zhang Hanqing. Behind him was Foreign Minister Gu Weijun, followed by Yang Yuting, Mo Dehui and others, as well as the accompanying staff Xiaochao, and finally a group of four guards.
The speeding train kept moving forward against the strong wind in the vast snowy area. Except for the sky full of wind and snow, the frozen rivers and the dense forests that walked from time to time, there was nothing outside that could enter people's sight, but inside the carriage, it was in full swing. .
In order to pass the boring time on the road, he brought some pokers with him on this trip. Now, Gu Weijun has a lot of floral paper on his face and is staring at the cards in his hand attentively.
Zhang Hanqing was very proficient in how to play poker. Many tricks in later generations were far from comparable to this era, but it still couldn't stop everyone's enthusiasm for playing cards. The young marshal was originally very relaxed with the people around him, especially when playing cards. It was an absolute brotherhood and a good way to connect with each other. Mo Dehui was his good card friend.
In order to get along with the young commander, Yang Yuting also worked hard to integrate into this group, and now he is also an amateur.
As for Gu Weijun, he has lived with foreigners, so he can play bridge with them in English fluently. However, Zhang Hanqing doesn't like bridge. He still focuses on fighting landlords and beating eggs.
Yu Yifan, a delicate girl, would naturally not get involved in men's games. She carefully added charcoal to the furnace to warm the cabin. The wind is biting outside, and the wind still creeps in from time to time in the compartment that is not completely airtight. In Siberia, where the temperature is tens of degrees below zero, people will turn into popsicles after a while.
Everyone tacitly accepted Yifan's thoughtfulness. It's not specially made for myself, everyone just enjoys the gentle light. This was the happiest time for Yu Yifan, because it was rare for Zhang Hanqing to play with everyone leisurely, and he would also make fun of himself a few times.
The two bickered in front of many people, speaking words that only two people could understand, and had a great time.
But most of the time, he was discussing with several important officials what kind of rewards to exchange from the Soviet Union, and there were no less than a hundred items of various kinds. Gu Weijun talked more about policy towards the Soviet Union, Mo Dehui focused on industry and commerce, and Yang Yuting focused on the military industry system. At this time, my uncle could always point out something with a far-sighted vision, which impressed these officials and even himself.
“Ahem, how did his brain grow? Why do you seem to know so many things? However, sometimes his mind is not very bright. Don't you know what others are thinking? Why didn't you express anything?
People say that her younger uncle is a handsome young man, but she actually knows that he is a very traditional person at heart. It's not that he doesn't want to be interested in himself, but he has too many scruples. You were probably afraid of your aunt's reaction at first, right? There must have been ethical considerations later on, right? You must be afraid of political repercussions now, right?
It’s not that he doesn’t feel anything about her. He glanced at her from behind many times. His gaze was no different from that of a man pursuing her. Huh, a guy with a thief heart but no courage, but he was so bold when he did that thing with Sister Gu!
She is not a pedantic person. While accepting Western culture, she also has a different view of love from traditional girls: love is achieved through hard work by both parties! If there are no mountains, there are no boats; if there are boats, there are mountains!
After playing cards for a while, I felt dizzy.??. After several days of thinking and discussion, some general directions have been roughly decided, and the rest will be improved by the various organizers who came along. When it comes to work, Zhang Hanqing has always focused on the big and let go of the small.
The rare rest after that was achieved by playing cards. Also, there is no Internet or TV, but it is already good to have such entertainment. In fact, there are better entertainment activities. For "entertainment", there are no girls, and there are ready-made beauties to relieve boredom. But for Yifan, he has no blasphemy at all. If Gu Ruiyu was here, he wouldn't have woken up so late and would have warmed the bed with her long ago.
The night was getting darker, and Yu Yifan couldn't bear the sleepiness, but he still persisted and didn't fall down. Every time she played cards, she suppressed her tiredness and had fun by his side. She would never go to sleep without his urging her.
Zhang Hanqing couldn't bear it, so he urged her again: "Go to sleep, otherwise you will have panda eyes, which will not look good."
What kind of eyes are panda eyes? Yu Yifan really didn't know, but she knew it was definitely not a good word. She covered her mouth with her hand and yawned deeply. She was so sleepy. Could it be that I'm just acclimated, or maybe I'm too tired from staying up late for the past few days? As an uncle, I have to care about it at least! The child Yu Yifan has been trapped on this lonely train for several days. It is really difficult for an active girl like her.
“Oh, who made her insist on coming with me in the first place.
Even if you are still holding on like this, Zhang Hanqing will not know about this affection. Alas, who else would be like this? This is the typical reaction of a good wife and mother. He patted her back sympathetically: "Go to sleep, a girl's beauty comes from sleeping."
Today, Yu Yifan rarely listened to the advice. "Okay, you should go to bed early. Uncle Mo and Uncle Yang are both very old. Don't stay up late compared to them."
Um? What is this nonsense! Does it mean we are old? Mo Dehui and Yang Yuting looked at each other and smiled. Yu Yifan is used to joking with them, and they all like her outspokenness. Only Gu Weijun looked at Mo and Yang proudly: "I am a young man, it doesn't matter until the fight ends."
After a few more rounds, Zhang Hanqing felt a little sleepy. He called Jiang Huanan, who came to watch the game, to replace him. There was not much to do in his duties as captain of the bodyguard on the speeding train. What a lonely group of people, no one responded when he left. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 665 Shock
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The bedroom that was temporarily renovated for Yu Yifan and a few leading figures of the Kuomintang was not large, which meant that the two two-tiered bed frames on the soft sleeper were removed and replaced with a more comfortable bed. There is less than a small room in total, except for a bed, a small wardrobe and an office desk.
But this is already good. Compared with the numerous guards and followers, each of them, including Yu Yifan, has an independent space.
The sleeper berths of the train originally had no doors, but temporary sliding doors were made to separate them. There was no need to lock them at all. Zhang Hanqing yawned, went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth, wiped his face, peed, opened the door sleepily and dove in.
A sudden scream, followed by the sound of knocking over a porcelain basin, jolted him out of his daze and he woke up instantly. The room was dark all around, but you could vaguely see a white shadow moving in the corner next to it. He was shocked. The agility he had developed in the martial arts hall allowed him to quickly reach for his waist, but there was no gun. Then he remembered that he was on a train!
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union had already registered all the weapons and equipment when this special train entered the country. As a special envoy of the Republic of China, he could only go out empty-handed.
But this did not affect his performance. Not knowing the reality, he still chose to pounce quickly. The room was so small that he could reach the end in two steps. Agent scenes in many movies told him that escaping at this time was the worst option.
Because close firepower cannot take advantage, even if the opponent hits him with a pistol, it is very likely to penetrate the body due to the high initial velocity, but it is not necessarily fatal; instead, the distance is widened, and the bullet will stay in the body after hitting, or Explodes in the body, causing greater damage.
"Who?!" Without thinking too much, he grabbed Bai Ying and prepared to hug her closely. However, what was within reach was a wet body. This surprise was even more extraordinary! But due to inertia, he didn't have time to shrink his hands, so he hugged his body tightly, preventing him from moving.
The man trembled obviously but did not make a sound. However, when he smelled a familiar smell, Zhang Hanqing was confused and secretly screamed, "Oh!"
It’s Yu Yifan! Thinking back to the way he went back to his room, well, he entered through the second door. His room is the third, and the room next door is Yu Yifan's. This is embarrassing!
Yu Yifan’s scream just now had already alerted the guards next door in front of him. What a joke, at such a close distance and with such a loud voice, no matter how hard they hear it, are they still worthy of being the young marshal's personal bodyguards? Almost at the same time as the shouts, several guards jumped up, wearing underwear, grabbing short guns, rushed through the corridor, and squeezed open the door. The whole action was comparable to the standards in the textbook.
It was only when the guards turned on the lights that Yu Yifan reacted and screamed again. It's embarrassing enough to be touched naked by Zhang Hanqing, but to be seen by these guards again, do you still have the dignity to behave like a human being?
But Zhang Hanqing reacted faster. He pushed her into the bed and covered her with the quilt with his backhand.
Under the muzzle of the black hole, the guards saw such a bloody scene: their young commander stood beside the bed in shock, the beautiful princess (words in her heart) shivered in the bed, and several things fell under the bed. women’s clothes…
"Well, Zhang Hanqing reacted quickly enough. He smiled coquettishly and said, "Miss Yu fell down while taking a shower. It's okay, it's okay."
The guards stared with big eyes, as if they didn't believe it, but soon they tried to believe it: "Oh, that's it, then it's okay."
“Such a big movement cannot help but alert the few people playing cards. Among them, Jiang Huanan is responsible for the security, so he is naturally the most alert and has the fastest reaction. He had almost already dropped the cards when Yu Yifan shouted for the first time, and when he shouted for the second time, he had already sprinted out of the room. There are all great people in this carriage. Except for the young marshal who is not here, everyone else is here. If the young commander makes a mistake
A bunch of disheveled and fully armed men appeared at the door of the young marshal's room, which made him even more anxious. He rushed over with a quick stride and shouted: "What's going on!?"
The guard Xiao Liu, who was always very close to him, stretched out his hand to stop him: "It's okay." while winking at him.
A very familiar voice came from inside the house: "It's Huanan, it's okay."
“Well, Marshal, it’s fine. Under the look of his men killing chickens and wiping their necks, Jiang Huanan had no choice but to give up the idea of ??continuing the interrogation even though he was full of doubts. However, he suddenly had an idea: What was the young commander doing in the girl's room?
Watching the guards carefully close the door and tiptoe away, shrugging their shoulders and snickering, Zhang Hanqing knew what they were thinking. However, when the room fell silent again, he gradually felt a sense of enchantment.The breath of ?.
Yu Yifan is no longer the willful and cheerful girl. At this moment, her face is rarely red. He stood there, looking at the overturned basin and scattered clothes on the ground. He knew what he had just done, but he didn't know how to solve it.
It’s such a cold day, and this little girl actually has to take a shower!
Yu Yifan is famous for her love of cleanliness. Even in the cold winter, she would take a bath every two or three days. It was certainly nothing in modern times, but in this era, with such bathroom conditions, it was incredible that she dared to take a shower in the twelfth lunar month.
She has been really wronged these days. Apart from brushing your teeth, washing your face, and washing your hair, it was impossible to take a hot bath. The carriage was full of men, and even if I washed myself secretly, I was afraid they would hear the sound. But then I couldn't bear it anymore, so I brought a bucket of hot water to my room for a sitz bath while Zhang Hanqing and the others were playing cards.
I turned off the light and gently washed away the fatigue on my body. Just as I was about to finish, the bad guy came in in the dark. At first I didn't know it was him who was frightened, but later the guards tried to turn on the lights and rushed in, and I was even more frightened. It’s okay to be taken advantage of by that bad guy, but what’s wrong with having your body seen by another man!
Fortunately, the bad guy reacted quickly, but how could he go to the wrong door if he reacted so quickly! And by chance, he just barged in while she was taking off her clothes!
God of conscience, Zhang Hanqing really went to the wrong door, okay? But this matter is getting darker and darker, and the guards are probably already discussing it happily: "Miss Yu fell down while taking a bath, but why is the young commander in a big girl's room when she is taking a bath?!"
He said nonchalantly: "Well, this is a coincidence. Just take a shower and turn off the light. Well, it's such a cold day, don't freeze. Well, I didn't mean it."
Listening to his incoherent words, Yu Yifan couldn't help laughing. Is it rare for this bad guy to be shy? I was taken advantage of and I didn’t even say anything. But just like that, she felt a warmth: he is still a decent person in his heart, but you have taken the reputation of a romantic young marshal in vain, but you don't do anything to a girl like herself (hee hee), Should I be grateful to you or say bah to you?
"Little uncle, what do you want to say?" Yu Yifan poked his big naughty eyes out of the bed.
"Uh, um, no, it's getting late, you should go to bed." Zhang Hanqing escaped from her room in embarrassment and let out a long breath. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 666: Ecstasy at this moment

“Ahem, I’ve experienced several women, why do I feel so guilty towards a little girl like Yu Yifan? If it were Gu Ruiyu, um, Wanqing, and Ruqing, I wouldn't say anything and just ate it. If he escaped in despair like this, if the media found out, would he still be called a romantic young commander?
Yu Yifan must be interested in her. She yelled when he entered the room. This was an instinctive reaction. But after she spoke out, she stopped talking. Even when he touched her body, she didn't speak anymore.
Thinking about Yu Yifan, this little girl's body is so smooth. Even though it is wet, he can still feel the delicacy and elasticity of her skin. Where did you touch just now? Not there, not there anyway. Based on the experience of those who have been there, he is convinced.
In his recollection, he gradually felt sleepy coming over him. In the hazy state, he suddenly felt a familiar hazy white mass tiptoeing open the door and come in. He then gently closed the door and stood quietly in front of his bed. The feeling was so real that he suspected it was not a dream, but the naked figure of Yu Yifan he saw in Yu Yifan's room.
He unconsciously reached out and touched it, and within reach, he encountered a warm little hand. Soft and slippery.
This is not a dream! Zhang Hanqing suddenly woke up with a jolt, and his muscles all over his body burst out: "Ah" The hands immediately covered his mouth, soft and fragrant, very comfortable and familiar.
It’s Yu Yifan! Why did this little girl come to his room in the middle of the night? Zhang Hanqing pushed her hand away, sat up in shock, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing if you don't sleep?"
Yu Yifan smiled softly and said: "You bad guy, you scared me and ran away, it's a beautiful idea. I also scared you, now it's even!"
Zhang Hanqing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. From the corner of his eye in the corridor, he could still vaguely see Yu Yifan's smooth face in his fur coat. This little girl probably came to scare him wearing only underwear and a coat. She has such a strong desire for revenge. He was angry and funny, this was winter in Soviet Russia! The hand that touched her just now was so cold.
A gentleman should be careful not to bully a darkroom. A man and a woman alone in a room at night have a bad reputation for him, not to mention what happened in Yifan's room before. He said softly: "If you are so tight, we are even, but don't freeze and go back to the room to sleep."
Only then did Yu Yifan feel chilled all over and couldn't help but sneeze. At night, when the temperature was the lowest, she dressed lightly in order to scare Zhang Hanqing. In cold weather like this in Siberia, it’s literally life-threatening!
She chattered her teeth and whispered, "My quilt is all wet. It won't dry no matter how hard I wash it. How can I sleep?"
This is the truth. Just now Zhang Hanqing threw her wet body into the bed out of desperation. It was really impossible to rely on the sun. I'm afraid the wet feeling was uncomfortable, right? But this is not a big deal. Couldn't we just turn it around? But seeing her trembling body trembling in the dark, Zhang Hanqing suddenly said out of nowhere: "Come to my bed first and warm yourself."
Even he didn’t know why he blurted out such words. Such a late night, such a place, a man and a woman.
But Yu Yifan actually said obediently: "Yes." Her feet deftly took off the two cotton slippers and jumped onto the bed, revealing her white and bare feet.
Zhang Hanqing hesitated to make room for her, and was just thinking about which end she should sleep on when she saw Yu Yifan quickly take off his coat, lift up the corner of the quilt next to him, and get in.
With nephrite around him and the fragrance coming over him, Zhang Hanqing suddenly didn’t know what to do. Unlike other women, Yu Yifan has always been close to him. They used to fight each other, but he never thought about it deeply. As the saying goes, "Rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests." I always felt that the two of them were very happy together, until the saying of "happy happiness" broke the window paper between the two.
Although what she was doing was unreasonable and not in line with the traditional moral requirements for girls, he knew that Yu Yifan's personality should not be based on words like watery flowers - she was straightforward and had no male-female defense against him. .
? But is this true?
Yu Yifan is indeed ignorant about men and women. Considering the requirements of ladies in this era, it is impossible for her to know more details. In the past twenty-one years, although her development has matured, her psychology is far from reaching the consciousness of being a wife. Even when she "listened to the bed" last year, she only guessed something. She would occasionally think of that scene, but she was rejected by her strong sense of shame.
But it does not hinder the fluctuations in her heart and the things hidden deep in her heart.
Countless times, she imagined what it would be like to be with her uncle. Now it really happened, but she didn’t know what was next and what to do.What? They were all under the same quilt, but she didn't dare to move, smelling his scent in her nose, and her mind was filled with random thoughts.
Zhang Hanqing was also at war with heaven and man. Yu Yifan's bold challenge made him flinch a little. Even though she was right next to him, he could feel her hot body and feel her heartbeat speeding up. Uncle and niece, wife's niece; uncle and niece, wife's niece He kept repeating this relationship mentally.
“I haven’t been close to women for several days, and my youthful body is a little unable to bear it. Lying next to her was a young, beautiful, charming, trendy beauty. She couldn't be considered a man if she didn't react at all. But, why do I feel a little guilty?
The two of them were silent for a long time, just lying there mechanically.
I don’t know how long it took, but Yu Yifan suddenly said quietly: “Uncle, I’m a little cold.” In the night, her eyes were blinking.
Is this a signal? Zhang Hanqing hesitated, then he stood up, stretched out his left hand, tucked the quilt for her, and pulled her inward. Yu Yifan suddenly stretched out his hands to hug his waist, pressed his face against his chest, and murmured: "Little uncle, I like you."
She knew her uncle’s concerns and therefore loved him even more. Since when did you like him? Was it love at first sight when you just met your aunt? Is it the admiration for him during the Northeast New Deal? Or were you moved by his impassioned spirit during the May Fourth Movement? In any case, after her family had already acquiesced in her relationship with him, she could not help but decide to marry him.
She came over after struggling for a long time in her heart, and she was determined to sacrifice when she came over. If he has concerns, that is a sign of his responsibility. The pursuit of happiness is not just a matter for men. It is equally important for trendy women to take this step bravely! She remembered the shameful secret saying she once heard in the boudoir: "Close your eyes and endure it, it will be over in a while."
Although she didn’t know what it meant, she closed her eyes at this moment.
Zhang Hanqing was held by her and fell on top of her. Whether accidentally or intentionally, he was no longer calm. Even if a person dies, he will die in the sky, and he will not die for tens of thousands of years. I am already a person who has traveled through time. Even if I don't do anything tonight, can I still face her calmly? The relationship between men and women is actually simple once the layer of window paper is pierced.
After Zhang Hanqing let go of his hands and feet, he returned to his true nature as a man. He cautiously extended his hands.
At the beginning, he was still a little reluctant to let go, but fortunately in the darkness, Yu Yifan trembled to welcome his caress, and his movements of complete submission and bewilderment made him bold. After taking her into my arms, I felt a piece of softness within my reach, which was very satisfying.
The two of them were so close, and the bed was such a private place, so the atmosphere was filled with charm in an instant.
"Let the storm come more violently" he thought, and then gently touched her lips.
? Warm, moist, with a light fragrance, just like the person he is.
Yu Yifan trembled and accepted his kiss. The male scent made her intoxicated. Fortunately, in the darkness, the girl's reserve didn't need to be imposed on him, allowing her to instinctively cooperate with him and then get stuck in it.
With Yi Ren so cooperative, Zhang Hanqing certainly exerted all kinds of skills. He leaned close to her cheek, kissed her all the way from her forehead to the tip of her nose, then touched her slightly raised lips. When he did this, he felt a little guilty and a little embarrassed at first, but when he entered the state, the wonderful person in front of him was just the source of his strength and the glue of his love. He was completely immersed in the gentle land.
Yu Yifan only felt that Zhang Hanqing's hot breath made her face very hot. This bad guy used his domineering and skilled skills to open his heart that had been sealed for many years, and used his hot tongue to pry open his already weak teeth. Then he banged it in his mouth.
In her confusion and infatuation, she felt that the bad guy was freeing his hands to move on her body little by little. Through her pajamas, she was being tickled all over by him. She was always a sensitive person, so she tried her best to avoid him and chuckled, "Bad guy, don't move."
do not move? At this point, I don’t care even if the lady kneels on the washboard tomorrow!
Zhang Hanqing’s hand has reached the critical point, how can he listen to her refusal? On the contrary, her sweet smile that refused to welcome him made him bolder. Yu Yifan should be relaxed when sleeping, smooth and soft. After a few times, she grabbed the soft part and squeezed it gently, and she completely softened.
Yu Yifan twisted helplessly in his arms, which only increased Zhang Hanqing's fighting spirit. He peeled her into a green onion in just a few strokes. In the trembling, Yu Yifan showed her mature and attractive structure like a peach, and the time to pick peaches finally came.
At this moment, she was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. However, the sheep falls in love with the wolf, and the moth flies towards the lamp. I am happy that money in the world cannot buy it.
Everything that happened next came naturally, and with a little push and a half-step, Yifan completed her transformation from a girl to a woman. First I slid from heaven to hell, and then from hell to heaven again. The final barrier between the two was broken. You are in me, and I am in you.
"For the one I love,
It’s burning like this…”
The man is in love and the concubine is intentional, and there is a special flavor in the subtleties.
The locomotive roared in the distance, and there was a scene of desolation outside the iron window. In the desolate land of Siberia, the moon illuminates the snow like day. Without lights, the stars look particularly bright.

Being far away from China seems to have left the Chinese culture behind me at home. The two of them indulged happily, not knowing what night it was until they calmed down from the top of the mountain.
Zhang Hanqing was sweating profusely, and the pleasure he felt this time was unique. Strange to say, when she conquered the plump and plump Gu Ruiyu, she was exhausted every time; but Yu Yifan was obviously much smaller than Gu Ruiyu, and she tried all her strength, but Yu Yifan's seemingly weak body was always Can withstand the test.
If Yu Yifan's jerky, stiff movements, compact body and trembling before penetration betrayed her virginity, he really thought it was Red Peony under her and not the inexperienced Yu Yifan, could it really be true in the world? Is there such a thing as a beauty? This woman is truly a stunner!
After a moment of silence, Yu Yifan moved his body uneasily, letting Zhang Hanqing, who was quietly lying on it for a nap, feel it. He asked caringly: "What's wrong?"
Yu Yifan was still a little shy: "I, I feel like something is coming out."
Zhang Hanqing smiled maliciously, turned on the light in the room, lifted up the warm quilt, and revealed two naked bodies. Yu Yifan was so ashamed that he hugged him tightly and buried his head in his arms without raising his head.
Having already experienced these things, what else is there to be embarrassed about? Zhang Hanqing exited skillfully, sat up, and looked at his results under the light.
The snow-white body and the white sheets blend together, but there is a stunning red color in the middle, which is very dazzling. Yu Yifan blushed. The passion just now had not completely faded away. She twisted her body shyly: "Bad guy, what are you looking at?"
Zhang Hanqing pulled her belly, smiled softly in her ear and said, "If you don't look, how will you know where to wipe?" He picked up the towel, wiped off the moisture on the bed, and dried her body. Then they were covered with the big quilt again, snuggled together, and said with a smile: "It's too cold outside, it's better to hug each other and sleep together to keep warm."
Yu Yifan had no choice but to accept his fate and let him. With this breakthrough in intimacy, she began to become bolder. Zhang Hanqing wanted to do something embarrassing again, but she just moved slightly to make herself more comfortable. As for whether she wanted to do anything else, it was up to him.
The cold wind howled outside the window, but it was as warm as spring inside the bed.
Early the next morning, Zhang Hanqing woke up but Yu Yifan was missing. Just when he was surprised, Yu Yifan came from the passage dressed neatly and wanted to make trouble with him as before. No matter how ridiculous she was with Zhang Hanqing last night, she was still the daughter who had not left the court, and she could not be used by others, so she fled back to the main room early in the morning to do the deceiving thing.
In fact, it started when Zhang Hanqing accidentally entered her boudoir last night. That beautiful misunderstanding made everyone in the carriage speculate about the two of them. The young marshal was accustomed to being romantic, so no one went to make this matter clear.
However, for Jiang Huanan, who served as Zhang Hanqing's bodyguard during this trip, even though it was a misunderstanding, it still frightened him so much that he stayed up half the night. Then what happened in Zhang Hanqing's room at night, although they thought people were unaware of it, Jiang Huanan heard it clearly.
"However, the loyal Jiang Huanan kept the code of confidentiality in mind. He didn't see what he shouldn't see, he didn't listen to what he shouldn't hear, and he didn't say what he shouldn't say. He kept it taboo, so that this romantic relationship was forever buried in the shackles of history.
Turning over the calendar, ha, today is the 21st day of the first lunar month, and it’s March 8th Festival too. He lay on the bed, smiled and said, "Happy Women's Day!"
Women’s Day has been in the Northeast for three years and has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Yu Yifan is no stranger to it. It was just the first time that this bad guy suddenly wished her a happy holiday. She tilted her head and thought for a moment: "It seems like this is the first time you wish me a happy holiday, right?"
Zhang Hanqing said with a wicked smile: "In the past, Women's Day was not for you, but it really started for you last night."
Yu Yifan blushed when he thought of the absurdity last night, and tried to pull his quilt. Zhang Hanqing held on tightly, not because he was afraid that the spring sunshine would leak out, but because the cold wind was really unbearable! The two were arguing for a while, and Zhang Hanqing grabbed her wrist to stop her from being shy, and then asked her with a wicked smile: "Do you know what the festival is before Women's Day?"
Yu Yifan knew he was causing trouble, but couldn't think of anything, so he casually said: "It's the Lantern Festival."
Zhang Hanqing shook his head and said, "No, it's too far. There's another one in the middle."
Yu Yifan calculated all the lunar and solar calendars and said with certainty: "No." He even thought of St. Valentine's Day in the West. The day was wrong.
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "Yes." Looking at Yu Yifan who didn't believe it, he said softly: "It's Girls' Day."
Yu Yifan was stunned, he had never heard of Girls’ Day? She asked strangely:While sailing in the urban drainage channel, Zhang Hanqing has always been determined to build China's cities into truly habitable centers, rather than lonely villages and collections.
In ancient China, there was only one place in history where drainage systems were truly considered, and that was the Forbidden City. In modern times, only the planning of the Japanese-occupied Manchukuo regime in its "capital" Xinjing (Changchun) was unique in Chinese history. One banner.
Hugo once said: "Sewers are the conscience of the city." When will China's urban construction work stop the endless waste of resources of repeatedly digging and building, building and digging, digging and building again, and building and digging again? When will China's urban construction work stop the endless waste of resources? Urban planning has truly reached a new level; when will their planners be able to think about what will happen in fifty or one hundred years, and when will Chinese cities truly be considered among the world's civilized cities, instead of showing off as being ranked number one in the world? urban population.
After returning home, we must give a good lesson to the comrades in the Ministry of Construction and let them think a little further ahead in the construction of Chinese cities. At least we will not have to dig up an entire road just to add one more cable or wire in the future. This is a shame for the government. He made a decision secretly.

Chapter 668 Meeting
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Members of the Political Bureau of the Soviet Union paid great attention to the arrival of Zhang Hanqing and his delegation, which was reflected in the fact that six leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union received Zhang Hanqing and his delegation, and the guests and hosts had in-depth exchanges in a friendly atmosphere.
Among these figures who have left a profound mark on history, Zhang Hanqing pays special attention to Stalin.
Now, together with Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Rykov, and Tomsky, he is the six most powerful people in the Soviet Communist Party, but at present, he has not yet demonstrated a power that far surpasses others. Although he was the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, he was never liked by Lenin for various reasons. Therefore, he was the least favored among those who succeeded Lenin as the supreme leader of the Soviet Union.
Since Lenin and Stalin had disputes over the foreign trade monopoly and the Georgia incident at the same time, on January 4, 1923, Lenin made a supplement to his dictation record, namely the famous "Letter to the Congress", It is specifically aimed at Stalin:
"Comrade Stalin is too rude. This shortcoming is completely tolerable among us and in our interactions as Communists. But it becomes intolerable in the position of General Secretary.
Therefore, I suggest that comrades carefully think of a way to remove Stalin from this position and appoint another person to this position. This man was the same as Stalin in other respects, except that he was more patient, more humble, more polite, more caring for his comrades, less willful, etc.
This may seem like a trivial matter, but I think, from the perspective of preventing splitting, and from the perspective of the relationship between Stalin and Trotsky I mentioned earlier, this is not a trivial matter, or in other words, it is a kind of The little things that can be decisive. "
On March 5, 1923, Lenin was very angry after learning that his wife Krupskaya had been insulted and intimidated by Stalin, and proposed to break off diplomatic relations with Stalin. Although Stalin apologized to Lenin, things eventually settled down. But this incident also affected Lenin's view of Stalin: "I am not sure whether he can always use this power very carefully."
Because of these events, senior leaders within the People's Party and diplomats familiar with Soviet affairs once argued endlessly about who would eventually become the supreme leader of the Soviet Union. Of course, no one was optimistic about Stalin. However, what shocked the colleagues of the Kuomintang was that Zhang Hanqing categorically concluded that Stalin would eventually dominate the political situation of the Soviet Union.
He also said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "The relations with the Soviet Union discussed during this visit to the Soviet Union are, firstly, to demonstrate the long-term friendly gestures between our country and the two parties of the Soviet Union and to ensure border harmony. The other important thing is to firmly Unswervingly showing support for Stalin so that we can gain more favor and support from the Soviet Union in our relations with the Soviet Union is crucial in China's future construction and international relations."
Although the People’s Party’s intelligence network has not been able to reach the top leadership of the Soviet Union, Zhang Hanqing clearly knew Stalin’s capabilities with the advantage of being a time traveler.
Before the crisis caused by "Lenin's Testament", he took advantage of the contradictions and differences between Lenin and Trotsky, and later won Lenin's trust and reuse. After Lenin's death, he immediately seized the opportunity of Trotsky's criticism of Kamenev and Divinoev to form a political alliance with the latter to jointly deal with the highly prestigious Trotsky.
Through their support, Stalin survived the crisis caused by "Lenin's Testament", defeated Trotsky, and consolidated his position in the party. Then he supported Bukharin, taking advantage of people's weariness with the fickleness of the opposition, isolating Kamenev and Divinoev, who turned to collude with Trotsky, until they were expelled from the party; Bukharin, who had his own differences on economic policy, became the leader of the right-leaning capitulationist group.
So, the seats are only temporary. In a few years, under Stalin's attention, these people will disappear in the long river of history, and none of them will end well. In public, their relationship seemed to be that of comrades and brothers, but in private, they had reached the point of being incompatible with each other.
Of course, for Zhang Hanqing, he could only shake hands with them politely one by one with mixed feelings, like browsing each living memorial sculpture.
It was Stalin’s turn. For this world-famous legend, even if Zhang Hanqing had the same status as him today, he still had reverence for him.
He knew his own affairs, and he became the leader of China by virtue of his prophetic opportunity, while the other party was completely killed from a pool of blood Stalin was originally his pen name, which means "Man of Steel". From his subsequent series Judging from his methods, he really lives up to his name.
There are deep pockmarks on his face, which is said to be caused by smallpox when he was 7 years old. He was observed wearing a thick glove on his left hand, obtained from the Ministry of Foreign AffairsThe news he received was that he had contracted sepsis when he was in school and infected his left arm. Even after recovering from the illness, his muscles were still atrophied and his left arm was slightly shorter.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????This man who is only 1.62 meters tall and has an unattractive appearance can lead the Soviet Union to the stage of the world's superpower. People can’t be judged by their appearances, that’s true!
Zhang Hanqing spoke to the future leader of the Soviet Communist Party in an unusually cordial tone. He said: "Dear Comrade Stalin, today, we are here for friendship. As the largest neighbor of the Soviet Union now and in the future, the government of the Republic of China | We are willing to form a strong foundation of friendship and mutual assistance with you. Both China and the Soviet Union have a history of being invaded, but with the support of the people of both countries, we have achieved staged victories.
In order to consolidate this victory, on behalf of the Central Committee of the Chinese People's Party, the Central Military Commission and the government of the Republic of China, I am willing to establish comprehensive cooperation, mutual benefit and peaceful diplomacy with the fraternal parties and governments of the Soviet Union on the basis of friendly consultations. relation.
Before, the Soviet Union was the first country to establish diplomatic relations with the Republic of China, which fully demonstrated the Soviet Union’s friendship with the Republic of China; now, this huge delegation I am leading is to repay our friendship to the Soviet brothers. I believe that under the banner of Sino-Soviet friendship, all problems can be finally solved. I am full of confidence in the prospects of Sino-Soviet relations! "
This time, in addition to eliminating the cold treatment of relations between the two countries caused by the previous search of the embassy, ??we also need to completely resolve the tail end of the Middle East Road and other issues, as well as obtain mutual security guarantees between the two countries, and try our best to obtain some urgent information from the Soviet Union. technology.
No matter how they fight within the Soviet Union, they are surprisingly unanimous in their relations with China. That is, the Soviet Union needs to accept the olive branch offered by China. On this overall situation, the guests and hosts quickly reached a mainstream consensus, leaving the remaining details to be negotiated by diplomats from both sides.
Turning grief into strength, the Soviet people who were working hard to build a new Soviet Union also expressed great affection for the friendly envoys from their eastern neighbors: Since the October Revolution, the Soviet regime has been isolated from the world, and only this legendary young marshal of China has Against all odds, he was the first to recognize the Soviet Union and express friendship in the name of local autonomy in Northeast China. After taking over China, he was the first to exchange ambassadors with the Soviet Union, giving the Soviet Union its first ally.
Although this ally is not very strong yet, and it believes in the "three dishes cooking principle" that is somewhat different from communism. However, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and China's growing strength has a vital buffering effect on this big country in shock.
The political structure of the People's Party: the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, the Standing Committee, the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Organization Department, and the Secretariat are surprisingly similar to the People's Committee, the Central Executive Committee, the Political Bureau, the Organization Bureau, the Inspection Committee, and the Secretariat of the Soviet Union. Some names Even the same; the Central Committee of the People's Party and the Revolutionary Military Committee of the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army are very similar; the organizational principles of the People's Party and the system of standing committees at all levels are good examples for the Soviet Union to learn from.
Of course, the collective farms and planned economy of the Soviet Union are also worthy of Zhang Hanqing's efforts to learn from. After all, times have changed and the country has embarked on the road of market economy before crossing over. He does not yet understand the operation of the planned economy very well.
Because we are in the era of economic globalization, the planned economy has come to an end after decades of glory, so its shortcomings have been magnified. It is this economic system that once made the Soviet Union rank second in the world and is worth reference.
Due to the implementation of the New Economic Policy, the Soviet Union’s economy basically returned to the pre-war 1913 level by 1925. However, modern industry in the Soviet Union is still relatively backward. Steel and electricity production are far from meeting the needs of the national economy. The latest large industries such as automobiles, aircraft manufacturing, chemical synthesis, large machine equipment manufacturing (power stations, automatic production line equipment), etc. are almost blank.
In the mid-1920s, after Western countries recovered from World War I, the gross industrial production of all major industrial countries reached or exceeded the pre-World War I level.
In particular, the U.S. economy is experiencing unprecedented prosperity. Some European and American economists claim that capitalism has eliminated poverty. The unprecedented prosperity makes them confident, and they continue to block the Soviet economy, turning the Soviet Union into a red island. What is even more serious is that the Soviet Union lacks engineering technicians and scientific researchers, and the quality of its workers is not high.
Until 1928, the industrial output value of the Soviet Union was less than half of Germany and one-eighth of that of the United States. There were less than 30,000 tractors in the country, and 99% of farming relied on animal power and manpower. If it encountered a large-scale invasion by the imperialist group at this time, the Soviet Union's industrial level and production capacity at that time would not be able to defend the Soviet regime.
So when Lenin was still alive, he was planning a massive economic construction. At that time, the Soviet Union was conceiving the first five-year plan in the history of communism, so it particularly needed a relatively peaceful environment.
With China’s proactive overtures, the Soviet Union can now breathe a sigh of relief and no longer has to worry too much about threats from the east and fall into an unfavorable situation of being attacked from both sides. As the Soviet Union, which was surrounded by imperialist countries, it also urgently needed friendly care.
No one mentioned inappropriately that the Chinese side had raided the Soviet Embassy in China not long ago. Zhang Hanqing did not mention it, and the Soviets did not mention it. It was like a dream that happened yesterday
Zhang Hanqing and others also presented their package deal and economic mutual assistance and cooperation agreement. Of course, all of this was negotiated on the premise of achieving complete peace between China and the Soviet Union.

Under the banner of internationalism, the Soviet Union also hoped that China would become a powerful country that would eventually drive Japanese, European and American forces out of the Far East.
When the People's Army occupied Shaanxi, Moscow believed that this force could unite the Chinese people and unify the country. Therefore, it once provided a large amount of military assistance within its capacity to the government under the control of the People's Party where Zhang Hanqing was located, including about 30 aircraft. R-1 reconnaissance aircraft, and also trained Kuomintang pilots in the Soviet Union.
But relations are one thing, country-to-country negotiations are another. The two sides have a tacit understanding on establishing equal diplomatic relations, maintaining peace, and promoting economic development, but they have different views on the Mongolian issue, the Hulunbuir legacy issue, the Middle East Road and the Xinjiang issue, which are of great concern.
Mongolia has always been regarded as the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union. Hulunbuir was forcibly taken back by China from the old Russia. There are also assets and other interests entangled in the Middle East. The reason why the Xinjiang issue arises is that in addition to the British and the old Russia , the forces of Turkic fundamentalism, and the Soviet Union also infiltrated
Unless these problems are resolved, Sino-Soviet friendship will always leave a drop of uncomfortable sand in the shoes of both countries.
Stalin, as Chairman of the Council of Ministers (Prime Minister) of the Soviet Union, single-handedly took charge of the specific negotiations with China. He had different views on the above issues than Zhang Hanqing. To put it bluntly, he wants to gain a sense of presence for himself through negotiation, and it is best to get benefits from it and gain internal respect.
In fact, the Soviet Union has given up on several issues related to territorial sovereignty internally, but since it is a negotiation, it must always make the impossible possible. Based on the principle that a point is worth a point, he took the initiative to raise the above issues.
"Young Marshal, to be honest, we are very dissatisfied with your country's unilateral change of the status quo of the border between the two sides. If it were not based on the premise of friendship between the two sides, a large number of people in our party would take tough measures! You know , we defeated the powerful interventionist army not long ago, and we have established a huge Soviet Union in Eurasia!"
Zhang Hanqing demonstrated his outstanding diplomatic ability, which even made Gu Weijun, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, sigh. Regarding the Soviet Union’s opinions on territorial disputes, Zhang Hanqing was firm: “Comrades from the Soviet Union, you have just experienced the intervention of the West and Japan, and you must be able to understand the pain of having your territory trampled on and your sovereignty ignored.
Similarly, Mongolia, Hulunbuir, and the Middle East Road were all imposed on China by the old Russia and are now completely under the control of the Republic of China. I don’t believe that by raising such a question, do you want to repeat the mistakes of the original interventionist army? As we all know, from the day the People's Army was established, we have worked hard for China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. As long as the People's Party is still alive, she will not throw away an inch of her country casually!
Of course, the long Sino-Soviet border should be peaceful, which will save both of us a lot of military expenses. We guarantee that we will never let any country use China's territory to threaten the Soviet Union. Frankly speaking, our current threat lies in Japan in the east.
There are other territorial issues that were ceded during the Manchu era. We have a forward-looking attitude, putting aside disputes and jointly developing them. Both of us can set up a negotiation committee to discuss this issue. Future generations will be smarter than us and they will solve it. "
Tsarist Russia has usurped millions of square kilometers of China’s territory in various treaties. As the successor, the Soviet Union has always been afraid that China will make demands. The reason why Stalin struck preemptively was to use the lost territories in exchange for China's compromise: I have given up my interests in Mongolia, Hulunbuir, and the Middle East Road. Do you still want to get back other territories?
Of course Zhang Hanqing wants it, but this is not the time to do it. It has become a historical issue, so let the development of history resolve it. His proposal to "shelve the dispute" was to reassure the Soviet Union.
Things have priorities. Make yourself stronger first, otherwise, everything will be in vain. With China's current state, can it still regain lost territory through war? It’s just for you, are you sure you can keep it? Little Japan is still staying well in Dalian, and his tentacles have also extended to Changchun and Shenyang. Isn't there still nothing that can be done to him?
Because the People's Army will subsequently develop Xinjiang on a large scale, it urgently needs support from the Soviets.
"The problems facing our two countries now are very similar. We need to survive, develop, and become strong. We are both full of waste, and we need to provide our citizens with favorable living conditions to reflect the superiority of the system. We need to establish A strong country. All of this requires our sincere cooperation and mutual exchange of needs.
A strong Soviet Union is the foundation for stability in China’s northern frontier, and a strong China is also the foundation for the Soviet Union to concentrate on European affairs.business dealings with the country. "
After the signing of this treaty, China and the Soviet Union achieved political and economic mutual trust.
With the birth of the Sino-Soviet Peace Treaty, the international community for the first time paid attention to the young and outrageous Zhang Hanqing as an important figure in the country, and the country was also shocked by the generosity of this young marshal.
"Jinmen Daily" commented: "This is not a military victory, but his achievements are comparable to any military victory that has occurred since the Republic of China. After all, China, which has long been in the den of great powers, has suffered disasters. I finally have a friend who is relatively harmless, at least for now."
Sino-Soviet relations ushered in a new era in history. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 670 Maximizing the value of the treaty

Soviet heavy weapons, especially heavy artillery production lines, are urgently needed by the People's Army.
The current equipment of the People's Army is mainly 75mm mountain guns and howitzers, while the previous Tsarist Russian army had already used 105mm and 155mm guns as the main force. After the domestic army has initially completed the reorganization of the three brigades, the artillery regiments (no matter what kind of artillery) of each division and brigade are far from enough.
Since the Zhili was defeated, the People's Army and Fengjun merged and captured Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, rapidly expanding from the original 23 divisions to 29 divisions. The military strength is not insufficient, but the number of heavy artillery has always restricted its combat effectiveness.
Throughout 1923, all arsenals were at full capacity, but produced 510 mountain guns and 600 howitzers. Together with the original 23 full-service artillery regiments, the People's Army organized a total of 16 75mm howitzers and field artillery regiments, There are 32 75mm mountain artillery regiments, but the People's Army needs 106 artillery regiments, which is less than half of the demand.
Zhang Hanqing has begun preparations to completely cancel the manufacturing of mountain artillery in 1924, switch to a howitzer production line and expand production. After taking control of the two major arsenals, Gongxian Arsenal and Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, if we can get help from the Soviet Union, it will not be a problem to double the amount of artillery produced in 1924 compared with the previous year. We can also replace the mountain artillery with more powerful ones. The howitzer is a thing that greatly increases the combat effectiveness of the army.
The "barter" policy he proposed to the Soviet Union was very feasible, because the Soviet Union had not recovered from the great famine caused in 1921, and bartering for food was a matter of mutual benefit, so the Soviet government | The government readily agreed to Zhang Hanqing's various assistance requests.
Considering that the Sino-Soviet peace agreement was signed in 15 years, it is expected to maintain a good peace with it in the north for a long time. But why the time is not twenty years or even more, Zhang Hanqing has his own calculation.
Considering the future war between the Soviet Union and Germany, after China becomes stronger, the most likely time to regain territory should be at this time - according to historical trends, the Soviet Union will have no time to take care of itself at that time, and it will be possible for China to resume control of the Far East.
As long as China is not weakened, the Soviet Union, which has lost the Far East, is unlikely to be able to engage in a large-scale war with another major country - the international situation after World War II is not favorable to it. Once the age of nuclear weapons arrives in the future, it will be difficult and almost impossible to regain territory. Can you imagine China’s reaction to Russia’s territorial claims in the 21st century?
Of course, Zhang Hanqing had other considerations when he visited the Soviet Union as a senior official of the People's Party and the People's Army. As a modern person who has traveled through time, he understands better than anyone how strong the people of the West, especially Western Europe, are in fear of the world's first socialist regime.
After four years of armed intervention from 1918 to 1922, the West generally imposed an arms embargo and economic blockade on the Soviet Union. Of course, it was more afraid that a system of the same nature would spread to China, a country with a large population and a country with nearly Western capital. China's system of separation of powers is more in line with their expectations.
As a People's Party government with a de facto one-party dictatorship, its administrative control methods are surprisingly similar to those of the Soviet Union: a high degree of nationalization of industry and a national distribution system, as well as copying of ideology - in fact, Zhang Hanqing The administrative management style under his leadership has never been able to escape the subtle influence given to him by the long-term political life of more than 20 years in later generations.
The Soviet Union attaches great importance to exploiting the contradiction between semi-colonial and semi-feudal China and the Allied Powers, which mainly have vested interests in China. It strives to maintain friendly relations with China diplomatically and strengthen Sino-Soviet multi-faceted cooperation to prevent China from being drawn into the Western anti-Soviet camp.
Although the Northern Policy (i.e., the policy towards the Soviet Union) played a secondary role in Zhang Hanqing's overall diplomatic strategy, due to various practical needs for rejuvenating China, he could not ignore it and gradually strengthened the cooperative relationship with the Soviet Union.
Zhang Hanqing did not blindly follow the irrational understanding that the country was completely leaning towards the north or the west at that time. He believed that: "There will be dangers in being pro-Western and anti-Russian or pro-Russian and anti-Western" and "unilateral alliances may be involved in a war." "It would be foolish to abandon ties with Moscow" and "the ever-present Western countries' imagination of a dangerous Sino-Soviet political unity is a political asset of great significance to China" and made special remarks on various occasions. , thus promoting this visit to the Soviet Union.
He believes that China must take advantage of the contradiction between the victorious countries in the West and the Soviet Union in the East, use the trump card of its relationship with the Soviet Union to stimulate and deal with the West, and strengthen its counterweight to the Allied Powers such as Britain, the United States, France, and Japan. Moreover, China needed the Soviet Union economically and militarily.
The peace treaty signed between China and the Soviet Union made both the East and the West feel the constraints of this "balance". Later, he even more vividly displayed the spirit of the treaty. He wanted to deal tactfully between the North and the West, make full use of the contradictions between the Allies and the Soviet Union to obtain as many benefits as possible, and enable China to play more roles on the international stage.Role: China is aligned with both the North and the West - both sides need it.
The implementation of Zhang Hanqing's policy of "maintaining a balance between the two sides" not only enabled the two countries to maintain good and normal diplomatic relations, but also objectively improved the independence of China's international status, and thus prevented the imperialist China policy in China. As harsh as it was in official history, China has entered a period of "careful care" by all parties, gaining rare time for development and thereby maintaining peace and stability in Asia.
In view of this, when evaluating China's greatest strategists and diplomats in the 20th century in "History of the Republic of China - A Strategic Study of the First Ten Years of the Young Marshal's Administration", Zhang Hanqing deservedly ranked first.
After the Soviet Union first established diplomatic relations with the government of the Republic of China led by the People's Party, major powers such as the United States, Britain, France and Japan successively issued declarations recognizing China's sovereign and independent status. Although it is just a statement, for China, which is suffering from many disasters, its meaning is no more than the cry of a newborn baby.
The first item in the Sino-Soviet economic agreement was the development of Yumen Oilfield, which Zhang Hanqing was most proud of.
The reason why the development of oil fields is the first choice is because the country’s need for oil has become a bottleneck affecting the development of China’s industrial, agricultural and commercial industries.
The widespread use of tractors in the Northeast has greatly increased the demand for diesel; and the proportion of automobiles in the transportation industry has begun to show its advantages, causing the demand for oil to increase with the development of China's transportation industry. It is not false that China needs hundreds of millions of tons of oil every year.
Now because of the small amount, you can also import it from Nanyang through the newly established Sinopec Corporation, but this situation cannot be carried out all the time? It's not easy to rely on imports. It would be a waste of my hard-earned remittances.
So developing Yumen is the best choice.
Yumen Oilfield is located in Yumen City, Gansu Province, with a total area of ??114.37 square kilometers. Historically, it was put into development in 1939. In 1959, the crude oil production reached 1.4029 million tons, accounting for 50.9% of the national crude oil production that year. It has achieved excellent results of stable production of 600,000 tons for 10 years in the 1970s and 10 years of stable production of 500,000 tons in the 1980s, and is known as the "cradle of China's petroleum industry."
Now it seems that this output is inconspicuous, but in the industrial society of the 1920s when ships and locomotives were mainly based on coal, the use of oil did not obviously receive enough attention. As someone who has experienced this, Zhang Hanqing knows the huge uses of oil. Of course, he also knows the distribution of China's oil reserves in the future.
Daqing, Shengli, and Liaohe, which occupy the top three oil fields, are all in Northeast and North China. In fact, the output of Yumen Oilfield is only one hundred and one of the Daqing Oilfield. However, due to its historical significance in the development of China's oil industry, it is also located in the Daqing Oilfield. Northwest, so Zhang Hanqing was particularly tempted.
As we all know, at that time, Japan relied on the United States to import more than 90% of its oil. In a modern war that relied on aircraft, warships, and tanks, as long as the United States cut off Japan's oil supply, Japan would inevitably fall into the predicament of defeat without a fight.
According to some information in recent years, the American Mobil Oil Company discovered China's Daqing Oil Field in the 1920s. However, the U.S. government did not allow Mobil to announce this discovery. Instead, it asked Mobil to declare that no oil had been found in Northeast China. It also pretended to put forward a theory of "China's oil poverty theory" and sentenced China's oil to death.
At that time, in order to get rid of the dilemma of oil being choked by others, Japan was also exploring for oil in Northeast China. However, the Japanese no longer explored the places where the Americans had explored. They believed that there was really no oil in the places where the Americans had explored. . The Japanese never thought that the Americans would lie to them. They really believed in the "China is poor in oil theory" and did not continue to explore for oil in Northeast China.
If the Japanese discovered the Daqing Oilfield in Northeast China, Japan would probably not attack Pearl Harbor because of the U.S. oil embargo, and world history might really have to be rewritten.
In fact, the output of the Yumen Oilfield is very low, not to mention Northeast China, North China and other places that are among the top three. Xinjiang, located in the northwest, also has a larger number of oil fields, such as Karamay, Tarim, Tuha, etc., which are all considered by China in modern times. large oil fields. The reason why they are not developed is not that Zhang Hanqing doesn't know about it, but that China's oil industry has just started and there is no experience in large-scale exploitation.
Naturally, Zhang Hanqing would not be so stupid as to reveal the fact that there are large oil fields in the Northeast. At present, industrial development does not require so much oil. Cars, which are large consumers of fuel, have not yet used petroleum on a large scale, and even the development and use of coal has only been a small fraction. Under such circumstances, there is basically no market for rashly developing a large oil field. Instead, Japan has the idea of ??continuing to "go north".
Under the current situation, through the country's show of strength and making Japan feel that it has nothing to gain in Northeast China, it may temporarily alleviate its covetousness in China - it is impossible to completely eliminate it. The war between China and Japan is inevitable. This is Zhang Hanqing's conclusion - leaving opportunities for China's development.
However, due to the large-scale development of automobiles and the prospect of large-scale popularization and use, it is imperative to develop oil fields. However, China currently lacks drilling technology, and the Soviet Union's help is very important for China's reserve of technical strength.
Yumen Oilfield is located in Gansu. The soon-to-be-opened Longhai Line and the planned Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line can easily communicate with the Soviet Union and obtain technical support. Moreover, Yumen is located inland. Even if large-scale production is finally formed, Japan will not be able to extend its influence into the remote northwest.

Although the European and American imperialists have improved their relations with China in some aspects because they were worried that an overly tough policy toward China would cause the Republic of China government to fall to the socialist Soviet Union, the nature of their plunder and aggression will not change. of. The main body of its trade with China is still plundering raw materials, dumping goods, and continuing to squeeze the living space of China's national bourgeoisie and state-owned capital.
Its approach, on the one hand, is to continue to maintain restrictions on the development of China's industrial capabilities, especially heavy industry - the blockade of advanced technology; on the other hand, it is to use the existing fact of controlling the vast majority of China's customs to adjust tariffs And buy low and sell high to earn monopoly profits.
They have made a lot of money in China, but they still want to continue to control China. Among them, the United Kingdom occupies a major position in foreign investment, the United States is likely to catch up from behind, and Japan has strengthened its economic control in Northeast China and gradually penetrated into North China.
In order to limit China's military power, in the summer of 1924, the United States, Britain and Japan unanimously adopted the policy of continuing the arms embargo against China. This was considering that the Feng clique had overwhelming power and unification of the country was imminent.
“In the past, they could influence China’s political situation by supporting local factions, but now they have to consider how to control China’s lifeline in the post-Beiyang era. Their unanimous conclusion is to limit China's armaments in order to degrade China's weapons.
In this way, even if Zhang Zuolin's government finally unified China, it would not have enough power to change the current military situation of being strong on the outside and weak on the inside. This is also another important reason for Zhang Hanqing's visit to the Soviet Union - to obtain military assistance from the Soviet Union for continued development.
Although the Soviet Union has become an important economic mutual aid and trading partner of China and has received a lot of military support from it, Zhang Hanqing does not think that continuing this situation is a good thing:
The national strategy and foreign policy he set to balance the north and the west were well thought out. Even in the current state where the British and American powers are wary of China, it would be very unwise to fall one-sidedly into the arms of the Soviet Union - the Soviet Union was far away at this time. It was not as powerful as when New China was founded later, and China did not reach the severely unfavorable international environment of being surrounded by imperialism in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Whether he can take advantage of the contradictions between imperialist countries and break them down one by one to maximize China's interests is a test for this young marshal. You know, the foreign policy of Zhang Zuolin's government is now completely based on Zhang Hanqing's suggestions.
In modern times, there are not many big countries that can influence the world structure. As an old imperialist country, Britain first destroyed the Spanish "Invincible Fleet" in 1588, then defeated the Netherlands, known as the "Sea Coachman", and finally defeated France in the Seven Years' War in the late 18th century and became the world's leading power. The overlord has been around for hundreds of years.
The United States, on the other hand, has accumulated a lot of experience and used its strong industrial power to make the great powers dare not underestimate it, although it mainly implements a conservative line at this stage.
Needless to say, Japan, while France focuses its main energy on striving to become the first army power in Europe after World War I, and has less influence in China.
“The only country that can play a positive role in China’s foreign exchanges is Germany, and the relationship between Germany and China has always been good throughout history. The important thing is that at this time, Germany was in a painful period of political suppression, economic constraints, and extreme military restrictions.
Because of its status as a defeated country, Germany has been isolated from the world political stage for a long time. The initiator and main promoter was France.
To understand the origin of the dispute between Germany and France, we must first explain the relationship between Germany and France in terms of geographical location: France and Germany are neighboring countries, with France bordering the Mediterranean Sea on the inside and the Atlantic Ocean on the outside. Germany is basically a landlocked country and does not have a port with a suitable geographical location. The Germans’ demand for ports can be seen from their “assisted pursuit” of Jiaozhou Bay;
The famous mineral resources in Alsace, Lorraine and other places in France where the two countries border are also one of the reasons why the two countries are constantly competing geographically;
After the 15th and 16th centuries, France and Germany were the two major powers on the European continent (not counting Tsarist Russia) that were evenly matched in terms of overall strength. Both countries were a thorn in each other's side in dominating the European continent. In the small land of the European continent and the Western European continent, The competition is inevitable.
From the time when Napoleon swept across Europe, the two countries formed a rift. When the Germans became stronger and provoked the French at the Battle of Sedan, the French shamefully cut off Alsace and Lorraine and paid money to settle the dispute. The two countries officially formed a feud.
After more than ten or twenty years, Germany experienced the second industrial revolution and its strength increased greatly, second only to the United States. As a result, the Germans' ambitions increased, and of course they started attacking France. This led to the First World War between the Allied Powers (Britain, France, and Russia) and the Central Powers (Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary).
&nbsGermany has reached the highest level of all-round exchanges with complete mutual trust between the two sides, so that China can free itself from the technological and military blockade created by the United States, Britain and Japan, stand up as soon as possible, and thus change the military, political, economic, Diplomatic weakness.
Of course, as the scale of such exchanges expands, it is impossible not to attract the attention of the great powers - the vested interests in China will naturally do everything possible to obstruct this process. This policy of China will be as dangerous as dancing on a tightrope.
But when talking about this decision, Zhang Hanqing said categorically: "No matter whether there is an abyss or a thunder array ahead, I will move forward without looking back." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 672 Great Power Ambition

The important role that national spirit plays in the existence and development of a country is very obvious in Germany.
From the Kingdom of Prussia to the founding of Germany, Germany was a country for just over two hundred years. During this period, it experienced the Franco-German War, the Anglo-German War, and then launched the First World War on the basis of its alliance with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and ended in failure. In just over ten years, the two countries launched the Second World War, failed again, and then rapidly developed again in the ruins. Germany successfully explained what the German spirit is: education, discipline, frugality, and pragmatism.
Mommsen, a master of German history in the 19th century, juxtaposed universities, the army and tariffs at the same time, believing that these three were the core factors in the rise of Germany.
In the middle of the 19th century, Germany established a large and diverse school and training system. The university reform implemented by Humboldt and others has achieved remarkable results. It reversed the direction of university development, created a German-style research university, and ushered in the beginning of modern universities.
Li Shanlan in the late Qing Dynasty once gave a very concise summary of German education. He said that the characteristics of the German education system are "no place, no time to learn, no one to learn." This statement is very accurate. To this day, this Article 3 should still be in effect.
The Prussian Officer Corps had a profound influence on Japan and China, and some of Zhang Hanqing’s practices also drew on its advantages. Through this system, Germany established a first-class army on the European continent that was invincible.
The Prussian-dominated German Customs Union is the best example of economic integration and economic and political interaction in German history. Due to the development of the alliance and its ability to dominate the German economy, it also reached a political and military alliance, and then German unification was a natural result.
Its vitality is reflected in the fact that in the 17 years from 1886 to 1913, German industry has developed greatly: the urbanization rate reached 60%, steel production was 27.943 million tons, railway mileage was 61,000 kilometers, and shipping was 3 million tons, all exceeding those of the United Kingdom. , coal output is close to that of the United Kingdom, both surpassing the United Kingdom, becoming the largest industrial and technological power in Europe and the second in the world.
However, with the defeat, Germany also suffered great humiliation and was forced to sign the most infamous Treaty of Versailles in modern history.
Because Versailles was a plunder agreement, French General Foch said: "This is not peace, but a twenty-year truce!" Hitler launched World War II exactly twenty years and a few months after the signing.
Wilson described the covenant as a "brotherly charter of friendship," but Germany paid a huge indemnity of US$31.68 billion, 1/8 of its territory, 1/12 of its population, and all its overseas colonies. For this reason, German Minister Zimmer scolded: "Wilson is a hypocrite, and the Treaty of Versailles is the most despicable crime in history."
In addition, Germany also handed over a large amount of war materials: 5,000 cannons, 25,000 machine guns, 3,000 mortars, 1,700 aircraft, 5,000 locomotives, 150,000 wagons, 500 trucks, and all 150 submarines of the High Seas Fleet. , and the United States took away more than 500,000 tons of ships.
All of this is sowing the seeds of revenge against the Aryan nation of the past.
Judging from the general reaction of German soldiers, they were unconvinced by their defeat. At 10 a.m. on June 21, 1919, the German High Seas Fleet sank collectively under the conspiracy of Rear Admiral Ludwig. 52 warships, including 10 battleships, 10 battlecruisers and cruisers, and more than 30 destroyers, sank. In Scapa Flow.
After the news came out, the whole world was shocked and the French were very angry, but London quietly expressed joy.
Although the loss of the ship is embarrassing, the Europeans can no longer take the opportunity to strengthen themselves. In the foreseeable future, the British Navy will still maintain the advantage of the number one naval power, so a British admiral even called self-sinking " A true blessing.”
Because of the petty calculations between the victorious countries, Germany quickly found an opportunity to correct the chaos.
Germany was the Weimar Republic at this time, with the current President Albert and Prime Minister Wilhelm Marx. However, Zhang Hanqing was interested in another person: Foreign Minister Stresemann.
There have always been outstanding figures in German politics. Among the three who have the highest regard for German politicians in history: Bismarck, Moltke and Stresemann, the latter is now exerting his personal charm and great role in revitalizing Germany. Rise up and work hard. Zhang Hanqing's diplomatic strategy of "balancing between East and West" was influenced by him.
For Zhang Hanqing, the legendary young marshal, the Germans know him better than Zhang Hanqing himself, and their high evaluation makes Zhang Hanqing ashamed. Being able to stand out from the cracks between Britain, the United States and Japan and almost unifying the country, allowing China's economy to catch up with Japan, the major power in Asia, at an ever-changing speed is a miracle in itself. And his diplomatic philosophy of conciliation with the United States and Britain and openness to the Soviet UnionHow can I reject these talented people thousands of miles away because of partisan opinions and sectarian opinions? The symbol of a strong country is that it can make people use their intelligence and talents to play a role in the fields they are familiar with. This is the confidence of the leader and the blessing of the country! "
Suspects do not need to be suspected. Now, Yang Yongtai represents himself and negotiates with Germany's political circles to reach a comprehensive partnership on China and Germany. As for himself, he specified that he wanted to meet someone.
General von Sickert!
No one knows better than him the value of this man to Germany's military take-off.
If Stresemann politically freed Germany from the shackles of a defeated country, then Sickert was the godfather of the re-emergence of the German Army: He raised the war concepts of all generals to a modern level based on aircraft and tanks. The reserve of large-scale technical arms laid a solid foundation for the German army's later implementation of lightning tactics.
These insights of his are not something that Zhang Hanqing particularly cares about. What a joke. He also has more advanced concepts than these. Do you think that after so many years of war tests, pre-travel theory and acquired practice, Zhang Hanqing is still a military novice? ?
Zhang Hanqing wanted to see him because he had a big game to play. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 673 Military Construction Maniac
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Feng﹒ Sickert is currently the Commander-in-Chief of the German Wehrmacht.
His construction of the German army was mainly based on his promotion of the traditional Prussian spirit, and he was famous for being good at leading troops. Previously, he was the chief of staff of the German army after the defeat.
In World War I, he led the Turks to fight against the British army in the Mediterranean. Later, the Turkish army was defeated. British military history described the battle like this: "A small number of German detachments were well-disciplined and surrounded by scattered people. Amid the torrent of disaster, including troops, unrecognizable faces, and a large number of stragglers, about two regiments of German troops maintained their cohesion and fighting spirit, maneuvering as freely as on a parade ground, firing between stops, and then shooting to the rear. Transfer.”
The Treaty of Versailles stipulated that the total number of German troops could not exceed 100,000. He required that soldiers must have more than 25 years of military experience and form a new national defense force with capable veterans.
The Treaty of Versailles prohibited Germany from having military academies, so it established a military education system at the regimental level. Every private was trained to become a sergeant, every sergeant was trained to become an officer, and every officer was trained to become a general. training.
He formulated a plan to rearm and revive morale, retaining the German army's greatest advantage, the officer corps, and allowing new tactics to be brewed.
He arranged for the National Defense Force to conduct exercises every six months to refine professional skills and improve professional quality. If there are no tanks or anti-aircraft guns, they use cardboard and wood to imitate them. The German army may be the only army that uses toy airplanes to simulate real airplanes to practice anti-aircraft shooting! During the exercise, an individual soldier must claim to be a certain platoon, or represent an 8-man machine gun team.
All of these constitute von Sickert's "One Hundred Thousand Army"! "
"If it were just these, it wouldn't be worth Zhang Hanqing's emotion. When it comes to military attainments, the label of "profound thinking and godly knowledge of history" attached to oneself is enough to kill the opponent in an instant.
He just wants to solve some major problems in China's current military development. These problems can be completely solved by the Chinese themselves as long as there is time, but he also wants to overtake them in a corner.
At the National Defense Building, he met this standard officer with Prussian characteristics: neat and rigorous appearance, reserved military appearance. This style seems to be contrary to the ecology of the political field, and is probably a common feature of many professional soldiers. His taciturn nature and humble approach to life made him a model for the German General Staff to "talk less and do more."
At this moment, Zhang Hanqing decided that there was no need to talk in circles with him. Perhaps openness and honesty was the best way of communication for such a soldier.
"General Sickert, we are all soldiers. There is no need to use any vague or obscure political terms to express extremely concise military language. Let me say it frankly: China needs to conclude a secret with Germany militarily. but a treaty that is of great benefit to both parties.”
Perhaps it was the first time he encountered such an "open and honest" politician. Sickert felt a hint of surprise behind the silk-rimmed glasses he was wearing.
"Oh, I very much agree with what the young marshal said."
"I know that the general attaches great importance to the improvement of speed and mobility in the military. I am honored that this is also my knowledge." Zhang Hanqing praised him without leaving any trace. Sickert once said: "The way to win future wars is to mobilize small but high-quality mobile troops. If they are matched with aircraft, the combat effectiveness will be higher." This is actually the prototype of blitzkrieg.
Seeing the other party nodding in approval, Zhang Hanqing stated his desired purpose: "So my army has not only formed an organic tank unit, a vehicle transport unit, but also aircraft. But there is currently a shortcoming, which is that it is the same as your army. , Our current power at sea is extremely weak. No matter how powerful the army is, it needs the support of the naval force, otherwise it is destined to be unable to go far.
China needs to defeat Japan, not only on land, but also at sea. Otherwise, without a strong navy and air force, the vast coastline will never have peace; if Germany wants to break out of the shackles of Versailles, it also needs an army that can at least protect itself. Naval and air force. Unfortunately, this is where we are all tied together.
But we still have a way, and that is cooperation. I know that although Germany does not retain a powerful fleet, it has intactly preserved the talents, technology and equipment to build such a fleet. You know, no matter how good the talent and technology are, if there is no stage for them to perform, the talent will be lost and the technology and equipment will fall behind.
" China faces another problem, which is that we desperately want to have a naval force that is ten or a hundred times larger than the current one, but we do not have the corresponding experience and talent reserves.
So if China and Germany cooperate in depth, Germany will send technical talents and equipment to China, so thatFortunately, after thinking of Yu Dawei, Zhang Hanqing was reminded that this person has a great background and a great future! He laid the foundation for new China's petrochemical, mining and metallurgy, shipbuilding, water conservancy, bridges, civil engineering, construction, agricultural improvement, breeding industry improvement, environmental protection projects, etc.
Weng Wenhao advocated that all national defense and industrial and mining enterprises related to the national economy and people's livelihood should be handled by the state: "To make (China's) industrialization successful, it must be carried out in a planned manner, with heavy industry as the core. The revitalization of China's heavy industry should not be ignored. It depends on the private sector, but the government must lay the foundation in the form of state-owned enterprises." This statement is very consistent with Zhang Hanqing's understanding, and it is also the cornerstone of the Fengcian's rapid growth.
"When I go back, I will establish these research institutes one by one. Even if I just talk about it on paper, I must first improve the theoretical system. After cultivating talents, other ones will always spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain, right?" (Recorder) Please visit our website: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 674 An all-round partnership with Germany

In this way, the demand and lack of raw materials, interest in China's political intervention, and demands to secretly expand its military strength have prompted Germany to actively deepen and accelerate cooperation with China. China also has a huge amount of resources that Germany lacks. Strategic raw materials in exchange for the help it urgently needs in terms of industrial and military capabilities. Sino-German exchanges are of great benefit.
The same is true in official history: During the two world wars, Germany took a series of measures to open up the Chinese market based on its own interests. These measures have led to the continuous improvement of Sino-German relations, promoted the growth of Germany's interests in China, and had a profound impact on Germany's diplomatic decision-making towards China.
In the 1920s and 1930s, various factions in Germany had disagreements on Far East policy, and the issue of German military advisers to China was one of the focus issues.
There have been many disputes between the Defense Forces and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs surrounding this issue, but their differences are not substantive. Before the Nazis came to power, the traditional German ruling elite had always hoped to cultivate China as its strategic ally in the Far East. Even after the Nazis came to power, in order to speed up the construction of Germany's military industry and vigorously attract raw materials and foreign exchange, they also actively took measures to cooperate with the Chinese government | government cooperation.
Zhang Hanqing also saw this, so when Germany was defeated, he invited German military advisers from a corner of the northeast. During the long-term cooperation, he gained the trust of the German military circles and laid a good foundation for the National Government to fully carry out exchanges with Germany. Foundation.
At the same time, China's desire to industrialize to counter the looming specter of Japanese invasion also deepened this cooperation. Therefore, starting from the 1920s, the two sides hit it off almost immediately and conducted all-round cooperation in industry, agriculture, military and other aspects.
Germany owes a large part of the credit for the rise of Fengjun in the military and industry. Through a middleman named Lihe Yangxing, Fengjun completed many historic breakthroughs. For example, the development of the Liao 10-type 80mm and 150mm large-caliber mortars was completed one year earlier than official history, that is, in 1921;
By purchasing a precision telemetry machine, the Northeast Artillery used it to replace the traditional artillery scope for observation, and mastered the shooting technology of the unobserved test firing and effective firing as shown in the picture, as well as the latest artillery technology of occupying sheltered positions. At that time The country is advanced.
Now, Zhang Hanqing is using it to purchase equipment for manufacturing surface ships from Germany.
Lihe & Co., Ltd. is the agent of Hamburg Steamship Company, Khuber Steel Works, Zeiss Optical Equipment Factory and American Gutli Automobile Tires, etc. It is famous for importing German heavy machinery, precision instruments, railway and mining equipment, and arms. Its head office in China is in Shanghai, with branches in Qingdao, Jinan, Tianjin, Hankou, Shenyang, Nanjing and other places.
Any product that Chinese customers need to buy from Germany can be purchased by this bank. The process is: the customer first pays a part of the advance payment to the account in China; the account in China pays the foreign accountant the banknote according to the order situation of multiple orders; the foreign accountant is responsible for paying the German accountant The enterprise places an order and settles the account after the goods arrive.
Basically, later on, China would always know about any European breakthrough projects in industrial technology as soon as possible and try to get samples, sketches or finished products. It has played an indispensable role in the rise of China's military industry.
Of course it also made a fortune, it was purely a transaction.
On May 20, 1921, China and Germany signed the "Sino-German Agreement." Its significance lies in that it was China's first equal and reciprocal trade treaty in modern times, and it had an important impact on the economic development policies of the Fengzhi under the guidance of Zhang Hanqing. In this agreement, Germany made careful plans for the feasibility of entering the market and based its expansion of economic interests in China on long-term and large-scale investment.
Through the unremitting efforts of the German military-industrial complex at that time, the German Wehrmacht and the All-German Industrial Federation, China's revitalization plan and German economic interests were closely integrated.
From 1919 to 1922, the largest trading partner of the three northeastern provinces was not Japan, which was nearby, but Germany. Germany’s oil industry raw materials almost completely relied on soybean exports from the Northeast. By 1923, when the People's Party was fully in power, Germany's trade volume with China was US$347.5 million, while its trade volume with Japan dropped to US$234 million.
German industry also has a large demand for tungsten sand, antimony, manganese, tin, bristle and tung oil produced in China.
Take tungsten as an example. Germany is one of the main importers of tungsten sand from China. Since the Weimar period, Germany has been importing tungsten sand from China through private trade. In the 1920s, it was the largest buyer of tungsten in China. By the 1930s, Germany , Tungsten sand ore has become a vital strategic material in Sino-German trade.
In less than ten years, the amount of tungsten sand ore imported by Germany from China has increased more than four times. Its growth rate far exceeds that of other commodities. The price index of tungsten sand ore has also risen rapidly. In ten yearsAn increase of 3.4 times, which is unmatched by other commodities. During the past two decades, the amount of Chinese tungsten sand imported by Germany has continued to increase.
Please note that tungsten is necessary in the military to manufacture armor-piercing warheads and gun launch tubes; in civilian use, the tool material high-speed steel in the metal processing field is tungsten alloy.
A group of diplomats appointed by the German government actively participated in various trade and economic cooperation between China and Germany. Some even went to Jiangxi and Guangdong in South China several times to inspect the production of important strategic resources such as tungsten, tweezers, tin and other minerals, and dominated China's Military procurement plan to Germany.
To be honest, although the weapons and equipment sold by Germany to China are high in price, they are of high quality. More German military instructors have developed specific tutorials for the rotational training of the People's Party officer corps and personally participated in the explanations. Of course, they also actively serve the German government.
Due to the rapid depreciation of the German mark, the credit problem of China's currency and the current situation of currency diversification in the domestic market - basically the domestic "Yuan Datou" and the "Fengtian Bond" started by Zhang Zuolin are at the same value, the two sides agreed on the Sino-German Economic Trade is mainly done in the form of barter.
This is undoubtedly the best approach for the current situation of the two countries.
On August 23, 1924, Chinese Finance Minister Zhang Zhenjiu and the German Hapro Company (formerly known as Handelsgesell Schaft Fur Industrielle Produckte, a private enterprise with a military background) signed the "Sino-German Raw Materials Agreement" in Guling, Lushan Mountain. and the Agreement on the Exchange of Agricultural Products and Industrial and Other Products, also known as the "Hebulou Treaty".
In the treaty, it was agreed that China would exchange strategic raw materials and agricultural products such as tungsten sand and manganese sand for German industrial products, especially military supplies. If military supplies are embargoed by Japan, Britain and other countries, Germany will provide China with corresponding manufacturing machines to solve the problem.
This barter treaty, which is completely equal and has the same rights for both sides, played an important role for both China and Germany - for China, it solved the dilemma of being unable to obtain international loans due to civil war and huge budget deficits. , as well as the Western world's substantial obstruction of the import of Chinese weapons, not only promoted China's industrial development, but also provided huge help to the innovation of the Chinese military;
For Germany, after the signing of the treaty, the raw materials provided by China to Germany almost met all of Germany’s needs, leaving Germany with almost no need to purchase any other products in the international raw material market.
Another very important Sino-German industrial cooperation plan is the three-year plan of the same year. This plan is jointly responsible for the Resources Committee of the Chinese government and the German Hebulou Company. The main purpose of the plan is to build an industrial base in the short term to compete with Japan, and the long-term goal is to build an industrial center in Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangxi provinces for long-term industrial development.
The three-year plan has several basic components, such as the dedicated management of all tungsten and antimony-related businesses in Hubei, Hunan and Sichuan (the People's Party government has not yet gained control of the regional administration, but out of concern for Zhang Zuolin's government With the trust of the government, the plan has been covered in advance) and other places to build 17 factories, including steel, fuel (coal mines and oil mines), machinery, electrical, chemical and other heavy industry factories and power plants.
As outlined in the 1924 barter agreement, China would implement these plans by providing rare minerals in exchange for German technology and equipment. The three-year plan will also train a group of highly educated technical officials for the Republic of China government to take charge of these national plans.
Don’t tell me nonsense about protecting resources and sustainable production. In this era when others may choke you at any time, the most powerful way for China, which is in a weak position, is to do everything possible to make itself stronger. When you become truly strong, what's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine, don't you believe it? This is what the United States will do in later generations, and Zhang Hanqing is also planning to do this!
Objectively speaking, the German government’s demand for rearmament must ensure the supply of strategic raw materials for its industrial products and military equipment. In view of this, it has become a trend for large industrial consortiums such as Krupp, Farben, Siemens, Deutsche Bank and Deutsche Bank to invest heavily in China.
Because at this time, the victorious countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States imposed restrictions on German overseas investment, this kind of investment was carried out internationally through the direct guarantee of the state for foreign investment, international bank transfer and settlement agreements, barter trade arrangements, import licenses and export subsidies. direct trade between. For China and Germany, which are short of foreign exchange, this is a good thing with all the benefits and no harm.
Soon after, the partners of Hebulou Company transferred their shares to the German Ministry of Defense, thus changing the nature of the company from a private company with a military background to a state-owned company. However, this did not affect the trade relations between China and Germany.
On the day of the transaction, Chinese Prime Minister Wang Yongjiang and German Chancellor Wilhelm. Marx signed a supplementary agreement to the Hebulou Treaty, the "German-Chinese Credit Loan Contract", in which the German government provided the Chinese government with an indefinite revolving loan worth US$100 million. In addition, China has promised to purchase equipment and technical data from Germany with a credit of US$100 million at an annual rate of 20%.
Zhang Hanqing exchanged congratulatory messages with William for this, marking that Sino-German relations have entered the "honeymoon period."

The increase in Sino-German exchanges inevitably leads to mutual influence. Germany completely defeated French obstruction through the Battle of Sedan, completed national reunification and quickly became a modern industrial power. It is an example worthy of reference and learning. Its high efficiency in political and military systems is also a political reformer. A role model for us to follow.
Some people within Zhang Zuolin’s ruling group also believe that popular fascism may be a secret recipe for China to quickly resolve political and military chaos.
Don’t be blinded by the textbook conclusions of later generations. First, we need to clarify what the Nazis are. It is the Chinese transliteration of German and is now generally translated as "national socialism".
But in fact, this kind of translation is caused by misinformation. The best translation is actually "National Socialism", and "National Socialist Party" should also be translated as "Democratic Socialist Party" to be more accurate.
"National Socialism" has another story in German history. "National Socialism" is a trend among many "national socialisms" in Europe in the 19th century. Its representatives are Rodbertus and Lassalle.
Because in English and German, “nation” and “state” can both express the meaning of the country, but the emphasis is different. Nation emphasizes a country formed by a nation, and state emphasizes a country formed by an institutionalized independent sovereign body. Therefore, the United States is a state, and China is a nation.
So what exactly is fascism? In fact, it was a symbol of Roman government officials' execution of legal powers: a bunch of sticks with a long ax tied in the middle, which meant the legal violence and authority granted by the state, emphasizing respect and obedience.
In Europe, this symbol has been used in Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and even in front of the Lincoln Memorial in the United States. To be honest, if Germany had not failed in World War II, the Nazis themselves would not have everyone shouting to beat them. After all, the essence of the country is a violent machine.
The rise of the Nazis almost carried the last hope of all classes in Germany for Germany and themselves. The German nation is almost crazy: they want to fight, they want to fight against all injustices and all bullying, even if they take poisonous wine, become possessed by demons, or burn themselves in the fire. As long as we can change the status quo, we can fight tomorrow!
The reason why we use such passionate words to describe the rise of the Nazis in Germany is not to talk about the 1930s in Germany, but to talk about the 1920s and 1930s in China in official history. Looking at the international environment and domestic reality that China was in at that time, and looking back at China's cultural and historical traditions and centuries of foreign bullying, the only difference between China and Germany is that in the end the "Red Revolution" won and Germany failed.
As Deng Xiaoping and others said, "China did not choose socialism (communism), but socialism (communism) chose China." Because the visionary people in China at that time had a very simple idea: to change, to fight, to change tomorrow, even if the devil is hiding!
At that time, this idea was not only held by the Chinese Communists: following Liang Qichao, in "New People's Theory", he began to comprehensively transform from liberalism to statism, advocating that national freedom is higher than individual freedom, and group interests are greater than personal interests;
After that, Zhu Ziqing, Wen Yiduo, Luo Longji, Liang Shiqiu and others formed a society called "Dajiang", and Li Huang and others published "Awakening Lion". They tried their best to advocate nationalism, praised Mussolini, and believed that China's future revival would also be the path to Italy's revival. , that is, the fascist path. From the worship of the supremacy of national interests to the "San Pan Zhu Yi Li Xing She" (Blue Clothes Society) established by the new generation within the Kuomintang.
After World War I, China, as the victorious country, signed a new equal bilateral agreement with Germany on May 20, 1921, which made Chinese young people willing to study in Germany. After the war, the German economy was recovering, the mark was devalued, and prices were low. This was another important factor that prompted some well-off Chinese to study in Germany.
In addition, there are also students’ desire to learn from the experience of post-war German reconstruction. For example, when Wang Guangqi, the leader of the Young China Society, visited Germany in 1920, he "thought that Germany was newly defeated and the top and bottom were competing to survive. Young and ambitious people in the country should take advantage of the time to come to Germany and observe its outlines of revival." (It is necessary to explain that Young China It was the original stronghold of China's two major totalitarian ideological systems. In political history, the Chinese Communist Party and Chinese nationalists mostly came from this meeting.)
Historically, it was only after 1925 that the number of Chinese students studying in Germany dropped sharply due to the impact of the European economic crisis and rising prices in Germany. The cost of study and living increased, and the number of Chinese students studying in Germany dropped sharply.
Now, under the propaganda and influence of the People’s Party, the praise of centralism in China has gradually exceeded the yearning for British and American style, and it has finally been recognized by mainstream society, and there will be few obstacles to the establishment of the national political system in the near future.
??The People’s Party has proposed a long time ago?Hitler ultimately failed. Who dares to say that his dictatorship was incorrect? Especially for a backward and semi-colonial country like China that looks after big powers in international social affairs, it is necessary to concentrate national power to do big things. This will require China's political system to be authoritarian for a long time to come.
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing's theory is getting more and more supporters and radical middle- and lower-level nationalist officers. It is these young people of his age who Zhang Hanqing calls "the pride of China" and "the sun of tomorrow." This will reduce a large number of potential opponents for his future political generosity, and China's political landscape will soon be able to move smoothly in the direction he has planned.

Chapter 676 Don’t fight

At this time, the second "Three-Year Plan" of the Northeast New Deal has been more than half completed, and the fiscal revenue under the name of the National Unification Committee of the former Fengcheng System has exceeded 1.36 billion yuan. Even if a man-made disaster such as the Zhizhi-Fengtian War occurred, together with the destroyed Henan, Shandong and Zhizhi provinces and the Beijing-Tianjin region also have about 1.72 billion yuan.
During the same period, the Japanese economy fell into a depression after the crisis of 1920, and the famous Great Kanto Earthquake occurred, which caused a sharp decline in the fiscal year. As a result, China's national income reached more than 107% of Japan's during the same period.
After twenty years, China has once again surpassed Japan in terms of disposable financial resources! At the same time, China's pig iron production has exceeded 4 million tons, and steel production has also exceeded 1 million tons, providing sufficient economic and material support for large-scale railway construction.
Under these conditions, Sun Yat-sen devoted himself with great enthusiasm to the grand plan of building a 100,000-kilometer railway. Through communication with Zhang Hanqing, he conceived a four-vertical and four-horizontal transportation network spanning China's east, west, north, and south:
The three vertical lines have been basically completed: the Beijing-Hankong Railway and the Han-Guangdong Railway are only waiting to be connected by the Yangtze River Bridge between Wuchang and Hankou sections to become the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway; connecting the Jinpu Line and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai Railway to become the Beijing-Shanghai Railway also relies on the Yangtze River Bridge put up;
The Jingjia Line, which starts from Beijing and is on par with the South Manchuria Railway, passes through Huairou, Rehe, Chengde, Chifeng, and ends at Tongliao. Its north and south sides connect to Harbin from Da'an. If there is spare capacity, it can be directly connected to Jiamusi, thus bypassing Japanese control. The South Manchuria Railway can also enhance Beijing’s strategic control over the Northeast. This line currently only has the section from the suburbs of Beijing to Huairou and Chengde, and other sections have begun to open to traffic.
In addition, in order to connect the less developed central region, a small Beijing-Kowloon Railway will be built starting from Beijing, passing through Bazhou and Hengshui in Zhili, Liaocheng and Heze in Shandong, and Fuyang in Anhui to Jiujiang in Jiangxi, becoming a small Beijing-Kowloon Railway, and then connecting Nanchang, Ji'an, and Ganzhou , entering Longchuan, Dongguan, and Shenzhen in Guangdong, waiting for opportunities to connect to Hong Kong and Kowloon to become the Greater Beijing-Kowloon.
The Longhai Line is a top priority connecting the east, central and west of China. After several years of hard work, the section from Xi'an to Baoji under the former People's Army has been completed, and the section from Tianshui to Lanzhou has basically been completed. The only difference is between Baoji and Tianshui, and the section from Luoyang to Xi'an in Henan and the section from Xuzhou to Lianyungang under the original direct line of Henan. If completed, it will extend from the northwest of Lanzhou to Dihua, Xinjiang (now Urumqi), becoming the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line.
The so-called "Tianlun" line runs from Tianjin through Beijing, Zhangyuan (Zhangjiakou), then Benhong, Erenhot, and directly into Kulun, the provincial capital of Outer Mongolia, becoming a strategic transportation line for the central government to control the north;
Based on the "Jiaoji Line" connecting Qingdao to Jinan, it extends from Jinan to Dezhou, Hengshui, Shijiazhuang, and to Taiyuan and Yuci in Shanxi to prepare for the future use of Shanxi's rich coal resources.
When the southwest is liberated, it will become the Jingui Line, a major trunk line across the hinterland of South China, from Jinhua in Zhejiang to Guiyang in Guizhou, passing through Yingtan in Jiangxi, Zhuzhou, Loudi and Huaihua in Hunan;
These 4 vertical and 4 horizontal lines run through China in all directions and in many provinces, becoming a major infrastructure project that attracts the attention of all parties. Not counting the completed parts, the newly built part is about 5,000 kilometers. According to the value of silver dollars in the early years of the Republic of China, it cost about 106,000 foreign dollars to build each kilometer of railway. According to the standard broad gauge (imperial gauge, 1435mm wide), about 38 kilograms of steel per meter of length.
This project requires a total expenditure of 530 million yuan and 190,000 tons of steel. Without the industrial and financial foundation laid by Fengxi, such a cost would be unimaginable. In order to realize economic benefits as soon as possible, the method of operating one section first after one section is built is implemented.
Thinking about that era in official history, China’s total annual steel output was less than 40,000 tons, we can see how much effort Zhang Hanqing put into making China strong!
Seeing that the goal of enriching the country and strengthening the military could be achieved in his hands, Sun Yat-sen devoted all his enthusiasm. It is rare for the two major parties to work together on the same matter, which has accelerated the process of China's railway construction. In order to reduce the cost of road construction, Zhang Hanqing also used the method of soldiers and workers to build roads, using troops stationed along the line to participate in road construction. Later, China's first railway corps was born.
This is something.
Everyone worked hard to build the new Republic of China, but Zhang Zongchang of Shandong became his local emperor with peace of mind. Shandong was not wealthy to begin with. In order to support the "foreign corps" that was not included in the central financial support system, he tried every means to scrape land in Shandong. Under the brutal levy, there were more than 50 types of taxes!
And the "foreign corps" was originally composed of irregular soldiers from various countries. Their bravery in war was commendable, but in peacetime, things that disturbed the people and caused trouble often occurred. Although Yu Zhen restrained her many times, the results were not great.
When the Shandong Provincial Government was first established, the elders of the Feng clan were all concerned about the struggle with the Kuomintang and the army for their sphere of influence in Beijing and the north, and they had very little restraint on him. When the provincial government built corresponding administrative departments in accordance with the central ministries, he acted like a governor.Fang interferes and gives priority to the people he likes to be promoted and rich.
The young provincial governor He Siyuan is not his opponent. He still has the final say on many things, which has caused a lot of public dissatisfaction and has brought a great negative impact on the People's Party.
Although he is not a member of the People's Party, he is regarded by the people as a member of the Feng clan. Otherwise, why did the People's Party tolerate him in Shandong for so long? And now I heard that he has become the deputy commander-in-chief of the Navy of the Republic of China and the chief of staff of the North China Command. That is the rhythm of the army and navy!
Various news reached the central government, most of which said that Zhang Zongchang was committing lawlessness and was still acting like a warlord, which put a lot of pressure on Zhang Zuolin, who was deliberately trying to lure Zhang Zongchang out of Lu.
But Zhang Zongchang is not stupid. At present, only Shandong Fengxiu has the least effort and can still make himself jump. If you go to other places, don't you have to deprive yourself of all privileges except military power? He used various methods to shirk his feelings, saying "I love Lu Di, I have loved it for ten thousand years".
When Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian were pacified, the situation was excellent. Under such circumstances, it became necessary to deal with Zhang Zongchang.
But after all, Zhang Zongchang has been affiliated with Feng for a long time, has made great achievements, and has no clear major crimes. What method should be used? Everyone knows Zhang Zongchang's fiery temper. If he gets angry and leads his troops to fight back, it will be a source of great laughter to the Feng clan.
The National Defense Commission discussed many times and had the idea of ????letting Guo Songling come forward to persuade Zhang Zongchang to stay away from politics. When Guo Songling was the commander of the North China People's Army, he had many contacts with Zhang Zongchang. However, since Zhang Zongchang became the deputy commander of the navy, he had many conflicts with Lao Guo, whose headquarters was located in Qingdao. Now Lao Guo's words no longer work.
Zhang Hanqing found this matter easy to hear. With the current strength of the People's Army, Zhang Zongchang is not stupid, and he will not rebel even if he is given ten courages. This is what he knows about Zhang Zongchang. When many people couldn't agree, he left Beijing with Yu Yifan and took the train to Jinan.
At this time, it was only ten days before he returned to Beijing. However, I went to the Soviet Union and then to Germany in early March. I spent two months on the road alone, and it was already midsummer when I returned to China.
This ride has a different flavor. Because when he arrived in China, he was surrounded by eyes staring at Zhang Hanqing, so Yu Yifan also maintained his composure. Except for occasionally running to his room for a moment of tenderness in the dead of night, he usually did not dare to mess around. This time she insisted on going out to Beijing together, also to avoid being seen and heard, and to find the feeling of being in the world of two people again.

Chapter 677 The bloody plot by Daming Lake
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The excuse for Zhang Hanqing to come to Lu was to inspect the preparations of the Jinan Military Region. As the host and his subordinate, Zhang Zongchang hosted a banquet for Marshal Yu Yifan and his party in the Lixia Pavilion of Daming Lake. At that time, the commander of Jinan Military Region Yu Zhen, deputy commander Jing Youyan, and Shandong Governor He Siyuan all accompanied him.
Daming Lake is located in the center of Jinan. It is one of the three scenic spots in Jinan together with Baotu Spring and Qianfo Mountain. The water of the lake is sparkling, kites are flying and fish are leaping, lotus flowers are everywhere, weeping willows are hanging by the lakeside, and flowers and trees are growing sparsely. Yu Yifan sat on the shore with bare feet and played in the water. The beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains contrasted with each other. The so-called "lotus on four sides and willows on three sides, one city with mountains and half a city with lakes" is exactly its portrayal.
Everyone has the idea of ??young handsomeness, including Zhang Zongchang.
They are all old friends who have fought in the South and North, and it is rare for them to have a chance to talk together. If the young marshal didn't mention it, Yu Zhen and others would not take the initiative to take up the matter. It was a pleasure to listen to the young marshal talk about his experiences during his visit to the Soviet Union and anecdotes about the capital. The flowing water table was placed, and Zhang Hanqing invited Yu Yifan to sit down.
It was just a few people telling stories about military life and death by the picturesque lake. Instead of drinking tea in the tea tasting hall of the lower left couple, they held a grand banquet, which made people feel like they were burning harps and cooking cranes. Yu Yifan had long been impatient. She said with a smile: "You guys can't eat anywhere, but you want to ruin the scenery in the hometown of Emperor Qianlong." There is a stone tablet lying on the east side of the southern gate of Lixia Pavilion, with the words "Lixia Pavilion" engraved on it. "The three characters are Qianlong's handwriting.
She pointed to the endless lotus leaves beside her legs and sighed from the bottom of her heart in the breeze: "What a beautiful scenery, just like a poem."
Zhang Zongchang smiled and said: "If you want to talk about poetry, I can also do it."
Yu Yifan curled his lips and said: "I have heard of your poems, such as Xiao Zhang Liang and Ode to Lightning. They are really, well, unique."
Speaking of Zhang Zongchang's poems, they are really unique. "Suddenly I saw a flash of lightning in the sky, it was suspected that the Jade Emperor wanted to smoke. If the Jade Emperor didn't smoke, why was there another lightning?" has already made the Beijing cultural circle laugh. However, Zhang Zongchang did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he said confidently: "I just wrote another poem."
Yu Yifan was interested in seeing a joke, so he raised his head and asked, "What great things have you accomplished?"
Zhang Zongchang said proudly, "Literaturemen all like to chant flowers. Today I will write a poem with the title "Ode to Lotus"." He was also quick to take a quick look, then shook his head and chanted: "Da Ming Lake, Ming Lake There are lotus flowers in the Daming Lake; there are toads on the lotus flowers, and they jump around when they poke."
Everyone laughed, and Yu Yifan laughed so hard that he almost fell into Daming Lake. She quickly calmed down, without wiping her feet, so she put the water jacket into her shoes: "I have to get away quickly, otherwise I will accidentally laugh and fall into the lake and become a toad." She entered the pavilion with a smile, Facing Zhang Zongchang: "Is this also called poetry? How dare you write such a poem to eat?"
Zhang Zongchang smiled and said: "We are all rough people, and there is nothing else to do except eat. However, the top figures in Jinan also held banquets here, including Emperor Qianlong and the imperial concubines. This also shows that no matter how big or small the official is, , these eating words have the same thought. The young marshal is like Emperor Qianlong, and Miss Yu is the imperial concubine. We are all ministers. In addition to inviting us to dinner, we are counting on the young marshal to promote us and make us rich."
He is also very clever, comparing the young marshal to Qianlong, and comparing Yu Yifan to the empress, which is also a kind of flattery.
Although he looks like a big boss, he is actually no more thoughtful than the average person. He knew that the key to whether he could keep his glory and wealth lay in the young marshal, so he tried his best to flatter him. As for the relationship between Yu Yifan and the Young Marshal, anyone with a discerning eye can see that flattering the Young Marshal is far less useful than Yifan.
Although his relationship with Zhang Hanqing was kept secret, interested people could still get some clues from a series of clues. They were already close to each other, but now their relationship has gone further. Naturally, there is a special intimacy in every gesture. Gu Ruiyu felt it first. She shyly asked Yu Yifan in private: "There must be a story between you two." .”
Of course Yu Yifan and Zhang Hanqing didn't say anything, and Gu Ruiyu wanted to say something but was embarrassed and didn't say anything even after realizing it. The others wouldn't talk nonsense even if they knew about it, which made Yu Yifan very depressed. She wanted to share her happiness with the young marshal, but she was also afraid of causing uproar in the city, because many people and groups in Beijing were calling for changes to the Marriage Law, advocating monogamy, and opposing the concubinage system.
Although she tried not to think about it, Yu Fengzhi's status as the head wife was unshakable. In any case, she could only be a concubine. As a leading figure in the political arena, it is impossible for Zhang Hanqing not to worry about the influence.
On the other hand, Zhang Zongchang, who had more than a dozen concubines, nonchalantly called her "empress", which affirmed her status. Although I felt a little bit hot in this situation, I still had a good impression of him: "This person is not rough in words, butStraightforward and outspoken. "
Zhang Hanqing also smiled. In any case, it felt very comfortable to be flattered. He also felt that he was the new emperor of China, if the dynasty was not allowed to appear. In my previous life, I despised mistresses, but when I am in this position and in this era, I appreciate the existence of this thing.
He likes that the concubine has a more public status than the mistress, is fair and righteous, and is recognized by the world. There is no need to be secretive. Moreover, he never regarded his women as concubines, but as "empresses."
Thinking of this, he asked He Siyuan excitedly: "Xiancha, do you know that there once was a girl named Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake?"
He Siyuan is the most famous educator and scholarly family in Shandong. He has the most authoritative interpretation of Shandong's humanistic allusions. He thought for a while and replied: "I have never heard of this person. What does she do?"
“Well, Aunt Qiong Yao didn’t tell you what to do, right? Are the characters in "Huan Zhuge Ge" fictional?
Yu Yifan paid attention. She sat next to Zhang Hanqing and pinched him hard. "My uncle still knows this person in Jinan?" she asked with a smile.
It’s a woman’s nature to be jealous. Xia Yuhe, you know it’s a girl’s name when you hear it. Such a poetic name, and one that reminds a young marshal who prides himself on being a romantic, must have a great background. However, in my impression, my uncle has never been to Shandong. "Did he meet this woman during my lunch break yesterday?"
He was misunderstood, haha, Zhang Hanqing only felt her little hand pricking him a little itchy. After all, Yu Yifan didn't put in much effort.
"She was a woman that Emperor Qianlong met in Jinan. Later, she failed to enter the palace and died on the shore of Daming Lake. However, she gave birth to a daughter named Ziwei. Later, she entered the palace to find Qianlong and was given the title of Princess."
It should be a very poignant love story, and also very interesting. As long as there is such a thing, based on the characteristics of Chinese literati, it will definitely be discovered, and it will definitely be included in the local chronicles.
He Siyuan pondered again, then shook his head and said with dismay: "No way, it's Du Cui's. I have read the Jinan City Chronicles, and there is no legend about this incident here." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel .com
Chapter 678 Conquer
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Oh, it’s still a bloody plot, but Yu Yifan became interested: “How do you know, tell me and listen.”
"It is estimated that only Yu Yifan can speak to Zhang Hanqing in a commanding tone, and Zhang Hanqing also talked about the plot of finding a relative in "Huanzhugege" with great interest. His literary talent is inherently good, and everyone "listens" with their own thoughts, so he is frothing at the mouth.
Yu Yifan was still satisfied after hearing this. She sighed and said with empathy: "This is why China is going to have a revolution. The emperor can do bad things because of temporary happiness, but Xia Yuhe gave birth to a daughter for Emperor Qianlong without any reason. In the end Not even a title!”
These words have a certain meaning. Yu Yifan is putting pressure on him. Zhang Hanqing has been thinking about how to give Yu Yifan a status that is both grand and out of the limelight of public opinion, but he has never had the chance.
He Siyuan is an educator, a typical cultural person, who naturally discusses things as they happen. He said: "You can't blame Emperor Qianlong, right? In that era, 'all the people in the world are the king's soil; the shores of the land are all the king's ministers'." The limitations of consciousness are concentrated there." Seeing that Yu Yifan looked a little wrong, he quickly changed his words: "Of course, the Revolution of 1911 overthrew the feudal dynasty, which is a historical progress."
Zhang Zongchang performed well. He loudly defended Xia Yuhe: "I think Lord Qianlong is not as comfortable as I am. If he likes Xia Yuhe, he can just marry him back to the palace. As an emperor, who else can stop him?" Yu Yifan had already alluded to his actions. Emperor Qianlong's young marshal, why is this guy named He so indifferent? Are you confused by reading?
Zhang Hanqing smiled: "This emperor can't always do what he says. There are some things that he can't do."
Zhang Zongchang didn't believe it: "If the king wants his minister to die, he has to die. Who can be greater than the emperor? Not even the Queen Mother!" Daqing, in his understanding, in addition to the emperor's mother having some status, the emperor It is an invincible existence.
Zhang Hanqing digressed: "It's good that the emperor can hold on to power, but if he can't hold on to power, he's still worried about his subordinates rebelling and being disobedient. Some people will feel that I am the best in the world when they have made great contributions, especially when they are conquering the world. First, lawlessness. At this time, is it better for the emperor to punish the crime, or to let it go? To blame, it is unbearable; to let it go, the world may be in chaos, and the country will change hands again, so it is not easy to be the emperor."
Suddenly it was brought from the legend to the rather taboo issue of political power. Yu Zhen and others stopped talking. The young marshal had something to say!
Zhang Zongchang is not stupid either. If he hadn't understood what the young marshal said, he wouldn't have reached his current status. Political understanding is not just about reading and literacy. Zhang Zuolin cannot read a few words, but it does not affect his position as the most powerful person in the Republic of China.
"So some emperors put a lot of effort into treating their heroes. After reading the Twenty-Four Histories, I was most disgusted with Ming Taizu. He almost killed all the heroes, generals and ministers, thinking that this would make his grandson Emperor Jianwen He was firmly on the throne, but he was unexpectedly killed by his uncle Ming Chengzu, who killed him from Beijing to Nanjing. The result of Zhu Yuanzhang's weakening of the generals was that his grandson could not find a capable one when needed!
If the country is not well-prepared, the country will not be prosperous; if the military is not prepared, the country will be in trouble. What I admire the most is Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty. During their lifetime, the civil servants and generals were most completely preserved, and most of them died well. Therefore, the Han and Tang Dynasties have always been the most powerful symbol of China.
Of course, there was a Han Xin that made people sigh. After the Han Gao Zuyun swimming at Mengze, he was still unraveling, and in the end he could not end well. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said that history is a mirror. If we learn from history, we can still learn something. "
The topic became serious, and everyone was silent. Even Yu Yifan could sense it. My uncle is not here to swim in the lake today, but to take political classes.
Yu Zhen has the highest position among this group of people, and she also knows some inside information. She has heard some rumors before, and she has also speculated on Zhang Hanqing's intention. But knowing that the young marshal was talking about Zhang Zongchang, he was also beating a drum in his heart. As the saying goes, "knocking on the mountain to suppress the tiger" and "catching the grass to scare the snake", as a veteran of the Feng faction, how dare he not guess the implication of the young marshal's words?
He then smiled and said: "Listening to the young marshal's words opened people's minds. Of course, the minds of emperors and generals cannot be compared with those of the old marshal and the young marshal. Only under the leadership of the old and young marshals can we move from a corner outside the pass. It gradually grew stronger, and finally the marshal took over the city of Beijing. I found that if you follow the old marshal or the young marshal, you will always be invincible; if you follow the old marshal, you will get a bloody head! Don't you think so, Chief of Staff Zhang? "
???????????? Isn’t my brother a bit of a personality cult? However, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, if you wanted to concentrate political and military power to do something, it would inevitably give people a feeling of dictatorship. But sometimes this is unavoidable. According to China’sIf the government is completely decentralized, it might lead to another situation of fragmentation. But as the core of the People's Party, why do you always get blamed for the emperor?
With a flick of her finger, Yu Zhen brought the topic to Zhang Zongchang. Everyone looked at Zhang Zongchang to see how he would answer.
Zhang Hanqing’s visit to Daming Lake today is actually a replica of Han Emperor Gaozu’s “Fake Tour of Yunmengze”. If Zhang Zongchang had any unsatisfactory thoughts or was ignorant of current affairs, the nearby Young Marshal's Guard and the Security Department of the Political Division of the Jinan Military Region Headquarters would directly control him.
Yunmengze is the ancient name of Dongting Lake. When Han Xin destroyed Qi, he proclaimed himself the "False King of Qi". It was Xiao He's kick that turned Liu Bang from a scolding into a joke, and he was named the "True King of Qi". However, from then on, there was a gap in the hearts of the two.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Bang wanted to deal with Han Xin. It was Chen Ping who came up with a plan to pretend to travel to Yunmengze and deceive Han Xin into coming from his hometown to see him, thereby capturing him in one fell swoop and demoting him to the title of Marquis of Huaiyin for treason. Later, Han Xin was finally framed and killed, and the three Yi tribes were killed.
When the young marshal went to Jinan, he used this trick to have Zhang Zongchang and others leave the headquarters for an interview. At this time, Wang Yizhe, deputy director of the General Political Department and others who were ordered to enter the Jinan Headquarters, have probably completed their "recruitment" mission, right? With the strong assistance of the 28th Division and Zhang Zongchang's absence, there will be no problem.
Zhang Zongchang was asked, but he said without hesitation: "I, Zhang Zongchang, have decided to follow you to conquer the world since I found the young marshal in the seventh year of the Republic of China. I will fight wherever the young marshal wants me to go, young marshal." Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it!”
Zhang Hanqing said slowly: "I am very happy that you can think so. Recently I have heard a lot of rumors in Beijing that are not good for you, especially your 'Foreign Legion', which is said to be disturbing the people and committing lawlessness. It is not my race. , his heart must be different, staying in the hometown of Confucius is not a long-term solution. Of course, I also know the general's uprightness. Shandong is close to Beijing, and news spreads about every move. There are mixed reviews for the general's character.
In order to prevent three people from becoming a tiger, I am going to transfer you and break up your "Foreign Legion". Do you have any objections? "
Zhang Zongchang said loudly: "The army is the army of the young marshal. I will listen to the young marshal no matter what I do!" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 679 Everyone makes the best use of their talents

With this kind of awareness, Zhang Hanqing was embarrassed to attack him.
Although Zhang Zongchang is vulgar, he still has merit, that is, he does not strive for merit, is not afraid of death, and dares to risk his life in battle. Just clear out his army and keep this person: "When the Northwest People's Army entered Xinjiang, your army made a great contribution by establishing and carrying out construction pilot projects there. I am going to formally appoint you as the leader of the Construction Corps. Commander, what do you think?"
I originally wanted to disband his "Foreign Legion", but I thought that these gangsters are not fuel-efficient lamps. Once "wandering" among the people, I am afraid they will do a lot of harm. When they asked for three pieces of land as a settlement in Xinjiang, they were able to make unexpected achievements. It seems that it is better to let them return to their old business.
Hundreds of experts and scholars who were previously stationed in Hami, Turpan, and Korla conducted field investigations over several years and achieved remarkable results. The seeds originally left in these three places have blossomed. They brought back a lot of information about Xinjiang's climate, species, and water sources. The report fully proves that it is possible to carry out large-scale troops stationing in Xinjiang.
Once again transforming from a commander with a large number of troops to a farmer working in the fields, Zhang Zongchang was inevitably a little conflicted, and Zhang Hanqing could see this. The folk customs in the northwest are fierce, which is one of the reasons why he sent the equally fierce Zhang Zongchang to govern: to fight violence with violence, and strive to achieve fifty years without counter-revolution.
It seems cruel, but it is actually kind.
He comforted Zhang Zongchang with kind words and said: "Xiao Kun, I have no choice but to let you go to Xinjiang. You know, we have basically achieved national unification, and it is the trend to realize dishwashing in the future. The so-called dishwashing means that you cannot kill people casually, Arson fires and snatch women; you can't make arrangements in the government because there are elections; you can't do whatever you want, because someone will be watching you all day long.
I put you in Xinjiang after careful consideration: Xinjiang has long been influenced by the British, Russians and some religious countries abroad. Many locals have xenophobic thoughts and even have thoughts of splitting from China. Moreover, the local folk customs are fierce. You know, they usually carry sabers on their bodies, and they will cut into people if they disagree. It is not easy for us Han people to survive in such an area.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I can't station too many troops there because supplies are not convenient. My previous opinion was to be self-sufficient and use troops to colonize and guard the border.
Your ‘Foreign Legion’ has served as the vanguard. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of troops will enter Xinjiang in the future. You must be mentally prepared.
How to manage this place? Once again, I want you to respect the customs and habits of the local people. We eat rice and noodles in the mainland, and they are used to eating meat and drinking wine. You should have no problem with this. Human hearts are made of flesh. When we develop Xinjiang, the local people will also benefit. We are all citizens of the Republic of China and should be treated equally.
But if you encounter those who are stubborn and try to split the country or forcefully suppress the entry of troops, you are welcome. At the beginning, Zeng Guofan said a famous saying that can be encouraged by everyone: "Execute thunderbolt means to show the heart of a Bodhisattva." Only when those disloyal and wild unruly people are killed until they are afraid even in their dreams, will peace truly come down.
Your task is difficult. You must know that Xinjiang is a very big place. The last time you stayed there, you probably didn’t go all the way through the province, right? Xinjiang is as big as 11 Shandong!
Although you are rough, you have a good heart and are very loyal to the People's Army (well, I'm going to vomit). I am ready to hand over Xinjiang to you.
Except for administrative matters, which are your fault and do not interfere with them, you make the final decision on military matters. Your position is the commander of the Xinjiang Construction Corps, which controls the 6th Division of the People's Army in Xinjiang and the Xinjiang Armed Police Force. Report directly to me at ordinary times. In case of emergency, Xu Lanzhou will fully support you.
For your command structure, I have arranged Niu Yuanfeng, the deputy of Lao Mi (Mi Chunlin) of the General Logistics Department, who is very experienced in logistics, to be your deputy. He is an old man and is very capable in logistics preparation and scheduling. Although you are the leader in the military, you should try to respect him in peacetime. When the Corps was first established, everything was complicated and there was no need to fight, so he was a good candidate.
"Let you two very qualified people go to Xinjiang. Don't think it's because you are overqualified, but because I value Xinjiang far beyond your imagination." You have to try your best and don't live up to my expectations of you. "
The young marshal was so sincere that Zhang Zongchang's previous unhappiness disappeared. No matter what the Construction Corps does, the position of commander is real. Moreover, the area under its management is larger than eleven Shandongs. Doesn’t that mean that half of China has been handed over to itself? Therefore, he was very concerned about Zhang Hanqing's subsequent decision to dismantle the "Foreign Corps" and turn it into 15 regiments.The Zhuang people have the lowest sense of security, and their living habits are exactly the same as those of the Han people. The origin of the Zhuang people should be traced back to the Tong Autonomous Region (between the province and the region, later changed to the Guixi Tong Autonomous Prefecture, which was dissolved).
It should be noted that the so-called "Eighteen Han Provinces" refers to the provinces ruled by the Han people, not that all the ethnic groups are Han people, because at that time, Mongolian Xinjiang was not ruled by the Han people at all before Zhang Hanqing appeared. In the same way, the proportion of Han people in Outer Mongolia was very high at that time, but it was not Han territory because the Han people did not have the right to rule
In provinces with ethnic autonomy, standing committee members elected by the People's Party will lead government units at all levels, and the top leaders of the government also have the opportunity to be Han people, as long as they have the ability to lead the province uphill.
Of course, because of the imperfections of the current parliamentary system, the People’s Party can take the lead in this country. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 680: Why is there such a rush?

After the Feng clique's forces took control of the central government, they "did not allow others to sleep soundly near the bed" and had long targeted Shanxi, which was unwilling to surrender.
But Yan Xishan was a hero who participated in the Revolution of 1911. When Sun Yixian inspected Taiyuan in September 1912, he said: "Last year's Wuchang Uprising was successful in less than half a year. This is the power of Shanxi and the contribution of Yan Jun and Baichuan. If Unless there is an uprising in Shanxi and the north-south communication is cut off, the world's affairs will be unknown."
Yan Xishan is the only person in China who ascended the throne of governor when he was young and received such an evaluation. Using knives and guns against him goes against the will of the people. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin hesitated for a long time, unable to make a conclusion.
Although he has now become the most influential figure in the Chinese country, after experiencing Cao Kun's bribery, he has become a little afraid of the emptiness of "public opinion", and his actions are far less vigorous and resolute than in the past.
Zhang Hanqing has a different understanding of "public opinion" than his father. He believes that in almost all countries, whether democratic or authoritarian, public opinion is a useful weapon for rulers to control and attack enemies. Before World War II, citizens of all countries in the world were in a situation of being "propaganda", as was the case in Germany and Japan.
Public opinion can also be controlled, transferred and deceived - he does not want to emphasize how noble and ethical he is - a country in turmoil cannot demand so-called ethics, especially when China lacks strong power. When the central government came to power, the so-called panzhi was the forerunner of warlord separatism.
The country has gone through a long period of war, and the people have made the right decision, but they still have a soft spot for reunification. Like the Northern Expedition in history, didn't it get quite a lot of support? "Popular opinion" is basically on the side of the National Revolutionary Army, which took the initiative to provoke the war years. Therefore, war does not necessarily lead to loss of public opinion.
"But the war against Yan must not be defeated, and we must not take advantage of bystanders, causing damage to both sides, and giving others opportunities to take advantage of." He still admires Yan Xishan.
Yan Xishan has been in charge of Shanxi for many years and has a solid position. Strategically, he pursues the "Three Essential Principles", that is, "not to join the party, not to ask about foreign affairs, not to use troops for personal rights, but to obey the orders of the central government and to protect local security." Later, he summarized it as "protecting the territory and the people" and asked to "liaise with neighboring provinces so that they will not be in trouble for us, or they will be happy to cooperate with us, and then use them for me and defend me against insults."
By 1924, he repeatedly refused to participate in warlord melees, allowing Shanxi to maintain peace and stability for several years.
Internally, Yan took promoting advantages and eliminating disadvantages as the main policy. In October 1917, he issued the "Six Political Declaration" and established the "Six Political Assessment Office" to promote water conservancy, sericulture, tree planting and smoking ban, natural footing, and hair cutting (men cut braids). , and later added cotton planting, afforestation, and animal husbandry, collectively known as the "Six Governments and Three Matters."
After April 1918, Yan also promoted "people-oriented politics" that actively brought into play the role of the people, and advocated the development of people's morality, people's wisdom and people's wealth. Yan believed that the foundation of administration lies in the village and promoted "village-based politics."
He restructured the village system, with 5 households as neighbors and 25 households as village chiefs, and villages with village chiefs to perform police duties and strengthen administrative management; he promulgated "Instructions for the People" and "Instructions for Families" to promote Confucianism Feudal ethics as the central content;
He also organized the village administration, promulgated the "Village Prohibition Agreement", and established the village office, litigation committee, supervisory committee, people's assembly and other institutions to punish bad people such as selling and taking drugs, harboring prostitutes, gambling, stealing, fighting, idleness, disobedience and unfilial piety. Probative education and punishment; set up a "protection regiment" to conduct military training for young adults.
Shanxi has temporarily experienced a situation where society is relatively stable and production has developed. Disaster victims from Henan, Shandong, Hebei and other neighboring provinces have poured into Shanxi in large numbers, seeking a place to live and work in peace and contentment. Shanxi once won the title of "Model Province".
Economically, he used the tradition of Shanxi merchants to establish the Shanxi Provincial Business Commune, rectified the Shanxi Provincial Bank, established new railway, salt, and reclamation banks, and established physical preparations for the "Four Banks" Treasury has formed a huge bureaucratic capital system in Shanxi, with assets reaching 100 million silver dollars. Its large scale, low investment, fast speed and high efficiency rank among the best in the country.
In terms of military affairs, Yan Xishan was hiding his strength and biding his time on the surface, but secretly he was expanding his army and preparing for war. He built arsenals that could manufacture rifles, machine guns, cannons and ammunition in large quantities, and expanded the army from 4 brigades in the early years of the Republic of China to 17.
By July 1923, under the supervision of General Office Shang Zhen, the Taiyuan Arsenal had more than 1,840 employees and 320 machines. It also built three new branches for smokeless medicine, acid making, and shell making. Among them, the first two The equipment of each factory was ordered by the German Yali Trading Company and was put into production one after another in September of the same year.
Although Shang Zhen has been promoted to division commander of the Jin Army, he still pays attention to the construction of the arsenal. During this period, the craft training factory continued to develop, with the number of employees increasing to 11,000, equipment increasing to 2,300, and monthly production of more than 10 artillery pieces, 900 submachine guns, and machine guns.?Give him a chance? The curse has been placed on his head long ago, and it will not disappear until he becomes a Buddha. You must know that in order to eliminate this serious enemy, Zhang Hanqing has already mobilized several troops from Northwest, Central, East and North China, and is ready to attack the first loser.
If the Kuomintang army is victorious, it will march into Shanxi from all sides; if the Kuomintang army is defeated, it will be dealt with.
The National Army is now in a dilemma. It could not defeat the Jin army, which had a convenient geographical location, and it did not dare to provoke the people's army, which was eyeing it. The key was that there was no one in the court to speak for it.
Since the death of Yuan Shikai, various factions in Beiyang have fought countless wars, finally seeing the light of day for unification, and public opinion is overwhelmingly in favor of establishing a unified central government. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 681 National justice
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Although he tried his best to defeat the National Army, Yan Xishan's heart suddenly became anxious.
He knew the difficulties of the National Army and knew that this was the Zhang family's plan, but it was a conspiracy and he could do nothing about it. Now the National Army is licking its wounds. He knows that once the National Army is finished, it will be the time when the Jin Army will face the People's Army.
"We can't let the National Army escape, leaving them will be a boost to the Jin Army"! He thought this way, and arranged for his chief of staff Xu Yongchang to meet Zhang Zhijiang secretly, and persuaded them to turn enemies into friends and provide military support. In his opinion, if the desperate National Army accepted his favor, they would be close to becoming the Yan Family Army.
But Xu Yongchang ruined his big event.
As early as when the three parties rebelled against straightness, Zhang Hanqing secretly sent someone to contact Xu Yongchang and persuaded him with the interests of the country. Although Xu Yongchang is from Shanxi, he is not Yan Xishan's type. Assisting Yan Xishan during the warlords' melee was regarded as protecting his hometown and the territory. However, when Yan Xishan became the biggest obstacle to national reunification, he became disgusted.
The last time Feng Yuxiang contacted Yan Xishan to cause rebellion, he firmly opposed it. Now, for the sake of his own power, Yan Xishan generously "turned enemies into friends", which made Xu Yongchang very dissatisfied. After receiving this instruction, he agreed without hesitation. In fact, he already had an idea in his mind.
The National Army’s main camp was at the bottom of Xiaowutai Mountain. The People’s Army surrounded Zhangjiakou and Baoding from the north and south, squeezing them into a long and narrow area. With no strategic terrain and no room for maneuver, the morale of the army was shattered and a defeat was inevitable. For Xu Yongchang, who is proficient in military affairs, this army actually has no fighting spirit, and there is little point even if it wants to fight.
Zhang Zhijiang was surprised by the arrival of Xu Yongchang, but he had no ill intentions. After all, they were all figures that Sun Yixian admired very much, and he still had a warm feeling for him. The first thing he said when he met Xu was: "Brother Xu, did Commander Yan make any wish to keep the brothers alive?"
"Neither he nor Yan Xishan are fools. If they are finished, it will definitely be a bad thing for Yan Xishan." The Jin army stopped advancing after expelling them from Shanxi, which further shows that Yan is the first to protect the family, showing toughness, rather than really trying to kill the Kuomintang army. At this time, Xu Yongchang came to verify his idea. All of a sudden, all kinds of calculations came to mind, asking for money and guns from Shanxi.
But Xu Yongchang only smiled and said: "I am not here to make a wish on behalf of Commander Yan."
Zhang Zhijiang was surprised, you are Yan Xishan’s chief of staff. If you don’t represent him, who else can he represent? He didn't speak, but his surprise was already expressed.
Xu Yongchang said: "Commander Yan asked me to come, but brother, I am only representing myself this time.
Since the fifth year of the Republic of China, how has China been quiet for one day? After you fight, I will appear on the scene. One moment, I will protect the country, another moment, I will protect the law, and the next moment, I will fight against thieves. But where is the country? Where is the law? Where is the thief? I didn’t see it. Anyway, I saw the country was in chaos! After several major wars, the North and the South finally reconciled, but we are still at war with each other internally. When will this situation end?
Strictly speaking, whether it is the People's Army or the National Army, everyone shares the same belief as Mr. Sun. I'm not speaking for the Feng Clan. Frankly speaking, the People's Party's attempt to make things worse has far better results than any other party I've seen. I think it doesn’t matter even if we hand over the country to them. Isn’t the goal we strive for to achieve national unity, sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity?
Now that the country has basically achieved reunification, it is time for the various warlords to end their disputes and implement the unification of military power. The Jin army and the National Army have made meritorious service to the country before, but now it is time to retreat bravely. This is also a manifestation of their meritorious service to the country. Otherwise, apart from causing greater war and disaster and giving the country more time, what are the benefits?
Commander Yan asked me to join forces with the National Army, but privately I disagreed. With our current strength, including those provinces in the southwest, can we defeat the People's Army? Our opposition to handing over military power to the People's Army is based on public sentiment or selfishness? Are we doing better than the PPP? If the fight continues, we will all be eternal sinners of the country!
Therefore, I advise Brother Zimin not to think about joining forces with Jin to resist Feng. Just give up when you see fit and lead the army to submit to the central government. This can be regarded as a good deed for the country and the people. I know you truly believe in God, but do you want God’s people to kill each other here? "
These words reached Zhang Zhijiang’s heart. Although he acted as the commander of the National Army, his abilities were limited and it was difficult to command a group of proud soldiers. The wars are getting worse and worse, the number of people is getting less and less, and the reputation is getting worse and worse. He no longer wants to be this commander.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about surrendering to the Jin Army before, but I also know that the next target of the People’s Army is the Jin Army, and the strength of the two families is not enough for the other party to drink a pot. At that time, if the Jin army was defeated again, he would be even more shameless.There are so many people.
Now even the chief of staff of the Jin army doesn’t want to fight, what else can he say? Think about his old boss Feng Yuxiang. As soon as the Kuomintang made a statement, he had to obediently go to the Soviet Union to "inspect". Compared with Feng Yuxiang, I am even worse. Since I have no way to save myself, I might as well stop here and make my final contribution to the country!
Thinking of this, he happily decided to call off the war and went to Beijing to plead guilty.
When he woke up and heard such good news, Zhang Hanqing drooled all over the floor. One of the two coaches went abroad and the other apologized. At this time, the National Army must have been confused. In order to avoid the recurrence of war and also serve as a reference for Yan Xishan's surrender, Zhang Hanqing magnanimously announced the surrender:
"No matter what political party or military affiliation, as long as they are united under the jurisdiction of the National Defense Commission under the premise of one China, they are part of the Chinese national defense force, and the central government is fully responsible for their expenditures."
Zhang Hanqing also appointed generals under Feng’s command. Later, Song Zheyuan, Liu Ruming, Sun Liangcheng, Sun Lianzhong, who were famous in the Anti-Japanese War, and the unknown Ji Hongchang and others were promoted and reused. In addition to organizing part of the army into local armed police forces, the rest will be dispersed and organized into new armies in the Jinan Military Region.
As for Zhang Zhijiang, not only is he not guilty, he has also made meritorious service to the country. He deserves a big award and a special award to set an example for others. Upon Zhang Hanqing's proposal, the central government decided to award Zhang Zhijiang the first-class Peace Medal.
"However, Zhang Zhijiang refused to receive the medal. He felt that he had already sorry for his old boss, and he did not want to rub salt in his wounds any more. After many requests, Zhang Hanqing agreed to go abroad and accompanied his old boss Feng Yuxiang to the Soviet Union to "continue" his inspection.
"In this way, Xu Yongchang used his persuasive words to let tens of thousands of Nationalist troops disarm and return to their fields. He not only solved the Feng Clan, but also weakened the Jin Clan. Killing two birds with one stone is a great achievement. Of course, he would not tell Yan Xishan about his role. However, Yan Xishan, who knew the news, completely lost trust in him and arranged for him to be the commander-in-chief of the Jin army's war mobilization.

Chapter 682: Holding the Emperor’s Order
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
After settling down the Feng clan and surrendering their troops and generals, Zhang Hanqing changed hands and faced Yan Xishan again. To deal with warlords who wanted both face and respect, Zhang Hanqing's method was very simple: "Holding the emperor to order the princes." This trick, which was overused by the ancients, is actually very effective.
In his capacity as the ruler of the Republic of China and in the name of the National Unification Committee, Duan Qirui appointed Yan Xishan as the Vice Chairman of the Administrative Committee, taking office immediately, and requested that "those who have official positions in the central government shall not concurrently hold provincial positions in the local area!"
This is the "Emperor's Order", which he cannot refuse morally. Otherwise, under the historical trend of the people's desire for peaceful reunification, he still has to do things that favor peace. First of all, he will be morally inferior. "Lianzhan" and other words, the pens of the People's Party Propaganda Department are not vegetarians.
Yan Xishan knew that this was a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so he refused to accept it at first. His reason was the old-fashioned reason of "nurturing the disease"; then, under the urging of "people from all parties", he announced his inauguration on September 5, but did not go to Beijing. See things.
Everyone has desires. It's normal for Yan Xishan not to want to leave, but what will happen when the civil and military officials he relies on to achieve success take his position? Would they want their old boss to stay here and dictate?
What is this called? Remote control command?
The mountains are not the only boats, the boats are the mountains.
In order to completely divide Shanxi's military and political affairs, Zhang Hanqing used a clever plan. He immediately appointed Shang Zhen as the commander of the newly established Shanxi 1st Army by order of the central government. He used the contradiction between Shang and Yan to widen the rift between the two parties; he then appointed Yan Xishan's commander. His confidant Zhao Daiwen is the governor of Shanxi Province, which prevents him from having a big backlash.
The military power is handed over to Shang Zhen, and the political power is given to Zhao Daiwen. It will not be fun without Yan Xishan to rely on.
At first, he could still maintain his presence in Shanxi's military and political circles based on his former prestige. However, when Shanxi's administrative management began to operate according to the new structure of the central government, he gradually found that his words began to fail.
First of all, Zhao Daiwen has his own method of governance. When he was Yan Xishan's staff, his talents were seriously buried. When one day you have the power in your hands, you will definitely act on your orders. At this time, it is inevitable that some ideas conflict with Yan Xishan. Although Zhao Zeng was his chief military adviser, if he did not leave, Zhao Daiwen's position as governor would be very embarrassing. If things go on like this, there will definitely be a rift between the two.
The same is true in the army. The Jin Army, which was adapted according to the requirements of the People's Army's organizational division, will inevitably absorb and borrow some things from the People's Army, such as the Political Department, Logistics Department, etc. As we all know, the People's Party's penetration ability is very strong.
Secondly, the relationship is a sound system that effectively cuts off the black hands reaching out to the Jin army. The People's Army has its own strict system to manage the army, and controlling the chief officers alone is not very effective. But when the support of officers and soldiers comes from the Shang Dynasty, the logistics departments of the People's Army at all levels can easily choke their necks.
Who allowed them to be adapted? Following the People's Army's thinking, it is very difficult to produce warlords in the army.
“Without the military power, what’s the point of Yan Xishan staying in Yamamoto?” Rather than being kicked out in the end, it would be better to take office in a glorious manner.
However, before Yan Xishan had no choice but to enter Beijing, he still ordered Xu Yongchang and Yang Aiyuan to be responsible for the aftermath of Shanxi's aftermath as the chief and deputy commanders of Shanxi Security Command.
Although Xu Yongchang has been marginalized after the previous war, his long-term personal charm in Jin makes him the best candidate to suppress Shang Zhen. The Shanxi army was reorganized. Although Shang Zhen was appointed commander of the 1st Army, he was increasingly isolated. Shang Zhen was angry but had no good way to deal with it.
Zhang Hanqing’s measure to control dissident troops was to deny pay on the pretext that the army was not reorganized. For all the troops in Shanxi Province, in order to maintain the supply of the army, they all used devalued Jin banknotes, and Shang Zhen, as the highest official of the garrison in Shanxi Province, now had a channel to vent his anger.
Since the Gao Hongwen and Huang Guanghua brigades of the 1st Army Feng Pengzhu's division were Shang Zhen's old brigades and were not their own, Shang Zhen used all the financial resources at the provincial government's disposal to provide cash subsidies to the two brigades. As for the other armies, if it doesn’t make me happy, why should it make you happy?
At first, the military pay and military supplies were delayed, and then the pay was delayed, which made everyone feel that it was a bit harsh. The generals were dissatisfied because of this, and Wang Jingguo, Sun Chu and other Yan's direct generals expressed great dissatisfaction, and their emotions even reached opposition.
Shang Zhen knew that the contradiction was difficult to reconcile, so he simply made the problem superficial. You, Yan Xishan, are unkind and don't cherish old friendships. Don't blame me for being unjust to someone. He first proposed the abolition of the village administration office appointed by Yan Xishan at a meeting of the provincial government committee, and then replaced 25 county heads at once!
As a result, public opinion was uproar, and it finally turned into a meeting of Taiyuan businessmen to drive out business. On the banks of Wenying Lake, a group of people denounced it; at the same time, the military circles were also planning to drive away businessmen. Shang Zhen?, but couldn't hold it back. Zhang Hanqing only dealt with one person at a time. Without Yan Xishan as his backing, the division commanders ultimately failed to defeat the "orthodox" Central Committee. And Yan Xishan, who had no army and territory, could only continue to be his vice chairman.
In this way, Zhang Hanqing used the enemy to defeat the enemy, and successively eliminated the National Army of Sun Yue and Feng Yuxiang, the Shanxi National Army of Yan Xishan, the last force of the Anhui clique, Lu Yongxiang of Zhejiang, and the dissident Sun Chuanfang of Fujian. In addition to the southwestern border provinces, There is no longer an influential opposition force in mainland China.
For the first time in modern history, mainland China has achieved formal political and territorial unification, twenty years earlier than the same situation in official history. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 683 Disarmament (Part 1)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
"Unified military order" is a necessary policy for establishing a centralized government. When the military in the southeast is gaining successive victories, the call for international disarmament cannot be ignored. The international community expressed support for Duan Qirui's ruling government, but also called on China to reduce its troops - a country that is not rich actually has an army of 1.2 million people at this time!
The Feng Faction also needs to reduce the number of troops: in the process of the growth of the Feng Army and the People's Army, a large number of captured officers and soldiers have been absorbed, and it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of good and bad. In addition, because the supply of military and political cadres trained by the Northeast Military Lecture Hall and the People's Army Political Training Corps exceeds demand, many troops need to be improved in terms of combat effectiveness and political literacy.
Since China has reached formal unification, it is expected that domestically, the People's Army will have full capabilities to suppress any opposition forces. In this case, it makes little sense to continue to simply compare the numbers of armies.
It is also very difficult to continue to support such a large army financially: with the expansion of five-year compulsory education in centrally controlled provinces, thousands of machine tools imported from Germany have arrived in Hong Kong, and the expansion and construction of Hanyang Arsenal and Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, The construction of military projects such as the Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, and the Harbin Seaplane Manufacturing Plant costs a lot of money.
And after experiencing a series of wars, all parts of the Central Plains need to recuperate, and maintaining such a large number of troops is indeed financially powerless.
The international situation in the 20th century was dominated by rest and recuperation. All countries did not have the ability or suitable soil to support the government's military actions. Therefore, the next period of time will be a golden period for China's economic development.
Therefore, the improvement of military strength and reduction of government affairs quickly became an important issue at this stage, and the country invested its limited financial resources in economic construction. The Kuomintang still agrees with this point - anyway, Mr. Sun Yat-sen currently has no soldiers, so let's thoroughly seek peace for the country and welfare for the people! The People's Party wants to cut off its own arms, which is what it wants.
Therefore, according to Zhang Hanqing’s opinion, after more than a month of deliberation and negotiation, the “National Defense Committee” set the tone and convened a meeting of all parties to discuss troop reduction matters.
At the request of the dominant People’s Army Headquarters and the National Defense Commission, local forces in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou sent representatives to Beijing to hold talks.
Since the beginning of the Republic of China, Sichuan has experienced Yin Changheng's administration of Sichuan, Xiong Kewu's rebellion against Yuan, Chen Huan Tuchuan, Liu Cunhou's chaos in Sichuan, Xiong Kewu's period, the rise of the Succeeding Clique, Liu Chengxun's short-term administration, and the war against thieves. The Beijing government appointed Yang Sen as the Sichuan Military Affairs Officer. Supervisors: Deng Xihou is the governor of Sichuan, Liu Cunhou is the supervisor of the Sichuan-Shaanxi border defense, and Liu Xiang is the supervisor of the Sichuan-Yunnan border defense.
Yang Sen was appointed as the Military Superintendent of Sichuan and held great power. As a result, the express system split into two systems: Liu Xiang's Old Second Army and Yang Sen's New Second Army. Regarding Yang Sen's coming from behind, Liu Xiang remained calm on the surface, but secretly contacted Liu Chengxun, Liu Wenhui, Lai Xinhui, etc. to form an anti-Yang alliance of "three Lius and one lai", and instigated rebellion against Yang Sen's king Zanxu and others.
The civil war in Sichuan is inevitable. Zhang Hanqing doesn't care about the chaos in central Sichuan. Let it be chaos. He can defeat it one by one.
After the Guizhou Army responded to Sun Yixian's crusade against Gui Clan Lu Rongting, the Guizhou Army returned to Yuan Zuming. After Yuan became the commander-in-chief of the Guizhou Army, he organized the Guizhou Army into six divisions. How can we bear to abandon the army that we finally expanded? However, the "Disarmament Committee" headed by Zhang Zuoxiang had unquestionable perseverance. Yuan Zuming had no choice but to swallow his saliva, but said that he had few people and had to wait for the People's Army to disband first.
The predecessor of the Yunnan Army was the Yunnan New Army in the late Qing Dynasty. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Qing government established two New Army towns in Yunnan to guard the border and strengthen its rule. Unexpectedly, they were overthrown by the New Army. Subsequently, under the leadership of General Cai E, the Yunnan Army took the lead in opposing Yuan Shikai's proclaimed emperor and fired the first shot in the war to protect the country. It became famous throughout the country and achieved the earliest glory of the Yunnan Army.
When Tang Jiyao took office as the governor of Yunnan, the Yunnan Army expanded from an army of only two divisions to three armies in a short period of time, with a number of about 100,000 people. The army was enriched with advanced military theory and technology and excellent military leaders. At that time, 80% of the key command personnel of the Yunnan Army came from the Yunnan Military Academy. The significance of the Military Academy to the Yunnan Army was no less than that of the Whampoa Military Academy to the Kuomintang army.
After Tang Jiyao took office as the governor of Yunnan, he organized the army and organized military operations. In the name of running a training group, he defrauded a lot of weapons and equipment from the Beiyang warlords (before the War to Protect the Country). In addition, he also sent people everywhere to purchase a lot of weapons from Germany, Japan, and France (French weapons were mainly shipped to Yunnan from Vietnam, the then French colony). These weapons were enriched into the Yunnan Army, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Yunnan Army. .
Tang Jiyao also did a lot in terms of administrative management, such as establishing a Copper Co., Ltd. in Huize, implementing unified management of mining in the province, encouraging commercial activities, etc. TheseThis policy effectively guaranteed the province's fiscal revenue and became an important economic support for the subsequent war to protect the country.
Under such a situation, if they were unified under the central government, they would undoubtedly have spent many years of hard work making wedding clothes for others, which would make Tang Ziran feel unhappy.
Regarding the Guangxi Clan, Li Zongren’s Dinggui Army and Huang Shaohong’s Guangxi Army against Bandits once united to form the Dinggui Army Against Bandits, which defeated Lu Rongting and Shen Hongying’s troops, ending the rule of the old Guangxi warlords.
The Gui Army was later reorganized into the 1st and 2nd Corps of the Guangxi Army. Li was appointed as the Supervisor of the Guangxi Appeasement Office and Commander of the 1st Army, Huang was appointed as the Council Office and Commander of the 2nd Army, and Bai Chongxi was appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Office. This army has a total of 12 columns, 1 independent brigade and 1 detachment, with about 30,000 people.
Although there are few soldiers, the Guangxi army is the most capable of fighting among the southern provinces. There is a saying that describes it well: "The Guizhou army and the Dian army are two sheep, and the Hunan army is a wolf; the monkeys of Guangxi are the Gui army, as fierce as tigers and as evil as wolves!" "
The reason is that Guangxi is located in a borderland and its economy and culture have been relatively backward since ancient times. After Qin Shihuang annexed the six kingdoms, he sent troops to Baiyue. The Qin army fought hard for three years but made no progress. He was forced to use all his national resources to dig the Ling Canal and conquer this "barbaric land". Because it was far away from the center of the empire, Guangxi became a place of exile. Coupled with the wars between successive dynasties and Vietnam, Guangxi's folk customs were brave, fierce, and fierce.
In modern times, Guangxi soldiers gradually showed strong combat effectiveness: when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom swept across China, Hong Xiuquan initially relied on a "militia" composed of more than 20,000 men, women, and children. They fought all the way from Jintian, Guangxi to Nanjing, Jiangsu, and almost overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty. But in the end, the "old brothers" in Guangxi were exhausted, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also moved towards its final defeat.
In the official history of World War II, even the famous American general Stilwell once admitted: "Guangxi soldiers are the best soldiers in the world."
Even so, Li Zongren, the leader of the Guangxi clique, did not dare to stand up to the overwhelming power of the Kuomintang. He took the initiative to send representatives to participate, and even told Zhang Hanqing that "the Gui army will follow the lead of the young commander."

Chapter 684 Disarmament (Part 2)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Regarding the central disarmament, everyone has the same mentality: the People's Army has 30 army divisions with nearly 970,000 people, and together with the Central Navy, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the government and is actually its private army, the total number of people reaches one million; in addition There are also the newly recruited Yan, Feng, Sun, Lu and other tribes, totaling about 200,000 people, and the so-called "reserve troops" of about 80,000 people.
This is still documented, and the armed police forces of various provinces are not included.
If we want to disarm, we must first start with the disarmament of the people's armed forces! We are just afraid that the People's Party will use disarmament as a cover and adopt a strategy of strengthening weak branches and strengthening cadres. This is a tacit concern of all parties.
Zhang Hanqing is naturally very clear about the evil intentions of all parties. He understood it very well, because no matter which warlord side he was in, he would never complain that his side had fewer troops. Therefore, after disarmament representatives from all parties gathered in Beijing, the People's Party quickly proposed a plan: all parties would reduce their military strength in equal proportions, so that the country would retain an overall number of one million troops.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the state and uniformly provide food and salary, of course, the provincial finances are no longer allowed to have military-related expenditures.
This approach is actually very pertinent. Because the People's Army is the largest force, in terms of absolute numbers, they will also be cut more. The "losses" of factions with smaller numbers are also limited.
??For the old, young, border and poor provinces, the finances of the country are not sufficient. Now that the state supports them, of course they are willing——although the number of people is smaller than before, it can save huge expenses! Besides, the command of the army is still in their hands! So this plan was generally accepted by all parties.
The Feng faction headed by Zhang Zuoxiang in the Disarmament Committee first stated that it would reduce the army's manpower resources by 30% in the first phase.
Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi then expressed their agreement: the People's Army will cut down 9 divisions and nearly 300,000 people in proportion, which has clearly expressed the sincerity of the central government. The economies of their three provinces are not developed, especially the two provinces of Guizhou and Yunnan each have about 100,000 troops. This is a remote area and it is more than enough to defend the province. They really do not want to bear too much military expenditure;
The Guangxi faction has a small number of people, but they have long wanted to build an elite army and increase the proportion of modern weapons such as artillery in the army. The savings in military expenditures just fulfilled this wish, and the reduction of several thousand personnel had no significant impact on the Gui Army, which had the numerical advantage of the South China People's Army.
And Sichuan Governor Yang Sen also wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate the strength of his political opponents, so he made a promise to reduce the Sichuan Army's troops by 50,000.
How could Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Hanqing not know their little thoughts? However, the People's Army had already made plans to reduce its troops, so amid the praise of the people across the country, the People's Army began to reduce its troops by 290,000 people.
Zhang Hanqing would not be stupid enough to destroy the Great Wall. Now is far from the time when swords and guns are stored in the warehouse and horses are released in Nanshan: many local forces are still there, and the country has only completed the unification of situation, but the southwestern provinces are still in the hands of warlords, and the Japanese troops in the northeast are still in the hands of warlords. With all these factors in mind, troop reduction is not only unfeasible but also needs to be strengthened.
He first asked the "National Defense Commission" to pass the "Regulations on the Responsibilities of the National Armed Police in Peacetime", giving the Armed Police Force the power to station troops and security responsibilities in each province, so that the reduced officers and soldiers in various places can be incorporated into the Armed Police Force.
This method allowed Beijing, Tianjin, Zhili (Hebei), Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Shandong, Fujian, and Zhejiang, which were later controlled by the People's Army, plus the newly entered Shanxi Communist Party 15 provinces and cities accommodate 300,000 non-staff personnel.
In a word, the number of "retired soldiers" that these places will absorb is more than the number of people who will retire, but the name is no longer the People's Army.
This is because after taking control of various places, many miscellaneous armies were mixed, and we just took this opportunity to eliminate some old soldiers and oily soldiers. In addition, by strengthening the armed police force, local areas were effectively controlled, and the remaining army was completely separated from local garrison tasks and truly became the national defense force.
The reduced structures and skeletons of each division are still retained, and the remaining key officers go to various military academies for rotational training, which can be regarded as reserve strength for national defense.
After entering Xinjiang, the Northwest People's Army, together with the previously established "Xinjiang Construction Corps", was reorganized into a larger team entering Xinjiang to strengthen the country's control over the northwest and to support troops with troops.
Different from a few years ago, the "Construction Corps" at this time has controlled all parts of Xinjiang and major cities, and has built more than a dozen new corps cities in northern and southern Xinjiang, such as Shihezi (later becoming the second largest city in Xinjiang) ), Wujiaqu City, Alar, etc. For the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway under construction, a "railway corps" was established to manage the construction with troops. This method can absorb more than 100,000 redundant people.
The same method has also been applied to Northeast China.
Zhang Hanqing established the "Beidahuang Construction Corps" to go deep into the northernmost part of the Northeast and the Heilongjiang River Basin, and placed some of the eliminated officers and soldiers there to cultivate land during peacetime. In wartime, they can quickly turn industry and agriculture into soldiers to support the Northeast.War situation - of course, he still regards Japan as the biggest imaginary enemy in his heart. The troop reduction in the pass is in full swing, but the six permanent divisions stationed in the Northeast Base Camp have not moved at all.
Mongolia has also formed a construction corps, but its main force is Mongolian and Han people from Suiyuan, Chahar, Rehe and other places. It is led by some People's Army officers who have retired or are about to retire due to their age.
After the restrictions on immigration from the mainland were lifted, no less than 100,000 people poured into this vast and sparsely populated northern barrier within a year to reclaim wasteland and mine. What the central government has done is to organize these people into major state-owned farms and mines to carry out organized production.
Then the disarmament began. Except for the five main divisions of the People's Army, which remained stationary, each of the other divisions went to an average of one brigade and were reorganized into the armed police force. They just changed the designation, changed the uniforms, and left the artillery regiment.
Some of the elite troops were also cut, but they were incorporated into the Bohai Fleet, Yangtze River Fleet, and South China Fleet as marine forces to enrich the naval force. While the Bohai and Yangtze fleets originally had a marine brigade, the third and fourth marine brigades were formed, respectively belonging to the South China Fleet and the Bohai Fleet, to consolidate the capital's defense circle.
The other part is organized into 4 aviation regiments and is under the jurisdiction of the newly established aviation group (the commander is Liu Zuocheng).
However, Zhang Hanqing still felt that the country's military strength was too small and could not meet the needs of the situation. In order to reduce the number of personnel without reducing firepower, five heavy artillery regiments directly under the National Defense Commission have been established. They are planned to be equipped with newly produced 105mm howitzers and cannons as the main battle firepower of the military level. Later, these artillery regiments successively equipped the 1st, 4th, 27th, 28th, and 29th divisions of the elite troops of the People's Army.
In a word, these 290,000 infantrymen are quite a lot. They are just converted from the army to the police or to be armed with hoe, and they do not occupy the national defense establishment. In peacetime, the army is converted to civilians, and in wartime, civilians are converted to military forces. However, the proportion of other arms is increasing, and the combat effectiveness of the People's Army has not decreased but increased.
Not only that, there are 20,000 more people in the navy and air force. However, everyone thinks that the navy is weak, and the existing warlords of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou are all in the southwest inland and do not know the situation at sea.

Chapter 685 Someone has an opinion

Yan Xishan, who had been stripped of his military power, could not sit still for the first time. He decided to take a desperate risk and restore the strength of the Jin army at this time. Otherwise, when the People's Army successfully reduces its troops, it will lose all its power and have no chance at all.
He sent people to secretly contact Ma Longtan and Wan Fulin, the veterans of the Fengcian faction, and Zhang Jinghui, commander of the 16th garrison division, who had just been ordered to be changed to the main force of the Mongolian Construction Corps. These people still hold military power and are quite influential in the Feng clan.
And Wan Fulin is already the chief general of the Southwest People's Army. If they can attack first, the impact on the People's Army will be considerable, and the southwest princes will also have the confidence to oppose the central government. Just imagine how this disarmament can be achieved when civil strife occurs? If he does not disarm, he will naturally have reason to keep the army in hand.
In addition, people were sent across the Yellow River to discuss with Hu Jingyi, the former leader of the Yasukuni Army and the former commander of the 6th Division of the Northwest People's Army, who was about to be reorganized into the Xinjiang Construction Corps, and Ma Tingxiang, the commander of the Ningxia Armed Police Corps, and prepared to use force to reject the annexation. Bring Sun Yat-sen to the stage.
They also contacted Zhang Zongchang, who was far away in Xinjiang, and looked forward to his response, who was also "assigned" as the commander of the Xinjiang Construction Corps.
These armies are located in the northwest, northern and northeastern Mongolian areas. The plan is to use surprise attacks to annihilate or expel the People's Army troops in the northwest and establish an army that includes the entire province of Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Suiyuan. The "Northwestern National Revolutionary Government". Also interested in joining this group were generals such as Shi Yousan and Han Fuqu from Feng Yuxiang's army.
Because several places are close to each other, if it is really activated, it can form a large area of ??influence. The key is that these places are vast and sparsely populated, and the current transportation is not convenient. It is very difficult for the People's Army to form an overwhelming advantage in the short term. At this time, the southwestern provinces, which have always acted according to the prevailing situation, will definitely take advantage of the opportunity, so that the Feng faction cannot devote all their energy to the struggle against the National Army.
Among them, Zhang Jinghui played a very important role by jumping up and down.
Zhang Jinghui is a veteran of the Feng clan who has followed Zhang Zuolin through life and death for a long time. He is very ambitious, but he is gradually marginalized in the competition of the new forces headed by the young marshal.
Seeing "outsiders" - what Zhang Jinghui refers to as generals who are not from the Fengxian clan - such as Jiang Baili, Yu Xuezhong, etc. Guo Songling, Jiang Dengxuan, and Han Linchun, the "juniors" of the Fengjun army, have all become senior officials. Ji Jinchun, who led the army at the same time as him, also became a prince. He was still an "obscure" division commander, and he was dissatisfied.
It's just that Zhang Zuolin never took a good look at the internal strife among his own people. When Tang Yulin betrayed the commander-in-chief and went to Feng Delin, Zhang Zuolin hid him in the snow for five years, and was eventually shot by the commander-in-chief on the grounds of "corruption and indifference to human life." , has a lot to do with Jiu Su.
The young marshal seemed to be biased against himself - Zhang Hanqing could never forget that he had served as a steadfast lackey of the Japanese and the Prime Minister of the Puppet Manchukuo in official history - so he placed his troops in Zhangbei and Guisui on the outskirts of Beijing. , gradually moving away from the political center.
Zhang Jinghui didn’t have any objections to this troop reduction at first. He didn’t expect Zhang Zuolin to make a new appointment for him. Didn’t you see that all the colleagues you had before were all high-ranking officials who were responsible for their own duties? But when he saw that among the nine divisions cut by the People's Army, only he belonged to the Lao Feng faction, and that he had been promoted to the "insignificant" commander of the Mongolian Construction Corps, he couldn't help but get angry.
The purpose of soldiers’ existence is to fight. Isn’t it disgusting to wear military uniforms and do farm work?
Among the officers and soldiers of the 9 divisions cut off, 4 were directly reorganized new divisions, and there was also a student division under the jurisdiction of Wei Yisan of Central China - Zhang Jinghui's name for the 8th Division, which was mainly composed of graduates of the Wuhan Military Academy (this The main force of this unit was dismantled to various places), the main force was half of the original 12th Division of the Hubei Army, the 11th Division of the Guangzhou Military Region where Jin Yunyu was located cut off 2 infantry regiments (all of them were people who originally followed Jin Yunyu), and Part of the 6th Division of the Northwest People's Army adapted from the Jingguo Army, and most of the original 5th Division of Xu Lanzhou adapted from the Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sui armies.
Jin Yun'e is the younger brother of the former Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng. His inclusion is only a temporary measure. As the situation develops, it seems inappropriate to keep this person in his place and as a high-ranking official with heavy troops. But Zhang Hanqing didn't want to do this. A lot of court officials were staring at him. He promoted him to the chief of staff of the Guangzhou Military Region. This was his actual title, but he had to relinquish the post of division commander. .
Jin Yunyu knew that he was not a close confidant of the young marshal, so he was very cautious about military arrangements. Not only did he readily agree, he also carefully handed over the military power, which was praised by his superiors and subordinates. Originally, being promoted to chief of staff was not only a promotion in position but also real power, so what else could he do?
Fengjun veterans Wan Fulin and Ma Longtan both held heavy troops, and Wan Geng was once in charge of the elite 29th Division. But they are all loyal to Zhang Zuolin and have no second thoughts - with Zhang Zuolin's charisma and current influence, even if theyThen Zhang Hanqing even more playfully ordered Zhang Zongchang to send the special envoy directly back to Yan Xishan for processing with great fanfare, which made Lao Yan come to the door again to express his support for the central government and to swear to heaven and earth that he had no second intention, and even wanted to kill him with his own hands. That biting envoy, if the envoy wasn't still on the way.
Zhang Hanqing said generously: "How could I doubt Vice Chairman Yan's personality? The reason why I let you handle it is because I believe in your performance. Under the current situation, who will have his head kicked by a donkey and want to go against the central government?" ?Am I right?"
Yan Xishan gritted his teeth and smiled: "That's it, that's it. Anyone who can't see the situation clearly is stupider than a donkey!"
From now on, there will be no more monsters in Shanxi. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 686 Power
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The reason why Zhang Zongchang is so enlightened is that his new position is very popular with him.
At first, he went to Xinjiang Province again with the feeling of being demoted, but he soon found fun. In a situation where central government orders can only be conveyed to the whole of Xinjiang through Fan Yaonan, as the commander of the Xinjiang Provincial Construction Corps who was appointed by the emperor instead of Zhang Zuolin, a local powerful faction last time, he is like the emperor here.
Specific business, policy, and political affairs are all handled by Niu Yuanfeng, a senior assistant in the Fengcheng department. He knows that he is not the material, and he also knows that the young marshal uses Niu Yuanfeng not to let him interfere with specific work. He just turned around and was the boss, doing what he liked in the name of commander.
" Galloping on the battlefield thousands of miles away, killing all reactionaries according to the young marshal's secret instructions: inside the country, outside the territory, everything, it is extremely happy.
These cunning and perhaps half-covered separatists finally met an opponent who was more cunning and cruel than them, because Zhang Zongchang did not just preach to them tirelessly like government officials. He was not an educator, but an Executor, he only likes one word "kill".
At the beginning of his entry into Xinjiang, he asked all the provinces (not yet changed to cities or regions) to announce his Anjiang policy to the counties: equality of all ethnic groups (this is what Zhang Hanqing requested), separation of politics and religion, no forced belief in religion and mutual discrimination, Public security is left to the government. Crowds are not allowed to cause trouble. Reactionary propaganda is strictly prohibited. Reports of collusion with foreign forces and those who harbor and fund separatists are strictly prohibited.
If you don’t like this country, please leave, but don’t harm it.
This is called courtesy first and then fighting.
Then we began to encircle and suppress small groups of horse bandits, foreign mercenaries traveling in Xinjiang Province, explorers who entered the country illegally, and budding dissenters, and trace their activity areas, strongholds, and sources of funding after capture.
Then kill them in a selective manner.
We killed the separatist forces to the point where they were afraid in their dreams, and killed the foreign forces to the point where they fled in panic.
The name of "Butcher Zhang" resounded throughout Xinjiang Province, frightening a large number of hostile elements who had intentions for China's reunification, and played a considerable role in stabilizing the situation in the border areas. The entry of a large number of land reclamation officers and soldiers also brought new vitality to the area. These well-trained and well-organized people formed production units in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, revitalizing the Xinjiang province, which is rich in products.
Zhang Hanqing's method of using evil to control evil actually received unexpected rewards, which shocked those who had always criticized the people's army for harboring a devil general like Zhang Zongchang. It turns out that people who use their talents to the best of their ability can really achieve this!
Zhang Zuolin and other central leaders were very pleased that the situation in Xinjiang Province, which was also a close enemy of Mongolia, was so good. They also sent several telegrams of commendations, praising Zhang Zongchang for his "literary and military skills", which made Zhang Zongchang elated.
For such a rough man like him, the Zhang family and his son showed such great love, which was a great blessing. That's why he remained unmoved when Yan Xishan sent a special envoy to encourage him to join the anti-Fengtian group. Yan Xishan has just come to power. Can his status be better than it is now? It is true that he is a reckless man, but he is not stupid. He knows his own trade.
Zhang Hanqing led the generals to fight and stabilized Yan Xishan. It was time to clean up the affairs within the People's Army. It is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders. There are many people like Zhang Jinghui who rely on their seniority and have the territory to bargain with the central government. Most people who come from the old Fengjun system, who doesn't know who they are?
A major change in the early stage has caused such fluctuations, and he has to be more cautious: it is time to shock these people and let them know that the army is the party's army, not their own private property. Their positions should not be their bargaining power!
With this idea in mind, he ordered cadres above division level in nearby North China, Garrison, and Northeast China to hold a conference in Beijing on September 10.
Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuoxiang, and Wu Jun were promoted to the town, and Zhang Hanqing presided over the meeting. A group of members of the Central Military Commission in Beijing were present, so the scale was not ordinary. Although everyone had guessed before coming that this meeting should be about some issues in the disarmament process, they never expected that the problem would be so serious.
Because the young marshal was unusually serious, and his following opening remarks were very concise:
"Is Zhang Jinghui here?"
The whole audience was in awe. Although there were voices of one kind or another at the beginning of disarmament, and there were actions of one kind or another in private, after hearing about Yan Xishan's conspiracy, everyone had a feeling that there would be big changes in the military!
But I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly, so suddenly, so directly.
Zhang Jinghui was already worried before he came. Alas, these incompetent people, who failed in many ways and failed in many things, made no progress in any direction, and Zhang Hanqing took the opportunity to defeat them one by one. ?, already 67 years old, unexpectedly had a second spring in his old age and assumed the important responsibility of a prince. Although everyone knows that this is just an excess, having this kind of heart is enough to comfort him throughout his life, and it also makes the main force of the 29th Division and Commander Song Jiuling join forces and complement each other.
The status of the three major construction corps was also clarified at the meeting: the Xinjiang Provincial Construction Corps is at the Zhengda Military Region level, which is also consistent with the status of its commander Zhang Zongchang. After all, he was previously the military governor of Shandong Province and briefly served as deputy commander of the Navy of the Republic of China. Commander-in-Chief;
The Beidahuang Construction Corps is also at the level of the Zhengda Military Region, because its commander, Pei Qixun, has just been promoted from division commander to deputy commander of the military region. This part-time corps commander is obviously of a lower rank, so there is still room for promotion, and Pei will work hard;
Only the Mongolian Construction Corps ranks at the deputy military region level. Zhang Hanqing's reason is that Mongolia's limited grassland cannot be over-exploited, so there is no need for a large number of agricultural workers. Instead, mining is the main focus, and there will not be too many people needed for the time being In this way, Zhang Jinghui seems to have been promoted to one level, but the important 16th Division The division commander was laid off from his part-time job. Basically, his military career was over.
Zhang Jinghui had no help, so he had no choice but to resist the thought of supporting his own troops and resisting with force. However, this thought was deeply buried in his heart. Once there is suitable soil, it will take root and sprout. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 689 The battle on the cultural front

By the end of 1922, the original five-year delivery date had arrived. However, due to economic crises of varying sizes occurring in various countries around the world during the same period, China was "no exception" - this was Zhang Hanqing's deliberate show of poverty. , in his opinion, it is time to cancel this huge unequal treaty that has greatly affected the dignity of the Chinese people.
At that time, the fiscal revenue of local governments under the control of the Fengcian clique accounted for more than 80% of the entire Republic of China. However, the old Fengcian clique headed by Zhang Zuolin did not agree with the central government's "obligation" to pay compensation, which made the government headed by Jin Yunpeng The central government is simply incapable of "fulfilling" its responsibilities.
At that time, the reason given by Zhang Hanqing was: the country had not yet been unified, and the Fengtian faction did not have the ability and obligation to be responsible for events in the country as a whole. Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng is not allowed to send notes to China and foreign countries asking for a moratorium on payment.
After the success of the Russian October Socialist Revolution, the Soviet government announced that it would relinquish all the privileges of Imperial Russia in China, including the return of the unpaid portion of the Boxer Indemnity. The Russians' privileges in China would also be cancelled, and in exchange for all these There is only one condition: the Beiyang government recognizes the new Soviet power.
In October 1922, with the support of Zhang Hanqing, the two countries signed the "China-Russia Agreement", which stipulated the purpose of refunds. In addition to repaying various debts of the Chinese government that had used Russian money as collateral, the remainder would be used for education in China. , a fund committee (Russian Boxer Indemnity Return Committee) jointly formed by representatives from China and the Soviet Union was responsible for handling the matter.
With the Soviet Union as a role model, you can’t seem too eager, right? At this time, the United States had decided to support the Feng faction headed by Zhang Hanqing, so it did not press too hard on this matter.
Only France, the United Kingdom, and Japan persisted, but the central government had no money, the "Finance Minister" was too tied to the task, and the imperialist countries did not dare to push China into the arms of the Soviet Union, so they had no choice but to postpone it again. For one year, it was just customs that was completely controlled by foreign countries.
Now that the Feng clique controls the central government, old issues are brought up again. Of course, the Zhangs and his son did not want to let this money go out in vain, so they had no choice but to repay the debt, which was only natural and natural, although the "debt" owed was a bit unreasonable. But unless Zhang Hanqing, like the Communist Party later, overturned the old order and refused to recognize it at all, there would be no way around this word "reason".
However, the conditions for total overthrow are not ripe: the United States, Japan, Britain, France and other countries have just signed the "Washington Treaty" and have reached an "open door" policy towards China. At least on the surface, they have entered a "harmonious period". Zhang Hanqing's usual method of "using barbarians to fight barbarians" failed. .
With China’s strength, it is now really arrogant to start an all-out war with Eastern and Western imperialism. I am afraid that future generations of Chinese people will call themselves the second Cixi.
“However, the European and American imperialists announced that they would give up the balance of the Boxer Indemnity, but in practice they always used this as an excuse to control the customs. However, the current situation does require that "in order to resist foreign aggression, we must first settle the domestic situation." After years of foreign aggression, we really don't care if it lasts longer. A small impatience will mess up a big plan. If the country cannot become strong as soon as possible, the days of humiliation are still to come.
The most unauthentic thing is Japan. Japan sent envoy Yamamoto, who is also the chairman of the "Manchurian Railway", to make the following amendments to the Japanese part of the Boxer Indemnity: "The Japanese Empire agreed to consider suspending the Boxer Indemnity. The compensation is that China will extend the jurisdiction of the 'New Fifth Road' and The facilities along the road will be under Japanese control for 20 years."
The so-called "Manchuria Railway", the full name is "South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd." It is famous in modern Chinese history and is known as the "national policy company". At that time, it not only provided the Kwantung Army with the power to engage in military and political strategies and seize economic lifeline, but also And it also fully served as the super logistics department of the Kwantung Army.
As early as 1905, after the Russo-Japanese War, Japan seized the right of way south of Changchun on the South Manchuria Branch of the Dongqing Railway in Northeast China from Russia. After that, Japan established the "South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd."
On the surface, this is a joint-stock company, but in fact it is Japan’s headquarters for invading China. Its successive presidents are all directly appointed by the Japanese government.
For Japanese imperialism, without the support of Japan's monopoly chaebol, it cannot carry out a war of aggression, because military strength is based on economic strength. At the time of the September 18th Incident, Japan's Kwantung Army had only more than 10,000 people. They occupied the three northeastern provinces in more than four months. Without the participation, cooperation and support of the powerful "Manchuria", it would be difficult for the Kwantung Army to succeed.
At this time, the "Manchurian Railway" already had a capital of 440 million, 1,100 kilometers of railways, 480 square kilometers of railway affiliated areas, nearly 40,000 employees and more than 50 related companies in the Northeast. Adhering to the master's will, it set its sights on the "Beijing-Harbin Line", which Zhang Hanqing regarded as an important competitor to the "South Manchuria Railway" and a strategic artery in Northeast China.
Two years ago in the NortheastA bloody financial battle cost Mantetsu participating companies their pants. After two years of licking their wounds, they appear to have recovered.
Zhang Zuolin, who has already taken power, will naturally not do this thing of "leaving his name in history" and digging his own grave, but he does not want to have such a strong resistance from Japan at a major historical juncture when the Gengzi Indemnity may be completely cancelled, and therefore in China's comprehensive It was not wise to turn against Japan when the economy was being restored, so he privately stated that he could instruct the government to conclude a secret peace treaty with Japan through negotiation.
But in return, the Japanese government must first clearly abandon the policy of Gengzi compensation.
“As China’s national power gradually grows stronger and the two major powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, have given up on reparations, continuing to demand this compensation will greatly increase the anti-Japanese sentiment of the Chinese people who have recovered. In order to show goodwill to China, the Japanese Congress passed a law and decided to transfer the remaining 72,108,776 yen of the Boxer Indemnity to "cultural undertakings with China" to cultivate agents in China.
To this end, Japan has enacted the "Special Accounting Law for Cultural Undertakings with China" and established a Cultural Affairs Bureau in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take charge of administrative work related to cultural undertakings with China.
Japanese officials in charge of cultural affairs with China, including Katsuki Idebuchi, held informal consultations with the Chinese Minister to Japan, Wang Rongbao, and others, and generally agreed that the subsequent Boxer Indemnity will be mainly used for cultural undertakings run by China, such as those in Beijing. Establish a library, an Institute of Humanities, and an Institute of Natural Sciences in Shanghai, and allocate 300,000 yuan each year to subsidize Chinese students studying in Japan. In addition, if there is any remaining funds, we will set up museums in appropriate locations, a medical university in Jinan, and a medical university in Guangdong. Establish medical schools and affiliated hospitals, etc.
On the surface, it seems that the Japanese are quite sincere. What they are unhappy about is that the Japanese require the Chinese government to continue to pay the Geng Jin, but this amount will be managed by a 10-member evaluation committee jointly participated by Chinese and Japanese. The use of funds seems to be nothing.
Therefore, with the idea of ????recovering every penny for the country, Zhang Hanqing acquiesced to the signing of the "Agreement on the Use of Boxer Indemnity for Cultural Affairs in China" at the beginning of this year.
Before the signing, there was another quarrel between the two parties over who should be the chairman of the review committee, because although this committee is composed of 5 people from China and 5 people from Japan, the chairman is Japanese.
Many well-informed people in China have opposed this agreement. They believe that this move is a "specious return of compensation" and "specious cooperation."
A group of cultural elites headed by Minister of Culture Liang Qichao demanded that "China and Japan jointly establish a cultural undertakings council, with half and half Chinese and Japanese directors, and one chairman, who should be filled by Chinese. This is the minimum limit", and It is proposed that if Japan cannot tolerate these measures, it will never participate in such an undertaking.
The Japanese government imposed pressure on Duan Qirui's government. According to usual practice, successive Chinese governments would acquiesce in hesitation, but this time they encountered the Zhang family and his son.
Zhang Zuolin, who doesn’t know a lot of Chinese characters, also learned a lot during several financial waves: it doesn’t matter how many committee members there are, the “long” character must be controlled by himself, otherwise he will definitely suffer.
So he opposed the agreement.
Knowing that it touched China’s sensitive nerves, Japan began to try to retreat. They proposed to the Chinese side: "The chairman of the committee can be appointed by a Chinese, but the committee's powers must not exceed the scope of Japanese laws. Regarding the three powers of project planning, regulation and management, if there are plans in the future, they must still be approved by the Imperial Diet of Japan. It will not take effect until later, and the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan still has the final decision.”
It can be seen that this General Committee is nothing more than a fictitious organization that has to take orders from Japan.
Zhang Hanqing felt very unhappy: Now the Japanese cannot be used as puppets politically, do they still want to use the Chinese as puppets culturally? They take our money and keep saying they will do things for us, but in the end they want us to be grateful and take advantage of the opportunity to reap huge benefits. Isn't this being a bitch and wanting to build a memorial arch at the same time?
He called on the People's Party's Federation of Students Abroad in Japan to issue a declaration, arguing that Japan intends to interfere in China's internal affairs under the guise of cultural undertakings; and that Japan's subsidies to Chinese students studying in Japan harbor the evil intentions of Japan's cultural aggression and are unacceptable.
The People's Party's mouthpiece "People's Party Daily" issued an editorial: "Be wary of another more covert aggression against China" and directly said no to this. The Chinese negotiators who received the instructions protested by withdrawing from the negotiations.
At this time, the memorandum of understanding between China, the Soviet Union, and the United States on the Boxer Indemnity had been signed. Feeling the pressure, the Japanese decided to lower their chips again. They proposed that the evaluation committee could decide on the project, but China's compensation must be handed over to the Japanese Bank Group. in the bank.
It’s another time to change the soup without changing the medicine! The money is handed over and put in your hand. What difference does it make if you hold it in your neck at any time? Therefore, Zhang Hanqing sternly pointed out that "Japan does not allow Chinese people to participate in its cultural undertakings in China. It is only designed for the interests of the Japanese empire and does not take into account the interests of the Chinese people themselves. This is clearly a precursor or subsidiary undertaking of Japan's colonial policy on mainland China." !
Afterwards, although he did not understand the seriousness of it, Zhang Zuolin still asked the negotiators to reject the Japanese proposal. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The enterprise does not allow Chinese people to participate in their opinions.

What’s interesting is that among the forces that advocated non-hostile relations with China, Ishihara Kanji, who later became a backbone of the Imperial Road faction, actually contributed a lot. This is nothing short of a huge irony.
Known as "Japan's number one military strategist," Kanji Ishihara is a very calm-minded soldier, which is different from other Japanese military staff officers who like to make people crazy. He understands Chinese. Although he is not as familiar with China as Ito Hirobumi, he maintains the simplest understanding of China. Through his long-term personal experience in China, he believes that the idea that China can be conquered only in a short-term decisive battle is very wrong:
"China has a high degree of civilization since ancient times, and its material life is extremely primitive. Each place has a high degree of self-sufficiency. These have become extremely favorable conditions for a protracted war. If a war breaks out, it is possible that China will be forced to fight a decisive battle, but it will Whether it will turn into a protracted war depends mainly on China's intentions."
He has a clear understanding of China and opposes the relatively established domestic views: “Until the Meiji Restoration, China was feared as an advanced country in Asia. The Japanese thought that China was an old and decrepit country since they defeated China in the Sino-Japanese War. country and look down upon it.”
Through personal research in China, he believes that China has undergone earth-shaking changes under the leadership of the People's Party and has lost its strategic advantage over China at this time.
Even if you can’t be friends, don’t be enemies, this is Ishihara Wanji’s view. Both China and the Soviet Union have become major land powers. Japan cannot defeat these two giants even with all its strength. The expansion direction of the Yamato nation can only be at sea. At present, the power of Britain and the United States in the Pacific and Southeast Asia is very weak.
It’s a pity that there are not many politicians in Japan who can have his kind of strategic vision.
In fact, the Chinese also have strategic problems, which are "more war worries and less strategic rationality" and "more strategic completion and less strategic development." Perhaps, the foreign aggression of Di Yi is the biggest enemy that the introverted China has encountered. Confucian culture is actually a kind of conservative rather than progressive. The inertia formed over thousands of years makes it difficult for China to have the motivation to pay attention to the outside world, even in the After opening your eyes to see the world.
Zhang Hanqing’s analysis of China is objective and fair, and his views on Japan are naturally not biased. In his view, strategy requires philosophy, and Japan does not have philosophy.
Counting over Japan, let alone Chairman Mao, there are not even outstanding commanders like Liu Bocheng, Peng Dehuai, and Deng Xiaoping.
Yamamoto Isoroku is an alternative to the Japanese army. More than 70 years ago, he knew about aerial determinism and seemed to have touched the essence of modern warfare. In fact, this magical stroke was just the result of his impulse. He did not understand the epoch-making significance of his original tactics. He still set his sights on big guns and giant ships.
Not long after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan built the world's largest battleship "Yamato". On the contrary, the Americans, who were beaten to pieces by Japan, captured the light of victory from the disastrous defeat.
During the Meiji period, most of the Japanese names were heroic, such as Ito Hirobumi (a gentleman who is knowledgeable in literature), Yamagata Aritomo (a friend comes from afar), Natsume Soseki (a pillow that washes stones), Okuma Shigenobu (the people will not stand without faith), Miya. Qi Taotian At the beginning of the 20th century, Mao Weiren, who was still a middle school student, wrote him a letter and called him "Mr. Bailang Taotian".
Later, there was a word that "the heavy rain fell down the swallow, and Bai Lang was heer" was inspired by this, but Mao must have noticed the extraordinary name of the Japanese name, otherwise he would not call that.
But these sonorous names are far away from today’s Japanese.
Strategic duel is actually a pattern duel and a spiritual duel. At this point, Japan is far behind. A country that cannot clearly understand the other party, nor can it seriously dissect itself, but only relies on luck and gambles on the fate of the country to make political judgments and operations. Such a country will cover up the problems when things are going smoothly, but once the core problems break out , there will be the risk of national subjugation.
Only a fool would ally with such a country.
Strictly speaking, in the official history, Japan can only show off against the backward China. When facing the United States and the Soviet Union, which have much stronger industrial capabilities, it immediately becomes clear that its backwardness in tactics and weapons is different from that of old China and its The contrast is consistent. When the Republic of China under the leadership of Zhang Hanqing develops, especially in the foreseeable future, China will be on par with the United States and the Soviet Union. Japan and she are not of the same size.
Even now, the equipment of the vast majority of China's army is no worse than that of the Japanese army. Due to the numerical advantage, Zhang Hanqing dared to fight with it. Although he said it tactfully, the visiting Japanese dignitaries were all smart people and they naturally understood what he meant.
Chang Tso-lam's government "stubbornly" refused to recognize the Central PlainsBorrowing money, rejecting the Boxer Indemnity for Sino-Japanese cultural "goodwill" and embarrassing the Japanese government in front of the great powers, and now rejecting the Sino-Japanese military alliance proposal, this made the Japanese elites present very unhappy. It seems that the Zhang family and his son are determined to be enemies of Japan!
Nagata Tieshan said displeasedly: "Mr. Marshal, I know you have millions of troops under your command now, and I'm afraid this is where your confidence lies. But please note that the Empire of Japan just did not arm its people! As long as we If you are willing, you can mobilize four or five times your elite divisions at any time! In Asia, we absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of a government that is unfriendly to Japan!
Japan-China friendship and the establishment of a political and military group that shares weal and woe including China, Mongolia, North Korea, and Taiwan are beneficial to everyone. Why do you always oppose it? With the support of the Japanese government, China can completely achieve national reunification like Japan. Isn't this the goal you have always claimed? "
Zhang Hanqing said sternly: "Mr. Nagata needs to correct a common-sense mistake: Mongolia and Taiwan are both inseparable parts of China's territory and should not be treated side by side with China! And as long as China is willing, it can always be armed ten or twenty times more than it is currently of military strength.
If you remember correctly, Mr. Nagata is very knowledgeable about military mobilization. If China must enter a state of war, our mobilization population and scale will make Mr. Nagata unable to sleep!
As for Sino-Japanese relations, Mr. Nagata, maybe you misunderstood me. We are willing to establish political and economic relations of cooperation and mutual assistance with all countries that are friendly to China, which naturally includes Japan. As you said, Japan's military power is so powerful that we are embarrassed to join a military alliance with you. Isn't this a drag on you? "
He smiled slyly: "This is the embodiment of Sino-Japanese friendship!"
Zhang Hanqing’s prickly and “genuine” rejection really left Nagata Tieshan with no excuses. The Japanese have had too many dealings with the Zhangs and their sons. Faced with such a powerful overlord who doesn't look down on them, there really is no other way to use except the use of force - but are people really afraid of using force? At least they didn't come here to declare the use of force.
During eight years of exchanges, the Japanese government has found out Zhang Hanqing's true identity clearly: he is a staunch Chinese nationalist, has unique economic insights, and is good at managing complex and changeable politics. The situation has united a large number of brave and capable senior officers in their many years of military career.
This is a difficult opponent with an extremely repulsive attitude towards Japan, and he is one of the few people in China who despises Japan's strength. The "protracted war" theory he proposed was feared by Japan's military and political leaders, who believed that it touched Japan's sore spot. This was one of the important reasons why Japan did not dare to expand it in previous conflicts and had to find a compromise.
Seeing that it was going to be an unhappy separation again, King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace couldn't help but get angry. He is a typical soldier, so he does not speak in the euphemisms commonly used by diplomats. But precisely because of his royal status, his words carry great weight:
"General Zhang, with all due respect, a group of rabble cannot defeat well-trained warriors! If the outcome was determined by population, you would not have so many famous battles in ancient China where a small number defeated a large number. China You won’t sign so many treaties with foreign countries! The officers of the Japanese Empire have experienced the baptism of blood and fire before they became real soldiers. You became a general at such a young age. Your Chinese generals must be very good. Is it easy to be a kid?"
These words made everyone in the venue change their minds, and even Japan’s heart sank. The Japanese are a bit arrogant in China, but they won't be so shameless in front of a distinguished person like Lao Xiao Zhang. After all, they are still people of status. If they really fall out, what can you do to them? However, King Asaka Palace Kohihiko is a member of the royal family, and the words have been spoken and cannot be undone.
On the Chinese side, no matter how young he is, Zhang Hanqing serves as Chairman of the People's Party, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People's Party, and Commander-in-Chief of the People's Army.
The Lord was worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and his direct subordinates Jiang Baili and Guo Songling were indignant; as loyal supporters of the successor of the Fengxi, Sun Liechen, the veteran commander of the Fengxi, and Wang Yongjiang, an important political think tank and official, also looked bad.
Of course, Zhang Zuolin’s face was even worse. No matter how ferocious the Japanese were, they couldn’t be so arrogant as to slap him in the face like this!
In an instant, Zhang Hanqing almost got angry and hit someone, but the long-term cultivation of Qi allowed him to endure it. It's not that I don't dare, it's extremely disrespectful to take action because of disagreement. This is extremely rude in diplomacy and it is very likely to cause a major incident, especially when the opponent is an important royal family.
“But he must say this tone, otherwise the Japanese who got the advantage will take advantage of it, and they don’t know what bad things they will say.
As for the impact, the current relationship between China and Japan is like fighting a wolf - both sides are afraid, and it is okay to have conflicts, but it will not be good for anyone if it gets bigger, so Zhang Hanqing is not afraid.
It is disrespectful to come back and not reciprocate. It is not Zhang Hanqing's style to swallow this. He had already suppressed his smile and said word by word: "We have a saying in China, which is called 'grandfather in a rocking car, grandson on crutches.' What's wrong with being young? As far as I know, your emperor is very young. It seems that in It must be easy to be the emperor in your country?"
Since you don’t show any respect, I don’t know what politeness is. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?It's like a man fighting a wolf - both sides are afraid. It's okay to cause conflicts, but it won't be good for anyone if it gets serious, so Zhang Hanqing is not afraid.

"Presumptuous!"
How could King Jiuyan of Asaka Palace allow Zhang Hanqing to insult the Emperor in person? To this monarch who is as lofty as a god, any disrespectful words are an insult to the entire empire, even if he speaks rudely first, he roars angrily with some ecstasy.
But what he met was Zhang Hanqing, a man who despised the Japanese from the bottom of his heart. If we were to rank countries in the world in terms of hate, this country would undoubtedly rank first. Although he had no favorable impressions of Mao Zi, who had taken away large swaths of China's territory, or of other powers who unscrupulously harvested the wealth and dignity of the Chinese people, none of them could match his hatred of the Japanese.
"As a small country, it becomes rampant once it succeeds. Does it still think it is China in official history?" Under Zhang Hanqing's skillful hands, the Republic of China today has become several times more powerful than ever before, and with it comes her calmness in foreign policy. Perhaps the Japanese have a special respect for their emperor, but they must respect him all the same, for no other reason, because he is also the leader of the Republic of China and a symbol of China!
"It's you who should be said to be presumptuous! His Excellency King Jiuyan of Asaka Palace, what you just said is extremely unfriendly and irresponsible! On behalf of the government of the Republic of China, I now officially tell you: We do not welcome you!"
Maybe you still come to China with the same intentions as before to show off your power. You don't take China's sovereignty and dignity into consideration at all. You threaten or use weapons at every turn, making Chinese people and officials listen and listen. You even dare to insult the head of a country in person. And you want to dictate a country’s internal affairs—let me tell you, that was the fucking past!
We can spend eight years from living in one province to leading the country, from a team of more than 10,000 people to a million troops. It uses facts to prove that we have won the hearts of Chinese people and can definitely lead China to reproduce glory. A strong China will not threaten others, but if others still want to threaten us, then they will show off their bayonets again. At worst, I will spend all my money and go back to the Northeast to fight guerrillas! But I'm not in a good mood, and no one else can escape unscathed. No matter what, I have to beat it to pieces and beat it into a bare buttocks, just to see if it dares to come out to see people again! "
These words were so refreshing that even Zhang Zuolin and the others felt that this was the right thing to do, as if the shame of more than ten years had been relieved by these words. As for the Japanese, they never expected that Zhang Hanqing would say such vulgar and direct words to them. For a moment, no one answered, and even King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace was stunned for a long time.
He was so angry that he didn’t know how it would end in the end. Anyway, the two parties ended up on bad terms. This confrontation spread to the people of both sides through various news, causing one wave after another.
The Chinese people, especially the middle and upper classes, including intellectuals, were very relieved because Zhang Hanqing spoke out the voice of the Chinese people, which was very popular; while in Japan, it caused an uproar. The Japanese government was convinced of the anti-Japanese tendencies of the Zhang Zuolin government. A series of old and new grudges made them become politically and diplomatically hostile to the Chinese government.
Naturally, they strategically deleted Zhang Hanqing’s insulting remarks about the royal family. Otherwise, how could they explain themselves to the public if they were not ready for war?
??The Zhang Zuolin government, which was still somewhat secretive in preventing Japanese cultural invasion, began to take big actions after Zhang Hanqing broke out. As an important part of a strong country and nation, the systematic return of culture and education to the state has been formally included in the charter.
It is a fact that higher education in old China fell into the hands of foreigners. Except for Peking University, Jiaotong University and Nankai University, which were established by the late Qing government, control of almost every university is basically in the hands of foreigners.
Of course, their approach is much more subtle: not directly intervened by their government, like the clumsy method of the Japanese government, but through the hands of the church, using this relatively accepted but very effective method. .
The most famous are 13 Christian universities: Yenching University (mainly China Law School, Department of Finance and Economics, Department of History, Minzu University of China, School of Engineering, Tsinghua University, Peking University Arts and Sciences), Qilu University (Shandong University, Shandong Normal University), Soochow University, St. John's University (known as the Harvard of the East, East China Normal University, Fudan, Tongji, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, East China Political Science and Law, Second Medical College, School of Finance and Economics), Zhijiang University (Zhejiang University, Zhejiang Normal University), West China Union Medical College Universities (West China Medical Center of Sichuan University), Huazhong University (Central China Normal University), Jinling University (Nanda), Fujian Union University, South China Women's College of Arts and Sciences (Fujian Normal University), Jinling Women's University, Hujiang University, Lingnan University (Sun Yat-sen University ), mainly funded by the church, they form the basis of modern education in China.
Of course, there is also Tsinghua University. Although it was founded by a Chinese (Zhou Ziqi), it was later developed by Americans with the Boxer Indemnity. It can be regarded as an alternative, but it does not deviate from the common ancestor.
When you take other people’s money, naturally the form, content, and ideas of running a school must be influenced by others. Otherwise, are they really seeking international friendship? In this way, China not only lost its sovereignty and independence, but was also culturally eroded by the other party. This kind of aggression did not directly hit people's hearts like the Eight-Power Allied Forces burning the Old Summer Palace, but it was more harmful.
The lost garden can be rebuilt if you have money, but the greater the talent of a brainwashed person, the greater the harm to the country.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Although Zhang Zuolin was born in a reckless way, he saw things very clearly, and his vision was no worse than that of Zhang Hanqing. Although Northeastern University was founded at the instigation of Zhang Hanqing, the efforts of Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuoxiang, Wang Yongjiang and others were real. According to the official history, it was founded by their brothers and has nothing to do with the real Zhang Xueliang. big.
Of course, the time-traveling Zhang Hanqing has done a lot in education. Five universities including Northeastern University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Northwest University, and Lanzhou University have all received his full support. The first two are entirely his own. The last three institutes were established under his suggestion, and the source of funds and teaching staff all depended on his connections.
With the expansion of his territory, his ambition is also slowly growing. It will not be like later generations of China, which treated universities as an "industry" and expanded enrollment, causing college students to walk all over the streets. However, like the United States, poor countries and societies have to build some famous institutions of higher learning, which is the cornerstone of a strong country. Its "Ivy League" "Most favored by him.
To form healthy competition, it is too easy to rely solely on Peking University and Tsinghua University to form a monopoly on educational resources. It is undeniable that the two schools have their own unique basic conditions, but the later centralized resource support from the state was also one of the reasons for the emergence of twin peaks.
Beijing is already the political and cultural center, and later became the economic center of the north. It is unacceptable for the two universities to be unattractive. But is this the right thing to do?
Anyway, Zhang Hanqing is determined to divert the flow. Northeast, North China and Northwest China can completely form a situation where several companies can coexist. In his "911 Project Minutes", he clearly proposed several methods to revitalize education.
Gathering the power of the country to establish 9 first-class universities, this is the prototype of the "China Ivy League". The first batch of finalists are Northeastern University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Northern Jiaotong University, Nankai University, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Northwest University University, Lanzhou University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, etc.
Later, Tianjin University, Jilin University, and Shandong University were added to the 12 "Northern Ivy" schools. Twenty years later, Seoul University was added to the 13th school.
The prestigious Jinling University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Zhejiang University, Wuhan University, as well as the later established Sichuan United University, Southwest Jiaotong University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Lingnan University, etc., form the 9 "Southern Ivy" schools. Later, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Nanyang Technological University were added, making it 11.
The South and the North competed and cooperated as a team. They were favored by countless students because of their high-quality education and continuous international academic achievements. They later became first-class institutions in China and even the world, collectively known as the "24 Chinese Ivy League". More to come.
Establish a first-class professional university in each of 10 categories of different natures, such as medicine, oceanography, finance, agriculture, politics and law, geology, textiles, mining, science and technology, and national universities, to centrally reserve and cultivate such specialized talents for the country, and Keep up with the pace of advanced countries.
Each province will build a normal university as the cornerstone of talent cultivation in basic disciplines. Its training methods and goals are similar to Northeast Normal University. Tuition and living expenses are subsidized by the state, creating a precedent for Chinese-style normal education.
In this way, the construction of "9" first-class universities, "1" professional universities, and "1" normal university in each province has become the main body of the "911 Project".
In addition, in order to effectively transform these universities originally controlled by the church to serve the country, Zhang Hanqing also launched a vigorous "reclaiming education rights" campaign. It stipulates that public universities must be managed by the Ministry of Education, while private universities (including other types controlled by churches) must be labeled "private", the president must be Chinese, and foreigners must not account for more than one-third of the directors.
As for primary and secondary schools, Zhang Hanqing strongly advocated the separation of arts and sciences based on the detours and setbacks discovered by later generations.
Regarding the division of arts and sciences, there are indeed many repetitions in history. The late Qing Dynasty explained in the "Analysis of the Dividing the Curriculum of the Adaptable Middle School into Liberal Arts and Practical Subjects": "The purpose of the middle school, as the age has grown and the interests have been divided, is either to make it broad-minded about the past and present for the purpose of governing the country and the people, or to make it more refined. Art is used to benefit students, so liberal arts and practical subjects are separated."
In 1912, the Republic of China abolished the liberal arts and sciences in middle schools and implemented general education. Educator Cai Yuanpei opposes subject division in middle schools but agrees with subject division in universities. He believes that division of subjects will lead to a lack of general knowledge, thus violating the purpose of middle schools, and can easily lead to a situation where "careless choices can lead to lifelong consequences."
Zhang Hanqing did not enter his favorite historical field because of "careless choice", so this is particularly resonant. Moreover, the division of arts and sciences resulted in various unfair admissions and incomplete knowledge systems of students, which has been criticized by later generations. Although there is no universal method, in this era when talent cultivation is still determined by a paper, if you can help future students, please help.
In addition, due to the improvement of the national economy, starting from 1922, the secondary school education system was changed from 4 years to 6 years.
"We don't ask about weapons but about education. This reflects the country's confidence and is full of confidence." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?A situation in which "careless choices lead to lifelong consequences."

After a few years, Zhang Hanqing once again used his talent to conquer the four.
Lin Huiyin may have understood something, but he didn't say anything; Jin Yuelin and Xu Zhimo felt the same and felt the same; Hu Shi had fallen into nostalgia for Cao Chengying and couldn't extricate himself; Huang Kan seemed to hear something deep in his heart. Calling, he stopped talking; Liang Qingzhu kept chanting, and her respect for Zhang Hanqing increased even more.
Several chatty people who were usually talkative were surprisingly unanimous in muting their voices, so that Liang Sicheng, as the host, had to step in to tease the situation in order to avoid being left in the cold. He had to admire Zhang Hanqing's literary talent - there were not so many gunmen who had been helping him write poems and lyrics, and they met the occasion every time. However, anyone with a little bit of intelligence knows that this poem was written out of emotion, and its target is probably his fiancée.
Although the words are good words, the men involved will not see how good they are. At first, Xu Zhimo, as his love rival, was not too stressed because he knew that Lin Huiyin was a pragmatic person and would not have much interaction with the romantic Xu Zhimo; Jin Yuelin later became a special one among Lin Huiyin's many suitors. One, but he is reserved and not the type that Lin Huiyin particularly likes.
“This Zhang Hanqing, on the other hand, has such outstanding literary talent that people can look up to him, and his high status also requires worship. He is also known as extremely handsome in the female circle, which shows his attraction to women. Fortunately, Lin Huiyin is the kind of person who doesn't allow himself to regret once he makes a decision, but he is definitely jealous.
“I am afraid that I will never be able to compare with Xu and Zhang in terms of literary attainments in my lifetime, so let’s make a good career in the field of architecture that I am proud of. Is it because of this competitive mentality that Liang Sicheng was stimulated, and through hard work like a rebirth, he later became the leading ancient architect in the Republic of China?
Maybe it was because he saw that even such an excellent lyricist and status as Zhang Hanqing could not seduce Lin Huiyin, Xu Zhimo gave up his pursuit at this moment and fell in love with Lu Xiaoman. "Ethereal and lingering love", is it talking about the two of them?
And Hu Shi also silently recited this song "Picking Mulberries" in his heart, recalling the scenes with Cao Chengying in the past, and his heart was surging. That night, he couldn't sleep at night. He slept until midnight, put on his clothes and got up and wrote on the paper, "The mountain wind messed up the pine marks on the window paper, but it couldn't blow away the figure in my heart."
After writing it, I still felt dissatisfied, so I finally rewrote the song "Picking Mulberries" in one breath, and then I felt a little less depressed and fell asleep peacefully.
"Compared with the silence of Hu House, Miss Liang Jiu's cabin in Shichahai is extremely charming. Zhang Hanqing, who had already thought about it, had no sympathy for the good girl beside him. That night, he took the opportunity to see her off and entered her private residence. He drank the hot tea she offered without any suspicion. He stared at her panicked eyes kindly.
No servants were used - Liang Qingzhu did everything herself.
Liang Qingzhu held the tea cup with both hands uneasily. Although she knew her family's thoughts and willingly accepted the ending, before the moment of success came, the girl's reserve made her a little incoherent, especially when Zhang Hanqing stared at her playfully. At this time, she needed to speak to break the silence of the room.
"The lyrics you wrote today are very good - I have read every one of your poems. Except for "Poppy Lady" which was written for your wife, I have never seen you work so hard for another woman. The song "Shayang Nala" was also written for Miss Lin, right?" She stopped Zhang Hanqing's surprise and said, "You are very interested in Miss Lin."
“I have concealed myself very well, but she still saw it. Do women really have a sixth sense innately? terrible! He could only wave his hands with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, I have a fiancé, and we will get married next year."
This made Liang Qingzhu more convinced of her judgment. She was just curious, why didn't the young marshal who was so strong at the time not fight for love like he did with Ye Gongchuo? After all, with his strength, he could almost do whatever he wanted, and Lin Huiyin didn't seem to have any ill feelings towards him.
After hearing Miss Ninth's doubts, Zhang Hanqing couldn't laugh or cry: "Do you think I am Wang Laohu? Are you still trying to steal a bride? The Lin family is a high-ranking official in the government, and Miss Lin is by no means as beautiful as a fish or a swallow." How shameful are you to use such despicable methods? I only admire Lin Huiyin and have no intention of harming her. To force the beauty of others and destroy beautiful things for others to see is a tragedy."
Liang Qingzhu nodded and said, "Well, I understand. It turns out that you only use force on women who are in love with you and are shy of their beauty."
When Zhang Hanqing heard her joke unexpectedly, it was as bright as a blooming flower. He is not Brother Chu. Miss Liang Jiu follows him to various occasions without caring.Her whole body trembled as she accepted Zhang Hanqing's caress. She frowned slightly and bit her red lips as Zhang Hanqing entered her. Liang Qingzhu completed her transformation from a girl to a woman in a state of confusion. Smelling the fragrance coming from the hairline in his ears, listening to the soft words that were incomprehensible but exciting, Zhang Hanqing had endless strength in his body, and Liang Qingzhu used her obedience to let him use it happily. The majesty of a man.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night——
This chapter is 2 million words, which is a milestone for Jiangshan Buluo. Thanks to my friends for accompanying me all the way and making this book possible. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 702 Sweeping the Southwest
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
He is waiting for a good result, but his subordinates are not fools.
In order to gain trust in the future reorganization of forces, powerful factions headed by Mengzi garrison envoy Hu Ruoyu, Kunming garrison envoy Long Yun, Zhaotong garrison envoy Zhang Ruji, and Dali garrison envoy Li Xuanting sent telegrams to the Beijing government to express their desire for peace talks. , stated his opinions to Tang Jiyao, and proposed suggestions to reorganize the provincial government, move closer to the central government, and return power to the people.
This is essentially a disguised move to move closer to the central government and take away his power.
Zhang Hanqing is from Hanyang, but he knows the situation in the southwest very well. He expressed appreciation for the willingness of the four giants of the Yunnan Army to submit, and secretly sent people to contact Long Yun, saying that as long as Long Yun made his position clear, submitted to the central government, and drove Tang Jiyao out of power, he would retain his military position in the form of a general order. In addition, he can also serve as the governor of Yunnan and require the People's Army not to set foot in Yunnan.
This is actually the best result that Long Yun can get: with military power in hand, it is not difficult to expel Tang Jiyao. What is difficult is how to deal with the aftermath after the war? Yan Xishan has been entrenched in Shanxi for many years. Wasn't he finally cut to pieces by the "Central Army"? Zhang Hanqing's assurance gave him reassurance: With the central government's order being upright, he would not go back on his words, right?
Tang Jiyao also felt that the military morale of his subordinates was unstable. In order to prevent the loss of the tail, he ordered the abolition of the military-level organization. His main purpose was to target Long Yun, who was also the commander of the 5th Yunnan Army.
Long Yun felt the pressure and forced him to make a decision. So he deliberately deducted military pay and encouraged his subordinates to vent their dissatisfaction on the Tang governor. The Yunnan Army was only paid for half a month, and its morale was shaken. So on August 25, Long Yun and Hu Ruoyu mobilized troops into Kunming, and telegraphed Zhang Ruji and Li Xuanting to act together.
On August 26, Mengzi garrison envoy Hu Ruoyu, Kunming garrison envoy Long Yun, Zhaotong garrison envoy Zhang Ruji, and Dali garrison envoy Li Xuanting formed an alliance to launch the "August 26 Coup" and sent troops to Kunming to launch military remonstrances. Hu Ruoyu led the telegram and said: "Punish corruption, eliminate officials and junior officials", "Oppose Tang Jiyao's dictatorship, promote reforms, and open up public opinion."
Because Meng Kun and Long Yun cooperated with each other, Tang Jiyao's counterattack plan failed. On September 11th, the four garrison envoys held a meeting at Faming Temple in Yiliang County. On September 12th, Tang Jiyao had no choice but to accept the organizational outline of the Yunnan Provincial Government proposed by Hu Ruoyu, Long Yun and others, and handed over the power of Yunnan.
On September 15, Long Yun was elected as the Yunnan Provincial Council Member and the principal of the Yunnan Army Lecture School. Zhang Zuolin also followed the original steps and explicitly ordered him to also take charge of the affairs of Yunnan Province and start working on the 18th, while Tang Jiyao became the "president" in name only.
Long Yun gained power, but Hu Ruoyu, another veteran in central Yunnan, was dissatisfied. It was Hu Ruoyu who worked hard to make Tang Jiyao become the king of Yunnan, and his qualifications were far more senior than Long Yun. Later, because Tang cultivated cronies and rejected dissidents, he endangered the four garrison envoys Hu, Long, Zhang and Li. Then he reached an anti-Tang agreement with the three garrison envoys, and jointly launched the "August 26" coup that overthrew the Tang Dynasty.
Hu Ruoyu played a great role in expelling the Tang Dynasty, but a telegram from the central government made all his efforts come to nothing, a bit like making a wedding dress for others. The conflicts between Long Yun and Hu Ruoyu are increasing day by day as they compete for the power to rule Yunnan - this is what Zhang Hanqing expected.
Long Yun's power is very great, and it is not something Hu Ruoyu can face up to. On September 17, Long Yun, who declared his loyalty to the central government, sent troops to seal down the Yunnan Provincial Party Headquarters and the Provincial Farmers Association of the Kuomintang, thus officially eliminating the Kuomintang's power in the southwest. Tang Jiyao, who was abandoned by his subordinates, fell ill and died.
Long Yun, Hu Ruoyu, Zhang Ruji and others had no retreat, and they all called to express their support for the central government. Zhang Hanqing lived up to his words and asked the central government to appoint Long Yun as chairman of Yunnan Province. He also said that out of sympathy for the poor in the border areas, the People's Army would not take over Yunnan for the time being. Since then, the military and political power of Yunnan has been vested in Long Yun, and he became the "King of Yunnan" four years earlier than in official history.
But Long Yun was only proud for two days. In the early morning of September 24, the commander of the 39th Army, Hu Ruoyu and Zhang Ruji, suddenly sent troops to attack Long Yun's house. Long Yun's left eye was injured due to long-term use of the firearm, and Long Yun was captured by Hu Ruoyu, Zhang Ruji and others. Generals Lu Han and Zhu Xu, Gao Yinhuai, Zhou Wenren, Meng Kun and others fled Kunming and gathered forces in Chuxiong and other places.
Zhang Hanqing was secretly happy about the chaos that occurred in central Yunnan, but he still refuted Hu Ruoyu's behavior on behalf of the Central Committee: "Secretly detaining national military and political officials, causing chaos in the local area, causing anger and resentment. It is appropriate to rein in the situation and return Chairman Long, so that we can reduce the past mistakes. It is beneficial to the peace of the Yunnan people."
In order to express solidarity, Long Yun was explicitly appointed as the commander of the 38th | Army of the Yunnan Army (non-National Defense Force sequence), with jurisdiction over the 97th Division (Division Commander Hu Ying), the 98th Division (Division Commander Lu Han), and the 99th Division (Division Commander Zhu Xu). ), the 100th Division (Commander Meng Kun), so although Long Yun was imprisoned, his strength was not compromised. Hu Ruoyu and Zhang Ruji did not dare to harm him, and Long Yun's wife Li Peilian also ran in various ways to rescue him.
?At this time, the People's Army, with the joint efforts of the Shang Zhen and Song Zheyuan armies of the Wuhan Military Region and the Qiao Fang and Yu Zhaolin armies of the Guangzhou Military Region, had captured Zunyi, an important town in northern Guizhou. The People's Army forward had arrived on the north side of the Wujiang River and was separated from the main force of the Qian Army. Jiang Xiangzhi. However, the People's Army did not seem to be in a hurry to go south. Instead, it pushed into western Guizhou and recovered large areas of land in the west.
The other branch headed north towards Chongqing, intending to attack from both sides with Sun Liangcheng and Chang Jing's military department. After the Kunming coup, the People's Army also accelerated its offensive efforts. After occupying Zunyi, Shang Zhen's army continued to advance westward and reached Zhaotong on the border of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, where it joined forces with Hu Ying and other Yunnan troops.
On September 26, Yunnan officially changed its flag. Long Yun's main general Lu Han and others asked Hu Ying, a veteran of the Yunnan Army, to act as commander of the 38th Army and command the troops to counterattack Kunming and defeat Hu Ruoyu. On the 29th, Hu Ruoyu took Long Yun hostage and evacuated Kunming.
Although the Yunnan Army temporarily supported Hu Ying as its agent, Long Yun was imprisoned. In fact, the entire Yunnan Army was leaderless. Zhang Hanqing took the opportunity to order the People's Army to march from Zhaotong to Kunming, regaining Liupanshui, Qujing and other places along the way, opening the door to Guiyang in the west and Kunming in the south.
Although Liu Xiang's troops defeated Yang Sen, they were defeated one after another under the attacks of the People's Army. First, he suffered a huge defeat in Mianyang, and then fought with Sun Liangcheng again in Deyang. With victory or defeat uncertain, Nanchong fell again, exposing his home base of Chongqing directly to the threat of the People's Army. As a last resort, the main force retreated to Chengdu.
However, Yang Sen regrouped and fought back from Leshan. Cheng, which was attacked from both sides, was no longer in danger.
After Liu Xiang and the Guizhou Army Yuan Zuming defeated Yang Sen, they held a aftermath meeting in Ziliujing in mid-August. However, at the meeting, the relationship between Liu Xiang and Yuan Zuming deteriorated rapidly due to the uneven distribution of the spoils. Because the People's Army had crossed Guangxi and entered Guizhou, Yuan Zuming decided to lead all the Guizhou troops to leave Sichuan and return to Guizhou in early September.
This time, Yuan Zuming helped Sichuan, but he did not get the benefits he expected. He was filled with hatred, so he decided to make a fortune when he left Sichuan.
At that time, Chongqing was jointly stationed by Liu Xiang and Yuan Zuming. Liu Xiang had divisions and brigades such as Pan Wenhua, Xianying, Li Yacai, and Lan Wenbin, while Yuan Zuming also had two divisions and one guard brigade. On September 10, Yuan Zuming returned to Chongqing and immediately ordered four more regiments of the Guizhou Army to enter the city and deploy heavy troops in important places such as Futuguan, Lianglukou, and Ciqikou. The war was imminent.
At this time, Liu Xiang was staying in Chengdu to deal with the unfinished business of the meeting.
People from all walks of life in Chongqing were deeply afraid of the recurrence of war, so they elected representatives separately to appeal for peace to the Sichuan and Guizhou armies. Yuan Zuming pretended to accept public opinion, invited Sichuan army generals to discuss, and reached an agreement. Except for a few military police and guards remaining in the city, all Sichuan and Guizhou army units were stationed outside the city on September 12.
But when Liu Xiang's troops were moving on the 11th, Yuan Zuming suddenly instigated a mutiny by He Jin'ao of Xianying's division to defect to Yuan. Xianying only led the remaining one battalion to break out and join Lan Wenbin.
On the 12th, Yuan Zuming sent troops to attack Liu Xiang's city guards, occupied the Chongqing garrison, confiscated the firearms of the Sichuan army guards, pursued Lan Wenbin and Xianying divisions who had retreated to Baishiyi and other places, and drove out all Liu Xiang's main troops. Chongqing.
This incident is known in history as the Jiangba Incident (also known as the Chongqing Incident).
After Liu Xiang’s main force was expelled from Chongqing by Yuan Zuming, Liu Xiang decided to expel Yuan Zuming from Sichuan. However, at that time, Liu Xiang's troops were separated in Upper and Lower East Sichuan and were unable to assemble. They were forced to seek cooperation from Yang Sen, who was defeated in the battle of unification and surrendered to the central government. Yang Sen also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a comeback, and the Sichuan army generals Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao and others also welcomed him back to Sichuan because they were at odds with Liu Xiang over the spoils.
So, Liu and Yang signed the "Bingyin Convention" in Chengdu. The convention stipulates that the military power originally owned by Yang Sen will be returned. After cooperating with Liu Xiang to regain Chongqing, the lower Sichuan East will be under his control.
On September 15, Yang Sen returned to Wanxian County in eastern Sichuan and summoned six of his old subordinates to return, and soon gained more than 80,000 people. On September 18, the Sichuan army was divided into two groups: Upper Sichuan East and Lower Sichuan East. They were commanded by Liu Xiang and Yang Sen respectively to attack Chongqing. Liu Wenhui also launched an attack in southern Sichuan. On September 23, Liu and Yang's coalition troops arrived in Chongqing. At this time, Yuan Zuming had withdrawn and fought with the People's Army in Zunyi.
The three factions of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou are fighting endlessly. This is also the strategy to regain the southwest: support Yang Sen to disrupt Sichuan, attack the less powerful Guizhou army, recruit the Guangxi faction, and protect the Yunnan faction. Now that Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou have generally achieved their wishes, it depends on how the Guangxi clique will act.
The Sichuan and Guizhou cliques went from being united to being separated, and the Yunnan clique was fighting among themselves, which shocked the officials of the Guangxi clique who were watching the situation. Originally, the three giants of the Guangxi faction, Li Bai, and Huang, were still thinking of asking for high prices when the People's Army's offensive slowed down. However, seeing that these three factions have fallen into the whirlpool of civil war and cannot extricate themselves, resisting the central government is now a joke.
Yang Sen and Liu Xiang were separated and reunited. After several internal fights, both sides lost a lot of strength. It just gave the People's Army an opportunity to take advantage of it. Sun Liangcheng led his troops into Chengdu first, Chang Jingwu occupied Guang'an, and northern Sichuan was already under the control of the People's Army.
Facing the People’s Army’s imminent entry into Chongqing, Liu Xiang had nothing to do. Upper, lower and northern Sichuan and eastern Sichuan were all lost, and Chongqing was surrounded by the People's Army on three sides. After Chengdu was captured by the People's Army, the only feasible strategy was to flee to western Sichuan, join forces with his uncle Liu Wenhui, and retreat to Xikang.
But it’s still unclear how long Xikang can survive in the barren land. However, in this way, Liu Xiang will become another peaceful warlord in the Republic of China and will be an enemy of the central government.
Although he fully hopes to regain his former glory, the situation is stronger than others and does not allow him to think too much.

Chapter 703 Unification
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
However, the People's Army was unyielding. In the early morning of the 28th, the forward battalion of the 1st Marine Brigade of the People's Army approached the Dadukou in the south of Chongqing. The defenders never understood the command and simply threw away their guns and moved out of the way. Passed by the People's Army.
By the time Liu Xiang learned the news, a transport ship full of troops had already arrived at the gates of Chongqing, a division of the fully armed 21st Army of the People's Army, waiting for its final decision.
This is good, at least the development of the situation has changed Liu Xiang's mentality from "should I resist" to "how to cooperate with the People's Army to deal with the aftermath". In this way, the People's Army's control of central Sichuan will be smoother. And in order to show sincerity, Liu Xiang took the initiative to send a message, expressing his willingness to submit to the central government, hand over all the troops to the People's Army for reorganization, and feel at ease as a citizen.
For Liu Xiang, Zhang Hanqing still respected him very much, even though he was his opponent at this time. You must know that this person was famous in official history because of the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, Liu Xiang fell ill and led tens of thousands of Sichuan Army soldiers to walk thousands of miles out of Sichuan to fight against the Japanese. He was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Seventh Theater and the Commander-in-Chief of the 23rd Group Army. This is depicted in "The Strong Man Leaving Sichuan" Their tragic deeds.
Liu Xiang died in Hankou due to stomach problems and left a will: "We will fight to the end and remain unswerving, that is, the enemy troops will not withdraw from the country for a day, and the Sichuan army will not return home for a day." Later, the Nationalist Government posthumously awarded him the title of first-class general of the army, which was regarded as a successful ending to his life with magnificent vigor.
Zhang Hanqing actually respects such a soldier who understands the justice of the nation very much. In his opinion, even warlords are far more worthy of attention and respect than the so-called "Harbin" and "Khan-Korean" people in modern times: people like Zhang Zuolin, Wu Peifu, Cao Kun, etc., some of them may have done a lot of It may be bad or even harmful, but when it comes to national justice, it is absolutely unambiguous.
So when I learned that Chongqing had returned peacefully, I was overjoyed. This not only made a good start, but also opened up a hole in the direction of the deployment of troops in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guangxi, and made all parties more wait-and-see.
"Victory without fighting is the best victory - the Chinese nation has been in many disasters, and no matter how much blood our compatriots shed, it will never be considered a great military achievement."
Examples must be set up. Therefore, Zhang Hanqing praised Liu Xiang in a telegram for "knowing the general situation, loving the country, and not caring about personal gains and losses." He also said that "Liu Xiang's unit will be reorganized into the People's Army Armed Police Corps in Sichuan, with Liu Xiang as commander, and will be under the jurisdiction of the soon-to-be-established Chengdu Military Region." Seeing that the most powerful Liu Xiang had surrendered, other princes put down their weapons and followed suit.
So central Sichuan was peaceful, and only Liu Wenhui was entrenched in southern Sichuan, swaying left and right, and gradually transferred his main force to western Sichuan. It seemed that if the situation was not good, he would go west to Kangding and other places to establish himself as the king.
Now that the serious illness of his confidants is over, minor illnesses such as scabies like Liu Wenhui are no longer a problem. On October 2, Zhang Hanqing arrived in Chongqing from Hankou on a warship and began to make arrangements for the war in Yunnan and Guizhou. Sichuan generals Liu Xiang and Yang Sen were frightened and greeted them with great fanfare to show their solemnity.
Zhang Hanqing showed his demeanor as a young commander and showed great honor to the Sichuan Army's surrendered generals. He praised Liu and Yang as the heroes of Pingchuan, and appointed Yang Sen as the commander of the newly established 35th Army of the People's Army. He went out of Sichuan with Shang Zhen to forcefully cross the Wujiang River. Guizhou was pacified.
Thousands of sails raced by, hundreds of boats competed with each other. The main force of the 18th, 21st, 9th, and 11th armies of the People's Army, totaling nearly 100,000 men, crossed the Wujiang River, Sancha River, Yachi River and other places with overwhelming force. It only took 3 days to defeat the Yunnan Army in the north, west and east respectively. Three lines of defense. Yuan Zuming's defeated troops collapsed like an ant nest and were out of control. He had no choice but to electrify the field and surrender the entire territory of Guizhou.
Seeing that division would lead to two evils, Hu Ruoyu made peace with Long Yun in Dabanqiao, the eastern suburbs of Kunming on the 31st. They agreed to keep peace as the tone and still let Long Yun return to Kunming to preside over provincial affairs and prepare to release Long.
Zhang Hanqing is given this rare opportunity. How can he revive the tiger Long Yun? While he directly pointed out that Hu Ruoyu's troops were rebels, he sent troops to seize the important area of ??Panzhihua in southern Sichuan and wanted to raise troops for "encirclement and suppression" so that they would not dare to release Long Yun easily. At the same time, he entered Kunming with heavy troops to appease the people and squeeze the living space of Long Yun's army.
In Kunming, Zhang Hanqing took advantage of the Yunnan people's gratitude for Tang Jiyao's contribution to protecting the country and moved Tang Jiyao's banner out again to offset Long Yun's influence. He reported to the central government and issued an order to commend him. He cast a bronze statue of Tang Dynasty in the Grand View Tower in Kunming and held a state funeral. At the same time, he requested orders for the people to build the tomb of Tang Jiyao.
In view of Tang Jiyao's meritorious service in the war to protect the country, Zhang Hanqing personally wrote an elegiac couplet, "The merits must last forever, and the wind and clouds are always there to protect Chu Xu." This is the best commemoration of this hero of 1911 and a farewell to this period of history.
Because Long Yun is still in jail, his promise to the Chairman and Army Commander of Yunnan Province cannot be fulfilled. While "negotiating" with Hu Ruoyu, Zhang Hanqing dismantled, transferred, replaced and retreated the 38th Army of the Yunnan Army under the command of Hu Ying, and reorganized it into the 34th Army of the People's Army.
When Long Yun returned to Kunming on October 6 to take over as the so-called commander of the 38th Army and acting chairman of the Yunnan Provincial Government, all his subordinates were gone and replaced by all generals of the People's Army.
Long Yun was also a hero of his generation, capable of bending and stretching, so he resigned from the post of army commander on the grounds that he was not powerful enough to command the public. Zhang Hanqing's "persistent request" failed, so he had to re-appoint Fengjun veteran Jing Dewen as commander, but Long Yun was still appointed as chairman of Yunnan Province.
Long Yun’s old troops, under the command of Hu Ying, defeated Hu Ruoyu and Zhang Ruji. On the 15th, they drove Hu Ruoyu back to southern Sichuan and attached themselves to Liu Wenhui.
Liu Wenhui, also known as Ziqian and Bingyu, is the younger brother of the big landowner Liu Wencai and graduated from the Baoding Military Academy. In the early years of the Republic of China, the warlords gradually grew in power. Later, together with their nephew Liu Xiang, they became the two most powerful warlords in Sichuan. Liu Wenhui occupied the western Sichuan centered on Chengdu, and Liu Xiang occupied the eastern Sichuan centered on Chongqing.
There is not much time left for China. There is not much time left to save the Chinese nation from a catastrophe. There is not much time left for Zhang Hanqing. We can no longer waste the country’s vitality on the Chinese civil war! On the eve of National Day, Zhang Hanqing held a massive military parade in Kunming, and later sent a "Double Ten" message to Liu Wenhui and Guangxi officials, calling for peaceful reunification and the construction of a new China.
After Zhang Hanqing issued a call for reunification, the Kuomintang Central Committee headed by Sun Yat-sen also issued an appeal, requiring Guangxi to seek peace with the central government on the basis of unifying military and political orders and achieve national unification in mainland China.
Li Zongren, who was deeply influenced by Sun Yat-sen, decided to stop the war and change the flag - they still used the five-color flag of the old Republic of China. Now nearly 30 provinces in northern China use the five-star red flag.
He sent Huang Shaohong to meet Zhang Hanqing to discuss personnel arrangements after the annexation of Guangxi. He also wanted to retain the three divisions of the Guangxi Army on the basis of nominal full support for the central government, and still retain his position as governor.
Huang Shaohong gives people an image of a strong man with rough edges and finesse. When he was defeated and running away in his early years, he led the troops with strict military discipline even if he was hungry. In this regard, he is very similar to new-style soldiers such as Li Zongren. At the same time, Huang Shaohong was also a very talented and strategic soldier and politician. He was deeply admired by Zhang Hanqing and had long wanted to win over him.
"But now is no longer the time for Zhang Hanqing to extend an olive branch two months ago. You ignored it at that time; it is impossible to bargain again when the general trend is over."
Zhang Hanqing said to Huang Shaohong: "Ji Kuan, go back and tell De Neighbor that I will not accept his negotiation mentality. Even if he proposed this plan, I would reject it politely! Government orders must be unified and military power must be centralized. This This is the bottom line that any central government can accept.
Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou have been separated for many years. I cannot tolerate the emergence of new local warlord forces. I also hope that the original leading figures will leave voluntarily, so that the central officials who take over can resume administrative governance as soon as possible and without any constraints. Give the people stability.
Of course, Jiansheng’s military logistics support capabilities and your military planning capabilities are both valued by the Central Military Commission. If you agree, you will serve as my military staff advisor, and Jiansheng will enter the National Defense Committee to do the defense preparation work that he is good at. As for De Neighbor, his expertise lies in administration rather than military affairs. I am afraid that he will leave the military and come to the Administrative Committee to help govern the country. You can express my attitude to them and try to strive for a peaceful solution to the Guangxi issue. "
After careful consideration, Li Zongren chose to accept. Bai Chongxi, on the other hand, expressed deep regret for Zhang Hanqing's "hasty" praise of his "logistical support capabilities" instead of his ability to march and fight: "I'm afraid his People's Army has never experienced the power of my army, right?"
Li Zongren smiled. He appreciated Bai Chongxi's military attainments, but his political intrigues, alas. You may be able to come back from the dead on the battlefield and occasionally defeat the strong with the weak, but a real military strategist must look at the general trend.
No matter how successful the tactics are, if the strategy fails, the result will be nothing to show off. No wonder Prime Minister Bai was said last week to be self-willed and ignorant of politics. How long has it been, and I still want to have this fight of will!
China’s strong public opinion force was the decisive force that ultimately led to the peaceful reunification of the Guangxi clique and the central government. Under heavy pressure, the Guangxi clique decided to peacefully transfer power. Liu Wenhui from southwestern Sichuan believed that he would lose alone and agreed to accept it. So the southwest was pacified.
Considering that the reality of the barren southwest is not suitable for retaining more troops, in addition to the already established 34th and 35th armies, Zhang Hanqing decided to form another 36th army. The soldiers were selected from two divisions from the Guangxi soldiers known as "fierce as tigers" and from the Yunnan army. After selecting a division, the commander will be promoted to Sun Liangcheng, deputy commander of the 7th Army and commander of the 21st Division, who performed outstandingly in this campaign.
Zhang Hanqing tried his best to eliminate the Guizhou soldiers known as the "double-gun generals", and selected other qualified soldiers to form armed police forces in various provinces.
In order to make full use of Chengdu's advantageous geography in controlling the southwest, Zhang Hanqing requested the Central Military Commission's approval to set up the Chengdu Military Region in Chengdu, with jurisdiction including Tibet, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan provinces. Because of the importance of its geographical location, Zhang Hanqing dispatched Wan Fulin, an old member of the Feng clan, to take charge of the area and oversee three armies.
The appointments of the Guangxi generals who were demoted were unexpected: Huang Shaohong served as the Chief of Operations of the General Staff; Bai Chongxi entered the National Defense Commission and served as the director of the later-established General Mobilization Bureau; Li Zongren was successfully promoted to a member of the State Administrative Committee and became an important member of the Central Committee.
With the pacification of the southwest, apart from the concessions, the Republic of China finally achieved unification on the mainland.

Seeing the People’s Party’s determination on this issue, the opposition turned to demand that the People’s Party’s arrangements for the administrative structure be agreed to on the premise of achieving complete judicial fairness, which Zhang Hanqing readily agreed to.
The administration reflects the leadership of the party, but it cannot be like later generations where corruption starts within the party. In order to effectively restrict illegal activities within the party, Zhang Hanqing worked with various political parties to promote the mature experience of the three northeastern provinces to achieve judicial independence in the true sense:
The Supreme Court has 15 justices, all of whom are nominated by the president of the country and submitted to Congress for a vote. They are administratively responsible for the daily affairs of the Supreme Court (the president). They cannot be removed except for major violations of the constitution or death and retirement;
The chief judges are elected by qualified judges from each province and submitted to the Congress for a vote. Provinces, cities and counties have established high courts, intermediate courts and lower courts respectively, with 11, 9 and 7 people respectively. The judicial election committee at the upper level nominates the candidates for the lower level and submits them to the parliament for a vote.
The judiciary is self-contained and the People's Party cannot interfere. Even the secretary of the People's Party can be summoned, interrogated and sentenced by the court at the same level according to law, because it is true that the secretary is a member of the People's Party, but he is first and foremost a citizen of the Republic of China.
In order to ensure judicial impartiality, all judges enjoy judicial immunity and cannot be removed from office for life, except as listed in the prescribed provisions. In this way, the political parties can openly and honestly detect the illegal activities of People's Party officials at all levels, and truly gain the ability to supervise the government.
This also gives the people a political channel to supervise and restrict unqualified party members and cadres from violating discipline. In fact, even after time travel, the Chinese people have very low requirements for the government: no big corruption, no big corruption, no corruption Pay attention to dereliction of duty and avoid breaking the law. As for errors in general administrative decision-making, they can still be tolerated and are far from the level of abhorrence.
Because the establishment of courts at all levels is a long and arduous task, whether the procuratorate should be established is left to be discussed in abeyance, so as to enrich the judicial team as much as possible so that the functions of the courts can be realized as soon as possible. In Zhang Hanqing's mind, it doesn't matter if this useless institution is not established. Real judicial corruption rarely comes out of the prosecutorial system, and it is a waste of resources.
However, with the People's Party's overall victory in the party, government, military, and legislative bodies, the courts, the only institution with a chance to restrain the country's lawless elements, have become the best magic weapon for non-party people from all walks of life to restrain the government. Ingenuity and wisdom were used in the study and application of law, which promoted the great development of China's legal system in a short period of time, and also made the bar exam one of the three most popular industries in China, along with accountants and doctors.
This is a symbol of national progress and Zhang Hanqing’s unintentional contribution to China’s rule of law.
Regarding the candidates for the new Congress, because the country has not paid much attention to this area for a long time, the people who are most likely to be elected as members in the early stage are those who have been active in the political arena of the Republic of China for a long time.
Of course, some will be added at the local level, but because the local parliamentary system is even worse, most of them are famous figures. It was impossible to identify their political leanings beforehand. The People's Party was busy occupying the administrative high ground and had no time to start over again to influence local public opinion.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Number of Votes from a few Old Bases is enough anyway, this is Zhang Hanqing's innermost thoughts. Needless to say, the dispensability of future generations has always been hidden deep in his heart, so that although he designed a seemingly advanced system of separation of powers, he himself did not fully agree with it.
Of course, it would take a few years for his mistake to suddenly swell and ferment, which also taught him a good lesson.
In any case, with the smooth operation of the new Congress and the establishment of the new interim constitution, the People's Party has also completed the stabilization of power at the national level.
The provisional constitution stipulates that the candidate for the national president is proposed by the People's Party, represents the country's sovereignty, enjoys judicial immunity and the power to issue amnesty, and has the power to nominate the Supreme Court justice to Congress when there is a vacancy.
Of course, the power to grant amnesty must first be passed by Congress.
The President of the State nominates the candidate for the Prime Minister of the State Council, who is the highest executor of national administration and is approved by the House of Representatives by vote. The prime minister will then propose a list of deputy prime ministers and cabinet ministers, all of which will be voted on by the National Assembly (House of Representatives).
Abolish the National Defense Commission and replace it with the Central Military Commission. In order to reflect the leadership of the People's Party and implement the party's intentions, the Party's Military Commission | Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Military Committee members are voted by the National Assembly after being elected and approved by the People's Party Central Committee. During this period, they will perform military management functions on behalf of the country.
Such a reserved foreshadowing is: no matter what political twists and turns there may be, the leadership of the People's Army will always be in the hands of the People's Party. The worst-case scenario is that the People's Party's list of Chairman of the Military Commission and others will not be confirmed by the country.??Passed, but you can still exercise command power before "passing", which is equivalent to a "guaranteed" situation. At this time, the role of Congress can only be additional recognition.
The People's Party Constitution also stipulates that all candidates for national | president, prime minister, military commission | chairman, and parliamentary chairman must be members of the party's Politburo | Standing Committee, with a term of five years and can be re-elected.
The reason why we decided to extend the term indefinitely is because now is not the time to truly exercise discretion. Rushing to set a term of office will only give political opponents hope of a comeback. Moreover, Zhang Zuolin is still going strong and has no intention of quitting the stage. Zhang Hanqing and others are still in their prime and want to show their talents in the future world structure.
And, at present, centralized administration is the prerequisite for China’s rejuvenation. Therefore, Zhang Hanqing set the term limit for the president of the country, the president of the parliament and the chairman of the party to be unlimited in order to maximize the concentration of power in his own hands. As for how to amend the constitution in the future, people in the future will definitely be smarter than now
The third and final Central Plenary Session of the second term of the People's Party revised the Party Constitution for this purpose, stipulating that from this time on, the People's Party will hold a National Party Congress every five years, and the elected Central Committee will be elected for a term of five years. And hold a plenary session every year. Subsequently, the People's Party held its first national congress and elected the third Central Committee.
It will become the norm to hold party elections in April, parliamentary elections in June, and government elections in August. In the future, every five or ten years will be a new era. To this end, Zhang Hanqing is preparing to change the previous three-year economic plan into a five-year plan.
In early February, the first election of party representatives was held within the People's Party, resulting in the first true Central Committee, Central Political Bureau and Standing Committee. Zhang Hanqing, with his huge prestige, deservedly continued to be the party chairman with 99% of the votes.
A lot has changed in two years, and a large number of new people have emerged. Although most of them cannot appear on the central stage, there are enough for them to enter leadership positions at the provincial, municipal, and county levels.
All members of the previous Politburo were retained. This time, Ji Jinchun and Yu Xuezhong were added, for a total of 24 people. Ji is a veteran, but Yu Xuezhong is a rising star among the rising stars. But everyone knew it, so the young commander strongly recommended it. Yang Jie was not qualified for this high position because his qualifications within the party were too low.
? 7 members of the Standing Committee were produced from it. In addition to the five members of the previous term, Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Hanqing, Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang, and Wu Junsheng, Wang Yongjiang was selected with an overwhelming majority of votes, so much so that the outside world speculated that he was a popular candidate for the next prime minister.
Because of Pan Fu's excellent financial management ability, the Feng Clan finally took over Beijing with strong economic strength. He was deeply respected within the old Feng Clique and was also an important financial assistant to Wang Yongjiang. His selection marked the beginning of the People's Party The recent direction of governance is to move towards economic construction.
The Standing Committee’s decision on the division of labor is: Zhang Zuolin serves as Chairman of the State and Chairman of the Military Commission, Zhang Hanqing serves as Executive Vice Chairman of the Military Commission and presides over the affairs of the Military Commission, Sun Liechen serves as Vice Chairman of the State and Second Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, and Wu Junsheng serves as Chairman of the National Assembly and Third Vice Chairman of the Military Commission. , Zhang Zuoxiang is the fourth vice-chairman of the Military Commission, Wang Yongjiang is the premier of the State Council, and Pan Fu is the executive deputy prime minister and director of the Planning Commission.
According to Wang Yongjiang’s nomination, Liu Shangqing is the deputy prime minister in charge of industry, Zhang Zhenjiu is the deputy prime minister in charge of finance, Yu Sixing is the vice prime minister in charge of education, science, culture and health, and Yuan Jinkai is the secretary-general of the State Council. At this time, Sun Yat-sen resigned as chairman of the Transportation Committee due to serious illness, causing the committee to be downgraded and restored to the Ministry of Transportation.
As expected, Jiang Baili became the Minister of Defense, taking over the responsibilities of the National Defense Commission, and all other ministers remained in their original positions.
The list of 15 members of the Military Commission remains unchanged, but each regional headquarters has been officially renamed a military region:
Zhang Zuolin (Chairman of the Military Commission and Commander-in-Chief of the People’s Army);
Zhang Hanqing (Executive Vice Chairman of the Military Commission and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the People’s Army);
Sun Liechen (Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, unable to save time due to illness, temporarily appointed Army Commander-in-Chief);
Zhang Zuoxiang (Vice Chairman of the Military Commission and Commander of the Headquarter Shenyang Military Region);
? Han Linchun (Chief of General Staff);
Jiang Dengxuan (Director of the General Political Department);
Jiang Baili (Minister of National Defense);
Wang Yizhe (Deputy Director of the General Political Department and Director of the Political Department of the Armed Police Force);
Guo Songling (Commander-in-Chief of the Navy);
Yang Yuting (Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force and Minister of General Equipment);
Ji Jinchun (Commander of the Garrison Military Region);
Ji Yiqiao (Commander of Wuhan Military Region);
Yu Xuezhong (Commander of Guangzhou Military Region);
Wan Fulin (Commander of Chengdu Military Region);
Mi Chunlin (Director of General Logistics).
The first-level commanders of the military regions who have not entered the Military Commission are: Yu Zhen (Commander of Jinan Military Region), Xing Shilian (renamed Commander of Lanzhou Military Region), Ma Longtan (about to take over as Commander of Nanjing Military Region), and Xu Lanzhou (Commander of the Armed Police Force).
The optimization of politics and military has made the Feng clan stronger in this round of reshuffle. It can be said that this round of combination is Zhang Hanqing's another success in effectively integrating this behemoth after the commercial trust successfully made the Feng Clan a group of stakeholders.
People with positive value to the group all occupy high positions, and people who have been loyal to Zhang and his son for a long time occupy core positions. This also makes the military and political system of the Feng Clan simple and effective, and can speak with the same voice at critical moments. This is what the Feng Clan is all about. So a source of ever-expanding, ever-growing growth.

Chapter 707 Political Last Words
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The People's Party under the leadership of Zhang and his son occupied all important positions of power in the central government. The People's Party occupies decisive seats in both the government and the military, as well as in the later-established Congress, which is the only one capable of restraining state power. A powerful state power has been formed.
At this sensitive moment, Sun Yat-sen, the only core figure of the Kuomintang who could compete with the Kuomintang, was hospitalized due to illness. Therefore, he was at a disadvantage in negotiations related to China's future political situation. This was the consensus of many Kuomintang members at the time. However, when later historical commentaries came to this point, they all believed that regardless of whether Mr. Sun Yat-sen was healthy or not, the trend of the People's Party leading China would not change.
Sun Yixian became ill on New Year's Day in 1925 and was admitted to Union Hospital for treatment. After January 20, he became seriously ill and could not eat or drink. Western medicine diagnosed him as terminal liver cancer. The entire liver was as hard as wood, and the cancer cells spread everywhere and could not be cut. rule.
Based on true historical fiction, it is time to prepare to deal with the issue of the survival of the Kuomintang in the Sun Yat-sen era. Zhang Hanqing is thinking, and so is Sun Yixian. This pioneer who has spent his whole life working hard to create a new China has been thinking about a serious topic: choosing a suitable successor.
This successor must convince the people within the party so that the Kuomintang can be united and not dispersed; this successor must see the situation clearly and unite the Kuomintang instead of confronting it, otherwise it is a recipe for death.
In previous confrontations, Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang failed to obtain satisfactory results in the struggle with the People's Party, so they knew how powerful Zhang Hanqing was. Zhang Hanqing's cooperative but non-delegating attitude and his increasingly centralized actions have made no one his opponent in the post-Sun Yat-sen era. Not only Sun Yat-sen is well aware of this, but other comrades in the party are also deeply touched.
When Sun Yat-sen's fame was still at its peak, Zhang Hanqing dared to really fire at this "Sun Dapao"; after defeating the common enemy Zhili, Zhang Hanqing devoured the army that the Kuomintang relied on to challenge the Central Committee; At that time, Zhang Hanqing dared to risk the ugly public opinion to sideline the Kuomintang cadres, including himself, the Kuomintang prime minister.
Is there anything else that he doesn’t dare to do? Sun Yixian believes that if the successor fails to respond well, Zhang Hanqing dares to declare the Kuomintang illegal! This was also a headache that he had been having before the deadline.
Among the three heroes in the party, Liao Zhongkai is more loyal than courageous; Hu Hanmin is an idealist, but essentially a scholar; Wang Jingwei is humble and smooth, good at conciliation, but has a weak character, indecision, and cannot grasp the original intention under various situations. It's okay to be a think tank, but it's quite difficult to be a coach.
Due to the sudden rise of the People's Party in this time and space, the influence of the Kuomintang is much weaker than in the history, and its power has also been weakened. Even he, the president of the Kuomintang, is not as prosperous as he imagined.
Therefore, his influence on several of his subordinates is relatively weak, so that there are many mountains under his subordinates. If it were not for his banner in front, they would be almost scattered. This is also one of his regrets. If there is still time, he will definitely take the Kuomintang to a new height, but he can no longer do it.
The condition is irreversible.
Knowing that the deadline was approaching, Sun Yixian Lingtai was very clear, so he sent someone to ask Zhang Hanqing to make a final political explanation. That night, Zhang Hanqing walked into the iron lion alley to bid farewell to this great man.
No matter how many nastiness and intrigues there have been before, Zhang Hanqing still treats a dying person with a sense of ritual and respect. As the saying goes, "When a man is about to die, his words are kind; when a bird is about to die, his song is also sad." Mr. Sun must have something to say to himself.
Stopping Zhang Hanqing's usual insincere consolation, Sun Yixian took a deep breath and said: "Young Marshal, I know your ambitions, and you were once our number one opponent of the Kuomintang. When I was there, I was favored by you many times. During the struggle, I never made a fatal move, which I know very well and am always grateful for.
The Kuomintang was founded by me, and I don’t want it to decline because of my death. The revolution has not yet succeeded, but it still has value. After all, it is my hard work. However, the talent within the party is withering, and it is still unclear whether there will be anyone to hold it up, or if one day it takes desperate measures and seeks confrontation instead of cooperation, that will be its end.
“I just hope that this day will never come, and I also hope that if this day comes, you can regard it as dissent within the party and not punish it. I think that with your political tolerance, you will not let me see things that I cannot bear to see. Han Qing, can you promise me? "
Zhang Hanqing remained silent. Survival of the fittest is the law of nature. No political party can last forever, and no dynasty in Chinese history can end well over and over again. This trust from Sun Yat-sen will tie his hands and feet.
"Sun ?Mr. Xi once pointed out: "For a revolutionary political party, the succession of power after the death of the first generation of charismatic leaders is often an insurmountable difficulty. The first generation of entrepreneurial leaders often have extraordinary abilities and have been under their shadow for a long time. It is difficult for the second generation to stand out as they grow up.
Once the first-generation leader dies, the successor will be out of reach in terms of ability and prestige, and it will be difficult for the party to produce a strong figure who can overwhelm all parties or maintain and win over various factions. With no one able to convince the public, a succession struggle within the party also emerged. "
If it's the same as before.
“Perhaps this is God’s will: with Zhang Hanqing, a great figure of the generation, the most majestic page of the great man Sun Yat-sen finally failed to turn. If Mr. Quan Xia had known this, would he have lamented, "Why should Zhang be born when he has a grandson?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 708 The Rise of National Capital
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
With the victory of the Southwest Campaign, various local forces in China suffered an unprecedented blow and decline. After the reshuffle of China's political situation, the People's Party, with its widely supported public opinion and absolute superior military power, has formed a one-party ruling situation, and its dominant position in politics is unquestionable.
Under these favorable circumstances, Zhang Hanqing was able to implement the aspirations he had cherished for many years, and a series of economic policies were promulgated one after another, which greatly improved the country's development.
During this period, China's national bourgeoisie achieved particularly rapid development, far beyond what could be compared with the same period in official history.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, especially after the establishment of the Republic of China, Chinese scholars began to transform from traditional literati aiming for official career to modern intellectuals. With their active participation, Chinese businessmen emerged as outstanding new types of capitalists for the first time.
With the purpose of saving the country through industry and the call to revitalize the national economy, they took the initiative to absorb advanced Western ideas and had the great ambition to strengthen the country and benefit the people. They demonstrated amazing talents in this space that was freer than officialdom and politics, and quickly became famous all over the country. Popular leader.
With their efforts, people corrected the discriminatory social stratification of "scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants" and strived to pursue equality and unity for all people represented by "workers, peasants, merchants, students, and soldiers." The rise of the national bourgeoisie ushered in the first golden age of Chinese businessmen.
"It is a pity that this golden age is hard-won, but it is fleeting. The rise of China's national bourgeoisie has indeed gone through a difficult and long process.
In the mid-19th century, under the dual pressure of Chinese farmers and Western powers, the centralized and authoritarian Manchu Qing Dynasty finally showed signs of collapse. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Nian Army and the two Opium Wars made this ruling group truly feel the "internal and external troubles". In order to deal with the "harm from the intimates" at home and the "harm from the limbs" abroad, they were forced to adopt a series of self-rescue measures. The "New Deal", also known as the "Westernization Movement", was known as the Westernization Movement in history.
Like all the "New Deal" that were just to maintain power without wanting to fundamentally renew civilization and political reforms, this "Westernization Movement" led by bureaucrats failed after more than thirty years. However, its impact on traditional concepts cannot be denied.
Although the thinking method of "Chinese learning as the body and Western learning as the application" is still conservative in nature, it implicitly and partially recognizes the advanced nature of Western civilization.
Judging from the results, this movement did give birth to the germination of Chinese industry: Zeng Guofan's Ordnance Institute in Anqing, Li Hongzhang's Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Steamship Investment Promotion Bureau, Kaiping Coal Mine, Tianjin Telegraph Bureau, Zuo Zongtang's Gansu Weaving Industry The General Administration, Fujian Shipping Administration, Zhang Zhidong's Hanyang Iron Works a large number of industrial entities emerged one after another, laying the necessary foundation for the further development of national industry and accumulating experience that can be used for reference.
What is more historically significant is that in order to adapt to the needs of "doing foreign affairs", the talent training system that has been followed for thousands of years has also undergone fundamental changes. In August 1862, Emperor Tongzhi approved the establishment of the "Beijing Tongwen Museum", which was merged into the Capital University in 1902. The introduction of Western-style education helped the Chinese people begin to get rid of their ignorance. They were finally able to open their eyes and peek into the distant and novel world.
After the changes in the late Qing Dynasty, people’s wisdom was opened up, and enriching the country and strengthening the people became the inevitable choice for this nation to rise again. China's best intellectual elites have taken their own responsibility for the rise and fall of the country, and have actively devoted themselves to the comprehensive reform of politics, economy, and ideological concepts. It was against this background that China's new businessmen emerged.
They possess a noble character that has never been matched by businessmen in the past dynasties: regardless of personal wealth, they strive to revitalize the national economy.
About fifty years later, when reviewing the development of my country's national industry, Mao Zedong once said that there are four people in my country's industrial circles who cannot be forgotten. They are "Zhang Zhidong who is engaged in heavy industry, Fan Xudong who is engaged in chemical industry, and transportation Lu Zuofu and Zhang Jian who was engaged in the textile industry."
Zhang Jian and Lu Zuofu, one was the former number one scholar of the Qing Dynasty, and the other was a passionate young man who devoted himself to the national revolution. They embarked on the road of industrial salvation from different directions, and both had impressive achievements. As a result, Zhang Jian died of illness at the age of seventy-three (1926), and Lu Zuofu committed suicide during the "Five Antis" movement launched by Mao Zedong at the age of fifty-nine (1952).
Zhang Jian’s fate revealed the hardships of saving the country through industry, while Lu Zuofu’s death announced the complete end of that golden age.
Zhang Jian is one of the iconic figures in the transformation of Chinese literati and officials into modern intellectuals. From being a talented scholar with a reputation in the south of the Yangtze River to becoming the number one scholar in the Jiawu Year, he could have had a very good career as an official. However, as a new scholar, he decided to give up his official career and start a new business in education and industry.??A new chemical industry base was opened in the southwest rear area to support the Anti-Japanese War and national construction.
Zhang Hanqing must try to unite all talented patriots under his banner so that they can better serve the country. When Fengjun entered Tianjin in 1920, Zhang Hanqing had already discussed with Fan Xudong the possibility of establishing a fertilizer production enterprise. At that time, due to poor seed quality and lack of fertilizer, the grain yield was less than 100 kilograms per mu. Encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is really hard to go thousands of miles away.
The land in the Northeast is fertile and is known as the "granary". The nearly 200 million acres of cultivated land can only produce 20 million tons of grain, and the average yield per mu is only 100 kilograms! Of course, Zhang Hanqing is not as capable as Yuan Longping, a great academician, in cultivating hybrid rice. But with chemical fertilizers, it is not difficult to double the yield.
And as for chemical fertilizers, isn’t the simplest one just ammonium bicarbonate? It is introduced in junior high school textbooks, and there is nothing complicated about the process. Because of the subsequent changes in the political situation, Zhang Hanqing had no time to pay attention to the "invention" of chemical fertilizers. He just explained the principles of chemical fertilizers to Fan Xudong and invested 3 million yuan to create the "Jiaqiang" fertilizer factory.
In the spring of 1922, the first batch of chemical fertilizers had been produced and shipped, and a "high yield" of an average yield of 200 kilograms per mu was achieved at the Tangshan Agricultural Experimental Field!
By the end of 1923, when the People's Army entered Beijing, Fan Xudong was embarking on an ambitious plan: to open "Jiaqiang" fertilizer plants to various cities across the country, with an annual output of one million tons - Zhang Hanqing replied directly Far from enough!
Because of Zhang Hanqing’s intervention, Huang Fengting, the cheap father-in-law, was sensitive to the huge business opportunities. He personally approached Fan Xudong and said that China National Cereals and Oils Corporation could fund the establishment of a large-scale chemical group, focusing on various fertilizers for agricultural production. Huang Fengting, who had made a lot of money with the young marshal, just spent 30 million to show his sincerity, so that he couldn't help but be tempted.
The People's Party government has successively invested in the construction of large blast furnaces in Panzhihua, Chongqing, Kunming and other places, taking advantage of the abundant different types of iron and steel in provinces in the southwest and northwest regions, such as Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Gansu, Xinjiang, Ningxia and other places. Mineral resources have become the raw material base for blast furnace production of large and medium-sized steel plants such as Panzhihua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Chongqing Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and Kunming Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.
With China Coal Group and China Iron and Steel Group being two major drag forces, as long as the government provides policy guidance, countless funds, technologies, and personnel will flock to these resource-rich areas like flies.
The industry at that time relied on coal mines as the main fuel, so the coal output can show the degree of industrialization. Steamships and railroads are the most important inventions of the industrial era and have the potential to accelerate subsequent growth. Their growth rates symbolize future acceleration potential. By the end of 1924, the output of steel, cement, and coal had approached or exceeded Japan.
At this stage, China’s completed railway mileage is 85% of Japan’s, the number of railways under construction is 1.5 times that of Japan, and the total mileage of railways under planning is four times that of Japan. China's modern manufacturing industry grew to 2.5%, plus modern transportation and commerce accounted for 4%. The gradual optimization of the economic structure has laid a material foundation for China to get rid of its status as a weak country.
Comparing the Sino-Japanese War, the Anti-Japanese War and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, in these three wars, whether the country can produce enough military supplies and transport these military supplies to the front line in time is an important factor in determining the outcome of the war.
At the end of 1924, at the turn of the year, the Ping-Tianjin region, Shanxi and the Yangtze River Delta (mainly Shanghai) regions had returned to pre-war economic levels, which resulted in a substantial increase in the central government's fiscal revenue and provided guarantee for the country's economic and military construction.
At the same time, Japan was still suffering from the lingering pain of the Great Kanto Earthquake, which caused huge trauma to the national economy. Because most of the buildings in Tokyo and Yokohama, which are industrial centers, were destroyed, property losses amounted to 10 billion yen, which made the Japanese economy, which was already in a deep depression, even worse.
After the earthquake, from 1923 to 1927, the Japanese government borrowed huge foreign debt from the United States, Britain and other countries, amounting to US$910 million. Relying on borrowed money and reserves obtained during the war, the Japanese government issued relief loans of up to 1.3 billion yen to major domestic consortiums. In this way, the Japanese economy gradually emerged from depression and entered a period of slow development.
The economic ebb and flow of the two countries at this stage allowed the People's Party, headed by the Feng faction, to continue to level Japan's fiscal revenue last year after taking control of Beijing, and once again overwhelm Japan with impressive performance of nearly one and a half times. People are left behind. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 709 Yu Yifan’s big plan
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Since that breakthrough night with Yu Yifan, Zhang Hanqing has been busy settling Zhang Zongchang, preparing to establish the Xinjiang Construction Corps, and then pacifying the southwest, followed by the design, discussion and implementation of the national government. Before he could take a breath, Sun Yat-sen passed away again.
I have always wanted to find an opportunity to settle things with Yu Yifan. After all, she is still a girl. Although unmarried cohabitation is not uncommon in some big cities at this time, it can't be left hanging for a long time, right? Even Huang Wanqing and Gu Ruiyu could quickly settle the matter themselves, not to mention Yu Fengzhi's acquiescence? But now that we are in a high position, it is difficult to do these things. But no matter how difficult it is, you have to do it. There is also Liang Qingzhu behind you.
After the promulgation of the "Labor Security Law" and the new "Constitution", another brand-new law was born to illuminate the times, that is, the new "Marriage Law". This law, which basically embodies Zhang Hanqing's will, clearly stipulates that the Republic of China implements monogamy. As one of the leaders of the country, it is not easy to deal with it at this time.
According to the principle that the law is not retroactive, those who had wives and concubines before will be recognized by the new law. The originally huge differences between wives and concubines were also abolished here, and became legal equality, shared property rights, and legitimate and concubine children all had the same inheritance rights. It was really a huge progress in the history of the Republic of China.
It’s just that this progress is Zhang Hanqing’s pain. In his heart, he is still a responsible man. Although he is carefree, he will not give up. Besides, this carelessness is a common problem among men and has nothing to do with whether he is a young commander or not.
On the surface, Yu Yifan seems careless and never asks for his status, but he knows that there is no woman who doesn't care about this. She just understands her own difficulties and doesn't make herself more troubled.
The more this happened, the more he felt guilty and wanted to make up for it elsewhere. He once thought about handing over his huge financial assets in Bank of China to Yu Yifan, but she had no intention of doing so. Asked what she thought, Yu Yifan just smiled cheerfully.
A woman’s heart is like a needle in the sea, it’s impossible to guess. If you rush to ask, she will hang on to you, but if you pretend not to care, she will rush to tell you. No, just two days later, Zhang Hanqing knew what she wanted to do, and Yu Yifan couldn't help but proudly revealed it to him.
Yu Yifan wants to start a newspaper.
“Well, this is not simple, but it is much simpler than modern times.
Because the Republic of China was still very messy about press and publishing: as long as you have money, just give you a number one, and as long as you don’t shout to knock down the head of the central government, and don’t go against the central government, you can publish whatever you like, and sell wherever you like. .
"But it's news that the girl's family runs a newspaper. As for money, it's not an issue. Zhang Hanqing can afford to run a daily magazine with a sales volume of millions and give it away for free, so he should just give her a break.
But Yu Yifan wants to run something big, something formal, something with national influence.
Zhang Hanqing touched her smooth and tender skin and asked teasingly: "Then which direction do you want to focus on?"
Yu Yifan had just recovered from his passion and his face was still flushed. He leaned lazily on Zhang Hanqing's chest and said slightly confused: "I want to start a big newspaper group. Can the Huang family sister start from nothing?" If I can make grain and oil bigger, I can also make newspapers bigger!"
The sister of the Huang family is Huang Ruqing. With the help of Zhang Hanqing, her father-in-law has been running the grain trade in Northeast China and gradually became bigger and bigger. Later, it developed into one of the twelve trusts in Northeast China, and later became China Cereals and Oils Group. Of course, Zhang Hanqing gave strong support in the initial stage and took great care of his policies. Otherwise, how could his industry expand so drastically in such a fast period of time?
This is not about helping others. Huang Fengting only had one daughter, Ruqing. In the end, the family property was still his, it was just a matter of the palms of his hands and the backs of his hands. With this relationship, this is one of the important reasons why Huang Fengting has always had the green light to expand.
Although she is not ranked fourth in Zhang's backyard, Yu Yifan has always consciously believed that she is in that position, so even though she is nominally Yu Fengzhi's niece, she is one generation younger than Huang Wanqing. , when she mentioned Huang Wanqing, she still called her "sister".
At present, China's newspaper industry is not very large-scale. Except for the People's Party's own mouthpiece "People's Party Daily" which travels to every corner of the world due to political reasons, there are very few that can cross provinces, let alone the whole country. It has had an impact.
Although Zhang Hanqing admired her imagination, he still wanted to understand clearly what stimulated this little girl to shed such a heavy blood. He touched her face, which was smooth and delicate: "Why do you have such thoughts?"
Yu Yifan’s clear big eyes were full of fascination: “During the May 4th Movement, you once published an article. Do you still remember??? "
How could you not remember? That was the first editorial written entirely in my own voice since time travel, if you ignore the plagiarized "Phoenix Nirvana". Because of it, the Feng clique could put on a sacred cloak and carry out legal, reasonable and reasonable attacks on the Anhui clique, even though the other party was in an orthodox position at the time.
Yu Yifan's eyes were bright: "I never thought before that an article could have such a big impact, no less than a cannon or a spear. Later, after many things happened, I became more and more aware of the importance of controlling public opinion. Even illiterate warlords know how to build momentum in newspapers before going to war. Hehe, you have done this many times."
Zhang Hanqing was not upset when he saw that she had brought a serious matter to him. He just touched her chest lightly with his hand. Yu Yifan laughed in surprise and quickly opened his hands, even though they had already been touched. Passed all over myself countless times.
"Since then, I have wanted to run a newspaper of my own and cheer for you every time. Because everyone knows that the People's Party Newspaper is owned by you. It can express your position, but it may not increase your persuasiveness. "
This insight is very unique and something Zhang Hanqing had never thought of before. Still too deeply influenced by later generations, political commentators only knew those who responded positively and never thought of secretly helping. If two tools work for him overtly and covertly, it will indeed be more recognized by readers than a dogmatic political article. It is not easy for Yu Yifan to have this insight.
"Of course, when I run a newspaper, I don't mean to flatter you. I still want to criticize the government's shortcomings and give the people an outlet to express their dissatisfaction, so that you can keep your tail between your legs every day and not dare to relax. Hee hee."
?????????????????????????????????????????????? There are praises and criticisms, but at critical moments it will still be on the side of the government, just like the newspaper industry in some European and American countries is dragging its feet. They run newspapers independently, and they criticize current ills. They can indeed allow the government to listen to some voices that are usually invisible, unexpected, and inaudible, and provide supervision to those in power.
But in many cases, they also act as thugs of the state, an arm in the country’s “cultural” struggle, as is the case with the New York Times.
But why do you say this so weirdly, "Be a human being with your tail between your legs"? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 710 Give her an explanation
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing rested for a while and felt that he was full of energy again, so he mustered up his energy and jumped on the horse again. He restlessly touched Yu Yifan's body with his elasticity: "Be a human being with your tail between your legs? Huh?"
Although Yu Yifan is no longer the female child she once was, she is still very afraid of his strength. She twisted her body helplessly, trying to escape from his upper and lower attacks, but with Zhang Hanqing's high fighting spirit, how long could she struggle? It took only a moment to declare that the city was lost. Zhang Hanqing moved vigorously while holding down her restless wrist: "Is it like this, cooperate with me when I need it, and then add some trouble to me from time to time?"
Yu Yifan smiled. It was extraordinary that he could think of politics at such a moment. But the way he used his movements to express his thoughts really matched her thoughts. Smart people know everything at once.
She pressed her head tightly to his face and said softly: "We live as a married couple, and the newspapers do the same. As long as you don't do too much, my newspaper will not embarrass you. But if you really can't do it, Okay, I’ll scold you in the newspaper too!”
Zhang Hanqing chuckled and said while making a big move: "I just want you to supervise me, otherwise I will be lawless."
The death-defying entanglement makes two people not only physically but also spiritually fused together.
Doing what you say is the energetic side of young people, not just in bed. The two discussed for a long time, not only about the mysteries of the body, but also about career. Early the next morning, a cheerful Yu Yifan began to formally prepare for her newspaper business.
The first thing is the naming. It has been decided that "China Newspaper Group" will be the name of the head office of Kaichuang, which will first run a daily newspaper and a weekly magazine.
The name of the daily newspaper is "Times Express", which is Yu Yifan's idea. The main publication mainly records current affairs, supplemented by political commentary, and the supplement is mainly close to people's livelihood. The entire article is based on criticizing the current ills, which not only puts pressure on the government, but does not touch the bottom line of the People's Party's governance.
Of course, it is necessary to use sensational internal references from time to time to show the People's Party's contribution to the country. That is to say, the general tone is similar to that of the "People's Party Daily", but it is different from the latter's official articles that are similar to praising virtues.
The political weekly is called "Looking", and its vision has been global. The name is very impressive. Needless to say, it must have been given by Zhang Hanqing. It mainly reviews the major events around the world in the past week and their impact on China. It also explains the Chinese leaders’ views on the world through it.
This requires an insider. But there is no problem. Yu Yifan will definitely get the latest and most suitable first-hand information. Zhang Hanqing is her biggest insider.
In order to increase her influence, Yu Yifan hired Sun Liechen, who was recovering from illness, as the honorary president, and Sun Fuyuan, the most famous supplement editor in the industry, as the chief editor of its supplement. As for the position of chief editor, she actually hired the most prestigious newspaperman at the time. Zhang Jiluan, I don’t know how she did it.
With Sun Liechen as the honorary president, China Newspaper Group can enjoy success everywhere. Some who knew the background conscientiously made corrections and improvements; there were some who were not enlightened and wanted to use administrative power to suppress them. After hitting a wall, they also found out that Chen Bulei was their backstage. The dignified member of the Politburo, the Minister of Propaganda, the Director of the People's Party Policy Research Office, the Marshal's senior adviser and literary daring, are they enough of a stinker?
Sun Liechen has "faded out of the world" for a long time, and even Zhang Hanqing is not willing to tire him out. This veteran of the Feng dynasty who was supposed to have passed away due to illness last year was lucky enough to pass through this hell gate under Zhang Hanqing's careful care. Because he only held the "empty post" of Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, he only looked at the internal reference every day, and at most showed up on very important occasions, so he was doing well.
Because Yu Yifan often visited him, the old and the young had a very good relationship with each other. Then suddenly one day, Sun Liechen came up with the idea of ??recognizing her as his adopted daughter. Zhang Zuoxiang also joked with him: Yu Yifan's aunt Yu Fengzhi is his adopted daughter. In this way, wouldn't Sun Liechen be a generation lower than himself?
Sun Liechen said with an open-minded smile that everyone would have their own relationship, and finally Yu Yifan was successfully promoted.
She and Zhang Hanqing both knew this meaning. It was to pave the way for their union with the young marshal, so as to minimize the adverse effects of marrying their aunt and nephew at the same time! I don’t know how to repay this feeling.
One day in October last year, Sun Fuyuan turned against Liu Mianji, the acting editor-in-chief of Lu Xun's poem "My Lost Love", which he had compiled into the "Morning Post Supplement". Then Yu Yifan took advantage of it and poached the corner. Otherwise, he will be poached by Shao Piaoping to the "Beijing News Supplement" before long. From this we can see that this little girl has been planning this for a long time.
The vitality of the supplement lies in its independence from the newspaper, because it is mainly commissioned to be compiled by outsiders, such as writers and scholars. During the Republic of China, it was published at Peking University and Tsinghua University in the north.?Professors are regular visitors. They are only responsible for manuscripts, not marketing. The boss also considers them as a facade and does not consider the specific readership of this edition.
In later generations, the situation was evened out. Supplements were compiled internally by newspapers and basically lost their independence. This resulted in a decline in the content of supplements. No wonder Chen Pingyuan, a professor at the Chinese Department of Peking University later, believed: "The supplements of mainland newspapers were not as popular in the last century. There weren’t many outstanding ones after the 1950s (20th century)”, among which there were “issues ranging from the editor-in-chief of the newspaper to the specific supplement editor itself.”
Originally, Sun Fuyuan did not agree with the idea of ??a young and beautiful girl like Yu Yifan to run a newspaper, but when he learned about Yu Yifan's identity and got her, she "will never cause the newspaper to be interfered with by the administration, and will never interfere with him." After being assured of the daily operation of the company, he readily accepted the order.
Newspapers have the social responsibility to supervise the government. How many newspapers have been shut down since the Republic of China? With Yu Yifan as a backer, as long as she remains consistent, "Times Express" will definitely be able to develop its own characteristics. This is the lifelong wish of the reporter.
Zhang Jiluan, who founded Beijing's "Minli Daily" and served as the editor-in-chief of "China News", was imprisoned by Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui for "fully fulfilling his duties as a reporter." When Yu Yifan proposed to him to hire him based on the "four no's" newspaper running policy of "no party, no selling out, no selfishness, and no blindness", he thought he had found a close friend and hit it off immediately.
“If he knew that this was just Zhang Hanqing plagiarizing his own initiative a year earlier, would he jump up and scold his mother?
However, the newspaper people at that time really had the backbone of educated people. Shi Liangcai, the king of the Shanghai newspaper industry, Chen Brai’s former boss, editor-in-chief of Shenbao and the king of the newspaper industry, once said, “People have personality. There is a reporting grid, and a state has a national grid. If the three grids do not exist, people will not be human, reporting will not be reported, and the country will not be a country."
This is especially appreciated by Zhang Hanqing. A literati should have the backbone of a literati. A very important part of the foreign legal system is public opinion supervision, but China's strength is far from enough.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There are indeed some conscientious newspapers in China that can point out social injustice, but which newspaper and periodical dares to face the mistakes of the state or administrative power? China's newspapers and periodicals can only comment on the incident afterwards, but they cannot directly denounce it.
He said this during a private meeting with Zhang Jiluan: "It is an honor to be friends with a person of character"
With these two heavyweights in charge, the software is basically done. As for the hardware, it is even simpler: a building was built in a short period of time on Chang'an Street, which was the Group Building, and later became one of the landmarks of Beijing in that era; newspaper registration and publication number were obtained by a director designated by the General Information Administration Handle it in person and send various documents to the group
As we all know, the General Information Administration is organized under the Ministry of Culture. The relationship between the Ministry of Culture and the Propaganda Department of the People’s Party is clear, and the first Minister of Culture, Liang Qichao, is a well-known supporter of “civil rights theory.” . He has always wanted to "extend civil rights", and even his nickname is "Master of Freedom House". One can imagine his attitude towards this newspaper that instills freedom.
When nearly 300 larger cities in 36 provinces across the country recited the articles of "Times Express" almost simultaneously, its influence suddenly exceeded that of almost all newspapers and periodicals, except for the official "People's Party Daily" and "Xinhua Daily".
From major national affairs to minor matters concerning people’s livelihood, everything is included. With its sharp language style, exclusive inside information, bold and to-the-point reporting, and relentless follow-up reporting until the goal is achieved, "Times Express" quickly spread throughout the country and became a hit.
Small newspapers and periodicals cannot match its scale, and large newspapers and periodicals dare not compare with it. The same dissatisfaction about people's livelihood is reported by other newspapers, and the officials may still push back, or even complain to the newspaper and suppress it; after the Times Express came forward, it not only had to apologize, but was also held accountable and reported on the progress. , how can we compete?
In just half a year, "Times Express" has officially become a benchmark in the journalism industry. When the separation of the three powers in the country is getting better and better, there is a tendency to become an independent fourth pole, and Yu Yifan is proud of this.
Zhang Hanqing was also very pleased that this newspaper was created by him. In order to centralize power, he basically completed the task through the People's Party and set the tone for the future of the country.
However, according to "Parkinson's Law", administration is a self-expanding monster. Without effective restraint, it will slide in an irresistible direction, and it will only become faster and more serious, and it itself is difficult to actively repair. And the determination to be a strong man and cut off his wrist. The power of Congress is an important constraint, but in a sense, Congress is also a high-level existence that is difficult to be grounded.
Only newspapers are the bridge that connects the joys and sorrows of thousands of families, and are the most convenient tool for ordinary people to see the world and the country through a thin piece of paper. To this end, he is also planning to establish a "Press Law" to protect the personal freedom and press freedom of news practitioners through legislation, allowing reporters and editors to get closer to the truth and convey what needs to be conveyed most.
With the existence of uncrowned kings, they can or dare to speak out for justice, so that the government and Congress can listen to the voices of the people at the bottom, understand the demands of society, and formulate appropriate policies, which is the blessing of the country.
In this sense, he gave Yu Yifan an explanation. Is this her not the "she" of the motherland? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Personal freedom and press freedom allow reporters and editors to get closer to the truth and convey what needs to be conveyed most.

Chapter 711: Respect Teachers and Value Education
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing will never forget the famous saying of a great man of later generations: "Science and technology are the primary productive forces." No matter in the old China with its declining national power, the new China with a lot of waste waiting to be revitalized, or in the environment after reform and opening up, no advanced technology can be achieved through introduction. All China can rely on is the diligence and wisdom of the Chinese people.
Because of the emphasis on education, the Fengxian system sprung up in just a few years, showing the good role of knowledge. Its military strength was nothing more than relying on the training of talents at the Northeast Martial Arts Lecture Hall, Wuhan Military Academy and later the National Defense University.
Although the investment for a Northeastern University is a bit more, it is all worth it when you think about the huge support and continuous stamina it provides for the revitalization of Northeast industry and economic prosperity.
Think about Japan, which used the funds from the Sino-Japanese War indemnity to invest in education and quickly "leave Asia and join Europe" and become a new great power; while the United States, despite its strict immigration policy, has given a green light to the introduction of high-level talents. ,spare no effort. Think about how much the country that cultivates talents has spent to successfully turn a person into a "talent". When it enjoys the results, it is taken over by the United States. In the long run, the United States will not be developed!
After having the opportunity to take charge of the Central Committee, the theme of respecting teachers and valuing education was put on the table again.
In China, education has taken several detours: from respecting intellectuals before liberation, to being devalued as worthless by the "stinky old nine" during the Cultural Revolution, to respecting knowledge and talents after the reform, and then Then there are the so-called "industrialized" education system reforms that have been criticized by many parties, the so-called "those who hold scalpels are not as good as those who sell tea eggs", and the re-improvement of teachers' salaries before Zhang Hanqing's time travel.
? Over and over again, talents are wasted and buried generation after generation.
The backwardness of modern China is inseparable from the backwardness of the quality of its citizens. Due to the obscurantist policies of the Manchu rulers, education in the modern sense only began to take shape after China's borders were opened by the powerful Western imperialists.
But it cannot be said that the status of educators in the 21st century is so noble and their salary has been greatly improved. Compared to the early Republic of China, teachers—to be precise, professors—were very well paid.
Speaking of professors during the Republic of China, many people admired and envied them. Because the intellectuals at that time were different from the intellectuals today. They had high knowledge, high status, high income and good income.
Take Mr. Lu Xun as an example. Everyone knows that Lu Xun earned a lot of money from writing manuscripts and being a professor, but how rich was Lu Xun? Some people say that Lu Xun was a "millionaire." According to statistics, Lu Xun earned a total of more than 120,000 silver dollars in the 24 years from 1912 when he went to work at the Ministry of Education in Beijing to his death in 1936, which is about 4.8 million yuan today.
This possibility is not impossible, because judging from the income recorded in the main content of Lu Xun's diary and the treatment of professors during the Republic of China, Lu Xun was indeed considered a rich man based on his income at that time.
"Today's people don't see the ancient moon, but this month once illuminated the ancients." Apart from Lu Xun, what was the treatment of other professors in the Republic of China? What is the difference between the economic status of professors in the Republic of China and professors today?
According to Article 20 of the "Regulations on the Qualification of University Teachers" and the "Salary Table of University Teachers" promulgated in June 1927, the monthly salary of a first-level professor at that time was 500 yuan in national currency, which is about 17,000 yuan today; the monthly salary of an associate professor was 340 yuan, about 17,000 yuan today. The monthly salary for a first-level lecturer is RMB 12,000 today; the monthly salary for a first-level lecturer is RMB 260, which is about RMB 9,000 today; the monthly salary for a first-level teaching assistant is RMB 180, about RMB 6,000 today.
In his article "Seven Years of Peking University", Mr. Li Shuhua talked about the salary of professors at Peking University during the Republic of China: "The highest salary for professors at Peking University is 280 yuan per month, and others are 260 yuan or 240 yuan per month. . The salary of a lecturer (note: not a grade, but a part-time teacher. Lu Xun was an employee of the Ministry of Education at the time, and he was also a lecturer part-time at Peking University) is calculated at five yuan per hour. The salary of a teaching assistant is about five to sixty yuan to one yuan per month. More than a hundred yuan.”
Someone once converted the monthly salary of professors at Peking University during the Republic of China, saying that the maximum monthly salary for professors at Peking University was 280 silver dollars, which is approximately RMB 12,000 today. Calculated at 5 yuan per hour, if you work 8 to 10 hours per week, your income can reach 160 to 200 silver dollars per month, which is about 6,000 to 8,000 yuan today.
??In other words, professors at that time could earn between 6 and 8,000 yuan per month just as extra money. Of course, the team of professors at Peking University at that time was far smaller than it is now, with only about 80 people.
Mr. Li Shuhua also said, "Life in Beijing is cheap. A small family can live on just a few dozen yuan a month. For example, if you spend 100 yuan a month, you can live a good life. You can rent a courtyard house for about There are more than 20 houses, and the rent is only 20 to 30 yuan per month. The average monthly rent for each room is about one yuan.?——Zhang Hanqing once emphasized this repeatedly at the People's Party Politburo meeting: "No matter how poor you are, you can't afford education, and no matter how hard it is, you can't make your children suffer." The state and local governments have actively invested a large amount of money to build schools and plan to popularize five-year compulsory education across the country.
For local governments that occupy educational resources and violate the above laws and regulations, once discovered, the administrative leader will be given a demerit and will not be promoted within three years. The head of the unit that violated the regulations will be demoted, dismissed or even fired depending on the severity of the case, and will be corrected within a time limit. , reported to the local legislative body for adjudication.
At the beginning of the Republic of China, in order to make up for the education gap with advanced countries caused by years of turmoil and corruption, the state encouraged private schools and used all means to achieve national literacy rates, school-age student enrollment rates and the scale of higher education. In all local governments' promotion methods for officials, in addition to examining their contribution to the economy, performance in education is a top priority.

Chapter 712 Far-reaching Measures
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
This directive was known as "the first order in heaven" in later generations, and later led to more than half of the local government officials rising from the position of paying close attention to education, and the voice of education committees at all levels expanded unprecedentedly.
??In the new Republic of China under the leadership of the People's Party, if so-called luxurious government office buildings are discovered in various places, it will be a major event followed by the whole country. The office building will not be moved easily. With the constraints of superiors, the strictness of supervisory agencies, and the all-pervasive reporters, who would take the risk of ruining one's reputation, losing one's official position, and abandoning one's title to do something that would allow "their predecessors to fall and the next generation to enjoy the benefits"? ?
Therefore, under the strict requirements and institutional constraints of the central government, paying attention to investment in education has always been the mainstream in all walks of life until the end of the century.
The only shortcoming is that later there were many "luxury classrooms", "the most beautiful building in xx - xx school" and other strange incidents, and there were also many "longest records - not repaired in xx years". There are reports such as "the government building" and "xx County Party Committee and County Government have been working in dangerous buildings for several terms."
In later generations, a major earthquake occurred somewhere that shocked China and the rest of the world. The only surviving building types were schools in various places. This is a blessing for the country and the nation.
In order to carry out strategic research on important national engineering science and technology issues, promote the continuous improvement of engineering science and technology levels, and provide reports and consultation on major scientific and technological issues in national economic construction and social development, Zhang Hanqing proposed the establishment of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. idea.
This forward thinking, which is in line with the two-camera system of later generations, finally gave the majority of scientific and technological workers a place to put themselves to use. The generous remuneration, the greatest possible research convenience and lifelong glory have directly stimulated the Chinese people's research interest in scientific theory and engineering technology, and accumulated valuable talents for China's further development.
With the joint efforts of the Propaganda Department of the People’s Party, the Ministry of Education and the local administrative departments, various places have set off an upsurge of investment in running schools, with the direction of “everything for students, for all students, and everything for students.”
The treatment of primary and secondary school teachers is also the best in history. It is directly subsidized by the national and provincial finances. Teachers receive the same salary as government employees and have become the first group in the Republic of China to enjoy paid annual leave according to law.
Not only does he attach great importance to popular education, Zhang Hanqing is also at the forefront of the times in terms of professional education. He actively instructed and participated in the "Five Masters" system - that is, the qualification certification system for lawyers, accountants, engineers, teachers and doctors, thus raising the social status of relevant middle- and high-level intellectuals to a very high stage.
Since then, the whole society has set off an upsurge of respecting knowledge and respecting senior intellectuals. Its influence on the politics, economy, and science and technology of China's later generations cannot be overestimated.
Taking into account the fact that education funds are insufficient to spread everywhere and the country's industrial technology level is poor, after five years of compulsory education are universalized, a nine-year system will be implemented appropriately based on local conditions. However, the direction of education in the future will be developed in two aspects: General education series, higher vocational education series.
"To talk about the chaos of China's education system in later generations, it would take three days and three nights to finish it. The names of secondary vocational education alone include vocational high school, secondary technical school, and secondary vocational school. Later, the level was slightly improved based on these, and it became the same as junior college level, called higher vocational education. The higher up, sorry, no. Head.
This means that these students have no possibility of advancement: although they were later liberalized when entering college, the basic courses are much worse than those in high school education, and they are not on the same starting line; when seeking a career, those with a bachelor's or junior college degree are at a higher level than they are. , putting them in a very awkward position.
Later, such schools became a refuge for poor and low-ranking students. Until Zhang Hanqing traveled through time, there was still no hope of solving this problem.
The general higher education level is not much better. The craze for name changes, mergers, and upgrades comes one after another. As a result, people who originally had a certain understanding of education do not keep up with the times and will be eliminated by the times in a short time.
More universities are not upgrading their teaching software and hardware, but they are making a lot of mistakes in their names, like the following. Who can tell the difference between these universities: University of Science and Technology, University of Technology, University of Engineering, University of Technology ? Can we do a good job in education by spending time and attention on these things?
There are so many universities in China, but none of them are among the first-class in the world; many professors’ papers are almost as good as their own, but few are truly valuable. We are too superstitious about building universities through demolition, but we never realize that a university is not called an influential university if it builds a few grand old-style buildings, but it depends on how many masters it has.
"The so-called great scholar does not mean that he has a building, but that he has a master." Otherwise, after the opening of universities in later generations, there will be hundreds of millions of diploma holders, and there should be hundreds of Nobel prizes.A prize or something? What about reality?
Therefore, what Zhang Hanqing needs is a simple and refined higher education, which is commonly known as "elite education." Leave more money for the people of this country. The whole family saves money so that their children can go to some unknown university. After all their savings are spent, they cannot find a job.
It is difficult to get into college, so there must be a way out for aspiring students, yes! Develop vocational education.
The country that has done the best in this area is Taiwan. They have built a talent education "overpass" that connects and communicates with secondary vocational education and higher vocational education, and vocational education with general education and adult education. Its vocational education includes secondary vocational education, junior college, undergraduate, master's, and doctoral education. level.
Students who do not choose general education after compulsory education can choose to advance to a vocational high school, and then to a four-year applied technical college (granting bachelor's degrees) or a university of science and technology (granting master's and doctoral degrees). At each stage, students can choose to continue their education or find a job based on their actual situation, but this does not prevent them from further studies when they have the opportunity.
It is in line with China’s national conditions now and will be for a long time in the future. At this stage, China needs elites in the scientific and technological field, and it also needs countless experts with certain skills who can contribute to national construction on the ground. Vocational education is an important direction.
No matter how you do it, the purpose of education is still to apply what you have learned. You have certain skills, and if you have correct homework and conceptual guidance, you will avoid many detours. In this way, the sampling and quality management standardization system initially implemented in arsenals also surfaced at the civilian level.
A Deming cycle allowed Japan to rise from the ruins, and "Made in Japan" became synonymous with high-end quality. China cannot always learn from behind the world. With Zhang Hanqing, she should at least have the opportunity to be at the forefront of the world.
In order to minimize the waste of resources, Zhang Hanqing single-handedly established the "China National Standardization Committee", taking the lead in introducing the later popular ISO9000 quality management system into China, and called the sampling system the No. 1 National Standard (GB0001), which represents the scale of China's industrial system. We have made a good start with the transformation, standardization and systematization.
When large-scale enterprises established themselves, the concept of "quality first" was firmly rooted in all walks of life. "Made in China" should not be synonymous with shoddy manufacturing, but should give the world an image of "high-end and classy" . Start doing this now and spring will be here soon.
Industrial management requires scientific spirit and modern technology. How to effectively utilize limited human, financial, material, time, information and other business resources through scientific methods to maximize output, and effectively combine technology and management to achieve twice the result with half the effort. For this reason, in various engineering colleges, Industrial engineering (ie) has become one of the required subjects.
Northern Jiaotong University was the first to adopt this concept as a new major, and later established the country's first Industrial Engineering Research Institute for this purpose.
A large number of graduates who have received universal education gave up the tradition of personal instruction, took over the tools of their predecessors, and used new ideas to integrate China into the wave of industrialization in a very short period of time.
Compared with other imperialist powers in the same period, China's industrial sector's pursuit of quality has been destined to be extraordinary since the beginning of industrialization. "Made in China" is no longer synonymous with low-quality and low-price dumping, but a guarantee of excellent quality.
Zhang Hanqing’s efforts have yielded fruitful results. At the beginning of industrialization, China was at the high end. Large-scale, assembly line and intensive enterprise production have enabled China's material production to expand rapidly, and have also provided continuous support for population growth and employment, accelerating China's industrialization process.
As China moves toward industrialization faster and faster, various companies are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. However, having been in a feudal society for a long time, the Westernization Movement did not last long, and most of them focused on engineering. How many people can understand the capitalist economy? How to bring the traditional Chinese family business management concept onto the right track of modern scientific management is particularly necessary to introduce a business administration major in each university.
Why did the United States continue to develop its industry in later generations? That's the result of their management-focused research. Behavioral science, management science, technical economics, industrial economics and other disciplines were born as a result and are constantly growing new branches.
Taylor, the most controversial but seminal master of modern management science in the United States, died ten years ago, but through more explorations in the management academic community, its MBA education has developed more and more widely, Erwick, Cass The research of Te, Drucker and others has also continued to lead its leaps. Now, it’s up to China.
At the same time, Zhang Hanqing is planning the civil service system and arranging the drafting of the Civil Servant Law in order to fundamentally clarify the relationship between state employees serving the country and obeying the People's Party. At the beginning, he is preparing to form a "single-track system" for civil servants' retirement pay. , synchronized with personnel in enterprises and institutions.
In addition, the national credit system and personal credit system are also under preparation, and the patent system has been submitted to Congress for review. All this marks that the Republic of China is moving in a positive and positive direction under the influence of Zhang Hanqing, and is thriving and has a bright future.

The concession is a humiliation imposed on colonial or semi-colonial countries by imperialist countries. It is called a "state within a state". The sovereign state has lost its administrative jurisdiction and judicial independence over this place. Starting from the mid-19th century, Britain had opened special concessions in seven port cities in China: Shanghai (soon to be merged into the Shanghai Public Settlement), Hankou, Tianjin, Jiujiang, Guangzhou, Zhenjiang, and Xiamen British Concession.
These concessions in China are the earliest concessions or the only concessions opened locally. The geographical location is quite advantageous, and the United Kingdom is the largest trading country with China. These Chinese and British concessions have developed into prosperous commercial and trade areas, with independent municipal agencies, ministries and bureaus of industry, and police forces.
Japan formed five concessions in China, namely Tianjin, Chongqing, Hankou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. France also has concessions such as Hankou and Shanghai. The United States originally had the Shanghai Hongkou concession, which was later merged with the British and merged into the public concession. Russia and Germany also had it, but they gradually lost their concession rights due to changes in their respective countries.
Zhang Hanqing once learned the famous saying "Chinese and dogs are not allowed" in middle school history, and since then he has had a strong indignation against the concession.
After the Feng Faction and the People's Party took control of the Chinese government and gradually formed a unified situation, the expansion of Eastern and Western imperialism in China was restrained. Now, it is time to consider expelling this cancer that has stayed on the Chinese nation. .
Under Zhang Hanqing's determination, the newly established Beijing government with majestic courage issued a cry to "take back the concession, take care of tariffs on its own, and abolish unequal treaties" at the beginning of New Year's Day in 1925, which made the oppressed Chinese nation I was inspired and wholeheartedly supported this move. Large-scale demonstrations broke out in major cities such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shenyang, Hankou, Nanchang, Guangzhou, Jiujiang, Shanghai, and Nanjing to show solidarity.
After the People's Army advanced into Shanghai, the ministers from the United States, Britain, Japan and France inquired about the attitude of the Republic of China government and established an alliance. At this time, agents from all parties came on stage one after another. The difference was that Britain, the United States and other countries chose a more "civilized" and "trade open" stance that was more acceptable to Zhang Hanqing - advocating that Shanghai be a free port, and China The government must ensure Shanghai's prosperity and stability.
This idea is more in line with Zhang Hanqing’s thoughts, because it is unrealistic at this stage to force the great powers out of the country, and even if it is achieved, it will not be conducive to the recovery and development of China’s industrial economy - is it necessary to close the country again? Only by changing its appearance and peacefully taking over concession sovereignty by establishing "special economic zones" in later generations but allowing foreign capitalists to continue to make profits is the right way.
It was only the "Four Proposals" put forward by the British: adding printing by-laws, increasing terminal donations, registering exchanges, and the so-called "Bill to Ban Heavy Industry" that undermined China's sovereignty and simultaneously hit China's already fragile national industry and commerce that created the foundation for the Republic of China. The government is firmly opposed to it.
After more than a year of no progress in negotiations, the British decision was passed alone at the Shanghai Taxpayer Conference on June 2, which aroused strong opposition from all walks of life in Shanghai, including the national bourgeoisie.
During the same period, Japan was at a disadvantage in previous battles with the People's Army and the Fengjun Army, and almost lost all its interests in the Northeast except for the Kanto Prefecture and the South Manchuria Railway. The important Jiaoji Railway was actually handed over in the 12th year of the Republic of China under the pressure of the People's Army, so it has always held its breath. Because the Northern People's Army is really powerful and the Northeast is where the Fengtian faction's fundamental interests lie, force has proven to be unfeasible, so the method of aggression has been changed.
Its method is to imitate the British during the Industrial Revolution and use sweatshop methods to squeeze out the surplus value of Chinese workers. The most prominent area is in the textile industry.
After the Sino-Japanese War, China was forced to sign the Shimonoseki Peace Treaty, allowing Japan to set up factories at various ports in China and use China's raw materials and cheap labor to carry out economic aggression. Other major powers followed suit and set up factories at various ports in China.
The Japanese have 23 yarn mills in Shanghai alone, accounting for two-thirds of the total yarn mills in Shanghai. Japanese factory owners treat workers very harshly. Workers work more than 12 hours a day and are paid only 1.5 cents a day. They also have to withhold 5% of the factory's savings, which will not be returned until they have worked for ten years. Those who quit midway have their savings. That is, it was confiscated.
Because the industries under the control of the People's Party are typically heavy in the north and light on the south, which is related to the fact that they started in the Northeast. After the liberation of East China, especially Shanghai, in order not to cause major fluctuations, the policy was mainly aimed at stabilizing the pre-war economy. There are more people's livelihood projects and financial projects, but as for industry, it is still mainly based on the original ones.
In particular, the "Labor Law" of the Republic of China was only popularized in the north. It was still very effective in the concession area of ??Shanghai, especially foreign-funded enterprises. This paved the way for the tragedy that occurred later.
Japan also took action during the same period. In May, dayIn the name of repeated unrest among male workers, cotton mills in Japan actually fired all male workers and replaced them with female workers, which triggered a general strike in 22 factories.
After mediation by various groups in Shanghai, work was resumed on the condition of improving workers' treatment and returning savings. Unexpectedly, the Eighth Factory of Waiwai Cotton Mill fired dozens of workers. The workers were dissatisfied and elected eight representatives including Gu Zhenghong to negotiate with the factory owner. There was a dispute during the negotiation, and the Japanese suddenly shot and killed Gu Zhenghong, and injured seven others.
The injured workers requested assistance from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau in the public concession. Not only did the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau not give them fair treatment, they instead charged them with disturbing public order. This made the crowd even more angry. On May 22, various groups in Shanghai held a meeting to commemorate Gu Zhenghong. Students from various universities in Shanghai attended. Four people were arrested while passing by the public concession.
Because these places were out of the control of the Republic of China government, the Shanghai headquarters of the People's Party asked government agencies to lodge stern representations with the Japanese side, while entrusting two groups, black and white, to carry out rescue operations.
Originally, it was only a matter between Japan and China, and the public concession had to protect Japan. They believed that no matter what the reason, the Chinese could not be allowed to "make trouble" in the concession, otherwise they would "break the rules." This was mainly caused by the British.
The negotiations between the British and Chinese governments on the "Four Proposals" have been protracted. China will never relent and has long been impatient. It will take this opportunity to put pressure on China. It also serves as a litmus test: once the Chinese government cannot deal with this atrocity by the Japanese and the favoritism of the public concession, then we can use a tougher stance to create a fait accompli, or bypass this endless negotiation.
In this case, the ball is in the court of the PPP. The murderer of Gu Zhenghong, the Japanese "Internal and External Cotton Mills", was in the concession and could not be controlled by the Chinese police; the public concession clearly favored the Japanese, and there was no room for reasoning. This makes the Chinese government feel like they have been slapped in the face and are not allowed to fight back, but considering that the four major powers are behind the concession, and they dare not enter the concession to fight hard, that is a big deal!
We have no choice but to resort to large-scale demonstrations to protest.
The Shanghai Student Union held a meeting and decided to organize a speech team to go to the concession to publicize and protest against the detention of Chinese students. The Shanghai Provincial Headquarters of the People’s Party discussed and felt that this was the only way to go for now, but also considered that the unarmed students could not prevent the possible persecution, so they contacted the gang leader Du Yuesheng through personnel from the Central Investigation Department and asked him to try to take care of them.
The party committee and government of a province represent the country, but they are unable to do anything about what happens in the concession, and instead want to intervene indirectly through the underworld. It is really a shame for the country! This is true even for governments that are relatively powerful, but not for ordinary people! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 714 A bloody day

?? Du Yuesheng was originally a disciple of Huang Jinrong. He was also a generation younger and could be regarded as a rising star in Shanghai. With considerable resourcefulness and decisiveness, he is able to handle both black and white, and is comfortable in the business, military, and political circles, with his tentacles extending to finance, industry, and newspapers. Now he is the eldest brother on equal footing with Huang Huangrong and Zhang Xiaolin.
He didn’t hesitate to agree to the People’s Party’s request. Firstly, his personal "righteousness" was stimulated in the face of this powerful patriotic trend, and secondly, he believed that "money can be used up, but friendship can never be used up." The People's Party's influence in Shanghai is growing, and it will eventually regain control. The strength is there.
If he doesn’t take care of it now, one day, his good days will come to an end. Although he had some connections during the rise of the Feng clan, the connections also needed to be managed.
After the People's Army entered Shanghai, Huang Huangrong simply gave up all the territory and interests outside the concession. He did not stand up to the new government as many people had speculated, and would rather be said that he was "old and timid." .”
Du Yuesheng thinks Huang Huangrong is quite wise. Three years ago, when the farce between Huang Huangrong and Lu Xiaojia, the son of Zhejiang governor Lu Yongxiang, to attract Lu Lanchun's attention ended in Huang Huangrong's fiasco, Du Yuesheng believed that the people will not fight with the officials, no matter how big the situation is. The underworld is the same.
Almost everyone in Shanghai knows this. Speaking of it, this is probably the most "prominent" thing in the life of Lu Xiaojia, who was once known as the "Four Young Masters of the Republic of China" with Zhang Hanqing: causing a scene in Shanghai.
In 1922, Huang Huangrong, the gangster leader in Shanghai, specially built a stage and named it Gongtai in order to praise Kun Ling Lu Lan Chun. Every day there are gangsters and thugs occupying four seats. As long as Huang Jinrong applauds, they will cheer with all their strength. Until one day, a handsome young man suddenly shouted and cheered in the box. It turns out that Lu Xiaojia also fell in love with Lu Lanchun and wanted to be in the limelight to get her attention, but he didn't know about this relationship.
This is tantamount to disturbing Tai Sui's head. Aren’t you having trouble with Boss Huang? The reason why the underworld is called "black" is that they have no reason to be tough and have no reason to show their fists. Huang Huangrong, who felt embarrassed in front of his sweetheart, asked his subordinates to drag Lu Xiaojia out and beat him severely on the spot.
At that time, I didn’t know who he was provoking. It was not until the next day that Lu Xiaojia relied on his father’s power to instruct He Fenglin, the then Shanghai Songhu Military Guard and Lu Yongxiang’s old subordinate, to kidnap Huang Jinrong to the He Mansion in Longhua and lock him in a dungeon. After being tortured, he was able to escape through the mediation of Du Yuesheng.
Huang Huangrong, who was so humiliated, did not muster up the courage to challenge Lu Xiaojia again, and strictly restrained his subordinates not to conflict with Lu Xiaojia again. He is a sensible person: Nothing will happen if Lu Xiaojia kills him. If he kills or injures the other party, not only will he not be able to stay in Shanghai, but he may die without knowing where his grave is.
Not only did he not dare to touch Lu Xiaojia, he also had to prevent others from touching him, so as not to harm the fish in the pond.
Lu Yongxiang's strength collapsed under the attack of the People's Army, which was three times five divided by two. It is said that the People's Army only used less than one-tenth of its power. As the People's Party and People's Army system takes root in the land of China, no matter how good you are in arithmetic, you will know that the People's Army is an existence that cannot be offended.
Now that people ask him to do something, what else is there to say? Morally speaking, he has to do a good job. So when Wu Thirty Middle School needed "people with the most mass power" to join, Du Yuesheng immediately canceled all entertainment, saying that he had serious things to do, but secretly began to mobilize troops.
He asked his men: "Send as many people as possible to attend the mass meeting in Jiumu Land; protect the safety of the People's Party members as much as possible; maintain the order of the venue as much as possible; and respond to all opinions raised by the People's Party."
On May 30, the Student Union sent several teams to march and give speeches in the concession. On the morning of that day, some students were arrested again on Nanjing Road and locked up in the old arresting room on Nanjing Road. Citizens and students were very angry after hearing this. They mobilized more than a thousand students and people to follow the arrests unarmed to the door of the arresting room, demanding the release of the arrested, and confronted dozens of heavily armed police officers.
The stalemate lasted until about three o'clock in the afternoon. Suddenly, the British police chief Avoson ordered to shoot at the crowd. Four students were killed on the spot and 30 were seriously injured. Thirteen of the seriously injured people later died of their injuries. The concession authorities even mobilized troops, declared martial law, and shot people arbitrarily. Shanghai's universities were closed down.
In history, this was called the "May 30th Incident"; now, it can only be called the "May 30th Incident" because the People's Party's backhand made it even bloodier.
After the tragedy, the whole country was shocked. Students in Beijing responded the next day, and students in major cities across the country also went on strike. The storm was surging and anti-imperialist demonstrations were held, and public opinion was boiling.
Intellectual leader Zhang Taiyan published "For"The Electricity of Haiying Patrol Patrol and Massacre of Students in the Concession": "It is believed that arresting Ying without punishing him is not enough to punish him, and arresting Ying and punishing him may not be enough to prevent future troubles. Only by instructing the diplomatic authorities to quickly take back the municipal administration of the concession, the common people can Once and for all, the people will be reborn." The finger has been pointed at the source of the tragedy - the concession itself.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China was ordered to immediately interview the British Minister in China. For the first time, Foreign Minister Gu Weijun showed no etiquette and only said one sentence to the minister: "I have been ordered to inform you, please tell your government that blood will be paid for with blood!"
Later, the Central Committee of the Chinese People's Party issued a statement, strongly condemning this atrocity and demanding that all parties involved, especially the United Kingdom, "stop the massacre during the subsequent investigation period, otherwise the People's Army in Shanghai will not hesitate to exercise protection The obligation of national security, and all responsibilities arising therefrom, should be borne by the British government!"
With the government's tough response and the strong support of the people across the country, the trade unions in the Shanghai Concession organized a larger-scale strike. During this period, the People's Party Party Headquarters in Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang launched a fund-raising campaign to support the striking workers. Du Yuesheng, who felt extremely guilty, took the lead in donating a large amount of money, which was highly praised by public opinion and also made his career a success. His reputation skyrocketed.
When the tragedy happened, Zhang Hanqing was angry and thought to himself: he thought of British imperialism too simply! Originally, Japan was only regarded as the main imaginary enemy, but unexpectedly, Britain and Japan are still on the same page!
More than ten years after the founding of the Republic of China government, the People's Army also had millions of divisions under its command (the construction corps were all reserve soldiers, who still had a unified organization and command system, and could be re-converted into soldiers at any time). How could it continue to do so? Let our countrymen be humiliated and bullied like this!
If so, what is the difference between him and these warlords in history! Fortunately, in another time and space, I still swore to point out the country and the people.
He fought so hard that he dared to pull the emperor off his horse. Mao Mao was always uncompromising, but in the end he won the hearts of the people and firmly established himself in the world. Even if I am beaten back to the Northeast again, I have to fight hard. I am lucky enough to be in this time and space, and I have to show the momentum of the Chinese no matter what!

An emergency telegram made the new commander of the Nanjing Military Region, Ma Longtan, more energetic after a sleepless night, and also relieved his original conflicting and angry mood. This 68-year-old veteran of the Feng Dynasty had a strong sense of integrity. During the Japanese occupation of Northeast China in later generations, in order to refuse the fake post of president of the "China-Manchuria Autonomous Association" appointed by the Japanese, he slapped someone in front of him and hit his head on the bed. Blood.
This elder who had been following Zhang Zuolin since he started his career was also Zhang Zuolin's ally brother. Historically, Zhang Zuolin was suspicious of Zhang Zuolin because he believed that his papers and martial arts were far superior to him. The problem resulted in him being relieved of his military duties.
However, after Zhang Hanqing traveled through time, in order to enable Fengjun to keep up with the pace while reorganizing the People's Army, he lobbied Zhang Zuolin to let him take on the political work of Fengjun (different from the People's Army's approach), which would give full play to his abilities. Advantage, but it will not put Lao Zhang in danger of having his military power taken away. Therefore, in the process of expansion of the Fengxian in the past few years, his reputation was not prominent and his position was not prominent.
But the influence is huge.
He runs the army very strictly, and if anyone in the army disturbs the people and causes trouble, he will be severely punished. There were many officers and soldiers recruited by the bandits in the Feng army. Sometimes they relapsed into their old ways, so Ma Longtan personally interrogated them and publicly shot the leaders. So much so that the people made up a folk song to praise him: "Malongtan manages the army strictly, catches bad guys, redresses the grievances of the people, and the land of Fengcheng has a blue sky."
Ma Longtan has done a lot of behind-the-scenes work along the way that Zhang Hanqing has benefited Northeast China and even China. Like respecting teachers and valuing education, he once asked his accountant how much money he had, and the accountant replied 10,000. When he learned that he wanted to donate to fund education, the accountant who loved his boss changed his story in order to leave some money with him. I was wrong, it was only five or six thousand. Later I saw that Ma Longtan insisted on donating, so I had to ask Ma to count. Ma Longtan didn't say a word, but took a pen and wrote a big word "Qing".
This word was taken home by the accountant and carefully framed, and passed down from generation to generation as a family motto.
Zhang Hanqing has talked about this matter on various occasions. He said that if all members of the People’s Party are like this, we can defeat no matter how many enemies or strong opponents we have. "Mr. Ma is a flag of the People's Party, the People's Army, and the Government of the Republic of China"!
Originally he should have retired, but given that his actual military position was not high, and he had only been a lieutenant general or general before, in order to comfort this elder he truly respected, Zhang Hanqing had been planning to create an opportunity for him: to formulate a military plan for the Li People's Army. The time for his conferment is not far away, and we need to give him a lifelong honor before he retires. The commander of the Nanjing Military Region is a starting point.
Even if he has been a commander for a day, Zhang Hanqing still has a way to give him a star!
With the frequent telegrams from Malongtan, the elite People's Army was ready to avenge their humiliation. Of course, we must first use the situation of mourning the soldiers to create a stir in public opinion - this is a point that the People's Party, which has experienced various ups and downs after the May 4th Movement, is familiar with.
The Shanghai Provincial Headquarters of the People's Party organized the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions of 200,000 workers and 50,000 students overnight, and decided to hold a general strike, class strike, and market strike the next day. On the 31st, the Shanghai Provincial Department of the People's Party, the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, the National Student Federation, the Shanghai Student Federation and the General Federation of Road Business Circles elected representatives to form the "Joint Committee on Industry and Commerce", which proposed punishing the murderer, compensating compensation, and canceling the consulship. 17 negotiation conditions including the permanent withdrawal of the British, Japanese, naval and army forces stationed in Shanghai.
At the same time, the movement continued to develop and expand, and people in major cities and hundreds of towns across the country, including Beijing, Tianjin, Nanjing, Qingdao, Hangzhou, Kaifeng, Zhengzhou, and Chongqing, held demonstrations. Strikes, school strikes, market strikes, electricity supply, and donations were used to express support in various forms, forming a nationwide anti-imperialist wave of anger and gaining support from the international working class.
The heavily armed Baoshan detachment of the Shanghai Armed Police Corps went to the north entrance of the concession, and the Hongkou detachment went to the west entrance. They directly protected the parade and demanded the arrest of Chief Patrol Officer Mai Gaoyun, Chief Inspector Aifusen and related perpetrators.
At this time, the British would never have thought that they had made a huge mistake. They still put on a face of "I am a gangster and who am I afraid of?" and lost the opportunity to control the situation to the maximum.
The British troops did not allow the parade to enter, and a dispute broke out between the two sides. A battalion of British Marines also came to help. Facing the foreign guns and artillery held high, the armed police led by the detachment leader Gao Qiyun were not afraid and pointed their guns at the British soldiers.
Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 12th Army of the People's Army of the Nanjing Military Region, was ordered to lead his troops to Nanjing Road for support.
At that time, many Chinese soldiers, under the prestige of foreign aggression, could not help but "be frightened by the foreigners when they heard the cry of dysprosium, and bowed their knees to the crooked hut." However, Zhang Zizhong was so full of blood that he sent a regiment to forcefully advance the concession.
Smith, the British concession consul, sent someone to tell Zhang Zizhong: "The concession is a territory shared by all countries, and Chinese troops are not allowed to enter!"
Zhang Zizhong replied to him: "The concession is not a haven for you to kill my compatriots wantonly! The British shot my unarmed people first. The commander of the army was ordered by the superior to carry out the task and assist the Chinese police in interrogating and punishing the culprits who were accomplices of humans and gods. Anyone who dares to block is a blatant provocation to our army and will be severely punished!"
Smith ordered the British troops to shoot at the People's Army. Zhang Zizhong immediately ordered all the ministries: "If he doesn't offend me, I won't offend him. If he offends me, destroy him resolutely!"
But Smith didn’t believe that the Chinese soldiers, who had always been ridiculed as the “sick man of East Asia,” really dared to shoot. Which negotiation with China did not end with China’s final defeat? Even if there is a brave man among them, he will never be stronger than a weak government. He regarded Zhang Zizhong's words as a kind of harsh words and ordered the British army: "Ignore it and shoot!"
As soon as the gunfire rang out, the situation was no longer controllable by both parties. At this time, intensive gunfire came from the west. It turned out that the Hongkou Squadron of the Armed Police had exchanged fire with the British army. The soldiers of the People's Army were already filled with righteous indignation, and of course they immediately fought back against the British army as ordered by their commanders.
In an instant, bullets were fired like fried beans, suppressing the opponent intensively. Because the British army was small in number and did not expect the People's Army to actually dare to shoot, more than a dozen people were killed immediately, and the surviving ones fled into the concession like rabbits.
The crowd in the march burst into enthusiastic shouts, and the national self-esteem that had been suppressed for many years sprouted. I don’t know who shouted “Long live the People’s Party!” The infected people couldn’t help shouting: “Long live the People’s Party!”
?This sound comes one after another, forming a torrent that travels and sings in the streets and alleys of Shanghai, expressing gratitude and heartfelt support for the People's Party who is not afraid of violence and makes decisions for the Chinese people.
Zhang Zizhong’s heart surged as he listened to these calls from the bottom of his heart. He felt that since the matter had become a big deal, it was better to arrest the culprit in this situation, which could also comfort the souls of the people who died. In this way, even if you are seriously punished, even go to military court or even be shot for it, your death will be worthwhile and you will have a clear conscience for the country!
Immediately, an order was given to stop fighting and a message was sent, demanding that the British hand over the murderer immediately and stop all confrontational actions.
The British Marine Battalion has woken up from the initial confusion and realized that it has encountered a tough opponent. Since the other party dared to expand the trouble, of course they wouldn't care about killing a few more British people. I heard that the other party was led by a military commander, and I thought that there must be a lot of soldiers and horses, so while I was perfunctory, I urgently notified the British and American warships relying on the Huangpu River to prepare for battle. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Zhang Zizhong negotiated several times and found that although the British attitude was very soft, they did not make any substantive response. It is estimated that the other party went to move reinforcements. In order to prevent long nights and long dreams, the People's Army was immediately ordered to "break into the concession and seize the culprit. If there is resistance, shoot to death!"
The People's Army roared into the concession gate originally guarded by the British and Indian Asan, leaving aside the trembling British patrolmen and Marines, and dragged out the culprits of the incident, Chief Inspector Mai Gaoyun and Chief Inspector Afusen.
The cheering crowd immediately surrounded the two people layer by layer, and screams suddenly came from inside. When a group of soldiers from the People's Army finally managed to get in, they saw two people huddled together with their faces covered in blood, their noses and noses bruised and swollen, mumbling to themselves and groaning something.
Faced with this group of "barbaric" people, Smith had nothing to do. He angrily protested to Zhang Zizhong and scolded Zhang Zizhong for "ignoring human rights and starting a war without authorization. He will be responsible for all the consequences today!"
When Zhang Zizhong saw that more than a dozen lives had been lost, he knew he would not give up. However, he was a tough guy and was already prepared to accept the severest punishment. He responded coldly: "Shoot at our unarmed workers and students. Is this what you call 'human rights'?
"The four students who were still alive and kicking yesterday morning have fallen under your evil guns. The blood of their seven-foot bodies has not yet cooled, and the anger of the 450 million Chinese people has not yet subsided. If Mr. Zhang hadn't come with his guards, you would have taken action against me, the lieutenant general of the Chinese People's Army! You are still speaking out loud here and talking about "human rights". It is really shameless! "
More than a dozen soldiers were lost, and more importantly, the Chinese soldiers, who had always been weak, actually shot at British soldiers. The British, who had always prided themselves on being an empire where the sun never sets, greatly lost their face and could never let it go.
At 2 p.m., the British light cruiser Grain Goddess Cardiff docked on the Huangpu River fired nearly 10 heavy artillery shells at Wusong Road, killing 7 citizens on the spot, seriously injuring 11 people, and injuring more than 90 people. British Marines also landed at Wusongkou, intending to put pressure on the People's Army.
When the news came, the whole country was shocked!
This is no longer a provocation, this is a declaration of war against China! what to do? The British relied on their strong ships and powerful artillery, but they did not take the Chinese seriously. They had the courage to come over and give it a try to see what the Chinese could do!
When the incident got serious, Zhang Zizhong did not dare to take action. While he called the central government for instructions on how to deal with it, he ordered the army's artillery regiment to dispatch urgently, loaded with live ammunition, to deal with possible escalation of the conflict by the British.
Because of the backward communication methods, the connection between the Supreme Command and the frontline troops is relatively slow, and it takes time to send electricity back and forth. But at this important moment, the British warship turned a blind eye to the People's Army artillery on the shore, but raised the "rice" flag and raised the black muzzle again!
Zhang Zizhong ordered to notify the forward observation post and use signal flags to warn the warships, asking the other side to stop provocative actions. If the other side did not listen to the warning, they would fire to drive them away. Instead of restraining itself, the "Cardiff" turned its muzzle and aimed at the artillery regiment's position.
Which one is intolerable? Zhang Zizhong was angry, and so were the people's officers and soldiers. Although the commander did not issue an order to reload the artillery at that time, the gunners who were angered by the arrogance of the British ship loaded the guns one after another without waiting for the order to be issued.
For the People's Army's artillery regiment, although it has a total of 54 75mm cannons, there are still many disadvantages for fighting against "huge" sea monsters.
First of all, this People's Army artillery has no experience in such land and sea artillery battles; secondly, the reputation of the Empire on which the sun never sets is an invisible pressure on Chinese soldiers; more importantly, the "Cardiff" For such a cruiser with thick armor, it must use a large-caliber direct-fire gun to sink it.
The caliber of the People's Army's field artillery as direct-fire artillery is too small, and the mountain guns and howitzers are both direct-fire artillery, and they are unable to deliver a fatal blow to the "Cardef" battleship. The power of the "Cardiff" warship's eight 155mm cannons is unprecedented among the People's Army participating in the war. This is one of the reasons why the British army is so rampant.
At that time, the 75mm howitzer was a light artillery in the West, but it was regarded as a heavy artillery on the Chinese battlefield. Only a few elite units were equipped with it, such as the 27th Division started by Zhang Zuolin in the early days; and the 105mm Howitzers are medium-sized artillery commonly equipped by Western armies, but they are rare on the Chinese battlefield.
Several major arsenals introduced production lines from the Soviet Union in the middle of last year, but the output was limited. For the time being, they could only prioritize equipping the 27th Army, which serves as the main garrison force. The Nanjing Military Region did not even have the opportunity to equip the main 4th Army
As for the 155 mm cannon, 24 of them were obtained from the participating armies of the Anhui Clan in the early days and were placed in the Northeast to guard against ghosts.The son was gone, but he never took it out to use. Therefore, this kind of artillery was unheard of in the Chinese Army that was later formed. It was far more powerful than all Chinese field artillery at the time, including the most powerful German-made 105mm heavy howitzer.
Because Captain Meg, the captain of the "Cardiff", had such firepower, he felt confident that this was still an era when British warships could roam freely in China's rivers and bombard Nanjing and Wanxian.
Suddenly, the artillery array of the 5th company on the north bank of the river emitted a series of gunfire sounds, as if they were connected to each other. This sound infected the companions next to them, and the same whistling sound was emitted. In an instant, dozens of artillery shells shot towards the British ship like arrows. One shell hit the front turret of the "Gardev" impartially, and the other shot directly aimed at the command tower. Captain Meg was killed on the spot, dyeing the white navy uniform as bright as the red sun.
Urgent investigation, the gunner of the 5th company replied: Because the distance was too close, he heard the sound of the British ship's anchor chain, and thought it was the British army firing, so he urgently fired back!
Partner's reply: Because my friend fired back, he thought the British ship was firing, so he accompanied him!
In short, this was a misjudgment, but the responsibility undoubtedly belongs to the British army. Who told them not to listen to the warning?
Of course, now is not the time to hold people accountable. Will the British warships just give up? Just as the People's Army was concentrating on preparing for the second round of shelling and preparing for the revenge of the British army, a sharp-eyed observer suddenly looked at a white thing rising in the river in surprise and asked: "What is that?"
What is it? It's the white shirt of the British warship rising! The British panicked and hung up their white shirts as white flags!
Zhang Zizhong’s eyes became wet after receiving the news and confirming it himself: The arrogant British imperialism raised the white flag to itself like this? This is the first time since the Opium War began! It's worth dying to pieces for this moment!
The reporter accompanying the army was quick and the scene was frozen. This news was quickly printed on the free headlines urgently published by major newspapers in Shanghai, which made the grieving Shanghai citizens wipe away their tears, made the Chinese people stand up taller, and allowed the world to witness China's glorious moment!

Awed by the heavily armed vigilance of the People's Army and hearing the news of the People's Army shelling British ships, the British Marines who had landed at Wusongkou did not dare to make any radical moves and quietly returned to their original place without taking away a single leaf.
The British Empire, which had lost all face, felt that it had to make some gesture to restore its dignity. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin stated in the House of Commons that he would "send a powerful British fleet into the Huangpu River"!
On the same day, the British Minister in China was ordered to lodge a diplomatic protest with the Beijing government, demanding that the Chinese government: "Order the Shanghai garrison to withdraw from the north of the Suzhou River, severely punish the "illegal" soldiers and army commander Zhang Zizhong, apologize to the British, and compensate for the losses. , stop the strike and let workers resume work."
When the incident reached Beijing, the top leaders of the People's Party were divided. But Zhang Hanqing was extremely angry and expressed that he wanted to seek justice from the people of the country. He directed the Foreign Office to similarly protest to the British Minister:
"The garrison in Shanghai is a manifestation of national sovereignty and independence and cannot be discussed. The British patrol house shot our innocent citizens first, and then shot our senior officers of the security garrison. This was a provocation by the British, and all the responsibilities must be held by the British. The officers and soldiers of the People's Republic of China Having the responsibility to protect the land is an unavoidable responsibility;
"In order to avoid creating greater conflicts, the British army will immediately stop shelling and all provocative actions. Otherwise, the Chinese army will defend itself in accordance with the law and ensure the safety of the people." If it leads to a bigger incident, the responsibility belongs to the British side, and the aftermath needs to be dealt with by the British. China, Britain and the United States will immediately conduct negotiations. After the "May 30th Massacre" has punished those responsible in accordance with the law, they will then negotiate for the resumption of the market and work! "
These conditions were drawn up by Zhang Hanqing overnight. He also had full conversations with Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuoxiang and other leaders, and formulated the policy of "fighting for peace through war."
Judging from his grasp of this period of history, Britain, which was the world's financial center and world hegemon after the First World War, although its territory increased after the war, its control over the territory was hampered by the huge casualties and losses of the war. Material losses were greatly reduced, and its economy was also greatly affected by the war and suffered a severe recession. Since then, its status as the world's financial center has been ceded to the United States.
This war also weakened France, Italy, and Germany, making the United States the world's largest economic power, and the world's financial center also moved from London to New York. All the arrogance of Britain is just to maintain the face of the empire on which the sun never sets. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is fierce in appearance and soft in heart.
In addition to maintaining its huge colonies, Britain also needs to control the vital Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, as well as control France and the rising Germany in Europe. It is simply impossible for Britain to cross the oceans and engage in a large-scale war with China that will harm the country. Moreover, although the People's Army's maritime power is less than a fraction of that of Britain, it has a huge army.
Relying on the depth of China’s vast territory, there is no force in China that threatens the status of the People’s Party. What's more valuable is that the People's Party and the People's Army already have the most powerful supporting force, which is public opinion.
From the moment the bullets of the People's Army came out of the barrel, the Chinese people's emotions were filled with a strong sense of national pride. Zhang Hanqing believes that the British dare not risk a sharp decline in strength to engage in a potentially endless, lose-lose war with China. Even if a war breaks out, Zhang Hanqing believes that the British will not get any benefits from the fully armed People's Army.
However, in order to ensure that China could maintain a longer period of economic recovery, Zhang Hanqing still invited the American minister to mediate and entrusted various parties to lobby the British and American forces in China to prevent the possible expansion of the war.
Of course, the government has also made two preparations. The Central China Military Region and the Northwest Military Region mobilized two divisions from the Longhai Line overnight. In addition, the People's Army across East China has entered a state of combat readiness. In order to control the possible threat from British warships and intimidate Shanghai citizens, Zhang Hanqing specially transferred a heavy artillery regiment from Beijing to guard the Shanghai beach via the Jinpu line.
On the scene, the Republic of China government did not show any nervousness at all. "People's Party Daily" published the full text of the notice on the incident from the Party Central Committee, the State Council, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on its front page the next day:
"In view of the seriousness of this case and the grief and indignation of the people, the Chinese government believes that the concession officials must at least take the initiative to lift the local martial law, withdraw the marines, disarm the business groups and patrols, and release the arrested people And restore the closed and occupied schools to their original status, so that the ordinary Shanghai area can naturally stop the abnormal situation in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, the government must urgently take all possible countermeasures to protect the lives and safety of our people and the country. dignity!"
The "People's Army Daily", which was published less than a year ago, also issued a sonorous oath: "We do not want war, but we are not afraid of war. As long as the party and government say a word, as long as the people need it, we will move forward bravely, even if we die. No regrets!”
This day is Children’s Day,sp; However, Zhang Hanqing did not forget the instigator of the incident, and ordered the Shanghai Provincial Government to send high-level government officials represented by Hu Hanmin to negotiate with the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai. The bottom line of the negotiations was to "hand over the murderer, compensate for the losses, and the Japanese consulate The factory and the workers entered into six terms and three appendices, including compensation of 100,000 yuan for workers’ losses, 1 million yuan for strike losses, Japanese workers not allowed to bring weapons into the factory, workers not to be fired without reason, wages to be raised, etc.”
Of course, the Japanese government will not be stepped on by the Chinese, who are known as the "sick man of East Asia." Instead, they sternly stated that "the Japanese Concession in Shanghai is Japan's inviolable sphere of influence. The Chinese government must soberly evaluate its relationship with Britain and Japan." Enemy's influence'!"
The United Kingdom also issued a statement that it would never let go of the attack on the British Marine Corps in the British Concession. Churchill, who served as the Lord of the Admiralty, even clamored in the House of Commons to "send a British fleet to teach the arrogance of unknown magnitude" The government of the Republic of China.

Chapter 718 Determination
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
After this news was published in the newspapers, it aroused great concern in Beijing. Many old Feng Feng cabinet members were worried that fighting against the two major powers, Britain and Japan, at the same time would be detrimental to the new People's Party regime. Many hawks who were tough on the May 30th Massacre looked at the overall situation and suggested compromise, including Sun Liechen, Guo Songling, Han Linchun, Pan Fu, etc. from the "Prince Family".
On the contrary, Zhang Hanqing, who is the core of the hawks, is extremely calm. He said that the Chinese government should use this incident to show its strength to encourage people's hearts and unite the people, and further block the great powers' desire to covet China. As for whether this will lead to a large-scale war with Britain and Japan? He clearly stated that "I won't, and I'm not afraid", based on the intervention of the United States and China's own wealth.
At this time, the Anglo-Japanese alliance had automatically expired on the date of the conclusion of the Treaty of Washington. Burying the Anglo-Japanese alliance with the so-called Four-Nation Alliance is also the most proud thing of the United States. Because the United States no longer worries about fighting on two fronts, Japan has lost the protection of the Anglo-Japanese alliance and can only rely on its own strength to deal with the United States in the East.
The entire Washington system, including the Quadruple Alliance and the Five-Nation Naval Convention. These two major treaties formally established the hegemony of the United States after World War I, and the United States dominated the Western Hemisphere. And gained strategic advantages over Britain and Japan, the two major maritime powers.
The United States’ military strength in Asia is already weak, so it hopes to use the “open door” policy to maintain its influence in Asia, especially China, and to oppose the ambition of any party (especially Japan) to dominate China. In the two or three years after the Four-Nation Treaty was appraised, as Sino-US relations steadily improved, it was obvious that Japan's power had been suppressed, and the US government and opposition parties hoped that this status quo would continue.
“If friction between China and the UK really occurs because of this, or if Britain and Japan join forces to fight against China, no matter whether they win or lose, it will definitely weaken the cornerstone of the US-UK alliance and offset Japan’s expansion of power in Asia by supporting China.
“Sure enough, seeing that this incident may lead to the British-Japanese alliance against China and the possibility of the British-Japanese alliance being resurrected, we certainly cannot show it lightly. U.S. Secretary of State Frank Kellogg issued a statement calling on Britain and Japan to exercise restraint, and expressed that the United States was willing to serve as a mediator among the three parties to calm the incident.
Zhang Hanqing himself was confident: the reduction of the weak brigade divisions did not reduce the combat effectiveness of the People's Army. On the contrary, it purified the team and made the troops more united. Of course, the more critical thing is that the artillery regiments of each army and division that embody the firepower are not only retained in their original structure, but also continue to grow stronger, although there are still a small number of artillery regiments that only equip a battalion or a company for preliminary training.
By the end of last year, the People's Army had a total of 54 mountain artillery regiments and 57 howitzer regiments. Because of sufficient industrial support and the Soviet Union's excess production lines, there is no problem in doubling output to 4,000 units this year. This is Zhang Hanqing's consideration of the international situation and the fact that the People's Army will soon replenish all artillery regiments, in order to save limited military expenditures and divert them to National economic construction has only compressed production capacity.
Even with such a conservative estimate, at most the 144 artillery regiments of the 36 armies will be fully equipped with artillery by the middle of this month. By then, the older mountain artillery will be cleaned up and replaced. In the first four months, 24 artillery regiments have been established.
In addition, the 105mm heavy artillery (of course compared to Europe and the United States, cannons of this caliber can only be considered lightweight) has also planned an annual production scale of 600 guns, which is militarily confident.
In addition, the Yangtze River Fleet was also ordered to assemble in Jiangyin, and the Marine Corps under its command also began to enter Wusongkou. Together with the five armies of the nearby Nanjing Military Region, where would they come from?
Since this is the first time that Zhang Zuolin's government is negotiating with a foreign country and facing three powers at once, Zhang Zuolin is preparing to send a delegation headed by Prime Minister Wang Yongjiang. Zhang Hanqing took the initiative to ask for help and took this opportunity to coordinate the national defense construction in the southeast.
Therefore, a higher-level "May 30 Massacre Relief Delegation" headed by Zhang Hanqing, Chairman of the People's Party, Vice President of the State, and First Vice Chairman of the People's Party Military Commission, left Beijing grandly, and the special train went directly to Shanghai along the Jinpu Line.
In the morning, when the dashing Zhang Hanqing, accompanied by Foreign Minister Gu Weijun, first appeared at Shanghai North Railway Station, he was stunned by the grand welcome received by people from all walks of life in Shanghai. At that time, there were more than 100,000 people in the crowd, vying to catch a glimpse of this young marshal. Compared with modern star-chasers, they were no less impressive!
Zhang Hanqing managed over a hundred people in the company in his previous life, and coupled with the training of his military career in the past few years, stage fright is gone. Dressed in a general's uniform, he is majestic, majestic, and dignified—one of the four young masters of the Republic of China, and his reputation as a "beautiful man" is not in vain.
In an accidental glance, he saw a young woman wearing a red cheongsam hurriedly flashing through the crowd. With his eye for catching beautiful women, he could immediately conclude that this must be a very elegant beauty.
?During the nine years he traveled from Shenyang to Beijing, he also met many beauties: Yu Fengzhi, Huang Wanqing, Gu Ruiyu, Yu Yifan, Liang Qingzhu These are all beauties of the same color, but they are by no means too many; "Ping Not to mention Huang Ruqing and Hong Mudan from "Shui Yi Feng", let alone the unattractive "Company Commander", I also know a lot of beauties, big and small, but there are not many women with such temperament—— Even if it's just a glimpse.
The "New People's Agrarian Reform", the Southern and Northern War, the Zhili-Fengzhi War, the Qing and Jin Dynasties' elimination of Feng, and the pacification of the southwest, all kinds of military events, national economic revitalization, and political changes have been happening all the time. His pursuit of beauty can only be carried out in moments of uncertainty. If you do it occasionally, how can you do things calmly and leisurely?
He envied the brothers in the time-travel stories. Why was it written in the book that they were all beauties, hugging each other, and enjoying all the blessings of others, but he was the only one who had to worry about state affairs every day?
He had no time to think, and Zhang Hanqing gave an impromptu speech on the platform. He said loudly: "I, Zhang Xueliang, have always concentrated on politics, and I am also a soldier. However, diplomacy is not my specialty. However, I came to Shanghai this time to mediate the conflict between the two parties and maintain order. It is the bounden duty of a soldier.
The Chinese nation has suffered enough bullying. From the moment the cannons fired on the Huangpu River, this page should have passed! Shanghai is the forefront of the competition between all parties, but it is still China's territory, and the government of the Republic of China must manage it!
The army I lead must set a precedent in Shanghai for soldiers to maintain local security. If anyone dares to violate military discipline, I must enforce military law! On the issue of dealing with Britain and Japan, I must give justice to the people who died! The government of the Republic of China was not the government of the late Qing Dynasty, and I, Zhang Xueliang, would never be like Li Hongzhang! "
In this atmosphere, it would not be Zhang Hanqing if he did not work hard to gain some popularity for himself. Will China, Britain and Japan be at war with each other? He made a good estimate. No matter what, even if he is about to lose the battle, he cannot lose to others. This is his bottom line. With this kind of determination, no matter how big the trouble is, there is no need to be afraid.
His speech won warm applause. Unintentionally, he found that the young woman with black hair and a red cheongsam was also applauding him desperately in the crowd. He felt her warm eyes filled with heartfelt admiration! When he saw it, his heart moved slightly.
At that time, Zhang Hanqing was in his prime. No matter in places like Shenyang in the Northeast or Pingjin, even though he knew he was no longer a diamond king, there were still countless young girls around him desperately pursuing him. However, among the many suitors of the opposite sex, the ones that really moved his heart were very few. Otherwise, after breaking through the initial overflow of lust, the ones who could stay with him for several consecutive years would not be just one wife and three concubines!
Under the continuous tough counterattacks of the People's Army and the People's Party, especially the uncompromising hostility faced by the young marshal personally sitting on the beach in the town, the British and Japanese governments felt the pressure. However, due to the former reputation of the British Empire and the face of Japan, an international newcomer, they could not accept concessions.
??????????????????????? However, the young marshal dared to confront the Japanese when his strength was low. Now he has millions of troops, and his confidence is not lacking. Such a god came here personally to specify how to deal with this incident, making it clear that he did not want to have a way out. Because according to tradition, his status is seriously unequal to his negotiating opponents.
There will be back and forth in negotiations. If the person with a lower level loses, someone with a higher level can turn around. However, since he is at such a high level, the draft is basically finalized. The only person who can overturn his conclusion is theoretically the Central Committee but in practice it is impossible. This shows that he is well prepared and confident.
This is a formidable opponent!
The British Concession authorities had a guilty conscience and were very nervous about the young marshal's arrival: they not only strengthened security in the concession, but also set up artillery and machine guns at the crossing adjacent to the Chinese border, and armored vehicles patrolled back and forth.
The six-member committee of the diplomatic corps to deal with the Shanghai incident also wanted to probe Zhang Hanqing's story. The U.S. Consulate in Shanghai came forward, and consuls and committees from the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Italy and other countries came to pay homage to the young marshal on Gonghe Road.
Yes, greetings. They had done their homework, signed up their names one by one, and performed the ceremony of paying homage to the country's head of state.
After the greetings, the US Charge d’Affaires Meyer kindly invited Zhang Hanqing to attend a cocktail party organized by the US Consulate. He had the most dealings with Zhang and his son in Beijing, and was one of the foreign friends who had a good personal relationship with the young marshal. The reason why the United States initially agreed to sell destroyers and gunboats to China was related to his suggestion. The consular corps and committee also wanted to use his favor to establish a relationship with the young marshal.
However, Zhang Hanqing refused on the spot: "This time I am here to investigate the Shanghai case. The official business is complicated. I will not participate in any public or private banquets. This has been announced in the newspaper. I cannot accept the kindness of Mr. Meyer and your consul."
Meyer, who has deep negotiation skills, knows that if Zhang Hanqing is allowed to participate in this negotiation with such momentum, it is very likely to have very adverse consequences: as Zhang Hanqing, he cannot make any concessions; and from the British position, Even after so many people died and they lost so much face, they would not retreat at all.
Such negotiations are destined to fail, and the angry public opinion in China is very likely to be rekindled. If there is another conflict, it may not be suppressed by a few guns.
However, the Anglo-Japanese alliance that was finally resolved has reunited because of the "same hatred" with China. This will be a failure of the US policy in the Asia-Pacific.

Before arriving, Meyer had carefully studied the situation in China with the United States. According to his opinion, China has undergone earth-shaking changes. It will be very bad to look at China's problems from the old perspective.
Because China’s current military strength, especially on land, has definitely surpassed Japan. According to what the American military attache in China saw personally: the configuration of the five armies in the garrison military region far exceeded the best configuration of the direct warlords he was familiar with before; especially the elite 27th Army, its firepower configuration is the strongest in Asia. Comparing Japan, the most powerful country in Asia.
And it is said that there are 5 such armies!
??The Chinese people have united together, even if it is the union of Britain and Japan. You can beat her, but you can't break her. Blockade, cannibalization, and attacks at various points can cause China to suffer heavy economic losses, but they will not be fatal. Because China does not dominate foreign trade to begin with, and the small-scale peasant economy still accounts for the vast majority.
As long as there are people there, she has a vast hinterland for detours, and currently lacks deep strike means, the Chinese army can receive supplies at any time.
"According to China's layout, without more than a million troops and without a continuous war of three to five years, it is impossible to defeat her!
But the war will bring disaster to the great powers: Gone are the days when Britain still wants to bring China to its knees with a few gunboats like during the Opium War. Didn’t we see the artillery battle on the Huangpu River a few days ago? A war thousands of miles away will definitely wear down Britain!
Japan can’t afford it either. And being cunning by nature, they must be planning to take advantage of the Sino-British war to bring down the British maritime power in Asia and then take over. The Japanese are not that stupid, now is not the time for them to fight.
The United States will be the loser. Its interests in China and many years of operations will be completely lost in this big battle. Because if there is a war, the Chinese will definitely beat the concession to pieces first, turning the United States' "open door" into a "war at the door." Then the Anglo-Japanese Alliance and Japan took the opportunity to expand their maritime power due to the war, threatening the United States' position in the Asia-Pacific, and the "Washington Treaty" was easily broken.
So we must quell this commotion no matter what, and we must put the young commander in place first no matter what. Through private heart-to-heart talks, he grasped the young commander's bottom line and finally negotiated a good ending. In a relaxed environment, maybe the young Chinese leaders can be less aggressive?
Meyer said eloquently that he wanted to clean up the young marshal who was tired of his career, and said: we will not discuss official matters, only personal relationships.
This face needs to be given, and Zhang Hanqing also wants to use him to calm down the incident as soon as possible. Just now, I was just showing off, putting on some airs, and adding some dignity to future negotiations.
In the evening, there was a heavy rain on the Huangpu River, washing away the blood and violence of the previous few days. At the cocktail party held at the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai, it was a dazzling scene. It seems that in the American world, no matter what happens outside, as long as their own interests are not involved, they will always have a calm attitude.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.
It was night, and the three-story building of the U.S. Consulate was crowded with distinguished guests, including women and their families. The heavy rain outside did not dilute the joyful atmosphere in the hall. In the midst of the feasting and feasting, Zhang Hanqing suddenly noticed a beautiful young woman wearing a tight-fitting pink cheongsam, flashing past among the Chinese and foreign VIPs, and she seemed familiar.
Although most of the women who came to the meeting were beautiful, what made Zhang Hanqing's eyes shine was the elegant woman.
"The cheongsam is really a great invention. As a nation on horseback, women cut a slit in their straight skirts to easily separate their legs in order to facilitate riding. This is similar to the British cavalry who created tuxedos in the early 18th century. It moves and swings, and the woman's graceful figure is looming, which is extremely impactful.
Shanghai girls are always the pioneers, and their attempts have made such fashionable things popular this year. Four years later, the government of the Republic of China prescribed it as a formal dress. Under the flickering lights, her fair thighs were exposed from time to time. If Zhang Hanqing hadn't been warning him about what he was doing, he would have been unable to help but show off.
Unexpectedly, the handsome girl who had appeared at the gathering of people from all walks of life during the day would actually come to the banquet hall of the heavily guarded U.S. Consulate. Zhang Hanqing knew that tonight's cocktail party was very different from the daytime gathering. The female guests who could come here to attend the cocktail party were either the family members of Shanghai's celebrities and dignitaries, or the wives or ladies of foreign envoys. And who was that elegant girl? also?
"Young Marshal, do you really not know Miss Song?" Zhang Hanqing's eyes had quietly moved towards the lady who had turned to the side seat in the shadow of the glass of wine.??The woman's back. Although his movements are small and cautious, passionate and reserved, he is like a beautiful woman wearing sunglasses admiring the corners of her eyes. All this was still clearly seen by Hu Hanmin, who was sitting next to him.
Hu Hanmin once served as Foreign Minister in the Guangzhou National Government and is currently the Vice Governor of Shanghai. As the leader of the right wing of the Kuomintang, he is an important united front target of the People's Party. Now, the leftist Liao Zhongkai presides over the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, and Hu Hanmin occupies Shanghai, an important economic source of the Kuomintang. It is a policy imposed by Zhang Hanqing to jointly attack another giant Wang Jingwei.
Hu Hanmin also needs to rely on the power of the People's Party to develop himself, so he cannot help but silently follow the footsteps of the People's Party in some matters. This May 30th tragedy, various decisions of the central government, especially the young marshal's personal visit to Shanghai, he was determined to take the lead.
He noticed that Zhang Hanqing was looking at the woman sitting next to him with an "inquiring" look, so he understood and took the initiative to introduce: "She is the third lady of the Song family who is well-known in Shanghai! Not only is she beautiful, she also studied in the United States with a bachelor's degree in literature. She speaks English well." Quite fluent!”
"The third young lady of the Song family?" Zhang Hanqing woke up from a dream and seemed to be frightened. Hey, the future Mrs. Chiang Kai-shek, the "Song" of the four great families of Chiang Kai-shek, Song Dynasty, Kong and Chen in the Republic of China! Who doesn’t know! He blurted out: "Oh, it's Mrs. Chiang!"
Hu Hanmin thought that he had just arrived in Shanghai and really didn't know Soong Meiling, so he said with a smile: "No one's wife, Miss Soong Meiling is still in the boudoir! By the way, I forgot, you must know her." Her sister, right?"
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????… Fortunately, he has encountered similar preconception mistakes many times, and his response is still very fast. Zhang Hanqing immediately pretended to be confused and shook his head: "Who is her sister and how do I know her?"
"Her sister is Mrs. Sun, Ms. Soong Ching Ling!" Hu Hanmin discovered that Zhang Hanqing "knew nothing" about Soong Meiling, and quickly said: "This is Mr. Zhongshan's wife and sister, Han Qing, you are blind to Mount Tai!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

"Ah, no wonder I seem to have seen her somewhere!" Zhang Hanqing said suddenly.
Having been in contact with Sun Yat-sen for so long, Mrs. Sun is naturally familiar with it. She is the mother of the country, and she was the person Zhang Hanqing respected before time travel. They are all people of noble integrity, so naturally she would not think that way. Looking back now, I think she is exactly the same as Mrs. Sun, and because she is young, she has a good impression of her.
Unexpectedly, I met Soong Ching Ling's sister in Shanghai. Of course, the "hospitable" Zhang Hanqing would not miss the opportunity to get to know Soong Meiling. He quickly stood up, holding a goblet filled with red wine, accompanied by Hu Hanmin, came to the next table next to Song Meiling, and toasted cheerfully:
"It turns out that she is Mr. Zhongshan's sister-in-law, Miss Song. In fact, we have been acquaintances for a long time. When Mr. Zhongshan was in Tianjin, I often went to say hello. Later we became colleagues, and we talked about everything with my respected sister, Mrs. Sun. Good friends, my wife Yu Fengzhi and Mrs. Sun have been friends for a long time. I didn't expect to see Mrs. Sun's sister here today. Hanqing is really lucky. If Miss Song doesn't dislike it, please meet me, Zhang Hanqing. Three drinks?”
"Thank you, Marshal, for your kindness."
Song Meiling, who had been quietly watching Zhang Hanqing at her seat just now, stood up gracefully, with a bit of shyness on her moon-like face. Her heart was beating wildly, because in Song Meiling's eyes, Zhang Hanqing, who suddenly appeared in front of her, was a well-known figure in the People's Army in the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Great Wall in China at that time. It is no exaggeration to say that he was the founder.
Especially before Zhang Hanqing came to Shanghai to mediate the conflict between China and Britain, she had already noticed in the newspaper the movements of Zhang Hanqing, who was designing the national political and military framework at the central government. The first time she had a good impression of Zhang Hanqing was when Zhang Hanqing published a "Message to Shanghai May 30 Patriotic Students" in Beijing the day after the "May 30 Massacre" in Shanghai.
Soong Meiling still remembers Zhang Hanqing's passionate telegram: "The newspaper reported that Shanghai students were shot by British patrolmen for assisting unemployed workers, and many were killed and injured. After reading it, I felt sad. It hurts our students." , was devastated. Where is the way of heaven in this vast country? Such is the situation in a country that is weak. All our people should know how to work hard. As a human being, I would like to donate 20,000 yuan with my honest salary. Today, by Remit it to the Bank of China to comfort the dead and injured. It’s hard to reach far away under the cold light of candlelight, so I’m just trying my best.”
Since then, Song Meiling, who studied in the United States in her early years, had a good impression of Zhang Hanqing from the bottom of her heart. Sun Yixian's sister-in-law at least believed that there was a fundamental difference between Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang. She always believed that Zhang Zuolin was a great warlord and Zhang Xueliang was a patriot.
Of course, the salary income cannot be too much, otherwise it will not be consistent with the clean image of the People's Party. Unlike in the workplace, the income of general managers and front-line employees can reach a hundred times. CEOs of large Western companies have even broken records by a thousand times (Ge Welch). The government cannot do this, otherwise how can it be considered serving the people? The salary designed by Zhang Hanqing for civil servants as high as him is only about ten times that of the lowest-level civil servants.
Of course, it does not include other benefits such as entourage, security, transportation, housing, medical care, etc., but generally speaking, he is a very honest official, if you do not consider his secret identity as the largest shareholder of the Central Bank.
But this does not mean that Zhang Hanqing has spent less money. He and Yu Fengzhi privately donated more than 100,000 yuan, which was allocated to Shanghai through Xiong Xiling's Ministry of Civil Affairs, and used by the Shanghai local government to save lives and heal the wounded. He has a clear conscience on this matter. So he can face Soong Meiling or anyone else with ease - his actual salary has been donated quite a lot.
Song Meiling’s good impression of the young marshal came from his donation to support injured students. At this moment, she saw that Marshal Zhang Hanqing took the initiative to come to her and propose a toast, regardless of his status as a special general (actual professor). Her heart felt warm, and for some reason, a faint blush appeared on her fair and beautiful face.
But after all, she came from a famous family, and she was Soong Ching Ling's sister, so she behaved appropriately and responded gracefully: "However, I don't dare to have a drink with the young marshal. I don't dare to drink three glasses in a row, like Young Master Meng." If Shuai agrees, Meiling will simply drink this glass of wine with you as a show of respect, how about that?"
Zhang Hanqing found that the Song Meiling standing in front of him was not only beautiful, but also elegant and graceful. Her calm response showed the charming charm of an intelligent woman. Especially her pair of faint eyes made his heart shudder after looking at them.
The three sisters of the Song family are really worth it: the eldest, Soong Ailing, has become a family with Kong Xiang, the richest man in Shanxi, and can be said to be a wise judge of people; his most familiar second sister, Soong Qingling, has been by Sun Yixian's side for a long time, is calm and thoughtful, has her own style, and has become the "mother of the country"; Although Song Meiling is still young, her calm demeanor in the scene makes her impeccable. Not to mention, in the official history, Chiang Kai-shek is really unique in his love for her.?
In the dark rainy night, they expressed their admiration for each other under the shadow of the lamp.
It was also this time in official history that created a half-life relationship between the two. Just as the real young marshal himself said: Because of the friendship between the two, Chiang Kai-shek was able to return unscathed during the "Xi'an Incident"; and because of the friendship between the two, Zhang Xueliang was able to live in confinement for half his life without fear of his life.
But in this life, when Zhang Hanqing has changed the original pace of historical development, and when Chiang Kai-shek, who has lost power, can no longer satisfy the Song family's thirst for power, can this Platonic spiritual love still be as pure as what is circulated in official history?
Whether the two can renew their relationship cannot be verified in this book. However, two days later, Soong Meiling was invited by him to serve as Zhang Hanqing's temporary English secretary and worked to solve the May 30th Incident. This was another heroine of the Soong family in the political world after Soong Qingling. performance. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 721 Tit for tat

The difficult negotiations have just begun
In fact, this is much better than the official history. At least, there are now the same heavy casualties of the British. Otherwise, they will have to wait at least 10 more days before they will establish a negotiating framework for their countries and each other through their respective ministers.
Due to the arrogant and non-responsive attitude of both Britain and Japan, at the tripartite talks held the day after Zhang Hanqing came to Shanghai, the Chinese side proposed: "In view of the huge casualties suffered by British soldiers in this murder, the Chinese government must China will apologize and compensate for the losses; the Chinese troops will withdraw from Shanghai; and the captured British Inspector General Maigo Wan and the arresting officer Efusen will be released. Otherwise, China will be responsible for all the consequences that occur!"
They are the total reflection of Zhang Hanqing’s proposal. Good guys, if such a big thing happened, they still treat it as if nothing happened. They also want the Chinese government to apologize and compensate them for their losses. What do you mean by asking for high prices and sitting on the ground to pay back the money? Is this what China wants by sending a large-scale delegation with Prince Zhang Hanqing in charge?
Just when the members of the Chinese delegation were about to refute one by one, Zhang Hanqing slammed the table: "Gentlemen! You are not here to negotiate, but to declare war! If you want to win China in this way and on these conditions, If you want the people’s understanding, please go back and send your warships over again! I know you have this tradition!”
The Chinese were silent. Zhang Hanqing's statement has exceeded their responsibilities and authority. Only a sweet-tempered person like the Young Marshal could be so willing to ignore all the so-called rules, conventions and tacit understandings, right?
This statement was also beyond the authority of the British and Japanese delegations, and they did not dare to speak up. Everyone knows the consequences of walking away.
U.S. Charge d'Affaires Meyer came to be the peacemaker: "Mr. Marshal, please calm down first! Even if the result of the negotiation is not ideal, it will not reach this point. Since everyone is here to talk, naturally they want to resolve this matter peacefully. "He was the one among the six-member delegation who least wanted the talks to break down.
Zhang Hanqing was still angry: "Mr. Charge d'affaires, there are silent Chinese citizens outside waiting for the result. Under our advice, they did not choose to respond to violence with violence, but fully expected the government to come forward and recover compensation for the victims. justice.
If you don’t break out in silence, you will die in silence! If there is no progress in today's negotiations, or it cannot bring considerable relief to the current situation, our delegation will have failed the people's expectations and will never redeem itself! I can let them talk, but if the British continue to have this attitude, I will have to announce our own plan! "
This is the first time I heard that the Chinese government has another plan? Meyer expressed his anticipation.
Zhang Hanqing walked to the center of the room and said word by word: "The Supreme Court of China appointed the Shanghai High Court to try the two culprits"
"No!" This was the voice of opposition from Qi Duyou, head of the six-member committee and French minister-counselor. If the Chinese were allowed to try the British, it would essentially undermine the principle of public trials. Once this trend started, it would have a huge impact on all parties.
"This is not something you agree or disagree with, but a question to ask whether the 450 million Chinese compatriots agree or not! Of course we will also try this case openly, fairly and fairly. The location has also been selected, it is in the French Concession The south side is close to Shanghai County. If members are worried about the trial, I would be happy to invite you to come and watch."
The two main culprits, Chief Inspector Mai Gaoyun and Chief Catcher Aifusheng, have fallen into the hands of the Chinese side. This is a big card. If the British attitude does not soften, Zhang Hanqing will definitely take them to the concession for public trial. I will throw away your people. If you have the guts, come and rob them!
Looking at the livid face of the British representative, Meyer had the urge to laugh. As the U.S. Charge d'Affaires in China, it was impossible for him not to study Zhang Hanqing and understand his development trajectory quite well. As a leading figure in the Feng Dynasty who has absolute influence on China's political situation, how could he not pay attention to his every move? His teasing comes from his self-confidence, and with the character of the young commander, he really dares to do this!
?????????????????????????????????? And if this is really what it takes, it would be better if Britain does not declare war. But can this scare this experienced young marshal? I'm afraid not.
He felt that it would be unwise for the British to add fuel to the fire at this time. You can only beat Chinese people to death, but you won’t show mercy when your own people are beaten to death. Isn’t this a typical emphasis on logic? Of course Meyer doesn't think so. He just thinks that we should sit down and talk and resolve the matter. It’s really fermented and it’s not good for everyone.
The ministers of France, Italy and the Netherlands reached an agreement behind the scenes and agreed to focus on easing the situation. So after a round of quarrels, the two sides came to the negotiating table again. This is not to directly address the issue, but to define the content of the negotiation.
Qi Guidu, head of the committee, said: “What this group can discuss is ways to alleviate the current situation.Release methods of detained Chinese workers, investigation of causes and compensation for corresponding losses. Other major issues, such as the joint trial of the ministers, etc., must be discussed with the delegation of ministers. "
Zhang Hanqing said angrily: "These are all ways to alleviate the current situation, rather than separating the issue of the detention of Chinese workers and the investigation of the reasons! The interrogation of the public house is the main reason for this incident, and you have no right to intervene. , there is no need to negotiate!”
Qi Dudu was choked back and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Marshal, we are here to negotiate, not to quarrel - quarrels will not help solve any problems!"
Zhang Hanqing said sternly: "That's right! Arguing can't solve any problem. The only thing that can solve this problem is to use armed force to rescue my illegally imprisoned citizens! You keep saying that you want to ease the situation, but so far there has been nothing that can make the situation easier. Measures that can be taken to calm it down are just adding fuel to the fire and constantly challenging my bottom line!"
He looked at them and said quietly: "Every word you said here will be reported to the outside world in full. Since we have been elected or designated to undertake the work of negotiation, we must have the courage to take responsibility to the outside world! Today's The negotiation ends here, and I hope that tomorrow, we will have someone with whom we can make a decision!"
Seeing the Chinese delegation filing out, Qi Bidu was furious. Less than ten minutes after it started, the Chinese themselves left the stage. They said they were not qualified enough and seemed ready to shift the responsibility for the breakdown of negotiations to their own side.
Of course!
??????????????????How can the few penholders selected by the People's Party be vegetarians? In less than an hour, a eloquent and powerful press release was released. According to previous decisions, these manuscripts will be used by the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the central government to set the tone for external speeches.
The first negotiation broke down quickly, causing already tense nerves in all walks of life to suddenly become tense. Under Zhang Hanqing's instruction, the People's Party's pen deliberately highlighted the committee's domineering, passive, and indifferent attitude, believing that only with "a more ferocious fighting spirit and a more fearless attitude" than they could wake them up. To this end, it was recommended that the country call on the people to do Preparation for the final sacrifice! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 722 Sharp Conflict
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
For this reason, Zhang Hanqing ordered the Marine Brigade of the Yangtze River Fleet to station in Caojiadu "to welcome the final sacrifice." Of course, "never make the final sacrifice" until the last moment. The delegation headed by the young marshal is determined to "make every effort even if there is only one ten thousandth chance."
Caojiadu is the junction of the public concessions. Stationing troops here is directly pointing their guns at the foreheads of the concessions. It seems that the young marshal himself feels that there is nothing he can do and is preparing for the last fight.
Instead of using an army force that is good at attacking tough targets and using a marine force that is nominally newer (in China), this means: Once the war breaks out, I will make it impossible for you to even go to the sea Of course, these actions all involve resorting to outside world.
The excitement in Shanghai put the U.S. Consul General in a difficult position. Once again, if the Chinese official comes up with such a bold and irritating thing, with a little spark, it can really start a fight. I don’t know whether that Chinese young marshal is really stupid or fake. Do you really want everyone to die together?
“The originally arrogant Asians and Westerners suddenly disappeared on the beach in Shanghai. They all hid in the concession, closed the doors and windows, and hoped that one day the Chinese soldiers would not rush into the concession. No matter how powerful your country is and how many soldiers it can recruit during wartime, they will be the first to die!
With the thousands of military and policemen in the concession, there is no hope!
The turmoil in Shanghai caused many concerns. The mission in Beijing tried to ease the hostile atmosphere in Shanghai. Through the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it stated that it would negotiate with the country as soon as possible and expand the powers of the committee. At the same time, it reminded that "the Chinese government must take on the responsibilities in Shanghai and The great responsibility of maintaining order in Beijing and the whole country."
But the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly replied: "The young commander in Shanghai can fully represent the Chinese government's attitude towards this incident" and kicked the ball back.
As for the reason why the first round of negotiations broke down, foreign parties agreed that it was due to excessive political sentiment in Shanghai.
The British Embassy said this when reporting the progress to its Ministry of Foreign Affairs: "The incident aroused so much political and racial resentment that any hope of an immediate resolution had to be abandoned. The Chinese negotiators, especially Zhang Hanqing, China's number one political leader, were completely overwhelmed. This kind of emotional infection and overconfidence in its strength, and the desire to use force to solve the problem are often revealed, which is worrying."
The U.S. Charge d’Affaires Meyer also believes that Zhang Hanqing uses too much military thinking to conduct diplomatic work, “which will undoubtedly make people worry about the difficulties in dealing with China in the future.” He said in a telegram to China: "Even if you treat the Chinese government's attitude on this matter with the most sympathy, you cannot fully accept its conditions."
However, they still tried to ease the hostile atmosphere in Shanghai. The leading minister, Zhai Ludi of Italy, called the consular corps to ask whether the landing troops could be withdrawn in order to create a calm atmosphere for the work of the committee.
In this regard, the US consul said: "I would like to see the troops withdraw, but China must also take corresponding actions, such as prompting Shanghai banks, shops, etc. to resume business."
The Japanese consul believed: "China's second-largest leader, who has successfully instigated the Chinese people to a state of madness, wants to personally put out the fire before negotiations. It is impossible for the country to withdraw its troops. As far as the country is concerned, the time is not yet ripe for withdrawal."
British Foreign Secretary Chamberlain would never believe that the "sick man of East Asia" not long ago actually dared to declare war on the British Empire. When receiving the letter from the minister, he said contemptuously: "You dare to risk war with Britain and Japan at the same time to give us a military ultimatum. If you succeed, it will be a shame for the empire. We will start the risky trial." Beat him to death in the cradle!"
To this end, amidst thunderous applause, he issued an important statement on the situation in China in the House of Commons: "Like other relevant countries, we protect the lives and property safety of our subjects in China, and we will make the Chinese government treat British subjects Or be responsible for all wanton harm and damage to property. There is no doubt that there must be no weakness and no hesitation!”
At the end, he also said humorously: "Should we send two battleships over, or one?"
“If you thought he was a strong, uncompromising fighter, congratulations, you’re not going to get a failing grade in modern history. It was this Chamberlain, the British Prime Minister fourteen years later, who, together with the then French President Daladier, implemented his infamous "appeasement policy" in response to Hitler's rise in Europe, leaving the entire Europe under the iron heel of fascism. Britain and France themselves Also drink the bitter fruit you brewed.
His sarcasm earned laughter from the House of Commons. In a weak China, the navy is pitifully small. The 4,300-ton cruiser "Haiqi" ??is the only large ship China can get its hands on. It is an old warship purchased from Germany in 1898. 1?Battleships are enough to kill all China's surface ships in a head-to-head confrontation.
The contempt from the other side of the ocean had just made British Minister to China MacLean feel better, when he heard the powerful reply from the Chinese young marshal that he was extremely unwilling to hear: "Mr. Chamberlain is still looking at the problem with the thinking of the Opium War. It seems that With cannons and giant ships, they would be invincible. But he would not have thought that warships have no wheels and warships cannot wade across ponds!
His arrogance once again showed that the tragedy that happened a few days ago was intentional because he had no fear at all.
"When we are just angry about the British Empire's domineering attitude at the negotiation table, he will send warships to show intimidation. There is no need to cover up his hypocritical nature anymore!"
Think about the day after the tragedy, Mr. Barton, the British Consul General in Shanghai, a gentle gentleman, plausibly defended the British army's atrocities by saying, "It was not a reckless or barbaric act at all. The patrolmen tried their best, first persuading , followed by wielding batons to disperse the threatening crowd. Only when the patrol team at the gate of the arresting house was about to be overwhelmed and the arresting house and its armory were about to be occupied, the volley was fired The foreign patrolman spent an hour trying to stop the angry crowd. They were attacked and even knocked down, but He still refrained from using firearms and his courage, patience and good temper deserve high praise. ’
What a gentlemanly move! If the blood of China's injured citizens hadn't still been flowing there, and the bodies of those who were shot had not yet been buried in the ground, I would have been really moved!
No matter how you argue, you can’t hide the fact that British soldiers shot at unarmed Chinese civilians! Just like Mr. Chamberlain, after talking so much high-sounding nonsense, his true intention was revealed at the end.
Maybe you have strong ships and powerful artillery, and you have more than 20 million square kilometers of colonies in the world as a tool of domination. I can only tell you that the Chinese People's Party and the People's Army do not accept this! From the day the People's Party was founded, we have been willing to go through fire and water for the sake of national sovereignty and national independence.
I am not sure that we can defeat your navy, but I can say with certainty that we can drive all your Hong Kong subjects into the Pearl River to feed the fish within one day! We will also bulldoze your concessions in Tianjin, Guangzhou, Hankou, and Jiujiang! If you force us to do this. "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 723 Softening

I don’t know whether Zhang Hanqing’s words were lies, but when Sun Yat-sen’s reputation was so famous, Zhang Hanqing’s People’s Army artillery still dared to attack his warships at the Pearl River Estuary. The residents of Hong Kong at that time were shocked. Clearly.
This Chinese young marshal is a bit arrogant, but he has never told a lie. If he says a fight, there is a chance he will actually fight! As soon as the news came out, the Western and fake foreign devils in Hong Kong were like lost dogs, so frightened that they could not sleep for several days. The citizens of Hong Kong also discovered that in the following period, these foreign police officers and foreign officials were rare and friendly.
And when Zhang Hanqing’s majestic declaration was reprinted in various newspapers at home and abroad, the people felt relieved.
“For many years, only the People’s Party and the Young Marshal have been able to calmly face the powerful enemy and make such an unyielding roar! How many people held newspapers in their hands and shed tears! I believe that Zhang Hanqing's word "fight" will inspire countless Chinese people to take off all kinds of clothes and put on arms, and the national pride of the Chinese nation will be released for the first time.
In response to the British Foreign Office’s statement that added fuel to the fire, various countries have expressed their opinions, of course in private. The diplomatic corps in China, the consular corps in Shanghai, the committee, the governments and their respective ambassadors quickly exchanged views and discussed possible changes in the situation.
Meyer, the US charge d'affaires who has been worried about losing control, said this in a cable to Secretary of State Logue: "I see the current situation as extremely critical. The current movement and incitement are fundamentally nationalistic in nature, not xenophobic; We foreigners must make certain concessions to the Chinese before the unrest subsides. If we do not do this immediately, the future will be very worrying!"
Even the British Charge d'Affaires in China, Ballard, felt that it was very bad. In his message to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of his country, he also tended to express some goodwill to China rather than exerting pressure.
Because practice has proven that applying pressure will not only fail to achieve the desired results, but will also most likely lead to a step that the UK is not willing to take. He also criticized his colleagues in Shanghai and British officials from the Ministry of Industry and Industry:
"The Shanghai authorities themselves were not even aware after the shooting that their actions contributed to the crisis we are facing now. This reminds me that although it is not the basic cause of the unrest, it is still worth mentioning because it is fueling the situation between China and foreign countries. One of the factors that contributes to the climate of distrust and hostility between people…
“In my opinion, many Shanghai businessmen have not noticed the changes that are taking place in China. They have failed to detect and satisfy the Chinese people’s growing desire to participate in the concession government. Their stubborn persistence in rights and privileges that were rapidly becoming obsolete helps to explain the general attitudes toward foreigners of all classes and toward the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Industry in particular. "
The incoming new U.S. Minister to China, Ma Murray, suggested to Secretary of State Logue before departure: "We can cooperate with the British or Japanese generously, but we should not mix with them like a fool, causing us to share the burden of the Chinese people. Hatred for them.”
The attitudes of France, the Netherlands, and Italy are also very subtle. They can neither bear the damage to their interests in China caused by the possible war in Shanghai, nor are they willing to directly criticize the policies of their British partners. After all, we are all Europeans and there is no need to offend our neighbors for China. They are all willing to attach themselves to the United States and indirectly express their attitude.
Only Japan is extremely hopeful that Britain can make a lot of money from the conflict with China. They have decided to stop any remarks against China on this incident that may lead to direct involvement.
Although they are the initiators, they still hope that Britain will take the lead in arousing China's hatred and thus starting a war in East Asia so that it can have a chance to draw chestnuts from the fire - they have always been resentful of Britain abandoning the Anglo-Japanese alliance and embracing the United States. He was also dissatisfied with the various unfriendly and even hostile behaviors of the Feng clique towards Japan.
Let’s fight. It’s best to lose both sides. In this way, the benefits to the empire will be the greatest!
Therefore, Japanese Foreign Minister Shigehara repeatedly mentioned the need for all countries and all foreign authorities in China to maintain a united front when talking to British Minister Elliott in Japan. He said: "The Chinese are good at stirring up one country or group with another country or group. Group fighting. If the diplomatic corps openly disagrees with the Shanghai Ministry of Industry Bureau, or if the representatives of the three major powers of Britain, Japan, and the United States act separately from representatives of other countries, the Chinese people will be very proud and stubborn, believing that we are not united internally. Or there is no definite goal.”
His words were actually a reassurance for Britain and a vaccination against the possibility that the United States might ask Britain to make concessions, because various reports indicate that the Americans are ready to ask the British to make concessions.
Because China has obviously strengthened its relationship with the Soviet Union, it has requested to purchase a 155mm heavy cannon production line and hundreds of cannons from the Soviet Union.Inquiries were made to the Soviet Union through its ambassador to China. As we all know, the People's Army does not need this powerful but not urgent thing for the time being. The only possibility is that China is preparing for a war with Britain.
This kind of heavy artillery can be used as a fortress to be stationed in various important ports and rivers. Although it was slow, her thoughts were obvious.
After seeing Zhang Hanqing’s uncompromising stance, the four countries, the United States, France, the Netherlands, and Italy coordinated their positions and suggested that the United Kingdom take a step back from its tough stance to facilitate conditional negotiations between the two parties. They believe that under the current situation, it is meaningless to continue to detain striking workers. It will only intensify the boiling public opinion in China and make the outside world question the position of the mission.
“In addition, maintaining and withdrawing troops between the concession and the Chinese border is only symbolic. If there is a real fight, this small garrison will not be able to fulfill its responsibility to protect the concession. Instead of doing this, it is better to make a good deal to China and express its attitude of settling the matter.
You can sit down and talk about other matters slowly.
Of course, the United States will also push China to end the strike in the concession and stabilize the situation. This is Meyer's idea and represents the aspirations of several other countries. Meyer dared to bring it up because he got Zhang Hanqing's tacit approval.
On the surface, Zhang Hanqing is shouting about fighting and killing, but in fact, he knows better than anyone else that China does not allow a big war to be fought at this stage. It’s not that we don’t dare, but this battle will wipe out all the hard work that we have put in over the years. China will finally see a glimmer of strength and will be wiped out again because of this momentary momentum.
China's current modern industries are basically located along the coast: Tianjin, Qinhuangdao, Shanghai, Qingdao A war with the United Kingdom will of course be fought on land, so regardless of winning or losing, the coast will be wiped out.
Based on the relationship between the great powers and the United Kingdom, as long as there is a fight, it will definitely be one-sided with the United Kingdom. In this way, by absorbing advanced technology from abroad and blocking all trade channels, China will once again embark on the path of isolation. If it wins, Britain will not tolerate defeat and must continue its unrelenting situation; if it loses, it goes without saying.
“And this is exactly what Japan wants. From a strategic point of view, Japan has been China's long-lasting pain for hundreds of years. Between the long-term pain and the short-term pain, he chose the short-term pain. A small impatience will ruin the big plan.
But, can he pour cold water on the people’s heated emotions? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 724: A memorial ceremony
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
While the envoys were conducting repeated radio discussions day and night, Zhang Hanqing personally participated in the memorial ceremony for the victims of the May 30th Massacre.
June 13th is the 14-day commemoration of the deaths of the 17 deceased people. It is also the traditional Chinese day of mourning for the deceased. The Shanghai headquarters of the People’s Party, the Shanghai Provincial Government, and the Shanghai County Government jointly organized this memorial ceremony.
The memorial venue, which was solemn and solemn and based on traditional Chinese black and white, was crowded with people. All heavyweights from Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles, financial circles, and education circles were present.
The Kuomintang, the Chinese Workers' Party, the Zhigong Party, the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and other parties, as well as the governments of neighboring Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, also sent representatives. The central government sent officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs represented by Xiong Xiling to attend. On that day, more than 100 people attended the meeting in Shanghai. Two hundred thousand people came to the venue in person.
Among these people, you can clearly see Du Yuesheng standing there with a black gauze wristband and a serious face, his face silent and silent.
Countless military police in plainclothes are standing around inside and outside. This kind of occasion must not be destroyed by the British again. Moreover, when the young marshal is present, the security measures must be raised to the highest level.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, just when the seventeen compatriots who were killed tragically passed away, Zhang Hanqing, dressed in military uniform and armed with a short gun at his waist, entered the venue accompanied by a group of guards armed with live ammunition. He had a sad face, and together with the guards, he had a white flower pinned to the left pocket of his chest. People took the initiative to get out of the way and watched the savior hero in their hearts take a seat on the rostrum.
The process of negotiations with the British was reported to all citizens every day in newspapers. The arrogance of the British, the toughness of the young marshal, and the difficulty of the negotiations made the people who have been concerned about this case deeply proud that they have such a leader who is not afraid of power.
Without the young marshal, this tragedy and this type of tragedy can only end in sorrow in history, and Zhang Hanqing pointed out another way to them: use the toughness of the Chinese people to exchange for their own dignity.
On the stage, Zhang Hanqing looked at the big word "Dian". The white paper trembles in the wind, and the black characters gradually form vivid lives while jumping. "The misty rain is miserable and cold, and the famous flowers thousands of miles away are condensed with blood and tears; the voice and appearance are lonely, and the water in the clear stream is a mournful sound." This elegiac couplet hung there, silently asking him: Why have you traveled to the present and fought in the north and south for nine years, but you still can't let the country escape this suffering?
After the opening remarks, Zhang Hanqing gave a speech at the conference, which is a Chinese practice.
Zhang Hanqing did not hesitate. He took the microphone and gave a short but far-reaching impromptu speech to the audience:
"Today, with a heavy heart, we solemnly commemorate the citizens who died in the May 30th Incident. Although I cannot remember their names one by one, I know that they are all called citizens of the Republic of China!
Yesterday, they may be fathers, husbands, or sons; they may also be relatives and friends, neighbors, or co-workers. Today, they are all a bunch of dead souls! The white-haired people gave away the black-haired people, and the orphans and widows lost their loved ones and source of livelihood. This tragic situation is the current situation of our Republic of China.
The Republic of China and the Republic of China only have people and a country. Killing our people is the same as murdering our country. China has suffered enough of this kind of humiliation. Since the Opium War, China has been bullied by countless foreign powers. It has become a tradition to cut off territory and pay tribute; it has become popular to suffer slavery.
Every conscientious Chinese person here believes that we have the same aspirations, that is, to strengthen our motherland!
Why does imperialism dare to be so rampant? Just because we are too weak! When workers go on strike, workers die; when students march, students die. Only when the People's Army waved their guns and pushed out our cannons could things not get worse and our people not suffer more losses.
??The bottom line is that our industry is inferior to others, our technology is inferior to others, and our national strength is inferior to others!
Keeping the national humiliation in mind, working hard, and enduring temporary anger, everyone starts with cultivating their personality, and everyone in the business and academic circles aims to develop their own industry. Then ten years of gatherings, ten years of lessons, and twenty years later, a rising China will stand tall in the world. Who dares to insult me ??again?
So I hope everyone will stop strikes, market strikes, and school strikes. This is not a compromise. I have never been a compromise person. But I know that retracting your fist and punching it out is much more powerful than hitting back directly!
When necessary, strikes, market strikes, and school strikes are held to show protest and opposition to the tyrants, and to express the determination and strength to resist the tyrants. It is very appropriate, but it should not be carried out for a long time to avoid excessive sacrifice.
"Because of the strike, students have wasted their schooling time, which plays into the opponent's original intention of hoping that our people will be ignorant and enslaved by them;
If the market goes on strike, the Chinese businessmen will lose 3 million per day, and their opponents will lose less than one-tenth;
?A strike, in which only Chinese businessmen employ workers, while the workers employed by their opponents do nothing, is tantamount to committing suicide. And it is time for our country to rise up together to resist economic aggression. This phenomenon is not a blessing to the country.
I ask myself that my patriotism is no different from that of all walks of life. However, in this difficult situation, we should take a long-term view and take strict steps. This is not a shy move, but is actually a reasonable, beneficial and measured move.
The blood of the Chinese people will not be shed in vain, and this shame will definitely be repaid with blood debt! "
With everyone watching, he slowly read out a poem. This was the first time he had written a poem in the past two years:
"I am used to spending long nights in spring, and my wife will have hair on her temples.
In the dream, there are vague tears of loving mother, and the king's flag changes on the city wall.
I can’t bear to see my friends become new ghosts, and I look for poems among the swords in anger.
After chanting, I lowered my eyebrows and found nothing to write about. The moonlight shone like water on my clothes. "
This poem has no title, and Zhang Hanqing was not prepared to give it a title. Later, it was named "Untitled" when it was included in the Young Marshal's poetry collection.
With tears in his eyes, he glanced at the canvas shed hanging with the images of the seventeen deceased people one by one. Although he couldn't see clearly what they looked like, he still said silently in his heart: "Your blood will not be in vain. Give me ten years." I will let the British Empire lower its pride. Then I will have a thin glass of wine to pay homage to your souls.
If you have an afterlife, remember to be reincarnated in China. At that time, China would not tolerate any harm to any of its citizens, anywhere! A strong China will definitely regain its momentum of "any strong man who offends us will be punished no matter how far away"! rest in peace! "
Amid the commander’s loud orders and a row of dull and orderly gunshots, countless officers and soldiers on duty in various parts of the motherland silently took off their hats to express their condolences. The venue of 200,000 people was completely silent as they all bid their final farewells to the souls of the dead.
Then, the loud national anthem came from nowhere. The sound became louder and louder, more deafening, and spread farther and farther. Countless Shanghai citizens sang in the streets and alleys, singing passionately and with tears streaming down their faces. At this time, people suddenly realized that the young marshal was prescient and far-sighted in deciding it as the national anthem.
"Get up, people who don't want to be slaves, use our flesh and blood to build our new Great Wall. The Chinese nation is at its most dangerous time, and everyone is forced to let out a final roar: Get up, get up, get up! We are united as one, Brave the enemy's artillery fire and advance! Brave the enemy's artillery fire and advance! Advance! Advance! Advance!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 725 Success is not considered success

All this frightened Hu Hanmin, who was closely watching the negotiation process between the two parties.
Since Zhang Hanqing entered Shanghai, his successive actions seemed to have no diplomatic acumen: in addition to provoking greater resentment in the hearts of the Chinese people, he only had a more unyielding attitude than all walks of life towards the outside world. He may be a fearless military strategist and a good hand in the propaganda world, but with a military background, he seems not suitable for modern politics. This is Hu Hanmin's realization for a period of time.
However, the intense public sentiment will not last long. After Zhang Hanqing held a public sacrifice with great fanfare, the people's emotions began to boil over, reaching a climax and then ending abruptly. Not only did he successfully win over people's hearts through the toughness shown by the People's Party, the People's Army, and the People's Government in giving the people the power to be the masters of their affairs, but he also used an emotional speech to get workers to return to work from a more rational perspective.
The young marshal's approach is very sophisticated and leaves people speechless. The pressure he has withstood is not fake, and his theory of persuading people to resume work cannot be said to be incorrect. But if the order is slightly reversed, the effect is much weaker: throwing water on the fire, no matter how he explains it, has negative consequences and suspicion.
And according to the information he received, the foreign committee also urged the concession authorities to release all arrested workers and also lifted the emergency alert.
When the heavily armed foreign troops disappeared silently on the concession line, it was very obvious that all the people believed that this was the young commander's contribution and a victory for China. No matter what measures Zhang Hanqing takes in the future and what results he achieves, he will not be suspected of being weak or shrinking.
Looking back on the whole process, Hu Hanmin felt a lot: Why don’t you understand diplomacy? This is a good diplomat! This is how modern politics is played! With such a young leader of the Kuomintang here, look at the torn-down Kuomintang. Alas, the situation is over!
After both parties take a step back, there will be an opportunity for a second negotiation. This time the Shanghai Consular Corps was ordered to join, and it turned into a tripartite meeting between the Ministry of Industry and Industry, China, and the Consular Corps. Zhang Hanqing still leads China's follow-up with the dignity of a young commander.
After the last torture, the consular corps and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau had a personal understanding of the young marshal's abilities, and they began to think more carefully. With joint efforts, it was determined that the priority was to take advantage of the situation to relieve the tense situation in Shanghai, and then discuss more specific matters such as case investigation and handling, higher-level joint hearings and other matters.
After the release of the Chinese workers, we obtained understanding that their jobs would be restored and their wages would be paid as normal during the strike. This is a major measure to stabilize the 250,000 workers in the concession: after all, the incident was caused by the workers' strike.
In view of the vigorous rise of the world labor movement, China’s domestic Labor Law has also gained more and more favor among the people. Under such circumstances, the concessions that continue to be high-pressure have gradually lost their vitality. In the Chinese border, hundreds of factories are already being built. Over time, the loss of labor will be an important factor in the concession losing its aura.
At this time, with a little concession, we can not only provide resource guarantees for future "sustainable development", but also show goodwill to China in exchange for benefits from other places.
Therefore, when the Ministry of Industry and Industry makes concessions, it will properly take care of the interests of workers. The method is to allow the establishment of a formal trade union organization in the concession to serve as a formal communication channel between labor and management. As a member of the Chinese workers' organization, the Concession Trade Union also accepts the leadership of the Shanghai Provincial Trade Union.
Of course, China has also made concessions. Workers in the concession are temporarily unable to enjoy some of the protections stipulated in the domestic Labor Law - there is nothing that can be done. As long as foreign capitalists are not subject to government control, more Exploitation is inevitable.
However, Zhang Hanqing emphasized that no threats to the lives of Chinese workers and Chinese people in the concession are allowed at any time or for any reason.
However, there are considerable differences in the handling of the dead and injured: China failed to make progress on the four items that day, demanding an apology from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, the removal of secretary Lu He, compensation for the losses of the dead and injured, and a joint trial to recover the public property.
Because this involves an issue of decency, and the British side believes that it is inappropriate to directly designate it as an issue of the Ministry of Industry and Industry before the results of the investigation are released, so the so-called apology, compensation, etc. cannot be established. In addition, Lu He is a senior employee of the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, and his appointment and dismissal should be made by the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and should not be swayed due to external pressure.
??And they also proposed: The committee team and the Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau have made huge concessions and sincerity, and the Chinese government should control the massive suppression of British and Japanese goods in China.
In this matter, the Japanese feel very "unjust": we only killed one worker, Gu Zhenghong, the "thorn head", and the subsequent massacre of the parade was caused by the British, and now we are also affected!
The British were even more "unjust": Nothing happened to us originally, they just wanted to give the Japanese a hand, but who knew it would become a big deal.
??The reaction of the ministries and bureaus to the May 30th Incident is not surprising: they have been immersed in the colonial paradise of Shanghai for many years, and have formed a mindset of turning the public concession into an independent kingdom. Faced with the tragic disaster caused by patrols in the concession, the consular corps and the concession authorities had no regrets.
So when Bullard persuaded him to accept punishment out of the overall interests of Sino-foreign relations, General Director Fei Bedeng actually complained: "In order to appease some Chinese people, the Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau is undoubtedly being punished by others."
However, given that the Ministry of Industry and Industry is a special administrative agency appointed by the six countries, including the consular corps, the mission corps and its appointed committees, they cannot directly interfere with its operations. It did not agree with the way it dealt with itself rather than admitting its mistakes, and the mission had no choice but to watch and continue their helplessness.
Fortunately, with the two measures of releasing people and withdrawing troops, the radical sentiment in the market is no longer there. What remains is how both sides can exit the situation with dignity. That's it, it's already much better than the official history.
“In addition, outside the negotiation court, a new game has begun. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 726 The British are going to start a financial war
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The reason why Zhang Hanqing dared to put forward various requirements to the British that were considered very "harsh" by the British was because he accurately grasped the situation.
Although after the end of World War I, Britain, as the victorious country, obtained a large area of ??mandated territory, and the empire's territory was further expanded. But this is just an appearance:
Due to the huge losses suffered by Britain during the war, 8 million tons of ships were damaged, accounting for more than 70% of the merchant ships, and the death toll in the navy reached 27,215. After World War I, Britain lost its long-held maritime hegemony, its economic strength declined, its dominance over the colonies weakened, and it was no longer able to maintain a huge colonial system.
At the same time, driven by the impact of World War I and the Russian October Revolution, the colonial consciousness of national independence further strengthened, the post-war national liberation movement reached a climax, and the British colonial system was greatly impacted.
For example, in 1921, the United Kingdom was forced to allow 26 counties in southern Ireland to secede and enjoy autonomy, and the name of the British country was changed from "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland" to "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland";
In 1922, the "Wafd" Party led Egypt to gain initial independence. Some dominions, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, participated in the war to support Britain during World War I and gave Britain a large amount of manpower and material support. This increased the dominion's claim to be on an equal footing with Britain.
Some people commented that the First World War made Britain "victorious but weak" and "won the war but lost the advantage". The Great War did cost Britain a great deal.
During the war, it lost 1/3 of its national wealth, lost 50% of its merchant fleet, and sold 1/4 of its overseas assets. The war reduced Britain from the world's largest creditor country to a heavily indebted debtor country. Its debt increased from 650 million pounds in 1914 to 7.828 billion pounds in 1920.
The surge in debt has also shaken the status of the British financial center, causing the British pound, which originally played a common currency role in the international market, to be impacted by the US dollar. The British dominance of using the British pound to financially exploit the world has been weakened.
Therefore, the war severely weakened Britain's economic strength, and its world hegemony and the foundation of imperial unity began to shake. Although the British government has adopted protective tariffs, unemployment insurance and overseas immigration policies, economic development is still full of difficulties.
This war also changed the balance of power between Britain and Japan in the Far East, especially in China: Britain's power gradually declined, while Japan took advantage of "God's blessing" to develop and strengthen its power in the Far East, and achieved a superior position of monopolizing China.
As the friction between Britain and Japan increased due to the change in the balance of power, after the war, they re-established their respective policies towards the Far East and China.
At the same time, in China, the national liberation movement was growing day by day, violently impacting the British and Japanese colonial rights in China. Under such circumstances, in order to safeguard their respective colonial rights and suppress the Chinese revolution, Britain and Japan launched a tug-of-war in China that was both cooperation and competition.
Before and after the Washington Conference, they began to adjust their policies in the Far East. Britain implemented a policy of containment and appeasement towards Japan, and continued to implement an imperialist policy towards China, but at the same time showed a trend of diplomatic withdrawal; while Japan launched "coordinated diplomacy" and "Non-interference" diplomacy toward China essentially shows a trend of diplomatic offensive.
Therefore, in the face of the increasingly powerful Republic of China, the United Kingdom, as a long-established imperialist power, has gradually become unable to deal with East Asian issues involving China. This can be seen from their handling of the May 30th tragedy and its aftermath. Even in official history, Britain could only do nothing or even acquiesce to Japan's encroachment on Northeast China in Asia.
It is good at playing "balance of power diplomacy" on the European continent, but in East Asia, where there is only one behemoth, China, it cannot use these tricks. In the past, warlords still had a fulcrum when fighting in a melee. Now that all princes are under the leadership of the People's Party, the strategy of defeating each other is no longer effective.
If China really takes the risk and engages in all-round economic confrontation with it, what will it do to counterattack?
War? The people are tired of war and their finances are bankrupt. Can the United States agree? Can the course of the war be controlled? Can millions of people's troops defeat it?
After Japan and the United Kingdom jointly caused the "May 30th Massacre", a massive anti-imperialist movement, especially the anti-British movement, was launched across China. The cunning Japanese government also vowed to assist Britain in jointly opposing China at the beginning, but when Britain's fatigue showed, it quietly turned its back - its losses in China did not allow it to continue to oppose China. in the camp.
If we say that in the past, it could completely ignore China's position, because a loose and weak Republican government did not dare to stop it from plundering the Chinese economy.
But in the four years from 1916 to 1919,Japan's exports to China increased by 159.6%, and its proportion of China's foreign trade increased from 23% in 1913 to 43.5% in 1918. The amount of investment in China jumped from fourth place before the war to being on par with the United Kingdom, which ranked first. Its merchant ships The total tonnage reached 513,000 tons, ranking third in the world.
In a word, China is its benefactor now.
Thanks to the fact that China is extremely limited in material resources and its industrial capabilities are increasingly large-scale, China’s market can be paved with domestic products, and the impact of foreign goods can be completely ignored. Now it is Japan that needs China, not the other way around. Without China, a huge market, Japan's economy would plummet, there is no doubt about it.
And the huge financial resources of the People's Army also daunted the Japanese government. I haven't dealt with him directly, so I don't know the details. However, with its organizational capabilities and the strength that it has gradually established into a system, even the radical Japanese military circles cannot guarantee that it can win. It must win in one battle. Otherwise, Japan can fall into economic quagmire just by dragging its feet.
This is also the reason why Japan only dares to hide behind the British. As soon as the situation is not serious, it will immediately run away. By implementing a dual policy, it disengaged itself from the anti-imperialist movement earlier and considered how to further its economic aggression in China.
The United Kingdom is extremely dissatisfied with Japan's behavior. However, being trapped in isolation has forced it to consider limited adjustments to its China policy.
As the People's Party has taken overall control of the Chinese political power, the People's Army is militarily stronger (as can be seen from its soldiers and equipment) than ever before, and the Republic of China has shown the potential for rapid economic and industrial development. All of this has This made Zhang Hanqing appear unusually tough and prevented Britain from gaining any advantage in this negotiation.
Zhang Hanqing is very clear about the details of the British.
From 1924 to 1929, British industrial production only grew by 12%, which was far behind the United States. Traditional industries such as coal, steel, and textiles are in deep trouble. Although the automobile, electrical and chemical industries are also developing rapidly, they are still not as good as those in the United States.
The UK's trade volume still ranks first in the world. From 1921 to 1929, the annual trade volume was more than 9 billion US dollars. However, the UK's share of international trade dropped from 13.9% in 1913 to 10.8% in 1929. %, the share of industrial product exports in the world dropped from 26% to 22%, and trade turned from surplus to deficit, with the deficit reaching 400 million pounds in the highest year.
The trade deficit is getting higher and higher, and the power of trade protectionism in the UK is getting stronger and stronger.
In 1915, the United Kingdom already imposed an ad valorem tax of 33.3% on imported cars, clocks, musical instruments, and movies on the grounds of raising war funds. This tariff was not terminated by the Labor government until 1924 (seven years after the end of the war), but it was re-imposed by the Conservative government in 1925 and its scope was expanded.
Another important reason for the lack of competitiveness of British industry is that the pound was overpriced when the gold standard was restored. Despite this, the UK's international balance of payments is still barely balanced due to the repatriation of international investment profits.
With the increase in the military strength of the People's Army, military intimidation alone could no longer restrain the Republic of China government from being tough on the British government. Economically, the Republic of China mainly relied on stimulating domestic demand (mainly using the power of state monopoly to build transportation, industry, agriculture, etc.) rather than expanding trade, which made Britain's financial and taxation chips increasingly weak.
Faced with Zhang Hanqing’s toughness, the British Concession authorities had no choice but to use another trick.
Less than 10 days after Zhang Hanqing entered Shanghai, a serious crisis - inflation was approaching step by step. This is also the scourge caused by imperialism.
Originally, China was a silver-standard country, and silver was currency in China. However, because countries such as Europe and the United States have already implemented credit currency systems, silver is an asset in them.
When international trade is balanced, this harm cannot yet appear, but when a foreign country intends to subvert China's monetary policy, the rise and fall of silver prices in the international market will be extremely conducive to achieving the other party's purpose.
When the Chinese government and the United Kingdom achieved political goals through an economic distance war, the British government used its financial monopoly or dominant position to ingeniously direct a financial war.
On June 2, the price of silver plummeted in the London futures market, and the news reached Shanghai, causing an uproar in the securities market. Then the value of the silver dollar was severely undervalued, causing prices to skyrocket.
At first, Zhang Hanqing didn’t take it seriously: after all, silver dollars were not banknotes, they were real hard currency. At present, when China's dependence on foreign countries is not high, as long as there is no major famine in China and food prices are stable, the financial foundation will be stable. This is common sense.
But starting from June 5, the Shanghai market has been filled with a wave of "accumulation" fever. Because the Sino-British war was becoming more and more intense, especially after the British warships on the Huangpu River began to bombard, foreign capital, led by British capital, transferred assets one after another. Industrialists inside and outside the concession also transferred their property, and on the other hand, they also transferred their assets. As a last resort, some daily necessities were purchased to cope with possible shortages.
The rumors are getting stronger and stronger, and citizens are joining in the panic buying process. After Shanghai fell into an economic panic of hoarding food and medicines, people queued up to buy rice. While Miku declared a warning, he also hoarded rice according to the orders of profiteers in order to make greater profits.
As a result, the market became even more tense, and the prices of rice, cloth, shoes, salt, and cooking oil all rose in response. In the end, even the price of coal for civilian use also soared. Although it is already midsummer, basically except for power plants, Citizens’ daily consumption needs are nearly fixed.

Chapter 727 Food Crisis

Zhang Hanqing is a veteran of financial warfare: in the Northeast, he personally directed two counterattacks against Japan's financial war and achieved great results; in later generations, he personally experienced the 1998 financial crisis and the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis. Crisis, I have also seen many stories about solving the economy and analyzes of the origins of the economic crisis.
Under the conditions of market economy, crises are particularly prone to occur, which is its drawback.
Despite these shortcomings, Zhang Hanqing is still determined to follow the path of market economy. However, now, China is still in the era of planned economy, and this process is still strengthening. Therefore, Zhang Hanqing is confident that the government can mobilize its efforts to deal with this crisis.
A very sudden economic crisis happened at this point. If we believe that there is no conspiracy behind it, Zhang Hanqing is no longer Zhang Hanqing. This is obviously an attempt to use the financial crisis to intimidate themselves and tighten negotiations! No wonder the British Consul General Barton warned deeply after the last negotiation broke down again: "I believe you will come to us again."
Economic crisis is a chronic disease of the capital world. The solution to it is simple to say: confidence and information, but it is not that difficult to implement.
In order to reverse this situation, the People's Government Zhang Hanqing sat in Shanghai and called on citizens to exchange gold and silver for foreign exchange in an attempt to gain confidence in the silver dollar.
However, because citizens had suffered enough from the depreciation of the silver dollar, they exchanged silver dollars for rice as soon as prices improved. Rice dealers took the opportunity to stir up trouble and drive up the price. As a result, 100 kilograms of rice was originally worth 9 silver dollars, but it rose to 14 yuan within a week.
Prices have soared, making it difficult for factories to operate, and a lot of industrial capital has been converted into speculative capital, which in turn has exacerbated inflation. In less than a month, the silver dollar will be driven out of Shanghai and the People's Party will lose its foothold.
One month after the May 30th Incident, Britain and Japan jointly implemented a maritime trade blockade against China. They used the power of their navy to control the gateway to the East China Sea through the Zhoushan Islands. As a result, the waterway for merchant ships from various countries to Shanghai was completely cut off.
The main source of imported diesel and gasoline was immediately cut off. Raw cotton from India and the United States, rubber from Southeast Asia, and many purchased industrial raw materials are stuck at ports in various countries and cannot be shipped in. The cotton stockpiles of private cotton mills are only enough for more than ten days of consumption. The number of suspended cotton mills has increased from 5 to more than 100. At home, big factories like Chint Rubber Factory also asked to close their operations.
Yangshupu Power Plant burns diesel. Once the oil source is cut off, most of Shanghai will lose power. On the other hand, export products are piled up on the docks and cannot be shipped out. If this continues, as Yu Qiaqing, leader of the Shanghai Industrial and Commercial Trade Union, said: "Factories will close, workers will lose their jobs, prices will rise, the market will be cold, taxes will decrease, and life will be difficult. What should we do?"
Japanese companies are also adding fuel to the fire. In order to maximize the public's fear of unstable situation, some Japanese trading companies also took the opportunity to rush to buy rice from the market. Rice that originally cost 9 cents per pound increased to 1.4 cents in less than a week, and reached 3.2 cents in the second week, almost tripling!
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There are also some people with ulterior motives who are jumping up and down, adding fuel to the flames and exaggerating the situation in newspapers.
Zhang Hanqing is just like this: Since the two-year construction of the country, especially in agriculture, due to the huge investment and the extensive use of chemical fertilizers, the yield per mu has increased significantly compared with before.
Taking Northeast China, known as the "Granary of China", as an example, by the end of 1924, the total grain output exceeded 20 million tons for four consecutive years, laying a solid psychological foundation for Zhang Hanqing to stabilize the situation in Shanghai. He was worried that the commercial grain controlled by the country would not be marketable. No, the opportunity came by itself!
In the Northeast, the price of good rice is only 4 cents per catty. Even if the freight is not included, what a huge profit it will be to bring it to Shanghai!
This is also a good opportunity to clear away dissent: Because China has been weak for a long time and faced with the arrogance of the great powers in China, some Chinese people will inevitably make weak mistakes. What's more, many will help the tyranny and directly become thugs and vanguards of foreign forces.
During this economic crisis, as far as Zhang Hanqing knew, some people took advantage of the country's financial difficulties and consciously followed suit under the guidance of the British and Japanese forces. Zhang Hanqing is determined to teach them an unforgettable lesson!
Zhang Hanqing, Pan Fu, the financial assistant who hurriedly came from Beijing, and Zhang Tingshu, director of the East China Bureau of the Armed Police, considered it over and over again and decided to "first be polite and then to attack."
Prior to this, the China National Cereals and Oils Corporation had transported a large amount of grain through special trains and stored it in the Sihang Warehouse. Grain ships transshipped from Tianjin through the Grand Canal were rushing here like a tide.
On June 30, the Shanghai Finance and Economics Commission and the Grain DepartmentThe government distributed relief rice and organized them to build seawalls "relief through work".
So a very exciting scene appeared on the beach in Shanghai: as soon as the government's cheap rice was put on the market, it was immediately eaten by traders in large quantities, and then shipped into ports controlled by foreign chambers of commerce and transshipped out.
Of course they can’t get affordable rice. As businessmen, they can’t enjoy government financial subsidies. The affordable rice they received was the “affordable” price of 1.2 cents per catty with the base price plus the financial subsidy given to residents by the state.
Then, when the price of rice had risen to 0.36 yuan per catty, the government suddenly opened the sale of rice to Shanghai citizens at a price of 9 cents per catty. It is conceivable that this generous move brought a lot of consequences to the people of Shanghai and unscrupulous businessmen. What a great shock!
Shanghai citizens can buy 1 kilogram of rice per person per day at a low price with their household registration. The migrant workers in the factory will be distributed according to the statistics of the police station and civil affairs office in the area where the factory is located. This move immediately reassured Shanghai citizens.
There is something in the stomach and there is no panic in the heart. Since the government has provided a safe backing, what's the problem if the price of rice fluctuates? So for a while, Shanghai citizens laughed and talked about the price of rice and the rise and fall of stock prices. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

For the national capitalists who participated in previous speculation activities, Zhang Hanqing did not beat them to death with a stick. He also gave them a chance to see who they would turn to in this unprecedented conflict between China and foreign countries. In order to save as much as possible some national capitalists who were inherently weak due to various reasons, Zhang Hanqing decided to be polite before fighting.
He met with people from the business community in Shanghai through private channels, expressed his opinions on the current situation, and asked them about their attitudes and countermeasures.
When the struggle between China and foreign countries is intensifying, under the strong pressure of public opinion, many people choose to watch instead of getting involved. Regardless of whether they were forced or their conscience discovered it, Zhang Hanqing praised him. There are only a few people who have truly made it clear that they are willing to follow foreigners with all their heart - after all, the People's Party has taken power, and after all, they still have to live in this part of China. On the hot soil.
There are also some people who are far-sighted, even if they have a speculative mentality, they have clearly stated that they will follow the rhythm of the People's Party. One of the representatives is Zhang Hanqing's old friend, Sheng Enyi, chairman and general manager of Hanyeping Company.
In just two years, the young marshal who met on the bank of the Han River turned out to be a young leader in the country. This made Sheng Enyi very happy: Unexpectedly, he was incompetent for half his life, but he was lucky enough to get to know Zhang Hanqing in advance. Zhang Hanqing's various performances, especially his ownership of Han Yeping Company, showed his super strength.
This company, which has been indirectly controlled by the Japanese for more than ten years, has been helpless by several governments. It actually changed its surname overnight, and the purchase price is said to be astonishingly low!
How could the Japanese make such a mistake? Even though he is incompetent in business, he also knows that the acquirer has taken a huge advantage: ever since the construction of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was planned and several surrounding railways used steel produced by Hanyeping, its stock price has been rising.
Strong steel demand will support its continued soaring for a foreseeable period of time, but the Japanese just want to sell it, and it is surprisingly cheap.
what is the reason? He had no way of knowing because the wind was blowing from the northeast. However, the major shareholder and new director appointed by the Northeast Iron and Steel Group did not accept his power as usual, and continued to respect him as the general manager, which made him feel strange. He knows his own weight. The Dandy can be regarded as the number one in Shanghai, but when it comes to running a business, it is better than nothing.
Until one day, by chance, he found out that the reason why he was sitting on the stage unharmed was the young marshal's nostalgia, and he finally understood some of the inside stories of Northeast China.
Not to mention the inside story, even in Shanghai, the Northeast Iron and Steel Group, which is quite large and powerful enough to dwarf Shanghai, is only one of the twelve large companies in the Northeast, and these twelve large companies are all controlled by the Northeast Bank. It is controlled separately by the four major subordinate banks. On the surface, Yu Aozhou, the president of Northeast Bank and Northeast Agricultural Bank, is the young marshal's uncle-in-law.
Only then did he pay serious attention to Zhang Hanqing again. Only then did we realize that as the People's Party entered Beijing, twelve large companies had already occupied an absolutely dominant position in China's national economy, and the four major banks had become huge financial institutions backed by national strength. The power that the young commander can use, whether it is political, military, or economic, is astonishing.
Now, the young marshal has come to Shanghai in person. If he cannot capture the God of Wealth and China's largest dignitary, he will be ashamed of Sheng Xuanhuai's careful teachings for many years, and he will not be Sheng Enyi!
The method he used was very old-fashioned and very effective, that is, in public, he clearly supported Zhang Hanqing's various policies, followed his footsteps, and in private, asked Sheng Aiyi to visit Zhang Hanqing frequently.
This was decided by Sheng Enyi after a heart-to-heart discussion with her mother. Despite his poor business acumen, he is very experienced in these matters.
Zhang Hanqing was interested in Sheng Aiyi. He could tell it when he was in Wuhan, but at that time he didn't know China's future trends, nor did he expect that the People's Army would achieve such great achievements in such a short period of time. Otherwise, he will be burning cold stove at that time.
Whether the Sheng family can be glorious again will now depend on her, the most pitiable sister in the family. He wanted to open the young marshal's heart through her, regardless of the fact that the young marshal already had a group of wives and concubines.
"What do you think of that young marshal?" This was what her mother asked Sheng Aiyi in private. Only mother and daughter can have a good conversation in private.
"I don't know" Sheng Aiyi wanted to say that he was the most magnificent, handsome, outstanding, and the most heart-wrenching man she had ever seen. But when the words came to her lips, she said this.
"Really? Who is that, cutting up all the news about him in the newspaper into a volume? Who is reading his poems every night? Who is it, I heard that he didn't even eat when he came to Shanghai and wanted to see him???? Who was it that was so angry that he didn't eat for a whole day after hearing the scandal between him and the third girl of the Song family? "Mrs. Zhuang looked at her and smiled meaningfully.
Although Sheng Aiyi is a well-known figure in Shanghai’s social circle, she still blushes in front of her mother. She was in the prime of life in Huaichun, so it was normal for her to fall in love with Zhang Hanqing, a man of extraordinary talent and wealth.
"Go and invite him to our house for a meal. Use your brother's car!" Mrs. Zhuang emphasized.
Her brother’s car is very famous: the first Mercedes-Benz imported from Shanghai, the handlebars were replaced with silver ones, and the license plate in the concession was 4444. In Shanghai, as long as you see this car, you will know that the fourth son of the Sheng family has arrived, and his popularity is not ordinary.
?Would this be too high-profile? Sheng Aiyi had some doubts, but was relieved immediately. For the Sheng family, the high-profile emphasis on their relationship with Zhang Hanqing at this time was the most powerful protector both politically and economically. Mrs. Zhuang's intention was to let everyone in Shanghai know about the relationship between the Sheng family and the young marshal.
??Traditionally, the existence and development of a large family depended to a large extent on marriage. Maybe an outstanding member of the family may appear at a certain time, but you can't guarantee that he will appear at every time. Marriage, on the other hand, minimizes risks and increases opportunities.
Every young lady born in a big family, while enjoying the benefits brought by the family, has a natural obligation to sacrifice her own marriage, whether it is happiness or unhappiness.
Sheng Aiyi is no exception.
Although she and Soong Meiling are both Shanghainese concubines, there is not much friendship between them but more of an overt and covert rivalry. Miss Song San captured the young marshal's heart so quickly, which made Sheng Aiyi not only surprised but also felt a deep sense of crisis. If the previous contests were just unconscious expressions between individuals, the current contest is enough to determine the rise and fall of the two families.
The Sheng family has been in decline since the death of his father, and the Song family has also begun to decline since Sun Yat-sen died of illness. Even the less clever clan members can see that the appearance of the young commander is the key for any of their clans to stop losses in time and reach new heights. Whoever can climb up to his level will not only benefit financially, but will also have a considerable improvement in political status.
“Hmph, doesn’t Miss Song San believe in Christ? Christianity requires monogamy, and the young commander is already married, so why is she so close? With this idea in mind, Sheng Aiyi instinctively showed hostility towards Soong Meiling.
So I contacted Zhang Hanqing on the third day after he came to Shanghai, even though Zhang Hanqing was expressing his love to the third lady of the Song family at this time.
It was a sunny morning. Sheng Aiyi, who was dressed elegantly and elegantly, invited Zhang Hanqing to sit at Sheng's house.
She has done in-depth research on Zhang Hanqing's harem. The young marshal likes light makeup instead of thick makeup, and he likes purity instead of gaudy. The image of a social butterfly that she is proud of will be completely lost. , so she chose to take the traditional route.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After not seeing her for many years, Zhang Hanqing still had a particularly good impression of her, especially when she appeared in front of him with a pure, beautiful, elegant and noble image.
Her appearance made Zhang Hanqing’s eyes light up and brought back every detail of his time in Wuhan.
It turns out that after experiencing a series of women, Sheng Aiyi's advantages were declining, especially after meeting Soong Meiling. With equal beauty and equally fluent foreign languages, they are both ladies trained by large families, but Soong Meiling can overpower Sheng Aiyi with her family's political influence.
In terms of beauty, his wives are all as beautiful as flowers and have their own characteristics: dignified and steady, Xiaojiabiyu type, plump and strong, supple and pure, trendy and sunny But people like Song Meiling Still the only one.
Zhang Hanqing felt novel about the ladies trained by the big family. Why is it said that nobles only emerge after three generations? Because some things, such as the development of temperament, the inheritance of knowledge, and the accumulation of self-cultivation, cannot be achieved overnight. His wives are all beautiful, but they are naturally lacking in aristocratic temperament.
Because it is lacking, it is rare; because it is rare, it is liked.
But what lies in front of them is a ravine. Just as Sheng Aiyi slandered, the Song family believes in Christ unless one of the two makes the first concession.
With Zhang Hanqing’s current status and influence, it is a bit exaggerated for him to divorce his wife and remarry: the third lady of the Song family is beautiful, but not to the point where Zhang Hanqing can lose his mind. Besides, the Yu Fengzhi family has now become a behemoth both politically and economically. The Huang Wanqing family can also throw the Song family a few blocks away in terms of financial resources. He will definitely not do such a thing.
And if the third lady of the Song family should abandon her faith and follow Zhang Hanqing, I am afraid that she and even the Song family would not like to see it. In addition, the political disputes between the People's Party and the Kuomintang have also seriously affected the close exchanges between Zhang Hanqing, the leader of the People's Party, and Miss Song San, the sister-in-law of the leader of the Kuomintang.
Sheng Aiyi has no such scruples. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)My sister put aside her faith and followed Zhang Hanqing, which was probably not what she or even the Song family wanted to see. In addition, the political disputes between the People's Party and the Kuomintang have also seriously affected the close exchanges between Zhang Hanqing, the leader of the People's Party, and Miss Song San, the sister-in-law of the leader of the Kuomintang.
Sheng Aiyi has no such scruples. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 729 Jealousy
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing has never been in the habit of refusing the delicacies served to him. Besides, he also has thoughts about the seventh lady of the Sheng family.
After handling the May 30th Incident in a high-profile manner, he focused more on dealing with the aftermath in Shanghai and achieving his vision of coordinated development between the north and the south through the transformation of Shanghai. He spent most of his time relying on publicity rather than actual work, which made him especially in need of the nourishment of women. Therefore, Sheng Aiyi came to invite him in person, and he happily accepted the invitation.
In the garden of the Sheng family, Zhang Hanqing and Sheng Shengyi, the seventh son of the Sheng family, were chatting enthusiastically as they rocked their lounge chairs comfortably. For Zhang Hanqing, this is a rare relaxing time after coming to Shanghai for a few days.
Beside them, Sheng Aiyi was peeling apples attentively. It was originally an opportunity for the two of them to be intimate with each other, but accidentally, I revealed the wish of my brother who loves football, and the young marshal and his brother talked about forming the first football team with great interest. There was endless talk about the "drag forward centre-back", "four-four-two" and "three-four-three" formations.
Of the children of the Sheng family, the eldest, second and third are all opium addicts, the fourth, Sheng Enyi, is a famous prodigal, but the seventh, Sheng Shengyi, is interested in playing football. His ambition is to build the best football team in the Far East, which will make Zhang Hanqing, who loved football in his previous life, even more interesting.
In this era, football is not as influential as the world's number one sport. Sheng Shengyi has this idea, and he can be regarded as the first person in the country to try it. Zhang Hanqing appreciates this very much, although it is not generally accepted by people in this society as a son of a noble family to form a football team with a strong scale and influence.
As a senior fan, Zhang Hanqing has personally experienced the most massive match-fixing case in the history of Chinese football, which made Zhang Hanqing deeply hate the Chinese football environment before traveling back to China.
For the sake of profit, team owners, coaches and even players and referees colluded to put the development of Chinese football on a pillar of shame. Chinese players are famous for their high incomes, poor skills, explosive tempers, and shady insiders. This has also led to "defeat every day", "Koreaphobia", "Asia's No. 1 candidate", "the second best player in ten thousand years", etc. The appearance of the title is by no means accidental.
??The football team established purely by the Sheng family based on hobbies rather than interests will definitely show its best side and lay a solid foundation for the early take-off of China's football industry in the future.
Rules are set by people, and habits are developed slowly. If everyone plays this way, it will be formed to compete for talents from the beginning, and it will basically develop at the same time as the world's football powers. Why can't China become a world-class player? The ranks of strong teams?
At this time, playing football was still a very expensive activity: in an era when food was not enough and clothing was not enough, only those who had money and leisure could afford it. Moreover, football is a long-term sport that requires full enthusiasm, sufficient financial resources and great insights. Although the Sheng family has declined, Sheng Shengyi, as the seventh son, still meets the above requirements, so he is a good candidate to develop China's football career.
The two were in such high spirits that they even thought of a name, "Donghua Football Team." Zhang Hanqing even said that as long as this team is established, he will urge the General Administration of Sports under the Ministry of Education to plan a National Games, and then regard football games as an important event to popularize it in China.
Sheng Aiyi was also very happy to see the two of them hit it off like old friends. Zhang Hanqing's recognition of people from the Sheng family is a signal in itself.
"Hanqing, you eat." The polite stage has passed, and there is no honorific when calling Zhang Hanqing, but it is a little more warm. Sheng Aiyi put the peeled apple into Zhang Hanqing's hand.
The fair and pink hands, with long bright red nails, are extremely impactful. Zhang Hanqing took it with a smile and touched her hand. Sheng Aiyi snickered, but did not shrink back. The two of them were extremely close.
Sheng Shengyi was lying on the couch, holding the back of his head with his hands, not even looking in the direction of the two of them, although their every move was in his eyes. After all, people who are trained by a big family will definitely see what they should see, and they won't say anything about what they shouldn't see.
If it weren’t for Song Ziwen’s sudden intrusion, this tender scene would have brought their relationship closer. As a member of the family, Song Ziwen was able to enter and leave the Sheng Mansion freely, so he was able to see this heartbreaking scene at first sight.
Because Zhang Hanqing and Sheng Aiyi were obviously in love, the guards were scattered far away to avoid disturbing others' "Qingxiu". Jiang Huanan, who was in charge of peripheral security, did not stop Song Ziwen's arrival. After all, the latter was Sun Yat-sen's uncle-in-law and Miss Soong Meiling's brother, and he had many contacts during this time.
This relationship does not need to be reported at all.
Tan Hai, who served as an inner security guard, looked at Song Ziwen, who was in an imposing manner.When he came in, he didn't do anything to disturb the scenery. He believed in his eyes, because there was no place on Song Ziwen's body where a weapon could be hidden.
So Song Ziwen could rush directly to Zhang Hanqing.
The scene in front of him made his blood surge. He raised his hand and knocked the apple away, and pushed Sheng Aiyi's hand away from Zhang Hanqing's grasp.
The apple drew an arc in the air and rolled down to the ground. Only then did Zhang Hanqing notice this person and looked at him in surprise: "Song Ziwen?"
Sheng Aiyi also raised her head and said in surprise: "What are you doing?"
In the past, Song Ziwen always looked gentle and elegant when he appeared next to her, with a demeanor that would remain unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai. However, Zhang Hanqing seemed to be his nemesis. He appeared in front of Song Ziwen twice, and the latter looked extremely angry.
Now, Song Ziwen's eyes seemed to be spitting out fire. If it weren't for Zhang Hanqing, how could the eldest brother-in-law, in his capacity as the Prime Minister of the Kuomintang, condescend to be the chairman of the transportation committee under Zhang Zuolin? The entire Kuomintang was crushed to death.
Since the death of Sun Yat-sen, the influence of the Song family has been significantly weakened: his status had just improved, but it was suddenly knocked back to its original shape.
His sister has been following the young marshal indistinctly these past few days, which has already caused him to be ridiculed in his circle of friends as saying that the Song family is going to "make peace". Her relationship with Sheng Aiyi was well known in the circle. She actually used her brother's Mercedes-Benz to invite Zhang Hanqing to the Song family with great fanfare.
Isn’t this a blatant slap in the face?
And now he is even flattering this man. Needless to say, there will definitely be jokes about him "losing his wife and losing his troops" in Shanghai tomorrow.
He was very annoyed: the good things that had already come naturally were disrupted by the arrival of Zhang Hanqing. It was just that he had hit a snag before when his family's reputation was not good. He finally shined brightly because of his brother-in-law's affairs, but he was quickly eclipsed by Zhang Hanqing's light.
He didn’t understand why Zhang Hanqing was eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. He was obviously having a hot relationship with his sister Song Meiling, and he was flirting with the seventh lady of the Sheng family at the same time, and now he was staying directly at her house. It is unacceptable for a man to step into two different boats, let alone step into the person he likes?
He is an arrogant person and cannot tolerate the development of this matter under any circumstances. Today, knowing that Zhang Hanqing was there, he barged in and wanted to make things clear.
Men also have vanity, but Song Ziwen suffered a lot.
After he left Wuhan angrily, he resigned from Han Yeping in anger, but he still did not let go of Sheng Aiyi's determination. He holds a master's degree in economics from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in economics from Columbia. During his studies, he worked as a clerk at Citibank, mainly helping to process remittances to China. He accumulated a certain amount of experience in international financial business and broadened his horizons.
After leaving Han Yeping, his outstanding business ability was quickly discovered. Due to his glorious family and his impressive resume, he successfully served as the general manager of Lianhua Commercial Bank. At the same time, he founded Dazhou Industrial Company and Shenzhou Trust Company, which was considered a success in Shanghai. Beach has made quite a name for itself, which is eye-catching.
Unlike time and space where he could defect to his brother-in-law Sun Yat-sen, Jier became the Minister of Finance of the Southern National Government at a young age. After his life trajectory was changed, his development potential in business was continuously realized, and he even found a place among Shanghai's rich and powerful. Moreover, his current family background is no longer what it used to be, which made the old lady of the Sheng family regret it and once wanted to arrange a relationship with Sheng Aiyi.
They also made some progress later, and were once hailed as the "golden boy and girl" of Shanghai. News of marriage was once spread. But the moment Zhang Hanqing stepped into Shanghai, Song Ziwen felt a crisis.
Because Sheng Ai Yizhong turned his attention to Zhang Hanqing, who was known throughout China. To most people, Song Ziwen's success is like a flying dragon flying to the sky, but compared with Zhang Hanqing's achievements, it seems insignificant.
But, who in the world has the opportunity of Zhang Hanqing?
Despite this, the person he likes is openly being pried into the corner, and his instinct as a man makes him desperate to stop him. Faced with Sheng Aiyi's questioning, he took her arm angrily: "What am I doing? Do you know what you are doing!"
Sheng Aiyi glanced at Zhang Hanqing awkwardly, suddenly pushed his hand away, and said angrily: "What do you care what I do! This is in my home!" No matter what, it's time to break up with him, otherwise it will definitely happen It makes them look like no one inside or outside.
Song Ziwen responded: "You're having sex with another man behind my back. What do you want from him? Isn't it just that he has power? He has a family!"
Sheng Shengyi was in a good conversation, not to mention that this close friend was someone the family always wanted to win over. Now that Song Ziwen was making such a fuss, how could he still have the interest to continue chatting? What's more, he has always been unfavorable to Song Ziwen.
He also had a hot temper. He jumped up and down, pointed at Song Ziwen and scolded: "Song, who do you think you are? You have the right to speak here! It's not for the sake of our friendship with the previous generation. Why do you think so?" Going in and out of the Sheng Mansion? When will it be your turn to speak about the Song family again!"
Song Ziwen was furious and gave up. He pointed at Sheng Shengyi angrily: "I know you all want to climb up to Zhang Hanqing! But let me tell you, there were many ups and downs in the Republic of China. Let’s go! It’s like this today, but I don’t know what will happen tomorrow!” (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??What's more, he has always been unfavorable to Song Ziwen.

Chapter 730 Scandal

Zhang Hanqing smiled.
When a shrew scolds the street, if you want to be on the same level as him, you will be at the bottom of the pile. With his current status, there is no need to engage in unnecessary verbal disputes with him anymore. Moreover, with Song Meiling's face around, it would be pointless to argue with him.
His faint smile looked even more contemptuous in Song Ziwen's eyes, as if he was too lazy to pay attention to him. He was so angry that he pointed at Zhang Hanqing and said: "Talk about his background, your father Zhang Zuolin was a bandit, and you are just thinking that he will get this position because of his merits! Why do you compete with me for women!"
Tan Hai and other internal guards who came after hearing the news were shocked. Even Sheng Shengyi felt a sudden rush in his heart. Hitting someone in the face or not, it doesn't matter if you are just jealous, but directly exposing someone's background is very hurtful.
With the young marshal’s current power, if you try to be tough with him, hehe, is that like a dung beetle lighting up a lantern and looking for dung (death)! Without Tan Hai's summons, two guards approached him and tried to control him; the other two guards began to lift their gun holsters to prevent him from violently injuring anyone.
Even Sheng Aiyi walked nervously to Zhang Hanqing and stretched out her hand to calm Zhang Hanqing's anger - that's what she should have done, right? The emperor's anger caused millions of floating corpses to bleed for thousands of miles. She was afraid that Zhang Hanqing would do something bad when he was angry. Although Song Ziwen spoke openly, his crime would not lead to death.
The two families have been together for several years, so why can’t they bear to see him stumble?
Zhang Hanqing stopped the movements of Tan Hai and others. He approached Song Ziwen with a smile: "I remember when I first met you in Wuhan four years ago, I said: 'You are not worthy of being my opponent.' Years ago, I still have to tell you that this statement still holds true!
“I also said that if Mr. Sun Yat-sen wants to be an enemy of the People’s Party, the People’s Party will be a very qualified enemy for him. What is gratifying is that Mr. Sun finally turned my enemy into a friend. I am just curious. You have neither Mr. Sun Yat-sen's reputation, nor his strength, nor his wisdom, so why should you be my opponent? ! "
This is a direct slap in the face. It turns out that they don’t even bother to fight with you.
"As for you keep saying that I was born a bandit, there is nothing ridiculous about it. People can't choose their origin, but they can change it. I did it, which is something to be proud of. I also taught you that the emperor of Han Dynasty started from the cold. Ting and Ming Taizu were originally beggars, but they eventually became successful and wrote a colorful page in history. Where is your pitiful superiority?"
What else did Song Ziwen want to distinguish, but Zhang Hanqing didn't give him a chance at all: "Do you believe that I can knock you down and turn you into a gangster with just one word? What happened today is just for your sister's sake, but You have to apologize to Ai Yi! You boast that you have been studying abroad in the United States for many years, but why do you have no manners at all? If a man who sings like a bird and wears a suit and leather shoes is the so-called gentleman, then your gentleman is too cheap! "
Song Ziwen was so scolded that he was trembling with anger. He finally let out his last roar: "Zhang Hanqing, I want to duel with you!"
Zhang Hanqing laughed: "Imitate Jing Ke in assassinating the King of Qin? I'm afraid if I can do it to the King of Qin, you may not be able to do it like Jing Ke! Are you competing with me with swords or spears?"
Having received arduous training in the martial arts hall, plus years of experience in the military, he was no match for him in any essay or martial arts. Even though he is more powerful than Fist, he is still five or six years younger than him, and looking at his opponent's polite manner, he is not the type to fight!
Zhang Hanqing’s humor made everyone in the audience burst into laughter. Wouldn’t your brain be burned out by a duel with the leader of the People’s Party, the commander-in-chief of the People’s Army, and China’s political successor? If Sun Yixian were still alive, he would be laughed out of his mind by this brother-in-law.
"But Song Ziwen didn't laugh. If eyes could kill, Zhang Hanqing would have been killed ten or eight times. Can looks kill? cannot! But that doesn't mean he can swallow this breath. There are things men do and things they don't do. In this situation, even if you can't beat him, you can't just leave in despair. Otherwise, how can you hold your head up in front of the Sheng family and Sheng Aiyi in the future?
"I'll fight with you" In desperation, the eldest son of the Song family, who had always been polite and courteous, pounced on Zhang Hanqing like a shrew. People who have lost their minds have the same primitive animal nature.
But Tan Hai and others will not let his move come true. Isn't it funny that a dignified national leader, leader of the People's Party, founder and commander of the People's Army would fight with the son of the Song family? How decent was it to spread the word? Even if Zhang Hanqing was absolutely sure of winning physically, it was because Song Ziwen had taken advantage of the boss!
So Song Ziwen was held down by several guards. Finally, everyone knew that his relationship with the young marshal was not a life-and-death feud. Looking at the unsullied faces of Sheng Aiyi and Zhang Hanqing and considering the dignity of the Song family, he did not suffer physical pain. ?nbsp; Therefore, on many occasions afterwards, Soong Meiling and Sheng Aiyi showed the momentum of their twin sisters competing for beauty, and he was happy about it.
However, the scene of Song Ziwen's jealousy in the Sheng family was still unknown, and soon the joke about "Beijing's young marshal fighting for love, and Shanghai's two sisters competing for love" was circulated on the beach. Regardless of whether the Sheng family was looking for food, or the Song family had lost face, the public case that Zhang Hanqing had stolen his brother-in-law's lover was flying around like a long leg.
The one who spread the news must be Sheng Laosi. This guy is a character who is afraid of chaos in the world, and he will be happy to publicize Song Ziwen's failure. As for Song Ziwen, it was too late for him to cover up such embarrassing things.
"But the big family doesn't care about these hearsay stories, but cares about real interests. Even in the Dream of Red Mansions, only the stone lion in front of the Jia Mansion is clean, so why should everyone be required to be moral models?
“But it’s true that Song Ziwen was scolded and grounded for three months after he returned home. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 731 Behind the scenes
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
"Last night, five more large ships entered Pudong from the Yangtze River Estuary, all loaded with white rice"
"The boss of Hutchison ran away. He originally wanted to stock up on goods, but who would have thought that the country was so determined that it destroyed his company and he couldn't stay in Hong Kong anymore"
There are stories like this circulating everywhere. When Zhang Hanqing travels, he can also play two originally unrelated strings, reaching Shanghai in the north and Hong Kong in the south.
“The British cannot be left to their own devices, and the general strike in the province and Hong Kong has become even more intense. Under the pressure of the fact that the People's Army dared to shoot at foreigners, coupled with the powerful organization of the People's Party's Guangdong Provincial Headquarters, the armed escort of the Guangzhou Military Region, the Guangdong Armed Police Force, and the Guangdong Police Department, the British did not dare to act like this again. The "May 30" incident was also handled in a bloody manner.
The striking workers chanted slogans such as "British people, get out of Hong Kong" and raised the banner of "Regain the sovereignty of Hong Kong", which shocked the country at home and abroad, and also shocked the UK.
Affected by this, the Shanghai stock market fell by more than 20% for three consecutive days. Major listed companies suffered heavy losses, especially national capital whose economic strength was insufficient. Because the economic strength was weak, it was simply unable to support it for a long time. Various industries There were depressions and bankruptcies.
At the same time, Bank of China, Bank of Communications, Agricultural Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank, etc., which had just established their ports, encountered severe bank runs. Originally, the HSBC Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, which were also the sponsoring banks, wanted to forcibly withdraw from the financial market at the expense of losses below the issue price.
Many people in the business community are panicking. Some are preparing to go to Hong Kong and Taiwan, and some even hope to receive direct blessing from the European and American powers. They believe that this massive anti-imperialist movement in China has greatly impacted the confidence of the capital market and the trust of major powers in China.
They believe that if it is allowed to develop, not only will the newly reborn Fengcheng government be politically isolated from the world again, but economic collapse is also not impossible.
Zhang Hanqing and the top leaders of the People's Party regard all this as a serious struggle to get rid of the enslavement of imperialist control, strive for the independent status of the Republic of China, and demonstrate national dignity and strength. He is all too familiar with the tactics used by the imperialists, which are nothing more than economic monopoly, monopoly that cannot be achieved through military means, monopoly on high prices and monopoly on low prices.
Fighting them requires determination, financial resources, the support of the country and the trust of the people - but it is also as he wished: it will be a matter of time to compete with the British, Japanese and other imperialists, so use this to practice first Training is also good.
They don’t know the financial strength of the Feng clan, nor have they experienced the run on the banking industry in Wuhan or the huge financial deficit caused by the Japanese in Northeast China. The People's Government has experienced such a big thing, passed it safely, and made its opponents surrender. How can a small place like Shanghai be ignored? Many times, confidence is backed by strength.
An interesting story also happened during this period: Deng Junxiang, a Chinese accountant at the HSBC Bank in Beijing, used bank money to make public bonds and lost 3 million, and asked someone to ask Zhang Zuolin to help him escape. But Zhang Zuolin laughed and said to the person he was entrusted with: "Foreigners have always defrauded Chinese people of money. Your friend can defraud foreigners of money and the amount is not small. He is a good boy and has courage! Ask him to live in your house temporarily. Come on, I'll send two brothers to your house right away to stand guard!"
True to his word, Zhang Zuolin really arranged for people to protect Deng around the clock. HSBC is the vanguard of Britain's economic struggle against China. If there is a chance to give it a beating, Zhang Zuolin will definitely not begrudge manpower. Naiko battled wits and courage with the British in Shanghai. As a father and head of state, he could only support him in this way.
However, although the Feng clique has controlled the central power, the influence of the warlord forces and local powerful factions that have been formed for a long time in various places is still huge. Taking Shanghai as an example, due to the concentration of concessions from various countries, large and small underworld forces and agents supported by foreign countries - comprador forces are mixed among the three religions and nine streams.
The famous private capitalist group in the Yangtze River Delta, the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, was wary of the central government at first. It has basically not returned to its original purpose. To a large extent, it has stayed away from the central government's various public ownership economic policies. , and sometimes even resist, but have to hide due to the authority of national power.
Once there is an opportunity, there is no guarantee that it will not have a shocking impact on the Chinese economy. These forces dare not take action when the country is strong, and they will hide in the market; once the People's Party's regime is unstable, or the international situation is unfavorable to China, these forces will take advantage of the opportunity to rise up and affect the People's Party. the basis of governance.
The People’s Party’s regime is new and has a weak foundation. If we don’t use this opportunity to shock them, it will be difficult for them to fully agree with their future economic policies. In Zhang Hanqing's words, this is a "good opportunity to cleanse the hidden power of the enemy!"
So he cast a very large net, and even though he had already caught some soldiers and generals, he still refused to close the net, waiting for the final sharp blow. Unless they are defeated and feared, they will definitely not believe in the promises of the people's government, and the common people and the national capitalists who are watching will not believe in the power of the country.
In the 20 days to July 30, the central government transported a total of about 1.5 million tons of rice using the Beijing-Shanghai Line, Longhai Line, Yangtze River water transportation and sea transportation. Excluding what is used and stored by ordinary citizens, about 1.3 million tons of rice are piled up in concessions or on overseas ships, waiting for an opportunity to return to mainland China.
Rice shops in various towns in Shanghai have reopened, but they are selling affordable rice from the government.
Distributing rice on an administrative basis, first of all, stabilizes the hearts of the citizens. If food prices are stable, prices of other commodities cannot become chaotic.
Now there are only two options before the rice merchants. One is to continue to buy and bet on whose financial resources will be exhausted first; the other is to cut off the position in tears and wait for the opportunity to start over.
But even if they choose the latter, the sales channels are not optimistic, because the government announced that Shanghai will be under naval control, and rice shops are the focus. They don't even have a way to sell the rice in stock. I had so much rice backlog in my hands before. Although I used some black market methods to clear it out to stop the loss, it was not a matter of urgency.
The rice merchants who had been supporting them gradually could no longer withstand this low-price dumping operation mode. They were quick to throw away the orders they were still taking in, on the principle of minimizing losses. The British and Japanese chaebols who fought desperately to the end suffered the most losses - although China is very poor, the country's power is still very powerful!
“All the cards that can bring benefits have been played, and continuing to plunge the economy into this crisis will cause greater harm to orderly production and trade. Zhang Hanqing judged that it is time to close the net. It decided to take the last resort: sealing up the Shanghai Futures Exchange, the center of activities for big speculators to manipulate the rice market!
At 10 a.m. on July 26, two battalions of the People’s Army and 400 plainclothes police officers were dispatched in five groups, suddenly surrounding the six-story futures trading building, and announced to more than 900 people who were conducting speculative trading and other activities in the building. An order was issued: Stop all transactions immediately, no entry or exit is allowed, no phone calls are allowed to contact the outside world, and you will wait where you are for interrogation and search!
Each group of staff quickly entered each room to search. In the office of the "Ito Inaya" broker, there were 18 telephones for market manipulation alone, and dozens of pieces of gold were found hidden in the wall.
The cleaning and interrogation work in the building lasted for two days and one night. Many legitimate businessmen were released one after another after interrogation. In the end, only 90 main speculators were detained and taken away. During this period, the outside of the building was crowded with people, and the citizens all clapped their hands and exclaimed: "The tycoon rat has collapsed!" and "The young marshal is so awesome!"
This clean and beautiful assault spread across Shanghai in an instant and shocked the whole country. The next day, the price of silver dollar "Sun Datou" to rice plummeted from 3.8 cents per catty to 1.9 cents. The next day, the price of rice fell by half again, and the price of cooking oil fell by 35%! It is almost at the level at the beginning of the year - you can imagine how happy the citizens carrying rice bags and oil bottles will be when they see this scene.
The "Rice War" became the first round of victory in the confrontation between the People's Party government under the leadership of Zhang Hanqing and Shanghai's old economic forces and imperialist forces, and the victory was heartfelt.
During this period, various industrial groups under the central government took the opportunity to invest approximately 180 million yuan in purchasing various stocks that were at the bottom of the market, and they almost collected them as soon as they saw the votes. Anyway, they were very wealthy.
As the price of rice returned to normal, other prices quickly fell behind, while industrial stocks finally rose back to their original value. Some national capitalists who believed in the central government and withstood the pressure to buy stocks made a lot of money. , thus creating a greater respect for the government, and those businessmen who escaped from the battle regretted it.
"I regret it so much. Why should I get involved when people are selling stocks? I only need to wait for half a month or just ten days, and I can make a lot of money. Now I have lost all my money!" Don't listen to the government's propaganda Aunt Huang, an expert in Shanghai stock trading who insisted on following the trend and selling stocks, said with tears in her eyes.
Fans who were affected by her and suffered losses are also having a hard time, but they made their own decisions and cannot blame others.
"Ala's nephew works in the government. Fortunately, he told me that I believed in the government once and used all the money my son saved from marrying his wife to buy stocks. Haha, not only has my wife not run away, but also If you can spare more money to do some small business, it is better for the government!" Old Liu's daughter-in-law, who listened to the government's propaganda, was sincerely grateful to the country, the party, and the young marshal who came to Shanghai.
Some people are happy and some are sad, and similar scenes are happening everywhere.
The biggest winner in this incident is the central government: This battle not only eased the central government's financial tightness caused by its heavy investment in infrastructure and industrial construction - this battle earned a net profit of 250 million from rice alone, but also Won nearly 300 million assets and become state-owned!
In addition, considering the impact of U.S. wheat dumping that caused a sharp drop in world grain prices at that time, the central government not only successfully completed grain sales at a better price - Northeastern rice was sold abroad from Harbin for only 8 cents per kilogram. The cost of overseas shipping is also included.
Of course, the most far-reaching significance is that it greatly strengthened the prestige of the People's Government, severely damaged foreign capital, enhanced the people's trust in the Chinese People's Party, especially the intellectuals who are the vanguard of the working class, and finally united in the People's Party. around.

Chapter 732 A battle on the economic front
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
On the surface, this economic war is about the economy, but in fact it is a political war. It is no exaggeration to describe it as having far-reaching consequences. The foreign bourgeoisie finally learned about Zhang Hanqing's skills and were surprised by the strength displayed by the government of the Republic of China.
“However, Zhang Hanqing did not give up when things got better. His eyes have turned to the issue of tariff autonomy.
When Beijing announced "tariff autonomy", it required Chinese customs, led by Shanghai Customs, to impose a 300% special tariff on imported rice, completely shutting out the country's large amounts of rice hoarded overseas—— Since you want to buy rice, then save the high-priced rice and eat it slowly!
Since the young marshal firmly and faithfully fulfilled the daily distribution of affordable rice by the government to citizens, people have jumped into the Huangpu River one after another. First, there was a small group of unscrupulous traders with small capital, and then even the head of the Yu family, the most famous food king in Shanghai, met the Dragon King alone one night. In the end, there was a rare incident of a foreigner jumping into the river.
From this we can see the miserable situation they were forced into!
But this is not worthy of sympathy. It is better to cry than to cry as a family. If they win, the citizens of Shanghai will cry!
The rice war between China and foreign countries caused the British and Japanese capitalists to lose face and suffer heavy losses. What is particularly important is that this battle boosted the morale of the Chinese people and made the country's cohesion and sense of honor unprecedentedly strong, profoundly weakening the power of imperialism in China.
But after all, China is a traditional agricultural country. After the central government controls the power of domestic grain production and sales, it is not a good idea to continue to use grain to fight against the central government. The British and Japanese governments were not willing to admit defeat in such a dejected manner. They found the weakness of China's industry, especially Shanghai's, which was cotton as an industrial raw material.
Without cotton, more than two million spindles in Shanghai would not be able to operate, and the world's textile capital would not be able to produce the goods it deserves, and the economy would be paralyzed. The raw materials were concentrated in the hands of British and Japanese capitalists.
Zhang Hanqing doesn’t believe in this evil.
In terms of the national economy, the People’s Party implements nationalization and public ownership of important materials. Due to China's vast territory, imperialism has never been able to fully colonize China.
In this time and space, due to the sudden rise of the People's Party and the public ownership of land, the state has controlled most of the food and cash crops. Just because of the limitations of geographical conditions and transportation facilities, a large part of the resources cannot be shared effectively. For example, cotton is not lacking in Xinjiang, but there is too much to transport to the coast.
The power of the country is amazing! Zhang Hanqing ordered the governments of Shaanxi, Gansu and New Zealand to use all means to gather a large number of important materials and export them to the eastern coast through the Longhai Line and the Beijing-Shanghai Railway.
He actively assisted industry and commerce in resuming work and overcoming difficulties. Those who are short of funds will be given loans, and those who are short of raw materials will be given raw materials.
Guo Dihuo, general manager of Yong'an Cotton Mill, had more than 3 million kilograms of cotton and 10,000 spindles of Swiss textile machinery stranded in foreign production areas and could not be transported. Zhang Hanqing specifically asked the banks, railways, and trade departments to provide full assistance, and even sent a special train to Hong Kong | After trying every possible means to transport, all the raw cotton and textile machinery were finally transported to Shanghai.
Another example is that the finished gauze cannot be shipped out and is unsalable. The market price of each piece of 20-count yarn is only 110,000 yuan (lower than the cost), so the state purchases it for 120,000 yuan Patriotic private industry and commerce can truly feel the support of the state.
The Song and Sheng families also clearly supported Zhang Hanqing’s patriotic actions in this struggle. Through their connections in the United States, the Song family purchased some urgently needed industrial raw materials for Shanghai, allowing Shanghai to smoothly overcome the initial difficulties; the Sheng family used its own channels to open a raw material supply chain from Wuhan to Shanghai. It has effectively supported the Shanghai Municipal Government's battle for primary raw materials.
As a result of the anti-blockade struggle, only 40% of the textile industry was operating in mid-June, and it reached more than 90% by August. The output of private yarn mills increased by 75%, and the machinery industry was originally operating at 20%. Due to the increasing number of orders from Xinjiang, , increased to 60%. Shanghai's industry finally struggled out of the depression and difficulties and embarked on a recovery.
What is the significance of this victory? Zhang Hanqing said: "The imperialists once said contemptuously that the People's Party can only manage the countryside and fight wars, but has no talents and is inefficient in managing the cities; managing the economy is doomed to make a mess. Facts have proved that we can definitely learn to swim, Swim to the other side and swim faster than them!”
Another important significance is the political impact after the Song family reached an agreement with the United States.
Because the United States occupies a neutral position of "mediation", it can easily gain the trust of the Republic of China government and, to a large extent, replace the British position in China.
In this way, there were cracks between Britain and the United States due to the dispute over China's dominance, which ultimately played an important role in Zhang Hanqing's rapid, proper and unilateral handling of the "May 30th Massacre".
Taking the "May 30th Massacre" as an opportunity, Zhang Hanqing lost no time in putting forward the famous saying "If you fall behind, you will be beaten" and called on Shanghai citizens to actively subscribe for national debt for the development and growth of the country, so as to help the country raise funds and concentrate on doing big things. industry. In addition, in order to restore the silver dollar's basic currency status as soon as possible and stabilize the financial market, the People's Party mobilized the masses to preach the significance of gold control and its strong relationship with the country.
This time, the Song and Sheng families still came to the rescue. This time the Sheng family was in the limelight because their family's financial resources were astonishing, and they mainly relied on real money.
It was surprising that the Sheng family, known for its stinginess and extravagance, worked so hard, but insiders believed that this was a complete bet on the young marshal. Sheng Aiyi also sold headdresses for her wedding, which was highly praised by Zhang Hanqing. It is said that He promised to buy one for her personally.
Song Meiling does not have the financial resources of Sheng Aiyi, but she is born with excellent motivational ability! In order to gain Zhang Hanqing's approval, she published articles in newspapers every day and gave speeches in crowd gatherings, trying her best to promote Zhang Hanqing's big plan.
"Shanghai Shuangshu has considerable popularity and appeal. They work so hard. Although they may be suspected of being self-serving and half-public, they are beneficial to economic stability in general.
Their actions are very effective. Women are not allowed to show off to men, which makes men feel ashamed and guilty - they have given up their dowry for the sake of the country, what else do we have to miss? shameful!
Driven by the unprecedented patriotic enthusiasm of the people, the Shanghai Provincial Financial and Economic Commission collected more than 1 million taels of gold, 30 million U.S. dollars in banknotes, and countless silver in just one month, greatly filling the national treasury and achieving unprecedented achievements in many years. This is an amazing achievement that even the government has failed to achieve.
Many families have exchanged their family treasures passed down from their ancestors for silver dollars or treasury bonds. Some ordinary female workers were not spared even gold earrings and actively requested exchanges. This fully reflects the Chinese people's hope for a strong country and their trust in the current government. Affection.
With such people and such a government, China will definitely become strong again!
Of course, safeguarding sovereignty and national dignity is not blindly xenophobic. Before entering Shanghai, Zhang Hanqing emphasized this point to the takeover cadres: We must protect law-abiding foreigners, and treat foreign-owned enterprises differently in accordance with the central government's policies and gradually take them over, with a time sequence and methods such as confiscation and agency operation. Escrow, consideration transfer, etc.
For electricity, water, public transportation and industries and commerce that are beneficial to the national economy and people’s livelihood, Chinese workers must be mobilized to unite with foreign workers to continue production and operations. This makes the takeover stable and orderly, and the struggle reasonable, beneficial and measured.
But it is different for gambling businesses run by foreign owners such as horse racing halls and dog racing tracks. Their operations are prohibited and not confiscated. Only high land value taxes are levied.
Less than a year later, the British boss couldn't bear it anymore and requested that the property rights of the racecourse be handed over to the people's government free of charge. Zhang Hanqing personally participated in the design and planning, and built the grassy People's Park to the north and the People's Square to the south.
??Similarly, the dog running track was later turned into a cultural square, the French nightclub was turned into a cultural club, and Hartung Garden was turned into the Shanghai Exhibition Hall. One after another, the blood-sucking dens and prostitution venues set up by foreign capitalists have returned to the hands of the people, turning decay into new life. This is something for later, so I won’t mention it for now.
From early summer to the coming of autumn, after experiencing the anti-blockade struggle and experiencing three major price fluctuations, Shanghai’s economy is gradually moving towards recovery and development.
In order to finally add some obstacles to China's economic recovery, the British Navy conducted an artillery exercise on the Huangpu River in an ingenious manner. Originally, the Shanghai industrial and commercial community had been quite enthusiastic about subscribing for public bonds after the May 30th Massacre. But once the cannons of the British warships were fired, everything was in vain. It seems that they have not suffered enough losses on the Huangpu River. The Chinese army must keep up!
In order to prevent the newly restored production confidence from being hit and prevent the resurgence of Anglo-Japanese disease, Zhang Hanqing specially convened a meeting with celebrities from the industrial and commercial circles on the evening of August 15.
He said bluntly: "You have no reason to be frightened by the cannons of the British and Japanese imperialists, otherwise you will fall into their trap. You should quickly discuss with the factory workers to resume production. We are responsible for restoring the power plant. Of course there are many difficulties, which must be solved through unity and cooperation.”
Then he said encouragingly in a tone full of confidence: "Our industrialists and the country's industrial scale have made considerable progress since the Republic of China. We cannot belittle ourselves and must work together with the people of the city and the whole country!"
It seems that the British are also at the end of their rope. They have repeatedly tried to intimidate, negotiate, and intimidate, but there are still no new tricks available. Still want to scare people with this trick? Okay, I'll scare you too!
After two consecutive days of arrangements, in the early morning of the 18th, people who got up early to work suddenly discovered that in the east of the Huangpu River, hundreds of cannons were lined up and aimed at the river, and tens of thousands of People's Army soldiers were on the public streets. Military preparations were made on the opposite side of the concession.
This was put together by recruiting eight artillery regiments and two infantry divisions from four armies. Due to the suddenness of the incident, looking at the dark muzzles, the British thought that this was the beginning of a fight. They alerted everyone. The Japanese, French, American consular groups all ran to ask Zhang Hanqing about their purpose.
Zhang Hanqing smiled heartily and said: "Military parade!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)On the other side, tens of thousands of People's Army soldiers carried out military preparations opposite the public concession.

The British people who overreacted were ridiculed by their colleagues, but they had nothing to do with the young marshal, a hero who did not follow common sense: I am on my own territory, and I can't bring my own soldiers over to play, right? Look how scared you are!
But on the other hand, the British are certainly not as arrogant as they appear, otherwise the reputation of the empire on which the sun never sets would not make them so arrogant.
As the heavily armed People's Army marched majestically through Pudong, and the row of five-kilometer-long cannons moved, the noise in the Shanghai market became much quieter. You have warships, we have cannons, we are facing each other, who is afraid of whom? Who is the young marshal? That is the character who will beat up all tigers at home and abroad who dare to block the way!
“Well, it’s true. In the process of the rise of the Feng Clan, they fought against the Russians (not the Soviet Union), the Japanese, the Anhui Clique, the Zhili Clique, Sun Dapao, the National Army, various warlords, and not long ago the British They did this when they were weak, but now Even more amazing.
"Ship-based guns are messy, inaccurate, and occupy the waterway." Land artillery has a great advantage over ships in the Yangtze River environment. Historically, in duels between naval artillery and land artillery, if there are no other factors, the naval artillery must suffer.
Otherwise, the "Gardev" would not have surrendered quickly even after the captain was killed, because it would be too slow to fight with land artillery in a narrow channel, even if the caliber of the People's Army artillery is much smaller than It——Although the other party cannot inflict a fatal blow to oneself, the feeling of being covered in wounds is definitely uncomfortable.
On August 30, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Shanghai held a grand parade to commemorate the "May 30th Massacre". Zhang Hanqing's military uniforms were neatly reviewed on the stage. He has now been hailed as "China's national hero" and "the backbone of the Chinese nation". He is sought after by countless people and is also the object of many girls' dreams. It is the time when he is in high spirits.
Facing the countless cheering crowds on both sides of the road, on the one hand, I felt majestic and comforted; on the other hand, I felt the heavy pressure on my shoulders, and I deeply realized the profound meaning of "living high in the temple, worrying about the people".
I just did a little bit of what I should do as a government leader, and yet I got such strong love from the people. As a ruler, what reason do we have to violate, deviate from, or deceive such expectations? Now, it is just a small step towards the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the people, he deeply understood the meaning of what a good prime minister of later generations said at a press conference: "No matter whether there is an abyss or a minefield ahead, I will not look back and move forward courageously."
The people have such trust that it feels like a heavy responsibility is on their shoulders, like a lump in their throats.
When the parade was halfway through, there was a sudden commotion in front. It turned out that a Japanese driver drove into the parade without permission, blocked its progress, and resisted the traffic police's intervention arrogantly, causing public outrage among the masses.
This is a very bad incident. It coincides with "Prince" Zhang's parade. It is a slap in the face for his demonstration! If you forget it tepidly, half a year of hard work will be ruined!
Zhang Hanqing decisively ordered: "Detain them before we talk! Regardless of whether the Japanese or the British have violated Chinese laws in China, they can be punished!" In full view of the public, not to mention causing a diplomatic spat between China and Japan, it was immediately There's no point in starting a war over this!
To be a human being, one must have backbone! Xiao Zhang also wants to save face!
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As soon as Zhang Hanqing decided to arrive, the Japanese quickly kicked him from nowhere. With just one kick, he lay down like a dead pig.
Before he could struggle, several people rushed out from the crowd like a pack of wolves attacking sheep, and they took care of him in a few seconds. The Japanese man was still shouting "Bage Yalu", but he was immediately punched so hard that several of his teeth fell out, and the blood mixed with it spilled on the ground. This kick and punch were so heavy. Under this kind of force retaliation, the Japanese no longer had the arrogance they had before.
Witnessing the patriotic "feat" of Chinese soldiers, the onlookers cheered and beat drums in unison, giving this epidemic a good start.
It is understood that this Japanese is the former deputy consul general of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai. If in the past, a fight between Chinese and Japanese personnel occurred, the Chinese government would definitely apologize. Once a major incident like this involving diplomats is reported to the press, the Central People's Government will step in to "properly" resolve it. But when he met Prince Zhang, who was known for his power and scheming, all the rules changed.
The former deputy consul was detained, and the Japanese government strangely did not make any of the remarks that have always shocked Chinese officials and people, nor did it ask for "immunity" through diplomatic means. Instead, it maintained rare silence. The perpetrator Also oldHonestly hand over a "letter of apology" to the Chinese personnel.
The news was published and immediately caused a sensation. China, the Eastern sleeping lion, has awakened and cannot be bullied. Shanghai citizens clapped their hands and cheered: "In the past, the Japanese had to cry to the sky when they drove someone to death. Now the Japanese consul has to be punished if he breaks the law. The People's Government is ambitious!"
The political mobilization reached its climax at a gathering of all walks of life in Shanghai to commemorate the compatriots who died in the "May 30th Massacre". Zhang Hanqing used an impassioned speech to call on the 3 million people of Shanghai to "withstand the test of the British and Japanese siege and stand up more bravely!"
After this, there was a new upsurge in the subscription of public bonds. The cotton textile industry alone in the industrial and commercial circles oversubscribed 720,000 bonds, and the application system subscribed for 500,000 bonds. When the Nanyang Rubber Factory was producing men's shoes, the water tank ran out of water, so the workers carried buckets of water from the well to ensure production. Due to the lack of electricity, the factory only worked three nights a week. Workers consciously rushed to work, and the output increased by 25% compared to the previous full working hours
Negotiations are on the table, and games are played outside. The British saw that they were unable to put economic pressure on the Chinese government. Instead, they seriously damaged their own interests and had their influence in China expelled. As a last resort, under the mediation of the United States, China and Britain held the fifth negotiation on October 16.
In fact, for the Sino-British negotiations, the delegation headed by Zhang Hanqing did not ask for many benefits——under the overall situation, it is not in China's fundamental interest to offend British and American forces prematurely. Although Zhang Hanqing made a high-profile claim to take back all the concessions, then It is just a gesture in the current situation where the nationalist movement is booming in the country.
The reluctance to make a big move on this matter is actually due to Zhang Hanqing's careful consideration: it is impossible to completely take back all the concessions at this stage, because there is a game of national power here.
For Britain, honorably guaranteeing its interests in China is a major issue that affects its global colonial leadership. It is easy to force British forces out of mainland China, but what is difficult is how to face a comprehensive counterattack by Britain - for a country like Britain As a big country, it cannot remain indifferent in the face of the domino effect of the possible collapse of its colonial system. In any case, it is bound to fight hard. This is not the situation Zhang Hanqing wants.
In addition, China is not ready at this stage to resist the inevitable result of Japan taking the opportunity to occupy the power vacuum left by the British - rejecting the wolf with the front foot and facing the tiger with the back foot is not his original intention.
On the contrary, keeping British power in China has great benefits at this stage: the presence of Britain and the United States in East and South China greatly restricts Japan's direct military power in eastern and southern China. Under the current situation that China's naval power is still very weak, Objectively, it has temporarily guaranteed the security of most of China's maritime borders and bought time for China's subsequent comprehensive construction.
In North China, Japan's power is still very small - since Japanese power was forced to withdraw from Jiaodong, only the Tianjin Japanese Concession in North China is still under its control.
But Zhang Hanqing must also give China at least some dignity on the table: in China, which is poor and weak, nothing can excite the Chinese people more than winning foreign diplomacy.
Whether the Chinese people can hold their heads high at this negotiation table will also test the prestige of the People's Party and Zhang Hanqing, especially now that the people of the country have the consciousness of national sovereignty and independence, and the abolition of all unequal treaties and concessions. Clarify perspectives and goals.
So the best outcome is that the Chinese people get dignity and the British government also gets dignity.
The so-called "stop when you see good things".
But just as Zhang Hanqing was trying to end this long and unresolved tug-of-war as quickly as possible with the Chinese government and to a degree he could accept, a plot against him was underway.
The protagonist of this play is Song Ziwen.
Being completely refuted in front of the goddess in my mind, what’s even more hateful is that this incident has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Shanghai. I can’t bear this tone no matter what.
But you have to endure it. Although the young marshal's private life seems to be disorderly, he is a man who does not stick to trivial matters, and people mostly see his efforts to get justice for the Chinese people who were harmed in the May 30th Incident. His uncompromising attitude towards the outside world, his "love for the people like his own children" at home, and his methods of stabilizing Shanghai's economy are all inspiring to conscientious Chinese people.
If Song Ziwen dared to challenge him head on, he would definitely run away in embarrassment in the spit of the whole people. Even if he is Sun Yat-sen's brother-in-law, the Kuomintang would not dare to risk the world's disapproval at this time. After all, Chinese people have always made a clear distinction between personal grudges and national justice.
Is there any way to vent this anger? Song Ziwen turned his attention to the underworld. In Shanghai, there is basically no family that does not have some relationship with the underworld. It's impossible to hang out here without knowing some people. When the former Sun Yat-sen was under the banner, he had contacts with many gang bosses.
Among the most powerful eldest brothers in Shanghai, Huang Huangrong, the leader of the "Three Green Gang tycoons", has completely compromised with the People's Party and announced his decision to cooperate with the People's Party to all his subordinates. He is naturally unreliable; Du Yuesheng was killed by Zhang Hanqing He was so excited by national justice that he didn't know what was going on, and there was no need to expect a heated fight with him. Zhang Xiaolin and Du Yuesheng had a good personal relationship, so they were also excluded.
The only other person who has some talent is Wang Yaqiao of the Ax Gang, who is brave enough to achieve great things. Song Ziwen contacted him through acquaintances.

At this time, Wang Yaqiao had already formed a faction of his own. Even Du Yuesheng, who was running rampant on the beach without scruples, was surrounded by his mansion and retreated. He repeatedly said to his subordinates: "Don't mess with Wang Yaqiao, he is a desperado. When you meet such a short-legged guy, , must not act rashly" And Huang Jinrong also said: "When it comes to the Ax Party, one more thing is worse than one less thing, hide if you can."
Even gamblers swear when they swear in the casino: "Which bad guy is a renegade, let him go out and meet Wang Laojiu (Wang Yaqiao)"
??????????????? Wang Yaqiao is a man of loyalty and has the spirit of a Liangshan hero. He specializes in fighting injustices, hoeing the strong and supporting the weak. He is famous in Shanghai. He is born with a mentality of contempt for the powerful, and only he can face the young marshal's heavy guards calmly, and then give him justice, right?
Song Ziwen personally asked him to meet at the Peace Hotel. That morning, Wang Yaqiao was wearing a short black mandarin jacket and sunglasses, looking very capable.
The guests and hosts sat down. Wang Yaqiao sat down with a golden sword, slapped his hand on the chair, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Song invited me to come to deal with Zhang Hanqing. Why?"
Song Ziwen had already written a draft: "He bullied others and robbed my girlfriend; he already had a family and forced my sister; and when the country was in crisis, he only cared about wine and sex and had no intention of serving the country or the people. I invited Jiu Ye here today to give him A lesson!"
Wang Yaqiao is not without any brains, otherwise he would not have made future generations of Chiang Kai-shek sleepless. He chuckled and said: "Young Marshal and I are old acquaintances. I saved his life in Beijing, and later I also helped him with some small favors and had friendships with several people in the People's Army.
To say that the young marshal is obsessed with wine and sex, I believe this, he has tasted the world of mortals since he was a teenager; but to say that he has no heart for the country and the people is biased, and the British were forced to jump into the river this time The story is not false. It is true that he withstood the pressure of the British and Japanese for the victims of Shanghai.
This is the first time I have seen such an official in all these years. Although I can't bear to see soldiers interfering in politics, I can calmly delegate power to him. This kind of broad-mindedness is very rare. At least no warlord I've ever met can compare to him. "
Hearing that he wanted to give up, Song Ziwen was anxious: "He is in his position and seeks his own government. The people in Shanghai are so angry that he can only conform to the public opinion. Maybe he has contributed a lot to the country, but he relies on strength." It’s true that you stole my girlfriend and my girl, doesn’t anyone dare to take care of it?”
Wang Yaqiao was still tepid: "But these things that came out of the Sheng family don't seem to be as you said, they were robbed for the young marshal. At least they were willing to fight and suffer. As far as I know, the seventh lady of the Sheng family We are not engaged to you, so you can’t blame anyone else for their affair. As for your sister, she is Mr. Sun’s sister-in-law. She hit it off with the young marshal, and it was written in the newspapers. This has nothing to do with robbery, right?"
"As for saying you don't dare to take care of it, that's not necessarily the case - you don't need to provoke me." He said lightly.
Song Ziwen was already discouraged. Hearing this was like taking a stimulant, and he immediately became energetic: "What should I say?"
Wang Yaqiao thought for a while and said: "I will make an exception to help you once and just give him a warning. If the effect is not effective, just ignore it."
Song Ziwen was full of joy, as long as he could express his anger, he wanted to thank Wang Yaqiao deeply. Unexpectedly, Wang Yaqiao turned his face and said: "I took over this matter for the sake of my sister. Don't think too much about it. After you, don't ask anyone to take the young commander's advice, otherwise, even I won't be able to do it." I’ll tolerate you!”
Women are just trivial matters, and running the country is the main road. Wang Yaqiao still has great ideas on major issues. He still thinks that Zhang Hanqing is still the resourceful and alert young man in Beijing. It is normal to like women. After all, how much older is he now
Now, Zhang Hanqing, with the remaining power of his father, has full authority to handle important foreign-related matters in Shanghai. Although he has done very well in the past, he cannot be discouraged by women!
Therefore, both as an acquaintance and as a citizen, we have an obligation to keep him on the right track. As for using the gun, there was no need to think about it: I guess the British hated him so much that they wanted to get rid of him quickly. He was not a traitor, so he had done things that foreigners could not do! He warned Song Ziwen because he was afraid that Song Ziwen would find someone else afterwards, and that he might not be as "easy to talk to" as he was
Wang Yaqiao’s method was very direct. He sent a bullet directly to Zhang Hanqing and attached a note: “Do more state affairs and touch less women!”
This warning made the Central Guard Corps feel like it was facing a formidable enemy. Jiang Huanan even asked Zhang Tingshu to mobilize the special operations brigade under the Shanghai Armed Police Corps to add an additional layer of insurance in addition to the usual security layer.
Zhang Hanqing didn’t care. In his opinion, the other party didn’t seem to want to attack him, otherwise there would be no need to do this.Warning is meaningless. And reading between the lines, he really admired what he did in Shanghai, but it only involved some love affairs However, looking at this note, he suddenly had an idea.
On September 15, on the eve of routine negotiations between China and Britain, Zhang Hanqing was assassinated on his way from Zhabei to the Peace Hotel. It is said that the other party fired three shots in a row. Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing's guard was alert and pushed the young marshal away in time to narrowly avoid it. The gunman successfully escaped into the public concession.
This matter immediately escalated, and the entire Shanghai Black and White Road was shocked, including Wang Yaqiao.
"Who did this? Did Song Ziwen entrust another killer?" This was his first thought.
"This Master Jiu is so brave. He said he would take action but he actually took action!" Song Ziwen, who had recovered from his nerves, regretted his impulsive decision. Assassinating the leader of the Kuomintang was neither simple nor easy. He was a little scared, wondering if Wang Yaqiao would turn him in if things turned out.
The Shanghai Navy Management Committee searched for the murderers throughout the city, and the Shanghai garrison and the Yangtze River Fleet also took action after hearing the police and surrounded the concession. On the same day, under the propaganda of the People's Party, people from all walks of life in Shanghai became excited and pointed their fingers at the British.
Naturally, the door to Sino-British negotiations must have been shut. The top representative in charge of the Chinese negotiations, Foreign Minister Gu Weijun, said in a message to the diplomatic missions of various countries: "Assassinating young marshals is despised by the political circles of all countries; for the British to do this, What do you want to do? For the dignity of the Chinese leader, I will never regret it even if I die."
This is officially targeting the British.
“In fact, as soon as the gunshots were fired, British Charge d’Affaires in China Bill Ballard knew something was wrong. At this sensitive moment, how could anyone be stupid enough to assassinate the leader of China? On the one hand, he urgently communicated with Minister Max Lei, Consul Smith of the Concession, and Consul Barton in Shanghai to inquire about the truth of the incident; on the other hand, he urgently wanted to meet with Zhang Hanqing to express his harmless stance.
But the British searched and searched, and they didn't know who did it. Naturally, Bullard's idea of ??meeting Zhang Hanqing was shattered, because Jiang Huanan, Zhang Hanqing's chief of bodyguards and head of the Central Guard Corps, who greeted him, had no idea at all. He told him with a good face: "The young marshal is unwell, and none of the British people are missing!"
Almost at the same time, garrisons from all over Tianjin and Guangdong were moving towards the British Concession. Zhang Zuolin told reporters from various countries in Beijing with murderous intent: "If the British do not hand over the killer of Xiao Liuzi, Feng Jun will not hesitate to fight." . Anyway, we are already at odds with each other, so who is afraid of whom?"
The newly appointed U.S. Minister to China, Ma Murray, has done a lot of work for this. He said during the mediation: "The identity of the assassin has not yet been revealed, and rashly targeting the British as suspects will do more harm than good to ease the current situation. We can form a team." Only the joint investigation team will deal with the assassination of the young marshal, but this should not affect the current negotiations - after several months of tug-of-war, Shanghai's economic situation has deteriorated, and all countries have been affected."
Privately, he had some suspicions that it was the British who did it: the young marshal attacked from the north and the south, which made the British tired to deal with it. The key is that his huge influence successfully incited and united the Chinese people, which made the British very intolerable. They don't dare to fight, and they can't afford to spend money. It's hard to guarantee that they won't come up with evil ideas.
Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated, triggering the First World War; Zhang Hanqing's influence among the Chinese people was enough for him to dare to provoke a war, if he was young and energetic and did not think about the consequences. And Zhang Zuolin, who has a certain strength, seems to be a little inflated. The father and son are singing and singing, and it is not clear what will happen in the future, but in the short term, the People's Army can wipe out all British forces in China!
No matter who wins or loses, Japan will be the winner in the end. Because in order to maximize victory, Britain must find a helper around China. In this way, the "British-Japanese Alliance" that has been successfully disintegrated by the United States may resurrect. The "Washington Treaty" will be a piece of waste paper, the US's checks and balances over the years will be ineffective, and East Asia will once again be in an era of turmoil and uncertainty.
Thinking about it this way, the Japanese also had a great motive for committing the crime.
The most worrying thing is whether the Soviet Union will take this opportunity to pull China into the embrace of communism? What a terrifying scene it will be when the old Soviet Empire and China with a huge population will be combined! In any case, he must prevent the conflict between China and Britain from expanding.
France, Italy, Belgium and other countries are also paying attention to the evolution of the situation. After urgent communication with the United States, they unanimously asked the United Kingdom to make concessions in the negotiations in exchange for China's cold treatment of the assassination of the young marshal.
Only Wang Yaqiao was shocked after receiving the news: "I only sent someone to send a threatening letter. Could it be that Song Ziwen also got help from others through other channels? This is not good: the young marshal may have personal problems, but the overall situation is I am always trying to save my country's face. If the matter is brought out, won't I be called a traitor by my countrymen! If a man dies, his ears will be dead, but he can't be an accomplice of foreign enemies without thinking, otherwise he will not be able to enter his ancestral graves after his death! "
With this idea in mind, Wang Yaqiao took the initiative to contact the Shanghai Investigation Department of the People's Party and explained the matter of Song Ziwen in detail. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)If you act carelessly and become an accomplice of the foreign enemy, you will not be able to enter the ancestral graves after your death! "

As an "imperial prisoner", Wang Yaqiao did not suffer because of his fame and his friendship with the People's Party.
"Nine masters, are you okay?" Zhang Hanqing met Wang Yaqiao in person.
"If you don't dare to be Lord Jiu, the young marshal can just call me Jiu Guang." After several years of not seeing each other, Zhang Hanqing has matured into a leader of the party and the country. With such great power and fame, even an arrogant Wang Yaqiao would not dare to stand in front of him. Toda.
"Then let's talk about friendship. You are a few years older than me. I will call you brother nine." Zhang Hanqing is a nostalgic person, and he always remembers his kindness to Wang Yaqiao in his heart. Not to mention how much he was to himself, he also helped a lot during the most critical period for the growth of the Feng family, and this favor should be repaid.
"I was the one who sent the bullets, but the shooting had nothing to do with me! I'm not afraid" Wang Yaqiao was very single. The young marshal in front of him was in high spirits, and he did not look like he had been attempted assassination at all. Of course, Wang Yaqiao would not think otherwise. Instead, he thought that this was a young commander with the air of a general. The so-called Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his appearance.
"I believe you." Zhang Hanqing expressed his position directly without waiting for him to finish his explanation.
Wang Yaqiao was surprised and wanted to ask but hesitated. He is a straight-tempered person and doesn't want to keep things in his heart that he doesn't understand. When Zhang Hanqing saw him, he only said one sentence: "Because I believe in Brother Jiuguang's character!"
One sentence made Wang Yaqiao's blood boil, although he was already past the age where his blood boiled because of one sentence.
"Back then, I endured humiliation and ambushed President Yuan Gu, but Brother Jiuguang saved my life for the sake of national justice; now what I am doing is to benefit the country and the people and resist foreign aggression, and Brother Jiuguang will not be indifferent to right from wrong." Zhang Hanqing said that he felt that his image instantly became taller.
This big hat fit perfectly on Wang Yaqiao's head. He couldn't help but nodded and agreed with Zhang Hanqing's statement. Maybe, deep down in his heart, he just didn't bother to take action because Zhang Hanqing was still a little kid. Later, when he saved him, he just didn't feel resentful that the other party would do something to a child. Who would have known that his friendship with Feng Xi would begin from this point on.
"But I believe that Song Ziwen didn't hire someone to do the shooting. From what I know, he didn't have the courage." Wang Yaqiao was not loyal and confessed to his employer. He said that he was not ashamed to be a lie. Of course, he was not excusing Song Ziwen, but because of his understanding of him. "I will continue to pay attention to this matter and see who is responsible for it!"
Zhang Hanqing still said the same heart-warming words: "I believe you." But he added: "Let this matter end here, and you should not get involved." He said with an unpredictable smile. : "At least before the truth is discovered, I have to blame the British for this!"
Wang Yaqiao seemed to understand and left, with Zhang Hanqing's request to stay out of the matter. When it comes to playing with knives and guns, Zhang Hanqing may not be his opponent, but when it comes to politics and diplomacy, I don't think he is worthy enough to carry the opponent's shoes. He needs to be self-aware.
He was relieved, but the Song family was in a state of panic.
The reason is that on a bustling noon, serious-looking staff from the Shanghai Investigation Department of the People's Party took away the panicked Song Ziwen from Song's house. He didn't even have time to eat lunch.
When Soong Ching Ling, the second sister in charge of the family, questioned angrily, the staff simply said: "He is the suspect suspected of shooting the young marshal!" Her anger immediately disappeared and was replaced by deep worry and shock.
How could such a thing happen! No matter how hurt your love is, eldest brother won’t make such a move, right? To do such a thing is to force Song Ziwen, the Song family, and even the Kuomintang into a corner! However, from Song Ziwen's panicked expression, the sisters concluded that this matter was troublesome.
Confused! Soong Ching Ling was completely defeated. At this time, with the IQ of the three sisters of the Song family, they had clearly realized that although the assassination was unsuccessful and Song Ziwen's role in it was unknown, the Kuomintang and the young marshal could definitely take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble! With Song Ziwen's status and the influence of the Song family in the Kuomintang, the Kuomintang wants to make a big move against the Kuomintang. This is a very good opportunity!
The dispute between the Kuomintang and the People's Party is a national and family matter. In any case, such a thing cannot happen when the country is negotiating with the British and the young marshal is watching to resolve the May 30 Incident. It will cause pain to relatives and happiness to enemies, and will seriously affect It damaged the prestige of the Kuomintang and put the Song family to death. With this incident alone, the People's Party was enough to drive the Kuomintang into dust, if the latter did not cut ties with Song Ziwen.
In fact, the Kuomintang made a statement immediately after Song Ziwen was arrested, and its Shanghai party headquarters has already made subtle cuts. Saving one person to save the whole party is a consensus from top to bottom - Sun Yat-sen has passed away, and no one will give up their political future to protect the Song family. Due to the good relationship between the Song family and Britain and the United States, this matter?It has nothing to do with Song Ziwen, and even the insiders don’t believe it.
But Song Qingling insisted that Song Ziwen was wrongly accused, and sent a lawyer to follow up. She personally called the Marshal's office in Shanghai to visit him, but was politely refused by the other party's staff.
Taking Song Ziwen away was very secretive, but the news spread throughout Shanghai almost overnight.
Since the People’s Party has always used the fact that the assassin was sent by the British as a bargaining chip to put pressure on the British, the matter of Song Ziwen has not been made public. But insiders all know that this is just an approach that takes the overall situation into consideration. If the People's Party does not say anything, it does not mean that Song Ziwen has not done it.
Because there is news that Song Ziwen has personally admitted that he bought "murder" and sent bullets to Zhang Hanqing - there was physical evidence, but he did not admit the shooting. I think he also understands the seriousness of the matter. But even so, it is reasonable and legal for the People's Party's special intelligence department to detain Song Ziwen. It depends on how to deal with it later.
"How could Ziwen (eldest brother) do this!" The three sisters of the Song family really have the generosity to lament their misfortune and be angry at them. They say beauty brings disaster, but for Sheng Aiyi, she made such a big fuss. No matter what happens in the end, the Song family will never agree to anything between the two of them. Now it seems that the young commander is right to fight for love!
Song Ziwen has been detained for a whole day, and there is no news at all. All the news coming out from the outside is bad.
??This matter is not a trivial matter after all. At the least, Song Ziwen's reputation will be ruined, and at the worst, the entire family will be buried with it, and it may even implicate the Kuomintang. Although Soong Ching Ling had great prestige within the Kuomintang, she did not dare to put pressure on the Kuomintang under the pressure of public opinion that she would become an accomplice of the British. In terms of the overall situation, the motherland has its principled side.
But the eldest sister Song Ailing finally couldn't bear it any longer. She went around urging Song Meiling, who had a good relationship with the young marshal, to see if she could find a solution in other ways.
At first, Song Meiling was still angry about Zhang Hanqing's assassination. She was deeply in love and cared about Zhang Hanqing more than anything else. But when Song Ziwen was arrested, she was confused. How could this happen?
"Of course she didn't know that Zhang Hanqing was just pretending - using such a clumsy trick to deal with his love rival, he wouldn't be so mean. As for using this to lure the Kuomintang into trouble, he would rather defeat it openly. He did this just to build momentum and pave the way for subsequent negotiations with the British.
But Song Meiling was still a step late because someone was faster than her.
It was Sheng Aiyi. She came to the young marshal's office on the night Zhang Hanqing was assassinated, but was unable to see him as she wished because of the confusion. When Song Ziwen was arrested, she desperately wanted to see Zhang Hanqing.
"Ziwen is not such a person, he doesn't have the courage"
This statement made Zhang Hanqing very unhappy. No man would be willing to hear his lover speak for him after being hurt by his love rival. "You came here just to tell me this?"
Sheng Aiyi is a very smart person, and Zhang Hanqing immediately saw it with a calm look on her face: "I'm not excusing him. After all, I've known him for so many years, and if this matter is traced back to the source, I still have to be blamed It may be true that he arranged to send bullets to threaten , but if he was asked to pay for murder, he wouldn’t have the guts! He and I have nothing to do with each other anymore, but I don’t want you to wrongly blame him because of some prejudice and let the real murderer go"
Zhang Hanqing had no intention of doing anything to Song Ziwen, but what Sheng Aiyi said so considerately and rationally, especially when she resolutely and conscientiously distanced herself from the latter, made him feel very comfortable.
"If you want me to let him go, I will let him go" He said, I gave him a favor, but I have to let him go anyway, otherwise Soong Meiling alone would not look good. If Song Ziwen found out that Sheng Aiyi stood up for him, I wonder if he would still have the face to flirt with her again.
"From the perspective of the relationship between our family and the Song family, I hope you can let him go once. After all, the friendship between the older generations of the two families is still there; from the perspective of my relationship with Sister Meiling, I also hope you can let him go once." ——I don't want to be embarrassed when facing her in the future. But I support any decision you make" Sheng Aiyi said.
“Well, that’s good, that’s what a lady raised by a big family should say. Say what you need to say, and never break the rules that need to be followed. She did what she should do, and the final decision-making power was given to Zhang Hanqing.
If women do not participate in politics, the boundaries of large families will be clearer.
"I definitely couldn't spare him originally, but you have spoken. I will let him go this time, but I have to slow down and look at the situation. After all, there is always a reason to let him go, and I have to use this matter to do something. It's business." It's the hardest to accept the kindness of a beauty. Sheng Aiyi never said a word "let go", but soft words are more powerful than hard knives. Zhang Hanqing took advantage of the situation and showed his sentimental side.
“In fact, Song Ziwen must be released, not only because he knows that he was wronged, but also because of the current political situation.
The People's Party is in power, and other parties' claims that they are willing to surrender are definitely false. They are just forced by the situation and have to do so as a last resort. If the Feng faction wants to stabilize the overall situation and maintain control, it will take time.
As a "foreign relative" in the Kuomintang group, although Song Ziwen's line gradually declined after Sun Yat-sen's death, his nominal influence is still there. Although the party has been divided into three parties, controlled by Liao Zhongkai, Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin respectively, and seems to be fighting, if Song Ziwen is in trouble, it will inevitably arouse the common hatred among the three factions and attack the People's Party who is trying hard to divide them. On the contrary, it is not beautiful.
"Besides, there is obviously insufficient evidence for the assassination. Most people in Shanghai regard it as just a jealousy between men.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The concubine of Lang has no legal and moral constraints, the atmosphere is appropriate, and no one is disturbing Zhang Hanqing is confident enough to eat her up and wipe her clean. Shanghai socialites, the seventh lady of the Sheng family, and beauties in their prime are definitely a treat.
It was just a quick ringing of the phone that shattered this possibility.
People are not as good as God. Zhu Guangmu and the others had used various excuses to leave after Sheng Aiyi appeared, and declined all other interruptions. They just did not dial the phone line.
Looking at Sheng Aiyi who jumped away due to fright, Zhang Hanqing could only sigh: It came at the right time!
The ringing of the bell restored her from a silent lamb waiting to be slaughtered to the dignified and elegant seventh lady in Shanghai. In order to cover up this embarrassment, Sheng Aiyi chose to leave: "Young Marshal, you have something to do, so I will leave first."
As long as he fights for it, the two may still be able to have a relationship, but once the atmosphere is over, the opportunity is actually lost. Zhang Hanqing is indeed romantic, but he never forces himself on a woman. He just wants things to happen naturally and is unwilling to use force. Some things are better to be consensual. This is a kind of demeanor and a kind of romance.
Of course, you can’t help but answer the phone with gritted teeth: “Hello!”
If the other party didn't have something very urgent or important, he would definitely scold him on the phone, even if the other party was the mayor of Shanghai - of course, the current mayor is Hu Hanmin, a member of the Kuomintang, and he would start scolding him. There is absolutely no psychological burden.
There was no sound on the other end of the phone, or the sound was very slight.
"Who are you?" he continued to ask angrily. Next time, ask the general office to assign a special agent to filter out some unimportant calls. The brother below who had instinctively gained weight due to his reverie just now is still moving restlessly. If things continue like this, he will no longer be human! Of course, when arranging special tasks, you must consider it from the perspective of work. Otherwise, what would a group of secretaries be doing?
“Young Marshal, it’s me.”
Hearing this familiar voice, Zhang Hanqing’s unknown anger could no longer be unleashed. The call from the third lady of the Song family is about to come, but why is time so sensitive!
Song Meiling called herself personally, which was unexpected, but also reasonable. At this moment, maybe only you can save this future brother-in-law, right?
"Ms. Song? This is the first time I heard your voice on the phone. I recognized it as soon as I heard it, haha! How are you?" Zhang Hanqing pretended to be stupid. Of course, he was a mixture of surprise and joy. It was natural. It seems very friendly.
"I'm not good!" Song Meiling said directly. Both Shushu from Shanghai, she and Sheng Aiyi have very different personalities: Miss Sheng Qi is introverted and low-key, but she is pushy and politically sensitive. As soon as she heard about Song Ziwen, she and her eldest and second sisters immediately thought of putting out the fire. And she made the call right away without any advice from her two sisters.
"Hey, who dares to mess with you in Shanghai? Anyone who dares to do something bad to you, I will do something bad to him! Haha." Zhang Hanqing made a haha, and he was actually making a haha. Of course he knew her purpose for making this call, but he could only pretend to be stupid and could not admit that he knew about Song Ziwen. It would be a pity if I don’t become an actor! he thinks.
"Who dares to make you feel bad!" Song Meiling sighed leisurely, this time her tone was much gentler.
She is indeed a Shanghai socialite, and she knew it was bad as soon as she said the first sentence. Of course she was angry that her brother had been arrested, but she was facing Zhang Hanqing, the most powerful man in China, and her relationship with her was just a pleasant conversation that night, and the occasional fun getting along with her later. In terms of friendship, it's not that great. So, is it really okay to talk to the young commander like this?
"Ah? Did I offend the third lady?" Zhang Hanqing continued to act stupid.
"Don't take it seriously - if you are dissatisfied with me, you can do whatever you want, but what do you call it if you arrest my brother?" Song Meiling has not yet become the kind of calm and calm person she was later. told the incident.
"Who arrested your brother? Song Ziwen?" Zhang Hanqing asked "shocked".
Alas, it ’s a pity not to be a film emperor!
"Who else would it be if it weren't for him? Who else would it be if it weren't for you?" Song Meiling's words turned out to be very philosophical.
"Why should I arrest him?" Zhang Hanqing pretended to be dumbfounded: "He is a grown man, should I arrest him to be my wife?" He made a joke, but he was thinking in his heart: "If I want to arrest him, I will arrest you."
Song Meiling is young after all, but after being teased by Zhang Hanqing so continuously, she began to doubt: "You really don't know?"
The two elder sisters who were listening looked at each other, and questions came to their minds: "He doesn't know?"
"How could I know? I"These are all military and national affairs" When he said this, he rarely blushed, although Song Meiling couldn't see it. Frankly speaking, these days in Shanghai, especially later, he had a lot of free time every day. Otherwise, there would not have been rumors of an affair between the Shanghai couple and him.
Song Meiling believed it: "My brother was arrested by your people. People from the Investigation Department of the Shanghai Party Headquarters took him away from home, saying they were looking for someone to assassinate you."
"Is this happening? This shouldn't be possible, right? Let me ask about it!" Zhang Hanqing made the decision on the spot, only to slap his chest loudly.
Song Meiling burst into tears in a rare moment: "Of course it's impossible! Brother is angry that you have a close relationship with Miss Sheng, so he impulsively argued with you last time, but he doesn't have the guts to send someone to assassinate you. If he really wants to If you break the law, I won’t tolerate it!”
Zhang Hanqing took care of everything: "This matter is over here. Don't worry, for your relationship, no matter what the facts are, he will go home safely before dinner today!"
It’s something that needs to be let go anyway, why not be a bachelor and earn some friendship points.
The busy Song family gradually calmed down. Zhang Hanqing kept his word and there should be no repetition. But the fact that Soong Meiling had such a great reputation gave her eldest sister Soong Ailing an idea, and she and Soong Qingling glanced at each other in unison.
Before dinner, Song Ziwen was released and taken directly to the Song family in a car. Since he knew his own affairs, he thought it was Wang Yaqiao who sent someone to do it. Alas, Wang Yaqiao falsely claimed that he was the top tyrant in Shanghai. Who were these people he sent? They were revealed so quickly!
“However, he was also surprised by the elusive tactics of the People’s Party. Before he was suddenly released, the investigators knew exactly which day and where he met Wang Yaqiao. If he hadn't known Wang Tieqiao's personality, he would have even suspected that Wang Tieqiao betrayed him!
This time he still had to guess wrong, because it was Wang Yaqiao who gave him away in order to clear himself. Being a hero is important, but being a traitor is even more shameful. However, because of guilt, he felt that he had no face to see Song Ziwen, so he went to hide in his hometown in Anhui for several days, and never saw Song Ziwen again for the rest of his life. This is a story later.
In this regard, Walker, who has been following Wang Yaqiao for a long time and became an underground worker of the Chinese Communist Party in history, commented on him: "He neither practices Marxism-Leninism nor believes in God and the country. He has the idea of ??equality, sympathizes with the working people, and denies all authority. In order to save someone in trouble, he would not hesitate to spend all his money and money; after hearing a few compliments from others, he would also draw his sword to help, regardless of the consequences. He is a broad-minded and chaotic hero"
Don’t tell me, he really is.
Song Ziwen was released home, which did not mean that the case of assassinating the young marshal was over. On the contrary, public opinion continued to ferment. The British were trying their best to explain that they were not the instigators of this incident, but there was always a halo of conspiracy theories hanging over them. This makes them feel less confident when facing Chinese negotiators. The results of the negotiations were ultimately tilted towards conditions favorable to China.
Of course, Zhang Hanqing did not give up. Under the mediation of Meyer, the US Charge d'Affaires in China, he stated that "everything is moving forward." Except for the trial of the two chief criminals, which cannot be discussed, other imprisoned British people can be released conditionally. , but added supplementary terms.
When the negotiating team asked for instructions on how to deal with the May 30 Incident, Zhang Hanqing made it clear after careful consideration: "This incident must be resolved satisfactorily, and the following are the necessary conditions: the Chinese victims must receive compensation; the UK must apologize for this incident and Ensure that similar incidents will not happen again; the two culprits must be brought to justice.
The above three conditions are the minimum and cannot be questioned or discussed at all. This is related to national sentiment and the prestige of the central government.
Then, all British concessions except Tianjin, Shanghai and Guangdong must be unconditionally recovered; for the British concessions in Tianjin, Shanghai and Hong Kong, there is a possibility of reservation at this stage, and the Chinese government will implement actual administration in a way The right to govern, but it does not need to be conditional on damaging the dignity of the British side; as an end to the incident, the relevant perpetrators must be punished by Chinese law and on this basis, consular jurisdiction shall be recovered. "
This is the cost of shooting.
Because Zhang Hanqing’s instructions for the general strike in the province and Hong Kong are that the general strike will last as long as Shanghai is in trouble. In November and December alone, 3,000 stores declared bankruptcy in Hong Kong, and stocks and real estate devalued rapidly. Hong Kong's market is extremely depressed, and the total value of imports and exports that year was only half of last year.
This consequence is that at the end of the year, the port, which has always been rich in trade, had to borrow three million pounds from London to tide over the difficulties! Hong Kong Governor Stuart, who originally advocated toughness, left office early. After taking office, the new Hong Kong Governor Clementi had to express his hope of ending the strike to the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Government in a friendly manner.
But Chen Jiongming said everything depends on the situation in Shanghai.
During the seven-month strike, Hong Kong suffered an average monthly loss of NT$210 million. This huge burden has made Hong Kong a burden to the United Kingdom rather than a hen laying eggs. The pressure from Hong Kong will naturally be transferred to the British delegation responsible for the aftermath of Shanghai.
The British delegation, which was under increasing pressure, expressed in principle that it might reluctantly accept items such as compensation, apology, and dismissal. However, it refused to budge on the key items 4, 5, and 6, and the negotiations reached a deadlock.
Under this circumstance, there were rumors that a huge British Far East fleet had weighed anchor and sailed out of its home port, which suddenly made the British negotiators more arrogant and added many variables to the negotiations.

Zhang Hanqing burst out laughing when he heard the news. He looked at Gu Weijun and said with a smile: "The British are only good at this"
Are you bluffing? Zhang Hanqing is an expert. One phone call freed Song Ziwen and won the hearts of Sheng Ailing and Song Meiling. Soon after, the people of Shanghai saw the scene of the young commander and his twin sisters strolling along the Huangpu River while "recuperating" but moving freely, and envied others.
Needless to say, the so-called shooting case was a play directed and acted by Zhang Hanqing. He has already experienced this kind of drama: the first shot in Beijing allowed him to safely exit the vortex of Cai E's departure from Beijing; now, this shot out of nowhere may give him a moral advantage in the Sino-British negotiations. And make use of the topic; in addition, you can also give Song Ziwen something awesome to see
Of course, it is not appropriate to say that Wang Yaqiao sent bullets. Let public opinion continue to denounce the British!
Gu Weijun expressed his admiration and said: "The Englishman expressed his submission, but the Young Marshal also solved the problems of Miss Song San and Miss Sheng Qi. It is indeed a good method!" The two of them laughed evilly.
During their several years of dating, their relationship has always been very good, and they can be described as talking about everything. After the entire shooting incident, he used this to firmly grasp the moral footing in the Sino-British negotiations and implement Zhang Hanqing's ideas one by one.
No matter how much the British insisted, the concessions on the first, second and third items gave him, as the foreign minister, confidence: he was not sure whether the other three items could be achieved, but if the first three items were achieved, it would have benefited the country and the people. Explanation——This is also the most satisfactory result in all previous foreign negotiations, and it is also an acceptable result.
The young marshal is still insisting, which is the icing on the cake.
After the shootings came to an end, the disaster caused by the "May 30th Massacre" has not yet ended.
As the Lunar New Year is approaching, supplies are scarce, people’s hearts are wandering, and rumors are spreading wildly. From big speculators to ordinary citizens, there is another rush to buy for various motives. People believe that when the "red market" starts on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year after the Spring Festival, prices will rise sharply.
After experiencing the previous three price fluctuations, the cadres of the Shanghai Provincial Standing Committee and the experts of the Financial and Economic Committee have already practiced several "tricks". Before the holiday, Zhang Hanqing was busy formulating plans with the Finance Committee: requesting the central government to quickly allocate large quantities of supplies, organizing water and land transportation, coordinating the support of neighboring provinces to Shanghaihe was busy until the Spring Festival was over. He spent the entire Spring Festival of 1925 on the front line in Shanghai.
Of course, Yu Fengzhi came to see him and told him that Huang Wanqing had moved from Shenyang to the former Marshal's Mansion in Beijing. This important stronghold of Zhang Hanqing, which Zhang Hanqing left on the eve of the Zhili-Fengtian War, once again welcomed another owner.
After the implementation of the new monogamous marriage law, although Huang Wanqing's status is still protected due to lineage, she cannot live in Zhongnanhai like Yu Fengzhi. The impact of this should be noted, especially externally.
Gu Ruiyu settled in Tianjin and is now the director of the Music Department of Nankai University. In addition to normal music discipline construction, he also organized large-scale "Chinese Drama Association", "Chinese Drama Research Association" and other institutions. While satisfying his need to relieve his loneliness due to the absence of Zhang Hanqing, it can also be regarded as a contribution to the development of national treasures.
Only Yu Yifan is in a relatively embarrassing position because she is nameless and has no status, but she doesn't seem to care. She is busy with her development plans every day, silently carrying a bunch of pens to cheer for Zhang Hanqing, but she has also settled in Beijing. Yu Fengzhi personally led people to clean up the house, and the residence was comparable to the Marshal's Mansion in Shenyang.
Zhang Hanqing is working hard on state affairs. As a good housekeeper, Yu Fengzhi has already made his family affairs in order. This also allows her dear husband to be able to "grasp and be hard with both hands" on British guys and beautiful women in Shanghai.
When the market opened on May 1st of the Lunar New Year, speculators opened their mouths aggressively, swallowing up whatever supplies were supplied by state-owned companies, waiting for supply to run out and prices to soar. Unexpectedly, the supply of state-owned companies continued to flow, and the prices remained unchanged. In just a few days, speculators' money pockets were bottomed out and warehouses were full, but state-owned companies still had sufficient supplies.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, Zhang Hanqing received a report from the Finance Committee: “The big bosses couldn’t bear to eat anymore and wanted to vomit, and prices started to fall.”
"Okay!" Zhang Hanqing said: "Let those speculators who have refused to change their ways lose some money and suffer some hardships! This will also be beneficial to the big bosses in the industrial and commercial circles, so that they can give up their speculative mentality and do their best in production with peace of mind."
Shanghai’s fourth wave of rising prices quickly died out at the expense of half of the private banking sector and one-tenth of the speculative banks. If administrative coercion is used to combat silver dollar speculation, then this time it is entirely economic struggle. Zhang Hanqing, who had been sleepless since the May 30th Massacre, finally had a good night's sleep.
Both sides are fighting bravely.The cities were also moved to Wuhu and Wuxi.
Zhenjiang’s trade status declined sharply, and the British Concession in Zhenjiang also experienced rapid depression and a financial crisis.
Because Hankou and Jiujiang were beyond reach, the British managers in both places were expelled, thus losing their management rights.
Considering this, the British side did not have much stalemate on this issue and took action decisively, thus withdrawing their troops from the negotiating table in a dignified manner.
These six articles still did not damage most of the British interests in Shanghai and even in China. The government of the Republic of China did not even have the idea of ??canceling the British Concession in Shanghai and Tianjin. In this regard, shrewd Americans sensed the Zhang Zuolin government's willingness to resolve this incident very early.
Even so, after all, it was China's first major breakthrough in foreign negotiations in modern times. The whole country congratulated the People's Party that its ruling status was once again recognized and ensured. Zhang Hanqing became the first national leader to achieve victory in foreign negotiations in modern Chinese history. His status in the hearts of the people has also improved.

Chapter 739 Negotiation with time limit
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Knowing that Britain could not let go of the concessions in Shanghai, Tianjin and Guangzhou that were crucial to Britain, Zhang Hanqing wisely gave up decisively after a false shot. He knows that this is the bottom line for Britain in China. At the juncture of China's weakness, it cannot push people too hard and let the fruits of victory that have been achieved be aborted again.
Since the trial disputes of the May 30th Massacre were ongoing at the same time, in order to ensure that the British government's reaction to the incident was mitigated and the Chinese government's wishes were successfully realized, it was agreed to retain the above-mentioned British concession.
This decision also takes into account that in the process of dealing with Japan, the existence of British and American forces is also an important constraint. Therefore, it instructs the People's Party to guide the people to divert the firepower of the struggle, "turn grief into strength, and actively devote themselves to the construction of industrialization and modern transportation In the great battle with agricultural modernization, we will work hard to build an economically and militarily powerful country!"
No matter what, the fruitful results of these six months have made him one of the most outstanding politicians and diplomats in the hearts of the people. With the power of a great victory, Zhang Zuolin's government issued a note to Belgium, France, Italy, and Japan to take back the concessions.
After the powerful Britain gave up its concessions in Hankou and Jiujiang, following the example, the Belgian concessions were also successfully recovered.
The Tianjin Concession has not improved since its opening. Not only has it not brought much practical benefit to Belgium, but it may become a burden. The Belgian government at that time had no financial resources and was unwilling to invest in the construction of the concession.
Therefore, when the Belgian government held bilateral treaty negotiations with the Beijing government, Lorne, the Belgian minister to China, directly announced that Belgium was willing to return the Belgian Concession in Tianjin to China as a sign of friendship.
The Beijing government then organized preparations to take over the Tianjin Concession Committee. At first, it asked the Chinese government for money to redeem the land within the boundary, but Zhang Hanqing flatly refused.
As a last resort, the Belgian government expressed its willingness to "voluntarily" return the concession to China "without compensation."
?Subsequently, the Nationalist Government sent five people including Ling Bing, consultant to the Treaty Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to conduct detailed negotiations with Ji Youmu, counselor of the Belgian Embassy in China. The two parties signed the "Belgium Return Agreement on the Belgian Concession in Tianjin" and four annexes. These documents stipulate that the Belgian government will transfer the administrative rights of the concession to the Chinese government, and will also hand over all public properties in the concession to the Chinese government.
After the agreement was signed, the Chinese government appointed Ling Bing and others as takeover committee members to continue discussing the handover issues with the Belgian Minister to China, Graham. After the Belgian concession was taken back, it was renamed the Tianjin Special Fourth District.
The recovery of the Italian concession was also relatively smooth, because at this time, Zhang Hanqing, as the future heir to the power of the Republic of China, had already expressed goodwill to Italy during his visit to Germany.
After the national strategy was handed over, the concession, which was originally dispensable to Italy, was "given back" to Zhang Hanqing as a gift. The two sides basically signed a hasty agreement according to the gourd, and the mission was considered completed. The next step is for both sides to congratulate each other and advance the relationship between the two countries to a new level.
The more troublesome ones are France and Japan, and Zhang Hanqing is also very angry about this.
It is normal for Japan to be difficult, otherwise Japan would not be Japan. It has been like this for hundreds of years. However, while China, the old empire, was gradually weakening, Japan was prospering. In the Sino-Japanese War, it completely trampled China under its feet and began its journey of slavery.
However, due to the impact of China's rapid economic growth, Japanese political circles had no choice but to gradually revise their new relationship with China. At the end of 1925, when the United Kingdom announced that it had agreed to return several British concessions, Japan had no choice but to decide a new policy towards China at the imperial meeting. The content included returning the concessions, revoking extraterritoriality, etc., in order to "wipe out" the Chinese people. anti-Japanese consciousness.
They issued a shameless "statement" in a grand manner, saying that "Japan respects China's sovereignty very much and will not hesitate to actively consider going further to abolish the extraterritorial rights necessary for China's independence and integrity and return the concession."
Later, on January 10, 1926, the "Basic Treaty between China and Japan" was signed with the central government. Article 7 of it stated: "Based on the development of Sino-Japanese relations in this treaty, the Japanese government should abolish the treaty between China and Japan." The extraterritorial rights enjoyed by the Republic of China should be returned to its concession. The government of the Republic of China should open its territory so that Japanese subjects can live and do business."
Although it was just a move by Japan to communicate with all walks of life, Zhang Hanqing followed the snake and instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to immediately launch fruitful negotiations. On this basis, the so-called Japan-China Agreement on the Return of Concessions and the Abolition of Extraterritorial Rights was soon concluded. . According to this agreement, the two governments signed Japan's "Agreement on the Implementation Rules for the Return of Special Concessions".
The terms stipulate that in Hangzhou and Suzhou??It can follow in its footsteps; if the negotiations or processes between China and the above-mentioned three countries fail to make substantial progress, France will certainly do its part. Just as a gesture, the French government sent a negotiating delegation headed by the Count of Monte Cristo to handle the concession affairs with China.
The arrogant Count of Monte Cristo has received a good education since he was a child. He has a famous aristocratic bloodline in Paris. He has a heartfelt contempt for the Chinese and is often called a "yellow monkey". He advocates toughness and disapproval of relations with China. Cancel the concession.
He came to Beijing as if he were on vacation. All communication meetings with China were entrusted to his deputy, and even a visit from Chinese Foreign Minister Gu Weijun was avoided. He believes that it is the Chinese who seek help from France, not the other way around. In diplomacy, the Chinese's humility can reflect the pride of France, "if the Chinese also have diplomacy," he said.
He proposed terms that were unacceptable to China: "The French side will selectively and gradually hand over the concession to China. A specific timetable can be negotiated. China needs to guarantee and propose solutions to ensure that the property and order of the original French concession will not be affected after the handover." Interference, the original French security forces in the concession can continue to perform their functions during this period."
What a "selective gradual ending", it turns out that Mr. Monte Cristo also plans to negotiate concession by concession! It’s best to talk about how the world will last forever and the sun and the moon will fade away, right? After handing back the concession, we have to ensure that everything that was originally there cannot be changed, and even the right to garrison troops to exercise sovereignty on behalf of the country must be retained. The proud Kaohsiung Chicken thought that its opponent was China during the Second Opium War!
Zhang Hanqing instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to express China's dissatisfaction with the work of French negotiators and throw it directly to the French government: "The Republic of China is a sovereign and independent country, and the concessions are left behind for historical reasons, but the Chinese people will not let them continue forever. Stay there, because it is a shame for the entire Chinese nation!
As one of the countries that recognizes the Republic of China, France has the obligation to gradually downplay and downplay concession matters and eventually complete the return of the concession. This handover should be unconditional and complete, without any room for negotiation.
What China and France can do now is to do their best to protect the existing interests of both parties in a candid atmosphere. This is what we can do.
Since Mr. Count of Monte Cristo has always refused to communicate with China, we believe that he is not a good negotiating opponent. Whether he needs to be replaced should be decided by the French government.
However, there should be a time limit for negotiations. General Zhang Hanqing, Chairman of the Central Committee of the People's Party, proposed that the time limit for negotiations between China and France on the concession is one year. That is, if there is still no progress in the negotiations within one year, then China will resolve the concession issue in its own way. ! "
“China’s cry can be heard across the ocean, China’s own way? The Count of Monte Cristo was stupid, the French government was stupid, and the Japanese who were gloating about their misfortune were also stupid. When did the Chinese have the courage to challenge Westerners? Is this what the Chinese government says? That’s right, it can’t be wrong to reach every corner of the world through radio waves.
Ignoring France’s clamor, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs only gave a faint official explanation to the reporters from various countries who flocked in. The more this happens, the more people feel that China's time limit is powerful and serious.
The situation is stronger than the people. No matter how awesome France is, it cannot put enough pressure on China like the British who have fleets all over the world. After China finally shows its hand, it will be France that is embarrassed.
As a traditional land power, distance does have a great impact on foreign policy - if you can't do anything about China, don't stumble on matters related to China, otherwise it will just make your neighbors laugh. This is French politics | The government’s final conclusion.
“Then people saw that Mr. Count of Monte Cristo’s attitude toward negotiations became arrogant and respectful. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 742 Europe after World War I
"The fact that Zhang Hanqing was able to maneuver both sides of the conflict with Britain and Japan, and dare to threaten with force, does not mean that China's strength is already superior to the two countries. On the contrary, he has set the tone in his heart that there cannot be any military escalation with either Britain or Japan.
The reason why we dare to do this is that we have fully grasped the current international situation.
The impact of World War I on various countries was far-reaching, and even brewed the undercurrent of World War II. As a veteran, Zhang Hanqing clearly understands the impact of this war on the future. One of his main advantages in coming to this world is to be able to use "advantage" to maximize China's interests. In terms of international policy, it mainly uses the influence of the "League of Nations".
The League of Nations was an international organization established shortly after the end of World War I. It was essentially the prototype of the later United Nations.
The first part of the Treaty of Versailles is the Covenant of the League of Nations. The Covenant defines the organizational structure, functions, principles and obligations of member states of the League of Nations. On January 10, 1920, the day when the peace treaty officially came into effect, the League of Nations was officially established under the chairmanship of Wilson. All countries that declared war on the German-Austrian Group during the war and newly established countries were founding members of the League of Nations. In this way, the League of Nations has a total of 44 member states, which later gradually increased to 63 countries, with its headquarters in Geneva.
The main institutions of the League of Nations include the General Assembly, the Council, the Secretariat, and the International Court of Justice, the International Labor Office, etc. The most important institution is the Council. The "Covenant" stipulates that the United States, Britain, France, Italy, and Japan are permanent members of the Security Council, and there are four non-permanent members.
Although the United States was one of the initiating countries, ironically, it did not participate because it failed in the leadership competition with Britain and France. Therefore, there were only four permanent members before Germany joined the League of Nations in 1926. The League of Nations was mainly controlled by Britain and France.
According to the "Covenant of the League of Nations", the responsibilities of the Council are: drafting disarmament plans, reviewing annual reports submitted by countries undertaking mandates, ensuring the territorial integrity of member states, proposing proposals to the General Assembly to resolve international disputes, and implementing economic and military measures against aggressors. Military sanctions, etc. China's previous major disarmament was carried out at its request.
Although Zhang Hanqing knew that this loose alliance was of little use, the League of Nations did not even protect China's interests in Shandong in the Paris Peace Treaty. But in the early days, especially from the post-war period to the late 1920s, the League of Nations was still very famous, and he also intended to use this alliance to correct the policies of all parties towards China:
China joined the League of Nations on June 29, 1920. Since China is already a member of the League of Nations, many matters can of course be resolved within the League of Nations. And since it is a member state, national sovereignty cannot be questioned. This cuts off the tension on the scene. To China’s black hands, the policies of various countries towards China have become transparent.
A quick look at the world before and after World War I shows very few changes.
Although the borders of Europe are different due to the disappearance of the four great empires, as far as the entire world is concerned, European rule does not seem to have weakened. Britain, France, and other empires still rule as many overseas colonies as they did before 1914.
In fact, their territory was even larger, as they now controlled territory in the Middle East that had previously been under the Sudanese rule. Thus, Europe's global hegemony was more complete after the First World War than before it.
However, beneath the surface, the situation is completely different. In fact, from a global perspective, the main significance of the First World War was precisely that it began to weaken European hegemony - a process that was completed after the Second World War. This weakening was manifested in at least three In all aspects, economic decline, political crisis and the weakening of control over the colonies.
Before 1914, Europe’s economy relied heavily on large-scale overseas investments, which generated large profits every year. However, during World War I, Britain lost a quarter of its foreign investment, France lost a third, and Germany lost all of its foreign investment.
The complete change in this trend can be seen in the new financial strength of the United States. Before the war, the United States relied on Europe to provide the capital it needed. By 1914, the United States owed about $4 billion to European investors; a tiny sum by today's standards, but three times the national debt of the period.
However, the war completely changed this relationship. Because in order to pay for war materials, the Allied governments were first forced to sell their shares in the United States, and then borrowed money from the U.S. government and private parties. Thus, by 1919, the United States had become a creditor nation with loans of $3.7 billion, and ten years later, this figure had risen to $8.8 billion.
Industrially, the same pattern was evident, as many mission areas in Europe had been destroyed, while American factories had suffered greatly during the war.Driven by demand, it has grown astonishingly like bamboo shoots after a rain. By 1929, the industrial output of the United States accounted for at least 42.2% of the world's total industrial output, which was greater than the output of all European countries, including the Soviet Union.
Therefore, the economic relationship between Europe and the United States was completely changed by the First World War. Europe is no longer the world's banker and the world's workshop, as it was in the 19th century. Leadership in both areas has passed across the Atlantic.
The war devastated Europe not only economically but also politically. Before 1914, Europe was the birthplace of basic modern political thought and political systems. As we have seen, the influence of these ideas and institutions has reached every corner of the globe.
However, the catastrophe of the war made Europeans demoralized and lost confidence.
Across the continent, the ancient order is being questioned and challenged. British Prime Minister Lloyd In a secret memorandum in March 1919, George wrote: "Among the workers who opposed the pre-war situation, there existed a strong sense not only of dissatisfaction but of anger and resistance that was evident in all existing political, social and The economic order is viewed with suspicion by broad swaths of people across Europe."
At this critical juncture of the revolution, many Europeans looked to two non-Europeans for guidance, Wilson in the United States and Lenin in Soviet Russia.
Because the Soviet Union’s social nature was different from that of Western countries, it had just recovered from the threat and even armed intervention of the Belarusian army supported by capitalist countries and was consolidating its socialist regime. The Western world began to isolate the Soviet Union.
From the 1920s to the early 1930s, the Soviet Union carried out a "New Economic Policy" to restore the economy. Its main contents are: abolish the surplus grain collection system and implement in-kind tax; stop the rationing system and allow the sale of goods; relax foreign trade controls and encourage investment by foreign-funded enterprises; allow a certain degree of private enterprise economy, etc.
The New Economic Policy gradually restored the Soviet Union's economy. At a time when Europe was being reshuffled, the Soviet Union was basically excluded. However, it was an unexpected blessing in disguise: by 1928, Russia's industrial and agricultural product output had successfully returned to the level of 1913. , and also lay a solid foundation for the rise of superpowers in the future.
The success of the Soviet Union gave hope to Germany, which was trapped in "jail". In an attempt to emulate the Bolshevik Revolution, soviets were established in Berlin, Hamburg, and Budapest, and demonstrations were held on the streets of London, Paris, and Rome.
Wilson's close friend Colonel House wrote in his diary on March 22, 1919: "Cries of dissatisfaction are heard every day, the people want peace, Bolshevism is becoming more and more accepted by people everywhere, Hungary has just surrendered, We are sitting on an open fire store. One day, a spark will ignite it."
The people need strong leadership, and the country needs to unite the hearts of people who have suffered from the war. The national socialist system adheres to one-party leadership. Because it has the advantage of concentrating its efforts on big things, it has gradually gained market share on the world political stage. The Soviet Union did this, China did this, and Italy, a permanent member of the League of Nations far away in Europe, also followed the same pattern.
Mussolini declared his "National Fascist Party" as the only legal political party in January of the year, marking the first time for fascist rule. This made Hitler maintain an almost paranoid loyalty and friendship to him throughout his life.
The close diplomatic relations and all-round military and economic mutual assistance between China, Germany and the Soviet Union have made the traditional powers Britain, France and Japan feel excluded. In order to continue their interests in China, they can only be more inclined to the United States' "open door" policy, thereby increasing the United States' voice.
The good interaction between China and the United States has also given them a strong sense of presence in successfully resolving the "May 30" crisis.
Looking back on the entire incident, only Germany and the Soviet Union maintained a strong sympathy and support for China from beginning to end, so Zhang Hanqing decided to reciprocate the favor and sincerely seek benefits for both countries. He said this when meeting with the German Minister in China:
“The German nation is a great nation and has experienced similar suffering, rejection and oppression to the Chinese nation in history. Now around us, our interests are still being plundered by foreign powers, and our living space is still being squeezed.
We feel the same pain deeply. If we want to break this situation, we need to join hands to deal with it together. All this requires strong industrial and military capabilities to support it.
Germany has pent-up military industry capabilities, and we have strong military industry needs. I visited your country last year and received a good response. China and Germany have formed an all-round national relationship. We have made great progress in the field of military industry, but I think this is far from enough!
The rejuvenation of the two countries will inevitably involve the interests of the great powers: France will not accept a rising Germany, and Britain will not tolerate its Versailles system being broken, so a war is needed to overthrow it; Japan will not be able to survive the rise of China in Asia. Hom, if we want to complete the historical task of making the Chinese people stand up, China and Japan must have a battle.
The interests of Britain, the United States and other countries in China and Germany determine that they will not sit back and watch this war. No one dares to predict who they will help. But imperialism is the same breed, and we cannot pin our hopes on their conscience. The correct solution is to become stronger ourselves.
So I have an idea that is a sublimation of the results of the previous talks with General Sickert. "
Don’t Europeans claim to be superior people? In terms of strategy, let these “superior people” first see what “strategy planning” is and what “Chinese strategy” is!

Chapter 743 Borrowing chickens to lay eggs
Since the day he traveled through time, Zhang Hanqing has been thinking about how to maximize China’s strategic interests. Of course, at the beginning, his focus was still on the country and how to make the Feng clan strong. Since Zhili's defeat, it is only a matter of time before the People's Party leads China. His thoughts have expanded overseas, and the treacherous international situation is his favorite.
It is good to grasp the general trend. He knows the ins and outs of the war that reshuffled the world. He also clearly knows every step and every major event that led to this great change. This cannot bypass a few big countries, but no one in the country involved knows the final evolution of each decision as clearly as he does.
The Treaty of Versailles brought shame and resentment to the German people. The peace treaty's military restrictions on Germany reached an outrageous level:
The German army must not exceed 100,000 men (no more than 7 infantry divisions and 3 cavalry divisions), including soldiers, officers and non-combatants.
The German General Staff was banned and Germany’s universal compulsory military service was abolished;
It is prohibited for Germany to conduct any military training in academies and shooting, sports and travel organizations;
? Prohibits Germany from possessing heavy artillery, tanks, submarines and military aircraft;
Germany is allowed to have a naval fleet in the future, but only 6 pocket battleships, 6 light cruisers and 12 reinforced torpedo ships; the national navy must not exceed 15,000 people.
In a word, Germany has no power to make any objections, and the victor has also killed Germany's military potential.
The restrictions imposed by the members of the Allied Powers to prevent the resurgence of Germany are very vicious but also very effective. If it were not for the Chief of General Staff Sickert who had Zhuoyue, Germany would basically be militarily abolished, and no amount of Hitler would be of any use.
To the noble Junkers, Germany was not defeated. Germany's surrender was not due to a major defeat on the battlefield, but to the uprising of domestic workers. Therefore, no bloody German politician or soldier is willing to accept this humiliation.
French Marshal Foch also knew that such sanctions would not extinguish the war enterprise in the German people's hearts, but would instead arouse the anger of the German people, thereby rekindling the war, so he loudly declared that "this is not peace, but a twenty-year truce."
But the war is over, and the influence of a soldier is far less than that of a politician. No one listens to his words, or they hear them but ignore them.
But Zhang Hanqing knows the German mentality very well. Previously, many win-win agreements have been reached privately with the German political and military circles that are beneficial to China's military development and beneficial to Germany's maintenance of military research and development capabilities. These agreements are being realized one after another, but he feels that progress is still too slow and the level still needs to be deepened.
The arrogance of the British and the intrusion of the Japanese in the "May 30th" incident made him slowly revise some of his previous views. China and Japan were no longer able to reconcile, and it became increasingly difficult to reconcile with Great Britain and other great powers on important issues. Reach a consensus on, for example, matters related to China's sovereignty. In this case, the People's Army lacked something to restrain them.
The most urgent thing is large-caliber artillery, at least to ensure that the army does not fall behind in the confrontation with its warships, or to have checks and balances. Although the bombardment on the Huangpu River boosted the morale of the Chinese people, it was mostly luck.
Based on the situation at the time, although the Chinese artillery was able to sweep away everything on the deck of the cruiser "Cardiff", it was a fact that it could not penetrate the armor, and it could also cause a fatal blow to it. If the death of the captain, Captain Meg, had not completely wiped out their fighting spirit, China would most likely have been in a passive situation where civilians died, artillery was counterattacked, and the British ships calmly withdrew from the Huangpu River.
Other weapons include submarines, large-tonnage warships, aircraft and other weapons, but this is not what Zhang Hanqing thinks is the most important. Talent, ideas and supporting a powerful Germany that can threaten Europe more than ever in history are his starting points. He reviewed the limitations of Germany's military capabilities imposed by the great powers and said passionately:
"Both China and Germany are big countries on land. Our most urgent thing at the moment is to maintain an army that is so powerful that the enemy dare not face it. This is our hope for revival. Since the People's Army is a new army, for modern There is a lack of experience in the war, and there is a certain gap between us and the world's powerful countries in terms of technology and tactics, individual soldier quality, logistical support and training. In this regard, our German colleagues who have experienced the war have the ability to give us the best help.
Therefore, I hope that the German government can send enough military talents to train our officers above the regiment, including combat, technology and command. The current advisory group is too small. We need at least a thousand or more, and it will take at least one month. Year.
This is also good for Germany to maintain its combat effectiveness. I know that you train soldiers as officers, and junior officers as junior officers. I also understand and admire the wisdom of treating non-commissioned officers as officers. NoA tacit agreement was reached.
In mid-1925, Germany successively dispatched more than 500 instructors to the National Defense University of China and various command academies of the army and navy, more than 3,000 military advisers to the People's Army, and countless other technicians.
Thanks to the rigor of the Germans, the training and combat capabilities of the Chinese army have been improved to a large level; and the Germans also deeply felt Zhang Hanqing's original and foreseeable concepts and strategies for future wars during their interactions with him. Be prepared and benefit a lot. The two parties have established a good friendship in their long-term relationship and laid a solid foundation for further cooperation.
China and Germany join hands to become stronger. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 744 Dawes Plan
The military is based on the economy. The strength of a modern country's economy is closely related to its industrial capabilities. Even if Germany maintains its most advanced weapons research and development in China by borrowing chickens and laying eggs, without strong military industry capabilities, it cannot become a great power with just a few advanced weapons instead of thousands of large-scale weapons.
A good tiger can’t stand up to a pack of wolves.
Since the First World War was not fought in Germany, even if it lost the war, it retained a strong industrial base and a team of qualified workers. The key is that the country generally held its breath for the defeat and the huge compensation. There is a risk of restoration.
When Germany's financial and economic situation further deteriorated and it was no longer able to repay the Allied Powers' reparations, the conflict between Britain and France over the reparations issue in Germany became increasingly acute: France insisted on asking for money, and Britain was afraid of forcing Germany to side with the Soviet Union.
At that time, France advocated that it would do its best to weaken Germany, or even let Germany collapse, so as to enhance its own strength and compete with Britain for European hegemony. After the Paris Peace Conference, French President Poincaré said: "Germany was born in injustice and deserves to die in shame." There are also those within it who "burned Berlin, hanged the other party's generals, and demanded large tracts of land along the Rhine." clamor.
In order to prevent France from overexpanding its power, Britain adheres to its long-standing balance of power strategy and does not advocate excessively weakening Germany in order to contain France.
The United States’ intentions are basically similar to those of the United Kingdom. They are both unwilling to see France become stronger, so they acquiesce in the rise of Germany.
Germany’s political circles are well aware of this. It is impossible for the outside world to know about such a close military interaction between China and Germany, but it involves a wide range of areas, and the People's Army's approach to strengthening the army does not hurt the eyes of Britain, which has always attached great importance to the navy.
"The British didn't say it, and France said it wouldn't work. In addition, they didn't want China to fall into the arms of the Soviet Union, so they half-opened their eyes to this.
The reason why the victorious countries retained Germany's industrial capabilities to the maximum extent was because countries such as Britain, France, and Italy still wanted to obtain war reparations from a Germany whose economy was not bankrupt. A impoverished Germany in the heart of Europe was not good news for neighboring countries.
But the squeeze on Germany has caused its economy to lose its vitality and is in urgent need of blood transfusions. However, Europe, which has been crippled, cannot shoulder this task. On the contrary, by the end of World War I, European countries owed the United States a total of $10.34 billion in war debt. Among them, the UK is 4.3 billion, France is 3.4 billion, and Italy is 1.65 billion US dollars.
Although the Treaty of Versailles stipulated that Britain, France, etc. could receive war reparations from Germany, because they also had to repay the debts of the United States, they advocated linking the discussion between reparations and war debt issues, which is a bit like a serial debt.
So in May 1920, the heads of government of Britain and France issued a statement advocating the simultaneous cancellation of war debts to the United States and compensation requirements to Germany. This is their little calculation: The United States wants us to give up our claims against Germany, so can our debt be written off in one go? At this time, the United States ignored it.
German finance has collapsed, but the two countries have not collapsed? Brothers are brothers, and accounts must be settled clearly. Uncle Sam is indeed an outstanding representative of a capitalist country, and he knows his way around money.
In this way, Britain and France could only turn to squeeze Germany, but the German government was also determined to stop losses. Because the war reparations that Germany was required to pay were calculated using the German gold mark, the government allowed the gold mark to depreciate starting in 1920. ——After all, every time the country is devalued, the country loses one less point.
The German mark devalued crazily, and even if all the compensation was paid back later, its actual value would not be much. Rather than receiving a sum of money that is actually not much in this case, it is better to send a favor to Germany. This is the consideration of the United States and Britain.
Out of fear of the surging communist movement in European countries, they were also worried that due to Germany's defeat in the war, the fall of the Kaiser, the collapse of the economy, and the emergence of a communist Germany for the first time in Europe, they secretly supported Hitler to come to power, crack down on communism, and further Containment of the Soviet Union's plot to the east.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, European ideas awakened and inspired Americans and Russians. The opposite is true now. Europeans are looking elsewhere for leaders, for ideas.
The millions of dead and wounded and the smoky ruins of cities and countryside made the masses receptive to calls for revolution and a new social order. If they are not given a way out quickly, the Balkans will once again destabilize Europe.
On August 1, 1922, British Foreign Secretary Balfour issued a note to the six Allied Powers including France and Italy - the famous "Balfour Note", stating that the UK was "prepared to give up all future rights to reparations to Germany and the payment of war debts" All requirements. As long as this waiver becomes part of a general plan that enables this momentous issue to be dealt with as a whole"
The implication is that the United States is required to join efforts to abolish the war debt requirement.
The United States also has no response, but it has been thinking about this issue for two years. By December 26, when the Paris Conference controlled by France decided to impose sanctions on Germany, the United States sent a "participation" signal on the 29th.
On this day, US Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes delivered an important speech to the American Historical Association in New Haven, Connecticut, stating that an "impartial" international expert committee should study the issue of German reparations, including reimbursement to Germany. Ability to make new estimates. He also stated that American citizens will participate in the work of this committee.
After the French and Belgian troops occupied the Ruhr region, Germany's industrial and economic center, on January 11, 1923, the contradiction between Britain and France on the German issue became more acute, and Germany also stopped compensation to Britain, France and other countries.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, U.S. President Coolidge made a statement to the press on October 11, stating that the position expressed by Hughes in his New Haven speech was still valid, and that he also opposed the discussion of war debts and reparations.
Even if a debt is a debt, you still have to pay back what you should pay, but it depends on how I say it; reparations are another matter. Germany owes you, so it is best not to be aggressive anymore, right?
The UK also agrees to form an expert committee to re-discuss the issue of German compensation. In order to force France to submit, Britain and the United States exerted various pressures on France, resulting in the Compensation Commission announcing c﹒ in Paris on October 15, 1923. g﹒ Dawes and Owen﹒ d﹒ Young was an American expert who investigated Germany's financial situation and later formed an expert committee led by Dawes.
The "Dawes Plan" was one of the crystallizations of Dawes' superb economic and political talents. It was also an important step for the United States to move toward an "independent cosmopolitan" policy after World War I.
On March 4, 1921, Republican Warren g﹒ Harding became the 29th president of the United States and swore that the United States would never get involved in foreign disputes. On April 12, Harding told a joint session of Congress that the United States "will not participate in the League of Nations." But at the same time, the president pledged that his administration would work with foreign governments that want to form what he sees as an apolitical coalition of countries and revive ravaged European countries.
This means that the Harding administration's so-called "non-involvement" and "non-participation" are nothing more than exerting influence on Europe in the American way.
Because they knew that the United States did not yet have the "ability" to control the "League of Nations" at that time, but they also knew that the United States already had influence, and it was obviously impossible not to participate in European affairs. This is the American background in which the "Dawes Plan" emerged.
The United States’ intervention in European affairs, especially German affairs, is not political interference, but economic intervention. To be more precise, it adopts an economic diplomacy method of official-business cooperation in which the government formulates policies and is implemented by unofficial private representatives.
From a formal point of view, the "Dawes Plan" is just a report and plan. Its content is the results of the investigation of Germany's finance and economy and the solutions proposed accordingly. As for its approval and specific implementation, the United States does not assume no responsibility.
From the perspective of the political background of the United States, the United States was affected by the strong "isolationist" trend in the country at that time, and in principle it did not interfere in European affairs. "Isolationism" means not joining any form of alliance or getting involved in any international disputes. However, this does not mean that the United States has no political ambitions. It just does not want to assume obligations.
From this perspective, the "Dawes Plan" is in line with the diplomatic principle that the United States has always followed, which is to obtain maximum benefits with minimum effort.
As a solution to the German compensation problem, the emergence and implementation of the "Dawes Plan" has a more specific background.
As we all know, the "Plan" not only ended the chaotic state of the German economy and solved a series of technical problems related to Germany's continued reparations, but also greatly alleviated the conflicts, struggles and stalemates between the United States and France surrounding the issue of German reparations.
Another problem is that the issue of Germany’s war compensation to the Allied Powers in the 1920s is linked to the issue of the war debt repayment of the Allied Powers to the United States by the Allied Powers after the war.
The implementation of the Dawes Plan played an important role in the recovery and development of the German economy in the second half of the 1920s. From 1924 to 1929, Germany paid 11 billion gold marks in compensation, but received about 21 billion gold marks in various foreign loans. It was not until 1928 that Germany claimed that it was on the verge of financial bankruptcy and was unable to implement the plan. It was replaced by the Younger Plan in 1930.
Because of Zhang Hanqing’s help when Germany was in dire straits, and the extraordinary friendly relationship that China had resolutely established with Germany, Germany tended to tilt its economic policies toward China during its industrial development.
In addition to actively completing various forms of barter transactions with China, after the start of the "Dawes Plan", Germany actively financed China, participated in the development of many strategic materials in China, and supported the establishment of many factories and mines in the southwest region. enterprise and exported advanced German technology and management experience. China has benefited a lot from the rigorous style of the Germans.
In addition, due to the rapid improvement of China's domestic industrial capacity, but the domestic consumption capacity is far from enough, if a large number of primary products produced have no market, it will greatly constrain the economic development.
Although due to various constraints, China cannot directly obtain cash income from Germany, through barter, Chinese products can be marketed overseas, and Germany consumes more than half of the exports.
As a result, in the 1920s, China also passed the most important bottleneck stage of industrial development and recovered.

Chapter 745 Germany’s anger is the gospel for China
For Europe, the implementation of the "Dawes Plan" is objectively conducive to the recovery of the European economy.
In economics, the liquidity of funds is very important for economic development. In fact, the U.S. dollar goes around in a circle and flows into Germany in the form of loans, then from Germany to the creditor countries in the form of reparations, and finally in the form of debt repayments. Flow back to the United States. In this turnover, new blood was injected into the economies of various countries and they were able to resume economic production.
At the same time, as U.S. capital continued to flow to Germany and Europe after the war, the U.S. dollar gradually became a world currency and became the main support for Germany's currency stability, budget balance, and reparations payment. The economic ties between the United States and Europe have been further strengthened. If there is a credit problem with the US dollar, all European countries will be implicated.
This is one of the reasons why the subsequent world economic crisis, marked by the New York stock market crash, quickly spread to Europe and caused serious inflation in Germany.
Under the various considerations of major countries, the World War I did not hurt the German industrial foundation, and instead stimulated the development of heavy industry. A large number of outstanding engineering and technical personnel were not lost in the war. During the period between World War I and World War II, Britain and France did not gain a clear advantage over Germany in technology.
Militarily, after World War I, Germany had advanced ideas in building its army, strict training, and its military tactical guidance far surpassed that of the British and French countries.
However, economically, due to the super horrific inflation, the German people's property was wiped out overnight and they all became proletarians. This reality of serious asymmetry between military strength and economic conditions is not surprising.
A blank piece of paper is easy to draw on, and the sharp loss of property has objectively stimulated the German people's spirit of hard work and entrepreneurship. On the other hand, in order to curb the development of communism in Germany and reap huge profits, the international financial oligarchs also provided a large amount of financial support to the Hitler regime in the early stages.
Germany was the biggest beneficiary of the "Dawes Plan". The capital from the victorious countries injected a boost into the German economy, which was on the verge of despair, allowing it to quickly recover and develop. This helped it politically re-enter the circle of Western powers. The foundation was laid for the formation and further freedom from the shackles of the Treaty of Versailles.
By 1929, Germany had once again become Europe's leading economic power, changing the balance of power in Europe.
"Reparations were originally a way of punishment for Germany by the Allied Powers and a form of extortion by the victorious countries against the defeated countries. In the end, they invisibly allowed Germany to rise again. This is undoubtedly a great irony.
“However, to ordinary Germans, he does not think that he has taken advantage. The starting point of this economic plan proposed by the Americans was not for the welfare of ordinary German people, but just to keep the German economy from falling into despair and making the compensation for defeat an empty talk.
Once upon a time, Wilson's Fourteen Points for Peace caused a commotion of wishes and expectations. In December 1918, when Wilson set foot on the blood-stained soil of Europe, the masses welcomed him with mad enthusiasm as the "king of mankind", "savior" and "prince of peace". They listened greedily to his vision of peace and security.
But everything remains on paper.
According to the territorial resolution of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany’s territory was reduced by one-eighth and its population was reduced by one-tenth;
The two regions of Alsace and Lorraine, which had been occupied by Germany since the Franco-Prussian War, were now returned to France;
The peace treaty also stipulated that the Rhine demilitarized area was established and Alsace was transferred to the jurisdiction of the League of Nations for 15 years;
Germany recognized the restored independence of Poland and returned part of Upper Silesia that belonged to ancient Poland;
The city of Gdańsk and its adjoining districts become free zones protected by the League of Nations;
The Treaty of Versailles also stipulates that Germany must strictly respect the independence of Austria and recognize the independence of Czechoslovakia
Although more than 100,000 square kilometers of Polish land that has been occupied for hundreds of years are still owned by Germany, this can no longer appease Germany, which is gritting its teeth.
Germany stares at the Treaty of Versailles angrily, and will make a hundredfold effort as long as there is a glimmer of possibility.
Looking at the entire world, no country is as prosperous as China, with real military threats and enthusiasm for absorbing military industrial capabilities. This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Hanqing was able to seize the opportunity and vigorously absorb the German military industry.
In the early honeymoon period of Sino-German relations, China has already shouldered the important task of reserving German military power and maintaining its leading position in the world.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? may be can be understood by looking at the proportion of reparations which the countries concerned in the "Dawes Plan" deserved, and it is not difficult to understand why Germany has such a widespread and strong sentiment of national revenge.
&The well-known "Memorandum of Mutual Assistance in Economic Development between China and Germany" clarifies that China-Germany relations are a "strategic comprehensive partnership that does not regard third countries as imaginary enemies."
The agreement stipulates that "all achievements made by German technical personnel in China, whether in guidance, training, or research, as well as all technological innovations, patents, and practical results obtained by Chinese personnel, will be fully shared between China and Germany." Share it”. Depending on the situation, Germany can evacuate its technical personnel and capital technology from China at any time.
In this way, it not only satisfies the German government's expectations for technological continuity and makes it willing to disclose or transfer its technological capabilities to China, but also simultaneously makes China significantly improve. Sino-German friendship, everyone is happy. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 746 On People’s War
"Compared with the turmoil in Europe, China, thousands of miles away, is thinking about the same thing and working hard to build a new China. In this noisy world, there is no other branch except the Soviet Union in the north, which is working hard.
The People's Party government's series of tough external measures have attracted the attention of major countries. All countries regard China as a new rival and are intent on guarding against it.
Be prepared for danger in times of peace. If someone tries to interfere with China's modernization process, can China's existing military power resist such an attempt? In other words, Germany has the most formidable "officer corps" in more than two centuries - the model for most military general staffs in modern times. Britain has the famous Royal Navy. What does China have? What is China's national defense strategy?
Among all kinds of military men at home and abroad, the ones Zhang Hanqing admires include Napoleon, Mahan, Douhet, Peter I, Bismarck and Mao Zedong. If the villains can also be listed, then there is Hitler. Their specialty lies not in military affairs, but in using their genius political acumen to grasp military changes or theories, thereby achieving military heights unreachable by their contemporaries.
In terms of military organizational capabilities, Ludendorff, the German military god, and his "Total War" are memorable.
Ludendorff’s total war theory was proposed based on the experience and lessons of the First World War and the development level of industrial production, science and technology, and weapons and equipment in the early 20th century. It has a major role in promoting the development of modern military thought. Hitler and his generals even used this theory in the Second World War, which had a huge impact on human history.
First of all, Ludendorff completely abandoned the combat guiding ideology of "keeping the position at all costs".
He believed that violent artillery fire could wipe out all the defenders in the forward position, and the position could not be defended even if the people were wiped out. Therefore, the troops should be withdrawn to the rear far away from the forward position, that is, outside the range of the enemy's artillery fire, so as to preserve the effective strength to the maximum extent. . This is the same principle as Mao Zedong's "Save people and lose land, and everyone and land will survive; Save land and lose people, and everyone and land will be lost."
Secondly, Ludendorff also proposed new offensive tactics that fully utilize the advantages of artillery and maintain the suddenness and mobility of combat.
In the battles of Saint-Marie-Lafer, Lys River and Visray from March to May 1918, according to his tactical thinking, the German army did not repeat the past bombing for a week and then attack. The troops moved forward, and the attack was not in long horizontal lines, but in short and irregular formations.
Their mission is to advance as far as possible regardless of what happens on the right or left wing, occupy the enemy's command post, and cut off the enemy's communication. Pull the troops up before launching the attack to increase combat concealment, surprise, etc.
In the early summer of 1925, Zhang Hanqing, who was summering in Beidaihe, after referring to Ludendorff's "Total War" which came out 10 years later, summarized its main ideas and views into China's future national defense strategy, and solemnly stated it at the subsequent Military Commission meeting. proposed, the main content of which was the "people's war theory" that he later gradually formed:
Modern war is a war of the whole nation. Not only has the war expanded to the entire territory of the participating countries, but the people involved in the war have also expanded from the army to the entire population. In this case, "both war and politics should be subordinated to national survival, but war is the highest expression of the nation's will to survive. Therefore, politics should serve combat."
But this does not negate Clausewitz’s famous assertion that “war is the continuation of politics.” Not only that, the issue of war should be considered in national strategy.
The modern war here should be a war involving the mobilization of the whole people on the basis of political decisions, rather than having bellicose people sway politics - it must not be like Japan later, where the butt determines the head.
The basis of total war is the spiritual unity of the nation. To this end, special measures should be taken to control news and public opinion tools and suppress those who leak military information and are dissatisfied. Use all means to carry out spiritual mobilization and make military education have racial characteristics, thereby arousing the national spirit.
When war comes, some peacetime rules may affect or restrict military performance. For this reason, Zhang Hanqing stipulated in the constitution that once a war breaks out or the People's Party believes that the domestic and international situation has deteriorated to the point of affecting national security, military control can be exercised upon the decision of the Political Bureau of the People's Party Central Committee. This provision is temporary The famous "Special Status Act" in the Constitution.
At this moment, all national power will be concentrated in the hands of the ad hoc "National Security Commission"; local power will be concentrated in the hands of the Military Control Commission composed of local standing committees.
The "National Security | Committee" is a non-permanent one, composed of members of the Political Bureau of the People's Party, members of the Central Military Commission, and ministers responsible for the police, intelligence, diplomacy, transportation, finance, justice and other ministries. It usually holds a meeting once a year, or at In emergencies, the Politburo/Standing Committee proposes to convene to discuss the current situation.The national situation during this period and the assessment of the future national security situation.
As long as it is determined to be a state of war or crisis, the "National Security | Council" will automatically take over all power of the country, and Congress will automatically enter a state of recess.
At that time, the national economy will be militarized and the peacetime economy will be wartime. Important materials such as food, clothing, and fuel will be stored in large quantities in peacetime. The issuing banks should be placed under the power of the central government to strive for self-sufficiency in war materials and expand armaments. Industry, be prepared for a long war.
The Panzhi system is not applicable in times of war. Arbitrary actions and improvised decisions are the only way to go.
The National Defense Force is an important force to resist foreign aggression. It is necessary to establish a dictatorial war command system, with people with excellent talents, strong character, abundant energy, keen observation and other excellent qualities as commanders (Zhang Hanqing: I am not talking about me! ).
It is used to strengthen the national unity of the people and the army "on the basis of race", examine various principles and policies related to the war, guide the overall war, etc., and lead the army, navy, air force, propaganda, military technology, economy, and politics. The National Defense Staff is composed of talented people to implement his thoughts and will.
The Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense must always make all necessary arrangements regarding the concentration of troops, the transportation and storage of food and equipment, and other matters. So that in case of emergency, the standing troops can be fully utilized as the front-line army.
The purpose of people's war is to mobilize all citizens to have the concept of defending their homeland and country in peacetime and to undergo certain military education. In this way, when the war is urgent, they can enlist in the army as soon as possible, accept and complete military training tasks in a short period of time, and become qualified soldiers.
At this moment, the "Draft on the Compulsory Military Service System" drafted by Jiang Baili and approved by Zhang Hanqing was officially introduced.
This draft is also an education plan, and its main purpose is to show strength and warning: the responsibility for implementing this plan belongs to all citizens. The civil administration aspect is far more important than the military aspect. It can be called the culture of warriors and the martial arts of literati. Not only can all citizens have a healthy body, but it can also establish military awareness from an early age and get rid of the Confucian weak soldier mentality that has restrained China for thousands of years.
This draft makes it no longer an empty talk to deploy troops among the people and all the people to be soldiers. With a complete conscription system, it is possible for those who are summoned to come, those who come to fight, and those who fight to win.
The "Draft of the Compulsory Military Service System" stipulates that all able-bodied citizens are obliged to participate in various military organizations: 20 to 25 years old are standing service, that is, the armed forces, officially called the Chinese People's Army and the Chinese People's Armed Police Force; Those who are between the ages of 35 and 35 are in reserve service and are called "reserves"; those who are between 35 and 45 are in garrison service and are called "militia".
Each provincial, municipal, and county-level government agency has established a People's Armed Forces Department, which is managed by the Party committee at the same level and serves as an agency for recruiting new soldiers and mobilizing national defense in the region. The chief and deputy officers of each armed forces department are retired military officers and are responsible for the organization of reserve and militia personnel in the region.
The armed forces are managed by the Military Commission and included in the national military finance projects; the reserve forces and militia are under local management, and the officers of the reserve force are all demobilized and retired officers; the militia is organized by grassroots rural organizations and is mainly managed by retired officers and soldiers nearby.
Because the treatment of military personnel is far better than that of other industries in the same period, the Republic of China has also stipulated the resettlement method for retired military personnel - they can receive high-level secondary vocational re-education for free, or hold local public offices, which greatly enhances the social status of military personnel. It is conceivable that after the implementation of the draft, the enthusiasm for joining the army will remain high in society, and a great improvement in the quality of soldiers can be expected.
The standing force, reserve force, and armed police force of the Republic of China are all established to defend the country's independence and attack enemy aggression. War is a major evil if it is not for defense. If the government tries its best to mediate, but the other country is not mediated, or the mediation is not harmonious, and it has to declare war as a last resort, then such a war can be said to be a war of defense.
This draft embodies Zhang Hanqing’s thinking on national strategy, and also made Jiang Baili, the then Minister of Defense, feel the young marshal’s forward-looking thinking on building the country. This concept of "people's war" and the national defense strategy proposed subsequently formed the main part of Zhang Hanqing's military thought and influenced the new generation of Chinese soldiers.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????… However, there are different views within the People's Army on the fact that China is still under the threat of war. The vast majority of senior officials believe that the country has been unified, foreign aggression has been basically eliminated, and the government should be committed to developing people's livelihood.
Only Zhang Hanqing, Jiang Baili and others pointed out with incomparable perseverance: "Sooner or later, China and Japan will have a war over the issues of Kanto Prefecture and Taiwan. The political and geographical environment in Asia make this Sino-Japanese war to determine the leadership of Asia imminent."
Even Zhang Zuolin disagreed with this statement. After all, the old Feng clan figures who have not experienced the Anti-Japanese War really can't imagine that in the official history, the Japanese really dared to risk the disapproval of the world and boldly fight against China!
Looking at the puzzled looks of senior party officials, Zhang Hanqing asked: "What kind of impact and passive situation will the Kanto Prefecture, located in the heart of Northeast China, have on our country's national defense strategy? Do you think the Japanese will hand over the Kanto Prefecture to us obediently?" In Asia, at present, is there any better place than our country that can attract the attention of Japanese people?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Of course.

In view of the fact that the People's Army is already a huge force with millions of people, and various forces were mixed into it during the process of forming the army, and the old Fengtian clique was expanded on the basis of the Beiyang Army, the awarding of military ranks at that time was relatively arbitrary. , so much so that he often makes jokes everywhere.
In order to appease the surrender of troops and generals from various places, Zhang Hanqing also accepted some suggestions from his subordinates, such as Lin Wei's proposal of high-ranking officials and fewer soldiers, which later led to the joke that there were more officers than soldiers in some armies.
In addition, after many military reforms, division commanders in the old Feng-style army were traditionally lieutenant generals, with a total of two brigades and four regiments under their jurisdiction. But in the People's Army, the division commander was first a lieutenant general and then a major general, because the unit "army" had been created and replaced the "division" unit in Beiyang. The rank of lieutenant general became the standard, which resulted in some division commanders being promoted while others were demoted.
The former governors of the Beiyang era also had different military ranks. Some had the rank of lieutenant general, some had the rank of lieutenant general, some had the rank of general, and some had the rank of general. In some local armed forces, there is no shortage of generals, major generals and commanders. Many of them have faded out of the People's Army, but what is the difference in rank between them and later officers of the People's Army, and how to straighten out the relationship between them, urgently needs to be resolved.
Also, the brigadier general thing is an imported product. Zhang Hanqing introduced this military rank after the introduction of the brigade-level Marine Corps, but after a trial period, he felt it was useless. He is thinking of completely abandoning this rank. Currently, in the People's Army, only the Marine Corps Brigade still has a brigade structure, while the others have been changed to a division system. So after finalizing, this level was cancelled. At the same time, the rank of warrant officer was also revoked.
Military reform is imperative. The first thing the German advisory group did after entering China was to complain about this, so the military reorganization began with straightening out the military ranks at all levels.
"The Military Rank System of the People's Army" has been finalized for a long time. It has been delayed in its full implementation due to a series of events. Now is the time to implement it.
After all, military ranks are important for enhancing the loyalty and sense of honor of military officers and soldiers at all levels to military organizations, keeping up with advanced foreign armies, and clarifying command relationships, responsibilities, and mutual relationships in the military to promote the regularization of the military and strengthen The coordination of command, management and support among various branches of the military plays an important role.
“Moreover, as a group of veterans are about to retire, it is becoming increasingly urgent to award military ranks in a timely manner in order to commend them for their contribution to the founding of the Republic of China and to comfort those who come after them.
Regarding military ranks, Zhang Hanqing has developed a relatively mature structure after fully comparing the understanding of Chinese and foreign armies and all parties before and after the time travel. After trialling it in some armies, he thinks it can be officially announced. According to the new regulations, the military ranks of the People's Army are divided into 14 levels, including marshal, general, colonel, lieutenant and sergeant. Among them, marshal is an honorary rank and enjoys the right to be exempted from retirement.
The rank of general as a member of the Central Military Commission is basically the official position of the Fourth Headquarters of the People's Army Military Commission, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and the Ministry of National Defense;
The general will serve as the commander-in-chief of the military region and the deputies of the fourth headquarters, the Ministry of National Defense and the tri-services headquarters;
Officers between lieutenant general and second lieutenant adopt the same fixed rank principle. Lieutenant general commander, major general division commander, colonel regiment commander, major battalion commander, captain company commander, and second lieutenant platoon leader. All deputy positions, including political cadres, are demoted one level below the chief officer. Military rank. All changes in officer positions should be based on the principle of not being lower than the current military rank.
Among non-commissioned officers, the sergeant is the acting platoon leader or squad leader, the sergeant is the deputy squad leader, and the corporal is the technical soldier.
Considering that the current situation where high-tech will have a larger proportion is far from the future, the rank of sergeant major will not be considered for some time in the future.
On May 25, the Central Military Commission of the People’s Party awarded the ranks of marshal, general and general at the Qinzheng Hall in Zhongnanhai, and decided to elaborate on China’s future military development program to these senior party generals.
The meeting was chaired by Zhang Zuolin, and several elders of the Fengxian faction were all present. Prior to this, the commanders of the eight military regions were also ordered to arrive. The brothers haven't seen each other for many years, so naturally there was a lot of excitement.
At 10 a.m., the awarding ceremony began.
The first batch of people awarded the rank of marshal were Zhang Zuolin, Sun Liechen, Wu Junsheng, Zhang Zuoxiang, and Zhang Hanqing who did their part. As the four elders of the Feng family, they deserve their reputation. On this unforgettable day, Sun Liechen attended despite his illness and solemnly performed a military salute while wearing the golden national emblem.
When Zhang Hanqing, as the successor of the Young Leaders, the party, the country and the army, put on the national emblem symbolizing the honor of marshal and took back the marshal's scepter from Zhang Zuolin, the whole audience burst into cheers.
After a series of measures taken by Shanghai Tang, his position in the military community is unbreakable. Not only his military exploits during his ten years of military service, but also his bloody spirit when facing powerful enemies. From then on, he took on the title of Young Marshal and became the Young Marshal - the youngest marshal in the history of the Republic of China.
After the five marshals, there are 11 generals.
They allThere is no need to change the inevitability of World War II. All Zhang Hanqing can do is not to inflict a baptism of blood on the people at a huge cost in the possible Sino-Japanese war.
China is currently booming, and the gap with Japan is significantly narrowing. It seems that as long as there is about 5 years of development time, it will not be difficult to comprehensively surpass Japan. Facing a China with an increasingly powerful economy and military and a vast strategic depth, will Japan really dare to launch a war of attrition that is destined to be endless?
But no matter what the form of the war, the two East Asian powers cannot coexist. China and Japan will definitely have a war. It is just a matter of the length of time and the mode of combat. At present, China still has a vast territory that has not been recovered, and China's national strategic situation is still full of crises. If we do not plan in advance, we will be in danger if we forget to fight.
Senior officers of the Ministry of National Defense headed by Jiang Baili, as strategic advisors to Zhang Hanqing and others, have been working tirelessly to write a blueprint for China's military modernization. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 748 Fans of Air Force Victory (Part 1)
In Zhang Hanqing’s conception of the future war against Japan, the Army was undoubtedly the first priority. However, what Zhang Hanqing wants is not the kind of protracted war based on ravaging the land of China, but to "defend the enemy outside the country's borders" as much as possible and reduce the destruction of the war on the homeland.
Under this desire, it is natural to establish a powerful naval and air force with counterattack and even destructive capabilities.
The candidates who can serve as forming and command these two emerging arms are the right of Guo Songling and Yang Yuting in the new and old Feng Department.
Zhang Hanqing had put a lot of effort into the appointment of Guo and Yang.
Guo Songling is the leader of the mainland faction and is supported by Zhang Hanqing. In the past, almost all members of the People's Party belonged to this faction.
When he served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Guanfeng relationship in North China, Zhang Hanqing resigned from his post in the army and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the navy to prevent accidents. Firstly, it cut off his possible connection with Sun Yat-sen in the north. Secondly, it was indeed Borrowing from his abilities: the army generals will not be too much if they have more of him, but not more if they have less of him, but the new navy will be different.
If there is anyone among the generals of the Fengjun and People's Army who can fit in with Zhang Hanqing's military philosophy, Guo Songling is definitely the number one. Where will the navy develop in the future? Trends in world navies? How can China catch up? Guo Songling, who was both a teacher and a friend, was most deeply influenced by Zhang Hanqing. The prestige he had won in the People's Army and the shackles left by the Beiyang Navy also needed him, the Optimus Prime, to conquer them.
The Air Force is somewhat new, almost starting from scratch, and is almost in the same position as the great powers. Its birth is closely related to the country's military industrial strength. The future development will change with each passing day, and generals who are not trendy cannot control this change.
Yang Yuting has long been committed to the development of Fengtian equipment. In terms of technical level and management ability, he is more suitable than others to control the Air Force.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? However, Han Linchun followed Zhang Hanqing for a long time and gradually faded away from the sergeant faction. After Jiang Dengxuan was infected by Zhang Hanqing and joined the People's Party, he gradually abandoned the small group and became a mouthpiece calling for unity within the party.
The appointment of Yang Yuting as the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force is also an attempt to make full use of his experience in military industry management and the contacts accumulated in the old Fengtian clique.
To be honest, although Yang Yuting once made some moves to form a clique, under the combined grace and power of the Zhang family and his son, he has become much more restrained than in the official history. Especially when Zhang Hanqing has so many talents under his command, his energy is being maximized. Zhang Hanqing ignored the previous suspicion and boldly re-employed him. For his own sake, he had to work hard to build up the power of the air force.
The young marshal's huge popularity and visible ability made Yang Yuting no longer able to boss around like in the official history. His bad behavior of privately recruiting recruits outside the customs made him lose his absolute influence in the heart of Marshal Zhang, leaving Jiang Baili, Han Lunchun, and Guo Songling. , Wang Yizhe and other "rising stars" surpassed.
But Yang Yuting’s ability is indeed outstanding. After “repenting from his past mistakes”, he has rejuvenated under the pressure of a large number of talents emerging from the old and new Feng dynasty.
After assuming the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, he took advantage of his long-term experience in supervising the Fengtian (Shenyang) Arsenal and the convenience of concurrently serving as the Minister of General Equipment of the People's Army (this was actually Zhang Hanqing's intention. In any case, for another part-time job There is no harm in the development of the Air Force through the back door), doing everything possible to give itself the green light, and the strength of the Air Force has increased rapidly.
With Zhang Hanqing’s full consent, he used the original faculty and students of the Liaoning Air Force and Qinhuangdao Air Force School as a team to build an aviation force equivalent to the Army. Although it is an empty frame, as the skeleton is formed, when it will become full depends on the positioning and support given by the Central Military Commission to the Air Force.
The Air Force is originally a composite service. Zhang Hanqing's future road to becoming a powerful country - a large part of his hope in the plan for the war against Japan comes from this: using the Air Force with the advantage of being a latecomer to offset the naval power of Japan and China. The huge gap prevents Japan from taking any advantage on the Chinese land.
As long as the stalemate persists for enough time, the "southern faction" in Japan will definitely regain the upper hand, which will put the U.S. navy in Asia to feel the pressure in advance, which may cause the United States to intervene in Japan's expansion in Asia and give China a chance to breathe.
In addition, when industrial capacity gradually recovers and makes a qualitative leap, it can also promote the development of various industrial industries and provide a steady stream of power for the improvement of the country's industrial economy. It is indeed a very promising strategic decision.
However, Zhang Zuolin and other marshals have doubts about the role of Zhang Hanqing's determination to carry out air power: Is it really possible for a huge warship to be sunk by an insignificant aircraft? Put people?
The basic configuration of the future air force is to have several air force wings (divisions) under its jurisdiction, which will include aircraft types with different responsibilities such as fighters, bombers, transport aircraft, etc. Each wing has a flying combat group (regimental level), a base (airport), an air defense regiment and a medical squadron. Among them, the combat group is the core, with three squadrons (battalions) under its jurisdiction, and all combat aircraft will be incorporated into it.
The base is an independent residence of the combat brigade and is also at the regiment level. It has one battalion each for maintenance, ground support and security.
The squadron will consist of four squadrons, each with four aircraft, and a total of 18 aircraft including the aircraft of the principal and deputy squadron leaders. This was formulated with reference to Germany's advanced four-plane air tactics during World War II.
Although it is not clear where the excellence lies for the time being, Zhang Hanqing is also an outsider, but since even the United States, a major aviation country, has to learn from it after the war, and since the squadron establishment in almost all countries in the world will be like this in the future, there must be a reason. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 749 Fans of Air Force Victory (Part 2)
The Chinese Air Force has just been established. It can avoid detours by directly exploring advanced experience. Anyway, the military circles are in the dark about how to organize the Air Force. Let’s just set it in the Air Force tactical regulations. After running in for a long time, you will naturally be forced to form a theory.
But unlike the United States in later generations, the aviation wing is not only responsible for the logistics support of its own aircraft, but also ensures all friendly forces stationed at the airport or participating in combat missions. Each combat brigade can focus on fighting. "When you go to heaven, you fight, and when you land, you stay in a hotel." They don't have to worry about clothing, food, housing, transportation, repairs, and maintenance. In this way, they can check into any airport across the country at any time and go into battle!
Although everything is still on paper now, the large-scale construction of the Air Force is about to begin. According to the principle of "people wait for equipment", it is necessary to establish a number of base wings without combat groups in advance - there will never be aircraft There's nowhere to stop or refuel, right?
The airports in Harbin, Changchun, Shenyang, Qinhuangdao and Tianjin have all been built, while the construction of Siping has been cancelled. When everything needs to be streamlined, direct transfer from Changchun to Shenyang can be achieved. Beijing had Nanyuan Airport during the Zhili system, but at that time the Zhili system only had a few small planes, but the Fengxi system took advantage of it.
The Air Force decided to build multiple airports along the coast. Starting from Tianjin, one more is added to the north: Jinzhou. Its mission is to assist in the attack on Dalian, where the Kwantung Army is entrenched, during wartime.
The south coast is the first-line base, including Jinan, Qingdao, Yantai, Xuzhou, Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Guangzhou and Zhanjiang, a total of 13;
The second-tier bases include Changsha, Nanchang, Wuhan, Hefei, Zhengzhou, and Shijiazhuang, a total of 6; the third-tier bases include Taiyuan, Guisui, Xi'an, Lanzhou, Yinchuan, Chengdu, Chongqing, Nanning, Guiyang, and Kunming, a total of 10;
In the far northwest, a total of 6 cities including Altay, Dihua, Hami, Yumen, Xining and Yinchuan are under construction.
A total of 20 first-line airports will be built in Beijing, Tianjin, Qinhuangdao, Jinzhou, Shenyang, Changchun, and Harbin in advance. These are the forefront of China's coastal defense line, tasked with supporting naval and army operations, and also tasked with defending maritime airspace. .
Therefore, it is necessary to establish some air defense groups in advance according to the airport conditions. Of course, the military rank of a base wing commander without a combat group is lower, a colonel, rather than a major general when fully staffed.
Do what you can in advance, and bite the bullet if you have difficulties. In Zhang Hanqing's view, talent reserve is more important than anything else. He creatively put forward the construction steps of "introduction, imitation, surpassing, accumulation, quality instead of quantity". With limited funds, the Chinese Air Force quickly took a big step forward.
In the national defense strategy of Zhang Hanqing, Fengjun veterans, Jiang Baili and others, a war between China and Japan is inevitable - Chinese public opinion has listed the recovery of Japanese-occupied Kanto Prefecture as the first choice. This is also the key to whether the Republic of China can become a sovereign and independent country. national symbol.
And Japan cannot give up its occupation of Kanto Prefecture no matter what - some Japanese even liken Kanto to their "second hometown." From the perspective of public opinion, the Japanese people cannot allow Japan to abandon Kanto Prefecture.
In the long history of China and foreign countries, no country has ever achieved the status of a great power without going through a war. In modern times, China only achieved the status of a great power after defeating the United Nations forces led by the United States in the Korean War. In the 1970s when the national economy was not wealthy, It has become one of the "big triangles" of great importance to the international community.
If old China wants to become a real great power, war is inevitable, and Japan is the first obstacle to China's rise!
Although China’s economy has achieved considerable development, it is impossible to form a comprehensive and overwhelming advantage over Japan in the short term: the military innovation debt owed since the Opium War cannot be repaid in one day.
Although China has an army of one million, they all grew up during the civil war. The gap with foreign advanced military concepts, logistical support, joint operations and combat experience has not narrowed, but widened.
As far as Japan’s current strength is concerned, the Chinese government must mobilize the whole country and invest all its fiscal revenue for five years in order to build a navy of the same size!
This does not include the inability to produce. So far, vehicle engines, aerospace engines, railway locomotives and large ship steam engines that restrict China's transportation cannot be independently manufactured. The booming industry has made the production of coal and steel far less than demand.
“In case the Sino-Japanese war forms a stalemate like that of later generations, this stalemate must be kept as far away from China as possible. The weakness of the navy made it a joke to travel across the ocean to attack the Japanese mainland.
But air strikes are another matter: air transportation is not only shorter than the distance on land and sea, but also has no geographical obstacles, making it easier to move. And air combat can penetrate enemy defense lines through air traffic.?It has something to do with the wealth of the United States. After all, people are rich and can afford to support a large number of high-ranking Air Force officers.
But now, like Japan, the U.S. Air Force still has not formed an independent service. It did not break away from the Army until 1947 in official history, two years after the end of World War II. Therefore, although its concept of military ranks exceeds that of Japan, there is still a gap between it and China from a systemic level.
It is said that under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. The country's needs and generous treatment have made more and more talents willing to join the air force, especially the pilot team. This has enabled China to not only keep pace with the great powers in terms of hardware in the initial stage of the air force, but also reserve a large number of outstanding talents, showing that it is a major aviation country. potential and style.
Of course, this is related to China’s huge population base. When there are more people, there is a lot of room for selection, and admission can be easily made on the basis of merit.
Anyway, with this favorable situation, the number of pilots has doubled exponentially, which has laid a good foundation for the rapid expansion of the Air Force. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 750 The battle between sea and air
The huge development of the Chinese Air Force cannot but put pressure on another People’s Party general, Guo Songling. However, the country's military expenditure is limited, especially during the period of large-scale industrialization.
Because the government plans to introduce compulsory education for all and invest a large proportion in industry and transportation, relatively speaking, the navy can get a smaller share of the pie.
Taking 1925 as an example, national defense expenditure accounted for about 1/4 of fiscal revenue, which was 835 million yuan. This number has increased tenfold compared to the Beiyang era, and the number allocated to the navy has naturally increased, but Guo Gongling is still not satisfied.
According to the practice of the Republic of China, the entire military has a commander-in-chief of the army and a commander-in-chief of the navy. As the commander-in-chief of the navy, Guo Songling should have been extremely influential in the military circles. However, seeing that the air force's military expenditures are in the hundreds of millions, the amount that can be allocated to the navy is only Half of it.
Zhang Hanqing has a famous saying when talking about the proportion of the three armed forces, that is, the "half and half" theory: "The navy's expenditure should account for half of the air force, and the air force's expenditure should account for half of the army." This slogan lasted for nearly 10 years when the national strength was not yet able to coordinate the development of the three armed forces. Under the guidance of this national strategy, it has become inevitable to prioritize the army, rapidly expand the air force, and moderately develop the navy.
Knowing that he had to obey the overall situation, Guo Songling still often approached Zhang Hanqing to complain about the navy.
"Young Marshal, this military expenditure is only enough for the navy to maintain its current operations. If we want to achieve the blue water navy that the Young Marshal dreams of, the current investment is not enough! We must know that the development of the navy is not achieved overnight. The Young Marshal himself often says 'Century Navy'——Can you allocate some more funds?"
It is indeed difficult for him. Generally speaking, the construction cost of the Japanese battleship "Yamato" is as high as 13 million silver dollars. The entire navy's military expenditure for a year can only build 9 such warships. Excluding the food, accommodation, training, and maintenance of machinery, equipment, and ships for officers and soldiers, there is really very little money that can be used to purchase new warships.
This is not because Zhang Hanqing is partial, but because the navy is really too money-hungry. To build warships, you need a shipyard, right? There must be various equipment, right? Even if only a warship of a few hundred tons is built, the complete supporting factories, mines, enterprises and machinery and equipment are indispensable, as are the skilled workers and management cadres who serve it.
Considering that the country is almost starting from scratch in the navy, just by investing in infrastructure, several Yamatos can be built every year.
What's more, the naval academy, ports, bases, and related auxiliary forces serving the fleet, such as shore artillery units, Marine Corps, etc., are all being organized in an orderly manner. Each of them costs money. According to Yang Yuting, "military expenses are all given to the navy." It’s not enough”——This guy is just making sarcastic remarks. Anyway, the Air Force has thrown a lot of money at him.
"I can't help it. The situation is too big. The Navy is paying for decades of debt! However, our efforts in the basic field will be repaid tenfold in the future. I guarantee that in five years, when we slow down After this momentum is passed, the investment in the navy will increase tremendously, and my ideal of building a powerful navy will never fade away!"
That’s all it can do. Fortunately, although the navy’s funding is only half of that of the air force, it does not mean that the navy has been left out in the cold. In Zhang Hanqing’s heart, a powerful navy is still one of the symbols of China’s strength. No matter how weak China's current naval power is, an existing naval fleet is necessary.
As the famous U.S. naval strategist Mahan concluded, an unknown fleet, "so long as it exists, even if weak, is a constant threat to the more or less open interests of the enemy. They do not He knew when he would be attacked and had to limit his actions until the fleet was destroyed or subdued."
In later generations, only the navy is an international branch of the military. It is responsible for the first choice of visits to show goodwill and expand overseas interests, and is recognized as a "mobile land".
If it weren’t for the weakness of the navy in future generations, how could China’s South China Sea Islands allow coastal ASEAN to run rampant? How can the treasure island of Taiwan remain outside the country for a long time and keep the door open to those close to it? How could China spend a lot of money to purchase four "modern-class" destroyers that it knew would soon be eliminated but still had to meet its urgent needs?
Past experience guide for the future. It's just that the front and back seem a bit reversed.
Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, China's naval image has plummeted in front of the world, and its power development has also taken a big step back. What lies before the under-construction navy is: Should the Chinese navy follow the path of giant ships and cannons and dare to catch up with the great powers of Britain, the United States, and Japan, or should it take another shortcut and fight so-called "asymmetric warfare"? Zhang Hanqing from later generations wisely chose the latter.
It’s very simple. China’s current situation is exactly the same as that in the early days of liberation: a lack of machinery, equipment, and talents to build large ships.
Not to mention far away, even if the Chinese Army introduces GermanyThere is not enough strength for large-scale naval warfare, and there is a lack of preparation for small-scale raids. It is a state of "high or low". The Nanjing government concentrated its warships in the narrow waters of the Jiangyin section of the Yangtze River, which made them easy targets for Japanese aircraft. After the war began, there was a tragedy of all sinking or being bombed.
Some people who defended the Kuomintang authorities only attributed the Chinese navy to being wiped out without even a single naval battle with the Japanese army. They only attributed this to backward equipment and did not reflect on the guiding ideology of naval construction and operations.
In fact, using backward equipment to resist the enemy can lead to special fighting methods. This is common in the history of world naval warfare. Being unable to go to sea and scuttling or waiting to die is a great tragedy that future generations will sigh in retrospect! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 751 Empty, Submerged, Fast
Naturally, Zhang Hanqing remembered the three-character formula of the development of the New China Navy - "air, submarine and speed".
Although the share of the navy's military expenditure is relatively small, compared with the early Republic of China, the absolute amount of the navy's military expenditure has not declined, but has doubled - this depends on the leap of the national economy. Although Guo Songling was aggrieved by the navy's ranking, he never cared about what he did:
The young marshal's "unfettered" thinking greatly inspired Guo Songling. With his rich knowledge of land warfare and the combat experience of the Yangtze River Fleet's 1st Marine Brigade in the southwest, he was quickly assigned to the Bohai and Yangtze Rivers respectively. The three marine units of the South China Fleet and the Third Fleet have their own unique training programs and equipment, and have formed initial combat effectiveness.
For the formation of the naval aviation force, which is the top priority in the army-building ideology of integrating air, ships and submarines, Guo Songling completed it more thoroughly. By the end of 1925, the establishment of 2 water aircraft groups (regiment-level organization, each containing 1 reconnaissance/patrol aircraft squadron with 6 aircraft, and 3 "Water Bomb-1" torpedo attack aircraft squadrons with 12 aircraft each) had been completed.
In addition, through various efforts and preparations for possible future war between China and Japan, the Harbin Seaplane Manufacturing Factory has the ability to produce hundreds of such seaplanes annually. To maintain such capabilities, "Kong", an important part of China's naval modernization, already has a cornerstone.
Thanks to the invention of torpedoes, a new type of naval ship specialized in using torpedoes began to appear, giving hope to weak maritime countries. These are torpedo boats and submarines. Since January 26, 1878, the two Russian torpedo boats "Cesme" and "Sinop" successfully sank the Turkish warship "Intiba Kekh". The role of torpedoes has been It caused a strong shock among the navies of Western countries.
Many people realize that torpedoes are a very powerful weapon, because the cost of manufacturing torpedoes and torpedo boats is much cheaper than building armored ships and cruisers, but it can give armored ships or torpedoes Cruisers deliver a fatal blow, especially if a country with a weak navy seems likely to challenge the largest naval power at a relatively small cost.
Submarine is a relatively cost-effective weapon for countries with backward navies. It can use water cover to carry out covert activities and carry out surprise attacks on enemies. It has large self-sufficiency, endurance and combat radius, and can be far away from bases. It can operate independently for a long time and in a large ocean area, and even deep into enemy sea areas, and has strong assault power; it can launch torpedoes and lay mines underwater to attack sea targets.
Therefore, Germany vigorously developed submarines during the two wars when it engaged in naval wars with Britain. Compared with manufacturing large warships, this thing was more cost-effective.
Historically, China is the same. Aircraft carriers (equivalent to battleships in the early 20th century) cannot compete with others in developing submarines. Firstly, it can cruise around the world's oceans unnoticed and attack imperial merchant ships and warships. Secondly, it can attack from below with torpedoes, which is more efficient in destroying the ship's armor than using cannons to bombard it.
Because of this, early submarines were regarded as ungentlemanly weapons, and submarine officers and soldiers were even regarded as pirates.
Zhang Hanqing doesn't mind whether he is a gentleman or not. War is war. The gentlemanly style of fighting with others "uprightly" like Song Xianggong only adds to the laughter. "Soldiers who, deception also". As long as you can win, you can do whatever you want.
Under Zhang Hanqing's suggestion, the navy's main operational concept was defined as using cheap and fast torpedo boats and large-scale submarines as the main attack weapons, under the suppression of superior naval aviation, to carry out large-scale, long-term attacks on the enemy's weak transportation lines. The intrusion of time.
Japan is a country that relies heavily on overseas energy markets. In the face of a possible large-scale submarine war by China, it is really a question whether it can sustain it for three months.
Under the guidance of this idea, the Navy spent huge sums of money to introduce two sets of submarine production lines from Germany during World War I, and began to be launched at the Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard and the Fujian Shipbuilding Bureau under the leadership of German experts. In order to adapt the navy to future naval battles as quickly as possible, three German World War I submarines were purchased at a high price during the same period as training ships.
After the war, the Allied Powers obtained a large amount of German ordnance. Some of it was kept for their own use, and the rest was given to the Allies or sold. For example, Japan received seven German submarines as a reward for its navy's "meritorious service" in protecting British ships. Became the origin of Japan's submarine force.
China obtained these three "obsolete and obsolete" submarines thanks to the help of German arms dealers. Otherwise, with the British mentality of defending against China, they would not be able to obtain "restricted-class" heavy weapons anyway.
Under the full efforts of Chinese and German officials and military businessmen, the British Admiralty managers who accepted bribes half-opened their eyes and allowed the Germans to purchase and recycle them on the grounds that the Blohm Voss shipyard in Hamburg needed a large amount of scrap steel. , and quickly handed it over to the Chinese Navy submarine trainees and technicians who had been waiting here.
With the assistance of the German military, these three submarines traveled around the worldInstead of striving for scale and production capacity at this time - this is undoubtedly a short-sighted behavior that will only drag down China's economic development.
From the perspective of the Japanese navy, which has considerable numbers and huge tonnage and has always believed in "big guns and big ships", these Chinese forces can only be regarded as "conceptual and toy-type" navies.
No wonder a senior Japanese naval officer said sarcastically: "After the Chinese failed in the 'Japanese-Qing War' (known as the 'Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War' in Chinese history) with hostage, they worked tirelessly to build a large number of useless warships." Small warships came to flood the battlefield. They really naively thought they could shake 'King Kong' with these warships!"
(Note: The "King Kong" class is considered the first Japanese warship in the era of giant ships and artillery. It is a Japanese giant battleship in the 1920s, with a displacement of 32,000 tons) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 752 Earthshaking Changes
??
Based on many discussions among the elites of the Ministry of National Defense and Zhang Hanqing’s suggestions, the Military Commission headed by Zhang Zuolin finally completed the adjustment of the national military strategy at the end of 1925. The main concepts of this change are:
Serialization and standardization of army equipment;
The concreteness of the role of the air force and the clarification of its development direction;
The initial formation of the naval strategy—Light Blue Navy Plan;
Established a compulsory military service system, established the National Defense Mobilization Bureau, and formally established the concept of "people's war".
After mankind has entered a three-dimensional war in which multiple services and arms collaborate, the confrontation of weapons has become a complex system confrontation. An important manifestation of the advantages of military equipment in developed countries is the strong system matching and standardization.
The corruption and disunity of old China manifested themselves in poor self-control in terms of weapons and chaotic outsourcing. Warlords of various factions purchase weapons separately (often depending on whether they can obtain political support and the amount of rebates). The guns alone come from more than a dozen countries, making it known as the "Weapons Museum of All Nations."
This kind of equipment chaos is a disaster for logistics support. During wartime, parts often do not match the guns and the ammunition is not in the right chamber. It is also subject to the selling country's ability to supply ammunition in a timely manner.
Of course Zhang Hanqing knew the disadvantages, just because he had been in the warlord melee, and before the country was unified, standard equipment had only been initially implemented in areas under the control of the Feng Faction and the People's Army. However, due to various reasons, this plan could only be aborted.
Due to his outstanding performance in the General Mobilization Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, Bai Chongxi was appointed as the Minister of the newly established Army Equipment Department. This military strategist known as "Little Zhuge" in the Republic of China finally found a stage in life in advance and spared no effort in the construction of the Army. Much appreciated. Following the "Three-Self" policy he once proposed, he consolidated the three previously established construction corps of Xinjiang, Mongolia, and Beidahuang with up to 500,000 people, and deployed troops among the people. In this way, heavy troops were deployed covertly in the northwest, north and northeast.
Under this concept, all arsenals in Shenyang, Taiyuan, Dezhou, Hanyang, Chongqing, Lanzhou, Guiyang, and Guangzhou have all converted to standard production within a time limit to realize the standardization of the entire military equipment and facilitate logistics and equipment.
As a latecomer, Zhang Hanqing knew the configuration of the Japanese army: at that time, the transportation conditions in mainland China were poor, and land battles were mostly conducted by foot and mules and horses. Heavy artillery was rarely used. The two sides mainly fought with infantry weapons and light artillery.
Zhang Hanqing had often seen the standard weapons of the Japanese infantry invading China in movies - soldiers carried "38 big covers" and "crooked machine guns", and officers carried "bastard | boxes". Their performance was lagging behind in the world at that time. equipment for Western countries and the Soviet Union.
However, Japan established a complete supporting arms industry from the eve of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 to World War I, and the equipment was basically self-produced. Although the performance of the Japanese army's firearms was not superior at that time, standardization and serialization made it easier to organize firepower and ensure the supply of ammunition.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the equipment and technology level of the Japanese Army was actually not very high. This was mainly because its industrial level lagged behind that of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union. Before the war, its military production followed a "focus doctrine" and caught up with the international advanced level in terms of aircraft and ships, while leaving behind ground equipment. in a secondary development position.
In the summer of 1939, the Japanese Kwantung Army clashed with the Soviet army commanded by Zhukov in Nomenkan. Its backward land warfare weapons could not withstand the mechanized troops. The Sixth Army was defeated, with 18,000 killed (three times the number of deaths as the Soviet army).
After that, although the Japanese Army proposed to improve its army equipment, it was still unable to take care of both due to the "hyper-focus doctrine" of supporting sea and air during the Pacific War.
At that time, the Japanese Army’s equipment, which was much smaller in number than the Kuomintang Army, was rampant in China with equipment that did not have superior performance. The important reason was that it was highly systematized.
At the beginning of the "August 13" Anti-Japanese War in history, China's firepower was still able to partially suppress the Japanese army. However, Hitler, who was closely related to Chiang Kai-shek's regime, deliberately delayed the supply of ammunition because he was worried about the protests of his ally Japan. As a result, the Kuomintang Central Army felt that it was short of ammunition a month or two after the full-scale war against Japan, and the confusion of equipment models also caused problems for the organization. Fire creates difficulties.
At that time, the Chinese and Japanese military positions had been fighting for a long time, and the Japanese were able to rely on better weapons and sufficient supplies of ammunition, and they had a clear advantage in firepower.
During the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, someone concluded: In the first month of the war, four Chinese German weapon divisions could withstand one Japanese division; by the third month, six German weapon divisions could no longer withstand one Japanese division.
However, things are different now. China’s existing conditions make it possible and necessary for the army to first enter the standardization stage.
Unlike the old days when there were few cannons, whether good or bad came first, there was no need to pick whether the cannon was British or metric, as long as the shells could be fired. After a period of development, when you have more weapons at your disposal, you can merge and classify the messy artillery pieces of each unit, and phase out obsolete ones in a step-by-step manner.For unpopular mountain artillery (such as Japanese artillery), Russian and British or metric artillery are listed separately.
The People's Army has a large number of land forces, and standardization can alleviate the troubles in logistics, equipment, training and command.
Under the leadership of the People's Party | with the country's increasingly abundant financial resources, the configuration of the People's Army's ground forces has become unmatched in history: comparing the configuration of a standard army division with a Japanese A-type division, the Japanese army has more ground heavy weapons than The performance of the Chinese army is not superior.
A Japanese Class A division supports artillery including 24 Type 41 75mm mountain guns, 12 75mm cannons (also known as field guns) and 24 Type 38 70mm infantry guns, a total of 60 artillery pieces, but their performance is not as good as that purchased by China during the same period. And transformed domestic products from the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany, the Czech Republic and so on.
China’s divisional artillery regiment initially had 54 75mm mountain guns. After their popularity, they were gradually upgraded, but the total number is still 54.
The caliber of most of the Chinese army’s mountain artillery was originally 75 mm, among which the products made by the German Krupp factory had the best performance. Due to the gap in heavy industry levels, domestically produced imitations are slightly inferior to the original ones.
Among all the arsenals in China, the Shenyang arsenal is the best in imitation, and other factories are catching up. However, after the introduction of a howitzer production line of the same caliber from the Soviet Union in early 1924, the production of mountain guns came to an end. Due to the large-scale mass production of Chinese automobiles during the same period, the People's Army artillery initially realized truck towing, and the disadvantages of mountain guns began to appear.
Perhaps because of his obsession with artillery, or because he was frightened by the weak firepower, not only Zhang Hanqing, but also Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuoxiang and other old Fengtian generals strongly supported the expansion of his artillery.
From doing everything possible to buy, steal, and rob in the early stage, to later sparing no effort to build, and using various means to buy equipment, the artillery of the People's Army comes from a variety of sources, including equipment from old Russia, the Czech Republic, the Soviet Union, Germany, the United States, and even Japan. The number of production lines is increasing day by day.
Anyway, there is plenty of money, and the manufacturing of 75mm mountain cannon is relatively simple.
Until the People's Army gained an overall advantage, the establishment of the General Armament Department put the production of artillery on the right track, and gradually realized standardization and standardization. The quality of artillery also began to improve, and the quantity also experienced earth-shaking changes.
In less than two years, the production of 75mm light howitzers has become saturated. Zhang Hanqing's next focus is to significantly compress this production line and move towards replacing larger caliber cannons in small steps. . With the help of the Germans, these things that were previously considered impossible are being implemented one by one.
Throughout 1925, the People's Army arsenals produced 4,000 75mm (light) grenades and field guns, and 600 105mm howitzers. Together with the previously existing weapons, these weapons could arm 42 field artillery regiments, 143 mountain artillery regiments and 11 heavy howitzer regiments.
According to the standard configuration of the 144 artillery regiments of the 36 corps of the People's Army, all divisional artillery regiments are uniformly equipped with howitzers (75mm mountain cannon or 105mm howitzer), and the field artillery is decentralized to the regiment level. Enhance the ability of front-line troops to tackle difficult problems.
Of course, the number of field artillery is currently insufficient, so each regiment is first assigned a battalion, and some even have only one company. Therefore, Zhang Hanqing decided to convert the production of mountain cannons to field cannons, and the excess production capacity will be upgraded or suspended.
Eight of the eleven 105th artillery regiments are assigned to the elite 27th Army and the 29th Army. The former guards the Central Committee and the latter guards the Japanese in the Northeast. The remaining three served as the military-affiliated artillery regiments of the 1st, 4th, and 28th armies respectively, replacing the original light howitzers.
This is also a common practice. All new equipment of the Army will be supplied to these five main forces first.
Two of the 10 extra light howitzer regiments are assigned to the newly created 6 Marine Corps brigades as brigade-level fire support: numbered 5th to 10th, they are equipped with three fleets respectively to strengthen the coastal areas. mobile combat capabilities in various locations.
In addition to being used as replacements for old cannons, the remaining cannons are also transferred to reserves or used for actual combat training of military academy cadets. From a rare cannon to a large surplus now, the People's Army has gone through a difficult development path.
This was also the Chinese government’s confidence in facing great powers such as Britain and Japan during the May 30th period.
If the strength of the army is a practical need to protect the political power from interference by foreign powers, then the navy's precautionary measures reflect Zhang Hanqing's astonishing foresight. The People's Navy has just learned to walk, and he is already preparing to run in the future.
With the help of their German counterparts, the Chinese government spent a huge US$10 million to purchase several treasures from Germany: a 15,000-ton hydraulic press and three 70-ton acid open-hearth furnaces. The external statement was to revitalize China's shipbuilding industry. .
But everyone in the know knows that ordinary commercial ships simply don’t need such high-end stuff, because they can make 650mm thick armor steel plates!
Of course, in order to reduce doubts, these things were placed in inland Wuhan.
If anyone checks the information about Wuhan Shipyard in the files of the General Armament Department at this time, they will definitely be surprised: although it can only produce ships of less than 3,000 tons on the surface, it already has a complete range of large warships, including submarines. A complete set of equipment inside, as well as supporting naval weapons manufacturing planning.
“In view of the needs of the real economy, the construction of the navy is first based on dual-use military and civilian uses. It first accumulates mature civilian shipbuilding experience and then applies it to warships naturally. This will not only prevent a large amount of funds from being occupied, but also avoid arousing the sensitive nerves of the great powers at this time.
Anyway, the construction of the navy cannot be accomplished in one fell swoop. At this time, the world's naval community is still lagging behind in the development of the navy. China has every opportunity to catch up or even surpass it. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The information about the Wuhan Shipyard in the case will definitely surprise you: although it can only produce ships of less than 3,000 tons on the surface, it already has a complete set of equipment for large warships, including submarines, as well as supporting equipment. naval weapons manufacturing plan.

Chapter 753 Transportation Construction (Part 1)
??
Although the Chinese army has far surpassed neighboring Japan in terms of absolute numbers, Zhang Hanqing knows that modern warfare is not only about numerical superiority, but more importantly, strategic surprise and the ability to concentrate troops.
To effectively control such a large country and achieve the purpose of deterring hostile forces in terms of national defense, for a traditional land power like China, mobility capabilities, that is, strategic transportation capabilities, are very important. If sufficient troops cannot be invested in decisive battles, the batch deployment of friendly forces far away cannot quench the thirst for near water, which can only be a tactic to add fuel to the fire.
Not only for military needs, transportation is also a very important factor in economic development. Isn't there a saying: "If you want to be rich, build roads first." The first very important national development strategy of the People's Government is the transportation construction, and its implementation started with tariff independence.
In other words, only with tariff independence can the government have the financial capacity to complete this major project that has attracted worldwide attention.
The benefits of tariff independence are very obvious: except for Kanto Prefecture, which Japan still occupies, other places have already realized state-owned customs. By the end of 1924, Harbin had firmly occupied the top spot in China's customs tax revenue, which provided a great contribution to the booming national economy. Development was infused with necessary blood and nutrients.
When the government of the Republic of China nationalized customs duties, a large industrial and trade zone was formed across the country, led by Shanghai and followed by Guangzhou, except for Northeast China. Due to the increase in foreign trade, fiscal revenue has increased significantly compared with last year, which truly reflects the economic capabilities of the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta and greatly guarantees the various constructions of the central government.
It is precisely with this opportunity that China's railway construction under Zhang Hanqing's plan has begun with great vigor. The person in charge of railway construction arranged by Zhang Hanqing was Lu Zuofu, who was surprising but had to be praised later.
Zhang Hanqing used talents like Lu Zuofu in an eclectic way, even though they were not members of the Kuomintang. But in terms of the great cause of building a new China, he believes that the People's Party should have a grand mind, save everything, use its talents according to its capabilities, and attract a large number of outstanding people from outside the party to join the government.
The exclusion and fear of people outside the party are precisely manifestations of lack of self-confidence, and the party’s United Front Work Department should play the above-mentioned role.
In the early years of the Republic of China, after the changes in the late Qing Dynasty, people's wisdom was opened up, and enriching the country and strengthening the people became the inevitable choice for this nation to rise again. It is China's good fortune and the People's Party's greatest achievement to have a group of China's best intellectual elites take their own responsibility for the rise and fall of the country and take the initiative to devote themselves to the comprehensive reform of politics, economy, and ideological concepts.
Because these intellectuals possess a noble character that has never been matched by businessmen of past dynasties: regardless of personal wealth, they strive to revitalize the national economy.
The total railway mileage in old China is the lowest among major countries, even far less than India. And China's railways are concentrated in the northeast. In such a huge country, there were only a few trunk lines that could be counted in the customs before entering the customs: the Beijing-Hankou, Guangdong-Hankou Railway and Jinpu-Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, which were separated by the Yangtze River, were far from being connected. The Longhai Railway, as well as the Shijiazhuang-Taiwan Railway and the Qingjiao Line built for coal transportation.
Under the leadership of the People's Party, it took three and four years to build two road and railway bridges in Wuhan and Nanjing on the Yangtze River. The most important Beijing-Shanghai line and Beijing-Guangzhou line were fully connected. This is A remarkable achievement.
For the most difficult western route of the Longhai Line, Zhang Hanqing started planning since he entered the northwest. The large amount of funds he invested in the northwest and five years of reserves allowed the western route to be put into operation even earlier than the middle section.
It was also because of the final destruction of the direct line that it became possible to connect Tongguan to Luoyang. In 1924, it was successfully opened to traffic under the attention of the Transportation Committee. In this way, trains from Haizhou can reach Lanzhou directly, and the planned Longhai Line is fully connected.
However, in order to connect the northwest border, Zhang Hanqing began the research and construction of the westward extension section based on the Longhai Line.
The reason for research and construction is that while planning, we should start construction on easier routes first based on the principle of easier things first and then harder ones. After gaining corresponding experience, we can start construction on other road sections. This method is carried out everywhere.
In order to compete for economic rights with the South Manchuria Railway under Japanese control, the Jingjia Line built by the old Feng|Feng government was also completed. This main line starts from Beijing, connects Chengde and Chifeng in Rehe Province, passes through Tongliao, and goes from Taipingchuan to Da'an and Harbin. It connects to the North-Manchuria Railway and reaches the terminal station Jiamusi. It bypasses the important cities in the Northeast, Shenyang and Changchun, and becomes the successor to Beijing and Fengcheng ( Shenyang) line is another strategic artery.
It intersects with the newly built Tonghua-Zhengjiatun branch line in Taipingchuan, which can ensure that it can reach the Tonghua and Ji'an lines on the China-North Korea border in a short time, seriously threatening Japan's military presence in the Northeast.
Since the Northeast will be the frontline of the battle between China and Japan, this war-ready railway has been built, and the central government will gradually shift the focus of industry, transportation, and economy to the inland to enhance the country's ability to resist risks—— ——This is the same as not putting your eggs in one basket.
The 4 horizontal and 4 vertical railway planned by Sun Yat-sen during his lifetime has been fully constructed. In addition to the Beijing-Guangzhou Line and the Beijing-Shanghai Line, which have already been opened to traffic, all main lines have been launched at the same time. If there is no money, finding solutions through national allocation, provincial fund-raising, debt borrowing, etc. is called "creating conditions but also improving".
According to the plan, all provinces will start construction first if they have conditions and good economic performance, and also adopt the method of segmented construction and segmented operation to maximize the return of funds. The main projects that will start construction in the first phase include:
1. Based on the Zhengtai Railway (Zhengding, Hebei to Taiyuan, Shanxi) and Jiaoji Railway (Qingdao-Jinan), build a railway connecting Shijiazhuang-Hengshui-Dezhou, and reach Jinan through the Jinpu Line, forming Jiaotai line;
2. Build a difficult railway between the mountains of Sichuan Province, known as the "Land of Abundance": the Chengdu-Chongqing Line (Chengdu-Chongqing) to connect the two largest cities in the southwest through the Yangtze River waterway in Chongqing , contributing Sichuan’s rich products to the outside world;
3. Build a branch line between the Guangdong-Hankong Railway and the Beijing-Kowloon Railway under construction, and extend it east and west to form a transportation artery. Initially, Zhuzhou, Hunan, Xinyu, Jiangxi, and Xiangyong will be used as branch lines, and eventually the east and west will be extended to form Jin. The (China)-Guizhou (China) line may be extended to Kunming when the time is right.
There is also an important branch line from Wuchang to Jiujiang in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as a Lanzhou-Dunhuang section that connects the northwest, and eventually extends to Xinjiang to become the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line, which serves as a strategic channel connecting the central and northwest and opening up the road to Europe.
4. Because Shanxi has Luliang Mountain in the west and Taihang Mountain in the east, it has become necessary to build a trunk line Tongpu Railway that runs through the north and south of the province in relatively prosperous Shanxi.
The planned Tong-Pu Railway is a north-south railway line running through central Shanxi Province, from Datong at the northernmost end via Taiyuan to Fenglingdu, Puzhou Town, Yongji City at the southernmost end. The total length is 865 kilometers, bounded by Taiyuan, and divided into North Tongpu and South Tongpu.
In addition, in order to enhance the country’s ability to control the northern border, Zhang Hanqing also actively planned the Beijing-Kujiang Line. This line was first built from Beijing to Zhangjiakou, and then extended to Jining at an appropriate opportunity.
It will be bifurcated here into two sections, one heading west to connect Guisui, the provincial capital of Suiyuan (modern Hohhot) and Baotou, and one continuing north to Kulun, the capital of the Mongolian Autonomous Province. When the opportunity permits, it will communicate with Soviet transportation lines.
In Lanzhou, the focus of the Longhai Line and the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line, a Lanbao Line connecting Ningxia and Suiyuan will be built. It starts from Lanzhou in the southwest, passes through Zhongwei, Yinchuan, Wuhai and Linhe in the northeast to Baotou, and is connected to the railway from Beijing to Baotou. The purpose is to use Lanzhou's important geographical location to conveniently transport Baotou's energy resources to Lanzhou, and to radiate the entire northwest through the development of Lanzhou.
In terms of connecting the southwest and the capital, the Beijing-Chongqing line starting from Chongqing, passing through Da County, Ankang, Xi'an, Jiexiu, Taiyuan, and passing through Yuanping to Beijing is also on the agenda. Because the Longhai Railway has reached Baoji in the west, the Ministry of Railways used its main force to "smash" the mountain roads leading from Chengdu to Mianyang to Guangyuan to Yangpingguan. It only took nearly 29 months to connect the railway tracks. We arrived at the Longhai Line where Baoji is located.
Considering the seriousness of traffic in this area and its importance to the development of Southwest China after its opening to traffic, it is not an exaggeration to describe the central government and the people of Sichuan as "overjoyed".
As an important passage from central Sichuan to the outside world, the Guizhou-Chongqing line from Chongqing to Guizhou has also started construction. Once connected to the planned Jin (Hua) Gui (Zhou) Line, the Land of Abundance can also easily communicate with major trunk lines, truly forming a dense transportation network across the country.
Looking at the scale of China’s railway construction, Zhang Hanqing is not complacent. Because compared with the scale of railway construction in the United States on the other side of the ocean, China's actions can only be regarded as childish.
In the 10 years from 1880 to 1890, the operating mileage of main railway lines in the United States increased from 150,000 kilometers to 268,000 kilometers, with an average annual construction of 11,800 kilometers. Among them, the average annual construction from 1886 to 1890 was 12,400 kilometers, which is 3.6 times the planned annual scale of railway construction in my country's "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" 120 years later!
In 1885, the population of the United States was less than 50 million, which was only equivalent to half the population of Henan Province; the annual steel production was less than 2 million tons; the total assets of the 4,350 banks in the United States were only US$2.4 billion.
It can also be compared with the emphasis on transportation in Tsarist Russia: the Trans-Siberian Railway spent 1.46 billion rubles from 1891 to 1901, far exceeding the military expenditure during the same period. Even at the height of the Russo-Japanese War, the Russians did not stop the pace of its construction. Instead, they worked hard and forcibly opened the Trans-Siberian Railway on July 13, 1904.
The development of the war further proved the importance of this railway: Although Russia suffered a defeat in the Far East, Japan did not receive any compensation during the post-war negotiations due to the long-term mobilization significance and transportation capabilities brought by the Trans-Siberian Railway. , basically a miserable victory.
China has such a vast territory, far less than other countries’ territory, so Zhang Hanqing believes that China’s railway construction still has great potential. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The long-term mobilization significance and transportation capacity brought by the Great Railway were not compensated by Japan in the post-war negotiations, which was basically a tragic victory.

Chapter 754 Major Transportation Construction (Part 2)
??
At present, it seems that funds are the bottleneck that restricts development, but in fact changing people’s thinking is the key:
Many senior members of the People's Party find it unbelievable that a poor country is constructing a four-vertical and four-horizontal railway. Of course, they are very puzzled by Zhang Hanqing's "increasing efforts to expand and rebuild". There are also moderate factions who advocate the importance of economic construction. Proceed steadily and act within our capabilities, although they can nod at the visible benefits only from a military perspective.
However, due to the prestige of the young marshal in the party, government and military, as well as the maturity of his forward-looking ideas in military construction and economic planning, especially the strong support of Zhang Zuolin, the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun Army, Zhang Hanqing's plan was successfully promoted, and it also gained popularity in various places. Fewer obstacles.
Zhang Hanqing’s enthusiasm for transportation, especially railway construction, which is the basis of the economy, is astonishing. He does not believe that the country is currently unable to make large-scale capital investment. He believes that borrowing money to develop transportation will, in turn, greatly stimulate economic development, especially since China's economy is in a booming state after hundreds of years of artificial suppression by the "emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business".
In this way, the time for debt repayment will be greatly shortened, and the developed economy will further promote transportation construction. Under this virtuous cycle, as long as there is no economic crisis, the future will only get better and better.
As he said at the People's Party Central Committee Plenary Session in response to questions about the shortage of funds: "Before the market competition mechanism in the railway industry is fully established, the most effective measure to speed up railway construction is to propose a clear development plan based on actual needs. , the railway department is doing everything possible to realize it. As for construction funds, there is no need to worry about no one buying railway bonds; there is no need to worry about banks being reluctant to borrow money; bidders for engineering design and construction will be squeezed out; material suppliers will also be competing for orders."
In order to give investors a good start, the central government invested 1 billion yuan in railway construction in 1925, not including the nearly 300 million yuan invested in building locomotives.
The "Jingu Railway Company" of old China (originally located on the west bank of the old Sancha River Estuary) first imported several small steam locomotives from abroad in 1887, one of which was the "0-2-0" type (only two pairs of wheels, Without guide wheel and follower wheel, it is called No. “0”).
This locomotive is the oldest well-preserved locomotive that has ever run on the "Jingu Railway" and has been exhibited abroad. The locomotive is manufactured in the UK and has a total weight of 1320kg. It is also one of the smallest steam locomotives in the world.
From the appearance of this steam locomotive to the founding of New China, various steam locomotives from Britain, the United States, Germany, France, Japan, Belgium, Russia and other countries were running on the land of China, which was jokingly called the "Universal Locomotive Expo".
This is a fact. According to the official history of the 188th issue of "Railway Monthly" in 1949: There were 4,069 steam locomotives in the country at that time, including 198 models produced by more than 30 factories in 8 countries!
Steam locomotives are an important symbol and key tool of cultural and social progress in the industrial era. Old China did not build its first steam locomotive until after liberation, which cannot be said to be a Chinese regret.
The main factor that caused this was the endless fighting between warlords. The limited financial revenue was intercepted by various local powerful factions as military expenses. Then we ushered in the two invasions of China by the Japanese army, and later the civil war. Therefore, the transportation industry in old China fell behind. It has become inevitable.
By God’s fortune, Zhang Hanqing, a great man of the next generation, changed the direction of China’s modern history. He took advantage of this rare opportunity for peace in the 1920s to gradually move China towards economic recovery or a state of great strides to catch up.
While cars, tanks, aircraft, and light warships were being produced domestically, a large number of top figures in the field of domestic machinery manufacturing were organized to import German and Czech locomotives, dismantle, research, and test them. From the beginning of 1924 to the end of 1927, they used It took 4 years to build China's first real locomotive "Dragon", allowing China to fill this gap.
The significance of the success of "Dragon" is huge: not only does it bring China's "heart" to China's transportation, but also greatly promotes the supporting development of heavy industry through its research and development - steel forging technology, welding Technology, assembly capabilities, mechanical design capabilities, precision processing and very important production capabilities, etc.
In addition, its success has also inspired the Chinese people's confidence and national pride in building a beautiful homeland through self-reliance, which no amount of money can buy back.
After the large-scale production of "Dragon" locomotives, as technology continued to mature and heavy industry capabilities improved, large diesel engines, turbine engines and other technologies also came out soon after, directly driving the development of Jiangnan, Qingdao, Xiamen, Hankou, and Jiujiang. Qualitative technological leaps in shipyards have enabled domestically produced ships to be equipped with Chinese "hearts" one after another.
Under this good momentum, China's shipbuilding industry caught up and by 1930 surpassed Japan, Asia's largest shipbuilding country, in total production tonnage. This is something to be said later.Of course, the price of the "Dragon" is also huge, and it has attracted almost all of China's talents and resources. In order to accomplish this feat, Zhang Hanqing withstood the pressure and continued to invest heavily in this project. So far, the 600 tons of gold obtained from the White Army Kolchak have been invested in various ways, and of course they have received fruitful results.
In Zhang Hanqing's view, the number of locomotives required for the huge railway network that is about to be built is staggering. Although localization is expensive in the short term and almost uses up gold reserves, in the long run, its benefits are not doubled. count.
“He knows very well that advanced technology cannot be bought; even if it can, building such a big country cannot rely on foreign aid for everything. No country has the ability to support a country as big as China.
Because all walks of life require investment, what should we do if we don’t have enough funds to spend on railway-related industries? There are two methods: first, use manpower to supplement material resources. The Central Plains is sparsely populated and sparsely populated, so the state calls on people to go to the Northeast and Northwest to reclaim wasteland and immigrate there, using voluntary labor of public officials and the military to reclaim the wasteland. There is no oil, chemical methods are used to burn coal, and even rubber fertilizers are used.
Second, use frugality to adjust the business.
No butter, eat half a pound less, no chicken, eat one less. However, 50 million yuan was used to build an oil refinery and 70 million yuan was used to build national highways, but they were boldly carried out. According to ordinary economic theory, it goes against the principles of nature. However, in the early days of the founding of the Soviet Union, agricultural products were confiscated and sold at reduced prices in foreign countries in exchange for cash to purchase machinery for the Five-Year Plan. It’s much more peaceful!
Of course, the Chinese people are very understanding of the country's difficulties. A large number of farmers who were allocated land invested great enthusiasm in building New China as liberated productive forces and endured huge sacrifices. In 1926, when the economy was most stretched, the central government even called on the Chinese people to live frugally and sell nearly half of that year's grain and cotton production in exchange for foreign exchange!
Compared with railways, highway construction is much inferior. Firstly, the funds are indeed insufficient. Secondly, although the cost of building railways seems high, considering the geographical and cultural progress brought by the long railway lines, comprehensive transportation capacity, convenience and long-distance strategic material delivery and other factors , in the long run, its cost performance is far higher than that of highway.
Therefore, in the early stage, Zhang Hanqing took railway as the main construction direction.
However, China's highway construction is still developing rapidly: from Beijing to Shenyang, from Nanjing to Shanghai, from Lanzhou to Xi'an, from Luoyang to Xuzhou, national highways have been built in major cities, and national highways have been built between central cities and major regions in the province. Provincial highways, transportation hubs and coastal counties will also pave cement roads or build asphalt roads depending on economic conditions. If the conditions are slightly worse, a layer of sand and gravel will also be paved on the muddy ground.
In 1925 alone, nearly 20,000 kilometers of roads were paved across the country.
It won’t work without paving. After several rounds of line expansion, Tianjin Dodge Automobile Factory has reached an annual production capacity of 200,000 trucks and 50,000 cars. Not only that, Zhang Hanqing is already preparing to establish branch factories in Wuhan, Guangzhou, Jilin and Chongqing. In the foreseeable future, China's automobile industry will have a blowout development.
Road construction not only facilitates travel and improves efficiency, but also enables the development of infrastructure-related industries, such as cement, steel, surveying and mapping, and bridges. It also provides a large number of jobs, killing several birds with one stone.
Not only that, Zhang Hanqing also ambitiously proposed the "Highway Plan" that will be remembered by future generations. This plan takes the opportunity of building a north-south transportation hub from Beijing to Guangzhou to connect provincial highways in various provinces and gradually improve them according to conditions, eventually forming a network of highway lines densely distributed across the country.
We must know that in the official history, the United States relied on building a similar "highway plan" after World War II to have the opportunity to become a global economic giant; in the information age of the 21st century, it also relies on the "information highway" derived from it. Plan", it can still maintain its leading position in the world in advanced industrial innovation, manufacturing and design.
Zhang Hanqing must work hard to create a thirty-year leading opportunity for China!
In terms of water transportation: the Songhua River continues to maintain a prosperous scene. Harbin has opened water passenger and cargo transportation routes directly to Khabarovsk, the largest Far Eastern city in the Soviet Union; the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, an important inland waterway connecting the north and the south, has also entered ships such as As the most important golden waterway in the Yangtze River Delta, the Yangtze River, after the Yanlidui in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River was blown up, 500-ton ships can freely travel between Chongqing and Shanghai during the dry season.
Anyway, with the boom of China's shipbuilding industry, the water transportation industry has also increased, and its contribution to the development of the national economy has also increased.
In terms of aviation, China has entered a leap-forward development stage.
Because of the gradual formation of the aviation manufacturing industry, China's self-built large-scale water transport aircraft "Water Transport II" has opened regular flights between Beijing and Shanghai, Nanjing, Beijing and Chengdu, Xi'an, Lanzhou, Beijing and Shenyang, Changchun, Harbin and other places. By the end of the year, the air mileage reached approximately 16,000 kilometers, making China one of the leading air transport countries in Asia.
When later generations commented on his foresight, they said with emotion: "It was leader Zhang Hanqing who, with his wisdom and foresight far beyond that of his contemporaries, gave China the opportunity to rise rapidly in a situation surrounded by powerful enemies. Construction is undoubtedly the prerequisite for the take-off of the entire economy."

Chapter 755 Learning the enemy’s strengths is the guarantee of victory
What is visible is changing, and what is invisible is also changing: Although Zhang Hanqing tried to reduce the proportion of Northeast China in China's economy by developing the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, Northeast China still ranks first in the provincial economic rankings with its profound industrial background. Far ahead.
At the end of 1925, Harbin took the lead in establishing a radio station in the country and built the country's largest agricultural futures trading market. Its customs revenue has also ranked first in the country for five consecutive years.
Liaoning Province stands proudly in front of the world, accounting for nearly 30% of the country's total economic output. Shenyang is the country's largest industrial city and the Northeast transportation center second only to the capital under construction.
And Changchun has become the greenest city in Asia.
Speaking of which, Changchun can have such an honor, half of it is the credit of the Japanese and half of it is the credit of Zhang Hanqing.
Although Zhang Hanqing is a time traveler, he knows his shortcomings. For example, urban construction in China has not yet formed a complete doctrine and profession. For thousands of years, it has basically followed the free expansion style of relying on mountains and rivers, blooming from the middle to all sides, and then when there are more people, cities will become cities.
“When the population expands and measures such as transportation, sewage, life and work, enterprises and people’s livelihood, leisure and entertainment, etc. can no longer keep up, then we can engage in demolition with Chinese characteristics. Then there is collusion between government and businessmen, and public dissatisfaction boils; or construction is demolished, and construction is demolished, not only the people are wasted, but the money is wasted. The key is that travel and heart are congested.
Of course, the GDP went up, the number was out of the official, the official was out of the number, and the official was the official.
Zhang Hanqing has seen this kind of thing a lot, and he has had some personal thoughts. But if he is not in his position, he does not plan for his political affairs. At that time, he was in a humble position and just spoke lightly. Now that he has the power, he must of course carry out his orders. The order he issued was not to interfere in doing this, but to restrict the people who intervened and prevent the order from being changed overnight.
How to do it? it's actually really easy. The country establishes the Ministry of Construction, and cities set up planning bureaus to investigate projects from general directions to small patterns, and then submit them to the legislative body for approval.
Once passed, government units must act accordingly, regardless of whether the head of the organization changes. If there are any ideas, they need to be re-planned and the need for modifications explained. This needs to be included in the annual budget and re-submitted to the legislative body for approval before implementation. If there are major changes, the original decision-makers must be held accountable, thereby creating a certain degree of constraints on the current government agencies.
It was under this circumstance that it was Zhang Hanqing who, against all odds, used Japanese experts to plan Changchun and achieved Changchun's glory.
You must know that the Japanese have been plotting against the three northeastern provinces for a long time, so they have long-term tracking records and analysis of its geography, geology, rivers and mountains, and even climate, soil, rain and lighting. They have a better understanding of the Northeast and even the whole of China than many Chinese people. Be attentive”. Regardless of their purpose, their perseverance is worth learning from the Chinese.
There was once a report that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese navy accidentally lost its way while surveying the islands and reefs in the South China Sea. In the end, a local fisherman found a way out through a Manchu-era nautical chart left by a Japanese private surveyor. . It is said that the sea map was very detailed. After decades of use, it has basically not changed much. In some places, it is still relied on to make important additions, which shows that it is ordinary.
Not to mention that the Japanese are really good at it. Under their careful management, Dalian, the capital of the Japanese-occupied Kanto State, later became one of the "most livable" cities in China. The layout and structure can still be seen that the Japanese have spent decades Traces of planning and creation!
Although all these "performances" are not enough to compensate for the damage and losses caused by Japan's invasion of China, it can be seen from them the management and governance capabilities of the Japanese and that they are indeed better than us. Over the years, many publications have made cultural comparisons between China and Japan. Generally speaking, each should have its own advantages and disadvantages.
But perhaps for the sake of sensationalism or gaining clicks, some articles carried extreme national sentiments, mocking and insulting the Japanese nation. It seemed that if they didn’t do this, it wouldn’t be called “patriotism.” Zhang Hanqing disagreed. Whether it is a fierce battle on the battlefield or a competition for strength in peacetime, intimidation and insults are not fighting.
The anti-Japanese dramas that filled Chinese screens before the time travel tried to vilify the capabilities of Japanese soldiers. Some ignorant, unscrupulous, and shameless directors also popularized it in order to cater to the public's taste. This in itself is disrespectful to history, and it is also disrespectful to those who fought during the war. An insult to the martyrs who died!
???—The Japanese soldiers were so mentally retarded and incompetent, but they caused such heavy losses to the Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers, and the Chinese soldiers and civilians suffered the sacrifice of 20 million people. Can we conclude that the Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians are even more retarded and incompetent? ! Let's go read the memoirs written by famous generals of the Anti-Japanese War. There is no such frivolousness and clamor in the lines!
Japan itself is a country that is very good at learning. What it learns is what it is like: learn from China.Do your best to be like the Chinese, learn from the West and strive to leave Asia and join Europe. There is no ambiguity at all, and you should not waste endless time on the debate between "for the body" and "for the purpose".
Now we look at it and find that its degree of modernization is comparable to the most modern countries in the world; its authentic traditional culture is enough to put our country with a long history to shame!
Both are learning from the West. As early as the "examination" of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, China and Japan handed over two answer sheets with huge disparities in the advantages and disadvantages of Japan's victory over China.
The number and equipment of the Japanese Navy are inferior to those of China, and they do not have much confidence in fighting China. Before the war, the Beiyang Navy visited Japan. The Japanese boarded the ship and saw that the Chinese sailors were lazy and lazy, and their families lived on the ship, with clothes hanging to dry everywhere. They were surprised and secretly rejoiced: Fighting such an army will not be a problem!
After China failed to learn from the West, it learned the "learning method" from Japan and gradually transformed into a modern society.
Human beings have their own weaknesses, and every nation has its own shortcomings. In addition to the ugly Chinese, there are also ugly Japanese, ugly Americans, French, British, Germans, Italians and Russians. There should be ugly Africans, Latinos, Arabs and Jews.
Why is it ugly? Because there is always an abstract, relatively beautiful image in this world that is recognized by the most people. In the early 1920s, Lu Xun created for us the most representative image of a Chinese person: Ah Q. To be honest, this image is ugly enough, but it is indeed a true portrayal of "us".
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off??? Similarly, the Japanese are also quite bad. Otherwise, why would they be so arrogant and militaristic, start fighting everywhere, and end up surrendering unconditionally?
But despite its bad qualities, it is also very good on the other hand. The Japanese are hard-working, proactive, conscientious, practical, and never careless. They are convinced of strong opponents and advanced people, and they are open-minded to ask for advice. They are good at imitating and absorbing, have the courage to sacrifice, are team players, and are brave in public battles but timid in private battles. Being good at learning lessonsthese are worthy of Chinese people to learn from.
The Japanese are very much like bees, with a tight organizational structure, meticulousness, and high efficiency. They survive in narrow cracks and will not hesitate to carry out suicide attacks on the enemy when they feel that their "living space" is threatened. Except for the last one, these characteristics are very suitable for the needs of modern society.
" Japan was able to complete its industrial revolution in such a short period of time, and to quickly enter the ranks of economic and technological powers after the war. The overall quality of its citizens cannot be ignored.
For more than a century, we have learned from Britain, France, and planned to learn from Yugoslavia and Singapore. Now we have learned more from the United States, and Japan has learned the most lasting and profound lessons. Zhang Hanqing is unwilling to admit this, but whether he admits it or not, it is a fact.
Learning from Britain did not help us complete the industrial revolution; learning from France did not help our society gain much freedom; learning from the United States found that the distance was too great and the national conditions were also too different. As for learning from Germany, it is purely about studying its heavy industry, defense industry and military methods that have been proven to be effective: blitzkrieg and wolf pack tactics, so that the Chinese army can reach a new level.
In terms of political system, the one that is most similar to China is the Soviet Union. There is no question of who learned from whom: Zhang Hanqing was originally a witness to the development of this system to its culmination stage, and his subtle variations far exceeded Soviet Union.
Even in terms of the party leading the country, China's system has left the Soviet Union far behind: compared with the Soviet Union's gradual move towards dictatorship, China has realized centralization within the party at the central and local levels. ; In terms of the power of the people to be the masters of the country, China's current parliamentary system is also far more advanced than the Soviet Presidium system.
Until the late period in history, the latter was basically the “separation of powers” ??between party power and administrative power. Because in actual operation, the party always had sole power, and administrative power and the Supreme Soviet were placed under the leadership of the party, so the Soviets later called the Supreme Soviet a "rubber stamp."
Please note! The Chinese people in Dalian have no chance of being called a "rubber stamp"! In later generations of China, all systems came from the Soviet Union, but the good aspects were discarded, and an even more worthless National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was established in addition to the three sets of institutions. How many more officials did the Chinese people support as a result?
A backward system is truly backward. Because the National People's Congress can only supervise the government, courts, and procuratorates commonly known as "one government and two houses", but the party that should be supervised most is separated from the National People's Congress!
This shouldn’t be the case!
Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhang Hanqing completed a pioneering work: to remove judicial power from the control of the People's Party and put all individuals under the constraints of the rule of law.
As for executive power and legislative power, he wanted to completely separate them in the past, but at present, the nascent China needs the concentration of power to do big things. This earth-shaking change can only be completed under a strong leadership, and Reduce constraints.
Although the shortcomings of weak binding force will gradually be revealed after the regime stabilizes, Zhang Hanqing is confident that the separation of powers will be finally completed in his hands - he is still young.

Chapter 756 Changes
By carrying forward its advantages and discarding its shortcomings, a nation should be good at learning from other nations, especially its enemies. Only then can a nation be mature, advanced, rational and hopeful.
“In ancient times, China was Japan’s mentor, but in modern times, Japan was China’s mentor. It beat us, messed up our house, caused heavy losses, and caused a blood feud. Can we still call it our mentor?
Yes, it is still a mentor! Gratitude is kindness and hatred is hatred. They cannot be offset or obliterated. Even though it has done countless bad things, we still cannot deny that the things it teaches us are too valuable. We have paid a bloody price for this. If we discard it easily, it will be the greatest misfortune for the nation.
Zhang Hanqing is rational, so the People’s Party under his leadership can also be rational. All advanced industrial technologies, management methods and humanistic trends of thought can be brought to my use with confidence. Taking advantage of the opportunity of world peace, the spirit of self-reliance and hard work, the guarantee of advanced systems, and the Chinese people who are smart and dare to be the first in the world, China's development is not a miracle.
In the Northeast, Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and major provincial capital cities, telephones have become an important guarantee for communication convenience. Later, Shenyang, Harbin, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing and Guangzhou also had direct international calls to Europe.
The Republican government's plan for the telephone was that by 1926, the length of calls nationwide would be at least 100,000 kilometers. In 1927, county-level administrative centers could directly make telephone calls to the central government, and counties had post offices and could send telegrams. ——Of course, eastern coastal cities have already reached this standard.
The communication system in the military has also developed by leaps and bounds: following the Unicom of the Chengdu Military Region, secure telephones have been set up between each military region and the Ministry of National Defense. Radio stations have been set up at the regiment level, while at the battalion level, a mixture of wired and manual communication systems have been installed. Communication class.
The motorcycle industry has driven almost all heavy industrial projects. Machine tool factories, steel rolling mills, seamless steel pipe factories, cast pipe factories, steel pipe factories, steel wire factories, galvanizing factories, refractory materials factories, machinery factories, medium plate factories, etc. have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. It blossomed all over China, making the huge steel production in 1925 completely in short supply. It also promoted the continued prosperity of industry, especially heavy industry, and accumulated a large amount of reserve power for China's military industry.
China has successfully trial-produced steam turbines equipped with oil-fired boilers, which are crucial to the power system of ships, especially large ships. It was the universal power system for the world's heavy cruisers and above in the early stages of World War II. It generally uses heavy oil, which is petroleum that has not been deeply processed and has a high carbon content, as fuel, so it produces a lot of thick smoke.
This project is what Zhang Hanqing attaches great importance to, and it is also what Chen Shaokuan, the Minister of Naval Equipment and Munitions, dreams of.
If you want to develop large ships, you must develop this thing. Didn’t you see that ninety years later, China’s first aircraft carrier “Liaoning” in official history is still using this similar power system? The country will definitely build large ships, but without "heart", how will it play in the future? So planning ahead is necessary.
As for medium-sized diesel engines, China has already had this capability. The first replica of the "Jiujiang-class" destroyer that now guards thousands of miles of sea territory uses this kind of diesel engine. Wuhan Shipyard's development of large diesel engines is nearing completion. It won't be long before the "Haichen" class armored cruisers purchased from Germany in the late Qing Dynasty can be equipped with Chinese engines.
However, for ships now, China's industrial manufacturing capabilities can only be compared to the ocean - destroyers of more than a thousand tons can be produced with some effort, but large and super-large warships that are of a slightly larger scale and can gallop across thousands of miles of ocean do not have this capability. .
This is also a lesson that China has to make up for in decades. It certainly cannot be accomplished overnight. With the current financial investment in the navy, Commander Guo will be happy to wake up from his dream if he can build a "Jiujiang class" on a large scale.
Of course, Zhang Hanqing will not stop the process of exploring large warships just because the current conditions are not met. Amidst the busy state affairs with everything waiting to be done, Zhang Hanqing did not forget to cultivate naval talents. He made a request to the German government to build a training ship for China.
Although we disdain the construction of battleships that will soon become "useless", the construction trend of the world's navies must be towards larger tonnage and more advanced equipment (not just about firepower).
Only with large tonnage can the navy go further. The 1,200-ton "Jiujiang" class can only barely cruise in offshore waters, which is indeed not enough.
The reason why Germany was chosen is because other countries do not allow China to develop its navy at all, especially Britain, the United States and Japan. After China's army becomes stronger, their attitude towards other countries was clearly seen in the "May 30th" incident. If the navy can only have half the strength of the army, can they still show off their power in China? Therefore, whether in terms of technology export or direct purchase of finished products, they are fully blocking China.
 ? This discovery was of considerable significance, so much so that Felix, a German technician and retired submarine mate, said happily: "With this thing, the submariners' hope of returning home safely has more than doubled!"
In addition, the Chinese Navy, which has basically understood the "Jiujiang" class destroyers, has begun to prepare for the construction of larger tonnage ocean-going destroyers. The power system is not a problem. The shipbuilding capabilities of small and medium-sized warships are also available. It is time to try this aspect. Otherwise, it is not enough for the army to be strong while the navy remains a landlubber.
China has a vast coastline, and a lame navy will greatly restrict the use of the army. The only way is to develop both legs and advance hand in hand. Whether the idea of ??"land guns on ships" can be matched with warships needs to be carefully discussed. It is not about building a large scale, but just to reserve technology and experience for the future.
Similarly, the construction base of the new destroyer is located in inland Wuhan, not Shanghai, which Zhang Hanqing most expected.
The country has not yet been liberated, the navy is better than nothing, and the weak air force is only enough to keep an eye on the Beijing-Tianjin area. It costs so much to expand the shipyard on the seaside. Once it is swept away by the enemy's navy, won't all the hard investment be destroyed?
“ Moreover, warships are not very big at this time, and only the Wuhan shipyard in China that does not rely on the seaside has the foundation and conditions to take advantage of the work. Besides, it has the Hanyeping Iron and Steel Plant, and its industrial system is the strongest outside of Shenyang, Shanghai, and Tianjin.
In fact, according to data records, in 1931, the American 10,000-ton oil tanker "California" was traced from the Yangtze River Estuary to Wuhan, which shows that this problem is actually not big. If you want to go overseas, you can wait until the flood season, which is from May to September every year.
Technology is developed slowly and requires continuous investment. In the short term, the Chinese Navy will not resort to militarism to build fast ships. Therefore, for the sake of technical reserves and survival, the Wuhan Shipyard focuses on civilian ships. Relying on the golden waterway of the Yangtze River and the water network extending in all directions, water transportation, an important supplement to land transportation, is in the ascendant here.
In inland cities where there are no direct railways or highways to Shanghai and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, floating docks and boats floating on the water closely connect the central and western regions with the east.
Shanghai’s influence is growing, and the development of central China is becoming more and more promising. If there were no influential cities in Hubei that could replace the role of the provincial capital, Zhang Hanqing would not hesitate to make Wuhan a province directly under the central government.
After the focus gradually shifted to Guanhai, the development of the three northeastern provinces showed no sign of weakening: in 1925, China's first radio station, Harbin Radio and Television Station, was established and started broadcasting;
Back then, Harbin Binjiang Customs firmly occupied the top spot among the six major customs offices in the country based on the comparison of exports and actual benefits, becoming the country's largest flour production and export base, alcohol and beer production base;
In May of that year, Harbin Station could already sell direct tickets to European cities.
After Shenyang became the largest heavy industry town in China, Harbin has also emerged as a new force after years of hard work, becoming a commercial hub integrating industry, trade and transportation, and becoming a new engine for Northeast economic growth.
In this way, with the two ends of the Shenyang-Harbin Line as the link, the Northeast Industrial Zone, the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan-Qinhuang-Bohai Economic Circle, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai Economic Circle, and the Pearl River Water Belt Economic Circle are the leaders, and the major cities of Qingdao, Wuhan, and Lanzhou radiate to the surrounding areas. The economic layout of the three major construction corps' continuous export of agricultural products to stimulate blood has been formed, and the achievements of Huaxia China are changing with each passing day.
For several consecutive years, China’s industry has grown at a rate of more than 30%. This includes the release of the pent-up economy in previous decades and overtaking in corners. Almost every three years, a new China is created.
No wonder all foreign media are exclaiming: "China has entered the fast lane of industrial development"! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 757 Pressure
Japan, across the sea, feels this impact even more deeply.
The Japanese economy achieved extraordinary development during World War I. During the war, Japan took advantage of the temporary withdrawal of European and American goods from Asia and almost monopolized the Asian market; it continued to expand business to Europe. The war transformed Japan from a foreign trade importing superpower to a foreign trade superpower, from an agricultural country to an industrial country, and from a debtor country to a creditor country.
“However, although Japan’s economy is growing rapidly, it is relatively fragile compared with European and American countries. It is an island country with a narrow domestic market and poor resources. Once there is any disturbance, it will definitely be affected more strongly than traditional industrial countries.
In 1920, marked by the collapse of stock prices on the Tokyo and Osaka stock exchanges, Japan's postwar economic crisis began. During the crisis, instead of carrying out a thorough rectification of the financial sector, the government implemented an overly large relief policy and an irresponsible proactive fiscal policy. Starting from February of that year, the loan amount of Tokyo-Osaka Bank began to exceed the deposit amount, and it showed a trend of increasing month by month.
Although the government has saved a number of companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy, it has also laid hidden dangers for the future development of the Japanese economy.
Because the domestic price level is much higher than the international price level, Japan's imports continue to grow, while exports are struggling, causing a general blow to Japanese companies, mainly small and medium-sized enterprises with weak competitiveness, and causing the Japanese economy to fall into a long-term depression. After that, the main importing country of general small commodities and light industrial products turned out to be China, which had always been a dumping ground for Japanese goods!
After the Republic of China’s steel output surpassed Japan’s for the first time in 1921, it was out of control and has maintained this figure forever.
When Japan continued to be depressed, China's steel production reached 1.5 times that in 1922; after the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923, centered on Tokyo and Yokohama, Japan's property losses reached 10 billion yen, while China's steel production reached its unprecedented level that year. 2.5 times, its industrial development potential is impressive.
On the other hand, in order to get rid of its economic difficulties, Japan's government has provided aid to damaged capitalism through large amounts of internal loans, and it has gradually revealed its decline.
Originally, China in its semi-colonial state was a "natural" dumping ground for Japanese products. However, due to the passage of time, the current private economic capabilities funded by large state-owned enterprises and the government are far from comparable to the same period in official history. The Chinese government's The ability to control the economy is also different, so there are many obstacles to passing on economic difficulties to China.
Because of the explosion of industry and commerce, China imported fewer and fewer goods from Japan. In the end, all the latter could produce were equipment representing its final industrial achievements. But even so, apart from the fact that China still needs to import a small amount of machine tools for the production of mother machines, the number of projects is gradually decreasing - because Japan's industrial level is more than an order of magnitude worse than Europe.
With German technology as a reference, the United States from time to time relaxing the export of industrial equipment that is not military-sensitive, and the Soviet Union’s all-round open trade, China is increasingly looking down on Japanese things.
On the contrary, China’s cheap industrial products and agricultural products, especially textiles, are increasingly flowing into Japan. The reputation of the “manufacturing power” in later generations is definitely not false:
China has a huge population that is in the transition period from an agricultural society to an industrial society. A large number of workers will make it possible to solve the labor problem in a few decades. China has a huge consumer market that can accommodate a variety of products that may not be possible in small countries. Survival niche products can easily generate economies of scale.
This kind of volume can produce unstoppable force when it exerts force in any direction.
The textile industry is an example.
The more developed United States and Britain have eliminated it. Throughout the world, the distribution center of the textile industry was once clear: Germany in Europe and Japan in Asia. Germany once had "Song of the Textile Workers of Silesia". Before and after World War I, Japan regarded the textile industry as the backbone of its national economy.
But when China established a foothold in this industry, everything changed.
Clothing, food, housing and transportation are the basic needs of the people. China has enough to eat on a large scale, and clothing is naturally the next most important need. After all, it is such a large market. And China has the foundation for the development of the textile industry: a large number of female workers and abundant agricultural products (mainly cotton).
This advantage quickly crushed Japanese textile companies in China and quickly spread to its country. Cheap and high-quality Chinese textiles are flooding the Japanese domestic market, which is nothing less than a major earthquake for the economy that is preparing to gradually recover from the aftershocks of the Great Kanto Earthquake. However, this earthquake was nationwide, and its impact was far more violent and lasting than the Great Kanto Earthquake.
Affected by this, Japan’s domestic textile industry was almost destroyed, and various other industries gradually fell into depression.
But China, separated by a sea, has differentA whole world.
The People’s Party achieves the goal of not allowing a single unemployed vagrant in society by training cadres, organizing people, planning and dictating land, actively cultivating land, actively developing labor-intensive enterprises, and organizing nationwide infrastructure construction.
Financially, the state implements rent reductions in the second and fifth years to ensure that landless farmers who have transformed from tenant households can resume production; in addition, they have successively implemented profits tax, inheritance tax, prepared social insurance, promoted labor welfare, promoted cooperative undertakings, implemented equalization of land rights, and implemented moderation. Capital, etc., protects economic development.
Marshal Zhang Hanqing has endless ways to implement policies, and he has mastered some programmatic tricks that even the politically mature old imperialist countries cannot think of.
Recently, it is said that the construction of a people-oriented society and the implementation of policies are the top priority, and it is also planned to promote land bonds, insurance systems for soldiers and workers, etc., to build a modern society, etc., which has gained more and more public support and expectations. The people The party’s influence is unprecedented.
With the help of China’s abundant resources, the country has been committed to the rapid development of the steel industry for several consecutive years, making China’s pace of catching up with Japan in basic industrial capabilities faster and faster.
In 1924, steel production was close to 2.8 times that of Japan. By the end of 1925, it reached 3.9 times, reaching 2.625 million tons, which basically made up for the loss of national industrial strength caused by the backwardness of the late Qing government and successive years of civil war. The cumulative steel output in the past two years alone is close to Japan's total output since the Meiji Restoration.
It’s not Zhang Hanqing who can encourage the backward China to grow. It’s actually that this young marshal is too knowledgeable. Not only can he manage the army and the people, but he also understands economics and industry. He even seems to know which places in China have oil, coal and iron ore. Familiar with chest. This kind of "prophet" ability makes it impossible for China to slow down its economic development even if it wants to!
Due to the substantial improvement in heavy industry capabilities and basic industries, China's military industry capabilities have been greatly enhanced. The 36 integrated armies of the People's Army will become an insurmountable barrier for Japan's aggressive forces in China.
In a few years, Jiang Baili’s theory and practice of people’s war bore fruitful results. Because there is no war, the service period of the people's officers and soldiers has been significantly shortened. Taking the ordinary army infantry as an example, the service period has changed from the previous indefinite period to six years, four years, three years, and two years. Zhang Hanqing even proposed at the Military Commission meeting Reduced to one and a half years.
This is not a simple number of years agreement, but a far-reaching national defense strategy. With a short service period, more reserve officers and soldiers will receive military training, and more soldiers will be able to be mobilized immediately in the event of war in the future. Moreover, the presence of a large number of reserve officers and soldiers also adds strength and convenience to the construction of grassroots militia.
This principle is the same as hiding wealth from the people. Zhang Hanqing called it hiding troops from the people.
In terms of fiscal revenue, in 1922, the Feng Dynasty before taking over China was half that of Japan in the same period. By the end of 1923, although China's Zhili and Fengtian factions were at war, and Japan was barely recovering from the economic crisis, Japan encountered the Great Kanto Earthquake, and China quickly invested a large sum of gold in national construction. Due to the joining of Shandong, Henan, Beijing, Tianjin and other places, the financial inventory at the end of the year shows that China has reached 88% of Japan's.
By 1924, when the second three-year economic development plan was completed, due to the joining of the Yangtze River Delta, Shanxi Province, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, China had the opportunity to surpass Japan for the first time in modern times, widening the gap between China and Japan. to about 1.5 times.
Riding on this east wind, in 1925, when China was developing in an all-round way, the gap continued to soar to nearly 1.8 times.
In fact, even during the Republic of China period in official history, China was still the world's economic power in terms of economic aggregate. In 1913, China's GDP still ranked second in the world, and even after the September 9th After the 18th Incident and Japan taking over the three northeastern provinces, China's most economically developed provinces, China's GDP is still 1.9 to 2.8 times that of Japan.
“It was just because of the backwardness of industry and transportation and the war that the great powers at that time did not regard China as a great power.
In this time and space, due to the central government's active fiscal policy, the government has been able to guide various industries of the national economy in an unprecedented manner, and the economy that has been stagnant for many years has developed by leaps and bounds. Also due to the convenient transportation and the strong centralization ability of the Republic of China government, China's industrial and economic strength gradually attracted the attention of the world.
The People’s Party has completely revitalized the loose Chinese forces in every corner!
It’s not scary if there are wolves everywhere, as long as they are led by sheep; and even a group of sheep, as long as they are led by wolves and show off their horns that are not rigid, will still be aggressive.
Does Japan feel the danger is coming because of this? In order to prevent China from rising as soon as possible, Japan's domestic clamor for using force against China is getting louder and louder. Later, the notorious Class-A war criminal and current Emperor's bodyguard Hideki Tojo saw at a glance the threat posed by the close relative strength between China and Japan:
“If a new war against China is not launched as soon as possible and won, China will soon surpass Japan in an all-round way, and the empire will permanently lose its great situation since the Meiji era. It will not only lose control of the situation in China, but also lose control of the situation in China. The source of important economic lifeline will be cut off, and then marginalized in Asia!"

Chapter 758 Voice and Response
Due to the growth of its anti-Japanese power, China's policy towards Japan has also undergone subtle changes: the anti-Japanese hardliners, led by Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing and their sons, have become more and more powerful. Even Wu Junsheng, who has always been afraid of Japan, has also changed his stance. mouth, leading public opinion in Congress to open fire on the Japanese-occupied Kanto Prefecture.
In the daily work of the government, how to return Kanto Prefecture to the country is also the focus of Japan policy.
It’s just that China’s development in recent years is a bit like an upstart. The growth index looks good. However, due to long-term bullying by foreign powers, China still lacks external confidence. Nearly half a century of shackles has resulted in a poor industrial foundation, a small base, and a late start. There is still a certain gap between Japan and a large country that has accumulated industrial revolutions for decades.
As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Japan’s ability to defeat polar bears in one corner is certainly a well-deserved reputation.
Considering that the country's economy has just got on the right track, and there is still a big gap in industrial strength with the old imperialist powers such as Britain, France, and Germany, and it is even different from the United States, so the Republic of China government still chose the general direction. Low profile.
As a guide, Zhang Hanqing summarized China's foreign policy in the future with a sixteen-character policy: "hide your strength, bide your time, immerse yourself in development, do something, and do something not to do."
Japan formulated a "perfect" mainland policy a century ago, and has always regarded the Far East and North Korea as its "lifeline." Therefore, the continuation of the government's policy and the spirit of the people have placed a tight curse on "Manchuria" , becoming an irresistible force.
It is easy to seize Kwantung by force. In Zhang Zuolin's words, "the two hundred thousand Northeastern Army still won't let these tens of thousands of Kwantung Army make dumplings"? However, the Japanese people cannot bear the loss of the soul that symbolizes the Japanese Empire. China and Japan will inevitably have a war in advance, which the nascent Republic of China government cannot bear.
Of course, in the current situation where China's power far exceeds that of official history and the country's industrial and transportation capabilities are getting stronger and stronger, the variables of whether Japan dares to launch a war that is destined to be protracted are getting smaller and smaller, at least it does not currently meet this condition; China's capital to deal with this war is accumulating, and its confidence is increasing.
"The inability to take the initiative to start a war does not mean that we can sit back and watch Japan's development and expansion in Kanto." After the old Feng clique firmly restricted Japanese influence along the South Manchuria Railway in 1922, the Zhang Zuolin government became increasingly strict in controlling the iron ore, coal mines, forests, and farmland in the Northeast, and there were already many cases of Japanese insurrection. Crossing the border and going deep into Northeast China, he was beaten to death by "unknown persons".
In response to this, the Chinese government issued a statement based on the 1922 declaration, accusing the Japanese government of being unable to constrain its citizens to abide by the border, resulting in this dispute. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly reiterated: "Japanese people cannot be tolerated to illegally cross the border, and therefore the safety of illegally entering Japanese nationals in China cannot be guaranteed."
The people of Northeast China have made a lot of work and sacrifices for the liberation of Kanto Prefecture. After the "May 30th Movement", Chinese people in major Japanese industrial and mining enterprises in Northeast China have resigned and transferred to state-owned enterprises, causing Japanese enterprises in Northeast China to encounter the second crisis. A "labor shortage".
With the government of the Republic of China tightening its control over the mining industry in Northeast China and its constraints on Japanese companies, it has become difficult for Japan to expand reproduction in the Northeast. The opening of the Jingjia Line not only diverted the passenger and freight traffic of the South Manchuria Railway, greatly reducing its strategic impact on China, but also caused a slight change in Japan's domestic policy towards China.
As we all know, since 1924, in order to get rid of its economic difficulties, Japan's former foreign minister has pursued a "coordinated diplomacy" of compromise with the United Kingdom and the United States and an economic aggression policy of avoiding force against China as much as possible.
Because China’s national power has grown, people’s sense of identity and mission for the country has also grown simultaneously. It was this year that the famous poet Wen Yiduo wrote his famous “Song of the Seven Sons.” Regarding Japan, a call was made to the Chinese people to reclaim the Japanese-occupied Kanto Prefecture:
“We are twin brothers from Lushun and Dalian.
How should our fate be compared?
Two strong neighbors kicked me back and forth,
We are two lumps of mud at the feet of the mob.
Mother, the return date has come, please bring us back quickly.
You don’t know how much we miss you!
Mother! We want to come back, mother! "
The "unfriendly" behavior of the Chinese people and the increasingly tough attitude of the Chinese government have made Japan's "continental policy" that has lasted for nearly a century gradually become illusory: Japan has always regarded the East Asian continent as its lifeline, and originally wanted to use North Korea This was a springboard to integrate Northeast China and eastern Inner Mongolia to establish a pro-Japanese Manchuria-Mongolia government (this was also done historically) and use its resources to lay the foundation for supporting Japan's expansion.
After the Meiji Restoration, Japan embarked on the road to a modern industrialized country. "Japan is surrounded by the sea. If it is attacked by the navy, it will be easy to attack and difficult to defend. If you are on an islandAfter the signing of the Treaty of Washington and the post-World War I situation, Japan later revised its "Imperial Defense Policy" for the third time and judged the United States as the number one imaginary enemy. The war between Japan and the United States has since embarked on a path of no return.
China at this stage is no longer the same as in the past, and the situation has become much better for China than in history: when China has appropriately demonstrated its national strength and national will, Japan has become at a loss when it wants to covet mainland territory.
After a large-scale, protracted and unpredictable national war is destined to occur, it is really a 50-50 decision whether the Japanese government has the confidence to support the two wars of aggression against China initiated by certain military personnel in the future.
“As long as Japan is involved in the vortex of being tough on the United States, it will be China’s luck. After all, with a few more years of buffering time, China can naturally regain its strength and regain its glory as a great power. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Chapter 760 The best of times
Zhang Hanqing also set his sights on the United States.
A war with Japan is inevitable. Zhang Hanqing also imagined that the sign of China's rise in the world is to defeat Japan. Throughout world history, the rise of an emerging power is often based on defeating another power. Completed:
After the Netherlands and Britain defeated the Spanish Armada, they created a century of glory as a "sea coachman";
Britain laid the foundation of the “Empire on which the Sun Never Sets” through two Anglo-Dutch wars;
Germany completed the country's unification by defeating France and finally became stronger;
Japan rose through the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War;
After defeating Britain in the War of Independence, the United States actively used troops against France, Britain, and Mexico, becoming the largest country in the capitalist world and enjoying everlasting prosperity
"It is simply wishful thinking for China to join the ranks of major powers and to gain a respected position in the world without going through a war. And among all the major countries, the one with the best chance of fighting China is still Japan.
There will definitely be a war between China and Japan, but it must not be now.
How to reduce resistance and even get the support of the United States when it rebuilds, and how to form an alliance with the United States, and how to use the interests of Japan, the Soviet Union, and the United States to enable China to survive and grow in the cracks, so as to minimize the risk of Zhang Hanqing has been thinking hard about how the short-term Sino-Japanese conflict will provide time for China to recuperate and develop in an all-round way.
The Zhang Zuolin government that unified the mainland was no worse than the Beiyang government or the Anhui clique in "protecting the traditional interests of the United States." Instead of restricting the British, Zhang Hanqing acquiesced to the reinforcement of American power in the Yangtze River Basin of China: China's major ports from south to north, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Shantou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ningbo, Shanghai, Qingdao, Yantai and Dagu, all controlled U.S. warships open.
For the United States, almost all new and old warships belonging to the Yangtze River Patrol and South China Patrol are unable to sail and cannot travel between China and the Navy's main Asian supply base in Cavite, Luzon Island, Philippines. Therefore, all warships that are broken are in Shanghai or Repairs at Hong Kong's civilian shipyards.
The activities of the warships used by the Asiatic Fleet for navigation were already regular by 1925: most of the fleet's warships spent the winter in Cavite from October to March, conducting repairs and exercises in Philippine waters; and in the summer they were off the northern coast of China. Conducting exercises or visiting ports nearby, submarines have a summer base in Qingdao and destroyers have a summer base in Yantai.
“ Chinese officials and military circles have all responded positively to the presence of U.S. officers and soldiers. This evaluation and the great enthusiasm shown have even infected the vast majority of U.S. front-line commanders.
In August 1925, the commander of the South China Patrol e﹒ t﹒ Captain Constantine to Roger. Admiral Wells wrote: "If foreigners can give up a temporary self-interest, then China, with a population of 450 million, will become the largest market in the world. The United States is the country that receives preferential treatment."
An indirect effect of this quarterly movement of the fleet was discussed in the "Beihua Jiebao" of May 15, 1926. The newspaper reported the arrival of eleven submarines and two submarine supply ships in Qingdao, noting: "The arrival of U.S. warships The arrival has brought new life to the city, and…the money spent by the sailors here every year is a great source of money for the prosperity of the city.”
Because of this good relationship, when the top brass of the People's Army headed by Zhang Hanqing euphemistically hoped that the United States could provide China with certain support in the fields of submarines and naval aviation, the Song family acted as a bridge with its deep popularity in the United States. Therefore, there is no doubt that Song Meiling became Zhang Hanqing's right-hand assistant and relatively close comrade in foreign affairs.
In early 1926, the U.S. political circles finally relaxed their blockade on China's submarine technology, sold two U.S-made "S" class small submarines during World War I to the Chinese Navy, and sent design drawings. In addition, the United States has given China great convenience in the manufacturing of the aviation industry - aircraft, as an emerging military industry group, are not yet among the banned exports to China by major countries.
The boundary between military and civilian aircraft was so blurred in the early days that special modifications were basically not needed. A machine gun on a civilian aircraft could transform it into a fighter jet. This means that China's air power has not encountered malicious encirclement by its peers since its establishment. This is a blessing.
The political and economic ties between China and the United States are so close that there are even rumors about whether China and the United States are willing to establish a military alliance.
At a sensitive time for China to absorb German military technology - at this time, China was still a country that restricted the import of military equipment under Japan's suggestion, and the Americans were the first to acquiesce in breaking it. This is a signal: China is no longer the target of restrictions by Western countries led by the United States, but has gradually become a "little partner" in realizing its interests in Asia.
This is a positive signal, which is enoughIt is organized into the 3rd Destroyer Fleet, with the 2,600-ton "Zhaohe" training cruiser as the flagship, and is managed by the South China Fleet. The advantage of this is that similar warships are grouped together, which is more advantageous in terms of training and supplies.
The other old ships under 200 tons are simply assigned to the peripheral patrols of each base. Warships are kept here for fighting. The old-style small warships that can only run in inland rivers should not be of much use for the time being. It is better to have less than to waste.
I remember the non-German "Wolf Pack" tactics and the use of Japanese carrier aviation that had a major impact on the sea during World War II. Although China started slowly, it can directly catch up with these two areas. At this time, D?nitz was still serving as his naval captain, and Yamamoto Isoroku was serving as his naval attache at the Japanese Embassy in the United States. China is a big step ahead of them.
Zhang Hanqing’s contribution to China is that he can use the advantage of his experience to allow China’s military to develop rapidly in a direction that is ahead of the times and avoid detours. Zhang Hanqing's limited military knowledge was fully utilized at this time. To be honest, this was the best era. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 761 Undercurrent
Perhaps 1926 was the happiest period since Zhang Hanqing traveled through time. There are no wars, no setbacks, economic prosperity, and political peace. After successfully resolving the May 30th Incident, the People's Party became extremely popular, and Zhang Hanqing convinced all opponents who dared to question him with his outstanding political, economic, diplomatic, and military capabilities.
At this time, if we take advantage of the situation and carry out the congressional selection that should have been carried out in the middle of last year, I am afraid that with the power of the 530s, we will be invincible, right?
The congressional election originally scheduled for August last year was naturally suspended due to what happened in Shanghai. By the time the incident subsided, it was already the end of the year. Reviving the issue at this time is a good time for China's politics to move towards deliberation, but all parties have expressed opposition to whether to continue the general election.
The Feng Clan’s outstanding performance and popularity are booming. Participating in the election at this time will give them a legal cloak for “monopolizing the political agenda.” Isn’t that what the Feng Clique wants? The Feng clique has completely controlled the country administratively and militarily. If it wins the parliamentary election again, wouldn't all the previous concessions and ambushes made by all parties be in vain? They are not willing to do the thing of "making wedding clothes for others".
Of course, their reason is that Congress has been repeatedly abandoned, and it is better to carefully discuss the candidates for the Senate and the House of Representatives. Since it has been postponed, it may as well wait a little longer.
Wait, just wait. The People's Party is in power and is doing very well. It would be better without the constraints of Congress, and the efficiency can be much higher.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Hanqing held several strategic training courses for senior military cadres, eliminated some incompetent officers, and reorganized the personnel structure of the headquarters.
The general principle is that the group of people who followed Zhang Zuolin to conquer the world have either reached a higher position and become officers of the new era under the influence of Zhang Hanqing, or they have gradually left the core level of the army through retirement, job transfer, and transfer. Replace Zhang Hanqing's men.
No one raised any objection, no one dared to object. Zhang Hanqing's prestige can make him a good helper in the army.
General Ma Longtan, commander of the Nanjing Military Region, left the military post as he wished. He was also the fastest to retire after being promoted to a senior general in the People's Army. As one of the first retired military chiefs, he still worked hard for the country. According to Zhang Hanqing's request, he began to prepare for the future Senate.
In the future, he will continue to contribute to national affairs in his old age. If nothing unexpected happens, he will serve as an important assistant to the Chairman of the National Assembly Wu Junsheng and serve as the President of the Senate; his vacancy will be filled by the less qualified but famous 12th Army. Agent Zhang Zizhong.
Speaking of being an agent, anyone with a discerning eye knows that as one of the young marshal's favorite generals, his correction is only a matter of time.
After Zhang Zizhong was promoted, Wang Yongsheng took over his vacancy.
Gao Weiyue, the former commander of the 24th Army, was promoted to chief of staff of the garrison area, and Fu Zuoyi took over as commander——another direct descendant of the young marshal. Fu Zuoyi jumped from division commander to army commander, and only served as deputy army commander for less than six months.
Liu Ruming, who had outstanding political work, was transferred to the Shenyang Military Region as the director of the political department of the base camp. Zhang Tingshu, who had completed the transition as director of the East China Bureau of the Armed Police and captain of the Shanghai Armed Police, took over as commander of the 27th Army. Sun Lianzhong was appointed as the artillery commander under the Military Commission.
It was just a matter of appointing other people. At the age of 23, Zhang Tingshu actually served as the commander of the main 27th Army, which was surprising. Although he has made great military achievements in previous battles, some people are still dissatisfied and say: "Isn't it because of Marshal Zhang? I don't accept it!"
This Marshal Zhang is Zhang Zuoxiang.
"For no other reason than because Zhang Tingshu is the son of Zhang Zuoxiang and because of his military exploits, this position has been confirmed!" Zhang Zuo played a vital role in the growth of the Feng clan and spared no efforts in promoting Zhang Hanqing to the top. He has always been grateful. In addition, fighting tigers requires brothers. Zhang Tingshu and Zhang Hanqing have always been good friends and have become important right-hand men.
What’s wrong with being so young? The military exploits are real! Moreover, Zhang Hanqing is already a genuine marshal of the People's Army at the age of 25. What's wrong?
The person who said this was Zhang Hanqing’s cousin Zhang Xuecheng.
Zhang Xuecheng, also known as Zhuqing, is the eldest son of Zhang Zuolin's second brother Zhang Zuofu and Zhang Xueliang's cousin. During the Xuantong period of the late Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zuofu was killed while suppressing bandits while serving as police captain in Heishan County. Zhang Xuecheng, his younger brother Zhang Xuewen and their three younger sisters were all raised by Zhang Zuolin. When he was young, he started his education in Shuaifu private school.
Historically, in 1919, he and Zhang Xueliang studied in the first phase of the Northeast Lecture Hall at the same time. After graduation, Zhang Zuolin and his younger brother Xuewen were sent to the Japanese Army University by Zhang Zuolin to study abroad. After returning to China, Zhang Zuolin promoted Zhang Xue to become the commander of the Guards Battalion. Soon, he promoted him to serve as the commander and brigade commander of the Northeast Army.
Although being promoted to the position of brigade commander at the age of 20 is a miracle in the eyes of others, Zhang Xuecheng was not satisfied because his eyes were always fixed on Zhang Xueliang. At this time in official history, Zhang Xueliang had already become the commander of the regiment.
&The leader of Japan's secret service, Doihara Kenji, personally took action and persuaded the princes to raise the banner of Mongolian autonomy under the guise of Mongolian people governing Mongolia. However, under the control of the Feng clique, such activities are limited to underground.
In terms of official career, he was also successful. In 1924, he served as deputy leader of the Silingrad League and member of the Chahar Provincial Government. In February 1925, he served as a member of the Beijing aftermath conference and a member of the Senate.
After the founding of the People's Party, all the preferential treatment originally granted to the Manchu and Mongolian princes were cancelled. All that was left was a bleak influence left in the long history. This forced the so-called "Mongolian Autonomous Faction" headed by King De to take risks. They contacted a large number of old friends, such as King Yun and the commander of the cavalry regiment in Duolun, Li Shouxin, etc., hoping for the autonomy of Outer Mongolia. Sweet dreams.

Chapter 762 Codename 574
These people are too weak, and they are not very influential figures. Even if the Zhang family and his son are unfortunate, they will not be able to take their turn. Because after Zhang Hanqing unified mainland China, his prestige in the People's Army was already very strong - 5 of the 8 military region commanders were the backbone of the old People's Army, and the remaining 3 were all loyal to the old marshal and therefore firmly supported the young marshal. of.
Among the middle and high-level generals, 25 of the 36 commanders of the current army are generals of the Old People's Army, led by the young marshal; there are also 9 generals from various walks of life who have expressed their surrender to him, and 2 belong to the old Feng faction. In the army, middle-level generals account for the majority of those who are loyal to the old commander rather than the young commander.
Politically, the Standing Committee headed by Wang Yongjiang and government officials such as Mo Dehui, Liu Shangqing, and Pan Fu are all loyal to the young marshal. After long-term efforts, around Zhang Hanqing, the "Prince Line" has taken shape. It is impossible to challenge Zhang Hanqing's position head-on.
Now four vice-chairmen of the Military Commission, Sun Liechen, are unable to attend to matters due to illness, Zhang Hanqing is running around and unable to preside over the work steadily, Wu Junsheng has given up on coordinating the Congress, and only Zhang Zuoxiang is often in Beijing to preside over daily work. He is Zhang Hanqing's die-hard loyalist and has been busy trying to stabilize his position. There is no way to bring down the Zhang family and his son unless he is eliminated, but if he is touched, the Zhang family and his son will definitely be alarmed.
It is not easy to seize power: the government basically has nothing for them to do. The officers have been firmly trapped in the army since Zhang Hanqing traveled through time and are not allowed to get involved in politics. But they thought, as long as the army is in their hands, will politics be far behind? Didn’t the Feng Clan start off by relying on the army?
As for subverting the People's Army, Tufei did not think so. His purpose was just to take advantage of the fledgling People's Party and wait for an opportunity to mobilize the old Manchus to split the Northeast and Mongolia. In his opinion, the Kuomintang's focus has been placed on Guanzhong. If the Zhang family and his son suddenly fail to control the situation, and Beijing is left without a leader, and the Kwantung Army puts pressure on them, there is considerable hope of success. His plan is:
In the name of supporting Wu Junsheng, he provoked an old rift between Wu and Zhang Zuoxiang;
?Assassination of Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Hanqing and his son;
If there is an opportunity, a mutiny will be staged in Shenyang, with the late Emperor Puyi as a puppet, and the old Manchu people in the Northeast will be mobilized to establish the "Manchu-Mongolia Republic" in the Northeast and Mongolia.
This plan is based on the premise of mutiny, and the code name is "574", which means "armed uprising".
There are local support personnel, but the garrison’s brains need to be in hand. Xiqia in the Northeast has been acting as commander for many times after Zhang Zuoxiang often visited Beijing and Pei Qixun also served as the commander of the Beidahuang Construction Corps. As long as he sees the right time and controls the troops in the base camp, it is very possible.
On the Mongolian side, Dofei also found another character, Zhang Jinghui, who was very dissatisfied with Zhang Hanqing. He was "kicked out of the army" during the disarmament craze (Zhang Jinghui said to himself). He is currently the commander of the Mongolian Construction Corps. As a veteran of the Fengjun Army who has always held heavy troops, he feels like he has been kicked out of the center of power - and this is actually the case.
Zhang Hanqing did not have a good look at this traitor who was the first to surrender to the enemy in history and became the top official in the small imperial court of "Manchukuo" (he was known as the founder of "Manchukuo"). In addition to his previous dissatisfaction, the title was awarded this time. He is the only commander who is still a lieutenant general, the lowest among all the old men in the Fengxian. He is deliberately being left out because many of his former subordinates have already become generals and lieutenant generals.
The Mongolian Construction Corps has more than 100,000 troops without uniforms, and they are all in his hands. If the Northeast is solved and Mongolia responds, then it will have the style of the "Manchu-Mongolia Republic". If several places in Inner Mongolia are also separated, it will be called an event with huge impact.
But they also know that independence of Inner Mongolia is impossible. Now there is no Inner Mongolia in the complete sense: part of Inner Mongolia was later assigned to Ningxia, most to Suiyuan and Chahar, and part to Rehe and Xing'an. , are all places beyond the reach of Japanese power.
In addition, since Outer Mongolia has returned, the only possible foreign aid route to the north has also been blocked. If you rebel, you will die - even the armed police stationed in Zhangjiakou can wipe them out in one fell swoop, let alone the Beijing Military Region. of the 5 formed armies.
At this time, the Li Shouxin Cavalry Regiment stationed in Duolun came into play. If there is chaos in Beijing, he can ask the People's Army who may participate in the suppression not to cross his jurisdiction. As long as he doesn't raise a big flag, this request is not too much.
In addition, there is Ningxia Provincial Chairman Ma Tingxing, who has always been alienated from the central government (due to the strengthening of the central government's control, his concurrent position as commander of the armed police force has been cancelled). He had to press the button as the central government gradually gained more power. That restless heart. But also because China and the Soviet Union had already established good relations, they were isolated and helpless, just waiting to be moved.
This time, he also expressed his desire to give it a try. Tufei also agreed to let Ningxia alone after the matter was completed.?.
Even so, the anti-Central forces are still too weak, and a heavyweight needs to be found to cover the scene. Otherwise, even if the coup succeeds in the end, I'm afraid it won't be Zhang Xuecheng's turn to inherit the throne. The only person who can be called an important figure and who has the opportunity to support Zhang Xuecheng is Marshal Wu Wu Junsheng, who is also known as Marshal Zhang.
Zhang Zuolin's ability to become the "King of Northeast China" and finally take over Beijing was closely related to the assistance of Wu Junsheng, Sun Liechen, and Zhang Zuoxiang. In all major events, Wu Junsheng gave his full support without exception.
He has also served as Zhang Zuolin's deputy for a long time, and has installed a large number of backbones in the Fengjun army, such as Wan Fulin, Xing Shilian, Su Bingwen, Ma Longtan, etc. Basically, all officers from Heilongjiang Province are his subordinates. As one of the five commanders, he has considerable influence in the People's Army.
He was also loyal to Zhang Zuolin. The Beiyang government once made an attempt to split the Feng faction and wanted to appoint Wu as the governor of Liaoning. However, Wu expressed his loyalty to Zhang Zuolin and refused to accept the order. When Zhang Zuolin was forced to give up his job, he said humorously: "I can't handle it for a day. If you don't do it, we will quit together." He also said: "Who is the hero? I think we are all bears, and only the commander-in-chief is the hero."
In order to maintain the Fengcian warlords' rule over the Northeast, he carried out bloody suppression of the resistance struggles of the people in various places, and curbed and resolutely suppressed some incidents that affected the situation.
But he was respectful to the Japanese and spared no effort in promoting "China-Japan friendship": He strictly ordered the military and police not to be disrespectful to the Japanese, and to do their best to protect their lives and property. When he was still serving as the governor of Heilongjiang, whenever Japanese people came to visit him, no matter what their status was, they would always host banquets and invite their staff to accompany him, as a sign of sincerity and in exchange for the favor of the Japanese.
When Zhang Zuolin became increasingly tough on Japan, the Japanese also had the idea of ????supporting Wu Jun to be promoted to the king of Northeast China. He did have the strength and reputation. After Sun Liechen fell ill, not to mention the young marshal, he and Zhang Zuoxiang were the most prestigious in the army.
"But it is true that Wu Junsheng is respectful to the Japanese, but asking him to oppose Zhang Zuolin goes against his understanding of his friends' trustworthiness, and the situation does not allow it.
“But not opposing Zhang Zuolin does not mean not opposing Zhang Zuoxiang.

Chapter 763 Provocation
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the border, recuperate, train soldiers, and expand strength.
When he served as governor and governor of Jilin Province, he did some things that were beneficial to the people. Such as resisting the liberalization of the smoking ban, strictly prohibiting the cultivation of opium, and strictly prohibiting drug and drug trafficking in Jilin; he refused to cooperate with the Japanese, built the Jilin-Hai Railway on his own, and founded Jilin University, etc.
He was a loyal man, an old minister of the Feng clan, and devoted himself to assisting Marshal Zhang Xueliang. He gained Zhang Xueliang's respect for Zhang Zuoxiang, calling him uncle and auxiliary commander. He also made his first wife Yu Fengzhi the goddaughter of Zhang Zuoxiang's second wife Hua Futian. , the relationship has always been close.
After Feng Xi entered the Central Committee, under Zhang Hanqing's personnel mobilization, the commander of the 27th Army, which was expanded from the 27th Division and was responsible for the garrison, was replaced by Zhang Tingshu, the son of Zhang Zuoxiang. This shows the kindness of Zhang Zuolin. Zhilong.
In contrast, Wu Junsheng’s own life was prosperous, but his descendants have not achieved much, so it is inevitable to be anxious.
Historically, Wu Junsheng followed Zhang Zuolin all his life, and he did whatever Zhang Zuolin asked him to do. Although he was second in the sworn brotherhood, he always obeyed the advice of his seventh brother. Feng Delin once lamented that Wu's loyalty to Zhang was better than that of acting and singing, and he could be said to be a die-hard supporter.
However, he was not as prosperous as Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang. Zhang Zuolin had eight sons including Zhang Hanqing, while Zhang Zuoxiang had nine, while Wu Junsheng, who was older, only had one, and he had a son in his old age. Wu Tae-hoon gave birth to a son at the age of 49. How is it? Is it late enough?
I am 63 years old this year and my son is only 14 years old. In the era of the Republic of China when the average life expectancy was not too high, Wu Junsheng began to pave the way. He wanted to push his son while he was still on stage, so he asked Zhang Zuolin for an official position so that his son could build up his resume first. In later generations, people who joined the party at the age of 13 and were promoted to cadres at the age of 14 probably came about this way.
But Zhang Zuolin disagreed. He once said to Wu Junsheng sincerely: "Taixun is still young. This kind of behavior is too abrupt. I'm afraid that others will gossip. Besides, you are in great health. Let's live together for another ten or twenty years." It's not a problem. Are you afraid that the junior will not have a chance? Besides, you don't know what Xiao Liuzi is like. Although he is tough, he still takes good care of the old guys, so you don't have to worry. "
“Wu Junsheng was unwilling to accept what he said. Humanity exists, but if something happens to him, how far can his son go? Thinking about the history, Wu Taixun was promoted to cavalry battalion commander at the age of 16 and infantry colonel two months later. Wu Junsheng also put a lot of thought into it.
?????????????????????
Before that, he adopted a nephew, Wu Tailai.
Because of Wu Junsheng’s relationship, he has been promoted to the director of the North China Bureau of the Armed Police Force, with the rank of lieutenant general. However, Wu Tailai was still not satisfied. He always felt that he was more than ten years older than Zhang Tingshu, but he was promoted to the commander of the 27th Army by the other party. Although the two men have roughly the same military rank and position, the 27th Army is a place where cadres can be quickly produced. Isn't Zhang Tingshu able to achieve this position because of his father?
Therefore, he often encouraged Wu Junsheng to compete with Zhang Zuo. He said: "Dad, Zhang Tingshu can be an old army commander. Isn't it my ability? They are both vice-chairmen. Look where you were squeezed out! Back then, He (referring to Zhang Zuoxiang) has a much lower position than you, and now he is in charge of all affairs in the Military Commission. You have followed Marshal Zhang all your life, so it is good for him. After the country was conquered, he ignored you."
These words touched Wu Junsheng’s heart.
After taking control of Beijing, in accordance with the principle of separation of the government and Congress, as Chairman of the Congress, he has resigned from all positions in the military and government, except for the fictitious title of Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, which ranks at the bottom. This was done by Zhang Hanqing so that he could follow the law when he was awarded the title of Marshal last time. Otherwise, his position as Vice Chairman of the Military Commission should have been revoked in theory.
Now that the Central Committee is planning to reduce the number of military officers, I didn't have any awareness at first - he has been involved in the military for a long time. But Wu Tailai said something that made him dissatisfied: "Isn't it just to make you grow old!"
To him, an old man from the old times, what kind of nonsense is this? What separation of powers? Holding the "nominal" position of President of Congress has actually made him politically marginalized. As for being one of the Seven Standing Committee members of the Politburo, what about it? Isn’t it just Zhang Hanqing who decided the Politburo | Standing Committee? Relatively speaking, Zhang Zuoxiang, the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission who is in charge of specific affairs, is much more prosperous than him!
He was quite critical of the fact that his long-term deputy and brother-in-law, Ma Longtan, had also entered this nominal Congress. This was to make him an empty figure in the military! Although Ma Longtan himself is very happy.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After Ma Longtan became a general, he joined the National Assembly to "retire". I'm afraid he will be treated like this in the future, right?
The all-pervasive Japanese quickly caught this discordant incident, and the Kwantung Army’s head of organization was rich and powerful.Xian Er secretly made an appointment with Wu Junsheng in person to express the Japanese government's willingness and determination to support his successor Zhang Zuolin.
Tu Fei said: "The Marshal grew up with Feng Jun. Chairman Zhang's status today is inseparable from your help. However, after becoming famous, Marshal Wu's status is worrying!"
Although Wu Junsheng felt unhappy, it did not mean that he would just do this. He squinted and said with a smile: "It's good for us to be the chairman of the National Assembly now. Yu Ting is also very free as the president of the country. The two of us often talk together. On many things, Yu Ting still obeys what he says, so what's the worry? Not worried? Mr. Doi is worrying too much!"
Doihara Kenji smiled slightly and said: "That's right. What's the relationship between Marshal Zhang and Marshal Wu? But when the power was handed over to Zhang Xueliang, he seemed to like his assistant commander more. Assistant minister, you are a good talker. "
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Zhang Zuoxiang's word "auxiliary minister" can be associated with the Chinese people, especially the "auxiliary ministers" of big figures. However, Zhang Hanqing is the prince, and Zhang Zuoxiang is his important arm, which is really appropriate.
Wu Junsheng rolled his pea-sized eyes and understood his purpose. Want to separate? You made the wrong calculation! Not to mention his relationship with Zhang and his son, even the situation does not allow anyone to shake the status of Zhang and his son.
There is no doubt that the young marshal will be the future head of the country - the warlords who have been living in the old era have no doubt that the father's legacy is inherited by the son, even if it is the power of the country. This idea is deeply rooted in Wu Junsheng's mind and cannot be changed by a few words.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Do?? Which of those civil and military personnel who have been assigned to various important positions by others who have used their talents to the best of their ability, are not grateful? If you want to cause chaos, you are seeking death!
He said with a smile: "I'm old, and we won't get involved in those fights for power. The old commander is so kind to me, and the young commander is like my nephew. I have no idea. And who wants to do it? If he messes around inside, I will still beat him to death together with the old commander!"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????? back
"But Wu Junsheng's dissatisfaction is just a feeling of dissatisfaction with personnel appointments as a veteran of the old Feng clan, rather than having bad thoughts because of it. Therefore, he directly rejected Tufei's "persuasion".
However, he continued his consistent "friendly" attitude toward Japan. In order not to harm the "friendship" between him and the Japanese, he did not mention the matter to Zhang Zuolin, thus paving the way for a great change in the future. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 764 Royal Pujie and his woman
Wu Junsheng’s unwillingness does not mean that his faction is not enthusiastic about it. At least some of Wu Junsheng's die-hard followers are enthusiastic.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? To be honest, Zhang Hanqing's previous reforms have touched their vital interests.
In order to show their firm determination to support, under the example of some sycophants, some apparent properties and large amounts of land had to be either sold off or hidden in fear because of the land reform. If there is a chance for Wu Junsheng to replace Zhang Zuolin, they are optimistic about the success.
Because Wu Junsheng was worried about what happened after his death, he had a very tolerant attitude towards making money.
The young commander's current strength is amazing, but it is not without its shortcomings. First of all, the men of the Young Marshal Department are all expanded from the old Feng Clan, and most of the officers are inextricably related to the old Feng Clan. It is undeniable that Zhang Hanqing has his own unique personal charm, but if it were not for the strong support of the elders headed by Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen, in any case, given his qualifications and influence in the military, he would not have reached his current level.
And they are also collecting some evidence, waiting to be used at a critical moment.
Zhang Hanqing has done many major things, and naturally there will be some work that is not good at the beginning or end, or deviations occurred during the execution process. It’s not bad if you don’t do something. As long as you do something, there will always be something that will be caught.
Zhang Xuecheng and others thought that Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen and others supported the young marshal because of their relationship with the old marshal. If, by any chance, something happens to the old coach, is there a chance to take advantage of him? As long as Zhang Zuolin has something to do, he will immediately recommend Zhang Zuoxiang as the leader. In this way, the people of the Young Marshal Department will definitely doubt Zhang Zuoxiang's problem.
No matter where they go, the group of people who have deep feelings for the old Feng clan will be a great loss to the young commander's camp. Maybe some neutral people will turn to Wu Shuai's arms in order to stay out of the matter. The suspicion of the young master of the country has always been the source of chaos in the country. At that time, when Wu Shuai is needed to support the situation, I am afraid he will not be able to refuse!
When some people are harboring evil intentions, what is our young commander doing?
????????????????????????????
Shuttles between Beijing and Tianjin, handling major decisions in a timely manner, and leaving other routine matters to his subordinates. The operation of a country requires many people who perform their own duties. If everything was done personally, it would not be a mature system, and Zhuge Liang, the most awesome person, would be exhausted to death? Zhang Hanqing, who came from modern times, knows better the meaning of decentralization.
With Chief of General Staff Han Linchun in control of the army, Minister of Defense Jiang Baili strategizing for him, Military Commission with Zhang Zuoxiang in charge, General Political Department with Jiang Dengxuan and Wang Yizhe guarding it, and the commanders of the eight military regions all being their own people, the army is as stable as Mount Tai.
Politically, Premier Wang Yongjiang has sufficient strength, and with the help of Pan Fu and Liu Shangqing, two leading figures in industry and finance, Gu Weijun can rest assured in diplomacy. The Politburo has the power, and he can occasionally come up with strategic ideas, which is enough to keep China busy. . After so many experiences, he became more and more proud of "ruling a big country is like cooking small dishes"!
His ease is reflected in his interest in life. His important job has now shifted to making friends with business people and jointly sustaining China's economy.
In the future, we will definitely have the biggest say in the economy. Dealing with them in advance now can be regarded as a united front. The first is to be familiar with the road, and the second is to pave the way for the congressional elections. Because China still has a long way to go in its process of liberation, those who can be elected to Congress are currently influential people in the political, economic, and cultural circles.
The People’s Party cannot conquer the world, and China’s economic development cannot rely entirely on those twelve drags. Nationalizing important economies is only a temporary expedient. When conditions improve, he will definitely transform the current planned economy into a market economy.
Because economist Milton Friedman said: “Spending your own money to do your own things is both economical and effective; spending your own money to do other people’s things is only economical and not effective; Spending other people's money to do one's own things only focuses on results, not economy; spending other people's money to do other people's things focuses on neither results nor economy."
Government officials are expected to spend their money carefully, just like their own savings, unless they really reach a communist society. The system can prevent him from being greedy, taking things, and not wanting them, but saving is very difficult to achieve, even if there is a fiscal budget and future Congress to control it.
The best way is to put it on the market.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Hanqing attends various cocktail parties and dances, so that national capitalists can act boldly and confidently and strive to support the backbone of China's economy in a relatively short period of time.
On these occasions, it is inevitable to meet some people with intentions, and here is your identity. When the water is extremely clear, there are no fish; when people observe it, there are no disciples. just?Come over.
The young man’s hair is parted in the middle, and the top of his head is so modern that it can bite flies. It is a common men’s attire in social circles, but Zhang Hanqing is not cold. He prefers a soldier's crew cut with fresh hair, thinking it's more energetic, although he can no longer shave it so short for various reasons.
But he was very interested in the lady next to him. She had thin lips, a goose face, and a slim figure. She was wearing a cheongsam and was half-swaying. She followed the young man over and smiled brightly, making Zhang Hanqing moved.
There was a beautiful woman there. Zhang Hanqing stood up quickly to say hello. The man bowed down respectfully and said, "I am Pujie."
“Oh, it’s the royal family. Huh? So, she is? Zhang Hanqing laughed and looked at the lady, "If I guess correctly, you are Ms. Tang Yiying?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 765 Your circle is in chaos
This time, not only Pu Jie and Gu Weijun were surprised, but Tang Yiying herself was even more surprised, mixed with a hint of pride: "Young Marshal actually recognizes me?"
Recognize it! How could you not recognize it? Historian Tang Jiegang's oral record of Zhang Xueliang's eleven mistresses has spread to all those who are curious about him, and Zhang Hanqing is one of them. The little incident between the former young marshal and Tang Yiying made him excited. Now that the main character is on the scene, can he not be excited?
She is indeed a beauty. She is naturally beautiful and has her own halo. It was so normal for Zhang Xueliang to hook up with her. Didn’t you realize that he was already getting ready to make a move?
“Uh, I lost my composure, I lost my composure. Zhang Hanqing gave a rare embarrassed smile: "Ms. Tang is well-known in the circle. If I say I don't know you, then I don't dare to say that I have played in this circle."
He told the truth. He really joined with the intention of playing in this circle. The circle is very chaotic!
Last time I wandered around in this circle, I accepted two women, Gu Ruiyu and Liang Qingzhu, and this time Tang Yiying appeared again. It feels like the thief will not fail!
He said it casually without thinking about anything else, but the romantic man Zhang Zongchang understood it more deeply: "After all, he is a young commander. He is so busy that he can still find time to remember these beautiful little ladies. He is not afraid of the little lady next to him being jealous. See Come and find your way to the inner world!"
Yu Yifan next to him glanced at him, with a smile in his pretty eyes: "You always said you would bring me to this circle to meet the influential people in Beijing and Tianjin, but I didn't expect that you still have such thoughts?"
Zhang Hanqing already knew the reason for their appearance. This Pujie is really interesting. If he doesn’t want to be a good emperor, he has to join the army! A few months ago, he had told him through Chen Yiguan that he wanted to study military affairs at the Shenyang Army Command College, but now he came in person. Just come when you come, and you brought her here with you, didn't you intend to accomplish this wonderful thing for me?
Many people are familiar with Pujie, such as Gu Weijun. More than ten years after the Qing emperor abdicated, the royal family had gradually been cast down from the mortal world, and they would also climb tall trees. Gu Weijun, as a young and steadfast figure in the political arena of the Republic of China, had long been deliberately befriended by Pu Jie.
Since he was an acquaintance and he took the initiative to come over, Zhang Hanqing had no reason to ignore him. Besides, just because Tang Yiying was here, he had to take good care of them. Of course, this is just a ceremonial consideration. Others are not suitable to be discussed and there is no need to discuss them anymore.
Since time travel has slowly stirred up the overall situation in China, especially since the situation has moved away from official history, he has tried his best not to interact with people from official history, for fear that doing so would resurrect history again. But the appearance of Gu Ruiyu made his private life still have the shadow of his previous life. This was something he cared about very much, so he repeatedly interfered with her trajectory. With his efforts, Gu Ruiyu's performance finally differed greatly from the official history, which relieved his worries.
As for Huang Wanqing and Yu Yifan, they both broke into his life brand-new, so despite the twists and turns, they finally accepted them. After the country promulgated the "Marriage Law", the three people who were already married, Yu Fengzhi, Huang Wanqing, and Gu Ruiyu, were considered legal. Only Yu Yifan had no choice. For this, he felt guilty for a long time and spent a lot of compensation on her.
If Miss Zhao Si appears again, Zhang Hanqing will definitely reject her cruelly, if she does not absolutely surpass the four de facto wives.
The appearance of Tang Yiying made him have mixed emotions. It seems that blindly hiding is not enough. Some things that are destined to happen or have an intersection with him are not dependent on the person's will. It depends on how he guides and uses it.
Pujie’s idea of ??learning martial arts did not happen overnight. As Puyi's companion and later spokesman, he knew that it was absolutely impossible to have no military power, and even basic personal freedoms could not be guaranteed. He had never received any prominent courtesy since he was sensible, and he felt that society and people had no respect for the declining royal family. dismissive. He went to social gatherings, built relationships with the emperor, and sought military support in an attempt to make a comeback.
He spent a lot of money to ask Chen Guanyi to mediate for him. The latter was said to be able to speak with several big figures in the People's Party. Unfortunately, Zhang Hanqing rejected him directly.
The Northeast was the place where the Manchus were "Dragon-hung". Many down-and-out former Manchu nobles had a better psychological foundation and social influence there than in other places. This was also Zhang Hanqing's heartache. Wasn't "Manchukuo" created by these people in history? Who would have thought at first?
After a warm meeting, and after three rounds of drinking, Pujie brought up his desire to enter the military academy intentionally or unintentionally: "Young Marshal, you know, on the surface, I am a member of the royal family and the younger brother of the former emperor. Infinite scenery, right?
But it’s already the fifteenth year of the Republic of China, the rule of the bannermen has passed, and there are still many people who don’t understand this trend! Fighting chickens and running dogs, sitting around and taking advantage of everything, seeing that the banner people are living a miserable life and will be reduced to the bottom of society.
As a former emperor’s younger brother, I want to study military affairs, not just like someone elseWhat people think is wrong with that, but I really have no other talents, and I want to hold up a mirror for the banner people to see: As the emperor's younger brother, I have to find another way out, how can they continue to live in such a drunken life? Live life? This is my original intention, please make it come true. "
"Oh, Zhang Hanqing nodded, "It's not easy for Mr. Pu to have such knowledge."
The reason why I refused him to study military was not because I was afraid that he would do anything wrong, but because I was worried that he would be favored by someone who wanted to do something wrong. The People's Army has taken shape. He is a member of the royal family. Even if he comes from time to time, he will not be afraid of him.
It’s just that the Japanese have been operating outside the customs for a long time, but they have been suppressed by themselves and unable to make big waves. If he goes, will the Japanese say anything against him? You must know that the establishment of Manchukuo did not happen overnight!
It’s just that Pujie’s appearance reminded him of one thing: Queen Wanrong.
We haven’t seen each other for two years. How is she? Emperor Xun needs to be kicked out of the Forbidden City, otherwise some people will inevitably have ideas if he is stuck in there. If he could live like an ordinary civilian, would his influence gradually decrease, causing some people to stop thinking about restoring the country? It's just that in this way, Wanrong, who is the queen, is reduced to an ordinary commoner, which will ruin the vague impulse in Zhang Hanqing's heart.
So Pujie or Puyi himself didn’t know, it was because of some of his ideas that may have completely stopped him.
Pujie had great respect for Zhang Hanqing, and even Tang Yiying fell in love with him at first sight. They invited the young marshal to their home for dinner.
This is nothing polite. A beautiful woman was interested in him, and it happened in history. This niece of Emperor Guangxu’s Concubine Zhen and Concubine Jin is pretty, versatile, and highly educated. She is exactly the type that Zhang Hanqing likes. In fact, Zhang Hanqing likes all beauties. The difference lies in her good personality and good looks. Those who like it are all married and taken home to appreciate them slowly.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It’s hard to justify marrying another wife with my current high position. Instead, I miss the time when I was not famous and not famous. At that time, I was free to take girls!
Huang Wanqing and Yu Yifan, who are as innocent as ladies, have experienced it, including Huang Ruqing, who can be regarded as a simple mature woman - they have not contacted each other for a long time; and plump and passionate Gu Ruiyu have also experienced it. They all have one common characteristic: they are from common people. , even if the conditions were later as good as those of Yu and Huang, they could only be regarded as nouveau riche.
Zhang Hanqing has never experienced someone like Tang Yiying, who was born into a real royal family with a hundred years of experience. I’m afraid that feeling is very different from other people’s, right?
Her surname is Tartara, a member of the Tianghong Banner, a great nobleman in Manchuria, and a prominent family background: her ancestors served as governors of Huguang, Gansu and Shaanxi for more than 20 years, and her grandfather served as the Minister of Household Affairs; needless to say, her aunt is Guangxu's favorite concubine Jin Fei.
When she was young, she had a smooth life, she was beautiful, and she was talented. She was originally going to marry Pu Yi and become the queen, so she was very dissatisfied with the marriage she ended up "marrying" to Pu Jie. When they got married, she was twenty and Pujie was seventeen. They were both immature in age, so they were somewhat rebellious. Shortly after their marriage, the two separated, which made it easier for her to start her own extramarital affair.
Relying on her beauty and talent, she has made many men fall in love with her. However, in formal occasions, she would occasionally have a double show with Pu Jiecheng.
But no matter how many people you know, how can the young commander in front of you have the courage? She was naturally fascinated by being young, handsome, and most importantly wielding immense power.
Zhang Hanqing is not abstaining from meat. Besides, is there any cat in the world that doesn’t eat meat? A woman as talented and beautiful as Tang Yiying is like a dream lover. Since Tang Jiegang said that he once had an affair with the other party, why not go over and have a look? Everyone invited him, so he decided to go!
But she still needs to be polite: "It's too much to come to visit. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for Mr. Pu." Her serious husband is next to her. It is very inappropriate for her to invite a man so rashly. What's going on? It should have been Pu Jie who invited me.
"It's convenient, it's convenient." Tang Yiying answered hurriedly: "I happen to like painting, and the young marshal's literary talent and poetry are first-class, so please give me some pointers."
It is said that she is very good at painting, and it is normal to have this idea. Zhang Hanqing's poems are famous all over the world. If you are lucky enough to add a few lines to her paintings, your net worth will be a hundred times greater. These are secondary, the key is the influence.
Pujie wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. Tang Yiying's reputation in Kyoto's social circle is not good. Her character is somewhat rebellious. Everyone in the circle knows that she and her husband are separated. There is no guarantee that there will not be some flowers and plants around her. Zhang Hanqing is a noble person, but he doesn't seem to be very discreet when it comes to sex with women. It's better not to cause any trouble!
But he just thought that if something really happened to them, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't control Tang Yiying's wife, and Zhang Hanqing, the young marshal, was beyond his control. Besides, he was still asking her to do things.
"Poetry is a minor topic, and my ability to appreciate paintings is limited." Zhang Hanqing said modestly. This is true, but given his achievements in poetry, everyone thought he was being modest.
"There is no separation between music, chess, calligraphy and painting. When the young marshal said this, it seems that he looks down on little girls. I will be sad." She glanced over with a smile, her charming eyes seductive. Even so, she didn't look sad at all, but showed a pleasant smile. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The young marshal is not something he can control, and he is still asking him to do things.

Chapter 766 Hot
Everyone, including Pu Jie, thought that Tang Yiying just said it casually in social circles, and the young marshal only agreed casually. Only the next day, Zhang Hanqing was actually invited to Pu's house.
Pu Jie was not here, so he took a bus to Tianjin early in the morning to visit old friends. The young marshal in the prime of life has arrived, but there is no one in charge of the family. However, Tang Yiying showed a good education. She diligently invited Zhang Hanqing to sit in the living room and properly arranged his entourage.
"I'm really sorry. You know how sincere the young marshal is, he can't let the second master leave the capital no matter what! Look, what can this do!" Tang Yiying's Beijing accent is smooth and pleasant to the ears. After all, he was cultivated by a big family, and his every move was quite elegant, which made Zhang Hanqing feel itchy——did they get along for the first time in history? Well, that’s the wrong word, Noai? Alas, that’s not right either!
What the hell am I thinking? But it's strange that when I'm with her, I just want to do this! This has never happened before.
"I really mean it! Miss Tang didn't just say it casually, right?" Zhang Hanqing corrected her. But when he said this, he was looking at Tang Yiying with a wild look in his eyes, which was extremely ungraceful.
“I also mean it sincerely.” She smiled without solemnity.
Sit down, drink tea, and talk about some unknown things.
It seems that it is not a problem for a man and a woman to chat politely, at least Tang Yiying seems to think so. After a while, she stood up gracefully and smiled brightly at Zhang Hanqing: "Young Marshal, I have some paintings I want to show you. Come upstairs with me."
? Upstairs is the bedroom.
She invited him to go.
Good stuff, go to the bedroom! As soon as Zhang Hanqing got excited, it started! Didn't that monk in "Water Margin" seduce Yang Xiong's wife Pan Qiaoyun just in the name of seeing the Buddha's tooth? Even in modern times, a girl with a little bit of rules will not let other men enter her bedroom easily!
The bedroom of the second grandma of the Pu family is very spacious and bright. The side-by-side acacia pillows, the bright red quilt, and the occasional wrinkled texture on the sheets all arouse Zhang Hanqing's interest. At the same time, a faint fragrance came out from nowhere, making people feel indescribably comfortable.
Zhang Hanqing, who has always been quite determined about the affairs between men and women, is a little uneasy. This is a sign of how much repression he must have, but didn't he have a fight with Yu Yifan last night? Why is the energy always so amazing?
Zhang Hanqing stood behind Tang Yiying, watching her squatting on the ground with her cheongsam rolled up, feeling relaxed and happy.
This is a woman trained by a true aristocrat. Although she does not have any more features in terms of beauty, her every move and every move shows a noble demeanor that cannot be learned no matter how hard you learn it. A bit like Sheng Aiyi, but with aristocratic temperament but no royal title; like Lin Huiyin, but Lin is a little more solemn and inaccessible.
When the Second Grandma Pu took out a thick stack of pasted news clippings, Zhang Hanqing was still surprised. It turned out that she really saw something good! Zhang Hanqing's speeches, poetry masterpieces and reviews from all parties, his military developments, his political theories, and his speeches from a distance are all news about Zhang Hanqing in recent years.
This woman really has a "heart". Isn't that what the star-chasers in future generations will do?
Tang Yiying was a little proud and feminine, which made Zhang Hanqing very moved: "Young Marshal, I have been paying attention to you." She looked at Zhang Hanqing with those charming eyes: "How should you thank others?"
Zhang Hanqing touched his nose, that was a signal that he was in heat. Since there was no one else, he could let it go. He smiled and said: "It's hard to refuse kindness, you can only appreciate it with your heart. When it comes to thanking you, well, what can a family like my second grandma not want? I really have no choice but to give my life to you!"
He originally meant it as a joke, but on this occasion, it was a bit explicit. A man and a woman alone, under the fields of melons and plums!
After saying this, Zhang Hanqing felt a little regretful. A man and a woman whom he had known for a short time were saying these unreasonable things in his boudoir. If she fell out, he would really not be able to step down. It's one thing to know that she might be that way, but that's not necessarily true from history, right? It's okay to be romantic, but you can't degenerate into vulgarity!
Tang Yiying smiled as brightly as a flower: "No one can bear the body of the young marshal." She spoke in a strong tone, which inevitably made people wonder what she meant.
"Can not afford"! What does this mean? Zhang Hanqing silently guessed what she meant, but when he saw that she didn't look angry, he was slightly relieved, and just silently muttered in his heart: "Why am I getting more and more talkative? Women are tigers, and they can't mess around. It won't affect them." good!"
It’s okay not to say the last sentence. Thinking of the impact, he chuckled: My reputation as a romantic young marshal has already spread all over the country, so what does it matter? Isn’t that what happens between men and women? He has bad intentionsShe looked at Tang Yiying who was not shy and said: "Don't worry, the second grandma is a golden branch and a jade leaf, she won't be crushed."
Talking about the relationship between men and women, it is also strange: Yu Yifan, Huang Wanqing, and Liang Qingzhu appear to be weak, but they show no signs of decadence under his hard work; on the contrary, Gu Ruiyu, who looks plump and strong, is constantly beaten. Therefore, things like this between men and women really cannot be taken at face value.
??Looking at Tang Yiying’s figure similar to Huang Wanqing’s, and her skin as tender as Yu Yifan’s, you can imagine the ecstasy. But, despite the good imperial younger brother Pu Jie, is it strange that this woman looks down on him and clings to him?
It is not surprising at all that Tang Yiying is such a talented woman, far beyond the control of Pujie, a declining royal family. Besides, she was three years older than Pu Jie when she got married. Now she has only been married for more than a year, so she knows what it's like, while Pu Jie is still a child who hasn't grown up yet.
Tang Yiying smiled charmingly: "What a golden branch and jade leaf, that's all in the past. Don't look at people calling us 'Second Grandma' or 'Second Grandma' on the outside, but they are laughing at our family secretly. Banner People It’s not like you don’t know that life is difficult.”
This is true.
After the founding of the Republic of China, the Eight Banners disciples who were originally parasitic on the bodies of the Qing Dynasty suddenly lost their source of livelihood. They have long relied on their ancestors' meritorious service and food and rent. Most of them have no skills, are unwilling to work, and cannot farm. They have no choice but to wait for death. Lao She's "Camel Xiangzi" is a vivid portrayal of this character. Otherwise, how could "child of the Eight Banners" become a famous curse word?
The bannermen, who had no livelihood, gradually lost their dignity and fell to the bottom of society. The ethics and moral principles of the past were often left behind. It is the former royal relatives who, under the trend of social development, are either eliminated by the times, or they seize any opportunity to return to the stage.
Tang Yiying is an example. According to official history, she got together with Zhang Xueliang and Zhejiang Governor Lu Xiaojia, and with the help of the latter's father and son, she shipped out many rare treasures from Prince Chun's Mansion and sold them off. Finally, she fled to Hong Kong and disappeared.
It’s just that other bannermen were in trouble, but she also complained to Zhang Hanqing, which seemed a bit like begging for love.
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how sad it is, it's not your second grandma's turn. There is an emperor behind you!"
Tang Yiying curled her lips: "Don't tell me, this emperor can only have some gimmicks with the old man and the old lady. How many years has it been since the Republic of China, who still talks about that name? Only our second master is still a gimmick." I go to say hello every time like a treasure."
She didn’t think there was anything wrong with talking about her husband and parents-in-law in front of outsiders. Sometimes I feel that the children of these rich and noble families are at two extremes: noble in front of others, and extremely harsh in the back. What if Zhang Xueliang had no sympathy for this woman at all during his interview with Gu Jiegang and directly called her a "bad woman"!
"Well done, Your Majesty. You can have three palaces and six courtyards. Unlike me, I have to watch the wind for a long time when marrying a wife, lest the newspapers say I don't respect women again." Zhang Hanqing didn't think it was anything else. His current treatment is better than that of the emperor. He doesn't try to make too many concessions, but he has to be extra careful in arranging his women. It has been several years, and Liang Qingzhu has not been able to get on the stage.
Tang Yiying laughed: "Don't tell me, you are much more interesting than the emperor now. The one in the palace, seeing the empress and the imperial concubine unable to eat, is much more delicious than you."
Zhang Hanqing likes this kind of gossip the most. When these things are said from the mouth of a beautiful woman, they are even more charming: "How do you say it?"
Tang Yiying had a look of contempt on her face: "That one, he was abused by the eunuchs when he was a child, so he is powerless."
Zhang Hanqing laughed, "How do you know these secret things in such detail?"
Tang Yiying did not feel ashamed but felt happy: "Who doesn't know about this? It's just spreading in private to save face! That person and the queen and the imperial concubine have not consummated their marriage. The young eunuch told me this."
Zhang Hanqing was amazed that it was true that the queen was still a virgin after ten years of marriage. Thinking that the queen had to remain a widow even though she had no good skin, he felt hot in his heart. But why did she want to make a fool of herself? After all, the emperor was her husband's brother.
The two of them were alone in the same room, chatting about the love affairs between men and women, and naturally felt a little charming. Zhang Hanqing flipped through the briefing absently, while Tang Yiying kept talking beside him.
After reading the book, the feelings doubled. In the impression, the young marshal met Tang Yiying for the first time, and something happened in her bedroom. Can we start now? I really don’t know how the young marshal managed to seduce her. This guy’s political and military abilities are not very good, but he’s really good at picking up girls!
Men chase women through mountains of partitions, and women chase men through partitions of paper. Knowing the opponent's psychology, Zhang Hanqing "created" opportunities intentionally or unintentionally. He put the briefing in Tang Yiying's hand and wanted to take the opportunity to touch her hand - as long as the hands could be hooked together, he could think of thousands of ways.
But Tang Yiying just laughed and blocked his hand with her arm, then squatted down and put the briefing back to its original place. What kind of attitude is this? Zhang Hanqing was a little confused. It's not his style to insist on the overlord's bow. If she doesn't want to, it will be embarrassing for nothing, right?

Chapter 767 The woman who is a complete bastard (Part 1)
But her posture is so alluring. The key is that her identity makes people full of vitality. The wife of the emperor's younger brother, the relatives of the royal family, and the ladies of the upper class Manchu clan, all of them are what men want to conquer.
Zhang Hanqing tried every possible means. The method for men to seduce women in "Water Margin" is so simple and effective, why is it ineffective when I use it? The key is that he already knows that this woman is interested in him, it depends on him using a suitable method to break through this layer of paper!
What does she want to do? There must be a reason for approaching him for no reason, inviting him to his door very suddenly, and expressing his feelings in such a place. In this case, please don't be too aggressive. He clapped his hands with a smile and said to Tang Yiying: "Second Grandma, what treasures do you have for Xueliang to see, otherwise I have to take my leave. Please come and visit after Second Master Pu returns home." He slowly walked towards the door of the bedroom and waited. Tang Yiying expressed her stance.
Tang Yiying followed to the door, suddenly pulled Zhang Hanqing over and closed the door at the same time. She leaned against the door and said with a smile: "Young Marshal, why do you need to pretend again? I know your purpose very well. In your heart, am I considered a treasure?"
Her words were extremely tempting, and Zhang Hanqing was elated. At this moment, her true nature was revealed, and her previous modesty was like an appetizer. At first glance, you can tell that she is an expert in this. This woman is really open-minded to the extreme, but I like it!
Since it’s open to the public, it’s natural not to hide it. He grabbed her hand and said in a deep voice: "Of course you are a baby, but I still want to see your baby."
Tang Yiying did not throw away this time and let him catch her. At this stage, if Zhang Hanqing no longer knows how to seize opportunities, he will be worthy of being called a romantic young marshal. He only pulled gently, and Tang Yiying threw herself into his arms, like a baby swallow returning to its nest.
Usually Zhang Hanqing takes the initiative in this kind of thing, but this time he has completely seen what novelty is. In his arms, she took the initiative to lift her cheongsam, letting her white thighs blind Zhang Hanqing.
Tang Yiying unbuttoned her clothes with a speed that was almost military. By the time Zhang Hanqing took off her marshal uniform, all she had left was a tight-fitting short skirt. Without him having to do anything, she had already taken the initiative to unbuckle his belt.
She was a lady one moment and a slut the next. Zhang Hanqing enjoyed this excitement very much.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Zhang Hanqing can’t just sit behind others, can’t he? He was really experienced at this kind of thing, and the two quickly rolled onto the bed. One side marches straight in and is unstoppable; the other side has no obstacles and is tightly entangled. Oh my gosh, she's only twenty-one, okay? Where did this skill come from?
Zhang Hanqing was agitated while trying his best to recall the introduction to her in history: She and Puyi were childhood sweethearts and the most popular candidate for the queen, but she was evaluated as "slutty" by her aunt Jin Fei! Judging from the speed with which she hooked up with him, Pujie's head must be a lush green Hulunbuir prairie.
She wrapped herself around Zhang Hanqing like a snake, wrapping her around him tighter and tighter, making him feel more and more accomplished. The woman under her body is not an ordinary woman, but represents the dignity and dignity of the Manchu royal family. If each heavy impact could represent one year of revenge for the disaster this backward horse nation brought to ancient China, Zhang Hanqing really wished he had ten thousand years.
Zhang Hanqing felt a special feeling in sleeping with other people's women and growing his own prestige in other people's bedrooms. The woman below her is also wearing a bun that symbolizes the headdress of aristocratic women of the Qing Dynasty. The Tatara clan is decorated with a red flag. Isn’t it inferior to her status? Aren’t you just as committed to him seeking pleasure?
You should be like Zhang Hanqing!
But just as the dream will eventually wake up, before the final clarity came, Zhang Hanqing had already imagined her as a beautiful girl in the Forbidden City - if that queen could have a night of happiness with him, it would be so worth it. A beautiful thing to remember for a lifetime? In this romantic lust, he fired cannonballs of hatred at the representatives of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Tang Yiying’s face was flushed, and she helplessly allowed Zhang Hanqing to admire his trophies proudly. Every time at this moment, Zhang Hanqing felt that he was a great man, a useful man, and a caring man.
Being with Yu Yifan, Huang Wanqing and the others was a routine matter. Of course, there was pleasure in the beginning, but later on, there was no sense of conquest anymore. After all, it happened too many times, and it became the right and left hand. On the contrary, it was during the first collision with Hong Mudan, "Company Commander", and Huang Ruqing that I had such a joyful and refreshing feeling. It was very strange! Is it that I am destined to be nourished by different women so that I can continue to glow with passion?
"The clouds have gathered and the rain has dispersed. Tang Yiying's hair is scattered in all directions, and she is infinitely lazy. Zhang Hanqing stroked her snowy muscles, feeling satisfied.
After putting on her clothes, Tang Yiying immediately transformed into a dignified and steady lady with a noble demeanor. It was just hard to imagine that her inner life could be so absurd, which made Zhang Hanqing find it incredible when he calmed down.
After that, the young marshal and his imperial brother, this pair of people in Beijing and Tianjin social circles,The most eye-catching combination has become incredibly close, so much so that the outside world has even questioned whether the Young Marshal wants to carry out a "restoration" and make the emperor a "virtual king", thereby moving China towards a constitutional monarchy.
"The conscience of heaven and earth is just because of this relationship with the royal second mistress, isn't it?" Wherever Zhang Hanqing is present, Tang Yiying has to have a foot in the game, okay? You can't just admit it when you pull up your pants. Besides, this second grandma is young and sultry, and she feels great in bed!
Slowly, Zhang Hanqing understood what Tang Yiying meant: she wanted to make more money while her husband's father-in-law was still powerful, so that she would have something when the royal family disbanded in the future. Regardless of her motives, this woman sees further than ordinary men, and she also knows that the royal family is unreliable!
In order to be a husband and wife in the long run, Tang Yiying tried her best to encourage Pujie to go to Shenyang. Only when her husband is not around can she be more free. However, apart from being complacent about having an affair without anyone noticing, everyone in the circle saw her ambiguous relationship with the young marshal. But no one would say it.
Men and women should fight as they please, so why bother with these nosy matters!
This woman is incredible: she seems to have never thought about being a long-term couple with Pu Jie. Every day, she just tries to get some things from the palace to turn into private money, or she changes her tricks to "reminisce about the past" with Zhang Hanqing, and she never tires of it. In the next month, the two of them spent time together, as if they were newlyweds, only hiding it from Pu Jie.
But Zhang Hanqing cannot be dominated by her alone. He also has his real wife Yu Fengzhi, his second wife Huang Wanqing, his wife Gu Ruiyu from Tianjin, his lover Yu Yifan, and his current partner Liang Qingzhu to comfort him. If things go on like this, he will inevitably be exhausted mentally and physically.
Furthermore, because of his close relationship with Pu Jie, he was somewhat reluctant to deal with his brother Pu Yi - he had long wanted to expel the deposed emperor from the palace. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 768 The woman who is a complete bastard (Part 2)
During the Feng Yuxiang era, the reason why Zhang Hanqing wanted to "protect the emperor" was not because he had any feelings for the emperor in the Forbidden City. On the contrary, when he first met Puyi, he was determined to drive the boy out of the Forbidden City.
He didn't do it because the time was not right; he didn't agree with others because it was a political indicator. In any case, major events related to the political impact of the Republic of China could not be made by Lao Feng's people. It was a historic event to oust the previous emperor. He should do it by himself, even if he lifts him up with his front feet and then kicks him down with his own feet, that is his business.
“I just changed my mind after seeing Wanrong. This will be the last queen in Chinese history if she continues to stay in the palace. The emperor's subconscious buried in the man's heart made him decide to postpone this operation, just to get the queen, even for one night.
Such dirty thoughts cannot be expressed to anyone, except when meeting Tang Yiying.
When Tang Yiying, who was a relative of the emperor, developed further, he became more determined to get to know the queen.
On an early summer night, Tang Yiying made an appointment with Zhang Hanqing and had sex in her bedroom. Under Zhang Hanqing's "care", Pu Jie went to Shenyang Army Command College to study military affairs - Zhang Hanqing only provided an opportunity for the two to meet - and then filled Tang Yiying's emptiness with the spirit of fighting.
Sprinting and tamping, after hitting again and again, Zhang Hanqing exerted all his strength and flew thousands of miles with great pleasure. His opponent was Tang Yiying, who was still panting. This was the first time they had had a heart-to-heart talk in the bedroom, and Zhang Hanqing was completely depraved by her.
Tang Yiying gently touched his chest, which was as hard as iron due to regular exercise.
"Bad man, you will kill others, and you don't know any pity. But if the one in my family can be half as good as you, I will be satisfied."
Zhang Hanqing was full of energy and touched her pretty face casually: "Bitch! No matter how much you feed me, you can't get enough. If Pujie's little body is not a cuckold, he will be sucked dry by you sooner or later! A seemingly noble woman like you is here It’s so lewd in bed, don’t let people’s jaws drop if word spreads about it!” The words under the covers can be as erotic as they want, and they can also add to the fun.
Tang Yiying didn’t feel dissatisfied: “If I have wine today, I’ll be drunk now. As long as I’m happy, it doesn’t matter what others say!”
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "You don't want the royal face anymore?"
Tang Yiying curled her lips and said: "Shame? The most shameless place in the world is the palace! Starting from Xiaozhuang and his brother-in-law Dorgon, which dynasty has been clean? To Tongzhi and Guangxu Emperor, they all have good palaces. The women here don’t care, but they insist on finding happiness in brothels! And Emperor Xuantong, the water channel does not take the dry road, this is not the behavior of an emperor, it can’t be worse, but he is still aloof and content with being his emperor! "
Zhang Hanqing became interested. He touched and squeezed his hands restlessly, and said mischievously: "What water channel and dry channel? What do you mean?"
Tang Yiying was in high spirits. Besides, she and Zhang Hanqing were not separated yet, so she had no scruples in speaking: "Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know? Waterways and dry roads, as the name suggests, are places where there is water on a woman's body. Waterways are where there is no water." The place called Dry Road" She finally felt a little shy. Zhang Hanqing tried to talk to her again, but she was unwilling to answer the question.
Listening to sexy women talk about sex is more exciting than porn. Zhang Hanqing started to stir. He moved the guy that had swelled again, and said jokingly: "Where is the water? Is the place where I stay is the waterway?"
This kind of common knowledge about sex is probably known to all the little boys around ten years old in later generations.
The two of them had a good time again, and Zhang Hanqing said happily: "Waterways are better. I really don't understand those little emperors who ignore good waterways but want to mess around - but the emperor is really good." Ah, you can marry as many concubines as you want without worrying about the consequences."
Tang Yiying smiled and said: "What's the good of being an emperor in name only? Your current status can be regarded as the local emperor in Beijing. You even slept with the daughter-in-law of Prince Chun's palace. What else are you dissatisfied with!"
As the daughter-in-law of Prince Chun’s Mansion, this tone is not that a man slept with a woman, but that a woman slept with a man. Frankly speaking, Zhang Hanqing is not a male chauvinist, but the physiological differences between men and women and thousands of years of customs and habits still tend to accept that God favors men in bed.
"She is so open-minded. Even in future generations, I'm afraid she will be rare among the many women with liberated bodies and open minds, right?" What word should I use to describe her? "She's a complete bastard." It's so vivid!
Anyway, we are just friends, there is no need for Zhang Hanqing to criticize her like he asked his own wives and concubines. She is really a lady, how could she get into such a passionate fight with him so easily? a slapIf it doesn't ring, strictly speaking, it's not a good thing, so it doesn't matter!
Seeing that she didn't take the royal family seriously, Zhang Hanqing also opened his heart: "If I could sleep with the queen, I would be satisfied. In this society, it is impossible to be an emperor. The only way to find feelings is with the queen. "
The family members of the last king of the previous dynasty have always met a tragic end. For example, Zhao Kuangyi was the most awesome person in history, he just did it, and he insisted on painting "Xiling Xing Xiaozhou Queen Picture" and "Tasting Queen Picture" as commemorations, making the latter two one of the most famous erotic pictures in history. Is it similar to some indecent photos of later generations?
Of course, Zhang Hanqing will not go to this step. He has experienced the horror of the "pornographic photos scandal", and he does not have this bad taste yet. But successful men all pursue "getting drunk and lying on the lap of a beautiful woman". If he gets the most difficult and noble queen in the world, he will be the most successful man, right?
Tang Yiying became interested: "So you still have the Queen's idea!"
Now that Zhang Hanqing has let go, he will no longer hold it. Besides, with Tang Yiying taking the lead, he may be able to fulfill his long-cherished wish: "Which man in the world has not thought of this idea? It's just that what they dream of is to have the power of the emperor, and I just want to sleep with the queen and have the pleasure of the emperor."
Didn’t he have sex addiction? There was no emperor after the Republic of China, and the chance of replacing him was lost on the land of China. However, it was still feasible to replace the emperor's body with a queen.
The last queen of China! It's exciting just thinking about it.
As he spoke, Zhang Hanqing was really excited, which made Tang Yiying exclaim: "When it comes to the Queen, you are so energetic all of a sudden!"
"If the queen really comes, I will be even stronger!" Zhang Hanqing said happily while excited.
"If you think about it, no one will dare to stop you. Then the emperor will have to send the queen to your house! Everyone knows that you want him to be the emperor, and he is the emperor. If you want him to get out, He is nothing!" Unexpectedly, she would joke so maliciously.
It’s true, but is it necessary to say it so crudely? After all, the queen and you are still sisters-in-law! She is indeed a complete bastard. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 769 Conspiracy in the Boudoir
To say that Tang Yiying has no feelings for the royal family at all. If this is true for the husband, let alone the husband’s family?
Probably annoyed by their dream of restoration, which was obviously a castle in the air, she quickly approached Zhang Hanqing, just to leave a way out for the future: Zhang Xun's restoration almost wiped out the last hope of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the government of the Republic of China |The government has been arguing for a long time over whether to retain the 4 million yuan in preferential treatment.
Now eight more years have passed, and the group of people who had this idea are dead and cold. Except for the few old masters around the emperor, no one has any more delusions. If something happens again, Tang Yiying will never accompany them to meet their ancestors.
It’s great to follow the young marshal. It’s one thing to meet your physical needs. The key is that the road is easy to walk! After her passionate fight with the young marshal, under his suggestion, she bought shares in Bank of Communications using both public and private funds, making a huge profit. Later, through Zhang Hanqing's relationship, he bought a house in the Yuanbi Concession in Tianjin, and the price doubled.
The young marshal's ability to reciprocate love was not simple. After a month, he seemed to be her little benefactor. Therefore, meeting Zhang Hanqing's needs has become her first priority. In her, the greed of capitalists is clearly visible. The young marshal likes the queen. If I can work hard to make it happen, he may have something to thank me for!
There is another one. Her relationship with the young marshal was spread to the emperor through the mouths of some people. It is said that Puyi initially disagreed with Pujie's departure to Shenyang. It is said that she was afraid that the young marshal would send someone to plot against him!
Is that so? If the young commander wants a woman, he won't use such extreme methods, right? Based on her understanding of Pu Jie, even if he caught her in bed, he could only watch, and then he wouldn't even say anything harsh to her! The Aixinjueluo family no longer has the vigor they had when they entered the customs two hundred years ago. They have collapsed psychologically and physically!
After the restoration that year, Zhang Xun banned his relatives from participating in politics, which aroused the anger of the princes. Because Prince Gong Puwei did not receive the notice to participate in the restoration cause, he ran from Tianjin to Beijing to question Zhang Xun and denounced his crime of being monopolistic. During the quarrel, Zhang Xun got angry and got up and slapped Pu Wei several times, which became a joke for a while.
Pu Wei did not dare to say anything in the end. Pulling off the layer of cloth for the royal family is actually just that, they are even more spineless than ordinary people!
When they were making out again, she said bravely on her own: "I can ask the queen out. If you have the ability, you can do anything. But you have to help me get the land by the Liuxi Bridge!"
This woman has gotten a lot of benefits out of her own hands, right? But since my family fortune is so big, there’s nothing wrong with spending a little bit of money. What are you doing to make so much money? The Belgian concession in Tianjin was already deserted. She spent a lot of her savings to buy a house at her own instigation. It was also to promote her own development plan. There must be some benefits to the first one to eat the crab, right? Zhang Hanqing did not pretend to be a public servant for personal gain!
As for the land she wanted, it was the original territory of Prince Chun's Mansion, and she was currently in a lawsuit with a group of original tenants. Seeing the palace gradually decline, some smart people came up with the idea of ??embezzling its property. Anyway, the current general public opinion is not optimistic about the Manchu nobles. Under Zhang Hanqing's "interrogation", the court may be inclined to the palace and regard Tang Yiying as the owner.
That’s all that can be done to help. As for how she and her father-in-law will fight for this land, it’s a matter of opinion.
However, Tang Yiying did not feel the slightest bit guilty about all the unethical and unsightly thoughts she proposed. Instead, she became jealous of Zhang Hanqing's "loving the new and hating the old". As soon as Zhang Hanqing agreed to her request, she became dissatisfied: "I really can't understand the dirty thoughts of you men. Wanrong is more beautiful but not exaggerated to that extent? She is a queen. Is it possible that she is also covered with gold? of?"
Zhang Hanqing is sometimes speechless. As the saying goes, he has to finish the sex with tears in his eyes. He only got into her bed for a moment of pleasure and to experience the darkness of traditional aristocratic skills in bed, but he didn't expect that she was such a slut lacking depth. If he hadn't still been obsessed with her promise that he might date the Queen, he would have wanted to break up and end the relationship.
The above-mentioned benefits are considered “gun money”.
However, what was unexpected was that Tang Yiying really had a way to do what she said. Under her clever words, Puyi really had the idea of ??letting the queen go out to socialize.
??According to what Tang Yiying said, if you want to restore your country, you must increase your influence. In this era, the way to increase your influence is to communicate and build relationships with all kinds of people. Only when people are interested in you can you gain a certain degree of popularity and your words be listened to.
That’s right. I remember that on the third day of their wedding, Puyi and the queen were together in Dongnuang Pavilion to receive congratulatory gifts from the envoys of various countries stationed in China. This was her first public appearance as the queen.
That time, she wore a Manchu-style "two hairs" and a tall crotchThe bun was decorated with velvet flowers, and the yellow satin brocade cheongsam made her graceful figure extremely beautiful. Her youthful vitality rushed to her face, making the well-informed foreign envoys and wives all marvel at her. Beautiful face and elegant demeanor.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT off out of space and space, all newspapers at the time were scrambling to make vivid live reports. It was an unprecedented event.
In less than three years, the influence of the royal family has declined sharply. People's curiosity about their words and deeds has changed. He is no longer the king of a country who often appears in newspapers. In private, everything is negative. information. Especially after Feng Yuxiang almost kicked him out of the Forbidden City, the status of the royal family plummeted.
What Feng Yuxiang did was to tear down the last fig leaf of the royal family's dignity. Although he failed to personally complete the task of "abolition of the Qing Emperor", his final blow was to let the Beiyang government bring the royal family's generous living conditions from heaven to earth.
Because after this incident, everyone is suddenly thinking about the royal family’s annual 4 million yuan in preferential payments. Officers and soldiers who had been kicked out of the military and the National Army, which lacked financial support, came to the palace from time to time to cause trouble. As a result, Wang Geng, the acting chief of the Beijing Police Department, had to dispatch a security brigade to the palace.
Due to the serious lack of money for national construction, such a large amount of expenditure has naturally fallen into Zhang Hanqing's eyes. Taking this opportunity, the Beijing government decided to stop paying this preferential treatment.
For this decision, the Feng clique (mainly the People's Party clique), the Shanxi clique, the Anhui clique, and the Kuomintang clique rarely agreed. In addition, Sun Yat-sen once personally answered the Qing Dynasty's questioning about the outside world's suspicion that he violated the preferential treatment conditions of the Qing Dynasty: "The conditions for preferential treatment of the Qing Dynasty originally stated that after the Qing emperor abdicated, he 'temporarily lived in the Forbidden City and later moved to the Summer Palace.' But Xiao The imperial court had lived in the Forbidden City for 13 years and had no intention of moving;
Second, the small imperial court had participated in Zhang Xun's restoration and had overturned the premise of preferential treatment conditions. Even though he argued that he was coerced by Zhang Xun, the posthumous title of "Zhongwu" was given to him by the small court after Zhang Xun's death, which shows how hypocritical this excuse is! Should the government of the Republic of China be allowed to support such a deposed imperial court that is constantly plotting evil intentions to fund its rebellion? "
This decision suddenly knocked down the clan members who still fantasized about being attached to the royal family for the final battle against the trapped beast, and also gave the last emperor Puyi a strong sense of crisis. Fortunately, at the last moment, Zhang Hanqing suspended the motion to expel him from the Forbidden City.
It’s time to make some changes. At least Pujie's life circle is much larger than his, so much so that his wife Tang Yiying, the flag girl who almost became his queen, is said to be very popular in the Beijing and Tianjin areas. Let the queen follow her, firstly, for safety, Second, we can take the opportunity to take root quickly.
Madam is diplomatic!
Then the longing-looking empress couldn't hold back the joy in her heart and prepared to leave the palace like a swallow escaping from its cage. Although the emperor made repeated appointments: she was not allowed to linger outside social gatherings, she must return to the palace every day, and she must act in the presence of several palace maids and It was carried out under the supervision of the mammy, and of course there was a more important need to take care of royal dignity.
Needless to say, Wanrong also knew what it meant, but she couldn't care less.
????????????????????????????????????? She and Emperor Puyi indeed lived a happy and happy life, not only because Wanrong was the most beautiful woman among the bannermen, but also because she was a woman who had received a Western school education.
"Compared with the bowing eunuchs and pedantic and conservative masters around her, she was not only a breath of fresh wind and a ray of warm sunshine, but also a mentor who helped Puyi avoid the dull and gray palace life. What's more, the ladies of the Republic of China were proud of advocating fashion, so after marriage, she often taught Puyi to learn English and eat Western food, which appealed to Puyi because he was also interested in Western culture.
Her innocence, beauty, tenderness and liveliness brought him a lot of happiness, and her erudition made him regard her as a confidant.
But after the novelty wore off, the boring, lonely, boring life day after day made her suffocated and depressed. Fine clothes and fine food cannot replace the pleasure of bed, or is drinking warm food and thinking about lust more appropriate? Moreover, Puyi's extremely selfish and suspicious character gradually emerged when the influence of the royal family gradually ebbed, which troubled her even more.
Once Hou Men entered the sea, she finally understood the true meaning of this poem after their marriage. It doesn't matter, just go out and relax, it's better than being in that cage-like deep palace compound.
The Queen’s joining made several major social venues in Beijing where celebrities and socialites gathered became extremely popular. Especially wherever Wanrong went, people from all walks of life were proud to see her. The Qing Dynasty had only been overthrown for more than ten years, but the influence of the royal family was still considerable, not to mention that this was a young and incredibly beautiful queen?
Liuguo Hotel, Beijing’s first-class social venue, has left the scent of Queen Wanrong ever since.
This is a state within a state jointly funded by the six major powers: Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Japan, and Russia. Because it is located in the embassy district of Minxiang in the east suburbs, according to the Xinchou Treaty stipulated that "the boundaries of each embassy are considered exclusive." It is managed by the embassy alone. Chinese citizens are not allowed to live in the boundary and can also defend themselves." The security is all handled by foreign military police.
During the period of China's warlord struggle, many frustrated political and military minds took refuge here, so it was not under the control of the People's Party like other places. There are many currents of thought here, and foreigners are happy to cultivate their own agents to control public opinion, so you can hear a lot of information that is not available outside.
But how much effect it can have needs to be discussed further.

Chapter 770 Destiny
Those who were close to the Queen included the family members of the envoys stationed in China and celebrities from all walks of life. After lingering for several days, wherever she went, she was the center of attention and the object of curiosity, which made Queen Wanrong extremely disturbed.
It has been quiet for a few years, and suddenly put under the magnesium light, which is very uncomfortable. However, for the sake of my husband's great plans for the country, I can only hold back a persistent smile.
They exchanged glasses of wine and whispered softly. Tang Yiying and Wanrong were eating Western food in the restaurant.
Liuguo Hotel was the first in China to introduce a complete set of Western dining etiquette: how to stack napkins, how to use knives and forks, how not to make any noise when dining, and the most important one is the gentleman's rule of "ladies first". The Chinese people who came here seemed to have become "civilized" people overnight.
However, no matter how elegant their actions were, the few well-behaved nuns and palace maids standing behind them made everything look nondescript.
The crowd suddenly became commotion, and even Wanrong felt it. There was this kind of commotion when she first stepped here, but as time went by, the atmosphere became weaker and weaker-could it be another big shot?
It’s Zhang Hanqing! He walked gracefully and entered calmly accompanied by two middle-aged men in suits and ties. The whole audience stood up in awe, including several foreigners who were being polite. The reputation of the young marshal has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No one can ignore such a person who is actually in power in China.
Zhang Hanqing nodded in greeting, looking very easy-going. The group of people walked to the table next to Wan Rong, and Zhang Hanqing pointed casually: "That's it."
After greeting each other, they suddenly met Tang Yiying's eyes, and they smiled slyly at each other. This is the place they agreed to meet. Of course, the fake show must also be sung for real. Tang Yiying stood up to greet her, and Zhang Hanqing also responded gracefully.
When he turned to Wanrong, who was standing up, he pretended to be surprised, "Ah," he chuckled and said, "The Queen is here too! What a fate. Are you okay, the Queen?"
“Ahem, regarding the matter of chance encounters, as long as a man likes a woman, he will always create a fate!
For a moment, Wanrong's heart felt like waves in the sea. For more than two years, he openly teased her in the palace, causing her to fall out of the car and be filled with his warm fragrance. This scene was firmly imprinted in her heart. No man has held her since she was born, including her father and her nominal husband.
At the time, I was just shy, but it was only afterward that I realized: his hands were so strong and his smile was so unobtrusive.
Zhang Hanqing also has a very good feeling for her: She is the same age as Tang Yiying, but she is restrained and shy that Tang does not have. This is a woman who has been baptized by Chinese culture: reserved but not ostentatious, restrained and traditional. She was wearing a calm and elegant black cheongsam with gold trim, and her face was as dignified as ever. However, under the stunning appearance, a hint of complacency occasionally flashed between her eyebrows, revealing her mentality.
She really doesn’t like this kind of situation!
The same goes for Zhang Hanqing.
Communication is the interaction between people in need, whether actual or potential. If it wasn't to get close to Wanrong, he wouldn't like to come to such a place.
It’s okay to negotiate with others here for industrial and commercial trade; it’s okay to exchange opinions with other countries here for diplomatic needs. At other times, Zhang Hanqing would rather stay in the army, at the grassroots level, or even at the election site for members of Congress. Because he put so much effort into "hooking up" with Wanrong, he didn't even bother to take care of the electoral activities that seemed to be important to the country.
Of course, the Organization Department and Propaganda Department of the People's Party are working hard to support candidates who are close to the People's Party. This is one reason why he does not need to come forward for these matters. In the future, China will elect members who meet the needs of voters like Europe and the United States. Even the candidates of the People's Party must have two brushes of their own. How can they play with the "separation of powers" when they have already taken care of everything!
Wanrong was a little overwhelmed by Zhang Hanqing's sudden evil smile that seemed to be the same as before. In her memory, there had never been a man who broke into her life so casually, especially after she became a queen. Everyone she met looked tense and frightened.
"The four words "mother's love for the world" are not said in vain. Since entering the palace, she has been taught in every possible way not to let the courtiers at home and abroad underestimate the royal bearing and not to lose the royal style.
It’s just that tolerance is determined by strength rather than cultivation. Nowadays, the statues of gods that were originally worshiped by the royal family are thrown into the toilet. No matter how they are washed later, they will not show their sanctity However, those pedantic masters stubbornly believe that the people of the world are still loyal to the royal family, but the conditions do not allow it. The time is not ripe…
No matter how stubborn she is, no matter how empress she is, she still knows that the world now has nothing to do with the Qing Dynasty. If there is still any connection, it is that every yearOtherwise, how can you still be in the mood to pick up girls in front of everyone?
Not surprisingly, Wanrong was "invited" to sit in the middle by Zhang Hanqing and Tang Yiying. The reason was just like Zhang Hanqing said: "You are my most distinguished guest today." When he said this, Zhang Hanqing clearly felt Tang Yiying's sarcasm, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile, but he could not control her at this time.
Once again staying close to Zhang Hanqing, Wanrong started to feel very reserved. If the last encounter in the palace was just an accident, and watching a movie with other men this time - even if someone is accompanying you, will your status as a queen be a bit awkward? What do others think? What would Puyi think?
Fortunately, Tang Yiying, a caring person, was there to make things difficult, and slowly she began to let go of the grudge in her heart.
At this time, Wanrong's servants were all far away, and only Tang Yiying was waiting on her in the entire box. After Zhang Hanqing and Wanrong sat down side by side, the movie started. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 771 Picking up the Queen
Needless to say, the movies of that era were all in black and white and rarely had dubbing, so they were commonly known as silent movies. In this way, Wanrong and Tang Yiying still watched with gusto, only suffering from the bored Zhang Hanqing. I wanted to do something small to enhance friendship while watching a movie, but today's movie was too inappropriate.
It turns out to be a movie that focuses on a tragic drama, called "The Blind Orphan". It tells the story of a girl who is blinded by her stepmother's abuse and social oppression. Of course, there are repetitions in the plot, and the ending is naturally twists and turns.
" This kind of extremely vulgar film will naturally have no interest in future generations of Zhang Hanqing: no matter the plot, film techniques, or effects, they are far incomparable with later generations.
His interest lies in Wanrong.
With such a simple and old-fashioned story, Wanrong burst into tears. Even Tang Yiying was later affected, and she joined in the joys and sorrows of the people in the play. Zhang Hanqing handed over a handkerchief to express his hospitality, looking at Wanrong's pear blossoms with rain, he wished he could caress her.
It should be said that Wanrong is also one of the caring people. One year after her wedding, she donated 600 yuan to Beijing's "Temporary Wo Wo Tou Club" to provide relief to the victims, and was praised by all walks of life;
Later, in the official history of 1931, when abnormal weather caused a nationwide flood that caused "all the rivers and rivers from south to north to Guangdong to overflow", Wanrong, who had been out of the palace for a long time, immediately donated her pearl necklace and ocean; ocean;
In the midsummer of the same year, serious floods occurred in several provinces on both sides of the Yangtze River. At that time, Puyi donated a building and Wanrong donated a string of pearls to sell to the victims. This incident caused a sensation in the society. Newspapers in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai published photos of the "Queen" and the string of pearls. "Ta Kung Pao" even made a special report titled "Mrs. Pu Haoran Donates Pearls for Disaster Disaster" .
Since ancient times, beauties have had a bad fate. Why did such a kind-hearted beauty suffer such an unfortunate fate in official history? Smoking, having an affair with a guard and giving birth to a child, going crazy, and dying of illness. I really didn't expect that all kinds of unbelievable things would happen to her. It was only because of fate that they met so late. With Zhang Hanqing here, he felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to rescue her no matter what!
By the light of the screen, Zhang Hanqing carefully looked at the last queen.
The tight-fitting cheongsam silently explained the beauty of her curves. Under the high bun was a pair of bright moon feathers, hanging next to her pink face like a silver basin. As a poem says, "Women are like flowers, just like the nobility and elegance that comes easily, blooming in the camellia petals of simple earrings." As she sobbed weakly, a trace of white pink neck was revealed.
Although she occasionally sheds tears, her figure is still upright, making people feel inviolable. However, her gentleness makes people feel that she does not seem to be the domineering empress in her imagination. As expected, it is "as elegant as a startled dragon, as graceful as a swimming dragon".
Originally, Wanrong was a little uncomfortable with the man Zhang Hanqing by her side at first, but when the plot entered and Wanrong saw it deeply, she couldn't help but wipe her tears, and she didn't realize who was next to her. In normal times, there would naturally be servants who would offer him the gift with a wink, so naturally Zhang Hanqing plays this role here.
At first Wanrong was very embarrassed, but as Zhang Hanqing kept serving him in a gentlemanly manner, she gradually didn't care and concentrated on watching her movie.
The good guys are so good that people sigh, and the bad guys are so bad that people grit their teeth. This is the charm of the movie. Wanrong was completely trapped. When Tang Yiying left gently, she didn't even notice what gesture she made to Zhang Hanqing. As a new round of tragedy unfolded, she couldn't help crying.
At this time, the difference between the aristocrats and the nouveau riche is clearly revealed: even if she is sad, her graceful face only moves slightly, letting her tears fall while her figure is dignified.
At this time, Zhang Hanqing's strong arms finally waited for the opportunity, leaned over gently, and slowly put their arms around her shoulders.
Wanrong suddenly felt uncomfortable. The moment Zhang Hanqing's fox tail was exposed, she became somewhat sober. Men and women should not be intimate with each other. This was the education she had received since childhood, and now that she was a queen, she did not allow herself to be blasphemed in the slightest. She quietly moved a little to the side——When did Tang Yiying, this girl, no longer exist? It's not a problem for a man and a woman to be alone in this box!
But the young marshal next to her seemed to be so fascinated that he didn't notice her movements at all. His eyes were fixed on the screen, and his body followed her naturally. This made Wanrong afraid to move too obviously. It would be embarrassing if she moved too much and woke up the young commander!
But it was not possible without waking him up. After a while, he was already leaning on the pillow on the right side, and the young marshal was leaning beside him at a 45-degree angle. He is really fascinated. I wonder if this posture is tiring? If someone looks from their backs, it looks like a young couple cuddling intimately.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Can hide!
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing didn't do anything again this time. Maybe he wanted to show the dignity of a superior in front of the driver. He just chatted with her from time to time. The young commander's sea blowing from all over the world made her feel novel and a little yearning for her, who had been in the palace for a long time. She temporarily suppressed her discomfort: she really wanted to breathe the free air outside.
So, Zhang Hanqing made an appointment with her: Tomorrow morning, he would go to the National Assembly to cut the ribbon on the newly completed National Assembly Building and announce the start of the first parliamentary election of the New Republic of China. He said that the reason why he chose her was because this was the first election in a strict sense after the Qing emperor abdicated. The Queen's attendance gave her the bonus of "saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new".
With such a big event, the emperor should still let himself come out, right? Somehow, she felt like she was enjoying life outside. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 772 When a Scholar Meets a Soldier
The sun has set for a long time, and Emperor Puyi is still sitting next to the tables in the Yangxin Hall, with a livid face. Eunuchs who know the emperor's habits all know that this is the rhythm of anger.
This is the first time since the queen left the palace that she has not returned so late. According to the old regulations, the palace will be locked at this time. For hundreds of years, as long as the palace door is locked, no one can open the palace door without the joint decree of the emperor and the ministers leading the bodyguard. However, during the Republic of China, this charter disappeared.
In extraordinary times and troubled times, keep everything simple.
Although he married this queen just for decoration, she is his queen after all and represents the dignity of the royal family. This time, returning late beyond the rules is a great offense to both the king's authority and the husband's authority. No one in the small court takes it seriously anymore, and this trend cannot spread to the palace
Outside the Shenwu Gate, Zhu Guangmu was ordered to escort Wanrong into the palace. Go in from here and go straight to the Royal Garden, which is the backyard of the palace.
Wanrong is still immersed in the feeling of uneasiness. Just now, she sat in the back seat with Zhang Hanqing in the car and spent more than half an awkward hour. It was just that the local people were timid, and on the dark side of Jingshan Mountain, she realized that it had been so long since she left the palace!
Although Concubine Jin, who had the most status in the palace, passed away last year and she was now the most powerful one in theory, she felt unsure when she thought of the gloomy and unstable emperor. Should he be angry?
When the maids helped Wanrong up the steps, an old eunuch ran over panting: "Oh my mistress, why are you back so late! The emperor was so impatient that he even asked several adults to look for you! He’s getting angry right now, so you have to be careful!”
Zhu Guangmu, who had already completed the task, felt something in his heart. He stopped Zhang Zongchang and his guards from leaving: "It's the queen who was personally entertained by the young marshal. The emperor is showing off to whoever!"
As a long-term adjutant, it would be an insult to his ability to say that he didn't know Zhang Hanqing's thoughts. The person in power is interesting. As his "general manager", he must find ways to satisfy him, otherwise he will be derelict in his duties. Otherwise, why should we say that the leader’s secretary must not be the leader’s secretary unless he is a close person to the leader?
Zhang Zongchang chuckled. With nothing to do in Beijing, he is now regarded as Zhang Hanqing's loyal "lackey". Based on his thoughts, the young marshal did not forget to ask Wanrong to come out at such an important time for the congressional election. He spent a whole day without saying anything and diligently sent her back in person. If he had no calculations, no one would believe it.
Right now, he is still waiting in the car outside the palace.
When the queen needed to be emboldened, he never hesitated.
Wanrong entered the Yangxin Palace step by step with an uneasy mood. The eunuch had already reported to Puyi: "Long live my Lord, the Queen is back!"
With a "clang", Puyi broke the tea cup: "You still know how to come back?!"
He roared: "We have said that the mother should honor the world, and the queen should behave like a queen! Is this how you set an example to the people of the world? How could you leave the palace so easily at that time! What's wrong with being so happy to miss Shu? Look! Don’t you dare go out again tomorrow!”
Wanrong was at a loss and kept her head down. She was about to apologize to Puyi when she heard a domineering voice from outside: "You are just a young man who drank a cup of coffee and watched a movie with your concubine. You just have something to say, who are you going to slap in the face?" !”
Pu Yi's face changed greatly, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Who is outside? You are all dead, why did you let outsiders break in without permission!" The eunuchs hurriedly knelt down together, but they did not dare to say anything.
The palace door opened wide, and Zhang Zongchang and Zhu Guangmu burst into the palace, followed by a row of fully armed guards.
After all, Zhu Guangmu is a cultural person, and his words are sonorous and powerful: "I am Zhu Guangmu, director of the General Office of the Central Committee of the People's Party of the Republic of China. I am not an outsider, but the owner of this place! What? Do you think this Forbidden City belongs to your family? Now the Republic of China is ten It’s been four years, and you still think we’re still in the Qing Dynasty? If it hadn’t been for the young commander’s objections, you wouldn’t even have a place to stay now!”
Puyi was shocked, angry and angry: "Teach the queen a lesson, this is my royal family's private matter, you, you, you, how can you be unreasonable!"
Zhu Guangmu had been with Zhang Hanqing for a long time and knew that the young marshal was interested in driving the deposed emperor out of the palace, so he knew how to deal with him and was very domineering in his language: "According to the young marshal's order, tomorrow I will respectfully invite the queen to go to the Congress to cut the ribbon. There is no time for election mobilization, so national affairs are currently in progress, so you must put your home aside beforehand!"
Puyi was trembling with anger, but there was nothing he could do. Wanrong's face was full of horror. After something like this happened, how could I go against the emperor's wishes again? But if he didn't go and thus offended the young commander, wouldn't the result be that the emperor would suffer? She looked at the always majestic emperor in surprise - at least in her heart, she was waiting for him to make up his mind.
Unquenchable anger began to fill his brain, and Puyi had a rare outburst: "The Republic of China treated the emperor favorably."?The first condition is that ‘the Republic of China will treat each other with the same courtesy as it treats the monarchs of other countries’. How dare you be so presumptuous! I'm going to the newspaper office to file a complaint against you! "
Zhang Zongchang is not a master who plays his cards according to common sense. The dignity of the emperor and the influence of the emperor's resignation are not as important to him as a finger of the young marshal. He is too lazy to talk to him and directly waves his hand:
"Mom's toast is not a penalty! I will directly lead the troops to tutu all of you! I don't know who wants to be treated preferentially! Tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the morning, I will bring someone back on time, and let the queen be dressed up by then. Waiting neatly!
???????????????????????????????????????????????? If you, the emperor, get out tomorrow, and those old things who are still dreaming of being high-ranking officials in the Qing Dynasty, your brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters will have their homes ransacked and beheaded together! I just want to ask you, will the queen go tomorrow or not? "
He was talking about the old ladies and gentlemen who surrounded Puyi, and the others were princes and old ministers. After the Qing Dynasty abdicated, in accordance with the preferential treatment conditions of the royal family, they all retained their original titles, mansions, and manors. Except for their lack of power, everything else was retained. Although Zhang Zongchang doesn't understand these things, there are always raids and executions in the play. The emperor seems to be a little restless, but the people around him are not afraid of disobeying orders!
" Facing this rough man, there is nothing you can do to become rich and educated. If those Four Classics and Five Books can persuade Zhang Zongchang, the Qing Dynasty will not be so quick to play around. There was Feng Yuxiang back then, and there is Zhang Zongchang today. Neither of them are reasonable people. Just like before, the elders all trembled and pointed at Zhang Zongchang's head, not knowing whether they were angry or frightened.
Puyi was also trembling all over, and he didn't know whether he was angry or frightened. An embarrassing few seconds, right? He trembled and nodded: "Go! Go!"
Not for his own sake, Zhang Zongchang was also a bachelor and left with others. Before leaving, he did not forget to salute Wanrong with a military salute: "Empress, I will personally come to pick you up tomorrow morning!" He also warned Puyi: "Empress will attend tomorrow morning. On an important occasion, if there is anything wrong in the slightest, you won't be able to live with it!" He is also rough and subtle, and he is afraid that Wanrong will be wronged at a moment's notice, which does not look good to the young marshal.
Unconsciously, he had regarded Zhang Hanqing as his biggest benefactor, so he became rare and delicate.
There was silence in the palace, and the young eunuchs and maids left wisely, leaving only the still-furious emperor and the bewildered queen.
History books say that the life of the last emperor was difficult, but now they have all seen it. Helpless Pu Yi launched a raging fire at the queen: "What on earth do you wantthat little bandit from Fengtian? How can there be such a sycophant with no father and no king in our Qing Dynasty?" Zhang Zuolin has changed "Fengtian" to "Fengtian" "Liaoning", the little emperor didn't approve of it, and maybe he didn't know it either.
His words were incomprehensible. This was the most angry and aggrieved time for the emperor in the past few years. Even when they were kicked out of the palace by Lu Zhonglin and others, they only acted in accordance with the "conditions". It was originally decided that the emperor's family would move out of the palace and live in the Summer Palace. However, he was unable to stop his wife from making reservations in front of him. This matter spread out and greatly damaged the royal family's face.
??????? Ancestors, why have I been subjected to such humiliation? !
It is a shame for a king to humiliate his ministers, and for a husband to humiliate his wife. Wanrong walked towards Puyi with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Majesty feels humiliated, and I will not go with them even if I risk my life!" Confucian scholars often say that a king dies for his country, and a martyr woman dies for her chastity. but. The Qing emperor would rather abdicate than imitate the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen, and hang himself on Meishan. Is there something lacking in character?
Puyi suddenly became furious. He pushed Wanrong away and said angrily: "Death? You said it lightly! If you offend these people, our Aisin Gioro family might all die without a trace! What kind of restoration, what the hell!" The great cause has all come to nothing!”
Wanrong was very sad: "Then your majesty, are you going to let me go or not?" The hope of national rejuvenation must be borne by a weak woman, and this weak emperor still wants her to bear the humiliation and bear the burden. How ridiculous, but how pathetic!
Pu Yi looked at her and suddenly sneered: "You don't have to act in front of me! Ever since you left the palace happily, I knew that you were not willing to stay in this deep palace compound. You guys are playing so late. , you must be very happy? That young marshal is young, has status and power, it is natural for you to want to rely on him. Otherwise, how could they be so fierce to me, the emperor, but respect and give in to you!"
Wanrong raised her head and looked at Puyi in disbelief. This once powerful emperor and her husband actually said this to her? Humiliated and angry, she slowly took two steps back and stared at Pu Yi, with tears streaming down her cheeks: "Your Majesty! If you don't believe in my innocence, I will prove it to you tonight."
She took off her clothes one by one, and the falling clothes scattered like flowers from a goddess, revealing a smooth and white body. Facing her husband, she was still angry and shy: "My innocence can only be proven by the sun!"
Puyi wanted to stop it, but didn't know what to say. He didn't express anything to such a beautiful woman, and just said lightly: "I'm tired, I want to take a rest." Then, he left the Yangxin Hall without looking back. The moment he left, he said softly : "Dress up better tomorrow and don't delay any ribbon-cutting!"
In the quiet hall, only a very seductive and moving body was left. Under the light, Wanrong clenched her teeth, and two lines of hot tears rolled down her eyes.

Chapter 773 Like Xie An’s Story
When the elegantly dressed Queen Wanrong boarded Zhang Hanqing's car as promised, Zhang Hanqing's eyes still lit up, even though he had seen her beauty yesterday. Today's Wanrong is dressed differently from yesterday, looking particularly dignified.
The queen’s mother’s etiquette is the most complicated aspect of the world. Even though she is the last generation, Wanrong still fulfills her duty and always looks elegant and ladylike when she goes out.
Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but take a few more glances. Upon closer inspection, he was still keenly aware of the vague puffiness of her eye circles, and a trace of tiredness also appeared from time to time, even though she tried to cover it up carefully.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" he asked with concern. He already knew roughly what happened in the palace last night. Of course, as the initiator, he would not be stupid enough to ask for details, but the necessary "care" still needs to be expressed.
Wanrong shook her head gently, and the beads swayed on her high bun, emitting colorful light in the sun.
Zhang Hanqing smiled and commanded: "Drive!"
After more than a year of hard work, the new Capitol Building has been completed. This huge building located on the west side of Tiananmen Square contrasts with the Supreme People's Court building on the east side of Tiananmen Square, and together embodies the symbol of "separation of powers."
Of course, if Tiananmen is used as an administrative symbol, the legislative and judicial institutions are surrounding it on both sides. This is one of the reasons why some people with ulterior motives initially opposed its construction on the west side of Tiananmen and built it on the opposite side instead: to reflect the The relationship between administration and legislation is relative, not dependent.
But Zhang Hanqing insists that Zhongnanhai further to the west is the administrative center of China, and in fact this is the case. So, the Congress is located between Zhongnanhai and the court. Does this mean that the Congress is the highest authority of the Republic of China?
Whether it is or not, the current Congress is really just a "rubber stamp" institution.
After Cao Kun bribed the election, Congress, as the biggest accomplice, was questioned or denigrated as useless, so Duan Qirui's title of "ruling" came out. After the state system was changed to the "New Three Kingdoms", the political system also became a "Chinese Centralism" under the leadership of the People's Party | and the Congress lost its role.
Of course, this is temporary, mainly to give all parties time to prepare qualified members of parliament who can take on major national affairs. These candidate lists adopt the method recommended by Panzi, and are conducted by each province in the form of differential elections for provincial councils.
Of course, recommendation is a matter for the Provisional Presidium of the National Congress, which is also the meaning of Wu Junsheng's stay in the National Congress: a total of 117 members who did not participate in Cao Kun's election bribery formed the Provisional Presidium of the National Congress and were responsible for all legislative matters before the establishment of the new Congress. The nomination of senatorial candidates in each province and the selection of representatives from provincial legislators are all guided by this presidium.
Before the congressional election, provincial legislators must first be born, which is the source of the House of Representatives; the prerequisite for the introduction of provincial legislators is city councilors from various places, and then county councilors. Throughout 1925, members were elected everywhere. If it hadn't been for the May 30th Incident, the new Congress would have been established last year.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out out out of which will be a new parliament, and new members of Congress, will there be a new atmosphere?
When the heroic young marshal and the graceful queen came to the Congress in person, they received thunderous applause from the audience. Regardless of whether he is an enemy or a friend, the Young Marshal single-handedly created the new Congress and took the initiative to transfer state power to the legislative body. This open-mindedness is worthy of praise.
What is the queen doing here? A queen who was overthrown by the Republic of China.
“Perhaps she represents the royal family and comes to see with her own eyes the changes that have taken place since the Republic of China replaced the Qing Dynasty? But for this matter, it seems that it would be better for the more influential Emperor Xun to attend, right? After all, it marks the complete end of an era. Some people are thinking about getting higher and higher, and are speculating on Zhang Hanqing's intentions.
?Perhaps this is tolerance of the old dynasty and expresses some political meaning.
Reminiscent of the favorable treatment of the Manchu royal family at the beginning of the Republic of China, the young marshal's compassion for the last emperor: and the young marshal's previous opposition to the National Army's expulsion of Puyi from the Forbidden City. Some people thought: Could this be the young marshal's statement in public? After all, he made his fortune in the land of Longxing in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so it is possible that he has some old connections.
There are also people who maliciously speculate: Doesn’t the Young Marshal want to establish a constitutional monarchy? And then let a deposed queen come to Congress to gain sympathy?
There is no way, even if a great person coughs, someone will have ulterior motives. China's national conditions are like this and will not change in ten thousand years.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Zhang Hanqing just wants to be with the queen and be in the limelight to satisfy his desire for performance, okay?
Regarding this election, not only Zhang Zuolin, but also he himself did not have any most favorable predictions: the Fengtian clique’s territory is rock solid, and the administrative power is acting entirely in accordance with the guidance of the People’s Party. The great change of the People's Party has been completed, and there is no need to worry about the control of the military.There is no charge for traveling by car and boat, there are big red flowers for joining the army and retirement, and welcome and farewell ceremonies are held in various places. At the expense of settlement expenses and posthumous glory, if you are injured, you have the country to support you You really have no worries - as long as you have a little blood and A sense of honor. After receiving such treatment, can you still be a deserter on the battlefield? Everyone in the family will be humiliated!
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command quickly became unique. The Guards Division was comparable to the 27th Division after the bandit suppression battle. The key was that the officers and soldiers were full of enthusiasm. The positive and friendly atmosphere was something that even the veteran generals had not seen.
There were several major turning points in the growth of the Feng Clan. The most important one was about whether to dominate outside the Pass or to strategically advance into the Pass. Even Zhang Zuoxiang thought that "outside the Pass, he would become the king on his own." It was the young commander who overcame all opinions and had to focus Transfer within the customs is not allowed.
Under his urging, Qinhuangdao, Tangshan, and Tianjin became new driving forces for the economic development of the Feng Clan, forcing the top officials of the Feng Army to cherish these places. As a result, everyone began to look inside the pass, and then discovered a new world.
Even when the war between Zhili and Fengcheng was the fiercest and most severe, he never thought of giving up these places and took command. As a result, the morale of the army was greatly boosted and defeat was restored.
In fact, after the three-party anti-independence movement, he rarely led troops in person, but this did not affect the army's support for him. Perhaps, this is how a real general sits at the rear and deploys properly? With him around, the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line feel at ease.
The next step is how to properly capture the surrendered troops and generals from all walks of life.
Feng Clan had just taken over the central government, and he didn't know where to start from. How many elders who were active in the political arena of the Republic of China arranged arrangements tested his wisdom——Lao Zhang was Optimus Prime and didn't care, he was the one who handled the matter. . Whether the Feng Clan can gain a firm foothold, unlike other former Anhui and Zhili cliques that were short-lived and then retreated sadly, is probably the biggest concern of the surrendered troops and generals.
They are all big bosses, they are all newcomers, and they are all unstable in military morale. If the arrangement is not done properly, there is no guarantee that someone will cause chaos and cause trouble again; if the arrangement is done properly, there is no guarantee that it will happen again.
????????Many senior figures in the Feng faction, including Wu Junsheng, want to solve this matter once and for all: the big bosses will retreat to the second line, those who can submit will be kept or those who cannot, and strong guarantees will be used to resolve various unstable factors. This kind of news makes those who surrendered anxious. After all, no one wants to withdraw from the stage of history.
Then there is the young marshal. The strategies of "high officials and few soldiers" and "abolition of superintendents and reduction of troops" have calmed the hearts of the big bosses and cut off their hope of recovery - have all the soldiers been legally reduced? .
Internally, when Zhang Zongchang controlled the largest fleet in Shandong and the Navy, the young marshal went to Lu alone and used his tongue to successfully force him to hand over power, which made the senior officials who originally thought about using weapons again feel frustrated. Even though I was sweating, I couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of my heart. Who is Zhang Zongchang? He loves power as much as his life, but behaves like a sheep in front of him.
The same is true in politics. In Shanghai, he was calm and relaxed, with all kinds of pressures and complicated situations right under his nose. He was also able to make countless news with his Shanghai concubines. He lived a happy life despite jealousy, love and murder, and solved the affairs of the British and Japanese. Many people originally thought that he would fail in Shanghai, or at least his vitality would be severely damaged - foreigners are so Easy to get along with?
Now that the young marshal has come to Congress again, is he expressing his position again, which means that in the upcoming congressional election battle, the People's Party led by him can once again triumph? The People's Party and the People's Army can be invincible in the face of adversity. Today, after the People's Party and the People's Army have crushed countless opponents, will there be any surprises?
The young handsome girl is so soaked! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 774 Exposed
??
When the young and handsome Zhang Hanqing stood at the ribbon-cutting scene with the famous Queen Wanrong in China, all kinds of spotlights gathered over her.
Ribbon-cutting became popular in China in less than ten years in the United States, where it originated.
There is an interesting story: In 1912, a store was about to open in Vadimi Town, San Antonio, the United States. In order to prevent the influx of customers who heard the news from breaking into the store before the official opening, the store owner Wells gave the discount to customers. After the goods were swept away, I found a piece of cloth and tied it to the door. Unexpectedly, this temporary measure aroused the curiosity of people crowded outside the store, prompting them to want to squeeze into the store earlier.
It just so happened that the shop owner’s young daughter ran out of the shop with a puppy and accidentally dropped the cloth belt inside. People filed in, rushing to buy goods, and the business of the small shop was unimaginably booming.
The shop owner reflected on it and finally determined that his good luck was entirely caused by the cloth belt that his little daughter knocked down, so he followed the same pattern when several of his stores opened. Later, after people's continuous "refining and sublimation", it gradually became a ritual and slowly spread throughout the world.
As for using colorful ribbons instead of drab cloth ribbons, according to research, it was the one used by the Marshal during the inauguration ceremony of the Capitol Building. Because Zhang Hanqing proposed to use gold scissors for this ceremony, the Chinese name "ribbon cutting" was born.
At this time, it was still a new thing in China, so much so that the staff of the Congress had nervously prepared multiple ribbons of different lengths, and Marshal Wu, one of the ribbon-cutters, also nervously practiced scissors privately in Zhongnanhai for several days.
After the solemn national anthem sounded and the five-star red flag rose, Zhang Hanqing spoke on behalf of the government, and the next ceremony was the ribbon-cutting. Wanrong's heart was in her throat because on the way, Zhang Hanqing mentioned that he wanted her to be one of the ribbon-cutters. She was so nervous that she didn't even hear clearly the content of Zhang Hanqing's brief speech:
"Ladies and gentlemen, comrades and friends, today we gather together to warmly congratulate the inauguration of the new Congress Building. This building of extraordinary significance in the process of the Republic of China has been completed after one year and eight months of intense construction. Finally completed, it is the pride of the Congress, China, and all Chinese people who love cooking!
From then on, this institution that represents the Chinese people to exercise their right to be the masters of the country has a formal home; starting tomorrow, members of the first new Congress will begin to be solemnly elected across the country. At this sacred moment, I would like to express my warm congratulations!
To express our best wishes, we will ask Chairman Wu to be our main ribbon-cutting person. In addition, we are also honored to invite Empress Wanrong of the former Qing Dynasty. Her arrival is an important sign: China has officially moved from imperial power to democracy, and has been recognized by all walks of life in the old and new societies.
Now, please come to the stage to cut the ribbon! "
“Oh, so that’s what I meant by inviting the Queen. However, wouldn’t it be better to invite the emperor? Some people have said that it is only men on stage, which does not reflect the meaning of women being the masters of the country. The young marshal’s approach is of far-reaching significance!
You must know that Zhang Hanqing just thought that having a beautiful woman on stage would brighten the atmosphere. Will they vomit blood?
It was Zhang Hanqing’s intention to have Wu Junsheng as the guest of honor. As the chairman of the National Assembly, Wu Junsheng deserves to be in the middle; as a veteran of the Feng clan, he also deserves respect. When the young marshal and the queen stood beside Wu Junsheng, one on the left and one on the right, Old Wu was very excited.
Countless reporters shined their heads on the beautiful and luxurious Queen Wanrong, and the editors also used their best words to vividly describe this historic scene in the newspaper that night. However, most of the subjects were Wanrong, while Zhang Hanqing and Wu Junsheng Reduced to a supporting role.
"Empress Wanrong attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the Capitol Building",
"As graceful as a fairy and radiant, what is the significance of Queen Wanrong's return to politics?",
"The queen and the young marshal are competing in the same field, who is in charge?"
…
Each headline is more eye-catching than the last. You will have to wait until the newspaper comes out tomorrow to know all of this.
After her public appearance, Zhang Hanqing graciously invited Wanrong to play golf, which was a favorite among the upper class.
Wanrong was very embarrassed about the young marshal's invitation: she knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with her public appearance, and there was an official reason for attending the inauguration of the Capitol Building, but this was just a matter of fun in private, and people with ulterior motives could not make it public. In such a closed environment in the palace, the news about the crotch was spread most vigorously. It is better not to do anything that would harm the dignity of the royal family.
She said to Zhang Hanqing tactfully: "I appreciate the young marshal's kindness. It has been so long since I left the palace today, and the emperor has to wait impatiently."
Zhang HanTransformation.
But Wanrong would not allow him to say that. The emperor was her god. Zhang Hanqing's unsuccessful divorce made her strengthen her belief: "Young Marshal, I am the queen of His Majesty the Qing Dynasty. Please don't tell him in front of me." It's not good. The fall of the Qing Dynasty is not his responsibility. At this time, I should share the difficulties with him!"
Zhang Hanqing nodded: "Very good, I will slowly see how the emperor shares the difficulties with you. However, if the emperor violates serious national laws, do you also have to be buried with him?"
Wanrong was taken aback: "If you want to impose a crime on His Majesty for your own misdeeds, and you want to be disadvantageous to him, I will die with him even if I die! But, you, how could you do this? ?”
Zhang Hanqing shook his head: "Queen, although I like you very much, I will not fabricate charges to frame your husband for you. I want you to tell him that I have told him to listen to me a long time ago. Stop messing around now and live a good life with him." As his deposed emperor, at least he can live a leisurely life in this life. But what about him? He is doing some small tricks in private, and in order to confuse me, he can even give you away!"?

Chapter 775 A Romance
??
The words were explicit and hurtful, but they were true.
Zhang Hanqing is romantic but not obscene, and advocates consensual relations between men and women. Even the affair with Huang Wanqing's cousin Huang Ruqing was initiated by Huang Ruqing. Although there was an element of taking advantage of others, after all, the reason why men and women are together must have a story behind it, whether it is sex, love or profit. It cannot be generalized.
The queen is a beauty, but Zhang Hanqing has many beauties around him. In terms of docile temperament, Huang Wanqing, Yu Yifan and even Gu Ruiyu are all. The reason why she is like a fly staring at carrion is just because she is a queen, unique in the world.
"It's not surprising to seduce a woman. It's interesting to seduce the queen. That's the glory of a lifetime." All men understand the psychology of seeking novelty.
During the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di snatched the throne from his nephew, and some elders went against him. As a result, Zhu Di killed the men and exiled them, and sold the women as official slaves. It was actually a brothel.
Ordinarily, according to the spirit of that era, the female relatives of these families can be regarded as the descendants of loyal people, and they should be taken care of properly, right? But when the news came, the brothel was bustling. It’s not about how beautiful they are, but that for a small price, you can get the wives and daughters of dignitaries that you can’t even think of. How is this something worth remembering for a lifetime? As for being loyal and conscientious, screw it!
Zhang Hanqing also had the same idea at this time: the best way to bring the Qing Dynasty to its knees was to overthrow its emperor and sleep with its queen! So although it is vulgar, it is a true portrayal of his heart. Traveling through time is already amazing. Being able to do something that all men want to do, but can only think about, is the most amazing and truly interesting thing.
Wanrong couldn't tolerate him saying that. Whether she is a woman influenced by the tradition of three obediences and four virtues, or a new woman of the Republic of China with an independent personality, she has her own dignity and cannot be trampled by Zhang Hanqing. She suddenly raised her head and said bravely: "Your Majesty is a good emperor, I will not allow you to insult him like this! I know that you have the power over the world, and I also know that you are willing to take life and death, so what? The king of the subjugated country is only destined to die!"
She has traditional virtues and modern awakening, at least the awakening of personality. Zhang Hanqing insulted Puyi, which was also an insult to her. At this moment, her heart was extremely strong.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Little pepper, I like it!
Although Zhang Hanqing was stung, he was elated. If Wanrong had obeyed, he would not have had the joy of conquest, and it would not be worth his time to do these things.
He changed his face and said: "Queen, why do you think so? If I really wanted to do this, I would not have risked a war with Feng Yuxiang and others to stop them from expelling the emperor from the palace! The Republic of China treated the emperor with preferential conditions, I will abide by them all, but if Emperor Xun fails to abide by the conditions in the first place, no one can blame me. Of course, no matter what, I will keep you safe and your people from being implicated!"
Wanrong’s heart was once again full of contradictions. When she mentioned her tribe, she felt that she was not living alone
In this atmosphere, it is naturally inappropriate to have romantic affairs. Anyway, the words have been said, as long as the queen feels a little confused, the purpose will be achieved. Zhang Hanqing arranged for Wanrong to return to the palace very gentlemanly, but the moment she got on the car, he said behind Wanrong's ear: "I will ask you out again tomorrow, don't embarrass the emperor!"
After sending Wanrong away, Zhang Hanqing could not calm down to work all afternoon. In front of him, he always saw the queen's tall figure, her pretty face like a silver basin and her moving eyes. He was trying hard to figure out how to seduce her step by step, and then happily be the emperor for the night, and he was so excited about it.
Needing comfort from a woman, Yu Yifan happened to feel uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to go to Huang Wanqing at the former Commander's Mansion in Beijing to find relief. Both of them are fair and slender like the queen, unlike Feng Zhi, whose figure has changed a bit after giving birth to four children
It was already dark when we arrived at Shuai Mansion via a familiar road. After fooling around with Tang Yiying for a month, Zhang Hanqing only came here once in a while. A little ashamed, Zhang Hanqing tiptoed open the bedroom door, wanting to surprise Huang Wanqing.
The lights were turned off in the room, and there was only the vague shadow of someone lying on the bed. Judging from his breathing, he was still not asleep.
Such a lonely woman made Zhang Hanqing feel guilty for a moment. If you only know that you are looking for flowers and willows, how can you understand the melancholy of the person next to you? It's so boring to go to bed so early! He walked over gently, lay down beside the bed and hugged her head and chest from behind: "Wanqing."
Hearing his voice, Huang Wanqing trembled, as if she wanted to get up, but also as if she wanted to get rid of his hands. However, as an experienced Zhang Hanqing, he would not let go of her struggle. Instead, he added to the mood: he liked the feeling of Huang Wanqing's voluptuous bouquet. One-hand grasp is the magnanimity of a man. He grabbed her arm with his other hand: her arm was so soft.The other one was picked up from the bottom and had direct, unobstructed contact. Huang Wanqing was only used to wearing loose and loose pajamas when sleeping, so there was no restriction on his visit. But when I got to the front, I found that I was being strangled. At this time, bras were already very popular, especially among the female relatives of the middle and upper classes who had reasonable conditions.
While trying hard to buy the bottom, when he failed, he simply pushed the cover up and said softly: "I told you not to tighten your breasts when sleeping, as it will affect your sleep."
Ignoring her struggles, Zhang Hanqing grabbed the two freed elastic buns and played with them wantonly. Huang Wanqing moaned "Oh" and was pushed into bed by him. Zhang Hanqing, who came to take advantage of the situation, had a fire in his pubic area and wanted to climb onto the bed to make a fool of himself. He chuckled frivolously and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and it has grown a lot bigger here."
Suddenly, a clear voice came from the corridor outside the door: "Sister, why don't you turn on the light when you sleep? It's dark and roaring?" It was Huang Wanqing's voice.
It’s Huang Wanqing’s voice! Zhang Hanqing was agitated. Who was the person touching it?
Without thinking, he reacted quickly. While retracting his hand, he didn't forget to cover the man with a quilt. Then he retreated to the door and turned on the bedroom light. Suddenly there was a bright light all around, which blinded Zhang Hanqing.
Huang Wanqing walked in. Zhang Hanqing's sudden appearance startled her. She smiled and patted her chest and said, "I heard you were coming back. I was playing cards with a group of sisters and came to see you. You're good, but you scared me." Jump."
Zhang Hanqing felt guilty and quickly responded: "I have just arrived. When I heard you shouting, I wanted to scare you - who were you shouting just now?"
Huang Wanqing pointed to the bed: "Sister Ruqing has been playing at our house for several days. She was tired from playing cards just now and wanted to come back for a rest. Don't think about it, sister lived with me while you were away. Talking together can relieve boredom."
This sister is her cousin Huang Ruqing, an old acquaintance of Zhang Hanqing.
At this time, Huang Ruqing also calmed down, showed his face from the bed, and said without red face and heartbeat: "I'm just a little tired——Since Han Qing is back, I won't disturb you anymore——I Go back." She got up from the bed, she was dressed neatly, but it was a cheongsam instead of a nightgown. No wonder she couldn't tell the difference for a moment, and she didn't know how she did it so neatly so quickly. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 776 A passionate night
??
Huang Wanqing had no doubt that he had it, and said enthusiastically: "How about that? It's so late, sister, why are you going back? There are plenty of guest rooms in the handsome mansion, just stay here."
Zhang Hanqing also said diligently: "That's right, it's too late, stay here."
At this time, someone outside shouted: "Second Grandma, you can't leave us alone when the young commander comes back. Come and play cards. It's still early to go to bed!" It was a group of upper-class female relatives in the living room opposite the bedroom. I don't know who is laughing and joking. They are all married people, and women are sometimes crazier than men about this topic.
Huang Wanqing said to Zhang Hanqing embarrassedly: "We are all a group of poker friends who come here to play. Why don't we arrange for my sister to stay first?" At home, Zhang Hanqing never acted like the head of the family, so he had a good relationship with his wives. .
In fact, Zhang Hanqing likes her to be like this. She plays cards when she has nothing to do. Otherwise, how will she live her life if she is not around all the time?
He smiled and said: "Go and play your cards. Don't be afraid of being late. Don't be laughed at. I still need to calm down and think about something. Sister Ruqing, I will find someone to arrange it. It's too late today. She There's no need to go back." After what happened just now, which was frightening, it aroused excitement and vague expectation in him. Sister-in-law, reliving old love is so exciting.
Huang Wanqing nodded without doubt, and said to Huang Ruqing: "Sister, Han Qing will arrange for you to stay here later, and then go out to horse racing with me tomorrow." Amidst the cheers of the poker players, she walked out with a shy face. In the bedroom, I didn’t know what a woman said, but I heard waves of malicious laughter coming from the living room.
They are all people who have been there and can guess what they are talking about.
The two of them were in the same room. Huang Ruqing lowered her head and did not dare to look at him, and quickly walked out of the bedroom. This is a wrong place, don't stay here for long. Zhang Hanqing also diligently took her to a guest room at the end. It seemed quiet and elegant. People who didn't know would praise him for his thoughtfulness. Only Zhang Hanqing himself knew what he had in mind.
The guest rooms in Shuai Mansion are cleaned every day and are decorated like a five-star hotel. Zhang Hanqing stayed in the room, looking at her with burning eyes, and did not mention leaving.
Under Zhang Hanqing's gaze, Huang Ruqing began to cover up her behavior with a blushing face: "I didn't expect it was you I recognized the wrong person." She tried her best to explain, but she seemed powerless because Zhang Hanqing looked at him with evil intentions. she:
"I can admit the wrong person, so can you?" He approached her, and his heavy breathing was particularly strong in the room: "You have the wrong person? Besides me, are you involved with other men?"
Huang Ruqing has been a widow since her husband died. Except for Zhang Hanqing that night, she has never experienced a man again. Although Zhang Hanqing's words were meant as a joke, she didn't want to be underestimated by him: "Who do you think I am? Since my husband died, I have decided never to marry again!"
Zhang Hanqing's actions became even more bold. He teased her chin, making her accept his gaze more directly: "You must know it's mine, and you didn't refuse. I know you want a man!" He stretched out his hand. Hold her in your arms and whisper in her ear: "I miss you too."
Huang Ruqing wanted to struggle, but the absurd scenes from the past came to mind again. That time, in order to save her father, she took the initiative to devote herself to this man; today, she is already related to this man, but she still cannot escape the possibility of close contact. And what is even more embarrassing is that this is also destined to be a fruitless result.
Zhang Hanqing could feel the reaction of the body wrapped in a cheongsam. It was a kind of passion that had some strong needs but was strongly suppressed. It was also the most satisfying temptation for men. Feeling her tremble through her clothes is a wonderful feeling that cannot be experienced by other women.
Nearly ten years have passed, but the feeling is still familiar. Thinking of that crazy time, Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but feel proud: "How come it's you who always appears when I need it most?"
After holding it in for a few days, especially since the queen he had always wanted but could not get had just left, he had an urgent need. Huang Ruqing's shyness and willingness to resist are the best channels to relax. She herself is an unexpected surprise.
With what happened just now, Huang Ruqing didn't know what to do. Refuse? I can't explain why I just accepted it. Accept it? Are you going to endure his bullying again like this!
For ten years, her family did not dare to let her remarry, which was a waste of good time. How many decades can a woman live? She didn't know whether she should curse the man in front of her, because he was the initiator! But under his bullying, I suddenly gave up on myself. I always felt that this was it, it was already ruined in his hands anyway.
But when a hand reached out from the hem of the cheongsam, she still moved her body instinctively. Then, I heard Zhang Hanqing chuckle and say: "How many times?"?It's impossible not to give an explanation, and besides, she has been a widow for ten years!
But his next words revealed his true nature: "So you have to serve me well this time!" When she said this, Huang Ruqing used her shame to put him in a quagmire. Zhang Hanqing's demeanor of closing his eyes tightly, frowning, and listening hard to what was happening outside the door greatly increased Zhang Hanqing's strength.
With the high level, the potential was like a bamboo. With Huang Ruqing's half -shame, Zhang Hanqing was not a fast gunner, but he also completed a perfect shooting quickly and quickly.
Mainly because I am worried that Huang Wanqing will come back suddenly. Knowing her, if he comes back, she will find an excuse to end the game quickly no matter what. She is a traditional woman. Her husband is too big, so it is best not to be discovered by her. As for how to use force to comfort Huang Wanqing in the future, our young commander has his own way. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 777 Your circle is in chaos (Part 1)
??
"My heart has been quite uneasy these days. Zhang Hanqing always feels that something has not been done, but he can't remember it.
Major military and state affairs are arranged by Zhu Guangmu, director of the General Office. He is a very meticulous person and has never made any mistakes, so it should not be official business.
If it’s not a public matter, it’s a private matter. Then he remembered that Hu Shi had talked to him not long ago that Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin were coming back from the United States and asked him if he wanted to participate in the reception for them.
" His little thoughts about Lin Huiyin were obvious to everyone in the circle but they didn't reveal it. After all, he wrote two poems for her in a row and his reputation spread far and wide. Two years ago, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng avoided studying in the United States, which may not have meant avoiding him and the spotlight.
Although he had already decided to give up at that time.
Now that they are back, as members of the former cultural circle, they have had relatively deep interactions, and they have some friendship with Liang Sicheng, so they must feel that it would be impolite not to inform them. But considering my own identity and the stories that happened in the past, I stopped by Hu Shi.
I just laughed it off at the time.
Although beautiful women are what I want, they won’t make me dream about them, because he already has a new prey - the queen is much harder and more interesting than Lin Huiyin; if from the practical point of view, In terms of angle, Yu Fengzhi, Huang Wanqing, and Yu Yifan are also much better than her.
Yu Fengzhi and Huang Wanqing are now extremely wealthy, which is entirely his strong financial support; although the newspapers run by Yu Yifan sometimes sing dissent, they still share the same breath with him on principled issues. As the uncrowned king, politics There were many things that he wanted to say but couldn't say, but Yu Yifan could help him deal with them.
When it comes to knowledge, it can only be said that Lin Huiyin is proud in her professional field and is a talented beauty. To put it this way, Gu Ruiyu is also a rare beautiful and talented woman in the field of music.
It’s just that it’s easier to become famous in the literary circle.
Time is a machine that polishes all edges and corners, and is also a tool for settling emotions. Two years is enough time for a passionate man to fall in love with her. Not only him, I heard that another person who once pursued her has also developed new goals and has reached the point of talking about marriage.
He is Xu Zhimo.
What’s very interesting is that the object of his love is Lu Xiaoman, Wang Geng’s wife. Strictly speaking, it's the ex-wife.
He hasn’t paid attention to things in the cultural circle for a long time. The development of things surprised him but took it for granted. After a long period of fruitless unrequited love, Xu Zhimo finally changed his mind and found a new love. His youthful hormones focused on the pretty swan-like Lu Xiaoman who often appeared around him.
No wonder I thought something was wrong with the way he looked at Lu Xiaoman. I don't know when it started, but he, a passionate poet, finally set his sights on her, a married woman.
Poor Wang Geng!
" Sure enough, there is destiny in the dark. Zhang Hanqing can change the fate of the country, but he cannot control the development of personal emotions. After that inadvertent meeting between Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman, they still achieved this fate. He also failed to withstand the inertia of history.
Zhang Hanqing has already made efforts. The beauty of a gentleman is that he knows the huge family and personality differences between Wang Geng and Lu Xiaoman. In order to narrow this gap, he even used his power to make special arrangements for them.
Wang Geng went from acting as the director of the Capital Public Security Department to becoming a full-time official and then concurrently serving as secretary of the Capital Political and Legal Affairs Committee and member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. His status in the capital suddenly rose a lot. In this way, the gap with the Lu family was narrowed.
He is also a top student who studied abroad. He graduated from Tsinghua University, studied at Michigan, Columbia, and Princeton Universities in the United States, and later entered West Point Military Academy. After all, Lu Xiaoman should be satisfied with his talents, talented men and women, handsome men and beautiful women, right?
No!
From the perspective of marriage, Wang Geng is a more suitable existence than Xu Zhimo, but that is for ordinary people. For Lu Xiaoman, who has never known the hardships of life and is devoted to pursuing romance, Xu Zhimo is the more interesting one, many times more interesting than Wang Geng, who is dull and talkative but only focuses on his work.
At first they even knew that they were meeting behind Wang Geng’s back in the name of discussing poetry, but later it became so blatant that it spread throughout the circle.
How could Wang Geng, who holds the machine of dictatorship, not know all this? But after all, he had received a Western education. Although it was very painful, he still expressed his blessings openly. How could he, a man of action who was so rigorous that he regarded official matters as his life, be the opponent of Xu Zhimo, who was accustomed to sweet-talking his poems? A strong man is not sweet, so why should a man be without a wife?
Last year, he officially broke off his engagement with Lu Xiaoman and married the latter and Xu Zhimo, leaving a good story in the literary world.
Wang Geng has a German-style rigorous style.Harm, this is an ancient saying.
"The introduction by the Second Madam is naturally very good - I'm afraid I'm divorced, so won't they have any ideas?"
He was right. Now Huang Wanqing, although her mother's family is still in Shenyang and has not shown much talent, the wealth she has accumulated in the Northeast alone is enough to rival the country. He has worked in Heilongjiang Province for many years and understands the economic status of the Huang family. They say birds of a feather flock together, and the people she introduces will definitely be good.
“But after what happened to Lu Xiaoman, he became naturally wary of girls from noble families. These girls can go out of the hall but not into the kitchen. They can only be glamorous outside, but they are useless at home. They are so pampered and arrogant that their husbands are weak! It’s boring to think about.
"You should have heard of this person. She is young, beautiful, and has a gentle temper. She is a good match for you, and she respects you as a guest. She is a good wife. The only drawback is that she has been a widow for many years, so you may not like her." Zhang Hanqing said matter-of-factly.
Huang Ruqing fully deserves this evaluation. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 779 We are all brothers within the four seas (Part 1)
??
She was overly worried. Because when Wang Geng saw Miss Huang, the most prestigious of the young marshal's many relatives, for the first time, his eyes went straight. I knew that she had been widowed for nearly ten years, but I couldn't help but take good care of herself. Besides, she was still under thirty, which is when a woman is at her most brilliant.
Think about it, which one of the people Zhang Hanqing likes is the worst?
The first time they met was at Zhang Hanqing’s home in Houhai, accompanied by Zhang Hanqing, Huang Wanqing, his mother, and Huang Ruqing’s mother.
“I’m Wang Geng, I’m very happy to meet Miss Huang.” He said very gentlemanly.
"I am Huang Ruqing, you can call me Ruqing." She answered in a ladylike manner, showing her virtuous character.
"I think Wanqing and I have told you about your situation separately. Now that we have met, I find that it is better than I expected." Zhang Hanqing, as a matchmaker, was very serious about guiding them. He had to work hard for Huang Ruqing's happiness. "You two are a perfect match!"
When he said this, he meant it sincerely, although he was reluctant to see Huang Ruqing's radiant face after carefully dressing up.
He personally pushed his woman to other men just for her happiness. He felt that he was great.
Wang Geng smiled heartily. Huang Ruqing heard the implication of Zhang Hanqing's words. Her original shyness towards Wang Geng and Zhang Hanqing turned into some inexplicable feelings, which touched her heartstrings.
Huang’s mother was very satisfied. After all, Wang Geng’s conditions were here, and he was pretty good-looking. For Huang Ruqing, there is no better candidate.
"You guys look around first, and when you decide, I will hold a grand wedding for you!" Zhang Hanqing was going to say goodbye to the past in this way, but after saying it, he felt it was hasty, because several women present were interested. Look at him moved.
With Huang Ruqing’s mother and aunt here, why are you, my little uncle, so anxious?
It’s transgressed!
"Haha", he could only hide his smile, and Jier patted Wang Geng on the shoulder: "Wang Geng is my good brother! He helped me a lot when I was in the Heilongjiang Province! I feel confident about his character. . Besides, I also know Sister Ruqing well. If her life-long issues are not resolved, Wanqing will feel uneasy. We will follow the new style of the Republic of China and let them benefit, and as a group of relatives and friends, we will also help them! "
Doesn’t he know Huang Ruqing well? He has measured every inch!
So Wang Geng and Huang Ruqing officially started dating.
Because he was grateful for the young marshal's affection, Wang Geng became more serious about his work, so he paid attention to every detail in Zhang Hanqing's security, which made everyone who participated in the reception banquet for Lin Huiyin and his wife feel that it was unusual——could something happen in the capital? Why is it so tight inside and outside?
"It doesn't matter, it's Wang Geng who is making a fuss - he has just entered into a marriage and is afraid of being disturbed by others, which is why the atmosphere is so tense, haha!"
Zhang Hanqing is building momentum for Wang Geng, and also reducing the pressure of everyone present to prevent them from thinking wildly. In addition, Wanrong was also taken with him, holding Wang Geng in front first to avoid being too dazzling.
"Oh, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but many people looked at Lu Xiaoman, who was leaning next to Xu Zhimo and making love to each other, very happily. She was not even a little embarrassed by the appearance of her ex-husband, Wang Geng. From this point of view, she is open and okay enough.
Everyone here is all old friends, except for one newcomer, a female, a foreign girl with blond hair and blue eyes. She didn't look very good, so I didn't notice it at first.
"Who is this?" Zhang Hanqing asked. Since Lin Huiyin went to the United States, he has not participated in this kind of salon for a long time. This woman is very handsome, she must have joined later.
“Oh, this is Ms. Pearl Buck, an American writer and sinologist.” Hu Shi introduced.
"Hello, I know you." Zhang Hanqing said proactively.
"Young Marshal also knows about me?" Pearl Buck was surprised. In her opinion, although she had heard of this young marshal and had always been a part of the cultural circle, culture was just an embellishment compared to his high position. As a foreigner in the Chinese cultural circle, it was unlikely that her own existence would have caught his ears.
? Quite the opposite.
Zhang Hanqing is no longer in this circle, but it does not hinder his understanding of Pearl Buck. This American, whose mother tongue is Chinese, accompanied Lin Huiyin and Xu Zhimo when the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore visited China in 1924, thus developing an exotic love affair with Xu Zhimo, and then lived in China for 40 years.
Such a woman’s natural soul is interesting, as can be seen from her Chinese name: she changed her name after admiring the legendary Chinese prostitute Sai Jinhua.
Ordinary Chinese women are afraid of avoidingWhat a joy! But I hope more that the Young Marshal's recognition of me is in terms of literature, rather than anything else. "
Literature, well, Pearl Buck is not very famous in the literary world right now. But until she becomes famous, I'm afraid a new page will be turned between China and Japan - Zhang Hanqing is not sure when Pearl Buck will become famous.
But it can have an influence, just like I have plagiarized the poems of so many celebrities, including Xu Zhimo.
"You will definitely be recognized by the world - think about it, the materials for your works come from China and the United States, two countries with vast territories and many people. You have inherent advantages that many writers do not have. By the way, Is Ms. Sai currently creating?"
Not sure of her current state, Zhang Hanqing would not talk nonsense, he had to have something to brag about. This was also his style of talking about everything.
"Of course there is. I heard that Miss Barker just completed a short love story "A Chinese Woman's Dialogue" not long ago, which was well received." Even though Lin Huiyin has just returned to China, she is very interested in the developments in the domestic literary world. Know well. It's no wonder that those who can hold a salon that has been prosperous for such a long time have extraordinary knowledge and touch.
Buck is Pearl Buck’s American name. As a good friend, Lin Huiyin has always called her that.
Xu Zhimo’s eyes became a little uneasy, because the male and female protagonists in this novel are of different races. Just like him and Pearl Buck, everyone in the industry knew it.
What does Lin Huiyin mean when he mentions this now? ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 780 We are all brothers within the four seas (Part 2)
??
It’s not interesting. This is her dissatisfaction with Xu Zhimo for falling in love so quickly! After all, Xu Zhimo pursued her so passionately before! But maybe she didn't realize it herself.
"This casting is right, because the eulogy of love is the common aspiration of all countries and people of all ethnic groups around the world, and it is something that will never go out of style. If there are other materials that can be compared, it is the love for the country and the people. . I think Ms. Pearl Buck will be able to understand it with her knowledge.”
I don’t know if it was inspired by him, but Pearl Buck began to prepare for the creation of "The Good Earth" soon after. It was also because of this novel she wrote based on what she saw and heard in China that she won the Nobel Prize for Literature, becoming the first female writer to win this award.
"Yes, Mr. Young Marshal. China has many beautiful stories and popular novels, and China is undergoing a tremendous change. This is the source of my creation. I know the Young Marshal's literary attainments It is profound, and I have the honor to read all your works. Taking this opportunity, may I ask the young marshal some questions about literature?"
Since it was a private gathering with the nature of a salon, and Lin Huiyin and Wanrong were there, Pearl Buck couldn’t refuse to ask for advice on his literary “strengths.” On the contrary, he also had a small sense of satisfaction in being in the limelight.
"I don't dare to ask for advice. To be honest, I am only slightly interested in literature and have a glimpse of the ways. If Ms. Sai fails to ask me, please don't laugh at me." He said with a smile.
It was originally a very serious statement, but it sounded modest to others.
It’s so hard to tell the truth in this world!
"Because not long ago, a publishing house in my country contacted me about translating the Chinese classic "Water Margin". This is a novel that almost all Chinese people are familiar with. But I found that the entire "Water Margin", although there are so many There are many heroes and heroes, but there is no life-or-death relationship between a hero and a beautiful woman?"
This was an insinuation, and Zhang Hanqing had no doubt at all, because when she said this, she looked directly at Xu Zhimo, and the latter's face looked a little uneasy.
Lin Huiyin and Hu Shi had also heard about the relationship between Pearl Buck and Xu Zhimo, and they were all looking to see what Zhang Hanqing had to say.
"The reason why "Water Margin" has become a famous Chinese novel is that it does not rely on describing the love affairs between men and women, but revolves around the two banners of forcing the people to rebel and recruiting peace, and reflects the heroic deeds between heroes. It is not that Love is not important, but it just shows how well they see through the world, because heroes know that only the word 'love' in the world is the most tiring."
“I knew that Pearl Buck and Xu Zhimo were destined not to be together, so Zhang Hanqing was taking the opportunity to enlighten her. As for how much she can accept, it depends on fate.
She is really not Xu Zhimo’s type.
"Does Mr. Xu think so too?" Pearl Buck suddenly asked Xu Zhimo, which made him at a loss.
Although Xu Zhimo is very Westernized and has studied abroad, he is still a traditional Chinese man at heart. The women he likes are naturally the kind of women who have "beautiful eyes, charming smiles", "as graceful as a startling dragon, and as graceful as a wandering woman". "Dragon" beautiful woman, Pearl Buck, who is tall, has majestic facial features and is a little fat, obviously does not belong to this category.
He must be someone who understands her feelings. Open your eyes and tell lies, Lin Huiyin is here, you will definitely despise him to death; tell the truth, it is too hurtful!
"I have read Young Marshal's "Farewell Cambridge". I feel that I fell into the thorns of life, and only the water of the Cam River can heal me." He replied poetically.
If you have a good understanding of China's profound language and culture, you will know that he is refusing because Pearl Buck's appearance is not to his liking.
A poet should be poetic. When Tagore visited China two years ago, he and Lin Huiyin accompanied him. In order to win her favor, he also begged Tagore to write a poem for Lin Huiyin:
"The blue of the sky,
Falling in love with the green of the earth,
The breeze between them sighed ‘Hey’. "
"It's a pity that Lin Huiyin didn't say a word and took her fiancé to study abroad, leaving him to lament the blue sky and green earth, so he pursued Lu Xiaoman.
Now it is also a pity that his words are so "poetic" that they don't seem so decisive. Pearl Buck thinks like a foreigner, so this tactful rejection made it even more difficult for her to let go of Xu Zhimo.
Zhang Hanqing saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He is a very straightforward person. Except for the time when he was worried about Yifan's identity and failed to take the initiative to break the veil, he is very frank and serious about women. Love is love, and if you don't love, you don't love. You can't hang on like this, that's not good, it's a bit of a play with emotions.
"He??is translated as "all men are brothers", what do you think? "
I’m dizzy!
Xu Zhimo almost slapped his thigh again. Isn’t this what I thought?
The last time I patted my thigh was when Zhang Hanqing wrote "Farewell Cambridge".
Anyone with a normal IQ will faint, because this translation is true, true, true, true, expressive and appropriate!
"'All brothers within the four seas'? This is definitely the best so far, and I don't think there will be a better translation than it!" Hu Shi admired it sincerely.
"Lao Hu has a profound literary foundation, and no one has any objections, because it is a fact.
The fact is that this name was jointly proposed by Pearl Buck and Xu Zhimo, but it should be in the future. But when Zhang Hanqing translated it in advance, there was no doubt that it was authentic.
Thinking that the young commander has elevated the simple translation work of "Water Margin" to the strategic level of friendship between China and the United States, I can only say that while possessing the brain of an outstanding writer, he also reflects the demeanor of an outstanding statesman.
Anyway, Wanrong was shocked. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 781 On the eve of the congressional election
??
Regarding the first congressional election, Zhang Hanqing did not believe that the People’s Party would come back, so he could still sing every night at such an important moment, but someone wanted to force him to believe it.
Countless opposition forces are planning this election. Since the People's Party has completely controlled the military and stabilized the country's political situation, the military and administrative power have been firmly in its hands. After many wars, it has become impossible to seize power by force. In today's China, the People's Army is indestructible.
“However, due to the parliamentary system created by Zhang Hanqing, as long as he has a majority in the two sessions in the future, he can legitimately influence China’s politics and exert his own influence. This is the consensus of many weaker "gangs", especially the Kuomintang.
Since the death of Sun Yat-sen, the Kuomintang has been like a hero who has become useless. Although the KMT is currently the second largest political party in Congress after the People's Party in terms of the number of members, due to the premature death of Sun Yat-sen, the shortcomings of insufficient integration within the KMT have begun to appear. Not to mention that the three major factions of left, center and right are full of contradictions. Even within the same faction, there are many people making small calculations, such as the Song family in Shanghai and the Kong family in Shanxi.
Originally, the Song family, headed by Soong Ching Ling, was a staunch leftist, and because of the relationship between Soong Meiling and Zhang Hanqing, they had close ties with the People's Party and had always had a harmonious relationship.
The rightist Hu Hanmin initially hoped to fly the banner of Sun Yat-sen, but after seeing with his own eyes Zhang Hanqing's battle of wits and courage with the British and Japanese in Shanghai, he wisely stated that he would join hands with the People's Party, which made him, a rightist leader, seem to be more powerful than the leftist. radical.
“Coupled with the tendency of leftist leader Liao Zhongkai, if it does not show its performance in the parliamentary elections, the party may be annexed by the People’s Party.
Fortunately, they all know that the reason why they are valued by the People's Party is that they still have a certain weight in the political arena. If you want to continue to have the right to speak, you have to show something, so we are still taking this election very seriously.
Because of Sun Yixian's huge influence in Gui, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hubei, Chongqing, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin and other provinces, even in the two years after his death , the Kuomintang still has a great say in these places - according to preliminary estimates, in this congressional election, the Kuomintang will hold about 150 of the 482 seats in the House of Representatives.
This is because in this election, considering that there is no soil for universal suffrage for the time being, the method is simplified. Among the MPs elected from each province, the proportion of each party is initially calculated based on the proportion of MLAs in each province.
Because according to the election law, the number of members of the House of Representatives in each province is determined by the proportion of each party in the provincial assembly. That is, each party elects its own representatives based on the number of members of its party in the provincial assembly and in an equal election method. Candidates, these heads will directly become members of the Congress.
If each party has more than one decimal point, it will be re-elected with the other extra parties, and the party with more votes will win - generally speaking, the strong will always be strong.
Because members of parliament at all levels are elected by local superiors, parties with a strong mass base and large areas of control can easily gain an advantage, especially the People's Party - this is the dominant position of the ruling party. Sexual expression. Because of its great achievements in the founding of the Republic of China, the Kuomintang still has the opportunity to compete with the People's Party in some provinces.
Because of this, the Kuomintang is not willing to be the target of the People's Party's "united front". After two years of changes, the leftist leader Liao Zhongkai, who has great authority in the party, respects Sun Yat-sen's last wishes and is encouraged by the People's Party to "unswervingly implement the policy of 'three dishes cooking justice'". He moved towards the People's Party, only he did not quit the party.
The grassroots Kuomintang members see no way out for their party. Basically, all the ways to realize their ideals are being realized by the Kuomintang one after another: economic construction, administrative governance, supporting national capital, fighting for sovereignty and independence Therefore, many party members have already switched. The Kuomintang fell into the arms of the Kuomintang, resulting in a shocking 1/4 drop in members of the Kuomintang in one year.
If the Kuomintang cannot rebuild its morale, as the country's situation gets better and better, their influence will only get worse and worse. As the elders of the Kuomintang, Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin, the common pressure prompted them to abandon their old differences and work together for the continued existence and development of the Kuomintang.
“It’s not like the Japanese haven’t thought about such a powerful party leader who has the opportunity to compete with the People’s Party. However, Hu Hanmin believed that the dispute between the People's Party and the Kuomintang was an internal issue within China, and it was inappropriate for foreign forces to intervene, otherwise it would lose its meaning, so he rejected the "good intentions" of the Japanese.
Wang Jingwei, on the other hand, maintained an optimistic attitude towards supporting the Japanese and kept in constant contact with the Japanese.
Some political parties established in the early days of the Revolution of 1911 also fought for their own rights without hesitation.There are many widely influential figures among these political parties. To a large extent, their attitudes have the opportunity to give votes a greater chance of attribution.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Wu Peifu, Duan Qirui and other political elders also have a certain strength in the Congress.
Among them, Yan Xishan has the highest status and is the vice president of the country - of course a false title. This was a soft move implemented by Zhang Hanqing to transfer him to leave his hometown in Shanxi. Because he has been away from his hometown in Shanxi for two years, his original deep-rooted position has begun to loosen. His power is not optimistic about the 14-vote House of Representatives seat in Shanxi Province.
Wu Peifu is worth mentioning. When he was "fleeing" in Sichuan, he decisively persuaded Liu Xiang to submit to the Central Committee. This can be regarded as a true act of innocence and meritorious deeds in principle. After the reunification of southwest China, he returned to Beijing safely. Although he has no soldiers and no power in the army, he was elected as a member of the Hebei Provincial Assembly because he has been entrenched in the direct area for many years and his upright style is very popular.
After becoming a member of Congress, his personal charm began to show. However, observers believed that Cao Kun had bribed voters before, and it was difficult for him to obtain many of the 64 votes in the three provinces of Henan, Hebei and Beijing.
In the same way, Qirui also hopes to make a comeback. After a year in power in name only as Zhang Zuolin's puppet, the veteran who had dominated Chinese politics for decades had no choice but to step aside and settle in Tianjin.
Duan Qirui, who has been living in Jinmen for a long time, once said that he only talks about Buddhist scriptures and does not ask about politics. In fact, he has been active in the political arena for decades and is unwilling to be lonely. Moreover, "politics" come to ask him from time to time. Japanese spy Doihara and others tried to pull him out of the mountain and organize a puppet regime completely loyal to the Japanese that was opposed to the National Government in Beijing.
What’s admirable is that Duan Qirui didn’t agree. It was obvious to all that Duan Qirui was pro-Japanese, but he was unwilling to instigate the Chinese to start another civil war. He did not want to be led by the Japanese.
In order to prevent Duan Qirui from falling into the hands of the Japanese and to enable the power of the old Anhui clique to be used by the People's Party, Zhang Hanqing continued to send civilians out to Beijing to do Duan Qirui's work, and persuaded him to come to Beijing to "recuperate", "so that he could be ready at any time." business affairs". But Duan Qirui was wavering, undecided.
Comparatively speaking, Feng Yuxiang has the weakest strength and foundation. However, due to his resolute launch of the "Beijing Coup" and his great achievements in ending the internal fighting between China's two largest factions, as well as his determination to follow Sun Yat-sen, he won the hearts of many people, including those who already held important positions in the People's Army. Many former generals of the Feng clan had respect and guilt for this old boss.
After he was forced to lift his military power, he traveled to the Soviet Union and Western Europe, essentially doing nothing for more than two years and staying out of the Chinese political arena.
Originally, he had been angry more than once to continue fighting against the People's Party, and many potential opponents of the People's Party lobbied him to oppose the People's Party's rule. However, what he saw and heard after returning to China gradually wavered. Such determination.
The country has continued to develop steadily and people's living standards have steadily improved. What benefit would it bring to the country's development to wage another war to break this hard-won situation for many years?
If we can unite the forces of the Democratic Party, Duan Qirui (Wan), Wu Peifu (Zhi), Yan Xishan (Jin), and Feng Yuxiang, we will have a rare chance of defeating him with an absolute advantage of more than 300 votes in the congressional midterm elections. The People's Party thus truly became a political party and legally seized power under the conditions stipulated in the interim constitution!
Because the parties only initialed these provisions at the beginning, the specific details will still have to wait until this session of Congress is established before discussing and voting on them. Now is the time!
These factions also have their own calculations: since the People's Party has essentially led the entire country, taking the initiative to vote for the People's Party is just the icing on the cake, and if they cast their votes for the second-placed Kuomintang, which is said to participate in politics and is actually in the opposition, it will undoubtedly It means to provide help in times of need. In order to win over the votes of various parties, the Kuomintang must take certain care of the interests of all parties.
So, driven by this temptation, various political parties and factions began to gather together towards the Kuomintang based on their own calculations, adding many variables to the election.
"In the continuous stream of information reported by the People's Party Organization Departments in various places, there is more and more information about the adverse situation, and the evidence is becoming more and more comprehensive and conclusive, making Zhang Hanqing's nerves suddenly tense. There are many things that have capsized in the gutter in the history of China and foreign countries. It is not Zhang Hanqing's style to work hard to win a country, but then end up making wedding clothes for others.
Of course, Zhang Hanqing does not have the opportunity to completely solve this matter, just like what Zhang Zuolin said after he reported it to his cheap dad, "I'll send a division to clean them all up."
"It's easy to kill people, but it's hard to eliminate the consequences. Needless to say, the Japanese took the opportunity to start an uprising, and even the British and American countries that pride themselves on "freedom, freedom, and human rights" would not agree. In addition, this action would set back China's war system, which had finally been put on track with great difficulty, for decades, and even more so. It was far from Zhang Hanqing's original intention to make a bad start.
Since the election has been decided, we must win this round openly, because under the leadership of the People’s Party, it was originally a clean election. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The British and American countries that "freedom, democracy, and human rights" will not agree to it; in addition, this action will set back China's democracy system that has finally got on the right track for decades, and it will start a bad start, which is far from Zhang Hanqing's intention. .

Chapter 782 The First Political Crisis
??
Since elections are a transfer of power, there will naturally be various struggles for interests. This is normal.
As long as the voters faithfully express their opinions, it is a clean election, even if there are interests, emotional exchanges and various empty promises. Deception, exaggeration, idealizationthis is what foreign elections are like. Chinese monks are not immune to foreign scriptures when they recite them, but it is easy to recite them incorrectly.
Zhang Hanqing also wants to review the people's perception of the People's Party in the two years since it has been in power. It is impossible to lose a big loss. Northeast, northwest, and central China can always ensure that its basic market is not too ugly - the so-called ugly means that it is weak. Majority controls Congress.
By doing this, he made the election full of uncertainty and made the atmosphere in the political arena very delicate.
The rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building.
Whether it can deal with it head-on and win the battle will test the People's Party's ability to control power. Zhang Hanqing does not believe that with the well-known efforts of the People's Party, the Chinese people who have witnessed China's growing strength will be willing to change the current process, give up this rare historical opportunity, and destroy the good development situation.
“He also doesn’t believe that the People’s Party, which can fight its way through a hail of bullets, cannot still win on another battlefield.
As he said at the Fifth Plenary Session of the Second Central Committee of the People’s Party in May 1926: “The People’s Party seized power through the barrel of a gun, but whether it can retain power cannot be determined by the barrel of a gun. . There is an old saying in China, 'How can we conquer it immediately if we gain it immediately?' We must fully mobilize the masses just as we did when we first gained power, fight the great battle that will determine China's future again, and strive for complete victory. This great battle is called Pan. cook."
His voice is sonorous and powerful, his words are extremely passionate, and his eyes are full of confidence. His speech sounded the clarion call for the People's Party to march into Congress.
Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, each province began to compete for senators and representatives. As the ruling party, the People's Party has an absolute advantage in politics, and the Propaganda Department has also stepped up its efforts to launch People's Party candidates in various provinces. The overwhelming slogans and rallies put all political parties to shame: What is an organized political party? The People's Party is.
But due to national conditions, the election at this time is far from a universal suffrage system. Imagine that ordinary people who cannot read a word and work hard for their own one-third of an acre of land every day know what a policy platform is?
Therefore, the Republic of China at that time adopted a bottom-up recommended election method, that is, legal political parties launched their own lists of provincial councilor candidates in each province, and provincial councilors were voted by county councilors elected by each county. of. In this way, councilors as administrative units at the county level determine the votes of provincial councilors and even members of Congress.
Starting from June 1st, some provinces started to hold elections, and the feedback is that the situation is not good for the People’s Party. The reason is that the problem lies with the county-level councilors who Zhang Hanqing did not value before. He somewhat regretted the policy of involving and caring for local powerful factions in order to successfully enter Beijing——
In order to successfully seize administrative power, some leading figures from various places were driven out of the government decision-making level as a last resort, but at the same time, they were prevented from going against the People's Party, so as to free up time to stabilize the regime in the future. On the grounds of considering the electoral ability of each place, they pushed powerful people from various places to the positions of county councilors that were considered "insignificant" at the time.
Originally, he had thought about drafting a "Congress Election Law" that suited him to eliminate this hidden danger. However, because economic and military development involved most of his time, he later tried to properly resolve the "May 30th Incident" and its Yan Yan has been doing his best, but it was only on the eve of the election that he realized there might be risks here.
When he raised this issue, Zhang Zuolin did not take it seriously. As the chairman of the National Assembly, Wu Junsheng also felt that the country's military and political machinery was under control, and other unarmed parties had absolutely no ability to stir up any big waves, so they did not take precautions against these hidden dangers. Now it seems wrong.
Because the time after the People’s Party took over was short-lived, more energy was spent on how to build an industrially strong China and gain control of the political power, and less attention was paid to the old people and officials of the Republic of China who had lost their original administrative power in various places.
These local figures, who originally started from the land but whose family fortunes declined due to the rise of the "household responsibility system" in agriculture, have been dissatisfied with the government after their original privileges were banned, but they just suffered from the lack of opportunity to revolt. .
Originally, Zhang Hanqing's idea of ??economic reform was accompanied by political reform, that is, after the majority of farmers gained economic autonomy, they could become politically aware and participate in politics from the bottom up, so that they would not feel like themselves. After the "outstanding" reformers left, "the people died and the government died."
But because the time was too short, county-level councils in many places are still controlled by these long-lost dignitaries——Only the aristocratic class who don't worry about food and clothing have time to "fiddle with these inexplicable" things.
"Just do whatever the government tells you to do" - these are the original words of a farmer who was allocated land, but they are very representative. In their hearts, this government that brings them physical and mental liberation, food and clothing is credible. But they could not have imagined that it was their indifference to legislative power that almost destroyed the newly established government of the Republic of China, which they loved wholeheartedly.
Because of the weak control of the People’s Party in the back-controlled provinces, key county-level parliamentarian candidates have never received the outcry and publicity they deserve, and have also been boycotted by local powerful factions.
Of course, there are also some areas where excessive pursuit of industrial development has led to suspicions of a "Great Leap | Forward" in certain industries, and as a result, people's living conditions have not greatly improved.
Think about the great patriotism of the Chinese people. Even so, few people doubt the mistakes of the People's Party's policies, but understand them as the country's pain to get rid of the current poverty. In poorer areas, especially in provinces previously controlled by the People's Party, members of the People's Party were elected to provincial councils without exception.
On the other hand, in the eastern coastal areas and the Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan regions, the People’s Party has a relatively shallow foundation. The People’s Party’s policies of developing state-owned enterprises and supporting national industries cannot win the favor of comprador capitalists and local private bankers. In order to gain a say in politics, the industrial alliances headed by the "Shanghai Federation of Industry and Commerce" actively supported the agents, contributed money and efforts, and waved flags and slogans to build momentum for their candidates.
Their candidates are mainly the Kuomintang, with whom they have deep "feelings".
The results gradually coming from various places show that the People's Party does not have a greater advantage in this election as initially expected: the Feng faction suffered a loss in Congress. When it first entered Beijing, in order to achieve a balance with all parties , also believes that Congress is an embellishment in political life, and the proportion of People's Party members in Congress is not large.
Therefore, when Zhang Hanqing completed his control over the country politically, militarily, and economically, it was also the time when his control over Congress was at its weakest. The opposition regards the outcome of this mid-term congressional election as an important opportunity to seize political power and devotes all its efforts. Therefore, the election situation has the greatest impact on China's democratic activities since Cao Kun's election bribery.
This is the first political crisis of the People's Party since its establishment. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 783 The Emperor’s Dignity
??
Even when the battle in Congress was intensifying, Zhang Hanqing did not give up his pursuit of Wanrong.
Zhang Hanqing took the queen with him when dancing, eating, horse racing, playing ball, and even attending banquets and welcoming guests. The Queen's relationship with the most powerful young marshal in the Republic of China is a very eye-catching news in itself. As time passed, the media were not fools, and many rumors spread.
This wind spread through the streets and alleys through word of mouth, and was also brought into the strict palace.
Wanrong’s mother is considered stepmother and aunt Hengxiang. This granddaughter of Dingjun Prince Puxu once went to the palace to inquire about this. After all, the once-prominent family background cannot be tarnished, and the title of Queen has given their family endless glory, although now it is only in name.
However, facing the persistent pursuit of the young marshal whose strength was disparate, they had no choice but to tactfully advise the queen to "keep a respectful distance" from the young marshal.
Wanrong doesn’t know, but what can she do? Even her husband could not stop her. Under Zhang Hanqing's repeated attacks, she even had the idea of ??breaking the jar. However, a virtuous woman is afraid of a foolish man, not to mention that Zhang Hanqing is gentle and elegant most of the time except for occasionally showing his arbitrary side.
His handsomeness and extraordinary conversation gave Wanrong a feeling of being lifted up from Mount Tai.
So they left their footprints everywhere in Xiangshan Park and Zhongnanhai.
On the National Day a few months later, Zhang Hanqing was preparing to hold a grand military parade to give China a boost of spirit after May 30. Military parades are the best window to showcase a country’s military strength in peacetime. Zhang Hanqing is confident that he will draw attention to the strength of the Chinese Army at home and abroad, and gain some political respect from then on:
Isn’t it true that China’s weakness has left such a deep impression on the outside world that even a small country like Belgium can challenge China on concession matters?
Since her husband was away from Beijing to study military affairs, Tang Yiying used this as an excuse to persuade Wanrong to go to the military camp to see what kind of magic there was in this place where men lived, so that her man dived in like a fascination, regardless of his beloved wife. Concubine’s feelings?
Wanrong was also a little moved. The experience of leaving the palace many times has caused her mentality to change subtly, from passive to half-hearted, but she hasn't realized it yet. At this time, Tang Yiying had successfully acted as Zhang Hanqing's pimp, using herself as a shield to lure Wanrong out of the palace many times to create opportunities to meet Zhang Hanqing.
This time, she came on behalf of Zhang Hanqing again.
The suspicious Puyi could no longer tolerate this blatant cuckolding behavior. Even though he was a deposed emperor, even though his life and fortune were in the hands of others, he still roared with anger, but it was aimed at the queen. "I won't let you go out again!" He roared at Wanrong, "You have completely embarrassed the royal family!"
Tang Yiying was unhappy: "Your Majesty, the Queen is just having normal interactions with the Young Marshal, what's the shame of it? Besides, I'm with you, don't you feel relieved? Besides, it's been the Republic of China for so many years, don't talk anymore." Men and women are not allowed to have sex, so who still clings to the past ideas?"
It’s just because of you that it’s bad! Puyi's inner disgust can be seen in his eyes. Why did the emperor's younger brother Pujie marry such a dishonest and notorious woman! Pujie had only been away for a short time, and the scandal between her and the young marshal had already spread throughout Beijing. What good reputation will the Queen have if she keeps running with her! Although the Qing Dynasty is gone, I am still here, and I don’t need to rely on the queen to survive!
Wanrong covered her face and cried. It's not that she wants to go out, but the young marshal's people are waiting outside the palace. There is nothing the emperor can do about it. Why should a weak woman bear this humiliation? She cried and said: "I am innocent. If Your Majesty does not want me to go out, just tell them directly. I would rather die than go out again."
If you dare to say it, do you still need to mention it? Puyi became so angry that he didn't dare to offend the young commander, but he could find fault with the queen. He suddenly became furious, walked up to Wanrong, stretched out his hand and slapped her: "You bitch!" He said sternly again: "No one can leave the palace without my permission!"
Outside the palace, a relaxed Zhang Hanqing, accompanied by Zhang Zongchang, waited patiently under the tree for the appearance of Queen Wanrong. Zhang Zongchang, who has been officially designated as the commander-in-chief of the Tianlun Line Railway Construction, does not have the "talent" for infrastructure construction. Zhang Hanqing did this just to disgust Zhang Jinghui - for this reason, should he take action?
Haha, still 574! Do you really think that all the agents of the Ministry of National Security all over the country are vegetarians? The Director of the Political Department of the Mongolian Construction Corps had already reported all this in detail. The reason why I didn't move him was to see how deep the water was here, and I wanted to use this to make a comeback in Congress.
Zhang Zongchang once again entered Zhang Hanqing's favor with his notorious reputation.The bag is for you to drill into.
After you have been here once, you will probably know the route.
The back hall of Yangxin Hall is the emperor's bedroom. There are five bedrooms in total. The two east and west bedrooms are bedrooms, each with a dragon bed. The emperor can live at will. The five east rooms are for the queen and the west five are for the concubines. The beautiful one is naturally in the east, the East Palace; the elegant one should live in the west, right? It's a pity that I couldn't see her twice.
Zhang Hanqing walked in front, followed by Zhang Zongchang, followed by Puyi and the little eunuch trotting behind, and then a group of fully armed guards. Even though they were in the palace, even though the outside seemed like an iron wall, they still didn't dare to take it lightly. The imperial palace is a mysterious existence to most of them. Perhaps, since the Ming Dynasty, except for the Manchu Qing Dynasty entering the Pass and the Eight-Power Allied Forces entering Beijing, there are no other branches that can enter with full force.
Five rooms deep, the yellow glazed tiles on the mountain-style roof are not much different from other buildings, but Zhang Hanqing felt something inexplicable in his heart. This is a restricted area and the Queen's residence.
Queen, here I come! ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 784 A brief moment of toughness
??
Without the maidens who are like butterflies and swallows, the last queen's appearance was pitifully small. The moment Zhang Hanqing entered the palace, he only found three women beside the queen. Two are palace maids and the other is Tang Yiying.
"You can't blame her. There are only about a hundred eunuchs in the entire palace, not as many as the soldiers guarding them.
The queen was crying. She was sitting by the table, shrugging her shoulders, very sad. The maids comforted them as much as possible, but how could a simple word of concern heal the pain in their hearts?
Wanrong was still surprised when a group of men entered. This is a forbidden area, and no man except the emperor has ever entered without permission. Even her brothers from her mother's family could only stay in the Yangxin Hall, waiting for her to receive them. But when she saw the young commander with a concerned face, her tears flowed out again unsatisfactorily.
Zhang Zongchang was the first to get angry. He pointed at Puyi: "What's going on? Didn't you say that the Queen is sick? I think she has a heart disease, right?"
Puyi couldn't help but pretend to be stupid: "I feel uncomfortable this morning."
Zhang Hanqing looked at Tang Yiying: "Why didn't you report the queen to me quickly when she was sick? You can contact us if you want to ask for medicine. Zhongnanhai has a special medical team designated by the Ministry of Health. They are all experts." He looked at Puyi, "No worse than your so-called imperial doctors."
Tang Yiying wiped her neck vigorously to show her face. Zhang Hanqing knew something was wrong, so he calmly leaned over to visit. However, with his authentic husband next to him, his behavior was very inappropriate, and Pu Yi's face became ugly. However, Zhang Hanqing didn't care about this.
What was visible was a crimson mark on her face and her helpless tears. He suddenly turned around and looked at Pu Yi: "What's going on?"
The huge humiliation suddenly cheered up Puyi, and he suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs: "I was the one who hit him! So what?"
Zhang Hanqing looked at him coldly and let him roar: "I am the honor of a country, and I beat my queen. She brought shame to the royal family. She brought shame to the royal family. She did not observe the rules of women. She"
Zhang Hanqing suddenly pointed at him: "Shut up!"
The sound was not loud, but Puyi subconsciously stopped crying. The shadow of a person, the name of a tree, Zhang Hanqing's influence in recent years has been far beyond what the emperor can look up to. It can be said that his life and death are all in Zhang Hanqing's hands.
"Did you beat the queen?" Zhang Hanqing said calmly, but his voice was full of majesty.
"She is my queenshe"
Zhang Hanqing became angry. The treasure in his heart, the queen that Chao Si had dreamed of for several years, was unexpectedly slapped in the face by another man. Although it was her face that was hit, Zhang Hanqing felt burning pain.
"Your queen?" Zhang Hanqing didn't look at him, but looked at Wanrong: "If it weren't for the queen's face, you would no longer be the emperor!" He said softly, but his words were as strong as a thousand words. Indeed, it was because he wanted to leave a regret in his heart that he had a big conflict with Feng Yuxiang's army, thereby prolonging the imperial family's life.
Only Wanrong suddenly remembered his self-statement: "You are my queen, and I will be your emperor." For some reason, her heart suddenly tightened. Under Zhang Hanqing's unkind gaze, there was a thought that made her heart palpitate, and she could detect it sensitively.
"Do you believe that I can eradicate your Aixinjueluo family from the roots with just one word? If I can keep you from the hands of the National Army, I can drive you out with your family and your family without leaving any chicken or dog behind! You Look at the past dynasties, which of the last royal families was treated so favorably by the Republic of China? You are not satisfied with the continuous salary and the unbroken title! Are you going to challenge me now?" Zhang Hanqing's tone rose, and his majesty was unimaginable.
Under Zhang Hanqing’s intervention, the imperial salary that had been abolished for a year is very likely to be restored. This is the biggest reward for Queen Wanrong to stay with the young marshal. It was also for this reason that Puyi could constantly convince himself to let the queen leave the palace: "I do it for the sake of the foundation of the Xinjueluo family"
The emperor's mood has dropped, and a chill has emerged. He said cowardly: "Don't dare, don't dare. I know, I know." His head shook like a rattle, which showed that he was as timid and cowardly as an ordinary 20-year-old young man. Come. In desperation, he finally stopped saying "I" and instead called out "I, me".
Zhang Hanqing was still angry: "Kick him out! If he has any disobedient thoughts, just kill him!" Over the years, except for the time when Tang Yulin was arrested. Puyi's disgrace to Wanrong was a slap in the face to himself - the last emperor turned against you!
The guards who looked like wolves and tigers rushed over. Pu Yi turned pale with fright and kept saying, "Be obedient, be obedient." People are like swordsmen, and I am like fish and meat. What should I do if I don't obey?
Wanrong, who was crying, heard the newsHe was surprised: "Young Marshal, no!" If the skin is gone, how will the hair be attached? She has not yet decided what to do as a queen without the emperor. Moreover, a couple's kindness lasted a hundred days, no matter they were not actually married, she would never forget this kindness. After all, she would live a relatively happy life after a few years of marriage, if they were still a couple.
Zhang Hanqing had no intention of doing anything originally. His words were just a slight shock to create a relaxed condition for the queen to leave the palace in the future. It is estimated that the purpose has been achieved now. He waved his hand and said slowly: "Take him outside and let him face the wall and think about his mistakes!"
Several guards took the shivering Puyi and took him out. Naturally, the eunuchs and maids dispersed, and Zhang Zongchang wisely went outside the palace and personally escorted Emperor Xun to the execution. Facing the wall is a common punishment in the army, but dealing with the emperor, even though he is a submissive emperor, seems to have a different taste.
There were only three people left in the room, and Wanrong couldn't do anything else but cry. Tang Yiying stretched out her little finger at Zhang Hanqing maliciously, and then waved it at Wanrong.
She knew exactly what Zhang Hanqing was thinking. He did everything he could to get close to Wanrong, and now he even treated her husband. If you are so brave, then go and comfort the Queen yourself!
What responded to her was Zhang Hanqing’s middle finger.
In the past few months, the "dating" between the two has not been as much as in the first month of their acquaintance, but in this way, this romantic couple still lives more often than Pujie, who has been married for several years. Maybe that's what it means to overshadow the guest and take over the host, right?
For Tang Yiying, being able to meet the young marshal is a sign of her success in the social circle. From then on, she has unlimited fame, and it also adds a lot of insurance factors for possible big changes.
??The government of the Republic of China, which already has the position of head of state, has already heard many voices saying that it wants to deny the conditions for preferential treatment of the royal family and aristocrats in the early Republic of China, because now is the new Republic of China, a country that implements the new santanzhiyi.
What Zhang Hanqing was satisfied with was sleeping with a nobleman, whose status was higher than that of Gege. No Princess Princess or Princess Ziwei is as interesting as this Princess Princess under me.
"My younger brother's wife, how noble she is, still wants to have fun under him. Is there anything more psychologically exciting than this?" It is only natural that Zhang Hanqing was so happy to miss Shu that he forgot about his first wife and his mistress. Both are beautiful, and people can be psychologically satisfied at the same time. This is incomparable.
Now that I have the opportunity to kiss the Queen’s Fangze, what’s the point of this slutty woman making a lightbulb next to her if she doesn’t raise her middle finger? ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 785 So Soothing
The queen’s hair is a little messy, but even so, she still can’t hide her beauty. She was leaning on the desk, her shoulders shrugged slightly, but her body remained motionless. Could it be that this royal family was even particular about crying?
Zhang Hanqing stepped forward, Wanrong listened to the footsteps, her heart was in her throat. However, what was supposed to come would eventually come. Zhang Hanqing naturally put his hand on the back of her neck and asked gently: "Does it hurt?"
Wanrong was shocked. Ordinary men and women still refuse to kiss each other. She is the face of the royal family. The young marshal sticks to her as soon as he says it. He has no scruples at all! She sensitively slid to the side, but Zhang Hanqing's hand extended and still touched her neck.
Being seen by Tang Yiying, the royal family lost all face. If she talks about it, how can she still be a human being? But push him away? Falling out? He didn't have the courage to do this: would he be angry about it? He dares to scold even the emperor!
She doesn’t know what to do.
Zhang Hanqing wanted to look at her face, so he stretched out his other hand to lift her temples - pear blossoms with rain, which was a special feeling. I had seen it once before in a movie theater, but it was too dark to see clearly. Now, after appreciating Wanrong's youthful and beautiful appearance, and seeing her weak and feminine side, even a strong man will be tempted!
Wanrong was inexplicably horrified at this time: Even her husband has never done such an intimate gesture, how could she let other men do it? She turned her head away, like a daughter-in-law who was at odds with her husband.
Zhang Hanqing simply leaned over, since there was no one else in the room except Tang Yiying. When his fingers touched her body, Wanrong screamed "Ah" and tightened her body. She raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Hanqing in horror.
The latter gave him a harmless smile: "I won't eat you, what are you afraid of!"
Tang Yiying smiled maliciously and said, "She is just worried that you will eat her."
Zhang Hanqing glanced at her, and Tang Yiying smiled knowingly and said, "I'll go out for a walk, and you two can have a good chat."
She raised her feet to leave, and Wanrong exclaimed uneasily: "Yiying, where are you going?"
The relationship between Tang Yiying and Zhang Hanqing did not escape her, she could guess it with her toes. The outside world has also slandered her reputation, and I feel extremely ashamed of her as a person. But as a member of the royal family, she still feels somewhat safe here. Zhang Hanqing had been thinking about him several times. If it hadn't been in broad daylight, something would have happened.
Tang Yiying became respectful in a rare way: "Madam, you are chatting inside, I will be at the door and will not hinder you." She said and closed the door with a smile.
As she walked out in a hurry, silence returned to the room, leaving only the empress, who felt embarrassed and frightened, facing the eager Zhang Hanqing.
With no outsiders around, Wanrong felt that Zhang Hanqing's breathing was becoming heavier, and her heartbeat was also speeding up. She felt Zhang Hanqing next to her leaning towards her again, placing his fingers on her face despite her dodge - there were imprints left by Puyi there.
Zhang Hanqing was rubbing her face beside her like this. She wanted to call out, but was afraid that it would be more embarrassing in the crowd, and the emperor wouldn't be tough for her humiliation, right? The submissive scene just now had betrayed his heart - he was her husband, but he couldn't stand upright, not just in bed; she wanted to struggle, but she was afraid of arousing Zhang Hanqing's dissatisfaction and thus irritating the emperor. body.
Zhang Hanqing was so courageous that his hand had already reached Wanrong's chin. It's slippery and feels particularly comfortable in the palm of your hand. Wanrong refused tremblingly: "No"
This sound aroused Zhang Hanqing's deep desire. Looking at the pitiful queen, he suddenly felt an impulse, making his usually masculine heart suddenly feel tenderness. He hugged her gently but tightly and put his head to her cheek: "Does it hurt? I won't let that loser hit you again!"
Wanrong's surprise was no small matter. She no longer wanted to call out without hesitation, "Let go, I'm going to call someone," she said.
What responded to her was Zhang Hanqing's pride or threat: "As long as you dare, I dare to take off your clothes in front of that emperor. And then in front of him, hey, you know!" At this time, he remembered a line from Stephen Chow's movie The famous line: "It's no use shouting until your throat breaks!"
But having said that, he still gently sealed her mouth with two fingers and looked at her gently but calmly: "Do you want everyone to know?"
His calmness made Wanrong hesitate—if he really wanted to do this, it would be an endless shame for the entire royal family and the Wanrong family!
And even if he did it, Puyi would have no choice! It was already a shame to be approached by a man other than the emperor, so why should the emperor watch it with his own eyes? Suddenly thinking of the dignity of the royal family, the face of her mother's family, and how she would meet others, Wanrong calmed down in an instant.
The key is, even if the emperor comes in person, what can he do to the young marshal? It only adds to the shame. So she stopped trying to shout, but tried with all her strength to push away Zhang Hanqing's intimacy.
Zhang Hanqing was extremely proud.
"If Yiren loses the courage to resist, it will appear that his strength is longer. He reluctantly separated her hands and picked her up. Wanrong's weak hands were unable to struggle at all. The shock, humiliation, and helplessness made her feel confused.
"What are you going to do? I am the queen of the Qing Empire!" She beat him on the back weakly. Being hugged closely by Zhang Hanqing, this was all she could do.
"Mother, I like you!"
While speaking, Zhang Hanqing had already kissed her lips, and then buried his head in a passionate kiss that almost suffocated her. This is the first time in twenty-two years that a man has been close to her, and the first time that she has been kissed.
In addition to panic, shame and anger, there is also a little bit of soreness and numbness. For a moment, Wanrong was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die.
"I never thought that she would be insulted in this way and on this occasion by the son of a bandit from Longxing, Manchuria. Although in history, kings who subjugated their countries and those who died after their country basically suffered tragic experiences of one kind or another, this was something that would never have been imagined in the Republic of China.
But there is nothing we can do.
Zhang Hanqing's fanaticism gave her no chance to react. Next to her was the dragon bed. The endless desire, the snow-white skin, and the struggling beauty gave everything in front of her a specific meaning, giving Zhang Hanqing a surge of motivation.
This is the queen's palace, and I will conquer her completely like a lucky king. He has never used force and grace on a woman, and he will be the first, just like Emperor Xuantong was unwilling to abdicate.
“ Putting aside the identity of Queen Wanrong, she is also a very rare beauty. Her name was the same as the impression she gave him: gentle personality and outstanding appearance.
He is using actions to bid farewell to feudal society. This is the real and thorough revolution! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 786 You are my queen
??
"Ten years ago, on the eve of President Yuan becoming emperor, a young man met your emperor for the first time in Beijing. Oh, at that time Puyi was already deposed. Even so, he still held up the emperor Just outside the Summer Palace, he had a fierce argument with the other party just because that person blocked his car.
There was a fierce dispute between them. At that time, Puyi was still under the wing of President Yuan Da, and this young man was just a proton.
So in the end, the deposed emperor won.
But the young man swore a poisonous oath to the deposed emperor: 'One day, I will watch you get out of the Forbidden City, watch your ancestral graves being dug, and watch your people wander around begging! You will bear the full responsibility for the sins your royal family has committed against China! I will also make you regret your words today ten thousand times! ’”
Wanrong was stunned by his words. Even the most obtuse person would understand that this young man was the young marshal with an increasingly strong aura in front of her, this man who was misbehaving around her and was about to do something wrong.
"Just because of a dispute that blocked the road, youhe swore such a strong oath?" Wanrong couldn't believe it.
"If it was just a dispute between them, it wouldn't be a big deal at all. But when the country's hatred and family hatred are all added to them, the nature changes! The Manchus have been in the customs for more than two hundred years, and they have forcibly turned the lofty country into a Despite this appearance, the Republic of China government still wanted to give it preferential treatment, but it was still uneasy!
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? People of insight all over the world believe that the revolution of the Republic of China is still far from complete, and it still has a tail. Whenever there is a disturbance, this tail will be exposed and want to make trouble! The ancients said that we should repay evil with kindness. How can we repay kindness with kindness?
So it’s time to bring this piece of history to an end! "
Wanrong looked at him, speechless. Although the state affairs have nothing to do with her at all, and she is not a true queen of the country, she has always been a member of the Qing clan, and this cannot be changed in her blood.
“What are you going to do?!” she asked, desperate.
Although people are deep in the palace, newspapers and family English teachers including Tang Tianying and other royal relatives can still bring in news from the outside world. She knew that the lifeblood of the country now rested entirely in the hands of the Feng clan and the young marshal in front of her. If the other party wants to do something, no force can save it.
"Originally, for your sake, I didn't take action against him. On the contrary, I used my own efforts to help him eliminate the disaster caused by Feng Yuxiang's National Army."
So Wanrong confirmed that the young man who swore was the person in front of her. However, whether Ming Ming understands it or not is of little significance anymore, because what he said next:
"But I saw the restlessness hidden in his bones! I believe that as long as there is a chance, he will still do something that is outrageous to both humans and gods. He has never taken the safety of the Republic of China to heart, and even if it is appropriate, he can Help outsiders sell the country!"
Didn’t Puyi do these things in history? Manchukuo was established under his name with the support of the Japanese. If it weren't for him, how the Japanese ended up after the September 18th Incident would be a different story.
"So I decided to put the oaths I had sworn upon him one by one: I will drive him out of the Forbidden City, let his clan members and the Eight Banners be completely trampled under their feet, let their wealth accumulated over the past century be wiped out, and let There will be no peace in his ancestral grave!"
Wanrong’s hands were already stiff. She had heard the most vicious oath so far, but she did not doubt the possibility at all. She even saw the future of the emperor and her clan The scene of the building about to collapse seemed to appear before her eyes.
terrible!
"But all this is not the emperor's fault" She tried her best to calm Zhang Hanqing's resentment.
"So what? I wanted to pull out his ancestors Nurhaci, Huang Taiji and others and whip their corpses, but public opinion doesn't allow it! There is no other way but to let the little emperor take the responsibility" His grievances are very clear.
If we trace the root of all the disasters of the modern Chinese nation, a large part of it can be attributed to the group of wild boar skins outside the customs. Had it not been for the serious obstruction of the group of people who emerged in the late Jin Dynasty, the late Ming Dynasty would have most likely enabled China to enter the capital empire, thereby greatly changing the national destiny
"I beg you not to hurt him! Don't hurt my people either"
Although Wanrong’s empress is only in name only and is not even recognized by mainstream history, she still prays for her people with a maternal heart.
Zhang Hanqing looked at her: "I said that it was because of you that I didn't take action; now, hatred has fascinated my eyes. Only you can calm my anger; only you can save the little emperor's life. And those clan members!"
Wanrong understood what she meant.
Then, before she could express anything,? Zhang Hanqing has exerted his strength again, applying pressure while taking action: "So if you want to help them, what you have to do now is to become my queen!"
So she saw a different Zhang Hanqing.
Unlike the gentle young marshal, the young man in front of him was using violence to demonstrate his aesthetics. No matter how much she pushed or pulled, he could seize any gap and move further, thereby controlling several of her positions.
Any resistance she has is just a formality.
Before she could wake up from the shock, Zhang Hanqing had already launched a new round of attack on her. Regardless of her efforts to stop him, his fingers slid from her ribs along the loose cheongsam to her delicate skin, all the way down.
It was already too cold at high places, and there was no danger to defend low places. She could feel the ripples brought by that warm hand.
Resistance seems futile and can only be fought back with tears. It's just that at this time, in this scene, everything has to stand aside. This tearful look can only make people consider her weakness, but it can also arouse the strength of the warrior.
The obscene clothes are lost, and the water is complete. The black obscene clothes and the white skin covering them are two extremes of color, creating a dizzying visual impact that made Zhang Hanqing open his eyes involuntarily.
“You are my queen,” he murmured. In the palace, on the queen's phoenix chariot, he would accompany the queen to spend an unforgettable spring night, oh, no, to show off his prostitution in the daytime.
"There's someone here" Was it the sound coming from her throat, or did it only happen in her head? But as light as a gnat.
At this moment, it was impossible for her to utter a complete sentence, but given the chance, she might not dare to call someone - she knew that no one in this country could stop this man's actions, except himself. Anyone coming over would do nothing but ruin her reputation.
“And it’s impossible for anyone to come over. How could there be any loopholes in the affairs arranged by Zhang Hanqing himself?
Since we are destined to sacrifice, then the sacrifice must be more meaningful. At this moment, Wanrong saw Zhang Hanqing's strong muscles. Over the years, he has never stopped exercising. His good health is rare among senior officials of the same age and class.
There has never been a man around Wanrong with such well-developed androgens - not even one with androgens, so even a subconscious glance made her heart flutter.
When Zhang Hanqing showed his last perfection, Wanrong closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look at it. Theoretically, this palace was only owned by Puyi as her husband, but it had never been used; she had only heard about it with a shy smile before the wedding. Now, this was the first time she saw this living thing exist.
Her crimson face made her particularly charming, and Zhang Hanqing felt drunk.
When Tingtao Xiaokou was completely captured, Wanrong wanted to die. She is a queen and has a distinguished family background, but she is being played with by a man and is unable to resist. After today, she would not be able to see the emperor again, or even anyone else. When she thought about her reputation being ruined and her people being humiliated, she wished she could die immediately to avoid being bullied by this man.
But Zhang Hanqing seemed to have penetrated her thoughts. Although his movements were firm but very gentle, he did not forget to take the time to kiss her lips again in his busy schedule: "Now, treat me as your emperor. From now on, I want you to taste The joy of being a woman will also allow your family to receive better treatment - definitely more than what that useless emperor gave you!"
"Will you let the emperor and his subjects go?"
When she was confused and obsessed, she could still remember to ask this question. Kind-hearted woman, at this time, how can you believe a man’s mouth!
"That's up to you." Zhang Hanqing just responded casually and went back to his big business.
Wanrong, who has no master, can only try to persuade herself to believe his words. During this period of dating, Zhang Hanqing took her to almost all kinds of high-profile banquets and met with countless famous figures in the history of the Republic of China. On these occasions, Zhang Hanqing was the shining center of attention, and she also received considerable care and respect.
She could feel Zhang Hanqing’s power: even though the respect of many of them might not be sincere, they still had to show a sincerity of respect.
This is enough, at least she, the queen, did not even enjoy the basic respect before. Since the wedding, the political arena has changed several times, but no one cared about the little emperor who was trapped in the Forbidden City until that time when he was about to be kicked out. If the emperor is like this, let alone the queen?
Staying with Zhang Hanqing, although she endured the emperor's gossip, was a rare relaxation for her who was also in a cage. Just like a moth throwing itself into flames, although she knew that one day would come sooner or later, she would rather not believe it or not think about it——Zhang Hanqing had already expressed to her what he meant to her.
She often comforted herself by feeding a tiger, and used this to make herself calm mentally before facing the Young Marshal's invitation. Maybe, deep down in her heart, she was just using this as a cover?
Then, a bloody incident occurred in the empty Kunning Hall.
After succeeding, Zhang Hanqing began to feel pity for her, because her reaction convinced him that she was a pure queen. He stopped, letting her body relax slightly, and at the same time said softly with a smile: "You are my woman now, Queen."? (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)have expressed.

Chapter 787 Domineering
??
After the passion subsided, Wanrong slowly sat up: "I am an unfaithful woman," she said.
Zhang Hanqing looked at the bright red color on the sheets with great pride: "In my heart, you are synonymous with chastity." He hugged Wanrong from behind: "From now on, you are my queen, and I will not allow anyone to touch you. ," His voice became stern: "Not even Puyi!"
Wanrong shook her head miserably. Not only did she lose her virginity this time, she also lost her courage to live. Carrying the dignity of her tribe and the royal family, she could no longer face such a thing, except death.
The idea of ??a chaste woman and a martyr woman has been promoted for two thousand years, not to mention she was the queen of the Qing Dynasty!
This made Zhang Hanqing a little uneasy. Considering that the moral pressure on Wanrong might make her do something inappropriate, he said softly: "Tomorrow I will arrange for you to go back to your parents' home, and then I will go and give it to you myself." A decent explanation from my parents and family!”
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????. She has decided that she will seek death as long as it is convenient for her: either Bai Ling or Shenjing. Isn't that how Aunt Zhen Fei went to die in the first place? Unfortunately, when she was sentenced to death, she was pushed down in the name of avoiding being ravaged by the Eight-Nation Allied Forces.
However, Zhang Hanqing's stern words made her immediately give up the idea: "Don't do stupid things. Remember, there are people and relationships. If you don't go, or if something else happens, I will turn my love for you into My hatred for you will make you regret forever why you didn’t listen to me! Puyi and your family will be with you!"
He blew into her ear: "Believe me, I will do what I say!"
Wanrong's heart trembled. Zhang Hanqing had fully understood her sense of responsibility to the family. For the sake of her family, she could not die with shame and could only live in this world. Her tears flowed out again: "Can't I die?"
"No! You are mine!" Zhang Hanqing said fiercely: "'On the shore of the land, is it the king's minister'. You are my queen, even if you die, you must ask for my consent!"
Wanrong shook her head: "I am the empress of the Qing Dynasty, and this status will not change until I die." She whispered while putting on her clothes.
It’s true that despite going through unbearable scenes such as having an affair with a guard, taking drugs, etc., until her tragic death in official history, she was the queen of Manchukuo in name only.
But Zhang Hanqing doesn’t believe in this evil. When she meets him in this time and space, her destiny will definitely change. Previously, in order to have a taste of the emperor's enjoyment mentality, he retained the crown of Queen Wanrong. Now, having fulfilled his long-cherished wish, he needs to give Wanrong a new identity. Not to mention her beauty and aristocratic temperament, even with this happy day, he had to arrange a proper life for her.
He raised her face and said, "Really? After the National Day, I will let Puyi leave the palace and let the Qing Dynasty completely turn this page. As for you, you will officially divorce the emperor and then become my full-time queen."
Wanrong was horrified: "How can you do this?" Divorce, a new term that came into existence after the Republic of China, could actually happen to her? However, according to Zhang Hanqing's words, this matter must be true.
Zhang Hanqing showed a pure smile: "For you! I can do anything!"
Tang Yiying broke into a cold sweat while listening to the conversation between the two. This young marshal is really brave. After playing with someone else's wife, he even chases someone out of the house. His methods are really sharp! Fortunately, I have the means, otherwise I would have suffered the same fate as the Aixinjueluo family, and I would probably have to beg for food in the future.
She deliberately shouted with a loud voice: "Young Marshal, Madam, have you finished chatting?"
The blush on Wanrong's face has not subsided yet, and she blushed again after hearing this. Tang Yiying's words seemed to have something else in mind! But Zhang Hanqing said carelessly: "We haven't had enough chat today, let's continue chatting tomorrow - you've had a hard time squatting under the window sill, why don't you come in and take a rest?"
This girl secretly listens to the room and pretends I don’t know? The slight gasp just now had given you away. Although I am busy, my ears are not idle either, and I am very familiar with your voice.
Tang Yiying came straight in with a smile, but Wanrong said "Ah" and hurriedly tried to hide the sheets. I was so busy talking that I forgot to clean it up - there were still heavy marks left by the two of them on it. But Tang Yiying had already come in, so she could only subconsciously block the mark with her body.
Tang Yiying is very generous, and I have seen it for a long time. She is also very relaxed in front of Zhang Hanqing. She looked at Wanrong with a smile as she hurriedly tried to cover it up: "Is this necessary? We're all sleeping together, what are you doing hiding it?" She walked past Wanrong and saw the bright red mark: "Oh, I heard that the queen is a virgin, but it turned out that It’s still true!”
The only thing more embarrassing than being caught having sex is being caught red-handed. Wanrong experienced two consecutive humiliations in one day and was speechless.Come. After Tang Yiying's intervention, her thoughts of seeking death were completely gone, replaced by a deep sense of shame.
However, Tang Yiying kept saying things that were not shocking, and even asked Zhang Hanqing with a shameful face: "How does the queen taste? You have been thinking about tasting this all day long, and now that you have got what you wanted, will you get anything more than others?"
Zhang Hanqing pointed his hand, and the blood stains on the bed behind Wanrong suddenly appeared before his eyes: "The queen has more of this than you."
Tang Yiying blushed for a rare moment, and Wanrong was so ashamed that only Zhang Hanqing smiled proudly.
Dressed neatly, Zhang Hanqing Shi Shiran walked out of Dongnuan Pavilion. He waved his sleeves and did not take away a single cloud. He no longer had the arrogance he had when he first arrived, his face was calm, and he became a gentle and gentle young marshal again. However, if someone is interested and takes a closer look, they can smell the faint scent of the Queen coming from his body.
Zhang Hanqing was soft-spoken after sleeping with someone else's wife. He lifted Pu Yi's wall and said to him in a pleasant manner: "I'll tell you again, be your last emperor, treat the queen well, don't have random thoughts, and don't be used by others. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to guarantee your peace for the rest of your life!"
Naturally, Puyi, who was under the eaves, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "That's right, that's right. I will be an emperor well and I won't have random thoughts." After experiencing the scene just now, he never said "I" again, and he kept talking. "I" doesn't stop.
Listening to his perfunctory words, Zhang Hanqing knew that there was no chance. This kid would not shed tears until he saw the coffin. He sighed and said: "Now, I still have to use the queen to do public relations things. You should not interfere too much with her travels, especially not to treat her like this again. Otherwise, if I know, you will hit her with your left hand." She, I will chop off your left hand; kick her with the right leg, I will chop off your right leg. If anyone in the palace is rude to the queen, I will kill him all over the house! Do you remember?"
He also wanted to say, "Use your cock, and I'll turn you into a eunuch." But he just thought that he was the real husband in theory, so he endured it. Anyway, he didn't worry about him cuckolding him.
Puyi nodded sincerely: "I remember."
Zhang Hanqing nodded, feeling proud in his heart: The last emperor, I am playing with him like a grandson, asking who in the world can do it? But if his grandson had this kind of virtue, would he still be so proud? ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 788 A good son-in-law comes to your door
no sooner said than done. As a good son-in-law of Manchuria, Zhang Hanqing is not someone who refuses to admit his fault as soon as he finishes eating. Early the next morning, he sent someone to the palace to ask the queen to return to her natal family; around noon, he would personally visit Wanrong's natal family.
???????????????? In the former Qing Dynasty, his identity as a bandit kid could not even get close to the Rong family; now that times have changed, he has become the master of the country, and the entire Rong family is about to follow suit.
Wanrong’s father, Rong Yuan, was originally a minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he came from a very wealthy family. As the saying goes, "if a new tree is painted in a new house, this person must be in the Ministry of Internal Affairs." This reflects the explosive nature of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Those who work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have always had a good job with great wealth.
"It's a pity that the good times did not last long. The Qing Emperor abdicated, and these ministers also lost their jobs and went to make their own livelihoods. Without salaries and relying solely on their capital, many princes and queens went bankrupt. Fortunately, Rongyuan managed his family well and started a business with some savings, traveling between Beijing and Tianjin.
Over the years, the status of the royal family has plummeted, and the queen's family has only given them their old glory, without bringing any tangible benefits. The new generation of national capitalists doesn't care whether you are a relative of the emperor or a relative of the country. The industries controlled by the major drag groups are not comparable to those of the royal relatives who have just entered the industry. Fortunately, various industries are in desperate need of development, and Rongyuan can still gain something, so there is no problem in maintaining a family's livelihood.
But the gap is huge. The once illustrious family has now been reduced to businessmen who act based on people's faces, and has completely lost its identity politically. If it weren't for the fact that a queen was born in the family and had a certain influence among the Manchus, the family would have declined sooner or later.
The eldest son Runliang died young, otherwise he would have been able to help him establish a family; the younger son Runqi is only 14 years old and studying in a school in Beijing, and seems to have nothing to praise. Over time, the task of reviving the family was entrusted to him, and Rong Yuan was filled with uneasiness.
But suddenly one day, the Di'anmen Street in Dongcheng, where his home was located, was suddenly crowded with military and police officers, especially Mao'er Hutong, which was heavily guarded. Although people can walk without hindrance, experienced people know that this is the rhythm of the country's candidates at least "official level" or above.
??The Chairman of the State, the Chairman of the Military Commission, the Party Chairman, the Chairman of the National Assembly, the Prime Minister, and a few people who serve as members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the People's Party. Who could they be?
But no matter who it is, it doesn’t matter what it has to do with the Rong family? None of my ancestors had anything to do with this gang of bandits in the Northeast. These high officials were all originally from Liaoning.
However, when tighter security guards were placed at the door of Rong's house, Rong Yuan felt that something was wrong. Based on his many years of experience as an official, he has a good understanding of a series of official positions after the Republic of China, especially after the People's Party took control of Beijing. On the outside were armed police officers from the Ministry of Public Security's Security Bureau, and several officers claiming to be from the Central Guard Bureau knocked on his door and told him: Congress Chairman Wu Marshal and the People's Party Marshal were coming to visit.
This huge honor made the Rong family quickly mobilize. The presence of two national heavyweights was a once-in-a-lifetime honor! But their efforts were unnecessary, as security officers were well trained to take over their jobs and could only do what they were asked to do. This kind of pomp is no different from the emperor's personal visit.
“On the contrary, the queen returned to her parents’ home first.
The officers under martial law allowed the Queen's carriage to pass without hindrance, and they obviously had orders. This made Wanrong's worries even more intense: the young marshal really came to "visit" her parents' home.
"After the young marshal left yesterday, Puyi for the first time never asked about her affairs again, which made Wanrong, who had been worried about how to speak, breath a sigh of relief. She didn't know what to do when something like this happened, and a weak woman shouldn't be responsible for it.
After that scene, Wanrong's mentality began to change. For Zhang Hanqing, she had a kind of hatred at first. It was him who ruined her reputation and made her unable to hold her head high in her heart. But in the dead of night, she suddenly felt that she couldn't hate her anymore.
Zhang Hanqing’s handsomeness and mature demeanor are almost every woman’s favorite; his roughness and gentleness make her experience the joy of being a woman; his status and fame make every woman long for him. In the beginning, the Rong family made her their queen, wasn't it just to gain such honor and the benefits it would bring? This is a woman's life!
So it was natural for her to leave the palace and go home at the "invitation", and she couldn't help it.
Her parents were very surprised by her arrival, which had never happened before. According to royal family regulations, the emperor must approve the visit several months in advance so that everyone can be prepared. Although it is the Republic of China, why is the pomp and pomp that should be there gone?
"But etiquette comes from everyone. When everyone falls back to normal, those vulgar etiquette will no longer be so particular. The family members chatted for a while, and Hengxiang, who was more like a real mother than a real mother, was about to ask the young marshal about the purpose of his trip, but found that his daughter's face turned red.
&negative opportunities, thus leading the banner people to better integrate into the new society. "
After the Qing emperor abdicated, some former "human masters" who were unwilling to surrender their power have been a source of instability in the country. For example, the fact that "Zhang Xun's Restoration" can make so many people jump out is proof. The fact that Puyi's wedding can make so many people in the society rush to offer treasures also shows the influence of imperial power. And in official history, Puyi later became the Emperor of Manchuria, which even further proves that the war started. There is still some market for the guise of imperial power.
“In this case, why not take advantage of the good opportunity of the congressional election to win over and divide some people?
Of course, taking this opportunity to give some benefits to the Rong family will not only allow the queen to see her, give her some comfort, but also allow the Rong family to reduce the mental pressure on Wanrong. After all, strong fortresses are breached from within.
The absurd incident with Wanrong was that he forcibly invaded her body despite her psychological resistance. Although she had some reactions later, it was a normal instinct. However, the real conquest is to let her accept herself wholeheartedly and make herself her "emperor". All this has a long way to go. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 789 Long Face
Rong Yuan somewhat believed in Zhang Hanqing's words, but also somewhat disbelieved them.
In terms of status among the Manchus, because of the Queen's relationship, it is indeed rising. But she couldn't bear to be born in troubled times, and the title of the last queen was not popular in the Republic of China government: Prince Chun Zaifeng, who was more powerful and more prestigious than him, and the biological father of the current Emperor Xuantong, was thanking guests behind closed doors, and he alone What kind of virtue and ability does the fallen father-in-law have to hope for a comeback?
But Zhang Hanqing’s words moved him a little. He has always been dissatisfied with all the propaganda about the power of Congress. Will this kind of institution, supported by the government and the military, surpass the government and become the country's largest legislative body, thereby constraining the government? Unthinkable.
The history of what the previous governments did to gain control of the first Congress, which caused turmoil in China for more than ten years, is still vivid in our minds. It was only three years ago that Sun Yat-sen announced that it was no longer appropriate to use the name of "protecting the law". , and then another nearly three-year congressional hiatus. One can imagine how difficult it is to establish a real parliament in China! How fragile is that MP’s seat!
But the signal to decentralize power was made by the People’s Party itself. In any case, being able to obtain such a seat is quite good for him: whether it is useful or not, it is a good opportunity and a sign to move closer to the People's Party. Zhang Hanqing has extended an olive branch to him. If he doesn't grasp it, he will be a political imbecile.
It seems that the title of "Emperor's Father" has been put into the garbage heap. If he changes his title, it would be a good way to keep the family's prosperity.
Considering that your family is the benchmark of "national relatives", will it have any impact on the queen? Moreover, would accepting this proposal mean betrayal of the royal family? After all, the Qing Dynasty was overthrown by the Republic of China, even though this Republic of China was not that Republic of China.
He said with some hesitation: "I am getting older. I have never done anything beneficial to the country in my life. After the changes of the Republic of China, I no longer have the intention to participate in political affairs. There are many Manchu nobles, including the young marshal. Why do you want to find me?"
Zhang Hanqing secretly shouted in his heart: "If it weren't for the Queen's reputation, who would have nothing to do with you? Isn't this for the sake of easy travel in the future?"
A smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Rong is so humble. The country needs people like him who can not only serve the society but also maintain a modest and prudent work attitude. There are many nobles in the Qing Dynasty, but people like Mr. Rong are sensible and sensible." There are not many people with prestige. We use the banner of sir to promote that Manchu and Han are one family and build a beautiful China together."
After what happened yesterday, this is no longer a family.
It’s hard for Rong Yuan to refuse: everyone praises him to the sky, so he has to know good from evil. However, it happened too suddenly. What he couldn't understand was that there were many Manchus who were more important and influential than him. How could the young marshal find him?
Years of political training naturally made him think of Puyi: "Sincerity is highly valued by the two old and young marshals, Rong is proud of it. However, when it comes to winning over bannermen, wouldn't it be better to have one of them now?" Before he took office, he had already put himself in the court.
Wu Junsheng became interested: "Who is it?"
"The current emperor. If the emperor raises his arms, what else can the Eight Banners say? Aren't they just going to follow the emperor's lead?"
Zhang Hanqing was shocked. Yes, just thinking about "reforming" the queen, I forgot to let the emperor receive an education.
In history, Puyi committed such a serious crime. After being imprisoned for ten years, Mao Zedong even made him a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. This is a judgment call! Considering the political symbolic significance, he can be put on the table decades later. It has only been ten years since the Qing Dynasty fell. If he is used properly, this chess piece will be quite useful.
He immediately became interested: Senators and Representatives are actual duties, and he must not be allowed to do so. How about making him an honorary senator? Treating him favorably like this shows the care for the old and young of the Qing Dynasty, and also represents the attitude towards the entire royal family. There is also an explanation internationally, right? The next step is to expel him from the palace. Since he has become an honorary senator, he is not suitable to live in the palace.
Why on earth can’t honorary senators live in the palace? He didn't have to think too hard, there was always a way. He nodded and said, "Mr. Yongrong is indeed right. We can hire the emperor to serve as an honorary senator in the Senate."
Originally it was just a whim to make the queen look good, but it inadvertently solved a difficult problem: As a "holy place" in the hearts of the people, what does it mean that the palace is always occupied by Puyi and others? There are no two suns in the sky and no two masters on the earth. Zhongnanhai is the center and symbol of China’s power! Just driving the emperor out of the palace would cause some psychological turmoil in society. Now it's fine, everything is solved.
Wu Junsheng also thought it was feasible: "I am the chairman of the National Assembly. If Puyi enters the National Assembly, wouldn't he be under my jurisdiction?"??
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Thinking that at the end of the day, he is still able to take care of the emperor, is he not too great an emperor? Feeling proud, he immediately agreed and said, "This is a good idea." "
As for what’s good about it, I don’t know. Anyway, I just follow the Young Marshal’s lead.
Rong Yuan was extremely happy when he saw that his idea was readily adopted. It has been rumored for a long time that the government of the Republic of China was going to drive Puyi out of the palace. It would not be that his son-in-law, the emperor, would be living in poverty, but his original prominent status would be lost to everyone.
Forget about anything else, like other princes and ministers, I would not hold on to Qian Qing's thigh, but it would be a pain for my daughter.
Now, Puyi will have a decent status, and his daughter will not be hindered, right?
Everyone got what they needed, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. Then Zhang Hanqing noticed the child next to Rong Yuan: "Is this Mr. Runqi? I heard Wan Rong said that he is really cute!"
Rong Yuan only has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Runliang, unfortunately died of acute appendicitis last year because his family did not believe in Western medicine and delayed diagnosis and treatment. Only the 12-year-old son, Runqi, was raised at his grandmother's house since he was one year old. Now. The sister who loved him the most returned home, and he was brought back.
A rare distinguished guest came to visit, and Rong Yuan also brought him with him, mainly because he wanted to gain acquaintance with him.
Hearing Zhang Hanqing’s compliment, Rong Yuan felt a surge of love in his heart: Whose kid would you love? However, it felt a bit strange that he mentioned Wanrong instead of the Queen so affectionately. In formal occasions, no matter who mentions Wanrong, they call her "Queen"!
But this thought only passed by in a flash. Who is the young marshal? He is now the most powerful person in China. The honor and disgrace of the emperor can be decided by his thoughts. What's more, does he need to respect a queen so much?
He smiled and pretended to be troubled and said: "It's Quanzi. He doesn't seek to make progress in his studies now, he plays all day long, and he doesn't know how to support the Rong family's family business in the future? Everyone, old and young, is still counting on him. Young Marshal If you praise him like this, don't try to hurt him!"
"It is a Chinese tradition to have a godson in the human world, and it is the king of heaven and the nobles, it is all like this.
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said to him sincerely: "Children of this age have always been very naughty. When I was this old, he was much more gentle than me. Later, my father really saw that I was naughty, so he hired I got some advice from Mr. Jin Xihou, the most famous scholar in Liaoning, and I have lived up to his teachings. If Mr. is interested, I can arrange for Runqi to enter No. 2 Middle School, No. 4 Middle School, Chongshi, and Kongde. After all, these schools have famous teachers. I think Runqi is smart and perseverant, and as long as he has good conditions, he will definitely have great potential in the future."
No. 4 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School are both public schools, while Chongshi and Kongde are private schools, which are second to none in Beijing.
Like the No. 4 Middle School, it was established very early. Its predecessor was the "Shuntian Academy" in the late Qing Dynasty. It was a first-class famous school until the official history; the No. 2 Middle School was formerly the left-wing religious school of the Eight Banners of Manchuria;
Kongde Middle School later became No. 27 Middle School. Its original location was the Qing Dynasty clan mansion, and its honorary principal was Cai Yuanpei. As for Chongshi Middle School, it was run by the church and was quite good.
The reason why Zhang Hanqing was able to understand this despite his busy schedule is because several of his children have gone to elementary school one after another and they have put a lot of effort into choosing a school.
Unlike today’s school selection, which requires a school district real estate certificate, household registration and other messy things, his school selection is really a school choice——with his background, which school to choose is not the glory of the school? He really is choosing a school!
It is convenient, safe and has a good academic style. One or two officials must not be born because of his status, so the public No. 4 middle school is the first choice. As for Huang Wanqing's two children, it's not his turn to worry: they are still young!
In that era, it was not easy to enter such a school, at least for a down-and-out noble like Rong Yuan in the new era. Zhang Hanqing's kindness really solved a major worry of Rong Yuan. He hurriedly thanked Zhang Hanqing: "Rong could only be grateful for the young marshal's thoughtfulness, so he accepted it with gratitude."
"It's just strange that the young marshal suddenly showed great courtesy to him. It seemed unnecessary: ??with his current status, as long as he ascended to the top and shouted, wouldn't the Eight Banners disciples obediently follow his baton? Showing courtesy for nothing, committing adultery or stealing, what kind of medicine is sold in the young marshal's gourd?
At this time, his wife came into the hall in person, greeted Wu Junsheng, Zhang Hanqing and their entourage cordially, and then greeted them attentively for a light meal. Since you are a guest, the host should treat guests the way they should. Food is the most important thing for the people, and the traditional Chinese saying "Have you eaten?" is also a popular saying among upper-class people.
Zhang Hanqing agreed generously: "Then I'll bother Madam."
Wu Junsheng said with a smile: "Anyway, I'm eating everywhere today, so I just want to be annoying to Mr. Rong."
But Rong Yuan didn’t expect the old and young marshals to agree so simply. Originally, according to various legends, for the sake of safety, these state-level leaders were very particular about their food, clothing, housing and transportation, and would not easily accept banquets on unfamiliar occasions.
So he was overjoyed. This meal seemed like nothing, but it had extraordinary significance when told about it: no matter what the actual situation was, the outside world would think that he had a good personal relationship with the old and young marshals. Whether it's borrowing money or pretending to be a tiger, it will make him happy in many places in the future.
In an instant, the entire Rong Mansion became busy. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)I'm just a foodie, so let's just be annoying to Mr. Rong. "

Chapter 790 That veil
Rong Mansion was originally a relatively ordinary residence. After Wanrong was granted the title of "Queen", Rong Yuan was granted the title of third-class Chengen Gong. As a result, Gaorong Mansion was upgraded to the "Chengen Gong" Mansion. While her husband and son were receiving distinguished guests, Wanrong was questioned carefully by Hengxiang when she was free.
Even though the Rong family is open-minded, Hengxiang and Wanrong have the same affection as mother and daughter, and they always talk about everything. Hengxiang is someone who has been there before, and Wanrong's various signs bring her closer to the truth.
She has already dismissed the servants before. No matter what the truth is, the queen's reputation is very important. Hengxiang has long been surprised by today's unusual guest, not to mention Wanrong's behavior is also very abnormal.
how to say? Wanrong was very confused.
There is no need to hide this matter. They are all members of the mother's family, and they are both prosperous and disadvantaged. Wanrong decided to tell everything. She slowly lowered her head and said hesitantly: "My daughter and the young marshal have a physical relationship" Before she could finish her words, her ears were already red and tears were streaming down her face.
Hengxiang was shocked: It turned out that this legend turned out to be true! Once the dignity of the royal family and the innocence of the Rong family are known to the outside world, what a shocking change it will be! At this moment, she was helpless and felt like the sky was falling. She could no longer say a word.
Once this kind of thing is exposed, the Rong family will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever! All the previous favors will rebound a hundred times, leaving them breathless!
Wanren tolerated her shame and recounted every scene of her interactions with Zhang Hanqing. Naturally, Zhang Hanqing used force and she really couldn't stop him. When she thought about having to endure the pressure of losing her reputation, she burst into tears.
Knowing that Wanrong was forced to do so, Hengxiang felt a little better. That is, how could the dignified descendant of the royal family of Dingjun and the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Internal Affairs do such a thing that is degrading to the family tradition!
But the mood only eased a little, because the matter was far from over - the instigator even "bullied" him to the door. It turns out that the young marshal came to visit today to fulfill his "promise" to Wanrong!
I heard that for her sake, the young marshal even insulted her in front of the emperor, asked her to divorce the emperor, and even threatened her with a full Rong family. He dared to do all kinds of shocking things!
The matter has reached this point and is irreversible. If Zhang Hanqing stopped entangled, Hengxiang was even prepared to bury this incident in the coffin forever and pretend it never happened. But, is it possible? What can they do if the young marshal keeps beating them up? In the end, paper cannot contain the fire!
Hengxiang, who has always been praised as "smart, capable, daring, decisive and full of wisdom", encountered the biggest problem in her life. If you open up and tell the outside world, it is a dead word; if the matter is exposed, it is still a dead word.
what to do?
etc. The young marshal actually told her that he wanted her to divorce the emperor? This is a very important signal: the young commander likes her! I want to keep it as my own for a long time!
If this were the case, if we could really leave the emperor's wings and take refuge with the young marshal, would it be a happy situation for everyone? Anyway, according to her daughter's statement, she and the emperor were just in the name of marriage, and she and the young marshal were actually husband and wife. If you encounter difficulties in this process, let the young commander solve it!
The Republic of China had reached this point, and she no longer had any hope for the restoration of the Qing Dynasty. In this case, why should the daughter be a living widow and spend time with the emperor until he dies?
No! It will be good for my daughter and the family to follow the young marshal! She didn't know why she had such an idea, but at that moment, the idea filled her mind so strongly that she asked in a low voice, "Hong'er, do you like the young commander?"
Mu Hong is the Chinese character for Wanrong.
Wanrong stayed for a while. For the past two days, she had only been focused on shame, sadness, sorrow and fear, but she had forgotten this experience! I like him? This man took away my virginity and ruined my lifelong innocence. How could I like him? !
However, after four years of sexless marriage, every bit of happiness she had with her cowardly husband was shattered when she met Zhang Hanqing. His erudition, momentum, handsomeness, fame, and even violence made her worth recalling. Especially the moment she surrendered her whole body to him, his warm and generous chest, strong muscles and all kinds of care for her made her unable to hate him.
It’s just that we met at such a late age, it’s fate that plays tricks on people! In this life, she can only belong to the emperor. Years of education and influence have made her destined to live a life of humiliation in order to preserve the dignity of the royal family and the reputation of the Rong family. She didn't dare to ask for anything else.
Cheng'en Gong's Mansion is divided into two roads, the west road leads to the fourth courtyard, and the main house is Wanrong's residence; the east road leads to the third courtyard, and there is a rockery and pool in the backyard, and there is a ancestral hall in the east. In the backyard of the Rong family, Wanrong and her mother were talking quietly.
???
He was looking forward to what Wanrong would say. Will she say "fine"? Or "Thanks to the young marshal"? Or is it a polite "Thank you for taking care of me" or something like that? He thought narrowly that if he said this, it would mean that he was still very "meritorious".
Wanrong suddenly blushed, but luckily no one paid attention to it, or thought that this was the proper posture for a lady who was deeply educated in traditional traditions. After all, being shy is the beauty of traditional Chinese women. However, a huge sense of shame hit her, and Wanrong suddenly became uncontrollably excited.
"No," she said lightly. Thinking about her mother's persuasion just now, she tried to calm down her emotions, accompanied by the violent rise and fall of her shoulders.
After saying these words, she felt an indescribable sense of relief.
She is a woman with traditional education and a majestic appearance, but she is being trampled under the feet of the man in front of her. Do you still have to force a smile when your innocence has been tarnished? Although she was powerless to resist, for the sake of her reputation, she needed to tell him clearly: She didn't want to!

Chapter 791 Warmth
Rongyuan was a little surprised by Wanrong's rude attitude. In any case, Zhang Hanqing was a young commander of the Feng clan and a reinventor of the Republic of China. As the last queen, where is the confidence of her daughter? Besides, it’s not like the Qing Emperor abdicated at the hands of Zhang Hanqing!
However, the young marshal's attitude is more worthy of consideration. He didn't look dissatisfied. Instead, he smiled and asked harmlessly: "I wonder why your Majesty is not good? If you need Xueliang's help, don't mind it!"
Wanrong felt bitter for a while. She wanted to say something, but Hengxiang reacted quickly and gently held her hand. In front of her husband and Wu Junsheng, she hoped that this matter would be boring to her stomach until she died.
Hengxiang could tell that Zhang Hanqing was not afraid that this matter would be spread. Also, after commanding thousands of troops, he can still be constrained by women's affairs?
But Runqi said happily: "If Sister Queen is unhappy, she should tell Brother Zhang. He is the most famous hero in Beijing, and there is nothing he can't do!"
After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhang Hanqing insisted that Runqi call him eldest brother, not "young marshal" in a business-like manner. Runqi was young and ignorant of these scenes, so he naturally "followed the good".
In the hearts of young people, Zhang Hanqing is an extraordinary existence: he took charge of the army and entered politics at a young age, and achieved his current status in a bloody storm. To this day, the legend of his clever escape still remains in Beijing. Of course, there are inevitably some sexy stories among them, but when heroes match beauties, some side stories are even more legendary. This is an inevitable advantage for men in a patriarchal society.
Zhang Hanqing was very satisfied with the compliment from his future brother-in-law. He patted Runqi on the head and said, "Runqi still understands that future achievements will be limitless, haha."
Rong Yuan hurriedly smiled and said: "I have received the Young Marshal's good advice. If Quanzi can be as prepared as the Young Marshal, it will be a blessing to the Rong family." If he gets support from Zhang Hanqing, it will be the biggest challenge Runqi has ever encountered in his life. The noble man is far stronger than the emperor's brother-in-law.
Zhang Hanqing suddenly laughed loudly. Everyone was confused. Only Wu Junsheng was familiar with him and knew his wild and unconstrained thinking. They didn't know where he was thinking. Rong Yuan recalled his words and deeds, and found that there was nothing inappropriate about them, so he hesitated and asked, "I wonder what the young commander is laughing at? It will make everyone happy if you tell me."
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "I suddenly remembered a joke. Mr. Rong's mouthful of 'dog's' bits reminded me of a public case."
Seeing that the young marshal was about to tell a joke, Rong Yuan laughed and said, "What public case? Rong is willing to take the test."
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "There once was a warlord in the northwest. He once brought his son to visit the then head of state, and the head of state's son happened to be there. The head of state introduced his son to him politely and said, 'This is the son of a dog.'
This warlord didn’t have much education. When it was his turn to introduce his son, he thought: The head of state’s son already called himself ‘Quinzi’. How could he dare to entrust his elders and call himself ‘Quinzi’? It was because of his quick wit that he casually said, "This is my donkey's day." Hahaha. "
This joke tells a true story between the later Northwest warlord Ma Bufang and the leader of the Republic of China Chiang Kai-shek. Although it exists in official history, now that Xiao Zhang is the master of the matter, I am afraid that Ma Bufang will never have a chance to tell it, and Chiang Kai-shek will never have a chance to hear it. .
Wu Junsheng and Zhang Zongchang were already grinning from ear to ear. They are rough guys, and these vulgar and vulgar words are just what they like. On the other hand, Rong Yuan, a man with a long family background, how could he listen to such dirty jokes, let alone his wife and daughter? He laughed twice and acted as an audience.
Hengxiang pretended to pack her things, while Wanrong blushed and wanted to walk away, but she didn't want to be too obvious.
Seeing Wanrong's blushing face and "future mother-in-law" being at a loss what to do, Zhang Hanqing felt very proud. Historically, dirty jokes are only fun where women are present. This has been proven by practice, and it has been proven again today.
He did it on purpose. How can you show tenderness without showing a hint of domineering?
Although the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, with everyone’s agreement, these discords quickly dissipated, and the atmosphere reappeared in a cheerful and cheerful manner. After getting over the initial embarrassment, Rong Yuan came up with a summary: "Young Marshal, what you said is too much and not enough."
Zhang Hanqing’s “visit” to the Queen this time was more like a family affair. Wu Junsheng also glanced at Wanrong with a smile and exclaimed in his heart: "Xiao Liuzi's eyes are very poisonous."
Knowing the purpose of his trip, he greeted Wanrong with a smile and said with a smile: "It's not like that in the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, I, Wu Datou, would have to kowtow to the Empress."
Wu Yuan, Wan Rong, and Hengxiang accompanied them with a smile and said they dared not to dare.
The few people were chatting in a lively mood, and Wu Junsheng couldn't help but show off a little. He recalled the time when he met Puyi just after entering Beijing.power! Use force to destroy everything: her dignity, reputation, and psychology. He had conquered her physically and, to put it bluntly, physically as well.
But, when will her defenses be revealed?
??The traditional binding force of family, husband, and the outside world needs to be broken. Wouldn't it be more fun that way?
Zhang Hanqing looked at Wanrong with a smile, and suddenly felt excited in his heart. The great man said, "Fighting with heaven is endless fun; fighting with earth is endless fun; fighting with people is endless fun." If you don't put yourself in it, you won't be able to appreciate the ambition within it.
He has almost taken possession of her under the eyes of her emperor husband. If her family is allowed to acquiesce in the relationship between the two of them, will it make her guarded?
Honestly speaking, Zhang Hanqing is confident that he can settle the Rong family. Historically, the Rong family was not worthy of praise: after Wanrong entered the palace, her natal family received endless glory, but when she became terminally ill, no one in her natal family was willing to adopt her, and she died silently.
As long as he exerts strong force and gives enough kindness, I don't believe that the Rong family will be indifferent to his attitude for the sake of family interests. As long as they remain silent, they can let the helpless Wan Rong be at his mercy. Woman, your name is weak! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Chapter 793 You want me to use force
??
Sure enough, Wanrong stopped calling for help, but the struggle on her hands became more intense, which was very boring.
The most reliable way for a man to conquer a woman is to conquer her heart. Zhang Hanqing actually looked down on that kind of shameless behavior for the sake of one's own desires. Isn't it interesting that you and I are willing to do it?
Therefore, with other women, Zhang Hanqing definitely followed the principle of mutual love and mutual consent before having further relationships. But for Wanrong, these principles were all invalidated.
Perhaps it was his two thousand years of awe of imperial power that led to his great reversal. In short, he believed that conquering the queen, even by force, could represent the victory of the entire struggle for imperial power. Although the Revolution of 1911 overthrew the imperial power, it still retained the nominal throne. So from his hands, let's completely trample the royal family under his feet!
It is not a good man to conquer a woman by force. If there is no other way, he would rather wait for her to follow him willingly. But he knew that this was impossible, etiquette and environment limited this possibility. Ten thousand years is too long, and he can't wait any longer.
Having experienced too many women, Wanrong is the one Zhang Hanqing hopes to conquer from the bottom of his heart and works the hardest, even to the extent of violence that he never despises.
He originally thought that with a spring breeze, he could get closer to her, but he didn't expect that the resistance would still be firm. Isn’t it said that once a woman commits herself to a man, she will accept her fate? Among the few women around her, she was the only exception!
Fortunately, Wanrong resisted but did not make a sound, which made him a lot more courageous - in fact, he also wanted to be famous, a romantic young marshal instead of a dirty marshal. If the outside world knew that he used force instead of emotion He would be ashamed if he came to get a woman.
Fortunately, he met Wanrong, who wanted more fame, which made his advantage of men's physical strength far superior to women's come to light. After some futile resistance, there was no part of Wanrong's body that was not touched by him. Even so, she still used her hands and feet together, using the last remaining strength to protect the vital points of her body. You can be humiliated physically, but your heart does not become submissive because of it.
Zhang Hanqing suddenly stopped moving. Under him was a woman as white as an onion. She was once beneath one person and above ten thousand people. Now, she wants to be that "under one person" beneath her! But, is it really interesting to be conquered by force?
Wanrong saw no movement for a long time. She didn't know what to do and couldn't help but open her eyes. However, what caught his eye was Zhang Hanqing's intoxicated smile: "I want you to help me take off my clothes, Queen."
What? Wanrong, who was ready to grit her teeth and accept the humiliation again, felt psychologically insulted. Being raped by him was understandable as a weak woman, but her nature changed when she helped him do such a thing. Who do you think I am? Wanrong gritted her teeth and said from her throat: "You can use force, but don't even think about insulting me!"
Zhang Hanqing teased: "You asked me to use force! I'm really here!" When he spoke, he spread his wings like an eagle, ready to fly, and he was about to land on her vitals, which scared Wan Ronghua. All tolerance is lost.
"Are you afraid that your parents will suddenly barge in? The longer we delay, the more mutterings will remain in their hearts. I don't know what Mr. Rong will think, but if he wants to touch me," Zhang Hanqing leaned over and said calmly explain:
"I'm afraid that Zhang Zongchang won't agree. The result is that if Mr. Rong disagrees or even resists, you will send your family to a dead end; if he agrees, why do you need to be naked for your family to see? So," He stared at her and smiled brightly: "The right answer is that you hurry up and listen to me!"
Wanrong is angry, this hateful man has completely ignored his behavior of forcing her, and even wants to actively cooperate with him! However, the longer you delay, it will really arouse the suspicion of the family, and maybe someone will come to find out. No matter who it is, if they see their own ugliness with their own eyes, they don’t have to live anymore.
At that time, if the family fought to protect their innocence, it was nothing more than throwing an egg against a stone; if unfortunately they acquiesced to this fact, then why should they expose themselves and embarrass their family? Wouldn't it be better to break teeth and swallow blood?
Yesterday, this hateful man used his husband to threaten him; today, he used his natal family to threaten him. However, if it is true as he said, once something bad happens, how will it end? It is true that as this man said, no matter what decision his father and others make, it will be very bad for himself and the Rong family!
My father originally asked me to be the queen in the hope that it would bring glory and benefits to the Rong family. But if I am not careful now, the Rong family will be in great disaster! Could it be that the curse of beauties having bad lives and beauties having many disputes should be applied to themselves?
Her heart was full of tears, and her tears were streaming down her face. In the past, Zhang Hanqing would have pounced on this woman and loved her. How could he still let her take the initiative? But this time, he was determined to be graceful.Hands——As long as she obeys, it is a sign that she has completely put aside her dignity and reputation and can devote herself wholeheartedly to her arms.
After all, men not only want to conquer the woman they like physically, but also psychologically!
As long as she opens her mouth and breaks through the psychological defense, the rest will fall into place.
In the living room, Rong Yuan glanced at his wife Heng Xiang uneasily. The young marshal and the queen went to her room to talk about things behind closed doors. It seemed a little inappropriate, and it also seemed to take a long time. Although the matter was confidential, there was no one around to take care of him. People would gossip if a man and a woman were alone in the same room. He wanted his wife to go take a look.
Hengxiang shook her head firmly. She already knew about her daughter and the young commander, and she was a close friend. She was afraid that something bad would happen. What could be worse?
Regarding Zhang Hanqing’s sudden high-profile visit to the Rong family, with a woman’s meticulousness and knowledge of the causes and consequences, she was sensitively aware that the young marshal was interested in his daughter and did not seem to be ready to let go. This was an important signal.
This is the door to recognize! Being able to do this despite the completely different status gap between the two parties is not only daring, but also sincere.
If this is the last way out for the Rong family, then accept your fate!
In the room, Zhang Hanqing showed rare sympathy and pity: "You are already mine, and this is a fact that no one can change. If I don't come today, will you be able to face the emperor and your parents calmly?"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? touched upon Wanrong's pain point, and couldn't help but resonate with her again. Zhang Hanqing struck while the iron was hot, quietly held her in his arms and comforted her, saying: "Your body has been given to me, and now I am your de facto husband. After a while, I will let you divorce the emperor, so that you can be married in name only." Get rid of him and be with me. So, there is no need to be so shy."
Wanrong shook her head: "Your Majesty will not divorce, and I will not cause uproar in the city. I have made a mistake once, and I will not make it a second time. Young Marshal, I beg you to let me go"
She was answered with a passionate kiss from Zhang Hanqing. His skills were proficient and in place. Wanrong held her breath and finally broke away from him. She gasped and said, "Young Marshal, I beg you not to hurt the emperor."
Zhang Hanqing put his arms around her waist again and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't hurt the emperor's people if I robbed his palace. For your sake, the emperor will still receive preferential treatment, and I won't do it for the time being." I drove him out of the palace. And as long as you listen to me, I guarantee that your Rong family will be prosperous and prosperous for the rest of your life - your father and brothers will all have a good future!"
His words hit her soft spot. After all, she didn’t have a deep relationship with her nominal husband, and she had committed herself to him and could never go back. Could she still be her queen with peace of mind?
Tang Yiying has already revealed their affair, and she definitely has no face to use her identity as a queen to see her again, and her big mouth will inevitably talk nonsense. When the time comes, the city will be in trouble, which will be a heavy blow to the family!
Without the young commander, she didn’t know if the Rong family could withstand the words of those old and young!
"I…"
Zhang Hanqing is an expert at seizing opportunities. Seeing her hesitation, he immediately approached her while the iron was hot. It is definitely impossible to expect her to take the initiative now. He is just putting pressure on her.
Now there is an opportunity to refuse the divorce, and she can only choose this way.
This time Wanrong obviously resisted much less vigorously. He was very familiar with her body.
Physically Wanrong was no match for him, and mentally she was defeated, so this time her fall was faster and more complete.
It was going to be another embarrassing experience. Listening to Zhang Hanqing's rustling undressing, Wanrong closed her eyes with a flushed face, determined to let him be frivolous.
But when she decided to accept her fate, Zhang Hanqing suddenly became a gentleman. He slowly unbuttoned the buttons one by one, as if admiring the texture and pattern of the clothes, or admiring its workmanship. In short, he was completely different from the monkey just now.
"Hurry up!" This is what she said in her heart. Every minute she stayed, she had to endure this embarrassment and worry more about someone breaking in, even though she knew no one would come in.
What she saw in her eyes was Zhang Hanqing’s obsessed smile. He was like a craftsman or painter browsing his masterpiece. It's too clever to be true, but it's more than enough to be fascinating. The days are still long, and he won't be as violent as the first time, which will bring a psychological shadow to her.
To conquer a woman, you still need her to agree psychologically.
Wanrong couldn’t explain what it felt like to be touched by a man other than her husband, and it was the second time. She wanted to scream, but it was like there was something blocked in her heart that made her unable to scream. The emperor, family, servants, Tang Yiying all kinds of mocking eyes flashed through her mind like a lantern. Before losing her mind, she wisely bit her lip again.
The machine that has been started will definitely rotate according to its own frequency, and Zhang Hanqing is not exempt from this rule. He was like a combination of a gentleman and a warrior, both careless and always able to grasp the rhythm just right, taking her flying into the sky with him. The closed door blocked the sound, but if you stood by the open window and listened, what came out was the squeaking of the bed and the imaginative breathing.
Not far away, on the lotus leaves in the pond, several butterflies and dragonflies were frightened, spread their wings, and gazed at the scenery here. On the tree outside the window, a newborn bird stubbornly learned to fly and sang in harmony with it. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The sea flashed past, and she wisely bit her lip again before losing her mind.

Chapter 794 Slap in the face
??
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As the elated young marshal, and the spring-breathed queen could come out slowly, everyone in the hall had already drank one cup of tea, during which Zhang Zongchang went to the toilet twice and peed twice.
No one asked what the young marshal and the queen talked about.
Wu Junsheng knew the purpose of his visit and ignored him; Zhang Zongchang knew the details of Zhang Hanqing, and judging from his appearance, he was excited about succeeding in his evil plot, so of course he would not tell it; Hengxiang saw a trace between Wanrong's eyebrows. When spring comes, I dare not ask in front of so many people; Rong Yuan is naturally even more difficult to ask.
So everyone ate, and it was a happy scene. Zhang Hanqing praised the Rong family and vowed to encourage Rong Yuan to participate in the election. When he thought about it, wasn't this something that could be easily accomplished? For the sake of Wanrong, and to add a little bit of sand to the future Congress filled with factions, he will support the Rong family in taking action.
No matter how the Rong family reacted after Zhang Hanqing left, their desire to cling to the young marshal's thick legs became more profound.
As a benchmark for Manchu survivors, Rong Yuan's running for the Senate is a signal in itself: the People's Party government allows the Manchus to play a role in politics - the political equality of all ethnic groups is not for nothing, even the feudal Emperor Kangxi and others can vigorously promote it-even though it is actually very deceptive, can't the People's Party still not be able to do this?
Indeed, Rong Yuan’s appearance was a good move by Zhang Hanqing, but of course its good will be reflected later. But at least Wanrong had a tacit attitude toward her father and the Rong family's reactivation, which also changed her perception of Zhang Hanqing from hatred to a feeling of unknown something.
However, Zhang Hanqing, who was preparing to pursue victory, had no time to play some love games with the queen, because, according to reliable statistics, the primary election was unfavorable. At the People's Party campaign headquarters, senior People's Party leaders such as Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Hanqing, Wu Junsheng and Zhang Zuoxiang were full of surprise and uneasiness about the provincial election results.
According to assessments from the People’s Party departments in various provinces, the People’s Party is increasingly at a disadvantage in this congressional election.
Although the status of the traditional five northeastern provinces (Liaoji, Jilin, Heirexing) and the northwest seven provinces (Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningsui, Qinghai, Tibet, Xinjiang) is as stable as Mount Tai, there is also good news from Hubei, where the Kuomintang was founded. The Hubei Provincial Committee of the People's Party has effective propaganda and defeated the enemies. , achieved a 4:1 victory (number of candidates), but ultimately lost the three directly-governed provinces of Beijing and Tianjin, which have important political influence, and Shanghai, the country's economic center.
In addition, all the southwestern border provinces were wiped out, which profoundly demonstrated the weakness of the People’s Party’s ability to control the post-occupied provinces.
The People’s Party representatives in the nine provinces of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Sui, Cha, Hunan, Fujian, and Zhejiang were almost completely wiped out. These traditional territories of the Zhili-Anhui clique are indeed not something that the Fengcian clique can penetrate in the short term.
In predictions before the election, the People's Party will have more than one-third but definitely less than half of the members. Not only will it be unable to gain absolute control of Congress, it will also lose the majority that guarantees the smooth passage of government orders.
For this result, the opposition parties are celebrating, believing that the countries that the various factions failed to conquer with guns can now achieve their goals with bare hands. Although the various parties still have internal quarrels over the distribution of power, their opposition to and containment of the People's Party is surprisingly consistent.
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing valued the Senate, and with his intervention, he ensured in advance that he would get the votes from the 17 Fengtian provinces, plus empty votes from Taiwan and Tibet provinces and retired generals (Ma Longtan). In this way, the Senate, which is related to the overall situation of the country, The People's Party has secured a majority of 58 votes so as not to overturn and shake the country in the next election.
If foreign political observers were asked to take stock of the most valuable news about the Republic of China in 1926, it would be the "discipline" in "exercising power in accordance with the law" shown by the upcoming Congress. The first case of Congress denying government work.
The cause of the matter is simple: the opposition alliance with a majority of votes simply rejected the People's Party government's draft budget report for the second half of the year, which is the main power of the House of Representatives.
In fact, in Zhang Hanqing's heart, he really appreciates that the Congress, as the highest power organ of the country, can truly exercise its power to be the masters of the country on behalf of the people, because a truly democratic country should never be a "one-word hall" of the government, nor should the ruling party. Be subject to restrictions and supervision.
But it doesn’t work now. The only one that can make the entire country strong is the People’s Party at this stage. At a time when the country is facing serious internal and external troubles, what is needed is absolute power and autocracy, not the so-called dishonesty. When the country is still very weak, it is more in line with China to work hard in one place than to be scattered. Traditional and practical.
Moreover, in the planned political program of "New Sanpanzhiyi", the Republic of China will have to go through a long period of time to implement its military, political training and constitutional government, and there will also be many important steps.??The only failure of the People's Party. Therefore, within the People's Party, accusations against Wu Junsheng's lack of control in Congress began to grow. The rebel faction was greatly encouraged and began to implement larger plans.
This time, they pointed the finger at one of Zhang Zuolin’s three magic weapons to dominate: the intelligence agency.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Fengqing Bureau had a close relationship with the Fengqiang Clan. As the Feng Clan gradually expanded, the "Feng Qi Bureau" also grew stronger, and became one of its organizational agencies after the People's Party became a major national party: the Central Investigation Department of the People's Party, with dispatches in every province and city across the country. mechanism.
Because of the special nature of the People's Party, the appointment, dismissal and daily work of several of its agencies such as the Organization Department, Propaganda Department, Discipline Inspection Commission, United Front Department and Central Investigation Department do not need to report to Congress, but to the Party Central Committee. The committee and the Politburo are responsible.
Due to the nature of the Central Investigation Department as a de facto secret service, the opposition believes that this mode of operation is not in line with the spirit of democracy. They strongly demanded that this department be placed under the jurisdiction of the government.
This is setting the stage in advance. If this terrifying organization eventually becomes part of the government, the People's Party's influence will be greatly reduced, and the opposition can legally control it through Congress. They believe that this is the prerequisite for a mature country.
This is to weaken and hollow out the People’s Party. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 795 Pushing the envelope
??
“Surprisingly, Zhang Hanqing expressed cautious optimism about this. In his mind, the People's Party is a ruling party, and this ruling trend will continue in the foreseeable future.
?? His previous initiative to place the government under the supervision of Congress, or to take the initiative to delegate power and advocate the establishment of a legislative body with practical status, was for the sake of China's democratic process. So, if an extremely monopolistic intelligence agency is controlled by someone with ulterior motives, sooner or later it will shake the foundation of the country.
A spy is a spy, it is like a sharp sword in the hands of the person who uses it. If used well, it is an extremely powerful arm; if used improperly, it will become a tool of dictatorship - the Soviet Counterrevolutionary Committee and the KGB are examples.
With the consolidation of power, Zhang Hanqing also intends to reorganize this organization and place it under the joint management of the party and the government. Originally, the expenses of investigation department personnel in various places were already supported by the government. If you have a seat in the government, it is justifiable to spend money, right?
So when Zhang Hanqing expressed his willingness to form a new agency, the Ministry of National Security, to transfer the work of the Central Investigation Department of the People's Party, the opposition congratulated them, thinking that this was another victory.
It was only when Zhang Hanqing later submitted the "People's Party Constitution" that stipulated that cadres at all levels of the People's Party's Investigation Department and the Ministry of National Security were "two systems and one team" that they realized they had been deceived.
Because according to this system, Gao Jiyi, who serves as the minister of the Central Investigation Department of the People's Party, will naturally serve as the minister of the newly established Ministry of National Security. The ministers of the People's Party Investigation Department at the provincial and municipal levels will naturally become national The executive heads of the National Security Agency and the National Security Agency.
?According to the particularity of the intelligence system, management at all levels is vertical management and is not subject to government constraints at the same level. In this way, not only was the opposition's plot to interfere with the security system dismantled, but also the personnel of the People's Party's investigation department were successfully cleared.
It turns out that the People’s Party’s idea is to let it occupy the government’s nest, but it is not under the government’s control.
Regarding the special needs of the Ministry of National Security, the People’s Party believes that it is responsible to the State Council and the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, rather than Congress. This makes it an institution that is not an organizational body of the People's Party, and it stands to reason that they will attack Gao Jiyi's appointment.
But Zhang Hanqing came up with a magic weapon: According to the People's Party's charter, when party cadres hold concurrent government or military positions, their positions are subject to the appointment and removal of the Central Committee and its permanent institutions, the Political Bureau or the Standing Committees at all levels, and are not affected by external factors.
In other words, Gao Jiyi’s position as Minister of National Security is concurrent with that of the Director of the Central Investigation Department. Therefore, regardless of whether Congress agrees, he is the natural Minister of National Security, although he may act in this position “for a long time” if Congress does not approve it. .
Similarly, the Chairman of the National Military Commission and the Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People's Party are in principle the same person. Congress also only has the right to elect the Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People's Party to the position of Chairman of the National Military Commission, and the election is an equal election. In other words, as long as the People's Party decides on a candidate, theoretically if the Congress disagrees, the People's Party will change it, but there will still be only one person replaced, and they will be equal.
What should I do if I have any objections? It doesn't matter, before the Chairman of the State Military Commission is born, the Chairman of the Party's Military Commission will act in this position until he is "elected".
Because this embodies the principle of the People’s Party leading the country. There are many other similar positions: for example, the deputy minister of the Organization Department of the People's Party at all levels and the principal of the personnel department, department, and bureau at all levels.
Furthermore, the People’s Party caucus proposed that in view of the importance and secrecy of the Ministry of National Security, except for ministers, the positions and information of everyone else must not be disclosed to the outside world. In essence, it is an agency independent of Congress.
The opposition has objected one after another. They regard this article as a touchstone to test the bottom line of the People's Party; the People's Party insists on this principle on the grounds of safeguarding national security. When the dispute reached a fever pitch, they had already pointed their finger at another magic weapon of the People's Party: the army, and were ready to end the People's Party's political status from the root.
The rebel faction has taken an unexpected advantage this time. If it does not strike while the iron is hot and fully announce its existence, it will not be an opposition. They are determined to take advantage of this rare opportunity to change the country. Otherwise, once the People's Party actively responds to this and uses its effective political performance and propaganda capabilities to regain the commanding heights, the election in five years will inevitably be repeated.
Because although the People’s Party lost the House of Representatives election, its reputation among the entire nation and its ability to control the country are impeccable.
But it is difficult to completely overthrow the People's Party politically, because the People's Party has an army of nearly 1.4 million people behind it. With this army, a government can be reshaped. This is how the Feng clan achieves political goals through the army.The "loyalty" of the people, joining the People's Party is just a step to have the opportunity to serve the country.
Their concept of "the party" is still at the stage of being a tool to display their ambitions, and is far less loyal than Zhang Hanqing's requirement for new party members to "not only join the party procedurally, but also join the party spiritually." Zhang Hanqing used them to take advantage of their political influence and economic potential.
Although in later generations there is no contradiction between the two, at the time, it was a very severe test of whether the People's Party could continue to be in power. In critical moments, it is difficult to ensure that they will not commit political childishness.
Moreover, in the old territory of the Feng clan, King De and King Yun, who had great influence in Inner Mongolia, also talked about this and tried their best to lobby the elected members to agree to this plan. Their scope included hot topics in the four provinces of Inner Mongolia. He, Suiyuan, Chahar, and Xing'an are the People's Party's traditional areas of advantage.
The situation took a turn for the worse. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 796 Beauty is worried
At the critical moment, Zhang Hanqing took action. He instructed the Party's Propaganda Department and United Front Work Department to concentrate their firepower on this bill to "nationalize the military."
The Party's mouthpiece "People's Party Daily" continuously published signed comments by the Marshal, reviewing the People's Party's outstanding contributions in safeguarding national unity, national unity, economic prosperity and industrial progress since the founding of the Republic of China, and profoundly pointed out that the Chinese People's Party has led the Chinese people The army defeated the enemy and made immortal efforts to defend the country, which shows the truth that "without the People's Party, there would be no New China with three principles and principles."
In order to divide the Kuomintang, the largest organization among the rebel factions, Zhang Hanqing also brought out the banner of Sun Yat-sen, indicating that China's current situation is still in the era of "military politics", and the military will lose its direction if it loses the banner of the Kuomintang.
Zhang Hanqing, who was exhausted both mentally and physically, finally understood why the Soviet Union, which was so far away from him, disappeared due to a political turmoil: What could be more troublesome for politicians who are full of reform and enterprising spirit than endless political blame-shifting?
Time is not waiting for us. He can’t wait to pull out and kill all these so-called elites who talk about human rights abuses but are actually causing harm to the country and the people. Do you know how eager the Japanese devils are to invade China now? In the midst of a national crisis, you are still fighting for a small profit for your group while ignoring the interests of the country and the nation!
It is said that a man who is thinking is the most attractive to women. He didn't know that behind him, who was tirelessly devoting himself to criticizing the opposition, there was a pair of eyes full of concern and pity that followed him silently and unswervingly, feeling sad for him when he was angry and tired for him. Sad. This woman is Zhang Hanqing's English secretary Song Meiling.
It was the encounter that night that made her decide to become the young marshal's secretary without any hesitation. She remembered that for the same cause, her second sister Soong Ching Ling had fallen in love with her because she was Sun Yat-sen's secretary; now, in order to inherit the legacy of her brothers-in-law, she might be following the same path as them.
Because of the changes in history, her life has also undergone slight changes. At least, the first family of the original Republic of China, known as the "China-Zhengmei-Age Cooperation" has not been born yet. According to this trend, it will not be born.
Song Meiling’s help to Zhang Hanqing was huge and subtle. It was she who, using her family background, successfully made the United States come forward to say that the merger diluted the antagonism between China and Britain due to the "May 30th Incident" and gave the central government, which was riding a tiger, a chance to make a comeback. ——It's not that Zhang Hanqing doesn't want to be tough. At this time, being too tough is actually a sign of inferiority.
The Song family also used their unique position as a middleman to prompt the Zhang Hanqing government and the United States to conclude a series of bilateral treaties, which promoted the warming of Sino-U.S. relations.
It was impossible for Zhang Hanqing not to be attracted to such a lovely person with an understanding, extraordinary temperament, profound background, good looks and intelligence inside. He was not a good man or a believer in women, nor was he ever loyal to monogamy after he believed in Christ later in official history. concept.
Since I came to the new time and space, I have been very tired, but my private life is also very unruly. I have no choice but to have conditions - I am handsome and unrestrained, and I am a promising young man. It is natural that I have attracted many movie stars and celebrities. There are many So why not a Song Meiling?
When it comes to the relationship between men and women, Zhang Hanqing is quite open-minded. The standard is "the red flag does not fall down at home, but the colorful flags flutter outside the house." In addition to Yu Fengzhi, his first wife, during his expeditions to the north and south, he also took in his wife Gu Ruiyu, who accompanied the army. Although his wife was not well regarded in official history, she was really beautiful. Yes, he also accepted it with the same smile as in the official history.
Regarding this matter, later generations have a good saying: "Comrade Lin Biao lived only 63 years old without smoking or drinking; Comrade Zhou Enlai only drank without smoking and lived at 73 years old; Comrade Mao Zedong only smoked without drinking and lived at 83 years old; Grandpa Deng smoked and drank, and lived to be 93 years old; General Zhang Xueliang did everything he could to eat, drink, whore, and gamble, and lived to be 103 years old."
Since you are destined to live a long life, why should you begrudge your remaining life? However, he never took the initiative to provoke Miss Zhao Si, who was young and whom he loved throughout his life. Without it, being bohemian was a kind of romance, but if you bear the emotional cross, it would be a bit outweighed by the gain; moreover, for hooking up A 16-year-old underage girl is a bit difficult for him to let go of after receiving modern education.
"A true man who is dedicated to serving the public will inevitably have some personal affairs. Although Song Meiling didn't say anything, she couldn't be too stingy, right? And it’s not about favoritism. The state has policies for uniting the private ownership economy; within the People’s Party, there is also a United Front Department responsible for integrating relations with various parties.
Of course, to outsiders, with Soong Meiling around, it seems that the government is frequently providing economic benefits to the Song family. Everyone inside and outside the industry has their own explanations for the reasons. Those who are familiar with the matter know it well, but it is limited to the customs of the Republic of China. It is not a target that political opponents can use to make a difference
However, Zhang Hanqing clearly left Soong Meiling in the cold when it came to handling the turmoil in Congress.
She is not a member of the Kuomintang, but she has a sister who is the first lady of the Kuomintang; she is not a member of the People's Party, but she holds an extremely important job next to the Young Marshal, the highest power center of the People's Party, and has an unclear relationship with the first son of the Republic of China. Completely delicate relationship.
On one side is the Kuomintang that her sister and her dead brother-in-law worked hard to establish, where her family's glory and interests are; on the other side is Zhang Hanqing, who has a wife but has a lot of knots in his heart, and the Feng clique behind him. During a serious confrontation, Having such an attitude is already giving him face.
With this background, she basically held a neutral attitude in the storm of power seizure in Congress, which was mainly a contest between the Kuomintang and the People's Party in Congress.
Zhang Hanqing understands her psychology, but cannot agree with her attitude. Without him, on the shore of Tutu, could it be the king's ministers? Between the opportunity for diverse loves and sole power, the vast majority of men will choose the latter. So when it comes to the congressional incident and the People's Party's response, he is obviously on guard against Soong Meiling. Who knows, she is not a 007?
As a famous figure in modern Chinese history, Soong Meiling certainly has her reasons for being outstanding - the financial support of her eldest sister Ailing and the wealthy conglomerate Kong Xiangxi behind her, and the extremely prominent political background of her second sister Qingling - "the mother of the country" , of course, the pinnacle of his fame was the eventual marriage with Chiang Kai-shek, known as the "match made in heaven between China and the United States."
In this matter, the Song family’s shrewdness and unique political vision cannot but draw attention. The young marshal Zhang Hanqing who replaced Chiang Kai-shek's original position is very hopeful to give the Song family a chance to move to a higher level - in fact, the Song family is already using her ambiguous relationship with the young marshal in the minds of others to achieve outstanding economic success. Progress, but due to the ambiguity of the Song family's political stance, the good relationship between Soong Meiling and the young marshal was also affected.
The showdown between the ruling People's Party and the largest opposition party in Congress is about to reach a fever pitch: the rising People's Party will never give up everything it has worked hard to share power with other political parties, and the Kuomintang and its supporters will also do their part. Love the power you finally obtained with great difficulty as a treasure.
At this moment, where should Song Meiling turn? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 798: Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
As government bills were continually vetoed by the Kuomintang-controlled Congress, Zhang Zuolin, who was becoming increasingly impatient, showed the gangster spirit of the old Northeastern Army. He telegraphed the top leaders of the party, government and military stationed in various provinces of the Kuomintang to "be more vigilant and make proper arrangements to completely eliminate opposition forces in various places with a single order, and will not hesitate to use force to do this."
According to his temper, this Congress will also be dissolved and "re-election in accordance with the law" will be required.
However, Zhang Hanqing did not want the rare political situation to be affected by this. He tried his best to stop his father and humbly expressed to the outside world that "the People's Party and the People's Government are willing to listen to the voices of members of the parliament and make China's democratic process more and more perfect."
Of course, in private, he instructed the Central Investigation Department: "Efforts to keep an eye on every move of members of the Kuomintang and other forces, and discover any evidence that can be impeached."
According to the "National Assembly Election Law" and the "National Assembly Organic Law", members of the National Assembly should independently exercise legislative power and are not allowed to accept donations from any political group. Of course, this kind of thing is unavoidable in any era, but as the ruling party, the People's Party Have sufficient and legitimate sources of funds and are not afraid of investigation.
In order to fundamentally cut off the source of funds for the opposition faction, Zhang Hanqing used legal means: teaming up with the Bank of China, Industry and Commerce, Taxation, Customs, Finance, Communications and other ministries to investigate and eliminate the financial system that the opposition relied on for support.
On the other hand, the idea of ??using "movement" to deal with a group of people also popped up in his mind from time to time, although deep down in his heart he still preferred to use political and economic means rather than bloodshed to start a new revolution.
Of course, by imitating Stalin’s ongoing “Great Purge” in the north and the “Three Antis”, “Five Antis” and even the “Cultural Revolution” in later generations, not only can all the opposition be eliminated once and for all, but it can also be easily established in China Erase the big party the Kuomintang. However, these practices that were severely criticized by later generations basically only stayed in the mind and were not put into practice at all.
However, these ideas of his were still mentioned as a joke from time to time when meeting with senior counselors.
Braving the drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River, Soong Meiling returned to Shanghai in the name of honoring her father. At the Song family, Soong Meiling met her father's old friends and business partners of the Song family, as well as her eldest brother-in-law Kong Xiangxi, who later became famous in the political arena of the Republic of China.
Businessmen have a keen sense of smell, and it is their instinct to pursue profits and avoid losses. Since the rainy season, there have been rumors in Shanghai that the central government wants to eliminate the financial supply chain of the opposition factions. The first person to express concern about this was the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium.
As one of the distinctive political and economic groups that was active in the political arena of the Republic of China for decades and later evolved into a collusion between government and businessmen, the role of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium in promoting the Kuomintang’s status in the official history cannot be underestimated.
Sun Yat-sen was able to fight against the Beiyang government, and Chiang Kai-shek was able to finally defeat all factions and become the president of the Kuomintang from behind. This was inseparable from the strong support of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium. Even the four major families of Chiang, Song, Kong, and Chen that were finally formed evolved on the basis of this group.
Of course, the current Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium is far from being the political force it was in history, but its efforts to influence politics through economics are already underway.
Because of the strength of the Fengcian and People's Army factions, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium has not been able to openly back the Kuomintang. Sometimes it even tries to add glory to the People's Party on the scene. But in essence, this consortium represents China's private capitalists and the national capital emphasized by the People's Party. The direction of the doctrine is incompatible.
Although the People’s Party has also introduced many policies and measures to encourage private capital and private capitalism, the tilt of such policies has never been as good as theirs.
On the contrary, the Kuomintang, due to its status as a participating political party, has no ability to obtain financial support from the state. In order to win over this important private force, it has made many promises to important economic pillars such as the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium, and its leverage is far beyond what the People's Party can do. given.
Concerns about Zhang Hanqing's thunderous actions in Shanghai, as well as the pressure from the People's Government's strong economic and political strength, made these forces cling more tightly to the thighs of the Kuomintang. Of course, this Kuomintang refers to Mrs. Sun Soong Ching Ling. The Song family represented by Sister Nai and the Kong family represented by Sister Nai.
Soong Ching Ling occupies the moral high ground, and her elder sister Soong Ailing, especially her eldest brother-in-law Kong Xiangxi, is their political and economic spokesperson.
Kong Xiangxi, who claims to be the 75th generation descendant of Confucius, was skilled in business and trade in his youth and had certain assets in his hometown of Taigu, Shanxi. After returning from studying abroad, he devoted himself to founding Mingxian School and achieved certain results in advocating new education and cultivating talents, but he did not forget his pursuit of "revitalizing industry" to make a fortune.
In 1912, Kong observed from life that kerosene had become a necessity for residents to burn lamps for lighting at night.Xiangxi expressed his admiration. Although she is gentle and gentle, she is not inferior to women and rarely makes small moves in major matters. It was she who took the initiative to show up when the young marshal was dealing with the "May 30th Massacre", thereby attracting the attention of the powerful prince, and successfully joined the young marshal's close associates, taking on important secretarial work and working with him. Leave many legends behind.
Relying on this inexplicable relationship, in Shanghai, both the black and white parties showed mercy, and the business of the Kong and Song families became much smoother.
Now, at the critical juncture of life and death, the third lady's return to Shanghai at night must not be as simple as "sacrifice to her father" as she said to the outside world. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 799 The Behavior of Politicians
as expected. After the three sisters of the Song family chatted about their domestic affairs for a while, the topic turned to the current situation at home and abroad - the family world, originally, they talked about world affairs at home.
Song Meiling is young after all. First of all, she couldn’t hold her breath and complained directly that the young marshal instinctively alienated herself after encountering the difficulties caused by the "cabinet rebel faction" in Congress. For no other reason than that she was the sister of the wife of the former leader of the Kuomintang!
Kong Xiangxi and Song Ailing don’t care too much about these: from the perspective of love, daughterhood is a beauty, but from a political perspective, love is just an embellishment. Will the Kong-Song Family join Zhang Hanqing's service just because of Song Meiling's relationship? There are no doors!
However, Song Meiling’s intelligence is not just that. After expressing her sisterly affection, she solemnly dropped a bombshell: "As for the opposition, I heard that the commander-in-chief is preparing to use force to suppress it!"
Originally, Zhang Hanqing only told it as a discouraging joke, but the speaker did not mean it, but the listener did it with intention.
Song Qingling first expressed her shock: "Little sister, is this true or false? There is no room for ambiguity!"
Although it was expected that with the bandit style of Zhang Zuolin and others, the previous "glory" of the cabinet faction would be avenged by him sooner or later, but it would be so direct and decisive, which shocked them, masters of politics. "Repression", a term that is inconsistent with democracy, freedom, and human rights, should not appear like this, but should be used in a whitewashed and high-profile form.
But with Zhang Zuolin’s personality, such a thing is possible and there are precedents in history.
According to official history, after Feng Xi entered Beijing, he pretended to be a facade for a few days at first. However, the Communists at that time were eagerly exposed under the instigation of Soviet Russia. As a result, one of the two founders, Li Dazhao, known as Nan Chen (Du Xiu) and Bei Li, fell under the hoe. Feng Jun also stormed the Soviet Embassy in Peiping to obtain many confidential documents and eventually expelled the Soviet Ambassador to China.
As if to provide evidence for Soong Meiling's words, on July 20, a piece of news from Beijing made her feel frightened. It was a report by the guards responsible for guarding Sun Yat-sen's coffin: Zhang Zongchang, a senior general of the People's Party, wanted to destroy the coffin to vent his anger, but was fortunately killed. The young marshal flew over to stop him.
It turns out that because the Congress is subject to the opposition led by the Kuomintang, many policies of the Kuomintang cannot be passed here. Over time, both the military and the government are dissatisfied. In particular, the military expenditure case was rejected, which made it impossible for some measures of the People's Army to be implemented due to lack of funds. This angered Zhang Zongchang, who was idle in Beijing.
He was originally transferred back from Xinjiang by Zhang Hanqing to replace Zhang Jinghui in Mongolia. The young marshal had already communicated to him the reason, and he was confidently prepared to accept new challenges. However, this battle in Congress made him calm. Zhang Hanqing was no longer calm, so naturally he didn't care about this anymore.
Infected by the Marshal's troubles and affected by Zhang Hanqing's kindness, Zhang Zongchang felt that he had to do something. Isn’t the Kuomintang awesome? I set fire to the coffin of your former prime minister, and see if you can continue to be arrogant?
After Sun Yat-sen passed away last year, he temporarily stayed at Biyun Temple in Xiangshan, Beijing. Responsible for guarding are a squadron (peripheral) of the Beijing Armed Police Corps and the former Sun Yat-sen guard of the Kuomintang. No one would have thought that the generals and senior officials of the People's Party would do this. First of all, the officers and soldiers of the armed police were confused.
Although the military and police were separated, they were also at a loss when Zhang Zongchang aggressively led his guards into Biyun Temple.
Of course, the guards of Sun Yat-sen's coffin were even more confused and took every precaution. No one could have imagined that it was a senior officer of the People's Party who came to destroy the Prime Minister's coffin. Despite the sudden incident, Fan Liang, Sun Yat-sen's personal bodyguard and current guard captain, who had already put his life and death at risk, still did his duty and blocked Zhang Zongchang's attempt to destroy the soul.
"What are you going to do? This is the place where the remains of the former Prime Minister of the Kuomintang are laid. Who dares to break in?"
The Armed Police Force also felt that the matter was serious, so they also came across to stop Zhang Zongchang. After all, Sun Yat-sen's influence is so great that even they are under pressure. If things get serious, it will be difficult for anyone to do business with, although I don’t know whose instructions this arrogant general received.
"Zhang Zongchang is a fool and does whatever comes to his mind. What does Sun Yat-sen and the Kuomintang have to do with each other? Except for the old commander and the young commander, he is not afraid of anyone now! Seeing that manpower could not destroy the coffin, he ordered his guards: "Go find some firewood and two barrels of gasoline, and I will burn it!" He also ordered his other guards: "Whoever dares to stop me will be killed by me! This is a military order!"
Military orders are like mountains.
Although we don’t know the cause and effect of the incident, Zhang Zongchang, one of the founding generals of the People’s Army, gave orders here, and the armed police officers and soldiers decided to obey. There was no way, the level gap was too big. Seeing that the situation was not good, Fan Liang quickly sent someone to inform Zhang Hanqing. Based on the old friendship between the young marshal and Premier Sun, he will definitely controlIt is hoped that the People's Party will make every effort to ensure that Hu Hanmin is elected as the chairman of the Kuomintang. To this end, he will unconditionally support the People's Party's absolute ruling position. This position is based on the essence of adhering to "three dishes and cooking righteousness".
Cleosotto said: "The behavior of politicians is the dirtiest in the world, but this does not prevent them from reaching the noblest results." Although this behind-the-scenes negotiation has a slightly disgraceful political deal, However, in the early days of the Republic of China, the People's Party was able to steadily gain dominance in Congress without going through a lot of blood and fire and retain a vitality for the Chinese nation. Any negative evaluation was eclipsed in the face of this great right and wrong. Light. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 801 Reversal
??
On July 30, the House of Representatives held a general meeting. The first thing to be reviewed was the bill proposed by representatives of the Kuomintang Wang Jingwei and others, that is, "nationalization of the military." This proposal has already attracted attention at home and abroad. Many observers believe that this is a benchmark for whether centralized China will once again become decentralized.
Full of confidence, Wang Jingwei has already ended the publicity dispute with the People's Party and directly appealed to the votes in his hands.
However, what shocked everyone was that as the KMT’s flagpole against the People’s Party, surprisingly only Wang Jingwei and his faction voted in favor, while leftists and rightists who accounted for more than half of the party voted against it.
Not only that, Duan Qirui and Yan Xishan, who had been clamoring to join the Kuomintang and retreat together, also clearly opposed it. In the end, this resolution was stillborn with a high vote of nearly 350 votes!
Wang Jingwei was dumbfounded. He judged that other big figures in the Kuomintang must have had private deals with the People's Party. This was equivalent to a merciless slap in the face from his alliance.
Originally, he was prepared for Liao Zhongkai's attitude towards cooperating with the People's Party, and his reaction was completely expected, but he did not expect that he would be so determined to oppose himself and support the People's Party. Hu Hanmin's defection came without any warning and completely surprised him.
The House of Representatives, which had the best chance, was defeated, let alone the Senate, which was dominated by the People's Party from the beginning. Originally, he was planning to reach a private deal with Zhang Hanqing after the House of Representatives approved it - and he did not dare to resort to the Senate rashly. However, even if such a result is achieved, his prestige within the party will be unprecedentedly high.
Looking at Wang Jingwei’s cannibal eyes, Hu Hanmin, who had always claimed to be on the same side, shrugged helplessly. Politics is inherently a kind of compromise. When the benefits offered by others are large enough, or one's own foreseeable losses are large enough, it can force anyone to make a quick judgment.
To be honest, in Zhang Hanqing's opinion, no matter who the Kuomintang is handed over to manage, it will be much better than being handed over to Wang Jingwei - based on history, it is enough for him to surrender to the Japanese once. Therefore, Zhang Hanqing was not only determined to silence the opposition, but also slapped Wang Jingwei hard in the face.
The transaction behind it is actually very simple: favor and power.
The Kuomintang is not monolithic. On the contrary, after the death of Sun Yat-sen, the three giants in the party, Liao Zhongkai, Hu Hanmin and Wang Jingwei, were in dispute over the position of party chairman. Liao Zhongkai is not interested in this position, but he has the largest support staff. Hu Hanmin and Wang Jingwei secretly competed several times, but they were unable to gain a clear advantage because Liao Zhongkai did not express his position clearly.
From the perspective of repositioning the Kuomintang to ensure its status as the first political party, Liao Zhongkai tends to support the conservative Hu Hanmin's view of reconciliation with the People's Party rather than opposition.
Liao Zhongkai clearly expressed his opposition to various bills that were clearly at odds with the People's Party. In his view, the New China, which is waiting to be revitalized, urgently needs the government to focus a large part of its energy on the national economy and people's livelihood. In addition, Japan, which is eyeing the country with eager eyes, also needs special attention. Almost all the various measures taken by Zhang Hanqing's government are aimed at these two aspects.
As a politician who always puts party struggle under national interests, Liao Zhongkai never wants the Kuomintang to become a constraint on the People's Party. He also never believed that the unarmed Kuomintang could attack the ruling power of the People's Party by controlling Congress. Years of running around with the former Prime Minister made him deeply understand that political power is formed within the barrel of a gun.
Thinking of taking away the huge power of the People’s Party with a piece of blank paper is a foregone conclusion. Traditionally and under the current situation in China, only a political idiot would think so!
What's more, Zhang Hanqing, chairman of the People's Party who had a good personal relationship with Liao Zhongkai, told him cryptically that if the domestic situation continues to be disrupted by Wang Jingwei and his like, the People's Party will completely end this situation in an appropriate way, even if it causes China to return to the The era of "military government" is not a pity!
This is by no means a threat, and certainly not gospel for the Kuomintang.
Therefore, Liao Zhongkai accepted Zhang Hanqing's opinion and determined to divide the Wang Jingwei Group on the condition that he support Hu Hanmin as the chairman of the Kuomintang. This purpose was to try to reunite the Kuomintang with their own evil intentions; in addition, it was also to prevent himself from being questioned within the party after he defected. For the sake of personal accusations.
Of course, in order to ensure the support of the important Shanghai faction of the Kuomintang, he suggested co-electing Kong Xiangxi as the party’s vice chairman.
Hu Hanmin made peace immediately: Otherwise, breaking with the People's Party is also definitely not what the leader of the conservative group wants to see. At least for now, he doesn't have the courage, nor does he think he has the strength. After experiencing the Battle of Shanghai and observing the young marshal's maneuvers at close range, he was deeply surprised by Zhang Hanqing's political methods and diplomatic scheming.
Although this joint defection may severely damage the prestige of the Kuomintang, his status and prestige within the party are?It will definitely rise. Regarding the young marshal who had a certain friendship with him in Shanghai, he asked himself that his personal relationship was not bad.
He knew in his heart what was more important between division and union. Because his important ally Kong Xiangxi also advised him before this.
Kong Xiangxi is the agent of the "Jiang-Zhejiang Group" and the economic pillar on which the Kuomintang relies for its survival. Kong's defection will cause the towering tree of the Kuomintang to rot from its foundation and collapse.
Because Sun Yat-sen's Revolution of 1911 was based on the old bourgeoisie, old soldiers, and old bureaucrats, and was defeated by the "old" three-plate cooking righteousness, which lacked a public opinion foundation. Unlike the People's Party, it mobilizes farmers, who account for 90% of China, and has a solid foundation with the guns in its hands.
If the Kuomintang leaves economic support, it will immediately fall apart. "When a tree falls, the macaques scatter" and "If the skin is gone, where will the hair be?" What's the point of him fighting for power in a party that is on the verge of collapse?
Now another important figure in the party is trying to win over him by supporting him as the vice-chairman of the competing party. Not only can he easily win the battle, but he can also rejuvenate the party. If others do bad things, you can be a good person yourself. Why not do it?
“In this way, Liao Zhongkai, Hu Hanmin, and Kong Xiangxi, the old and new forces in the party, all opposed him, and Wang Jingwei would no longer be defeated.
Duan Qirui’s defection was accidental.
Of course Lao Duan, who has walked through the hail of bullets, does not believe in the so-called war. Having experienced three ups and downs in the political arena, he understands better than anyone that the People's Party has completely won.
He also always believes that "power comes from the barrel of a gun" and he also understands that any action taken by all the opposition in Congress, including himself, will never be of any use - the government respects you, and Congress is Useful, the government doesn't respect you, Congress is nothing!
The reason why Lao Duan, who has always been on the fence, is still involved is because of another thought: as long as the "Prince Faction" headed by the Young Marshal still wants to hang "Dan Bo" on the wall, he will have enough capital to compete with him. Bargaining - of course it is impossible for the old commander. He has been waiting for the opportunity to show his role and gain respect - this is the prerequisite for politicians to survive. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 802 Reflection
??
The influence of Lao Duan's defection is very great. At least Zhejiang Province, which Lu Yongxiang has run for many years, also advances and retreats together, as well as Anhui and Shandong He is the third largest powerful faction after the Kuomintang in the House of Representatives, with 45 votes; in addition, in the Senate , he still has at least 7 votes.
Yan Xishan's defection was due to the fact that Kong Xiangxi, also a Shanxi political veteran, took the fire under the hood and overturned his foundation in Shanxi. The senior staff member and respected Zhao Daiwen, who had fallen out with him, also gave full play to his influence and won most of Shanxi's votes. Member’s support. If he persists in going his own way, Yan Xishan doesn't know how it will end.
When the vote was held, the moment the three giants of the Kuomintang, Liao, Hu, and Kong, turned against each other, Duan Qirui realized that it was time for him to change his political affiliation! After Yan Xishan, the veteran of the National Revolutionary Army, changed his attitude, Duan Qirui showed his fickle face and unequivocally opposed Wang Jingwei's proposal, ignoring the anger of Feng Yuxiang, Cao Kun and others.
The performance of the Chinese Women's Alliance is even more ridiculous: after their impassioned speech, they immediately changed their faces. He said that it was the unremitting efforts of the People's Party and the People's Army that enabled Chinese women to truly gain political emancipation and obtain corresponding social status.
They do not forget the well diggers. They strongly support the leadership of the Chinese People's Party and believe that the relationship between the People's Army and the People's Party has been formed for a long time. The reason why they do not agree with this proposal is to defend the "People's Party" as stipulated in the Constitution. The historical status of "leader of the Chinese revolution"!
Yu Yifan broke her promise and voted for the People's Party instead of the two she had just joked about.
According to the rules, unsuccessful proposals cannot be proposed again until at least the next term, so currently, the People's Army still belongs to the People's Party.
After losing for the first time, Wang Jingwei and others were not discouraged. "There is still another proposal. I don't believe they can still collude on matters that are related to everyone's interests," he thought.
This proposal is very impactful: all political parties must obtain administrative power in accordance with the law, instead of the People's Party taking over everything. The proposal they put forward is called the "Draft of the Administrative Organization Law."
Originally, in order to unite the overall plan, among the 27 newly established ministries, there were 9 non-People's Party chief officials, including the extremely important ministries of foreign affairs, justice, commerce, education, culture, transportation, customs and immigration; in Among the 36 provinces, autonomous provinces, and provinces directly under the Central Government, 13 are governors who are not members of the People’s Party. This is Zhang Hanqing’s greatest sincerity in allowing all factions to peacefully build the country.
However, as time went on, some people who were originally inclined to the People's Party began to join the People's Party camp. The most famous one is Foreign Minister Gu Weijun, who simply stated his identity as a party member for three years and was recently elected to the Central Committee of the People's Party. First alternate member of the Political Bureau.
And governors who are not members of the People's Party are gradually having difficulties in exercising administrative power, because when the People's Party organizations at all levels are established and improved, the standing committees of the party at all levels gradually take an absolute central position in national affairs. Many times, these provincial governors are unable to exercise power over lower-level officials because in many cases, the appointment and dismissal power of these subordinates is not in their hands.
For example, the provincial governor cannot appoint or remove a prefecture-level mayor because this has to go through the provincial party committee standing committee. You are not even a party member, how can you participate in these high-profile activities? Every time the Standing Committee meets, it’s enough for you to watch!
Since the Standing Committees of the People's Party at all levels firmly hold the power to nominate lower-level officials, non-People's Party personnel are gradually excluded from the administrative power system: if they cannot live a normal organizational life, they will not be able to exert influence over their subordinates. Effective restriction of power, because after the appointment by the superior standing committee, in accordance with the Administrative Organization Law, the government at the same level will be responsible to the parliament at the same level.
As the chief official of the higher-level government, he cannot arbitrarily interfere with the administrative affairs of the lower-level government, otherwise it will be ultra vires.
Once the country is on the right track, administrative power will move forward according to its inertia. It is difficult to change this, unless you have absolute influence Just an empty provincial governor position cannot accomplish anything, which makes it difficult for them. Do.
And an official without power, even if he is a full-time official, will not have much influence. Therefore, it is natural that the deputy governors of many places who are members of the Standing Committee of the People's Party have actually exceeded their powers and replaced the powers of these provincial governors. This has caused many people to be unhappy.
Therefore, according to the plan of Wang Jingwei and others, the appointment and dismissal of administrative cadres should be fully "disciplined", rather than the People's Party taking over the world. To be honest, according to the existing government organizational structure of the People's Party, it is difficult for non-party members to have the opportunity to enter the top levels of the government.
The purpose of proposing this "Administrative Organization Law" is to change the practice in which the nomination of administrative chiefs and deputy heads at all levels is proposed by the standing committees of the People's Party at all levels, to a method in which each party proposes competitors to participate in the election.
But Zhang Hanqing’s words stopped him.??Their intentions: How does the Republic of China embody the role of People's Party | leadership? There is no basis for implementing differential elections in China at this stage!
On a matter of life and death, the various political parties rarely want to unite again. People are always full of longing for the power they are about to obtain. If this possibility cannot be eliminated from the root, one day it will sprout and take root.
Zhang Hanqing cannot tolerate his democratic ideals being used as a tool to deal with the People's Party. Although these so-called democratic ideals can really restrain the People's Party, they also cause the government to be severely constrained.
Do you want cooking or efficiency? It seems that he acted too hastily. China's current economic and political situation shows that it is not suitable for the hypocritical Western system: people have a background of federation or confederation for hundreds of years, and China has always been a unified social culture. How about moving in?
It’s just that the wind of cooking has been blown up by myself, and I can’t bear to extinguish it all the time. It is easy to wipe out all parties, but who can restrain this party or even put forward some opinions? This is a problem.
Now is not the time to play around: the country is still under threat, the people are still in poverty, and the only way to solve it is a strong government that needs to work together to work together. In Zhang Hanqing's design, the Congress should be responsible for correcting the deviations of the People's Government, but the reality has become that the Congress insists on pulling back the People's Government, which he cannot tolerate.
As a political group, the People’s Party guides the separation of powers among China’s legislative, judicial and administrative powers. It's me, because I overcorrected for some of the practices of later generations, but lost one of the most important principles, the position of "the People's Party | Leading the Country", which is wrong. Thinking of it, if it were not for some secret doors left in advance due to "indiscretion" or selfishness, the People's Party would be in danger of overthrowing the regime.
Of course, the presence of the army will not make a comeback, but it will slow down the process of China’s war! Fortunately, it happened in advance. Otherwise, waiting for the national organization to become stiff before changing or repairing it would seriously damage China's vitality - wasn't this how the Soviet Union failed in history?
Who said that governing a big country is like cooking small dishes? I'm going to swell his mouth!
Perhaps, we need an opportunity to revise the current system to ensure the ruling status of the People's Party legally and organizationally. No matter how good the system is, it will be distorted due to human factors, so why bother with having to use outsiders to supervise the government? Wouldn't it be better to design a mechanism for self-discipline within the party? ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 803 Conspiracy
??
The debate in Congress is still going on, but these noises cannot affect the fundamentals of the People's Party. As long as administrative power and military power are still in the hands of the People's Party, all other voices can only be embellishments.
Needless to say, what happened in the previous stage of the Congress, if the Japanese were not the mediators, it would be impossible for the various factions to unite to deal with the Feng clique in a short period of time.
“It’s just that Doihara Kenji and a group of others were jumping up and down, and they had long been watched by people from the Ministry of National Security. And Zhang Hanqing also wanted to see how many people would board their pirate ship, and how many people in the current high-level Feng clique were secretly willing to follow the Japanese stick, so he kept silent.
The Congress, which the Japanese placed high hopes on, was unable to destabilize the command power of the Feng clan under Zhang Hanqing's endless methods. The Japanese also launched a new trick: since it was impossible to obtain political power in China through "peaceful" means, the "hard" side Ideas began to take over.
??For the Japanese, it is something worth writing about in any case, which can cause divisions within the monolithic Bong clan and thereby weaken China's development process.
Since the plan code-named "594" was roughly finalized, Doi suddenly saw a glimmer of light after being trapped in the darkness for a long time, and immediately instructed the intelligence agencies and staff agencies of the Japanese army in Kanto Prefecture and South Manchuria to take action to provide suggestions for possible opportunities in the future.
As Zhang Hanqing used his tactics to initially defuse the opposition's offensive, the idea of ??using force to change the situation became mainstream again. In order to effectively break up the tightly united situation of communism, it is most effective to split it from within and from above.
“ Among the top leaders of the People’s Party, the four truly powerful people are Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Hanqing, Zhang Zuoxiang, and Wu Junsheng. Zhang Zuolin relies on his prestige to be in charge of the Central Committee; Zhang Hanqing relies on his civil and military skills in the fields of party, government, and military; Zhang Zuoxiang relies on his personality and poise as the mainstay; Wu Junsheng relies on his ability to be in front of and behind the horse.
As for Sun Liechen, who was originally influential, he was only influential in the Lao-Feng clan. After the Zhi-Feng war, he faded out of politics due to illness. In addition, Prime Minister Wang Yongjiang in the government would have considerable influence in peacetime, but unfortunately he has no foundation in the military system.
Assassination of the old commander? impossible. The current commander-in-chief lives in a simple way, doing more work of coordinating with the central government, and becomes the emperor freely. His trust in his eldest son was unprecedented, and he basically did not interfere with the major affairs of the country. All state affairs were left to Zhang Hanqing. This was one of the reasons for the growing influence of the young marshal.
Of course, if Zhang Zuolin has a major accident in the Northeast, such as serious injury or death, Zhang Zuoxiang, who is also the commander of the base camp, will inevitably be involved. As long as the fighting spirit of Wu Junsheng, another giant of the Feng Clan, is provoked, with the strength of the two giants, internal injuries to the Feng Clan may be expected immediately.
However, they have also carefully calculated that even if this situation occurs, as long as Zhang Hanqing is still there, with his influence in the army, this crisis can be completely resolved. To achieve the result of civil strife in the Feng clan, Zhang Hanqing needs to be removed at the same time.
If Zhang Hanqing can be removed at the same time - in fact, Zhang Hanqing is the key point, it will be an absolute benefit to the Japanese. Ever since this young marshal's bizarre move to the center, the Fengtian faction has been at its peak, becoming very elusive and as unstoppable as a hedgehog. Its rise can be described as a rocket.
Killing the young marshal will make everything go away. The young people who unite around the young marshal are not afraid of resistance from the old Feng faction. Moreover, once something happens to the long-established successor, it will definitely be a political disaster. Zhang Zuolin is already old, and it is even more difficult to find a successor with Zhang Hanqing who is recognized by all parties.
Once Lao Zhang passes away, the young master is in doubt, which has always been the source of turmoil.
??????????????????????????????????????????????? The young marshal is sitting in the center and it is extremely difficult for him to go out on patrol. If you want to assassinate him in the heavily guarded Zhongnanhai, it would be easier to kill him with a piece of tofu. On the surface, his activities in Beijing seem casual and willful, but according to feedback from spies stationed in Japan, his actions are basically quite cautious: he has plans in advance, and is closely guarded by the Central Guard Corps when he comes in and out. It is within the warning range for several miles.
Needless to say, his residence in Zhongnanhai, as well as the residences of his several wives, are also guarded openly or covertly by several elite forces. In the two years after the young marshal's military career, he could not find any opportunity to take action.
But this year may be a good opportunity: not only will Zhang Zuolin return to the Northeast without exception, but he will also stay in the Northeast for a longer time. That is, the former 28th Division Commander Feng Delin, who fought with him for the Fengtian King, passed away due to illness.
As the founder of the five main armies of the Feng Clan, many people in the 28th Division later became senior officials of the Feng Clan, such as the successor division commander Ji Jinchun, who is now the commander of the garrison area. No matter from the perspective of appeasing people's hearts or from the perspective of the subsequent friendship between the two, Zhang Zuolin must attend the ceremony ceremoniously.
??At this time, Feng's eldest son Feng Yong had already served as the chief of staff of the Fengtian Air Force. He also had a good relationship with Zhang Hanqing. In order to win over his subordinates, Zhang Hanqing would inevitably leave.
If all the old and young marshals are wiped out, this will be a good opportunity to completely shake the foundation of the People's Party: the leaders and successors are gone, and with the current situation of being surrounded by new and old factions, there will be no genius in the party!
The Japanese Kwantung Army, which detected the news, formulated a shocking plan based on this. This plan was called "Operation Decapitation." Judging from the later declassified history, it is the supplement and ultimate of the "574" plan.
Although Feng Delin has become a declining figure and has also faded out of politics after competing with Zhang Zuolin, his death from illness still inevitably stirs up the nerves of all parties:
Zhang Zuolin is a kind and righteous person. In order to see his old friend one last time, he must go away;
?? Zhang Hanqing has been unable to actually take charge of the Shenyang base camp because Zhang Zuoxiang serves as the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission. He is also looking for a new commander. It is inevitable that he would like to visit Shenyang. He will not fail to do so if he is favored;
Feng Delin’s old subordinate and garrison commander Ji Jinchun must go.
They are all heavyweights leaving Beijing, and they cannot affect political affairs. After discussion, Zhang Zuolin decided that Zhang Zuoxiang would fully preside over the work of the Military Commission, Wang Yongjiang would continue his government work, and Wu Junsheng would act on his behalf during this period. The work of Ji Jinchun, commander of the garrison area, is handled by deputy commander Zhao Enzhen. Major events in Beijing and emergency handling are jointly decided by the Fifth Standing Committee.
Of course, there is a restless Congress behind, and the Japanese are watching in front. As the pillars of the Fengtian Dynasty, the Zhang family and his son left the capital together. Naturally, some people think that it is not appropriate for the father and son to travel together. Among them, the seriously ill person is Sun Liechen, who is still alive, is particularly opposed.
Although Zhang Hanqing used his "prophet" foresight to delay Sun Liechen's life for another two years, who should have passed away two years ago, basically in the next two years, he served as Vice Chairman of the State, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and the People's Party Sun Liechen, the honorary vice chairman, is only enshrined as one of the elder symbols of the clan.
In troubled times, the three chief officers, the old marshal, the young marshal and the garrison commander, left together, which would give people with ulterior motives the opportunity to stir up chaos. Even in his illness, he still had some rumors.
But Zhang Hanqing resolutely decided to leave the quarantine as planned. Looking at Sun Liechen, who was already very sick and emaciated, he could only bury his thoughts in his heart and comfort him and said: "Uncle Sun, everything is according to plan." (Remember the website address of this site.) :www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 804 Finalized
The departure point was the Beijing-Shenyang line. What was very different from the official history was that the People's Army now controlled this important railway line connecting inside and outside the pass, so Zhang Zuolin was very relieved about this.
The commander of the Kwantung Army at that time was General Muto Nobuyoshi, a relatively miserable senior Japanese military official: It was during his tenure that he watched the Kuomintang's increasingly tough attitude toward Japan bit by bit and had no choice but to do so. :
Militarily, the People's Army strictly defended the Kwantung Army; politically, it did not give them a chance; economically, Japan's originally vigorous economic vitality in Manchuria began to deteriorate through cannibalism. In all this, because Japan has not formed a stable attitude towards its domestic policy towards China, he has been unable to exert force.
He and the important generals of the Kwantung Army believed that the Zhang family and his son were the biggest obstacles to Japan's control of the Northeast. If the Zhang family, especially Zhang Hanqing, did not block the rise of the Zhang family in China's political arena, Japan would not only face huge resistance in the Northeast, but also over time As time goes by, the situation will move in an irreversible direction.
However, according to their reasoning and contacts with various internal factions of the Feng Clan, as long as the Zhang family suddenly dies, no matter who in the Feng Clan finally takes control of the political and military power, and no matter how the situation develops, it will be good news for the Japanese Empire. .
When Kenji Doihara reported on the current developments of the big guys in Beijing and this shocking plan, Nobuyoshi Muto’s eyes lit up: This opportunity is really too tempting!
As soon as he thinks of Zhang Zuolin's abnormal death, the princes who he single-handedly bonded will immediately fall into a leaderless situation. The high-pressure situation formed by the People's Army against Japan in the Northeast is very likely to quickly reverse. He can't help but want to personally preside over the assassination. Zhang Zuolin's impulse.
It will be easier once you get out of Fengjun's lair.
Prior to this, his predecessor had also used the opportunity of the Japanese emperor's uncle to inspect the Northeast to carry out assassinations, but he was killed by Zhang Hanqing's new power. He himself had not thought about this before. He also secretly sent Takeshita Yoshiharu, the Japanese military attaché in Harbin, to Beijing to carry out the plan, but was stopped by Daisaku Kawamoto's staff.
Daisaku Kawamoto believes that Beijing has many eyes and ears, and the assassination work is not easy to conceal. If it fails, it is very likely that Zhang Zuolin will strengthen the security work. After alerting the snake, it will make future operations more difficult.
There are two roads from Beijing to Guanwai. Which one will Zhang Zuolin choose?
One is the Beijing-Harbin line. Because Zhang Hanqing was dissatisfied with and resisted Japan's plunder in the Northeast, and was also worried that Japan would use control of the South Manchuria Railway to restrict Fengjun's actions in the Northeast, during the large-scale railway construction, he connected several important original branch lines in the Northeast to build the Beijing-Harbin Line.
This railway is completely independent from the South Manchuria Railway, and all along the way is the traditional territory of the Feng clan. It is very safe. It is very impossible for Japan to explode Huanggutun like in the official history. Based on Zhang Zuolin’s many years of experience in dealing with Japan, he may take this path.
If they really choose this path, the Japanese will be completely helpless. Although Li Shouxin led a cavalry regiment in Duolun, it was extremely difficult for a cavalry regiment to defeat the elite Central Guard Regiment with the convenience of a train.
However, considering that the Central Guard Regiment will not come out in full force, coupled with the element of surprise attack, and the use of regular troops to deal with the security forces that are good at security, there is still a chance of winning.
Youdao is a family thief who is hard to guard against. If Li Shouxin tried his best to attack bravely, combined with the strength of the whole group and Zhang Zuolin's guards were caught off guard, there might be a miracle. But it can only be a miracle. Needless to say whether Li Shouxin completely controls the regiment, even if the answer is yes, we cannot place our hopes on miracles.
Is it possible that Zhang Zuolin would choose to exit customs through Shanhaiguan? It's possible.
Feng Delin’s funeral will be held in the scenery of Beizhen. In terms of distance, taking the Beijing-Shenyang Line to Jinzhou, and then taking a bus from Jinzhou to Beizhen is fast and convenient, and it is also much closer. Moreover, at this time, the territory west of Shenyang was under the control of the People's Army, and the security was not the same as in prehistory. With Zhang Zuolin's willful and willful personality, it seemed that it was okay to do so.
If there is a chance, you have to work a hundred times harder. It depends on Zhang Xuecheng. He is Zhang Zuolin's nephew and the first deputy director of the Central Security Bureau. He is the top person in charge of this trip and is in charge of all aspects of security. Whether Zhang Zuolin can be allowed to follow the route planned by the Japanese depends entirely on him.
Zhang Xuecheng lived up to expectations. When discussing the route with Zhang Zuolin, he suggested taking the Beijing-Shenyang line directly: "From Tianjin to Beizhen, it is our territory. The Japanese sphere of influence is as far away as Shenyang. This is safe and saves a lot." distance."
Zhang Zuolin agreed.
In this case, the assassination location is planned to be the road bridge of Juliu River on Jingfeng Road. It is guarded by the Chinese Armed Police Force and is under the administrative jurisdiction of the Chinese government.??
But the idea is one thing, the reality gave them a blow, because the Northeast today is no longer the Northeast they left.
Strict and orderly party and government organizations at all levels, the people who have gathered around the People's Party, and the most substantial armed police force - the four provinces under the jurisdiction of the Northeast Bureau themselves have four divisions of armed police force. There are also three border armed police divisions, and the Beidahuang Construction Corps in the east has a reserve force of 100,000 soldiers and civilians. Considering that the Guangda headquarters has 6 corps, it is the largest garrison among the major military regions. If you mess around here, you are seeking death!
Without the opportunity to become bandits and having spent all their savings, these unemployed soldiers could only idle around in society and were targeted by the spies of the Kwantung Army with malicious intentions. Although there was no moral bottom line, Sun Meiyao still knew the seriousness of this matter: he had personally experienced the power of the People's Army, and he had been a part of it.
He was very confused and said: "There are many military and police forces on the Beijing-Shenyang line. When Marshal Zhang returns to his hometown, the security will naturally be tighter. How can I enter the hinterland of the railway to plant bombs?"
Tu Fei said mysteriously: "Don't worry, there is already an inside line in the Shenyang Military Region, and I will ensure that you can enter easily. As long as the explosives go off on time, you can get a reward of 100,000 yuan regardless of whether it succeeds or not." "
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The so-called breasts are a mother. Unable to resist the temptation, he secretly accepted the 100,000 yuan from the Kwantung Army headquarters. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 805 Yoshiko Kawashima
The influence of these people is still insufficient. We need people who can have a great influence in the Fengxian system. His plan was that if Zhang Zuolin had any shortcomings and the two commanders Wu and Zhang were in civil strife, this person could raise his arms and change the mood in the pass.
Zhang Jinghui is a good candidate, and he is absolutely dissatisfied with Zhang Zuolin.
Once upon a time, he and Tang Yulin, who were shot, saved Zhang Zuolin's life, and together they became beards, and then recruited bandits into an army. Accompanied by a group of old brothers, Zhang Zuolin grew stronger step by step. It can be said that Zhang Zuolin has made great contributions to his current position in the clouds.
But this old handsome man was so angry that his face turned faster than the clouds in the sky. In just a few years, he and a group of Fengjun veterans had been marginalized. In addition to Zhang Zuoxiang, Yang Yuting, and Sun Liechen who were closely following the young marshal, even the founding father Wu Junsheng lost the handle of his gun. But after all, Wu is still nominally the second-in-command in the country and chairman of the National Assembly after Zhang Zuolin; what are his group of elders who used to be brothers with Zhang Zuolin doing now?
The person who suffered the worst was Tang Yulin. He did not enjoy the fruits of victory and was shot early;
As for Zhang Haipeng, he was directly ignored. He served in the Party Liaison Department of the People’s Party in Congress and was still a deputy minister;
Although he is now the commander of the Mongolian Construction Corps, he does not have formal troops. He cannot interfere with the armed police forces and garrison troops in various places, including Mongolia. In fact, he is just a big contractor in charge of a large group of workers. Thinking of the debauched life in the past, looking at the meager salary and boring life he was receiving now, Zhang Jinghui's reaction was stirring.
But the situation is stronger than the people. What can we do if the people are under the roof?
The appearance of a woman gave him a feeling of survival from a desperate situation. Although he is cunning, he has a fatal flaw: lust. The arrival of this woman brought his dissatisfaction with Zhang Zuolin to the forefront and put it into action. His sky fell.
"My name is Jin Bihui," the woman said, "I want you to do something for me."
Zhang Jinghui was fascinated by the beauty with bright eyes and jade skin, like a lotus. Maybe only such a beauty can make him feel a strong sense of conquest, he thought.
But there is a huge contrast between this woman's thoughts and her handsome face. She wanted Zhang Zuolin's life.
The reason is simple. This woman talked about her life experience.
Her real name is Aixinjueluo Xianjue, with the courtesy name Dongzhen and the nickname Chengzhi. Jin Bihui is her Chinese name. She was also of noble origin: the fourteenth daughter of Shanqi, the last generation of Prince Su in the Qing Dynasty. After the Revolution of 1911, Zenki wanted to win over Japan and resist the West in order to save the Qing Dynasty. He had a good personal relationship with Kawashima Naniwa, the diplomat of the Japanese Embassy in China at that time. In order to restore the country with the help of Japan, and because he pitied Kawashima Naniwa for having no children, he gave his daughter to him as a basis of friendship. She was only six years old at the time, but she shouldered the important task of "restoring the Qing Dynasty". Zhu Shanqi named her "Dongzhen", which means the treasure of the East. After 1912, she had a well-known Japanese name - Yoshiko Kawashima.
The existence of Zhang Zuolin at the height of his power and the trend of China becoming more and more powerful, whether it is Kawashima Yoshiko, who was raised by Japanese, or Xianju, who is a descendant of Manchu Qing Dynasty, she is naturally hostile.
There should be no hope of restoring the Qing Dynasty, but is there any chance to rebuild a country run by the Manchus and Mongols in the prosperous Northeast? This is the dream of many people, including the Japanese. The strong appearance of Zhang Zuolin may make this dream shattered. Therefore, at this time, the only possible hope is that there will be chaos in the Northeast and even North China. With the support of the Japanese, the original Manchu Qing Dynasty elders and Mongolian nobles took the opportunity to establish their country. The name of the country has been decided a long time ago, well, Manchukuo is ready.
"The People's Army has heavy troops stationed in the Northeast. How can we cause chaos?" Basically all Japanese politicians believe that the prerequisite for the chaos in Northeast China is the internal chaos between the Kuomintang and Fengjun. And Zhang Zuolin is the god of mountain control in Fengjun. With him, no trouble can be caused.
That’s why there was an urgent desire to get rid of Zhang Zuolin. Whether it was the Japanese or the Manchus, it was an amazing coincidence.
Zhang Jinghui, who is dissatisfied with the Central Committee, is the best candidate to attack.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? This person is ostracized, has the intention to rebel;
Secondly, and also very important, he has soldiers in his hands. Although the Mongolian Construction Corps only has about 100,000 people, considering the total number of residents in Mongolia, one million, this ratio is already quite large, and they are composed of well-trained officers and soldiers. In addition, the 16th Army in Mongolia was originally Zhang Jinghui's old base. Even if he no longer serves as the army commander, he is still popular. Even if the 16th Army made no move against him, it would still be a great victory. Northeast China plus Mongolia constitute the framework of Manchukuo in the Japanese plan. So the two sides hit it off immediately, and it was at this time that Yoshiko KawashimaLobbyists sent in.
No matter how brainless Zhang Jinghui is, he still understands the pros and cons of assassinating Zhang Zuolin. It was obvious that he was being used as a weapon. There were no advantages but a lot of disadvantages. He would not do such a loss-making transaction. He shook his head and rejected the inadvertent temptation of the beautiful woman in front of him: "The handsome man treats me well, how could I do such an unkind thing?"
Kawashima Yoshiko chuckled. She shook her hair and said sarcastically: "Not too thin? Does General Zhang mean your rank of lieutenant general, or the commander who was assigned to Mongolia?"
Zhang Jinghui was momentarily speechless.
"Let's speak frankly. Based on General Zhang's qualifications and achievements in the last war (Zhifeng War), it is not impossible to serve as the commander of the military region. At least Yu Zhen, Xing Shilian, and Wan Fulin are far less qualified than you. Yes, but what’s the result?
"The guy in Beijing doesn't like you, so why do you want to put your hot face on your cold butt?" The Kwantung Army of the Empire of Japan has plans to support the abdicated emperor to return to the Dragon Court and establish Manchukuo in the Northeast. It urgently needs the assistance of ministers like you who follow the dragon. However, Zhang Zuolin is still a serious threat to our nation's founding. If we can get rid of him, the resistance to our nation's founding in the Northeast will be somewhat weakened. "
Zhang Jinghui’s heart suddenly moved. This was due to the Chinese people’s two thousand years of emperor complex. From the minister of the dragon! The founding of the country is without merit! When Zhang Jinghui thought of these seductive words, he felt like there were thousands of caterpillars squirming in his heart.
"After all, Zhang Zuolin is the head of state recognized by our country. It is inconvenient for the Kwantung Army to attack him. On the contrary, it is you, the general, who can act confidently. Once Zhang Zuolin dies, Beijing will inevitably be in chaos. At this time, we, Manchukuo, can take advantage of the opportunity to rise, and the general is also the first to found the country. A hero!"
Zhang Jinghui was also worried about the revenge of the Northeast Fengjun. Kawashima Yoshiko gave him reassurance: "A heavyweight in the Shenyang Military Region has decided to take action. When Zhang Zuolin dies, we will support Wu Junsheng to take his place. In this way, Zhang Zuoxiangguang will It will take a long time to clean up the stall, so how can I take care of you? And by then you will already be the Minister of Defense of our Manchukuo!"
Speaking of this, Yoshiko Kawashima winked: "At that time, the general will be in a high position, what else can I not get? Even I, maybe I will ask the general to take care of me!"
When talking about "a high position and a high position", Kawashima Yoshiko added: "There are currently several military commanders who are willing, but I think you, general, are the most powerful candidate."
Zhang Jinghui decided to do it, but he still asked: "How to do it?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 806 The Debate Between Staying and Going
However, there is still an important link that needs to be dealt with, that is, even if the old and young marshals are successfully assassinated and there is civil strife in the Feng Dynasty, China will at most reappear with the re-establishment of warlords. In order to invade the Northeast and achieve the Japanese dream of establishing a "Manchuria-Mongolia Republic", there was one person who had to do his job: that was Puyi.
Without the Qing emperor’s intervention, the Japanese would have blatantly invaded the Northeast and risked British and American interference politically. Now, we need to find ways to bring Puyi out of Beijing simultaneously, and then the "574" plan is implemented. If the anti-Fengtian alliance troops conflict with the troops of the Shenyang Military Region, the Japanese can legally intervene in the name of "mediating or maintaining railway stability."
I believe that as long as the factions are not united, there will be huge disputes within the People's Party and the People's Army and they will have no time to take care of them. The army in Shenyang cannot withstand the intimidation of the Japanese.
With the Fengcian forces being driven out of the Northeast and supporting the puppet Puyi as emperor, they can get the maximum support from the Manchu loyalist forces, and Japan can also be exempted from the suspicion of direct interference in China's internal affairs. In this way, Japan will have enough rhetoric to encroach on the Northeast and fulfill the long-cherished wish of generations of ministers.
This is what the Japanese did historically.
Dofei first contacted Pujie, who was studying in a military academy in Northeast China. He was the closest person to Puyi. If he could be persuaded, he would get twice the result with half the effort.
But Pujie said he was unwilling to do it. While studying at the Shenyang Army Command College, he fully realized the power of the People's Army. When Puyi came to the Northeast, the Shenyang Military Division could wipe out the forces following him in minutes; and the emperor's role was nothing more than a puppet of the Japanese. Even being a deposed emperor is better than it, let alone betraying one's ancestors in exchange? He dare not accept this historical sinner.
However, if he didn’t do it, he would do nothing. He also chose to remain silent about the Japanese conspiracy: after all, Puyi was his brother, and he did not dare to tell others, lest the emperor would be implicated.
At the same time, the emperor in the Forbidden City was also in a dilemma.
To be honest, Puyi is conflicted about whether to go or not. After the Revolution of 1911, the Qing Empire was overthrown. According to the Treaty of Preferential Treatment, Puyi still retained the imperial title and lived in the harem in Beijing. The government gave him a large monthly allowance to support his family, and his life was comfortable. He was used to living such a peaceful life.
But after Feng Yuxiang entered Beijing during the Zhili-Fengtian War, this old and rough general was determined to make decisions for the people, and he was very revolutionary. He wanted to completely abolish the feudal imperial system, and he wanted to forcibly drive the last emperor out of Beijing.
Fortunately, a great savior came, Zhang Hanqing, who personally drove away the Feng family soldiers and established an extraordinary relationship with him. Strictly speaking, it was with the queen, which made Puyi very embarrassed.
He was not a fool, and he noticed all the changes in Wanrong: the clothes were brighter, the dress was more fashionable, the visits were more frequent, the complexion was more rosy The key is that the news of the young marshal's close relationship with her has been in the newspapers. , which makes people annoyed and hateful. Just thinking of Zhang Zongchang's fierce appearance, he could only wisely pretend not to know.
Originally, he wanted to look for opportunities to return to the throne, but as the People's Party's ruling position in China became more and more stable, the grand cause of restoration became further and further away from him. Regardless, deposing an emperor is what no one wants to do when remembering the good old days.
At this time, the Japanese sent Luo Zhenyu to persuade him to go to the Northeast, and said that with the support of the Japanese, they would establish a "Manchu-Mongolia Republic" including Mongolia and the three northeastern provinces. In this way, the remaining lines of the Qing Dynasty were preserved. Therefore, the Japanese encouraged him to go to the birthplace of Manchuria to become emperor, and he was very happy in his heart.
Because the Japanese said that if he didn't go, they would support his younger brother Pu Wei, who was born to the same father, as emperor. Of course, in order to embolden him, the Japanese also told him: "A big change will happen soon, and then the threat from the Republic of China government will no longer exist. As for the young marshal, he himself cannot be protected!"
It seems that the Japanese are very familiar with the affairs between Zhang Hanqing and Wanrong, and also understand how much Pu Yi hates Zhang Hanqing in his heart.
But there are many smart people around him, and his teacher Chen Baochen is one of them.
Chen was very clear about the Japanese’s intention of setting up puppets. The so-called emperor humiliates his ministers to death. The 61-year-old Chen Baochen has been with Puyi since he retired from Longting, and still serves as the "emperor's teacher" in the harem.
While teaching, Chen Baochen often worked tirelessly to instill in Puyi the restoration ideas of "sit down and taste the courage", "obey the times and bide his time", and "quietly watch for changes". He hoped that Puyi would one day be able to restore the "great cause of the Qing Dynasty" and "return to the Ninth Five-Year Plan" throne. During this period, Chen Baochen wrote the "Benji of Dezong" for Emperor Guangxu and edited the "Records of Dezong". He was named Taifu by Puyi.
As the first confidant, Puyi consulted him. Chen Baochen said: "This is a trick, you must never do it! If you do it rashly, I'm afraid it will be easy to go and hard to come back."
There are loyal ministers in national disasters, but there have always been many treacherous ministers in national calamities. For those who cansp; Could it be that the queen went out again? In the past few months, the young marshal arranged for people to invite the queen out every now and then. Although he came back every day, he often arrived very late. The queen never told him what happened, but her increasingly moist face and occasional amorous feelings made him think deeply.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????This is a sign of a woman's pregnancy.
This bitch! No shame or moral integrity! As the mother of a country and my queen, she is so willing to be insulted by that bandit kid from outside the customs. Why doesn't she die!
This is the expression of his true nature, and it is also the residual poison of two thousand years of feudal thought. As for what he should do for his wife as a late emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he was in vain as a husband, but he was ignored intentionally or unintentionally.

Chapter 807 A bolt from the blue
Wanrong looked very surprised by Pu Yi's sudden entry. She stared at Pu Yi blankly without saying a word.
After all, they have been a couple for many years. Although there is no truth, they still have a happy time worth remembering. Pu Yi rarely sat down and said: "I will sit in the queen's room for a while. Why, the queen does not agree?" The future was unpredictable, so he made a rare joke.
Wanrong was full of guilt: she had been in love with Zhang Hanqing for several months, so much so that she had never seen the tiredness on the young emperor's face. Seeing him looking worried, while he was immersed in a romantic relationship with another man, it was inevitable that he would feel something in his heart. She leaned forward, asked the emperor to sit on the bed, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty comes to my concubine's room. It's not too late for me to be happy."
Pu Yi looked at her graceful and delicate face. This woman who was supposed to be caressed by him had no choice but to cater to that bandit kid from the northeast. When he thought of this, his heart ached.
?According to the people in the palace, the queen's clothes, walk, and complexion have all been nourished by men. A bunch of green hats flashed in front of his eyes.
The tenderness in his heart was suddenly filled with disgust: "Why, you didn't go out with the young marshal?!"
Wanrong was stunned for a moment, and a blush suddenly appeared on her face, perhaps from excitement or anger. She looked at Pu Yi and said, "I have long said that as long as the emperor can resist the harassment of the young commander, as a woman, I will naturally follow the emperor's lead!"
Nonsense, if I dare to do this, can I still be rumored to be a cuckold? Besides, the Qing Dynasty’s imperial family was able to survive only by catering to the heads of the Feng clan? Didn't the Queen's matter happen with her own acquiescence? But things can't be made clear, the emperor wants to be embarrassed!
Puyi wanted to be angry, but couldn't lose his temper. He was still in the wrong: a man can't stand up, but he has to let a woman step in to deal with the crisis! Speaking of which, the queen would have suffered more injustices, right?
He sighed. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. He wanted to curse, but he didn't know where to start. After a moment of silence, Puyi said: "There is an opportunity now. The Japanese want me to go to the Northeast, and they will help me restore my ancestral business. Master Chen advised me not to go, and Master Zheng advised me to go. Now I really can't make a decision."
Isn’t this the relationship between unity and division? I had been with Zhang Hanqing for several months, and although I couldn't avoid the bed issue, I spent most of the time attending various gatherings and gatherings with him. During the meetings, Zhang Hanqing talked most about national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Under his influence, Wanrong, who originally knew nothing about politics, also knew that it would be better for the country to unite. She couldn't help but said: "We can't leave!"
Looking at Puyi’s doubtful eyes, Wanrong suddenly came to her senses. The ancestral motto in the palace: women and eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. This has been followed by the harem for hundreds of years. How could you allow yourself to intervene in such a big matter? She said with a guilty conscience: "I am being reckless."
Puyi did not think about the ancestral precepts. If your country is lost, why do you still do politics? However, the queen's attitude was very important. He needed to make some choices: "You are pardoned. Why did you say you can't leave?"
Wanrong racked her brains, and of course she tried to speak in a noble way: "The Japanese have bad intentions. When the Yuan Dynasty was changed to the Republic of China, they did not interfere with the royal family. Now that the country has been unified, he wants to do this again, just to take advantage of it. The emperor’s name and the actual reason for dividing the Northeast—I heard that they are being suppressed outside the customs and are in urgent need of someone to help clean up the situation. The emperor must not go!"
Pu Yi remained calm: "So what if I go?"
Wanrong couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so she had to bite the bullet and continue: "First of all, the Japanese troops in the Northeast are far less than the Fengjun army. Secondly, most places outside the customs are under the control of the Kuomintang. They can give The place where the emperor founded the country will not be too big. What is important is that the Republic of China has been unified now. We will never tolerate the emperor establishing a separate country. If we really start a fight, not only will the royal family's preferential treatment be lost, but the emperor will become a sinner for the ages"
She rambled on, not even noticing the increasingly fiery eyes in Puyi's gold-rimmed glasses and his pale face: "That's enough!" He roared, interrupting Wanrong's next words:
"I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I want to restore my ancestral business. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! You bitch, you have been hooking up with Zhang for a long time, and you are helping him talk! What kind of sinner is this? It belongs to me, but it was usurped by them, and they are the eternal sinners!"
Wanrong was frightened. It was only recently that the emperor was so hysterical. Could it be that he was forced to date the young commander again and again, which deeply hurt his heart and made him change like this? Thinking of this, her heart was filled with guilt: "Your Majesty, calm down! I have always followed your Majesty's lead."
"Is it true that you don't want to go outside the customs? That's true, too, Zhang.This guy has a lot of troops and a lot of glory. Following him is certainly more honorable than me, a down-and-out emperor! I'm afraid this is the reason why you don't want to go to Northeast China? ! "Pu Yi said coldly.
Wanrong was stunned. Even a folk woman cannot bear such an insult from her husband in front of her, not to mention her illustrious family background and her dignity as a queen? She sobbed and said, "Why should I bear this kind of humiliation? Your Majesty will send me outside the customs tomorrow! Or give me Gen Bai Ling and let me die. Even if I die, I will never step foot into Beijing!"
The graceful face of pear blossoms and raindrops suddenly started retching in excitement, and was out of breath.
Puyi vented his anger and felt much better. Seeing the queen like this, he also lost the energy to continue shouting. However, he still pointed at Wanrong angrily and said: "Don't think that the boy named Zhang can go to heaven. Hum, if the Japanese Kwantung Army wants to deal with him, he won't live long!"
The emperor has gone, and Wanrong has recovered from the continuous vomiting. I don’t have this habit, so why have I been vomiting continuously these past few days? Thinking that she hadn't arrived this month, she was excited: "Could it be?"
She didn’t dare to think about it anymore. If this really happened, she really wouldn't be able to survive. How to deal with your husband's rage, your family's accusations, and the pressure of public opinion in society? This kind of thing should not be something she in the deep palace compound can bear independently!
At this time, she instinctively thought of the young marshal: "He must have a way, right? He even dares to think of divorcing me from the emperor!" However, she first needs to confirm whether the worst case has happened to her body?
The young marshal is going to North Town outside Guanwai tomorrow. After being gentle with him yesterday, he said that there would be a period of separation. At present, the only thing that can be counted on is Tang Yiying, who has always been shameless for her. After all, she is the only one who can easily enter and leave the palace. As the young marshal's prey, she would not be stupid enough to betray herself and make things worse - she also had a husband to hide!
So, a phone call from the palace made Tang Yiying enter the East Palace in the afternoon. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 808 Leaving Beijing
Amid the friction in Congress, month after month passed, and soon, the National Day, the grand holiday of the Republic of China, was approaching.
Looking back on the ups and downs of the past fifteen years, especially the Kuomintang people who have continuously exerted influence on the Chinese regime since the Revolution of 1911, on this day of national celebration, they began to gradually reduce their restrictions on the government in Congress. Instead, they devoted their energy to publicizing the achievements of the Kuomintang on the 15th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. In this rare period of time, Zhang Hanqing also gained a lot.
First, after the initial defeat in Congress, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Second Central Committee of the People's Party was held to review previous gains and losses and set the tone for the current situation.
Under the influence of the majority of senior cadres headed by Zhang Hanqing, they believe that the current situation in Congress is still “very healthy.” The opposition faction became much more stable after being beaten, and the Feng faction, who was accustomed to wielding knives and guns, also began to use their fists in Congress.
Because the political power is in hand, the overall situation is still favorable to the People's Party, but Zhang Hanqing is still thinking about how to smoothly and legitimately take over power in Congress. After the last round of twists and turns, he has firmed up the idea that the People's Party will lead the Congress. However, it is a bit difficult for this kind of leadership to be carried out at a pace that does not sacrifice the process of national reform.
The only change among the top political leaders is that Foreign Minister Gu Weijun has quietly entered the ranks of alternate members of the Politburo. Although it is certain that he will enter the Politburo circle, this alternate title is the only one and is tailor-made for him.
There was no such title as an alternate member of the Politburo before, and the interpretation of its power was the same as that of a member of the Politburo. It was completely decided by Zhang Hanqing, which shows that Zhang Hanqing's prestige and influence within the People's Party are extremely high.
The changes in military commanders are basically not big. Zhang Zongchang has been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian Construction Corps and the construction of the "Tianlun Line" railway from Tianjin to Kulun. In this way, the main force of his most convenient "foreign corps" was transferred out of Xinjiang and started another conquest.
In addition, compared to the tepid progress of the army's construction, only the navy and air force are somewhat bright. The reason is that when all industries in the country are changing rapidly, the Army has not changed significantly. In his opinion, it is actually a setback
After the warm Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Zuolin decided to leave Beijing.
For this security purpose, the Central Guard Regiment took out all the equipment of the custody box: he was riding in a large yellow steel plate bulletproof car of British origin modified by the Liaoning Mortar Factory. It is said to be able to withstand grenades| It was attacked by bullets; there were guards a hundred meters away, and there were military and police guards along the way. With the power of sniper guns of that era, it was impossible to effectively kill it.
Originally, Zhang Hanqing was expected to handle all military, political and state affairs during the period when he was appointed as agent, but Xiao Zhang had to go to Beizhen to pay homage to Feng Delin anyway, which made a group of Feng Faction veterans feel warm.
No matter what, the young marshal is nostalgic and not only tries his best to give them enough courtesy in normal times, but only at this time can he test a person. However, his schedule is two days slower than Zhang Zuolin, and it is expected that the father and son will meet in Beizhen by then.
In fact, based on Zhang Hanqing’s influence within the People’s Party and his promotion of more than half of the middle and senior officers of the People’s Army, he is already the de facto number one person in the Republic of China, but he has always behaved relatively low-key.
Since the Prime Minister Wang Yongjiang is running the country in an orderly manner administratively, and Zhang Zuoxiang in the Military Commission is in charge of the general, Jiang Baili is in charge of national defense construction, Han Linchun is the military counselor, and Jiang Deng is selecting Wang Yizhe and others to control the political affairs, why should he use force?
His advantage lies in thinking about the overall strategic situation. He is not good at presiding over work step by step, so why bother to insist on it? Wouldn't it be better to just be free and easy like this? Not wanting to do this has actually earned him a reputation as someone who does not seize power.
So Zhang Zuolin left Beijing, and although Zhang Hanqing was nominally acting as an agent for military and political affairs, he entrusted the Politburo and the Standing Committee to be responsible for all major national affairs. He wanted to see if the People's Party without him could do anything that would make him feel reassured, or could it become a mature political party?
At the Beijing Railway Station, Zhang Hanqing and Zhang Zuolin chatted intimately. The military and political officials who saw them off smiled at the harmony between the father and son, and felt deeply warm. Wu Junsheng and Zhang Zuoxiang were also among the farewell crowd. To them, this was no different from returning to their hometown to pay homage.
Accompanying them were Jin Yunpeng, He Fenglin, Liu Zhe, Yu Guohan, Yan Zepu, Zhang Zuolin’s sixth aunt and third son Zhang Xuezeng, Japanese consultant Machino Kazuo and others. These were either former dignitaries who had lost power, or Zhang Zuolin's personal advisers, all surrounding him like stars.
Yang Yuxun, deputy director of the Central Security Bureau and commander of the Central Security Division, accompanied him, along with a security brigade; Zhang Xuecheng, deputy director of the General Office of the Central Committee and Central Security Bureau, set out in Shenyang in advance.
"It's really a heart-to-heart connection between father and son,"In the past, people still respected him because he brought political power from the barrel of a gun, but now they consider him from the bottom of their hearts to be the leader of the Republic of China.
The political situation in Northeast China is very good, and the economy also shows the enthusiasm of accumulation, which makes Zhang Zuolin feel very comfortable; as for the army, it is the old foundation from which he started. He is loyal and has survived the hail of bullets.
So when Xiqia led a large number of senior officers from the Shenyang Military Region to visit Zhang Zuolin, he was completely intoxicated in the friendly atmosphere as they reunited with old friends.
The Marshal's Mansion in Shenyang is still the same as before, and Zhang Zuolin stayed here with great interest until the end of September. On the eve of Feng Delin's funeral, he decided to set off.
When Zhang Xuecheng, the chief of bodyguard who accompanied him personally throughout the trip, his nephew, the first deputy director of the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC Central Committee and deputy head of the Central Guard Corps, and Xi Qia, chief of staff of the Shenyang Military Region, asked about his travel plan , Zhang Zuolin said without thinking: "In three days, we will go from Xinmin to Beining!"
In his opinion, no matter how rampant the Japanese are, aren't most of Shenyang City still under the control of the Shenyang Security Command? Although there are Japanese troops stationed in Xinmin, the Shenyang Military Region is within easy reach, with up to six elite troops scattered around. What do the Japanese dare to do to me?
Zhang Xuecheng and Xiqia looked at each other inadvertently, and they could see a hint of coldness in each other's eyes. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 809 University Studies at Northeastern University
Zhang Zuolin, who was a soldier, was far more interested in the military than anything else, so the military construction of the Shenyang Military Region was the focus of his visit. From equipment updates to combat literacy training, he asked Xiqia enthusiastically, and the latter reported the developments in recent years in a catered manner.
It is not an exaggeration. The development of the People's Army in recent years can be described as replacing shotguns with cannons. After all corps-affiliated and division-affiliated artillery regiments of the entire Army were filled in 1925, all corps-affiliated artillery regiments of the five main armies have been converted to 125mm caliber, and even their divisional artillery regiments have also been converted to 105mm caliber.
These five main forces, which made the Japanese Army feel overwhelmed, took away all the heavy artillery that China could produce at that time: all 5 heavy artillery regiments, and 15 of the 19 105mm artillery regiments. In order to tow these cannons and allow the logistics to keep up with it, the artillery naturally realized the towing of vehicles.
As a price, each artillery regiment needs to be equipped with a considerable number of trucks - about 120 trucks per regiment, which are urgently needed for China's current economic development.
Under the trade-off between military and economic, Zhang Hanqing decided to do this in order to make the army equipped with China's best artillery worth the money. Not only that, when conditions permit, these five armies will all be mechanized, turning them into the country's mobile forces.
Currently, the 27th Army is doing this. Of course, given the size of the Chinese army and the country's current economic construction requirements, it is still too early to talk about motorization or even mechanization of the entire army.
However, Zhang Zuolin was still very excited after seeing the huge changes in the Northeastern People's Army, especially the 29th and 30th armies in the finale. Every time the army's strength increases, he becomes more confident in negotiating with foreigners.
The economic situation in Northeast China is also very attractive. Liaoning takes heavy industry as the leader, and Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces take agriculture as the backbone and serve as the raw material base and light industry supplement of Liaoning Province, both of which have achieved good results.
Heilongjiang has completed its light industry system centered on foreign trade, grain processing industry, textile and food industry. Harbin has become Asia's largest flour, bread, beer and alcohol production and export base. It is also the financial center of the Far East (not one of them) ), telegrams sent from Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shanghai to European and American countries actually had to pass through Harbin before leaving China!
It is estimated that by the end of this year, the total industrial output value of the three provinces of Guangdong will reach half of Japan's. The prosperity of Northeast China will also make people more supportive of the People's Party. In previous parliamentary elections, the Northeast was also the only region where the PPP won all seats in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
It can be said that the Northeast is not only the breadbasket of the People's Party, but also the vote warehouse of the People's Party.
The more this happens, the more it arouses the covetousness of the Japanese, and also makes a group of Manchu restorationists anxious. If things continue like this, regaining the glory of the dynasty will be far away or the soil will be completely lost. Therefore, they have always had the greatest expectations for actions that can divide China. All those who knew about and participated in this operation were extremely enthusiastic.
For half a month, Zhang Zuolin conducted careful research throughout the Northeast. Although Xiqia has a large number of troops, he is still under a lot of pressure when facing his old boss: this is not only Zhang Zuolin's prestige, but also his own guilt. He could acquiesce or even give the green light to let the Japanese work hard to implement their plan, but he did not dare to directly use the troops at hand to take action directly.
On the one hand, Zhang Zuolin’s identity is no longer what it used to be and his security is tight; secondly, he is also worried about his old base, the Northeastern Army - how do you know that no one among them has leaked the secret? It would be safer for the Japanese to do it.
Unlike Zhang Zuolin’s high profile, Zhang Hanqing’s trip to Northeast China was very low-key. He first went to Beizhen to pay homage to Feng Delin, and then also went to Shenyang.
However, the father and son did not meet each other, because at this time Zhang Zuolin had already inspected Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces in bright clothes and angry horses. And Zhang Hanqing also has his own affairs. On the occasion of the 6th anniversary of the founding of Northeastern University, as the honorary president and founder of Northeastern University, he was invited to serve as the chairman of the committee to select Northeastern University's school emblem and song collection competition.
“It’s not that he is very interested in this, it’s because he heard that Lin Huiyin also participated.
Ever since Liang Sicheng felt Zhang Hanqing's unexplainable feelings for Lin Huiyin, he had a strong sense of crisis, so much so that after he couldn't wait to enter into a marriage relationship with her, he insisted on letting her leave the capital where Zhang Hanqing often frequented. , Jin, to avoid his "harassment".
Among the nine Ivy League universities, the one closest to home is Northeastern University in Shenyang. Therefore, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin came here to teach together and served as the director and associate professor of the newly established Department of Architecture respectively. Liang Sicheng's reputation is not bad in the industry, but Lin Huiyin is relatively weak, and his achievements in architecture are not well known at present. However, with the reputation of Liang Qichao's future daughter-in-law, he is always welcomed wherever he goes.
I thought I could get rid of Zhang Hanqing's "devil's claws" in this way, but unfortunately, Zhang Hanqing?Still came like a shadow.
But this is purely a coincidence. Since having Liang Qingzhu, Zhang Hanqing's thoughts on Lin Huiyin have become much lighter. Firstly, he didn’t succeed, so it’s hard to say how infatuated he was; secondly, he was a famous woman who had a wife, but he was lukewarm towards me, so it was pointless to approach her with a shy face! Although it has always been said that what you can't get is always the best, but it's not bad to cherish the person in front of you, not to mention that he has been having a heated fight with Wanrong recently.
To be honest, seeing Lin Huiyin again, Zhang Hanqing only felt blessed.
Not every woman he likes should be taken home. It should be a man's broad mind to silently protect them and let them have a better life. But after learning about her participation, Zhang Hanqing decided to give her a gift and encouragement, because this was Lin Huiyin's first trial in the field of architecture.
There is no talk of cheating or secret operations, because historically, Lin Huiyin, who has served as an associate professor of the Department of Architecture at Northeastern University, won the first prize with his "white mountains and black waters". In the Republic of China, where the atmosphere was much better, this was her real ability, and she was really merciless.
Although I have never seen the school badge of Northeastern University, you should be able to see the "White Mountains and Black Waters", right? Don't admit your mistake and it will be self-defeating. He pretended to look for possible targets among the piles of entries, while paying attention to Zhu Guangmu's eyes.
If Zhu Guangmu, the director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee who has been with him for a long time, cannot understand the thoughts of the romantic marshal Zhang Hanqing, then he is not suitable for the position of director. You know, the director of the Central Office has always been a confidant of national leaders and has all kinds of little secrets about his immediate boss. Zhu Guangmu has been Zhang Hanqing's secretary for nearly ten years and can be regarded as one of the closest people to him.
Almost the moment Zhang Hanqing agreed to serve as the chief commentator, Zhu Guangmu arranged for people to inquire for information. Lin Huiyin's design of the school emblem cannot be completed in a short time. There must be some clues among colleagues, during work or after work. There will always be people who have the opportunity to see this work. It is easier to investigate this than to spy on the intelligence of secret agents
When Zhang Hanqing found a simple but clear work full of graceful atmosphere among a bunch of patterns, he was immediately sure that it was Lin Huiyin's. Maybe this was the intuition in love, and Zhu Guangmu was also here She gave him a knowing smile.
"This pattern is good, with white mountains and black water. It combines the geographical features of the Northeast simply and clearly, and the idea of ??using water lines to resemble the Gen hexagram in the Bagua to represent the direction of the Northeast is amazing!" he exclaimed in exaggeration.
Lin Huiyin is very conceited, so she definitely doesn’t want him to give in, but if he likes her in such a subtle way and selects her personally, she will feel it no matter what, right?
Sincerity is not a sincerity to please her, it is just a nostalgia for the past and a farewell.
It was not a matter of going online. With the young marshal in charge, Lin Huiyin’s work won the first prize as expected. Then another episode happened, that is, the principal at the time insisted that Zhang Hanqing keep his calligraphy treasure. The incident happened suddenly. Zhang Hanqing couldn't refuse and couldn't think of anything else, so he could only write down the four words "Northeast University" in a hurry.
The principal thought about it and put these four words into the school emblem. Not to mention, after such a small modification, the effect of the pattern is quite good.
So the school emblem of Northeastern University was officially born. Zhang Hanqing and Lin Huiyin finally merged into one in this way However, due to Zhang Hanqing's special status, Lin Huiyin's beauty and temperament, and some hearsay rumors between the two, this school emblem It was given a special meaning that none of them expected.
The joy continues. As the founder of Northeastern University, Zhang Hanqing was invited to inscribe the school's motto. Without thinking, he said, "Continuously strive for self-improvement, unite knowledge and action."
He said in his explanation: "Northeastern University is the first full-fledged university in the Northeast, and we have gone through many twists and turns for it. The imperialists do not want to see its growth, because it allows the Chinese people to truly have the power to change their own destiny. Weapons. The more they don't want us to do something, we have to do it, and do it well. The establishment of this school profoundly reflects the Chinese people's spirit of 'continuous self-improvement'!
What is the purpose of running a university? It is not to get promoted and make a fortune, nor to obtain a noble birth, but to try to serve the country with what you have learned. We must turn knowledge into practical guidance, use theory and practice to solve many problems faced by China, and make China stronger in all aspects. This is called the ‘unity of knowledge and action’. "
With the kind invitation of the school, as an outstanding poet, how could he fail in his writing skills on the occasion of this grand event? He happily composed lyrics and music for the school. Later, the song "Big Questions" became the school song of Northeastern University and became famous far and wide:
“You know what the sky is and the sky is high, and you also need to know how to explore the sky in your heart.
You know what a mirage is, and you also need to learn how to feel a sea of ??people.
Knowledge flows slowly with the world, and wisdom illuminates the universe with thinking.
We understand that there is no end to knowledge. Learn how to do things and then learn the ethics of life.
We understand the reason for learning. Absorption is for dedication, so that we can inherit the past and the future.
Life is more than perseverance and struggle, having dreams is a meaningful pursuit.
Success is more than giving and possessing, having commitment is the highest achievement"
More than 60 years later, a young musician named Wong Ka-kui from Hong Kong adapted it into another popular song. This is the origin of "Glory Days". (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)? We also need to learn the feeling of being in a sea of ??people.

Chapter 810 The new Miss Zhang
Lin Huiyin probably never imagined that Zhang Hanqing would use such a move to "show off" in front of her. She looks up to his achievements and appreciates his achievements in literature and art, but she is not the kind of man who loves a woman. Not only that, she was also afraid that her scholarly fiancé Liang Sicheng would be jealous. Therefore, the day after the school badge was born, she and Liang Sicheng agreed to get married early.
This can avoid a lot of rumors and eliminate Zhang Hanqing’s thoughts.
Hi, she still thinks too much. Zhang Hanqing has completely let go. Marrying her has nothing to do with it; if she can't let go, it will be useless for her to get married. There are many examples around him
After the private matters are done, we have to put on a show on official matters. No, our young marshal met with the senior officials of the Shenyang Military Region one by one. He probably encouraged everyone to stay vigilant and keep the foundation of the service. Anyway, according to Xiqia’s understanding, everyone from Liu Ruming, director of the Political Department, down to this point has been indoctrinated with this rhetoric.
Zhang Hanqing was in Shenyang, which made Xiqia both happy and worried. Happily, the Zhang family and his son got together and had the opportunity to get rid of the two biggest mountains of the Feng Clan at once and reduce the greatest resistance to the subsequent Feng Clan chaos and the founding of Manchuria; what they were worried about was that Zhang Hanqing's prestige in the army It's too high, and with his shrewdness, it's hard not to see some problems.
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing just casually inquired about the construction of the military region, and then returned to Beijing in a hurry - I heard that a good friend of his was getting married - well, who didn't know it was Lin Huiyin? The Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army had long known what he was doing.
This guy is usually smart and capable, but he is indiscreet with women. I guess this is his most fatal injury, right? In order to please his old lover, he even cheated in the school badge evaluation, without thinking that he is the second in command of the country and the future successor of China!
Is this boy destined to die with a woman? I went to Beijing and still couldn’t escape this fate!
Of course, Xiqia still pretended to stay: "Young Marshal, why don't you wait for the Marshal? The Marshal will return soon."
Zhang Hanqing looked like he was taking care of everything: "Time doesn't allow it. After returning to Beijing, we have to prepare for the National Day. I will leave it to you to arrange the affairs of the commander-in-chief."
Xiqia was very moved: "I was brought out by the commander-in-chief. When the commander-in-chief returns to the Northeast, his highest priority is of course his food, clothing and housing!"
Zhang Hanqing was very pleased: "I can rest assured that you will do the work!"
Are you worried? hey-hey. Xiqia will not be swayed by his few words of kindness. The hope of rebuilding the dynasty is right in front of him. On one side is the possible minister of the dragon, and on the other side is the unsatisfactory and even "insulting" middle-aged man. General, Chief of Staff of the Military Region, the balance has already been tilted, it might as well be tilted more thoroughly.
Since he had other plans to deal with Zhang Hanqing, he was able to return to Beijing safely without taking a single cloud with him.
There is really no way to retain him. Xiqia knew that he was not Zhang Hanqing's person, and since Zhang Zuolin's eldest son entered the Fengtian military and political circles, he has always had a bad impression of himself. Although I didn't deliberately reject it, it still felt weird. Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing's whereabouts did not affect his plans, and he could only say goodbye.
As the National Day approaches, Congress has been quiet a lot because the central government is going to hold a grand celebration ceremony. As a result, Zhang Hanqing was also in a state of regression. If the government is well-connected and people are harmonious, all wastes are waiting to be revitalized. There are capable people in all walks of life who stick to their posts. For him, maybe this is the greatest success?
On the contrary, the relationship with Wanrong has improved a lot. Maybe it was because he had been in love for a long time, maybe there were other reasons, but anyway, Zhang Hanqing kept asking Wanrong out and he was able to get his wish. After experiencing a physical breakthrough, there will be a second time after the first time. Is there any difference between that and the tenth time? Zhang Hanqing didn't know, but he could clearly feel that Wanrong's body was becoming less and less resistant to him.
All this cannot be hidden from reporters who are good at capturing the camera. The young marshal and the queen themselves are the center of attention. The more you interact with someone, the more gossip will naturally come. However, the emperor in the palace didn't speak, the queen's family didn't speak, and the person involved didn't speak, so this matter could only be passed around as gossip.
Everyone is commonplace for the young handsome flower heart.
However, when Zhang Hanqing returned to Beijing this time, he rarely went to see Queen Wanrong again. This disappointed many famous editors who became famous for writing about the scandal between the two of them, and they all asked: What happened?
For young marshals, if there is no scandal, it is just news.
However, when the handsome Zhang Hanqing frequently appeared on the social stage with the hand of a young girl, the entire suspicious news circle suddenly realized: It turned out that it was not the young marshal who had changed his gender, but that he had changed his mind again! Also, after being together for a few months, the Queen's novelty has worn off.
The weather in early autumn is still quite cold, one personWhen loading, a graceful and charming beautiful woman came into Zhang Hanqing's sight. She was wearing a rouge-colored cheongsam with a high and large opening at the hem. The cheongsam had a dragon-shaped pattern embroidered with gold and silver threads. She wore a pair of shoes made of the same cloth. Her face was painted with powder and her lips were painted with lipstick. She was so gorgeous. Her beauty is truly stunning.
The queen has not come out for a while. Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing did not send anyone to urge her. He only asked Tang Yiying to check on her from time to time. During this period, Zhang Hanqing seemed to be very excited by the sudden appearance of this woman.
The paparazzi’s spirituality is not something that can be concealed. In just a few days, word spread throughout the capital that this girl was Xianju, the fourteenth daughter of the last generation of Prince Su in the Qing Dynasty, Shanqi, and her Han name was Jin Bihui. Her background is nobler than that of the young marshal's other concubine, Tang Yiying.
The women who date the young marshal are all as beautiful as flowers. This is determined by the young marshal's status. It is understandable that he has this capital. However, during this period, he dated three noble Manchu women at the same time. Does this also indicate something?
Someone started to guess from Zhang Hanqing’s every move.
“When Yang Du, who had made great contributions to Yuan Shikai’s ascension to the throne, was appointed as a counselor of the State Council, some people wondered, is it possible that the outside world has been spreading rumors that the young marshal wants to change the country’s system to a constitutional monarchy? Was his appointment just a test? Could it be that the People's Party, which has been suppressed by the Congress, has the idea of ????seeking change through reforming the state system? This is too unreliable.
When Zhang Hanqing stood up for the senatorship of Rongyuan, Wanrong’s father after the deposed emperor, and went in and out of Rongyuan’s house many times, it was speculated that he was actually the so-called Manchu-Han family? It's just that the "Man-Han family" doesn't want them to have family life! Or through Rong Yuan's relationship, he put pressure on Jin Bihui's family to let them stay together.
No matter what the outside world speculates, Zhang Hanqing went his own way and had a heated relationship with Jin Bihui: they went to various social venues and seemed to be putting on a show for the National Day.
However, in private, this beautiful girl shows herself more in men's clothing. She puts on the uniform of a female soldier of the People's Army, and her hair is as short as a man's. She looks very handsome. How can she still be a lady? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 811 Killing the Fool with a Sword at the Waist
??
However, I used to be surrounded by gentle and traditional female companions, known as "Miss Zhang", but suddenly she changed into a good man's dresser. The young handsome man's taste is really changeable!
In this regard, Zhang Hanqing used a poem to tell everyone why he fell in love with Jin Bihui:
"Sassy and heroic five-foot spear,
The first light of dawn shines on the military exercise field.
"The Chinese people have many wonderful ambitions,
I don’t like red clothes, I like armed weapons. "
This poem is very famous in lace unofficial history, it is called "Photography for Jin Bihui".
Actually, it was Zhang Hanqing’s intention to let Jin Bihui wear the military uniform.
Except for their graceful looks, the women around her all serve to make them feel as comfortable as an emperor. They are as beautiful as they come, but they seem to be missing something. He was used to seeing beautiful beauties around him. The moment he saw Jin Bihui, he came up with a very nasty idea: uniform temptation.
The second day after returning to Beijing, he hooked up with Jin Bihui. Strictly speaking, it was not him who moved first, but Jin Bihui himself. To people of the time, there were very few women who could not be tempted by the young marshal, except perhaps Lin Huiyin, which was not surprising.
That night Zhang Hanqing executed Jin Bihui.
This Jin Bihui is indeed extraordinary: her body is tight and her thighs are very muscular, but there is no fat at all. Unlike other women, including Wanrong, they are smooth but powerless. Once they fall, they can run on their own.
she is not.
When Zhang Hanqing put his arms around her and wanted to kiss her, her first reaction was to resist - this was almost instinctive, right? For a woman who has never been conquered physically, this is a natural reaction. However, Zhang Hanqing felt that she was very powerful.
She has a lot of strength in her hands, and she must have exercised them regularly, which is very rare in this era. Because for all ladies, being a virgin is the common requirement of this era. But when she met Zhang Hanqing, who exercised more often, her strength was obviously not enough. Generally speaking, women are naturally weaker than men in terms of strength.
Zhang Hanqing proudly admired her pretty face that looked like she was gritting her teeth due to exertion. Jin Bihui blushed and twisted in vain. But in this case, why should she take the initiative to stick to Zhang Hanqing? Doesn't she know the reputation of the romantic young marshal? The young marshal's mansion, the lonely night, the beautiful woman, there is only one explanation for her not taking the initiative to leave: she was playing hard to get.
But the young marshal is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He has seen a lot of feasting and feasting places. He has left his footprints in Shenyang, Tianjin, Wuhan, Beijing, Shanghai all social places where there are many beautiful women. In addition to the official fourth-bedroom wife, there are also countless confidants or mistresses, and there must be many people who meet by chance but fall in love with each other for a while.
"However, he is dedicated to paving the way for economic construction, and his level is relatively high, but he has indeed been tempered.
"I never use force on women, Ms. Jin, if you don't like it, you can leave at any time. We are still friends." He stopped his dirty hands and said very gentlemanly.
Jin Bihui didn’t cooperate, and he didn’t bother to think about it because he knew this routine too well.
The women who took the initiative to get close to him either wanted something from him, or they wanted to form a good relationship. In short, as long as they followed him, they must be willing and prepared to sacrifice themselves, just to see how to obtain the greatest benefits.
As for hanging him with her body, I'm sorry, Zhang Hanqing, who has experienced countless beauties and slipped all the way through the flowers, has a very bad taste. Besides, Jinbi Hui is beautiful, but it is not to the point where he can be fascinated by it. .
“It’s impossible if we don’t come up with some real information.” Jin Bihui sighed secretly. The young marshal had a reputation for being romantic. She, a beautiful woman, was entering and exiting the young marshal's residence late at night. She must have been prepared for the worst.
"Young Marshal, you are so bad, I am not ready yet" Jin Bihui took the initiative to put his hand around his waist. Unexpectedly, she looks very wild and has a good taste in talking about love, but the taste of seduction is too strong, and she is obviously not yet mature.
"You don't need to prepare anything, just have me here" Zhang Hanqing looked at her and laughed seriously, but it didn't sound like serious words. While he was speaking, he had already grabbed the broken dragon at the hem of her cheongsam, and within reach was a pair of vivid military green clothes.
This woman’s masculinity is not just in appearance, even her underwear has a masculine color! But I like it.
The next development will be a matter of course. No matter how masculine you are, you are still a woman on the inside. When Jin Bihui presented her most enchanting side to Zhang Hanqing, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Perhaps the women he had experienced before were too soft and shy. The appearance of Jin Bihui, with her unique masculine qualities, made Zhang Hanqing feel strange and therefore easy to flirt with ——It turns out there is such a woman!
This is called unique style. For those who like novelty, a change of taste is sometimes good.
Although Jin Bihui is not immersed in this path, she firmly believes in it. She believes in her charm and her eyes.
But what she missed was that Zhang Hanqing, who had taken off his clothes and restraints, also took off his appearance as a gentleman. He always prided himself on not coercing women, but he seemed to have changed his gender after treating the queen. His behavior in bed could even be described as rough. describe.
At the beginning, he pretended to be very good, but when he came to the end, his style changed drastically. Suddenly he didn't look like the handsome young man who cared about his beauty, but a rude man.
Storming and hitting, ignoring her feelings at all. When she was trembling with pain and trying to push him away, he hit her back hard and hard. With the door wide open and condescending, she had no room to resist.
This is not right! Doesn’t he have a good reputation among women? What is extremely gentle, what is sentimental and pathos Do they actually have reservations? Before coming here, he did a good job of researching many women he had experienced before!
But it was too late. Because of her inaction, he had the upper hand. It really depends on his mood if he wants to regret it, but judging from his actions, he will not regret it.
Jin Bihui is about to cry but has no tears. Am I trying to seduce him? Does he need to be seduced? During the tearing process, she clearly felt his majesty and strength. How could his youth be comparable to that of the aging Kawashima Naniwa? That heartbreaking and painful memory was brought back again and again, and now it was about to happen again so vividly.
Why is Zhang Hanqing so anxious? Why are all men in the world so virtuous? This brought back painful memories for Jin Bihui.
“At almost this time two years ago, “I liquidated women forever,” she wrote in her diary. After the Revolution of 1911, Prince Su wanted to restore the country with the help of Japan, and because he pitied his Japanese friend Kawashima Naniwa for having no children, he gave his daughter to him as a basis of friendship. So she changed her name to Yoshiko Kawashima and received strict militaristic education in Japan.
Kawashima Naniwa himself was a spy stationed in China in his early years. After returning to Japan, the Kawashima family became a "salon" where Japanese fascist scholars often gathered. Yoshiko grew up in such a family environment since she was a child, and was exposed to the dark atmosphere. Eventually, It created her abnormal character and life beliefs.
When Jin Bihui was 17 years old, he was defiled by his 59-year-old adoptive father Kawashima Naniwa. Naniwa said: "Your father is a benevolent man, and I am a brave man. I think that the child born by combining the blood of a benevolent man and a brave man must be wise and brave." The one who has both.”
Early the next morning, she wore her hair in a Japanese-style bun and a kimono with flowers on the hem. She took a farewell photo as a girl and had her hair cut in a men's style. Since then, her character has become dissolute, crazy, and rude.
The humiliation of combining "benevolence" and "courage" failed to achieve both wisdom, courage and benevolence, but it made her transfer this hatred to her mother country and all men. In her opinion, it was the Chinese revolution that caused her to leave her hometown and suffer such humiliation; men were also the cause of everything.
"I hate men!" she said. She wants revenge on men and the world.
She came to Dalian and was sent to Beijing to accept some very important tasks. Pulling Zhang Jinghui into the water was only the first step.
In the process of rebelling against Zhang Jinghui, her contribution cannot be denied, and she played a decisive role, which impressed the Kwantung Army Special High-Tech. As a descendant of the Qing royal family, she was sent to Beijing with the important task of lobbying the last emperor to go to the Northeast to "found the country."
Sure enough, her identity gave Emperor Puyi a sense of intimacy - she was a descendant of a loyal and kind person after the fall of the Qing Dynasty! She also got along well with the queen, which was why she got to know Zhang Hanqing through Wanrong.
It was just an unintentional idea at the time, but when the romantic young marshal showed his naked affection for her, she suddenly came up with an idea.
With regard to the arrangement of the emperor and empress, she has carried out the arrangements in an orderly manner as planned. But even if these plans succeed, they will only be an embellishment of the Kwantung Army's huge ideas and will have no decisive role in the development of the situation.
Even though the assassination of Zhang Zuolin would cause chaos within the Feng Faction, there is still Zhang Hanqing. With his ability and prestige, it is only a matter of time to clear up the situation. If he was also dealt with, the result would undoubtedly be much better.
It’s not that the Kwantung Army has never thought about this idea, but the occasions when the old and young marshals appear at the same time are extremely rare and almost impossible. Even when Zhang Hanqing went to the Northeast some time ago, the father and son did not meet in the end, which disappointed the Kwantung Army who tried to catch them all in one fell swoop.
The plan outside the customs should be successful, because with the presence of the largest commander of the local garrison, nothing will go wrong. However, Zhang Hanqing's stay outside the customs was too short, and he was too anxious to do anything, so he returned to Beijing safely.
Fortunately, I have my chess piece here.
Zhang Hanqing is surrounded by tight security guards, and trying to assassinate him is nothing more than a wishful thinking. But he has a fatal flaw, lust.
Through her interaction with him during this period of time, she had reason to believe that this romantic young handsome man would not have no idea about her. Only at this time did his layers of bodyguards lose their effect - no matter how romantic the young marshal was, he wouldn't have people watching him when he was doing this kind of thing. That would be too much, right? ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)There is a deviation.

Chapter 812 Beauty’s Song
However, the young marshal is heavily guarded, and there is no chance of assassination from a distance, otherwise it would not be her turn.
There is no chance at close range. She doesn’t know how to use a gun. The key is that she has no chance to hold a gun. The only weapons she can rely on are her smart brain and graceful body.
Approach him and look for opportunities. She believed that with her ability, she would be able to find a way.
But before she had a chance to use her clever brain, her most powerful weapon, her body, had completely collapsed, and it was completely different from what she expected.
After all, it was the benefits brought by many years of military career. Zhang Hanqing's strength was so amazing that Jin Bihui could not resist. He was like an octopus clinging to Jin Bihui, who was unable to break away at all. She could only gradually feel Zhang Hanqing roughly bringing the heat to her, regardless of the dryness and burning pain there.
She stretched out her hand to resist, but she could only reach his back; she stretched out her foot to kick him, but it was suspended due to her posture. The most she could do was knock his heel, which would open up the last line of defense——actually, it was really never mind.
Is he a hungry tiger? The overlord immediately took advantage of her. Could it be that his body was too graceful and his face was too beautiful, so that even though he had seen all the beauties in the world, he couldn't help but react? She has always been very confident about her body, but now she regrets it so much that she wants to die!
It seems that she was wrong to come here. Fortunately, she was still full of longing for her to seduce Zhang Hanqing. Sure enough, no pain is no gain, but the time of hard work is too brutal and long, and the harvest seems far away.
Jin Bihui tried hard to avoid his roughness, but her vital points were grasped. The person on her body was like a wall, leaving her no room to struggle. All she could move was her weak legs, and now she could only kick wildly, messing up the sheets.
What's even more disgusting is that you can still hear the man's malicious smile: "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't worry, I will use as much strength as I have. I will never be reluctant to use my strength against a woman!"
He is not a human being!
Only then did she see clearly the person on her body. He had an expression that wanted to eat her. It was the same as the face of Naniwa Kawashima, her adoptive father who violated her. This scene had been flashing through her mind for countless nights. Zhang Hanqing's actions only allowed her to replicate this unbearable scene once again.
Apart from accepting your fate, you can only work hard to enjoy it, otherwise it will be another unbearable memory.
Zhang Hanqing’s feelings are also different. After a hard blow, there was resistance there, just as he had imagined, but it was not as strong as that of a girl. Although I didn't feel anything strange physically, mentally it was very pleasant.
Jin Bihui’s futile struggle inspired Zhang Hanqing’s courage. The queen has such a noble status and origin, and she is not seeking pleasure from you. You are just a princess - compared to Tang Yiying, this one is a real princess. Besides, you took the initiative to find me, don’t think that I don’t know!
The first time he treated Wanrong, he was gentle and rude: at least before proceeding, he was still carefully taking care of Wanrong's feelings, instead of completely releasing himself. But for Jin Bihui, he had no such scruples. Not only that, his actions were quite rough.
Let the storm come more violently!
"He is a beast" This was Jin Bihui's true reaction in his mind after being completely suppressed. It's true that she was a spy, but she used her brain more than her force, and she didn't receive the appropriate training. In the physical combat between men and women, she is obviously the weak one, otherwise she would not have been defiled by her 59-year-old adoptive father.
Her sad expression seemed to excite Zhang Hanqing even more, causing him to attack her one after another, destroying any organized or instinctive resistance she had. Under Jin Bihui's snake-like twisting, he was like an eagle spreading its wings, pinching her fatal spot in one fell swoop.
She widened her eyes, wanting to take a good look at this man. If the eyes were sharp swords, they would have penetrated deeply into Zhang Hanqing's body. If Zhang Hanqing could see it, he could see the eyes of hatred.
"It's a pity that eyes are eyes. What they can see is Zhang Hanqing's strong muscles and faint beads of sweat. Zhang Hanqing, on the other hand, only cared about galloping on the shallow grass and didn't care about anything else.
When he was enjoying himself, Jin Bihui gritted his teeth. Damn man! Never considerate, just stormy - that's how her adoptive father tortured her.
It was the young marshal who raped me, not me who was seducing the young marshal! The words Jin Bihui summed up when he was awake were quickly annihilated by the physical pleasure. No one knows what Zhang Hanqing was thinking at this moment, nor why he did it, but his movements showed people a majestic body with?Extremely strong vitality.
He really tried his best to ride on Jin Bihui's body.
That moment was heartfelt. For the first time, he didn't have to worry about the woman's feelings. Perhaps, in the heart of a man, there is an evil thought that continuously provides him with the source of evil. Anyway, Zhang Hanqing was filled with one idea, that is: conquer her! Defeat her!
Jin Bihui tried hard to resist him emotionally. She tried her best to put aside physical pleasure and mechanically allowed herself to be manipulated by Zhang Hanqing. Patience, patience, patience, this was something she was repeatedly emphasized during her spy training course, but she seemed unable to suppress her instinct. The fallen body told her that the young marshal had succeeded, and there was no need to let him see her hatred while her body was in pain, which would not help.
But the biggest advantage of a female spy is between her legs. She should make good use of it. Isn’t it what she wants to make Zhang Hanqing obsessed with her? There are still some important things that require the cooperation of the young commander. How can I sacrifice national affairs for my own sake? When she thought of this, she was frightened.
Then, she tried her best to smile, trying her best to show the obedience and flattery that a woman should have, at least she thought that was the case.
"How cruel he is now, how cruel his revenge will be in the future," she thought.
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing was immersed in hard work and did not see the fleeting look of hatred in her eyes.
"Men and women's affairs, once they adapt psychologically, will always show up physically, even if it is a false story. Anyway, everything happened step by step. Zhang Hanqing was like an oil driller, persevering in exploration movements. Under the slow and powerful impact, Jin Bihui began to react, and with it, the full oil field began to produce oil.
Jin Bihui's moans were a good conclusion to her efforts. When Zhang Hanqing fired the bullet into the bullseye, she gasped and accepted Zhang Hanqing's gift, even though most of it was against her will. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 813 Ready
The Juliu River was called Gouliu River and Juli River in ancient times. It was called Daliao River in the Han Dynasty and was called Juliu River in the Qing Dynasty.
Investigating its origin, there are two folk legends: one is that there are many willow trees along the river, which is homophonic to "giant willow" and is called "giant stream"; the other is that the Liaohe River reaches Tieling and Xinmin areas because it contains Qinghe River, Chaihe River, Xiushui River and so on. The main tributaries include the Liuhe River, the Raoyang River and the Yangximu River. The river surface is vast and the water is vast, so this section is called the Juliu River.
On closer inspection, the latter statement is more reasonable. Because before the Qing Dynasty, the Xinmin section of the Liaohe River was a boundless water country and a vast swamp, and it was indeed a "giant stream".
From Guannai to Shenyang via the Western Liaoning Corridor, the only way is to go south from Beizhen and cross the Liaohe River. There is no way to pass through the Xinmin section. It was not until the opening of the "Great Imperial Road" during the Huangtaiji period that one could cross the Liaohe River eastward via Yong'an Bridge and pass through the Liaoxi Corridor in the pass. Therefore, the hundreds of thousands of people who fled to the Northeast in the early Qing Dynasty almost all crossed the Liaohe River from Xinmin Section to Shenyang and then dispersed. to all parts of the Northeast.
Emperors Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing and Daoguang visited the east ten times to worship their ancestors, and most of them took this route when traveling eastward and returning to Luan. Until the Qianlong Dynasty, Chang Ji, a poet from Shenyang, still said in his poem "A Tour of the Juliu River": "The Liao River carries waves, and the great current is what it is."
The branch line of the Beijing-Shenyang Line, the railway section from Shenyang to Xinmin, was built under Japanese control. However, extending from Xinmin to Beizhen, and then to Xing'an and other provinces in northwestern Liaoning, they are completely handled and controlled by the Fengxi government.
This is an important branch line that promotes the inland Mongolian border. The security of many important railway facilities along the way, such as bridges and passing bazaars, is borne by the local armed police forces.
At dusk on September 21, a group of armed troops with live ammunition came to the station of the 2nd Squadron of the Xinmin County Brigade of the Shenyang Detachment of the Armed Police Liaoning Corps in charge of the Juliuhe Bridge. Although the number is not large, because they are cavalry, these numbers appear to be very spectacular.
The leading officer, whose rank was a major, ordered Hu Xiaomi, the captain of the Armed Police Squadron: "We are ordered to temporarily take over the defense of Juliuhe. Please surrender the defense area immediately and return to the camp!"
Hu Xiaomi was very vigilant: "Our department has not received the order? Please show the warrant." The management systems of the armed police and the army are not the same, and their responsibilities lie, so I have a question.
The major was very sure: "I just received a phone call for an urgent order. You can go to the top for confirmation, but please don't delay the military situation!" He stepped forward and whispered: "The commander will pass here tonight and will do a lot of things along the way. Level alert."
Now Hu Xiaomi believed it, Zhang Zuolin is staying in Shenyang now. However, he was somewhat critical of the commander-in-chief's choice of soldiers instead of armed police for his security: "Our police school teachers all said, 'There are specialties in the profession.' It's not about attacking cities and defending territory. When it comes to guarding and security work, the army may not have our armed police. Well done.”
"But the army came forward, so he should give in." However, he still sent someone to report to the top, and the reply he received was: "Of course the military tasks take priority!" So he was happy to have some time at ease.
After the armed police force left, the army quickly took control of both ends of the railway bridge. Not long after, a large group of people came from a distance, all dressed in short skirts. This group of people looked secretive, and they all carried small bags, and some of them carried larger bags with bulging bags and no one knew what was inside. Since it was almost night, I couldn't see clearly.
Seeing that there were soldiers on the railway bridge, they stood up from a distance. At this time, a man walked over in a swaggering manner. He asked the soldiers: "Which team is your unit from?"
The major came out and asked warily: "What do you do?"
The man held up his hand and said, "Brother, I have a batch of yellow croakers to cross the bridge. I wonder if I need to pay for the passage?"
The major raised his hand to let people go: "I won't collect taxes on my behalf - please cross the bridge."
Seeing that the code was correct, the man waved and the group of people came over. Although the major didn't recognize them, looking at their steps and expressions, he roughly knew that they were all soldiers. Each of them has their own tasks, so they don't see each other much.
The soldiers under my command had all said hello, and did not stop the movements of this group of people. Even those who had doubts were told that they were "maintaining the bridge deck." They were all illiterate men. They were instinctively afraid of these tough guys, so they ignored them.
This group of people are the people who were appointed to blow up the bridge. The people who did it were arranged by Sun Meiyao, and the explosives were prepared by Japan.
The military personnel came forward and were very agile. In a short period of time, Sun Meiyao obtained 200 kilograms of yellow explosives. In order to facilitate carrying and hiding, Japanese experts broke down these explosives into 40 small bags, each weighing only 5 kilograms.
To prevent human eyes and ears, the words "cement powder" or "paint powder" are also marked on the outside of the pouch. An agent who is a weapons expert is very good at doing this kind of thing.
This unit is the Li Shouxin Cavalry Regiment that was transferred from Duolun to Dahu Mountain on a starry night. Before that, they had secretly marched south for a long time under the pretense of training. Just to deceive others, it was not until the morning of that day that they suddenly approached the Dahu Mountain area. Of course, the order to mobilize troops was issued by the Shenyang Military Region Headquarters, and the director of the political department of the regiment and others believed it.
Even though they were friends, Sun Meiyao didn't dare to say too much. The assassination of Zhang Zuolin is not a trivial matter. Not only will there be many accidents during the process, but also subsequent tracing must be avoided. So Sun Meiyao decided to go to Guandong State to remain anonymous for a while after finishing this job. Anyway, with one hundred thousand oceans in hand, it would be enough for a long time.
And Li Shouxin made a huge bet: He didn't put the explosives, and he didn't give the order to mobilize troops. He thought he still had a buffer: if something happened midway or Zhang Zuolin didn't come, he would It is completely possible to make one inference and not to know the other three.
Now that everything was going well, he began to carefully plan his plan: as soon as the explosives went off, he would run away. Before that, he deposited the 100,000 yuan he took privately into the Taisho Bank of Japan in Northeast China without anyone noticing.
Although they were in vain, these skilled people still completed the task quickly. Before midnight, Sun Meiyao and his group secretly placed the 40 bags of explosives under the Juliu River Cave Bridge, and then hid under the cover of night under the roadbed 10 meters away, only to wait for a few hours to emerge from the roadbed. When the train from Shenyang passes by, press the detonator in your hand.
In the early morning of the 22nd, Japanese Consul General in Shenyang Kujiro Hayashi got up very early, climbed to the roof of his house and looked habitually in the direction of the Juliu River with a telescope, although he could not see anything. In another hour, around 6:25, Zhang Zuolin's train should arrive at Juliuhe Bridge.
With the planned explosive power, not only this train, but also the bridge foundation below it will be blown off. In this way, even if Zhang Zuolin was not killed in the explosion, he would have fallen into the rushing river along with the train.
With such a high altitude and a high-speed train, there was absolutely no possibility for him to survive. There was only one outcome: whether Zhang Zuolin was killed by the explosion or drowned.
What news will happen today that will shock the world? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 814 The golden cicada escapes from its shell
??
Jin Bihui slowly stood up. Her cheongsam was wrinkled and dirty. Needless to say, it was Zhang Hanqing's masterpiece.
No matter how much she is the most notorious female devil in history, she will not go out wearing such clothes. Ever since humans evolved from primitive society, no matter which dynasty or country they are from, public nudity has been regarded as a shame. Of course, exposing "spots" does not count. The island nation that later became famous for filming adult films is also an exception.
Zhang Hanqing, who was in a calm mood, was lying on the bed, proudly watching her embarrassment. If you don't talk about your inner feelings, such a woman can be regarded as a beauty. For men, women who take off their clothes are actually the same.
He pointed to the closet with a smile and said: "There, a set of clothes has been prepared for you."
Jin Bihui's restless mood was relieved. Even though her body had been admired enough by this man, she still walked to the closet with a shy face. When she opened the cabinet door, she was shocked.
There is only one set of clothes, which is the uniform of the People's Army. However, it looks like the size is small and should be prepared for female soldiers.
This guy has a lot of foresight!
But before her career was accomplished, she would not hesitate to sacrifice her female sex. Today, she took the initiative to put herself in the tiger's mouth, and she was not prepared to sacrifice her life. It's just that Zhang Hanqing was a little too impatient, causing her to evoke the unbearable memories of the past, which led to a fierce resistance. Otherwise, everyone will be happy today.
So there is the story that the young marshal "doesn't like red clothes and loves armed forces." However, only the person involved can interpret what kind of "love" he has.
With the young marshal as the "universal husband" as her background, even the armed police force guarding the palace knew her identity, and there was an explanation from the top, so Jin Bihui entered and exited the palace more freely, which also allowed her to calmly discuss "more secrets" with the emperor and empress. matters.
Puyi still attaches great importance to Xianju, who is a relative of the emperor. This is the only two members of the royal family who can discuss political gains and losses with him over the years. The other is Pujie.
“But Xianju’s role is even greater, because not only can she get confidential information from the Japanese, but she can also gain the favor of the young marshal. The ability to settle relationships between several parties shows her skill.
She and Puyi had an in-depth discussion about going to the Northeast, and also hinted that there will be great changes in the capital. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Puyi, on the other hand, seemed hesitant. After all, the future outside the customs is uncertain, but if you stay in Beijing, you can still be satisfied with the preferential status. Even though there were repeated reports of moving out of the Forbidden City, it turned out to be groundless; and, according to the preferential treatment regulations, he should have moved out of the palace.
Puyi, who had been frightened by Zhang Xun's restoration, really couldn't make up his mind. Jin Bihui knew that it was time to give him a strong dose. The next day, Puyi received a threatening phone call and then a threatening letter.
For several days, Puyi's nerves were tense. The two bombs finally found on the Dragon Throne, although they were proven to be fake, still frightened the emperor sitting in the Dragon Throne.
Jin Bihui took the opportunity to bring a statement from the Japanese Kwantung Army: "If Puyi does not obey, the Japanese will support his younger brother Puwei as emperor"! Although it was a threat, Puyi became suspicious.
He quietly called Jin Bihui: "There are armed police guards outside the palace and tight security along the route from Beijing to Tianjin. How did I get outside the customs safely?" After this series of frights and excitement, it seemed that Puyi had made up his mind to go to the Northeast.
This has been carefully planned, and Doihara Kenji has long decided to take the water route. As long as you can get to Tianjin, Tianjin and Dalian are separated by a water, and the Japanese still have considerable advantages at sea. As long as you enter the sea, you can almost leave calmly. Although this is a bit slower, it has the highest safety factor and is much better than taking the Beijing-Shenyang Line where there is a chance of being interrogated by the People's Army.
Originally, for the sake of maximum safety, Tutu Fei only planned to bring a few key figures to Guandong Prefecture, such as Zheng Xiaoxu and his son, Qi Jizhong, etc. Several other senior advisers who have been following the emperor for a long time, such as Yoshida Chuotaro, Kamikaku Riichi, Kudo Tada, Otani Takeru and others, are not in a hurry because they are Japanese.
As for the queen, it doesn’t matter. If you have an emperor, are you still afraid of not having a queen?
But the emperor could not keep Wanrong. The relationship with the young marshal was already in a tumultuous relationship. If he was allowed to stay, it would be strange if the angry young marshal didn't let himself wear cuckolds! So can this emperor's prestige still be able to control the four directions and allow all parties to come to court? Although he had begun to feel tired of the Queen's affairs, he had to take the Queen with him life and death, otherwise he would rather stay in the Forbidden City.
In order to appease the emperor's infatuation and successfully complete the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere Plan" to establish the "Puppet Manchukuo" and further annex all of China, the Japanese military had to temporarily find a way to bring the queen to Manchuria. Considering that it would be inconvenient for a woman to pick him up, Jin Bihui, who had entered the enemy's cave, was ordered to do so again.
Based on her "excellent" performance in the "Palace Bomb Incident" - no one has the opportunity to talk to the emperor heart-to-heart and understand his heart better than the smart Jin Bihui, and no one has access to the water. Just to plant the bomb——Considering that she is a member of the Aixinjuehuang family, judging from her usual character, words and deeds, she is also a very suitable candidate.
Of course, Jin Bihui, who is determined to do a big business, once again took the initiative to take the lead.
With the status of a relative of the imperial family, Jin Bihui, known to the Japanese as Yoshiko Kawashima, was a figure who could freely enter and exit the palace without appearing out of place at all.
This time Kawashima Yoshiko brought a friend who was as frail as a patient and arranged for "her" to live in a room in the palace. This sick friend is actually not a woman at all, but a handsome man disguised as a woman. As a result, a good show of "delivering a living person in a coffin" was staged.
Acting requires the cooperation of the queen. The queen must be very willing to get rid of the shackles of the young commander, right?
For Wanrong, although the emperor suddenly decided to leave Beijing and go outside the customs, she had already thought about it, but such a sudden trip still surprised her.
From the beginning to the end, according to this principle, she should follow. However, when she thought about the "diagnosed" fetus in her belly, she began to worry about gain and loss again: in a few months, she would no longer be able to hide it from others. The emperor's inhumane nature is already a secret that cannot be told by the whole world. How can she face all aspects of it?
She said hesitantly: "Is there any danger?"
Jin Bihui said confidently: "Don't be afraid. The emperor will go first by car. As long as he reaches Tianjin, he will be safe and can take the waterway calmly. As for the queen, I will use a method to let you leave the palace first, and then take a car to Fengtianjing Transfer to Guandong Prefecture. As long as the Emperor is safe, no one will care about you, Queen."
In her heart, Shenyang is still called "Fengtian", while Dalian is legitimately called "Guandong Prefecture".
A few days later, news came out from the palace that the friend brought by Prince Su, Fourteenth Princess, died of illness. Kawashima Yoshiko wiped away her tears and made a sad expression. Queen Wanrong also had a sad look on her face. Her maid also knelt down and kowtowed in front of the fake soul to express her condolences. The servants also followed behind and bowed.
According to Chinese traditional customs, a person must be transported back to his hometown after death, so the coffin was transported out of the palace in a grand manner, but the coffin contained Queen Wanrong, and she was alive. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 815 Exposed
??
The journey was smooth and smooth.
Emperor Puyi went to Tianjin with a group of people in the morning. Now that the queen has successfully escaped from the palace, there is no one who cannot be found in a day and a half. Even if they make a fuss, it will take a while to find out where they have gone. I'm afraid they can only be discovered in Kanto Prefecture at this time.
It was done, but Jin Bihui was not very happy. After this incident, with the capabilities of the People's Party's intelligence agency, they will definitely seize this clue to find out his identity. At that time, it will be even more difficult to take revenge calmly.
What she wants to avenge is that she was raped, and it is also necessary for the plan. Now the plan to deal with Zhang Zuolin must have worked, but Zhang Hanqing, the best target, still suffers from no chance. And she, because of her skin-to-skin contact with him, now clearly has a good chance.
As long as you are willing to cut him, you dare to pull the emperor down. Isn't the young marshal as lustful as his soul? Then try your best to humiliate him again and seize the opportunity to get rid of him! Judging from what happened that day, the young marshal was very relaxed about being in his territory, and no one else showed up from the beginning to the end. Even as she left, the guards didn't even question her.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? give a giving a window and a chance mark for the queen to escape? As we all know, the young marshal has been publicly harassing the queen before. With him pestering him, at least there would be less trouble.
Eat the marrow to know the taste. Zhang Hanqing, who had already gained happy memories, obviously liked her arrival very much. He looked at Jin Bihui's handsome dress in the uniform of a female soldier of the People's Army with a smile, and an evil thought came to his heart.
Regarding Zhang Hanqing’s intention of asking her to wear a female soldier’s uniform, Jin Bihui probably knew what he wanted to do. Judging from the preparations that had been hung in the closet for a long time, the young commander was very interesting to her, even though this meaning meant physical sacrifice for her.
Wear it as you like, it will inevitably cause physical insult anyway, and this outfit also has two advantages: one is that it is convenient to hide weapons; the other is that it is convenient to escape - you don't even need to change your clothes.
She carefully selected a small silenced pistol, loaded it and placed it in the groove of her chest. The already tall and straight place will not attract anyone's attention at all.
There are no metal detectors in this era. As a young marshal's woman, it is estimated that other than the young marshal, other people will not be able to touch these places. With the naked eye, those in the Central Guard Corps have not yet cultivated to the point of sharp eyes. It's not like you can see what's inside through the military uniform.
She chose to set out in the evening because it was easier to hide her pistol under this kind of sight. Moreover, it was probably already night after the incident, which would be very beneficial for her to escape.
It is still the old Marshal's Mansion, and Zhang Hanqing still looks calm and calm. Jin Bihui snorted in her heart: "Why do you pretend to be a gentleman? What is the difference between you and an animal in private!" Among the two men she has experienced in her life so far, the young marshal and her adoptive father are not good people!
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "I haven't talked to Miss Jin for several days. What has Miss Jin been busy with these days? Even old friends have been forgotten!"
Jin Bihui suppressed the contempt in his heart and put a smile on his face. He only had a protective pistol on his waist. If he reacted quickly enough, could he draw the pistol before him?
The answer is no. Because her gun was tightly strapped to her chest, to prevent it from accidentally falling off, she sealed it with tape on her flesh. If I had known that no one would check me when I entered the handsome man's house, how could I have just carried it on my body?
Zhang Hanqing was not interested in talking to her about the weather. He held her hand diligently and led her to the bedroom. She had walked this road once, but it left behind unpleasant memories. Now, when she needed to create an opportunity, she suppressed her heartbeat and followed him as calmly as possible.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? This is also the tacit understanding formed in the house: as long as there are young marshals and beautiful women, this is the case.
The path was winding and long. Jin Bihui thought of firing his gun quickly many times, but just to be sure, he was just looking for opportunities. But Zhang Hanqing was half-armed around her waist, and she was afraid that he would touch her breasts and reveal her secrets, so she could only pay careful attention. I was on tenterhooks for a long time the whole way, so what chance could I talk about?
It’s a good opportunity to enter the bedroom, right? Far from it. Zhang Hanqing kept staring at her and had no chance to make a move. It is said that when the young marshal was teaching martial arts in Liaoning, his performance in assassinations and shootings was as good as his military studies. It was not a good idea to attack him head-on against such a tall man.
Jin Bihui waited for Zhang Hanqing's desire. As long as he thought about it, he would definitely cooperate with taking off his clothes and belt this time, and quickly took out the weapon when he was caught off guard. At that time, in such a short distance, even he was Daluo Jinxian. bullet. Here, no one will know.
But Zhang Hanqing was rare and not anxious. Instead, he smiled at her with admiration and evil intentions, and there was no movement for a long time. This made her a little surprisedDon't move! "With a loud and powerful shout, countless spears poured in from the windows and doorways. Jin Bihui was concentrating on thinking about what kind of actions would not slow down her journey, when she was suddenly startled by these sounds and instinctively tightened her shirt.
He turned around with a pale face, confused.
Those are the masters among the masters in the Central Guard Corps. The elites responsible for Zhang Hanqing's internal security are all out-and-out sharpshooters. Knowing their existence from legends, Jin Bihui knew that his own ability was not enough to compete with any of them. But despite being surprised, she still looked like a weak woman: "Young Marshal, what are you doing?"
Zhang Hanqing said lightly: "I am a lustful person. It is a man's nature. There is nothing to say. But if you die for a woman's lust, it is not worth the loss. You are a Chinese, but you insist on recognizing a thief as your father. In order to serve the Kwantung Army You have worked so hard to sacrifice your life. You want to drag Puyi to the Northeast to support the puppet emperor, but you also want to kill my father and son. Kawashima Yoshiko, long time no see!"?

Chapter 816: The blessing of love is the blessing of having an affair
??
Hearing him call out her identity, Yoshiko Kawashima knew that she had failed. However, it was such a secret thing, and he had only been in Beijing for a few days, how could they see through it? I even know my own Japanese name!
Can you not know? Yoshiko Kawashima was famous in later generations. Zhang Hanqing watched several movies about her in later generations: the role played by Anita Mui and the movies starring Stephen Chow and Andy Lau were his favorites at the time. Even without seeing him in person, the name Jin Bihui alone is enough to make Zhang Hanqing wary.
The first time I met her, she was not prepared at all, so she was forced to eat tofu. This was also the reason why Zhang Hanqing broke the precept and was rude to a woman for the first time since time travel. Although He Wanrong broke the precept and used force, the actions he performed were still very gentle. of.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? However, for being able to avenge the disasters caused by the Japanese in China in a small way in his previous life (or in the future), Zhang Hanqing is happy to be called ungentlemanly.
Since her appearance, Zhang Hanqing has recalled events related to her in history: Huanggutun, Emperor Xuantong's trip to the Northeast, and the North China Incident Although history has taken a small turn because of his appearance, human power is infinite. It must be guarded against.
So he knew almost everything she did in the palace: placing bombs, directing the sending of threatening letters and phone calls, arranging the travel of the emperor and the empress As for her assassination of herself, there is no description in history, but someone reported it.
It was Queen Wanrong who told this secret.
Deeply influenced by the "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" ethics, Wanrong was ashamed and angry after Zhang Hanqing's divorce, but she chose to swallow her anger because she was concerned about the reputation and safety of her husband and family. But later, as the relationship between the two became closer, as the saying goes, "love grows with time", her mentality gradually changed.
“She has a husband in name only, and a husband physically and in reality on the other, making it difficult for her to make a choice.
But when the female military doctor sent by Zhang Hanqing diagnosed the fetus in her belly, this became the key to her decision to give birth.
When things were revealed outside the customs, she and her family would inevitably be humiliated, and she couldn't face it; besides, through Zhang Hanqing's influence, she was able to realize that Puyi was obviously being used by the Japanese. This makes sense for deciding against the traitors. Didn't the young marshal say that he wanted her to divorce Puyi? That's a good excuse.
A woman’s heart is like a needle in the sea. When Kawashima Yoshiko, whose pseudonym was Jin Bihui, informed Wanrong of her escape plan, she never thought that the last empress of the Manchu Qing Dynasty would change hands and tell Zhang Hanqing the news.
"Zhang Hanqing is not stupid. The message Wanrong asked Tang Yiying to bring before was "he can't even protect himself." One sentence made Zhang Hanqing understand that someone was going to attack him. Thinking of the appearance of Yoshiko Kawashima, and the fact that she still came to find him despite the risk of being exposed, it was clear that she wanted to attack him.
Unlike He Wanrong, they have reached a certain tacit understanding through physical contact and daily communication. He didn't have any feelings for Kawashima Yoshiko, all he had was a physical injury to her. Could it be that if he raped her, she would fall deeply in love with him? He wouldn't believe such a bloody plot at all.
Therefore, the proactive Kawashima Yoshiko was able to enter the Marshal's Mansion calmly and easily avoid numerous guards because Zhang Hanqing had signaled it in advance. He wanted to see what happened to this famous female spy in history after she met him!
Under the gunfire, Kawashima Yoshiko did not dare to move at all. There was no doubt that she was dead. In this case, why do you need to look embarrassed? Besides, she still had some questions to ask, otherwise she would die in peace.
Several female security personnel who had arranged in advance came forward and handcuffed her behind her back, and pulled her aside to search her body carefully. With the same skill, he quickly took out the silenced pistol from her bra.
After confirming that there were no safety risks, they nodded to Zhang Hanqing. After receiving Zhang Hanqing's nod, they quickly sank into the abyss like the guns at the crack of the window and door.
Kawashima Yoshiko asked reluctantly: "How do you know my name?"
Zhang Hanqing said calmly: "Because I am the unique Zhang Hanqing! The young marshal of the Republic of China!"
"When others mention their own words, it is a kind of humility, but he is a picture of a villain who has succeeded. It's not that he didn't say it, but it was too laborious and mysterious to explain. He couldn't say that he had traveled through time, right? He decided to keep this matter in the coffin forever and not reveal it to anyone.
Since this shortcoming became the explanation, Kawashima Yoshiko settled for the next best thing. She asked: "Is there a flaw in me?"
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "Even if I don't know that you are Yoshiko Kawashima, there are at least a few things that make me suspicious. First of all?Encounter, everything is caused by the demise of the country. That’s why I hate men, and I hate you Han people for taking away our banner people’s territory! "
Zhang Hanqing's voice suddenly rose, and he shouted: "Is this the reason for you to betray your country and seek glory?! The Manchu Qing court was ignorant and backward, and it ceded land and harmed the country. It was replaced by the Republic of China, and the world returned to its heart. We are all of the same lineage as China. As a Manchu nobleman, you, But you did not hesitate to collude with the Japanese and try to lure the wolf into the house! It is a shame that your adoptive father is Japanese, but you still work for them! If your delusion succeeds this time, China will have to go through many hardships." He pointed at Yoshiko Kawashima: "You It is not a pity to die if you accept a thief as your father!"
Kawashima Yoshiko raised her face and said: "If you die, you will die. If the plan fails, I am ashamed of the empire!"
She looked like she was being killed by her neck, and she really had the courage of a martyr to go to the execution ground and die generously. It's just that her loyalty was in the wrong direction, and she forgot that the blood of Chinese people was flowing in her bones, and what she did was a deed that would be infamy for thousands of years. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 817 Physical Revenge
??
Zhang Hanqing was completely angered by her stubbornness.
There are so many warlords in the Zhili and Anhui cliques. Although they have been fighting among themselves for many years, they can still sit together with the Feng clique to discuss national affairs. This relies on their deep-rooted firmness towards foreign invaders. Internal fighting is internal fighting, involving major issues. Many warlords have more backbone than many people. This is the backbone of China. Even though they were once enemies, they deserve respect.
On the contrary, there is a group of people who have completely forgotten who their ancestors are and have lost their personality: they regard their enemies as benefactors and their relatives as enemies. What kind of twisted mind is this? How could he not feel hatred in his heart!
The hatred for the Japanese has soaked into Zhang Hanqing’s blood. From the Japanese pirate era to the Nanjing Massacre to the comfort women, he was full of hatred for this small Oriental country.
He could accept the September 18th and July 7th Incidents and even the full-scale invasion of China: if you fall behind, you will be beaten. This world originally abides by the law of the jungle, so you can't blame others. However, the various inhuman and even inhuman abuses inflicted on the occupied areas far exceeded his bottom line.
So when Kawashima Yoshiko, whose pseudonym is Jin Bihui, appeared and was insulted by his hospitality, we can think of his motto "a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood" and the fact that women have always been consensual. , he must have his reasons.
This is also the reason why Kawashima Yoshiko was willing to serve a tiger but was addicted to it. It was just because Zhang Hanqing thought of one thing: since the Japanese can commit so many crimes against China, these "captured personnel" cannot be dealt with so easily. it's over. In history, more than 20 million people died in China, and it took a whole generation of backwardness to execute seven war criminals. This account is not worth it no matter how you calculate it.
"I want to take revenge. This is what he wants from his heart, and it is also what he has been pursuing since time travel!"
He suppressed his anger and said: "Chinese people pay attention to complaining with virtue. This style ends here! 'Complaining with virtue, how can you embrace virtue?' In my hands, you will not do such a stupid thing! So, you want me I will do the same thing if you want to save your life——you won’t blame me, will you?”
Kawashima Yoshiko has long been determined to put life and death aside. She said in a disdainful tone: "I will die at most. My life was given to me by the Japanese Empire. It is my supreme honor to be loyal to the Emperor. Just do it!"
Zhang Hanqing suddenly smiled ferociously and said: "Want to die? It's not that easy! You killed me, but failed; so I will kill you once, but I am different from you, I will let you die happily, so that we can be even. ”
Kawashima Yoshiko knew something was wrong. Only then did she realize that not only was she vicious, but the man in front of her was also unwilling to give in. She wanted to escape outside, even if he beat her to death from behind. In her line of work, life and death had already been put aside.
But how could Zhang Hanqing let her escape so easily? He jumped up, grabbed her arm behind her back, pulled her, and made her turn around obediently.
Fashion with healthy hands is no match for him, not to mention that both hands are now being cuffed behind his back? Zhang Hanqing's unknown anger was already aroused, and he was determined to give this woman a taste of his power again, so that she would regret serving the Japanese in her next life. When the female guards were searching her just now, the buttons she had unbuttoned made it very convenient for him to stretch out his hands.
This is another different experience. He doesn't have to worry about any of this woman's feelings, but only needs to act recklessly.
The military uniform she wore gave him a strong sense of conquest, "uniform" and "temptation". Wasn't this first invented by the Japanese? Now, I want to repay him with his own way. After so many years of crawling around in the barracks, if the woman with handcuffed hands in front of me can't conquer it, it's useless to call her a tough guy!
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of a moment's time, Kawashima Yoshiko's well-maintained legs were revealed again. Seeing the familiar scene again after a few days, Zhang Hanqing was full of fighting spirit.
When the olive green of the military uniform hides her sexy legs, it is very visually impactful.
Kawashima Yoshiko thought of being humiliated again before she died, and she shouted desperately: "I am a subject of the Japanese Empire. The two countries are at war without killing the envoys. You can't insult me ??like this! Don't you still want to join the Geneva Convention? Of?"
“Hey, you know a lot about Chinese culture and China’s political actions, but are you a messenger? You are just a traitor and an executioner stained with the blood and tears of the Chinese people!
We did not sign this convention, and the Geneva Convention is not valid against spies.
Zhang Hanqing became even more angry. While undressing and taking off his belt, he pressed her head deeply when he had time. You know this tradition, why do we still treat the Chinese people like this in future generations! The Lushun Massacre, the Fushun Massacre, the Nanjing Massacrewhen they massacred the wounded Chinese soldiers who laid down their weapons and the unarmed Chinese people, why didn't you mention this at that time!
"Within daysI'll arrange the signing tomorrow, don't worry. But now, you are not the one it wants to protect! "
Kawashima Yoshiko knew that she would not be spared. She cried with anger and said: "Don't you claim to give preferential treatment to prisoners!"
However, Zhang Hanqing was a cautious person. He slowly pushed forward and said proudly in her ear: "Because I don't know what weapons you are carrying, you are not considered a prisoner yet. I want to check it carefully first. Are there any hidden weapons?" At this time, she could no longer argue, he had already started.
This time it no longer stops at satisfying personal venting of anger, it has risen to the national level, so Zhang Hanqing is very attentive. He searched carefully and desperately, quitting every time by buying the bottom, so as not to miss a single blind spot.
In his mind, he could vaguely see the entire country of Japan crying under his body.
"This is a clarion call, blowing the charge to challenge Japan!" Thinking of this, he was condescending, explaining things in simple terms, majestic and hard-hearted.
An unknown smell began to fill the air, and there began to be strange sounds in the room. The two people, who are getting better and better, have involuntarily reduced their confrontation and begun limited cooperation. Accompanied by Zhang Hanqing's breathing and Kawashima Yoshiko's sobs, a friendly situation between China and Japan is taking shape.
Isn't it a conjunction of heaven?
I don’t know how long it took before Zhang Hanqing sent out the most deadly weapon. These men's most powerful weapons will take root and sprout pervasively as soon as conditions are met, leaving permanent chrome marks on women.
After resting for a long time, Zhang Hanqing finally recovered and felt that his legs were numb. It is said that the old man has a good posture when pushing the cart, but no matter how good he is, he is still an old man. After exerting so much effort, can he not be tired? What's more, it has lasted for so long, even a tough person can't stand it!
Looking at Yoshiko Kawashima, Zhang Hanqing was helpless for a while. There are only tired oxen and no plowed fields. It is indeed a golden word. What was originally meant to be revenge has now become a blessing. Hey, man, your name is weak!
At this moment, Zhang Zongchang’s loud voice sounded in the distance: “Young Marshal, look, who I brought back!”
Zhang Hanqing, who had stopped riding, cheered up: "Brother Xiaokun, you came just in time!"? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 818 Skynet
??
Zhang Zongchang is a famous general who is known for his drunkenness and lasciviousness. He has more than 20 concubines at home. His ability in this area is amazing, otherwise how could he cope with it? In a one-on-one battle, we are no match, but in a wheel battle, we can always be better, right? And with Zhang Zongchang's character, he is probably very interested in a woman of Kawashima Yoshiko's status, right?
It is better to have fun alone than to have fun together. Sharing good things together makes us good brothers.
Zhang Zongchang is the commander-in-chief responsible for this response. In fact, there wasn't much to do. The "Ministry of National Security" had already set up spies everywhere, waiting for him, the person in charge, to close the net.
Puyi and his party finally breathed a sigh of relief after escaping from Beijing in panic. In order to escape this time, he arranged to buy three cars and drove all the way along the newly paved Beijing-Tianjin Highway. Zheng Xiaoxu and others were all dressed as businessmen, and Puyi also made up as a rich man.
By the Yongding River, a passenger ship renovated from a warship was already waiting at the Tianjin Port on time. As long as you get on the ship and hang the Japanese military flag, it means "Once the Yellow Crane is gone, it will never return." The strength of the People's Army Navy or Coast Guard is not enough to dare to engage in a water battle with the Japanese, not to mention there is a Kanto Prefecture not far away.
But since he was prepared in advance, the emperor's trip was destined to be fruitless. Although the Japanese are very powerful in North China, they are far more powerful than the people's army and police who occupy the state machinery. Just as a group of people got out of the car and rushed to the dock, Zhang Zongchang appeared.
This is the person Emperor Puyi is most afraid of, no one else. The other people in the Feng clan still took care of their reputation as a submissive emperor to some extent. Even the young marshal only gave him occasional lessons. But if you think about it on the bright side, isn't it a heartfelt message from the eldest brother to his younger brother?
Only this Zhang Zongchang doesn't care about this. He dares to go to heaven and earth to rape the Queen Mother and the Weaver Girl. It is estimated that as long as Zhang Hanqing gives an order, he can deal with the emperor.
Zhang Zongchang is quite kind even if he is not angry. He asked with a rare smile: "Emperor, if you don't just stay in the palace, why are you coming to Tianjin?"
The emperor's voice was so vulgar that it immediately touched the nerves of the royalists. Zheng Xiaoxu was the main figure who persuaded Puyi to go to Guandong, so naturally he couldn't just sit back and watch. He stepped forward and shouted: "Who are you, who dare to disrespect the emperor?"
Zhang Zongchang suddenly raised his palm and struck him in the face: "Who are you! When I am talking to the emperor, do you have the right to interrupt?"
Zheng Xiaoxu was old, and his hands and feet were weak. He saw the palm coming and could not avoid it. He took this blow firmly and was beaten to pieces, and he couldn't figure it out for a long time. In his memory, except for his teacher who slapped his palms with a ruler when he was a child in private school, no one had ever done anything to him like this.
For such a respected Taifu, he would never think that someone would "slap" him in the face directly. In front of everyone, no matter what, his face was completely humiliated.
He thought that he would die without being able to lift it up in one breath. Unfortunately, the face is the most amazing organ in the human body. In medicine, there are almost no ready-made examples of people who died from being slapped in the face. I wanted to use non-medical methods to do it, but there were no available items on site. Almost all of them walked empty-handed, and naturally they didn't have poisonous wine or Bai Ling; it was impossible for this group of unarmed believers to die even if they wanted to.
Puyi quickly helped Zheng Xiaoxu up. There were not many such loyal people around him. These old masters were the ones he relied on spiritually. He angrily accused Zhang Zongchang and said: "How dare you insult my teacher! How dare you insult my teacher!" But that was all he said over and over again, because he really had no way to reverse the situation.
The glory of the Qing Dynasty has passed, and the outdated emperor can no longer mobilize even a single soldier. Facing the Kuomintang generals who hold heavy troops, he is really helpless.
Zhang Zongchang looked as if nothing had happened, and said carelessly: "It's already the Republic of China, why are you still talking about 'I' and 'I'? Damn! Besides, I've been beaten, so you're biting me!"
Pu Yi had nothing to do with such a bastard. When a scholar encounters a soldier, he can't explain what is right. At this point, arguing with Zhang Zongchang about these useless things is not only meaningless, but may ruin the big thing.
He didn’t know why Zhang Zongchang appeared here, but when he thought about the seriousness of the matter being exposed, he made escape the first priority. He said helplessly to Zhang Zongchang: "I, um, I want to visit my father. Isn't this also possible?"
Puyi’s biological father, the original regent Zaifeng, lived in Tianjin after he abdicated. The tepid relationship between father and son was not worthy of Puyi’s starry night visit. But at this time, is there any better way to say it?
Zhang Zongchang nodded: "That's good. But didn't the Queen come with you?"
Puyi said without hesitation: "The queen has been ill recently.?Unable to make the trip. "
Zhang Zongchang nodded again. Just when Puyi and others thought that there was a big turn for the better, Zhang Zongchang suddenly said loudly: "Is she suffering from the disease of fake death? She can't come to Tianjin, but she can take the train and walk such a long way to Shenyang instead of accompanying the emperor to visit her father-in-law." , so what do you say?"
Like a bolt from the blue, Puyi and his old friends were stunned. If you even know such a secret thing, then I am afraid that others have figured out the purpose of your visit, right?
“If that’s the case, why are you still hiding it? Shrinking your head is just a slap in the face, so it is better to take this opportunity to vent the grievances he has held for many years. He rarely lost his temper: "I am the leader of the world, and the government of the Republic of China has not restricted my actions"
Zhang Zongchang interrupted him coldly. He raised his hand, and countless soldiers holding spears appeared from a distance.
"On the order of the young commander, I will directly take the emperor Puyi and his entourage into custody. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!" He said with murderous intent.
"The military order is like a mountain. Only now do these academics who have read poetry and books truly understand the weight of this sentence." The expressionless morale does not matter whether you are a prince, minister, emperor, empress or general. They just follow military orders as their criterion. Pu Yi and all the ministers were at a loss. It was not until the end that Pu Yi remembered something. He shouted: "I want to see the young commander!"
Although Zhang Hanqing showed no respect for him at all, it did not hurt his dignity, and there were endless stories between him and the queen. With the young marshal's character, I'm afraid he will be saved, right? Only now did he begin to understand the meaning of why the young marshal kept telling him to "be good and listen to him". As long as you can save your life, it doesn't matter if you listen to him.
Fortunately, Zhang Zongchang also received a secret order from Zhang Hanqing, and he didn't do anything for himself. He just ordered the group of people to be escorted to a People's Army barracks in Tianjin and guarded secretly. Because it was surrounded by the People's Army, basically the outside world didn't know what was going on. Maybe the country concerned knows about it, but they will definitely not talk nonsense.
Similarly, Wanrong was stopped at the Beijing Railway Station after leaving the palace. Nothing happened to Wanrong, but the few people brought by Yoshiko Kawashima suffered a lot.
Since it happened in a densely populated train station, the news that "the queen was captured by the Japanese and escaped" spread quickly and became a hot topic in those days. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 819 Before Dawn
The excited Zhang Zongchang rushed back to Zhang Hanqing overnight. According to the plan, there will be a new round of operations tomorrow morning. Zhang Zongchang was particularly interested in arresting people for murder. Of course, there are women.
The treatment of emperors and empresses was completely different. As required, Wanrong was taken into a quiet house to wait for further clarification of the situation. During this time she will be treated very well, and her maids will follow her.
After completing these things, Zhang Zongchang returned to his hometown and waited for Zhang Hanqing's instructions. This Shandong man with a reckless and rough appearance, after following Zhang Hanqing, used his cleverness and loyalty to win the favor of the old and young marshals among the veterans of the Feng Dynasty.
According to historical evaluation, many of his actions are despised by Zhang Hanqing, but his performance in reality makes Zhang Hanqing very satisfied: many things that he wants to do but are not easy to do in order to maintain a positive and glorious image can be done through his hands. to do things like pick up girls.
"This is Zhang Zongchang's headquarters in name, but in fact it is Zhang Hanqing's paradise. Lao Zhang pinched his nose and acquiesced.
Hearing that the young marshal was accomplishing his good deeds, Zhang Zongchang was very envious: Why did the young marshal always have such a good life and let countless beauties throw themselves into his arms, while his own wives were all rotten? At the same time, he was a little curious: the young marshal had put all those who were on the stage, like Wanrong, Jin Bihui, and Tang Yiying, what should he do? With a mindset of learning and admiration, he approached Zhang Hanqing's bedroom here.
Zhang Hanqing had already dressed up calmly and calmly. Zhang Zongchang briefly reported the emperor and empress' handling process while peeking at him secretly. Who is that wonderful man lying on the bed if not Jin Bihui? It looks particularly dazzling under the light.
It’s not that Zhang Zongchang has seen little of the world, but her posture is too tempting: her hands are handcuffed behind her back, and she is struggling to get up. The clothes on the upper body are still complete, but they are too fluffy to look good, and the two tight jade legs are telling something silently.
It can be seen that there was a fierce battle here just now. Zhang Zongchang is not a gentleman, and some of his reactions are normal.
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "This woman almost killed me with a gun, but fortunately I was able to subdue her. She is a Japanese spy and is hopeless. Now I will leave her to you. Open her mouth and put her Pull out all the people you know, and as long as they don’t die, I won’t care about the rest.”
If you eat meat yourself, you have to give some soup to your younger brother, otherwise no one will be motivated.
If Zhang Hanqing couldn't understand what Zhang Hanqing said, Zhang Zongchang would be fooling around in vain. He grinned: "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and they know me, the young marshal. She dares to attack the young marshal? I'm going to poke her later." A few holes and a good lesson!”
The two of them smiled tacitly. Zhang Hanqing just said "good luck" to Zhang Zongchang and then left the room. The setting sun fell on his shadow, making him look extra slender. Here, he decided not to come again.
While Zhang Hanqing was leaving, Zhang Zongchang was already vigorously whipping the unruly horse. Unlike Zhang Hanqing who had the kindness of a gentleman, Zhang Zongchang didn't care about this. He had the opportunity to fight in the same trench as the young marshal. If he didn't act like a warrior, he would feel that he had lost a good opportunity. Of course, his pattern was strikingly similar to Zhang Hanqing's, but he worked on it three times until he was exhausted.
Kawashima Yoshiko has been tortured to the point of being reduced to a human form. Only then did she realize that life was worse than death. Zhang Zongchang, this big bull-like man, showed his true bravery in her. Although she was still psychologically resistant to being fucked by the young commander, at least she could still get good physical pleasure. The big black bull completely treated her as a tool. It turns out that people are really different!
Zhang Hanqing has no intention of paying attention to Kawashima Yoshiko's thoughts and bad luck now.
That woman brought it upon herself, and he showed no mercy at all. Although it was not honorable for a man to bully a woman, was she really just a woman? How to settle the accounts of the countless Chinese people who were bullied by her in the future or previous lives? He supports humanitarianism and appreciates peace treaties, but he should make an exception for executioners stained with Chinese blood.
Forgetting the past means betrayal! The Chinese are so kind that they are looked down upon by everyone and despised by their own people.
“In our most difficult time, we starved to death countless people, but we had to give away the life-saving food shipped to China to others on the way, euphemistically calling it internationalism.
We selflessly supported North Korea and Vietnam, regardless of the fact that the country was just established and hundreds of businesses were unemployed. What was the result? They took the rations we saved from the people's mouths and scolded us while eating; they used new weapons that we were not equipped with, and they came to attack us at any time!
Looking back on these sad past lives, Zhang Hanqing deeply understood a truth: the relationship between countries is a transactional relationship. China's revolution and construction depends on itself, and the lifeblood of other countries is also in the hands of other countries.We have no obligation to endorse them!
??Similarly, kindness and tolerance cannot be exchanged for the status of a major country or respect. The war between China, the United States, and North Korea made the Chinese people stand up; in later generations, the United States showed off its power all over the world, but no one spoke out; in the dispute over the South China Sea, China's legal basis that "the South China Sea was controlled by China in ancient times" cannot be shaken by countless greedy people. mouth and the speculative mentality of those who try to fish in troubled waters.
In the near future, the world will still believe in the law of the jungle, and China still has a long way to go.
Having cast such a wide net, it’s time for harvest and season. If China wants to be strong, it is urgent to strengthen the leadership of the People's Party. The scenes in Congress some time ago have caused subtle changes in his thinking of introducing the process of democracy in China. Take this opportunity to pacify the internal situation first, then fight against the external situation, and give the people a brand new China!
He came to the Military Commission’s office overnight, where the lights were bright. Jiang Baili, Han Linchun, Jiang Dengxuan, Wang Yizhe are issuing secret orders to their trusted troops and making plans in advance.
It is important to seize this opportunity to get rid of the mole, but we must not allow the army to become chaotic or the situation to get out of control. He believed that the vast majority of officers and troops could withstand this test and pass the inspection in this incident or test.
The Shenyang Military Region, the Armed Police Force, the Internal Security Forces, and the National Security System will all undergo a review; the People's Army's command system and political system will also face a real test.
The most important thing is the Politburo, Standing Committee, and Military Commission, which are at the core of the People's Party. What are their choices? The results are very promising.
We know people’s hearts when they are down and out, and loyal ministers when the country is in trouble. What is the attitude of the princes of the eight military regions at this time? Is the loyalty to the party and support for the old and young marshals they express over and over again sincere or false? Everything will soon be revealed.
This may cause temporary turmoil, but you can take the opportunity to review the troops, which is better than any military parade; and you can take the opportunity to declare a national emergency, completely changing some of the advantages that the opposition has deliberately gained in the House of Representatives.
Whether the carefully planned battle will cause heavy losses to the opposition and bring about a stable political situation for the People's Party to control the National Assembly and parliaments at all levels remains to be seen.
What will happen tomorrow? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 820 The Juliu River suddenly changes
At 6:25, there was a loud bang next to the Juliuhe Railway Bridge, followed by explosions that resounded throughout the land. The nearby villagers were awakened by the loud noise, and they rushed to get up to see what was going on, but were later blocked by countless soldiers with live ammunition.
Lin Jiujiro did not see the flames soaring into the sky, but he learned from the subsequent report that the train Zhang Zuolin was riding had been blown up and the railway bridge had been broken into two parts. However, because a large number of soldiers poured into the scene, the area within ten meters of the Several miles of land were also tightly sealed, and no specific information about Zhang Zuolin was known!
Can’t know? Lin Jiujiro was in trouble. He picked up the phone and called the Shenyang Military Region Headquarters directly, asking for confirmation from Xiqia.
At this time, in the base camp, the staff officer on duty had already received the news. Unusually, Chief of Staff Xi Qia also arrived in a hurry, even earlier than the news on the staff officer on duty.
“It’s no wonder that the Marshal’s special train was bombed. It was such a big deal. If he, the Chief of Staff in charge of the garrison in the Northeast, had been a little slower, how could he explain it to the Central Committee of the People’s Party? Looking at the solemn expression on his face, the staff officer knew the gravity of the matter.
Xiqia asked nervously: "Is the news true? What's the news about the commander-in-chief?"
The staff officer said with certainty: "It was from the local police station that there were survivors on the train, and the police station was convinced."
When Xiqia heard that there were survivors, he immediately asked excitedly: "Who are they? Is the commander among them?"
Because the source of the news was extremely unreliable, Xiqia immediately ordered: "Order the Li Shouxin Cavalry Regiment stationed in Dahu Mountain to immediately go to Juliuhe for rescue. At the same time, all the troops of the Shenyang Military Region are ordered not to act rashly. All orders must be issued by me before they can be executed!" "
However, the staff still reminded him: "Chief of Staff, do you need to notify Director Liu of such a major action?"
Liu Ruming, director of the Political Department of the Shenyang Military Region, is now a cadre at the same level as him, but his military rank is a little lower than him: because he is a senior general of the Fengcheng clan, he became a general when he was awarded the title, while Liu was only a lieutenant general. He didn't take this political department seriously in the first place, let alone at this time?
He pretended to be very considerate and said: "The matter is urgent, and I will take care of Director Liu. Besides, the Political Department does not care about military dispatch, and now my orders are the main one."
However, his words were interrupted by a loud voice from outside: "Chief of Staff, this sentence goes against the political system! In a state of emergency, the director of the Political Department can stop all orders, including the commander's, and change them to The decision was made after discussion by the headquarters committee!”
Before he finished speaking, the usually elegant Liu Ruming strode in with no trace of tiredness on his face. Xiqia said with a smile: "I didn't want to trouble Director Liu just now, and the commander and deputy commander are not here, so the committee can't discuss it."
Liu Ruming said calmly: "Commander Zhang is at the Central Military Commission and can report directly. Besides, if such a big thing happened to the commander, why not inform the Central Military Commission first?"
Xiqia wiped his sweat and said, "I was so flustered that I didn't think about it. But the Marshal's matter must be confirmed as the most important thing first, and the rescue of the injured needs to be dealt with urgently! Besides, since someone is plotting to blow up the railway bridge, there is no guarantee that there will be no back-up plan. It is necessary to send some troops to the scene. I made some calculations and found that the closest army to there is the Li Shouxin Regiment from Dahu Mountain. They are cavalry and are suitable for traveling."
Liu Ruming did not comment, but asked about Li Shouxin: "Chief of Staff, Li Shouxin's regiment was originally supposed to be stationed in Duolun?"
Xiqia's eyelids flashed: "Really? The authority to dispatch a cavalry regiment lies at the military level. I have never heard of this. I thought he was already there. What, is there something wrong?"
Liu Ruming looked at him: "According to the information I learned, Li Shouxin privately transferred the guards to the Juliuhe Bridge and expelled the armed police officers and soldiers guarding the bridge. So I think that under this situation, he has serious suspicions. Not only can he no longer mobilize the troops The troops should control it to clarify the facts, what do you think?"
Xiqia hesitated for a moment and then said simply: "Since there is suspicion, just order the military police to arrest him. Now let's take care of the commander's business."
Liu Ruming then said quietly: "I have reported to the Central Military Commission and the General Political Department that the order from Vice Chairman Zhang Zuoxiang and Commander of the Base Camp is that the entire Shenyang Military Region enters a state of first-level alert. All orders must be issued by me, the Chief of Staff and Pei It is effective only if the deputy commander makes it jointly. This order has been conveyed to the entire army. In addition, a division of the 19th Army has been ordered to arrive at the scene and block all information. This is an order directly issued by the Central Military Commission."
Xiqia was still surprised to hear that the central government had taken action so quickly. I am so close, but it is not as good as the Central Committee knowing earlier, such efficiency and confidentiality! However, he still asked with great concern: "Have the Young Marshal, Marshal Wu and Marshal Sun been notified?"
The five marshals of the People’s Army serve as the five members of the Military Commission?Reaction. Mr. Zhang need not worry too much. When the situation stabilizes, it will naturally be necessary to withdraw them all. "
Zhang Guochen shook his head and refused: "I have the responsibility to defend the place, so I will naturally try my best to ensure the safety of Shenyang. You don't need to worry about it. The situation is so chaotic now, and your soldiers should not add fuel to the fire."
Hayashi Jiujiro shook his head, "I'm afraid I can't stop this personally." He showed a telegram from the Japanese Kwantung Army, which read: "The maintenance of public security in Manchuria and Mongolia is the most important thing of the empire. Disturbing the public order in the area, the imperial government had to take appropriate and effective measures to maintain public order in Manchuria."
Zhang Guochen was full of anger, but there was nothing he could do. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 821 Chaos
??
Unlike the anxiety of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee, huge differences have begun to arise within the Beijing People’s Party over how to break the situation. The old commander has passed away, the young commander cannot be contacted, and the country cannot be left without a master for a day. Who can take on the important task of helping the people in danger?
The agency system formulated within the People's Party began to take effect: Zhang Zuoxiang acted as agent for the Military Commission affairs, which was established by the old and young marshals when he was still there; Wang Yongjiang was responsible for government affairs. This tradition has been done, and he has done a very popular job; as for the party Zhang Hanqing was originally responsible for the internal affairs. Now that the situation is urgent, who can take over the matter?
Based on Sun Liechen’s loyalty to the old young marshal and his son and his prestige in the Feng clan, he is a very powerful candidate. But he really couldn't bear such a heavy workload. In the end, the Provisional Standing Committee discussed and decided that the five Politburo | Standing Committee members Zhang Zuoxiang, Wu Junsheng, Sun Liechen, Wang Yongjiang, and Pan Fu would jointly be responsible for the responsibilities of party chairman, and Sun Liechen would make the final decision. .
In the absence of the old and young marshals, the Political Bureau held an emergency meeting to discuss the current situation and unanimously decided that the country would immediately enter a state of emergency.
A group of people headed by Zhang Zuoxiang went to the Northeast to stabilize the turmoil caused by the Lao Shuai case; the other group, led by Wu Junsheng, made every effort to find the whereabouts of the Young Shuai - because Congress was adjourned due to a national emergency, he The Chairman of the National Assembly can now fully assume the duties of Vice Chairman of the Military Commission.
With regard to the People's Party's order to declare a state of emergency in the country, the senators and representatives of the House of Representatives, led by the Kuomintang, expressed their opposition. This is equivalent to having their results of several years of hard work being snatched away by the People's Party. All political and military orders were issued by the Political Bureau of the People's Party. They were immediately ignored, and all the previous wonderful ideas came to nothing!
But the interim constitution has stipulated that the People's Party has this power, and the explosion on the Juliu River Bridge has spread throughout the country. At this time, the declaration of a state of emergency is legally justified, and they have no choice but to do so.
According to legal procedures, the president of the country has abandoned his post and the second-ranked vice-chairman Zhang Hanqing has disappeared. Sun Liechen, who serves as vice-chairman, can act as his deputy. But Sun Liechen really had no intention of doing such a "foolish" thing, and his mind was entirely on the safety of the old and young marshals, and his body did not allow it.
The successor further down in the order is National Assembly Chairman Wu Junsheng. At this juncture, Lao Wu said that he was not willing to be poked in the back, so he used the ladder of the old commander's accident to climb up. Finally, it was agreed that Prime Minister Wang Yongjiang would take over the duties.
“If, in case, this situation continues, it will be decided by the new Central Committee elected at the third People’s Party Congress held early next year,” he said.
Lao Wu’s “high integrity” does not mean that his people have no ideas.
Seeing that the position of president of this country is easily available, a group of generals who have been with him for a long time can no longer sit still.
Chengdu Military Region Commander Wan Fulin and Lanzhou Military Region Commander Xing Shilian both called and inquired indirectly about the current decision of the Central Committee. They also stated that Wu Junsheng, as Zhang Zuolin's right-hand man who had been following Zhang Zuolin for a long time, had no one in his department except Sun Liechen, who was seriously ill. Whatever decision they make, they will support it.
And Yang Yuting, Zhang Zuolin’s former top think tank, commander-in-chief of the Air Force and minister of general equipment, who was second only to Wu Junsheng in terms of qualifications but actually higher than Zhang Zuoxiang, directly suggested that Wu should take charge.
To be honest, no one knows what Wu Junsheng is thinking, but his qualifications are there. Although Zhang Zuoxiang won the respect of the old and new Feng faction because he knew the overall situation and protected the overall situation, according to his qualifications, he was indeed not as good as Wu Junsheng.
When Zhang Zuolin was the commander of the 27th Division, Wu was promoted to the commander of the 29th Division just a little later than Zhang; when Zhang Zuolin was the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces and the military governor of Fengtian, Wu served as the military governor of Heilongjiang and stayed there for three years. When Lao Zhang was the chairman of the Autonomous Committee of the Three Eastern Provinces, Wu was the vice chairman; when Lao Zhang was also the commander-in-chief of the army, Wu was also the deputy commander-in-chief. At the same time, Zhang Zuoxiang was only the chief of general staff and had no position in the government.
Even now, the Vice-Chairman of the Military Commission is also appointed, and the First Vice-Chairman is Zhang Hanqing. The two of them are still ranked in the Military Commission with Wu in front and Zhang behind, although Wu is only in name and does not care about the actual situation. And because Wu Junsheng's ranking in the People's Party exceeds that of Zhang Zuoxiang, everyone implicitly believes that Wu Junsheng must be ranked above Zhang Zuoxiang in the Military Commission.
Chinese people attach great importance to ranking of seats. The political order when both old and young marshals are present is the consensus of many people in the party. Although Zhang Zuoxiang later presided over the daily work of the Military Commission, it could only be regarded as a "secondment" because Zhang Hanqing ranked higher than him —— -There can't be two vice-presidents presiding over the work, right?
In fact, this is what Zhang Hanqing secretly criticizes: because he has to take care of all aspects of influence, there are too many vice-chairmen of the Military Commission, and he even has 4!
But in an army that believes in strength in everything,It exploded, showing that it was quite powerful and numerous. It would be impossible to do this without a mole. Since both the military and armed police systems are involved, it is understandable that the Shenyang Military Region has borne the brunt of suspicion.
At this time, Yang Yuting used this as an excuse and believed that the Shenyang Military Region, which had been managed by Zhang Zuoxiang, had a great responsibility. Before the incident is investigated clearly, Zhang Zuoxiang at least has the leadership responsibility. It is really inappropriate for him to hold such an important position and be the person in charge of investigating the Juliuhe incident.
This struck a chord with Zhang Zuoxiang and caused some confusion among some members of the Politburo who had previously agreed with him. If even the Politburo cannot unify its opinions, hastily convening the Provisional Central Committee will be even more of a disaster.
At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang began to make concessions again for the sake of the overall situation. It was he who took the initiative to suggest that Marshal Wu was well-respected and a close assistant to Marshal Zhang. It was appropriate for him to serve as the leader of the party and the army.
Apart from Zhang Zuoxiang, only Wu Junsheng can hold up the main pillar. Although there are many young marshals in the army, they are all surrounding him, and no one can have his prestige to unite them all. Therefore, no one had any objection to Zhang Zuoxiang's humility and Wu Junsheng's coming to power.
Yu Xuezhong, Zhang Zizhong, and Ji Yiqiao, who have a large number of troops outside, as well as Yu Zhen, the neutralist who believes in "leading their own troops and not getting involved in politics" and the commander of the Jinan Military Region, only sent messages to express their "firm support for the Central Committee's decision and obey the Military Commission" Order!"

By this time, only Wang Ruixue, commander of the 19th Army, had actually seen Zhang Zuolin's body. Then Gao Jiyi, Minister of National Security, Wang Yizhe, Deputy Director of the General Political Department, and Liu Shangqing, Deputy Prime Minister in charge of industry, sent by the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the CPC accompanied the Zhang family's female family members. on site.
These three Politburo members followed the old and young marshals to conquer the world respectively, and their loyalty cannot be doubted. The National Security Commission authorized them to investigate the accident with full authority. During this period, they can deal with any relevant cadres of the party, government, and military systems on an ad hoc basis, and their conclusions only need to be reported to the National Security Council.
At this time, the Shenyang Military Region was facing a formidable enemy, and the legend of a mole made every cadre feel at risk. Why did the officers and soldiers of the stationed armed police squadron withdraw? Who made the decision? Why did Li Shouxin's cavalry regiment suddenly transfer posts a few days ago? Who gave the warrant?
In the Shenyang Military Region, Chief of Staff Xi Qia, who has primary leadership responsibilities, accepted the questioning with fear. Although he knew that this was an essential step, he had drafted countless times and imagined countless response plans, but he still broke out in a cold sweat when he was asked.
Because the very important Emperor Puyi failed to come to Japan to occupy Dalian as scheduled, and although there were differences within the People's Party, they did not split as the Japanese thought;
Under the state of emergency, China's National Security Commission still firmly controls the military and political power in various places. In particular, the Shenyang Military Region and the adjacent Beijing Garrison Military Region have entered a state of first-level combat readiness. Their plan to take advantage of the situation was shattered, which led to the Japanese A series of actions came to a standstill.
The case of Yoshiko Kawashima has caused a great disturbance in diplomacy. Chinese Foreign Minister Gu Weijun conclusively presented her testimony, indicating that it was a conspiracy by the Kwantung Army, which forced the Japanese government to refute rumors one after another.
Since Kawashima is of no use anyway, he could just turn his back on him and refuse to admit his guilt. Besides, espionage work is inherently difficult to leave evidence of crime. You can't prove whether it was an individual's behavior or the will of the country.
He also passively denied his intention to support Puyi to go to the Northeast to become emperor, and changed it to Emperor Xuantong's own intention.
After this turmoil, the desire to establish Manchukuo basically came to nothing. At this time, the Kwantung Army cannot move arbitrarily, otherwise it will be a slap in the face.
This made Xiqia, who had taken a lot of risks, very uneasy. Fortunately, when I made this plan, I basically did not intervene on the surface, and had reserved several escape routes. Basically, the people involved in the case had major accidents and died mysteriously on the same day. When it comes to leadership responsibility, Zhang Zuoxiang and Pei Qixun were even more responsible. big.
"However, I heard that Zhang Zuoxiang was implicated because of this and failed to gain the trust of the Politburo to take over Zhang Zuolin's class. This was unexpected. In any case, Zhang Zuoxiang's personality is still worthy of recognition.
Hu Xiaomi, the armed police squadron leader who accepted Shangfeng’s call to give up the task of guarding the Juliuhe Bridge, was found assassinated on the bed in the barracks in the early morning of the incident. The murder weapon was a triangular bayonet commonly used by the armed police. He was killed with one knife.
After the incident, officers and soldiers were checked and it was discovered that Wang Dehai, a recent recruit, was missing. The files recorded on his recruitment were all false, and the recruitment period was not long. How he was assigned here is a mystery for the time being, but it also exposed the shortcomings of the People's Army's conscription system and political review.
Since it was a verbal confirmation, it is still unclear who Hu Xiaomi’s “top” is. Anyway, the commander, deputy commander, chief of staff and director of the Political Department of the Liaoning Provincial Armed Police Corps are all subject to isolation and review. The Xinmin County Armed Police Brigade and Shenyang Detachment directly under the Officers at all levels are treated this way.
In order to prevent the recurrence of killings and silences, Gao Jiyi proposed and approved by the National Security Commission to adopt an off-site review method. This can not only stay away from the Northeast, where the forces of all parties are the most complicated, but also reduce the possibility of leaks and wars.
This is a method learned from later generations by Zhang Hanqing. It may be the last memorial he left to China. The final place of review was Qinhuangdao.
The transfer order to transfer Li Shouxin should be easy to obtain, which depends on the army exercise committee system created by Zhang Hanqing.
Although cadres of the Political Department at all levels cannot interfere with the military deployment of military chiefs, they have the power to supervise and review military orders, so that they can ensure private deployment of troops. Moreover, military transfer orders can be easily verified through the system of the Political Department, so as to eliminate as much as possible the occurrence of a small group of officers with evil intentions leading troops to cause chaos.
It can also be seen from the Juliuhe incident that with such a strict supervision system, the vast majority of officers and soldiers can be effectively restrained, and the Central Military Commission of the People's Army is still very controlling.
But the only fly in the ointment is that the investigation has made no progress. The biggest suspect, Li Shouxin, also died unexpectedly, almost in a similar manner and at a similar time to another party involved, Hu Xiaomi. Of course, that important transfer order also disappeared. Go up and trace the order-issuing organization, where the 59th Division of the 20th Army is located.??There is this command. The clue ends here again.
However, according to the regulations of the People's Army, unless authorized by the commander-in-chief or in a state of war, it is strictly prohibited to command beyond the level. Therefore, the chief officers of the 59th Division who were most suspected were isolated and examined.
Although Zhao Zhixiang, commander of the 20th Army, was very dissatisfied with this, he could not prove his innocence. When something happened to the commander, it was such a big thing, and he couldn't redress or even complain. But seeing the subordinates who were living and dying on the battlefield being taken away one after another, even though they knew it was only the review stage, they couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
He walked to Wang Yizhe’s temporary office and requested to review himself.
Wang Yizhe seems to be focusing not on investigating the case, but on the loopholes in the People's Party's military and political system. He comforted Zhao Zhixiang and said: "Commander Zhao, the review of commanders and fighters at all levels is actually a kind of protection. Now there are various opinions outside, which makes all the directly affiliated units involved feel panic. On the contrary, only after review can one be mentally stable, right? We review , not only to find the bad guys, but also to protect the good comrades. Isn’t it?”
After all, he is a political cadre, and what he says is to make people feel comfortable. Zhao Zhixiang was sincerely convinced and said to Wang Yizhe: "Director Wang, please examine me first so that I can give an explanation to the comrades of the 59th Division. If even I have been examined, they will have nothing to say."
Wang Yizhe smiled. These are good cadres who are responsible and capable. The young marshal had previously told him to look for the part-time chief political director who could replace him in the armed police force, and he finally found the right person.
As the deputy director of the General Political Department of the huge People's Army, which has the most power except command power, he not only assists director Jiang Dengxuan in the selection and political review of military cadres, but also serves as the secretary-general of the Central Military Commission. These are extremely important Important core positions, just to complete them requires a lot of energy, and there is no energy to do the part-time work of the director of the General Political Department of the Armed Police Force.
“If things continue like this, it will be a dereliction of duty to the armed police force and the country.
If we strictly count the dereliction of duty of the Juliuhe Bridge Guarding Squadron of the Armed Police this time, the lack of political work is an extremely important factor. As officers and soldiers of the Armed Police Force, we all know that the old commander may take this path, so why are we not sensitive enough to be wary of abnormal situations? ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 823 Give a heavy bomb|bomb
??
Wu Junsheng, who acted as the top leader of the party and the military, was also the interim chairman of the National Security Council. The first thing he did when he took office was to avenge his disgrace in Congress and challenge the opposition.
Regardless of his understanding of the parliamentary system, his opposition to the parliament in the previous stage has greatly damaged his prestige among the faction. In his previous decision to act as acting party chairman and chairman of the Military Commission, some Politburo members pointed out that he had poor performance in Congress and may not be the best person to lead the party and the country, which embarrassed him.
Now that he has power in his hands, Wu Junsheng will not be Wu Junsheng if he does not take the opportunity to retaliate. He needs to win a battle in Congress to achieve a great turnaround. Moreover, Zhang Hanqing gave the People's Party a great foreshadowing during his lifetime. With the "Emergency Law", he could freely exercise discretionary power without being constrained by Congress, because Congress had stopped working in accordance with the "law".
However, the state of emergency cannot last forever. Sooner or later, the People's Party will face a counterattack by the opposition. If we want to fight, we must completely defeat them politically and institutionally, and give the People's Party a clean and complete ruling environment. This is also the implementation of the People's Party's intention to lead the country.
It’s time to fundamentally end the chaos in Congress. Under the Emergency Law, the National Security Council was activated, while the functions of Congress were suspended indefinitely.
The United Front Work Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, which plays an important role within the Congress and embodies the intentions of the People's Party in Congress, has put forward a dizzying number of amendment bills. These bills were approved by Zhang Hanqing before, some were drafted by him personally, and were comprehensively reviewed by the then Politburo. accepted. Han Shuxiu, the only female member of the Political Bureau of the People's Party Central Committee, sounded the clarion call to march to Congress with a detailed plan.
Since the decrees issued during the state of emergency are also effective, the government without the constraints of the opposition has implemented many bills that have been brewing for a long time. The first is the modification of Article 1 of the "Constitutional Amendment", which defines the current direction of China's efforts and agrees on the state and political system.
"Three dishes to cook righteousness" has been established, and the "legislative system led by the People's Party |" has also been established. The conclusion that "the country's basic task at this stage is to focus on economic construction, restore and expand production under the leadership of the Chinese People's Party|, and unify national awareness and the leadership of the Chinese People's Party" was also written down in black and white.
This is false. Before Wang Jingwei and others could react, the People's Party passed another bill with lightning speed, namely the "Resolution on the Ruling Status of the Chinese People's Party."
This "Resolution" was actually tacitly approved by Sun Yat-sen in 1924, that is, in order to highlight the leadership of the People's Party and limit the growth of opposition forces from other factions, the People's Party's ruling status cannot be denied.
This was determined by the historical conditions and national conditions at the time. Mr. Sun Yat-sen, with his insight and broad mind, suppressed the tendency of the Kuomintang that he personally formed to seize power from the People's Party, thereby preventing the unified Republic of China from having any more political bloodshed. Based on this consideration, the People's Party once again proposed that Zhang Hanqing had done a lot of work behind the scenes.
This "Resolution" unambiguously states that all elected and candidates for Congress must bear in mind that "the Chinese People's Party is the leader of the revolution and construction in China, and she represents the current and future development direction of China." , represents the advanced system, represents the fundamental interests of the people of all walks of life in China, represents advanced productive forces, represents the development direction of advanced culture and advanced ideas." Political scientists have summarized it as "five representatives."
In the eyes of Chinese and foreign political observers, the People's Party of China already has an undisputed position in politics, military, economy, diplomacy and other fronts. Even the opposition cannot hope to completely pass its bills and exclude the People's Party from governing. The pursuit of status is just the hope of getting a larger piece of this big cake.
Therefore, everyone believes that its symbolic significance is far greater than its practical significance.
But it has different meanings to Zhang Hanqing. Because the passage of the "Five Represents" resolution has actually legally declared that the Republic of China is fully under the control of the People's Party.
Because of this resolution as an introduction, Wu Junsheng launched a backup plan, which was controversial in later generations but considered essential at the time. The constitutional amendment called the "Declaration of Centralization of Power" was called the "Election Law of the Republic of China". Amendment" and the "Congress Representative Qualifications Act."
The "Election Law" is actually a major revision in response to the fact that the majority of local, especially county-level assemblies are monopolized by old bureaucrats, landlords, and capitalists. Since the county level determines the affiliation of regional and provincial legislators, the prerequisite for completely cutting off the opposition from the grassroots level from entering the National Assembly is that the qualifications of county-level legislators on which its existence depends are in the hands of the People's Party.
The new election law will expand the current number of members of Congress to 966. The reason is: China has a large population.??The ruling status of the People's Party, of course, does not support the leadership of the Chinese People's Party | Parties and individuals must be abandoned as members of Congress. This is the main content of the "Congress Representative Qualification Recognition Act." To this end, the Senate and the House of Representatives have each established a "Congress Representative Qualifications Review Committee" to be responsible for the review and impeachment of representatives and members.
If this bill is passed, the qualifications of the congressional representative candidates currently proposed by various parties may be re-examined, which is nothing less than a major earthquake.
What’s even more frightening is that since each faction previously aimed at a few seats in Congress and pushed hard to promote their own candidates in each province, there was no plan to nominate congressional candidates for various counties on a large scale across the country.
More importantly, except for the Kuomintang, which has the ability to hold relatively large-scale elections in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, all other factions only exert influence in one place, which will greatly limit their right to speak in Congress. In other words, the bill that Zhang Hanqing had been brewing for a long time took away the soil on which they relied for survival and caught them off guard.
But how can anyone object to "returning political power to the people"? ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 825 Everything is under control
The abuses from politicians are not surprising, and their guarantees are worse than children's play house.
People were shocked by the content of the report and wrote letters to the newspaper asking for evidence. Both Congress and the government sent troops to ask "Modern Express" to confirm the report. If it is true, it will really cause a huge wave; if it is false, the good reputation that "Modern Express" has finally accumulated in the industry will be ruined: after all, news reporting cannot have a bottom line.
There is really evidence.
In fact, the night before the report, the Ministry of State Security had already taken control of Ma Tingxing, the governor of Ningxia Province, and Chahar's King De and King Yun. Due to their status as members of Congress, they could not be arrested for the time being, but the Ministry of National Security still detained them on suspicion of treason, and a large amount of information exchanged with the Japanese was collected from their residences.
Although it cannot be directly confirmed that they had any direct relationship with the empress's escape to Dalian, their collusion with the Japanese is certain.
In fact, the Ministry of National Security has already been targeting them, but it just hasn’t been closed yet.
In less than half a day, public opinion has overwhelmingly approved the report of "Modern Express". Although there is no relevant evidence of the Dalai Lama, the people understand the rhetoric of "Modern Express": Since Tibet is still under the actual control of the British, the government of the Republic of China, which has only gained nominal sovereignty, cannot directly go to Dalai. |Dig out the physical evidence from Lai's house.
??But considering that Darai had fled to India in the late Qing Dynasty and took the British with him to show his self-respect, his character can be seen as average, so naturally he would rather believe it.
It was Wang Jingwei who suffered the heavy blow. He also has no evidence to prove Tongri, but unfortunately Kawashima Yoshiko mentioned him by name in the list of several people in Liao Liao. The most terrifying thing is the other people in the list she gave. They are all proven bad guys.
People can’t help but ask: How reliable is he that he is a good person? Some even raised a question that made him tremble: "Do we agree to hand over the management of the Congress to such a person? Do we have to find new evidence to deprive him of his status as a member?"
So Wu Junsheng, who had a bad temper and spoke loudly, got angry in front of hundreds of congressmen and said: "What a fool, Marshal Zhang, Marshal Zhang and us have been dealing with the Japanese all our lives, but now they want me to sit together with traitors to discuss national affairs. I will never dare to see Dashuai Zhang again until I die!"
Wang Jingwei was speechless for a long time after holding back one sentence. He was not as thick as the thick black man he later cultivated in the official history. However, others saw that he did not say a word, which invisibly confirmed the speculation in the newspaper, and they also sensitively kept a distance from the secretary-general of the Kuomintang caucus in the National Assembly.
??It is good to fight for power, but to be known as a traitor is something that even the ancestors will be embarrassed about. For the sake of safety, brother, you are wronged!
Some other newspapers also began to speak out, some directly referring to the identity of members of Congress: "As we all know, in the process of establishing the New Republic of China, in order to maintain a peaceful situation as much as possible, the People's Party voluntarily gave up the opportunity to monopolize the power of Congress, thus Peace was achieved.
But in this process, it is inevitable that some people will seize this God-given opportunity and sneak into both houses of Congress, intending to use legal means to achieve their ulterior secrets. The identities of some members of the Congress that have been exposed now are clear evidence.
How many people are still doing traitorous activities under the guise of legality? How many more people will be bribed by enemy countries to do things that harm the country and the people? In this sense, implementing the "Members of Congress Qualification Review" is actually a good way to purify the team! Only with constant supervision can congressmen truly contribute to the country, stay away from the temptation of enemy countries, and benefit the Chinese people! "
Analysts believe that this is a typical Shaoshuai style of writing. But he has passed away, and it is a blessing to the country that the country can have these political commentators whose power can be seen through the back of the paper, and deserves praise.
Even the Anhui clique headed by Duan Qirui, the Shanxi clique headed by Yan Xishan, and the direct forces headed by Cao Kun all condemned these congressmen who showed their national interests and lost their national dignity, or expressed their attitude of breaking with them.
Under their influence, Congress, as expected, unanimously deprived King De, King Yun and Ma Tingxi of their qualifications as senators and members of the House of Representatives.
The Kuomintang people do not want to see such a situation. As the largest party in the opposition, if it cannot enlist the help of other forces, it will be crushed by the People's Party, the largest party, and gradually lose its right to speak. It is unwise to influence the overall situation because of one Wang Jingwei.
Therefore, at the regular meeting of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang that night, Hu Hanmin suggested that Wang Jingwei resign from his position in the Congress to eliminate the influence.
Wang Jingwei knows very well: This is not a so-called problem of eliminating influence, but a signal of seizing power within the party. If he really resigns from Congress, he will basically be acquiescing to the newspaper's accusations against him.??Add provisions for nomination of important positions in the Congress: "The Chairman of the Congress shall be elected by a member of the Standing Committee of the People's Party Politburo, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall be concurrently served by the Minister of United Front Work of the People's Party."
This is the first step for the BJP to lead the Congress.
Regarding the tone of the parliaments in each province, the tradition of selecting a person to serve as the speaker of the standing committee at each level is retained, and the minister of the United Front also serves as the first deputy speaker of the parliament at each level, laying a solid foundation for the People's Party to control the parliament and public opinion.
In addition, the nomination system for directly-governed provincial senators has been modified, from direct nomination within the parliament of each directly-governed province to the principle of nomination by the provincial standing committee, in order to highlight the state's control over "directly-governed" provinces.
Various congressional regulations that make the opposition "never able to stand up" make the opposition who are gradually losing power regret it. They even miss the days when Zhang Hanqing was around.
"Compared with the current suppression, this young marshal is still very open-minded - at least he is not as authoritarian as he is now, and he has fully guaranteed the development of various parties. According to the newly enacted system, in the next election, they will be able to retain one of the current number of MPs. Thank God.
Seemingly to gain legal control of Congress, on October 1, Prime Minister Wang Yongjiang issued an order to implement martial law in Beijing. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 826 The truth begins to emerge
It has been five days since the Lao Shuai was bombed, and the country has undergone tremendous changes.
Some are happy and some are sad. As Wu Junsheng wins successive victories in Congress, it is understandable that some people are disappointed. The investigation of the Ministry of National Security has made progress. King Yun and King De admitted that they were so passionate with the Japanese because of the attraction of establishing a "Manchu-Mongolia Republic".
This reasonably explains Puyi’s purpose of going to Tianjin: to go to Dalian by water, and then wait for an opportunity to ascend the throne. When we think of the old commander being bombed, a clue clearly appears in front of people.
Both the army and the armed police have insiders involved, otherwise the "handover" between the two parties from different systems would not have been so smooth; and the dignified Secretary of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee would not have been unable to temporarily mobilize a usable armed force. In the first two hours after Shuai was bombed, he had no choice but to sit in the provincial party committee and wait for a call.
“At that time, so many phone calls were blocked and later it was found that they were artificially cut off. Without a large number of manpower and premeditation, such quick action would not have been possible in a short period of time.
Moreover, the "timely" large-scale exercise conducted by the Japanese soldiers was neither early nor late, and the simultaneous unrest in Shenyang City on the same day was not such a coincidence. All of this deeply shows that the Japanese presided over, or at least were the focus. participated in this incident. If the 29th Army in Yingkou had not rushed towards Guandong Prefecture, the situation in Shenyang would have been in chaos.
It was also seen at this time how useful the heavy troops stationed by the People's Army in Shenyang were. At least at critical moments, the Japanese were still afraid of them.
Although the investigation on the Juliu River side continues, and the 19th Army continues to surround it with a ten-mile radius, the proficient response of the People's Party and the People's Army still makes the Japanese Kwantung Army intelligence personnel suspicious: Up to now, all the reports about The news that Zhang Zuolin was killed was reported by Wang Ruixue, commander of the 19th Army who first entered the scene.
He was able to enter the scene before Xi Qia, the chief of staff of the Shenyang Military Region who had already planned it, is surprising in itself.
And there is a strange phenomenon, that is, all Chinese military and political officials who enter the cordon of the Juliuhe Bridge can only enter but cannot exit.
At first, it was easy to understand that it was on-site rescue, on-site exploration, analysis and understanding of the situation. However, after the investigation team represented by Politburo members Gao Jiyi, Liu Shangqing and Wang Yizhe entered the scene, none of their entourage came out again and entered the Shenyang Military Region for investigation. Only Wang Yizhe was involved in the incident, which is a bit abnormal.
“ Only entering but not exiting is a way to keep it secret. However, since Zhang Zuolin is dead, why is there any need to keep it secret?
“And in Beijing, the series of evidence thrown out by the People’s Party against the opposition forces is not like an on-site excavation, but premeditated, otherwise it would not be so fast, accurate and ruthless. Zhang Zuolin's death had been reported a week ago through Commander Wang Ruixue, but there was no clear statement confirming his death either in the People's Party, the government or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Logically speaking, the sudden death of a head of state, whether it is done superficially or to comfort the people, is grand and solemn, especially in China where people rule, and Zhang Zuolin is one of the founders of the New Republic of China.
In addition to Zhang Hanqing’s mysterious disappearance, Yoshiko Kawashima, the only insider who may have interacted with him, has been arrested—several confessions have been published, and the People’s Party still has no certainty about his case. It can be seen from this that Zhang Hanqing should not have fallen into her hands.
??According to the Kwantung Army’s understanding of this strange father and son, if they die, the Japanese will not live in peace; if they live, they must be carrying out a big conspiracy.
It’s unknown, so I’m worried.
In Beijing, Zhang Xuecheng, deputy director of the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and deputy director of the Security Bureau, who had to return to Beijing early to arrange security work, did not feel lucky to have survived the explosion. He looked back in shock at the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. secret meeting held.
"Excellent" providing Zhang Zuolin's travel route to the gang was his masterpiece. Unfortunately, the situation later did not develop as he imagined:
Without the old and young marshals, the People's Party quickly stabilized the situation with the power of the Politburo. In addition, the armies in various places strictly obeyed the leadership of the Military Commission. There was no chaos in Northeast China and Beijing, so that the Japanese who wanted to take advantage of the situation had no chance. Fa Dong——In the plan, he will also be the cabinet minister of Manchukuo!
And his own idea that once the old young marshal died, as long as someone mentioned his identity, he would have a chance to be elected as the leader of the People's Party, it was also shattered.
It is the Central Committee of the People's Party and its permanent body, the Politburo, that decide the national leader. He has no room to say here. In other words, given his qualifications, no one thought of using him to calm the situation.
This made him feel that he had done a stupid thing both in public and in private: with his uncle Zhang Zuolin here, he could buy him a little face from top to bottom;After his influence disappears and he has no foundation at the top, who will remember him?
What’s even scarier is what happened just now. The secret meeting informed everyone and gave him a piece of news that was a bolt from the blue: Marshal Zhang's special train was not blown up, and even the railway bridge was not damaged. It was just that the explosives were moved a little, causing a loud noise. That’s all!
Because all the rebel soldiers present before the incident had been put under control, and martial law was also imposed in a large area after the incident, the outside listeners and spectators could not tell what happened at all. They only heard the explosion and saw The fire was bright and I heard that the commander was dead.
Wang Ruixue, commander of the 19th Army, directly and secretly rushed to the Juliuhe Railway Bridge in the early morning of the 22nd under dual orders from Chief of General Staff Han Linchun and Director of the General Political Department Jiang Dengxuan. The order he received was only to carry out peripheral security at the incident site and Expand the warning circle to more than 20 miles. But within the core circle, there was already another elite-looking force that was already clearing the scene in an orderly manner.
This unit does not have a designation or a military flag, but its excellent equipment and the morale of its officers and soldiers are extraordinary at a glance. He galloped all the way without knowing what was happening. After the task was arranged, he naturally thought of reporting. Just when I didn't know how to speak, a familiar voice sounded: "Is it Wang Ruixue? Come and talk."
It’s the handsome voice! Have you seen the commander-in-chief at the Shenyang Military Region Headquarters not long ago? Wang Ruixue didn't hesitate and immediately squeezed into the crowd.
Zhang Zuolin had already changed out of his dazzling marshal uniform. He was wearing the unlined clothes of an ordinary soldier, with a steel helmet popular in the military covering his head. He was so invisible to everyone that they could not recognize him as the Commander-in-Chief of the People's Army and a member of the People's Party. Military Commission|Chairman.
He hesitated and couldn’t believe it, but the strange time on this occasion did not allow him to ask any more questions. Zhang Zuolin only said one sentence: "Ruixue, you came just in time, someone wants to harm me."
This surprise is no small matter! Wang Ruixue is a veteran of the Feng Clan who followed Zhang Zuolin - considering that the Feng Clan was established not too long ago, "old" here can only be used in a relative sense. His loyalty to Zhang is unquestionable, otherwise he would not have been the first person in the plan for such an important situation.
Wang Ruixue was angry and excited. He said firmly: "If you want to touch the commander-in-chief, you have to step over my body!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 827 Committing a crime and committing a crime
Zhang Zuolin nodded. The show of loyalty at this time obviously pleased him, even though it was his first suggestion to appoint him: "I need you to help me create the illusion of being bombed to death during this period." He said with a smile: "In the meantime, my safety is in your hands!"
In fact, Zhang Zuolin still had to guard against him, otherwise he would not have used another army. Having experienced many assassinations, he has enough experience to face it calmly, not to mention that this time he took the initiative to take advantage of the plot.
Two years ago, the Ministry of National Security gathered a lot of evidence to show that some generals in the People's Army had special ideas under the instigation of the Japanese. For example, Zhang Jinghui attracted the surrendered leaders of the Manchu, Mongolian, and Hui areas and Malongtan, The small actions of Wan Fulin and others were all recorded.
To be honest, Zhang Hanqing and Zhang Zuolin are very concerned about the supervision of important national officials. After the original "Fengqi Bureau" was upgraded to the "Ministry of National Security", part of its important functions was to investigate and obtain evidence about the loyalty of military and political officials from various parties to the Zhang family, even if it was Wu Junsheng, a long-term close assistant. Supervision is no exception.
In this function, the function of the "Ministry of National Security" is similar to that of the "Military Command", "Central Command", CIA and KGB in later generations. Zhang Zuolin made no secret of his love and importance for this intelligence collection unit. Even as enlightened as Zhang Hanqing, he was very concerned about the important role of this unit in strengthening his control over the People's Party and the army.
Information related to the frequent admission of Wu Junsheng by the Japanese was analyzed and compiled by the Political Investigation Department in charge of important officials of the People's Party, and was continuously submitted by Minister Gao Jiyi personally to the desk of Zhang Hanqing, his direct boss of the "Ministry of National Security"—— This is a convention formed in history and confirmed by Zhang Zuolin.
It is natural for the Japanese to come into contact with Wu Junsheng - this is often the case in the Northeast, and the contacts became more frequent after Wu became the chairman of the National Assembly - in any case, dirty political exchanges are often above board ongoing.
However, Tu Fei's secret meeting made Zhang Hanqing wary, and he reported the matter to Zhang Zuolin privately. As a seasoned politician, Zhang Zuolin had great trust in this old partner who started his career together. He did not directly ask Wu Junsheng about the situation, and said that "Wu's loyalty cannot be doubted."
But trusting Wu Junsheng does not mean that you can accept him or others doing small things behind your back. Especially Zhang Jinghui's connection made Zhang Zuolin wary.
Zhang Jinghui's status in the old Fengcheng Clan is on par with Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen, and he was once the commander of the original 16th Division. He can be regarded as one of the few remaining veterans of the Fengcheng Clan, so his energy far exceeds that of Tang Yulin. .
However, after losing power to Zhang Hanqing, Zhang Zuolin decisively abandoned him.
Compared with his successor, Zhang Jinghui is nothing. You must know that the People's Army is now full of talents, and his methods of leading troops, whether it is tactical training or training of new-style troops, have been far behind those of the young marshals. All they have is nothing more than a qualification.
If Zhang Hanqing wants his own man to be in power, shouldn't he, as a father, be inferior to his other brother, Zhang Zuoxiang?
Originally, given Lao Zhang’s character, he advocated drinking to release military power like Song Taizu. They are all old brothers who conquered the world together. Wouldn't it be nice to quit the leadership and enjoy the fruits of the world? But faced with Zhang Jinghui's restlessness, he had to make a decision. So the personnel of the Ministry of National Security used him as an important surveillance target to spread the net, and later detected "574".
This result undoubtedly made Zhang Zuolin extremely angry. Zhang Jinghui's actions had already crossed his bottom line - no matter how much he believed in "righteousness" towards his friends, he would not tolerate him enough to harm him. If it weren't for Zhang Hanqing's obstruction, Zhang Jinghui might not even have the chance to be awarded the title of lieutenant general!
Zhang Hanqing’s reason for allowing them to continue to exist is simple: the Ministry of National Security has not found out how big the appetite of this group is and what their trump card is. Since it is a homophony of “armed uprising,” naturally it is impossible without a certain amount of people participating. It is wishful thinking for people like them who are on the fringes of the power game to fight against the navy, army and air force, which has more than 1.5 million people.
At that time, Xi Qia had not yet emerged because he only had contact with the Japanese, and the commander of the Shenyang Military Region at that time was Zhang Zuoxiang and the deputy commander was Pei Qixun, both of whom were trusted by the Zhang family and his son. He, the chief of staff, has not yet come to the fore.
In fact, the Kwantung Army also used Xiqia as a trump card, so they tried their best to protect him, but even the highly capable Ministry of National Security failed to detect any abnormalities. Zhang Hanqing, on the other hand, found some clues.
“The Kwantung Army probably never dreamed that the person who destroyed them was the woman they thought was very powerful, Yoshiko Kawashima! In addition, the young marshal's sexual fortune also allowed him to confirm the occurrence of this incident.
No one?Zhang Hanqing knows Kawashima Fangzi better. First of all, she is a spy. She has her shadow in Huanggutun and 918. So when she came to him, Zhang Hanqing was happy to accept it, it was just for fun anyway. Of course, out of his instinctive vigilance against her, Zhang Hanqing had to think more: What is she here for?
Prompting Emperor Puyi Wanrong to go to Japan to occupy Dalian is Kawashima's famous work, but that dates back to five years later. Since Chinese history has changed a lot because of her own existence, Zhang Hanqing really can't figure out what she wants to do. However, Empress Wanrong, whom he had forced into his hands, reported two things to him one after another, which opened up some of his doubts.
The first is the information that the Japanese are going to attack him. "The Japanese Kwantung Army is going to deal with him, and his life will not last long!" This is what Puyi, the husband who dealt with the Japanese, accidentally disclosed in anger; the second is to give him all the information. Yoshiko Dekawashima asked Puyi to go to the Northeast.
There is only one reason: she is pregnant with Zhang Hanqing’s child! The moment she knew it, the balance in her heart turned to Zhang Hanqing without hesitation.
Although it was forced at first, as the relationship between the two increased, her psychology has changed. Being with Zhang Hanqing allowed her to see the vast world outside, and her eyes were no longer limited to the dark and decadent palace; Zhang Hanqing's passion and skill had conquered her heart, making her passive in the future only due to the constraints of ethics. Enjoy his rain and dew, but the physical feeling is unprecedented.
A few months of dating was more time than she spent with Puyi, her nominal husband. Whether it was love for a long time or something else, the fetus in her belly completely changed her attitude. The idea of ??leaving Puyi and seeking a new life became stronger and stronger. Moreover, Zhang Hanqing also promised to help her complete the divorce process.
She was like a little girl in love, completely integrated into Zhang Hanqing's sweet words.
That’s why Zhang Hanqing can know himself and the enemy. He was sensitive to the important explosion in history that changed the history of the Republic of China: Huanggutun, which was also completed before Puyi went to Dalian.
He was also intimidated by his own thoughts. After following this line of thinking, he really found the problem. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 828 Surveillance
Zhang Xuecheng, the main member of Zhang Zuolin's security circle who went to the customs outside the customs, has been reported to have a fierce fight with the Japanese; the actual highest officer in charge of the Northeast Military Region, Chief of Staff Xi Qia, was historically the chief culprit of the September 18th Incident, causing Zhang Xueliang in history Use the "non-resistance policy" to take the blame for life.
In fact, Zhang Hanqing has been wary of Xiqia for a long time, and has been suppressing his development. From the initial governor of Hung Yen Province to the deputy chief of the Fengcheng Department, he has never been allowed to have access to core military affairs.
But as he took the initiative to "start a business", his influence on the personnel arrangements of the Fengtian department became somewhat weaker. Because Xiqia is actually very capable, otherwise Zhang Zuolin would not have promoted him to such a high position. He is also the only one among the eight military regions of the People's Army who has been promoted to general as chief of staff of the military region.
Although Lao Zhang believed Zhang Hanqing's words and thought he was "rebellious", as time went by, Xiqia always behaved very loyally, causing him to make a mistake that all Chinese people may make: he thought that although Xiqia was full of People, since the Manchus have their entire foundation in the Northeast, they should be more unlikely than anyone else to give up on the Northeast.
But he didn’t realize that as a survivor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Xiqia did not regard himself as Chinese. He just kept the idea of ??restoring the Qing ancestral heritage in his stomach, but in fact he never forgot it.
Because there is a relatively good political system, even the commander cannot cover the sky with just one hand, not to mention he is only a chief of staff. Therefore, when Zhang Zuolin went to the Northeast, Zhang Hanqing was not worried that Xiqia would cause trouble. In that case, the six armies he arranged in the Shenyang Military Region could destroy him in minutes!
Dong Yingbin, Wang Ruixue, Zhao Zhixiang, Ma Longxiang, and Ding Chao are all old followers of Zhang Zuolin. Ma Longxiang is also the younger brother of Ma Longtan, the Speaker of the Senate; Liang Zhongjia, commander of the 29th Army, one of the five main forces, is Wu Junsheng's Human beings, but absolutely trustworthy in matters of great right and wrong.
Of course, for safety reasons, he also advised Zhang Zuolin not to take risks easily. But Zhang Zuolin didn't want to wait any longer. He decided to take advantage of the opportunity to attend Feng Delin's funeral. This not only showed his feelings of friendship, but also allowed Zhang Hanqing to obtain Feng Yong's support. It also allowed some hidden ghosts and monsters to show up as soon as possible and catch them all.
He was not asking for help. In addition to the elite Central Guard Corps taking away two brigades (battalions), Zhang Hanqing also secretly dispatched special operations troops directly under his own control.
??——This is the legacy of the old brand. Despite going through splits, mergers and reorganizations, this unit is still kept secret. After several years of development, it has successively transferred many officers who are good at fighting and equipped it with the best weapons in the People's Army sequence. Its strength is fully capable of launching a frontal charge against any division of the People's Army, and it can withstand the continuous attack of an army.
With this kind of hard power, it is almost impossible to assassinate Zhang Zuolin from the front. The only feasible way is to blow up a train. Moreover, this is what the Japanese did in history, and it is also in line with the current traffic situation in Northeast China.
So the Ministry of National Security sent many personnel, together with officers and soldiers from the 8th Bureau of the Armed Police Force, to conduct intensive investigations on the Beijing-Shenyang Railway from Shenyang to Qinhuangdao. The 8th Bureau of the Armed Police is the Border Defense Bureau, which currently governs Jilin, Liaoning, and Heilongjiang, the three northeastern provinces that have contact with the Japanese.
The reason why there is no need to change the name of the Northeast Bureau of the 1st Bureau is because there is a big problem with this bureau.
The director of Bureau 1 is Wu Tailai, and his background is also very strong - he is Wu Junsheng's nephew and was also Wu's adopted son.
It turns out that although Wu Junsheng had many wives and concubines, he never had any children. Seeing that he was old enough to know his destiny, he adopted his brother's son Wu Tailai. At first, he loved him in every possible way, but Lao Wu still wanted a son of his own. Fortunately, in the first year of the Republic of China, when he was 49 years old, Wu Junsheng finally got his only son, Wu Taixun (this son did not do well in history, and ended up being a traitor, and he was also very short-lived).
Despite this, Wu Junsheng still found good jobs for Wu Tailai as his status in the Fengtian Army increased: first, he became the colonel commander of the Fengjun Army at a young age, starting earlier and at a higher level than Zhang Hanqing;
Then, based on the factor of promotion curve, we followed Zhang Zuoxiang's son Zhang Tingshu's promotion path of division commander of the People's Army - director of the East China Bureau of the Armed Police - commander of the 27th Army, allowing him to transfer from the army to the armed police sequence and serve as the armed police force. The chief general of one of the 9 Bureaus has also been promoted to lieutenant general.
However, Wu Tailai was not satisfied. He thought that Zhang Tingshu's qualifications were far inferior to his, but he climbed onto his head. He always believed that his status as Lieutenant General of the Armed Police was not comparable to the rank of Lieutenant General of the main army, but he secretly He thought it was because his uncle Wu Junsheng didn't do his best to take care of him when he had a son.
He was even more dissatisfied with Zhang Hanqing: He was also a descendant of a big boss in the Feng dynasty, so how could Zhang Hanqing rise to the top and eventually be superior to his uncle (Zhang Hanqing was ranked far higher than Wu Junsheng in the party: Wu was ranked among Zhang Hanqing, Zhang Zuolin, Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang).The role played by ??. He was just very sad that his own nephew would collude with outsiders to deal with him!
Zhang Xuecheng leaked the secret, and his words were written down on the paper and handed to Zhang Zuolin. Later, Zhang Zuolin happily asked him to take the front position, also because he wanted to find out who was the real big fish. As soon as Zhang Xuecheng left, his adjutant was taken away by national security personnel.
According to Zhang Hanqing’s previous discussion with him, this explosion must go off so that the People’s Party will have enough reason to “legally” attack the opposition in Congress by declaring a state of emergency and change the People’s Party’s long-term peace and stability. His approach is in the same vein as the Nazi "Reichstag Fire Case" in history, but it is much gentler - it is a reasonable use of the rights granted by the Constitution.
Therefore, Li Shouxin never dreamed that his troops would be supervised all the time when they left Duolun, entered Dahu Mountain, and deceived the armed police guarding Juliuhe. That night when he was waiting, countless national security personnel, guards, garrison troops and armed police were busy. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 829 Lure the snake out of its hole
Being able to be used as a pillar of support in times of crisis, Wang Ruixueton had the pride of dying for his confidant. Although he didn’t know why, he just followed Zhang Zuolin’s idea. For several days, he stayed at the scene and did not allow any other units, including the investigators sent by his immediate superior, the Shenyang Military Region, to leave.
Yes, leave. On the grounds of accepting orders from the Central Military Commission, no one was allowed in or out, so that the official version of the incident would come from his own mouth until someone from the Central Committee took over.
Therefore, Liu Shangqing, who was in a sad mood, did not know that the commander was still there until he was in the security circle of Julanghe. Seeing Zhang Zuolin intact and happily greeting him at a nearby villager's house, he couldn't help but be stunned: "What is this for?"
In order not to irritate him and prevent him from being paranoid, Wang Yizhe and Gao Jiyi also pretended to be surprised. In fact, from beginning to end, they, Jiang Baili, Han Lunchun, and Jiang Dengxuan were involved in Zhang Hanqing's plan. Otherwise, if a mistake is made and the fake becomes real, it will be really doomed.
There are many reasons why I informed them but hid the information from other members of the Politburo and the Military Commission, such as fear that many people would leak the information, fear that they were not sad enough and would be seen by others, but the most important reason was that they had been with the Marshal for a long time. , the most trustworthy.
The main purpose of this trick-or-treating operation was to test the loyalty of the old Feng clan personnel. This plan was not even notified to Guo Songling - Zhang Hanqing was also investigating him.
Although Zhang Zuolin acted according to the plan, he had to stay here all the time because he wanted to keep it secret, and he was bored and panicked for a long time. Although they know the general situation outside through various channels, they don't know as much as they do as members of the Politburo, and they see the problem from a different perspective. Besides, they are old friends with Liu Shangqing, and they can still talk to each other.
He was also very satisfied with the performance of Liu Shangqing and the others, and of course he was very proud of his surprise. Always acting unexpectedly, this is the source of awe for his subordinates, which is better than seeing through it at a glance. He briefly told Liu Shangqing some of the inside story, and said in an explanation: "These are all Xiao Liuzi's ideas and have nothing to do with me."
Liu Shangqing finally understood that it seemed that the young marshal's "disappearance" was also part of the plan. He smiled angrily and said, "The Marshal and his son are having a great time, but we are all anxious to death. When will the Marshal show up?"
Zhang Zuolin figured it out: "It's time to come out."
Yes, it’s time to come out. He successfully dug out a group of people within the military, basically defeated the opposition faction in Congress, and found a sufficient excuse for the next plan to reorganize the military. The mission is basically completed. If we don't come out again, the country will really be in turmoil.
But before he comes out, he still has to deal with one person: Zhang Xuecheng.
Others can understand, but cannot forgive; for him, it is difficult to even understand: What are you trying to do? Others do these things because they want to gain benefits for themselves, to seek power and usurp the throne, to earn benefits, or simply to vent their hatred. He, Zhang Xuecheng, made his fortune through Zhang Zuolin. He rose to the rank of lieutenant general and deputy director. He was always looked up to, but he decided to join forces with others to murder his uncle!
Without Zhang Zuolin, would his life be better?
The most detestable thing is that he colluded with the Japanese. In response, he decided to impose the death penalty no matter who was involved. It was signed that Zhang Zuolin missed his family ties very much. Although Zhang Xuecheng's guilt was great, he might not be able to die. In this incident, he only served as a facilitator to reveal Zhang Zuolin's whereabouts. If he insisted that the leak was unintentional, given Zhang Zuolin's character, he would only make a mistake and never use it again.
what to do? Only by grasping the current situation, there is an emergency notice from the General Office of the Central Committee. Everyone in the know wants to see what else Zhang Xuecheng will do? Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuecheng, who was so stunned by the power, still refused to give up. He told Shi Yousan, who was stationed at Shanhaiguan, this important news over the phone.
Shi Yousan is also one of the generals who is dissatisfied with the People's Party. Tong Linge and Zhang Weixi who were at the same time as him were already lieutenant generals. Zhang Zizhong also acted as deputy commander of lieutenant general and acting commander of the Nanjing Military Region. He was more than a few ranks older than him, a colonel and deputy division commander. How could he feel at ease? He has long been an important backbone of the "574" gang and has been stationed in Shanhaiguan for more than half a year.
Shanhaiguan is known as "the unparalleled key to the two capitals and the first pass of the Great Wall". There is a saying that illustrates its importance: "Once this barrier is broken, Beijing and Tianjin will be like birds and beasts." It is an important shortcut from the Western Liaoning Corridor into North China and is the beginning of the Great Wall. In the Zhi-Feng and Zhi-Wan wars, the Feng army entered the pass from here and began its magnificent road to seize national power.
For Beijing, it is the first barrier from outside the customs to inside the customs. There is a division permanently stationed here, the 45th Division of the 15th Army of the Weisu Military Region, and a military headquarters has been set up in nearby Qinhuangdao.
Shi Yousan serves as the deputy commander of the 45th Division here. Among the many people who participated in the "574 Friends Circle", he is the only one who is determined to deal with Zhang Zuo regardless of conditions.Just to fight for a breath. After the "Juliu River Bridge Incident" happened to Zhang Zuolin, he was ecstatic. But suddenly one day after receiving a call from Zhang Xuecheng, his heart sank to the bottom.
how could this be? His intuition told him that there must be a big story behind the sudden death of the wily Zhang Zuolin. It was not uncommon for people who failed to defeat tigers to become addicted to tigers. He decided that as long as Zhang Zuolin stopped at Shanhaiguan, he would take the risk of getting rid of him, and then he would escape to Dalian incognito.
“It’s true that if you don’t seek death, you won’t die. At this time, he is still thinking about getting rid of Zhang Zuolin, but he doesn’t know that the danger is approaching! When he walked out of the communications company of the division headquarters, he accidentally met Hu Piying, director of the division's political department.
This good old man who was always kind and harmless in military meetings greeted him with a smile as usual: "Deputy Commander Shi, are you answering the phone?"
My friend snorted twice: "Ah, yes, a friend called me from Tangshan." He had something in his heart, so he could only lie.
Hu Piying still smiled and said: "It is not ordinary to be able to call the division headquarters directly. It seems that the Tangshan garrison only has the 209th Regiment of the 70th Division. Are Deputy Division Commander Shi and Commander Wang familiar with each other?"
Shi Yousan nodded along with the words: "We have been friends for a long time, just casually chatting and reminiscing about old times." The incident happened suddenly and needed careful planning. I really didn't have the mood to chat with him too much, and I have always thought too highly of him. A soldier's bounden duty is to fight, so what does the director of the political department mean to him!
Hu Piying nodded, and then two junior officers came over and shouted to Hu Piying from a distance: "Director Hu, here are your documents."
Shi Yousan was chuckling in joy as he automatically got rid of the annoying questioning. Suddenly, the two men suddenly exerted force when they approached him. One of them took his arm, and the other took out the gun from his armed belt. The incident happened suddenly. He was not prepared at all and was almost confused.
He shouted: "What are you going to do? I am the deputy division commander, who dares to arrest me?!"
Hu Piying's originally smiling face became very serious: "I am now executing the power given to me by the Political Department and officially announce to you: You have been arrested! During this period, you will lose all rights. If you have any ideas, the military court will accept you. Complaint!" He then said with a smile: "The Tangshan garrison has been replaced by the 140th Regiment of the 47th Division. Are you talking on the phone to a ghost?"
Shi Yousan knew his true identity, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Where are my guards?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 830 Good people let you do it
Where? One of his security squads had obediently handed over their guns under the custody of the military police and awaited review, and now they were standing still outside the barracks. In theory, the gendarmerie has considerable privileges, but for the first time in its several years of existence, it has performed its highest function: arresting military chiefs.
The teacher was watching not far away.
Just now, when Hu Piying told him that he was going to arrest deputy division commander Shi Yousan, he thought it was a big joke.
The director of the division's political department arrested the deputy division commander at the same level, without his prior consent or even a little notice. However, Hu Piying rarely but clearly told him: According to the regulations of the General Political Department of the People's Army, the director of the political department has The authority has the power to arrest officers of the same level and below in a state of emergency (of course it does not say that it can even deprive the chief officer of his command authority after convening a party committee meeting, in case he loses face). Of course, he only has the authority to arrest, and the specific punishment must be left to the The Military Justice Department will evaluate.
Of course, the consequences of this decision are: if there is no specific reason, he, the director of the political department, will also be dismissed afterwards; and once the person is proven innocent, he, the director of the political department, will basically be transferred - affecting unity. Well.
At this price, the Political Department does not dare to use its power easily, but its binding force on officers at all levels is also equivalent: it is similar to the Public Security Bureau in the eyes of ordinary people, and naturally, the Military Justice Department is a court.
The state of emergency is now —— Prime Minister Wang Yongjiang has just promulgated it.
After Shi Yousan and his guards were surrendered, the Political Department's prestige began to be established, but in Zhang Hanqing's plan, this was just the beginning.
Based on Shi Yousan’s confession, Zhang Xuecheng, who had a single line of contact with him, was arrested.
It’s just that in this incident, only a few small shrimps were caught internally, which is inevitably a fly in the ointment. Based on the Emergency Law, Zhang Zuolin ordered the Ministry of National Security, the Ministry of Propaganda, and the Ministry of Public Security to launch a purge within the party, and used the United Front Department as a bridle to conduct a nationwide combing.
Despite the lack of complete evidence, the arrest of Xi Qia and Wu Tailai was still approved.
"How long will it take if we don't take this opportunity to purge these unstable elements who have huge influence in the army and armed police force!" Talk about evidence? Lao Zhang Cai is not as shameless as Zhang Hanqing. In history, wasn’t Li Dazhao, one of the famous founders of the Communist Party of China, hanged? Just putting them in Qincheng Prison to continue the trial is an advantage for them!
Zhang Zuolin also dealt a ruthless blow to the "Jiang-Zhejiang Consortium", the financial backbone of the Kuomintang. Based on the results of the previous secret discussions between the father and son, the Ministry of Finance sent a large number of capable business personnel to the "Southern Bank" in Shanghai, and also controlled the Ningbo-based Siming, China Communications, China Reclamation and other banks to start business " supervision”.
“ In addition, the various industrial and commercial enterprises on which they relied have also begun to be controlled by the twelve Traz Groups under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, which can be regarded as draining their foundation from the root. Even after recovery, the country can kill them just in terms of business, not to mention that there is a sharp sword like the Ministry of Finance hanging over their heads?
And it is difficult for the Kuomintang, which has no financial support and only relies on the "relief" of some private individuals, to become a major party with a decisive influence in China!
After laying a solid foundation, National Chairman Zhang Zuolin miraculously "survived", causing the KMT Central Committee to explode. Before the celebration party could begin, the young commander also appeared.
An old man and a young man appeared one after another, which made Sun Liechen relieved. He held Zhang Zuolin's hand with his skinny fingers, smiled bitterly and said, "Commander, I don't want to play like this!"
Zhang Zuolin looked at his face that was sickly and withered due to acute pain, with mixed emotions.
This incident could have been eliminated invisibly, but in order to dig out the lurking forces, Zhang Hanqing's suggestion was made to perform this seemingly risky but actually significant performance. In order to be realistic, they only told the young marshal a few confidants with important responsibilities, but did not alert him at all to his illness.
He said guiltily: "Zanyao (his name has been changed from Zhan'ao after entering Beijing), this policy is really a last resort. But Xiaoliuzi is right, we should clear out the rebels in the party earlier. It is beneficial to the party and the country. Without these people, we will make great strides forward without any worries. You should take good care of your health, I have worked hard for you these days."
Sun Liechen's hand was grabbed by Zhang Hanqing again. He looked at Zhang Hanqing, shook his head and said: "I think only the young marshal can come up with this kind of idea, but it also proves that the young marshal's inner-party 'discipline centralism' has tenacity. vitality, and will not affect the stability of the party and the country due to major changes. In this matter, I, Sun, admire you very much!"
On this occasion, Sun Liechen was still advocating to improve his image. How could Zhang Hanqing be embarrassed? He grabbed Sun Liechen with both hands and said emotionally: "With Uncle Sun's understanding, and with the understanding of the generals and elders who are loyal to the party and the countryIt means that the People's Army cannot leave this outstanding commander. As an older generation of warlords, regardless of whether Wu Junsheng has truly integrated into the work of the new government or not, as one of the first few people in the Feng clan, his contribution is undeniable, and Zhang Hanqing will not do the same thing.
In official history, the two brothers were bombed together in Huanggutun, and they were indeed Zhang Zuolin's life-and-death friends. The attempted coup has sown the seeds of panic within the Kuomintang. Zhang Hanqing can no longer destabilize the morale of the military.
Zhang Zuolin, who had originally planned to support his son for a while, saw that his son had successfully won the hearts of the old Feng clan, so he said openly: "You are not to blame for this, it is Xu Wu (Zhang Jinghui's nickname) who caused the trouble. It's hard to tell what else the brothers are hiding!" From then on, Wu Junsheng often used this incident to remind him to correct his position, and he followed Zhang Zuolin throughout his life, never thinking twice about it. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 831 Civil and Military Ways
This coup exposed a number of discords buried within the People's Army in advance, and also made the competition for political power a big step in a direction more favorable to Zhang Hanqing. After this battle, the unrest factors in the Lao-Feng clique were basically eliminated, and power became more concentrated in Zhang Hanqing's direction.
In addition, a new round of revised congressional elections is also underway. After playing with the rules, making sufficient preparations, and being unable to turn defeat into victory or suppress other political parties with an absolute lead when political affairs are in favor of the People's Party, it is a failure in itself.
This situation has not occurred again. In the Senate, where the People's Party itself has the upper hand, due to the involvement of Ningxia Provincial Chairman Ma Tingxiang in the rebellion, seven senators were affected and replaced with candidates recommended by the People's Party.
This is the credit of the Ministry of National Security. As long as you are against the opposition or have any involvement, you will be censored - who makes your butt dirty?
The House of Representatives has undergone a major reorganization. Representatives who originally occupied half of the country suddenly became "representatives of the House of Representatives" and were re-registered and elected to the list of members of the House of Representatives by their provinces, which is equivalent to starting over again.
It’s just that this time, the provincial councils reviewed the candidate lists very harshly. The grassroots election committees firmly understood the intentions of the People’s Party committees at all levels and elected out some people who did not meet the requirements and did not agree with the People’s Party | leadership.
This work is actually the fermentation of the strong deployment made by Zhang Hanqing at the National Provincial Organizational Work Conference of the People’s Party held after the introduction of the new election method of the Congress. Within a month, good news came from various places. In this round of elections, the Kuomintang suffered a huge loss. Among a total of 966 House of Representatives candidates, it only received 125 votes, far behind the People's Party with 754 votes.
Although it still ranks as the second largest party in Congress with 87 votes more than other parties combined, the People's Party overwhelmingly crushed all other factions.
In the next election of the House of Representatives, the People's Party will be governed by accident, if it wants to do this. With a parliamentary ratio of 78%, it can amend matters covering all bills, and the People's Party's position will be solid.
The influential Zhili, Anhui, Shanxi, and Feng cliques that were active in the early years of the Republic of China were basically wiped out. On the contrary, Yu Yifan's "Chinese Women's Alliance" made another victory in this situation, increasing its number to 11 ticket, which is the alternative to the PPP in all electoral campaigns.
These alone are not enough. In the summary of what can be regarded as an "incident drill", Zhang Hanqing fully realized that he did not fully understand the significance of the existence of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee: he only focused on revising or preventing the judicial system from becoming a vassal of the Party, but fundamentally lost the Party's understanding of the judicial system. The significance of practical guidance. This is overkill.
The judiciary is independent of the legislation and administration. It is only successful with the decision and full authorization of the People's Party. The People's Party should have sufficient means to avoid possible mistakes. As a member of the citizenry, party members who violate the law should be punished by justice. sanctions. But as a leading group, the People's Party cannot give up its natural leadership in this area. The current Republic of China has been established as a system of separation of powers under the leadership of the People's Party |
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing took the lead in establishing the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee in the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee. Its main responsibility is not like the many concurrent posts of public security director or occasional court or procuratorate president in later generations, but is entirely a position within the party. As the representative organization of the Party's management of the Armed Police Force, the Armed Police Force is jointly commanded by the local government and the superiors of the Armed Police Force.
In this incident, the Secretary of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee could not command the Provincial Armed Police Corps, which was one of the reasons why Zhang Hanqing ordered this change.
Since the establishment of a provincial military region system has been planned, the secretary of the provincial party committee will naturally become the secretary of the provincial military region; the armed police force, which has a slightly weaker armed force and is mainly responsible for maintaining social stability, will have secretaries of political and legal committees at all levels serving as secretaries; its Another responsibility is to supplement the Ministry of National Security, which is a state apparatus in addition to the military and is in charge of the domestic intelligence system.
The security forces stationed in various places have all been reorganized and placed under the management of the provincial military regions. In order to emphasize the leadership of the party organization where the local garrison is located and reflect the political principle that the party leads everything, the first secretary of the provincial military region is concurrently served by the secretary of the provincial party committee to coordinate the military, land relationship. Similarly, the secretary of the municipal party committee concurrently serves as the first secretary of the military division, and the commanders of provincial and municipal military (sub) divisions are all members of the Standing Committee of the party committee at the same level.
Provincial military regions are administratively managed by each military region, and their commanders are all major generals; local armies that manage directly administered provinces and geographically important provinces such as Xinjiang are called garrison areas, and their commanders are one level higher, and are lieutenant generals; in view of Beijing's special status, Beijing The provincial garrison area was called the Beijing Garrison Area, and the original Beijing Garrison Area was renamed the Beijing Military Region.
There have been major personnel changes in the Shenyang Military Region: Zhang Zuoxiang resigned from the post of commander of the Shenyang Military Region because he was unable to balance central and local work for a long time, and was replaced by Deputy Commander PeiXun Xun was promoted, and his position as commander of the Beidahuang Construction Corps was held by Du Jiwu.
Wang Ruixue, commander of the 19th Army who closely followed Zhang Zuolin in this incident, also served as chief of staff; Zhao Zhixiang, the courageous commander of the 20th Army, was transferred to the position of director of the General Political Department of the Armed Police Force, which was regarded as a promotion, while Wang Yizhe was relieved of this part-time job;
Zhang Jinghui’s position as commander of the Mongolian Construction Corps was officially promoted by Wang Xianghua. As a rising star in the People’s Army, Wang Xianghua still serves as the commander of the 16th Army, which can be said to be full of stamina. His position as director of the Political Department of the Corps was replaced by Liu Qiangdong.
The commander of the Xinjiang Construction Corps was promoted from Niu Yuanfeng. In Zhang Hanqing's future plan, the commanders of each construction corps will be the natural new deputy commanders of the military regions in which they are located to increase their influence in the military.
This incident also has a good performance, that is, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission can control the overall situation of the country well, showing a strong ability to control the country, thus making it possible for civilians to govern the country.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The one with the gun is the grass-head king, and the Feng clan also gains territory from the battlefield. After the country was unified, these military generals had the final say on national affairs.
Governing a country is different from fighting a war. Masculine soldiers have instinctive flaws for soft politics. Otherwise, why would there be a saying since ancient times that "you can conquer the world immediately, but you cannot rule the world immediately". In later generations, governing the country by civilians was seen as a symbol of dishonesty, while military intervention in politics was a setback in political development.
Clausewitz's "On War" writes very clearly: War is the continuation of politics. In other words, war itself is an extreme political method. Therefore, whether to launch a war, when and where to launch a war, and what purpose the war is to achieve should be decided by politicians and civilian officials. What soldiers need to think about is how achieve these strategic goals.
The value of soldiers can only be reflected in war. Soldiers' military exploits and status in the military are gained from victory after victory, so they have an instinctive interest in war. In national affairs or international disputes, more The earth will proceed with a once and for all war.
Therefore, it is difficult for the military government to get rid of the temptation to launch war, and it will have a relatively obvious tendency of militarism. As the saying goes, "civilians should step aside and soldiers should act recklessly." Japanese militarism is an example.
In this way, the country will be reduced to a war machine, with no room for reconciliation. Historically, military uniforms have overshadowed suits and have been the source of chaos in the country.
It can be seen from the positions of China's national leadership in later generations that the voice of people with military backgrounds in national affairs is weakening rather than increasing: whether it is the number of members of the Politburo or the list of members of the Politburo | Standing Committee, you can see to this trend.
But the fact that the military has withdrawn from national affairs does not mean that it does not attach importance to its development. This must be viewed in two parts. Later China's concept of military management was based on the need for soldiers to obey political needs, but it did not weaken its power. This can be seen from the fact that military spending began to increase when economic construction developed to a certain extent.
Will this result in a weak Song Dynasty and a weak Ming Dynasty, like the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in history, which "emphasized culture over military affairs" and "used culture to control military affairs"? First of all, it is necessary to explain that the Ming Dynasty was not a weak Ming Dynasty. Even in the last days, there were still many brave generals and capable soldiers. It was just a coincidence that caused embarrassing regression. Nurhachi was also tortured by Li Chengliang in his early years.
The military defeat of the Ming Dynasty was actually surprisingly similar to that of the Song Dynasty: infantry versus cavalry, and transportation limited the scale of the war or determined the outcome of the war.
Take the Song Dynasty as an example. The military incompetence of the Song Dynasty was not simply a matter of "emphasis on literature," "civilian layman commanding connoisseurs," or "emperor shrinking eggs," and it was completely meaningless to clamor for iron-blooded martial arts.
What does it mean to be weak? The late Northern Song Dynasty in front of the Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty in front of the Meng Yuan Dynasty were considered weak. However, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was still the formidable enemy of the powerful Liao Kingdom. For example, the Military and Wei Chronicles of the "History of Liao" also said, "Although the Song Dynasty has lost geographical advantages for a long time, the old ambitions state that the only purpose of the army is to fight against the Song Dynasty." The Song Dynasty was a life-and-death enemy to Xixia, and to the Tubo and Yellow-headed Uyghurs in the Qing and Tang Dynasties, they were giant beasts from ancient times.
Upper decision decided by the economic background. The internal root cause of the military shortcomings of the Song Dynasty lies in the fact that since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the domestic manor serfdom was replaced by the tenancy system, the decline of large real estates, the degree of land intensification was reduced, and it was difficult to develop animal husbandry on a large scale. Its decline led to the lack of animal power in the entire society, which in turn led to the country's Logistics operations capabilities are weak during external operations.
Domestic transportation has been greatly reduced, which has greatly weakened the country's control over the lower levels and its overall mobilization ability. This was the reason why the Song Dynasty had to build forts and make shallow attacks in its war against Xixia, but was unable to carry out large-scale expeditions to plow the courtyard and sweep holes.
Since the People's Army has established a large number of military academies, middle and high-level officers have a certain level of education, and the new generation has a tendency to catch up, so the traditional concept of "laymen leading experts" is no longer in line with its actual situation.
When Zhang Hanqing established the Political Department, he did not replace the command authority of the headquarters over the army. It was precisely because of the "specialization in skills". After all, fighting, being able to fight, and being able to win wars are the military's top priority.
"However, we must prevent the military from overexpanding and impose necessary restraints. This is the responsibility of the Political Department. "Follow the Party and win the war" is exactly the implementation of the military principle of "the Party commands the gun".
Based on this idea, Zhang Hanqing began to launch a new round of reforms in the party, government, and military structures.

Chapter 834 The battle behind the new marriage law
??
Puyi has been staying in Qincheng Prison since he was brought back. Wanrong is very worried about this: the former Qing emperor is now a prisoner, and is considered by public opinion to be a traitor or Manchu traitor who betrayed his ancestors to the Japanese. His life is in danger. As a queen, where should she go?
Since Puyi decided to go to Dalian, she broke with him psychologically. Under the influence of Zhang Hanqing, she deeply believed that no matter what political opinions, ideas, or interests she had, it was contemptible and unforgivable to appear in the country. But they have been a couple in name for many years, and she has never been able to forget Puyi's kindness to her after they got married.
Because of the rush to clean up the situation after his "comeback", Zhang Hanqing has never been able to take care of it. Now that the political labor system has begun to be implemented, and the election of Congress in the House of Representatives will definitely be in trouble, he starts to have time again. No, on the night when the political work system was promulgated, he came to Wanrong's residence.
This is a two-story building near Tsinghua University. It was originally Zhang Hanqing’s den when he was a hostage. After entering Beijing, it has been sealed up and seems to be prepared to be used as the "Former Residence of the Young Marshal" for public exhibition a hundred years later. Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing doesn't have that luxury. Besides, he is still alive, so why do he do these things?
He has been in joy when he learned that Wanrong was pregnant. It turned out that it was not that I was useless, but that Yu Yifan, Gu Ruiyu and the others met at the wrong time. But we have to work hard. As an important member of the Central Committee, every move reflects the will of the country. Now it is difficult to go to Tianjin to find Gu Ruiyu or "Modern Express" to find Yu Yifan with too much fanfare.
As for Liang Qingzhu, he could no longer describe his pain in words. Without it, the "New Marriage Law of the Republic of China" was promulgated.
Speaking of which, this law was completed under the impetus of Yu Yifan. The biggest difference from the previous treatment of polygamy is that it affirms the equality of rights for all types of children.
In ancient times, the children born to the principal wife were called "legiary", and the children born to concubines were called "concubines". The children of black households who were not even concubines were naturally called "illegitimate children." Although they are all children, their rights are very different. In terms of property inheritance rights, legitimate children have inherent advantages.
The man is the master of the house, and the woman is the master of the house. Everything in the house belongs to the wife, including all the children. Regardless of the legitimate or concubine, the first wife must be called mom, also known as "ma'am". Children born from concubines can only call their biological mother "aunt". This is greatly reflected in "A Dream of Red Mansions" .
This thing that does not match modern civilization was widely criticized after the May 4th Movement. Since women's rights were proposed and equality between men and women was advocated, children born from concubines should also enjoy equal rights. This is the biggest difference between the new Marriage Law and the old law.
However, the issue of the concubine’s identity has not been effectively resolved, because in this era, it has become common for powerful men to marry several wives.
Senior cadres of the Central Committee, including Zhang Zuolin, basically have wives and concubines unless they are trendy or have studied abroad. For example, Zhang Hanqing officially had one wife and four concubines. Liang Qingzhu didn't know how to count them, and Sheng Aiyi, Song Meiling, and Wanrong didn't know how to count them.
It’s not a matter of them safeguarding their “rights and interests”. It has become a fait accompli. How is the identity of this concubine calculated?
Speaking of which, ancient China actually did not practice "polygamy", but "monogamy and multiple concubines." Although the emperor had "three thousand beauties in the harem", there was only one queen who was considered the "main wife". The extra ones are not called concubines, but concubines.
No matter what it is called, existing things, even the law, also pay attention to "not retroactively", so the new law also avoids this problem, "there is no need to regulate the issue of concubines."
The reason is this embarrassing explanation: "The system of concubinage should be abolished urgently. Although it still exists in fact, it is not legally recognized, and its status does not need to be stipulated in the code or a separate special law." The central idea is acquiescence. Facts, refusal to evaluate.
But the Civil Affairs Bureau is not easy to operate! It is easy for newlyweds to register, but for wives who have lived in the same household for most of their lives, it is not fun to renew their certificates. You can't write concubine, you can't all marry the same "husband" as a wife, right? That's called bigamy!
The problem was raised to the top, and later the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting for this purpose. Everyone expressed their opinions tacitly, and basically there was no good opinion.
As the saying goes, "It is better to destroy a temple than a marriage." Concubine has been an identity for many years. It is difficult to solve it all at once! What's more, many of the people sitting here have many concubines, like Zhang Zuolin who laughed and scolded Zhang Hanqing: "I have so much time to spare that I can talk about this matter."
Even among the people, it is also a very lively topic. It has also been discussed in newspapers across the country, involving all walks of life. Some scholars believe that the abolition of concubines is aimed at protecting monogamy; some scholars believe that this??Wives and concubines compete for profit, which is a signal to promote equality among wives and concubines. Some scholars believe that this is a sign of women's awakening and a symbol of the improvement of women's status
This is a difficult problem that Yu Yifan gave Zhang Hanqing.
It has been more than two years since we started a de facto marriage, and I am not as good as my two sisters Huang Wanqing and Gu Ruiyu. Huang Wanqing's concubine's identity was recognized by the Zhang family, and she also moved to the Marshal's Mansion, now Zhongnanhai, to live with the Marshal in a grand manner; Gu Ruiyu officially married Zhang Hanqing in Tianjin, although she was still in the hearts of the people at the time. She is a concubine, but she is recognized at least.
I feel a little embarrassed myself. Although everyone knew that she was Zhang Hanqing's concubine, Zhang Hanqing did not announce it in a big way due to various concerns, and only used the de facto marriage to inform the outside world of her status. This is similar to living together outside marriage. It is avant-garde, but Yu Yifan always feels that something is missing.
Having no status is the next best thing, and not having children is the problem. Whether the mother is more valuable than the son or the son is more valuable than the mother, the prerequisite is that there must be a baby. If this little girl hadn't been entangled with him last night, she wouldn't have known that she was foreshadowing the child in her belly.
After three years of infertility, Zhang Hanqing seems to be giving birth again. Less than a month after learning that Wanrong was pregnant, Yu Yifan also had a baby. It's just that her efforts are just for the child she has never met in her belly. Isn't this maternal love a bit too early? Even without this method, how could I still harm my own child? He has no thoughts of concubine, as long as it is his own, he will treat everyone equally.
“ Yifan could only smile bitterly as he insisted on turning the bill into writing.
Being considerate of Yu Yifan, he adopted a secret promotion method, so this marriage law that did not hurt anyone but was an improvement over the previous one was quickly introduced. As for the existence of concubines, it only mentioned "no doubt" and also made an embarrassing guarantee: "To this day, without going back to the past, only monogamy is recognized as legal."
That means from now on, male compatriots who want to take concubines should pay attention, the law no longer recognizes it.
In this case, Zhang Hanqing still has a few people around him who need to consider.
It has no impact on the arrangement of Sheng and Song, two Shanghainese ladies. Due to their family status, they cannot openly be his concubines, so it doesn't matter whether they have this status or not. The only problem is how to arrange them.
As for Liang Qingzhu, he had a headache. Because of his prominent status, he had never dared to take her into his room blatantly. Now that the law is being discussed by both the government and the public, he is even less afraid to mention it, but both the government and the public know! If I had known that Yu Yifan would have taken care of this matter later, it was still barely possible to play on the sidelines in the north, and the old man of the Liang family also agreed.
Liang Qingzhu, who knew Zhang Hanqing was in pain, comforted him: "It's fine just like this. I don't want any status. I am willing to be the woman behind you forever."
Since then, she has not mentioned the issue of holding the ceremony again. This issue has been discussed happily by her many times after she committed herself to Zhang Hanqing.
Women’s tolerance made Zhang Hanqing feel guilty, so he strongly required in the marriage law that children born from concubines and children born out of wedlock should enjoy the same status and rights as legitimate children. This paved the way for Liang Qingzhu and the others.
Without status, children will be their only comfort in the future. Given his status, no one in China would have the guts to marry them unless he agreed; and given their family background, they would not leave him and start another family.
This law is a great benefit for concubines to have children. Although the mother's status is yet to be determined, starting from her children, her status is the same as that of a legitimate child. And one of its great advances is to promote equality between men and women, which is reflected in the fact that children have the same equality in inheriting inheritance rights.
Zhang Hanqing is still very open-minded about the rights of children. Three wives and four concubines are no longer appropriate. The status of concubines is already poor. If their children are classified into different grades, it is really a return to the old society. This is unfair.
The reason why I was slightly reluctant to cancel my concubine status was purely because I didn’t properly arrange the people around me. But he can't veto it - he can easily do it if he wants to.
But he knew that this was Yu Yifan using his status as the president of the "Chinese Women's Alliance" to be dissatisfied with his relationship with the queen. Throughout the promotion of the new law, she could be seen waving flags and shouting from behind. It is said that Yu Fengzhi and others fully supported it, otherwise it would not have entered the legislative process so quickly.
His attitude was naturally used by his attackers to make a big fuss, saying that he was not satisfied with having one wife and three concubines, and that he was still paving the way for a continued affair, which would be unfaithful to his wife. Some people even recounted his love history and criticized him for not respecting women
However, Gu Hongming, who was once dissatisfied with Zhang Hanqing, jumped out to speak for him and praised him: "Being loyal, filial, and romantic is a true hero; he who does not love money, wine, or his wife is a new man. Toutuo.”
This person opposed Western learning and once opposed Zhang Hanqing, but after Zhang Xun's restoration, he was protected by Zhang Hanqing. This incident has also become a good talk, and Zhang Hanqing is considered to be tolerant. However, by defending Zhang Hanqing in this matter, he did not mean to relieve him of the fact that he had taken in several concubines? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Does not love money, does not love wine, does not love his wife, he is a new Toutuo. "

Chapter 835 The divorce case that caused a sensation in the Republic of China
Wanrong has not reacted to this matter yet. She has not thought that even though she is not ready to enter the Zhang family, firepower is already aimed at her in the backyard of the Zhang family. She was still struggling with what to do with the fetus in her belly, and her mother Hengxiang came to take care of her secretly.
Her pregnancy reaction is very strong. Anyone who knows the industry knows that she is already an expectant mother, even though her belly is not yet big. If you don't deal with this matter now, you will be even more troubled when it becomes impossible to hide it.
Zhang Hanqing is here to give her tenderness and comfort.
Although Wanrong insisted on the tradition of sleeping in different beds during pregnancy, she couldn't bear Zhang Hanqing's insistence, and he still succeeded. Although he and Yu Yifan had completely relaxed last night, he still couldn't restrain his impulse after meeting the gentle and pleasant queen. Of course, he was extremely gentle, making Wanrong fall in deep love.
He whispered in Wanrong's ear: "I have arranged for someone to file a lawsuit with the court and file a divorce request with Puyi on your behalf. Soon, you will be free."
Wanrong was a little worried, but also a little hopeful: "After all, he is the emperor, so the influence is too great."
Zhang Hanqing was already confident: "After this incident, the emperor's reputation among the people has been ruined. How dare his original royalists get involved like before? I don't think they have the guts! After all, it is a matter of great right and wrong, traitor , Full of rape is beyond what ordinary people can bear psychologically.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off???????? Others dare not say it, but female compatriots must strongly agree with it. After all, there is only one queen in the world, are you a weather vane? "
Wanrong lowered her head: "What should I do after the divorce?"
Remarry? Definitely not possible. Marry Zhang Hanqing? Absolutely impossible.
Zhang Hanqing actually has no clue, but the above two are the last resort. Not to mention the husband who took over the emperor and became the queen, even though he was a divorced queen, he openly opposed the new law and had a very bad political impact. Think about it again, but it doesn't need to be so extreme. Don’t you think the mistresses and mistresses in future generations will live a happy life?
He hugged her smooth body and said apologetically: "Get a divorce first, and I will arrange a fake marriage for you with a man named Zhang." If others could hide it, she was the queen! Every move is eye-catching, and the key is that it will definitely be written down in the history books.
At the turn of the old and new times, as the leader of the party and the country, I took the lead in destroying the law. Is the "separation of powers" an empty talk? As a "citizen", aren't we above the law?
There is nothing to say about Wanrong, she is destined to be Zhang Hanqing’s woman. He can think like this, but it is also a last resort.
At first, Zhang Hanqing entrusted someone to propose to Puyi on behalf of Wanrong. Who would have expected that this incident would become a barometer of the effectiveness of the new marriage law. The first divorce case in the country under the new marriage law officially promulgated by the New Republic of China was the divorce between emperors and empresses, which added considerable historical significance and weather vane to its process.
“All of a sudden, not only Puyi in prison, but also the elderly and young people scattered across the country were shocked. They spared no effort to launch an attack, targeting Zhang Hanqing directly.
Yes, they believe that it was the Young Marshal's intervention that gave Wanrong the courage to take this step; and it was the Young Marshal who put the emperor in jail.
Naturally, they directly ignored the emperor's desire to show foreign self-respect, and put all the blame on Zhang Hanqing. They believed that all the above were his threats. They also implicitly said that he used both kindness and power to cause the queen to mess up the palace and the emperor. Behind bars.
They also attacked Wanrong’s natal family, forcing Rongyuan to write an “open letter” in the newspaper to persuade her to “step back from the brink and turn around.”
Absolutely can’t leave! We must never let outsiders see royal jokes again! The emperor is a man who cares about face, so he might become angry. They frequently put pressure on Wanrong's family and submitted articles to newspapers, believing that this was a very serious political issue: the emperor and queen were not ordinary citizens, and the royal family also enjoyed preferential treatment from the Republic of China government!
Zhang Hanqing has become famous for no reason. No matter from a moral or emotional perspective, Wanrong cannot suffer along with a "man" like Pu Yi. He didn't think there was anything wrong between him and Wanrong at all - even if he used force on her, didn't she accept it obediently? Moreover, as a man, he cannot let his woman suffer such humiliation. To attack her is to make things difficult for him.
"The royalists underestimated his ability and political methods. His usual style was to be strong when strong. Since you are willing to die, I am willing to bury you! He instructed the Ministry of National Security to properly announce the details of Puyi's collusion with the Japanese, and took this as an opportunity to have the Ministry of National Security file a lawsuit in court, accusing Puyi of "traitoring the country for glory, committing espionage and treason", and decided to choose a date Make publictrial.
This time it can hit the royalists seven inches. Who could imagine that the emperor, who was so high above the throne, suddenly became a prisoner? Regardless of the final outcome of the trial, as long as Puyi stands in the dock, the last bit of dignity of the royal family will be gone. For the already declining royal family, this was nothing less than a major earthquake.
The emperor was in jail, and the fire in the backyard made the former princes and nobles feel like they were crazy.
So they urgently discussed with Wanrong's attorney, Zhang Shaozeng, a barrister of the Republic of China: "As long as Wanrong agrees not to prosecute the emperor, not to remarry after divorce, not to live in her natal family, not to live elsewhere, and not to do anything that damages the reputation of the royal family, the emperor agrees. divorce."
To be honest, Wanrong also wanted to gently open a page like this. After all, as a former queen, she still attached great importance to her reputation and was also concerned about not damaging her family's interests.
But Zhang Hanqing refused to let it go. He said to Wanrong: "I hate people threatening me the most in my life. Besides, making a deal with me on collaborating with the enemy is something I can't bear. Mao is Mao, Ding is Ding, they If you want to file a lawsuit, just come and file it. Fifteen years ago, the Republic of China was able to oust the emperor from power, but now it's because of their few shouts that the rule of law has been disrupted?"
He comforted her and said: "Don't worry, I will never let your family get hurt! I will also use them as an example to see what happens to those who say goodbye to the royal family and follow the central government!"
So the Queen’s divorce case, which shocked both China and the world, was held grandly in the Beijing Intermediate Court. Of course, Wanrong did not attend. Her agent told Chinese and foreign reporters in a sonorous voice: "The old queen is also a citizen of the country and also enjoys the right to freedom of marriage. Please focus on the practice of China's first "Marriage Law" and let us take a look , can the new law give the old queen the freedom to divorce!"
The Chinese Women's League will regard this lawsuit as a touchstone of the success or failure of the new law, so it spares no effort to cheer for Wanrong. Yu Yifan, who was using the remote control behind the scenes, was listening to the situation report coming from the front, while stroking his stomach and thinking viciously: "If I hadn't seen Sister Wanrong pitiful, I wouldn't have helped you, a bad guy, like this!"
During a night of entanglement, Zhang Hanqing was forced to reveal his relationship with Wanrong. It's just that he ruthlessly exaggerated Wanrong's suffering in the harem, and also fabricated the feeling that he and Wanrong fell in love at first sight, and that he vowed to save her from danger. In addition, she was pregnant, and he had to protect her free life and personal independence no matter what. It's like turning yourself into a combination of a lover and a warrior.
To this, Yu Yifan just listened to it. Zhang Hanqing's romantic style was well-known in the Republic of China - because he was so famous, in the new era, he would inevitably be compared with men who insist on monogamy. The national conditions of this era were like this. Yu Yifan had no ability to stop his desire for women, so he resigned himself to ignoring him.
Fortunately, one of his advantages is that he is passionate and has the sense of responsibility that a man should have. The reason why she jumped out to help Wanrong was just because she was in the same boat: they were both pregnant with Zhang Hanqing's child.
So a new point of view emerged: As Puyi is a man who has brought great shame to the country, is it necessary for Wanrong to continue to stay with him? For the queen who "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light", should we use a generous heart to make her feel the tolerance and support of the country and society?
The verdict of the District Court was quite unfavorable to Puyi: among the seven judges, six of them convicted him of treason, and the other one recused himself due to some relationship.
Facing jail or life danger, Puyi can no longer care about Wanrong's affairs. Now he needs Wanrong to give him a hand. Based on her relationship with Zhang Hanqing, it is okay to package him as the last monarch who suffered greatly from the Japanese.
He sent someone to inform Wanrong's lawyer Zhang Shaozeng: "As long as Wanrong agrees to three conditions, he agrees to divorce her. The conditions are: not to remarry, live in her natal family, and not to do anything that damages the reputation of the royal family. In addition, she must prove her innocence." "
After all, the so-called treason is only the testimony of Kawashima Yoshiko. If the queen still testifies for him during the divorce, his situation will definitely be greatly improved. Moreover, with her relationship with the young marshal, it shouldn't be a problem to win back the case on appeal.
But he made another mistake of wanting to save face. Where did Wanrong's divorce come from? It is nothing more than to facilitate communication with Zhang Hanqing and conceal the truth about the child from the outside world. If you don’t get married, who does this child belong to?
So Wanrongfang simply rejected Puyi's opinion and told him clearly: "The divorce was just to preserve freedom and reputation. What does it have to do with him whether he remarries and where he lives? As for anything that damages the reputation of the royal family, there is room for expansion. Too big". And according to Zhang Hanqing's intention, he said: "Now that the emperor has colluded with the Japanese, the common people have almost no reputation. I am worried that my reputation will be damaged!"
Although the royalists are waving flags and shouting, they have become clowns at the end of their lives. How can they compete with the sun and the moon? The mere accusation of "traitor" made them unable to stand up for a long time. Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye knew that behind Wanrong stood a great man.
If Wanrong is declared treasonous, Wanrong can divorce naturally without any obstruction; but if Wanrong is divorced first and obtains her "understanding", it is possible that Puyi's crime will be reduced - you have to look at the person behind Wanrong. Meaning of man.
Although it talks about the "separation of three powers," there is still a long way to go before this new thing can take root in China. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?

Chapter 836 The emperor stepped down from the altar
Now the demands of the royalists have ranged from how to divorce the queen to how to ensure that the emperor will not be tried. No matter what the charge is, no matter whether the charge is light or serious, as long as Puyi is interrogated, it will bring the emperor down from the altar, and the last dream and opportunity to restore the Qing Dynasty will be shattered.
Therefore, Puyi's lawyers insisted that according to Article 1 of the "Regulations on Preferential Treatment for Abdication of the Qing Dynasty" reached between the Republic of China government and the late Qing government, "the title of the Qing emperor will not be abolished, and the Republic of China government will treat him with the courtesy of a foreign monarch." "According to the principle that the law is not retroactive, Puyi should enjoy immunity according to the law.
If this one succeeds, then everything else will not be a problem. In line with the principle of reciprocal concessions, Puyi agreed to move to the Summer Palace and agreed to divorce the queen unconditionally. This provision was also proposed in the original preferential treatment regulations, but it did not stipulate the time for the deposed emperor to withdraw from the Forbidden City.
Now, the royalists feel very sincere in offering this in exchange.
It is within the People's Party, especially those who are older and have experienced the influence of Qing thought such as Zhang Zuolin, Wu Junsheng and others, that it is time to stop. After all, there is still a trace of respect for the royal family in their hearts. A deposed emperor is no longer of much use. Providing him with some appropriate treatment is also a bit of affection from a former minister, and it can also let the outside world see the tolerance of the Republic of China government.
In addition, recognizing the treaties of the previous generation also shows that their government is in the same vein as the previous generation and has political significance.
But Zhang Hanqing never agreed. He believed that this was the best time to overthrow the royal family. The Republic of China has been established for almost fifteen years, and to still let it wear that decadent hat is to imprison its thoughts. It is impossible to rejuvenate China in the secular world without smashing the old pots and pots. And, if the end result goes his way, the benefits are twofold.
The first is to defeat the "love rival" - of course Puyi doesn't take it seriously, but it can help Wanrong to be psychologically relieved, and she won't be worried about the queen stealing a child all day long. In this way It is not good for pregnant women and children.
Secondly and most importantly, the 4 million yuan annual fee given to the royal family by the Republic of China government can now be legally confiscated. For him, who spends every penny spent on economic construction in half, this is not a small amount of money. Remember, it’s every year!
Comparing the large-scale 75mm field guns and mountain guns equipped by the People's Army, each one is worth 2,000 oceans. In other words, the country's annual living expenses for Emperor Xun can equip 37 artillery regiments! Now this money is completely saved.
Unable to convince Zhang Hanqing, Zhang Zuolin had to express his respect for the royal family in his own way. So on a sunny morning, he drove to Qincheng Prison to pay a visit to Puyi, who was serving half of his sentence.
It is said that he is serving a half sentence because the court has not yet made a final verdict, so now he is only charged with a suspected crime for judicial detention. In addition, due to Puyi's status and influence, the court also allowed Puyi to be detained from the Forbidden City with the consent of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the People's Party. He sent several eunuchs who served him daily to follow him. Who made Puyi accustomed to a life of opening his mouth for food and stretching his hands for clothes?
In addition, he made an exception and allowed several of his royalist masters to visit him every day to put pressure on him and prevent him from going to extremes. After all, in his heart, Zhang Hanqing did not want to force him to death.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was worried about the influence and gave him a chance to start a new life with numerous crimes. Now the cloud of feudal ideology still hangs over the Chinese people, and his crime is not serious. No matter what, he must show the greatness of the People's Party | Degree.
Although the top leader of the Republic of China government came here in a simple way, the necessary retinue and defensive measures still alarmed Puyi and others. The relatively spacious cell suddenly became much more refreshing after many "irrelevant" people were suddenly cleared out. However, the suddenly tense atmosphere made Pu Yi shocked and said: "Is this going to kill me?!"
Before the panicked man knew what was happening, Zhang Zuolin had already strode over. Their eyes met, and both sides were speechless.
Puyi was thinking about how to address him, "Chairman Zhang, Commander Zhang or Mr. Zhang?" Over there, Zhang Zuolin had already pushed the golden mountain and worshiped the jade pillar to the ground and gave him the great ceremony of a courtier meeting the emperor. He kowtowed to him respectfully while lying on the ground. He asked: "Hello, Your Majesty!"
Puyi never dreamed that Zhang Zuolin could kowtow to him. Being flattered, he quickly bent down to help Zhang Zuolin up and said, "Hello, Marshal Zhang!"
No need to wonder that this happened between them, of course we cannot understand their thoughts with our eyes. However, considering China's long history, from the time Qin Shihuang proclaimed himself emperor in 221 BC to the abdication of Emperor Xuantong in 1912, the emperor existed in China for 2132 years. In addition, the culture of loyalty and filial piety began to be emphasized from the Zhou Dynasty, and the emperor was also the emperor, The multiple roles of national leaders and parents are deeply ingrained in people's minds, and people will instinctively respect them;
The second reason is that in the early Republic of China,There is nothing you can do. And running away does not mean treason, but it is not tolerated by the domestic public opinion created by the People's Party. Zhang Hanqing has already married someone else’s wife, so it’s not like he wants to kill him too—he is a poor man too!
Puyi expressed his obedience to the verdict and said he would not appeal. When he personally confessed his crime and agreed to divorce Wanrong, all parties waiting in the audience expressed their feelings with their own understanding. Royalists saw it as a sign of the official decline of the royal family, women's liberation groups saw it as a victory for feminism, and reporters at home and abroad interpreted it as a victory for Panzi from the perspective of Chinese history.
“The court of the Republic of China has completely regarded him as an ordinary citizen in this case. After this blow, the status of the Qing royal family among the people dropped sharply, and the Sandanzui Revolution was a complete success. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 837 When flirtatiousness meets a big stick
Zhang Zuolin lived up to his preamble and issued an amnesty order. Puyi escaped from prison and lived in a royalist-funded courtyard house at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, and has since faded out of people's sight.
The hotly debated divorce case between the emperor and the empress has come to an end, but it does not mean Wanrong's true liberation. In any case, the brand of "the last queen" is deeply engraved on her body. Because she is afraid of the pressure of public opinion, she is more afraid to go out than before. She wants to keep a low profile for a while, just in time to give birth to the child.
Zhang Hanqing doesn’t think so. Ordinarily, the matter between you and the Queen needs to be kept well concealed, right? After all, people in a small circle know and "spread the word" are two different things, but Zhang Hanqing is not afraid.
In his opinion, Wanrong has done a lot for herself: for a woman, her divorce case, which shocked the country, made her a topic of conversation after drinking and dinner in the streets. She takes great risks and almost completely loses her dignity, just because of a little lust of her own.
By taking the initiative and continuing to approach her publicly at this time, you can reduce the public's attention to her and direct the blame towards yourself.
After all, for a rising political star and a former empress who has come to an end, people will give more sympathy to the latter. So the next day, he accompanied the queen to the wedding of his former "love rival" and common loser Xu Zhimo in a high-profile manner.
Originally, he wanted to take Wanrong side by side to "make a shining debut", but she refused, so he had to let her follow him closely like a bird.
The romantic Zhang Hanqing also admired Xu Zhimo for giving up his pursuit of Lin Huiyin so neatly. The Saint of Love is the Saint of Love. When Zhang Hanqing wisely withdrew, he still clung to Lin Huiyin, even though Lin was already confirmed to be Liang Sicheng's lover at this time. But in the blink of an eye, he was about to marry another woman!
Xu Zhimo is the eldest son of Xu Shenru, the richest man in Xiashi. Lu Xiaoman's family background is also quite good. His father, Lu Ding, was the former director of the Taxation Department of the Ministry of Finance. One is a leader in the cultural world, and the other is a socialite. The combination of the two is a perfect match. But the most eye-catching thing is that both parties are married for the second time. At that time, this was quite rare.
“Coupled with the fact that Hu Shi served as the introducer and Liang Qichao witnessed the marriage, it was impossible not to cause a sensation.
Speaking of which, Xu Zhimo's father, Xu Shenru, initially disagreed with this marriage: one did not like it and thought such a woman was frivolous; the other felt that divorce was a treason for his son, and marrying a married woman was even more humiliating. Door style. After the mediation of Hu Shi and Liu Haisu, they reluctantly agreed, but they required that Hu Shi be the introducer and Liang Qichao witness the wedding, otherwise they would not agree.
???—Is this a way to drag Lao Liang into trouble? If you want to be embarrassed, throw them all together!
Hu Shi is an old friend of Xu Zhimo, so he can't refuse this invitation. Liang Qichao and Xu Shenru are old friends, and he is Xu Zhimo's mentor, so he can only agree. However, he was very angry about this disciple's romantic temperament.
Before, Xu Zhimo abandoned his wife for Lin Huiyin and competed with Liang Sicheng. Now, he destroyed someone else's family, and this person was none other than Wang Geng, a senior official of the People's Army who often stayed with them.
As a member of the “cultural circle” and a friend, Zhang Hanqing was naturally invited and attended. For Xu Zhimo, Zhang Hanqing attended the wedding banquet in person because of the guilt of repeatedly "plagiarizing" his poems. His joining brought this extraordinarily eye-catching wedding to a new level.
However, when he appeared at the wedding hand in hand with Wanrong, he met Lin Huiyin, who made him feel embarrassed for the first time in ten years with a casual look: "Young Marshal, can you introduce this person next to you?" New female companion?”
At this time, Lin Huiyin had just married to another woman. Times had changed, and Zhang Hanqing was able to let go of this hazy relationship. During this period, so many things happened, so many women were experienced, and my mind became dull. But her words clearly had an inexplicable meaning in them. Is this jealousy?
"New female companion" is a very strong word.
She did it on purpose.
She had seen her graceful appearance at the dinner party held for her before. It's just that at that time she was dressed in a traditional palace lady's attire, low-key and uneasy; now she is graceful and elegant, with a smile on her face.
There is also the vaguely bulging lower abdomen and the expression and movements of Zhang Hanqing clinging to Zhang Hanqing like a bird, which is too dazzling.
Such a high-profile display of their relationship caused gossipy news one after another in Beijing. If it weren't for aesthetic fatigue, Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman wouldn't have had their turn.
"Ms. Lin is deaf to what's going on outside the window and only wants to live a small life. These days, there are legends about my female companion in the streets and alleys, but you don't know about it. It's really rare." He said somewhat bitterly. He handled Wanrong's affairs in a somewhat dishonest manner and was willing to do it for her.?It's one thing to bear pressure, but it's another feeling to bear Lin Huiyin's eyes.
Lin Huiyin was silent and pulled Liang Sicheng to the seat next to him. Zhang Hanqing occasionally glanced at her, newlywed, and from time to time she turned to Liang Sicheng and smiled happily. Perhaps she was glad that she did not develop a relationship with Zhang Hanqing, a romantic young marshal; or perhaps she was recalling that she did not fall in love with a romantic and talented man like Xu Zhimo.
Back then, Xu Zhimo fell in love at first sight when he met Lin Huiyin in Yinglun, and submitted a divorce notice to his first wife Zhang Youyi. Regarding the criticism from his mentor Liang Qichao, he said with emotion, "I will visit my only soul mate in the vast sea of ??people: I am lucky to get him, but it is my fate to not get him, that's all."
Lin Huiyin always knew that Xu Zhimo was just a glimpse in her life, just a beautiful mistake. Regarding his behavior of abandoning his wife and children, she and her father Lin Changmin both expressed doubts about Xu Zhimo's character. She responded to Xu Zhimo's previous courtship like this: "I understand, but how can I respond?"
"But it's a good thing that the golden boys and girls in the literary and art circles have found a home. Anyway, the divorce of Lu Xiaoman and his wife seemed to be like a storm and then calm down. As a member of the industry and a mutual friend, it was natural for Zhang Hanqing to be invited as a guest.
They got married on China’s Chinese Valentine’s Day, the traditional Valentine’s Day, and they held a grand wedding in Beihai Park. At the wedding, Liang Qichao suddenly stood up and delivered the "most frank", "most straightforward" and "most unconventional" wedding speech ever:
"I'm here to say a few unpleasant words, so that the society will know that such evil examples are not worthy of treatment and are not worthy of encouragement——Xu Zhimo, you have an impetuous temperament, so that you can't achieve anything in learning. If you don’t succeed, you are a failure as a human being. Your divorce and remarriage are proof of your incompetence in love!”
The guests in the hall were all shocked. Is this a fucking wedding speech? It’s simply a denunciation!
Xu Zhimo’s face was burning. Although he could do anything for love, being slapped in the face in public still made him feel good. Lu Xiaoman's heart was in her throat - she was also divorced and remarried, and she didn't know what Mr. Liang would say that was unpleasant.
Fortunately, Liang Qichao could finally treat men and women differently and did not pursue her fiercely: "Lu Xiaoman, you and Xu Zhimo are both experienced. I hope that from now on you can abide by women's ethics and review your own personality and behavior!
Divorce and remarriage are all caused by the faults of your character. I hope you will not make the same mistakes over and over again. Don't use selfishness as the guideline for acting, don't use absurdity and enjoyment as the purpose of life pursuit, don't treat marriage as a child's play, think that you can get married if you are happy, divorce if you are unhappy, make your parents ashamed, make your friends look down upon, and let the society What a joke! "
Liang Qichao spoke happily, while the newlyweds were sitting on pins and needles. The more Old Master Liang foamed at the mouth, the more embarrassed they became. There was really no other way. Xu Zhimo stepped forward and grabbed Liang Qichao's arm and begged: "Teacher, please save some face for the students!"
Liang Qichao seemed to realize that this was not a lecture hall, and stopped the car urgently: "Anyway, I hope this is the last time you two get married in this life! This is my congratulations to you!——I'm done!"
All the guests in the hall breathed a sigh of relief. It was painful to feel like they wanted to laugh but held back because of the occasion. Zhang Hanqing also relaxed his body. He kept feeling a cold light stabbing his back, but Wanrong kept staring at him. When the atmosphere became lively again, Zhang Hanqing leaned against her ear and asked with a smile: "What were you looking at me for just now?"
Wan Rong gave a rare smile: "You should also let Mr. Liang scold you. Mr. Xu was scolded for just stopping his wife and remarrying. You are not satisfied with marrying a fourth wife, and you still want to be a prostitute outside. No." What should I scold?"
Maybe it’s a long-lasting love? Wanrong has gone through a huge transformation process from being passive at the beginning, to reluctantly accepting, to subconsciously cooperating, to now being cheerful. In more than three months, the two people's temperaments changed greatly: Zhang Hanqing changed from love to sex, and Wanrong changed from sex to love, which was completely the opposite.
Zhang Hanqing’s domineering attitude may be offensive to others, but to Wanrong, it is a reflection of his masculinity. His flamboyant youth and fearless boldness were in sharp contrast to Puyi's cowardice, which allowed him to finally conquer her.
Is this what Zhang Ailing said: "A woman will never fall in love with a man she thinks is pitiful. A woman's love for a man must be a little bit of admiration"? She completely admired Zhang Hanqing's masculinity for decisively shielding her from the wind and rain due to his great fame.
For Wanrong, who has broken free from the shackles of etiquette and has no physical intimacy with her husband, once she tastes love, she immediately feels wonderful. Coupled with the fact that Zhang Hanqing is not that annoying, his family background is not that shabby, and he is not only considerate but also considerate of people's clothes, her mood has also changed.
How else could Zhang Ailing say: "The way to catch a man is to seize his esophagus, and the way to catch a woman is to occupy her vagina?"

Chapter 838 National Tragedy
During this period, Zhang Hanqing spent more energy on the election of members of Congress.
“The embarrassing situation of the previous stage can no longer occur. The country needs stability and centralization of power, and it cannot stand this kind of internal strife. Therefore, in two months, Zhang Hanqing traveled to eleven provinces, talked with senior party, government, and military cadres and elected provincial congressmen in each province, inspected the electoral situation in various places, and prepared for the People's Party election early next year. The Third Congress set the tone.
The People’s Party is also working hard to select candidates at all levels starting from the county level, firmly grasping the leadership of parliaments at all levels that truly represent public opinion. Not only for this re-election, but also for this situation to become an important means for the People's Party to listen to public opinion in the future.
Zhang Hanqing decided that after this, he will let go of legislative power and let parliaments at all levels truly enjoy the power to supervise the government in accordance with the law. As long as he works tirelessly and with his youth, it will not be a problem for him to be in power in China for decades.
It is difficult to seize power and not easy to delegate power? Sooner or later, China's separation of powers will be fully realized. On that day, it will not be difficult to directly elect the president of the country.
So, the vigorous re-election of the House of Representatives and the by-election of senators came to a perfect conclusion in two months. Not surprisingly, the People's Party gained the positions of directors of all eight special committees and deans of the Senate and House of Representatives, and also firmly controlled the important "Members' Qualifications Review Committee." As for the chairman of the National Assembly, there is no one prepared to replace Wu Junsheng.
Ma Longtan continues to serve as Speaker of the Senate, which is a benefit to Wu Junsheng; Minister of United Front Work of the Central Committee Han Shuxiu also serves as Speaker of the House of Representatives, which is a great help to Wu Junsheng and also shares the pressure on him.
?The next step is the election of representatives of the People’s Party, which is also uneventful. The People's Party already has a fairly mature grassroots organization, and the previous Political Bureau of the Central Committee serves as the main force of the presidium. With Zhang Hanqing's control ability, there will be no problems in this election.
Everything is under control.
January 1, New Year’s Day, early morning.
Since it is a national holiday, most factories, mines, enterprises, government schools in China are on holiday, but Zhang Hanqing still got up very early. As the chairman of the presidium of this party congress, he must sign the list of candidates for Central Committee members submitted to the party congress.
Almost all the lists were generated under his intervention. Only one person, Mo Dehui, the Minister of Organization of the Central Committee, fully understood his intentions.
Sun Liechen, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, who is terminally ill, strongly requested that his list of candidates for member of the Central Committee, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, and member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee be deleted. So, the final list to add or not to add? He was deep in thought.
According to the opinions of Sun Liechen's consulting team of doctors, he can no longer survive until the convening of the new Congress. The words of the first-class doctors in these countries are correct. Even Sun Liechen himself knew it. He insisted on giving the limited quota to others to avoid temporary changes.
What a considerate helper, at the end of his life he still wanted to be able to control the overall situation without difficulty! But do you know? At present, no one can catch up with Zhang Hanqing's eleventh. With his huge prestige within the party, the government, and the army, he can even change the list at any time as he wishes, and get the approval of the Central Committee, the Political Bureau, and the Military Commission. Unconditional support!
Just when he decided to add Sun Liechen’s name to the end of the list, Zhu Guangmu, director of the Central Office, quietly knocked on the door and came in. His face was serious, and in an instant, Zhang Hanqing felt an ominous premonition. Although this fact would appear in front of him sooner or later, he was already prepared.
He asked gently: "Is it Mr. Sun's business?"
Zhu Guangmu nodded: "Yes, Marshal, Vice Chairman Sun passed away at 5:15 in the morning. I just got the news."
The General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has always been the first to know such important news. It is originally the hub of the Central Committee. Of course, it has first-hand information on the medical care of various leaders. Sun Liechen's condition is monitored 24 hours a day.
Zhang Hanqing is already exhausted. With the spirit of "prophet", he has delayed Sun Liechen's illness as much as possible, allowing him to live in this world for more than two years. However, this veteran who gave Zhang Hanqing strong and even selfless support during his rise to power could no longer give him any more help.
Through the list, Zhang Hanqing could still feel Sun Liechen beside him. At this time, tears had blurred his eyes.
That morning, all members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, members of the Military Commission, and senior party, military and government generals in Beijing filed in to say their final farewells. The generals who had fought with him quietly leaned on his bed with suppressed grief. side.
Yu Yifan was crying with tears at this time. She was Sun Liechen's adopted daughter and his only relative in this world. Recalling that in Tianjin, he resolutely "raised" her seniority at the risk of being laughed at as being "a poorer generation", and this contributed to??Marriage with Zhang Hanqing. This kind old man will leave her forever. How can I not feel sad when I have such a thought?
The saddest thing is Zhang Zuolin. This most loyal subordinate, the most important assistant who has been with him through thick and thin, the general, confidant and friend who made great contributions in the formation of the Feng army and the conquest of this country has left. Who else can Take his place? He caressed the corpse and cried bitterly for half an hour!
Sun Liechen had no family, so the Zhang family decided to give him the most solemn funeral in recognition of his lifelong contribution to the founding of the New Republic of China. Zhang Zuolin personally served as the director of the funeral committee and commemorated this important minister with standards far exceeding those of Sun Yat-sen's funeral.
He ordered all domestic party, government, military and parliamentary agencies, schools, enterprises, social groups, and foreign ministers and consulates to fly flags at half-mast during the funeral; a memorial meeting will be held in front of Tiananmen on the 8th; all agencies will stamp a blue seal This month; build a large-scale cemetery for Sun Liechen in his hometown to commemorate his contribution to the country.
The Kuomintang, which still has little power, expressed its disapproval: "Former Prime Minister Mr. Sun was only mourned for three days. Isn't the standard of Vice Chairman Sun's funeral too high?"
Wu Junsheng directly scolded him in Congress: "What a fool, Mr. Sun's achievements are made with bullets and bullets on the battlefield. He has never been a coward, and he has never blown it out of his mouth." He is the leader of the People's Party and the country, and Mr. Sun is just the prime minister of your party, can it be the same?"
" Death is a big deal, not to mention that today Sun Liechen's honor will be his, tomorrow Wu Junsheng - he is already sixty-four, which is considered an advanced age in the Republic of China. Not for Sun Liechen, but also for his own funeral, right? What's more, his relationship with Sun Liechen is not bad!
On the day of the memorial service, 24 members and alternate members of the Political Bureau of the People's Party collectively carried his coffin in full mourning. The Central Committee of the People's Party issued an obituary personally drafted by Zhang Hanqing, officially calling him "a time-tested patriot of justice, an outstanding leader of the party and the country, one of the founders of the People's Army, a great statesman and Military strategist", which is the coffin of his glorious life.
Among the countless memorial articles, Zhang Hanqing’s "Seven Rules" "In Memory of Comrade Sun Martyr Chen" is particularly brilliant:
"I remember when the grass was flying, the northwest, middle and south were always in conflict with each other.
Entering the customs is not an embarrassing day, fighting Mongolia is a big problem.
Every time I hear the eagle bully a big bird, the pheasant will laugh and the eagle will laugh.
"You have unfortunately passed away now. Who can you ask if you have any questions about the country?" "
According to official history, Sun Liechen worked hard all his life to strengthen the Fengxian clan. Although his consciousness may not be as high as he was evaluated, due to the existence of Zhang Hanqing, he spared no effort to help Zhang Hanqing, which can be regarded as indirectly making outstanding contributions to New China. This is incredible. deny the fact.
With the loss of Sun Liechen, even the joy of the Republic of China taking back the four British concessions of Hankou, Jiujiang, Zhenjiang and Xiamen on January 4 was diluted a lot.
Time passes little by little, and the career he left behind will continue. On February 2, the Third Congress of the People's Party opened grandly at the Beijing Capitol Building (borrowed), which built on the past and ushered in the future. Zhang Hanqing, Chairman of the Presidium of the Congress, led everyone to pay a last tribute to Sun Liechen.
In the subsequent ten-day election, 199 members of the Central Committee (this will become custom-made) and 99 alternate members were elected. Subsequently, the first meeting of the third Central Committee of the People's Party was held, and 24 members of the Political Bureau and 13 members of the Military Commission were elected, from which 7 members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and 6 secretariat secretaries were elected.
The newly elected members of the Politburo include: Gu Weijun, the former alternate member of the Politburo - there is no suspense about his selection; Wang Shuhan, the former Party Secretary of the Mongolian Autonomous Province who was transferred to Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee; Zhang Zhenjiu, who is responsible for finance; and Zhang Zhenjiu, who is responsible for UNESCO. Wei’s Yu Sixing, Beijing Provincial Party Committee Secretary Wang Shuchang, and Shanghai Provincial Party Committee Secretary Zhang Huilin.
During his five years as secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Wang Shuhan used various means to eliminate all the separatist forces in Mongolia, thus entering Zhang Hanqing's eyes; Zhang Zhenjiu and Yu Sixing are both popular candidates for the next deputy prime minister; Wang Shuchang is When he was the mayor of Tianjin, he was elected with tough tactics against the Japanese; Zhang Huilin was a rising financial expert in the Feng dynasty, and he was very targeted when he was sent to Shanghai, known as the financial capital.
Former Secretary-General of the State Council Yuan Jinkai retired from politics due to his age, and the membership of the Politburo was naturally suspended; as expected, the members of the Military Commission removed Yu Xuezhong and added Yang Jie, president of the National Defense University.
Liu Shangqing was elected as a member of the new Politburo Standing Committee and served as deputy prime minister in charge of industry and director of the Industrial Commission. He ranked second among the government's deputy prime ministers.
Wu Junsheng resigned from his position in the army as he wished and became chairman of the National Assembly full-time. However, his ranking in the party rose to third place, still above Zhang Zuoxiang.
There is also an episode, that is, Zhang Hanqing was almost elected as the Chairman of the Military Commission on a temporary motion after he continued to re-elect as Party Chairman. However, he had decided to let his father serve two terms, so after persuasion, Zhang Zuolin was still elected as Chairman of the Military Commission, while Zhang Hanqing was the Vice Chairman of the First Military Commission, and Zhang Zuoxiang concurrently served as the Commander-in-Chief of the People's Army Army as Vice Chairman of the Military Commission.
There have been no major changes in other personnel matters. Now that economic construction is the centerpiece, it is correct to seek stability.

Chapter 839 The Showa Discord
With the Chinese Senate officially approving Zhang Zuolin as concurrently serving as President of the country and Zhang Hanqing as concurrently serving as Vice President of the State, and all passing the names of the People’s Party in the government and the Military Commission, China, a strong and united country, is standing on top of Asia with a new attitude.
And Japan, across the sea, also carried out a transfer of power at the same time. The changes on both sides are eye-catching.
December 25, 1926 - the same day that Emperor Taisho died, Hirohito ascended the throne as the Emperor of Japan with three artifacts presented by Shikibu officials. He changed the name of Showa to the Yuan Dynasty based on the sentence "The common people are enlightened and all nations are harmonious" in "The Book of Documents". It marked the end of Japan's Taisho era, and also made the "clown" king that has troubled Japanese politics for many years become history.
The most famous Emperor Showa in modern Japan was born on April 29, 1901. He was one year younger than Zhang Hanqing’s stand-in Zhang Xueliang, so he was considered a younger brother. Shortly after his birth, he was sent to the residence of Vice Admiral Count Kawamura Junyoshi in accordance with the royal family's practice, and Kawamura was responsible for his education.
At the age of 7, he entered the Imperial Academy to receive formal education. The dean of the Academy was Army General Nogi Nogi Nogi who later died for Emperor Meiji. At the age of 13, after graduating from the elementary school of Gakushuin, he was promoted to the Donggiya Institute of Learning to continue his studies. There is no luxurious garden or comfortable life here. Hirohito gets up at 6 o'clock every morning, and then prays, runs, and studies.
He studied ethics, Mandarin, Chinese, history, geography, mathematics, natural history, physics and chemistry, French, calligraphy, legal system, economics, martial arts, equestrianism, etc. at the Institute of Learning. During this period of study, with the intervention of the court ministers, Hirohito became engaged to Ryoko, a low-level aristocratic woman from Satsuma Domain.
Since Yoshiko's father is Prince Higashi Kunihiko, who belongs to the Satsuma Domain, and he is a strong contender for power with Yamagata Aritomo, the elder of the Choshu Domain, the marriage was firmly opposed by Yamagata Aritomo. He used the excuse of Ryoko's mother's family. He has a history of color blindness and caused a so-called "color blindness storm" in an attempt to prevent the marriage of Hirohito and Ryoko.
In response to the objections of Yamagata Aritomo, the potential national relative Prince Azumaru joined forces with the Black Dragon Society and other underworld forces, and threatened to kill the whole family, so that Ryoko became Hirohito's queen. Even so, when Hirohito held his wedding with Ryoko on January 26, 1924, another bomb was thrown by a Korean at the wedding, but it did not explode.
This is not over yet. After Ryoko married Hirohito, they gave birth to 4 daughters. This aroused dissatisfaction among some politicians and fascist young soldiers, who believed that this was proof of Hirohito's lack of masculinity. Therefore, they tried every means to put pressure on the emperor, forcing him to take concubines, and even asked him to undergo in vitro fertilization experiments.
The young soldiers were also preparing to launch a coup to support Hirohito's younger brother to succeed. It was not until December 23, 1933, when Ryoko gave birth to Akihito, that this farce came to an end.
On March 3, 1921, Hirohito visited Europe in the name of the Crown Prince. He traveled to Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Italy, and experienced first-hand the free life outside the palace. The constraints in Japan, especially those from senior figures such as Aritomo Yamagata, made him feel the need to cultivate a group of fans of his own.
On October 27, in a hot spring hotel in "Baden-Baden" in southern Germany, Crown Prince Hirohito finally found his ideal person - Nagata Tetsuzan.
Nagata Tetsuzan was the leader of the controlling faction in the Japanese warlord group. He was known as the number one brain in the Japanese military. He was smarter than Kanji Ishihara, Japan's number one military strategist, and Ishihara was not even an order of magnitude worse than him.
Of course, Hirohito would not bet on a mere lieutenant colonel. Of course, the eloquent and talented Nagata Tetsuzan's idea still deeply affected him, so that he took a firm step in the subsequent conflict with China. Explore the "northward" path.
Two years ago, Nagata Tieshan met Ishihara Wanji and Zhang Hanqing, but it was not pleasant.
The Chinese people may remember the Anti-Japanese War most strongly from some "big-name" Class-A war criminals, such as Hideki Tojo, Seishiro Itagaki, Kenji Hara, etc., or Neji Okamura, Hisao Tani, who directly controlled the Nanjing Massacre, etc. . As everyone knows, the real driving force behind the scenes is Nagata.
Among Japan’s “talented” careerists in China, one must mention Nagata Tetsuzan and his Futaba Society.
It is the destiny of history for such talents to join the army.
The Nagata family has been practicing medicine for generations. His father worked as the director of a small hospital in his hometown of Suwa County and raised nine children. He had many index fingers and lived a hard life. He died of illness in middle age due to overwork. On his deathbed, he said to him: "Tetsuyama! You You must be an excellent soldier".
The Meiji government at that time strictly enforced centralization and sought to enrich the country and strengthen the military. The people's tax burden was extremely heavy and people generally lived in poverty. When the children in the countryside reached the middle school level, they could no longer study in liberal arts schools, so they had to go to school. Go to a military school with free tuition and a promising future to seek development. In addition, just after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the slogan "conquer Manchuria and Mongolia and fly to the mainland" was very tempting to young people who were looking forward to the future.
&nnbsp; Zhang Hanqing does not care about the change of Japanese government - Japanese politics is a famous revolving door. Whoever comes to power cannot theoretically change its essence. The key point is the veterans behind the scenes who play a decisive role. This conclusion holds true from pre-war to post-war and into the twenty-first century.
However, in 1926, a new personnel change in the Japanese military attracted his attention. The protagonist was Lieutenant Colonel Nagata Tetsuzan, who was regarded as inconspicuous by Chinese and foreign observers at the time except Zhang Hanqing. His position was the mobilization of the newly established Maintenance Bureau of the Ministry of War. Section chief, another inconspicuous position is the director of the Army Ministry of the "National General Mobilization Organ Preparation Committee".
This committee is in the same vein as the national mobilization plan promoted by Zhang Hanqing. They are invariably similar, which shows that the heroes have similar views. Chinese and Japanese historians later disputed who copied whom. However, the one that has done the best is undoubtedly China. This is something that both China and Japan have no doubt about.

Chapter 840 Sharpening the knife
??
After Emperor Hirohito ascended the throne, he had a fierce power collision with the military. The constraints of the military headed by the Choshu Domain forced Hirohito, who was filled with old and new hatreds, to vigorously cultivate his own power - mainly young people. The lower-level officers want to lead the military on behalf of the Choshu clan and turn the army into a real "locust army".
In the early Showa era, Japan's militaristic right-wing forces developed rapidly. Militants in the military ignored the government and insisted on expanding foreign aggression. Their main target was Northeast China.
During this period, because Emperor Hirohito, who had just come to power, focused mainly on controlling the military, Japanese militarism had many constraints. Overall, this group of militants was not as politically and diplomatically ready as it was later.
Nagata, who was trusted by Hirohito, took advantage of the emperor's control over the military. In Japan's gradually implemented national mobilization plan, Nagata's suggestions were not only adopted, but also the main promoter. Some of the practices were similar to those recommended by China's Zhang Hanqing. The actions are astonishingly consistent:
Japan has established a general mobilization system and added a "Maintenance Bureau" in the Army Ministry, which has jurisdiction over the two sections of "mobilization" and "control"; at the cabinet level, a new "National General Mobilization Organ Preparation Committee" has been established, with the Cabinet Legislative Affairs Bureau serving as the chairman concurrently. Each province recommends Appoint one member and one officer each. Nagata, as the officer representing the Army Ministry, actually presided over the work of the committee and led the planning of the general mobilization system.
With China as a reference, Nagata not only requires the rearmament of armaments, but also requires that politics, education, economy, and society be brought into the scope of general war, and a system of national general mobilization be established. This is consistent with China's current concept of people's war under the guidance of Zhang Hanqing. Different approaches but similar results.
However, Nagata catered to Hirohito's intentions, thereby overpowering the party politics that flaunted freedom and creating a militaristic country. At this point, the congenital shortcomings of a soldier born in Nagata were exposed-military is a continuation of politics rather than the opposite. Zhang Hanqing firmly grasped the degree.
In the field of ideology, in 1919, when Nagata was assigned to study ideological issues, he studied the general mobilization of the national spirit.
Due to his suggestions and planning, young and outstanding retired officers were successively placed as instructors in liberal arts schools to implement student military training; a "youth training center" was set up for young people in society; at the same time, in conjunction with the strengthening of the "Rural Soldiers Association" activities, Zhongjun The idea of ??patriotism and the consciousness of imperial theocracy are injected into all strata and corners of society to unite the national spirit and unify the national action.
Therefore, Ugaki Kazunari once boasted in his diary: "Whether it is peacetime or wartime, if 70 million compatriots rush to die under the control of the Supreme Being, I alone have generally touched more than 200,000 active-duty soldiers and 3 million The army of more than 10,000 soldiers in the countryside, 500,000 to 600,000 middle-level and upper-level students, and more than 10 million young people are enough to cope with it." This result was the famous "Imperial Civilization" movement in Japan.
Tanaka Giichi, the founder of the Rural Soldiers Association and soon to be Prime Minister, once proudly declared: "I have 3 million Rural Soldiers!"
His experience on the European frontline made Nagata realize the huge role of modernization of weapons and equipment: During the war, aircraft, submarines, tanks, giant cannons, light machine guns, and even poison gas became weapons on the European battlefield. Ten years ago, Japan The guns and artillery from the Russian war era have become completely useless; if Japan cannot implement the weapons revolution in time, it will not be able to survive in the world.
Prime Minister Tanaka also advocated the "industrial founding theory" that was closely related to the policy of invading China. He believed that Japan's "natural resources are extremely safe and its population growth rate is the highest in the world." Therefore, "the abundance of food and the security of industrial raw materials are really decisive." The great question of the fate of the empire.”
On this point, although the two did not come from the same school, they had the same opinion.
In 1924 and 2052, Nagata Tetsuyama, in his capacity as a senior lecturer (equivalent to deputy section chief) of the Military Affairs Section of the Army Ministry, was responsible for the review and coordination tasks of budget allocation, administrative support, etc. He once followed the instructions of Prime Minister Ugaki Kazunari and decided to reduce the standing troops of four divisions (reducing twenty-one divisions to seventeen), and used the saved personnel costs to develop aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery, etc. New weapons.
For example, the range of field artillery was extended from five or six kilometers to more than ten kilometers. At the same time, Nagata also advocated protecting the domestic automobile industry, promoting the development of heavy industry, and supporting the research of national defense technology; there was even a military doctor Ishii Shiro who was one of the most important figures in history. The establishment of a secret agency in Harbin, the "731 Unit", which used Chinese living people to test toxin weapons, was also strongly supported by Nagata.
There is nothing we can do about it. China has been rejuvenated under the leadership of the People's Party. According to Japanese intelligence personnel in China, the People's Army has armed at least eight heavy howitzer regiments, and vehicles have also begun to be equipped with artillery regiments and tanks at the division level. and aircraft have increased significantly.
If we don’t catch up, we will fall behind in the arms race with China.Risks in the future - in fact, in terms of army armaments, it has lagged far behind.
During the European War, the German army fired 20 million artillery shells at the Battle of Verdun, and the French army fired 34 million shells at the Battle of the Somme. On the other hand, the United States temporarily banned the export of steel to Japan because of the war against Germany.
These two situations made Nagata realize that in future wars, the supply of large amounts of coal, iron, and other strategic resources must be ensured; otherwise, not to mention the competition for Eastern hegemony, even the survival of the country cannot be guaranteed.
To this end, the Ministry of War specially set up the "Combat Material Preparation Conference" in 1921. Later, Nagata, who had just returned from Europe, served as the "officer" of the conference, and in 1926 he served as the "specialist" ” in an effort to address strategic resource needs.
However, Japan is an island country with poor resources. You cannot turn stones into "iron" and dig up soil into "coal". Many of the strategic resources it needs must be obtained from abroad. Therefore, Nagata is determined to promote national mobilization. Tieshan had long harbored the so-called fantasy of "establishing a Japanese-Manchurian economic bloc and becoming self-sufficient", and developed an aggressive consciousness that "the Manchu-Mongolian issue must be solved by force."
With their advanced military strategy, they realized that due to the gradual development of aviation, the Soviet air force deployed in the Vladivostok area has been able to directly bomb the Japanese mainland. Considering the understanding of air power by personnel in this era, the air force as a service is not only in China In addition to being recognized, all countries regard it as an auxiliary service of the army and navy. Nagata Tetsuzan's forward-looking vision is indeed worthy of admiration.
Therefore, they believe that Japan must capture Manchuria so that it can keep its troops outside the country when fighting Russia and preemptively destroy the Russian military power in the Far East. Japan lacks strategic resources and must obtain them from Manchuria. If Manchuria can be truly controlled, on the one hand, it can deter the Soviet Union from moving south, and on the other hand, it can increase pressure on China. Therefore, it must be "Japan's central national policy to resolve the Manchuria-Mongolia issue."
The solution is to "launch force."
This means that the peaceful situation between China and Japan for many years has the risk of changing into war. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 841 False Panzi and the People
??
Reducing military spending is understandable: military spending will inevitably affect financial reinvestment and is a natural enemy of economic development. Without the military, conquering Nanyang by force would naturally be an empty talk, and there would be no need to make such plans.
War and economic development are two ends of the same train. Unless, like the United States in later generations, it has allies as cannon fodder and huge post-war profits as motivation for war, no country that resorts to militarism will eventually be buckled by this.
With the weakening of one's own military strength, one must become friends with countries with strong military strength, such as the declining British Empire. If you want to compete with the strong, you must have equal strength. In the Western Pacific, no country has stronger naval power than Britain, France, and the United States, and it is imperative to keep pace with the strong.
Letting officials with civilian backgrounds serve as advisers to the emperor is a good move to break the influence of the royal family and nobles who monopolize the emperor's decision-making circle. They hope to change Japan's tradition of military dictatorship. But why did Emperor Taisho's concessions involve Hirohito? Even his education issue is used as a bargaining chip?
The royal family and nobles believed that the root cause of the "Taisho Coup" lay with the emperor, and that it was his laziness and lack of decision-making ability that led to the crisis of imperial power. Therefore, when Hirohito was only 70 days old, he was fostered in the home of a retired naval admiral and received a "bushido" education. He was then trained by teachers from a specialized "royal academy" with the purpose of creating a qualified autocratic monarch for the future. Imperial power can make a comeback.
The only good thing for China during this period was that Japan basically held a "non-interference" stance towards the development of Zhang Zuolin and his family in Northeast China - it was unable to interfere and had no clear political thinking. In addition, Zhang Hanqing and the people he controlled The conglomerates are inextricably linked to the chaebols behind various Japanese political parties. It can be said that the Feng Feng clique can develop faster and more violently because of the tacit approval of the Japanese chaebols who have benefited.
They all want to maintain the existing relationship - everyone makes money. Isn't it better to make money by being friendly than by fighting? Because of this, the still-insignificant Kwantung Army and the Japanese military could only watch helplessly as the old and young Zhangs gradually encroached on small and medium-sized forces and expanded their territory. When they found that the People's Army and the Feng faction were invincible, they could not start the war lightly.
During World War I, Japan’s national strength was not yet strong enough to compete with the great powers. However, Japan was still eager to join the club of great powers without overestimating its capabilities, even if it had a reputation of being militaristic.
Representatively, by the end of World War I, the total number of standing divisions of the Japanese Army had expanded to 21, and the Navy was also carrying out the "Eighty-Eight Fleet" plan, which had exceeded the limits that Japan, a de facto small country, could afford. .
According to the famous saying of Soros, the international financial tycoon of later generations: "A declining superpower that has lost its political and economic dominance still has absolute military superiority is a dangerous mixture." Losing its absolute economic advantage over China Japan, which is excluded from emerging countries such as the United States in terms of status and politics, is in danger. Japan's historical and traditional military interference in politics may bring the country to the brink of collapse.
Especially China, which was once defeated by its subordinates, turned over like a prairie fire from all sides and established a strong government in the ruins. Under the leadership of the People's Party, the new government of the Republic of China has brought China's politics and economy, which had been dormant for many years, to a very glorious height. Starting from the reform in Fengtian, it has triumphed all the way, making ancient China rejuvenated.
Starting from 1923, when the government's disposable finances were flat, in just one year, China's disposable finances, including the poor provinces in southwest China, were close to 1.5 times that of Japan; in 1925, they reached 1.76 times, and by the end of 1926, they reached more than twice .
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????… Based on this solid military industry foundation, the Chinese People's Army is unprecedentedly powerful.
Various sources indicate that the Chinese People's Army has regarded the Imperial Japanese Army as its imaginary enemy, keeping pace with the enemy in terms of numbers and catching up in terms of equipment.
According to Zhang Hanqing's plan at the beginning of the year, starting from 1927, the plan to increase firepower was first completed in the five main armies: combat defense artillery was transferred to the company, and a double-squad artillery platoon with 4 combat defense artillery was added at the company level; the plan was cancelled. The battle defense artillery battery of the infantry regiment was changed to a 75mm field artillery battery with certain attack capabilities;
Gradually add an anti-aircraft artillery regiment to each infantry division to make up for the weakness of the air force and prepare for the future development of the world's air force; the military artillery regiments of each army will be equipped with 125mm heavy howitzers——already The army equipped with about 10 105mm howitzer regiments will all be re-equipped at the end.
This is taking into account the development trend of 125mm and the willfulness of car towing.
In this way, a division of the People's Army will have 54 howitzers, 18 field guns, and 81 60mm mortars, so as to fight against the Japanese??As subjects of the Emperor All this begins with the annexation of China. "How great is the ambition of this sea snake? It not only wants to swallow China, but also the world, and takes all the wealth in the world as its own!
Is this a personal fanaticism? The Japanese believe that this is the highest interest of the entire Japanese nation. Otherwise, how can war criminals enjoy the Yasukuni Shrine amid global condemnation?
“But the Japanese are also born politicians, shameless and powerful. From top to bottom, no one has ever spoken out about the benefits that this kind of plunder has brought to Japan. Instead, they have mostly promoted the advantages of Japan's national character, as if its economic take-off fell from the sky overnight. As the saying goes, heroes do not care about their origins, and history is written by the victors.
For example, Shigeru Yoshida, Japan's most famous post-war Prime Minister in history, wrote "A Hundred Years of Turbulence" in passionate language in his later years. In the book, he vividly summarized how the Japanese nation overcame difficulties, had a far-sighted vision, and was brave and enterprising. , good at learning and pursuing perfection.
He said that the Japanese nation "has a professional spirit that strives for perfection. Unless you do nothing, you must do your best in whatever you do. This is deeply rooted in the blood of the Japanese nation. This is the result of Japan's Meiji Restoration and post-war economic miracle. , the main reason why China has become the world’s second most powerful economic power.”

Chapter 843 Tanaka Memorial
The torrent of history has entered 1927, and the time in official history when Japan invaded China is getting closer.
In March, a financial crisis occurred in Japan. Bank closures, production stagnation, and corporate failures are becoming increasingly serious. Japanese Prime Minister Wakashi and Foreign Minister Kijuro Shitahara's China policies are being questioned. Various forces in Japan, represented by Seiyukai and others, accused it of "weak diplomacy" and clamored for a tough policy against China. Prime Minister Ugaki Kazushige even advocated military intervention, but for the time being, he remained in a tentative tendency:
"The concession at this stage not only caused the empire to lose its economic dominance in the Chinese customs market, but also ruined our many years of efforts in Manchuria and Mongolia. Although the Chinese army appears to be large in number, what is its combat effectiveness? Do you know?" The important events of the Ching Dynasty were like child's play in his eyes. That was how the two wars against the Soviet Union came about.
A month later, Tanaka Yoshi, president of the Political Friendship Association, formed a cabinet and also served as foreign minister. He is the direct successor of Japan's Choshu warlords. He has served as deputy chief of staff and minister of war, and is a figure supported by militarism. His formation of the cabinet caused Japan's policy toward China to take a sharp turn.
The reason for this transformation is that at the beginning of the year, the Chinese government took back the Shanghai Public Settlement "Huijing Gongshe" and changed it into the Shanghai Overseas Provisional Court (later renamed the Special Administrative Region Court under Zhang Hanqing's creativity); the United Kingdom also submitted a request to China in accordance with the peace treaty. Four concessions including Hankou and Jiujiang were handed over. Although it makes the Chinese people happy, it also makes the British government, which has lost its dignity and wealth, very unhappy.
The Japanese believed that China’s move was tantamount to offending Britain, the United States, and France at the same time, and they had the idea of ????taking the opportunity to attack China.
In April, Tanaka Yoshiichi formed the Seiyukai Cabinet, and he concurrently served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Tanaka changed his diplomatic policy towards China to a positive one. In June, he convened the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, military personnel, ministers to China, and consuls general at the Foreign Minister's residence in Tokyo to hold a meeting to discuss China policy, which was called the Eastern Conference.
Participants at that time included Parliamentary Secretary for Foreign Affairs Mori Ke, the Ambassador to China, the President of the South Manchuria Railway, and others. Among them were the former Consul General in Liaoning, Shigeru Yoshida, who became the Prime Minister after the war, and the Secretary-General of the Cabinet, Ichiro Hatoyama.
Parliamentary Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs Sen Ke was the actual leader of the conference. He was the so-called "hardliner on Manchuria and Mongolia policies" and conspired to separate China's three eastern provinces from China. This conference issued the "Policy Program for Supporting (China)" on July 7, advocating turning Northeast China as a special region into a paradise for Japanese colonists:
"As for Manchuria and Mongolia, especially the three eastern provinces, because they have particularly important interests in our country's national defense and national survival, our country must not only give special care, but also maintain peace in the area and develop the economy so that it can Become a safe place for people inside and outside the country to live in." It stated that it would work hard to "implement the Japan-China Economic Alliance, maintain the special status of Manchuria and Mongolia, devote all its efforts to diplomacy with China, and pay unremitting attention to the governance of Manchuria and Mongolia's special regions."
After a month of deliberation, on August 16, he convened diplomatic and military personnel stationed in Northeast China to hold the Dalian Conference to discuss issues undecided by the Eastern Conference. A few days after the Dalian Conference, Tanaka submitted a memorial to Emperor Showa, stating that Japan would change its "coordinated diplomacy" toward China into a proactive Manchuria-Mongolia policy.
This "Active Policy for Manchuria and Mongolia", which is full of plans for aggression, mainly expounds the principles and policies for invading China. Later generations called it the "Tanaka Memorial".
The memorial proposed that Japan's general strategy of "New World Policy" is: "If you want to conquer China (referring to China), you must first conquer Manchuria and Mongolia. If you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer China." After Japan obtains China's resources, "it can then conquer India." , Nanyang Islands, Asia and Central Asia and even Europe." "When the Yamato nation shows its strength on the Asian continent, it is the first key to control the power of Manchu and Mongolia."
Historically, the "Tanaka Memorial" was translated into English in 1934. The United States often used this as the reason for hostility to Japan during World War II. In 1930, Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs protested to the Chinese National Government, saying that the Tanaka Memorial was a forgery. After World War II, the Allies did not find the original Tanaka Memorial, which became a reason to prove that the Tanaka Memorial was a forgery.
Some historical researchers believe that the Tanaka Memorial was forged by the Soviet intelligence agency. The purpose was to lure Japan's "southern advance" to attack Southeast Asia and curb Japan's "northward advance" of military forces from attacking the Soviet Union, thereby alleviating the pressure on the Soviet Union to fight on both sides.
Zhang Hanqing would rather believe that it exists than that it does not exist. In his opinion, Japan destroyed a large amount of evidence before surrendering. Judging from this behavior, the possibility of destroying this evidence does not rule out, and Japan's subsequent strategic behavior is very similar to what was described in the "Tanaka Memorial".
Seeing that the balance of power between China and Japan has turned against them, the arrogant Japanese soldiers and politicians are unwilling to voluntarily withdraw from the stage of controlling China. They dare not openly declare war on China at this time, but provocation is inevitable.
Historically, the Kwantung Army Headquarters formulated a "Manchu-Mongolian issue settlement plan" for this purpose."", clearly stated: "Using the changes in the political situation in China to implement a certain strategy in the four northeastern provinces, creating an opportunity to use force as an excuse." "The so-called strategy has four goals:
Inner Mongolia|Independence case;
Jiandao (Yanbian) independence case;
Northern Manchuria (Harbin) Harassment Case;
The case of arranging the Japanese riots.
The Japanese plan is that any case that becomes fermented can become an excuse to use force to force China and invade China. But the plan was correct, but it was not easy to execute.
Time has passed, and China is no longer the lamb to be slaughtered. After Outer Mongolia was completely conquered by Zhang Hanqing, the northern border has been stabilized, and Inner Mongolia has been divided into three: Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan. The traditional Mongolian upper class power has been greatly reduced, and the old hooded people who have been deprived of political power have no chance as the herdsmen are loyal to the People's Party | Government.
"Using the riots of the Korean people to stir up trouble has failed once, and it failed miserably. This happened in Huichun.
Under Zhang Hanqing’s tough counterattack, not only many Koreans who took the lead died, but the Japanese police also suffered heavy losses. After that, the Chinese government introduced many policies to control Koreans, which generally included docile people and suppressed the mob, showing its determination that sovereignty and territory should not be violated.
The Harbin riot also seems to be unworkable. The Fengjun's control over North Manchuria a few years ago is no longer something that the Japanese can interfere with again. A riot without armed participation will undoubtedly lead to death if a strong counterattack is foreseen.
"And Harbin is no longer what it was ten years ago. The floating White Russians and other foreign populations have been effectively managed. It is also the rear area of ??the Northeast. It is very difficult to intervene here.
Even on both sides of the South Manchuria Railway, which is actually controlled by Japan, Japanese forces are limited to 1 kilometer east and west of the railway, and the forces north of Changchun have been completely driven out. So-called riots without support can only be the object of people's dictatorship and cannot stir up big waves.
So, there was Dr. Shuming Okawa, who planned to assassinate several Japanese ronin selling duck slices in the Northeast, and planned to provoke conflict; there was also a lawyer Nakano Koichi, who planned to blow up the Liaoyang Iron Bridgemany conspiracies and tricks, Ishihara Wanji didn't take it seriously. Historically, he followed his own plan and blew up two sections of the South Manchuria Railway near Liutiaogou, creating the "September 18th Incident".
However, the strength of the Kwantung Army in the Northeast is too weak after all. If the Northeast People's Army rises up to attack, this army will be like hitting an egg with an egg against a stone. Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted. In the official history, only a few masterminds, No. 100, took risks and succeeded by luck. , that’s because of China’s civil war and internal strife and unstable border defenses; now the situation is different and there are more things to worry about, so the thinking is more complicated.
From the day when the Fengtian clique became powerful, the Northeast had not given Japan a good look: from the time when the Fengcian clique participated in the Zhijiang-Anhui War, to Zhang Ciqing's national declaration against Japan in 1922, and the handling of the "May 30th Massacre" not long ago, Zhang Zuolin's political |The government's attitude towards Japan is very tough.
Unified China had even stricter restraints on the Japanese troops in the Northeast, and its defenses were also "thorough": not only had the Shenyang Military Region been set up, but the 29th Army, one of the five most elite main forces of the People's Army, was stationed in Shenyang, and another army was buried in the Northeast. The hundreds of thousands of troops from the "Beidahuang" Construction Corps will be deployed as an important source of troops for the future war against Japan; in addition, there are armed police from three provinces and three border armed police divisions.
After World War I, Japan also implemented military reforms. In terms of army construction, Japan also wants to concentrate its efforts on mechanization and improve the army's mobile combat capabilities.
However, in view of the inherent disadvantages of its resources and national power base, and the fact that it is impossible for it to predictably avoid twists and turns in China's development like Zhang Hanqing, and it does not have a strategic master to overall coordinate the national economy. , so its development speed is far worse than that of China.
" Moreover, unlike China, which has focused on developing its army from poverty, it also wants to keep pace with the British and American powers in its navy. Therefore, it is inevitable that its investment in the army is far less than that of China. Basically, its military forces in Kanto State, including its domestic army, have not seen much updates in nearly a decade.
"Compared with the People's Army, which is developing rapidly, this is not enough.
In terms of strength, the Northeast People's Army has far surpassed the Japanese Kwantung Army in both quantity and quality, and this is still on the surface. In fact, those projects and plans that are being brewed are the nightmare of all opposition forces. As long as the Chinese government is determined and has the courage to launch a national-level war, its army can eat up the entire Japanese army in seconds.
Zhang Hanqing is also waiting or trying to delay the Japanese army from launching this war first: for him, one more day of peace means more chances of winning.
Of course, when the time is right (strong enough), he will also stir up trouble first - since he is destined to have a war in East Asia that will determine the rise of China, then let's fight it until the sky is dark and Japan is convinced. Show the dignity of the Chinese nation!
But now, he still has to guard against Japan’s tactics of division and provocation. It is difficult to guard against domestic thieves if you have the Tao. China has always had no shortage of traitors, even in the era of smart people like Zhang Hanqing.

Chapter 844 Sharp Contrast
This year, Japan experienced an unprecedented financial crisis, and banks went bankrupt due to runs. Finance Minister Takahashi Korekiyo issued an emergency order, announcing that banks across the country would suspend currency exchange for three weeks, and the Bank of Japan would issue 2.2 billion yen in extraordinary loans to major banks, and the government would provide a subsidy of 700 million yen to help monopolize finance. Capital has weathered the storm.
Finally, the government revised the Banking Law, raising the capital threshold for opening banks to 1 million yen, forcing the acceleration of the integration of the banking industry, causing a large number of small and medium-sized banks to go bankrupt or be annexed by large banks during the financial crisis, while Mitsui The five major banks such as Bank of Japan and Mitsubishi took advantage of the opportunity and grew rapidly, with their total capital reaching 1/3 of the total capital of the Bank of Japan.
The monopoly capitalists relied on the power of the government to form a financial oligarchy, which became a "blessing in disguise" during the financial crisis and continued to grow. This is reminiscent of the 2007 U.S. financial crisis, when the U.S. government spared no effort to save several "too big to fail" banks, including Goldman Sachs.
But, you can’t always rely on government relief to tide over the difficulties, right? The government also points to these banking companies to open up new paths for the country. From 1920 to 1921, 1923, and this time, Japan had three economic crises in seven years in the 1920s, which made Japan's knowledgeable people worried. Compared with the prosperity of China's economy, what will happen if things continue like this?
You must know that China's GDP was already higher than Japan's, even in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China when people were struggling to make ends meet.
The reason why the world thinks that China is weak or that the great powers are free to bully China is because the huge production is consumed by the huge population, and there are few things that can be truly exchanged. In political economy, they are called commodities. . Coupled with the backwardness of China's modern transportation, basically one place versus one country in every direction, how can it be undefeated?
However, when the People's Party vigorously promotes the development of modern industry and modern transportation, especially the rapid development of new things such as machinery and electronics that can increase efficiency tenfold or a hundredfold, it will be able to effectively improve the results of workers and farmers in a short period of time. One order of magnitude.
The accumulation of industrial products increased on a geometric basis, especially in the early days, when several three-year plans revived China.
Once the rolling traffic moves, this accelerated development trend is inevitable. The "Planning Commission" established by the People's Party can use the power of the state to coordinate and guide the orderly development of various industries, making it less likely to make mistakes in its direction. In this way, fiscal revenue will be the same as Japan's in the first year, more than half of it in the next year, and it will be at the same level again in the next year, doubling in three years.
This does not take into account the fact that many long-term investments cannot be converted into output value within a few years. For example, railways, large-scale water conservancy projects, research institutes and universities, etc., it will take several years, ten years, or decades for their achievements to be truly beneficial to the people.
At this moment, at that moment, China’s power has gradually emerged on the international stage.
Taking stock of 1927, careful foreign observers, especially Japanese "China experts", gradually understood the fact that China's rise in Asia was no longer dependent on will, although she had been keeping a low profile and focusing on construction since reunification.
Politically, the government headed by Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing has firmly controlled the situation. At the central and local levels, no force, no organization, no group, no one can threaten the authority of the Zhang family and his son. At the same time, the People's Party has taken root in various places and received heartfelt support in a series of events. The number of members of the People's Party has exploded to 5 million, and this momentum is still accelerating.
The Kuomintang, which was originally able to compete with the People's Party in Congress, was severely weakened by a qualification review and was completely defeated in Congress. And without a ruling foundation, its chances of making a comeback in the political arena are getting slimmer and slimmer.
Because a series of wrong policies led to a great rout within the party, Wang Jingwei could no longer raise his head. At the plenum of the Kuomintang Central Committee held shortly afterwards, Hu Hanmin was elected as the chairman of the Kuomintang with a high vote, Liao Zhongkai served as the first vice chairman, and Kong Xiangxi was a dark horse and successfully served as the second vice chairman of the party. .
Next, it depends on how the People’s Party divides itself and defeats the party one by one. In fact, even if the People's Party does not move it, it will be difficult for it to continue to exert influence.
Economically, the country is prosperous, and everyone from top to bottom is engaged in construction, industry, railways, and water conservancy projects. Ancient China is exuding new vitality. Many foreign observers call this phenomenon "Chinese-style American speed," which is intended to refer to the United States. Great development during the 1880-1890 period.
After this period of accumulation, China's economic aggregate has exceeded Japan's three times, and its fiscal revenue that year reached a new high of 4.3 billion yuan, more than twice Japan's during the same period; the proportion of modern industry in the gross national product has reached 4%, together with Modern commerce, modern transportation industry, total proportionIt has exceeded Japan by about 1%.
Don’t underestimate this 1%. It expresses a very clear signal: China’s economy has surpassed Japan not only in terms of total volume, but also in terms of the total industrial and commercial volume that reflects the country’s strength. If there were a ranking of comprehensive national strength at this time, China would be ranked ahead of Japan. Observers from Europe and the United States were stunned to see the rapid development of China and the high degree of coordination in the development of various industries.
The only shortcoming is that as early as 1918, Japan's industrial output value rose to 56.8%, while agricultural output dropped to 35.1%. Japan has transformed from an agricultural country to an industrial country. However, in terms of the proportion of light and heavy industries within the industrial sector, light industry still occupies a dominant position.
Due to the development of shipbuilding, machinery, chemicals and other industries, the proportion of heavy and chemical industries is also increasing. As for China, due to its long-term backwardness, industrial production accounts for less than 10% of the national economy, and it is still a backward agricultural country.
However, in terms of the steel industry, energy industry, and basic agriculture that reflect the industrial potential, China is much higher than Japan: with China's rich iron ore resources, China's steel output continues to widen the gap with Japan, reaching 357 10,000 tons, more than four times the 853,000 tons produced by Japan in the same period, and also exceeding the output of France, a major European country, during the same period.
With the help of the Soviet Union, various synthetic steel companies have sprung up, which has brought the quality of China's steel to a higher level. In addition, China's coal seems to be inexhaustible, and large coal mines have been "discovered" one after another in Shanxi. This gives China sufficient power to support it and makes Japan, across the sea, salivate.
In terms of diplomacy and national strategy, Zhang Hanqing led the country on a smooth path to rapid development with a sensitivity far beyond that of politicians from other countries at the same time. He insisted on his consistent position, that is, to stay away from Britain and France, to be friendly with the Soviet Union and Germany, and to move closer to the United States.
Although the U.S. military has not yet reached the pinnacle it later reached, Zhang Hanqing believes that with its strong industrial strength, as long as the U.S. is willing and in accordance with historical development, it will be a matter of time for the United States to win the crown.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Efforts will eventually be rewarded. After years of hard work, the United States has finally come to believe that in Asia, China is a natural and good "neighbor" of the United States that has no hostile relations and is committed to creating a good atmosphere. China is far more comparable to Japan, which is bent on expanding in Asia. Even if it is not an ally, it is far more powerful than Japan. It will also be an important assistant in the future.
Therefore, China turned a blind eye to the “collusion” between China and Germany in the military industry, and did not make the US factor a possible stepping stone in the rise of China’s military.
In terms of military affairs, Zhang Hanqing took advantage of the fact that mainland China had no internal enemies and established good relations with the Soviet Union in the north. The British-occupied colonies in India and Myanmar in the southwest, and French Vietnam and Laos in Southeast Asia were all easing conflicts. Japan was in a It is a good time for peace during the chaotic period of China policy. It wisely "responded to the call of the West", refined its troops and reduced its administration, and achieved good results.
At the end of the campaign in the southwest region, all 36 armies of the Army were decisively restructured and reduced. In addition to focusing on the development of the five main armies, the remaining 31 armies have been significantly reduced.
Like Germany, each army retains its backbone and only retains a partial quota of 2 divisions (the numbers are retained, and the rest are converted into reserves), in order to achieve the purpose of using limited military expenditures to enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops and save costs to support national economic construction.
Of course, most of the troops that have been reduced are soldiers from various warlord factions who have been reorganized or surrendered before - Zhang Hanqing still has the shadow of the faction in his heart - borrowing Mao Zedong's famous saying, the so-called "There is no party outside the party. The idea of ??an emperor, the lack of factions in the party, and all kinds of strange things” are no longer a boast.
Now, due to changes in Japan, especially to defend a country as big as China, it is necessary to appropriately increase national defense capabilities. Under Zhang Hanqing's decision, the Chinese Army once again conducted full recruitment after three years.
According to the arrangements of the General Mobilization Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, the provincial defense mobilization departments, municipal defense mobilization bureaus, and county military service bureaus have begun large-scale recruitment of new soldiers. The new batch of soldiers, due to strict selection, are of higher quality and do not have the same factional views as before, so they are also more loyal.
With the country's financial situation rising steadily, three consecutive years of military investment have finally borne fruit: the existing 144 corps and division artillery regiments of the People's Army have achieved vehicle towing, that is, preliminary motorization.
As a mechanized automobile, Tianjin Dodge Automobile Factory has developed into a large automobile factory with an annual output of hundreds of thousands, but demand still exceeds supply. New automobile factories built in Wuhan, Guangzhou, Jilin, Chongqing and other places have been put into production one after another to meet the growing demand. In this regard, Zhang Hanqing's thoughts left Japan far behind.
It is a huge difference compared to the fact that Japan is still using mules and horses. Since Japan relies on the sea to rejuvenate its country, in order to effectively build a large fleet that can compete with Britain and the United States in the Pacific, the cost is that the entire country's military industry is tilted towards the navy, which makes the army no longer There are also insufficient resources allocated. This also made Japan a first-rate navy and a third-rate army in the history of World War II.
Strictly speaking, it is actually considered third-rate and a half: until World War II, the Japanese Army still used the number of horses to distinguish divisions A, B, C, and D, and gave priority to ensuring the supply of horses for the main force, that is, division A. In the use of new artillery, it has been delayed because it requires more horses to be towed. The reason is that it is too heavy and requires too many horses! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Not enough resources are allocated. This also made Japan a first-rate navy and a third-rate army in the history of World War II.

??
In contrast, Zhang Hanqing attaches great importance to the towability of heavy artillery.
In modern warfare, the caliber of artillery is getting larger and larger, and the tonnage is getting larger and larger. Artillery cannot provide effective support at all by manpower, and it will also drag down the progress of the army. Historically, a 75mm field gun in the Japanese artillery formation would be assigned 12 horses for hauling related artillery equipment, and the artillery was assigned 6 horses.
This kind of towing force was still usable before and after World War I, but the towing force of 6 horses was determined to be unbearable in the test of the improved Type 38 field gun. Later, the newer and heavier Type 90 field gun was unable to bear the load. The request cannot be met.
This is the 75mm caliber!
Although the artillery force once proposed increasing the number of military horses to adapt to the development of heavier artillery in the future, the level involved was too broad and was rejected by senior officials - Japan, including Manchuria and Korea, could not obtain so many horses.
The logistical pressure is also obvious. In addition to people eating, there are also horses chewing, which is a large number comparable to human heads. In addition, managing these animals is much more difficult than training a few people. It also requires more manpower, so that the already strenuous logistics needs to take care of these redundant soldiers
??This is a big expense.
The artillery units cannot be replaced by the Type 90 due to unsupportable logistics. Although mechanization can effectively cure the root cause, Japan's poor vehicle industry prevents large-scale distribution of tractors.
As a result of this lack of logistics, the Japanese artillery force was not very willing to use the non-mechanized Type 90 field gun. In the end, only a small amount of more than 100 pieces were purchased. It was not until the simplified Type 95 field gun and the mechanized towing method appeared that the Japanese artillery force began to carry out the project. Purchase in small quantities.
This is a typical outcome of military violence. It is true that modern wars are fought on industry.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing pays great attention to synchronizing the production of weapons with the industrial level, and tilts it towards dual-use industries as much as possible. Simply towed, an artillery regiment requires about a hundred vehicles, because the downsized artillery regiment only has a quota of 1,434 people. In this way, the army's provision of 15,000 trucks is barely enough.
The current annual output of Tianjin Dodge Automobile Factory has reached 200,000 vehicles. With just a few purchases, you can maintain this minimum demand.
??—This is already an amazing miracle!
Therefore, the standard Chinese army is compared with that of European and American powers. China's military modernization pace also has bright spots: while the army artillery is transforming to motorization, even Western countries did not start to evolve the howitzer from horse towing to truck or to 1930. Half-track towing.
In terms of industrial blood oil, Yumen Oilfield has been producing oil for two years, and its output jumped from the initial 8,000 tons to the current 100,000 tons in only two years.
This production capacity is not enough to consume the tractors produced in Northeast China, but it is of great significance considering that it is the first oil well in the Republic of China and has trained a large number of oil exploration talents for New China.
The China National Petroleum Corporation, invested and established by several major banks, is working hard in the northwest. In addition to increasing the production capacity of Yumen, it has now explored the first well in the Karamay Oil Field. It will not be long before it can meet the demand for oil that is far from being popularized in China's modern industry. question.
Because the military industry is money-burning from any perspective. In the very stingy consciousness of the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense, in the process of rapid modern military development, building redundant firepower is a huge waste. Therefore, after the entire army equipped all artillery regiments in mid-1925, it immediately stopped the production of 75mm mountain guns and put part of its production capacity on field guns of the same caliber that were more focused on attacking tough tasks.
Because the infantry regiments of the People's Army are all equipped with one such field artillery company, except for the field artillery originally equipped in the divisional artillery regiments that were all transferred to the regiments, the number is still partially insufficient.
Even the 105mm howitzer was quickly discontinued because the internationally mainstream 125mm howitzer production line was introduced from Germany. In Zhang Hanqing's mind, it has not yet reached the stage of large-scale war. It is enough to maintain a certain number of superior artillery and ensure its production capacity.
The People's Army takes small steps and runs quickly, striving to keep pace with the world in a small amount of military industry while tapping the potential of existing equipment to train officers and soldiers. With the current strength of the army, as long as the military literacy of the officers and soldiers is tempered, there is no need to fear the Japanese.
“ Moreover, with China’s current design capabilities and manufacturing levels, it is really not appropriate to develop artillery everywhere. The correct answer is to select artillery that meets future needs and strive to continuously improve it in practice.
For example, in World War I, France had 13 types of mortars alone, which is not the goal of China's military industry development. Comparing it, there are three heavy models: 370, 270, and 240mm, four medium models: 150, 120, 86, and 81mm, and six light models: 75, 70, 65, 60, 58, and 50mm. It can be seen that weapons with such different specifications are very difficult for logistics. The pressure is so great
The events of World War IIThe destructive power of the 152mm gun is different. Take the British Navy's artillery shells in the 1930s as an example. The weight ratio between the two is 113.4 kilograms vs. 45.4 kilograms, which is quite a difference.
When the automatic loader fails, the 152mm shells can be loaded manually, but not the 203mm shells. Given the mechanical level of this era, it is highly likely that the automatic loader will malfunction and be damaged during wartime. Is it possible that a main gun will be scrapped because of this?
In addition, although the 203mm gun has a power advantage, its rate of fire is relatively low, only 2.5 rounds per minute, while the 152mm gun has 6 rounds per minute. In terms of ammunition projection weight, a warship equipped with eight 203mm cannons has a launch weight of 2,268 kilograms in one minute, while a warship equipped with 12 152mm cannons has a launch weight of 3,269 kilograms in one minute. The 152mm cannon has an advantage.
The higher rate of fire can make up for the lack of range power, especially in bad weather conditions or at night, this advantage is even more obvious. Not only that, the 152mm gun at the time had a longer range than the 203mm gun.
In terms of protection, heavily protected cruisers can withstand 203 mm and 152 mm artillery shells, but no one can stop cruisers with weakened protection. The 25.4mm armor of the Kent class was as thin as a layer of paper in front of heavy artillery. Therefore, the 152mm gun is not at a disadvantage compared to the 203mm gun. After all, everyone is finished with one shot.
In fact, during World War II, most artillery battles between cruisers were close combats at night. Considering the level of fire control in this era, the hit rate of firing beyond 30 kilometers is very low, and the hit rate of long-range artillery battles is basically zero. It is more effective to increase the firing rate at the main engagement distance. Long-distance naval battles in this era were more of a matter of luck.
Naturally, the more shells sent at the same time, the greater the probability of hitting the opponent. Therefore, the comparison of the range of the two caliber artillery has only theoretical significance, and the ammunition projection capability is the key.
The most important point is that Zhang Hanqing’s focus for the development of the navy will be on aircraft carriers. Cruisers equipped with a certain amount of firepower are only intended to effectively protect the safety of the aircraft carrier fleet in small-scale naval battles.
The cannons that can threaten cruisers with thin armor are the same, 203mm and 152mm. When facing a battleship or heavy cruiser equipped with large-caliber guns, even a cruiser equipped with a 203mm gun cannot effectively threaten it. Is it possible that this is the reason? The backward path of "giant ships and artillery"?
no! Since it has been decided that the future of the Navy will be a major change centered on aircraft carriers, we must unswervingly eliminate noise and not be changed by temporary troubles. Labor pains are bound to exist, but the general trend is not dependent on human will. In the era when you have the greatest opportunity to draw the most gorgeous pictures on this white paper, you must strengthen your confidence!
“ In this way, the 203mm naval gun will be useless, and in terms of development difficulty and manufacturing cost, it is far larger and more expensive than the 152mm. Therefore, the caliber of the naval gun to be developed by the People's Navy in the near future has been roughly determined. As for whether to use this large-caliber naval gun as naval support for landing operations in the future, is it too far-fetched?
Of course, based on the same principle of land and sea use, Zhang Hanqing will not choose a 152mm caliber naval gun, but will directly use a 155mm land gun on the ship.
This advantage is that the navy can directly enjoy the existing achievements of the army, and it can also lay the foundation for future ammunition sharing among the three services. It’s not that other countries can’t do it, but when various models of stuff develop into series, it’s not that easy to change them.
On the contrary, in China, a blank piece of paper is easy to draw on, and systematic integration can be carried out from the beginning. Zhang Hanqing was not willing to play with them. The huge China can form its own system in this magnificent era.
The reason for the emergence of two cannons with almost the same caliber is only due to historical reasons: the change from the poundage system to the inch system, the contribution of the United Kingdom. This means whoever builds an industrial society first will have the right to set standards. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 846 China has risen
??
In addition to cannons, Zhang Hanqing also prioritized the development of tanks that will surely amaze the military. This war monster invented during World War I was not taken seriously until ten years later, and large-scale research on its tactics began. Based on the information obtained in his previous life, Zhang Hanqing was unique in the training and use of tanks: concentration.
The T-20 tank has been modified and developed many times and has been put into mass production. From the initial battalion-level establishment of 30 tanks, it has grown to a huge number of 300 tanks. Because this is Zhang Hanqing's "private property", Zhang Hanqing has the right to decide on its use and organization.
Zhang Hanqing organized this huge armored force into an armored division and named it a resounding designation: the First Armored Division.
Wang Wen, who was adept at attacking, was promoted to division commander. The captain of the cavalry company who played the first role when the Guards brigade was formed has grown into a senior official who can take charge of his own role after several years of training.
His resume in the military is also very strange: cavalry company commander, cavalry regiment commander, infantry regiment commander, infantry brigade commander, infantry division commander, and now armored division commander, every rank has been a full-time job, becoming a legend in the People's Army.
The 1st Armored Division is separated from the establishment of the eight military regions in order to facilitate centralized use. It is given special attention as a strategic reserve force of the Central Military Commission and strives to expand the scale of this force.
Although Zhang Zuolin and other old-style soldiers had doubts about the combat capabilities of tanks, because the country's industrial and economic power could support such investment, and the young marshal's various whimsical ideas emerged one after another and yielded many results, they did not interfere much. .
This was a very important factor in the early stages of tank development: the armored force, represented by tanks, first appeared during World War I. At that time, the armored force only existed as an auxiliary force. Even by the early 1930s, the military idea of ??combining tanks with infantry was still taking root in the minds of most military theorists.
Only the German armored combat expert Guderian, the British military theorist Fuller, and the Soviet Union's Zhukov were active advocates of the combat idea of ??forming a large-scale armored mechanized army and using armored forces as an independent force to fight. And put his own armored combat ideas into actual combat. It also created their outstanding achievements in the history of war.
Zhang Hanqing will not go back to the old path that they have gained through more than ten years of understanding and bloody lessons. To borrow a sentence from the British military theorist Fuller: "Since tanks can move faster than infantry, in order to seize the initiative when war breaks out, it is necessary to maintain enough mechanized troops in peacetime to prepare for rapid mobilization in war. … Combining tanks with infantry is like coupling tractors with horses. Asking them to operate in coordination with artillery is ludicrous.”
With the dignity of a young commander, he personally built this steel force, and worked hard to teach the armored combat theory to the students at the National Defense University in order to cultivate successors for modern warfare.
Zhang Hanqing formulated his unique military concept in the training syllabus for officers above the regiment of the Armored Corps, which later became the most outstanding achievement of the "deep offensive" campaign theory. This deep offensive campaign theory is based on having a large number of aircraft and artillery. , armored troops and other mechanized units as the premise.
The main tasks of the depth campaign: The first task is to conduct an assault on the enemy's entire tactical depth to break through the enemy's front; the second task is to immediately throw mechanized troops into the breakthrough. This force, with the coordination of aviation, should attack the enemy's entire battle depth. Attack until the enemy group is eliminated.
? Simply put, it’s breakthrough, breakthrough, breakthrough.
Due to limitations in industrial capacity, Japan was even slower in developing its thoughts and actions on tanks: it did not begin development until 1925 and established its troops in 1929. However, for the same reason, throughout World War II, the Japanese tanks had small tonnage and thin armor. The characteristics of its small operating radius and backward artillery are obvious, and it does not play much role on the battlefield at all.
This kind of "thin-skinned" armored vehicle was just fine against the unarmed Chinese anti-war soldiers, but its true colors were revealed in a fight with the Soviet Union.
?Compared with the increasingly enlightened Chinese military, the Japanese Army is not very welcoming of new weapons such as tanks. In addition to the superstitious spirit and omnipotence, the organizational structure of the Japanese Army is also a reason.
The strongest organization of the Japanese Army is the regiment (regiment), because except for the Guards Division, the regiments of the other divisions are so-called "local regiments". Everyone in the regiment has to behave honestly with their tail between their legs. , otherwise you will fart and go home smelly.
The regimental captain (regiment leader) was a big local tyrant and evil gentry. Even in the last days of the Pacific War, if you knew the regiment commander, the "call-up letter" would still not be sent to your home. How about it, is it evil enough?
The commanders don't like tanks. They likeWhat? Like horses. Tanks are not profitable for them. Building tanks is a matter for the factory, and ordering tanks is a matter for the staff headquarters. The fuel for the tanks is also uniformly supplied - there is no trick. And what about the horse? Horse feed is a big deal. Where to buy it and how much to buy are tricky.
There is nothing you can do if you become a tank captain. Ordinary captains generally stay away from tanks. The Japanese Navy is corrupt from the top (the "Siemens incident" of ordering warships before World War I is an example), while the Japanese Army is corrupt from the middle level.
In terms of mortars, the 60mm guns mainly equipped by the Chinese infantry battalions have the same performance as similar weapons of the Japanese army. However, the Japanese army is equipped with a large number of 50mm caliber Type 89 grenades (6 in one squadron). The Japanese have certain capabilities. Melee firepower advantage.
???????????????????? However, the Japanese grenades, the smoothbore ones are completely blind, and the veterans still have a certain degree of accuracy. But the premise is that you have been training for many years, and the enemy has little suppressive firepower, so you can use it calmly. Now that the People's Army field artillery has begun to be equipped at the regiment level, in terms of firepower, it depends on the power of the division's artillery; in terms of attacking difficulties, the People's Army has an absolute advantage.
In terms of the number of artillery pieces, a Chinese division has 54 howitzers of various types and 54 field guns, for a total of 108 artillery pieces. During the same period, the Japanese army had only 54 mountain guns or field guns in one division, and the frequency and scale of its replacement of 105mm caliber cannons were not as high as those of the Chinese army.
And Zhang Hanqing was determined that if the army level was compared with the Japanese divisions, the number of cannons would increase to 378, and the difference in heavy firepower would be 7 times stronger.
There are 28,200 people in Japan's Class A division, 24,400 in Class B, and only 15,500 in Class C. As for the Class D division composed of teams, there is no need to compare. The number of troops reorganized by the People's Army in 1927 was 50,059, which was twice that of Japan's first-class divisions. China had an advantage.
With China’s huge human resources, it is not difficult to form another 100 such armies, but Japan does not dare to make such big claims. Therefore, judging from the advantages in army numbers and equipment alone, China and Japan are not on the same level.
With such heavy weapons and individual soldier equipment, Chinese soldiers are not inferior to the Japanese army.
The Japanese army mainly uses the 6.5 mm caliber Meiji 38 (1905)-style rifle, commonly known as the "Sanba Daigai". It has the advantages of good accuracy, long range and long gun body, which is conducive to hand-to-hand combat, but it also has the advantages of small caliber and lethality. Poor weaknesses. According to official history, Yan Xishan's Taiyuan Arsenal once imitated the gun in the 1920s. After the troops got it, they complained that it had little lethality and disliked it.
Since the late Qing Dynasty, most Chinese military circles have been interested in German-style 7.92 mm caliber firearms. The earliest rifle equipped in large quantities in history was an improved version of the Mauser - "Made in Hanyang": In 1935, the Nanjing government, based on the advice of German consultants, unified the entire army with the German Kar98 Mauser rifle as the standard, except for outsourcing. It is counterfeited in China as "China Official" (along with kat98, it is called "Seven-Nine" gun).
This type of gun has been the main equipment of the German army in World War II.
Most old people who participated in the Anti-Japanese War know that the wound of the "79" gun is small when it goes in, and a piece of meat can be taken out; the 6.5 mm "38 cover" is not only small in caliber, but also has a "big hole" due to ballistic design flaws. , how big does it come out?" At that time, people joked: "If you hit a Japanese soldier with a 38-meter gun, he will come back a few days later."
The Japanese army also felt that the 38-gun was ineffective. In 1939, it finally developed the Type 99 rifle with a caliber of 7.7 mm. Its performance was equivalent to the German Kar98 type. However, due to limited production capacity, it only prioritized equipping the Kwantung Army and later the Southern Army. The elite divisions and the "China Expeditionary Force" in China's Guannei battlefield continue to be equipped with the "38" type.
At this time and space, the Mauser rifle became the standard firearm for the infantry of the People's Army ahead of schedule, taking the lead in comparing individual weapons against Japan. As for the machine guns used as light weapons, the performance of the Czech light machine gun (general-purpose German 7.9 mm ammunition) mainly equipped by the People's Army is also much better than the Japanese "Crooked" machine gun (Taisho 11th year, 1926 type) ).
The reason is that the Japanese machine guns have poor ammunition supply, and the general-purpose 6.5mm bullets are not lethal enough. In terms of heavy firepower, the Japanese heavy machine gun is Type 92, which uses 7.7 mm caliber bullets and has good cold resistance. The disadvantage is that it is inconvenient to operate by feeding bullets and is easy to jam;
The People's Army has great experience in using the Maxim heavy machine gun and believes that apart from the trouble of water cooling, its reliability is better than that of the Type 92.
Overall, the Japanese Army has been pushed down a notch by China. This is determined by China’s national conditions, which emphasize land over sea. It is also a practical need. Without the stability of the land, how can we talk about coastal defense?
Of course, Japan does not look down upon a weak China, and none of its close neighbors in Asia has sufficient army strength, which is one of the reasons why it does not pay attention to the development of army equipment. And when facing maritime powers such as Britain and the United States, he kept pace with the times. This shows that the strength of your opponent will really affect your level.
In addition to teammates who are like pigs that will drag you down, opponents who are like sheep will also reduce your wolfishness.
From a simple comparison of numbers, it can be seen that when the lethargic China is armed to the head by the People's Party, the power it radiates is astonishing! China, just across the sea, has risen. Why do you still look at the problem from the old perspective? ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)In addition to dragging you down, sheep-like opponents will also make you less wolfish.

Chapter 847 Dare to be the first in the world
Being a late mover requires the ability to overpower others; being a first mover requires a leading advantage.
In the three years since the Feng Dynasty took control of Beijing, China's army has quietly become the largest in Asia in terms of quantity and equipment. Once upon a time, neither Zhang Zuolin nor Zhang Hanqing, nor anyone in the Feng Faction, would have thought that the People's Party and the People's Army would grow so fast.
Under Zhang Hanqing’s forward-looking awareness, the government led by the People’s Party has effectively tapped the country’s potential and effectively mobilized idle social resources, thus giving the country a youthful atmosphere.
China’s potential is huge. This kind of industrial capacity and economic development relying on exponential growth has brought surprises to the world. From the beginning of the development of Fengxi to the present, it has been its "golden decade".
Huge investments and a stingy expansion of reproduction policy have made China’s finances start to feed back the military after carefully maintaining necessary and limited defense expenditures. In the month when the "Tanaka Memorial" was born, the Chinese Senate passed the government's decision to double defense investment.
It seems that China has so many armies, but considering that China is surrounded by so many powerful enemies and has a long coastline that needs to be guarded, it is not surprising that Europe, the United States and Japan are "surprised" that they have so many troops.
Because the navy is weak, it is basically defenseless at sea. The enemy can land at any location with its powerful navy. Due to traffic restrictions, rapid mutual assistance cannot be achieved in the southeast, east China, north China and northeast directions. In this way, if there is no certain defense capability in any direction, the national defense will be destabilized.
The Northeast will be the front line of resistance against Japan, so six armies are permanently stationed. Not only must they be sure of eating the Kwantung Army, but they must also be on guard against the Japanese troops supporting from North Korea, as well as the long Sino-North Korean border—several locations are "accident-prone areas";
The Beijing Military Region mainly faces invading enemies from the Bohai Sea direction. Historically, all major powers entered Beijing from the sea via Tianjin, and it was the center of the capital. Five armies could only be considered barely adequate;
The Jinan Military Region is responsible for the important task of going out to support North China, and it also has to guard Qingdao, the most important naval base in the north - it is also one of the "favorite" landing sites of the great powers, because it is one of the few good military ports in the north. one;
Needless to say, the Nanjing Military Region must not only have a certain degree of binding force on the cancerous "Public Settlement" in Shanghai, but also protect the safety of the important Yangtze River waterway during wartime to prevent internal harassment. The above four military divisions separate China's five strongest main forces and are the first line of barriers.
The Guangzhou Military Region is too far away from the other military regions, and the transportation is quite inconvenient. At present, except for the Beijing-Kowloon Line, the only convenient way to enter and exit is by sea.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing placed the South China Fleet here. The general strategic idea is that in the event of a large-scale war, Hainan will be abandoned, relying on Hong Kong, and defending Guangzhou Bay. Therefore, although four armies were deployed here, there were basically no troops to support it for three to five months.
The other Lanzhou and Chengdu Military Regions each have three armies, each responsible for two directions. The four armies of the Wuhan Military Region serve as the national strategic reserve. In other words, the number of troops that China may deploy in any direction in the east, west, south, or north is only 10 corps with 500,000 troops at most
Having completed the make-up lessons for the Army, China began to have the energy to spend money on the Navy.
The delay in building railways will not help the urgent situation. From Wuhan to Guangzhou, it takes 15 trains to transport an infantry division to the front line. Under China's current transportation capacity, this is equivalent to half a month
The correct solution is to defend the enemy from outside the country. Instead of fortifying the sea everywhere, it is better to build a fleet with certain combat capabilities. However, in view of limited financial resources, the Chinese Navy adopts a "small steps and fast running" approach. Although the three fleets are small but comprehensive, China has everything that a modern fleet should have.
Based on the earliest three submarines in each group, the three submarine commands have each added one group. Compared with the relatively unreliable and weak sea surface force, it enables China to have relative attack means for the first time.
The naval aviation force's annual supply of 200 seaplanes gives the Bohai and Yangtze River fleets the opportunity to expand into large units with three brigades each - a wing (division), namely the 1st and 2nd Water Bomb-1 Alliance. The South China Fleet can only serve as the second echelon at this time, but it is also equipped with two squadrons and two reconnaissance squadrons.
The 4th, 5th, and 6th destroyer fleets also set up draft teams. The former are four "Jiujiang" class destroyers that are worthy of being on the market, and are stationed in Qingdao; the latter two are both 15 "Hankou" class gunboats, each with one "Jiujiang" class destroyer as the flagship.
There is no way. This kind of outdated destroyer can only be manufactured in small batches. It is not only to gain experience in the shipyard, but also to serve as an internship for naval cadets. Therefore, the annual output is only 2 ships.
Counting together, China has experienced two consecutiveThe military expenditure in 2006 was not low - since gaining control of Congress, the Republic of China government has increased its focus on the military industry, and financial allocations have reached 390 million for the first time.
Even so, it is only equal to Japan’s military expenditure during the same period. However, Japan has invested heavily in its navy. For example, it has successively launched the "Hosho", "Akagi", and "Kaga" aircraft carriers, which are far beyond what China can imagine.
Because of this, the glory of the Chinese Army has been achieved. Zhang Hanqing has reason to believe that even if Japan strives to catch up, it will never have a chance to catch up at a time when the national economic situation is getting further and further away from China. And Japan risks weakening its naval investment - as we all know, the Japanese navy is the backbone of its dominance in Asia.
When the Chinese Army slowed down, money was not spent indiscriminately. This is Zhang Hanqing's forward-looking consideration of the military leap: whether the limited money can be spent wisely depends on whether China's military strength can catch up in the short term. A barometer of great powers.
So the Air Force deserves special praise.
Following the service of the improved version of the seaplane "A-type I" "Shuihong-1" and the service of the land aircraft "J-1", the country has invested more and more resources in aircraft. This is due to the increase in national power. , there are considerations of military strategy and factors of foreign support.
On May 21st of this year, American navigator Charles Lindbergh piloted the monoplane "Spirit of St. Louis" to complete the first non-stop flight across the Atlantic from New York to Paris, which lasted 33 hours and 39 minutes.
While the Americans on the other side of the ocean are still marveling at this feat, and the French are still embracing their hero, some people may just regard his achievements as a stunt flight to make money, and envy the Outlaw Award he won. At $25,000, others saw an opportunity.
Businessmen saw that the future of aviation and air travel was brewing. Aircraft designers began to develop aircraft with longer range and greater load capacity to give more people the opportunity to fly in the sky. Zhang Hanqing already clearly understood: the era of great aviation has arrived.
With his efforts, China Aviation has firmly grasped the world trend. Although it is in the stage of introduction and imitation, that is because of the industrial gap. The world has not yet developed a deep understanding of the military role of aircraft. Therefore, when the arms embargo was imposed on China, there was no comment on the introduction of aircraft, which gave China an opportunity. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 848: Speak with strength
With several years of experience in using and building aircraft - they are all subsidiaries of China Aviation Group and share technology, Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory began to develop a complete passenger aircraft of this era, and to make it bigger. powerful. With traditional industry and transportation already slowing down, will China be able to achieve glory again with its courage to be the first in the world?
Zhang Hanqing was determined to use the development of the air force to offset Japan's overwhelming naval advantage over China, so he spent a lot of money on building air force capabilities. He imported a number of aircraft from the Soviet Union and the United States and made extensive modifications and copies. Among them are the famous American Douglas DT torpedo bomber (named "YH-1" after China modified it) and the Soviet-supported AHT-1 bomber (named the land-based "H-1" after China modified it) ").
During this period, Zhang Hanqing was particularly concerned about the development of the torpedo bomber "Yohh-1", which had the opportunity to become a weapon against Japan's huge navy.
Douglas DT is a two-seat, single-engine, biplane, carrier-based fish bomber with a crew of 2 and uses a 450-horsepower "Liberty" 12-cylinder piston engine. Equipped with a 7.62 mm Browning machine gun, bomb load: 1 834 kg (1835 lb) aviation torpedo. The fuselage is a steel frame structure, covered with aluminum skin before the middle section and cloth skin after the middle section.
Zhang Hanqing liked it because he had seen the blockbuster movie "Pearl Harbor" and was shocked by the scene in which fish and mines exploded warships. As long as such a torpedo hits directly, the huge battleship will be severed from the center. If there were several such torpedoes aimed at Japanese warships, what would be the shame of the Sino-Japanese War 30 years ago?
Its 441km range seems very short, but as long as it forms combat effectiveness, it is more than enough to protect the security of China's maritime borders within 200 kilometers. Zhang Hanqing has not yet thought of competing for air supremacy in the far seas. After all, you have to eat your meal one bite at a time.
Its technical performance may not seem worth mentioning today, but at the time, it was considered a very good model, although the United States soon replaced it with new aircraft.
Because this is a modified aircraft that the United States took from the United Kingdom and was quickly eliminated, it was introduced to the Chinese Air Force as a clamping tool to deal with the Japanese threat in Asia when Sino-US relations were heating up.
China already has the ability to manufacture such aircraft. The batch entry of J-1 fighter jets into active service has provided the aircraft manufacturing industry with a steady stream of upgrade opportunities and improvement capabilities. The gradually mature aircraft manufacturers have obtained this carrier-based version. Modification on land is not difficult.
Because China has a good background in the aircraft industry, China quickly produced imitation weapons with similar performance. Combining fighters, bombers, and transport aircraft, nearly 300 are built each year. By the end of the year, 3 fighter wings, 2 bomber wings, and a transport aircraft squadron had been formed, with nearly 300 combat aircraft of various types.
Although there are few aircraft, there are nearly 3,000 pilots, and there are three schools dedicated to training pilots, located in Qinhuangdao, Xi'an, and Nanchang. This is China's reserve of talents for the future.
An already built torpedo bomber group was handed over to the Navy's Bohai Fleet, together with the seaplanes that were part of the Navy's establishment. Since then, the navy and air force have been completely separated and moved forward hand in hand.
The Navy is not lagging behind either: the Chinese Navy's current important pillar armed force, seaplanes, has been equipped with 2 wings, two Hydro-1 squadrons and 2 reconnaissance aircraft squadrons, a total of 288 aircraft; the three major fleets of Bohai, Yangtze and South China The number of surface ships, especially destroyers, gunboats, and torpedo boats, has increased exponentially, and they have gradually become capable of serving as offshore defense capabilities;
In addition, China's first completely self-made submarine is about to be launched, and a series of supporting military products such as torpedoes, depth bombs, and ship-based artillery have also made breakthroughs. All of this depends on the early days of the Republic of China. The shipbuilding capabilities of two famous shipyards - Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard and Fujian Shipbuilding Bureau (ie Fujian Mawei Shipyard).
Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard was the largest shipyard in China until the time of crossing, and its strength was not weak: it once accepted orders from the United States from 1918 to 1919, manufacturing four 10,000-ton cargo ships of the same type, all with fully covered decks, The steam-powered cargo ships were named "mandarin", "celestial", "oriental" and "cathey".
These ships are 135 meters long, 16.7 meters wide, 11.6 meters deep, and have a displacement of 14,750 tons. Among them, the first "Guanfu" was launched on June 3, 1920. The four ships were inspected and accepted by the U.S. Department of Transportation. They are solid and well-equipped. The U.S. government is very satisfied with their construction quality.
Mawei Shipyard was built on December 23, 1866. It was the first mechanical shipyard produced by the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty in my country. Shen Baozhen, then Prime Minister and Minister of Shipping, fought against all obstacles, reformed the old system, and boldly introduced advanced European shipbuilding technology, equipment and engineering technicians. He hired a Frenchman, Japanese Italian, to be the shipbuilding supervisor, and appointed foreigners to teach shipbuilding and machine building skills. ??
In 1869, my country's first thousand-ton ship was built here; in 1871, my country's first steam engine was born; in 1882, my country's largest tonnage iron-ribbed wooden hull warship was built; in 1889, my country's first steel Shell-net armored warship.
From the establishment of the factory to 1907, Mawei Shipbuilding went through a process from learning from foreigners to build wooden-hulled steam warships to dismissing foreign technicians in 1875 and designing and building ships on its own, realizing the independent construction of wooden-hulled-iron-wood composite-steel ships. With the qualitative change of ships, a total of more than 40 large and small ships were manufactured, becoming the largest shipyard with the largest number of shipbuilding projects in my country at that time, and the largest shipbuilding base in the Far East at that time.
After the Revolution of 1911, Mawei Shipping Bureau was changed to Fuzhou Shipping Bureau, and the Aircraft Manufacturing Engineering Office was established. China's first "A-type No. 1" biplane seaplane was built here after more than a year of hard work by young Chinese scientific and technical personnel such as Bayusao, Wang Zhu and Zeng Yijing who graduated from the Department of Aeronautical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. successful.
Since then, 17 aircraft including two-seat training aircraft, coastal patrol aircraft, and torpedo bombers have been built, and my country's own pilots have been trained. This makes Fuzhou Shipping not only the birthplace of ships, but also the cradle of China's aviation industry.
Sometimes I think about it, old China is really not "poor and white" as mentioned in the textbooks. The first important China that can be borrowed is:
China’s first heavy-duty diesel engine: 1924, 5 specifications of low-speed heavy-duty diesel engines, Shanghai Xinyan Machinery Factory.
China’s first universal milling machine: 1918, Shanghai Wang Yueji Machinery Factory.
China’s first diesel engine: 1913, ball-burning 40-horsepower diesel engine, Guangzhou Xiehe Machinery Factory.
China’s first lathe manufacturing factory: Shanghai Rongchangtai Machinery Factory in 1915.
China’s first steam engine for a 10,000-ton wheel: 1918, 3430 and 3668 horsepower steam engines, Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.
……
Acknowledging the contributions of latecomers does not necessarily mean denying the achievements of predecessors. To be honest, although China's industrial foundation in the early Republic of China was not good, the gap was not as big as later propaganda. Of course, after the baptism of war, The gap in the future is inevitable.
"Sneaked into the night wind, moisten things silently". Under the leadership of the People's Party, visible military strength is increasing, and the growth of invisible potential power is even more astonishing. Zhang Hanqing used his advanced consciousness to draw a blueprint for ancient China to rise again:
Economic investment, due to the foundation of agricultural reclamation in Northeast China, the construction of water conservancy facilities, and the widespread use of tractors, farmers' enthusiasm and ability to grow grain have exploded unprecedentedly. Several fertilizer plants jointly established by China National Cereals and Oils Corporation and China National Chemical Corporation have been widely used in Northeast China, generally increasing the grain yield to 200 kilograms per mu.
Because of the huge profits, all parts of Northeast China have expanded their cultivated area and land reclamation efforts. The cultivated area has increased from 200 million acres to the current 300 million acres in only 10 years!
? It is said that with the foundation of 600 tons of gold and such good geographical conditions, it is not difficult for the economy to grow at a 100% annual rate. However, considering the sustainable development of the economy, Zhang Hanqing invested most of his finances in modern industry and modern transportation that were difficult to bear fruit in the short term.
Hydropower stations, telephone companies, precision machine tool factories, large shipyards, locomotive manufacturers, automobile factories, engine manufacturers, aircraft factories, large water conservancy facilities, large-scale railway networks these projects that are slow to produce results but have an important impact on the national economy and people's livelihood are Seize the day and night to get on the horse.
? Universities, technical schools, research institutes, laboratories, five-year compulsory education (nine-year system started in Northeast China) these high-cost and high-investment projects are also included in the performance evaluations of various local governments. What Zhang Hanqing wants is not a sudden GDP growth index, but a real way to strengthen the country.
"China is so big that we cannot rely on buying everything; we cannot rely on importing all advanced technologies.
Unlike the reform and opening up of later generations, the current task of the Republic of China government is to release China’s hidden private productivity and expand domestic demand so that all industries can advance hand in hand. The national strength is still very weak. It is enough to prevent foreign goods from being dumped in China. Don't think about earning foreign exchange.
With industrial drag groups in the hands and local governments controlling the situation, foreign products cannot enter in many important areas. "Made in China" products therefore have the opportunity to improve in practice and lay a solid foundation for China's industrial renaissance.
It’s not that China has no foundation, it’s even very impressive. It’s just that it was buried in the old society where all the horses were silent. Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing has carried forward this foundation. During this time and space, China, which was gradually recovering its vitality, rejuvenated and stood up again. This is an unchangeable historical trend!
According to the evaluation of the general trend of the country in modern history, when a big country rises in the cracks of traditional powers, the probability of a large-scale war breaking out between countries is only 50%. When one great power rises and another great power declines, war is inevitable. As the gap between China and Japan increases, the risk of war also increases greatly.
But where did this war start? Because of Zhang Hanqing's strong participation, the balance of power between China and Japan no longer makes China no longer the former Wu Xia Amen.
Since history has inevitably taken a turn, it should be impossible for another 9-18 to happen, but where will it be?

??
Because the Japanese occupied Dalian and Lushun controlled the entrance and exit of the Bohai Bay, and the South-Manchuria Railway penetrated the heart of the Northeast, China's most industrially developed city Shenyang and most of the heavy industry bases Tianjin and Qingdao and important ports Huludao, Qinhuangdao, Yingkou, and the capital Beijing was always under threat from the Japanese navy, land and air force.
Although the Bohai Fleet has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the official history, it is unable to passively protect the numerous ports around the Bohai Sea and the north. What's more, Japan's navy is more than one level stronger than China.
The Japanese military presence in Kanto State and the spy agency in mainland China seriously threaten the country's survival, like a thorn in China's neck. After experiencing another assassination, the Zhang Zuolin government's hatred of Japan has reached its peak. Now that politics, military, and economy have made long-term progress, it is time to eliminate this cancer.
Five years ago, the Northeast Autonomous Government, with the Fengcian clique as the main force, established a new transportation committee in the Northeast, built its own railway system-the second Beijing-Harbin line and telecommunications system, and developed Huludao Port. To fight against the Dalian Port under Japanese rule.
Now, the government firmly refuses to extend Japan's leased land and prohibits local people from working for the Japanese in order to stop Japanese mining and deforestation in the Northeast.
Under this policy, the transportation capacity of the Japanese-occupied South Manchuria Railway, which once connected the important industrial areas of Changchun and Dalian, dropped to less than half the level in 1922, and it was in a loss-making situation for three consecutive years;
??In the Northeast, industrial and mining enterprises under the control of the People's Government prohibit Japanese personnel from participating in cooperation, resulting in a large number of Japanese Koreans becoming unemployed in the Northeast;
In Shanghai, Chinese-owned enterprises, with funding from the central government, took advantage of China's local resources to squeeze out the Japanese textile industry, which had long been monopolized by the Japanese, out of Shanghai. The Chinese textile industry sprung up everywhere, replacing Japan as the world's number one. export country;
In Shandong (especially Qingdao), due to the Japanese government's loss of power, a large number of Japanese Koreans immigrated to the Northeast, exacerbating the crisis of Nanman Co., Ltd.
It is this situation that makes the Japanese regard the crisis of Nanman Co., Ltd. as the result of the Chinese's exclusion of Japan.
In early 1928, China, which had successfully completed its third three-year economic plan, and under Zhang Hanqing's long-term planning, had an overwhelming advantage over Japan in Northeast China. The six armies of the Shenyang Military Region commanded by Pei Qixun formed a pincer attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army in the east, west and north directions.
The opening of the (Beijing) Jia (Beijing) Jia (Musi) line, which bypasses the railway lines shared by China and Japan such as Shenyang and Changchun, has made it possible to strategically transfer and support various troops within the pass. It can be said that whether it is a battle Whether it's a quick war or a protracted war, the Northeast People's Army has the advantages of troop deployment and logistical supplies.
Han Linchun significantly adjusted the deployment of the Northeast Army:
With the main force of the 20th Army occupying Yingkou, the South Manchuria Railway and Guandong Prefecture can be cut into two sections during wartime, and the Japanese landing in Liaodong Bay can be prevented;
The 14th Army guarded the west side of the Yalu River in Dandong, blocking the Japanese and Korean reinforcements from Sinuiju during the war, and was authorized to blow up the Yalu River Bridge in Dandong at critical moments of the war, preventing the Korean army from responding, forming a closed-door and dog-fighting strategy against the Kwantung Army. potential;
The 30th Army is the garrison, responsible for the Sino-North Korean border from Hunchun at the mouth of the Tumen River to Baishan and Tonghua - this area is crisscrossed with ditches and large-scale operations are unlikely, but it is necessary to prevent the Japanese army from possible attacks in Hunchun and other border areas diversionary activities and possible countermeasures for the Japanese and Korean troops;
The elite 29th Army guards Shenyang, Fushun, Tieling and other places as the total mobile force.
According to Zhang Hanqing's order, the "Beidahuang Construction Corps" was also ordered to form two armies, each with three infantry divisions, as a strategic general reserve.
The People's Army Air Force is also ready to go and has stationed two bomber squadrons in Benxi in advance. A newly formed 125mm heavy howitzer regiment was also ordered to be deployed and placed under the organizational structure of the Shenyang Military Region.
Faced with the almost aggressive posture of the Chinese government, Japan has significantly strengthened the strength of the Kwantung Army. Lieutenant General Murakaze Chotaro, who is known as the rising star of the Locust Army, replaced General Muto Nobuyoshi as the new commander of the Kwantung Army on August 26. The elite 2nd Division also changed its commander a month ago. The division commander is Japan Army University. Lieutenant General Akai Harumi who graduated from the 9th class.
In order to make up for the numerical disadvantage of the Kwantung Army, the Navy's 17th Destroyer Squadron and two seaplane squadrons were stationed in Port Arthur. The 17th Destroyer Division has four destroyers including "Urakaze", "Isokaze", "Tanikaze" and "Hamakaze", and its flagship is the light cruiser "Yura". This is the largest naval force in the China-North Korea region, especially in the Bohai Bay, and it poses the most direct threat to China's heartland.
The Japanese and Korean troops also mobilized a brigade and deployed it beside the Dandong Bridge on the east side of the Yalu River on the China-North Korea border to??Emergency events.
The Dandong Yalu River Bridge is located in the urban area of ??Dandong, Liaoning Province. There are actually two bridges, less than 100 meters apart. The construction of the first bridge started in May 1909 and was completed in October 1911. It was built by the Railway Bureau of the then Japanese Governor-General of Korea and was originally a railway bridge. At that time, the first bridge was the only bridge between China and North Korea on the Yalu River, and it was a convenient land transportation artery for the Japanese army to invade China.
As early as 1922, when the Feng clan was having trouble with the Japanese, Zhang and his son had agreed that in the event of a mutiny between China and Japan, the weak Feng army would blow up the bridge at all costs at the beginning of the war in order to create a short-term confrontation. The overwhelming advantage of the Kwantung Army.
However, as the situation has developed now, Zhang Hanqing does not want to blow it up easily: First, the offensive and defensive momentum has reversed, and the possibility of Japan launching an attack first is declining; on the other hand, if a war breaks out, it will be a protracted war of attrition.
It would be easy to completely annihilate the Kwantung Army and form a situation of facing each other across the river on the China-North Korea border, but it would inevitably have to give up the advantages of the People's Army Army and fall into a situation in which China's limited navy responds to the relatively powerful Japanese navy, which would greatly affect China's foreign trade. , which is detrimental to China’s economic development.
And if control of this bridge is a condition, the victory of the People's Army Army will continue to attack southward in North Korea to put pressure on the Japanese army. In this way, the pressure may be reduced in other places. After all, the loss of North Korea is an unbearable burden for Japan. It is related to its strategic security, national honor, and national status symbol.
If Japan loses power here, it will inevitably continue to send troops. In this way, China and Japan may, after several major wars, reach an agreement similar to that of stopping the line at the 38th Parallel after the end of the Korean War. In doing so, firstly, the powerful advantages of the People's Army and the Army are brought into play; secondly, it is not only the Japanese who have the final say on whether to cease the war and the scale of the Sino-Japanese war, and strategically they do not lag behind their opponents.
The two sides were at war with each other and sent troops to the front one after another. At this time, neither China nor Japan was ready for a full-scale war. Japan has not yet formed a comprehensive war mobilization, and China is still carrying out comprehensive economic construction in order to restore the vitality of its former economic power.
Although Japan has been invading China for decades, Zhang Hanqing has a vision that is half a century ahead of his time. Will the balance of history tilt towards China? ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 850 The price of ingratitude
??
Since the beginning of the Republic of China, North Korean immigrants have flowed into Northeast China bordering North Korea on a large scale, resulting in an unprecedented immigration wave.
This is caused by a variety of reasons: Japanese imperialism's reactionary colonial rule of Korea forced a large number of Korean people to flee abroad, while the Republic of China government vigorously implemented the policy of liberating official land and promoting reclamation in the Northeast, which provided a good foundation for the migration of Korean immigrants. Favorable historical opportunities and vast geographical space.
Before and after the merger of Japan and South Korea in 1910, armed uprisings against Japanese colonial rule broke out across North Korea and were brutally suppressed by the Japanese rulers.
After that, the Korean people did not stop their resistance activities. On March 1, 1919, a large-scale nationwide Korean independence movement finally broke out. From March 1 to the end of May, North Korea held rallies, parades, and uprisings for 1,515 years. times, with 1,325,126 participants. The Japanese colonial rulers carried out a bloody suppression of the Korean independence movement. A total of 7,248 Korean people died, 15,020 were injured, and 43,783 were arrested.
In the process of suppressing the Korean independence movement, the majority of North Korean civilians suffered heavy property losses. After the failure of the Korean independence movement, a large number of persecuted anti-Japanese people were forced to flee abroad, forming another wave of overseas immigration.
Many rebels were forced to flee their homeland, some went into exile abroad, and many more crossed the Tumen and Yalu rivers to seek protection or survival from their original sovereigns.
China and North Korea are separated by a water, and China has always been the suzerainty of North Korea. There is no psychological barrier for North Korean people to flee to China. Moreover, Dongsan Xiaoxiao, which is separated by a corner, has similar water, soil, climate and humanistic environment to North Korea. Naturally, it is North Korea. The first choice for immigrants. The reason why these immigrants are refugees is because most of the Korean agricultural immigrants who moved into the Northeast at that time, whether they were economic or political exiles, were poor or proletarians who only carried a small amount of travel expenses.
At the same time, the development of the landlord economy and the rich peasant economy in the Northeast has led to the liberalization of rural labor employment and the commercialization of labor, which has strengthened the Northeast's capacity to accommodate immigrants. After Zhang Hanqing's passage, the Northeast Autonomous Government became more It requires a large amount of labor to develop the vast land in Northeast China, and it has a welcoming attitude towards North Korean refugees.
Not only that, but many refugees were also provided with some necessary daily necessities, allowing them to survive the most difficult moments safely. However, because the government's financial resources are limited, the vast majority of funding is provided through policy support to landowners of all sizes.
But what do the landlords mean? According to tradition, they all came up with the idea of ??hiring workers: a large number of Korean immigrants who were economically poor and unable to stand on their own and politically oppressed and unable to survive on their own, just adapted to the needs of the development of the landlord economy and rich peasant economy in the Northeast, and engaged in profitable work for them. Paddy field management provides cheap and skilled labor.
As far as business landowners are concerned, in order to increase land output and output value, they often lease land with better water conservancy conditions to North Korean immigrants and convert dry land into paddy fields.
According to reports: “Most of the North Korean immigrants are exiles, so when they arrive at their destination and sign a tenancy contract with the landlord, most of them have almost no money in their pockets, including all the farm tools, funds and living expenses they need for a year. , all dependent on the landlords.”
For example, in the Dongbian Road area of ??Liaoning Province (today's Tonghua District of Jilin Province and Dandong District of Liaoning Province), 98% of Korean immigrants are tenant farmers; while the Korean immigrants along the Shenyang-Hailong Railway (Shenyang to Hailong) "are not pure farmers at all, and all They are tenant farmers"; in the Kaiyuan area, "these Koreans have almost no assets, so most of them only have a tenancy contract relationship with the Chinese landlords, so they lack permanence and tend to move around."
In order to maximize the full integration of refugees into Northeastern society, reduce the blind flow and increase social stability, the National Unification Committee stipulated the conditions for North Korean immigrants to join the Northeastern Province: independently reclaim more than 10 acres of unowned wasteland per capita, and pay an average tax in the first year 40%, and 30% tax in the second year, decreasing in sequence.
After 10 consecutive years, you can apply for a Chinese green card and become an informal citizen who enjoys various benefits other than the right to vote, the right to be elected and military service, thus providing a good socio-economic environment for North Korean immigrants to move in and settle down.
The hope of survival has led to an unprecedented wave of Korean immigrants in Northeast China. In the Yanbian area, Korean immigrants not only settled in the forest areas along the Tumen River, but also flowed to various places in Yanbian in large numbers, causing a large increase in the Korean population in the Yanbian area.
According to official historical statistics, the Korean population in Yanbian was 9,100 in 1908, which increased sharply to 127,500 in 1911, and to 279,150 in 1919. Yanbian has always been the area with the highest concentration of Korean immigrants, making the area finally the largest Korean inhabited area in China.
By 1930, the Korean population in Northeast China was 607,119, of which 395,874 were in Yanbian, accounting for more than 65% of the entire Korean population in Northeast China! North Korean Immigration?The four counties of Yanji, Helong, Wangqing and Hunchun all account for more than half of the local residents. The Korean population in Helong County actually accounts for 94.4% of the local residents, making it the dominant ethnic group in the area.
The Chinese nation is kind and the Chinese people are enthusiastic. He opened his arms to the North Korean refugees who were in dire straits and did not ask for any favors in return.
But repaying kindness with hatred is not only the nature of modern Korean sticks. After settling down, a group of well-fed sticks began to have new ideas. They were not willing to be "subordinates" and wanted to be the masters of the land themselves, so they began to think of possessing the land at their feet, completely forgetting how grateful and grateful they were in the first place.
Back then, backbone leaders led by leaders such as Park Chengzheng and Cui Yongzhi of the Northern Reclamation Branch of the "Yijinhui" organized a large-scale "autonomy" petition, but it was forcefully dismantled by Zhang Hanqing with clever means. As a result, the North Reclamation Branch was forcibly disbanded, the leaders were shot, and the Koreans were inactive for a long time.
Nine years later, the blood on the banks of the Tumen River has not yet dried, and they have forgotten the pain again. According to the Chinese government, ten years is the deadline for obtaining a Chinese green card, and many people are already waiting eagerly. They feel that with the attraction of the unification of Chinese culture, it won't be long before they are "assimilated" and accepted as compatriots by the Chinese nation and become members of the Chinese nation.
This is not possible! We came here to survive, but now we are fighting for the land under our feet. We should clearly distinguish ourselves from the Chinese and retain our own national characteristics!
Therefore, under the instigation of some "well-intentioned people", some of them, the "elites traveling in China" - they consciously ignored their status as refugees and thought they were here to travel - in the Huichun area On the grounds that North Korea accounts for the majority of the population, they demand local autonomy. They also use the banner of "Jilin Province Huichun Korean Autonomous Committee" and demand the establishment of a Korean Autonomous Prefecture in Huichun.
This time they learned the lesson and did not mention independence directly. Instead, they played the "progressive independence" approach. First obtain local autonomy, legitimately obtain local autonomy, and then wait for opportunities to take action after it reaches a large scale.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? This makes no sense! These foreign refugees who are not Chinese citizens want to establish autonomy on Chinese territory because there are many people of their own ethnic group, but they never mention whether the land they are based on is their own!
If this reason is legally valid, then Yokohama Chinatown in Japan, Nankinmachi in Kobe, Japan, and Shinchi Chinatown in Nagasaki, Japan should all be considered China’s territory, not to mention the numerous Chinatowns in more distant European and American countries.
Not a son of man! This is a typical Zhongshan wolf, using the sympathy, benevolence, righteousness, and friendship of the Chinese people as a stepping stone for his own conspiracy! This is not the respect that the former foreign vassals had for the Central Empire! This is a shameless act!
As we all know, the Republic of China completed the central governance of all provincial-level regions under Zhang Hanqing’s unremitting determination and no room for concession. At the end of 1926, it had canceled all provincial-level regional autonomy, such as Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Ningxia. Under the unified planning of the central government, all provincial government chief executives are called "provincial governors", and there is no longer a "chairman" at the local level.
Of course, in prefecture-level regional planning, counties with a dominant minority population are given the title of “county of so-and-so ethnic group.” This “so-and-so” is the name of a place rather than the name of the main ethnic group. The purpose of this is to dilute the local ethnic color, rather than strengthen the "landlord" mentality of a certain ethnic group and avoid the fallacy of "a county of a certain ethnic group."
In prefecture-level areas above the county level and below the province level, the “such-and-such” in “such-and-such autonomous prefecture” and “such-and-such autonomous league” are also just place names, and the purpose is the same. From then on, cities, prefectures, states, and leagues were just terms for the differences in legislative power between countries, rather than tools for territorial demarcation with national superiority.
Having finally conquered the northwest frontier, are you willing to let the northeast rebound? And this backlash was entirely caused by a small group of Japanese lackeys! Even the native-born Chinese nation does not have autonomy at the prefecture level. You, a migrant, still want to go to heaven?
The current Chinese government is not what it used to be. The Jilin Provincial Government immediately forcibly closed the office of the so-called "Huichun Korean Autonomous Committee" and arrested 23 Korean leaders. After interrogation, it was discovered that there was a Japanese spy inside!
Of course, these people are accused of "secession" and will be sentenced to death - Zhang Hanqing sincerely wants to eliminate these people who treason, attempt to treason, support treason, or simply raise the banner of treason. , this is also the essence of the "Anti-Secession Law" and the significance of Zhang Hanqing's advance. It has been this way before, and it will always be this way in the future.
I don’t believe it, how many people would risk their lives to do things that are unreasonable, moral and legal! If you think of the clumsy performance of a group of "Occupy Central" elements in Hong Kong at the beginning of time travel, you can know the origin of this law.
"If you are willing to die, I will be willing to bury you"! To borrow a later or famous saying, the government of the Republic of China launched a strong response to these evil trends. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The origin of the law.

Chapter 851 Huichun Conflict
The Japanese don’t care about these gangster logic.
In line with the coveting of territories far away from the "Kwantung State" controlled by itself, the Japanese government has clearly proposed to "protect" Japanese expatriates on the grounds that the merger of Japan and South Korea means that the Korean people are all Japanese expatriates. Our own citizens have been oppressed and unfair in China, and as a country, we must intervene.
Of course, they also turn a blind eye to the facts about Chinese land.
After the diplomatic protest was ineffective, the final statement of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs was that "Japan will take control of it." The Japanese Korean Army and the Japanese Kwantung Army implemented this action.
However, no one could have imagined that the Sino-Japanese War would create another history in another way and in another place. This place is called Huichun, and it replaces Liaoning, which is almost becoming the main battlefield.
Looking at Huichun from the military maps of later generations, we can find that it is right at the "Chicken Tongue" on the Chinese territory. This is where the Tumen River (called Doman River in North Korea) enters the sea.
The Tumen River flows into the Sea of ??Japan, and the south of the river is North Korea; the north of the river, starting from Fangchuan Village, Jingxin Town, Huichun City, is the eastern terminus of the long Sino-Soviet border. The monument with the word "Tu" marks the boundary, and outside the monument is Russia.
On the Sino-Russian border 1.5 kilometers away, there is a small mountain with an altitude of 155.1 meters called Zhanggufeng. It is located at the junction of North Korea, the Soviet Union and China. It is a place that cannot be found on ordinary maps.
Here, there were large-scale battles between Japan and the Soviet Union in history. At this time, due to the butterfly effect of Zhang Hanqing's time travel, it changed.
? Zhanggufeng is also known as Daoshan, and in Russian it is called "Zhaozernaya", which means the high ground on the other side of the lake. The Tumen River, which originates from Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, passes by it. The railway from Luojin, North Korea to Hunchun, Heilongjiang also passes under the mountain. There is a small lake on the east side of the mountain that the locals call Changhu.
The winter here lasts for eight months, which means that it is covered with ice and snow for more than 200 days a year, but after April, the small lake becomes the home of black swans and red-crowned cranes. This area is covered with graceful Northeastern American pines, and to the east from the small lake is boundless grassland.
This place used to be Chinese territory, but the "Sino-Russian Yuhun Treaty" signed by Tsarist Russia and the Qing government in 1858 forcibly cut off this beautiful and rich place from China.
According to the national boundaries delineated in the treaty, Zhanggufeng is Chinese territory. According to the 1858 Treaty of Yuanhui between China and Russia, this is the national boundary between the two countries, but there are no stakes and the boundary is unclear. The Soviet Union called it Lake Hassan, and it was a strategic location overlooking Vladivostok from the east.
To the east and north is Russia's Hasan Lake and Pochet Grassland, to the northwest is connected to Shacao Peak, to the southwest is the 141.2 Highland, to the south is Fangchuan Village Station, and about 2.5 kilometers southeast are China, Russia, and North Korea. 's junction. Shacaofeng is located in my country 2 kilometers northwest of Zhanggu Peak, with an altitude of 77.1 meters. It is 1.2 kilometers away from Shacaofeng Paozi to the Sino-Russian border in the east.
Although this place is important, China and Japan only sent a small number of troops to confront each other across the river because of the opinion that "in such a narrow area, large numbers of troops cannot be dispatched, and therefore it will not lead to a large-scale war."
At noon on August 1, 1928, while Zhang Hanqing was still taking his unshakable nap for many years, his important military deputy Wang Yizhe hurriedly entered the Zhongnanhai Qinzheng Hall where the marshal was sitting, and urgently asked Jiang Huanan, the commander of the Central Guard Division, to wake him up. Young Marshal:
"The first unit of the 268th Regiment of the 89th Division of our 30th Army clashed with the North Korean and Japanese garrison on the Zhanggufeng side. Both sides invested about a hundred people. The fierce battle lasted for about an hour, with casualties on each other. Now the 19th Japanese Division in North Korea has assembled We have heavy troops and are very likely to prepare for a big war in the Huichun area!"
When he received the urgent telegram from Ma Longxiang, commander of the 30th Army in Heilongjiang, Zhang Hanqing was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time. He kept asking Han Linchun, the chief of general staff who was holding the telegram: "Zhang Gufeng! It's Zhang Gufeng." ?"
Although Han Linchun was puzzled by the Young Marshal's insistence on taking a tough stance against the Japanese in the Northeast now, he was the "Prince Faction" and "Young Strong Faction" who firmly supported the Young Marshal's policy towards Japan. In imagination, the Marshal should be very satisfied with this Sino-Japanese conflict and its expanding trend - Wang Yizhe is also one of the few people in the People's Party who understands the Marshal's future policy towards Japan.
"However, the young marshal's behavior after learning the news was too abnormal. Could it be that the young marshal was shaken before the battle?" This is a taboo for military strategists! Isn’t it in line with the Young Marshal’s usual style?
Zhang Hanqing is thinking with a wry smile that "good fortune plays tricks on people"!
He knows that in official history, Japan and the Soviet Union were the protagonists in the fight for Zhang Gufeng in 1938, and the battles took place one after another. It actually reflected the power contest between the two countries in the Far East.
In that war, of course, Japan suffered a huge defeat and lost all face. At that time, the Soviet Union relied on its fearless courage and well-equipped weapons to defeat the Japanese soldiers.??South, northwest, and completely gave up its intention to "go north", thus enabling the Soviet Union to avoid an unfavorable strategic situation in which the eastern and western fronts were threatened at the same time in the future.
In this time and space, a repeated incident happened, but it was 10 years ahead of schedule, and one of the protagonists was changed from the Soviet Union to China!
“If China beats Japan here and there and returns with bloodshed, will it completely make the Japanese give up on advancing northward, so that the Chinese nation can survive the disaster safely? The same event and the same opportunity were presented to Zhang Hanqing, could he grasp it?
Not daring to neglect, he immediately rushed to Zhang Zuolin’s office in Zhongnanhai. Several members of the Central Military Commission of the People's Army in Beijing were informed of the news and rushed to the scene as soon as possible.
After experiencing that mutiny, Zhang Hanqing's prestige in the hearts of these old people has increased unprecedentedly. Although everyone expressed their opinions, they were obviously waiting for the young commander to make his final decision.
Zhang Hanqing has become a pivotal authority on national and military strategy within the People's Party and the People's Army. As he grows older, Zhang Zuolin becomes more and more appreciative and admiring of his eldest son. In some major events, he becomes more and more admirable. The more he trusts his resourceful son's ideas.
He glanced at the heads of the People's Army gathered together and asked loudly: "Xiao Liuzi, what do you think of this matter?"
Zhang Hanqing said without hesitation, "Hit!"
Being tough on Japan was Zhang Hanqing’s own policy. He also remembered the world economic crisis two years later. It was under the stimulation of that crisis that Japan moved toward national militarization and used aggression to resolve its domestic economic decline. The targets of this aggression are weak China and Northeast China.
At the same time, the Soviet Union in the north turned the crisis into an opportunity, made full use of this rare disadvantageous situation in capitalist society, and introduced the surplus industrial capacity of many countries, led by the United States, laying the foundation for the economic take-off of Soviet society. With each increase and decrease, China is moving further towards poverty and backwardness.
If it goes as planned, after China and Japan go through a painless war that will mainly be limited to Northeast China or Korea, they can complete the armistice in Korea with cruel or unbearable losses for Japan, or It can delay Japan’s pressure on China and win a longer period of peaceful development!
The key to this strategy is to inflict very heavy losses on Japan in the war, and China must show very uncompromising resilience and the ability to inflict sustained heavy losses on Japan, so that the Japanese government will realize China's power, or You can fight for peace.

Chapter 852 Fighting
After many years of construction, China's rapid growth in strength gave Zhang Hanqing a strong urge to regain its territory. This was not only a matter of national blood, but also because the Japanese occupation of Kanto Prefecture was like a choke in the throat, and the Chinese government was stuck for a long time. It is not considered by the great powers to be a big country that can stand on an equal footing with them, and it has been containing most of China's energy and military strength in the Northeast.
After the national strength gradually increased, Zhang Zuolin's government began to change from "tolerance" towards Japan to "toughness". The wealth is strong, the waist is strong and the heart is strong. With nearly two million navy, land and air force at hand, it is time to drive little Japan out of China.
Zhang Hanqing said calmly to the high-level people of the Kuomintang gathered together: "Punch away with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches. Japan, which is the weakest among the great powers, appears first. We must devote all our efforts to give it a heavy blow." Attack - this is a touchstone. We cannot afford to lose, nor can we retreat. Once defeated or retreated, other powers will reach out to us.
I believe that since we have so many troops who have fought in actual combat and have a strong logistics and industrial base, we will definitely win. The key is how far the battle will go?
My opinion is to inflict pain on the Japanese until the troubles of the Bohai Bay and the Northeast are completely resolved! Beat them until they dare not challenge us again within ten years, and give China a golden decade of economic construction! With this battle, the northern territory and territorial waters were completely recovered and guaranteed.
To be honest, I don’t want to fight at this time. If we wait another three years and wait until our navy and air force have made great progress before fighting, our comprehensive military strength with Japan will be much smaller. The Japanese have no choice but to take action at this point - they also know that in a few years, it will not be whether they want to attack us, but whether we will take the initiative to look for them.
But there are also benefits to playing early. Firstly, we can carry out construction with peace of mind, and secondly, it also prevents the Japanese from going north. The sea is the strong point of the British and Americans. It’s time to let them go dog-eat-dog. The Chinese nation has suffered enough!
Dealing with the Japanese Army is not a big problem, even the Shenyang Military Region alone is enough, but to confront its powerful maritime power, we need to take it seriously. The General Staff Headquarters can order the mobilization of various heavy artillery units to places around the Bohai Sea, Qingdao and other places to strengthen coastal defense capabilities.
Of course, in order to paralyze Japan and keep a low profile, I suggest loosening up external forces and tightening up internal forces. We should not use the front-line troops along the coast for now, but transfer some troops from the interior.
Didn’t the ‘Beidahuang Construction Corps’ have a scale of hundreds of thousands of people? very good! Arm yourself nearby. There are veterans among them who have experienced hundreds of battles, and they can resolutely obey the party's instructions and switch from military to civilian affairs. This is commendable. They are very enthusiastic about defending the Northeast and China. As long as they are properly equipped with some weapons, they will be a steel army!
“ In this way, even if the war in the north expands, the military strength in East and South China will not shrink, and it will also stop some countries from taking advantage of the situation and allow us to concentrate on the war in the Northeast.
While mobilizing troops, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must make it clear to all parties that we are in a passive war situation. ‘The soldiers who mourn will surely win’. They provoked first and exchanged fire first, but it is up to us to decide how large the scale of the fight will be, how long the fight will last, and how it will end! "
In accordance with the resolution of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the People's Party, Foreign Minister Gu Weijun urgently summoned the ambassadors or charge d'affaires of the United States, Britain, France, Japan, Germany, the Soviet Union and other countries to respond to the Japanese army's atrocious act of invading Chinese territory and massacring border guards in Zhanggufeng. condemned it and called on all major powers to mediate and asked the "League of Nations" to exert influence on Japan to promote peace in the Far East.
"The League of Nations" is naturally unreliable, as Zhang Hanqing, who is familiar with history, naturally knows. This predecessor of the United Nations, which originally served imperialism, has never provided any beneficial or even moral support to China except its continued appeasement of Japan.
"However, his raising the banner of the "League of Nations" is just a guise. The purpose is to show the world that China is unwilling to fight. If the war escalates, it will be forced on China by Japan. In this way, the outside world cannot point fingers at China's possible future plans in North Korea. Everything is forced and develops naturally. There are reasons for the future situation.
To this end, the "League of Nations" held a meeting of the parties to the "Washington Treaty" in Brussels to discuss the situation that had developed in the Far East. The meeting was attended by the United Kingdom, the United States, China, France, etc., but Japan refused to attend the meeting.
At this meeting, the Chinese delegation requested the Brussels Conference to make a resolution on imposing economic sanctions on the aggressors and providing assistance to China. From China's perspective, the Japanese would not be able to fight even a medium-sized war without the support of foreign countries.
As the Chinese delegation solemnly stated: “If all member states of the League of Nations impose economic sanctions on Japan, it will be a means to stop the aggressor, because about three-quarters of Japan’s raw material imports come from the United Kingdom.?, United States, China, Netherlands, Indonesia, France, Indochina. The important strategic raw materials needed by Japan, such as iron sand, lead, tin, manganese, etc., are almost entirely dependent on imports from the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Netherlands."
However, the proposal on sanctions did not receive support from France, Britain and the United States.
These major powers have been brewing a feud between Japan and the Soviet Union to restrict the development of the Soviet Union as a socialist country in the East. They are also unwilling to take practical measures such as economic sanctions against Japan. They are afraid that these measures will worsen relations with Japan and damage Japan's focus on its hatred of the Soviet Union. , interfered with Japan's strategy and war preparations for attacking the Soviet Union, and caused the United States and others to abort Japan's war against the Soviet Union.
Therefore, the United States and other Western countries continue to condone Japan's aggression and expansion in North China.
Another important factor is that China's rapid development has brought strategic pressure to them. If China is weakened by this war, they will be happy to see it happen.
Therefore, French Foreign Minister Delbot said in his speech: "No mandatory resolution can effectively and satisfactorily resolve the mutual relations between China and Japan legally and factually."
Britain and France spoke from the same nostril, and DeVos, the head of the U.S. delegation, quickly echoed Delbo's opinion. In the end, the Brussels Conference only adopted a declaratory resolution, stating that Japan's actions in China violated the Nine-Nation Washington Convention and recommending that Japan cease military operations, but did not stipulate any measures to deal with the aggressors.
Japan figured out the intentions of the United States, Britain and France, so it shouted anti-Soviet and anti-communist movements, and took measures to worsen Soviet-Japanese relations, including attacking the Soviet border, to show that it was the main force that the United States, Britain and France must rely on and could attack the Soviet Union nearby; On the other hand, they dare to aggressively expand and cause trouble in Northeast China and North China.
Japan believes that the United States, Britain and France dare not take actual actions to punish Japan for its aggression in China. They must rely on Japan, the main force that can attack the Soviet Union nearby. It is precisely because of the indulgence of the United States and others that Japan recklessly displayed force in Northeast China when it was obviously weaker than China.
The most hateful thing is the United States.
Historically, the United States not only continued to condone Japan's aggression and expansion, providing arms and equipment to Japan, but even when the Japanese Army proposed the notorious "Tanaka Memorial" in 1927, which was blatantly attacking China, the United States also provided a large amount of supplies to Japan's munitions industry. Investment to help Japan establish a modern military industry:
For example, the American Ford Company provides Japan with modern metallurgical technology; the Rockefeller Foundation helps Japan establish a new electrical industry; and the Mellon Foundation helps Japan further modernize its aircraft manufacturing industry.
At that time, the United States believed that this was mainly a war preparation plan for the Soviet Union, and agreed that various consortiums would continue to provide practical support for the Japanese Army's military expansion and war preparations in the form of loans to Japan and the supply of strategic materials.
This corresponds to a sentence: "There are no long-term friendships between countries, only permanent interests."
But the "friendship" between the U.S. government and China must also be reflected and China must be given an explanation. Not long after, on August 14, the United States announced a ban on the export of weapons and military equipment loaded on American ships (mainly targeting China and Japan).
At first glance, the United States seems to be very neutral and fair, not using American ships to provide arms procurement services for either warring party. However, this policy first treats the aggressor and the invaded equally, which does not reflect the "justice" of the United States and the US government's claim that "the United States is China's most steadfast and powerful strategic ally."
If nothing else, this policy suits the requirements of Japan, which has a powerful navy, because when the Japanese navy controls the seas between China and Japan, Japanese ships can load weapons, military equipment and other strategic materials from the United States unimpeded.
The Japanese navy, which controls the sea, has blocked China's coast. Even if China buys weapons and equipment in the United States, it does not dare to use Chinese ships to transport them (unless it hopes to avoid interception by Japanese ships). It can only rent American ships that Japan does not dare to inspect. Waiting for national ships.
In order to "solve" this loophole, the United States created new arms trade regulations, prohibiting the chartering of U.S. ships to transport weapons purchased in the United States (only U.S. ships can be chartered to transport non-weapons goods purchased in the United States), so that Japan can still obtain U.S. weapons and military equipment, but China has difficulty obtaining U.S. weapons and military equipment.
This completely blocks the help China may receive from the United States.
As an example, on November 1, 1928, the U.S. State Department informed the American Aircraft Company that the U.S. government did not agree to sell aircraft and aircraft parts to countries that were conducting indiscriminate bombings. This is the famous "moral embargo."
But "after the 'moral embargo', American monopoly capitalists instead increased their exports to Japan. For example, this year, the value of the aircraft sold by the United States to Japan was US$2.484 million, and after the so-called 'moral embargo' was implemented in 1929 In 2008, the value of the aircraft sold by the United States to Japan increased to US$17.454 million. This example is enough to illustrate the hypocrisy of the Coolidge government's so-called "moral embargo."
As a cover, on October 5, President Coolidge issued a speech calling for the establishment of a "peace front" against the aggressors, as evidence of the United States' support for China's war against Japan.
But President Coolidge did not dare to name the invaders in his speech, nor did he dare to offend Japan too much. At the press conference the next day, someone asked: Does the term "peace front" mean economic sanctions?
President Coolidge initially responded, "No, not necessarily," then simply said, "No." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)However, the value of the aircraft sold by the United States to Japan increased to US$17.454 million.

Chapter 854: The big knife cuts off the heads of the Japanese (Part 1)
??
This is of course a trap carefully laid by the Northeast People's Army Headquarters.
On the night when the Japanese army was excited, the 30th Army of the People's Army crossed the Tumen River from Kaishantun and penetrated behind the Japanese army. After arriving at Sambong-ri in North Korea, they quickly divided the troops into two groups and marched all the way southeast to Xisuluoli, cutting off the passage from the mouth of the Tumen River to the Sea of ??Japan. They were executed by the 88th Division; one route went straight south, interspersed along the railway to the largest road in northeastern Korea. The seaport city of Chongjin was executed by the 89th Division of the 30th Army.
The task of encircling and annihilating Sato Yuji historically fell on the head of the 34th Army of the Chengdu Military Region, which arrived early. On the front starting from Mijianghe in the north and ending at Zhanggufeng in the east, the 34th Army set up an iron barrel formation. In accordance with the deployment of the Northeast People's Army Headquarters and taking advantage of the Japanese army's "tradition" of not being accustomed to night fighting, the People's Army decided to launch an attack on the Japanese army at night.
The 34th Army came from central Sichuan, which was originally difficult to travel to, so it set off early when Sino-Japanese relations deteriorated. Unexpectedly, it arrived first, much earlier than the Wuhan Military Region. There is no other way. To resist foreign aggression, the Sichuan Army has always been the first!
Because troops are valuable and fast, Han Linchun's energy is no longer to encircle and annihilate the enemy forces entering China, but to strictly implement Zhang Hanqing's previous decision to use North Korea as the main battlefield from a strategic perspective. At the same time that the Sato Regiment entered the Chinese territory, it was the gap between the 30th Army of the People's Army and the 34th Army that had not yet prepared for deployment.
Because we did not expect the war to happen so suddenly, the heavy weapons and main force of Jing Dewen's 34th Army were still in Changchun and Mudanjiang. The entire army also rushed to the deployment position when it heard the news that Japan had invaded in large numbers just after it arrived in Changchun.
Among the two divisions under its jurisdiction, one was originally the 101st Division that remained from the direct troops of Yang Sen of the Sichuan Army, and the other was the newly formed 100th Division transferred from the old Northwest Army. The division commander and deputy commander is the famous General Zhao Dengyu in official history. . At this time, the 100th Division was closest to the Japanese army and was the first to be deployed to the front line of the battle.
On how to start the first war between China and Japan, Jing Dewen had other plans. He was a general brought out by Zhang Hanqing, so he naturally followed Zhang Hanqing's style of seeking stability in war - actually it was not stability, but Zhang Hanqing knew that his military literacy was limited and he had to consider many aspects before the war. But because he has won many battles, his foresight and foresight have become "stable" in the eyes of his subordinates. Is it an unexpected surprise?
In his opinion, if the Sichuan Army cannot fight well against these more than 3,000 Japanese troops, the reputation of the Sichuan Army will be completely lost. Therefore, he said: "I suggest that we first surround this Japanese army with the advantage of many troops, and then wait for the heavy weapons to be obtained and carry out a annihilating blow. It will be safer! In the first battle out of Sichuan, I hope to win the jackpot, haha."
He tried to use a relaxed tone to lower the pressure of his subordinates, which was imitating Zhang Hanqing's practice; brainstorming for battle was also Zhang Hanqing's favorite. It's just that Zhang Hanqing has a "general style" when doing it, but what comes out of his mouth seems very jerky.
This is because the pressure of being the first to fight the enemy is all on him. Whether he becomes a national hero or a criminal on the battlefield, it all depends on him. If he hadn't been a military officer, he would probably have been given the vivid term "painted tiger-like dog", right?
Zhao Dengyu objected: "Commander, the Japanese army formed several battles in a row, and it was arrogant and unprepared. This is a good opportunity for a sneak attack. And if we wait for the arrival of heavy weapons and the main force, how can we not guard against so many people's troops appearing around the Japanese?"
Since the Japanese currently have heavy artillery and other main weapons, once the Japanese army discovers its unfavorable situation, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not fall into a deadly battle, or it may rush back to the Korean territory south of the Tumen River, threatening the logistics line of our troops crossing the river. Even if we win the final battle, our army will suffer heavy casualties in the early stages. On the contrary, the cost of a sneak attack would be smaller, and it might be able to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army when it was panicking. "
This northwest army was temporarily "infiltrated with sand" in order to balance the strength of the warlords in central Sichuan. It is far away in Sichuan, and its equipment is far inferior to that of the People's Army of the other seven military regions. However, their hard-working spirit and tenacious fighting style, It is considered to be the best among the people's army. These officers and soldiers, from the Northwest Army to the 34th Army, used the Japanese army as the imaginary enemy during their usual training.
When they were ordered to be transferred from Chengdu to Heilongjiang Province to defend the northeastern front line and prepare to fight against Japan, all the officers and soldiers were full of patriotic enthusiasm and high morale.
Before the war, superiors listened carefully to the suggestions of lower-level commanders and fighters. This was a fine tradition of the People's Army and was inherited by Zhang Hanqing. For him, since he was a young leader, in order to reach a consensus with the military veterans, he had no choice but to adopt this high-level attitude of "listening" - you are a part of the decision-making, and there must be no mistakes in the execution. .
But in the subsequent battles, he found that the benefits of doing so were really obvious: first, the officers' suggestions were of great benefit in brainstorming and improving the combat plan; in fact, because everyone participated in the military plan, it was very difficult to implement it. You can also understand the superior intentions from a higher level.
And every time after a war, officers at all levels must be summoned to discuss the gains and losses of the battle, and to identify the characters.?A suicide squad used the night to disrupt the enemy's formation, knock down the Japanese artillery positions, and reduce casualties for the main force to eat them later. This will be a life-or-death attack. Who dares to lead the team? ! "
"I come!"
"I attended!"
The scrambling situation made Zhao Dengyu burst into tears. With such good soldiers, is China still afraid that it will not win this war?
With great difficulty, we finally selected a scale of 500 people: it’s not that we couldn’t find people, but that there were too many people who signed up and we simply couldn’t handle it. At that time, the Chinese soldiers' greatest wish was to defeat Japan. Under the continuous influence of the People's Party, people hate the Japanese more and more. Finally, we have this opportunity to kill the enemy with our hands, why not fight for it? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 855: The big knife cuts off the heads of the Japanese (Part 2)
Reconnaissance revealed that most of the Japanese army was stationed in Huichun County. There was a cavalry regiment (the Japanese cavalry regiment numbered 452 people) and an infantry brigade in the north of the city, and there was an artillery brigade on the river bank in the south of the city. The main force is stationed in the county town. To this end, the People’s Army has made the following deployments:
With the starting point of destroying the enemy's cavalry units and heavy artillery units, the Broadsword Team was organized into Dong Shengtang Regiment and Wang Changhai Regiment respectively, and acted as planned. Zhao Dengyu led the remaining regiment to respond. He was determined to take advantage of the Japanese army's inability to fight at night and attack at night!
That night, before the big sword team set off, Zhao Dengyu personally saw off the 500 warriors. Facing these fearless warriors, Zhao Dengyu was very moved. Years of combat experience told him that not many of these 500 warriors would come back alive.
Five hundred warriors passed by Zhao Dengyu one by one. Suddenly, a squad leader named Hou Wanshan knelt down in front of Zhao Dengyu, with tears streaming down his face.
Damn it! There is such a person? Zhao Dengyu said sternly to the squad leader: "Why are you crying and kneeling? Are you a Chinese soldier or a man from the northwest? If you are afraid of death, just find someone else!"
With tears in his eyes, Hou Wanshan said to Zhao Dengyu: "Commander, I am not afraid of death. We will not be ambiguous in fighting the Japanese. But my wife is about to give birth. If I die for the country this time, I beg the commander for his sympathy. I I’ll die with peace of mind!”
After hearing this, Zhao Dengyu was moved and said to Hou Wanshan: "You can go with peace of mind. Your son is my son. The country and the 100th Division will never forget you."
Then he said to the 500 warriors: "Brothers, go first, we will definitely take good care of your families!" Then he solemnly saluted the 500 warriors with a military salute. Hou Wanshan had already stood up, returned a military salute to Zhao Dengyu and the others, and rushed to the front line without looking back.
That night, the sky was bright and bright, which was a good opportunity for night fighting. There is a Japanese cavalry unit camping here, the streets are full of horses, and the Japanese soldiers are sleeping soundly.
The broadsword team quickly eliminated the Japanese sentries, brandished their broadswords, and rushed into the Japanese barracks. First they threw a burst of hand grenades, and then took advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army to kill them with a machete. The Japanese army was caught off guard, and many people fell victim to the sword in a daze. The Broadsword Team took advantage of the chaos to set fire again. Seeing the light of the fire, other Japanese troops came to reinforce them.
However, at night, the Japanese heavy artillery was ineffective. Although Japanese soldiers received assassination training from the time they joined the army, they could not take any advantage in front of the heroic broadsword team of the 100th Division.
While Dong Shengtang's regiment was fighting a fierce battle with a large number of Japanese troops, Wang Changhai's regiment also rushed to the enemy's artillery position in the south of the city. The Broadsword Team once again showed its prowess, seizing the enemy's position in one fell swoop, killing more than a hundred sleeping Japanese artillerymen, and capturing a large amount of artillery and ammunition.
The attack by the two troops surprised the Japanese army. They quickly mobilized a large number of troops to counterattack, but they were mixed in the Japanese army circle and the Japanese army's light and heavy weapons were unable to fire.
The Blade Team, which was at a numerical disadvantage, was not afraid and continued to fight hand-to-hand with the Japanese army. Subsequently, the Broadsword Team burned the Japanese army's supplies of food and grass, blew up the captured artillery and armored vehicles, and withdrew from the battlefield under the cover of follow-up troops. The Japanese army suffered about 500 casualties, and the People's Army, led by the Broadsword Team, suffered 200 casualties (killed in action). Huichun won a complete victory in its first battle.
In this campaign, Hou Wanshan was awarded second-class merit for his bravery in combat, was promoted to platoon leader and joined the party at the front line.
Since its establishment, the Kwantung Army has never had a formal contest with the Fengjun or the People's Army. What they face every day are Chinese armed police, and the Chinese police will never find trouble with them first. Such a habit Once it becomes a tradition, it can be deadly in times of war.
Even though they invaded Huichun this time, they still took off their clothes to sleep at night, their security was lax, and they were extremely arrogant.
This battle set a precedent for the broadsword team to attack the Japanese army at night, and dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army. After this attack, everyone in the Japanese army slept with their clothes on, and some even wore helmets at night to prevent being beheaded.
??Chinese heroes often say that if you die, your ears will die, "If your head falls off, it will only have a scar as big as a bowl." The Japanese soldiers of this era were still very effective in combat. They were all deeply inspired by the spirit of Bushido. They were not afraid of death at all, but why were they afraid of beheading? Could it be that beheading would be more painful than being shot to death?
In fact, the Japanese are afraid of beheading, because it is said that the soul cannot return to their Yasukuni Shrine!
This news from the political departments at all levels of the army made the People's Army participating in the war particularly excited. After hearing about the method of the Broadsword Team, other troops requested to add a Broadsword Team to their own army in order to facilitate the cutting down of Japan. The head of a soldier cannot be reincarnated even if he dies!
In fact, for fighting, isn’t it faster and better to use guns and cannons? This shows how much the Chinese army hates the Japanese!
If the Japanese army knew that they lovedHow would you feel if Zhenbao’s head turned out to be a morale-boosting weapon for the People’s Army?
Since all the Japanese scouts on the periphery were wiped out, the Japanese commander Colonel Oda could not effectively judge the situation of the People's Army. However, judging from the process of the night attack, the firepower of the "China Army" on the opposite side was not strong, and the people of Northeast China remained silent all night. He believed that the sound of 75mm cannons often heard by the military was a sneak attack by local security forces under the Heilongjiang Military Region of China.
It was such a misjudgment that caused irreparable destruction to his troops.
In order to restore the dignity of the Japanese Locust Army and to relieve himself of his failure, early the next morning, he ordered a reconnaissance advance to the Mijiang River north of Huichun. However, the forwards failed to go too far, and the intensive gunfire slowed down the Japanese soldiers.
This is a temporary fortification that was urgently built by the people of the Third Regiment of the 100th Division in one day after the Broadsword Team delayed the Japanese movement. Although the firepower is not fierce enough, against the Japanese army, which also does not carry heavy firepower, it is still a battle advantage to wait for work and defend against attack.
One of the reasons why the Japanese army did not bring heavy firepower was that the water network here was dense and transportation was inconvenient; another reason was that they underestimated the enemy - they did not expect that Chinese soldiers would dare to attack them, and they did not expect that they would encounter hard problems.
At night, the Broadsword team attacked again and gained again.
The broadsword team of the 100th Division gave the Japanese army a headache. For this reason, they used every trick to equip each soldier with an iron bib.
During the second battle at Mengziling, the Chinese army was surprised to find that all the Japanese soldiers were wearing iron scarves! However, the thick iron scarf greatly weakened the Japanese's combat flexibility, and the casualties were even more severe.
The Japanese generals repeatedly lamented that this battle had destroyed "the reputation of the Locust Army." After the Japanese army returned to Huichun, when commemorating the fallen soldiers, they declared that this was an "unprecedented humiliation" since the Japanese army invaded China.
A Japanese newspaper commented: "Since Emperor Meiji established his army, the reputation of the Locust Army has been completely lost outside Huichun City, and it has suffered an insult unprecedented in fifty years."
One of the consequences of this battle was that the Imperial Order faction that later came to power abandoned the flashy Western-style command swords in 1934, and officers all switched to Japanese-style sabers to cope with the situation. As a result, the magnetic saber caused many aircraft compasses to malfunction, causing many things to happen. This is a story later.
The reputation of the broadsword is the result of General Zhao Dengyu leading his troops to cut down the Japanese invaders with sword after sword and bloody swords! After this battle, the heroic deeds of the Broadsword Division spread throughout the motherland, which greatly inspired the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of soldiers and civilians across the country. Ms. He Xiangning wrote several poems in succession to praise the achievements of the 100th Division, including "Ode to the Broadsword", saying:
"Great skill is like clumsiness with a broadsword,
The great new is as good as the old.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????
The enemy should not flee within ten steps. "
After Zhang Hanqing learned about the deeds of the Broadsword Team, he blurted out: "Long live the 100th Division!" This voice later made the reputation of the 100th Division "Long Live the Division" spread throughout the country.
Zhang Hanqing, who was famous for his "frequent" famous poems in the poetry circles of the Republic of China, was not to be outdone, and composed a piece of music "improvised", which immediately became popular and spread all over the country. It has become another national anthem passed down through the ages. The revolutionary song "March of the Broadsword":
"The broadsword cuts off the heads of the devils. Brothers, fully armed, the day of the war of resistance has come, the day of the war of resistance has come!
“There are the People’s Army of the Northeast in front, and the people of the whole country behind us. Our People’s Army is not alone.
??Look at the enemy and destroy it! Destroy it! Go! Slash the Japs on their heads with the big knife, kill them! "
This is the "March of the Broadsword", and its subtitle is - Dedicated to the Broadsword Team of the 100th Division.
Thanks to the efforts of the 100th Division Broadsword Team, the main force of the 34th Army gained the opportunity to encircle the Japanese army. After two unsuccessful charges, Colonel Oda was sensitively aware that the People's Army on the opposite side was far from being as simple as the local security forces. The entire battle was a planned and purposeful attempt to hold back his lone army.
However, it was too late when he realized that the isolated Japanese army had been surrounded by the 34th Army on three sides. On the other side of the Tumen River, the south bank of the river was already densely covered with dark gun barrels——He knew that from then on The possibility of withdrawing to North Korea on the river is almost zero - the artillery regiment of the 88th Division of the 30th Army has already succeeded in the west water of northeastern North Korea and succeeded in a roundabout way, and its retreat has been cut off.
What followed was a completely one-sided battle. The record in Japan’s postwar research on this battle is: “The Japanese soldiers tenaciously withstood the Chinese side’s 10 times their own manpower advantage and fierce artillery fire. Sometimes even a small hilltop turned back. Repeatedly attacked by artillery shells dozens of times the number of our own troops. At the end of the battle, Colonel Oda resolutely committed suicide by caesarean section to show his last loyalty to the emperor. He was accompanied by dozens of physically disabled and strong-minded people. A mid-level and junior officer.”
Although the article tried its best to beautify the posthumous words, the defeat of the Japanese army is a certainty.
In any case, the Zhanggufeng battle left the Japanese army with shock: according to post-war statistics, except for a few Japanese soldiers who crossed Zhanggufeng and fled to the Soviet Union's Poshet grassland, the Japanese and Korean troops A total of 3,418 elite troops were almost wiped out!
With absolute superiority, the People's Army threw the Japanese arrogance into the Tumen River. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Although the article tried its best to beautify the posthumous words, the defeat of the Japanese army is a certainty.

Chapter 856 The war breaks out
After the Battle of Huichun fired the first shot of the Chinese people's resistance to Japan, the Sino-Japanese War has broken out. The news that the Japanese suffered a disastrous defeat at Huichun first spread back to China, causing a strong backlash.
Thinking back to those days, Japan, which had become increasingly prosperous and powerful after the Meiji Restoration, used its strong national power to gradually abolish the unequal treaties signed with Western powers, regain its national sovereignty, and get rid of the crisis of becoming a colony.
Then, with the rapid improvement of economic strength, military power also rapidly strengthened, and then used its meager national power to defeat the powerful powers of the late Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop, establishing its status as a major power in Asia. However, the Qing Dynasty was already a centipede, and the "great achievements" of the Japanese were not recognized by white people. From the perspective of Europe and the United States, the victory of the Japan-China War was just a contest between the yellow race. No matter whether they won or lost, they could not win their approval.
In order to obtain the same treatment as the great powers, the Japanese set their sights on Tsarist Russia, which was also predatory in the Northeast. After paying the tragic death of 50,000 people, the Japanese finally became the victors of the Russo-Japanese War. But this victory came at the cost of nearly a decade of economic stagnation.
The victory of these two wars against two powerful powers in the past, the Qing Empire and Tsarist Russia, brought Japan to the attention of Western powers as an emerging military power, and it became a dominant Asian power for a while; Fukuzawa in history The theory of "Leaving Asia and Joining Europe" proposed by Yu Ji also became a legitimate theory at this time.
Although the Japanese people are of yellow race, they seem to regard themselves as superior to white people. They often use insulting titles such as "sick man of East Asia" or "China people" towards China, which is separated by the water, but they seem to have forgotten or I don't want to admit that Japan itself is part of East Asia.
The national complacency and arrogance have actually pushed the country to an extreme: in Asia, no failure or retreat of existing interests is tolerated, and the entire country has fallen into collective fanaticism.
And suddenly, the Chinese, who were regarded as "sick men" by the Japanese, defeated the overwhelming Japanese army. How could people not be surprised and angry!
The emperor was also angry. It is planned that on November 10, 1928, Emperor Showa will hold an enthronement ceremony, issue an enthronement edict, and hold a grand festival, which means that the emperor and Amaterasu will become one. At that time, the emperor will be a god in human form. At this juncture, nothing could happen that would seriously disappoint him.
He asked the General Staff Headquarters with concern: "Why is the combat effectiveness of our army so poor? Can the Imperial Army still shoulder the important task of expanding borders and defending borders?"
Although the emperor's words were gentle, everyone from the minister of war to the chief of staff felt deep pressure. When this pressure turned into motivation, Japan's war machine began to run rapidly.
From Tokyo to Kagoshima, from Shikoku to Hokkaido, countless Japanese citizens have expressed in various ways the idea of ????teaching the "China dwarfs" a lesson - don't be surprised, this is what the Japanese think.
Prime Minister Tanaka Giichi, who just came to power, has also been under pressure from both inside and outside the government. As a fanatical militarist, why doesn't he want to contribute to the Empire of Japan and seize one colony after another for development? However, the military situation in Northeast China told him that it would be very difficult to defeat the huge Northeast People's Army in the short term.
Not only that, whether the Kanto Prefecture can be saved is still unknown - he never imagined that Zhang Hanqing has a huge appetite, and his eyes have already been set on the Korean Peninsula, which Japan has occupied for many years!
On the day after the Hui Chun incident, in the face of the smooth military progress of the Japanese army, the Tanaka Giichi cabinet was unwilling to pay attention to the pressure from various countries and the truce initiative of the League of Nations. The Ministry of War would not allow politicians to do so under such circumstances. They "manipulated" the Minister of War, and they also hoped to open a road from Huichun and other places to the vast Northeast China and fulfill the long-cherished wish of establishing "Manchukuo" that Japanese politicians of all generations have pursued tirelessly.
However, the development of events took an unexpected turn: in less than half a day, the Chinese army not only annihilated this large force that penetrated deep into China, but also took advantage of the victory to cross the Tumen River, which was crisscrossed by shoals, and headed towards what the Japanese called their backyard. North Korea advanced in depth.
Since the main force of the 19th Division stationed in North Korea was deployed on the line between Pyongyang and Sinuiju, the vast area from northeastern North Korea to the Langlin Mountains was swept by the cyclone of the People's Army in less than a day, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. On August 5, Chongjin, the largest coastal city in northeastern North Korea, was lost.
A steady stream of People's Army troops poured out from the south side of the Yalu and Tumen Rivers. The fastest speed of the People's Army's advance reached 80 miles a day!
When the Kwantung Army Headquarters finally learned that this unit was originally from Jing Dewen of the 34th Army of the Chengdu Military Region, it was just now that he felt, believe it or not, that at least in the Zhang Gufeng incident, the Chinese army was well prepared!
But it was too late. The troops Japan can use in China and Korea are limited, and it is simply unable to divide its forces to control Korea and deal with incoming attacks at the same time.They have never believed that the Chinese, who have always been called the "sick man of East Asia", dare to take the initiative to be tough on the Japanese, so that Northeast Korea, which has a vast depth, was in an almost impossible position at the time of the outbreak. Fortified status.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out of mind, the Chinese people have a great start!
The chaotic Japanese government needs to calm down, and the Japanese military also needs time to rethink its military strategy against China, deploy its troops, and analyze intelligence. This will take a certain amount of time. Therefore, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs urgently made an appointment with Xu Shiying, the Chinese Minister in Japan.
Xu Shiying was transferred from the post of governor of Anhui Province.
He is a democratically elected governor and has always been silent on the People's Party's policy of "People's Party | Leading China". Therefore, he resigned resolutely after the original basis of local autonomy was changed to the leadership of standing committees at all levels. However, Zhang Hanqing admired this group of "non-Party" people and placed them in other positions as much as possible to contribute to the country to the best of their ability.
Because of Xu Shiying’s national integrity, he was asked to serve as the minister to Japan. His original intention was that he could not achieve political power against Japan, so he should use Xu Shiying to disgust these devils.
Xu Shiying fulfilled his mission. After taking office, he visited his old friend, Japanese Prime Minister Reijiro Wakatsuki, and he started by saying clearly: "I have not learned diplomacy and am not good at words. As far as I know, there is a difference between justice and power. Power can be successful for a while, but justice will last forever. Wherever I am, I will argue to the end."
Wakatsuki, who was dismissed first, had to avoid diplomatic matters and focus on reminiscing about the past. He smiled and said: "It doesn't hurt to argue and fight. After the quarrel, we still maintain our friendship."
More than ten days later, Xu Shiying entered the palace to see the emperor. The Emperor hosted a luncheon, during which Chinese music was played. After dinner, while drinking tea in the Peony Hall where the emperor held talks with foreign ambassadors, Xu Shiying said to the emperor: "The emperor is the authority on biology, the monarch of a country, and the master of human happiness. The slightest thought of destroying will destroy the life of the community." , world peace will be affected."
At that time, the emperor echoed: "You should do your best as you say, and I hope the ambassador will work hard."
In the past two years in Japan, Xu Shiying has deeply felt that as China becomes stronger and the facts choke the Japanese people's throats, he also begins to psychologically lean towards the People's Party.
One of the benefits of politically enlightened people is that everything starts from the facts, one is one, and the other is two. He witnessed with his own eyes the changes that the People's Party brought to the country after taking control of China and its impact on the international community, and therefore expressed the idea of ??joining the People's Party.
The young marshal who had shared hardships with him readily agreed to be his introducer to join the party and instructed him to work hard to create a good environment for detecting intelligence for the Japan Bureau of the Ministry of National Security. This is a good opportunity to serve the country and the party. Doesn't Xu Shiying have the enthusiasm of "a scholar will die for his confidant"? He worked more diligently and collected intelligence extensively, laying a good foundation for the Chinese government to know about Japan and formulate policies toward Japan accordingly.
This time a big event happened in Huichun, and he was actually very happy. He knows a little about China's national policies and the country's military capabilities. He believes that as long as the People's Party can unite all forces, it is certain to defeat Japan.
From the beginning of the conflict to the Huichun incident, he has been paying attention to Japan's domestic developments. According to his understanding of Japan, this incident will not go well. The meeting with the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is just a delaying measure.
However, he still said things like "I hope the two countries will stop fighting, temporarily return to the camp, and organize a joint investigation team" in a loose tone, because he also received domestic instructions: leave some time for the mobilization of the People's Army.
So, contrary to the surging murderous intent, the diplomats of China and Japan began a very friendly conversation, and both sides returned happily. But behind this is China's emergency preparations and Japan's tense situation.
Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has begun to vigorously learn from the West. In terms of army building, the Prussian model became a model for the Japanese army, and the division system was also modeled on the German model. In 1888, the Japanese Army renamed the six original territorial divisions in the country into divisions, with numbers from first to sixth. In 1891, a Guards Division was established to guard the palace.
The division is organized into two brigades and four infantry regiments (equivalent to regiments), plus artillery, baggage and cavalry regiments. The number of troops in peacetime is 10,000, and the full strength in wartime is more than 20,000. These seven old divisions established before the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1895 were later regarded as first-class units by the Japanese Army, and their equipment was given priority.
From the Sino-Japanese War to the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army established the 7th to 18th divisions. After occupying North Korea, the 19th and 20th Divisions were established to suppress the resistance of the local people. Considered a second-class division by the Japanese army. During the "Taisho Disarmament", 4 such divisions were disbanded, and the remaining 10 were together with the original first-class divisions, a total of 17. These were the "standing divisions" of the Japanese army before the war.
Among these 17 divisions, the one deployed in Taiwan is the 14th Division, which is stationed in Northeast China - that is, the main force of the Kwantung Army is the 2nd Division, and the 19th and 20th Divisions are stationed in North Korea.
In the early years of the Republic of China, when the warlords were at war with each other, these small numbers of troops were enough to meet the challenges of any faction. In fact, when the country was in ruins, how could any warlord dare to stroke the beard of a tiger? Touch the Japanese's dragon face?
However, under the leadership of Zhang Hanqing, the speed at which the Feng Clan took over China shocked the Japanese, and they lacked the means to adapt. Coupled with the turmoil of a series of domestic events, by the time it turned its attention to China itself, the Chinese People's Party had firmly grasped state power, and the strategic situation of China being strong and Japan being weak was irreversible.

Chapter 857 The Courage of the Chinese People
To be honest, Japan was not ready for a war with China. It can also be seen from official history: after the "Huanggutun Massacre", Daisaku Kawamoto, the main planner, was ordered to resign in order to This quelled the anger of the big bosses in power over the Kwantung Army's lawlessness, which at least showed that this incident was not tolerated by the Japanese political circles.
Historically, the "Outline of the Plan for Solving the Manchuria Question" formulated by the Japanese Military Ministry in June 1931 was to invade Northeast China by force in 1932 after preparations; the Kwantung Army launched the "September 18 Incident" without informing the Military Ministry in advance. Report.
Japan's Wakaki Cabinet at the time was basically opposed to the "September 18 Incident" launched by the Kwantung Army. On the second day of the incident, the Japanese Cabinet also formulated a policy of "not escalating the incident", requiring that the incident not be expanded and prohibiting the Kwantung Agency (Japan) from The government agencies stationed in Kwantung Prefecture) and the Manchurian Railway Company participated in the incident. The Kwantung Army troops in Liaoning were concentrated in Shenyang, and the Kwantung Army troops in Jilin were concentrated in Changchun.
Minister of War Minamijiro and Chief of Staff Norizo ??Kanaya also jointly ordered the commander of the Korean Army, Hayashi Senichiro, to be on standby and not to reinforce the Kwantung Army.
On September 25th, the Japanese representative also announced the Japanese government's policy to the "League of Nations": Japan has no territorial ambitions towards China; Japan's military operations are to protect local Japanese residents; the Japanese army will immediately Start retreating.
Although the subsequent development of the situation caused fundamental changes in Japan's political policy, at least one thing is certain: Japan is not actually ready for a full-scale invasion of China. China is so huge that Japan cannot swallow it in the short term.
Therefore, Japan deliberately set up "Manchukuo", and after six years of digestion, it dared to launch a new round of aggression again. At this time when China's strength is greatly enhanced, Japan dares not to think too hard.
Therefore, the Japanese never dreamed that China would launch such a large offensive first. With little power to fight back, the Kwantung Army was actually surrounded in the hinterland of China; while the two North Korean divisions failed to form a strategic offensive at all. Or the choice of defense, the commander of the 19th Division, Juichi Terauchi, was still in the country reporting on his duties at this time.
"Transporting troops from the country to North Korea is not only a long way, but also slow and inconvenient. Compared with the convenient railway lines in Northeast and North China, Japan's transportation disadvantages are clearly visible.
In order to maximize the time for Japanese reinforcements, the new Japanese Ambassador to China Yoshizawa Kenkichi, an old friend who grew up with the Fengzhi, was ordered to issue an ultimatum to the Chinese government, requiring the People's Army that crossed the border to immediately return to its original station, and then "China and Japan" Military conflicts between the two sides can be resolved through diplomatic means."
How could Zhang Hanqing be fooled by such a low-level strategy to delay the attack? The Chinese Northeastern Army caught the Japanese by surprise through defensive counterattacks. If the fruits are not harvested in time, once the Japanese recover, they will inevitably have a bloody battle with China in order to restore the "dignity" of the Locust Army for many years. Since we are going to fight sooner or later, it is better to fight now and fight hard, win and fight skillfully!
He instructed Foreign Minister Gu Weijun: "If the People's Army returns to its garrison, the Japanese should withdraw from Taiwan and Dalian Bay, which invaded and occupied our country. This condition should be confirmed in the form of a Japanese announcement. During this period, the Japanese troops stationed in Dalian Bay should be put down Weapons and accept the presence of Chinese troops, otherwise, the People’s Army’s march will never stop!”
Yoshizawa Kenkichi said in a stern voice: "Mr. Marshal, you must know that the dignity of the Japanese Empire cannot be taken away. You must bear all the disastrous consequences that will occur!" He was furious. Later, Even the usual honorifics in Japanese are no longer used, and "you" is used directly instead of the "you" at the beginning.
Zhang Hanqing snorted. What disastrous consequences? It is nothing more than an all-out war between China and Japan. Zhang Hanqing thought very clearly that when China has full advantage, as long as the situation is maintained in a long-term stalemate in the upcoming Korean War, Japan will be the first to propose compromise.
He answered Yoshizawa Kenkichi calmly and calmly: "Mr. Ambassador, don't forget that the Chinese people also have dignity. If maintaining this dignity will bring so-called catastrophic consequences, the Chinese people have the ability and courage to face this disaster!"
The powerful words were quickly echoed by the rumbling sound of artillery on the battlefield. With smoke billowing and hoofbeats flying, the biggest battle between rising China and Japan, an established imperialist power, for the right to speak in the Northeast has begun.
The Japanese seem to have ignored China’s many years of achievements in economic and military construction. On the night of receiving the emergency call about the Sino-Japanese conflict, the established Beijing Military Region and the troops of the Chengdu Military Region and Wuhan Military Region who had already left Shu for preparation were dispatched with great speed. Military columns along the Jingjia Line were lined up one after another, bringing combat supplies to Taiping. Sichuan, Da'an, Harbin, and Mudanjiang have supplemented military deployment preparations for Northeast China in the short term.
That night, the People’s Army Headquarters issued the Northeast Military Supreme CommandCarrying a simple luggage bag, we gathered at the designated location and accepted our unknown fate.
Minister to China Kenkichi Yoshizawa and Consul General in Shanghai Shichitaro Yada began to unreasonably request China to set up another place for their overseas Chinese to settle down, but they were flatly rejected by the Kuomintang government.
"I can't touch your embassy or consulate. This is the bottom line of the Chinese people. When the two countries are at war, it is not necessary to kill the envoys. This is tradition. Of course, this was not the case with Japanese soldiers during World War II. An unfortunate incident also occurred at the Chinese Embassy in Nanyang.
But if a dog bites a person, a person can’t bite a dog, right? The Chinese government will definitely provide the treatment and guarantees it deserves, but are there still exceptions on Chinese soil like before? Sorry, everything changed when the gunshot fired!

Chapter 858: Attack with troops
The Japanese 2nd Division took action upon hearing the news and immediately reduced its troops when the Battle of Zhanggufeng began. The remaining South Manchuria Railway military police also withdrew most of them to Kanto Prefecture.
After the defeat of the Huichun battle in Heilongjiang Province, the Japanese army, which responded quickly, huddled in the triangle area from Port Arthur to Pulandian and Wafangdian, in order to delay the attack of the People's Army to the maximum extent and gain time for the arrival of reinforcements.
To be honest, this does bring a lot of trouble to the People's Army: According to Zhang Hanqing's military strategy, Ji Yiqiao's original plan was that the 34th Army that broke into North Korea might join forces with the 14th Army stationed in Dandong. Completely ending the possibility of a future breakout by the 2nd Division.
The Japanese army must mobilize heavy troops to open the only railway bridge on the Yalu River to ensure the retreat to North Korea. At this time, the Japanese army is far away from the Kanto Prefecture base camp and will be under the attack of the 20th Army at the rear. The weak Kanto Prefecture simply cannot By resisting the elite 29th Army of the People's Army's strategic reserve force that would follow up, the last piece of Japanese-occupied territory in mainland China would be easily captured, bringing the gateway to the Bohai Sea under Chinese rule and relieving the worries of those close to them.
As for whether the Japanese army can break through, it depends on the final statement of the Japanese government: If it continues to be tough, the two sides will fight a big war in North Korea to promote peace; if there is a chance to relax, they will be released back to North Korea. China and Japan Taking the customary boundary between China and North Korea as facing each other across the river, we divide the river in the northeast and govern, waiting for the development of the situation.
However, relying on its strong combat effectiveness, the Japanese 2nd Division wanted to be a chess piece embedded in the heart of China, to defend Japan's last colony in mainland China and to prepare for future counterattacks. It has to stand still and wait for reinforcements, but this will create considerable obstacles for the People's Army's future operations.
Indeed, the combat effectiveness of Japanese soldiers is astonishing, not because of how good their weapons and equipment are, but because they have to admire their samurai spirit and fighting spirit that is not afraid of death. This is something that even Americans who are armed to the teeth have palpitations after the war. Especially in the early days of the war, Japanese officers and soldiers were generally well-trained, and it was extremely honorable to shed blood for the emperor.
This kind of thinking makes Japanese soldiers very "brave" in battle, and they rarely take prisoners even when they lose. According to some veteran anti-Japanese soldiers, most of the few Japanese soldiers captured at the beginning were 30-year-old reservists. Young Japanese soldiers often committed suicide after being wounded and captured. In the later stages of the war, it was easy to catch "little devils", that is, young men, to replenish the troops, but their combat effectiveness and resistance were poor.
Some Japanese officers and soldiers and Japanese historians at that time also put forward similar views. One thing in common can be seen from the recollections of those who witnessed the war on both sides. The most powerful units of the Japanese army were the first, second, and part of the fourth divisions, which were mainly composed of young active-duty soldiers.
"Rush to the mountains and let the corpses fill the ravines; head to the sea and let the floating corpses float on the ocean surface"
Among the military songs in the modern world, from which other country can we find a military song like Japan's "Locust Army" that features corpses in every line and blood in every word? The military songs are like this, and so are the slogans. The mantra of Japanese officers and soldiers during the war was "Let's meet again at the Yasukuni Shrine!" Excluding national conflicts and prejudices, such soldiers are terrible.
Zhang Hanqing cannot leave a bomb at his side when the Korean War is determining the trend between China and Japan, and the troops who join the war in Korea must always pay attention to this "surprise soldier" behind them!
War mobilization has begun in Japan, and the Empire's elite 6th Division as reinforcements is also ready to go. Once this elite force lands on Dalian Bay as expected, it will be a longer war on Chinese territory - ——There have been enough disasters left to the Chinese people. We should stay as far away from China as possible. No matter how many enemies there are, Zhang Hanqing does not doubt the final victory of the war.
The cloud of war hangs over the heads of the people of China and Japan.
For the Japanese government, although the idea of ??invading China has been around for a long time, it has only had more intentions and less implementation. It’s not that they don’t want to prepare, but it’s because of the limitations of their national strength and their fantasy that they can win without a fight and reap benefits through the Chinese government’s gradual concessions.
However, they made a wrong calculation. The toughness of the Chinese army not only failed their test in Huichun, but also caused the largest battle damage in more than 20 years after the Russo-Japanese War.
The Chinese army was also unprepared. It was clear that the heavy weapons were not in place for a moment. After all, in "peaceful" times, large-scale military mobilization will allow the Japanese to find excuses, and it is also "wrong" for China to tell them.
"Don't say that "military mobilization is China's own business." This is the Republic of China. It's a time when the great powers are eyeing the fat meat of China. They still have to pick some bones out of the eggs, not to mention the obvious handle?
But now that the mask is torn off, there is no need to hide it. After the Japanese troops along the Beijing-Shenyang line have been eliminated, the Chinese People's Army can mobilize troops from here in an open and honest manner.
Thanks to the improvement of traffic conditions, trains dispatched from all over the country have moved soldiers and weapons from all directions to the Northeast one by one. This isnbsp; After years of operation, the Japanese army has all the defensive equipment. Fortunately, it was a veteran force that had experienced battles for a long time. In a short period of time, it had reinforced its position extremely firmly.
The 17th Destroyer Squadron belonging to the Japanese Navy also anchored out of the port, intending to threaten the People's Army Army logistics line in Liaodong Bay and protect the large number of People's Army Marine Brigades (according to Japanese surveys before the war, China had a total of 4 Marine Corps brigades). ) cannot land behind Japanese positions.
Based on this, Lieutenant General Akai Harumi, commander of the 2nd Division, arrogantly declared that "Kanto Prefecture's defense line is impregnable, and it will definitely not be a problem to defend it for a week!"
The commander of the Kwantung Army, Murakaze Chotaro, also sent a telegram to China saying, "It is advisable to prepare for a large-scale landing battle as soon as possible. Kantung Prefecture will serve as an unbreakable outpost to realize the Manchurian and Mongolian plans and pierce the heart of China like a thorn!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 859 Steel Monster (Part 1)
According to the judgment of the Northeast People’s Army Headquarters, the Japanese army has two ways to support the Kwantung Army domestically:
First, it is the fastest to transport the army to the Port of Busan on the Korean Peninsula by sea, and then use the railway line that runs through the north and south of the island to Pyongyang and then to Sinuiju, the border city of China and North Korea.
However, the People's Army that has penetrated deep into North Korea is making rapid progress. It is still unclear whether Sinuiju can hold or break through the defense line of the People's Army 26th Army in Dandong in the short term. In case the Japanese army fails in the battle on the China-North Korea border , and the reinforcements were unable to go up, it turned into a war of attrition on the China-North Korea border. The Japanese 2nd Division in Kanto Prefecture was unable to quench their thirst and could not provide timely reinforcements.
The second possibility is direct shipping to Dalian Bay. Although it will be two days slower than the railway, Japan relies on its powerful navy, which has a high coefficient of reaching Kanto Prefecture safely and smoothly. Moreover, it can also use the super strong transportation capacity of the sea to provide strategic supplies to the 2nd Division.
Come to think of it, the Chinese army does not have the ability to eat up Japan's first-class elite divisions in a few days. Even Russia in its heyday could not do it. In the official history, all Chinese anti-war armies have not been able to do so. Never did.
Zhang Hanqing has thought about these two paths countless times. The naval gap between China and Japan is not generally large. It is impossible for China to have a head-on confrontation with Japan at sea. The only thing that can be done is to rely on the slightly superior air force to build a solid near-shore defense circle in the Bohai Bay.
Prior to this, all the destroyers of the Bohai Sea Fleet were on standby, and submarines were also deployed in the Yellow Sea, preparing to use the power of air-submarine integration to form a defense in China's offshore waters and stand in a stalemate with the Japanese Navy.
As long as the Japanese navy is firmly limited to the Chinese side of the Yellow Sea, the success or failure of the war in China's Kanto State and Korea will depend to the greatest extent on the army's success.
The longer the confrontation at sea is delayed, the more obvious the disadvantages of the Chinese navy will be.
When the Kwantung Army is still in the heart of China, if it cannot be eradicated as soon as possible, if the naval battle fails and the Japanese army succeeds in assisting, it will inevitably bloom on all sides of Northeast China. Even if China wins, it will definitely be a tragic victory - because this is in In the great war fought on Chinese soil, history will inevitably return to the bloody past that is unbearable to look back on. This is something Zhang Hanqing absolutely does not want to see.
In the face of the unity of the whole country, the whole party, and the whole army, it goes without saying that the enthusiasm of the non-commissioned officers for resisting Japan is high. In any case, this is the first time in decades that the government has launched a comprehensive counterattack against one of the great powers, even if it means dying for the country.
However, because of decades of humiliation, most people in the army have no idea whether they can win this war and how to fight it. In a word, determination to die and doubt about the prospects of victory coexist. In building confidence in victory, the officers of the Political Department of the People's Army played an important role in pre-war mobilization.
Officers and soldiers at all levels of the army have established the belief that China is far behind Japan in terms of strategic sustainability, resources, troop sources and other items. China needs such a victory to stand among the world's great powers, so as to truly stand up!
Moreover, since the Meiji Restoration, no complete Japanese regiment or above has been captured or destroyed in an organized area. If the People's Army can wipe out its entire division in one fell swoop during the battle in Kanto Prefecture, it will surely go down in history forever. And became the clarion call for China to become a military power.
Therefore, after Zhang Hanqing gathered enough manpower, he determined to use superior force to carry out a decisive blow to the Kwantung Army. He must pacify the Northeast in one battle. This would not only break the myth of the Japanese army's invincibility, boost morale, but also completely eliminate the abdominal threat strategically. , laying the foundation for another war and possible future peace talks.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing’s order to Ji Yiqiao was to concentrate superior troops and firepower and launch multiple waves of non-stop regiment-level charges. After preparing for the artillery fire, a battle will determine the outcome at all costs. The tank army, which had been prepared for a long time, also entered the predetermined position, waiting for its debut.
In the early morning of August 6, the Japanese soldiers who were sleeping were suddenly awakened by the thunder-like roar coming from far and near in the sky. Before the panicked Japanese troops could enter the position, the roaring fleet of aircraft poured out bombs and machine gun bullets like raindrops. The roaring muzzles in the distance spewed out streaks of fire, and the smoke and fire swallowed them up. Japanese army position.
This is an almost desperate gamble in which China has concentrated almost all its bombers stationed in Northeast and North China, protected by three fighter groups. On the ground, about 500 cannons were concentrated and roared loudly. 105mm caliber and 75mm caliber howitzers prepared for half an hour of artillery fire, dumping a total of 20,000 tons of artillery shells.
You must know that in the 1920s, on the Sino-Japanese battlefield where the industrial strength was far less than that of Europe, it was unbelievable that such powerful firepower could appear, and of course the scene was also particularly spectacular. The Japanese army's position suddenlyA sea of ??fire.
After finally surviving the continuous bombing and shelling, a horrific scene appeared that the Japanese army would never forget: on the boundless land, more than 300 monster vehicles roared, forming a torrent of steel hundreds of meters wide. , crushing towards the Japanese position in a decisive battle posture.
The thick smoke emitted by this thing is like dark clouds rolling in from the sky, and the ground rolled by the tracks is shaking with the roar. This monster also carried cannons and machine guns, burning the Japanese positions into a sea of ??flames, and its heavy tracks pressed back and forth on the Japanese fortifications.
Many Japanese soldiers knew nothing about this flaming steel monster, and some frustrated Japanese officers even pulled out their command swords and tried to cut the "monster's" throat!
Although the Yamato samurai put up tenacious resistance, many of whom had their bodies covered with grenades and explosive bags, trying to die with the tanks, it was all to no avail.
In the World War II movies shot by the Chinese, as long as there is a confrontation between infantry and tanks, there will usually be heroic soldiers rushing towards the tanks with explosive bags strapped all over their bodies, using their flesh and blood to burn with steel and jade. Only by truly witnessing the scenes of that war can we know that in many cases, real tank battles are not like this, at least not entirely.
As a weapon of assault, tanks had already taken shape during World War I. However, at that time, tanks were only used as a supplement to the infantry, and the infantry was used as cover. In terms of combat theory, it was far from the level reached in the middle and late stages of World War II. Even the European powers thought it was unbelievable for a group of tanks to charge without the protection of infantry. Not to mention Japan, whose army is more than one level lower than Europe.
To be fair, explosive packets and incendiary bottles pose a huge threat to the tank, especially when the tank is initially "thin-skinned" and can be hit almost instantly.
However, due to the sudden nature of the battle using tanks, and the unfamiliarity of Japanese middle and lower-level officers and soldiers with tanks, Zhang Hanqing had no idea where to start when he woke up from the artillery fire that had just stopped. The few soldiers who tried to use "human bombs" were only injured by accident when they were sick and rushed to the doctor. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 860 Steel Monster (Part 2)
??
Due to the large-scale use of tanks, all shooting dead spots have the opportunity to be filled by adjacent tanks. Amidst the continuous and deafening roar of guns and engines, whatever courage the Yamato samurai had was gone, leaving only confusion and death.
The most important thing is that the first round of bombing severely damaged the Japanese army's communication system, causing most of the frontline command system to be paralyzed. Each regiment fell into a situation of fighting on its own, which made the Kwantung Army, which was already at a disadvantage, even worse.
This was the first time that Chinese tanks participated in the war, which shocked the people's officers and soldiers present and made Zhang Hanqing determined to follow the path of armored army development.
Japan actually has tanks, but due to various reasons, its pace is slower.
As a small country, Japan has always attached great importance to the development of heavy equipment. It started research on the localization of tanks very early. It was at the same time that Zhang Hanqing came up with the idea of ??developing tanks, but the actual implementation was two years earlier. This was due to the fact that China and Japan at that time gap in industrial capabilities.
In 1918, Mizutani Yoshizo, a Japanese army transport captain who studied in the UK, purchased two Mark 4 tanks from the UK and returned them to China. This was the first time tanks appeared in Japan. At that time, the Japanese Army was fighting the German army stationed in Qingdao, and the newly arrived tanks brought hope to the Japanese Army.
??Subsequently, Japan introduced the British-made "Greyhound" A medium tank and the French-made "Renault" FF light tank.
In 1920, Japan concentrated several Greyhound A and Renault FF vehicles at the Army Infantry School and Cavalry School to conduct research on tank tactics. This time is roughly the same period as Zhang Hanqing's T-20.
Between 1922 and 1925, a series of international arms limitation treaties were issued, and the Japanese Army was downsized accordingly. Due to the reduction in military expenditures, it is very difficult to purchase tanks from outside, so Japan has begun preparations for the localization of tanks.
On May 1, 1925, 5 "Renault" FF and 3 "Greyhound" A from the Chiba Infantry School in Japan formed a teaching tank convoy. This was the first tank unit established by the Japanese Army. Later, it was established in Kurume, Kyushu Island. The first combat tank force was established.
At this time, due to the effectiveness of Fengjun's confidentiality measures and the lax defense of imperialists against China, Zhang Hanqing's tank unit had actually become an army, benefiting from his decisiveness in developing tanks.
After establishing two tank units, the Infantry School and Kurume, because Japan does not yet have the ability to develop tanks on its own, the Japanese military sent inspection teams to European and American countries to prepare to purchase new tanks and form armored units.
At that time, European and American countries were stepping up their research and development of tanks. Among them, the American "Christie" and the British "Vickers" tanks were the most technologically advanced and the best, so they attracted the attention of the Japanese inspection team.
The Japanese delegation was excited by the wheel-and-track design of the "Christie" tank and the high speed of the "Vickers" tank at 35 kilometers per hour. They asked Christie and Vickers to transfer technology or jointly develop new tanks. In order to obtain more funds, the French also contacted the Japanese and planned to sell a batch of old "Renault" ff tanks at a low price.
The Japanese inspection team was very happy about this business that came to their doorstep, and immediately sent a report to the country. However, when the report was sent to the Japanese Army Ministry, it was opposed by the Japanese Army Ministry's Technical Headquarters. They believe that using old tanks is not conducive to building a new tank force, and they want to independently develop their own tanks.
The Japanese Army Ministry has no confidence in whether it can produce tanks on its own, but the Technical Headquarters has expanded its confidence because it has successfully developed a 3-ton tractor, and believes that it is absolutely capable of producing tanks. In the end, the Japanese army decided to purchase only a small amount of "Reno" from France to maintain training needs, while at the same time stepping up the research and development of Japanese domestic tanks.
This development took three years.
Initially, Japan planned to imitate the "Vickers" mk1 tank, hoping to have a highly mobile tank. But in 1925, multi-turret tanks were the mainstream of tank development in the world, and all countries were vigorously developing tanks with powerful firepower that could accompany infantry in combat. Japan is very fond of its powerful firepower.
At this time, France developed the "Sela" 2c heavy tank. The main turret above the vehicle body was equipped with a 57mm gun, and four 8mm machine guns were installed in the left and right turrets at the rear of the vehicle body, making it capable of 360° shooting. activity steel fortress.
This huge tank shocked Japan greatly. The "Tank Force Equipment Outline" subsequently proposed by the Japanese Army mentioned: "At present, the country's tank troops are mainly equipped with light tanks, and heavy tanks should be added in due course. But in the future, the troops should still use light tanks." Mainly tanks. Currently, the light tanks used in European and American countries are more suitable for my country, but judging from my country's terrain and applicable areas, heavy tanks should be based on 20-ton British tanks."
The 20-ton class is considered "heavy" for Japan. You should know the differences between Japan and Europe in terms of the army.Difference?
Even with this kind of "heavy" tank that is significantly different from others, Japan has been in trouble for a long time. If domestic tanks cannot be produced, the army will naturally have no chance to see its true appearance.
Therefore, for ordinary Japanese soldiers, not only have they never seen tanks, they can also be said to be unheard of. This evil consequence was reflected in the Sino-Japanese war.
In just 2 hours, tanks tore a large hole about 5 kilometers wide and more than 10 kilometers deep in the center of the Japanese frontline position. Countless people's army infantry roared and followed, heading towards the hinterland of the former Japanese Kanto State.
What frightened the Japanese soldiers was that after killing a large number of their own troops, this behemoth made of steel continued to attack the two wings, causing the two sides that were already under frontal pressure to nearly collapse.
Many remnants of Japanese officers and soldiers who were severely shocked even envied the warriors who died at the beginning of the battle. At least, these people did not undergo mental torture before their bodies were destroyed.
As the center and both sides were successively breached, the Japanese front line completely collapsed.
This result not only stunned Lieutenant General Akai, the commander of the Japanese 2nd Division, but even those who watched the battle, such as Zhang Hanqing and Murafaze Chotaro, could not have imagined that the situation was so one-sided.
The battle situation is in chaos, the Japanese army cannot communicate with each other, and the defeat is a foregone conclusion. Even the People's Army, surrounded by huge crowds and after acquiring all the expected tactical positions, most of the divisions took advantage of the chaos and marched forward regardless of the regiment. The regiment could not find the company, which in turn made some Japanese troops plan to organize a counterattack. Disillusionment can be described as an unexpected surprise.
After losing most of their baggage and artillery, the Japanese army was routed across the board to Jinzhou and met up with the 4th Border Guard Corps stationed here.
After losing a large area of ????area, Chotaro Murakaze believed that he could concentrate the already small Kwantung Army to defend here. Relying on Dalian Bay, he could fight the People's Army in a last-ditch battle without having to use infantry to fight the People's Army mechanization on the vast plains. of tanks against each other. Therefore, while actively deploying defenses, while urgently calling the country for help, at the same time summing up the gains and losses of the previous battle, and urgently studying defensive methods.
To be honest, if it is understandable that Japanese middle- and lower-level officers are still unfamiliar with the new thing of tanks that appeared in Europe during World War I, Chotaro Murakaze, who is known as an old-timer in the army, fully understands the value of tanks. The reason why it cannot be as armed as the People's Army is worth pondering. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 861 Steel Monster (Part 2)
Japan is a martial artist. When there was no progress in the development of tanks, his first reaction was not to introduce imitations, but to work harder to sell the Bushido spirit to middle- and lower-level officers, in order to paralyze soldiers who dared to resist modern weapons with their flesh and blood.
So it’s not surprising that there are scenes of soldiers slashing tanks on the battlefield.
Unlike Zhang Hanqing’s plan of “running fast in small quantities”, the flaws of the Japanese’s perfection have begun to emerge: in accordance with the tank plan formulated by its “self-reliance” national policy, the Japanese Technology Headquarters began to formulate a “heavy” tank design plan. In March 1925, Japan's first "tank design plan" was officially released.
Its requirements are not low:
First, the main tank should be able to adapt to positional warfare and mobile warfare;
Second, the artillery and machine guns should have omnidirectional shooting capabilities. Therefore, the tank layout should be such that a 57mm gun is installed in the main turret, and a machine gun is installed in the rotating turrets at the front and rear of the vehicle body. This allows the tank to use 1 machine gun on each side. The door cannon and 2 machine guns attacked simultaneously. Choosing a 57mm gun with a larger explosive shell can play a greater role in supporting infantry operations;
Third, thicken the armor, the main part of which must be able to withstand the 37mm anti-tank guns that are the main equipment of various countries;
Fourth, the maximum driving speed on the highway is 24 kilometers/hour, and the off-road speed cannot be too low. Because the standard armored vehicles at that time could only travel at this level, they could accompany the armored vehicles in combat and provide them with strong supporting firepower;
Fifth, only one driver controls the tank;
Sixth, although the main part is required to withstand 37mm artillery shells, other parts only need to be resistant to bullets and shell fragments;
Seventh, the fuel in the vehicle body must be able to ensure that the tank can travel for 10 hours;
Eighth, provided the above requirements are met, the weight of the entire vehicle cannot exceed 16 tons.
…
In June 1925, after the plan was completed, it only took 11 months for Osaka, Japan to receive the trial production contract and design drawings. The reason why the design was able to be completed in such a short period of time was because Japan copied a large number of the structure and layout of the French "Sela" 2c tank. By the beginning of 1927, all prototypes were completed, which took two years.
With the industrial level of Japan in the 1920s, it was quite difficult to produce a brand new tank in one year and nine months. This tank is called "Trial Production No. 1" by Japan. It can be completed in one year and nine months. In addition to the main manufacturer, Japan's Osaka Factory, which has experience in producing 4-ton trucks, Japan's Kawasaki Motors Division, Kobe Hashi Factory and other Hanshin Regional manufacturers also provided strong support.
It can be said that this tank was jointly built by all Japanese industries. It was built with the efforts of the whole country, but a single company could not afford it. It can be seen that the level of Japan's heavy industry at that time lagged far behind that of European and American powers.
"The total combat weight of the "Prototype No. 1" tank is 18 tons, which is much heavier than the design plan. Mainly to enhance combat capabilities, a three-turret structure was adopted, and various structures were strengthened to improve safety, resulting in a significant increase in the weight of the vehicle.
The tank has a total length of 6.03 meters, a width of 2.4 meters, and a height of 2.43 meters. Including the commander's command tower, the tank reaches 2.78 meters, and the bottom height of the tank is 0.4 meters. It has a crew of 5 and the trench is 3 meters wide. It uses a V-shaped 8-cylinder water-cooled gasoline engine with a maximum power of 140 horsepower.
Since it only lasted more than a year, Japan did not develop a new engine and directly used a high-horsepower gasoline engine produced by the Osaka factory.
"Prototype No. 1" tank has 6 forward gears and 2 reverse gears. Due to the increased weight of the vehicle, the maximum speed failed to meet the design requirements and was only 20 kilometers/hour.
Its main turret is equipped with a 57mm short-barreled cannon with a length of 1.39 meters, a range of 5700 meters, a bomb weight of 2.58 kilograms, and 110 shells. There are 1 7.7mm machine guns in the front and rear turrets of the car body, and 5,000 machine gun bullets. The fire dead zone range is 10 to 20 meters.
The tank has certain protection capabilities, with the armor thickness of the main parts reaching 17 mm, the sides 8 mm, and the bottom 6 mm. The body of the car is reinforced with longitudinal and transverse steel beams, which improves the protection capability of the car body, but greatly increases the weight of the vehicle. However, because its tracks are made of special cast steel and have a turning radius of 11 meters, it can make an in-situ U-turn when using differential transmission.
In February 1927, the "Prototype No. 1" tank, which attracted much attention from the Japanese Army, was completed. In June, it was sent to the Fuji-Susono Exercise Ground in Japan to prepare for field testing. The designers and producers who participated in the test were worried that the failure of the test would affect future work, so they prepared to conduct a private internal test.
" However, the Japanese Army Ministry, General Staff Headquarters, Practical Forces and other units are very concerned about this project. They come to the test site for various reasons such as inspection and study. Eventually the internal testing turned into a public display.
When the "Prototype No. 1" tank drove smoothly in the 7-8 kilometers passage in front of the garage, the Japanese soldiers and scholars who were watching cheered, which made the manufacturers who had been worried about the failure of the test let go.stone.
The next day, the "Trial Production No. 1" tank conducted another off-road capability test. It successfully climbed up a 31° steep slope and passed various obstacles such as Haogou, earthen walls and sandbags. Due to the excellent performance of the new shock-absorbing system, compared with the past "Reno" and "Greyhound" tanks, not only the speed is increased, but the driver also feels more comfortable.
The newly adopted planetary differential gearbox gives it the ability to turn on the spot, and it is easy to operate. Only one driver is needed to control the tank. Therefore, Japanese tanks have always used this control method in the future.
Due to a calculation error in the design, the weight of the entire vehicle reached 18 tons, causing the maximum speed to drop from 25 kilometers per hour to 20 kilometers per hour. However, compared to the "Greyhound" tank, which only has a speed of 8 to 10 kilometers per hour, the "Prototype No. 1" tank is still relatively fast, and it has a tall appearance and drives majestically.
The test ended successfully, which means that Japan has the ability to design tanks, which will have a great influence on Japan's future tank development direction. Japanese high-level officials are not satisfied with the "Prototype No. 1" tank, which is only 18 tons. What European and American countries think is too light, they think is too heavy.
Therefore, this tank has not been put into production. After more than a year of adjustments, the top brass of the Japanese Army requested that the weight of tanks developed in the future should not exceed 10 tons! Following this policy, Japan later designed the Type 89 tank.
The "Trial No. 1" tank went through a series of modifications and became the "Trial 91" heavy tank, and finally developed into the "95" heavy tank. That is to say, by the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army did not have a tank unit that could actually form an army.
The T-20 tank developed by Zhang Hanqing was conceptualized in 1920, took shape in 1922, and became an army in 1924. By the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War, it had already reached a large scale.
After continuous improvement, the final tank has a total combat weight of 15 tons, a maximum traveling speed of 30 kilometers per hour, a maximum armor thickness of 30 mm, and a 57 mm gun with a greater shell explosion power.
? One step is slow, each step is slow.
Zhang Hanqing did not follow the multi-turret tanks currently popular in Western military circles, nor did he envy the "steel monster" with four machine guns all around. Instead, he only asked tank research experts to focus on ease of maintenance and excellent mobility. , protection and attack accuracy, I think this is the trend of future tank development——of course it is the trend!

Chapter 862 Killing is the best respect
??????????????????? But this one requirement laid the foundation for China’s army to become a strong country - it saved so many detours and saved so much research funds! For modern people who are familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of various tank operations during World War II, China, a country with a traditional army, is particularly suitable for impact with numbers.
Isn’t the most advanced and awesome German “Tiger” tank in history overwhelmed by the backward Soviet tanks all over the mountains and plains? Imagine thousands of tanks roaring forward, flanked by your comrades, and you will know that there is no need or time to "bloom on all sides."
The role of tanks lies in strategic detours. In the middle of the rolling torrent of steel, how many people can be bold or have the opportunity to resist individually? Not to mention the infantry following?
The outstanding performance of the T-20 on the battlefield in Guandong Prefecture strengthened Zhang Hanqing's determination to continue to follow the independent and "advanced" path of tank development, and he also deeply understood the meaning of "knowledge is power".
Although the People's Army's offensive was overwhelming, the Japanese's huddled formation still worked.
Although Zhang Hanqing fully understands the tenacity of Japanese soldiers, it is really unimaginable how tenacious they are. Today's younger generation's understanding of history is, in many ways, influenced by post-liberation movies, dramas, novels and other literary and artistic works.
In it, I especially like to describe how Japanese soldiers are good at hand-to-hand combat and bayonet fighting. It seems that the more powerful the Japanese are, the more they can highlight the bravery and good fighting skills of our army.
As for the performance techniques and bloody scenes that portray the Japanese soldiers as very weak-minded and incompetent, on the surface they seem to be vilifying the Japanese soldiers, but in Zhang Hanqing's view, they are an insult to the Chinese anti-Japanese war soldiers and civilians - even such Isn't it the biggest verification of my own incompetence that I have been fighting against an "incompetent" opponent for eight years?
Writing this way, although the artistic appeal will be stronger, and based on the experience of the People's Army on the battlefield of "Kwantung Prefecture", it is true that the Japanese army's "bushido spirit" is stubborn, but from the perspective of military struggle, this is not really the most important thing. , the most important thing is that the Japanese army is very good at "efficient combat."
After all, the tank offensive was limited. On the vast battlefield, after defeating the main force of the Japanese army and disrupting its organic command system, the Japanese army had to fall into a bitter fight of its own.
The situation is overwhelmingly favorable for the Chinese army. Even a group of senior commanders of the People's Army and senior staff members of the General Staff who participated in, watched, and supervised the war all thought invariably after listening to the continuous battlefield reports: Japan Soldiers are nothing more than this.
But the well-trained Japanese soon taught the People’s Army a vivid lesson, at the cost of their lives.
From the equipment point of view, the firepower of the People's Army is very powerful (the first batch of people to participate in the war are the essence of the People's Army, so the equipment is very good). One of their reinforced battalions can actually be equipped with 6 mountain guns and field guns, 2 heavy machine guns, and each company is equipped with 2 to 3 mortars. Each squad is not only equipped with light machine guns, but also equipped with 2 automatic rifles. It's what we often call a "turntable gun."
A rough estimate shows that an ordinary infantry battalion of the People's Army can fire at least twice the firepower per unit time as an infantry battalion of the Japanese army at that time.
However, if we look at the casualties caused by the same firepower to the enemy, the People's Army is far less than twice that of the Japanese army. Therefore, the People's Army at that time had strong "combat capability" but low "combat efficiency" .
The Japanese army is different. In fact, the Japanese army's equipment is far inferior to that of the People's Army. For example, they have almost no automatic rifles and no company heavy machine guns, so the Japanese army's firearms fire speed is not high.
However, the rough estimates of commanders at all levels on the battlefield (which may of course be very inaccurate) are that if the People's Army may kill and injure 5 enemy soldiers for every 100 bullets fired by the Japanese army, then the Japanese army may kill and injure 10 or even 20 soldiers with 100 bullets. The People's Army, that is to say, the combat efficiency of the Japanese army at that time was more than double that of the People's Army.
The reason why the Japanese army has high "combat efficiency" is due to many factors: the existing soldiers are well trained individually and shoot accurately.
For example, the grenade that the Japanese love to use is actually a simple grenade launcher. There is no need for any shooting settings, but the Japanese soldiers can shoot very accurately. You can't help but admire it.
The People's Army often used battalion-level forces to besiege or attack small Japanese company-level units. The Japanese army could well demonstrate its good qualities before being completely annihilated. Also, as mentioned just now, the Japanese "bushido spirit" made them He is very tenacious on the battlefield and can put a lot of mental pressure on his opponents.
In fact, there is another reason: the People's Army has not yet encountered such a tenacious opponent.
During the civil war, the opponents were all warlords from various places. In terms of equipment or morale, few could surpass the People's Army., and the People's Army also has a huge advantage, that is, Zhang Hanqing has a very strong strategic view and is basically invincible.
In large-scale battles, the opponent basically loses fighting spirit after a stalemate for a period of time because the situation is over. Beating up the lost dog can only boost morale, but will not promote the cultivation of military literacy.
The German advisory group has played a great role in cultivating the combat literacy of the People's Army, but talking about war on paper and real front-line combat are completely different, and many recruits have begun to be completely confused. In this way, when encountering the first generation of well-trained Japanese soldiers, the shortcomings of the People's Army's lack of combat experience were exposed.
The Japanese army fought extremely tenaciously. Not only was the scale of the battle relatively small, but its firearms were often severely damaged before they were annihilated, so very few were captured in each battle.
In addition, Japanese soldiers who believed in the "spirit of Bushido" went to the battlefield as if they had drunk chicken blood and were not afraid of death, and often fought until the last moment. In this way, capturing Japanese soldiers would risk being attacked and injured.
Anyway, there is currently no international convention on the status of prisoners of war, not to mention that although wounded soldiers have partially lost their combat capabilities, they can still cause fatal harm to the People's Army. People are going to fight to the death, so why force it and cause casualties among their own people?
In addition, the opponent's refusal to surrender will also give our own army a strong understanding: once captured unilaterally, there will be no good fruits to eat, and it can stimulate the original bloody nature in the battle, but it will be death anyway.
Therefore, the People's Army Headquarters issued a special order: "There is no need to specifically capture prisoners, so as to allow the Japanese army to die as a manifestation of respecting the opponent's final will!"
Therefore, the number of Japanese prisoners of war on the battlefield in Guandong Prefecture was very small. Post-war statistics showed that all the prisoners were seriously wounded who could not take care of themselves. This is a digression.
Fortunately, at the beginning of the battle, the Japanese heavy weapons battlefield had been "mopped up" by the People's Army Air Force, and the People's Army reduced a lot of losses. Coupled with the "elusive" attack of the tank troops, the large Japanese army was quickly cut into dozens of pieces. Looking at the overall situation, the advantage is already on the side of the People's Army.
Zhang Hanqing’s previous training for the generals of the People’s Army was effective: to fight against the Japanese army, one must try his best to find opportunities to fight against the Japanese army’s isolated and helpless troops. Most people know the common sense of dividing, encircling and annihilating the enemy. In the battle between the Communist Party and the Kuomintang army, this can usually be done relatively easily, even for its main force.
But it’s very difficult to deal with the Japanese army.
As mentioned before, the Japanese army not only has strong individual combat capabilities, but also has good coordination and cooperation between troops. Whether it is infantry and artillery coordination or internal coordination of small-scale groups, squads (cao), and squads, all training Well prepared.
Even on battlefields where the main force has been divided, once the People's Army fights with the Japanese army, it can be seen almost every time: once the opponent's troops are attacked, they can quickly deploy and use the fastest movements to form a cross-fire cover between individual soldiers. , and mutual cover between infantry and artillery.
"Once the Japanese army formed a battlefield coordination, there was basically no blind spot for shooting. It would be very difficult to intersperse and separate them, and sometimes it was even impossible.
Therefore, after the war, it was concluded that to fight against the Japanese army, it was necessary to attack them with great suddenness and then separate them quickly to avoid battlefield coordination.
During the Battle of Guandong Prefecture, the Japanese soldiers fell into a situation that was not conducive to them. There were several main reasons: First, the Japanese army's early operations were relatively smooth. They had never encountered such a main force with extremely strong combat effectiveness in the Northeast Continent, and they were a little careless;
Second, it is because the People’s Army launched its attack very suddenly and moved across the battlefield extremely quickly;
Third, the People's Army's equipment far exceeds that of the Japanese army, so it will soon be divided into isolated units;
Of course there is another most important reason: there are many people’s soldiers. As the saying goes, "It is difficult for a good tiger to fight a pack of wolves." Once the morale of the Chinese army improves, the advantage of large numbers of people will become a factor that cannot be underestimated. Otherwise, how could Mao Zedong say "There is strength in numbers".
The Japanese are still very tenacious. After experiencing the initial confusion, shock, and confusion, batches of middle- and lower-level officers who had lost contact with their superiors automatically replaced their superiors' orders, summoned soldiers scattered everywhere, and quickly carried out on-the-spot operations. Resisting step by step showed excellent battlefield qualities.
The Japanese soldiers also showed great tenacity, and their fearless spirit was no less than that of the best people's officers and soldiers.
But the People's Army on the opposite side is also an excellent soldier who has been trained in bloody storms. They also come with the determination to die and the belief that they must win. The large number of people, coupled with the determination and superior equipment, boosted the momentum of the entire army. Therefore, the Japanese have encountered opponents as tough as them in history.
The Japanese officers and soldiers fought for their lives, and the Chinese soldiers did not hesitate to die. Gradually, the battle entered a fever pitch.
"But everyone has a life. Even if there is a one-on-one loss, China's advantages are becoming more and more obvious. Although the Japanese officers and soldiers in the encirclement were resisting stubbornly, the number of friendly forces was getting smaller and smaller, the enemy's firepower was getting more and more intense, and news of losses in positions came from time to time, which made them feel that this battle was a disaster.
However, they were all the elite of the Japanese army. They were defeated but not in chaos, and they retreated southward step by step. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com), gradually entered a fever pitch.

Chapter 863 Incredible 24 hours
??
We have a small number of people. If we spread out the camp, we will have a large area to defend. This will increase the pressure per unit area to deal with, and it will also easily give the People's Army the opportunity to break through and divide and conquer. The Liaodong Peninsula stretches into the sea like a sharp knife, becoming narrower as you go south, making it relatively easier to defend.
Therefore, even after losing the order from the division headquarters, the well-trained Japanese middle and lower-level officers still showed amazing battlefield insights and retreated southward in large groups and squadrons.
Whenever a decent army is assembled, someone will automatically lead the formation and organize the defense, even though they know that being broken through by the People's Army means death, and if there is a chance to go south, there is a chance of survival.
This is a well-trained army, and it is an army that regards death as home. Although they are opponents, the People's Army still expresses their respect for them: for their tradition of fighting to the end, the People's Army will never let them down.
The Political Department has previously publicized that unless they are unconscious or completely lose the ability to resist, all Japanese officers and soldiers who can handle weapons must be taken seriously and strive to kill them.
It is inhumane to let him die of injury and pain, and the battlefield situation does not allow for the release of manpower for rescue. In a word, killing the enemy is the best respect for the enemy.
Of course, Japanese soldiers almost always fought until their last breath.
When the war has reached this point, it is no longer entirely the responsibility of the commanders on both sides. They have already done their best. Even after the Japanese soldiers demonstrated absolute individual soldier qualities, no one could say that the Japanese soldiers were just as good as they looked and had low combat effectiveness. From morning to evening, the People's Army's guns and artillery fire continued all the time, and the Kwantung Army's position shrank more and more.
What magical changes happened to the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side that made them so powerful? The two lieutenant generals Murakaze Chotaro and Akai Harumi looked at each other speechlessly. The arrogance of the day before had been completely driven away to the Bohai Sea. Judging from the domestic response speed and the relentless offensive momentum of the People's Army, no one can rescue them now.
News from the front line, no, it should be said from the rear line, is that the Japanese army has lost all the land north of Jinzhou. The remaining less than 4,000 Japanese soldiers are organizing defense fortifications overnight with Jinzhou City as the boundary.
Four thousand people? Survival? Lieutenant General Akai Harumi twitched. Even though he knew that the Japanese army had suffered heavy losses during the daytime battle, the heavy casualties still made him feel as painful as minced meat. Could it be that the Japanese Empire's first defeat in many years was going to fall on itself?
He is not like the so-called military god Nogi Nogi Nogi in the Meiji era, who stepped on the corpses of Japanese soldiers to the throne. He was a top student from the ninth phase of the mainland, the cradle of the Japanese army. Opportunities. However, the magical power of the People's Army caused his ambition to show off in the Northeast to disappear in an instant. Instead, he asked: How long can the Kwantung Army last?
??According to the desperate momentum of the Chinese army during the day, their ammunition consumption must be very high. In terms of combat area, the Kwantung Army retreated for dozens of kilometers, which was far beyond the combat limits of modern infantry. The Chinese army must work hard to rest and recuperate in order to regain its energy in the next battle. In two days, the domestic supporting troops will arrive, right?
But why are there still intensive gunshots in the suburbs?
At the same time, inside the headquarters of the People's Army, Ji Yiqiao was arranging for a night battle.
To be honest, like the Japanese army, night fighting is not the specialty of the People's Army. The battle during the day demonstrated the courage, morale and spirit of the Chinese soldiers. It is not an exaggeration to express its epoch-making significance. Although the Japanese suffered heavy losses, the losses of the People's Army were also not small.
Many generals are deeply aware of the fatigue of their troops in continuous battles, and are worried that if the People's Army, which has no experience in night fighting, loses, it will affect the fighting enthusiasm that has been accumulated with great difficulty. After all, they are facing the elite Second Division, which has experienced hundreds of battles and can They resisted desperately when they were extremely weak. It can be seen from the fact that despite the one-sided advantage during the day, the opponent was still able to calmly deploy defenses despite being defeated.
Zhang Hanqing was unmoved. Taking into account the high speed of troops, if he could not capture Kanto Prefecture before Japanese reinforcements arrived, all previous efforts would be wasted. He argued: "We are tired, but after fighting for a day, the enemy is not tired? He has no experience in night battles." , it is more important to learn and summarize experience under advantageous conditions to lay the foundation for future battles.
Our momentum is strong and the Japanese army is defeated. It is a good time to show the prestige of the Chinese army in one go. The Battle of Guandong State has ended successfully, and we can calmly deploy the next phase of the war. The initiative lies with us; if we delay for one minute, the enemy's reinforcements will arrive in just one minute. If the war cannot be resolved before reinforcements arrive, the stalemate will bring great passivity to the national strategy.
Therefore, in this battle, we should carry forward our army’s fighting spirit of not being afraid of death or fatigue, and launch attacks overnight! "
The gunfire under the night made Akai Harumi’s wish to take a rest come to nothing, and it also made Su?The traditional advantage of the Japanese army with higher shooting accuracy is back to the same starting point as the People's Army.
The shooting accuracy in the dark is much worse. Neither the Japanese soldiers nor the People's Army of this era are used to night fighting. But they couldn't stand up to the large number of people's soldiers, so they fought in the dark, which was not a good idea for the Japanese army with a small number of people and a long front line.
After an hour of close-range gun battles, the troops from both sides crisscrossed the entire front, forming a situation where you were among us and you were among me. It was dark anyway, so no one could see it. Fortunately, it was dark, and the People's Army's artillery stopped shelling for fear of accidentally injuring friendly forces, giving the Japanese army, which had been shelled to pieces during the day, an extra "surprise."
But the Chinese army has a mission, which is to march through the Jinzhou Defense Line to Dalian and Lushun whenever there is an opportunity. Anyway, there will be a steady stream of Chinese soldiers following behind. The outnumbered Japanese troops were divided into strongholds in small groups, barely able to protect themselves under the cover of night, and unable to do anything to stop the groups of subsequent troops of the People's Army.
Dalian Kanto Hall has become the wartime headquarters of Lieutenant General Murakaze Chotaro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. This is already the third headquarters, and there is no way to retreat.
When the embarrassed Lieutenant General Akai Harumi appeared in front of Murakaze, escorted by the few remaining personal guards, Murakaze knew that the situation was out of control.
The Second Division was gone, and the Fourth Border Guard was crippled. What Akai may not know is that at noon, the empire's navy in Kanto Prefecture had also been completely wiped out. Now, it was just the security forces around him.
The two officers looked at each other for a long time, and Murafeng solemnly ordered: "Power generation now: 'My powerful Kwantung Army soldiers have gloriously completed their mission after bloody battles. The commander of the Kwantung Army, who is running out of ammunition and food, has Akai, the commander of the Second Division of the Fenghe Empire, is determined to kill himself, follow the warriors of our empire, and be loyal to the emperor. We have been in the army for decades, and we have been waiting for this sacred moment. Comparing the military strength of China's past and present, you need to pay more attention to Yasukuni Goodbye Sheshe. Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
Looking at the calm expressions of the two commanders, the regiment flag bearer Shan Jiaheng knew that the last moment had arrived. He took out the united flag, which he regarded as a treasure, and solemnly completed the burning ceremony under the sacred attention of everyone. Then the headquarters staff smashed the radio and destroyed all confidential documents.
Walking out of the Guandong Hall, in the vast night, fires broke out in and around Jinzhou City in the distance, and the gunfire sounded like fried beans. According to usual practice, the remaining Japanese troops there are probably also making orderly final preparations, right?
“The mountains and the moon and the grass and trees have turned desolate, and there is a bloody new battlefield ten miles away.
Zhengma is not a predecessor, and the Jinzhou City is in the sun. "
Lieutenant General Akai couldn't help but recite this poem. This is a masterpiece written by the military god Nogi Nogi when he captured Jinzhou. Looking at it purely from the perspective of a poet, this is really a good poem that fits the occasion. And considering that Nogi uses the Chinese language as a foreigner, this poem is even more valuable.
It’s just that times have changed, and Nogi, whom I have always looked down upon, improvised this poem with a victor’s tone. But now, such a grand occasion can only be remembered in memory. He murmured: "At least Nogi made the most correct decision and became a god, but I will be the first division commander to die in defeat on the battlefield since the Meiji Restoration of the Japanese Empire!"
Lieutenant General Cunfeng smiled sadly and recited:
"How difficult is it to climb Erling Mountain?
Men’s fame and fortune are difficult to overcome.
??????????????????????????????????????
Ten thousand people admire Erling Mountain together. "
This poem was also written by Nogi Nogi Nogi to commemorate the 6,200 Japanese soldiers who died during the Russo-Japanese War when they captured Erling Mountain (formerly Highland 203).
He looked south, and the tall cannonball-shaped monument on Highland 203 was faintly visible. He smiled and said: "From today on, the inscription on Erling Mountain will have another village style, right?"
The two looked at each other and smiled miserably, while Liangfeng whimpered, seeming to be making peace for them.
Rear Admiral Shiro Takasu, Commander of the First Support Fleet of the Japanese Navy who had just arrived in the Tsushima Strait, received the following emergency telegram and was instantly petrified: "We, the officers and men of the Kwantung Army, surrounded by enemies ten times more powerful than us, at 5 a.m. this morning At this time, we collectively serve the Emperor. The Navy Ministry requires your ministry to land reinforcements at the nearest port, gather with other armies on the Korean Peninsula, and fight to the death with the China Army!"
As a naval general, Shiro Takasu knew nothing about the development of the Chinese Army, but he could not understand why the invincible 2nd Division was wiped out in just 24 hours? This is one of the first seven elite divisions of the empire built by Japan's entire nation! And what about the garrison with no less than 8,000 people? There are also a large number of "South Manchu Road Guards" armed to the teeth?
how so!
However, although Rear Admiral Takasu was shocked, he quickly carried out the order of the Navy Ministry and ordered the entire fleet to turn around and turn to Busan Port.
Lieutenant General Fukuda Hikosuke, the commander of the 6th Division who had been arranging troops in the captain's room, raised his head after hearing the news and said: "Takasu-kun, my 6th Division received an order from the base camp to disembark at Port Arthur and support the Kwantung Army. "
Takasu said with a sad expression: "The call just came in. The Kwantung Army has been completely wiped out. General Murakaze and General Akai have died for the country. It is meaningless to talk about supporting the Kwantung Prefecture!"? (Remember the website address of this website: www .hlnovel.com)??ordered the entire fleet to turn around and turn to Busan Port.

Chapter 864 Beacon rising on the sea
??
If the failure of the Japanese 2nd Division can be attributed to China's use of "new" weapons and tanks, which had unexpected effects, and the defeat is tragic yet tragic, its naval destroyer fleet with World War I experience faced China's newly established The defeat of the Bohai Fleet was entirely caused by contempt and improper tactics.
According to pre-war intelligence, China’s new destroyer is designed to imitate the American shallow-water destroyer. It was built by Shanghai’s “Jiangnan Shipyard” and the first ship was the “Yangtze River”.
This warship can be called the pinnacle of destroyers of that era. It made great contributions to the United States' participation in World War I escorts, and its number was also large.
This kind of warship is very suitable for traveling on inland rivers, but it can also be used as a guard along the offshore coastline. Although the tonnage is not worth mentioning, it is after all the largest warship built by the Republic of China since its founding. It is of great significance and is of great help in safeguarding China's vast maritime borders and sea rights.
When the technology matures in the future, it will be possible to design a destroyer suitable for maritime navigation.
Its advantage is that it is extremely cheap and highly cost-effective for encircling and suppressing submarines and air defense. However, since all countries at that time focused their naval efforts on battleships capable of decisive victory, they had not yet realized that the focus of future naval battles should be on preventing underwater and air power, and this advantage of it has not yet been taken seriously.
At first, some people in the U.S. military were worried that the Chinese navy would rise like its army, but they were ridiculed: "No matter how many such warships are built, can they still cross the Pacific and threaten the United States?"
Therefore, after the United States relaxed the export of its gunboats to China, because the Chinese Navy is obviously still in the exploratory period of larger warships, the U.S. government has acquiesced in the "irrelevant" demand for this type of destroyer. Agree with the Chinese Navy to imitate:
Indeed, in a decisive battle on the ocean, the battleship's tonnage and cannon caliber still matter. Such small-tonnage warships that can only protect themselves will not shake any advantage of the U.S. Navy. However, if they knew that Zhang Hanqing was only reserving capabilities and talents for China's warship manufacturing, they would certainly not agree so easily.
Although old China has a shipbuilding history worth writing about, due to historical reasons, this capability is not commensurate with the existing industrial level. The occasional brilliance cannot cover up the backwardness in naval talents.
Therefore, although many high-level officials of the Fengjun Army, especially those from the navy headed by Guo Songling, very much hope to find opportunities and support for the construction of China's own battleships so that the Chinese navy can truly stand up, even a powerful person like Zhang Hanqing cannot go against the historical facts. Regardless.
Battleships were the decisive force in the maritime battle at that time and were very conspicuous.
The technology to manufacture it is complex, including giant cannons, super-large power systems and super docks that China has never been able to build. It is a systematic project. All major maritime countries have blocked this technology. It is very unrealistic to introduce it, and it is time-consuming and long-lasting to explore it on your own, which will not solve the problem.
Rather, it is better to start with small-tonnage ships, which can not only accumulate shipbuilding experience, but also shift from quantitative to qualitative changes, allowing China to gradually move from a shallow-water navy to a deep-water navy, and gradually form combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing spared no effort to achieve the maximum strength of the Chinese navy in the least time. He also devoted himself to instilling in the naval generals the concept that the concept of big guns and giant ships has fallen behind this era, and the armament of them cannot be achieved by China's existing industrial strength. Acceptable, but changes in strategy and effective use of tactics can make a difference in naval development.
Under his influence, the Navy’s tactical research on submarines, torpedo boats, and exercises on integrated sea and air tactics are the highlights that distinguish the Chinese Navy from the major naval powers in the world.
Today, in the Bohai Bay, China already has 6 submarines, 18 torpedo boats, and the 1st Water Machinery Wing and the 1st Fish Bomber Wing, mainly composed of water bombardment-1 and fish bombardment-1. The two groups have a total of 198 aircraft.
In addition, as the commander of the Bohai Fleet, Lieutenant General Song Changzhi, he was gratified that before the war, he had a 1st destroyer detachment composed of 10 warships and a 4th destroyer group composed of 6 rushed destroyers. Team. Like the destroyers of the South China and Yangtze Fleets, these new destroyers have flat decks, four chimneys, a displacement of 1,200 tons, and a draft of nine feet and ten inches
The original purpose of introducing it was that if the war progress was not satisfactory, the Chinese navy could use such warships to retreat along the river and into the interior, making Japan's huge navy "look at the river and sigh."
These "large" warships, which Zhang Hanqing calls China's first-generation destroyers, may not be worth mentioning to naval powers such as the United States, Britain, and Japan, but for China, which has been repeatedly breached by foreign powers at sea, Generally speaking, this is also the largest warship that China can independently and mass-build at this stage——?Although there has been the glory of building larger warships for the United States before, from the perspective of the military, this is the real strength of China's shipbuilding industry.
However, due to Zhang Hanqing’s insight, these warships were later modified with diesel engines that were a trend in the development of ships in the world, instead of the old-fashioned but stable coal-burning engines.
Except for the new power unit, which is still purchased and copied from the United States, everything else is made in China. Compared with the "Tanikaze" class destroyers used by the Japanese Navy during the same period, the overall strength is not inferior.
At this time, Japan’s 17th Destroyer Division stationed in Kanto Prefecture has a total of 4 "Tanikaze" class destroyers, namely: Urakaze, Tanikaze, Isokaze and Hamakaze.
The Tanikaze-class destroyers were part of Japan's new "August 4th Fleet" project in 1915. In order to provide escort for the new Nagato-class battleships, a large destroyer with greater endurance was built, and together with the two Tianlong-class light cruisers, it was regarded as an important part of the "84 Fleet".
Although there was only the funds to build one "Tanikaze" class destroyer at the time, the Italian government unexpectedly paid off the remaining balance of the Urakaze-class destroyer Ekaze transferred to it during World War I, and Japan used the funds. Build the second "Tanikaze" class destroyer and continue to name it after Jiang Feng.
The Tanikaze class was originally designed as an enlarged and improved version of the Isokaze class, but the gun was replaced with a new 3-year-old 120 mm 45-caliber gun (this gun was later used by many Japanese destroyers); in addition, due to the post-World War I Japan has acquired many overseas colonies and requires the Tanikaze class to have better ocean performance and install three newly developed twin 533mm torpedo launch tubes.
Its main performance parameters——displacement: 1300 tons (standing)/1580 tons (full load); speed: 37.5 knots; endurance: 4000 nautical miles/15 knots; protection and firepower: 3 single-seat three-year-old 120 mm l/ 45 guns, 4 single-mounted 7.7mm machine guns, and 3 twin-mounted six-year-old 533mm torpedoes; the standard crew is 128 people.
In terms of quantity, China had as many as 10 destroyers participating in the war, while Japan only had 4, giving it a huge advantage. However, Japan also has a large-tonnage light cruiser "Yura" that China does not currently have. In addition, it has experienced victory in two naval battles against China and Russia and its status as a victor in World War I, which has given the Japanese navy combat experience and confidence. Both are far superior to China (morale is shared by both sides), so the balance of victory is between two options.
The Japanese naval fleet also relies on assistance that will definitely and is known to be on the way. The combined fleet in Wu Port has weighed anchor. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely arrive here within two days. With the powerful Japanese army Kwantung Army and the first-class Japanese navy, the Chinese people should not have the strength to carry out this resistance that is obviously overestimating their capabilities, right?
You know, they don’t even have a warship larger than a Japanese destroyer. The battle in Kanto State was probably just a show by the Chinese. As long as the Japanese Empire has one fang, the courage of the Chinese people will be thrown into the Java Kingdom, right?
As the flagship of the 17th Destroyer Division, the "Yura" is the second ship of the "Nagara" class, with a tonnage of 5,170 tons and seven 140 mm 50-caliber main guns.
In addition, it also installed eight of the most famous 61cm torpedo launch tubes of the Japanese army in World War II for the first time. In this way, it can launch the astonishingly powerful Type 93 sour torpedo, which is the "Lance" torpedo that shocked Britain and the United States in World War II in history. This makes the Nagara class even more capable of becoming the main force of the fleet's decisive battle cruiser.
In order to effectively grasp the battlefield, it also randomly carries a water reconnaissance aircraft. For the Chinese Navy, which has no combat experience, this is also the first huge test since the outbreak of the war.
But the fly in the ointment is that the Japanese warships are still in the stage of using coal as power, because they are short of oil, and Japan (including Japan-occupied Korea and Taiwan) is quite rich in coal resources. In this way, as soon as the Japanese fleet was dispatched, dense smoke enveloped the sea.
The idea of ??Commander Toshiki Naomi of the squadron is to try to find the main force of the Bohai Fleet for a decisive naval battle. If they can be wiped out in one fell swoop, Japan's mobile transport ships will be able to land on China's inland sea at any time, threatening Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, and Liao. This move would not only greatly support the Kwantung Army's operations, but also have the opportunity to tear a large hole in northern China, spreading the war to the land, and possibly achieve the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting.
After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1898, with the destruction of the Beiyang Navy, didn’t the Qing government lose its determination to continue to resist?
To be fair, his idea is correct, but it would be too ambitious to rely on his squadron alone to annihilate the entire Bohai Fleet. Although China's fleet is only known as a fleet in terms of sea strength, its entire wealth lies not only in a few visible warships, but also in its strong development potential and advanced construction ideas.
Not everyone has the same blind obedience to the commander-in-chief’s optimism. As destroyer captains, Major Ozawa and Major Obuchi both have doubts about whether they can win a battle.
Fortunately, the Japanese Army's customary "lower to overcome superior" style almost does not exist within the Navy. They believe that even if the tactic of going directly to the commander cannot be realized, there is no problem in retreating unscathed.
Even then, the Japanese still didn’t know who their maritime opponents were. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)With the same blind obedience, Major Ozawa and Major Obuchi, as destroyer captains, both had doubts about whether they could win a battle.

Chapter 865 Showdown between shore artillery and warships
At the beginning of the war in Kanto Prefecture, Captain Toshiki Naomi, the captain of the light cruiser "Yura" as the commander of the squadron, believed that the People's Army Air Force in the Bohai Bay had a great advantage and rashly concentrated the warships in the bay. The risk of being gathered together and annihilated.
As a destroyer detachment, its main responsibility is to ensure the safety of the Kwantung Army and domestic sea lanes, and to wait for opportunities to harass the marching line of the Chinese army. Therefore, he decided that the fleet should go out of Bohai and into the Yellow Sea, and control the Changshan Islands Channel on the Chinese side of the Yellow Sea. It could advance and retreat, and threaten the left side of the People's Army moving south along the coast.
Whether from a strategic or tactical perspective, his approach is undoubtedly correct.
Because as soon as the war broke out, in order to control the Japanese navy's free entry and exit into the Bohai Sea and threaten Beijing and Tianjin, the main force of the People's Army Navy's Bohai Fleet gathered in the Bohai Strait in accordance with the orders of the Navy Command; the People's Army Air Force also dispatched a large number of air forces from Yantai and other places to cross the sea. Supporting the Kanto Prefecture Campaign essentially blocked the entire Bohai Strait.
The Bohai Strait is located at the junction of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea between the west corner of Laotieshan, Liaodong Peninsula and Penglai, Shandong Peninsula. It is 57 nautical miles long from north to south and has more than 10 waterways. It is the chokepoint for entering and exiting the Bohai Sea and the gateway to Beijing and Tianjin. History Foreign navies entering Beijing and Tianjin all enter and exit through the Bohai Strait.
According to Zhang Hanqing and Guo Songling's plan for the future anti-aggression war, the air force will be the main force, and the navy and submarines will be supplemented. The Bohai Strait will be firmly controlled to ensure that there will be no maritime dangers in North China, thus forcing China and Japan to shift the main focus of the war. The battlefield is limited to land.
In this way, the greatest support for the Kwantung Army is to control the Changshan Islands, advance, attack, retreat and defend, so as not to cause the People's Army to catch a turtle in a jar. If the situation is unfavorable, it can calmly withdraw from the sea.
The Changshan Islands are located in the southeast of the Liaodong Peninsula and the north of the Yellow Sea. There are a total of 114 large and small islands. It controls the northern part of the Yellow Sea and protects the Liaodong Peninsula. It has very important military value in defending Northeast my country and has always been a battleground for military strategists.
For example, in 1894, the Battle of the Yellow Sea during the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War was fought in the northeastern waters of the Changshan Islands. At that time, the Japanese army first controlled the Changshan Islands and then landed at the Huayuankou of Zhuanghe;
In 1904, during the Japan-Russia War, the Japanese combined fleet anchored near the Changshan Islands, fought with the Russian fleet, and then landed on the coast of Liaoning. The fleet is placed here and can simultaneously cover the Jinzhou Isthmus, the narrowest part of the Liaodong Peninsula.
However, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Murakaze Chotaro, was very trusting and asked the navy to make every effort to ensure that the flanks of Kanto Prefecture were not threatened by the landing of the People's Army Marine Brigade. The places where there are opportunities to land from the center are Yingkou, Qinhuangdao and Huludao, all within the bay. Therefore, the fleet finally gave up controlling the outer sea and all entered Liaodong Bay.
However, when the main ships arrived at Yingkou Port, the other side was very quiet, which was a bit abnormal. The experienced Captain Zhi Shang decisively ordered: "Each ship fires freely. If there is no change, the fire will be extended inland for 2 minutes."
The concept of 2 minutes is dozens of heavy artillery rounds.
After the smoke of gunfire passed, there was no fight back. Judging from the telescope, apart from the smoke and billowing dust, the other side did not appear panicked. This behavior is very strange: the war in the east has begun. As Yingkou, a key port in the Northeast, it is impossible for the People's Army stationed here to not receive news. , nor should there be no garrison.
Of course, in the mind of Major General Zhi Shang, the People's Army will definitely not be able to fight against the Japanese Navy, which has the best maritime strength in Asia. In this way, it is very likely that important materials and personnel will be evacuated along the route, so that losses can be avoided outside the range of the Japanese Navy. Well, that must be it.
In this case, the warship must approach and extend its shooting. The advantage of this is that the 30mm caliber rapid-fire cannon equipped on the ship can be used for shore shooting, thereby reducing the use of 120mm cannons. You know, the service life of these cannons is not long, and they are more expensive. For the Chinese army on the other side, there is no need to waste the few heavy artillery shells of the Japanese Empire!
Captain Li Debiao, who was hiding on the shore to observe the enemy's situation, looked at the slowly approaching Japanese warships and was so surprised that he could not open his mouth.
It’s not that I’m afraid, it’s that I feel unreasonable.
This Li Debiao was the guard who wanted to shoot General Zhang Zuolin. After training in the Southern and Northern Wars, he had made great achievements in battle and had been promoted from a little-known soldier to the colonel commander of the heavy artillery regiment currently stationed in Yingkou, Northeast China. .
With iron-blooded discipline, the 54 cannons of the independent heavy artillery regiment under his command were well camouflaged and lurked under the sea embankment less than 500 meters away from the coast for more than ten days. Since Yingkou carried out the strong defense and cleared the country very well, the presence of the heavy artillery regiment was not detected by the Japanese army.
Did the troops leak it? Li Debiao almost ordered a counterattack, but suddenly felt something strange: not all Japanese naval guns were directed atWhat came from the place where I was ambushing and landed on my position were only a few sporadic cannonballs, and then the shells advanced in depth.
It’s a test!
He firmly stopped the battalions’ requests to fight back, and instead calmly ordered: “Report battle losses!”
After withstanding the Japanese shelling, a cannon was blown up on the spot, sacrificing more than a dozen artillerymen and baggage soldiers. But there was no order to fight back, so everyone lurked silently.
The unobstructed Japanese warship finally entered the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the heavy artillery regiment. The officers and soldiers of the People's Republic of China were also constantly calculating the trajectory and adjusting the muzzle as the warship approached. 22 kilometers, this is the range limit; 15 kilometers, this is a good distance; 9 kilometers, this is the fatal distance
Li Debiao forced a smile and eased his cheeks that were tense and tired. He methodically issued the final combat order: "Aim all cannons at each ship and shoot out all the shells!"
The lookout post of the light cruiser "Yura" in front of the assault was being ordered to observe into the distance. Suddenly, inadvertently, it was discovered that a row of chimneys was quickly sprouting in front of its telescope. Take a closer look, huh? It's not the chimney, it's the barrel!
It’s shore artillery!
When the shrill siren sounded, it was accompanied by rows of flames on the other side, and then the loud noise of the cannon was heard.
When the cannons roared from the other side, Toshishu regretted not being able to stick to his point of view. As the Northeast where Fengjun started, Zhang Hanqing's defense against the Japanese was consistent: there was one of the five heavy artillery regiments with key equipment of Fengjun in Yingkou, which was responsible for controlling the southern gate of Northeast China and preventing Japanese troops from landing from the sea.
Even when the war between Zhili and Fengcheng was very serious, there were no plans to move the heavy artillery regiment deployed at Yingkou away from the station. So when the People's Army used 155mm heavy artillery, the Japanese Navy was taken by surprise.
As Colonel Naokami Toshiki who experienced the test of World War I, he is very familiar with the German Krupp 150mm cannon, and Japan has also introduced many of them. Amidst the loud noises, he understood that the People's Army had at least one heavy artillery regiment here.
He felt sincerely horrified: Cannons are a weapon for attacking fortresses, especially on the battlefield in Guandong Prefecture, where the Japanese army built many fortresses. A very effective weapon for this is the direct-aimed cannon, of course the heavy ones are more powerful. When the fierce battle on the side bank was in full swing, there was such a fierce force ambushing there. Their ambition was not small.
For warships, head-on attacks with coastal defense artillery are not their strengths, nor are they cost-effective. His entire fleet (because it is traveling head-on, some side guns and tail guns cannot enter and attack) only has 19 cannons. With such a pitiful force, if he overestimates his capabilities against the heavy artillery regiment, no matter who he is, will say he is crazy. .
Because the People's Army artillery was well prepared and waited for the destroyer fleet to enter the firing range before firing, they were caught off guard. The "Urakaze" was seriously injured, the "Isokaze" was hit by a bullet, and the "Hamakaze" was hit by a bullet and caught fire. and lost the ability to fight. Only the "Tanikaze" at the rear was shielded by the first four warships and narrowly escaped the first round of attacks, with no damage to its body.
Of course, as the flagship and the first to enter the range, the "Yura" received the most hits. Fortunately, due to its thick skin, the first round of shelling only destroyed the main gun on its bow, resulting in the loss of more than ten officers and soldiers.
The sudden attack showed that the Japanese troops were well-trained and showed their tenacious fighting spirit. After a brief panic, each ship opened fire to fight, and quickly retreated under the leadership of Major General Zhi Shang to avoid the range of the People's Army's artillery fire. But even so, the "Urakaze" still suffered heavy losses: due to its inflexible maneuverability after being seriously injured, the tail rudder suffered several gunshots during the retreat, almost losing its navigation ability.
As a last resort, the still intact "Tanikaze" was ordered to lead it slowly back out of the bay and accompany it all the way.
Now General Zhi Shang’s wish has been to hope that the Bohai Strait will not be blocked. At a time when the fighting between you and me on land is extremely fierce, China's Bohai Fleet, which is relatively strong, has not yet met. There is not a single warship in the huge sea! All kinds of anomalies convinced him that it was almost impossible for this fleet to leave safely without a fierce battle.
According to the opinion of Major Ozawa, the captain of the "Isokaze", the 17th Squadron should attack Tianjin, because there is still a Japanese garrison in North China with more than thousands of people there. This time, the general directly rejected such a plan very decisively. speech.
Is it ridiculous that the Chinese people deliberately planned to fight the well-equipped Kwantung Army in the Northeast, with heavy artillery even at the entrance of the camp, but they were not unprepared in Tianjin, its heartland?
The Japanese garrison in North China, with more than a thousand people, was originally built according to the level of B-class troops. Not to mention their equipment, their combat capabilities were also very low. Even a fully equipped regiment of the Japanese and Korean troops, who were more capable than them, fell overnight. Being wrapped in dumplings, will they still exist at this moment?
Time waits for no one. It seems that the Chinese are prepared to fight. The top priority now is to occupy the Changdao Islands and leave a base for the subsequent reinforcements. The continuous appearance of Chinese sea reconnaissance planes along the way showed that the Chinese had their eyes on this fleet. What's more, at this time, four of his five warships have been damaged, so it is naturally not suitable to stay in dangerous places for a long time.
as expected. The destroyer "Isokaze" on guard duty encountered a Chinese naval formation consisting of at least five destroyers lying across the mouth of the Bohai Bay just after passing Xiaolongshan Island. This result had been returned by the water reconnaissance aircraft on the "Yura" The news was confirmed.

Chapter 866 The First Naval Battle of the Republic of China
The situation is extremely unfavorable to the Japanese Navy.
The mouth of the Bohai Bay, which connects Dalian and Weihai, is only 57 kilometers wide at its narrowest point, like the neck of a big-bellied bottle. Use shore artillery from both ends to fire salvos into the center of the sea. As long as there is a mobile fort in the center, the entire Bohai Sea can theoretically be blocked.
I don’t know what the situation is like in the battle in Guandong Prefecture, but Weihai is in the hands of the Chinese. The two fleets met here, and the Japanese fleet also had to guard against attacks from side shore artillery.
Judging from the power of the artillery of the Yingkou People's Army, the China Army already has a formidable artillery force. If Weihai is also equipped with such artillery, it cannot be considered a major threat. Of course, our side was caught off guard in the Yingkou artillery battle, but honestly speaking, the other side's firepower was ferocious.
If that’s all it is, it doesn’t matter. After all, the activities of shore guns are not as flexible as warships. Although the combat radius of shore artillery is longer than that of conventional artillery, the accuracy of long-distance bombardment is much worse, and the natural threat is much smaller.
The only worrying thing is that the four warships of the Japanese squadron were all injured to varying degrees. The "Urakaze" is even more unable to move freely and is like a living target in the sea. This is disturbing.
Naokami Toshiki decided to use the powerful light cruiser "Yura" as the arrow, the "Tanikaze" in good condition as the rear, and let the other three warships be sandwiched in the middle in an inverted V shape to force a breakout.
He still cannot give up even one seriously damaged warship——nothing else. If he suffers heavy losses (warships sinking) in combat with the new Chinese navy, he will be ridiculed by his peers——this is also the Japanese view of China. Caused by too much discrimination.
“If Naokami Toshiki had known that a huge Chinese bomber group was approaching about 60 kilometers away from his fleet, he would never have issued such an order.
Chen Jiliang has been waiting for a long time.
As the first naval officer in the Republic of China to fight against the Japanese, he had an innate hatred for the Japanese. After the "Temple Street Incident", the young marshal tried to save him from death, and he devoted his passion to the work of building the Chinese Navy: training instructors, advising on strategies, writing doctrine
Although it made him feel very fulfilled, being away from his beloved warship still could not erase the stubbornness in his heart.
When China established the Bohai Fleet, Zhang Hanqing wanted to transfer him as commander, but in order not to provoke a backlash from the Japanese, he had to hide him. In the end, Song Changzhi, a rising star, "succeeded" - although Chen Jiliang also believed that Song Changzhi lives up to its name.
But when Zhang Hanqing decided to fight against Japan, the experienced Chen Jiliang immediately asked to command warships to participate in the war. He believes that a hundred drills are not as good as an actual battle to train people, especially the new modern navy.
As the leading surface ship talent in the Chinese Navy, he was sent to the front line and condescended to temporarily serve as the commander of this 10-combat destroyer fleet in northern China. Song Changzhi was responsible for coordinating the internal waters of the defense zone. , Army and Air Force operations.
Every move of Japan’s 17th Destroyer Fleet is actually within the fleet’s control. In order to prepare for the inevitable war in the future, the Naval Staff and the General Staff Intelligence Department have invested heavily in deploying Japan's military forces in Northeast China, and have also prepared various military exercises in detail before the war.
Zhang Hanqing was not familiar with naval warfare, so he generously decided that Ji Yiqiao would coordinate the Shenyang Military Region to solve the Kwantung Army's task, while Chen Jiliang and Song Changzhi's Bohai Fleet would be responsible for destroying the 17th Squadron or making it unable to harass the people. Army Army.
A necessary result is that the Japanese fleet must be expelled from the Bohai Bay, and the People's Army uses its navy and air force to firmly control the mouth of the Bohai Bay, which is the gateway to the capital. Otherwise, the war will go against China.
For Chen Jiliang, his mission is far from this.
In his mind, the young marshal has handed over to him almost all the large surface warships that northern China can handle. He also knew that the heavy artillery regiments deployed at Weihaiwei and Yingkou were already gearing up; he also knew that in northern China, several air force units and naval aviation units that had been painstakingly built in recent years were secretly in place.
If he can no longer eliminate this small Japanese fleet, which is already a turtle in a urn, he will be ashamed to see the young marshal again. There is another sequelae: If the Chinese navy cannot win under such good conditions, how can it face the larger Japanese combined fleet? If the Chinese soldiers arouse the "Japanphobia" that the young commander has suppressed for many years because of this, Chen Jiliang will be the eternal sinner of the nation!
Observing the decisive battle posture of the Japanese fleet, the experienced Chen Jiliang decisively ordered his five destroyers to spread out laterally and attack with side string guns plus main and stern cannons.
For an instant, the sea surface of the Bohai Sea was filled with gunpowder smoke and the sound of artillery boomed. The first battle between the newly born People's Army Navy and the strongest Japanese Navy in Asia began.
Because both sides are small-tonnage destroyers, their role is not to compete for sea control, so the firepower is not very fierce. During the back and forth, the fighting spirit of both sides was high. One is to continue the glory of the past and fight a bloody path; the other is to show the majesty of the new army and annihilate the inferior enemies.
However, thousands of shells have been fired at each other, but basically only the deck buildings within sight were destroyed, and there was no serious damage to the hulls. However, judging from the courage and enthusiasm of both warring parties, everyone fought with the mentality of a big war, and it cannot be said that it is not the humor of naval battles.
But time is on China’s side, and the battlefield situation is also in China’s favour. This is because the Japanese fleet has been attacked by shore artillery first, and then went through the baptism of this round of sea battles. The seriously injured "Urakaze" and "Hamakaze" were already on the verge of collapse. They generated electricity several times to express their determination. If it weren't for the Chinese Navy's lack of battlefield experience, it would have sunk on the spot.
The "Yura" that went straight up could barely be regarded as a battleship, and its hull was solid, so it was still capable of fighting. However, the "Isokaze" that had been bombed in the first place had been replaced by its original escort after this round of battle. Ships have become objects that also need to be "taken care of".
On the other hand, the Chinese Navy also suffered heavy losses at first, and one destroyer was seriously injured and had to withdraw from the battle.
But as time goes by, war is the best teacher. On the contrary, the more we fight, the more courage we get, and the artillery aim becomes more and more accurate. If the two sides hadn't gotten closer and closer to the connection battle, the Japanese warship would have tragically sunk into the Bohai Bay.
The shelling was suspended, and four warships of the Chinese Navy sailed in the opposite direction to the northwest in an attempt to break away from the battle. Toshiki Naokami has rich experience in naval battles, and he is keenly aware that the opponent is trying to distance himself, and wants to use his better speed to get around to the rear of his fleet, and then continue to use his main guns to target the several damaged ships that are holding him back.
Should we continue to be entangled, or should we decisively break out of the place of right and wrong? It's a painful multiple choice question. From a combat perspective, it is time for the strong man to cut off his wrist.
Looking at the situation, the several injured destroyers on our side are unable to leave safely anyway, and our flagship and the well-preserved destroyer "Tanikaze" have a chance to escape as long as they increase their horsepower. At this point, Toshiki Naomi painfully issued an order to each ship: "After the 'Urakaze', 'Isokaze', and 'Hamakaze' were cut off, the 'Tanikaze' and our ships broke away from the battle."
“It must be said that the Japanese navy is indeed the best in Asia, and it has also demonstrated a good combat formation and spirit of sacrifice. The three warships who were ordered to cut off quickly transformed from a wedge into a horizontal formation to block in front of the Chinese fleet and create opportunities for the other two warships to escape safely.
Chen Jiliang gave them a chance. He ordered each ship: "Ignore the two fleeing ships. Each ship will quickly intersperse and attack the three opposite ships with all its strength. Make sure to sink them all!"
The sound of cannons rumbled, as if in farewell. With tears streaming down his face, Naokami Toshiki first saw the "Hamakaze" that had completely lost its combat capabilities being swallowed up by tongues of flames, and then ignited into a raging fire. He also saw the shadows of his own sailors running and jumping into the sea.
Based on estimates of battle damage, it was only a matter of moments before it sank.
Once upon a time, Japan defeated China, the most powerful country in Asia, through the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War; through a series of operations, it defeated the Russian Pacific Fleet, and then successively forced the Russian Army to surrender on land, thereby pushing the Japanese Empire into the ranks of great powers. From then to now, China's Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea are like Japan's canals, coming and going easily, as if walking on flat ground.
At that time, the Chinese people, both the government and the people, had a natural fear of Japan: no matter who changed the royal flag on the city wall, they had to listen to Japan's voice; no matter which warlord was doing something, they had to care Japan's face. At that time, China was far behind in terms of military quality, weapons and equipment, and even the number of soldiers.
As for the navy, it is even more blank.
But since when did China have such power? Can the powerful navy of the Imperial Japanese Empire escape and ignore the danger of its partners? What Captain Zhi Shang was thinking about was the honor of the Imperial Navy and the stain that would inevitably come after the war.
He didn’t expect that he was thinking too much.
The naval battle continues. The "Urakaze" fired the ammunition from the last operational cannon. Before it could clear the chamber, an armor-piercing round fired from close range fired its ammunition magazine. Then, the 1,300-ton ship The belly of the warship soared into the air and was directly broken into two pieces in the firelight. The personnel on the ship had no time to react before they were wrapped in the huge whirlpool that came immediately.
The next thing to deal with the "Isokaze" is like a school of sharks biting a fat fish. As a shell accidentally penetrated the left tail rudder during the battle, the "Isokaze" was unable to balance and had to continue moving in order to avoid attacks on it. The remaining power of the right rudder kept it spinning counterclockwise in a desperate struggle.
Even so, it still refuses to surrender.
Chen Jiliang rejected other ships' suggestions to launch torpedoes at it. At this point in the war, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is only a matter of time before it is sunk. The hobbled "Isokaze" can no longer avoid even the most backward torpedoes of this era. What Chen Jiliang wanted was to use it as a moving target so that the participating ships could continue their bombardment.
Firstly, it can train the gunners of each ship to master the artillery; secondly, it can also confirm their various considerations about improving destroyers; thirdly, it is a kind of self-confidence.
I don’t believe it can’t be sunk! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Refuse to surrender.

Chapter 867 Sea and Air Combination
??
The ships that swarmed up lived up to their expectations. After unleashing three hundred cannons, the already riddled "Isokaze" finally lowered its head - its bow first submerged into the sea, and then calmly sank. To the bottom of the sea fifty meters deep - this also brings great difficulties to clearing the channel after the war, because China lacks deep-water salvage ships.
Toshiki burst into tears. What reached his ears was the message that the chief of staff had just received. It was the last words of the "Hamakaze" that was about to sink: "Your Excellency, Commander, in view of the uncontrollable fire, I have ordered 'Hamakaze' 'Abandon the ship. I will live and die with our ship. Long live the Japanese Empire! Keiji Obuchi."
With the sinking of the "Hamakaze", it was not just a warship, but also fanatical hearts.
As an example of humanitarianism, Chen Jiliang ordered: "The 'Harbin' stayed behind to rescue the Japanese sailors who fell into the water, and the other two warships worked with me to pursue the Japanese fleet." He murmured to himself: "I don't know how Ling Xiao and the others are doing. ?”
What else can be done? At this moment, Naokami Toshiki has fallen into siege from both sea and air.
Although the previous artillery battle failed to injure the light cruiser "Yura" and the destroyer "Isokaze", it severely weakened their air defense capabilities, so that they faced the swarming people's army torpedo bombers. , Just sigh and feel helpless.
This is a naval aviation unit from Weihai. It moved from the inland to the Shandong Peninsula half a month ago to contain the future war situation with Japan. In order to achieve this goal, Zhang Hanqing was ruthless and transferred China's only torpedo bomber wing that was not fully staffed to Weihai.
As an important supplement to this operation against the Kwantung Army, the attack on Japan's 17th Destroyer Squadron had been planned in detail before the war. That is, the main force of the Bohai Fleet's destroyers will engage the Japanese forces within the naval combat range and try to delay the combat time. As long as the Bohai Fleet bites the Japanese ship, it cannot escape the two legs in the air.
Sea reconnaissance aircraft from Tianjin, Penglai, Yantai and other places also conduct reconnaissance on the Bohai Bay. Once traces of Japanese ships are found, they will be reported immediately to the fish bombing wing combat headquarters in Yantai. Its mission is to initially interfere with its support of the "Kwantung Prefecture" battlefield as much as possible, and if possible, expel it outside the Bohai Sea Circle to maximize the peace of mind of our army.
But the first person to know the whereabouts of the Japanese fleet turned out to be the heavy artillery regiment in Yingkou, which made everyone dumbfounded - how could the Japanese navy make such a mistake and compete with the shore-based heavy artillery with a team that did not have the advantage? For the same shot, the cost to the navy and army is very different!
After roughly determining the opponent's position and receiving a battle report from the heavy artillery regiment, Song Changzhi and Chen Jiliang began to wonder whether they could deliver a fatal blow to Little Japan. Without him, the current navy and air force of the People's Army have this strength - they dare not compare with the Japanese fleet. I don't believe that this navy and air force built with all the efforts of the whole country can't deal with this small group of Japanese soldiers!
Chen Jiliang judged that the Japanese army must withdraw from the battlefield that was unfavorable to them after the defeat at Yingkou. He was afraid that the Japanese fleet would be blocked and fought together to the death. He was also afraid that the lack of experience of the Bohai Fleet would cause heavy losses and cause bad morale to the nascent People's Navy, so he decided Split half of them into a drowned dog attack.
In this way, the Japanese fleet will have a way to retreat and will not be reluctant to fight; if there are outdated warships, if possible, based on the Japanese tradition, they will not be defeated and flee.
Such a small-scale naval battle may be a long-lasting battle in sea areas that are beneficial to us but not beneficial to the enemy.
If the Chinese navy fails, the Japanese army will not dare to pursue it; if the Japanese navy fails, China can take the opportunity to gain some benefits - at that time, I just wanted to give the fish bombing aircraft on standby time, and also take the opportunity to let the naval fleet train its troops. Think of sinking three destroyers in one fell swoop! If they had known earlier, Song Changzhi and the others would not have placed the other five destroyers on Dazhushan Island.
Carrying them were the old cruiser "Haichen" and the seaplane carrier "Zhenhai", which were commanded by the squadron alone by the captain of the "Haichen" Ling Xiao. They were no strangers to this area of ??water. They had been familiar with the terrain and mastered the water patterns and reef conditions many times before.
On the eve of the attack on the Kwantung Army, their entire fleet raised anchor and set fire to the Bohai Bay. Tasks had been assigned at that time: Chen Jiliang was responsible for the Japanese navy in the Bohai Bay, and Ling Xiao and the others were responsible for blocking the entrance to the Bohai Bay, preventing the Japanese troops from entering or leaving.
Now, I have just received a telegram from Chen Jiliang: "The enemy navy escaped to the open sea. One patrol and one cruiser were both slightly injured, and the rest were wiped out."
The war is coming! Ling Xiao and others have not experienced a real naval battle since joining the army, and now they have to face Asia's top opponent, who is full of power.
It seems that the Japanese navy is not doing well either? Only five destroyers were sent and they were wiped out.More than half of the force of a squadron on the other side! We are more numerous and have more firepower than Captain Chen. If we can't keep them all, we will be embarrassed to see them!
The two seaplanes on the "Zhenhai" aircraft carrier have taken off and are also assisting the carrier in searching for traces of Japanese ships. However, its take-off method is very primitive. It uses the boom of a crane to put the only two carrier-based aircraft into the water and then take off. The same is true for recovery.
Although it is very primitive, it is the originator of China's naval aviation after all. In China with backward equipment, it still has an asymmetric advantage over most domestic armed forces. In the Zhili-Fengtian War, it dropped a total of two bombs, and then it has been docked in Qinhuangdao as a training ship. The Japanese look down upon such a thing.
It has a tonnage of only 2,700 tons and a maximum speed of 10.8 knots, which is not as fast as a normal warship. It is at best a powered arms ship and is originally an armed merchant ship. However, its name is very pleasant: the name "Zhenhai" is taken from the first character of the title "General Zhenwei" given to Zhang Zuolin by the Beiyang government.
After a lot of troubles were taken to release the water machine, there was no news.
"The use of "carrier-based" seaplanes as reconnaissance aircraft is nothing. But not long after, a water jet actually circled back. At this time, air-to-ground dialogue could not be realized. The water plane could only land on the water and then give an important message to the anxious people: Japanese ships were found not far away!
"Haiqi" ??immediately sent electricity to the aviation headquarters in Penglai and ordered the fleet to move forward.
The advantage of the air force is speed. After receiving the order, the Yubo Wing quickly dispatched the first batch of 12 "Yubao-1" squadrons to search and advance in the direction reported to the Chinese fleet. It was called a search because there was no radar at the time. Although there was a general direction, finding two warships on the vast sea was really not an easy task for the nascent naval aviation force.
Fortunately, the Bohai Bay is not big, and the battle area is not far away. The leader of the aircraft group first spotted a black spot that was suspected to be a Japanese warship, and then lowered the altitude and confirmed that it was a Japanese warship. The reason was that in the previous reconnaissance training, at such an altitude, , no destroyers of the People’s Army could be seen at all. According to intelligence, the four destroyers of the Japanese army are not much larger than those of China, and only its flagship is much larger.
How would you feel if Colonel Toshiki Naokami knew that the thickly armored and large-tonnage light cruiser "Yura" he relied on was unfortunately discovered first because of its slightly larger size? But before he could think about it, the Japanese ship's nightmare began. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 868 The first practice of air-to-ship
??
The focused Japanese sailors also discovered the Chinese military plane. But it was just a "discovery", because they had no good way to deal with these roaring objects above their heads.
At this time, the air forces of all countries in the world, including major military powers, are still in the reconnaissance and transportation stages. The real air combat will be ten years later.
Because this new branch of arms was born late in World War I, there was no chance to verify some of the opinions of some "supernatural minds" in the peaceful 1920s. Therefore, it had very little understanding of the damage caused by aircraft bombing, and had little understanding of air defense. , then there is no way to talk about it.
The anti-aircraft guns that had been born during World War I were almost never used in the war. At that time, everyone was focused on studying how to make the cannon more powerful and have a longer range, and there were few opportunities for anti-aircraft training. As for air defense, they are all paper bombers——in Asia, no navy can pose a real threat to Japan.
The same goes for China. This was the first time that an aircraft bombed a warship. Although some pilots had previously bombed the Chinese army on the ground, this was the first time for them to launch powerful torpedoes against moving warships at sea.
So when the leading "Yohon-1" drew a graceful arc in the air, and then crawled towards the "Yura", the sailors on the ship watched in fear as this aerial monster became more and more serious. At a close distance, some people instinctively raised their rifles, while others simply closed their eyes.
The fish and mines were far away from the warship and I don’t know where they drifted. At this time, the accuracy of fish and mines and the level of pilots, cough!
"However, the Japanese Navy is indeed rich in experience. When both sides were stunned, it quickly recovered its good military literacy, loading, aiming, and shooting in one go. The urgently activated ship-borne anti-aircraft guns fired continuously regardless of the cost, and the second "Yuhong-1" was tragically destroyed. It exploded in the air with thick smoke and the regret of unrealized ambitions.
"Yura" has 36 25mm anti-aircraft guns, which is quite powerful. In addition, there are 6 13mm anti-aircraft guns, which is no less powerful than an air defense regiment.
However, the other two aircraft that arrived almost immediately had a chance. They took advantage of the fact that they were "attracted" by the firepower and made a dive to get close to the "Yura". At the same time, two torpedoes were shot out like arrows. . They fell into the water, splashed a little, and then lurked like snakes, arriving in an instant.
I have to say that thanks to the sacrifice of the second plane, we got such a good opportunity. You must know that in that era, due to the lack of precise guidance capabilities, aircraft bombs were dropped by the pilot's naked eyes and a pair of "iron hands" - let's call it clutch.
Due to the inertia of the aircraft and air resistance, basically the farther the distance, the worse the accuracy of bombing. To maximize the chance of destroying a target, the aircraft must be as close to the target as possible. Under the guidance of this idea, the dive bomber came into being and became one of the main models of the Navy in World War II.
Unlike the Navy, the Air Force favors horizontal bombers because of its different combat ideas. This is a national responsibility, and the Air Force's position is to provide firepower support to the Army. For dive bombers, because they carry a small amount of bombs and are easily shot down by ground fire, their entire body begins to be filled with a certain amount of defensive armor, and important parts of the body are protected. Later, they can withstand the impact of 12.7mm bullets.
Although there are advantages, the disadvantages are also obvious: due to its own weight, it cannot carry more bombs, and its range is also relatively short.
The Fish|Thunder bomber is one of them. Due to technical limitations, Yuh-1 only carries one torpedo. In other words, regardless of whether the target is still destroyed, once the button is pressed, it basically has nothing to do with it.
The trajectory of the two fish mines in the water was quickly discovered by the lookout soldiers of the "Yura". After a flurry of commands, the "Yura" rushed to avoid danger. The two torpedoes were actually bypassed, and their hollow explosions sounded in the distance.
Not allowing the "Yura" to be more beautiful than the others, the "Tanikaze" also sounded the sharp sound of anti-aircraft machine guns at this time. However, its firepower is much worse than that of the "Yura": only four 7.7mm machine guns. This is purely for decoration, unless the fish gets into the center of its fire net.
However, the bullet hitting the cockpit also surprised the Yuhong-1 pilot who was pressing the button. With just one evasive action, the torpedo being fired did not know where to hit. In this way, even though he suffered no losses, this trip was in vain.
?? 12 Yubo bombers dropped bombs one by one, and there were loud explosions on the sea, but after the smoke passed, the two Japanese warships still stayed there alive
Huang Shewang, who led the team, flew around the Japanese ship unwillingly. He was an overseas Chinese and was originally a pilot. Zhang Hanqing specially poached Qinhuangdao from the Yunnan Aviation Department. First, he organized the Water Bombing-1 Squadron, then the brigade, and finally became the commander of the first water bombing aircraft wing of the Chinese Navy.After joining two new Yuh-1 brigades, he became the commander of the naval aviation arm of the Bohai Fleet and the first pilot general among the three fleets.
He was originally supposed to take command of this battle, but in order to observe the effect of aircraft on warships at a nearby location, he personally participated in the battle. The young marshal has always believed that the cannons of giant sea ships will give way to naval aviation in the future. As his most loyal supporter, he firmly thinks so.
It’s just that this time I’m afraid the young marshal will be disappointed: a squadron of 12 torpedo bombers was beaten by an already wounded light cruiser and “fleeed”, and also lost a pilot and a fighter plane!
There is indeed a huge gap between the static targets and dynamic targets dealt with in daily training, and the interference of enemy anti-aircraft firepower also has a great psychological impact on pilots. If you have the opportunity, you must strengthen the training in these two aspects. It is best to find some target ships for live-fire drills. You cannot save this money and this step cannot be omitted!
The Yuh-1, which has no weapons, can only be used as a reconnaissance aircraft. In fact, there was no need to conduct reconnaissance. The black smoke rising not far away told him that the detachment of the first destroyer fleet of the Bohai Fleet was speeding towards here. Although there was no result in the previous battle, the Japanese ship's evasive actions interfered with its normal escape speed and attracted the Chinese navy.
There was no point in staying any longer, Huang Shewang signaled to return. This is not far from the base. Fly back quickly and let the second group of bombers come again!
Ling Xiao looked at the fish bomber that returned without success, and thought calmly: "War at sea still relies on cannons. It's difficult to take advantage of others!"
As the captain of the "Hai Chen" armored cruiser, China's largest surface ship, he does not quite agree with the "air victory theory" instilled by Zhang Hanqing. Why should a plane costing about 10,000 yuan want to sink a warship worth millions or even tens of millions of yuan? No, didn’t the Japanese squadron sink a few ships by relying on our destroyers? The remaining two ships are still up to us!
As one of the two largest warships purchased by the Qing government after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the "Haichen" carried the navy's hope and responsibility to avenge its old disgrace. Although there are many studies on the original Sino-Japanese War, thirty years later, when the warships of China and Japan meet again, will they repeat the same mistakes or can they avenge their past humiliation?
History is watching him. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 869: The brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road
"Yura"'s main gun was destroyed, but it still did not lose its attack power. Because it is armed to the teeth, with seven 5.5-inch (140mm) main guns like this. Therefore, when faced with an interception composed of six Chinese navy ships, Toshiki Naokami was not afraid:
According to information obtained before the war, the Chinese Navy's Bohai Fleet in Qingdao only has two surface destroyer fleets, with a maximum of 16 "Jiujiang" class destroyers with a displacement of 1,200 tons.
This kind of destroyer is each equipped with four 4-inch cannons of less than 102mm, and its firepower is much worse than that of our own fleet. Even the "Tanikaze" has three 120mm naval guns. One-on-one or even one-on-two, the "Tanikaze" can have the upper hand. The reason why three warships were lost before was not because of the Chinese navy, but because of concerns about its shore artillery. At that time, the entire fleet had been severely damaged and was at the mouth of the narrowest Bohai Bay.
Now that the sea is open, it is suitable for a head-on confrontation, and it can also test the true strength of the China Navy. If the Kwantung Army Headquarters could accept his request beforehand, he would be confident of annihilating the Chinese Navy with the 17th Squadron alone!
As for the "Haichen" whose firepower rivals our own, don't worry about it: this old cruiser, although equipped with three larger-caliber 150mm German Krupp rapid-fire cannons, its fatal injury is speed - ——Maximum 19.5 knots. The "Yura" can rely on its high speed - 36 knots to implement guerrilla tactics against it, and use its heavy artillery to severely damage the China destroyer.
He also forgot about another Chinese seaplane carrier, the "Zhenhai". In fact, Ling Xiao also "forgot" it.
When moving forward at full speed, the Chinese Navy's showy status is undoubtedly exposed: the "Jiujiang" class destroyer has 35 knots, the "Haichen" has 19.5 knots, and the "Zhenhai" has only 10.8 knots!
According to the "barrel principle", the overall strength of a team is determined by the lame "plank". The slow speed of the "Zhenhai" is actually a reflection of the strength of the Chinese navy. Slow down, just slow down, let the destroyer go up and drag it first.
"Yura" began to accelerate, and Toshiki decided to adopt loitering tactics to counter the firepower of the Chinese Navy destroyer and avoid the "Haichen", which had stronger firepower. As long as these five faster destroyers can be eliminated, the "Haichen" will not be a problem in the end. Naval battles rely on firepower, armor and speed. The former is basically the same, but the latter two have a huge advantage!
So, the "Yura" and the "Tanikaze" sailed toward the northeast at full speed. The advantage of this is that it can avoid the oncoming Chinese fleet to the greatest extent, attracting its destroyers to catch up, so as to exert the power of its side string guns - its main gun has been destroyed, and it can deal with a large number of Chinese warships The correct solution to the encirclement situation is to fight while walking.
Seeing that the Japanese ship was about to run away, Ling Xiao decisively ordered his five destroyers to speed up the interception. This is a God-given opportunity, giving me the opportunity to use concentrated forces to defeat such a small fleet. If its "United Fleet" comes, no matter how indignant it is, it must be avoided at a distance - just one "King Kong-class" can really sweep the three major fleets!
"Boom!" This is the roar issued by the "Yura". First, enter its range. The advantage of large-caliber long-range is not in vain. It is at least three nautical miles farther than the Chinese navy. The Chinese fleet has to endure five minutes of shelling before it can fight back. This is what all countries favor in the era of giant ships and cannons. The power lies.
“These are five minutes of death and five minutes of resignation. Several "Jiujiang" class destroyers have already increased their horsepower, so they are unable to deal with the Japanese ship's shells.
If you don’t encounter it, it’s a blessing; if you encounter it, it’s a bad luck. Only by getting closer can the four-inch cannons of each ship have a chance to work.
After a round of calibration fire, the "Yura"'s cannon began to approach, and you could even hear the impact of the opponent's shells being loaded. However, God is also favoring the Chinese. At least so far, no warships have been injured.
Good luck will run out. At the moment when it crossed the "demarcation line of death", a "Jiujiang" class ship was hit and a huge fire broke out in the sky.
This is the strength of the Japanese navy. The thick smoke also gave Naokami Toshiki some comfort, but the thick smoke also blocked the view. When another Chinese destroyer emerged from the smoke, the two were within range of each other. To be precise, China has the power to fight back.
But don’t be afraid to go straight up. He knew the performance of China's destroyer's three-inch cannon. In naval battles, large-caliber guns had obvious advantages. It's okay if you take a shot from it, but if it is hit by a shot from you, it won't be as simple as blowing a hole.
"Revenge for the Hamakaze and the others!" This is Yura's idea. He ordered the gunnery officer: "Aim and shoot!"
Although only half of the six 140mm cannons can be used, their power is extraordinary. Due to the head-on interception of the Chinese destroyer, the sideguns could not exert their power. Only the three-inch gun on the bow could be used, so Japan had a great advantage.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??Naval battles are not as simple as two being greater than one. There are factors such as sea conditions, comprehensive operations, and luck. The artillery bombardment that often occurred for more than ten nautical miles only had a chance based on luck and incredible advantages.
The last "Jiujiang" class destroyer was unlucky. It bypassed the injured friendly ship and traveled at high speed to quickly bite the Japanese ship and create opportunities for the rear ship. The "Yura" fired two rounds of shelling, but failed to stop it. After approaching about four nautical miles, the ship's cannon finally fired up.
Although it missed, the "Yura" had to give way to one side to allow its naval guns to exert their power. If they stick too close, the difference between a cruiser and a destroyer will be too small.
But this ship is like a fly eyeing a piece of fat. Because it was going straight and fast, it was almost enough to get on the tail of the "Yura".
In a naval battle, getting bitten on the butt is not a good thing. The "Yura" did not have a tail gun, and its butt was a blind spot, so the superiors ordered the warship to turn around and use the side guns to deal with this desperate destroyer again.
The black hole of the gun muzzle is already visible, and the warship numbered 005 is completely exposed to the opponent's gun muzzle. Naturally, this is also when one's own artillery can exert its power.
Liu Xiaoyaozi is a recent recruit, but with his outstanding talent, he became the main gunner of this warship. However, after all, this is the first time to participate in actual combat, and facing such a fierce opponent, it is impossible not to beat the drum in my heart. This is also the training process of soldiers.
This ship has a high speed, will it avoid it? According to the knowledge gained in daily training, naval gun attack is not the strength of the destroyer. During the First and Second World Wars, destroyers were used to attack torpedo boats and submarines, and had the ability to launch torpedoes; in the UK, they were mainly used for peripheral security work or as escorts for merchant ships.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When China only has these, if it is not used, how about using a smaller tonnage "Hankou" class gunboat? "Jiujiang" can hold on for a while, but "Hankou" can only fight guerrillas. Not to mention that the power of its 75mm naval gun is too small and the range is too close, but its thin armor is bound to sink if it is hit by a shot.
So Captain You Keshu calmly issued the order: "Every gun can fire freely and aim at the Yura!"
"At such a close distance, the "Jiujiang" class is also capable of fighting. Liu Xiaoyaozi calibrated it carefully and then pulled the ignition device. After a deafening roar, with a faint tail flame, the cannon ejected from the chamber and penetrated directly into the right side of the "Yura"'s ribs, blasting a hole as big as a bucket, and then a plume of thick smoke came out of its cabin. .
bingo! Seeing the busy sailors on the Japanese ship, Liu Xiaoyao was very happy.
But the "Yura" is a warship of considerable tonnage after all, and this wound is just a lick, far from breaking the bones. After suffering a loss, he went straight to the gun and ordered: "Sink this Chinese warship!"
005, who became the target of special attention, was immediately surrounded by artillery. Just the air flow brought out by the water column soaring into the sky was enough to lift a running sailor into the water.
I couldn’t care less, so I just threw out a lifebuoy in a hurry, and 005 fell into a sea of ??fire. The close range shelling made its armor look even more delicate. Its bow had been penetrated, and the surface of the ship seemed to have been swept. The power of the high-velocity cannon is fatal to the target.
However, 005 is still moving forward. At such a close distance, there is no way to retreat. If you get out of the way, you are giving the Japanese ship a target; on the contrary, if you move forward head on, the power of the ship's gun can be reflected.
"Even if we hit it, we will sink it!" This was Captain You Keshu's thought. The Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War was a shame for the Chinese Navy. Almost the entire fleet was lost, but they failed to capture any Japanese warships! This time, although there is still a disparity in strength, he will personally avenge the Chinese Navy, even if they both die together.
?Zhi Shang Toshishu was surprised. If you are too stunned, you will be afraid of being violent, and if you are too stunned, you will be afraid of losing your life. They are not afraid of the tightness of your ship and your guns, and they don’t care whether they are beaten into fallen leaves by you. They just want your life! While he ordered: "Advance at full speed!" he shouted loudly: "Fish|Thunder soldiers are ready!"
"Yura" carries 6 fish mine launchers, including 2 on the flanks. This is an improved 61 cm torpedo launcher tube, which can launch the astonishingly powerful Type 93 sour torpedo, which is the "Lance" torpedo that later shocked Britain and the United States. This makes this class of ship even more capable. The fleet determines the status of the main force of cruisers. It is not unreasonable for the Japanese Navy to use it as the flagship of the squadron.
Now it’s time for it to show off its power. Then, the clear water rippled, and two fish mines popped up silently.
If it is hit by any of these torpedoes, a warship of such a small tonnage as the "Jiujiang" class will be scrapped on the spot or directly sunk. There have been legends in history that American ships were lifted into the sky by the air waves generated by explosions.
But it also has a fatal weakness: its accuracy is too poor, and it can be regarded as the ancestor of "fire and forget". There is another even more deceptive thing, which is the damage to friendly ships: they often make their own mistakes - of course, the ship will not admit it even if it is killed, but its opponent, the United States, once fairly attacked it when summing up battlefield experience. The halo of sinking a Japanese warship gave themselves.
That was the accuracy of World War II, let alone now. In line with the essence of "launch and forget", the two torpedoes disappeared, and the soaring water column that Zhishang expected to see did not appear.
Chinese destroyers are still charging. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Too bad, it can be regarded as the ancestor of "fire and forget".

Chapter 870 I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood
However, the war still had to be fought. Faced with the high-speed rush of Chinese warships, the Japanese sailors also picked up their guns.
Preparations are needed to launch torpedoes again, and the Chinese warships are already firing their naval guns at the "Yura" desperately. The side cannon, which had nothing to do, actually fired at the "Tanikaze" class on its left front. What a bully!
Using destroyers to fight cruisers, there is still room to provoke another warship of similar tonnage and superior firepower. What is this rhythm? Only crew member No. 005 understood: The future is uncertain. Since we have nothing to do, why not try firing the cannon? Anyway, if the warship sinks, the shells will be wasted!
Zhishang was angry, but he also admired the other captain: Soldiers should die vigorously! He ordered the gunner: "Replace with shotgun shells and smooth its deck!" At such a close distance, the power of shotgun shells can be fully exerted.
A shell fell on the 005 ship, and the soldiers and gunners who were loading ammunition died on the spot. Not only that, another artillery position was also affected, and several people were seriously injured.
No. 005's cannon went silent. What's even worse is that the captain was also hit by shrapnel. The glass in front of You Keshu's command tower was shattered, and a piece of shrapnel fell on his head. You Keshu fell into a pool of blood with unwillingness to achieve his ambition. Before losing his mind, he still said: "Agent!"
Screams and fire and smoke enveloped the entire ship. Without a command, 005 is like a leaf drifting on the sea, in danger of being swept away by the waves at any time. Who represents? The vice-captain was directing the ship's guns on the deck just now. Where was he? The second mate was not here either, and no one had time to search in this chaotic situation.
Chief Engineer Mo Yaoming decisively took over the command: "I have been ordered to act as captain, and the bow torpedo is ready to be launched!"
Being so close, the cannons are gone, and the only ones that can produce power are fish and mines. Just as the warship adjusted its direction to launch the fish and mine, the observation post shouted: "There is a fish and mine!"
That was the second round of torpedoes launched by the "Yura", coming with thin traces like two white lines riding the wind and waves. According to the trajectory, No. 005 can still avoid it, but the torpedo launch from the bow of the ship will inevitably be suspended.
Do you want to hide? The screams on the ship continued, and the billowing smoke from the friendly ships continued. Mo Yaoming hesitated for a moment, but considering the gap in firepower and the opportunity that the ship had finally found, he still ordered to continue firing. If the "Yura" is not severely damaged, the losses of the Bohai Fleet will be even greater! It has the advantage of long-range artillery fire.
The Japanese ship also spotted the incoming torpedo and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Turn thirty degrees to the right, emergency avoidance!"
But how can such a huge body move at will? Since it is facing the Chinese warship from the side to exert the power of the string cannon, such a wide hull is a good time for fish and mines to show their talents. Although the "Yura" has a better speed, it is still not faster than the arrival of death. One torpedo was passed by, but another hit its tail fin.
With the thunderous explosion, the tail of the "Yura" was a sea of ??fire. The astonishing power of the fish mine blew up its rudder.
Almost at the same time, two torpedoes attached to the left and right strings of No. 005 exploded. The destroyer trembled, and two large holes were opened in each case, and sea water gurgled in. According to such battle losses, the warship will definitely not be saved.
This is a strategy of perish together. The Chinese warships were severely damaged, but the Japanese warships were not easy either.
Without motivation, it is a living target. Without support, it will sooner or later be sunk by Chinese warships with power advantages. A group of tiger sharks and long whales fight with each other, and the result is predictable.
The No. 005 ship was replied to allow it to evacuate the battlefield. Mo Yaoming ordered the warship to stagger out of the Yuliang's fire range while conducting safety inspections. If the damage is serious, he will order the ship to be abandoned.
The only three rubber boats on the ship were also put down. After the lightly and seriously injured were transferred to the boats, he still paid attention to the changes in the battlefield.
Ling Xiao, who was commanding the fleet, witnessed the tragic situation of the naval battle. His ship "Hai Chen" was too slow, so he boarded a destroyer and took command, letting the old "Zhen Hai" accompany "Hai Chen" slowly. Let's go. He calmly ordered the other three warships: "Let go of the Yura and attack the Tanikaze together!"
With the advantage of having more ships, let’s sink the “Tanikaze” first, and then turn around to deal with the “Yura”. Otherwise, if the "Yura" is sunk, the "Tanikaze" will naturally escape - based on the artillery battle just now, it can be seen that the Chinese warship's firepower is too weak and it may not be able to fatally strike the enemy.
If you want to kill them all in one litter, you have to start with the ones that can run.
He thinks too much.
It is said that "Tanikaze" is not slow, but it is not the style of the Japanese navy to escape from battle - if you really do this, you will either be executed or die of shame for the rest of your life. Why not rely on Big Brother to protect you? "Yu Liang"?It can't move, but fighting is still no problem. Its remaining six 5.5-inch cannons are still not matchable by the Chinese navy.
It turns out that "Gufeng" was accompanied by "Yu Liang", and it was very powerful for a period of time. With the rough skin of the "Yura" in front, it took the opportunity to fire a lot of cannons. Fortunately, the firepower was not fierce and it only rubbed the skin of a destroyer.
Now, a new round of destroyer duel begins. The only advantage of Chinese destroyers is speed. The top speed is said to be 35 nautical miles per hour. Although it is difficult to penetrate the armor of the "Yura" at a distance of 5 nautical miles, it is still confident to deal with the "Tanikaze". Therefore, the "Tanikaze" wisely stayed close to the stern of the "Yura", not only to protect her dangerous back, but also to rely on the cannons on the ship to avoid worries.
The two warships are like brothers who depend on each other, tightly connected. This battle is not easy to fight.
Ling Xiao secretly praised the cleverness of the "Gu Feng", but it also played into his own ambitions. As long as you don't leave, many things will be easy to handle. Although it is difficult for the two of them to break through when they are grouped together, just like the shore guns, although they are fierce, there is no threat if they are far away from its range. The Tanikaze's original advantage of speed and hope of escaping from the battlefield were now given up by itself.
Ling Xiao ordered three destroyers to attack Tanikaze from the stern of the "Yura": This is a relatively safe place. The "Yura" can only spin in place because the tail rudder was damaged, and the flexibility of the destroyers was fully utilized. , and can avoid its sharp side cannon as much as possible.
As for the "Tanikaze"'s naval gun of similar caliber (120mm), as long as it is not on the core, even if it hits the body with a few shots, it will not cause much damage. This is also the reason why various countries' naval guns are getting bigger and bigger and the tonnage of warships is increasing before and after World War I. One of the big reasons. The cannon is too small and ineffective!
Hundreds of shells were fired each, and the "Tanikaze" only received a few shells on the deck and one shot on the string. Although some people died, it did not harm the overall situation.
Ling Xiao arranged for each ship to practice "target practice" while anxiously waiting for the arrival of the lagging "Haichen" ship. With the power of the 150mm rapid-fire cannon on it, the "Tanikaze" could not take a few hits from it, and even the "Yura" could only survive in vain.
Next to it, the 005 ship that was flooded on both sides miraculously stopped its damage after closing two valves. Mo Yaoming, who had already ordered the ship to be abandoned, was carrying the seriously injured and unconscious Captain You Keshu and other injured people into the ship's small boat. After letting go, he decisively ordered to continue firing torpedoes at the "Yura".
The three destroyers are unable to deal with such a light cruiser, and only torpedoes can attack it.
"Fish | Lei Bing, check the situation."
The reply to him was good news: "Reporting to the chief engineer, except for torpedoes No. 3, 4, 5 and 6, the other torpedoes are in good condition." These are close to the side cabin, so it is normal for them to be affected. "Jiujiang "Class" has 12 fish | detonators, which does not have much impact on combat.
As long as you can fight!
Mo Yaoming ordered the power cabin: "Add full power and get closer to the enemy ship!" In order to increase accuracy, the closer the better, but the accuracy of the opponent's artillery is also the highest. This is an eternal contradiction.
Not far away, the No. 005 ship "came back to life" surprised Zhishang, who was immersed in the battlefield situation. After thirty years of service in the military, this was the first warship that frightened him. Although its firepower is weaker, its close-up attacks, especially those of fish and mines, are deadly. This hard work, this courage not to be afraid of death, is exactly what the navy needs. It can't even walk unsteadily, what else do you want to do?
He did not deliberately avoid its gunfire, but just charged forward. Every time you get closer, you become more confident. The immobile "Yura" is the best target for torpedoes. During this section of the road, I had no ideas and no time to consider the flying and whistling shells. I only had one belief: get closer, get closer!
Ling Xiao watched in surprise as the staggering 005 ship got into the barrage of the "Yura". The desperate fighting style made him wet instantly. Comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms, dear brothers, only at this time can the feelings of "brothers fighting tigers" fully burst out. No. 005 has been seriously injured and cannot be left to risk alone. He displayed the signal: "Get close and shoot, cover 005!"
Regardless of the rain of bullets, the three "Jiujiang" class ships were also at full power. Each ship poured shells onto the "Tanikaze" desperately, quickly opening a gap here.
"Tanikaze" is made of iron, but its people are not. This dense rain of bombardment completely stunned them. Although it cannot be sunk, the Chinese navy's shotguns have repeatedly plowed the movable items on its surface. The unmanned naval guns can no longer be activated, and the warship is a floating coffin. If it is still lethal, it is only fish | mine.
But the Chinese Navy has already taken action first. The three ships launched a salvo, and six torpedoes hit the "Tanikaze" from all directions, making it impossible for it to dodge. Already surrounded by an arc, it had no way to retreat, and it was unable to eat up the Chinese warships. It could only wait to see the fish|mines come towards it, and then hopelessly avoid them.
Ship No. 005 over there has made a big breakthrough. Due to the water entering the side string, the warship was semi-calm, but it gave the "Yura" the feeling of a dog biting a hedgehog but unable to bite it. The bow of the ship was originally the thickest part of the armor, and the thin parts were submerged under the water. As a result, the cannonballs splashed up but did no substantial damage.
There was no one on the deck at all - apart from the sacrificed ones and those who were wounded and sent away, there were only a few people left, and now they are all in the cabin. In this battle, there was no such thing as naval guns, but we were rushing to send fish and mines! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com), and then hopelessly evaded.

Chapter 871 Bite and Kill
The hurried "Yura" also used the magic weapon: fish | thunder. Since the problem cannot be solved from above, it must be solved from below.
It twisted its huge hull to adjust to a better launch position. Just as he ordered the launch, he felt sparkling waves in the distance, and two fish | mines rushed towards this side happily. He yelled, "No!" !”
Unlike humans who still have eye contact, the two torpedoes of the "Yura" had no communication at all when they intersected with the torpedo launched by 005, and they each moved towards their own goals. The four fish | thunders each go their own way, quite like "you go your way, I go my single-plank bridge".
Looking at the angle of the fish | mine, I shouted straight up: "Full left rudder!" Although the rudder is broken, it can still spin in place. With a heart-stopping "squeak" sound, the iron chain connected to the rudder that was moved in the cockpit rubbed against the ship's surface and made a harsh sound, but people ignored it.
There was only a slight shock, as if something was placed on the bottom of the boat and hit it. Everyone's fear disappeared with a loud noise, because the dead don't know fear.
In the middle of the bottom of the ship, violent air waves tore a large hole more than two meters wide in the "Yura". The turbulent water rushed in quickly. Several sailors in the cabin were thrown heavily by the waves, and then fell heavily and were smashed. On the inner wall, there is no muffled sound, and it seems that it is dead.
The huge changes in the "Yura" made the "Tanikaze" sober up. What if we continue to fight? Now that the friendly ship has been seriously injured and "died", according to regulations, it can be evacuated. Therefore, the "Gufeng" flew a flag: "Please take care, I will avenge you."
"I didn't leave just now, but now I want to leave. How can it be so easy?" Looking at the battlefield situation, the "Yura" is sinking, but the No. 005 ship is actually unharmed!
Due to the difficulty of the "Yura" turning, the two torpedoes launched by the torpedo soldiers at the extreme position all slipped away when the 005 ship evaded, and the "Yura" itself was not spared. In this way, the 005 ship, which was seriously injured but still capable of fighting, could be responsible for finishing the battle. At the same time, he could take care of the friendly ships whose fire was getting smaller. He and the other two destroyers pursued the fleeing Japanese ships.
So I decided happily. Mo Yaoming watched the "Yura" slowly submerging in the water with his telescope from a distance with excitement. He never expected that this big thing of more than 5,500 tons would fall into his hands!
But the "Taniwind" was not so happy.
It decided to run away without delay. While everyone was paying attention to the "Yura", it left quietly without taking a single cloud with it.
The Lingxiao ships were originally trying to reinforce the No. 005 ship. When they saw the Japanese ship launching, they thought it was to avenge the "Yura" and deal with the seriously injured No. 005 ship, so they tried their best to get closer to it. Unexpectedly, the "Gufeng" took a false shot and ran away. When he realized what was happening, the accelerating Japanese ship was already ten miles away.
If the "Yura" escapes, they may not necessarily pursue it. After all, their hull is there, and their firepower is far more powerful than theirs. Don't steal what you lose. But the "Tani Feng" is not afraid. We are all in the same boat, and I am the one who bullies the few because there are more people, and I don't take advantage of it!
So the first pursuit battle at sea after World War I began. They are all driving at high speeds, fighting for their lives, and the intensity is not ordinary.
However, the "Jiujiang" class is not used for ocean going. Its bottom is flat and its draft is shallow. It was originally built to protect the coastline. Zhang Hanqing first introduced it to be able to "run unimpeded" in the Yangtze River and defeat the Zhizhi and Sichuan warlords. , and established relations with the United States and started the navy.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT???
So after the high-speed pursuit, its shortcomings began to appear, and the undulating waves made the crew dizzy. Even though the officers and soldiers had received a certain degree of training, they still couldn't bear the bumps. According to this situation, even if we catch up with the Japanese ships, we won't be able to fight them!
Ling Xiao stomped his feet bitterly: With such a good advantage, it was not possible to wipe out all enemy ships. What a waste! He was not a pedantic person. The sailors had endured a fierce battle for half a day and urgently needed a break to comfort their hearts after the first battlefield.
And the post-war summary is very important. After all, it is a battle of blood and fire. There are many aspects that will provide quite useful reference for China's naval construction! If you've already won, don't add any unnecessary fuss. It's important to arrange the next things quickly. The war has just begun!
"Perhaps, or rather hope, the Japanese ship can encounter the 'Haichen'?" He murmured. However, thinking about the speed of the "Haichen", he felt sad again, "After this battle is over, the Navy Command must be required to build a larger and faster warship!"
The captain of the "Tanikaze" Yoshizawa wiped water from his face, and he didn't know whether it was tears or sweat.??
This is why after World War II, large-caliber naval guns were replaced by guided missiles, but torpedoes were able to be retained for a long time, despite their short range.
Although the "Tanikaze" is fast, it is still not faster than the fish | mines. After it made a desperate turn, the torpedo still hit its tail string. There was a loud noise, its rear body trembled violently, and then the entire tail was ripped off.
Seeing the dense fish | mines coming towards them from all directions, Yoshizawa and his crew wanted to do something, but they could not do anything until there were continuous loud "bang bang" noises, but they were hit by one and ten. It's all the same result. "Tanikaze" became the best object for live-fire exercises of China's new naval aviation force and will go down in history forever.

Chapter 872 Crossing the Yalu River
The victory in the Guandong Prefecture battlefield greatly strengthened Zhang Hanqing's determination to enter the DPRK and continue to expand the results of the war, and also gave the People's Army confidence - since the established elite Japanese army could be completely wiped out in a short period of time, then the war boasted by the Japanese The invincible front is like a wooden house built on the beach, which collapsed under the impact of big waves.
At the same moment when the Battle of Guandong Prefecture started, the 14th Army stationed in Dandong also launched a surprise attack to compete for the Yalu River Bridge in Dandong.
This railway and road bridge connecting the only transportation between China and North Korea was the key to being invincible in the war against Japan: if the situation developed in China's favor, the People's Army could use this bridge to achieve rapid maneuvers. , when North Korea and Japan enter a stalemate stage, complete the established strategy;
If the Kwantung Army fails in the first battle or falls into a stalemate, blowing up the bridge will allow the Japanese army to stand across the Yalu and Tumen rivers, giving them a chance to achieve a stalemate with Japan in the northeastern mainland.
Of course this is the worst-case scenario.
Originally, the main force of the 19th Division of the Japanese and Korean Army was on the line from Sinuiju to Pyongyang. After the Sino-Japanese War started, the division commander Juichi Terauchi rushed back at night and transferred the main force to Sinuiju.
Since it was not known how far the People’s Army had extended into northeastern Korea, the 20th Division of Hayashi Ichiro stationed in Seoul also deployed troops overnight to the line from Heecheon to Hamhung as the right wing of the 19th Division.
This wise decision quickly reversed the situation where the Japanese troops were at a loss. It allowed the officers of each department to wake up from the shock, gradually showed the well-trained military literacy of the Japanese troops, and stabilized the situation in northern Korea.
At this time, the 30th Army, which had extended into North Korea, had broken through the Namdae River, and the forwards had arrived in Iwon. After hearing that the Japanese army was deployed in Hamhung, Sun Liangcheng understood that the People's Army had lost the conditions for a surprise attack, and ordered the entire army to search and advance with a small number of infantry and assemble the main force in preparation for a big battle.
The destruction of the Kwantung Army made it possible for the People's Army to resolve its worries and enter the DPRK to participate in the war.
Due to the decisiveness and bravery of the 14th Army, the poorly prepared 19th Division of the Japanese and Korean Army continued to retreat under the fierce attacks of the People's Army. It successively abandoned the defense of Longchuan, Yanzhou, Xuanzhou and Dingzhou, and decisively abandoned the defense of Ningzhou. Bochuan on the east bank of the river placed all its main forces on the line between Jiechuan and Sinanju to the east of Qingjiangchuan. Together with the defenders of Heecheon of the 20th Division upstream, they wanted to defend by the river and wait for the arrival of reinforcements to fight the People's Army.
Under this circumstance, the People's Army sang loudly all the way, and troops transferred to the DPRK from all walks of life crossed the Yalu River and assembled in Sinuiju.
"Bold and vigorous,
High-spirited,
Across the Yalu River,
Keep peace,
Defend the motherland,
It’s about protecting your hometown.
Good sons and daughters of China,
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? United together
Resisting Japan and aiding Korea,
Defeat the Japanese ambitious wolf. "
In August 1928, the gurgling Yalu River showed people a spectacular scene: on the bridge, military columns loaded with soldiers and baggage were speeding eastward like lightning. This is the scene when the Sichuan Army led by Sun Liangcheng of the 36th Army of the Chengdu Military Region left the motherland and rushed to the Korean battlefield.
On the river surface, which was filled with a strong and choking smell of fire and medicine, soldiers from the Shang Zhen Department of the 18th Army of the Wuhan Military Region to Aid Korea and the Yang Sen Department of the 35th Army of the Wuhan Military Region were stepping on a long temporary pontoon bridge, accompanied by loud singing. , quickly rushed to the other side of the river. At this time, this majestic and loud singing voice, combined with the roar of enemy planes from time to time in the sky, played a powerful and passionate symphony
In this war against Japan, taking into account the rapidly changing battlefield conditions and the strong strength of the Japanese army at sea, in order to prevent China's southeastern coast from being pressured by the Japanese navy and its marines, basically all troops participating in the war chose to be inland. Major military regions, such as Wuhan, Chengdu, Lanzhou, etc., and the Guangzhou, Nanjing, and Jinan military regions, which are on the front line along the coast, are not included in Zhang Hanqing's troop dispatches except for the full military alert.
The three armies of the Chengdu Military Region have all been dispatched. This is a foolish move taking into account that the situation in the southwest is not urgent and the Sichuan army has inconvenient transportation into North Korea. Of course, the reserve army is also stepping up preparations.
Because of the joining of forces from major military regions and the consideration of the protracted war against Japan in the future, Zhang Hanqing obtained Zhang Zuolin's approval and appointed Ji Yiqiao as the commander-in-chief of the People's Army in North Korea. A team has been established and sent to Dandong as a temporary headquarters. Because the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, this headquarters will control all troops entering the DPRK to participate in the war and have full authority to organize the battle without any restrictions.
As various departments of the People’s Army continue to enter the DPRK, it has become necessary to enrich the command system of each department. Zhang Hanqing imitated the corps structure of later generations and organized the 14th and 34th corps of the Shenyang Military Region into North Korea into the 1st Corps, with Jing Dewen and Dong Yingbin as the chief and deputy commanders;
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Incorporate the two full infantry corps of the Beidahuang Construction Corps into the 3rd Corps, to provide strategic support for the mobile troops and the east and west sides.answer;
The four armies 18th, 30th, 35th and 36th on the front battlefield were organized into the 2nd Corps. The former commander of the Chengdu Military Region, Lieutenant General Jing Youyan, was the commander——it was no longer interesting for him, a polished commander, to stay in central Sichuan. The three corps not only operate independently in the east, middle and west directions, but also act as horns to each other.
Because of the victory over the Kwantung Army, the People's Army has lost the possibility of a surprise attack. There has not yet been a chance to form huge support in Japan. The idea of ??whether to launch a larger battle and win a new victory in North Korea is on the desks of Zhang and Han.
Basically at present, Japan does not have the ability to fight on two fronts. This war came too suddenly, and they were not prepared for it. As long as the Japanese army is held back in Korea and exerts increasing pressure, Japan will not have the guts to give up the springboard of Korea and find a second battlefield. It will inevitably form the lowest form of confrontation in Korea. This is Zhang Hanqing's established strategy. plan.
According to intelligence, the Japanese 6th Division, which has the fastest reinforcements, landed in Busan on the evening of August 6th and will arrive in Pyongyang by train as soon as the afternoon of the 7th. If we attack with the main force at this moment, it is feasible to defeat the two scattered Japanese divisions and make them retreat across the board. However, we must prevent them from joining forces to form a rear force, which will bring difficulties and adverse consequences to future annihilation battles.
Although Zhang Hanqing's strategic idea is to form a stalemate in North Korea, such a stalemate from the beginning is not good for China: first, the geographical location on the battlefield is unfavorable to China, and second, the Japanese army has not been beaten, maimed, and completely lost confidence in victory. Under the circumstances, an armistice is basically impossible.
A better approach is to eliminate one of the two Japanese divisions before Japanese reinforcements arrive.
Which one to fight first? Many people's idea is to first eat the 19th Division and then occupy Pyongyang. After that, Northeast Korea will basically lose its strategic value. The Japanese army will definitely stalemate with the People's Army in Pyongyang, thus achieving the established strategy - this idea is the most feasible. Because the main force of the 2nd Corps is in front of it, and it is very close to Pyongyang.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yiqiao rejected this opinion. In his long-term combat experience with Zhang Hanqing, he was sensitively aware that the Japanese army should also be well aware of these so-called advantages of the People's Army. The 19th Division was deployed along the east side of the Qingchuan River, with Miaoxiang Mountain to the north, so they were not suitable for large-scale sneak attacks.
If the frontal battlefield is defeated, the Japanese army has a good chance of retreating to Pyongyang and holding on. Because Pyongyang has been occupied by the Japanese for many years, it retains considerable strength and has a large amount of baggage, which is suitable for holding on.
Under this situation, the People's Army has only advanced a little, which will not satisfy Zhang Hanqing and Ji Yiqiao who are not limited to the gains and losses of one city or one place.
The 20th Division is on the east coast, far away from the center of Japanese power. Moreover, the northeastern part of North Korea is mountainous, which is unfavorable to the movements of both sides, but there is a chance to achieve an encirclement and annihilation situation. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 873 Siege and Call for Reinforcement (Part 1)
Almost at the same time as each road was going on, a telegram from the headquarters was conveyed to all ministries:
The First Corps immediately marched southward and divided its forces into two groups. One group went south from Huzhanhu to attack Rongguang, and the other group along the coast and Pingluo Railway captured Xinpu and Jiulongli.
The Third Corps gave full play to the advantages of infantry and advanced through the mountains and valleys. It wanted to cut off the 20th Division's retreat to Pyongyang and the central part of the country and wait for opportunities to harass the 19th Division so that it would not dare to support the 20th Division. It is possible to take action, and the second is to threaten its retreat, shake its determination to stick to it, and force it to make plans to retreat.
On August 18, the forward troops of the Japanese 6th Division entered Pyongyang. On the same day, the various units of the 3rd Corps of the People's Army completed their insertion and unexpectedly occupied Daxing, the middle line between Heecheon and Hamhung, cutting off the connection between the two brigades around the 20th Division.
On the same day, Division Commander Hayashi Ichiro received a reconnaissance report that the People's Army was found on the banks of the Longxing River originating from the Dafeng Mountains. The stationed 8th Border Guard Team was fighting fiercely with an infantry regiment of the People's Army in Sichuan. The People's Army The army designation is the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Construction Division.
Longxingjiang River is an important thoroughfare from Northeast Korea to and from Pyongyang. Sichuan is also the gateway to the central and northern parts of the country. The Pingluo Railway is an important fulcrum in the direction of Seoul. The strategic location is very important. When he suddenly discovered that his retreat was cut off, Lieutenant General Lin Xian, who had rich combat experience, keenly felt that the People's Army was about to attack his 20th Division.
If we wisely abandon Hamhung at this time and move the main force southward, we will not only have the opportunity to annihilate part of the People's Army deep inside the territory, but also be able to retreat to Pyongyang calmly; the other brigade can also retreat from Heecheon along Myohyang Mountain to the 19th Division position , thus preserving all strength, gathering the strength of three divisions to form a strategic confrontation with the People's Army in Pyongyang, and waiting for continued domestic support to wait for an opportunity for a decisive battle.
But Lieutenant General Lin Xian had another glimmer of luck: the People's Army that broke into Longxing River was only a small group. According to calculations, an infantry regiment of the People's Army only has more than 3,000 people, which is about the same number as the 8th Border Guards. However, the Japanese army is well-trained, equipped with better weapons, and has a convenient location for long-term operations. The 8th Border Guards completely wiped out this group of people. The military is not impossible.
Subsequently, a telegram from the General Staff Headquarters strengthened his idea. Frankly speaking, he didn't want to make any further plans to retreat. After the Kwantung Army was completely wiped out, the clamor for war in Japan reached a climax, and public opinion for revenge for the Second Division was overwhelming. The Japanese Army was also under pressure from the Navy, which was eager to counterattack in terms of political and military influence, and could no longer retreat. possible.
The order given to him by the Army Staff Headquarters was: "The first part of the 6th Division will ensure its rear defense. The task of the 20th Division is to hold on to this line of defense and open up the connection with the 39th Brigade, that is, to reoccupy Daxing, so as to Give domestic support forces time."
Therefore, he ordered the 39th Brigade and the 40th Brigade accompanying the division headquarters to attack the enemy in Daxing from both sides to ensure that the defense line was not lost. He also ordered the officers and soldiers of the 6th Division to cooperate with the 8th Border Guards to encircle and suppress the People's Army stranded in Longxing River. 3rd Corps Troops.
The eyes of the high-level officials from both sides were all fixed on the hard-to-find tiny place on the map of Daxing. If China wins it, the Japanese 20th Division will be under attack from the north and the south and will inevitably retreat across the board. The People's Army will easily attack Pyongyang from the north and east, and will lose nearly 1/3 of North Korea's territory. owned by the Japanese army;
"And if the Japanese army captures it, the People's Army deep behind enemy lines will have no way to retreat and will be completely wiped out.
Just as the Japanese 6th Division was dispatching troops to launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression campaign in Longxingjiang to save face for the Japanese army, an unexpected situation occurred: the Japanese 8th Border Guard Corps, which responded to the order, came out from its home base of Sichuan Defense Lines. Suddenly he was surrounded by a large army that seemed to fall from the sky, unable to advance or retreat;
And the People's Army in Daxing changed from a regiment to a division, and then new numbers kept appearing. The strength of no less than 3 divisions pinned the 40th brigade in the depression between Daxing and the Dafeng Mountains;
Immediately after Hamhung's defeat, the People's Army forward appeared on the north bank of the Longhung River, 50 miles west of Jiajin in East Korea Bay, and was likely to join the surprise troops of the 3rd Corps.
This strange force is the 1st Division of the 1st Corps of the 3rd Corps. According to the deployment of Zhang Hanqing and Ji Yiqiao, as an infantry unit, the 3rd Corps was mainly used as an interlude to interfere with the actions and judgments of various Japanese military units.
This "mud-legged force" who was able to navigate the white mountains and black waters of the Northeast also performed well in North Korea: the 1st Division was responsible for inserting near the Longxing River, and first used a small force to pretend to attack the local Japanese army. After the Japanese army was deployed in full force, the main force surrounded them. , to support the 20th Division with the delayed Japanese advance northward.
It was the three infantry divisions of the 2nd Army that trapped the Japanese 40th Brigade. The two armies were ordered to encircle rather than attack, and each took advantage of the Japanese army's leisure to speculate on the movements of the People's Army to reinforce their positions.
Caught in a tight siege, Hayashi Genichiro was not panicked. In his view, the three infantry divisions were not able to form an overwhelming majority against his elite 40th Brigade. As long as he held on for 1 to 2 days, the 39th Brigade was close at hand. will be with myselfIt is easy to break the 2nd Army's camp by attacking from inside and outside.
Therefore, he fully demonstrated his strengths in defense and built a solid position densely with heavy artillery and machine guns, waiting for the People's Army to surrender.
What puzzled him was that the scene of the People's Army braving the fierce Japanese firepower did not appear. The People's Army that besieged him seemed to be more patient than him and wasted no time in building fortifications with the intention of trapping him to death.
A hint of ominousness came to Lieutenant General Lin Xianyilang's heart.
His hunch was correct. Ji Yiqiao did not regard him as the main target of the attack. Instead, based on Zhang Hanqing's suggestion, he besieged the city for reinforcements.
I think back then, when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were in conflict, the tactic of besieging a city and bringing reinforcements had been tried and tested many times. The dominant Kuomintang army is often caught in a dilemma: Facing the People's Liberation Army besieging a city, if they don't save the city, the city will be destroyed; if they do, they have to face the PLA's trick of sieging the city in vain and calling in reinforcements.
Zhang Hanqing also deployed his troops according to this idea: at this moment, the People's Army has more troops and has the upper hand; the Japanese army has fewer troops and is passive, and domestic reinforcements have not arrived. At this time, it is completely wrong to divide the troops and defend them. It is just suitable for the People's Army to use more to attack fewer and spread on all sides, leaving the Japanese army exhausted.
Therefore, the 1st Division surrounded the 8th Border Guards, and the 2nd Army surrounded the 40th Brigade, both of which were strictly defensive to prevent trapped enemies from escaping. In his opinion, the Japanese army could no longer bear the pain of the entire brigade and entire division being wiped out, and they would definitely make every effort to rescue them. The main force of the People's Army is ready and waiting for you to enter the urn.
Sure enough, when the news of the siege of the division commander reached the 39th brigade headquarters, Xichuan's Takeshita brigade commander immediately mobilized troops quickly. Except for leaving an infantry regiment to defend, he abandoned all the baggage and led the cavalry regiment. The infantry regiment followed and attacked Daxing.
After receiving the battle report, Lieutenant General Juichi Terauchi, commander of the 19th Division, also ordered support for the Japanese troops in Xichuan. A cavalry regiment quickly moved northward with the intention of strengthening the Xichuan position.
As soon as the commander of the Takeshita Brigade stepped forward, the Ma Longxiang Division of the 30th Army, which had been waiting for a long time, quietly surrounded Xichuan; at 11 o'clock, when the roaring sound of artillery in the distance came to his ears, Su Bingwen knew that it was the Yang Sen Division of the 35th Army and the Japanese Army 39 The brigade was on fire. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 874 Besieging the city and calling for reinforcements (Part 2)
The 30th Army used for the siege approximately 1 division, 1 regiment, and 1 military artillery regiment, with approximately 22,000 troops. However, the Japanese troops stationed in Xichuan only had a regiment of 3,800 troops, and a heavy supply regiment with low combat effectiveness. The ratio is about 6:1.
Almost as soon as the battle started in the east, Ma Longxiang immediately ordered the entire army to dispatch and launched a strong attack on the Xichuan defenders.
The reason for this is to mobilize the 19th Division stationed in Sinanju and Jiechuan.
This force defends across the river, taking advantage of the geographical convenience, and has the 6th Division to support them in Pyongyang. It has no worries, so its morale is greatly boosted. If the People's Army on the other side attacks by force, it will have to pay a heavy price. Therefore, how to mobilize the tiger away from the mountain is the highlight of the siege and reinforcements.
The 30th Army's forceful attack has two meanings. It would be great if it could capture Xichuan in one go: it would not only coordinate with friendly forces from east to west, forming a closed-door and dog-fighting trend, but also force the 19th Division to go north to rescue the 20th Division at all costs——
The fighting at Longxingjiang continued, and the 20th Division's southward retreat road was blocked. The entire army had to retreat all the way from Xichuan, otherwise it would have to cross the long Miaoxiang Mountains and Dafeng Mountains, and then meet the exhausted troops. The 1st Division of the People's Army is waiting for work. In this way, the 20th Division will repeat the mistakes of the Kwantung Army.
Even if they cannot win, they must make a gesture to let the Japanese army understand the determination and deployment of the People's Army to wipe out the 20th Division, so as to attract the main force of the 19th Division to move north and make it easier for the People's Army's 2nd Corps to cross the river. In addition, Ji Yiqiao has a bigger plan.
Sure enough, the commander of the temple division "saw" the People's Army's plan to annihilate the 20th Division at a glance. After receiving an urgent request for help from Captain Tianzhong of the Xichuan garrison, he immediately ordered the commander of the Matsushita Brigade of the 38th Brigade stationed in Jiechuan to rush to Xichuan with one regiment each of cavalry and light infantry, and also requested the 6th Division The regiment sent troops to change defense.
No matter what, the Japanese invaders could not have imagined that this force of nearly 5,000 people would be surrounded by another People's Army as soon as they left Miaoxiang Pass.
This unit is Yang Sen’s 103rd Division of the 35th Army.
Originally, the 103rd Division was ordered by Yang Sen to secretly cross the river to form a surprise force in the upper reaches of the Qingchuan River. After suddenly defeating a small number of Japanese troops on the other side, it was preparing to expand its position to allow the army to cross the river, but unexpectedly encountered this Japanese reinforcement force. Just as Ji Yiqiao was thinking about how to dispatch Liu Xiang's army, which was closest to Xichuan, to assist Ma Longxiang, the 103rd Division surrounded Panasonic's reinforcements.
At the same time, in order to reduce the Japanese army's continuous deployment of troops to Xichuan and Daxing, the 2nd Corps decisively launched a cross-river battle, so that the temple division did not dare to increase its troops again. While gearing up in the lower reaches of the Chongcheon River, fierce fighting between China and Japan was in full swing on the four fronts to the north and east.
The situation is unfavorable to the Japanese army: Miaoxiangshan, Xichuan, and Daxing have the People's Army with superior strength to surround the isolated Japanese army; the situation in Longxing River is even more pressing: the People's Army is pressing forward step by step with overwhelming force. , compressing the 8th Border Guard into a diamond-shaped position with a radius of about 5 miles.
Fukuda Hiko’s assistant division commander is faced with a long test: Although the 6th Division that rescued Xichuan, Daxing and Miaoxiangshan is well-equipped, its characteristic lies in defense.
During the domestic Southwest War, this force was surrounded by the Satsuma Domain troops led by Saigo Takamori in Kumamoto Castle. They withstood Saigo's tidal attack with a strong will. Therefore, together with the 2nd Division, it is hailed as one of the two most powerful and combat-effective troops in Japan.
As a strategic unit with five branches: infantry, cavalry, artillery and engineering, the division has a large number of soldiers, equipment and strong independent combat capabilities. Therefore, Lieutenant General Fukuda Hikosuke has never been afraid of fighting alone.
"We just have to attack the People's Army from a distance to rescue friendly forces. The defensive warfare that our headquarters is good at is obviously useless in the mountainous northeastern North Korea." Maybe, the People's Army has a bigger conspiracy behind it.
It is known from the battle reports that the People's Army in these three places are all regular troops, and their strength against Japan is 2:1, 6:1 and 3:1 respectively. Even if he marches in a hurry, it will still take more than 2 days. Not to mention how much combat effectiveness will be achieved if the men and horses are trapped. It is still unknown whether these four troops will exist by then.
Therefore, after urgent telegrams were sent to the country requesting additional troops, four telegrams were sent one after another, to the effect that the People's Army had formed a local advantage in the north, and with the entire 6th Division joining the battle group, there was little chance of victory. All units were required to move south along the Miaoxiang Mountains quickly, and the 11th Brigade of the 6th Division was at the front line of Mengshan to respond.
What annoys him is that the People's Army seems to have lost sight of Shu. After besieging the Japanese 8th Border Guard Corps, the 1st Construction Division of the People's Army in Longxingjiang sent troops westward to attack the Datong River, with the intention of cutting off the retreat of the northern ministries. If the threat of this force cannot be effectively eliminated, all retreating troops will not be able to successfully complete the retreat, and they will inevitably fall into a bitter battle and suffer serious losses.
"It is true that the 6th Division is good at defense, but in frontal combat, we have never been afraid of anyone!" This is the chief of staff's encouragement.
With this in mind, Lieutenant General Futian immediately ordered 12The regiment set out from the east of Xinchengchuan River. One was to rescue the trapped 8th Border Guard Team, and the other was to restrict the People's Army's activities to the north of the Longxing River.
He specially dispatched a heavy artillery regiment to participate in the battle, believing that the 1st Division would definitely retreat given its superior local strength. This move can relieve the siege of the 8th Border Guard Corps, and can also provide comfort to the four northern troops who are not freed.
The 12th Brigade is the elite of the Japanese army, with better equipment and a brutal and fierce fighting style. It belongs to the Sixth Division, which suffered the most bloodshed in the Nanjing Massacre in official history, and was established in Kumamoto, Kitakyushu Island.
The place is poor and the people are war-loving, and men often seek military service as a way out. Before the war, Japan had a boast: "The Japanese soldiers are the best in the world, the soldiers of Japan's Kyushu Island are the first, and the Kumamoto soldiers of Kyushu Island are the first." His fierceness is the first among all divisions!
"However, the Japanese military prefers divisions in affluent areas and discriminates against troops in poor areas. It always allows the Sixth Division to fight vicious battles but is very stingy in rationing equipment. Official history: In 1943, the division was transferred to the most dangerous island of Bougainville and was attacked and blocked by the US-Australian coalition forces. The remnants fled into the mountains and forests to feed on wild fruits. They endured hardships and persisted until the emperor's unconditional surrender order was issued. Decided to lay down the weapon.
According to the memories of the Australian army who accepted their surrender, if the thousands of Japanese soldiers in front of them had not rolled their eyes, they would have been no different from skeletons, which shows the tenacity of their troops in fighting.
With this new force at the forefront, if the People's Army dares to block it, the 6th Division will be able to take the lead. He ordered the brigade commander, Major General Gumi Takupo: "Your troops should give full play to their heavy firepower advantage and grind all the blocking Chinese troops into powder to commemorate the spirits of our Kwantung Army officers and men in heaven."
Guwei took orders to attack Longxing River. The People's Army resisted tenaciously. Although their positions gradually shrank, they never retreated. The Gumi Brigade took advantage of the situation and moved forward, surrounding the 1st Division at its core.
There was a stalemate on the battlefield: the 1st Division surrounded the Japanese 8th Border Guard Group, and the Japanese 12th Brigade surrounded the 1st Division, creating a chaotic situation in which you were surrounded by me, and you were surrounded by me.
Just as Major General Gumi was rejoicing at the upcoming victory, another troop appeared behind him! The telescope showed that his designation was the 2nd Division. According to intelligence, this unit was also a member of the 1st Army. Because they are also infantry, for Gumi, two such Chinese infantry divisions cannot be serious enough to threaten his elite brigade containing heavy weapons!
However, before the war, I learned that the Chinese Construction Corps had a total of 3 infantry divisions. So where is the 3rd Division that has never been seen? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 875 Siege and Call for Reinforcement (Part 2)
After receiving the news that the 2nd Division of the People's Army appeared behind the Gumi Brigade, Lieutenant General Fukuda Hikosuke was instantly petrified as if he had been electrocuted.
After surrounding five Japanese units, does the People's Army still have the appetite to swallow the sixth unit? He is also paying attention to the movements of the 3rd Division: when the battlefield situation has reached a stalemate, any side that retreats will bear the risk of a complete defeat. In this way, there is no guarantee that the Chinese army, which is accustomed to attacking halfway, will not take the opportunity to gain battlefield benefits. opportunity, it is very likely that the 3rd Division is waiting for such an opportunity!
As the confrontation continues, a brigade is no match for a fully-equipped infantry army. If we continue to wait, who can guarantee that this army will not be the sixth to be surrounded? The Japanese troops in Korea no longer have mobile power.
The fighter plane passed in a flash, and Commander Guo Xipeng understood that if such a good opportunity was missed, it would no longer be possible to retain this elite Japanese army. He ordered the 2nd Division to launch a battalion and company charge towards the periphery of the Japanese army, forcing the Japanese army to defend as much as possible and delaying the Japanese army's chance of retreat.
Whether to go or to defend, Gumi is also in a dilemma. Under the fierce attack of the People's Army, his confidence began to waver. It is not about the situation on the battlefield, but about the current situation that the Japanese army is stretched thin on the Korean Peninsula.
He knew very well that if he did not withdraw from the battle at this time, his 12th Brigade would be the beginning of disaster if the battle went unfavorable again. Even if they were victorious after going through untold hardships, their vitality was severely damaged, and the Japanese army no longer had strategic reserves. This was unimaginable on the eve of the war.
But the consequences of retreat are also unimaginable: his troops fled, and the four trapped troops in the north were absolutely defeated, that's for sure. Moreover, there is always the invisible 3rd Division spying around him, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a strong blow. This invisible enemy is the most terrifying.
In this case, it is better to give it a desperate try and annihilate the 1st Division that has been caught in internal and external attacks in a short period of time, and then work with the border garrison in the "inner circle" or stick to Yongxing Bay to wait for the arrival of the navy. In this way, although the two units of the 6th Division
The troops are divided into the East and West Korea Bay respectively, but they are defended by the sea. With the support of a powerful navy, they can avoid the risk of the entire army being annihilated. Moreover, with this base area, the defeated army in the north also had a direction and would not fall into the siege of the Chinese army. Based on his rich combat experience, he judged that the area from Miaoxiang Mountain to Mengshan was likely to be the tomb of the Japanese army. .
The best way to prevent friendly forces and your own troops from being completely wiped out is to exchange blood for life! Therefore, the entire army was ordered to violently attack the People's Army in the circle, trying to kill the blood in a short period of time and integrate internal and external forces.
His judgment is generally correct, but he doesn’t necessarily think it will be much better here.
Although the 1st Division is an infantry division, its combat effectiveness is not bad at all. The heaviest firepower of the lightly-armed People's Army soldiers was the hand grenades and company-level infantry artillery they carried. Before the war, the achievements of the 100th Division's Broadsword Team made these warriors excited: It turns out that the Broadsword Team can also have Such excellent results, not to mention we have guns and ammunition!
Now they all know that this is a crucial battle against Japan, and they are full of confidence that they will win the battle: the arrogant and domineering Kwantung Army was completely wiped out in less than a day. We have more than 40,000 troops, and those on the opposite side are It is the last army that the Japanese army can fight on the Korean battlefield!
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins! In the coastal corner of the north-central part of the Korean Peninsula, four teams trapped in encirclement and counter-encirclement fought a bloody battle. Both sides know that this is a battle between you and me, and it is a key battle that determines the success or failure of both sides, so the fight is extremely cruel.
Unlike the Battle of Kanto Prefecture, the People's Army had superior strength and firepower, and had the surprise of tanks. Therefore, it was a one-sided war. In the words of a League of Nations observer, the People's Army achieved a "cheap knife to cut butter" style. victory.
Here, the Japanese army has the advantage of firepower and the People's Army has the numerical advantage. Both sides are evenly matched. They are both aiming at the balance of victory. They both have the belief that they must win and have high fighting spirit. Therefore, the fight is particularly fierce.
From noon to evening, the gunfire from both sides never stopped, and both sides paid a heavy price. But what is gratifying for the People's Army is that after suffering 4,000 casualties, the Gumi Brigade was still unable to break through the flesh-and-blood Great Wall of the People's Army. The KPA's positions remained unmoved.
There is no point in continuing to stay here. The 8th garrison, which could give the Japanese army a little comfort, has completely lost its voice. This made Major General Gumi sensitively realize that this unit loyal to the country should have given up every last drop for the emperor. Blood.
After being exhausted, the commander of the Gumi Brigade ordered the Japanese troops to retreat to the south - he judged that the 3rd Division should ambush on the road to the west to Pyongyang, because this would not only effectively block the Japanese reinforcements from the direction of Pyongyang, but also wait for opportunities to move north. Mengshan blocked the way for the four Japanese armies in the north to escape south.
It cannot be said that Gumi’s judgment is incorrect. The 3rd Division is indeed on the mountainside less than 20 kilometers south of Mengshan.volts. But his purpose was not Gumi, but to intercept the Japanese troops fleeing south. The People's Army also suffered huge casualties in this battle. More than 5,000 officers and soldiers of the two divisions withdrew from the battle, and more than 3,000 of them stayed on the Longxing River permanently.
Without time to reorganize, Guo Xipeng ordered the 1st and 2nd Divisions to launch a rapid and non-stop following attack on the defeated army in Gumi. It took three days to defeat Wonsan, Anbyon, and Sanfang Gorge, and advance the front to the west side of the Beihan River.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After leaving more than 2,000 corpses and tens of thousands of square kilometers of land, Gumi finally safely gathered the defeated troops on the bank of the Imjin River, and together with the local Pyeongkang and Seongbuk-ri defenders, set up a new line of defense. Compared with other Japanese troops, Gumi was lucky, although the 12th Brigade lost nearly half of its troops and all 3,000 men of the 8th Border Guards.
Battle reports from other battlefields were received one after another; as expected, the 20th Division was completely wiped out - the 40th Brigade was forced to retreat south after most of it was wiped out, and encountered heavy troops from the People's Army at the source of the Longxing River east of Mengshan Surrounded, the whole army died in battle. The battle-hardened Lieutenant General Hayashi Ichiro's division commander also died on the beach, and the two branches of the 39th Brigade were completely wiped out when they fled south from Gumi.
The 19th Division also did not benefit: the commander of the supporting 38th Brigade Matsushita Brigade also followed the example of his senior Lieutenant General Akai and performed a disembowelment. However, his men did not have as much perseverance as him. Except for some who died in the war, they were not killed in the war between China and Japan. After the war broke out, the People's Army captured nearly a thousand prisoners in a very rare battle.
In this battle, the People's Army dispatched 7 corps and 16 divisions totaling more than 260,000 people, and annihilated one Japanese reorganized division (the 20th Division), half each of the 19th and 6th Divisions, and the 8th Border Guard Corps all. At a cost of less than 20,000 people, the Japanese suffered a huge victory of about 45,000 casualties and about 3,000 prisoners.
The Western People's Army advanced forward to the Dae Nam River line, and nearly one regiment of remaining Japanese troops huddled in an area of ??less than a hundred miles west of the Dae Dong River from Pyongyang to the Nampo line; Lieutenant General Juichi Terauchi, who was alone, led the remnants of the 37th Brigade. Starry Night retreated to Pyongyang, waiting for reinforcements with the 11th Brigade, the remnant of Fukuda Hikosuke's 6th Division.
After losing three more entire brigades, the situation of the Japanese troops in North Korea has become very dangerous. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 877 Battle of Pyongyang
Don't underestimate this day. Within this day, the Japanese army has completed its domestic war mobilization. In the East Korea Bay, a huge Japanese naval fleet has completed its assembly and is advancing towards Xingnan like lightning; another The naval fleet has also entered the Yellow Sea and is heading towards the West Korea Bay.
The Army, the seven fully armed divisions of the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th, and 16th, and the advance guard division also landed in Pusan.
Since the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army has once again concentrated almost most of the country's army and all its elites to wage a war on the fate of the country with the rising China.
Guo Xipeng finally understood the headquarters’ intentions. Yes, if the battle against Pyongyang, an important stronghold of North Korea, cannot be ended before the Japanese reinforcements arrive, any breakthrough by the People's Army in the central or southern areas will be meaningless. With the Japanese army's superiority in the navy, the Japanese army can easily seize the beach from Nampo. And entered Pyongyang, and pinned the breakthrough People's Army in the south, creating a situation of catching a turtle in an urn.
I think back in history when the Korean War was in full swing, the North Korean People's Army led by the Workers' Party ignored the advice of Chinese military strategists and fought all the way to Busan, South Korea. However, in a good situation, they were defeated by the U.S. Army's Incheon landing. The defeat was immediately reversed. From then on, North and South Korea were separated and faced off for decades. When the Marshal crossed the border, there was also a firefight on Yeonpyeong Island on the border. This was all due to this failure.
Judging from the comparison of the naval power of China and Japan, Japan at this moment is comparable to the US imperialism later. It is difficult to guarantee that it will not block the way and cut off the possibility of retreat. It can be said that Zhang Hanqing's opinions were far-sighted and insightful.
Of course, Zhang Hanqing’s vision is even more unique: It is not a problem for the People’s Army to completely wipe out the remaining enemies north of the Han River with a devastating force, and it is impossible for the Japanese army to land in Incheon now. But now that Japan has mobilized domestically, it will be very difficult to break through the Han River with its existing strength.
The farther the battle line is from the country, the weaker the domestic support capability, and the more obvious the Japanese navy's advantage. At this stage, China is not devoting all its efforts to defeat Japan on the Korean battlefield, but is eliminating its threat to China in Northeast China. The above-mentioned operations have completely achieved this goal strategically, and it no longer has strategic significance to worry about the gains and losses of one city or one place.
For the sake of the peace of the entire China situation, it is impossible to drive out all the Japanese troops in Korea - that will completely lose the face of the Japanese Empire and shake its national foundation. It will inevitably be a situation of fish and fish to the death, which is what China does not want to see. Arrived. How to bring about a stalemate between the two combatants and where to stalemate were Zhang Hanqing's key considerations.
The Japanese army is concentrating its forces and preparing for the next war; the People's Army has also made substantial adjustments. When the Battle of Pyongyang comes to an end, the tank army that showed its prowess in the Battle of Kanto Prefecture has undergone a major rest and regrouped. Wearing armor again, he entered North Korea.
To be honest, the Japanese 2nd Division was eventually wiped out. The tanks played a great role, but they also lost the suddenness of their strategy. However, as a weapon of the army in modern warfare, tanks will come into people's sight sooner or later, and there is no leakage.
In the last battle, nearly 1/3 of the 300 tanks were destroyed, and more than half needed to be overhauled. Some of these were due to mechanical failures, and only more than 100 tanks could continue to fight. Therefore, in the first battle after entering North Korea, there were basically no tank soldiers.
After Zhang Hanqing and the top brass of the People's Army saw the benefits of tanks with their own eyes, they took 2 months to rest and recuperate, and asked the remaining troops to follow the troops that entered the DPRK to go south and deploy on the front line in Pyongyang.
In view of the complexity of North Korea's terrain, and the current ability of tanks to adapt to the terrain is far from what it was later, this tank unit is only stationed in Pyongyang as a reserve to give the frontline confidence - although the frontline troops do not know how powerful the tanks are, But it is said that it is an incredible thing, invulnerable and irresistible. With a guy like this on his rear wing, then the rear area is safe, right?
"In view of the fact that the first batch of troops entering the war in North Korea have been tempered between blood and fire, and are exhausted after continuous combat. In order to achieve the purpose of continuing military training, the Central Military Commission issued an order that the second batch of troops entering North Korea will take over some of the positions of the first batch and rush to the forefront of the war. This will be implemented after the Pyongyang Battle ends.
The designations of these troops are: the main 27th Army, commander Zhang Tingshu, transferred from the Beijing Military Region - this is one of the five trump cards of the People's Army, well-equipped and well-trained;
Song Zheyuan’s 21st Army was transferred from the Wuhan Military Region;
Song Jiuling's 2nd Army was transferred from the Lanzhou Military Region - this is one of the starting units of the People's Army led by Zhang Hanqing. The officers and soldiers are of high quality and have experienced many battles;
The 3rd Army in Jixing, Lanzhou Military Region;
The 29th Army of Liang Zhongjia, Shenyang Military Region.
These five armies have already carried out wartime mobilization. Each army has three full divisions and all heavy firepower, forming the fourth army to enter the Korean War.The regiment was the new force that would confront the Japanese army head-on on the Korean battlefield in the later period.
These five armies were also fought hard by each army. At the beginning of the war between China and Japan, especially after the Chinese troops fought bravely to kill the enemy on various battlefields and boosted the morale of the Chinese people, the humiliation that had been accumulated in the hearts of the Chinese people for a long time was released and infected these bloody men. Thousands of soldiers and officers piled up petitions and bloody letters to various military regions, Zhongnanhai and the Central Military Commission, demanding to join the war in North Korea.
Zhang Hanqing also obeyed the public opinion and prepared to use wheel warfare to firmly trap the Japanese army in North Korea - the final tactical victory was self-evident. What he wanted was a strategic victory, that is, strict control of the area where China and Japan exchanged fire. in North Korea, rather than affecting all aspects.
This requires that China's victory is not a one-sided victory, but a method of accumulating small victories into a big victory, so that Japan can understand the unbearable burden, thereby giving up the desire to fight again, maintaining peace in East Asia, and allowing China to develop. Leave enough time. Therefore, the Korean War will surely become the best testing ground for the Chinese People's Army to train troops.
The Japanese base camp, which has suffered continuous heavy losses, is also holding back its energy to use the main force of the army to fight the People's Army in order to get rid of the unfavorable situation on the battlefield. The Japanese Army Operations Department, which has experienced the pain of divided forces and being divided and surrounded, is determined to use the entire veteran army to fight. The divisions fought with the People's Army. The seven main divisions formed a group and moved closer to Seoul from south to north. They seemed to be in no hurry to rescue the trapped remnants of the 6th and 19th divisions.
No matter how the Japanese army acted, they could not slacken the determination of Zhang Hanqing, who was far away in Shenyang, and Ji Yiqiao, the commander-in-chief of the Korean fighting forces who had moved their headquarters to the outskirts of Pyongyang, to wipe out the remnants of Pyongyang's army as soon as possible.
If the annihilation of the 2nd Division was still a surprise, the annihilation of the 20th Division was a real display of skill.
If the elite 6th Division and 19th Division can be cleared (annihilated), it will be a huge shock to the Japanese army, and they will have more confidence in future negotiations. Especially important, it will give A good medicine for the Chinese army, which is traditionally afraid of the sun, is to wipe out four of its divisions at the beginning of the war. According to this trend, what else is impossible?
Starting from August 24, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Corps of the People’s Army, which was about to be rotated, gathered their strength and launched a non-stop attack on the Japanese defenders’ positions in Pyongyang. The People's Army braved the fierce Japanese artillery fire and made detours, finally blocking the traffic between Pyongyang and Nampo.
Now, the 37th Brigade and part of the 11th Brigade stationed in Pyongyang have become trapped animals and are also exposed to the artillery fire of the People's Army - the outer positions have been cleared, and the only thing the Japanese army can rely on is the isolated city of Pyongyang. They were trapped needlessly with ammunition that had been accumulated for many years.
In the early morning of the 25th, the last message from the garrison's supreme commander, Colonel Wanji, came from the direction of Nanpu: "The Chinese Army has broken through the last position of our regiment, and I will live and die with the position! Long live the Emperor!"
The Wanzhi Regiment is the main force of the 11th Brigade. In a head-to-head encounter, they could only hold on for one day. General Terauchi and General Fukuda looked at each other at the Pyongyang Joint Headquarters - the place where the two divisions worked together after retreating to Pyongyang and smiled bitterly: The situation is over!
Perhaps it was the previous bloody battle that inspired the fighting spirit of the People's Army, or perhaps it was the strong national self-esteem that was bursting out from the front line of the anti-Japanese war. The People's Army on the front line in Pyongyang launched a massive offensive. Within 2 hours from noon to the afternoon of the 25th, The People's Army invaded the city three times, but were blocked by General Futian's last reserves with human walls.
However, the loss of personnel was staggering. The 6th Division had less than a hundred men, and the 19th Division had less than a thousand remnants. Although the ammunition was relatively sufficient, the endless battles for two consecutive days and nights were hard to do. Can't bear it.
Now these remnant soldiers are so tired that they are staggering and unable to lift their guns. Facing successive waves of stronger offensives from the People's Army, what can they rely on to withstand this final blow?
In the joint headquarters, Fukuda smiled bitterly at Terauchi and said: "General Terauchi, it seems that our understanding of the combat effectiveness and will of the Chinese soldiers is stuck in the past and we underestimated it too much. From the first day of participating in the war, the Chinese soldiers were fearless and fearless. Death is rare for me. I heard that China has mobilized a group of more powerful troops. If the rumors are true, I have a hunch that the empire will definitely be unable to win the war in Korea."
Temple was silent for a while and then said softly: "If the empire is determined to go to full-scale war now, we may be able to maintain an evenly matched situation by using our superior naval power. Unfortunately, the empire is not ready for a full-scale war. And such a stalemate in Korea is equivalent to China." If we concentrate all our strength to attack our army, how can we have any chance of winning?
"I only hope that the Chinese will continue to move south and provide a stage for our navy and air force to perform, and we can smile and watch the imperial flag re-installed on the top of Pyongyang. It's a pity that I can't see it this day. For the dignity of the empire and the honor of the 6th Division, I will fight until my last breath! "
Fukuda Nagasaki said: "China has risen. Perhaps an armistice is the best way to avoid the decline of the empire. Otherwise, the Chinese people with inflated self-confidence will replace Japan and become the successor of all interests in East Asia after a full-scale launch. By then, the empire will not be able to Don’t go back to the Meiji Era!”
The roar of the cannon seemed to be a footnote to the last words of the two generals. The officers and soldiers of Li Guilin's unit of the 41st Division of the People's Army who first rushed into the joint headquarters were surprised to find that except for the dignified bodies of the two generals, all the guards were sitting or lying on the ground, letting the People's Army pick them up with dull eyes. With the gun at his side, he had no strength to put up any resistance. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??The expanded China people will replace Japan and become the successor of all interests in East Asia after full-scale launch. At that time, the empire will have to return to the Meiji era! "

Chapter 878 Happiness comes so suddenly
After the People's Army successfully wiped out the three Japanese divisions in Korea, the future seemed bright and the confidence of the frontline officers and soldiers also doubled. Their previous fear of the Japanese soldiers has long since become history with the two wars between Kanto Prefecture and Korea, and was replaced by contempt for the Japanese soldiers.
A total of four entire divisions were wiped out like this! Nowadays, within the People's Army, there is a growing desire to underestimate the enemy. I don't know who just said, "From north to south, one push and it's over." This slogan was quickly promoted by the entire army. The high-ranking military attachés of the General Staff and the Shenyang Military Region admired Marshal Zhang Hanqing like the endless waves of a river.
Who could have imagined such a result? If it weren't for the young marshal's wisdom and decisiveness, would victory have come so easily? They are optimistic about the next battle.
Many officers and soldiers at the handover position were infected by the words of the fraternal troops who had returned from the victory, and they were full of confidence to go straight down the Imjin River and enter Seoul, the governor-general's palace in Japan-occupied Korea.
Why doesn’t Zhang Hanqing think about it? The largest city in South Korea, which was later renamed "Seoul", is also the tenth largest city in the world and is of great significance on the Korean Peninsula.
From a military point of view, it is located on the bank of the Han River and divides the Korean Peninsula into two parts through the Bukhan River and Soyang River. It is an excellent geographical dividing line. The river surface with a width of 400 meters to one kilometer is also a natural barrier for defense. In the era of land warfare where artillery was king, it would be difficult to break through as long as thousands of cannons were deployed.
He doesn’t want to use the 38th parallel as a boundary anymore. Now is the time for China's great success. If you don't take advantage of the opportunity to make more money, your journey through time will be in vain. Can it be defended if it is just defeated? As a symbol of Japanese occupation, Seoul is the seat of its Governor-General's Office, which puts considerable pressure on the Japanese government. Japan's domestic reinforcements have arrived. Is it certain that the Chinese People's Army will extend hundreds of kilometers to attack Seoul?
Ji Yiqiao and others had not thought about this problem, but their doubts were dispelled by the overwhelming victory of the People's Army. Moreover, they also understood the political and military significance of this city, so he wanted to give it a try. There is a saying that "a man who knows the current affairs is a hero." Water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness. Perhaps the People's Army quickly cleaned up the stalls and the Japanese did not have time to launch a decent attack.
This is only half true.
Japanese generals were still leaning toward rescue at the beginning. At least King Kunihiko Kunihiko, who served as the commander of Japan’s dispatched troops to Korea, proposed rapid reinforcements.
King Kunihiko Kuni participated in the Russo-Japanese War, stayed overseas, commanded the 15th Division, and later served as the head of the Guards Division. After being promoted to general five years ago, he entered the headquarters and was highly respected in the military.
He himself is a member of the Japanese royal family, and his eldest daughter Ryoko is the queen of Emperor Hirohito. Japan dispatched more than 7 additional divisions at once in North Korea, which can be said to be a battle for the fate of the country. Without such a hero as the central coordinator, it would be impossible to suppress these veteran generals with extraordinary qualifications.
Originally, there was no need to go to King Kunihiko in person, but he was assassinated by North Korean Zhao Mingha in Taiwan a few months ago on May 14, and he was deeply dissatisfied with North Korea. Now, the situation in North Korea is in a state of decline. As the emperor, Mr. Taishan has unshirkable responsibilities both in public and private matters.
Since the destruction of the 2nd Division and the encirclement of the other three divisions, although Japan has been very bellicose, it always makes people feel that there is a kind of desolation behind its enthusiasm. Sad soldiers can win, but pessimism can also make people depressed. In any case, he does not want any more organized armies to be wiped out, especially the organized divisions that have an important status in Japan.
However, both from the base camp and the prudent division commanders, they all believed that the situation on the front line was unclear, the baggage had not kept up, and many troops were not familiar with North Korea's geographical location. It would be unwise to rush into a duel between large armies——The Empire is now There can be no more big losses, as this will lower the morale that was finally built up. If you do this a few more times, there will be no need to fight.
Frankly speaking, King Kunihiko Kuni no matter how little he cares about the headquarters (command), after all, the general will not give orders to the emperor; he also does not care whether his generals obey or not - unconditional obedience is the reason why the discipline of Japanese officers and soldiers is better than that of others. one of the important factors of the country. What he cares about is that he needs a war to wash away the haze that is weighing on people in Japan and needs victory.
"However, the five corps of the People's Army's second batch of troops entering North Korea have already been in place one after another - this is due to the good transportation facilities in the Northeast. After the Battle of Pyongyang, the Railway Corps of the Ministry of Transport quickly repaired the damaged and damaged railway from Dandong to Pyongyang, thus making front-line supplies and troop reinforcements very smooth.
In the north of the Korean Peninsula, the Gyeonggi-Yi Railway was built during the Japanese occupation era and connected to the Anfeng Line and the Namman Line through the Yalu River. The southern section of the Gyeonggi Railway runs from Seoul (the old capital of North Korea) to Busan, and then crosses the Kanbu route to Shimonoseki, Japan, completing an efficient transportation system within Japan, North Korea, and Northeast China.
Because of the rapid attack of the People's Army, Japan only destroyed a small section of the railway. ?Now, the renovated Gyonggui Line has become an important logistical pillar for the Chinese and Korean troops.
There is no superior Japanese air force attack in this world, and the configuration of the People's Army Army is not weaker than any Japanese Army unit, so Zhang Hanqing is full of confidence in victory.
There are nearly 250,000 people from the 4th Corps and 5 Corps, and the first three corps to enter the DPRK have all been rested and reorganized. However, they did not retreat. Instead, the 1st Corps was stationed on the east coast of North Korea, and the 2nd Corps was stationed on the west coast. The 3rd Corps eliminated the remaining forces in various places and organized transportation and garrisoning, so that the 4th Corps could be freed up mainly for war. .
The large number of troops participating in the war puts huge pressure on logistics. Fortunately, the Northeast has a solid industrial and agricultural foundation, and road construction armies from all over the country are working around the clock to lay roads. Basically, the land passage north of Pyongyang can be opened, and various artillery units can move forward one after another.
At this time, the headquarters of the troops entering North Korea had moved forward to Pyongyang. After a series of offensives, the tired People's Army was in urgent need of rest and recuperation, and the new troops entering the DPRK also needed to prepare winter clothes and familiarize themselves with the terrain. The Japanese army, on the other hand, deployed defenses along the Imjin River to Ganghwa Bay and waited for subsequent reinforcements.
So there was a rare calm on the front line.
From August to mid-September, in half a month, China controlled more than half of the northern territory of the Korean Peninsula and advanced the front line more than 400 kilometers from the northeast to the south. This greatly alleviated the unfavorable environment in the northeastern provinces and completely eliminated them. Japanese power in mainland China. Now is the time to defend the victory. Whether it is offensive or defensive, the Central Military Commission has different opinions.
The conservative faction believes that Japan cannot be pushed too hard. After all, China does not have the ability to drive Japan out of Korea, and Japan will not tolerate this. The result will be endless war. This is also one of Zhang Hanqing's opinions; another is The idea is to use offense to force peace. After all, the defensive area across the Korean Peninsula is too large, and defense is always passive. Once the Japanese army breaks through at any point, it will be a fierce battle.
Rather than being passive, it is better to be proactive. Anyway, the morale on the front line is strong. To avoid a disastrous defeat in Korea, it would be far better for Japan to sue for peace first than for China to speak first.
There are also Zhang Hanqing’s considerations here. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 879 Bait
??
King Kunihiko Gongyan carefully studied the fighting habits of the People's Army and was surprised to realize that in terms of numbers, equipment and fighting spirit, they were a rare opponent. His seven divisions did not have the slightest advantage against the five corps of the People's Army; logistically, because the People's Party had a large number of cars and relatively intact roads, as well as being backed by the northeastern rear, it had no advantage over the People's Liberation Army, which had advantages in railways and water transportation. The Japanese troops were equally matched.
"If we fight hard, it will be a fierce war. This kind of war of attrition is not good for Japan."
But if the effective strength of the People's Army cannot be eliminated on a large scale, the purpose of boosting morale and avenging the annihilated 2nd and 6th Divisions will not be achieved. Judging from the previous battles, it is extremely difficult to defeat the opponent in a confrontation.
What are Japan’s advantages? navy! So far, the large navy has failed to take advantage. Because the "Combined Fleet" is deployed in full force, the People's Army Navy has reduced its forces in the face of pressure. It focuses on relying on shore artillery units and air force to guard islands and reefs in Dalian and Weihai. All ports in the entire north have been closed.
Now, the Naval Command is already formulating strike plans, but they are targeting various parts of northern China and have no direct impact on the situation in North Korea.
Can we take advantage of the navy? King Kunihiko squinted his eyes and drew again and again on the map.
Despite the emergency mobilization, it will take a long time to prepare to concentrate the troops of the seven divisions on the front line. During this period, it is necessary to not only block the advance route of the Chinese army and buy time for the follow-up troops, but also win a big victory to boost the low morale of the Locust army. How difficult!
There are various signs that the Chinese army has become complacent. On the one hand, they sent a small number of troops to fetter the remnants of the 6th Division who were guarding the north of the city - the remnants of a regiment gathered by the leader of the Gumi Brigade. With the 3rd Army as the leader, they rushed towards Seoul with great momentum.
It was the 1st Division of Japan’s elite troops that quickly controlled the situation in Seoul. It is the oldest division in the history of the Imperial Japanese Army. It participated in the battles to attack Jincheng and Lushun after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1899, and is an "old friend" of the Chinese people. Therefore, when the Korean War was critical, it entered North Korea as the first unit, ignored the besieged 6th Division and 19th Division, and quickly deployed defenses in Seoul.
Ji Xing excitedly sent his troops south. His order to the 8th Division, which served as the vanguard, was to "rapidly approach Seoul and annihilate the stubborn enemy north of the Han River." In his opinion, the little-known 34th Army could fight the "Long Live Division" "Reputation, the exhausted Japanese troops and the Japanese vanguard who rushed in for reinforcements are definitely no match for the fully-equipped 3rd Army with 50,000 men.
But the order given to him by Chaosi (the abbreviation of the Korean People's Army Headquarters, the same below) was: "Quickly clear the remaining enemies on the Imjin River, then advance to Kaesong, and at the same time arrange defensive positions along the water."
The Imjin River turns southward near Kaesong, and then enters the sea through the southwest. If it goes well, it will join the 29th Army that rushes eastward to the north bank of the Bukhan River, and then stalemate with the Japanese near the "38th Parallel" in later generations.
According to the deployment of the court, mainly Zhang Hanqing's idea, the Chinese army held on to the danger and held a stalemate with the Japanese army here, and finally achieved a very important political goal: to force peace with war.
By controlling the Imjin River, relying on the benefits of the river water, and providing reinforcements from Kaesong, we will be in an invincible position. The reinforcements of the Army and the People's Army departing from Japan are roughly at the same starting point. Relatively speaking, the People's Army's logistics still has a slight advantage. As long as we work hard, we can make this place the front line of the war of attrition between China and Japan. China can afford it, has an advantage, and is worthy of doing so.
??If the Japanese government is unwilling to make peace or has a tendency to fight, the Chinese army can go straight to Seoul to "teach it a lesson." Seoul is divided into two parts by the Han River. Do the Japanese troops in the north of the river have the courage to fight? In Zhang Hanqing's mind, even if Seoul is occupied, some space must be left for the Japanese army to make it want to stop.
In this way, there is no way to defend and no way to retreat, and the initiative on the battlefield is in China's hands. At this time, it is entirely possible to use the power of diplomacy to sign a peace agreement with the Japanese government.
Compared with the streets of Seoul, the south of Kaesong with a panoramic view of Pingchuan is a good battlefield for tanks. By holding here, the People's Army can safely enjoy the fruits of victory in entering North Korea, stabilize the front, and digest the fruits of victory.
“War is not a merit, but a means to end suffering.
But Ji Xing believed that he was strong enough to win Seoul. After defeating Seoul, we will focus on defense, and facing across the river will have an advantage over controlling the Imjin River. It is estimated that there will be no major wars in North Korea. It would be a pity not to receive this last contribution. After all, this is the first time that the Chinese army has entered Seoul since Li Hongzhang withdrew from North Korea. He and the 3rd Army will go down in history.
On the day it entered the position, the cunning 1st Division, together with the North Korean 1st Independent Guards, dismantled the railway track from Wenshan to Seoul. ???At this time, the roads along the Han River were muddy and difficult to pass, and trucks were impassable. This meant that the artillery unit of the 3rd Army could not keep up with the infantry in time.
Ji Xing is not afraid.
The 100th Division can gain the good reputation of the Long Live Division even with its broadsword. We still have some regiment-affiliated mountain artillery and field artillery. As difficult as it is for us, isn’t it even more difficult for the Japanese army? They still came in a hurry!
But he did not calculate the logistical capabilities that the Japanese army, which had rested for a week, could use the transport capacity provided by the Gyeongbu Line. After the war began, Japan had already begun general mobilization on the Korean Peninsula. All trains departing from Busan Port were requisitioned and were transporting military supplies to Seoul at full capacity.
A conspiracy is approaching.
The Japanese are a nation good at summing up experience. In the last two stages, the Japanese army suffered huge losses after being divided, surrounded and defeated one by one. This is one of the reasons why they sat back and watched the defeated 6th Division and 19th Division being completely destroyed without rushing to a decisive battle with the People's Army. One, this is not a Japanese tradition.
On the contrary, since each regiment of each Japanese division is composed of people from the same county and hometown, the "combat friendship" of officers and soldiers from the same area is extremely high, basically achieving the "combat friendship" mentioned in a popular TV series The realm of “never abandon, never give up”.
The commander of the First Division, Wada Kameji, listened sternly to the report from the front line.
He despises the People's Army's pursuit of victory from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, the defeat of the Second Division was due to the surprise and major advantage of the Chinese army. The Sixth Division was also divided and surrounded by a large number of superior enemies and suffered a disastrous defeat. The real Japanese Army should not be at this level: it was the North The mountainous terrain of Korea restricted the strength of the Imperial Army.
Based on the deduction of the previous war, the Chinese army’s fighting style clearly comes into view: dividing and encircling, besieging the city for reinforcements, and highlighting superior strength. These are very classic playing methods and are worth emulating.
Doesn’t the third one want to force our army into the Han River? Then let’s start an expanded war here!
According to the deployment of Commander Kunihiko Kuni, the 3rd Army was lured into Seoul by fighting while retreating, and then trapped this army with superior strength, forcing the Chinese army to come to rescue. But the final battle is behind it. The 3rd and 4th divisions were in place, and the Japanese counterattack in Seoul, with Seoul as its foothold, officially began. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 880 Underestimating the Enemy
??
Marching hand in hand with the 3rd Army is the 2nd Army. Its mission is to rush southward, along the North Han River, aiming to break through the Taebaek Mountains north of the Soyang River. Even if it is not possible, it must hold on to Geumhwa City. There is the Hantan River, a tributary of the Han River. Controlling it, there will be no war in the interior of East Korea.
In Ji Yiqiao's mind, this is not the main battlefield, but also a mountainous area, which is not suitable for the 27th Army, which is basically motorized, to enter. The 2nd Army was originally transferred from the mountainous Lanzhou Military Region. One is that this army has a mountain division, and the other is that its artillery regiments of each division are one of the few units in China equipped with mountain artillery.
Transportation in mountainous areas is inconvenient, and the 125/105mm howitzer of the 27th Army is very inconvenient, but the mountain artillery of the 3rd Army can be broken down into several parts and carried away manually.
The 27th Army was adjourned to the 2nd Army and was responsible for the garrison of Wonsan Port on the east coast.
This is the two-pronged strategy formulated by Chaosi. In a simple word, it is to defend on the western front and attack on the eastern front - because the flat land in the west is suitable for decisive battles of large corps, while the mountains in the east are suitable for stalemate, and the People's Army uses offense as defense. ——The general policy is still to stick to it.
But the 3rd Army abandoned its duties and rushed into Seoul.
It’s not that Jixing disobeys military orders, but the situation is very good.
The 7th Division, as the vanguard, only charged once, and the Japanese troops facing them fled in panic. They established three lines of defense without any effort. After the third line of defense was breached, Seoul lay in front of them, almost undefended.
The Japanese First Division fought and retreated, which fully confirmed the impression that the participating troops had instilled in the officers and soldiers of the 4th Corps: "The Japanese army is a paper tiger." Otherwise, how could it have lost four divisions in just two weeks after the war began? group!
Rather than stabilizing the defense line through the Imjin River, it is better to attack the Han River and use the river as the boundary for better defense. Tactically, he was right; but strategically, he was at a lower level.
It was already evening when Zhang Hanqing received the news. By this time, the 3rd Army had already crossed the Linjin River and advanced 80 miles.
80 miles doesn’t seem like much on the map, but in military terms, it is a day’s march. Even the advancement of modern mechanized troops is based on 20 or 30 kilometers. An infantry corps actually walked 80 miles in one day!
This is by no means a good thing worth advocating. Zhang Hanqing, who has driven the Japanese out of the Northeast and extended the front line more than 400 kilometers to the south of the country, does not care about occupying a little more space. What he wants is for both sides to cooperate according to his strategic ideas. consumed here. Although the ultimate goal is to use the Han River as the boundary, that will be until the end, not now.
“Because a stalemate now would be very detrimental to China’s battlefield situation.
The Japanese Marine Corps has been approaching the Suzhou River in the Japanese Concession in Shanghai, and the Nanjing Military Region garrison has been fighting with them. However, because of the tense war in Korea, Japan's limited army has not yet been fully mobilized, so the East China battlefield is completely under China's control. Down.
Similarly, traces of the Japanese navy have been discovered in the waters off Qingdao, and the Jinan Military Region has made preparations for in-depth resistance. The rest of the Bohai Fleet stationed in Qingdao has wisely retreated to Qingdao Bay, relying on the superiority of the army to compete with them. There are four armies in the Jinan Military Region. Japan will never dare to land without more than three divisions. No matter how strong the navy is, if the warships cannot land, they will at most destroy Qingdao.
The prerequisite for whether Japan can launch a large-scale landing here still lies in North Korea: as long as North Korea is in a tight situation, their limited forces will not dare to be randomly deployed.
However, in this stalemate across the river, the People's Army, which lacks boat and bridge equipment, cannot fight across the river. Japan can rely on a smaller force to hold on here and invest other forces on the Chinese battlefield. This is something Zhang Hanqing and others are absolutely unwilling to see. Arrived. What he wants to do is to enable the Japanese government to continuously invest troops here.
Therefore, the mountainous offensive of the Second Army on the Eastern Front is also a kind of containment.
Seoul must be captured, but Seoul must also be given to the Japanese army. This requires a certain degree of control. Seoul, as the base camp of the Japanese occupation of Korea, was a must for Japan: it was a symbol and necessary to enhance its sense of presence. When the fight becomes unbearable, this is also a bargaining chip.
Ji Yiqiao also discovered the problem. The 3rd Army, which was supposed to report the defensive terrain to the court after reinforcing the Imjin River position, could not be contacted. Considering issues such as the reliability of telegraphs in this era, he waited a while. There was still no news until evening, so he sent a cavalry signal company to check, and found out the specific news in the early morning of the next day.
What happened to Jixing? If he can advance this far in his attack, is he really treating the Japanese army like dough? If they were so easy to deal with, with the young commander's personality, would he tolerate the Japanese presence in Kanto Prefecture for so long? You must know that the big advantage some time ago was the result of years of preparation by the young marshal, as well as the unexpected difficulty and the numerical advantage of several times.Taken down.
The Japanese army that has stabilized its position should not be in the situation that the 3rd Army encountered - in the previous desperate battles, which one did not fight to almost the last soldier? The Japanese who have received supplies now are not as good as the 19th and 20th divisions who can fight alone? That's the elite 1st Division!
Despite receiving strong orders to stop the attack and stabilize the retreat, Ji Xing could not stop the eager army. The 7th Division has already entered Seoul. If it retreats hastily or if the follow-up force is insufficient, it is very likely to be swallowed up by the 1st Division. Ji Xing thought for a long time and decided to follow the order in another way: the entire army would fight to the Han River and then withdraw in an orderly manner.
His decision put the 3rd Army into a tragic situation.
When the forward troops of the People's Army entered Seoul, more than ten miles away to his left and right, two Japanese troops quickly crossed the pontoon bridge and cut behind them from Gaoyang and Jiuli. In addition to retaining some troops, the main force directly attacked the Imjin River.
"The Chinese army is so stupid to not occupy such a good place and insist on conquering Seoul!" Regardless of the good fight some time ago, as long as you control the Imjin River, you can move out of the Pingkang Plain at will, and there is no danger to defend within 200 kilometers. Whatever the Chinese army puts into my mouth, I have to spit it out!
These two troops responsible for outflanking are both famous. The left wing is the 3rd Division, and the right wing is the 4th Division. They are both one of the seven earliest Japanese divisions that arrived at Starry Night. For this battle, King Jiure Gong Bangyan has spent a lot of money.
If there is a reconnaissance plane, it can be clearly seen that among the two torrents heading north, the team heading south is still moving forward without realizing that they are gradually being surrounded by superior enemies.
The first to be challenged was the 7th Division. After entering Seoul, the forward troops of this People's Army were hit by intensive firepower and could not hold their heads up. The Japanese army on the opposite side was uncharacteristically ferocious. The 1st Battalion of the 19th Regiment, which was the first to attack, suffered heavy losses and had to retreat.
Due to the lightly armed pursuit, the artillery of the corps and division were all on the rear road, and even the field artillery company of the regiment was still in Wenshan, a hundred miles away. It seems that the Japanese army on the opposite side has already built fortifications in Seoul. Without artillery, it is difficult to rely on human lives alone to be effective. And if Japanese reinforcements arrive, the situation will be extremely unfavorable for the capture of Seoul.
Until this time, they were still thinking about taking Seoul. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 881 Siege
Unwilling to give up, the People's Army decided to go head-on. Although an attack without heavy firepower may cause heavy casualties, this loss is still worth it compared to returning halfway and conducive to the post-war layout.
The second battalion rushed forward. Countless figures were jumping in the Japanese artillery fire. Light and heavy machine guns rang out, and the battlefield returned to calm.
The Japanese firepower was extremely fierce, and the front line of the position was almost plowed. At this time, the well-trained characteristics of the Japanese army came into play. They can independently choose the intersection point of firepower according to the intensity of the People's Army's charge. Their light and heavy machine guns and artillery are also well coordinated. In addition, the excellent individual soldier skills have also caused the People's Army to suffer enough.
The one responsible for the frontal attack has now been replaced by the second battalion. Facing the fierce firepower, the battalion commander asked the regiment for fire support. But at this time, how could there be time to mobilize the field artillery in the rear? On its own, the battalion headquarters did have a two-row mortar company, but the mere nine direct-fire cannons caused too little damage to the Japanese positions. The weapons that were basically area-killing were of no help in attacking the enemy.
When the 19th regiment was in a bitter battle, the 27th regiment in charge of the rear discovered the enemy's situation. The reconnaissance force discovered that a large number of Japanese troops had entered the left and right wings of the People's Army. This sudden news made Hui De'an very uneasy.
He is the commander of the 8th Division, and follows the 7th Division to assume the defensive task of the second echelon after the occupation of Seoul. Originally, after the main force of the Japanese army reinforced North Korea, he was dissatisfied with the military headquarters' decision to urgently capture Seoul in violation of the orders of the General Secretary. Now, with this trend, he must make a decision.
During the movement, contact with the military headquarters was temporarily interrupted. As a front-line commander, he ordered the 22nd and 24th regiments that had already fought with them to quickly roll out their defense lines. These two regiments are on the two wings of the entire army and are responsible for protecting the main force of the Central Committee.
At the same time, he ordered to contact the advancing 7th Division and asked them to stop advancing and defend on the spot; he also tried to contact the military headquarters to inform them of this unusual development.
In fact, Jixing no longer needs him to inform him, because while he is still halfway, his garrison has already exchanged fire with the Japanese army.
His military headquarters included a regiment of the 9th Division at the rear, as well as the baggage troops of the 7th and 8th Divisions. At first, he thought it was a sporadic small unit of the Japanese army, but with just one charge, the infantry regiment in charge of the perimeter was disrupted.
Fortunately, the Japanese army was also marching in a hurry, and they also did not carry heavy artillery and other weapons. After the 3rd Army gathered the various units together and formed a group, for a while, the Japanese army could not take down this huge body.
However, the Japanese army was not willing to fight, and continued to move northward while encircling the enemy. The excellent tactical qualities of the Japanese army began to show. The infantry and engineers quickly dug out simple fortifications in the direction of the retreat of the People's Army, which made Ji Xing extremely anxious.
There are only two infantry regiments behind, as well as an artillery regiment from the military headquarters and an artillery regiment from the 9th Division stationed at the Imjin River. The divisional artillery regiments of the other two divisions are slowly rushing here with the baggage. The two artillery regiments without escorts were no match for the assault infantry unless they set up artillery formations.
But if they all want to capture Seoul, who will set up a formation to play in the middle of the road? The deployment of towed artillery is also very troublesome.
So he urgently ordered the entire army to retreat and tried to contact this unit. The radio notification has been sent out, but I don’t know if they can receive it. Considering the communication capabilities of this era, communication with various ministries was basically out of control during the emergency march.
When he wanted to break through, he realized that he had no chance.
I don’t know where so many Japanese troops came from - they should have bypassed the forward 7th Division and emerged from the mountains on both sides, otherwise the 7th Division would have no reason not to have a face-to-face encounter. They seem to be dusty and have no heavy weapons, but their fighting style is very tenacious.
Yes, tenacious! Simple fortifications and intensive defense made it impossible for the People's Army, which did not have superior strength, to break through. For this kind of intensive defense, the best breakthrough tool is artillery. Japanese soldiers are still in the backward tactics of World War I. But this backwardness is very effective here and now.
In order to notify the army, Jixing sent out all the army's cavalry regiments. Of course, part of it is for its use as "artificial communication". The main idea is to break through the enemy's obstruction.
As long as the cavalry rushes out, the troops in the rear, especially the artillery, can be informed to the maximum extent. If the precious cannons cannot be repaired, the best plan is to blow them up. They must not be thrown into the hands of the Japanese army.
Zhang Hanqing's purpose of retaining the army's cavalry regiment during the military reform in 1927 was to use it as a fast force to win by surprise. Before tanks became a formal formation, the cavalry was still very useful, especially for harassing the enemy's logistics line. . Of course it is not used to duel with infantry. In the era of hot weapons, confrontations between cavalry and infantry were rare.Or, this is completely opposite to the cold weapon era.
But the infantry could not break through the Japanese firepower network. The defense system consisting of machine guns and mortars repulsed the joint offensive of the People's Army infantry and cavalry.
Although the People's Army also showed a fearless spirit and continued to attack despite the roar of bullets and mortars, the huge casualties still forced them to stop a new round of charge. By this time, the 1,062-man cavalry regiment had suffered all its casualties, and what was left on the battlefield were the corpses of the sacrificed cavalry and the wails of the horses.
The war has reached this point and it can no longer be fought. It's not that they don't want to charge any more, but that the Japanese army, which is obviously more numerous and more fearless than the People's Army, is desperately holding on to the front line. Even if all the troops in the military headquarters are exhausted, they can't rush out. Moreover, what Jixing was thinking of at this time was the two divisions in the south - the organization had completely retreated!
He could only shout loudly in his heart and pray for good luck to the artillery regiment. Of course, he did not forget to telegraph the situation to the court at this time. It was this information that gave the People's Army a little hope. Of course, the good luck he prayed for for the artillery regiment did not come true, because at this time, the artillery regiment was under siege by numerous Japanese infantry.
The artillery regiment of the People's Army has a standard configuration of 1,494 people. In addition to 54 cannons, there are 100 trucks. In addition to the pistols used by officers at all levels for self-defense, the only ones that can participate in the battle are regimental guard platoons and battalion guard squads. . The field artillery company of the infantry regiment has a similar organization. In terms of long-range firepower, they are masters, but in close combat, they can only be scumbags.
So when dense gunfire came from the distance, Liu Yanji, commander of the 7th Artillery Regiment in front of the sudden attack, sensitively ordered the entire regiment to stop advancing. Due to the difficulty of walking on the road, the artillery towed by cars and a dozen people made the artillery regiment move slower than the infantry. We are already 20 to 30 kilometers away from the main force. What is happening ahead?
Ordinarily, it is still far from Seoul. According to the pre-war military headquarters order, the 7th Division of our own division is opening the way, so there should be no more enemy troops. But where did the sound of gunfire come from? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 884 Bloody Fight
The fierce battle was in full swing. Hu Guodong, who served as the temporary commander of the 2nd company, was carefully aiming at the Japs about one class ahead. Unknown to him, his comrade ten meters away on the right had already died, and a crawling Japanese soldier had already crossed his fighting position. The black muzzle was aimed at him.
At this critical moment, his bugler Xiao Cai rushed back from the rear and saw the Japanese troops who were about to shoot.
His correspondent has died. Xiao Cai, the bugler, temporarily served as his correspondent. The only weapon in his hand was a trumpet. Seeing the Japanese's actions, Xiao Cai instinctively rushed forward.
Without a gun, his trumpet is the only thing that can handle it. He kept shouting: "Company commander! Attention!" while trying to hit the Japanese soldier on the head with a trumpet.
The muzzle of the gun aimed at the company commander changed its direction, and when the trigger went off, Xiao Cai fell in a pool of blood, still holding the trumpet tightly in his hand.
The Japanese were killed, but Xiao Cai could never play the sweet trumpet for the company again.
This kind of heroic behavior can be seen everywhere.
The injured squad leader Liu Xiaoyao fired all the bullets, rolled up into a ball with three Japanese soldiers with the last grenade in his arms and disappeared in the firelight; the soldiers at the handover position of the 1st and 2nd companies who had run out of ammunition and food saw that they had always been interested in him. The caring squad leader died, and numerous Japanese soldiers swarmed in unstoppably. He held back his tears and gestured to the rear. The comrade who was fifty meters away from him and was responsible for communicating with the artillery array understood that it was "towards the enemy." I'll shoot" means
In the crack of artillery fire, a group of Japanese troops broke through the frontal defense line one after another. Dozens of people in the front have already died. If this Japanese army rushes behind, the direct threat will be the artillery array - everyone with guns must go to the front line. Got it! At this critical moment, Li Hongliang, who was watching the battle, shouted: "Those who don't have guns, use those of those who have died in the battle! Stop this enemy!"
Seeing that there seemed to be a breakthrough, the Japanese troops nearby also rushed here desperately, and the situation was extremely tense. As a last resort, Li Hongliang used his reserve force to block the attack head-on. The artillery also quickly dispatched two cannons to fire several rounds at the Japanese reinforcements. The leading Japanese troops who were unable to break through the line of fire were finally eliminated when surrounded by the People's Army, but the People's Army also lost more than a dozen comrades.
With this kind of consumption, the death toll on both sides is basically one to one.
"Several such dangers have occurred in succession, and there are many touching stories.
"However, Li Hongliang felt that it was necessary to change his tactics. If it hadn't been for the counterattack of the 4th Mobile Company just now, the frontal defense line would have been lost. Although about a large brigade of the Japanese army was wiped out, our own side was already at the end of its tether. If Japan were to launch a desperate attack like it did just now, hundreds of its own people would be finished.
Watching the match, Aso's mood was like a roller coaster, rising from the valley to the peak, and then sliding back to the valley. He almost succeeded in a powerful attack, but failed in the end and couldn't help but stamp his feet. He was disappointed that a large team was attacking so slowly.
But when the smoke cleared, it was discovered that no one from his large team had returned except for some seriously injured people.
No one comes back!
A brigade had suffered all casualties. No matter how ruthless Aso was, he had to consider whether this style of play was right.
The frontal firepower is too strong. For such an artillery position, failure to knock it down will be a great obstacle to this combat plan. Thus, another strategy that the Japanese army was good at: outflanking began.
Japanese soldiers can run, which is not inferior to the Eighth Route Army guerrillas who were good at this in history, and even better than American soldiers. They wore leather boots with lambskin linings, which did not hinder their off-road capabilities. Since the frontal pressure is too great, it's up to you to fight the scattered infantry in a ring!
This move is indeed powerful, and the shortcomings of the small number of artillery blocking troops are immediately exposed. Not only did the men and horses have to be dispersed, but the few artillery pieces were also forced to disperse in directions and angles, leaving less support for the infantry, which mainly relied on artillery support.
Li Hongliang knew the Japanese soldiers' strategy when he saw them approaching his sides and rear from a distance, but all he could do was shrink the defense line, and there was no other way.
The three companies all retreated to a mile away from the artillery array, forming a ring to guard the central artillery. They could not retreat even a step. If they retreat, the Japanese soldiers' spears can shoot through the gunners. When the cannons become useless, they will all be killed.
The reserve team also went into battle. In addition to some replenishment to each company, they also had to hold one direction. Although it has been compressed somewhat, the situation is not much better than before.
The two captains stood side by side, and they both had a premonition of the upcoming deadly battle. After suffering heavy casualties, Japan still surrounded them. That was a rhythm determined by a battle. At this time, they were very calm.
Li Hongliang said to Liu Yanji: "More than a thousand of us have killed more than a thousand Japanese soldiers, which is enough. Later, every time we kill one more, we will make a profit. I am just worried that the Japanese soldiers will continue to come."Come here one after another, what happened to the 7th and 8th Divisions in front! "At this time, he actually still cares about the team.
how's it going? The experience of the two divisions was no better than theirs!
The 7th Division that entered Seoul encountered the fiercest and fiercest battle since the Korean War, and also suffered the greatest losses. The opponent is the 1st Division, which is known for fighting tough battles. They are waiting for work, and more importantly, they have artillery.
With 36 75mm mountain guns, 24 81mm mortars, and 36 combat anti-aircraft guns, they had an advantage against the lightly-armed 7th Division.
Being caught off guard, the vanguard suffered heavy casualties. The Japanese army took revenge on them for their defeat in the battlefields of Kanto Prefecture and northern Korea. Ten minutes of artillery fire caused an entire battalion to disappear!
That’s not all. The 1st Division used its main force to not only suppress the entire 7th Division in Seoul, but also cooperated with the 3rd and 4th Divisions to cut off the connection between the two divisions of the People’s Army. The 7th Division fought hard in Seoul, while the 8th Division suffered a devastating blow under the attack of three brigades and two artillery regiments.
At this critical moment, as the commander of the army, Jixing was no longer able to effectively command the troops. He just ordered the officers of the 8th Division who could be found at all levels to lead their troops to the north!
To the north, the 3rd and 4th divisions are continuously dispatching troops for reinforcements, threatening to cut off their retreat. Not only for encirclement and annihilation, but also to reduce pressure on the troops occupying the Imjin River in the north.
Three stages of blocking and offensive battles started separately. The main force of the 3rd Army suffered heavy casualties under the attacks of three elite divisions of the Japanese army. The army headquarters, which was already in chaos, was unable to organize an effective system at all.
In the civil war, the 3rd Division, the old foundation of the 3rd Army, only fought one battle with the Huihui Army in the northwest, and still bullied the smaller forces with more troops; later, after occupying Wuhan, they stayed in the northwest and basically never encountered a decent war.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…
Disobeying the military order, I wanted to steal a chicken, but I didn’t expect that even the rice was eaten completely. There is no artillery, and there are fewer people than the opponent. The key is to fight alone. If it takes a long time, it is not how much the loss will be, but that he may become the first senior officer of the People's Army to be killed or captured by the Japanese army since the Korean War.
"Compared with the rapid progress and illustrious military exploits of other brother troops, he still has to consider how to explain his combat plan in a military court. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 885 Breakout
At this time, Ji Xing no longer thought about how the weak troops on the Imjin River could cope with the Japanese attack. It was more important to save his life first. Together with the commander of the 8th Division, he decided to break out.
But which direction is better?
By the way, in addition to benefiting from the 3rd Army, the Japanese army is also determined to win the Imjin River. The road to the Imjin River must be full of dangers; heading south, the 7th Division is fighting to the death. Even if it escapes to the south of the Han River, it is a dead end. That is where the Japanese army gathers heavily.
We can only go to the east and west sides.
The Japanese troops on both sides were also marching in a hurry. Apart from light mortars, they had no other heavy firepower. They were in a draw with the similarly lightly-armed 3rd Army. There was no chance of a breakout.
To the west are the wetlands of the lower reaches of the Han River, and there are roadblocks such as the Yeseong River, which is definitely not as fast as the Japanese army; to the east are the Bukhan River and Soyang River, and they have to cross the Taebaek Mountains.
Soyang River! Wasn't the 2nd Army ordered to control Soyang Jiangbei? We break out here. Because there are mountains such as Taebaek Mountains, Mount Kumgang, and Seorak Mountains, the Japanese army will definitely not be able to catch up with us with heavy weapons.
They are all lightly armed, so they will not necessarily lose to the Japanese army. They will also have the opportunity to assist the friendly forces to attack their Jiangbei defense positions from both sides. In this way, I can relieve myself of part of the responsibility for the defeat and atone for my sins.
As soon as he thought of this, he quickly summoned several senior military officers to inform everyone of the decision. In this regard, the director of the military political department has some opinions: "It will be easier for us to withdraw, and the pressure on the Imjin River will be greater. The headquarters requires that we stick to it. My opinion is to use all our strength to move north while the Japanese reinforcements are still advancing. Fight, we have 30,000 people, and it will be difficult for the Japanese army to eat us in a short while. This will give the defending troops a buffer time. Withdraw to the east, and the strength of Imjin River will be much weaker."
Hui De'an, the commander of the 8th Division, and Lu Muting, the army's logistics minister, also thought so, but Jixing, who was already scared, insisted on withdrawing eastward. Regarding this, Hui De'an was very angry: "Commander, the 7th Division is still besieged in Seoul. If we withdraw, it will kill them! The young marshal has always said that our military spirit is 'never abandon, never give up. ', I will not let my brothers and troops escape for their lives!"
Listening to the increasingly dense sound of gunfire, Jixing was anxious. He didn't care to talk to him anymore and immediately ordered: "The military situation is like a fire. I am the commander of the army. All departments must obey my orders!"
Hui De'an said loudly: "If the commander leads his troops into the gun holes, I, Hui De'an, will have nothing to say. But if you abandon your friendly troops and run for your life, I will never obey! This is a mess!"
The director of the Military Political Department also stated: "No matter what, it is unacceptable to abandon the 7th Division!"
According to Zhang Hanqing’s subsequent reform of the military industry system, although the director of the Political Department does not have combat command authority, he can make voting decisions in the name of the military commissions at all levels. The two chief officers of the Military Political Department and the Military Logistics Department objected, and the Chief of Staff and Deputy Military Commander did not express their opinions. In fact, they vetoed the decision of the military commander Ji Xing.
But Ji Xing has made up his mind. He said to several people: "Since everyone has different opinions, let's divide the troops into two groups according to their own ideas. I will lead part of the troops to fight eastward, and I will also attract some firepower for your troops who decide to break out to the north. How will the next battle be? Hui De'an is responsible for the decision."
He has decided to lead the regiment of the 9th Division. Hui De'an is the commander of the 8th Division, and it is much better to leave the battlefield to him than to others.
Regardless of the fact that dividing troops is a taboo for military strategists, Ji Xing hurriedly took a regiment of the 9th Division and left with his chief of staff, leaving a group of people looking at each other. When command was needed most, the commander ran away first, adding more difficulty to the dangerous situation.
Hui De'an felt anxious about accepting orders in times of danger, but it was more of a responsibility. The safety of two divisions of thirty thousand men and horses depended on him. He believed that the top priority was to contact the 7th Division. The two divisions would work together to open the isolated passage in the middle, and then work together to fight north. Regardless of the final outcome, it will at least attract a lot of firepower. "I wonder how prepared the 9th Division is for defense?" He said with a heavy heart: "If the Imjin River is occupied by the Japanese army, the 3rd Army will die without redemption!"
I don’t know how the 9th Division will react to his concern, but the 7th Division has received it anyway. It seems that there is no end to the sky. Under the urging of the anxious commander Zheng Dianqi of the 7th Division, he finally got in touch with the 8th Division through the radio.
"What, retreat?" We have already lost nearly a regiment of troops for the attack, and what we got in return is this result! Zheng Dianqi ignored his anger because he heard that Army Commander Ji Xing had already evacuated first, and he understood the seriousness of the situation.
"Our troops will cooperate with you to attack the north with the main force. Please cooperate!" From offense to defense, all the troops were caught off guard, but they could not care about so much. After leaving a main battalion in the rear, the entire division quickly switched to a retreating attack.
The number of Japanese troops embedded between the two divisions is not large, and even under continuous attacks,?Can effectively build fortifications. The 21st Regiment of the 7th Division in charge of the attack also knew that this was a life-or-death situation, so despite the cost of thousands of men, they finally opened a hole about 100 meters long.
According to the plan, the 7th Division quickly occupied the position of the 8th Division, while the 8th Division turned around and attacked north with its main force. The baggage management was extremely poor, and the lightly injured were moved forward with the team, while the seriously injured were issued weapons and stayed to protect the wounded who were really unable to perform their duties as soldiers. Everyone knows what staying means.
Wang Meng, the deputy commander of the 21st Regiment, had his left arm disabled in a previous battle. He could have set out with the team, but looking at the 432 seriously injured people who were still able to move and the 108 seriously injured people who were completely unable to move, he decided to stay. : "Anyway, I'm injured too, so let's stay and continue organizing the battle. The wounded can still do something to buy some time for the main force to retreat."
Wang Meng refused to leave, and his bodyguard Shitou stayed despite dissuasion. Wang Meng looked into his clear eyes, which were pure and flawless. I have never noticed that Shitou is a very handsome young man. This honest and honest young man from Gansu is only 19 years old this year. Although he and Wang Meng have only known each other for a year, they have formed an extraordinary friendship.
The more this happens, the less he can be allowed to stay in this place of death. He said decisively: "It is my duty to be with the wounded. They can still continue to fight. How can they do it without a command? You are still young, so hurry up and follow the big army!"
Unable to move the stone, Wang Meng used one arm to drive the stone away, but the stone would not move. Shitou has already decided: "If the leader stays, what will happen without guards? I am his guard, and it is my duty to protect his safety!"
This is the cruelest time. Every soldier who left has tears in his eyes, and there are heavy footsteps inside and outside the military camp.
I don’t know who took the lead, but every officer and soldier gently sang a military song "Send Off Comrades" written and composed by the young marshal himself:
"Send off your comrades on the journey,
Silently and with two tears,
The sound of camel bells rang in my ears.
The road is long and foggy,
Revolutionary careers often break up,
The same thing separates two feelings.
Comrades, comrades,
Dear brother,
Beware of the cold north wind in the middle of the night,
Take care along the way! "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 886 Crisis
??
At the same time, the roar of cannons and the sound of killings were heard in front of the Linjin River.
Seeing that the artillery interception net could not be overcome and determined to die, Nakamura, the captain of the 8th Regiment of the 4th Division, ordered to bypass the KPA's blocking circle and penetrate northward.
You can’t offend him, but you can’t hide from him, right? The "capable" 3rd Division piled up corpses one after another at the front of the position, which made the officers and soldiers of the 8th Regiment who were hesitant feel lucky: "Writing requires resourcefulness. Our mission is to capture the Imjin River and a bunch of launchers." Why are the Chinese artillerymen so angry when they don’t pay for artillery shells?”
Once the 8th Regiment left, the task of annihilating the People's Army artillery was handed over to the Aso Battalion.
"However, Aso was not prepared to join forces with these cowards. He had already lost so many officers and soldiers. When the Chinese army on the opposite side could be defeated in one fell swoop, there was no need for friendly forces to divide the labor. He directed Japanese troops from all directions and rushed towards the People's Army artillery positions.
If the joint artillery position composed of the 7th and 8th artillery teams passively uses artillery as a means to suppress the Japanese attack, the Imjin River 9th Division is completely in a relatively advantageous position.
Two infantry regiments control the hilltop in front of the river beach. The army's heavy grenade | artillery regiment and the 9th Division's light grenade | artillery regiment are both deployed in dangerous areas. This is the previous requirement of the court to overthrow with heavy firepower. garrison arrangements. Although Jixing wanted to grab the credit, due to the inconvenience of artillery movement, these artillery were placed here, and the arrangement was quite easy.
Hu Zhen, the commander of the 9th Division, disagreed with Commander Jixing’s eagerness for quick success and quick success.
When a large corps fights, the most important thing to pay attention to is discipline. This is what the young marshal told these senior officers of the People's Army at the military strategy education at the National Defense University. Japan has mobilized heavy troops, and war will definitely happen. He is even clearer than Ji Xing about the purpose of holding on to the Imjin River required by the imperial court:
From here to the Han River, there is a flat plain, which is suitable for the People's Army to use its superior firepower and tanks. More importantly, it has strategic significance. It can force the Japanese army to strangle this land without giving up, so as to reduce its influence on various parts of China. The pressure from the sea frontier on the coastal defenders.
It’s not that Seoul cannot be captured, but that a stalemate across the river is not a good situation after it is captured: it is not easy for the People’s Army to advance southward, the road is rugged, and the Japanese army also takes advantage of the geographical advantage.
But Ji Xing believed that the Japanese army was vulnerable and insisted that they could try an attack - if they won, it would be a great achievement. If there were repetitions, the worst thing would be to retreat!
He is a veteran of the Feng dynasty. Although he is not very talented, he cannot bear the high qualifications. Since the death of Marshal Sun, Zhang Zuolin has taken more care of his former brothers. It used to be that the Marshal promoted rookies in the army with his words, but now he has to do it without easily disturbing the veterans.
The country enjoys rare peace, and the backbones with new ideas and experience in various military academies are gradually assuming a decisive position. Zhang Hanqing has not really made up his mind to eliminate the few members of the old Feng clan—— Just make it a natural transition.
Fortunately, the 9th Division only transferred one regiment. According to the later full establishment, he still had more than 10,000 men in his hands. With the two artillery regiments and the convenient location, it would not be difficult to hold this place for a while anyway. Yes, as long as the Japanese army does not continue to attack desperately.
He deployed a regiment in echelons. Like the artillery regiment that was in a hard fight, he wanted to use the advantage of artillery fire to suppress the enemy's possible attack. According to the plan, his two artillery regiments could cover the entire forward position at any time.
At noon, his contact with the military headquarters was interrupted. He tried to contact the friendly 7th and 8th Divisions but was unsuccessful, which gave him an ominous premonition.
In this era, the People's Army division-level radio stations are still generally equipped with 5W equipment, and the communication distance is 30 to 40 kilometers. If these two divisions capture Seoul or are on the way to Seoul, they will most likely not be able to receive it. This is not surprising. It's just that the military has a large 50W radio station, and there is no problem with transmission for thousands of kilometers. Isn't it strange that a team of tens of thousands of people cannot be contacted?
It didn’t take long for his worries to become reality. Hu Zhen was still shocked when the main force of the 7th Artillery Regiment and the 8th Artillery Regiment "escaped" at full strength despite the bumps. Although we don’t know how the front line fight is going, the fact that we were able to get past the 7th Division and fight its rear shows that the enemy is very ambitious.
The Japanese army's breakthrough into the 8th Division also made him understand that his position had become the front line.
But he is not afraid.
While ordering the first regiment to prepare for battle, he also hurriedly dispatched communications troops to report the critical situation here to the Chaosi headquarters. In view of the extremely important position of the Imjin River, there can be no chance, especially when the main force is out in full force.
Nothing is foolproof in a war. Bad and emergency situations can arise at any time. He turned his attention to this group of frightened people.The artillerymen of the brother army who are still in despair. If the artillery units of the two battalions of this regiment are properly deployed, they will be extremely important support. The only shortcoming is that their command system has been paralyzed - those who can fight and can be moved out are fighting fiercely with the Japanese army.
After reorganizing with the existing strength, each artillery company in the existing position will add half of the firepower, and all newly added artillery will be under the jurisdiction of this company. Hu Zhen looked at the billowing dust flow and felt much more at ease. Each artillery battery of the People's Army has the same firepower as most of the Japanese battalions, and it occupies a dangerous terrain. This battle can be fought in one go.
The first to enter was the 8th Regiment of the Japanese Fourth Division. Under the "wise" command of Colonel Nakamura, they successfully avoided the death blockade composed of free artillery fire and first "attacked" in front of the Imjin River.
The first achievement was to capture the Imjin River, which would give a large number of Imperial Japanese troops a place to use. The reason why the 4th Division can retain its reputation as a "martial arts" among the most valiant master divisions and rank among the first-class divisions is that it is also good at using its brains.
It is said that the 3rd China Army is guarding this place, and two divisions have been trapped. Does this mean that the benefits of using more to attack fewer are just around the corner? I believe that the commander of the Hisoka Takashi Division would not object to this kind of benefit, right?
In fact, when Nakamura notified the commander of the Karilong Division of the combat deployment, he received his strong praise: "Yoshi, this guy Nakamura has a very good head, and he fully developed the style of our invincible fourth division. Pass the order If we go down, I will personally lead the main force to provide full support and we will definitely capture the Imjin River in one fell swoop!"
After receiving the news that the main force of the 3rd Army was surrounded and that the direction of Pingkang would be tight, Ji Yiqiao, commander of the Korean People's Army, could not sit still at first. In the half month since the war started, the People's Army has been fighting so smoothly that the commanders thought it was easy to defeat the Japanese army. After annihilating the elite 2nd and 6th divisions of the Japanese army, even he sometimes doubted the tactical literacy of the Japanese army.
Now, tit for tat, the strength of the Japanese army is revealed, and the whole army is caught off guard. If unfortunately the Imjin River defense line is breached, the swarming Japanese troops will most likely rush behind the 29th Army to outflank him.
Marching on flat ground and walking on mountains have a huge impact on speed.
He hurriedly ordered the 27th Army, which was preparing to clear out the remnants of the 6th Division, to quickly reinforce a division, and arranged for the 34th Army, which was planning to rest and reorganize, to stop returning to defense. If the predictions are correct, the first wave of Japanese offensive is coming. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 887 Three-way advance
??
The Imjin River is the throat of the central and western parts of North Korea. Once it falls, it will shake the overall situation, especially the political influence will be too bad. However, the Chaosi had received timely instructions from Zhang Hanqing before the war, so that they did not have to focus on the gains and losses of one mountain or one place during the war. As long as they defended the Linjin River, they controlled the main road into the Pingkang Plain, which was victory.
According to Hu Zhen, the commander of the 9th Division of the 3rd Army who is mainly responsible for defensive tasks, the mountains on the south bank of the Imjin River are extremely steep and dangerous. During the attack two days ago, he personally climbed the cliff to observe the terrain. When going down the mountain, the mountain road was too steep and he could not walk. When he came down, he actually sat down and slid down the hillside!
However, there is no such good location on the north bank. Fortunately, the Japanese army's baggage and heavy weapons cannot flow across the river. The People's Army can rely on the power of artillery to cause great damage to the Japanese army crossing the river. Although the infantry is small, it is enough as long as it can reasonably guide the artillery.
Although she didn’t know how Zhang Hanqing, who was far away in Shenyang, learned about this geographical situation or why he made such a request, Ji Yiqiao still made arrangements cautiously.
Having fought with the young marshal for several years, he knew Zhang Hanqing's strategic vision and was almost unfavorable. Believing in him has become superstitious, and obeying has become blind obedience. Moreover, Zhang Hanqing has the most admirable commander's demeanor, that is, he never interferes with the judgment and combat power of front-line commanders, which allows his occasional glimpses of genius to be respected to the greatest extent.
It is simply unimaginable to storm such an impassable river surface, which is where Hu Zhen's confidence lies. He assured Ji Yiqiao that no matter what, the 9th Division could defend for more than a week as long as the logistics were available.
However, at this time, the 27th Army, which was originally planned to be used for support, had a change, because a Japanese Marine Corps, supported by gunboats, suddenly attacked Nanpo Port, and the offensive was fierce.
Nampo is the gateway to Pyongyang and the throat of Western Korea. Its military status has long been in the minds of the Korean People's Army Command. The reason why we did not continue to attack southward but first clean up the rear when the situation was overwhelming was that Japan could rely on its maritime superiority to attack from the rear of the People's Army.
After entering North Korea, the 27th Army did nothing else but stayed on the Pyongyang-Nampo line in order to consolidate the western front.
Just like the 29th Army’s defense of Yongheung Bay in East Korea, as long as these two places are controlled, it is enough to ensure the safety of thousands of miles of transportation lines and an advantageous strategic position that can advance or retreat. In this way, the People's Army, which has a large number of troops, can continuously invest in the Korean battlefield, put endless pressure on Japan, drag down its economy, and make it unbearable and cease the war.
The Japanese 5th and 16th divisions landed this time.
"Compared with other countries, don't think that the Japanese army also used the navy in the landing battle. That would be too underestimated the size of its invincible army.
Originally, the Japanese army also followed the British example in building the Marine Corps, which was called the "Marine Corps". However, it had a small structure and low combat capabilities, and it was an education and training force.
What can really be used is the "Special Marine Corps" that is permanently stationed in a certain land area to perform security tasks. It is organized into a naval garrison and garrison, with a strength of more than 1,000, which is equivalent to an army infantry wing.
Due to well-known reasons, the Japanese Navy and Army have always had huge estrangements and conflicts, and historically they were unable to reconcile them even during World War II. The army, which is striving to be the leader, cannot tolerate the sudden rise of the navy. To eliminate its influence, it must make every effort to strengthen its combat capabilities in ocean and island environments and have the ability to be independent of the navy.
Therefore, the Army established its own Ship Command (military level, directly under the General Staff Headquarters). At the same time, the Army also developed other supporting ships for its own use, such as escort aircraft carriers, land launchers (including square boat carriers and motor boats), and land boats. , combat ships, attack boats (torpedo boats, gunboats, special attack boats, etc.) and submarines (submarines).
Together with half of the affiliated air force, in short, it is an all-round force.
Of course, the Navy is not to be outdone, and it has not been idle in its efforts to reach land. For example, the nondescript ultra-light "Bean Tank" in World War II is a masterpiece.
Both sides went their own way in equipment manufacturing. At that time, there was a saying that "the army built submarines and the navy built tanks."
This has resulted in everyone abandoning their own jobs and insisting on transcending professional traditions to "have the navy go ashore and the army go to sea." Alas, if the Japanese army, which had backward ideas and was full of factions, had not encountered China, a weak and weak opponent in official history, its "Asian invincible" army would not have been so glorious.
In this way, its army was also looked down upon by the German army.
Where is the navy? After the Navy's reputation was tarnished due to the previous "Siemens bribery incident", which led to the collapse of Japan's Yamamoto Gonbei cabinet, it has never been able to regain its glory. Just when we had a chance to breathe, we encountered a contraction in the country's financial resources and the need to reduce the number of troops. In addition, twentyThere were no major events in the modern world, so we just stayed there.
I originally wanted to take advantage of the defeat of the Kanto State Army to show off, but unfortunately the "Land Decisive" staff headquarters gave it a chance to intervene. The battle that was finally fought ended in the entire 17th Squadron being wiped out. The end gave the Army reason to think the Navy was incompetent.
So for this landing, the army just asked the navy to escort them. After the warship dumped a load of artillery shells on the shore, there was nothing wrong with the navy.
This is also part of the plan of Commander Gongyeon Wang of Jiuer: to contain the steps of the People's Army from going south to rescue the Imjin River.
At the same time, a large number of Japanese ships also sailed into Yongheung Bay in eastern Korea, carrying the 8th Hirosaki Division, which was known for fighting tough battles, and the 9th Division, which had fought hard in tough battles. These two lines are both a containment and a means of attack. If they are not handled well, they can make a comeback in northern North Korea at any time.
The situation suddenly became serious.
As for the People’s Army, although the three major battles of Guandongzhou, Longxingjiang, and Pyongyang were completed in one go, they also exhausted the vitality and vigor of the armies that entered the DPRK earlier.
Since the People's Army was basically on the offensive, although it caused huge casualties to the Japanese army, it also suffered considerable losses: when dealing with the 2nd Division, due to the suddenness of the battle and superior firepower and troop strength, basically every three Japanese troops were lost. Two people's officers and soldiers were killed or injured;
Against the 6th Division, despite the manpower advantage, the loss of troops was one to one, even slightly better for the Japanese; only against the weaker 19th and 20th Korean Divisions, the situation was better, but it was basically one to one. two.
At present, the casualties of the Japanese army are real, while the People's Army has won many battles and has been able to provide timely and effective care to its wounded soldiers. The actual number of casualties is much less, but it still reaches 30,000. Including those seriously injured and unable to fight, the number is nearly 60,000.
This is also one of the reasons why Chaosi asked for a break and replaced the fourth echelon.
Retaining these officers and soldiers who have experienced war is an important inheritance of experience for the new People's Army. Actual experience is more valuable than any textbook. The advantage of China's vast territory is that fresh troops can be continuously added and it can maintain its vitality to a great extent.
???????????????? The elite troops of the Japanese army are fighting each other one by one. In a short while, the individual advantage that relies on years of training cannot be maintained for a long time
This is also the basis of the "protracted war" theory.
But this also brings about a problem: the number of five soldiers in the Fourth Corps is a bit insufficient? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 888 Heavy artillery fire
The 27th, 3rd, and 2nd Army were stationed in sequence in the west, south, and east. The 29th Army of Liang Zhongjia was stationed in the Xingnan Port, Wenchuan, and Wonsan areas of the East Korea Bay-this was to prevent the Japanese troops from landing here and Controlled the important town of Hamhung in central North Korea, but the Japanese army did not enter from then on.
But even so, this unit cannot be moved - it is also responsible for supporting the northeast and protecting the retreat of the 2nd Army going south. After the Japanese landing battle at Yongxing Bay started, the 29th Army hastily Reinforcements here.
The only one that can move is the 21st Army stationed in Pyongyang.
Because Yongxing Bay is bordered by the continuous Dafeng Mountains, even the 8th and 9th Divisions, which are as strong as the 8th and 9th Divisions, cannot deploy. Therefore, Ji Yiqiao's judgment is that this Japanese army can only feign an attack to contain other forces with the People's Army. War, but it cannot be ruled out that the situation may become fake due to changes in the situation. War is always full of changes, and this is its charm.
Taking into account the geographical location and artillery superiority of the Imjin River garrison, as well as the smooth logistics, Ji Yiqiao was confident that he could provide sufficient support after the Battle of Nampo, so he only let the 100th Division of the "Banzai Division" go south and focused on To Nanpu.
As long as the Japanese troops in the western Korea Bay are repulsed, with the convenience of the railway, the distance from Kaesong to Pyongyang is only 122 kilometers, and the reinforcements will arrive at the Imjin River in two hours.
The situation is about to be broken, so don’t divide your troops at this time. It’s still a fight, and it’s also a very important position. Why sacrifice the near for the far?
"In this way, two armies versus two divisions are a situation in which the People's Army has the upper hand. Ji Yiqiao wants to drive the Japanese army into the sea. However, if he knew the determination of the Japanese army this time, it is questionable whether he would still deploy it like this.
In front of the Imjin River, the 8th Regiment is already in place. However, looking at the water flow and the vague artillery array on the other side of the river, Captain Nakamura was still shocked.
The 9th Division of the People's Army has been here for five or six days, which is long enough to set it up as an iron wall. As a veteran of the Osaka Division and a businessman at heart, Nakamura was keenly aware that this terrain was a cemetery for infantry attacks.
I thought I had avoided the People's Army artillery blockade that was fighting to the death, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating: although artillery fighting on peaceful ground would cause a lot of losses, it would definitely be much better than here.
What’s even more annoying is that in order to control the main railway bridge connecting the north and the south, the People’s Army reinforced a position several miles in radius at a prominent place on the south bank of the bridge. Although the terrain is not high, it still forms a condescending position to other places. It is like a wedge piercing the south of the Yangtze River. If it is not removed, can we expect the Japanese army to swim across it?
The entire river was quiet. If the wheel marks of the retreating artillery regiment were not still clear, he would have doubted whether there was anyone living here. He ordered a squadron of infantry to fumble forward and make a tentative attack.
No one responded, the huge position was like an undefended city, which made Nakamura feel more excited. He picked up the telescope, trying to see some clues in the vague fluctuations. However, he could see nothing except the vague fog.
I looked back and saw that the cannon could not keep up due to the distance. But in a battle in such terrain, it would be difficult for artillery to operate, right? I have already said what I said before. If I don't take any action, I will definitely be questioned again after the war - I would have known better to cooperate with the Aso Regiment to fight the Chinese artillery on the road.
Although there may be many dead people, as long as they are all suppressed, victory will definitely belong to you. Pooh! Look at my head!
There was no better way. He bit the bullet and Nakamura instructed his large team: "Attack, pay attention to seize the commanding heights!"
“In fact, there is no need for him to talk nonsense. This army, which values ??life more than anything else, does have unique insights in preventing sudden attacks: it moves forward slowly, with people on both sides to guard from time to time, and basically walks for a while to observe. It's safe this way, but at this speed, it will take years and months to cross the Imjin River?
Nakamura was a little anxious. He was about to order the troops to speed up. Suddenly there was a loud burst of gunfire and countless tongues of flame coming out from every corner. Although the squadron of more than 100 people was cautious, how could it end well if it fell into an ambush circle without obstacles? In just five minutes, the unfortunate vanguard fell in a pool of blood.
Their deaths also gave Nakamura a chance. It was great, but the firepower network of the People's Army was also exposed at the same time. Nakamura ordered the accompanying mortar crew to suppress fire.
Fires rising into the sky and deafening explosions were heard one after another, as the two sides competed for or defending the Imjin River.
At this time, the 7th and 8th divisions, which were trying to break out of the tight encirclement, had already pressed on the final reserves. Surrounded by three divisions, basically if you can't escape, you will die, so you have to work hard from top to bottom, which also makes the 3rd Division responsible for sniping complain.
Don’t say that the Japanese army hasWhen they withdrew the main artillery force in an emergency and had a great chance to strengthen the defense of the Imjin River position, Hui De'an felt a sense of relief: With such Chinese soldiers, China will surely win! There will be successors to Chinese military officers with such broad vision!
Since the People's Army stabilized the defense line in time, the Japanese 3rd Division also needed to lick its blood.
The two reorganized divisions were not something it could swallow up easily. Seeing that the Aso Regiment, which was known for its bravery and bravery, was suffering heavy casualties and was unable to break through the People's Army artillery defense line on the opposite side, the commander of the Anmanqin First Division also decided to wait for the attack and dispatch artillery support. Therefore, the battlefield A rare calm came down, allowing the remnants of the 7th Division to successfully retreat to new positions.
Commander Zheng Dianqi was the last group to retreat into the defensive circle. Along with this breakout, he lost half of his troops, including a regimental commander who was hit by a cannonball flying from Seoul during the retreat and died on the spot.
He felt extremely guilty about leaving the wounded soldiers to retreat (escape), especially when he heard that Wang Meng, the deputy commander of the 21st Regiment, volunteered to stay and lead the wounded soldiers. When he thought about this, he couldn't forgive himself. Leading the team in person is also a sign of atonement.
It’s just that he’s also a good fortune teller. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 889 Killing Prisoners
??
The well-planned and heavily besieged 3rd Army calmly escaped from the encirclement. Of course, it was only temporarily out of the siege. It still made the commander of the 1st Division, Lieutenant General Wada Guiji, very angry. This also spread the anger to the wounded people's army who served as the rear. On the soldiers.
These wounded soldiers, including 432 previously severely wounded, 108 overweight wounded who could not move, and more than 200 moderately wounded who were unable to keep up during the retreat and retreated again, served as snipers under the organization of Wang Meng, deputy commander of the 21st Regiment. The main force retreated and tried to help as much as possible. Surrounded by most of the Japanese army, they quickly lost their combat capabilities, but they bought some time and suffered some additional casualties.
When the murderous Japanese soldiers rushed into the People's Army's position based on the wounded barracks, Wang Meng knew that resistance was pointless, and he ordered all officers and soldiers to stop resisting. Under the gunpoint of a Japanese soldier, he said calmly: "I want to see your commander."
The Japanese army found a translator and brought him to the commander of the Hotan Division. Looking at the stumbling People's Army general, Hotan, although brutal, still showed a trace of respect.
At this time, Wang Meng had lost one of his arms. Under the hasty bandage, his chest was bright red. Despite this, he used his only remaining right hand to adjust the style button on his collar.
Through the translator, Wang Meng made a request for preferential treatment of prisoners of war: "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, I am Wang Meng, deputy commander of the 21st Regiment of the 7th Division of the 3rd Army of the People's Army. I ask you to treat our wounded and others who are in battle well." Captured personnel!”
Wada was surprised: "Request?"
"Yes. Without weapons, you are no longer a combatant. I have heard about the incident of some of your soldiers insulting our wounded soldiers. This matter is very embarrassing, at least according to our requirements!"
There was a hint of fierceness in Wada's squinted eyes, and he said coldly: "As a defeated general, you have no right to ask me for anything!"
Wang Meng retorted decisively: "It's not a defeat, it's a loss of combat capability! Our army has done everything they can, and you can see that their bravery speaks for itself." The glory of a soldier defeats everything, and he cannot ignore the enemy. An insult to him.
Wada smiled and said: "Okay, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel. You go and assemble your team and let us see how brave they are!"
It is no longer possible to gather. The seriously injured people themselves need to be carried, and there is no way to take care of other more seriously injured people who cannot move. There were only some people's officers and soldiers who were captured later and some wounded soldiers. They either stood two by one, supported each other, or simply dragged their comrades on the sheets and walked forward slowly.
A Japanese sergeant kept urging him to move quickly, but the wounded soldier who could not move any further or faster could not cooperate with his actions. He angrily hit a People's Army soldier dragging a wounded leg with the butt of his rifle. The soldier couldn't resist at all and fell directly to the ground. His hands that he waved unconsciously still put them on the backs of the people in front, bringing them down with him. The Japanese soldier laughed.
Seeing this scene, Wang Meng was furious. He pointed directly at Hotan's face and said: "They are all our fearless warriors. You can't insult him like this! General, as soldiers, they are blameless on the battlefield!"
Wada was still smiling, but the corners of his mouth moved. Anyone familiar with him knew that it was a sign of determination. He silently winked at a commander who couldn't hold himself back, and the latter nodded in understanding.
There were about 600 people's army prisoners of war who were gathered together, and they were all driven into a mountain valley by the Japanese army. Looking at the rugged slopes and the malicious smiles of the Japanese soldiers, Wang Meng suddenly felt that something was wrong.
This is not a posture to pacify the wounded soldiers, but to let them fend for themselves. Without medicine, many of the wounded would not survive the night. However, he did not expect that the Japanese army had a more vicious plan than this.
After everything was settled, Wada was still smiling: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, for imperial soldiers, the best warriors are those who die on the battlefield! You also said that they are blameless on the battlefield. , then, as compensation for the winner, I think there is no better way than watching the opponent die."
Wang Meng was horrified and shocked: "Do you dare to risk the disapproval of the world and kill prisoners?!"
Hotan finally showed his true face: "Kill the prisoners? No, no, no, they are not prisoners, they are soldiers. This is respect for them!"
The destruction of four consecutive divisions plunged the entire country into a craze for revenge. For the Japanese Army, how to boost morale and avenge its past humiliation is an important issue for senior leaders. However, Wada is more inclined to choose killing. For soldiers, killing is the best way to stimulate masculinity.
Wang Meng stayed here just to have the opportunity to properly protect these wounded soldiers, but unexpectedly he encountered the most rogue army in the world! He put life and death aside and said sternly:"Wada! Is the bushido spirit you keep talking about just dealing with wounded soldiers? I should be ashamed of you! You are no match for us on the battlefield, and now you have completely lost your character! You and your army, It will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!”
No matter what he said, Hotan still had dignity. He ordered angrily: "Pull him out and kill him!"
Wang Meng struggled and was pushed out by two fierce Japanese soldiers. One of his hands was disabled and he was no match for them. In full view of everyone, Wang Meng was forced to stand facing the north, where his father, fellow villagers, wife, children and children were all.
The wounded soldiers didn’t know what was going on at first, but in an instant they began to understand that the Japanese army was going to kill people! Wang Meng's guard Shitou rushed over first: "Let go of our captain!" he shouted.
Shitou already had several gunshot wounds on his body, and there was still blood on his forehead, but no one came to bandage them. During the battle, he personally killed a Japanese soldier, which was the best reward for a soldier who rarely had the opportunity to be on the front line. However, this is also the final reward.
Because, a Japanese soldier raised his spear and the bullet penetrated him directly. After struggling twice, he died.
After witnessing the scene, the wounded walked towards the stone together. They didn't have the strength to curse or walk a little faster, but they faced the bright bayonets and machine guns of the Japanese army and moved forward without hesitation.
"Get up, people who don't want to be slaves! Build our new Great Wall with our flesh and blood! The Chinese nation is at its most dangerous moment, and everyone is forced to make one last roar! Get up! Get up! Get up! We are united as one, Braving enemy fire, advance! Advance! Advance! Advance!"
"Ta-ta-ta!" This is the roar of the Japanese machine gun. Following the tongues of fire, the soldiers fell into a pool of blood one after another, flowing together with the blood of the stones to form a big river.
Wang Meng burst into tears. The stone would never die. He insisted on staying for his own sake. He was only nineteen years old! He turned his head angrily and looked at Hotan with contempt, "The motherland and the people will avenge me, and victory will definitely belong to us!"
With a dull gunshot, he seemed to see countless People's Army soldiers marching on the auspicious clouds towards the Japanese island. Before his consciousness left his body, this scene was permanently fixed in the depths of his soul. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 890 Everyone has his own plans
??
The troops that rushed to reinforce the Imjin River were the 100th Division, which was famous for its broadswords and was nicknamed the "Long Live Division" by the young marshal himself. After receiving the order, Zhao Dengyu mobilized urgently and forced the army from vacation to front-line combat status, which took 4 hours.
It is 122 kilometers from Pyongyang to Kaesong and 58 kilometers from Saliwon to Kaesong. According to the traffic conditions of this era, it only takes one or two hours to take the train. Fortunately, the Beijing-Xinjiang Railway built by the Japanese in North Korea allowed the People's Army to The speed of troop deployment is quite fast.
Zhao Dengyu was extremely anxious.
Knowing the failure of the 3rd Army means that all previous efforts can now return to the starting point. He went south with the first group of troops, preparing to take over the defense of Linjin River as deputy army commander, which was personally designated by Jian Yiqiao. Knowing that the heavy artillery on the front line was there, the 100th Division advanced lightly. What is lacking now is people, not heavy weapons that take up space and are cumbersome.
Due to the rapid defeat and elimination of the Japanese army in northern Korea, the railway tracks from Pyongyang to the south were not damaged in time, and even the scenery was beautiful.
The scenery is picturesque.
But Zhao Dengyu was not in such a good mood to appreciate it. The chief of staff had already fetched a topographic map of North Korea. Although all the mountains and rivers were in his mind, he still took a heavy look at both sides of the Imjin River and considered several places.
Xintan and Jinhua are temporarily guarded by the remaining 12th Brigade regiment that was driven out by the 3rd Army. These two places must be conquered quickly and contacted with the 3rd Army on the east side, because the Japanese army can bypass the Imjin River and enter the Five Sacred Mountains at any time.
“Given that the Five Sacred Mountains are the throat of central Korea, once they are broken through, there will be no danger to defend the two hundred miles to the north, and the door to Pyongyang will also be opened, and the war will become more serious.
The 3rd Army currently has no obvious enemies. It is just trying to pull the line of control as far south as possible. Unfortunately, due to limited communication conditions, he was unable to contact them. What he could do was to have his 299th regiment follow them by car to Pingshan and then walk eastward, striving to reach and occupy these two important areas before Japanese reinforcements.
According to the defense plan delivered to the headquarters by Hu Zhen, commander of the 9th Division, 12 infantry companies and the expanded 7th Artillery Regiment were deployed on a 12-kilometer-long front. At the southern end of the railway bridge, a battalion of troops and an artillery battalion were deployed, and the rest served as the general reserve. This arrangement appears to be useful. Even I can only do this.
Ji Yiqiao has already thought about Zhao Dengyu's troubles, but there is no good solution for the moment. He has ordered the deployment of troops from Sinuiju or domestically, but due to limited transport capacity, it is saturated in Pyongyang. Deputy Commander and Logistics Minister Niu Yuanfeng has tried his best to mobilize trains from Northeast China to enter North Korea, but the delay is too late.
It’s hard enough for him.
"The food and clothing for hundreds of thousands of people, as well as heavy artillery and tanks, artillery shells and bullets, the daily consumption alone is an astronomical figure. In addition, we also encountered practical difficulties such as language barriers and unfamiliar geography. Niu Yuanfeng was like an old cow, working hard and arranging things in an orderly manner. When the war was at its most intense, he could only sleep two hours a day.
The people arranged by the young marshal are very capable!
The sound of the train rumbling south was masked by the rumbling gunfire from the front line. The Japanese 8th Regiment had already carried out four charges.
“On that mound with a radius of less than two miles, Zhongcun had already lost an entire brigade. Because it lies across the People's Army defense line and extends into the south of the Yangtze River, it is impossible to cross the railway bridge without solving it, and therefore it is impossible to swim across the river calmly.
After several rounds, the People's Army artillery on the other side has calibrated its position. For intensive Japanese charges, the artillery usually set up three or four artillery fire lines on the road, and all of them were rapid fire from a "reinforced" artillery battery. During the intervals when the Japanese troops were dodging barrages, the KPA infantry could calmly unleash their firepower, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese troops.
What a destructive tactic!
Originally, in order to eliminate the 3rd Army, the Japanese Army Headquarters adopted a light-armed versus light-armed approach to defeat the main force of the People's Army in one fell swoop. However, when the advance reached a certain level, their shortcomings of insufficient firepower were exposed.
Waiting for the cannon to come up? It takes a day. On this day, I don’t know what will happen, and it is not difficult for the People’s Army to take the initiative to blow up the railway bridge and let everyone see each other across the river.
Various intelligence shows that the number of the People's Army on the other side is not large, so considering the distance between Pyongyang and here, reinforcements can arrive day and night. In order to avoid a new round of stalemate, or to occupy more favorable terrain before a new stalemate, proactive and fierce attacks are essential. Moreover, the brigade headquarters has issued an order to advance quickly and expand the results of the battle. Being blocked here is not an option.
Nakamura looked at the people and horses coming one after another and felt heartbroken: These are his countrymen! The artillery fire in China was too sharp. If the estimate is correct, all the artillery of the 3rd Army was concentrated here. According to the establishment of the Chinese army, there are four artillery regiments.quantity! His own 8th Regiment and the entire brigade came, but they were just filling in the holes.
How can flesh and blood compete with steel?
Is there any way to avoid this fatal situation? Nakamura thought about it. Hey, there it is! The main force of the China Army is here, does it mean that the defense in other places is empty? I might as well take this opportunity to bypass this place and attack the weak position of the China Army. Places such as Xintan and Jinhua are the junctions of the two fists of the People's Army, the 3rd Army and the 2nd Army.
"If we hit here, we can not only tear the connection between the two parts, but also have the opportunity to penetrate into the middle of North Korea from behind the Imjin River and shoot from the left and right. Why not?"
What's more, the leader of the Gumi Brigade of the 12th Brigade of the 6th Division was rushed there together with a regiment from the north of the city. If he merged with it, it would be a great force, and it might be possible to avoid the current very strict situation. The situation can also be explained to the superiors.
The only undisciplined 4th Division of the Japanese army has always made unexpected trips, and this time is no exception. When Captain Nakamura decided to withdraw from the frontal siege and turn to the northeast, he heard a sound of praise.
“ Brute force and recklessness are not our strengths, surprise is our specialty. In this way, the 8th Regiment broke away from the battle line without any fanfare. The 9th Division, which was fighting hard, breathed a sigh of relief and also had some doubts: What are they going to do?
Hu Zhen, on the other hand, felt something was not good. He reported the situation to the Chaosi and asked what troops would join the Jinhua and Xintan front lines. The answer weighed on him: an infantry regiment of the 100th Division was rushing there at night.
At the beginning, the 3rd Army only defeated the remnants of the Japanese 12th Brigade instead of annihilating them, allowing them to escape safely to the critical place of Jinhua. Instead of consolidating the defense line and taking advantage of the victory to drive it out and open up connections with the 2nd Army, Commander Jixing underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, resulting in the current dangerous situation.
It was a good victory, but being beaten like this made him feel unspeakably angry.
Instead, he hoped that the 8th Regiment could touch his position, so as to provide indirect support to friendly forces. But when the Japanese army left, he didn't dare to divide his troops to pursue them - how could he know how the war was going in the south? If the Japanese army defeats the main force of the 7th and 8th Divisions and then advances quickly, this strength will be exhausted. Should Chao Sihuo be asked to urgently mobilize troops again? Isn’t it enough that the Third Army made a fool of themselves before? ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 891 Oriental Meat Grinder
The 8th Regiment can escape, but the 6th Regiment does not have such good luck.
After the main forces of the 7th and 8th divisions of the People's Army met with the joint artillery position, they were held back by an infantry regiment and 18 artillery pieces, leaving the pursuing 1st Division unable to start and waiting for the heavy artillery to move up.
During this period, Captain Aso realized that since his defense line was torn open, the People's Army must flee north. To the north is the Linjin River and the defense line of the Chinese Army. Once they retreat, the battle will be over: they are definitely no match for the Chinese in a desperate battle. It is for this reason that Commander Kunihiko Kuni Make a battle decision that lures the snake out of its hole.
what to do? Just block it!
Without thinking, he ordered the entire regiment to rush to the Imjin River. If I remember correctly, the Nakamura Regiment of the 4th Division has already taken the lead. If they can join him, they will have enough chance to stop this force on the riverside. Even if I and the 8th Regiment are exhausted, I still want to encircle and annihilate the 3rd Army as much as possible to achieve the goal of the campaign.
Because he wanted to avoid the artillery of the People's Army, his troops moved out of the way for more than three miles. Both sides marched north together, both lightly armed, so they moved forward without disturbing each other. As a result, it was a rare scene on the Korean battlefield to see two large-scale long snake formations advancing head-on with a distance of three miles.
However, the People's Army had to run to find a safe harbor for the rear troops, so relatively speaking, they still had a slight advantage.
After half a day, we entered the shallow wetland. According to the distance, we were already close to the Imjin River. The generals of the two armies during the process picked up their telescopes at the same time, and saw a bridge flying north and south on the Imjin River, which was particularly clear under the clear sun; on the south bank, many temporary fortifications had been set up, and hundreds of Japanese corpses were scattered in a mess. There, apparently, a hard fight took place.
Aso was very happy: "It was the 8th Regiment that conquered the railway bridge? Otherwise there is no reason why they can't see their people!" If so, it means that the 8th Regiment is ready to block the attack. Otherwise, with the strength of the People's Army, they will If our troops are not allowed to cross the river, the bridge will be blown up first.
Thinking of this, he almost jumped up with excitement and shouted loudly: "Run forward to help strengthen the defense line. We are going to block the China Army and annihilate its 3rd Army!"
The two regiments, with about one-third of their battle losses, had four to five thousand men, which was enough for the Chinese army to drink a pot.
The same situation was discovered by Commander Hui De'an. The Japanese army has seized this important area. His 8th Division and friendly forces are all infantry. If they want to attack by force, they will probably suffer heavy casualties. But it’s impossible not to fight. Will the whole army fall here in the end? Then the entire army would really be annihilated! Thinking of this, he also shouted loudly: "Rush forward and open a bloody path! Otherwise, everyone will die!"
One is to attack the defense line, and the other is to reinforce the defense line, but the same action is: moving towards the defense line south of the bridge.
The commander of the Qiaonan defense line is Yu Zhengsheng, commander of the third battalion of the 26th Regiment of the 9th Division. He has led his friends to rest here for a long time since the Japanese 8th Regiment left. From a distance, I saw two groups of troops winding up, head and tail, and my scalp felt numb.
???????????????????????????????????? My dear, the division commander was worried just now that the Japanese army would not leave here, now he is probably worried that the fight will not be completed, right?
However, the Japanese army does not look like they are going to fight. Look at their cheerful posture. When they reach the front of the position, they are still running towards the front with their guns on their backs. They have no sense of vigilance at all. What is this situation? Could it be that they thought we would welcome him?
?Looking at the team on the left, it doesn’t seem like the Japanese army: they are also carrying guns on their backs and dragging their tired bodies towards this side. But how do those clothes look like our people? A little closer, yes! It's a red star! The red star surrounded by the national emblem!
What kind of trouble is this? But doubts remain doubts, and the battle must still be fought. In order to prevent the Japanese army from cheating, he ordered the forward guards: "Send someone to inform the troops on the right not to get close to our defense line!" At the same time, he said to the communications troops: "Notify the artillery position and extend the artillery attack 15 degrees to our left front!"
In order to contact the artillery in a timely and effective manner, the division headquarters has set up a telephone for this position, which is directly connected to the artillery regiment command post and can also call the division headquarters. Because of this convenience, the People's Army artillery on the north bank can easily direct where to hit.
With a crisp "Hit!" the light and heavy firepower of a company on the left position started. The Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard were knocked down by dozens at once. Some of them were yelling and shouting, looking very angry. Some officers and soldiers who knew Japanese smiled and translated: "They were cursing why they opened fire on them!"
"Hahaha! Why did you fire on them? That's a good question! What are we here for?" Yu Zhengsheng still didn't understand where the Japanese army went wrong, but it was right to fight.
Aso was confused at first, but when he saw the roaring shells above his head, he realized: "It's the Chinese army!" He shoutedThe most important thing is to select one of the best second lieutenant officers in the regiment to serve as the flag bearer, and set up a dedicated flag guard squadron to protect it. The Japanese army at Imjin River only had an incomplete organization of more than a thousand people. Because the military flag was left here, a military flag guard team was still designated.
Because the Japanese army's combat regulations stipulate that when the battle situation is judged to be in danger of the entire army being annihilated, the military flag should be burned. But no matter what kind of defeat they suffered, the Japanese army had time to burn their flags and then commit suicide. Therefore, the flags of the previously defeated 2nd, 6th, 19th, and 20th Divisions were burned in advance.
And Aso decided that after another fruitless charge, he would resolutely destroy the military flag and retire with the country.
With a "Banzai", the remaining Japanese troops seemed to have been brainwashed again, and they regained their energy and moved forward. According to the custom of Japanese soldiers, when carrying out a suicide charge, the slogan will be "Long live His Majesty the Emperor" or "Long live".
Now, it’s time to meet Zhenzhang. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 892 A military flag was seized
The Japanese military flag was issued in the third year of the Meiji period (1870) in the form of the highest decree of the "Tai Zhengguan Proclamation", and is called the "Army Royal Flag". It evolved from the Japanese flag, the Sun Flag, with 16 blood-red rays of light, and is also known as the "Rising Sun Flag."
The army flag is decorated with purple tassels on three sides. On the top of the wooden painted flagpole, there is a trihedral gold-plated flag crown. On three sides are the 16-petal chrysanthemum pattern embossed emblem of the Japanese Imperial Family.
According to Hattori Takushiro's "The Complete History of the Greater East Asia War": "On January 23, 1874, Emperor Meiji of Japan personally conferred the military flag on the 1st and 2nd Guards Infantry Regiments. Since then, all newly formed infantry and infantry regiments of the Japanese army have The cavalry regiment must be awarded the military flag by the emperor himself, which serves as the core of the unity of the troops. The spirit of the soldiers towards the military flag is unparalleled in the world."
Because of this, in the official history of World War II, the Allied forces were eager to capture the Japanese flag, but they failed to do so.
Second Lieutenant Kurita, who was well aware of the seriousness of the matter, embraced the military flag and rushed forward closely behind the large group, escorted by a small group of flag guards. Death is no longer a problem. Since he became the glorious flag guard squadron leader, his heart has been entirely on this military flag: he always pays attention to keeping it clean and cherishes it far more than his own life.
It was when he held the military flag that he felt his own value and dignity, and he would protect it without hesitation at any time.
Yu Zhengsheng looked at the Japanese soldiers who were not afraid of death strangely, and sighed with some emotion. The loyalty and bravery of the Japanese army and their obedience to orders are quite impressive and worth learning; but this style sometimes seems particularly stupid: when there is no hope of life, the People's Army can also regard death as home, but it is not worth dying to die without meaning. Praising.
However, as fellow soldiers, Chinese soldiers cannot show weakness! He dialed the phone again and called the artillery to take aim.
Relying on the People's Army's abundant logistics capabilities, artillery shells can be continuously supplied. At the Shenyang Arsenal, the 75mm and 125mm howitzers supplied to the People's Army are being produced in three shifts.
"As long as it is beneficial to the war and to saving the lives of the People's Army soldiers, as a frontline commander, life and results should be the first principle in evaluating the use of firepower. This is what the young marshal said."
So the Japanese army experienced another baptism of artillery fire. This time, it was bruised and broken.
The People's Army completely suppressed the Japanese attack at a very small cost. After the bombardment ended, the overwhelming People's Army attacked from all directions, tearing apart the Japanese defense line that had been crippled.
The Japanese Second Battalion was struggling desperately. Captain Matsui was already covered in colors, but he still asked anxiously: "Have the military flags been burned?" His guard was ordered to ask, but was killed on the spot by a shell falling from the sky.
Captain Aso’s focus was no longer on rescuing the troops. When he was desperate, he also sent people to search for Kurita and made burning the military flag a top priority. Originally, Kurita was following him closely, but when the explosion was rising and falling, he could not be seen in the crowd at all. Just when he was feeling uneasy, a weak voice came from the ground: "Colonel, the military flag is here."
Poor Kurita, his feet must have been blown off just now, and he was temporarily unconscious from the pain. But he is a very perseverant person and woke up at the critical moment.
Looking at the military flag that was stained red with blood in his arms, Aso felt like he was receiving an amnesty. Although the battle was defeated this time, according to the Japanese Army's theory, as long as the military flag is there, no regiment can be considered wiped out and can be rebuilt. But if the military flag is lost, the designation will be cancelled, and he will suffer endless humiliation, far worse than defeat!
Regarding this matter, Gomigawa Junpei, who was recruited into the army as a young intellectual, was deeply confused and angry: "The military flag is just a flag, just a symbol of an army. It is just a formality to say that it was given by the emperor. That's all; war is judged by victory or defeat, how can the military flag determine victory or defeat?"
“However, in the memories of most Japanese soldiers in the past, they would not have any objection to this. Cao Songyuan Caoping, a survivor of the battle and a medical officer of the health team, recalled this in his book "The Vast Wilderness":
“The military flag is just a flag, at best a symbol of a unit. However, the entire Japanese army values ??the military flag very seriously and is more noble than anything else in the army. If we talk about the reason, we should also say that it is the result of Japan’s military education.
"I remember that when I was a child, whenever there was an army military exercise, my mother would always carry me on her back and follow the neighbors to watch it and participate in the welcome ceremony. She never dared to neglect. When the bright bayonet was accompanied by a black cloth wrapped When the flying military flag passed by, my mother and neighbors all knelt down and knelt down to worship, watching the flag pass by with tears in their eyes.
To this day, whenever I see the military flag, I still lower my head involuntarily. This is probably the result of being influenced by that era. That?.
The domestic media has not yet realized its preciousness, but Zhang Hanqing is aware of it.
In the official history, during the eight years of the War of Resistance, the Japanese army only burned two military flags in two "jade-breaking" battles in Songshan and Tengchong, belonging to the 113th Regiment and the 148th Regiment respectively. This is really the most commendable pride of the Chinese army during the eight-year war of resistance!
According to data, during World War II, a total of 444 military flags as symbols of the Japanese army were burned in the Pacific battlefield, the troop transport ships sank at sea, or were destroyed in the "flag burning" ceremony held after the defeat. Later generations only preserved a flag of the 321st Infantry Regiment in the "Yushukan" of the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo. The flag was hidden and preserved by the commander of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Shiro Goto, through a right-wing religious organization called "Shinto Tenkyoju". This is also the only flag in the world. A preserved Japanese military flag.
The influence of this military flag is extraordinary. It is not only evidence that China has defeated its powerful enemy Japan, but also a slap in the face to the Japanese people who are increasingly clamoring against China to wake them up.
The Chinese People's Army was not only able to annihilate entire divisions and brigades of the Japanese army, but was also able to completely capture the regiment flag that was its spiritual pillar. This was of significant psychological impact on them and an improvement in the morale of the Chinese army. In particular, the Third Army was highly publicized in Japan when it was defeated. This military flag was the best counterattack.
So Zhang Hanqing personally signed off and increased his merit by one level, to a special level, and awarded it to recruit Liu Erdan. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

??
The merit of surrendering a military flag is several times greater than killing a colonel! Regardless of whether the People's Army on other battlefields believed it or not, it was true that Liu Erdan was awarded the award for his meritorious service, because he had been commended by the entire army, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs even opened a special propaganda line for Japan.
This made the People's Army on various battlefields very excited, so every time they fought, they had to carefully look for whether there was a military flag included. Although no military flags were found later, due to the meticulousness of each department, the battlefield was cleaned very cleanly. This was purely spontaneous.
But the impact on the Japanese army was huge. The Aso regiment was completely destroyed, and the regiment flag was also captured. The blow to Japan was far heavier than Zhang Hanqing imagined. The commander of the 5th Brigade repeatedly wanted to apologize for this, and the commander of Anmanqin's 1st Division also sent a long message to the General Staff Headquarters, explaining in detail the circumstances surrounding the loss of the military flag.
If the war had not continued, he would have been deprived of his position as division commander.
For safety reasons, the Japanese troops on all fronts had to put their flags in Busan for safety. So from this day on, the Japanese troops on the Korean battlefield will not have military flags
The reason why the Japanese army attaches great importance to the military flag is that it is the highest materialized form of Japanese militarism. It was so overcorrected that in the end it was impossible to distinguish that the essence of the war was victory rather than keeping the flag.
In the summer of 1939 in official history, the Battle of Suzinomonhan broke out on the border between the then puppet "Manchukuo" and Mongolia. From the Soviet offensive on August 20 to the ceasefire on the 30th, within 10 days, the Kwantung Army suffered 18,000 casualties. Most of the 23rd Division and 7th Division's organic units were completely annihilated. The Japanese Army encountered The most disastrous defeat since the formation of the army.
Under this situation, the Japanese army is still planning a larger-scale death attack. Why? Junpei Gomikawa, a former veteran of the Kwantung Army and a Japanese writer, wrote in his book "Nomonhan":
"I heard that after the 64th Regiment and others were annihilated, what the Kwantung Army and the 6th Army were most worried about was not whether or how Captain Wuguang Regiment of Shanxian County and others died. What they were most worried about was whether the military flag was completely burned and whether there was any Falling into the hands of the enemy. After that, the Kwantung Army mobilized the 2nd Division, 4th Division and other directly affiliated troops in an attempt to launch a major counterattack. The missing military flag was one of the main reasons. The military flag became a major worry for them. "
On September 24, the Japanese army finally discovered the bodies of the two captains of the 64th Regiment Yamagata Takemitsu and the 13th Independent Field Artillery Regiment Ise Takahide at Highland 747. They also found the bodies of the 64th Regiment that had not been completely burned. The military flag (the artillery regiment does not have a military flag), and the military flag's chrysanthemum royal pattern crown was also found in the flag bearer's pocket.
This discovery made the 6th Army and the Kwantung Army breathe a great sigh of relief. What they were most concerned about was not how many soldiers died, but the military flag: what made them most uneasy and restless was whether the military flag fell into the hands of the Soviet army. hand. Because for them, losing the military flag was a great shame and humiliation for the Kwantung Army. More importantly, losing the military flag also means losing one's own face.
Whether it is the "second phase operation" planned by the Kwantung Army or the "battlefield cleanup", one of the potential factors, or the unspeakable purpose, is to find the missing military flag.
As for the Japanese 7th Division participating in the war, since the division commander Sonobe and Lieutenant General Ichiro were not confident in this war, which was like fighting against stones, they asked their regiment in advance to leave all the military flags at Qiqihar. Although there were not many soldiers left in the three regiments, the 7th Division was greatly relieved for this.
??The Chinese may think this is a ridiculous trivial matter. Then we must talk about another thing: in addition to the military flag, another materialized form of the spirit of Japanese militarism is the so-called "Yasukuni Shrine". Why did successive generations of Japanese prime ministers after the war dare to brave the disapproval of the world and insist on paying homage to ghosts? Because it is a sealed "spiritual atomic bomb".
As long as this seed is enshrined, once the time comes, the "flower of ideals" of the Yamato nation will surely bloom again, and the Japanese will surely let the forgetful people relive its past appearance.
In early 2008, the documentary "Yasukuni Shrine" independently produced by Chinese TV station in Japan Li Ying was repeatedly suspended from being released in Japan, which fully demonstrated that "Yasukuni Shrine" is an untouchable spirit that many Japanese people strive to maintain. Sensitive zone.
Since Japan is a nation that pays attention to form and details, the Chinese must pay attention to this, because there may be secrets hidden in it that we don’t know.
Historically, Japan, which surrendered after defeat, spared no effort to preserve the "emperor system" and regarded it as the only condition for accepting the "unconditional surrender" of the Potsdam Declaration. In the eyes of the Chinese, it will be different depending on who becomes the emperor. However, now we all know what a powerful spiritual pillar the preservation of the "emperor system" is for the Japanese:
With it, Japan will never become a democratic country like the West; it is difficult to say that the "Peace Constitution" formulated under external force will not be revised, so whySince modern times, Japan has always been famous for its unpredictable behavior, cunning and sneak attacks, and its failure to play by the rules of the game. When Chinese culture was imported into Japan, Japan has always emphasized "skills" over "Tao". What they are most interested in are the art of war, tactics and the Thirty-Six Strategies.
Therefore, don’t easily believe that Japan is now a “peaceful country”. Mr. Sun Yat-sen and Lu Xun also felt a strong sense of peace when they stayed in Japan.
When Sun Yat-sen gave a speech to the Japanese people in Kobe in 1913, he also fervently hoped that the rising Japan could become the "Kingcheng of the East". However, later Japan not only broke through Mr. Sun's bottom line of not being "the domineering eagle dog of the West", but simply used its special products to The hegemony of militarism has become the vanguard of the worst insult to China.
Japan was defeated in 1945, but the Japanese have always experienced Chinese idioms and allusions more deeply than the Chinese, such as "sleeping on fire and tasting courage", "making a comeback" and "making a comeback".
But unfortunately, they met a Chinese who was more familiar with the Japanese than the Japanese, Zhang Hanqing.
“In leading the Chinese people from a poor, backward, and weak old China to a new China, he not only succeeded in making the Chinese people live a vigorous life, but also broke the backbone of the Japanese people. The 3rd Army was defeated and then victorious, as evidenced by thousands of corpses along the Imjin River. More importantly, this battle has a lingering shadow in the minds of the Japanese army, that is, the firepower of the People's Army is too fierce.
Commander Jiu Nigong Bangyan Wang could not understand that a regiment did not have time to burn the military flag under the attack of the People's Army. What kind of rhythm is this! He became pessimistic about the outcome of the war. Such a good plan, with the strength of three divisions, was unable to annihilate most of the People's Army. Instead, it turned defeat into victory. How could we fight this battle!
You must know that these three divisions are the first-class main forces in Japan. They are the best in Japan in terms of equipment and manpower. The opponent is just an ordinary one of the 36 armies. The real five main armies have just fought against the Japanese army on the east and west coasts, but the initial feedback is that it is quite difficult to deal with.
For the first time, Commander Jiuergong Bangyanwang had the intention of quitting. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 894 Fierce Battle
If the Japanese army has always believed that the People's Army's superiority in the Kanto Prefecture and Korean battlefields comes from the difference caused by its obsession with improving the army's weapons, battlefield reports from central Korea cannot convince it of this conclusion.
The Nakamura 8th Regiment stayed away from the People's Army defense line along the Imjin River in order to preserve its strength. When they came to the Jinhua front line and wanted to join forces with the Gumi Regiment of the 6th Division, they "accidentally" encountered an enemy from afar. The 299th Infantry Regiment of the 100th Division of the People's Army.
The mission of the 299th Regiment is to contain the remnants of the Japanese Gumi Brigade so that they will not penetrate deep behind them. There was only one regiment left in the original Gumi Brigade, which was no match for the regiment of the People's Army. After the addition of the Nakamura Regiment, the numerical advantage that the People's Army had always had on the Korean battlefield no longer existed in this small theater, and it was at a disadvantage. state.
The incident happened suddenly, and there was no way out: all the troops were locked in a hard fight, and for a while, the reinforcements would only give priority to the Imjin River, which destined the 299th Regiment to defend the situation.
However, although the Japanese army had a slight numerical advantage, they also lacked heavy firepower and it was difficult for them to achieve an overwhelming victory. As long as they stick to the defense, the strength of an infantry regiment can completely withstand two regiments. According to the principle of three times the offense and defense. The officers and soldiers of the 299th Regiment all knew that as long as they stayed here for a day or two, the situation would change drastically.
Gumi and Nakamura also understood this truth, so after a brief summary, they ordered an uninterrupted attack.
The ones leading the charge were the remnants of Gumi.
Gumi is not interested in the Fourth Division. Perhaps because of its reputation as "the number one loser in the Japanese army", he does not dare to let this unit fight in the front line. Although Nakamura's Eighth Regiment is the core of the entire division, it also gained the "brave reputation" of the "Eighth Regiment that is not afraid of defeat" due to repeated defeats in the Russo-Japanese War.
"However, no matter how thin the mosquito legs are, they are still meat. It is pleasant to have a team of several thousand people come out for nothing. The Nakamura United team can't fight, and Gumi doesn't plan to use them as a forward, so it's okay to serve as cover on both wings, right?
The middle and lower-level officers of the Japanese army have all experienced the baptism of the battlefield. In many cases, they are more familiar with the battlefield conditions than the senior officers and can better grasp the battle situation. Throughout World War II in official history, Japan had almost no strategic masters. Many wars during the period were organized by junior officers themselves. The most famous one was the "September 18th" Incident, which was considered a typical example of "lower forces overcoming superiors."
?????????Leaving aside the military orders and military and political systems, Japanese middle- and lower-level officers can be regarded as "courageous and knowledgeable."
Moreover, Gumi himself was under tremendous psychological pressure: the four divisions that fought with the Chinese People's Army were almost completely destroyed, and only half of his brigade survived. In Japan, which believes in the spirit of Bushido, it is already considered a kind of What a shame. No matter how determined he is, he can't resist the bad public opinion that has been spread against him.
If he doesn’t perform well in this battle, he will have no choice but to have a caesarean section after the war.
And this time is a good opportunity for him to wash away his shame: the People's Army is temporarily weak, and as long as he breaks through the defense line of the People's Army on the opposite side, it will be like tearing a big hole in the middle of North Korea, destroying the results of the People's Army's hard work for a long time. . It’s hard to say what the outcome will be, but causing a disturbance in the originally stable area controlled by the People’s Army makes sense to both superiors and subordinates.
So he spared no effort in attacking.
So, another battle began that was no less fierce than the fierce artillery battle on the Imjin River. The difference was that both warring parties used light weapons. The most effective ones are only a small number of mortars carried by the infantry, and four combat anti-cannons per company, and more are hand grenades used by individual soldiers.
According to the 1927 army organization, each infantry battalion is equipped with a mortar company and a heavy machine gun company, and the infantry regiment also has a field artillery company with an organization of 6 guns. Even without the support of divisional artillery, such firepower has to be taken seriously by the Japanese army.
However, the inconvenience of transportation limited the firepower of the People's Army: due to defense and emergency operations, the field artillery batteries, which were relatively inconvenient to move, did not follow the main force; in addition, the mortars and heavy machine gun units did not have sufficient logistical supplies.
Of course, the situation of the Japanese army was not much better: the 12th Brigade, which had lost all its heavy weapons, and the 8th Regiment, which served as the vanguard of the emergency movement, were both lightly equipped, and both sides were about the same in terms of weapons configuration.
It is worth mentioning that historical battles between the Chinese army and the Japanese army have shown that if both sides use light weapons, the well-trained Chinese army is no worse than the Japanese army.
For example, in the well-known Battle of Sihang Warehouse, the Japanese army was unable to conquer it for a long time. It was not because Commander Xie Jinyuan had three heads and six arms and was better at fighting than others, but because Sihang Warehouse faced concessions on three sides and the Japanese army could not use heavy weapons. In this case, there was almost no difference in the combat effectiveness of the two sides. The Japanese army's advantage in the war of aggression against China was mainly in key areas.arms.
Now, we can’t fight with heavy weapons, and we don’t have an advantage with light firepower, so this battle will be quite impressive.
At first, the Japanese army launched exploratory attacks in squadrons. However, such a small amount of manpower was simply a warm-up for the People's Army on a huge battlefield, and scattered gunshots from different directions beat them to pieces.
After years of drills, especially the mid-level and senior officers who have undergone many military trainings, the People's Army has made great progress compared with the original Fengjun era. Infantry attack and defense drills are compulsory courses for officers at all levels. Trying to disrupt the situation with a small number of troops will be useless.
Therefore, Gumi issued an echelon attack order: "Each brigade takes turns to advance and hold its position. Each unit must sacrifice at all costs and fight the battle into Korea in one go. This is not only a consolation for the dead, but also the cornerstone of our army's foothold on the Korean battlefield. You must carry forward the imperial spirit and go all out to complete your mission!"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
This is a group of backbone forces, the essence of the Japanese army. They represent the highest achievement of the Japanese Army, so their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated in any way. The fearless infantry attack caused both sides to consume a large amount of bullets. In less than half an hour, the bullets on the front line were all exhausted one after another, which made the commanders on both sides extremely anxious.
"However, the frontline officers and soldiers who have already acted aggressively no longer care. The superior military strength cannot defeat the Chinese soldiers who have always been humble, let alone avenge the martyrs of the empire? So the Japanese army also fought hard. The frontline commanders shouted: "Fight with the bayonet!"
So the officers and soldiers on the front line of the People's Army saw such a strange scene: following the Japanese commander's order, the sound of bullets being ejected was heard from the opposite position - weren't there still bullets? Why don't you finish the fight and then use the bayonet? Or wouldn't it be better to fire a few bullets occasionally during the bayonet fight?
Because in any case, flesh and blood cannot withstand bullets after all. Are Japanese soldiers really stupid enough to have a completely "fair" duel with Chinese soldiers in order to defend the dignity of the so-called "bushido"? (Remember this site's URL: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 895 The Dagger Appears
??
no!
The Japanese army used a strange and eye-catching tactic to remove bullets before fighting with bayonets before hand-to-hand combat.
Speaking of which, this is a provision of its infantry doctrine. In the era of hot weapons, this provision was confusing because it seemed pedantic. However, it is by no means "suffering to save face", but a conclusion drawn by the Japanese army based on actual combat tests, which is consistent with the Japanese army's weapons and combat characteristics.
The so-called withdrawal of bullets before hand-to-hand combat refers to the moment when both parties begin close combat at a class or above scale. It is not just a matter of preparing for hand-to-hand combat and withdrawing bullets when charging, which is purely suicidal. At that time, armies from various countries were not only unable to withdraw bullets when charging, but they also had to shoot with all their strength during the entire process to suppress the opponent's firepower as much as possible.
War is cruel, and the Japanese army’s understanding of this is no different from that of other countries’ armies. In fact, during the Pacific War, whether on Saipan or Okinawa, when the Japanese army launched an infantry attack, they advanced while shooting, and placed light machine gunners on the front line to enhance suppressive firepower (because the front-line Japanese army has never been equipped with submachine guns) .
There is no need to worry about accidentally injuring one of your own. In World War II, even if the infantry assault skirmisher line launched an attack in the so-called "dense formation", its formation was far looser than in the cold weapon era, and the probability of soldiers overlapping front and back was not high. If a traditional dense formation is used, the effect of the impact is often very bad.
For example, the Japanese army's dense formation attack on "Blood Ridge" in Guadalcanal, and the Chinese army's attack on Highland 1002 in the Battle of Xinkou. The too dense formation caused the weapons of one's own rear personnel to be unable to be used, while the opponent's The hit rate of the weapon is greatly improved, which in vain increases one's own casualties.
However, according to the Japanese army’s own statistics, after the hand-to-hand combat began, the losses caused by retaining rifle bullets were greater than the gains. It was based on this judgment that the bullet was ejected after the hand-to-hand combat started. The reasons are said to be the following two:
First, the performance limitations of the infantry light weapons used by the Japanese army.
The most typical of the standard small arms of the Japanese army is the Type 38 rifle. It inherits the characteristics of its predecessor, the Murata-style rifle, which are high projectile muzzle velocity, long aiming baseline, and long gun body. Such characteristics make the Type 38 rifle have a long range, accurate shooting, and is also suitable for hand-to-hand combat. Not only the Japanese army likes to use it, but the Chinese army also likes to use it after it is captured. A batch was also imported from Japan before the war.
But it also has shortcomings, because the projectile has high muzzle velocity and good quality, so it is often easy to penetrate after hitting, the wound is smooth, and it hits two holes. It does little damage to the surrounding tissue, and its lethality is not as good as China's medium-sized rifles. In hand-to-hand combat, this shortcoming is more prominent, because in hand-to-hand combat, personnel from both sides often overlap each other and use Type 38 rifles, which often kill and injure their own people after penetration.
Furthermore, due to the reduced speed of the projectile after penetration, the projectile will roll and deform after the second hit, causing more serious trauma. However, an opponent who is only injured by penetration may not necessarily lose combat effectiveness on the spot and can still fight back!
In the Chinese battlefield of World War II, due to the advantages of equipment and training, the Japanese army's personnel losses compared with the Chinese army reached a level of 1:4 or even 1:6, and the Japanese army was at a personnel disadvantage. Therefore, using Type 38 rifles to shoot in hand-to-hand combat is obviously a loss-making matter because of accidental damage and a large number of casualties on one's own side.
Second, the Japanese army’s tactical understanding of hand-to-hand combat.
In hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese army’s standard assassination preparation posture is to hold the front handguard in one hand and the curved part of the front part of the rifle butt in the other hand. The rifle butt hangs slightly on the side of the supporting leg, facing the opponent semi-obliquely, and the bayonet tip is slightly at eyebrow level. In this way, the gun moves from diagonally above to diagonally below, just protecting the vital points of the neck, chest, and abdomen, and the bayonet can be stabbed with a flick of the bayonet.
The problem is that if you take this posture, you will find that the muzzle of the gun is not facing the opponent at all, but facing the sky diagonally above. Therefore, in combat, it is difficult to have more opportunities to shoot than to thrust.
When preparing to shoot, your finger must be placed on the trigger, which causes two serious problems: first, as soon as the weapons of both sides collide, the gun will misfire; second, the fingers cannot hold the gun with full strength, which affects the posture of holding the gun. You can't use your full strength to kill.
In addition, the 38-type rifle is too long, and the force distance required to turn the muzzle to aim at the opponent is also long. If the opponent does not appear directly in front, and the muzzle is turned for too long, the muzzle may not be in place, and you may have been stabbed. It is undoubtedly a more convenient method of combat to use the butt of a gun to strike at any time.
It can be seen that the Japanese army had very few opportunities to shoot effectively in hand-to-hand combat. Keeping the bullets in the barrel had little chance of achieving results, which instead affected the quality of hand-to-hand combat.
This is the real reason why the Japanese army's bullets ejected before hand-to-hand combat.
From the telescope, Gumi saw the majestic Japanese troops marching toward the People's Army position without hesitation.There were only sporadic gunshots, and he judged that the People's Army was short of "food" and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Once upon a time, the People's Army used its excellent equipment and abundant manpower to defeat the Japanese army on the Korean battlefield. After these days of painful experience, Gumi believes that this has nothing to do with tactics, and that the People's Army achieved victory by "crushing" it entirely by force.
No matter which talented military commander he is, he can only lose in this one-sided battle. The artillery fire of the People's Army completely suppressed the courage of the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire.
Now, it’s time to show these hateful Chinese people the training results of the invincible locust army!
For Japan, a small country whose industrial conditions are far inferior to those of Europe and the United States, it cannot squander ammunition like these military powers. Therefore, after the Chinese army was equipped with submachine guns from American soldiers in history, the Japanese army still stubbornly believed that this weapon What a waste of ammunition. They stubbornly regard personal courage as the magic weapon to defeat the enemy.
In peacetime, bayonet is a compulsory course for all soldiers, and Japan has also worked hard in this regard. Therefore, the Japanese army has extremely strong individual soldiers. This is what they have always believed, and it is also the psychological basis for their courage to provoke hand-to-hand combat.
Unfortunately, his opponent was the 299th Regiment.
The 100th Division, which had just gained great honors throughout China, was its direct superior. The sword team that terrified the Japanese army is also here. We don’t know about other teams yet, but the 100th Division is not afraid of hand-to-hand combat. Not only are they not afraid, in order to bring honor to their hometown elders and for their previous honors, the Blade Team will never take a step back!
Captain Watanabe is the officer leading this group. He has already drawn the family treasure that he regards as life-the samurai sword that has been passed down for nearly a hundred years. "Today, let the blood of the Chinese people wash away my precious sword soaked in the spirituality and teachings of our ancestors!" He arranged for a squadron of Japanese troops to start a probing attack.
A group of Chinese soldiers, roughly the size of a company, also rushed over from the opposite side. They were also holding guns, with bayonets clearly stuck on the gun heads. In the land of East Asia, which has long entered the era of hot weapons, cold weapons still have to exert their residual heat.
They are so close, so close that you can already see the freckles on each other's faces. At this distance, a short charge can be made, which will boost morale and have a certain impact on the infantry. So Watanabe ordered the troops to line up and prepare to attack. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 896 “Shameless” Opponent
But the People’s Army doesn’t play by common sense. Just when Gumi, who was watching the battle, thought that the next step was a show of well-trained Japanese soldiers showing off their muscles, something strange happened.
When the two sides were approaching, preparing for hand-to-hand combat, and were about to make contact but had not yet made contact, the People's Army in the front row suddenly stood still under the order of an officer, and then fired a volley of "pop bang bang".
Because this salvo was at a close range and the targets were densely packed, the Japanese army was fully prepared for melee combat in the early stages and was completely unprepared, and was very lethal.
"It's like putting a gun into the belly of the Japanese army and firing it. The accuracy of this row of guns is also extremely high, and there is basically no need to aim." After a burst of smoke, at least fifty Japanese soldiers were shot dead on the spot, and a few unlucky People's Army soldiers were slightly deflected, but the Japanese soldiers who were hit were also seriously injured.
Afterwards, the people's officers and soldiers jumped up, and the real hand-to-hand combat began.
This is purely a premeditated and standard tactic. Half of the team of more than a hundred people was wiped out in one go, and the number of people was reduced. Moreover, this round of gunfire completely stunned the Japanese army: Why didn't the Chinese army play their cards according to common sense?
When Gumi saw this, he also yelled: "Shameless Chinaman! This is an insult to the spirit of the warrior!"
"It's a pity that company commander Hou Wanshan on the opposite side can't hear it - this platoon leader who once participated in the death squads without fear of his own life but worried about the lives of his wife and children has now been promoted to company commander. At this time, there was no trace of worry on his face, and life and death had long been ignored.
As for the so-called violation of "rules" that the Japanese were annoyed about, Captain Hou did not feel the slightest bit guilty. You must abide by your rules. Our rule is that if you can save one soldier from death, you will never spare bullets. This is the young commander's rule many years ago.
Yes, while Zhang Hanqing valued the morale of soldiers, he did not artificially make the role of spiritual power absolute. China's war has traditionally ignored the death of officers and soldiers. Many film and television works about the military often have the rhetoric "I don't care about the number of casualties, I just want xx", but it has been praised by many people.
But behind these casualty figures are living lives and broken families. Although there are certain restrictions and reasons, Zhang Hanqing does not want to highlight the tragedy of the hero too much.
Being able to kill as few people as possible, even one, is worth the effort. This view was reflected after the defeat of the Zhili clan - in order to reduce internal fighting as much as possible, he put his one-sided military advantage to take the initiative and This is the trend of thought when various factions talk about peaceful nation-building.
In addition, his people-oriented thinking is also reflected in the equipment of the People's Army.
In such a huge China, 36 armies seemed very large at first, but with less than two million troops and the fact that the country had not been liberated, it was completely insufficient. At that time, Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuoxiang, Wu Junsheng and other veterans of the army, as well as his team members such as Jiang Baili, Han Linchun and Guo Songling, all believed that the army should be greatly expanded. They believed that to maintain China's political power, the army must reach at least 4 million!
But China’s economic conditions are there. With limited national defense funds, if we support so many troops, the result will be that the number of the People's Army will expand, but the update of equipment will be slow. Its performance in the war must be: the People's Army uses flesh and blood to open a bloody road! However, the Chinese war tradition does not care about these, the result is the most important.
Zhang Hanqing directly rejected the theory of quantity victory, and instead chose to prioritize improving the quality of equipment.
Now, we can see that the People's Army's firepower configuration is far superior to that of the Japanese army, and the development of other arms and services is also advancing by leaps and bounds, Zhang Hanqing is indispensable. Of course, one advantage of this is that the quality of the soldiers is relatively high, and each team is truly armed, rather than just making up numbers.
At the same time, the concept of Chinese military science was gradually changed by Zhang Hanqing: war is an art and the worst step in politics, and it itself breaks political rules. Therefore, as long as it is a war, it does not matter if it is upright, as long as the loss is minimized, as long as victory is achieved.
Therefore, China’s military doctrine praises the behavior of cold shots before bayonets.
It is not surprising that there was a conspiracy that made the Japanese army "shameless". Although Watanabe was angered, his companions who had been so energetic just now suddenly fell in large numbers under the guns of the People's Army, which dealt a huge blow to the morale of the Japanese army.
More importantly, the Japanese army did not know whether bullets would come out of the guns of the People's Army on the opposite side, so their strides forward became cautious, concentrating on making their opponents look bad, and inevitably watching with distraction. The muzzle of the People's Army.
In this way, this row of guns has a great effect: it not only inspires one's own fighting spirit, but also frightens the enemy's troops, and also disrupts the enemy's formation. As the sound of gunfire disappeared, the people's officers and soldiers jumped up like tigers and wolves and charged towards the victims.The enemy rushed forward fiercely.
There is no one-to-one relationship, it is many-to-one relationship.
As a result of a row of guns, the two vanguard units, which were originally evenly matched, tipped in favor of the People's Army. The Japanese army, which had lost its spirit, faced the battle in a panic. It not only had to face numerous "challengers", but also had to be wary of "cold shots" that appeared at any time. The Japanese army struggled hard with its bayonets.
What they don’t know is that the People’s Army only stipulates that one row of guns should be fired before bayonets are used. Because by coincidence, Japan is not the only one who discovered that shooting in hand-to-hand combat outweighs the gains and losses. The Chinese army also discovered this problem.
The Chinese army does not have a doctrine that requires the removal of bullets in hand-to-hand combat. However, the Northwest Army troops widely use machetes in hand-to-hand combat. In fact, they also voluntarily gave up the shooting tactic. Because it is impossible to wield a machete in one hand and shoot a rifle in the other. Of course, this was also because the troops from the Northwest Army had unique sword skills and were the only Chinese troops at that time that could gain the upper hand over the Japanese in hand-to-hand combat.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Including the Eighth Route Army, which can touch bayonets in official history, assassination technology and training were far inferior to the Japanese army in the early stages of World War II.
Therefore, even if it is easy to accidentally injure one of its own people, the People's Army must retain the tactic of shooting during combat in order to achieve the goal of "several lives in exchange for one of his own." Because the Anti-Japanese War movies that Zhang Hanqing had watched in his previous life, including historical introductions, objectively demonstrated that the Japanese army had extremely high tactical literacy. In order not to suffer a loss or suffer less loss, he first took advantage of the fact that he had a gun and killed him a few times to gain a head start. , this is a darker idea.
Of course, in the subsequent propaganda, he still said righteously: "War is war. Why should the Chinese army follow the rules of the Japanese army? If we follow the spirit of Bushido, Japan should not launch a war. Let us use sports competitions to determine the winner!"
Originally, the Chinese were not weaker than the Japanese in terms of physique, but now their morale is ebbing and flowing, and there are so many people, how can they not win? In this way, a squadron was reimbursed.
Watanabe is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield. After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that the People's Army only relied on the first round of gunfire to seize the opportunity, because in the subsequent assassination, no gunshot was fired.
In this case, we must seize the time to fight with them closely. Otherwise, if the People's Army comes up with another echelon, it will inevitably repeat the same tactics, and the losses will be somewhat serious. And if it is posted quickly, the enemy and ourselves will be mixed, and it will be difficult for the People's Army to have a chance to make a cold shot.
So the other two squadrons swarmed up and quickly became entangled with Hou Wanshan's company.
His decision cannot be said to be wrong, but in a complicated battlefield, just because he can see through this does not mean that other Japanese soldiers can too. Because it only takes a short time to go from cold shooting to hand-to-hand combat, at least many Japanese soldiers in the next two squadrons do not have this awareness. There was already a fight in front, and those behind were rushing forward with their guns | butts in hand.
Hou Wanshan would not be so stupid as to use the power of Lu Jian to hit the opponent's strong bow. A squadron of the Japanese army has been successfully eliminated. It was all a labor of strength, and the officers and soldiers were exhausted. If we don't take a break, many of our friends who have won among the dead bodies will lose their lives in a meaningless manner - these officers and soldiers who have experienced actual combat are the soul of the army, and they will not be scattered so easily.
While he ordered a retreat, he stepped out of a place to allow the corresponding troops to catch up.
"Don't worry, the Japanese army still has a pot of delicious food behind.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The ferocious face of Japan can be seen, and the crowd is full of people. The People's Army is waiting for this opportunity.
Another group of soldiers with guns appeared and fired without saying a word. These soldiers were "educated" and shot each other in the thigh first before the two sides could confront each other.
The advantage of this is: due to the small distance, the enemy's bayonet cannot attack yet; the bullet penetrates the opponent's thigh and then burrows into the ground, so there is no need to worry about accidental injury. The most important thing is that bayonet fighting is a difficult "sport" that requires the cooperation of the whole body. If a Japanese soldier is shot in the thigh and cannot move smoothly, he will basically be at the mercy of others.
Because the guns of this era were of poor quality and the projectiles had low initial velocity, they often stayed in the opponent's body after being hit at close range. Although hitting the upper body is good, it is extremely difficult for bullets to penetrate; hitting the legs, on the other hand, is relatively easier to penetrate, and second, if the legs are weak in the subsequent hand-to-hand combat, you will know.
So it creates the paradox that hitting non-vital parts is more lethal than vital parts, but this is real.
What's more interesting is that because the distance is too close, some bullets will "ricochet" after penetrating the bodies of Japanese soldiers. Once friendly troops are hit, although there is rarely a danger of life, they are somewhat destructive, at least There will be some obstacles when it’s time to push hard.
Seeing that the second squadron was about to be beaten to pieces again made this group of Japanese soldiers fearful and made Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe worried. If we can't really press closely, we won't be able to protect the People's Army, and what tricks will it come up with? Unable to restrain his anxiety, he waved his command knife and rushed forward in person.
With Mr. Lieutenant Colonel as an example, the morale of the Japanese army was revived. The superiors do not care about their lives, but the inferiors have no doubts?
"However, it has always been a taboo in the military for a commander to rush to the front line. Although it can boost morale, it is inevitable that if the commander is killed in battle, it will have a huge impact on the entire army. Snipers who specialize in finding and destroying important enemy targets such as commanders have not yet appeared on the stage, but the "decapitation war" idea of ??"shooting the man first, shooting the horse, and capturing the thief first" has a history of thousands of years in China.
Watanabe, who was wielding a command sword decorated with lace patterns, was noticed by interested parties as soon as he made a move. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Unable to restrain his anxiety, he waved his command knife and rushed forward in person.

Chapter 897 Purely self-defense
It’s completely unintentional. Captain Hou, who was commanding his men to move aside, accidentally became the target of Watanabe's attack. After watching for so long, if you still don’t know that Hou Wanshan is the leader, then Watanabe has failed too much.
At this time, Hou Wanshan was still immersed in the joy of having succeeded in the surprise attack of Youlian. He was raiding the formation for Youlian and taking a break when suddenly someone shouted: "Company Commander! Be careful!" Then he saw a bright light in front of him. Suddenly, someone came over a few meters away with a bright long knife.
He grabbed the bayonet and tried to stop him. Unexpectedly, when he wanted to rest after the fierce battle, one of his legs became stiff and he couldn't use any strength. He sat down on the ground. It's too late to get up again.
Instinctively, he pulled out his pistol and shot Watanabe.
The company is the grassroots organization of the army. In the process of Zhang Hanqing leading the troops, no matter what word he uses, the importance he attaches to company-level units cannot be overstated. From "the branch is built on the company" to the most basic organization of the "soldier committee" in the political work system, Zhang Hanqing has worked hard on the construction of this level.
As a company-level officer, the company commander’s safety work can be regarded as having institutional arrangements: not only are there full-time guards, but they are also issued an imitation rifle.
For Chinese people who are accustomed to watching anti-Japanese dramas, shell guns are no stranger to them. But what they may not know is that long before the Anti-Japanese War, a large number of such pistols were in use in China.
There is a document dated September 10, 1924, in which the Ministry of War signed a contract with the Tianjin German Merchant Shichang Company to purchase: "One thousand, seven hundred new German Mauser pistols with a caliber of 7.63 mm, a barrel of 96 mm, and a sight gauge of one thousand meters. Together with the empty wooden handle and 500 bullets for each rod, one armor (note: fake) bullet, one spring, one bow spring and one rose plate, the net price of each rod was 70 yuan, totaling 111,000 yuan. Nine thousand yuan."
The barrel of the box gun in this piece is only 3.77 inches, which is quite special.
These guns are the basis for China’s imitation self-defense pistols.
With the good relationship between China and Germany, China can easily obtain production rights. This German shell gun has undergone almost no internal changes during its forty-year history of mass production, so it can be said that the original design is almost perfect and there is nothing to improve.
After the introduction of the Chinese army, it became a standard weapon for self-defense among officers. It is favored by officers of the People's Army for its powerful power, reliable action and ease of use.
It is relatively simple to manufacture, and the cost is not high, so it has quickly become popular equipment up to the company commander level. What Hou Wanshan used was such a pistol.
Since the long rifle used by the Japanese infantry is about three inches longer than the "Han" rifle commonly used by the People's Army, it is also equipped with a bayonet, so the Chinese army will suffer a bit. If there wasn't something else to add to the finale, I would be sorry for Zhang Hanqing's time travel.
So Zhang Hanqing tried his best to avoid physical combat. After the military reform in 1927, the infantry company not only had a machine gun squad, but also a firepower platoon of 22 people, equipped with four 37mm combat anti-cannons. With such equipment, as long as the tactics are correct, it will be a bit difficult to defend the opponent's three companies, but in one-on-one, no company in the world is afraid of it.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It is not a loss, if it is still to the point of fighting with a bayonet in the end. At least at the front lines of both sides, the Japanese army obviously suffered a big loss in the early firepower game.
However, this time the bayonet fight was obviously at a disadvantage for the Japanese army, because the Chinese People's Army did not follow his rules, but instead released cold guns while bayoneting, and they also had back-ups.
It’s just that, the Japanese army has been angered. Watanabe, who was hit in the chest at close range, could not raise the knife again because after finishing the shot, Hou Wanshan found out the identity of the opponent's lieutenant and shot again. This shot killed Watanabe.
Regiment captains and group captains are the cornerstone of the Japanese military organization. Because the entire regiment is generally recruited from a certain place, the Japanese military regiments also have a tradition of calling them by their own region in addition to their numbers. They generally had a troubling relationship. Watanabe's death made the Japanese army not only sad and angry, but also resentful of the People's Army's unreasonable behavior. Soon, a small group of Japanese soldiers rushed towards Hou Wanshan.
At this time, it has nothing to do with honor, only life and death. Hou Wanshan could not carry so many bayonets by himself, so he could only use the only life-saving weapon in his hand - a pistol.
Hou Wanshan was a little nervous at first, but then he thought: "I have killed three Japanese soldiers before, and now I have killed a lieutenant, which is enough. The Japanese army is so easy to fight now, kill one more and earn another." With this kind of thinking Thoughts, his mood began to calm down. One shot at a time, as easy as target shooting.
This Mauser pistol has twenty rounds of magazine, which is theoretically enough to destroy more than one squad of enemies. The few Japanese soldiers who came out first became the target of the gun. Seeing this "sharp shooter" method, the Japanese soldiers behind were trembling for the first time and dared not move forward.
These are twoAfter many sacrifices, the Chinese and American troops came to the conclusion: "The best way to fight hand-to-hand combat is to use a pistol against the Japanese bayonet." That was a bloody lesson.
At the beginning (or should it be counted later?), the U.S. military also engaged in many hand-to-hand combats with the Japanese during the Pacific War, especially in the jungles of the Pacific islands. The U.S. military's assault rifles had shorter barrels and suffered disadvantages when using bayonets in hand-to-hand combat. In the initial close combat, Long burst shots are often used to make up for its shortcomings.
When the Japanese army carried out night attacks and other operations, they were mostly surprise attacks, leaving the U.S. military with no time to use dense barrage to cut off the Japanese army in front of the battle line. Once in a melee, inexperienced soldiers firing with assault rifles often cause greater casualties to their own side than to the enemy.
In Betio, the US military commander Colonel Shop once threatened that if any soldier fired indiscriminately again, he would throw his gun into the sea and never fire a bullet again!
Hou Wanshan perfectly demonstrated this conclusion with practice in advance.
The pistol is short in length and can be easily turned to shoot in any direction. The shooting postures can also be varied. It has a small charge. Even if it hits the first opponent at close range, it is not easy to penetrate and injure the people behind it. Its range of power is far greater than that of a bayonet.
As for reloading, if the magazine is empty of bullets and there is a bayonet approaching, then you can only accept your fate. However, the US military's standard hand|gun has seven rounds of ammunition, which is equivalent to the ability to fire seven swords in succession. In a hand-to-hand combat, few people have the opportunity to fire seven swords in a row. This probability is too low.
"The People's Army officer's pistol has twenty rounds of ammunition, which is enough.
Taking advantage of the stunned Japanese army, Hou Wanshan quickly retreated. Despite his heroic performance just now, after meeting his teammates, he realized that his back was soaked.
The Japanese army, which had lost its captain, launched a desperate attack, which gave the People's Army's backhand a chance to calmly exert its force. Originally, the People's Army engaged in hand-to-hand combat just to allow the Japanese troops to get closer and gather more. Otherwise, the few bullets would not be able to withstand the consumption of the two sides' attacks.
Now, due to the impact of this unexpected incident, the Japanese army's response has been in line with the military deployment of the 299th Regiment Headquarters, so Hou Wanshan Company and the subsequent Second Company quickly retreated to allow the swarming Japanese troops to squeeze in.

Chapter 903 A lucky break
People’s calculations are not as good as God’s calculations.
Just when Chen Jiliang was lucky enough to be able to escape unharmed because the two sides were far away, something unexpected happened.
The power system of "Haichen" consists of 4 coal-fired boilers and 2 four-cylinder triple-expansion reciprocating steam engines. These are things from the last century, and they are all very old. If the officers and soldiers had not maintained them well, it is hard to say whether China's largest warship could still move.
?? Warships are inevitably made to have some repairs and flaws, big and small, and they are the same in all countries. This repair could be done casually in normal times, but at the critical moment when the Japanese ship was approaching, it would have failed sooner or later, but it happened at this time.
The piston of a steam engine was blocked somehow, causing the "Haichen" that was trying to retreat to slow down. Originally, its speed was much slower than the "Jiujiang" class destroyer. In just a blink of an eye, it distanced itself from the fleet.
Captain Ling Xiao was so anxious that he kept urging the chief engineer to deal with the fault quickly. If the "Hiei" came up to fight it, my small body would be no match for it! The sea is not like land, where there can be miracles of the weak defeating the strong, and there are also changes in terrain. On the vast sea, if the firepower is not strong enough, the armor is not thick enough, and the speed is not fast enough, then there is no choice but to wait for death.
It was the Japanese ship, because the sudden deceleration of the "Haichen" surprised them. Looking at the scattered Chinese destroyers and the speedy "Haichen" ship, Colonel Shitaro Shimada fell into deep thought.
It is not difficult to conclude from the covert battle report of the army guys that the originally weak Chinese army really has considerable combat effectiveness. Although the army and navy have always had a tradition of fighting each other to death, the strength of the 2nd and 6th divisions cannot be gained by bragging. The Chinese army was able to inflict such heavy losses on the Imperial Army in the past, which cannot be explained by luck alone.
Moreover, various reports have also mentioned that the courage of the Chinese soldiers who are not afraid of death is comparable to the spirit of Bushido that they have always boasted. Just a few days ago, the siege of the Chinese army with superior strength and planning happened but failed. He escaped from a deadly fight and turned back with a single blow, severely damaging the vitality of the Locust Army.
The reason why this battle is famous is that the "prisoner killing" incident leaked from the War Department to the country spread.
Maybe the equipment of the Chinese Army is better than that of the Imperial Army, but the Chinese people’s will to not fear death was unanimously recognized by the officers and soldiers participating in the war. Shimada didn't believe that the People's Party's army would be afraid of death if the army was like this.
Therefore, it is natural to worry about the Chinese Navy’s conspiracy.
What he didn’t know was that in the spacious captain’s cabin of the Haichen, destroyer fleet commander Chen Jiliang, navigation mate Sun Yingqi, gunner mate Yang Chaolun and others were all anxiously discussing countermeasures. That damn old coal-fired boiler never breaks down, but it breaks down at this critical moment. This is a fatal thing!
It’s not that you’re afraid of death, it’s that you know it’s unwise to send yourself to death. You must know that Zhang Hanqing treasures the talents of the navy and air force more than the five elite main forces of the army:
From training intensity, equipment investment to strategic development, our Marshal Zhang has done almost everything himself. He can almost be regarded as the founder and master of the navy and air force (to put it bluntly, this is exactly what Zhang Hanqing believes). Except for the head coaches Yang Yuting and Guo Songling, who are from the Army, the other deputies and subordinate senior officers are all from Miaohong's major.
Especially the navy, with the tradition inherited from the Beiyang Navy, the conditions are much better than moving from land to sea to find a new way to build the navy. Now these fleet commanders and the captains and first officers of the "big ships" are all the pillars of the Chinese Navy in the future, so he is reluctant to let them work hard.
"But the situation is already very serious. No matter how ambitious you are, you won't abandon the ship and run away, right?" If that's the case, I'm afraid the young commander doesn't need such a "seed", right? Moreover, since the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, this is the second time that the Chinese navy has encountered an old enemy. Psychologically, the young Chinese navy does not agree to escape; from the perspective of military development, being timid before fighting will not breed good soldiers.
At this time, the "Hai Chen" is less than 200 nautical miles away from the Chinese base in the Changshan Islands. As long as it can sustain it for an hour, it will be within the combat radius of the naval aviation of the Bohai Fleet - it's a pain in the ass. Kilometer radius! Although it is not known whether the seaplanes and land-based bombers of this era can pose a threat to a giant ship like the "Hiei", but at least they can add some pressure to it, right?
Therefore, while Chen Jiliang urgently requested support from the Power Generation Fleet Headquarters, he also sent a semaphore to his destroyers that were beginning to slow down, asking them to spread out to the wings and retreat quickly.
Because it was a semaphore, it was equivalent to a clear code. All of this was seen by Shimada, who was observing carefully through the telescope. He sneered and said: "The Chinese navy wants to lure me in with such a few warships? That's it"Even if there is an abyss ahead, I dare to break into it! "
The "Hiei" ship has strong guns and powerful guns, and the entire fleet on the opposite side has surrounded them. He is confident that he will annihilate them in seconds. However, because of the destruction of the 17th Destroyer Squadron, even though he said this, he was careful not to get too close. His intuition told him that the China Navy must have a conspiracy. The small fleet in front of him was no match for him, but what about the others?
In this era, maritime reconnaissance capabilities are limited. In addition to the sight of telescopes, it is the use of intelligence and reconnaissance aircraft. In the intelligence, the details of the Chinese Navy were found out clearly. The combat capabilities of surface ships are limited, but the 18 submarines must be guarded against. Could it be? Thinking of this, Shimada shivered in excitement: "What a cunning Chinese, deliberately showing weakness and trying to lure our ship into their submarine ambush!"
“He’s frightening himself. On this huge sea, apart from the mountain-like "Hiei", there are ten ant-like small Chinese ships, and not even a shadow of a submarine can be seen. However, isn’t the submarine’s elusive surprise attack tactics a nightmare for giant ships? Must be on guard!
Unconsciously, Shimada has established a powerful opponent for himself. Also, only 14 years have passed since a German submarine sank three British cruisers weighing over 10,000 tons. As a navy, you will not be unfamiliar with this lesson. Although the Chinese navy is weak, if it is really ambushed by its submarines, it will cost huge casualties. This humiliation will never be redeemed.
So the "Hiei" increased its intensity of waiting and watching, and unconsciously made an S-turn. The result was that its speed was significantly weakened.
This also gives the "Haichen" a limited chance of survival. However, due to congenital defects, even if the Japanese ship cannot move forward at full speed, it cannot escape the pursuit of the Japanese ship. Ten minutes later, the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, and they were already within the range of the Japanese ship's main gun.
For this reason, if Shitaro Shimada is still hesitant to fire, then he is not a qualified Japanese naval officer. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 904 Race to die first
The first large-scale naval battle between China and Japan since the Sino-Japanese War began. Unlike the Battle of the Bohai Sea, in which the Japanese squadron was hit hard by shore artillery first, this battle was completely "fair and just" in the eyes of the Japanese army.
It is no exaggeration to describe this battle as shocking the world and making the ghosts and gods cry.
Regardless of the tonnage, caliber and sharpness of the artillery, and the combat experience of the personnel, the Japanese warships have the upper hand. Even in several other important parameters such as speed and armor thickness, the Chinese Navy is far from being an opponent. The outcome of this battle was almost decided from the moment the weapon was fired.
As the captain of the "Haichen", Ling Xiao is a veteran who participated in the Revolution of 1911. The main force of China's three "big" fleets (let's use the word "big") is in the Bohai Fleet, and the main force of the Bohai Fleet is in its own First Destroyer Fleet, and the core leadership of the First Fleet is on its own warships. It has been used for training naval personnel.
There is no other way. Who makes the "Haichen" the only warship that has the opportunity to serve as a flagship even though it is very old? The "Jiujiang" class destroyer is too small in tonnage and has limited space on the ship, so it cannot be used as a fleet headquarters.
Ling Xiao has personally experienced the changes in the Chinese navy, especially the grand plan for a powerful navy set by the young marshal at the high-level meeting of the Central Military Commission, which made him excited. In time, the naval seeds, including himself, will surely witness the great moment of the rise of the Chinese navy after the country becomes strong. However, the top priority now is to retain some seeds for the navy. Their role is far more important than the victory of a naval battle.
After the Japanese ship's main gun roared and fired the first round of fire, Ling Xiao became more determined. The 356mm-caliber naval gun, the shell landed more than a hundred meters away from the ship, and the splash wet his snow-white military uniform. If he really had to hit one shot, all the talents would be wiped out!
As the captain, I have the unshirkable responsibility to protect this ship, but I can't do it no matter what if I also bury the successor that the team at Fleet Headquarters has worked so hard to cultivate. He quietly called the adjutant: "Send a signal to the 'Hanzhong' and ask them to wait for an opportunity to get closer and take Director Chen and others to their ship. No matter what the battlefield situation is, the safety of the headquarters must be maintained!"
"Hanzhong" is the closest destroyer to it. According to the warship naming rules defined by the Marshal, the new "Jiujiang" class destroyers are named after Chinese cities.
These destroyers are fine for fighting in rivers, but they are obviously not good enough on the ocean. With a displacement of 1,200 tons and a four-inch caliber naval gun, it can barely deal with the Japanese destroyers, and it has no choice but to take action when encountering the "Hiei".
It’s not a question of whether you dare or not, but for such a big ship, unless it uses torpedoes, even if you shoot out all the cannonballs on the warship, it will only scratch the itch of "Hiei". Considering the pitiful range of fish and mines in this era, there is probably no chance of getting close.
Its only advantage at this time is that it can run fast, but if this function is used properly, it is still very useful.
According to the tactical requirements of the naval fleet, if such a small-tonnage destroyer encounters a large ship like Japan, it needs to avoid its firepower. Therefore, when the "Haichen" issued the order to withdraw the entire fleet, everyone was mentally prepared. .
But when the "Haichen" gradually fell behind and sailed alone between the enemy and ourselves, several sensitive captains realized that something was wrong. It is understandable that the Japanese were confused. They, the backbone of the fleet, do not know the so-called "tactics", so that should not be the case - because the fleet rarely practices such "outflanking" tactics, and they have not received any instructions. Instructions?
It wasn’t until the "Haichen" sent a semaphore to the "Hanzhong" that the problem became clear: there was something wrong with the flagship!
Several destroyer observation posts that were traveling at high speed also saw the semaphore. After a brief report, they made a large circle and turned their bows. At the same time, they invariably issued a semaphore that even Ling Xiao was baffled: "Resolutely execute the mission!"
Seeing the abnormal changes in the Chinese warships through the telescope further strengthened Shimada’s assumption: “The Chinese really have a conspiracy!”
But the strength is there. Regardless of conspiracy or conspiracy, as long as it does not run into the ambush circle of China Navy submarines, the "Hiei" is not afraid of them at all due to its thick skin and thick flesh. No, after the first round of calibrated firing, the 356mm cannon on the bow roared and fired a second round.
This time it’s even closer. Fortunately, the "Haichen" was still on the edge of the range of the "Hiei" naval gun, and its accuracy was not high.
In the naval battles before and after World War I, the difficulty of hitting an opponent's warship with just a few cannonballs was similar to the probability of winning the lottery in later generations. This is one of the reasons why countries vigorously develop battleships and cruisers with dozens of cannons. If a single shot is not enough, then add more cannons, so that the ships of that era are full of cannons, becoming a veritable "steel behemoth" at sea.
Although the accuracy is insufficient, it cannot hold the shell muzzleChen Jiliang also resolutely opened his heart to the idea of ??abandoning factionalism in order to preserve the fire of the navy. He smiled and said: "The naval battle has not yet been decided, how can I leave? I am the director of the Naval Political Department. If even I run away from the enemy, will I dare to teach officers and soldiers to be brave in killing the enemy in the future?"
He smiled and gently stopped Ling Xiao from saying anything, and said calmly: "Young Marshal and Haisi have been discussing the future development of the navy. Although we are weaker than the Japanese army, if we experience an actual battle, perhaps It can be of some benefit—I guess after the Korean War, it will be time for our navy to feel proud! Haha!"
This is true. If Japan is driven out by China on land and no longer has the opportunity to threaten China's territory, in accordance with Zhang Hanqing's army building principle of giving priority to sea and air, and with China's economic and industrial capabilities, the great development of the navy is just around the corner.
It’s just that he deliberately did not mention it, perhaps deliberately ignoring the fact that whether he or they would have the opportunity to see it. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 907 Critical Moment
With such a boss, comrade-in-arms and comrade, what else can Ling Xiao say? He solemnly performed a military salute, and then said loudly: "The Japanese ship is approaching. I will command all the officers and soldiers on the ship to fight to the death with it. I also hope that the director will properly preserve his useful body so that our blood will not be shed in vain!"
Chen Jiliang knew that this was the moment of narrow escape, so he solemnly returned the salute and said in a deep voice: "Let us work together to revitalize the Chinese Navy!"
Along with the rumble of gunfire, the naval guns on the "Haichen" began to fire back. Although the caliber of the cannon is far inferior to that of the "Hiei", and although the warship's performance is already old, if the 150mm shells of the main gun can hit the opponent's engine room, ammunition storage and other important parts, it can still cause heavy damage to it, but this opportunity is too great. Slim.
"Haichen" is like Don Quixote, standing directly in front of the "Hiei" without knowing what it can do, waiting for the "Hiei" to destroy it.
Considering the distance between the two sides and the accuracy of the shooting range in this era, a direct hit usually only occurs when the character explodes. However, as the two sides got closer, the Japanese naval gunners' well-trained advantages began to emerge.
The accuracy of the Japanese naval gunnery was recognized around the world before World War II. This is the result of long-term and uninterrupted high-intensity training. By the mid-1930s, the hit rate at a common artillery battle distance of 20 kilometers was 12%. During the same period, the hit rate of British and American battleships was about 4%.
But at the same time, it is also the negative impact of its superstitious "gunnery decisive battle" old thinking, which made it lose the opportunity to take the lead in entering the era of naval aviation. Therefore, everything has pros and cons.
But at this time and here, its excellent gunnery capabilities made the "Haichen" begin to suffer. After wasting no less than dozens of shells, the "Haichen"'s good luck had run out. A 356mm shell hit the stern of the ship, penetrating a large hole about three meters wide, and dislodged a gun placed at the tail. The 150mm main gun exploded into the sky.
Yang Chaolun, the gunnery mate who was commanding the main gun at the rear, was seriously injured on the spot. More than a dozen people holding the gun position were either dead or injured. Shrapnel, fire and gunpowder smoke accompanied the painful struggle. This gun severely damaged the "Haichen". Fortunately, the direction of the shell is biased towards the relatively thick gun mount. Otherwise, if it hits the relatively thin hull, the "Haichen" will be penetrated on the spot.
One of the only three main guns that could pose a certain threat to Japanese ships was lost shortly after the battle, and it was also an important tail gun. In order to prevent the "Haichen" from being continuously hit and unable to fight back, it had to turn around. Use the two main guns on the left and right wings of the bow to exchange fire with the Japanese. As a result, the "Haichen", which originally wanted to break away from the battle, could not take another half step towards the base, and it would really be a decisive battle with the Japanese ship!
Navigation mate Sun Yingqi made a temporary guest appearance as cannon commander. He believed that the ship could not turn around, even though using the main gun would make the warship's situation a little better - it could only be a little better. It's like a strong man fighting a child who is able to throw two punches instead of just one while being punched hard.
Your two punches may cause some pain to the opponent, but one punch from the opponent can make you fall down.
Sun Yingqi, who has rich experience, decided to tilt the warship 30 degrees and move forward in a roundabout way. Although he could only use one side of the main gun and the stringer gun, it was better than being completely passively beaten. And it also has the advantage that although it is a little slower, it is moving towards the Chinese base. Every step forward can allow China's possible response forces to discover itself earlier and provide relief to itself.
The Japanese army seemed to have divine help. After the main gun hit one shot, three more shells exploded on the "Haichen" one after another. Fortunately, these three guns were all hit by its single-mounted 152mm secondary gun. Although some facilities and personnel on the deck and side strings were damaged, its power was far from its 356mm main gun, and it was not damaged. Fortunately, the only power of the "Haichen" was not damaged.
The crisis of the "Haichen" was clearly seen by the destroyers on both sides, especially the "Hanzhong" which was ordered to "connect" to the fleet headquarters. Should we take the risk of letting the flagship continue to be hit, risk our lives to pick up the people on board, or should we find ways to divert the opponent's attack target? "Hanzhong" decisively chose the latter.
Captain Tang Xinyu ordered the warship to approach the "Hiei" at full speed while raising a flag to ask friendly ships to rescue the flagship.
Making such a decision is also a last resort. The "Hiei", which is very close to the "Haichen", is already within visual range. This kind of range is what the Japanese army is good at. Even if it rescues itself, there is no guarantee that it can safely serve as the new flagship. Because the Japanese ship's cannons were too sharp, according to the Japanese army's calibrated firing, the "Haichen" was completely within the coverage of the Japanese army's artillery.
As long as it is not hit again by its 356mm main gun, it still has the ability to withstand the attack of the 152mm naval gun. Unlike me, as long as I was hit by such a shot, I would definitely suffer a lot of damage. This risk is really not worth taking.
There is only one way, ?This is to take advantage of the small and fast speed of one's own ship to launch a torpedo attack on the "Hiei" at close range in order to approach it and avoid it, that is, to implement the strategy of "encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao".
This method is also very risky, because the only weapons that can threaten battleships or armored cruisers for "Jiujiang" class destroyers or larger destroyers are torpedoes, and the range of longer torpedoes in this era is only 8 nautical miles.
Now, the closest to the "Hiei" is the destroyer "Hanzhong", which is about 20 nautical miles away. If full power is added, at its maximum speed of 35 knots, it will take 20 minutes for the ship-borne torpedo to effectively threaten the "Hiei". That means that the "Hanzhong" must survive these fatal 20 minutes, and even if it successfully launches torpedoes, it may not be successful.
But even so, given the situation, we have no choice but to fight. As long as the "Hiei" is successfully contained, even if a destroyer like itself is sacrificed to give the "Haichen" a chance to escape, everything will be worth it. It is self-evident that a warship and a flagship loaded with the essence of the Chinese navy are more important.
Tang Xinyu and Chen Jiliang were both graduates of the 4th class of Jiangnan Naval Academy’s driving class. They both served as captains at almost the same time. However, Chen Jiliang was famous in his early years and favored by the marshal, so he rose to the top. Tang Xinyu should have had the opportunity to be promoted, but the navy structure was too small and strictly followed the promotion principle of one carrot and one pit, so he was unable to move to the next level.
Although his official career is not smooth, his professional ability is not guaranteed. The roaring "Hanzhong" spewed out billowing smoke and accelerated towards the "Hiei". This small-sized destroyer that inherited the American shipbuilding ideas finally had a place to be used in the Yellow Sea. Among the Chinese and Japanese warships The shuttle between them seemed particularly abrupt.
Both warring parties noticed such a warship. After reading the battle strategy of the "Hanzhong" from the semaphore, the destroyer "Yantai" on the other side also understood it and rushed towards the "Hiei" in unison.
They want to use this method to create an escape opportunity for the "Haichen". (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 906 Yellow Sea Gunsmoke
??
During this time, the "Hiei" had already fired two more rounds at the "Haichen".
The tall mast of the "Haichen" was broken first, but fortunately, the main gun of the "Hiei" never hit it again after its short-lived appearance. Is this considered lucky? The Japanese ship fired more than a hundred rounds of artillery shells, but in the end it did not reach the side of the "Haichen". Instead, its secondary guns hit three times, but none of them damaged the vital points. The interruption of the mast was considered the best result of the battle. .
It is not surprising that both battleships and heavy cruisers are contradictory weapons: in order to destroy the enemy beyond the range, every battleship pursues ultra-long range, so the caliber is getting larger and larger; and the results of all previous naval battles have proved that in Heavy artillery at long range almost only wastes shells.
??—Because at a distance of 10,000 meters, it takes a minute for the artillery shell to fly to reach the target, and the opponent can move one kilometer in this minute. No matter how good the artillery skills are, it is difficult to guarantee a hit.
This is why Zhang Hanqing, a latecomer, strongly denies that the Chinese navy will follow the lead of big guns and ships, but instead finds a new way to find a new path of integrated sea and air warfare, so as to achieve a leap in naval development, or what is called transcendent development.
It’s just that his idea is a bit ahead of his time.
Because of the previous make-up courses for naval development, the Chinese and Japanese navies were passively beaten in direct confrontation: the naval aviation force has not yet been established on a large scale, and there is no corresponding safety, outline and training for participating in naval battles. This set of theories currently Just stay on paper. The prototype of joint sea and air operations is far from being established, so China's shortcomings of small tonnage and blunt firepower are undoubtedly exposed.
“However, the young Chinese Navy still carries forward its determination to live together with the country. At the pre-war mobilization meeting, the Political Department explained the strategic significance of ensuring victory on the Korean battlefield at all levels. Watching the Army regain lost ground and promote our country's prestige, the Navy officers and soldiers were greatly motivated to fight.
Moreover, in this sea area, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1899 took place, which plunged China into a deeper abyss. It was the blood, tears and humiliation of countless naval officers and soldiers. From then on, the label of "Sick Man of East Asia" was firmly worn on the heads of the Chinese people, and the Chinese people were reduced to second-class status. Waiting for nationals.
Therefore, it is easy to understand the actions of the "Hanzhong" and "Yantai" that look like suicide attacks by mantises. Thirty years ago, Deng Shichang was able to lead his ships towards enemy ships. Now that the country has given the navy so many policy inclinations, it may not be possible to win this naval battle for a while, but the Japanese must understand the will of the Chinese navy!
The closer distance allows the "Hiei" to deal with the "Haichen" more accurately, and the "Haichen" has been riddled with holes. Although there were no serious injuries, if it continued to be bombarded like this, it would be a matter of time before it sank to the bottom of the sea.
Just as the "Hiei" followed the turn of the guns and wanted to win the duel in one go, two small black dots sailed into the lookout mirror. Something incredible happened!
Although Shimada shook his head, he was still in awe of the bravery of Chinese soldiers. These are two destroyers of over a thousand tons. According to their tonnage, the "Hiei" can be attacked by them. As long as they don't launch torpedoes, there is nothing they can do.
Since entering the era of Dreadnought-class battleships, there are roughly three ways to sink a battleship in a head-on confrontation: hitting and penetrating waterline armor - this is the lifeblood of all warships; using large-caliber naval guns to hit below the waterline; Hit the ammunition depot and explode.
The latter two almost depend on luck, while the former is usually caused by its biggest enemy-torpedoes. For destroyers, this is the only magic weapon that can compete with large warships, although various maritime powers do not "recommend" using destroyers to fight heavy cruisers or even battleships.
However, it would be quite dangerous if these two little things get close to each other. Even though a battleship or heavy cruiser looks majestic, it is very fragile below the waterline, especially when faced with torpedoes.
From a physical perspective, water is a liquid and incompressible, while air is a gas and can be compressed. Therefore, when artillery shells or later missiles hit the hull of a warship and exploded, the surrounding air would be compressed to act as a buffer.
Water is incompressible, and all the energy from the explosion of the torpedo warhead acts on the outer shell of the warship or submarine through the water. This also determines that even if explosives with the same explosive equivalent are installed, the power of the torpedo is Larger than missiles.
An anti-ship missile with a charge of 180 kilograms hitting the target will make a warship of about 3,000 tons lose its combat effectiveness, while a 533mm torpedo with the same charge of 180 kilograms hitting the hull is enough to sink a 50,000-ton ship.
The distance of 12 nautical miles was just around the corner. Shimada did not dare to neglect. He commanded various secondary guns on the ship to start shooting at the destroyer. The power of the 16 single-mounted 152mm naval guns as secondary guns was equally astonishing. The spray caused by the shells rolled around the destroyer, and dropped a dense rain of bullets on the sea surface for more than ten nautical miles.
? ?It took ten minutes, but relying on the high speed of the "Hiei", it still quickly caught up with the "Haichen", and at the same time, its main naval gun poured out shells with all its strength.
At this distance, Chinese warships can do nothing to it, but it can fire at China calmly. This huge gap makes everyone in the First Fleet angry, but what's the use?
People have been walking for decades, and China is still at the level after the Sino -Japanese War of the Sino -Japanese War. Over the past decades, except for the extremely shabby 18 "Jiujiang" class destroyers and 45 "Hankou" class gunboats ordered by Zhang Hanqing, China has not added a single decent warship of a certain tonnage.
So on the Yellow Sea, after more than 30 years of Sino-Japanese War naval battles, that tragic page reappeared: Under constant attacks from Japanese ships, the "Haichen" suffered several heavy artillery rounds in succession, and the deck also burned. Thick smoke billowed out. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 907 Firing Line
(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 908 Close
The Yellow Sea is named after the yellow water at the mouth of the Yellow River. This shallow sea, which is closely related to the birthplace of Chinese civilization, has now become a barrier to the continuation of Chinese civilization. As long as the Chinese navy is not eliminated, the Japanese army will not be able to march toward the Bohai Sea, the heart of China.
Because the other entrance and exit channel is the Miaodao Islands, which is too close to the Shandong mainland and is a paradise for land artillery. The current People's Army Army is not the same as before. Even if it is as powerful as the Japanese Navy, it does not dare to carry out landing operations.
Seeing that the Chinese fleet had avoided the triangular sea area behind Haiyang Island and Zhangzi Island, Admiral Naozhen Taniguchi ordered the two ships "King Kong" and "Hiei" to challenge the enemy. If no one responded, he would use powerful naval guns to attack Haiyang Island. Untargeted shooting.
It is said that there is no target, because the Ocean Island is composed of more than 20 peaks with an altitude of more than 200 meters, surrounding them to form a 12-kilometer horseshoe-shaped harbor. It blocks the wind from all sides and blocks the view of ships outside the island.
With a few provocative cannon blasts, the ocean island was as silent as dust. The Japanese ships wanted to advance, but were afraid of running aground. Who made them bigger? Isn’t it okay to bombard rocks all the time? The barrels of cannons have a lifespan. Every time a shell is wasted, the service life is reduced. This is not allowed by the Japanese family.
With no choice, the "King Kong" and the "Hiei" began to patrol clockwise and counterclockwise around the ocean island, not only to observe the enemy's situation, but also to find possible landing sites for their own marines. Think about how stupid the Kwantung Army was. They stayed in such an important place for more than 20 years and didn't even explore it? Even building a stronghold here would be great!
It’s not that the Kwantung Army is stupid, it’s that they are too proud and confident. Old China basically had no navy, and the army had a larger territory to conquer. Who cares about such a small island? What's more, Dalian and Port Arthur, which are more important than it, are ready-made military ports, so there is no need to worry about this small island that cannot station large warships.
This also led to the Japanese navy basically being blind to this area. Fortunately, the ocean island is not big, so the Japanese warship had a rough idea of ??the situation here after quickly circling around. Now that the Chinese military has given up control of this important area, it is up to the Imperial Japanese Navy to conquer the Bohai Sea.
The transport ship "Nihon Maru" carried 300 Marine Corps officers and soldiers to the west of Ocean Island. After investigation, it was found that the port faces west and is about 5 meters wide. There is only one waterway on the island. Despite the rough waves, the harbor is still as level as a mirror, so the fishermen here call it "Taiping Bay", intending to use a good name to seek good omens.
But only God knows whether you can achieve good results by relying on good words.
"The Nippon Maru" weighs two thousand tons. Although it is much smaller than most other warships in the Japanese fleet, it is still much larger than Chinese destroyers. Why can it go into shallow water? Because it is a transport ship.
Unlike combat warships, transport ships generally have very wide bases in order to increase transport capacity. Unlike far-water naval vessels, which are relatively slender and have deep drafts in order to withstand wind and waves and increase speed. It was originally a civilian ship that was temporarily requisitioned and refitted, but it still has a bloated shape with a big face and a thick neck.
On the ocean, transport ships and landing ships are similar to infantry on land, responsible for seizing the fruits of victory (landing) under the cover of artillery fire (mainly naval guns), especially when traveling from sea to land. While the Chinese Navy has not yet achieved full coverage of its shallow-water navy, the Japanese Navy has already achieved ocean-going attack capabilities and is a completely blue-water navy.
In the ocean, face to face, the weak Chinese navy is not its only enemy. But in this complicated sea area, in front of the navy with its convenient location, the strength of the ship and the power of artillery are not indestructible.
The fact that its armored cruisers cannot be shaken and cannot be reached does not mean that the Chinese navy has no place to use it. No, the arrival of the "Nihon Maru" has given the Chinese shore artillery unit another opportunity to shine.
Although generally speaking, naval guns and shore guns are at a disadvantage when fighting against each other, but because the Japanese navy is too powerful to withstand it, the firepower of one "King Kong" class is enough to match a fully equipped heavy artillery battalion. There is no way, it The firepower is too fierce.
And the shore artillery also has a major shortcoming: difficulty in movement. Especially on ocean islands, the roads are rugged, and the towing vehicle leaves after finally putting the cannons in place to avoid damaging the fish. Therefore, these cannons will not be able to leave for a while and the Japanese ships can completely avoid this firepower Bunker, just stay out of its artillery attack radius.
Relying on their long range, they can carry out bullying strikes beyond the range of China's shore artillery.
But this is also what the Chinese Navy envisions. The shore artillery has already taken preliminary defensive measures. It is hidden in the mountains and at the mouth of valleys. It can sustain several rounds of shelling and can continue to attack.In the case of naval aircraft, it is impossible for the Japanese to have such important information without their own eyes and ears. Although they believed that using cheap aircraft to counter heavy armored cannons was an ideal, it also stimulated the Japanese navy and made them take another step in the right direction.
This step was given by Zhang Hanqing. If the Chinese method turns out to be correct, Japan will undoubtedly learn something from it.
At this time, Japan’s aircraft carrier combat theory still focused on using carrier-based aircraft to bomb land targets. As for using the opponent’s warships as imaginary enemies? No, Chinese warships are too weak, while Britain and the United States are undoubtedly strong.
Therefore, the "Chicheng" just continuously took off several reconnaissance planes to patrol the vast Yellow Sea, and also firmly grasped the direction of the First Destroyer Fleet. The reconnaissance of the ocean island was just an accident. But it was this accident that opened a new chapter in naval warfare. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 909 A tough nut to crack
Limited to the communication capabilities of this era, the reconnaissance aircraft taking off from the "Chicheng" discovered the People's Army's shore artillery, but it was a lot of trouble to quickly notify our own troop carriers.
Since radio was officially placed on aircraft ten years ago, human communication capabilities have officially entered the three dimensions of sea, land and air. However, the communication at this time is still one-way, that is, the personnel on the aircraft can send information back to its mother ship "Chicheng" in the form of radio waves. If you want to directly notify the friendly ships, you need to communicate with the "Chicheng" The communication took a lot of time.
Of course, Li Debiao's shore artillery battalion was not equipped with anti-aircraft firepower, so he could only watch the reconnaissance planes hovering above his head and boldly detect them, but there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, there was a difference in the communication time of the Japanese army. During this time difference, the Chinese artillery fired.
After a row of gunpowder smoke, more than ten shells landed around the Japanese transport ship. Unlike naval guns, which are very easy to lose their accuracy due to the bumps of warships, shore guns sitting on flat ground are relatively more accurate, but they are still not ideal for undulating targets. Not to mention that every shot was a hundred hits, even if I shot ten shots, well, I didn’t hit even one.
But this still surprised the Japanese troops on the "Nihon Maru". Relatively speaking, land artillery will inevitably face a large-scale salvo after the calibration. If the artillery shells fall all over the sky, there will always be a few unfortunate ones that will hit.
They called for help urgently and tried to turn around and leave. Judging from the noise just now, there is at least one artillery battery of the Chinese Army. As long as there is such an artillery battery, the landing will be a one-sided massacre. They need Japanese ships to provide fire support first.
Although the range is slightly lower and the caliber of the cannon is smaller, the shore artillery has another advantage, which is its high rate of fire. At such a close range, the advantages of heavy artillery are fully demonstrated. So before the Japanese ship could react, the second salvo started again.
This time the "Nihon Maru" was not so lucky.
The People's Army artillery is an arm that Zhang Hanqing focuses on developing. After overwhelmingly surpassing the Japanese Army in terms of numbers, the artillery command mechanism and training have also been improved to a considerable extent. After adjusting various parameters, the first shot that hit the target quickly reported the parameters to the other gun positions, causing subsequent hits like raindrops.
The 155mm caliber cannon is enough to penetrate the thickest armored battleship in the world at close range, let alone a transport ship with far inferior armor? After taking dozens of shots, the "Nihon Maru" was riddled with holes, a cloud of smoke and fire.
The "Kongo" and "Hiei" in the distance watched in stunned silence as the "Nihon Maru" tilted precariously after being shot, and the figures of the officers and soldiers jumping in the firelight were deeply imprinted on the hearts of many soldiers who were on the battlefield for the first time. heart.
Due to the draft, the two large ships are far away from it, and the naval gun support cannot be enough. The accompanying destroyers were too late to dodge these deadly shells. They were all escaping from the barrage at high speed. How could there be time to rescue friendly ships?
The scene where the "Hanzhong" destroyer was beaten by the "Hiei" just after being sunk was immediately reported: Even if the Japanese destroyer wanted to save it, it did not dare to get into the hail of bullets and serve as a target for the shore artillery. Of course, as a gesture, the two Japanese destroyers responded with naval guns after taking a breather, but their firepower was too weak after all.
Ten minutes after the "Nihon Maru" and its five hundred samurai were swallowed by the waves, the Japanese navy carried out crazy retaliation. They used naval guns of various sizes and calibers to shoot at the ocean island in all directions.
Since Ocean Island is surrounded by mountains, the naval guns are aimed directly, similar to cannons, so most of this round of attacks landed on the cliffs. Because the shore artillery relies on fortifications, unless the Japanese military personnel explode, it will be more difficult to hit them than to reach the sky.
??This time and space is not like that of later generations where there are ground-penetrating bombs and precision-guided bombs. It is still not a big threat to the Chinese artillery building fortifications from the mountainside. On the contrary, the Chinese shore artillery took the opportunity to show off its power, preventing the Japanese destroyers from getting out of the way.
Permanent fortifications are inherently difficult to deal with, and this was especially true during World War I. Even after World War II, the German Army, which had stronger firepower and air superiority, still had to bypass the Maginot Line. First, it was the need for blitzkrieg, but was it also a strategy to avoid a solid defense line?
Also during World War II, without the later Battle of Liuhuang Island, the U.S. military, despite occupying all the time and fully controlling the air and sea, still defeated the geographically advantaged Japanese army at a heavy cost. This was also because the Japanese army completely lost supply of logistics and It was completed after running out of ammunition and food.
The situation inside the oceanic islands is currently unknown, and Dalian is only a corner away. It is not easy to completely cut off the Chinese military's logistical supplies in such a complex group of islands and reefs.
In the face of a solid artillery position, using naval guns to attack frontally is the next best option. Think back to the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1898, when the remnants of China's Beiyang Navy relied on forts to fight back, and the Japanese naval attack threatened them.It still took a lot of effort for the fort, and finally it was defeated by the Marines who took a roundabout way and landed from behind the land.
Therefore, there are two ways before the Japanese navy. One is to wait for an opportunity to invade the island and seize China's shore artillery positions with close combat; the other is to give up the attack and choose to head towards the Bohai Bay from the Miaodao Islands.
However, judging from the defensive situation of the Changdao Islands where Haiyang Island is located, there is no reason why the Chinese military should not be deployed similarly in the more important Miaodao Islands, because it is bordered by the Shandong Peninsula to the west, the Liaodong Peninsula to the east, and the Beijing-Tianjin metropolitan area to the north. 's top priority.
Things have come around again, and the Japanese Fleet Command has set its sights on Haiyang Island again. According to previous records, the only waterway that can enter the island is located in the west. In such a narrow waterway, let alone the huge Japanese fleet, even China's already pitifully small destroyers also look bloated. It is estimated that only after high tide, Can the "Hankou" class gunboat enter with guidance?
The bay has deep blue water and is a good haven for ships and fishing boats. Small transport ships of the Chinese Navy can come and go easily. If you want to get in here, a light and compact torpedo boat is a good idea, but you are faced with an unfavorable situation: if you want to enter the port, you must capture a key point to close the mouth.
The so-called closed mouth is actually a stone pillar more than 5 meters high on the south side of the port. It stands upright in the waves, like a giant brown rabbit squatting at the mouth of the waterway, guarding the passage of every ship and resisting the impact of every wave. Once the iron gate is closed, no one can open it, and it is blocked by the local people. Fishermen call it a closed mouth. To the north outside Guanmenzui is Beitao, and to the south are Matigou and Nanyang, both of which are good anchorages for shelter from the wind.
No matter how good these places are, they are all within the shooting range of the People's Army shore artillery. As long as a cannon is mounted on the top of the mountain, almost no one dares to risk the risk of shipwreck and death. Because even if you break through the artillery net, there is still a Marine Corps brigade waiting for you. That is the most capable elite unit of the Chinese Navy!
The Japanese army tried to organize an attack. Because I didn't expect that there would be a battle to land on the island, and I didn't expect that small warships would be used. They took off sampans from various destroyers, carried some soldiers, and headed for Shunzui under the cover of fierce naval gunfire. To this end, the Japanese fleet did not hesitate to dump dozens of tons of ammunition in an attempt to suppress the opponent's firepower in one fell swoop.
However, the new round of attacks only played the role of a stone crusher. Many stones on the top and mountainside of Ocean Island were blown into pieces, which virtually reduced a lot of trouble for the construction of the island later. The damage to the coastal defense artillery was extremely limited, only a few Two officers and soldiers were hit by the bounced stones and debris. Exposing was meaningless, so Li Debiao ordered the firepower to be concealed to paralyze the enemy.
The Japanese small "fleet" responsible for seizing the island thought that the island had been hit hard, so they sailed towards the ocean island with confidence.
" Attacking halfway across the river has always been a tried and true trick, and this is also true in naval battles. After all the Japanese landing fleet entered the shooting range of the shore artillery, Li Debiao said happily: "There is no need to rush to fight, let them get closer, so that we can not only aim accurately, but also inflict heavy damage on them!"
After years of training, he has become an excellent gunnery expert and behaves more steadily. With an entire marine brigade on the island, he was confident. Even if the shore artillery was let go, it is certain that the Japanese army would not be able to reach the island.
No matter how fast a small boat is, it can never be faster than a cannon. Wait until the Japanese small boat group penetrates deep into the surrounding area of ??the ocean island before starting the fight. The artillery can fire for longer, and maybe they can all be annihilated! Damn it, he planned to annihilate them all!
But he really has this strength: not to mention the heavy artillery battalion, the artillery battalion equipped by the Marine Brigade alone is very useful in dealing with small boats. In this era, there were no heavy weapons such as amphibious tanks, and oceanic islands were not suitable for large landing ships. If light infantry faced off against heavily armed Marines, it would be a suicide.
So it was natural that soon, the Japanese soldiers in the small boats were tortured to the point of finding teeth all over the place. In the gap between the shells, countless small boats were struggling, or flying sideways in the shrapnel, or being overturned by the waves caused by the explosion. That feeling of powerlessness cannot be experienced by those on the outside.
??The Chinese artillery may conduct a platoon blockade in a group, or fire a single gun in bursts, or fire in bursts to increase the density of fire. Small sampans have become the best targets for Chinese artillery training. A few ships saw that the situation was not good and wanted to turn back, but it was easy to come and difficult to go. The ten nautical miles journey took dozens of minutes for them, but for the Chinese artillery, it was just an action of raising the muzzle.
General Taniguchi Naozhen was extremely angry. The powerful Imperial Navy suffered such a loss of troops. Even a small island belonging to the Chinese was helpless. The news spread. I am afraid that those mud-legged armies finally found an excuse for their recent defeat, right? ——Our army has lost the battle. Your navy has spent so much money, but isn't it also unable to do anything about the weaker China Navy?
In this regard, Yamamoto Isoroku sent a telegram: "Your Excellency, Commander, Ocean Island is not a suitable place for our giant ships to fight. China's artillery positions are all built among the mountains and rocks, and they are covered by mountains and rocks. It will be very difficult to defeat them. I am willing to Use carrier-based aviation to carry out air strikes against them, so that their frontal defenses will be useless against my air assault." (Remember this site's URL: www.hlnovel.com)The sixth telegram requested: "Your Excellency, Commander, Ocean Island is not a suitable place for our giant ships to engage in battle. The Chinese artillery positions are all built among the mountains and rocks, and they are hidden by mountains and rocks. It will not be easy to defeat them. I am willing to use the carrier-based aviation force to I will use all my strength to launch an air strike against them, so that their frontal defense line will be useless against my air assault." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 910 Invincible Place
When the naval guns were ineffective and the assault on the ocean island failed, Taniguchi Naozhen agreed with Yamamoto's suggestion. With permission, Colonel Yamamoto Isoroku also commanded the carrier-based aircraft on the "Akagi" to begin fire penetration from the air.
The aircraft of this era were still made of wooden skins and had many characteristics such as slow speed, short range, weak attack power, and leaving nothing behind after takeoff. China's aircraft were the focus of investment, so although it started late, it was roughly on the same level as the Japanese army. On the starting line.
The Japanese carrier-based aircraft are inferior to their land-based aircraft. Those used for bombing will carry a bomb, and those used for interception will have a machine gun attached to the tail. Of course, the accuracy is greatly reduced. .
There has never been a precedent for large-scale carrier-based aircraft dispatching for combat, and the Japanese army has no experience in this area. Of course, daily training is not discussed. However, the appearance of a large group taking off is also spectacular, showing Japan's position on the ocean in this era.
According to the establishment of the Marine Corps in 1927, only those at the division level would be equipped with air defense units, and there was no such thing at the brigade level. At this time, the Marine Corps was only an army that could launch water, and the concept of air defense had not yet risen to a corresponding status.
It’s not that Zhang Hanqing didn’t do his best, but when military construction just started, the threat from the air was far less than the threat from the ground. How could he be willing to spend the already insufficient military expenditure to develop a relatively advanced air defense force? Being one step ahead is genius, being too much ahead is a waste.
But just because it’s not armed doesn’t mean it doesn’t have plans for threats from the air. Officers and soldiers have been educated that if they find an aerial threat, they can use machine guns or rifles to shoot into the air, provided that people do not stay in open areas.
The air threat is not big against non-fixed targets, such as people, and is more of a psychological effect, just like when the Fengtian Air Force bombed Beijing, it relied on luck. Of course, being hit by large-scale bombing is an exception.
Fifteen planes took off one after another, and in a blink of an eye they were over the ocean island. It's just that the surroundings are densely covered with short grass. There are more than a dozen boats of various sizes leaning on the anchorage in the center of the island, and there is no one everywhere.
A few planes still found the target, which was under a temporary bunker made of large rocks on the mountainside. Occasionally, a huge muzzle protruded from it, letting them know that this was not an empty city. However, they also have no good way to deal with the artillery formations composed of these caves or boulders.
As a last resort, the Japanese pilots dropped some bombs. One is to test, and the other is that it is not safe to bring these bombs on board the ship. After the explosion, as the smoke was blown by the sea breeze, everything returned to its original state.
In this way, after the first, second, and third wave of Japanese aircraft patrolled the island one after another, the combined fleet launched a new attack. They sent several destroyers to approach the island in order to wait for an opportunity to find a piece of land. A suitable landing point.
Despite receiving a new round of bombing, the Japanese ships who did not know the details were carefully cruising at the edge of the maximum range of the shore artillery. Once the shore artillery made any movement, they could escape as quickly as possible.
But there was no movement on Haiyang Island.
Ten minutes, or half an hour? Anyway, after a while, the Japanese reconnaissance plane reported that there was no sign of the Chinese moving around. Maybe, they have been hit hard?
The headquarters decided to give it a try. So the Japanese destroyer once again sailed towards the ocean island at high speed, but it was not a straight line, but a gradual spiral. Maintaining high speed is just a matter of maneuvering to change tracks in case of emergencies.
As they approached, they fired naval guns at suspicious places, but in the end they did not resist.
I don’t know how much time passed, but it was less than three miles away from Haiyang Island, and the People’s Army’s shore artillery fired again.
Needless to say, almost all the destroyers that were caught in the range of the shore artillery were hit. Two of them were relatively lucky. The main part was blocked by a destroyer. They only suffered flesh wounds and quickly slipped away.
The "Brave Shield" was not so lucky. Two shells penetrated its vital points: one under the chimney and one in the ammunition magazine.
The violent explosions that sounded almost simultaneously almost shattered the eardrums of the artillerymen hiding in the caves on the seaside. Even the 155mm heavy artillery they fired was not that loud, right?
The explosion caused the destroyer to be almost cut off from the waist. After jumping at least one meter high out of the sea, its bow also broke again with a roar. Breaking into three parts also allowed it to sink very easily. In less than three minutes, only its remaining mast could be seen on the sea.
The third attack after the air raid still ended in failure, and General Taniguchi lost his temper. In a duel at sea, the Japanese ships can show off their power, but in this crappy place, the power of their giant ships and cannons cannot be used.
So even though we know that China’s Bohai Fleet hasThe Japanese destroyer fleet was hiding on the sea to the north of Haiyang Island. They looked at Haiyang Island, thought about Zhangzi Island to the west, and decided to give up on this hard nut.
It’s not that it’s impossible to beat, it’s just that it’s not worth it. For such a small island, does the entire fleet have to be wasted here? That’s a total displacement of hundreds of thousands of tons! It is true that Haiyang Island and Changdao Islands are important, but if the main fleet is wasted here, then it will be the trick of the Chinese people, right? The youth in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai are their key!
So the Japanese ship was ordered to fire dozens of demonstrative shells at the island and then turned around and left. They wanted to open a bloody road from the Miaodao Islands straight into the Bohai Bay. Ocean Island, let it exist tepidly. Anyway, after experiencing this battle, the China Navy must have seen a huge gap. This gap cannot be changed by bravery!
The Japanese ship slowly left, and Li Debiao, who had eaten a mouthful of dust, exhaled a filthy breath: "Damn it, the Japanese planes are still powerful!"
Although the artillery shells fired from the cruisers and battleships of the Combined Fleet were extremely loud, they caused very little damage. On the contrary, the bombs dropped from the sky by a few inconspicuous aircraft injured many people and damaged several guns. gun.
Although there is no aiming device, the relative accuracy is still very high because of the slow flying speed. Moreover, as long as it is not diving, ground weapons have no effect on the aircraft. This makes the Japanese aircraft confident and can slowly find the target. The most hateful thing is that the ocean island is too small and lacks depth. Basically, you can get a bird's eye view of it as soon as the plane takes off.
Although the People's Army artillery can hide in bunkers, how can we fight this battle if they come one after another like this?
Therefore, when summing up after the battle, Li Debiao decisively ranked the air threat as top priority. Because of his status in the mind of the old commander, his opinions were taken seriously, reported all the way to the Navy Headquarters, and finally placed on Zhang Hanqing's desk. His description made Zhang Hanqing realize that it is imperative to strengthen air power and build up air defense power.
War has risen from two-dimensional to three-dimensional warfare! Based on the principle of being one step ahead and having enough, Zhang Hanqing began to consider a new round of military establishment issues after the war. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 911 Breaking the Cauldron
The combined fleet was in vain on Ocean Island, and Taniguchi Naozhen, who was holding back his anger, decided to enter the Bohai Bay directly from the Laotieshan Waterway.
As a precaution against possible pincer attacks from Dalian and Penglai, he ordered the battleships "Ise" and "Fuso" to suppress the Dalian waters, and the heavy cruisers "Hiei" and "King Kong" to deploy defenses at the center line of the Bohai Strait. Cover the Third Fleet with the "Izumo" armored cruiser as its flagship and a large number of light cruisers and destroyers heading into the bay.
The Laotieshan Waterway is the passage in and out of the Bohai Bay. The straight-line distance from Dalian to Penglai is 122 kilometers. Such a long distance is beyond the range of Chinese artillery. Even if we count the artillery on Beihuangcheng Island, which is closest to the waterway, it is still more than 40 kilometers away from the southern entrance of Dalian. This distance is still beyond the reach of China's artillery force.
The maximum range is 22 kilometers! If the Chinese shore artillery units had not lured the enemy deeper into the oceanic islands, they would have only allowed the Japanese ships to launch long-range bombardments beyond their 22-kilometer range.
This is something the Japanese army felt they could take advantage of. After understanding the advantages and disadvantages of shore guns on ocean islands, they believed that they could abandon shore guns and use warships. Drive directly to the cities of Tianjin, Qinhuangdao, and Yingkou, and see if your fleet can still be a tortoise! And as long as the Chinese warships cannot help but come out to challenge, it will be a one-sided massacre and nothing else.
This is also the weakness of the Chinese Navy.
In any case, the Bohai Bay, as an inland sea and surrounded by important places such as Chinese industry, shipbuilding, railways, and military centers, is the largest artery in northern China. If the Japanese fleet interferes here, although it will not cause chaos, it will definitely lead to a smoky atmosphere. Yes, it will also have a certain psychological impact on China's war against Japan.
To be honest, when the Chinese reconnaissance plane discovered the Japanese ship's attempt, the entire Bohai Fleet headquarters fell into silence.
The flagship "Hai Chen" of the First Destroyer Fleet has actually sunk. The other destroyers with insufficient strength can only hide in the Changdao Islands with dense shore artillery and wait for opportunities. It is impossible to rely on them to hit the ground;
The Second Destroyer Fleet is not used for decisive battles at sea, and an old light cruiser "Haiqi" ??and 15 gunboats of several hundred tons can only be targets for Japanese ships, and they are now at Qingdao's home port and serve as offshore for defensive purposes;
The only thing we can count on is the three ships "Hairong", "Haichou" and "Yingrui" that were refitted at Huludao Shipyard. They are all based on the blueprint of the Young Marshal's new navy, which updated the old coal-fired boilers to oil-fired boilers. The purpose is to enable them to run faster and keep up with the pace of the new destroyers.
The switch to using all petroleum products as fuel for warships began in the 1920s. Until now, some relatively large conventionally powered warships still use this fuel - heavy oil, which is petroleum refined into light oils such as gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. The heavy oil obtained will be refined later, and then it will become asphalt.
Although coal has advantages in content and price, it is not as good as heavy oil in critical performance aspects such as volume, transportation and handling, combustion value, and burning speed. Therefore, battleships using heavy oil have fast speed, good acceleration, long range, and carry capacity. The ammunition capacity is large and the advantages are obvious.
This advantage was adopted by Zhang Hanqing when he first developed the navy: new destroyers burned oil, and large-tonnage old cruisers were gradually replaced to keep their combat effectiveness advancing with the times.
This is crucial to the future development of the Chinese navy, which means that China is directly standing at a relatively high starting point. These ideas, like the decision-making of aviation as the main force, are the bridge for the Chinese navy to achieve leapfrog development.
The gradual improvement of China’s oil exploration capabilities and total volume is the economic basis for the transition from coal to oil.
The original plan of the Navy was to wait until these three ships were refitted before updating the "Haichen", "Haiqi" ??and other ships. However, the war started early, and only the lonely "Haichen" was watched. The Japanese warships were brutally slaughtered, and the "Haiqi" ??was hiding in Qingdao Port in isolation.
After the war started, the three ships all accelerated their modifications and completed their tasks ahead of schedule. However, even if three ships join, can they prevent the Japanese ships from entering? The Navy also counts on them as training ships to train captains.
At this time, Huang Shewang, who had already shown his talent, asked for help again: "Commander, the only one we have an asymmetric advantage is the naval aviation. It's time to let these young people show their faces again. As far as I know, there are less than 100 people on the Japanese aircraft carrier." There are 40 carrier-based aircraft, and we have a superior air force composed of a water wing and two bomber groups, with a number of no less than 200 aircraft.
And we also have the advantages of range and bomb load. Against dense warships, Army bombers can also assist in threatening them. If a large-scale attack was carried out against Japanese ships, it is still unknown whether they would dare to go deep into the narrow Bohai Sea. "
Submarine commander Wang Chuanjiong expressed support:"According to the young marshal's vision for the development of the navy, air, submarine and speed are the mainstream at this stage of our life. There are people who can fly in the sky, and it would be even better if there are people who can swim underwater, and it can also test our training results in previous years. . As the main force in the attack war, the submarine force should also take action."
This is a way. Because the Chinese naval aviation, especially the Yuh-1, all take off from land, they inherently carry more fuel and bombs than the aircraft taking off from the narrow deck of the Japanese aircraft carrier. Even in later generations, carrier-based aircraft are still slightly inferior to land-based aircraft with the same configuration.
Coupled with submarines, if something is gained, the Japanese warships will be worried about going deep. Anyway, the fleet can't be counted on. If the Japanese ships break in, the north will definitely be shaken. What's the point of keeping the aviation force at that time? So Shen Honglie and Song Changzhi looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
"It is said to be an attack, but in fact it is to delay or deter the Japanese army from entering with death. Considering the wooden fuselage and slow speed of the Chinese aircraft, in front of the Japanese fleet armed to the teeth, it is probably a matter of life or death, right? Otherwise, for the cost of one warship, at least hundreds to thousands of such aircraft can be produced. If they are easily defeated by such cheap aircraft, why bother spending so much money to build warships?
This theory has its flaws. The main reason is that it cannot see the prospects for the rapid development of the aviation industry and the huge progress in aircraft technology. Comparing already mature warships with nascent and relatively primitive aircraft, one would naturally come to the conclusion that aircraft are inferior to warships.
But after aircraft evolve to a certain level, within ten years, the balance of the world's military community will rapidly tilt towards aircraft. Of course, the cost ratio between aircraft and warships at this time has been greatly reduced.
When a single aircraft, or even a single squadron, competes with any Japanese warship, it will be an egg against a stone. Therefore, the Naval Aviation Command of the Bohai Fleet mobilized almost all water jets - 126 in one wing - to disrupt the sight of the Japanese warships. The real trump card is the two Yuh-1 brigades, a total of 82 aircraft equipped with torpedoes. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 912 Tragic
Based on the experience of the last naval battle, water jets have no way to deal with well-prepared warships, especially large ships like the "Hiei". Water jets equipped with machine guns will at most cause a certain degree of damage to the warships. riots, and when faced with warships that have updated or added anti-aircraft machine guns, their own vulnerability is undoubtedly exposed.
However, the Yuh-1 dealt a fatal blow to the Japanese warships, and its power was astonishing. Therefore, after the war, the officers and soldiers participating in the war and Huang Shewang, the commander of HNA, believed that fish and thunder bombers should be vigorously developed in the future. Water planes can be used for rescue and logistics. Support and reconnaissance purposes.
But this is something that will happen in the future. Solving it now is the top priority. The strategy of using water planes as cover and disruption and using Yuh-1 as the main attack force was passed on to all pilots participating in the battle. According to the reconnaissance results, the fleets assembled in Dalian, Yantai, Penglai, and Weihai all locked on the attack target: "Izumo" Armored cruiser.
It is the flagship and the leader in breaking into the Bohai Bay. The key is that its firepower and protective armor are inferior to battleships and the heavy cruisers "Hiei" and "King Kong" similar to battleships. It has a certain degree of certainty in fighting. After all, you have to pick the soft persimmons and pinch them.
There is no need for greater results, as long as one ship is wounded, other warships will be taboo.
In the early morning, the three submarines of the 11th Brigade of the 1st Detachment were quietly staying on the seabed in a "pin" shape. The water jets and fish bombers that had been concentrated the night before were all ready to go.
In the early morning at sea, there was a slight mist, and the visibility was not particularly good, but it was not blinding. The Japanese ship "Izumo" and the nine destroyers accompanying it moved forward cautiously in the mist.
The heavy artillery buried on the islands and shores on both sides of the waterway has been avoided. As long as it does not move too far to both sides, the Chinese artillery can only watch from a distance. According to intelligence, there are three adapted China cruisers capable of combat in the entire bay.
Although its guns are not as powerful as its own ships, its speed will be very fast because the wealthy China Navy has replaced it with oil-fired boilers. If you encounter it head-on, you must hit it with one hit, otherwise it will be very inconvenient if it slips away. After all, its 150mm naval gun is still very threatening against your own destroyers.
As for my taller self, I’m sorry, I’m not included. Isn’t that asking for abuse?
After passing the Laotieshan Waterway, the front suddenly becomes clear. At this distance, there are no shore guns to threaten, and the Japanese ships will be like fish in the sea, without any opponents. The officers and soldiers on the "Izumo" ship were jumping on the deck, preparing to attack various ports along the coast. The Bohai Bay coast is so long that it is impossible to have naval guns everywhere. The undefended sea will be a place for the Imperial Japanese Navy to gallop.
However, a violent roar came from a distance. Captain Kakuji Tsunoda raised his head in surprise and saw a group of crow-like floating objects floating in the sky from far to near.
"Compared to the arrogant army, the Japanese navy generals have received the most systematic training, so their personal military qualities are extraordinary. Such an aircraft group is definitely not our own, because in accordance with the spirit of this battle, the "Chicheng" carrying carrier-based aircraft was used as a backup and did not go into battle-this is also the embodiment of the Japanese army's "big ship decisive victory" thinking.
"Izumo" is not equipped with many anti-aircraft weapons. The air force of this era has not seen any examples of serious threats to ships, so not only the Japanese army, but also maritime powers such as the United Kingdom and the United States - it is practical to equip a limited hull with a few more guns.
This is also one of the reasons why the Bohai Fleet Headquarters decided to use the "Izumo" as the first battle target.
A few anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are not enough to deal with the aviation aircraft all over the sky, right? Not to mention that early anti-aircraft artillery used hot air balloons, reconnaissance aircraft and other relatively slow objects as attack targets, and the development lagged behind in suppressing artillery fire. Even though its hit rate was higher, how many anti-aircraft artillery shells can a warship carry?
The siren sounded, and the other destroyers aimed their weapons as high as possible into the air. I never imagined that such a day would come. How useful would these weapons with extremely powerful horizontal fire be in the air? While the Japanese soldiers were avoiding the explosions ringing around them, all the sailors raised their rifles and fired into the air.
This group of aircraft came from Dalian. According to the plan, they were used as interference tools to attract the attention of the Japanese ships and consume as much firepower as possible. Although guided by Zhang Hanqing's advanced thinking, the specific battle arrangements were inevitably influenced by "human defense" tactics.
The Shuihong-1 is operated by two people, one is driving, and the other is responsible for dropping bombs and shooting. It has been fully explained before the war that each aircraft is designed to kill as many people as possible on the ship and use anti-aircraft firepower. Although it will not cause actual damage to enemy ships, as long as the enemy is distracted or the defense strength is weakened, then it is the time for Yuh-1 to show its talents.
????????????????????Due to the load limit, the Water Bomber-1 can only carry 6 bombs that are pitifully weak, not even comparable to the explosive power of a 75mm howitzer, and the accuracy is extremely poor. Only a few bombs fell on the Japanese ship, and the others They all fell into the water, causing huge waves to hit the sky.
As for the target "Izumo", because its protection is relatively stronger than other destroyers, once its naval guns spit out tongues of flame, the Water Bomb-1 becomes a living target. First it was one, then another, and then it was so close that the Japanese rifles could shoot it down.
Therefore, the Japanese army was extremely arrogant. Kakuharu Tsunoda also found it unbelievable: "Are the Chinese people crazy? What's the use of rushing over like this? Even if you lie down and let you explode, the 'Izumo' with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons will not It’s nothing you can do!”
However, he still admired the bravery of the Chinese pilots: "Although the Chinese have simple tactics, their fearlessness of death is still frightening. The Bushido of our Empire of Japan is nothing more than this, right?"
In the clouds not far away, 12 Yuh-1s have slowly flown in and are waiting quietly. Their comrades had blocked countless artillery shells and bullets for them. They would emerge from the clouds at just one command and deliver a fatal blow to the Japanese ship. But when the order was actually given, they accelerated to the battlefield and saw a tragic scene.
36 Water H-1s were damaged to varying degrees: it was lucky that they fell into the water. After all, they were water planes and had a different landing advantage than the army. Those pilots who were disintegrated on the spot by artillery fire in the air could only return to the sea with their passionate souls holding their unrealized ambitions. There was almost no blood to be seen, but the rumbling sound of artillery fire and the non-stop smoking aircraft in the sky seemed to express the intensity of the battle.
There is no need for more confessions or sensational words. The Yuhong-1 pilots know that it is the death of their comrades that gives them a chance to win unexpectedly. If this opportunity is not grasped, the hard work, blood and lives of those comrades will be lost. All wasted. They also held the belief that they would die - if they were afraid of death in such an air battle, they would not be able to rush into such a barrage.
The aircraft in the sky were basically cleared, and the entire Third Fleet was in jubilation. Not to mention the Army's successive defeats, the Navy has also been losing troops and generals in the previous stage. Now, it has finally turned the page and it is our Third Fleet!
They were still trying to target the Chinese planes struggling in the air. Some sailors even set up anti-aircraft machine guns and hunted the water planes and pilots that fell on the sea, regardless of the fact that the Chinese pilots who fell into the water were unarmed.
So, when the Yuhong-1 Squadron suddenly appeared from the clouds, it was the Japanese Navy's turn to be shocked. There had just been a burst of fierce shooting, which almost wiped out all the shells in the gun emplacement. While I was enjoying myself, I didn't expect that the real killer weapon had just arrived. They screamed and hurriedly took bullets from the magazine, while trying to resist with their remaining strength.
This opportunity is not to be missed.
Zhang Chao swung the plane's nose fiercely, and right below him was the huge "Izumo". Maybe its tonnage is not comparable to the "King Kong" class, but in the entire Third Fleet, it is the largest and the most recognizable.
He is the squadron leader and the final commander of this operation. Before departure, aviation commander Huang Shewang had explained to him the seriousness of the battle, and he was determined to die.
In view of the previous experience that the accuracy of the fish bomber was very poor, they decided to fly the aircraft as close as possible to the Japanese ship before taking action. In this way, although the risk factor increased, the hit rate would be greatly improved. As the saying goes, If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs.
The Japanese troops on the "Izumo" relied on their relatively strong anti-aircraft firepower to bite a torpedo bomber trying to approach it. As navies, they are well aware of the power of fish and mines. If it is hit by such an inconspicuous thing, it will be paralyzed directly; if two or more are hit, it will be scrapped or sunk. This is a choice between life and death, and you must fight for it.
The Yuh-1 was destroyed nearly 300 meters away.
Zhang Chao’s eyes seemed to be bursting with anger. He waved his tail calmly, and two more planes rushed forward. The target of this round is the "Izumo". The few fish bombers cannot disperse the bombing, otherwise not only will there be no results, but they will also be defeated by the Japanese fleet of numerous warships. Only by fighting the loss of the entire squadron and the entire cover brigade and attacking this target with all our strength can we have a chance.
The two planes rushed forward, one on the left and the other on the right. The pilot on the front of the plane had even seen the proud body of the "Izumo". However, tongues of fire came out, and sharp shells exploded next to his ears. His vision began to shake, because the wings of the plane were hit again and it tipped over irregularly.
At the last moment, he also saw the "Izumo" maneuvering in a snake shape to avoid a torpedo launched by the wingman.
Alas, failed again!
The somewhat enlightened Japanese destroyers began to fully support the "Izumo". They used barrages to firmly hold the last line of defense around it, and four more Yuh-1s were hit one after another.
If we continue to fight like this, is it possible that the entire army will be wiped out? But are you unwilling to go back? The opportunity that Hainan Airlines gained by using dozens of aircraft as bait cannot be lost in such a hurry. Even if it is to die, it must be backed up!
Zhang Chao decided to go aboard himself. With his skillful skills, he would seriously injure the Japanese ship even if it hit him!

Chapter 913 Chinese Soul
??
He is not the only one who has this idea. When he pulled the control stick to prepare to dive, a wingman next to him rushed out first. This was Wang Xiaohu's plane.
No more evasion. Although there is a chance to avoid the gunfire, it also extends the distance to attack the "Izumo". One point farther away, one point worse in accuracy, and one point less chance.
Just rush down like this, not avoiding the shells. Unless he was blown up on the spot, he would fly the plane towards the "Izumo" like this. No matter how fast the opponent is, it can't be faster than a plane; no matter how fierce it is, it can't withstand such a desperate charge. If you fail, you will only get a plane. If you win, you will get back a warship worth millions or hundreds of times your own value!
The most threatening scene appeared. The sailors on the Japanese ship picked up their rifles and kept shooting at Wang Xiaohu's mobile phone. At a height of 300 meters from the warship, Wang Xiaohu's plane was hit by a bullet, and a plume of thick smoke quickly fell toward the sea. The Japanese navy officers and soldiers cheered.
Zhang Chao stamped his feet and was about to swoop down. Suddenly, the battlefield situation changed drastically.
In this era, due to the extremely slow speed of the aircraft, the pilot has a great chance of survival even without a parachute after a crash. This is especially true at sea, where the wooden fuselage can even float for a while, or the aircraft can simply be used as a life raft.
However, Wang Xiaohu decided to give up this opportunity.
The entire water bombardment squadron worked in vain, and a whole water machine brigade was lost in front of them. If so many comrades lost their lives, it would be a shame for the Chinese military if there were no results at all - usually deeply affected by the propaganda and propaganda of the Political Department He was so influenced that his eyes were red. Seeing the Japanese ship close at hand, he was afraid that the Chinese aviation force would have no better chance than him, so he resolutely flew his plane straight towards the "Izumo".
The most eye-catching part of the entire warship is the smoking chimney. According to the instructions in the tactical regulations, the chimney is the power system of the entire ship. It is an extremely important and extremely fragile part.
There was a teammate in front because of its super mobility, which caused the torpedoes launched to deviate from the direction. If it was disabled, it would create opportunities for subsequent teammates to attack, so he started here.
No one pays attention to the roaring water bomber dragging thick smoke. According to experience, its only result is to fall into the sea. Therefore, the Japanese army's energy was already focused on the water bomber piloted by Zhang Chao who was already eager to try, which gave Wang Xiaohu a God-given opportunity.
A shrill siren sounded on the "Izumo". It was the subconscious action of the Japanese troops on the lookout who discovered this desperate plane. Countless sailors watched in stunned silence as it plunged straight towards the huge chimney of the "Izumo", and even forgot to try to stop it. It wasn't until a soldier with nimble hands and feet on a destroyer nearby sprayed a continuous rain of bullets that the officers and soldiers watching the scenery woke up as if they were dreaming.
But it was too late.
The thin wings of the water bomber, together with the pilot Wang Xiaohu, plunged into the chimney that was releasing light smoke. There was a loud "boom", and thick black smoke flashed from there and went straight into the sky. The huge fires and explosions in the smoke silenced the entire battlefield, and the "Izumo" also slowly stopped in this silence.
It’s too late to say it, but it’ll be soon. Witnessing the feats of his comrades, Zhang Chao burst into tears. Although the power of the "Izumo" was damaged, the damage caused by a water bomber to its hull was not sufficient after all. After repairs, it will become a giant at sea again. If you don't take this opportunity to give it a fatal blow, the martyr's behavior will only achieve half the result with twice the result.
Also ignoring the sharpness of the anti-aircraft fire, Zhang Chao launched an attack from the stern of the ship. Since the "Izumo" has lost its maneuverability, it is basically a floating land mass, which is very beneficial for aircraft aiming! So after entering the range of the fish | laser, Zhang Chao pressed the button decisively.
The moment the fish leaped into the water, Zhang Chao clearly saw the white splash at its tail. Accompanied by the fish|torpedo that shuttled through the water at the speed of an arrow, his plane plummeted straight down. At the same time as he launched the torpedo, his landline was also hit.
But it does not affect the outcome of the battle.
The officers and soldiers of the "Izumo" looked at the traces of swimming fish and mines in horror, and some subconsciously fired into the water. However, once this behemoth weighing more than 600 kilograms is launched, how can it be disturbed by random bullets? Amidst the shrill shouts, Colonel Kakuji Tsunoda felt that the warship was touched by something. After the dull impact, there was a very brief moment of stillness.
How long is this moment? In a person's long life, this moment is so short that it can be ignored; but when it is related to a person's important life, it seems extremely long.
A loud noise filled the sea surface. The huge "Izumo" made a trembling bump, and the air waves could be felt by people on the ship next door. Because itWell, it is inevitable that he will take the blame and resign.
Now, as long as he elaborates on China's support for the navy, the people in the military who take it as their own duty to open up new territories will definitely give preference to the navy's budget in the future, right? After all, the Navy is the soul of the Japanese Empire.
As for the plane crashing into the warship, it directly stimulated Japan's craze for using "kamikaze commandos" in the Pacific War. This was something that the Chinese soldiers who fought against them did not expect.
Moreover, the Chinese Navy's tactical victory cannot conceal the fact that because of the "inaction" of the Bohai Fleet, the coastal gateway to the entire northern China was opened, and the Japanese Navy actually controlled the sea lines of communication north of the Yangtze River Estuary. In one sense, Japan has achieved self-evident strategic success. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 914 Influence
This naval battle has benefited both sides a lot.
From then on, the Japanese Navy began to focus on the construction of naval aviation, which also made Yamamoto realize the role of carrier-based fighter jets in actual combat. He began to explore the traditional combat concept centered on giant ships and cannons, at least ten years earlier than in official history.
Under the advocacy of Naoma Taniguchi and others, China’s idea of ??using air to control the sea gained the attention of the Japanese naval community, which laid the foundation for the subsequent adaptation of the "Yamato" and the development of Japanese aircraft carriers. But who would know that all this was just a mistake made by the defeated general Taniguchi to shirk responsibility?
On the Chinese side, because of this victory, it basically verified Zhang Hanqing’s idea of ??focusing on developing naval aviation to achieve leapfrog development. From the sea to the land, everyone gave great approval to the development of the air force. They have been arguing for several years about the naval aviation, The issue of which is better between land and air has been completely resolved, paving the way for China to become an air power.
In addition, the shortcomings of small surface ships with "thin skin and tender flesh" and insufficient firepower are undoubtedly exposed, which also corrects some of Zhang Hanqing's previously taken-for-granted understandings, especially about naval guns.
He previously believed that since future naval battles are destined to be dominated by aviation, it would be a waste to waste energy and limited resources on manufacturing large-caliber naval guns. After this naval battle and the summary of all aspects, he realized that something was wrong.
It is true that naval forces, especially carrier-based aircraft, can attack and destroy the enemy's main battleships and cruisers over long distances. However, due to the limited performance of aircraft, weather, accuracy, and the opponent's air defense capabilities are all important conditions that determine success. The carrier aircraft is not yet certain to kill the enemy.
In this way, once the enemy breaks through the attack circle of carrier-based aircraft, or the two sides encounter each other face-to-face by chance, if our own warships cannot effectively defend themselves, the aircraft carrier and others will become living targets.
This requires warships to have a certain self-protection capability. The caliber of naval guns may not be as large as the 12 or 16 inches that powerful countries often have, but they still need to be capable of fighting and threatening. The caliber is too small, like the existing ones. The destroyer's 100mm caliber is indeed too small. They can't really attack enemy ships at all, it's just like being beaten without being able to fight back.
The largest caliber naval gun in China's history was the German-made Krupp 305mm cannon on the Beiyang "Dingyuan" class iron-clad battleship. It was not until 1949 in official history that the Chinese People's Liberation Army regained its epoch-making cannon: in the surrender of "Chongqing" "The cruiser's 152mm cannon.
At this stage, the largest caliber cannons on China's coast are the 150mm naval guns on cruisers such as "Haichen" and "Haiqi". Although they are still far inferior to Europe, the United States and Japan in terms of performance, as long as they do not compete head-on with battleships or heavy cruisers, they are China's largest warships that can compete with ordinary cruisers. This is why although they are older, they are Reasons to still accept the adaptation.
As long as a new naval gun is installed, it can still pose a considerable threat to enemy heavy cruisers and warships below.
Compared with the threat of 155mm shore guns to warships, Zhang Hanqing would rather build a cruiser that can "walk sideways". Cruisers serve as the screen for long-term ocean presence and fleet power search. They have the advantages of smaller price and tonnage than battleships, overwhelming advantages in speed, stronger firepower than destroyers, and better seaworthiness. They are the main escort force and the main force in surface night battles.
As the personal guards of future aircraft carriers, they do not need to fight decisively, but at least they can save lives at critical times, which is very important. At this time, among the smallest caliber cannons that can compete with battleships that can easily fire 336mm or above caliber naval guns, 203mm is the smallest.
No matter how big it is, the hull will be enlarged. China's shipbuilding strength cannot keep up, and there is a suspicion of developing into a "giant ship". Therefore, after many exchanges with the Navy, the Ministry of National Defense, the General Armament Department and the Naval Command made a new round of supplements for the development of the Navy:
Started to design a heavy cruiser with a displacement of 8,000 to 10,000 tons, with a 203mm naval gun as the main gun. China currently does not have the ability to build such a cannon, and Zhang Hanqing has contacted Germany, a powerful cannon-making country, through private channels.
Based on the experience of other countries, 5-inch guns are more difficult to deal with cruisers, so the 155mm secondary gun will be used. The reason why the inch-based 152mm is not used is because the People's Army Army has some experience in the use and construction of 155mm heavy artillery. If possible, there is no need to go to great trouble to introduce it from abroad.
Similarly, smaller caliber cannons will also be based on the metric system, such as 125mm, 105mm, and 75mm.
Although the Japanese learned from the British, they found that the transportation of ammunition for 152mm naval guns was a huge burden on their small bodies, so their battleship secondary guns (and light cruiser main guns) all used 140mm guns.
I believe that after this battle, the great powers with sensitive information will definitely raise their attention to air threats to a new height, and fleet air defense will become a very important part. Under this circumstance, new destroyers focusing on air defense and anti-submarine warfare are also on the agenda.
&nb?Professional command personnel, such as the former captain of the "Haichen" Ling Xiao, navigation mate Sun Yingqi, gun mate Yang Chaolun, destroyer captains Mo Yaoming, You Keshu, Tang Xinyu, etc., all serve as senior instructors. Qinhuangdao Naval Command College strives to cultivate subsequent echelon talents.
They have experienced major battles and have been inspired by theoretical teaching. They will be the rising stars of the Chinese Navy.
People can wait for ships, but ships cannot wait for people. It can be expected that the development of the Chinese navy will be explosive in the future, and reserve talents in advance is the top priority. It is even more far-reaching than the victory of a naval battle.
In this way, the three newly renovated "Hairong" and other ships were simply handed over to the Naval Academy for teaching purposes. Anyway, with these remaining financial resources, there was no hope of fighting the Japanese army.
Although it seems to weaken the strength of the navy, in the long run, this is undoubtedly a very advanced move: at least the naval cadets will not just stay at the stage of talking on paper. They will have several months of sea internship opportunities every year and become familiar with multiple Later, captains were born in batches, and talents in various positions such as gunners, air defense chiefs, communications officers, and engine controls were also trained.

Chapter 915 Military Inspection Group
No matter how General Taniguchi Naozhen hides it, its failure in the Yellow Sea is obvious.
The sinking of the "Izumo" shocked the whole country. So what if the strategy is successful? At least in the conception of a group of people from the Central Military Commission headed by Zhang Hanqing, they did not plan to compete with the Japanese army at sea. As long as the Japanese navy does not enter the Bohai Bay and does not impose major constraints on China's troops entering North Korea or put pressure on the capital circle, it will be China's success.
So both sides thought they had won strategically.
The navy's efforts were in vain and the land was deadlocked. Japan's idea of ??using military force to quickly and once and for all solve the problem went bankrupt.
Although the Northeast is at war, the entire Central China, Northwest China, and South China are still carrying out economic construction in an orderly manner. In South China and East China, because of the concessions in Hong Kong and Shanghai, the Japanese Navy cannot carry out large-scale landing operations, which is basically a The only way to make a small fuss is to harass the ports along the coast. The construction here is also changing with each passing day.
The Gyeonggi area and North China, protected by the Bohai Bay, are also very peaceful, and people's work, study and life have not been greatly affected.
??——It’s good to have a big country! Under this situation, on the Japanese side, if someone wants to continue fighting, then he is not a qualified politician.
The Marshal came to Dalian in person, and reporters from all over the world flocked to the event. Everyone knows that it was the young marshal who personally led this war and inquired about major and minor events in China's political and military life. His attitude was the attitude of the People's Party and the attitude of this country. In addition, because the young marshal is approachable and a popular figure in the social arena, he is the best candidate to understand China.
As an informal ally of China, Germany paid great attention to this war. Of course, they want to know more about the combat capabilities of the Chinese military and, most importantly, the actual combat effectiveness of the weapons they design or direct. For the future rise of the German Empire, China is a mirror and a source of strength.
They were particularly interested in the tank battles that took place on this land, and they sent a large military inspection team. The Chinese Army's tactics of using tanks also attracted the attention of a member of the inspection team. His name is Guderian, who is currently an officer in the German Army Transport Department.
When Guderian stared at the Chinese young marshal who was younger than him but had commanded hundreds of thousands of troops in battle, the young marshal was also looking at him carefully.
Not only him, but also Major Manstein of the German General Staff and Rommel, the principal of the Wiener Neustadt Military School. These army officers, who would later be known as the Three Heroes of the Nazis, unexpectedly gathered together because of this opportunity and in this time and space, allowing Zhang Hanqing to see his true appearance.
It can be seen that Germany really attaches great importance to this trip. Although these three people are currently not well-known, they should all be the best in the German army. These figures, praised by both the enemy and us for their "Blitzkrieg", genius use of tanks, and "Desert Fox", were Zhang Hanqing's important military mentors when he traveled to this world, but these mentors didn't know it.
Now, Zhang Hanqing, a student, wants to preach to his mentors that it should be their creation. The absurdity of this world really makes people laugh and cry.
They first met at the Sino-German Military Exchange Symposium, and Zhang Hanqing finally met a close friend who could unreservedly share his understanding of modern warfare, especially army operations. What is rare is that the young marshal, who is busy with everything, has a deep interest in them and takes the trouble to share his experience in the tank battle in Kanto Prefecture.
"We won this battle resoundingly, but our preparations for this were adequate, and the consumption of ammunition and fuel was staggering. Modern warfare relies on resources and logistics, and this will be even more true in the future. If we encounter a close enemy or a more severe situation, How to fight a powerful enemy with such serious attrition? The battle may be won, but the country will also collapse.
At the beginning of the Kanto Prefecture War, we set the operational philosophy of a quick victory. When fighting on our land, it is our homeland that is rotten, so we thought of a way to greatly increase the firepower and speed of the attack, and that is to use mechanized tanks.
In ancient times, tanks were heavily armored cavalry. With it, infantry can travel hundreds of kilometers in a day. Its suddenness is a fatal injury to the enemy, and its firepower cannot be surpassed by ordinary infantry. Soon, after the emergence of more powerful heavy tanks, the caliber of its artillery will also become larger. By then, its firepower will be almost the same as that of ordinary artillery, and its power will become more apparent.
This kind of weapon capable of long-distance maneuvering, coupled with aircraft capable of intensive ground bombing, can launch large-scale attacks in very distant places, quickly cut off the enemy's communication lines and assembly points, and paralyze the enemy's command system and logistics. The role of the line. It can attack the enemy's rear in a very short period of time, thus pulling the front to its side.With the changes in the world, it is self-evident that the mystery of China’s rapid rise has troubled historical circles for hundreds of years.
"Correct strategies, proactive responses, the theory of great power game that changes with the times, as well as a huge population base and economic development have created this superpower in the East.
"The east is red, the sun is rising, and China has a Zhang Hanqing. He works for people's welfare, and he is people's great savior."
From then on, the three heroes admired the Chinese young marshal deeply. In this world, it is difficult to find a true friend. How many people have the opportunity to meet the young marshal and receive advice from him?
Their military literacy is already higher than that of Zhang Hanqing. After being successfully brainwashed by Zhang Hanqing, they have accumulated the qualities to become a famous general. Perhaps for them, this created their lifelong glory, but for the world, is it not a disaster? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 916 A glimmer of peace
The reason why Zhang Hanqing came to Dalian is because the Battle of Bohai Bay is related to whether his plan against Japan can be realized. He must rely on his own strength to try his best to achieve this victory. Only when the Japanese army is unable to break through at sea, continues to lose troops and generals on land, and has no chance of victory, will they take the initiative to sit at the negotiating table.
The war was a disaster for Japan, but it was also a torture for the new China and the Chinese people's plan to revitalize industry and economy. After these wars, the Japanese military and political circles have understood China's indomitable determination and ability to win, and they will wisely give up and continue to delay.
Unless you are like the United States in World War I, war is a double-edged sword for both sides.
Fortunately, the naval battle was victorious. Although contact with the outside world through sea was cut off, since there was not much cross-border trade, or most of the international trade was a surplus with China, the impact on the Chinese economy was still very small.
On the Army side, although there was a serious incident in which the 3rd Army changed the battle intention of the Korean Army without authorization, it finally turned the corner. This resulted in a slight deviation from the expected idea of ????defining the Han River as the boundary. However, Zhang Hanqing can still accept this result.
The situation is already quite good. Occupying more or less land will have no impact on the overall situation. Anyway, this battle has stabilized the unfavorable situation for China in the three eastern provinces and the Bohai Bay. China has shown itself to the world as a strong one. This is enough.
It is unrealistic to defeat Japan. First of all, its superior navy is an obstacle that cannot be overcome. If the fight continues, it will be nothing more than a lose-lose situation with no ending. Although the impact of the war on the economic construction of Guotongbo was limited, it is undeniable that the exchange of fire initiated in Shanghai during the same period affected the trade in East China to a certain extent.
Therefore, when there was an ongoing debate in Japan about whether to expand the war against China, Zhang Hanqing gave up and issued a statement from the Chinese People's Party on the current situation, expressing the hope that both parties would sit at the negotiating table instead of speaking with the sound of cannons.
After several months of fierce fighting, the People's Army successively deployed 13 armies, accounting for more than one-third of the total force. They suffered nearly 40,000 casualties in exchange for the destruction of the four major Japanese armies. The casualty ratio reached one to two, giving China an advantage.
Although there is still a stalemate on the east and west coasts of North Korea, Chinese and foreign military experts believe that if the Japanese army does not more than double its strength, it will be impossible to break through the defense lines of the two elite armies of the People's Army. Whether Japan expands its domestic army will directly determine whether the People's Army will send more troops to the front line. At this point, the logistics line and troop sources are beneficial to China.
Japan’s Tanaka cabinet is also eager to end this war. They were retreating steadily on land, and their efforts at sea were in vain but resulted in losses. More importantly, Japan's economy was greatly affected, and there were already some signs of economic decline in the country.
War is for the purpose of gaining benefits. It is okay to fight a war like seizing territory and paying huge indemnity after the victory of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, but forget about a war like the Russo-Japanese War, which was a great military victory but had no economic benefits.
With the consistent toughness of the Zhang family and China’s national situation, it is absolutely impossible to seek benefits from China through a major defeat, so there is really no need to continue this war.
However, the war has gone like this, and the brainwashed citizens are demanding to declare war on China. It is inappropriate to talk about peace rashly at this time. Those people from the military will shoot him to death, and the people His anger will also tear his Prime Minister's office into pieces.
It lacks an opportunity and a peacemaker, and it still doesn’t know China’s bottom line.
As Chinese and foreign journalists and various delegations, military inspection groups, and visiting groups gathered in Dalian, an Italian came into the spotlight of Japanese political circles. This person was called Ciano.
Speaking of which, Japan and Italy were both winners of World War I, and both had the same speculative views: Italy was rebelling, Japan was profiteering, and neither was a strong Allied ally. Perhaps in this connection, they had a good relationship after the war. After the Japan-British alliance was dismantled by the United States, if it weren't for the fact that the Italian navy was too weak, the Japanese government would even have thought of forming a Japan-Italy alliance.
Prime Minister Tanaka summoned the Italian Minister to Japan and tactfully stated that he hoped to convey the Japanese desire to negotiate peace through Ciano. Because this Ciano has a big background. If he had raised it seriously, the Japanese government could have simply given up on it and greatly reduced people's dissatisfaction.
Because Ciano basically represents Mussolini, the head of state of Italy.
Ciano was born into a noble family in Livorno, Italy. His father, Costanzo Ciano, Count of Capri, was a close friend of Mussolini and a fascist senator. He was later appointed as Mussolini's Rini's heir, who served for many years as Transport Secretary and President of the Fascist Chamber of Deputies.
This kind of qualifications and background made Ciano's life path very smooth: he graduated from the Law Department of the University of Rome at the age of 22.He entered the diplomatic service in 2006, and a few years later he is now a strong candidate to become the Consul General of the Consulate in Shanghai. Without him, as his father's good friend, Mussolini was very optimistic about him and intended to betroth his daughter Ada to him. With this relationship, his influence is huge in Italian politics.
This time, at the age of 26, he also went to Dalian as a representative of Italy investigating China’s Far East affairs. Due to the professional sensitivity of a diplomat, he was very concerned about the trends between China and Japan, and was also treated politely by Chinese Marshal Zhang Hanqing.
"If he comes forward and "persuades" the two countries to cease fighting through his words, although there is little chance of success, it can test the psychological reaction of the Japanese people. After all, this kind of "benevolent and righteous" act of a semi-ally nature, as a government, will not "punish verbally and penally" after the incident, and it is easy to step down with dignity.
Ciano learned of this request from his country’s minister in China. He originally aspired to get ahead in politics, so why wouldn't he seize this good opportunity to gain political halo? After fully comparing the political, economic and military strength of both sides and relevant intelligence, he believed that both sides had peaceful aspirations.
As long as this general direction exists, there is hope for negotiations. So almost the day after Zhang Hanqing received the German military delegation, he expressed his desire to have a long talk with the young marshal.
With his current status, although he is very eye-catching in Italy, his influence in China is far from the same level as that of Zhang Hanqing. However, all the visitors came, so Zhang Hanqing still agreed to talk to him regardless of his seniority of three years.
After receiving the notice from the Marshal’s Office confirming the interview, Ciano prepared materials for the meeting. The Japanese government has conditions. How to get the Chinese government, especially the young marshal who has always been tough, to accept it took a lot of effort.
No matter what, successfully conveying the opinions of the warring parties to each other is a step in the right direction. As long as the young commander agrees to talk, a bridge of communication between China and Japan will be built.
The dawn of peace appears. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 917 Just passing on the message
This is a noble man with a typical Mediterranean style. Whether it is his bronze skin or the big eyes with double eyelids that are common among Europeans, he makes people feel very attractive, and his good cultivation also makes people feel like spring breeze. Even people like Zhang Hanqing who don't like masculinity still applaud him.
But what Zhang Hanqing pays more attention to is not him, but the young woman next to him.
The young marshal’s desire for women came to an abrupt end after his association with Wanrong. Of course, the scheming on occasion cannot be counted. On the one hand, Zhang Zuolin gradually transferred power to him, and he needed more time to deal with military affairs; on the other hand, as he grew older and his power became more stable, his prestige also increased.
Under the dazzling halo, sometimes doing bad things will damage his reputation. As people get older, they lose face.
Moreover, after experiencing the virtuousness like Yu Fengzhi, the gentleness like Huang Wanqing, the wildness like Gu Ruiyu, the beauty like Yu Yifan, the intellectuality like Song Meiling Sheng Aiyi, and the extraordinary stimulation given by Wanrong, the last queen of China, these different beauties once I have experienced it all, and I will quickly enter a state of aesthetic fatigue. So for a beautiful girl like Zhao Yidi, who should have a huge connection, he didn't cause any ripples.
But, this woman really made him attracted.
If she only looks pretty and charming, Yu Yifan and Huang Wanqing are not inferior to her; but she has a kind of combined intellectual and wild beauty, the kind of temperament from the inside out and the calm and generous aura of commanding the crowd. It requires long-term practice. Even Soong Meiling does not have the aura of the first lady in history and the opportunity to enter politics. Her aura is more of a sophistication in assisting in handling political affairs, but there is no aura.
This woman only looks like she is eighteen or nineteen years old, right? Why does it feel so different? Where did Ciano find this woman? So extraordinary!
Zhang Hanqing is not the first brother. Although he has some thoughts in his heart, he adheres to all etiquette on the scene. He not only gives Ciano a Western-style hug, but also does not forget the Eastern-style saving handshake. Anyway, it not only makes people feel his stability, but also makes this Italian young man feel the Chinese people's love for him.
China now needs to deal with all countries that are willing to have good relations with China, not only to broaden its diplomatic horizons, but also to develop its economic needs, and also to solve the bottleneck of the development of the defense industry: Italy's aircraft manufacturing is ahead of the rest of the world.
After the introduction, Zhang Hanqing learned that this woman was Ciano's Chinese translator. As for the name, I'm sorry, it's such a trivial matter that doesn't need to be introduced. However, this is what Zhang Hanqing thinks is most important!
Despite her young age, this woman speaks fluent Italian and can translate Chinese with perfect accuracy. Zhang Hanqing was very interested, but due to the occasion, he couldn't laugh as much as he wanted, so he felt very itchy.
But after Ciano explained his intention to Zhang Hanqing, our young marshal corrected his attitude from the bottom of his heart. He still clearly distinguishes between national affairs and the love between his children and his children. It is obscene rather than romantic to indulge in lustful playthings.
Ciano solemnly stated his position: "I came here this time just as entrusted by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to exchange opinions with the Marshal on the truce between China and Japan. The Italian government has no intention of intervening in any conflict between you and Japan. It is just based on the goodwill of friendly countries to mediate this conflict as much as possible. After all, war is a huge harm to both sides."
Zhang Hanqing agreed: "We never want war. The Chinese people have not taken care of their own affairs, and the lives of the Chinese people are still very difficult. War is not our choice. We believe that the right and wrong can be judged by the public.
Before Representative Qi came, I was determined to carry out the war to the end. Politics is not a game of house. You cannot fight whenever you want and stop when you want. China has suffered huge losses and cannot be ignored. There is no reason for this!
"But Mr. Qi has come all the way. The Chinese people are not willing to casually throw away the hope of peace talks. We also hope that Mr. Qi will have a perfect journey. Therefore, I accept Mr. Qi's goodwill." If Japan, like Mr. Qi, makes its request for peace talks in good faith to solve the problem, we will respond appropriately after listening. "
Negotiation naturally involves bargaining. It was the Japanese side who proposed the peace talks first, and it was necessary to be cautious, even though he wanted to lay down his weapons now and become a Buddha immediately.
Ciano smiled. China's attitude is not too tough, so peace talks will be easier. But what else does the young marshal want to say about "China has suffered huge losses"? I don’t know what his reaction will be when he learns about the Japanese government’s conditions.
The beautiful translator looked at Zhang Hanqing inadvertently. As a translator, it is necessary for her to listen carefully to the words of both parties and judge the meaning contained in them. The tone, intonation, and even the changes in gestures and facial expressions are very useful.It is related to Yukichi Fukuzawa, an advocate of militarism. "My heart has declared that we will sever ties with China and North Korea, our evil neighbor in East Asia." This is his famous saying to show his determination to leave Asia. After carving up ancient China with the great powers, Eastern Japan has resonated with the Western powers to a certain extent, and it is natural for them to be as close as one family emotionally.
In his heart, Zhang Hanqing refers to both the West and East as Japanese, so he is not polite: "Then please Mr. Qi to send a message to the Japanese government. The Chinese government agrees to the Japanese government's conditions for a truce in Korea as follows: The first is that the Japanese army withdraws from North Korea, and the future of North Korea is left to the Korean people to decide; the second is that Japan gives up annexing China's Taiwan and Ryukyu. After these two conditions are met, we can consider concluding a peace agreement with them!"
Since Japan’s sincerity is fake, it can’t blame itself for making jokes. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 918 So beautiful
Ciano was calm on the surface, and even expressed regret to Zhang Hanqing in a gentlemanly manner, but in his heart, he had already greeted this Chinese who "doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth" to his eight generations of ancestors.
Zhang Hanqing also shook hands with him with a smile. At this time, he was no longer in the mood for a pretentious hug. He also shook hands with Ciano's beautiful translator in a gentlemanly manner, and at the same time wanted to hug her sincerely to thank her for her skillful translation work.
There is no friendship without business. Ciano smiled and extended an invitation to Zhang Hanqing: "Young Marshal, delegations from various countries will hold an equestrian competition tomorrow afternoon. I look forward to your appreciation."
The soldiers at the front are fighting bloody battles. As a military commander, it is not convenient for him to be voluptuous in public. The impact would be too bad. The best image of him is to appear to the outside world with concern for the country and the people. Moreover, as a Chinese at heart, he is very dissatisfied with Western equestrian sports and has always been dissatisfied with the continued existence of equestrian events in later Olympic Games.
Compared with the promotion of national sports, equestrian, an aristocratic sport, cannot be popularized on a large scale. Its awards are only handed out in a few countries with aristocratic traditions such as the United Kingdom and Australia. China has the largest number of participants and has a great advantage. However, the awards for table tennis and badminton have been reduced again and again, which is a typical monopoly of powerful countries' voice.
He refused very politely and said: "I also have to inspect the defense of the peninsula, and in a few days I will go to North Korea to condolences the officers and soldiers. I wish I could divide one person into two people. Where will I have time? Only when China and Japan truly realize peace, then Give it a chance.”
Ciano looked at the beautiful translator next to him and shrugged regretfully: "Miss Liao will definitely be disappointed. She has been preparing for this for a long time."
It turns out her surname is Liao! Zhang Hanqing became interested: "Does Ms. Liao also want to attend the equestrian competition?" If I have the opportunity to make an appointment with her, I can always find time!
Translator Liao smiled shyly, and the whole room was filled with joy. Ciano took over the conversation: "Of course, Miss Liao is a seed athlete in the equestrian competition and has received very good horse riding training."
I see. Zhang Hanqing was very interested: "Miss Liao is here, so I must go. For no other reason than for Miss Liao's hard work of translating for half a day today, even if it is to thank me, I will go." After a pause, he said Said: "Although I am not talented, I can still ride a horse, and I was born to be able to ride."
Ms. Liao was surprised: "I've never heard that the young marshal can also do equestrian? I need to ask for advice."
Zhang Hanqing smiled: "My horse is different from yours."
Ms. Liao thought he was talking about war horses. According to the resume of this legendary young marshal, he grew up among war horses and had been in the army during his youth. It is not surprising that he said this. However, the young marshal still didn't understand that his horseback riding skills were very different from the horsemanship performances, but it was not easy to correct.
At that time, Zhang Hanqing was also thinking wildly: "I have conquered ocean horses, ridden Japanese horses, and I have ridden many local horses. I wonder what it feels like to ride Miss Liao's horse?"
The busy schedule of the previous moment was quickly sorted out by the temptation of the beautiful woman’s company. Ciano was smiling, but in his heart he was scorning: "Young marshal is just a playboy who takes pleasure in hunting."
Ms. Liao smiled sweetly: "Then I hope the young marshal will not break the appointment." Her charming eyes and graceful figure filled Zhang Hanqing's youthful hormones again. He is still young and needs the nourishment of a woman. After staying in Dalian for a few days, all I saw was the masculinity of the military. Suddenly, a beautiful woman with extremely feminine beauty came. It was strange that there was no rebound.
The equestrian competition venue is located next to the garden of the original Japanese Kanto Hall. The place is not spacious, but it is rare and quiet. A bunch of members of the foreign delegation were bored, so they agreed to play some gentlemen's games as a means of communication.
At this time, equestrianism was not as strict as it was later. Because it was a casual activity, it wasn't very formal. I just didn't know where to get some military horses. Everyone was unfamiliar with the horses and men, which tested the riders' personal skills.
Although there are cars in this era, almost all gentlemen and ladies from some wealthy families are no strangers to horses. Of course, because there is no running-in, it is normal for some jokes to appear. This is an event with a lively atmosphere.
Ms. Liao is ranked first in the order of appearance. As soon as this beautiful and sweet girl takes action, everyone knows that she is an expert. Her figure is already delicate, but the horse she chose is majestic and unrestrained, which makes people sweat. As she pedaled vigorously and lifted the reins calmly, the horse steadily circled left and right under her control. The beauty and the fierce woman complemented each other.
Pretty girls, no matter what they do, always make people feel different and are always the center of attention. However, she did not lose herself in the adulation of the crowd, and her eyes were still focused on the front When the horse galloped to the bend, he suddenly glanced at Zhang Hanqing, who was surrounded by a crowd.
Zhang Hanqing is enjoying the beautiful scenery with a smile. In a tight work schedule, the pleasing beauty performance is undoubtedly a kind of relief. Miss Liao is only 18 or 19 years old. Why is her riding skills so good? She translated Italian so fluently. This Republic of China is really full of talented people!
This statement is biased. No matter what era, there will always be some outstanding figures, and with his status, everyone he sees is a talent in the industry, so he will naturally come to the view that "talents are at their peak" around him.
"However, if the person being complimented was not as beautiful as Miss Liao, even if she was as talented as him, he would just nod his head and praise her, and he wouldn't have such feelings. Men, when facing beautiful women, will always selectively magnify their advantages.
Ms. Liao was very generous despite the cheers of the crowd. She smiled lightly and was not disturbed by the outside noise at all. However, when Kankan approached Zhang Hanqing, he caught his gaze, his eyes suddenly turned, his body swayed, and he was about to fall off his horse.
The horse’s speed is not very fast, and with her strength, she is not in danger of her life, but it always ruins the scenery when a beautiful woman falls to the ground, right? As an important guest, Zhang Hanqing was always in the front row. He reacted quickly and stepped forward to hold her waist and shouted softly: "Be careful!"
With the warm fragrant nephrite in my arms, I feel that Miss Liao's waist is delicate and smooth. After being supported by her, Miss Liao did not reposition herself, but fell into his arms. Our young marshal, of course, wanted to show off his talents. He changed his tactics and freed up one of his hands around her waist to pick up her legs and hold her firmly in his arms.
She acted very naturally, and Zhang Hanqing took over very safely, that is, it happened at this moment. Some of the onlookers were envious, some were disgusted, but they all applauded tacitly. The good guy even praised him: "What a skill, young marshal!"
Miss Liao blushed slightly under the attention of everyone. She struggled to stand on the ground, straightened her wrinkled clothes, lowered her head slightly and said softly: "Thank you, Marshal, for your help, otherwise I would have made a lot of people laugh today." Zhang Hanqing knew this. The girl did it on purpose and didn't try to expose it. Instead, she chuckled and said, "It's Zhang's honor."
The most tenderness of the lowered head is like the shyness of a water lotus that cannot bear the cool breeze Although he has experienced all kinds of women and has always been accompanied by several beauties who are as beautiful as gods, Zhang Hanqing still fell in love with Liao Yaquan at a glance. The graceful figure immediately drew away his soul.

Chapter 920 The Bourne Supremacy
??
"I didn't expect that there was such a woman around the young marshal. Liao Yaquan was very interested. The little girl's gossip mentality began to sprout: "Young marshal, where is that Jin Bihui now?"
Jin Bihui, Yoshiko Kawashima, was given to Zhang Zongchang as a gift after she was tortured by Zhang Hanqing and showed up for the last time. A bad girl will be punished by a bad man. After Zhang Zongchang performed a hat trick without wearing a hat, she fell into a miserable situation.
At first, he only suffered the abuse from Zhang Zongchang. He was like a big bull and could not be satisfied no matter what. Fortunately, Niu always gets tired. After a few days, after the novelty was gone and almost all the secrets were lost, Zhang Zongchang rewarded her to his followers who had followed him for many years. As a good way to win over brothers, women are like clothes. Anyway, the young commander wants him to torture her severely.
So, you fight and I come on stage, Kawashima Yoshiko is a bride every day, and men are constantly changing like a revolving lantern, and she is often too tired to even put on clothes.
Just like that, in less than a month, this Manchu princess, who was as beautiful as a fairy and a vicious succubus whose mind was twisted, was tortured to the point of dying. Because she participated in the assassination of the head of state of China, the Japanese government did not ask about her whereabouts. Kawashima Yoshiko, who had no hope, could not bear the inhuman torture on a dark and stormy night. passed away.
Zhang Hanqing didn’t feel any guilt about her death. She is not a woman, but an executioner who is or is destined to be stained with the blood of the Chinese people. She deserved her death for Japan, and she deserved her crime for China.
Therefore, in response to Liao Yaquan's question, he just said lightly: "Dead."
Liao Yaquan's eyes suddenly dimmed, but they regained their bright look in an instant. "Oh," she responded, "Does it sound like the young marshal hates this woman?"
Zhang Hanqing smiled: "There is no hatred, everyone is their own master, and there is no personal hatred, just public anger and national justice." He added: "She is a Japanese spy, and she once tried to assassinate me."
Liao Yaquan was surprised: "Assassinating the young marshal? Is she crazy? There are thousands of troops around the young marshal. Isn't she looking for death!"
Zhang Hanqing laughed loudly: "What about thousands of troops? Miss Liao has listened to storytelling too much! I'm not leading troops to fight now, so why do I need so many people around me? Besides, I always have to go out and interact with the crowd. I can't eat, drink or sleep." Are they all in the military camp?"
He paused and looked at Liao Yaquan: "When we started, there were only one or two divisions in the Fengxuan Army. I was not afraid of the Japanese. They assassinated my father and I many times without success. Now we have 36 armies." There are two million people in the navy and air force. Do you think that just one or two secret agents will casually take my life?"
Liao Yaquan chuckled, and the heavy atmosphere became active again. She raised her clear eyes and said, "This topic is too heavy. Marshal, it's better to think about what to eat today." One sentence not only changed the direction of the conversation, but also invisibly shortened the distance between the two.
Zhang Hanqing thought for a while: "But you reminded me that Dalian has been occupied by Japan for thirty years. It is inevitable that the good and the good will be mixed for a while. For the sake of safety, I will treat you to a meal in the military camp.
Although the food in the headquarters is not as good as the big hotels and guesthouses outside, it is safe and clean at least. You can't see what our military is like in school, so it might as well let you experience it. As far as I know, military training is now required for freshmen entering universities. Miss Liao can see what the real army is like. "
Liao Yaquan nodded expectantly: "The young marshal's army is famous all over the world. It is of course a dream for my little girl to have the opportunity to experience it personally."
While he was talking, he had already arrived at Zhang Hanqing’s temporary base, the Dalian Special Security Headquarters. This is also the temporary headquarters of the Bohai Fleet. The original site was the Japan South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. Because it was wartime, it was heavily guarded and governed local security in Dalian, Lushun, Jinzhou and other former Kanto Prefectures.
Now, in addition to the successive establishment of municipal people's governments, Dalian's police station and armed police force and other key departments are temporarily controlled by this organization.
Zhang Hanqing politely asked Liao Yaquan to get out of the car and arranged a dinner, and diligently invited Liao Yaquan to visit the headquarters.
From afternoon to evening, as a guest hosted by the young marshal himself, Liao Yaquan received great respect: the originally taboo military-controlled area completely opened the door to her, and the top secret minds in Dalian quickly got to know this young and beautiful woman. girl.
Liao Yaquan, whose correct age is 19, seems to be very popular with the young marshal. She was born in Shanghai, so she speaks a soft-spoken dialect. She speaks the same Shanghainese dialect as Soong Meiling and Sheng Aiyi, but there is a huge difference: she is delicate but somewhat wild, and she can ride a horse, which gives Zhang Hanqing a sense of freshness. .
It’s getting late, Zhang Han?Han Qing’s. If you ask him about his background and abilities, it is enough to mention that he is the nephew of Zhang Zuoxiang, member of the Central Standing Committee of the People's Party, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission and Commander-in-Chief of the Army. He just left Waseda University in Japan not long ago.
“I say leaving because when the Sino-Japanese War was about to begin, Zhou Jingwen, an important relative of the Chinese leader, left Japan early, one year before he graduated. As compensation, and out of respect for Zhang Zuoxiang and the need to cultivate a talent echelon, Zhang Hanqing took the initiative to transfer him to the Central Office as secretary. In fact, he was the former adjutant responsible for security affairs.
When talking to his own people, Zhang Hanqing was even more sincere. However, Zhou Jingwen did not dare to assume the role of a junior among his peers under his uncle's instructions, and always treated Zhang Hanqing with utmost respect, which made Zhang Hanqing helpless. According to seniority, he can also be regarded as his little cousin.
Zhou Jingwen thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, young marshal. According to my investigation, this girl named Liao Yaquan is unusual." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 921 Mission: Impossible
??
Zhang Hanqing is already famous all over the world, holds a high position of power, and is the determined successor of the country ahead of his uncle and second in the People's Party. His influence in the political and military circles is amazing, and he has great influence on the woman he likes. There is a certain risk involved in making bad comments.
But Zhang Hanqing is not a mediocre person. Zhou Jingwen dares to give advice to him, which itself shows his loyalty. This is using a person's best character, right or wrong comes second. He smiled and said, "Oh, come and see."
Zhou Jingwen is from the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Whether it is a woman who is close to the young marshal, or a woman who is close to the young marshal, the General Office of the Central Committee is obliged to conduct a detailed investigation. When Liao Yaquan came with the young marshal, the keen staff of the Ministry of National Security around him began to investigate her.
The results showed that Liao Yaquan's life experience was stated to be from Dalian, but due to the lack of information due to the Japanese occupation at that time, it is now impossible to verify; before she was 13 years old, she lived in Shanghai, and then it was said that both her parents died during this period, and she became As a young out-of-school youth, there was a long gap period; but when she came to Dalian again, she was already 17 years old.
Based on the results of this investigation, Zhou Jingwen discovered a very important piece of information: she did not have any major relatives around her, but she was well-educated and had a good command of both English and Italian. She can ride a horse skillfully and dance gracefully. These are the favorites of the darlings of the middle and upper class society, but they are by no means something that a girl who has lost her source of livelihood can master easily.
“Moreover, Ciano didn’t know her before, but he decided to directly ask her to translate. This was too much of a coincidence.
Zhou Jingwen was very determined to advise the young marshal. The entire conclusion was just an inference without any evidence. If the young marshal questions his loyalty because he dotes on women, it will definitely not be a blessing for him as a fledgling young man. So after he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Hanqing anxiously to see what he would say.
Zhang Hanqing was still tepid, he said with a smile: "Jingwen, is this just your guess?"
Zhou Jingwen’s heart skipped a beat as if he felt the weight of the word “guess.”
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, this is an ancient Chinese saying that has been around for thousands of years. Zhang Hanqing is not a king, but he definitely has more power than any monarch in history: Zhang Zuolin gave him the power to make final decisions on important military and state affairs. Within the People's Party, he is also the person who enjoys the final decision-making power. For many things, as long as he gives an order, countless people will take care of it.
No matter how you say it, there is no turning back. Now that you have given advice, escaping will not help. So Zhou Jingwen nodded his head and said: "Yes, Marshal, this is my personal guess based on the above information."
Zhang Hanqing suddenly clapped his hands and said: "The people cultivated by Uncle Eight are different. It seems that I was right to transfer you to my side." He smiled slightly and said: "Your guess is correct, Liao Yaquan is completely Japanese spy!"
Shock! Zhou Jingwen looked at him in astonishment.
How can it be! It wasn't that he was surprised by the young marshal's conclusion. In fact, he already had some premonitions. But, how did the young marshal know this, just based on the flirting in the past three days?
“Liao Yaquan’s Japanese name is Minamizo Yunko, and her father Minamizojiro is a veteran spy.
She was born in Japan, and her master was Kenji Tongdouihara of China. She knew shooting, blasting, makeup, poisoning and other specialized skills. At the age of 13, she was sent back to the domestic spy school in Kobe, and was later sent to Dalian. Her identity as a Northeastern University student is just a means to hide her identity. "
Zhou Jingwen looked calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil. Out of sensitivity to the safety of the young marshal, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China spent a lot of effort to find some information. However, the young marshal knew the inside story that even the national security department found difficult to understand. The amount of information contained was too great. Could it be that the Marshal has other channels besides the Ministry of National Security? Never heard of it? terrible! Fortunately, my uncle and I didn’t have any second thoughts!
In fact, this is just another manifestation of Zhang Hanqing’s advantage in time travel.
As a die-hard fan of World War II, he had the honor to watch the program "Legends of World War II", in which the "Revisit" section talked about Nan Zao Yunzi's "great achievements". The only reason I can remember her is because her photo (or actress?) is so beautiful. Man, the memory of beautiful things is amazing.
In that program, the beautiful spy whose pseudonym is Liao Yaquan is almost omnipotent. Putting aside the conflicts between the nation and the country, she is worthy of praise. She is also called "Japan's No. 1 Spy" in the film.
“I didn’t expect that I had just sent away Yoshiko Kawashima and ushered in a new generation.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????))?????????????????????? In Japan, where everyone is short, there would be such a slender and dewy beauty. Is she only one in a million, or a rare flower in a million, right?
What he doesn’t know is that he has long been a Japanese spy., let her continue to lurk to obtain important information.
But what they never dreamed of was that they were dealing with a fake young marshal, and Zhang Hanqing, who came from a later generation, knew her tricks very well. Time travel is awesome!
He did not expose her, but started to rebel. Such a good opportunity, if we don't mess with the Japanese, we will be in vain to get such a good hand! Unexpectedly, I was also the target of a human bomb attack, but this is very easy to understand. Who gave me a reputation for being romantic?
So he said to the wide-eyed Zhou Jingwen: "I decided to make good use of this rare chess piece, and I will gradually mix the intelligence I want them to do with some of our less important intelligence. She handed over her hand. For this plan to raid the Japanese mainland, you and Commander Guo have a single line of contact. You must make it more realistic and louder to let the Japanese know our determination.
"We can do whatever we can to reduce the pressure on the Navy." ”?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 922 Truce
??
??He told the truth.
Since the Japanese navy realized the difficulties and dangers of entering the Bohai Bay, they changed their strategy. In addition to dispatching some warships to blockade the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea north of the Yangtze River in China, he also dispatched several squadrons to attack major coastal cities and ports, causing chaos in the entire north and causing his plan to expand the war in Korea to fail.
This is because the Nanjing, Jinan, and Beijing military regions faced the threat of Japanese landing and did not dare to let go, while several military regions in the interior were almost exhausted and no longer had the strength to add more troops to the East Asian battlefield.
Zhou Jingwen was convinced. A young marshal is a young marshal, and he can see his opportunities when picking up girls! He asked with some admiration: "Young Marshal, is this plan fake?"
Zhang Hanqing laughed: "Of course, do you think I would be so stupid as to destroy the navy with such an idea? The Japanese combined fleet has blocked the entire East China Sea. Our warships will be discovered as soon as they go to sea. In the vast sea, where can we let them go? Hide! Moreover, even if we rushed to Wugang with our little possessions, we would be beaten in vain. Their shore artillery can hit us much farther than ours!"
He suddenly sighed: "If our warships had one-tenth of their firepower, I would really dare to do this!"
When Liao Yaquan conveyed this important information to the Japanese military intelligence headquarters, the intelligence department, which had not achieved much for a long time, immediately notified the Navy Department and the Prime Minister urgently. Everyone was shocked by this incredible news.
This is indeed the most important thing that the Japanese people cannot tolerate. For the local people who have not experienced war for decades, war is far away. The invincible glory of the locust army overseas also stimulates their desire to further conquer overseas territories. . If even one artillery shell hits the four islands, the myth of the invincibility of the locust army will be shattered, and the confidence of the Japanese people will collapse.
Therefore, with an attitude of preferring to believe what they have or not, a series of important ports such as Yokosuka Governor's Office and Kure Governor's Office have raised their security levels. The remaining intelligence personnel in mainland China have to regard the movements of the three fleets as a priority task. , the combined fleet also sent several teams to monitor the movements of the three fleets huddled in the port.
To their surprise, there were indeed changes in China's so-called "three major fleets": the Yangtze River Fleet was said to have conducted a massive drill on the Jiangyin River, the South China Fleet conducted a cross-shore attack drill, and the Bohai Fleet was scattered in Qingdao and Changdao. It is really impossible to monitor the islands, but according to the Chinese military's own words, the "Hairong" and other three cruisers are out at Huludao for training
It is too coincidental that the three fleets are training at the same time. Who knows that they are not conducting a surprise attack under the guise of training? The Japanese Navy has used this technique too often.
In fact, it was a small-scale training session that Guo Songling conducted between battles to train the graduates of the Naval Command Academy. However, the Japanese Intelligence Headquarters greatly appreciated Liao Yaquan's intelligence and looked forward to her performance again.
When the Japanese navy was overwhelmed by false intelligence, the once stalemate on the Korean battlefield changed.
After the Chinese army survived the initial panic caused by the chaos of the 3rd Army, thanks to the courage of its subordinate divisions and division artillery regiments, it finally stabilized its formation for the timely insertion of the 100th Division. Later, with the assistance of the 2nd Army They turned defeat into victory and finally pushed the front line to the Soyang River and Han River.
Autumn has come, and autumn in North Korea is already quite cold. Many troops coming from the southwest and central China are not even prepared for winter cotton-padded clothes. There are also quite a few southern soldiers who have never experienced heavy snow and ice in their lives. Without equipment and experience, it will be more difficult to fight this battle.
Anticipating that it would still be a long process for Japan to take the initiative to relent, Zhang Hanqing, while tightening his coat, decided to rotate officers and soldiers into the DPRK again.
Because the three armies of the Chengdu Military Region were among the first batch to participate in the war, the southwest defense was somewhat weak. Originally, Britain's hands and feet on the Tibetan side were still clean, but during the fierce fighting between China and Japan, he wanted to extend a finger. So these three armies were transferred back. The battle was fought in an orderly manner, and we can give an explanation to the people in central Sichuan.
The 2nd and 3rd armies of the Lanzhou Military Region have just joined the battle group and are on the front line of the battle, so there is no need to rush to replace them. Moreover, they have usually experienced severe cold. Although the severe cold in the northwest and northeast is very different, they always have some experience in resisting the cold.
The 18th and 21st armies of the Wuhan Military Region will continue to stay here soon after entering the DPRK. Zhang Hanqing believes that the remaining two armies can take the opportunity to merge into the Lanzhou and Chengdu Military Regions and realize the abolition of the Wuhan Military Region. Historically, this has been done after the domestic situation stabilized. It doesn't make much sense to have an additional administrative team.
Because the army has not moved, several major military region leaders have also been consulted and relocated to other military regions. Therefore, even if the Korean battlefield is fierce, there is basically no turmoil in personnel changes here.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The 7th Army and the 26th Cavalry Army were both placed under the Lanzhou Military Region. In addition, Zhang Chengde, commander of the 4th Army of the Nanjing Military Region, was promoted to deputy commander of the Lanzhou Military Region to lead Yu Zhen.
Although Yu Zhen is an old Fengtian and has the advantage of being upright and conscientious, she goes too far. During the Fengtian era, she was called "Old Mongolia". Later, she could not catch up with Zhang Hanqing's idea of ??forming a modern army. Letting Zhang Hanqing's old subordinate Zhang Chengde go to Lanzhou would pave the way for a natural transition later.
In order to unify the organization, the Mongolian Construction Corps was once again placed under the jurisdiction of the Lanzhou Military Region as a group, and Zhang Chengde concurrently served as the commander of the Corps.
Zhao Ronghua, the former chief of staff of the Wuhan Military Region, was promoted to deputy commander of the Shenyang Military Region, replacing Liang Zhongjia, who had gone to North Korea; Pei Chunsheng, director of the Political Department, was transferred to director of the Political Department of the Beijing Military Region; Commander Wan Fulin was promoted to the second deputy commander-in-chief of the General Staff Headquarters, assuming the former deputy The work of Chief of Staff Ji Yiqiao.
Regarding Wan Fulin’s new position, some people privately believe that this is the Marshal’s first major purge of the system of Congress Chairman Wu Dashuai after three years.
“Don’t you see, the young marshal has even abolished the Wuhan Military Region? Marshal Wu's right-hand man, Wan Fulin, was appointed as the "nominal" deputy chief of staff by a high-ranking official from Fangfang. He was obviously promoted but secretly demoted. Wu Junsheng, who was the most powerful competitor after Lao Zhang was assassinated, will now start to step aside?
However, after entering Beijing, Wan Fulin immediately fell into a hectic work and couldn't get out of his mind to think about whether to be promoted or demoted.
In this way, the Chinese army in North Korea has a total of 8 organized corps and the 1st and 2nd construction corps. At this point in the war, it was necessary to clarify the two designations formed to confuse the Japanese. Therefore, the Central Military Commission ordered these two armies to cancel the establishment of the Construction Corps and replace them with the 37th and 38th Army of the People's Army.
In order to force Japan to lower its stance, the People's Army needed another great victory to make the Japanese government realize that the previous unrealistic peace conditions were a joke, so Ji Yiqiao used this rare time to start attacking the North Korean troops. To integrate.
All 10 armies are divided into three corps: Eastern Corps, Western Corps, and Central Corps. The three corps coordinate with each other to ensure a steady attack, and when attacking, all fist troops can shoulder the heavy responsibility.
The Eastern Corps is composed of the 2nd, 27th, and 37th Corps, and its commander is Song Jiuling, the commander of the 2nd Corps; the Western Corps is composed of the 3rd, 29th, and 38th Corps, and its commander is concurrently commander of the 29th Corps Liang Zhongjia; Middle | The Central Corps is composed of the 14th, 18th, and 30th armies. Shang Zhen, commander of the 18th army, serves as the commander, and Song Zheyuan's 21st army serves as the general reserve force.
Because Ji Xing's mistake was a bad start, in order to strictly enforce military discipline, the North Korean commander Ji Yiqiao, with Zhang Hanqing's consent, dismissed his post as commander of the 3rd Army. Hu Zhen, commander of the 9th Division, acted as commander.
Hui De'an, commander of the 8th Division, was promoted to deputy commander, and Zheng Dianqi, commander of the 7th Division, was appointed chief of staff of the army. All three were awarded first-class individual merit and first-class collective merit. Artillery regiment leaders Liu Yanji, Li Hongliang and others were promoted to the front line and joined the ranks of acting division commanders of the People's Army. After the war, rewards will be given based on merit and promotions will be made according to rank. None of them, such as lieutenant general or major general, will be able to escape.
At the same time, Chaosi notified the entire army of the incident, tightened discipline, and quickly stabilized the morale of the military caused by the problem of the 3rd Army's general. All armies also understand a truth: if you act according to orders, you will be rewarded for your merits; if you act against orders, you will be punished even if you win. At the same time, the promotion and meritorious service of several officers of the 3rd Army made other brother units jealous.
The soldiers have a fighting spirit, their morale is high, and the People's Army is a hundred times more willing to fight.
??Internationally, countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States are getting tired of this destined to be a protracted war. The Japanese navy's blockade of China has suspended China's foreign trade and virtually prevented them from making trade fortunes.
Following Italy, U.S. Secretary of State Frank Kellogg issued a statement, strongly hoping for a truce between the two countries and recommending that the League of Nations investigate the war. The League of Nations made rapid progress this time and sent a joint delegation headed by Sir Lytton. This Litton is the famous person in later history who mediated the September 18th Incident.
Americans’ “expectations” are still very strong, and at least Japan has expressed cautious approval. Zhang Hanqing knew that the Japanese wanted to take this opportunity to carry out war mobilization and logistical supplies, because although the Sino-Japanese conflict was instigated by them, they were still caught off guard by such a big fight and the People's Army advancing so fast in North Korea.
They urgently need to make war deployments, because before, they passively welcomed the attacks of the People's Army, which also limited their performance - they have always believed that the real combat power of the Japanese army should never be like this Looks like. At the same time, they also need supplies, and they also have to spend time transporting heavy artillery and tanks - some time ago, they only focused on the performance of the Chinese People's Army.
Zhang Hanqing also needs some time: China's relatively large industrial machinery has begun to prepare for war. In the previous stage, more than 40 artillery regiments almost used up more than half of the artillery shells in the Shenyang Military Region. The great power of artillery is also one of the reasons why the spirit of Japanese Bushido cannot be displayed in artillery fire. The Chinese army also needs to prepare for winter offensives.
So when the joint investigation team was first established, Zhang Hanqing declared in Dalian that he respected the recommendations of the League of Nations and welcomed the arrival of the investigation team. In response, he declared that the People's Army would cease all military operations in North Korea for ten days if the Japanese army did not provoke.
Therefore, when both warring parties are willing to truce, the rumbling gunfire on the Korean Peninsula has rarely stopped. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)More than a few shells.

Chapter 923: Strengthen your troops
??
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement designating Zhang Hanqing as the plenipotentiary representative of the Korean battlefield, so the joint investigation team came directly from the sea to Dalian. Since Zhang Hanqing arrived here, it has become the center of activities for all parties. Now that the National League team is coming, it will immediately become the focus of attention at home and abroad.
While waiting, Zhang Hanqing was not idle. From the time Ciano brought the Japanese's conditions for a truce, he knew that there was no good in this matter. If the Japanese really proposed a truce, it would not work without causing pain and making them feel that the war could not continue.
It’s quite a match with Japan. So during this period, he reflected on the performance of the Chinese army and navy and made many improvements accordingly. Although he has the advantage of time travel, after all, he did not really come into contact with the military in his previous life, and many things were mostly done on paper.
Premature reliance on naval aviation is an example. If it weren't for the selfless sacrifice of the pilots of the Bohai Fleet, if it weren't for Wang Xiaohu's fatal blow, and Zhang Chao's extraordinary ability to seize the opportunity, destroy the "Izumo" and greatly frighten the Japanese ship, at this time, he would probably In a desperate situation, we are filling holes in the major cities in the Bohai Bay.
Before the war, the Japanese navy’s ravages on China’s coastal cities had been anticipated, so even though nearly five squadrons of excellent pilots were sacrificed, it was all worthwhile and the best result for China.
Zhang Hanqing’s reflection is that he was too forward-thinking and did not deeply realize that the capabilities of the aviation force in this era were far from being comparable to that of his later generations.
The value ratio between aircraft and 10,000-ton ships is one-thousandth in this era, but only one-twentieth in later generations. So although the general direction is correct, it will take a long time to get to this point, at least The level of the aircraft must be raised to a big level. Therefore, his correction is to make up for the lesson of the 203mm large naval gun in the future. Of course, there is no need to overcorrect.
The same goes for tanks. Although it has the correct theoretical direction, Chinese tanks also performed brilliantly in the Battle of Kanto Prefecture, but the battle damage rate of more than 30% (most of which were broken down) really does not compliment its effectiveness. This was just a battle.
Moreover, the T-20 has an unusually small tank gun caliber (57mm), almost vulnerable armor, and is not much faster than infantry running at full speed. I can’t believe that he also naturally boasted about the role of tanks to the future three German Nazi heroes. , and the three heroes devoutly approved of his theory!
On the Korean battlefield, due to the extremely mountainous terrain, infantry can easily block the movement of tanks by relying on simple fortifications. The 57mm caliber of the T-20 tank is too small, not even comparable to the 37mm infantry gun.
It’s not that I don’t want to change to a large-caliber cannon, but because the previous industrial foundation was so poor and the power level was low, it was already quite difficult to push small cannons. This also led to the small size of this tank, so the space was small, not to mention the comfort of the crew, and it was unable to withstand continuous combat. This was one of the reasons why such a great hero was not seen in the few battles after entering the DPRK.
The T-20 also exposed the problem of ammunition mismatch with infantry, which increased logistical difficulties and made it impossible to share ammunition with artillery during intense periods of war. Considering the requirements for large-scale armored warfare in the future, armored infantry, tank troops, and artillery will need to be able to coordinate and fight together in the future, and the construction of universal cannons has been put on the agenda.
It has been five or six years since the T-20 was designed. China has already developed a more powerful diesel engine. The Qinhuangdao Machinery Research Institute (the code name of the tank development factory) has also designed a larger, thicker armor, weighing 25 Tons of new varieties——Type 27.
Because Zhang Hanqing did not expect the war to come so quickly, and he also knew that tank technology was advancing by leaps and bounds during World War II. In order to avoid producing too many outdated weapons and divert limited funds to economic development, only one tank of this kind was produced.
Now Zhang Hanqing regrets it. In the defense industry, there are some things that cannot be taken advantage of. Better equipment is the result of continuous improvement after discovering deficiencies in a large number of practices. Therefore, on the night of the Battle of Kanto Prefecture, he ordered the new tanks to start to be equipped with 75mm cannons - to provide 75mm or above artillery common in fortifications when possible, so as to achieve universal use for both infantry and artillery.
The huge practical obstacle to blitzkrieg or armored armies is the use of artillery. However, the experience of predecessors (or descendants?) shows that without accompanying artillery and infantry, the battlefield survival rate of tanks alone is not high. Because in the process of tank development, anti-tank guns, stronger fortifications, anti-tank mines, etc. are all its nemesis.
For tanks to be effective, they need artillery and infantry that are also mobile.
At that time, there was no concept of self-propelled artillery in all countries in the world. All large-caliber guns were horse-drawn or towed and did not have cross-country capabilities. It was a miracle to travel 20 or 30 kilometers a day, which could not keep up with the advancement speed of armored forces.
according toAccording to Zhang Hanqing's idea, the Qinhuangdao Mechanical Research Institute designed a tracked howitzer based on the body of the Type 27 tank. The caliber is 125mm, which is common for army support firepower. This technology is already quite mature, and Zhang Hanqing put it into use. Named 霹雳27 (pl-27, does it sound familiar?).
With this pl-27, tank troops can finally get fire support at any time without relying on the shortcoming of towed artillery that can only travel on roads. This is a great boost to its battlefield survival.
Based on the same base, the infantry accompanying tank bz-27 also came into being. It can carry an infantry squad of 12 people at a time and is equipped with a heavy machine gun.
Using this as a blueprint, Zhang Hanqing began to secretly form an armored division in the Beijing garrison, consisting of an armored regiment, three motorized infantry regiments, and a self-propelled artillery regiment as the core: the First Armored Division. The soldiers are mainly selected from the original T-20 members, the command system remains the same, and the division commander is still Wang Wensheng, but the structure has changed and the weapon configuration has changed.
The armored regiment has 93 tanks, and the armored infantry regiment has 31 tanks per regiment, for a total of 186 tanks. Relying on the country's strong industrial capabilities, after the industrial capabilities are fully transformed into military capabilities, the equipment will be in place in less than half a year. Because it's just a change of uniforms, the officers and soldiers will become familiar with it quite quickly. It won't be long before this unit will be formed.
If peace fails, we will still fight. Now is the time to prepare for a rainy day.
Weapons of attack are being prepared, and the King of Destruction is not idle either.
On the Korean battlefield, infantry requires more direct-aimed artillery to destroy simple fortifications. The 75mm field artillery is of great use in North Korea's mainly mountainous terrain, whether for attack or defense.
But poor traffic conditions have also restricted its use, especially in the recent two fierce battles. The inability of artillery to keep up with the advance of infantry also caused the People's Army to modify its use.
Since the mobility is not good, considering the convenience in logistics and other aspects, in terms of organization, the field artillery companies in the infantry regiments were cancelled, and the field artillery companies of the three regiments were organized into a new cannon battalion. Directly join the divisional artillery regiment.
This is also the conclusion reached by European commanders after a long period of exploration: "Field artillery firepower must be concentrated" and "the greatest number of artillery must be concentrated in an area as much as possible and placed under the command of a single commander" practice.
In this way, the front-line combat units of the People's Army are decentralized to the battalion (the battalion has a heavy-fire mortar company), and the regiment becomes a logistics and command organization.
Working behind closed doors will never lead to military development as quickly as actual combat. Two months of massive artillery battles have accumulated a lot of experience for the People's Army artillery.
Feedback from various ministries shows that the requirement for suppressive firepower is a major benefit in reducing infantry personnel losses in modern warfare. Therefore, the smaller caliber 75mm and 105mm howitzers began to be tilted towards theaters with inconvenient transportation such as the northwest and southwest, and the newly added troops They are all 125mm and 155mm heavy howitzers.
This is also another conclusion drawn by major military powers from the Boer War: "Only heavy enough artillery shells are enough to dig out enemy infantry from their bunkers."
In the future, the Chinese army’s artillery force will only have three calibers of artillery: 125mm and 155mm medium and heavy howitzers, and 75mm cannons. In the future, the 75mm cannon will jump directly to the 125mm caliber. In Zhang Hanqing's idea, efforts to tap the potential of these guns, especially the 125mm gun, which can be used as the main force of the artillery, will be of great benefit to the improvement of military strength.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away, the cannons of all countries in the future are still developing towards 125 and 127mm? Moreover, in his plan, the caliber of the self-propelled artillery is also 125mm, which not only achieves universal ammunition, but also allows China to concentrate its efforts to achieve a breakthrough in one direction.
This technological breakthrough will also bring benefits to the navy: the development of land artillery technology can assist the young Chinese navy's equipment capabilities, making "land artillery on ships" become everyone's expectation. As we all know, in Zhang Hanqing's naval development plan, the 125mm naval gun is a big deal and can be used by all types of warships.
Although a naval gun is essentially a cannon, which is somewhat different from a howitzer, its process capabilities, design capabilities, and forging technology are universal.
Later, there were many examples of "ship gun landing". For example, the 76mm tank gun was a cannon, directly transformed from the three-inch naval gun; the tank turret was connected to the ship, which was a real naval gun. However, some of the 76mm guns attached to the hull of early landing ships did not have the flexible electric operation of tank turrets, so the effect was not good.
??Chinese defense experts used it contrary to their intentions, but they also achieved brilliant achievements in the future. This is a story for another day.
Because, as main battle tanks become larger, it is also a general trend to equip them with a 125mm caliber. Even now, the 75mm caliber can be used with cannons of the same caliber that the Chinese infantry has begun to equip, rejuvenating the large number of outdated cannons in the stockpile.
Because of the increase in tank tonnage, the previous 37mm anti-tank guns no longer pose a threat to it. Under this circumstance, the Chinese infantry will also use 75mm cannons as the main anti-tank force in the future.
The advantage of this is that each arm has reduced the types of artillery to the greatest extent, which brings great convenience to logistics and equipment.
Various changes have invisibly enhanced the strength of the People's Army. Diplomacy has always been the basis of national strength. Nowadays, national strength is, to the greatest extent, its national defense capability and the quality of its war machine. In order to maintain a favorable psychological position in negotiations, military preparations must not be ignored.

Chapter 924 Jungle Era
??
Japan’s successive military defeats in the Far East have surprised countless observers. The one-sided victory that everyone thought was not going to Japan, but to China, which has always been treated as the "sick man of East Asia." This made countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, which claimed to have major interests in China, very uneasy.
Britain is already hostile to China, and this awareness has become even stronger since the arrogant British Empire was slapped hard in the May 30th Incident. However, China under the leadership of the People's Party | has been rejuvenated. Its huge army, solid internal fortresses, support from the Chinese people, and super economic strength have allowed them to stop and withdraw their troops hastily.
At the beginning of the Kanto State and Korean War, Britain very much expected Japan to deal a fatal blow to China. In this way, we can avenge the original killing without using any weapons. Why not? If China is defeated, the British government will not hesitate to train new agents to take over the mess left by the Fengtian defeat. How beautiful!
Even the United States, which is relatively friendly to China, believes that China's rapid modernization under the leadership of the People's Party is not in the interests of the United States: a China that is forced to interrupt the process of national construction, a country that has part of its territory dismembered and merged A China that is always under threat is in the best interest of the United States.
Similarly, the best way to ease the pressure on the U.S. Navy and Army in the Western Pacific is to plunge Japan, which is constantly threatening U.S. interests in Asia, into a destined to be endless war with China.
A U.S. State Department official asserted that the resolution of the Sino-Japanese dispute may be harmful to U.S. interests and that it would be better to let Japan fall into an indecisive struggle in a region where the United States has no major interests; allowing "the principles of our Far East policy and peace ideal” and “suffering further minor damage”.
Therefore, the United States has long adopted "killing with a borrowed knife" as the guiding ideology of its Far East policy. On the one hand, it encouraged Japan to become enemies of the Soviet Union and China, suppressed the big and small Bolsheviks in the Far East, and on the other hand, avoided conflicts between Japan and the United States. This destined the United States to only make empty moral condemnations of Japan's invasion of China, and it was impossible to actually intervene.
In official history, Britain and the United States made even more compromises with Japan. Even when the Northern Expeditionary Army was about to cross the river to resolve the Zhili Army's unification of the whole of China on December 12, 1928, the Japanese invaders created an extremely provocative and deliberate incident: an attack on the Nanjing River. After sinking an American ship, resulting in the deaths of more than a dozen Americans, the United States still showed amazing "endurance" and dealt with it calmly. It continued to provide loans and sell strategic materials to Japan.
Its purpose is to prevent the reunification of China. The United States and the United Kingdom have already exchanged interests with Japan. On the one hand, they hope to protect their own interests in China, and on the other hand, they hope that Japan will attack the Soviet Union.
Now, Britain and the United States still support Japan.
The United States and the United Kingdom even announced their support for Japan's actions: In October 1928, U.S. President Hoover made a public speech in support of Japan's interests in Kanto State and Korea: "To protect the lives and property of Japanese nationals, Japan's invasion of Manchuria and Korea is a Inevitable”, “…we cannot raise objections.”
He also believes that "it is China's unilateral actions to change the status quo that have led to the deterioration of the situation in the Far East, which is disturbing"
British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin also said: "My sympathies are entirely with Japan." A few months ago, their representatives in the League of Nations were hypocritically asking China to "restrain." Now, they themselves have come to the forefront.
Therefore, after hearing that Ciano had brought the news that Japan hoped to cease war with the Chinese army in Korea, the British, American and other governments sent a large number of diplomatic missions. One set off to Dalian, China, and the other went directly to Japan. Their mission is to try to destroy this possibility.
What situation is beneficial to them? Of course, China, a rising political star, fell, and Japan, a traditional power, was crippled. It is always easier to strike at a potential opponent when it has not yet grown up and has fledgling wings than when it has grown into a towering tree; and as long as China and Japan fight against each other, with the strong bull of China, they will always be able to attack them when they are about to die. Tired up the Japanese wolf.
The best result for the United States is: China can drag Japan into the water. In their hearts, China is bound to lose. However, this kind of defeat would be best if it hurts Japan. In this way, Japan will not be able to covet the power of the United States in the Pacific after the war, and it may be able to maintain it for a longer period of time. balance of power.
However, the reality was exactly the opposite of what they expected. In this way, they have to face up to the fact: Will China, carrying the residual power of victory, threaten their interests in China?
After all, when dealing with a powerful government, some tough tactics can no longer be used. What if the Chinese government wants to terminate the unequal treaty with them? The tough marshal Zhang Hanqing had already done this a few years ago, and under his pressure, more than 80% of the concessions were forced to be returned to China.
We need to start preventing this process.Doesn’t Japan have a weak army? we support!
Since Japan’s industrial capabilities are really not enough to support a high-intensity all-out war, the United States kindly sent good things to calm the Japanese: artillery and cars.
The United States formed 62 infantry divisions during World War I. Each division had two artillery battalions with 24 75mm guns and one 155mm artillery battalion with the same organization. After the war, the United States quickly downsized its army to only 10 infantry divisions due to the war-weariness of the government and the opposition.
After the war, military technology has developed greatly. For the United States, a large number of 75mm guns have long been eliminated, and its 155mm guns are also quite outdated. In this case, it might be a good idea to sell these overstocks to Japan. As we all know, due to the backwardness of Japan's mechanical industry, its army artillery has always been stuck at the stage of using horses to tow, and the caliber has also been stuck at the 75mm stage.
No need to wonder why Japan can build sixteen-inch (406.4mm) naval guns, but cannot build land guns exceeding 75mm. The reasons for this are, first, the determination to compete with naval powers such as Britain and the United States in the Pacific, and second, the lack of inconvenient and backward transportation restrictions at sea.
In Japan, in the former Northeast China, and in North Korea, road transportation is not good, large-caliber artillery transportation is inconvenient, and the key is that there is no strong opponent.
The People's Army under the leadership of Zhang Hanqing also had a solid foundation. By relying on the industrial foundation it had laid, by introducing production lines from the Soviet Union and artillery technicians from Germany, they suddenly switched from shotguns to cannons, which really caught Japan off guard.
For the Chinese people who have been bullied many times, trains and ships were once an innovative direction to build a strong body. Now, the obsession with modern artillery has quickly made the young People's Army Army stronger.
The precipitation of industry is a process. Although Japan also consciously developed large-caliber artillery due to the strength of the Chinese Army, because the post-war international atmosphere was not suitable for war, it only equipped a limited number of domestic main forces, even The original Second Division of Kanto Prefecture has not yet been updated.
Even a regiment that is mixed with so-called "large-caliber" artillery is mainly composed of 75mm mountain guns or field guns, supplemented by 105mm light howitzers, which is far inferior to the Chinese Army's 105mm or 125mm mainly, supplemented by 155mm or 75mm. situation.
This also led to the disadvantage that its firepower was not as good as that of the Chinese army, and even its number was several times lower. Facing the well-prepared Chinese army, it is not surprising that the battle ended like this.
During the Korean War, Japan urgently armed nearly twenty reserve divisions. Although the inventory was used, the number of artillery was still insufficient.
At this time, the American messenger came to help. 1,000 light howitzers can equip 20 divisions, as well as 155mm heavy artillery that can equip 10 divisions. It not only makes up for the artillery shortage of the reserve army, but also can replace all the ineffective artillery regiments on the Korean front.
This big American country, which used giant ships and cannons to open the door of Japan's isolation, gave Japan a great insight into what the ever-changing industrial revolution is, and also gave Japan a new look. Putting aside factors of national sentiment, the United States can be said to be the benefactor of modern Japan, and after World War II, it became the benefactor of modern Japan.
Now this benefactor has brought another thing that Japan is in urgent need of: cars. Otherwise, with Japan's industrial capabilities, the 155mm heavy artillery can only be a decoration until a heavy-duty truck is developed. And when it researches and mass-produces cars that can tow artillery, perhaps the Korean War is over!
A total of 3,000 trucks is three times the annual production of all domestic automobiles in Japan, but only a fraction of the 4.5 million produced annually in the United States. This kind of industrial capability is beyond the reach of any country on earth today. Although these trucks are not many, they have solved a big problem for Japan.
The 155mm heavy gun is good, but its transportation pressure is also amazing. Based on the carrying capacity of 6 horses for a 75mm mountain gun and the logistics of another 6 horses, an artillery regiment alone requires 728 horses. If you switch to 155mm, the demand will be at least three times as much! In this way, it would be a headache for a Japanese artillery regiment to just chew horses. Now the problem is initially solved.
Respectable Americans!
Terrible Americans!
With the heavy artillery, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters can arrange their troops with ease, and they are particularly disapproving of the conciliatory noise of a small group of people in the government. What a joke! If the Imperial Army, which has suffered heavy losses, cannot recover its losses, the world will laugh at them! As a result, it not only ruined the political situation that had been finally recognized by the Western powers since the Meiji Restoration, but also indirectly recognized the rise of China.
With thousands of years of in-depth study of this ancient eastern neighbor, once it regains its spirit, what a terrifying opponent it will be!
Because neither China nor Japan declared war on each other, this gave them an opportunity to take advantage of it. Because international law stipulates that if a third country provides military, including material, assistance to a party declaring war, it is essentially a signal to join the war. But when the two sides are only at war rather than declaring war, trade with Japan, including the import of military supplies, becomes legal.
But it’s unreasonable.
But no one will reason with you. As a Russian proverb goes: "The iron rods are criss-crossed and irresistible; if you want to resist, make the iron rod thicker." The great powers that have the right to speak will not reason with you. This world is a big bully. When I was young in the jungle, the only thing that could speak for myself was the gun in my hand.
This is why Zhang Hanqing worked so hard to arm the People's Army to the teeth. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Opportunity.

Chapter 926 Condolence Group
??
Culture Street is called Wenhuadai in Japan, probably because the Japanese are accustomed to calling flat land "machi" and sloping land "dais". During the Japanese occupation of Dalian, this was the residence of the elite of Japan's "Pioneering Corps" in China, surrounded by small villas.
These people are the first batch of experts to enter China and are responsible for intelligence, surveying and mapping in China. They chose this place because of its high terrain and wide view. The tram from the train station to Laohutan Park passes by. In that era, it was considered a blessed place where life was convenient, travel was convenient, and it was quiet amid the hustle and bustle.
After the People’s Army took control of Dalian, it was opened as a window to the Far East and some countries began to apply to build consulates here. Of course, those closest to the water come first, and the "Special Committee on Korean Affairs" established under the authorization of the government of the Republic of China is located here. Zhang Hanqing Xia Ta's residence is also placed here. After all, the condescending location is easy to secure.
The bloody battles of the People's Army in Guandong Prefecture and North Korea made the Chinese people proud, so the country also made great efforts to treat the sick and wounded. Due to Dalian's suitable climate, a large-scale military nursing home began to be built here, and the wounded from the Korean War were initially admitted. As batches of sick and wounded patients entered the hospital, condolence letters from all over the country arrived like snowflakes, providing temporary spiritual comfort to the tragic and tragic patients.
As the wife of the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission and the young lady of the Marshal's Mansion, Yu Fengzhi, in addition to her title of Chairman of the China Women's Federation, also personally served as the leader of the "North Korean Frontline Condolence Group", leading a large number of big names in the literary and art circles and their wives. They crossed the sea from Tianjin to Dalian.
She was organized according to Zhang Hanqing’s opinions. Among them, the Propaganda Department of the People’s Party and the All-China Women’s Federation did a lot of work behind the scenes. At such a moment, it is the duty of a husband to take care of his wife, and Yu Fengzhi no longer cares about the family motto that women should not show up in public.
Although Yu Fengzhi is not a socialite, she can't help but have great influence. She personally came forward to organize this benefit performance with her noble body, which made the ladies and gentlemen in the social circles of Beijing and Tianjin follow this trend and go to the front line of the war against Japan.
At their call, Mei Lanfang, Fu Tong, Liu Xikui, Yuan Keding and others all jumped to participate. They stayed in Dalian for more than 10 days and performed nearly 100 times for the sick and wounded, and received unprecedented praise.
In this era, it is rare for actors to "play tricks". They all contribute to the Korean War for free. Of course, there are inevitably some people who follow the crowd and have bad motives, just to respond and shine, but most of them are motivated by A sincere heart that strives for the country.
"Almost at the same time as them, there was also a group of people called the "Shanghai Battlefield Condolence Group to North Korea", led by Song Meiling, the twin Shu of Shanghai, and Sheng Aiyi, the seventh daughter of the Sheng family. As people around the young commander who had been rumored for a long time, they were not to be outdone.
Song Meiling already had many fans in Shanghai's social circle. After successfully turning the Song family, especially the Kuomintang economic team headed by Kong Xiangxi, overthrown, she had gained the trust of the young marshal, so her influence was also increasing day by day.
Sheng Aiyi was because the Sheng family clearly supported Zhang Hanqing and acted as a vanguard in the "May 30th" economic war, and then received huge rewards later - the Sheng family truly took over the power of Han Yeping Company and developed it Baosteel Group, which has become the largest national capital in China, was named by Zhang Hanqing; while the Song family established the largest China Import and Export Corporation in the country, in which it has a controlling stake.
Both companies are politically and economically integrated with Zhang Hanqing, because what is not known to the outside world is that Zhang Hanqing secretly owns large shares in both giant companies. In order to thank the two Shus for their efforts, Sheng Aiyi's brother Sheng Enyi became a member of the House of Representatives from Shanghai. Song Meiling's brother Song Ziwen also "smiled away their grudges" with Zhang Hanqing and now works in the Ministry of Finance.
However, no matter how much compensation is given to their families, it cannot solve the biggest problem: status.
The ones recognized by the public are one wife and three concubines: Yu Fengzhi, Huang Wanqing, Gu Ruiyu and Yu Yifan. The well-known lover talked about by the public is Wanrong, and the woman who is willing to hide behind him is Liang Qingzhu. Although the two of them have Family background, temperament, beauty and wisdom are not on the stage.
Especially in the past two years, with the situation in all aspects of the country getting on the right track and the protection and promotion of women's status, their young commanders have gradually noticed the impact and have little time to spend with them. The result of this development was that this underground love affair came to an end. Of course, their families were happy to see it come to an end.
Although they have gained a lot of benefits, they are not willing to just hang on like this for the sake of the face of Shanghai's aristocratic family. Even if you can get an informal but recognized identity, it would be nice. Otherwise, would there be any lady who has been an underground lover for thousands of years?
Although the two sisters could not squeeze into the Zhang family's harem openly, they became his mistresses psychologically. Naturally, among the numerous Zhang Hanqing women, they had to do somethingOnly those who are professional can gain special favor. This is the feeling of competing for favor.
Like Yu Yifan, why can the young marshal, who has been in the forefront of the society to advocate the abolition of the concubine system, hold a very popular wedding with her under the spotlight? It’s not the China Newspaper Group she controls that has been cheering for him!
Therefore, although they could not compete with Yu Fengzhi in name, they still wanted to prevent her from being more beautiful than before. They also attracted a group of people from Shanghai to gain a moral place in the feast of the war. . Among this group of people are Ruan Lingyu, who became famous for her role as the heroine of "The Famous Couple", Meng Xiaodong, a Peking opera actor known as the "Winter Emperor", and Tang Ying, who is also a well-known figure in Shanghai
The first two are easy to say. They are both movie actors and famous Peking Opera actors. They are both beauties. They will really make people shine in the army where they are full of masculinity. I dare not say that they can boost the morale of the army, but if they are appropriately adjusted with feminine beauty, they may also be exciting. Take a look at the morale of the officers and soldiers. They were performing on stage, so it was okay to show off, but what about Tang Ying?
She is Shanghai’s leading socialite, the most popular socialite, and a close friend of both her sisters. Shuangshu is here to stand up for her lover, what is she here to do?
Of course, soliciting sponsorship is one aspect. Condolence money and condolence items all require money, and letters of condolence also require beautiful women to read. But do you need to bother with such a radiant figure? A gift worth millions would not need such a delicate beauty to carry it!
Only Shuangshu knows that they are doing it for a common person——Zhang Hanqing!
Since Sheng Aiyi rejected Song Ziwen's love for countless times and resolutely devoted herself to Zhang Hanqing, Song Ziwen and Zhang Hanqing had a lot of quarrels, even to the point of "hiring murderers". Of course, the final outcome was that Zhang Hanqing succeeded in solving the May 30 incident perfectly, which was unexpected, but Liang Zi was settled.
For this reason, Song Ziwen almost went to jail. If he had not taken into account the bad influence of his affair and had just had a fierce fight with Soong Meiling, it would only take a matter of minutes to defeat the Song family. If something like this happens, even the second son-in-law of the Song family, Sun Yixian, can't do anything about it. After all, it has exceeded the bottom line of political struggle.
It is difficult to forget the hatred of killing one's father and taking away one's wife.
“On one side is the brother and on the other side is the lover. For this, Song Meiling put in a lot of effort. After healing Zhang Hanqing's "injured" heart and finally forgiving Song Ziwen, she found a new beauty for her brother, Tang Ying.
There has long been a friendship between the Tang and Song families. The sons of the Tang family, Tang Fulu and Song Ziwen, were good friends and studied together at Yale University in the United States. For this reason, Song Ziwen and Tang Fulu's sister Tang Ying have known each other for a long time. However, Song Ziwen was sixteen years older than Tang Ying. When he was chasing Sheng Aiyi, Tang Ying was only a fifteen-year-old girl, and no one would think about the relationship between men and women.
When Sheng Aiyi confirmed her relationship with Zhang Hanqing, Song Ziwen still did not want to "repent" and continued to harass Sheng Aiyi all the time, which made Soong Meiling extremely painful.
Although she and Sheng Aiyi are love rivals, once they become the young marshal's people, she will have to take care of the young marshal's feelings. Regardless of whether the young marshal took it by chance or by robbery, the fact has already existed. It would be very inappropriate to associate with Sheng Aiyi as before. After all, a man wants to monopolize a woman's feelings.
So he decided to bring his brother and Tang Ying together. With the current status of the Song family, there are not many people in Shanghai who are well-matched, but the Tang family knows everything and Tang Ying's character is trustworthy.
Sheng Aiyi is happy to see the success. Zhang Hanqing fought for love with a sword. In any case, as Song Ziwen's former lover, I felt very sorry for him emotionally.
In fact, it's not that Song Ziwen is not excellent, but relatively speaking, Zhang Hanqing is too excellent: he can bring peace to the country with his literary skills, and he can rule the country with his military skills. He is talented and charming; more importantly, he can bring great vitality to the family, both in public and private affairs. A good match. If Song Ziwen continues to harass her, it will not only make herself tired, but also very likely to get angry.
This newly rising family appears to be prosperous on the surface, but in fact it is unbearable. If love turns into hatred and the friendship between two generations is destroyed, how can you bear it?
It happened that the young marshal was recruiting troops in Dalian, and money was used in all aspects. As a well-known rookie in the Ministry of Finance, Song Ziwen was selected to go to Dalian with elites from more than a dozen other ministries. According to Zhang Hanqing, a comprehensive administrative department was established in Dalian. service center, so that everything does not have to go through the various ministries of the State Council - this is also the young marshal's initiative, and special treatment is given in special times.
Foreign Minister Gu Weijun, Director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee Zhu Guangmu, General Armament Department Minister Zhang Xiaozhun, Air Force Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng Zhenguo, and Navy Equipment Minister Chen Shaokuan all came to Dalian. Not to mention other ministries, they all sent their chiefs or people who can make the final decision, so as to be nearby and faster. The ground serves the young commander's decision-making.
Because resolving the North Korean issue is destined to be a long process, it is inevitable that some family members will follow Yu Fengzhi, or they will be future family members. Among them, Gu Weijun's wife Huang Huilan and Zhu Guangmu's girlfriend Zhu Meijun are both celebrities in Beijing's social circle. Handsome men and beautiful women, Yingyingyanyanyan, have their own flavor.
The two new winds plus the foreign wind blowing from the seaside of Dalian made Zhang Hanqing messy in the wind. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Resolving the North Korean issue is destined to be a long process.

??
There are always many women around Zhang Hanqing. Yu Fengzhi not only knows this very well, but also always obeys silently.
Since the record of blooming red peonies at the age of 16, apart from his first wife, he has had affairs with all kinds of beauties. Xiaojia Biyu-shaped Huang Wanqing, plump and strong "Yangma" Gu Ruiyu with Russian flavor, trendy and sunny like Yu Yifan, docile and pleasant Liang Qingzhu, Queen Wanrong with a temperament as noble as an orchid in the clouds, noble from appearance to heart like the Shengjia Qi Miss Sheng Aiyi, Shanghai socialite Soong Meiling, who is not inferior to men, are too numerous to mention.
The "Company Commander", Tang Yiying, Huang Ruqing and Kawashima Yoshiko who were acting on the occasion were not included, and she had no way of knowing this. There was nothing she could do about the love interest in Zhang Hanqing's heart, and there was nothing she could do about dragging beauties home one after another. Who told her to be deeply in love with this affectionate man?
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT OFFICE
"However, it is necessary to limit the number of people in the harem. They ran to Zhongnanhai one after another, which was looked down upon by some high-ranking officials who had studied abroad and abided by monogamy. After all, Han Qing is now the leader of the Republic of China, so he should be careful about the impact of his coming and going.
Since the incident with Wanrong caused a stir, Zhang Hanqing has calmed down a lot. Also, with one wife, four concubines and three lovers, how much goods can he have in his body? Once all the public and private food is exhausted, one can only be helpless when it comes to female sex.
Yu Fengzhi came here this time because Zhang Hanqing has been in Dalian personally for more than half a month. According to experience, if there is no one around, it is inevitable that there will be more people around.
The harvest from a visit is not small. The performance was praised by the officers and soldiers, and the public opinion also received many praises, which made her, the young mistress of the marshal's house, very proud of her husband. What's even more commendable is that through investigation, I found out that my husband is interested in a girl named Liao Yaquan.
This is an unstable factor. Listen to the legend - she has her own channel - this is a beautiful female translator who is only nineteen years old. She is tall and beautiful, just the type that Han Qing likes.
In fact, Zhang Hanqing likes various types of women. He is truly "universal". The only principle for him to have a good impression of the opposite sex is that they must have noble temperament and be beautiful.
“As long as a girl gives her a chance, Zhang Hanqing is very good at seizing the opportunity.
Without the chance to meet Liao Yaquan, Yu Fengzhi had no choice but to squeeze him dry. Although they have been married for many years, they don't really spend much time together. They spend more time together in the two or three years after entering Beijing, and they have to share it with several wives. Nowadays, it is rare for two people to spend time together, so they are extremely tender.
Zhang Hanqing was in the prime of life and was being teased by Liao Yaquan every day, so he was already ready to make a move, so they got along very harmoniously all night long.
After savoring the taste, Yu Fengzhi talked about family affairs. Why Huang Wanqing merged several food companies, Gu Ruiyu rehearsed the large-scale musical "Yellow River Concerto", Yu Yifan wanted to run for the Senate, Wanrong became the chairman of the China Children's Fund, etc.
She said in a relaxed manner after recounting her family treasures: "We sisters haven't caused any trouble for you, have we?" The Zhang family's harem always refers to sisters, even her niece Yu Yifan is no exception.
Zhang Hanqing, what else can you say? Only when the backyard is as stable as Mount Tai can he be brave and fearless in the front. He stroked Yu Fengzhi's back, which was as smooth as a twenty-eight-year-old beauty: "Thank you for your hard work. I'm so lucky to have you in my family these years. Just like the song "Fifteenth Moon" sings, 'I have half as many military medals as mine.'" Half of you'."
This song was composed by him himself. At the Mid-Autumn Festival party just a dozen days ago, he arranged for several officers and soldiers with good voices in the army to sing at a gala for the wounded and sick soldiers who entered the DPRK and became famous. I don’t know if it was because of the fragility of the injury and the infection of homesickness. There were tears on and off the stage at that time. At that time, he wanted to set up a military Chinese cultural troupe.
The influence of literary and artistic propaganda on the morale of the military has existed since ancient times. Gaixia's embattled army is an example of a successful psychological war. Even the United States knows how to use models and movie stars to recruit troops, which shows that it has a certain effect. However, the military art troupes of later generations have changed. The massive increase in the treatment of non-fighting, military uniforms and talking-mouthed art troupes is far better than that of armed art troupes, which occupy a large amount of military resources. It is more than enough.
At present, the General Political Department is also thinking about how to change the shortcomings of too much propaganda and preaching in the army. The establishment of an art troupe is a good way.
The literary and artistic work of the army is an important part of the political work of the People's Liberation Army in later generations, and the art troupe is an important institution for the literary and artistic work of the army. Due to the special nature of the military, condolence performances in some difficult positions of border and coastal defense require performers to have strong discipline and dedication; some bases and other performance consolation targets have a certain degree of confidentiality;
And some programs that are directly oriented to the military, their creationsShe has been playing obscene music for more than ten years and has a pretty good foundation. Zhang Hanqing only had to give her the tune and hum it a few times, which directly inspired her to create the music, so the most famous violin piece in Chinese history was born thirty years in advance. , completed the creation of the nationalization of symphonic music, and also made Gu Ruiyu famous.
Yu Fengzhi knew about this matter, so he used it to make fun of him. Anyway, he was just in bed, so he was not afraid of others hearing.
Zhang Hanqing let out a long sigh and said: "I used to whip famous horses drunk, for fear that my love would be too much for beautiful women. I'm afraid I won't be able to change my infatuation in this life."
What came back was Yu Fengzhi grabbing him demonstratively in a sensitive place. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 928 How can it be such a mess of words?
??
28-year-old Zhang Hanqing was unanimously decided by the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the People's Party to serve as the Chinese commander-in-chief and final decision-maker in charge of the Korean War. In order to simplify the process, he made the final decision on the Korean People's Army Headquarters in the front and the Special Committee on Korean Affairs in the rear. , so his every move attracts attention from all parties.
Foreign reporters and delegations are concerned about China's next move. People in the social circle are concerned about how to win the young marshal's closeness - whether it is mentally or physically. What his wives and lovers are concerned about is how he treats those around him. What is the attitude of Yingying Yanyan, and of course Liao Yaquan is spying on some information he accidentally revealed from time to time.
????????????????????????????????
Under such circumstances, our young marshal is rare enough to be able to grasp the direction and not be entangled in some family matters. He used righteousness to calm the main palace, used comfort to keep the two sisters restrained, and used ambiguity to close the distance with Liao Yaquan. Anyway, he had a lot of fun.
Perhaps it was the presence of family members that put pressure on Liao Yaquan. Faced with the graceful and dignified young marshal's wife, Song Meiling, who has both Chinese classical temperament and Western elegance, but also has a sharp and shrewd style, as well as those who dare to love, hate, and commit The brave daughter of a prominent family loves Yi, and Liao Yaquan rarely takes the initiative to get close to Zhang Hanqing.
A few days ago, she was playing hard to get, but now she was trying to resist but still wanted to welcome him, but the wife group had arrived, and her attraction to Zhang Hanqing was greatly weakened.
October 21st, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, is the Double Ninth Festival.
"The two groups of condolences have stayed in Dalian for more than ten days. In addition to performing many songs, dances and dramas for the officers and soldiers, they also taught the people of Dalian a modern lesson in the coexistence of modernity and fashion.
By chance, the Shanghai celebrity group headed by Song Sheng met the Pingjin celebrity group. They were competing for favor in front of the young marshal, but there was no intention of competing. Needless to say, Song Sheng among them is a genuine socialite. The so-called socialite refers to the talent accumulated from more than three generations of blood and countless old money.
Even Tang Ying, a rising star, also has an extraordinary background and experience. Her father is the most famous private doctor in Shanghai, specializing in treating wealthy people. With this background, it is relatively easy for Tang Ying to join the upper class society, but she is not considered a socialite. If you always stay with these ladies from upper-class families, you are very likely to become a social butterfly.
"The social butterfly here is not a derogatory term that was later used, but a profession, a high-quality profession with noble taste and the ability to cultivate personal integrity. But it must not be equated with a famous lady.
Because social ladies have received good education and training, they behave well and are familiar with themselves in social situations, and they become more and more fragrant as time goes by; while social butterflies have a utilitarian and short-lived character, and the gap between the two is As far away as Fan Bingbing and her nude double.
Fortunately, Tang Ying lived up to her family's expectations. During her studies at the Chinese and Western Girls' School, which was the predecessor of St. Mary's Girls' School where Zhang Ailing attended, she worked hard to learn dance, English, opera and other essential skills for ladies. Especially in English, she later reached the point of performing the entire "Wang Baochuan" in English, which cannot but be admired by others - even being a socialite requires a lot of effort.
She is beautiful, with a Western-style facial features, and her movements are eye-catching. This year, she has just turned 19, but it is no accident that she and Lu Xiaoman, who is seven years older than her and popular in Beijing and Tianjin, are known as "Southern Tang and Northern China" in the social circle. When wearing cheongsam and high heels, running to the dance floor to dance, who would know the hard work behind that enchanting turn?
There are talented people in every generation, and Song and Sheng Zhuan are not allowed to be more beautiful than before. Tang Ying, who didn't know that the couple actually invited her as someone to heal Song Ziwen's scars, showed off her graceful dancing and slim figure to all walks of life. A girl of eighteen or nineteen is at the age like a flower.
She may not be the most beautiful among many beauties, but she is definitely quite talented. A woman with both beauty and talent is far more eye-catching than a woman with only one advantage. To use a 21st century saying, it probably goes like this: "People who are more beautiful than me are not as smart as me; people who are smarter than me are not as beautiful as me."
Throughout the party, she successfully seized the opportunity among many competitors and danced a song with the young marshal.
According to the Western rules of socializing at the age of sixteen, she was only allowed to enter the social circle by her family in 1926. At that time, she had already missed the grand gatherings of the wealthy families and young marshals in Shanghai. After that grand meeting, Shanghai's two wealthy families, the Bund Sheng Family and the Song Family, reached a higher level. Not only did they gain considerable economic benefits, but they were also at home politically, making many insiders envious of them.
After several years of accumulation, the young marshal is more stable and manly than before. His position is also more stable, so he has a kingly demeanor in his every move. The aura of the stars and the moon fascinates young girls even more. Just in the midst of the feasting and feasting,Her hand was held by Zhang Hanqing, and a wave of warmth flowed through her body.
Is this the world-famous young marshal? His facial features are very regular, his eyes are so clear, and even his smile is fascinating. For the first time, Tang Ying felt at a loss, but the beauty of sinking was so comfortable.
With long dance steps and exquisite coordination, handsome men and beautiful women won bursts of applause. There is some flattery in this, but the vast majority of people still praise it from the bottom of their hearts - Tang Ying is well-trained, why hasn't Zhang Hanqing mastered this skill of picking up girls in many years of playing around?
Song Meiling and Sheng Aiyi looked at each other and smiled bitterly: They were originally looking for Tang Ying to understand the long-cherished wish of her brother Song Ziwen who was snatched away by a knife, but according to this attitude, this young marshal is actually addicted to it! With her brother on one side and her lover on the other, the balance kept shaking in Soong Meiling's heart.
Sheng Aiyi kept murmuring in her heart: "My little friend, you are deliberately trying to embarrass me in front of Sister Meiling, aren't you? You don't want to get close to anyone, but you have to do this with her!"
Song Ziwen was among many officials and had the honor to attend this feast. From time to time, he glanced at Sheng Aiyi's charming and expressive eyes, who put his whole heart on Zhang Hanqing's every move.
Fighting for favor is an unconscious behavior of a woman in love. It wasn't that she didn't see Song Ziwen's unusual look, she just pretended not to see it.
Yes, pretending. As one of the protagonists of the Tang-Song marriage, how could she forget her family responsibilities? However, although Song Ziwen had always been close to her, she had always regarded him as her brother and never thought about it that way. When it comes to masculinity, he is far less radiant than the man in front of him. Even if he keeps a low profile, his mature demeanor cannot be concealed.
It is also a marriage without feelings, so why sacrifice the good for the bad?
Behind the light is the unpredictable eyes of Sister Sheng Aiyi. She is trying her best to bring her relationship with Song Ziwen together. Hey, I can’t worry about that much for now. There is a good opportunity to get close to the young commander in front of me. I can’t let you all focus on the beauty in front, right? ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 929 Favorite Beauty
??
In two consecutive dances, Tang Ying dominated the young commander, making Song Meiling and Sheng Aiyi dumbfounded.
The three of them are all familiar with each other, and Song and Sheng both grew up watching Tang Ying and know each other well. In terms of new ideas, all three of them have received Western education and have a strong sense of rebellion against women stepping out of the small world of the family. Therefore, they all have their own ideas about fighting for the freedom of marriage, but they all reach the same goal by different paths. Regarding Tang Ying's thunder pool, Shuang Shu knew that the more suppressed he was, the greater the rebound would be.
So Song Meiling had nothing to do with Tang Ying: she had already made it clear that she was looking for a girlfriend for her brother, and except for the accusation of half-heartedness, everything else seemed untenable; Sheng Aiyi was equally helpless, otherwise Tang Ying could plausibly refute her in order to reduce the number of "love rivals" and Feeling guilty for "cheating" in the middle and pushing myself into the arms of others.
???????????????????????????????????????????????…
But if they don’t come forward, others will come out to challenge. Tang Ying was not the only one who favored the young marshal's style. At least when Tang Ying and the young commander went to the second city, Ruan Lingyu was eager to try.
In fact, Zhang Hanqing has also been eyeing her for a long time. For no other reason than her reputation in the film industry, he would like to see her beauty.
This historical superstar of the Republic of China who died at the age of 25 is truly a legend and has influenced the Chinese film industry for hundreds of years. However, in this era, the status of an actor is still very low. Besides, as a national leader, if he rashly strikes up a conversation with a beautiful woman, he will be interpreted as having bad intentions by outsiders, not to mention that he has bad intentions in the first place.
After the song ended, without waiting for others to make a move, Ruan Lingyu walked up to him and said with a slight smile: "Young Marshal, can you please dance a song with me?"
She said it with a smile, but she was feeling uneasy in her heart. Her approach was too abrupt, because in social situations, it is always the man who asks the woman out, not the other way around. If he refuses, she will not be able to end it; but if she had not taken the initiative to go, in the crowd full of flowers, even though she was refined, There is no absolute certainty that he can attract the attention of the young marshal.
Zhang Hanqing raised his eyes and looked at her: dignified and generous, elegant and refined. This commonly used vocabulary to describe beauty is completely unable to adequately describe her beauty. Ruan Lingyu was obviously dressed up. In fact, in Zhang Hanqing's eyes, she was extremely beautiful even if she had no appearance - a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, at the age when hibiscus comes out of clear water and the ornaments naturally disappear. Age is the best cosmetic.
“Moreover, she is the kind of person who cannot be said to be extremely beautiful, but can still be seen at a glance among the crowd. Among countless Yingying Yanyan, Ruan Lingyu is the woman who wears the cheongsam most beautifully and innocently. Although it is a plain color and the fabric is also very simple, it is very narrow and slim, making the whole person look very well matched with it. She showed off the softness and beauty of the cheongsam.
The feelings about the girl in front of me are particularly aptly summarized by Maggie Cheung, the Hong Kong movie star who played her: "I think there is an indescribable charm in Ruan Lingyu's bones."
Now this beauty is right in front of you, with a beautiful smile and beautiful eyes. The trace of worry revealed in her pupils was quickly caught by Zhang Hanqing, who treats women as thin as hair. Everyone has a love for beauty. He responded naturally: "Miss Ruan invites you, it is my wish." , Don’t dare to force your ears! Hahaha.”
A girl who also wanted to take the initiative to invite me lost the opportunity, curled her lips and cursed in her heart: "Bah! Shameless actor!"
Zhang Hanqing, who was immersed in the fragrance of the beauty, could not hear these words. He had now skillfully hooked up to Ruan Lingyu's waist——even though it was necessary for the dance, his strength was still a bit strong, and the palms of his hands were still there. Her willow waist kept sliding gently. Brother Pig’s true nature is just right.
It’s wrong to dance without touching. Ballroom dancing that is purely for social purposes is a hooligan. He has always thought so.
Ruan Lingyu twisted her body in cooperation. The young marshal recognized her at a glance, and he was very happy in his heart. These days, although she has gradually emerged in the film industry, her low social status cannot be ignored.
“In addition, she was born in a humble background and her family has never been in a good situation. The highest-status people she came into contact with were just young men from wealthy families who wanted to take advantage of her. How could there be such a lofty young marshal who holds the power of life and death and exists like an emperor and nobles?
“Besides, he is at the age when he is radiating masculine charm. In addition, his facial features and facial features are all outstanding. Not to mention that you can’t feel that he is taking advantage of you when you are fascinated. Even if it is true, you will admit it.
She raised her head, she saw that he was very tall and even wearing high heels he had to look up slightly: "Young Marshal, do you know me?"
Zhang Hanqing was too close to her, and there was a faint smell on her body?She has the demure, dignified and lightness of oriental beauty, which often makes Zhang Hanqing lament that it is too late to meet her and that fate is playing tricks on people.
The "Shayanara" he "made" for her was truly a heartfelt compliment, but he did not use his power to interfere with her normal life, just so as not to destroy the beauty in his heart.
" Relatively speaking, Lu Xiaoman's life circle brought her numbness and dissatisfaction. This is why Zhang Hanqing believes that she is beautiful, but it is difficult for people to appreciate her from the heart.
Zhou Xuan is still just a little girl. Naturally, Ruan Lingyu, the only one who can be called a beauty of the Republic of China, has become the woman he is most interested in since time travel: she has no success, has a great reputation, and is really beautiful. These three elements are indispensable. , and Ruan Lingyu happens to have all three.
As a woman, she is the weakest of the four beauties, which also arouses the sympathy of Zhang Hanqing, a man. Regardless of the situation or reason, he has to lend a helping hand, whether it is action or emotion.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing, who is not Chu Ge, decided to attack Ruan Lingyu. Just a few minutes ago, he seemed to be having a heated fight with Tang Ying. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 930 Jealousy
??
The man is in love with the concubine, their dancing is particularly harmonious, and their embrace is particularly intimate.
Zhang Jialing once said: "The so-called socialization means that people who dress up well appear in decent places, see similar people, and be seen." Although Zhang Hanqing's gesture was very subtle, Song and Sheng, who had also been conquered by similar means, were very discerning and kept staring at him.
A few years later, his method of seducing women is still so direct, no fancy moves at all, but very deadly!
In this regard, Shuangshu was both happy to see the success and a little uneasy. Zhang Hanqing took the initiative to give up Tang Ying, so the hope of bringing Song Ziwen and Tang Ying together would be greatly increased. However, is it a bit too much to have such a hot relationship between the young marshal and the actor? He is a young commander, and she is just an actress!
Although the economic life of the Republic of China has begun to move towards modernity, it is still difficult to completely change the shackles of old ideas in the ideological field. A lowly actor wants to compete with a famous lady for status? This alone is enough to make the ladies who claim to be Beijing, Tianjin or Shanghai indignant. Even Sheng Aixi began to prefer to let Tang Ying succeed rather than watch an actor keep pace with them.
She began to regret, why did Lao Jun have to bring this evil spirit? Knowing that Han Qing is this kind of person, isn't this causing trouble for himself?
Seeing the young marshal's intoxicated appearance, no one stepped forward to disturb him. Celebrities respect their status and do not want to be maliciously speculated. Celebrities are not as open-minded as Ruan Lingyu.
Identity is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.
They set their sights on Yu Fengzhi. At this moment, only this official is qualified to interfere in these private matters.
In fact, Yu Fengzhi had already noticed it, but on this occasion, everyone was staring at her, so it was hard for her to say anything. The husband is the biggest official here and holds the power of life and death. It is normal for someone to stick to him. In fact, it has been like this ever since his debut. Can you see through the vast sea of ??people? !
If it weren’t for the fact that her husband was relatively self-disciplined and it wasn’t impossible for the harem to be strengthened, she would have been completely helpless.
She is well aware of the scandals about him that have spread outside. Strangely enough, his flirting with women over the years has not had much impact on his reputation. Instead, it has become a hotly discussed topic both inside and outside the circle. The trend has been like this for thousands of years. How could she say she could change it if she wanted to? As long as it doesn't have any negative effects on him, let him do whatever he wants.
Men, it’s not a big deal if you act on occasion. This is the education she received, and this is her destiny.
Because he knew Yu Fengzhi's psychology, Zhang Hanqing was very restrained. As for the fact that he couldn't bear it anymore and had no need to bear it anymore, it was only by chance. He is not a saint, not Liu Xiahui. He will still devote himself wholeheartedly when he should be emotional, such as this.
He really fell in love with this ill-fated weak woman all of a sudden, it was purely a man's nature. A man's desire to protect would not be directed towards such a woman, but to whom?
This is somewhat like his relationship with Huang Wanqing, Liang Qingzhu and Queen Wanrong: Huang Wanqing gained his love in hesitation, Liang Qingzhu was charming, and Wanrong made him experience the excitement of having a thousand years of imperial power under his body, especially When facing his violence alone, he is still essentially a helpless weakling.
A similar scene happened again, but this time it was Zhang Hanqing who took the initiative. He caressed her waist discreetly and said firmly: "As long as you are willing, I can do it!"
Ruan Lingyu clearly felt the heat coming from her waist. Although it was already autumn, the weather in Dalian, the northern country, only started to cool down at night. It was still a bit hot at other times, especially in this dance hall. Especially under the young marshal's touch, he knew that it was starting to get hot.
It’s not like she hasn’t experienced men. Before that, she had been living with her former benefactor, the Fourth Young Master, for two years. If time and space had not changed, she would have lived with this shameless man for another eight years. Then, due to the appearance of another man, her life was greatly disturbed. A year later, she could not bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide.
Therefore, she has no doubt about the meaning of Zhang Hanqing's actions. But should she accept it?
Although she had "indiscretions" with other men, they were forced by life. Her approach to the young commander was only a natural necessity in the social world. After all, when fishing, you have to catch the biggest fish. However, once she discovered that she was the one being fished for, she began to hesitate. What identity would she use to face the outside world?
She is just an actress, while the young marshal is the country's second-largest figure. The huge identity gap makes her worry about gains and losses. It's not that he is afraid that the young marshal will always be in trouble but eventually give up. Judging from the outside world's reputation for him, although this romantic young marshal is a little obsessed with women, he is still affectionate and righteous. The first divorce case in the Republic of China that he handled for Queen Wanrong proved that he had no regard for himself.Happy. "
Women don’t care about being decent, they are decent because they are not tempted enough; men don’t care about being loyal, they are loyal because the stakes for betrayal are too low. Zhang Hanqing had no scruples. Even though his wife and the two darkrooms were watching him with eager eyes, he knew that they loved him so he had nothing to fear. He believed that Ruan Lingyu would have a choice between the fourth young master of the family who barely lived together and him.
Song Meiling resisted the urge to intervene. Yu Fengzhi, the wife of the first wife, was smiling as if she didn't see anything. She was not even a formal person, so what qualifications did she have to question the young marshal's philandering? However, if this tone does not come out, if this wind does not stop, how will we live in the future? ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 931: Every time you slaughter more dogs out of righteousness
??
After the song ended, the place returned to silence. One of the programs at the party, vaudeville, as an established opera to adjust the atmosphere, was on stage as scheduled.
Around the Neolithic Age, Chinese acrobatics had already sprouted. The labor skills developed by primitive people in hunting and the martial arts and extraordinary physical abilities created in self-defense and defense were reproduced as a skill performance of self-entertainment games during rest and entertainment, and when expressing the joy of hunting and victory. The earliest acrobatic art was formed.
When skill becomes a means of making a living, it begins a transformational journey of inheritance, innovation and development. During the Republic of China, due to the low economic situation, in order to make a living, various teams began to develop in an endless stream.
These acrobats wandered around the world and lived a miserable life. However, out of their love for their ancestors' art and their pursuit of life, they maintained and developed their art in a difficult environment. In addition to "selling street stalls" and wandering around cities and villages as performers, some highly skilled artists are also invited to perform at halls of wealthy families and perform at incense walks during New Years and festivals.
Unlike drama, they could still be on the stage. The status of acrobatics was not mainstream at that time. It could only be regarded as a gag and livening up the atmosphere, a bit similar to Western clowns.
The young marshal wanted to be lively, so his subordinates arranged for an Anhui team. Because of poverty, an unusually large number of people in Anhui Province have embarked on the road of juggling, and they have also developed their own characteristics.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the Anhui troupe had the reputation of being "light and capable, able to throw, fall and fight". At that time, they performed mule operas and various acrobatics and competed on the stage. After nearly 50 years of casting and smelting, they naturally became more popular. After the Hui Troupe came to Beijing, every performance had to focus on martial arts scenes involving falls and fighting.
Playing with flowers, guts, and stone locks, they all make lottery, especially to fight against fighting. It is the stunt of Huiban. No matter the official military generals and ladies are present, they all say good.
Only Zhang Hanqing looked at it with appreciation. There is no distinction between high and low professions, as long as you earn a ration for yourself through your own efforts. The acrobatics ended amidst applause. He did not treat the group of artists like the host was treating people like beggars. Instead, he walked onto the stage cordially and shook hands with them one by one.
This scene made everyone look at each other. You say that the young marshal is just putting on a show, his eyes and actions are sincere; you say that the young marshal expresses his sincerity, but is a lowly trick player worthy of being condescended to? You must know that with so many high-level government officials and celebrities from all walks of life present, he only gave a brief greeting when he appeared.
Therefore, when Zhang Hanqing cordially held the hand of the class leader He, the youngest He was so excited that he burst into tears. For many years, he has been living in this world as a lower class person. Although he may be slightly better off than ordinary people from the perspective of making money, he cannot bear to be looked down upon by society.
With the young marshal's hand, he felt like he was suddenly in the clouds, so much so that he didn't even hear what the young marshal said clearly, he just cried.
The young marshal also had a good temper. Seeing that he didn't answer, he didn't urge him and repeated the question:
"What was the name of the show just now?"
This time the youngest He heard it clearly. He was a little excited and a little inferior: "Young Marshal Bing, it's called playing tricks."
"What's the name of that noisy thing? Children will like it very much."
“Young Marshal, that one is called diabolo.”
“Oh, Zhang Hanqing seems to understand but not quite. The youngest He spoke in a Hui accent, but that was not the point. The point was that he wanted to take the opportunity to build momentum. I'm here, and you guys are still gossiping in private. Do you really think you are nothing? Take off your clothes and it's still the same thing? But since you are showing off, you have to act more like it and be more dedicated.
“In the past, I appeared in front of the Chinese people with a tough attitude. In the future, I also need the Chinese people to see that I am close to the people. This time, it is a breakthrough.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The youngest He began to speak less tremulously, and he spoke out the names of the projects one by one. Although Zhang Hanqing was confused, it did not prevent him from making a far-sighted conclusion:
"This is a very glorious profession that can bring joy to people. I have always believed that no profession is high or low, as long as it serves the country and the people, it is a good profession worthy of recognition, promotion and respect. .
Soldiers fight, farmers farm, workers work, writers write, actors act, teachers teach Like our government officials, they all contribute to this country and are all worthy of respect!
There is an old saying in China, which is called "Three hundred and sixty skills, and the number one scholar will be the best". Mr. He has carried forward these skills. He will not only perform them for us now, but also go abroad in the future to let foreigners see them. The level of Chinese folk artists! "
This is a small countryGiven the opportunity to be a good person, no matter what, he will find a way to repay. It is a supreme honor to be able to become a member of the People's Army without losing one's profession. You must know that although the People's Army is relatively large in number, after many times of survival of the fittest, this army has established a good reputation in the hearts of the people across the country.
He needs to stand up for the young marshal. As the saying goes, a scholar will die for his confidant. And since the young marshal has raised the labor army to the level of patriotism, he will take this step no matter what.
Therefore, he was the first to stand up and said sonorously: "We, a group of acrobats, thanks to the Young Marshal's persistence, can still be of some use to the country. As long as the Young Marshal needs it, we ask to join!"
He is the team leader, and according to industry tradition, he has full decision-making power on behalf of the entire team. Half a lifetime of experience told him that when carrying people in a sedan chair, you must not shrink back when you need to stand out. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 932 Fighting for the Wind
Seeing that the young marshal is so approachable, even the industry that has always been "lower people" admires him so much, the group of people who call themselves "springs and snows" can't sit still.
The young marshal can be pretentious, but it’s hard for them to accept it all at once. We can’t let a group of actors focus on their beauty! However, if the young marshal is close to the actress Ruan Lingyu in the front and supports a bunch of acrobats behind him, he is completely following the path of the lower class.
Tang Ying was also a little disappointed, as if falling into dust from the clouds.
For Ruan Lingyu, she did not think that she would become a competitor in this situation. In her opinion, an actor, no matter what his status, is not worthy of competing with her. Maybe she didn't think so in her heart, but the unconscious reason was that this was already an established convention.
There is no reason for the young marshal to like a female actress and elevate her to a very high status! In terms of beauty, she would not let Song and Sheng Shu excel in beauty. Even Ruan Lingyu, she was not in the least bit frightened. Regardless of identity, status, family, or education, she left the other party far behind.
And a more important reason is that she is a real girl, and everyone knows that the other party is living with a person named Zhang. Even if she lowers her stature, Ruan Lingyu has no advantage over her in marrying a virtuous wife, taking concubines, and having sex.
But the young commander just praised her! This made her very angry for no reason!
She originally just followed Er Shu out to see the world. After all, it was the young ladies from the Song and Sheng families who led the team. Due to their family background and their relationship with the young marshal, there were very few people in Shanghai who didn't give them face or add to the cake. She had some idea of ??Song Meiling's desire to win over Brother Nai, and her family was happy to see it happen, but the moment she met the young marshal, she changed her mind.
In Shanghai, where talented people have emerged from generation to generation, if you want to maintain the status of an aristocratic family, in addition to continuous progress, connections are extremely important, even more than progress itself. The decline and revival of the Sheng family and the change of the Song family clearly tell the world that the world is now ruled by the People's Party, and accompanying the young commander is a shot in the arm to ensure the prosperity of the family.
In order to still have a certain status after Prime Minister Sun Yat-sen, the Shanxi faction headed by the eldest sister Soong Ailing resolutely defected to the People's Party under the guidance of the younger sister Soong Meiling, and acted ruthlessly behind the Kuomintang's back. As a result, the Kuomintang's vitality was greatly weakened and it completely lost its qualification to challenge the Kuomintang. However, the Song family stood up again as a result: Kong Xiangxi's appointment as vice chairman of the Kuomintang is proof of this.
No one accuses the Song family of going back on their word, but they envy them for becoming the leaders of Shanghai again. As for posting a little girl, no one has any idea at all. Maybe they are still jealous that she can reach Tianting directly.
The same is true for the Sheng family. Under the Young Marshal's platform, Sheng Aiyi not only single-handedly reversed the decline of the Sheng family and survived the inheritance crisis, but she was evenly matched with the Song family because she clung to the Young Marshal's thigh. The courage is worth learning, even though I am also posted as Miss No. 7.
The Tang family had not taken sides before, so they naturally voted for the People's Party more confidently. In Shanghai, where poverty is laughed at but not prostitution, as long as you have the means, the winner will always be respected. Although the Tang family contributed to the May 30th Incident and later gained a share of the profits, because they did not have a leader, they were not able to gain the attention of the young marshal, so they could only choose to gain access to the Song and Sheng families indirectly. profit.
Tang Ying was very excited to finally get close to the young marshal directly, and it was obvious that the young marshal was very fond of her.
"Choose the young marshal or a roundabout marriage with the Song family. Of course, it is much more powerful to go directly to the young marshal." With her age being ten years younger, she was confident of getting a share of the pie between Song and Sheng. They can do this, why can't I?
However, Ruan Lingyu's appearance quickly broke her reverie. Maybe Ruan Lingyu, who has a humble status, is more open-minded than her? Thinking of people's legends about the romantic young marshal, she began to worry about gains and losses. Also throwing herself into someone's arms without shame would put herself on the same level as an actor; if she didn't take the initiative, how could she be reflected in a young commander surrounded by beauties?
If you want the young marshal to continue to pay attention to her, you have to be creative. However, Tang Yingjiu has his own way of excelling in the social circle.
Although he lacks experience in chasing boys, the aristocratic education that immerses his soul is not in vain. For someone like Zhang Hanqing, who has experienced praise from countless people, he has naturally become immune to flattery. Instead, it is the invisible praise that makes him feel truly comfortable. It is said that his achievements in military and national affairs are unparalleled. Needless to say, what is it that can make people talk about it?
Literary talent!
Research shows that young marshals can always write immortal masterpieces on specific occasions every once in a while, whether it is family and country affairs or picking up girls. His masterpieces, whether they are the old-style poems "Poppy Poppies - On the Pillow", "Qing Ping Le - Liupan Mountain", "Qin Yuan Chun - Hanyang", "Nian Nu Jiao - Kunlun", "Shui Tiao Ge Tou - Swimming", or the old style poems Poem "Seven Rhymes-The People's Army Occupies the South""People" sign.
Fortunately, she knows her husband's adaptability. If he is not prepared in advance or is not sufficient, he will definitely have a way to fool him. As powerful as Zhi, Wan, Feng, Yan and the Kuomintang were kneaded in his hands, he didn't believe that he would fall in this small river after surviving the strong wind and waves. With his power, if he doesn't want to do it, he has at least 10,000 high-sounding reasons.
So she just pursed her lips and smiled, watching how her husband got through the difficulties. It is also a kind of fun to watch with cold eyes.
Seeing that Zhang Hanqing was in trouble, he said with a smile that he would use performance instead of poetry. If we were in modern times, everyone would probably like to watch the performances of those in power, right? But this was in the Republic of China! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 933 Sensational
Zhang Hanqing, who no longer knew what plagiarism was, actually had an idea, but he still had to be pretentious. Not to be modest, but to not be too shocking and to pave the way for myself.
" Cao Zijian still has seven steps to write a poem, so he has to wait for a while. Besides, he doesn't have much in his hands. If things go on like this, there will be a day when his talent will be exhausted. Let's slowly fade away from the honorary title of "the great poet of the Republic of China" - leaving a little bit for future generations, which can be regarded as a kind of support.
So he deliberately dilly-dallyed and said with a smile: "Ms. Tang is trying to catch a duck. Poetry is just for cultivating one's temperament, it's just a show. Now the battle between China and Japan on the frontline is very intense, but you and I are here talking about poetry and writing lyrics. It's unavoidable. Let the Chinese people complain. They won’t talk about you, Miss Tang, but they will scold me, Zhang Xueliang, for being arty even in the midst of a national crisis. Thanks to Miss Tang’s invitation, I can only perform a piece of my best instrument for everyone.”
After listening to the young commander’s first half, everyone felt that the day lily was already cold, but it was the first time that the young commander suddenly wanted to play a musical instrument. So Tang Ying, who had already calmed down, mustered up her courage again - she was still young and didn't know the principle of playing hard to get, but our young marshal was extremely skillful.
While everyone held their breath and listened to the natural sounds that Zhang Hanqing was about to perform, Zhang Hanqing laughed and said: "The instruments I am best at are——gui, tang and drum!"
The crowd burst into laughter. It turned out that the young marshal had made a joke with everyone. After Tang Ying got the courage, she became even more popular. She smiled like a flower and said reluctantly: "Young Commander makes other people's jokes, so he has to write a poem!"
Zhang Hanqing is very fond of such a beautiful girl of eighteen or nineteen acting coquettishly, and he has already thought of a poem. Of course he dares to challenge, but he just wants to take Qiao. Now that Tang Ying said this, he just took advantage of the situation.
He raised his glass lightly and said impassionedly: "It must be much harder for the soldiers to spend the Double Ninth Festival on the Korean front than it is here. There are no fine wines and flowers there, only wild flowers everywhere and rice balls with wild vegetables, some southern The officers and soldiers were not used to eating rice.
But under such difficult circumstances, they relied on faith, perseverance and bravery to defend the three thousand miles of rivers and mountains in our northeast! They are the mainstay of our country and the vanguard for us to get rid of Japanese imperialism and all other imperialists who oppress the Chinese nation!
In order to express my admiration for them, on the occasion of the Double Ninth Festival, I will dedicate the following song "Picking Mulberries" to the cutest people of our time! "
With the ups and downs of his words, his voice spread to every corner of North Korea and every village in the motherland. In people's eyes, some unknown wild flowers grow tenaciously on a bleak and vast land. They are symbols of the unyielding Chinese people and represent the Chinese people's unremitting efforts to win liberation.
""Picking Mulberry-Double Ninth Festival":
? Life is easy but it is hard to grow old.
It’s Double Ninth Festival every year.
Today is the Double Ninth Festival again,
The field yellow flowers are particularly fragrant.
The autumn breeze is strong once a year,
It’s not like spring.
Better than spring light,
The sky over Liao Kuo River is filled with frost. "
Zhang Hanqing has become numb after picking it up so many times. The initial guilt has completely disappeared without a trace. Instead, he thinks that his behavior is very noble, otherwise there is a saying: "Plagiarism is the worst crime." A grand compliment”!
Tang Ying was the first to applaud.
How could she, who had received a good education in ancient culture, fail to hear the subtleties in it? With just one touch, this "battlefield" set the tone of the whole word. Who dares to say that the young commander is addicted to wine and sex? He even writes lyrics with the soldiers at the front in mind! The others are experts who listen to the knowledge, while the outsiders are watching the excitement. With Tang Ying's clear calling voice, even if they still want to taste it, they can't help but give a good word first.
Yu Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Hanqing's masterpiece was accomplished, and he said "lucky". On these occasions in the future, you have to set the tone in advance. If you keep writing poems like this, sooner or later you will force yourself to become a real poet!
No matter what, the party ended perfectly. After that, the frontline condolences group led by Yu Fengzhi will set foot on the Korean soil and labor force. The two Shus in Shanghai were supposed to leave, but the North and the South came and left together, which meant they were competing for the same place, so Sheng and Song were deliberately two days late.
For this reason, Yu Fengzhi’s earnest “teachings” are inevitable.
"Han Qing, take care of your body."
"Sister, it's not like you don't know my body."
Yu Fengzhi has no good way to deal with this scoundrel and scoundrel. The only thing he can do is to squeeze out every drop of him. However, the Creator?It's magical, making him always look energetic the next day. What can women do about men's innate advantages?
“The most important wife who can restrict his life is gone, and then it’s time for the young marshal to shine again. If his name is not correct, his words will not be correct. Song and Sheng have no binding force on his private life. No, the next day, Zhang Hanqing made an excuse to invite Ruan Lingyu to his office.
Who told her that she was the head of the acting frontline art troupe personally appointed by the young marshal? I don’t know how big this position is, but after all, if you join the team, you should act according to the rules. The so-called military order fell like a mountain, and there was nothing we could do if Ruan Lingyu didn't come. No matter what, she couldn't resist the young commander, but could she accept the young commander's favor calmly?
She stood uneasily in front of Zhang Hanqing's case and said awkwardly: "Young Marshal, I can't be the leader of the cultural troupe. I appreciate your kindness."
Growing up, she has lived in the lower class society, and she is not even qualified to look up to the young commander who is like a god. Yesterday, she actually danced with the young marshal so close, smelling his scent, hearing his promise, and seeing his decision.
In that moment, she was deeply impressed by Zhang Hanqing's charm. The moment Zhang Hanqing personally announced that she would be the leader of the cultural troupe, she saw the lady next to her who had looked disdainful just now, looking dumbfounded. She clearly remembered how the lady smiled at her after her accidental glance.
There is heaven on one side and hell on the other, all in her mind.
Ruan Lingyu bit her lip tightly. She had been thinking over and over again all night, and finally she chose to refuse: "Young Marshal, I heard what you said yesterday. This is a very important position. I am just an actor and I will definitely not be able to do it well. If this delays you, big event"
Zhang Hanqing smiled. Ruan Lingyu is still young! Even if your superiors say you can do it, you can do it even if you don't; if your superiors say you can't do it, you can do it even if you do. Now running the country is like cooking fresh food, what else can a cultural troupe do? It's nothing more than playing and singing, as long as the officers and soldiers like it. Besides, with Ruan Lingyu's ability, it will be a success and a hit.
"As long as I'm your backer, you can do it boldly. You're starting from scratch anyway." He crossed his legs leisurely and said meaningfully: "Isn't it my final say whether you do it well or bad?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 935 Making a show
Previously, the young marshal was ordered to allow Liao Yaquan to enter and leave the headquarters freely. Even Tan Hai didn't know the reason for this, and he would not ask. Therefore, when Liao Yaquan came over as usual, the guards did not stop him until they met Tan Hai outside the house.
“Important official documents are handled directly through Zhu Guangmu, director of the Central Office. There is actually nothing in Zhang Hanqing’s office. This was his special order. If he doesn't do it well, he will turn into Jiang Qian. Except for what he wants Liao Yaquan to know, he must not let her know any other important information, even when picking up girls.
He was calm, but Tan Hai didn't know. When he tactfully explained that the young marshal would not see anyone, Liao Yaquan, who had always been gentle, became unusually stubborn. She insisted on meeting the young marshal, which made it difficult for Tan Hai to do so.
I don’t know what the relationship between the young marshal and the lady in front of him is like, but with the young marshal’s personality, it’s impossible not to get involved. It would be better for him to take less care of the affairs of the person next to him, so when the persuasion failed, he could only accompany Liao Yaquan to open the door.
It is also the gallbladder, and the young handsome is not locked! So, they were exposed.
As long as you are not blind, anyone can see what the people inside are doing, because at this moment, you can clearly see the young marshal's hand quickly pulling out from the lady's chest. Although it is fast, it still cannot escape the eyes of outsiders. Besides, the lady's clothes were in disarray, and her flustered and embarrassed expression betrayed everything.
what to do? It was also the first time for Liao Yaquan to encounter such a scene. Although she had received excellent training, this kind of scene had never been experienced before.
She can only adapt to circumstances.
Ruan Lingyu was so embarrassed that her ears were red. This was the same as being caught having an affair. She panicked and tried to catch something, but couldn't catch anything. She tried to cover it up with something, but there was nothing around her.
???????? Zhang Hanqing has experienced strong winds and waves and is much calmer. He said to Tan Hai: "This room should be cleaned. The floor is so slippery. How can we welcome guests?" While still slowly pretending to dust Ruan Lingyu's cheongsam, he said calmly: "How was the fall? "As if what he was doing was a good deed.
So Ruan Lingyu also cooperated and pretended to fall, gently lifted her cheongsam, and said shyly: "It's not hurt." It's true that she is an actress, but this time, she really didn't pretend to be like it.
Tan Hai was sweating on his forehead, so he happened to borrow Po Xia's donkey: "Okay, Marshal. I'll arrange for someone to handle it later."
This is a necessary action, even though everyone knows it is fake, but the emperor’s new clothes, if not revealed, everyone will be fine. As the two asked and answered questions in a matter-of-fact manner, the atmosphere suddenly became more relaxed. Ruan Lingyu was shy and did not dare to turn around. She sat on the sofa with Zhang Hanqing's support.
Zhang Hanqing, whose good deed was revealed, was very annoyed and did not give Liao Yaquan a good look. Any man would not feel comfortable in this situation. But for Liao Yaquan, this was really a chance encounter by mistake, but it couldn't be better.
Originally, in the plan, with her status and charm as a young marshal, even though she felt that she was very charming, she still did not dare to be too casual - handing herself over casually might make the man happy on the surface, but because men like the new and dislike the old, His nature is not far away from alienation. So she kept insisting on it, not only to whet the young commander's appetite, but also to increase his worth.
Although she has received many skills training, she is still not good at seducing men. There is nothing she can do about it. Her age and experience are here. She is a trump card in the Japanese spy industry. She is going to do big things. She must be handed over completely to the young marshal before she can be useful. Although there are many women around the young marshal, they are all virgins. It seems that he likes her. This bite.
This is one of the reasons why although she is smart, she has never been able to take the initiative in matters between men and women.
Of course, with Zhang Hanqing's sophistication, he just never had time to seduce her - he has been busy since Double Ten: labor, awarding awards, logistics arrangements, equipment review, and welcoming the arrival of his wife and two beauties. .
Now, with Ruan Lingyu as a new target, his impulse towards Liao Yaquan has weakened a bit when it comes to women. He is not the first brother. Although it is inevitable that he will have the idea of ??having both a wife and a soldier, he can still clearly distinguish between state affairs and crotch matters.
Liao Yaquan still lacks experience. She had just "successfully" infiltrated the top ranks of the People's Army, but was suddenly marginalized. She quickly developed a sense of crisis. Zhang Hanqing's performance of Brother Zhu at the Double Ninth Festival Party quickly spread throughout Dalian's social circle and also reached her ears. If Ruan Lingyu is allowed to get close to the young commander, it will be difficult for her to obtain all the conveniences.
I shoulder the sacred mission of the Japanese Empire!
This responsibility forces her to destroy the good things between the young commander and Ruan Lingyu!
Liao Yaquan approached Zhang Hanqing again with the feeling of waiting for no time. This time, she decided to use her body to subdue him if necessary. becauseTherefore, when I once again entered this familiar young marshal's station, my heart was filled with the tragic feeling of sacrificing one's life for the country.
Unexpectedly, her determination accidentally ruined the good things between Zhang Hanqing and Ruan Lingyu. Fortunately, otherwise, with Ruan Lingyu's attractiveness, Zhang Hanqing would not be able to pounce on him wholeheartedly. It would be a bit uncomfortable to approach him calmly like this at that time.
Yes, it’s uncomfortable. She didn't know why she had this idea, but she just couldn't accept that the man she sacrificed her life for was involved with another woman at the same time, even though it was only necessary for intelligence work.
After getting over the initial embarrassment, Zhang Hanqing regained his composure. Thanks to the background of this era, he could safely enjoy polygamy without being criticized by others. Speaking of which, he still has modern thoughts left in him: If he is intimate with his own woman, who will he be in the way of? Where does the fear come from?
He slowly walked back to his seat - if someone could see through, they could see the tent set up in front of him. What Liao Yaquan saw was the chic way he sat sideways. For Zhang Hanqing, this was the most bumpy road in life, even though it was only a few steps!
Sitting on the desk, the high table in front blocked the commotion, and he returned to his original appearance: "Miss Liao, I haven't seen you for a few days, what kind of wind brought you here?"
Liao Yaquan tried not to think about the scene just now. She smiled sweetly and said: "Young Marshal, have you forgotten that we agreed to go to the officers and soldiers of the Bohai Fleet today?"
Oh, is this happening? Zhang Hanqing thought about it for a while, and it really happened. He patted his head and said, "I've been so busy these days that I forgot about such an important thing. I really shouldn't have!"
He looked at Ruan Lingyu and said: "Ms. Ruan, I have something to do today. You go to the Political Department to settle down first, and Miss Zhu Wu will help you take care of things. Please be patient before going to North Korea with the Shanghai condolence delegation. I will follow up on this matter." That’s what Captain Song and the others said.”
The Miss Zhu Wu he refers to is Zhu Meijun, the fiancée of Zhu Guangmu, director of the Central Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the fifth daughter of Zhu Qiqian, the former prime minister of the Republic of China. Speaking of which, the marriage between the two was still done by themselves.
"If in official history, it was Zhu Wu who introduced him to Miss Zhao Si; and his second brother Zhang Xueming eventually married Zhu Luojun, the sixth miss of the Zhu family, the two families were considered to be members of the same family.
Because of the good relationship, Mr. Ma Junwu wrote a very famous poem "Sorrow for Shenyang" in anger at the Northeast Army's non-resistance on September 18th. There is a sentence in it: "Zhao Si was romantic and Zhu Wu was crazy. "Pianpian Hudie is the best", Zhu Wu among them was the one who said it.
Ruan Lingyu nodded hurriedly. As long as the two of them, especially Liao Yaquan, leave here quickly, Zhang Hanqing can say anything. However, she did not see the meaningful glance that Liao Yaquan cast her inadvertently. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 936 Intermission
In this rare peace break, the main force of the Bohai Fleet, which had experienced a large-scale maritime attack and defense after the war, had a rest in Dalian Bay. The Naval Command invited Zhang Hanqing to give a lecture to the troops.
The war is not over yet, and the army still needs to work hard. Zhang Hanqing has long planned to take a look at his navy in person. He just took this opportunity to correct his shortcomings in naval development and reward the officers and soldiers of the fleet who participated in the war.
Although they were blocked outside the port by Japan's superior fleet, the Chinese officers and soldiers' unafraid of sacrifice also prevented the Japanese ships from crossing the Miaodao Islands, objectively protecting the safety of major industrial cities in the Bohai Bay.
It is true that the Japanese Navy claimed to have won a strategic victory, but in Zhang Hanqing's mind, China actually had an advantage in both tactics and strategy. It can be said that he never thought that the naval battle would turn out like this.
In my impression, the huge Japanese combined fleet can compete with powerful countries such as Britain and the United States. Now the young Chinese navy not only fought with it, but also successively sank the light cruiser "Yura", five destroyers, and Although the heavy cruiser "Izumo" took advantage of the geographical convenience and used almost the entire Bohai Fleet except submarines and torpedo boats, and there were some luck factors, victory is victory, and this cannot be changed.
The Chinese Navy has made a good start, which is of great significance to it: the Navy has since gained confidence, which is something that no equipment can do.
During the birth of the People's Army, the Navy was behind the Army and was almost born out of the Army. This made the Navy inherently overwhelmed by the Army. In the future, if it wants to become the world's most important maritime power and a double-headed eagle that can keep pace with the Army, this victory It is quite important. At least, Guo Songling can ask Zhang Hanqing for money, and Zhang Hanqing can also tilt military expenditures to the navy.
In the ten days since the armistice, Zhang Hanqing has spoken with no less than five groups of German military elites.
In addition to consolidating the sharing of experience between the two countries in the manufacture and use of submarines, he also frankly introduced to his army elites the Chinese Army's efforts in trying mechanization, China, especially his concept of land-air battle, and the Chinese Navy's view of naval aviation. The construction and other topics, especially the Air Force's theory of sea control, which was of great interest to the German naval community, greatly impressed the rising stars of the German Navy.
And Zhang Hanqing lost no time in mentioning that he hopes Germany will continue to provide China with much-needed help in the military industry. In the past few days, he and his German friends discussed the plan to open Krupp Enterprise to China. Just this year, due to the political climate, Krupp, the German military industry leader, no longer has to carry out weapons development in secret.
Since the beginning of the Westernization Movement, China has customized warships and cannons from the German Krupp Arsenal, and Zhang Hanqing has established a good relationship with it for a long time after his time travel. From 75mm mountain guns to 125mm howitzers, from large submarines to small torpedoes, as well as various precision mechanical machine tools, Krupp has formed a good relationship with the Fengtian military industry department, which is also a portrayal of the Sino-German honeymoon. .
Don’t simply interpret this kind of military-industrial assistance as Germany’s charity to China. You must know that the top brass of the People’s Army headed by Zhang Hanqing have put in a lot of effort:
He first took advantage of Germany's internal and external difficulties after World War I but hoped to maintain its military capabilities to introduce corresponding weapons and give it the strategic materials necessary to develop its domestic economy. At this point, the transaction between the two parties was fair and mutually beneficial. ;
“ Then he guaranteed the sharing of the People’s Army’s ability to introduce, absorb and improve these military products, so that Germany could devote itself wholeheartedly to it and give the green light for China’s military industry to truly learn from experience.
You must know that Germany’s rigor is a century-old inheritance. It is by no means simply to buy some machine tools and imitate some weapons and have a look at the whole body. The spirit is the cornerstone of their success.
Take Krupp, the representative of the German military industry, as an example: The Krupp family has always been the pillar of German militarism and is favored by the highest authorities in the country.
? It is the tradition of this family to abide by time, obey discipline and execute orders. Take meal time as an example. Breakfast is at 7:15. People who arrive at 7:16 will find that the restaurant is closed and others have already started eating. In addition, even in the dead of winter, the family members would not light up the fireplace and deliberately make the office cold to avoid becoming listless
After World War I, the Allies dismantled the factory and the Krupp family were declared war criminals. In such a difficult environment, Krupp continued to establish new companies and build new factories to maintain its century-old honor. The arsenal established by Zhang Hanqing in Lanzhou received its help from the beginning.
Two years ago, at the request of the German General Staff, Krupp built the first batch of armored vehicles, and two years later, in 1928, it resumed the production of cannons.
Since China has inherited all aspects of German technology,The surviving pilots who have participated in two air battles are assigned to these rookies as their flight instructors. The experience of warriors who have experienced blood and fire is much more vivid than the regulations in textbooks. Leading the new with the old is the best way to promote the development of the new branch of the Air Force.
Similarly, the naval surface forces no longer have the ability to engage in major battles. In addition to serving as sea school instructors and training ship captains, many of these future Chinese seeds will be promoted.
China is actively preparing for war here, and Japan is also sharpening its sword over there. However, because both sides had experienced a large-scale war of attrition and both needed to sit down and lick their wounds and take a break, under the "mediation" of all parties, they both agreed to take a rare breather.
The purpose of the halftime break is to determine the winner in the next round. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 937 Encouragement and Leaking Secrets
When the elegant young marshal brought the handsome Liao Yaquan to the temporary base of the Bohai Fleet in Lushun Bay, he was unanimously welcomed by all the officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers were both convinced and grateful to the young marshal. There was a time when China could only watch Japanese warships show off their power. Compared with the army, the navy has higher cultural requirements, so they understand the gap between China and Japan far better than ordinary soldiers.
The navy is a comprehensive military branch, and it tests the country’s industrial strength. There should be no ambiguity about this. The more this is the case, the pressure on soldiers who are determined to devote themselves to China's coastal defense will be far greater than that of the army. Because according to what they have seen and understood, if China wants to reach Japan's current strength, it will not be possible in less than 30 to 50 years. The prerequisite is that China must work together and the economy will continue to prosper.
It’s not like they are standing still. What’s more, China’s goal is not only to defeat it, but also to drive it out of the country?
The more this happens, the more I understand Zhang Hanqing’s contribution to the revitalization of the Chinese Navy. The sentence "We will not build battleships, or even use heavy cruisers as the main force in future naval battles. Instead, we will fully develop 'air, submarine, and speed', and when conditions are mature, build a new type of navy with naval aviation as the main force." Let the Chinese Navy The appearance is completely new.
Although it is a simple sentence, it should be full of the young marshal's hard work (Zhang Hanqing: This is really without any thought), and it will save the Chinese Navy from making many detours! How many people didn't believe that a small plane could defeat a giant ship of tens of thousands of tons, but now it has been done.
Especially the senior officers are now deeply impressed by the young marshal's foresight. The young marshal predicts that the next ten years will be a decade of great development of aircraft. Does this mean that he foresees the end of the battleship's status as a naval giant?
Because according to their knowledge, battleships cannot be infinitely larger, and similarly, there is no need to increase the caliber of naval guns. In an asymmetric war, no matter how big the hull and thick the gun barrel are, it will have no impact on the aircraft at all.
If the plane is faster and can carry more bombs, it will really be a nightmare for warships.
Although there was an element of luck in sinking the "Izumo" this time, if it were not for aircraft, nothing in the Chinese Navy would be its opponent. This is a fact! Therefore, they fully agreed with the young marshal's order to the Navy Headquarters and the General Armament Department of the Military Commission to speed up the production of torpedo bombers.
“ Moreover, the Marshal also decided to develop larger-caliber naval guns and start the design of large-tonnage warships, which was an unexpected blessing. In my impression, the Marshal had always put the construction of large ships at the back due to limited military expenditures. Once the new destroyer is successfully trial-produced and will be launched in batches, these soldiers who are looking forward to domestically produced large ships will be more excited than anything else.
Speaking of this, we cannot but mention China’s economic development. If it weren't for the launch of a series of industrial enterprises and the booming national economy in recent years, Zhang Hanqing wouldn't have the heart to do this. Building warships, aircraft, and tanks are all technical tasks and cannot be done carelessly. This can allow military industrial enterprises to create breakthroughs more accurately and steadily, thereby driving the development of civilian enterprises.
“And Zhang Hanqing has no intention of doing anything militarily. It is enough as long as it meets the current offshore defense needs and allows the Chinese navy to keep up with world trends and achieve the ability to run quickly in small steps.
The "Bohai Sea Battle Summary and Meritorious Officers and Soldiers Commendation Conference" opened with the solemn national anthem. Entrusted by the young marshal, Navy Commander-in-Chief Guo Songling read out a number of commendation decisions for officers and soldiers, and adjusted the duties of some Bohai Fleet personnel.
The chief engineer of the small warship You Keshu was not afraid of danger and resolutely took command of the injured captain. He played a very prominent role in the battle to defend the main force of the Bohai Fleet and boosted morale. After the war, he directly acted as the captain of the cruiser "Hairong" and was promoted in rank. for a colonel;
Captain Mo Yaoming dared to sacrifice and was promoted from destroyer captain to cruiser captain "Haichou", and his military rank was promoted to rear admiral;
Ling Xiao, the captain of the cruiser "Haichen", has decisive command and the courage to sacrifice. He performed well in the naval battle in order to preserve the main force of the fleet. Therefore, he was promoted to rear admiral and transferred the Yangtze River Fleet to serve as the commander of the destroyer fleet. With his experience, he used his experience to avoid war in the battle. The Yangtze River Fleet in the Yangtze River Channel simultaneously experienced the battle in the Bohai Bay.
In this battle, the trainees of the fourth phase of the Jiangnan Naval Academy’s driving class made the greatest contributions. They are also the backbone of the Fujian navy. Zhang Hanqing did not shy away from family opinions, and he was promoted decisively and promoted, which fully demonstrated the young marshal's sense of the overall situation of being dedicated to the public.
The so-called Jiangnan Naval Academy Driving Class is the naval school built during the Westernization Movement and is known as the cradle of the modern Chinese navy. Since the main instructors are all from Fujian, the trainees are almost all from Fujian, who have controlled the Chinese Navy for a long time. Historically, when heroes competed for hegemony on land, they rarely encountered opponents, so they formed the largest gang in the Chinese Navy, the "Fujian Faction."
&With the efforts of ?, the navy will be continuously enriched in the future.
The Japanese thought that siege could exhaust China’s military capabilities. They were wrong. Our power is stronger in war! They couldn't defeat us before, and they can't do it now! "
As if to be a footnote to his words, groups of torpedo bombers suddenly appeared in the sky. They were either conical or goose-shaped, or double or triple, and steadily passed over the heads of the participating officers and soldiers. department. Liao Yaquan counted 4 aircraft in an echelon, 18 aircraft in a squadron with 4 echelons plus the principal and deputy squadron commanders, and 54 aircraft in a wing.
There have been three waves of such aircraft. In other words, the People's Army has 168 torpedo bombers in the Bohai Sea alone. This is amazing information! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 938 Showing Strength to the Enemy
This news was quickly put on the command platform of Admiral Taniguchi, Commander of the Combined Fleet.
Taniguchi chose to believe this information because he believed Zhang Hanqing would do this. Although I don't know how powerful the Air Force's flying wing is, but with the idea of ????being cautious about sailing thousands of years, the combined fleet cannot approach the China coastline too close, otherwise it will accidentally repeat the tragedy of the "Izumo". He will not be able to Keep hiding it.
Last time, he used the navy's backstage to publicize the sinking of the "Izumo" as a necessary sacrifice for a great victory. Although the top government officials were doubtful, fortunately the army was too busy to take care of it and no one came to investigate, and because of its own The successive disastrous defeats made the politicians neither dared nor wanted to see the news of the navy's defeat, so the matter was suppressed.
Coupled with the swarms of fish and mine bombers that Liao Yaquan saw with his own eyes, and the young marshal's words to the navy's top brass to use naval aviation, shore artillery and submarines to severely damage Japanese warships entering the coastline, only a fool would take such a big risk. To provoke.
Anyway, the Chinese army has the advantage of the army, so it is unrealistic to use the marines to land. It is better to stay on the high seas and control China's thousands of miles of territorial waters! At least in this way, there is basically no loss, and it can effectively block China's maritime trade and inflict heavy damage to the Chinese economy.
"Compared to risking your own life and fighting in a bloody battle, this kind of battle is the safest and most fruitful.
As for whether the Japanese Army will be damaged, go to hell! If the Army hadn't been clinging to huge military expenditures, the Japanese Navy would not have been unable to complete the replacement of the new "Eighty-Eight Fleet"!
There are various signs that China, under the leadership of the People's Party, has broken through the internal disputes and become a dominant power, benefiting from the explosive economic growth and coal and iron production in the past decade. Its 36 armed armies are A tough nut to crack.
The number of divisions of the Japanese army is less than half that of the opponent, and a division is far inferior to an equivalent army in China in terms of soldiers and firepower. Is such a battle still going to be fought? Those politicians and a small group of ambitious people who are so greedy and stupid must give it a try! No, your head is bleeding, right?
The navy, because of its advanced weapons and equipment, requires a more astute and clear mind to master, so generally speaking, the education level of naval officers and soldiers is much higher than that of the army, especially in that era. Even in the Chinese Navy, the academic qualifications of its shipboard personnel are at least a primary school degree. There are many officers and soldiers in the army who are illiterate, and some of them have taken night classes.
As a "diplomatic navy" that can compete with great powers, the Japanese people also regard its navy with special regard.
This also makes the Navy always look down on the Army, especially when there are endless disputes over the two strategic directions of "going north" and "going south". When the Army's voice prevails, the "go north" policy will inevitably be carried over and overwhelm the "go south" policy, which also tilts limited military expenditures toward the Army.
??Apart from the sense of national honor, the Japanese Navy actually hopes that the Army will fail. Only in this way will the government carefully judge whether to continue to implement the "Northward" route. This is also one of the main reasons why the Japanese navy, although ostensibly trying its best to help the army land in Korean ports, is unwilling to do its best to contain China's rear.
“Otherwise, the Chinese Navy’s little wealth is really not enough for others to cook in one pot. With the remaining strength of the Chinese aviation force's tragic victory, as long as the Japanese ships are determined to continue to attack, there are few opponents in the Bohai Bay. If so, it will be a disaster for China. Fortunately, this is just a hypothesis.
This is why Zhang Hanqing decided to take Liao Yaquan to the naval base. Through her mouth, it shows strength to the enemy. In fact, after the brutal battle in the previous stage, one of the two torpedo bomber groups of the Bohai Fleet Naval Air Force has been eliminated, and the new aircraft are still running in with the new pilots, so it will be difficult to form combat effectiveness in a short while.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing, Guo Songling and others used a trick to hide the truth and let the remaining brigade fly over the base. However, after flying for a certain distance, the front aircraft turned back again and only changed the formation according to the predetermined plan. Being so far away, Liao Yaquan had no time to take a closer look - and even if he looked closely, he might not be able to see much, so he concluded that there were a large fleet of aircraft in Port Arthur.
Coupled with the lurking submarines and shore artillery mentioned by Zhang Hanqing, the combined fleet determined that the Chinese navy would rely on these to compete with the Japanese ships. Therefore, Admiral Taniguchi Naozhen decided that since China's weak navy cannot be solved, let's continue to block them in the port.
Several major ports should be heavily defended, but with tens of thousands of miles of sea territory, it is impossible to have heavy artillery stationed at every place? Then, if the combined fleet unexpectedly launches cross-shore attacks on various coastal cities, and spreads from all directions, it is bound to disturb China's chickens and dogs. Their limited heavy artillery will also be in a dilemma: if they follow the Japanese ships, they will be far less maneuverable than them, and they will lose sight of the other.
Therefore, unlike the army’s vigorous military strength, the navies of China and JapanIt has truly achieved "peaceful coexistence": the Combined Fleet avoided the Bohai Sea, which was tightly defended by the People's Army, and continued to cruise in China's vast maritime territory of thousands of miles, showing its presence in a mighty manner; the Chinese Navy seized the time to build shore artillery positions in strategic locations. Put on a posture of welcoming the attack.
But the empty city strategy can only be used once. Strengthening the roots and strengthening the body is the root of the cure. In the short term, it is impossible to build a large number of warships. The news of building "Dalian" class warships is just to boost morale. The only way to truly quickly improve combat effectiveness is to increase the number of shore guns.
In view of the fact that the Japanese army is not yet ready for a large-scale invasion of mainland China, and cannot conduct such a war in two places at the same time - the Korean battlefield has successfully held back the main force of the Japanese army, so this also allows Zhang Hanqing to calmly mobilize from various military regions Heavy artillery force.
Through the dense railway network, two heavy artillery regiments were quickly transferred to the command of the Bohai Fleet Coast Defense Artillery Headquarters, with Li Debiao as commander; one heavy artillery regiment joined the Yangtze River Fleet, and Xu Kewu established the Yangtze River Fleet Coast Defense Artillery Headquarters. In this way, Dalian, Weihai and Qingdao in the north all have a heavy artillery regiment, and Zhoushan and Huangpu River each have a heavy artillery regiment. The coastal defense situation has improved in the eyes of senior Chinese naval officials.
Moreover, China’s aircraft production has been growing by leaps and bounds in recent years. After the outbreak of the Korean War, the production lines were operated at full capacity. In just two months, the planned full-year production capacity has been completed. This process will accelerate rapidly after the Harbin seaplane factory switches to the production of torpedo bombers.
In Shenyang, Beijing, Xi'an, and Nanchang, pilots from countless air force academies rushed here to start running in their future mounts, while in Sinuiju, Pyongyang, Chongjin, Wonsan and other places, the engineers of the People's Army, with the assistance of participating troops, We are also working hard to build an airport to prepare for the arrival of the Air Force.
With its industrial foundation, once it is transferred to the military industry, it will be a huge improvement for the equipment of the Chinese army. In 1928, China's fiscal revenue was 2.5 times that of Japan, and its steel output was four times that of Japan. Without the need to rival Japan's navy, there is no reason why the equipment of the army and air force should be worse than Japan's.
It was originally planned that the army, especially the army-level support artillery, planned to replace the 155mm and 125mm guns with 75mm or even 105mm howitzers on a large scale. During the two months, Chinese military industrial enterprises produced a total of 1,200 large-caliber cannons and 2 million Fire cannonballs. The new armies that take turns to fight are fully manned and have heavy weapons in place.
The Japanese army was so eager to have a truce that the Chinese Army's equipment was too much beyond their expectations and they were forced to implement a delaying tactic.
The reloaded cannons have entered the second-line ranks and are used as reserves and artillery training. Now, except for remote areas, mountains, and woodlands where there are still a small number of mountain artillery included in the mountain divisions of the People's Army due to inconvenient transportation, the main forces have gradually begun to change their equipment.
In this way, although it has interfered with China's economic construction to a certain extent, the overall strength of the Chinese military, especially the army, has firmly occupied the top spot in Asia. Zhang Hanqing, Ji Yiqiao, and members of the Central Military Commission are all convinced that the Korean War will end with a great victory for the Chinese army.
In addition, in order to prevent possible Japanese landings, the three major fleets have expanded the establishment of the Marine Corps and recruited reserve officers and soldiers. First, in the most important Bohai Fleet, two brigades were added to form the 1st and 2nd divisions; the Yangtze River Fleet and the South China Fleet were combined to form the 3rd and 4th divisions respectively.
Three naval officers who graduated from the 4th phase of Jiangnan Naval Academy: Sha Xunlin, Zhu Tiansen, and Fang Yousheng respectively served as commanders of the three fleets and marines, and their military ranks were also promoted to major general commander (standard for division commander level).
At this time, the Marine Corps was just an army unit organized into the navy. Not only did the entire army not have a single warship, it was even the same size as the army.
The reason for doing this is that Zhang Hanqing purely wants to expand the influence of the navy. The current army directly consists of 7 generals and 38 lieutenant generals in the seven military regions, not to mention the deputy positions, chiefs of staff, and political officers of each military region. In the Navy, only the commanders of the three major fleets are lieutenant generals. This ratio is outrageous.
For this reason, Guo Songling has asked himself this question several times - as a general commander, he only has two admirals, Chief of Staff Shen Honglie and President of the Naval Command College Sa Zhenbing. As a branch of arms that has traditionally kept pace with the army, this The configuration is too shabby, and it is far from Zhang Hanqing's concept of vigorously developing the navy.
In fact, the navy is pretty good. Air Force Commander-in-Chief Yang Yuting doesn’t even have a general under his command. As a result, he always complains to Zhang Hanqing that he has “no successor.” Zhang Hanqing feels very sorry for this dear friend and decides to After the war, several people were promoted well and compensated by the Air Force.
Once the strategic direction has been set, the rest is up to the commanders in charge. The generals who have experienced hundreds of battles are busy with their own affairs, but in the feasting and feasting of Dalian, this atmosphere of tense preparations for war cannot be seen.
We don’t know how long the armistice will last, but what does it matter to the many foreign reporters and observers? They still held cocktail parties, held various press conferences and meetings like a revolving door, bringing Dalian, which was already prosperous, back to an era of peaceful singing and dancing.
In the face of a formidable enemy, in order to boost morale and calm people's hearts, the young commander also had fun with the people and happily integrated into the world. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)There was an atmosphere of preparation for war.

Chapter 939 The situation suddenly changes
Perhaps it was determined that the navy could not open up the situation and the army was on the absolute defensive. The Japanese government proposed to the Chinese government through Ciano that it was willing to release the greatest goodwill and the two sides launched a new round of negotiations. During this period, all hostilities cease.
??In fact, there has been a ceasefire. Now, the Japanese government is just legalizing this behavior. On the one hand, they wanted to wait for the rearmament of the Japanese Army and give them enough time. On the other hand, they also wanted to give the powers an explanation.
The ten-day ceasefire given by Zhang Hanqing is not much. The Japanese hope that this ceasefire can be longer until the fully armed Japanese troops enter North Korea again, and then they can break the armistice agreement. In fact, there was no direct agreement between the two sides. Representatives from various countries who were watching the excitement were noisy and "promoted" it. Naturally, neither China nor Japan will bear this responsibility.
“We know that the conditions for real negotiation need to be quite mature. When the leaders of both sides are still inspiring the morale of the military and the people to prepare for war, it takes strong political responsibility to control the loaded bullets. Zhang Hanqing is confident that he can stop at any time, but he does not believe in the Japanese government's ability to control its military.
To dispel Japan’s hostility, the only way is to cut off its evil hands. This is what historical experience tells him
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing is also preparing for war. If the situation on the battlefield is favorable to him, he will not hesitate to launch a war first, even if he bears the risk of war.
But obviously, as the front entered southern Korea, the traffic situation that was originally beneficial to China has now changed: before the Japanese army retreated, its engineers destroyed a large section of railway tracks in central Korea.
At the time of the war, the People's Army only restored it hastily. Where it was not possible, it had to restore people to carry horse-drawn horses. This was a disaster for the motorized artillery because North Korea's roads were so poor. This is also the reason why the Blade Team regained its power not long ago. In Zhang Hanqing's mind, although it proved the courage of the Chinese people, it should not have happened.
A few days ago, I had a phone call with Niu Yuanfeng, the deputy commander-in-chief and logistics minister of the Korean People’s Army, to confirm the restoration status of the supply line. He is one of the four major quartermasters of the Lao Feng clan. His qualifications are much older than Ji Yiqiao's, but he is able to conscientiously work hard to ensure supply according to the needs of the battlefield, which fully demonstrates the spirit of the old scalper.
In his joyful tone, what Zhang Hanqing heard was good news.
This gave him the confidence to say calmly to Ciano: "For negotiations, I need the Japanese government to show the greatest sincerity. At least until now, I have not heard or seen any statement from any Japanese politician calling for an armistice. It's just that you used the lion's big mouth to test my bottom line again and again. Mr. Ciano, maybe I shouldn't say this, but I still want to say: What benefits did the Japanese give you? You worked so hard to give them act dumb?"
Liao Yaquan suddenly got stuck. Although she is fluent in Chinese, her mastery of some common sayings is obviously insufficient. At least, she had trouble translating "horse tiger eye". She wanted to translate it into "help", but she felt it didn't fit Zhang Hanqing's context.
Zhang Hanqing quickly realized this. He glanced at Liao Yaquan with a smile: "Translation: 'Why do you work so hard to be a spy for them?'"
Liao Yaquan felt something in her heart, and her face changed. She glanced at Zhang Hanqing nervously, and found that his eyes were not on her side at all, but he continued to talk along his own train of thought.
"If the Japanese want an armistice, they must meet my demands: withdraw from Korea, return to Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, and stop harassing our territorial waters along the coast of China. Purposeless negotiations like this will only waste my time! I said that the armistice will last for ten years God, it’s already the seventh day, Mr. Qi, we don’t have much time left!”
Ciano’s face is very ugly. Being slapped in the face would be difficult for even an extrovert white man to accept. What’s more, he is an Italian aristocrat and has a major influence on his political life! He was very angry: "Mr. Marshal, I object to what you say. I am not a spy, I am the heir to the Ciano family of Italy!"
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "Of course! If you were not the heir of the Ciano family, you would have never had the opportunity to talk to me so many times! From the first time, I have not heard any sincere negotiation conditions. , if this is still such a cliche, I suggest that we stop this endless and meaningless dialogue, so that we can still be friends!"
Ciano was very angry, but it was useless. Who asked him to face a future Chinese leader who was more awesome, more distinguished, and more powerful than him? When he was on a mission to China and traveled among representatives of the great powers, he was always respected. On the one hand is the Italy he represents, on the other hand is his erudition, elegance and a naturally good face.
But when he met a young marshal who was more qualified than him, he was at a loss.
He was a little angry, but still asked calmly: "Young Marshal, do you mean that you still insist on continuing the fight and that North Korea will soon restart the war?"
Zhang Hanqing nodded: "As the saying goes, 'I will not attack others unless they attack me; if they attack me, I will attack them'. The attack has already reached the door of my own house, and I am not allowed to resist? Besides, the two sides have not signed an armistice agreement, so naturally they are still in trouble. In the middle of the war. But I keep my word, the ten-day verbal armistice agreement is still valid, and there is not much time left for the Japanese to prepare!"
Naturally, the negotiations broke down. But Ciano is a little strange. Today, Zhang Hanqing's tone is much tougher than before. Hasn't he always hoped that the ceasefire can be appropriately extended? As far as he knew, to be fair, Japan started this war in the first place, but for China, it was also a hasty event. They also needed time to lick their wounds. Why did the young marshal suddenly change his tone?
If he knew the reason why the always punctual Young Marshal was delayed for an unprecedented half an hour before this meeting, he would understand everything. Now, he could only pretend to ask Liao Yaquan something unintentionally.
Liao Yaquan shook his head lightly with equal ease and replied in Italian. Since she has been acting as an interpreter for both parties, conversing in Italian would be the safest way if they wanted to come.
Yes, not necessarily. At least there is a man dressed as a secretary in this room who understands. He was an Italian expert specially arranged by Zhang Hanqing, but he didn't make it known to the outside world. His task was to judge Ciano's speaking tone in order to better understand his mental activities.
“ Liao Yaquan knew nothing about this. Faced with Ciano's question, she just replied: "Everything was fine before lunch."
Ciano's question is that although he is Japan's "special envoy", the young marshal clearly knows about it and has always had a pleasant conversation. But why did he fall out so quickly? However, he was not allowed to think anymore. He concluded that once the ten-day period passed, China would be the first to destroy the peaceful situation. This news must be sent out as soon as possible.
Japan also needs to prepare in advance and use its own diplomatic power to put the responsibility for breaking the armistice on China. As Japan's "special envoy", when you enjoy the benefits, of course you have to help others to eliminate disasters. This is a gentleman's principle. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 940 The Young Marshal’s Anger
??
“All this happened only after Zhu Guangmu, Zhang Hanqing’s chief of staff and director of the Central Office of the CPC Central Committee, hurriedly entered his office during the 30 minutes of delay before attending the meeting. At that time, Zhang Hanqing slammed his fist on the desk, and the severe pain caused his body to convulse instantly.
"What?! The Japanese army massacred prisoners of war and the wounded!"
Zhu Guangmu learned about the Japanese army’s prisoner-killing operation through the embassy in Japan. More than 700 unarmed and seriously injured soldiers were slaughtered, and the other party was actually proud of it. At that moment, his anger was beyond words.
In war, whether it is aggression or self-defense, people will die. You can fight in a cunning way, or you can attack openly and openly. This is a jungle era, and it does not matter whether it is justice or not, only the size of your fists.
If you lose, you will admit it.
But killing prisoners has always been frowned upon. However, Japan likes to do this before and after history, and it mainly targets the Chinese. It even kills civilians without restraint. What's going on?
Not only that, after the 1st Division massacred more than 700 officers and soldiers, not only did they not feel ashamed, they even took photos with pride. What's more, some participating officers and soldiers even sent letters home to show off their bravery. These letters were published in the "Asahi Shimbun" by meddlesome people as evidence of the victory of the war, and they were easily obtained.
What followed was not condemnation, but cheers from all over Japan. No one questioned the cruelty of the techniques and the dirty means. The lamentations of the widows, wives and young children of the killed soldiers turned into the admiration of the Japanese nation!
The Chinese like to slander benevolence and justice and do not kill prisoners. In exchange for the tragic death of 30 million compatriots in eight years, the Japanese surrendered in exchange for hundreds of years of aggression against China. They fought against Tsarist Russia in the north, fought against the United States in the south, and dominated Southeast Asia, but they just died. Millions of people. If surrendering to the United States in recent decades is natural retribution, what is the cause and effect of the Chinese who died tragically at the hands of Japanese pirates for hundreds of years?
Which one is intolerable? Zhang Hanqing got up and slapped the case, which frightened Zhu Guangmu. Although he knew that the young commander must be very angry about this matter, he still felt scared when he saw the young commander getting angry.
That is the wrath of the emperor, the determination and charm that lays down millions of corpses and bleeds for thousands of miles. It is the momentum that silences countless people.
Zhang Hanqing really wanted to declare war on Japan, and this reason was enough; he wanted to immediately convene a meeting of the Political Bureau and the Military Commission of the Central Committee to discuss the matter. He believed that as long as he decided, the development of the incident would definitely go according to his ideas. ; He had the urge to report this matter to the press, so that the world could see the faces of Japanese soldiers!
But he held back.
It’s not because of cowardice or other concerns, it’s because he has thought of a better way to retaliate.
He ordered Zhu Guangmu: "Stop this news immediately, and no one who knows about it will say a word!"
Then, he personally called the Korean People's Army Headquarters. Ji Yiqiao received his instructions with a solemn expression. Afterwards, the headquarters was in a panic and the phone rang loudly.
Then, he personally called Zhang Zuolin of Zhongnanhai and reported his decision to him. Subsequently, an enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau and the Military Commission of the People's Party Central Committee was held urgently in Zhongnanhai.
Then, he personally found Foreign Minister Gu Weijun and asked him to draft a telegram to be sent out in major newspapers.
“Then, he had that conversation with Ciano…
The ten-day appointment was what he said to all walks of life at home and abroad ten days ago. The young marshal's words represent the will of the country and are a manifestation of the country's credibility. He will not go back on his words and his credibility with the outside world has always been good.
But he was going to make an exception this time.
There are still three days left before the agreed armistice period, and he has decided to let the Korean People's Army conduct a large-scale surprise attack. Maybe the People's Army was not ready, but the Japanese army was not much better either.
In war, under normal conditions, the competition is about strength, but more often than not, the competition is about the will of both sides to fight. Besides, the People's Army has great advantages under the current conditions.
When there is such a thing as killing prisoners, all morality will be on China's side, and no one will investigate why he did not keep his words: You ignored morality and became a villain first, and you have no right to ask me to be a gentleman!
So we still had this "negotiation" with Ciano, in order to tell the Chinese people through his mouth that they kept their promises, and also to give the Japanese army a guarantee that the war would come in three days. And if a large-scale raid is carried out at this time, what amazing results will be achieved!
He believes that those who hope for peace between China and Japan will be so disappointed after hearing this news, and countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States that hope for war between China and Japan will definitely loudly claim that China is the culprit of expanding the war!
The start of the war in three days will not only put pressure on the Japanese army, but also produce another effect: paralysis. The fight won't start until three days later, at least it's safe now!
Sure enough, when Ciano lookedAccording to the "Expression", it was abolished to 2, and later unified into the "Xianren Army", with a strength of 30,000.
Except for the lack of artillery, which is common in the Japanese army, this unit has no helmets. In addition to the two 11,000-man divisions, there is also a cavalry regiment, an engineer regiment, and a brigade of machine gun troops. The purpose is to be able to suppress resistance in various places line by line, but can be suppressed by any Japanese army in any minute.
It’s time to put them on the front lines. In this case, with this force, the central force has more than 90,000 people and can carry out maneuvers; with two complete divisions on each wing, with an attack and defense ratio of three to one, it can sustain it for a period of time.
It’s just support. Under the pressure of ten full armies of the People's Army on the opposite side, King Jiuregong Bangyan was under great pressure. While he urgently requested more troops from home, he was also preparing to fortify the army south of the Han River.
In his consideration, a front that is hundreds of kilometers wide is really not enough to completely resist the impact of the People's Army. Only by sticking to the river can he find a glimmer of hope. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 941 Seizing Love
??
To this end, he was prepared to retreat voluntarily and give up hundreds of kilometers of land north of the Han River that had cost nearly 10,000 lives.
Frankly speaking, his approach is very consistent with the current situation, because north of the Han River, although the large mountainous areas are not very flat, they are still suitable for large corps to fight. This is a great disadvantage to the Japanese army with few soldiers. After all, the people The army can choose to break through at multiple points by taking advantage of its large number of people. And like the Battle of Kanto Prefecture, once the defense line was breached, the Japanese army did not have a reserve team to choose from!
Fighting by rivers is much easier. The Beihan River and Zhaotong River have abundant flows. No matter how large the People's Army is, they still need to build bridges. Under the intensive Japanese artillery fire, this will be beneficial to the Japanese army.
Just as the Japanese and Korean troops were preparing to flee to the Han River, a stern telegram from the military headquarters ruined his plan.
"North Korea is the bridgehead of the empire on the Asian mainland. Although retreating to the Han River is more advantageous for defense under the current situation, China's army has the same benefits. They can capture a large area of ??land without any effort and are very likely to form a north-south boundary with me along the Han River. This will create difficulties for future imperial counterattacks. And if we retreat without a fight, where will the reputation of our Imperial Army be?
Therefore, your Excellency, Commander, must stick to the current position. The Imperial Navy is also preparing to coordinate the garrison on the east and west coasts. Three domestic divisions have been sent to Pusan, and at least ten more divisions will be armed to go north in the future. Therefore, this is a very critical moment. You and others should put the overall interests of the empire first and fight to the death before settling down. "
General Kunihiko Kunihiko himself has a very high status in the army, and he is also the father-in-law of the current Emperor Hirohito. He spares no effort to protect the emperor's status. Since the military department said so, it seemed that the domestic situation had reached a point where he could not retreat even a little bit, so he chose to give in.
He believed that since the navy was helping and reinforcements had arrived, the Chinese army would not dare to fight a decisive battle without breaking the bank, not to mention that according to intelligence, they also needed to rest and recuperate.
This hesitation caused him to miss a good opportunity to stabilize the North Korean front. Under his order, the remaining seven divisions, local troops and the Imperial Army began to concentrate on building defensive positions, waiting for the big battle three days later.
All is ready except for the opportunity. According to Ji Yiqiao's deployment, the Korean People's Army will launch a full-scale attack in the early morning of tomorrow.
Waiting is anxious and depressing. At this time, he thought of Ruan Lingyu. I haven't seen her for a few days. Is everything okay now? In order to get a chance to get along with her, he gave her the position of leader of the frontline art troupe. Just to get away from the attention of the two sisters in Shanghai, he personally sent them to the Korean front line yesterday morning.
There will be a war tomorrow. The two of them and the Shanghai delegation should only stay in Pyongyang, but will Fengzhi be in danger on the front line? The future mother of the country will be in the labor force, and the Japanese army may not have thought that in this peaceful and good situation, there would be the largest war on the battlefield in modern Asia! Is this a deception?
“I feel a little uneasy about letting Sister Fengzhi take this risk!” However, letting her leave hastily would most likely alert the Japanese army and reduce the suddenness of the battle.
Even though he said this, his steps did not stop. Now, our young marshal has completely reached the state where he is longing for her in his heart but his body is in someone else's bed. It's useless to think about it, it's better to go and relax.
When the social scene was busy, our young marshal had already arrived at the main square, where the Soviet Consulate in Dalian was located. However, Zhang Hanqing didn't want to get close to them, just because Ruan Lingyu lived nearby.
Zhang Hanqing stopped in front of a two-story building full of foreign flavor. This is a semi-new building that imitates Japanese architecture. I think the owner still had some status during the Japanese occupation of Dalian, or he was a gentry with good conditions, so the atmosphere is not bad. After all, Ruan Lingyu had worked in foreign trade for ten miles, and her vision was very good, which was in line with her petty bourgeoisie status.
But this petty bourgeoisie, Zhang Hanqing’s definition is “a person who wants to burn buns but can’t”!
The young marshal was dispatched, and although the guards were in line with the custom of not disturbing the people and not showing off, they still had what they should have. Ten minutes before Zhang Hanqing entered the courtyard, several teams of people had already checked every room and every corner of the courtyard.
Not long after Dalian was liberated, there were some unsafe factors. After the Central Guard Corps filtered them with a highly dedicated attitude, all the peripheral personnel were transferred out.
Such a big move can’t help but surprise the people in the building. After careful investigation and confirming that there was nothing abnormal here, Zhang Hanqing had already stepped through the door.
Miss Zhu Wu is still very cheerful in doing things, which is also because of her family background. Having grown up in a honeypot since childhood, he naturally knows how to settle the person the young commander likes. She selected a few of her servants and maids and gave them to Ruan Lingyu, which really saved Ruan a lot of worry.
Things in life can beShe was very familiar with Ge, and he hit her weak spot in just a few words. So although Ruan Lingyu was shaking with anger, she didn't say anything else.
Zhang Hanqing is finally done with the injustice. He looked at Zhang Damin and really didn't expect that there was such a villain in his family. He knows the weight of these rumors: there is no definite evidence for slander, and the crime is very light, but it does great harm to the person being spread the rumors. It is said that spitting can kill people, but ordinary people really have nothing to do with such people. Method.
But who is Zhang Hanqing? The young marshal of the Republic of China who mastered the barrel of a gun, an official hat, and a pen, is now the country's second-in-command and the future national leader of China! He closed his eyes and said calmly to Zhang Damin: "You are so loud! I would like to see which domestic newspaper in Shanghai dares to publish such news! As for foreign countries, I don't think you have the ability!"
Although Zhang Damin was single, he was still afraid of Zhang Hanqing. He didn't dare to reply, but said with an aggrieved face: "Young Marshal, this is my family matter, you better not get involved. We are fighting for the common people, reputation does not matter, you are the Young Marshal, every move has a great impact!"
This sentence is obviously softening, but in fact it is tough. It depends on whether Zhang Hanqing will accept this. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 942 Firepower
??
Zhang Hanqing really doesn’t like this.
“ This kind of person, if you are weak, he will be strong. If you can’t make him obey you, Ruan Lingyu will be even more powerless and unable to control him. I really don’t understand where his courage comes from? Isn’t Shanghai the territory of China? He was a low-class gangster, and he actually threatened him!
"Oh, I would like to know how you affected my reputation?" He pointed at Ruan Lingyu: "But let me tell you, Miss Ruan is now the head of the frontline art troupe of the People's Army. It is an army establishment and a national work personnel."
Zhang Hanqing faced Zhang Damin majestically: "If you dare to threaten state workers, you are going against the country and the people's government. The door of Shanghai Beixinjing Prison will always be open for you!"
With Zhang Hanqing’s toughness, Zhang Damin didn’t dare to be stubborn anymore. It's OK for him to threaten others, but it's a joke to threaten Zhang Hanqing who walked through a pile of dead people. He was someone who dared to bombard British warships, and now he's actually fighting the Japanese. They used to be a big city in Shanghai. The two gods in the hearts of the residents!
???????????????? But a bachelor is a bachelor, and the young commander has something to say first. Zhang Damin does not dare to threaten Ruan Lingyu anymore, but he has a way to solve it. Didn’t the young marshal fall in love with Ruan Lingyu? Given his status, doesn't he have any grudge against her being a young woman? He had a lot of daughters from famous families who stretched out their heads to give her to his arms. This was the case for the two sisters in Shanghai. I heard that Tang Ying, the daughter of another wealthy family, the Tang family, also took the initiative to throw herself into his arms.
So Zhang Damin changed his expression to a pitiful expression and nodded in agreement: "I don't dare, I don't dare. It's just that I have lived with Ruan Lingyu for more than two years, and we have been in love with each other for a long time. My feelings for her are true, Shanghai Everyone in Tan, young and old, knows it. The young marshal is trying to steal love, and I dare not disobey him. But for this shabby shoe, the young marshal is ruining his reputation. I don’t think it’s worth it.”
His expression changed so quickly that Zhang Hanqing felt that he, not Ruan Lingyu, should be suitable for acting in the movie. In order to silence Zhang Hanqing, he spared no effort to belittle Ruan Lingyu, even saying "broken shoes".
Ruan Lingyu was feeling bitter, this kind of insult was the limit of what she could tolerate, and now he was talking about her in front of the young marshal, describing her as a woman who didn't love herself, which made her feel so embarrassed! She was choked with tears, speechless, just crying.
This aroused Zhang Hanqing’s anger. It is a man's nature and responsibility to protect women, the weak and beautiful things from destruction, not to mention that Ruan Lingyu possesses these three characteristics? If this person slanders Ruan Lingyu in front of him, doesn't it mean that he is hungry and not selective about food? If you say so, I will take care of this matter and I will take care of her!
He suddenly approached Zhang Damin, looked closer, and slapped him. Zhang Damin was just proud of his cleverness, but how could he have thought that this man would take action without saying anything? It's true that he was a gangster, but he spent the whole day in casinos, smokehouses and brothels, and his body had long since collapsed. Of course, his reaction was far inferior to that of Zhang Hanqing, who often trained in the military.
This slap, with a "bang" sound, hit his face firmly, making stars appear in his eyes. Zhang Hanqing succeeded with one blow, and without stopping, he raised his foot and kicked him in the crook of his calf, knocking him to the ground.
Most of the officers and soldiers of the Central Guard Division are from the Armed Police Force, and there are many good fighters. When I have nothing to do, I will ask them for advice.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of all the money the young marshal has to teach him, it’s a pity that he’s not a martial artist. He only uses his strength to strengthen his body, so he hasn’t learned any deeper moves. However, I have learned this kick skillfully. It was originally a form of "Tan Kick". I used it on Zhang Damin today and it has achieved initial results.
Zhang Damin had no defense at all. How could he have thought that this world-famous young marshal would go on to engage in all-out martial arts at the slightest disagreement? As he struggled to get up, he shouted: "Why did you hit me?!"
Zhang Hanqing was full of heroic spirit. He had not fought so happily for a long time, and it was a one-sided massacre. In front of women, no amount of personal bravery can be overstated. He pointed at Zhang Damin and said loudly: "I beat you to teach you not to insult women! Men like you are just taking advantage of a little money to take advantage of the situation. Pigs and dogs are stronger than you, and you are not even worthy to carry her shoes!"
Zhang Damin actually wanted to jump up and fight Zhang Hanqing, but Zhang Hanqing didn't give him a chance. When he tried to stand up, Zhang Hanqing kicked him hard on the waist again. This time it was even more cruel. Zhang Damin said "ouch" and lay on the floor like a dead dog.
Youdao is afraid of the hard, the hard is afraid of the arrogant, the arrogant is afraid of the lifeless, the lifeless is afraid of the shameless, and the shameless is afraid of the shameless. When encountering a person like Zhang Hanqing who has no taboos in doing things, Zhang Damin is at his wits end. Seeing Zhang Hanqing preparing to kick, he no longer dared to get up.
No matter how arrogant you are, you know you can’t have an argument with the young commander, so you just say to encourage yourself: “I’m going to court to sue you!”
&nThe impact of ? and the extreme cooperation brought about extreme irritation. Zhang Hanqing conquered this woman with a tragic life experience vividly, and also brought a turning point in her life, and her destiny was completely different from now on.
With a long breath, Zhang Hanqing sent out ferocious firepower, causing the body beneath him to tremble and tremble.
After being gentle for a long time, Ruan Lingyu came out of shyness and turned into a ray of tenderness. Weak women need such strong men the most. The balance of yin and yang is the way for all things to survive. She whispered in his ear: "Young Marshal, you were very fierce just now."
Zhang Hanqing has heard this sentence many times, which makes men feel the most sense of accomplishment. However, he is still satisfied with his performance just now. His whole body was still together with her, and his heart was filled with the joy of conquest: "I wonder which firepower I just fired is stronger than the firepower I am about to deal with the Japanese?"?

Chapter 943 Raid
While the young marshal was galloping to bed, the People's Army on the Korean front launched the largest offensive war since the war between China and Japan against the Japanese army on the opposite side. The three corps of the East, West, and Central | Central Corps suddenly launched at 4 o'clock in the morning, and nearly 2,000 artillery continued to sweep fire for more than ten minutes amid the roar.
The estimation of Zhang Hanqing is not bad, because the young lady Yu Fengzhi personally worked for the army, the Japanese Korean military intelligence department believed that the People's Army was prepared in accordance with the requirements of Zhang Hanqing's ten-day agreement, and it was confirmed from the mouths of friends and Liao Yaquan that this battle There are still a few days of buffering for the battle, so there is no preparation for this attack.
They would never have imagined that the Chinese would play their tricks, start an undeclared war or use the tactic of exhaustion. Previously, most of the officers and soldiers were preparing to retreat to the south of the Han River, but they were stunned because the Japanese military headquarters finally rejected the combat deployment. The war started before the headquarters had time to agree on the defense scope of each department.
This large-scale attack by the Korean People's Army was sudden and effective. The Japanese army was completely stunned. So much so that when King Kunihiko Gongyan received a call from the frontline division commander in his sleep that he was under attack, he couldn't believe it. real.
"Your Excellency, Commander, we encountered the most violent attack by the Chinese army. They used many cannons and countless bombers. We suffered heavy casualties! I judge that the enemy will soon launch a ground attack. Please give urgent support, Commander!" "
Such news came from three places: left, center and right, which put the headquarters in a dilemma. King Jiure Gong Bangyan had already determined that this was a large-scale attack by the People's Army.
"Oh, the damned China army actually made false claims and caught us off guard. This is a shameless act!"
He forgot the ancient Chinese saying that "soldiers are treacherous", and also forgot that undeclared war is the tradition of the Japanese army. Before the two sides reach a real armistice agreement, any military action is legal, reasonable and reasonable. Sneak attacks and assaults are originally common methods of military warfare.
In order to achieve the suddenness of the battle, Ji Yiqiao carried out large-scale construction projects in several places, so that the world knew that China would build airports in several important places such as Pyongyang and Chongjin. The Japanese are not interested in this, because it will take at least three months to build the airport. If the Chinese want a war, why is Japan unprepared? Slowness will not help, where will fear come from?
But Ji Yiqiao had already secretly gathered ten army engineering regiments to urgently arrange airstrips at the Pingshan and Xipu lines. During the Battle of Guandong Province, he was deeply impressed by the power of the H-1, which also made him fully accept the Marshal's concept of air-ground battle. As the war progressed, he arranged for the accompanying air force officers to find suitable bases. Prepare for the subsequent Sino-Japanese war.
When the front line was in full swing, who would pay attention to such a small move of his? Because of the need to repair the damaged railways and roads, two railway divisions from China entered North Korea. They were making trouble in various places. The Japanese army did not have enough energy to accompany them. The limited detection firepower network was not enough.
So without anyone noticing, two airports were built. Ground crews from 4 wings entered the two airports in advance to prepare. Then the day before the war began, a total of more than 100 fighter and bomber groups turned into the airport in batches along the coastline of West Korea to avoid possible attacks from the north. The remaining Japanese intelligence personnel. Once we're close to the front line, it's relatively safer.
By the way, flying close to the sea is also the young commander's masterpiece.
After a long period of dormancy, the Chinese Air Force has been replenished and strengthened.
Since the Battle of Guandong Prefecture basically wiped out the Japanese army, the Chinese army's tactics of infantry, tank, and air coordination were hidden. Senior Japanese military officers only knew that the fighting in Kanto Prefecture was brutal, but they also knew very little about how it was deployed. They only knew that China dispatched tanks and aircraft.
They all have tanks and planes, but they just didn’t think of using them. By the time the factories began mass production, the front lines had ceased fire. Therefore, from the beginning to the end, the Japanese army had no plan to deploy tanks or aircraft, and there was no plan to deal with them. The senior officials of the headquarters still had the same understanding of army operations as during World War I.
Since the Japanese army completed the process from the end of the Tokugawa period to the Meiji Restoration in more than ten years from mainly cold weapons to rear-mounted rifled firearms, which took Europe and the United States hundreds of years to complete, coupled with Japan's modern military industry, especially in munitions In terms of supply, it has never been able to reach the level of Europe and the United States. The Japanese army emphasizes infantry as the core of the tactical system. This is the so-called "white soldier omnipotence".
According to the recollections of British and German diplomatic attachés who participated in Japanese Army training in the 1920s, they found that Japanese infantrymen were obsessed with military gymnastics to enhance arm strength and flexibility, and spent a considerable amount of time every day conducting assassination training.
Starting from the first month after entering the camp, new recruits undergo long-distance marching training with heavy loads every month. Ordinary infantrymen carry a load of 40 kilograms. Frail junior soldiers faint and even die.??Appeared in almost all infantry regiments.
From the perspective of the quality of individual soldiers, the Japanese Army can be said to be the most hard-working, most rigorously trained, and bravest army in the world. It can be seen from their outfit: 30 kilograms of complete equipment, including rifles, grenades, 180 rounds of 6.5 mm bullets, steel helmets, kettles, lunch boxes, gas masks, even cross cookers, engineer shovels, and several days of dry food.
The Japanese are not well-known for their height. As for why they are so tall in later generations, this is because Japan attached great importance to its youth after its defeat. It was also the first country in Asia to implement a free breakfast plan, and it began to surpass China in the 1950s. Of course, the U.S. troops stationed in Japan will say: My credit, haha.
With such a heavy load and typical short stature, it cannot but be said that they are indeed citizens who are good at enduring humiliation and bearing heavy loads.
Such first-rate soldiers were led by third-rate officers. This was true during the Russo-Japanese War, and it was also true during the Battle of Nomonkan. The military attachés from major powers who watched the battle in the Japanese Army gave quite objective evaluations.
The observer’s perspective is often much more macroscopic and comprehensive than that of the parties involved, because they can see the shape of the entire battlefield. As officers with combat experience, they were able to fully analyze why the Japanese army lacked effectiveness in its offensive.
"As far as the level of risk-taking is concerned, the Japanese soldiers have nothing to say. They even believe that there is no one braver than the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield. Even the Chinese soldiers are not as brave as this. The crux of the Japanese army's main problem was the lack of flexibility and creativity at the command level. The army was trained too rigidly and the soldiers only fought according to fixed procedures. When this procedure did not work, they did not know what to do.
Once upon a time, Japan's military machine was also considered difficult to deal with by the West, but now observers have to say that the Japanese army is actually only third-rate - measured by European standards.
Historically, the third-rate Japanese army was able to show off its power in China, of course because the Chinese army was even more inferior. When the Korean People's Army reached or even surpassed the Japanese army in terms of equipment and morale, the advancement of the Chinese army's command system was immediately clearly verified.
The Battle of Seoul is a perfect example. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 944 Devastated
The entire campaign is centered on the west. In Zhang Hanqing's gradually revised Korean War plan, the ultimate goal of the Western Corps was to completely occupy the Seoul and Incheon lines.
Seoul is located on the lower reaches of the Han River, 28 kilometers away from Incheon Port on the west coast. The latter is located in the narrowest "wasp waist" in the east-west direction of the Korean Peninsula. By controlling these two cities, the Japanese army will not be able to bypass here and threaten the People's Army from behind. They can only consume the Chinese army on the front of the Korean Peninsula and ultimately follow the pace set by Zhang Hanqing.
Moreover, the low mountains and hills around Seoul with an altitude of about 500 meters, such as the Fortress, play a natural protective role; the Han River flows slowly from east to west, passing through the center of Seoul City, and its water surface is 400 meters to less than one kilometer wide. etc., which will bring certain convenience to future defense across the river. Whoever controls Seoul can gain the buffer advantage on the other side.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A new round of war between China and Japan, using superior force to capture this place first, will be of great benefit to future military deployment, so Ji Yiqiao is determined to win and uses most of his limited air force here.
The ground fighting in the west started with the launch of the 1st Armored Division.
This is a new army model unit that Zhang Hanqing spent huge sums of money to build. It was selected as the sharp knife in the front, and the whole division was full of desire to fight. Their predecessors had made great achievements in Kanto State, and this unit, which had received new tanks and new artillery, was determined not to let their predecessors dominate.
The 25-ton Type 27 is indeed much taller and more powerful than the 15-ton T-20. With seven years of industrial accumulation, its progress is also obvious: the engine technology is stable, the armor is much thicker, and the offensive weapons are replaced by A more powerful 75mm caliber.
There are also self-propelled artillery that can accompany tanks for fire support, which opened the eyes of the three Nazi heroes who participated in the war in China. For the first time in history, there is a weapon that can support tanks at such close range for fire suppression without having to consider the difficulties associated with the inability of towed artillery to maneuver. In terms of tank firepower, it can be regarded as a power multiplier.
For two months, the Japanese Army did not have weapons that could effectively defend against tanks. The 37mm infantry guns they used were ineffective against the Type 27, and most of them had been defeated by the second round of self-propelled artillery follow-up.
The Japanese army also had artillery, but when the Japanese troops on the front line suffered heavy losses from the artillery and tank troops of the People's Army, they showed no sign of helping. When the captains of the front lines hurriedly asked the division headquarters for help, they received desperate answers.
The artillery regiment was basically destroyed!
This is the credit of the newly established Korean People’s Army Air Force. In the first wave of bombings, they targeted the important facilities of the Japanese army: artillery positions, armories, and headquarters. While the infantry was building defenses, the Japanese artillery was also preparing to choose a location. Their heavy artillery was piled in the open space behind, which was an excellent target for the air force.
There was basically no counterattack from the air defense force. The idle Chinese escort fighter team even used the machine gun on the nose of the aircraft to shoot at the skirmishers, leaving the chaotic artillery remnants unable to organize corresponding resistance.
The artillery regiments of the two divisions were unable to play a corresponding role. What was tragic was the infantry on the front line. In front of the "big birds" flying densely in the sky, the Japanese army experienced the baptism of their souls.
These grassroots soldiers who advocate "bravery" and "martial arts" receive "infantry almighty" training. Under the weak Japanese military industry conditions, some have never even seen a car!
And the Chinese tank attack also deliberately chose to be at the junction of the two divisions in the west, which is also their most vulnerable part. Amidst the rumble of Chinese tanks, the Japanese troops facing them were either crushed or fled, but not many escaped with their lives, because the "Qing" heavy machine guns accompanying the Chinese tanks fired at a speed far faster than their running footsteps.
Without heavy artillery and completed trenches that could stop the enemy, the battlefield was destined to be one-sided.
In the armored division headquarters closest to the battlefield, Guderian watched in disbelief as the combat staff responsible for reporting battles placed small red flags symbolizing the capture of positions on the sand table in front of them. The rapid advance of China's armored forces was an eye-opener for him. Manstein, who risked his life to watch the battle from the front, exclaimed after the war: "This is a war in which a sickle cuts butter!"
In response to the calls for help from the two divisions in the west, King Jiure Gongbunyan did not dare to divide his troops. Bad news has come from the two eastern divisions. The Chinese army took advantage of the mountainous terrain of eastern Korea. Before the campaign was launched, one of them had already detoured to the vicinity of Chunchuan and Fengyam-ri in the south of the Zhaotong River. The strategic intention was very obvious: that was It is necessary to cut off the connection with the Central Japanese Army and divide and surround these two divisions.
Chinese soldiers have a big appetite!
By the way, the General of Jiure Palace has a far better understanding of China than ordinary people, and he also evaluates China from a very positive perspective. Japan’s domestic relations with ChinaHe never used the traditional contemptuous term "China". Respecting even a weak opponent is a necessary factor in not making mistakes in the military.
He once treated China’s national defense strategy of vigorously developing the air force to make up for the shortage of the navy with a cautious attitude, believing that this was a wise decision by the Chinese leaders. He also believed that the trend of world military affairs after World War I would be aviation, so he highly praised Yamamoto Isoroku, the admiral who had studied naval aviation, and protected him at his lowest ebb.
In an atmosphere where the army and navy are at odds with each other, it is indeed extraordinary that he has this kind of insight. This kind of prudence and vision also made him one of the best army generals in Japan, and he was known as a rare talent among the nobles.
There are fierce battles and battles on both the east and west roads. There is no reason why the Central Corps of the Korean People's Army of the three armies on the opposite side should not make big moves. Perhaps, they were just preparing to deal a heavy blow after they divided their forces. Besides, it is still unclear whether the three injured divisions and some local troops in his hands can withstand the attack of the opposite army.
Precisely because he stands still, he is more likely to plan far-reaching goals.
But the personal distress call from the division commander Shi Guangzhenchen finally gave him a new idea: "Commander, we are trapped in a tight siege by the China Army. They have used hundreds of aircraft and hundreds of tanks. If there are no reinforcements, the empire's two The entire division will be destroyed!"
King Jiu Nei Gong Bangyan took a breath of cold air. He served as commander for more than a month in the Korean War. Although all divisions were damaged, and even a regiment in the third division was completely wiped out and the regiment flag was captured, there has never been a division-level organic formation that was defeated. thing.
Although four divisions were lost within a period of time after the start of the Sino-Japanese War, he always believed that it was just an accident, and that the losses of the Chinese army must be very serious, and they were just kept secret to boost morale, just as he said about the losses. The outside world has the same attitude.
This is one of the reasons why he dared to use 7 divisions to deal with 10 Chinese armies.
But when they were ready to seize the opportunity and prepare to use the intrusion of Ji Xing, commander of the 3rd Army of the People's Army, to seize the first success of the Korean counterattack, they were forced to let go of this unit under completely favorable circumstances and lost one and a half regiments. When he saw an extremely important military flag, he realized that he was still too confident.
??The three divisions that the Japanese government has been proud of since the Meiji Restoration were unable to eat a single army of the People's Army. Instead, they were waiting for an opportunity to bite them back!
Only then did he urgently seek help from the country, and received emergency dispatch from three divisions. He calculated that this force with heavy equipment could arrive within three days, and when the pressure on the defense line would be relieved suddenly, the war started in advance.
Now that both the left and right wings are at a disadvantage, should they divide their forces and use refueling tactics, or should they find another way to reverse the situation? King Jiuergong Bangyan fell into deep thought.
However, the People's Army did not let the east and west troops dominate the front, and the Central Corps with Shang Zhen as the commander was dispatched. Originally, his mission was to hold back the main force of the Japanese army so that they did not dare to divide their forces and complete the court's planned plan to conquer Seoul and Inchon. In the final analysis, the central and eastern fronts are just feint attacks, and the western front is the focus.
In this war for which the People's Army was well prepared, the Japanese army was destined to lose from the beginning.
Relying on the strong industrial base and economic conditions of the Northeast, there is no need for assistance from within the customs. Ammunition, food, and clothing are all available. Moreover, the climate conditions in the Northeast are similar to those of North Korea. Preparations for winter are relatively convenient, and they can also support the Korean People's Army in a large-scale campaign. of battle. After all preparations were completed, and still through Liao Yaquan's mouth, the People's Army launched the autumn offensive in mid-October.
It’s not that Zhang Hanqing didn’t want to cause the battle to be sudden, but that he didn’t want to give the Japanese a chance to breathe. The People's Army has 10 corps with more than 470,000 people, and the Japanese army has 7 divisions and two garrisons with about 180,000 people. This is a situation in which China has a huge military advantage. Under the condition that neither side recruits more troops from home, the People's Army will tear a hole in the Japanese defense line even if it crushes them hard.
The result is exactly the same.
The Japanese troops retreating from the East and West Korea Bay suddenly encountered extremely strong firepower and were defeated one after another. They spent nearly ten days on landing operations and maintained a stalemate for two weeks. They were on par with the most elite 27th Army and 29th Army of the People's Army. They thought that the People's Army was nothing more than this. However, when the two armies really showed their strength, they suddenly felt overwhelmed.
There is no other way. The uncompromising spirit, sophisticated equipment, and well-trained officers and soldiers did not allow the Japanese army to gain any advantage. The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. The two vanguards who have no worries do not need many tactics at all. They just keep outflanking the two wings towards the seaside and use the huge population advantage to crush them. The Japanese army could not defeat a war of attrition.
Similarly, the three Japanese divisions opposite the Central Corps struggled to withstand wave after wave of offensives. Because they did not have enough troops to garrison on the wider front, they could not stand on the front line of hundreds of kilometers from west to east. The organization cannot afford an effective defense.
Originally, the Central Corps said it was a feint attack, but the 18th Army, which became more and more successful as it fought, was actually the first of the three to break through the Japanese defense line under the leadership of Shang Zhen!
This is due to the hesitation of Commander Kunihiko Kuni. During the stalemate stage, he finally couldn't bear the pleading of the commander of Shi Guang Division and transferred the 10th Regiment from the 4th Division closest to the Western Front for support.
But this action shook the morale of the Merchant Division, which was already weak in combat effectiveness, and the situation suddenly became chaotic. It was from here that the People's Army took the lead in breaking through. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Therefore, it is impossible to organize an effective defense on a front line of hundreds of kilometers from west to east.

Chapter 945 Two Japs
The replacement of the 10th Regiment was a regiment of the Royal Association Army Division with lower equipment.
The 10th Regiment is of the same origin as its parent organization. It has the cunningness of a businessman and its tradition of avoiding hard problems and focusing on chewing soft bones in combat. It is looked down upon by several other elite divisions. Compared with it, the combat morale of the Royal Association Army, which is composed entirely of Korean soldiers and has Japanese as mid-level and senior generals, is not weak.
?? These North Korean "second devils" who have been seriously enslaved did not pay attention to the Chinese army at all before the war. Even if their masters suffered successive setbacks, they still stubbornly believed that this was due to acclimatization. Compared with the Japanese army, these "new Japanese" whose ancestors fully accepted Chinese Confucianism are more cruel to the Chinese than the Japanese. It seems that only in this way can they show their "loyalty" to the government.
Mr. Lao She of later generations accurately described this in "Four Generations Under One Roof": "The pioneers of Japanese women are the Korean Bangzi - high-level slaves. They not only rob, but also practice according to their own nature. They are a You eat a few of your watermelons without spending any money, and you have to destroy a few of them. In contrast, Japanese ladies feel that they are not so mean - they just grab things, not destroy them. Since the beginning of summer, There are no more vendors selling vegetables and fruits, so people in the small sheepfold have to make do with what they have.”
Originally, this army could only do logistics and stabilize the rear positions, so it was a last resort to let them go to the front line. But they didn't have the consciousness to be cannon fodder. They thought that the time had come to serve their master. Wouldn't they be happy if they could show their skills and make their master look at them differently?
When the leading troops of the 18th Army approached the Japanese position under the cover of artillery fire, they suddenly discovered a strange army. This army was armed with long guns, and their appearance and appearance were the same as those of ordinary Japanese soldiers, but strangely they did not wear helmets.
Since the modern steel helmet was invented by French General Adrian during World War I, it has become the standard equipment for infantry in various countries. Although the helmet is not impenetrable to bullets - if it were a helmet that was impenetrable to bullets, it would be too much for a person's neck. But it is mainly used to protect the head from shrapnel damage.
As for bullets, if the opponent's bullet does not hit the center of the helmet, since the helmet is a curved surface, most of it will slip away. This is the protective effect of the helmet.
Before 1920, the Japanese army did not have helmets. From this point of view, it can be proved that the Japanese Army is indeed very backward!
By the mid-1920s, influenced by the tactics of trench warfare in World War I, Japan discovered through research that artillery fragmentation damage was one of the most important components of soldier casualties in trench warfare. In addition, the Fengjun and the People's Army also began to develop helmets during the same period. With the idea of ??never losing to the Chinese, we started the plan to develop our own helmets.
At first, they also referred to types from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. After considering cost and performance factors, they finally successfully designed a simple helmet made of carbon steel and linen lined in early 1926 and delivered it to the troops.
The plan is to first deploy the elite seven divisions and the Guards Division that were first established, and then tilt them to other units. After the Sino-Japanese War broke out, many second-line troops were unequipped. Naturally, the "Second Japs" were even less qualified.
Therefore, judging whether there is a helmet is an important reference for distinguishing whether the opponent is the main force of the Japanese army or a second-line force. When the 18th Army saw the Japanese soldiers with their bare heads exposed, some people immediately knew that this was not the main force of the Japanese army.
However, this army turned out to be extremely tenacious. They shouted loudly and rushed out of the simple positions, intercepting the whereabouts of the People's Army regardless of casualties. Their fighting will was even stronger than that of ordinary Japanese soldiers.
It was originally a full-scale attack, but now that it was blocked by these clowns, the entire army's attack was stalled. Under their counterattack, some positions were successfully counterattacked by this enemy.
When he learned that the enemy on the opposite side was just a group of "Er Japs" without heavy artillery, Shang Zhen yelled at the commander of the 53rd Division: "The brothers' troops have beaten all the regular Japs to pieces, but you are scared to pieces by a group of 'Er Japs'" How courageous! How shameful! Can you guys do it? If not, switch to the 54th Division!"
The commander of the 53rd Division also held his breath. He sent someone to send a message to the commander of the front line who was responsible for the main attack: "The young marshal once taught us that the 'second devil' is more hateful than the devil. Don't care whether he is a human or a ghost. Give me a hard blow." Fight, let them all go to hell!"
So, this imperial association army suffered a disaster.
The commander of the main attack regiment, who knew his shame but was brave, asked for a battalion of artillery to support him. Almost as soon as the crackling sound of artillery sounded, his entire regiment rushed forward. Any Japanese who resisted, held a gun, or could not raise a gun high enough were to be shot to death. The battlefield situation is so changeable, how can there be time to care whether they are fighting, surrendering or fleeing?
"Saying one's life for the master can only be said in words. For people who can betray their country, you can really expect them to throw their lives away."?Hot-blooded? Therefore, after the People's Army's artillery and machine guns killed thousands of people, some Imperial Army soldiers who saw that the momentum was not good began to actively "disengage" from the battle, causing the entire brigade's defense line to be torn apart.
The edge of the middle road was breached, and the Japanese military headquarters urgently mobilized the 4th Border Guard Team to take over. This is a regiment-level organization composed of retired veterans. It has 12 infantry guns and its combat effectiveness is no less than that of a regular regiment. It is well-trained to form a second line of defense five miles behind.
However, due to the defeat of the Imperial Alliance Army, the mass flight of thousands of people inevitably impacted the assembly and defensive formations of the border guards, and inevitably shook the morale of the Japanese army.
The garrison captain angrily ordered to shoot at the "Second Japanese" who were attacking the defense line. These Korean traitors, who had served the Japanese well, were now ruthlessly abandoned by their masters.
Some quick-witted people know that rushing over will lead to death, so they cleverly pretend to be dead or directly surrender to the People's Army. Those who are slow to react will inevitably be shot by the front and rear attacks. In an instant, the front lines of the Japanese army's positions were filled with mourning, and countless people were killed and wounded.
A garrison of more than 3,000 people suffered more than half casualties under the attack of the People's Army, but at least it was able to contain the People's Army's offensive.
Because of the existence of these Japanese soldiers, the People's Army cannot fully exert its firepower——it will not attack the soldiers who are kneeling and surrendering, right? You can't rush forward through so many kneeling soldiers, right? The time spent in the 100-meter sprint and the 100-meter hurdles is definitely different!
When the offensive was lagging behind, the commander of the main offensive regiment wisely chose to stop the attack to reduce casualties. Charging five miles in one breath is definitely more exciting and tiring than cross-country travel with heavy loads. After organizing the formation, part of the team was used to prevent the Japanese counterattack, part of the team was used to clean the battlefield and rescue the wounded, and the rest began to capture prisoners.
"The "Imperial Association Army" of this brigade was killed by the People's Army, hundreds of people were killed by the Japanese army, and more than 2,000 people were killed. Excluding the casualties and those doing business, there were about a few hundred people in the main attack group to deal with the prisoners.
If it were 2,000 pigs, it would be enough to keep them busy, but because they were human beings, it would be much easier for them to catch them, because most of these people came "on their own initiative" - ??there was no other way out. It's better to take the initiative. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 946 Great Victory in Seoul
Even to deal with the remaining half of the garrison, the 18th Army had no intention of using manpower to conquer. An hour later, the artillery unit, which had been ordered to push forward, used artillery shells to dig large holes for the Japanese army.
Until they were unable to fight back, the People's Army Infantry Regiment went to clean up the battlefield. Many Japanese soldiers no longer need their help - the bomb craters where they were buried were buried deep in the soil by the dust raised by other bomb craters. It is quite a perfect destination and there is no need to bury them again. It can be regarded as giving it to the people before they die. A big gift from the army.
Those who were lucky enough to survive were dug out of the soil by kind-hearted People's Army soldiers in a state of confusion.
The artillery fire of the People's Army is too sharp.
The situation on other battlefields is similar. The three groups took action at the same time. Nine armies and seven divisions of the Japanese army were mixed together. This time it was an all-round attack. It relied on the advantage of more people and more artillery to bully the minority, bully the minority with more, and suppress others with force. . Concerned about one thing and losing sight of the other, the Japanese troops in the center no longer had the heart to support the two wings - they couldn't even fill up their own holes!
The disadvantage of the Japanese military headquarters was that it had too much time to rest and recuperate, and it lacked the foresight of this battle. The carefully formulated plan was rejected by the military headquarters, resulting in a situation where it was neither defensive nor prepared to retreat.
Because they believed that Liao Yaquan had successfully "infiltrated" the young marshal, the Japanese army was also "prepared" for this attack, but the plan was only slightly delayed. They can't be entirely blamed. Who would have thought that the launch of this battle was entirely due to Zhang Hanqing's mood?
Because of the defeat of the "Royal Association Army" on the left wing of the center, the 4th Border Guard Corps was also implicated. As a last resort, after using an almost self-inflicted burst of firepower, the already insane North Korean "second devils" gave up their thoughts of attacking the headquarters and instead extended their hands to the People's Army. But the People's Army, which became more and more successful as they fought, simply took care of these old Japanese soldiers.
Without heavy firepower, this Asian powerhouse that has always claimed to be the most powerful team is mediocre. The People's Army used artillery to suppress the formation and used machine guns to clear the way, forcing the troops to turn upside down. Only then did the People's Army, who had found their senses, encounter a truly comparable opponent. Unfortunately, the number of enemies was too small. The People's Army successively committed three regiments to attack in turn!
Under this situation, General Kunihiko ordered the entire army to retreat to the south of the Han River, North Han River, and Zhaotong River to avoid the tragedy of the entire army being destroyed.
The eastern part is mountainous, and crossing mountains and ridges is the strength of the Japanese army. It is true that they have it, but the two divisions in the western part are probably more likely to be in danger, and they can't control so much now. It will be good if they can exit the battlefield safely.
As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain falling. This is truly a wise saying. The attacking Japanese troops were full of momentum. Although they were still well-trained during the retreat, their momentum inevitably stagnated.
???????????? The People’s Army beat up the fallen dogs and proudly trampled the Japanese troops under their feet. Thinking about how vigorously they showed off their power in China, the feet of the people's officers and soldiers were as fast as the wind. Every time you pursue the remnants of the enemy, you will gain more military merit and suffer less damage in the future. If we don’t beat them hard now, why don’t we wait until they regain their strength before challenging them again?
In addition, there was no order to cease fire at all, so some troops simply fulfilled the wishes of the officers and soldiers and let them insert directly into the rear of the Japanese army. Regardless of whether you have fortifications or not, we have the advantage of having more people. We will circle a place first and then come back to pester you slowly.
Although the Japanese army arranged for each echelon to resist gradually, the People's Army did not fight according to the opponent's tactics at all, but adopted the leapfrog tactic - this is another masterpiece of the young marshal: the stronger the fortification, the more difficult it is to move. , then I might as well avoid you. When I have time, I will surround you and trap you to death. I am not afraid that I will not be able to destroy you!
This resulted in small groups of Japanese troops not only being unable to completely cut off their rear missions, but also having the possibility of being divided, surrounded, and annihilated by the People's Army. Not only that, through this blocking method, the Japanese army lost more men and horses than in the direct attack of the People's Army.
King Jiure Gong Bangyan decided to implement the trick of a strong man cutting off his wrist. He called out to Li Jizao, the commander of the Imperial Army Division who fled with him in embarrassment: "At this time when the empire is in danger, I order your troops to immediately deploy defenses along the Han River. Before the locust army completely retreats to the south of the Han River, hold on to the south bank!"
Until this time, he was still thinking of defending across the river from the People's Army. No matter how powerful the People's Army artillery is, it does not have wings or oars. The Han River does not have dozens of bridges to cross like in later generations. The only railway bridge is now in the hands of the Japanese engineering troops. Once the Japanese troops on the other side complete their retreat, it only takes a few hundred kilograms. Explosives, the other party can only look away and sigh.
The tanks of the People's Army on the Western Front did stop when they reached the Han River, but the situation on the Western Front did not improve, but worsened. This is because the tank troops who were unable to cross the river attacked in a roundabout direction eastward along the river bank and looked for a favorable location to cross the river, but inadvertently cut off the escape routes of the various units.
Because I learned that there were armored troopsLater, the already shaken military morale began to collapse, and the Japanese army's defense line was opened section by section by the People's Army. The defeat was inevitable.
The tank turned its muzzle and fired back, impacting the ravaged battlefield again, all the way to the railway bridge of the Han River. When the Japanese engineers on the other side saw the Chinese tanks, they actually thought that the Chinese army had arrived, so they hurriedly blew up the bridge, completely cutting off the retreat of the friendly forces and destroying their glimmer of hope for survival.
Not every desperate situation in war can bring courage to officers and soldiers, sometimes it can also bring despair. The mid-level and senior officers of the Japanese army who received the order to withdraw across the entire front had no fighting spirit. In addition, the battle line could no longer be maintained. Now there were unrivaled tanks disrupting the battlefield, and then the retreat was cut off. Their first reaction was not How to organize resistance on the spot, but think of a more advantageous way to escape.
In the end, the heroes saw the same thing, and they ordered the surviving officers and soldiers to throw away their burdens and swim across the river. Anyway, it was only October day, anyway, the surface of the Han River was generally not wide, and anyway, the order to retreat was issued by the headquarters.
So the soldiers who knew how to use water rushed to throw away everything that might hinder their performance: rifles, bullets, grenades, helmets, and clothes, while the soldiers who didn't know how to use water walked around in twos and threes like headless flies. There is no command, no structure, just instinctive defense.
So, on the Han River in the late 1920s, a rare scene appeared: black, ant-like human heads were densely packed in the river. The more intense the gunshots behind them, the faster they waved their arms. Because they know that once the gunshots become sparse, it is very likely that they will be killed.
Some lucky people swam to the other side safely, while others were still struggling. Some people had already sunk in the water, but more people began to accept bursts of fire from the People's Army - unorganized resistance was ultimately no match for a well-trained attack. After clearing out the remnants of the enemy, many People's Army soldiers had already stood on the riverside and saw a scene they would never forget.
"It's really spectacular. I estimate that there are at least 70,000 to 80,000 people, and they are all rowing desperately to the other side. At this time, we received an order: If the Japanese army does not surrender to us, we should fight Treat personnel without any scruples.
“At that time, I thought, Japan has killed so many people and robbed so many things in our country, so just hit me if the authorities said they would. So I shot dozens of people one at a time, watching the blood rising from the bottom of the river, and watching the Japanese soldiers, who didn't know whether they were officers or soldiers, sink one by one. It was a great pleasure. "
This is the original text from an interview with 100-year-old retired veteran Niu Baishun during the Battle of Seoul.
"Our company was driving a Japanese army near Mapodong. In order to escape, one of the Japanese soldiers started to take off his clothes before running to the riverside. Just take off your shirt, and you also want to take off your pants. But if you want to, start running. Is it easy to take off the pants? So he inevitably tripped. After taking off the pants and getting up, we were close. He was so anxious that he didn't care about the pants and jumped into the Han River.
I thought, hey, it would be too funny to let you run away like this, so I picked up the gun and pointed it at his butt. guess what? The kid was shot and couldn't take off his pants, so he fell into the water and drowned. Originally, I could have saved him, but when I rushed to the river, I had no time to care about him. The river was full of people and it was too late for me to shoot, so how could I have time to care about him?
"When there was no one on the river anymore, the kid's belly was bulging. "
This is what Fang Tiansheng, who later served as a cadre of the Seoul Public Security Department, said when he faced a group of middle school students sweeping graves during Qingming Festival.
"There were corpses on the river, and the blood was stained red. You can still see the occasional floating corpse half a month later. We wiped out more than 50,000 enemies, and half of them were killed by the Han River."
This is an internal communication from the 18th Army Staff Office that compiled war statistics after the war.
The Japanese troops who did not cross the river were either killed or captured, and the Imperial Army, which was preparing to defend the Han River, failed to hold on in the end because when they hurriedly built fortifications, a section of the West Route People's Army crossed the Han River from Kaifeng and Wenshan to the north of the Han River. , while attacking Inchon and Bucheon, they advanced from the south of the Han River. This motley army, which had no fighting spirit, was paralyzed without any major resistance this time.
Fortunately, they were abandoned sons who had broken their arms as warriors. Although the entire army was destroyed, it bought time for other Japanese troops to escape. Therefore, except for the 5th and 16th divisions on the western front, which suffered heavy losses, the main force in the middle was able to escape. Retreating safely can be regarded as a great blessing among misfortunes. Otherwise, the People's Army, which has already fallen into a state of mad attack, is so powerful that it will not care about annihilating one more powerful force.
After the defeat, all Japanese military departments were unable to gather the defeated troops, and communications were not very good during the "movement", so that the headquarters could not effectively control the troops.
In this case, no army is willing to risk being surrounded and take the initiative to rear. They are all scrambling to think about how to minimize losses. After all, the Japanese army, which is bound by its regiment, has the strongest local flavor. Close friends or not, we are all from our hometown, so why risk death? Besides, it is not our responsibility to suffer defeat!
In this way, the front line of hundreds of kilometers was in vain. After calmly crossing the river, the main force of the People's Army, apart from seizing the equipment of the Imperial Association Army, basically did not spend a single shot or ammunition. The Japanese army enforced battlefield discipline very strictly and executed retreat orders very well. Anyway, those who could move would never create any obstacles for the People's Army.

Chapter 947 War of words
??
After losing most of their light and heavy weapons, the Japanese army was even more unable to hold on to even one position. They could only use long strides to avoid the heavy pursuit of the People's Army. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Maybe that’s what it means? Anyway, as long as they are out of reach of guns, the Japanese army's footsteps are faster and faster, and they are getting further and further away from the People's Army.
It’s not that the People’s Army has never chased them, but trying to catch up with the Japanese soldiers who were running away with light armor (throwing away all their burdens) is really not what humans do!
For three whole days, I couldn’t even bend my legs, but I also achieved fruitful results. In addition to Seoul and Inchon, which were actually captured before the order was issued, Chuncheon, an important town in the northern Han River and Zhaotong River, was the first city that the Japanese army was forced to abandon, followed by Wonju, Yeoju, Anseong, and Pyeongtaek. Advance 80 kilometers south.
Thanks to the "selfless" assistance of the Imperial Alliance Army, the retreating Japanese army finally stabilized its position in Tianan after overcoming the initial panic. This Cheonan is the place where the warship was named in the so-called "Cheonan Ship Incident" in later generations. It is halfway between Seoul and Daejeon. The southeast can get supplies and manpower from Daejeon through the railway. The southwest also has a direct railway to Gunsan Bay, which can get the navy. direct support.
The three central divisions of the Japanese army are all deployed on this line, and the two eastern divisions are also setting up defenses in the key areas of Chungju and Yeongju after retreating in large steps.
Because there is the Taibai Mountains to the east, the terrain does not support large-scale operations. As long as these two places are strangled, the People's Army will rush through the mountains to the back of the Japanese army. First, it will not be able to transport artillery to provide support. Second, it will most likely be attacked by the Japanese navy and land forces. The team's attack. Besides, after receiving the order to retreat, they retained their main force in a relatively organized manner, so they still had the strength to fight.
But even this is not safe. Commander Jiuergong Bangyan Wang still deployed a second line of defense behind him, and decided that no matter whether the country decided to send troops or not, he would fight to the death with the People's Army here and never retreat!
He set up his headquarters in Daejeon, retreated the two disorganized divisions on the western front here, and joined forces with the three divisions that came later.
The firefights in the past few days have made these three divisions pay special attention to defense issues. Therefore, they have carried out fortification preparations almost day and night, and their positions are relatively solid. Four marine divisions of the Japanese Navy also landed from Gunsan Bay in the west and east Korea Sea and Yuxi, Samcheok and other places to assist the army in setting up defenses.
Under the severe situation, we no longer care about the opinions of the navy and the army. Everything is based on the highest interests of the empire. The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Seoul allowed the two major groups that had been at odds with each other for decades to reach a rare friendship. This is Japan's miracle and the advantage of its national character - it can unanimously deal with the outside world at critical moments, despite various internal contradictions.
The Japanese army has no retreat: Daejeon is nearly 170 kilometers away from Seoul in the north, nearly 300 kilometers away from Busan in the south, and 170 kilometers away from Gwangju in the southwest. It is the transportation hub of southern Korea. It is protected by the Jinjiang River in the east, north and west. The west Jinjiang River also leads directly to Qunshan Bay. It is a rare place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It can also receive Japanese naval supplies and support at any time.
If such conditions cannot be maintained, as the commander, he has already exhausted his last effort.
In this battle, the shocked Japanese troops on the West Route suffered the heaviest casualties, and the two elite divisions were almost crippled. The main force led by Prince Kunihiko Kuni in the middle was not much better, and was chased and beaten by the People's Army. In the end, if the commander hadn't had a bright idea and put the Imperial Association Army division in charge of the rear, would they have been able to escape the pursuit of the People's Army? Soldiers are still a big problem.
Counting the casualties, this battle lasted from the middle of the month to the end of the month. There were two days of fighting and three days of rout. Both sides suffered more than 50,000 casualties.
This number, in the People's Army, refers to all combat attrition, including light and serious wounded and sick. Under good medical conditions, more than half of the wounded soldiers still returned to the army soon, and after gaining actual combat experience, their combat capabilities have been further improved. If the People's Army had not been on the offensive, there would not have been so many casualties;
"The Japanese army completely refers to death and capture." Under the full-scale advance of the People's Army, the Japanese troops who had nowhere to escape were either killed by the gun or became prisoners. This is certain. All in all, 50,000 people were the Japanese army’s losses after counting their heads.
King Kunihiko Kuni urgently sent a distress message to the country: "The 500,000-strong Chinese army launched a surprise attack on our troops in the early morning of the 16th and defeated our army with the superior equipment of 2,000 cannons, hundreds of tanks and countless bombers. . Our troops are now waiting for reinforcements on the Tianan front line. If more than twenty army divisions are not quickly mobilized, the Chinese army will completely wipe out our troops and occupy all of North Korea in a short period of time!
The situation was extremely critical, and success or failure depended on it. The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Korean Army, King Kuni Kunghiko, cried out in tears. "
The whole country was shocked when he suffered another defeat on the Korean battlefield.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If the troops were lost in the Battle of Kwantung Prefecture and the Battle of Pyongyang, there will still be China.Our ancestors continue to ride on China's head and make irresponsible remarks. The Republic of China government under the leadership of the People's Party is not the late Qing government. I said this three years ago and I still say it now!
These countries accuse China indiscriminately. Do they know how serious crimes Japan committed on the Korean battlefield? As we all know, the League of Nations is still asking all countries to sign the Prisoner of War Convention, but just half a month ago, they killed more than 700 of our brave soldiers, and they were all seriously injured at that time! "
He picked up the "Yomiuri Shimbun" published in Japan and said loudly to the reporters and delegations from various countries present: "With such a government and such an army, evil people dare to complain first and accuse China of being shameless! And some people with ulterior motives The government dares to respond, are you blinded by lard!"? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 948 Accusation
? One piece after another, the iron facts are before everyone: Japan’s own newspapers, with their frothing at the mouth, are irrefutable and ironclad evidence. The Japanese officers and soldiers who participated in the massacre of KPA prisoners of war probably never dreamed that retribution would come so soon! While they were encouraging themselves, they inadvertently left behind such incriminating evidence that required no explanation!
Zhang Hanqing waved the newspaper as incriminating evidence with one hand and said indignantly: "I can accept the death of 7,000, 70,000, or even 700,000 people. That was due to the negligence of our commanding cadres and the failure of Jian Yiqiao and others as front-line military commanders. I am qualified because as the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, I am incompetent. However, more than 700 wounded soldiers of the People's Army were shot to death en masse. This is absolutely unacceptable!
Japan has done all bad things in China, and after being expelled from the country, it still dares to treat the Chinese as indifferent as before, especially killing prisoners. This has touched my bottom line. If we don't do something, we will be sorry for the martyrs who died and their lives. My family, I am also sorry for the military uniforms we are wearing and the party flag and national flag behind us!
Starting from today, the Chinese army will not accept the surrender of all officers and soldiers affiliated with the 1st Division! As long as the murderer, Commander Wadagame, is alive, as long as one officer and soldier of this division is alive on the Korean Peninsula, and as long as this designation still exists, China will fight the Japanese army to the end! "
Zhang Hanqing’s words were so impactful that the Chinese and foreign representatives present at the meeting could not digest them for a while. It scolded Britain and the United States for aiding the tyranny, exposed Japan's crimes of killing prisoners, and in fact demonstrated the determination of China and Japan to fight to the death in Korea - this is not far from declaring war!
The fact that the war has reached this point has surprised all countries.
Zhang Hanqing scolded the great powers such as the United Kingdom and the United States, which made the German people who were oppressed in all aspects of politics, economy and military become a confidant. Invisibly, the government and the people also increased their love for this Chinese marshal. Later, he was cited as a hero in Germany. The alliance is also a gift from this;
The Soviet Union is half worried and half happy. What worries it is that this war will greatly interfere with its layout in the Far East: if China loses, it will go to a major alliance; if it wins, its rise will be unstoppable, which will affect the Soviet Union's geopolitical situation. Political influence has been greatly reduced, especially in the Far East.
What is gratifying is that China's vigorous development may be interrupted, because it is at best a growing calf, while Japan is a giant beast. Newborn calves may not be afraid of tigers, but they are not capable of overturning Japan easily.
The British are very angry but very restrained, especially after seeing the power of the Chinese Army and unwilling to cause trouble again. It has major interests in China, and China's future leader has gone crazy. It is not good for anyone to quarrel with each other. Anyway, the United States, the leader of the Americas, has also been scolded. If it keeps silent, I will pretend to be deaf and dumb!
The United States is intolerant but practical. It pursues the diplomatic principle of "open door and equal interests" and takes as a minimum not to intervene in wars between major powers.
Facing Zhang Hanqing’s accusations, Coolidge, who was about to leave the presidential throne after two consecutive terms, was very depressed. The United States has entered a period of "glorious isolation" and his term is about to end. At this time, it will not be able to make a significant performance in international events. He knew that he could no longer favor Japan unprincipledly, at least on the surface.
So, facing Zhang Hanqing’s scolding, he touched his nose and admitted it. "This yellow monkey gives me no peace of mind and makes it impossible for me to make a statement." These are the exact words Coolidge said to Secretary of State Frank Kellogg in private. Of course, this "monkey", he refers to It's Japan.
However, President Ke, who was scolded and disgraced, still has a way to "avenge his shame", which is to continue to deliver strategic materials to Japan despite domestic opposition. "Aren't you, Zhang Hanqing, awesome? Then I will continue to fund Japan's fight with you!" This is his voice.
Therefore, he did not directly reply to Zhang Hanqing's insults, but vowed in front of the New York Times and other media: "The United States will never participate in this crossfire in Northeast Asia. It is a war between two Asians." .”
When asked whether the United States had provided Japan with steel, oil and other materials in accordance with the previous treaty, he replied: "Of course, this is a purely economic peace treaty. According to the previous US government statement, any belligerent country is free to purchase them from the United States." If you want anything, just transport it yourself according to regulations. From the principle of legislation, the United States does not help any country, and we strictly abide by the sanctity of the law!"
A more specific response is that Japanese ships carrying American arms are returning home one after another from Pearl Harbor. These weapons, which Japan urgently needs and have huge lethality, are a gift from the U.S. government to Japan and also to China. The blood debt of the people.
In this regard, the senior officials of the People's Party, especially some old Fengcheng clique officers, believe that the young marshal is too impulsive in diplomacy and has offended too many countries, so that China is now in a situation of "many channels but few help". Of course, ?They just blew the whistle rather reluctantly, after all, the young marshal is now more powerful.
The reason for such complaints is that through the Korean War, especially a series of army deployments, the officers of the Old People's Army system, which had a great advantage, were gradually "operated" to more critical positions, and the army rotations and soon The changes of the previous military commanders completely established the absolute authority of the young marshal in the army.
The commanders of the four major military regions of Nanjing, Chengdu, Jinan, and Guangzhou were all promoted by him; the commander of the Shenyang Military Region, Pei Qixun, was retained at his suggestion, and now he has handed over the power because he is also the deputy commander of the troops entering North Korea. The newly transferred deputy commander Zhao Ronghua, everyone knew that Zhao was in love with Wujiwu because the young marshal liked and valued Xuezhong;
Only the commanders of Lanzhou and Beijing Military Regions, Yu Zhen and Xing Shilian, were from the old Feng clan, but the fact that the young marshal transferred Zhang Chengde, his confidant who had followed him since his early career, to the deputy commander of the Lanzhou Military Region was in itself a signal to replace him.
Now, Yu Zhen is almost obedient and doesn't care much about the affairs of the headquarters. She just waits for the young marshal to be free to move herself to a better place to retire.
Besides, it is really difficult to say what he wants to do: Deputy Commander and Commander of the Mongolian Construction Corps Zhang Chengde, Chief of Staff and Commander of the 16th Army Wang Xianghua, and Director of the Political Department Liu Qiangdong are all people from the People's Army system, and even several other military commanders - ——The 5th Army Commander Chang Jingwu, the 7th Army Commander Shao Wenkai, and the 26th Army Commander Qi Enming were all led by the young marshal. What else can he do besides knowing current affairs?
As for the Beijing Military Region, there are even more people who can intervene. At the emperor's feet, Commander Xing Shilian was very careful in every move he made. Deputy Commander and Commander of the Garrison Zhao Enzhen was completely loyal to the old commander. As for Chief of Staff Gao Weiyue and Director of the Political Department Pei Chunsheng, they were all promoted by the young marshal!
With the new generation taking control of the military, it is natural for the old Feng clique to complain. But they can only complain, and soon, when the old Feng clique in the Politburo and the Central Committee gradually withdraw from the stage, no one like them may even listen to their complaints (Remember this site Website: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 949 Justice in America
Regarding the U.S. military aid to Japan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made an urgent meeting with the U.S. Minister to China, Ma Murray, and asked the United States to stop military aid to Japan. Otherwise, "China has reason to believe that the United States has completely sided with Japan."
Mamuri vowed that "the government of the United States of America has always adhered to neutrality, but the United States is a country that values ??the rule of law. The government cannot carry out any form of harassment against private enterprises if they do not violate federal and state laws." We have taken into account the Chinese government's request and interviewed these companies, but pure economic activities should not be disrupted, not even by the national government. This is different from your country's national system. of."
How could the United States give up the opportunity to make war profits? It was during World War I that it achieved economic take-off and surpassed the United Kingdom, the world's largest power at the time. After tasting the huge sweetness, it repeated its old tricks and achieved a transcendence in terms of position in World War II and finally aspired to the world's top spot.
Anyway, China is now unable to stop its behavior of supporting the enemy. It neither has the ability to intercept transport ships full of arms through the Pacific, nor does it have the ability to take military action against this rogue-like behavior of the United States—— -For example, if it declares war, the only thing it can do is an empty protest from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
How similar is this move to what China experienced in later generations? If the skills are not as good as the people, everything is in vain.
No wonder the fathers of Americans lamented at the end of the 19th century: "Without a navy worthy of respect, the only option for the United States is to lodge a diplomatic protest!" And the British naval star Nelson, who was a hundred years earlier than the Americans, also proudly believed: " The British fleet is the best negotiator in Europe!"
Among the American companies that are most active in aiding Japan, DuPont cannot but be mentioned. Given the attitude displayed by their own government, it was not surprising that the DuPonts signed a lucrative agreement with Japan that year.
Shortly after President Coolidge condemned China's initiative to attack the Japanese troops in Korea, Japanese managers from the Mitsui Chemicals Conglomerate met with DuPont managers in Wilmington and delivered more than $900,000 in exchange for DuPont's ammonia The formula of explosives, this is a method of producing cheaper arms.
The State Department, despite Frank Kellogg's public words, privately expressed its full approval of the DuPont deal.
A book in the United States describing DuPont, the largest chemical company and arms company in the United States, revealed the support of U.S. President Coolidge and U.S. arms dealers to Japan's invasion of China.
The book states: "The Japanese militarists also benefited from DuPont's purely formal business ethics. President Coolidge viewed their expulsion from Manchuria in 1928 and their disastrous defeat in Korea with sympathy" He declared: "The Japanese There is some truth to that. Our friendship with it is longstanding and deep-rooted. We should consider Japan's situation in a friendly manner. "
Yes, Japan is not in a good situation right now - it was once a powerful country in Asia, but now it seems that it is being bullied. Although its strength has threatened U.S. interests in the Asia-Pacific, the rise of a China with unclear policies will make the United States feel the pressure brought by geopolitics. The best result is that both sides will suffer losses.
Therefore, the United States turned a deaf ear to Zhang Zuolin and the Chinese government's "asking for help" in the League of Nations, as well as the Marshal's request to abide by the international practice of neutrality and the embargo against Japan.
Of course, the Chinese government’s protests are not ineffective. On November 2, 1928, at a rally of 5,000 people in Los Angeles, Mr. Scott, the sitting Congressman, said to the public: "Please remember that when Japan killed 10,000 Chinese soldiers in Korea, some Five thousand four hundred and forty people were killed by American accomplices. Anyone who does not want to be an accomplice please stand up!"
The whole audience stood up unanimously to express their determination to embargo.
The U.S. government’s support for Japan’s invasion of China has long aroused dissatisfaction among the American people. In 1928, a sailors' strike occurred on the west coast of the United States, opposing the sale of military supplies to Japan for its war with China. Although the original intention of the American people is to maintain world peace, it more or less expresses ordinary people's views on war.
But the determination of the people could not change the attitude of the US government. A Norwegian cargo ship carrying scrap steel to Japan set sail. Seventeen sailors refused to go to Japan and were detained by the Chief Justice of Texas.
Hu Shi, the minister to the United States, later provided a set of outrageous figures: the United States accounted for 54.4% of the strategic materials shipped to Japan in 1928, the United Kingdom accounted for 17.5%, and Germany accounted for 17.5%. Three point eight——This part of Germany was supplies in transit during the war. When the Sino-Japanese war broke out, the German government would no longer have any arms contact with Japan.
In terms of classification, the proportions in the United States are: 92.9% copper, 60.5% various oils, and automobiles and partsNinety-one point two percent, 59.7 percent iron, 41.6 percent cast iron, and 48.5 percent various machinery and engines.
In order to express his anger, Zhang Hanqing recalled Minister Hu Shi in the United States in protest. When Hu Shi left the United States, he once said in his farewell speech: "I returned to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War. If one day I am killed by a Japanese bomb, please don't forget that 54% of my body is Four were killed by your American bombings.”
On November 4, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of National Defense jointly held an explanatory meeting to accuse Japanese soldiers of atrocities. Foreign Minister Gu Weijun and Defense Minister Jiang Baili jointly declared: "Only counterattack with force can comfort the victims of the atrocities committed by Japanese soldiers." Heroic spirit; It was the connivance, instigation, and cover-up of some countries that allowed the Japanese government to risk the world's disapproval and shoot down my injured officers and soldiers. The blood debt should be repaid with blood. Therefore, in the action against the Japanese army, any damage caused to any country The responsibility for the losses must be borne by Japan!"
Regarding China’s accusations and the war between China and Japan, Europe and the United States have shown a very rare but obvious one-sided public opinion.
The UK still stubbornly believes that it was China's behavior of "unilaterally changing the status quo" that triggered the war, while the US used actual actions to give China power. This is reflected in the US's connivance of Japan's arms trade and the US's support of Japan, which is at war with China. Providing loans and selling strategic materials, as well as the United States' decision to blockade China after China recalled its ambassador.
If the United States was "watching the fire" across the Atlantic in Europe at the beginning of World War II, then it was "fueling the fire" in Asia on the other side of the Pacific. Everything was based on its country's major interests. , this is understandable.
But what cannot be tolerated is that the United States is helping Japan strengthen its war machine to attack China across the Taiwan Strait, but many people are praising it. Is this what the Hami faction says that "Americans are our friends" and the United States is "just"? Performance? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 950 Carry the war to the end
On the same day, the Nanjing Military Region dispatched heavy artillery, together with the gunboats of the Yangtze River Fleet, to launch an indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese Concession in Shanghai. This was the first case after the Songhu War, ignoring the "concerns" of Britain, the United States and other countries;
On the same day, the Central Military Commission announced that in view of the unrelenting situation in the Korean battlefield, the People's Army will recruit 1 million reservists and veterans to form 60 divisions and start immediately;
On the same day, Fu Zuoyi’s 24th Army, which was good at defense, was transferred to North Korea to prepare for the Japanese counterattack;
On the same day, Congress authorized Zhang Zuolin to declare that the country would immediately enter a state of war on behalf of the Republic of China, and government financial expenditures would increase by 1 billion yuan in war funds. The Ministry of Finance was preparing to set up war coupons and seek donations from all walks of life In addition, the Ministry of National Defense began to conduct war mobilization.
China’s war machine has started to move, causing the world to change.
Faced with China’s aggressive momentum, the whole country of Japan was shocked. There are people who are clamoring to declare war on China, there are people who are mobilizing all the people, and there are also people who hope to ease the situation.
However, those who back down against the mainstream of national public opinion can only think in their hearts. After all, using North Korea as a springboard and Manchuria as a base to advance northward to China and Russia has been an established national policy for many years. The well-being of the Japanese archipelago lies here, and it is not possible to do so easily. Give up.
The Japanese Military Ministry also officially ordered the recruitment of reserve divisions. The designation is to add 100 to the original 1st to 20th divisions, and the 101st to 120th divisions are the 101st to 120th divisions. At this time, the cannons transported from the United States were also gradually put in place. In addition to equipping these 20 divisions, some 155mm cannons were also transported to the Korean front line through the navy to equip the dispersed troops.
All the new recruits have arrived at their posts. Japan's general war mobilization system has decades of experience. Veterans who have just retired are quickly recruited and replenished to the front line, so that the disabled 5th and 16th divisions can be replenished first.
Due to the air superiority of the Chinese People's Army, the Japanese military also realized the importance of air supremacy. Relying on the advantages of industrial accumulation, they quickly launched the development of bombers and fighter jets. Prior to this, Army bomber units originally equipped in Nagasaki, Shimonoseki and other places also began to enter North Korea one after another.
During this period, the Korean People's Army did not make preparations to drive the Japanese army out of the Korean Peninsula. On the contrary, after the victory in the Battle of Seoul, the Korean People's Army Headquarters quickly gathered its troops and shifted to strategic defense in accordance with Zhang Hanqing's strategic vision.
In Zhang Hanqing's plan, it is not difficult to defeat the Japanese army or even use the advantages of the People's Army to drive them out of North Korea. What is difficult is that Japan will definitely not be able to bear this huge humiliation and will become a fight to the death with China. This is definitely not what China blessing.
Because the construction of the navy is a long-term process, it is absolutely impossible to win without more than ten years of accumulation. The precious ten years in the 1930s were exactly what China needed for its development. He could not tolerate the coastline. The terrible situation of being blocked for a long time.
“Give them a chance to breathe, let them have to fight in North Korea, drag it out until they can’t bear it, and let them call a stop. This is the best result. Therefore, after the great victory, the frontline officers and soldiers not only did not continue the offensive, but took the initiative to withdraw from some temporarily occupied places such as Pyeongtaek, Anseong, Yeoju, etc., and built fortifications on the line from Anyang to Wonju.
This place is very close to Seoul, and supplies are very convenient, so it is suitable for long-term defense.
The Japanese engaged in shooting Chinese prisoners of war, so they could not be benevolent and righteous to the Japanese prisoners. This first group of devils are all very brainwashed, and their compassionate hearts will definitely not be influenced, so let's use thunderbolt means to make them feel it.
Of course, the prisoners of the 1st Division must not be kept. After selection, a total of forty-six Japanese were found and shot in public. This move seriously frightened the other captured Japanese troops. Some people thought that the Chinese army was going to retaliate as a whole, and some actually peed their pants on the spot.
Before the war, the People's Army had been suppressed by the myth of the Bushido spirit of the Japanese army. The legendary Japanese army's combat effectiveness and individual soldier quality were beyond description in words. When they faced him head-on with fearless spirit, they discovered that it was nothing more than that. After witnessing the Japanese soldiers peeing their pants, they felt calmer.
In the face of death, they don’t really regard death as home, they are even more afraid of death than us! Ha ha.
It’s just that they didn’t know that the soldiers who were singled out by the People’s Army officers for displaying their wet pants were only part of the Imperial Army. However, with similar faces, wearing the same military uniform, and taking off their pants, who knows who? Isn’t it true that the Japanese army’s stuff is bigger than the Imperial Alliance Army’s stuff? Anyway, it is enough to boost morale.
After killing a group of people, it is quite easy to "educate" prisoners of war. Needless to say, the "Second Devils", they have breasts and are like mother's horns. Don't look at them to show off their power internally, but in front of the Japanese army, they were trained to beThis was also the reason why Japan did not declare war at the time. It believed that although declaring war could prevent economic exchanges between China and third countries and cut off the import of Chinese military equipment to the greatest extent, Japan was an island country lacking in resources, and most of its military supplies and raw materials had to be imported from abroad.
If war is declared, countries that sympathize with China will restrict the export of strategic raw materials to Japan, and the United States will no longer be able to continue to supply Japan with arms under various excuses. This will undoubtedly do more harm than good to Japan.
Therefore, although the two countries are actively preparing for force on the peninsula that lies between them, they continue to accumulate strength without saying a word. When they think they can decide the outcome, it will be an unprecedented battle! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 951 The war in Haijiang is urgent
When the Army was once again frustrated on the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese Navy decided to use a major victory to bring an end to the land and sea war. The Chinese Army has been heavily mobilized. In the view of senior naval officials with a strategic vision, continuing to add troops and ammunition there will not have a decisive impact on the outcome of the war. After all, China is a big country and can afford such consumption. .
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? does do is do a lot of work. And when the Chinese army won a great victory, it took the initiative to retreat and stepped up large-scale fortification defense. In fact, it had expressed its determination to maintain a stalemate with Japan. In this case, why not take advantage of its strong mobility to attack China's long and poorly defended coastal cities?
In this way, it can not only prevent China from investing heavy troops in North Korea, but also effectively destroy China's potential to continue the war. It can also demonstrate the power of the Imperial Navy - one will win and the other will lose. In the future, the army should put away its military investment. Do they have a strong voice? After this war, they should be determined not to insist on the "go north" policy anymore. It's time for our "go south" voice to gain the upper hand, right?
With this idea in mind, the Navy Ministry and the Combined Fleet Command formulated an attack plan against China's waters.
Due to the weakness of the Chinese navy, the combined fleet can be safely divided into four. The main First Fleet is still monitoring the movements of China's capable Bohai Fleet in the Yellow Sea. Admiral Naoma Taniguchi is still the commander of the First Fleet, leading There are dozens of warships led by the battleships "Ise" and "Fuso". Its main target of attack is Qingdao, the home port of the Bohai Fleet;
The First Support Fleet is responsible for the raids from Qingdao to Shanghai, and is commanded by Major General Takasu Shiro;
The second-ranking figure in the Combined Fleet and Commander of the Second Fleet is Lieutenant General Eisuke Yamamoto, the head of the aviation headquarters. He is responsible for the important task of annihilating China's second largest fleet, the Yangtze Fleet, from Shanghai to Ningbo. Therefore, the armored cruiser "King Kong" The "Hiei", "Haruna" and "Kirishima" are all accompanying.
In order to deal with the threat from the Air Force under the Nanjing Military Region, the "Chicheng" aircraft carrier led by Colonel Yamamoto was also assigned to his organization;
The Fourth Fleet uses the South China Fleet as the imaginary enemy, guarding the waterway from Zhanjiang to Hong Kong, and waiting for opportunities to launch a land attack on Hainan. Considering that the vast sea area of ????the South China Sea is Japan's maritime lifeline, in order to familiarize itself with the needs of the South China Sea, the First Submarine Force is under its management.
Doesn’t the Chinese Navy avoid fighting? Then I will bombard your home port, bombard your fishing boats, and bombard your city. If you don’t believe me, you won’t come out. If it still doesn't come out, then the Combined Fleet has won; if it does, then the Combined Fleet still wins.
In this sense, the Japanese Navy did win. Because of the mobility and firepower of warships, each ship is equivalent to a mobile artillery battalion or artillery regiment, and it is very destructive to coastal cities.
This kind of blow is mainly psychological. Fishermen are afraid to go fishing in the sea, and their livelihoods are affected;
Many coastal cities, especially important ports, were harassed by Japanese troops from time to time. Residents were on tenterhooks and inevitably complained about the government's inability to protect them;
But the most troublesome thing is the Japanese Marine Corps: escorted by powerful naval guns, one or two landing craft are randomly released, waiting for opportunities to come ashore to cause damage in weak defense areas of the Chinese army.
If the Chinese army is stronger, they will fight and leave, and will not fight with you at all; if the Chinese side responds weakly, they will also beat you up, always making the Chinese soldiers suffer some losses. In many cases, by the time reinforcements arrive, the war will have already begun. It's over, and the ones who suffered most were the Chinese soldiers.
It is impossible for a limited army to disperse and garrison in various places. If the artillery fire at important ports is too much, the Japanese troops will not be able to come. If the artillery fire is too little, the Japanese ships will not be able to defeat them. If they are exhausted, they will be dragged to death if they don't fight.
From early to mid-November, when the ceasefire on the Korean battlefield healed the wounds, alarms were raised all along the coast of China. 35 cities were attacked to varying degrees, with more than 1,000 civilian casualties, more than 3,000 army officers and soldiers casualties, and countless economic losses. The harassment by the Japanese army was just like the Japanese pirates' rampage in the past, which tested China's top leaders.
The General Staff Headquarters has not taken any action. The four coastal military regions, the air force's coastal garrisons, the shore artillery units of the three fleets, and the Marine Corps have issued early warnings almost every day. There has been no pause for more than ten days, but the effect is not obvious. The disaster-stricken areas had no choice but to develop a nationwide joint defense. People were sent to watch the sea every day regardless of whether it was black or white, and early warnings were issued whenever there was any action.
National mobilization is good, but there are also some problems: many times the reports are false, and many times there is no response - after all, they are a regular army, and the same warning time is much better than that of ordinary people, and Japanese warships often take advantage of The disadvantage of poor visibility is that if you go out at night, you won't notice until it's too late.
If things continue like this, let alone doing a good job in production and economic development, we will not even be able to sleep well. In this way, there was also a Japanese naval incident in HainanThe Marine Corps invaded ten miles inland.
The General Staff Headquarters has a headache, and the Navy Headquarters also feels embarrassed. If we had a strong navy, such a thing would never happen in the Wanli Sea Territory. Guo Songling proposed using the three major fleets to attract Japanese ships to reduce their harassment of coastal cities, but Zhang Hanqing vetoed it.
"Limited family resources and precious talents should not be wasted like this. When it's time to hide one's capabilities and bide one's time, even a grandson must do the same!"
However, according to relevant information from various places, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Marine Corps is not the elite force imagined, but purely an army with reduced firepower, even inferior to the Japanese Army on the Korean battlefield.
Its key point is that it is always accompanied by the maneuvers of transport ships and landing ships, and it also moves on some islands, reefs, and coasts with inconvenient transportation. The army's heavy artillery cannot reach it, and its two legs cannot keep up. This is the key point.
When it comes to the Japanese Marine Corps, throughout World War II, it is not worth mentioning compared to maritime powers such as Britain and the United States. This is determined by its national conditions.
Because the Japanese Navy was limited by the idea of ??fleet decisive battle, it did not pay much attention to the preparation of ground troops. The equipment of the Marine Corps was not as good as that of the Army. After all, ground combat was just a sideline of the Navy at that time.
Like the Army, it is not divided into infantry, cavalry, artillery, and infantry. Due to the temporary and specially organized nature of the Marine Corps itself, it can only be regarded as a less specialized infantry unit. As for the personal equipment of individual soldiers, the Marine Corps is also poorly equipped. It is only almost equivalent to the weapons distributed by the Army to the training troops in the rear, and even includes Murata rifles from the Sino-Japanese War era.
Because at present, its combat tasks are defined as capturing small islands, beach landings, base security and battlefield management, and the requirements are not large. Compared with the highly mobile and powerful heavy armored divisions of the US Marine Corps, they are a generation behind in terms of level.
As for amphibious operations, well, this is a new term. It is currently similar to the Chinese Marine Corps, and is comparable to the improvised level of the British Navy during World War I.
Considering China's economic conditions and military investment restrictions, the Japanese Marine Corps is not taken seriously, and is even inferior to the Japanese Army in terms of hardware and equipment, because the current Japanese Army Ship Engineer already has the "Shenzhou Maru" type The new equipment is much more efficient than the navy in landing battles. This is nothing short of an irony for the navy that has long wanted to move south.
Of course, it also has some advantages: since the Marine Corps does not need to consider long and long-distance marching movements, individual soldiers can carry more light equipment than the Army. The army even supplies a variety of canned foods. The rich content is quite enviable by Army officers and soldiers ( such as canned eels).
Is there a way to stop the elusive Japanese transport ships and landing ships that travel hundreds of miles a day without going head-to-head with Japan's powerful fleet? At the convocation of Zhang Hanqing, the General Armament Department of the Military Commission and the Navy and Air Force Headquarters sent key personnel to Dalian to discuss the next step.
General Armaments Minister Zhang Xiaozhun has been under a lot of pressure these days. There are constant calls and telegrams from various military services requesting support equipment, and there are even visits from heavyweights to urge him.
With such a small family fortune in total, everyone wants a share of the pie, which is really hard to do. No, Zhang Hanqing looked at his slimmer figure and laughed and said, "It's only been five years, and Brother Zhang's figure is better than before. I've been separated for three days, so I'm impressed." My wife keeps asking me if I want to get in shape. The way to lose weight, I found my backbone when I saw Brother Zhang.”
Although Zhang Xiaozhun was under a lot of pressure, he felt that he was much better than living a miserable life. Both the old and young marshals attach great importance to it, and they also do it tastefully.
“ Seeing each military industrial enterprise being born and growing up in his hands, and various important weapons gradually becoming domestically produced and even popularized, he felt that there was no greater happiness in life than this. Besides, he is also the favorite to be promoted to general. It seems that the Korean War will not take long, and he will have another star on his shoulders, right?
He pretended to be in pain and said: "I am worried too. The Army wants to build a large number of tanks, and I have just converted a tractor factory into a tank production plant; the Navy wants heavy artillery, and I have asked three arms companies to expand production capacity and launch 155mm without stopping. Shore artillery production line; Marshal, you have arranged for the production of destroyers. Now both Dalian and Shanghai are at war, so we can only ask the Wuhan Shipyard to dismantle a batch of civilian ships to rescue the emergency first; the army, navy and air force all need aircraft. Aren’t my hairs even gray? How many are there?"
Guo Songling joked: "It doesn't matter how gray your hair is. The young marshal said that the new drive is a turning point in the development of the navy. You don't dare to cut corners! In addition, the torpedo bombers used by the naval aviation have made great achievements some time ago, solving the current maritime siege. But it all depends on it, so we must ensure it first!”
Yang Yuting was unhappy: "Do you know how many fewer officers and soldiers the Army lost due to those assault bombers on the Korean battlefield? Now that Japan is increasing its troops in Korea, the need for the Air Force is quite urgent! If you let me get my equipment later, , If I don’t make trouble with you, Fushuai Zhang and Commander Ji will knock on your door!”
Zhang Fushuai is the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission and Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Marshal Zhang Zuoxiang. Since Ji Yiqiao has been in charge of the North Korean army, his position as Deputy Chief of General Staff has basically been nominal. The name of these two military leaders is much greater than that of the Air Force alone. .
Although it was a joke, the anxiety in their hearts could still be felt. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)How many fewer officers and soldiers will the Army sacrifice on the field?

Chapter 952 Asking for advice
Zhang Xiaozhun laughed loudly: "You two are natural enemies, and you fight each other as soon as you meet! Since the Politburo decided to go to war with Japan, Congress has approved the money, and now the General Armament Department is so busy that it doesn't even touch the ground.
“Every aspect requires the expansion of technicians, equipment, and materials, as well as technological upgrading, advanced planning, and talent reserves. This frontline requires large-scale production, and neither is easy to do. Now that the young marshal has asked me to come in person, he is preparing to make me miserable! You two, please stop causing trouble here. "
Although the level is much different, the only difference is the length of time they have met the young marshal. They are both leaders in the military, so Zhang Xiaozhun speaks much more casually. It's a complaint, but it's actually a lot of jokes, and of course there's also a sense of joy from the bottom of my heart. After all, it feels good to be taken seriously.
The other senior officials of the navy and air force have always interacted with each other. When the coaches of the two armies made jokes, they all smiled tacitly. Although Shanghai and the Air Force generally have a competitive relationship, they are both serving the country. In this situation, they should be harmonious, but they should still argue based on reason.
Zhang Hanqing likes this atmosphere very much. Soldiers should be a bit bloody. He single-handedly brought about the competition between the navy and air force, and he was happy to see it come to fruition. Competition leads to progress, and having ideas is always a good thing. Why don't we still need him to personally take care of everything now? His main task is to put forward opinions on the overall strategy and urge various ministries to provide suggestions for the implementation of this strategy. Besides, he has run out of ink in his stomach.
He also said cheerfully to Zhang Xiaozhun: "Is Minister Zhang complaining or complaining? If this equipment minister is so easy to do, I will rush to Hunan to find you? The two chiefs complained to you on the surface. In fact, I’m asking for help from you. If we want to solve their predicament now, you, the Equipment Minister, can’t do it without getting very anxious!”
While chatting and laughing, the group came to the conference room. In the bustling Dalian Bay, no one knows that the discussion that determines the outcome of a war between countries is taking place here. Almost all the top brass of the navy and air force are gathered here: the commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, chief of staff, and three members of the Military Commission. The life and death of hundreds of thousands of people will be decided here.
After sitting down, Guo Songling became serious. He took out a top-secret document and said calmly: "The losses caused by the Japanese navy to our country during this period are quite huge. The threat of the Japanese fleet is second to the guerrilla tactics of its Marine Corps. It's a headache.
After discussion by the Navy Department, the only way we can currently cope with it is to rapidly expand the establishment of the Marine Corps and station troops on coastal islands and reefs, important ports and maritime hubs, especially the Zhoushan Islands, Bohai Strait, Taiwan Strait and Qiongzhou Strait. All are in urgent need of heavy artillery. This is currently relatively easy for us to equip and can only be used in emergencies.
Because HNA had only two groups of torpedo bombers before and seriously lacked well-trained pilots. After the losses in the last air battle, HNA was no longer able to launch attacks on the Japanese fleet.
The re-equipped naval aviation forces have to guard against the possibility of Japanese troops entering from the Bohai Sea, the Yangtze River, and the Pearl River Estuary. They have stationed a wing of aircraft in these places to pose a threat to their fleets and prevent them from daring to advance. But so far, I have learned that Even though they were full, there were only four of them. One of them was transferred to Yongxing Bay in North Korea according to the command of the young marshal. His strength was no longer enough and he couldn't care about the radiation in other places. Therefore, Commander Yang's air force was to deal with them. The most powerful weapon for the Marines and their transport ships.
I think the current priority of the General Armament Department for military production is Air Force bombers and shore artillery, first to solve the urgent needs of maritime defense, and then to HNA bombers. I wonder what the young marshal thinks of this? "
Zhang Hanqing nodded, but wanted to hear the Air Force's opinion. He asked Yang Yuting: "What is Mr. Yang's opinion?"
Yang Yuting then said: "Actually, I have exchanged opinions with Mr. Guo before. We believe that currently we can only use Air Force aircraft to carry out expulsion actions to prevent the Japanese army from making large-scale landings. Moreover, Shenyang and Shenyang, which produce Air Force aircraft, The two major aircraft factories in Chengdu have ready-made vacant production lines that can be put into operation as soon as possible.
In addition, the existing combat aircraft of the Air Force are already small-scale and basically cover the defense areas of the four major coastal military regions. There are also many skilled pilots. As long as the aircraft can keep up, it can expand to eight to ten wings in the short term. Besides, dealing with land targets was originally a training subject for the Air Force. "
The Navy generally favors dive bombers over the Air Force because they are small, easier to take off, land and store on the deck, and can accommodate more in the same area. And because the target is relatively close during bombing, the accuracy is relatively high, which is particularly beneficial for attacking enemy surface ships.
Since Air Force bombers take off and land on land, they are basically not subject to size and weight restrictions, so their commanders generally adopt a large-scale bombing strategy. In this way, for accuracyThe request is not big. Relatively speaking, its pilot training is less difficult and easier to scale. At this time, the development of HNA's torpedo bombers was indeed slow.
Seeing that Guo Songling also agreed with this direction, Zhang Hanqing agreed. He asked Chang Xiaozhun: "If we fully produce Air Force aircraft, what is our maximum production capacity?"
Zhang Xiaozhun blurted out without preparation: "The problem with the production line is not big, but the number of engines at Nanchang Aircraft Factory is insufficient. The root cause is that we originally needed to import propeller blades, but now the United States has embargoed us. Currently, the only source of imports is It can only be the Soviet Union, which requires the assistance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As long as the problem of blade import is solved, monthly production of 250 blades will not be a problem."
Zhang Hanqing nodded and said: "Our relationship with the Soviet Union is okay. I can personally solve this problem, but why can't we make paddles?"
The engine is known as the "crown jewel" of industrial technology. In later generations, our large aircraft have been suffering from unresolved "core" problems, which has seriously hindered the development process of the Air Force. Could it be that China has already encountered this problem in the initial stage of its air force? This must be solved, otherwise the consequences will be endless!
Zhang Xiaozhun shook his head: "No, we were planning to start blade production, but the technicians in the equipment department calculated that now our cost of producing a blade is more than twice that of importing it. Limited funds are used to produce more blades. Things, I can only bear the pain and dismount.”
Oh, is this happening? Zhang Hanqing became sensitive: "No! We must keep the core technology in our own hands. There is always a development process for everything. If we give up our own development for a little money now, wait until there is a big breakthrough in aircraft technology, and then we can start developing it ourselves again. The cost of blades is even greater. We can produce less and keep improving, and one day we will catch up.
The fate of a country’s sharp weapon cannot be left to others to control, just like the U.S. embargo against China this time. Minister Zhang must keep this in mind! In the future, the localization rate of military weapons will be an important parameter for assessing each enterprise. Each industry must set a ratio. Projects lower than this ratio will not be adopted, even if they are very good now; military enterprises that master core technologies , the equipment department should focus on support.
This paddle project needs to be an independent project, and the missing expenses can be directly raised by Minister Zhang after the meeting and earmarked by the president. Minister Zhang must personally control its progress! "
When it comes to enterprise production, Zhang Hanqing has always believed in the principle of "competition leads to progress." He believes that the government should not control things to death. Children who are pampered will not grow up. This is a summary of thousands of years of experience.
However, the uniqueness of military industrial enterprises forces the government to underwrite even its immature "works", otherwise the burden of enterprise failure will be thrown to the government again. This is probably why China has invested huge amounts of money in the post-industrial industry but has always failed to do so. This may be the reason for the strange cycle of "purchase——imitation——replacement purchase——re-imitation" in the production of high-precision projects.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing imitated the U.S. military procurement method and established several large-scale military enterprises that competed with each other for each project, such as Wuhan and Jiangnan Shipyards for building warships, the planned Dalian Shipyard; and Xi'an, Nanchang, Shenyang, and Harbin for aircraft manufacturing. The four major aircraft factories; Shenyang Tractor Factory (later renamed Shenyang Machinery Factory) and Zhuzhou Heavy Industry, which manufacture tanks and armored vehicles; Tianjin Dodge Automobile Factory, Changchun Hongqi Automobile Factory, and Baoding Great Wall Automobile Factory under preparation for automobile manufacturing.
It is not only necessary to maintain competitiveness to promote the development of respective technologies and increase China's future international competitiveness in these aspects, but also to greatly cater to market demand - with the great development of the transportation industry, China's aviation, automobile, ocean-going Transportation is in a state of rapid expansion. To prepare for a rainy day, it is better to start in advance on these large projects that are related to national interests.
The air force matter has come to an end, and the naval shore artillery matter is on the agenda again. Currently, the Chinese Army has many military-affiliated artillery regiments equipped with 155mm heavy artillery that can pose a real threat to warships, and some division-affiliated artillery regiments also possess a small amount.
But they are land-based, and their firepower is a bit fierce, but their range is relatively short. To deal with naval guns that often attack out of sight from more than ten kilometers away, unless they are well concealed, it will be difficult for people to hit the muzzle of the gun.
The 155mm shore artillery used by China is derived from the German 150mm K16 cannon during World War I. It was a heavy artillery that terrified enemy soldiers in World War I. It is 6.41m long, has a shell weight of 51.4 kg, and a maximum rate of fire of 2 Shots/minute, muzzle velocity 757 meters/second, maximum range 22,000 meters.
China introduced it just because of its range. When the warships were far inferior to their opponents, this bulky cannon supported the sky over China's waters. According to feedback from naval battles, it has a certain deterrent effect on the enemy's large ships, forcing the Japanese ships not to dare to approach. The only difference is that the rate of fire is too slow!
I remember that during World War II, Germany fully explored it and came up with an improved version that was better than it. I wonder what model it was called? But since they are still improving technology after 20 years, it shows that it still has certain development value.
Zhang Hanqing still admires German cannon technology, because someone once evaluated Germany's thirteen first-class military technologies during World War II, and artillery ranked first!

Chapter 953: Get to Long and Watch Shu
Since Zhang Hanqing decided to establish a "strategic partnership" with Germany, he has been continuously absorbing advanced technology and talents from Germany. At present, there are many ready-made German technicians in various arsenals in China.
China made some changes to this heavy cannon after it took over, changing the caliber to 155mm, which is deployed on a large scale by the Chinese Army, in order to share existing ammunition. This small change took two years and was completed under the guidance of German experts.
Mass production was subsequently carried out, but by the time the Sino-Japanese War broke out, only 5 regiments could be produced.
For a large country like China with vast territory, it is not easy to meet the demand for artillery. Weapons are divided into categories, and there are already many tricks. If the same type is divided into several models, logistics and supplies will be a big problem. This is also the reason why Zhang Hanqing requires the army to be formalized and standardized.
Like mortars used by all countries, other countries such as France have more than a dozen models. China currently only equips one type: 60mm, and further targets are left to the artillery regiment.
In terms of artillery, all the 75mm mountain guns previously equipped have been eliminated, replaced by four light and heavy howitzers: 75mm, 105mm, 125mm, and 155mm. Among them, the 105mm is also being eliminated as planned, and the 75mm howitzer is specially designed for Developed for the Marine Corps and mountain troops; currently only 75mm and 155mm cannons are in use, with the former having the largest number and the latter originally designed for shore artillery.
Judging from the current actual use, the troops are still very satisfied with it - compared with the previous rifles and shoulder-mounted cannons, the firepower has made great progress in recent years, and I certainly feel very satisfied with it. And judging from the convenience of artillery supply and transportation on the Korean battlefield, standardization does bring many benefits.
This is self-evident. With the parameters of these land guns, various supporting facilities are met according to their needs, leading to the standardization of logistics facilities, which in turn prompts the improvement of new guns to still use the original standardization. The role of inertia is huge.
Therefore, no matter which military industrial enterprise designs artillery shells, they will meet the needs of the army without special modifications; no matter which new artillery model is used, it must try to meet the existing massive artillery shells, otherwise there will be no market. Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing started with a very high goal and a very accurate direction. Otherwise, with China's limited financial resources, it would be a lot of trouble to continue.
It’s easy to make sure that the model is still usable. Zhang Xiaozhun has enough resources to produce it continuously. He did a little calculation and said with certainty: "The General Equipment Department can guarantee a production capacity of 40 units per month."
Guo Songling nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Minister Zhang, but at this stage, I may give priority to satisfying the Marine Corps' light howitzers and light cannons. The Marshal has armed me with 10 divisions of Marine Corps. Without artillery, the navy could not act as a deterrent to the landing Japanese troops."
This is something China has thought about before deciding to expand its military. The Army is not good at combating islands, and ultimately maritime defense must be a joint force with warships and naval aviation. Instead of continuing to increase the Army, it is better to deploy the Marine Corps in advance. In this era, as long as it does not participate in ocean offensives, the Marine Corps' configuration is much less expensive than an equivalent army division.
Because the Army's divisions are equipped with four battalions of various artillery, in order to form rapid fire reinforcements, car towing is indispensable. If it is a long journey, the logistics of tens of thousands of people alone is not a small amount.
The Marine Division is much more convenient. First, they all have relatively fixed defensive targets. Light artillery is mainly used in conjunction with shore artillery, and there are very few opportunities for long-distance attacks; secondly, even if it is necessary, it is mostly based on naval guns on gunboats, and it is not possible in narrow sea areas. It is more convenient; third, supplies are all by ship, and there is no need to pave special roads, especially there is no load limit.
So Zhang Hanqing directly gave the navy the designations of 10 marine divisions, which made everyone in the navy smile. Even Guo Songling felt that in this way, his commander-in-chief lived up to his name.
Because of the weakness of the navy, only the Bohai Fleet among the three nominal fleets can get out of the shallow sea and move into the real ocean. That's it, only the 1st Destroyer Fleet equipped with 1,200-ton destroyers can do it.
The other four commands: naval aviation, submarines, bases, and coastal defense artillery are all half-assed. Although the rank of several chief generals is major general, everyone feels that they are "highly qualified" because there are too few people in charge. .
When the Army has 38 lieutenant general-level corps, the Navy can only match these three fleet chief officers, which is one level lower than the seven major military regions. This cannot be said for the Navy, which vows to keep pace with the Army. A pity.
Now, there are 10 Marine Divisions, plus the previous establishment of 4 divisions, 14 divisions are divided into three fleets, which must be a proper structure of a Lieutenant General-level Marine War Command!
&?Squadron.
After many adjustments, the main opinion of the Air Force is that the squadron has three squadrons, each with four aircraft. Together with the planes of the principal and deputy squadron leaders, a squadron is equipped with 14 aircraft.
In this way, the wing will have 56 aircraft, and the wing commander will also manage several airports and air defense regiments configured for the airports. According to the Army, an organization organized at the same scale with three regiments is called a division. Therefore, the military rank of the wing commander is set as major general. The commander of the air force is equivalent to the army's corps, with a military rank of lieutenant general. The commander of the air zone will undoubtedly become a senior general. Will.
But now, because the wing is barely equipped with only 8, the aviation force is only a frame without substance.
Once the 12 air defense divisions are in place, the Air Force's five air zones are expected to have the opportunity to be on par with the Army's seven military regions. As the first person under the former commander-in-chief, he has worked hard to rise to the top of the "real" Military Commission. How could he refuse what he was pursuing?
However, he still said jokingly: "With so many troops and only a small share given to the navy and air force, the young marshal's tilt is not strong enough."
?????????????????????? Now that we have gained Long, we can look forward to Shu again. Human desires are really endless. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 954 Big fight
Since November, the Japanese army has continued to add troops to the Korean front. With the efforts of the army's own transport ships, new divisions full of organic structures have crowded the docks of Busan Port. They recruited almost all the trains in southern Korea and drove along the southern half of the Gyeongbu Railway to the disputed points between the two sides. What they brought to them was an unknown fate.
Except for the 7th, 10th, and 11th divisions that were transferred earlier and have a long history, the eight divisions that followed were all new formations. Among them were veterans, but most of them had only received three Monthly military training of paramilitary forces - reservists.
Fortunately, relying on American arms, their firepower is no less than that of the Japanese troops on the front line, but they may still lack combat experience.
These eight divisions, numbered 101, 102, 104, 106, 107, 108, 109, and 110, together with the 5 divisions that retreated on the front line and the 3 newly recruited divisions, completely occupied the Japanese Army's territory. Half of the country.
??In fact, strictly speaking, the Japanese Army has already used its full strength.
Of the earliest 17 divisions, 3 were completely annihilated by the People's Army: the 2nd, 19th, and 20th Divisions, 3 were almost annihilated: the 6th, 5th, and 16th Divisions, and 2 were seriously injured: the 3rd and 4th. division. Japan was forced to withdraw almost all the three divisions of its territorial defense forces that could be vacated from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south for emergency relief, so that there were only three divisions left in the country:
The Guards Division cannot move to defend Tokyo, the 14th Division cannot move to control Taiwan, and there is also a 12th Division to help defend Kyushu, Shikoku, and the vast area on Honshu Island from Shimonoseki to Osaka.
Without conscription, it would not even be able to garrison.
Because the 6th Division only had less than one brigade of the Gumi Top Regiment left, this army was transferred back to the country for replenishment in order to preserve its "heroic name." The remnants of the 5th and 16th divisions also withdrew to Busan to recruit a large number of new troops to prevent them from being paralyzed. Therefore, there were 8 Taisho era divisions and 8 new divisions on the front line.
So many armies need commanders who are good at fighting. King Kunihiko Kunihiko was defeated in Korea. Although there were reasons for insufficient military strength, the Empire of Japan could not tolerate this "only equipment and numbers" theory. However, due to his royal dignity, the Japanese military still transferred the deputy chief of staff Nanjiro as his deputy. Although he is said to be a deputy, in fact everyone knows that Jiuer Palace is going to step aside.
Nanjiro is an "old friend" of the Chinese people. He took up the post of commander of the Chinese garrison during the Beiyang period and had many dealings with Zhang Zuolin and others. Although the number of men under his command was less than that of a brigade, he still made great achievements in China at that time.
Later, he was transferred to the commander of the Cavalry Brigade and the 16th Division. Last year, he was promoted to deputy chief of staff and became the assistant to the chief of staff, the most important of the three officers of the Japanese Army.
You should know that although the minister of the army changes like a revolving door, the chief of the army can be a member of the royal family as usual. For example, the current commander-in-chief is the emperor's great-uncle, Prince Kanin Miyazaihito, who was promoted to general of the army in 1912 and to the army who was promoted in 1919. marshal.
Prince Zain will not go to the front line personally. Japan, which has entered a wartime state, needs important ministers who can sit at the center. King Kuni Kunihiko had been fighting for a long time without success. Both the Military Ministry and the Ministry of War believed that he was not suitable to serve as the commander-in-chief of North Korea with the important task of commanding nearly twenty divisions. However, it was inconvenient to replace him, or no one had his prestige to command so many officers and soldiers, so , Nanjiro appeared in person.
After experiencing three major defeats, even a man as arrogant as Nanjiro had to be cautious in deploying his troops.
The Western Front is suitable for large-scale combat, so he deployed a large number of elite troops here: 5 elite divisions together with 5 new divisions formed the main attack corps, plus the newly added 1st Tank Regiment, Army The 1st and 2nd Aviation Brigades and the 1st Artillery Division formed the 1st Front Army, with the commander of the 3rd Division, Anman Qinyi, concurrently serving as commander;
The two divisions of the original Eastern Front and three new divisions formed the 2nd Front Army, as well as the 3rd Aviation Group and the 15th Independent Cavalry Brigade, with Nagai Lai, commander of the 9th Division, serving as the concurrent commander;
The 10th Division and the 1st Independent Guards serve as the general reserve force, with the division commander Shigeru Honjo as the commander, and are under the direct jurisdiction of the Japanese Korean Army Headquarters.
The 1st Front Army has 10 divisions and the assistance of tanks, aircraft and artillery divisions, with more than 300,000 people. It basically concentrates the essence of Japan's military industry. Its combat vehicle development started later than China's, but it was still able to complete the production of a regiment in such a short period of time, which fully demonstrates Japan's industrial strength, but it also drained the family's wealth.
Its tank wing includes three tank squadrons, each squadron has 10 tanks, together with 3 tanks in its wing headquarters, a total of 33 tanks, accompanied by an artillery tank squadron. Its idea of ????joint operations is in line with China's. I don't know if it refers to Zhang Hanqing's efforts?
This kind of tank is Japan’s “prototype No. 1” tank that weighs 18 tons and attracts national attention. Because the war broke out in advance, it ultimately did not have the chance to change.?The later Type 59 tank was directly named the Type 88 tank for mass production because the Korean frontline urgently needed it.
After finally creating a number of coalitions, when I wanted to name it as a heavy tank coalition, I found that China's tank weighing 25 tons is also called medium-sized, so it ’s so embarrassed?
Another problem is that its artillery tank is a cannon towed by a crawler-type vehicle. It can only accompany the vehicle while traveling, but cannot accompany it in combat. This is a major shortcoming. Unlike China's tracked self-propelled artillery, it can accompany the tank in combat and provide fire support. How important this is when the performance of the tank is not yet perfect and the anti-tank pressure on the infantry is still small!
Considering that its tanks had not been finalized before the war, it is good to be able to produce them like this in such a short time. No one knew that the war would start like this, right? All shortcomings can only be tested during the war, right?
The Army Air Force developed earlier than China, which benefited from its observation experience during World War I. Now that it has left Asia and joined Europe, how can Japan ignore the aircraft that have already started fighting in Europe? However, it seems that the impact of the air on infantry combat is not great, so it followed suit and began to introduce a number of replica aircraft from Italy, but did not delve into its far-reaching significance.
In the Army, only Gen Sugiyama, who once served as the aviation section chief of the Military Affairs Bureau, recognized its role and urged the Army Ministry to establish the Army Aviation Corps. According to official history, it was not until 1933 when this man served as the head of the Ministry of War Aviation Headquarters that he re-established the aviation code of conduct that Japan's Army Aviation became a fully modern arm. Therefore, Sugiyama Moto is also known as the first person in the Japanese Army Aviation.
At this time, China and Japan were fighting in the air, and after the Chinese air force caused huge losses to its ground forces, the Japanese military began to pay attention to it. As a result, its 1st, 2nd, and 3rd aviation groups were hastily established, and its deep domestic industrial base began to operate rapidly. Its self-contained military industrial enterprises also allowed its aviation strength to quickly surpass that of China.
A Japanese flying squadron has a quota of 12 aircraft. Every two to three squadrons are organized into a battle group, and every two to three (later fixed to three) battle groups are organized into an aviation group, and above that is the pilot regiment. But now, Japan's entire assets can only be organized into three brigades, six battle groups, and 12 squadrons, with a total of 144 aircraft.
With this number alone, it can overwhelm the People's Army's air force in North Korea. You must know that before the war, the Chinese Air Force only equipped 8 wings, and 2 were transferred to the Korean battlefield, with a total of 108 aircraft.
Japan is also the first country in Asia to establish an artillery division-level establishment. The firepower of the Chinese Army is so fierce that one army has an outrageous 288 cannons, and half of them are large-caliber 125mm and above!
And one division of the empire only has 48 75mm caliber mountain guns and field guns, and only a few have been replaced with 105mm caliber. In addition, there are a total of 16 mountain guns and 16 infantry guns in the infantry wing, for a total of 80 guns. This gap is too big!
So after the arrival of American arms, the Japanese army not only ensured that each artillery wing was equipped with a 155mm heavy artillery brigade (traditional 12-gun system), but also specially organized a heavy artillery division. It has 4 artillery regiments, each regiment has 4 brigades, and each brigade has 18 guns (finally the same organization as the People's Army artillery battalion).
In this way, an artillery division finally reached the same number of cannons as the Chinese army: 288.
Nanjiro relied on this to defeat the Chinese soldiers. Although his total strength was still less than that of the People's Army, his artillery was only half that of the Korean People's Army (the total number of cannons in the 11 People's Army was 3168) and it was not as powerful. .
In his judgment, the expansion of the Chinese Army is just an attitude, and it is only to make up for its excessive deployment in the inland, especially in the southwest and northwest directions. The training level of their recruits is far inferior to that of Japanese soldiers, so it is still only these 11 armies that really have to compete with the Japanese army.
And this force also has to defend the porous Korean sea border, otherwise the Imperial Navy can attack its skirmishers and cut off its supplies at any time. To shift from strategic offense to defense, the Chinese military must divide its forces, and its front-line deployment will not exceed five corps.
His judgment is basically correct.
In order not to affect the operation of the most important economic belts along the coast, and to prevent countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States from taking advantage of the situation, the Korean War basically did not send troops to the Guangzhou, Nanjing, Jinan, and Beijing military regions along the coast. Instead, they sent troops from the original Wuhan , Chengdu, Lanzhou, and Shenyang mobilized troops.
To this end, the Chengdu Military Region has already rotated its troops, while the Wuhan Military Region has simply been withdrawn due to lack of time. Although Sino-Soviet relations are temporarily stable, they have not given up on Mongolia, and there will inevitably be some changes in Xinjiang and Tibet, which must be guarded against.
Therefore, it is necessary to deploy some new troops that are not strong in combat effectiveness but are better than nothing. Besides, China has such a large territory, and the original army of less than 1.8 million is a little short. Not to mention reserving talents for the great turmoil in the world ten years later, before time travel, the Chinese army, which had been repeatedly streamlined and streamlined, still had 2.3 million people!
Therefore, in addition to the 10 divisions of the Marine Corps and the 12 divisions of the Air Force's air defense force, Zhang Hanqing restored 12 full army corps to join active service, with numbers from 39 to 50, bringing the number of the People's Army to nearly 2.4 million.
But there are only more than 300,000 people on the front line in North Korea. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)There are a few troops.

Chapter 955 Zhang Hanqing’s Thoughts
The war between the two major countries is destined to be a protracted war. This is a point that the top leaders of the People's Party have long agreed on, but the Japanese political circles have always avoided it.
It’s not that you can’t understand it, the truth is actually very simple. But if you don’t give it a try, where will the miracle be? You must know that the Yamato nation has always prided itself on being a country that creates miracles. This was true in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, and the same was true in the Russo-Japanese War.
After the victory in Seoul, Ji Yiqiao divided the Korean army into two and established a frontline headquarters and a support headquarters. The former, as the name suggests, is the main force in combat; the latter is called support, and actually does everything except direct combat to support the combat capabilities at the front. In this way, the combat targets of four armies changed from the Japanese army to the Korean puppet army, leaving only seven armies with more than 300,000 people under the jurisdiction of the frontline headquarters.
Since the established strategy has created a confrontation between North and South Korea, it is natural for the Korean People's Army to switch to strategic defense. At this time, consolidating the rear becomes a major issue, which is not yet a prominent issue during wartime.
Japan has ruled Korea for more than 20 years. Although it aroused Koreans to oppose Japan, it also cultivated many Korean traitors. The Imperial Alliance Army is an example. These people still controlled the northern corner of Korea after Japan's defeat and became a cancer on Korea's stability.
In Zhang Hanqing’s view, it is not difficult to defeat Japan, even if it increases its troops. The top priority of the North Korean Affairs Committee is to stabilize order in North Korea, incorporate the North Korean-occupied areas into China's economic construction system, and use North Korea's unique geographical location to build a security barrier for Northeast China.
At this time, it became very necessary to establish a pro-China government, so the military government came into being.
The so-called military government was created by Zhang Hanqing. When the Battle of Seoul was in full swing, Zhang Hanqing had already made plans with Zhang Zuolin and other high-level officials to establish a local Korean government under his control to stabilize the economy and industry, and to restore transportation that had been nearly paralyzed by the war, in order to provide support to the front line. Blood Transfusion creates a convenient and safe environment.
Under this circumstance, the North Korean military government was established in silence. The chairman of the military government was Kim Sam-soon, a Korean with a low reputation, rather than Lee, who was elected by the so-called "Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea" in Shanghai. Chengwan.
The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was a government-in-exile established in Shanghai, China in 1919 after the annexation of Japan and South Korea on the Korean Peninsula. Its offices were located at No. 4 Puqingli, Malang Road (today's Madang Road) in the French Concession, known to the outside world. "Korea Expatriate Office". At the first meeting of the Provisional Government Representatives, the (Provisional Constitution) was adopted and Rhee Syngman was elected President of the Provisional Government.
For the Korean people who have an extremely strong national spirit, the interim government is like their "temple of the national independence movement". After all, it has witnessed the history of blood and tears of the unremitting struggle of the exiled predecessors.
??However, the government of the Republic of China has not recognized it, and few countries in the world have paid attention to it. After all, compared with the relationship with a big country like Japan, the influence of a so-called government-in-exile with no roots and power is minimal.
When the Korean War started, President Lee excitedly announced to his followers: "The liberation of Korea is just around the corner." Syngman Rhee, who has lived in China for a long time, strongly felt the rise of China and was convinced that the People's Party would and the People's Army are fully capable of driving the Japanese out of the Korean Peninsula.
So he waved flags and cheers for the Korean People's Army on various occasions, just so that he could take advantage of China's power after the war and effortlessly complete the great cause of national restoration.
But, would Zhang Hanqing let him get something for nothing so easily? With the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers and military expenditures of billions of dollars, will the country be handed over to him casually? He has to find someone who can listen to Chinese, or simply achieve what he has always wanted to do: annex North Korea.
Korea has always been a vassal state of China. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed Wei's Korea and established the four counties of Lelang, Zhenfan, Lintun, and Xuantu, the Datong River Basin in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula has always been the ruling area of ??counties established by China. Since the Tang Dynasty, China has been the suzerain state of Korea, and there are no obstacles in terms of legal principles and people's hearts. But at that time, North Koreans were still living in what is now North Korea.
By the twenty-seventh year of Qianlong’s reign in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1762), the Qing Dynasty implemented a ban policy on the Northeast. The Yalu River and Tumen River border areas between China and North Korea are particularly targeted, and people from the two countries who cross the river privately are punished with death.
The embargo policy has left the land in the Northeast, especially in the border areas between China and North Korea, barren for a long time. It has failed to be reclaimed in time, and it has failed to station a large number of troops and establish extensive administrative agencies. In the tenth year of Tongzhi (1871), the Qing Dynasty began to abolish the ban policy on Northeast China and implement a real-border immigration policy. However, North Korean border residents are still strictly prohibited from crossing the border in the China-North Korea border area.
However, the northern border of Korea suffered successive severe natural disasters from 1860 to 1870 AD. In order to make a living, North Korean people, especially those on Pingan Road and Huanghai Road along the Yalu and Tumen rivers, illegally crossed the Yalu and Tumen rivers and went to the other side of the country to reclaim wasteland and settle in the Liaoning and Jilin provinces of China.? are nationals of the country; or if it is defined by the gathering of ethnic groups, then the place where the ethnic group has lived for a long time is its territory. This is a chicken-and-egg situation.
Because they all have historical origins, the author does not want to make too many personal comments on this, but it must be remembered that because China was the suzerain country at the beginning, it did not care about some border crossings-"Everything you have is mine. What's the point of giving you a little?" was the insight of the ruler at that time.
However, future generations will not think this way. There is still a popular argument that "Changbai Mountain belongs to South Korea" in future generations. After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, it also led to concerns among scholars in China and South Korea that the 29,000 square meters between China and North Korea There are disputes over sovereignty over kilometers of territory (mainly the Yanbian region).
In official history, the Jin Dynasty in the north also requested that "Baektusan" (the Korean name for Changbai Mountain) be transferred to them because their "Taizu" once fought the anti-Japanese guerrilla war in Changbai Mountain, China. The reason was that the Paektusan family The glory cannot appear in a foreign country!
Since there will be these troubles in the future, it is better to solve them now. Since there will be border conflicts no matter what, it is better to build a big border! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 957 Determination for War
After pro-China figures supported by Zhang Hanqing advocated the restoration of China's suzerainty in North Korea, the Japanese government felt tremendous pressure. Once upon a time, they wanted to force China to withdraw from the Korean Peninsula through a victory. Of course, the dream of dominating the Kanto State is no longer a reality. This is no longer realistic.
If there is no big victory in North Korea, given the organizational capabilities of the People's Party and the Chinese government and North Korea's traditional dependence on China, it is not impossible for it to join China and become a province. For China, North Korea is too important, and the same is true for Japan. It can be said that as long as North Korea is in China's hands, Japan's plan to "go north" cannot be implemented.
So Japan will never give in. Although the Japanese occupation of Korea was a form of colonization in a complete sense, Japan's approach to North and South Korea was different. The north is rich in resources, so northern Korea is built as a heavy industrial base by the Japanese government. Although most of them are supporting facilities for mineral development, after all, a lot of money has been spent;
In contrast, North Korea in the south is mainly agricultural and has not benefited much from industrial development. The Sino-Japanese war not only enabled China to gain the industrially strong southern Manchuria region, but also caused Japan to lose the resource areas it had been operating in for many years, resulting in huge losses.
This is why Nanjiro gathered Japan's most elite troops and the strongest support to show off the outcome with the Chinese and Korean troops. According to its domestic economic situation, there are already signs of depression. If it cannot win the battle within three months, just delaying it may plunge the Japanese economy into an abyss.
This is why Zhang Hanqing and others decided to replace offense with defense and seize the strategic initiative. In addition, winter is coming in North Korea. Digging trenches in advance is equivalent to building a nest in the snowy winter. It is better than sleeping in the wilderness when it is freezing and snowy, right?
Both sides nervously collected intelligence, boosted morale, and made various preparations for attack and defense. The war is coming, but there is rare peace on the front line.
If you look at it from the air, you can see a steaming scene on a long side of China's positions: a spider web of trenches, many artillery positions built with concrete fortifications, machine gun positions intertwined, infantry bunkers and dense barbed wire as far as the eye can see. To the edge. If you look further back, you will see that ten kilometers away are China's armored forces and long-range heavy artillery, which can provide support to the front line at any time.
China’s defense formation can be described as an iron barrel.
The Japanese court decided to choose Yuanzhou as the breakthrough point. First, it is located right in the middle of central Korea. After a breakthrough, it is easy to carry out suppressive attacks from the east and west with heavy troop groups. Not far away from him is the Han River to the west, and not far from the mountains to the east. It is not easy for the People's Army on both sides to rescue him. In addition, the south of the city is the second attack point.
Of course, in order to create a sudden attack, the Japanese army and navy conducted a ten-minute feint attack at Anyang in Ganghwa Bay on November 15.
An army wing, a Marine group and more than ten warships participated in the attack. Knowing that the People's Army has built a shore-based fort in Incheon Port, the battleships Ise and Fuso suppressed the fort with naval gunfire from a distance, and other warships fired at the People's Army positions in the open sea.
Since they are all artillery strikes with maximum range, the accuracy and results can be known. But the Japanese army didn't take it seriously. All they wanted was to attract the attention of the People's Army. If part of the troops can be mobilized here, the main force of the 1st Front Army will be more certain to break through.
The roar of cannons can be heard dozens of miles away.
This is the defense line of the 332nd Regiment of the 111th Division of Wang Yongsheng’s 37th Army. Before the war, the Chaosi issued special political mobilization and combat orders. Whether they could adhere to them successfully would mean the final victory of the Korean War.
This war will determine the future trend of the Korean Peninsula. It is a crossroads for whether China can gain more than ten years of economic development. It is also a turning point for whether China can get rid of decades of bullying by foreign powers. Therefore, no unit must lose any piece of it for any reason. position.
It is expected that the firepower of the Japanese army will be greatly enhanced. According to the Japanese army's traditional offensive combat method of "one bomb, two bombs and three attacks", in order to reduce the fearless losses in the first round as much as possible, each army and division only reserved on the front line There are limited men and horses, and a large number of reserves are arranged in the rear to ensure that there are troops to carry out counterattacks at any time to achieve the purpose of holding on to the position.
Therefore, although the caliber of the guns on the Japanese battleships was as large as 356mm, and each bomb produced a large vibration of hundreds of meters in radius, only a small number of them were able to hit the position in the end, and the casualties caused were minimal. It can be seen from this that the shore artillery positions built by the People's Army have a great impact on its warships, which is a good explanation of what it means to be barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes
Because everything south of the Han River is classified as a military zone, and almost no one except military personnel enters or exits within the area of ??more than ten kilometers wide, it is difficult for the Japanese army to understand the situation of the People's Army's deployment. Most of the time, it is difficult to understand the situation of the People's Army's mobilization. We can only rely on telescopes, and occasionally a few reconnaissance planes appear.?, the young marshal still admires her very much, and often invites her to participate in some social occasions without hesitation. At this time, she looked gentle and delicate on the outside, but she was constantly calculating on the inside.
No, when representatives from Britain, the United States, Italy and other countries asked Zhang Hanqing "whether China intends to resume its status as a suzerain over North Korea," the young marshal smiled openly and said, "I respect the choice of the North Korean people."
When Ciano asked suspiciously whether China could control the situation in northern Korea, the young marshal said confidently: "We have a support command of more than 200,000 people in the rear, and we will send some troops in the future. Entering North Korea, achieving military control in a short period of time and then establishing civilian politics on this basis is just around the corner."
The speaker has no intention of listening, but when this sentence was transmitted to the Japanese military headquarters, there was another interpretation: "More than 200,000 people, that is, at least 5 armies are arranged on the second line, so the troops on the front line are not There will be more than 6 armies, because at least one general reserve will be arranged. Our 300,000 versus 300,000 people will be defeated one by one, which will form a local advantage of having more and less. This battle is worth fighting."

Chapter 958 Hard fight
In the early morning of November 16, the weather was slightly cloudy.
A burst of sharp artillery fire broke the silence before dawn. On the vast hilly ground five miles south of Wonju City, the Japanese army launched artillery preparations before the attack.
Ten years have passed since the First World War, and the Japanese Army’s combat mode is still at the level it was ten years ago, or even at the beginning of the First World War. If there is any change, it is that the Japanese army no longer blindly uses the "human sea tactics" first, but on the basis of artillery bombardment.
At the same time as the shelling, 24 aircraft of the Japanese 2nd Aviation Group, which was ordered to bomb the front and rear positions of the People's Army, also rushed to the battlefield and began the Japanese army's integrated air-ground operations.
The 3rd Division is responsible for the main offensive task.
This division was disgraced due to the complete capture of a regiment flag in the Battle of Jinhua. The division commander Anman Qinyi, who felt deeply guilty, was ordered to be the commander of the 1st Front Army because of his bravery and proficiency in fighting. , but his heart was still heavy, and he felt that if he did not work hard, it would not be enough to wash away this crime, so he decided to make his headquarters a vanguard before the war.
The brainwashed Japanese army gave full play to their spirit of fearing neither death nor fatigue. When the first round of shelling was completed and the artillery was about to carry out extended firing, they quickly launched a cluster charge. Based on the squadron, they advanced in a straight line on a three-kilometer-long front. According to the defined mission, they are to open the defense line of the People's Army in this wave-like attack.
The largest hand-to-hand combat between Asian armies after the Russo-Japanese War began, but this battle was fought so hard that no one could have imagined.
The Japanese army chose this place as a breakthrough point, not only because of its strategic significance, but also because the enemy on the opposite side was the 24th Army, a new force entering the DPRK. In their opinion, the armies that had withstood the previous rounds of fierce battles all performed well, and they all fought bloody and majestic battles, even though they were all injured.
On the contrary, this fully-organized unit is the easiest to chew on in theory - the difference between training and actual combat is between heaven and earth. Imagine the feeling of stabbing a dummy with a bayonet and piercing the belly of a real person. Even the Japanese soldiers, who have always killed without blinking an eye, had various reactions when they killed for the first time: incontinence, vomiting, crying, and so on. . Moreover, the psychological quality of the recruits is relatively poor, and they also lack battlefield experience. It is relatively easy for such a force to break through.
???????????????????????????????????This battle is aimed at breakthrough, and there is no need to risk blaspheming the spirit of Bushido.
But they forgot that this army was recently transferred from the Beijing Military Region by Zhang Hanqing. There are so many troops in the country, and if you don't choose others to choose it, will a young commander who has experienced many battlefield tests have no purpose? If they could travel back in time, they should know that the commander who led this army, Fu Zuoyi, was famous for being good at defense. Both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party felt the same way!
Due to the dense trenches, the impact of the first round of shelling on the ground was minimal. If there was any result, it was that the barbed wire fence at the front was almost flattened, and the blast of air sent smoke and dust all over the sky, making it almost suffocating and deafening.
"It's all in vain, I've been busy all day," Senior Soldier Daiki spat out a mouthful of muddy saliva angrily, and was startled to sweat. In the sudden attack just now, fortunately the experienced senior squad leader raised his hand and pushed his head to the ground to avoid being injured by the burst of shrapnel, but it was inevitable to eat ashes.
The old squad leader’s surname is Shi, and he is a veteran who has experienced the Zhili-Fengtian War. In the People's Army, there are not many soldiers with such experience who have still "conceded" to the position of squad leader for more than five years. After several major military expansions, as long as officers still stay in the People's Army system, their military ranks have been reduced. It is rising sizzlingly.
It is not uncommon for squad leaders to be promoted directly to platoon commander, and for platoon commanders to be promoted directly to company commander. Even the original regiment commander was a division commander after expanding the division into an army. Later, another round of literacy campaigns was launched. Those who had not graduated from primary school or were unable to complete the subjects required by ordinary military schools after training were arranged to work in local places - there were also a large number of local dignitaries.
Squad Leader Shi had feelings for the army, and it took him several years to barely reach the level of literacy of more than 1,000 people. Anyway, he finally stayed, but because he failed to pass the military school training selection test, he stayed at the "Mother of Soldiers" position.
The person who invented this word was not kidding, because it was the young marshal who said it. After the political work system was established, he talked about the important position of the squad leader in the army in the training of officers at all levels and in his famous speech "Building a New Army under New Situations":
"The squad leader is the mother of soldiers, and a squad is a small strategic unit. Only when the backbone team of squad leaders is strengthened can the grassroots level be truly strong. Four people know where the soldiers are, what they are doing, what they are thinking, and what they need at any time, and one can follow "Ideological work and management work must keep up."
Squad leader Shi is not good at studies, but he leads troops like a nephew, and only manages theHowever, not everyone was red-eyed. At least the chief of staff of the division felt that the opponent was not a weak brigade as imagined, but was clearly an old team with considerable combat effectiveness and combat experience. But the result of intelligence detection was that the other party was a new army!
Not only him, when the report of tens of thousands of casualties was sent to the front army commander An Manqinyi, he almost did not believe it was true. The two-hour attack focused on more than 800 artillery pieces and superior air power, and the result turned out to be like this!
The heavy losses surprised Anman Qinyi and several other division commanders who were watching the battle from behind. They did not expect that the People's Army's attack was quite sharp, but its defense was also so good. I wanted to pick up a soft persimmon and squeeze it, but who knew I would actually kick it on the iron plate!
However, the battle around it has already begun, and all divisions have launched according to the scheduled plan. Now it is a carriage going down a steep slope, and it can't stop even if it wants to. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 959: Guard against death
This battle was initially called the biggest battle on the Korean battlefield. It was also the largest deployment of troops by both sides since the outbreak of the war. It can be described as a gamble on the fate of the country.
If Japan wins, it will end the passive situation that it has been in for many days. The army can be proud and proud, and the cabinet can also explain to the people. Otherwise, the once powerful country in East Asia will suddenly become a defeated enemy. This change is too sudden, which will be unacceptable and will impact all aspects.
For China, because in the early stage it has been relying on strong troops, excellent equipment, and surprisingly difficult combat rules, which the Japanese call "non-honest and decisive battles," it "wins without using force."
But if we can still completely withstand the Japanese army's all-out attack with roughly the same military strength this time, then completely defeating this evil curse that has been hanging over the Chinese people for many years will make the Chinese government's status unprecedentedly improved. The People's Party's ruling position will also be rock solid!
History has given Fu Zuoyi and others a good opportunity to serve China.
??This army is not necessarily new recruits. Since the Chinese Ministry of National Defense has developed a very excellent national mobilization system, retired officers and soldiers will be incorporated into the reserve force every year as a temporary supplement. In this way, the country will not maintain a large number of soldiers, but can quickly arm itself when needed.
Even the 12 newly established armies are composed of retired veterans, so how can the 24th Army, which has been included in the People's Army for a long time, be called new recruits? At most, it's just that they have no experience in fighting.
But Fu Zuoyi’s ability is here, it’s just that history didn’t give him a larger stage to display before.
In the official history of 1926, he repelled the Kuomintang army at its peak by himself and won the reputation of "City-Defending General". Now he has more soldiers, more food, better equipment, and if he fails to shine, not only the people of the motherland will be disappointed. , even Zhang Hanqing, who wanted to promote him, had a reputation as a "bad employer".
You must know that our young marshal has the extraordinary ability of "seeing people with extraordinary accuracy". Most of his young marshal talents were "discovered" by him when they were unknown, so we follow him gratefully.
Fu Zuoyi did not disappoint him.
On the frontal battlefield about 220 kilometers wide on the Korean peninsula, five corps of the People's Army, the 37th, 18th, 24th, 30th, and 38th, are stationed in sequence from west to east. The average frontal defense line of each army is 44 kilometers, and each army is assigned to Each division is about 15 kilometers. This is not a very promising number.
????????????????????????????????????????? If people are next to each other, they can take turns lining up to one person every meter, which is considered quite dense. However, such a long line of defense must be arranged in depth, and there must be non-frontline combatants such as logistics, artillery, and engineers, and a reserve force as the main force must be left in accordance with the numerous orders of the court, military headquarters, division headquarters, and regiment headquarters. There are not many people who are really on the front line.
In addition, the Japanese army is the attacker and can carry out intensive attacks at a certain point. Therefore, although the number of attackers and defenders is roughly equal, when it comes to a specific offensive or defensive point, the Japanese army's advantage is very obvious.
Amidst the thunderous attacks of the Japanese army, the soldiers of the People's Army endured cruel tests: it was normal for their comrades around them to be killed or injured, and red bullets in the barrels of their guns to miss them. The most terrifying thing was that the Japanese front lines were stacked like hills. There were piles of corpses of officers and soldiers, as well as a steady stream of Yamato warriors who seemed to have no idea what death was.
Attacking and retreating give people completely different courage. The Japanese troops, who were no longer surrounded or chased by the superior People's Army, showed extraordinary combat effectiveness. They regarded death as if they were home, and used each division's 541 light machine guns, 104 heavy machine guns, and 64 artillery pieces to support the Chinese soldiers in the rear. Feel what it means to be a first-class Japanese division.
The tenacity of Little Japan has put commanders and fighters at all levels of the People’s Army under considerable pressure. At the pre-war mobilization meeting, a propaganda team composed of veterans who had participated in the previous battles sent by the General Political Department of the Korean People's Army gave them a detailed introduction to the Japanese army's combat methods and training equipment, but they all thought this was just a legend.
The two most elite main divisions of the Japanese army, the 2nd and 6th, were instantly devoured, and the 19th and 20th standing divisions were annihilated in an instant, filling the entire People's Army with a mentality that the Japanese army was nothing more than this.
But you must know that among the three battles, the first Battle of Kanto Prefecture was a complete surprise attack. It relied on artillery ten times that of the enemy, as well as aircraft and tanks that the Japanese had never dreamed of participating in the battle, and more than five times the number of troops. The advantage is almost overwhelming. The ease of this battle is not worth devaluing the Japanese army's combat effectiveness, and it also took a lot of effort to clear out the trailing enemies.
The second time it was a mobile war, it was also because the Japanese army was not sure about the details of the People's Army, and at the same time it had the shortcoming of being eager for revenge, so it was greatly disrupted by the People's Army generals. In the mountainous areas of Korea, which are not suitable for heavy weapons exchanges, the People's Army, which has a large number of people, also has the advantage of light firepower.In the state of skirmishing combat, it is natural to win with more enemies and fewer enemies, which also does not reflect the Japanese army's strengths as a whole.
Both sides had their own choices in the Third Battle of Seoul, but the People's Army's narrow victory relied entirely on its superiority in firepower. Of course, the courage of the 100th Division is also commendable. The subsequent offensive against the Japanese army achieved a breakthrough under the leadership of tank troops. This was attributed to the Japanese army's insufficient understanding of tank warfare. It could not think of a way to deal with such large-scale armored weapons and was not prepared in peacetime. Likewise, crowds are also a magic weapon.
This time it’s different. With the help of the United States, the Japanese army was equipped with anti-tank squadrons at the brigade level. It also had 155mm heavy artillery and a certain number of tanks that were comparable to those of the People's Army. It also had more aircraft than the People's Army. Coupled with the numerical rivalry and local assembly advantages, the Japanese army was very powerful, and its training ability was also reflected.
“Training troops depends on national strength. If national strength is insufficient, even bullets must be used sparingly. In this regard, Japan is extremely wealthy. Japan's military training is carried out in strict accordance with infantry drills. New recruits must undergo five months of intensive training. During this time, new recruits need to receive training in various aspects.
A good shooter is fed by bullets. According to regulations, Japanese army recruits need to use 500 rounds of ammunition during the five months of training. Long-term shooting training is enough to cultivate excellent shooters. In those units composed entirely of veterans, Japanese officers asked soldiers to shoot moving targets on trucks.
In addition to shooting, there are two main courses, namely night fighting and stabbing.
The Chinese soldiers have already seen it before. The way to win is to use modern weapons mixed with swordsmen, which actually makes it impossible for the Japanese army to take advantage of it. As for night battles, because the discipline and training of the People's Army are different from those of the old-style army and even the Beiyang Army, this gap is shrinking.
As for shooting, to be honest, the gap is a bit big. According to previous statistics, the total ammunition consumption of the People's Army was 60 million rounds of bullets. Based on the total annihilation of 150,000 people, it would take an average of 400 rounds to kill or wound one Japanese soldier. This does not include the fact that many of them were contributed by artillery shells!
Fortunately, there are railways from Northeast China and even North China directly to North Korea, and the huge railway transportation volume can withstand such a huge amount of consumption. If they were in the Japanese army, such huge logistics would exhaust their few horses.
Chaosi also discovered this problem, but the training of the army cannot be achieved overnight. In the past, for the sake of economic construction, military expenditures were significantly reduced, resulting in the intensity of army training being far less than that of Japan.
Fortunately, after successive victories, the morale of the People's Army is strong, and the supply of weapons and ammunition is continuous, so overall, the situation is developing in China's favor. After all, many troops have already been baptized by the Korean War and have gained corresponding insights from actual combat experience. They can prepare for future training from a practical perspective, which is many times better than groping behind closed doors.
This is also the reason why Zhang Hanqing insisted on implementing the rotation of troops entering the DPRK. It's useless to say anything. The troops know everything after seeing the blood.
With such confidence, Chaosi was bolder in using troops. No, Ji Yiqiao dared to use five armies to resist the ten Japanese divisions huddled together, while pulling the remaining troops behind to serve as reserves!
" Strategically, you should be contemptuous, but tactically you should pay attention to this. This is the true meaning of Zhang Hanqing.
At first glance, he seemed not to care at all about the increase in Japanese troops and firepower. There were even fewer people in the formation than before. But when you think about the fact that not far from the forward position, the fully armed elite 27th Army is serving as reserve teams in the south of the Han River, Bukhan River, and Soyang River, you know that he wants to use the frontline resistance to wear down the Japanese army. Qi, and then use this surprise weapon to create effects.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As against the lower one, one blow can be fatal. The task of the 27th Division is to wait until the front line wears down the attacking Japanese army. Now it depends on the 24th Army.
I remain unmoved.
Tunnel combat has always been a nightmare for the attackers. Even the US imperialists who were equipped to the teeth in the 20th century were helpless against the volunteers' tunnel battles. How could the People's Army, whose light and heavy weapons were no weaker than the Japanese army, make its younger generations laugh? The front row was lit, and a steady stream of manpower followed behind. However, in order to avoid large-scale casualties caused by artillery, the number of people on board each time was not large, but it was enough to give the Japanese army a huge lethality.
After the 3rd Division joined the last regiment, An Manqin took a breath of cold air. His troops can definitely be regarded as having outstanding military exploits since the establishment of the Imperial Army, but they were unable to inflict heavy damage on the already widely dispersed army. Because no matter how step by step the Japanese army moved, they could never break through the first line of defense of the People's Army.
God knows how many lines of defense they have!
However, the situation of the People's Army is not good either: a regiment on the front has suffered more than half of its casualties, so it is urgent to transfer a main battalion from each of the two wings with less attack surface to stabilize the situation. Because they were all on the front line of the firefight, the number of casualties suffered by lower-level officers, especially company and platoon commanders, was huge.
Even so, Fu Zuoyi did not agree to use the division as a main regiment of the reserve force. Chaosi's order before the war was to resist as much as possible, or at least to pin the Japanese army to any attack surface.
As a military commander, it is necessary to be considerate of the officers and soldiers, but you must look at this issue from a higher position: the longer the delay, the more obvious the Japanese army's intentions will be exposed, and the greater the chance of counterattack against the rear headquarters.
He is confident that he can do this. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Deploy a main battalion each to stabilize the situation.

Chapter 960 The Glory of the Japanese Army
At the same time, the four major Japanese fleets launched frantic attacks on various parts of China's coast.
The Japanese Second Support Fleet in South China was unable to encircle and suppress the main force of the 3rd Fleet in Zhanjiang Port. However, it successfully blocked another weaker 6th Fleet of the Chinese Navy in Yulin Port in Hainan, and used submarines to sneak attack the forces stationed in the port. The two gunboats also attacked various targets within the base.
Most of the Navy's only six heavy artillery units are in the Bohai Sea and Yangtze River fortresses. There is only one in South China, and it is also deployed in Zhanjiang. Therefore, when Yuling Port faced the powerful Japanese naval gun threat, it was unable to defend it.
This is the only weak spot along China's coast, and it was found by the Japanese army. Fortunately, Yulingang is surrounded by mountains. Although it was temporarily attacked, it was not easy for the Japanese army to break in. The entire Hainan was guarded by the 8th Army of the Army. Facing the Japanese naval superiority, self-protection was no longer enough, and it was unable to provide support to the navy. The marine units of the South China Fleet are all growing and will not be able to participate in the war for a while.
Other places are not so favorable to the Japanese navy. At Wusongkou, four large ships including the "King Kong" of the Japanese first support fleet fought with the Chinese navy and army across the river.
Originally their mission was to attack Qingdao, one of the homeports of the Bohai Fleet, but after the Japanese-German Battle of Qingdao, Qingdao's role as a bridgehead on the Shandong Peninsula became more obvious, so its defenses are also extremely strong:
Not only was there a coastal defense heavy artillery regiment, the Jinan Military Region also mobilized a military unit to be stationed here, and seaplanes were also "wasted" to monitor the movements of the Japanese ships, making it impossible for them to carry out raids. In the end, they had to move to Shanghai, and later merged with the Second Fleet. One soldier.
The progress of the Japanese Second Fleet did not go well at the beginning. Their mission was to target the Yangtze River Fleet and wait for an opportunity to gather and annihilate it.
"But China's strongest Bohai Fleet and the Japanese small fleet are like this when they face each other. In comparison, the weaker Yangtze River Fleet is even less able to stand up to them. Ling Xiao, who was transferred from the Bohai Sea to the Yangtze River Fleet to serve as the commander of its main 2nd Destroyer Fleet, had personally fought naval battles and personally commanded the battle aboard the flagship "Haiqi".
Knowing that the enemy ships were powerful and powerful, he wisely relied on the superiority of the shore guns on Chongming and Changxing Islands to confront them. Anyway, the sea has been blocked. I only try my best to prevent your warships from harming the inland. That's it.
In the spacious estuary of the Yangtze River, although the "Haiqi" ??is still powered by old steam, is not very fast, and operates as a single ship, with the support of shore artillery, it still appears to be very "flexible" in the eyes of the Japanese army. At least compared to shore guns.
Even if you desperately get through the blockade of shore artillery, entering the Yangtze River is not necessarily easy, because in addition to the old cruiser "Haiqi" ??as the flagship, the 2nd Destroyer Fleet is also equipped with 15 "Hankou" class gunboats.
Because their tonnage is too small, these warships have no cover in the East China Sea. They are hidden in the ravines and branches of the Yangtze River. Although it is a fantasy to sink Japan's tens of thousands of tons of armored cruisers, they were beaten by it at close range. The cannon is also disturbing.
Besides, both sides of the Taiwan Strait have army support. Can you imagine the scene of Japanese ships marching westward, accompanied by "fireworks" along the way? Yamamoto Eisuke is as eager to win as he is, and he doesn't dare to be so arrogant. He can only wait for the opportunity to show his prestige in Shanghai.
It's not that he hasn't thought about the way to kill Shanghai from Hangzhou Bay, but it's just that it has been detected that the People's Army submarines and torpedo boats have been deployed in the Zhoushan area, and it is not feasible to land on Jinshan Guard from Hangzhou Bay - Zhang Hanqing knows Historically, the Japanese army made a surprise attack from here and caught the Chinese defenders by surprise, which eventually led to a great rout on the East China battlefield. Therefore, Zhang Weixi, commander of the Nanjing Military Region, was ordered to pay special attention.
Zhang Weixi placed a division of the 22nd Army there, and pulled the elite 4th Army to Kunshan as a mobile force on the front line. Under this situation, it is difficult to land ashore through Jinshanwei without the casualties of several divisions, especially when its artillery cannot be transported ashore for a while.
Although the Second Fleet has a large number of warships, it does not have large battleships like the "Ise", so a head-on fight with the Chinese Navy and Army is not an option. I can't advance or retreat, it's so embarrassing.
However, just when Lieutenant General Eisuke Yamamoto was worried about this, his senior Colonel Yamamoto Fifty-sixth expressed his opinion: "Your Excellency, Commander, I think we have a huge advantage that has not been fully utilized. If we use it well, maybe we can Open a shortcut to force the Chinese fleet to come out to fight."
Yamamoto Eisuke did not know this subordinate who had just been assigned to him before. The warship led by this captain who was a member of the same family five hundred years ago was so incompatible with the traditions of the Japanese Empire that he almost thought that this unsmiling leader was a member of the Japanese Empire. I lost my energy because I was demoted.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Yamamoto Isoroku's military rank is considered devalued by some people within the Navy, because its ship "Akagi" is a birthplace.
It was originally aThe next generation will also be asked to die bravely. The navy's training is relatively smarter. Flexibility and maneuverability are consistently inculcated, causing the carrier aviation force to be influenced by this.
The squadron leader flew for a while, but he was really unwilling to return with a full load, which would make it impossible to make a deal. While he was thinking, he suddenly saw a huge piece of land.
Cars were moving, people were walking, and a large and spacious road stretched straight to the south, with no end in sight. The squadron leader decided that even if the shore artillery position could not be bombed, it would be better to find some land targets to bomb. Anyway, the trip could not be in vain.
Flying forward along the road, the crowds became denser and denser, and there were more high-rise buildings, until a train emitted black smoke and approached from a distance. The squadron leader thought to himself that if the train was blown up, it would be such shocking news, and the psychological impact on the supporter would be astonishing!
So he flew towards the train decisively, and the other team members followed suit. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 961 Attacks on Civilians
On the train, a young woman sat in the upper class seat and quietly admired the scenery outside the window. In her eyes, the largest port and economic center in the East was even more prosperous than her hometown. Even on its edge, there are vibrant scenes everywhere: factories are smoking, traffic is under construction, and as far as the eye can see, everyone seems to have a different mental outlook.
Is this what the sick man of East Asia looks like among Europeans? Is this the poor and backward China that my best friends and friends say? The young girl almost couldn't believe her eyes. She couldn't help but said to a foreign man next to her: "Miss Zhai, I feel that I am not in China, but in Rome, and even Rome is not as prosperous as it." .Is this really the China we’re talking about?”
From the very respectful reply of the foreign man named Zhai, we can draw the conclusion that this woman is unusual. If someone knew Italian, the conversation between them would be amazing.
"Miss Ada, not to mention you, even I, who have stayed in Shanghai for five years, are surprised by its changes. Not only Shanghai, but the whole of China is changing like earth-shaking changes.
This change is not ordinary, it changes almost every day. And it is not just about the increase of factories and the construction of roads, but also the spiritual outlook of the whole person. This is a very remarkable achievement! Perhaps, in Europe, only our country under the leadership of the head of state can rival it! "
The young woman known as Ada shook her head and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhai, you don't need to talk to me about your officialdom, I just chat in private. But to be honest, I think if this trend continues, China will The future must be limitless! What kind of person is the young commander who leads China?"
what kind of person? Mr. Zhai said with a wry smile: "I had an encounter with him three years ago. He is a very scary young man. He is confident, has a strong national complex, has strong political skills and is deeply loved by his party.
According to legend, he started out as a regiment leader, but soon showed his amazing military ability and political vision. He allowed his father to grow step by step in China where heroes were competing for hegemony, and finally defeated the two major factions in the north and the Kuomintang in the south. Finally gained power.
Three years ago, he used the public concession to shoot Chinese people to death. He successfully aroused the fighting spirit of the Chinese people and strengthened the people's cohesion towards him. In that contest, our diplomatic corps and the foreign ministries of several countries were fooled by him.
He is isolated from Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union, but he is on good terms with two countries of different origins, the United States and the Soviet Union. He is also at war with Germany. However, he is always in trouble with his East Asian neighbor Japan.
Now, he is flexing his muscles on the Korean peninsula. Considering all aspects of the situation, I think the possibility of him winning in the end is very high! This is an enigmatic young man. "
Ada raised her eyes and said with a smile: "Listening to your praise, he is a person who can be on par with Bismarck. A person who can be praised so highly by the resourceful Minister Zhai must be very extraordinary. What does he look like? It’s very exciting to say that.”
There is no other minister named Zhai in China other than Zhai Ludi, the Italian Minister to China. Lu Di Lu Di means high school, and his Chinese name is quite impressive.
Zhai Ludi shook his head: "He has the same mind as Bismarck, but he has more favorable conditions than him, because he is the heir to the future Chinese government, and China's future is in his hands! He is the Alexander of ancient Greece! "
Bismarck was the iron-blooded prime minister of Prussia. He was not only the greatest statesman and diplomat in modern German history, but also a legendary figure in European politics in the 19th century. He not only unified the German Empire, maintained order and peace in Europe, created the tenacity and unyielding character of the German nation, but also created the history of Europe. The "iron-blood policy" he pursued still affects Germany and the world.
Alexander the Great was a famous military strategist and politician in world history, and one of the four greatest military commanders in European history. To be able to compare this young marshal to him shows that Zhai Ludi admired him from the bottom of his heart. And hair. For the first time, Ada, who came from the West, became interested in this Oriental named Zhang Hanqing.
" However, whether she is interested is one thing, and whether she has the opportunity to fulfill her long-cherished wish is another matter. Because just when she turned back unintentionally, she suddenly noticed several low-altitude objects flying towards the train they were on outside the window. Based on her knowledge, she judged that this was a group of airplanes.
It is normal for China to have planes, because after she decided to come to China, she consulted a lot about China and also asked many Italians who came back from China. From their mouths, she learned that China not only has planes, but also can It produces various industrial products, and its production capacity of tractors and automobiles is unparalleled in the world.
But the attitude of these planes?Weird. They came straight towards the train, and their posture was almost the same as the one she had seen on the training ground when the planes were bombing.
Air strike! She reacted immediately, but she didn't know what to do. In front of his eyes were trees and houses whizzing by, as well as war machines with ferocious looks.
Zhai Guangdi was frightened by her reaction. Just when he was about to ask, he suddenly saw this scene and was shocked.
"Boom, boom, boom" there was a violent explosion, and along the railway, eleven planes dropped bombs. These bombs either fell on the train, rolled onto the tracks, or were scattered in the surrounding open space. With a deafening sound, the train shook violently, and then it fell heavily to the ground amid the exclamations of many people.
Ada’s legs were squeezed by the panicked crowd, and her head hit the iron window. She didn’t care to see if she was bleeding, because Zhai Ludi beside her was more seriously injured and his head was covered in blood. She hurriedly called for help, but the loud noise completely obscured her voice.
When the people who were busy witnessed this scene, they were all shocked beyond measure. Such a human tragedy happened in broad daylight! Many people saw the plane, and the dazzling sun flag on the nose looked so harsh in the sunlight.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and rushed towards the burning carriage. Saving people is like putting out fires, and there is no delay for a moment. Although many of the simple people are illiterate, based on the simplest enthusiasm, they all work hard to find the injured in the ruins.
Zhang Hanqing received the call from Shanghai two hours after the incident. Fortunately, because the train had just left Shanghai Station not far away, the speed had not yet added up, and the trains of that era were not fast to begin with.
In this way, three carriages were blown up, six carriages were damaged to varying degrees, and hundreds of people were injured, including 11 dead on the spot. Among the injured were two foreigners.
This is the harm done by the Japanese army to civilians! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs received instructions from Zhang Hanqing and severely condemned the atrocities committed by the Japanese army and claimed that the blood debt must be repaid with blood. Of course, China's empty diplomatic rhetoric will not really make other countries take it to heart.
The Chinese representative to the League of Nations also made a request for condemnation to the conference, but was strongly blocked by the Japanese representative. The conference "gentlely" rejected China's request with two votes in favor and seven abstentions, which made the Chinese people very angry.
But what’s the use? In the jungle era, weak countries were bullied. This is an axiom. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 962: A lot of help
The Japanese army’s attacks on civilians still angered one of its traditional friends. It was also the only country other than Germany to vote in favor of condemning Japan at the League of Nations General Assembly. This country is called Italy.
This country is now governed by the Italian Fascist Party. It originally had a better relationship with Japan than China. Its Korean War delegation leader, Ciano, has repeatedly supported the Japanese government. But after this incident, its position quickly changed.
Because of the two injured foreigners, one was Zhai Ludi, the Italian minister to China, and the other was Ada, an Italian citizen who had just arrived in China. Needless to say, Zhai Ludi, Ada's identity is even more astonishing because her father is Mussolini, the head of state of Italy.
As Sino-German relations are getting closer and deeper, Italy is hesitant between China and Japan. If it were in the past, it would of course be on good terms with Japan, the Asian powerhouse. However, in this era, China has stood up again as if it were reborn. For such a big country, it is normal to make some political investments in advance, but it will not lead to a falling out with Japan.
“But when its minister and the prime minister’s daughter were injured in the bombing, Italian public opinion began to shift towards China.
Coupled with the feedback from various countries on the combat effectiveness of the Chinese and Japanese armies, Italy has regained interest in this country with ancient traditions (the first attention to the East was in the 13th century, represented by Marco Polo), so it also responded to the League of Nations Japan said "no".
As for Germany, because of its economic, military and political relations with China and its feud with Japan over the Qingdao issue, it is clearly opposed to Japan. China, whose industrial output has exceeded that of Japan, has a huge population, resources and market, and a huge geopolitical status, is far more important than Japan.
“ Such a good opportunity, if Zhang Hanqing does not take advantage of it, it will really be a waste of money, although it is not a good thing to have casualties of Chinese civilians. But things have happened. If he can use this incident to attack Japan and win friends, Zhang Hanqing will not hesitate to do it.
He drafted a statement overnight in Dalian and solemnly declared to the world:
"Early this morning, the Japanese naval aviation launched an attack on our civilians in spite of the world's disapproval, and caused heavy casualties to the moving trains in our country. This is a shame for the Chinese people and a shame for all peace-loving people around the world.
As we all know, our army drove the Japanese army far away from Pyongyang, Seoul, and Daejeon in North Korea. If we hadn't been peace-loving and wanted to teach Japan a lesson and give them a way to have a dignified truce in Korea, we would have driven them southward to the sea and driven them back to their home base in Japan!
They can do nothing against our heroic troops and have to vent their pitiful courage on our unarmed civilians. Isn't this act a shame to the Japanese army? !
They have always regarded themselves as the inheritors of the Bushido spirit, and interpreted leaving Asia and joining Europe as entering a club of superior people. Through this incident, we can see their clumsy nature. The evil wolf thinks that wearing a human skin makes him a gentleman? The nascent China must beat them into prototypes on the battlefield! From now on, China will retaliate against Japan ten times or a hundred times as much.
Here we solemnly give a piece of advice to all countries that still provide military assistance to the Japanese government: There is an old saying in China, "It is not too late for a gentleman to seek revenge in ten years." The Chinese people will always remember all the crimes committed by the Japanese army in China, and they will also remember who provided them with bullets, machine guns, cannons and tanks! The Japanese are the executioners, and you are the accomplices!
Here we also call on all peace-loving people to extend your hands. China needs your help in the war of resistance against Japan in order to interrupt the Japanese arrogance as soon as possible. China is unwilling to go to war. This war was imposed on us by Japan. Therefore, we have no shirk of responsibility.
We also hereby declare that from now on, we will carry out unrestricted all forms of war against Japan. We will arm all possible armed forces and continue to attack Japan until they can no longer bear it! "
The young marshal’s speech was spread to all corners of the world through radio waves, and also expressed the indomitable determination of the Chinese people. His speech was not only to encourage the Chinese people and condemn Japan in propaganda, but more importantly, to reduce the United States' military aid to Japan and to obtain urgently needed war materials from the Soviet Union - such as aircraft propeller blades. , and the most important purpose is to explain China's large-scale military expansion.
Expanding the army by one million is indeed a scary thing. In Europe, it is almost all the troops that a medium-sized country can raise in a state of war. And everyone knows that Japan only has 16 divisions in North Korea, which totals almost 500,000, right? It’s less than half of China’s military expansion at one time!
Therefore, France and the United Kingdom have expressed "concern" - they are in China's neighboring countries such as Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia.They all have interests, and because they are the "sovereign country", they are actually China's neighbors. But these neighbors cannot see that China is being invaded. Once there is any trouble in China, they will be "concerned"!
Zhang Hanqing was so angry that he raised his middle finger several times in private. If he hadn't been worried about making too many enemies, he would have wanted to curse in public: "I have such a big place in China, even three million troops are not too much. If it weren't for the East The foreign devils insist on competing with each other, and I really want to wait ten years before expanding the army. It would be better to put the money on economic construction!"
Because the sea route has actually been cut off, the only one who can supply China is the Soviet Union.
When the United States supplied Japan with military supplies and China had difficulty obtaining military supplies from the West, the Soviet Union provided a large amount of military assistance to China. At the proposal of the Soviet government, the Soviet Union and China signed a non-aggression treaty on November 11, 1928. Subsequently, China sent a delegation to Moscow to purchase arms.
At that time, China was in urgent need of aircraft. The Soviet Union agreed to use Soviet loans to provide China with 250 fighter aircraft, engines, shore artillery and supporting ammunition and equipment. It immediately began to transport the first batch of 125 aircraft to China on November 25 and dispatched Flight instructors, instrument instructors, maintenance technicians and engineers, etc., train Chinese personnel to master and ensure the operation of military equipment.
Soviet combat aircraft arrived in China on December 7.
The Soviet Union knows this truth, and it has been "bullied" by Japan for a long time before: the Russo-Japanese War in 1904 ended with Russia's defeat, and Russia gave up China's South Manchuria Railway and all ancillary facilities along the coast; in 1918 In the Far East intervention that began in 2001, Japan invested the largest number of troops and lasted the longest time, causing great trouble to the Soviet Far East.
Even in the years after the Japanese army withdrew from Vladivostok, there were voices in Japan saying that they would implement a "go north" policy. The Northeast is already like this. Where else can they go "north"? It's just the Far East. The Soviet Union, which was also engaged in economic construction, felt threatened and took advantage of this opportunity to help China fight Japan.
Therefore, less than a month after the war started, the Soviet Union provided China with a loan of US$100 million to purchase Soviet weapons. During the same period, the United States gave Japan $125 million in loans and credits to purchase American machine tools and other strategic materials to strengthen Japan's war machine for invading China. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 963 Solid as a Rock
After Zhang Hanqing delivered this speech in Dalian, the Soviet Union provided another US$150 million loan to China to purchase Soviet weapons.
On the contrary, the West wants China to purchase weapons with cash, and the quantity is very small and the price is very high. Moreover, the sea routes are blocked by Japan and many seaports are occupied by Japan. Imports are difficult, exports are also difficult, foreign exchange is extremely scarce, and the ability to purchase Western weapons is limited. Therefore, after the end of 1928, China mainly imported weapons from the Soviet Union.
Of course, loans require interest, and there is no free lunch in the world. In the memorandum signed by China and the Soviet Union, China agreed that its loan interest rate would be 6.5%, which is not a small number.
But the good thing is that the Soviet Union agreed to repay China half and half with agricultural and mineral products. If mineral products are insufficient, agricultural products can be substituted. In actual repayment, agricultural products are slightly more than mineral products. Our country is a big agricultural country, so this method is quite beneficial to me.
And the most significant thing is that all the Soviet Union gave China arms loans. China used these loans to purchase a large amount of Soviet arms for the development of projects that it urgently needed. For example, it built a propeller blade manufacturing plant in Harbin and a company that can provide power for large ships. Gas turbine factories, etc., have played a very important role in the expansion of my country's military industry.
At the same time, the production of bombers, fighter jets, etc., which are the first priority production, has reached a new peak. Zhang Xiaozhun kept his word. Under his personal supervision, 250 aircraft and 40 naval guns were produced as scheduled within a month.
These weapons were quickly added to the front lines of the navy and air force. The defense capabilities of China's major coastal defense areas were strengthened, and the Chinese Air Force also began to conduct targeted and threatening patrols on major shipping routes.
More importantly, because the aviation force has been strengthened, the Chinese fleet has dared to go out under its escort. In particular, Chinese submarines have tried to ambush Japanese warships several times, causing considerable psychological pressure on the Japanese navy.
China is not afraid of death, and Japan is not afraid of death, but they are afraid of injury——mainly because they are afraid of being injured by the Chinese navy and making a joke. One by one, the Japanese fleet did not dare to divide its forces to fight alone, and the combined force was extremely easy to be monitored by Chinese reconnaissance aircraft taking off from land. Therefore, after that bombing, it became increasingly difficult for the Japanese Navy to make major achievements.
On the Korean front, from early morning to noon, the Japanese army was unable to attack after leaving 6,000 corpses, and had no choice but to retreat in embarrassment. The first wave of offensive came to an end. Positional warfare is really not Japan's strong point. It took several months to win a high ground against the Russian army. Will it repeat the same mistake now?
Commander An Manqin and the division commanders who were watching the battle looked at the mountains of corpses with fear and horror. Six thousand people advanced about 300 meters in one morning. Is this speed and such losses really the purpose of this decisive battle? If he stopped here, his division would suffer heavy losses among the ten divisions. Although he was the commander of the front army, he would not be able to explain it to the Japanese Army Headquarters in Korea.
No! An Manqin suddenly cheered up: "Our invincible locust army has suffered huge losses, and what about that army? Back then, the military god Nogi Xidian used human bombs to attack, and it took a hundred days to forcefully carve out a bloody path, and our locust army was defeated. Its reputation spread all over the world, and the empire became one of the great powers in the world.
Now is the time for our generation to follow in the footsteps of our predecessors and continue to write glory. As long as we persevere and have the courage to sacrifice, we will definitely be able to earn a share of glory for the empire in the hail of bullets. That is also the responsibility of our generation and the hope for the rise and fall of the empire! "
He looked at his colleagues: "After lunch, the 10 divisions moved forward together, attacked quickly, and tore apart the defense line of the army on the opposite side regardless of losses. Even if they crawled with flesh and blood, they would have to climb over to that person. Go behind the position!"
“That’s what he said, and the Japanese army actually did it.
After a feast, the Japanese army began to use a small number of vanguard troops to clear the corpses. Although the weather is getting cooler, the temperature at noon is still a bit high. If the two sides confront each other here for a long time, the rotting corpses will easily breed bacteria and lesions, which will be fatal to both sides. Therefore, the highly nervous People's Army soldiers were taking a break and ignored the Japanese army's corpse collection operation.
Because of this, the defending side of the People's Army suffered a bit, because although there were people watching their activities at a very close distance, suddenly a large number of Japanese troops emerged from the pile of dead people, which still caught people off guard.
These Japanese soldiers were all crawling forward, and it was impossible to tell whether they were alive or dead among the dead. By the time the Japanese attack was discovered, a larger force had already rushed over.
However, thanks to the complexity of the tunnels, when the defenders in front were overwhelmed by the Japanese because they were outnumbered, the machine guns on both sides began to suppress them. Naturally, the Japanese army launched counter-suppression, and then the scene in the morning repeated itself.
This time the scale is larger, so the pressure on defense is also greater. The Japanese army of 10 divisions launched a strong attack on a 20-kilometer-long front. The 24th Army was under tremendous pressure and had to attack the North Korean army.Within ten minutes, the counterattack was launched. Amidst the loud sound of the bugle, the officers and soldiers lying in the trenches jumped up and rushed towards the enemy. At this time, there were whistling artillery shells overhead, which were the masterpieces of the artillery units in the rear; beside them, countless comrades-in-arms were charging rapidly, which made the timid officers and soldiers suddenly feel more courageous - we still have so many comrades-in-arms. , then what are you afraid of!
This round of rapid fire stunned the Japanese backup troops who were constantly rushing forward. Instead of attacking the front line and attacking the rear, are we not afraid that the artillery array will be exposed under the eyes of our artillery? But now is not the time to think about this. First, avoid the rain of artillery shells - the People's Army's artillery fire is famous for its sharpness. No matter how strong the Bushido is, it cannot be stronger than the artillery shells! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 964 Returning in vain
After a long period of aggressive attacks and bloody battles, the Japanese army was at the end of its tether. No matter how invincible the Bushido spirit was, it could not withstand the reality that comrades around them fell one after another. However, the honor of entering a shrine after death and the shame of being a deserter had long been lost. Make them numb to it.
It's just that when the timid branch that had been shot in the array of the position | The soldier suddenly was like God's assistance, but he took the initiative to rush to your own side? I fight!
However, the stalemate did not last long. The Japanese frontline commanders suddenly found that their numbers were getting smaller and smaller, and when the backup troops suddenly failed to keep up, they realized something was wrong.
They couldn't allow them to think too much. The People's Army offensive that had been launched was out of control. They rushed forward as hard as the Japanese army organized at the beginning, dividing the Japanese troops who broke into the area into small units, and then annihilated them.
After the Japanese follow-up troops finally broke through the barrage, they painfully discovered that the position that cost countless people's blood and lives was re-captured by the People's Army. After regaining the 300-meter position, the People's Army no longer continued to advance, but still stepped up efforts to consolidate the position and resume defense.
This is a group of well-trained troops, a group of troops who are well versed in defense, and a powerful force! Anman Qinyi sadly ordered to stop the attack and switch to defense.
In this regard, Lieutenant General Wada Kameji, the commander of the 1st Division with a smoky face, was extremely dissatisfied: "Commander, we have suffered huge casualties. The army is already at the end of its strength. Launching another large-scale attack will definitely be able to defeat the enemy." To turn the tide of the war, why stop moving forward?”
An Manqin slowly picked up a message that had just been translated: "The armor of the 27th Army has broken through our Liju defense line and is threatening to attack me from behind. The general headquarters ordered us to divide our forces and retake the Liju defense line. And cut off its attempts to continue south to Eumseong and Chungju, which are our frontline logistics bases. Under this situation, in addition to turning to defense, do we still have enough troops to attack?"
Everyone knows what the appearance of such an armored force on the left side means to the attacker when the fierce battle here is in full swing. Wada Kameji said reluctantly: "This force can only be a feint attack, just to relieve the crisis of the army opposite us"
An Manqin interrupted him: "Maybe, but as the commander, I can't gamble with the safety of the entire front army!"
An army offensive less than 30 kilometers away disrupted the Japanese army's deployment - they made no progress for almost a day! Now, the People's Army has begun a tentative counterattack.
For both sides, no matter who attacks first, they will have an absolute advantage in strength. The Japanese attacking here meant that their defense must be weak elsewhere. Previously, because the People's Army took the lead in taking the defensive, this problem was not serious. When the offensive and defensive forces changed, this problem was magnified!
The main force has been gathered here, and only a small number of troops are stationed in other places. They can only serve as an early warning. Do you want to compete with the armored forces with repeated military exploits? Anman Qinyi expressed doubts.
The Japanese troops near Wonju were all elite. Yeoju on the Han River was on the left wing of the Japanese attack point, so it was handed over to a regiment of the 4th Division to garrison, but it was easily broken through. There are currently almost no troops in the rear who can match the combat effectiveness of the 4th Division and have enough troops. This is one of the reasons why he has to stop the attack quickly.
In that direction, only the armored troops of our Locust Army can resist, right? This unit was previously deployed in the rear, not far from Lizhou.
It’s also very speechless to say. As the only country that was not colonized at the time, Japan has become a leader in Asia. Its principle of treating all advanced weapons in the world is "I must have what others have." Even China already built tanks, so they hurriedly built them.
However, unlike China’s combat theory of using armored forces as a means of attack, Japanese tanks hide behind infantry, which is euphemistically called “protecting tanks”!
"Tanks are used to cover infantry, but they want infantry to cover tanks. There is no other reason, but Japan cherishes weapons much more than soldiers, just because it is a country short of resources.
Resources are in short supply, and the principle for some losses is to save as much as possible. Therefore, in the confrontation between China and Japan, the Chinese artillery dumped artillery shells to the front line desperately, and the Chinese infantry was equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns. Regardless of offense or defense, the Chinese army could always form a barrage among the Japanese army, but Japan was spared. Save, even assault rifles are considered a waste of bullets.
??The comparison of their firepower is one in the sky and one on the ground. Japan has local superior forces, but cannot break through the 24th Army's defense line. This is partly due to this factor.
However, when its armored units were ordered to intercept, the Chinese army retreated silently. For a time, the senior officials of the Japanese military headquarters determined that the People's Army was indeed feigning an attack.Zhang Hanqing, who was paying attention to this defensive battle, was forced to go on the defensive after the Japanese attack was contained in the evening. He happily composed a poem "Moon over Xijiang" and sent it to Ji Yiqiao. The poem was published in "Dalian Evening News" "Published simultaneously on:
"The flags are visible at the foot of the mountain, and the trumpets and horns on the top of the mountain are heard.
The enemy is besieging me for thousands of miles, but I remain unmoved.
The barriers have been tightened for a long time, and we are even more united.
The sound of artillery on the 37th line was loud, reporting that the enemy troops were escaping at night. "
This is the first time that the young marshal, as the supreme commander of China's struggle against Japan, has proposed the concept of the "37th Line" on a formal occasion, causing the outside world to believe that China's bottom line in the Korean War is that both sides use the "37th Line" as the Military demarcation line. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 965 Dance on the tip of a knife
Although the arrogance of the Japanese army due to the increase in troops was shattered in one day, its vitality is still there, and Ji Yiqiao will not naively think that this is a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation and drive the Japanese army out of the Korean Peninsula. First, the strategy does not allow it, and second, there is a lack of sufficient troops.
Although one million more troops have been added, it is necessary to replenish the transferred military regions, replenish equipment, and conduct training. It is really impossible to send more troops into North Korea. Although the firepower of the Japanese army is worse than that of the People's Army, in a defensive state, the excellent quality of the Japanese army can make up for this gap.
This means that if the People's Army launches an attack, it will have to pay at least the same price in casualties.
This is not China’s strategy. Confrontation on the Korean Peninsula is the established policy. Now this policy has been fully implemented and even expanded, because before, Zhang Hanqing always wanted to use the Han River as the boundary to divide the north and the south, but now they have gone to the 37th parallel.
After this round of fighting, the Japanese army should know the defensive capabilities of the People's Army, and it could not immediately organize enough manpower to carry out a second large-scale attack. They also immediately switched from offense to defense, using their infantry skills to dig trenches like the Chinese army. It looked like they were going to fight a long and protracted battle.
After a strange flash in the pan, the Korean War returned to peace. Both warring parties were like wolves silently licking their wounds. Once they regained their strength, they were destined to explode.
At this time, the Japanese intelligence department discovered an anomaly. Although the Chinese army was very cautious, there were still various clues.
In coastal areas, including North Korea’s air force, small but continuous changes have begun. Through many connections, the Army Intelligence Department at the base camp received a very important piece of news: the Chinese Air Force was carrying out a very secretive plan. Although the target was unknown, it was codenamed "Knife Point Dance" for the first time.
On the Korean battlefield, the Japanese army used Army Aviation aircraft for the first time to bomb the positions of the 24th Army. At this time, the Chinese plane has completely disappeared. What is the reason?
You know, before and during the war, the Chinese Air Force stationed two wings on the Korean battlefield, and they also played a huge role in the Battle of Seoul. Where did they go?
?? 24th Army Commander Fu Zuoyi is asking. His troops were bombed by Japanese aircraft and felt a real threat on the front line;
The Japanese army also wanted to know. If it was because of the base, it would be very happy, but if it was to prepare for a sneak attack on the Japanese army's position, it would be quite stressful. Because according to the practice of the People's Army's previous operations, a large-scale air attack is followed by a powerful ground attack.
Except for Marshal Zhang Hanqing and Commander-in-Chief of the Korean People’s Army Ji Yiqiao, no other senior officers in the People’s Army knew this answer.
But the concentration of Chinese aircraft is obvious. After taking Seoul, the People's Army built a new airport at the western foot of Seoul. Needless to say, its target was the Japanese navy active near Ganghwa Bay.
China's torpedo bombers have a range of 441 kilometers. As long as these aircraft are deployed here, Seoul, Pyongyang, Dalian, and Weihai will form a nearly equidistant quadrilateral. Each of them is within the combat radius of Chinese aircraft, and the farthest ones are no more than 441 kilometers. It flew to the opposite airport and landed, which greatly threatened the survival of the Japanese fleet.
It is easy to accept that China’s bombers have not shown up in this way. They want to use half of the Yellow Sea as their own backyard! Yes, there is no shortage of firepower on land, and placing Air Force bombers here can alleviate the Chinese Navy's dilemma.
You must know that the difference between Navy and Air Force aircraft in this era is not very big. For example, China's H-1 is actually the land version of the Yuh-1: with torpedoes attached, it becomes a torpedo bomber, and with bombs attached, it becomes the H-1 used by the Air Force. Because the technology of precision bombing is far from adequate, now everyone is actually a "dive" bomber, but it just depends on what they carry.
As for the air force in other places, it must be that the Chinese government cannot bear the naval attacks on China's coast, so it is ready to complete its success in one battle and launch a surprise attack on the navy. In the spirit of "revolutionary friendship", the Intelligence Headquarters and the Navy shared intelligence and instructed Liao Yaquan to figure out the purpose of this plan as soon as possible.
What can poor Miss Liao do? Her only intelligence circle is Zhang Hanqing. When Zhang Hanqing fell in love with Ruan Lingyu, he gradually lost interest in her, which made her very distressed.
At first, she wanted to play hard to get, but she wanted to give up, but there were too many beautiful women around the young marshal, and they would not cooperate with her! No, when Ruan Lingyu put on her military uniform, Zhang Hanqing couldn't stop with her valiant and heroic appearance, and completely forgot about her as the first comer. This was true! Using a honey trap on a man who has no shortage of women will definitely pay a huge price!
&A poker player who was not familiar with him before accidentally mentioned that he knew a lawyer in the public concession. As a matter of friendship, he could help him with his lawsuit for free. In his words, "It doesn't matter if he is a young marshal." Like? Let’s sue him in the public concession!”
Zhang Damin was moved. He sold his property, entered the public concession, and applied to the Gordon Road Police Station in the concession to arrest Ruan Lingyu on the grounds that she had "stealed" his property.
It was originally a trivial matter. Perhaps the patrol office did not know who Ruan Lingyu was, so they sent people to her home on Haining Road to "arrest" her.
Of course, the arrest was impossible, but this action was amplified by someone who wanted to do it. By chance, a reporter was present at the time. At that time, he sent an article to the newspaper saying "Ruan Lingyu was involved in a lawsuit." Naturally, it was very popular. .
Celebrities are effective at all times. Ruan Lingyu was not well-known to begin with, but this reporter wrote brilliantly in the article, and the shadow of the young marshal was looming. With his celebrity effect, the news immediately made the headlines of major newspapers and periodicals the next day. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 966 The turmoil caused by a woman
No one believes Zhang Damin’s lie about “Ruan Lingyu” stealing property, but everyone is interested in the insinuations behind it.
In the report, the reporter brushed off the incident and focused on Ruan Lingyu’s story of resolutely retiring from the army. He made full use of the technique of "suppressing desires before promoting them", praising Ruan Lingyu for being a beautiful woman who resolutely went to Dalian and the Korean front line to express condolences, and won the favor of the young marshal.
After being spotted by the young marshal and serving as the head of the cultural troupe in just a few days, one of our main organizers, Zhang Damin, an amorous young master from Shanghai, followed him to Dalian, only to find that his fiancée no longer had a common language with him. No matter his deep affection, infatuation, and years of emotional devotion to her, he could no longer arouse even a little response from her.
Under the pressure of the young marshal, Zhang Damin had to bear the pain and left the sad place of Dalian with wounds all over his body.
The story is very emotional and in line with the aesthetic sentiments of the Chinese people. Becoming poor and then getting rich and abandoning your married woman is a joke that has aged well over the millennia, except that the injured person in the story has been replaced by a man.
Chinese people love rumors about the relationship between men and women the most, especially when it is endorsed by a big shot. This is also a kind of curiosity. Perhaps this curiosity was not malicious at first, and it did not harm the young marshal's "wiseness and martial prowess" at all - he already had three wives and four concubines and was known as a "passionate son", so using the relationship between a man and a woman to hurt him is simply another way to do it. It's just a free advertisement for his romance.
But this time is different.
As we all know, Ruan Lingyu is the leader of the art troupe personally selected by the young marshal. If there is no clear relationship between the two, it will greatly damage the young marshal's reputation of knowing people well and appointing talents.
Moreover, the reporter appealed in the article: "In the Song Dynasty, there was a man named Bao Gong who made decisions for the people, and he resolutely killed Chen Shimei, a betrayer. In the Republic of China, who had the courage to fight a young commander with huge power? Although this matter is true, It exists, but it is destined to be an unending tragedy. The judicial justice that the Chinese people dream of cannot be realized in this society after all!"
Not only did he call Ruan Lingyu "Female Chen Shimei", but she also directly alluded to the social system that the People's Party is fighting for. Its weight is only based on "emotion" among ordinary people, while people with ulterior motives fundamentally deny the system of the founding of the People's Party. Of course, this system has just begun and there are still many imperfections.
The Shanghai Propaganda Department of the People's Party was not jealous and immediately detected the situation. They sent people to make serious representations to the newspaper located in the concession, demanding that it withdraw the article and publicly apologize for the false report that was harmful to the country | head of state.
The result is naturally known. They chose to report in the concession in order to reduce possible pressure on the Chinese government. At first, the defamation case against President Xu Shijing that caused a sensation across the country went unsolved because the instigator was in the concession. Now, it is also happening in the concession. This is destined to be an unsolved situation.
Zhang Hanqing's first reaction when he received the news was: "This is a very awesome person. His bare feet are not afraid of wet shoes. I don't know who had the bad idea, but it actually hit me." In his experience. , the best way to deal with rumors is to "stop with the wise" and ignore them, otherwise they will endlessly produce countless variants and make you trapped in the nest.
Although the concession enjoys China's extraterritoriality, there is also a disadvantage: its judgment against Chinese nationals is invalid, and when the matter fermented, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of the Public Concession was obviously covering his plate - they ordered patrols to patrol the property. Once again, accept this "housing raid" move that is clearly a charade.
But the fermentation among the people cannot be stopped. Zhang Hanqing could be indifferent, but Ruan Lingyu was obviously not as thick-skinned as him. After the news came out, her eyes were filled with tears.
"Young Marshal, I want to go back to Shanghai to clarify this case." This is her sad face with pear blossoms and rain, falling in the wind.
Zhang Hanqing touched her back lovingly and held him in his arms: "What are you going back for? It's too late for the people involved in this kind of scandal to avoid it. How are you going to face this rumor? How are you going to prove it?" He kissed her. , said with a straight face: "Besides, this is indeed true, how can you refute it?"
During these days, as long as he was not going out, he and Ruan Lingyu were always together. It would not be an exaggeration to describe the two of them as gluey. Not only that, what the newspaper said was true. He had Ruan Lingyu first, and then the head of the cultural troupe, but so what?
Ruan Lingyu was so angry that her tears flowed out. She struggled to leave Zhang Hanqing's arms: "It doesn't matter if you are a man. Do you know what fame means to a woman? In order to prove my innocence, I am willing to die." ! That cultural troupe leader, you should find someone else to do it! Anyway, I have no shame to do it anymore."
In the past few days, because of this incident, there are always people behind herThose who opposed U.S. military assistance to Japan by name on the radio could naturally express their "concern" about the public concession housing Japanese troops.
He can't move in the former because it's beyond reach; in the latter, he can move and move much more freely because the distance is short.
But it is a matter of national dignity and policy. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau stated that "Zhang is a civilian in the concession and enjoys freedom of speech. The Republic of China government can file a complaint, but the judgment will be heard by the public court established by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau in accordance with the territorial principle."
Although the trial was a private case, because it involved the young marshal, it had risen to the level of the state: as an indirect defendant, Zhang Hanqing actually put the government of the Republic of China on the dock, and a court from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau Interrogation is not pleasant in any way.
This is to avenge the death of May 30th! The Ministry of Industry and Commerce had no face at first, but now it finally had the opportunity to grab the young marshal's head.
Not only can this person not be handed over, but he must be protected even more, just to keep him and disgust you! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 967 Family affairs are world affairs
Although the Ministry of Industry and Industry previously opposed the surrender of Japanese troops for various reasons, its tone began to change after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the British and American ministers to China.
Because Foreign Minister Gu Weijun conveyed the order from the Marshal: "The United States subsidizes Japan militarily, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce shields Japanese war criminals during the war. You have been directly involved in the war against China! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a request to you on the order of the Marshal. In the end, he said: 'If we fight, let's fight decisively'!
If no reply is given within 24 hours, the Chinese army will be ordered to enter the public concession and complete the task of continuing to attack the Japanese army! All responsibilities that occur during this period will be borne by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and you! "
"This is the resistance of the desperate Chinese government. It is difficult for the embassy to predict the negative impact this matter may have!" This is what the U.S. Minister to China, Mark Murray, said in an emergency message sent to the U.S. State Department. They felt a chill when they heard Gu Weijun's cold diplomatic words directly confronting them.
Just over three years later, the Chinese government has become increasingly tough on the outside world, which makes them, who usually rely on showing off their military presence to calm things down, very helpless. To be honest, the behavior of the US government during this period has caused the outside world to question the "neutrality" stance it has always promoted in the Sino-Japanese War. They made a lot of profits from this tactic during the European War, but it doesn't seem to be successful in the East.
At this time, countries around the world have not yet formed a complete set of regulations for the treatment of prisoners of war, and it is difficult to cover up the asylum of Japanese soldiers by providing refugee relief, which makes American diplomats very passive.
They know that behind Gu Weijun is a young marshal who has always had a tough stance, and the results of his research cannot be measured by the practices of those bureaucrats in the early years of the Republic of China. He said to do it, and judging from past experience, it is rare that he failed to do it.
If they really want to be invaded by the public concession, the problem will be thrown to them.
The extreme isolationist trend in the country will never tolerate a large-scale war with distant China. What's more, the reason is that the country is shielding the same yellow-skinned "monkeys" (a descriptor commonly used by Americans to discriminate against Chinese and Orientals). , no need to specifically point out the source, unless the beauty fans will ask)!
The concession rules they set themselves are treated as if they are in the country. If they are violated, it is equivalent to a declaration of war. If you are attacked and do nothing, it means that your "sovereignty" is being despised, but if you want to resist, use patrols to compete with heavily armed troops?
Ma Murray felt like he was trapped in a cocoon. He held urgent closed-door consultations with the British Minister to China, Mr. MacLean, and believed that the situation was quite serious.
China suddenly raised objections to the entry of Japanese troops and overseas Chinese into the concession, which was a big surprise, because the Japanese army entered the public concession after being disarmed. The Chinese government had not made any statement before. The People's Army participating in the war also sent a special envoy to demand strict supervision of the public concession. Japanese personnel to prevent it from causing trouble again. At that time, the Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau also received a guarantee from the People's Army that it would not cross the border or interfere.
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
With such a major event, it is impossible for those involved not to know the details. With the sense that time has not waited for us, the two ministers called on various personnel in the embassy to use various means to study the reasons. Hard work paid off. According to a senior staff member of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this was purely a disaster caused by a woman.
One of the young marshal's women was entangled by a gangster from Shanghai. He showed off the private life of the young marshal and his girlfriend in the public concession. As a result, the young marshal was furious, and this is why he issued an ultimatum to the Ministry of Industry.
This conclusion makes people speechless, but it also makes people laugh and cry.
Minister Ma Murui, who claims to be proficient in Chinese culture, thought of the famous foolish kings in China throughout the ages: King Zhou of Shang and King You of Zhou who perished to please beautiful women, Emperor Ming of Tang and Concubine Yang who died under Ma Weipo - it is said that his Ma Murui's The Chinese surname "Ma" comes from Ma Weipo, and Wu Sangui, a famous figure in the late Ming Dynasty who "becomes a beauty in anger", both had political instability because of women.
In addition, there is a term in modern China called "pillow style", which describes how women influence politics through men.
"You cannot look at China's beauty culture with normal thinking, nor can you use foreign thinking to understand the influence of Chinese women on politics. The already bold young marshal may have brazenly launched a war because of women. This pair of so-called It is a great shame for us in the elite politics, and there is no need for strategic assessment or consequence deduction, because it is entirely possible that he will not act according to common sense!" This is what Mamouri said in his heart.
"You can't reason with madmen", this is the same feeling as Mike.
At the age of fifty-thirty, Zhang Hanqing, who was not yet firmly established, dared to face the pressure from Britain, Japan, and the United States at the same time and follow his own ideas to complete the process. Now, with full wings, he is more likely to take risks. As a wise diplomat, you should not reason with such people.
?outside world. Of course, I believe that the British government will not break its promise. "
Ma Kelei is very depressed. This army of the Chinese government is really wonderful. Once the contents are disclosed to the outside world, no matter in what form the Japanese personnel are "handed back" to China in the end, the British Empire will always have a burning face.
And denying Gu Weijun's proposal is very likely to make the Chinese government understand that this is just a stop-gap measure by the British. Maklei did not doubt that if he did not agree, would the Chinese army directly rush into the concession? After the great victory, the Chinese army has completely controlled all directions of Shanghai, with only one order left.
There was not much time left before the twenty-four hours, and Maklei decided to take the risk and agreed: I have bought the Japanese side a month. In such a long time, you will not be able to evacuate the citizens and soldiers, and our friendship will not be the same. That's it for now. The dead Taoist friend is not the poor Taoist. When the time comes, as long as we do it appropriately, we will not damage the empire's face.
He raised his head, looked up at the gray weather, and sighed: "We have done our best to maintain the friendship between the two parties. How far it will develop in the future depends on God's will!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel .com
Chapter 968 Seeing Carrier-Based Aircraft Again
It was Zhang Hanqing’s idea to ask the British to hand over Japanese prisoners and overseas Chinese.
The stalemate between China and Japan means that for the entire continent, due to the convenient railway transportation, the army can easily provide support in all directions, and there is also the nearby assistance of the air force.
Now, except for some port cities that are still threatened by carrier-based aviation on Japanese aircraft carriers, the Bohai Sea area, the Yangtze River Basin, and the Pearl River Basin, which are vital to China, are all airtightly defended.
Except Hainan Island.
There is only one army and a relatively weak fleet here. Now they have been hit hard by the Japanese army. Self-protection is no longer enough, and they are simply unable to deal with a possible landing battle by the Japanese navy. And there are various signs that the Japanese army is preparing to land here.
If this is the case, it will lead to separate battles in North Korea and Hainan with superior armies and navies, creating a situation of "you fight yours and I fight mine", which is very unfavorable to China: for rescue, Japan's superior navy can completely stop it. Mainland China's troop transfer to Hainan; if we don't save it, we will see the Hainan garrison being suppressed and beaten by the Japanese army, and the political impact will not be good.
Under this situation, Zhang Hanqing came up with a way to divert his attention because of Ruan Lingyu's "humiliation". Japan has 20,000 remaining soldiers and more than 20,000 expatriates in the Shanghai Concession. If these people are captured, it will be a heavy blow to the Japanese government. After all, it is unacceptable to the Japanese people who have been enjoying smooth sailing in their external "activities".
As long as the Chinese government's intentions are revealed to the outside world, the Japanese government will be more interested than anyone else. The British will not endorse them. Under pressure, the British will inevitably ask the Japanese government to take away their overseas Chinese. .
The way to pick up the expatriates is by sea transportation, which requires a large number of transport ships and a considerable number of navy. Otherwise, the Yangtze River Fleet and the Nanjing Military Region are just decorations? After putting such huge power in Shanghai, where would he get the power to land in Hainan?
Sure enough, as soon as the Chinese and British plans for dealing with Japanese personnel stranded in the public settlement were announced, there was an uproar in Japan, and the voice of dispatching the navy to take back its own people drowned out any strategic discussions. With China's anti-Japanese mentality, once these people fall into its hands, their tragic fate is immediately obvious.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? That army shot and killed hundreds of unarmed Japanese prisoners on the Korean battlefield? (Conscience of heaven and earth, is this a fatwa issued by the young marshal against the First Division? Is it okay to treat others with their own way? Didn’t you see that other Japanese prisoners were “treated” relatively well? This is Typical of seeing only the rest and not seeing anything else!)
The Navy Ministry was forced to change its thinking on "detaching" its naval fleet from the battlefield, and its focus fell on how to confront the Chinese army head-on. When facing the land from the sea, the situation is still traditionally dominated by the land, but no one can raise any objections. They must be led by Zhang Hanqing.
In order to ensure the superiority in firepower, the combined fleet once again divided its forces.
In view of the fact that there is no longer a decisive fleet battle in the strict sense in the Bohai Bay, Admiral Naozhen Taniguchi decided that in addition to retaining the First Fleet and a small number of destroyers, the First Support Fleet, the Second Fleet, and the Second Support Fleet were combined into one place, led by Eisuke Yamamoto. As commander, he stationed troops offshore Shanghai and prepared to launch a Marine Corps landing with the suppression of heavyweight naval guns and the support of carrier-based aviation. After repelling the Shanghai garrison, he used troop transports and landing ships to bring the overseas Chinese back home.
To create a safe transportation environment, clearing Changxing Island and Chongming Island shore artillery positions is a task that must be mentioned. Previously, under Zhang Hanqing's arrangement, the defense of these two shore artillery positions had been significantly strengthened and considerably enhanced.
A new shore artillery battalion, two anti-aircraft artillery regiments, and a marine division were sent to reinforce the two places, and two air force wings were stationed in Chongming Island and Fengxian respectively.
Thirty gunboats from the two destroyer fleets were also deployed along the Yangtze River to delay the movement of Japanese ships. Yangtze Fleet Commander Liu Guangkai is responsible for the overall command of this war, and the 22nd Army of the Army is responsible for coordination. They are full of confidence in this war.
Regarding Shanghai’s defensive situation, Yamamoto Eisuke has a big headache. On November 30, after all the ships were assembled, they held a battle discussion on the "Red Sincerity" as the fleet headquarters.
Although Colonel Isoroku Yamamoto's carrier-based aircraft had not been able to effectively hit the two shore artillery bases of the Chinese Navy before, the deep strike capability of the carrier-based aviation still made Eisuke Yamamoto focus on it in this battle. Although the fleet has four of Japan's most advanced "King Kong" class armored cruisers, each of which is more than 10,000 tons and has super firepower.
Attacking the shore artillery positions from a long distance is a waste of artillery shells, while exchanging fire at close range will reduce the behemoth worth hundreds of millions of dollars to the situation of attacking the land artillery. If one ship is lost, the Imperial Navy will also be injured. Various intelligence shows that there are as many as 72 shore guns on the two islands. These cannons have a range that is not weaker than that of Japanese warships.The arrangement cleverly blocked the only way for the Japanese army to advance, and the strong fortress destined this battle to be a protracted competition. In order to ensure that the Japanese army could not make a sneak attack, he also placed an infantry regiment on each of Chongming and Changxing islands. Later, under the great expansion of the army, he transferred two anti-aircraft artillery battalions to the two islands.
From the perspective of the number of troops under his jurisdiction, this is far beyond the jurisdiction of a colonel. Therefore, within the Navy, there is no doubt that he will become a major general after the war. Even an exceptional promotion to a lieutenant general is not impossible.
War is the only way to give birth to young generals. Have you seen Shaoshuai, General Wang Yizhe, General Ji Yiqiao, General Guo Songling, etc. They all quickly surpassed their peers in the war and rose to the top of the hall of star-like dignitaries of the Republic of China? With his age and qualifications, even being a lieutenant general is not very impressive.
So Xu Kewu is eager to become famous in one battle. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 969 Meat Bomb Offensive
From a tactical point of view, Yamamoto Isoroku was very dissatisfied with the carrier-based aircraft that only took off one wave after an hour.
Aircraft of this era, due to their slow speed, are extremely easy to become targets of anti-aircraft fire. Without a quantitative breakthrough, each squadron will have no effect at all, but will easily be gradually eaten up by the opponent. Only a saturated attack can have a truly fatal effect.
But some idiot had the idea to design a good aircraft carrier into three floors. The original intention may be to be able to store a sufficient number of aircraft, but it seriously restricted the number of take-offs!
Perhaps, in the initial design, the designers focused on the consumption of maritime operations and ignored the Japanese Navy's need to dispatch carrier-based aircraft - also, at that time, apart from Britain and the United States, there was no opponent of the Japanese Navy in Asia. .
Long after the first wave of planes took off, after some hard work, the second wave of planes were pushed to the edge of the runway. By the time they set sail again, it had been an hour since their first launch.
Looking at the carrier-based aircraft disappearing among the clouds in the distance, Yamamoto murmured to himself: "I hope the first wave of aircraft can hit the Chinese anti-aircraft artillery positions as much as possible. Your results will directly affect this round of attack."
More than a dozen planes went to exchange fire with the anti-aircraft battalion that was waiting for them. Needless to say, he knew the result, but he expected the Japanese pilots to use their own sacrifices to provide convenience for those who came after them, just like their counterparts in China's Hainan Airlines. In his opinion, the huge "Izumo" can be sunk under such a dense defense. What kind of power can the Chinese shore artillery positions, which are far less maneuverable than it, have?
He was half right.
A Chinese anti-aircraft artillery battalion has three independent anti-aircraft artillery companies equipped with nine 40mm guns. On Chongming Island, known as the "East China Sea Outpost", these three companies are arranged in a "one" shape. As soon as the Japanese aircraft approached, the anti-aircraft artillery company's position took the lead in launching an attack.
With the well-equipped facilities and powerful logistics, artillery shells continued to sprinkle into the sky as if they were free. The reason why "sprinkle" is used is because the rate of fire of 90 rounds per minute can easily form a rain of bullets in a short period of time. Shrapnel is a nightmare for aircraft, and the air waves generated by the explosion of artillery shells in the air are another danger.
After the last time the Japanese carrier-based aircraft failed to attack the position and attacked the unarmed citizens of Shanghai, the anti-aircraft artillery units had "great public dissatisfaction" and expressed their determination to avenge the people as long as the Japanese aircraft arrived.
Now that we have such an opportunity, how can the officers and soldiers participating in the war be willing to spare their physical strength?
The slow planes are just live targets. Although Japan has the most advanced aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft in Asia, that is just the past. At a time when air force and air defense equipment are advancing by leaps and bounds, resting on one's laurels will have a huge impact on the war.
The Japanese military, whose focus is still on giant ships and artillery, simply does not have enough military industry strength to conduct corresponding research; their domestic economy is also unable to achieve rapid replacement like China's.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the Japanese aircraft entering the Chinese air defense position will immediately fall into a state of struggle. The ones that exploded in the air were better. Anyway, everyone died in vain, and there was no time to worry. The pilots who were bumping in the air waves had to look at the barrages all around with horrified faces, knowing that the god of death just didn't have time to visit them. .
Of the twelve planes, only one managed to escape the hail of bullets. The pilot felt that the opportunity to avenge his comrades had come. He drove a single plane and carefully searched for the location of China's shore artillery positions.
Chongming Island is sparsely populated at this time, and the beach is covered with reeds. Because it is an impact wetland, there are few tall trees, so the Japanese pilots have a wide field of vision and it is very easy to find targets. The bleak winter also made visibility excellent.
Far away, on a bank deep into the Yangtze River, several black muzzles were raised. The unlucky pilot finally managed to escape after many obstacles, but accidentally ran into the position of the Chinese Navy's second anti-aircraft artillery company!
Both sides discovered the target almost at the same time - to be precise, the Chinese anti-aircraft artillery troops first "listened" to the huge roar of the Japanese aircraft, and then the Japanese pilots "saw" the anti-aircraft artillery group turning their muzzles towards them. When it was discovered that it was again surrounded, the People's Army artillery was ready for battle.
It was an asymmetrical battle at all. The Japanese pilot's luck finally ran out, and he crashed into the distance in a smoke-belching plane. As for why a parachute was not used, no one among the Chinese soldiers present thought about it.
The same scene happened again later. The unique three-deck structure of the Japanese aircraft carrier "Chicheng" gave Japanese aircraft a very obvious tendency to "add fuel" tactics in their attacks, causing the already small number of carrier-based aircraft to constantly fall into conflict with ground air defense forces. In tangle.
There are not so many tactics in this era, they are just like moths throwing fire.Continuously fell into a huge pit. So much so that the entire battlefield was like a slaughterhouse made of human flesh.
To be honest, the anti-aircraft artillery battalion would not have such outstanding performance if dozens of Japanese planes launched a full-scale attack. But every hour of fighting makes the Chinese boys become more and more familiar with the weapons in their hands, and they become more and more comfortable in flying. This is much more enjoyable than the usual balloon training!
" All this, Captain Yamamoto, who was waiting quietly on the aircraft carrier, didn't know, was either powerless, or unwilling to imagine. He just mechanically ordered group after group of carrier-based aircraft to take off again.
Counting time, the first wave of planes should return no matter what the results of the bombing are. After staying in the air for such a long time, there will definitely be insufficient fuel. Aircraft are not like vehicles. There can only be one explanation for their slump - they will never come back!
From noon to evening, only a few planes returned intermittently, and they looked so shabby on the huge deck. Yamamoto Isoroku's heart was bleeding. He learned from the pilot's report that they encountered the superior firepower of the People's Army's air defense forces. Only a dozen aircraft in one wave could not break through the barrage.
If it weren’t for the crappy three-layer deck, dispatching dozens of carrier-based aircraft at the same time would definitely be an amazing force, making it impossible for the limited anti-aircraft gunfire to cover it, and eventually breaking through and inflicting heavy damage to the Chinese army.
And it is so laborious to train a carrier-based aircraft pilot. The loss of these outstanding air backbones is far greater than the loss of the aircraft!
However, Yamamoto still gained something: a carrier-based aircraft pilot who had a chance to escape saw a neatly arranged group of submarines approaching from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
According to intelligence, the two submarine brigades of the Yangtze River Fleet are stationed in Xiangshan and Daxie Islands in Ningbo, and are now hiding in the Zhoushan Islands. Although China's submarines have not shown their due value since the war began, as the only The Japanese Navy still pays enough attention to the types of ships that can pose a real threat to Japanese ships.
"Empty, shallow and fast", these two have already shown their strength, how could the Japanese army take it lightly?
Where did this submarine group come from? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 970 Show off
In fact, there is nothing surprising. The Chinese Navy, which has gradually freed up its hands, has already begun to increase its investment in submarines. Before the war, there were at least four submarines playing in Poyang Lake, two more were waiting to be received, and two more were under construction on the slipway.
The reason why he didn't join the navy as soon as possible was because Zhang Hanqing didn't want to make too much noise - walking along the Yangtze River inevitably passed through Shanghai. Intelligence agents from Britain, the United States, Japan and other countries were keeping a close eye on this area. There was no way to hide such a huge guy. It’s impossible to keep a low profile like this.
The Chinese Navy's military expenditure has accounted for more than 20% of the total military expenditure in the past two years. In absolute terms, it has exceeded the Japanese Navy's military expenditure. However, there is not much to see on the surface: the limited number of 18 "Jiujiang" class destroyers is considered a new Yes, the 55 "Hankou"-class gunboats are newly built, but they are far from excellent. They were even outdated at the beginning of their construction - they were originally imitations of obsolete gunboats in the United States, and they only solved the problem of whether they should be available or not.
With the Chinese Navy’s little wealth, it is not that we are afraid of the “China | Threat Theory”, but keeping a low profile will help China concentrate on developing its own business without being targeted. Sino-German relations, especially resource sharing in the military industry, have caused headaches for France and the UK. Japan has also expressed its displeasure to the outside world on many occasions.
However, now that they have broken with each other, in order to break Japan's maritime blockade of China and implement the strategy of "war to force peace" as soon as possible, Chinese submarines have begun to become high-profile. No, six submarines were ordered to join the Yangtze River Fleet and the Bohai Fleet, and they were designated as the 13th and 23rd Submarine Group respectively.
“These submarines did not avoid people, and deliberately chose to pass through Shanghai during the day, just to let people from all walks of life in Shanghai take a look at China’s strength.
Speaking of which, the number of this formation is not large, but what is rare is that it is concentrated, and the Chinese Navy deliberately shows off that it is escorted by two "Jiujiang" class destroyers at the front and rear - needless to say, they are also newly built and will be put into active service. of.
“This not only encouraged the Chinese military and civilians, but also prevented the Japanese army from approaching Shanghai too closely. It also put pressure on the British, killing three birds with one stone. It is conceivable that no matter how slow the British react to this situation, they still know what it means.
Countless people with various thoughts sang about the scene of Chinese submarines swaggering across the vast Yangtze River. It was a gasp for the British who thought that dragging them as long as they could would be a dead end. A breath of cold air is another shackle for the Japanese navy, which has been fighting for a long time and is helpless against the Japanese soldiers and civilians huddled in the Shanghai Public Concession. It is also a shot in the arm for the Chinese people who have a burgeoning sense of national independence. .
It’s no longer good.
Otherwise, people can’t help but ask: Where have all the military expenditures invested in these years gone? Including the Air Force's investment is the same. The Air Force, which accounts for half of the Army's military expenditures, and the Navy, which accounts for half of the Air Force's military expenditures, may only account for one-seventh and two-sevenths of the total national defense budget, but with the strength of the Army, they will not be too weak. yes!
In fact, this is the time difference that Zhang Hanqing played, but he just didn't play well.
In the 1920s and 1930s, it was a time when aviation was developing rapidly and a variety of new weapons were emerging in endlessly. In this era, Zhang Hanqing believed that it was unacceptable to use precious funds to develop weapons that were destined to be eliminated, so very early on , his focus is on catching up with world-class military technology and introducing world-class talents.
Although under the leadership of Zhang Hanqing, China's development has entered the fast lane, with rapid progress in all walks of life. But three feet of ice does not freeze in a day. The cultivation of talents is a gradual process. The numerous newly built schools can mass-produce a large number of future technicians with certain knowledge and literacy, but the accumulation of experience is not so fast, especially China needs to make up too many lessons.
In this case, it is very necessary to recruit talents from all over the world for my use. The introduction of "Dodge" trucks is an example. The major move that laid the foundation and strength of China's aviation industry was the high-paying hiring of a German expert, Messersch Mitt.
Many Chinese people may not know this name, but those who have studied the history of Germany’s war in World War II, especially the Air Force, all know the disastrous blows the German Air Force brought to European countries. Dozens of models starting with "me" were Messerschmitt's gift to Germany and one of the elements that created its "Blitzkrieg".
Messerschmitt was formerly known as the Bavarian Aircraft Factory (BFW). Due to the end of World War I, the demand for military fighter aircraft was greatly reduced, which seriously affected its business. The company's management was forced to find other products. Maintain their position in the industry.
So it was reorganized in Augsburg, Bavaria in 1926. The next year, Willy Messerschmitt joined the company as chief designer and chief engineer and brought it a decisive influence.
In the initialOf these designs, the outcome of the M20 transport aircraft was tragic for the designers and the company. Several prototypes crashed in accidents, one of which claimed the life of Hans Hackmann, a close friend of Lufthansa and Erhard Milch, the head of the German Reich Ministry of Aviation.
Milch was angered by Messerschmitt's indifferent attitude and eventually canceled all contracts related to Messerschmitt, so that the company had to file for bankruptcy in 1933.
Dr. Messerschmitt advocated a concept called "light weight structure". Under this concept, many load-bearing objects are integrated into a reinforced hardware, which can reduce a lot of weight and increase performance.
The first aircraft designed based on this concept in history was the "BF 108 Typhoon". This aircraft immediately set many flight records. From then on, Messerschmitt became the new favorite of Nazi Germany.
Later in 1938, the Bavarian aircraft manufacturing plant was reintegrated into Messerschmitt AG. At this point, the abbreviation of the aircraft name also changed from the original "bf" to "me". Since then, there have been many excellently designed fighter jets in the world, and the company named after it has also become one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in Germany during World War II. : The BF 109 fighter became the most important fighter of the Luftwaffe in World War II.
To this day, it is still the most produced fighter aircraft, with about 35,000 aircraft; the me 209 fighter jet broke the world absolute record for the level flight speed of a piston propeller aircraft; Messerschmitt also manufactured the world's first Jet fighters in service…
During Dr. Messerschmitt’s most painful moment, it was Zhang Hanqing who took the initiative to lend a helping hand and hired him to the Chengdu Aircraft Factory through talent introduction through the German government to upgrade fighter jets for China.
This Ph.D. in science and engineering brought new ideas to China, and based on the J-1, he successfully designed the first new fighter jet with a light metal structure, the "J-2", that meets China's needs. His contribution is not just here, but by designing this model, he has cultivated a group of aircraft designers who can take over China. Since then, China has been on the fast track of fighter development
The introduction of cutting-edge military talents does not mean huge military investment. In terms of talent introduction and technological updates, Zhang Hanqing is willing to spend money, but this does not mean that he will launch output now. He only uses military expenditures to build a large number of military industrial enterprises, divided into categories and with complete facilities.
But in the beginning, they were allowed to produce civilian items. For example, although Northern Heavy Industries Group was established for the purpose of manufacturing tanks and various armored vehicles, its main focus is now on the production of tractors and automobiles;
Wuhan Shipyard is able to mass-produce China's active submarines, destroyers and gunboats, but the construction of civilian ships accounts for more than 90% of its business volume; although Nanchang Engine Factory is the leading aircraft engine manufacturer in China, it puts most of its energy into On car and ship engines…
First, these things are urgently needed for national economic development, and second, we need to improve technology in the process of mass manufacturing to reserve strength for future blowouts.
The accumulation of technology takes time. When the strength of China's various industries is still far behind that of foreign countries, large-scale manufacturing of products that will soon be eliminated or must be upgraded is a huge challenge for the country. waste.
Because Zhang Hanqing has long wanted to build larger warships, the "Hankou" class gunboats that can only show off their power on inland rivers have no meaning after the country's reunification, and the "Jiujiang" class destroyers can only be used for offshore patrol and are unable to carry out maritime operations. No matter how many warships are built for decisive battles, it will not do much good to improve naval power.
????????????? Again, both fighters and bombers, they are still quite primitive
Therefore, the military expenditures of the navy and air force are used in the following order: military academies (training of technical officers and soldiers), introduction of industrial technology, and arms that are relatively unlikely to be phased out quickly, such as anti-aircraft artillery units, marine corps, shore artillery units, and submarines, and then the rotation to surface ships.
This is also one of the reasons why the Chinese Navy has invested huge amounts of money but has had little effect. Without it, Zhang Hanqing focuses on the future. According to the idea of ??"it is better for people to wait for weapons than for weapons to wait for people", countless excellent ship commanders have been trained, just waiting for the blowout when the country's financial resources allow.
This idea is good, but the premise is that no major war occurs during this period.
According to Zhang Hanqing's thinking, China, which has experienced the warlord wars of the Zhizhi, Fengtian and Anhui cliques, the Northern Expedition, and the Central Plains War, was exploited by the Japanese when its vitality was severely damaged by the civil war. In this way, they still covered up the war in the beginning. I can't believe it.
China's current political and economic situation is far better than official history and better than Japan, so he has always been thinking about whether a war like the "September 18th Incident" will delay the outbreak. He also wants to do more economic work before that. Make up. The more developed the economy is, the less likely it is that the Japanese will take action first.
Of course, he never had any illusions that the two countries could make peace: just for the Japanese occupation of Taiwan and Dalian, with the Japanese temperament, they would not reveal the fat in their mouths without being beaten. It was just the best war. It was initiated by China first, and it must have been what China thought was most appropriate at that time! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?The probability that the Japanese will make the first move is smaller.

Chapter 971 Startup
At the same time, the Japanese base camp also detected a very important information. After a long period of indecision, the Chinese military leaders decided to implement the "Knife Tip Dance" plan.
No one knows what this plan is, but it is conceivable that it must be an extremely risky but rewarding idea. Liao Yaquan once received a joke from Zhang Hanqing: "Zhang Damin is really dancing on the tip of a knife when he slanders Ruan Lingyu. The beauty is beautiful, but once he fails, the consequences will be disastrous." She didn't know anything else.
After Zhang Hanqing arrived in Seoul, he quickly moved into Cheong Wa Dae.
Of course, in this era, there was no such thing as "Blue House". To be precise, he lived in the palace of the Goryeo Dynasty: the back garden of Gyeongbokgung Palace.
It was named after the Joseon Dynasty established its capital in Seoul (Seoul) in 1426. The king at that time also built some buildings such as Yongwudang, Gyeongnongjae and a martial arts training ground, and opened a piece of farmland owned by the king. After the Japanese invasion, all buildings except Wuyun Pavilion were destroyed and the official residence of the Governor of Korea was built.
Because its most striking feature is the blue tiles on the main building, some people call it the "Blue Palace". Zhang Hanqing believes that its scale and influence cannot be compared with the palaces in China - in the thousand-year history of Korea, only the king There is no emperor, so it has fallen down one level in the hierarchy. It is timely to change the name of "Blue Palace" to "Blue Palace".
Due to the heavy snow, the North Korean frontline had long stopped fighting, and officers and soldiers from both sides were hiding in trenches to keep warm. After the previous stage of the war, the Japanese army's aggressive offensive posture was brought back to its original shape, and it was urgent to stabilize the defense line. The People's Army strictly followed the established strategy, reviewed its deficiencies, and restored its original position.
Fighting from the 38th to the 37th line, the results have far exceeded expectations, so Zhang Hanqing did not press too hard.
But while the Japanese navy was in a panic in Shanghai, the temporary commander-in-chief's mansion at the Blue House was busy with people coming in and out.
What is the reason for this kind of turmoil? Liao Yaquan, who has served as the life secretary of the director of the North Korean Special Affairs Commission, is very confused. Sensitive as she is, she can be sure that the People's Army is about to make some new moves, otherwise Air Force Chief of Staff Feng Yong would not attend in person. When the Navy used its aviation force to fight, Navy Chief of Staff Shen Honglie also rushed from Beijing in a hurry.
According to the requirements given to her by the base camp intelligence headquarters, any changes in the Chinese Air Force and armored forces must be treated with special caution, because the Japanese military headquarters concluded based on past combat processes: Once these two arms are dispatched, it will definitely be a big war. The Battle of Guandong Province was like this, and the Battle of Seoul was also like this.
But how can a mere life secretary learn extremely confidential military information? Liao Yaquan hated herself a little. She had decided to devote herself to the young marshal to obtain some information nearby, but at critical moments, she could not let go. And the young marshal, although he often passed by the flowers, was rare in his appreciation of her but not lewd, leaving her with no chance of even half-compliance.
“Is it because I am not as good as Ruan Lingyu, who has experienced human affairs early? Also, the young marshal has been around for a long time, and I'm afraid he has long been tired of chasing the opposite sex - he can't count the number of people who have taken the initiative to post, so why bother to pursue him in reverse? But if I want to take the initiative to throw myself into my arms, I can't let go——after all, I am a young girl. Although I have been trained, I still have natural resistance to some things.
She stared anxiously at everyone who entered and exited Zhang Hanqing's mansion, as if she wanted to see something from their hurried footsteps and determined faces. Unfortunately, she could not see anything.
Although he is Zhang Hanqing’s personal secretary, he cannot freely enter and leave the conference room, not even his adjutant. Although they are people around them, they each perform their own duties. This tradition has been maintained for many years and has effectively prevented the leakage of military information. After finally waiting until the meeting was over, she took the opportunity to add water and entered Zhang Hanqing's room.
Zhang Hanqing is looking through the map of East Asia printed by the General Staff Bureau of Surveying and Mapping. From this map, it is obvious that China is in the center, North Korea is in the corner, and Japan is curled up on the edge like a star over the moon. Because it was not long after the meeting, according to common sense, this "dance on the edge of the knife" plan should be related to this map.
Liao Yaquan knew that this was her only chance. She poured him tea with a smile, and boldly changed the subject as if unintentionally: "Young Marshal, we have been in a meeting for a long time and it's time to take a break. We have been sharp-edged all day." Damn it, I didn’t see you dancing with me again.”
Like anger and resentment, almost every man can’t stand it. She couldn't say anything clearly, it would be too obvious, and she couldn't be exposed as a spy. If Zhang Hanqing didn't pick up the fight, she would really have nothing to do.
But Zhang Hanqing said tiredly: "A raid on the Japanese fleet is a life-or-death situation. How can I have the time to dance with you leisurely?"
As expected, the Chinese army has a big plan!
The Japanese Army believes that the People's Army's plan is the beginning of a surprise attackAt the beginning, the logistics of the People's Army did not show the proper preparation for a big war.
As we all know, with the current aircraft technology and the strength of the Chinese air force, it is unthinkable to use air strikes to defeat the Iraqi ground forces like the "Desert Storm" of later generations. Even if the air force is as powerful as the United States, it only truly occupied Iraq after deploying a huge army. An air force without a strong army would face an air raid.
The Japanese Navy believes that this should be aimed at the suppression fleet threatening Nampo, Incheon and other ports in the West Korea Bay. The reason why it is called the tip of the knife is because although this huge fleet is not designed for air defense, its anti-air firepower is enough to pose a fatal threat to the Chinese Air Force that rashly launches air strikes.
The "Izumo" incident was an exception. The Chinese Air Force caught the Japanese army off guard and launched a saturation offensive. After that, the Japanese Navy paid more and more attention to the air. In addition to adding air observation posts, various anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were also on standby day and night. They also planned to add some anti-aircraft weapons appropriately after returning to Hong Kong.
However, the two newly added regiments from China still make General Naozhen Taniguchi wary. If, like last time, they "visit" the Japanese ships in locust-like numbers, there is no guarantee that no fish will slip through the net and inflict heavy damage on themselves.
Even if you exchange a large ship for the opponent's large number of aircraft, it is not cost-effective, and the impact will be different - countries around the world are currently focusing on the number and tonnage of capital ships, not the slow speed of aircraft. Weapons that are not very accurate, and in the same exchange, public opinion will think that China has the upper hand.
Therefore, the Japanese Navy was ordered to retreat to southern Korea to avoid the Chinese aircraft’s combat radius of about 450 kilometers. Of course, on the surface, the answer to the Army is that the coast of North Korea is already covered with ice and is not suitable for large-scale operations by warships. Warships moving south appropriately will help block Chinese ships on the Yellow Sea and so on.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a lie: the ice on the Korean coast is not as bad as the navy said, and even the West Korea Bay is not frozen all year round; and even if there is a thin layer of ice, it does not affect the operations of warships—— It’s not like we’re letting them land!
"However, it is understandable to be timid. In addition, the war situation has stabilized. In response to the Navy's rhetoric, the Army can only close its eyes. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 972 Lightly dancing and flying
There has been no progress in the Korean and Chinese battlefields, and the pressure on the Japanese military is increasing. In order to divert their attention, they focused on the nondescript foreign holiday-Christmas. The government also echoed the sentiment, intending to use a peaceful atmosphere to dilute the front line where there has been no good news for a long time. Since there is no good news, we create good news.
The evening of November 24th is a lively Christmas Eve in the West, while it is cold in the East. It is also one of the coldest periods of the year.
"While China's coastal areas and the Korean battlefield were in a stalemate, Japan was enjoying peace and harmony. Although the course of the war was not satisfactory, at least the situation in North Korea was stabilized, and there was good news along the coast of China - if mobilizing carrier-based aircraft deep into the interior to bomb trains can be considered a result of the war.
In order to boost the remaining morale and reassure the citizens, the Japanese government began planning to hold a grand rally on this day early. It was originally a festival for foreigners, but because it "left Asia and entered Europe", their citizens are more involved in foreigners' festivals than their own traditional festivals, as if otherwise they would not be able to integrate with foreigners.
Of course, since the Japanese military has already learned about the Chinese Air Force's intentions, it has already transferred 6 new anti-aircraft destroyers from China to join the suppression fleet. All other warships focus on air strikes and will not attack the Chinese Air Force, which has only two wings. Said that the dense air defense firepower network of the combined fleet will be their graveyard.
Several major airports in North Korea are closely watched by spies, and the dispatch of a large number of military aircraft cannot be hidden from their eyes.
In the afternoon of that day, news first came from Sinuiju that two bomber squadrons of unknown models began to take off and headed south along the coastline; then news came from Chongjin, and a large number of military aircraft were dispatched.
“Followed by Pyongyang, Wonsan, Pyeongsan, and Sepo, planes from all over the country took off one after another, advancing from the east and west of North Korea. On the west side, because everything they passed was the People's Army's own territory, these planes followed a straight line and did not need to avoid people; on the east side, because they had to face the Japanese army's broad defense line, these planes invariably chose to stay low on the sea and along the coast. Flying along the coastline of East Korea.
This is about to make a surprise attack in a large circle. The Japanese air defense troops along the way are closely watching this group of aircraft. Since they had obtained the target plan of the Chinese bomber group, the Japanese air defense troops calmly watched them fly south. Even if they bypass the Tsushima Strait and join the fleet taking off from West Korea, they are just targets for the waiting combined fleet.
"Izumo" can exchange one for the opponent's entire wing in the event of a raid. Now it seems that the number of aircraft in that army is more than two wings, but so what? The combined air defense-optimized fleet can definitely make these aircraft come back with no return!
At this speed, it should fly over the fleet in three hours. Admiral Naozhen Taniguchi and Lieutenant General Nanjiro are waiting patiently in their respective headquarters.
With this kind of top-secret information, you will definitely have the upper hand by waiting for work. They even planned that after the Navy has almost exhausted the Chinese Air Force's aircraft fleet, the Army's aircraft will also take off to intercept, striving for a beautiful turnaround on the Korean Peninsula and defeating the main force of the Chinese Air Force.
Night has fallen.
Planes taking off from Sinuiju and other places suddenly stopped after arriving at Ganghwa Bay and turned to fly to Incheon. It's nothing. If it's a long-distance attack, it probably needs refueling or something. China's H-1 has a notoriously short range - the combat radius is only 450 kilometers.
However, according to news from Incheon, this group of planes had no intention of taking off again after landing at the Incheon Military Airport. After waiting for an hour, Lieutenant General Nanjiro first felt that something was wrong.
Since the flight range of planes coming from west Korea is so short, there is no reason why planes taking a detour from east Korea do not need to refuel. But the reality is that the Japanese army's camp is all the way, and there is no way for Chinese aircraft to refuel. It is unreasonable to seek the far away instead of the near! Moreover, according to reports from the peninsula’s air defense forces, the Chinese aircraft fleet did not fly through the Tsushima Strait.
The Chinese bomber group has disappeared!
If China’s plan is feasible, then the combat radius of the Chinese bomber must be much larger than the distance from Busan to west Korea, even if it lands in west Korea after performing a combat mission. According to this inference, its combat radius is at least one thousand kilometers.
But now, this fleet has not appeared, which is quite interesting.
Nanjiro looked at the map nervously. He seemed to have thought of a question, but he couldn't believe it. Because in his writing, the area that Chinese aircraft can pass through has been drawn by him as a large arc, and this arc already includes the Japanese mainland from Nagasaki on Kyushu Island to Daigo and Kyoto on Honshu Island.
In other words, this missing fleet of aircraft poses a direct threat to Japan’s national securityWhat a possibility! And it is very possible!
The power of the empire has been placed on the Korean Army and Combined Fleet. Now, the defense of the mainland is useless, and for many years, the Japanese mainland has never been harmed!
Branch | Does that person dare to take the world to attack the empire? God knows what a terrible thing this is! After angering the people, do they still want to stop easily? ?
But Nanjiro is too self-righteous. The Korean War has been going on so far, the two sides have fought until the bayonets are red, and China's territory has been completely devastated. He thought that China would not dare to divert trouble to the east! Is it true that only Japanese citizens are human beings, while the Chinese people are nothing? I only allow you to set fire, but don't follow my example?
Absolutely not!
While Nanjiro was still speculating, planes from two wings of the Chinese Air Force, led by Air Force Commander Feng Wuyue, were crossing the Korean Strait and Tsushima Strait, gradually approaching a coastline at the end of the East China Sea. Although it was approaching dusk, the noisy lights still attracted the fleet to head inland.
According to the established plan, the fleet will choose this as the first stop to enter Japan, followed by Hiroshima, Fukuyama, Okayama, Kobe, Osaka and Kyoto. If it weren't for the lack of voyage, Feng Wuyue would have wanted to visit Tokyo.
Going straight to Huanglong Mansion is worth a thousand words.
The name of this stop is Xiaguan.
It is of great historical significance to make this place the first target of Chinese bombers: after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, it was here that the most vicious treaty imposed on China by the aggressors since the Treaty of Beijing was signed. The unequal treaty "Treaty of Shimonoseki" ceded Taiwan, the Penghu Islands, and Dalian, and compensated 200 million taels of silver, which brought huge benefits to Japan.
The rise of Japan began from this moment.
Regardless of the above historical entanglements, its geographical location is also the first choice for China's bombing target - it is at the westernmost tip of Japan's Honshu Island. It is not only close to other Asian countries, but also located on Honshu Island and Kyushu. The connecting point of the island has been the window for its domestic and international economy and trade since ancient times. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 973 It’s not peaceful on Christmas Eve
At this moment, there are crowds of people here, and the arrival of Christmas Eve has made the citizens of this small country that is proud of the foreign festival intoxicated. Although the weather is still very cold, it still cannot stop people from being obsessed with this so-called festival that they originally had nothing to do with.
As soon as dinner was over, small groups of people gathered in several traditionally prosperous places.
We are approaching the Kanmon Strait. From my pre-war homework, I learned that it is the western gateway to the Seto Inland Sea. The strait has rapid currents and huge fluctuations. It is famous for its dangerous navigation. The narrowest place is only about 700 meters wide. If it were normal times, we would be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery carefully. Unfortunately, these uninvited guests are not tourists, but scenery-breakers.
The fleet split into two and flew along the strait toward the densely populated area.
On an inconspicuous island in the middle of the strait, wisps of fire appeared. Compared with the surrounding sparkling sea, its appearance was particularly conspicuous. People were singing and dancing happily around a huge Santa Claus. There were bright lights all around, and many people could be seen having a leisurely barbecue.
Yes, barbecue. If Chinese pilots have studied this island, they should know that it was originally a famous place for tourists to have barbecue parties, called Ganliu Island.
The origin of its name can be traced back to the duel here in 1612 between two famous Japanese swordsmen, Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro. Sasaki was unfortunately defeated, but people chose to name the island after him.
The reason does not allow Chinese pilots to think about it. What they want to do now is to use bombs to defeat this island again. Following an instruction, two aircraft headed by Feng Wuyue and assisted by another aircraft flapped their wings and swooped towards the small island.
In fact, the people on the island were extremely surprised by the fleet of aircraft in the sky. These days, when airplanes are not yet common, people are still very rare about this new thing. Some people point to the airplane and say: "The pride of the empire."
In their minds, the empire is unparalleled, and there has never been a war against foreigners on the mainland - except for Perry, the US naval officer who single-handedly created the "Black Ship Incident" - he is not An enemy of Japan, but a benefactor.
The Japanese believe that the reason why the Japanese nation later became strong has a lot to do with Perry's visit. Therefore, Perry was the benefactor who promoted Japan's opening up and reform and strengthened the country's military. Yukichi Fukuzawa, a famous modern Japanese thinker, even wrote: "The coming of Americans across the sea seems to have ignited a fire in the hearts of our people. Once this fire is burned, it will never be extinguished."
People cheered for this. Needless to say, these must be the heroic imperial warriors setting out for North Korea. However, when the two planes swooped down, some people still had subconscious doubts: "Why is the plane not heading north, but"
There is no need to think again, because Feng Wuyue has calmly pressed the bomb switch and dropped the first bomb.
The huge explosion woke people up. No matter whose plane this was, the bomb it dropped was real, because people had already been thrown into the air by the air waves.
There were screams and frightened cries at the scene, and the flaming firewood was blown in all directions, igniting Santa Claus's colorful costumes, blowing up the Christmas tree, and throwing people's joy into the East China Sea.
More planes bombed several well-known places in Shimonoseki City. The bombs falling from the sky and the loud roaring planes made people even more panicked at night. People who didn't understand the reason didn't know where to hide in their eagerness. More people crowded into the shrine, clasped their hands and prayed to the gods, begging for the "divine wind" to return.
But the shrine is no longer safe. No, the Akama Shrine built in 1191 was also harassed by a bomb.
Akama Jingu Shrine is a shrine to commemorate Emperor Ante who died during the "Battle of Danoura". Every year on the anniversary of Emperor Ante's death, the "Predecessor Festival" is held, and you can see the unique moves performed by famous prostitutes —— -Various performances including "Gaihachimonji Dochu" and a reenactment of Genpei's battle.
The reason why it is called harassment is because today is not a normal day. Otherwise, in this small space, the damage suffered by the crowd will be magnified. Fortunately it was at night, because the Akama Shrine, which is the stage of the famous Japanese story "Mu Er Yoshiichi", is closed at night.
According to ancient Japanese legend, Hoichi was a homeless homeless man who was blind and performed music while carrying a lute. Later, he was haunted by the ghosts of the Taira family because of his sad performance. The old monk wrote sutras all over his body, but forgot to write on his ears. When the ghost came back, only his ears were seen, so Hoichi's ears were torn off.
This play full of ghost stories has always been loved by Japanese people, but today, ghosts on the stage came around them. Even in their opinion, ghosts falling from the sky are far scarier than Fang Yi.
Fortunately, ChinaThe planes were not reluctant to fight. After dropping one or two bombs each on average, the fleet quickly moved eastward, like a fleet of smoke, they met each other in Xiaguan, and then disappeared peacefully into the night. In order to take into account the range, a limited number of bombs were placed on each aircraft. The quantity is limited and we cannot take care of them all. After all, there are several other cities. And time is limited, so I don’t have time to stay here.
The Chinese plane has left, but the public attention will not be calm. Although it did not have many residents at this time, more than a hundred bombs were fired in various parts of the city, killing and injuring hundreds of people. Blood splattered everywhere and the injured groaned, which was the Chinese Air Force's response to the Japanese carrier-based aircraft's bombing of the Shanghai train.
If it weren’t for Zhang Hanqing’s emergence, China’s revenge against Japan would have been delayed by ten years. In official history, on May 19, 1938, Chinese commander Xu Huansheng led his aircraft to bomb Japan. They flew over the horizon to Kurume, Saga, Sasebo, Fukuoka and other major cities on Kyushu Island, and stayed in the air for more than two hours.
Although the direct results were not brilliant and only leaflets were dropped, the boost to the morale of the bullied soldiers and civilians during the War of Resistance could not be replaced by ten times the bombs on the battlefield.
Now, using live ammunition is even better, so they can’t even lie.
The same scene is repeated in Hiroshima and other cities. After Shimonoseki was bombed, the nearest city, Hiroshima, didn't even receive any news, so there was no so-called early warning at all. After being hit by hundreds of bombs, the situation in Hiroshima was even worse than Shimonoseki, because there were many wooden houses, and some places caught fire after being bombed, which burned a large area.
After the two bombings, the whole of Japan was on alert, and the national defense system, no matter how slow it was, began to operate. There were loud whistles in a series of cities from south to north. Unfortunately, for ordinary people who had not received military training, these whistles only added to the panic.
The common people do not know how to respond to the bombing and do not know where to escape; the entire city does not have corresponding air defense facilities, and the garrison’s air defense capabilities are extremely limited, and they have no experience in fighting at night; the city’s emergency response system is poor, and the administrative head We don't know what to do This is the forerunner of the world's new air operations and the pain before the establishment of a national air defense system.
If it weren’t for the range, the bombers would have wanted to raid Tokyo.
News of the Chinese Air Force’s raid on Japan reached the Ministry of War. The first thing Army Minister Shirakawa Yoshinori did was to go to the palace in person and ask the emperor to leave the palace and take refuge. In the small palace with bright lights and commotion, countless military officers and dignitaries flocked here. Unknown danger is approaching, and people subconsciously want to protect the safety of the emperor, or can they find a way out here?
Amid the noise, Prime Minister Tanaka Yoshikazu angrily questioned: “Where are our air defense troops?!” (Remember this website’s website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 974 The battle for dominance
Two wings of the Chinese Air Force successfully raided the Japanese mainland from afar and achieved great success. It was like a swaggering trip in Japan, as if they were in an uninhabited country. The reality that all of them have returned has deeply stung the nerves of some people, or some groups.
Hundreds of people were directly killed and thousands were injured. Five people drowned while avoiding the bombing, and three citizens were burned to death in the fire. These direct losses are nothing. The impact on the morale of the people is the key point. Therefore, the emperor issued an order asking the military department to review the situation, which is an urgent issue to be faced.
"The invincible army" and "the premier navy", these popular sayings among Japanese people are a bit unreliable! Otherwise, how could the bombs from the sky reach the heads of the people?
The Ministry of War has always said that it controls the war situation in Korea. Then we have to ask, how did the Chinese aircraft pass through their positions and launch this attack on the almost undefended Japan? Why can't the huge combined fleet discover them at sea and attack them, even if a warship discovers them and gives domestic warning time?
Furthermore, how can the Chinese Air Force have long-range bombers? Doesn’t their H-1 only have a combat radius of 450 kilometers? According to intelligence and detection results, the straight-line distance from Chongjin to Japanese territory is thousands of miles!
Furthermore, didn’t the Intelligence Department of the General Staff Headquarters uncover China’s “dance on the tip of a knife” plan? Why was it not targeting the combined fleet but domestic civilians?
A series of questions and accusations made it rare for the two groups, the sea and the land, which had always been unfriendly, to unite and face difficulties together. Both families have done something wrong and are both responsible for this incident, so a deep self-examination is necessary.
But the aftermath is more important. There was no radar at this time, so it would take luck to detect the elusive plane, let alone intercept it effectively. Japan's long and narrow territory now seems to be facing the air threat from China. The theory that maintaining a superior navy can protect national security has come to nothing under the attack of the Chinese Air Force.
Three days after the war, the Japanese Army Intelligence Department learned that the bombing mission was carried out by the newly commissioned "H-2" bomber of the Chinese Air Force, with a range of 1,100 kilometers.
The reason why there was no news about this before is that this air force is located in the northwest airspace where it is difficult for Japanese intelligence personnel to penetrate, and the aircraft of these two wings are copied directly from the ant-4 type purchased from the Soviet Union. Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory has done a lot of work behind the scenes in secret.
After taking control of northern Korea, the Chinese Air Force, which owns this kind of aircraft, became a nightmare in defending Japan. To effectively deal with it, one way is to deploy air defense forces, including air defense artillery units and army aviation, but how many are they?
Because there is no strategic depth, almost every place may be the direction for the Chinese Air Force to break through. It is obviously impossible to bloom everywhere. How much will it cost? Even if the air defense forces are armed to the teeth, there is no guarantee that China will be able to concentrate its forces to make a breakthrough. At a certain point, it became apparent that the air defense force was still insufficient.
Is it feasible to build a large number of warships and rely on warships to "discover" enemy aircraft and provide early warning? The answer is obviously no. If we want to monitor such a vast coastline, how many warships would we need to build? Can Japan bear the burden of its national power?
Is there a way to truly defend the enemy from outside the country? Japanese military theorists, researchers, and strategists are all thinking. Finally, the Navy’s “mobile” mobile airport plan is eye-catching: building an aircraft carrier!
Passive defense is not as good as active attack. The best way to deal with enemy aircraft is your own aircraft. Aircraft carrier-based aircraft can search the air conditions within a few hundred kilometers, and the cost is relatively low-the cost of building a fixed airport may be lower, but it is not as convenient as an aircraft carrier that can attack and defend. And judging from the excellent performance of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation, the role of aircraft in future wars will definitely be the mainstay.
The proposers of this plan were Captain Yamamoto Isoroku, the captain of the "Akasei" aircraft carrier, Lieutenant Colonel Ozawa Jisaburo, the combined fleet staff officer, and later Japan's leading aviation expert: Yamaguchi Tamon.
This Yamaguchi once proposed the concept of a maritime battle group with aircraft carriers as the core, but it was not recognized by the senior leaders of the United Fleet. The US military generals believed that he was a strategically minded general who could be compared with Yamamoto - Yamamoto came out of the big gun and giant ship thinking. limitations, Yamaguchi took a step forward.
Originally, Japan was destined to follow the path of "giant ships and artillery", but due to the defeat in the war with China, the balance began to reverse After a thorough discussion, it won the approval of the public, and the head of the Naval Aviation Headquarters and commander of the Combined Fleet Landing Fleet Yamamoto Eisuke Nakamoto Will be strongly encouraged.
They witnessed with their own eyes the fact that heavy armored cruisers like the "Kongo" class were helpless against the weak Chinese fleet and shore artillery. Most of the several warships that had been sunk since the war were destroyed by aircraft, especially the "Izumo", shocked them. It is so huge that some senior officials of the Navy have no idea about the "big gun ship".The army was not happy, and Shirakawa Yoshinori was going to be the vanguard. However, before he could say anything, the emperor's final words were finalized: "It's too early to talk about this now. The navy and army are all under my control, dear friends." The most important thing is to focus on how to ensure that the empire’s homeland will no longer be invaded by the Chinese Air Force. The empire’s face was completely lost yesterday.”
For this reason, neither side will argue anymore. Shirakawa Yoshinori bowed in fear and said in greeting: "It is a dereliction of duty on the part of the ministers to disturb His Majesty. I will arrange for all armies to strengthen their air defense capabilities and fully mobilize intelligence agencies to monitor the Chinese Air Force. This incident will never happen again." !”
Although the emperor did not specify the responsibility, since the main force of the navy is concentrated in the West Korea Bay and Shanghai, the responsibility for missing the Chinese air force can only be borne by the army. And frankly speaking, the Army should bear considerable responsibility for allowing the Chinese Air Force to go south and enter uninhabited territory on the mainland.
And the response plan for the "Knife Dance" plan was originally provided and implemented by the Army Intelligence Department at the base camp. The inaccurate intelligence was thoroughly fooled, and Shirakawa Yoshinori actually felt guilty.
However, Baichuan was never willing to give up the Army's dominance in the war. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 975 Slowdown
Feng Wuyue led his fleet back safely and was treated with extraordinary courtesy.
The top brass of the Air Force, including Commander-in-Chief General Yang Yuting and Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Feng Yong, personally arranged to welcome them. They held a grand welcome ceremony at Wonsan Airport and read out on the spot the telegram drafted by Zhang Hanqing on behalf of the Central Military Commission: "the Air Force will not The attack from thousands of miles away greatly strengthened my Chinese aspirations and caused the small country of Japan to lose face. From now on, the time when China allowed Japan to do whatever was wrong is gone forever!
The success of this battle also shows that the previous guidance strategy of the Central Military Commission on the navy and air force is correct. If we continue to develop along this path, we will definitely be able to build our army into a powerful navy and a powerful air force! "
After the instructive official words, there is a reward for this group of brave combatants: "In view of the great significance of this battle, and its important role in destroying the morale of Japanese soldiers and civilians and inspiring Chinese soldiers and civilians with ardent expectations on the front and rear. With a historic impact, with the approval of the Central Military Commission, all officers and soldiers participating in the war were awarded first-class collective merit!"
Subsequently, some pilots served as the backbone and "returned" to participate in further studies at the Air Force Command Academy; some were directly promoted and served as the seeds of newly established or reserve flying units; some formed the "Air Force Meritorious Crew" to give speeches across the country and continue to contribute to the Korean War. A few days later, Feng Wuyue was ordered to go to Seoul to meet with the young marshal.
It’s snowing in Seoul, but Feng Wuyue’s heart is burning. Zhang Hanqing not only highly praised his outstanding performance, but also elevated his raid to a political level and implicitly expressed optimism about his future in the military.
He is already a major general, which is not enough in terms of qualifications, but as an outstanding commander of the burgeoning Air Force, he has encountered the best opportunity in history.
The structure of the Air Force is very large. As a young military unit, the training of talents is far from enough, especially at the top level, where positions are basically vacant. Feng Wuyue is now the commander of the Major General Wing. If nothing else goes wrong, he will be promoted to Lieutenant General Commander of the Air Force after the war - there are too many vacancies in the Air Force, and the opportunity is huge.
Rather than letting the army and navy excel, the air force has accumulated strength. The army is firmly ranked first in the Korean War's credit book. This cannot be erased by anyone. However, whether it can overpower the opponent will be tilted in the post-war military development. The top brass in the air and sea are holding back their efforts.
Yang Yuting could only praise the navy's victory over the strong with a weak cruiser and the sinking of a light cruiser "Yura" and four destroyers. After the "Izumo" was sunk by accident, the domestic attitude towards the navy for a while The praise was unparalleled, and Yang Yuting started to sweat.
There is no greater merit than rescuing a driver, and no greater plan than running out of food. With the current strength, it is basically impossible to stand out in front of the Japanese army, which has already psychologically regarded China as its opponent. If the Air Force wanted to become famous, it had to find a new way. At this time, the long-range bombers introduced from the Soviet Union came into Yang Yuting's sight, and this was the reason why he launched the bombing of Japan.
No victory on the front line would be as great as the psychological impact directly bombing Japan had on its citizens. Yang Yuting is worthy of being called the little Zhuge of the clan, and his sword is still young. His idea is approved by Zhang Hanqing.
Therefore, through the mouth of Liao Yaquan, "Jiang Qian", Zhang Hanqing took the initiative and "unintentionally" revealed that the Air Force was going to launch a surprise attack on the United Fleet, which reassured the Japanese army and reassured them about the dispatch of Chinese bombers, thinking that everything was under control. among.
The air force in Sinuiju was actually feinting and took the opportunity to move to the front line, because there were already successor aircraft taking over; the aircraft taking off from Chongjin and Wonsan were the real owners, and they were equipped with long-range H-2 bombers.
Unprepared and unexpected, Japan suffered a big loss. It was obvious that the Japanese Army on the opposite side increased the frequency of takeoffs of reconnaissance planes, and the main force of the combined fleet that had been hovering at the mouth of the Yangtze River also gave up the fight here and turned to the north. Go, the pressure on the Yangtze River Fleet and South China was suddenly relieved a lot.
After learning that the fleet equipped with the "Chicheng" aircraft carrier crossed the Tsushima Strait and began to deploy defenses in the Sea of ??Japan off East Korea, Zhang Hanqing smiled proudly. After successfully "pinning" the combined fleet here, it will be unable to do anything big. When a fleet can only defend passively, its function has been greatly reduced.
In fact, this kind of battle is also needed to give the Japanese government and people a slap in the face: when I have the ability to directly threaten you, it is not appropriate for me to play blockade, harass, and keep the enemy outside the country. You have a strong navy, I have a rising air force, each fighting its own way. Either a decisive battle or a truce, you can't afford to delay!
Mainly it was the unexpected victory in the Korean War that gave Zhang Hanqing confidence. Before, he was still wary of the Japanese navy's destruction of China's maritime borders, but now he finally has a weapon to make the other side wary. His chances of winning have greatly increased, and it has also given him a bigger stage to formulate subsequent combat plans.
The world was shocked by the news that the Chinese Air Force had attacked the Japanese mainland. According to various previous signs, it is extremely close to Japan.The best time for right. As long as the resources are sufficient, the Japanese navy can seize the opportunity in the future battle for maritime hegemony with Britain and the United States.
After the empire had just risen, he was able to defeat the two Russian fleets in one fell swoop with the remnants of the Sino-Japanese War, setting a precedent for "yellow men defeating white men". He was confident that the empire could achieve greater glory.
Not only that, some outstanding people in the army also believe that the situation has taken a turn for the worse and that it is meaningless to continue to add troops to Korea. The most urgent thing is to end the war decently and learn from the pain, so as to gain a say for the army in the future war south. thing. Among these voices, Ishihara Wanji, who has already appeared in the foreground, is the representative.
But, will the Army, which has always had a huge influence in the political arena after the Meiji Restoration, be willing to give up its dominance? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 977 Exotic Customs
"Compared to the unrestrained foreigners, Zhang Hanqing's skill in flirting with girls lies in being reserved, passionate but not overly so. So even though he quickly became involved with Ada, he still maintained an aloof relationship with Ada on the surface. After the dance, he promised to give Ada direct access to Zhongnanhai.
He originally wanted to carry out his "friendship" with Ada quietly, but after all, he had to worry about some influence. He was the leader of a country, and he was the second-ranking figure in the party and the domestic military.
However, Ada, who has a straightforward nature, does not seem to have these worries. She calls Zhongnanhai where Zhang Hanqing lives every now and then. Either she invites Zhang Hanqing to watch a movie, or invites him to a concert, or to play golf or tennis. In short, in Zhang Hanqing's schedule, there are invitations from Ada almost every day.
One day, Ada suddenly proposed a crazy idea to Zhang Hanqing: "General Marshal, can you fly a plane to take me to visit Beijing in the air? I heard that you can not only drive a car, but also fly a plane. This is true. ?"
Zhang Hanqing smiled in his heart. Counting this life, he has been driving for more than 80 years. How can he say he can't drive? As for airplanes, a few years ago, in order to satisfy his curiosity, he suppressed his fear and learned to fly for a period of time. The simple operation of airplanes at that time was one of the reasons why he was able to learn it quickly.
In order not to lose his dignity in front of women, he naturally blurted out: "Of course it's true, but Ada, we have rules and you are not allowed to fly in the air casually, let alone bring a woman with you. "
Ada said: "Aren't Beijing's airports and air force under your jurisdiction? As long as you issue an order, isn't it easy to bring in a plane?"
Zhang Hanqing looked troubled. Picking up girls and liking to show off in front of girls is a common problem for all men. But to put on the label of "playing with things and losing one's ambition" for this is a bit too much. He refused and said: "Ada, either I can't maneuver one plane, or I can maneuver ten or eight. But as the highest military commander who is also in charge of the garrison, how can I casually maneuver planes into the sky? Once such a thing happens, If this spreads out, the chairman will definitely be furious!"
Ada said reluctantly: "What are you afraid of? The chairman is not your father. Now you are inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. If the old gentleman asks, you can just say that you are flying to inspect military affairs!"
No matter what Zhang Hanqing said, Ada was determined to pester him and take her to heaven. Helpless, Zhang Hanqing had no choice but to agree, and in the end he did not forget to emphasize: "But it won't happen next time, just this time!"
Zhang Hanqing immediately arranged this romantic air trip.
It was cloudless, the sun was warm and the wind was calm. Zhang Hanqing, who had changed into the driver's clothes, boarded a Boeing plane with the excited Ada. Fighters are all single-seater, and bombers are uncomfortable to drive and ride. This is the only new reconnaissance aircraft in Beijing Airport. It is American, large in size, and relatively safe. Since Zhang Xueliang's position has been steadily rising, he has rarely personally flown airplanes into the sky.
"I'm very sorry, Miss Ada, I can only use aircraft made in the United States. When our country's aviation industry develops, I will personally fly a large aircraft made in China to take you to the sky!"
When the plane emerged from the clouds and the winding and majestic Great Wall and the red-walled and yellow-tiled Forbidden City in Beijing appeared in front of us, Ada couldn't help but scream for joy
Although Ada is already married to another woman, she is only eighteen years old after all, and she still has the charm of a girl in her movements. However, Zhang Hanqing's first reaction was not her innocent scream, but a very gentlemanly thought: How does this sound sound like the moans in European and American adult films? I glanced at the people around me from the corner of my eye and couldn't help but think: She is only eighteen years old, but her figure is so well developed? It is indeed true that foreigners mature prematurely.
Gu Ruiyu is half-Russian and yet she is so plump. Not to mention how attractive she is as a purebred. If he hadn't used the high air pressure of the airplane to force the nosebleeds back into his cavity, the blood would have been spilled on the battlefield.
This romantic air trip ended quickly, but the aftershocks caused by this incident lasted for a long time. It was originally just a flight to the sky, but the fact that I brought a foreign woman with me made things color. For a time, public opinion was in an uproar. The Kuomintang, which was in the midst of the whirlpool, took this incident to vent its anger and said sarcastically: "To please a woman, the young commander ignored the rules and ignored the responsibilities on his shoulders."
Others were even more derogatory, saying: "Zhang Hanqing is both Chinese and foreign, and his broken shoes have reached the sky!"
After Zhang Zuolin heard about this incident, he couldn't laugh or cry: "It's nonsense, it's nonsense. There is nothing that this little six would not dare to do!" He called him to him and gave him a severe scolding, and asked him: "How old are you? ? You are so obsessed with a foreign woman that you lose all face?"
Yu Fengzhi, the first wife, was still visiting relatives at her parents' home at the time. For this reason, she called Zhang Hanqing from Shenyang to inquire about the matter and politely asked Zhang Hanqing to "pay attention to safety"; Song Meiling was also not helpless.Ada couldn't help but let out a burst of giggles. What kind of man is this man? He is a legendary figure like his father in a high position. He is not only knowledgeable and talented, but also humorous and charming. The woman living with him would be so happy that she would die every day, right? However, father and husband are shackles!
She continued the poem in a murmur:
“All heroic deeds from love’s treasury,
has completely disappeared from me,
I am so pitiful,
So I couldn’t say a word.
I really want to imitate those people
To be shy, they hide their flaws
And I, on the surface like it,
There is pain and crying in my heart. "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 978: Picking up girls is also for the sake of the country
The relationship between the two is constantly heating up, and they are chasing the lovers who are passionately in love. Time passed really quickly, and it took me a while to realize that the sun was actually going to set.
There are still a lot of official documents to be processed, and Zhang Hanqing can't spend time with her all the time. But young Ada has tasted love for the first time, and she doesn't want to leave this warm place. She leaned close to Zhang Hanqing and asked, "Can we meet again?"
Zhang Hanqing said: "Of course you can, but it's best not to go to heaven again." This sentence made both of them laugh.
"However," Zhang Hanqing said, "I am going to Shanghai in the near future, which is the front line against the Japanese navy. I need to study how to resist the Japanese navy's maritime superiority."
Deeply in love, Ada wanted to make some contribution to her lover. She was disappointed and said: "So soon? But I can't go with you, and I don't know what we can do for you."
Zhang Hanqing was waiting for this sentence: "Compared with Japan, our weapons and equipment are backward, especially the lack of advanced aircraft and the technology to build large warships. If we had these two things, the Japanese naval aviation would not dare to fly along the coast of China. If you are so unbridled, what happened to Miss Ada will never happen again!”
Ada said: "You need an airplane, why don't you buy it from Italy? We have very good airplanes, many of which are leading in the world. There is no problem if you want a large warship. Let me tell your father about it for you."
This is really good news!
After World War I, not only was Italy's industry not destroyed, but because of its alliance with the United Kingdom, it received a lot of military technology transfer from the United Kingdom. Combined with its own capabilities, it finally performed well in aviation and maritime.
The Ansaldo SV A.5 fighter, which is fast, maneuverable and has long endurance, is an outstanding representative of the aviation industry. It should have appeared in China a long time ago, but due to the rapid development of China's military power in recent years, countries fearful of their counterparts have imposed a military blockade on China. Except for Soviet aircraft, it is basically impossible to obtain advanced weapons of the same era.
In terms of naval power, Italy is also quite outstanding. During World War I, the British helped Italy build two large shipyards, Vickers-Terni and Armstrong-Pozzoli. Fortunately, Italy defected from the Triple Alliance and the British Navy did not become an enemy of these warships built with British technology. .
The battleships of the Royal Italian Navy have an average rating and good ship design, while the performance of the small ships has exceeded expectations. Many small ships have performed bravely and outstandingly in operations in the Mediterranean.
Today, with the rapid development of military equipment, having the opportunity to learn from the best of others is a rare growth opportunity for the young Chinese military research team. Although the development of the J-2 (modified) aircraft is nearing completion, long range is still a constant pursuit of fighter aircraft. If the Ansaldo SV A.5 can be obtained, it will greatly promote the development of the Chinese Air Force.
The strength of the Italian navy ranks fifth in the world, second only to the United States, Britain, Japan and slightly behind France. It is by no means something that the Chinese navy, which is just starting out, can look up to. According to feedback from Yu Dawei in Germany, several "Dreadnought" class battleships are being dismantled in Italy.
After the battleships entered the iron-armored era, starting from the emergence of the British "Dreadnought" class, the major naval powers in the world entered a craze for building armored heavy ships. Not to be outdone, Italy launched four Queen Elena-class battleships between 1901 and 1908. This type of warship has a displacement of 12,883 tons and a full load of 13,995 tons. It uses a steam reciprocator, dual-shaft drive, and has 22,000 horsepower.
Zhang Hanqing stared at them, not because of the 305mm and 203mm naval guns it is equipped with, but because its hull and power system serve as a good reference for the development of China's large ships.
The battle between the Bohai Bay and the Yellow Sea exposed the weak navy's inability to compete with enemy ships on the front or even in shallow bays. Although the bravery of the Chinese navy prevented the battle from being lost overwhelmingly, after the war, building larger warships was still on Zhang Hanqing's desk.
We do not pursue "big gun ships" one-sidedly, but compared with the light cruisers and destroyers of the great powers, China's future navy must always be able to fight an upright duel without falling behind. The previous order of the "K?nigsberg" class light cruiser from Germany as a training ship was to reserve talents for the use of large ships.
The demand for warships with larger tonnage is purely to lay down the technology for manufacturing aircraft carriers in the future. Building small ships and large ships is not just a matter of stacking steel, and China also lacks large-scale marine power equipment.
There are only a few countries in the world that can help China in this regard. Britain and the United States are fleet faction, and small destroyers may provide support, but there is no room for negotiation when it comes to large warships; Japan does not need to think about it, and it is too late to block it; France has no friendship with China, and it will not be stupid enough to arm China; and the Soviet Union The relationship is feasible, but its naval technology is also weak.
&nb?Ciano's dissatisfaction. However, in view of Ada's status, he did not dare to do anything as a Duke, so he could only drink to relieve his sorrow. He heard that he would soon find a confidant in Houhai.
The old man couldn't help it anymore. Zhang Zuolin had never cared about his son lingering in the flowers, but this time he took action for the rare occasion. He and Zhang Hanqing said: "There are so many women in China, why do you need to be with a foreign woman? If it spreads, it will be a disgrace to the country!"

Chapter 979 Breaking the situation and breaking the family
Shanghai beach has returned to calm.
For the Japanese navy who came in a rage and left in disgrace, they were like a whirlwind and never came back; for the Japanese expatriates and soldiers who were hiding in the public concession and tried to board ships to escape Shanghai, the previous All the assumptions were shattered like pig urine; for the leading figures in the public concession, the departure of the Japanese ship just gave them a step to deport Japanese personnel.
As a result, with the mediation of Britain, the United States and other countries, more than 20,000 Japanese troops and more than 20,000 Japanese overseas Chinese stranded in the public concession were "gifted" out of the country. Under the gaze of the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Military Region, these once arrogant Japanese lowered their heads.
Of course, the people in charge of negotiations in the public concession also pretended to talk about asking the People's Army to treat the prisoners preferentially, which gave them hope that the kind-hearted Chinese would not embarrass them, and they even thought about sending them back to the country.
Zhang Hanqing didn't think too much about what others would do, but he would not easily liberate these strong invaders without draining them all. To be a prisoner, you must have the consciousness of a prisoner.
Besides, among these 40,000 people, except for the officers and soldiers who landed for combat, the Japanese overseas Chinese are all relatively young - the Japanese want to take root in China, and those who came to China early are the best in Japan's various industries. Naturally, their bodies are Awesome.
Building a new China requires free labor that is good and obedient. Besides, a great man once said that the best way to transform a person is to work. Therefore, these captives and expatriates were directly invested in the construction of the Beijing-Shanghai Grand Corridor Highway.
?Compared with the enthusiasm for railway construction, the Chinese government has also invested a lot of effort in highways. In the Northeast, a road network extending in all directions was built as an alternative to Japan's control of the South Manchuria Railway. After taking control of the country, it shortened the distance between various places and Beijing. In addition to the eight "four vertical and four horizontal" railway arteries, a connecting road network was built. The "China National Highway Plan" in major cities across the country has also begun to be implemented.
It was after the war that the United States spent huge sums of money and spent 20 years developing a "highway" plan, which laid a sound path for the sustainable development of its national economy. If China wants to get rid of poverty, in addition to vigorously developing industry, it must also invest in infrastructure construction.
And from the perspective of full employment, giving farmers on both sides of the highway the opportunity to work is the first step for them to broaden their horizons. After all, they can earn some decent income, right?
When all walks of life are making great efforts, funds are already tight everywhere. There is a group of free labor force. It would be a fool not to use it. Besides, these Japanese have enjoyed the "superior" treatment in China, and they should atone for their past and the sins their country has done to China.
The Korean Peninsula has entered the ice and snow period. The People's Army, which has already gained the upper hand, has no plans to launch a new round of offensive. The Japanese army has also begun to review its gains and losses and stepped up preparations for air defense forces. Under this situation, it is expected that there will be no major war until the spring of the next year. If the army can stop the war, that is what Zhang Hanqing hopes.
So the North Korean headquarters began to strengthen its positions on the front line and consolidate its power in the rear, laying the foundation for de facto control of North Korea. Zhang Hanqing came to Shanghai in person during this gap to inspect the start of the "Beijing-Shanghai Grand Corridor" highway.
If the global economic crisis goes as expected, it will begin to appear after the year. Zhang Hanqing is very concerned about whether this global catastrophe will involve China.
There was a time and space in which China was not even a dumping ground for European and American goods because of its weakness. Now, China's economy is improving, but it would be better not to be too disrupted. And with Zhang Hanqing's knowledge, China may even have a chance to get a blessing in disguise.
China, which is far from being rich in material production, has a huge late-mover advantage in economic vitality. How can we absorb foreign technology and talents to the greatest extent for our use? How can we mobilize China's labor force and capital as soon as possible to avoid this crisis? , is what he was thinking about even during the war.
Of course, the conclusion has already been reached, which is to build huge public infrastructure.
Infrastructure investment has always been the main force in stimulating domestic demand. This has been tried and tested in later generations. Of course, its side effects are also obvious. However, at this time and space, since China was the Republic of China founded on the backwardness of the Qing Dynasty, transportation construction could be said to be a mess, if it were not for the sudden rise of the Feng clan that gave China some face. Looking across the country, except for the northeastern provinces, there are not many decent roads.
In view of this situation, Pan Fu, Director of the State Planning Commission and Vice Premier, drafted the "China National Highway Plan" at the request of Zhang Hanqing, requiring the construction of at least two-way six-lane asphalt roads between the first-tier cities in the country within three years. highway;
Within five years, two-way six-lane asphalt roads connecting various provincial capital cities will be completed;
Within ten yearsThere are absolutely no boys among women, only his mother or sister - this is to "save face" for men.
In the past, men made their last efforts for the country, and either died in battle or were captured. Anyway, there is no hope; men in the future are the hope of the country and their families. As long as there is a glimmer of possibility, their young hearts cannot be affected. impact.
With beautiful or not-beautiful women appearing in public, it is natural that some Chinese men with malicious intentions will focus on this piece of fat. Anyway, these women are the enemies of the country. With the idea of ????bringing glory to the country, they come to the women's stalls in twos and threes, waiting for an opportunity to steal some money.
For these women whose families have been ruined, this is destined to be a fate they cannot struggle with. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 980: Enduring Humiliation
Niu Wu, a disciple of the Shanghai Bund Youth Gang and the leader of the Suzhou Riverside, is in charge of a few streets at the entrance of the public concession.
The appearance of this group of women made him elated. Since the People's Army entered Shanghai, business has not been so successful: it is not allowed to sell cigarettes, and it is not allowed to engage in kidnappings, assassinations and other things that seriously endanger social order. As the People's Party's regime took root, control over the areas under the administrative jurisdiction of the Chinese government became increasingly tighter, making him gradually feel that the situation was in decline.
Boss Huang Jinrong and others are obedient to the government, which makes these young men even more afraid to have different ideas. They can only reluctantly visit some places - brothels or casinos, which have not been banned by the government before.
However, since the Queen's divorce lawsuit spread to Shanghai, and the ongoing Sheng family property case has attracted attention from all parties, the atmosphere in Shanghai and the country has changed. There have been more calls to respect women and improve their status. There are many suggestions from sages from all walks of life, especially those from Shanghai who are close to the young marshal. They have far-reaching influence.
They not only influenced every aspect of national policy through the Young Marshal, but also practiced gender equality and women's liberation through the Sheng family inheritance case that shocked the country.
Its influence was so great that it later included the profession of romance, leading the Shanghai local government to issue special regulations to encourage errant women to rehabilitate themselves.
All business owners are free to choose to leave these places, regardless of whether they were coerced by others or pressured by life. The government also provides corresponding conditions, allowing them to either go home to reunite with their families, or learn a skill to serve the society - anyway, various industries need a large number of manpower.
??Except for a small number of real prostitutes who are used to lying down and making money, the vast majority have chosen to leave, which has suddenly created an urgent shortage of practitioners in this industry. With more wolves and less meat, business is booming, but after all, it is not a long-term solution. Replenishing new forces is the way to long-term prosperity.
With the increasing popularity of the people, it is not easy to "recruit" new people - but with a slim chance of survival, who is willing to embark on a career that puts their family and themselves on the pillar of shame? Niu Wu and others were worried about having no one to take over, and now the opportunity came.
What kind of woman is this! First of all, foreigners, the taste is definitely different from that of Chinese people. Whether they are trying new things or using the gimmick of "bringing glory to the country", it is very easy to attract customers. You must know that the Chinese people's hatred of Japan has been suppressed for decades; Secondly, since these people are captives, they are naturally less risky than encouraging women from good families to work, and they are also easily accepted by society.
What’s more, many of today’s Japanese women are penniless, with a family of more than ten or twenty people crowded into a narrow room, and a bunch of nieces and nephews to support. If you were willing before, you could still bring some money out and live a comfortable and warm life in the concession; but those families who didn't have time to bring or sell their property would have an unsatisfactory life.
Previously in the concession, the Americans were invited by the Japanese government to carry out some disaster relief. Now that it is in the hands of the Chinese government, the situation suddenly becomes more serious.
Men, the government has treated them like beasts and has not yet come up with an opinion on what to do with these women. But if this continues, once they become beggars and live without a living, the only thing they can sell is their bodies.
So Niu Wu came and brought a group of his brothers with him.
At this time, many people were already watching on the street. The former master now had to kneel on the ground and ask the Chinese elders to donate some money in exchange for small goods that they did not need and that their families were not satisfied with - ——These are the private goods of these Japanese women. Some of them are very valuable. Even if they are sold at low prices, they are not affordable for the vast majority of Chinese people watching, not to mention that they are not buyers in the first place.
Moreover, the customs of the two countries are so different that some small items may only be used by noble women in Shanghai, while the vast majority of rural women are not used to them. Who among the real wealthy ladies would go to the stall in person? Buy personal items online?
I have been kneeling here for a long time, and everyone standing there is numb, but the Japanese woman has not said a word, only occasionally moving her frozen body for a long time, and never making a sound.
This resolute character may have been deeply embedded in Japan’s national character. No matter how miserable a Japanese woman is, her decisive demeanor is still admirable and makes the onlookers feel itchy.
The men who were watching did not have such good "discipline". Some of them were more daring and flirted with her, and even worse, they began to want to do something a little bit. When the Japanese were rampant, they had no idea of ??resisting. Now the situation has changed, giving them the opportunity to have some fun with each other's women. This is a good thing.
"Oh, those with thin skin and tender flesh, even the Yao Sister from Dongjie Street, don't have such white and tender wrists. Oriental women are more juicy, even more juicy than my Chinese cabbage." This is an onlooker.nbsp; This sound really irritated Niu Wu. Only now did he feel a manly spirit flourishing. In the past, he had bowed and bowed under the Japanese, but now that he had the opportunity to bully their women, he felt as proud as if he had turned into a serf and started singing. The more the woman in front of him struggled, the more excited he became.
After struggling for a long time, the woman found that she could not break free, and finally shed tears of humiliation. However, Niu Wu didn't show any pity for the beauty. Instead, he once again discovered a strange thing: the woman's pearly tears soaked her eyelashes and cleared away the dirt on her cheeks.
????????????????????????. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 981 Pricking Hands
Niu Wuxin was in full bloom and no longer bothered to harass her - he took the woman's hand and showed his two withered yellow front teeth: "God has a good life. Master, I see that your life is so miserable. I feel sorry for you." I can't bear it! Come on, come with me, I will keep you well fed and clothed warmly."
The woman was shocked, but how could her body compete with a man like Niu Wu? Some of the Chinese people watching looked vulgar, some were gloating about the misfortune, and a very few people were sighing, but they turned their backs in fear of Niu Wuyi's majesty. If this is a Chinese woman, there are two arguments, but for a foreigner, especially a Japanese woman, no matter what, you cannot draw a sword to help with justice.
Speaking of which, all Chinese people with some conscience know the bad things the Japanese did in China. It is good to act bravely when they see justice, but they must also distinguish between targets. Besides, Niu Wu is not an easy person to get along with.
Seeing the woman being dragged away helplessly by Niu Wu, it was easy to know whether this place would be a mountain of knives or a sea of ??fire. Without the backing of the country, this woman is just meat on the chopping block, and some humiliation is inevitable.
The crowd couldn't help but separate, and Niu Wu proudly pulled the woman out of here. However, it seemed that some ignorant people were blocking the way. When he turned around to drag the woman, he accidentally jumped into the arms of the person in front of him.
Who dares to block Mr. Niu Wu’s way in Shanghai? Niu Wu cursed loudly: "Who the hell doesn't have eyes" But the man slapped his head and threw him aside. At the same time, he said coldly: "If you are not afraid of death, just say a few more dirty words and listen!"
Niu Wu suddenly looked up, and the scene in front of him made him shudder.
There are several rows of people in black, all with crew cuts, wearing windbreakers, and all of them have cold expressions. Although their skills are unknown, judging from their calm expressions, they are all absolutely ruthless characters. Niu Wu is a master of the Tao, and he can feel it without the other party taking action. There is no absolute way, and he cannot be so calm.
The man took Niu Wu aside and stopped talking. He even stopped looking at him, as if the man was not in his eyes. In the gap between the clothes, Niu Wu saw a handsome man and a delicate girl surrounded by stars like a moon. The girl was very young, but she did not conceal her beauty and beauty. Even though Niu Wu was a figure in Shanghai, such beauty was rare.
Hearing what the girl said, the man nodded slightly and looked around the street. At the same time, he said something to the people around him with a somewhat uneasy expression, and one person nodded respectfully. The girl didn't know what she said to the man. The man looked at the Japanese woman who wiped the bottom of the pot and nodded.
So, the girl babbled something to the poor Japanese woman. The woman was so excited that she bent over and kept saying "Hai! Hai!". While Niu Wu was confused for a while, the Japanese woman simply packed up the small items on the stall and happily followed the girl.
Niu Wu no longer obeys. Snatch his prey in front of him. If this gets out, he won't have to mess around in Shanghai. Although he has always been a big boss, he has a dozen brothers with him, and they are nearby. As long as he gives an order, he can mobilize a team of hundreds of people from the Youth Gang at any time.
It is not easy for anyone to be one of the Four King Kongs next to Zhang Xiaolin. Despite his rude appearance, his eyes are very active. While gesturing to the people around him, he said hello politely: "I wonder where this friend is coming from? If Niu Wu has offended anything, please forgive me, friends."
He can become a famous figure under Shanghai beach tycoon Zhang Xiaolin, but he can’t do it without two brushes. He first announced his name, and if the other party was interested, he would naturally pick up the conversation. Although I don't know where the other party came from, judging from this posture, it is definitely not easy to get along with each other. It is better not to cause friction.
" Carrying people in a sedan chair is not only a secret to officialdom, but also a way to travel in the world. Otherwise, if you kill people all the way, you will be covered with dirt, and it will delay your walk, right?"
He even decided that as long as the other party gave him his name and if the other party could give him some face and handle the matter properly, he would even give up on the other party and take the woman away.
“It’s not like he’s his concubine or biological mother. The other person seems to be either rich or noble at first glance, so there’s no need to have a relationship with them. Based on my own identity, as long as the other party comes to the road, I will be treated a little less favorably.
But the other party is really unreasonable. The young man at the head looked like he was a kid from a rich family. He was not very experienced in the world, so he glanced at him and smiled casually: "I have friends all over the world, but I really don't have your number."
Acting as a hero with a weak woman is inherently despised. Thieves also have a way. Although their background is not very glorious, it does not hinder their search for light. Besides, with his current status, he really can't be called friends with someone like Niu Wu.
But Niu Wu doesn’t think so. Since??You have given the other party a huge amount of face, but what is the result? They don’t take themselves seriously at all! As a result, Niu Wuye, who was running rampant on the beach, came back again, and his ruffianism broke out.
"Hey hey hey, what a loud tone! I, Niu Wu, have been walking around Shanghai for more than ten years, and this is the first time someone has refused to give me face in front of me! Boy, no matter whose child you are, this Liangzi today It’s settled! Not only this woman, but also you, I want to stay!”
The young man smiled casually and said, "Oh, why did you keep me?"
He said leisurely: "What do you want me to do? It's too young to be your ancestor's support, and it's too old to be your master's support. Besides, you and I are not the same kind of people. As for face, I only tell you one thing: 'Face is earned by oneself. It's not given by others! I never need others to give face. Naturally, if others don't give much, they don't expect me to give face."
The girl next to him tightened her face and wanted to laugh. This common "face" among Chinese people, when he said this, it rose to the level of philosophy. However, if you think about it carefully, it makes a lot of sense. Of course, this young man is often unreasonable.
Niu Wu smiled instead of being angry. He laughed and said: "Okay! I, Niu Wu, admire the single person the most. However, if you can remain a bachelor like this later, I will admire you until death!" When he said the word "death" , he gritted his teeth and stared straight at the young man. If looks could kill, the young man would have been killed thousands of times by him.
It’s not that he didn’t want to, but Niu Wu glanced at him and immediately discovered that in addition to the dozen or so entourage around him, this young man seemed to have a protective layer around him intentionally or unintentionally. Although the number of people was unknown, this posture made him slightly afraid. Otherwise, according to his past personality, he would definitely not be a good guy if he didn't fight.
Despite this, after catching a glimpse of the crowd rushing towards him in the distance, he still became more courageous. Shanghai Beach is like no other place. Even if you are a dragon, you have to sit down.
Since the Republic of China, many people have been welcomed and sent away, and many people have bowed here. The paradise of adventurers and the birthplace of the Youth Gang is by no means a deserved reputation. Those who can make a name for themselves here are no ordinary people.
With reinforcements behind him, his courage grew. Niu Wu stretched his muscles and said with a smile: "For many years, no one has dared to talk to me like this. Boy, you are the first. Since you don't like me, you don't bother to sign up for me. If the heavy rain comes, Dragon King Temple, you can’t blame me! You don’t seem to have enough people with you today.”
His words were foreshadowing. According to the rules of the world, since he has let go, if the other party does not continue, the fault lies with the other party. Because the identity of this young man is really worrying. He was so talented, but if it had been anyone else, he would have copied him long ago.
The young man was stunned and asked stupidly: "Don't worry, you and I are definitely not on the same path." He pointed at the crowd that was getting closer and closer - a group of thick and muscular men with unkind faces. , all carrying tools in their hands, ranging from machetes to iron rods, and some even carrying axes——"Are these people? There are also axes, they can't be from Wang Yaqiao's Ax Gang, right?"
The Ax Gang is the representative of the rise of the "nouveau riche" in Shanghai. They hurriedly built hundreds of axes because Wang Yaqiao was seeking an explanation for the dock workers from Anhui and rushed to the homes of capitalists. The leader of the Lian Qing Gang, Huang Jinrong, became famous. , Du Yuesheng and others all have to stay away because they are not afraid of death.
Soon, the reputation of the "Axe Gang" spread throughout Shanghai. Not only that, the underworld all over the country knew that there was an Axe Gang in Shanghai, and its leader was Wang Yaqiao. The president of the Republic of China changed one term after another, but Wang Yaqiao, the leader of the Ax Gang, has always been in office.
But the young man’s words were obviously a form of ridicule—he was not even afraid of the Ax Gang! For a moment, Niu Wu felt at a loss. If this person was not even afraid of the Ax Gang, he would naturally not take his threat to heart.
He didn’t believe it. Even the former director of the Shanghai Police Department was assassinated. Even if this young man is either rich or noble, how much more noble can he be than that director? Maybe, this is just a young boy who has no idea how big the world is and has come to Shanghai to show off his power! But, is this the place you should come?
The leader of the team was one of his capable men, who was having fun in the village and was summoned in a hurry. He was very angry. Looking at such a group of people, although he was a little frightened, he thought that there were many people and he couldn't lose his spirit in front of his elder brother, so he shouted at the top of his voice: "Fifth Master, what can I do for you brothers? "
Before he finished speaking, he felt a dozen eyes sweeping over him, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
How many years has this kind of thing not happened? I'm afraid it's only possible if Wang Yaqiao glared at him before, right? He has really seen the "Killer King" himself. I'm afraid this feeling is even more heart-stopping now than before. What's going on?
Niu Wu could not understand the inner world of this young man. He looked at the young man and said proudly: "With these more than a hundred brothers, how many people can you judge?"
Unexpectedly, the young man didn't even look at these people, nor did he look at him. He just murmured to a follower beside him: "Uncle Zhiliang's steps are too steady. He has been in Shanghai for a long time. Why is he still like this?" What a mess? This Hu Hanmin is not up to par, it’s time to consider replacing him.” (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Seeing the inner world of this young man, he looked at the young man and said proudly: "With these more than a hundred brothers, how many people can you judge?"

Chapter 982 Crack down on gangsters
Niu Wu didn’t know who Zhiliang was, but he knew the name of Hu Hanmin, the governor of Shanghai Province.
Originally, Shanghai Beach was only a part of Jiangsu. It has been called Songjiang Prefecture since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the Republic of China, a Songhu military envoy was also set up, but it was subject to the control of the Jiangsu Governor. Of course, this was only in name. At least during the war between Jiangsu and Zhejiang, one factor was that the military guards at that time obeyed Zhejiang's orders.
Before the Feng Clan took over Beijing, Shanghai, which was already independent of Jiangsu, had become a large region with considerable status and the prototype of a modern international metropolis. If in official history, it had become a municipality directly under the Central Government of the Republic of China at this time. However, during the Zhang Hanqing era, it became a province of the Republic of China and a province directly under the jurisdiction of Shanghai.
In January 1912, the Republic of China was established. Cutting off Songjiang Prefecture and Taicang Prefecture, the Shanghai area belongs to Jiangsu Province and includes 10 counties including Shanghai, Huating (later renamed Songjiang), Jiading, Baoshan, Chuansha, Nanhui, Fengxian, Jinshan, Qingpu, and Chongming.
In 1914, Jiangsu Province was divided into 5 roads including Shanghai and Hainan. The Shanghai Road was located in Shanghai County and governed Shanghai, Songjiang, Nanhui, Qingpu, Fengxian, Jinshan, Chuansha, Jiading, Baoshan, Chongming and other counties that are part of Shanghai today. It belongs to Haimen County in Jiangsu Province.
Before 1927, Zhabei and Nan City outside the concession were under the jurisdiction of Shanghai County, Jiangsu Province.
If in 1927 in official history, the Nationalist Government would establish the Shanghai Special City in areas outside the concession, and at the same time merge 17 cities and townships in Shanghai County and Baoshan County that originally belonged to Jiangsu Province, with a total area of ??494 square kilometers, and Shanghai was officially separated from the jurisdiction of Jiangsu , directly under the Executive Yuan.
During the Zhang Hanqing era, this area was too small to carry the capacity of East China's economic leader, so the above-mentioned counties were still divided into Shanghai. Not counting the public concessions, which were still outside the de facto jurisdiction of the United Kingdom and the United States, the beach area of ??Shanghai suddenly increased. More than ten times more. In this way, Shanghai can assume the task of direct jurisdiction.
Naturally, due to the principle of unified administrative names, Shanghai is not called a municipality directly under the Central Government, but a province directly under the Central Government.
Because of its status, the Shanghai Provincial Party Committee Secretary was transferred to Zhang Huilin. Zhang is a veteran of the Feng Clan, and he is very knowledgeable about the economy - he was originally the second general manager of the official bank of the three eastern provinces, the predecessor of the Bank of China, and is also a member of the Politburo.
Zhang Huilin’s nickname is Zhiliang. Most senior officials in Shanghai Province know it, but it is rarely mentioned. Because there are not many people in Shanghai who can directly call him by his nickname, so it is normal for Niu Wu to not react.
"But Hu Hanmin's name is much more famous. The provincial governor is directly in charge of administration and has dealings with big and small figures in Shanghai. Hu Hanmin made his fortune in Shanghai. He served as the deputy mayor of Shanghai during the May 30th Incident. He also cooperated with Zhang Hanqing in dealing with the aftermath and left a good impression on Zhang Hanqing. Therefore, he strongly supported his election during the internal fighting of the Kuomintang. He finally lived up to his expectations and became the chairman of the Kuomintang.
After the Congress incident, the Kuomintang was suppressed too hard. A few members of the Kuomintang were squeezed out of the center by the Kuomintang, not as good as Yan Xishan and others - they still have the title of vice president of the country. Among the Kuomintang, only Hu Hanmin had the most administrative power, and he was elected as the first governor of Shanghai Province. Kong Xiangxi, who turned against the government due to Soong Meiling, got the real job of deputy governor of the Bank of China.
At this time, the domestic and international situation still required various political parties to embellish the situation, so Hu Hanmin was reused and served as the governor of Shanghai, the gateway to East China, and his position was of great importance. Moreover, Shanghai is originally a financial source of the Kuomintang, and allowing him to sit here also shows the Kuomintang's friendship and trust in him.
The reason why Zhang Hanqing stood up to the public opinion was on the surface to reward Hu and Kong for turning to the Kuomintang. In fact, there was a deeper idea of ??marginalizing the Kuomintang.
A leader of a major party who was once on an equal footing with the People's Party can only serve as the governor of one province in the country, and will in fact lose the confidence to challenge the People's Party. When administrative power in various places is completely controlled by standing committees at all levels, cadres who are not affiliated with the People's Party will either change their jobs or accept the fact that they are sidelined.
No rush yet…
Therefore, Hu Hanmin’s influence in Shanghai is still huge for the time being, at least Niu Wu is heartbroken. This young man was able to speak directly to Hu Hanmin, so he certainly had a lot of background. Don't look at Niu Wu Niu Pi Hong Bang, he also knows that since the People's Party entered Shanghai, the underworld situation has been getting worse day by day.
Several vice-governors were transferred from Beijing. Together with a group of senior cadres from the People's Party's Shanghai Party Headquarters and local garrison troops, the Shanghai Naval Administrative Committee has firmly controlled the situation in Shanghai. Taking advantage of the opportunity of administrative changes, a complete and strict administrative system was established from top to bottom. The People's Party also took root at the grassroots level and gradually penetrated the territory previously controlled by the Youth Gang.
In Shanghai, a tiny place, first the 4th Army was stationed in key areas, then the Armed Police Force was divided, and then the local police stations were divided and managed. Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Youths from the Youth Gang who don’t have tough guys dare not get into trouble., it will be a matter of time before the gangster disciples fade out of Shanghai.
Huang Huangrong was the first to taste the benefits of the state machine. At that time, Lu Xiaojia, the son of the Zhejiang governor Lu Yongxiang, was jealous of him, so the Shanghai military envoy took care of him and almost killed him.
Therefore, after the People's Army entered Shanghai with the remaining power of the victory across the Yangtze River, it adopted the policy of comprehensive cooperation and gave the People's Army some conveniences. Only then did the two sides have a certain degree of tacit understanding and maintain their reputation.
Another tycoon, Du Yuesheng, was even better at being a good person. He simply acted as the vanguard of the People's Army and made a big splash during the May 30th Incident, which also gave Zhang Hanqing a good impression of this boss.
If possible, he will consider peacefully coexisting with him and giving him a decent transformation - being able to do this in troubled times, many Chinese people are not as good as him, and this is what he deserves, and he cannot chill people's hearts.
On the contrary, Zhang Xiaolin, who was ranked third, felt that the concession of the two eldest brothers was a good opportunity for him to get ahead, so he also took the opportunity to gain some territory. Otherwise, with Niu Wu's urinary nature, it would never be his turn to achieve the Four Diamonds and make a name for himself in Shanghai.
"I wonder what the relationship between this eldest brother and Governor Hu is?" Niu Wu asked cautiously despite his arrogance. Since ancient times, there has been a balance between officials and thieves. No matter how rampant he is, he still knows how to behave appropriately. Several of his elder brothers have repeatedly ordered his subordinates not to go against the government.
The young man didn't even look at him, he just walked away
“That’s not enough, the Japanese woman he finally fell in love with also left, left
This made Niu Wu very unhappy and felt extremely insulted. He was furious and wanted to step forward to do something, but two people suddenly appeared from the crowd and held him down with their hands. One test of the strength revealed that they were Lian Jiazi. He still wanted to show off, but he saw two black short spears pressed against his forehead, and the expressionless looks on their faces made people feel chilled in their hearts.
"If you dare to move again, I'll shoot you to death" These words made Niu Wu realize that he was in trouble, and he obeyed obediently. None of his minions had the courage to ride on the Savior alone, and some of them had already begun to rub oil on their feet when they saw the opportunity.
Niu Wuban knelt on the ground and was horrified: "Good men, we are all a family. Don't let the flood wash away the Dragon King Temple. I am Mr. Zhang's man" Until now, he still doesn't know which god he has collided with, but Zhang Xiaolin's name should still be useful.
But no one paid attention to him. The young man didn't even look at him the whole time, and not long after, sirens blared, and a large group of Shanghai police came.
"Just leave it to the police. Mr. Zhang is very proud in the police station" This was Niu Wu's lucky idea. However, when these fully armed police officers arrived and a police officer solemnly saluted the follower in the crowd, he was a little surprised. Because he knows this police officer. Isn't this Director Wu from Hongkou Police Station?
This is an upright and tough master, even Zhang Xiaolin was frightened, and he once told them not to fall into his hands. But such a great person has to salute a follower. So, who is that young man?
I feel like I’ve offended someone I can’t afford to offend, but it’s okay, she’s just teasing women, she’s still a Japanese girl, she’s been imprisoned for a period of time, and she admits it!
The follower and Director Wu gently bit their ears and left. It seemed that there was some "hard, fast and strict" or something, and then Niu Wu was taken to a high-security prison. After a day of detention, he finally heard a clear cry outside the prison door: "Niu Wu!"
Ah, isn’t this the second son of Liu Xiucai’s family next door? After graduating from middle school two years ago, he was admitted to the court to work. Although I don't have a harmonious relationship with their family, I have some kind of relationship at least. Someone came from the court. Maybe it was because Mr. Zhang sent someone to smooth things over after hearing the news, right? This kind of thing happens all the time in Shanghai. It is common for people like them to go to jail and leave.
Subconsciously, he replied: "Arrived!"
But this time, he heard heartbreaking news.
"Shanghai Tang Niu Wu, as a disciple of the Youth Gang, has caused many troubles. After the People's Government regained Shanghai, he did not want to restrain himself. Instead, he intensified his bullying of men and women, seriously disrupting social security. In order to violate the law and discipline, he was punished by the Shanghai Navy. We will propose that the Provincial No. 1 Intermediate Court decides to sentence him to death and execute it immediately!”
On the eve of his confusion, he saw several heavily armed police officers trying to grab his arms with expressionless faces. He was unable to struggle at all, as his arms had been cuffed before. He just shouted in sweat: "How could this happen? I want to tell Mr. Zhang!"
"Mr. Zhang can't protect himself, how can you still count on him? Do you know how many Youth Gang disciples were imprisoned in Shanghai in this day? Uncle Niu Wu, you have offended someone who shouldn't be offended!" It's still a bit of a friendly neighbor. The second son of the Liu family who is very friendly can help him get rid of the mystery, otherwise Niu Wu will die in peace.
Only then did Niu Wu remember the extraordinary young man: "Who is that young man?" he asked reluctantly.
"It's the young marshal!"
Niu Wu fell to the ground slumped. He had indeed offended "someone who shouldn't be offended." In the Republic of China, his words were more effective than the imperial edict of the former little emperor, and his reputation in Shanghai was clearly left in the memory of the people in Shanghai. middle. What a hit! he thinks. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)This kid can help him get rid of his doubts, otherwise Niu Wu will die in peace.

Chapter 983 Cherish heroes and value heroes
At the same time, all the gangsters in Shanghai were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. The government officially ordered that in view of the complicated situation in Shanghai and the war period, the Shanghai Provincial Emergency Committee, also known as the Military Control Commission, was formed to take over all powers in accordance with the law.
Almost at the same time, the newly established Military Control Commission announced the ban on all gang organizations, and the people on the list Huang Huangrong had handed over were interviewed one by one.
No normal political power will tolerate an underground organization interfering with its order of operation, and the people's political power will not allow its existence to affect the normal construction of the legal system. When the People's Army entered Shanghai, they did not eliminate these gangs and guilds in time because they had many more important things to do. However, once they were freed up, the issue of crackdown on gangs was listed as a national campaign like the ban on gambling, drugs, and smoking.
As for why there was no crackdown on pornography, Zhang Hanqing had his own idea. Prostitutes have existed from ancient times to modern times, both at home and abroad, and there is a reason for their existence.
In terms of harm, it is not as harmful as the above-mentioned poisons to Chinese people;
From a moral perspective, it does not threaten others and can even play a role in stabilizing society. It is at least much better than having a mistress or extramarital affairs;
From an economic perspective, this is also a way out of desperation. If the police department wants to eradicate it, the cost and results are not cost-effective.
A woman who really has a way to survive will not take this road. What is the benefit of saving a woman who is willing to take this road?
The power of the People's Party's dictatorship is infinite. Basically, the gang leaders interviewed showed great restraint, and no one had any intention of resisting.
I heard that Niu Wu, who ran rampant on the beach yesterday, was killed. Along with a dozen of his vicious men, dozens of others were imprisoned pending trial. The speed and force of his judgment set a record. Because we are currently in wartime, the Shanghai Court has always followed suit in cases brought by the Shanghai Naval Regulatory Commission, not to mention that Zhu Guangmu, director of the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, personally handled the case.
Zhang Xiaolin has been affected and is still being questioned by the Shanghai Police Department. Several of his capable men are obediently waiting for the interview at the prescribed time. No one in this huge underworld organization dared to cause trouble or act excessively, and all of a sudden they became good citizens.
Huang Huangrong was very worried. He had cooperated very well with the Kuomintang to control the people of Shanghai. When the People's Army entered a few years ago, he restrained his subordinates from causing trouble. Later, he actively cooperated with the Shanghai Party Headquarters of the People's Party to complete the transfer of power. He also submitted the list of major subordinates as a sign of compliance, and thus lived a stable life for several years. .
But when the People’s Party stabilized its power, it suddenly made such a big move, which made people very suspicious whether Qiu Hou was settling the accounts, even though Niu Wu was not one of his own. At the same time, a large group of former subordinates went to Huang's Mansion to inquire about the news and formulate countermeasures. Since the government won't let them live a good life, then they should rise up to resist and give full play to the characteristics of Shanghai's many concessions and the mixed bag of good and bad.
Huang Huangrong is not extreme. A few years ago, when the People's Party was still not stable, he submitted the list and almost gave up his underworld career. Times have changed, and when the People's Government is in power, he has no intention of confrontation. Confrontation is seeking death. However, it is not his nature to sit back and watch his former brother fall into crisis, or live a life without hope.
So he personally asked to visit Zhang Hanqing.
In early winter, Shanghai was full of desolation. At the Shanghai Provincial Headquarters of the People's Party, Zhang Hanqing had a long and heart-to-heart talk with three of his old friends. Sitting opposite him were Shanghai's famous tycoons Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and Wang Yaqiao.
Back then, Du Yuesheng generously gave a large sum of money to Han Linchun to buy arms. Later, during the May 30th Incident, he also acted resolutely and chivalrously for the country and the people;
Wang Yazhui and Zhang Hanqing also had a friendly relationship in Beijing that meant they would not kill anyone. They also had a life-saving relationship with Zhang Hanqing in Shanghai. When she was acting as Song Ziwen's love rival for Zhang Hanqing in Shanghai, she gave him a warning out of righteousness, but allowed him to take the opportunity to bring about the perfect settlement of the May 30 Incident. The heart is eager for wisdom;
??And Huang Jinrong is the hero who has the most dealings with the People's Party.
Zhang Hanqing still recognized their abilities, so he spared no effort to persuade them to submit to the government or work for the government.
"The three of them have made many meritorious deeds during the growth of the People's Party and the People's Army. They have also fought side by side in safeguarding the authority of the new government and resisting foreign aggression. They are good friends of the Chinese People's Party. The church gangs were the lower class people at that time. It is naturally formed when resisting corrupt bureaucrats and working people help each other. In today's era of Sanpanzhiyi, its existence has gone to the opposite side of the construction of the national legal system. We are very determined to eradicate gangs, and we hope that the three of them can judge the time and seize the opportunity. We will cooperate with the government to implement this policy."
Du Yuesheng and Wang Yaqiao are the two major underworld leaders in Shanghai who are the most influential gangsters in Shanghai. The former is the most powerful member of the Green Gang, and the latter is the leader of the Ax Gang. Their every move is extremely iconic. ??.
"Mr. Huang, you are worrying too much. I admire your righteousness for the country. A few days ago, that Japanese guy named Nakajima came to you to do something, and you answered very manly. On this point, I will not doubt it. Your position!”
With just one sentence from Zhang Hanqing, Huang Huangrong's expression changed drastically. The People's Party's hands are really pervasive!
It turns out that before the Japanese army invaded Shanghai, in order to achieve the purpose of attacking from inside and outside to make the Chinese government busy, Nakajima, a Japanese who had been in contact with him before, found Huang Jinrong and asked him to arrange for the disciples of the Youth Gang to stir up a storm in Shanghai. What Nakajima brought to Huang Jinrong was not only a golden ticket worth millions, but also a heavy promise from the Japanese intelligence agency.
However, Huang Huangrong resolutely refused. He said, "Although I haven't read many books, I know Yue Fei!"
The lower the people are, the more they value national justice; on the contrary, educated people will find various reasons to excuse themselves. He did not expect that a simple word from the heart at that time would win him Zhang Hanqing's favor and also lay the foundation for a good ending for the rest of his life. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 984 A combination of kindness and power
In Zhang Hanqing’s heart, those who can strictly abide by the national justice will not commit any serious crimes. Thieves also have their way. With just these words, he decided to let Huang Jinrong go. No matter how many things he had committed before, as long as he did not help others in the subsequent purges.
Originally, I wanted to use Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin as targets, because one of them is the leader, the other is a heinous criminal, and both of them are very representative. Seeing Huang Jinrong surprised, he felt a little proud. These are nothing. If the people in the Shanghai State Security Department don't even pay attention to him, the gang leader, they will be swallowed by Gao Jiyi's saliva.
"Mr. Huang, since ancient times, chivalry has used martial arts to break the ban. Whenever a government is stable, it will definitely ban gang organizations. After all, it does more harm to society than it contributes. A stable society must be based on the rule of law. So the gangs Banning is a conclusion that cannot be discussed. I have come to you to discuss how to disband it smoothly. This has no precedent before.
Mr. Huang is the leader of the Green Gang. Although he has faded away, he will still play a big role in this process. After all, his prestige is still there. If it succeeds, it will be a great contribution to the country and the gang, and we will still be good friends; if trouble occurs, I think the Shanghai Provincial Government and Military Control will have enough ways to solve it, but this will not save everyone's face. Not pretty.
As for you worrying that people in the gang can't make a living, that's too much to worry about. Shanghai has been listed by the country as the economic leader in the South, with many employment opportunities and many factories and mines having personnel in short supply. As long as you are willing, it is perfectly fine to support yourself.
What I worry about is that some people are used to being idle and getting something for nothing. They cannot bear this kind of hardship and cannot accept this kind of control. Only such social bugs will be targeted by the people's government. "
As if to put pressure on several people, Zhang Hanqing casually "revealed" a secret: "In order to stabilize the situation in Shanghai and achieve a comprehensive victory in the crackdown on gangs, gambling, drugs, and cigarettes, we will dispatch another armed police division to Shanghai to assist the Shanghai Armed Police Corps. and the work of the National Police Agency.”
Under the strong pressure of the people's dictatorship, all dark forces will eventually be unable to survive in the sun. Huang Jinrong believed that if one armed police division was not enough, Zhang Hanqing would not hesitate to redeploy one, two or even more people. This can be seen from his tough approach in the May 30th Incident.
The only way to deal with this leader who is not prone to compromise and who has become increasingly powerful is to compromise first.
After making up his mind, Huang Huangrong said sincerely: "Young Marshal, as long as there is a chance to make a living, the Qinggang disciples are still willing to work hard to adapt to work. I can guarantee this. I will also guarantee with my personality that I will work hard to restrain Help the people, let them do something for the country, and create a stable nest for themselves and their descendants. Didn’t the young marshal say that they must support themselves, we listen to the young marshal.”
This is good, to subjugate the enemy's army without fighting is to be a good fighter. Zhang Hanqing doesn't want to start a movement or anything at this time. Firstly, he is not good at it. Secondly, this method of human rule is not good for the country's legal system. Thirdly, the enemy does not have the energy at the moment. It would be best for Huang Huangrong to have this kind of awareness.
He showed a very pleased expression and said: "Mr. Huang has such a profound understanding of justice. On behalf of the Shanghai Committee of the People's Party and the Shanghai People's Government, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks! For a socially virtuous person like Mr. Huang, I will solemnly recommend it to the Shanghai Provincial Council." As a member of parliament, I will continue to exert Mr. Huang’s influence and power! Mr. Huang will also join as deputy director in the work of combating gangs, gambling, drugs, and smoking in Shanghai!”
" Carrying people on sedan chairs, the People's Party's achievements today are inseparable from its effective united front work. If we use talents in an eclectic way and win over more people, the opposition will lose some strength. The ruling party should have this kind of insight and courage.
?? Huang Huangrong sighed, it was no accident that the People's Party was able to conquer the world. Zhang Hanqing's ambition was enough to withstand a hundred thousand soldiers. In terms of combating gangs and embodying the will of the government, Zhang Hanqing has a comfortable income and a combination of kindness and power, so he has to work hard for it.
The title of provincial councilor does not have much appeal to him, but his mentality of not seeking merit but seeking no faults was perfectly grasped by Zhang Hanqing. This title may have the effect of "buying bones for a thousand dollars", right?
"Thank you Marshal for your favor. If Huang doesn't listen respectfully, he doesn't know how to praise you!" He made up his mind to advance and retreat together with the People's Party. With Huang Jinrong's promise, Zhang Hanqing believes that the overall situation of eradicating gangsters can be guaranteed. A prestigious gang boss personally responsible for eradicating gangsters should be more effective than anything else, right?
But Zhang Hanqing’s thoughts were far from that.
These people are all heroes created by the current situation, and they are only deviated because of their different paths. However, their organizational and publicity abilities cannot be overshadowed, otherwise they would not be able to make such a big name in Shanghai.
After the May 30th Incident, the People's Party has successfully made full progress in politics, economy and military.?Revealing your hands and feet, if you can take these people for your own use again, it will shock all the dark sides mentally and achieve the purpose of using barbarians to control barbarians.
Because their network of connections is astonishingly large, their influence in China is also astonishing. If even they surrender, who in the world would dare to stroke the beard of the People’s Party? So he spared no effort to persuade the three people to join the government.
"The three of them are all outstanding men. They should know that being a knight-errant is not a lifelong job. How can you stay in Liangshan for a long time? Once recruited, you will not only stand out, but also honor your ancestors and honor your family. There are many jobs in the People's Government that require people with specific abilities. Yes, we are waiting for you. Mr. Huang joins the council to bring some good things to the forefront. If Brother Du and Brother Wang are interested, they can do me a favor, okay?"
Both of them were a little moved. With the stability of the People's Party's regime, party organizations and governments at all levels are gradually improving, and Shanghai Beach is under effective management. Due to the rapid development of industry, infrastructure, trade and other industries, job opportunities for ordinary people are relatively abundant, resulting in a lack of successors for the development of gang members.
And because of the stability of the market and the nationwide drug and smoking ban, traditional "protection fees" and money-making opportunities have been severely restricted, resulting in less and less room for gangs to survive.
If things go on like this, it is natural for gangs to wither away. What’s more, the People’s Party has resorted to suppressing gangs? Anyone in Shanghai who has experienced the May 30th Incident knows Zhang Hanqing’s toughness when making up his mind? He dared to order a direct bombardment of a huge British cruiser. How could a ragtag group of Green Gang members compete with the iron fist of the people's power?
So Du Yuesheng said sincerely: "Young Marshal, I, Du, have been hanging out in gangs since I debuted. I have no other skills. Although I am loyal to the government, I don't know what the government wants me to do. What if Young Marshal But if you ask for anything, Du will definitely do it—Qinggang disciples, all Du’s subordinates, I advise them to quit, if any problems arise, they are all Du’s fault.”
Wang Yaqiao also said: "I, Wang Yaqiao, have nothing but killing. With the young marshal's current status, what else do you need a warrior like me for? But if the young marshal really wants something, if I, Wang Yaqiao, frown, Not considered a hero! Of course, there is no need for the Ax Gang to exist."
The two said they were bachelors. Zhang Hanqing had decided to eliminate the gang, which was a good thing for the country and the people. They had no room for objection, as long as their subordinates could be properly placed. Since Zhang Hanqing said there is a way and it is feasible, that is enough.
For Zhang Hanqing, if the gang organization can be properly disbanded smoothly, it will be of epoch-making significance. It's okay to have some ideas on them, but it feels a bit unfair, but fortunately, careful plans have been made.
Seeing the two men looking at him with a bachelor look, Zhang Hanqing laughed dumbly and said: "My two brothers think too darkly of me. I am not worried that the government cannot eliminate gangs, nor do I need to kill people or set fires. Just because you and the People's Party The relationship between us is very deep. I respect the talents of both of you, and I don’t want to accidentally hurt a good person. Haha!
Brother Du has been in Shanghai for many years and has a distinguished reputation, respected by all religions and schools. I plan to appoint Brother Du as the Director of the Shanghai Provincial Police to contribute to the long-term peace and stability of Shanghai. Brother Du and Mr. Huang will work together on the gang, I think it will be smooth and orderly.
Brother Jiuguang is courageous, knowledgeable, and alert. He is truly an outstanding figure on the underground front. The Ministry of National Security has added a new Central and South Bureau, and plans to appoint Brother Jiuguang as the director to be responsible for intelligence work in Nanyang, India and Myanmar. "
This background was tailor-made for them by Zhang Hanqing. Du Yuesheng has a high status in the Shanghai gangs. If he is appointed as the police chief, he is using his strengths to attack conflicts. I think with the support of the people's power and his connections, the security of Shanghai Beach will definitely reach a new level. steps. Not for others, but for his own good reputation, he would do his best to cooperate with Zhang Hanqing's work of eliminating the four pests.
“Wang Yaqiao is a born spy, and there is no soil for him to develop in China. He can go to the Indochina Peninsula, which has deep connections with China, to use his expertise and seek national interests for China there. According to the development of history, it is destined not to be peaceful there, and there is a lot of work to be done.
Both of them were surprised, and both felt that the young marshal's accuracy in judging and employing people was incredible, and they were even more moved by his eclectic way of employing people. Du Yuesheng was surprised and said: "Young Marshal, I am the leader of a gang. Is it too bold to ask me to be the police chief? Are you not afraid of me"
Zhang Hanqing immediately interrupted him and said: "Don't worry about people who are suspicious of you. Don't be suspicious of people who are employed. I only look at the future!"
Du Yuesheng immediately stood up and said: "The young marshal said this, Du dares to disobey his orders! He will definitely live up to the young marshal's trust!"
The People's Government's suppression of gangs has little impact on him personally, but there are always some new and old friends who will be targeted. Now that I am the person in charge of front-line execution, there are always opportunities for these people to change their ways like him, or to become workers of the country. What a blessing this is!
Wang Yaqiao also stood up and said: "I didn't expect that I, Wang Yaqiao, had been doing things in the dark for half my life, and now I can do something for the country. Life is like this, what more can I ask for! Thank you, Marshal, for your kindness!" (Remember the website address of this website! : www.hlnovel.com)?Ah!
Wang Yaqiao also stood up and said: "I didn't expect that I, Wang Yaqiao, had been doing things in the dark for half my life, and now I can do something for the country. Life is like this, what more can I ask for! Thank you young marshal for your kindness!" (Remember the website address of this site! :www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 985 Returning Carnage
After successfully subduing these two people, Zhang Hanqing revealed his trump card: "There is another thing that requires the help of the two brothers. This is also beneficial to the country and the people, but it is not convenient for me to do it."
Du Yuesheng and Wang Yaqiao looked at each other with expressions of "It must be like this". The good young marshal gave them this background without asking for anything in return. He always respected loyalty like them, so how could he be willing to accept it for nothing? What Zhang Hanqing said was exactly what he wanted. And since he said it is beneficial to the country and the people, it must be true.
They all clapped their chests in unison and said, "You will obey everything the young commander orders!"
Zhang Hanqing smiled slightly and said: "I hope that after you take office, you will find out all the sources of overseas funds of the Kuomintang and cut them off at the source. You should know that some Kuomintang members played a role in the last congressional election and the Juliuhe Incident. Role.
A nation of justice has taken shape. I hope that all participating political parties can use their true nature of "asking for the people" to benefit the people and use upright competition to play a role in the country's civil construction instead of accepting overseas funding. , controlled by others! "
Previously, the Kuomintang took advantage of the opportunity to conduct a thorough investigation of "black money" to cut off the "Jiang-Zhejiang Consortium" on which the Kuomintang relied. As expected, the Kuomintang was severely defeated in the subsequent elections. Not only has his influence in Congress been greatly reduced, but the top leadership of his party has also experienced major turmoil.
The direct consequence is that the Kuomintang’s propaganda ability at the grassroots level has been much weaker. There is even a motion within the party to allow Kuomintang members to join the People’s Party.
The reason is that some people believe that since the two parties are guided by the "three dishes and cooking righteousness", and the great victory of the People's Party also shows that its path is correct, effective, and in line with China's development, if the Kuomintang does not seek What reason does it have to continue to survive in the future despite changes and innovations? Why do Chinese people still accept such a useless organization like the Kuomintang?
This argument is very popular, and at least it has the support of the leftists headed by Deng Yanda.
Because of Liao Zhongkai's concession and Wang Jingwei's failure, the "Troika" of the Kuomintang gave Hu Hanmin the power to dominate. While he served in the government and served as the governor of Shanghai Province, he worked in the Kuomintang's favour. To rescue the former overseas donors, we must use overseas funds to maintain the KMT's former advantages in the coastal and southern areas.
Deng Yanda was very dissatisfied with the behavior of some Kuomintang members who continued to challenge the People's Party.
The People’s Party had previously launched a fierce counterattack against the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium’s toughness, causing a major turmoil within the party. Now that the country has stabilized and the legitimacy of the People's Party's governance has been recognized, the Kuomintang once again focuses its energy on provoking disputes instead of focusing on the development of the national economy and people's livelihood like the People's Party. The pattern is now clear.
Through observation and research on the People’s Party, he felt that the People’s Party has increasingly formed an overwhelming advantage over the Kuomintang in terms of the status of the ruling party, its contribution to the country, its influence on the people, and the superiority of its policies. Especially during the Korean War, he was particularly moved by the People's Army's spirit of sacrificing life and death for the nation and its efforts to make the bullied Chinese nation proud.
“He believes that the People’s Party has better interpreted Sun Yat-sen’s Three Principles of the People in a new organizational method. This kind of competition between the two parties is not only unhelpful to the country, but also runs counter to the spirit of carrying forward the Three People’s Principles. Under the banner of San Pan Bo Yi, if the Kuomintang can abandon its sectarianism and take the initiative to merge with the People's Party, it will be of considerable positive value to China's future.
But the People's Party is already the ruling party and leads the country's revolutionary cause. Some KMT politicians are afraid that they will lose their current status after the merger - this is undoubtedly true. Therefore, not only the powerful faction headed by Hu Hanmin opposed it, but also the newly promoted official Kong Xiangxi also disagreed. Although Liao Zhongkai was intentional, he hesitated in this situation. Deng Yanda expressed his distress about this.
Zhang Hanqing attaches great importance to this person: no matter in terms of loyalty to the revolution or personal ability, he is the leading talent of this era.
His strength of personality also attracted the hearts of both enemies and friends. In official history, Mao Zedong said in his conversation with Zhou Gucheng: "Mr. Deng Yanda is a very good person. I like him very much."
And Chiang Kai-shek, who personally ordered his death, once answered when asked who could replace him: "The person who can replace me has been shot by me." The reason was that he was afraid of Deng Yanda's extraordinary ability.
The collision of various ideas within the Kuomintang was inevitably detected by the Kuomintang. Zhang Hanqing not only expressed his willingness to see the results, but also had a more profound idea: Why not take the opportunity to completely defeat the Kuomintang at this time and let the Kuomintang become the authentic one? Where is the only successor of Sanmanzhiyi?
If Deng Yanda can be brought under his command, he will not only be able to use his personal influence to split the Kuomintang, but also lay a solid foundation for the development of the Kuomintang theory!
No one else can see you? It can be seen that he himself knows that the banner of Sanpanzhuyi lacks theoretical support. His various theories, slogans, and policies are actually nothing more than what he learned from textbooks in middle school in later generations.
It is correct to transform these things into large-scale ones. After all, they have gone through decades of development and have frightened the world. Including Sun Yat-sen, they have doubted what his Sanpanzhuyi is on more than one occasion:
The name and the party constitution are completely different, but they are somewhat similar to the socialist theory of the Soviet Union at the same time;
He proposed and practiced the "separation of three powers", which is qualitatively different from his own separation of five powers;
When it comes to connecting theory with China’s reality, Zhang Hanqing’s stuff is too miraculous. His party propagandist Chen Brai praised it as “enriching and developing the theory of Sanpanziyi”. But even Sun Yat-sen himself knows that his theory of Sanpan Boiling is always changing, and even he himself does not fully understand how Sanpan Boiling is done.
But if you ask him to "innovate and develop theories," he will not have enough in his stomach. Agricultural cooperatives, reform and opening up, the combination of coordinated economy and market economy, Five Represents How to turn these things into theoretical things and then turn them into a complete philosophical system? This is difficult for others to do.
Chen Brai can’t do it either. His specialty lies in publicity and planning, not theoretical research. Looking within the party, there are many people who can follow him in the revolution, but not many writers. If Deng Yanda can be brought in, it will definitely be helpful. In terms of theoretical creation, Liao Zhongkai is very good. Doing so would also disgust the Kuomintang and completely cut off its financial resources.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of cracking down on organized crime, he will use Du Yuesheng's power in Shanghai to root out the KMT-dependent forces in East China, and use Wang Yaqiao to cut off the overseas capital chain in Nanyang. In this way, the Kuomintang, which is beleaguered internally and externally, will only become weaker, and the People's Party's position in Congress will become more stable.
No one would have thought that he would fight back during the Korean War and the Shanghai War. This game of chess was a big one. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 986 Good friends of the People’s Party
Even the people within the People's Party did not understand Zhang Hanqing's actions at first. It was not until a large-scale incident of members quitting the party within the Kuomintang that they truly realized that the young marshal was not only superb at political strategy, but also first-rate in conspiracy. The Beiyang factions and the Kuomintang were defeated by him one after another, and they were not unjust at all.
Liao Zhongkai is in favor of the Kuomintang's proposal to join the People's Party in his own name. In his view, cooperation between the two parties is Sun Yat-sen's political testament. It does not violate principles in itself, and it is the best way out and a necessary step to maintain the survival and growth of the Kuomintang. With the current momentum, the next congressional election will be more difficult. Whether the Kuomintang as a political party can survive is in a dilemma.
Especially after Du Yuesheng took office as the director of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, he had a hundred ways to cut off the Kuomintang's overseas capital chain. Then several loyal party wealth lords in Nanyang mysteriously severed ties with the country. All this made Feng Yu The drifting Kuomintang made matters worse.
In this way, both Hu Hanmin and Kong Xiangxi are still holding on. Hu Hanmin was worried that the hard-won party chairmanship would become unknown after the merger, so Kong Xiangxi simply resolutely rejected this move by the left. He had gained his position within the party through betrayal, and he couldn't let it go no matter what.
The Kuomintang once again fell into a split situation. The difference was that Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing were there at that time, so there was no problem for its comeback, and there was a rebirth like a phoenix rising from the ashes. No one in the party now has their prestige, and there are inevitable rifts between them.
Hu Hanmin’s faction accused Liao Zhongkai of wanting to ruin the Kuomintang. Liao Zhongkai believed that he was executing Sun Yat-sen’s will. Kong Xiangxi strongly supported Hu Hanmin, so Liao Zhongkai questioned his qualifications.
When the quarrel broke out, an extreme Kuomintang member killed Liao Zhongkai with a gun. This man was called Chiang Kai-shek! No one knows the extent of Zhang Hanqing’s psychological fluctuations after hearing the news. This world is really too evil!
There is a good reason why Chiang Kai-shek was so ruthless: due to a strange combination of circumstances, he failed to catch up with Sun Yat-sen after his defeat in Guangdong, thus losing the opportunity to be reused by Sun Yat-sen. After Sun arrived in Shanghai, he immediately became the main military figure of the Kuomintang army in Shanghai as there was no general in Shu, and his official rank was promoted to colonel - just a colonel.
Then a series of changes affected his emergence in Chinese politics. Until Sun Yat-sen's death, he failed to enter the center of the Kuomintang. During the first congressional election, the Kuomintang suddenly fell into internal strife under a good situation. At that time, he believed that Liao Zhongkai and Hu Hanmin were traitors to Sun Yat-sen.
This time, under extremely unfavorable conditions, Liao Zhongkai wants to "split" the Kuomintang again, which is intolerable! Impulsive and blindly obedient to the revolution, Chiang Kai-shek could no longer bear it and took action.
The incident occurred and public opinion was in an uproar. A member of the Kuomintang killed one of the leaders of the Kuomintang. How should this battle be judged? After hearing the news, Zhang Hanqing expressed condolences to Liao Zhongkai's family and called for severe punishment of the murderer.
Politicians from all parties condemned this incident with one voice. When the country has gradually moved toward legalization, no one will be tolerated to personally attack politicians for any reason, because this is a step backwards!
On the contrary, within the Kuomintang, many people praised Chiang's behavior, thinking it was a bloody performance, and expressed on some occasions that Liao Zhongkai took the blame on himself.
This made Deng Yanda very angry. He believed that today's Kuomintang has degenerated into a shameless, devoid of political ethics, short-sighted and extreme group. It has become a tool for private individuals to maintain their existing interests and has lost the idea of ??"the world is for the public" proposed by Sun Yat-sen. purpose.
This further intensified his idea of ??leaving the Kuomintang. At this time, Zhang Hanqing threw an olive branch to him. He personally met with Liao Zhongkai and told him that as long as he joined the People's Party, he would choose the deputy prime minister, deputy party minister of the Central Organization Department or deputy director of the political department. Not only that, he also promised that in the next intra-party election, these positions can be mentioned on the current basis.
This temptation is not small. In fact, although the deputy prime minister has the same level as the vice president of the country, since the deputy prime minister is basically a member of the Political Bureau concurrently, the difference in power is not the same. This position itself is not small, and then mention it. What the hell is that?
The Minister of Organization of the Central Committee of the People's Party is an official who "manages officials" and cannot be held by anyone who is not a close associate of the Party Chairman. For example, the current Minister Mo Dehui is an old friend of Zhang Hanqing when he started out. Zhang Hanqing's willingness to use this position to "seduce" him showed that he valued him.
The director of the Political Department is in charge of ideological and political work in the army, and naturally has the power to decide on the appointment and removal of senior generals in the army, and his influence is on another level. Considering that the people's power is obtained from the barrel of a gun, this promise is a great trust.
But Deng Yan?Neither agrees. He believed that joining the People's Party and gaining high office was an insult to his beliefs and betrayed his original intention of working together between the two parties. Although he is not satisfied with the Kuomintang now, he does not want to attract criticism because of it. He proposed to Zhang Hanqing that he was willing to join the Kuomintang while retaining his status as a member of the Kuomintang, and to do more for the theoretical research of San Pan Zhuyi, so as to avoid the political whirlpool.
This is exactly what Zhang Hanqing wants.
Chen Brei, Minister of Propaganda, Director of the Central Policy Research Office, and Editor-in-chief of the People's Party newspaper, has a heavy burden. I have been trying to relieve him of the pressure, but there has never been anyone skilled in party affairs to take over. Having someone take over a boring and convoluted political theory, and who is also very politically capable, will provide long-term theoretical guidance for the practice of the People's Party, which is a good thing that will last forever.
So he personally acted as the introducer of Deng Yanda to join the party, and later appointed him as the director of the Central Policy Research Office of the People's Party, with a salary of deputy national level and reporting directly to him.
This caused a stir within the Kuomintang. Because of Deng Yanda, many people on the left joined the People's Party following his example. Also because there were no constraints from the left, Hu Hanmin and others were able to calmly propose a motion asking the Kuomintang Central Standing Committee to vote to expel Deng Yanda from the party and to require members who had joined the People's Party to withdraw from the party within a time limit.
The crisis within the party has reached such an extent, and several factions are still fighting among themselves, which makes Deng Yanda and others very chilling. On the eve of the plenary session of the Kuomintang Central Standing Committee, he submitted a statement to the Kuomintang Central Committee to withdraw from the party:
"Dear my former comrades, today I must and have submitted an application to withdraw from the party in my own name to the Party Central Committee. This makes me very sad. In the three years since the death of Premier Sun, I want to I left this party that I once had to fight for my whole life, but I had to leave.
Former Vice Chairman | Chairman Liao Zhongkai was brutally murdered because he followed Mr. Sun's orders to join forces with the People's Party. "Unite Russia and join forces" was the final policy decided by Mr. Sun after a trial. Mr. Liao was only loyal. Just a practitioner. His murder was a counterattack by a group of forces in the party who tried to violate Mr. Sun's will to retain their power. They thought they could sit back and relax!
However, it has become an unconcealable fact that the Chinese Kuomintang has long lost its status as a revolutionary group. Those who destroy the Kuomintang are not enemies outside the party, but leaders within the party. Yesterday, Vice Chairman Liao died unjustly. Today, a group of followers and I will be humiliated and asked to quit the party. We are of the same revolutionary lineage, so why worry about fighting each other!
Fortunately, those who hold high the banner of "Three Dishes and Cooking Righteousness" are still there, and the achievements of the People's Party in pursuing the "Three Dishes and Cooking Righteousness" have attracted worldwide attention. Practice has proved that this is an outstanding political party that truly implements the theory of Sanpanzhiyi. The conclusion reached by Mr. Sun with his foresight and sagacity is extremely correct. Now that the Kuomintang has deviated from Mr. Sun's ideals and the People's Party can carry this banner, why should I, Deng Yanda, not unite under this banner to make real contributions to the country and the nation?
From now on, I declare to withdraw from the Kuomintang, join the ranks of the glorious People's Party, and continue to contribute my meager efforts to the spread of San Pan Bo Yi theory in China. Mr. Sun is very knowledgeable, so he should rest in peace because we can continue his unfinished business, right? When I see Mr. Sun again in the future, I can proudly report to him: 'I have struggled my whole life to realize his ideal of Sanban cooking.' This is what I will definitely be able to do.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A gentleman's friendship shall be kept in peace, and there shall be no evil words. I still hope that all comrades will not forget their original aspirations, let us work together and strive to realize the ideal of world harmony! "
Although the leftist forces headed by Song Qingling strongly tried to retain him and angrily criticized the separatists at the Central Standing Committee meeting, the Kuomintang still passed the expulsion of Deng Yanda by a majority vote. It's just that this conclusion has no effect on him, because at this time he has already made a shining debut on the Central Committee of the People's Party.
Although many members of the People's Party were very puzzled by Zhang Hanqing's high regard for Deng Yanda, they all expressed a warm welcome to Deng Yanda's arrival, thinking that all the people Zhang Hanqing recruited must be talents.
Deng Yanda lived up to his expectations. In the process of getting acquainted with Zhang Hanqing, he continued to understand Zhang Hanqing's ideas, ideas, policies and state governance strategies. Combined with a series of experience summaries, he gradually formed the theory of Sanpan cooking with Chinese characteristics. From relying solely on Zhang Hanqing's whim to using a relatively mature theory to guide China's development and enriching this theory during development, China has a long-term guarantee for its governing ideology.
Zhang Hanqing tried his best to achieve the result, but the Kuomintang people helped him achieve it. He is really a good friend of the Kuomintang!
In response, Kuomintang veteran Yu Youren angrily said: "The cadres trained by the Kuomintang with both political integrity and talent were driven away by the Kuomintang's own internal strife. Since Deng Yanda, there has been no one capable of shouldering the heavy burden of the Kuomintang. In the long run, It is inevitable that the Kuomintang will fall from being the second largest party in Congress. Whether it can continue to attract followers is a big question mark! In this generation, we really don’t want to see the Kuomintang fall with our own eyes!" (Remember Website address: www.hlnovel.com)Those who follow, have to put a big question mark! In this generation, we really don’t want to see the Kuomintang fall with our own eyes! "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 987 The Sheng family’s decision
The words became a prophecy. In the subsequent second parliamentary election, because the People's Party achieved commendable achievements on all political, economic and diplomatic fronts, especially its huge victory in the war against Japan, this The glory of the national humiliation of Zhong Yixue for decades has made it a superstitious existence in the hearts of the people across the country.
This has turned into respect, admiration, and trust for the People's Party, making this session of Congress a special event for the People's Party. It has gained an absolute advantage in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as in various committees.
During the same period, due to the withering of talents and internal strife in the Kuomintang, it actually fell to the point where it had one fewer vote than the original small party like the Chinese Women's Alliance!
The worst thing is that this Congress has been officially defined as one of the five political parties in China by the dominant People's Party. It has since lost the possibility of competing with the People's Party for a short period of time.
This is something.
Of course, Zhang Hanqing went to Shanghai again this time. In addition to escaping Ada's human bomb attack and fundamentally solving the existing problems of the Kuomintang, he really had other important things to attend to.
The affairs of the Sheng family.
Since Mrs. Zhuang, who presided over the Sheng family, died of illness in September last year, the descendants of the Sheng family have been fighting for the inheritance. According to the official history, the three sons of the Sheng family, the fourth son Sheng Enyi, the fifth son Sheng Chongyi, and the seventh son Sheng Shengyi, tried their best to own the Yizhuang property, excluding the seven and eight young ladies who were still in the boudoir. .
Historically, because of this incident, a lot of feminists showed their talents. Song Ailing and Song Qingling both supported Sheng Aiyi in her lawsuit, and finally succeeded in getting her equal inheritance rights, writing a memorable chapter in the cause of women's liberation in China. From then on, women had the same legal rights as men for the first time.
Now, when it comes to Sheng Aiyi and Zhang Hanqing, we have to worry about Sheng Aiyi's thoughts. You know, precisely because of her existence, the Sheng family not only did not decline at this time, but instead allowed the Sheng family to monopolize Hanzhiping Company, and brought Jiangnan Shipyard and Baosteel Group, two huge economic entities, under its control, and became a A family that makes all the difference in Shanghai.
However, with the passing of Mrs. Zhuang, the descendants of the Sheng family can no longer be united. Facing the huge family property, the ugliest part of human nature will inevitably emerge. Family separation is inevitable. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to the entire family. All are disasters.
However, before her death, Mrs. Zhuang left a will that forbade the division of the family and handed over the power of the family to Sheng Aiyi; she also said that if the family was divided, the seventh and eighth ladies would receive the same inheritance rights.
At that time, due to the authority of Zhang Hanqing and the reason of loving the house and the crow, the Sheng brothers agreed to Mrs. Zhuang's will, and the seventh and eighth ladies received equal inheritance rights. This incident was once listed as the first successful example of the feminist movement in the Republic of China.
But a year later, the three young masters still decided to separate the family. They believed that Mrs. Zhuang’s will was invalid and the equity of the Sheng family needed to be in the hands of the three brothers. As expected, the incident followed the inertia of history, but the slight difference was that this time they were concerned about Sheng Aiyi's existence and thoughts.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Just think about it. They believe that with the young commander here, Sheng Aiyi's future life will definitely not be a problem, as long as the three brothers jointly pay a heavy dowry by then. As for Miss Eighth's thoughts, they don't need to think too much about it.
Sheng Aiyi firmly said no to the three brothers’ decision. She disagreed with the decision to separate the family based on her mother's will.
But for the three brothers who are deeply influenced by patriarchal consciousness and have endured Mrs. Zhuang's "suppression" for many years, how can they tolerate another woman sitting on their heads after her death? So we must separate firmly.
Sheng Aiyi had no choice but to file a lawsuit with the Shanghai Intermediate People's Court, demanding that Mrs. Zhuang's will be recognized and that the five brothers and sisters should share the inheritance equally when the incident was unstoppable.
This approach caused an outcry from the outside world. Whether Mrs. Zhuang's will is valid or not is the focus of this incident. As the actual head of the Sheng family, if her decision is approved, the three brothers' decision to separate the family will naturally be invalid. However, the three brothers of the Sheng family insisted that Mrs. Zhuang was only the supervisor of the family and had no right to distribute property. The only ones who could really take charge of this matter were the three men of the Sheng family, that is, the three brothers.
In addition, the new "Civil Code" has been announced, and the idea of ??equal rights for men and women has been effectively reflected in it. The two young ladies of the Sheng family should also have the same inheritance rights. As we all know, this law was completed with the firm support of the young marshal. Many people wanted to take this opportunity to cause trouble, and many awakened women also regarded this incident as a watershed between women's imprisonment and liberation.
There was once a book that advocated the feminist movement, "The Female World Bell", which strongly attacked foot binding and required Chinese women to "cut their hair, read books, and participate in politics." This gave birth to the foundation of China's first type of goddess: women with big feet who can speak foreign languages.
However, in this traditional male-dominated society, there is no role for men.When I was at home, the gold flowed out like running water without blinking an eye. They were doing great things! To put it bluntly, the entire Republic of China belongs to him! "
The rough words are not rough, and there are almost no one to doubt Zhang Hanqing's wealth, and the topic of the discussion is that the Zhang family contributes to the rise of the Republic of China.
“If he hadn’t devoted all his energy to politics, Zhang Hanqing would have had enough strength to become the richest man in China with the original 600 tons of gold. This fact will not change in decades. In comparison, even though the Sheng family is rich, it is not worth mentioning in front of him, not to mention that he controls a powerful state machine?
However, for the two ladies of the Sheng family, they cannot be compared with Zhang Hanqing. In Shanghai, their right to speak is much inferior to that of their elder brothers. The balance of victory and defeat has tipped towards each other, and the only one who can help is Zhang Hanqing. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 988 The great victory of the feminist movement
Newspapers are a very interesting thing. When faced with the strong, they are weak, and when faced with the weak, they are strong. Shanghai is the city with the most newspapers in the country, including regular broadsheets such as "Shen Shen" and "News", as well as gossip tabloids such as "Jing Bao" and "Robin Hood". In the Republic of China, which was open-minded but conservative in its thinking, the effect of "people's words are fearful" was extremely terrifying.
The news that Zhang Hanqing came to Shanghai to support Sheng Aiyi disappeared. There is still a market for spreading such gossip among the people. The people of Shanghai already know Zhang Hanqing very well, but what is more important is his toughness and coldness when facing the great powers. What kind of mentality would he have in response to the internal strife in the Sheng family?
It is well known that his relationship with Sheng Aiyi has seriously violated the terms of the New Marriage Law. The law promulgated the year before the Republic of China clearly stipulated monogamy. If a man really falls in love with another woman, he can divorce his original wife, but he cannot get married without divorce, otherwise he will be guilty of bigamy.
It is because of this law that after Yu Yifan, the relationship between Zhang Hanqing and Liang Qingzhu, Wanrong, Song Meiling, Sheng Aiyi and even Ruan Lingyu could only maintain the most intimate state and could not go any further. Fortunately, these women are not women who need a marriage contract to protect them. Under Zhang Hanqing's careful training, they each have their own careers.
Except Sheng Aiyi.
“He came to Shanghai this time not only for the political layout of the post-Kuomintang era, but also wanted to do something for his woman.
Among the three brothers of the Sheng family, the fourth eldest, Sheng Enyi, had personal experience in Wuhan about his virtues;
Although Lao Qisheng Shengyi has a similar resemblance to his former self, that is in private. It is okay to play with the football team with his fun personality, but he is too important to hold a large share of the Sheng family;
As for Sheng Zhongyi, I have never dealt with him personally, but the evaluation from the Joint Technical Committee of the Ministry of National Defense was not very good. Fortunately, although he was a dandy, he did not interfere with the specific operations of Jiangnan Shipyard, so the central government had no idea of ????changing generals for the time being.
Although the Sheng family is listed as the owner of Jiangnan Shipyard, it is the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) under the State Council that really controls the majority of the shares. In addition, the General Armament Department of the Central Military Commission and the Military-Civilian Joint Technology under the Ministry of National Defense The committees are also responsible for military technology retention, technology safety, and technology review respectively.
This is the huge property Zhang Hanqing earned for the country through his own efforts. With them, the country can have strong constraints on various industries, integrate resources to the maximum extent, and drive various industries to act according to their own plans. Only when the national economy, people's livelihood and the country's lifeline are in our hands can we calmly lay out the development plan for the country and face the pressure of foreign powers.
From a national perspective, the central government still has great control over the country. But from this corner of eastern China, especially in Shanghai, the People's Party's influence is not enough. In addition to the clever diplomatic and economic wars fought on May 30, the people have not yet fully accepted the leadership of the People's Party ideologically, otherwise there would not have been a congressional crisis later.
The anti-crime campaign in Shanghai and the poaching of the Kuomintang are a means to weaken the Kuomintang's foundation. However, to eliminate the Kuomintang's evil, we must start from the root cause. Getting the people to accept and understand the policies and regulations is a hard way.
From a small point of view, this is just a private matter of the Sheng family, but from a big picture point of view, this is another touchstone for the country to implement the new marriage law. When public opinion can guide the people in a positive direction according to the country's ideas, and when people truly understand and respect the authority of national laws and regulations, can it be considered a victory in the ideological field.
The purpose of the People's Party is not only to liberate the country, but also to lift the three mountains that weigh on people: imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism. Women's liberation is the most powerful and direct symbol of the elimination of feudal ideas.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing wanted to stand up for Sheng Aiyi. Especially after learning about Mrs. Zhuang's will, he had the urge to fight for the rights of his woman. As for the Sheng family's wealth, he really doesn't care about it.
The uproar in the outside world is actually a reflection of the various thoughts in the Sheng family compound. To be honest, Sheng Aiyi didn't care about the ownership of these properties, but her mother's instructions to her brothers and sisters before she died were always in her heart.
"On the surface, our Sheng family looks like a blazing fire, but in fact we are facing various life and death tests. With the help of the fourth child, can we defend Han Yeping and Baosteel? (Sheng Enyi expressed his shame) With the fifth child Can his ability cover such a large Jiangnan Shipyard? (Sheng Zhongyi dared not speak) With Lao Qi playing good football, can Sheng Sheng continue to prosper? (Sheng Shengyi rarely blushed)
In Shanghai, the Sheng and Song families seem to be as close as one family, but in fact competition is going on all the time. Back then, the mother of the three sisters from the Song family worked as a maid in our family, and their family was trying to get it back. They? They are all professionals! They can't even hide a copper!
“Contrary to the dismay of the three brothers, women’s groups in Shanghai celebrated the historic significance of the case. Because the distant Soviet Union set the world's first women's day on March 8th, under Zhang Hanqing's promotion, the government of the Republic of China decided to add a holiday specifically for women, and "March 8th Women's Day" was born!
Politically, the People's Party already has a female Politburo member, United Front Minister and Senator Han Shuxiu; economically, women have already taken the lead in the Northeast to achieve equal pay for equal work, and now the inheritance rights of inheritance have been clarified; in education, coeducation and coeducation have been realized. Although there is still a long way to go before we can completely eliminate gender discrimination in ideology with the opportunity of compulsory education, it is a good start after all.
This is a great victory. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 989 Five Phases Meeting
For Zhang Hanqing, women’s liberation, including ideological conversion, is very important but a long-term task. The most urgent thing is how to consolidate national defense, especially to eliminate the threat from Japan.
In the previous stage, the army, air force, navy and defense forces all performed outstandingly, making Zhang Hanqing deeply satisfied with the current war capabilities of the People's Army. However, the Japanese, who have been hurt by the beating, are still a powerful force. Its combined fleet is wandering around the coast of China like a ghost, waiting for an opportunity to take a bite at any time, and there must be no relaxation.
Fortunately, several battles have tempered the People's Army's response capabilities, and a steady stream of military equipment is also moving towards the front line. Shore artillery and heavy howitzers are gathering along the coasts of southeast, east and north China, and the air force is also rapidly forming new combat forces. These are all guarantees for China to carry out a protracted war and even be able to launch a decisive battle head-on.
"The heated public sentiment in China and its uncompromising will to fight have attracted the attention of the outside world.
For the Japanese military, although they have the mobility to threaten China's coast, they must always be prepared for sneak attacks from the Chinese Air Force on their country. The victory in attacking Chinese cities was totally not worth the pressure of defending the country. If there is another domestic attack, the navy and air force generals will never redeem themselves.
Therefore, the combined fleet was transferred to the Yellow Sea and East Japan Sea to prepare for possible sneak attacks by the Chinese Air Force. This has achieved domestic security, but it has also greatly limited the navy's combat capabilities. The landing fleet alone cannot achieve the purpose of land attack in China. Especially after China's submarine force leaves the Yangtze Estuary, the threat is even greater.
"The Japanese army in Korea was completely suppressed by the People's Army, and there was no hope of victory." Continuous brutal wars have caused problems in Japan's logistics and personnel supply.
On the contrary, the Korean People's Army on the opposite side has more fighting spirit and better equipment than before. It is said that three additional armored divisions are already making final preparations before entering the court. This is fatal news for the War Department.
Needless to say, the news came from Liao Yaquan.
From the base camp’s point of view, as a secret agent following the young marshal, she had already obtained enough information from Zhang Hanqing. Although the "Dance on the Edge of the Knife" plan was not finally detected, it's no wonder she was there. After all, time was short and it would take time to gain Zhang Hanqing's trust.
The series of disastrous defeats caused an uproar in Japan, and the government was under tremendous pressure, so much so that the emperor successively convened the prime minister, land minister, maritime minister, foreign minister, and Tibetan minister to discuss the situation in Korea, the so-called Five Prime Minister Meeting.
"I have summoned all cabinet ministers to discuss one topic: Can we win in North Korea? If we can, what should we do? If not, how should we make a decision?"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????] Yes, when the war has reached this point, they themselves have no hope of winning, so how can they fool His Majesty the Emperor?
Tanaka Giichi was the Prime Minister and had to express his position: "Your Majesty, the Korean battlefield cannot be said to be a victory, nor can it be considered a defeat. Through this war, we have estimated the strength of the Chinese people, which is actually of great benefit to our future national policy formulation. . China has a strong army, and the advantage of our empire lies in the sea. Therefore, it is inappropriate to use our own shortcomings to meet the other's strengths. This also allows us to no longer have to argue about whether to 'go north' or 'go south' in the future. Let the empire It’s not a bad thing to plan strategically in advance…”
"Yeah", Emperor Showa nodded. From this aspect, this is also a problem that has troubled him for many years. It is impossible for a country to exercise both sea power and land power. Especially for Japan, limited resources cannot support such two approaches.
"The Prime Minister's words made me suddenly understand. China only used one-fifth of its army to stop us in North Korea. In that case, what would Prime Minister Shirakawa think of insisting on the national policy of going north?"
Shirakawa Yoshinori nodded painfully. Although the War Department still had many staunch advocates of the industrial introduction policy, as the driving force behind the Korean War, he knew the Japanese Army's disastrous defeat in Korea. After China's war capabilities were encouraged, it immediately showed its amazing explosive power and late-mover advantage.
According to various intelligence reports, China’s military industry has a monthly production capacity of 250 aircraft and an annual production capacity of 4,000 large-caliber artillery pieces (including shore guns). The manufacturing of tanks is very tightly controlled, but since crawler tractors have similar industrial capabilities to it, this is a huge number considering China's annual production capacity of 300,000 tractors.
In addition, since the production of automobiles is hundreds of times that of Japan (annual production of 1,000 vehicles), the level of mechanization and motorization of the Chinese Army is steadily improving, and Japan will need to catch up for many years.
This is the gap in industrial capacity and the gap in economic aggregate. After China has completely surpassed Japan in a few years,?Catching up has become very far away…
The Japanese have a strong pragmatic spirit, which can be seen from their large-scale absorption of foreign culture: In ancient times, Japan devoutly absorbed Tang style culture, and then transformed it into its own national Japanese style culture; after the Meiji Restoration, they worked hard to govern and actively absorbed European culture, making their country the only The country that developed modern capitalism in the East.
The pragmatic spirit of the Japanese people has its historical origins. In traditional society, the Japanese attitude of valuing family over blood ties has broken the closed nature of family blood relationships, allowing people to choose family heirs based on moral character and talent standards.
After changing the surname, an adopted son or son-in-law with a different surname can enter the family and inherit the family business. It does not matter whether they are related by blood. On the contrary, if there is no ability and good qualifications to inherit and manage the family property, even a biological son may be deprived of the right to inherit the family property.
This so-called attitude of "warming curtains is more important than family business" is a concrete manifestation of Japanese pragmatism values.
However, the pragmatic values ??of the Japanese have also produced extremely obvious negative effects: Japan's rulers have never learned to use universal moral principles to cultivate people with moral quality. They are always concerned about how to tame the ruled.
Even Shintoism, which has profoundly influenced all aspects of Japanese society, does not have any normative doctrines or moral creeds except for some patchwork witchcraft used in sacrifices. The Japanese, who view the world with a pragmatic attitude, do not admit that there is an independent universal truth or religious belief in this world besides secular values ??such as status and orders from rulers.
The result of the lack of universal principles is that the Japanese have developed a rare ability to observe words and colors. Once the situation changes, the Japanese will immediately adjust themselves like chameleons.
No matter what situation they are in, the Japanese can quickly detect where the power lies. Once they determine where the power lies, they take action. No matter what the situation is, and no matter what the purpose, the Japanese will do whatever they can. For them, strength is justice.
This kind of pragmatic values ??can be logically explained: why "you can quickly give up your original opinions for the sake of practical interests", which is a lack of integrity in the eyes of other nations, but is regarded as "pragmatic" by the Japanese;
Why are the Japanese eager to understand each other not the principles followed by the other party, but the bottom line of the other party's strength and interests? Why do the Japanese rely more on "surface phenomena", such as the other party's nationality, to judge the value of the other party? and decide your own attitude. Historically, Japan suffered two atomic bombs from the United States during World War II, but Japan instead respected the United States and regarded it as its father. This is the reason.
Shirakawa Yoshinori is such a person who is deeply influenced by the Japanese spirit. He is no longer willing to give up "going north", the national policy that the Japanese Army relies on to control the country, and he also knows that now is not the time to drag Japan into the quagmire. A Siberian expedition hindered Japan's development for three years; how long will a bigger China lead Japan into the abyss?
Even the Prime Minister who has always advocated the "life and death line between Mongolia and Mongolia" is no longer optimistic, so why should he jump up and fight for it again? It would also be good for Jier to give up the idea of ??"going north" and win a place for the army in the national policy of "going south".
"Because if the army is defeated again in North Korea, it is very likely that the Chinese army that is pursuing victory will wipe out North Korea. Not only will it lose face, but it will also lose the last chance to compete with the navy.
"The Prime Minister's opinion is correct. After careful consideration, the Ministry of War believes that continuing to adhere to the policy of going north to the country and fighting the powerful Chinese Army is not conducive to the development of the empire. It would be better to go south to the small countries in Nanyang to obtain the resources the empire needs. s Choice."
Navy Minister Okada was very pleased. This is what the Navy Ministry has always insisted on: "Okada admires Shirakawa-kun for being able to consider the overall interests of the empire and give up personal interests. To implement the national policy of going south, the navy also needs the strong cooperation of the army."
??The national policy that has been debated for decades actually succeeded under such circumstances. How could he not be unreasonable? The Army no longer persists, so how can he be willing to flatter the other party and let the other party step down honorably? The person involved knows the outcome of the Korean War best, and he cannot explain it. If the Army is so angry that it insists on a large-scale war in North Korea, they can incite it with their current power.
At this time, the most important thing is to steadily gain the leadership of national policies. Of course, the army needs to "cooperate", which means that the navy is determined to be the main force.
??????The main personnel of the Dazang meeting have reached a unanimous position and have taken advantage of the trend to decide not to be this evil person: "The North Korean War has consumed almost all foreign exchange. If the war continues, the national treasury is in danger of collapse."
Emperor Showa actually had this intention for a long time. The Battle of Kanto State and the ensuing Korean War disrupted Japan's entire formation. Decades of advantages over China have been wiped out, and the country's savings have almost been wiped out. Although the military and government have said how much military aid they have received, their concerns about the current situation can still be heard from their seemingly tough tone.
Seeing that victory is in vain, it is better to end this war with dignity. Seeing that the Japanese Army, which was the main resistance, no longer objected and other cabinet members advocated a ceasefire, he stepped down and said: "Since everyone has said so, then," he looked at Prime Minister Tanaka: "Please, Mr. Tanaka, please end this properly. Let’s have a war.” (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)Not to mention, it almost wiped out the country’s savings. Although the military and government have said how much military aid they have received, their concerns about the current situation can still be heard from their seemingly tough tone.

Chapter 990: Care about family and state affairs
The series of victories in the Korean battlefield have been used by the Propaganda Department of the People's Party and the General Political Department of the People's Army to set off a wave of public opinion in the country in various forms.
The powerful Japanese Empire was defeated by the rising Chinese People's Army. The Chinese Korean Army held back more than half of the Japanese army with only a small number of troops. This also gave Gu Weijun a lot of face in diplomacy, especially in the face of the past. The major powers are exploring China's thoughts on the situation in North Korea in a roundabout way, as well as on the conflict of interests of Europe, the United States and other countries in China.
Zhang Hanqing and others have already discussed this at the meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. As the country became stronger, the idea of ??taking back all the concessions, which many people had wanted to propose but had been unable to implement, began to rise among the people. Think about it, one of the signs of a strong country is that there are no concessions, no public trials, and no unequal treaties.
The idea is good, but Zhang Hanqing vowed not to do it. The issue of Gengzi compensation has been resolved in advance, especially since the beginning of the Korean War (in fact, strictly speaking, it was after the May 30th Incident), which blocked various unreasonable demands of the Japanese government; concessions, except for the "public concession" in Shanghai Hong Kong, which is a British concession, and other concessions have all been "recycled".
Should we take advantage of the great victory to make this request to Britain and the United States? Zhang Hanqing meant to postpone.
First, it is not appropriate to stir up trouble from multiple parties during the war against Japan. Second, with the establishment of the Shanghai High Court, the "public trial" system has ceased to exist in name only. Since one of the requirements for solving the May 30th Incident is that Chinese nationals should be tried by Chinese courts, If an incident involving nationals occurs in the concession, the Shanghai High Court will send personnel to participate in all stages of investigation and trial, and it will have legal sovereignty to a certain extent.
Although the Korean War against Japan is currently a great victory, it will definitely win even if it continues, but post-war economic development requires capital and technological investment from Europe and the United States, especially the United States. It is politically and nationally immature to antagonize them now. Performance.
Because Zhang Hanqing knew clearly that the first large-scale economic crisis in world history was about to happen soon.
The world economic crisis of 1929, in history, while severely damaging the major capitalist countries, enabled the Soviet Union to achieve unprecedented development. The Soviet Union was able to rise from being a large but insignificant entity in a small corner of Europe to becoming the richest man in Europe in just ten years because it seized this opportunity.
Now, whether China can take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to develop by leaps and bounds depends on whether the United States can relax its blockade on China. As we all know, due to overproduction, the United States will have several years during the economic crisis to urgently transfer capital, technology and talents abroad. China needs it.
Comparing the socialist system of the Soviet Union and the deep-seated fear of the Red Empire in the United States and Europe, the China of Sanpanzuiyi is relatively peaceful, and is more easily recognized by the American people in terms of national psychology.
So in the past few years, Zhang Hanqing expressed goodwill to the United States just to foreshadow the future. You see, at this time, I still agree with you to retain the concession in China. Is that interesting enough? Therefore, we have no hostility towards you! This conclusion was clearly explained by him when he met with the ministerial delegation in Shanghai, and he also won praise from the participating countries.
“China maintains goodwill not only towards the United States but also towards all other countries.
Except Japan.
However, when the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially sent a note to the Chinese Minister in Japan, Xu Shiying, hoping to conduct armistice negotiations, Xu Shiying immediately informed the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs of this important news.
China and Japan are fighting so fiercely, but the two countries still have not expelled the ministers of both sides. This can be regarded as the first time in the history of world war. Don't be surprised, because the two countries fought each other without formally declaring war.
Therefore, in theory, the ministers of both parties still enjoy their respective rights: for example, Japan’s Minister to China Shigeru Yoshida temporarily returned to Japan to report on his duties in early November, while Xu Shiying can still enter and leave Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the name of minister in Tokyo, and communicate with other The country's diplomatic missions communicated freely, and the telegram that the 1st Division massacred KPA prisoners of war was sent during this period.
The changes in the Japanese government were quickly detected by Xu Shiying - it may have been deliberately leaked to him through some channels, but it was still a new change.
After receiving a telegram from the embassy in Japan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not dare to take charge, and the news was quickly reported to Zhang Hanqing.
The situation in Shanghai is much better than he imagined before. After wooing the three gangsters Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, and Wang Yaqiao, the operation to eliminate the Four Pests has been carried out in an orderly manner. With the help of powerful dictatorial tools, there was almost no backlash, which also shows that the abilities of these people are really extraordinary.
I originally wanted to take advantage of the Korean armistice to take a good look at domestic political and economic policies. Now it is possible that the situation between China and Japan will ease.Of course he would take it when he could. No matter how stable the front in Korea is, it is built with human lives.
"And after the Kanto Prefecture is liberated and northern Korea is controlled, it will no longer make sense for China to continue fighting.
In addition, the high-intensity war has also hindered the development of the domestic economy.
But how to stop the war deserves serious discussion. Accepting the armistice hastily will only make this war inexplicable. Now that the fight has been fought and is going smoothly, it is necessary to confirm the post-war results in order to maximize China's interests.
The schedule in Shanghai was too urgent. I thought about using my rare free time to do something with Liao Yaquan and the pretty Japanese girl, but in the end nothing was done because under Sheng Aiyi's eyes, everything was The moon is reflected in the flowers and water in the mirror.
Unlike Yu Yifan, Sheng Aiyi regarded Zhang Hanqing's passion as romantic, and could accept his Hu Tian Hu Di's behavior in the relationship between men and women. Once, she even almost agreed to sleep with Liang Qingzhu and the three of them under Zhang Hanqing's deception! But in the end, Liang Qingzhu was shy and it became unfinished business, which he has always regretted.
She is a woman who is both traditional and trendy. She has a modern vision of equality between husband and wife, and can accept the traditional bad habit of polygamy. However, she cannot tolerate Zhang Hanqing and women of unknown origin being "cozy" around her (original words) So), although she currently has no name or status.
At a time when her family was experiencing misfortune, how could Zhang Hanqing do anything to make matters worse? It's just that I can't help but feel itchy. After all, when the situation on the Korean Peninsula may change drastically, I will leave as soon as possible. Of course, the excuse is to preside over military affairs.
This is not a lie. As a promoter of the passive side of the Korean War, how to bring the country to a dignified and peaceful end to this war has historically fallen on his head. Through a battle of wits and courage, he has become recognized by the People's Party as China's top politician, military strategist, and diplomat. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 991 Foresight
Negotiation is actually not difficult. As long as he grasps the established goals, Gu Weijun can completely optimize the results. But before achieving the goal, there are still a series of things to be done. The first thing is the status of central control of North Korea.
Since the five armies maintained order in the rear of North Korea, the North Korean military government quickly took control of administrative matters, making Seoul relatively safer. Zhang Hanqing came here personally because he holds the title of director of the "Special Committee on Korean Affairs". He can not only supervise the military and intervene in the affairs of the Korean People's Army, but also supervise the people and provide administrative management for the three northeastern provinces and northern North Korea. decision.
Although Kim Sam-soon nominally serves as the chairman of the North Korean military government, he cannot make the final decision on major issues, especially regarding the formation of the North Korean Parliament and the High Court. The separation of powers has gradually gained popularity in China, and it has also had an impact on North Korea, especially those North Korean middle- and high-level intellectuals and a group of exiles living in China. They very much hope to establish an independent country with the help of China. .
Zhang Hanqing is here to correct this behavior.
It goes without saying that the strategic position of the Korean Peninsula is important. The famous British geologist Mackinder once said: "Whoever rules Northeast Asia controls the Western Pacific and controls the destiny of Asia."
Countless facts have verified the correctness of this statement. Throughout history, Japan has repeatedly invaded China, always using North Korea as a springboard; and the disturbances on the Korean Peninsula in official history will arouse the sensitive nerves of China, the United States, Japan and Russia.
Zhang Hanqing is not a Wedolph, and he does not have many restrictions. In his view, it can bring benefits to the long-term peace and stability of the country and create a good external environment for China's national strategy. He will definitely do his best to do such things.
??This victory that the Chinese people bought at a huge price cannot be easily withdrawn without a name as in the official history, and then all the credit is completely rejected by some ungrateful sticks, making the situation on the peninsula very passive.
I knew it now, why bother?
China is the suzerain state of North Korea in history and has great favors to North Korea. It is universally recognized that North Korea belongs to the Chinese cultural circle. Looking at the entire history of the Korean nation, almost every nation adjacent to them has ruthlessly conquered them, trampled on their land, and ravaged their people. And there has never been a time when North Korea completely relied on its own strength to defeat the invaders, and there is no record of conquering others.
??The North Korean governments of all dynasties have been standard wallflowers, relying on whoever is powerful, which is the so-called "big deal" policy (in fact, one of the biggest characteristics of North Koreans is that they have no faith at all). Looking back at the signing of the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty in 1910, the Koreans Anshun became subjects of the emperor, changed their Japanese names, and followed the Japanese army in the north and south.
North Korea and Japan face each other across the sea, so every time Japan has the energy, it will teach its little neighbor the principle of "the weak and the strong". As for North Korea's performance in foreign wars, there may be a few small victories tactically, but strategically it has never won a battle until other countries intervened.
For example, the "Battle of Wanli Korea" in Chinese history is also the so-called "Imjin Patriotic War" in Korea, Japan's "Battle of Bunlu" and "Battle of Keichang", etc. Toyotomi Hideyoshi led the army to unify Japan and conquered Korea. However, in March, all eight roads in Korea were lost. If it were not for China’s selfless assistance, Korea would have become a Japanese colony before 1910.
??Looking back further, the majority of North Korean people are Chinese. Starting from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, due to disasters, wars and other reasons, a large number of Chinese immigrants moved into the Korean Peninsula and formed the earliest tribal alliance in the Korean Peninsula.
The "General History of the World", editor-in-chief of the Academy of Social Sciences of the former Soviet Union, described in the relevant part as "the earliest tribal alliance in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, formed by Chinese immigrants in the Changbai Valley In the process of the formation of the Korean state, immigrants from China have always played an important role. function, but the process is Koreanized.”
This view is also generally held by world historians.
The word "Korea" first appears in Chinese classical historical records, which is the place where King Wu of Zhou Dynasty granted Jizi to North Korea in the "Shangshu Da Zhuan". Sima Qian's "Historical Records" also records that Jizi, the brother of Zhou, the last king of the Shang Dynasty, brought the etiquette and systems of the Shang Dynasty to the northern part of the Korean Peninsula after King Wu of Zhou conquered Zhou. It was recognized by North Korea and was known as "Jizi North Korea" in history.
According to the Korean history book "The Legacy of the Three Kingdoms", after Jizi came to North Korea, Tangun's descendants took the people to move south to avoid conflict with the people Jizi brought. These people later became the Three Kingdoms. The ancestor of Han, Jizi Joseon, ruled the Korean Peninsula for nearly a thousand years.
According to the "Genealogy of the Xianyu Family in Taiyuan", the Xianyu family in North Korea originated from the descendants of Jizi North Korea, and starting from Jizi, they experienced a total of 41 generations of monarchs until they were exterminated in the 1st century BC. All of the above are related to various WesternNational history books coincide with each other. It can be seen that the Chinese are one of the ancestors of the Koreans.
The Korean people during the Japanese occupation responded to the entry of Chinese soldiers with a familiarity: how much history has told them that the fate of the great country of China is closely related to North Korea.
Since the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese army has entered the Korean Peninsula on a large scale four times: the first time was when the Tang Dynasty helped Silla unify. At that time, the Korean Peninsula was divided into three kingdoms: Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo. Baekje and Goguryeo, which had good relations with Japan, constantly attacked Silla and blocked Silla's tribute route.
Silla asked the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for rescue, and Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty sent generals such as Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang to the expedition. This is the famous "Xue Rengui's March to the East" in folklore.
The allied forces of Tang and Luo defeated the Japanese pirates, destroyed Baekje and Goguryeo, and completed the unification of the Korean peninsula. Silla culture reached its glorious peak, and produced outstanding Korean writers such as Cui Zhiyuan.
The second time was in the middle of Joseon. In order to realize the national dream of "attacking the Ming Dynasty directly, moving the capital to Beijing, and expedition to Tianzhu", Japan's "Guanbai" Toyotomi Hideyoshi first annexed Korea, which is known as the Imjin War in history.
Before Toyotomi Hideyoshi went to court, the King of Korea said in a letter to him: "China and Korea will treat me as if I have submitted internally. I must be the first to report to you and help each other in times of trouble. If a family is close to father and sonhow can we abandon our father and surrender to a neighbor?" North Korea, which has not been in war for two hundred years, is known as "Little China". It is peaceful with singing and dancing, civilized and martial arts. In two months, three capitals fell in succession.
The king of North Korea fled to the border between China and North Korea, preparing to cross the river and "die in the country of the emperor." When the Ming Dynasty government heard that North Korea was asking for help, it immediately realized: "Guan Bai's plan for North Korea actually means China", "and our soldiers' rescue of North Korea is actually to protect China." This sentence actually means: "Resist Japan and aid Korea, protect the homeland and the country."
Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty sent a large army to advance by land and water to annihilate the Japanese pirates. "Rebels" from all walks of life in Korea also rose up to resist. The war lasted for seven years. North Korean veteran Yi Sunchen and Ming Dynasty general Deng Zilong both died in fierce battles.
In the end, the Japanese pirates were defeated and fled, Toyotomi Hideyoshi died of illness, North Korea reorganized its country, and regarded the Ming Dynasty as its reborn parent. From then on, Confucian culture was revered to an unparalleled level on the Korean Peninsula. King Seonjo of Joseon said: "Chinese parents, our country and Japan are both foreign countries, just like sons. To say that parents treat their sons, they are filial sons in our country and thief sons in Japan." (Volume 37 of "The Record of Seonjo")
The victory of the Chinese army once again safeguarded the peace of the people of the Korean Peninsula and promoted the development of Korean Peninsula culture. It can be seen that the king of Korea regards China as his father and monarch. The reason why there was no emperor in Korean history, but only kings, was because China had emperors.
Even the name of Korea was canonized by the Chinese government: In 1392, Li Chenggui overthrew the Wang clan of Korea and proclaimed himself king. In the memorial to Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in the name of "the right to know the state affairs of Korea", he drafted two Please choose the country name on your behalf. The two country names are "He Ning" and "North Korea".
Among them, Hening is the place where Li Chenggui’s father, Li Zichun, served as an official in the Goryeo Dynasty. North Korea is an ancient name, which means "the brightest days of North Korea". Zhu Yuanzhang believed that "the only name for Dongyi is 'North Korea', and since it came from such a long distance, it can be attributed to its original name." The Li regime then adopted "North Korea" as its national name.
Since then, the word "North Korea" has become the name of the country, nation and language.
The third time was the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, as everyone knows. The corrupt Qing army defeated Asan first, Seoul second, Pyongyang third, and finally the Beiyang Navy was completely annihilated. Not to mention defending North Korea, China itself cannot even protect it. It will pay indemnities and cede territory, losing power and humiliating the country. At that time, it was equivalent to ceding North Korea and Taiwan to Japan. China's failure resulted in the Korean people being subjugated slaves for 50 years.
This is the fourth time - there have been four times in history, but the opponent is the United States rather than Japan in this time and space.
After more than a year of war, the People's Army has actually controlled all political, military and economic lifelines in northern North Korea. Politically speaking, North Korea can be said to have been an independent country since ancient times, but its national destiny has always been closely related to the rise and fall of China.
At the end of World War II, the Western powers attempted to obstruct Korean independence and asked the United Nations to "mandate" Korea. It was Mr. Chiang Kai-shek and Mr. Mao Zedong who unanimously advocated Korean independence and demanded freedom for the Korean people. This ended half a century of colonization on the Korean peninsula. history.
The reason why successive Chinese emperors only regarded Korea as a vassal state and not as part of the direct administrative jurisdiction was that compared with the prosperous Central Plains, the barren Korean Peninsula was not attractive in terms of the natural resources or climate that could be utilized at that time. In addition, the Korean government always behaves very submissively, and no conqueror would be stupid enough to start a war with its own docile people.
But in modern times, given North Korea’s status as a bridgehead in Northeast Asia and its role as a de facto springboard for Japan’s invasion of China, revisiting the topic of Mr. Zhang Jian’s plan to save North Korea seems particularly in line with Zhang Hanqing’s needs for China’s future geostrategic considerations.
“However, this action must be concealed, otherwise it will make the armistice negotiations with Japan difficult, which is also not in line with the current national conditions and interests. Because for Japan, being defeated by China is already a great shame and humiliation. If the northern part of Japan-controlled Korea is forcibly classified as a province by China, it will definitely stimulate the sensitive and fragile nerves of the militarists, and it will also make the Japanese government unable to move.

Chapter 992 Determination to force peace through war
In fact, just occupying it, why do you need this reputation? The meat is already in the pot and will be eaten sooner or later, so there is no need to rush it.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing sent many Korean cadres from the Northeast, established various bureaus and departments according to the Northeast provincial structure, and abolished the Dao organizational system and changed it to the same prefectural and urban divisions as in China.
Based on this, North Korea began to organize the government from top to bottom.
Of course, in the early days, the official positions of various bureaus and departments were temporarily held by these Chinese Korean cadres. When - at least this is what Zhang Hanqing said - the Korean people could master the ability to handle government affairs and elect representatives. When the public opinion of legislators and judges and the separation of powers structure are finally formed, power will gradually be transferred to them.
The reason why the higher level did not call it the same "ministry" as the Central Committee of China. Zhang Hanqing's statement to the outside world was that "North Korea has not yet been unified, and it is not appropriate to use the name of North-South division at this time." His explanation is because once it becomes a "ministry" , which means that North Korea in the north becomes a country and legally loses its title to the south.
His statement won the approval of even the most staunch North Korean Zionists. But if they knew about Zhang Hanqing's plan to encroach, they would be furious. All the confidants who are familiar with Zhang Hanqing's routines can see that the young commander insists that North Korea and the mainland provinces form a similar structure, which is essentially the same as them.
While Zhang Hanqing was racking his brains for the long-lasting peace of the Korean people, Japan sent Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Aoi Shigemitsu to North Korea as its special diplomatic envoy to take charge of Sino-Japanese peace talks.
Shigemitsu Aoi has been the first counselor of the embassy in China for a long time. He once served as the consul general in Shanghai and has a deep understanding of Chinese affairs. Later, he was posted to the United States as the consul in Portland, Oregon. He enjoyed a high reputation in the diplomatic community and was also Zhang Zuolin's "Old friend".
Although it was still snowing lightly, in Seoul, Shigemitsu Aoi saw with his own eyes the enthusiasm of the North Korean people for economic and political construction. Under the guidance of Chinese officials, they began to rebuild the city and restore the Han system in an orderly manner. They regarded the Korean People's Army as liberators and defenders, and they were completely different from resisting Japanese rule from the bottom of their hearts. This gave him a great deal pressure.
Because the bottom line the Japanese government gave him was that China would return to Northeast China and continue to recognize Japan's occupation of North Korea in exchange for a truce between the two countries. He felt it was impossible at the beginning, but now he realized it was really impossible. Based on his research on this Chinese young marshal, he will not spit out the fat he has obtained easily.
“At present, Japan obviously has no trump card that can force him to do this.
"However, as a diplomat, you have to rely on your smooth tongue to achieve seemingly impossible tasks. He and his entourage presented a greeting card to Zhang Hanqing in accordance with the national ceremony——as Zhang Hanqing's status as the vice chairman of the country, he also deserved his visit.
"Wouldn't it be nice to have friends from far away?" This was the first thing Zhang Hanqing said to him with a cheerful look.
After hearing this, Shigemitsu Aoi was very happy. This is a good start. After all, there is still a war ahead. The fact that the other party can say such things indicates that the atmosphere of this meeting may not be so tense and the tone is friendly.
But when Chong Guangkui bowed with a smile on his face, Zhang Hanqing suddenly said seriously: "For today, Mr. Special Envoy can still be regarded as my friend. There is an old saying in China, 'When two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed.' . I’m glad that your government sent you here. I wonder what good news Mr. Special Envoy can bring me?”
Shigemitsu Aoi was very depressed: "I haven't said anything yet. Let's start with a show of strength. This tone is well done. It seems that this young marshal is also an expert in diplomacy." Facing the man in front of him who was ten years younger than him. He didn't mean to look down upon the "little brother" who was a few years old. If it weren't for the empire's disastrous defeat, he would not be so shy as to seek peace.
"I have been ordered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire of Japan to be solely responsible for the truce between China and Japan on the Korean Peninsula. I wonder if the truce between the two countries and the signing of a peace agreement is considered good news? "
Zhang Hanqing was very pleased: "No matter what the reason is, it is always a good thing to allow the North Korean people to enjoy peace. I wonder when your army will withdraw from North Korea?"
Shigemitsu Kui was blocked by him again, and she felt panicked. If you let the other party keep talking to him in this domineering manner, he will already lose the head start.
He was also an old man, so he smiled and replied: "Young Marshal's words are wrong. The North Korean government invited the Japanese government to take over the situation, otherwise it would have fallen into the hands of the Soviet Russians; more than 20 years ago, Japan and South Korea merged into As one, our country already enjoys sovereignty over North Korea, but the Chinese army did not obtain permission to enter North Korea, right?"
What a shitty invitation! Anyone with a little knowledge of history knows that North Korea was forcibly annexed. After the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, China lost its suzerainty over Korea, and the forces in Korea were expelled by Japan; in 1905, the victory of the Russo-Japanese War made Japan regain itsThe 1st Division formed in Tokyo was the first division established by the Japanese army. Cheng Huan fired the first shot with the Qing army in Korea. Because Tokyo has been a commercial city since the Edo period, the folk customs are not strong, and most conscripts have to go to the poorer Nagano Prefecture in the west. This sturdy force has a psychological advantage over China because of its previous victory against the Qing army.
If this powerful force were completely wiped out, what a big shock it would be to the Japanese army! Except for the surprise attack in Kanto Prefecture and the dog-like attack in the northern campaign, it was difficult for the People's Army to become an organized unit to defeat the Japanese army in the subsequent war: it was not how tenacious its style was, but how fast it escaped. Soon.
And the Japanese army has a strange logic. Even if the number of troops is exhausted, as long as the alliance flag is still there, they will not lose. They will only be called a temporary retreat or defeat, not a defeat. Since the flag of the 6th Regiment of the 3rd Division was captured, they always placed the flag at the division headquarters before the battle. In this way, the People's Army will have no chance to completely annihilate a regiment.
For the top Japanese military officials, losing a regiment is not a problem. It is just regarded as being killed in a war of attrition. It will not affect their courage and determination to continue fighting, nor will it be questioned.
The lives of their soldiers seem to be worthless, and casual deaths of thousands or eight hundred people will not cause big waves in the country.
But what about an entire division?
Ji Yiqiao is determined to implement Zhang Hanqing's idea. After careful study, he believed that the 1st Division's station was a bit forward, which was a favorable condition for dividing the encirclement. However, since it is not located on the flanks, it is inevitable to worry about the rescue on its left and right sides.
According to the tradition of 3:1 attack and defense, at least 4 divisions are required to conduct a frontal attack, and 4 divisions are required to block its reinforcements.
There are five corps on the front line controlling the entire defense line. It is difficult to mobilize these troops spread over a front line of more than 200 kilometers, and they lack concealment. It seems that mobilizing troops from the rear is the best strategy. He looked around among the four supporting armies and planned to use Song Zheyuan's 21st Army as the main attack, but Zhang Hanqing vetoed it.
"Use a heavy hammer to sound the drum. Directly transfer the 27th and 29th armies to eat it at all costs!"
These two armies are one of the five main forces of the People's Army. They have experienced many battles and are the strategic reserves of Northeast China and North Korea. Zhang Hanqing personally proposed to use them to fight, with the idea of ??deciding the outcome of the war in one battle! Although their equipment is first-rate in China and the quality of their soldiers is also the best, four times as many as the Japanese First Division, the final losses will certainly not be small if the two powerful forces collide.
Ji Yiqiao was surprised: "Young Marshal, is this price too high?"
How could Zhang Hanqing be willing to give up! But if you want to change the stalemate quickly, you still need the necessary courage. Although this seems to be too costly, if we do not cut the knot quickly, continuing to drag it out will be a disaster for both China and Japan: not only will more people die, but it will also drag down domestic development.
"The European and American powers are licking their wounds, but China and Japan are biting each other. One is declining and the other is rising. It is not a good thing no matter how you say it."
"If you give up, you will gain! If we continue to fight endlessly, the casualties will not be less than this! Only by such a powerful collision can the 1st Division be severely beaten and crippled, and the set task of forcing peace through war be completed to the maximum extent. , thus allowing the Japanese government to see the situation clearly!
Maybe the losses in this battle will exceed the total since entering the DPRK, but I judge that this will be a good opportunity to settle the matter with one battle - it is worth it to create peace on the Korean Peninsula with one battle!
The frontline has been resting for nearly a winter, and it’s time to come out and get some fresh air! "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 993 The thoughts of men and women
“Compared to the bone-deep cold at night on the front lines, the Blue House was shrouded in warmth. This was the largest palace in the ancient Joseon Dynasty, and blazing fires were set off in every hall, driving away the chill.
Zhang Hanqing was lying on the bed, comfortably contemplating the future trend of the Korean Peninsula. If the First Division is successfully eaten, the courage of the Japanese army to continue fighting will be greatly weakened. It is not a dream for the two countries to draw a line and rule on the land they currently control.
In terms of coastal defense, since the full 155mm shore artillery regiment has entered Lushun, Inchon and Weihai, the coastal defense pressure in this area has been greatly reduced. For every country whose capital is close to the ocean, ensuring the security of important areas in the capital is undoubtedly of great political and practical significance.
There are two prerequisites for obtaining security in such areas: the defense cost should not be too high, so as not to squeeze too much out of the navy's overall military expenditure; the defense is effective enough that the enemy will have to pay a high price to launch an attack, and at the same time, it may face attacks from our rear. The threat of devastating strikes from mobile forces.
Since the opening of new sea routes, the coastal defense ideas of most Western maritime hegemons have focused on seizing control of the sea and suppressing enemy navies, adhering to the policy of "offense is the best defense." However, as a rising star, China does not yet have such strength. Its main task at present is to ensure the security of its own key areas and maintain a sufficiently powerful mobile combat force when possible.
The trinity of shore artillery, aviation, shallow water gunboats or destroyers constitutes an important force in defending Gyeonggi, the Yangtze River Estuary and the Pearl River Estuary. In other places, land defense can only be the main force. However, as long as the war situation on the Korean Peninsula is tense and the Air Force continues to maintain a posture of threatening Japan domestically, its huge fleet and main offensive and defensive focus will be firmly contained in North Korea.
This is Zhang Hanqing’s confidence. China has a weak coastal defense that cannot bear the burden, Japan also has a major threat to its territory being attacked, and North Korea has a serious internal problem that it cannot afford to lose. The current stalemate between the two sides, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, is an example of fighting a wolf with a straw - a classic example of fear from both sides.
The initiative in the North Korean stalemate now lies with China. With a population five times greater than its own, China has sufficient reserve personnel.
In this era when a soldier is a soldier who carries a rifle, what China does not lack most is the source of soldiers. Moreover, the continuous wars in the past ten years have cultivated a large number of officers and soldiers who are good at fighting. The militia mechanism has also given the citizens at least some military foundation, and the political system is enough to ensure that the fighting will of the officers and soldiers will not lose to any opponent.
The Army is also lagging behind. Because of the huge coal and iron resources, China has sufficient steel production capacity, so the equipment of the artillery, the king of land warfare, far exceeds that of the Japanese army. This is also the source of strength for Zhang Hanqing to dare to put the economy first. Otherwise, such intensive firepower output on the Korean battlefield would directly bring down the People's Army.
The war is getting bigger and bigger, and the People's Army is getting better and better. Baptized by blood and fire, this army accustomed to fighting civil wars also showed its tenacity to the world and became a nightmare for Japanese commanders. It was precisely because of their sacrifice and courage that Zhang Hanqing firmly believed that inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese army would be the basis for the blossoming of the armistice between the two countries.
For this stormy attack, the Air Force mobilized all its forces in Korea, and two brand-new armored divisions were also placed under the command of the two main attacking armies. In this era of lack of reconnaissance means, such a huge mobilization plan is difficult to detect by the enemy.
China’s determination to fight was still felt by the Japanese Korea Command. After all, in a large-scale war, the movement of logistics and equipment was not as big as usual. However, it will take time to judge the original intentions of the Chinese, and they need accurate intelligence.
For the truce proposal put forward by the emperor, the frontline officers and soldiers expressed their heartfelt agreement. Continuous defeats and no hope of victory will have a huge impact on morale, even for an army that is good at fighting.
The Japanese troops who survived the last fierce offensive of the People's Army knew that they wanted to fight in the war against the Army of the People's Army. Victory is beyond their ability, and even no one can do it.
Therefore, the Japanese army's front line has clearly reflected a comprehensive defense. They used all means to delay a possible KPA attack: trees, barbed wire, earth bags, and trenches. Speaking of this, special praise should be given to the Japanese army's effective engineering capabilities. Not only is the strength of individual soldiers fighting bayonets, but they are also good at digging trenches in defense.
There are long-term efforts by field observers dispatched in Europe. They basically used all the excellent defense methods that appeared in World War I. Although the cost was high, it made the officers and soldiers feel confident and called it an iron wall.
In front of the position, various light and heavy machine guns are used to secure important positions, followed by infantry artillery to block the front, and finally, long-distance artillery regiments are used to suppress fire in front of the position. Under such strict defense, any tough attack will encounter aKill.
And because of several major defeats, the defense line has been severely compressed. Both the east and west sides can receive intensive fire support from the naval fleet. The rear defense line is already guarded by the Marine Corps, and logistics supplies are also very convenient. Nanjiro and others, who had no worries, wanted to use this as a capital for a long-term stalemate. They are also anxiously waiting for the good news from the Five Phase Conference.
The good news is that there is one, but it is only one-sided. In particular, the arrogant attitude of Minister Shigemitsu Aoiji, who was rejected thousands of miles away by the Chinese marshal as soon as he met him, made the senior Japanese military officials who knew about it deeply resentful.
But that’s all, they still have to nervously study and judge the next move of the People’s Army. In this foreign country covered in ice and snow, the source of this confidential information historically turned to Liao Yaquan.
In order to get as close as possible to Zhang Hanqing, Liao Yaquan also worked hard. She traveled from North Korea to Dalian, from Dalian to Beijing, then to Shanghai, and then back to Seoul, accompanying Zhang Hanqing to every corner. As his life secretary, she did a great job.
However, Zhang Hanqing never dealt with important military affairs at home. The only thing she could contact was that he was paired up with Ruan Lingyu and Aida again. Whose noble lady or daughter in the circle had an affair with him? It was all these romantic affairs.
“Coupled with the presence of his wives and confidantes, she didn’t even have the chance to sacrifice herself! It was also after meeting the women behind him. Because of the existence of these beauties with different temperaments, she felt that her previous thoughts were naive: she wanted to conquer the young marshal with her face without sacrificing her life. joke!
once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking. Zhang Hanqing, who has experienced many kinds of special beauties, now has a strong immunity to ordinary beauties. Besides, there is no shortage of beauties in his circle. As a result, Liao Yaquan's sense of crisis is heightened: unconditional dedication is already difficult, let alone having a purpose?
She received an order to try to find out the young marshal's true attitude towards the armistice and his thoughts on post-war negotiations. To be honest, unless there is a very close relationship with this relatively "retreaty" matter, it is impossible to resort to documents or form a resolution. But she was still resistant to sacrifice.
But when she saw the beautiful girl next to her, she smiled slightly.
"Asianxiang, are you still used to following me?" she asked.
This girl with beautiful appearance and jade-like skin said in Chinese that she was not yet fluent in: "I am grateful to Miss Liao for saving her life and treating me like a sister. Qianxiang will be happy to follow Miss Liao wherever she goes." "
She is the daughter of the down-and-out Japanese expatriate who sold small items in Shanghai for the survival of her family. Her full name is Fujiwara Asaka. If Liao Yaquan hadn't saved her from danger through Zhang Hanqing's help, she would have been almost humiliated by Niu Wu, and she would have suffered an inhumane life now, not to mention her family living a good life.
“Perhaps out of empathy, or for some unexplainable reason, Liao Yaquan not only saved her, but also helped her family, allowing them to settle in Shanghai. Fujiwara Asaka was grateful and volunteered to follow Liao Yaquan to Seoul to take care of her daily life. After raising an army for a thousand days, now is the time to grandly launch her.
The instruction given to her by the intelligence headquarters was to hide herself for as long as possible. She would inevitably run the risk of being discovered if she came forward in everything. However, putting a real Japanese next to Zhang Hanqing could bring a certain degree of recognition to her identity. With her concealment, Fujiwara Asaka will be her good choice.
The key to being young, beautiful and having good temperament is that the Japanese woman’s supple style is deeply rooted in her blood, which is formed by the long-term atmosphere. According to Liao Yaquan's observation, Zhang Hanqing likes this type of women very much, Huang Wanqing, Yu Yifan, Wanrong, Liang Qingzhu are the representatives.
“If I ask you something, would you be willing to do it?” Liao Yaquan asked tentatively.
Fujiwara Asaka said without hesitation: "I am happy to do whatever Miss Liao asks." After getting along with Liao Yaquan for a period of time, she felt that this girl seemed very kind, but the chill in her bones made people feel afraid to disobey. In fact, her family members in Shanghai have been taken into custody as hostages, including the head and tail of this woman.
At first, she thought she was being used as a tool to please the young commander, but this was unreasonable because Liao Yaquan himself had good capital. In any case, it is far better to live with a young marshal for the sake of family than to be defiled by that awesome guy.
"The young marshal likes you very much, and I want to send you to him. Don't you really want to return to China? As long as you get his permission, you and your family can return to Hokkaido smoothly." Liao Yaquan considered Even she found it difficult to say this.
"Using women to steal information is one of the necessary trainings for a spy, and it is also the root cause of its long-lasting popularity in the "industry". Liao Yaquan should have taken action on her own, but she always backed down. When she finally gathered some courage, first Ruan Lingyu and then Ada appeared. The appearance of these unexpected women disrupted her steps.
At this time, Fujiwara Asaka appeared. Liao Yaquan decided to use her Japanese identity to allow herself to approach Zhang Hanqing calmly and effectively cover her identity.
Great women who sacrificed their lives for their country, including Xi Tzu in ancient China, and Japanese women do not give in too much in this regard. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)She was all timid, but when she finally gathered some courage, first Ruan Lingyu, and then Ada, the appearance of these unexpected women disrupted her steps.

Chapter 994 Demonstration like this
Fujiwara Asaka opened the door of Zhang Hanqing's room with countless thoughts.
In the past, her attention to the most powerful man in China only existed in newspapers and rumors on the streets. If she were not in two hostile countries, she would treat him like an idol like many star-chasing boys and girls.
He is powerful, wealthy and most importantly, young and handsome. He is like a prince charming and is almost every woman’s dream husband. Even if he is the leader of an enemy country, even if he is the culprit of his personal and family downfall, Fujiwara Asaka cannot feel hatred.
When Liao Yaquan said that the young marshal "liked her very much", she felt only deep joy in her heart. After her family experienced great changes in Shanghai, she instinctively had a heartfelt respect for the strong. Moreover, after Liao Yaquan said that his family's happiness all depended on the young commander's thoughts, this "sacrifice" mentality became even greater.
Thanks to me, the whole family is happy. For a woman, this is the greatest and most recognized contribution In the Japanese tradition, respect, especially obedience to the strong, has become part of the national spirit and has been inherited. .
"Young Marshal, please have a cup of tea" This is the respectful movement and voice of Fujiwara Asaka.
Zhang Hanqing was awakened from his meditation by her, and when he raised his head, he saw this graceful girl who occasionally drifted into his dream. For the first time, she wore an evening kimono made of shrunken Burmese fabric, which had a unique flavor on this early spring night. Zhang Hanqing's eyes seemed to be still at this moment.
??If you evaluate the clothing that can combine the softness and beauty of women among all the clothing in the world, it is the kimono.
"Asianxiang, why is it you? Where is Miss Liao?"
As his life secretary, Liao Yaquan was responsible for all trivial matters before. Although Fujiwara Asaka followed her, she always only served on the periphery. The identity of the Japanese woman caused the security review agency of the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to investigate her family situation. She also received special attention when entering and leaving Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Fujiwara Asaka is a very nice name. It is only one word different from a Japanese actress whom Zhang Hanqing once lusted after in later generations, but her beauty is no less beautiful. Almost at the same time he was accepted as a follower by Liao Yaquan, he noticed this pleasantly supple Japanese girl. But he didn't know Liao Yaquan's plan, so he resisted the urge to flirt with her.
He has no objection at all to Liao Yaquan's behavior of putting her under his nose. This is also a common feature of almost all men: even if they can't eat it, it's good to keep her around.
In fact, if you put aside your nationality and identity, Fujiwara Asaka is really a very comfortable woman. There was once a joke that said that the happiest thing in the world is to "marry a Japanese wife, hire a Chinese chef, and hire a French housekeeper."
For him who is determined to taste all the beauties in the world, there are already many women around him: Biyu from a small family, ladies from the big family, Shuyuan from a famous family, and even relatives of the emperor, including the queen. This is Chinese; Gu Ruiyu, who is of Chinese and Russian descent; Kawashima Yoshiko, a brainwashed half-Japanese; Ada, an Italian aristocrat.
I have never tasted real Japanese women.
I wanted to find an opportunity to eat Liao Yaquan after I came to Seoul. Who told her to be around her all day long and refuse to welcome her? To be honest, she is a very beautiful girl and has the potential to be a spy. However, who asked her to meet him when she was very young and unsophisticated? Who let him know that she was a spy?
However, the moment he saw Fujiwara Asaka, he immediately changed his mind.
When I first met her, she was still unkempt, except for the occasional delicate and white skin. Then when I saw her again after taking a bath, I was so surprised that the hibiscus came out of the clear water. If Sheng Aiyi hadn't been by her side, it's unclear whether she would have changed from a girl to a woman at that time.
Then when Liao Yaquan asked her to accompany him, Zhang Hanqing completely agreed.
No matter her identity as a Japanese woman! so what? In the eyes of men, there is only difference between beauty and ugliness in a woman who takes off her clothes! This is the fraternity and tolerance of men! This beautiful girl will be yours sooner or later!
At this moment when the big plan has been made and there is nothing to do, on such a comfortable night, with such a lovely person of the opposite sex appearing in front of him, Zhang Hanqing himself feels that he is too hypocritical to say that he is not tempted. But he didn't want it to turn into an accident before he figured out the story.
"Miss Liao temporarily entrusted me to serve the young marshal. She is not feeling well today." Fujiwara Asaka said according to Liao Yaquan's prior instructions.
"Oh, that's right, put down the tea." Zhang Hanqing said casually, while his brain was running rapidly. Liao Yaquan has always been in good health and has a regular diet and rest schedule. Her menstrual period will come a few days later, and she is still fine in the afternoon
This is not Zhang Hanqing’s searchDamn, he's not that fussy yet. These are the masterpieces of various agents surrounding her. What a joke, Zhang Hanqing can tolerate a Japanese female spy lurking around to carry out his plan. The Ministry of National Security and the General Office of the Central Committee cannot be careless. The safety of the young marshal is important!
Fujiwara Asaka slowly put down her teacup, turned around and glanced at Zhang Hanqing in a panic, who was calmly admiring her every move, which made her heart palpitate even faster. When it came, she was ready to sacrifice her body, but despite this, she still showed a clear lack of composure. This is the first time the eldest daughter has boarded the sedan chair. Who knows what the situation is like?
Her slowness surprised Zhang Hanqing, but it was not a safety concern. The security inspection at the Central Guard Bureau is extremely strict. Except for high-ranking officials such as Ji Yiqiao, officers at the general level need to undergo routine inspections if they want to approach him, let alone known Japanese like her.
"Are you okay?" Zhang Hanqing smiled harmlessly.
"Ah! No, no" Fujiwara Asaka waved her hands subconsciously as if her thoughts were touched. But, is it really okay? But how do I say this?
"You must have something to say. But it doesn't matter. You can sit down and talk slowly." Zhang Hanqing's gentleman nature was clearly demonstrated. He cooperated and gave her a step up, even though he didn't know what she wanted to say.
"I, I, I want to know, the young marshal, uh, his views on Sino-Japanese peace. I heard that a special envoy from Japan talked to the young marshal today, but it seems that they did not reach an agreement." She started to stutter, after all, Chinese It’s not very good either, but after getting rid of the initial timidity, it became smoother.
Zhang Hanqing smiled: "So that's what happened! Is Miss Fujiwara also very interested in national affairs now?"
Fujiwara Asaka shook her head: "I just miss home. I want to go back to Hokkaido with my parents and brothers. We can only leave when the war is over!" According to the investigation, her father is a well-known businessman in Hokkaido and came to Shanghai, China to stay. After living there for several years, it is said that he began to make a fortune. However, when the war broke out, his property in China suddenly disappeared.
"Oh, that's it. But Miss Fujiwara came to ask me, but she asked me for help. Whether the Sino-Japanese war can stop, and when it will stop, my words don't count." Zhang Hanqing replied with a smile.
"But, you are the biggest official in China, and this is what you said." She gestured with her thumb.
This action means husband, master or boss in Japanese, and it looks cute in her hands. "Who else can do it if you don't count?" Fujiwara was puzzled. She seemed to have forgotten the purpose of this trip.
"Your country! The Emperor of Japan, the Japanese government, and the Japanese military are the ones who have the final say in deciding whether or not the war should cease. As long as they give up their aggression against China, the Korean battlefield will soon turn into a joyful place! "
Zhang Hanqing Yi was doing her ideological work enthusiastically. They were so close that he could clearly see the two dimples that Fujiwara Asaka inadvertently revealed when she spoke. They were so cute that he couldn't bear to destroy them. beautiful!
"But didn't Mr. Shigemitsu Aoi come to propose a truce? I heard that the young marshal did not agree to the truce!"
Fujiwara Asaka is obviously dissatisfied with Zhang Hanqing's perfunctory approach. No matter how little she understands politics, the fact that someone traveled thousands of miles to negotiate peace at least shows that she is sincere. The young marshal treats her as a political novice, which is too bullying.
At this moment, she had a small mouth that seemed angry and resentful, making her face look a little more angry. Although she was expressing her dissatisfaction, her gestures did not show any dissatisfaction, which made Zhang Hanqing instantly have narrow-minded thoughts.
"Really?" He suddenly laughed, sat up and went to grab her waist. This move of being a gentleman on the front foot and a villain on the back foot really frightened Fujiwara. Even if he used force, it would not be so abrupt. She instinctively retreated in panic, but suddenly remembered Liao Yaquan's words, and was inevitably stunned.
At this moment, she was naturally bullied by him. When she wanted to say something, Zhang Hanqing had already spoken: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
This shameless duplicity only increased her panic. Although she was ready to sacrifice herself, when the moment actually came, she still subconsciously resisted. She wanted to struggle, but Zhang Hanqing was very strong. She had never experienced a man pressing down on her.
However, just when she wanted to simply obey, Zhang Hanqing suddenly stopped: "Japan's thinking is just like mine just now. It says no while saying no, and at the same time it makes moves. Its wishful thinking is as big as Zhan. You can take whatever advantage you want until you are stopped! If no one stops you, it will become a fact!"
sky! It turns out that the young marshal just made a movement on her body to illustrate his theory! What he said seemed to make sense, but his actions were a bit embarrassing.
Zhang Hanqing is a veteran among flowers, and he was somewhat surprised by Fujiwara Asaka's reaction. In any case, China and Japan are enemies. When dealing with herself, Japan's biggest enemy, she should not refuse to welcome her in return. Because just for a moment, Fujiwara seemed to give up the struggle, but then quickly changed his mind.
Although he prides himself on being handsome enough to alarm Zhongnanhai, Zhang Hanqing is not narcissistic enough to think that he can be handsome enough to turn his enemies against him. He was curious as to what this supple looking Japanese girl wanted to do. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Yes, he was somewhat surprised by Fujiwara Asaka's reaction.

Chapter 995 That romantic love
Fujiwara Asaka seemed to understand Zhang Hanqing's words. She stroked her slightly messy hair with her hands. This extremely feminine movement made Zhang Hanqing throb: "Young Marshal, what do you think should be done? Keep fighting?"
"As the commander-in-chief of China, I will never give up the position that I have conquered with great difficulty, just like you -" Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but think about it. He looked at the innocent and lovely Japanese girl in front of him: "There must be a little bit. It’s all about the benefits.”
While speaking, he calmly took up her hand, and the smoothness and softness made his throbbing turn into a thrill. This time, this place, this kind of closeness, this kind of girl, if he doesn't eat the meat that comes to his door, then he wouldn't be called Zhang Hanqing.
Eyes are the windows to the soul, and hands are the tools to open the windows to the soul. A woman's recognition of a man has always started with the obedience of her hands.
Fujiwara Asaka had no objection to his rough hands, so Zhang Hanqing quickly took advantage of her. He climbed onto Fujiwara Asaka's head and said, "Unless Japan unconditionally declares an unconditional truce, there will be no chance of peace between our two countries." He stroked her back. The neck is as smooth as a mirror: "It's like you are invading my territory and I want to stop. Is it possible?"
His words are profound. No matter how difficult Fujiwara Asahara’s Chinese is, it will not prevent her from understanding Zhang Hanqing’s words and deeds.
He said he was invading his territory, but in fact, his restless hand was indeed invading his territory. The only difference from Niu Wu's performance is that he just looks more graceful, speaks more gently, and moves more gracefully, but the demeanor and psychology that a man should have are the same.
“However, this is exactly what she came for. Japanese women can do anything for their families. Instead of committing themselves to people like Niu Wu, leaving it to this young Chinese high-ranking official who is not annoying is also an option.
She mustered up her courage and said with difficulty: "Young Marshal, my family, my parents and younger brother, want to return to Hokkaido after the war. Can you guarantee them?"
She simply thought that Liao Yaquan’s surveillance of her family was under the orders of the young commander.
Of course Zhang Hanqing thinks it is very simple. As for Japanese civilians, just let them go after the war. Isn’t that just a matter of words? Thinking that such an easy condition could make this beautiful woman willingly surrender to him, her whole body was sweeter than drinking honey. He moved his hands around her wantonly, and received her silent obedience.
Although separated by a thick layer of winter kimono, the psychological sense of superiority to Japan arises spontaneously. He leaned close to her ear, biting her earlobe, and smiled frivolously with a pun: "As long as you do your best, I will always make you happy."
Fujiwara Asaka understood what he meant, blushed and lowered her head. Seeing that the heat had arrived, Zhang Hanqing could no longer hold back his impulse and took the initiative to undress and untie her.
Why do Japanese women always give people the impression of being gentle, reserved, beautiful, and intelligent? In fact, everything stems from the unique kimono they wear. It is the "one hidden" and "one exposed" of the kimono that fully demonstrates the unique charm of women.
In fact, many Japanese women are not that beautiful. Their race determines that their bodies have many defects that are not suitable for being models, such as short stature, short legs and thick feet. It is easy to show timidity when wearing too exposed professional clothes, so you should wear loose and loose kimonos. Gaining weight to cover up the natural shortness and thick legs is what "Ichizo" means.
But at this time, Zhang Hanqing would not think about such a disgraceful thing. In his eyes, he only saw the beautiful face, the imaginary body with the fragrance of a girl, and the happiness of being about to feast.
All kimonos have no buttons, only a knotted belt. The wrapped body is hidden in thin clothing of various colors, looming, adding a bit of hazy beauty. This kind of "hiding" is actually a half-hearted, ambiguous and hazy version of "hiding". Is this also a factor in the vixen temperament that Japanese women are born with?
Zhang Hanqing has no time to appreciate the beauty and ugliness of clothes. After all, it is just a kind of decoration. What is hidden inside is what interests him. He will not do the stupid thing of "buying a casket for a pearl".
To be honest, Zhang Hanqing is a complete layman in his research on Japanese women. What he is good at is appreciating the traces of Hatano Yui, Ao-sensei and others who are preserved in the documents. What he didn't notice was that Fujiwara Asaka actually came wearing a married woman's kimono.
Japanese kimonos are very particular and very troublesome to put on. It is said that it once took two hours to wear. The attire of kimono is also different between girls and women. Married women usually wear "warsode", while unmarried ladies usually wear "furisode".
But for Zhang Hanqing, there are only two kinds of Japanese women in front of him, those with clothes on and those without clothes. Now, he wanted to turn the clothed woman into an unclothed woman. He always enjoyed doing this.
Fujiwara Asaka closed her eyes and let his handShe untied and peeled off the layers of fabric on her chest and back, being so close to a man, and hearing his rapid breathing at close range, her heart beat faster than expected, even though she had decided to do this before. .
She came dressed in women's clothing, which was to preserve her self-esteem in young women's clothing. At the same time, she also expressed that there was no "transition" between the two. The reason for this cross-talk is that Japanese girls believe that chastity is sacred, while women are not so serious about it.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a deception, and it is indeed the case, but if it can give a woman who is about to lose her virginity some comfort in her heart, it is not a bad idea. The consequences are already predictable, and the process must always be perfect.
" Fujiwara Asaka's performance made Zhang Hanqing feel very perfect. He also felt a little pity for such a beautiful object. After all, everyone has a love for beauty.
What surprised Zhang Hanqing was that when the thick and gorgeous winter kimono was peeled off, what he touched was smooth, which was the body temperature and softness of women. He was extremely skilled. It turns out that Asaka Fujimoto was not wearing any underwear inside!
Worried that the cold wind in the room would blow her away, Zhang Hanqing held her in his arms with pity. In fact, it's spring here, so where's the cold? However, Fujiwara Asaka obediently allowed her hands to touch and squeeze dishonestly, closing her eyes and letting herself do whatever she wanted. She aggrieved and catered to him in bed, and her complete dedication from the inside out was truly "unconditional surrender".
This pride and enjoyment of men may only be obtained by the emperor concubines in the harem. After tasting the sweetness, men begin to forgive.
He left a bit of manly breath on her lips like a dragonfly in order to eliminate her tension as much as possible, because he had already noticed the two trembling buds.
"I'm going to eat you!" he said while lingering on her lips, his hand already dishonestly placed where it shouldn't be. His movements were intoxicating and made her gasp. While he was talking to tease girls, it did not affect the continuity of his other actions. He was also eager to show off his strong chest muscles, abdominal muscles and femoral muscles.
He made full preparations this time before launching an attack. At the same time, the most intense and largest offensive on the Korean battlefield will also be launched simultaneously. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 996 Love in the Snow
There is a winter chill outside, and the snow that fell a few days ago has not melted, giving off a halo at night. Under the moonlight, the shadows of distant scenery are vaguely visible, and there is sufficient resolution even at close range. On such a night, if there is a ball of hot fire in a room filled with beautiful women, there is a special sense of sadness in a world of ice and snow.
Lieutenant General Wada Kameji looked out the window at the light snow that was gradually stopping. At this time, there must have been heavy snowfall along the west coast of Hokkaido and Honshu, and the scale was definitely bigger than this. At this time, if it had not been for the war, the Sapporo and Yokote Snow House Festivals would have been held in full swing. He would have walked the dog in the snow with the children, or built a simple sled for them.
When the war reaches this point, it is no longer a display of personal strength and ability. Every officer and soldier from top to bottom consciously or unconsciously became cannon fodder, fighting against the Chinese army in the ice and snow, in the rain of bullets.
There is nothing we can do about it. The General Staff Headquarters has been evaluating the performance of the Chinese army during the Korean War to assess China's determination, ideas and capabilities for the war. According to their understanding, this is a completely different Beiyang army than they once knew.
Good military discipline, excellent equipment, sufficient logisticsalmost every army that entered the North Korean war broke out with amazing combat effectiveness. If they were generally cautious at the beginning, then they became more relaxed and their skills and tactics continued to improve. Before the war, the young marshal once said that the China Army should use war to support war and improve the combat effectiveness of the army during the battle. They seemed to have done it.
In a head-on confrontation, they did not fall behind at all; and according to experience, the Chinese are particularly good at fighting at night, and such nights are also particularly suitable for raids.
Although the war has been in a state of truce for several consecutive months, because the young marshal rejected the Japanese government's proposal for a truce, as a form of publicity, he is very likely to start a war again.
But in the several battles from last year to the beginning of the year, he has deeply realized that with the current army strength of the Japanese Empire, it is impossible to defeat the Chinese soldiers on land. Although this idea sounds desperate, it is true.
China is building a modern army from the ground up, avoiding many detours, leaping ahead twenty years and achieving the universalization of major equipment in one step. Relying on the extraordinary development of industry and economy as well as huge manpower and material resources, it is a historical trend that it has surpassed Japan without any burden and has been unrivaled ever since.
"Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements." As a figure who has always claimed to be the mainstay of the Imperial Army, although it is a huge shame that he cannot obtain an armistice through military means, he still hopes that the war can be stopped and the empire can be preserved. face.
So he was very disappointed with the failure of Shigemitsu Aoi's negotiations. This means that the armies between China and Japan are still in a state of uneasiness and need to be vigilant at all times, as war may come at any time.
However, according to intelligence, the young marshal will go to the front line to work in the near future, which makes him a little lucky.
The usual practice of the People's Army is to carry out ideological mobilization before a war, which can stimulate the fighting enthusiasm of officers and soldiers. The conclusion drawn based on the persistent information collection and analysis by the intelligence department of the General Staff Headquarters shows that the army under the control of the young marshal has been used very skillfully in the nearly ten years of war.
We have to admit that although the Chinese army on the opposite side has not been baptized by the spirit of the Imperial Bushido, they are still a powerful force that is not afraid of death, has a fighting will that is not inferior to that of the Locust Army, and whose individual soldiers and firepower are superior to the Locust Army.
As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, Lieutenant General Wada Kameji actually understood that whether the opponent launched earlier or later would not have much impact on the outcome of the battle. Failure is a high probability - in the face of absolute strength, the result of a head-on confrontation will definitely be loss. But if the People's Army attacks later, he will have more hope for life.
Before that, there should be no fighting for the time being, right? He packed his coat tightly and got into his headquarters, where the chief of staff had prepared fine sake for him.
“Compared to the cold wind outside, it’s still very warm inside. Sakai Naoji simply prepared two side dishes and waited for him to come back.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the Chinese Army has not launched an offensive all winter. They have to take a rest in such a cold weather, right? As a native of Tokyo, I can't stand it."
Naoji Sakai is a descendant of the famous Japanese general Tadashi Sakai (a retainer of Tokugawa Ieyasu) in the middle and late Warring States Period. He graduated from the 23rd class of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School and the 32nd class of the Japanese Army University. He became the chief of staff of the division at the age of 37, which is considered a great He is a promising general in Japan.
In the Japanese army, the rank of chief of staff of a division is a very strange phenomenon. The division commander is usually a lieutenant general, the brigade commander is a major general, and the division chief of staff is usually a colonel, that is, a colonel. The rank of colonel is generally awarded to the regiment.??, brigade chief of staff, division chief of staff.
So there was a situation where the rank of a superior officer was lower than that of a lower officer. This was roughly the same as the Beiyang Army in the early Republic of China.
In fact, because the Beiyang Army inherited its division from Japan, its chief of staff was assigned a rank of colonel, which was lower than the rank of brigade commander (major general). It was only after Zhang Hanqing came out that this situation changed in his Guards Division and the 27th Division.
Of course, for the same colonel, the weight of these positions is different. Because the Japanese army does not have the positions of brigadier general and senior colonel, if we want to make a rigid distinction, it is more appropriate to compare the commander of the regiment to the "colonel", the chief of staff of the brigade to the "senior colonel", and the chief of staff of the division to the "brigadier general".
In the book "Army and Navy General Personnel Overview" published by Furong Shufang in Showa 56, the chief of staff of the division (Colonel) was also included. It can be seen that the chief of staff of the division was regarded as a general in the Japanese army.
"Sakai-kun, we should not take the fighting strength and fighting will of the Chinese army lightly! They will always take a bite out of our weak points. To be honest, we have nothing to do against their offensive methods and tenacious defense. The most frightening thing is that their continuous supply of manpower and materials gives them the ability to start a big war at any time!
As a soldier of the empire, I cannot win the war for my country, but I pin my hopes on the armistice negotiations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is a lifelong shame! "
Speaking of shame, he drank down the wine in the glass, as if this would avenge his shame.
Naoji Sakai comforted him sympathetically: "Your Majesty Commander, we have done our best. Compared with the annihilated Lieutenant General Akai's 2nd Division and the 19th and 20th Divisions originally in North Korea, We still won the war, didn't we? If the war ends successfully, our heroic First Division can still accept flowers and applause from the people!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 997 Sake Sakura and Carp
Throughout the early war, the only thing that could make the Japanese people feel gratified was the killing of the People's Army prisoners of war by the "heroic and invincible" Army First Division. This was the only achievement they could achieve.
Because compared to other teams, the outcome of being wiped out, severely damaged, or losing strategic locations is not that they can cover up the failure by killing many enemies. On the contrary, the killing of hundreds of fresh and seriously injured people stimulates the people more. .
This was also the only time they achieved great military success by "annihilating" the People's Army in an "organized" manner.
No matter how shameless it seems to outsiders, once North Korea achieves an armistice, the First Division will have the opportunity to accept the worship of the people, and the military will give it to it soon.
"Well, after this battle, the Japanese Empire will no longer have the opportunity to challenge China's position in East Asia, and our national policy will also undergo great changes. Thinking of this, we cannot face the samurai who died in the Army Department!" Wada Kameji He sighed and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
"Commander, the main force of our army is still there, and we also have a steady stream of reservists joining us. Most of the previously lost troops have been replenished, and the artillery aided by the United States has been gradually equipped. We still have a battle left. Strength! As the commander-in-chief of an army, the commander cannot be so depressed!"
Japan implements a national service system, and all male citizens over the age of 17 must serve as reserve soldiers. Japan's reserve soldiers are divided into four modules, namely reserve service, reserve service, supplementary military service, and national service. Those retired soldiers must participate in reserve service. Once the country is in trouble, they will all be recalled.
During World War II, of the 78 million Japanese citizens, 7.2 million still served before the surrender. From this point of view, the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers killed and injured on the Korean battlefield are indeed small.
But what needs to be considered is that these officers and soldiers are the most elite troops of the Japanese Army. Their daily training is by no means comparable to the new second-rate divisions, and of course their combat effectiveness is not at the same level. Colonel Sakai Naoji's words are mostly to cheer himself up.
Waving to reject the chief of staff's instigation or comfort, Wada Kameji picked up another glass of wine and said to Sakai Naoji: "Sakai-kun, the imperial soldiers all like our Japanese sake, and its delicious taste is deeply embedded in you and me. In the bone marrow. But did you know? The young marshal in China once talked about it like this: "Japan is rich in sake, but it has no stamina, which symbolizes the unsustainability of national strength."
I used to think this was a propaganda argument, but after personally experiencing China’s seemingly endless war potential, I began to think this person was really scary. He can really see the essence. He is a once-in-a-hundred-year figure among the Chinese people and the greatest enemy of the Japanese Empire! "
At this time, the powerful enemy he was talking about had just given full play to Ryoma's spirit and had used it on Fujiwara Asaka.
Fujiwara Asaka, who woke up from the strenuous exercise, was soft and weak. This man had just used his experienced experience and full passion to let her fully experience the joy of being a woman without any sense of violation. The two factors of becoming a wife for the first time and being conquered by a foreign man caused her to be repeatedly intertwined with fear, shame, and sweetness. She was powerless before Zhang Hanqing's attempt to score twice.
Zhang Hanqing carefully looked at the face under him, which became more delicate due to his moisturizing: "Miss Asaka, you are the most beautiful Japanese woman I have ever seen, more beautiful than the cherry blossoms. But it is not appropriate to use cherry blossoms as a metaphor. , because it suddenly bloomed and fell completely overnight. I really don’t understand why your people like it so much? It is a symbol of the impermanence of the country’s destiny!”
Although Fujiwara Asaka looked resigned, she expressed serious protest against Zhang Hanqing's words. She said calmly: "Life is short, and you should live as brightly as cherry blossoms. Even if you die, you should leave decisively!"
"Oh, I understand. You mean you want to die, but also want to die, right?" Zhang Hanqing regained his courage: "The time just now was just a small test. Only when you try it yourself will you know that we Chinese men It’s a strong drink, far more powerful than your Japanese sake!”
Japan is a strange country, and its people are also very strange. One moment, it can be a fearless warrior, and the next moment, it can be docile enough to die. No wonder some people describe the Japanese as carp: before the chef cooks the fish, the carp lies motionless on the chopping board, symbolizing the spirit of Bushido. When faced with power, Japanese women are no less resolute and decisive than men.
Zhang Hanqing was deeply touched by this. Just like Fujiwara Asaka, from the time he entered to the time he exited, despite all the discomforts that a new woman would inevitably experience: worry, uneasiness, shame and pain, she remained silent and motionless throughout the whole process, letting him do what he did. The crispness of her sacrifice and the perfection of her cooperation are comparable to those of a long-time daughter-in-law. Such citizens are actually very scary. They will either go to heaven or hell.
This is what Japan was like in history.
But Naoji Sakai doesn’t think so. He was also deeply influenced by Japanese expansionism, but the difference was that he was poisoned more deeply. Even though the war had gone to this point, he still felt that it was just a small defeat. In the history of Japanese imperial expansion, some minor setbacks were normal.
Like in the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army commanded by Nogi Hidenori experienced many defeats before finally frightening the Russians with their ferocity and achieving a great victory. In the minds of these professional soldiers, war is just a game that can be stopped at any time depending on the situation. There is no need for politicians to step in until the last minute
Even the ferocious Wada Kameji was speechless at his chief of staff’s argument. This was a gamble with the future of the soldiers and the country! If the army continues to fight to the end with the People's Army, it will eventually ruin the future of the empire's army.
"Sakai-kun, the war cannot be left to chance. Good luck will always run out. After all, our country's strength cannot support our consumption like this. I'm not pouring cold water on this. Many businessmen in Tokyo are already selling war bonds, and the market is experiencing inflation. It's also very powerful. If we continue to fight, we will gain nothing except leaving a lot of corpses in North Korea. The bravery of the imperial soldiers is not only reflected on the battlefield, but also has a view of the overall situation."
It was with this sense of mission that after he was lucky enough to survive, he felt that instead of failing to become a qualified general, it would be better to go to the military academy to rejuvenate. After the war, the president of the Imperial Japanese Army University was born in a headquarters in Korea. However, the advice he gave the students with lessons learned from his own personal experience caused them to move from one extreme to the other, which probably no one expected.

Chapter 999 All-out Attack
Facing the overwhelming tank cluster, the Japanese First Division immediately fell into a huge crisis. In just half an hour, the main forward positions had been breached, and in some places they had been crushed by tanks several kilometers deep.
The most frightening thing is that some tanks are not in a hurry to advance in depth, but try to expand the results of the battle and attack horizontally along the anti-tank trenches.
Once the tanks broke through the trenches, they also posed a strong obstacle to the establishment of the Japanese infantry defense line. Because it was night, the originally inconvenient battlefield was shrouded in the sound of countless artillery fire. Basically, the communication at the brigade level had been cut off, and each infantry squadron quickly fell into a situation of fighting on its own.
It is said that they are fighting independently, that is, each department gathers the troops that can be contacted together and stands in the trenches of their respective defense areas, waiting for reinforcements. Thanks to the good training level of the Japanese army, especially the excellent personal abilities of the junior officers, although the entire battlefield was filled with gunfire, the Japanese defense line did not collapse across the board, but instead resisted in an organized manner in various places.
“But for the middle and high-ranking officers of the Japanese army, this situation is terrifying. We don’t know the People’s Army’s strategic vision or strength, but the pressure from the front is visible. The combat capabilities of the People's Army on the opposite side were astonishing. They attacked from both sides, one on the left and the other on the other. They were unstoppable. They could only call for support from their neighbors.
The neighbor on the left is the 104th Division. This is a unit composed of retired veterans and some recruits. It has never seen blood, so Lieutenant General Wada Kameji does not place his hope on them, but only intends to let them give a feint to attack himself. The buffer of his subordinates made the left wing position moderately stable. His greatest hope is the 4th Division on the right.
The 4th Division is actually not capable of fighting. Osaka is a city with the strongest commercial atmosphere in Japan. Soldiers with merchant backgrounds are good at calculations and are often unwilling to sacrifice their lives. The 4th Division formed here has been known as the "Deceitful Merchant Division" due to its poor performance since the Russo-Japanese War. ". Only when things go smoothly can its bravery be fully demonstrated.
In the war some time ago, all the divisions lost troops and generals, including the 3rd Division, which is famous for fighting tough battles. On the contrary, the 4th Division was able to escape unscathed from all kinds of unfavorable situations with minimal losses, which can be regarded as a kind of ability.
"However, compared to the newly formed 104th Division, it is still one of the first seven divisions formed by the empire, and its equipment and training are excellent. As the saying goes, if the 1st Division is defeated, it will also be affected. Hishikari Takashi is not a short-sighted guy.
But now Hishikari Takashi has really tried his best. When the sound of artillery fire was heard from the 1st Division's position, he ordered the 4th Division to approach it cautiously.
But as soon as his army moved, an army from the opposite side inserted into the gap between the two teams. The exchange of fire has lasted for such a long time, and the middle and high-level leaders of both sides have been on good terms with each other for a long time. He knew that this was the 18th Army of the People's Army.
?According to pre-war research on Commander Shang Zhen, he was once a tiger general in the Jin army and a very capable officer in the People's Army. Although he was not from the Feng clan and joined the People's Army at the last moment, Zhang Hanqing's trust in him was unprecedented. In the North Korean offensive war, his army's performance was also quite eye-catching, and the transition between offense and defense was quite in place.
The existence of this army made Hisashi Karitaka dare not be careless.
Because almost at the same time, the three divisions of the 18th Army rolled over from several directions, with great potential to break through its defense line. When the equipment is roughly balanced, the People's Army, a full force of more than 47,000 people, is pressing across the line, enough to make the 22,000-man 4th Division breathless.
Therefore, even though Lieutenant General Wada Kameji personally called him, he still couldn't send even a single brigade to reinforce - he didn't know if he could protect himself, so what with this small amount of troops?
The final distress call went to the Japanese Korean Army Headquarters, and General Nanjiro personally answered the call.
"Wada-kun, are you sure this is a full-scale attack by the Chinese Army? There is no fighting on the eastern front, and no enemy traces have been found in the nearby Central | Central Government. The Chinese Army only launches a strong attack on you?" Nanjiro couldn't figure out the tactics of the People's Army.
"Hai! The two elite troops of China's 27th and 29th are attacking our army from the front. Their firepower is extremely powerful. They also dispatched a huge tank force! Our position cannot be held and we urgently need support!" Lieutenant General Wada Kameji Because of the critical situation, he spoke much faster than usual.
"You have to hold on to the position. We need to study and judge what the purpose of the Chinese army is? Could it be their usual method of siege and reinforcements!" Nanjiro has read many military books, and has really studied and judged the fighting style of the People's Army, and he has indeed discovered it. This is the opponent's tried and tested tactic.
Because the 1st Division is located on the left wing, it not only has the west coast of North Korea for support at sea, but also has reinforcements on the left and right. It is unreasonable for the People's Army to inexplicably attack it with heavy troops. First, the army itself is brave in style, and second, even if it captures its position, it will have little impact on the battle situation.Pyeongtaek has convenient transportation, and the newly transferred 10th Division and a brigade of the Marine Corps are stationed there.
Pingtaek is only twenty miles away from the sea, and the heavy artillery of the combined fleet can easily blast the pursuing troops into powder. This is not the law of war!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? knowing that the strategic goal cannot be achieved but still investing in the two northern heavy-armed forces that even the Japanese army is fearful of, what is the conspiracy behind it? Thinking that the young marshal is not far away in Seoul, he has no reason to fight for his own capital like this!
According to the research on the young marshal's military use, Zhang Hanqing basically used old-fashioned tactics, either besieging the city for reinforcements, or using heavy troops to kill chickens with a bull's-eye. Basically, he used superior forces to attack weak links. This method, which does not require much fighting talent, is particularly effective in dealing with the Japanese.
Because the Japanese Army also used this trick, but China was too powerful and there was no loophole for them to exploit.
This also shows the impact of a country’s industrial strength on war. No matter how many methods you have and how good you are in fighting and strategizing, I only have one trick, and that is to rely on excellent equipment and larger numbers to overwhelm you. There aren't many tricks to follow, it's a conspiracy.
But the more this happens, the more overwhelming it becomes.
The advantage of the Japanese Army is that it is well-trained and therefore generally has strong combat effectiveness. The disadvantage is that it is impossible to maintain a large number of troops in peacetime. One result of this hard struggle on the front line is that the initial troops were able to fight to the death with the superior troops of the People's Army, but the newly recruited troops were much inferior in comparison.
This will be okay, because after all, the second round is mainly composed of retired personnel, and the third round is even worse.
The number of reserves in a country is also an important factor in determining whether it has lasting combat effectiveness. Unfortunately, China is a country with a large population. Japan considers the Korean battlefield to be a high-intensity battlefield. For China, after achieving a good start, the remaining The war is just a training exercise.
How many troops each military region sends will take half a year to rotate! In this time, millions of soldiers can be mobilized!
This allows Japan to fully understand what a big country with a vast territory is!
This battle was just Zhang Hanqing’s attempt to vent his anger on his comrades who had been killed before the armistice, without any strategic intention. In his opinion, once the Japanese government agrees to its armistice conditions - and it will eventually agree, Deputy Commander Wang Meng and his comrades will not be able to rest in peace.
In this battle, the People's Army will use its unparalleled superior firepower to inflict maximum damage on the 1st Division, and vent the anger of the Chinese people against the Japanese army with steel and gunpowder.
That’s all.
"If Nanjiro knew that he thought so much, he would be angry to death, and Lieutenant General Wada Kameji would also feel ashamed of his panic.
But at this moment, he was furious at Nanjiro's belated calmness: "Chief of Staff, our opponent is composed of two elite armies. Our defensive pressure is extremely heavy. We are helpless against China's tanks! I need heavy artillery. support, and the addition of the Empire’s First Tank Regiment!”
His request was obviously too much, so that Nanjiro had to explain to him carefully: "Your Excellency, Commander of the Wada Division, the use of the Empire's 1st Tank Regiment must be absolutely cautious. This is our first armored force, and its relationship For the honor and disgrace of the Imperial Army, there can be no mistakes!
As for the heavy artillery, on this night, we cannot let them enter your position in time, nor can we guarantee their safety. But I promise, I will send them reinforcements as soon as daybreak! The current task of your department is to stop the China Army's attack at all costs. No matter what, the Imperial Army can no longer retreat! "
We can’t blame Nanjiro for being stingy and cautious. In fact, the Japanese tank troops are too delicate, so that in the official history of the Japanese army, there have been many strange incidents of soldiers covering tanks. In particular, the Army spent a lot of money to build this force that has finally come to the forefront of armoring. It is even more expensive than gold. It is just an existence. If you want to use it, Nanjiro will probably have to ask for permission from the country first.
And the Japanese heavy artillery itself has insufficient traction, making it difficult to transport normally, let alone maneuvering in this icy and snowy night? At this time, the result of the backwardness of the automobile industry was reflected. At least the artillery of the People's Army could maneuver at any time - but if it was not able to fight, there was a big question mark. On the contrary, the corps and divisions of the 27th and 29th armies The artillery regiment can do it.
The elite is reflected here.
Wada Kameji was helpless, he knew that Nanjiro was telling the truth. No commander will easily divide his troops and add resources when the enemy's situation is unknown, especially when the opponent he faces has more obvious advantages.
“And he only received requests for help from the brigade commanders or wing commanders. On this night with inconvenient transportation, officers at all levels were unable to effectively detect their subordinates. It was normal for some chaos and emergency situations to occur.
With the combat effectiveness of the First Division, the situation will not worsen as the subordinates said. He himself shouted this, which was nothing more than a foreshadowing of the merits and demerits after the war.
The ministries have encountered too many defeats. There always seem to be unexpected battles on the Korean battlefield. His first choice can only be to defend. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Emergency situations are normal.

Chapter 1000 Encirclement
The situation is actually more serious than Wada Kameji knows.
The main reason is that the tanks of the People's Army are traveling too fast. According to the pre-war deployment, the tank troops should penetrate into the hinterland of the Japanese army. The flat land in the west is where it gallops, invincible. Except for a few main positions that were compressed together and were avoided as required in advance, the other lines of defense collapsed at the first touch and did not stop until the southward attack was 30 miles away.
It’s not that the People’s Army is too tenacious, but that the action is too sudden and the tanks are too powerful.
Since they have never found an effective way to restrain tanks, the upper echelons of the Japanese army can only use explosives, trenches, and mines to educate soldiers about the limitations of tanks. However, the lower-level Japanese officers and soldiers who have personally experienced their power have been afraid of them for a long time. Guilt cannot be eliminated, and it affects others.
Especially when the unstoppable tank, rumbling and spitting flames, appeared in front of him, his indomitable momentum extinguished everyone's courage in an instant. Except for the troops who were directly killed and crippled, the other teams chose to stay away from it.
At this time, the Japanese army still did not realize that the People's Army had cast a wide net for it. More than a hundred infantry fighting vehicles accompanied the tanks deep into the hinterland, assaulting thousands of soldiers and placing them in their rear areas. After the people's army on the left and right sides successfully encircles the enemy, all enemy forces within the circle will become turtles in the urn.
The premise is that the retreating Japanese army cannot break through this line of defense, but can such a small force that arrived temporarily withstand the test? No one knew the answer until the battle began on March 15.
The darkness and chaos allowed this unit to calmly set up simple fortifications for an hour, and then faced the retreating Japanese army like a tide.
Within this hour, the Japanese command finally obtained some sporadic but useful information. Faced with the fact that the People's Army on the Western Front committed four armies to capture the First Division, even the most obtuse person would understand its purpose.
The Japanese Korean Command, which focused on defense, could do little about this situation. Launch an all-out attack on the People's Army on the opposite side to achieve the goal of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao? It shouldn't be realistic.
First, it has no strategic offensive plan at all, and the temporary offensive can only be a large-scale firefight; second, since the People's Army can carry out this attack carefully, it must be prepared to fight on other lines of defense. It is unknown whether Haohui will have main attack points in other locations.
Assistance is not realistic, at least it is true that friendly forces do not dare to act rashly at night. The Japanese army, not accustomed to night fighting, had to wait until dawn before launching targeted operations. This night was destined to be a disaster for the First Division.
Of course, the word "retreat" does not exist in Wada Kameji's dictionary. Without Chief of Staff Nanjiro's advice, he knew he could no longer retreat. At present, the area controlled by the Japanese army only accounts for about 40% of the Korean Peninsula. If it continues to retreat, how can the Army, which has always been regarded as a weak point by the emperor, have the face to explain to the people? From now on, it will be completely defeated by the navy.
Although the information was poor, he believed that his soldiers would not retreat without permission. Escape at night is far more dangerous than standing firm in the trenches. Besides, the glory of the imperial soldiers has no place for deserters to survive. The status of a family of soldiers who died in battle and those of deserted soldiers is very different in the hearts of the people. This kind of pressure is enough. Make soldiers willing to die.
Therefore, Wada Kameji issued an order to the various regiments he could contact to hold their positions and wait for dawn. This order was implemented unconditionally. Later, when Wada Kameji returned home, he spent the rest of his life repenting of this order.
The Japanese army faithfully carried out this order, but soon they were divided and surrounded by the people's army that surged up like a tide.
As before, the People's Army is not fond of fighting. Their purpose in this battle is to surround as many enemies as possible, then trap and annihilate them. Often a division of troops surrounds a defensive position, and then automatically separates into a regiment to surround without fighting, while other troops continue to charge forward. An hour later, the sound of artillery on the battlefield became quieter, and the sound of gunfire was often limited to areas where fighting was really unavoidable.
However, Wada Kameji felt that the position was getting closer and closer to his headquarters. He instinctively asked the front line to report the situation. However, except for the nearby brigades that could be contacted, other units had unknown situations. The telephone lines of the two brigades ahead of the sudden attack had been cut off.
Then his chief of staff, Colonel Sakai, came over in panic and reported that less than three miles behind his headquarters, the Guards had engaged in a firefight with a People's Army of unknown origin.
This surprised Wada. There is a distance of thirty miles from the front line to his headquarters. More than 20,000 elite Japanese troops are not just decorations. How can the Chinese army calmly attack here? They can't run this far in an hour, unless they are mechanical troops. Thinking of the teams that had lost contact, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
From the map, the missing teams are concentrated on an almost straight route on the right wing, which was also the main attack direction of the People's Army armored forces at first.
At first, the tanks of the People's Army almost reached the rear of the First Division, but somehow they retreated back. He thought it was the fault of one of the teams along the line - although the tanks were powerful, they were marching at night. Fighting is only much more difficult than infantry. It is certain that they would not dare to go deeper without support.
Did the Chinese actually leave a team here? From the map, it looks like a place called Songtan. The source of the Bukhan River flows north from here and flows into the Hongcheon River. The tanks cannot move freely here. I'm afraid that's why they fought back, right? From here to the west, not far away is Asan Bay, which leads directly to the Yellow Sea. The area was crisscrossed with ravines, making it impossible for larger warships to enter.
not good! The Chinese want to cut off our army's retreat! This was Wada Kameji's subconscious reaction.
If Pingze was not still in the hands of the Japanese army, he would probably take a breath: "What a huge appetite!" Of course, he would be even more shocked if he knew the truth. But even if there is a retreat for him, he can't take more troops.
The Japanese army, which was trapped in a separate battle situation, had no one to organize an effective front to eliminate the threat of this thousand-man team. The various brigades and squadrons that had been frightened by the tanks only dared to huddle in relatively strong trenches and refuse to defend. It makes the actions of the People's Army much more convenient.
Let go of the strong Japanese defense line - this kind of defense line will be cleared one by one later - and keep marching in depth, giving full play to the strength of the People's Army and surrounding as many enemies as possible , which is the military deployment before the war.
Wada Kameji felt that he could not underestimate the enemy. He called Matsushima, the captain of the 57th Regiment under his command: "Send troops to destroy this enemy force quickly. It will interfere with our military deployment!"
He was right, but Matsushima didn't understand the urgency. As he was dividing his troops to stabilize the position to meet the People's Army's offensive, he was not worried about the combat effectiveness of this army at all. He arranged a large group of troops to complete the task of extermination. The same infantry versus infantry, with similar numbers, he had great confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers.
He has fought several cruel battles, and no one knows where his confidence comes from? This decision killed him and almost killed Wada.
Because of the asymmetry of information, he had no idea that although this thousand-man People's Army was indeed infantry, it was accompanied by at least four self-propelled artillery pieces and one tank.
It was not intentional, but because of the instability of the quality of vehicles in this era. During the 30-mile straight attack, some vehicles were inevitably damaged, not necessarily due to the Japanese counterattack, but they themselves would also break down.
That tank had difficulty moving due to damage to its power and was unable to keep up with the group operations. It was simply temporarily included in the infantry establishment and used as a movable defensive position. The addition of the four self-propelled artillery was to take into account the subsequent counterattack of the Japanese army. Zhongneng can give this force a certain amount of firepower support.
The next evolution does not require much writing. The general conclusion is that this small force of a thousand people supported by mobile artillery beat the entire Japanese brigade to the point of losing its teeth. Do you want to take down a temporary position that has been slightly arranged with just a few machine guns? At least in frontal combat, the gun troops cannot deal a fatal blow to the advancing self-propelled artillery!
In order to report to the division commander, the Japanese captain who was ordered to attack attacked several times and suffered repeated defeats, giving full play to the "gummy candy" fighting spirit of the Japanese army.
If it was a purely offensive battle, perhaps he could be praised for his heroic behavior, but considering that fighter planes are life, this approach cannot be forgiven.
Perhaps the clutter at night interfered with Wada Kameji's memory, or perhaps the burning military situation affected his intervention in this matter. Anyway, no one reported back the latest status of this unit in the next few hours until the 27th Army's The sharp knife troops inserted into the junction of the rear of the 1st Division and the 104th Division like a wedge and encircled them eastward.
The advancing People's Army attacked, attacked, and attacked again regardless of losses, breaking a series of counterattacks or blockades by the Japanese army. At the same time, the first section of the 28th Army also advanced along the Bukhan River towards its source, and met with the thousand-man team responsible for blocking.
The defenders suddenly became stronger. Captain Songdao, who was still tirelessly directing the remaining soldiers to attack, knew that the situation was over and asked for support in embarrassment.
It was at this time that Wada Kameji felt that something bad was going on. After two pincer attacks by the People's Army, which seized the favorable terrain first, more than half of the First Division had been put into their pocket.
Ignoring that damn Matsushima, Wada Kameji nervously studied the situation: the 4th Division has not made any rescue operations yet, and there is heavy artillery fire over there, so it must be in a hard fight; the commander of the 104th Division on the left is actually there. The news was just a request for help from him. At this time, he only had more than half a brigade of troops at his disposal, and his artillery regiment was already trapped in his pocket.
More than 10,000 troops are surrounded by the Chinese Army. Do you want to use the nearly 6,000 people at hand to carry out a counterattack before the People's Army encircles them? Wada was confused for a while.

Chapter 1001 Let every soldier die in battle with dignity
Lieutenant General Wada knew that if he did well, the Japanese troops waiting for work would be able to cooperate with the troops at the front and catch the People's Army by surprise; of course, if he did not do well, he would be trapped together with his division headquarters.
There have been three cases where the Japanese Army Division Headquarters have been imprisoned on the Kanto Prefecture and Korean battlefields. Four Lieutenant Generals, Harukai Akai, Juichi Terauchi, Ichiro Hayashi, and Hikosuke Fukuda, and Lieutenant General Chotaro Murakaze were killed. Commander. If he were not careful, there would be no doubt that he would become the sixth Army Lieutenant General.
His life was not a pity, but the empire could no longer take the risk of losing a lieutenant general division commander. That would be the biggest mockery of the Japanese army. They could use Chinese raids to explain and cover up the previous losses, but it is unforgivable that such high-ranking officers were killed when King Kunihiko mobilized the whole country to confront the People's Army.
As a high-ranking imperial officer, to a certain extent, his life is not his own.
In the end, he chose to break out quickly before the People's Army closed up, saving the empire's reputation at the least cost. Of course, he still had a lingering thought of reuniting with the Japanese army in Pingtaek after dawn, fighting the People's Army again, and waiting for an opportunity to rescue his men.
I don’t know if he did the right thing, but after he tried hard to break out of the encirclement of the People’s Army, almost 20,000 Japanese soldiers in the encirclement did not come out again.
At this time, most of the Japanese troops did not know that their commander had retreated. They nervously faced off against the People's Army in the dark, completely isolated due to being divided and surrounded. Fortunately, officers at all levels were present, the command system was still intact, and the ammunition and supplies in the trenches were sufficient, creating good conditions for their persistence.
It is this kind of good condition that allows the 20,000 Japanese troops to dare to fight against trapped animals, which in turn reduces the pressure on the People's Army's sniper troops. Because according to the assumption, blocking a swarm of retreating Japanese troops would be the biggest disaster in the war - the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is definitely worthy of respect, and its stubbornness without fear of death can make any shooter weak, unless he is born cold-blooded .
The 27th Army was prepared to sacrifice its armored infantry of more than a thousand people.
Of course, the few brigade commanders and commanders of the Japanese army knew a lot about Wada Kameji. After all, they still had radio stations to contact him, but at this time, they did not dare to break through without authorization.
First, Hotan left in a hurry and did not explain the next step of the battle in detail; second, the communication conditions were lagging behind, and in addition, communication troops could not be easily sent out for contact at night. Breaking out in separate battles is inconsistent with tactical regulations. Instead, it is more appropriate to huddle in a lair and wait for reinforcements.
Zhang Hanqing was overjoyed at this result, and Fujiwara Asaka could hear his ecstasy through the warm quilt. He excitedly ordered on the phone: "The follow-up troops will follow immediately and must build an iron cylinder-like encirclement before the Japanese army breaks through! We must block the Japanese army's rescue at all costs! Deputy Commander Wang Meng and his more than 600 martyrs It’s up to you whether you can avenge me! The existence of these Japanese troops will also be the best weight in negotiations!”
Ji Yiqiao faithfully carried out this order. In fact, they had already made a decision before and implemented it resolutely. Now, it's just about making this execution stronger.
A few days ago, the two armies of the support headquarters had quietly moved forward to prepare for various possible reactions from the Japanese army. The Northeast Air Force has also concentrated the fighter planes of the 10th and 11th Wings on standby, and the Bohai Fleet has also strengthened the defenses of the Bohai Bay Rim and Qingdao from the west coast of North Korea, Dalian to Weihai.
As for the Shenyang Military Region, it has been in a state of first-level combat readiness since the war began.
The rear is actively preparing for war, and the front is even more intense in comparison. When the People's Army completed the encirclement of the Japanese First Division, it immediately made preparations to hold on at various strategic locations overnight, and the Japanese troops within the encirclement also took the time to reinforce their positions. Despite the continuous or monotonous sound of gunfire in countless places, the two sides generally maintained a state of confrontation with each other.
Because the People's Army is already at a strategic advantage, in this case a hasty attack at night will weaken this advantage and cause a lot of damage, which is not worth it. Anyway, the food is already in his mouth. It depends on Zhang Hanqing when and how to eat.
This night is destined to be long and thrilling. After hearing the news that the First Division was besieged, King Kunihiko and Nanjiro discussed the situation all night long, while Zhang Hanqing slept soundly with the beauty in his arms.
In early spring in North Korea, the morning is exceptionally bright compared to other seasons, and the sky breaks much earlier than in other seasons. The commander of the Wada Kame Division, who also had not slept all night, was anxiously watching the People's Army's defense line not far away, accompanied by the commander of the Pyeongtaek garrison. Behind it was his comrade who had been with him for many years. Separated by a distance of just a few kilometers, they were so far apart.
In fact, after midnight, they also wanted to take advantage of the People's Army's unstable foothold to launch a strong attack to open up a retreat route - it was unrealistic to turn defeat into victory. His biggest wish now was to allow his own officers and soldiers to withdraw to the maximum extent. However, the People's Army's ferocious counterattack and persistence regardless of casualties proved to him that the People's Army did not lack the experience of night fighting and combat morale.
I originally wanted to gather the troops and make another effort after dawn, but when I saw the layers of obstacles on the opposite side and the skillful movements of the People's Army who were constantly reinforcing the fortifications, especially when I confirmed that the opponents were China's two first-class integrated armies, He hesitated again. Based on experience, the People's Army on the opposite side must put at least 20,000 troops. You must know that the distance above Jiangyuan is only a few kilometers!
At this time, the Japanese military headquarters still did not know the intentions of the People's Army. However, it is a consensus that we cannot just watch the First Division fall into despair. This is the most capable of the most elite troops in the empire!
However, Nanjiro's idea of ????dispatching troops and generals was disrupted by a new round of offensive by the People's Army. In the early morning of that day, all frontline troops of the People's Army launched a full-scale attack on a front line of 200 kilometers from west to east.
Although under the tight defense of the Japanese army, the bombardment with more than 100,000 artillery shells as a cover in a morning failed to make any progress, but they wanted to send troops to rescue them, because they still could not figure out the intentions of the People's Army.
Precious time passed little by little, and the People's Army completed the preliminary reinforcement of the fortifications. The 27th and 29th armies used nearly 4 times the strength of the First Division to firmly trap it! Once it has the confidence to withstand attacks from the periphery, it is inevitable to tighten the encirclement.
In fact, the Korean People's Army Headquarters is already planning to do this.
After Ji Yiqiao learned about Zhang Hanqing's plan, he immediately cooperated and ordered more troops. Hu Zhen, the commander of the 3rd Army who learned the combat goal, firmly proposed to be the first to attack. He said to Ji Yiqiao excitedly: "The first division is to massacre The culprit of the severely injured people in the People's Army was finally trapped by the young commander's trick. Due to the reasons, the 3rd Army has the unshirkable duty to attack first!"
After receiving the approval, the 7th Division, which had been eager to try, could no longer hold back. Zheng Dianqi, who had been promoted to Chief of Staff of the Army, also took the initiative to ask for help: "Commander, Commander Wang Meng is a brother of the 7th Division. I want to avenge him and other brothers. This is what the 7th Division should do! I am willing to lead the 7th Division to start and create a stable defense line!"
In order to properly capture the First Division, Chaosi put in a lot of effort. The attack was not started immediately after the encirclement was formed, and the attack was carried out from south to north instead of from north to south so as not to irritate the nerves of the Japanese army, because the best time to gradually eat it was to launch a large-scale feint attack across the entire line.
As the front advances northward, the depth left for the Japanese rescue forces to attack is constantly widening. In this way, the rescue will be time-consuming and laborious, creating an opportunity for the final annihilation of this force.
Yes, total annihilation! This is the consensus of Zhang Hanqing, Ji Yiqiao and other senior commanders. Originally, the two armies were at war, each fighting for its own master. Victory, defeat, and casualties were inevitable. As long as politics requires it, the war can be ended gentlemanly at any time, and both sides can still gain the respect of the other.
"However, the Japanese braved the injustice of the world and committed an evil act that was despised by civilized people, such as killing prisoners, which immediately aroused Zhang Hanqing's sensitive nerves. In his hands, failure, loss of territory, and death can be tolerated, but such limitless atrocities cannot occur! Crimes against humanity such as the Three Days in Port Arthur and the Nanjing Massacre cannot appear before him again.
After that time, he swore that the Korean War would never stop until this shame was washed away! We cannot talk about the Chinese people standing up without scaring the Japanese! If you can't retaliate tooth for tooth and blood for blood, this life will be in vain!
Therefore, the outcome of the Japanese army trapped in the encirclement is certain. No matter how much force the Japanese army uses to rescue, China will firmly control the situation at all costs: the Japanese army dispatches one division, the People's Army will reinforce one army, and two One, double! This revenge must be avenged!
According to the survey on the front line, the cost of killing this team is completely affordable: the plains are very suitable for tank operations, which is a nightmare for infantry; the main Japanese army has been divided into several pieces, and the mobility of the People's Army is not affected, which is very suitable for fighting in It forms an absolute advantage locally; more importantly, its artillery wing is surrounded alone and cannot provide fire support to other infantry units, which is the most lethal.
When Nanjiro was finally persuaded by Wada Kameji's strong request and sent his reserve division and tank regiment to join the battle group, the battle situation had become more difficult.
In the north of Pingze, the People's Army already has five military groups eyeing the First Division. Such a group, including China's only two armored divisions, is a frightening force on the Korean Peninsula, whether offensive or defensive.
Wada Kameharu also knew this power. He bluntly said in a telegram to the captains of the 1st Brigade and the 1st and 49th Wings who took over his command: "Our division has been trapped in a tight siege, and there is great resistance to external rescue. , I hope that officers and soldiers at all levels will be determined to die, give full play to the bravery of our invincible locust army, and be loyal to the empire!"
At the same time, both Zhang Hanqing and Ji Yiqiao believed that the time for a decisive battle had arrived. The day the First Division was destroyed would be the dawn of the war on the Korean Peninsula. They jointly issued a telegram to the Korean People's Army on the front line: "Let every enemy soldier die with dignity!"
Many people are destined to never see the dawn. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)We have fallen into a tight siege, and there is great resistance to external rescue.

Chapter 1002 Seoul Negotiations
From March 22 to 25, the Japanese army launched four large-scale offensives against the People's Army defense forces in Pyeongtaek North. After leaving more than 4,000 corpses, especially the tank fleet built with all the country's industry It finally came to an abrupt end after being destroyed.
It is also a tank. Also in the Korean battlefield, the People's Army's T-20 and Type 27 both shined. The Japanese army's "thin-skinned meat-stuffed" tanks suffered a devastating blow as soon as they were launched. Unlike them holding it like a treasure and huddled behind the infantry, the People's Army directly fought it with tanks.
??Slow speed, small caliber, and thin armor. If these are considered major weaknesses, then the gasoline engine is a fatal flaw.
Because of the progress of the war, the Japanese army's 18-ton "Trial No. 1" was quickly mass-produced. After mobilizing almost all machinery companies, the Japanese army, which was battered and beaten in the Korean battlefield, finally formed a large-scale tank unit - the First Tank Regiment.
Originally, it wanted to make a stunning appearance like its Chinese counterparts, but under the strong insistence of Lieutenant General Wada Kameji, it still entered the battle against the 27th Division. However, once it takes action, its weaknesses are undoubtedly exposed.
At the same kilometer, China's Type 27 can destroy its armor from the front, and it is helpless against the Type 27 even at 300 meters. There was an example of two tanks competing at close range, and the Type 27 directly crashed into a Japanese tank.
"The gasoline engine is not suitable for the cold Korean battlefield, but its industrial capacity is limited and it cannot produce the same diesel engine. You know, under the same volume, the power of a diesel engine is much greater than that of a gasoline engine, so the Type 27 naturally has an advantage in terms of power output.
"In many individual battles, the Japanese tanks were unable to escape the Type 27 battle, and fell into the embarrassing situation of being unable to escape, being defeated and unable to catch up.
The flammable problem of gasoline is particularly obvious. Japanese tanks, which were originally weak in defense, often caught fire after being hit by a shot, resulting in more fire damage than gun damage. In just half an hour, the tank attack ended with the Chinese losing 6 tanks and the Japanese losing more than 50 tanks. The result of the battle was one-sided.
This also convinced German general Guderian, who took the risk to observe tank battles, to firmly believe that thicker, faster, and more powerful tanks are the magic weapon for victory on the battlefield. Later, Germany's progress in the field of high-power engines for tanks was a direct expression of this point of view.
"The Tiger tank did not use a gasoline engine in the end. It was also inspired by the disastrous defeat of the Japanese army. As a result, its results were far more brilliant than those in official history. This can be regarded as the biggest gain for him to observe.
Even the most powerful tank regiment was completely defeated. Faced with the invincible People's Army tank force, the frontline Japanese officers were helpless.
In the early days, the Japanese infantry dared to try to use human bombs to stop the tanks. Later, when they saw the pioneers being crushed and turned into meat patties under the tracks, the brave Japanese army was left with only fear. Finally, when the artillery regiment was calmly taken away, a brigade of the 49th Infantry Regiment that was close at hand actually collapsed!
Seeing that the military situation on the Korean Peninsula is so worrying, even the always stubborn Army Minister Shirakawa Yoshinori feels it is necessary for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to come forward to negotiate peace as soon as possible. Only a comprehensive ceasefire can keep the elite of the empire safe. This is basically the consensus of the army from top to bottom.
In this way, Chongguang Kui, who had an important mission, set off again to Seoul to meet Zhang Hanqing.
This time, he didn’t worry too much. The last test resulted in a fierce offensive from the People's Army, and he also knew the young marshal's personality. Therefore, when facing Zhang Hanqing again, his attitude was surprisingly good.
"Mr. Marshal, on behalf of the Empire of Japan, I am negotiating with you with great sincerity to end the war between the two sides in Korea." He said with a smile. Before coming, the always tough Ministry of War also rarely It gave him a lower limit for negotiation and made him feel that the probability of success in the peace talks was extremely high, so he became unusually confident.
"If Mr. Special Envoy still insists on the request he made last time, this negotiation will be unnecessary." Zhang Hanqing knew everything in his mind, so he spoke his mind directly - he hadn't felt so good in a long time.
"After careful consideration, our government believes that maintaining China's territorial integrity is more in line with the friendship between the two sides and reflects our country's recognition of the government of the Republic of China. Therefore, we will no longer raise the issue of Kanto Prefecture. As long as the Chinese army withdraws from North Korea "He tentatively took a step back, but still didn't have much new ideas.
"It can't be done! Thousands of miles of North Korean territory was conquered with the blood of countless Chinese athletes. There will be no concessions! Mr. Special Envoy, your sincerity seems to be very limited!" Zhang Hanqing was very dissatisfied.
"This is my personal hope. North Korea is about the face and honor of the empire. Although the fighting is endless, the Imperial Army must reflect its presence here. I think your country is not willing toAre you going to continue to be at an impasse here? China and Japan are close neighbors, and China has not yet achieved complete sovereignty and independence. It would be bad for both sides to delay. "Chongguang Kui is good at tempting.
"Mr. Special Envoy, you may have misunderstood. It was Japan who started this war in the first place, and now it wants to end it decently. This is too much to ask for! I have said a long time ago that China and Japan will do nothing without a war. It is a life-and-death contest. 'If we fight together, we will be traitors if we make peace.' These are my exact words! Demarcating the existing line of actual control between the two sides is the best way to achieve an armistice and achieve peace. Otherwise, the Chinese people have sufficient Confidence drove the Japanese army into the Tsushima Strait!"
Although he was tough, Zhang Hanqing still leaked the bottom line of the armistice. Shigemitsu Kui was very diplomatically shrewd and caught it immediately.
This is also consistent with the limit of what he is allowed to do. With the current momentum of the Chinese army, it is indeed very difficult to get them to withdraw from the occupied areas. In fact, it is the Japanese Army's extravagant hope to use the current line of actual control between the two sides as the dividing line!
The Korean battlefield was too useless, too cruel, and too chilling! Since it was destined to be impossible to reverse the defeat, it was a no-brainer to end it here decently.
"Mr. Marshal, I personally agree with your opinion of a ceasefire on the spot, but it is still very difficult to convince the country. I hope you can retreat appropriately, even to the Han River, so that China and Japan are roughly at the same level in North Korea. equal status, and this can also calm some domestic opposition and achieve an armistice between the two sides as soon as possible."
Shigemitsu Aoi is indeed a seasoned politician and speaks very well. She is probably used to bargaining in the vegetable market.
But what he met was Zhang Hanqing, who was known to be a man who, like his father, would not let go of benefits. To give in under such favorable circumstances? There are no doors! Not to mention that he is Zhang Hanqing, even any officer or soldier of the People's Republic of China will not agree to give in psychologically!
"Mr. Special Envoy, in my understanding, the cessation of the war must defeat and cripple all the main war forces, and then peace will be truly realized! Since there are still those in Japan who hope to continue the war, such a truce is just the next step. A preview of a larger-scale war. In this case, what is the meaning of this armistice? Let us continue to fight on the Korean battlefield with real swords and guns!"
Zhang Hanqing showed his tough side. Negotiations sometimes require this kind of uncompromising mentality, especially for the Japanese.
Shigemitsu Kui is helpless.
He really wants to win some benefits for the empire. What he failed to achieve on the battlefield is best to get some at the negotiation table. Even if it is leftovers, it is better than empty hands. But because of the unsatisfactory army and the overwhelmed country, his idea was shattered.
"Mr. Marshal, this is not the attitude of a responsible commander. Soldiers on both sides shed blood on the battlefield. The war has dragged down Japan's economy and disrupted China's development process. I am here to respect the Chinese territory. and an attitude of sovereignty and integrity to complete this important historical task. I hope that the young commander can seize the opportunity and quickly end this hostile relationship."
Zhang Hanqing squinted his eyes and smiled: "Mr. Special Envoy keeps saying that he respects China's territorial and sovereign integrity. If he said this before the war, I would really believe it. I think you and I both know the cause of this war, and we also know Japan still occupies our country's Taiwan Island. If it weren't for the bravery of the People's Army, Dalian and Lushun would still be under the rule of Guandong Prefecture!
Mr. Special Envoy, I also propose a package of peace plans, which is for the Japanese army to withdraw from Taiwan and China and Japan to jointly manage North Korea. This is the cornerstone of long-term peaceful coexistence between China and Japan! "
Zhang Hanqing successfully extended the topic to Taiwan. This was a thorn in his side, from his past life to this life.
Originally, according to historical trends, Taiwan would be handed over to the Republic of China government without bloodshed after Japan's unconditional surrender after World War II. For Zhang Hanqing, he did not want to invest too much effort in fighting the war to this point.
However, thinking about the evolution of "Taiwan independence" in later generations, he believed that if conditions were met, it would be better to take it back earlier. Now that Taiwan has entered the period of civilian governor-general (assimilation), the Taiwanese people who have lost the Qing government no longer have anyone to "loyalty to". ” object, the sense of national identity is declining.
As the most important base for controlling China’s thousands of miles of maritime territory, Taiwan has important strategic significance for China’s maritime rights and interests and the development of its naval power. The independence in the previous life and the Japanese occupation in this life are the cause and effect of each other.
Of course, it is impossible to take it back directly. If China’s current navy can transport troops to the other side, it will be considered a success. Strategically, Taiwan is of greater significance to Japan than North Korea is to Japan. Especially when North Korea, the stepping stone for its "go north", was taken away by the Chinese, it plays an important transit role in the implementation of the "go south" strategy.
Although China does not have the power to extend from North Korea to Taiwan at this stage, raising ideas and opinions will be of great benefit to negotiations. As the saying goes, asking for a high price and paying back on the spot is not just how it works. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)???.

Chapter 1003 The truth is within the range of the cannon
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Because the First Division is still staying there, and according to Shigemitsu Aoi's wishes, the Japanese government is very likely to agree to a truce in place. If he was really beaten to death, it would be hard for him to regret it.
Since the Japanese always come up with unrealistic conditions to "make jokes" in negotiations, I can also follow suit! Negotiation Negotiation is nothing more than "talking" and "judgment". Now that the negotiations have broken down, we can calmly arrange to destroy this Japanese army that has committed many crimes!
Shigemitsu Aoi has no right and cannot confuse the Gulf issue with the Korean armistice. Having said this, he knew that the truce expected by the countrymen was temporarily in vain. He had to tell the country the news and let the politicians in the court decide.
Needless to say, the news of the breakdown of the Seoul negotiations caused an uproar in Japan: What are the Chinese doing?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…? Do you still want to challenge the Empire about the Banwan Bay issue? It is unbearable! The empire is not so fragile!
It seems that without hurting the Chinese once, the armistice will not be in a favorable position for Japan. The army has no hope, we use the navy to give them a serious threat!
The huge combined fleet has to guard against the intrusion of its air force, so randomly detaching a fleet will be a burden that the Chinese cannot bear! Their capital is Beijing, which is closest to the Bohai Bay. If such a fleet broke into their capital, the chaos and pressure caused would be unbearable for them!
The abacus is very satisfactory, but the reality is very skinny. When the Third Fleet, which was ordered to carry out harassment, marched to the Bohai Bay in full force, they encountered the People's Army's coastal defense artillery, which was well-positioned, as well as looming submarines and an unknown number of warships lurking in the bay. The Japanese navy, which was originally unwilling to go to war and was already shadowed by the fearless fighting spirit of the Chinese aviation force, wisely only patrolled in the open sea.
In the latest plan of the People's Navy, Qingdao, Huludao and Lushun are laid out in an obtuse triangle, forming a slender defense line in front of Beijing, Tianjin and Tang Dynasty.
The main reason why the submarine base is set up in Qingdao instead of a closed space like the Bohai Sea may be to allow larger tonnage submarines to enter deep water waters;
Lushun is located at the throat of the Bohai Sea. It can be attacked and defended, and can be protected by air force or naval aviation fighter jets from Jiaozhou, Tianjin, Anshan and other places;
Huludao will be an important submarine manufacturing and maintenance base, which will be placed deep inside.
"These best ports in the north have received the most stringent protection from the army and air force when the navy itself is unable to defend them. In addition to the 155mm shore guns in the port, submarines, shallow water gunboats and offshore destroyers alternately cover each other. HNA's own fighter planes patrol the coast of China, making it impossible for the Japanese fleet, which has suffered a lot, to get close.
The Army has been defeated, and there is no need for the Navy to pay the price to engage in a war that is destined to be unwinnable, as long as it cannot and does not dare to carry out a landing battle. As for the land war, it has been proven that it cannot be won. The navy's own marines are not much stronger than the army, although they have always belittled them.
According to the secret requirements of the Navy Command, the Combined Fleet must serve as a fleet to prevent the People's Army from continuing to win, but it will not intervene at will in the Army's front. Because of the disastrous defeat in the Korean battlefield, it can be expected that the status of the army will be greatly weakened after the war. This is definitely good for the navy: the weaker the army is, the more attention the navy will receive.
With the great success of the Chinese Air Force, especially the major threat that fighter planes pose to warships, the Japanese naval community has gradually formed an idea to properly form a large aviation force after the war. Of course, this force should be affiliated with the navy, and its carrier will be an aircraft carrier.
All of this requires limited military expenditures from the Army.
Therefore, they privately requested to avoid fighting with the People's Navy to avoid possible damage, and they had already thought of an excuse for this: the navy lacks superior aviation, and also lacks the means and manpower to land, so it cannot restrain China's shore artillery force. ,air force.
Therefore, it is normal for the Chinese and Japanese armies to be locked in a stalemate and the navies to face a passive confrontation.
The war is getting bigger and bigger, and the People's Army's equipment is getting stronger and stronger.
When the war first started last year, the Bohai Fleet was supported by a few old-style light cruisers such as the "Hai Chen", a dozen shallow-water destroyers of the "Jiujiang" class, and a pseudo-aircraft carrier "Zhenhai" that existed. After a year, the first new destroyers and frigates "Dalian" class and "Lushun" class have been launched.
If the coastal areas were not threatened by the Japanese army, they could have entered the sea from the Wuhan Shipyard along the Yangtze River and directly drove to Liaodong Bay to join the battle.?.
The "K?nigsberg" class light cruiser ordered from Germany has also been launched. The trainees from the Qinhuangdao Naval Command Academy, as the first batch of Chinese sailors in China, conducted comprehensive training on the training ship named "Zheng He". Orientation learning. There is also the huge-displacement Italian Queen Elena-class battleship Roma. If the Sino-Japanese War had not started, it should be able to set sail and anchor at this time.
Although this abominable war has made great progress in China's navy, army and air force, it has also interfered with the People's Navy's desire to expect new partners to join. These two giant ships are the big guys that the Chinese people dream of, and they will play a ground-breaking role in the development of the People's Navy.
Similarly, had it not been for war, several of China's large cruisers would have had time to upgrade to "Chinese cores", and the tragedy of the "Haichen" could have been avoided to a certain extent.
Of course, it was because of this war that the People's Army, the Chinese government and the people completely opened their faces to fight with Japan. From the original hatred, fear and resentment of Japan to the current candid discussion of relations with Japan, this progress is of great significance to restoring the magnanimity of a great country.
Relative to the inaction of the Japanese Navy, the Japanese Army came under increasing pressure from high-level officials and civilians. Especially after the main force of the First Division was besieged and its life or death was uncertain, and the rescue of various units was unfavorable and unable to open the gap, even the Emperor asked in shock. His attendant, military attache Hideki Tojo:
"My first division is my arm. How can the army let it be surrounded and do nothing? What does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs say?"
When Tojo Hideki conveyed the emperor's opinions to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, everyone felt strong pressure. It is a shame for soldiers and diplomats to make His Majesty the Emperor so worried about the war situation!
Therefore, after careful consideration, the Army Ministry believes that the current Army strength in North Korea cannot fully suppress the People's Army. Therefore, it is difficult to form a strong rescue for the encircled First Division unless a larger scale is carried out. war——it is no longer realistic.
“There is only one way now, and that is to continue to negotiate to get the First Division out of trouble, end the Korean War with dignity, and give Japan’s domestic economy, which has been in desperate situation, a chance to recover.
With this current situation, even the most die-hard elements in the Army Ministry feel fear.
“But Zhang Hanqing has newly raised the issue of Bay and Bay, which is something that no one dares to agree to at the moment. Even if North Korea is corrupt like this, Wanwan is a burden they cannot bear! If the Chinese want to use the Gulf issue to talk about an armistice in Korea, then don’t even think about it!
Since the first two negotiations broke down so quickly, the Japanese decided to try to find out the limits of the Chinese and strive to end the war as soon as possible, so the Intelligence Ministry managed to inform Liao Yaquan of this arduous task.
With one body and the country attached to him, Liao Yaquan has never felt such pressure. It turns out that the war situation is already so critical! She felt ashamed that she had not done anything for the country. Naturally, this task historically fell into the hands of Fujiwara Asaka.
Now Fujiwara is the new life secretary beside the young marshal. Fujiwara, who knew that the power of life and death for individuals and families was in his hands, took great care of Zhang Hanqing and was very satisfied with him. Serving tea and pouring water, folding the quilt and making the bed are common things. The most satisfying thing is that I warm the quilt with my body in advance every night. It is really a considerate little cotton jacket.
The young marshal's affair also made several other senior generals itchy. They all joked that they would get a few of these girls from Japan after the war. It would be nice to just be warm babies, regardless of bringing glory to the country.
The young marshal’s trust in Fujiwara made Liao Yaquan feel that it was both a good thing and a crisis. She sent Fujiwara as a favor, not only as a preparatory insider, but also as a kind of target transfer. But as Zhang Hanqing favored Fujiwara, she worried that she would lose control of Fujiwara and worry that the young marshal would become alienated from her.
In fact, Zhang Hanqing rarely sees her anymore, and bits and pieces about the Korean armistice still reach his ears through Fujiwara, which is not a good sign. It seemed that it was necessary to personally tag the young marshal in order to obtain first-hand information. After all, Fujiwara had not been trained, and he did not clarify certain things to her, so he was still much weaker in asking for specific information.
There was a good opportunity in the past, but I wasted it and lost Fujiwara, a potential opponent. Alas, sometimes shyness can kill people!
???????????????????????????????????????????????????:??????????????????????????? If you don’t have a close relationship and want to send yourself out in a hurry, you have no reason, what’s the matter? Through observing Zhang Hanqing during this period, Liao Yaquan thought of a good way to get close to Zhang Hanqing, but as soon as the idea came out, she immediately blushed.
Shigemitsu Aoi came to Seoul again. He proposed to Zhang Hanqing a ceasefire method: withdraw from the fighting unconditionally and on all battlefields; restore the actual line of control between the two sides before early spring; China and Japan recognized each other's control of the Korean Peninsula and signed a peace treaty.
This news is much more sincere than before, and it actually satisfies the psychology of many people at the top of the country's political hierarchy: It is undoubtedly a huge victory for the powerful Japan to be the first to propose an armistice and for China to control more than 60% of the territory of the Korean Peninsula. . However, for Zhang Hanqing, these seemed not enough.

Chapter 1004 A bigger world
The First Division that has been eaten must be punished as it deserves. This is an important sign of China's rise as a powerful country and its influence in the world. Although it is far from being possible to "those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away", it is a necessity to pay blood debts with blood.
Our ancestors all said, "How can we repay kindness with kindness?" If the evil act of massacring the wounded Chinese soldiers is not washed away, it will be the greatest disrespect for the deceased and a great shame for the country and the army.
If you want to win the respect of others, especially those who are as bloodthirsty as the Japanese, beating them will not only hurt you, but also beat them until they have teeth all over the floor, and you will have to think twice before causing trouble. This battle was fought not only for the Japanese, but also for the Europeans and Americans: Even Japan, the largest powerful neighbor, is being fought, and you continue to control my territory as a concession and use my territory as a sphere of influence. Don't you have any idea in your heart? Forced numbers?
Although Japan’s navy still poses a certain threat, Zhang Hanqing, who decided to use the army at all costs, is not afraid of these. In the jungle era, fists were the right to speak and the truth. The Japanese fleet can only operate outside the range of the People's Army shore artillery, which profoundly shows that this era still believes in strength.
The disastrous defeat of the Japanese army in North Korea not only shocked military observers around the world, but also caused Zhang Hanqing to gradually revise his decision to conduct a war of attrition only in North Korea.
Since China can and has successfully held back all the main forces of the Japanese army, can it be considered that the quality of Japanese troops stationed in other places must have declined? Our vision cannot be limited to the Korean battlefield. If we broaden our horizons, there is a larger world to travel to.
Inadvertently, his eyes turned to Wanwan.
The tragic First World War from 1914 to 1918 fundamentally shook the authority of the Western powers to rule the colonies. After this war, the nationalism that flourished in the 19th century generally only applied to larger countries and nations, and could also apply to small and weak nations that were transformed after the First World War. Under such circumstances, freedom and free thought became all the rage, and national self-determination spread throughout the world.
In January 1918, U.S. President Wilson advocated the principle of national self-determination and later the "colonial revolution theory" advocated by Lenin spread throughout the colonies amid mutual competition.
In order to adapt to the unrest in the colonies, the gradually weakening Western imperialist powers began to make concessions to the colonies, promising greater colonial autonomy or a more enlightened system.
In the mid-1910s, Japan’s own political ecology also changed.
At the beginning of this period, Japan was in the so-called Taisho period, which was transitioning from feudal government and bureaucratic politics to party politics and parliamentary politics. In 1919, Kenjiro Tian was appointed as the first civilian governor of colonial Bay. Before taking office, he negotiated with Japanese Prime Minister Kei Hara to adopt assimilation policy as the basic policy of rule. In October of the same year, he formally announced it to the officials in the government. .
He said that the spirit of the assimilation policy is the doctrine of inland extension, which means that the Bay Area is regarded as an extension of the Japanese mainland. The purpose is to make the Bay Area people full Japanese subjects, loyal to the Japanese court, and educated and well-guided, so as to cultivate their love for the country. concept of obligation.
In the next twenty years, successive governors of the Governor-General continued this policy. In terms of specific measures, the implementation of local autonomy, the establishment of the Governor's Council, the promulgation of the Japan-Japanese co-education system and the co-marriage law, the abolition of flogging, and rewards for Japanese language, etc., have made great achievements in promoting assimilation and reducing differences, and have also changed the past. Goto Shinpei's internal affairs direction and governance policy of "taking no policy as a policy" and "just taking care of railways, vaccinations and tap water" can be called the era of assimilation policies that are completely opposite to the governance style of the first administration.
Honestly speaking, this approach is indeed effective in stabilizing the situation in Taiwan. Later, after two generations of people were nurtured, Japan's influence on Wanwan can be said to be huge. No wonder there are people like Li Mouhui and Chen Moubian emerging in endlessly. Their sense of identification has been impure since their parents. The sooner we recover, the sooner we can offset Japan's influence and harm on the Gulf.
It is true that China is currently a great power, but if it does not regain the Gulf, it will still not be considered a military power.
In addition, in terms of military, Wanwan Island and its surrounding more than 200 small islands are located between the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Africa's maritime routes all pass through the waters near the bay, and its strategic position is very important.
Therefore, foreign invaders occupied the Bay several times and attacked mainland China from the Bay.
The Netherlands invaded the bay twice in 1603 and 1622.
From 1642 to 1661, Bay Bay became a Dutch colony.
In 1626, Spain once occupied the Keelung and Tamsui areas of Wanwan.
From 1895 to 1945, Wanwan became a colony of Japan. Officially, in October 1945, the Japanese government accepted the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation, and ChinaOnly then did we regain the bay.
A few years later, the United States declared that the Gulf was an "unsinkable aircraft carrier" and occupied it, thus threatening the heart of East China
Because the de-Japanization process is incomplete and the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have not had formal exchanges for a long time, independence tendencies in Taiwan will inevitably breed. Like later generations, the Gulf, Xinjiang and Tibetan provinces have become weights for various countries to earn benefits in their interactions with China, and they are used to disgust China from time to time. The latter two are better. They can only express empty "human rights" guise, but for the Gulf, the United States often uses this banner to make matters.
The Wanwan issue should be resolved sooner rather than later, otherwise, if colonization takes too long, there will be a market for traitors like Li Mouhui. However, China is currently unable to regain it, and the Japanese will not give up easily, and the Korean issue cannot remain in such a stalemate for a long time. What should we do?
There are always more solutions than difficulties. No, our young marshal is also interested in Liao Yaquan. Of course, don't just treat him as an ordinary romantic man. After all, he has made unremitting efforts to win glory and happiness for the country. Since both of them have ideas for each other, and they both have intentions for each other, just wish them well.
Speaking of which, I am also grateful for her existence. I can use her hands to complete some tasks that are inconvenient or difficult to complete. He still admired the methods and depth of Japan's spies stationed there.
It would be nice to take the opportunity to exert influence as a sovereign country in the Gulf in advance. I just don’t know how far the Japanese can retreat in the end, but any attempt is worth it. Even if it's a false shot, we can gain more benefits in the North Korean negotiations, right?
After the battle until now, he felt a little tired. Although he said before the war that he would never make peace with Japan and that he would fight a life-and-death battle on the Northeast battlefield, that was only an expression of his external determination and internal fighting spirit. Although this war will definitely happen, there is no need to fight it. So long. A long-term, endless war that cannot be completely won is a strategic failure for both sides.
And how to skillfully use her hands to achieve his demands in North Korea and the Gulf will test the young marshal's political wisdom. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 1005 The Welfare of the Winner
I believe that no matter how arrogant the Japanese are, they should understand this truth by now. No matter how numb and stubborn the person is, they will still feel pain after being hit by an iron wall until their head is bleeding. Of course, if they don't make concessions, even just a little symbolically, the matter will never end.
The initiative now lies with China.
The Japanese will definitely find a way because they are more anxious. So, should they activate the chess piece they buried next to them, right? I was already waiting impatiently, but she didn't move. There were some things that I really couldn't take advantage of.
He was also able to keep his composure and used various means to guide Liao Yaquan to serve his counterinsurgency. She actually took a huge credit for the Korean battlefield to be fought like this. This corresponds to a poem he once wrote:
You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery,
People watching the scenery are watching you under the bridge.
The bright moon decorates your windows,
You decorate other people’s dreams.
Now, Liao Yaquan has decided not to look at the scenery alone, she wants to decorate Zhang Hanqing's dream.
Information obtained from special channels shows that Japan can no longer support this war, so how to make a decent truce is immediately and very strictly put on the table. China is mainly the young marshal's trump card, which must be figured out.
The day she decided to devote herself to her life, she had made a lot of determination and thought. The night after everything was done, she first dismissed Fujiwara Asaka on the grounds of physical discomfort, and then took over her duties. This duty was the "heated Kang" that Zhang Hanqing thought was very fragrant.
According to Zhang Hanqing’s work and rest habits, he will not let go of work until midnight. In recent years, the requirements of dealing with state affairs have made him develop the habit of going to bed late. But compared to Wang Yongjiang and others who usually have to work on cases until two or three o'clock at night, he is much luckier. Of course, getting up late is also one of his characteristics, especially when he is beautiful, "from now on the king will not go to court early" has also become a scenery.
Because of Liao Yaquan’s position with the young marshal, the young marshal once ordered that there be no taboos on her, so she could enter and leave his bedroom easily. Although there are many guards at the door, they all have a strong sense in mind. Some people and some things will be automatically invisible to them.
Looking carefully at the neatly folded quilts on Zhang Hanqing's bed, Liao Yaquan suddenly blushed, even though there was no one next to him. She still closed the window and door very solemnly, then quickly took off her clothes, shook off the quilt and got in.
There is a faint lingering fragrance of Fujiwara and Zhang Hanqing coming from the quilt, both of which Liao Yaquan is very familiar with. If you look carefully at the sheets, you can still vaguely see the traces of love. The familiar smells and unfamiliar scenes, as well as what was about to happen, made Liao Yaquan uneasy and her heartbeat increased.
After a while, it became much warmer under the quilt. Liao Yaquan's heart trembled, and with a rustling sound, a beautiful jade body was displayed on the side, and the room was filled with charming scenery.
Before Zhang Hanqing came, Liao Yaquan carefully got out his head again, carefully sorted through all the clothes, and neatly folded them at the corner of the bed, and then lay down safely again. Maybe she was too nervous. After an unknown amount of time, she closed her eyes in a daze.
Zhang Hanqing, who was exhausted, looked at the beauty on the bed in amazement and smiled. A beautiful woman like Liao Yaquan has received many bewitching trainings from the Japanese intelligence agency, which makes her whole body exude a unique and alluring fragrance.
In the past six months, Zhang Hanqing has thought about eating her countless times, but it was just a simple action on his part. Just because he also needs to use her to achieve an ulterior secret, the cat-and-mouse game is also very interesting, and there are still people around him who can fill the emotional void, so he has been waiting.
Books have always said that Japanese women have short and thick legs and short stature. However, the woman next to him, Fujiwara Asaka, is well-proportioned and tall. When her naked bodies are close together, the bow-legs common among Japanese people can hardly be seen. This is a conclusion he has come to through personal practice. Although Liao Yaquan hadn't looked at it carefully, from the way she walked, she didn't look like a Japanese woman at all.
Maybe they all have better physical development because of their superior conditions, right? Or maybe Liao Yaquan was already the best among Japanese women, and she just paid more attention to train her to be a spy. Her legs must be strong, because it would take a different price to completely overcome the bow-legged habit she acquired as a child.
Zhang Hanqing would occasionally feel lustful in his heart, so he couldn't hold back her legs under her heavy clothes for a long time. However, after tasting the two different combinations of Yoshiko Kawashima and Asaka Fujiwara, he still leaned towards the obedience of Japanese women.
He boasted that he would never force a woman in his life, but he broke his promise to Queen Wanrong. His original intention was to directly end the feudal dynasty's confusing influence on the people; when it came to Yoshiko Kawashima, he just wanted to do it alone.It was purely for emotional venting, which was anger towards a foreign country in Japan. In the former case, the queen's incomplete resistance and then to the acceptance of fate were considered satisfactory, while the latter was actually not comfortable for the body.
This is also one of the main reasons why Zhang Hanqing did not take the initiative to launch a male attack on Liao Yaquan. Everything must fall into place. After all, the feeling of being passively guided and seduced is quite beautiful. Now, she was finally going to take the initiative and get into his bed, so there was no need to be polite. When it comes to women, Zhang Hanqing really doesn't know what politeness is.
Liao Yaquan suddenly woke up when Zhang Hanqing hugged her completely. The strange feeling of her sensitive body touching her body made her shiver involuntarily, and then she saw Zhang Hanqing's majestic face attached to her indescribably. face. The moment of awakening made her clearly feel Zhang Hanqing's irregular hands and his restless and vigorous things.
Although she has been mentally prepared and has received a lot of training in this area, including seducing men, etc., in order to keep her integrity for use, she only has theoretical knowledge and no practical understanding. With thousands of thoughts, she silently accepted Zhang Hanqing's kiss on her lips. Jier was touched all over her body, and then he resolutely moved his hands on her shy areas. The trembling feeling was indescribable.
Zhang Hanqing was able to judge the anxiety of the girl next to him, and he could also touch her panic while walking around. She was obviously the one who stuck to her, but she was still afraid of sticking to her. What does that mean?
Using actions instead of words throughout the process, Zhang Hanqing struggled to break away from the shackles, and then slowly but powerfully taught her the first adult lesson. The winner is not condemned. This is also a signal that he accepts the Japanese's peace request for the failure of the Korean War on behalf of the Chinese.
On the eve of leaning down deeply to start the horse racing, he chuckled in her ear and said: "The happiest thing for me in Korea is that I defeated the Japanese and got you as my benefit." (note) Please visit our website: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 1006 Feeling proud
The next day, a refreshed Zhang Hanqing interviewed Shigemitsu Aoi. China and Japan were at loggerheads over how to cease the war, and the debate had become heated.
On the general principle of reaching an armistice on the Korean Peninsula, everyone has almost no opinion. It is undeniable that this war on the Bohai Bay side has partially disrupted the process of China's economic construction.
Due to the expansion of the war and the extension of the front, the geographically adjacent Northeast shouldered the important task of supplying guns and ammunition to the front line, and most of its heavy industrial production was converted to the production of military products.
In the Yangtze River Delta and South China, domestic businessmen have significantly reduced overseas trade due to worries that the Japanese will expand the scale of the war and block maritime trade. Some foreign-funded enterprises have also withdrawn investment in China, which has caused great disadvantages to the developing Chinese economy.
The only benefit this war brought to China was that China completed its rise with the help of Japan.
China’s great victory on land will not affect Japan’s continued dominance at sea. This will be difficult to change in the short term. But Japan did not gain the slightest advantage in this war:
Huge human casualties and the war preparation materials accumulated over the years were wiped out. The country owed a huge foreign debt to support the war. All the benefits gained from the Meiji Restoration until the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1895 were included in it, and it was also lost economically. Kanto Prefecture and northern Korea, which were crucial to Japan, were almost brought back to their original shape.
In the long run, the two sides of the war will be the result of double losses. At this point, the people of China and Japan have experienced it. Both sides feel that the country's economy is severely constrained, and both have a desire to end the war between the two sides as soon as possible.
Countries such as the United States and Britain are cautious about the Sino-Japanese war: On the one hand, Britain and the United States are happy to see the two Asian powers engage in a war of mutual attrition; but on the other hand, the continued escalation of the war has also made international businessmen very sensitive to the situation in East Asia.
Affected by this, one year after the war, investment in China dropped from 130 million U.S. dollars per year before the war to less than 40 million U.S. dollars. The two international ports of Shanghai and Hong Kong continued to be depressed, which has directly affected them. national interests. Therefore, all parties welcome Chiano's peace initiative.
Ciano served as the Sino-Japanese armistice mediator after the Japanese government made a request to the Italian government through its minister in Italy. Because of the sweet relationship between Zhang Hanqing and Ada, the relationship between this once friendly country to Japan and China also warmed up in a short period of time. As a mutually friendly country, Ciano can be the mediator.
In this case, Zhang Hanqing cannot deceive others too much, so he has no objections in the general direction. However, the war was initiated by the Japanese and would not be easily ended by their suggestion. Therefore, Zhang Hanqing has four main requirements for Chongguang Kui:
The two sides will use the existing actual control boundary as the ceasefire baseline and shall not provoke further troubles for any reason. Violation will be regarded as the beginning of war;
Japan shall compensate for losses suffered due to the war, including direct and indirect;
Japan punishes war criminals, especially the First Division Commander Wada Kameharu and his accomplices who massacred innocent wounded people;
Japan’s withdrawal from the Gulf is a prerequisite for the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations.
Except for the first one, which is a fait accompli, everyone knows it, including Japan. When it comes to competing for spheres of influence, the great powers have their own set of logics: what cannot be obtained through war will be difficult to obtain at the negotiation table. The strength of the country is the basis for everything. China's outstanding performance on the Korean Peninsula and even during the Sino-Japanese War made everyone recognize that China's existing interests should be respected.
But the last three points are completely unacceptable: Japan will only benefit from other countries, and it is impossible to make money from domestic sources, unless it is completely defeated - but it will not admit defeat, at most it will be in Korea. The peninsula is defeated or the attack is weak; it is impossible to hand over senior generals to the enemy. It would be a great shame for the country, and the government would be drowned in the saliva of the people.
As for withdrawing from the Gulf, everyone knows that this is China's random use of chips. However, Zhang Hanqing just wanted to disgust them: Japan had the final say whether to fight or not; now it is up to me to stop it!
What kind of commander is this? He is a scoundrel!
This was the anger expressed by the Japanese representative in the negotiations, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Aoi Shigemitsu: "Mr. Marshal, if you continue to talk like this, it will only increase the anger of the people of the empire and ultimately destroy this negotiation! I can't see from you that The Chinese side has no enthusiasm and tendency to negotiate. Can I understand that the Chinese side does not agree with this negotiation or is sabotaging this negotiation?"
When did this once sick country in East Asia dare to make such a noise against the Eastern Empire? This is not a negotiation, this is a lion's mouth! No wonder Aoi Shigemitsu was angry, and even Ciano felt that he should just give it up. When the war is unfavorable, both sides can calmly talk about peace talks.?She unconsciously made a speech mistake, which is typical of Japanese women.
To be honest, Liao Yaquan’s Japanese identity is well hidden. Judging from his body structure, language expression, thinking and movements, if he didn’t have the innate advantage of being a time traveler, there would be no way to detect it. But after just one conquest, her fox tail was exposed. It was an instinctive reaction that went deep into her blood.
But he didn’t expose it, and instead enjoyed the calm after the storm. State affairs and family affairs were going so well. The dissatisfaction, resentment, and hatred accumulated against Japan over the years were magically merged into one after the victory on the battlefield and the physical conquest, making him feel particularly refreshed. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 1007 A plan within a plan
After a while of fussing, Liao Yaquan took the initiative to pull his hand to her chest. She said skillfully: "Young Marshal, it's still very cold in early spring in North Korea. Don't freeze." There is no need to hide anymore; now that you have given up your body, make full use of it.
Among the several women, only Liao Yaquan was so proactive. Even Yu Yifan, who was as bold as Yu Yifan, only dared to sneak into his bed after dark. If she hadn't said something else, he would have been flattered.
While feeling Zhang Hanqing's irregular flirting, Liao Yaquan said in a vague spring mood: "Young Marshal, the weather here is too cold. When can we go back? Beijing, Dalian and Shanghai are all very good."
Hey, here comes the real theme of the whole night. Hey, I'm in need of a messenger to pass the message over.
He squeezed it evilly and said with satisfaction: "I'm happy here and don't miss Shu. How can I leave if the negotiation has no result?"
Liao Yaquan pretended to be shy, but the refusal was obviously not strong enough: "Didn't I hear that Japan has a special envoy to negotiate for an armistice? It would be great to have an armistice. Then we can leave. The weather here is really cold. "
Zhang Hanqing shook his head: "How could the Japanese be so cheap? I put forward four conditions for an armistice. All compensation and punishment are false. But I must make a breakthrough on the Gulf issue, because it is the last piece of lost land since the Republic of China. , I can't let it go without any expression." He kissed her: "It's done, I can take you there to have a look and play."
This is important information! Liao Yaquan suddenly felt that he had made great contributions to the country. It seems that the man's pillow style is still very useful. Fujiwara Asaka's methods will not make any progress except continuing to give Zhang Hanqing happiness for free, unless he sacrifices himself. Tonight's sacrifice is not small personally, but it is worth it from a national perspective!
However, it seems that some information can be squeezed from it. Liao Yaquan continued to talk: "But will the Japanese give up Wanwan?"
Zhang Hanqing is still immersed in the gentle countryside and can't extricate himself: "Of course it's impossible, unless we have a powerful navy, but that day will come soon! What I'm worried about is that the Japanese government will merge the Bay with the Bay just like it did with North Korea. As a part of their country, and their insult to us Gulf citizens, this is absolutely unacceptable.
The armistice between China and Japan must be a reconciliation on the currently controlled territory, and include its commitment to the Gulf issue - recognizing the fact that its sovereignty belongs to the Republic of China, and agreeing to our dispatch of observers to monitor its governance in the Gulf. It does not violate human rights and morality, and we negotiate and sign the time for peaceful return. On this basis, I will agree to achieve a complete armistice on the Korean Peninsula! "
Liao Yaquan expressed confusion: "Then I heard that it was you who asked for the return of the bay in order to cease the war"
Zhang Hanqing laughed loudly, pointed at her nose and gently traced the mouth of the cherry, and said with a smile: "That is a negotiation. Of course, you have to ask for a high price and pay back the money on the spot. These three are my bottom line, but If I can get more than this, I won’t let it go without eating"
Liao Yaquan made a shy gesture: "No wonder foreign newspapers say you are more ferocious than a tiger and more cunning than a fox"
Zhang Hanqing's fighting spirit arose again. He turned over and lay on her body again. The thick fire was about to ignite her again. Liao Yaquan had nowhere to hide and was unable to struggle, so he could only accept his fate and let him do whatever he wanted. But strangely, she didn't have any thoughts of resistance in her heart, but instead felt an inexplicable affection.
After the passion, Zhang Hanqing regained her composure, but she could not fall asleep. Seeing the man lying next to her sleeping like a baby, she felt a deep sense of guilt. This man is destined to be an extraordinary person. Not only does he have a prominent position, he can also decide the life or death of countless people in an instant.
But he was really kind to her, and his every move made her gradually feel differently. His caress, his dominance, his words and laughter all left increasingly clear imprints on her, especially the two fights just now, which gave her a sense of belonging that she had never felt before.
I really hope that I am not Japanese, and I really hope that I will not betray him.
What's wrong with me? Could it be that——she didn't dare to think about it. With her thin shoulders still shouldering the important task of saving the country, how could she fall into the love between her son and daughter? Now it's a fight between two countries!
However, she also thought that this information was very important and would allow the two countries to smoothly reach a peaceful outcome. Isn't it the best thing she could do as a Japanese national and as a young marshal's woman (this is a fact)?
Therefore, it is only natural for Shigemitsu Aoi to get this news.
However, Zhang Hanqing’s toughness at the negotiation table confused him again. Is it true, as Liao Yaquan said, that he wants to charge a ridiculous price and then pay back the money on the spot? HoweverJudgment is an extension of strength, and there is nothing China can do if it does this.
"Mr. Marshal, regarding the first article you proposed, I have been approved by the Imperial Government. On behalf of the Japanese Imperial Government, I would like to express my full support. We fully agree to sign an armistice treaty with your country, and hereby Achieve complete peace with China on the basis of
But because the two sides have not declared war, we have only had a draw so far. We proposed a ceasefire in the hope of peace in East Asia, but we do not consider it a defeat! Therefore, it is completely impossible to accept compensation for war losses and punishment of war criminals! If Mr. Marshal continues to insist, we can only restart the war. This is imposed on us by China! "
Speaking of this, he seemed a little bitter. Once upon a time, was this sick man of East Asia able to impose his will on the Japanese Empire? Which one of the Manchu and Qing government and the Beiyang government is not as afraid of the sun as a tiger? Now it's reduced to the point of using mourning soldiers!
"The Gulf issue is very complicated, and our country has de facto controlled it for more than 20 years. Solving it cannot be done overnight. Considering the thoughts of our people and your country's feelings about it, I think we might as well pass another It can be resolved through a channel or another negotiation. Now, we will focus on the peaceful situation on the Korean peninsula, and a quick cessation of war between the two sides is the top priority!"
"You can't blame Shigemitsu Aoi for being too eager to stop the war, because on his way to Pyongyang, the People's Army had already launched its first strong attack on the First Division in the encirclement. One hundred thousand elite troops faced off against 20,000 tired troops, coupled with the support of tanks, artillery and other heavy weapons, the Japanese defensive front was miserable. The Japanese army also transferred aircraft to join the battle group, but they were quickly suppressed by the more numerous Chinese Air Force.
It was impossible to mobilize Japanese troops on other fronts to rescue, and the Korean People's Army also had two other armies to act as snipers. On the entire frontal battlefield, a situation has been formed where the enemy does not move and we do not move. If the enemy moves, all the forces will move. Although Nanjiro is very knowledgeable about army strategy, he still feels that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a fool of herself under the absolute weakness.
With half the number of people, the weapon advantage is also obvious, and the Chinese army is getting better and better at fighting. The key is that its command is determined and will not make mistakes. How can we fight this battle?
Domestic rescue? That magnifies the Army's shame once again! What does the Emperor think? What do the people think? The base camp's external and internal propaganda has always been an invincible stalemate, but its territory is steadily decreasing and it keeps asking for more troops from home. How long can this deception last?
Of course, Shigemitsu Aoi still did not personally feel the mood of the besieged Japanese officers and soldiers, nor did he fully understand how bad the situation on the battlefield was for the Japanese army. He was just doing his best for the country instinctively, as a diplomat ’s responsibilities.
In his opinion, he already knows the bottom line of the Chinese, so it would be best to strive for an immediate ceasefire on the Korean Peninsula, and then discuss the Gulf issue through other negotiations——as long as the current situation is solved, let's talk slowly about the Gulf issue. !
Zhang Hanqing did not understand his so-called "feelings": "Wanwan is the territory of the Republic of China. What do I need to consider the thoughts of the Japanese people? Mr. Special Envoy thinks that solving it will not happen overnight. I am surprised. Could it be that the Japanese have withdrawn from Bayan?" Is it so difficult? Just like it has been in Kanto Prefecture for more than 20 years, isn't it 'returned' all at once and unconditionally? This competition between China and Japan is all-round, and there is no so-called North Korea or Bay Area. The difference is that a truce also requires a package plan, so it’s best to discuss it here!”
Shigemitsu Aoi nodded: "Since the young marshal said so, I need to ask our country's government for instructions first to see if it is appropriate for me to negotiate?"
Zhang Hanqing happily agreed to end the meeting: "I am very much looking forward to getting good news from Mr. Special Envoy. But I have some news to disclose to you: the battle report just came from our front line. During the Battle of Songtan in the morning, I After four hours of strong attack, the heroic commanders and fighters of the People's Army have successfully broken through your country's southern defense circle.
Now, the distance between the First Division and your country's reserve division has expanded to 30 miles, and the specific number of casualties is still being counted. I hope Mr. Special Envoy can reach a conclusion with your government as soon as possible. You must know that for every minute of delay, countless soldiers will shed blood on the front line! "
He said it very easily. Shigemitsu Aoi, who had dealt with him several times, already knew this opponent well enough. The more relaxed he became, the more frustrated Shigemitsu Aoi became. He understood that the intelligence must be true and the Japanese army must have suffered a lot of losses.
Before the negotiations, the People's Army only opened a sniper circle about 4 miles wide at the rear of the First Division. Now it has jumped to 30 miles. With the Japanese soldiers' fearless spirit, the only possibility of losing the position is heavy casualties. The battle situation on the front line must be fierce and critical!
Although Shigemitsu Aoi is not a soldier, his expectations are quite different from the reality. In a sense, the situation on the battlefield was even worse.
What he didn’t know was that Zhang Hanqing’s purpose in dragging on the negotiations was to allow the People’s Army to complete the mission of attacking the First Division when the Japanese army and the Japanese government did not dare to continue the fight. Now when I tell him the news, I naturally have the situation in my hands. With his urinary nature, Liao Yaquan would certainly want to sleep, but he would definitely not do anything about his sexual conduct!

Chapter 1008 Blood for blood
The first division in the encirclement was not Zhang Hanqing's bargaining chip from the beginning. For this unit, the only order given by Zhang Hanqing and the Korean People's Army Headquarters is: total annihilation!
Worried about the long nights and long dreams, the People's Army did not launch an offensive immediately after completing the initial siege. Instead, it mobilized troops and generals overnight and made sufficient preparations before launching brazenly. The battle started from the narrowest point of the southern front and advanced northward. Under the cover of tanks and artillery, the infantry moved forward with fearless spirit.
Since the First Division Headquarters had withdrawn "in time" before, the Japanese army had already fallen into a state of fighting on its own. Therefore, the People's Army had an absolute advantage, both locally and as a whole.
Without the support of heavy weapons, on the contrary, when the People's Army infantry marched forward bravely accompanied by tanks and artillery, a one-sided situation appeared on the Japanese side. Basically, wherever they went, the Japanese soldiers there fled at the first touch.
The myth of the invincibility of the locust army has been shattered, and the perception of the Chinese army’s weak combat effectiveness has also been revisited. It's not that Chinese soldiers can't fight. As long as we have guys in our hands, we can still beat the Japanese to keep them on the lookout!
But even so, the Japanese army still showed a tenacious side. Their escape was carried out purposefully under the orders of their superiors. Rather than taking the risk of being annihilated sporadically, it is better to huddle together and fight in a group. Therefore, invariably, the Japanese troops slowly gathered from squadrons, squadrons, brigades to regiments, but they were also divided into several small positions. The army was able to expand its defensive perimeter calmly.
While the 27th and 29th armies were fighting bloody battles with the First Division, the Japanese troops of the three divisions to its left and right were waiting eagerly. The two divisions on the left and right wanted to help but could not because they were entangled by the other two armies of the People's Army; the 10th Division was the general reserve of the Japanese army in Korea and was completely stunned by the overwhelming combat power of the People's Army.
The commander of the Fan Division in Honzhuang is an old friend of Zhang Zuolin. He knows the combat capabilities of the two armies of the People's Army, and rashly bumping into them is just to add another Japanese army to the pocket of the People's Army. He used the excuse of defending the strategic area of ??Pingze to step up defenses on his own side, ignoring Lieutenant General Wada Kameharu who strongly requested his reinforcements.
For Shigeru Honjo, the fate of the besieged Japanese troops has been determined: either they will be saved after the armistice agreement is signed, or they will be annihilated or surrender. He bet his money on China and Japan signing an armistice agreement soon, because according to his judgment, the Japanese army has already been overwhelmed and there is no hope of victory, so why bother to hold on?
So he placed high hopes on Shigemitsu Aoi’s role. In fact, not only him, but Nanjiro, King Kunihiko Kuni and others are also eagerly waiting for this good news.
But if Honjo Shige knew that the First Division had only one fate, and that was to be completely annihilated, would he stand by and watch? It's happened, it's hard to comment on it.
Anyway, with all parties watching, the First Division's territory is getting smaller and smaller. Although staying together for warmth will give people a sense of security, it also adds a lot to the efficiency of the People's Army artillery. The dense infantry is the stage for artillery.
The lines of defense were plowed through by the cannons of the People's Army artillery. The 27th and 29th Divisions are the elites of the Chinese Army. Both armies and divisions are equipped with China's most advanced 125mm howitzers, which are incredibly powerful. Countless Japanese soldiers were rushed out of the trenches and then buried deep in the soil.
After the available lethal weapons are exploited, it is time for the People's Army tanks to rule the roost.
On the continuous front, the Japanese army, which had lost its artillery wing, was completely helpless against them: the number of infantry artillery was not large, and it could barely deal with the T-20, but it could barely deal with the Type 27 with thickened front armor. The scene that can usually be seen is that Japanese soldiers who are determined to die want to use infantry guns to fight tanks, but they are crushed into the mud by the rumbling tanks with their men and guns.
The People's Army does not want to injure or surrender its troops. This has already been mobilized before the war. Early Japanese soldiers rarely took prisoners, so there was absolutely no need to take risks.
Because talking about kindness to Japanese veterans who have been thoroughly brainwashed by Bushido is the greatest irresponsibility for one's own life. Only dead Japanese soldiers are good and harmless soldiers, not to mention the "Kill Order" issued by the Marshal. .
Therefore, the statistics of the results of this battle are only the number of Japanese deaths and the distance of the battle line.
The commander of the Kaifu Brigade, who was ordered to command the operations of the 1st Division on behalf of the Japanese Army, sent several rescue telegrams in succession to the Korean Japanese Army Headquarters, the General Staff Headquarters, and the Army Ministry.
In the cable, Major General Kaifu pessimistically asserted that within three days, his troops would be completely wiped out: "Without heavy weapons such as cannons, lack of ammunition and medicine, and no weapons to counter tanks, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is extremely low and has reached collapse. the edge of!"
What else can be done? It was nothing more than the Ministry of War alerting the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister again and quickly passing the news to Aoi Shigemitsu. This time, the instructions given to him by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs were short and urgent: "Agree to China's conditions,Drink tea. As soon as the Japanese left, Zhang Hanqing walked in.
"Brother Gu, are you sure that the convention has been signed?"
“Of course, at noon I just received a telegram from Shi Zhaoji, the minister to the UK and representative of the League of Nations, that the first convention on the treatment of prisoners of war was signed in Geneva by the United States, Germany, and middle-level signatories, and it will officially enter into force tomorrow!”
"What a danger. It seems that the final battle against the First Division will be advanced to tonight." Zhang Hanqing made a beheading motion on Ji Yiqiao: "Seize this time difference and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop! Tell everyone on the front line Troops, after tonight, there will be no big battles to fight, so they all fought with all their strength!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 1009: The gun and oar were wiped out while talking and laughing
Zhang Hanqing's idea of ??encircling and annihilating the First Division was the first to attract the opposition of no less than half of the officers.
When it comes to specific military affairs, Zhang Hanqing's consistent style is to respect front-line officers and respect the authority of the commander. He will not commit the crime of a certain leader named Chiang who interfered indiscriminately and left his subordinates at a loss as to what to do. To be a superior, you must have the consciousness of a superior. .
Including Ji Yiqiao, everyone believed that the Japanese army could not be forced to fight to the death with its powerful fighting power.
"Surrounding Three Ques and One" is one of the eight principles of using troops in warfare listed by Sun Wu in "The Art of War". It emphasizes that when encircling the enemy, a gap must be left empty. Otherwise, if they are surrounded on all sides, the enemy commander may be determined to fight to the death, even if the victory is very costly.
On the contrary, if a gap is deliberately left, it may cause the enemy commander to waver between fleeing and fighting to the death, and at the same time, it will also cause the enemy soldiers to lose their fighting spirit. In this way, the besieging party will have the opportunity to achieve the purpose of defeating the enemy with less sacrifice.
But Zhang Hanqing believes that this statement is reasonable in normal times, but not at this time.
There is no great significance in simply defeating this army. Is it possible that the tank force, which has been planned for a long time and the whole country has been assembled, is to ensure victory? With the strength of the People's Army, a breakthrough in any direction will have great results, and it does not have to be assisted by tank troops.
Under the "mediation" of the Western powers, both China and Japan also wanted to stop the war. Within a foreseeable time, it is the general trend for both sides to stop the war, but the resentment in Zhang Hanqing's heart has not been eliminated.
The revenge of Soldier Wang Liang and his more than 600 dead comrades has not been avenged!
Since the war started, more than 100,000 Japanese troops have been annihilated, and the People's Army's own losses have exceeded half of the opponent's. There are reasons why the People's Army is the attacker, and there are also reasons why the Japanese army's training and tenacity are unexpected by most of the People's Army, resulting in tactical failure.
There is no need to hold grudges when it comes to winning or losing on the battlefield. After the war, "laugh away grudges". After all, military affairs must be subordinated to political needs. However, Zhang Hanqing felt that defeating the Japanese army was only a small step towards victory. The shameless, cruel and anti-personnel behavior that was despised by almost all civilized countries made Zhang Hanqing feel that defeating the Japanese army was only a small step towards victory. Beating it so hard that it would make it scream would be the only way to truly serve the country. tone.
Although strategically, China has changed from passive to active, which is a big progress.
Everyone thought that the "death order" he issued to the First Division in Dalian was just an impromptu anger, but they didn't know that Zhang Hanqing had been staring at the First Division and had been preparing to fulfill his original promise. "Chinese people keep their word." This is what he wants to declare to the world, and he is also preparing to start embodying it from the Japanese.
It is true that it is completely feasible to defeat the Japanese First Division by encircling three ques and one, and the losses to the People's Army will be minimal. However, Zhang Hanqing would rather trade greater casualties on his own side in exchange for the complete annihilation of the First Division in the encirclement. ! It was both a promise and a demonstration: I said it, I did it, I won it.
Such a victory will have the greatest shock to the Japanese government and the Japanese army. It will scare them in their dreams and make them know to listen to the voice of the Chinese government after the war.
With his persistence, Chaosi carried out his plan based on the overall situation, but he was still prepared to use cannibalization to reduce the losses during the attack. The original plan was to take three days. However, the situation has changed suddenly, and this time has to be advanced and shortened immediately!
It turns out that the League of Nations has been planning to introduce a convention to protect prisoners of war. As a staunch supporter of human rights, China chose to agree. According to official history, it would not be born until July 27, 1929, but because the Japanese themselves had ulterior motives, perhaps the tragic experience of the "Korean Japs" deeply touched them, anyway, they spared no effort to encourage its introduction. .
As one of the signatories of the League of Nations, Japan still has great influence. It actually got all the member states to sign this agreement in a very short period of time, at noon today, and the effective date is tomorrow! In this way, Zhang Hanqing's plan must be advanced, otherwise, the People's Army must treat his prisoners well after tomorrow.
So when Chongguang Kui was about to pay him a visit, Zhang Hanqing and Ji Yiqiao were nervously arranging their troops. How could they have the time to talk to him about their past? One is asking for peace and the other is taking the lead, so there is no way we can talk about going together!
Until the overall situation is decided.
The next thing is Zhang Tingshu and Liang Zhongjia. At this time, Zhang Hanqing and Ji Yiqiao were free, and they happened to "make an appointment" with Chongguang Kui for dinner. After he left, the "drunk" Zhang Hanqing discussed the post-war layout with Ji Yiqiao and others in high spirits: negotiations, the influence of public opinion, the possible counterattack of the Japanese army
At this time, the Japanese defense line north of Songtan received the most ferocious artillery fire since the Korean War. As the deputy commander-in-chief and director of general logistics of the Korean People's Army, Niu Yuanfeng, there were many captured and injured Japanese soldiers who received such treatment. It is said that the People's Army's approach was very humane: the injured were treated and the prisoners repaired fortifications.
Although the conditions may not be that good, in a war, these are nothing. At least you can still survive, at least there is a chance of repatriation after the relationship between the two countries warms up again.
But once a person is killed, he will never come back to life. Doesn’t he care about the impact of this? On the eve of dawn, he actually let the soldiers and military families who were about to be reunited never have a chance to meet again. What a cruel thing!
“Young Marshal, you can’t!” She and Fujiwara Asaka blurted out almost at the same time. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 1010 Armistice Agreement
Fujiwara is a very kind person, and of course he cannot accept the murder of his compatriots, but he is still a Chinese in name only, so why do he say that? Liao Yaquan reacted quickly: "Young Marshal, it is unlucky to kill prisoners. Besides, the People's Army's preferential treatment of prisoners is written into the regulations!"
Zhang Hanqing looked at her with a half-smile, and said playfully: "What I killed was not people, but the demons who had massacred the wounded and prisoners of the People's Army! I have long said that the basis for the armistice between China and Japan was the destruction of the First Division. , I will not tolerate the existence of such a thing on the Korean Peninsula that does not know justice, kindness and military dignity. The People's Army has only life and death with them, without prisoners or forgiveness!"
He smiled and said: "As for the regulations, I wrote them myself, and I will give the final explanation!"
His words were resounding, and as soon as his voice fell, the head had already fallen to the ground.
"More than 9,000 prisoners of war and wounded were killed with one shot. This action is still very rare in the history of modern warfare. Zhang Hanqing did it!" The next day, the incident was reported on the headlines of almost every major country in the world. In this regard, "civilized countries" such as Britain and the United States showed varying degrees of surprise. The Soviet Union and Germany both remained silent, while Japan expressed strong indignation with righteous indignation.
Zhang Hanqing is not afraid. He publicly admitted at a press conference at home and abroad: "I gave the order. If I need to bear all the culpability and moral stains because of it, I will bear it with all my strength! As we all know, the People's Army has always been tolerant of prisoners with the tolerance of a great country." , treat them with kindness, and even use them better than our own officers and soldiers! This tradition will be maintained forever.
But we will treat the First Division as an unrelenting enemy, as I announced in Dalian, because they were the first to lose their dignity as soldiers! Repaying evil with kindness, the seven hundred martyrs of the 7th Division who were brutally murdered will not forgive us, the sad and angry Chinese people will not forgive us, and our conscience will not forgive us either!
"To deal with such an inhuman army, I have no choice but to let them disappear completely. Let me forgive this army that once slaughtered our wounded and prisoners of war. Sorry, I can't do it!"
Today is the first day that the Republic of China officially recognizes the signing of the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War. On behalf of the Republic of China, I solemnly declare that China will, as always, work with other countries to ensure compliance with this convention. However, any enemy who does not abide by this covenant will never expect to be treated with tolerance by us. Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, this oath is always valid! "
His first words when he met Shigemitsu Aoi after the meeting were: "Mr. Shigemitsu Aoi, I think the last problem between us has finally been solved!"
Yes, the main force of the infamous First Division was wiped out, which can be regarded as avenging the seven hundred martyrs. After the issue that bothered Zhang Hanqing the most was basically settled, Zhang Hanqing really wanted to call a truce.
Shigemitsu Kui wanted to say something, but said nothing. Blood for blood, this is Zhang Hanqing's clear-cut stance, and it has also been implemented. If you are in the first year of junior high school and he is in the fifteenth year of junior high school, there is nothing to say. But in this case, he could only protest without confidence.
Otherwise, what other solution is there? The instructions received from the country were to seriously protest against the actions of the Chinese army, but still required him to continue negotiations to complete the armistice task.
Expressing outrage? The Japanese Foreign Minister has made a serious statement. However, in the final resolution formed by the cabinet, it still withstood the pressure from the Army Staff Headquarters and declared a ceasefire across the board.
As far as he knew, the Japanese government privately condemned the Chinese government through various channels, but in public, it tried its best to cover up the fact that 9,000 people of the First Division were captured and killed, and only regarded it as normal. They died in battle and sent "death notices" to their families.
Unless the situation is truly unbearable, the Army Ministry will not tolerate such a shame and humiliation.
"If it were during World War II, they would have taken revenge even if they had exhausted the power of the whole country, not to mention the strong pressure of public opinion that would have prevented them from giving up. As for domestic economic pressure, that is a matter for people in the business community. Didn’t you see that they endured it in 1945, when supplies were most scarce and prices soared?
Don’t be surprised that the Japanese government at this time behaves like this, because they are not yet governed by extreme military personnel, and militaristic ideas have not yet fully affected the country. From this perspective, it is a good thing that the Sino-Japanese war breaks out early. Because after the fight is over and they find that China is a tough nut to crack, they can immediately turn around instead of fighting to the death.
Shigemitsu Aoi finally chose to admit reality.
He strongly demanded that the Chinese army return to the boundary where the negotiations began, which was an area of ??dozens of miles around Songtan where the First Division had been annihilated. Zhang Hanqing agreed.
What’s the point of being lonely and wild ghosts all over the place? Let’s leave it to the Japanese to pay homage to them after the war. Maybe we can give them some comfort.It's not even possible to wake up. It's not because Zhang Hanqing is superstitious, but because this is the protruding part of the defense line, which is actually not good for defense. In addition, from the perspective of "taking care of" the Japanese government, the mood of the people, and the face of the army, it is excellent to retreat a little and will not harm the overall situation.
Forget compensation, Japan’s losses are actually greater; Zhang Hanqing has done his best to punish war criminals for them.
Regarding the remaining Gulf issue, Zhang Hanqing did not care about himself even though he knew it was impossible. He just proposed that in accordance with "tradition", Japan should be allowed to follow the British rule and control Hong Kong for 99 years, but there are three preconditions:
“Japan recognizes the fact that the sovereignty of the Gulf belongs to China in exchange for China’s actual recognition of Japan’s interests in Taiwan;
Japan shall not use inhumane means to govern its administration and reduce its garrison in a planned manner. Japan shall not use the Gulf as a base during wartime to make it a neutral area;
China will send a working group and League of Nations observers to the Gulf to supervise that its administration does not violate human rights and morality. "
The first article is principled and aims to legally and psychologically enable Taiwanese people to identify with one China. The second and third articles are constraints on Japanese rule to protect the interests of Taiwanese people to the greatest extent possible.
It may seem a bit pragmatic, but this is the biggest contribution we can make to Wanwan under the current situation. At this stage, the Gulf issue can only be shelved and is not suitable for discussion. Without him, the lack of national strength will only bring shame. However, this also made China realize its shame and become courageous. Subsequently, China's investment in naval power attracted the attention of the world.
In this regard, the Japanese government has already had a draft. Takeshi Inukai, known as the "God of Japanese Constitutional Government", even came up with the radical plan of "exchanging peace for peace".
After realizing that the Gulf will eventually face a powerful China, the occupation of the Gulf will be an expedient measure, so that the ninety-nine-year plan proposed by the Chinese government will finally win the support of the Japanese government. Nonsense, you can keep the bay safely for nearly a hundred years, what else do you want!
However, no one expected that Zhang Hanqing graciously agreed to do this because he knew that with the development of the international situation, the day to regain the Gulf would never come. Even if the overall situation does not evolve as it has in official history, within ten years at most, the powerful China will use various methods and even use force to regain it.
The current generosity is just a temporary measure. The Japanese failed in the Korean battlefield due to their poor temperament. If they forcefully raise the issue of the ownership of the Gulf, they will only be forced to fight for face.
In this way, both sides made concessions to a certain extent, paving the way for easing the war situation, and the atmosphere of the negotiations was very harmonious.
On March 28, China unilaterally announced that it would withdraw from the land gained in the Battle of Songtan and return to the front lines it controlled in the early spring of 1929. If you look at the map, this is a straight line approximately 37 degrees north latitude. The military demarcation line between China and Japan in North Korea is based on it and is known as the "37th Line" in history.
This gives the Japanese government a face and can declare its "victory" to its citizens. Therefore, according to Zhang Hanqing's suggestion, the two countries signed an armistice agreement in Seoul on April 1. Naturally, the choice of signing the ceasefire agreement on what the West later regarded as April Fool's Day has a sense of humor in itself.
Chongguang Kui has a mixture of hundreds of flavors and a mixture of five flavors. Since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese Empire has been invincible in Asia and has continuously made gains. After defeating the Qing Dynasty and Russia, it finally gained rights and status on an equal footing with Western white people. However, all these, like expired cherry blossoms, withered one after another.
If being driven out of Siberia was the result of poor soil, insufficient logistical supplies, and the evolution of political factors, there was also a hint of active retreat. The defeat in the Korean Peninsula, where it had been operating for decades, was its home ground. , completely made the Japanese people and government realize that on land, facing a giant that has become stronger again, it has no way to change this fact.
China’s rise is unstoppable, and this battle has awakened many stubborn people. At the crossroads of the country, fortunately, the government finally understands and faces up to this fact, and accepts this cruel but inevitable result.
Starting in August 1927 and ending at the end of March 1929, the largest war in East Asia that lasted for 20 months finally came to an end.
The "Korean Armistice Agreement" stipulates that China and Japan will permanently cease fire in North Korea. The two sides will delimit their spheres of influence along the 37th parallel and will not seek to unilaterally change the status quo. Elsewhere, China and Japan will Maintain military restraint and refrain from deliberately threatening the other party’s territory, territorial waters and airspace.
China and Japan achieved peace on the Korean Peninsula.
However, Shigemitsu Aoi, one of the signatories, did not have such good luck. After returning home with this heavy agreement, he was besieged at the airport by demonstrators opposing the agreement.
Although it was expected that radical soldiers or forces would take the opportunity to cause trouble, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the local garrison set up tight security, someone still sneaked into the parade crowd and threw bombs next to him.
The bomb was extremely powerful, killing three people and seriously injuring five others on the spot. Aoi Shigemitsu was lucky enough to survive, but sadly, his legs were still broken. The reason why I say still is because in the official history, his leg was also blown off.
The slight difference is that the person responsible for assassinating him in official history was the killer Wang Yaqiao of the Republic of China, and this time he fell into the hands of his own people (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)Forces will take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Chapter 1011 The End of the Korean War
The signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement made it the first time since the Opium War that China did not lose diplomacy in the war. Japan, on the other hand, lamented: "This is the first time in modern times that the Japanese Empire has signed an armistice agreement without victory!"
What saddens the Japanese most is that the German officers who were watching the battle said in a report sent back to the country: "The tactical level of the Japanese army is at least in the early stages of World War I!"
It is internationally recognized that Japan lost nearly 200,000 elite army troops (including those who died and those who lost combat capabilities). The elite 2nd and 19th and 20th Infantry Divisions stationed in Korea were completely wiped out, severely damaging the 1st, 5th, 6th, and 16th Divisions. Among them, the soldiers of the 5th and 16th Divisions almost changed one round, while the 1st The two divisions of 6 and 6 only survived by chance with a small number.
In addition, the 8th Border Guards and the 1st Independent Guards were almost completely lost, and a tank regiment was posted. But what made Japan most sad was the capture of the flag of the 6th regiment.
The face of the Navy was also greatly damaged: the huge combined fleet was in vain, and instead lost an armored cruiser "Izumo", and the 17th Squadron was completely annihilated. Although it seemed that the losses were much smaller than those of the Army, considering the weakness of the Chinese opponent, the battle was still considered a major defeat.
The casualties among senior officers were also unprecedented. Four army lieutenant generals died in this war, so much so that Japanese newspapers lamented: "Such a large number of high-ranking officers' casualties have never been seen since the Russo-Japanese War!" This war It caused Japan to lose all its outstanding commanders and prematurely terminated its national policy of continuing to invade the Asian continent by using the resources of Kanto Prefecture and North Korea. It also dealt a heavy blow to the economy at the same time.
This war boosted the morale of the Chinese people, demonstrated national and military prestige, and wiped away China’s nearly century-old humiliation. The People's Army has also been trained in actual combat. In terms of tactics, it has fully demonstrated its expertise in encirclement, penetration, ambush, close combat, night combat, and siege and reinforcement.
At the same time, rising patriotic enthusiasm has transformed into huge productivity, which has greatly promoted the recovery of the national economy. Northeast China has become the general base of national construction, enabling the People's Party of China to strengthen the foundation of industrialization.
The strategic situation has improved unprecedentedly. Through this battle, the Northeast People's Army broke into the Han River, shifting the border line of the Sino-Japanese military struggle nearly 600 kilometers southward from the three northeastern provinces. It also ended the fragmented defense situation within the territory, thus extending the Security cordon.
The great reversal of the strategic posture between China and Japan in East Asia has also provided a solid security guarantee for the continued economic development of Northeast China. This campaign restored China's international status as a great power, and the Chinese began to become proud and proud in the world.
The political influence is the biggest gain. The Western spectator groups vividly described the bravery of the Chinese soldiers and how they beat up Japan, a powerful country that had become white, which greatly touched them.
Singaporean Chinese leader Tan Ka Kee recalled that he traveled in Europe before the Korean War and suffered discrimination everywhere. However, when China sent troops to Korea and won consecutive victories, Western European customs officers were in awe when they saw the Chinese. Tan Ka Kee began to study Chinese seriously.
So China has won a great victory, which is an inconvertible value.
The outbreak of the Korean War also brought opportunities for the rapid development of China's heavy industry, especially the military industry. It is said that war is a catalyst for industrial development, and it is not true at all. During the entire war, China's machine manufacturing industry nearly doubled. Although the country's economic construction was slightly disrupted, it still grew at a high rate of 18% annually, which impressed the world.
In October 1928, the first year of the war, the fiscal revenue between China and Japan broke a new record of three times the gap. By the end of August 1929, China's gross national product was three times that of Japan, and its total industrial output surpassed Japan's for the first time. , reaching two-thirds of Germany and one-sixth of the United States during the same period;
The machine manufacturing industry is 2.5 times that of Japan, and the power generation capacity is 1.5 times that of Japan. There is no doubt that China has completely surpassed Japan and become the most powerful country in Asia.
A policy document from the U.S. State Department states: "China's rise is the beginning of a new era in Asia. We should always pay attention to China's policies and their possible impact on the United States."
“The sleeping giant of Asia has awakened, and it is important to pay attention to the reaction from China when considering Asia policy,” a declassified document later found in the British Foreign Office said.
The Soviet Union expressed great surprise at the increase in military strength brought about by China's rapid economic growth, and directly prompted the creation of its first Five-Year Plan.
This victory is self-evident in promoting China's national strength: tariff autonomy and extraterritoriality, which have been unresolved for many years, achieved fruitful results in the first negotiation after the war. Since Japan, the biggest obstructive force, has withdrawn from this negotiation, the Chinese government has successfully taken back all customs control.
The imperialist countries such as the United States, Britain, and France even proposed to reform the current situation of the concessions in Shanghai and Tianjin.It can't play its role.
The same goes for China. Developing a strong army will yield the quickest results and have the ability to challenge Japan's land sphere of influence in China. As an island country, Japan cannot follow suit and cannot support it in forming a large army. Its failure is inevitable.
"However, Japan's defeat will not be too complete, because it has another reliance - the navy. The Chinese Navy, which started from scratch, has no chance of winning against the Japanese Navy, which has grown into a giant.
The Chinese navy has a similar mission to that of Germany: to protect coastal cities from attack, to break blockades to ensure shipping, to prevent enemy troops from landing on the coast; to protect overseas trade and attack enemy trade.
In fact, what has a greater impact on China is that this war has resulted in a lasting peace. The Chinese government and people are proud and proud, and the maritime and land borders of thousands of miles have gained rare stability; The Shanghai customs issues, consular jurisdiction issues, and tariff issues with some countries were all resolved in a way that even the boldest observers before the war had not expected.

Chapter 1012 Self-determination
After the Korean War, Zhang Hanqing’s prestige within the party and the military rose to an unprecedented level. Basically, he had a decisive say in the future of North Korea. Zhang Hanqing had his own ideas on how to deal with northern North Korea.
Zhang Hanqing did not want to be the government of the late Qing Dynasty. After the victory between China and France, he could sign the "Treaty of Hue" and hand over Vietnam! At this time, it was less than 35 years since North Korea broke away from the suzerainty of the "Celestial Power". Later, it had the same fate of slavery as China (especially the Northeast), so it was essentially unable to break away from the influence of China.
??This is a rare opportunity to change the territory of China. If I don’t make a difference, I’m sorry for my time traveling and the hard work in the past 10 years! Almost at the same time that China and Japan signed the treaty, he proposed the "Self-determination Plan for North Korea", intending to determine the future political status of northern North Korea through "Self-determination".
Zhang Hanqing has been paying attention to North Korea for a long time: from the time when the "Dragon Boat Festival" became South Korea's cultural heritage, to when they claimed that "Confucius and Lao Tzu are Koreans", and even shamelessly threw out an "undecided theory of Northeastern sovereignty" and other similar dreams. There are also all kinds of shameless remarks or mental strength syndrome that Koreans have invented for themselves, such as an extremely glorious history and an extremely vast territory.
From a strategic perspective, the living space of small countries is far more disadvantaged than that of large countries. Since World War II, the reason why a big country becomes a big country is that it must have population and strategic depth, that is, area.
For example, China, which is not rich and relatively weak militarily, was able to become one pole of the "Grand Triangle" away from the superpowers the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The factors of population and area cannot be ignored. Although the former great powers Britain, France, Japan, and Germany were economically and industrially stronger than China, they were never able to achieve the great power status that China has.
Although many independent countries were born after World War II, the economic independence of Third World countries has never been achieved. Even for small developed countries, their voice in the world has not increased, but has shrunk.
The expansion of a country has an agglomeration effect, such as the expansion of the territory of the United States, the expansion of the Soviet Union, and the evolution of China's territory in history.
By comparison, few countries have suffered as many invasions as China in history.
When China was strong, it always aspired to "conquer others without fighting." As long as tribute came from all directions, it was even a so-called "tribute" system that was only nominal and economically harmful to itself and others. And never thought of conquering the enemy by force;
And when China was poor and weak, it always expected to use its weak culture to "assimilate" the enemy - the author uses the word assimilation, because it really feels a bit like Ah Q's spirit - I don't know who assimilated whom, anyway, history By the end of the book, both those who repeatedly invaded the borders and the conquerors who finally took over the whole of China became the "conquered" and at the same time became Chinese.
Like the Five Huns who ravaged the north for hundreds of years, historians say that the Han people assimilated the Xianbei people;
During the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties, they were repeatedly bullied by the Liao and Jin Dynasties and even were destroyed by the Mongols, but they respected the Yuan Dynasty as orthodoxy because Mongolia was also a part of the Chinese nation;
Another alien nation, the Qing Dynasty, was established in the Ming Dynasty, and the Manchus immediately became a part of the Chinese nation
It’s not that I don’t agree with it, it’s just that modern concepts are imposed on the ancients. I don’t know what Genghis Khan and Nurhaci would think if they knew it underground.
??Traditionally, when talking about Chinese people, the commonly used pronouns are "Han people and Tang people". "Tang people" is an extension of the honorific title given to Chinese people in the era of China's strength, while "Han people" is a synonym for the nation, with different meanings.
The Han people in China have diverse origins. Because the Qinling Mountains are geographically bounded, the Han people in the south and the north are very different.
The reasons are: first, at the beginning of the formation of the Han nationality, it was the fusion of many tribes. The name Han nationality appeared and was formally formed in the Han Dynasty; second, many other ethnic groups were integrated into the continuous expansion of the territory; third, the Han nationality has a history of Too many situations of conquering and being conquered.
No one can say specifically how many ethnic groups are genetically related to the Han nationality, and how many ethnic groups have been completely integrated into the Han nationality.
"However, sensible people are not ashamed of this complicated bloodline, but a kind of pride. Although we are very different from each other, we also live in a country with a vast territory and abundant resources; we speak the same language, use the same characters, celebrate the same festivals, and have the same name - "Han".
Although there are conflicts between regions, whenever foreign enemies invade we live and die together; whenever the country is divided, we are always eager to unify (when was Europe unified?) Which nation has the same advantages as us? This requires a broad mind to understand, which means a population as large as the sand of the Ganges River, an endless territory, countless warriors in history who traveled to foreign lands, and high-spirited literati
Of course, a small country with few people without these cannotUnderstood.
China and North Korea are neighbors separated by a strip of water. The special geographical environment has caused the people of the two countries to move to each other since ancient times and make a living in transit. This gave rise to the Chinese Koreans as a minority in China.
The immigration of Koreans in modern China began in the mid-19th century. From the mid-19th century to the Japanese annexation of Korea in 1910, they were free immigrants who moved for various reasons.
The second is the anti-Japanese patriots who migrated due to political reasons after the "Japan-Korea merger" in 1910.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT THE 1990s
The Koreans in China are mainly distributed in the three northeastern provinces, with a small number scattered throughout Inner Mongolia and Guan Nei. They have established Korean autonomous prefectures, counties and other autonomous regions. Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture is the largest inhabited area.
The Chinese Koreans are members of the 56-ethnic family and have made their own contributions to the development of China's history, culture, economy and other aspects.
Due to the thousands of years of integration between the Han nationality and other nationalities, there is absolutely no absolute and pure "Han" nation in China. This "Han" represents a kind of inclusiveness. , a cohesion and a spirit.
When they live on the same land as many other ethnic groups and work hard for the happiness, independence and territorial integrity of the same country, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, sons and daughters of China, and descendants of the dragon, and create a common nation "Chinese nation" ".
Similarly, since China can incorporate Korean people into the entire "Chinese nation" family, Zhang Hanqing is confident that all Koreans will be included in the territory of the Republic of China. In addition to being the liberator of the Korean people, North Korea has not completely broken off its traditional ties with China during the short period of Japanese occupation, which is another important factor for the people to psychologically identify with one China.
North Korea has been culturally dependent on China since ancient times and has been influenced by Confucianism: the same festivals, similar official systems, the same noble Chinese characters as national characters, and even the eunuch system used in the palace is similar although it has never been included in the Chinese territory , but the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Any action in Chinese politics will involve its internal affairs.
Should it establish itself as a country with the help of China as a buffer against Japan and China’s offensive posture on land, or should it become an autonomous province of China and directly share weal and woe from now on? It is time for Korean national self-determination.
According to Zhang Hanqing’s idea, the North Korean people under the occupation of the Chinese People’s Army will vote on August 20 to decide whether to join the Chinese territory. Prior to this, the People's Party had exerted its powerful propaganda capabilities to show the land reform, industrial achievements, and the happy life of the people in front of the North Korean people one by one.
According to the census at the end of 1929, after more than 10 years of immigration, the population of the three eastern provinces has reached an astonishing 48 million, and internationally renowned metropolises such as Shenyang, Harbin, Changchun, and Dalian have emerged. Shenyang's total industrial output value has surpassed Shanghai.
There are 2 million tractors and 300,000 cars in Northeast China. The density of crisscrossing railway lines and highway lines is the highest in the country. This is also an important guarantee for China to win through a war of attrition on the Korean battlefield.
Because the Northeast has made great contributions to the Kuomintang's takeover of China, especially the farmers in the Northeast who endured selfless "dedication" at the beginning of the Communist Party, the country also reciprocated the favor when the Korean War was in full swing. The principal and interest of the "rent" owed by the government has fulfilled the promise made at the beginning of the land reform, and the land tax has also been reduced from 30% to 1.5% to express respect and gratitude to the people of Northeast China.
This time, the people of Northeast China, especially farmers, have benefited. They already have a lot of land, and some places have also achieved semi-mechanization, making it possible to contract large amounts of land. With the implementation of the national repayment policy, the per capita income of farmers in Northeast China is much higher than that of workers in coastal cities such as Shanghai.
The improvement of living conditions and the bright prospects for development have made people in the mainland more and more vocal in immigrating to the Northeast, and this has also given centripetal force to the North Korean people across the river.
Why abandon your family and children, cross the long border and take such risks to make a living in the Northeast? If the two families become one family, they can go to the Northeast with their families in a dignified manner. They are all the same citizens!
Even if it is unwilling to leave home, North Korea has great potential under China's leadership. Have you ever seen how well the Northeast, which is just across the border, is developing so well? This is all the result of the People's Party! Under the leadership of the People's Party, North Korea will definitely have a good life!
Now North Korea has been divided. Of the total population of 18 million on the peninsula, China controls nearly 8 million people; China accounts for 70% of the total territory of more than 210,000 square kilometers.
??Typically, there are many people but few people. How to effectively control this land so that it becomes a boost rather than a fetter for China and a barrier rather than a burden to China is worth thinking about.
China has paid such a high price not to let it become independent and then become an unstable chess piece. It is necessary to completely integrate it into this former great country. Encouraged by Zhang Hanqing, the North Korean Parliament passed the self-determination plan for northern North Korea and officially became a country legally.
Then, under the surging public opinion from the outside world, the elected parliament is considering voting on whether to join China.
"Compared with Japan's brutal merger method, China's civilization has given it an example. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Rather than being a fetter, it has become a barrier rather than a burden to China, which is worth thinking about.

Chapter 1013 Setting up a Province
Zhang Hanqing would not do the stupid thing of directly declaring North Korea a province. How is that any different from the aggressive Japan? "The Duke of Zhou vomits food, and the world returns to its heart." How can the Korean people, who are suffering from hunger and cold, willingly change the thousand-year tradition of independence without letting them see the benefits of the reality that belongs to China?
??——In fact, it is not that the North Korean people are unwilling to submit to China, but the fact that North Korea has been relatively poor in history has made China reluctant to accept this little partner. From the fact that when China was weak, the emperor of North Korea was still alive and asked the late Qing government to imitate the Yuan Dynasty and set up the province of North Korea, we can see how popular the idea of ????incorporating North Korea into China was in North Korea.
Of course, Zhang Hanqing will not be like China in later generations, while providing for the white-eyed wolf of North Korea, while having to suffer the trouble of it not listening to the baton and repeatedly causing problems for China!
There are also those who insist on describing traditional Chinese medicine as "Korean medicine", changing the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival to South Korea, insisting on naming the country as "Korea" even though it is a small country. The Republic of China, which is pickled because of the climate, is extremely ordinary. Cabbage beautifies it into the world's most delicious kimchi, Qu Yuan, Confucius, Laozi, and Han Feizi are all Koreans
Of course, the good situation that we have worked so hard to build must move in the direction that is most beneficial to China. Zhang Hanqing even decided that if the vote fails, he will implement the pre-prepared unfavorable plan and declare the vote invalid pending re-election! Of course, the People's Party has also done a lot of work to ensure that the vote is passed in one go and to occupy a legally favorable position.
The great enthusiasm and economic prosperity of China across the river have long made the people of Japan-occupied Korea "long for it."
What they saw were the three northeastern provinces with relatively developed economies. Although some provinces in the mainland have developed well in recent years, they are indeed not to the extent that people can aspire to them at a glance, but the three northeastern provinces are exceptions. This place is even more wealthy and advanced than some places in relatively developed Japan, let alone the poor North Korea as a colony.
Coupled with the propaganda of the People’s Party, which has previously controlled the politics of various parts of North Korea, and China’s administrative officials mobilized from various provinces, a happy prospect for the North Korean people after joining China is before their eyes:
After North Korea is established as a province, it will have national autonomy. The provincial governor will also be a Korean people. There will also be a permanent vice-president of the Senate in the Congress. Members of the same Senate and House of Representatives will enjoy the same power as other provinces. and obligations;
The fiscal revenue of northern North Korea will be mainly used for the construction of the province in the initial stage. In addition, the central government will also provide certain financial subsidies to North Korea to close the gap as soon as possible;
It will connect Shenyang and Dandong with the existing Sinuiju-Pyongyang-Kaesong railway to form the Shen-Kai Line. Relying on Shenyang's huge industrial capacity to radiate North Korea is the first step, because both sides are on the standard track. This approach is very simple. The Central People's Government has even begun to recruit civilians to start the construction of the Chinese section;
? Two new bridges will be built on the Yalu River, namely the Ji'an and Linjiang Yalu River Bridges, to speed up the connection between the original border residents. The Ji'an Bridge will connect Ji'an, Liaoning, and the railway from Tonghua to North Korea, and then connect Jiangjie and Pingcheng to Pyongyang; the Linjiang Bridge is a road bridge, originating from Linjiang, Jilin;
A new large railway will be built along the eastern coast of North Korea, starting from Chongjin in the north, connecting Hamhung and Wonsan all the way south, and ending at Cheorwon on the north bank of the Han River. A new railway was built in the north of Chongjin to reach the west water road at the mouth of the Tumen River, forming the West Railway Line;
?? Transform Chongjin and Nampo into 10,000-ton port cities, making them the windows for Northeast Asia to connect with the world after Dalian;
It took about half a year to complete the land reform, use the power of the central government's finances to implement five-year compulsory education, the central government built large-scale factories in North Korea, and gradually improved the light industry system related to people's livelihood and supported national capital
Unlike Japan, China seems to truly operate North Korea as one of its own provinces, while Japan regards North Korea as a raw material production base and a colony for dumping products, and does not care about the lives of its people. The Chinese government has also introduced policies to respect national customs. Compared with Japan, which forces Korean people to change their Japanese surnames, it is a world of difference!
At this time when the international situation is changing, even some North Korean insightful people who are keen on national self-reliance have pointed out that instead of continuing to be enslaved by foreign countries, especially Japan, it is better to temporarily fall into the arms of China. Smart move. Therefore, in the referendum held as scheduled, more than 85% of voters approved of joining China.
Supervisors from the League of Nations also agree that this is self-determination in the true sense. The leader of the observation team, British Powell, said in a message to the headquarters: "This self-determination is absolutely fair, fair, and open. The Chinese government | The government did not force or forge any high pass rate figures to show how unpopular Japan's rule in North Korea was. On the contrary, the Chinese government, the traditional suzerain country, gave North Korea real development in the future.?The plan is more likely to impress vulnerable North Koreans. Perhaps the result of this vote may ultimately maintain long-term peace and development on the Korean Peninsula, so we give a very positive evaluation to this incident"
Zhang Hanqing is not an easy man: in order to prevent future disputes when North Korea becomes powerful, or China will one day disintegrate like the Soviet Union - in the long course of history, China will unite if it is divided for a long time, and it will be divided if it unites for a long time. I don’t know which “wise leader” will eventually divide China. He has designed a good political structure.
Whether to join China can be decided by a referendum by the entire people. This was possible for North Korea before surrender, and the base number was North Korean citizens; in the future, if it were proposed to withdraw from China, a referendum would also be required, but the base number was all Chinese citizens - North Korea at that time could only be regarded as One of them. After North Korea was officially established as a province and joined China's territory, its political choices cannot be easily provoked.
Regarding the few possible Korean restorationists and nationalists, he repeatedly emphasized in his instructions to Kim Sam-soon, later Secretary of the Korean Provincial Committee of the People's Party, and Quan Da-jung, Secretary of the Korean Provincial Committee of the People's Party: The Korean Peninsula, as a part of China, cannot be divided. Any remarks about the restoration of North Korea will be criticized and punished, severely punished, until they are both mentally and physically eliminated for the crime of "counterrevolution" or "treason", and all signs of unrest must be eliminated. In infancy.
In his opinion, the riots in Xinjiang and Tibet in later generations should not have occurred. These were actually the long-term tolerance of those in power and the shackles of the so-called ethnic unity-since all ethnic groups are equal, they are all Chinese. As a part of the nation, when dealing with ethnic issues, we should not favor one over the other. Otherwise, there will be a collective imbalance in the national psychology, which will lead to accidents.
He is also strengthening the popularization of the Anti-Secession Law to legally deter and control ethnic separatists.
The political and military significance of North Korea's annexation to China is also great: Politically, if North Korea's living standards and economic development are greatly improved after its return, it will be recognized for the return of some territories in the future and serve as an example, reducing the resistance from the original inhabitants;
??Military, China’s border has not become longer, but has been greatly shortened - compared with the original length of the China-North Korea border of more than 1,420 kilometers, the current border between China and Japan on the Korean Peninsula is only a maximum of 250 kilometers;
In addition, the land buffer distance left for China has increased. At sea, China's territorial waters have protruded from the Bohai Bay by at least 500 kilometers. After Yantai, Lushun, and Nanpu were built into air force bases, China's shallow-water navy can finally rely on its powerful The Air Force is no longer shrinking, and it is possible to upgrade the Bohai Fleet to the North Sea Fleet.
Although the East China Sea is the closest to Japan, with the geographical advantages of Qingdao, the home port of the East China Sea Fleet, Nanpu Port in the West Korea Bay and Dalian Bay, the coast of China's East China Sea - Jiaodong Bay and Liaodong Bay is actually the safest place on China's eastern coast !
North Korea encountered few difficulties when it was incorporated into China, at least at that time its writing still used Chinese characters. Unlike now, due to the "invention" of phonetic characters, a distorted so-called "Korean" appeared in South Korea, which separated South Korea from its ancient cultural and historical inheritance.
The consequence for this generation is a lack of classical cultural accomplishment, separation from tradition, complete separation from the East Asian cultural circle, and deep isolation and misery.
The younger generation of Koreans in later generations do not even know how to read Chinese characters, and it is even more difficult to write Chinese characters. Many people cannot write their own names in Chinese characters, nor can they write the names of their parents. After leaving school and entering society, they have to learn Chinese characters by themselves. As a result, in modern Korea before Zhang Hanqing traveled through time, there were Chinese character correspondence institutions for adults all over the place.
Therefore, from the perspective of modern human rights, nation and social development, Zhang Hanqing's unification of North Korea has a progressive historical significance of "compassion for heaven and humanity".
In order to maintain the traditions of North Korea and China to the greatest extent, the North Korean Provincial Government has explicitly ordered that all official documents be expressed in Chinese characters. Government officials must gradually transition from a single Korean language to a language with both Chinese and Korean, and ultimately achieve Chineseization.
With the help of the Ministry of Education, North Korea's first comprehensive general university, Pyongyang University, was officially established. Professional general and technical schools sprouted up all over the country, and the literacy rate reached 50% in three years. The goal.
Narrow-gauge trains in northern North Korea and the unit of measurement "li" used in North Korea have also been converted to the metric system. The traces of the Japanese occupation, as well as the bad things that existed in Korea and hindered modernization, are quickly disappearing from the stage of history with great fanfare.
In order to let the North Korean people firmly remember the sacrifice, bravery and glory of the Chinese People's Army in this war, a majestic "Korean Liberation Monument" carved from white marble was erected in the central square of Pyongyang city soon.
On the front are eight gold characters "The People's Heroes Are Immortal" written by Zhang Hanqing himself, and on the back is an inscription written by Ji Yiqiao: "In the Korean War, in order to eliminate the threat of militarism, and for the cause of the dignity, unity, sovereignty and independence of the Chinese nation, The people's heroes who made sacrifices will be immortal; the people's heroes who sacrificed for the cause of peace and liberation of Korea will be immortal!"
This monument has become the patriotic education memorial base of North Korea Province and a scene in Pyongyang.
The people of North Korea have been given a new lease of life.

Chapter 27 Is there any beauty here?
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Originally, we had agreed to go to Jixiangyuan to see Mr. Mei, but Zhang Hanqing changed his route to Guangde Building halfway because there was Mr. Liu here. This Mr. Liu is not comparable to Mr. Mei, not because of his inferior skills, but because of his nature.
Men’s nature.
When Zhang Hanqing came to this world, he had not yet met the legendary beauties of the Republic of China, so it was a bit unsightly. While chatting on the road, I suddenly remembered: No matter how attractive Mei Lanfang is when he disguises himself as a woman, he is still a man at heart. What does it mean for a grown man to look at a grown man? Besides, I don’t have much interest in Beijing scripts. This is purely a personal preference and has nothing to do with patriotism. Men, what they like most is probably beautiful women.
No, when Zhang Hanqing asked half-heartedly: "Uncle Shi, is this Mr. Mei pretending to be a woman as lifelike as everyone says?"
Cai E replied: "Of course, Mr. Mei has profound skills, is good at both civil and military affairs, has a graceful stage style, and has an excellent appearance."
Zhang Hanqing chuckled and said, "Xue Liang is talking about Mr. Mei's female appearance."
Cai E felt it was a bit clearer: "Of course, Mr. Mei has a mellow voice and a melodious and charming singing voice. He is a famous Qingyi Dandan in public reviews."
Zhang Hanqing felt the need to speak more openly: "Xue Liang is asking, is there any woman in Beijing who is more beautiful than Mr. Mei?"
Cai E knew that this boy was illiterate about Peking opera, so he guessed: "You mean the female actress, right?"
Zhang Hanqing really doesn’t know what an actress is, but from a literal explanation, it seems like she is an actress or something, right? He immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes."
Cai E said disapprovingly: "There are a few female actresses, but the one who sings Tsing Yi is Mei Lanfang. Peking opera is about singing skills and movements, not watching women on stage, that is a civilized drama."
In ancient times, the status of women was low. Although actors were not popular, no one looked up to female actors. Therefore, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, women acting in dramas were still the work of men, called Dan. Women who played the role of ladies or high-status women were called Zhengdan. In the early years of the Republic of China, folk customs became more popular. In some developed places, women who loved opera came on stage to sing in operas. However, most of them were new fashion operas, which have developed to the rhythm of fashion shows now. Even so, public opinion is not optimistic. This new fashion drama was called "civilized drama" at the time.
Zhang Hanqing was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "Isn't the civilized drama good to watch? Do you know how popular models of clothes, shoes, hats and the like are in later generations? Do you know that many things in later generations that cannot be done with beauties must be done by beauties? Only by mixing it together can you attract attention, right? Do you know about car models? Do you know how popular video chat is?" He wanted to lie down in the general's ear and shout: "I'm asking if there are any beautiful women here?!"
Although Cai E is an outstanding figure of his generation, he cannot escape the fetters of the world. Only Zhang Hanqing, who was born in the new society, grew up under the red flag, and grew up in the midst of reforms, has an extremely clear interest in new things. He still refused to give up: "Xue Liang heard several times in Fengtian that there were 'three outstanding female actors' in Beijing and Tianjin, and he was very attracted to them. Since I can only listen to plays, when watching women's plays, Xueliang feels that it is better for women to act. .”
Cai E looked at him with some scrutiny, which made him explain with a guilty conscience: "It's purely for the joy of seeing the hunter and to open his horizons."
General Cai smiled knowingly. Is this child's mental development a bit early? Sometimes he is as wise as a mountain, and sometimes as calm as water. Of course, he will show a bit of naughty from time to time. Is this the passion that this age group should have? There is nothing to blame for a young man's longing for love and a young girl's love for her child. Moreover, in this era there are many marriages that start at the age of 15, and Zhang Hanqing's family conditions also allow him to live and drink. As long as they don't rape women, a man's love for a woman can be described as romantic.
The key is that he usually visits the Bada Hutong, but the rest in his bones has kept him dry, which also aroused the suspicion of the spies who were following him. Now we have Zhang Hanqing as a shield, which just gives people an excuse. So General Cai recommended a good place based on his recent travel experience in Beijing: "Then let's go to Guangde Tower instead."
Guangde Building is crowded with people at this time. To borrow a line: "Mr. Liu Xikui, the world's number one actress, is singing here. Isn't that enough for you?" People rushed to be proud to see Liu Xikui's appearance. It's not that her acting is better than Mei, Cheng, Shang, and Xun, the four recognized Peking Opera masters, but she is a beauty.
When Peking Opera developed into the early Republic of China, there were disputes between schools, famous actors and actresses appeared everywhere, and the world was in chaos. However, this was the glorious time of this opera. But as time went by, most people seemed to be tired of watching and listening to the killing scenes of Peking Opera, and instead flocked to the melodious sounds of local operas. Therefore, the opera industry quickly absorbed the singing styles and plots of many local operas, and also began to introduce Kun Ling. The "Chongya Women's Class" was established in Beijing.
Liu Xikui has always been beautiful and well-dressed. He was already very famous before, and now he has become thisStudents in ?? academic classes. Liu Xikui, who originally had considerable attainments, was slightly refined and packaged by the Chongya Women's Class, and was first offered a performance in the "Zhonghe Garden". Unexpectedly, it became an instant hit, almost overwhelming Mei Lanfang and Cheng Yanqiu, and even approaching Shang Xiaoyun and Xun Huisheng. The general audience's eyes lit up when they saw Liu Xikui on the stage, who was so graceful and charming, and then they were mesmerized, intoxicated by her every smile, every move of her hands, and it didn't take long for her to become " Even Tan Xinpei, the king of the acting world, said: "The man is Mei Lanfang, the woman is Liu Xikui, I will give up!"
Liu Xikui has a petite figure, picturesque features, a particularly elegant and elegant temperament, and is particularly beautiful when dressed up. All the beauties who play with her are carefully selected beauties. When she is not on the stage, the stage is full of warblers and swallows. All of them are as beautiful as heavenly beings, which is dizzying to the eyes. When Liu Xikui appears on the stage. With a gentle cry and a mellow singing voice, all the Kun Ding actors she played with looked like vulgar fans in comparison. The people who were fascinated by her ranged from high-ranking officials to gentry and celebrities to traffickers and common people. She really caused a sensation in the nine cities and turned all living beings upside down.
The most admirable thing is her backbone.
When she first came to Beijing, Yuan Shikai invited her to sing in the hall, but she was rejected every time. Yuan Shikai wanted her to play cards with guests, but she also refused. She sneered at the second young master Yuan who pestered her in every possible way; the third young master Yuan threatened: "I won't get married, I'm waiting for Liu Xikui, and I won't get married until Liu Xikui gets married." She ignored him. In such a complicated environment, she maintained her self-respect and purity. She disclosed her principles of doing things: she will not pay visits to any big officials, she will not record records, she will not be photographed in costumes or casual clothes, and she will not do commercial advertisements. Her maverick, self-respecting and self-reliant personality is respected by people in the troupe industry, and she is also loved by senior troupe artists.
Even Zhang Hanqing was fascinated by Liu Xikui when he first met him. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 42 The Party of Gentlemen
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
"A good man has three gangs. Only with more people can he be stronger. Wu Jiaxiang found his good friend Zhu Guangmu, a talented scholar from Peking University who is about to graduate from the law department, and invited him to join the gang. At this time, Zhu Guangmu is thinking about where to go after graduation. He is also a passionate young man. Since Zhang Hanqing has a strong family background and has inspiring ideas - becoming a founding father of the party and establishing a great cause is the dream of every man. Zhang "Young Master" The general has such far-sightedness and his future prospects are bound to be limitless. Therefore, even though Zhang Hanqing was only half-adult and three years younger than him, Zhu Guangmu decided to join the group.
Getting to know these two people is Zhang Hanqing’s biggest gain from his several months at Peking University. If nothing else, they are also one of his basic team members. He said it was the team, but it was actually his own idea. There was still some way to go before he could truly convince the two of them. Now, at best, we can only say that we are kindred spirits. Zhang Hanqing's inner ambition of how to build a political party that is advanced, self-purifying, well-organized and disciplined was revealed to the two of them for the first time.
As the push for admission intensified, this wind eventually spread to the campus. Wu and Zhu, unlike Zhang Hanqing, were bureaucrats, so their vision was naturally not as far-sighted as Zhang Hanqing's. In fact, no matter what, seeing a safe landing point in the whirlpool of history was Zhang Hanqing's strength, and the experts of this era were far inferior. He's one of two. They believe that the storm sweeping the country has become a fact, that is, Yuan Shikai is very likely to succeed in the end. Well, if so, the dream of the People's Party in power they just promoted will be short-lived.
Therefore, when Zhang Hanqing met the two of them again one day, he obviously found that they were in a very depressed state.
Zhu Guangmu sighed and said: "Han Qing, Zhongxian, if the president becomes the emperor, what's the point of building this party? Mr. Sun's Kuomintang is so huge, hasn't it become a painting overnight?"
Zhang Hanqing is very optimistic: "If the president hadn't come here to make this move, I really wouldn't be sure of the future. Only with the current development can I see the changes in the future more clearly. I think that within a few months, the situation will take a turn for the worse." You will see the big change then."
Wu Jiaxiang admired his optimism. In any case, those who can confuse people's hearts have always been either evil or good. With Zhang Hanqing's family background, he may not have a place in Beiyang politics in the future. A little twist and turn caused his mood to change so quickly that he was not as good as a half-year-old child who was nearly ten years younger. He felt ashamed of himself. "You can't regret it once you've made your decision," he thought.
Zhang Hanqing didn't care about his status as a "proton", so he naturally ignored the possibility that Lao Yuan might send someone to monitor him, so he didn't tell the two of them to pay attention to the impact. Wu and Zhu, who were greatly encouraged by the results, began to vigorously promote the People's Party's theories among their classmates at Peking University, many of which were unfavorable predictions for Lao Yuan's ascension to the throne. Soon, the news that Zhang Hanqing was dishonest at Peking University reached Cai E's ears.
What kind of question is this? This is disrespectful to the head of state! If it weren't for Zhang Hanqing being a half-year-old child and Zhang Zuolin's favorable impression of Yuan Shikai at this time, the people from the Capital Law Enforcement Department would have invited him to drink tea directly. As the spy chief of the Republic of China, Lu Jianzhang knew the relationship between Cai E and Zhang Hanqing and deliberately revealed the information to him. He believed that Cai E was a sensible person and knew what he would do.
As expected, Cai E found Zhang Hanqing. The latter did not know that although he was cautious, his "careless making of friends" had ruined all his efforts in hiding for more than a month. When Zhang Hanqing heard that his two new followers had freely shared their theories on Yuan's defeat with their classmates, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said: "These flowers in the greenhouse have no idea of ??the cruelty of political struggle! I think back then. White terror, how many underground workers have been imprisoned and thrown their heads for this? Am I taking too big a step to do this in Beijing?"
Seeing him deep in thought, Cai E was afraid that he didn't know the pros and cons and was still trying to tempt him: "Small acts of carelessness will eventually lead to big things. Your father is loyal to Lao Yuan in a big way, but you are talking nonsense secretly. What will Lao Yuan think in his heart?" ? You have a keen sense of politics, but you have a good eye but a low hand, and you are not kind to your people. This is a big taboo for politicians! If the king is not secretive, his ministers will lose; if the minister is not secretive, he will lose his virginity; if the affairs are not secretive, he will be harmed. Therefore, a gentleman will be cautious and not careful. Come out'. You must have heard this sentence, right?"
Zhang Hanqing was sincerely convinced: "Uncle Cai Shi, I understand. This matter is too radical and the risk is too high. It is not appropriate to make such a big noise at this time. From now on, I will only keep a low profile and will not be involved in politics."
Cai E nodded, Zhang Hanqing's ability to follow the good deeds is also a virtue of a political figure. However, he still said uneasily: "In Lao Yuan's heart, a smart and capable Han Qing will never gain more points than the nonsense Han Qing, and sometimes he even has more doubts. Han Qing, I shouldn't be so happy when I see Xun Xin. You show your face in the navy and army command office. Although you are famous, whenAt this time, danger also followed. "
Zhang Hanqing said he was convinced. Cai E changed the subject: "I heard that you want to build a party. I'm very curious. The Kuomintang is so powerful, but it turns out that Lao Yuan is the president. It's not because of the military power. You are very talented in military affairs. You will go to a military academy in the future. It is not difficult for a son to inherit his father's ambition and become a pillar of the military, but why do he still do these unreliable things?"
Zhang Hanqing suppressed his smile and answered seriously: "Uncle Cai Shi, do you think that in today's China, even if Yuan Shikai is not keen on being emperor, the country's management is appropriate?"
I have never thought about this issue. Cai E is just a soldier, and his only plan is to strengthen the army and stabilize the regime through the army. He was an honest man and did not hide anything from Zhang Hanqing. He said honestly at the moment: "I have never thought about this. Although the Kuomintang was ordered to be dissolved and the Congress existed in name only, I think that for a country as big as China and in these troubled times, There is a rational way to centralize power."
Zhang Hanqing shook his head: "I also support the centralization of power, but it is obvious that the current centralization of power is obviously not enough! The governors of various places are also provincial governors, which lays the groundwork for future warlord separatism. What do you think of China? I have studied history thoroughly and know that China has been a country with a profound tradition of warlords since ancient times. As long as there is an opportunity, there will always be a few grass-headed kings. These people are a hidden danger to the country.
Even now, the president mainly focuses on wooing the governors who have heavy military forces in each province. Even if he has the strongest military power in China, if someone else comes to power, these local powerful factions will really put the authority of the central government before them. In your eyes? !
???And looking at the world's great powers, wherever the country is stable, the command of the military is concentrated in the hands of civilian officials rather than military generals. Using culture to control force has also been an iron law throughout Chinese history. As long as China's local military power is not concentrated in the hands of the state, this hidden danger will never be eliminated.
Soldiers have completely different views on the world situation than civilians. Their mentality is guided by their professional experience. This situation I call "professional extreme". They are accustomed to looking at the structure, level, strategy and behavior of the world situation from the perspective of professional experience. The difference is that they habitually use their expertise to solve problems. In short, they will overemphasize the role of military power in policy. In the past, warlords relied on their troops to respect themselves and used their troops to attack the enemy. This was the reason for their misfortune.
Soldiers tend to focus on the present. If there are differences, there will be problems. If there are problems, use actions to solve them. Deal with the problems in front of you. Once they are dealt with, there will be no problem. In general, military deterrence and confrontation are the way they are accustomed to doing things.
? ?The civil service includes analysts, strategists, and diplomats. These people are more inclined to consider the overall national strategy. They know how to use diplomacy to achieve national goals and protect national interests. They pay more attention to grand strategy and the art of diplomacy. They can put aside disputes and seek common ground while reserving differences.
Therefore, unlike various localities trying to win the support of generals and recruiting troops, I believe that while attaching importance to force, we should also pay attention to the construction of the civil service team.
Whether they are soldiers or civilians, their skills are important to the country, and the leader's task is to coordinate the two and maintain a balance. The premise is centralization of power. It's a pity that President Yuan's centralization of power is to concentrate power on himself. This is a typical autocracy and is far from what Panzi calls for. I'm not saying that autocracy is bad, I just think that excessive concentration of power in one person will cause greater harm once the situation changes.
Because people are bound to die, even invincible heroes will always have an eternal enemy that they cannot defeat. This enemy is called time.
Without a stable power balance mechanism, once he loses to time, it will cause unprecedented harm. If he is old and ignorant, and makes wrong choices without anyone daring to point them out, it will bring endless disaster to the country; if he does not let go of power until his death, unpredictable changes will occur in the inheritance of power, which will also bring disaster to the country. Bring disaster! "
Isn’t it? Hasn’t gerontocracy brought enough suffering to China? The loss of one country set China back twenty years. Didn’t Mao Zedong, whom Zhang Hanqing admired the most, also have situations where his appointed successor could not control the situation? In the end, it was the second-generation successors who learned from the experience and formulated a famous retirement system for central leaders, which enabled China's political operations to move toward balance.
Cai E also understood the dangers of military attachés taking over power, but this was the first time he had heard such a clear analysis and summary by Zhang Hanqing. Seeing Zhang Hanqing speak clearly and eloquently, he suddenly felt extremely gratified. Is it true that I am not alone? Or is it "every generation has talented people"? Or a combination of both? I couldn’t tell for the moment.
He was determined to take the exam: "So, Han Qing, what do you think is the solution to this problem?"
here we go again! Zhang Hanqing has witnessed this for hundreds of years, so of course he has a way. He took a deep breath and said clearly: "Build a party! Give centralized power to the party for control! Our party is not a party of partisans and opponents, but a party of gentlemen!"

Chapter 48 Knowing the Jingjing
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Seeing that Zhang Hanqing and others were not bandits, Miss Zhu San’s face began to return to its original state of confidence. No matter how strong you are, you are not afraid as long as you show yourself on the table. Although there are many people in the capital's three religions and nine schools, there are not many who would not give his father Zhu Qiqian face. He is a figure that even Lao Yuan respects. Miss Zhu San is a frequent visitor in the social circle, so she still has this knowledge.
She didn’t know the background of Zhang Hanqing and others, but based on their courage and the momentum of their support, she judged that Zhang Hanqing still had some background. It was just a small incident, so there was no need to delve into it any further. She cleverly kept silent about the dispute just now, and continued the topic: "Little brother, if you want to chase me, the team will line up from Wudaokou to Dazhong Temple. !”
After the advent of Western style, upper-class ladies no longer have such taboos about being pursued by men. Instead, according to Western thinking, it is a recognition of their own charm. Miss Zhu San had seen many such scenes, so she chose a subject that she could handle well to see how Zhang Hanqing would respond.
After getting through the unpleasantness just now, especially after seeing that Zhang Hanqing may not be an inconspicuous identity, her perception has changed drastically. When I took a closer look at Zhang Hanqing, I could vaguely notice that he was different.
Looking at his appearance alone, the young Zhang Hanqing looks very comfortable. If it were not for his age, Miss Zhu San would not be afraid of having such a suitor. Different from other suitors, Zhang Hanqing looked at her more with a sense of teasing than obsession. This made Miss Zhu San, who was doted on by all kinds of people, very unhappy. In her opinion, she should treat all men, old and young. That's right. She is very confident in her appearance and temperament, so she is used to seeing men who are like moths to a flame. Maybe Zhang Hanqing is too young to understand the style?
Is Zhang Hanqing someone who doesn’t understand Fengyue? If future generations are included, he is also a veteran driver who has experienced many battles. However, how could he waste his precious time pursuing women with such great ambitions? In this era, beautiful women are destined to stay with capable men: for capable men, women will come on their own; for incompetent men, women will leave once they come.
And according to the general trend, he is destined to be a young marshal of the Feng family. He can make a fortune by lying down and working hard. What's more, he is determined to use his own knowledge to break into a new world? Since the future is limitless, given time, will there still be fewer women? I still have a lot of important things to do, so I won't waste my time picking up girls.
“But I don’t have much to brag about now. For a socialite like this who has experienced big events, it will be very difficult to conquer her. Especially for this famous socialite in the Republic of China, who has eyes above her head, if you flatter her, she will look down on you; on the contrary, if you treat her as if she is nothing, she will rush to find you.
So he said with a smile: "What a long list! Are you a fly?" He didn't even consider that this would make the other party angry or unhappy.
“As the saying goes, being strong without desire, in the eyes of Miss Zhu San, Zhang Hanqing’s nonchalant image only adds to his charm. She was used to men prostrating themselves under her pomegranate skirt. The more Zhang Hanqing showed a nonchalant expression, the more interested she became in challenging. She also smiled and said: "Whether it's the flies chasing the smell or the orchid room smelling the fragrance, in short, I like you very much as a little brother. I am not at fault for what happened today, and I apologize to you. I also hope that you, sir, will have a lot of money and don't do it again." You’re arguing with me.”
How could Zhang Hanqing be a man who cares about women? What's more, to be honest, Miss Zhu San's appearance cannot be said to be undesirable to him. Regardless of whether he is an 80-year-old man or an 18-year-old boy, his tolerance for women, especially beautiful women, is surprisingly consistent. So, he smiled gracefully and said, "Then we can forget our grudges with a smile."
Once the words were spoken, the two sides seemed to have come to an end, which relieved the police officers who were "watching" the fight. There was no breakdown between the two parties, and it was a happy scene for everyone. Otherwise, as long as Miss Zhu San complains to the Police Department afterwards that they let Zhang Hanqing and others go, given her background, they will not be able to take advantage of her.
But they also admired Zhang Hanqing: Who in the capital doesn’t know Miss Zhu San’s reputation? It really scares me when I hold it in my hand, and it will melt when I hold it in my mouth. I have never heard of anyone showing off to her, but this young man can do it! And the most commendable thing is that Miss Zhu San did this! They are both men, and it is inevitable that their admiration is like the waves of a river.
Will Miss Zhu San let it go easily? That Zhang Hanqing didn't understand her character very well. She was determined to lift this arrogant little man (let's call him that) up high, and then throw him down hard. Only then could she understand the reason for today's incident and the revenge for ignoring her.
She smiled slightly and said, "I've been talking for a long time, but I still don't know what your name is, little brother?"
This is to test Zhang Hanqing’s depth. Why did such a person suddenly appear in the capital? The rhythm of not taking the Zhu family seriously at all. Who doesn’t know Zhu Qixi?He is Lao Yuan’s favorite general!
Zhang Hanqing is not afraid to tell her. Heroes are not afraid of their background. Zhang Zuolin is a general and division commander with heavy troops, and his status is not bad. He smiled slightly and said: "Excuse me, my name is Zhang Xueliang, courtesy name Hanqing, and my father is General Shengwu Zhang Zuolin."
"Oh," Miss Zhu San said. After a long quarrel, it turned out that he was Zhang Zuolin's son. No wonder he was so arrogant! But your father is just a general from Fengtian. Why do you want to show off your power at the feet of the emperor? You must know that there are dozens of generals like this in the country, and there are even more famous and powerless generals in the capital. Who would not be polite to Zhu Qiqian when meeting him?
As for Zhang Hanqing himself, she simply ignored him. He is relatively well-known among politicians in the capital, but he is a young person in the social circle. Miss Zhu San has never heard of this person at all. "Fengtian, hehe." She could only hehe.
The Northeast of that era was still the "Longxing" land of the Qing Dynasty not long ago. Even though millions of people from the Guan area crossed the mountains and seas to enter the Guandong area, they were not tolerated by mainstream society and felt like an extremely cold and barren land. Although Beijing and Fengtian are only separated by the Great Wall and the Western Liaoning Corridor.
In addition, bandits run rampant outside the customs, and there are disputes between Japanese and Russian forces. There has been no peace for a long time. This makes Miss Zhu San and others feel like city people see country people, just like today's Shanghainese feel superior to outsiders. generally.
The original desire to win suddenly evolved into the idea of ????teaching this young wild boy a lesson: let you, a country bumpkin, see what elegance and heritage are. She said with a smile: "It turns out to be brother Xiao Zhang. I will entertain friends at Zhimei Zhai at the front door at noon tomorrow. If you have time, come and join us."
Although Zhang Hanqing was not disgusted with her face and figure, he was particularly dissatisfied with the way she called him. "Little brother, little brother", after calling him for a long time, he actually thought he was the "little" brother. As a man who has strict requirements for himself, he firmly believes that a man conquers a woman not only by his magnanimity, but also by his length and hardness.
The reason why I have been chatting with her for so long is because I want to see what the upper class of this era is like. Another idea is to get to know some people and see if there is any chance to help Fengtian's father as much as possible.
“It’s a deal,” he said. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 49 Awkward attendance
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Ms. Zhu San is in the upper class society. The people she meets are either the daughters of famous families in Beiyang, or they are surrounded by young men with rich family backgrounds. People of ordinary status may not dare to get close to her. Therefore, in order to prepare Zhang Hanqing to attend this banquet, Zhu Guangmu, Tan Hai and others made a lot of planning.
The outfit is all available, and Zhang Hanqing has already begun to receive a Western education, so the suit is ready-made. However, Tan Hai and others can no longer wear military uniforms. It would be too dazzling to appear in social situations. Therefore, it is necessary to buy a set of decent clothes. No matter what the formal occasion, they cannot lose the face of the future young commander.
However, the number of people cannot be too large. The money Xiao Zhang brought this time was limited, and Zhu Guangmu’s financial dilemma also affected Zhang Hanqing. When arriving, Zhang Zuolin handed Tan Hai 20,000 yuan, which was their living expenses during their stay in Beijing. Based on Zhang Zuolin's status, compared with the actions of other warlords in this era, it was not too much. However, Zhang Hanqing knew that Zhang Zuolin was uncharacteristically "generous" for this money.
Lao Zhang was born a bandit and suffered a lot when he was young, so he still maintained his true qualities as a farmer after becoming successful. In the Zhang Mansion, there is absolutely no such thing as living and drinking, and Zhang Hanqing's body has no dandy habits for the time being. Changes would only begin after Zhang Zuolin became the king of Northeast China and when he became a young marshal and received his salary.
In the end, he decided to take Zhu Guangmu, Tan Hai and two other guards with him, which made Zhu Guangmu extremely happy. Although he didn't have the chance to come out and meet Miss Zhu San in the evening, it was her grace and splendor that made him fall in love. Now that he had the opportunity to kiss Fangze up close, he was still happy and couldn't help humming a tune during the fitting. So Zhang Hanqing teased him: "Brother Xiufeng, can a woman make you fascinated?"
Of course Zhu Guangmu said no. After all, he was three years older than Zhang Hanqing, so he still had to retain some dignity. He also replied: "Han Qing, you are so enthusiastic. If I don't show more enthusiasm, wouldn't it be a little inappropriate? After all, you are going to recognize your sister."
It’s a joke that Zhu San took advantage of him several times. In private, Zhang Hanqing does not have the consciousness of a major general, but is still relatively approachable. Firstly, his acquired education is like this - he will be an ordinary person in later generations. This can be considered as the result of the Western education he is currently receiving; secondly, those who want to achieve great things must recruit talents from all over and give them a dead face. Who sees it? Zhang Hanqing knows very well that capable people often have strange tempers, and he will never take the initiative to bend the rules. Only by taking the initiative to put aside his status and unite all those who can be united can Feng Xi grow up quickly. "The Duke of Zhou vomits food, and the world returns to its heart." Is this a joke?
So the group of people went to the front door with great interest. In the early Republic of China, there were eight buildings in Beijing. Except for Dongxing Tower in Dong'anmen and Anfu Tower in Wangfujing, the other six were located in the prosperous Qianmen Dashilar area, such as Zhimizhai and Zhengyang Tower.
Along the way, wherever Zhang Hanqing saw, there were many restaurants and snacks gathered together. In Menzhang Hutong, which is about 165 meters long and 3 meters wide, more than 30 time-honored snacks are "squeezed in". Fushunzhai Sauce Beef, Rice Cake King, Wandou Wan, Pie Road, Exploded Belly Sheep, Chef Yang, Rice Cake Yang, Tofu Naobai, Exploded Belly Feng, Cheese Wei, Laodou Fu Wonton Kang, Fried Shaosha Sha, Baozi Yang, Tongyixuan Mutton, roasted pork belly, Dexingzhai roasted mutton offal soup, Junwang Ye Shaobing everything is available. Smelling the fragrance, looking at the noisy scene in front of me, and hearing the loud shouting in my ears, I can't help but sigh in my heart: This is life!
This also enhanced his sense of mission: How could such a prosperous and beautiful scenery be allowed to be ravaged by the Japanese hooves later? When we really arrived in the Republic of China, we found that it was not as depressed as what was written in the textbooks. After all, it was still moving forward. After all, it had not been stopped by the Japanese invasion. The heavy burden on Zhang Hanqing is to make this never happen again!
At this time, Zhimei Zhai has not yet been renamed Zhimei Building. From the moment he stepped into the courtyard, the noise outside was immediately isolated, and what appeared in front of everyone was clean and tranquil. No one is accustomed to the conclusion of later generations: "A good house is to find tranquility in the bustle." Another person jokingly said: "The best community in China is Zhongnanhai."
Although Zhang Hanqing is young, the guys are very sophisticated and have no intention of neglecting him. This is where civilians and princes coexist. However, when Zhang Hanqing said that he was invited by Miss Zhu San, the receptionist still seemed surprised. He took the group of people outside a private room even more diligently.
The so-called private room is not a single large room, but because the rooms here are separated by wooden fans. If someone holds a banquet, the partitions can be opened at any time, just like the sliding doors of later generations. The waiter opened a wooden fan, and Zhang Hanqing saw an equally young, handsome and familiar face. He was also stunned when he saw Zhang Hanqing, and Zhang Hanqing gestured with a smile. The two of them asked almost at the same time: "Han Qing, why are you here too?" and then laughed at the same time. ?Finally, Zhang Hanqing saluted respectfully to a fifty-year-old general beside Feng Yong: "It turns out Shibo is here too."
This Han Qing is not that Han Qing. The Han Qing mentioned by Zhang Hanqing is the eldest son of Feng Delin, a powerful figure in Fengtian City. His surname is Feng Mingyong, he has the same name as Han Qing, and he was born in the same year as him. The fathers of both parties were officials in the same dynasty, so the children are naturally familiar with each other. However, in recent years, as the political differences between Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin have deepened, the feeling of their friendly childhood is passing away.
??????????????????????????????????????????? However, there is still some affection between us when we meet in different places. Zhang Hanqing had no ill feelings toward Feng Yong, but rather admired him very much. This Feng Yong later became a member of the Feng Clan in history. His obsession with airplanes and running schools made him rise to prominence and left him with an immortal reputation. It is normal for parents to have disputes now, and Feng Delin could not calculate that he would lose power, so it is normal for Feng Yong to be competitive.
“Could it be that in order to compete with his father in Fengtian, Feng Delin also put his mind to the capital? After Zhang Zuolin persuaded him to join, he followed him almost at the same time. Now that he and his son have come to Beijing, it seems that he is doing a lot of work behind the scenes.
There were many people in the room, and although four tables were set up in a row, there were almost no empty seats. Zhang Hanqing saw an empty seat in the corner from a distance, but there were five people on his side!
Tan Hai was not used to this kind of social interaction, so he asked everyone else to go outside and make other stoves. The two guards naturally agreed. There were quite a lot of snacks and delicacies here. It was so pleasant for a few people to gather together. Why should they have to attend the banquet with the Major General? Zhu Guangmu was somewhat moved, but was too embarrassed to refuse. Zhang Hanqing knew what he was thinking and grabbed him: "Brother Xiufeng, just stay with me."
There were so many people, but the real owner did not appear, but everyone was talking in twos and threes, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other. He was young and low-ranking, so naturally he didn't know that among these people, there were extremely famous figures in the Beiyang government, including several chiefs, and the others were either celebrities or important officials with real power.
As a half-grown child like him, he peeked in, so naturally no one would pay attention to him, and they would all think he was someone else's child. While he was browsing the faces, someone took the seat.
I stood like this for a long time, but still had no place. In future generations, he would have walked away; but at this time, he could not leave so low-key. In any case, he is a guest invited by Miss Zhu San and wants to let her know his dissatisfaction. Having decided to pursue a determined life, he would never allow his heart to be wronged.
Miss Zhu San finally arrived belatedly. Different from before, she was dressed very fashionably and her ladylike style was clearly visible. This is ridiculous. Why does a teenage girl have to imitate adults in dressing up? It’s seriously inconsistent with my age!
She walked gently, supported by a middle-aged man, and her ladylike temperament was unmistakable. Seeing Zhang Hanqing at the door, she was surprised: "Why are you here?"
Zhang Hanqing’s nameless fire started, so I dared myself to come all the way here (it’s not too far, but the car trip for five of us cost an ocean), what I was waiting for was this sentence! So, her warm invitation last night was just to tease him? He was very dissatisfied, and his tone was unusually loud: "Miss Zhu San, if I remember correctly, it seems you invited me, right?!"
Before Zhu Songjun could answer, the middle-aged man next to him said seriously as he walked in the door: "Whose child are you from? What's going on?" His words were not angry and intimidating, and even Zhang Hanqing felt unnaturally pressured. . He didn't even notice that when the people in the room saw this man coming, they all stood up with smiles on their faces.
I have even met Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui, why are I still afraid of you? He also estimated who this person was, but it did not stop him from being dissatisfied: "Shibo, it doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that some things cannot be agreed casually. The third lady personally invited me to attend the banquet, and the result will be like this, I'm very dissatisfied!" Zhang Hanqing already roughly knew who the other party was, and only then could he dare to say so.
The middle-aged man who was entering the private room stopped and turned his head. Zhang Hanqing's tone was unkind. The key was that because of his arrival, the noise in the private room became silent. Zhang Hanqing's words clearly echoed in everyone's ears. He couldn't just ignore them.
"Oh, Songyun, is this true?"
No matter who the nephew is, the Zhu family, as today’s owners, cannot be rude. If this matter is true, then the Zhu family is in the wrong, which is unacceptable to him who advocates freedom and discretion. Even if Zhang Hanqing is just a big kid, he can't miss this courtesy.
Miss Zhu San lowered her head in embarrassment and said softly: "My daughter was just joking with him" Facing Zhang Hanqing's strong attack, at this moment in front of her father, who was so fierce, she could only lower her eyebrows and act softly. Zhang Hanqing dared to shout in public, but she didn't dare - she couldn't afford to embarrass this man. She couldn't say that she just said it casually, but Zhang Hanqing came so cooperatively.
Zhu Qiqian seemed to understand something, and he couldn't reprimand his daughter on this occasion. But he was good at resolving embarrassment, and he immediately did something in front of everyone. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??

Chapter 50 Birthday

Although Zhu’s family has a broad family background, making friends is his way to survive in politics. Seeing his daughter's embarrassed expression, he knew that this matter must be related to her. But making such a scene at the door, no matter what the reason, would be detrimental to his reputation. He was also a decisive person. He knew that he could not act emotionally. He did not ask any questions at the moment. He glanced at Zhu Songyun sullenly, then quickly changed his face and said with a smile: "It turns out that I am Songyun's guest, but I am rude. Come on. We are all guests, and since Songyun invites us, let’s sit down together.”
Zhang Hanqing decided not to eat. After he finished piling up the harsh words, he just wanted to leave as a bachelor. No matter where he went to eat, it would be a waste! But who is Zhu Qiqian? Although Zhang Hanqing is young, he has revealed his stubbornness and unwillingness to be subordinated to others. He knew very well that his daughter, although she had a wide range of contacts, was still targeted, and the people she made friends with were all of a certain net worth. Although I don’t know who this person is, it’s better to offend less people when it’s not necessary. Having been an official in Beijing for a long time, I have a deep understanding of the ups and downs of the workplace.
Zhu Qiqian personally made an appointment for the dinner. It was such a big honor that Zhang Hanqing couldn’t walk away, but it was already clear that it was a boring meal. Will the meal still be interesting? He thought for a while, but still refused and said: "Thank you Shibo for your kindness, but there are too many guests in the room. If you have to bother Shibo to arrange it again, Xueliang will be very uneasy. Several of my friends are outside, so I still go with They work well together.”
Zhu Qiqian thought hard and couldn't remember whose child was called "Xue Liang", but when Shibo Zhang Hanqing called him, he had to make arrangements for him no matter what, otherwise he would be deeply offended. He glanced around and found that there was indeed no empty seat at the table, but this did not hinder his decisiveness: "You are Songyun's friend, and you are my descendant. Then sit with us, and we can get close together."
When the Zhu family invites people, of course the house is full of guests and friends. It is not easy to find two consecutive empty seats in a short period of time here. The key is that these two young people, especially Zhang Hanqing, are fearless. I am afraid that this kind of temporary seat is not suitable. In order to avoid any trouble, the middle-aged man immediately decided to let Zhang Hanqing and his family sit together.
Needless to say, this middle-aged man is Zhu Qiqian, the father of Miss Zhu San, a celebrity in Beiyang, the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Department of Transportation, the current Minister of Internal Affairs and the director of the Preparatory Office for the Grand Ceremony of Yuan Deng.
Today is the sixteenth birthday of his favorite third daughter. At the age of twenty-eight, it turned out to be a major event in the girl's life, and she originally planned to hold a party at home - he originally admired Western style and always ate Western food at home. However, an important person from outside the customs came with his son and proposed to organize a banquet for him. It was difficult to refuse the hospitality, and Miss Zhu San liked the excitement the most, so she decided to organize it here. It was a small gathering of relatives and friends, only close friends were invited.
However, given his status, how could it be called "small" if it was a small gathering? As soon as the news came, countless people surged, making Zhu Qiqian regret his mistake. But if you don’t slap the smiling faces, they are all colleagues and friends. When everyone is here, how can you turn them away? We had no choice but to reserve the entire hotel lobby, with only one corner slightly covered with a screen for family gatherings.
The wooden fan opened again, and it turned out that there was another table in the deepest place. They were all family members. A middle-aged woman and several girls of different ages formed a circle. Seeing this scene, even Zhang Hanqing was confused - he wouldn't be with the Zhu family, would he? This face is not an ordinary one!
I can’t help but admire Zhu Qiqian’s adaptability and sophisticated skills. With this skill, he will definitely be successful in Beiyang. He pretended to be frightened and said: "How dare I sit with my aunts, sisters and sisters? If my uncle can arrange for two more chairs, we will have more sympathy outside."
In fact, it was Zhu Qiqian's emergency response to let Zhang Hanqing sit with him. He came from a Westerning background and had no grudges against the relationship between men and women, but letting outsiders sit at the family table in public would make them wonder. Because some of his daughters have reached the age of getting hairpins or even getting married, allowing a strange man to join them would appear too abrupt to the outside world and could easily cause a sensation.
Yes, sensational. Considering the popularity of his third, most famous daughter, in the outside world, this influence concerned him very much. It would be fine if it was Zhang Hanqing alone. After all, he was still young, and there was another Zhu Guangmu who had to consider.
It’s not that Zhu Guangmu is bad, on the contrary, in Zhu Qiqian’s evaluation, although Zhu Guangmu has been silent next to him, he is calm and measured, with a high-spirited attitude, showing a good education. In addition, he also wore suits and leather shoes, so he was considered a young talent, and Zhu Qiqian admired him very much. But the more this is the case, the more attention should be paid to the attitude of the outside world. If someone else suggested it, in order to avoid suspicion, he really wanted to add two chairs, or move some old friends sitting next to him to this table. Zhang Hanqing's words made him make up his mind. Isn't it just a meal?
He waved his hand,??The position of the Civil Service Chief is more important.
Of course, that’s not to say he’s bad, otherwise the director of the Preparatory Office for the Enthronement wouldn’t let him do it. However, the turmoil in the cabinet was much faster than the changes in the generals commanding the troops. It was still difficult to say what would happen in the future. He was also glad that he had been cautious and did not drive Zhang Hanqing and others away. A person's life is very long, and besides, he still has the next generation around him. In politics, one more friend really means one more path.
He is not a pedantic person, otherwise he would not have experienced the Republic of China and New China and still lived a prosperous life. His smile grew wider: "Yuting has done a lot during this period, and the president appreciates him very much." Bringing up Yuan Shikai shows that he still has the advantage of being close to the center.
Zhang Hanqing also pretended to be very philistine and said: "It's all because of Shibo's kindness. Before Xueliang came to Beijing, my father also asked me to get closer to Shibo." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 69 The prince sells the palace

Anyway, when Gu Weijun introduced Zhang Hanqing to Gates, Zhang Hanqing was determined to facilitate this matter. Although we know that Concorde eventually settled in China, knowing the history and contributing to the history have different psychological impacts.
At this time in Beijing, there were many wealthy families who were in dire straits. Since the end of the former Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners disciples who had lost their status politically and relied on charity for their livelihood could no longer hide their honorable faces and broke up their families one after another.
During the more than 200 years of Manchu rule, bannermen had special privileges, but at the same time, they were not engaged in production and were prohibited from engaging in industry, commerce, and trade. The problem of living in poverty became more and more obvious later on. High-minded but low-handed, indifferent to production, and incompetentit has become a cancer that hinders social development and stability. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the court also made some changes, allowing them to either engage in farming or business, with the goal of solving their personal livelihoods, but the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911 pulled them into a new era in advance.
In Lao She's play "Teahouse" it is vividly shown that the living conditions of the banner people have evolved to the point of collective destitution. On May 23, 1920, Shanghai's "Republic of China Daily" published an article "The Living Conditions of Today's Banner People", which roughly divided the living conditions of the Banner people that day into four categories: Noble official refers to those relatives and nobles who enjoy the "Preferential Treatment Regulations" Although this group of people in the clan have accumulated assets, they cannot make ends meet, and because they are young and inexperienced, "all the members of the family will share the fat" and are expected to "not die of poverty in the future"; the livelihood sect is those who are diligent, strong, and capable Those who operate and are self-reliant, "this sect is the best among the banner tribes", and can gradually be assimilated with other ethnic groups; the Labor sect is made up of Han military banner people, who generally make a living by rickshaws, and are poor but can still survive on their own The "waiting-to-die" faction are those destitute people who are destined to "die in old age".
This Prince Yu's Mansion is the so-called "noble official faction". According to later generations, as long as you have your own big house in the capital, you will not starve to death no matter what. But the tiger will never fall. In such a large family, there are hundreds of mouths to deal with, so it is no longer enough to rely on the ancestors.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Pass, thanks to the efforts of the Eight Banners soldiers. In recognition of his contribution to the establishment of the Qing Empire, there were the so-called Twelve Iron Hat Kings, who were hereditary and indiscriminate. Among them, eight families were related to the country and had made military exploits at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. They were granted the title of "Gongfeng" because of their merits; four of them were granted the title for their contribution to stabilizing the country in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. , that is, "enfeng".
The earliest Prince of Yu was Duduo, who was famous in history. But in later generations, his descendants, like other Eight Banners disciples, became uneducated and ignorant playboys.
After the Qing emperor abdicated, the small imperial court still existed in the Forbidden City, leaving a group of clan elders to remember the past glory. In 1913, Prince Yu died of illness. In order to "continue" the favor of the imperial court, the small court specially issued an order: Duuanzhen inherited the title of Prince Yu. The small court did nothing, it was just a way to show off the court's airs, and it had no practical significance at all.
Duanzhen, whose courtesy name was Dongping, was named Jinping when he became an adult. He was 4 years old when he inherited the title and became the last Prince of Yu.
Unlike before when there was still a prince’s salary, the Qing Dynasty was gone, so naturally no one paid the salary, and everyone went their separate ways. Without income, life becomes difficult. But in the huge Prince Yu's Mansion, there must be some people on duty, right? Sweeping the floors, repairing and repairing the house, and guarding the house are still a lot of expenses. Therefore, the actual owner of Prince Yu's Mansion and the biological mother of the last Prince Yu, Tong Jia, became the legitimate Taifu Jin. Now that she had the real power to dispose of the property of Prince Yu's Mansion, she began to have ideas about this large courtyard that only spent money but did not make any money.
Since the big house is a burden, it’s better to sell it, and then everyone can find their own mother, and their family can live a good life That’s why Butler Tong was appointed to find a middleman to sell the palace.
I heard that the buyer was a foreigner, and Butler Tong felt that something was wrong. Foreigners are rich, and although foreigners are a bit domineering, their spirit of contract is truly admirable. Anyway, as long as it is written in black and white, people will definitely abide by it. Maybe this is the so-called chivalry? But it seems that the Chinese government has repeatedly signed unequal treaties and others have always asked China to abide by them.
Anyway, Butler Tong is interested, but he is still a little worried about Zhang Hanqing's identity. For such a big thing, it's a bit too casual for such a young person!
But Zhang Hanqing seemed to understand his thoughts and said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't talk about such a big thing casually, and you won't do it casually. There must be a charter, right? In this way, I will go back Arrange for the owner to come see the place, and the owner will negotiate the specific price with you."
Butler Tong asked unintentionally: "May I ask this little brother, what does your boss's family do? What should you call it?"
Seeing that Zhang Hanqing is young, he may really have this information, but it would be best if he could make a deal without him.nbsp; And selling the house to a foreigner will not damage your face. Otherwise, selling it casually and spreading it around will not look good after all. "
Of course, Mrs. Tong Jia hopes to cut off the trouble quickly. Anyway, the house is not her own, so letting it sit for nothing will be a waste of money and she will also face the dilemma of being unable to make ends meet. She pondered and said: "This is a good idea. But are the American buyers that Master Zhang mentioned reliable?"
Zhang Hanqing understood what she meant: "Absolutely reliable, they are used to do good things, uh, build schools. As long as Tai Fujin signs the contract, no matter how your clan members object, they will definitely act in accordance with the contract, and they are not afraid of lawsuits going to the Forbidden City." go!"
Tai Fujin was also very straightforward: "Deal. As long as the deal is negotiated, two points of this price will be paid at that time." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 70 The Major General’s Business Experience
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
So the servants brought in paper and ink and signed on the spot: "This is Zhang Hanqing, the real estate agent, who is the lead for the Dongdan Yu Prince's Palace and the Rockefeller Foundation to lead the palace's transactions. In order to make things happen, he will pay 2% of the house price as a reward and cash it on the spot. .”
Zhang Hanqing also told the buyer after he opened the deal, just because he was afraid that Prince Yu would abandon him and deal with the other party on his own. No one knows who Rockefeller is, but Tong Jia will not regret it because Miss Zhu San is there as a witness. What's more, they were not sure they could contact the American in the short term, so they had to be on guard against long nights and many dreams.
With this contract, Zhang Hanqing feels much more comfortable. He drove Zhu Songjun's car to the Union Medical College, found Gates, whom he had just met yesterday, and told him the good news. Yesterday, Gu Weijun was the translator, and today, Miss Zhu San was doing the job, and she spoke English very well.
To be honest, it is not easy to find such a 150-acre place in Dongdan, and Zhang Hanqing told Gates without reservation that the possible transaction price of the palace was slightly higher than 200,000 yuan, which Gates admired very much. Based on the current housing prices in Beijing, if you put everything together, the price of such a large piece of land will be far more than 200,000, or even more than 500,000. Therefore, their original psychological price was also around 500,000. Xiao Zhang would have the opportunity to save half of their money with just one word, of course he would be happy.
"Mist Zhang, I am very happy for what you have done for us! If we can close the deal, I will pay you 2% of the market price. Now, let's draft this contract."
Repeatedly, that’s a profit of eight thousand oceans! Zhu Songjun looked at Zhang Hanqing in surprise, and then realized that her brother had completed a big purchase without saying a word. No wonder he stopped looking at the beautiful scenery and insisted on getting himself into the gang, this money obsessed man. Even so, I still admire his methods.
But Zhang Hanqing said very bachelorly: "Mr. Gates, I am not helping you for money. First, it is the care of my sworn brother, and second, I am very happy to be able to make some contributions to the Rockefeller Foundation."
Gates is also a very experienced China hand, and I thought Zhang Hanqing was being polite——among acquaintances, don't Chinese people have this attitude towards money? He said in authentic Beijing dialect: "Mr. Zhang, according to our American custom, it is called one code to one code. You have helped us a lot, which is very interesting to our friends. I can't let you just like this." Came back empty-handed.”
Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "Since we are friends, Mr. Gates should know that there is an old saying in China, 'Friends have the meaning of making money.' If Mr. Gates feels uneasy, wait until the matter is completed, then treat him to dinner." "
Gates has seen countless people of all kinds in China, but this is the first time he has seen people who have huge wealth but do not take it. He knew that Zhang Hanqing's father was the largest warlord in Fengtian, but that didn't mean that he could regard money as dirt. On the contrary, cats that didn't touch fish were quite rare. Seeing Zhang Hanqing's sincere refusal, I was very surprised.
Miss Zhu San was also surprised that Zhang Hanqing could really give up this 4,000-yuan income at the drop of a hat. It seemed that she was wrong to say that he was obsessed with money. However, based on the fact that he has been praised by several celebrities in Beijing, he is a smart man and must have great intentions. Only a ghost would believe the so-called contribution to the Rockefeller Foundation.
"But no one is so stupid that they have to give away money. They just talk again, and there is a lot less estrangement between the two parties. Zhang Hanqing believed that it was necessary to strike while the iron was hot, and Gates also wanted to get things done quickly. Seeing that everyone had time, he returned to Prince Yu's Mansion.
This time the real owner appeared, and the negotiations between the two parties became less foggy. In view of Zhang Hanqing's words first, and Prince Yu's palace not wanting to lose face by fussing over things, the two parties closed the deal for US$125,000, a total of US$225,000 in silver dollars. The two parties agreed that after the settlement was completed by HSBC cashier's check on the next day, Prince Yu's Mansion would move out on the same day.
Prince Yu was the first among the princes to sell the palace. Not only did he set the precedent for a prince to sell the palace, but he also sold the palace to foreigners. This move was shocking and had huge repercussions. Major newspapers in the capital rushed to report on it, and there was a lot of discussion in the public. There was an endless stream of gossip. Since it was done secretly, by the time everyone learned the news from the newspapers, they had already moved into Huangtugang Hutong, Dongsi Zhushi Street, and were counting money.
The clan members and the last Prince Yu argued with each other, but were ridiculed. After learning that the buyer was an American and that the middleman was the son of Zhang Zuolin, a rising star from Guandong favored by the Minister of the Interior, and that Miss Zhu San was also a partner, he didn't dare to dwell on it anymore and had no intention of doing anything public. However, from then on, Prince Yu and his family members turned against each other and had no contact with each other. However, the bad reputation given to the last Prince Yu was actually unjust.
Only Zhang Hanqing could earn 4,500 yuan by changing hands, which was extremely satisfying. In order to "repay" Zhu Songjun for his help and fulfill his promise,He really wanted to buy a car for her, but fortunately Miss Zhu San finally rejected his offer.
“I don’t think that Xiao Zhang’s brother’s status in the eyes of the Qing clan has greatly increased after this battle. They all think that he has a way. Otherwise, how could he complete such an important transaction without anyone noticing? More than two hundred thousand is a sky-high price at this time! Although he spoke loudly about morality, after all, the people in Prince Yu's palace had lost their burdens and lived a good life. Several princes were also moved and privately invited Zhang Hanqing to help them sell their properties. Among them, Prince Zhuang caught Xiao Zhang's eyes because of his sincerity and vast territory.
King Zhuang’s position among the Iron Hat Kings has always been very embarrassing. As Meng Sen said: "Prince Zhuang his achievements and reputation are far lower than those of other kings. He must be hereditary and replace him." Among the eight iron-hatted kings in the early Qing Dynasty, only Prince Zhuang was not born by his legitimate wife, and He is not worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple, which shows his status. It is generally believed that when Gaozong determined the eight families, he thought that Taizong's lineage would occupy at least two seats, and apart from King Su, only King Zhuang's family was left in Taizong's lineage. Only in this way will King Zhuang enter the ranks of hereditary officials.
Prince Zhuang in the late Qing Dynasty was a meritorious man. Because his brother connived at the Boxer Rebellion, he was eventually sentenced to death. During the Gengzi Rebellion, foreigners destroyed the palace, and the strength of Prince Zhuang's family declined sharply. In the 28th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, he achieved very few achievements. He died in the 4th year of the Republic of China, and his posthumous title was Gong. Later, his eldest son Pu Xu inherited the title and became the last Prince Zhuang.
Prince Zhuang had long wanted to sell his ancestral home, but he didn't dare to take the initiative. Now that Prince Yu has set a precedent, he is no longer secretive. He asked someone to find Zhang Hanqing and said that he would pay the cash in one lump sum and enter the village quietly, just like Prince Yu's Mansion, and no one wanted to shoot.
"However, Lao Zhuang told him that the selling price of Prince Yu's Mansion was too low, and his Prince's Mansion was taller than Prince Yu's Mansion no matter what, because it also had associated ancestral property. He and Zhang Hanqing agreed that if the price could be raised to more than 400,000 yuan, he would pay double the commission.
Mr. Zhang, who had nothing to do, was also moved. Anyway, idleness is idle. Moreover, Xiao Zhang is still very happy to take revenge if he can make the former princes and nobles fall to the level of common people. In addition, from a humanitarian perspective, it is also a good thing to prevent these down-and-out wealthy households from begging for food. Of course, more importantly, it makes money quickly.
Dad is rich. On the one hand, he has decided to take a different path. It is necessary to exercise his abilities in a timely manner. If done well, it would cost more than 10,000 yuan, and even a cannon could be purchased. Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but use his brain.
As for how to raise property prices, it is not difficult for him, a good student from later generations. The developer's tactics of holding back on selling the property and hiring people to rob it have become bad tactics in later generations, and he dismissed them (in essence, they were inconsistent with the client's confidentiality requirements). If we follow traditional methods, it is inevitable that there will be no other envious Fang Xian to get a share of the pie. After all, they are professionals and have many advantages over me, a second-rate dealer.
With the feeling that time will not wait for me, he decided to use the method of raising property prices in later generations to sell Prince Zhuang's Mansion at a good price. This technique is called concept speculation. Different from the gimmicks of housing in a school district, transferring household registration, etc., his concept is real money—treasures.
The method was very simple. He arranged to let the public know that the Americans had dug out a treasure trove of treasures during the construction of Prince Yu's Mansion into a hospital, which would allow them to build a few more hospitals. After all, it is the ancestral home of more than ten generations. Some of the treasures are normal, but they are just covered in dust because these prodigal children treat pearls as dirt.
So when the news spread, many people flocked to Beijing, fearing that they would not be able to pick up this big leak. What kind of treasure that is hundreds of years old, a treasure given by Emperor Kangxi to protect the house, a property that the prince's ancestors buried in advance to care for future generations for fear of ruining the family This kind of news spread more and more widely, which greatly aroused the enthusiasm of all parties.
There is no doubt that Prince Yu's Mansion has been acquired by others, but there are several other palaces, so there are buyers rushing to negotiate business. Zhang Hanqing, as a representative, successfully raised the house price to 500,000, which is higher than Prince Yu's Mansion. More than twice as high. Prince Zhuang knew the details, so out of gratitude, as agreed, Zhang Hanqing received 20,000 yuan at a time.
So, Miss Zhu San, who knew the inside story, had admiration for her little brother, like a torrential river
It seems that Zhu Qiqian is quite satisfied with Zhang Hanqing's approach, making him a frequent visitor to the Zhu family. However, in this uncertain season, some thoughts will only be hidden in my heart. After all, the adults haven't met yet. Zhu Qiqian, on the other hand, twice advocated the priority allocation of a large amount of police supplies to Fengtian Province. The reason was that Fengtian was too close to Beijing and its safety directly affected the capital. It was also for the sake of people's livelihood, and the same treatment was given inside and outside the customs.
Naturally, Zhang Zuolin, who got the advantage, understood this very well. He had already heard about what Feng Delin and his son were doing in Beijing. Feng climbed up to the high branch of Jiang Chaozong. He was very satisfied with Zhang Hanqing's quick response to approaching Zhu Qiqian. He even wrote a letter to Lao Zhu personally, asking him to train Zhang Hanqing. This was a good rhythm for the two families to become a common family. If not for the subsequent evolution of the political situation, it would have been a matter of course for the Zhang and Zhu families to get married in advance.
"It's a pity that the fly in the ointment is that because the profits have been huge, many Fang Xian is eyeing other princes and stealing Zhang Hanqing's business. You know, after tasting the benefits, he still wants to make a few more deals. But it doesn't matter. With a huge amount of money in his pocket, his vision has also broadened, and he has taken making money to a new level.

Chapter 77 The First Pot of Gold

The reason why politicians become figures is that although they are shameless at certain times, they can always fulfill their promises to the extreme. After Liang Shiyi counterattacked, in order to express his gratitude to Zhang Zuolin for his idea of ??"giving help in times of need", he took the initiative to accept the second benefit proposed by Zhang Hanqing.
Isn’t it just investment? With a pair of "money" eyes trained in many years of economic management work, Liang Shiyi certainly knew that building coal mines and iron mines in Fengtian was a sure profit, and no one else played the role of "talker" in Fengtian except Zhang Zuolin. Replaceable. It’s not like the wealthy men from the communication and energy department headed by him have never thought of investing in the Northeast, and they have made some gains here and there. However, given that the Japanese are disrupting the situation and the risks of large-scale investment are too great, this step has never been taken.
But Zhang Zuolin should have this ability. He didn't have much contact with Zhang Zuolin before, but Zhang Zuolin's rise in recent years has been obvious. He has long wanted to find an opportunity to connect with each other, and now, this is just an opportunity. I am politically connected to Fengtian through economic ties. Will it be easy to talk politically when we meet in the future?
He took the initiative to send someone to invite Zhang Hanqing to the Liang family and met with a series of his economic team. At the same time, he finalized plans for future investment in Fengtian. Of course, Zhang Hanqing must have revealed the news "in advance" that Zhou Xuexi and Xiong Xiling were going to take shares.
The reason why it is said to be in advance is that before this, Zhang Hanqing only touched Xiong Xiling, and Zhou Xuexi's matter was not mentioned at all. But this did not prevent him from hitting the target with time difference: using Xiong Xiling's reputation to give Liang Shiyi confidence, using Liang Shiyi's status effect to give Zhou Xuexi confidence, and then using Zhou Xuexi's goodwill to strengthen the confidence of Xiong and Liang. The three of them nested inside each other - they were all trapped.
Lao Xiong didn't have much money and was a weak-willed person. Zhang Hanqing relied on using his political reputation to attract sponsorship and advertising; Liang Shiyi's political reputation was of course worse than Xiong Xiling's, but he couldn't resist being rich at the same time. This can make up for the shortcomings. The joining of these two people made Zhou Xuexi feel that with Optimus Prime on his side, he could withstand the danger of Zhang Zuolin's local snake going wrong.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing is really confident when he dares to meet Zhou Xuexi
Generously representing Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Hanqing brilliantly encouraged the three bosses to take a keen interest in Fengtian Coal and Iron Industry and began to send people for on-site survey and planning. When negotiating the share capital, Zhang Hanqing also generously allowed the Fengtian Provincial Government to obtain 30% of the shares on the basis of land, investment in surrounding facilities and human resources. Of course, this money will be transferred to the provincial finance. On the surface, Zhang Hanqing will not let anyone question Zhang Zuolin.
In addition to half of the capital, Zhou Xuexi will also provide managers and technicians; Liang Shiyi will ensure the transportation and sales of coal in addition to investment. They will all do professional things in professional fields, which is a necessary prerequisite for the success of partners.
Zhang Zuolin, who was sitting in Fengtian, did not expect that such a good thing as a pie in the sky would really fall on his head. When Zhang Hanqing Power Generation asked him to arrange manpower and prepare for factory and mine exploration work in advance, he was still doubtful - which one of Zhou Xuexi, Xiong Xiling, and Liang Shiyi is not famous in China for his promises? Now they all want to come to Fengtian to invest and build a mine. They can get 30% profit out of thin air without having to pay for it at all. Where can I find such good things?
But not long after, the industrial teams sent by Zhou Xuexi came to Fengtian one after another. During the same period, there was also a money order of 200,000 yuan as the preliminary inspection fee. Only after looking at the money order that amounted to nothing, Zhang Zuolin believed that this was true. While being curious about his eldest son, of course he had to pretend to be real and make the money really take root in Fengtian. Zhang Hanqing also said that this is just asking for advice. If it is done properly and businessmen are confident, there will naturally be a steady stream of investment in the future. This is also an opportunity for the future industrial development of Fengtian.
Zhang Zuolin would not do the stupid thing of killing the goose and taking the eggs. He still understands the principle that a steady flow of water should last forever, and reputation is the capital. As a man with a beard, he has a much stronger respect for "faithfulness and righteousness" than Zhang Hanqing, who drinks a lot of ink. In the past, Zhang Hanqing and himself discussed using methods of attracting investment to gradually increase Fengtian's industrial strength, so as to point out areas and radiate far and near to the northeast. After the time travel, Zhang Hanqing had been promoting the benefits of unification outside the customs in Zhang Zuolin's ears, which made him Zhang Zuolin was determined to realize this vision. Although there is no glimmer of hope yet, Zhang Hanqing is confident that it won't be long before his father and his son have the chance to realize their ideals - history has proven it! It will be fine even if you lie down and do it.
Zhang Hanqing now remembers the idea of ??establishing an "investment promotion bureau" that he discussed with himself before leaving. Good guy, this son who drank foreign ink is really capable! Although I don’t know what it means, my son has spoken it first, and the result has verified his idea, so I have to do this alone.What's more, investors come here for the "China Merchants Bureau" sign. No matter what, this sign must be erected.
With the cautious intention of firing the first shot, Zhang Zuolin arranged for Yang Yuting, his first adviser and the general counselor of the General Office, to be in charge of the establishment of this "investment promotion bureau" and the handling of mineral processing and mining matters.
This general counselor is not the chief of general staff in the general sense, but the role of political and military general assistant who combines the power of the later generations of the Secretary-General of the Military Commission and the Director of the General Office of the Central Committee. The great wisdom and trust of the chief officer cannot be done. Historically, Yang Yuting was able to sit in this position for more than ten years before and after the establishment of the Fengtian Department. No matter how many part-time jobs he had, he never took off this position, which shows that his ability is average. He also played an important role in Zhang Zuolin's development of the Northeast economy. At the same time, he was also the well-deserved leader of the Shenyang Arsenal. He ran it prosperously and was first-class in the country, which shows his management ability. Zhang Zuolin asked him to take charge of Fengtian's industrial development. First, there was really no one at present, and second, he was using the right person.
The construction of iron mines and coal mines will naturally touch the nerves of the "good neighbors" Japanese. The Japanese have huge economic interests in southern Manchuria, and they also occupy many mining industries "free of charge". Fengtian presides over the investment in these two mines, so it is natural that he will have entanglements with them. Under the disadvantage of running a division in a miserable state, Zhang Zuolin naturally did not dare to confront them head-on, so at the beginning of the mineral processing, he used various relationships to make it clear to the Japanese: I, Lao Zhang, are purely trying to make money. Production will never compete with the Japanese. Wherever the Japanese dump, these two mines will not get involved, whether domestic or foreign.
It is said that Zhang Zuolin still has some "good friends" in the Japanese military circles. The Japanese also want to support him as a puppet to control Fengtian and even the Northeast. Therefore, they have a certain degree of "understanding" of his actions and only delineated some areas to avoid "accidental injury". In any case, the construction of these two mines is quite orderly. If it were someone else, they might not be able to drive next to the Japanese. Zhang Hanqing had some understanding of the situation in Fengtian, and he made the right move.
The initial investment went smoothly, which naturally stimulated the confidence of investors. In the early days of the Republic of China, far-sighted Chinese businessmen had some ideas about the Japanese mining in Northeast China. The richness of natural resources in the Northeast is far from comparable to that in the customs. However, considering the unfamiliarity of the place and the fear of competing with the Japanese, the natural resources have been held back. Therefore, just because the Northeast is a large land, it has accommodated countless people who fled to reclaim the wasteland, but no industrialists have ever entered, except for officials.
Now, with this gap and Zhang Zuolin as the dominant figure, major businessmen and industrialists have joined forces to join the company by raising funds and dividing shares. With Liang Shiyi, a celebrity from the central government, and Xiong Xiling, the former prime minister, as his backers, and business tycoon Zhou Xuexi personally setting an example, it is both safe and profitable, so it would be strange if they didn't flock here.
Capital is all about chasing fish, and capital also has an accumulation effect. If someone takes the lead, there will naturally be countless followers. Anyway, Fengtian's economy is underdeveloped, and there are opportunities everywhere for investors. Didn’t you build an iron mine and smelt iron? I opened a steel forging plant and a steel rolling mill. Didn’t you build a coal mine? Good opportunity, I will build a thermal power plant. Not enough machines? I run a machine manufacturing factory. Bad luck with something? I run a transportation company
Zhang Zuolin also kept in mind Zhang Hanqing’s advice: Never use power to suppress the enthusiasm of businessmen for immediate interests. The Fengtian government must change its functions, not to “manage” the industry, but to guide or simply “serve” them. Lao Zhang may not understand the meaning of the word service, but Zhang Hanqing put it bluntly: treat them as masters.
Yes, Lord, God of Wealth.
According to statistics, maintaining a modern army division requires at least 30,000 tons of steel production capacity per year. In the history of the Republic of China, until 1949, China's annual steel output did not exceed 30,000 tons at its peak. "Millet plus rifle" is a reflection of the helplessness of that era, and cannot just be a matter of pride.
Expanding reproduction is the simplest instinct of all capital, and once the market opens up and profits are sufficient, other capitals will compete to get involved in this industry until production is saturated and its average profit is the same as other industries. This is Marxist political economy. A lesson learned. But for Zhang Hanqing, the production of coal and iron is not only not saturated at the current stage, but will definitely be in short supply for a long time. This is because China is too big and too weak, and China is still a long way from being an industrial society. At this stage, China's coal and iron output lags far behind demand. Decades of development debts need to be repaid. Industrialized production still has a long way to go in the future. Not to mention net domestic consumption, this industry will require at least several more investments in the future. ten years.
Hidden benefits such as boosting consumption brought by manpower employment are not yet apparent. Taxes are temporarily exempted in the first half of the year - this was negotiated with Zhang Zuolin by Zhang Hanqing before establishing the "Investment Promotion Bureau" in order to attract invest. Factories and mines cannot run away without fear of being unprofitable in the future, and sooner or later they will become Fengtian's cash cow.

Chapter 103 Heart to Heart
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Father and son are connected. How dare Tan Hai and the others conceal such a serious matter that Zhang Hanqing suffered a gunshot wound in Beijing? Zhang Zuolin was shocked when he heard the news.
“My eldest son went into danger for the sake of the great owner of the Zhang family, and also did a lot of work as his spy at the feet of the emperor. The situation is becoming clearer and clearer. It is a good time to pick fruits. I don’t want this to happen! It is important to gain promotions and seize territory, but his son's life is more important. On this matter, Lao Zhang is still very emotional.
Should we take this opportunity to take our son to Fengtian to "recuperate"? It is expected that Lao Yuan cannot refuse, and the sad soldiers will win. It was not that Zhang Zuolin had never considered this idea, but before making a decision, he wanted to seek Zhang Hanqing's opinion. So the next day, he proposed to the Beijing government that he wanted to enter the customs for private reasons.
To Zhang Zuolin’s urgent request to come to Beijing to visit his son, Yuan Shikai readily agreed. It is human nature, and Zhang Zuolin, who is flesh and blood and has family ties, is a truly good man! In order to show his guilt, he gave Zhang Zuolin extraordinary treatment: he was allowed to enter the capital with a battalion of guards. This made Zhang Zuolin very nervous after hearing the news, and thought Zhang Hanqing's injury was very serious!
After he took the train directly to Beijing Railway Station, he said to Wang Yitang of Yuan Shikai's cabinet who greeted him: "Brother Tang, please welcome me personally, but today Zuolin has to go private first before business. Zuolin heard in Fengtian that his child had been shot, and he couldn't eat or sleep. , I can’t let go. Although Xueliang has improved a lot with the special care and attention of the President and Emperor, but poor parents in the world, I can’t rest assured if I don’t take a look at him first.”
After all, Yuan Shikai, the emperor, had a reputation that was inconsistent with his words, and his direction was erratic. He gradually lost his passion for being called "Your Majesty." Some cronies who were not in favor of the imperial system often called him "President". Therefore, although Zhang Zuolin, a rough man outside the Guan Dynasty, called him "the President-Emperor", it was a bit nondescript, but at that time, no one would take it seriously.
Wang Yitang has just been transferred from the post of Inspector-General of Jilin. It is said that he will succeed Zhu Qiqian as the Chief of Internal Affairs. He was also a close confidant of Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai asked him to greet Zhang Zuolin, which not only showed his favor but also showed his closeness. Of course, everyone knows everything about Zhang Hanqing being shot. Zhang Zuolin said very touchingly. It is human nature for a father to check on his son's injury in name only. Due to circumstances and reasons, he could not stop him, so he had to go along with the situation and said: "Of course. Han Qing's nephew was injured, and Wang was also injured. I haven’t visited in a while, so let’s take this opportunity to go and have a look.”
The group of people came to the residence near Tsinghua University where Zhang Hanqing was staying. When he saw Zhang Hanqing leisurely lying on the bed reading a book, and a girl with an excellent figure and face beside him was blushing and feeding peeled oranges into his mouth, Lao Zhang could hardly believe his eyes: it was like being shot. Looks hurt? Are you really enjoying yourself? Also, it’s just an orange, there’s no need for such a big fight, is there a story just now?
Zhang Hanqing was really unprepared for Zhang Zuolin's sudden arrival, especially with Wang Yitang from the government following him. If I had known that I had to restrain myself, I would have at least lied on the bed with the bandage hanging high. Recuperating from an injury should look like recuperating from an injury. It was a mistake. He should have calculated that his father might come. He shouldn't have touched Hong Mudan when she was feeding her oranges. He almost went off the rails and couldn't even cover it up.
Men are tacit about men's affairs. Zhang Zuolin also heard that Naiko made a scandal in Beijing because of a prostitute. It seems that this pretty good-looking woman is the one responsible, right? I knew that Zhang Hanqing was trying to desecrate himself, but how could I know that this guy wasn't taking advantage of the opportunity to do it for real? I was originally worried about how his wound was, but seeing the proud look on his face, was there any need to ask?
After Hong Peony walked away with a blushing face, Zhang Hanqing remembered something - the father and son had not seen each other for half a year, so they should look excited, right?
In front of Wang Yitang, Zhang Zuolin naturally asked the injured person first: "Where was the shot? How is the injury? Don't lie down all the time - moving often is good for wound healing." He thought for a while , looked at Red Peony's back thoughtfully and said: "Although it is good to move, don't use too much force, as it will not be good for the wound healing."
Zhang Hanqing nearly spat the orange on the ground with a mouthful of orange. Dad’s words were too strong. They seemed to have profound meaning!
Wang Yitang came for a "visit", so naturally he wanted to greet Zhang Zuolin. He followed Zhang Zuolin's words: "How is Hanqing's injury? Do you want me to find a Western doctor for a follow-up checkup?" He was really concerned about Zhang Hanqing's wounds. By asking the president, you can establish a good impression of diligence.
But this "wound" is really not worth mentioning. It has become scarred over the past few days. But externally, Zhang Hanqing still claimed that "fortunately he didn't hit any bones" - he really didn't hit any bones, and he wasn't lying! As for the wounds, they were treated from beginning to end by the military guards who were familiar with bandaging.If outsiders knew about it, how could the play be performed?
Seeing Wang Yitang's sincere look, Zhang Hanqing could only tell him frankly: "Thank you Uncle Shi for your concern, my injury is not serious. After this incident, the president was also very concerned about my injury and sent doctors to seek medical advice every day. It's all healed now. You see, it's almost healed now, and I can use my strength!" In order to show that he was really healed, he waved his arms to show the other person like a child.
Wang Yitang quickly supported him: "Okay, okay, it's okay to listen to your father and move a little, but don't use too much force. After all, it will hurt your muscles and bones for a hundred days."
“Ahem, why is it so difficult for an honest person to tell the truth? I tell you it’s okay!
Since he has decided to maximize the effectiveness of the "gunshot wound", Zhang Hanqing cannot help but perform this drama well. He lay back on the bed obediently, continuing to play the role of the wounded man. Looking at Zhang Hanqing who looked resolute and calm, Zhang Zuolin patted him on the shoulder and showed his fatherly style: "My son is still used to it in Beijing, right?"
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "It's okay. Not only is my body stronger, but my figure has also grown a lot." This is true. I am a half-grown man who lives in poverty. The age of fifteen or sixteen is a good time for boys to develop. Within this six months, Zhang Hanqing was in a good mood while traveling around the mountains and rivers, his complexion was well maintained, and he was half a head taller.
"However," Zhang Hanqing said hesitantly in front of Wang Yitang, "Father, my child has found a good girl in Beijing, and he wanted to tell his father." He glanced at Wang Yitang: "I should have reported this to my father a long time ago. , something happened later, and I didn’t have time to say it"
Seeing that father and son wanted to talk privately, Wang Yitang left wisely. Now, father and son had a chance to really talk to each other.
"Is the wound okay? Let me take a look."
Knowing that there was something wrong with Zhang Hanqing’s wound, Zhang Zuolin couldn’t bear to speak out until now. This is what a normal father would do. Touching Zhang Hanqing's "small" wound that had actually completely healed, Zhang Zuolin cursed in his heart, "Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, don't you, just this little skin injury, how can it be wrapped so thickly, layer after layer?" Isn't this too exaggerated? Fortunately, it's cold, otherwise I wouldn't have prickly heat!
However, he still condemned the protagonist of the shooting to the best of his ability. It's good to be fine. Bullets have no eyes. If something goes wrong, how can I be worthy of my wife who is under the spell of despair? Such a smart and good son, I still have to train him as his successor.
"Do you know who did it?" Zhang Zuolin pointed to Zhang Hanqing's wound, his leaping thinking revealed his strong character. In fact, he already knew the cause and effect of Zhang Hanqing's gunshot wound very clearly, and he kept praising his eldest son's intelligence and luck in his heart. However, the seriousness of the injury is not a problem. The problem is that someone has done something wrong. With Lao Zhang's jealous temper, he is not willing to suffer such a boring loss.
"The Kuomintang people are the most likely. Although I deliberately caused some things in Beijing, I will not make enemies, especially such life-and-death enemies. There is only one possibility. Someone is very dissatisfied with my father's political stance."
Zhang Zuolin nodded in agreement. He asked with some worry: "In this case, I simply suggest to the president that you be sent back to Fengtian to recuperate! The situation is changing too fast now, and I'm worried that they will not die!"
Zhang Hanqing shook his head: "I almost lost my life. I saw the light right away. Why did I give up so easily? I judged that if the president took another step forward, the world would be in chaos. Then my father would be useful. I am actually the leader in Beijing. The president's reassurance to his father depends on him whether he can take advantage of the opportunity. With Tan Hai and Gao Jiyi, I am safe here. Besides, I will not go out again during this period of time to "recuperate". When necessary, I He will leave Beijing by ear, so father doesn’t have to worry about that.”
“ Later, he asked about the situation of Han Linchun and others, and actively recommended them, asking Zhang Zuolin to reuse them. In addition, the circumstances surrounding Cai E's departure, as well as the military preparations for Cai E, Feng Guozhang and others' plan to jointly fight against Yuan are also discussed. He believed that Yuan Shikai had controlled Beiyang for so many years and was very powerful. Even if Cai E raised troops, it would be difficult to pose a major threat to him for a while. At this time, Zhang Zuolin should stay outside the pass and not interfere in the internal affairs of the pass. When everyone is exhausted from fighting, Lao Yuan will definitely ask Zhang Zuolin to enter the customs, and then wait for an opportunity to get some benefits. As for fighting, we must not interfere with it under any circumstances.
“These are things he has personally experienced, and some are from historical books, but they are inseparable and basically consistent with Zhang Zuolin’s judgment. The father and son had the same thought: following Lao Yuan, they would definitely suffer losses in the future. But now, Lao Yuan still has some uses. Through the shooting incident, Zhang Hanqing's safety is guaranteed at least for a period of time, and Zhang Zuolin can also take the opportunity to ask for something from Lao Yuan - his 27th Division is after all a powerful force in the Beiyang Department, and with such a good relationship, he himself He almost had a son. Whether it was money or equipment, wouldn't it be Zhang Zuolin's style not to ask for benefits from Lao Yuan?
Then switching from state affairs to family affairs, Zhang Zuolin used his experience and said to Zhang Hanqing: "Young man, it's okay for men and women to have a show, but if you go too far, it will ruin the show! That woman named Red Peony cannot enter my old Zhang." My family, you are a well-educated person, if you sleep with a prostitute before getting married, which famous family will marry your daughter to you?"

Chapter 153 Assassination

Zhang Hanqing and his friends were shocked.
It’s too late to say it, but it’ll be soon. Zhang Zuolin, who had already noticed it, quickly jumped off the carriage and jumped on the horse's back. He spent his whole life in the army, and even after becoming a general, he still kept his beard. He spent part of his time exercising every day, so he showed off his physical fitness at critical moments. Still like this, the air wave flipped off his dog-skin hat and injured a guard beside the car.
The moment the bomb detonated, Zhang Hanqing had already woken up from the initial shock. It was also a method cultivated in the Fengtian Martial Arts Hall. Zhang Hanqing reacted quickly and drew out his gun.
By this time the guards were in chaos. Also, peace has been established for a long time. This kind of assassination specifically targeting the commander has never happened before. But they were also amazing, and they almost drew their short guns at the same time as the explosion - Zhang Zuolin's cavalry all used carbines, all made in Germany. Their characteristic is that they can fire guns quickly, which is good for close combat. After all, as guards, they are not facing cannons. , but almost close.
The driver missed the target and immediately grabbed the package again. This was a previously formulated tactic. No matter whether the first hit was a hit or not, the second hit would be sent out: if the first hit was missed, this hit would be a remedy; if the first hit was hit, this hit would be a cover for escape. So in the flash of lightning, the second bomb was held in his hand.
Although Zhang Hanqing is full of knowledge, this kind of real combat scene has never been seen in the past and future generations. But fortunately, he had the "experience" of being shot - of course Zhang Hanqing would rather not have such an experience - meeting on a narrow road requires courage. At the moment when the driver detonated, he was already at the front, so whether he could successfully snipe the driver's backhand was crucial.
Zhang Hanqing showed his poise and calmness befitting his age, pulling the gun, pushing the trigger, aiming, and firing. With the sound of a gunshot, the coachman fell to the ground.
This was Zhang Hanqing’s first time to kill someone, and it was also the last time he killed someone face to face, with a distance of less than three meters. This shot directly hit the artery in the driver's neck, causing blood to pour out. Zhang Hanqing, who was slapping the horse forward, could not stop the horse's hoofs. The two faced each other, and the column of blood sprayed straight in front of his face. It was hot, fishy, ??and made him feel sick.
Zhang Hanqing was instantly petrified: "I killed someone, I killed someone, this is not a movie!" He reined in the horse's head with difficulty, turned his head sideways, and stared at the coachman behind him who was still moving cowardly on the ground.
Zhang Zuolin and others saw the expression of fear, numbness and astonishment on the young marshal's immature face. The bloody face gave people a ferocious look, showing a maturity that was not commensurate with his age. This scene was deeply imprinted in Zhang Zuolin's mind, making him always remember that it was this eldest son who braved the bloody bullets to save his life. From then on, this handsome man with a beard firmly believed in the saying "Father and son go into battle". The subsequent series of decentralizations are also related to this.
The reason why we can delegate power is that Xiao Liuzi killed someone and grew into a real man.
At this moment, Mr. Qian who was selling buns, Mr. Wang who was reading the newspaper, Mr. He who was buying vegetables, and Huang Juren who was walking the dog all roared together. Mr. Qian came out of the steamer, Uncle Wang came out from behind the newspaper, and Mr. He came out from behind the newspaper. The third master took out the pistol from the food basket and Huang Juren took out the pistol from under his robe.
What happened to the neighbors? What happened to these ordinary people who usually make money, do good things, are as timid as a mouse, and always smile?
The guards who also woke up from the shock faithfully performed their duties. I don’t know who said: "Protect the commander-in-chief!" Several guards rushed forward and protected Zhang Zuolin with their bodies.
The guns rang out like bean paste, and the warring parties on the ground and on the ground fell to the ground one after another. In just a moment, three of Zhang Zuolin's guards died on the spot. Although the assassins began to suffer casualties, they seemed not to be afraid of death, and those who could move still fought to the death. At the critical moment, Gao Jiyi galloped over with several cavalry and suppressed the opponent with a burst of gunfire. Fortunately, there were many guards, and after a fierce battle, the assailants were finally killed.
The crowds of people on the street dispersed like birds and beasts, and the people began to become confused, which made the situation very dangerous. With lessons learned from the past, no one can guarantee whether there are any remaining assassins among them. The only safe way is to leave the place of right and wrong.
Gao Jiyi didn't have time to elaborate, so he took off his clothes and stuffed them into Zhang Zuolin: "Commander, change your clothes to me."
Zhang Zuolin is also a bloody man, and he is not rigid. He exchanged shirts with him at an extremely fast speed and said: "There will be consequences for surviving a catastrophe."
Gao Jiyi raised his whip and shouted: "You, you, you, come with me, let's divert the enemy!" As he walked, he said to Zhang Zuolin: "Commander, there is an ambush on the way to the 27th Division. Quickly take a detour to the general's mansion! "
The two groups of people separated, and Zhang Hanqing had no time to wipe off the blood on his face - yes, blood and sweat - during the fierce battle just now, he would not be a normal person if he did not break out in a cold sweat - he met him for the first time Changes, ?Rush forward vigorously.
The dark crowd of horses in front are rushing at a rapid pace, overwhelming others. The momentum of thousands of galloping horses cannot be understood from the description on paper. Although everyone is not afraid of death, they are still a little uneasy when the enemy is obviously strong and we are weak. Even Zhang Zuolin's brain buzzed and thought: "I, Zhang Zuolin, have been brave for half my life. Did I walk on the Huarong Road here today?" Zhang Hanqing leaned nervously on the horse. , what I was thinking in my mind for a moment was: "If I am beaten to death, will I become the first person to travel through modern times again?"
It’s close, it’s close, Zhang Hanqing’s palms holding the horse’s reins are sweaty.
There was an undulating "clatter" sound from the cavalry in front. Zhang Hanqing, who had received military education, knew that this was the action of loading a bullet. During the interval, someone shouted: "Who is in front of you?" The voice was very familiar.
It’s Guo Songling! It's safe now! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 157 Mobilization
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
After a resolution, Zhang Zuoxiang was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Bandit Suppression Army (Zhang Zuolin still did not dare to trust the leader, so he deliberately let his battle-hardened allies take charge), and Zhang Hanqing was appointed as the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Bandit Suppression Army, with unified command of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Guard Brigades. and teaching team. Appoint Han Linchun, commander of the 2nd Regiment of the Guard Brigade and commander-in-chief of the former enemy (Zhang Zuolin: I will send you to death, but my son will take the credit first).
On July 3, almost the entire Guard Brigade was dispatched. In the remaining defense area, Zhang Zuolin taught Sun Liechen to arrange for the 27th Division to be garrisoned, and to rearrange the 27th Division's guard battalion as Zhang Zuolin's guard. Because Zhang Hanqing had planned that the Guard Brigade would not return to defend after this battle, this decision was very popular with Zhang Zuolin. This ambitious Fengtian strongman's ambition to unify Northeast China came from the bottom of his heart. The Guard Brigade had the opportunity to infiltrate sand in the two provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang openly, and Lao Zhang certainly couldn't ask for it.
Originally, Zhang Hanqing wanted to keep the brigade's guard company as the guard of the general's palace. Zhang Zuolin refused to agree to anything, and wanted to transfer a unit from the 27th Division into an organic structure and hand it over to Zhang Hanqing to expand his guard company into a guard battalion. Zhang Hanqing Of course I won't agree. But in the end, Zhang Zuolin insisted on allocating a machine gun company to Zhang Hanqing. Considering the suppressive effect of machine guns on cavalry and the fact that the opponent's cavalry had more cavalry, Zhang Hanqing smiled and accepted it.
Sure enough, it was father and son who went into battle. This delicate arrangement of father and son being filial, and father and son connecting heart to heart allowed the father and son to withstand the test on various subsequent occasions. Zhang Hanqing also had the opportunity to take charge of the Feng army and was never tabooed. , this is a later story.
For this bandit suppression, Zhang Hanqing, Guo Songling, Han Linchun and Wang Yizhe made full pre-war preparations and operational plans. Han Linchun took the Second Regiment of the Guard Brigade as the main force, and the entire regiment took a train to go north, passing through Tieling, Siping, Changchun, and Harbin, and then transferred to the North Manchuria Railway to Qiqihar. He wanted to control the retreat of "King Qin's Restoration Army" with lightning speed. , suppressed southward along the Taoer River. Since most of these enemies are in the form of cavalry, Han Linchun's troops need to firmly hold the Taoer River and the upper and middle reaches of Taonan's main rivers, the Najin River and the Jiaoliu River. Because this line of defense is hundreds of kilometers wide, it will be a tough sniper battle, which is one of the reasons why Han Linchun is the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. Taking into account the convenience of transportation, the Guards Brigade Artillery Battery will accompany him.
The remaining troops of the Guard Brigade will walk through Tongliao to the Huolin River in Horqin Right Center Banner, and then be divided into two: the first regiment will be led by Zhang Hanqing personally as the main force on the southern front, together with the teaching regiment, Guard company, machine gun company and communications company In one part, defenses were deployed along the Huolin River from west to east to create momentum, attracting the enemy to move south, leaving time for Han Linchun to deploy the northern defense line.
And Guo Songling led the third regiment and the cavalry company as the main offensive force, attacking eastwards via Tuquan. Because the enemy is expected to be flanked by two rivers in the north and south in a long and flat area, this unit is expected to be the main force of the offensive, covering up from west to east - to the west is the vast Mongolian prairie. Once the enemy escapes from the trap, it must be annihilated. After all, it is as difficult as a dragon entering the sea. However, due to the obstruction of the two rivers, Guo Songling's troops will have concentrated strength on the front. It should not be easy to escape from this road.
Zhang Hanqing in the south is expected to be better off. Because even if they break through Zhang Hanqing's troops and the rebels enter the hinterland of Fengjun, their scope of activities will be greatly reduced. At that point, they will have to go through the two lines of defense of Zhang Hanqing and Han Linchun to escape. The rebels are not stupid. As for this troop, did they really flee from Zhang Zuolin's defense area to Guandong Prefecture and wait for an opportunity to join forces with the "Restoration Army" in the south? It’s a joke. I really think that Marshal Zhang is just a decoration, and his slogans are just about the same.
In this way, the "Qinwang Restoration Army" will be under pressure from the north, west and south. With their current strength, barring no accidents, they will not be able to create an overwhelming advantage in any direction. There are only two ways to escape - to the north and to the east.
To the north, Han Linchun is bound to be under strong pressure - everyone has about the same strength, so a major defeat is unlikely. However, Han must defend the long river bank. When the enemy's retreat route is uncertain, the local area will be under pressure from all the rebels.
As for the east, it is the territory of Jilin Meng Enzhu. Because Lao Meng was determined to sit back and watch the tiger fight, Zhang Hanqing and Zhang Zuoxiang also decided at the last moment to divert the disaster eastward. Don't you want to join the war? The rebels are passing through your territory and causing harm to your place. Do you want to see if you take action? Zhang Zuolin even thought about the strategy of the Guard Brigade taking the opportunity to enter the hinterland of Jilin to "suppress the bandits" if the Jilin army failed to suppress the rebels.
Facing the tens of thousands of soldiers who were about to go off to war, Zhang Hanqing launched an eloquent pre-war general mobilization:
"Brothers, you all know that I said that what I want to form is a new army that is knowledgeable, organized, civilized and disciplined, which is different from other illiterate armies, gangster armies and anarchist armies. . In the past few months, many people have ridiculed our army, some have not understood it, and some have laughed at it. Just yesterday, it was decided to let us??When this unit was used as the main force to suppress bandits, many people still thought that we were a group of student soldiers and scholars. Ask me how many people will come back alive after this war.
Indeed, our shortcomings are obvious: none of our soldiers have war experience, and only a small number of mid-level officers have war experience; we have only participated in a short training, and the quality of our individual soldiers is not high. The running-in of the troops is not good enough, the familiarity between officers and soldiers is still very poor, and our communication system, command system, and logistics system have not withstood the test of the war.
But we have a huge advantage that others don’t have: spirit. As Commander Wang Yizhe has always taught us, what matters to us is that we are united as officers and soldiers; what matters to us is discipline and the enforcement of orders and prohibitions; what matters to us is bravery and a disregard for death.
It is true that we are a new type of team, but our spirit, energy and spirit are the best among the existing troops in China. What we want to eliminate is a group of bandits. Their equipment is not as good as ours, their numbers are smaller than ours, their training is nonsense, and they don't even have enough to eat. If such a group of rabble can be called opponents, that is our shame. The combat strategy formulated by our brigade staff is not to defeat him, but to completely eliminate him.
This war is a good opportunity for us to wash away ridicule and build our reputation. It is also a testing ground to test our training results. On the battlefield, only iron and blood have the right to speak. Only iron and blood can keep opponents in check.
Despite this, I also ask the commanders of the participating units to prepare for every day's battle with a cautious attitude, fight every battle well, and bring our brothers back alive as much as possible. They are not just a soldier, they are the seeds for our future expansion of the force.
Of course, many of the enemies are habitual bandits who have experienced hundreds of battles, and there are also some so-called warriors who are not afraid of death. Their combat effectiveness may be very strong in the early stages, but it doesn't matter. Because our army is not afraid of death and is brave enough! On the battlefield, only the strong can survive, because the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road! Facing such an enemy, show off your sabers and spears to boost our morale. Brothers, do you have faith? ! "
Tens of thousands of people roared loudly: "Yes!"
Zhang Hanqing made a fist with his right hand and shouted: "We must win!"
Tens of thousands of people followed and shouted: "We must win! We must win!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 158 Humiliation and Self-improvement
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
There were some problems during Han Linchun's journey north. The reason was the "Portsmouth Agreement" signed after the Russo-Japanese War. In this agreement, Japan and Russia agreed to carve up their sphere of influence in Northeast China, with Russia controlling the North Manchuria Railway and Japan controlling the South Manchuria Railway. The two sides also agreed not to allow third parties to use these two railways to carry out actions that threaten the military affairs of Japan and Russia.
The Japanese Manchuria Railway Company and the famous "Manchurian Railway" garrison refused the Feng army to use this railway for suppressing bandits - a joke, it was the Japanese who provoked the banditry, and they can also provide you with transportation Easily put troops into battle?
Zhang Zuolin was very angry. The Japanese first played tricks on his ancestors, and now they directly interfered with his control of the situation, which made him more angry than before. He told the Japanese Consul General in Fengtian, Shigeru Yoshida, face to face: "The suppression of bandits is Northeast China's own affairs and is not aimed at a third country, unless Japan believes that the rebel bandits are related to Japan."
Yoshida Shigeru: "This army in Taonan certainly has nothing to do with Japan."
Zhang Zuolin was furious: "You are shouting to be friendly with me, and at the same time you are instructing bandit troops to disrupt my civil affairs. If you are not satisfied with me, Lao Zhang, I will stop playing, and you can go find whoever you like."
Regarding Lao Zhang’s anger, Shigeru Yoshida certainly did not dare to admit it, but he said: “The opinion of the Governor of Kwantung was that he could not determine whether the general’s troops were offensive to the Kwantung Army, so he refused to allow your army to pass the Treaty of Portsmouth. The spirit cannot be violated.”
What the hell is the spirit of the treaty? Little Japan still knows how to respect treaties? He just uses this as an excuse to force you to go around in circles in order to support his lackeys. Without modern transportation, suppressing bandits in the vast land of Northeast China would be a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Everyone knows this truth. However, the arrogance of the Japanese left Lao Zhang helpless.
Zhang Hanqing is also very angry. This is the first time since time travel that he has faced the toughness and tyranny of the Japanese. However, the situation is stronger than the people. They use force as a strong backing. What can you do if you are not convinced? However, he still very politely proposed an idea that was almost deceptive. This was the tip given to him by Shigeru Yoshida: "Mr. Shigeru Yoshida, since you think that our anti-bandit troops cannot pass through armed, Xueliang has a suggestion, we can Let the officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade be loaded onto the vehicle, and the weapons and equipment can be stored centrally in another compartment, or they can be guarded by Japanese road guards. I wonder if this can be flexible?"
Yoshida Shigeru did not want to undermine the Japanese government's instructions to support Zhang Zuolin. Seeing Zhang Hanqing's concession to Japan, they both took a step back, nodded and said: "I will negotiate with the Governor of Kanto for the Young Marshal's opinion and give a reply as soon as possible."
Waiting in anxiety and worry for a whole day. It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Yoshida Shigeru replied: "In line with the friendly attitude of both parties, the Japanese Governor of Kantō basically agreed with the proposal put forward by the young marshal. For this operation, the Governor of Kantō specially instructed the Manchurian Railway garrison to transport your soldiers and equipment Each carriage will be armed and guarded by our soldiers. Of course, your army can also arrange personnel to guard the carriages where equipment is stored."
I thought the negotiations had come to an end, but when Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Hanqing and his entourage came to Fengtian Station to see off Han Linchun's troops the next day, they almost exploded with anger.
Han Linchun’s troops planned to use a total of two trains. Watching the neatly arranged Guards Brigade soldiers put down their guns one by one, and were "escorted" by the Japanese soldiers to enter their respective carriages. Although each battalion and company showed good combat literacy in an orderly manner, with Zhang Hanqing, Guo Songling, and Wang Yizhe It was still full of humiliation for the guard brigade led by the leader to bid farewell to senior officials and Han Linchun.
Yes, humiliation! This group of soldiers who had received conscious anti-Japanese education put down their guns in front of the sworn enemy and were guarded by armed opponents like prisoners of war. This is a great shame for the officers and soldiers of the Guard Brigade who have always received patriotic education! But in order to suppress the bandits and to use their troops quickly, they had to accept this humiliation!
The red faces of the soldiers under humiliation and the proud smiles of the Japanese soldiers made Zhang Hanqing suddenly feel an impulse from the bottom of his heart. Yes, impulsive!
He suddenly approached the carriage where he was boarding and shouted: "Everyone is here, stop boarding immediately and gather urgently!"
Zhang Hanqing's order was quickly implemented, and senior guards brigade officials such as Han Linchun, Guo Songling, and Wang Yizhe also stood at the front of the team. Zhang Hanqing greeted countless officers and soldiers and said excitedly: "Brothers, in order to eliminate the rebel bandits as soon as possible and give people in western Liaoning a stable life, yesterday, as the supreme commander of the front line for the suppression of bandits, I accepted the proposal proposed by the Manchurian Railway Company. The conditions for separation of soldiers and weapons are required to allow you to board the vehicle. Now, I find that I was wrong!
I saw that our dignity was trampled on, and we did it because we wanted to save energy.Lower your noble head! As a soldier, I cannot agree! If I had known that this was the case today, I would not have agreed to this condition!
Now I have decided that our Guards Brigade 2nd Regiment will use two feet to complete our mission. Do you agree? ! "
"Promise!" Countless voices roared, including Han Linchun's shout. Some excited soldiers could not help but shed tears. When had you ever spoken so proudly to the heavily armed Japanese? Only the young marshal can regain his long-lost face in front of the Japanese! Under the leadership of their respective commanders, the officers and soldiers took up their weapons again and slung them on their shoulders. The troops lined up in a single column, without even looking at the steaming iron guy next to them, they walked into the distance and formed a rolling torrent.
Every officer and soldier who passed by Zhang Hanqing silently and solemnly performed a military salute. From their determined eyes, Zhang Hanqing felt that ancient China was awakening! There is hope for China!
He held Han Linchun's hand tightly and said: "Turn humiliation into strength and severely attack those rebels who are working for us! Otherwise, we cannot release our anger! I, Zhang Hanqing, swear that today's shame will be a hundred times a thousand times in the future." Come and repay!”
Han Linchun nodded solemnly, and a thousand words turned into one word: "Yes!" From that moment on, Han Linchun went from being surprised, admiring, appreciating, to following Zhang Hanqing, and he remained lifelong.
That is to say, from this moment on, Guo Songling not only appreciated Zhang Hanqing's knowledge, but also appreciated Zhang Hanqing's perseverance, and then appreciated Zhang Hanqing's character. From this moment on, this old alliance member deeply felt Zhang Hanqing's maintenance of national dignity and love for the country.
It was from this time on that Mr. Shigeru Yoshida, the consul of the Japanese Consulate in Fengtian, came up with the idea of ??studying the young marshal in depth. As he later wrote in "The Yellow Flower of the Empire Withers in the Northeast": "From the beginning, this young man showed an edge and leadership temperament that was unwilling to be subordinated to others. He always used his spirit to inspire officers and soldiers. He had the spirit of not admitting defeat. His deep-seated hatred for Japan invisibly infected the senior officers around him. The empire recognized him too late, and finally caused irreparable losses." (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 159 Retreat
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The Guards Brigade used the Japanese-controlled military columns with such great fanfare and delayed a precious day. There was also the possibility that the Japanese had tipped it off. This made the Babu Zabu rebels basically clear about the movements of the Han Linchun Regiment, which was almost the same. Guess the strategic intentions of the Guards Brigade.
After receiving the news, the Babu bandits immediately changed their direction of travel in order to avoid being surrounded by the bandit suppressing forces. Relying on the superiority of the cavalry, some Pakistani bandits broke through the upper reaches of the Huolin River, which was sometimes dry, in one day, and the whole army marched towards Xilingol. In Babuzabu's view, being surrounded on three sides and forcing him to enter Jilin was not a good idea, and as a Mongolian, he must be at home in Mongolia. So they decided to head west first, trying to obtain the status in Xilingol that the Hulunbuir people "obtained with the help of the Russians" and establish a semi-autonomous place free from the central government.
After his troops forcibly crossed the Huolin River, he quickly intensified his attack on the Mibu defense line and crossed the river overnight.
In the bandit suppression plan of the Guard Brigade headed by Zhang Hanqing, in order to avoid alerting this wave of puppet troops, the western and southern fronts had to wait until Han Linchun's northern front was assembled before taking action, so as not to frighten the puppet troops back to their nests. However, because the southern front was full Disputes over transport issues caused delays on both the western and southern fronts. When the news spread, the front line of the bandit suppression army had not yet reached Tongliao, which was twice as far away from Holingol as the bandit army.
And the bandit suppressing army, which is mainly infantry, cannot keep up with the four-legged horses. As a result, the plan of encircling three and missing one formulated by the staff of the bandit suppressing army may be aborted. Once the bandits break through Kholingol, the vast Mongolian hinterland will be ravaged, and the campaign to suppress the bandits will be protracted.
Zhang Zuolin urgently contacted Jiang Guiti, the governor of Rehe, and asked the Rehe army to stick to the front line of Huolingol and Horqin's right center flag. This old and arrogant man from the Qing Dynasty vowed that Yijun would not only be able to hold on to the defense line, but also become the backbone of the bandit army.
The deputy commander of Yijun, the deputy commander of Rehe, and the garrison of Linxi, Mi Zhenbiao, encountered difficulties after receiving the order: Yijun was its own line in the Beiyang Army, and its origin was Li Hongzhang's Huaijun. But after years of "evolution" by Yijun, in the paradise land of smoke in Rehe, the warriors who had the conditions to get the smoke at low prices gradually degenerated into a two-gun soldier who turned magic into decay. Not only were the equipment extremely poor, but their combat effectiveness had also dropped alarmingly——there was nothing they could do, so all the money was spent on purchasing pipes and fireworks (not arms).
Fortunately, there has been a previous resolution on the joint suppression of the four parties, which set the tone of intercepting the rebels outside Jehol. For this reason, Yijun has made relatively full preparations.
Even so, when the cavalry of the "Qin Wang Restoration Army" all over the mountains and plains attacked, the whole Yi army was still stunned. A thousand people are boundless. Thousands of war horses galloping across the grassland, how majestic the scene is! The sound of horse hooves and the flying sabers made the officers and soldiers on the front line of Yijun tremble. A hole was instantly torn open in the frontal defense line of the two battalions of Yijun.
Yes, like a sickle cutting through butter, hundreds of Yi soldiers melted into the horses after firing only one round, leaving only chaos, wailing, blood and filth, occasionally mixed with a few gunshots.
Under the overwhelming cavalry attack, Yijun seemed vulnerable.
??Also, although the world's military development was already at its first peak in the *** era, the great war in Europe also made the cavalry permanently give up its position as the main force. However, China, which is quite backward militarily, does not have an effective method for cavalry confrontation, except for another cavalry team of comparable size. Scenes of cavalry duels that were common in later movies and televisions only occurred in backward places such as China, and that was until the 1940s. In Europe, the use of large-scale machine guns allowed infantry to easily suppress the firepower of cavalry in World War I.
Mi Zhenbiao, who was guarding the formation, did not expect that his troops would not be able to fight under the attack of a group of rabble! He ordered the anxious Captain He Yan: "Your troops are such bastards! Now you must stand up immediately, or I will remove you from your post!"
He Yan bit the bullet and put his last reserve team into the second line of defense, but this group of hundreds of people was only a drop in the bucket. Babuzabu used the Mongolian tactics of outflanking and flanking the center, taking advantage of the cavalry's large combat radius. However, within a moment, the second line of defense fell again! Mi Zhenbiao took another of his regiments, fought and retreated, and coordinated Yi's army to retreat into Tulie Maodu Town on the bank of the Huolin River.
Tulie Maodu Town is said to be a town, but it is only a few miles around, not as good as a street in the mainland. This small town cannot be found on the Chinese map, with only 300 herdsmen households, but it is destined to go down in history.
Yijun retreated into the town and could finally rely on houses, fences, and firewood stacks for active defense. This gave the rebel cavalry the advantage.? to weaken. Yes, just nerfed. The rebels surrounded the town layer by layer, and the cavalry retreated to create a sprint distance to prepare for a new round of offensive.
Babuzabu was very proud of his victory. While preparing for the attack, he arranged for his rebels to shout: "Brothers of Yijun, we are the Mongolian 'King Qin's Restoration Army', we are the heroes of Mongolian independence and command the Mongolian army. Commander-in-Chief Babu Zabu is unstoppable, and we don’t want to embarrass you. Now if you put down your weapons, the descendants of the Reborn Heaven will not embarrass you, and we, Mongolia, will coexist with you in peace!"
Mi Zhen originally still had the spirit of the old Huai Army in him. Although this spirit had been completely worn out by most of the old Huai Army generals, the bloody battlefield still made it difficult for him to shake off the accumulated blood. Nothing left. He decided to evacuate this small area and go to Holingol City. There was a strong city to defend there, which could last for a while.
However, his other regiment leader Song Jiuling urged: "Commander, the bandit army is strong, it is better for us to stand still and wait for reinforcements. We, less than three thousand brothers, can walk on two legs, let alone run, we can even drag them." We were dragged to death by them. Now hurry up and strengthen the defense line. Relying on the existing geographical advantage, we still have the strength to defend. Moreover, Marshal Zhang's Guard Brigade will arrive soon. When the time comes, we should cooperate internally and externally, and we will definitely win this battle."
Thinking about it, the advantage of the Mongolian cavalry lies in annihilating the enemy's effective strength in mobile warfare. Mi Zhenbiao is not sure whether he can withdraw safely. He thought that his three thousand men with guns would not be so miserable and could not hold out for a few days. A round trip? He looked towards Fengtian and secretly hoped in his heart: Marshal Zhang, Marshal Zhang, your army must come here as soon as possible!
But soon, Deputy Commander Mi was irritated by the vivid scene: the rebels were in full swing and had certain tactics. They relied on their fast horses to launch provocative charges one after another. There are many experienced Hu bandit veterans among them, and they basically all have good horseback skills. They can run and shoot at the same time. They have already changed places after shooting, harassing Yijun's already unstable defense line back and forth. Basically seeing red again and again, Yijun was exhausted and suffered heavy losses. Basically, Yi Jun was pressed and beaten. Under the cold light of the saber, many Yi Jun soldiers holding guns shrank their heads and chanted "Amitabha, don't hit me with the saber!"
However, Deputy Commander Mi is still very happy that he made the most unfortunate decision: stick to it. If he were in the wild, his troops would definitely suffer much higher losses than they did now. Everyone is sticking to this small town. At least we don’t have to worry about being hit by a saber in the back, right?
By holding on until dusk, morale was so low that the rebels were able to cross the narrow streets at a gallop. Babu Zabu even shouted arrogantly: "Take the town, brothers go to the town to sleep at night!"
Yijun’s loose defense line made Mi Zhenbiao very worried. How long can it last? Can he still see the sun tomorrow? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

There is no need to endure it anymore. When a man stabs a woman deeply, he feels the woman's trembling and the resistance that makes the man happy. A majestic man will break through numerous obstacles and allow two strangers to become one organically.
Clearly feeling the woman beneath him tremble for a moment, the man slowed down and asked the woman softly: "Does it hurt?"
The woman suppressed the tears in the corners of her eyes and nodded slightly, but remembered her mother's earnest teaching last night: "The first time for a woman is very painful, just bear it and it will pass." So she shook her head slightly again very strongly.
The man moved again, but this time the amplitude was much smaller and much slower. During the work, he kept kissing the woman and saying: "As much as it hurts you, I will hurt you." The woman was softened, and this tenderness was enough to resist the pain, and gradually it turned from pain to numbness, and from numbness to itching. , from itching to smoothness, the man once again whipped his horse and jumped.
**, gallop. ** is the driving force of galloping; galloping is the source of passion. The bridal chamber is so beautiful that it is not enough for outsiders to appreciate.
When men and women fight, under the same conditions, the woman will lose first. But later on, men will eventually lose. They have been at war for generations to reproduce the human race, and there is never a loser, or rather, they are all winners.
The clouds collect and the rain disperses.
Yu Fengzhi was lying next to Zhang Hanqing, unable to refuse Zhang Hanqing's touch. Maybe both men and women are like this on their wedding night. No matter what, I am his now. Although this man was technically her little brother who was three years younger than her, it was not enough to change the fact that he was her god.
Feeling Zhang Hanqing's breathing with her peripheral vision, she was able to observe her husband most directly and closely. Zhang Hanqing, who calmed down his passion, was actually still a little immature. After all, he was only sixteen years old. Although physically, he already possesses all the potential and abilities of a man, his handsome face accentuates his youth.
“If my feelings for him before marriage were just a sense of closeness arising from a matchmaking, it was only after the transformation from a girl to a woman that I truly developed a sense of belonging. This man was the one she relied on all her life. At this moment, she was full of tenderness towards this man.
"Of course she doesn't know that this man who she loves with all her heart and soul is not a person who is loyal to love at heart, or in other words, he has a natural love interest. The same is true for Zhang Xueliang as the real person, and the same is true for Zhang Hanqing as the substitute. Maybe, not only did he inherit his body, but also his consciousness completely? Or is this just a lame excuse? In fact, Zhang Hanqing is also the same type of person? Only God knows.
"However, Zhang Hanqing can still feel her love in the enthusiasm just now. Zhang Xueliang failed her in his previous life, so he should make some compensation to her in this life. I remember that Zhang Xueliang divorced her because he converted to Christianity and was restricted by the monogamy rule of the doctrine. He must never believe in this religion in this life. Then he doesn't need to divorce, and he can love her well and stay with her. However, the advantage of not believing in Christ is that you can better inherit the influence of Confucian culture - three wives and four concubines are the truth!
Thinking of the beauty and recalling the taste just now, he started to get ready to move again. The woman was taken aback. Although she was very defensive as a new mother, the physical discomfort could not be recovered in just a few moments. Seeing the woman's panicked expression for a moment, Zhang Hanqing considerately changed her big moves to small strokes. Do things in a steady stream, think about plum blossoms three times, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Of course the woman saw this change, and her love grew even more. I don't want my little husband to be hurt, that's just being considerate, why wouldn't the other person be considerate of me as a new wife? Under such circumstances, how could she refuse the extended claw of Lushan? Therefore, Zhang Hanqing enjoys the feeling of holding it with one hand.
He touched Yingying and gave it a squeeze, murmuring: "Don't tie your chest again, it will strangle it."
The woman nodded meekly.
"I will ask someone to buy some bras for you to wear every once in a while. The effect is very good."
The woman suddenly said playfully: "How come you even know about such a thing?"
It was Zhang Hanqing’s turn to be shy: “I’ve read about it in books, but I’ve never actually seen it. You know, some foreign books are very open in their descriptions, and there’s a lot of information that’s not available in China.”
Yu Fengzhi snorted and said, "I'm afraid you got the scriptures from the capital, right?"
It is a woman’s nature to be jealous, and so is gossip. God knows, in just a little while, she already knew everything about Red Peony? This confidentiality work is well done, cough!
Zhang Hanqing knows that the entanglement is unclear at this time, and there is only one way to deal with it. He stopped answering and only responded with enthusiasm. He got on his horse, kissed her face, and remembered something againThe words came from: "Dip some sesame into it, and you will be in harmony with the water. The tender pistils are delicate and fragrant, and the butterflies are picking them up. I pushed it half-heartedly, and I was surprised and loved at the same time. My mouth was full of fragrant cheeks." He wanted to move proudly, but the guy who finally pressed it down again forced it down. When I got interested, how majestic it was!
Being familiar with the road is not the same as being unfamiliar with it before you get it. Moreover, since they are all sincere to each other, this action will be much easier. Faced with this request, the woman really refused this time, fully demonstrating the thoughtfulness of a big sister: "Han Qing, you are still young, don't hurt your body, okay? I am yours anyway, listen to me this time I advise you to wait for another day." She said as loudly as a mosquito, "Tomorrow night is up to you, okay?"
It’s okay not to say it. Zhang Hanqing became even more excited when he heard it, and he sped up his movements. The two had already been honest with each other, and this time they were familiar with each other, which made it even more interesting. Yu Fengzhi was defeated both mentally and physically. Zhang Hanqing only made a strong move and she was defeated. She let him run wild and just murmured: "Hanqing, you are going to die."
Zhang Hanqing took a long breath and said with a low smile: "I want you to ****. Sister, I listen to you very much." He smiled unscrupulously: "Didn't you say you wanted to change the day?"
Yu Fengzhi no longer responded, turning from shame to love, immersed in the ocean of joy.
Zhang Hanqing’s major life events were over, and his mission to rejuvenate the country began again with great fanfare. As a compliment to his victory in the previous stage of taking charge of the Guard Brigade in suppressing bandits, Zhang Hanqing "applied" to promote Han Linchun, who had made meritorious service in the bandit suppression operations, to the post of Chief of Staff of the Guard Brigade. Guo Songling, who "strategized", was actually promoted to Deputy Chief of Staff of the Guard Brigade and was promoted to Commander. For the colonel. This is just Governor Zhang's personal decision and has nothing to do with the Central Committee.
On the contrary, Zhang Hanqing, who had been appointed as a colonel by the Central Government and a counselor at the Governor's Office, was promoted to a regular position and officially served as the deputy brigade commander of the Guards Brigade, but he was still the acting brigade commander.
Zhang Hanqing was speechless that he could be promoted even if he lay on a woman’s belly. He did a lot of work in suppressing the bandits, but the battle was basically fought by Han Linchun and Guo Songling, okay? Of course you won't be dissatisfied if you get benefits for yourself, but you are just afraid that others will gossip about you. Well, it's better to go to the front line and perform meritorious service. Now that the suppression of bandits has come to an end, this meritorious service is deserved. In addition, the bandits actually arrived near Zhengjiatun, Yu Fengzhi's natal home, and threatened to retaliate against Zhengjiatun, which shocked Yu Fengzhi three times a day.
The situation is either bearable or unbearable. If the recently married wife’s natal family is taken away, where will Zhang Hanqing’s face go? This is no joke. Judging from the hatred of the bandit army after their sudden defeat, a bloodbath in Zhengjiatun is not impossible. When he thought that the prosperous Zhengjiatun was about to suffer a military disaster, Zhang Hanqing felt obliged to completely get rid of this stubborn bandit.

He glanced at Huang Wanqing's waist. It was slender and graceful, and it didn't look like she was wearing a weapon. It's probably harmless to the young marshal, and the young marshal's posture doesn't look like he's being eaten, so he won't make a light bulb. He asked meaningfully and silently with his eyes, and received Zhang Hanqing's affirmative expression, so he and Cui'er exited the room, closing the door behind them.
There is a lonely man and a widowed woman in the same room, and the woman has "intentions" and the man has "plans", making the atmosphere even more suffocating. Huang Wanqing plucked up the courage and whispered: "If the young marshal can let my father go, I, I" She avoided Zhang Hanqing's eyes, where people and animals harmed me, but still let her little deer bump into each other: "I am willing to be the bargaining chip myself. "
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and the courage she had finally accumulated disappeared at this moment.
If we take stock of the best news in the five years of the Republic of China, for Zhang Hanqing, it was not escaping from Beijing, not Lao Yuan's ascension to heaven, not his father being crowned as governor, or taking control of the Guard Brigade.
Only now.
Even the joy of the wedding night was eclipsed at this moment. Although the marriage had been a wonderful few days, after deducting the suffering before the wedding, the happiness was a little weaker. After all, as the eldest son of the warlord, the sense of wedding ceremony was too strong, which diluted the excitement of being a new groom. During this time, I am often busy in Xinmin, so I cannot help but be able to show mercy all the time, and I still have physical needs.
Zhang Hanqing felt an unknown fire surge all over his body. A beautiful woman comes to your door and uses her body as a bargaining chip. As a man, what else does a husband want? Before time travel, he was a man, with normal needs and a love of beauty; after time travel, he had the body of a handsome young man, with a tradition of not rejecting beautiful women. The two are superimposed, and his need for women is real and strong.
Huang Wanqing is in line with Zhang Hanqing's aesthetics in terms of figure, appearance, family background, and knowledge. Beautiful and capable women are the type he particularly likes. Especially the irresponsible "chips" made him even more excited.
Yu Fengzhi is the wife, and it is natural for them to live a married life without any trouble. Over time, it has become a routine; Hong Mudan is a nameless concubine, and she is beautiful. It is a pity that her background is not good, otherwise she would have been in Fengtian for such a long time. Shi Shi himself has not put the matter of "turning to a regular job" on the agenda. In fact, there is still some resistance subconsciously. Although men are carefree and like to play around, they still have an instinctive mind about these things, but they just can't see it when they are happy.
As for the third "company commander" I came into contact with, it was really improvisation, and there was no talk of emotion or desire. In fact, in the next few days, Zhang Hanqing also deeply reflected on himself: How could I be so hungry and unscrupulous? Being with such a woman is not romantic but indecent! The one who suffers is not her but me! Besides, contraceptives are not widely available these days. If you are unfortunately infected with any internal disease, the reputation will be very bad. I wonder when aids was born. If you are unfortunate enough to be infected, will you have to travel through time again? He had secretly sworn in his heart that he would never contact women who behaved inappropriately, even for free. This was the first commandment that Zhang took the initiative to promulgate.
But the Huang Wanqing in front of him made him feel like a girl next door. If she can throw herself into his arms, it will be natural and she will accept it happily. He was not a good bird in his previous life, and in this body now, he does not even know what etiquette is - and taking concubines is in line with tradition.
"This girl looks very nice. Wouldn't it be a bit shameless to take advantage of others' danger?" He likes women willingly, but bullying them is not his style. He is not a stallion, he also has emotional needs, and a woman who uses force to get him is boring. Men should win the favor of a woman in an upright manner, instead of being despised by her.
???????????????? And after he succeeded, he couldn’t just start chaos and end up giving up. Although the Republic of China was much more open than the Qing Dynasty, the concept of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues still had a strong market. I had a one-night stand with this girl, and I have to take responsibility from my conscience. But I was not mentally prepared to welcome a concubine to my door—the family was keeping a close eye on her.
"But there is no such shop after passing this village. If you leave this beauty alone, won't people say she is sick?" Liu Xiahui speculated in his mind that either he had great intentions or he had a physical problem.
To go up or not to go up? This is a problem.
In this world, Red Peony saved her from fire and water. Her wife was forced to marry her at first, not to mention "company commander", it was purely physical needs. Since time travel, I haven't had the opportunity to have a serious love affair and seduce the woman I like with my skills. It can't be said that it's not a huge regret. As my father's status gets higher and higher, I will also get better, and more women will throw themselves into my arms. But, is this what I want?
I want to conquer a woman, not just physically, but to possess her psychologically. The girl in front of me is the one I want to conquer. Understand her, influence her, conquer her, and then be with her naturally!
For the first time, Zhang Hanqing became a gentleman in front of a beautiful woman.
Huang Wanqing finally made the opening remarks, and was waiting for Zhang Hanqing to push the boat smoothly, but after waiting for a while, Zhang Hanqing did not reply. When he looked up, he saw that Zhang Hanqing was silent and seemed to be thinking. I thought he didn't understand what I meant, and was thinking about how to repeat this embarrassing incident, but I heard Zhang Hanqing say slowly: "Men don't care about loyalty, loyalty is because the stakes for betrayal are too low; women don't care about decency, decency comes from the temptation they receive." Not enough. It’s true.”
Not knowing why, Zhang Hanqing suddenly smiled, showing his white teeth - he was a very sunny man. Why am I still paying attention to this at this time? Huang Wanqing herself couldn't explain clearly.
Since Zhang Hanqing has made a decision, he can naturally afford to take it up and let it go. He tried hard to suppress his passion and cursed "come out" in his mind. If a man can't even take care of this little thing in his crotch, what big things can he expect to do? He couldn't help but look directly at Huang Wanqing's seductive little mouth and smiled heartily: "Miss Huang, who do you think I, Zhang Hanqing, am?"
There is nothing you can do about it. If you pretend to be cool, you will be struck by lightning. If you want to be a master, you must first endure the hardships. Bear with it.
Although it hurts, at this moment, his image in her heart should be very high, right? Humph, with her father as a "chip" in her hand and knowing her family situation, where else could she go? Sooner or later, you have to be a good person in the house, that's all!
Should she be moved now?
Huang Wanqing was ashamed and angry, and even offered to sacrifice herself but was rejected! How can this make a yellow-flowered girl feel so embarrassed? But it was a relief to her. Although the situation forced her to take this step, she was not ready to truly devote herself to it. It seems that this young marshal is not as lecherous as the rumors say, but his "request" to sacrifice himself was rejected in person. From another perspective, it is a bit hurtful to his self-esteem.
She is a daughter of a serious family. She has used up all her courage to recommend herself as a pillow. Now she has absolutely no fighting spirit to continue this topic, otherwise it would be despicable.
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing's impassioned words covered up her shyness: "I can't do anything about your father's matter. He violated the government's laws, and he deserves the blame - but what I can guarantee is that his life is safe."
After hearing the previous sentence, Huang Wanqing replied that the beauty trap was useless, her heart sank, and the following sentence sounded like Feng Lun. She burst into tears with joy: "Young Marshal, you mean that my father will not be in danger of life?"
Zhang Hanqing nodded solemnly. This promise can be kept. He had no intention of killing Mr. Huang, but he just wanted to squeeze out the last drop of money. Now that we know the relationship between the beautiful woman and him, we must give him this face and leave a little bit of a sliver in his life so that we can meet him easily in the future. He said softly: "Since Miss Huang has come to plead for mercy, of course the person can be released, but it may take some time. Don't worry about this first. After all, he has committed a crime. I need an excuse and a method, otherwise the order will not work. Without discipline, how can I manage the army and government?"
Huang Wanqing understood this truth, and she bowed deeply to Zhang Hanqing: "Young Marshal's kindness will never be forgotten."
Peering down the fair neck, Zhang Hanqing could vaguely see two rounds of delicate pink halos. Thinking about it just now, just by following the trend, I could completely see the true appearance and explore it thoroughly, but now I have to stand there and daydream, fainting!
When the words were spoken, Zhang Hanqing suddenly thought of a question. He asked Huang Wanqing: "Miss Huang, your father and Marshal Feng from Beizhen are strangers to each other. How come Marshal Feng suddenly intervened in this matter?"
Huang Wanqing still knew about this because on the night her father asked Feng Delin for help, she even gave her father a few words of advice. She remembered that her father once said: "Zhang Zuolin's brother-in-law pointed me to a job, how could he be wrong? Even his brother-in-law Even though he and his brother-in-law are not of the same mind, this handsome man is also very glamorous!" The young commander gave her face very much, and it was hard for her to hide it. Moreover, the disaster that happened to his family this time was caused by someone else instigating him to be the leader. This person didn't feel at ease when he thought about it.
"Zhang Zuolin's brother-in-law"? Zhang Hanqing can be sure that this must be Dai Xianzhi. Among my father’s concubines, those with brothers are the first, third and fourth aunts. Dafang is also her mother. Her brother Zhao Xiguo is Zhang Zuolin's counselor and special envoy. He is highly respected and favored. Moreover, he is his own uncle, so he will not collude with outsiders to deal with him. Fourth Fang has always been suppressed by Third Fang, but I have always respected this timid and fearful fourth mother, and I don't have such a big resentment. Only Dai Xianzhi, the third roommate, had a dispute with him some time ago, and he was also angry and wanted to show his face. Is it possible? Should it be here?
If this is the case, we should use various means to dispel it. Otherwise, where is the prestige of the young marshal?

Chapter 246 Breakthrough

If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. After all, the Guard Division is not on the stage and is not recognized by the central government. Except for Zhang Hanqing's colonel rank, which was specially appointed after the suppression of bandits, Ji Yiqiao's rank was originally in Beijing, and the others' Military ranks are self-appointed. They may look glamorous, but if there is a big change or if they want to develop in the military, they must solve the problem of their military rank. Furthermore, several people in the young marshal department are already officers with more than 10,000 troops, and it is time for them to be promoted.
So Zhang Zuolin carefully reported to Duan Qirui: "I have been ordered to recruit the main force of Xu's First Division, but the rank of the general in charge is not enough. It is urgent to be appointed by the Central Committee so that the top and bottom can work together and serve the country." He reported The heads are: Zhang Hanqing, Han Linchun, and Guo Songling are planned to be appointed as major generals——although division commanders are traditionally supposed to be lieutenant generals, considering that Lao Zhang himself is only a lieutenant general, and they are juniors in the military after all, it is indeed feasible to get the job done in one step. Somewhat excessive.
As for Wang Yizhe being the colonel, I don't think there is any problem. The rest of them all had their achievements in suppressing the bandits last time. They only passed it off in one stroke and only waited for the Central Committee's recognition.
It stands to reason that the military is an important weapon of the country, and promotion to military ranks naturally requires the approval of the president. However, Zhang Zuolin always clearly supported Prime Minister Duan Qirui in all previous central government actions, so President Li Yuanhong was not interested in him. If there is discord in the palace, don't let it affect your son's promotion. Therefore, even if Zhang Hanqing is already the commander of a division, he should be promoted to lieutenant general to match his rank. However, given that he was only promoted to colonel last time, it may be difficult to upgrade beyond the previous level! Therefore, in order to be safe, Zhang Hanqing had to rank with Han and Guo.
Not long ago, Ni Sichong, the governor of Anhui Province who belonged to the Anhui clique, met with President Li Yuanhong and recommended his nephew Ni Yufen as Army Lieutenant General and his son Ni Youchen as Army Major General. President Li, who has always been kind-hearted, rebuked loudly this time: "What, you came to Beijing just to seek wealth and honor for your nephews and sons? Are they worthy of lieutenant generals and major generals?" This made a military governor feel ashamed. , please don’t point the finger at yourself this time.
The reason why Zhang Zuolin was so cautious was because President Li Yuanhong, who was at a disadvantage in the battle between the government and the Yuan, although he appeared to be an honest man, was actually a person of great character. The reason why he seems honest is because he is in a high position but does it with bare hands and has no choice but to do it. Everyone regards him as a puppet, but in fact he is unwilling to accept it. If his dragon scale is really violated, he will still have a fit.
He was fully aware of Duan Qirui’s purpose of convening provincial governors-general to come to Beijing in the name of convening a military conference. Is it nothing more than to put pressure on himself and Congress? Overall, he couldn't resist, but that didn't mean he had no choice. This Ni Sichong was the target of his anger.
Ni Sichong was the first to respond to the call and went to Beijing. A provincial governor was equivalent to the "little daughter-in-law" of the military governor, and he originally did not have much power. But because he has soldiers in his hands, this provincial governor is different. He does not regard himself as a provincial governor - he is supposed to convene a military meeting and have no business with you as a provincial governor! It would be strange if Li Yuanhong didn't make fun of this person from the opposing faction for his "sponsorship"!
Being rejected on the spot, Governor Ni felt very humiliated and wanted to reject it later. So when Prime Minister Duan Qirui ordered the provincial governors to collectively enter the presidential palace in an attempt to use the power of the "warlords" to demonstrate to President Lebanese and force him to agree to declare war on Germany, Ni Sichong was the first to jump out and talk about the benefits of declaring war on Germany. Little did he know that the last time President Li lost his temper was just a small test, and that his evil fire had just begun. Inadvertently, he once again became the target of venting.
Li Yuanhong knew in his heart that these governors were instigated by Duan Qirui to threaten him, and he couldn't bear the anger anymore. Maybe he had endured it for too long before, and he denounced the governors in person for interfering in state affairs as soldiers and leaving their posts without permission. Party in Beijing. The president, who has always been known as a good old man, suddenly lost his temper, surprising everyone, and no one responded for a while.
It was Ni Sichong who took the lead in attacking. Seeing that Li Yuanhong had used the authority of the president, he had no choice but to use foreigners to exert pressure. Of course, he still mentioned euphemistically, "The ministers from all countries want us to participate in the war" Li Yuanhong still wanted to go to war, but he supported him again and yelled at him. : "You are the governor, what qualifications do you have to speak to the diplomatic corps!"
One sentence made Ni Sichong blush, there was nothing he could do, he was not qualified enough! He could only argue that he came to attend a military meeting and was not considered absent from duty. However, Li Yuanhong yelled at him again: "You are the governor of the province, what qualifications do you have to participate in a military meeting!"
There’s nothing wrong with that. Although Ni Sichong always thought that he was "not just" a provincial governor, he was indeed just a provincial governor. It's true that he has strength, but if he has to join his army for justice and honor, there is nothing he can do.
After this incident came out, Ni Sichong lost all his face. This is the first time since the Republic of China that local warlords have been scolded so mercilessly. Even Yuan Shikai, the most powerfulI have never been so disrespectful to him before, and he has always been easy to talk to and discuss. But he was trained to be "reasonable" and he didn't dare to contradict him face to face. After all, he was the president and a ****, so he could only withdraw in a hurry.
This incident deeply encouraged everyone in the government, and they all said that the president had a good temper, so that no one would bully our president again. After this incident, even Duan Qirui restrained himself, at least not daring to do many things openly. The aftermath even affected Zhang Zuolin, who was far away from the customs. He was also worried about losing face.
What are you afraid of? When he saw Zhang Zuolin's request, President Li finally felt the thrill of revenge. He waved his pen and said: "Under the old state-owned system, the time of Zhang Hanqing's promotion to colonel is too close to this time, so it is not appropriate to rush it so as not to shock the world; Han Linchun in He had a lot of merit in the last bandit suppression, so it was natural that he would be promoted to Major General. Guo Songling had only been in the army for a short time, and even though he had meritorious service, he was not worthy of being ranked among the generals. He should be awarded the rank of colonel to encourage those who advance further. As for the others, Wait, Governor Zhang can report his merits and approve it as appropriate." In one sentence, Zhang Hanqing's path to becoming a general was blocked.
Although Duan Qirui arranged for Zhang Zuolin to control the First Division, he did not want him to expand his power in his heart. Li Yuanhong suppressed the development of his troops with the presidential order, which was naturally secretive. Of course, on the surface, he had to act indignant and defend Zhang Zuolin.
“Can this kind of trick deceive the shrewd Zhang Zuolin? Even though Ni Sichong's nephew and son were in trouble, didn't they get what they wanted under Duan Qirui's "interference"? Why did you show that face when it was your turn? Who are you putting on a show for?
But his arms couldn’t twist his thighs, and Li Yuanhong no longer had the strength. He was also the president of the Republic of China, and many things were done in his name. He didn't agree, and Prime Minister Duan didn't support it, so the matter was basically dismissed.
The great luck among the misfortunes is that Han Linchun of the Young Marshal Department was promoted. This is a prerequisite for becoming a prince in the future. But what is embarrassing is that as the division commander, Zhang Hanqing's military rank is not as good as that of the deputy division commander Han Linchun, which is somewhat disgusting. According to Han Linchun's intention, he wants to resign from this appointment - we can't make it difficult for the young commander! But Zhang Hanqing smiled openly and said: "Opportunities don't come easily, so don't refuse, Brother Han."
Angry and angry, Zhang Zuolin was determined to give Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui a show of strength. He forcibly upgraded the establishment of the Guard Brigade to the Guard Division - anyway, the structure was complete, and the only thing missing was formal recognition. The former commanders of several regiments of the Guard Brigade were all promoted to colonel. Among them was Wang Wensheng, the former commander of the cavalry battalion who was promoted at the same time as Zhang Hanqing. He is now the commander of the newly formed cavalry regiment of the rear division—— - He is also the fastest-promoted among the generals in the Guard Division, so he has to take advantage of the restructuring. As for the brigade commanders and division deputy chiefs of staff of the two brigades, they were also promoted to colonels (the full-time brigade commanders are now concurrently held by Guo Songling and Han Linchun). Anyway, except for high-ranking officers, all other positions are in line with the requirements.
Under Zhang Zuolin’s insistence, Li Yuanhong did not pick and choose this time, and passed the exam without hesitation. He also stopped mentioning the fact that many people’s last promotion time was too close to this one.
After Xu Lanzhou left, Yingshun, with the support of Ba Ying'e, began to persecute Bao Guiqing. They incited Jiang Province's military circles to oppose Feng Jun's entry and threatened Bao Guiqing with force. The situation in Jiang Province became turbulent again.
Bao Guiqing sent a secret message to Zhang Zuolin, asking for assistance. After receiving the urgent report, Zhang Zuolin immediately informed his allied brother Wu Junsheng to lead a unit of Beishangjiang Province in the name of annihilating the Mongolian rebels, together with the first unit of Han Linchun's Guards Division stationed in Zhengjiatun, and suddenly drove to Qiqihar to suppress the 1st Heilongjiang Infantry Brigade. Chang Ba Ying'e and Ying Shun, commander of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade, were relieved of their military power and completed full control of Heilongjiang. Subsequently, Zhang Zuolin and Bao Guiqing, through high-level management, asked the Beijing government to remove Yingshun and Ba Ying'e from their posts on charges of threatening officials and embezzling public funds.
The reason why Wu Junsheng was very active in this incident was his brotherly relationship with Zhang Zuolin, and it was also inseparable from the good impression Zhang Hanqing had given him before. In particular, Zhang Hanqing mentioned to him in private: Hei Province will be in trouble and opportunities will change, and it is difficult for Wu to have a future in Taonan. It is better to seize the opportunity to enter Hei Province, or take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
Seeing that the prospect of Jiang Province that Zhang Hanqing had described to him was becoming more realistic step by step, Lao Wu, who had been stationary for many years, couldn't help but get ready to make a move. Zhang Zuolin also promised privately that Bao Guiqing would never be able to secure the throne of Jiang Province. Once the opportunity changed, he would fully support Wu Junsheng to take over as the governor of Heilongjiang. This was also the feeling that Lao Wu had taken the blame for his son Zhang Hanqing in Zhengjiatun.
Under the strict orders of Beijing and the guns of Wu Junsheng's troops, Yingshun and Ba Ying'e did not dare to disobey the orders, so they had to hand over their military power obediently. The turmoil in Jiang Province's military circles was completely quelled, and Bao Guiqing's position was consolidated. However, his position was supported by the troops of Feng Jun and Wu Junsheng. In essence, Bao Guiqing also became Zhang Zuolin's senior puppet. The reason why he did not change horses directly was because Zhang Zuolin did not want to be too sharp, and Bao Guiqing was also a confidant of "Master Duan Qirui" of the Central Committee, so it would be better to use him to control the situation. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)It's too sharp to think, and Bao Guiqing is also a confidant of "Master" Duan Qirui of the Central Committee, so it would be better to use him to control the situation.

Chapter 248 Mixed with Sand
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
However, the organization of Wu Junsheng's division is different from that of a general army division: usually an army division has two infantry brigades, each brigade has two infantry regiments, and the division has one artillery regiment and one cavalry regiment. However, the 29th Division lost one infantry brigade and had one more cavalry brigade. This kind of organization was really rare at the time.
No one else can blame this, because this designation was formed based on the merger of Lao Wu's original military strength, and Zhang Zuolin just gave him a name. But even so, Wu Junsheng is still grateful to Lao Zhang, because this has fulfilled a dream he has had for many years!
Therefore, when He and Han Linchun were appointed to succeed Xu Lanzhou as the commander of the 1st Army Division, Wu Junsheng was willing to do so without any objection, leaving Commander Feng Delin, Warden Bao Guiqing and even Duan Qirui, who had expected Zhang and Wu to fall out due to improper division of interests. Even the Prime Minister can't see through the situation.
Isn’t it just a false name? Would Lao Wu be so stupid as not to give Lao Zhang a share of the pie? I dare not say that there are too many, but it can be done by dividing the two brigades of the Black Province equally, right?
But Lao Wu had other ideas.
From the fact that Zhang Zuolin calmly asked the Central Committee to fight hard for him to be a division commander, it can be seen that Lao Zhang is very angry and dares not to take the Central Committee seriously! But isn’t the central government obediently obedient? It can be seen that the political climate of the country has quietly changed. Compared with Lao Zhang's skills, he is no match! Even if we give him another brigade, he is far from Zhang Zuolin's opponent. It would be better to be more submissive and get some benefits by going against Zhang Zuolin who is showing his fangs.
This is the opinion of Dong Yunsheng, Wu Junsheng’s chief of staff, and represents the opinion of the vast majority of people in the military. There is always a person in the world whose respect for the strong comes from the bottom of his heart. As Zhang Zuolin became stronger, Wu Junsheng had consciously become his subordinate, so Old Wu would sit back and watch Han Linchun recruit the army of Heilongjiang Province.
Gathering the troops of Yingshun and Ba Ying'e, these senior generals of the old Heilongjiang Province became full-fledged commanders. Through this, Zhang Zuolin indirectly took Heilongjiang Province as his own, and thus took the essential step of transforming into the "King of the Northeast" Sexual pace.
The reason why Han Linchun was forcibly appointed as the commander of the First Division by Lao Zhang was mainly out of spite: among the Guards Division, he was the only one with the highest rank, and Lao Zhang had just encountered the Central Committee's rejection of the Guards Brigade's request for promotion, which was a shame. Big mistake, I have to compete with this appointment. Do you give me a look? I also returned the color once. Han Linchun has low qualifications and is only a major general, but I insist on appointing him as the division commander when he should be a lieutenant general. What should you do?
disagree? Looking at Jiang Province's decline, at this stage, besides me, Lao Zhang, who else can turn the tide?
However, Han Linchun stood out among a series of veterans in Fengjun, which inevitably made some people dissatisfied. Among the 27th Division with many veterans, there are many people who are qualified to be the division commander. General Counselor Yang Yuting and Yang Yuting are very uncomfortable. In his mind, he is the best candidate to be the commander of the First Division.
Considering the sudden rise of Han Linchun, Guo Songling, who was also a minister of His Highness, would inevitably have some ideas. According to the laws of human nature: It is sad to face a good friend who is not doing well, but what is even more sad is that a good friend encounters a better opportunity.
Zhang Hanqing did not want these dissonances to interfere with his development plans. Historically, he has been thinking about the tragedy of Guo Songling being unable to lose his position and Yang Yuting being proud of his achievements. In history, these two most talented people in the Feng family withered in the prime of their lives, causing huge losses to the Feng family and the country. Although he will not forget about it, this possibility can be eliminated from the system. Impact is necessary.
Mao Zedong once said a very famous saying: "Wherever there are people, there are left, center and right." It is a novelist's idea to unrealistically think that the bastard spirit brought by time travel can win over everyone. As a leader, it is an ability to coordinate the relationship between subordinates and create constraints in a timely manner. Zhang Zuolin has the means to control Sun Liechen, Zhang Jinghui, and Zhang Zuoxiang, so he should have the means to create a positive competitive atmosphere for Han Linchun, Guo Songling, and others, instead of tearing each other down.
Han Linchun is known for his loyalty and is a veteran who follows him, so let him become an independent pole; Guo Songling has the ability and means, but don't let him take his promotion for granted, and have to progress slowly - in history, he is He trusted the other party too much and handed over almost all of his belongings to him, so that he developed the crime of mutiny - let's call it a crime. If he didn't have so much power, he might act less arrogantly.
Therefore, after long consideration, Zhang Hanqing decided that it would be better to let Han Linchun control an army cleanly - Han Linchun was the first well-known person in the military to follow him, and his rise to the top was also the best advertisement for himself. ——Come with me, it is definitely the right choice!
In addition, there is also concern for Guo SonglingAs a commander, he is in charge of the army, manages the people, and has created a powerful People's Party. Naturally, people are willing to surround him. This is human nature. After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. What's more, he now has half of Fengtian's power in his hands.
Then Zhang Zuolin exercised his power of military governor and successively incorporated the back patrol team stationed in Taonan and the right patrol team stationed in Malongtan, Fengcheng, and eventually turned Fengtian's traditional four armed forces into Feng Delin and his own. In terms of absolute strength, Feng Delin is obviously weaker than Zhang Zuolin.
The various units of the 27th Division and the troops on the rear and right flanked Feng Delin's 28th Division in a semi-encirclement formation, making Feng Delin feel Zhang Zuolin's momentum for the first time. With the support of a stable gun barrel, Zhang Zuolin can now do some things he has wanted to do for a long time. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 257 Reorganizing the Arsenal
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: But now Zhang Hanqing has suddenly emerged, which makes his position as general counselor somewhat embarrassing.
Many of his opinions and suggestions were implemented by Zhang Hanqing in a more immediate way. For example, he stipulated the land tax system and dug out a large amount of uncultivated wasteland from warlords and landlords for farmers to cultivate and develop production to enhance Fengtian's economic strength. The original idea of ??this job was to transfer it on a lease basis, but Zhang Hanqing successfully closed the palace with land reform; before Zhang Hanqing, he had already devoted himself to making weapons and ammunition to equip the army at Fengtian Arsenal, and his vision was one step ahead of Zhang Hanqing, but Zhang Hanqing's determination to make his own weapons was far behind. More so than him.
In addition, as the general counselor, he also proposed to Zhang Zuolin to build war-ready roads. Because at that time, the rights to the South Manchuria Railway in Northeast China belonged to Japan. After the war-prepared roads were built, the Feng army's transportation could not be hijacked by Japan. Once the war broke out, they could use roads to deal with the Japanese army. Like the last time the Japanese suppressed bandits, they could not control the trains. The dilemma of using the Guard Brigade will not happen again. However, when Zhang Hanqing also proposed the idea of ??building his own highway, Zhang Zuolin gave all the credit to his son.
There are many things that cannot change the embarrassment that he must rely on Zhang Zuolin to do things. Zhang Hanqing was a young boy, but because he had an army, he was called a rising star by Fengtian people, and his influence surpassed that of his superiors (Zhang Hanqing also served as a counselor of the Military Governor's Office, under him as the general counselor). Even an outsider like Han Linchun can be the leader of a division, so why can't he think more? Isn't Zhang Hanqing relying on his group of people in the military?
This failure in the competition for provincial governor made Yang Yuting feel that his development in the political world was restricted and he needed to make a difference in the military. The candidates for the positions of front-line chief officers have been decided, and both young and old Zhang are vigorously improving the status of the auxiliary military services, so it seems that it is not a bad idea to take a different approach. Because Han Linchun traveled far away to Heilongjiang, he was bound to be unable to take care of his original position as the general office of the arsenal. Therefore, he proposed to Zhang Zuolin that he should be replaced by Ding Chao, his classmate in the Japanese Military Academy.
He is the supervisor of the arsenal. If Ding Chao gets the general office again, he will control the lifeline of Fengtian army equipment, which will greatly increase the weight of his voice in the army.
" Lao Zhang is all-powerful in this matter, but Zhang Hanqing absolutely disagrees. Just like when Han Linchun joined the Guards Brigade and was still the general office of the arsenal, he had to take a temporary post no matter how busy he was, even though the specific affairs were handled by Yang Wenkai.
One of the advantages brought by time travel is the right to predict international and national events in advance, and the other is the right to dominate military development. The Feng family has gradually become a fledgling team, everyone is working hard and everyone wants to make plans for the future. At this time, it goes without saying that Fengtian Arsenal plays an important role. Whoever masters it will get priority in weapons distribution, and whoever has more power will be greater.
This is also one of the reasons why in official history, although Yang Yuting did not officially command the army, his power in Fengtian was second only to Zhang Zuolin. For a long time, he has held the two positions of arsenal supervisor and general counselor. With these two positions, he gathered a lot of people around him.
Knowing his performance in history, Zhang Hanqing was calculated mentally and unintentionally, so he grasped the important power to handle daily routine affairs in advance, and Han Linchun was an important fulcrum. He must be one of the supervisory and general offices.
Han Linchun took office in Black Province, and his general office could not be represented by Yang Wenkai for a long time. There is nothing wrong with Yang Yuting seizing this opportunity to recommend his own people. In comparison, Yang Wenkai's qualifications were far worse than Ding Chao's. Apart from his technical skills, Yang Wenkai, an outsider, had no deterrent effect on the soldiers in the arsenal.
Yang Yuting felt that he was sure of it.
"But the deep love between father and son could not be tolerated. In private, Zhang Hanqing and Zhang Zuolin talked about the restructuring of the arsenal. He said: "Father, as you know, I have always advocated the separation of the military and police, and the separation of military and political affairs. The purpose is simply to let those with expertise stay in charge and to reduce the number of mountains below my father. The promotion of the chief of staff position, the division-level expansion The expansion has also dispersed the power of the hilltops. Now the military and political affairs are generally under the control of my father, but the arsenal, where we invest the most and spend the most, does not yet have a corresponding decentralization mechanism. This is a place where corruption and influence easily breed. So next, I hope my father will restrain this.
The arsenal has both a supervisory office and a general office, as well as meeting offices, assistant offices and sitting offices. At first glance, it seems that there are many managers, but we have not been able to produce our own cannons yet, which is seriously out of proportion to the investment. According to my observation, one of the main reasons is that people are distracted and have their own agenda. Everyone knows that making guns is easier than making cannons, so the gun production lines have been expanded by two. However, the cannon production lines currently do not have enough machines. I guess it's because the managers are all technicians with rigid thinking and unwilling to take risks.It is easy to produce results; in addition, it cannot keep up with the real needs of the army and the rapid changes in weapons development.
Therefore, I think that the division commanders of each division or their representatives should also serve as supervisors of the arsenal, and let them make requests to the arsenal instead of allocating whatever the arsenal produces. General Counselor Yang also serves as his governor-general's office, but he focuses on the deliberation and resolutions of the supervisors. In the name of the supervisory committee, he proposes production requirements to the arsenal and organizes acceptance inspections.
In order to prevent bullies from being issued, the organizational structure of the arsenal must also be reshuffled. After all, it is a production unit, and its management is mainly based on technicians and less on administrative orders. My idea is to have a factory director who is only responsible for the operation and quality improvement of the factory, and meeting the production requirements of the supervision committee.
And all outputs must be distributed uniformly by another department as required. There was only one 27th Division before, so there was no need to say that the meat rotted in the pot, and there was no system for distribution. Now we, the Second Uncle Company, have a total of four divisions. More or less distribution will affect the relationship between the various units. What I mean is to set up a department to handle this matter uniformly. The name can be called the Equipment Department or the Ordnance Department, and it can also be listed under the Military Warden's Office.
In this way, the three links of planning, production, and distribution are mutually reinforcing, meet the actual needs of the army, and can all be controlled by the father. The equipment of each army can also be transparent. "
For Zhang Hanqing, who was at the middle level of an enterprise before time travel, the spirit of modern enterprise management has been deeply rooted in his bones. Only the separation of ownership and management rights can lead to healthy development of enterprises. The "one word" method has long been proven to be a backward management system that "succeeds and fails," and later generations shocked the General Armament Department inside and outside the military because of its "corruption methods." It has been proven that unchecked power corrupts not just in politics.
Zhang Hanqing’s idea is essentially to divide Yang Yuting’s original power into three, especially the most important distribution power. If it is really realized, Yang Yuting's Governor's Office will really become a "supervisory" office and become an output unit. The position of the Governor-General can only be regarded as the general manager, and the department responsible for distribution is the board of directors. In this case, Zhang Hanqing would not hesitate to let him intervene in the management of the arsenal - Yang Yuting had nothing to say about his management capabilities.
Zhang Zuolin was shocked again. He knew what Yang Yuting was thinking. It was just that the army chief had nothing to do with him and wanted to make a presence felt in the logistics equipment. He had basically agreed with the candidate he recommended, and Ding Chao was not bad either.
It can be predicted that Xiao Liuzi will fight for his manpower to the end, because he has two divisions of his own and needs a large supply of weapons. With Han Linchun in the arsenal, it will of course be much more convenient. However, Zhang Hanqing's words were entirely out of public interest, from the perspective of controlling power, and for the purpose of achieving the production efficiency of the arsenal. It is foreseeable that this method will definitely produce good results.
Unless you are a politician who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, how can Xiao Liuzi get so many clever ideas?
The gratified Marshal Zhang immediately followed suit. As a result, not only Han Linchun could continue to play a role in the arsenal, but Zhang Hanqing also had the opportunity to share Yang Yuting's supervisory role. The commanders of the other divisions are not good at making mistakes. Of course, they will send capable personnel to supervise major matters related to their own interests, which invisibly dilutes the power of the arsenal originally controlled by Yang Yuting.
I don’t know how Yang Yuting feels about stealing the chicken but losing a handful of rice. Anyway, the final result of this round of personnel fluctuations is that Yang Wenkai became the director of the Fengtian Arsenal, and Mi Chunlin also served as the director of the newly established equipment department of the Warlord’s Office. , the Young Marshal Department won a great victory.
Of course, in order to take care of Yang Yuting's emotions, Ding Chao was appointed as the general counselor of the Heilongjiang Military Governor's Office, and his military rank was also promoted to major general. However, considering the limited influence of Black Governor Bao Guiqing, his role as general counselor is probably even more limited.
Seeing that the young marshal's influence completely overshadowed his own limelight, General Counselor Yang said that it was impossible not to have resentment. He himself was not a tolerant person, otherwise the official history would not have been "arrogant". And was killed by Zhang Xueliang. No, he directly refuted Zhang Hanqing's opinion at the first supervisory meeting that was about to be held.
Zhang Hanqing suggested that the development of Fengtian Arsenal should be appropriately tilted towards heavy firepower weapons. It should first achieve the maintenance and repair of ordinary artillery technology and then naturally transition to the ability to produce artillery. This is called "small steps and fast progress". Yang Yuting said sarcastically: "You haven't learned how to crawl yet and you want to fly? The construction of an arsenal is not a child's play. The production of artillery often costs hundreds of thousands or millions of equipment. Where does the money come from? Where do you buy the equipment? Four divisions have been expanded at once. If they can't meet the requirements of just firearms, why talk about artillery? Besides, the 27th Division has an artillery regiment with dozens of artillery pieces. Do you need to spend such a high price to build a maintenance line for it? Even if you have money, Spend it on the blade!”
Zhang Hanqing smiled at him: "You can't set your sights so low. We will have more and more cannons, and there will be a batch soon!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)m
Chapter 259 Restoration
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The emperor has always made three concessions and made three speeches when he ascended the throne. In the Zhou Dynasty, "the ruler of the country has five points, three questions, three words of worship and acceptance, and all of them are exiles" Therefore, when Zhang Xun petitioned for the restoration, he said: "(Five years ago) Emperor Longyu The Queen Mother could not bear to let the common people suffer for the sake of the honor of her surname, so she issued an edict to establish a republic. However, the people did not know how to make a living A republic is not in line with our national conditions. Only when the emperor is restored can the people be saved" Pu Yi followed the instructions of the emperor's teacher Chen Baochen. Qian Rang said: "I am too young and have no talent or virtue to take on such a big responsibility."
Zhang Xun immediately praised: "The emperor is wise and sage, and everyone in the world knows it. In the past, the sage emperor (referring to Kangxi) also practiced Zuo at a young age."
Puyi quickly followed Chen Baochen's instructions and said: "In this case, I will do whatever it takes!"
So, Zhang Xun, Kang Youwei and others knelt on the ground again and shouted long live. Wang Shizhen and others had no choice but to kneel down and cheer casually.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xun sent Liang Dingfen, an old minister of the Qing Dynasty, and others to knock on the door of the Presidential Palace at five o'clock with the edict conferring the title of first-class duke Li Yuanhong on Li Yuanhong and the memorial "Li Yuanhong petitioned to return the state affairs" written by Kang Youwei in advance. Li Yuanhong was asked to sign the memorial.
However, he was hesitant to call Li Yuanhong in the comments. At first he wanted to call him "President", which felt inappropriate; later he planned to call him "the minister", but after all, the head of state of the Republic of China should not be called "minister". Finally, Kang Youwei said: "It is more appropriate to call him 'this member'." When people asked him why, Kang Youwei said: "China originally belongs to your Majesty. Because of the Revolution of 1911, your Majesty entrusted the world's major affairs to him in order to calm people down." Yuan Shikai managed it. After Yuan Shikai died, Li Yuanhong succeeded him. These two people are nothing more than His Majesty's 'administrators', so they are called 'this person' is the best!"
"Poor Li Yuanhong looked for the stars and the moon. He finally hoped for a savior, but he didn't expect it to be a disaster star. Li Yuanhong, who wanted to use Zhang Xun's help to drive away Duan Qirui, was shocked when he understood Liang Dingfen's purpose. He knew he had been fooled: he drove away Duan Qirui's wolf at the front door, but attracted Zhang Xun's tiger at the back door! He sternly refused and said: "The position of the president is entrusted by the people, and I dare not do anything without reluctance. If the restoration issue is proposed by Zhang Shaoxuan (Zhang Xun) alone, I am afraid that China and foreign countries may not recognize it, so how can I dare to agree to it privately?" Woolen cloth?"
Liang Dingfen threatened: "The old things from the first dynasty should be returned. If the prince does not agree, he may regret it."
Li Yuanhong simply closed his eyes and ignored it. Liang Dingfen had no choice but to leave in anger. The next day, Li Yuanhong called Vice President Feng Guozhang, who lived in Nanjing, to take over as acting president, and he fled to the Japanese Embassy District in Dongjiaomin Lane for refuge.
Poor Lao Li was forced into power by Prime Minister Duan, and now he is forced into the palace. As president, he is extremely miserable.
Zhang Xun supported the restoration of the deposed emperor Puyi, proclaimed himself minister of state affairs, governor-general of Zhili, and minister of Beiyang, and changed the sixth year of the Republic of China (1917) to the ninth year of Xuantong. Feng Delin was also smug and complacent, feeling dazed and confused, but he didn't know why. He was so powerful that he ordered some officers and soldiers of the 28th Division to be sent to Beijing to "praise the restoration of Xiang and defend the imperial family." However, no one dared to take a trip into troubled waters because his subordinates, who had already lost their support, were in secret collusion with Zhang Zuolin's army.
The emperor is sitting in the Dragon Court again!
The Huanglong Flag Store, which had been out of business for more than five years, returned to its old business, but the supply was temporarily in short supply, and many families had to make a paper dragon flag to cope with the situation. And those princes, nobles, old people and young people who had long been looking forward to the restoration of the Qing Dynasty celebrated with their hats and gathered happily in front of the palace to wait to see the "Emperor"; those who did not have court clothes hurried to used clothes shops to buy court clothes, and those who did not have braids They went to a costume shop to order wigs made of ponytails. They put on long robes and mandarin jackets and swaggered through the market with real and fake big braids.
The general public, under coercion, hung up the dragon flag and put on fake pigtails, but they did not think that this restoration could succeed at all. When a newspaper boy on the streets of Beijing was selling the slogan "Xuan Tong's Edict", he shouted: "Six copper coins to buy an antique! This thing will turn into an antique in a few days. It's not expensive to buy an antique for six big copper coins!" This voice reflects general public opinion.
During the Restoration, the most precious thing was the braid on the back of the head. When Zhang Xun went to see the Qing emperor, Taibao Shixu said that his braids were inconsistent with the times and advised him to cut them off. Zhang Xun was very angry after hearing this and said: "It is precisely because all my soldiers have braids that it is difficult for traitors to sneak in. Don't all of these traitors have braids now?"
On the afternoon of the restoration, Zhang Xun was overjoyed when he reported that the streets were full of people with braids. He clapped his legs and lifted his beard and laughed: "I said people will never forget their old masters, and I live up to my words today. Otherwise, how could this happen? How many people have braids? This is what the people want!"
As the "literary sage" of this restoration, Kang Youwei's braids were short and bald, only hanging down six or seven inches, and they were as unkempt as cattails. Everyone's braids were kept intact. When someone criticized him for not being like a restorationist, Yasuo defended himself.??: "Since I fled overseas in the year of 1898, I had to cut my hair and change my clothes. Since the Revolution of 1911, I have returned to my motherland and grown my hair again. It has been more than five years ago, so it has not grown as long as a foot." People asked He, after the year of 1911, everyone else cut their hair, why did you grow it instead? Master Kang said proudly: "I had expected that this would happen!"
Kang Youwei not only had short braids, but also had his beard shaved off because he needed to disguise himself when going to Beijing in disguise. After the restoration was completed, Master Kang hoped to obtain the position of chief minister (chief cabinet scholar). When Zhang Xun asked Xuantong for instructions, Concubine Jin thought it was impossible, saying that the dynasty had never had a prime minister without a beard, and she only wanted to give him a The position of vice president of Bideyuan. When Kang Youwei learned about it, he was extremely depressed. He hurriedly bought some beard water from the drugstore and applied it two or three times within an hour. He always looked at himself in the mirror, just like a farmer looking at the seedlings. However, the situation is over, so hard work will eventually lead to no return.
Kang Youwei was very unhappy, so he complained and cursed Zhang Xun: "Since I have been assigned a false position, why did you send a telegram to recruit me to Beijing?" After Zhang Xun heard about it, he said angrily: "He doesn't have to do anything. , I got a ready-made position in Bideyuan, but now I am still greedy and insufficient. I am really a corrupt scholar and lack of strategy." After that, Zhang Xun said bitterly: "If he slanders me behind my back again, I will use barbaric means to deal with him. Him." After hearing this, Master Kang smiled back and said, "Others are afraid of him, but I am not afraid of him." When others asked why, Master Kang said, "He has a small gun beside him, and I also have a big gun beside me!" Let’s see who is more powerful in comparison!”
The two civil and military saints were not convinced by each other. Zhang Xun said: "My name is Zhang Xun, and today I have indeed established an immortal merit." Kang Fuzi smiled and said: "My name is promising, and I am promising today. And my name is not only relevant to myself, but also to others." The country also has a special relationship. It is said in "The Doctrine of the Mean" that 'one who is rich all over the world is the emperor', and my name is embedded with the two words 'you' and 'wei'." After hearing this, Zhang Xun thought for a while and took a photo Legs scolded: "Damn it, you named it with the word 'Youwei', do you still want to be emperor?" After hearing this, Master Kang hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I really don't dare!"
After Li Jingxi, who had been Prime Minister for just half a month, learned about the restoration, he hurriedly came to Zhang Xun and asked him why he did not inform him or arrange a position for himself. Zhang Xun smiled and said, "Don't blame me, old nine. In terms of qualifications, of course you have the hope of becoming Prime Minister. However, your future is ruined by not having braids. For your sake, it's really not worth it." Humph! I asked you to enter the palace some time ago, but you resisted and ran away. Do you think I don't know? If you want to split the fruit now, there is no way!
Other ghosts and monsters have been concocted: Lei Zhenchun, the minister of the Ministry of War, was the first to participate in the restoration. I heard that Zhang Xun made him the minister of the Ministry of War because his name was well chosen, "spring thunder is rolling and deafening"! This General Zhenwei, who was born in a small station, once served as the admiral of Jiangbei and the governor of the Seventh Town. He was an old restoration comrade during the Yuan Shikai period. This time, he was named Minister of the Ministry of War. Lei Zhenchun wore brand-new court clothes and rode a motorcycle to the palace to express his gratitude. After arriving at the palace gate, before the car stopped, Lei Zhenchun jumped out of the car. As a result, he fell four or five feet away and his forehead was bleeding. The guard hurriedly stepped forward to help him and asked: "Sir, does it hurt?" Lei Zhenchun said: "If you are happy, you don't feel the pain." After thanking him, Lei Zhenchun was rewarded with riding a horse in the Forbidden City.
This time, he no longer took the famous couplet he wrote to heart: "A poor family can't catch close relatives and friends with thousands of hooks; a rich person can't catch the bastard and grandson with thousands of guns." Instead, he put his heart and soul into it. The ground is his "bastard turtle grandson".
Not everyone is blind. After Zhang Xun was awarded the title of "Prince of Loyalty and Courage", his minions were elated, but a secretary under his command suddenly resigned. Zhang Xun was stunned and asked him why. The secretary said: "Since the general is a prince, he should call himself a slave to Xuantong, and we people have to call ourselves slaves to the general. Although I am humble, I don't want to be a slave, let alone a slave of a slave." Zhang Xun was furious and cursed: "You are not destined to be a slave yet! If you want to leave, just leave." After that, he immediately told the officer to get out.
In order to make the restoration prosperous, Zhang Xun wanted to perform a big show in the Jiangxi Guild Hall. Pu Dong, a descendant of the Manchu aristocratic family and one of the "Four Young Masters of the Republic of China" who was contemplating opera at home, received an order from the palace. He knew that this was probably a trick devised by the restoration madmen to flatter Zhang Xun. I wanted to reject it outright, but then I thought about it. It would be better to sing "A Thousand Loyal Kills" with a "miserable sight" to let those bird people know that I am not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Having made up his mind, he immediately consulted with Yuan Kewen, one of the "Four Young Masters of the Republic of China". Yuan Kewen doesn't even agree with his father being the emperor, let alone those clowns who are driving history back? He immediately said: "This play is good, it just brings out this resentment."
"The Killing of Thousands of Loyalists" is a famous tragedy. It tells the story of Zhu Di's capture of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jianwen's escape, and his transition from emperor to monk. Along the way, he saw loyal ministers being slaughtered, people suffering, lives devastated, and human beings
On that day, Pu Dong and Yuan Kewen sang miserably on stage, bursting into tears. Everyone in the audience looked at each other, Zhang Xun came excitedly and left angrily.
Later, Zhang Hanqing and two old friends gathered in Beijing. When they mentioned this interesting incident, they thought sarcastically: "Even actors don't like it, so why do these people still flock to it?"

Chapter 264 Incorporation
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Ji Jinchun automatically ignored Zhang Hanqing’s words of relief for the heavy siege of 28, and focused on the second half of his sentence: “Did Marshal Zhang really do this?”
Of course it is! This was his idea. Depending on Zhang Zuolin's temper, when he saw Feng Delin in such a miserable situation, he would have wanted to step on him a few more times. He had been bullied so hard this year! Even the generals in the Fengtian Governor's Mansion were also talking about it, and there were many who advocated beating up the drowned dog. Zhang Zuolin originally hated him for being too pushy, so he was relieved of the depression he had been feeling for the past few years and decided to tease him.
But Zhang Hanqing said to him: "Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. No matter whether Feng Delin lives or dies, his reputation has been ruined after this battle, and he can no longer be his father's opponent. But if Feng Delin can be born because of his father, he will completely gain the 28th Division's reputation." People's hearts! No matter what, we must protect what should be protected, not only to show our affection and righteousness, but also to make Feng die ashamed."
Zhang Zuolin naturally has the qualities of a hero, and he did not hesitate to send a message to Feng Delin: "It is dangerous to live in Beijing permanently. I will ride back and forth alone along the Great Wall by land quickly, and I will go out to meet him at the appropriate place, or so."
Riding back alone, he is the only commander, and Lao Feng does not want to lose that status no matter what. Of course, he was still lucky, so he listened to the people around him, led the guards to change into civilian clothes, and took the train eastward, preparing to stay in the Tianjin Concession, depending on the situation. Thinking about how I overestimated my abilities and competed with Zhang Zuolin for supremacy, and now that I am in such a state of decline, why should I look embarrassed again?
But his family members are still in Beizhen, and his eldest son is still in the army. If the war breaks out again, he has no doubt about Zhang Zuolin's thunderous methods. Feng Yong and Ji Jinchun are no match for him. Anyway, the 28th Division will fall into Zhang Zuolin's trap sooner or later, why not be a favor? So he called back and said: "After this incident, Feng is disheartened. He should retire to Tianjin and live in an apartment, and will no longer be involved in Jianghu affairs. I believe that my subordinates and family members can be properly settled and I will say no more."
This telegram is now handed from Zhang Hanqing to Ji Jinchun.
Ji Jinchun stared at the message for a long time, speechless. After all, he had followed Feng Delin for many years. Watching him go from being a powerful person to being a criminal, the gap was quite big. It's very scary to think that Master 28's life or death is uncertain, and his future path is uncertain.
"Now that Commander Feng has made a decision, I will not have any more setbacks. After returning, I will arrange for the entire division to lay down their weapons. I only ask the young marshal to speak in front of the commander so that the soldiers of the 28th Division can be properly placed."
Zhang Hanqing's heart returned to his stomach. Being able to completely subdue the 28th Division is equivalent to a doubling of strength - the 28th Division is a standard Beiyang strong army. The soldiers are well-equipped and have experienced many battles. The most important thing is that it has a standard artillery regiment, which Zhang Zuolin dreamed of.
"Uncle Ji Shi, please don't say that. My father told me that he has always admired Uncle Shi's talents. If it weren't for Uncle Shi's presence, it would be difficult for Feng Shibo to achieve what he has today. The grudge between my father and Feng Shibo will not affect his future. The 28th Division. If someone in the army is unwilling to follow my father, Xueliang can express his position here and let them come and go freely! Even brother Feng Yong, I will let my father arrange it properly. But Uncle Ji Shi is the Dinghai Shenzhen of the 28th Division. , this position of teacher belongs to you. My father said that we are all from the same lineage outside the customs. We should eliminate prejudices and suspicions and join hands to create glory!"
When Hu Chuang Hai blew, he was fully convinced and even resigned from the position of division commander.
Everything must be based on the overall situation. From the fact that Ji Jinchun did not meet with the closer Sun Liechen but chose to find himself, it seems that he still has a mental burden to join Zhang Zuolin. Uncle Sun is recognized as his father's confidant. At this moment, if we can stabilize Ji Jinchun, we have stabilized the 28th Division.
So Ji Jinchun went back to Feng Yong to return his orders. Of course, he would not say that he was promised to take his father's place instead. That would be considered by Feng as a seller seeking glory. He only relayed Zhang Hanqing's meaning and said that everything was based on Feng Yong's order.
What else can Feng Yong say? He has little experience in the army, so he doesn't have much say. The key is that in this situation, even gods are helpless. Since the surrender of the 28th Division was a foregone conclusion, he would not make any unnecessary fights, but he did not want to face the enemy who had dug out his "job". He said to Ji Jinchun: "Since Zhang Hanqing has the power to 'let him come and go freely' He said that my nephew also has a merciless request. He wants to go to Beijing to find some connections and help relieve his father's guilt. The 28th Division is my father's life-long effort and I can rest assured that it will be handed over to Uncle Ji."
Feng Yong left Beizhen alone and took the train to Beijing. Zhang Hanqing did not break his promise and sent someone to escort him out of Shanhaiguan.
Ji Jinchun convened a meeting of senior military officers to discuss the situation, and finally decided unanimously to obey Zhang Zuolin's dispatch. So the entire division, led by the old brigade commander Ji Jinchun, turned against the enemy without firing a single bullet. In this way, Feng Delin's originally good ally Jilin Governor Meng Enyuan was in a wrong situation.Wisely, I drew a line with him and no longer dared to have any form of moral support for the Restoration.
Feng Delin, the strongman outside the Pass, finally bowed his head. Zhang Zuolin was full of confidence. He would take the opportunity to take over power and bring the 28th Division under his command. According to the usual mature method, he planned to disperse the entire division and reorganize it. This was Lao and Xiao Zhang's tried and tested method. If this really happens, it is estimated that these 28th Division will definitely have the surname Zhang before long.
"However, this made the people within the 28th Division, who were originally uneasy, panicky and the military morale unstable. The life or death of the old officer was uncertain, and the eldest son was traveling away from home. How was Zhang Zuolin going to treat the 28th Division? If he doesn't think so, the best way out for the brothers is to go up the mountain and get their beards done!
Zhang Hanqing was sensitively aware of this bad sign after visiting several places. Brigadier Ji Jinchun who accompanied him was also worried: the division commander Feng Delin and another brigade commander Zhang Haipeng were both arrested. He is now the highest-ranking officer of the 28th Division. If a mutiny occurs, he will die without retribution.
Of course, facing Zhang Zuolin, who took over the troops as a victor, he did not dare to have any objections. He could only work hard to cooperate with Zhang Zuolin's ideas, persuade all troops to obey orders, and strive to make the recruitment smooth. Zhang Zuolin also admired his work.
However, facing the young marshal whom he was relatively familiar with, Ji Jinchun still rarely expressed his opinion: "Young marshal, the original disagreement between Feng Shuai and Zhang Marshal was a dispute between the two of them. The vast majority of the officers and soldiers of the 28th Division still They are just following orders. Now that Feng Shuai is not here, they are afraid of being disrupted. All kinds of rumors are spreading, and I am worried that the morale of the army is unstable. The 27th and 28th Divisions are the strongest troops outside the Pass, and they are responsible for defending against the Japanese. If this important task is not properly settled, we will all be national sinners!"
Regarding this last sentence, Zhang Hanqing had to think twice. To have this kind of heart and to be able to see so far is a patriotic and capable general who can be trusted.
Under this circumstance, Zhang Hanqing decisively gave up on major adaptations, and tried his best to dissuade Zhang Zuolin from prioritizing stability. He recommended Ji Jinchun, the former brigade commander of the 28th Division, to be promoted to division commander to take over Feng Delin's position. He also praised him: "He has a calm temperament." He is well versed in military affairs, has a strong view of the overall situation, and is highly regarded by people." For Feng Delin's eldest son, Feng Yong, Zhang Hanqing suggested that he be given the post of counselor of the Governor's Office and director of the Air Force Preparatory Department.
Zhang Zuoxiang also advised Zhang Zuolin: "Commander, the best plan now is to stabilize the morale of the army. Although Feng Delin committed a crime, he is still very influential in the 28th Division and in Fengtian. I'm afraid if he is forced to go there, It is not good for adaptation and stability." Although he was very tempted by the position of division commander, his reason told him, "If you don't plan for the future, you can't plan for a while; if you don't plan for the overall situation, you can't plan for a region." This is incompatible with the long-term development of the Fengxian. Compared with personal gain and loss, it is small.
Zhang Zuolin originally wanted Zhang Zuoxiang, who had been with him for many years, to be the new commander of the 28th Division. Firstly, he was relieved, and secondly, Zhang Zuoxiang's qualifications were no worse than Sun Liechen. Now not only Sun Liechen is the division commander, but also the rising star Han Linchun is in charge of his own role. Zhang Zuoxiang is now The highest ranking person in the army has only been a brigade commander. Although he was promoted to chief of staff of the Governor's Mansion not long ago, I feel sorry for him.
Seeing that Zhang Zuoxiang could think about the overall situation in this way, Zhang Zuolin was also moved: "I am very grateful that I can think like this, but I have wronged you again this time."
Zhang Zuoxiang smiled openly: "It doesn't matter who is wronged or not, as long as everyone can mobilize Fengjun."
My son and close confidants have said so, and this shady adaptation basically remains on paper. Because another brigade commander, Zhang Haipeng, was detained at the same time, after Ji Jinchun took office, the two vacant brigade commanders' positions were left to Zhang Zuolin, who designated two regiment commanders to take over. Following the example of other troops in Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin also raised the rank of chief of staff to the same level as the brigade commander, creating a situation where the troika restricted each other. Zhang Zuolin promoted all three of them to major generals through channels and gained their allegiance.
"Other than that, the 28th Division had little movement. Zhang Zuolin even announced that Feng Delin's matter was a personal act and the result was not public, so the matter did not affect others. In addition, he also paid the salaries of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers one month in advance to win over people's hearts.
Regarding Zhang Hanqing’s proposal to promote Feng Yong, everyone above and below was all watching the eldest son’s arrangement. The latest position Zhang Hanqing gave him in the same year was counselor of the Military Governor's Office and director of the Air Force Preparatory Department, with the military rank of colonel.
Lao Zhang has no objection to this suggestion: the counselor of the Governor's Office is a sinecure. As for the director of the Air Force Preparatory Department, who knows what? Xiao Liuzi has many tricks, just let him go. Feng Yong was originally just a staff officer in the army, but now he has been promoted to a higher rank under his former enemy. I wonder what his mentality will be like now that he knows this.
??????????????????????? However, the 28th Division is still in charge of the army, the old man Ji Jinchun, and the young master has been properly accommodated, so all kinds of rumors gradually died down. Ji Jinchun also lived up to Zhang Hanqing's knowledge of people and promotion, and actively cooperated with Lao and Xiao Zhang's actions. In addition, Feng Yong was also grateful to Zhang Hanqing for his assistance and his commitment to his word. He later worked hard to make outstanding contributions to the development of the Northeast Air Force during his tenure. Of course, Zhang Hanqing knew people well and gave him considerable help in developing his talents. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Han Qing's kindness in helping and keeping his word, and his subsequent efforts in making outstanding contributions to the development of the Northeast Air Force during his tenure.

Chapter 270 Initial Experience in Administrative Management (Part 2)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
No matter what era, there are always bad apples in the government, it depends on whether the governing bodies dare to expose their own scars and cut out the cancer. Regarding the issue of civil servant corruption, Zhang Hanqing believes that a high-pressure policy is not applicable and that high salary to maintain integrity is a reasonable way. Following the practices of later countries and Singapore, the salary of civil servants is kept at a level above the average social income, but it cannot exceed too much. The main advantage is reflected in the "incorruptible pension". Law-abiding civil servants, regardless of their final rank, will receive a substantial sum of money after retirement to comfort the vast majority of ordinary government workers who have no chance to move to higher positions throughout their lives.
In fact, the income of government workers can be clearly told to the public, and there is no need to hide it. In fact, what ordinary people in later generations criticized about government affairs was not that they received more wages, bigger houses, and better benefits, but that they had opaque income, redundant staff, and inaction. The cadre hierarchy should only be distinguished by the monetary method of salary. However, in later generations of China, in addition to differences in salary, cadres of different levels were also differentiated in many aspects such as welfare housing allocation, medical services, and a dual-track pension system. Therefore, no matter how the government reforms administrative personnel, it will always attract a lot of criticism on the Internet. This is the truth, but it is not serious.
Since there is no distinction between high and low jobs, why are civil servants’ pensions, housing provident funds and corporate personnel on separate lines? Would it be easier to settle scores between the two systems? Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality. It’s not about more money or lack of money, but about unfairness. The officials who don’t believe in future generations can’t see or understand it. They are just either those with vested interests, or they are too big to lose. They will wait until it becomes a trend. There is great resistance to reform!
Since you have the opportunity, design a good rule from the beginning.
It’s easy to cure if you don’t do anything. If you have an ugly face and find it difficult to get in and get things done, it is because the country has spoiled you. If you don't take the initiative or act to make things difficult for you, but if you encounter such civil servants, just go directly to the Discipline Inspection Commission or the "Supervision Bureau" under the leadership of the top government official to make a complaint. Once the facts are true, I will give you the first warning, and you will be fired from public office on the spot again. Will you be stripped of your skin to see if you have one more eye than Lord Ma or something? As soon as this "Government Staff Discipline Regulations" was promulgated, it was refreshing.
Zhang Hanqing has designed various systems to prevent public servants from abusing their power, so will it be safe if I don’t do anything? No! Failure to act is also a dereliction of duty! This is a typical "official" style, which is especially disliked by Zhang Hanqing, even more unpopular than corruption. Corruption is easy to detect, but inaction is difficult to prevent. what to do? Easy to handle! Don't want to do anything? Then clear out the civil service! If a major accident is caused by inaction, a new crime of "neglect of duty" will be added.
These are still self-examination and self-correction. Is there an agency that restrains the government? Parliament. Although the parliament will be controlled by the party in the future, it should have great binding force on the government. Otherwise, is the name of the legislative body just a decoration? The appointment and dismissal of top officials in government agencies requires a secret vote, and officials must report to the parliament every year. For major events, the parliament has the right to require responsible officials to come to the parliament for questioning. Those who fail to pass the report or inquiry will not be promoted within two years; those who fail twice will be transferred or demoted. All this is written into the "Organizational Measures of Xinmin County Council".
Afraid of trouble and staring? Aren’t you afraid that you don’t want to be an official? There are still few people in China who want to be an official? Have you not seen that the national examination team is growing year by year, and the proportion of national recruitment is very high. China has never been short of people who want to be officials!
The most important constraint is the outgoing audit system. The "Independent Commission Against Corruption" was newly established in Xinmin County, with the county magistrate concurrently serving as the director, and its subordinate units have an audit bureau. Whenever the top leaders of the county's townships, bureaus and offices leave their posts, they must undergo financial audits.
In addition, cadres at the deputy section level and above must declare their property, and must explain in detail the reasons for the increase in property when reporting to the parliament every year. Once there is significant property and income from unknown sources that are intentionally concealed, the person will be charged with the same crime as corruption. In addition, immediate family members who have foreign nationality are not allowed to hold official positions and will not be promoted from now on. Failure to report to the organization in advance will result in direct expulsion of party members from the party and immediate removal of officials! Even his family doesn't want to be patriotic, so you can only imagine what happened to this official! Zhang Hanqing speculated whether he would consider setting up a "naked official crime" in the future.
The biggest restriction on administrative officials is actually a system similar to the separation of military and political affairs and the separation of military and police, which is commonly known as the separation of powers. Only when administrative officials are always under the supervision of another group of organizations that are completely beyond their control can administrative power be locked in a cage. This is also Zhang Hanqing's original intention to design a brand-new judicial system.
The area of ??Public Security, Prosecution and Justice has always been a major headache for China. In the area of ??public security alone, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been successively the Director of Public Security, the Director of Public Security and Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, the Director of Public Security and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Standing Committee Member, the Director of Public Security and Government |Exploration in the five stages of deputy position, public security director, deputy position and standing committee member. The power of the public security bureau is getting bigger and bigger, which is also the need for building a legal country.
However, if the Public Security Bureau is dominated by one family, it will lose the original intention of judicial restraint. Zhang Hanqing still believes that the names of the National Police Agency, Police Station, etc. are more in line with the original intention of its establishment. It should be an enforcement unit and should not have any responsibility beyond law enforcement. power beyond power. The ability to enforce the law depends on the court's decision, and questions about behavior will be explained by the Bureau of Justice. In this way, things have been done, and the possible adverse effects caused by the violent attributes are also small.
In order to cultivate the spirit of judicial independence, Zhang Hanqing does not intend to establish a full-time political and legal committee secretary, but only a full-time deputy secretary of the party committee to contact him. The so-called contact means that matters and communication that implement the spirit of the party will be responsible for him. However, we have no right to interfere with the specific business scope. Let’s see if this will be the case for future senior management. In this way, the Public Security Bureau and the Judiciary Department will not break away from the leadership of the party, but can maintain their independence to the greatest extent.
In order to prevent administrative interference, Zhang Hanqing also conceived a judge system: in the future, nine-member judicial committees will be set up according to the central government, provinces, cities, and counties to manage the courts. The committees will be composed of judges elected by the same level, and the committee will designate one person as the judge. Dean, responsible for administrative affairs. Judges may not be dismissed unless they are found to have violated criminal law or are deemed unable to perform their duties as judges by the superior judicial committee, and they have a lifelong tenure.
Regarding the election system of judges, Zhang Hanqing conducted a relatively meaningful practice by referring to the Western, mainly American, later systems and combining them with Chinese tradition.
First of all, the selection of judges is composed of lawyers, law professors, and outstanding assistant judges with certain qualifications. Their professional qualifications and abilities are assessed by the Bureau of Justice and submitted to the county assembly for a vote. Once passed, the judge will have a lifelong tenure and cannot be dismissed without being impeached by the superior or the judicial committee at the same level and approved by the parliament at the same level to ensure the independence of the judge.
After a vote by all judges, a 9-member Judicial Committee will be formed internally to perform the functions of managing the court. Among them, the person with the most seniority usually serves as the chief judge and concurrently serves as the president. The president of the court only has an administrative position and is responsible for the administrative affairs of the unit, but he is not qualified to interfere with the specific business of other judges because he cannot decide whether other judges will stay or leave.
In order to prevent those who know the law from violating the law, the "Regulations on Restraint of Judges", which later became the "Judges Law", severely restricted such black sheep: if a judge engages in self-serving malpractice or commits suicide in the trial of a case, resulting in an unjust, false or wrongful conviction, he shall be punished with the same crime; All cases that are tried and closed will be kept retrospectively for life. In one sentence, "Let the judge judge, and the judge will be responsible."
The salary of a judge is the same as that of a deputy county magistrate at the same level. In the future, there will be an opportunity to decouple the level of judges from the administrative level and formulate their own level. At this stage, the impartiality of judges is announced in the form of articles, and various institutional constraints are used to make judges one of the most respected professions in the whole society. In the future, "lawyers, accountants, doctors, etc." will also be formed across the country. "The three-division system was in line with later advanced Western countries.
The prosecutor system is still under consideration. China’s judicial problem does not lie in the number of restrictions or supervision agencies, but in whether the implementation of “enforcement must be strict and violations must be prosecuted” is sufficient.
Zhang Hanqing’s many practices and the introduction of a series of rules and regulations are dizzying. Once these systems have been put into practice, they have been proven to be in line with national conditions, meet needs, smooth in organization, and efficient in operation. In particular, the establishment of the People's Party, its promotion of "discipline centralism" and its independent judicial system, make people have to admire the young commander's genius design.
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing announced that this kind of reorganization of the army would be limited to the First Division and the Guard Division, and other Fengtian armies would not be involved. This made some people in the military circles who were watching heaving a sigh of relief. As support, on the day when the First Central Committee of the People's Party held a meeting, senior military and political officials from the Fengtian Governor's Office and the former 27th Division showed up to praise them. Three veterans of the Fengtian faction, Zhang Zuolin, Sun Liechen, and Zhang Zuoxiang, readily accepted the offer. The titles of Honorary Chairman and Vice Chairman of the People's Party presented by Zhang Hanqing.
In order to give his son a platform, Zhang Zuolin also promised that if the pilot in the Xinminhe Guard Brigade was successful, he would definitely implement it in Fengtian if he had the opportunity. For a time, major and small newspapers in Fengtian rushed to report on this grand event. No matter what the purpose, all Fengtian people were proud to be elected as members of the People's Party.
Because of the Marshal's statement, Liu Shangqing and Mo Dehui, who had a good relationship with Zhang Hanqing, decided to join the People's Party. This allowed Governor Wang Yongjiang, who was greatly favored by the Marshal, to put down his burdens and apply to join the People's Party as governor. Let Fengtian's atmosphere change. People with lofty ideals, intellectuals, and confused young people all saw the light, thinking about Zhang Hanqing's judgment and practice of China's future direction in the program, and worked hard to join the party.

Yes, Zhang Hanqing was here just now, having a fruitful dialogue with the heads of the Tianjin Municipal Committee branches of the People’s Party. Although disaster relief is important, it does not require him to put aside his busy work to personally provide disaster relief. China will be unified under a strong government one day later. China will have more chances of encountering such disaster victims. Zhang Hanqing has his own discretion whether a family should cry or a village should cry.
But the disaster still needs to be rescued. Prior to this, the People's Party had developed some activists in Tianjin, and Zhang Hanqing also took this opportunity to explain the People's Party's work in Tianjin to them.
Tianjin plays an important role in the north, not only because of its important geographical location but also its economic foundation. Since many officials from the Republic of China came here to settle down after resigning or losing power, the large amount of property they brought with them also added vitality to the economic operation of this city. Moreover, Tianjin is also the only place where the Fengtian line will go in and out of Beijing in the future. The large stations on the Beijing-Fenghuang line can be laid out in advance, which is very conducive to future work.
The ideal of "three dishes of cooking" has great appeal in the hearts of poor people. Otherwise, it would be impossible to understand the farmers' yearning for land equalization and tax reduction. Throughout the history of Chinese dynasties, almost every dynasty change was due to the rebellion of farmers.
The agitation of the People's Party members among the disaster victims has indeed made some people accept the party's views. They transformed from impoverished victims into motivated activists. They made outstanding contributions in promoting the victims to immigrate to the Northeast. Some of them performed particularly well and even joined the party.
In order to facilitate the work of the People's Party in Tianjin, Zhang Hanqing also invested in buying a house, which later became Zhang Hanqing's former residence in Tianjin and became a famous scene in Tianjin. If he had known that he would be so famous in the future, he would still have built a bigger house. If he demolished it in the future, he would be able to give his children an extra house, right? Of course Zhang Hanqing would not say that. Regarding great men, it is better for the world to promote the noble side.
There are many opportunities in Tianjin. It can be used as a place to stay, and it is also the location of the Tianjin Party Headquarters of the People’s Party.
Qian Xuantong looked at the ridiculously young marshal in front of him with confusion and surprise: This is the author who can write such a profound and sincere "I Love This Land" and can sing the unique "My Love". The author of "Home in the Northeast", a young marshal with both civil and military skills who can make such a big splash in Fengtian?
In Qian Xuantong's heart, poetry and music were important matters, but Zhang Hanqing's civil and military skills in Fengtian were inferior. They were nothing more than warlords and showed nothing.
The literati of the Republic of China were all noble. Of course, they also had the ability to be noble. If you don’t have desires, you will be strong. Unlike many times, some shameless scholars are reduced to political appendages. Think about it: during the Republic of China, there were many great masters and there were so many famous literary works. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a huge contrast. It was not until Zhang Hanqing time travel that there was finally a Nobel Prize winner in literature - although the fairness of the Nobel Prize deserves a lot of praise. We will discuss this in a special book, but it is true that there were no masters after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Qian Xuantong was finally moved by Zhang Hanqing. He explained his intention concisely and looked forward to Zhang Hanqing's reaction. Promoting new culture is of course one of his main tasks, but he also has an idea to carry out Chinese language reform. This is his research project, and it can be regarded as private goods. He didn't expect the young marshal to give him any great support. He just wanted to use him to promote the new culture and promote the influence of the new culture. After all, the other party came from the barrel of a gun, and is much more interested in understanding the function of the barrel of a gun than some mysterious and mysterious new culture.
However, what surprised him was that Zhang Hanqing was far more enthusiastic about the reform of Chinese characters and the promotion of modern Chinese than he imagined. Not only that, he also put forward many new ideas that were incredible but seemed very relevant after thinking about them deeply. His idea that primary school students should learn Chinese Pinyin is not only consistent with the plan he has been thinking about for many years, but also improves many difficulties and key points in implementation. Initial consonants, finals, rising tones, falling tones, etc. It is also recommended that the Mandarin program based on northern dialect and Beijing accent is also involved, and it is very feasible!
Haha, can it not be done? Zhang Hanqing was a good student who received good "Chinese Pinyin education". The plan that was formed through the efforts of countless people in later generations is certainly very feasible!
This made Qian Xuantong look at him with admiration. Is this a suggestion from a brave warrior who leads troops in a war? I'm afraid even professors in regular universities would be hard-pressed to come up with such novel ideas, right? It is true that a general who spent his entire life in the military could write poetry, but it is rare in the world for a general to study Chinese education to this extent!
Not only that, the young marshal also mentioned that in two months, the above-mentioned Chinese language reform will begin to be promoted in Fengtian Provincial City and other qualified areas. Of course, Zhang Hanqing also trained a small group of like-minded people, mainly future teachers from Fengtian Higher Normal University. Of course, there are Chinese characters such as Qian Xuantong.Everyone's help would be great. So, by the way, Zhang Hanqing invited Qian Xuantong to Fengtian to guide the reform pilot of the education plan.
Qian Xuantong was very excited to have a test field to verify his research.
What makes him even more excited is that Zhang Dashuai, who controls Heilongjiang and Fengtian, has decided to take the lead in converting primary school textbooks in these two provinces to vernacular. This is even more shocking than the above news.
It turned out that Zhang Zuolin, who was illiterate, was deeply distressed by the obscure and difficult ancient texts in official documents. First, it was difficult to understand, and he had to have someone read it out and translate it to him. If the person was not hired properly, it would be easy to make mistakes; secondly, it seemed that Isn't this handsome guy extremely incompetent? Zhang Hanqing, who was deeply influenced by modern Chinese, also had a deep aversion to reading classical Chinese. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Hanqing proposed promoting vernacular Chinese, Zhang Zuolin applauded.
When he made a request to the Ministry of Education of the Beiyang Government, it really shocked the government and the public, and also made a wave of strong generals of the New Culture Movement feel that people's hearts were not old, and only Qian Xuantong came to know the situation nearby. With his dignity as the governor of a province, he did not recruit troops, but spent a lot of effort on educational reforms, which really surprised ordinary people. However, the New Culture Movement had just emerged, but it had not yet reached the point where it was fully realized. Lao Zhang’s pioneering move was naturally dismissed. In the official history, it was not until 1920 that the Ministry of Education of the Beiyang Government ordered primary school textbooks to use vernacular Chinese. This is a story later. .
However, due to the dispute between the government and the Yuan, under the pretext of autonomy, Zhang Zuolin ignored the central government's decision and still decided to maintain the original proposal. This will boost the morale of the "athletes" who were slapped because of the incident. Qian Xuantong is convinced. At the same time, he also became warm to the two military generals, father and son, and regarded them as comrades. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 280 The Flag of the New Culture Movement (Part 2)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The two met very late. The key is that Zhang Hanqing understands the self-esteem of literati. In their chats, there is no lack of respect for literati and elevating the status of literature. Of course, he himself has several brushes. After all, he has nearly a hundred years of literary development history as a reference.
The two were able to talk about entering Hong Kong, and Qian Xuantong couldn't help but put his theory on abolishing Chinese characters on the table. Times have changed, and I wonder if the young marshal will still stick to his ideas.
"Zhang Hanqing can't laugh or cry, he is really a tough guy. Isn't it enough that he was beaten once before?"
Thinking about it, I can’t completely blame him. As conscientious intellectuals of this era, most of them are passionate about answers that may solve the root causes of poverty and weakness in China. The Chinese first learned from the West and engaged in the "Westernization Movement"; then after the rise of Japan just across the corner, China began to learn from the East. A large number of historical celebrities including Lu Xun, Cai E, Jiang Baili, Chiang Kai-shek, etc. Be a pioneer.
Since foreigners are so powerful, public opinion at that time devalued Chinese things as useless, including Chinese characters and Chinese characters. The national origin of the Chinese language has been fiercely contested: promoting Mandarin based on Cantonese with one more sound instead of the Beijing dialect we often speak. Historically, the National Congress of the Republic of China, with Cantonese as the majority, almost made it a Reality, let our descendants learn the pronunciation "Lei Hao, Hen" and become the standard pronunciation. It was Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the founding father, who mediated to balance the feelings of northerners and chose Beijing dialect by one vote. From this point of view, Sun Yat-sen is worthy of being called the founding father. At least he did not let the minority Language becomes the public.
Regarding Chinese characters, many people think that they are no longer in line with the development of the times. A group of Chinese character reformers headed by Qian Xuantong believed that Chinese characters were difficult to recognize, remember, and write, which was not conducive to the popularization of education, the development of Chinese literature, and the dissemination of scientific and technological knowledge. They advocated the abolition of square Chinese characters and simply replaced them with pinyin.
After Mr. Zhang Taiyan creatively proposed Zhuyin (which was still used in Taiwan before time travel), his disciple Qian Xuantong has now proposed Pinyin, which is enough for Chinese people to learn Chinese.
Seeing that Zhang Hanqing knew even these trivial details, Qian Xuantong expressed his great admiration. Youdao is as separated as a mountain. Zhang Hanqing can be a "martial man", Jier has dabbled in literature, and he can have such attainments in the humble Mandarin. This is definitely not explained by the title of Young Marshal alone. of.
Although literati are accustomed to looking down upon each other, they also admire those who truly study knowledge and those who are equally knowledgeable. However, literati have character. No matter how much Qian Xuantong admired Zhang Hanqing, he was still very optimistic about his prospects of pinyinizing Chinese characters. Before that, he and his teacher had been advocates for the abolition of Chinese characters.
This is a bit overkill, but it is very marketable, and Zhang Hanqing feels that he needs to give them a clear opinion. He wouldn't argue with Qian Xuantong - no matter how reasonable he was, he couldn't argue with a great scholar like him who had been immersed in writing for many years. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't say much. He just picked up a pen and wrote a line on the paper: "This thing has such a profound impact. Let's sit down at home after breakfast tomorrow and talk about it."
Qian Xuantong understood it with just one glance. He thought Zhang Hanqing was busy with official duties, but he stood up and left and said, "This way I won't disturb the Young Marshal. We will meet again tomorrow." He said this to the Young Marshal from the bottom of his heart.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Hanqing laughed and pulled his arm and said, "We had a great conversation, why are you leaving?"
Qian Xuantong is confused. Aren’t you going to see off guests? He pointed at Zhang Hanqing's note in confusion, but at this moment he saw Zhang Hanqing also pointed at the note and said, "Professor Qian, did you see clearly?"
Qian Xuantong took another look and found that there was nothing wrong with it. Upon closer inspection, I realized that Zhang Hanqing had written the two words in the reverse order: "influence too" became "influence too much", and "breakfast" became "breakfast", but it did not affect his judgment. ah.
At this time, Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "Professor Qian, look, I wrote a sentence. You can understand the main idea just by taking a glance. Even two mistakes do not affect your judgment. Do you think pinyin can achieve this effect?" ?"
"This sentence awoke the dreamer, and it turned out that the young marshal used this method to refute his own point of view. However, what a good refutation! One example is worth a thousand words and eloquence. He admired Zhang Hanqing's wit!
Then Zhang Hanqing said: "Chinese characters are the root of the Chinese people. As long as a Chinese person knows about 2,000 Chinese characters, he can read almost all books, which is impossible in any language. This is very important for the current popularization Literacy education is particularly important in China.
Pinyin, which separates the associative properties of Chinese characters, can only be used as a representation and not as an aid to learning Chinese characters. Otherwise, it will become a stupid language like English. You see there are so many words in English, are you still confused?New words are constantly being produced, trying to give a name to everything in the world. The universe is infinite and the English vocabulary is infinite! It is simply impossible to understand by analogy like in Chinese. If we use pinyin instead of Chinese characters, it will be a considerable burden for the vast majority of people in our country who are still illiterate to become illiterate! "
Qian Xuantong agreed with this. Only then did he realize that his academic insights were not enough to compare with the young marshal's grand political vision. This is called real Chinese research, and it is thoroughly studied.
In this small thatched shed, Zhang Hanqing was barefoot and chatting with Qian Xuantong, not caring about his dignity as a young commander. Sure enough, "If the mountain is not high, there will be immortals, and there will be fame; if the water is not deep, if there are dragons, there will be spirit." Although it was a humble house, because of Zhang Hanqing's vision and the demeanor of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Qian Xuantong's admiration for Zhang Hanqing was like the endless waves of a river
As an influential cultural figure in this period, Qian Xuantong’s admiration for Zhang Hanqing was brought to the Peking University campus. How can the young marshal, a warrior, care so much about Chinese studies? How can the proud men in the ivory tower feel embarrassed? Students can only devote themselves to the tide of promoting Chinese studies with fuller enthusiasm. Of course, it is inevitable to go to Fengtian or the Northeast to preach and teach and solve doubts when needed. This is a story later.
Whenever we talk about the New Culture Movement in history, we cannot avoid mentioning this public case. Zhang Hanqing's "I Love This Land" is considered the originator of new poetry, and his "My Home is in the Northeast" is also regarded as the pioneer of modern rap.
Scholars who studied the history of modern literature later wanted to use him as the banner of the New Culture Movement. Zhang Hanqing modestly expressed his disapproval and later instructed to highlight the role of writers. But how can literary historians with a sense of historical responsibility give up their principles so easily? The young marshal undoubtedly became the pioneer of the vernacular movement and will go down in history forever. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 285 The one who owes money is indeed the uncle (Part 2)
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Neshinsky was stunned, Zhang Zuolin was stunned.
"I can understand Mr. Marshal's difficulties. Maybe the early repayment of the loan has disrupted your plan financially. So in order to express our apologies, I personally decide to lower the interest payable by another ten percentage points! I think if the headquarters knew that The headquarters will forgive my boldness as a result of Shuai and Shaoshuai’s support for our bank.”
Seeing Zhang Hanqing’s insistence, Neshinsky made some concessions. According to his plan, Lao Xiao Zhang will be able to save 40% of the interest of the 940,000 rubles originally scheduled to be repaid. This is a very successful negotiation. In order to obtain these loans, Zhang Hanqing secretly gave the other party some commission. Now, at his insistence, these commissions are far from making up for the losses caused by the interest discount.
So even though Zhang Hanqing is his son, Lao Zhang’s admiration for him is still like a torrential river
But Zhang Hanqing still disagreed.
"Mr. Neshinsky, as you mentioned, Fengtian Finance has no plan to repay the loan early, so you may be disappointed. The earliest loan of 2 million rubles is less than 20 days away from repayment. I promise to repay the principal and interest on time and in full, please rest assured! However, it will be difficult to repay the loan in advance."
"In this way, I will take another step back. If it is difficult to repay all in advance, we can do it partially In short, everything is easy to discuss. Mr. Marshal, you can't let your old friend down!" Neshinsky took another step back. In short, it is The less you lose, the less you lose.
Now even Zhang Zuolin can tell that it’s not a good deal to rush things. Neshinsky must be a little naughty if he wants to repay the loan in advance so enthusiastically. Is it possible that Xiao Liuzi’s previous assertion really happened, and that some huge changes really happened in their country? Wow, I found a treasure!
Zhang Hanqing still replied unhurriedly: "This is a big matter and involves too many departments. I'm sorry that I can't agree to it at the moment."
Neshinsky has already jumped: "This loan is of great importance to the development of our bank in Guanzhong! So no matter what, the commander-in-chief and the young commander-in-chief must find a way. I will take a step back, even if I suspend the payment of interest!"
The discount was so huge all of a sudden that even Zhang Zuolin was thinking about how to refuse it. Even the dullest person knows that there must be a story here.
"This is a bit overwhelming" Zhang Hanqing was not moved by the temptation.
"Then it's okay to repay part of it in advance, right? If the commander-in-chief and the young commander-in-chief can help me this time, I will work hard to facilitate the production line of the 75mm mountain gun expected by the commander-in-chief to be settled in Fengtian!" Neshinsky mainly plays the tragedy card and the profit card. The 75mm gun was Fengjun's weakness and Zhang Zuolin's worry. In order to finalize the loan, he would say anything.
"If it weren't for the financial difficulties, how could I refuse this good idea?" Zhang Hanqing shook his head in embarrassment: "I really can't do it, please come back, Mr. Neshinsky!" Compared with the illusory cannon, the cannon in front of him is Millions of wealth at your fingertips is real. At the beginning of the October Revolution, all agreements and plans turned out to be fake.
Neshinsky left sadly. He secretly swore in his heart that as long as these loans were repaid safely, he would never lend even a penny to the father and son named Zhang!
After he left, Zhang Zuolin asked Zhang Hanqing eagerly: "Xiao Liuzi, last time you estimated that there was some kind of civil strife in Lao|Maozi's country, it seems that it is true?"
"It's true!" Zhang Hanqing could remember this great day with just a few calculations - the Russian October Revolution in November of the Gregorian calendar was about to begin.
"So", Lao Zhang looked at his son: "Will it happen before our first loan matures?" Now Lao Zhang has begun to worry about gains and losses, because he has the idea of ??eating up the entire loan.
"It shouldn't be that soon, but it won't be too late for a few days." Zhang Hanqing said after careful consideration. Since the October Revolution fell on the Russian calendar, he couldn't remember which day it corresponded to in the Gregorian calendar, but it was definitely early November.
"The 2 million will be on hold when it expires" Lao Zhang felt very sad about the money that might be safely in his pocket.
"It doesn't matter. If you don't pay it back when it's due, you're just paying a late fee. It's not like you can't afford it!" Zhang Hanqing said easily. When he signed the agreement, Neshinsky definitely wouldn't have expected this to happen, because the interest rate was very high. He even secretly hoped that the Zhangs and his son would not be able to pay back the money and it would continue to snowball, so they only agreed on a late payment fee. Good thing now, Zhang Hanqing will make full use of this contract to delay the date of loan repayment until after the revolution!
The father and son laughed evilly.
On the day when the first loan was due, Neshinsky came to ask for the debt early in the morning. After hearing the news, Zhang Zuolin asked Zhang Hanqing to receive him on the pretext of being busy with official duties. Although Lao Zhang was born with a beard, he was very trustworthy. He was embarrassed to borrow money and not repay it.?It's better for Xiao Liuzi to come forward. In his mind, the eldest son was both smart and shameless, and the Russians were no match for him.
Neshinsky has a nice smile. He doesn’t look like a blood-sucking banker at all, but an excellent public relations gentleman. As soon as he saw Zhang Hanqing, he laughed loudly and said: "Young Master looks very good today, which makes me confident about the smooth performance of the contract in the future!"
Do you have confidence? You have it, but I don’t. Although Zhang Hanqing seemed to have a clear mind, he still gave him a smile from the bottom of his heart: "Old friend is here, please sit down, please take a seat. Come here, serve tea, serve fragrant tea!"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The way the Marshal's Mansion treats guests is beyond praise, they are extremely polite.
"Young Marshal, your time is precious, so I will keep the story short. Last time you said that you were not prepared to repay the loan early and that you must adhere to the spirit of the contract. I actually admire it very much. There is a Chinese idiom called 'a promise of a thousand gold'. Young Marshal is not at all in this regard. Don't give in too much. This visit is to discuss how to fulfill the contract."
He put on a high hat when he came up. As the saying goes, when you treat others politely, you must ask for something. It seems that he is determined to get this loan.
"Mr. Neshinsky, you are here at the right time. Originally, my father had already prepared a debt of 2 million yuan and interest, but just yesterday, we received an order from the central government to ask the Fengjun to go south to attack the National Army. What do you think? , war requires money. As the saying goes, before the troops are moved, food and grass go first. This happened suddenly, and there was no other way. My father could only divert the money to military expenses first
??——Don't worry, doesn't Daosheng Bank want to open a branch in Guan Nei? Your dedication can be seen by the Central Committee. A few kind words from my father will definitely be of great help to Daosheng Bank's business expansion in Guan. Of course, my father will bear all the losses caused to you and will resolutely act in accordance with the terms agreed in the contract. Please rest assured! You also said that we Chinese are very particular about keeping a promise and will never cheat on this kind of thing. Faith is the foundation of being a human being! "
Zhang Hanqing’s words did not make Neshinsky feel better. He comforted him and said not to be anxious, but could Neshinsky not be anxious? To him, time really is money!
"Young Marshal, this money must not be moved away! Now the new business is booming, and we urgently need it to expand our business. Every night, the loss to Daosheng Bank is immeasurable!"
"I know——don't we have to pay late fees? The incident happened suddenly and we had no choice. Who told the central government to use troops against Hunan at this time? You know that my father is a loyal warlord and will never abandon the central government. He ignores orders. Although money is tight at the moment, in his words, 'we must create conditions even if we create conditions'! In this regard, my father can be a role model for Chinese officials"
Neshinsky didn’t want to listen to his nonsense. The news coming from the country was getting worse day by day. He didn’t dare to wait any longer. Who knew what was about to happen?
"Young Marshal, I know that there are frequent financial contacts between Feng Province and the Bank of Japan. Can you please ask the Marshal to transfer a sum of money from the Japanese to use as military expenses? The headquarters is very anxious to pursue this money!"
It seems that Neshinsky knows the situation in Fengtian very well. The Bank of Japan has indeed always been Zhang Zuolin’s largest creditor. Zhang Zuolin did get a lot of help from the Bank of Japan on his way to becoming a big man. However, Zhang Hanqing will not be stupid enough to dig another hole for me at this time - do you think Japanese money is easy to use?
"This is not okay! Originally, it was a very moral thing to crusade against the South under the orders of the Central Committee. However, using Japanese money to fight the war has changed its nature. It's inappropriate! It's inappropriate!" Zhang Hanqing shook his head. Rattle.
"You nnd, you can't take Japanese money, but Russian money is fine?" Neshinsky cursed for a while, but he couldn't show his dismay on his face. Who told him to ask for help from the other party now?
"Anyway, please help the young marshal to move these two million out first." Neshinsky said as he took out a paper note from his pocket: "This is a cashier's check issued by Japan's Fengtian Bank. It's not interesting at all." , this is not a respect, please accept it, young marshal!"
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When people go to banks/banks, they always have an ugly face, difficulty in getting in, and difficulty in getting things done. When did the feng shui change and it became the uncle who owed money!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????… But for the Zhangs, who are obsessed with eating up all the loans, this is boring.
Zhang Hanqing glanced at it and saw that ten thousand yuan was a generous sum.
"Mr. Neshinsky, who do you think I am, Zhang Hanqing! In both public and private matters, your actions are a great insult to me, Mr. Zhang! I will arrange for someone to come to your office to calculate the cost of delayed repayment. Compensate!" Zhang Hanqing tossed his sleeves and stood up: "Send off the guests!"
Just when I was worried about how to get rid of this guy, the opportunity was presented to me. At this moment, Zhang Hanqing was upright and upright, and he looked like a good cadre who refused corruption and established new practices.
Neshinsky did not expect that his "good intentions" would have such a result, and he did not understand the young marshal's behavior. Did she accidentally touch his reverse scale? But how can a cat not eat meat? He could only understand that the young marshal was in a bad mood today and he was shot.
Next time you have to come when this guy is in a good mood!
But just as you can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep, Zhang Hanqing, who is deliberately trying to swallow up his principal, will not be tempted by any bait. Of course, he was also a very "faithful" person and still sent an accountant to Daosheng Bank to calculate the late payment fees. However, this would do nothing but drive Neshinsky even more crazy, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Chapter 286 The Tianjin Conference of the Governor’s Army
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Zhang Hanqing’s statement that the central government ordered the army to attack the south was only half true.
What is true is that Duan Qirui sent his confidant General Fu Liangzuo to replace Tan Yankai as the Hunan governor, and his brother-in-law Wu Guangxin as the commander-in-chief of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the Sichuan investigation envoy. They actually sent reinforcements to southern Hunan. What's false is that he has no intention of calling Zhang Zuolin - he doesn't want to reject the tiger at the front door and welcome the wolf at the back door.
Those who were about to die were the direct warlords Wang Ruxian, commander of the 8th Division, and Fan Guozhang, commander of the 20th Division. They were on the front line of the war, and they were very dissatisfied with Duan Qirui's lack of effort and letting them take the lead. So on the pretext that floods were in full swing in the north and protecting people's livelihood should be the top priority, they simply called for peace and evacuated the Hengnan front line. .
Duan Qirui's crusade against the South (Sun Yixian), the policy of unification by force did not work, and he was opposed by the Zhili, and the situation in Hunan suddenly changed, so he had no choice but to resign. Before he submitted his resignation, Jiangsu Governor Li Chun (directly) called again and suggested that the Prime Minister should not serve as the Army Chief (in fact, he wanted to reduce Duan Qirui's military power), dissolve the Provisional Senate, appoint Tang Shaoyi as the general representative of the Northern Peace Conference, and quickly convene North-South peace talks, etc.
On November 16, Duan Qirui was forced to submit his resignation. At the same time, he sent a "secret" email to discuss the need for unity among the Beiyang faction and the reasons why he had to resign. While he was clearly preparing to step down, he used his position as vice president to win over Cao Kun, the Zhili clique, in order to divide the Zhili clique's forces.
Although Cao Kun was a member of the Zhili clique, he had not joined the Zhuhe Group of the Three Governors of the Yangtze River before, and had always maintained good relations with the Anhui clique. He was called the "amphibious governor" of the Zhili and Anhui cliques, so he was quite important at that time. Both the Zhizhi and Anhui cliques tried their best to win over Cao Kun, but he never took sides. He was the most powerful among the Beiyang faction at that time, and he had been the Beiyang Minister in the Qing Dynasty. His every move had a serious impact on Beijing. Cao Kunben remained neutral in the overt and covert struggles between the Zhili and Anhui cliques. Under the direction of Xu Shuzheng, Duan Qirui's important adviser, he issued a separate telegram to Malaysia on the 21st: advocating the withdrawal of the southern army from Changsha as a condition for peace talks between the north and the south. On the surface, it seems that it is still a compromise, or a compromise between main war and peace, but in fact it is unfavorable to the South Army.
Changsha was conquered with great difficulty, so what’s the point of retreating? Moreover, Lu Rongting, who was patrolling Guangdong and Guangxi, followed Sun Yixian, wasn't he trying to occupy a piece of territory in Hunan? Even if Sun Yixian wants to retire, Lu Rongting will not give up this piece of fat easily.
The conflict between Zhizhi and Anhui was temporarily settled with Duan Qirui temporarily retreating and resigning as Premier of the State Council. President Feng Guozhang also issued an armistice order. However, Sun Yat-sen was unyielding and issued a statement on the current situation: "Let's give up." There is no room for negotiation except for the restoration of the treaty and the old parliament."
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is absolutely impossible. Although the Zhizhi and Anhui cliques are fighting happily now, if the old Congress is really restored and the Kuomintang members account for the majority, life will be difficult for everyone. Two tigers fighting against each other are better than a tripartite confrontation.
Moreover, the Zhili clique's proposal for peace aroused strong dissatisfaction between the Beiyang war faction and the Anhui clique. Instigated by Duan Qirui and his confidant Xu Shuzheng behind the scenes, before and after Cao Kun's telegram was issued, the warlords of the 13 provinces used Cao Kun and Zhang Huaizhi on December 2 Headed by the governor, the governors and representatives of the governors gathered in Sunjia Garden in Tianjin for a meeting.
The scale and momentum of this meeting was no less than that of the Xuzhou Conference. Except for the southwestern provinces (except for detached affairs) and the three governors of the Yangtze River (direct forces), which did not have representatives, the seven provinces of Shanxi, Fengtian, Heilongjiang, Fujian, Anhui, Zhejiang, Shaanxi and Representatives of the warlords from the three special regions of Chahar, Rehe, and Suiyuan, as well as Shanghai military envoy Lu Yongxiang and Xuzhou Zhang Jingyao (who were expelled from Hunan) all came to Tianjin in person or with representatives. This was tantamount to another round of supervision. Legion meeting.
Zhang Hanqing is the Fengtian representative attending the Tianjin conference. This young marshal has an eye-catching charm. Although he is a little too young, no one here dares to have a little contempt. As a general who has been known as a "breasted tiger" since his debut, Zhang Hanqing represents It is the huge Northeastern military and political group behind it.
Accompanying him was Zhang Zuolin’s think tank, General Counselor of the Fengtian Military Governor’s Office Yang Yuting, who was also Zhang Zuolin’s confidant. The reason why Zhang Zuolin sent him here was that he just hoped that he could see the world. Anyway, the decision had been made long ago: one word, fight!
Among a group of old people from the Republic of China, Zhang Hanqing’s childish face is very eye-catching. Because of this, Zhang Hanqing also caught sight of another young man. Lu Xiaojia, the son of Lu Yongxiang, the Songhu military envoy who came to see the world with his father, was another "dandy" as famous as Zhang Hanqing in history. However, Zhang Hanqing has "corrected" a lot, but he has failed to follow the trend of history.
The Chinese have always attached great importance to seating arrangements, which are not only etiquette but also a symbol of social status. In Chinese banquets and meetings, where you sit is very particular.
For example, this meeting was headed by Cao Kun and Zhang Huaizhi. Needless to say, Cao Kun was headed by Duan Qirui.The "amphibious governor" to be won over is responsible for splitting the Zhili clique; needless to say, Zhang Huaizhi, a die-hard member of the Anhui clique, is currently the governor of Shandong. They sit together in the first place, and they are well-deserved for their status and fame. The two of them made some concessions and sat down there.
Other Anhui warlords such as Anhui Warlord Ni Sichong, Zhejiang Warlord Yang Shande and other warlords Lu Yongxiang, Zhang Huaizhi, Zhang Jingyao, Li Houji, etc. are all well-known characters. If Zhang Zuolin were here, there would be a fight. But Lao Zhang didn't come, only Xiao Zhang came, and someone came up with an idea to deceive students. They were arranged according to age. As a junior, Zhang Hanqing was undoubtedly ranked at the bottom.
That’s not bad. After all, the people sitting here are all seniors from Beiyang. Zhang Hanqing is a junior, so being able to accompany the last seat is considered as a reward for the juniors. However, what made Zhang Hanqing unhappy was that Lu Xiaojia, who was both the fourth son of the Republic of China, was ranked far ahead of Zhang Hanqing because he followed Nai's father. This made him particularly disgusted: spread the word that he, the first of the four sons of the Republic of China, could never be ranked next to others. After three people! And based on their role in history, they definitely do not deserve to be ranked before themselves.
And very importantly, not all the governors were present in person. Li Houji from Fujian and others only sent representatives because of the distance, but because of their age, they were ranked above him. This is not only a battle for ranking, but also represents strength in the eyes of outsiders! In any case, Fengtian should not be underestimated!
He stood there and said calmly: "You are all seniors from Beiyang. Logically speaking, it is okay for Xueliang to accompany the last one, but Xueliang represents the Fengtian Governor! If you look at age, Xueliang is naturally younger, but General Counselor Yang is older than me. The combined age of our two representatives is probably comparable to that of everyone in the seat. Xueliang suggested that this time, the seats should be arranged in order of age. If the seats are still at the bottom, , Xueliang can also explain something to my father. Next time you want to come to a meeting, you can choose a few more representatives, or choose a representative with high moral character."
Some people laughed after what he said. At least Lu Xiaojia, who was about the same age, thought Zhang Hanqing's words were interesting. Ranking by age is not new, but what is this? It’s not like visiting relatives! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

At first, Zhang Zuolin was quite dissatisfied with the choice of this place: he liked to do things with real swords and guns, and the assassination was different from his usual style, and it happened on his own territory. If the yellow mud smeared on his crotch, it would be either shit or shit. , how will others comment on you? He originally admired Yang Yuting very much, but now he hates his vicious behavior.
However, Zhang Hanqing understood his father's thoughts and smiled slightly and said: "Yang Yuting is in charge of Tianjin Fengjun. Although Xu Shuzheng is nominally the deputy commander of Fengjun, everyone knows his identity and knows that he cannot mobilize Fengjun. No one would blame Fengjun for this incident. As long as his father was far away in Fengtian at the time of the incident, it can be said that he was not slack in restraining his subordinates. As long as there is proof that Xu and Yang did it privately, my father If we announce the severe punishment to the public, we can offset the public opinion that is not favorable to me."
Zhang Zuolin looked at Zhang Hanqing with some surprise, and said slowly: "Xiao Liuzi, I know that you and Ling Ge (characterized by Yang Yuting) have always been at odds, but you still recommended him as his Governor-General's Office. Although Ling Ge made this move, wasn't it based on the original plan? Did you make the decision after consultation? This kind of killing of donkeys will chill the officers and soldiers. Why do you think so?"
Yang Yuting is someone he has always relied on, no worse than Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang and others who started his career. Yang Yuting has outstanding abilities and can always find the crux of the problem in chaos. During the long period of time he served as his senior counselor (general counselor, equivalent to the secretary-general of the Military Commission), he freed himself from the heavy general affairs and served under the department. He owes a lot to what he has achieved today.
No matter how Zhang Zuolin’s worth changes, there are two positions that Yang Yuting has always held in his hands: one is Zhang Zuolin’s general counselor, and the other is the supervisor of the arsenal. The former is the counselor's military aircraft; the latter is the lifeblood of Fengjun.
He also united a large number of people in Fengtian: Zhang Jinghui, Zhang Zuolin's brother-in-law and veteran brigade commander of the 27th Division, Yu Zhen, the veteran and deputy chief of staff of the 27th Division, Xi Qia, the education director of Fengtian Martial Arts Hall, and the Heilongjiang Governor's Office General Counselor Ding Chao and a large number of famous people. They occupy important positions, need troops and weapons, and have become a force that cannot be underestimated.
In the process of the rise of Zhang Hanqing and his family, their interests will inevitably be eroded. Because of this, Yang Yuting carried out a private resistance. Although Yang Yuting strongly supported the separation of the army and police during the Fengtian reform, it was just because he was also unhappy with Tang Yulin and used Zhang Hanqing's power to eliminate it. It did not mean that he had any feelings for Zhang Hanqing. Strength does not exclude or suppress. If it weren’t for him, the People’s Party’s development in Fengtian would not have been constrained, the long-overdue land reform in Fengtian would not have been delayed until the end of last year, and Zhang Hanqing would not have been forced to say that “the People’s Party will not seize power in the three northeastern provinces.” Efforts of Executive Power”.
Of course, Zhang Zuolin is happy to see the consequences of Zhang Hanqing and Yang Yuting's dirty deeds. If an organization is stagnant or always speaks with one voice, it is abnormal in itself. What the superiors have to do is, firstly, to stir up disputes within the organization at the right time, and secondly, to grasp this situation and prevent it from affecting the overall situation. Although Lao Zhang has never taken any systematic management courses, during the long-term intrigue, he completed the social university courses and achieved excellent results.
Zhang Hanqing said softly: "If father knew what Yang Yuting did in the pass, I think you would not blame me for being cruel." He only said a few words quietly, and Zhang Zuolin immediately became furious and shouted: "I didn't expect that I There is this white-eyed wolf nesting next to me!"
Stopping Zhang Zuolin's move to order the adjutant to pull Yang Yuting back for questioning, Zhang Hanqing said calmly: "Father, the matter is now over. Let's see how things develop. With this matter, father can first push the matter away, and secondly, he can naturally take advantage of the situation. With Yang's power being wiped out to the end, among the three, I think we can gain some more benefits from this incident."
Zhang Zuolin watched Zhang Hanqing remain silent for a long time, then suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said: "Xiao Liuzi, I was right to ask you to study hard. People who drink foreign ink are different from what we think!"
After Lu Jianzhang arrived in Tianjin, Xu Shuzheng wrote a letter asking him to come to the Fengjun headquarters in Tianjin for a discussion. Lu Jianzhang believed that he was a current general and an old-timer of the Beiyang faction, and he was in the Fengjun headquarters. He had no doubt that someone would murder him. He went as promised, and Xu Shuzheng graciously invited him to talk in the secret room of the garden. When he entered the garden, his guards were blocked outside. At this time, he still didn't think about the worst.
But when he saw several Xu Shuzheng's guards armed with short guns pouring into the garden, everything became clear. He stared at Xu Shuzheng and said: "Deputy Commander Xu, I am a high official of the country. You have neither the presidential decree nor the authorization of the Congress. Why should you arrest me? This incident will never let go!" At this time, he still did not expect that this time Xu did not play his cards according to common sense, and he was going to be sentenced to death.
Xu Shuzheng said with a smile: "I don't have a handwriting, but I have a pistol." He said loudly to the guards: "As a national official, Lu Jianzhang has colluded with the rebellious party and has evil intentions. I am ordered by the President to kill him Shoot them on the spot to serve as a warning to others!"
When Lu Jianzhang heard these words, he knew that disaster was coming. Before he could reply, a guard shot him from behind and killed him.
To be honest, if Lu Jianzhang persuaded Cao Kun to return to the Zhili clique, the Anhui clique would lose a general for no reason, and the capital would be in danger. Therefore, according to Xu Shuzheng's position, Lu Jianzhang had the means to die, and Xu Shuzheng had the intention to kill. It's just that this approach is very unpopular, but it was something Duan Qirui and others did not expect.
After killing Lu, Xu Shuzheng asked Fang Shu, the secretary-general of the Academy, to draft an order through a long-distance phone call, and asked Feng Guozhang to seal it and publish the full text of the order as follows: "Previously, Zhang Huaizhi, Ni Sichong, Chen Shufan, Lu Yongxiang, etc. successively reported that Lu Jianzhang was in Anhui, Shaanxi, etc." Those who colluded with bandits, incited the army, attempted to promote chaos, and recently colluded with the party in Shanghai should be dealt with by telegram from the State Council. This is to be forwarded by the Prime Minister, and according to the telegram from Fengjun Deputy Commander Xu Shuzheng: Lu Jianzhang arrived from Shanghai Jin, come back to the camp to incite incitement, and should be shot. As an officer, Lu Jianzhang dared to go around inciting the army and colluding with bandits. According to the regulations on punishing bandits, he should be punished immediately. Now that he has been shot, he will immediately be deprived of his military honors. The medal is a symbol of the law."
He is not very stupid, and he also knows to use the name of "Deputy Commander of Fengjun" to generate electricity in order to draw the Fengxi faction into this muddy water.
Feng Guozhang was so frightened that he refused to seal it that day, but felt that he was also in danger. On the 16th, he finally sealed it and published it. On the surface, Xu Shuzheng had the upper hand, and all parties responded in a low-key manner. However, this move broke the unspoken rules of the political arena in the early years of the Republic of China: no matter how different the political views of the two opposing parties were, they would rarely directly engage in physical attacks as soon as they left office. This was the case with Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang, Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei and others later.
Feng Yuxiang is Lu Jianzhang's nephew. After hearing the news of his uncle's death, he was unusually calm and calmly accepted the "honor award" offered by the Presidential Palace to comfort him, and volunteered to be transferred to Fujian to attack the Guangdong French Protectorate Army.
In fact, Feng Yuxiang has found out the real cause of Lu Jianzhang's death. As Lu Jianzhang's nephew and son-in-law, he naturally cannot forget this relationship and support - Lu Jianzhang is Feng Yuxiang's old boss. However, before waiting for an opportunity to attack Xu Shuzheng, he must first save his own life, because the Anhui clique is now powerful, and he understands the principle of "Shen Sheng will die inside, and Chong'er will be safe outside." He applied for a long-distance transfer to Fujian, but it was not to stay away from the land of right and wrong.
The assassination incident caused Xu Shuzheng to be questioned by many parties and his reputation was greatly damaged. It also provoked the hatred between the Anhui clique, especially Xu Shuzheng, and Feng Yuxiang, who was on the periphery of the Zhili clique, and brought new seeds of discord to the Zhili and Anhui cliques. Although the Feng clique failed to divide Zhili and Anhui as it wished, it was knocked out by Xu Shuzheng's hands. Recruiting Jilin Meng Enyuan's strong support for Lu Jianzhang would have all the advantages and no disadvantages for Zhang Zuolin.
The sequelae caused by this assassination incident have already put Duan Qirui on fire, and now he has no intention of pursuing the matter of Feng Jun and Liang Seizing his arms! In order to eliminate internal and external doubts about Lu Jianzhang's death in the Fengjun garrison, Zhang Zuolin ordered the dismissal of Yang Yuting from his position as chief of general staff of the Fengjun outside the Pass on the grounds that Yang Yuting was involved in the "assassination scandal" and had insufficient control over the Fengjun outside the Pass, and Zhang Zuoxiang took over instead. .
Zhang Zuoxiang also served as the leader of the "Assassination Gate" investigation team. At the same time, he recommended that the Beiyang government remove Xu Shuzheng from participating in the war outside the customs and directly serve as deputy commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, successfully transferring this explosive cartridge.
With Yang Yuting losing power, Zhang Hanqing is the proudest person. Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang, among the three major factions of the Lao-Feng clique, all support him. Now that he is the biggest obstacle on the way forward, he is in trouble. No wonder Xiao Zhang is so rude. Taking this opportunity, he said to Zhang Zuolin: "The Governor's Office has two positions, the General Counselor and the Chief of Staff. Some of the responsibilities overlap. For example, if a senior general like Yang Yuting serves as the de facto deputy of the Governor, the General Counselor has a high position. If this person is ambitious, It is not difficult to expand and isolate the governor. Therefore, I think it is better not to set up the post of general counselor in the future. Considering the particularity of the army, major military matters are decided by the governor and tasks are delegated by the chief of staff. General matters are left to the subordinate divisions themselves. That’s enough to deal with.”
Zhang Zuolin hated the situation and wanted to agree to this idea, but there were still many trivial matters to deal with in the Military Governor's Office. Zhang Zuolin spent more of his energy on controlling the divisions under his command. Zhang Dashuai, who was at the right time in his life, did not have so much time to deal with trivial matters.
In response to this, Zhang Hanqing took a step back: "Then at least use civilian officials. As long as they reach that position, the generals will inevitably be dissatisfied and more likely to create threats."
Hearing this, Zhang Zuolin thought to himself for a while, then suddenly shook his head and said, "You have to be capable and loyal at the same time. Is it possible that you should be allowed to take this position?"
“Hey, this is exactly what Zhang Hanqing thought! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 314 The beginning of self-reliance

After this war, the last organized non-direct army in the Northeast was eliminated, and Zhang Zuolin had complete control over the armies of the three northeastern provinces in name and in fact. This battle also allowed Wu Junsheng, Zhang Jinghui, and Ji Jinchun to see Zhang Hanqing's extraordinary courage and resourcefulness, and finally recognized the young marshal's military ability in their hearts.
The Guards Division's ability to block Gao Shibi's all-out attack with one regiment may not be a great success, but the special operations brigade used one battalion to force Gao Shibi to give up on rescuing his beloved artillery battalion and capture a large amount of baggage for Ji Jinchuncheng's organization. And almost a complete artillery battalion is impressive. Therefore, when judging merit, Ji Yiqiao ranks first.
Ji Yiqiao’s military rank was originally major general (although the special operations brigade was originally a battalion-level organization). This time, he was specifically given the rank of major general plus lieutenant general and was transferred to the Northeast Lecture Hall to serve as the captain of the student training team. The reason why it is called Northeast Military Academy is because the tide has lifted all boats, and Fengtian Jiangwu Hall has also begun to recruit students from all over Northeast China. Therefore, it was renamed Northeast Military Academy accordingly.
It is understandable to enrich the student teaching team. Zhang Hanqing always insists on recruiting knowledgeable students to join the army, so he attaches great importance to their training teachers. The student army is also Zhang Hanqing's signature. It was previously led by Wang Yizhe. After he served as Secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Political Department of the First Division, he no longer had the energy to continue the teaching of the student army. Ji Yiqiao had rich training and battlefield experience, and he acted at the right time, and soon Is necessary.
The main officers of the Guards Division and the First Division were all students and officers from the Jiangwu Hall. Their extraordinary performance under Zhang Hanqing's training made Zhang Zuolin strengthen his idea of ??reusing officers from the Jiangwu Hall. He stipulated that when the Fengjun army has a vacancy of regimental and battalion commanders, the chiefs of staff, regimental deputy, instructors of the martial arts hall, and captains of each unit will fill the vacancies. Senior officers who have been in the military for a long time must also regularly return to the martial arts hall to serve as instructors and transfer their experience to younger generations, forming a spiral promotion channel from the army to the school to the army.
Of course, returning to the army may not necessarily be the same army as before. Timely rotation of senior officers is also a means for Lao Zhang to ensure that his subordinates do not form personal forces. Needless to say, this was Zhang Hanqing's move. If everyone does this, it doesn't matter who is targeted, but invisibly everyone has a deeper respect for Zhang Zuolin's authority.
In order to ensure Zhang Hanqing’s status in the army, Zhang Zuolin also stipulated that junior officers such as squad and platoon leaders should be served by outstanding student army graduates or soldiers with military merit. In this way, it ensures the continuous improvement of the military's capabilities from the grassroots level, and also ensures that the new generation of officers come from the young marshal's disciples, laying the foundation for the young marshal to take full power in the future.
In addition, Fengjun is not exclusive: whether you graduated from Baoding Martial Arts Hall or studied in Japan or Europe, as long as you have the ability, you are welcome to join Fengjun. Therefore, graduates from various military academies believe that there is a future in following the Fengjun Army. At this time, Beiyang warlords generally preferred people with military backgrounds to lead their troops, and those with student backgrounds could only be used as staff officers. Uniquely, Fengjun was different from this. Many people with student backgrounds directly led troops. As a result, famous military training experts such as Yang Zhengzhi, Dai Lianxi, He Zhuguo, and Mao Fucheng, who have been instructors at Baoding Army School for many years, defected to Fengjun and successively served in the army.
Zhang Hanqing was also promoted to major general and lieutenant general due to his outstanding military exploits. After this battle, he established his authority at the top of the Fengjun army. Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhang Zuolin temporarily restored the post of general counselor of the patrol mission to him, which gave him fame and fortune. Double harvest.
The military and political power were firmly in their hands, but the economic power was monopolized by the Japanese. This made Zhang Zuolin choke in his throat, especially the railway transportation routes that were related to the lifeblood of the Northeast. Except for the North Manchuria Railway, which was still in the hands of the Russians, other The railways were basically controlled by the Japanese.
Through the Treaty of Portsmouth, which stipulated that "three kilometers along the railway line shall be controlled by the Japanese", the Japanese opened a large number of mines, reclaimed farmland, designated forest areas and grasslands in Kyrgyzstan and Fengcheng, and stationed themselves in important places. soldiers. On both sides of the Japanese-controlled railway, the Japanese had the privilege of acquiring soil, fuel, and construction, which were called annexed areas. Taking Fengtian Station as an example, the auxiliary area occupies a large area and is the same as the urban area, forming a concession. It not only has streets, shops, schools, etc., but also has its own police station and barracks. Chinese people who enter are also subject to its management.
The Japanese controlled important transportation lines, making it impossible for Zhang Zuolin, who legally unified the Northeast, to geographically connect Feng, Ji, and Heilongjiang. On the surface, he has a huge force of 9 brigades of the 5th Division, but as long as the Japanese do not agree to use railway lines to transport troops, Zhang Zuolin's military advantage cannot be revealed at all. Instead, he has to go his own way in major wars because he has to fortify everywhere. war. When he was wiping out the Babu Zabu bandit army, he was forced to walk on two legs. This was regarded as a great shame by both the old and young marshals.
Therefore, Zhang Zuolin organized the 9 brigades of troops into three security headquarters, which were placed in Fengtian, Jilin and Heilongjiang. They were all under the control of military governors (the one in Fengtian was also under his own control), as part of guarding the local area.Use; five divisions as the main mobile force, directly under the jurisdiction of the Fengjun General Headquarters.
The book and the article are on the same track. After unifying the military and administration, it is not a problem that the transportation hub is not in our own hands. Zhang Zuolin had long discussed with Zhang Hanqing how to plan to build his own railway to bypass the Japanese sphere of influence to control the three northeastern provinces. Lu Ronghuan and Wang Naibin, who followed Zhang Hanqing, were both railway experts, and they were both appointed to the position of director of the Department of Transportation. They were ordered to send many workers to survey the terrain and calculate the pros and cons. After half a year of hard work, they achieved great results.
In the second year after the victory of the Russo-Japanese War, Japan built railways from Fengtian to Andong and Fengtian to Xinmin. The reason why we went to Xinmin was to prepare to extend from there to Inner Mongolia in the future, to establish a frontline for controlling the inland. Zhang Hanqing placed the main force of the Guard Division here in order to cut off his intention to get involved in various parts of Inner Mongolia.
The reason for going to Andong is to connect Fengtian City to North Korea so that it can strategically control Fengtian. Anton is today's Dandong, across the river from North Korea. At the same time as the Republic of China was founded, the Japanese built the Yalu River Bridge from Andong to Sinuiju, North Korea.
During Yuan Shikai’s term, Japan obtained the privilege of building the fifth railway between Manchuria and Mongolia. Among them, the borrowing rights of the Sitao, Kaihai and Changtao railways, and the borrowing priority of the Taocheng and Jihai railways. The so-called borrowing power means that you must use my loan; the so-called borrowing priority means that if you want to borrow money from foreign countries to build railways, you must use my money. Given the financial situation during the Republic of China, it would not be possible to do well without foreign loans. Through these overlord clauses, Japan laid the groundwork for its continued in-depth control of Northeast China.
Fengxin, Jingfeng, Nanman, Anfeng, and the five lines leading from Fengtian provincial capital to other places are all under the control of the Japanese; the Changji and Nanman railways monopolize the external transportation of Changchun, the Jilin provincial capital; In Siping, an important town at the junction of Jilin and Fengcheng, the construction from Siping to Zhengjiatun was completed in the sixth year of the Republic of China, so the Japanese built a police station in Zhengjiatun. This was one of the reasons why Zhang Hanqing clashed with them when he suppressed bandits. The so-called "Zhengbai Railway" from Zhengjiatun west to Tongliao (Zhengjiatun to Baiyintai Lai, namely Tongliao), a road map of about 230 miles has been completed. Cao Rulin, the Chief of Transportation and Chief of Finance of the Xiqi Rui Government of the Republic of China, has Renewed the loan of 2.6 million Japanese gold from Japan Bank to prepare to start construction. Once completed, Japan's plan to extend its eastern route into Mongolia will succeed again.
Looking at the colorfully marked route maps on the map, the old and young marshals can’t help but be frightened.
How to deal with the Japanese encroachment on Northeast China and the hinterland of Mongolia? Zhang Zuolin decided not to borrow money from Japan to build the railway, but to use self-reliance to raise funds. It doesn't matter if it's not enough, just repair a section and use it, and the funds will be withdrawn as much as possible. When you have money, continue to repair. It is foreseeable that the Northeast's finances will improve significantly. It is serious to build the major cities in the three Northeast provinces in order. It is most important to limit the expansion momentum of the Japanese first. Without money, Zhang Hanqing came up with some ideas, which won the approval of the old commander. The idea of ??using the newly captured officers and soldiers of the Jilin Mixed Brigade to build the railway was Zhang Hanqing's latest move: autonomy.
As early as May 26, 1918, Zhang Zuolin and Sun Liechen jointly announced: "From the beginning of May, all political affairs in the three eastern provinces and the people of the three eastern provinces will be decided by themselves; and together with comrades from the southwest and Yangtze River provinces, we will act in concert; support the law, Support autonomy, eradicate violence, and promote unification." At that time, it was to support Duan Qirui. Not only Zhang Zuolin, but also more than a dozen other provinces in the military governorate had announced this.
Because the central government controlled by Duan Qirui has always acquiesced, now it’s time to make the lie come true.
Riding on the trend of Northeastern autonomy, Zhang Zuolin rejected the central government's road construction loan, saying that the Northeastern government's financial situation is now good and internal construction has been planned, so there is no need to worry about the "Zhengbai" railway. Because it is "autonomy", the Beijing government cannot impose any restrictions on the construction of civil affairs in Northeast China, so it has to deal with the matter coldly. However, Japanese Consul Yoshida Shigeru of Fengtian still visited Zhang Zuolin in person for this purpose.
Yoshida Shigeru is Zhang Zuolin's "old friend". In the foreseeable future, he will continue to become Zhang Hanqing's "new friend". When it comes to major events, Zhang Hanqing, as the general counselor, is naturally present.
Yoshida Shigeru first praised Zhang Hanqing’s dazzling performance in recent years, then talked about the “friendship” with Zhang Zuolin, and also talked about the history of happy cooperation between them. Of course, his original intention was not to reminisce with Zhang Zuolin. He said to Zhang Zuolin in a very sincere manner: "I heard that the patrol envoy rejected the loan from the Central Committee of your country for the Zhengbai Railway. I thought it was very inappropriate. The patrol envoy knew that Northeast China is huge and rich in products. , but transportation problems restrict the development of people's livelihood in various places. Building railways is the fundamental solution to this problem, and it can also make the lives of the people under the general's rule better. But I know that your financial resources are not very abundant, and you need to raise troops and build. Listen, You said that you also want to establish a university in Northeast China, but the cost is too high. Japan's loan will just meet the general's urgent need, and it will also connect Kyrgyzstan, Fenghuang and Mongolia into one, which is a good thing that benefits both sides. Our government | I deeply regret this matter." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)thing. Our government deeply regrets this matter.

Chapter 316 Strong Acceptance

But Zhang Hanqing’s attitude was very determined. After he made a detailed analysis of Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen and other Fengjun veterans, the international attitude towards the Soviet Russian government's upcoming intervention and the unavoidable risks that would be caused once the Japanese entered, Zhang Zuolin made the final decision: "Take advantage of the opportunity." Little Japan has not yet started, it is turning the raw rice into cooked rice. I can't do anything about the places it has taken before, but if it wants to occupy new places, there is no way!"
Some "prudent" generals are worried that this will provoke Japan's backlash. Zhang Hanqing said: "Weak countries have no diplomacy. No matter what progress we make, it will lead to Japan's backlash. This is determined by Japan's national policy. Conflict is inevitable. , but as long as we adopt a reasonable, advantageous and restrained strategy and do not give Japan a chance to make a move, a major conflict will be relatively unlikely to occur. However, if it does happen, it shows that no matter how we give in, we will still not be satisfied. There’s nothing to talk about about the Japanese’s desires!”
Zhang Zuolin was one of the few big bosses who supported Zhang Hanqing. He was deeply dissatisfied with the Japanese's bad behavior in Northeast China. Seeing that everyone was afraid of the Japanese, he interjected: "Convene a meeting with the police chiefs of Fengtian counties, mobilize manpower, and bury all the tracks of the South Manchuria Railway underground overnight. Then hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops took the initiative The 15,000 Japanese soldiers who attacked Dalian could completely defeat it, so why should we be afraid of little Japan?"
Yes, from a historical perspective, it was not until 1919 that Japan caught up with China in an important indicator related to national strength. This thing is actually worthless in later generations. It is called GDP.
In this era, which has just entered the era of hot weapons, manpower, territory, and endurance are important indicators for judging whether a country is a powerful country. In this regard, although the three northeastern provinces are only a corner of China, they will be a huge existence for Japan if it exerts its strength.
The reason why the Middle East Road was coveted by Russia, Japan, and even Britain and the United States was because it was one of the only major transportation arteries in China at that time. In the northeast, it is the most convenient road connecting China and Russia, and it is also the shortcut for Russia to connect Siberia with its Far East territory. In addition, from Harbin to Changchun, it will be connected to the Japanese-controlled South Manchuria Railway (Changchun-Dalian). If Russia controls it, it can serve as a strategic buffer, and it can easily control the Northeast and obtain abundant resources; if Britain and the United States control it, it can make inroads within the sphere of influence of Russia and Japan; and it is of even greater significance to Japan: it can both This can control the entire Northeast to complete its established national policy of controlling Manchuria and Mongolia and make it their second homeland. It can also be used as a springboard to interfere with Soviet Russia.
This railway has a greater impact on China, especially the three eastern provinces: it is the main artery of the Black Province, and its role in economic and military development is self-evident; controlling it before the Japanese enter Vladivostok will make the Black Province's sovereignty It was firmly in the hands of the patrol missions of the three eastern provinces and blocked the Japanese ambition to use this road to join the South Manchuria Railway.
?Taking Harbin as an example, it is the divergence point of this branch of the China Eastern Railway. The Russians operate with good intentions and call it the Moscow of the East. Its economic conditions are among the best in the entire Northeast. In Zhang Hanqing's vision, the Black Province was originally the rear area where the clique dominated China, and it had to be kept out of the sand.
As soon as the civil war broke out in Russia, the Heilongjiang Fengjun immediately took back the garrison power on the Middle East Road. After Zhang Zuolin's "instruction", the central government appointed Sun Liechen, the governor of the Black Province and the supervisor of the China Eastern Railway, with Zhang Hanqing as the council manager and full authority to handle this matter.
As soon as he took office, Zhang Hanqing immediately dispatched the main force of the Guard Division to Harbin. He declared that China enjoys complete sovereignty over the Middle East Road and sent troops to take over the former Tsarist Russia's Transamur Military District Headquarters, Road Guard Staff Headquarters, Gendarmerie Headquarters, Police Station and other institutions.
The polar bear succumbed for the first time under the blooming begonia. Due to the chaos in the country, it is impossible to have any more systematic instructions on such a "little matter". Therefore, after the strong Fengjun entered, the Russians basically did not struggle much. The situation is chaotic, and no one dares to take the risk of war to compete with Fengjun. The key is that the hope of victory is slim, so why engage in a meaningless fight?
Only when the dust settled, people realized that Zhang Hanqing chose this moment to occupy the Middle Road so cleverly!
Because the Republic of China government did not recognize the results of the Soviet-led October Revolution at this time, Liu Jingren, the Chinese Minister to Russia, was ordered to withdraw from Moscow in February in protest. The Chinese government announced that it would continue to recognize the Kerensky government. (February Revolutionary Bourgeois Government), and instructed Zhang Zuolin to send troops to blockade the northeastern border area in an attempt to isolate it.
For this reason, the ownership of the Middle East Route has never been effectively confirmed in official history. After the Soviet Union stabilized the situation, there was another round of quarrels. Later, the young marshal could not help but fight with the Soviet Union and was defeated. So the Middle East Route Replenish with??Russian control.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing was the first to create the facts and later used them as a bargaining chip for Sino-Soviet peace. It can be said that Zhang Hanqing was foresighted and the timing was perfect.
However, after Zhang Hanqing discussed with Sun Liechen, his main force was not stationed at the border between Northeast China and Russia but at the border between Changchun and the Japanese army. Of course, the euphemistic name was to prevent the Russians from penetrating into Fengji. There was a good reason for this.
The chaos in Soviet Russia also affected Russian expatriates living in Harbin. The outbreak of the October Revolution and the Soviet Civil War, a large number of White Party soldiers, officers, Cossacks, intellectuals and masses who did not yet understand the new party, businessmen and landlords, as well as government officials of Tsarist Russia, these were said to be political Dissidents, those who were anti-Bolsheviks, fled. They were called White Russians, the group corresponding to the red "red" Soviets, the older of the two parties, the old and the new. Those with money went to countries such as Germany and France, while more people in Siberia and the Far East chose China.
At this time, Harbin was still just a city in Heilongjiang Province. However, because it was located at the "T" intersection of the China Eastern Railway, its geographical location became more important, and it gradually surpassed Qiqihar, the provincial capital at that time, economically.
Many Belarusians have a glorious and beautiful past. Wandering in a foreign country and clinging to the past has become their norm. Thinking about the former duchess who had to lean on the door to show off her smile, I suddenly feel that the times are sad and deplorable. Many people were not poor when they came to China. At that time, they brought colorful rubles with the image of Peter the Great on them. Of course they had to be frugal when they fled. However, the establishment of the new currency system by the Soviet Russian government made them The rubles in his hands also turned into waste paper as an era came to an end and became worthless trinkets sold in Belarusian thrift stores.
In just one year, after several changes in the international environment and long periods of displacement, the mentality of the vast majority of Belarusians has changed. Without money, and because of poor Chinese, it is difficult for Belarus to find a decent job in China to support his family.
Men become bad when they are rich, and women become rich when they become bad. The age-old trade of selling one's body to make a living is back in vogue. Some Belarusian women have gradually been reduced to the bottom of society and have to choose to make money with their bodies. They have given up their ancient Europa-centrism and have well inherited the qualities of forbearance and restraint of the Orthodox Church, even though many of them were aristocrats during the Tsarist Russia. They no longer ridicule the Chinese as "monkeys". They have been reduced to this point and can only let the "monkeys" jump up and down on them.
Zhang Hanqing made the idea of ????differentiation at the right time, just to relieve some pressure on the recovery of the Middle Road. He decided to implement a system that allows Belarusians who have lost their nationality to live and work legally in China. The Chinese government will protect their private property, which can at least ensure their survival needs. Zhang Hanqing also promised that if the Middle East Railway was nationalized, the Belarusians who depended on this railway could keep their original jobs. This step of providing help in times of crisis gave the Belarusians a sense of survival in a desperate situation. They agreed that it would be better for the Chinese government to take back control of the Eastern Road than to be taken away by Japanese and Western devils.
The Consul General of Harbin and the Supervisor of the Middle East Road, Horvato (also translated as Horvat, the Chinese translation of the Russian name is so difficult to pronounce), was the leader of the old party and was opposed by the new party and could hardly maintain order. On the occasion of the first anniversary of the Russian Revolution, the Russian New Party held a meeting in Harbin to commemorate various Russian groups and reached an agreement requiring recognition of the Vladivostok Provisional Government, but Hall refused to delay. So the Allied Strike Committee under the control of the New Party demanded that it hand over administrative power to representatives of the Vladivostok Provisional Government within 24 hours, but Hall refused to listen, and all Russians went on strike.
??According to official history, the Republic of China government ordered the Russian soldiers to disarm in the early seventh year of the Republic of China, so that the road protection rights of the China Eastern Railway began to be taken back. However, when the intervention forces (Britain, France, the United States, Japan, China—and even China!) jointly sent troops to Siberia not long after, they used the excuse of military transportation relations to mobilize troops from China, Russia, Britain, France, Italy, and the United States. , Japan, each sent one representative to organize a committee in Vladivostok to jointly manage the Siberian and Middle Eastern Railway. This was still when Duan Qirui was Prime Minister, and he signed a "Military Agreement" with Japan, namely the "Official Document on Mutual Defense of Enemies", the "Agreement on Mutual Defense of Enemies", and the "Agreement on Mutual Defense of Enemies by the Navy", which unnecessarily involved Japan, which caused great pain. Lost a good game.
Zhang Hanqing took the opportunity to send troops to occupy the Allied Strike Committee meeting place on the grounds that the dispute caused the East Road to be paralyzed. While disarming the Russian military and police, he forced Horva to leave Harbin and handed over the power to the personnel led by Heilongjiang Governor Sun Liechen.
This is like a big hole in the sky. But Zhang Hanqing is not afraid: the new Russian government is too busy to take care of itself that it cannot take care of the Far East at all. The strength of the old Russia in the Far East was limited, and they were completely helpless in the face of the Fengjun who came with intentions.
Therefore, under his reckless and forceful attack, the entire Middle East Road was successfully returned to Chinese control. When the news came, the Chinese people were greatly excited, the Soviet people were angry, and the Japanese were stunned.

Hall dragged Wa away without taking away a single cloud.
After quickly stabilizing the situation with lightning speed, Zhang Hanqing took the lead in the complex situation in Northeast China. Because not only the Japanese have this idea, but the United States is also thinking about it. The difference is that Japan wants to monopolize it, while the United States wants to share it.
Historically, U.S. representatives have also agreed to co-management of the Middle East Road. The reason is: "China's management capabilities are insufficient; and the Middle East Road is a world transportation channel and cannot be left to China's disposal. Moreover, since the co-management, the Allied Powers have invested heavily in this road."
??——In fact, this road is entirely a joint venture between China and Russia, and it has nothing to do with the so-called intervention forces that have just set foot on Chinese and Russian territory! In any case, a weak country has no diplomacy, and this is still the case after entering the Republic of China. Foreigners have nothing to do with their own talk. Afterwards, with the note from the Chinese government, Japan, the United States and other relevant countries all took note from the Republic of China government and still proposed the two items decided at the Washington meeting and said they were willing to "jointly" deal with it with China. This made it easy for them to deal with China. "Condominium".
Russia also stated that it had no intention of returning the Middle East Railway to China. Later, after the Soviet Red Army successfully defeated all the opposing forces in the territory, and until the establishment of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union became more and more powerful. It was originally against China. All kinds of embroideries were meaningless, and the demand for the Middle East Road became stronger. After overcoming the difficulties, the Soviet Union continued to control the Middle East Road.
In official history, the original young marshal suddenly had a whim and clashed with the Soviet army shortly after the change of flag in Northeast China. The result was a disastrous defeat, which was known in history as the "Middle East Road Incident". The consequence of this incident was that the former young marshal turned against the Soviet Union, the only country that could put pressure on Japan, resulting in a situation of little international help during September 18th, and then there was no more. It was not until the Japanese surrender in official history and the founding of New China that the Middle East Road and its affiliated resources were handed over to the Chinese government.
At this time, China was still very weak, so weak that although Zhang Hanqing knew the future development, he was unable to influence the subsequent situation in Russia. But one thing that can be done is to make full use of the difficult stage of Soviet Russia to maximize China's interests. This opportunity will be lost in a moment. Now that we know the attitudes and possible trends of various countries, this is our biggest advantage since time travel.
There was also an episode: after the three eastern provinces canceled the old Russian envoy treatment, the old Russian party was afraid that its Daosheng Bank would also be taken over, so it flew the French flag as a boycott. However, the contract between China and Daosheng Bank stipulated that the bank Stocks can only be owned by Chinese and Russian people. Since the other party violated the rules, Zhang Hanqing can't blame him for making a strange card. Citing Dowson Bank's breach of contract as an excuse, he announced the abolition of its rights to the Middle East Road, and claimed that he would use the proceeds to assist the Belarusian people in China "to relieve their poverty."
Not to mention that his foundation was completely wiped out, Zhang Hanqing no longer had to repay the total loan of seven million rubles originally lent to him by Daosheng Bank - the Soviets came to power, the old ruble of Tsarist Russia was banned, and now he doesn't even have a penny. It’s worth it, Zhang Hanqing is not stupid enough to use new currency or other countries’ currencies to pay off his debts.
Other countries don’t dare to mess with it, so doesn’t France? This European power, exhausted after World War I, had not had time to lick its own wounds. How could it do such a thankless thing for the Middle East, which was far away and far beyond its power? The Russians thought that with the Chinese people's mentality since the Opium War, they were not as afraid of European and American powers, so how could they rashly cause trouble?
It’s a pity that they met the young marshal, a legendary figure who has insight into the evolution of history. Zhang Hanqing forcefully passed the "Renewal Contract for the Management of the Eastern Provincial Railway" while talking and laughing, saying: "The Chinese government temporarily acts on behalf of the Russian government to implement all powers of protection, management, and execution of various treaties and contracts, which is officially recognized by China. The Russian government and the two sides have mutually agreed on the road." Accordingly, all the interests of Daosheng Bank in Zhongzhong Road were effectively banned, and its assets in Kazakhstan suffered huge losses. Zhang Hanqing took over Zhonghong Road without any effort.
However, seeing that the Northeastern government of China has actually controlled all the interests of the old Russia in Northern Manchuria, due to changes in Russia's national conditions and relations in the world, in order to prevent it from being attacked from both sides in the Far East, it has softened its attitude toward China. It’s already inevitable.
In fact, the Russian Labor Government stated twice in official history that it would return the occupied territories of China on July 25, 1919 and in the summer of 1920. After everything that was plundered together with the Japanese and the Allied Powers is returned to the Chinese people, we immediately recommend that the Chinese government enter into negotiations on the abolition of the 1896 Treaty, the 1901 Beijing Agreement, and all agreements signed with Japan from 1907 to 1916." (Original text: : Give up the land and all privileges acquired by the old Russian government through aggression in China. And give up the Boxer Indemnity, and return the Middle East Road to China unconditionally)
When the news reached Shanghai, the general public welcomed it, and federations from all walks of life went out of their way to acknowledge it. But the government at that time was afraid thatThe United States was the first to admit that the Soviet Union would be looked down upon by the hostile European, American and Japanese powers, and actually ordered all provinces to ban it. Due to the deterioration of the domestic economic situation, Soviet Russia desperately wanted to trade with China. However, the incompetent warlord government has been unable to initiate negotiations, causing China to miss a good opportunity to develop its economy through the power of Soviet Russia. You must know that although the industrial level of Soviet Russia lags far behind that of Europe and the United States, it is far from the same level as China. All imperialist countries except the Soviet Union "do business" with China for the purpose of plundering China. They only seek primary raw materials and have no idea of ??improving China's industrial capabilities.
Now that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, should we raise strong objections (due to the serious situation at home and abroad, all Soviet Russia can do at present is just embellishments in diplomatic terms) or should we just give in? The Soviet Russian government wisely chose the latter. Russia has always had the tradition that a gentleman should seek revenge no later than ten years. This opportunity will only come in the future. But whether there is a chance to make a comeback in the future depends on the opportunity.
Zhang Hanqing would not give anyone a chance. After a short communication with Sun Liechen, he decided to declare his sovereignty to the world with the fact of being armed. The three brigades of the Heilongjiang Security Command moved forward separately and first controlled Mudanjiang and Suifenhe in the east. The First Division also moved towards Jiamusi on the Sino-Russian border. The purpose is to create a fait accompli and prevent the interventionist forces from landing in China.
Of course, in order to avoid giving excuses to others, Zhang Hanqing used the country's sharp weapons in an emergency to protect the road. He established the "Middle East Road Protection Army Headquarters". The troops were still the same as those of the Heilongjiang Security Command, with one team and two brands, without any redundant personnel.
Various countries have opinions on China’s road to regaining the Middle East.
Because Soviet Russia stopped its troops and made peace with Germany, German and Austrian forces spread throughout Russia, and the Czech army that opposed Soviet Russia was subdued and fell into crisis. In order to nip the new socialist country in the cradle, Britain, the United States, France, Japan, and Italy jointly proposed sending troops to Siberia to assist the Czech army. When all countries jointly sent troops to Siberia, they used military transportation relations to ask each country to send a representative to organize a committee in Vladivostok to jointly manage the Siberian and Middle Eastern Railways. Stephen, the U.S. representative and the technical minister of the committee, requested co-management of the Middle East Road on the grounds that China's management capabilities are insufficient and the Middle East Road is a world transportation thoroughfare and cannot be left to China's disposal.
The situation has taken a turn for the worse. From China's sole response to Japan to facing the joint pressure of several countries, what should Zhang Hanqing do? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 319 Push back
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
At this time, Japanese Army Major General Saito Yoshiharu and Jin Yunpeng, the backbone of Duan Qirui's government, secretly signed the "Military Agreement between the Chinese and Japanese Armies on Joint Defense of Enemies" in Beijing, binding China and Japan to take "joint defense of enemies" actions. Among them, the "Detailed Army Agreement on Joint Defense Against Enemies" stipulates that Japan can enter China during the war (with the intention of northern Manchuria); when the Japanese army is fighting abroad, China should send troops to support it; during the war, the two countries will supply each other with arms and military supplies. The troops that China and Japan jointly march into the Baikal and Amur provinces will be commanded by the Chinese side; the troops that march from Manchuria into Baikal will be commanded by the Japanese side; and Japan can send another force from Kulun to the Baikal side.
Japan is prepared to send a large number of troops into Northeast China through this agreement and quickly replace Tsarist Russia’s aggressive position in the northern parts of the three northeastern provinces.
This agreement is very unfavorable to the Northeastern Autonomous Government. Originally, in Zhang Hanqing's mind, Heilongjiang, including the north of Changchun, was the private land of the Feng clan, and he used it as his backyard to prepare for great achievements. Although Fengtian's economic and industrial conditions far exceed those of Heilongjiang Province, many things cannot be done because the Japanese are entrenched in it.
It is a black province, a blank piece of paper is easy to draw on. Zhang Hanqing has many ideas and plans to implement here. The Japanese must not get involved again! As a city second only to Fengtian, Harbin has the advantage of being an important transportation hub at the crossroads of the South-Manchuria and North-Manchuria railways and a port that strangles the Songhua River. It has the potential to catch up economically.
In his conception, Harbin is going to build a very important university that integrates heavy industry and military industry to provide impetus for the development of the department. The name of this university has already been decided: Harbin Institute of Technology.
There is also a very secret thought: not far from here, on the Middle East Road, there is a city that has not yet been established, and later became the blood of New China's industry. Its name is Daqing.
No one knows what this name means in later generations, but Zhang Hanqing knows that the Japanese have dispatched many resource exploration teams in the Northeast. If it is discovered that there is oil here that they dream of, God knows what will happen! Historically, the Japanese did not even dare to think about oil, but they dared to touch and mess with the world leader, the United States.
Therefore, from the perspective of our own development plans, we must cut off Japan’s black hand extending into the hinterland of Northeast China no matter what!
The response speed of the Northeastern Local Government was extremely fast. When Japan announced this agreement, Zhang Zuolin immediately called China and foreign countries to strongly oppose it. Just as he said in the telegram questioning the central government: "If there is a change in the Soviet Union and Russia, what do you want to do? China, a country that has been weak for many times, does not overestimate its own capabilities and seeks the skin of a tiger, which is nothing but humiliation for itself! Kuang Feng, Kyrgyzstan and Heilongjiang have been autonomous for a long time, but the people of the country are unaware of such a major event that disrupts local security and supports the government's ruling foundation. Is it possible that we, a dignified country, are squandering money for a small group of scum? Former President Yuan Gongshang took the signing of Twenty-One as an excuse. Shame on you, do you think that you are proud of betraying the important interests of the Northeast? The Middle East Road is completely state-owned, which is an opportunity and benefit that has not been seen in recent decades. How can you allow a flimsy piece of private transaction to be tampered with! We must serve the country with all our loyalty. To protect the Middle East Road, you will die!"
As soon as he said this, the whole country was shocked. The Chinese people were angry at the government's shamelessness and were also infected by Zhang Zuolin's patriotism. For a time, a massive "road protection" movement was launched inside and outside the Great Wall, and north and south of the Yangtze River. Zhili, who has always been suppressed, also responded continuously, denounced the secret agreement and vowed to protect the road.
Zhang Zuolin's message cannot but be said to be sharp, and his questioning cannot be said to be blunt. Under the pressure of the whole country, Duan Qirui's government did not dare to admit it, and only issued a simple message saying: "The military agreement is pure fiction, and the Middle East Road is for nothing." China and Russia are old affairs, and we oppose the expansion of negotiations.”
Since it was a secret agreement and was not announced later, although the Japanese were dissatisfied with Duan Qirui's government's renege, they understood their situation. It's just that Zhang Zuolin's high-profile confrontation with Japan made the Japanese feel very uneasy.
In order to add chaos to Zhang Zuolin, the Japanese government ordered many intelligence personnel in the Northeast to collude with the bandits supported by it, and a large-scale riot broke out in the Northeast. In an instant, dark clouds changed in the three northeastern provinces, and most areas were in emergency.
As the decision-maker and top executor of the Middle East Road negotiations, Zhang Hanqing is well aware that the situation in the Far East is changing day by day, and this is the time to try to withstand the pressure. Otherwise, Japan would have had little power in Northern Manchuria. After the conclusion of this agreement, tens of thousands of troops sent to Siberia would depart from the eastern route. According to the Japanese mentality, many auxiliary institutions such as military telephones, post offices, and military depots will be set up in the two provinces of Kyrgyzstan and Heilongjiang. No matter what the outcome of the war with Russia in the future, the Japanese will have a big tail. Just as in history, after the intervention failed later, most of the troops withdrawn by the Baikal side were stationed in Northern Manchuria, resulting in a de facto occupation. This also caused the Japanese to have continuous opportunities to encroach on the Northeast.One of the important reasons why China is getting bigger and bigger, but it is becoming increasingly difficult for China to exert its power. While discussing the suppression of bandits with Zhang Zuolin, he made a tough stance and opposed the "collectivization" of the Middle East Road.
Regarding the intervention forces in Russia from various countries, Zhang Hanqing, who is familiar with history, knows that this is a failed policy with no results. But for Japan, it was another period of time that was regarded as a natural political opportunity. The commanders of the intervention forces of the major powers jointly declared that Vladivostok and its surrounding areas should be temporarily placed under the protection of the Allied Powers on the grounds that the situation in Russia was too chaotic. However, in the end, the armies of all countries did nothing, except for the Japanese soldiers who held the old Russian party hostage. Seminov passed through Baikal, occupied the railway and organized the headquarters in Chita; he also used the old party Kamilgov to set up a headquarters in Khabarovka, and divided his troops to Hailanpao, Amur, and Irkutsk. At its peak, the Japanese army had as many as 11 divisions in Russia! (Editor's note: There were 21 divisions in Japan at that time).
In doing so, Japan intended to use its strong national power to take advantage of the Soviet Union's own crisis to occupy the territory of Siberia and wait for the opportunity to attack the semi-encircled Northeast and Mongolia to realize its established national policy of "Manchu-Mongolia Republic" . At the same time, the rich resources in Soviet Russia are also what Japan dreams of. It can have this intention because it has the confidence.
During the First World War, the old Western colonialist countries had no time to look eastward, which not only provided space for Japan's aggressive expansion policy, but also brought a "war boom" to Japan's economy. Starting from the summer of the second year of the war, Japan's trade exports surged and shipping was extremely prosperous. These created opportunities for development and prosperity for the export industry, shipbuilding industry, and basic and related industries including mining, making various industrial sectors expanded rapidly. The entire manufacturing industry increased by more than 30 times, and the chemical industry increased by more than 96 times. By the second half of 1918, the profit rate of major industries reached 55.2%, which was as high as 191.6% in certain periods, and the shipbuilding industry also reached 166.6%. Through the First World War, Japan became an export superpower from a long-term subnational country since Meiji, and its industrial structure also changed from an agricultural country before the war to an industrial country.
Japan sent troops to Siberia to intervene in the Russian revolution as part of its strategy to weaken Russia, and its intentions were not sophisticated. However, due to the hasty dispatch of troops, after the Soviet Union's powerful war potential was stimulated, Japan gained nothing from the several years of war except a huge debt and the deep-rooted hatred of the Soviet Union. Objectively, it also provided precious time for Japan to delay its attack on China. .
However, for Zhang Hanqing, how to bring about the peaceful rise of Northeast China is his current top priority, and limiting Japan's actions on the South Manchuria Railway it controls and limiting its power to the Kanto Prefecture is the basis. The key is that no matter what, the Japanese army must not be given the opportunity to station troops in Heilongjiang. This is common sense and a prerequisite.
But it seems that Britain, the United States and Japan are determined to gain control of the Middle East Road. Japan plans to send tens of thousands of troops to Siberia from the Middle East Road. A large number of military telephones, telegraphs, and military stations were set up along the roads in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces. Moreover, Japan has signed an agreement with Duan Qirui's central government. If the Feng army interferes, the Japanese military will be responsible.
On the one hand, they are angry at the short-sightedness of the central government, and on the other hand, they want to make concessions to the big powers. Zhang Hanqing, in his capacity as the Supervisor of the Middle East Road, visited Stephen, Technical Director of the Vladivostok Organizing Committee of the United States, and Lieutenant General Hoshino of Japan, Minister of Military Transportation. Stephen was unusually interested in this legendary, masculine and handsome young man, but he still reiterated the same old tune, saying that China's management capabilities were insufficient and that the dangers of banditry in the Northeast would put the Middle East Road in danger and hinder the actions of the interventionist forces. . (This old guy also knows about the current banditry)
Zhang Hanqing hesitated at this, and said forcefully: "Mr. Stephen only knows one thing about the current situation in the three northeastern provinces, but he doesn't know the other. On the surface, the banditry in Northeast China seems to be a prairie fire, but our army has gone through several major The large groups of bandits have been wiped out, while the small groups have been scattered and huddled in the deep mountains and old forests, unable to survive. The Fengjun has firmly controlled all the large and medium-sized cities in the Northeast and the vast countryside about the size of Alaska in the United States. The eradication of banditry is just around the corner. Because our suppression of bandits is based on railways, the security force along the railway along the Eastern Road is the strongest and the control is effective. If the so-called condominium theory is implemented, chaos will reappear, and for the war in the Far East The impact is extremely detrimental.”
Lieutenant General Hoshino was unmoved. He looked at the problem purely from a military perspective. He said: "It is an established policy for multiple countries to jointly intervene in the Russian Far East. The Chinese government has also signed a mutual defense agreement with our country. As allies, we must show due sincerity. Considering that in the near future, the troops of various countries will have to pass through the Middle East. Straight into Siberia, the huge logistical supply cannot be handled by China. To avoid any mistakes, the committee must control the Middle East Route. Of course, as a guarantee, once the war in the Far East is over, Japan will first withdraw entirely from the Middle East Route and will never break its promise."
Bullshit! If the Japanese soldiers do not retreat, what can anyone do? This is what Japan did in history, and once it was done, Japan was delayed until Japan surrendered. The government, private sector and the world were helpless against his behavior - if he fought, he would not be able to defeat him at all, and it would cause even greater trouble and bring great harm to Japan. The Japanese justifiably use their words to enter the talks, but they simply use various excuses to evade.

On the busiest stone street in Linjiang City, there stands a large and splendid house, which looks like a wealthy family at first glance. However, a row of thick-armed forsythia trees next to the stone lion in front of the door cannot hide the nouveau riche nature of the owner.
Facing the sunset, a beautiful and graceful girl took the hand of a middle-aged man and said pleadingly: "Daddy, can we not do it this time?"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then resolutely broke away from her hand and said decisively: "Boss Hu gave such a high price, it is worth the risk. Besides, I know there is a small road that is inaccessible and no one will know about it. Qing'er, daddy promises to do this only once, and then he will take you to the pass to avoid the limelight and never come back."
He said bitterly: "I can't let the boy named Zhang go smoothly. I can't vent my hatred!"
The girl opened her lips, slightly wanting to persuade her, but she didn't know how to speak. She sighed and said, "What happened that time, the young marshal didn't specifically target us in advance, and he finally let dad go home safely. This is better than anything else."
The middle-aged man said bitterly: "I gave up my family wealth, but only gained the reputation of being a rich man. I can't bear this tone. Trading with Boss Hu is a mutually beneficial thing. I get the money and keep Mr. Hu and Mr. Hu." The boy named Zhang will fight again." One hundred thousand catties of grain and three thousand catties of bacon, although not much for five thousand people, are barely enough to deal with them for a month. Considering the reality of food shortage in the mountains, these items are enough to make desperate bandits survive. To describe their role as providing help in the snow can no longer be summarized.
So Lu Yonggui offered sky-high prices for the food: one yuan per liter of grain and five yuan per liter of bacon. Excluding the purchase price and negligible transportation costs, one trip can net a net profit of nearly 90,000 yuan. In addition, Lu Yonggui used gold bars for trading, which was an additional profit in the Republic of China where gold was precious and silver was cheap.
Marx once said: "If 10% of the profits make people crazy, 50% of the profits make people desperate, 100% of the profits make people desperate, and 300% of the profits can make people trample all laws in the world." Refer to Rice in the Early Republic of China The value of a pound is more than four cents, and this business has a profit of twenty times. The middle-aged man was reluctant to let go. It was only when Boss Hu was in trouble that he had such a God-given opportunity. This risk was worth taking.
Looking at more than a hundred carriages stumbling away, the girl was filled with worry.
It is not difficult to guess that the middle-aged man is Huang Fengting, and the girl is his daughter Huang Wanqing.
Huang Fengting was listed as a model by Zhang Hanqing during the New People's Land Reform, and Zhang Hanqing also got the opportunity to ransack his home. At that time, the large amount of money gave the Guards Brigade, which was in financial difficulties, a glimmer of hope and survived the most difficult years.
After Huang Fengting was released, he was no longer in the mood to stay in Xinmin: his prestige had been lost, and the land had been basically confiscated and all his family property had been confiscated, so he sold his house at a low price and left Fengtian Province with his family. At that time, Zhang Hanqing and his son had no control over it. I went to Jilin to make a living. He originally started out as a grain trader, and the land was just a means of accumulating grain. In Jilin, the official grain business has been squeezed out, so we have no choice but to focus on those who can make the most money and trade grain with bandits.
It was also because of his extraordinary ability that the more he made the fuss, the more he became more and more noisy. Later, he gradually got in touch with Lu Yonggui. Because of his boldness and courage, he was admired by Lu Yonggui. Later, he monopolized the transaction into the mountains. All grain dealers who went into the mountains to sell grain were done through him, so he restored glory in a short period of time.
During the critical moment of food shortage, Lu Yonggui still managed to send someone to contact Huang Fengting, and thus started another adventure. In the first adventure, Huang Fengting wanted to avoid huge fees; in this time, Huang Fengting wanted to earn huge fees. The former failed, and the luck or misfortune of the latter is unknown, but it’s unlikely that he would fall into the hands of the same person twice, right?
Although Huang Fengting was extremely familiar with this road, he still carefully avoided possible pedestrians and chose to walk at night. There were no people on the mountain road at night, but now the bandit-suppressing army was exchanging fire with the bearded men. Most people were afraid to avoid it. How could they dare to walk into the bandits' den?
Huang Fengting had already discovered the defensive path of the Guard Division. At the risk of beheading, one cannot act hastily. However, as luck would have it, Zhang Hanqing issued an order to expand the patrol circle that day and sent members of the cavalry regiment for mobile patrolling. Although the huge convoy had good cover in the night, the inevitable neighing of horses and occasional human voices still alerted the cavalrymen of a cavalry regiment in the distance.
Watching carriages heading into the mountains with your own eyes, no matter what they are, they are worth paying attention to. The cavalryman was extra cautious and waited until the carriage convoy was far away before quickly reporting to the company headquarters. The cavalry company commander did not dare to neglect and quickly contacted the garrison. According to the description, the commander of the regiment on duty sent a battalion to follow the cavalry company in a light march to pursue the horse-drawn carriage convoy.
Speaking of?Time is long, but in the Guards Division, which always values ??efficiency, reaction time is short. Due to the heavy load, the four-legged cavalry company caught up with the convoy first.
Since the young marshal from Fengtian City came to Linjiang and promulgated the iron law of "decapitating the enemy", the civilians who transported the grain would not have been willing to take the risk of beheading if it hadn't been for the huge sum of money promised by Boss Huang. Single business. Although there have been many transactions before, they were all in "peaceful" times.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????hurt into chaos, human lives are like grass and grass. Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, if you really fall into the hands of the bandit suppressing army, life or death will not be up to you. Therefore, after taking the risk to place an order, the group was extremely cautious. When the hoofbeats of the cavalry company got closer and closer, even the groom, who was initially taking a chance, did not dare to delay any longer, threw down the reins and ran away.
But Huang Fengting, the leader, was very calm. After experiencing life and death torture, he developed courage. Unlike the grooms running around, he listened quietly to the movements of the cavalry company and already had a plan in mind.
In order to block this group of people, the cavalry company used a fan shape to cover them up. Hearing the sound of horse hooves behind them, almost everyone ran forward based on instinct, giving the cavalry company a chance to come back. Only Huang Fengting, taking advantage of the darkness, went forward to meet him. When he got close, he hid behind a stone, bypassed the large group of people, and then tiptoed further away. He probably would never hear his footsteps again, so he rushed home. .
"If he escaped directly, no matter how magical Zhang Hanqing was, he wouldn't be able to catch him. There are so many people of all kinds coming and going, and in a modern society with so much information, there are still so many so-called wanted criminals who have slipped through the crackdown, not to mention the Republic of China, where the ID card system was very imperfect in the early 20th century?
However, Huang Fengting thought of his lovely and well-behaved only daughter, who would be his support for the rest of his life, and Huang Wanqing would never fall into the hands of the bandit-suppressing army. He wanted to get in front of the Guard Division and bring his family to birth. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Zhang Hanqing was furious when he learned that the cavalry patrol had discovered a huge grain transport team delivering grain to the mountains.
Enough time has been wasted in suppressing bandits. In this unpredictable era, if I don't use the knowledge I have as soon as possible, I won't be able to find this store in this village. The efforts of the past two years have only allowed my father to take a high position in the Northeast ahead of schedule, and his military strength has increased a bit compared to the official history, but it has not yet reached the level of qualitative change, and there is still a big gap with Japan.
What is worrying is that due to his own efforts, although he stole the limelight and interests of the Japanese in the Northeast, the relationship between the Fengcian and the Japanese has become worse than in the official history. Who knows whether the Japanese will Therefore, the trend of history is changed, and there is a mutiny like September 18th in advance? Although he will definitely rise up to resist, resisting under weak conditions requires a lot of sacrifices. If you can afford not to make this kind of sacrifice, I'd better not do it until my brother is strong enough.
In the past three months, Zhang Hanqing worked hard at night and day, spending a lot of effort on suppressing bandits, carrying out land reform, and consolidating grassroots political power. He has done enough for the country, the nation, the people, and the Northeast. In the past three months, he had not slept a single day, and he had not worked hard not only to plan the present but also to conceive of the future. At this crossroads of victory and defeat, there are actually people who dare to commit crimes despite the injustice of the world! He ordered Yan Wenhai, the chief of the military law section: "Go and see which businessmen are seeking money rather than their lives! If it is found out, shoot them all!"
Yan Wenhai is well-known among the Lao Feng clique as a selfless man. When he was the military judge of the 27th Division, he enforced the law like a mountain and became famous far and wide. But he offended a lot of people because of this. He was also from Xiaoshan, Zhejiang, and was repeatedly ostracized in the military, but he never changed his mind.
Zhang Hanqing, however, admired this style of work very much and took it directly from Zhang Zuolin as the military law section chief of the Guard Brigade and later the Guard Division. The Guards Division and the First Division can maintain good military discipline, and Yan Wenhai is indispensable.
Yan Wenhai worked vigorously and resolutely, and quickly found out the cause of the incident.
After learning that the person in charge was actually his old acquaintance and "benefactor" Huang Fengting, Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but think of a girl in a white fur coat who was beautiful, refined and shy, and his body, which had been suppressed for a long time, suddenly felt aroused. move.
Soon, a cavalry force of one hundred and ten people flew away from the military camp. After all, a two-legged man cannot outrun a four-legged horse. Zhang Hanqing, who was leading the team, ignored the inconvenience of walking on the dark night road and drove his horse faster. Yan Wenhai, who accompanied him, couldn't help but secretly wonder: Ordinarily, the young commander would not be like this when such a thing happened. If you are nervous, it is enough to send a team of cavalry. You can catch a businessman in the dark and with the dignity of a young commander, and you are not afraid of getting hurt!
You must know that riding horses in the dark is a very dangerous thing for cavalry.
When Huang Fengting, who was sweating profusely, appeared in front of Huang Wanqing in embarrassment, she was waiting with the light on. Her father ignored the dissuasion and repeatedly opposed the young commander, which made her feel troubled for no reason. The handsome young man with the evil smile on his lips has been appearing in front of her for two years. Whether it was the idea of ????sacrifice out of desperation at the beginning or the mentality that she no longer resisted, she regarded him as an important man in her subconscious. No matter Zhang Hanqing knew it or not, got it or didn't get it.
Looking at her father panting, Huang Wanqing's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong, daddy?"
Huang Fengting didn't bother to explain, and said hurriedly: "Quick, quick, pack some valuable things, we'll leave right away." He is old, and he has been walking on that mountain road for a long time, right? I wonder if the guys who were caught confessed themselves? I guess those mud-legged guys are unreliable. Fortunately, the bandit-suppressing army has arrived overnight, right? He hurriedly woke up the woman who had fallen asleep and kept urging her to leave quickly.
??I don’t want this month’s rent for the house deed and a prosperous shop on the street. I don’t want any heavy belongings. I only need some soft notes and large gold and silver items. The three of them walked out of the bedroom with their hands full of belongings, and were about to open the courtyard door. The wife, who was still in shock, reached out to pull the door latch. In the rush, she scattered the jewelry all over the floor. When they were about to bend down and pick it up shakily, Huang Fengting roared: "These No more, you still want to die!"
A clear voice sounded: "If I had known now, why bother at the beginning?"
This sound was like thunder in Huang Fengting's ears, and even Huang Wanqing was banging, but her chest was beating. That person is here!
The door was knocked open, and two groups of heavily armed bandit-suppressing troops filed in holding torches. Huang Fengting was stunned. His exhausted body could no longer withstand the tremendous mental pressure. He slowly sat on the ground and gasped for air. His wife was also frightened to the point of confusion. She was trembling and wanted to help him, but Huang Wanqing helped him up first.
Yan Wenhai said loudly: "According to the order of the bandit suppression army headquarters, Huang Fengting secretly sold grain and beards. The amount was huge, and everyone got the stolen goods."??Arrest immediately. He will be shot according to law after the canon punishment is clear. This order! "
Two soldiers stepped forward to clamp Huang Fengting, and one of them tied him tightly with a rope. At such a young age, Huang Fengting was no match for the wolf-like officers and soldiers. He was unable to struggle and was too shocked to speak. Although his wife didn't quite understand the whole story, she could hear the word "shoot to death" clearly. When she saw Huang Fengting being carried out, he thought that someone was about to take action, so he wailed and cried and passed out.
Huang Wanqing's face turned pale, and she met Zhang Hanqing again on such an occasion. She knew the seriousness of the incident, and she had tried to dissuade her father. But no matter what, he is his biological father and cannot bear to be executed by Zhang Hanqing's personal order. It is too cruel! She desperately held on to her father's arm and wouldn't let go no matter what.
Zhang Hanqing waved his hand to stop the soldier's movement. Huang Wanqing looked at him helplessly, with tears in her eyes, unable to say a word.
When Zhang Hanqing saw her silent but charming look, most of his previous excitement suddenly dissipated. He said somewhat narrowly: "Miss Huang, I didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances again."
Yan Wenhai didn't even blink, and he could see that the young marshal and Huang Wanqing had some unclear relationship. Fengtian City knows about the romantic young marshal. Looking at beauties under the lamp, the more you look at them, the more nourished they become. Huang Wanqing was always beautiful, and she looked even more beautiful under the light of the torch.
The young marshal’s eyes are not bad, he thought.
After the unpleasant experience of serving in the 27th Division, Yan Wenhai also gained some experience and gains in his new position. At least he was not allowed to interfere in the personal affairs of his superiors. And no matter how strict the military law is, it is best not to involve the superiors, especially the young marshal who is his benefactor and the highest military and political person in charge besides the old marshal. While directing the sentry, he left with Huang Fengting and others: "Young Marshal, I will take away the prisoners first, and I will leave a row of troops for you to drive."
Whether to kill or release depends entirely on the young commander's decision. This evil man will do it himself. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 351 Real Estate Registration System

After all, farmers are relatively poor, and squeezing juice from them is still not enough to meet the huge financial expenditure. Moreover, farmers are the foundation of the country. If they are pushed into a hurry, it may turn into a large-scale popular uprising, or force good people to become bandits. In that case, the gain outweighs the loss. .
"Fengtian coupons" are a good thing, but after the first few issuances were forced to subscribe, the public who had not seen any benefits became far away from this thing - it was said that it would be redeemed with interest after ten years, but ten years later How long is a year? The warlords of the Republic of China changed quickly. Who knows whether the government will still be there by then? Besides, the government’s credibility seems to be insufficient if it is always forced, doesn’t it?
Is there a tax source that is long-lasting, that the people have to pay, and that the government benefits greatly? The answer is yes. Based on his experience in time travel, Zhang Hanqing naturally thought of property tax. Think about the development of real estate in China at the time. It was a cruel thing: Seeing the housing prices soaring, buyers still queued up all night and had to go through the back door. They had no money and would rather borrow a loan. They couldn't wait to get even a copper from their relatives and eight aunts, so they borrowed money. I don’t hesitate to eat chaffy vegetables to live my life. If this power is forced out, why worry about not having money?
How to do it? Could it be that the government is also speculating in the real estate business? As soon as this thought lingered in my mind, I immediately threw it away.
How can you do this? How can the government be so short-sighted on issues related to the well-being of all citizens? The government is not a developer. It just makes a fortune and runs away. It also has to think about the rest of the people's lives! Housing prices are piling up higher and higher, enriching businessmen and hurting those in need. In the end, the collusion between government and businessmen caused housing prices to rise like a rocket, and the national regulations were like adding fuel to the fire. Think about the time when I had to go bankrupt to pay the down payment just to get a wedding house. The family that had just enjoyed the fruits of reform and opening up could instantly return to before liberation, except for having a covered house. This kind of thing cannot be done.
It seems that the government launched a property tax pilot just before time travel, but the effect was not obvious. However, the U.S. tax system places great restrictions on real estate speculators, so very few Americans make a fortune doing this. Why? It just makes you feel that there is no benefit in the short term. Because people have a way: from transaction to move-in, you have to pay taxes, so the holding cost is very high. It means selling in the future, because it is just needed and it is difficult to predict a big rise, so we are very cautious.
To make a sum of money from real estate without killing the goose that lays eggs or controlling huge profits from transactions, proper taxation is required, provided that housing transactions are transparent.
But from ancient times to the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was no housing authority or housing book in China. When ancient people bought and sold second-hand houses, the main proof of property rights was the house deed. People did not transfer ownership in real estate transactions, but simply handed over the house deed and that was it. What is a property deed? It is nothing more than a purchase contract, with the name of the original owner written on the contract. If you want to transfer the property, you can only transfer the property deed: the buyer and the seller sign a new property deed, then go to the government office to pay the deed tax, have the county magistrate stamp a red stamp on the property deed, and then tear off the stub part of the property deed and leave it in the county government office as a Just file it.
If you want to transfer the property deed, you must pay deed tax. This rule lasted from the Northern Song Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. The deed tax rate has been changing, with a minimum of 2% (when Song Renzong ascended the throne) and a maximum of 9% (when Kangxi pacified the Three Feuds). Coupled with various additional taxes, it can account for up to 16% of the purchase price. In other words, if you buy a house for 1 million, you may have to spend 160,000 yuan just to transfer it!
In order to save this money, ancient people often did not transfer ownership when buying a house. For example, Xiao Ming sold the house to Xiao Qiang this year, Xiao Qiang sold the house to Xiao Hong twenty years later, and Xiao Hong sold the house to Xiao Fang thirty years later, and so on. Half a century later, if you look at the name of the owner on the property deed, it is still Xiao Ming who has long since passed away!
If the real estate transaction is not settled, it will be very troublesome to encounter a house purchase dispute. If Xiao Ming's descendants are aggressive and ask Xiao Fang for a house, Xiao Fang will not be able to produce any evidence. Therefore, from the Northern Song Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, successive governments have been persuading home buyers to transfer property. This can reduce disputes and increase the government's deed tax revenue.
The problem is that transferring ownership is not necessarily safe. The ancient government did not have computers, and the file management was extremely chaotic. The county magistrate could be replaced every two or three years. If the new county magistrate was a fool, it was very likely that the house buyer would keep the house deed stub for record (Qing Dynasty) Called "the end of the contract") was lost. The stub was lost, and the unscrupulous descendants of the new owner lost the deed. From now on, there is no proof. Who do you think the house belongs to? Whoever has the strongest fist belongs to him! Browsing through "The Qingming Collection of Ming Gong's Letters" and then "Three Words and Two Pats", real estate disputes are everywhere, and the history is endless, which makes parents' heads as big as a fight. The key reasons are chaotic transactions and property rights. Unknown, the reason is that file management is too backward.
Until the Republic of China, the founding father Sun Yat-sen called for real estate registration in order to clarify property rights and reduce disputes. Municipal governments in various places have responded to Mr. Sun’sHe is well versed in making cars, and he is adept at all kinds of tax evasion and leak-stopping methods, which puts even old officials to shame. The Young Marshal's plan, in the future, as the Fengcheng system develops, this system must be carried out unremittingly, and those who hear it feel a chill again.
All this may seem overbearing and unkind, but in fact, it contains the experience and hard work of Zhang Hanqing’s countless thoughts in his previous life. In an era when real estate is tied to everything, in an era when listed companies make less than a house in a year, in an era when a family can't save a down payment after working hard all their life, real estate in the four cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen is worth half of the GDP of the United States. In that era, people of that era could deeply understand the long-term thinking of the young commander.
Houses are for living in, not for speculation None of the great countries that have risen in history were born because of high housing prices. When everyone gets involved in real estate instead of industry, when real estate capital hijacks the national economy, and when the richest people on the wealth list all started their careers in real estate, it is a tragedy for the country.

" Selling houses will not make the country strong. Increasing strength must rely on honest efforts.
Through agricultural taxes and profits from the sale of surplus grain, as well as various IOUs that do not need to be cashed for the time being, the autonomous government has obtained nearly 450 million yuan in capital for agriculture alone. This is a concentration of almost all the surplus in Northeast China, far exceeding the same period. Total revenue of the central government excluding customs! With money, the industrial breakthrough envisioned by Zhang Hanqing began.
The first thing is the manufacturing of tractors - this is the first choice for all industrial construction. With it, it became possible for an agricultural population to cultivate more land. There is still vast land in the far northeast that is more than twice the current cultivated land for development. Once it becomes a reality, think about what a fortune it will be! Moreover, the manufacturing of tractors does not seem to be very difficult today, and the conditions at that time also made its large-scale manufacturing and use possible.
Since ancient times, many people have tried to use mechanical power to replace human and animal power in farming. But it was not until Europe entered the age of steam engines in the 19th century that the birth of powered agricultural machinery became possible. In the 1830s, some people began to study the use of steam vehicles to pull agricultural machinery for field operations. However, the steam engine traction vehicle that could be built at that time (the predecessor of the steam tractor) was like a water locomotive. Even if it did not get stuck in the field, it would compact the soil so tightly that it would be impossible to cultivate at all. In 1851, British pioneers Faras and Smith used steam engines to achieve mechanical farming for the first time. Some people regard this as the beginning of agricultural mechanization, but their method at that time was to place the steam engine at the head of the field and use a wire rope to pull the plowshares plowing in the field from a distance.
Later, with the advancement of steam engine manufacturing technology, a miniaturized steam engine appeared. It was installed on the vehicle chassis to drive the wheels, so that it could drive from the edge of the field into the field and directly pull agricultural machinery. This was the birth of the tractor, the French tractor. Alabart and R.C. Parvin of Illinois, USA invented the earliest steam-powered tractors in 1856 and 1873 respectively. Tractors at that time were very similar to early steam engines, but had more horsepower and traveled slower.
The original tractors were heavy, expensive, inconvenient to use, and often required several people to operate. They were suitable for farming in vast fields and were difficult for individual farmers to afford. In 1889, the Chadar Engine Company in Chicago, USA, manufactured the world's first gasoline-powered tractor. Internal combustion engine agricultural tractor - "Baga" tractor. Because the internal combustion engine is relatively light, easy to operate, and has high working efficiency, its emergence has laid the foundation for the popularization and application of tractors. At the beginning of the 20th century, countries such as Sweden, Germany, Hungary, and the United Kingdom manufactured tractors powered by diesel internal combustion engines almost simultaneously. During World War I, labor shortages and rising agricultural product prices due to the war promoted the development of farm tractors. .
From 1910 to 1920, there was fierce competition between tractors powered by steam engines and internal combustion engines. The latter showed greater superiority and gradually eliminated the former. Today's tractors all use diesel internal combustion engines.
Zhang Hanqing was the first person in China to rule out this kind of controversy. Although oil production in China is difficult in this era, most skilled workers believe that developing tractors powered by internal combustion engines will be more expensive. However, when he imitated the first tractor, he categorically stated in a prophetic tone that the use of diesel engines would be the development trend of tractors in the future, and the reality of oil shortage would soon be overcome.
Therefore, Xue Guangsen, who produced China's first domestic diesel engine, was invited to the Northeast with a large sum of money and became the originator and master of various types of diesel engine research.
Xue Guangsen was born in Longjiang, Shunde in the fourth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1865). At the age of 17, he went to Hong Kong to work in a shipyard and learned excellent mechanical skills. Xue took the opportunity to overhaul the machinery of the British oil tanker "Qinglong" anchored in the Pearl River. He managed to completely disassemble the diesel engine on the ship, draw drawings, and measure the data. After repeated trials and improvements, he successfully developed China's first diesel engine in 1915. Domestic diesel engines were soon put into production in batches, which aroused the surprise of people in the foreign industry.
Although the diesel engine was developed, it could not be effectively used in China at that time. Therefore, Xue Guangsen's research can only amuse himself, which is a huge distress for real scientists.
And he couldn’t help but be tempted by the prospects described by the Northeastern Marshal: a tractor factory with an annual output of more than 100,000 units, the prospect of widespread application, and a good thing that would benefit the country and the people. So he came to Fengtian with a thick set of drawings.
Zhang Hanqing took the lead in investing, and under the leadership of Xue Guangsen, Fengtian No. 1 Diesel Engine Factory was successfully established. Soon, a batch of 40-horsepower tractor heads left the factory smoothly. After testing, they ran stably and had excellent performance, which paved the way for the mass production of tractors.
There are two types of tractors: wheeled and tracked. The earliest tractors used iron wheels, which were not only heavy and easy to get stuck, but also oftenCan crush plant roots. In the development of wheeled tractors, people initially widened the steel wheels to increase the ground area and reduce the pressure, but the effect was not good. Later, they came up with a method of adding a rubber protective layer outside the steel wheels. After the birth of automobile tires, people successively used solid and pneumatic tires for tractors. However, car tires are not completely suitable for tractors. First, the grooves of car tires are too shallow and thin. Second, people have found that tractors drive better on soft ground when their tires are under-inflated than when they are fully inflated.
This problem has troubled the industry for many years. It was Zhang Hanqing who "first" proposed using a large-size, high-pattern, low-pressure pneumatic rubber tire - it was not produced until 1932 by the American Philsdown Tire and Rubber Company. . Later evaluations were that it greatly improved the driving and traction performance of wheeled tractors, and was considered the first tire that was truly suitable for agricultural tractors.
Because tires cannot be manufactured by the current industrial capacity of the Northeast, the French Michelin company, which invented the detachable pneumatic rubber tire, built Fengtian City with its automobile tire technology with heavy funding from the Northeast Autonomous Government. A tire factory specializes in the production of high-spun low-pressure pneumatic rubber tires proposed by Zhang Hanqing as a supporting factory for tractor tires.
After the Michelin company of French brothers Andre Michelin and Edouard Michelin invented a removable pneumatic rubber tire for automobiles in 1892, this invention affected the entire world. In the past, tire punctures that only specialized repairmen could handle can now be repaired by ordinary people in a quarter of an hour. However, at that time, rubber tires specially manufactured for tractors were still being explored, and no company or individual in the world dared to put this unknown theory into practice at great cost. However, Zhang Hanqing confidently stated that such tires can provide a suitable support for the development of tractors, and promised to immediately provide an initial investment of no less than 5 million yuan——you must know that every autonomous government | No money was easy to come by, and 5 million yuan was not a small figure in France at that time. With his love for new technologies, Edouard Michelin personally guided the construction of Fengtian No. 1 Tire Factory and successfully built the first In order to approve such tires, Zhang Hanqing personally named them "Han" brand. First, it emphasizes the first great invention of the Chinese in industrial society. Second, it may be taken from Zhang Hanqing's "Han" character. Of course, this is only a guess by later generations when they study the history of this era.
As early as the 1830s, shortly after the birth of the steam automobile, some people envisioned equipping automobile wheels with “tracks” made of wood and rubber so that heavy steam automobiles could walk on soft soil. However, the performance and use effects of the early tracks It was not good. It was not until 1901 that Lombard in the United States invented the first crawler track with good practical effect when developing tractor vehicles for forestry. Three years later, California engineer Holt applied Lombard's invention to design and manufacture the "7" steam tractor, which was the world's first crawler tractor. On November 24, 1904, the tractor was first tested and later put into series production. In 1906, the tractor manufacturing company founded by Holt manufactured the world's earliest crawler tractor powered by a gasoline internal combustion engine. This tractor began mass production the following year and was the most successful tractor at the time. It became the first tractor developed in the UK a few years later. The prototype of the world's first tank.
Considering the terrain of Northeast China, both crawler and wheeled tractors have been fully developed. This is because tractors can replace livestock and become the main power source of the farm except during busy farming periods. In normal times, they can be used as an important alternative to private mechanized transportation.
The successful use of tractors made Northeast China the first region in China to move towards mechanization of agriculture. With it, the progress of pioneering the Northeast is getting faster and faster, making it possible to build the "Great Northern Wilderness" in a few years. As part of the industrial development in modern history, China's tractor industry has not fallen behind foreigners for the first time.
Comparing foreign countries, it was not until the late 1940s that tractors were used on a large scale in North America, Western Europe and Australia. After that, tractors were promoted and used in Eastern Europe, Asia, South America and Africa. Northeast China received attention twenty years ahead of schedule. And large-scale development cannot but be said to be a revolution of considerable scale.
Not only the manufacturing of tractors, but also the supporting tires, engines, gears, bearings, rubber and other technologies have also been improved accordingly. These have laid a solid foundation for the industrialization of Northeast China, and its long-term benefits are obvious.
In Zhang Hanqing’s conception, having a tractor for every household in rural areas is a necessary prerequisite for realizing agricultural modernization. There is relatively little land in Fengtian. In Jilin, especially in Heilongjiang, in the southeast and northeast, due to the extreme lack of population, the average land owned by each person can theoretically reach as much as a hundred acres. It is unimaginable to rely on manpower to cultivate such a vast land, which is also one of the reasons for the backward agricultural construction in Northeast China over the years. Primitive animal power and labor make the productivity of cultivating the land in Northeast China roughly the same as that in Guanhai. What is the use of having more land? This is probably one of the reasons why the Qing government during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties had no idea that the lands in the Far East were being swallowed up by Tsarist Russia.
Seeing with their own eyes the superiority of tractors in farming, the common people also sincerely like this machine that emits black smoke, and one person is worth ten strong laborers. However, its price is not beyond the financial resources of ordinary people's families. I can only sigh with hope.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, when Chen Bulei, dressed in civilian clothes, finally appeared in front of Zhang Hanqing, ecstasy was the most appropriate way to describe his mood.
“Come quietly, his low-key style almost puts Chen Brai in the historical picture. His simple living habits, the noble mentality (or enlightened attitude) of a scholar who regarded money as dirt, and his outlook on life that did not benefit himself or his relatives and friends made him gain the most important and almost unconditional trust from Chiang Kai-shek, who relied on him the most. He is a well-known Machiavellian.
He also has the deep-rooted morality of traditional Chinese intellectuals that "a scholar will die for his bosom friend", just as he was buried with the Chiang Dynasty in official history. Regardless of political right or wrong, he brought the personality charm of the old-style literati to the extreme. This is one of the reasons why Zhang Hanqing admired him very much - he was a trustworthy person.
So Zhang Hanqing welcomed him with an open mind. He ordered the door of the Marshal's Mansion to be opened and went out in person.
Wearing cloth clothes and shoes, with a cloth bag on his back, Chen Brai is no different from the people in the Northeast who go out to the market. If it weren't for the fortitude and reputation on his face (which has been deeply ingrained in Zhang Hanqing's heart), it would be difficult to imagine that this is the unique Mr. Bray.
Zhang Hanqing cheered as if meeting an old friend and said: "Mr. Bray! I finally waited for you to come - sir, did you come alone?"
Although Chen Bui was stunned, he said humorously: "Young Marshal has your destiny, don't you dare to disobey him. However, Bui Bui was worried. After all, 'A harmonious person outweighs the few; a person with a good reputation can hardly live up to it'. As time went on, I'm just afraid that I will disappoint the young marshal. So Bray is cautious and leaves his family in Shanghai. If he is driven back by the young marshal in the future, he can still have a place to stay in Shanghai."
Zhang Hanqing laughed, took his hand and said: "I think you should listen to what you said in reverse. You want to come over first and have a look. If I, the young marshal, don't live up to my name, it would be easier for you to leave alone, right? "
The two hit it off immediately.
Later, Zhang Hanqing briefly talked with him about the organizational framework of the People's Party and the topics to be studied, and sincerely hoped that Chen Bulei could become familiar with the relevant theories - in fact, only some of what he knew and remembered were explored by future generations. After the so-called common sense things in the modern political textbooks are published, we can lay a solid foundation for this. Of course, the title given to Chen Brai is also very big: Director of the Central Policy Research Office of the People's Party and Editor-in-Chief of the "People's Party Daily".
Surprisingly, the degree of understanding of the Chinese national conditions and the deep grasp of the Chinese pulse he founded by the People's Party he founded, Chen Blei also felt that the young young handsome was unpredictable. Originally conceited, he began to worry about whether he could be qualified for the position of director of the policy research office. After all, he was a non-party person before and was not familiar with party affairs. Of course, he should be familiar with the position of editor-in-chief of the People's Party Newspaper. , but when they first met, Zhang Hanqing gave him such a big gift, which still shocked him.
It was not just these two positions that made Chen Braile lose. Zhang Hanqing also promised to personally be his introducer for joining the party and would give him the title of Central Committee member after the election. Since this was the beginning of the founding of the party, basically all party cadres, especially senior cadres, were recruited from above. Zhang Hanqing was not prepared to implement intra-party discipline at this time, so he started with centralizing power.
This was an honor that was bestowed upon him. Later, Chen Bulei learned that only the three elders of the Fengxian clan, Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen, and Wang Yongjiang, were Zhang Hanqing's personal introducers to join the party. He also had a mentality that "a scholar will die for his confidant." . He began to work hard to integrate into the young marshal's team and win everyone's respect with his superb character and dedicated attitude. This is a story later.
When Zhang Hanqing ceremoniously introduced Chen Brai to his subordinates, it was inevitable that there would be a commotion. This middle-aged man with no striking appearance, no political achievements, no prominent reputation, and no ability to restrain a chicken, was entrusted with such an important official position by the young marshal. This cannot but be surprising. Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing had mentioned their shortcomings to them before. He knew that writing work was their weakness, and he didn't touch his own cake, so he didn't have much resistance to Chen Brai's arrival. He just felt hesitant——he deserved less. A handsome and polite corporal?
Zhang Zuolin, on the other hand, was very open-minded. Not only did he take the time to meet with Chen Brai in person, but he also supported the important task entrusted by Zhang Hanqing.
At that time, most of the warlords took it as their mission to expand the army and expand their territory. As for recruiting talents, they mostly focused on military generals. After all, conquering the world still depends on a large number of generals who are good at recruiting and fighting. However, within the Feng faction, a situation gradually formed in which both civil and military forces were given equal importance. This was true for the young commander and the old commander as well.
Because Zhang Zuolin knew that the world could not be ruled by military men, under the influence of Zhang Hanqing, he had established a military and political group with him as the core. Militaryly, the four chariots of Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen, Zhang Hanqing, and Wu Junsheng each had their own merits, forming a defensive trend; politically, the separation of military and political affairs made the role of civil servants basically in one hand. In this case, the soil for the separatist rule of military commanders was further weakened, reaching the state of "ruling military affairs with culture" advocated by Zhang Hanqing.
The United States will have the world's first-class military power in later generations, but the democratically elected president and secretary of defense of the United States can firmly control this behemoth, and its system has great merits. This system was often used as a reference in the so-called "Danzi" countries in later generations, and it maintained the stability of the country to a certain extent. This system was called "task-based command law."
The core idea of ??the so-called "task-based command law" is to define the authority of civil and military officials. Civilians decide "whether to fight and why to fight?" while military attachés provide guidance on "how to fight" at the tactical level. In any case, the power to wage war cannot be determined by soldiers. This is determined by the bloody thinking of soldiers. History has proven its shortcomings.
For example, the notorious Japanese militarism has repeatedly led to irreversible situations in history by a small group of junior officers who "spontaneously" "overcame their superiors". Although this cannot erase the memory of the emperor and the Japanese government at that time | Responsibility, but the appearance of such a freak was something no one could have imagined at the time.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Under an unsound political system, elected civilian officials are naturally no match for military generals with heavy troops.
Therefore, whether Zhang Hanqing separated the military from politics or the military from police, it was all to separate the interests of the military and local governments. The task of an officer is to train troops in peacetime and obey political needs in wartime, but not to override political decision-making.
This explains Zhang Zuolin’s efforts to elevate the status of Wang Yongjiang, the leader of the Wenzhi faction, in the Feng clique. As the vice chairman of the Northeast Autonomous Government and the governor of Fengtian, Wang Yongjiang is Zhang Zuolin's political spokesperson, and his actual status within the Fengtian clique far exceeds that of Sun Liechen and others, although Sun is Zhang's die-hard assistant.
In addition to Wang Yongjiang, other Wenzhi faction members such as Liu Shangqing, Zhang Huilin, and Wang Shuhan all gained the trust and reuse of Lao Zhang. Basically, Lao Zhang handed them all the administrative and financial power that he relied on for survival.
Moreover, in normal times, Lao Zhang also made great efforts to make friends with literati. For example, Liu Zhe, who once served as an advisor to the Jilin Military Governor's Office, President of the Jilin Provincial Senate, and is currently an advisor to the Senate and the President in Beijing, can all be regarded as a scholar and a grass-head king with a green forest background. Making friends with Zhang Zuolin is really a surprising thing.
Zhang Hanqing recruited talents from Beijing and Shanghai, and Zhang Zuolin did not let him be the best. His vision of employing people was no longer limited to the Northeast. Pan Fu, who was known as the "talented scholar of Jiangbei", had already accepted his invitation.
Pan Fu was born in Shandong and was a prominent figure at that time. In the early years of the Republic of China, he served under Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu. Cheng submitted several petitions for military pay but was not approved, and later handed over to Pan Fu to take charge of the matter. He changed 18 words in the book, submitted it, and the salary was immediately allocated. This incident caused a sensation and earned him the reputation of "Jiangbei Talented Man".
Because of his close relationship with Zhou Ziqi, the governor of Shandong, he was transferred back to Shandong soon after to serve as the Taoist of Quanye Road and was promoted to the director of the Shandong Industrial Department. It not only advocates the establishment of industry, but also encourages the development of processing industry, agriculture, aquaculture, etc., and puts forward suggestions for creating high-quality products to compete with domestic and foreign countries. In November of the same year, Pan Fu was appointed as the general manager of the Shandong Nanyun Lake Dredging Preparatory Office, which was also responsible for Shandong Water Conservancy. The preparatory office was located in Jining. In 1916, Pan Fu was transferred to Vice President of the National Water Conservancy Bureau.
Not only has he experienced many fields in officialdom, he has also jointly established a number of enterprises such as Jinan Lufeng Cotton Mill, Jining Jifeng Flour Mill, Jining Electric Lighting Company, etc. It can be said that he is a capable official and a man of action. The Northeast New Deal particularly needs such comprehensive talents in the industrial, commercial and administrative fields, so Zhang Zuolin threw an olive branch and hired him as the director of the Northeast Industrial Committee and the director of Fengtian Industrial Department to focus on industrial construction.
As a pole in Zhang Zuolin’s military group, Zhang Hanqing is the only person who can politically intervene in Northeastern affairs. In fact, he not only intervened in administrative affairs, but actually dominated all aspects of Northeastern construction.
This greatly increased his power, but it also caused some jealousy and took up most of his energy. In this unpredictable era, he needs to spare time to prepare his next big plan. Therefore, maintaining the current strength more effectively has become his top priority. Although he had a lot of talents under him at this time, and after a period of running-in, even though the main cadres were responsible for party affairs, politics, military, and economy, Zhang Hanqing still believed that it was necessary to formally establish his own team and straighten out the relationships in all aspects in order to This established a status within the Fengxian.
So with Zhang Zuolin’s consent and after in-depth discussions with his generals and advisers, Zhang Hanqing decided to establish the “Young Marshal’s Office” to coordinate the relationship between the party, the military and the government. This office temporarily has two offices, two offices and four directors, which serve as the power channel for him to lead the People's Party and the party's military remotely.
The first room is the guard room, with Tan Hai and Jiang Huanan in charge of the inner and outer guards respectively, with Tan Hai as the director; the second room is the adjutant's room, with Zhu Guangmu as the director; the first room is the military and intelligence agencies, shared by Lin Wei and Gao Jiyi. , Lin Wei is the director; the second office is the party and government personnel agency, led by Chen Brai.

Chapter 368 New Situation between China and Russia
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Because of the embattled international environment, the Soviet Russian government was eager to open the door to China, the great eastern country. After all, the Sino-Soviet border was long and the people who were bullied felt the same. Holding together for warmth was the instinctive reaction of people trapped in the severe cold. However, since the Central Committee of the Beiyang Government has always taken the principle of resolving the issues of returning Kurun and Chaktu as the basis and then holding a meeting on Sino-Russian relations, Yulin, the representative of the Soviet Far East, came to Beijing for consultations. As a result, he went to Shenyang to discuss with Zhang Zuolin.
The official history of this matter was that the five conditions proposed by Youlin were unacceptable to the central and local governments. As a far-sighted politician, Zhang Hanqing tried his best to promote peace between the three eastern provinces and Soviet Russia. So when Youlin came to Shenyang, he only met one more person than Zhengshi, but he got a domino effect.
This person is Zhang Hanqing.
Youlin still stubbornly put forward five seemingly unacceptable conditions: the "Sino-Russian-Mongolian Treaty" is still valid; Russia sends 500 troops to be stationed in Kulun (Note: Today's Ulaanbaatar); Mongolians related to independence | No liability will be pursued; China will compensate Russia for the military cost of sending troops to Coulomb 6 million; the China-Eastern Railway will be jointly protected by troops from both countries.
To sum up, these five points actually have only two meanings: Russia's interests in Mongolia must be maintained, and Russia's interests in the Middle East must be satisfied.
It seems that the economy of Soviet Russia has indeed been affected, so much so that even in extremely difficult circumstances, it still did not forget the Middle East route that could bring huge benefits. However, it still refused to give up its attempt to split Mongolia, not caring that it was still in a difficult situation. Surrounded on three sides. Sometimes Zhang Hanqing also thinks that this is what makes Lao|Maozi's ambition different from others: one word: "ruthless!"
But Zhang Hanqing was the first and probably the only "Knowledge of the Soviet Union" in China. His "knowledge" not only understood the entire ins and outs of his regime from its birth to its demise, but he also understood extremely clearly that the Soviet Union was facing a huge political and economic crisis at this time.
The Soviet regime, which was just established, faced threats from the White Army, which was unwilling to withdraw from the stage of history, and the foreign intervention forces, which were jointly composed of Britain, France, the United States, Japan, Italy and Belgium, and could not tolerate the birth of a socialist country. It was facing political and military difficulties internally and externally. Whether it could win the final battle, no one was fully sure at that time; economically, the Soviet Union was almost at the end of its rope and almost completely devastated.
During the Russian Civil War from 1918 to 1921, Lenin sent telegrams to all parts of the country in order to ensure that the Soviet regime received sufficient supplies of supplies to the greatest extent possible and at the same time try to directly transition to a communist society: "There is no food. The red capital is suffering from famine. And on the verge of destruction I ask you, in the name of the Soviet Socialist Republic, to support Petrograd without hesitation."
So in June 1918, the Supreme Council of National Economic Affairs adopted the policy of implementing "war communism". This policy mainly includes: compulsory expropriation of all grain from farmers except for subsistence (i.e. surplus grain collection system), nationalization of all large and medium-sized enterprises, state monopoly of all foreign trade activities, prohibition of commodity transactions and implementation of planned rationing system, strict control of workers management system, where strikers are immediately shot.
Wartime communist policies soon led to economic collapse. By 1921, Russia's heavy industry output was only 20% of what it had been in 1913 before World War I. From 1918 to 1920, Petrograd lost 75% of its population, while Moscow's The population also decreased by 50%. The surplus grain collection system also severely dampened farmers' enthusiasm for farming and became the main cause of future famines.
“Soviet Russia, which was already on the verge of collapse, is still in its current state and is still demanding the final benefits from China. This shows China’s status in the hearts of the great powers at that time! But Zhang Hanqing ignored his anger and would be beaten if he fell behind. This is a historical fact. To get out of this predicament, only China becomes stronger. According to the current situation in China, its main task is to make the Fengcian faction stronger as soon as possible.
Regarding the representatives of the Soviet Russian government, Zhang Hanqing did not need to make excuses at all. He pointed out bluntly: "Since Soviet Russia has expressed its desire to give up all aggressive territories and unequal treaties, then:
1. The originally unequal treaty "Sino-Russian-Mongolian Treaty" needs to be abrogated, and both parties can make a new treaty based on the principle of equality and reciprocity. However, stationing troops in Kulun violates China's sovereignty and cannot be discussed;
2. The Soviet Union sent troops to Kulun to clean up its border security. The Chinese government also spent troops and money to clear out the White Russian army in China. Who will pay the bill?
3. The Middle East Railway has been under the jurisdiction of China. Fengjun has the ability to ensure the normal operation of the railway, so there is no need to worry. But it also guaranteed: 'For the shareholders of the railway, those who hold the company's bonds, and foreigners who have debts to the company, the China Eastern Railway Supervision and Administration Office should bear the responsibility for the debts'.
4. Once the two parties sign an agreement, Fengjun will guarantee that it willp; Zhang Hanqing knew it well, but he wanted to eliminate the unstable factors in the north as soon as possible, and believed that he had already obtained substantial possession rights. There was no need to argue about such superficial matters when the country was not yet strong.
Because the old Russian forces withdrew from Harbin, the Northeast Autonomous Government gained control of Harbin Customs. Today, since China's economic center of gravity is in the south, its importance is not felt; but at that time, Harbin Customs was one of the most important sources of tax revenue in northern China, and its influence on the national economy was no less important than that of Shanghai, Tianjin and other places. .
The acquisition of the Middle East Road by the Fengxi faction is a major financial source; the acquisition of Harbin Customs is another important cash cow. In order to stand out among the Beiyang warlords who "changed the king's flag at the top of the city" and take control of Beijing and unify the country according to the ambitions of Lao Zhang and Xiao Zhang, it is unimaginable without such strong financial support. The plan for Northeast economic development and the first pot of gold were unearthed from here. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 370 Peace Negotiation

Hailar’s ??geographical location is very important: it stands on the Hailar River, not far from the Ewenki Autonomous Banner at the confluence of the Hui River and the Yimin River to the south, and on the north bank is the Chenbalhu Banner formed by the Hailar River and its tributaries. The two cities are guarded from the north and south, with fertile land for cultivation and broad strategic depth.
Not far down the river is Manzhouli, the largest city on the Ergun River, the dividing ridge between China and the Soviet Union. Manzhouli borders Outer Mongolia to the west and Soviet Russia to the north. It is also the starting point of the western part of the North Manchuria Railway. Hailar connects the east and west and is the rear area of ??Manzhouli.
The General Headquarters of the Kwanwa Foreign Army is located at the intersection of the Yimin River and the Hailar River. Barodlov stood at the mouth of the river. The first thing he saw was countless Chinese soldiers and war horses on the other side, marching toward the east of the city in high spirits. When he came to the assembly, he secretly gasped: Fengjun seems to have put in all his efforts this time and is determined to win. Unexpectedly, the progress of the soldiers after the Northeast New Deal was so obvious. It changed the impression that Fengjun should be a gangster and march in a disorderly manner. Look!
A sentry crossing the river spotted the Russian. With an order, several black guns were immediately pointed at him. Barodlov, who was once an army major, immediately discovered that what these soldiers were holding were all the latest imitation Japanese 1912-style standard Mauser rifles. Their exquisite workmanship was much better than the Russian version of the rifles used in Russia. Even such a crude Russian version of the rifle was only half equipped in the Soviet army!
The Soviet Russian representative suppressed the shock in his heart, explained his intention in fluent Chinese, and asked to meet with the Fengjun commander.
Sun Liechen and Major General Liu Yifei, commander of the 58th Brigade of the 29th Division's vanguard force, met with Barodlov in the temporary headquarters before noon. The Russian representative expressed the anger of the Soviet Russian government to the Fengjun government. He said: "According to the Sino-Russian Hulun Treaty, any unilateral action by the Chinese government against Hulunbuir must obtain our consent in advance. Agree. Now, Feng Jun has brazenly launched this war, which is a serious provocation to the Soviet Russian government. We will use all necessary means to defend the country's honor!"
Sun Liechen remained unmoved. He said: "Hulunbuir has been China's territory since ancient times. The military acts according to the orders of the government, not based on the face of your country. I am a soldier, and it is my duty to protect the territory and protect my family. I call for autonomy and independence. , I received the order to use force to stop this behavior!"
Barodlov looked livid and said in a deep voice: "The statement I just got from your Beijing government states that China guarantees the sanctity of the Hulun Treaty. Which government's order did General Sun follow? "
This should be Youlin’s only achievement in Beijing. The situation in the Far East was changing day by day. In order to express its determination to oppose the new Soviet Russian government and still support the old Russia, the Duan Qirui government, which was confused about the situation, not only rejected Youlin's negotiations, but also issued such a statement.
Before Sun Liechen could reply, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the door and said: "The Beijing government of the Republic of China gave up its ownership of Hulunbuir. How could we still obey such a traitorous government? Retaking Hulunbuir is the key to the Northeastern United Provinces. The autonomous government should respond to the request of the whole people and carry out a just war in accordance with the principle of the sanctity and inviolability of national sovereignty!"
Before he finished speaking, a tall and handsome face appeared in everyone's sight.
Sun Liechen laughed and said, "The young marshal is here, why didn't you notify him?"
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said hello to Sun Liechen. Among the generals in the Feng dynasty, the one he respected the most was Sun Liechen.
This old subordinate and comrade-in-arms of his father always takes the interests of the army as his own responsibility. In history, he was loyal to Zhang Zuolin until his death.
During the first Zhili-Fengtian War, Sun Liechen served as deputy commander of the Zhenwei Army. Fengjun was defeated, and Wu Peifu, the Zhili warlord, sent his troops northward with the intention of destroying Fengyuan. Zhang Zuolin was in a critical and urgent situation. Sun Liechen captured Jinzhou alone, resisted the attack of Yuguan, guarded the nine gates, and supervised the battle. For dozens of days and nights, he withstood the attack of the Zhili army and stabilized the situation in the three northeastern provinces. This was an act of making peace between the Zhili and Fengcheng factions.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he saved the Feng clique at a critical moment. Later, on behalf of the Feng clique, he reached a ceasefire agreement with Wang Chengbin, a representative of the Zhili clique, on a British warship in Tianjin.
Sun Liechen held multiple positions and was ill. He stayed in the provincial capital of Liaoning for a long time and could not take care of the military and political affairs of Jilin. He was afraid of delaying the military opportunity, so he submitted his resignation to Zhang Zuolin and guaranteed Zhang Zuolin to be the governor of Jilin and Wang Shuhan to be the governor. However, Zhang Zuolin did not give permission and only allowed him to return to his hometown to rest. On April 25, 1924, Sun Liechen died of illness at the age of 52. He had no children in his life. After hearing the news, Zhang Zuolin went to express his condolences. When he arrived, he hugged Sun Liechen's body and cried bitterly for half an hour!
At this time, Sun Liechen was in his prime. He was unmarried all his life and treated Zhang Hanqing like a minister and a father. He used his strong influence in the Northeast Department to influence Zhang Hanqing's various activities.When Zhang Zuoxiang was in office, he allowed Japan to launch the September 18th Incident and ordered the soldiers of the Peking University Camp to "Hold on and die!" This was actually the source of the earliest "non-resistance" policy. He later served as the Minister of Finance and the Governor of Jilin in the Puppet Manchukuo. He is an out-and-out Han (Manchu) traitor.
??????????????????????? However, he had studied in the Tokyo Zhenwu School and the Japanese Army Cadet School, and was also a relatively popular official in the Northeast. He did have his own expertise in military administration. He was an important member of the "foreign student faction" together with Yang Yuting and Yu Zhen.
In order to contain Xicha's role, Zhang Hanqing and Sun Liechen discussed using the 8th Independent Brigade, Artillery Regiment, and Cavalry Regiment originally stationed in Hohhot as the basis, and transferring part of the new army division that was being reorganized to expand and form the Hung Yen Provincial Security Commander. Department, organized into 2 standard brigades. Xing Shilian is the commander and Jing Dewen is the chief of staff.
Xiqia’s classmate Xing Shilian was in charge of the military. This would not make him suspicious, but could also separate military and political affairs and weaken his power. Xiqia was far away from the center of Japanese power and had no chance. Presumably, there should be no chance to cause harm. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Literary affairs depend on military preparation.
On the same day, Zhang Zuolin took the oath of master in Shenyang. He spoke impassionedly, facing Chinese and foreign reporters, and directly criticized Duan Qirui's government as a traitorous government, stating that the Northeastern United Provinces Autonomous Government would not recognize anything the Duan government had done that was contrary to China's sovereignty, independence and sovereignty. acts of territorial integrity.
On the same day, the elite 28th Division of the Fengjun Army, led by Ji Jinchun, moved along the Beijing-Harbin Line to the Shanhaiguan Line. The 16th Army Division, led by Zhang Jinghui, moved from its base in Pingdingshan to Gubeikou. It was adapted by the Liaoning Security Command. Two new troops, the Tang Yulin 5th Division and the Malongtan 10th Division adapted from the Heilongjiang Security Command, crossed the Laoha River from Yuanbao Mountain to attack Rehe.
??Three ways to advance, the momentum is like breaking bamboo. However, the rapid mobilization of Fengjun, the clever timing, and the speed of mobilization made the Chinese people shine. But if they knew that Zhang Hanqing had been preparing for this for a long time, they didn't know what their reaction would be.
The central government responded quickly. The next day, the Duan Qirui government banned the association and sent a nationwide call to remove Zhang Zuolin from his duties as patrol envoy to the three northeastern provinces.
He said in the declaration: "Zhang Zuolin, a bandit from Guandong, has usurped the high position of the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces, but has no intention of serving the country and the people. He has repeatedly carried out militaristic actions, wasting people and money. He appoints private individuals, treats the national charter as if it is nothing, and sets up private military numbers. His true nature as a warlord can be seen! The Paris Peace Conference was a rare humiliation since the Republic of China. It was actually due to the weakness of the country. If this happened, wouldn’t it be the only tragedy for our people? On this occasion, we should unite as one and unite to deal with the outside world. Unexpectedly This person is cowardly and has no regard for the overall situation, causing internal strife and causing hatred among relatives and friends. He is so hateful! It has been decided by the Government Affairs Conference to remove him from the post of patrol envoy to the three eastern provinces and governor of Liaoning. The various honorary titles awarded to him will be deprived of him. Military and political personnel in the northeastern provinces should stay in their respective positions and there will be no interference. If the civil and military officials from various places can seize the opportunity and resist their chaos, the central government will not hesitate to reward them."
He also came up with the idea of ??dividing the Feng Faction and announced the appointment of Wu Junsheng, who was not his direct lineage, to replace Zhang Zuolin as the patrol envoy to the three eastern provinces. Other important officials of the Feng Faction were also arranged, such as Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen as deputy envoys, and Wang Yongjiang as the military governor.
However, his performance could not affect Zhang Zuolin's status. Zhang Zuolin sent a telegram to the whole country the next day, denying any statement made by the Central Committee, and sent Sun Liechen to supervise the army at Shanhaiguan. On the same day, Wu Junsheng turned on the electricity. Expressing firm support for Marshal Zhang’s just actions: “Wu Moujian followed Zhang’s orders.”
On the same day, the Fengjun General Headquarters also issued a telegram signed by senior civil and military officials such as Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang, Wu Junsheng, Zhang Hanqing, Wang Yongjiang, Zhang Guogan, Liu Shangqing, etc., refusing to acknowledge the Central Committee's order and unequivocally announcing support for Zhang Zuolin's decision. . Other Fengcian officials also called in to express their stance, resolutely following Marshal Zhang's lead. For a time, the Fengcun side became a stage for expressing their allegiance.
When the Anhui army and Feng army were fighting fiercely on the front line of Shanhaiguan, as support, Ji Jinchun sent a group of elite troops to bypass the front on May 7 and stab the Anhui army from behind. The Anhui army was defeated and retreated to the Qian'an front line.
The rapid advance of the Fengjun army was due to its strong strength and excellent equipment, but also to the fact that the Anhui army had lost all morale under the public opinion condemned by the whole country, which led to the collapse of the government army in the first battle and consecutive defeats in subsequent battles.
With the cooperation between the Feng clique and the Beijing opposition, the anti-government demonstration became more and more violent. On the 6th, students in Shanghai went on strike; there were also rumors that railway workers would go on strike together, and the situation was extremely urgent.
The long-suppressed public sentiment exploded. On May 7, major cities across the country went on strike, went on strike, and went on strike to support the patriotic movement of Beijing students. Shanghai workers began a massive strike in response to the students. Workers at the No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 Cotton Mills of Shanghai Nissho, the Rihua Mills, the Shanghai Mills and the Commercial Press all went on strike, with more than 20,000 workers participating.
On May 16, the Shanghai Federation of All walks of life was established to oppose the opening of classes and markets, and united with other regions to inform Shanghai of the strike proposal. Through the three-strike movement in Shanghai, more than 150 cities in 22 provinces across the country have responded to varying degrees.
Under the overwhelming military pressure of Fengjun, the three-pronged Anhui army collapsed. On May 12, Tang Yulin defeated the Chifeng garrison of Jiang Guiti, the commander of the Rehe capital of the Anhui system, and occupied Chifeng first. His troops moved south along the Laoha River and attacked Ningcheng, threatening Chengde. The Malongtan tribe moved north and successively occupied the Xilingol League. Tian Zhongyu, the commander-in-chief of Chahar in Anhui, was defeated like a mountain. He lost all the banner counties north of the Lightning River, so he retreated to Duolun and joined forces with Jiang Guiti to defend.
On May 15, Zhang Jinghui also defeated the Anhui army Ni Sichong's troops at Gubeikou and occupied Chengde. Then they moved towards the Chaohe River area, pretending to attack Miyun, but actually wanted to use the main force to capture Fengning, so as to cover up Duolun's retreat and achieve a plan of attacking from both front and rear. Xu Shuzheng, the commander of the Anhui Northwest Frontier Force who was urgently transferred, saw through Fengjun's plan and took the opportunity to defend Fengning and play chess with Zhang Jinghui on the bank of Yunwu Mountain. However, all this was just a matter of time after the Jijinchunbu on the southern line broke through Shanhaiguan on May 16.His far-sighted statesmanlike appearance has caught the attention of those who are interested, and his image of being tough externally and a patriotic fighter has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese people.
Chen Brai was recognized by the party for his outstanding publicity and organizational skills, which in turn made Zhang Hanqing's ability to recognize people widely known. Only Zhang Hanqing knew that deep in his sharp hair, those few masterpieces full of righteousness and strength were integrated with Chen Brai's many revisions.
The People’s Party also rose to the forefront of the world because of its outstanding organization, propaganda, and united front capabilities. Her indomitable fighting spirit for the country, the nation, and the people inspired many aspiring young people across the country, and was hailed as a banner guiding the Chinese revolution. For the first time in modern Chinese history, the "May Fourth Movement" was signed without Unequal treaties will go down in history forever. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 377 Teasing and scolding

Although Duan Qirui restored Zhang Zuolin's "reputation" and spared the three provinces of Guan Nei, the two men finally tore off the disguise on their faces. However, Zhang Zuolin needed to digest the fruits of victory and had no time to overthrow Duan Qirui by force for the time being. Duan Qirui was also disgraced by the Paris Peace Conference and kept a low profile for a long time and needed time to reunite people's hearts. The outcome of the battle between the two sides was silent. He retreated and ultimately failed to start the fight.
But since then, Duan Qirui and his Anfu parliament have become the target of abuse by the Chinese people. People who cannot forget the shame of the Shandong issue have begun to use pens to challenge his authority as the real prime minister.
On September 15, 1919, Shanghai's "Republic of China Daily" published an article titled "Explanation of the Anfu Genealogy Table", which imitated the form of a family tree and listed more than a dozen government dignitaries into a transnational five-generation family tree. Yu laughed and scolded It fully revealed the dissatisfaction and indignation of public opinion. He jokingly called the then President Xu Shichang the "illegitimate son" of the Japanese, which caused a nationwide sensation.
The so-called "Anfu faction" is because Duan Qirui ordered his cronies Xu Shuzheng, Zeng Yujun, Wang Yitang and others to establish the Anfu Club in Anfu Hutong at the beginning of last year. The new Congress was established with the power of this faction. Therefore, this Congress is also called the "Anfu Congress" Or "Anfu Government".
The Anfu government secretly elected Xu Shichang as president, implemented pro-Japanese policies, and exchanged rights and interests such as railways, mines, and forests for huge loans from Japan to expand its military power, arousing public anger. During the "Paris Peace Conference", China, Britain and the United States used this excuse to sell off China's interests in Shandong, which led to the "May 4th Movement". After the movement broke out, the "Republic of China Daily" ridiculed the central officials in this context.
This genealogy signed "Xi Zu" shows that "Japanese" is placed in the highest position "ancestor", implying that Japan is the controller of the Chinese government, and the Beiyang government is the descendant of Japan;
Xu Shuzheng is Duan Qirui’s most trusted confidant, and he is also the top general of the Anfu Department. He planned to form the Anfu Club and the Anfu Congress, and held real power in public to preside over the sale of a large amount of sovereignty in exchange for Japan's support, so it was designated as "self";
Duan Qirui is the actual manipulator behind the Anfu government, so he is the "father";
President Xu Shichang was elected through manipulation by the Anfu National Assembly, "even if a son is born from an informal marriage, he is an illegitimate child";
Ni Sichong and Zeng Yujun are Xu Shuzheng's right-hand assistants. They share blessings and difficulties, and are positioned as "brothers" and "brothers";
Zhu Shen, Wang Yitang, and Fang Shu were loyal and dedicated to Xu Shuzheng, and they were positioned as "zi";
Gong Xinzhan and Zhang Hu Qiyan followed the trend and joined the Anfu Clan to seek promotion and fortune, which "fits them as godsons and godsons";
Liu Enge and others are subordinate to his son in terms of status and authority, and "all have the hope of inheriting and dividing the family property, so they are named Sun Yi";
Yuan Rongsou came here as a defector, his status was lower than Liu Enge and others, and he was called the "step-grandson".
Such a "family tree" depicting the Anfu family vividly reflects their political divisions, and the irony is amazing. For a time, the sales of "Republic of China Daily" increased significantly, and the Anguo government became a laughing matter throughout the country.
In ancient times, insulting the emperor was a "heinous" and "disrespectful" act that seriously violated the emperor's personal dignity. Not only did he lose his head, but he also implicated the nine ethnic groups. Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng and other politicians were naturally furious and even said that the Republic of China Daily must be shut down and Shao Lizi and Ye Chuqian be sentenced to prison terms.
"Republic of China Daily" was founded in Shanghai in January 1916. The newspaper office is located at No. 12 Henan Road in the Concession. It is the main propaganda publication of the Chinese Revolutionary Party in the country. The organizer is Chen Qimei, the general manager Shao Lizi, and the editor-in-chief Ye Chuqian. Its supplement "Awakening" was one of the four major supplements during the "May Fourth" period. Shao Lizi was born in Shaojiamao, Taoyan, Shaoxing in 1882. His first name was Jingkui, his courtesy name was Zhonghui, and his pen name was Lizi. He was a famous politician and educator in modern times. Ye Chuqian was born in Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province in 1887. His original name was Shan Ye and Zongyuan. He was a famous Nanshe poet and political activist.
To be honest, in the early years of the Republic of China, including the middle period, the freedom of speech was indeed unparalleled in the history of Chinese dynasties. After the "May 4th Movement", the public's consciousness has increased unprecedentedly, which is a great thing for China's reform process and deserves to be promoted. Therefore, when this news reached Zhang Hanqing's ears as a tidbit, he sensitively felt that he could make a big fuss out of it.
The Kuomintang Party organized writers within the party and gathered legal experts in Fengtian to publish articles in Fengtian Daily, known as "Thirteen Essays on the Rule of Law", which greatly supported the actions of the Republic of China Daily and This incident and its handling rose to the level of governing the country and won the resonance of hundreds of domestic media.
In his argument, Zhang Hanqing believed that regardless of right or wrong, allowing people to curse in the streets is a symbol of government progress, and it is stipulated in the Constitution of the Republic of China.?Discussing freedom is reflected in this aspect. As long as it is not slander, the government should listen humbly to the people's opinions, correct them if they are heard, and encourage them if they are not. We should not easily offend people who do not know the truth or make one-sided statements, but should guide and persuade them. Because with the advent of the era of big government, the administrative power that was originally divided into three powers has become more and more expanded, while the legislative power is still a rarity in the country, lacking a certain folk foundation, and is completely formed from the top down. In this case, newspapers are the mouthpiece, the voice, the public opinion of the people, and an important form for the people to supervise the government.
“In his view, the president is a human being, journalists are human beings, and ordinary people are human beings. We are all citizens of the Republic of China and have the right to put forward our own opinions on the country’s development, behavior, policies and strategies. The reason why the United States is considered a symbol of democracy is that Americans can curse the president at will. Later, a joke said: "Chinese people think that scolding the United States is patriotic, and Americans also think that scolding the United States is patriotic. In this case, the people of China and the United States finally found a consensus."
??The American President can be scolded by newspapers, Congress, and even the previous president can scold him until he is completely injured. Of course, this kind of scolding is not a scolding of a shrew, but a criticism of his words and deeds. Of course, the president must also show an open-minded attitude, smile and convince others with reason. This is a culture.
This kind of culture existed in ancient China, but it mainly used the introspective behavior of officials as part of self-cultivation. "Old Book of Tang" records that the younger brother of Lou Shide, prime minister of Wu Zetian's time, was sent by the imperial court to guard Daizhou. He bid farewell to him before taking office. He taught his younger brother to be patient when encountering trouble. His brother said: "Someone spit on my face, I just wipe it up myself." Lou Shide said: "It's not enough yet. You clean it up yourself because you want to avoid other people's anger. You should let it go." Only when you do it yourself can you be patient.”
?? Could it be that as society has developed into the twentieth century, the moral and legal views of the Chinese people are not as good as those of the ancients? If a politician does not accept different opinions, it is difficult to believe that he can have a public heart to serve the country and society. Perhaps this kind of ridicule is inappropriate, but after all, it restrains the government to a certain extent and will lay a solid foundation and direction for China's future judicial fairness and independence. In this case, whether the judiciary can represent a neutral third party and independently make rulings on disputes between citizens and government units is the true embodiment of judicial independence. As a powerful government unit, whether it truly respects the independence of the judiciary is reflected in whether it can lower its stature, sit calmly in the dock or the plaintiff's dock like ordinary people, and accept questions from the judiciary. In this sense, the presidential defamation case of the Republic of China Daily is of symbolic significance.
Zhang Hanqing’s words were like a spring breeze, making both the domestic press and legal circles feel happy. What kind of character is this? How can one summarize such a high and sensible positive attitude towards the media industry? They were impressed by the knowledge and knowledge of this young marshal from Northeast China.

Chapter 381 Entering Mongolia
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Unlike before, it was the first time for his eldest son to lead troops in person. Zhang Zuolin cooperated with Zhang Hanqing in arranging personnel according to their ability. It was rare for the young marshal to find a few people who could be used easily, so he took special care of them. At the same time, he ordered Niu Yuanfeng, the director of the Fengjun Military Supplies Department, to fully cooperate with all the needs of the "Anmeng Army".
At this time, the entire Hung Yen Province and most of northern Chahar were under the control of the Feng army, and the "An-Meng Army" could directly send troops to Kulun on the eastern front hundreds of kilometers from Manzhouli to Aershan.
Hailar is an important place from the east into Outer Mongolia. The Hailar River where it is located meets the Ergun River to the west and flows into Hulun Lake to the south. The river flows westward along Hulun Lake, passing through the border town of Kerlensumu, and then turns sharply north to join the Kerulun River in Outer Mongolia. The Kullen River meanders westward for about a thousand miles, turns north about a hundred miles away from Kulun (now Ulaanbaatar), and disappears into the desert within a hundred miles. Going west along the river can not only replenish water sources, but also make it less likely to get lost. You must know that currently the only way to enter Mongolia from the interior is a dilapidated official road from Zhangjiakou north to Kulun.
The first stop when entering Mongolia is Bayantumen, which is a county-level "big station" on the Gobi Desert in eastern Mongolia. It's a county, but it's about the same size as a village in the Northeast. The buildings are much worse than our village, and there are almost no roads.
There is a military camp next to the "county seat". There are not many soldiers. There are only more than 200 people. Just these 200 people. Some wear their hats crookedly, some have their clothes draped on their shoulders, some are shirtless, and some have belts open and their pants are loose. The hair is almost exposed, and the expression is basically numb and the eyes are dull, a bit like the expressions of Xu Sanduo and his three brothers before joining the army in "Soldier Assault". They seem to be less energetic than the bandits in China in the old society. This seems to be an army without combat effectiveness, yes, it must be, because their military appearance definitely reveals this.
Of course, such a large number of troops and more cavalry entered Mongolia for other purposes. As "Operation Huang Aunt" came to an end, Zhang Hanqing's focus was no longer on how to win, but on the aftermath. Besides, taking Mongolia is not a problem. The problem is what to do after we take it? How can we avoid the fate of Mongolia in the official history of reconquering, revolting, and eventually separating and becoming independent? His troops are also the seeds of the new Mongolian army in the future, and are responsible for ensuring the political naturalization of Mongolia to China after the war. China has always had a saying of "get it immediately, but not conquer it immediately". However, when Xu Shuzheng tried his best to appease the surrendered Outer Mongolia, he was unable to appease their uneasy hearts, which led to Mongolia still gaining independence two years later.
Are the Mongolian people incompatible with the Han people? Not really. Historically, the Xianbei and Mongolian Manchu and Qing dynasties took control of the Central Plains and then integrated into the Han Dynasty. Later generations of Manchu, Tibetan, Mongolian, Xinjiang, Zhuang, Hui and other ethnic minorities have been well integrated into the Chinese nation. Harmony is like a family, and development complements each other. Chinese Confucian culture told Zhang Hanqing with great inclusiveness: It is not that the Chinese nation is not inclusive enough.
That is another conclusion: some Mongolians are unwilling to be included in the big family of the Chinese nation. For these people, persuasion and comfort alone are not enough; civil governance must be prepared with military force. We cannot be kind to those who are determined to turn themselves into pawns of foreign tribes and separate Mongolia. We should resolutely deport them as they wish and let them get what they want. If they insist on refusing to leave, and act as a stir-up to create reactionary forces and noise in the local area, they should resolutely stop the killings with killing, which may lead to long-term peace and stability.
Another way is to immigrate.
The "Kyakhta Agreement" and a series of previous treaties have made it impossible to immigrate from mainland China to Outer Mongolia. Perhaps because of the vast land and sparse population and low pursuit of quality of life, Outer Mongolians are a bit lazy (in fact, it seems more accurate to use "very lazy" to describe it, but using "very lazy" is suspected of ethnic discrimination, so it is not used). Of course So very poor. So even with such abundant resources, the Mongolians have not become rich. At that time, the population of Mongolia was about 2 million, and by the beginning of the 21st century, it was only 2.5 million. The reason why the population has not increased significantly after nearly 90 years is because the birth rate of Mongolians is extremely low, which is similar to that of Inner Mongolia. The Mongolian people are very different. I suspect that there is something wrong with the diet structure of Outer Mongolia. Otherwise, why do Russians and Russified Mongolians have low birth rates?
Having occupied Mongolia, if you want to hold on to such a large place, you will need a large number of immigrants. Moreover, with so many Chinese people in later generations, the vast territory of Mongolia should be able to alleviate the huge population pressure.
The means of living in Mongolia are concentrated in the hands of a few upper-class people such as Mongolian princes and nobles. They own a large number of pastures and live a life of dreams and dreams. Of course they do not want to change the status quo. Herdsmen without knowledge and culture are unable to transform themselves and survive, and can only become slaves. The reason why the dominant Mongolian upper class has such a strong independent tendency is because a centralized government has always been theirThe insecurities of a privileged life.
After passing through Bayan Aobao County, Wendurhan City, Mulun County, Zhelgalat Khan County, Chenhelmandal County, and Bayan Dragail County - these are actually counties. It's just a small village or a place that is not even a village. Finally, there is no river (the remaining tributaries of the Ergun River go north from here and disappear into the vast desert). There is no incident along the way. Decent resistance may be due to the fact that the eastern part is the vast Gobi Desert, the personnel are extremely sparse, and there is no military and economic value. There is no complete garrison here at all.
In his spare time, Zhang Hanqing also discussed the significance of Anmeng and its impact on the situation in the northwest with several members of the Military Commission. Of course, they had many discussions on this during this long journey. They are still skeptical about Zhang Hanqing's promotion of Mongolia's strategic position to influence Soviet Russia's layout in the Far East, because in their view, no matter how advantageous China's geographical location is now, it cannot threaten the existence of Soviet Russia, but they fully recognize Mongolia's contribution to stability The importance of the northwest frontier also recognized the military strategy of using this place as a springboard to enter the northwest provinces with relatively weak armed forces. At the same time, he was attracted by the young commander's grand ambition.
Zhang Hanqing talked about the contradictions between the Zhili-Anhui clique, the fragility of Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang regime in the south, and the future glory of the Fengcian clique. He formally revealed to them his preliminary conception of China's current situation: based in the Northeast, encroaching on the Northwest, and threatening North China; using the contradictions between the Zhizhi and Anhui cliques to seize peripheral terrain, then consolidating his strength, and then using the contradictions between the two sides to defeat them one by one. , accomplished his feats in one battle and unified China. During this process, the People's Party will use highly appealing slogans to attract people of insight to complete its leadership of the country.
He talked about the current world situation and predicted changes in the coming period as well as China's response strategy. He mentioned China's determination to achieve military strength through economic development and industrial development, and to use force to drive the Japanese out of China and the Asian continent. All this made these passionate soldiers' eyes widen. What can make warriors feel more passionate than making achievements?
As the first step for China to become stronger, they are full of confidence and sense of urgency to win the first battle into Mongolia. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 401 The Beginning of the Navy
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Because the Soviet Red Army in part of Soviet Russia has already taken control of the situation in Europe, the United States and other interventionist forces believe that the situation is over and that staying in the Far East has lost the meaning of intervention. On January 14, the United States notified Japan to withdraw its US troops stationed in Siberia; China, Britain, France, and Italy also withdrew at the same time, and planned to complete the withdrawal on April 1. Only Japan, which has huge vested interests, expressed opposition.
Can it not object?
Japan has already had ambitions for the eastern territory of Soviet Russia. At the end of the 19th century, it formulated the policy of expansion of the "Greater Japan", pointing out that the territorial scope of its expansion was "the west——Siam, coastal China, Mongolia, Manchuria, Korea, Amur Oblast and Maritime Province; the north—— -Sakhalin, Kamchatka, Belin and Kut provinces”. To realize this national policy, Japan must take Sakhalin Island and Maritime Province as its own on Russian territory.
The most important reason for coveting the Russian Far East is the economic plunder of the Russian Far East. According to the vision of the Japanese Empire's strategy: "The first place to realize the base of continental defense of the 'Great Japan' should be the coal and iron mines, oil springs, fish products, etc. in the Russian eastern Siberia region. Only by occupying such treasure areas , fixed in the region of eastern Siberia, Japan can board the springboard, and then jump from here to the forefront of the world to realize the policy of the Great Japan."
Driven by this national policy, Japan took the opportunity to step up its aggression against Russia's eastern Siberia region. The Russo-Japanese War was the product of this idea. After the war, Japan acquired a large area of ??territory south of 50 degrees north latitude of Sakhalin Island, and Japanese fishermen were able to operate fisheries in the Sea of ??Japan, Sea of ??Okhotsk, and Bering Sea along the Russian coast.
But the Japanese’s desire to go north is far from over.
The outbreak of the October Revolution provided an opportunity for Japan to send troops to Siberia. Japan tried to invade the Soviet Far East under the pretext of maintaining order in the Far East and preventing the spread of the Soviet revolution.
Japan has stepped up its economic plunder while expanding its military. Japanese capitalists, with the help of the government, took advantage of its armed intervention in the Far East to flood Siberia with cheap goods. Military trains or Red Cross trains often came from Vladivostok laden with Japanese goods that had nothing to do with the needs of the Japanese army or the Red Cross. It is recorded in the book "Japan": "In 1918, when a railway was damaged, it was discovered that twenty-one of the twenty-nine military trains were loaded with various goods other than military supplies." It can be seen that Japan's economic impact on the Far East dependence.
Russia is a fighting nation, and Japan’s sweeping plunder inevitably aroused strong resistance from the Soviet Russian people. After the guerrillas shelled the Temple Street Consulate, on May 27 of the same year, local guerrillas set fire to Temple Street City, killing a total of 384 Japanese personnel in the fire. This was the "Temple Street Incident". For this reason, the Japanese government decided to increase its troops again, and the situation in the Far East became confusing again.
This time Japan’s troop surge is different from the past.
Before, there was a pretense of "maintaining the security of the Far East" as a member of the Six-Nation Far East Intervention Force. Now with the withdrawal of the armies of the other five countries, this status is gone. However, this is not a problem for the shameless Japanese government. In its second declaration to the Far East, it explained the reason for the Japanese troops’ presence: “The political situation in Siberia has affected Manchuria and Korea and endangered Japanese nationals. Therefore, it is inconvenient to withdraw troops and must Manchuria and Korea are out of danger, the lives and property of Japanese nationals are safe, and freedom of transportation is guaranteed by the Russian government, so that we can withdraw our troops to Siberia."
Regarding the reason for the increase of troops instead of reduction, the Japanese government issued a statement saying that it was in retaliation for the "Temple Street Incident". As a demonstration of its promise, the Japanese government sent troops to occupy the northern part of the Russian Sakhalin Island and obtained the mining rights for oil, coal and forests in the northern part of the Sakhalin Island as compensation.
Normally, the new round of conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union has nothing to do with the Republic of China government. However, the Japanese insisted on getting China involved because they mentioned that they wanted to ensure the security of Manchuria.
Manchuria is Chinese territory, what kind of security do you want Japan to guarantee? Isn’t this obviously creating a vested trend in public opinion? The central government of the Republic of China was still unambiguous on this matter, protesting: "Your country refers to Manchuria and Korea as the time for retreat from Siberia. If you find that Korea is in alliance with Japan, your country should not I ask, but Manchuria is part of the three eastern provinces and one of our provinces. How can we allow such a continuous record? It is really contempt for our country's sovereignty, and we hereby protest!"
Zhang Zuolin also took this opportunity to reach into the Jiang Defense Fleet. In the name of the commander-in-chief of the security of the three eastern provinces, he asked the Jiang Defense Fleet to cooperate with the Feng army in exercising its responsibility to defend the country, in order to observe its political attitude.
At that time, the Chinese navy was still under the unified jurisdiction of the central government. As a local government, the Fengzhi did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world to eat these few warships that although they seemed to have weak backgrounds, they were not small. Because the navy is the symbol of the country. Moreover, the Chinese navy has long been dominated by the Fujian clique, which is in the EastIf the command of the North Navy wants to change hands, it depends on the wishes of Navy Chief Sa Jinbing.
At this time, after more than a year of hard work, the Jiheijiang Defense Preparatory Office has built an administrative framework, and the Jiheijiang Defense Headquarters is ready to be launched. As the founder, Wang Chongwen was the natural candidate for commander. When setting up the staff team, Shen Honglie took office as expected.
Before the northbound fleet entered, Wang Chongwen reported to the Navy Headquarters to change Maotong Company's merchant ships "Jiangning", "Tongchang" and "Jiangjin" to shallow-water gunboats "Jiangping", "Jiang'an" and "Jiangtong" respectively. No. 6 was borrowed from the China Eastern Railway Administration and was renamed "Liji". Together with a coastal defense gunboat, two shallow water gunboats and an armed tugboat from the fleet heading north, they form the core of the Jihei River Defense Fleet.
But the construction of the navy is not just about buying a few warships. Its shore facilities, communications, logistics supplies, equipment maintenance, etc. all require money. The government of the Republic of China must be poor. It has already provided sufficient resources to convert several merchant ships into shallow-water gunboats, and subsequent investment will inevitably be stretched. Moreover, with the subsequent evolution of China's political situation, Anhui, Zhili, and Fengcheng successively took over, and the navy, which was originally one of the symbols of national sovereignty, also began to divide internally. Naturally, it lost interest in the poor "fleet" of the Kyrgyzstan-Heilongjiang Defense Fleet. focus on.
So Wang Chongwen faced pressure from Zhang Zuolin from the beginning.
His pressure was invisible: Zhang Zuolin proposed to use generous treatment and increasing capital investment to grow the fleet in exchange for its loyalty to him. On this issue, Wang Chongwen, as the fleet commander, was opposed to Shen Honglie as the staff officer from the beginning.
Wang Chongwen insisted on the view that the fleet was a navy and tried his best to resist Zhang Zuolin's intentions. However, the well-being of his men depended on the three eastern provinces. A group of people represented by Shen Honglie believed that the Jiangfang Fleet, as a local fleet, naturally cannot emphasize autonomy like the Yangtze River Fleet. It must accept the dual management of the navy and the local government, otherwise its life will be very difficult. This This view is supported by many people.
Shen Honglie was favored by the Zhang family and his son, and he was able to establish a good relationship with the original four ships of the northward fleet by providing them with a 500,000-yuan certificate of nomination. In addition, Chen Shiying serves as the consultant of Zhang Zuolin's newly established "Water Security Brigade" Preparatory Office and the "Director of the Northeast Aviation Police Preparatory Office". Chen's prestige and connections in the northbound fleet are enough for Shen to gain a foothold. Therefore, although he was a staff officer, he was able to control half of the Jiangfang fleet, competing with Wang Chongwen as the commander.
It is expected that the jurisdiction of the "Water Security Brigade" will almost overlap with the waters of the Jiang Defense Fleet, and it was destined to deal with the Jiang Defense Fleet when it was first established. Zhang Zuolin was now rich, so he ordered twenty 50-ton frigates and gave them to Chen Shiying to train Northeast China's own naval talents.
Because Zhang Zuolin had to pay attention to the impact if he wanted to join the Jiang Defense Fleet, and the scale of this fleet was too small, far from the scale that Zhang Hanqing expected to be on par with the army, so Zhang Hanqing repeatedly asked Zhang Zuolin to start a new one. The "Northeast Aviation Police Office", the leading organization of the "Northeast Water Security Brigade", was established under such circumstances.
Zhang Zuolin, who was deeply harassed by the Japanese, had long hoped to have a natural buffer to block the Japanese from penetrating into the Fengcian territory. After the Tumen River Estuary was controlled by the Fengcian, the situation had improved for him. Through the blockade of the Tumen River, the Japanese, who were once all-pervasive, can now only enter and exit through Anton and a few other places that are actually under Japanese control.
After the establishment of the Jiang Defense Fleet, the possibility of entering the Northeast from the long river boundaries of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri Rivers was greatly reduced, and there was no need to worry about the Japanese using any excuse to stir up trouble within Jilin. This made Zhang Zuolin begin to pay attention to the development of water power. He originally suffered from lack of talent, but now that Chen Shiying is under his command, and he suddenly has almost endless money to spend, he suddenly wants to do something big.
Therefore, he added a "Northeast Aviation Police Office" in addition to the eight major offices of the patrol mission, responsible for the management of the "Northeast Water Security Brigade". Its essence should be similar to today's water police station. However, the power definition of the "Northeast Aviation Police Office" is very large. Marine police, fisheries, shipping, and ports are all within its jurisdiction. Chen Shiying, who was born in the navy, serves as the director of the aviation police department and the consultant of the "water security brigade", so he naturally turned this water police station into an organization similar to the navy.
"But the navy is a money-spending service. Just the docks, the operation of machines, the supply of logistics, and the training of technical personnel are a bottomless pit. Not to mention that the Northeast is so poor that it has never even seen a decent warship. There is a long way to go to build a decent navy.
But since then, Chinese warships have entered the inland rivers of Heilongjiang and began to patrol and protect the northern boundary river, which is a qualitative improvement compared to before. Between the white mountains and black waters in the northeast, steam-armored Chinese naval ships began to appear, and the system entered an era of having rivers and defenses.

Chapter 402: Sympathy for the Same Suffering
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Time has entered the ninth year of the Republic of China, that is, after 1920 AD. When governments around the world are easing their relations with China, Japan has changed its attitude. At the beginning of the new year, the Japanese government demanded that the Shandong issue be discussed directly with China, bypassing the League of Nations, and at the same time it prevented the large banking consortium formed by the United States, Britain, France, and Japan from investing in Northeast China to facilitate Japan's full control of Northeast China's finances.
The Shandong issue was the trigger of the May Fourth Movement. The Chinese people who have experienced this ideological baptism have awakened and realized their own strength. Japan's so-called request to directly discuss the Shandong issue with China is nothing more than relying on its strong muscles and unwillingness to make it more difficult for it by the intervention of Britain, the United States and other countries. In order to gain the support of the Japanese, the Anhui government has formally accepted the Japanese envoy Obata's request.
“ In this way, the people of Shandong are first of all dissatisfied.
Since New Year’s Day, Jinan students have used various forms to oppose the government’s weakness: speeches, plays, and leaflets, which are likely to become more and more violent. The government ordered students not to interfere in politics. Jinan police banned students from performing in plays, which caused conflicts and seriously injured more than ten students.
The next day, teachers and staff in various schools in Jinan stopped working in anger. When the news came, all provinces came together to express support. A new round of market strikes, class strikes, and strikes began to brew, and there was talk of "suppressing Japanese goods." However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China ordered all provinces to prohibit the suppression of Japanese goods. goods.
Not only that, the Ministry of Transport also signed a telecommunications loan contract with Japan's East Asia Industrial Co., Ltd. two days later, with an amount of 15 million yuan, to show the Chinese government's determination to have good relations with "friendly countries". When the news came, Zhang Hanqing was the first to send a message, resolutely objecting, "This government, which is so shameless, will definitely not leave without strong resistance." He was the first to set off a cry against the Anhui clique government.
The reason why it is so angry is that in addition to the Shandong issue, Japan refuses large banking groups such as the United Kingdom and the United States to come to the Northeast. In fact, it has regarded the Northeast as its own piece of meat and can eat it as it wants. Their hands are stretched too long, so long that they want to strangle the Northeastern Autonomous Government in the cradle.
This is because the South Manchuria Railway and its branch lines are closely related to the affiliated minerals and Jilin——Huining, Zhengjiatun——Taonan, Kaiyuan——Jilin, Jilin——Changchun, Changchun—— The Taonan, Xinmintun-Fengtian, Siping Street-Zhengjiatun and other railways were all built by the Japanese or borrowed money or prepared to borrow money from the Chinese government. In the eyes of the Japanese, they belong to their sphere of influence. Therefore, the new banking group is required to consider this area as outside the scope of investment.
The lack of investment will inevitably slow down the development momentum of the Northeast. In addition, it will also invalidate Zhang Hanqing’s strategy of “using barbarians to control barbarians” by attracting foreign investment to resist Japan. What is even more unacceptable is that the Japanese have nominal control over the Northeast.
He said that if you can’t enter, you can’t enter. What do you think of the Northeastern Autonomous Government? What do you think of China’s sovereignty?
This is very angry, but given the current situation, it is helpless. Duan Qirui faced the aggressiveness of the Zhili Clique. He only had the Japanese government to draw on, so it was inevitable that he would be a little weak to the Japanese's demands. Taking into account the rapid rise of the Feng clan, China has formed a three-legged situation of Zhizhi, Anhui and Fengzhi. Weak branches and strong trunks are ultimately not a blessing to the country.
But Zhang and his son would not "understand" his difficulties. In any case, trading territory and national sovereignty is unforgivable. Moreover, it is even more intolerable for the Japanese to extend their hands to the Northeast.
After the Japanese army once again increased its troops in the Far East, in order to show Japan's presence in the Northeast, on March 10, Japan actually crossed the border to Jilin to arrest Chinese.
At this time, both Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing knew that although the Fengxuan was strong, it was far from being able to challenge the Japanese face to face. On the contrary, the right answer is to continue to hide one's strength and bide one's time, but this anger is really uncomfortable!
Similarly, the Soviet government was also very uncomfortable. In order to avoid direct conflict with the Japanese invaders and to prevent their continued expansion into the eastern part of Soviet Russia and to avoid fighting on the east and west fronts, the Soviet government decided to establish a bourgeoisie in the Far East designed to act as a "buffer" between Soviet Russia and Japan. Discourage the Republic. Separate yourself from Japan and eliminate Japan's excuse for sending troops to Siberia. This is how the famous Far Eastern Republic was established.
Fight for a piece of land to separate this devil from yourself so that you can work with peace of mind. Therefore, the Far Eastern Republic has been tasked with resisting Japanese aggression on Soviet territory since its establishment.
According to the decision of the Soviet Russian government, the Transbaikal Region Workers' Congress was held in Ulan-Ude on April 6, 1920, announcing to the world the establishment of an independent Far Eastern Republic with its capital in Udinsk (Ukraine). Lan-Ude) and later moved to Chita.
Although the establishment of the Far Eastern Republic was in the nature of a republic, it was still inconsistent with the Japanese imperialists' aggressive plan. Japan's main purpose is to maintain the Far East in a state of anarchy and disorder, and to facilitate it to take the Far East as its own. Therefore, it continues to provoke and support whiteBandits and other anti-government forces attacked the Soviet government. With the support of Japan, the White Army resisted the Far East Republic's liberation of Chita on April 20.
“Don’t look at dancing happily now, everything will have to be paid back in the future. The Japanese government will not know that his hopping up and down in the Far East has been considered by all parties to be a huge disaster, and a counterattack against Japan is taking shape.
The first to rebel were its former allies. The United States believes that Japan violated the agreement signed before the Far East Intervention Force dispatched troops, that is, the two countries will not "use this joint expedition or any incident that may result from it as an opportunity to occupy land." Now, Japan is clearly taking advantage of the Temple Street incident to make a big fuss. The United States opposes Japan's occupation of northern Sakhalin and declares that it does not recognize the right of other countries to occupy the island except Russia.
Japan’s refusal to withdraw its troops also aroused doubts in Britain, France and other countries. They were worried about Japan’s monopolization of Eastern Siberia and also demanded that Japan withdraw its troops. As a result, Japan became isolated internationally.
And the common enemy united the hearts of the Feng Faction, the Soviet Union and the Far East Republic. Zhang Hanqing sent several groups of representatives to negotiate with the Soviet government and the Far Eastern Republic, expressing their determination to firmly support them. Among them, the one that made them most satisfied and enthusiastic was the trade of grain for military machinery.
Because of the arms embargo imposed on China by the great powers, it is difficult for China alone to have a late-mover advantage, because China’s modern military has just begun. If we can get help from Soviet Russia, although its military-industrial system is not considered advanced and its weapons are a little behind those of European and American powers, it can't stand up to others, and they have a relatively complete system.
At the same time, Soviet Russia also needed help, which was the food that almost killed them.
After the Soviet regime was established in 1917, a wartime food crisis immediately emerged, which turned into a famine in the spring. In May 1918, Lenin sent a telegram to all parts of the country: "There is no food. The red capital is on the verge of destruction due to famine In the name of the Soviet Socialist Republic, I ask you to support Petrograd without hesitation."
In order to maintain power and win domestic and foreign wars, from the second half of 1918 to the spring of 1921, the Soviet Russian government implemented the "war communism policy", which included a ban on the sale and purchase of grain and a system of collecting surplus grain.
On January 11, 1919, the People's Committee of the Soviet Union issued a decree requiring farmers to pay agricultural products in accordance with the figures set by the government, and to hand over all surplus grain and part of the rations to support the Red Army and workers. In order to implement the decree, the Soviet Russian government sent out armed grain collection teams to collect grain and agricultural products using military methods. The grain collection teams often collected farmers' seed grains and basic rations, and suppressed or punished a considerable number of middle peasants and even poor peasants as rich peasants.
This caused the peasant class to become dissociated from the Soviet power.
Although the wartime communist policy was based on emergencies, it was once regarded by Lenin and other Soviet leaders as the only way to socialism. In January 1919, Lenin said in a letter to historian Nikolai Rozhkov: "We should not engage in trade freedom and retreat, but should continue to advance towards socialism by improving state monopolies" After this Lenin reinforced this idea.
After the civil war ended, the wartime communist system continued. The expropriated rural areas developed resistance to the Soviet regime, which turned into uncooperative actions of being unwilling to grow food or growing as little food as possible and deliberately reducing cultivated land. Agriculture shrank sharply. In 1920, total cereal output was half that before the war, and cotton output was only 6% of pre-war levels. The food crisis that had begun in the spring of 1918 began to amplify, and eventually led to a famine in 1921 that affected 17 provinces of the Soviet Union. The start and end time of this famine is still controversial. Russian scholars such as N.V. Kochetkov believe that "absolute hunger" lasted until 1925. Orlov Vladimirovich, associate doctor of Russian history, concluded that the famine in some areas lasted for the entire first 10 years of the Soviet regime.
There are already signs of this, and the Supreme Presidium of the Soviets is carefully considering the suggestions from the Feng faction.
Based on the experience of interacting with the Feng Clan, we can see that this is a group that is united, has ideas, and is powerful. At the beginning of the intervention in the Far East, this group was able to confront the central government, opposed the isolation of Soviet Russia, had many interactions with the new government, and reached some mutually beneficial conditions. Of course, its toughness is obvious to all. Mokuowei, Zhongzhong Road, Hulunbuir, and Mongolia are all in the heart of the Soviet Russian government.
But it is also a very trustworthy group because it keeps its word and has withstood heavy pressures to prevent China from becoming a springboard for interventionist forces to invade Russia. It is generally friendly to the Russian people. Although it accommodates many political dissidents, it also prohibits them from using the northeastern territory to oppose the new regime of the Russian Communist Party.
Now it is more powerful than ever. As the inspection envoy to the three eastern provinces and the economic envoy to Mongolia and Xinjiang appointed by the Central Committee, Zhang Zuolin legally controls all Sino-Soviet border ports. This essentially shows that Sino-Soviet relations can actually be determined by the Feng Dynasty.
The Feng Faction was friendly to Soviet Russia. The young marshal from Northeast China spoke loudly on various occasions to normalize Sino-Soviet relations and encourage economic exchanges between China and the Soviet Union. According to the domestic situation in China, the Anhui clique, which was originally opposed to establishing diplomatic relations with the new Soviet government|government, is likely to encounter a military conflict with another group, the Zhili clique, at some point this summer. The Zhili clique and the Fengcheng clique have some common languages. , which shows that a thaw in Sino-Soviet relations is very likely to be achieved.
Therefore, they were very optimistic about the food barter proposed by the Feng faction, and they decided to send representative Youlin to Feng to discuss the specific details. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)In fact, the relationship can be determined by the word "Feng".

??For Japan, the strong seem to be immune from condemnation.
In order to continuously erode the mineral resources and economy of the Northeast and absorb nutrients from the Northeast to gradually grow, Japan changed the name of the Liaodong Peninsula to Guandong Prefecture, which includes more than 3,200 square kilometers of land in Lushunkou and Dalian Bay, officially establishing its territory in China. In order to effectively control its colonies in the Northeast, it established the Guandong Governor's Office in Lushun, with the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of War under it, and its coveting of China was growing day by day.
As an extension of the Kanto State’s sphere of influence, Japan’s Bengali is increasing its number of people on the Manchuria Railway line year by year. Originally, according to the original "Japanese-Russian Treaty of Portsmouth," "Japan can retain garrison troops to protect the Manchuria Railway Line. As for the number of garrison troops, the number is no more than fifteen per kilometer. The Japanese commander can reduce it at the discretion of the time. At least the number that is sufficient is the rate.” Of course, Japan did not compromise until death.
That’s it, it’s not satisfied yet. At the beginning of the year, when the Soviet Union transferred all the Eastern Railway and its affiliated interests to China, it wanted to get involved in Northern Manchuria and exert full influence in the Northeast. In order to effectively support the Chita White Army, on March 27, the Japanese army insisted on advancing westward along the North Manchuria Railway and occupied Manzhouli Station, regardless of the obstruction of the Heilongjiang Fengjun.
Although the war took place in the Far East, it was closely related to China. Japan took this opportunity to test Fengtian's reaction, and also played a trick on them - even if you claim Jihei is your backyard, can I still come and go freely?
How can you allow others to sleep soundly next to your couch? Zhang Hanqing has a long-standing hatred of the Japanese. Moreover, northern Manchuria was originally Russian territory and has been taken over by the Northeastern United Provinces Autonomous Government. The Japanese actually ignored China's sovereignty and reached into Heilongjiang, the rear area that Zhang and his son believed to be stable. If it were in a different time and space, this matter could only be a diplomatic inquiry by the central government. However, at this time, because Zhang Hanqing enabled Zhang Zuolin to complete control of the Northeast two years in advance, the strength was greatly different from before.
The situation was either unbearable or unbearable. Zhang Zuolin was furious. Mingdian severely denounced the security commanders of Heilongjiang and Xing'an provinces for "fulfilling their responsibility to defend the territory and turning a deaf ear to the Japanese invasion." The purpose of generating electricity in the air was to express his attitude.
No wonder Wu Junsheng and Sun Liechen had long-standing phobia against Japan. Without clear orders, the local government and the garrison were unable to deal with it in time. By the time they were ordered to intercept, the accident had already occurred.
Zhang Zuolin urgently summoned the Japanese Consul General in Fengtian, Yoshida Shigeru, and stated that in accordance with the provisions of the "Portsmouth Treaty", the Japanese army must not pass north of Changchun, and demanded that the Japanese army that had invaded Manchuria withdraw immediately.
Yoshida Shigeru defended the actions of the Japanese military in every possible way on the grounds that the Japanese military was protecting the interests of the Far East.
Zhang Hanqing said it was intolerable. He used electricity to throw a bomb across the country and hit the Japanese Consul General in China, Kohata, causing waves: "1. Any excuse from the Japanese side is not enough to harm the Northeastern United Provinces." The reason for the sovereignty of the autonomous government. We have never recognized that Japan has so-called "Manchuria" interests. Now Mongolia has completely become a province of the Republic of China, and the entire territory from the north of Changchun to Heilongjiang is the autonomous government of the Northeastern United Provinces. In the coveted rear area, any political, economic, military, and cultural entry by Japan must be permitted by the Northeastern United Provincial Autonomous Government. We also express our attitude here: any illegal entry by the Japanese army into this area You will be responsible for the consequences of anything that happens in the area. Any armed entry by Japanese soldiers will be regarded as a blatant provocation to the Northeastern United Provinces Autonomous Government |
2. The existence of Guandong Prefecture is caused by the poverty and weakness of the Qing government. We do not deny its official existence and have decided to maintain the status quo of Guandong Prefecture. But Japan cannot cause trouble elsewhere. Expatriates in Japan need to be registered under the jurisdiction of the autonomous government for easy management and care. The government is not responsible for any adverse events in Northeast China to non-registered Japanese people.
3. Regarding the so-called South Manchuria Railway, the Japanese army must strictly abide by the content of the treaty, remove all railway escort troops, and hand it over to Feng soldiers for guarding. The soldiers guarding the stations along the route should be strictly restrained, and it is important not to harass the place.
4. Regarding the issue of the Huaxin Bank Group, the South Manchuria Railway and its branches and its affiliated minerals and Jilin——Huining, Zhengjiatun——Taonan, Kaiyuan——Jilin, Jilin——Changchun, Changchun ——Taonan, Xinmintun——Fengtian, Siping Street——Zhengjiatun and other railway loans must be within the scope of the new bank group. If the Japanese side refuses the new Chinese bank group to enter Northeast China, we will consider building a railway on par with the South Manchuria Railway and reject any additional investment or new investment in factories and mines from Japan on the existing basis.
5. Whether Japan can invest in places outside the customs such as Rehe, Chahar, Mongolia and Hung Yen Province shall be decided by the autonomous government. However, armed personnel will never be allowed to enter, otherwise it will also be regarded as an infringement of China's sovereignty. , Fengjun also does not guarantee its safety. "
"Fengtian Times" published the full text of Zhang Hanqing's "Five-Point Requirements on the Issue of Constituting Japan in Northeast China", and attached a lengthy commentary of tens of thousands of words, saying: "Although Chu can defeat Qin with three people, how can China be empty and deserted?" "ending. In the afternoon of the same day, the People's Party launched a mass demonstration of more than 100,000 people in the provincial capital of Fengtian to show solidarity.
In addition, Zhang Hanqing also had a private conversation with Zhang Zuolin, discussing in detail the development of the current situation and Fengjun's response measures. On the same day, Zhang Zuolin sent a diplomatic note to the Japanese Consul General in China, Kohata, in the name of Chairman of the Northeastern United Provinces Autonomous Government.
The purpose of the Kwantung Agency and the Kwantung Army Headquarters, which were formally established on April 12, 1919, was only to make the Japanese garrison in Manchuria appear more legitimate. However, the Kwantung Army's mission at that time was at best the defense of the "Kwantung State" and the protection of the South Manchuria Railway. (Manchu Railway, from Lushun to Changchun). It was originally planned to deploy 15 soldiers per kilometer of railway, for a total of 14,419 soldiers. Even so, the actions of the Kwantung Army gradually ran counter to the domestic government's political policy of "not interfering in China's internal affairs and only safeguarding existing overseas rights and interests" (at least that's what it said on the surface, but the Kwantung Army's actions were more explicit) . As a result, the final situation was not under Japan's domestic control, and the Kwantung Army's arbitrary actions accelerated Japan's pace of provoking war in China. Although observers believed that there would be a war between China and Japan, the Kwantung Army lit the fuse prematurely.
At that time, Japan had not completely escaped from the shadow of the economic recession caused by the Russo-Japanese War. It had neither the financial resources nor the courage to launch a large-scale war, and international public opinion did not allow it. What the Japanese Kwantung Army did was partly instigated by a small number of fanatical militants, and partly instigated by the large plutocrats who controlled the Japanese economy.
Every step forward by the Japanese soldiers will bring countless wealth to the chaebols. Various Japanese companies in Northeast China have extended their tentacles in various industries under Japanese control, and countless raw materials that Japan urgently needs or lacks are flowing to the mainland, especially steel, coal and other strategic materials known as industrial life. The Japanese Kwantung Army is also constantly testing the Chinese government's bottom line in order to obtain greater benefits.
On April 3, amid strong opposition from Zhang Zuolin and his son, Japan expressed to the United States that it was willing to give up its request for the new banking group to exclude Manchuria and Mongolia, but it must retain rights to the Taore Railway.
However, Japan’s apparent concession did not hinder its actual advance: on April 10, the Japanese army arrested Russians at Hailar, Harbin and other stations, violating China’s sovereignty. On April 11, the Japanese army in Hailar clashed with the Czech army, injuring Chinese. On April 12, Japan occupied the Chinese barracks in Harbin.
The various actions of the Kwantung Army were actually provocative actions to complete its involvement in Heilongjiang, the hinterland of Northeast China. When the Japanese army caused the fact to exist, unless the Feng army used force to expel it, it would not be able to refuse the intervention of Japanese forces. The Japanese judged that the Fengjun government did not dare to show force - in fact, this was exactly the case. Official history only protested, and Zhang Zuolin did not have the ability to think of expulsion. As a result, the Japanese became more arrogant and bolder, and finally took a risk——it's a pity that nine﹒ 18 was won over by it. It wanted to bet again on the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, but it made the wrong bet that time.
Another meaning of the Japanese side is to express dissatisfaction with the secret anti-Duan alliance between the Fengcian and Zhili clique: Duan Qirui has always been the leader of the Chinese government and the soul of the Anhui clique, which Japan strongly supports. Now the Zhili clique is supported by the British and Americans. To replace it, Japan's efforts in China must be stifled. There is nothing they can do about Britain, the United States, and Japan, but they cannot tolerate the back and forth between the Fengcian and Zhili cliques. Deep down, they believe that Northeast China belongs to Japan and everything should operate at the rhythm of the Japanese.
Zhang Zuolin is a patriotic warlord at heart. With Zhang Hanqing's efforts, Fengjun's strength has made great progress. He can no longer tolerate this kind of provocation by the Japanese army. After repeated communication with Zhang Hanqing, on the morning of April 18, a high-level meeting of Feng's military and political affairs was held at the Marshal's Mansion, and it was decided to assemble Feng's army in preparation for possible escalation of provocation by the Japanese army. In the afternoon of the same day, the 28th Division Ji Jinchunquan Division stationed in Shanhaiguan and the 16th Division Zhang Jinghui stationed in Chifeng returned to Fengtian first. The elite 27th Division founded by Zhang Zuolin, the Ding Chao Division of the 23rd Fengtian Security Division, and the Yu Zhen Division of the 30th Division of the Jilin Security Command have all entered combat readiness to control various station arteries. The Wan Fulin Department of the 29th Division of the Heilongjiang Garrison and the Xing Shilian Department of the Xing'an Security Command set out from the North Manchuria Railway to besiege the Japanese troops in Hailar and Harbin respectively.
At the same time, he requested that all the Kyrgyzstan-Heilongjiang defense fleet be dispatched to block the Sino-Soviet river border to prevent possible support from the Japanese Far East Army.
The opinion has been very clear: the area north of the South Manchuria Line is not a private territory for the Japanese, and there are no historical issues left over. The Northeast Autonomous Government does not welcome the Japanese to enter. On the same day, Zhang Zuolin announced that in view of the rampant behavior of the Japanese army in the Black Province, the Middle East Road would no longer be used as a troop transportation and baggage supply line for the Japanese Expeditionary Force. Japanese soldiers who have entered must leave the country within a time limit.
The two sides are at war with each other and the war is imminent. The situation has deteriorated to this point, and many experts who focus on the Far East issue believe that it will be extremely difficult to deal with the aftermath when both sides have completely turned against each other. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)They all believe that it is extremely difficult to deal with the aftermath when both parties have completely fallen out.

Chapter 412 Strike

After thinking deeply for a moment, Zhang Hanqing said: "The Northeastern United Provinces Autonomous Government has absolutely no behavior or intention to harm your interests. As far as the Chinese government is concerned, no matter who comes to power, it is impossible to dare to separate Shandong from China. Mr. Yoshida should Understand the current public opinion. My father's military expedition to Shanhaiguan is nothing more than taking this opportunity to seize control of Beijing. There is no conflict with your interests. Xueliang would like to ask both parties to maintain mutual trust and maintain the current rare stable situation. As for Feng Jun's entry After returning to Beijing, I can guarantee that all your existing status in China will remain unchanged."
This move was also carefully considered in advance. Historically, Japan did not directly intervene in the May 4th Movement, nor did it provide much direct support for the eventual collapse of the pro-Japanese Duan Qirui government. The reason was that a large number of Japanese regarded Zhang Zuolin as Duan Qirui. The largest agent ever. As long as Lao Zhang is still alive, Japan has no interest in Duan Qirui's life or death - anyway, Zhang Zuolin's territory also expanded after the Zhengzhou-Anhui War.
Since we are still following the original history at this stage, as long as we maintain a policy toward China that does not directly or seriously irritate Japan, we can at least not change the direction of history domestically for the time being.
As long as the threat of future Zhili-Fengtian war is resolved and North China and Northwest China under the control of the Beiyang government are governed according to the Northeast model, the greater the strength, the greater the probability of avoiding an all-out war between China and Japan in the future. When the strength reaches a certain level, peace will eventually It is not impossible to unify China.
Therefore, when the Zhangs and their sons knew Japan's trump card, they dared to show a tough side, and to a certain extent, they gave Japan a reassurance, so that Japan did not interfere too much in the subsequent development of the situation.
On the 14th, Wu Peifu led his troops to raid Songlindian, where the Border Defense Headquarters was located, and some senior Anhui generals were forced to surrender. Then, the Zhili army occupied Zhuozhou and pursued Changxindian. Fengjun also pressed forward with a large force. As the backing of the Zhili army, it reached Miyun on the border of Beijing as recently as possible.
This war lasted only five days. During the battle, the east and west routes of the Anhui army were completely defeated. Duan Qirui was like a lost dog.
Such an ending made the warring parties find it incredible.
The Border Guards Army has the best equipment among all parties, even better than the Fengjun Army, which has great economic development support, but it can't last more than a few rounds. This kind of vulnerability should not be the true level of the well-trained and well-equipped northwest border guards.
In fact, it’s not that their fighting power is weak, but that what the Anhui clique has done in recent years has been too unpopular, so their willingness to fight is low.
Moreover, the Anhui clique was originally strong against the Zhili clique, but the Feng clique suddenly launched an attack, which seriously interfered with its positioning judgment. With the combined efforts of the Zhili and Fengcheng factions, the generals of the Anhui faction realized that they would be defeated if they fought for a long time, and ultimately failed to unite as one. Each of them fought timidly. In the end, they would lose their will to fight, and their troops would not have the will to fight. Undefeated would be a ghost.
But this is also a blessing for China. The Anhui clique was defeated cleanly, but it did not seriously damage the vitality of the Chinese nation.
Many people persuaded Duan Qirui to stop the war, but Duan was also hesitant, fearing that he would be held responsible for the war. Because the Feng Clan had a strong tendency to be unyielding, Wu Peifu also said: "Except for the top ten culprits of the Anhui Clique, Xu Shuzheng, Zeng Yujun, Duan Zhigui, etc." Especially Xu Shuzheng, who shot and killed Lu Jianzhang, an important figure of the Zhili Clique, so this account cannot be ignored. Calculate. Therefore, Wu Peifu said: "A reward of 100,000 yuan will be given to Xu Xiangshang's head."
In this regard, "Fengtian Times" promptly spoke out, believing that "if internal friction can be reduced and fewer soldiers killed, it will be a great contribution to the country and the nation, and let bygones be bygones." Zhang Zuolin also sent people to contact Duan Qirui, saying that as long as Anhui The surrender of the clique's troops to the Feng clique will ensure the safety of relevant personnel, and Zhang Zuolin will work hard to ease the situation, which strengthens his willingness to cease the war.
Duan Qirui has been up and down three times. He is not much worried about his situation when he comes to power. Instead, he is very concerned about the situation of his general Xu Shuzheng. Zhang Zuolin immediately made a big promise, saying that as long as he himself did not fall into the hands of the direct family, he would try his best to rectify the situation.
Xu Shuzheng is truly an anomaly to be treated so courteously by this rising hero of the Republic of China. However, he was really not afraid of his own safety. After knowing that the situation was over and Duan Qirui's thoughts, with anger towards Wu Peifu and others, he immediately ordered the border guards who were already under siege by the Feng Clan to surrender to the Feng Clan at the nearest location. Since the left and right are the losers, we cannot give all the benefits to the enemy. In his opinion, the Zhili clique was deeply rooted, and Wu Peifu's soldiers were all capable of fighting. If he didn't support the Feng clique, who could rival it in the future? How to take advantage of the chaos and make a comeback?
By July 18, Jin Yunpeng gave Duan Qirui his final advice: "The war has completely failed, and the combat effectiveness of the border guards has been lost. If we don't take measures quickly, I am afraid that within a few days, the food problem in central Beijing will cause the entire army to collapse without a fight. By the time the army reaches the city, it's too late to regret it." Duan Qirui, who had settled in, immediately agreed and asked Xu Shichang for an order to cease the war.
That day,Xu Shichang issued an armistice order, instructing all generals to quickly order the defense lines in front, stop the attack, and wait for orders to be resolved. The next day, Duan Qirui issued a telegram, requesting to be dismissed from his official position and dismissed from the Dingguo Army.
The four major kings of the Anhui Clan were defeated like a mountain: the double-faced Jin Yunpeng had tipped off Zhang Zuolin, so he was not afraid; Wu Guangxin and Fu Liangzuo both abandoned their troops and left; and Xu Shuzheng, as the one named by Wu Peifu to deal with, had to fend for himself. road. He began to change his whereabouts and prepare to escape. First he rushed into the house, and then went to the bank to withdraw money to raise money for the urgent travel expenses. Then he rushed into the bookstore and returned the money he owed the boss for buying books.
The bookstore owner said in surprise: "It's reached this point. If you don't run away quickly, why are you here to pay back the money?"
Xu Shuzheng smiled and said: "If I don't pay it back now, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future."
Then he calmly went to the Six Nations Hotel to take refuge in order to make a comeback. This kind of scheming warlord strategist has also become a model customer who treats others with integrity and pays back debts. After arriving at the Japanese embassy and consulate, he did not forget to show his coquettishness and wrote a poem to disgust Wu Peifu. He said: "Buy my head for 100,000 gold. If you can really avoid me, you will also know my friend."
Taking advantage of this enthusiasm, the Zhili and Fengtian cliques invariably reaped huge benefits: the Northwest Army and the Border Guard Army were ordered to cease fighting on the spot, and the original opponents each sent people to ask the Anhui army to surrender to them; the main forces of the Zhili clique gathered in Luoyang, Baoding, and Fengcheng. The main force is stationed in Qinhuangdao and Chengde, and the forwards of both sides have been stationed in the Nanyuan and Beiyuan barracks. As long as the order is given, the city of Beijing will become a piece of cake.
After the war, the first priority was the formation of a cabinet. Xu Shichang wanted to use his old friend Zhou Shumo to form a cabinet, Cao Kun took a fancy to Wang Shizhen, the direct patriarch, and Zhang Zuolin still missed his son and daughter-in-law Jin Yunpeng.
Army Chief Jin Yunpeng was originally one of the two top generals under Duan Qirui, the other being Xu Shuzheng, Chief of Staff of the War Office. But these two people are like water and fire. Xu Shuzheng is the backstage boss of the Anfu Group and has great conflicts with Xu Shichang. Jin Yunpeng did not belong to the Anfu family, and he had a deep hatred for Xu Shuzheng. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. For this reason, Xu Shichang is optimistic about Jin Yunpeng.
Jin Yunpeng and Zhang Zuolin are sons and daughters, and they are brothers to Cao Kun. They are also from Shandong Province with their direct relatives Wang Zhanyuan and Wu Peifu. Because of these political capitals, Jin Yunpeng naturally had the upper hand in the competition with the elders. He believed that the time had come for him to go out, so he went to Fengtian in person on July 23 to discuss the aftermath with Zhang Zuolin and obtain Zhang Zuolin's support.
A few days later, Zhang Zuolin and Jin Yunpeng arrived in Tianjin together and invited Cao Kun to Tianjin for a meeting. Two days later, Cao Kun arrived in Tianjin from Baoding without stopping. At this time, representatives of warlords from various places also arrived at the meeting. At this meeting, it was decided to reinstate Jin Yunpeng to form a cabinet.
On the same day, President Xu Shichang dismissed Duan Qirui, who was in charge of border defense affairs and managed the affairs of the general government, and abolished the border defense affairs office and the name of the Northwest Border Defense Force. As a reward for Zhang Zuolin, he also issued an order to revoke the previous decision to punish Zhang Zuolin and restore him to his duties as "Inspection Envoy of the Three Eastern Provinces and Economic Envoy of Mongolia and Xinjiang, and concurrently Controller of Rehe, Chahar, and Xing'an Provinces." , although regardless of whether he recovered or not, Zhang Zuolin is the well-deserved king of the Northeast and master of the Northwest.
Duan Qirui, the biggest obstacle to the "Defense Movement", has stepped down. Is it time for North-South peace talks to unify the country? However, Sun Yat-sen, Tang Shaoyi, Wu Tingfang, Tang Jiyao and others issued a second declaration at an inappropriate time, demanding that "the North should first abrogate the Sino-Japanese military agreement and the Twenty-One Articles, and then the peace talks expected to be held in Shanghai between the North and the South can continue."
Frankly speaking, this is leaving the problem to the Beijing government. When Yuan Shikai was alive, the united Beiyang and the far superior strength still had lingering fears about the 21 Articles but had no choice but to do anything. Now how can a divided central government have the courage to challenge Japan? What's more, three feet of ice does not freeze in a day. It is obviously an impossible task to get the Japanese to withdraw from the meat they swallowed. It's a shame they thought of such inappropriate remarks.
Sure enough, after the Tianjin meeting, Cao Kun, Zhang Zuolin, Jin Yunpeng and others decided to dissolve the Anfu Clan Congress and ask Jin Yunpeng to form a cabinet. The response of the southern military government was: to cancel the Shanghai Peace Conference.
The cancellation of the peace conference means that the newly born Republic of China government will continue to be in a state of war with the southern government headed by Sun Yat-sen. As a result, the political trend of the Republic of China evolved from a situation in which the seven provinces united with the South to jointly oppose Anhui, to a situation in which Zhili and Fengcheng united against the South. Mainland China was still divided.
On July 29, Xu Shichang issued a wanted order for Xu Shuzheng, Zeng Yujun, Duan Zhigui, Ding Shiyuan (Director of Beijing-Hankow Railway), Zhu Shen, Wang Zhilong (Finance Chief of Anfu Club), Liang Hongzhi (Secretary-General of the Senate), Yao Zhen, Li Sihao, Yao Guozhen ( Undersecretary of Transportation) and other "Ten Evils of Anfu", he issued this presidential decree at the instruction of several big bosses. They definitely can't be caught, because everyone has taken refuge in the Japanese embassy. This is just a gesture.
Because the big bosses are already focused on how to take advantage of the cleanup, the battles left by the Anhui clique include competition for the composition of the cabinet and the ownership of the army. As a historical term, the Anfu system has been swept into the toilet. At this time, no one is pursuing it.

On August 1, the Dalai Lama requested a peace conference to be held in Lhasa or India, with Britain as witness.
Tibet has always had a special status in Chinese history, with its unique religious and political systems, and it is also a nation that combines politics and religion. The British have always regarded Tibet as a forbidden area. After the Qing emperor abdicated, Tibet also fought for independence. Later, army commander Zhong Ying led his army from Xikang to pacify the situation. Later, the British Minister to China Zhu Erdian suddenly protested, demanding that China not interfere in Tibet's internal affairs and not send troops into Tibet. If China did not accept this, Britain would not recognize the Republic of China government. Forced by the situation, Yuan changed the campaign from suppression to pacification, restored the title of the Thirteenth Dalai Lama, canceled the army to conquer Tibet, and agreed to hold a "Tibet Conference" with the British in Darjeeling on the Indo-Tibetan border. This was the beginning of British intervention in Tibet.
"This time the Tibetans are instigated by the British and have signs of independence again. This is intolerable. Today is Tibet, and tomorrow will be Xinjiang. Once the confidence is insufficient, this matter will never end! Zhang Zuolin expressed his refusal via telegram, saying that Tibet is China's inherent territory and no one has the right to negotiate around the central government. If you avoid him as the "Mongolian Xinjiang Economic and Strategic Envoy" to hold a peace meeting, you are not treating the village chief as a cadre!
Ordinarily, Zhang Zuolin is just the "Mongolian Economic and Strategic Envoy". Why are you meddling in this Tibetan matter? However, according to Xiao Zhang's point of view, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. At this time, if we want to make the Fengcian clan move from a corner of peace to the whole country and create influence, it is necessary to firmly maintain unity. Moreover, Britain's pressure on the Central Committee of the Republic of China was actually an attempt to divide Zhang Zuolin's influence in the government, because Jin Yunpeng had already telegraphed Zhang Zuolin's attitude twice.
If the situation is not handled well, it is not impossible that Jin Yunpeng will become another short-lived problem of the Republic of China. If the Feng faction does not speak out at this time, it will chill the hearts of its allies. Therefore, whether from the perspective of being friends or from the overall perspective of safeguarding national unity, Fengxi should firmly state its position.
With Zhang Zuolin’s current influence, he can already directly exert force on the central government. He asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to inform the British Minister in China: "The beginning of the Tibet Peace Conference will be the day when the central government restores the authority to govern Tibet. If war breaks out, Tibet will no longer have its former status, and the Dalai Lama will no longer have the honorable title , the central government should set up provincial management." Zhang Hanqing sent a telegram to Han Linchun, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest People's Army, to send a unit from Qinghai to Tibet and assemble in the Tanggula Pass area to prepare to suppress the dispute with force.
The Thirteenth Dalai Lama knew that he was outmatched and did not dare to talk about war, so he sent people to seek peace. The British Minister in China submitted a note to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Tibetan issue, which read:
(1) China shall not interfere in the administration of Tibet, and shall not establish a province in Simon.
(2) The Chinese government shall not send unlimited troops to station anywhere in Tibet.
(3) Britain has now determined that China has suzerainty over Tibet and should require China to revise the New Treaty.
(4) It is necessary to retain a special communications agency in front of the British government to eliminate traffic between India and Tibet.
(5) If the Chinese government does not recognize the above conditions, the British government will never recognize the new republican government of the Republic of China.
In addition, it hints to the Beijing government that if it does not agree to the above terms, the British government may use the Guangzhou military government as the target of negotiation. Zhang Hanqing secretly sneered: "I wonder if the Guangzhou Military Government has the guts to take this card?" Anyway, the Yangtze River coast is the direct territory, and South China is controlled by the Guangzhou Military Government. Because of Japan's presence, the UK has no control over the north. Big impact. Fengjun was good at the army, but he was not afraid of the British ships and artillery.
Faced with the joint efforts of Britain and Japan to put pressure on China, the United States completely abandoned its usual clamor for an "open door" and instead took the opportunity to demand that its troops withdraw from Tianjin. Suddenly, the mountain rain was about to come, and dark clouds enveloped the land of Beijing and Tianjin.
Zhang Hanqing had already begun to make preparations to attack Shaanxi. Although he was far away from Tibet, he felt the same way about the aggressiveness of the great powers. Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States are trying to tie China up and put themselves on fire. If you are tough, you will be unable to deal with unexpected events, which only adds to the laughter; if you are weak, the opponent will definitely intensify his efforts and make you retreat without restraint. He finally understood the sadness of what Yu Dafu called "Motherland, when will you become strong!?"
I was willing to be a stingy and dare to pull the emperor down! When Mao Zedong was still on the Long March, he dared to defy the great powers and the superior Kuomintang army. He dared to challenge the Sixteen-Nation Allied Forces in Korea, a foreign country, when everything was waiting for help. Now that he has a strong army, he is hesitant. I really don’t know what I am afraid of. ? The worst thing is to start over again!
Thinking of this, Zhang Hanqing wiped away the depression in his heart and sent a reply to Zhang Zuolin via telegram and announced it to the public at home and abroad: "If you seek peace with struggle, then peace will exist; if you seek peace with concessions, then peace will be destroyed. People are mortal, some are heavier than Mount Tai, and some are lighter than Mount Tai. Hongmao. When the Chinese nation is in the most danger, all officers and soldiers of the People's Army will work with the central government to share the hatred of the enemy, resist foreign humiliation, and face difficulties together. IfIf the Tibetan issue ferments and causes large-scale incidents, there will be General Xiao Zhang who died in the battle in China, and there will be no Zhang Xueliang who survived."
At the end of the call back, Zhang Hanqing added a poem:
"He was born out of nowhere, in the vastness of Kunlun, and saw all the beauty of spring in the world.
Three million jade dragons flew up, causing the whole sky to become cold.
??????????????In summer, rivers overflow, and people may become fish and turtles.
Who has ever commented on Qianqiu’s meritorious deeds?
Now I call Kunlun, not so high, not so snowy.
An De relied on the sky to draw his sword and cut you into three pieces?
One part was left to Europe, one part was given to the United States, and one part was returned to the Eastern Kingdom.
In a peaceful world, the whole world is the same. "
This telegram inspired the spirit of the Chinese nation to sacrifice one's life for righteousness, shouting out the strongest voice of the times. It was forwarded and echoed by countless newspapers and periodicals, and the Marshal's magnificent "Niannujiao Kunlun" was also recited in the streets and alleys.
Although Wu Peifu, who was far away in Luoyang, had political disagreements with Zhang Zuolin, he still maintained a vigilant stance on this matter. He said in a telegram to Cao Kun and others: "The dispute between Zhili and Fengcheng is a domestic matter, and the Tibet issue is related to the country. Sovereignty cannot be traded. Peifu is willing to defeat the enemies of the Feng clan on the battlefield with dignity, and will never be like Shi Jingtang."
Shi Jingtang was the later emperor of the Jin Dynasty during the Five Dynasties period. In order to resist the threat of Tang soldiers, he even succumbed to the thieves and proclaimed himself emperor. He also borrowed Khitan soldiers to invade the Central Plains at the expense of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, causing the Central Plains Song Dynasty to lose the barrier of the Great Wall, and eventually fell due to weakness. at the hands of the Mongols. Wu Peifu used this to show his intention and disagreed with Cao Kun's practice of borrowing foreigners' self-respect.
Wu Peifu's weight is still quite important, and his opinions are accepted by most people in the immediate circle, which ultimately affects the current situation. Therefore, the emboldened Chinese government sent a very tough note to the UK based on Zhifeng's advice:
(1) According to the 1906 Sino-British Treaty on Tibet, no country other than China has the right to interfere in Tibet’s internal affairs. It is nonsense to say that China has no right to interfere in Tibet’s internal affairs.
(2) As for the establishment of a province, it is a necessary political matter of the Republic of China. Since all countries recognize the Republic of China, they must recognize that China has changed Tibet into a province. Therefore, when China changes Tibet into a province, this is China's internal affairs and the British cannot interfere.
(3) According to the 1908 Trade Treaty, Britain entrusted China with the police power of the market and the protection of Indo-Tibetan traffic. Therefore, China of course sent troops to important places in Tibet. This is a symbol of national sovereignty and cannot be discussed.
(4) Sino-British negotiations on Tibet have already concluded two treaties. Everything has been stipulated clearly. There is no need to revise a new treaty today.
(5) The Chinese government has not intentionally blocked traffic between Britain and Tibet in the past. In the future, it should pay more attention to protect it and never hinder normal traffic between Britain and Tibet. However, British people must exercise self-discipline and act in a manner that does not violate Chinese laws and regulations.
(6) Recognizing the Republic of China is another issue that cannot be discussed together with the Tibet issue. The UK should not go back on its promise and make the international community laugh.
The Chinese government's reply was issued, but the British government did not reply for a while. Although Zhang Hanqing was tough on the outside, he was unwilling to take any serious action with the great powers at this time - Japan would not dare to take any drastic measures in other aspects until its serious trouble was eliminated. On August 25, when the Dalai Lama of Tibet sent people to sue for peace, on the grounds that "the Dalai Lama has returned after having lost his way, and the central government, for the sake of the country's peaceful development and the Tibetan people's inability to afford war, has issued an order to suspend the invasion of troops and restore the previous status quo." , finally dragging the Tibet issue down.
Seeing that the Feng Clan had gained control in Beijing, in order to ease the situation, on August 14, the U.S. Congressional Group and former Minister to China Rui Enshi arrived in Beijing and met with Zhang Hanqing in order to continue to stabilize U.S. interests in China. Zhang Hanqing also returned the favor, welcoming the visit of the U.S. Congressional delegation, actively expressing goodwill, and looking forward to the U.S. providing strong support to China in terms of economic and industrial development.
Japan, which had an "Anglo-Japanese alliance" with Britain, was not to be outdone when Britain provoked trouble in the southwest, and also made its own plans. Originally, the old international relations, regardless of the treaty negotiations between Britain and Japan, Russia and Japan, France and Japan, and the United States and Japan, were based on the policy of maintaining China's status quo, preserving the remaining Chinese territory, and providing equal opportunities for the great powers to treat China. However, since Zhang Hanqing established Northeastern autonomy, the strength of the Fengcian faction has greatly increased, which has seriously hindered Japan's expansion in the Northeast. Originally, South Manchuria and eastern Inner Mongolia (Hung Yen Province) were all Japanese interests at this time in official history. Currently, except for the South Manchuria Railway, Guandong Prefecture, and a small number of troops stationed in Harbin, Japan's power has been greatly reduced.
Seeing that the two factions of the Zhitong and Fengxi factions had joined forces to oppose their own attack, Britain felt that it was difficult to do so alone, so it planned to unite with Japan to suppress China. After some planning, it was agreed to support Japan's actions in Mongolia in exchange for Japan's support for Britain's activities in Tibet.
This is exactly what the Japanese government wants. Deliberately expelled by the Japanese troops stationed in the Far East, on August 23, the old Russian party Belarus Engen led more than 3,000 people to invade the Chechen Khan of Outer Mongolia. The "An-Mongolian Army" that had been prepared for a long time sent troops from Kulun to fight.
In order to create a situation of internal and external attacks, on the 28th, the Japanese government secretly ordered the commander of the Japanese army in Harbin to encourage the independence of the princes of Outer Mongolia in order to disrupt the situation in Mongolia and benefit from it. Ji Yiqiao continued to display heavy troops at the border. Enqin did not dare to fight and stayed on the Russian border, intending to wait for opportunities.

Chapter 423 Seeing Beauty Again
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
??In October of the golden autumn, when the last ray of warmth was on the beach, Zhang Hanqing came to Beidaihe, Qinhuangdao. He wanted to calmly launch his economic layout for the Feng clan before leaving.
He will invest a huge amount in this area within the Pass. Even if Sun Liechen is appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun outside the Pass and the elite troops of three divisions, it will be difficult to dispel his worries. If his idea comes to fruition, this place will soon be a piece of fat that not only the locals want to eat, but the Japanese, even the British and Americans may not necessarily let it go. If you want to avoid splashing water, you need to make the cake bigger and stronger as soon as possible, so that many relevant people will have huge interests here and cannot be destroyed by others.
This is also a constraint.
He plans to launch investment bonds to involve wealthy officials and wealthy people in Tianjin, not only to turn their spare money into treasure, but also to meet the needs of united front. Interests are always the unbroken bond of friendship. Also, you can take this opportunity to take private goods and wash the gold "white".
Considering that personal connections were a shortcoming, he visited his old friends Liang Shiyi and Xiong Tingbi during his stay in Beijing. They were both influential figures in the political arena of the Republic of China and had a formidable network of connections behind them. If they come forward, even if they only "subscribe" a tiny amount, it will be enough to create public opinion and make people who covet this place carefully consider it.
Xiong Tingbi said that everything Zhang Hanqing did was to revitalize the Chinese economy. He expressed his absolute support and stated that he would invest all his family property in it to encourage people. He and Zhang Hanqing are old friends. They were moved by the young marshal's hard-working spirit during the disaster relief work.
Liang Shiyi is a typical speculator, and behind him is the entire Old Communications Group. Even when he lost his official position, Beiyang's finances were still under his control, and they could not operate without him. After the defeat of the Anhui clique, he wanted to take the stage to form a cabinet, but unfortunately Jin Yunpeng, who could best balance the relationship between the two giants, Zhili and Feng, took the lead.
Zhang Hanqing’s visit was exactly what he wanted. Everyone who is well-informed knows that Zhang Zuolin can achieve what he has today because his eldest son has made great contributions and is also a very influential person within the Fengxian. Once you have established a relationship with him, it will be easy to get support from the Feng family. So when Zhang Hanqing proposed that he needed a "platform", he wholeheartedly agreed.
It has been decided within the Fengtian faction that Liu Shangqing, who is proficient in finance, will serve as the mayor of Tianjin. Financing within the Guan Nei Guan is the key to determining the success of Zhang Hanqing's plan, and once successful, Guan Nei, headed by Tianjin, will also be another locomotive for the economic development of the Feng Clan, and important figures must leave the town.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????ll??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? It is connected to Tianjin and Fengcheng. It can easily rely on Tianjin's industrial heritage and financial advantages to obtain funds and talent supplies, and it can also receive energy support from Fengcheng at any time. More importantly, it is still some distance away from Beijing and Tianjin, and it can be certain Avoid everyone's attention to a certain extent.
The reason why it is so mysterious is that major projects such as tanks, airplanes, and locomotives that Zhang Hanqing has buried in his heart for many years will be born here.
These huge projects will be maintained by countless subsystems, and those who are not extremely capable cannot be competent. The Northeast has already carried out larger-scale industrial investment and is already short of talent, so Zhang Hanqing is not planning to transfer people from there because the candidates are already available.
Zhu Qiqian kept a low profile for a while after Lao Yuan's death and concentrated on being the chairman of his Zhongxing Coal Mine and Zhongxing Shipping Company. He is worthy of being one of the people who knows the most about economic management in the history of the Republic of China, and he runs two companies prosperously.
After Duan Qirui came to power and was granted amnesty, he came to Qinhuangdao and served as the president of the "Beidaihe Seaside Charity Association" and really went to develop it. However, his political talents have not been forgotten. He was appointed by Xu Shichang as the general representative of the North at the North-South Peace Conference, and he is likely to make a comeback in the political world.
However, when the negotiations broke down, Lao Zhu became disheartened and decided to withdraw from politics, concentrate on his development plan, and settle his family in Qinhuangdao. If this is the case, his life will gradually fade out of people's sight. At most, he will have a place in public welfare undertakings. However, given his nature, it would take a lot of effort to convince him to come out.
But Zhang Hanqing still found him.
After a few years, the Zhu family’s concierge could no longer remember this former frequent visitor to the house because the people had changed several times. However, there are still legends about this young marshal circulating in the house. His irreconcilable relationship with the third lady saved the Zhu family from being harassed by the powerful local underworld Shiling Society in Qinhuangdao.
Zhang Hanqing didn’t want to mobilize troops, it was just an ordinary meeting with old friends. After all, the Zhu family was kind to the Zhang family when they gave him some help when they were inconspicuous. Even some old news about Miss Zhu San and him was often just a passing comment. But on an island with simple folk customs, the impact of a young commander's dispatch is still very big.
Zhu Qiqian is pregnant with?You can come out to greet the guests in person with an indescribable mood.
This former nephew is still so gentle and gentle, but in his calmness, his strength and confidence can be detected at any time. It seems that time is both a killing knife and a catalyst for people to mature.
He is no longer the young, energetic and mischievous boy he was. In five years, he has made many feats that ordinary people would find difficult to achieve in their lifetime. He is the young marshal of the Feng faction, the commander of the People's Army, and the newly appointed governor of Gansu. His power is so powerful that if he stamps his feet, the political arena in the north will tremble!
If I remember correctly, he was only twenty years old.
What kind of monster can do this? As time goes by, it is not surprising at all that there will be new official titles and honors.
But Zhang Hanqing still greeted him with a smile and a respectful expression as before: "We haven't seen you for a few years. I'm still in good spirits. I'm very happy to congratulate you."
Zhu Qiqian felt relieved for no reason. He smiled and held his hand and said, "I can only watch you young people. The young marshal is busy with official duties, so how can he have time to come here as a guest?"
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said, "It's right to come and visit Shibo. No matter how busy you are, you still have to come and see me. How are you, my aunt and my sisters?"
Zhu Qiqian pondered for a moment and then said: "Everything is fine. Your third sister was engaged years ago and is planning to marry her after the year." He knew the past of Zhang Hanqing and Zhu Songjun, so he was unsure about the extent of their relationship, and was a little worried. How would he react to the news. Zhang Hanqing now needs people to think about his mentality.
" To be fair, the friendship between Zhang Hanqing and Miss Zhu San was more than just politeness. The initial relationship was just a young person's affection and could not withstand the test of time. However, it is precisely because of this pure spiritual communication that most first loves become beautiful.
After experiencing two outstanding women, Yu Fengzhi and Huang Wanqing, his mind as a man has matured, and he is better able to restrain his impulses in love affairs between men and women. A man's maturity does not depend on how many women he has, but on how he views women.
Originally, Zhang Hanqing was still thinking about how to face Zhu Songyun, but now that he heard the news that she was married, he felt relaxed for no reason and felt a little disappointed. What you don't get is always beautiful, this is a wise saying.
But now his state of mind is far beyond that of his peers. The more experience he has, the more comfortable he is with emotions. As his official position rises, it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of women around him, so his immunity to women has also become stronger. Even if you face this kind of loss, you can feel relieved in an instant - it is impossible for all the women in the world to revolve around you, not even the emperor can do it.
So he said happily: "It turns out that something good is coming for my third sister. I have to prepare a good gift this time, otherwise I will be beaten to death by her!"
A joke narrowed the distance between the two, and Zhu Qiqian felt relieved. It turned out that all the rumors about the young marshal and Song Yun were just rumors after all. He was a little disappointed but also a little relieved. This contradictory feeling was indescribable. While talking, the two came to the living room together. Zhang Hanqing said: "When you come here, it is extremely rude not to visit your aunt and sister first."
How could Zhu Qiqian be able to sit still? He had already sent someone to invite Mrs. Yu and her daughters at home to come out.
We haven’t seen each other for a few years and we are all very friendly. Except for the two eldest daughters who are already married, her other daughters are all here, all of them gorgeous and beautiful. Zhu Songjun was wearing a white lace cheongsam. Next to her was the grown-up Fourth Sister Zhu Jinjun, and behind her was the Fifth Miss Zhu Meijun who had grown into a beautiful embryo. They were both so beautiful that they blinded him.
Zhang Hanqing first said hello to Mrs. Yu, and his way was also very special: "At first I saw my aunt coming out, and I was wondering: I know all the sisters in the Zhu family, and a beautiful sister appeared out of nowhere. ? I didn’t dare to scream at that time, or my aunt’s voice confirmed it for me. Not only has my voice not changed in the past few years, but my appearance has also remained the same, which made me almost call the wrong person. "
Mrs. Yu smiled from ear to ear: "What nonsense are you kid talking about? How can anyone remain unchanged? Isn't that an old goblin? It's okay for us two to brag in private, but don't spread it out to make others laugh." No matter what In this era, women are all animals that love beauty, and their love for flattering looks will never go out of style.
Zhang Hanqing, as a young commander, was trying to make things happen with her. How could she not go along with the situation? Although I don't understand why Zhang Hanqing paid a sudden visit, it is not a bad thing to be able to bring him closer to the Zhu family. Now Zhang Hanqing was nostalgic for the past, which aroused a trace of melancholy in her heart, so her response to him was half polite and half genuine.
We are already "couples", so we can chat more casually. After Zhang Hanqing greeted his sisters one by one, he said to Zhu Songjun, "My sister's crush must be handsome and capable?"
At this time, Zhu Songjun was more generous. In her prime, she had a kind of beauty that would overwhelm the country and the city with a thin application of pink and white, but it had a different modern flavor from Yu Fengzhi and Huang Wanqing. Although her parents were there, she still smiled slightly and said: "To be able to say that I am capable, I'm afraid there is no one else in the world except my brother. It's just that everyone has their own destiny." The corners of her mouth were raised, and she was full of charm.
Zhang Hanqing came here mainly for Zhu Qiqian and had not thought about renewing their relationship. But after her provocation, I felt like I wanted to get close to her. This girl's methods are not simple. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The man in love must be handsome and capable? "

Chapter 432 Farewell

Without him having to ask questions, Yu Yifan immediately announced the answer to the public.
"Old Man Liang is so annoying and favors boys over girls. Fortunately, he works in a foreign company and is extremely conservative in his thinking. He has three sons and four daughters, all of whom received Western education and emphasized equality, but he has never had a true " Equality', you know it from Miss Ninth's engagement.
Ms. Jiu is said to be Mr. Ye’s nephew. It seems that one is a high-ranking official and the other is a nobleman. The two are well-matched. However, Miss Ninth was very dissatisfied with this marriage because it was said that the man had lung disease. Moreover, this marriage was arranged by Old Man Liang in order to find a way for his eldest son. "
I see. Chief Ye is Ye Gongchuo, the newly appointed chief of transportation. He is originally a cadre of the transportation department and belongs to the same "system" as Zhu Qiqian and Liang Shiyi. Zhu Qiqian was re-employed by the Feng Clan, and Ye Gongchuo was also close to the Feng Clan. With the support of the Feng Clan, he naturally had considerable authority within the Central Committee.
With Liang Yanqing’s intelligence, he naturally knew that climbing into the Ye family was a good choice to find a way out for his son. In order to give a son a promotion, treating daughters as a kind of transaction has been going on since ancient times. The so-called "marriage" is actually just selling a daughter to seek peace. At this time, bureaucrats were accustomed to this kind of transaction. Zhang Zuolin was the in-law of Bao Guiqing, Song Wenyu, and even Zhang Xun.
"However, Zhang Hanqing cannot accept this kind of transaction happening to Miss Liang Jiu, because his body will have a very close story with her if he does not travel through time.
It seems that in the official history, Miss Liang Jiu once begged Zhang Xueliang to take her away after getting to know him, but in the end, for some unknown reason, there was no result. Her life was not satisfactory after she got married. Because she came from such a family and only had a dowry of 4,000 yuan, she was disliked by her husband's family. While accompanying her husband to recuperate, he committed suicide by swallowing a match on a train because he could not bear his public humiliation.
Although he had not seen her at this time, with a strong sense of historical responsibility, he felt that he had to save her from danger. Forget it if he didn't know, but now that he was given another chance to meet again, he couldn't let it go. The historical responsibility given to him by time travel is to revitalize China. The experiences of countless ordinary people are the epitome of China, and he has the obligation to make changes as well.
He nodded and said with a dignified look: "This Liang Yanqing is doing very bad things. I will go meet him tomorrow."
Lung disease was difficult to cure in that era, and many people eventually developed tuberculosis. What impressed Zhang Hanqing most deeply was the story of "Steamed Buns with Human Blood" written by Lu Xun. For his own selfish reasons, he pushed his daughter into the pit of fire and refused to be a father.
Yu Yifan said: "Uncle, you must have a way to stop this marriage. Qingzhu is a very good girl and a good friend of mine." She looked at him and smiled slyly: "If you can do it, I will I’ll dance with you when I have time.”
“Oh my god, is this a reward or a punishment? But thinking about Yu Yifan's soft waist, it seemed to have nothing to do with punishment.
Throughout the night, Zhang Hanqing was occupied by Gu Ruiyu and Yu Yifan, which made many female relatives who were waiting for an opportunity to get close to the young marshal very dissatisfied, so they ended the dance a little early. Zhang Hanqing pulled Yu Yifan, who still had more to say, "It's time to go back to school, how did you get here?"
Yu Yifan said calmly: "There are many rickshaws near this hotel. I will take them back later."
"How can that be done? You are not afraid of a little girl? I will take you back." Although the school is not far from here, Zhang Hanqing still said this cautiously. Tianjin is a mixed city, and Yu Yifan, a young and beautiful girl, is worried about walking alone. Whether he is a "little uncle" or a person of the opposite sex, he has to care about it.
There is also Gu Ruiyu, Zhang Hanqing will not ignore it: "Miss Gu, I will arrange a car to take you back."
Gu Ruiyu insisted: "No, Marshal, I can go back by myself." Zhang Hanqing sent Yu Yifan away, but "arranged" a car to send her away. Isn't this treatment obviously different? Any girl with some thoughts will have ideas.
But Yu Yifan rushed over and said: "Then let's go together. We can send Miss Gu home first, and then I will go back to school. This way my uncle can go home near——, uh, uncle, where do you live?"
"Zhang Hanqing was dumbfounded. He didn't know anything and still looked thoughtful. Only Yu Yifan could do it. From his understanding, Yu Yifan has been a smart girl since she was a child. It's so cute to make such a mistake. In Yu Yifan's mind, he somewhat felt that this was to protect him, and he had to watch him and Gu Ruiyu separate with his own eyes before he could feel at ease. Could it be that I am so unbearable in her mind?
But he didn’t know that Yu Yifan arranged this so that he could talk to him more. I haven’t seen you for more than a year. My uncle is very tall.He is handsome, has the temperament of a leader, and has the energy to stand out despite thousands of people passing by, which makes people fall in love with him. And, she had a lot more to say.
Gu Ruiyu’s home is a two-story house, which is small and located in a relatively remote area. It can be seen that her family situation is not very good. But to have such a small building in the concession is not bad at all. Her family must have a certain status.
The convoy of cars stopped downstairs, alerting the people upstairs. When Gu Ruiyu got off the bus, a head poked out from behind the gate. But behind the bright light, Zhang Hanqing did not see him. Gu Ruiyu waved goodbye to Zhang Hanqing by the door. The white silhouette was getting farther and farther in the night, but Zhang Hanqing felt that his heart was getting closer to her
Suddenly, a bright hand appeared in front of his eyes and flashed past him. Zhang Hanqing turned his head in surprise, only to see Yu Yifan staring at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Little uncle, stop looking, it's so dark, how about I get you a flashlight?"
Seeing that it was her prank, Zhang Hanqing was a little embarrassed. He was so embarrassed that the girl he picked up was captured alive. He said insincerely: "What nonsense are you talking about? Well, that Yifan, are you struggling to go to school now? What kind of job do you want to do in the future? Is school fun?"
Yu Yifan ignored him and said leisurely after a while: "You don't have to hide it, I know you don't want to ask this question." She suddenly became happy again: "Don't worry, I won't tell my aunt. You are so good, It would be weird if no girl likes you, but you have to be nice."
Zhang Hanqing almost ran away, if he hadn't been trapped by the car. However, he didn't know what Yu Yifan was going to do with this "good thing"? Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to ask.
? ? Originally, with beauty by his side, time would fly by quickly, but in Zhang Hanqing’s opinion, it’s such a long journey. After finally arriving at school, after Yu Yifan got off the car, she ran to Zhang Hanqing's ear and said sarcastically: "Little uncle, you won't blame me for disturbing your elegant meeting with the beautiful woman today, right?"
Dare to love, this little Nizi deliberately made trouble! When Zhang Hanqing shot at her like a dagger filled with passion, she had already escaped from the car and slipped away happily, leaving him dumbfounded. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

After the terms were negotiated, the host and the guest had a good time, and from then on the two parties became a family.
As one of the newly promoted young marshal’s economic team, Liang Yanqing really does his best. He conducted a detailed analysis of the big guys in Tianjin's industrial and commercial circles, explained their personality traits and political tendencies to Zhang Hanqing one by one, and proposed strategies to win over and divide them. He is worthy of being a long-time comprador, and he often hits the nail on the head and corroborates Zhu Qiqian and Liang Shiyi's opinions. In many cases, he has more access to the inside story than them, so he is indeed an insider.
Zhang Hanqing is very happy that the Tianjin Investment Committee has Zhu Qiqian, Liang Shiyi, and Xiong Xiling who are capable businessmen, and has added an industry leader Liang Yanqing to serve as the president, and the momentum has finally been built up. Unlike Liang Yanqing who focused on the economy, his focus was on politics.
The fact that these important figures from different camps are now unified under the Feng Faction shows one thing: the strength of the Feng Faction lies not only in the military, but also in truly uniting elites from all walks of life. This is a manifestation of strength.
The accumulation of talents has the Matthew effect. With these tycoons taking the stage, I believe Zhang Hanqing’s career in Tianjin will have a brilliant future. So far, half of his work here has been completed, but there is one more thing, how should he say it?
There is no need for him to embarrass himself, Liang Yanqing has already started making arrangements to prepare lunch. Whether as a master or as a future ally, he needs to make some gestures. Moreover, it is also an honor to have a banquet with a well-known young marshal from Beijing and Tianjin. Zhang Hanqing happily accepted the invitation, so the three brothers Liang Laikui, Liang Liankui and Liang Wenkui, who were also juniors, warmly invited him to visit Liang Mansion.
The Liang family was so big that in addition to the pavilions and pavilions, it also had a tennis court, which was rare at the time. In this regard, Liang Laikui said proudly: "Other families all play horseback riding and archery, but we Liang brothers and sisters usually like to play tennis."
Zhang Hanqing then deliberately said: "It turns out there is a sister in the house. Xueliang should go and visit her, otherwise it would be too rude." The youngest of the three Liang brothers, Wen Kui, was in his early thirties. When he shouted like this, there was no problem with his speech. The relationship between the two families is already very close, and it makes sense logically.
Liang Laikui didn't know it was a trick, he really thought it was Zhang Hanqing's courtesy, and he praised in his heart: "He is really a general, and he is knowledgeable and courteous at first glance." But he smiled and said: "The young commander doesn't know something. My younger sisters, except for the fifth younger sister who is already married, are not very old. In terms of seniority, they all call you brother."
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "I made the mistake of preconception, thinking that Brother Liang is much older than me, haha." The Liang Laikui brothers also laughed.
The group of people approached the Liang family’s tennis court, which was located behind the rockery and nestled among the greenery. It was very relaxing. The venue is still very primitive and is a hard court, which is made of gravel, asphalt or cement. Its biggest advantage is that it is weatherproof, sturdy and durable, and requires almost no maintenance. It is the so-called all-weather golf course popular abroad.
This condition was already quite good at the time: grass courts were expensive to build and required dedicated personnel to maintain and manage them, and the cost was also high; land courts were labor-intensive and material-intensive to build, and maintenance and repairs were also very difficult; and acrylic plastic surfaces and roll materials Plastics have not yet been born, and ordinary people have never seen this new thing. Considering Old Man Liang's stingy nature, it is rare to spend a lot of money to do this.
Seeing that Zhang Hanqing was very interested, Liang Laikui introduced: "Originally, my father was not very interested in this, but Jiumei liked it, so he arranged to build this land. There are usually no outsiders, just us brothers and sisters playing around. If the young marshal wants to play a few games, we brothers can play with him."
Zhang Hanqing was not polite and nodded in agreement. He was a good athlete in his previous life, and now he has developed a good body during his long military career, so he is naturally not afraid. Basically, except for a few sports activities that require mental or technical training, as long as you have enough physical strength, you can always play a lot. This tennis ball is a combination of speed and power. Anyone who has played badminton can basically practice it.
? Originally, when Liang Laikui saw Zhang Hanqing’s status as a young man, he thought that with his temperament as a young man, playing tennis was just for fun, so he had the idea of ????compromising before going on the court. In short, he should not let him lose too embarrassingly. Having been with his father for a long time, he has long been aware of his father's thoughts. It seems that he is going to take this ship, so he already treats Zhang Hanqing as an honored guest in his mind.
But he forgot that he himself was also one of the rich children at the same time, and his body was also exhausted by long-term communication. In terms of physical confrontation, he is not the same as Zhang Hanqing who grew up in the military camp. In the first few rounds, he was still willing to give in, but when Zhang Hanqing made another moveHe was obviously exhausted when the ferocious spike and rapid saw hit him.
Zhang Hanqing was not used to this thing at first, but with Liang Laikui as a "sparing partner", he mastered the basic skills in a short time, and at the same time, he took control of the situation because of his abundant physical strength. While sweating profusely, the physical stress of the past few days was released, and even my mood became particularly good. He defeated Liang Laikui and defeated Liang Wenkui and Liang Liankui.
The four of them took a nap, and Liang Laikui gasped and said, "Young Marshal seems to be a veteran in playing tennis. How many years of experience does he have?" From the posture, gestures, and skill of dribbling, Zhang Hanqing has considerable experience. of.
Zhang Hanqing said proudly: "To be honest, this is my first time fighting."
He didn’t brag about this. He had never played with it personally in the past and future lives. But this does not mean that he will be inferior to others. Thinking back to the beginning, basketball, football, table tennis, and badminton were all just for fun. Although I have never played tennis before, as long as I understand the rules, have enough physical strength, and understand by analogy, it is not difficult.
Liang Laikui said with some exaggeration: "The young marshal is indeed a genius. He leads troops well and even plays well."
Zhang Hanqing recovered quickly, and he was eager to fight again. He laughed and said, "Although these brothers are the masters, please don't show mercy to Xueliang." The three brothers of the Liang family all said with a wry smile: "Young Marshal's physical strength is very good." Okay, we brothers can’t stay with you any longer. If we fight again, we’ll die, so we’re going to hang up the fight-free card today.”
Then I heard a clear female voice next to me saying, "Young marshal, don't bully the Liang family. How about letting Qingzhu play a game with you?" From behind the rockery, a girl who was about to stand up appeared.
The first thing Zhang Hanqing saw was the one-piece light green short skirt, which unexpectedly exposed her slender pink and white legs. She has a slim figure, and her long hair just reaches her thin waist. She smiles before she speaks, but it makes people feel that this is what Xiaojiabiyu should be. Zhang Hanqing's heart "thumped", it turned out that the other principal who came to the Liang family this time, Liang Qingzhu, appeared on the stage. In fact, he had already noticed someone hiding behind the rockery, but he knew from the faint green skirt and legs that the person "peeping" was a woman, so he pretended not to know as a gentleman.
Hearing this, Liang Wenkui was the most victorious and said quickly: "Nine sisters, come quickly, the young marshal is your opponent."
After confirming the origin of this woman, Zhang Hanqing looked at it carefully. Liang Qingzhu was only fifteen or sixteen years old. He had already guessed this. After all, since he could be classmates with Yu Yifan, his age shouldn't be too big. She has regular facial features, no makeup on her face, but it is unusually fair. When she smiles, she reveals two small dimples, which is very cute. No wonder Zhang Xueliang in the official history still misses her when he grows old. It turns out that not only her experience is sympathetic, but also her appearance probably accounts for a lot of it.
Liang Qingzhu felt embarrassed when she saw Zhang Hanqing staring directly at her, but she didn't feel angry. This young marshal whose reputation spread far and wide outside Beijing and Tianjin, it was difficult not to let people know about his deeds. Not to mention his illustrious life experience, just the things he did are enough to make Qingshi famous. What's more, he is so young, so handsome, and so kind.
Yes, cordial. Zhang Hanqing has always been very kind to women, especially young women and beautiful women. Women are meant to be pampered, even if it's just to get her into bed. Hong Mudan was his first woman. Of course, she could not continue to accompany him because of her background, but he still found a good future for her, and she had no worries about food and clothing. Huang Ruqing, who had an overnight relationship with him, although it was not possible to compensate her directly What, but he still tried his best to find a good job for his father Huang Xianting: President of the Northeast Chamber of Commerce and Chairman of the Senate of Liaoning Province.
Her uncle Huang Gongting had a prosperous official career. Although he originally had the experience of being the director of the Liaoning Civil Affairs Department, he became the chairman of Suiyuan Province many years after he was deposed. He knew that this would not be possible without Zhang Hanqing's contribution.
It’s not that Zhang Hanqing was completely following personal feelings. Huang Gongting is capable, and now because of his marriage relationship with the Huang family, it is not a bad idea to keep his private relationship public. But this arrangement made Huang Wanqing inexplicably grateful.
She is not the kind of woman who doesn’t know the general situation, and Zhang Hanqing is also interested in her innocence. Since she followed him, except for the time when she wanted to enter the Marshal's Mansion before the marriage, she had not made any personal requests to Zhang Hanqing. But the more this happened, the more Zhang Hanqing liked her, and even Yu Fengzhi had a good impression of her. Therefore, Zhang Hanqing's care for the entire Huang family inevitably involves his recognition of her.
With authority in hand, he has the calmness of a superior; even though he is young, he has wisdom that is unparalleled in the world. Coupled with his naturally good looks, it's strange that women don't flock to him. Fortunately, his wife and concubine were beautiful, and with the remaining power of peace in the backyard, Zhang Hanqing was able to move among women with ease. Despite this, he still interacts with every woman seriously to achieve respect in terms of personality. Unexpectedly, his actions made him more popular with women. If we were to evaluate the best “friend of women” of our times, it would be Xiao Zhang.
Therefore, it is very normal for Zhang Hanqing to smile and look at Liang Qingzhu. It is not entirely because she is a beauty, but because of his conditioned reflex: "It turns out that Miss Ninth is here. It is a blessing to be a good scholar." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?”, it must be Xiao Zhang.

Chapter 437 Green Bamboo

As soon as Liang Qingzhu appeared on the scene, the scene became a little more lively.
As the hosts, the three brothers of the Liang family tried their best to play ball with Zhang Hanqing, but they always lacked a bit of flavor. First, the two parties are not familiar with each other, and second, there is a huge gap in age and experience, which makes it seem like they are trying to be happy. As soon as Miss Ninth came out, the distance between the two parties was shortened in an instant.
It is said that there is no entertainment without women, and it makes sense. She was only well-known to Zhang Hanqing at first and had never met him, but it did not affect her familiarity with Zhang Hanqing. From Yu Yifan's mouth, she heard a lot of stories about Zhang Hanqing. The image she perceived from a girl's perspective was far more frontal, taller and more peculiar than the one that appeared in newspapers and radio stations.
It is strange because Yu Yifan always brushes aside his "great achievements". Being in the army, conquering Hulunbuir and Mongolia, and recovering the Middle East Road and Mokuowei were all topics in a man's world. She was more interested in Zhang Hanqing's literary talent.
"Poppy Poppies - On the Pillow", "Qing Ping Le - Liupan Mountain", "Facing the Sea, Flowers Falling and Blooming", "I Love This Land", and "Phoenix Nirvana" are all her favorites. These poems may be extremely touching, sometimes passionate, sometimes full of petty bourgeois sentiments, and also have the most simple and universal love, and the spirit of "I have died nine times without regrets." What kind of man is this to have such chivalrous tenderness?
Now, this young marshal who is famous all over the world is right in front of him, smiling and amiable, as cute as the big brother next door. His eyes were hot and handsome, and for some reason, her heart was beating fast.
"Young Marshal's skills are so good. You can't tell it's his first time playing. It can only be explained by the ability of a capable person. Although Qingzhu has been learning tennis for a few years, he knows that he is no match for Young Marshal —— -Wait a moment, Young Marshal, do you want to accept one or two concessions?"
This is flattery. The beautiful lady Zhang Hanqing was in front of her, and she was in a good mood: "Miss Ninth, are you being ironic? Be humble first, and then beat me back to my original shape with a fierce attack. This is called lifting me up high and throwing me down hard. I will not be easily fooled."
He said it in a funny way, and Liang Qingzhu couldn't help but smile: "Young Marshal, this is laying the groundwork. He will kill me to pieces."
Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but look at her neat and clean short skirt and her smooth and white pink legs, and his heart was filled with excitement: "It's not that there's no armor left, it's that there's no clothes left!" She is the same age as Yu Yifan, and they are both. When love first arises, the body also gradually blooms. For a man with rich experience like him, it is obvious at a glance. In comparison, Yu Yifan was more talented, but due to his seniority, he did not dare to think too much. But for Liang Qingzhu, it doesn't hurt to think about it.
However, he could only keep this thought deep in his heart, but said: "I hope Miss Jiu will not let me lose too embarrassingly." While the two were having a lively chat, they had already entered the court, and Zhang Hanqing gentlemanly asked Miss Liang Jiu to serve. Liang Qingzhu has a slender figure, and the same applies to tennis. With a shout, the ball floated over gently along an arc.
There is a difference in physical strength between men and women, which can be seen from the strength of the serve. If it were the Liang brothers, Zhang Hanqing would have turned sideways and pulled the ball back. The direction of the ball was just right. But when he was ready to greet her, he suddenly remembered that there was a weak and weak girl opposite him, and he couldn't use his strength. Not only that, he also had to work hard to hit the ball next to Miss Liang Jiu to prevent her from running around and wasting energy.
In addition to exercising, playing ball also has a social function. Playing with beautiful women is also a kind of enjoyment. If he was killed in a few blows, Zhang Hanqing would not be a romantic young marshal, but a melon boy.
Despite this, his strength is still a bit heavy. He can't be as weak as a woman, right? There are a few brothers watching next to you. Some things should not be done too much.
Liang Qingzhu took it lightly and knocked it back lightly. The two of them fought each other for dozens of rounds, but the scene was like a ballroom dance, tepid and complementary. The whole field was filled with the laughter of the two of them. Zhang Hanqing tried his best to ensure that the ball would not miss. He had to catch the ball steadily and return it correctly, which was quite difficult.
But he felt strange. From Liang Wenkui's tone, he had considerable confidence in Miss Ninth's arrival. It seemed that his tennis skills must be good, at least he would not lose to any of them. But when fighting against herself, she clearly did not feel such a powerful challenge. Any one of the three Liang brothers was much stronger than her!
How could he have imagined that before this "game", Liang Qingzhu had already set the tone to be gentle and honest. Just watching the battle, Zhang Hanqing seemed fierce, but when it came to skills, he was still a bit behind. Just facing him, it is difficult to regard him as an opponent, especially when he repeatedly "feeds" him, making people unable to mention the murderous intention at all.
Both sides respect and give in to each other, so although both sides are running aggressively, they are happy but not chaotic. From time to timeDuring the transition between offense and defense, they did not forget to look at each other and smile, and the scene was very harmonious.
The most interesting thing was Zhang Hanqing. Looking directly at Liang Qingzhu, he saw that Miss Ninth appeared to be thin, but in fact she was very healthy. At least she was as light as a bird when she ran. He could tell at a glance that she was doing physical exercise regularly. of. Some parts were obviously smaller than Yu Yifan's, but in a blink of an eye, they seemed to have endless potential, which really caught his eye.
????????????????? And the little bits of beauty that Liang Qingzhu’s short skirt occasionally revealed during the fluttering made his heart itch. The kind of beauty that he wanted to hide but couldn’t stop, even Zhang Hanqing, a veteran of flowers, couldn’t bear it. "As soon as the incident here is over, I will go back to Shenyang to find the two ladies, otherwise something will happen if I stay here for a long time." He thought in his heart.
Liang Qingzhu felt the heat in his eyes, and of course she couldn't bear to do anything, but when she caught a glimpse of his eyes, she felt even more embarrassed and happy. A woman likes her appearance, but isn't this young man too frank? Both sides have things on their minds, so naturally their hands are not heavy and they have very few clever tricks.
The three brothers of the Liang family were puzzled. The young marshal did not have superb tennis skills. He only relied on physical strength and fierceness. Jiumei knew her level well. She beat several brothers before without any negotiation. Her serve was even sharper than that of the three brothers. Why was she acting like a sheep now? Could it be that her way was blocked?
“And the same goes for the young marshal. He neither used his full strength nor used any tricky tricks. Where did the fierceness in fighting us just now go?
After watching it for a while, Liang Laikui finally realized that this was not playing ball, but flirting, okay? Her parents have been very fond of this ninth sister since she was a child, and they have some thoughts that they can't even think about. He quietly turned his head to look at his two younger brothers, only to see two pairs of unpredictable eyes, Wen Kui and Lian Kui, glance over. Everyone looked at each other and tacitly watched the battle attentively.
In tennis matches, it is rare for a game to last for hundreds of rounds. In history, Rafael Nadal and Toni Nadal played a record-breaking 680 rounds, which lasted about 29 minutes. However, Zhang Hanqing and Liang Qingzhu still had no results after playing for twenty minutes. It seemed that they planned to break the record. However, considering that this record will be exceeded for many decades, in fact, the two of them have already set a record.
Time passed little by little, and the people in the field became more and more harmonious, but the people watching the game were already tired. Liang Laikui coughed slightly and said meaningfully: "Young Marshal and Jiumei are really rivals. If we fight this time, three and five rounds, we will fight until dark." The other two brothers also felt sad. Qi Yan and Qi Yan all laughed and joked, and Wen Kui even said: "Jiu Mei and Young Marshal, please work harder and decide the winner quickly, so we can have lunch."
Miss Liang Jiu blushed to her ears when she heard this. Fortunately, it was not surprising that she was panting during exercise and had a blush on her face. She glanced at Zhang Hanqing, who was enjoying the happiness of being with beauty complacently, and she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. "It makes you proud," she thought, and the palm of her hand naturally became a little heavier.
Zhang Hanqing was not sure what he was thinking when he suddenly felt that the ball from the opposite side was coming straight at him like a string with a strong force, and it was tricky and ruthless. Coming from a military background, he instinctively blocked the attack and bounced it back before it hit the ground.
Liang Qingzhu knew it was not good as soon as the ball was released. A fierce dunk in this kind of gentle skill was no different from a surprise attack. In normal times, this was also her specialty. Her brothers often failed and failed every time. Zhang Hanqing's mind was not on playing basketball, and the incident happened suddenly, so it was naturally difficult for him to take over. For a moment, he suddenly saw the ball coming straight towards his heart, more than twice as fast as before, and he subconsciously ducked down.
If she were to move to the side, she would most likely pass him by, but she chose to go downwards. So, the tennis ball hit her hard on the left breast without any bias, which was a sore feeling.
Zhang Hanqing hit back the tennis ball before it touched the ground, so he lost according to the rules. However, the winner, Miss Liang Jiu, did not let out a cheer. Instead, she squatted on the ground with her hands on her chest, and the sound sounded like a painful groan. Throwing away the racket, Zhang Hanqing strode to the opposite court, squatted down and held Miss Liang Jiu's shoulders, and asked urgently: "Where is the injury?" The concern in his tone came from the bottom of his heart. After all, Qingzhu was still just A little girl.
Miss Liang Jiu has returned to normal from the initial pain, but in the face of Zhang Hanqing's concern, she can only grit her teeth and shake her head. Not only can't we talk about this place, we can't let him know about it!
But Zhang Hanqing’s fiery eyes had already seen some clues from the blush that suddenly rose on her neck. Still need to guess? She was covering that place tightly. Hey, if you want to help her rub it, I guess she won't want to, so you can only be loving but without results.
In front of the Liang brothers, Zhang Hanqing apologized and begged for mercy, leaving Miss Liang Jiu speechless and could only hold back her aching body and force a smile. Zhang Hanqing made an unintentional mistake, she knew it, and of course she wouldn't blame him. A few careless brothers didn't take it seriously. If you exercise, there will inevitably be bumps and bumps.
With this little episode, the relationship between the two has gotten closer. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??There will inevitably be bumps and bumps.

Chapter 440 Goodbye Zhou Xuexi
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Since even Liang Yanqing suggested that he visit Zhou Xuexi, it shows his influence. For the sake of the overall situation, Zhang Hanqing decided to visit again.
But before leaving, someone unexpectedly came to visit him. This person was very familiar to him. Hearing this name, he seemed to remember that there was someone beside him who had been forgotten. Damn it.
This person is Yang Yuting.
Yang Yuting, a former important member of the Feng Faction, former General Counselor of Zhang Zuolin and Supervisor of the Shenyang Arsenal, was deposed due to the incident of privately raising troops and has been living in seclusion in Tianjin for two years, relying on the financial support of Tianjin's giant businessmen. Although life was not miserable, for him, who was ambitious, this kind of life was a torment, especially when news about the Feng clan reached his ears one after another.
Han Linchun, who was also a member of the sergeant sect with him, was promoted to general and became an independent frontier official;
Guo Songling, whom he had always looked down upon, rose from a major general to a lieutenant general and then to a general in just one year. He became the chief of staff of the North China Army who controlled the Fengjun in Guan Nei, and became a hot military and political figure with three divisions;
My usual title of General Counselor of the Fengjun Army was also taken away by Jiang Baili, who had been in power for many years
He thought that with his ability, Zhang Zuolin would remember him one day. However, there are various signs that the Feng clique did not become as politically unsmooth as imagined because of his departure, which would remind Zhang Zuolin of his good deeds and reactivate it. Marshal Fengyun employs talents in an eclectic way, and there are more and more new and old talents in the Fengclan. With the flowers blooming everywhere in the northeast, northwest, and Guan, the strength of the Fengcun is at its peak. As time goes by, my influence in the Northeast will gradually become dull, and there is a possibility of being completely marginalized. I am very anxious.
He happened to hear that Zhang Hanqing was in Tianjin. He no longer cared about his insistence, and finally put aside his arrogance and went to visit the young marshal in person with a shy face.
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing did not give him any trouble. Not only did he greet him in person, but he also said sincerely the first time he saw him: "I have been preparing to visit the General Counselor in person for a long time because my discussions with the business community on the economic layout of the customs have been delayed in recent days. . I think the general counselor is still a member of his family, so he has to settle the guests first." He used Yang Yuting's old position as a match, which was his habit when he was Zhang Zuolin's counselor, to show that he would not forget the past.
Yang Yuting, who was at a loss for words, was deeply moved by the word "my family". He said with shame, "Thank you, Marshal, for thinking about me, but I won't call you General Counselor from now on. Yang is really ashamed and can't bear it." rise."
Zhang Hanqing was also very pleased to see Yang Yuting, who had always thought highly of himself, correct his attitude. He always knows what he is capable of, and is one of the few people in the Feng family who has a long-term vision. His strategic thinking is even stronger than that of Guo Songling, but he is more selfish. If used properly, it will be a great help to the Feng family. Who has no fault? So he also got off the donkey along the slope and gave him steps. As soon as I thought about this, I kept telling lies.
He waved his hand and said, "I can definitely afford it! My father often talks to me about the General Councilor. When he mentions it, he always sighs and says that since the General Councilor left, he always feels that there is something missing around him, and there is no one who can even come up with ideas. . I want to recall the General Councilor. I am afraid that others will criticize me, and I am also afraid that the General Councilor will remember the previous grudge and not come back. This time when Xueliang came to Tianjin, my father even told me in person that he wanted me to find out the tone of the General Councilor and said that no matter what, We have to invite the General Counsel back."
At this point, he himself felt a little moved: "Since the General Counselor is here, let Xueliang invite you. After I pay homage to Mr. Zhou Xuexi, we will go back to Shenyang to see the commander-in-chief. If he sees you go back, who knows? What a joy."
Yang Yuting was also deeply moved. I don’t know if he was cooperating with Zhang Hanqing’s acting, but his words came out anyway: “I sincerely appreciate the young commander’s kind words and the commander’s affection. I, Yang Yuting, must return to Shenyang to see the commander and apologize in person. . But in order to atone for my sins, I will accompany the young marshal to visit Mr. Zhou first. In terms of friendship, I still have a little bit of friendship with him."
Seeing how positive he was, Zhang Hanqing happily agreed. Dealing with these businessmen, Zhang Hanqing felt really tired. How could he be happy on the battlefield and in the temple giving guidance to the country? It couldn't be better to have Yang Yuting in the front line.
So in order to show that he still has value, Yang Yuting, who was granted amnesty, quickly established a relationship with the Zhou family. On a sunny morning, Zhang Hanqing came to visit the northern industrial giant in person.
Zhou Xuexi is an old friend of Zhang Hanqing. It is said that the cooperation in Fushun Coal Mine made both Zhang Hanqing and him a lot of money, and the cooperation between the two parties was quite pleasant. Up to now, China's industry has "expanded in the South and in the Northern Zhou Dynasty" and its reputation is even better than before. However, Yuan Shikai failed in his attempt to proclaim himself emperor and died in Beijing. Zhou Xuexi lost his backer, lost all the previous preferential treatment, and various industries became targets of erosion and competition by warlords. The so-called "self-knowledge of suffering" may seem glamorous, but in fact the banner of the Zhou Group is swaying in the wind and rain.
It seems that in order to verify the magicAs the saying goes, the young people he interacted with back then are no longer what they used to be. They are far from what they used to be when they had nothing to say and nothing to do. Not only was it said that he was able to lead troops to suppress bandits at a young age, which impressed all the veteran generals in the army and called him a general, but last year's nationally praised victory of the "Anmeng Army" also gave him unprecedented honors. The "Zhongwei Adaptation" has shocked the military circles to this day.
And he launched a world-famous land reform in Xinmin and the outstanding performance of the New Deal in Northeast China. I heard that the lower-class people outside the pass praised him. He also accepted many disaster victims and gave them food. This is an amazing achievement. Woolen cloth.
His true performance in disaster relief and outstanding performances in the cultural field have added a lot of poetry to his reputation.
All kinds of civil and martial arts skills gave him a legendary aura.
Although he had heard the name of Young Marshal for a long time, the name "one of the four young masters of the Republic of China" was just a romantic reputation, and it had not attracted the slightest attention from him before. He never thought that the young man in the legend was standing in front of him now, the same young man who was a little raw and a little wild. Recalling all the past events, he gained a lot of respect for the young man in front of him, not just because he was the eldest son of the "Northeast King".
However, unlike the arrogant attitude of warlords in the past, at least Zhang Hanqing still respected Zhou Xuexi after he "made his fortune". Before he sat down, he opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Zhou, Xueliang has taken the liberty to visit again. I just ask for Mr. Zhou's help to do a few more things." This is a major event that benefits the country and the people." Zhou Xuexi is a shrewd person who is familiar with business politics. Instead of beating around the bush with him, it would be more effective to go straight to the point.
After Zhou Xuexi had done the courtesy of host and guest, he said cheerfully: "Zhou is just a businessman. The young commander controls the Northeast, but he needs wind and rain. It is an honor for me to be a guest in this humble house. As for helping me The so-called major event that benefits the country and the people is an exaggeration. The young commander is short of military pay in the army, and Zhou is not talented. He also earned some money when he was young, and can barely afford it with a donation of 300,000 to 500,000 yuan. "
Zhang Hanqing laughed and said: "I remember when Mr. Zhou first met Xueliang, he would sponsor the tuition without saying anything. Does Mr. Zhou really think that Xueliang has a hobby of playing in the autumn wind?"
He smiled brightly and said: "What kind of person does Mr. Zhou regard Xueliang? Although Xueliang is short of money, he does not have the idea of ??robbing families and homes. The Fengjun does not take a stitch from the people. It is an army that serves the people. Xueliang How can we destroy the reputation we have built up with so much hard work just because of a mere three to five hundred thousand? Moreover, Xueliang would not be so short-sighted in killing the goose that lays the goose to lay the eggs."
Zhou Xuexi was worried. The young marshal had a big appetite and spoke with high-sounding words. It seemed that he would never be able to get away with it today. Among his current family businesses, half of the four yarn mills of Huaxin Textile Company, the largest in his family: Tianjin, Qingdao, Tangshan, and Weihui, are in the Fengcian territory; most of the other industries are also in this area.
At this time, the 28th Division of the Fengjun Army advanced northward to the Langfang-Xianghe-Baodi line. The northeastern part bordered the 16th Division of Rehe in Jixian, and had completely controlled Tianjin and northeastern Hebei. In two days, The former Fengjun military government made it clear that Tangshan and Qinhuangdao would be merged into the Rehe Special Zone to form Rehe Province. After experiencing many crises of plunder and robbery, the Zhou Group is now facing the biggest crisis since its establishment - most of its family property is owned by this young man. During the warlord's war, many families were destroyed and people were killed! Matters of life and death are not as pleasant as what the young marshal said.
At that time, Zhou Xuexi laughed and said: "Young Marshal is joking. Fengjun has done nothing wrong to the common people. Even though I am far away in Jinmen, I have heard about it. I don't know what the Young Marshal needs me to do. I will do my best." I don't know the truth. , it is better to be submissive and obedient.
Zhang Hanqing said: "The Northeast has mobilized the power of autonomous provinces and governments to form industry associations in all walks of life, led by the government in the hope of realizing industrial rejuvenation. Because the government's financial resources are limited, support from all parties is urgently needed. Regardless of the private sector, Individuals or companies can set up factories and mines independently or as joint ventures, and the government will provide protection.
At present, the government is gradually relaxing control over light industry, agriculture, and processing manufacturing, and encouraging hot money to join. For new or special industries, the government promises to be tax-free within 3 years and ensure their continued operation. Large-scale industrial zones have been planned in cities such as Jinzhou, Shenyang, Fushun, Tieling, Changchun, and Harbin, and the government is responsible for land planning and the arrangement of transportation ancillary facilities.
We are also preparing to set up free commercial centers in Tianjin and Qinhuangdao to facilitate the exchange of goods within and outside the customs. All this requires the joint efforts of northern industry players. We hope to use Mr. Zhou’s influence to speed up this process. "
Zhou Xuexi has also heard about the Northeast New Deal. He is also a loyal advocate and practitioner who is keen on saving the country through industry. In the early years of the Republic of China, warlords had been fighting for many years and stripped off heavy taxes to fill the army. Road tax deeds in various places were all kinds of people pursuing their own selfish desires. Local ruffians cheated and extorted in every possible way. Corrupt officials and their subordinates colluded with government officials and businessmen in various ways. Ordinary businessmen and industrialists encountered many difficulties. It is deeply felt.
Can the Northeastern United Provincial Government really encourage competition and industry development as claimed? He was a little happy, but more doubtful: warlord corruption was deeply rooted. Even if the top brass of the Northeast government had this idea, could the executives implement it completely from top to bottom? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com), he is deeply aware of the difficulties encountered by ordinary businessmen and industrialists.

For the Jingguo Army, if the Zhili clique replaced the Anhui clique in Shaanxi, it would be tantamount to driving out wolves through the front door and entering tigers through the back door. Sun Yat-sen was at another low ebb in Shanghai. In order to leave a spark of revolution, it would be a better choice to hand over the entire army to the Feng clique.
And the various actions of Zhang Hanqing’s Northwest People’s Army that benefited the country and the people were exactly what Hu Jingyi had thought about for many years. So Zhang Hanqing's proposal was accepted, and both parties agreed that the Jingguo Army would be controlled by Xu Lanzhou and reorganized at an appropriate time.
The situation in Shaanxi is complicated, with Zhizhi, Anhui, Feng, and local factions mixed with the previous troops aiding Shaanxi. If this situation, which includes political struggles in addition to military affairs, is not handled properly, it will not only waste this hard-won opportunity, but also cause Adding variables to the People's Army joining two new divisions. Under this circumstance, in early October, Zhang Hanqing entered Shaanxi via Rehe and Chahar, with full authority to handle northwest affairs.
When he came to the northwest again, he was confident and proposed a way to inform all parties: "In order to reduce the burden on the people of Shaanxi, all troops from other provinces will withdraw from Shaanxi. The Northwest People's Army and Feng Yuxiang's troops will maintain the status quo."
On the surface, this power supply is the most fair, and in the name of considering the people of Shaanxi, it is hard to refuse. Our young marshal sets an example and takes the initiative to maintain the status quo under advantageous conditions. What else do others have to be dissatisfied with?
So this result was immediately accepted by the central government. President Xu Shichang specifically asked Cao Kun, but the direct boss remained silent. However, Wu Peifu was very dissatisfied because the People's Army crossed the dividing line previously recognized by Zhili and Fengcheng and seized large areas of Hanzhong, Shaanxi. To maintain the status quo is to allow the fruits of their victory to be digested.
But the People's Army has four elite divisions, and the use of force means completely confronting Feng. He was not prepared, so he asked Cao Kun for his opinion.
Cao Kun understood this and said: "Northern Shaanxi is poor. The boy from Zhang Zuolin's family can't stay there anymore, so naturally he has to find a richer place. From what I know about Zhang Zuolin, you can't even think about what he swallowed." Take it back again, unless you rob it. I think his kid has the same style as him. Just maintain the status quo. Now is not the time to take action. "
When the boss said this, Wu Peifu could only accept it. Wu Xintian's 7th Division retreated to Hubei. Feng Yuxiang had no one to rely on and was trying hard to eat up the 20th Division left by Yan Xiangwen. He could only hold his nose and agree to a truce.
In this way, the People's Army has taken the initiative in Shaanxi, resulting in Feng Yuxiang only occupying a small territory in southern Shaanxi. To the east was Henan Governor Zhao Ti, who was secretly affiliated with him, and his old boss Wu Peifu was training troops there. To the south was the traditional boundary of Wang Zhanyuan, the direct line of Hubei, which had an old rift. In addition, Feng Yuxiang was unable to control the administrative resources of Shaanxi Province, and Feng Yuxiang's development was hindered.
"But the successful smoothing of the Shaanxi Incident can be regarded as Zhang Hanqing's great contribution. Anyway, most of northern and southern Shaanxi are under the control of the People's Army system. Zhang Zuolin instructed Jin Yunpeng's government to issue an appointment announcement: "Han Linchun was promoted to the governor of Shaanxi, Zhang Hanqing was appointed as the patrol envoy of Shaanxi and Gansu and the governor of Gansu, and Xu Lanzhou was appointed as the governor of northern Shaanxi. The military envoy, Feng Yuxiang, is the military envoy of southern Shaanxi, and the commander of the Zhensong Army, Liu Zhenhua, is the governor of the province."
At this time, Zhang Hanqing, who had just crossed the Yellow River, did not know that he had been promoted from the governor of Gansu to the patrol envoy of Shaanxi and Gansu, and to a certain extent he could be on an equal footing with his father.
Marching along the Yellow River from Yulin in northern Shaanxi to southern Shaanxi, on the other side of the meander, Zhang Hanqing had a frank conversation with Yan Xishan, the Shanxi governor who came after hearing the news, about the situation in Shaanxi.
Logically speaking, with Zhang Hanqing’s current strength and personal status in the northwest, Yan Xishan, a big boss of the Republic of China, would not condescend to welcome him from the countryside. However, Yan Xishan, who has lived in Shanxi for a long time, decided to keep a low profile and see what kind of cards the Feng clique was playing. He also wanted to get some things he wanted to know from Zhang Hanqing to explore the political trend.
This is the first time Zhang Hanqing has come into contact with this overlord who has a considerable status in modern Chinese history. Although he has read many biographies and legends about him in history books and actually met him, he did not make any waves. Since meeting Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui, Cai E and Jiang Baili, he has developed a certain immunity to celebrities.
First, he has a strong sense of belonging, and he has been closely connected with the times in a series of events, and has gradually become a celebrity of the times; second, he hangs out with a bunch of very awesome people of this era every day. At the same time, Zhang Zuolin, etc., is a big shot in his own right. If he has been in the orchid room for a long time and has not heard its fragrance, that's how it feels.
Yan Xishan did not reach his later status at this time, but the signs were already there. He has Zhao Daiwen in the text and Shang Zhen in the military. He also has two divisions and an unknown number of local garrison troops under his command (the intelligence department said there are no less than 70,000 to 80,000 people, and they can arm at least 100,000 troops in a short period of time), plus Shanxi With abundant coal resources, at least for a period of time, it is not a person with whom to make enemies. So Zhang Hanqing took the initiative to let goThe result of the compromise has nothing to do with it. But if they really want to mix in, they have to take some precautions, right?
"What did Shibo say? The Jin army had not left Shanxi for a long time, and everyone in the world thought that Shibo had become cold-blooded. I thought that Shibo was the first to launch the Revolution of 1911 and was famous all over the world. He could survive many years of changes without falling, and he resolutely proposed that ' "Three Essentials" has made Jin Province unique. How could Shibo be willing to be inferior to others! My father Chang and his nephew Zang Fu were very important people and highly praised Shibo's ability to keep a low profile. They often said that if it weren't for the troubled times in the Northeast, he would have I also want to imitate Shibo and become a loyal supporter of 'protecting the home and the hometown'."
Yan Xishan was as surprised as when Liu Bei lost his chopsticks. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Yan Xishan is indeed wise. As soon as Zhang Hanqing mentioned "passionate", his eyes couldn't help but wander.
Over the years, if I hadn’t concealed myself very well and kept Shanxi out of the various disputes, in the turbulent early years of the Republic of China, I would have no idea who was the host and who was the guest. His "three no's" not only showed all parties that he had no intention of having any involvement in matters outside Shanxi Province, but also warned all parties: Don't take advantage of me in Shanxi!
This kind of "neutrality" allowed Shanxi to successfully escape from the outside world in several changes. The big bosses from Zhizhi, Anhui, and Feng also intentionally or unintentionally did not interfere with his position as the local emperor of Shanxi. However, if he takes the initiative to break this neutrality, will there be some bad developments? "The Jin army will not leave Shanxi for a long time." Could another subtext be "Foreign troops will not enter Shanxi for a long time"?
Many times, the disruption of one balance will cause another balance to lose control. Yan Xishan had never dealt with Zhang Hanqing's power, but Yan Xishan was convinced of the power of the person standing behind him.
Facing the uncertain future of Shaanxi, Lao Yan doubted for the first time whether his idea of ??pursuing it was right. Perhaps, holding on to Shanxi honestly is the basis for survival in this era, right? Regarding the Shaanxi matter, after such inquiring, he decided to stop.
To be honest, Lao Yan’s wisdom is that he is indeed very doubtful about his own political wisdom. In many cases, this denial of oneself occasionally brings unexpected benefits.
Participating in the Revolution of 1911 was the most glorious chapter in Yan Xishan’s life, and it was also the beginning of his rise to prominence in politics. Because of this, Sun Yixian once said when he inspected Taiyuan in September 1912: "Last year's Wuchang Uprising was successful in less than half a year. This is the power of Shanxi and the contribution of Yan Jun and Baichuan. If the Shanxi Uprising had not cut off north-south transportation, Things in the world are unknown."
Yan Xishan was the only person in the country to ascend to the throne of governor when he was young and receive such an evaluation. This was also the ladder that allowed him to become one of the important officials of the Kuomintang.
But at that time, his political vision was no longer good. After Yuan Shikai defaulted on his contract to become president, Yan Xishan willingly became his minion. In the second year of the Republic of China, he announced his separation from the Kuomintang. According to Yuan Shikai's order, he ordered Shanxi "county governors to dissolve all Kuomintang branches" and allowed Yuan's minions to attack him wantonly. , persecuted and even killed members of the alliance, and lost a lot of points within the Kuomintang.
After that, he simply hugged Lao Yuan's thigh, actively supported Yuan's proclaimed emperor and opposed the protector of the law, and became an enemy of the revolution.
However, Lao Yuan's rapid failure gave him a deep understanding of the vagaries of politics. When the three families of Zhi, Wan and Feng were in dispute, he learned his lesson and decided not to participate in the fight between them. He also shouted to the Kuomintang, arguing that his initial support for Yuan "was a measure taken to preserve the revolutionary forces in the north based on Sun Yat-sen's instructions"
It’s a pity that no one paid attention to it. Yu Youren, Guo Jian and others who were close at hand despised Yan's role as a political chameleon and were ashamed to associate with him. They did not lend a helping hand to him when he was at his lowest, which made Lao Yan feel even more lonely
“We are not close to either the Zhili or Anhui cliques, and we almost turned against the Kuomintang. In China’s political arena, there is really no one else who can drink a pot except the Feng clique represented by this guy in front of me. Now, after hearing Zhang Zuolin's evaluation of himself, Yan Xishan thought sadly that not everyone believed in his ability to keep a low profile.
" Considering that there are now hundreds of thousands of host and guest troops in Shaanxi, and the People's Army has also entered in large numbers, a fight is inevitable. Although it is possible to gain some benefits by sending troops by yourself, you don't know who you will offend. It is rude to come back but not reciprocate. Once its sign of "protecting the environment and the people" is smashed, Shanxi, which has always been stable, is in danger of being broken at any time, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Thinking of this, Yan Xishan's originally wavering mind became firm, so his attitude towards Zhang Hanqing was also very sincere: "My nephew, Yan is also a little older than you, so I'd like to call you my nephew (Zhang Hanqing: Shi nephew)" My uncle and my father were officials in the same dynasty, so I deserve this). Since the split of the Beiyang Clan, I have become disheartened. Over the years, I have seen everyone fighting for territory and destroying a good country. The people are in dire straits, and my heart aches!
"I know that I don't have the ability to stabilize the country, and I can't achieve Brother Yuting's ambition and status. I can only settle for the second best and try my best to run Shanxi well so that my fellow villagers can live a good life with less turmoil. Shaanxi Province is separated from Shanxi Province by a river. I have always been afraid that the chaos in Shaanxi will involve Shanxi, so I often make some plans.
Now that my nephew has personally led the Tiger and Wolf troops into Shaanxi, and the war is about to be quelled, what will I think? My nephew is young and promising, and pacifying Shaanxi Province is a matter of time. This time I will tell my nephew the truth: As long as my nephew needs it, I will give my full support to the affairs of Shaanxi Province. Complete??, a stable and peaceful Shaanxi is also a blessing to the people of Jin Province.
I am glad to hear that my nephew has been appointed as the inspection envoy to Shaanxi and Gansu and the governor of Gansu. This is another reason why I came here personally to congratulate my nephew! "
??If Yan Xishan can have such a transformation without hitting the smiling person, what else can be said for Zhang Hanqing? Not only that, he really had to thank Lao Yan for not interfering at such a time. It's not that he is afraid of him, but if there is another Jin army in Shaanxi, it will be detrimental to his overall situation of pacifying the northwest. Lao Yan can know how to advance and retreat, and there is no greater virtue.
He immediately lowered his posture: "My nephew has just learned the news. I think that I have not been able to protect the country and the people like Shibo, but I have been given such an important position. I feel ashamed." (Yan Xishan: I despise your kind. Cheap and good). This is why my nephew hurriedly led the troops into Shaanxi. With his responsibilities, he must contribute to the safety of Shaanxi Province.
When I arrived, my father specially planned with me to quell the chaos in Shaanxi Province, and we had to rely on Shibo's power. When the Shaanxi project was completed, my father strongly recommended Shibo to concurrently serve as the patrol envoy of Shanxi and Suizhou. "
To be honest, Yan Xishan really has no special thoughts about Shaanxi. He just wants to expand his territory. This is what every aspiring warlord will have. But compared to getting Suiyuan, this is quite tempting.
Although Suiyuan is relatively poor and has a relatively smaller population, it cannot stand up to its good geographical location. Shanxi is bounded by the Yellow River to the west and south, the Taihang Mountains to the east, and the Great Wall and the Gobi Desert to the north. Niangzi Pass and Yanmen Pass, the several passages in and out of Shanxi, are easy to defend but difficult to attack.
But the disadvantage lies here, foreign enemies cannot enter, but it is not easy to expand from Shanxi: the Yellow River is not only a defensive moat, but also restricts the Jin army's westward direction; the two provinces of Shandong and Henan in the east are direct base camps, which is definitely not possible Those who dare to challenge; only to the north, Suiyuan and Chahar, where the control forces of all parties are weak, are better breakthrough points.
In the past, the Anhui clique was in power, and Yan Xishan only dared to look at Suiyuan, which was within the Anhui clique's sphere of influence, out of fear of Duan Qirui. When there was a confrontation between Zhi and Anhui, it was broken.
Zhang Hanqing's advance was so fast that the Shanxi clique had no time to respond. The core city of Suiyuan, Guisui, had already fallen into the hands of the Feng clique. Zhang Zuolin holds the title of Economic and Strategic Envoy of Mongolian Xinjiang, and also controls Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan and Xing'an. Both in terms of strength and righteousness, the Feng clan has the upper hand.
In this case, Yan Xishan is satisfied with being able to have the title of patrol envoy to control Suiyuan even in name without any expense. At least he can detect threats from the north in advance. In addition, Lao Yan's vanity was satisfied by being able to be on equal footing with Wu Peifu, the most powerful figure in the political arena (and half a level higher).
Like Zhang Zuolin, he was very tired of Wu Peifu, a rising star who was making a splash in Chinese politics, because in terms of seniority, he was even higher than Wu Peifu's eldest brother Cao Kun, and was one of the elders of the Xinhai Revolution together with Feng Guozhang and Li Yuanhong.
Although he knew that even if he was promoted to patrol envoy, since he could only control Shanxi, this position would still be a virtual title.
Lao Yan and his subordinates are both sensible people. Now that Zhili and Feng are jointly appealing to the Anhui clique, there is no need for the Shanxi gang to get involved. It is the best choice for the two not to help each other. Of course, Zhang Hanqing also gave some verbal sweetness. For example, he promised to guarantee Yan Xishan's status in Shanxi on behalf of the Feng faction, and made an oath with Yan. As long as the Jin army did not help each other on the future battlefield, the Northwest Army He did not commit any crime against the Jin general Qiu.
With his status guaranteed, Yan Xishan felt that his trip was worthwhile. His economic policies had already yielded initial results. As long as he was given another five to ten years of peace, Shanxi's status in war-torn China would be outstanding. He believed that he would definitely succeed. Leap to higher levels of fame. As for making a deal with Zhang Hanqing, a child like this, Han Xin can still bear the humiliation. What does today's matter mean?
Therefore, he said in a high-pitched tone with compassion: "I don't dare to expect the post of patrol envoy, but I can protect the people of Jin Province from the suffering of war, which can be regarded as a great contribution to the local area! My nephew personally leads the elite troops, no matter Traveling thousands of miles to quell the chaos in Shaanxi, his patriotism can be expressed every day. What Yan can do is limited, and he can only wish his nephew success and help the building to collapse."
It is Zhang Hanqing’s established policy to prevent fires in the backyard. Is there any reason not to be happy to see Yan Xishan being so enlightened? He also hypocritically spoke highly of Yan Xishan's "understanding of the overall situation and understanding of the general situation": "My father once said to Xueliang that there is no place other than Shanxi that can truly make the people live a good life in Guan Nei." Yan Shibo said: Taking the people's happiness as one's duty is a role model for our generation. There has never been any conflict of interest between the Jin and Feng families. When Xueliang came to Shaanxi this time, my father also told me to live in peace with the Shibo family."
After the two big shots delineated their sphere of influence, everyone was happy. Then Zhang Hanqing traveled through Yan'an and Tongchuan and met Han Linchun at the frontline command post of the Northwest Army in Xianyang. In the name of the Shaanxi-Gansu patrol envoy and the Shaanxi military governor, they demanded that all Feng Yuxiang's troops withdraw from the provincial capital Xi'an and retreat to Ankang to pay attention to the unstable situation in Sichuan, and let the provincial capital be handed over to the unified management of the Henan Zhensong Army of Governor Liu Zhenhua.

He issued instructions to the earthquake relief headquarters in various places: "The situation is special and there is no spare capacity for separate burials and conditional funerals in various places. Our suggestion is to build cemeteries directly in places with serious casualties, regardless of men, women, old and children." It is the last word to carry out joint burials and public sacrifices in a unified manner for all races, and to allow the deceased to be laid to rest as soon as possible."
?That’s indeed the case. Governments at all levels encountered much less resistance when discussing this matter with the surviving imams. Is it a step-by-step process to distinguish the ethnic groups of the deceased and prepare their own tombs? Many places cannot be completely separated and identified. It is already good to find the manpower to deal with the dead. How about other things?
If you are poor, you are not so particular. The Han people are like this, and so are other ethnic groups. All rules, thoughts, concepts, habits and scruples are nothing in the face of natural disasters. Having a safe place to live is infinitely better than being buried in a hillock.
Different ethnic groups, speaking different words, gathered in a mountain corner and bid farewell to their relatives with the same grief. A white stone tablet stands at the entrance of the cemetery. On it are the words "Cemetery for the Victims of the Haiyuan Earthquake" in large black letters, written by Zhang Hanqing himself. This is an open area with excellent views and is a recognized Feng Shui treasure. There was a gentle breeze, and the air was filled with inexplicable sadness.
Nowadays, no matter what nationality, identity or gender, when people meet each other, they hold hands and cry. The intimacy is difficult for ordinary people to understand. People are closest to each other in times of difficulty, and people’s hearts are connected in times of trouble. This is how human beings have come from the center of difficulties to where they are now. When we are alive, we all live under the same roof. When we die, being buried together is a great blessing in this unfortunate life.
After the brief and poignant narration, there was a collective moment of silence. Then, an infantry platoon of the People's Army temporarily acted as a salute soldier and fired three rounds into the air, and the burial of the deceased came to an end.
From Guyuan to Longde, Xiji, Jingyuan, Jingtai, and all over Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai, scenes like this are constantly happening.
At this point, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia provinces have become the only regions in the world where all ethnic groups are buried together. This habit continues to spread under the conscious guidance of the government. Anyway, from then on, the government has not designated the cemetery area of ??a certain ethnic group. Everyone has tacitly agreed to expand outward along the tombs of the deceased in order.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off.
This is an episode in the disaster relief activities.
The dead are old and the injured are being rescued as much as possible. The government builds nursing homes for the elderly and helpless in various places. The government also provides proper placement for the young and helpless: either they are adopted by the local people voluntarily, or they are adopted by the government. The government came forward to establish nurseries and children's welfare homes - this was the formation of the charity system in modern Chinese history and a historic initiative.
From December 16 to New Year's Day 1921, the Fengcian faction headed by Zhang Hanqing donated more than 3 million yuan for disaster relief, dispatched nearly 80,000 officers and soldiers, and mobilized more than 10 million people to participate in disaster relief. People in the four provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai All have carried out large-scale post-disaster reconstruction. In order to stabilize the mood of the victims, Zhang Hanqing also organized millions of migrant workers to build the Shaanxi-Gansu Highway, which not only fully utilized manpower, but also effectively promoted transportation development.
It is worth mentioning that after this disaster relief, the army was baptized. These brothers, who were born in Fengjun and did not really understand the relationship between soldiers and civilians, saw for the first time the dependence, trust and respect of the people in the disaster area. For the first time, they felt from the bottom of their hearts a sense of responsibility to "save the people from the fire and water". and a sense of pride, feeling the value of being a soldier, thus fully psychologically recognizing the dignity of the "people's soldiers" and creating a strong cohesion, which no amount of verbal preaching and education can replace.
The victims who received help recognized the People's Army to an unprecedented degree. After experiencing a revolving door of army rotations, the people of the northwest discovered for the first time that this army from afar, in addition to its amazing combat effectiveness, also had an attitude towards the common people. It is completely different from other armies, and it also psychologically identifies with the title of "People's Army".
The invincible teacher, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness!
Under the supervision of all parties, ten days after the disaster, the Republic of China government finally dispatched a joint investigation team for the Haiyuan earthquake. The Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce jointly dispatched Weng Wenhao, Xie Jiarong, Wang Lie, Su Benru, Yi Shoukai, and Yang Jingwu Composed of 6 others, Hall, a member of the International Hunger Relief Association, also accompanied him from Beijing to Shaanxi.
What I saw along the way was sad: In Henan, due to a year of drought and the impact of the earthquake, a large number of refugees have appeared in western Henan. The further west you go, the more serious the disaster becomes, and the number of damaged houses begins to increase. When asked about local governments, they all said that the earthquake made the already stretched poverty situation worse.
&nb??Spot checks can ensure that you have enough to eat, sleep well, and work on building houses, water conservancy facilities, and cultivating fields on time every day. Everything is organized, arranged and managed uniformly. Although the victims were in a bad mood due to well-known reasons, they were still very organized and full of hope.
“This all feels new, especially to Hall from International Hunger Relief. He has been in China for many years and is used to seeing how Chinese officials enrich themselves in the name of disaster relief. In fact, in the official history, the meager donation for the Haiyuan earthquake was still used by many people, so much so that when the Red Army was crossing the grassland, they fought against some people who were reported.
"A young man from the Northeast did not make money from it, but also spent great efforts to distribute money to the victims under his jurisdiction. This was unimaginable in China in the early Republic of China. As a result, he did not hesitate to praise Zhang Hanqing in his subsequent investigation report, saying: "This is a pure person, a noble person, and a good bureaucrat who loves the people as his son. If China were all under the rule of his officials, what would happen A refreshing achievement." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 599 Choice
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Peace has become the mainstream, and reunification is expected by all parties. Many people’s idea of ??unifying China by force seems unrealistic. Under the voice of public opinion, the Zhili and Fengcheng factions began negotiations to form a new government.
Wu Peifu insists on "nationalizing the military."
In his opinion, the People's Army under the control of the Fengtian People's Party is also a manifestation of local forces and is inconsistent with the principle of a government. Therefore, the conditions for forming a new government are that all parties hand over their troops, and then elect the president of the country through party competition, form a government, and unify military and government orders. This statement has been advocated by many enlightened people who were influenced by Britain and the United States.
He deliberately advocated the war just because of the current situation, the difference in strength between the Zhizhi and Fengcheng armies was too big.
The Feng army from the north and the People's Army from the northwest and south have surrounded the Zhili clique. Militarily speaking, the Zhili clique has been surpassed by the Feng clique. Politically and economically, they are no match for the Feng army. The only feasible way is to " nationalization of the military.”
??We will hand over the troops at hand to the country, and then compete together to become the head of state. With our own strength in Beijing for many years, we are at least as good as Zhang Zuolin politically. His wishful thinking was based on the assumption that Zhang Zuolin would definitely disagree with this, and the moral advantage would fall to his side.
Under the huge power of the Feng Clan, which possesses the right time and location, they suddenly have to hand over their military power to participate in some uncertain "presidential election". The top military and political leaders of the Feng Clan are very dissatisfied with this, as are Zhang Zuolin and others. Even experienced veterans such as Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang All Fengjun veterans said it was difficult to agree.
There are two ideas within Fengjun: one is "fight": Fengjun and the People's Army have an absolute advantage in military strength, and the victory is guaranteed to defeat the Zhili clique. Fengjun directly controls the Beijing government, and Zhang Zuolin personally forms the cabinet. . Some senior military and political officials even had the idea of ????taking over the world and encouraged Zhang Zuolin to unify China by force.
This group of people are old generals from the Northeast, headed by Wu Junsheng, Ma Longtan, Yu Zhen, Xing Shilian, etc.
Another idea is "drag": to defeat the enemy without fighting, as the strength of the Fengzhi and Zhili sides ebb and flow, given time, they will be able to bring down the Zhili clique with a large advantage. As for Sun Yat-sen, because his territory has been lost, he is basically not considered as a political opponent.
This is a bloodless, peaceful and relatively prudent method. It is favored by a large number of people in the Feng clan, mainly Zhang Zuoxiang, Jiang Dengxuan, Ji Jinchun, Zhang Jinghui, Ding Chao and others. In this way, the position of president must belong to Zhang Zuolin, and those who control China's political situation are still people from the Feng clique.
This is the model of nation-building that most people believe in.
Very fortunately and wisely, Zhang Zuolin still chose to ask Zhang Hanqing about his attitude. In his heart, this eldest son is not only the future successor, but also the "Zhuge" in his heart.
After many years of experience in leading troops and governing, he fully recognized Zhang Hanqing's extraordinary strategic vision and ability to grasp the overall situation.
At this time, Sun Yat-sen fled to Shanghai to avoid disaster, so that the Southern National Government actually no longer existed. Historically, Sun Yat-sen would not come back until next year with the help of the Guangxi clique and other forces, but Zhang Hanqing had already conquered Guangdong in advance, fundamentally cutting off the possibility of Sun Yat-sen's comeback.
In the official history, the Zhili and Fengtian factions fought hard for this, and the Fengtian faction also suffered a defeat in the first Zhili-Fengtian war. But now, no more
It was under this circumstance that Zhang Hanqing lost no time in proposing that he should use this opportunity to advocate a peace negotiation between the North and the South and establish a coalition government composed of the Zhizhi, Feng, Anhui and Southwest warlords as well as Sun Yixian, at least in form. The unification of China, and then each one relying on its strength to compete for various positions in the central government - originally a hot topic for the northern government | became feasible due to this incident.
After receiving the young marshal's advice, only Sun Liechen and Guo Songling turned to support Zhang Hanqing.
With his understanding of history and his own practice in recent years, Zhang Hanqing already has a clear understanding of the general trend. He held consecutive People’s Party Politburo meetings on the 8th, 9th and 10th to express his opinions: “At the beginning, Yuan Shikai’s power was at its peak, and even Mr. Sun Yat-sen had to surrender.
But, he made a wrong move, he ignored or underestimated one thing, so he prospered and died suddenly. This thing is popularity.
Since the founding of the Republic of China, European and American civilizational thoughts have surged in, the trend of dishonesty has become increasingly popular, and the power of public opinion has reached the highest level in history, and this is just the beginning. This kind of popular situation is like a flood, which can only be used to divert incentives, but cannot reverse the situation. The May 4th Movement thoroughly demonstrated the huge influence of workers and students.
But only Mr. Sun saw this trend, so he was able to mobilize the masses and use his unarmed body to create a country.The Bayan Obo rare earth mine, the world's largest, dared not expand its operations and wisely rejected calls to expand production after achieving an annual output of 300,000 tons of steel.
The iron ore producing areas in East China are mainly Aoshan, Nanshan, Gushan, Taochong, Meishan, Fenghuangshan and other mines from Wuhu, Anhui Province to Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Zhang Hanqing established an iron and steel company in Ma'anshan after pacifying Anhui. , 200,000 tons of iron were produced that year, which played a vital role in setting the historical record of China's iron output exceeding 3 million tons by the end of 1922.
Because the Hanyeping Coal and Iron Company is completely controlled by the Fengtian clique, the steel plants built in Tangshan and Lanzhou have gradually approached the scale of Northeast China. Therefore, 91% of China's iron production and 92% of steel production are concentrated in provinces under the control of the Fengcheng clique. middle.
The fact that Feng Xiu has so much strength and strength in calling for the establishment of a united government fully demonstrates his willingness for peace, at least in terms of public opinion, to make his sincerity for serving the country felt at home and abroad.

Chapter 600 Lincheng Carjacking Case
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
In view of the situation that the Feng Clan already has 23 army "divisions" with more than 480,000 people, as well as the navy and air force that are gradually growing in size, Wu Peifu also carried out a large increase in troops at the end of the year in order to reduce the military gap with the Feng Clan. Its four mixed brigades were expanded into four divisions, with their generals Peng Shouxin, Dong Zhengguo, Wang Weicheng, and Wang Huaiqing as division commanders.
In addition, 2 new editors have been added. In this way, the direct strength of the original 8th division and 6 mixed brigades suddenly expanded to 14 divisions and 2 mixed brigades. Except for the 3rd Division, which started with 6 mixed brigades, the other divisions are all standard, and the total strength has reached more than 25 Ten thousand people, not including the armies of Shandong and Jiangsu, which are directly connected to the second governor.
His wishful thinking was that the direct troops would form a group in the north and control the two railways. They would be powerful enemies regardless of whether they were going south or north. Henan and Hebei are both populous provinces, so soldiers are not a problem. Although the Fengjun Army and the People's Army are large in number, they have to be stationed in so many provinces and are scattered in various places, making it difficult to form local superiority in the short term.
The problem is that Wu Peifu’s military salary mainly relies on the operating income of the Beijing-Hankow Railway and Jinpu Railway. When the People's Army took control of Wuhan, part of his income from travel expenses was already controlled by the People's Army, and without British and American foreign aid, he was unable to make ends meet.
If we continue to increase the number of troops and allocate artillery regiments to army divisions, finances will become increasingly tight, and we will inevitably step up efforts to seize land and force taxes on the Jinpu line.
In Shandong, due to the government's tightening of money demands, the destitute people turned to bandits one after another, making the already rampant banditry even more eye-catching. The situation was chaotic, and many bandits also took advantage of the situation to rob and occupy the mountain as king. Among them, Shandong bandit leader Sun Meiyao occupied the Lincheng area of ??Shandong and became the local emperor.
The place where Sun Meiyao died was Baodugang in Yixian County, Shandong Province. His men gathered more than 2,000 bandits. But Sun Meiyao was very courageous and did not use the title of promising bandit. He wanted to call his army the "Shandong Jianguo Autonomous Army". Naturally, he was the commander of the autonomous army.
On this day, he received a special guest in his lair.
The visitor did not show a trace of panic towards the bandits who were ready to kill, but looked at the newly emerged bandit leader calmly: "My surname is Yan, a young marshal."
In the past, many people could use the word "Young Marshal" as long as your father was a military governor. But when Zhang Hanqing, the Northeastern young marshal, suddenly emerged, no one else called him that in the officialdom. Even the son of the equally high-profile Zhejiang governor Lu Yongxiang took the initiative to end his title of young marshal and humbly called himself "Lu Xiaojia."
The situation is stronger than the person.
It’s just that Sun Meiyao doesn’t know the situation yet.
"Which young marshal?" he asked proudly. In Shandong, at Changinggang, he is the king.
"There is only one young commander in the world." Yan Xingguo stabbed him calmly.
A "sensible" gangster said a few words in Sun Meiyao's ear, and his face suddenly became solemn. It seems that even he is in awe of the shadow of a person, the name of a tree, and the name of Zhang Hanqing.
"Young Marshal and I have always had nothing against each other. What are you doing here?" Sun Meiyao's tone became much better. No matter how awesome Hong Hong is, he also knows that he and others are not on the same scale. There seems to be a big gap between a million soldiers and two thousand bandit soldiers.
"A good thing. I wish you good luck in rejuvenating the country."
Yan Xingguo is the former "Fenghuai Bureau" and now the person in charge of the Central Investigation Department of the People's Party in Shandong.
Now that the Central Investigation Department's power has spread all over the country, Zhang Hanqing also believes that in troubled times, special agencies modeled after "Military Tong" and "Central Tong" can complete many projects that cannot be launched on the scene, and the annual cost of intelligence is up to 5 million yuan. , which was specially approved by Zhang and his son, and is enough to support a standard army division of Fengjun.
There are provincial departments in the provinces and branches in various places. In the territories of the People's Party and the Feng clan, they are already operating legally; in unconquered places, a large number of people have infiltrated. There are resources if you need them, and there are many capable people.
Therefore, the Central Investigation Department can live up to its high expectations and complete important tasks one after another.
Zhang Hanqing, who was far away in Tianjin, secretly sent someone to arrange an important matter for Yan Xingguo. Through the all-pervasive Central Investigation Department's spy, he contacted Sun Meiyao, a thief active in Lincheng, Shandong.
Although Sun Meiyao was a bandit, he also heard the name of Marshal Zhang Hanqing. However, because Shandong was not under the control of the Feng clan, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, and the officials and bandits were not at odds with each other, they were strongly alert to the arrival of Yan Xingguo. He arranged for his men to hold a grand Hongmen Banquet, wielding swords and guns to invite Yan Xingguo to the banquet.
Yan Xingguo has seen many strong winds and waves, so he would not care about this little intimidation. He walked calmly across the knife??, he walked straight to Sun Meiyao's seat and said with a smile: "I have heard about the name of Emperor Lincheng for a long time, but it turns out that meeting him is not as good as being famous - is this how Chief Sun treats guests?"
Sun Meiyao was not upset, and said with a smile: "Brother Yan is a member of the officialdom. Brothers are just licking blood on the edge of a knife to live, so we have to be careful. It can be said that we don't know each other without fighting, so what are you doing? Sun is powerful I can’t help, but Brother Yan has a good background, so I’m afraid I can’t be of much help.”
Yan Xingguo said: "Brother is here just to deliver the first oral instruction. The content is very simple. I would like to ask brothers to help us arrest a few people."
Sun Meiyao laughed and said, "What do I think it's about? Isn't it just a few people? I think we all kidnapped the Lincheng County Magistrate's son back then. There's nothing in Lincheng's territory that I can't catch!"
Yan Xingguo rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, the people we arrested this time are different. I'm afraid there will be some difficulties."
Sun Meiyao thought for a while, then suddenly shook her head and said: "It turns out that brother has a problem with the 7th regiment. This is really difficult to deal with! Brother kills people and steals goods, but he never fights with soldiers. Think about it, they have machine guns and cannons, and we stragglers How to compare with them?"
He knew that the 4th Division of the People's Army advancing into Jining and the 5th Army Division of Tian Zhongyu were fighting openly and covertly for control of Shandong, and thought that Yan Xingguo was ordered to use his hand to attack the 7th Regiment garrison in Lunan. Although he claims to be the local emperor of Lincheng, a true modern emperor should also be afraid of "bandits"!
The common people do not want to be involved in the battles between warlords, especially upper-level factions. Besides, his strength is too small, and he is a weakling who won't even take a chance under a blow from any party.
“But Fengxi needs an opportunity and a reason to break the status quo, and he is the best candidate.
The 4th Division of the People's Army advanced into Shandong. The original intention was to open up the Jinpu Line to connect the Central China People's Army and the Fengjun outside the Pass, completely trapping the Zhili line inland. However, because the negotiations between China and Japan in Shandong could not be completed satisfactorily, and the Japanese army controlled Jinan and refused to leave, the main force could only be placed in Dangshan to confront the direct troops stationed in Shangqiu.
And Tian Zhongyu also used the tone of "Although Shandong has a small number of soldiers, it is still determined to protect the territory" to make the People's Army march northward. But if Shandong is in chaos, hey, don’t say it was unforeseen!
This was the last resort. To cause chaos in Shandong, public opinion must first be stirred up.
This is also the main intention of Yan Xingguo coming here, but he didn't expect Sun Meiyao to praise himself so highly. If we want to fight Zhijun with real guns and ammunition, do we need this ragtag group of people under the opponent's command?
He said with a smile: "If you want to defeat this mere group, do you need to go through so much trouble?" He looked at Sun Meiyao quietly and took out a banknote from his chest: "Brother guarantees that as long as Leader Sun presses Brother's By doing what you said, not only will your power be unharmed, but the 100,000 yuan ocean will be yours immediately!"
He whispered a few words to Sun Meiyao, which frightened the gangster owl, who was known to kill without batting an eye, and his face turned ashen.
Yan Xingguo smiled slightly and said: "There is no need to be afraid of this matter. Tian Zhongyu is only one person in one division. If we really do it, our 4th Division can make dumplings for him immediately. What's more, after the matter is completed, many things will not be his." He can cover the sky with one hand!"
He raised the stakes slightly: "The aftermath will be arranged by the young marshal himself. When the time comes, as long as Brother Sun 'surrenders' in time according to my instructions, your more than two thousand people can be specially set up as a brigade, and my brother will become a major general brigade commander in the future." !”
What this idea is about is that on the surface it makes a lot of noise, but the risk is very small. A young marshal who is famous all over the world takes action, and he has the name of surrender. After all, he is correcting his evil ways and returning to the right path. The temptation to jump from a bandit to a world-famous People's Army officer is quite great. Sun Meiyao was tempted. He gritted his teeth and said, "Do it!"
Careful arrangements were made in advance, and it was scheduled to start on April 1, 1923, the 12th year of the Republic of China, which foreigners called April Fool's Day.
The reason why this day is designated is for no other reason - foreigners have played tricks on China for so many years, and they are also playing tricks on you on your holiday!
On that day, Sun Meiyao’s men intercepted a passenger train on the Jinpu Line and took hundreds of passengers as hostages, hoping to take the opportunity to extort huge sums of money. This was the famous “Lincheng Carjacking Case” in modern Chinese history.
Since there were many foreigners (journalists and tourists) among the passengers, 39 foreign passengers were later counted, and an Englishman was beaten to death on the spot. This led to Britain, Italy, France, Belgium and the United States to successively make the most severe suggestions to the Chinese government. protest. The United States proposed to send troops to China, and Japanese newspapers instigated various countries to organize a coalition to jointly manage the railway. On the 3rd, the ministers of the five countries were given three days to resolve the hostage problem, otherwise they would pay a certain amount of compensation every 24 hours.
The occurrence of this shocking event at home and abroad was an accident in the previous life, but under Zhang Hanqing's unpredictable hands, it became inevitable.
Under the strong diplomatic pressure from ministers from various countries, the Zhang Shaozeng government of the Republic of China reacted extremely quickly. For fear of causing diplomatic trouble, it hurriedly sent Tian Zhongyu to negotiate to ensure that the hostages, especially foreign friends, returned safely. As for the Chinese hostages, the central government did not say anything, and Tian Zhongyu didn't think much about it.
For several days in a row, Tian Zhongyu spent his time in the midst of telegrams and reprimands from both China and foreign countries. A bandit has made a provincial governor so embarrassed. It would be strange if Tanaka Yu could just use excuses. He believes that the hostages must be rescued, but the bandits must be suppressed. Otherwise, how can it be decent if everyone follows suit?
He sent someone to send a message to the bandit Sun, forcefully demanding that he "hand over the hostages and surrender to the government. He can be treated leniently. Otherwise, the soldiers are everywhere and will blow Baodugang into pieces!"

From beginning to end of the argument, Zhang Hanqing said not a word. But with this calmness, Wanrong quickly judged that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
But no matter what, a strange man entered the harem and seemed to have close contact with the queen - he didn't see it clearly and didn't dare to figure it out, but even so, he committed a heinous crime. To the nuns, it didn't matter whether this person was a distinguished guest invited by the emperor. The emperor would not tolerate such behavior.
As for the forbidden area of ????the palace, in ancient times, even the crown prince was not allowed to visit his mother privately without orders, let alone others?
They insisted on capturing Zhang Hanqing, and the noise soon caused the eunuchs and maids in the distance who were not sure what to do to gather around him. After the massive layoffs, the palace gathered a few people together for the first time, bringing a sense of warmth to the desolate palace.
Seeing that there were too many people, the nuns found it inconvenient to shout, so they said to the eunuch accompanying Zhang Hanqing: "Go and tell the emperor quickly and ask him to make a decision." They surrounded Zhang Hanqing and refused to let him leave.
Zhang Hanqing has no intention of leaving at all. What kind of thing is this? Before the advent of the Republic of China, intimacy between men and women was no longer considered important. Otherwise, how could the ladies in the Beijing and Tianjin areas calmly enter the dance floor and rub their hair with strangers without feeling ashamed at all, and even regard them as magic weapons in the social world?
Besides, I am drowping my uncle, and rights. You can't just watch the young and beautiful queen fall, right? Isn't that another huge disrespect?
As for whether Zhang Hanqing would rush forward to bear all her weight without thinking about it if the person in front of him was not the young and beautiful but the terrifyingly plump sister Furong, Zhang Hanqing would definitely calmly say that this assumption is not valid. Because when he encountered Sister Furong, who was so menacing, he would have stayed far away. Even if he wanted to save him for a while, it would not be his turn
One of the eunuchs left in a hurry. While helping Wanrong to lift the bicycle that fell to the ground, the nuns stared critically at the pretty face they all recognized in their hearts, and used their useless energy to block his occasional glances at the Queen. -Don’t look at anything inappropriate.
These defenders of feudal ethics thought they had the upper hand in ethics, and their words became rude: "Who are you?"
A nanny started to ask questions.
Zhang Hanqing smiled: "The father-in-law has already said it just now, so I don't need to say it again, right?"
A nun asked: "What did you do just now?"
Zhang Hanqing's smile became even stronger: "If you see something, you don't need me to say more; if you don't see anything, you don't need to ask more." He smiled at Wanrong with a double meaning: "I would like to do something. What, what a pity.”
What are these words? Is this a tease of your nakedness? The nuns didn't dare to say anything anymore. If he was brought out to say anything worse, it would be them who would be in trouble. Seeing how calm he is, he must be a well-connected person. The royal family now is no better than before. It has experienced several turmoils, and it really doesn't dare to cause big turmoil.
Although Wanrong grew up in a boudoir, she is no more pedantic than them. She also experienced Western education when she was a virgin, and she also had a British English teacher named Sam Ren in the palace. In any case, Zhang Hanqing's behavior was legitimate and even worthy of encouragement in the Republic of China. Although his methods were somewhat unsightly, he seemed to have taken advantage of the chaos just now to wipe himself out.
Of course, the word "mogging" has not yet become a buzzword, but with Zhang Hanqing here, everything is possible.
She wanted to stop the eunuch, but she didn't know how to say it. Matters related to ethics are usually considered important to the Chinese, not to mention the royal family's reputation. She was a little worried about the young man in front of her. In any case, she had no ill intentions towards him, and he just had a long-lost admiration for her, she thought.
Wanrong and Puyi discovered a problem on the night of their wedding. That night was supposed to be a beautiful night for the bride to shyly transform into a woman, but the groom’s emperor read very late at night by candlelight. Didn’t he know that women themselves are a book that can never be finished?
Later I learned that because the eunuch who served Puyi when he was just growing up was afraid that he would run out at night, he arranged for some enthusiastic palace maids to serve him in his bed and not let him get out of bed. He was still a child and was completely at the mercy of the palace maids. Sometimes two or three would sleep on his bed and teach him to do bad things until he was exhausted. When he got up the next day, he was dizzy and even the sun looked yellow
After he told these things to the eunuchs, they gave him medicine. Although he could deal with the hungry palace maids after taking it, he gradually felt less and less interested in those things It was broken. The body never recovered.
Puyi fell ill at a young age and could no longer be employed. It still could not affect his plans to marry and have concubines, because the emperor wanted to give an explanation to all parties.It will be the Prime Minister, not the President of the National Assembly, but him, the Emperor.
The young marshal should want to bargain with himself. Otherwise, why did he not continue the presidential system of the Republic of China instead of ingeniously setting up a false post of "governing" to transition?
It can’t be said that he wants to be the real emperor too eagerly. Any clues can be linked to it. However, Duan Qirui's administration is indeed empty-handed, and everyone can see it. No wonder he thinks too much. So Puyi can be kind to others, because they may not like him; but not to Duan Qirui, replacing him is inevitable.
Of course, Duan Qirui is still nominally the head of state of the Republic of China. Only Puyi has completely replaced him in his heart, so he showed it inadvertently. So once Duan Qirui met Puyi and cursed angrily: "I am not talented. I am the head of state. This kid is still acting like an emperor to this day. It is really unreasonable!"

Chapter 642 The Second Transfer of Power
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The "forced palace" incident was resolved with the Kuomintang's concession, but this also made the party feel the need to integrate. After all, a loose alliance is not enough to deal with the aggressiveness of the Feng faction.
Sun Yue and Feng Yuxiang are both members of the alliance, and there is nothing to say about their belief in Sun Yat-sen, but in terms of political organization, they are still a little short of the firepower.
At this time, the remaining army in Guangxi could not withstand the passage of time. For more than a year, although the team had the attractive program of "three dishes cooking righteousness" to liberate China, they could not withstand the changes in Guangdong and Hunan, and they left the team one after another. After Sun Yat-sen settled in the north, he arranged an unwavering The two generals headed north.
Because the Kuomintang and the People's Party had already formed an alliance, Yu Xuezhong did not create any difficulties. He just asked them to put down their weapons and let them go north.
At this time, the Guangdong-Hankou Railway was connected. It didn’t take much time for Deng Yanda, Zhang Fakui and his party to reach Wuhan, a large city in central China, from the valleys of Guangxi. They saw the Yangtze River Bridge where piles were being driven hard, and then transferred to the ferry to take the Beijing-Hankow Railway to Beijing. In just one year, under the rule of the People's Party, the government was harmonious and all kinds of things were prospered. The scene was full of vitality, which made Deng Yanda sigh.
Although we have different beliefs, we cannot oppose them out of conscience. Otherwise, where will their pursuit of "three dishes cooking righteousness" come from?
Deng Yanda is Sun Yat-sen's most relied-upon arm, Zhang Fakui is a good general who was baptized on the battlefield, and Xu Chongzhi, who came from Shanghai, are all outstanding men of the moment. Sun Yat-sen held the Kuomintang Central Committee meeting in Xianghe. He succeeded as Prime Minister, with Hu Hanmin as Political Minister, Liao Zhongkai as Organization Minister, Wang Jingwei as Propaganda Minister, and Deng Yanda as Secretary-General.
The positions of the military giants Feng Yuxiang and Sun Yue remain unchanged, with Li Liejun as the chief of staff of the KMT, Xu Chongzhi as the party's military minister, and Sun Yixian as the chairman of the KMT Central Military Commission.
This meeting set the tone. In view of the facts of Fengqiang, the Kuomintang's strategy is to do a good job in the military's political work based on Beizhili, restore the Kuomintang's image caused by Cao Kun's bribery, live in harmony with the Kuomintang politically, and then use its influence Negotiate with the Feng faction to govern China, and assist the National Unification Committee in preparing a new Congress to restore the traditional KMT influence in Congress.
Because the territory was only a small area from the north of Baoding, Hebei to the south of Beijing, so many troops could not survive. Sun Yixian sent Hu Hanmin to Shanghai to raise funds for the military. For a long time after that, the Kuomintang fell into a low profile.
This period was the most active period for Zhang Hanqing in Beijing. This ended the history of the two parties jointly controlling Beijing's political power. The Fengtian clique became unique and began to take root in the country. Taking this as an opportunity, at the end of the year, political leaders from all walks of life gathered in Nanhai to hold the second Central Plenary Session to discuss the integration of the two major military systems of the People's Army and Fengjun into a unified People's Army system and conduct personnel changes.
Zhang Zuolin continues to serve as the honorary chairman of the People's Party, and the title of chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People's Party and commander-in-chief of the People's Army; because the chairman is Zhang Hanqing, in line with the idea of ????sympathy for the elders, Sun Liechen, Wu Junsheng, and Sun Liechen all serve as honorary vice presidents. Ensure their detached status within the party.
Because of his status as the founder of the People's Army, Zhang Hanqing deserves to be the deputy commander-in-chief of the People's Army and the first vice-chairman of the Military Commission.
Sun Liechen, who was "hidden" by Zhang Hanqing for a long time because of concerns about physical abnormalities, has great prestige in the army. After resigning as the chief of the Central Army, he was elected as the commander-in-chief of the People's Army Army this time.
Of course, the People's Army is still dominated by the Army, so a large part of the Army Commander-in-Chief's real power is concentrated in the Central Military Commission, but this is exactly what he wants. There are so many generals in the young marshal department now, he just needs to help him sit in command. The early tone of this meeting was that the young commander-in-chief's team would take over the entire situation. Of course, a vice chairman of the Military Commission is inevitable.
Zhang Zuoxiang resigned as Chief of General Staff of the Fengjun Army and took full charge of Northeast military affairs. The Northeast Road Protection Command and the Northeast Border Defense Command came under his organization, and the Base Camp Command was established. He was the vice chairman of the Military Committee and the commander of the base camp. Yu Zhen, commander of the 30th Division, took over as commander of the Northeast Border Defense Force, and Wan Fulin, commander of the 29th Division, took over. Commander of the Northeast Road Protection Corps.
Wu Junsheng resigned as commander of the Northeast Road Guard Army and came to Beijing to serve as Zhang Zuolin's deputy and "vice chairman of the National Unification Council." Of course, he still retains his position as chairman of the Northeastern Congress, and he is also one of the four vice-chairmen of the Military Commission.
Important posts in the People’s Party are all occupied by members of the Young Marshal family: Jiang Dengxuan, Minister of Organization and Director of the General Political Department of the People’s Army, Chen Builei, Minister of Propaganda, Wu Jiaxiang, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Han Shuxiu, Minister of United Front Work, and Gao Jiyi, Minister of Central Investigation. The first four were also secretaries of the Secretariat of the Central Committee.
There have been important transfers in the military: Han Linchun was appointed Chief of General Staff of the People's Army, and Wang Yizhe was transferred from the northwest to the Central Committee as Political Officer.??Deputy Director. Mi Chunlin, the former General Supplies Minister of the People's Army, was promoted to the General Logistics Minister of the merged People's Army and was elected as a member of the Military Commission. Niu Yuanfeng, the former Fengjun General Supplier, was his deputy. In addition, Jiang Baili, director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, was also elected as a member of the Military Commission and a member of the Political Bureau.
The General Equipment Department was established to coordinate the overall coordination of the three major arsenals in Shenyang, Lanzhou, and Hankou and the Gongxian Arsenal in Henan, as well as to coordinate enterprises and factories related to military equipment such as Harbin Seaplane Factory, Shenyang Aircraft Factory, Wuhan Shipyard, etc., with Yang Yuting as the general equipment Minister, Zhang Xiaozhun and Yang Wenkai are his deputies.
Yang Yuting has performed extremely well since being promoted again by Zhang Hanqing, and his work ability is also strong. Zhang Hanqing also entrusted him with the preparatory work for the Air Force as a strategic arm, so he was successfully elected to the Military Commission and the Politburo.
There have been few changes in the civil service officials: Wang Yongjiang completely resigned from the post of Secretary of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and Governor of Liaoning, and took up the post of Vice Chairman of the National Unification Council, Zhang Zuolin’s most important administrative assistant. Liu Shangqing was in charge of industry and commerce, and Pan Fu was in charge of finance. As important assistants to Wang Yongjiang, the three are all members of the Politburo. Wang Yongjiang is also a popular candidate for the next Politburo | Standing Committee of the People's Party.
Mo Dehui was promoted from Tianjin to Beijing and served as Beijing Municipal Party Committee Secretary and Mayor, protecting the young marshal politically.
In this way, Jiang Baili, a young marshal, and Yang Yuting, a young marshal who has a favor for his rebirth, were added to the party's Politburo, bringing the total to 22 people; four new people, Ji Yiqiao, Jiang Baili, Mi Chunlin, and Yang Yuting, were added to the Central Military Commission. Reached 14 people. The first two are die-hard young marshals. Although Mi Chunlin follows Zhang Zuolin, he has worked with the marshal for a long time, not to mention Yang Yuting.
"The two most important positions of real power in the People's Army, the Chief of General Staff and the Director of the General Political Department, are both in the hands of the Young Marshal Department, and there are no constraints. This is Zhang Hanqing's complete victory.
This meeting further strengthened Zhang Hanqing’s successor status and future team.
Through years of hard work, Zhang Hanqing touched everyone around him with his tangible achievements. His political talent is admirable; his ability to recognize people and his accuracy in employing people make people unconsciously stand in his camp. He was not good at military affairs, but he took advantage of the general trend and naturally accomplished a great cause.
Once upon a time, he was no longer the young marshal who was under the wings of Zhang Zuolin before, but an absolute prince who held half of China in his hands, no less than any big boss in Chinese politics. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Next, we began to sort out the organization of the People's Army. It turned out that it was not obvious that the People's Army and the Fengjun Army were not affiliated with each other. Once merged, many divisions would have overlapping designations. This is a historical issue.
The military system of the Republic of China was extremely chaotic. From the formation of the Six Beiyang Towns in the late Qing Dynasty, it became the prototype of the later Army Division. Later, after the founding of the Republic of China, more than ten towns were added to the formation, and most of them were divided by the three families of Zhi, Anhui, and Feng.
In order to distinguish the armies organized by local warlords from the central army, they usually put the name of the province in front of each division. For example, the First Division of the Army is the central army, and the First Division of Hubei is just a local miscellaneous army.
The internal organization of the Feng Faction and the People's Army is also in chaos. For example, the original People's Army had the 4th Cavalry Division, the 5th, 9th, and 10th Army Divisions, the original Fengjun Army had the 4th, 5th, 9th, and 10th Divisions; the original People's Army had the 26th Cavalry Division, and the newly reorganized 23rd Division is directly numbered with the original The 23rd Fengjun Division overlapped, the 26th Division overlapped with the original 26th Cavalry Division of the People's Army, and so on.
The solution is to add 10 to the old Fengjun number to become the 14th, 15th, 19th, 20th, and 33rd divisions, and the newly formed 26th division will be changed to the 22nd division.
The serial number is easy to handle, but the confusion of military ranks needs to be overhauled. The People's Army was born out of Fengjun and is basically the same as the Beiyang Army. Its military ranks at regiment and below are similar to those abroad, but at the division and brigade level, there are changes, and this change is still very unreasonable.
The brigade commander of the Beiyang Army is generally a major general, and the corresponding military rank of a division commander is a lieutenant general. But when he first learned from Germany, the commander of a division was only a major general. Moreover, there are countless generals in the Beiyang Army. The chief of the General Staff Headquarters, the chief of the Army Department, and the generals in the general administration (often the larger warlords or the earliest commanders of divisions) are all titled generals. This is a typical high-ranking but low-ranking position.
The "Grade List of Army Officers and Soldiers" promulgated in the first year of the Republic of China divided officers into "third-level and nine-level", and had two special provisions: before the general's official title was awarded, a false title could be added first, such as Cai, the famous national protector. A lieutenant general in the army can be given the title of general, and after an officer is killed in battle or dies of illness, he can be awarded a higher military rank based on his merits during his lifetime.
Later, due to more military conflicts, they often proclaimed themselves "commanders", and some local warlords also named themselves generals. Later, Chiang Kai-shek once said: "Compared with the great powers, the Kuomintang army has extremely weak combat effectiveness and many generals. The generals have lost count…”
Originally, Zhang Hanqing had long wanted to demote the rank of division commander to major general, but considering the feelings of countless demoted generals and many elders from various places who had left the military but still held the rank of general, and Lin Zun strongly suggested that he adopt The approach of "high officials and few soldiers" was used to maintain stability, so this initiative never came to fruition.
??And whether they can be promoted or demoted is a characteristic of Chinese officialdom. The Beiyang government has created so many generals. How to arrange them in the new military system? If these people are promoted to generals, the number of generals in the new military system will be overwhelming. Then won’t the officers who have worked so hard to climb to the rank of colonel or major become disheartened? In order to avoid causing riots among our own people, we could only let this chaos continue. Now we have the opportunity to change.
The division that was reorganized in 1923 has become the standard 3 brigades and 9 regiments of the People's Army with 32,310 people, which is close to the military structure of foreign countries. Therefore, it makes sense that the division commander at this time is a lieutenant general. In Zhang Hanqing's conception of military ranks, he planned to link the commander of the army with the lieutenant general. The current division and the future army are at the same level. We just have to wait for the division to be expanded into an army.
In addition, he planned to follow the practice of later British military systems. Each level of position corresponds to only one military rank. If the position remains unchanged, the military rank will remain unchanged. The advantage of this is that it can stimulate the enthusiasm of officers to do their jobs and reduce the disadvantages of being able to go up but not down. But below the deputy battalion commander, there are some changes.
According to the "People's Army Military Rank System" drafted by him, military ranks are divided into six levels and twenty levels, including commander, general, colonel, lieutenant, sergeant and soldier:
The highest level of marshal is the Grand Marshal of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the Republic of China, and currently it is estimated that there can only be Zhang Zuolin; the second is the Marshal of the Republic of China, which has the same position as a general. It is an honorary position above the general and is also a lifelong position.
There are five general levels: general, general, lieutenant general, major general, and brigadier general. The deputy positions at each level are reduced by one rank. Pay attention to the deputy positions at each level here. Taking the division as an example, they refer to the deputy division commander, chief of staff, director of the division political department, division logistics director, etc. under the division headquarters.
General is the highest administrative position in the People's Army, held by the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Army, and Future Air Force and members of the Military Commission; because the Chief of General Staff and Director of the General Political Department of the four headquarters of the People's Army are also members of the Military Commission, they are traditionally members of the Military Commission. He is one level higher than the Director of General Logistics and the Director of General Armaments, and his deputy position is at the same level as the commanders of each military region and the principal positions of the other two ministries.
The generals will be the commanders of all military regions, commanders of services and non-members of the Military Commission of the Fourth Headquarters of the People's Army, as well as the future deputy ministers of defense and deputy posts of the Navy, Army and Air Force Headquarters. In addition, the president of the National Defense University who has not entered the Military Commission,The director of the National Defense Science and Industry Committee will also be at this level.
The lieutenant general will be the future army commander and the current division commander;
The major general will be the future division commander and the current brigade commander;
The brigadier general will be the future brigade commander, current deputy brigade commander and brigade chief of staff.
There are three levels of school officers in succession, and the deputy positions at each level are also reduced by one military rank: the colonel is the regiment commander, the lieutenant colonel is the deputy regiment commander, and the major is the battalion commander.
As the core of the grassroots level, there are four levels of lieutenants: captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant, and warrant officer:
The captain is the deputy battalion commander and the company commander who has completed three years;
The lieutenant is the company commander, the deputy company commander who has been serving for three years or the platoon commander who has been serving for five years;
Second lieutenants are deputy company commanders, platoon commanders, and deputy platoon commanders who have served for two years;
Warrant officer is a reserve officer, specially designed for deputy platoon commanders. It is also the first rank for ordinary military academy graduates to enter the army.
The non-commissioned officer rank is an officer who is not an officer. There are three levels:
A sergeant is a squad leader who has been in charge for two years and a deputy squad leader who has been in office for four years;
Sergeant is the squad leader and the deputy squad leader after three years of service;
Corporal, deputy squad leader, and above-grade private for two years or more;
The rank of private is promoted to recruits who have been in the army for one year.
If the former Beiyang generals who are not serving in these positions and fail to serve in the People's Army, they will no longer enjoy the military ranks issued according to the new military system, and the original military ranks will become an honor
Don’t be afraid of them rebelling. First, most of them have left the military and have little influence on national affairs; in addition, Zhang Hanqing has already arranged their places for relatively powerful figures.
Although the power is not great, the position is high (even if it is false). If you think about it, the cost of opposition is too high and the risks are unknown, so those who are really dissatisfied do not speak loudly. As a result, this military rank system is completely a competition of honor directed and performed by the People's Army, and people who have lost their country can only obey helplessly.
The advantage of this is that it is a difficult choice for those motley crews: accepting the military rank of the People's Army means accepting the management of the People's Army at the same time, and also accepting the ideas, style, and purpose of the People's Army. If things go on like this, will they be able to control the army again? It's all a problem. Of course, Feng Yuxiang and other national troops do not accept this kind of military rank, and that is as it should be.
"The People's Army Rank System" also provides detailed provisions for promotion channels and retirement. In addition, in order to enhance the sense of honor of officers and soldiers, Zhang Hanqing also designed the marshal's scepter, epaulettes, collar badges, cap badges and medal systems.
Medals are easy to understand. There was the Jiahe Medal in the Republic of China, the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal in later generations, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were the August 1st Medal, the Red Star, the Medal of Independence and Freedom, and the Medal of Liberation However, Zhang Hanqing felt that the name should be changed: Those who have made great contributions to the country will be awarded the "Medal of the Republic" ", this is currently the highest honorary award; those who have made outstanding achievements in various achievements will be awarded first- and second-level "Struggle Medals" in sequence, followed by many medals
The design of the epaulettes is mainly for ease of understanding: the design of the epaulettes for school-level officers is the "two bars holding a star" that we have heard of, while the design for lieutenant-level officers is "one bar smashing the star". Of course, the design of the shoulder insignias for warrant officers and majors is the same "two bars" "One star", but the same star turned into silver (not real silver, too much to afford!).
The traditional generals are basically Venus Pengye. From the beginning of the major general, there is one more star.
The position of brigadier general was equated with the rank of colonel in later generations of China. However, during military exchanges with the West, Chinese officers suffered a bit. This is because the group of brigadiers in the West is arranged according to the general level. Of course, countries may have different differences due to their national conditions, but basically they all believe that "no matter how small a (brigadier) general is, he is bigger than a (major) colonel." He believes that a major colonel is just a comparison Just a senior colonel.
So Zhang Hanqing decided to retain the military rank of "Brigadier General", but what is more special is that its shoulder strap design is the same as that of Major General, and both are one, but the stars are replaced by silver The advantage of this is that it reduces the number of generals. Comparison The large number of deputy division level cadres is both a stimulus and a spur to the team.
As for the marshal, will it be five stars? Of course not, aren’t you tired of counting? A marshal must have the dignity of a marshal! According to Zhang Hanqing's design, their epaulettes are all made of pure gold and have a national emblem. Of course, what better reflects his dignity is that the marshal has a scepter.
Speaking of scepters, Zhang Hanqing is most familiar with the descriptions of "Jie", "Jie Jie", "Shizhi Jie" and "Jie Jie Yue" during the Three Kingdoms period and the glory of the German Marshal's scepter during World War II. Of course, about Japan The legend of the saber is also full of ears.
"However, the ancient Chinese "jie" is a kind of power, the German marshal's scepter is the highest honor of a soldier, and the Japanese saber is a pit. Although it is a symbol of the martial spirit, it seems a bit silly to carry such a bulky and basically useless guy in the era of hot weapons
The marshal's scepter is necessary. In order to reflect its nobility, Zhang Hanqing designed a Kowloon scepter with different ends and faces, using precious gold and silver as the main body and traditional Chinese gold and jade as the base. It is half a meter long and 3 centimeters in diameter. The staffs are basically similar, but the end of the navy is an anchor, the air force is an eagle, and the army is a tiger.
The veterans of the Feng Dynasty were very interested in this. Although they were called commander-in-chief, in fact, their highest military rank in the Republic of China was just general. It's just that the military rank system for young marshals is very stingy. Although in theory, up to 20 generals can be promoted at the same time, this is because of the advantages of the military rank system. If you want to be promoted to marshal, you need to perform meritorious service!

Chapter 645 Bombardment on the Yangtze River

Because the People's Party Military Commission has largely replaced Jiang Baili's responsibilities as the General Counsel, without the title of Zhang Zuolin's number one adviser, Jiang Baili will inevitably rely on the position of director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, which has been replaced by the General Armament Department. He was almost left alone.
After several parties gathered in East China, it was impossible without a capable person to control the situation. Jiang Baili's position, rank and prestige were sufficient, and both Zhang and his son liked him. The People's Army's military strategy has basically taken shape, so Jiang Baili, who wanted to learn something useful, was temporarily transferred to a new post to combine theory with practice.
Nanjing was originally an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place, but when Su Xichang fell one after another, Qi Xieyuan, who was afraid of being "disgraced under Jinling City", decided to abandon this important southeastern town and escape before the Shanghai-Nanjing line was controlled.
After running all the way to Shanghai, the "slant-eyed commander" felt that Shanghai was not safe either. As a last resort, he fled to the Japanese Concession and later fled to Japan.
When the good news came, Zhang Hanqing became very popular in poetry, so he composed a poem titled "Seven Rhymes." People's Army Occupies Nanjing":
The wind and rain in Zhongshan turned yellow, and millions of troops crossed the river.
The tiger perched on the dragon's plate is better than the past, and the world is turned upside down, generous and generous.
It is better to use the remaining brave men to chase the poor bandits, and not to pretend to be an academic overlord.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Heaven is also old, and the right path in the world is subject to vicissitudes of life.
This battle was fought happily, but a very bad situation also occurred, that is, after Qi Xieyuan's defeated troops retreated, violent xenophobic incidents occurred in Nanjing, which almost caused a conflict between China and foreign countries. On the evening of November 25, some of the Qi troops who had not crossed the river carried out looting activities in Nanjing. However, except for two foreigners walking on the street and two evacuated foreign residences, the Qi troops did not attack anyone else. foreign targets.
The leading troops of the People's Army marched into Nanjing, fired shots and searched along the way, and asked the consulates of various countries in Nanjing whether there were any war criminals hiding there. After receiving a negative reply, the troops peacefully left the foreign consulate.
But starting at about 8 a.m. the next day, a large-scale xenophobic wave of robbing foreigners suddenly broke out in Nanjing, which lasted until 5 p.m. Foreign consulates, churches, schools, trading companies, hospitals, and foreign residences in Nanjing and Xiaguan were all violated and looted. Soon after, the wave moved to Shanghai.
The new Fengjun regime still needs to be recognized by the great powers. The People's Army that has been victorious will not allow extraneous matters to arise. After learning of the riot, Zhang Hanqing immediately ordered the troops crossing the river to immediately assume the responsibility of maintaining local security, and to deal with the stubborn ones sternly and quickly:
"During this critical period, we are aware of military control. If anyone takes the opportunity to disrupt social order, endanger people's lives and survival, or interfere with the normal life of friends from all over the world, they will be shot on the spot without any doubt!"
For Qi Xieyuan’s 6th Division, the People’s Army also conducted a large amount of propaganda, requiring “anyway” officers at all levels to restrain their subordinates, get through this period safely, and make meritorious deeds. On the same day, Nanjing City shot hundreds of defeated soldiers, and public security in the provincial capital gradually restored.
At this moment, a series of dull sounds came from the Yangtze River, and something that no one could predict happened happened.
It turned out that due to repeated rebellions, the British and American warships stationed on the Yangtze River shelled Nanjing without any warning on the grounds of protecting overseas Chinese. This is not only a show of force, but also a test after the Feng clique defeats the Zhili clique: With the People's Party about to de facto unify China, what is his attitude towards Britain and the United States?
This matter was suddenly amplified. Duan Qirui, Sun Yixian, etc., and even the backbone of the direct line in Xiaye were all watching how the Feng Clan would do it.
"If they cannot seek justice, the People's Army can be directly characterized as militaristic people who are experts in the civil war; regardless of whether the pressure on Britain and the United States will be effective, don't the group of pro-American factions headed by Zhang Hanqing say that they want to establish friendly relations with the United States? Does he dare?
When faced with this matter, the previous government could only lament that it was a bad year. When Chinese people deal with foreign countries, they only suffer losses and are deceived, not take advantage of them. There are no exceptions.
Many people think that it is time to endure it. The great powers have brought enough insults to China these days, and a lot of lives are not a problem at all.
After receiving the report from the front line, the string in Zhang Hanqing's heart that had not been touched for a long time began to stir. If the country is weak, what will it do to the small people? At that time, China kept a low profile and still could not avoid the humiliation of the Yinhe incident and the bombing of the Yugoslav Embassy. How is this scene similar to it?
He ordered a strong condemnation, pointing out that the bombardment of Nanjing was "strictly prohibited by the public law of all nations and the general rules of civilized countries." On the one hand, he urgently sent people to negotiate with the warships of the two countries sailing on the Yangtze River, and on the other hand, he arranged for the assessment and rescue of the damage suffered. .
It’s nothing more than negotiationWant to change and be hostile to the People's Party government? As the head of the People's Army, I must have this suspicion when the People's Army is crossing the river. "
He has changed his strategy. Now the whole country is watching the People's Party's response to this matter. With the current situation, it is impossible to expect a softening of the British position. After all, people have "dignity" even if they die. He didn't have too many cards to play, so he could only lead the incident to the British government's stance on the various factions in China.
"The bombardment of Nanjing was to support the Zhili Clique, because it came at such a sensitive moment. Zhang Hanqing deliberately understood it this way, expressing his dissatisfaction with the British support for Zhili in this way, so that Patton understood that this was the source of the anger of the People's Party and the People's Army.

“As long as they are not stupid and have a little bit of political savvy, they all know that unless there are major changes, the one-China system is already certain. Now, the South and North Fengjun have controlled more than two-thirds of China's provinces and concentrated more than 80% of China's military. The Fengfeng faction's economic strength and industrial strength are enough to instantly defeat all other factions combined. The policies of the People's Party are the decisions of the Chinese government.
Unless Britain and the United States directly intervene to assist the Zhili Clique and deploy heavy troops, no force can stop the historical trend of the People's Army to unify China. As Sino-U.S. relations are advancing steadily, Britain, no matter how proud it is, knows that it cannot block the train with its arms, as the direct relationship cannot help it anymore.
Given China’s current national conditions, the conditions for fostering agents are no longer mature. The main purpose of the British government's shelling of Nanjing was not to prevent the People's Army from crossing the river, but as a means to show off its force and presence. As long as the stance of the People's Party and the People's Army softens, they are willing to accept Feng Daizhi as long as their interests are not lost.
“Besides, the entire British Empire is still licking its wounds. The war that ended five years ago, which was called the "World War" instead of "World War I", was called "the last war" in Europe at the time.
All European countries (except Germany) have still not been able to heal the wounds caused by this war after five years. Everyone is afraid of war and the negative consequences of war. The whole society wants to avoid war and maintain the existing peace. This trend of thought lasted until the 1930s and 1940s, and the "appeasement" policies of European countries were slowly formed in this way.
As the world's most powerful country, Britain has been the world's hegemon for more than a hundred years, but it increasingly feels like a twilight old man who is unable to do what he wants.
Outside the empire, the United States was rapidly rising, staring at Britain's position economically and militarily, and the "Washington Naval Treaty" exposed its weakness;
Germany’s ultra-nationalist ideology is surging, and Japan is aggressive in the Far East. Especially the dismantling of the Anglo-Japanese alliance puts its colonies in the Far East at risk;
Within the empire, overseas colonies were affected by various factors, and independence movements emerged one after another. Moreover, due to the weakening of national power, the colonies no longer followed Britain and demanded more autonomy.
The British territory was also facing a crisis: in 1920, the Irish people launched an armed uprising, forcing the British to adopt a "divide and rule" policy, allowing 26 counties in southern Ireland to establish the "Irish Free State", enjoying autonomy and actually becoming independent from its rule. .
A dozen years later, in 1937, the Irish Free State declared itself an independent republic, allowing the United Kingdom to change its name from the "Kingdom of Britain" to the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". Although there are a few more words, a large piece of territory is missing.
It is no exaggeration to say that the British Empire faced internal and external troubles.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing knew very clearly that the British move was just a show of force and had another agenda, but the method was too crude. But what is very depressing is that there is nothing he can do for the time being.
Should we fight with them proudly now and then delay the process of China's reunification? Or should we endure the humiliation and wait for an opportunity to make things right when China is in a good position? He could only choose the latter.
At this time, he remembered Yu Dafu’s appeal: “China, please become strong!”
?Similarly, the British government has no intention of competing with the People's Party and People's Army here and now. Traveling thousands of miles to China is just for profit. In this case, it is unwise for the other party to misunderstand that there is serious hostility. At least it will not be beneficial to ensuring Britain's interests in China.
The big thing is over and the general trend has become inevitable. Dealing with the Feng Clan is inevitable, and the person facing him is the heir to the entire Feng Clique group and the most powerful person in China.
Thinking of this, Consul General Patton’s tone became a little tactful:
"Mr. Marshal, the British government has never had any intention or action to interfere in China's political situation. Our recognition of the current Chinese government is firm and unchanging. Please allow me, on behalf of our government, to express my condolences to what happened on the Yangtze River. We apologize for the unpleasantness. As long as the Chinese army can properly protect our overseas Chinese and our interests in China, we are happy to see your army unify East China."
Well, that’s good——that’s the end of it.
Zhang Hanqing finally found a way to calm down the incident and eased the atmosphere appropriately: "We appreciate Mr. Consul's goodwill toward the Fengtian government. As agreed a year ago when I met with the American Admiral Joseph We are willing to establish good diplomatic relations with the United States, the United Kingdom and all countries that support the great cause of the reunification of the Republic of China and do our best to promote the protection of their interests in Asia.
&nThe remnants of the Anhui generals Zang Zhiping and Yang Huazhao were organized into the Zhejiang Supplementary Brigade and the 24th Brigade of the Central Army, but these designations were not recognized.
Now he has more than 67,000 troops, especially the heavy firepower is worth mentioning. Because he was rich and basically controlled the Jiangnan Machinery Bureau, his divisional artillery regiment was fully equipped. After the Battle of Zhiwan, he was the only remaining general of the Anhui clan. He was not affected not only because of his extraordinary abilities, but also because of his strength.
But he would never dare to fall out with Feng Xi! Similarly, Zhang Hanqing was not ready to break up with the Anhui clique. It is easy to defeat Lu Yongxiang, but it is inevitable to fall out with Duan Qirui. He is not ready to be a puppet yet. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com

Lu Yongxiang is like being put on a stove now. Of course, the stove needs to be lit today.
Faced with the aggressive momentum of the Feng faction, Duan Qirui is said to have no choice. What can he, a local warlord who favors East China, do?
Fighting is definitely not possible, losing is certain, and the reputation is very likely to be ruined; surrendering is definitely not acceptable, after all, everyone has the heart of love, and he has spent countless efforts to achieve his current status. Furthermore, the fact that the Anhui clique is still active on the central stage and that Duan Qirui can be elected to power has a lot to do with the fact that he, the "only remaining" Anhui clique cadre, is still in office.
With the power of one person, the safety of the entire system is protected, and the responsibility is heavier than Mount Tai!
He sighed long and short, which could not help but attract someone's attention.
"Father, does the fact that the People's Army is going south make you uneasy?"
The speaker was his eldest son Lu Xiaojia, the young marshal of Zhejiang and Shanghai whom he was proud of - of course not the same as the young marshal from Northeast China, but he also performed well.
Just a few days ago, Shanghai Police Chief Xu Guoliang, who was the only one at odds with Lu Yongxiang, was shot dead in a Shanghai hot spring bathhouse. He died in Niu Huilin Hospital after rescue efforts failed.
Xu Guoliang is the king of Shanghai Baidao who controls 8,000 policemen. This murder case was quickly solved with the highest efficiency. The killer surnamed Li was quickly captured. It was revealed that the mastermind behind it was the son of Lu Xiaojia and Lu Yongxiang. Hired killer Wang Yaqiao to do it at a low price.
“However, this case was later dropped because of Lu Xiaojia’s identity. Unless Lu Yongxiang can be defeated politically, Xu Guoliang's revenge will never be avenged. This is the national condition.
The reason why the two sides have such a deep feud is simply because they compete for dominance in Shanghai.
Logically speaking, Shanghai should traditionally be under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu, so what does Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang, have to do with it? However, considering that Lu Yongxiang served as the Protector of Songhu for a long time, and after he was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang, he recommended his subordinate He Fenglin to take over, it can be seen that Shanghai is still his territory.
Since many important departments in Shanghai are controlled by him, he can still control Shanghai after serving as the governor of Zhejiang. If Xu Guoliang wants to come forward, he has to see whether Lu Yongxiang agrees? Lu Xiaojia killed someone, and He Fenglin clearly protected him. However, in order to pay attention to the impact, Lu Xiaojia still returned to Zhejiang. This is called flying far away and out of sight.
Lu Yongxiang was not angry when his eldest son hired a murderer. Instead, he felt complacent, saying that Naozi was like a general and a tiger. In addition, Xu Guoliang's death made his influence in Shanghai even greater.
Until the People's Army occupied Nanjing and approached Suzhou, pointing to Hangzhou in the distance.
"Yes! The Zhang family and his son are trying to drive out our Anhui clan!" He sighed generously.
"Do you want me to go to Beijing to find out about the young marshal? I still had a friendship with him when we were in Tianjin. Besides, there is no hatred between me and him. He won't do that, right?" Lu Xiaojia asked .
"Silly boy! There is no friendship in politics. As for hatred, what kind of hatred do we have with Xu Guoliang? It's not about power and profit! The Feng clan wants to control the country, and we are the obstacle in front of it. This is hatred! All over the world! Below, it is the king's land; on the shore of the land, it is the king's ministers. There are only two roads before me, fight or surrender. But no matter which road, it is a dead end for our weak Zhejiang!"
Lu Yongxiang has a clear view of the current situation.
"But I still want to give it a try! Although everyone in charge of Duan now sees that he is a puppet, after all, the veil of the alliance between Anhui and Fenghui has not been torn off. It is said that the Kuomintang and the Fengtian clique are fighting fiercely in Beijing. Now all parties have Paying attention to the changes in the situation in Beijing, if the Feng clique takes action against both families at the same time, the big bosses in other places in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Shanxi will definitely have ideas.
So my son judged that the Feng clan should still be able to use the guise of 'peace' now. As long as we know our interests and give them enough face, I think they won't do anything to my father for the time being. "
It makes perfect sense! Lu Yongxiang was very pleased: "Why don't you try it? If it doesn't work, I'll give it to them in Shanghai!" At this point, his cheek teeth became sore.
Shanghai is his blessed land and the economic lifeline for his current strength. Otherwise, no matter how rich Zhejiang is, the province's finances will not be able to support so many troops. Now I have to bear the pain of giving up my love, which must be very sad.
But because of Shanghai's economic status, he judged that the Fengclique would definitely get involved - it was also the economic lifeline that the Kuomintang relied on for survival. If the Fengclique challenged the Kuomintang, they would definitely want to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron. Rather than watching it be occupied by the People's Army, it is better to use it as a bargaining chip in exchange for temporary peace in Zhejiang.
As for the future, I’m sorry, they don’t have a future, so they won’t think about the future.
Now Lu Xiao?Sitting opposite Zhang Hanqing, he became a guest of Zhang's house.
"Han Qing, what do you think?" he asked.
He seriously stated the consequences of the Fengtian clique being at odds with the Kuomintang and Anhui clique at the same time, and believed that the other party would understand better; he hinted at the number and equipment of the Zhejiang army, but of course he did not dare to provoke the other party; he hoped that the Fengjun army would stop in Suzhou and negotiate with Zhejiang A peace treaty comes.
In this regard, Zhang Hanqing declined to comment. He had a long history with Lu Xiaojia, and he was once known as one of the "Four Beauties of the Republic of China" along with Pu Dong and Yuan Kewen, but so what? Although Lu Xiaojia seems to have some political excellence, he is not much better than Pu Dong and Yuan Kewen because he still cannot see through the situation here.
"Reunification of China is the real peace, while separatism is the real cause of harm to China and no benefit to it. Back then, it was okay to have a separatist regime, but now this kind of thing cannot be tolerated!
However, Lu Xiaojia was half right, that is, it is really not suitable to fall out with the Anhui clique at this stage, because compared to Lu Yongxiang, who is a martial artist, the Kuomintang clique with influence, military strength, money, and people is a serious concern, and they still have the use of Written by Duan Qirui.
"The three-party anti-Zhili alliance was personally confirmed and concluded by several leaders. However, your father did not implement it well at all. He let Qi Xieyuan go and caused us to suffer a lot of losses when we went south. Originally, as long as he could go back and forth, In a flanking attack, the war would not have lasted so long, and the British bombardment of Nanjing would not have happened! So, he has a great responsibility in this matter!"
Is this putting the responsibility squarely on Lu Yongxiang? In fact, no matter whether the Zhejiang Army joins or whether the Zhili Army retreats faster, the British can always find excuses as long as their mentality of warning China remains unchanged. As the saying goes, if you want to impose a crime, there is no excuse. Is this kind of thing still rare in modern China?
And Qi Xieyuan only struggled for 6 days - starting from the time when the Feng Dynasty issued a memorandum. This speed is fast enough. According to the normal march time, the People's Army could not complete the journey from crossing the river to Suzhou in less than five days. He even managed to hold on for one more day!
In such a short time, even if Lu Yongxiang wants to attack from a flank, he still has to be able to keep up with the speed of the People's Army!
But just as Moscow does not believe in tears, Zhang Hanqing will also choose to ignore this fact. There is only one argument among the Fengtian faction: the Zhejiang Army failed to fulfill its obligations to the Allies and even signed a peace agreement privately with the enemy. This is a breach of contract!
It’s time to fight!
"My father also had difficulties in this matter." Lu Xiaojia could not avoid this fact, because the treaty was published in a newspaper. At that time, Lu Yongxiang was very proud of his actions to "protect the country and the people." Zhejiang newspapers even praised him highly for this.
"The young marshal's army has not moved yet, and my father's troops are not strong enough to resist Qi Xieyuan, so he can only make this strategy to hold back the Zhili army." He said so quibly, and also lost no time in praising Zhang Hanqing: "If the Zhejiang army has a young marshal With half the combat effectiveness of the army, I believe that my father dares to go head-to-head with the Zhizhi Army."
"Really?" Zhang Hanqing smiled. According to this, Lu Yongxiang is still a master who can endure hardships and endure hardships! Isn't that more terrifying than Gou Jian?
"Since the Zhejiang army can't even protect the country and the people, why are they arming so many people? I think that in the subsequent abolition of the superintendent and the reduction of troops, Zhejiang can only retain one division at most!" he said.
Abolition of supervisors and reduction of troops is a long-term national policy. Two years of hard work has only turned many supervisors into "supervisors" in name. Of course, there are still some called "supervisors" in private. As for troop reduction, it was still the result of two wars.
The "abolition of governors" planned by Zhang Hanqing this time is to remove all "supervisors" and "supervisors" in the country; the "disarmament" is to coordinate the reduction of all disobedient warlords' private soldiers in various places. It is serious. necessary.
Didn’t Lu Yongxiang use the excuse that Zhejiang soldiers could not fight? Then it’s time to cut it off! Why does the army that cannot fight support him? Want to eat?
For the first time, Lu Xiaojia felt pressured by Zhang Hanqing's strength. The assassination of Xu Guoliang was a show of bravery and a small pride for him; Zhang Hanqing's suppression of the Zhejiang army was politics, conspiracy, and just a joke.
"The Zhejiang soldiers are more than capable of protecting themselves, but of course they cannot compete with Han Qing's army! My father said that in order to express his apology, he is willing to make efforts for the People's Army to enter Shanghai smoothly!" As a last resort, Lu Xiaojia threw out the bait.
Like his father, he does not want to give up his territory in Shanghai. For Lu Yongxiang, it is a political and economic need, and for him it is a matter of face.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There would be an earthquake if you just stomped your feet on the beach! Because of his father's relationship, he was definitely the number one brother in Shanghai, where he also earned a reputation as one of the "Four Young Masters of the Republic of China".
This is the promise of real money. The vanguard of the People's Army has reached Zhangjiagang, so it did not enter Shanghai because it was worried that the advance of troops would cause market turmoil. As China's largest concession and the largest financial center in China and even Asia, Shanghai is of symbolic significance to the Fengcian faction in stabilizing the situation in East China.
There can be no chaos in Shanghai.
Lu Yongxiang has the ability to ensure a smooth handover in Shanghai because the military guard He Qifeng is his subordinate and because of his influence.
"Watch his words as well as his actions." Zhang Hanqing said slowly: "I believe that Governor Lu is capable, so I also want to see his sincerity. The three-party alliance is not just about words!"
Lu Xiaojia was overjoyed. The change of Lu Yongxiang in Zhang Hanqing's mouth from "your father" to "Supervisor Lu" is equivalent to the change of Zhang Hanqing's attitude. Zhejiang is saved!

Chapter 687 Military Reform in 1924
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
This round of personnel reductions is actually a purge of non-clan armed forces and a centralization move by the People's Party. It is just a more civilized and more visible way.
After disarmament, the People's Party has shown considerable sincerity: On the surface, 290,000 troops have been disbanded by the end of the year, winning applause at home and abroad.
But above all, the People's Army has swept away the influence of various northern factions in the army, and the morale of the military has been restored. The People's Party's leadership role in the army has been significantly strengthened.
After the leader of the Jin army, Yan Xishan, left Shanxi, his generals lost their snake heads and moved closer to the dead snake. After the separation of military and political affairs, especially the transfer of provincial financial and administrative power to the central government, their logistics, equipment, training, promotion In the hands of the People's Army, disintegration is a high probability.
The National Army is even more unbearable. Feng Yuxiang left, Sun Yue left, Zhang Zhijiang's troops were divided by Xu Yongchang, and now the Kuomintang has become purely a lip service.
The Jin Army and the National Army have been completely eroded as a military force independent of the People's Army. According to the opinion of Chief of Staff Lin Wei, all officers should stay if they agree with each other, and hang up if they don't agree with each other. Several veteran military figures have a good placement: the Strategic Research Committee of the Ministry of National Defense, isn't it awesome enough?
Coupled with the Anhui clique, which has long since left the political stage, and the defeated Zhili clique, the entire north, northwest, central and southeast are absolutely dominated by the People's Army. The remaining Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi can only fight in The place is barely surviving.
The overwhelming military superiority and political leadership of the People's Army not only completely discouraged any opponent from fighting militarily, but also cast a psychological shadow over the various political policies and policies proposed by the People's Party. They can only agree with the national development ideas.
Of course, these lines, principles and policies are completely in line with China’s national conditions.
Under this favorable situation, it has become necessary to take advantage of the opportunity to integrate the resources of the military. The first step is to centralize the leadership of martial arts halls and military academies scattered in various local headquarters from the military to the Central Military Commission. This is related to the cultivation of the mentality of the talent echelon. question.
The Political Department of the People's Army transferred outstanding teachers from military academies from various places and established the National Defense University in Beijing, which is the highest military academy of the People's Army. In the future, the further education of officers at the regimental level and above will be undertaken by the National Defense University; while various local Military academies are reserved as training places for middle- and lower-level officers, and will open admissions to students from all walks of life this year.
The first president of the National Defense University was Yang Jie, who was transferred from the Wuhan Military Academy; the director of education, Xiao Qixuan, was transferred from the Northeast Military Academy; the director of the Public Works Department, Zhang Xuan, and the director of the Military Science Department, Chen Ying, were both former Northeastern Military Academy The leader of the series. Zhang Xuan, also known as Lengsheng, was an important staff member of Zhang Zuolin. Chen Ying also served as the training director under the General Staff Department.
Originally, Yang Jie insisted on inviting Zhang Hanqing as the president of the National Defense University, but Zhang Hanqing knew his own disadvantages and had no intention of doing these favors to win over his subordinates anymore - during the previous warlords' melee, in order to train their own people, they needed to establish a good reputation. With this prestige, the country is now on the right track, and professional matters should be left to professionals.
Because the division establishment of more than 30,000 people is too large, under the unified deployment of the People's Army Chief of General Staff Han Linchun, the People's Army expanded divisions into corps, upgraded brigades into divisions, and abolished the brigade system in the army. Equipment and logistics are unified and dispatched, making it a completely standardized army.
This is also a disguised suppression of some separatist forces in the southwest. In the past, division-level establishments were more or less organized by Beiyang and local governments. This has become a problem left over from history and it is inconvenient to forcefully cut it. But when the division was upgraded, their embarrassment came.
Follow the upgrade? It’s impossible, the central government doesn’t recognize it. Not promoted? Being demoted to one level in vain, people are dissatisfied, and the team is no longer easy to lead.
The number of the upgraded corps is the same as that of the original division, and the subordinate brigades are arranged in order. For example, after the 27th Division was promoted to the 27th Army, the designations of its original brigades were upgraded to the 79th, 80th, 81st Division, and so on.
After years of development, at the end of 1923, the People's Army already had 32 mountain artillery and field artillery regiments, 16 howitzer regiments, and a 24-gun 155mm heavy artillery battalion. After defeating the Zhili clique, they obtained all 7 artillery regiments and 7 artillery battalions on the battlefield; then captured about 200 mountain cannons from various armies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and took control of the Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau.
In the last few months of 1924, it took control of all the ordnance produced by the Jin Army and the Taiyuan Arsenal, and then ate up the National Army, especially the three artillery regiments of Feng Yuxiang's troops. In this way, Guangshan Artillery formed 54 regiments and battalions.
In addition, the howitzer production lines successively set up in the Soviet Union were quickly started and gradually reached scale, with a total of more than 700 guns produced in the first half of the year. Taking into accountThere is still a running-in period for the proficiency of the technology. If it is done by the end of the year, the number will double, because the annual output was estimated to be 2,200 units a year ago.
Counting this way, the People's Army already has 54 organic mountain artillery regiments and 29 organic artillery regiments (howitzers and field artillery). The People's Army has 4,500 75mm-class artillery pieces alone! This is something no one would have dared to imagine before the growth of Fengxi.
This trend is still strengthening. After expansion and integration with the help of the Soviet Union, the Hanyang and Lanzhou arsenals can already produce the People's Army's military-level support firepower 75mm howitzers and field guns. Together with the Shenyang arsenal that has received special attention, it has an annual production capacity of 2,200 such cannons. .
Zhang Hanqing plans that after all 90 divisions of the army are equipped with howitzers, they will gradually replace the original mountain artillery, or they will choose an opportunity to allocate the mountain artillery regiment to mountain divisions that may need to be formed in the future.
Although there is still a considerable gap compared to the European and American powers - their military ranks are generally equipped with 105 or 155mm heavy howitzers, the People's Army is still working hard to meet the minimum artillery regiments for each division.
However, in Asia, it has become a formidable force: more than 32,000 people and 216 artillery pieces - compared to the 20,000 people and 144 artillery pieces of a standard Japanese division in the same period, it is not inferior. If China is determined to use its military as its If the unit fights against the Japanese division.
The 1st and 4th Army are in East China, the 28th Army is in Jinan, the 27th Army is in Beijing, and the 29th Army is in Shenyang, the base camp. The five reorganized main forces are all deployed along the Beijing-Shanghai Line and the Beijing-Shenyang Line. They are the first units in the army to achieve preliminary motorization. Of course, motorization here is just the use of trucks instead of humans and animals to pull the artillery in the army.
Even so, it is far more advanced than any country in Asia, including Japan. After becoming a truly mobile force, the security of the Bohai Sea and the Yangtze River Basin, the most important industrial and economic pillars of the Republic of China, has been greatly guaranteed.
Therefore, comparing the strength gap between the People's Army and local warlords, it has not decreased but has greatly expanded. After the unification of the military order was completed, the unification of the political order was also brought to the parliament. In order to prevent warlords from arranging their own cronies in each province to control the political situation, the governors of each province are elected by the public opinion representatives of each province and appointed by the central government.
The administrative system that Zhang Hanqing previously designed and successfully piloted can be rolled out in various places.
Due to the temporary shortage of senior cadres, in the newly controlled provinces, a five-person group with the highest authority in each administrative unit is composed of the secretary, an administrative head or deputy head of the People's Party, the organization director, the propaganda director, and the secretary of the disciplinary inspection committee to lead major events in the area. matter. Although it has not yet reached the level of disunity within the party that traditionally controls the provinces, under this situation, centralization may not be an option.
At this time, because the reputation of the Congress when Cao Kun bribed the election was already bad, the top-down parliamentary system was basically paralyzed, and the preparations for the new Congress were still being debated by all parties, so basically the administrative power under the People's Party belonged to the People's Party. No more constraints.
This is a good opportunity.
Because the Congress has been dormant, the People’s Party has established provincial party headquarters in each province, gradually controlling public opinion and labor unions in each province, forming a huge force. Administrative and military power are concentrated in the hands of the People's Party. This is a historical development. But if he doesn't take advantage of this rare power restriction vacuum to do something, Zhang Hanqing will not be called a young marshal who "takes advantage of every opportunity."
The 290,000 people laid off must be replenished as soon as possible after this storm. Not only that, but there is also a need to expand. China is too big and its military power has always been too weak. Considering the numerous concessions of the great powers in China and the Kanto Prefecture and Taiwan that Japan will never let go of, it is necessary to recover them by force.
The overall situation does not allow the People's Army to expand, but the People's Party, which controls the government, has established the People's Armed Forces Department in each province, city, and county, which is currently mainly responsible for recruiting troops. The People's Party wants to build a new type of army, and a group of long-standing veterans who fought in the north and south in the past few years should also withdraw from the stage, although a large number of them have been eliminated.
The construction of the armed police force stationed in various provinces and essentially undertaking security tasks is fully reflected in the "People's Party Armed Police Regulations". The Armed Police Force Headquarters has jurisdiction over the Armed Police Border Defense Bureau (7 Bureaus), Coast Guard Bureau (8 Bureaus), and Internal Security Bureau (9 Bureaus), as well as the Northeast, North China, Northwest, East China, Central South (Guangdong, Hunan, and Hubei provinces), Southwest Based on 1 to 6 rounds.
Currently, the bureaus have a military-level structure and govern the armed police forces in all provinces across the country. As of the first half of 1924, the country had 29 corps (division level, one for each province), 6 border armed police divisions, 4 mobile divisions (internal defense troops) and 3 coast guard divisions under preparation.
The main reason for the establishment of the armed police border defense force is to guard the four provinces of Jilin, Heilongjiang, Liaoning and Shandong, where the Japanese have the most infiltration, and the two longest border autonomous provinces of Mongolia and Xinjiang.
With the experience of many previous military reforms, the transformation of the People's Army in 1924 was quite smooth. Through this organizational change, the People's Army has successfully unified many "mountains" in the army under the banner of the People's Party. The military and police officers each perform their duties, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is clear, which is self-evident for the improvement of combat effectiveness.
The military reform in 1924 laid the foundation for national defense and security, especially the integration of the armed police system, which affected the country for decades. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)? is self-evident.

Chapter 688 Gengzi Indemnity
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Since Zhang Zuolin had nominally unified the Republic of China, the time had come for him to pay the Gengzi indemnity. Naturally, the great powers had expectations for him.
In the Year of Gengzi (1900), the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China. The Qing government signed the "Xinchou Treaty" in Beijing on September 7, 1901 with the ministers of 11 countries including Germany, France, Russia, Britain, the United States, and Japan. Paragraph 6 stipulates that the customs clearance of various countries will be compensated with 450 million taels of silver, with an annual interest of 4%, which can be repaid in 39 years. The total principal and interest is 982,238,150 taels, with customs duties, regular duties and salt taxes as collateral. Regular customs at treaty ports are also under the management of the customs.
This huge compensation completely reduced Chinese society to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. It was also the largest single compensation payment in China in an unequal treaty in modern history. China's population at that time was about 45,000 people, and each Chinese was allocated about one tael of silver in the Boxer Indemnity.
The repayment of principal and interest for this compensation will be handled in Shanghai, and will first be collected by HSBC, Dehua, Daosheng, Huali, and Zhengjin Five Banks. The following year, Citibank of the United States opened a branch in Shanghai and participated in the formation of the Banking Committee. The principal and interest collected were paid to designated banks in various countries.
The Qing government could only repay old foreign debts with customs duties. In order to raise compensation, it apportioned an annual amount of more than 21.21 million taels to various provinces and customs, which resulted in land tax, grain tax, deed tax, pawn tax, salt price increase, etc. Customs duties, taxes, unified taxes and various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes continued to increase.
Because the price of silver fell when repaying the compensation, various countries insisted on "paying gold at the market price on the due date". By 1905, the pound deficit owed 1.2 million pounds (8 million taels of combined silver).
On April 26, in order to pay the difference, the Qing government borrowed 1 million pounds from HSBC with an annual interest of 5% and was repaid in 20 years. The total principal and interest were 1,525,000 pounds. The bonds were issued in London at 97% with the tariff and Shanxi Provincial Tobacco and Liquor Tax as offset, and the market price was 99% to 103%. This loan is actually an additional burden for the Gengzi compensation.
According to the provisions of the "Xinchou Treaty", the Qing government paid a total of 450 million taels of silver to the eight Western countries, of which the United States should receive more than 32 million taels, equivalent to more than 24 million U.S. dollars.
In early December 1904, Liang Cheng, the Chinese Minister to the United States, argued with the U.S. Secretary of State John Hay on whether China's reparations should be paid in gold or silver. During the conversation, John Hay revealed: "The Gengzi compensation case is really too much." ——" This information was immediately captured by Liang Cheng. This shows that the US government has discovered that its relevant departments have "exaggerated and falsely reported" the losses caused by the Gengzi Rebellion.
Liang Cheng very smartly gave up the negotiation strategy and stopped arguing with John Hai about whether the compensation should be paid in gold or silver. Instead, he "took advantage of the opportunity to regain the lost profits." He did not miss any opportunity and lobbied the U.S. Congress and members for the return of false compensation, and unexpectedly achieved unexpected gains.
At that time, the domestic elites in the United States did not approve of material plunder. Edmond James, the president of the University of Illinois, believed: "It is more reliable for business to follow spiritual control than to follow the military flag." For this reason, he said in 1906 At the beginning of the year, a memorandum was sent to President Theodore Roosevelt, requesting the U.S. government to speed up attracting Chinese students to the United States.
He urged the U.S. government to take measures to attract Chinese students to create a new group of leaders who will intellectually and spiritually dominate China for the U.S.: "Which country can educate this generation of Chinese youth will be able to educate this generation of Chinese youth. The effort put into it reaps the greatest rewards in terms of spiritual and commercial impact.”
On March 6 of the same year, American missionary Ming Enpu went to the White House to visit President Roosevelt. He suggested that the president return part of the Boxer Indemnity paid by the Qing government of China to specifically open and subsidize schools in China. In 1907, Ming Enpu published the book "Today's China and the United States", in which he pointed out that more Chinese intellectuals should be allowed to study in the United States.
Driven and encouraged by Ming Enpu and others, Roosevelt proposed a consultation paper to Congress, stating: "Our country should use its strength to help China implement education so that this huge number of citizens can gradually integrate into the modern situation. Methods of assistance It is advisable to recruit students to come to the United States and join our universities and other institutions of higher learning so that they can achieve success in their studies and become great talents. I hope that our country’s education sector will embody this good intention, work together with morality, and sponsor this great event for the country.”
On May 25, 1908, the U.S. Congress passed Roosevelt’s consultation paper. On July 11 of the same year, the U.S. Minister to China, Roger Rouge, officially declared to the Chinese government that half of the "Boxer Indemnity" received by the United States would be returned to China for the purpose of funding students studying in the United States. The remaining portion of "actual compensation" includes military compensation for the United States' military deployment to China and compensation for the losses of American businessmen and missionaries in China.
On October 28, the two governments drafted regulations for sending students to the United States: Starting from the first year of refunds, the Qing government should send at least 100 students to the United States each year in the first four years. If enough 400 people are sent by the 4th year, at least 50 people must be sent to the United States every year starting from the 5th year until the refund is used up.
Students who are dispatched must be ""Physically strong, pure in temperament, perfect in appearance, innocent in wealth, and of appropriate age." The Chinese proficiency must be able to compose and have knowledge of literature and history, and the English proficiency can directly attend American universities and vocational schools. It is also stipulated that among them, there should be 80% study agriculture, mechanical engineering, mining, physics, chemistry, railway engineering, banking, etc., and the remaining 20% ??study law, politics, finance, normal education, etc.
At the same time, China and the United States also agreed that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing government would be responsible for establishing a training school for studying in the United States in Beijing. Therefore, in June 1909, Beijing established the Office of Foreign Studies Affairs, which was the prototype of Tsinghua University.
In August 1909, the Ministry of Internal Affairs allocated Tsinghua Garden, a garden given by the imperial family, to the Academic Affairs Office as the site of the Youmei Business Hall. The Academic Affairs Office recruited the first batch of students in Shijia Hutong, from 630 candidates. Among them, 47 people were admitted and went to the United States in October. This is the origin of the Geng Grant students studying in the United States.
The second recruitment examination was held in August 1910. More than 400 people took the exam, and 70 were finally admitted. Among the second batch of Geng Grant students studying in the United States, there was a famous Hu Shi, who ranked 55th in the exam that year. Also on the list were the later linguist Zhao Yuanren and the meteorologist Zhu Kezhen.
At the beginning of 1911, Tsinghua Preparatory School for Studying in the United States was formally established using Geng funds to train students studying in the United States. In the following ten years or so, according to statistics, more than 1,000 students were sent to study in the United States by Tsinghua University. Since 1909, the United States has refunded part of the excess principal and profit as a study fund for studying in the United States. Historically, by June 1924, the remaining principal and profit of more than 12.5 million U.S. dollars had been refunded as a Chinese education and cultural fund.
The refund in the United States has had a great international impact. After the outbreak of the First World War, the Beijing government declared war on Germany and Austria in August 1917. From December of the same year, most of the Boxer payments were deferred for five years. The German and Austrian portion was canceled due to the defeat of the war, and the Russian payment was deferred. , all set aside as domestic public bond funds.
After the war subsided, China also became involved in the status of a victorious nation. All countries expressed their willingness to be "friendly" with China in order to safeguard and expand their interests in China through peaceful means. Therefore, they followed in the footsteps of the United States and gradually gave up or retreated from the Sub-compensation balances and refunds are widely used in China's education, culture and industry.

Chapter 690 Read
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
When the ugly face of the Japanese was written down on paper by the Kuomintang Propaganda Department, public opinion was in an uproar. Comparing the United States and the Soviet Union, they are both great powers, so why is the gap so big? Now China's family is no longer servile for this money!
In order to regain their influence, the Japanese stated that they could give up their right to control the Boxer Indemnity after China signed a document agreeing to "open a railway from Jilin to Huining, North Korea".
Zhang Zuolin decided after thinking for a moment: "Okay."
“In this way, with the Soviet Union and Russia taking the lead, the United States demonstrating, and Japan explicitly or covertly giving up, the consensus on this matter among the major powers with strong geopolitical influence on China quickly turned into the unanimous following of all signatory countries. Under pressure from major countries such as the United States, the Soviet Union, Japan, and Germany, or major countries with an advantage in reparation ratios, to give up reparations, the complete cancellation of Boxer reparations in various countries was a matter of course and unanimously agreed by the great powers.
After signing the agreement, Yamamoto came over from Dalian in a hurry. He wanted Zhang Zuolin to sign the documents previously agreed between China and Japan. Zhang Zuolin did not break his promise, and with a stroke of his pen, the word "read" came alive before his eyes.
Yamamoto was very happy. He went to the Northeast and found Zhang Guochen, the governor of Liaoning who succeeded Wang Yongjiang, and asked him to fulfill it. Unexpectedly, Zhang Guochen only took one look and said loudly: "What is this? Which clause made me agree to do this?"
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? No, but it’s signed by Lao Zhang, isn’t that enough?
Zhang Guochen said confidently: "The current leader is Duan Qirui, I'm sorry to have to obey him!"
If Zhang Guochen didn't know about Zhang Shuai's hostile attitude towards the Japanese, he would not be qualified to be the governor of Liaoning. Is it a joke? Liaoning is Zhang Zuolin’s hometown and the mainstay of the three northeastern provinces. The position of this provincial governor is equivalent to half of the northeast.
When Wang Yongjiang was promoted to governor, he went through a lot of tests. Even after serving as the "Vice Chairman of the National Unification Committee" in the Northeast, he did not lose his position as governor.
And the stronghold of the National Unification Council is located in Shenyang. If we look at Northeast China as an independent country, Liaoning is equivalent to the status of the national capital. When Wang Yongjiang left and Zhang Guochen took over, Yamamoto would not believe him even if he said that he was not Lao Zhang's.
But Zhang Guochen rejected Yamamoto on the grounds that Zhang Zuolin was not the head of state and was not qualified to sign foreign contracts. He had no choice. What they said was right, he could gain a foothold wherever he went.
At this time, the policy of "not taking the lead" that Zhang Hanqing originally requested came into effect. Just some time ago, a group of young men and veterans who were dazzled by the victory proposed to let Zhang Zuolin serve as the president of the Republic of China, so that they could be promoted to officials and enjoy the joy of victory, but Zhang Hanqing stopped them directly.
He believes that anyone can be king, but not Zhang Zuolin.
After a good explanation, everyone realized that in politics, it is not just who has the biggest fist that will win. When you still have to beware of bigger fists, keeping a low profile and biding your time is the right answer.
So, Duan Qirui, who had a certain reputation, but whose reputation had weakened, was singled out. Even Zhang Zuolin, who has made the most contribution to the anti-independence and unification of the country, has not come out to take charge of the center. Why should Sun Yat-sen grab this position? Therefore, Zhang Hanqing's move directly left the Kuomintang politically helpless.
As we all know, the KMT’s advantage lies in its political influence.
With no territory to implement its political program, its influence is slowly declining. If Sun Yat-sen had not immediately agreed to serve on the Transportation Committee and allowed a limited number of Kuomintang members to serve as ministers of several ministries, the Kuomintang's voice would suddenly disappear from the mainstream voices in China. This would be more terrifying than losing the war.
“Allowing Duan Qirui to continue to be a puppet on the stage can give the Fengxi Department some room for buffering in foreign affairs, especially diplomacy with Japan:
Major treaties that are unfavorable to China, bypassing the People's Party that is actually in power, can be completely abolished in the future, and the responsibility lies with Duan; all major events that Duan nods to, if the People's Party does not agree, will actually not take effect - since Duan is in power. , all central government administrative personnel are controlled by the People's Party. Zhang Zuolin hid behind Duan Qirui, enjoying himself.
In order to contain Japan’s actions in Northeast China, Zhang Hanqing tried to use Britain and the United States to contain Japan. He spared no expense to introduce American capital into the Northeast, and asked the United States to build Datong (Dahushan to Tongliao), Shenhai (Shenyang to Hailong) and other railways and the Huludao port. Japan proposed to increase the Jihui Railway and open mines, set up factories, Immigration, etc., as well as the request to prevent China from building a port on Huludao, were not complied with, causing dissatisfaction in Japan.
So Yamamoto returned to Beijing, hoping that Zhang Zuolin could turn the "Beijing-Harbin Line" plan from a secret agreement into an open and formal agreement, and sign another word on the details of the agreement (that is, specific terms). With this word, Yamamoto is confident that Duan Qirui dare not disagree.??, the jade-mouthed pipe broke into two halves!
Zhang Zuolin stood up angrily and rolled his eyes: "Aren't I just such a stinky person? Can't you do it anymore? No matter what, you can't do anything that will make future generations unable to hold their heads up!" After saying this, he angrily said He left Fangze and walked away alone.
Zhang Zuolin was born in the military, and when he was ruthless, he was also very evil. Fengjun has nearly a million elite soldiers in his hands, and he is a force that must be taken seriously wherever he goes. If there is really going to be trouble, the Japanese government will really have to weigh it. So as long as he doesn't become so stiff that he falls out, the Japanese government really has nothing to do with him.
This is the conclusion reached by Zhang Hanqing, Jiang Baili and other military experts before, and it is also Zhang Zuolin's confidence.
Fangze, who was a civil servant, had never seen such a battle before. He did not frighten Lao Zhang. Instead, he was frightened by the opponent's momentum, so he had to go home in despair. On the second day of the two men's night talk, in view of Zhang Zuolin's "indifference", the "unbearable" Japanese government sent a letter of apology through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beijing Government immediately responded to Japan's letter: "The three northeastern provinces and Beijing and Tianjin are all Chinese territory. Don't take our sovereignty as our sovereignty." (The original words are "Sovereignty lies and cannot be ignored").
Although he said harsh words, Zhang Zuolin still cordially received the Japanese press group the next day. Facing the Japanese reporter, Lao Zhang spoke loudly: "I now have 'great awareness and determination', and I bear 'full responsibility' for China's public security. This cannot be questioned," I dare to assert again and again for you. Of'!"
"Of course, Lao Zhang's Tai Chi has always been a civil and military way. He will not do anything to completely block the door by relaxing one by one. When Fangze paid another secret visit and asked Zhang Zuolin about his true intention, Lao Zhang looked pitiful: "I made that statement and said those words, but there was nothing I could do. Public opinion is paying close attention."
Fangze was not shaken by him this time, and immediately took out a new document, which contained several written requirements just made on the order of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: "All talk and no practice, look at these few Conditions, if you are sincere, please sign."
“Sign, sign, sign, I will definitely sign this time.” Lao Zhang looked sincere and accepted the document solemnly. Seeing that the other party's attitude had softened, Fangze finally breathed a sigh of relief: everything is settled.
After returning, he impatiently sent a telegram to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Staff Headquarters, asking these two departments to check and collect the documents sent by Zhang Zuolin. As soon as there is news, inform him immediately.
On the diplomatic front, we are dealing with a troublesome character like Zhang Zuolin. It is really not easy to achieve something. But for several days, no department notified him. I chased after him and asked, and the other person was also surprised. Where can I find the thing you mentioned?
Who are you, playing tricks on me again? Fangze usually seemed a bit "honest and humble", but this time he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and came to settle the score with Lao Zhang.
As soon as they met, before Bage Yalu could curse, Lao Zhang slapped himself on the head and said, "Look at my memory, I have signed the documents for you a long time ago, but I forgot to ask you to come and get them, and you didn't come here yourself. , look at how good it is."
Lao Zhang obediently handed the document to Fangze respectfully. It's only a few days later. Anyway, it's signed and you can go back and pay the account. Fangze's anger in his stomach was mostly relieved by this. After saying a few words such as "Don't be so naughty next time", he turned from anger to joy and walked away happily. He didn't know that his tragic comedy was not over yet.
When I returned to the embassy, ??I opened it and saw that the document was signed "Read" again! There is not even the legendary "so-and-so has a dirty hand". Oh my God, you are not my leader. I want you to just "read" or "read". Fangze's eyesight went dark and he fell down on the chair. What a defeat!
This incident was witnessed by a counselor who was with Fangze at the time. Many years later, he still remembered Zhang Zuolin's "very cunning". Zhang Zuolin used the word "drag" with great proficiency.
The Japanese call him "cunning", but if you think about the dangerous situation Zhang Zuolin is in given China's national conditions, you really can't help but sweat it. Looking at the excellent situation, the Japanese cannot destroy the overall situation under any circumstances. However, if we do not deal with the Japanese in a roundabout way, we will not be able to face the Japanese's encroaching appetite.
Although they look a little embarrassed, compared to the traitorous warriors who benefit from the enemy and enrich themselves, they deserve a thumbs up, not a middle finger. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 691 A Joke

Regarding Zhang Zuolin’s attitude of playing tricks on the Japanese, people within the Fengtian clique and the top leaders of the People’s Party cannot help but be worried. However, their worries are unnecessary. The current Japanese government has not yet made war against China a top priority. The sluggish domestic economy alone is enough for them.
In order to gain a direct understanding of Zhang Zuolin’s thoughts and behaviors, the Japanese government decided to send a high-level visiting delegation to China, led by the royal family member Prince Asaka, and mainly composed of government officials, military instructors, scholars, etc.
The autumn wind is rustling and the water is sluggish. In Yingtai in Zhongnanhai, the Zhang family and his son and the senior officials of the People's Army received them here. This was originally a royal forbidden area. Because it is surrounded by water and is beautiful and pleasant, successive governments of the Republic of China used it to work, live, hold banquets and entertain foreign guests.
From the beginning of the introduction, Zhang Hanqing was so surprised by the identities of this group of people: the most famous theorist of Japanese fascism, Kita Ikki, and later the leader of the "control faction", Nagata Tetsuzan, known as the best brain in the Japanese army, Ishihara Kanji, the leader of the "Imperial Road Sect" and known as Japan's number one military strategist, are all prominently on the list.
No one knows the ultimate power of these people, although their current highest military rank is only Colonel. At this time, both the Imperial Way Faction and the Control Faction were still in their infancy, and their views had not yet been so widely divided. For example, the "Futaba Society" represents the ruling faction. Its core figures, Okamura Neiji, Tojo Hideki, Itagaki Seishiro, and Doihara Kenji, were all the same as Ishihara Kanji of the Emperor Dao faction during the September 18th Incident in official history. Breathing out of one nostril.
But Zhang Hanqing knew. If we catch them all now, it is difficult to say whether Japan's subsequent situation will change significantly. After all, it is idealistic to bet on a certain person for the changes in history. However, the energy exerted by these junior officers, who are quite influential in Japan's military circles, on Japan's move toward militarism cannot be taken lightly.
“These people came here with important purposes. The government behind Zhang Zuolin fired heavy guns at the Japanese, showing a relentless situation in economic, political, and cultural aspects, making the Japanese government feel that it was at risk of losing control of China. The central idea of ??this delegation's visit to China is to find out the details of Zhang Zuolin and his son, so as to explore the way forward for the Japanese government's next response.
King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace is the uncle of Emperor Hirohito of Showa. He is one of the few professional soldiers in the Japanese royal family. He later became known as a radical and supportive soldier of the Imperial Road faction. The Japanese government sent him as the head of the visiting delegation, which has a strong warning meaning.
But Zhang Hanqing was very calm.
To this day, his confidence is not ordinary. In any case, China is much better now than at the same time in history. Under his rule, the strength of the People's Army is enough for the Japanese to consider the issue of stopping after a fire breaks out. Zhang Hanqing is confident that he can defeat Japan politically, economically, and culturally, and will not fall behind militarily.
Therefore, no matter whether you ask soft or hard questions or warn the Japanese, you can always correct your mentality.
The Japanese first wanted to conquer the economic field. They used the "Nishihara loan" borrowed by Duan Qirui when the Anhui clique was in power to ask the Zhang Zuolin government to fulfill its promise. At the beginning, the Japanese approached Jin Yunpeng's government and Zhang Zuolin, but they were all rejected ruthlessly.
When Feng and Anhui were at odds, Lao Zhang could use the excuse that the loan was handled by Duan Qirui, and he ignored it completely even after Duan stepped down. But now Lao Duan is promoted as the "ruling" of the Republic of China. Although he has little power, he is still the head of the country in name. Now people come to ask for debts. It is difficult for Lao Zhang to practice Tai Chi, but it is not impossible.
"Everyone, when Nishihara borrowed the money, I did not recognize the Anhui government at all. My own attitude has been known to Japanese friends for a long time, and I have also told it to the foreign minister, consul, and minister at the time. You funded it at that time The Anhui clique formed a "joining army" to attack our Fengjun army. It was not the work of friends. All the borrowers have resigned, and the account is also a mess. I absolutely do not accept this. Who is responsible for who you think? Who to look for!"
"But the then Prime Minister Duan Qirui is now in power of the Republic of China. He is still in power, so of course it counts. We have registered all the amounts and can check them at any time." This is an official from Japan's Ministry of Finance interjecting .
Hey, Duan Qirui should have been pulled down a long time ago, otherwise this incident would not have happened today.
When Zhang Zuolin first entered Beijing, Zhang Hanqing's strategy was to let the People's Party fully seize power politically, focus on development militarily, and dominate the country economically, hiding its power and biding its time. However, in terms of political influence, it pushed Duan Qirui to suppress The popularity of the Kuomintang and Sun Yat-sen. Whatever the People's Party cannot say or do that is not convenient for them to do, Duan Qirui will do it.
So Duan Qirui canThere is a very sinister intention behind the policy, which is to borrow large amounts of Japanese yen and inject it into China's national banks such as the Bank of Communications to help China rectify its financial system and reform its currency system, and gradually achieve "Japan-China currency mixing."
In the end, "in the name of protecting funds," the Japanese military stationed military police at the State Bank of China. That is, not only in terms of funds, but also through military control, they fundamentally control China's finance, and then control the lifeblood of the entire Chinese country.
From a purely economic perspective, Japan’s borrowings are at a loss. But regardless of the outcome, even if the Japanese organizers of the Nishihara loan betray the country, absolutely no one wants to sell Japan. There is still a plan behind their generous borrowing. In fact, they were calculating political accounts with greater profits. However, due to subsequent changes in the entire international situation, Terauchi, Katsuda and Nishihara's wishful thinking failed to come true.
Zhang Hanqing, who had caused major changes in China's political situation, was sitting at the table and sternly denied the loan. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 692: Japan-China Military Alliance

In fact, from the time Lao Zhang took charge of Beijing government affairs, the Japanese felt that he was difficult to deal with and no longer thought about this loan. Of course, in this kind of lending, not only economic accounts can be settled, but also political accounts can be settled.
Later, although due to the turmoil in China's political situation, loan guarantees were unreliable and many loans were not actually repaid, politically, they gained a lot.
At this time, with the formation of China's unification, Japan's domestic voice of showing off its force and putting pressure on China became weaker. Therefore, King Asaka Palace Hatohiko did not ask to talk about this matter during his trip, but he could just dig a little bit. Yes a little.
Seeing the toughness of the people in the Feng clan, the Japanese also felt that this was done a bit unfairly. You borrowed money to support the other party's enemy, but now you have to ask for principal and interest from the other party. Earth people still have a certain fire nature. Therefore, the Japanese are well aware of their dissatisfaction with Lao Xiao Zhang. If it were not a matter between countries, even sympathy and understanding would not be possible.
There is a more important purpose for this trip, so Kitaki wisely bypassed this matter: "Leave economic matters to the officials of the Ministry of Finance and your country's Ministry of Finance for consultation. King Asaka Palace Kohihiko's trip , I came with the purpose of Sino-Japanese friendship. I think your government has a strong appeal on this matter, right?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Today, Japan and China are interconnected economically, share the same culture and race, and are both geographically located in Asia. We believe that Asia is Asia for Asians, and Japan and China have common interests in allowing the Asian people to jointly fight against the European and American countries. So, we wonder, can the two countries sign a military alliance to ensure better development of relations between the two countries? "
Kit Ikki is indeed an active advocate of the Sino-Japanese alliance, but his thoughts are dominated by Japan. Originally, after defeating Russia and Germany, the voice of "Huang Ke Bai" in Japan became louder, and Japan seemed to regard itself as the "protector god" of Asia. The 21st and Nishihara borrowings, both hard and soft, are actually Japan's attempts to monopolize China.
It’s just that the earth is round. Although the European and American powers are trapped in war, it does not mean that they have disappeared from this earth. In any case, Europe and the United States cannot allow Japan to monopolize China. And because Zhang Hanqing soared into the sky, the situation at home and abroad moved in a direction that was beneficial to the Feng clique and China. In particular, the People's Party restored China's new glory with its unifying gesture, and Zhang Hanqing's visit to the Soviet Union and Germany and the formation of extraordinary major-country relations suddenly made China's domestic and foreign affairs situation suddenly clear.
In this way, the Sino-Japanese alliance theory, which was once very popular, has once again gained momentum, and Kitaki is an active advocate.
In his opinion, modern Japan has a great influence on China. He believes that the success of the Revolution of 1911 was because of the Chinese students who studied in Japan, who spread the spirit of Japan’s Meiji Restoration to China. Therefore, the Revolution of 1911 was a revolutionary movement modeled on Japan’s Meiji Restoration.
As the backbone of revolutionary groups, their style of conduct was deeply influenced by Japan, and they made great contributions to the formation of Chinese revolutionary groups. For example, Japan's Army Noncommissioned Officer School has trained the vast majority of senior officers from various factions in China, including those from the Fengcian and People's Army series.
Therefore, he emphasized the importance of Japanese factors to the success of the Chinese revolution and believed that Japan was the "midwife of the Chinese revolution." In this case, as long as it appropriately shows its acceptance of China, a gradually stronger China will be able to Fall to Japan. In this way, when competing with Europe and the United States, you can get corresponding assistance.
To be fair, contemporary Chinese is greatly influenced by Japan, with “Japanese goods” accounting for more than 70% (in terms of social and liberal arts). Popularity, photo, interpretation, cutting-edge, workplace, new humanity, viewpoint, parent-child, expert, broadcast, complete defeat, complete victory, superiority, drip, even health, hygiene, darling, savings, passenger, disgust, kiss, nervousness, criticism, production …
These words that we in later generations may use casually are actually "introduced" from Japan. We use the characters created by our ancestors to form Japanese original words, which are widely used in daily life, which illustrates the fact that "Chinese" has become a historical civilization shared by the Chinese cultural circle.
Since the Sino-Japanese War, China and Japan have become closely related enemies. When Japan has a cold, China has a fever, and vice versa. China and Japan are close neighbors and feuders, but to a certain extent they cannot live without each other.
When China was strong, it eagerly learned advanced experience and culture; when China fell behind, it claimed that only Japan was the "introducer of Western civilization" and had absorbed and digested Western civilization most perfectly, thus becoming the only country in the East. The representative belongs to the only Eastern country that can occupy a place in the modern world.
On this basis, we generously (or consciously) exported our experiences to Chinese students studying abroad, thus creating the Heavenly Kingdom.proud.
"But Zhang Hanqing is not interested in this.
A military alliance between countries cannot be formed when the strengths and weaknesses of both parties are obvious or under humiliating conditions for one party. Mao Mao's categorical refusal to form a joint fleet with the Soviet Union was a clear example. Forming an alliance with a militaristic Japan is itself an insult to the peace-loving Chinese people, not to mention that Japan still occupies China's Taiwan and Liaodong Bay.
"Mr. Bei Yihui's idea is unique, but we don't agree with it completely. China has just recovered from the ruins of the war. What is before us now is the reunification of the country and many years of rest and recuperation. We and the United States, the Soviet Union and Germany has established good diplomatic relations. We have no external threats, and we have no ambition or ability to invade other countries, so military alliances do not apply to China.
Of course, I personally am very grateful to the Japanese government for its attention to China, and I am very willing to work on improving Sino-Japanese relations. China and Japan are close neighbors and need to live in friendship and peace, which is beneficial to the people of both countries. The trade volume between our two countries is the largest and our ties are the closest.
I really appreciate what Mr. Kitaki said, "Asia is Asia for Asians." Asia is big enough to accommodate China and Japan. East Asia is rich in coal and iron resources but lacks oil, while Southeast Asia and the Middle East are rich in oil, and Southeast Asia also has a large amount of rubber. These are enough to support the sustainable development of the industries of our two countries. On this point, we have the same aspirations.
Now, except for China and Japan, other Asian countries are under the ravages of European and American powers, and we look forward to Japan making its due contribution to this. "
Zhang Hanqing not only cleverly rejected the suggestion of a military alliance, but also pointed out implicitly that the resource origin that restricted Japan's industrial development was Southeast Asia and the Middle East under the control of the British and Americans, which made them slightly less focused on China.
Japan is now like a drowning man, clinging to the straw of China. If it is told during its breather that there is a life raft next to it, with abundant food and sound living facilities inside, it will make a choice once possible.
This is called diverting misfortunes to the east.
It’s not that Zhang Hanqing is unauthentic and does not have the spirit of internationalism, but the reality is as he said, except for China and Japan, all of Asia is under the enslavement of European powers.
Britain and France equally divided Indochina, Britain annexed India, the Netherlands controlled Indonesia, the United States brought the Philippines under its command, and West Asia was the sphere of influence of Europe and the United States Of course, Japan was not idle either. It annexed North Korea, plundered Taiwan, occupied Liaodong, and even set eyes on Staring directly at North China, East China, South China and all of China.
Zhang Hanqing was never afraid of Japan before, and even more so now. However, if we can relieve the Chinese nation from the suffering of war without fighting, can China avoid that global war with huge sacrifices, even if we can sacrifice ourselves, can we show off to others? He does not have the internationalist spirit of universal harmony. His selfishness is only in China.
Since the Meiji period, Japan has been locked in a dispute between "going north" and "going south". Going north is the war strategy formulated by the Army, targeting China and Russia, with the main purpose of seizing territory; moving south is the war direction formulated by the Navy, targeting the British and American powers, with the purpose of seizing islands, resources and maritime lifelines. Both sides have their own conflicts and have made many tests for this purpose.
The Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War were the first rounds of testing and gained a lot. Especially in World War I, after witnessing the strength of the maritime power of European and American countries, they became more determined to go north, so the Far East intervened.
But this time it hit the wall. The four-year Siberian War allowed Japan to invest all its savings over the years without reaping any benefits. It also offended a rising Soviet Union. Looking back, we can see that the situation in which the Fengtian system is unique has been formed. Unless it directly sends troops to intervene, the trend of the Fengcheng system to dominate the whole country is unstoppable.
At this time, it fell into internal and external difficulties: its economy was unsatisfactory, diplomatically it was forced to sign the "Washington Treaty", and politically it gradually lost China. It had lost its best ten years.
During the First World War, the Japanese government and public regarded it as an opportunity of "God's blessing", and of course they wanted to take this opportunity to swallow up China. However, for Japan, China is too big. If it rashly goes to war and conquers by force, no one can predict;
Not daring to start a war, but adopting a tough and aggressive attitude, not only increased the hostility of the Chinese people, but also caused a rift between Japan, Britain and the United States, and the rift is getting bigger and bigger. Britain and the United States, especially the United States, are becoming increasingly wary of Japan's ambitions.
In this case, it no longer has as many cards to play against China under the Feng faction as it did in the past: according to various intelligence, the strength of the People's Army Army has far exceeded that of Japan, and its industry and economy Its capabilities have already surpassed them. The most important thing is that the People's Party's political and organizational power are astonishing. This is probably one of the reasons why Zhang Zuolin and his son dare to become more and more high-profile against Japan, right?
Under various subtle influences, the Japanese government's behavior towards China tends to be conciliatory rather than aggressive. To use a saying that the Chinese often say, "People are not afraid of death, but how can they be afraid of death?" It also requires some skills. Therefore, when Zhang Zuolin's "playing" and "defaulting" happened, the Japanese government could only scratch its nose and endure it.

Once Zhang Hanqing’s “911 Project Plan” was announced, it caused a sensation in the intellectual and cultural circles.
Being proud externally will win the respect of bloody intellectuals. Although Zhang Hanqing's remarks that dared to despise the Japanese Emperor were filtered by the Japanese, they were consciously recited in China, which greatly increased his image in public opinion.
??These practices of developing the economy, developing industry, and promoting education truly reflect the confidence of the People's Party and the People's Government in leading the country. They are no longer like the previous warlords who invested money in military construction. The actions of Zhang Zuolin's government have changed from "conquering the world" to "ruling the country."
The government's emphasis on "culture" gave intellectuals a new lease of life. Zhang Hanqing, in particular, did not take pride in having "a century of experience" to push forward his policies. Instead, he advocated that "education should be run by people in the education sector, and education should be run by cultural professionals." "People in the industry recommend culture", which is very popular. In Beijing and Tianjin, the cultural circle is more active than before.
Literary and martial arts have always been a symbol of national strength. You may call him arty, following the crowd, or putting on airs. Anyway, as Zhang Hanqing scolded the Japanese royal family and implemented the New Education Policy, his impression in the cultural circle became high again. During the few days he was in Beijing, he received several calls in a row. Salon invitation.
Who made his poems so "famous"?
As an “alumni” of Peking University, Zhang Hanqing’s reputation in Peking University circles is not low. Huang Kan smiled and expressed sadness with him. Hu Shi was an old acquaintance, and his friendship with Qian Xuantong was even more extraordinary. Everyone is a regular visitor to the salon held at Liang Sicheng's home.
There are a few regular customers that I must mention. The hostess Lin Huiyin was bound to attend, and Xu Zhimo naturally couldn't help but take advantage of the popularity. Another admirer of hers, Jin Yuelin from the Jinshi family, also joined in. And Lu Xiaoman, who was close to Lin Huiyin, would not let go of this good place to spend time, which inevitably gave Xu Zhimo some ideas. After coming and going, there was a hazy atmosphere in the circle.
Zhang Hanqing was very depressed. He knew that Lu Xiaoman ended up with Xu Zhimo, but this would be a disservice to Wang Geng. Although Wang Geng generously married the two of them in official history, the fact that he has never been married shows that he should still care about this. A marriage.
But emotional matters are destined not to change according to his will. The inertia of history is still very strong. No, Xu Zhimo's erudition and versatility still surprised Lu Xiaoman, and Jier was very interested. The next step would definitely be sex.
Just like what Lu Xiaoman later wrote in the Preface (2) of "Love Meister": "When we (she and Xu Zhimo) met, I had already followed my parents' orders to marry someone else, although At that time, I was already over ten years old, but my spiritual confusion was as confused as that of a child. It was more than a year after my marriage that I learned a little about human affairs, and understood that the union of the two sexes cannot be just left to the arrangements of others, and that they cannot collude in temperament and thoughts. And forced union is the most painful thing in the world. At that time, because I could not get comfort from my family, I changed my normal state, buried my will, and buried myself in the bustle of life to forget the pain in my heart. And because I was delicate My slow nature did not allow me to reveal my true feelings, so I straightened my neck and sang in front of people as if I was singing. I absolutely refused to let anyone know that I was a frustrated person, which meant that I was an unhappy person. This kind of life continued until we met by accident. I asked Zhimo to let his radiant eyes shine through my heart and recognize my hidden pain."
Zhang Hanqing couldn't tell whether Xu Zhimo's eyes were "radiating with brilliance" as Lu Xiaoman said, but what he could see was that Xu Zhimo's "dark" eyes were like radar on the hostess and others in the living room. The female guests wandered back and forth. He already has a proud writing style and outgoing emotions. The key is to have leisure and time. Wang Geng, as Lu Xiaoman's husband, is weak in this area.
At this time, Wang Geng was a young man who was ambitious and high-spirited. He was a talented student who graduated from West Point Military Academy. He had lived in the United States for many years and everything was done according to Western-style work methods. When is time for work and when is time for entertainment?
Beijing is the capital, and as the police chief, he has endless things to do every day. He has extremely strict requirements on himself, is busy with official duties every day, and his behavior is as rigid as an ascetic. Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, he is a dedicated officer, citizen, and man, and everyone has a very good impression of him.
However, his marriage to Lu Xiaoman was a trap from the beginning: How could Lu Xiaoman, who lived a comfortable life and was romantic by nature, accept this strict husband? Shen Congwen once said: "Women in the city know a little bit of writing, but they only want life to be poetry." Wang Geng cannot do this, but Xu Zhimo can.
Seeing them flirting and flirting privately, Zhang Hanqing had no intention of stopping. What reason? How to do it? who is he? I wanted to add a crime of disrupting military marriages to the Marriage Law.Playing, the atmosphere of academic confrontation is still very strong, but it does not affect the private friendship between everyone. Since it is a salon, when we talk about our stance on this matter, there is less debate and more humor.
Huang Kan and Zhang Hanqing were not acquainted with each other before fighting. Now that Zhang Hanqing's status has improved, they did not escalate their feud because of this, but became good friends over time.
He strongly supported the promotion of classical Chinese, while another cultural giant, Hu Shi, was in love with vernacular Chinese. The two people quarreled in class and pinched each other in the newspaper. Outsiders thought it was true that they were enemies. Who knew that their friendship in private would be so good that they could sit together and happily chat over tea?
Now they are fighting over this matter again. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 696 A Love

Hu Shi’s first conversation was with Zhang Hanqing.
"Young Marshal, I haven't heard of your masterpiece for a long time since the song "Shayannara". I wonder if there are any new works coming out recently? Once Young Marshal comes out, it will definitely be a masterpiece. Who can say that you can write about separation with such depth? Modern poetry has no artistic conception?" He started to face Zhang Hanqing, and as he spoke, he looked at Huang Kan, which meant something.
As we all know, Huang Kan is a staunch supporter of vernacular writing. He has always believed that new poetry has no nutrition and cannot write as grand and profound as old-style poetry. Now, he talks about Zhang Hanqing's achievements in old-style poetry.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? In the past, I wrote modern poetry because I was not afraid of being accused of plagiarism, so I just wrote it. Now in 1924, some famous poems have begun to be published in newspapers. Zhang Hanqing is not sure whether some poems have been born. He only remembers the poems but forgets the year of birth. Considering the backwardness of communication technology, if you accidentally blurt out a poem that has already been published, your reputation will be ruined.
Therefore, the later he got, the more cautious he became about writing modern poetry, and he even "stopped pen writing" for a time.
When Hu Shi asked, he just smiled and said: "Poetry is a small way, for pleasure and entertainment. Nowadays, state affairs are busy, and I really have no mood to write these things - there are specialties in art, and in front of Brother Shi, I can only I am just a spectator and listener. However, thanks to my sincerity, I was not kicked out of the Liang family, and I have to thank Brother Liang for his generosity."
He was telling the truth. After all, Hu Shi was a master of both Chinese and Western studies. His half bottle of vinegar still tasted sour when poured out, but over time it tasted like nothing. It was better to leave early. However, he blamed his inability to write poems on state affairs. In Liang Qingzhu's eyes, a picture of great concern for the country and the people emerged on the page.
Huang Kan went on to say: "If I say, what the Young Marshal really admires is the old-style poetry. "Qing Ping Le", "Nian Nu Jiao", "Shui Diao Ge Tou", "Qin Yuan Chun" are all excellent works, worthy of their praise. Compared with all the people in the past, we should not let the sages of the past be the most beautiful. It can be seen from many of the young commander's poems that vernacular poetry is just drama, and old-style poetry is the most praised."
No matter whether one is good or bad, Zhang Hanqing is always praised. No matter which one is better or worse, it is Zhang Hanqing who shines. Their argument made it difficult for the person involved, Zhang Hanqing, to deal with him. Anyway, he had to be humble.
Hu Shi disagreed: "Old-style poetry requires a certain knowledge of writing, but it is not as easy to understand as vernacular literature? Young Marshal wants to popularize education. Is it easier to understand vernacular literature or ancient Chinese literature? Times are changing, and our understanding in the cultural world must also be consistent with Keep up with the times.”
The term “advancing with the times” was first used by Zhang Hanqing at the Central Plenary Session of the People’s Party at the beginning of the year. It later became a weapon for reformers to oppose the conservatives, and even Hu Shi used it.
Huang Kan got excited: "Vernacular writing is too wordy! For example, brother Shi, your wife died, and your family sent a telegram to notify you personally. If you use classical Chinese, it would be 'your wife is dead, come home soon', but if you use vernacular it should be written 'your wife'" He's dead, come back quickly' 11 words, the telegram fee is twice as expensive as using classical Chinese."
The whole audience burst into laughter. No one was ashamed of Huang Kan's evil words about his wife. Only Liang Qingzhu had been in the circle for a short time and didn't know the ins and outs of it. He secretly asked Lin Hui why he dared to say that, but Hu Shi wasn't angry and everyone found it interesting. You can't play with your friend's wife, and now he even uses curses.
Speaking of this matter, there is a long story. To make a long story short, Hu Shi lived in this era, in which concubinage was actually allowed, and brothels could be found everywhere. There were many people around him who had three wives and four concubines, and Zhang Hanqing was an outstanding representative.
However, the wife he married is very special. Her name is Jiang Dongxiu, she is one year older than Hu Shi (there is also a local saying similar to the saying in the north that "a girl who is one year old cannot be a wife"), is much shorter than Hu Shi, has a bad figure, and looks good. Usually, my feet are bound. What made Hu Shi even more dissatisfied was that not only had she not been baptized by the new culture, she could not even read a few words.
But I can’t stand her bravery.
Hu Shi is a lover. While attending a meeting in Hangzhou last year and recuperating from illness, he hit it off with his third sister-in-law, Cao Chengying, who offered to take care of Hu Shi and move in together.
Jiang Dongxiu knew about this, but didn’t think much about it. After all, they were relatives and fellow villagers. But soon Cao Chengying became pregnant. She divorced her ex-husband, and Hu Shi also filed for divorce, which angered Jiang Dongxiu. Not only did she make a fuss, but she also drank twenty bowls of wine out of anger and threatened to kill her two sons.
This matter is no longer a secret in the circle. Hu Shi is a passionate scholar, so he retreated. After all, the reputation of "unlucky" is not something he can bear. So when people ridiculed him, "Hu Shi's fame spread throughout the world, and so did his wife's little feet." He could only smile. All his friends who pitied him could only "curse Mrs. Death"We meet each other again and plan to live another life from afar. Who will believe that he will live another life? A misty and lingering feeling.
How could I miss you at that time? I know there is drifting, but drifting after all, even if it is drifting, I still feel sorry for you. "
I vaguely remember that this is "Picking Mulberry" written by Huang Kan. Before time travel, I had read it and thought it was very sentimental, but now I am not sure when it was written, so he vaguely said "I have read" the poem. If Huang Kan admits it, that’s okay, I’m just borrowing it; if Huang Kan doesn’t respond, no, I’ve composed another good song!
With this poem, he decided to say goodbye to Lin Huiyin in his imagination. They are not the same kind of people and are destined to have no intersection. He was unwilling to hurt such a wonderful woman with backbone, culture, and ideals. After many years, he could still remember the conversation between her and her son Liang Congjie recorded in history:
"What will we do if the Japanese really come in?"
"There is always a way out for Chinese scholars. Isn't the Yangtze River right at our doorstep?"
Meeting such a woman in this time and space is a kind of fate, which is rare. To use a line: If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for being so late in meeting, and fate is playing tricks on people.

Chapter 698 Catch the adulterer
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
A night of fish and dragon dance.
I don’t know how long it took, but he suddenly heard a sharp shout at the door, which woke him up from his deep sleep. It also frightened Liang Qingzhu, who had been dreaming, and screamed. Zhang Hanqing turned over and looked at the door keenly. Yu Yifan, who was slim and graceful, was standing next to the door. He looked at the two people on the bed with wide eyes like an overly frightened baby bird.
Zhang Hanqing was completely sleepless after being caught, while Liang Qingzhu buried her head deep in the quilt and acted like an ostrich. After all, he was experienced. Zhang Hanqing pretended to be surprised: "Hey! Yifan, why are you here?"
After Yu Yifan screamed, his mood became much more balanced, and he also asked: "Why are you here?"
“Isn’t it obvious that there are lice on the bald head? There is a person lying there under the quilt. Although Zhang Hanqing is thick-skinned, he can't say anything directly. He can't say "I'm sleeping with Miss Liang Jiu"!
It was Yu Yifan who broke the silence - women have a strong heart after becoming a woman, which is completely different from when they were a girl. Zhang Hanqing felt deeply after that. She said: "You two are so ashamed, why don't you put on your clothes!"
Zhang Hanqing thought, it wasn't the one time he took off his clothes naked in front of Yu Yifan and made all kinds of ugliness, but this time after all, he was not with her, so he actually seemed a bit shy, so coquettish that he couldn't lift his buttocks. . Yu Yifan also thought of something, blushed, sucked him in and said, "I'll wait for you downstairs!"
"This has never happened before, because Yu Fengzhi and Huang Wanqing have their own bedrooms, Gu Ruiyu has a home in Tianjin, and the place where Yu Yifan and he had a tryst was in Yingtai. With Zhang Hanqing's current status, everywhere he goes is heavily guarded and outsiders cannot trespass, let alone his several fixed nests?
It’s just that the relationship with Liang Qingzhu developed too quickly, and there was no corresponding guard level. All the guard forces were okay against outsiders, but had no effect on those who were as close as ordinary people. He didn't expect that Yu Yifan would find this place.
"Miss Yu and I are good friends. Of course she can come and go at my house as she pleases, but I didn't expect that she would come here today." Liang Qingzhu, who slowly revealed half of her head, explained Zhang Hanqing's doubts with lingering fear. She was so distracted that she didn't even notice that the soft silk quilt covering her body was slipping away.
However, Zhang Hanqing, who had calmed down, no longer dwelled on the matter. His eyes were already fixed on Liang Qingzhu's soft shoulders and snow-white body.
"I couldn't believe that such a weak body could withstand his strong whippings several times. It turned out that her frail body also had strong resilience. Reminiscing every detail of last night, the corner of his mouth revealed indescribable pride.
"How do I face her?" Miss Liang Jiu bit her lips helplessly, which Zhang Hanqing had thoroughly enjoyed. When he didn't see an answer, he frowned and looked around, only to see the eyes of the man next to him staring straight down at the white skin. His concentration was comparable to that of a meditating scholar.
Although she had completely given herself to him many times, Liang Qingzhu still couldn't help being shy. She stretched out her white arms and pulled up the soft quilt to block Zhang Hanqing's prying eyes: "Bad guy."
The young body recovered very quickly, and seeing this fragrant scene in the morning, Zhang Hanqing wanted to score twice or something, but she was worried that her sister-in-law would have a taste of it for the first time and would have any sequelae, so she had to restrain herself.
The trickle of water will last forever. He reluctantly gave up any further action, hugged her delicate body and said, "Why do you have such a good relationship with Yifan?"
? Skin-to-skin contact, still a little throbbing. Liang Qingzhu blinked her beautiful willow eyebrows and leaned into Zhang Hanqing's arms and said softly: "I have known Yifan for a long time. Didn't I beg her to ask you to help reject the Ye family's marriage?"
Oh, I remember, Yifan seemed to have said that they were good friends when we were in Tianjin. Unexpectedly, he thought of Beijing, and the relationship between the two got closer. Liang Qingzhu, who had no relatives or friends except his father, valued his only friend even more. Yu Yifan also likes Miss Ninth, whom I feel pity for. How could Liang Qingzhu be able to accompany Zhang Hanqing without her contribution?
When the two people who had returned to normal appeared in front of Yu Yifan, Liang Qingzhu didn't know how to speak, and Zhang Hanqing was also preparing to wait for her storm, but Yu Yifan looked at Zhang Hanqing faintly and said, "Qingzhu is very pitiful , but I asked you to save her, but I didn’t ask her to give you my life!”
She also understands that the rice has already been cooked, and there is no point in talking about anything else. Furthermore, it was herself who put Liang Qingzhu in front of Zhang Hanqing. How could she not know who her little uncle was? Even Zhang Hanqing suspected that she was the victim and that what happened was the result of her deliberate efforts.
But it’s just shameless to think so.
?????????????????????Yifan has a strong immunity to Zhang Hanqing's dishonesty. In fact, given his current conditions, as long as he is willing, countless bees, butterflies and moths will surround him like moths rushing to the flame. Compared with her uncle Zhang Zuolin's six-bedroom concubine, Zhang Hanqing was pretty good.
But by the count, he now has four wives by name. He heard that there is a beauty named the seventh lady of the Sheng family who is pursuing Lin Huiyin. He doesn't know how many other targets are waiting for him. .
This is fate, who made this an era of alternation between old and new? Who allows the legacy of patriarchal society to still deeply affect the land of China? Who allowed himself to fall in love with this little uncle regardless of worldly eyes?
Without waiting for a reply, she smiled to herself: "I originally wanted to tell you the story of Mr. Hu being caught in rape, but I didn't expect to catch a couple myself first."
When Yu Yifan smiled, Zhang Hanqing knew that the storm had disappeared. She has a memory that belongs to the year of the Fish, and she is also straight-tempered. She basically doesn't hide things or hide things. This is also her cute side, and there is basically no burden to be with her.
In line with the idea that a dead Taoist friend should not die a poor Taoist, he brought the topic to Hu Shi: "Ah, why was Lao | Hu caught raped?" It seemed that saying this could wash away the remaining sense of shame in him, and then stand on moral ground again. of high ground.
Yu Yifan sneered and said, "I'm more unjust than you. At least you're telling the truth, but I didn't do anything."
It turns out that since Hu Shi’s affair with Cao Chengying happened, his wife Jiang Dongxiu has fully displayed the spirit of Sherlock Holmes, paying special attention to everything about him, big and small, to see if she can find any clues. Hu Shi's inspired writing last night was naturally seen by her. You know your own family affairs, and you don’t need to be educated to see that your husband is disconnected from the educated Cao Chengying.
The last time there was a big fuss, Ying Chengying had an abortion, and her husband also promised not to divorce, but as the saying goes, "Husband, husband, husband within one foot". Out of sight, who knows what he might do? I heard that his circle is very chaotic. Birds of a feather flock together. If things continue like this, people will no longer be like each other!
????????? I endured it until it was dark, and finally got up to see what my husband had written. At least I still know a few words. What the "figure in my heart" can understand is definitely not me. I am right next to him, right?
Hu Shi got up as usual and felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at home. Jiang Dongxiu grabbed a piece of paper and said angrily: "I haven't seen you for a few days. Your literary talent is very good. 'Miscellaneous and lingering is a kind of feeling. Even if it is wandering, I still feel dear.' When did you become so interested in erotic poems and lines? Heartbroken? The figure in your heart is so lingering. I bet you still miss that woman! You said she was going to Mount Emei to become a monk, but before she left, her soul has followed her!"
The more she spoke, the more excited she became: "You are a half-pound duck with four mouths, but you are still stubborn. If you sincerely marry your cousin, kill my mother and I first!"
Probably feeling unsatisfied, he showed his roar to the neighbors: "You let everyone comment, what do you think of a great scholar and great writer? After all, you are also the most famous great professor. There are five people in front of you and six people behind your back." He is full of frivolous things, thinking all day long about becoming an old landowner with a group of wives and concubines, eating from the bowl and dominating the pot, and you let everyone comment, is this disgusting letter written by a human!"
Hu Shi was in trouble and couldn't tell, but what his wife said was true. Cao Shiying was staying well in Beijing now and running there when he had no time. He was not "eating in the bowl and dominating the pot all day long." What? The key is that the evidence is conclusive, and he can't say it was written by Zhang Hanqing.
The sentence "The figure that cannot be blown away from my heart" was indeed written by him. Zhang Hanqing's words were just for the occasion - but this matter will become darker and darker!
Hu Zhai was in a state of turmoil, and Hu Shi was naturally embarrassed. He tried his best to defend himself, but the method he used was very strange.
"Madam, please calm down first, I wrote it blindly. What Confucius said is Kong Shuo, what Mencius said is Meng Shuo, and my own words are just nonsense."
Jiang Dongxiu was just using the topic to express herself, and she didn't do anything for herself. When her husband asked for mercy, she wanted to stop the war. After all, the couple was not caught in the act, it was just the writing that could not lead to a big case. This was not the era of literary inquisition, and considering that the husband himself was a well-educated and well-educated man. However, if he is not punished, it is inevitable that he will lose his memory. If you talk too much about these colorful words, you will inevitably run out of ideas.
"Whether you're talking nonsense or you really think about it, write me another poem now. I don't know what 'misty lingering' is. Write about you and me properly. Aren't you a cultural person? Isn’t it difficult for you?”
As a great man of culture, Hu Shi’s ability is really not limited. Under severe pressure from his wife, he actually cut out a poem for him:
"I remember that year, your family arranged a dowry and my family prepared a new house, but they never caught me, the groom.
In the past ten years, I have visited several emperors and seen many changes in the world.
Your trousseau scissors have become rusty, and how many of your wedding dresses have been changed, making you and I a pair older;
"There are only those ten years old firecrackers. The older they are, the louder they become."
The realm of poetry cannot be said to be very high, but it is more than enough to deal with Jiang Dongxiu. But later Hu Shi still couldn't figure out why Zhang Hanqing could take the same thing like a fish in water, but he himself would be dried out even if he made a splash. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Since then, I have met several emperors and seen many bleak times in the world.

Chapter 699 Where justice lies
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
Having previously escalated the verbal dispute to the level of satirizing the Japanese Emperor, Zhang Hanqing knew that he and the Japanese had already turned against each other, and it was no longer possible to return to the tacit "honeymoon" that he had before. It is estimated that the current Japanese government has extremely regretted supporting the cheap father and sitting back and watching itself grow stronger, right?
Of course, no matter what, breaking up with the Japanese is inevitable, but now that we have done it, there are many more variables. After that, it needs to be well laid out.
After all, it’s not easy to live life looking at other people’s faces. If we want to completely get rid of the fetters of the Japanese, we must have a stable regime. To achieve this goal, unification of political and military orders is necessary.
After seizing the armed forces of the National Army and the Jin Army, the Republic of China has completed its formal unification. In any case, all parties have recognized the Republic of China as the legitimate government. Unexpectedly, some people are using the names of "protecting the law" and "protecting the country" to pursue separatism.
As for the separatist forces in the southwestern provinces, they are only separated militarily. In principle, they still obey the central government. In this way, foreign forces have no reason to interfere in China's own internal affairs. Now is the best time to complete de facto unification. Therefore, after the legitimacy of Zhang Zuolin's government was recognized by the great powers, a crusade against the southwest princes was inevitable.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT Moreover, most of the personnel laid off by the People's Army are old soldiers of the Northeast Army, or side branches or troops who have not been fully reorganized, and have no impact on combat effectiveness. At the end of 1924, Zhang Hanqing reorganized the newly recruited soldiers recruited from various places into active service and added three designations: 21st, 31st, and 32nd Army.
The New 21st Army was added to the Central China Military Region, with Song Zheyuan as its commander, to prepare for the attack on the Southwest; the 31st and 32nd New Army were added to the North China Military Region to enhance the strength of Shandong and Qingdao, the northern maritime gateways. This rebound, the People's Army Army reached 33 corps.
Of course, the rearmament division claims to be used as a "railway corps" and is planned for transportation construction in various places, which can be regarded as a dual-use in peacetime. But whether this is actually the case, only God knows, because they are still counted in the army's sequence.
When there is a need to build railways in the local area, some people are indeed dispatched. However, when they are stationed in places where there are no railways or planned railways, no one has time to ask what the railway soldiers usually do.
"The increase in the number of officers and soldiers alone is nothing, but if you see that almost all the army division commanders were brought out or organized by Zhang Hanqing, you can know how powerful this cohesion is. The troops are heading in the same direction, and everyone is united. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to completely unify mainland China, all our factions will die of shame.
The young marshal has a good understanding of people, which can be seen in his use of various surrendered generals. Unlike many old Feng faction members such as Wu Junsheng who exclude people from other factions, he does everything possible to conquer his generals with his personal charm and make full use of their talents, regardless of their origins. The most famous ones are Yu Xuezhong, a soldier from Hubei, who was promoted to commander of the Guangzhou Military Region, and Jiang Baili was promoted to commander of the Nanjing Military Region and later became Minister of Defense.
Others include Shang Zhen from the Jin clan, Song Zheyuan and Zhang Weixi from the Feng clan, and Zhang Zizhong from the Feng clan, all of whom have been promoted to army commanders after surrendering to the People's Army; Sun Lianzhong, Liu Ruming, Sun Liangcheng, and Tong Linge from the Feng clan, and Fu Zuoyi from the Jin clan (Zhang Hanqing was specially simplified). ) were all appointed as division commanders and first-level generals. At that time, the People's Army was full of talents, including very famous figures from various factions in the military circles of the Republic of China. How could it not be strong?
Sun Lianzhong was a native of Xiong County, Hebei Province. His family was relatively wealthy when he was young, but he was not interested in studying, so he dropped out of school and joined the army, serving as a soldier in Feng Yuxiang's department. Because he was tall, strong, and somewhat educated, he was loved and reused by Feng. By the time Feng Yuxiang launched the Beijing coup in 1923, he was already the commander of Feng's artillery brigade.
After Zhang Hanqing took over, he made great contributions to improving artillery and cultivating a standardized artillery team. He was appointed as the newly established artillery commander of the General Armament Department and was fully responsible for the improvement of artillery and artillery training.
In official history, Liu Ruming was a general during the Republic of China, starting with Feng Yuxiang and ending with Chiang Kai-shek. He was born into a poor family and worked as an apprentice in a pawnshop in Tianjin when he was a teenager. When he was 16 years old, he ran away angrily because he could not bear the mistreatment of the shopkeeper and joined Feng Yuxiang's army as a soldier. When Feng saw that he was small, he said: "You are too small and do not meet the standards." Liu protested: "I am only 16 years old, don't I have grown?"
Feng Yuxiang saw that he was smart and well-behaved, so he took him in and made him his orderly. Unexpectedly, this little orderly was promoted from squad leader to platoon leader for more than ten years. In 1926, he was promoted to division commander and became the 13th Taibao Lieutenant of the Northwest Army. The five tiger generals!
After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, Liu served as commander of the Sixty-eighth Army and fought against the Japanese in Zhangjiakou, Hebei. His troops made great sacrifices. More than a dozen mid-level officers below the brigade commander were killed. Chiang Kai-shek was killed in Wuchang.When he was summoned, in addition to condolences, he was awarded 30,000 silver dollars, and he distributed all the money to the soldiers. As long as such an outstanding officer is under the influence of the People's Party, it will be easy for him to become a qualified political officer.
Sun Liangcheng is a fierce general in Feng Yuxiang's northwest army. In all the civil wars that Feng Yuxiang participated in, Sun's army won many battles, so it is known as the "Iron Army". His ending in the official history was not very good, and he became a traitor for a time, although it is questionable.
However, in this time and space, with the correct leadership of the "Party and Government" and the virtuous young commander, this tiger general can be of great use. In line with the policy of "treating diseases and saving lives" in history, Zhang Hanqing decisively appointed him as the deputy commander of the 7th Army and the commander of the 21st Division. He was transferred to the Wuhan Military Region and prepared to let him lead the attack on the southwest.
As for Fu Zuoyi, let alone talk about it. The famous generals and city defenders who fought against the Japanese in Suiyuan will still be of great use in the future. At that time, people did not know its value, so when Zhang Hanqing directly entrusted him with the important task with the "special purpose of simplicity", Fu Zuoyi burst into tears of gratitude. Currently, he is temporarily serving as the commander of the 72nd Division of the 24th Army at the Garrison Headquarters. Since taking office, he has been very distinctive in training soldiers.
Now is the time when the troops and horses are strong. Zhang Hanqing, with Ji Yiqiao as the commander-in-chief of the front line, began to mobilize various troops and horses to prepare for entering Shu.
The road to Sichuan is difficult, and it is more difficult to reach the sky. Since ancient times, central Sichuan has been famous for its difficult and dangerous roads. Fighting here, the firepower advantage of the People's Army Army will not be reflected (of course compared to China's miscellaneous army, which will be ashamed compared to the configuration of European and American powers), because transportation is difficult.
Furthermore, Qin was strong in Guanzhong, and Liu Bang was in Guanzhong and ruled the world. Even his last descendant, Liu Bei's group, resisted Cao and occupied Wu for decades in one state. The reputation of "the land of abundance" is by no means unearned.
The warlords in central Sichuan have been entrenched here for many years, and they also have many geographical advantages. If troops are sent to Yang Sen, Liu Xiang and others, it is very likely that they will unite to fight against the People's Army. Without him, neither of them can match the strength of the People's Army. In times of common crisis, they are very likely to join forces. It’s not that we’re afraid of not being able to defeat it, but that it’s going to be long-lasting and not a blessing to the country.
In addition, a name is needed. After all, such a big war cannot be fought casually. When the news of the invasion of the Southwest first broke out, there were many voices inside and outside that believed that after years of using force, the people were in dire straits. It was time to recuperate, and it was better to achieve unification through peaceful negotiations rather than force.
The one making the loudest noise is the Kuomintang. After the two largest national armies, Feng Yuxiang and Zhang Zhijiang, were eaten up, the only thing that could restrain the People's Party was its excellent propaganda ability. As the country's situation moves towards a one-sided trend towards factionalism, the Kuomintang feels increasingly powerless. Without military power, they know that once all forces in the southwest collapse, they will be unable to make a comeback.
After the country is completely reunified, under what name will they exist?
It can’t be said that they don’t think much. At least for now, Zhang Hanqing still thinks about the coexistence of multiple parties, and all actions that are conducive to national unity will be supported. The People's Party must truly lead the country, but it will also give various political parties room to survive. But no one dared to appreciate his good wishes!
Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing’s think tanks are all in Beijing, and they have made good suggestions on conquering the southwest.
For example, Yang Yongtai suggested that he might enter Sichuan in the name of pursuing Wu Peifu, which could demonstrate the military justice of the People's Army to the greatest extent. Wu Peifu is the common enemy of the Kuomintang, Anhui clique and Fengcheng clique. If he is not captured, the People's Army will have a reasonable excuse. Of course, Wu Peifu currently has no role. His only role may be to increase the presence of the People's Army.
Jiang Baili proposed from a strategist's perspective that the People's Army would not send troops to Sichuan for the time being, but would wait for the Sichuan Army's civil strife and then clean up the mess, which would achieve twice the result with half the effort.
There is a reason for this. Due to the long-term separatism, the Sichuan Army has formed several factions. The largest warlords are Yang Sen, Deng Xihou, Liu Cunhou, and Liu Xianggu. They are all groups that have benefited from several political changes, and they are all dirty to each other.
Therefore, after the People's Army successfully entered Beijing, in order to balance the situation in Sichuan, Zhang Hanqing adopted the method of "distant diplomacy and close attack". The new government appointed Yang Sen as Sichuan Military Affairs Supervisor, Deng Xihou as Sichuan Governor, Liu Cunhou as Sichuan-Shaanxi Border Defense Supervisor, and Liu Xiang as Sichuan Supervisor. Yunnan Border Defense Supervision.
The purpose is to balance the power in central Sichuan and keep Yang and Liu in a generally balanced state. In this way, the People's Army in the south will have no worries during the Zhifeng War. The situation of Sichuan being divided into four made the always ambitious Yang Sen, Liu Xiang and others think of annexing each other.
After Yang Sen was appointed as the Military Superintendent of Sichuan, he had great power. Regarding Yang Sen's coming from behind, Liu Xiang remained calm on the surface, but secretly contacted Liu Chengxun, Liu Wenhui, Lai Xinhui, etc. to form an anti-Yang alliance of "three Lius and one lai". As a result, the express system split into two systems: Liu Xiang's Old Second Army and Yang Sen's New Second Army.
In order to gain an advantage over Hu in the upcoming civil war, Liu Xiang secretly instigated rebellion against Yang Sen's King Zanxu and other troops. In March, Liu Xiang and others jointly called Duan Qirui's government, requesting that Yang Sen be transferred to Beijing.
Yang Sen decided to launch a war of unification and unify Sichuan by force. This decision was recognized and supported by Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Hanqing and others at the top of the People's Army at that time.
I am not afraid that you will be messy, but I am afraid that you will not be messy. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com).

Chapter 700 Another use of weapons

The impact of the reduction of troops on Sichuan was huge: among the warlords in the provinces, only Sichuan had been fragmented for a long time and had not formed a complete group. All forces are unwilling to suffer losses. When the three provinces of Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan have already carried out troop reductions, unrest has gradually formed in Sichuan.
On April 12 at the beginning of the year, Yang Sen issued an order to attack Lai Xinhui and Liu Chengxun. He divided his troops into five groups and attacked Lai Xinhui, Liu Chengxun, Liu Wenhui, Chen Hongfan, Chen Guodong and other troops. The company won a victory and soon occupied 72 counties. Its army has also expanded to nineteen divisions and twelve mixed brigades (don't worry, these divisions and brigades of his are not the same as the divisions and brigades of the People's Army in terms of combat effectiveness and equipment, and are also much inferior in terms of numbers). ).
The defeated Lai Xinhui, Liu Chengxun, Liu Wenhui and other troops retreated to Chongqing. Relying on Liu Xiang, they combined with Deng Xihou and the Guizhou army Yuan Zuming to form the Sichuan-Guizhou coalition to defeat Yang. So Sichuan was divided into two, with Yang Sen's group in Xichuan headed by Chengdu, and Liu Xiang in Dongchuan based in Chongqing. This was another split of Sichuan.
Originally, this war had nothing to do with Yuan Zuming, but under the instigation of Liu Xiang and others, he wanted to get a share of the pie after the war. In order to "show sincerity", everyone publicly recommended Yuan Zuming as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Deng Xihou as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and Liu Xiang only as the commander-in-chief of logistics, manipulating the situation behind the scenes.
In mid-July, the two armies fought fiercely in the Yongchuan, Dazu, and Rongchang areas. At first, Yang Sen won. Later, he was eager to find the main force of the coalition forces for a decisive battle. Due to his carelessness, Wang Zhaokui's division was defeated by Deng Xihou's troops. After the coalition launched an offensive across the board, Yang Sen was forced to retreat to the right bank of the Tuojiang River.
At this time, Yang Sen received a letter from his old friend Yang Jie.
Speaking of which, Yang Jie is not only not Yang Sen’s old friend, but also a thorn in his heart. When Cai E organized the National Defense Campaign against Yuan in Yunnan, Yang Jie was the chief of staff of Huang Yucheng of the 4th Army, and he reorganized this motley army that was originally loosely disciplined and disorganized into a powerful force. At this time, Yang Sen served as the staff officer of the lieutenant colonel.
???????????????????? For some reason, Yang Jie didn’t like this member of the family, thinking that he had “a traitor in his head”, just like the story of Wei Yan in the Three Kingdoms. However, Yang Sen was favored by Huang Yucheng at the time, and Yang Jie had no choice but to find an opportunity to repair him. It happened that Yang Sen was fond of smoking cigarettes at that time, so Yang Jie sent someone to catch him and not only beat him severely, but also took him out to show him to the public. Suffering from this humiliation, Yang Sen actually quit smoking!
What did Yang Jie, the old superior, benefactor and enemy, say? But he was persuaded to defect to the People's Army, and even if it didn't work, he would be facilitated when the People's Army entered Sichuan soon. "Then the first achievement of Sichuan is attributed to the general."
Yang Jie was already the president of the newly established National Defense University at this time, and he could be regarded as a rising star in the People's Army. No matter what the previous turmoil was, Yang Sen had to put it aside, not to mention the olive branch that Yang Jie extended first.
The person who made Yang Sen make the final decision to submit to the central government was Wu Peifu, who was living in Sichuan.
After the Zhili-Fengtian War, Wu Peifu took the Jinpu Line southward, and then went north along the Yangtze River. He traveled unimpeded along the way and continuously passed through many passes of the People's Army. Wu Peifu's escape route is nothing short of legendary.
"But Wu Peifu is a hero after all. He does not think that he has the ability to escape from death. From the fact that the people's army in various places has no intention to stop him, it seems that he wants to give himself a dignified exit.
“Otherwise, in Wuhan, the home base of the Central China People’s Army, even if he had great abilities, he would not have been able to get away with it, because Wang Yizhe, the then director of the General Political Department of the People’s Army, also sent someone to hand over 10,000 yuan to him by boat. If you want to catch him, it only takes a minute.
After a year of analysis and observation, this big man who was both a great benefactor and a downfall to the rise of Yang Sen came to a conclusion: Fengxian has the right time, place, right people, and has become a powerful force, and it is meaningless to continue to resist. He persuaded Yang Sen to take this opportunity to contact the People's Army and seize half of the credit for Dingchuan, so that he would have a bright future in the military field in the future.
It is destined that he will no longer be able to become a hero in the unification of the Republic of China, and he will not allow himself to become a moth that drags down the country. This is still true. Giving Yang Sen a clear path was also a way of thanking him for his generous accommodation when he was in poverty. In addition, this is Wu Peifu's repayment of Zhang Hanqing.
Yang Sen is a very high-spirited person. He also recognized Wu Peifu's words and arranged for someone to contact Ji Yiqiao, the commander of the Central China Command of the People's Army and the commander-in-chief of the enemy before entering Sichuan, saying that as soon as the People's Army entered Sichuan, the defense lines in northern and eastern Sichuan would be released.
But he still wanted to take a gamble. If he could defeat Liu Xiang, regain the lost territory, and then hand it over to the People's Army, he would have a place after the war. In his view, once the People's Army officially intervenes, all factions in central Sichuan will not be opponents. This is determined by strength.
Just as Yang Sen was mobilizing his troops to prepare for a counterattack, Liu Xiang had already bribed himWang Zuanxu, commander of Yang Sen's main division, betrayed Yang Sen and defected to Liu Xiang. He called for a truce, which shocked Yang's army across the board. By August 4, the coalition forces forcibly crossed the Tuojiang River and advanced across the board. Yang's army was defeated and fled to Leshan.
Then on August 10, the coalition forces captured Chengdu, and the Sichuan army was expected to be unified again. Liu Xiang was confident that he would be his king of Shu.
The Dong and Xichuan armies are quite large in number, and they have a convenient location and a navy blocking the river. If the People's Army comes from afar and cannot attack for a long time, they may still have to restart peace talks with him. It is not easy to snatch food from the hands of the People's Party, but since the Republic of China, the central government has not effectively governed Sichuan, and this will not be the case in the future. The only one who can securely sit here is Liu Xiang.
It’s not that he is boasting. He is not like ordinary warlords who only focus on expanding the army and gaining territory without caring about the people’s livelihood. He still has a few capable civil and political officials. Sichuan was able to kill all sides in the volatile Republic of China era without fear of being destroyed. We cannot do without these backbones.
For example, Liu Hangchen, the director of the Financial Department of the Sichuan Rehabilitation Supervisory Office, is a top student at Peking University and is very helpful in helping Liu Xiang manage his finances; Pan Wenhua, the mayor of Chongqing, although he started his career by growing opium, he is very good at managing cities and developing the economy. He is one of the most important figures in the history of Chinese industry. and the founder of modern urban development.
With money and military power, Liu Xiang couldn't do anything big even if he didn't want to.
However, the excitement of Liu Xiang and others has not yet begun. The People's Army, which has been spying for a long time, has divided its troops from the north, the east and the Yangtze River to attack directly. All units have already entered preparation areas as planned, and logistics have been fully prepared.
In response to the reality that Sichuan is mountainous and has inconvenient transportation, the General Armament Department of the People's Army has already equipped more than a dozen mountain artillery regiments to various armies through military reforms. , Yunnan, Guizhou armies and even the coalition forces.
Under the unified deployment of Commander-in-Chief Ji Yiqiao of Sichuan, Sun Liangcheng of the 21st Division of the Central China Military Region was the leader in the north, and together with the 5th Army of the Northwest Military Region Chang Jingwu, a total of about 40,000 people left Hanzhong, attacked Guangyuan, entered Jiange, and captured Mianyang, threatening the north of Chengdu. This road is the fastest because Yang Sen has already ordered the local garrison to open the road;
They are suspected soldiers all the way, passing through Langzhong and Nanchong, or heading west to Suining, threatening the right wing of Chengdu, or east to Guang'an, threatening the north side of Chongqing.
The eastern front is mainly attacked by the troops of the Wuhan Military Region, with Shanxi general Shang Zhen leading the New 18th Army as the main force and Song Zheyuan's 21st Army as the backup; all the way enters northeastern Guizhou from Zhijiang, Hunan, and all the way west from Enshi, Hubei to Yuzhong, cutting off southeastern Sichuan.
The most outstanding thing is that the navy was used in this battle, and the Yangtze River Fleet was ordered to sail up the river.
With the unique conditions of Wuhan Shipyard on its side, it produced a total of 30 "Hankou" class gunboats in one year, which were transferred to three fleets. Among them, the Yangtze River Fleet has the most number of such gunboats suitable for inland navigation, 20, because it has so many shallow-water tributaries and has the task of liberating the southwest.
They are divided into three formations with three "Jiujiang" class destroyers as flagships, becoming the movable turrets and the most deterrent force in the eyes of the southwestern warlords.
Because of their shallow draft, they can easily reach the river near Chongqing even during the dry season. Compared with infantry, artillery and cavalry and other land troops who are limited by transportation, these water forces appear quite threatening with their suddenness and powerful artillery.
The elusive Yangtze River Fleet stole the show in the battle to attack Chongqing. The Sichuan army, which lacked heavy artillery, had no way to deal with these iron lumps flying in the center of the river. Liu Xiang's army tried their best to avoid the range of the naval guns.
Doesn’t the Sichuan Army have a navy? You must know that Liu Xiang's navy previously modified ordinary small river ships, installed iron plates for armor, and installed two small cannons as naval guns. They often trained and cruised in the Yangtze River. There are as many as eight such ironclad ships equipped.
“ Although these nondescript “warships” may look innocent, they have had a great impact on the lives of local fishermen. They were not afraid of being hit, but they were afraid of damaging the warships. They were even afraid of sinking them in the waves caused by sailing. Therefore, a local folk song goes like this: "If a small fishing boat along the river capsizes a warship, you will have to pay compensation. It cost 55,000 yuan to buy the boat and 33,000 yuan to buy the cannon."
For the nascent People's Army Navy, attacking such a so-called "navy" is the most beneficial: two small cannons can scare the people, but it is not enough to actually fight warships, and you will not worry about yourself when fighting them. If you suffer a loss, you can still use the opponent as a good target for shooting practice. Why not?
The two sides only experienced one artillery battle. Liu Xiang lost three "armored ships" in the artillery fire. One of them was overturned by the air waves set off by the artillery shells. After that, the "navy" in central Sichuan basically had to avoid the Yangtze River. The fleet is gone.
With the warships rampaging on the water, transport ships full of Marines could safely arrive at various battlefields. The main battalion of the 1st Marine Brigade captured Fuling on August 25 and headed directly for Liu Xiang's hometown, Chongqing.
Almost at the same moment, the Guangzhou Military Region also followed the order, with the main force of Qiao Fang's 9th Army as the forerunner and Yu Zhaolin's 11th Army as the rear. As backup from Hunan to Guizhou. Fu Zuoyi's 72nd Division, which was historically good at defense, was transferred to Guangxi and faced off with the troops of the new Guangxi faction in Wuzhou. Together with the navy, the People's Army attacked Sichuan and Guizhou with a total of about 200,000 troops. Strategically, it was an encirclement.
Jiang Baili, Han Lunchun, and Zhang Hanqing jointly decided on the strategy of using troops in the southwest: the right route crossed the Qinling Mountains to occupy Chengdu; the middle route passed through Yichang, passed through the Three Gorges, entered Kuimen, and occupied Chongqing; the left route passed through Guangxi, headed toward Duyun, and entered Guiyang.
It is necessary to occupy all important cities in the southwest in one fell swoop and complete the de facto unification of the country.

Chapter 701 Surrender
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
It is not a good idea to attack and kill them head-on, especially the Gui Clan, which has a convenient location and works together. I think that the Vietnamese Monkeys, who had a long history with Guangxi, relied on their advantageous geographical location to defeat France and drain the United States with extremely weak military power.
The People's Army has long adopted a policy of dividing and transforming its troops in the four southwestern provinces. For the Guangxi and Guangxi cliques, the central government is planning to recruit them to surrender.
The rise of the new Guangxi clique has only begun in recent years: in the tenth year of the Republic of China, Sun Yixian ordered the Guangdong army Chen Jiongming's troops to attack Guangxi, and the old Guangxi clique was on the verge of collapse. The battalion commanders Li Zongren (De Lin), Bai Chongxi (Jian Sheng), and Huang Shaohong (Ji Kuan), together with the company commanders, relied on their judgment and response to the current situation and took advantage of the opportunity to become the leaders of Guangxi's military and political power in a few years. The important officials immediately benefited from the melee between Lu Rongting and Shen Hongying of the old Feng faction. First, Lu Rongting was defeated, and then Shen Hongying was defeated.
??Subsequently, Li Zongren responded to Sun Yat-sen's call and joined the Guangdong National Government after the reunification of Guangxi. However, when Sun Yixian was turned against Chen Jiongming and driven out of Guangdong by the People's Army, Li Zongren took the elimination of Shen's tribe as his biggest goal and wanted to use this as a basis to occupy Guangxi. He would make plans after the situation changed.
As an important senior military and political general in modern Chinese history, Li Zongren had a turbulent life. First, he served in the old department of Lu Rongting, and participated in the war against the dragon (Jiguang) to protect the Dharma in his early years. In the ninth year of the Republic of China, when the remnants of the old Guangxi clique were fighting fiercely with the Guangdong army, the then battalion commander Li Zongren refused to go to Guangdong to accept recruitment, so he led his troops into the 60,000 Mountains.
But because of the lack of wages, he sold his guns in exchange for wages (in Bai Chongxi's account, he sold the guns to buy clothes), which became a good story and was praised by everyone. This was in sharp contrast to the old-style warlords. Li Zongren won a rare reputation in the early days, which helped him win over people's hearts as he opened up his own power.
Li Delin respected Confucius and Mencius, believed in Confucianism, and attached great importance to benevolence and righteousness. And he has a big heart. This is obviously different from Chiang who likes to play tricks and tricks, and this has become a grudge between the two in official history. In the early days of his early career, he extended a helping hand to Huang Jikuan who was in poverty and difficulties, and did not care about Huang Jikuan's poaching and taking away his two main players (Yu Zuobai and Wu Tingyang).
Li Zongren also showed a rare calmness when the unruly Yu Zuobai attacked Ma Junwu (then governor) and actually killed Ma's concubine. Li Zongren often said: "The failure of Hong Yang was not due to Zeng Zuo. Hong Yang's internal strife destroyed his career."
Being able to turn the talented and domineering Huang Shaohong, and the resourceful and resourceful Bai Chongxi and Huang Xuchu into his own subordinates, without the decisive talent and magnanimity of killing and killing, he would definitely not be able to sit at the top of the Guangxi clan. Bai Chongxi and Huang Shaohong were both subordinates of the Ma Xiaojun Model Battalion. Later, they moved to Li Zongren and jointly organized the "Dinggui Fighting Bandits Army". Li served as commander-in-chief, Huang as deputy commander-in-chief, and Bai served as chief of staff.
The position of staff officer shows Bai Chongxi’s identity as an elite and military strategist. In the famous Battle of Longtan in official history, Bai Chongxi’s army fought hard and defeated Sun Chuanfang in one fell swoop. Tan Yankai, then the head of the National Government, once wrote a couplet to Bai Chongxi: "If the commander is determined and can really do it, children who learn to speak will know their names." For a time, it was praised all over the world.
That is to say, with the joint help of Bai Chongxi and others known as "Little Zhuge", Li Zongren finally eliminated Shen Hongying's power, Guilin recovered and unified Guangxi. So much so that Shen Hongying lamented: "I, Shen Hongying, have led tens of thousands of troops across Guangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, and Jiangxi for more than ten years. No one has done anything to me. Unexpectedly, I was defeated today at the hands of a few boys who were former platoon leaders!"
After the Guangxi forces represented by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi controlled the entire territory of Guangxi, they repelled the Tang Jiyao tribe of the Yunnan Army who attempted to enter Guangxi. For a time, Guangxi's prestige was greatly shaken, and its voice in the four southwestern provinces also became unprecedentedly large. If the central government can successfully persuade the Guangxi clique to surrender, it will have a great impact on the other three cliques.
But from sitting on the prominent position of a prince to the possibility of handing over a gun and being slaughtered by others, are they willing? Considering that these buddies are not willing to be inferior to others and have quite a few skills, I am afraid that there will be a fight between the two sides.
Bai Chongxi, who has a "little Zhuge" background, is by no means in vain. He performed outstandingly during the governance of Guangxi in the 1930s and during the Anti-Japanese War in history. At that time, when the country was in chaos and dilapidation, Guangxi had become a model province! Litton, head of the League of Nations' Far East Investigation Team, praised: "If two provinces in China had done this, Japan would not have dared to invade Manchuria."
Dr. Attenborough, the German Consul General in Guangdong, came to Guangxi to inspect business and praised: "What I saw along the way from Wu to Qi was that Guangxi was in good order and various construction projects had made significant progress."
Japanese reporter Wada Ji sighed: "Guangxi has rugged terrain, a powerful army, famous generals, and the spirit of Greater Guangxiism. Whoever wants to ravage it willI dare say it is all in vain. "
Hu Shi, dean of the School of Liberal Arts at National Peking University, commented: “The first good impression that Guangxi gave me was that there was no superstitious and reactionary atmosphere of loving the past; the second good impression that Guangxi gave me was the frugal atmosphere. Entering Guangxi, everything is so-called "grey cloth"; the third good impression that Guangxi gave me is public security. There are only 17 regiments of soldiers in Guangxi, and there are 20,000 officers and soldiers in the company, which can be regarded as a reduction of troops. , but there are no bandits in the province, and the people can enjoy the happiness of law and order."
And although Bai Chongxi was domineering and resolute, he was able to lead by example. He advocates the spirit of honesty and hard work. He usually wears a coarse gray military uniform with a belt around his waist, a gray cloth military cap, blue cloth shoes, and his feet are bound like a soldier's herringbone. It was only because he wore a pair of rimless myopia glasses that he looked like a staff officer, otherwise he would have been a complete Gui Army soldier.
He works more than ten hours a day and never gets tired. Not only do they dress plainly, but they also eat very simple meals. They do not entertain guests or distinguished guests, and there are no banquets. If his name had not been mentioned first and just read the historical introduction, many people would probably think of the Communist Party cadres of that era.
He is an excellent soldier. It is said that during the peace talks, even Mao Zedong once commented: "Bai Chongxi, Xiao Zhuge, if you like to lead troops, let him be the Minister of Defense in the future. If you like to lead troops, let him lead two hundred thousand." ”
At that time, Bai Chongxi was not as famous as he would later be, but this did not affect Zhang Hanqing's appreciation of him. Because of the psychological effect, I dare not look for the top ten handsome men and the top ten generals who later made great contributions to the construction of New China. It is of course the best choice to find some characters who are on par with them.
Therefore, Zhang Hanqing sent someone to deliver an autographed letter to Bai Chongxi: "De Lin, Jiansheng, and Ji Kuan met as soon as we met. At a time when China's unification is irreversible, you and others are all outstanding figures of the Republic of China. If you can use your precious talents to The advancement of national governance and national defense is a blessing to the country and the people. However, if you go against the trend of history and resist the people's army to the end, you will definitely become a sinner of history.
Now that the country's economic construction is booming, its military strength is also booming. If you want to pool your wisdom and work together for the overall situation, please send one or two capable people to Wuhan to meet face-to-face. "
When the People's Army enters Guangxi to attack Guizhou, will the Guangxi Army unite with the Sichuan Army and the Guizhou Army to resist the Central Army, or will it sit back and watch the success or failure? Once the Sichuan and Guizhou armies are defeated, will it be their turn next? How to make a decision then? Surrender? There is a saying that you would rather be a chicken head than a cow queen; do you resist? Blocking the torrent of historical development will be punished by God. It is one thing to waste people and money, but it is not good to lose one's reputation.
For this reason, the three giants Li, Bai, and Huang fell into deep thought.
When the top leaders of the Guangxi clique were in a dilemma, Tang Jiyao, known as one of the "Three Heroes of Protecting the Country," was also restless. He made outstanding achievements in the Revolution of 1911 and the War to Protect the Country. However, he was involved in warlord melee in the later period, so the elegiac couplet inscribed by later generations is: "There is no good governance in Yunnan, but there are extraordinary achievements in protecting the country." This man has been the governor of Yunnan since 1913 and has been in charge of Yunnan for 11 years.
Cai E used troops from Yunnan Province to defeat the Beiyang Army. Although there were reasons for his proper military strategy, Tang Jiyao's contribution to stabilizing the overall situation cannot be ignored. At that time, the Yunnan Army was truly invincible - at least within the Beiyang system, it was recognized as having strong combat effectiveness.
How could he not understand Zhang Hanqing? Before Cai Elin went to Japan, he had talked with him about this young man, calling him a dragon or a phoenix among men. At first, he thought he was exaggerating.
Almost in the blink of an eye, this young man shines so brightly that the people of the country cannot look directly at him. Even if they are sitting on the border like him, they cannot help but hear about it. At that time, he felt that there was still little overlap between the two sides, and the struggle between the Zhi, Anhui, and Feng families in the north had little impact on the southwest.
However, the People's Army grew almost exponentially, and the territory it controlled was approaching him and began to exert influence on the surrounding areas. At that time, he felt the pressure but still had some luck: the harsh terrain of the Sichuan Road, the Guangxi-Guizhou If the various departments in Sichuan block the way, it will be a high probability event to survive.
He really never thought about using force alone to fight against the unification cause of the People's Army. Time has passed and the Yunnan Army has lost its former glory, and Zhang Hanqing is not the original Ameng under Wu. Of course he will not do anything that goes against the trend of history.
The people's army encircled northern, eastern and southeastern Sichuan with overwhelming force. Seeing that the Sichuan army was retreating steadily, the three Liu Dynasties were unable to recover. Even the governor of Guizhou, Yuan Zuming, must be unable to protect himself—how dare he fight against the powerful Central Army with only those few guns? He did not even look at the combat effectiveness of these rifles and opium guns in the hands of the Guizhou Army, which were nicknamed "two guns" by the outside world. He also knew that he alone was no match for the People's Army.
The People's Army has political legitimacy. If it wants to fight against it, once the central government declares itself a rebel, the good reputation it has worked so hard to gain in the first half of its life will be ruined. While he was contacting the Gui clique, which was good at fighting, he frequently sent emissaries to see how the central government would treat his clique after the war.
If the negotiations are on schedule and the results are acceptable, then he will go with the trend and still win the jackpot; if all parties are tough and the People's Army's entry into Sichuan is frustrated, he will also take advantage of the trend and bargain. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com), to see how the central government will treat itself after the war.

Chapter 704: Military training
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
??After the Zhongwei adaptation, the 1922 adaptation, and the 1924 adaptation, the three adaptations allowed the People's Army to enter the process of regularization.
"The several adaptations in China's official history, especially after the victory of the Northern Expedition, basically revolved around the purpose of the Chiang Kai-shek National Army to strengthen itself and eliminate dissidents, rather than truly working to increase the army's combat effectiveness.
Historically, when the all-out war of resistance began in the summer of 1937, the Nationalist Government nominally reorganized the Central Army and the Sichuan Army, the Yunnan Army, the Guangxi Army, the Guangdong Army, the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army and other national armies into a total of 178 divisions (including 3 divisions of the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party). The total combat strength is more than 2 million, which is equivalent to three times that of the Japanese invaders. The individual performance of some weapons is not bad.
"However, although the Kuomintang Central Army, which accounts for one-third of the total army, has more artillery and the most sophisticated firearms, its infantry and artillery coordination is very poor, and there is no tactical coordination between the ground forces and the air force. Most of China's miscellaneous armies do not have much access to heavy weapons and mainly rely on infantry weapons to fight.
The consistent style of Chiang Kai-shek's Central Military System was to use civil war and foreign war to eliminate dissidents. During the battle, he deliberately placed miscellaneous troops in dangerous areas and rarely replenished their losses.
These miscellaneous troops also tried their best to avoid fighting and protect themselves. Some unscrupulous generals surrendered and became puppet troops when they saw that the situation was not good. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Kuomintang had more than 600,000 troops that surrendered to the Japanese army and were organized into puppet troops. Among them were 58 general-level officers (the army led by the Communist Party) did not have a single company or battalion to surrender during the War of Resistance. ).
During China’s Anti-Japanese War, the shameful phenomenon of “traitors” who “demoted officials like hair” and “dropped troops like waves” cannot be avoided by those who review the history of the Anti-Japanese War. Analyzing the reasons cannot be explained simply by weapon factors.
"Zhang Hanqing has no suspicion of the so-called Central Army or the local army in his heart. If he has, it was before the official unification. Now, all the armies are unified under the control of the Central Military Commission, so the orthodox and unorthodox views have been eliminated. He even paid special attention to the differences between the old people's army factions.
In his view, all armies are national defense forces under the leadership of the People's Party | All talented people can give full play to their talents under the coordination of the United Front Work Department of the People's Party. Only then will the country have centripetal force and cohesion, and the people will have patriotism and a sense of national responsibility. , the country will be truly strong. It will not be as summarized by Okamura Neiji, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese invaders: When the Japanese army fought against the Kuomintang Central Army, one regiment (regiment) was enough to defeat a division, and only one brigade was needed to defeat a division of the miscellaneous army!
The history of China’s Anti-Japanese War and other wars have proven that the key to whether the military weapons are rationally deployed before and during the war is whether it meets the needs of national conditions and military conditions. This in turn reflects the strategic guidance level of the war commander. Weapons are an important factor in war, but what ultimately plays a decisive role in war is the quality of the weapon operators. The quality of the combatants who control weapons plays a decisive role in combat.
Historically, most of the Kuomintang's armies (except for a few units such as the India-Burma Expeditionary Force) have had low combat capabilities. From a military perspective, in addition to the poor systematicity and poor standardization of weapons, the key lies in the rotten and dim-witted leadership of the organization and the quality of the weapon operators. low.
The Kuomintang army mainly relied on personal relationships rather than military knowledge to promote officers, and recruitment mainly relied on recruiting strong men. The Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan armies were mostly "double-gun soldiers" who smoked heavily and never left their hands. Their mental outlook and military quality were both You can tell it's bad without asking.
China’s characteristics of large population and financial difficulties have given those in power a traditional mentality of cherishing purchased weapons and despising human life. In addition, soldiers often desert, so they are reluctant to waste ammunition to train them.
One thing that foreigners visiting China found very strange at that time was that the soldiers of the "National Army" had advanced German and American guns, but they wore straw sandals barefoot and did not even have a pair of extremely cheap rubber shoes to protect their feet. A force with such unloved, poorly trained, and illiterate soldiers would certainly not be very effective with their weapons.
In contrast, the Japanese army at that time had strong combat organization capabilities except for its officers, and its soldiers were influenced by "Bushido" and rigorously trained. Before the infantry went into battle, they had to spend at least hundreds of rounds of target shooting under various conditions. According to the memories of some Anti-Japanese War veterans, many Japanese soldiers raised their guns and fired while riding in vehicles, and they were still able to hit humanoid targets within 100 meters with relative accuracy. Their operation and maintenance level of technical weapons was far superior to that of the Kuomintang army.
Although Japan was the aggressor at that time, as Mao Zedong said in "On Protracted War", the Japanese army's clever tactics are still worth learning. It is absolutely beneficial and harmless to despise it strategically and pay attention to it tactically.
Through a comprehensive and objective analysis and review of the weapons comparison between China and Japan during the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Hanqing strongly felt that: backward weapons does not meanSeptember, and will strictly restrict non-military students from entering this position in the future, so that the ability of the command system can keep up with the development of the world's military;
Lower-level officers must gradually achieve the goal of keeping the illiteracy rate below 10%.
In this way, by improving the quality of officers, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be enhanced.
“ However, when using weapons for confrontation in modern warfare, in addition to individual performance comparisons, the weapon configuration also needs to be optimized according to combat requirements.
As an industrial country that dominates the world with its strong organizational power, Japan has followed the requirements of the development of modern warfare in the world before the war of aggression against China in its official history, and configured its military equipment. Between the army and the navy but no independent air force) and the ground forces and ships, and between the army and the infantry, artillery, cavalry and armored forces, the use of weapons can be organically combined, and there will be better firepower coordination during wartime.
The structure of China's modern warlord forces is backward. The important manifestation is that most of them are single infantry, a small number of artillery, mechanized troops and air force are poorly planned, and they lack awareness and training of collaborative operations. Such large and disorganized troops will often be defeated by a small but capable and orderly enemy. This is also the current weakness of the People's Army.
It takes time to integrate all resources. The question is, will the Japanese give China enough time to complete this task? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 705 Separation of Three Powers
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
On the occasion of the National Day in 1924, 32 regions in mainland China were completely unified except for Taiwan, which was still under Japanese occupation, Hainan had not yet been established as a province, and Chongqing had not yet been separated from Sichuan.
At this time, the one-year Duan Qirui administration has completed its historical mission and can step down with dignity. In other words, a more appropriate statement is that the Feng system no longer needs him.
The political model for establishing a new Republic of China slowly came to an end in the debate, and a clear framework emerged in front of the world.
Since the Feng Clan has absolute control over the military, and the territory under its consistent control accounts for more than 80% of China, when it comes to the major events of the founding of the New Republic of China, everyone focuses on the framework proposed by the Feng Clan, rather than Another stove was built, and the Kuomintang did the same.
“Since mainland China no longer has the power to restrain Zhang Zuolin, the governing identity of president and prime minister no longer meets the requirements of democracy. As chairman of the State Planning Commission, Zhang Hanqing actively designed a political structure that suited China's national conditions, and for the first time in China truly completed a political model that separated the legislative, judicial, and administrative powers of the country.
The most important and most eye-catching thing is to restore the Congress: since Cao Kun bribed the election, in addition to the state of war, most of the country has been under military control by the Fengjun and the People's Army for more than a year. After the People's Party has made outstanding contributions in safeguarding national unity and sovereign integrity, leading the workers' movement, rural land reform, women's liberation and building a united front, it has been recognized by the people of the country not only legally but also psychologically.
At this time, it has become feasible to restructure the organizational form of state power.
Administratively, Zhang Hanqing is planning to separate Chongqing from Sichuan Province to solve the situation where one province in central Sichuan dominates; and separate Hainan, which cannot be effectively managed due to inconvenient transportation, from Guangdong Province.
In this way, according to the "Provisional Congress Organization Law" drafted by Zhang Hanqing and others, the country's highest authority is the new Congress under the leadership of the Chinese People's Party, which is divided into the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The Senate consists of 28 provinces currently directly controlled by the central government, as well as the four provinces of Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan that have just been acquired from warlords of all parties, and the two provinces of Bashan and Hainan that have just been planned to be established. In addition, they have always been independent of the central government in official history. Tibet and Japanese-occupied Taiwan were composed of a total of 36 provinces.
Regardless of the size of the province, each province is stipulated to have 3 quotas. Any newly allocated provinces will automatically receive quotas after joining.
In order to maximize the advantage of the People's Party, according to Zhang Hanqing's request, the Senate added 5 seats for retired military generals, 5 seats for independent appointment by the People's Party, and 5 seats for retired government heads, all of which have the same effect.
This point is quite dissatisfying to everyone, but Zhang Hanqing has no intention of doing this at all. He proposed this motion just to bargain with everyone to achieve another goal.
Sure enough, under the joint attack of the opposition faction, Zhang Hanqing made a compromise and canceled the seats independently appointed by the People's Party. In exchange, as a highly respected marshal and general in the army, he must be qualified to obtain the same status as a senator. In order not to waste their valuable governance experience, retired Standing Committee members who have a deep understanding of national affairs need to follow the same example
This is laying the groundwork, because Zhang Hanqing has agreed with Zhang Zuolin that after the political work is completed, the evaluation of military ranks will be carried out. Several marshals will be natural votes for the Senate in the future, because the assessment of military ranks is the military's own business. So I hired a few marshals to obey political needs as a last resort. Of course, the situation is not that bad. I just left a foreshadowing
The House of Representatives consists of 36 provinces (Taiwan has only nominal seats due to the Japanese occupation). It changes with the number of provinces. It is initially set at one seat for every 1 million people. In addition to two parts: representatives of ministries directly under the central government and representatives of the People's Army, the House of Representatives plan In 1925, 482 members were established.
It stipulates that the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall also serve as the President of Congress, and all members shall enjoy judicial immunity during their term of office. Major events (such as amending the constitution, etc.) must be approved by a 2/3 majority in each house of the Senate and House of Representatives; in the formulation and amendment of ordinary laws, they must be approved by more than half of the two houses before being signed by the president of the country to take effect.
Congress is the highest power organ of the Republic of China. The responsibilities of the House of Representatives and the Senate are respectively: to review and amend the Constitution; vote on major bills; vote of confidence in the government; review and vote on annual government reports and budgets; and conclude treaties with foreign countries. Approval, declaration of war, etc.
The Senate and the House of Representatives each set up eight committees, namely: Constitution Committee, Law Committee, Military Affairs Committee, Foreign Affairs Committee, Economic and Trade Committee, Education, Science, Culture and Health Committee, Judiciary Committee, and Ethnic Affairs Committee. Each committee, more than 1/5 of the members, political participation groups, and the presidents of both houses can independently propose bills.
But the two houses alsoSooner or later, without military and administrative power, the Kuomintang will become a second-rate or even inferior party, and the cause he has worked so hard for will eventually disappear.
Although nominally both the People's Party and the People's Party are believers in San Pan Zhu Yi, the leaders also have selfish motives.
Of course, Zhang Hanqing allows Sun Yat-sen to become the best candidate for vice president of the country. If he is willing, he will be prepared to let him serve as the chairman of the National Assembly. This is the lowest arrangement. However, given his condition, the heavy workload of Congress may not be suitable for him.
"The Central Committee of the Kuomintang did not appreciate this. Sun Yat-sen even sent Liao Zhongkai to show to the outside world that he was still willing to be the general manager of the China Railway. This was a bit of a pity. When the intermediary explained the Kuomintang's requirements to Zhang Hanqing, he burst into laughter and wrote a poem called "Seven Rules" for the other party:
"Drinking tea without looking at the Guangdong Sea, I can only say that the leaves in Chongqing are turning yellow.
Thirteen years later, I returned to my old country and read the beautiful chapter when the flowers are falling.
Too much complaining can prevent heartbreak. It is advisable to take a broad view of things.

"Thank you, Han Qing." Sheng Aiyi let out a long sigh of relief. Moved by love, she didn't even call him Marshal, and he didn't care.
The affair that happened in the Sheng family a few days ago actually spread widely among the big families in Shanghai. Many people privately believed that Song Ziwen's behavior was completely trapped by love and out of proportion in a moment of urgency. They even took the risk to do this to him. "Very surprised. After all, he was just a brother of a nouveau riche family. He had no experience and didn't know the power of it: in ancient times, it would have been a serious crime to kill everyone in the family!
The Song family became famous because of Sun Yat-sen, and will surely weaken due to Sun Yat-sen's departure. They are not a nouveau riche.
As for the People’s Party’s insistence that British concession forces were involved and the assassins escaped into the concession, after the initial outrage, some people have gradually come around.
??Would the British be so stupid as to send a three-legged assassin like this to assassinate the party leader of a big country? He was even chased to the concession! She must be covering up for Song Meiling out of consideration for her face.
As expected, after Song Ziwen was taken away, everyone in Shanghai thought like this: Can’t you keep it anymore?
But no one is stupid enough to question it, or even tell lies with open eyes. There is national justice here, but the Chinese government is fighting a war of words with the British over this. What they earn is nothing more than the rights to deal with the aftermath of the May 30th Incident! For the Chinese people who are awakening, no big thing is as important as winning this foreign-related struggle together with the country!
Therefore, it is normal for Song Ziwen to be despised by the collective, because whether it is from the perspective of national justice or personal morality, what he did was not honest. However, the culprit was most likely directed at the seventh young lady of the Sheng family.
Beauty is a curse It has been the case since ancient times. In this case, a few relatively old-fashioned elders specially summoned the young people in the clan to teach them. Sheng Aiyi suffered a terrible disaster, but she could only endure it. Who told her to be too famous? In terms of emotions, reasons and customs, it is better for her to show up than not to show up. Otherwise, she would be drowned in saliva just by being ruthless and righteous.
“And she still has another concern, and that is the relationship between Zhang Hanqing and Song Meiling. If there was something about Song Ziwen in the middle, there would be a layer of worry between the two sisters when they met - they often went in and out of Zhang Hanqing's mansion, and they never looked up to see each other.
So no matter what, she had to lobby for Song Ziwen. However, Zhang Hanqing did not expect that Zhang Hanqing would agree so simply when faced with his "killing" enemy.
"Hey, do we need to be so clear-cut between you and me?" Zhang Hanqing approached her, looked directly into her eyes, and smiled broadly.
Girls raised by big families are just different. Even if she is emotional or has many worries, the stability exuding from within cannot be imitated by the nouveau riche. Of course, when the strong wind blows, the gentle, dignified and generous demeanor will inevitably impress people.
"You are a young marshal who is famous all over the world. Life and death are all decided by you. I am just a little girl in Shanghai. If I don't know the difference, others will say that I don't know how to advance or retreat." Sheng Aiyi is a typical example of retreating in order to advance, or To put it bluntly, it was provocative, because she said "I don't know how to advance or retreat", but she didn't look like I didn't know how to advance or retreat at all.
"Don't tell me, some people still like this, at least Zhang Hanqing was a little interested when he looked at her.
Her smile is so charming, it is the kind of reserved and moderate that only girls from the upper class can have.
Although the backgrounds and experiences of the members of my harem are very different, they have one thing in common, that is, although they are either rich or noble, their foundations are very shallow.
Yu Fengzhi, Huang Wanqing, and Yu Yifan have just entered the threshold of the second generation of rich people, and they have not yet developed the aristocratic background; Gu Ruiyu has a shallower foundation, not only cannot be said to be a lady, but even a little wild; Liang Qingzhu has this Her potential is limited by her weak character, and she inherently lacks power.
"Compared with the two sisters in Shanghai, their advantages are obvious and their disadvantages are also very clear: in the social arena, they are like a fish in water, and they are the existence that is admired by all the stars; on the man's stage, they also have a lot of fun.
Especially Song Meiling, after getting close, it was obvious that she had a desire for power, although she restrained it very well. As for Sheng Aiyi, although she does not have that kind of desire for power, her desire to revitalize the Sheng family and restore and stabilize the glory of the family's huge business empire is very clear.
But just because of this, Zhang Hanqing has a novel attraction to them. There is a kind of beauty in being free from desire and contention, and there is also a different kind of beauty in being able to achieve a career on a man's shoulders - isn't it a pleasure to conquer an ambitious and capable woman?
So men are mean sometimes.
The relationship between them is unclear. Let's talk about being close, except for the last time I kissed her while eating in Sheng Mansion.Responsibility and her own heart drove her to cater to his demands.
"You can't be his wife, but you can be his woman" This is what Mrs. Zhuang, who has an insight into human nature, said to her personally. They all know that with Zhang Hanqing's current status, it is no longer possible to blatantly add new women to the harem, but it does not mean that there are no other ties with him.
As long as a man doesn’t give up on a woman, this bond will always exist.
Besides, after the sea was difficult to water, after seeing Zhang Hanqing's literary talent, Zhang Hanqing's excitement, Zhang Hanqing's wealth and Zhang Hanqing's power, no other men could conquer her. Once a girl's heart is filled with such emotions, it is difficult to get out.
Now, you don’t need to leave, you just need to follow your heart (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 740 The dispute over consular jurisdiction
You can search for "Young Marshal's Spring and Autumn Period Through the Republic of China" on Baidu to find the latest chapters!
The interrogation of the main messenger of the "May 30th Massacre", the British Concession Chief Inspector Mai Gaoyun and the arrester Ai Fusheng, who were arrested by the Shanghai People's Government and the People's Army, caused great twists and turns.
The British government used the so-called "consular jurisdiction" as an excuse to require the Republic of China government to hand over the two men and let the British try them instead. Smith, the British Consul General in Shanghai, even said arrogantly that "Chinese people in the concession have no right to interrogate foreigners. This is tradition"!
The so-called "consular jurisdiction" is a system in which a country exercises jurisdiction over its own nationals in the territory of another country in accordance with its own laws through its consuls stationed abroad. This is a kind of extraterritoriality, and its existence constitutes an exception or violation of the country's territorial superiority.
Initially, after the Crusades (11th to 13th centuries), Western countries began to implement this system in Eastern countries. At that time, European businessmen who settled in Eastern countries elected consuls among themselves to handle disputes between their own businessmen.
With the development of history, the consular powers of Western countries have further expanded. By the 19th century, through unequal treaties, they imposed the consular jurisdiction system on Asian and African countries—China, Japan, Siam (Thailand), Persia, and Egypt. etc., causing serious damage to the territorial sovereignty of these countries.
In the modern history of China, the abolition of consular jurisdiction has always been written in the pursuit of patriotism and national salvation struggle.
Consular jurisdiction is a privileged system imposed by imperialist powers on colonies and semi-colonies. According to this unequal system, expatriates from colonial countries are not subject to the laws of the country of residence, which opens the door for foreign powers to arbitrarily oppress and enslave the people of colonial and semi-colonial countries. They can do whatever they want without taking responsibility.
Its specific manifestation is: when an alien commits a crime in the country of residence, or becomes a defendant in a civil lawsuit, he or she will only be tried by the consul or court of the country of residence in accordance with the laws of the country of residence, but the country of residence cannot hold him legally responsible.
The country that has suffered the longest and most profound impact from the consular jurisdiction system imposed by Western countries is China. The provisions of the "Five-Port Trade Charter" between China and Britain in 1843 can be said to be the beginning of the consular jurisdiction system in China.
The 1844 "Wangxia Treaty between China and the United States" stipulates that criminal cases between the Chinese and American people shall be handled according to the defendant system, and mixed civil cases between China and the United States shall be "ascertained and discussed publicly by officials of the two countries"; cases between Americans shall be handled by the U.S. consul Litigation between Americans and foreign nationals shall be handled by the officials of the relevant countries themselves, and Chinese officials shall not interfere.
The 1844 Sino-French Treaty, the 1847 Treaty between China and Sweden and Norway, and the 1858 Sino-Russian Treaty all have similar provisions. The Sino-British Treaty of Tianjin in 1858, in addition to the principle of defendant doctrine, also stipulated the "joint trial" system that "both countries must jointly and fairly judge all matters negotiated by the two countries."
The 1876 Sino-British "Yantai Treaty" also stipulated the "observation and review" system in which the plaintiff's domestic officials can "go to the hearing official to observe the trial" and "can debate in detail" if they have different opinions.
Others include the "Treaty of Whampoa" between China and France, the "Ili Tarbachatai Trade Regulations" that Tsarist Russia forced the Qing government to sign in 1851, the "Principles of the Russian Government's Supervision of Manchuria" concocted by Tsarist Russia in 1900, and a series of other inequalities. In the treaty, there are provisions for the great powers to seize consular jurisdiction in China.
In addition to the above-mentioned treaties, many Western countries have also obtained consular jurisdiction in China by invoking the most-favored-nation clause. There are more than 20 countries that once enjoyed consular jurisdiction in China, namely Britain, France, the United States, Russia, Germany, Japan, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Peru, Mexico, Chile, Sweden, Switzerland, Brazil, etc.
The extraterritorial jurisdiction enjoyed by foreign countries in China is not only exercised by courts composed of consulates in China, but also by specially established courts. For example, the United States established a court in China based on legislation passed by Congress in 1906. Its status in the U.S. judicial system is equal to that of the federal district court.
According to the Order of the Privy Council in 1925, the United Kingdom established the Supreme Court in Shanghai and established a provincial court in each consular jurisdiction outside Shanghai, with the consul in charge serving as the chief judge.
In order to realize the above-mentioned "observation" and "joint trial" methods, a joint trial system was established. Moreover, what was originally a mutual observation changed to only allowing foreign consuls to go to Chinese official offices to watch the trials of cases in which foreigners were the plaintiffs, while Chinese officials were not allowed to go to the consular courts to watch the trials of cases in which Chinese were the plaintiffs.
The joint review also greatly exceeded the provisions of the original treaty. Foreign consuls not only intervened in litigation cases between China and foreign countries, but also usurped jurisdiction over litigation cases involving purely Chinese people in the concession.
The purpose of establishing the Judicial Court is to serve as a tribunal to review the activities of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau. The SMC, which had real power and acted largely independently, was composed of five British, two Americans and two Japanese. There is no Chinese representative in the Ministry of Industry and Industry BureauIt implements its expressed will to improve the judicial system and achieve equality with the European and American countries, and declares that it is ready to give up its extraterritorial rights once China's legal status, the methods for implementing the law, and other matters are satisfied."
It was also at this meeting that it was decided that after the meeting, each country would send personnel to establish a China Legal Rights Investigation Committee to go to China for investigation and guidance. But the commission was not formed until 1926 to go to China.
But consular jurisdiction is not irrevocable. Japan canceled all foreign privileges of the great powers in Japan after the Sino-Japanese War. What China can imitate is that China needs a victorious war to reflect China's power. Historically, after China's liberation war, these privileges were like soap bubbles that burst with all kinds of colors in the sun.
Now, Zhang Hanqing wants to complete this kind of change ahead of schedule that is related to the dignity of the Chinese people.
This premise is to use Chinese justice to publicly try Mai Gaoyun and Aifusheng, but there are many obstacles.
The British Empire is a lean camel bigger than a horse. If the Chinese government is allowed to try these two people, it will undoubtedly lose its face; and in a sense, if this approach becomes a reality, the "consular jurisdiction" It ended without a cure and effectively disappeared in China.
Britain has 20 million square kilometers of colonies. As long as it is a place that is not too important, it doesn’t really matter if there is one more or one less. The insistence on Hankou and Jiujiang is just because we are worried that the domino effect will cause other colonies to be ready to move, and we do not really want to hold on to them.
Just to maintain such a vast area, the British Empire did not have enough troops to sustain a war that might last a long time, so it dared not respond to Zhang Hanqing's war clamor.
They know that they may eventually defeat China, but they will also be scarred. So, who can guarantee that the people of other colonies will not take advantage of this God-given opportunity to achieve national independence? If it wants to maintain its position as a strong power, it cannot get caught up in any war between any big country that is not too weak.
This is the same strategy as that of the United States in later generations: after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the world had a situation of one superpower and multiple powers. The United States can strategically squeeze any regional power such as China, France, Germany, and Russia, or it can fight a war through proxies, but it will never get involved.
Because against any strong force, if you want to win, it will be a protracted and heavy-injury contest. Even if you win miserably, you will definitely be demoted from the "superior" status. This is something that no boss is willing to do. .
There are many painful historical lessons. Take the United States as an example. Its two wars in Asia, North Korea and Vietnam, were modeled on direct or indirect collisions with the regional power China. As a result, they came back defeated and were overtaken by the Soviet Union. They had no choice but to comprehensively Go on the defensive.
So Britain can actually accept the loss of its colonies. China is so big, has such a large population, and the country is beginning to become stronger and stronger. Continuing with this old approach will not work.
It is because Zhang Hanqing understood this that he was so tough before and after negotiations.
???????????????????????? But it is difficult for it to admit it from the bottom of its heart, because it is a more terrible thing than the loss of the colony. The reason why I say this is that maintaining the detached status of British citizens around the world is actually a kind of hegemony, and it is also one of the means by which they maintain such a large colony with very little manpower - a superior status.
The relationship between the suzerain and the colony is the relationship between the ruler and the ruled. I have judicial control over you, which is actually a kind of sovereign control. Sovereignty includes legislation, administration and justice. The British enjoyed public houses in their colonies, which strengthened the relationship between the rulers and the ruled in consciousness.
“If British subjects were tried in their colonies, where were the symbols of its rule?
“In addition, if the trial of the two British people is agreed to, the result will definitely be even worse, which will greatly damage the face of the British Empire. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the May 30th Incident happened entirely because the British did not take the lives of Chinese workers and students seriously. After the results come out, the British will inevitably apologize to China for their crimes. This will be another painful process.
So the British Minister took another thing: the Chinese army "massacred" the British troops and the Chinese artillery bombarded the British ships. They also have to investigate and try the parties involved. The reason is that these two successive incidents caused great losses to the British soldiers. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 741 Perfect Conquest
Zhang Hanqing ignored their unreasonable troubles, as he and British Consul General Barton said: "The confrontation and exchange of fire between Chinese soldiers and British soldiers are completely different in nature from the military targeting civilians.
We are also investigating who fired the first shot; as for the shelling incident, it was also a British warship shelling Chinese civilians, and it was in the Chinese border. This can be understood as aggression. The firing of Chinese artillery in order to protect civilians and territorial sovereignty is just as it should be, just as it is intolerable for China to send troops to attack and kill British civilians.
At this time, Mr. Consul must not create any new troubles. I am afraid that once this matter is reported to the press, the situation will get out of hand! "
Is this a threat? Anyway, in the subsequent negotiations, the British side did not mention the British casualties at all, but focused on the judicial ownership of the Avoson and McGowan cases.
Since the Chinese government has obtained the person and has shown that it will not yield to any pressure, once the negotiations break down, the difficult young marshal will definitely hold a public trial without hesitation, which will make the British The minister to China, the consul general in Shanghai, and the British officials of the Concession Industry and Information Technology Bureau were strongly criticized and might even be dismissed from their posts for this.
Under such circumstances, they are racking their brains as to how to not only echo the strong demands of the Chinese people, but also reflect the dignity of the British Empire in a timely manner and save face.
Even the United States, France, Japan and other countries are worried that once this trend spreads, it will become a common practice for China to independently try foreigners, and they also strongly demand the formation of a judicial committee to jointly try the cases.
They proposed that, at least for their own sake, foreign judges also need to participate in the trial. As for the outcome of the trial, it actually doesn't matter.
Zhang Hanqing is not doing anything wrong for himself, because as long as the concession exists for one day, this is the premise that the judiciary cannot be fair, and the trial is also secondary.
“Both sides want to save face and give an explanation to the people of all countries, that’s all.
In order to resolve the May 30th Incident as soon as possible legally, Zhang Hanqing also made concessions on the premise of obtaining the British surrender of the Hankou and Jiujiang Concessions and agreed to a joint trial by both parties. There are three representatives from foreign countries: Sir John Golu, chief judge of Hong Kong appointed by the British, Jameson, the judge of the Philippine High Court arranged by the Americans, and Kisaburo Suga, the chief judge of the Hiroshima Court of Appeals in Japan.
There are three representatives from the Chinese side, headed by Lin Sen, one of the Supreme Court Justices, and a total of 6 judges from both sides have established a judicial committee.
Although the number of judges is evenly divided between Chinese and foreign, because it is China’s home court, this is the first time since the late Qing Dynasty that China has stood up in a strong posture, and it has also been the first time that China has challenged the privileges of the great powers in China from the front, which is of far-reaching significance. Regardless of the outcome of the final "trial", China under the leadership of the Feng clique has rewritten history.
"Excuse me, excuse me, the Shanghai High Court is going to put the British on trial in Shanghai Beach!"
“The Chinese government wants to take back the consular jurisdiction of the great powers in China!”
"Whether the culprit of the May 30th Incident can be brought to justice, hundreds of millions of people are waiting to see!"
Newsboys all over the street waved urgently printed newspapers, letting the news spread to the inner and outer beaches of the port and up and down the Yellow River, giving the sleeping Chinese people a refreshing cool breeze, giving them the opportunity to look up at the direction of the wind and enjoy this kind of news. Cool.
Public opinion is overwhelming, and the news fed back from major cities has quickly become an important reference for European and American politicians to judge China's future situation. But no matter what, this is the first time that an official of the British Empire was interrogated by a colonial government. Is this really good?
So the British government unsurprisingly severely refuted this statement, but this statement was so feeble to Zhang Hanqing.
Yes, after experiencing the exposure of the "May 30th Massacre", the People's Government has become more and more satisfied with the power in its hands and has become more and more tough. What about the Empire on which the sun never sets? The sky is high and the emperor is far away, but he is also showing off his violence at my doorstep. Do you still think that the current government of the Republic of China is the same as that of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties?
“The high-pressure policy against China is definitely ineffective, and this has been confirmed. After expressing its "opinions" in a high-profile manner, the British government privately sent an intermediary to seek a compromise from the Republic of China government. That is to say, we need both lizi and face.
Although the power of the direct officials who were originally close to Britain and the United States has been severely weakened, they still have influence in private. It is inevitable that their past feelings will speak for them.
The Kuomintang already has unclear relations with the British and American forces involved in China, and of course it does not want to see the Kuomintang and its government trying to gain face for the Chinese people in diplomacy. Although many of them may not have lost their conscience like the group of people in Baodao later in terms of national justice, if Zhang Hanqing had successfully blocked this battle, his influence in the hearts of the Chinese people would have increased. One weight.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????When one day they?After the biggest propaganda and public opinion has lost its high ground, what will they use to fight against the People's Party? Therefore, they also used the excuse of economic development and expressed their opinions openly or covertly to let it go. Anyway, the country did not lose in this confrontation in Shanghai.
"Face must be earned by strength. You, the British, started it. Why should the Chinese government finish it off for you?" You have a reason to save face, how can I explain it to the Chinese people? Zhang Hanqing rejected any private compromise ideas and lobbying. His external reason was that the government must not interfere with the court's judgment!
You must know that China is a democratic country with three separations of powers and a country ruled by law. "The government will never interfere with judicial justice." Even if foreigners break the law in China, they should be dealt with by Chinese courts in accordance with the law.
Of course, Zhang Hanqing did not completely close the door to peace talks.
Because of the decisive actions of the East China People's Army, the "May 30th Massacre" in this world was not as humiliating as in the previous life, and more British people seemed to have died in the conflict. But Zhang Hanqing will not have any mercy. It is true that there are many Chinese people, but they all have dignity. His answer to the intermediary was that the perpetrators of the tragedy should not be let go easily, and the Chinese people could not explain this.
Of course, it is unrealistic to blindly be radical and ignore the face of the British: no one can estimate the limit of the United Kingdom towards China in the current time and space, and in this era, issues such as concession recovery and containment of Japan are still inseparable from the cooperation of the United Kingdom. , How to maximize the posture of the people's government and not lead to an eventual war also requires considerable attention.
The current government of the Republic of China is not as strong as Lao Maozi did when he defeated the Soviet Union and resisted the United States and also taught the Ah Sans a lesson.
Through private channels, Zhang Hanqing expressed the goodwill of the central government to resolve the situation quickly, but he emphasized that the interrogation and judgment should be led by China to comfort the people. This is the bottom line that the People's Party government cannot retreat from.
In return, the Chinese government will back down on the British Concession issue, allowing the UK to continue to retain Shanghai, Tianjin and Guangzhou, and give the UK guarantees on the Hong Kong issue; as a prerequisite, the UK must clearly recognize China's sovereignty In return, China recognized the British governance rights, that is, "exchanged sovereignty for governance rights", in order to dilute the colonial color of the concession.
Zhang Hanqing’s approach is very painful for the British government: This is a kind of gradual pressure. If it is good, everyone is good; if it is not good, escalation will occur within a visible range. Through a series of tough measures after the tragedy, the British government understood that unless there was a large-scale war between China and Britain, it would be impossible for the young People's Party government to make unprincipled concessions. .
This is also the last time the British government only emphasized that the trial "should be conducted under the supervision of British and American personnel, fair treatment must be guaranteed, and the human rights of British citizens must be respected."
Damn human rights! Who respects my human rights?
But now is not the time to pay attention to this. In later generations, Western countries led by the United States have stumbling upon China on human rights issues not once or twice. As China becomes stronger and stronger, this kind of formulation is gradually not recognized by its partners. The United States only hummed a few words feebly when it published a white paper in the New Year, and was questioned by the Chinese government. Without him, the reversal of power results.
The Chinese and British governments tacitly set the tone, and the trial was ongoing. However, intentionally or unintentionally, the People's Party's public opinion was biased towards the subsequent independent tariff negotiations, and nothing was done about the trial of Mai and Ai. One of the signs that the Chinese people are becoming stronger is that the main editorials ended up focusing more on the trial results themselves rather than on the outlines.
However, taking this opportunity, China and the UK signed the "Code of Conduct for British Citizens in China and the Territorial Principle of Judiciary", recognizing the requirements of the British in complying with Chinese laws.
The unexpected victory made Zhang Hanqing determined to pursue the victory and ask the great powers to use this as a blueprint to actually downplay the nature of the concession, so as to inform the governments of various countries and negotiate a new plan for concession management.
Frankly speaking, if it were not for the increasingly tough means and power in the hands of the People's Party in this generation, this kind of appeal that should be "weightless" to the great powers would not be able to defend the fact that China is still a second-rate country. . As an important part of improving national self-esteem and self-confidence, Zhang Hanqing personally arranged and led this negotiation, which was scornfully called "Don Quixote" style by some domestic British and American slaves and foreign observers.
However, what surprised them was that Western countries, led by the United States, took the lead in passing the "Regulations on the Jurisdiction of Foreigners in China" and the "Agreement on the Establishment of Chinese Courts in the Shanghai French Concession", followed closely by the China-Japan "Regulations on the Jurisdiction of Foreigners in China" The Treaty on Basic Relations with Japan was also born one after another.
Although these new agreements still retain many provisions and do not ultimately eliminate China’s extraterritoriality, such concessions were unimaginable before. Zhang Hanqing also knows very well that as long as China's national power cannot awe these alienated people, it is important to note that negotiations will still be a marathon unless there is a stormy revolution.
Zhang Hanqing has deep confidence in this revolution.
The May 30th Incident, which lasted for more than half a year, ended in an almost perfect manner. When the power was not enough to restrain the British and other great powers, being able to resolve the incident in this way was quite successful for Zhang Hanqing and for China. There is no doubt that this is a perfect closing. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Be in awe and note that negotiations will still be a marathon unless there is a stormy revolution.

Chapter 778 Your circle is in chaos (Part 2)
??
Wang Geng somewhat knew who it was, and he was surprised.
"Young talents in the Northeast would be considered outsiders if they didn't know about this widowed daughter of the Huang family. The story of how she became a widow is also a piece of history that has arisen in the Min Dynasty.
This Miss Huang Ruqing is indeed good-looking and has a good reputation. Her husband was caught and exposed by Marshal Zhang at the time for smashing several light bulbs with a gun, and the punishment was surprisingly harsh: kill him as a warning to others; her father and family were almost imprisoned because of the financial crisis in Liaoning Province. Pot end.
But perhaps because of his cousin Huang Wanqing, the young marshal let their family go. And when Huang Wanqing became the young marshal's second wife, the Huang family became glorious again. Her father was already capable, and now he had the support of the old and young marshals. In short, he quickly rose to prominence in the business world.
Her uncle, Huang Wanqing’s father, has now become a Chinese grain tycoon and the chairman and general manager of China Cereals and Oils Group;
Her uncle Huang Gongting is now the deputy governor of Liaoning and has joined the Standing Committee;
Her father, Huang Xianting, controls the gold trade in Northeast China and is the boss behind Ruihuanchang, the largest gold store in Shenyang and said to be the largest in the country.
The Huang family is second only to the Yu family in the Northeast.
Wang Geng naturally understands Huang Ruqing, as he is the young marshal’s in-law. Widowed, beautiful, and with an astonishing family fortune, she has always been favored by prominent figures in several provinces outside the customs - it would be strange if no one cared about such favorable conditions.
Her former husband was a gangster, and after he was punished by Ming Zhengdian, especially after the Huang family married the young marshal, the threshold was crossed for those who came to propose marriage to her. But the strange thing is that no matter whether the other party is rich in education, powerful or wealthy, the Huang family master refuses them all, saying that he wants to give him a royal title.
In the past few years since the Republic of China, the new marriage law no longer advocates so-called restraints such as observing moral integrity, and marriage has become free. This kind of rhetoric is not easy to believe. However, there is news that she herself did not want to remarry, so she was polite to all the matchmakers, and gradually the matter faded away.
?? Nearly ten years have passed since then, and she is about to enter her thirties and become an old girl, but there are still many people who covet her.
Because this is indeed a good marriage.
It’s just that a good thing suddenly happened to him, and he couldn’t believe it.
"It's Wang Geng who has reached a higher level!" he said.
?Looking at his attitude, Zhang Hanqing understood and breathed a sigh of relief. As the harem team becomes larger and larger, and now they are working hard to date Wanrong, they really have no energy to tangle with Huang Ruqing anymore, and even feel uneasy after the spring breeze has passed.
"It's not fair to delay her youth for one's own selfish reasons. This is Huang Wanqing's cousin!" However, he didn't say anything and the Huang family didn't dare to move, which was a headache.
I can only play matchmaker myself and give her an explanation. Fortunately, if she follows Wang Geng, this is also a good destination for her.
"It will be her blessing if she can marry you! Wanqing's cousin has encountered misfortune before, but fortunately she is cautious and low-key, and is a woman who manages the household. She will definitely not be as sharp as Lu Xiaoman Zhilu, so if you marry her, you can work with peace of mind and won't be fettered by family affairs!"
This is the first time Zhang Hanqing has been so enthusiastic about being a matchmaker. In fact, he didn't need to say it, Wang Geng also understood what it meant to marry the Huang family: not only did he marry a beautiful woman, but he also had a solid political guarantee.
“If Miss Huang can like Wang Geng, I have no objection!” He said.
In the evening, Zhang Hanqing quietly said to Huang Wanqing: "I want to marry your sister to Wang Geng."
Huang Wanqing was stunned for no reason. Why did her husband say that?
"I'm very optimistic about Wang Geng: he has a handsome appearance, top-notch academic qualifications, and is dedicated to his work. As a man, he has no choice. Although your sister is a widow, Wang Geng is also divorced. I haven't mentioned this." Zhang Hanqing said. Wang Geng briefly explained the situation, and then talked about his ex-wife Lu Xiaoman, his adult beauty, and the fact that he never married again.
“Uh, why does it feel so evil? Even Zhang Hanqing himself felt like he was pimping.
"Your sister's situation is quite good, her family is well-off, and she is also very beautiful. If I act as a matchmaker, there is a high chance that something good will happen. This will give your sister an explanation, and it will also benefit Wang Geng's broad-mindedness. A kind of compensation for the broad mind, the best of both worlds" Zhang Hanqing was so lost in his own good wishes that he didn't notice Huang Wanqing's resentful eyes.
"What do you want to explain to my sister?" She looked at Zhang Hanqing quietly, and the latter was terrified by her look. How could this daughter-in-law, who has always been as gentle as water, be so powerful? She didn't get angry, but the pressure was already overwhelming her.
“??, that’s right. You are my woman, and your cousin is also my cousin. She is now a widow at home. How can I bear to watch her live her life like this? Nowadays it is rare to find a good match, so I should do my best. "Zhang Hanqing quietly wiped the sweat from his cheeks.
"Really? She's your cousin. How come I heard some bad rumors? Rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests. Don't get your shoes wet by the river!" Huang Wanqing still spoke softly and gently helped him. Wiping off the water stains on his face: "Look at you, it's so cold and you can still sweat even when you talk! That's your bad thing, you can't hide your words on your face."
She rambled on, but Zhang Hanqing felt terrified of being stripped naked and exposed to everyone. Fortunately, she didn't feel sorry for herself, but comforted him and said: "Actually, it's good for you to do this. At least my cousin has a good ending. Otherwise, what's going on? Regarding Wang Geng's matter, I'll ask you Thank you for taking so much trouble.”
Zhang Hanqing immediately patted his chest and said, "This matter will be taken care of by me. For no other reason than you, I want him to buy my face!"
Huang Wanqing said angrily: "It's not that my cousin can't get married, she still wants your face! If it weren't for you, her child would probably be older than Heng'er now! I can't blame my aunt for saying that you were eating food from the bowl and watching. The one in the pot is still holding someone else's spoon!"
It turns out that I am this kind of person in the eyes of your natal family! Isn’t it graceful and graceful? Zhang Hanqing smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly and did not dare to talk, but said: "Gao Pan! Isn't Gao Pan good enough? I will go to Wang Geng right now, find all the three aunts and six women, and ask him to go to the Huang Mansion with a grand ceremony to propose marriage!"
Before Huang Wanqing could say anything else, he greased the soles of his feet and quickly slipped away, leaving a dumbfounded Huang Wanqing staring at his background. That's what my husband is bad at. He has done everything he has done and still wants to cover it up secretly. He doesn't even look at the fact that you have found so many confidantes outside. How many times have you cared about it?
In fact, Huang Wan had heard about the scandal between her cousin and Zhang Hanqing early in the morning, but her parents were hesitant to tell her the truth, but it did not prevent them from knowing something through their own channels. Her family had tactfully asked her about Zhang Hanqing more than once, but nothing was made clear and she didn't know how to say it.
If Zhang Hanqing loves her, she must know how to advance and retreat. She had the obligation to hide things that Zhang Hanqing didn't know, things that she didn't see, and things that Zhang Hanqing didn't say. This was the duty of a concubine. In fact, according to the thinking of her generation, even if Zhang Hanqing did something, it was not unacceptable, but she only suffered for her cousin.
Her husband knows that although Zhang Hanqing is a little more flirtatious and has a strong desire to hunt for women, he usually only looks at the cracked balls, and I am afraid he will not do anything violent (forgive her for being deceived into taking the initiative to sleep with her) . Huang Ruqing is probably just a temporary hormonal attack for him, and he won't be able to stop her. He has too many women in his harem to count, so do he still need to worry about his cousin?
But there was nothing she could do about this fait accompli. Now that he has taken the initiative, it is of course very good. It can make his cousin happy and save his family from any worries. This is of course a good thing.
"I don't know if Zhang Hanqing is just talking about it for a while or if he really has this intention, but it is not a problem for his cousin to keep talking to him without knowing it. Besides, they actually have very few opportunities to meet, so don't delay your cousin. So with the idea of ????sooner rather than later, Huang Wanqing returned to her parents' home at dawn the next day and asked her family's attitude tactfully.
What kind of attitude can you have? Of course it's great! After all, it is not a problem for a widowed daughter to be at home for a long time without children, and she is also worried about the young commander. It wasn't that she was afraid of what would happen if she followed him without any explanation, but because the society of the Republic of China had developed to this point, it was no longer possible for her to follow the young commander without explanation.
“Besides, Zhang Hanqing has not done anything obscure in the past few years. Should she be left to die alone? It’s serious to marry her off quickly! Who knows if Zhang Hanqing will cause trouble again in the future? Besides, Wang Geng is really good and has a good reputation in Heilongjiang Province. It would be a good idea for Huang Ruqing to marry him.
In Huang Ruqing’s boudoir, Huang Wanqing revealed this matter to her. When looking for a husband, of course the person concerned must be satisfied. This has been the fifteenth year of the Republic of China!
Regarding Wang Geng, Huang Ruqing knew that after all, he and Lu Xiaoman were once called a match made in heaven, a golden boy and a beautiful girl. When they got married, there was a sensation in Beijing.
Later, there was another sensation when they divorced.
"A rising ivy in the military and political circles, and it is also the best age for men. Regardless of family needs or personal compatibility, this is a good marriage. Moreover, she also knew that it was time to get married.
Regarding the young commander's arrangement, Huang Ruqing was happy, relieved and a little bit disappointed. She was forced to have an affair with Zhang Hanqing, and the ridiculous night a few days ago made her feel guilty. Once upon a time, family interests, the reality of underground love, and respect for power made her accept her fate as a woman he could not see.
But as Zhang Hanqing blossomed like a legend, her heart gradually died. With Zhang Hanqing's current identity, Huang Wanqing's factors, and the fact that she is a widow, it is impossible for her to have any intersection with him again.
Suddenly, the young commander gave her a turning point in her life, and the world suddenly opened up. He was able to "return from the lost way" and gave her freedom. Of course, she was happy and relieved, and it also diluted the loss - she knew more It is impossible to hope.

Chapter 800 Precious votes
Although the majority in Congress, headed by Wang Jingwei, was still agitating for the proposal to "nationalize the military," Zhang Hanqing temporarily relented after receiving assurances that Kong Xiangxi would use his reputation in Shanxi to steal Yan Xishan's support and that Liao Zhongkai would separate some of the Kuomintang votes. One breath.
But before Sun Yat-sen's death, the "Second Draft Constitution of the Republic of China" signed by the Kuomintang and the People's Party on behalf of the Kuomintang and the People's Party clearly stipulated the method for amending the constitution - the approval of a two-thirds majority of both houses of Congress is required. In other words, under the provisions of this outline, the slogan of the People's Party | Leading China can have the opportunity to be changed.
Now the People's Party has 157 votes, and the Kuomintang is in second place with a difference of 2 votes. Other small parties that hold a certain number of seats are the Chinese Workers' Party, the Chinese Women's League, the Zhigong Party, the All-China Federation of Overseas Chinese, and the non-partisan parties.
The group that still holds the most votes is Duan Qirui, who represents the Anhui clique. He used his influence in Beijing politics for many years to rank third with 45 votes.
Others include the Jin clique represented by Yan Xishan, the Feng clique represented by Feng Yuxiang, the Zhili clique represented by Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, etc., and they still occupy a certain number of votes with their profound influence.
On the surface, the People's Party has defeated the Kuomintang and is far ahead of other groups, but it is still a little short of the "life-saving" line of 161 votes for constitutional amendment.
Of course, even if the House of Representatives passes it, Zhang Hanqing is sure to fight back this kind of constitutional amendment in the Senate, because the People's Party and its allies control nearly half of the 67 votes in the Senate. According to the constitutional amendment, the Senate and the House of Representatives must each pass two-thirds. requirements to ensure that the key words "the Republic of China is led by the People's Party" will not be a problem for the time being.
“It’s just that the arrogance of Wang Jingwei and his like must be suppressed, otherwise, such a small group of political careerists will sooner or later become a destabilizing factor for China. Of course, in this era, even by virtue of his status as chairman of a major party in parliament, he could not achieve the negative impact caused by the second-in-command of the Kuomintang, the ruling party in history, who defected to the Japanese.
Putting all your money on the reliability of your allies and the rebellion of Kong Xiangxi and Liao Zhongkai is obviously not something that the young commander dares to rely on completely. After all, it is far safer to control your destiny in the hands of others than to control it yourself. Moreover, even if safety is involved this time, when the country is facing internal and external troubles, having scattered congressional constraints in the country is obviously inconsistent with the national situation of concentrating efforts to accomplish major tasks.
How to solve the possibility of seizing political power once and for all is what Zhang Hanqing should be thinking hard about and worrying about. Alas, if I had known this, I would have regretted it!
If the outer allies in the Senate rebel, the People's Party's lifeline of at least one-third will be in jeopardy. If the opposition can unite the majority at this time, it will be able to amend the description of the leadership of the People's Party in the constitution.
Without this protective umbrella, the current People’s Party will at best be regarded as the largest party in Congress. The "nationalization of the military" proposal is a touchstone to break the People's Party's ruling position. As long as the military is divided, the political foundation of the People's Party will be in ruins.
At this time, he contacted the "Chinese Women's Alliance" privately. This small group, which was originally unpopular and mainly initiated by several well-known women in society, has now become a favorite in Zhang Hanqing's eyes because it controls 14 key votes in the House of Representatives and 4 Senate seats in Beijing and Tianjin. cake.
What’s very funny is that Yu Yifan is the chairman of this small group. Without saying a word, this little girl actually had such influence!
They said that the conditions for voting for the People’s Party are simple: to enact laws that ensure equality between men and women in marriage, inheritance, labor, education, etc. The most important one is to abolish polygamy. As long as they do this, their votes will be reserved for the People's Party!
The first one is easy to deal with, but the last one is very difficult. It’s easy to cancel now, but what about the fait accompli before? He alone has three legal wives! Yu Yifan, is it because there has been no news about her marriage with him, is he taking this to get angry with himself?
Judging from the triumphant look on Yu Yifan's face as she looked at him in the Capitol Building, she might not have meant this!
In the evening, Zhang Hanqing came to Yu Yifan's villa in Beihai Park. This is the love nest of the two of them. Basically, Zhang Hanqing has to take turns to play between Yu Yifan, Huang Wanqing, and Liang Qingzhu at various intervals. The three of them also waited for the arrival of the monarch Zhang Hanqing in order with a tacit understanding.
Naturally, the two had a fierce fight at first, and the traditional result was that Zhang Hanqing ended up standing next to Yifan, stroking her smooth belly while talking. After communicating between body and mind, Yu Yifan naturally opened his heart to Zhang Hanqing: "People have been forming this alliance for a long time, and you don't even care about it. You only care about having a romantic relationship with that surnamed Tang. Do you think I don't know?"
Zhang Hanqing hey heylaugh. Yu Yifan's temperament of forgetting things soon would not be called true. It didn't matter if she knew these things. In fact, Yu Fengzhi doesn't care much about him now. Huang Wanqing has a happy-go-lucky character, and will not interfere with his affairs. Gu Ruiyu is far away in Tianjin, and because of the status gap, she only wants to be his lair and rarely interferes with him.
In a word, he lives among a group of women who rely entirely on self-discipline.
"This is not a reason for you to give me power! I have rejected government proposals several times in the House of Representatives, and it seems that you agree."
Yu Yifan chuckled and gently pulled a strand of black hair on his temples, full of charm. After Zhang Hanqing's tireless development, she is mature enough, but there is still no movement in her belly. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for her.
She said with a smile: "You don't care about the election of members of Congress anyway, so I'll just play for fun. Who knows, I can easily get a few votes! You've had such a smooth life in the past few years, you need others to pour cold water on you." Yeah. I just thought, instead of someone else splashing the water, it’s better for me to splash it. At least at the critical moment, I can still let you go!"
Zhang Hanqing feigned anger and said, "Isn't it critical now?"
Yu Yifan raised her buttocks higher on her own. She stretched her arms and let her pointed breasts be displayed in front of Zhang Hanqing unscrupulously. He has eaten it, and it is no longer harmful to women. The happy moment has passed, now is the time for women to work hard.
According to the method given by her aunt, she must prevent the dragon seed from overflowing after each sexual intercourse. The best way is to point the exit upward. Every time Zhang Hanqing watched her work hard to move her numb legs a little or try to lift them up, he couldn't help but be very moved and a little worried.
I am so afraid that there is something wrong with me. The game of creating offspring with Yu Fengzhi and Huang Wanqing came to an abrupt end after reaching its peak four years ago. Yu Fengzhi gave birth to four children and Huang Wanqing stopped invariably after giving birth to two. Even though they are very young, they have always been nourished by themselves during the creation of human beings.
Gu Ruiyu and Yu Yifan joined the ranks of their own private plots when their fertility was at a low point, or when the harvest was "absolute". It is said that they worked very hard, but they never bore fruit. Although the two of them didn't say anything, their unanimous actions of begging for children on the bed still exposed their thoughts: with his status, it was impossible for him to join "others", and it was his fault that he failed to leave them any comfort. That's not right.
But there seems to be nothing wrong with my body? why?
Seeing her perseverance in this laborious method in order to be able to conceive her own child, Zhang Hanqing was also very moved. One woman's infertility may be her own problem, but what about two? What about four in consecutive years? Yu Fengzhi and Huang Wanqing are both women who have given birth to children, so there should be nothing wrong with them, right? But why can't they come back again?
A woman is like a piece of land. In theory, crops can grow on even the poorest land, as long as the seeds are good. Women at that time did not have the opportunity to eat many foods containing hormones, and the fertility rate was also very high. If a woman can fight so hard for future generations, how can she, as a man, give up her responsibilities?
When he was so excited, he said with a smile: "The key to having children is to rely on men, just like growing crops in the ground, you need men to plow the ground well. Only when the ground is leveled and plowed in place can the crops grow." Okay." After saying these loving words, he already raised his gun and mounted his horse, eager to try.
Yu Yifan has been married to him for a year, and he is also very relaxed about these things. He just said angrily: "Don't act nonsense, I finally stopped it, but if you mess around, it comes out again."
With her cooperation, Zhang Hanqing effortlessly occupied the high position again and began to move slowly: "Western medicine has said that anything that drips is useless, and the really useful ones will stay on their own in a short time after they are done." ." He sped up the frequency: "Besides, I have to add support to you now. What are you still thinking about? Hurry up and make the new one the authentic one."
Yu Yifan chuckled, hugged his head, cooperated to let him have more freedom, and let him work on his body. Both of them are young and have plenty of physical strength, so this round of love is even better. Zhang Hanqing, feeling Yu Yifan's affection, was especially devoted.
When the passion subsided, Zhang Hanqing gasped and said, "Because I work so hard, can you give me your vote this time?"
Yu Yifan smiled and leaned her face against his mouth: "For these few votes for me, you worked hard, right? Seeing how hard you work," she counted her fingers. , "I gave you one vote once, already twice. I will arrange to vote for you twice next time!"
Zhang Hanqing was completely defeated and had no ability to make up for it. He just sighed sadly: "One vote at a time, you are killing me!" Yu Yifan wanted to tease him, how could he not do it? What about cooperation?
Yu Yifan was extremely proud: "There are times when you are afraid of me! Didn't you tell me before, no pain, no gain. You work twice, and I give you two gains. This is not fair and reasonable. Are you old enough?" She teased Zhang Hanqing's mouth playfully: "If you can work hard again, I will give you a discount and double the number of votes!"
Seeing Zhang Hanqing groaning, she said slyly: "But because you are so sincere, I can let you owe it first, but you have to pay it back within this month!"
Zhang Hanqing looked up to the sky and sighed: "A precious vote, I only learned about it in political textbooks before, but now I believe it, it really exists!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Did you tell me, no pain, no gain. You have worked hard twice, and I have given you two harvests. Isn’t this fair, reasonable, and fair?

Chapter 832 Political Work System
After experiencing the "Juliuhe Incident", Zhang Hanqing learned the painful lesson and seriously summed up the lessons.
He and Han Linchun, Jiang Baili, Jiang Dengxuan and others had an in-depth discussion on how to effectively grasp and restrain the ideological dynamics of the army. He believed that the current expansion of the army was too fast, and the old Fengtian clique and the People's Army clique failed to integrate organically, leading to the creation of bullies and various factions. The rectification work of demobilizing troops has not yet been carried out with great fanfare; the quality of some officers and soldiers varies greatly, and the mountain king mentality is serious.
"If we don't eliminate these discordant notes within the People's Party and the People's Army, sooner or later something big will happen." Finally, a conclusion was reached: the ideological and political work of the military needs to be strengthened urgently.
indeed so. In today's world, military strategists from various countries generally believe that war is a comprehensive contest of tangible and intangible combat power.
The so-called tangible combat power consists of weapons, equipment and battlefield facilities - achieved by relying on science and technology to strengthen the military; intangible combat power consists of the thoughts and will of combatants - achieved by relying on political operations. Therefore, political operations have always had a special place in war, and their status and role are also very important.
For a long time, the People's Army has always attached great importance to political operations in accordance with Zhang Hanqing's principle of "three points military, seven points political; three points material resources, seven points spiritual". It not only regards it as a regular task in peacetime, but also lists it as a battle important elements of the plan.
For example, in the famous "Zhongwei Adaptation" plan, a special political department was formulated and its important role in the government order system was designed; when the Wuhan Military Academy was founded, political work was also regarded as an important part, gradually forming a relatively mature set of After reunifying the country, an independent General Political Department was also established, and Jiang Deng, a veteran of the People's Party, was elected as the director of the General Political Department, with the same rank as the Chief of General Staff.
Methods such as setting up the position of political and legal committee secretary in party organizations at all levels and clarifying the dual control rights of local party committees over local military and armed police are all a kind of exploration and practice of the political work system.
“One lesson from this mutiny is that the authority of the chief military officer is too great. How will the Political Department restrict the commander who is theoretically his superior? According to the political work system and the people's army transfer system, the transfer of the army is only valid unless it is signed by the military chief and signed by the director of the political department. The staff department issues the transfer order based on the signatures of the two people. The transfer order still needs to be filed with the political department afterwards. .
The unit receiving the military order must also have the signature of the military chief and the counter-signature of the director of the Political Department before issuing it to the troops. Otherwise, this will be a huge political mistake. Not only does the subordinate army have the right to refuse, but it can also directly charge them with treason on the spot. Pull him down; even after the incident, he will inevitably face the fate of being court-martialed.
Under this strict system, unless all the chief officers rebel at the same time, even if there is a problem in any link, the army will not be in chaos.
What should I do if the head of the Political Department refuses to countersign? Convene a party committee meeting to discuss!
In an emergency situation, taking the division level as an example, the division commander, deputy division commander, director of the division political department, division chief of staff, and division logistics director are the five statutory party committee members, who decide the final conclusion by majority vote. However, this conclusion will bear political consequences, and the necessity and rationality of this emergency conclusion will be investigated afterwards.
Carrying out political work in the military is a very good system. Until Zhang Hanqing crossed the Taiwan Straits, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party on both sides of the Taiwan Strait attached great importance to the role of the political warfare system. For example, the political and warfare system of Taiwan's military is known as the "fourth branch of the military" because of its large structure, tight organization, clear tasks, and strict systems.
However, because many old-style officers in the old Fengjun army regarded the army as private property and were afraid of losing their power, they tried their best to prevent the young marshal from intervening in changing his army, and they violated Zhang Hanqing's repeated political reorganization.
Zhang Hanqing has had firm control over the People's Army since the day it was formed, but there is nothing he can do about Zhang Zuolin's use of the veteran generals. Although Zhang Zuolin had the intention to deal with the young commander's complaints, he did not dare to provoke a mutiny at this time and affect the overall situation because of the favorable domestic and international situation for the Feng clan due to successive years of war, so he reluctantly maintained this situation that was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing.
"But when these officers threaten Zhang Zuolin's ruling foundation or the young marshal's life, they are trampling on the bottom line of the old marshal Zhang Zuolin and absolutely cannot be tolerated. Therefore, when Zhang Hanqing discussed old matters again on the day after the coup, Zhang Zuolin immediately issued an order without saying a word: Based on the People's Army, all Fengtian armies were to be fully reorganized; all officers who disobeyed or were treated negatively would be forcibly retired or Transfer!
With Zhang Zuolin here, many conservative generals from the old Feng clan have been resisting the work of the Political Department for many years indirectly (there are no more direct resistance, Tang Yulin ended up), which has resulted in many units having the airs of the Political Department but never having power. door. In view of this, Zhang Zuolin decided to give up the more powerful position of Chairman of the Military Commission to Zhang Hanqing.
In this way, the "friendship" with Zhang Hanqing is not very big.nbsp;The so-called "economic openness" and "reward and punishment openness" are to coordinate with various measures to improve military welfare and stabilize military morale.
In addition, political workers also launched activities to select "combat heroes", "overcoming heroes" and "political war heroes" to stimulate the fighting mood of the troops with honors and material rewards.
In order to let this army enjoy a good status in the hearts of the people and gain the support of the people, and to solve the problem of "for whom to fight?", Zhang Hanqing actively explored and asked the political departments at all levels to establish the People's Army to "serve the people and fight for the country." purpose.
He imitated the "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" and made some easy-to-understand changes, and changed it into the "Ten Major Disciplines of Loving the People" that all officers and soldiers were required to implement. The contents are: "Dig toilets when camping; avoid women when bathing; be kind to others; Compensate for damage; do not buy on credit; discuss before renting a house; sweep the door before leaving; take good care of crops and trees; do not take a needle or thread; respect national traditions."
After three years of hard work, the entire People's Army has basically reached the requirement of "joining the party not only in form, but also in thought and action" as Zhang Hanqing said.
When later generations evaluated the role of this "Program", they also sincerely believed: "It has significantly contributed to the improvement of the welfare, honor, discipline, and combat effectiveness of the army. As for the formation of the glorious tradition of 'people's soldiers' and 'military and civilian fish and water relations', This is a fact that everyone knows."

Chapter 882 Canine-tooth interaction
There has never been a situation where the artillery troops have to fight alone without the infantry. If they are at home or within a safe range, they are not afraid of this. But this is North Korea, and anything can happen on the battlefield! If there are really Japanese infantry, cavalry, or who knows what kind of soldiers, as long as they carry enough light weapons, the artillery regiment will be slaughtered!
The artillery regiments are all equipped with a radio station. This uses a ground wave antenna and uses amplitude modulation reporting mode. When the power is 5W, it can reach a distance of 30 to 40 kilometers. If it is further away, it must use a high-frequency antenna at the division headquarters and use constant amplitude. It’s a 15w radio station in reporting mode.
I contacted the division headquarters, but could not find it. It seems that the 7th Division has gone far.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????outline attack is difficult, the urgent need for field artillery to clear the Japanese fortifications and howitzer fire suppression. According to this statement, his artillery regiment should follow up quickly.
But what I still can’t figure out is why there was such a dense sound of gunfire on a road that was supposed to be safe. According to the queue arrangement, the 7th Division took the lead, the 8th Division followed, and the Military Headquarters and the 9th Division were in the rear. Their baggage troops and artillery troops were at the bottom. The closest one to him should be the 3rd Army Headquarters.
Liu Yanji quickly contacted the military headquarters, but what he received was news that made him even more frightened: the two divisions in front of the sudden attack, as well as the military headquarters, were besieged. What's even more surprising is that the Japanese infantry has already rushed towards us!
Quickly, he ordered all infantry units to organize defenses on the spot. After unloading a light howitzer battalion and all the artillery shells, all tow trucks immediately turned around and ran backwards. In order to reduce weight, all baggage was left behind, as well as artillery support units such as transport personnel.
Trucks, like artillery, are the treasures of the People’s Army. Although there are now a lot of cannons, it is unforgivable for them to fall into the hands of the enemy. As for trucks, since they are mainly used for economic development, in addition to the five main armies, the ordinary infantry army only has less than a thousand vehicles, which basically only meets the passing configuration of one gun and two vehicles.
Naturally, the 8th Artillery Regiment accompanying him also ran away quickly, along with six field artillery batteries of two divisions equipped with 75mm field guns. In the defensive battle, field artillery was of little use, so it was better to call back the two regiments of the 9th Division, which had not many assisting troops, to defend the Imjin River.
Liu Yanji’s caution saved his regiment, or in other words, the artillery of two regiments. To be precise, cannons.
Fortunately, the commander of the 8th Artillery Regiment, Li Hongliang, also stayed with more than 600 people from the guard troops and regiment and battalion headquarters. There were more than 1,200 people from the two troops, including guards at all levels, correspondents, political personnel, and staff officers of the two regiments. A total of more than 500 guns were collected, including long and short guns for personnel and confidential personnel.
On average, less than two people have one!
Fortunately, there are 18 howitzers with sufficient ammunition.
All trucks have been withdrawn, which means that unless the enemy is defeated, it will be difficult to move these guns with these men alone. In other words, they had no intention of moving these cannons at all.
The decision of the two regiment commanders was to use this place as a nail, not only to give the retreating "unarmed" artillery and heavy troops time, but also to block the Japanese army's passage to the Imjin River as much as possible. Leave some safety behind when retreating. Although their own situation is very dangerous.
When the last truck left, a sky full of dust appeared in front of it. The troops in charge of reconnaissance have withdrawn: "The leading troops of the Japanese army, no less than a thousand people, have been attacking our troops."
Commander Li Hongliang was responsible for commanding all defense forces, while Commander Liu Yanji commanded his artillery.
It was at this time that I felt the benefits of the military rank system. Although the two forces were temporarily merged, Li Hongliang still organized a relatively orderly command hierarchy based on military ranks. He organized the defensive troops into four simplified companies, with one on the left, center, and right, and one for mobility. The temporary code names were No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 companies.
At the same time, personnel without guns are responsible for battlefield communication and rescue tasks, providing guidance to artillery or carrying ammunition.
Liu Yanji decomposed the tasks of each artillery company, agreed on the direction of support, and formulated a plan to build a gradual fire network. The four guns of each company are for direct fire suppression, and the two guns are for mobile support. All in all, it is to allow each combat unit to face the fewest enemies - after all, individual soldiers have too little firepower.
The dark crowd in the distance made Li Hongliang feel that this was a tough battle. For them, who mainly rely on artillery, they are not afraid of large numbers of people, but afraid of scattered people.
It is a bit difficult for a mere 18 guns to cover this position, which is basically a plain. What is most feared at the moment is its attack on the artillery behind one's own side - the artillery regiment is not good at individual combat, so it was redeployed. Except for the gunners, gunners and other professional gunners, all support manpower, once caught up by the Japanese army, will have no "armor" except for the cannons.The soldiers are just waiting to be slaughtered.
What’s even more frightening is that these Japanese troops will take advantage of the situation and approach the Imjin River. They need to give the rear as much time as possible.
They are determined to die.
In order to confuse the enemy, Li Hongliang arranged mobile personnel to raise clouds of dust on the position. Later, coupled with the fierce artillery fire, the Japanese army will not know the truth and the truth, and it is very likely that they will attack their own place first. This is exactly their purpose.
The second company, which was the most advanced, exchanged fire with the Japanese vanguard. This was an elite force that bypassed the 8th Division of the People's Army and was responsible for the attack on the Imjin River. After the Japanese army pretended to be defeated and allowed the 3rd Army to get into their pockets, they tightened the position while using their superior strength to quickly rush towards the back of the 3rd Army.
According to reconnaissance, there are only two infantry regiments stationed at Imjin River. The Japanese 3rd and 4th divisions each sent a brigade to attack this place, and the advantage was still huge.
However, after finally breaking through the 8th Division of the China Army, a large-scale China Army was suddenly found in front, which surprised Colonel Nakamura of the 8th Regiment. He is a very cautious commander and follows the consistent style of the Fourth Division.
The Fourth Osaka Division was established in 1888. Its soldiers are mainly composed of vegetable vendors in Osaka. It is one of the oldest divisions in the Japanese army.
This force has four regiments, equipped with first-class weapons and equipment, and can be called the "elite" of the Japanese army. However, not long after its establishment, the reputation of "coward" spread throughout the Japanese army. In particular, the Eighth Regiment, the core unit of the Fourth Division, was nicknamed "The Eighth Regiment Not Afraid of Defeat" because of its repeated defeats in the Russo-Japanese War.
Throughout ancient Japan, the basic social structure was that farmers were attached to land-owning princes (i.e. daimyo), and the princes were subordinate to the shogun (the emperor was a puppet in the hands of the shogun at that time). This long-term unchanged social structure has led to the formation of Japan's cultural characteristics of strict superior-subordinate relations and a spirit of obedience. It was also the psychological basis for the Japanese army's widespread fanatical "loyalty to the emperor" during World War II.
However, Osaka is a little different. This place is a famous commercial city. Most of the residents are related to business and have very limited respect for the princes. On the contrary, around issues such as exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes, the people of Osaka have been constantly fighting and bargaining with the princes for hundreds of years, let alone the so-called loyalty.
Therefore, like the generals and princes, the emperor's status in the hearts of Osaka people is also different from that in other places. Although these soldiers who were born in Osaka were also bewitched by militarism, Osaka people would not rush to "die for loyalty to the Emperor and die for the Empire of Japan" and would try their best not to die.
When dealing with orders from their superiors, officers and soldiers who were born in Osaka are also accustomed to "bargaining" and "careful calculations." They will not follow through with their eyes closed like other troops. The Fourth Division even formulated the so-called "Don't make unnecessary sacrifices" and "Don't make unnecessary sacrifices." The "Three Don'ts" principle is "Don't participate in unreasonable battles" and "Don't pursue enemy troops at the end of the road".
Japanese historian Yukisuke Seki made a short summary of the Fourth Division in the last part of "The First Useless Division of the Japanese Army", which makes some sense, "If the Japanese army were like the Fourth Division, Maybe there won’t be a war between China and Japan, right? If so, there won’t be a defeat for Japan"
So when Nakamura saw the dust in the sky and the black muzzle of the gun in the distance, he immediately ordered to stop advancing and prepare for defense.
Although making such an order in line with "combat regulations" is very difficult to understand for others, Nakamura has already explained: "The order is to rush across the Imjin River, but our regiment does not have the corresponding artillery support at all. On the plains, we The infantry cannot be allowed to brave artillery fire and make fearless charges. The infantry combat doctrine summarized after World War I has been written very clearly"
This precious stalemate time gave the People's Army artillery positions a chance to strengthen. But the good times didn't last long, and the 3rd company on the right wing came into conflict with a group of Japanese troops who came from behind. This group of Japanese troops was very fierce and they rushed over in groups without any fear of life or death.
This is the 6th Regiment of the 3rd Division, serving as the left attack.
The 3rd Division is one of the first seven most fierce divisions in Japan. It has participated in almost all major wars in modern Japan, including the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the Russo-Japanese War, Siberia, and Shandong. Originally, the 8th Division had a good chance of breaking out of the encirclement in the first round of fighting, but was brutally pushed back by the 3rd Division. Just because this step was slow, they were slightly slower than the 4th Division.
Seeing that the friendly troops were not moving, Colonel Aso, the captain of the 6th Regiment, was very angry. The Fourth Division is known as a "coward". This was the same behavior during the Russo-Japanese War. The Hochinese were so afraid of death that they actually had the nerve to claim to be one of the elite divisions of the Japanese army!
While he ordered the offensive, he sent someone to contact Nakamura: "Soldiers are very quick to defeat the Chinese army on the opposite side and seize the Imjin River for the headquarters' combat deployment. Please work with me, Mr. Nakamura, to quickly break the deadlock."
However, the news that came made him dumbfounded: "I did not receive an order to intercept the military attack on China!"
“ I have always heard about the misfortune of the Fourth Division, and now I have really seen it. If I had known this, I should have adjusted the missions of the elite 1st Division and 4th Division: Let the 4th Division, who is afraid of death, deceive and lure the enemy. It will definitely be both engaging and realistic! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??Please work with me to break the deadlock quickly. "
However, the news that came made him dumbfounded: "I did not receive an order to intercept the military attack on China!"

Chapter 899 I’m not afraid of you even if you fight with a bayonet
??
The Chinese army did not follow common sense and fight the Japanese army with bayonets. Instead, they relied on firepower to strike first and almost annihilated the Watanabe brigade with great joy, making Gumi twitch. There was only one infantry regiment left in his brigade, and now three of them were gone. How could he not be sad?
It is to continue the attack despite the rain of bullets from the opponent - according to the previous fighting style, the enemy on the opposite side only has so many machine guns. Regardless of how ferociously they fought, after just one meal, they would probably be just about seven, seven or eighty-eight.
But they will always have some bullets left, and if they attack again, they will always suffer heavy losses. This is equivalent to using human lives to consume their bullets! But according to estimates, the reinforcements and logistics of the Chinese Army will follow within one day at most. By then, the Japanese army, which has run out of ammunition and food, will be in catastrophe!
What’s even more frightening is that once the Chinese army stabilizes its front, it will stalemate with itself on the Imjin River. According to the strength of the Japanese army, once the Chinese reinforcements are in place, it will be extremely difficult to break through its defense lines in a short while. The surprise attack planned by Commander Kunihiko Kunihi for many days will come to nothing.
There is no other way, let’s fight! The good opportunity is fleeting, and it will be difficult for the Japanese army to have the upper hand in numbers and equipment. Gumi gritted his teeth, and the second brigade pressed forward again!
This kind of fearlessness made Captain Dong Shengtang take a breath. It's not that I'm afraid of them, but that such courage in battle is worthy of respect, even if they are their own enemies. The best reward for such an enemy is to let him die generously.
Then the sound of machine gunfire rang out again, and the Japanese troops still fell to the ground like chopped leeks, but the scene was a little more tragic. However, there was not much time to lament, because Dong Shengtang had already received panicked news from the frontline battalion headquarters: "Report to the commander, we are running out of bullets!"
Although the massacre is great, the waste of ammunition is also staggering. Half of the bullets were used when half of Watanabe's brigade was annihilated, and they were already exhausted when the second Japanese brigade was annihilated. However, the regiment's instruction was not to waste manpower on bayonets if there was only one bullet, so everyone fought with all their strength.
Dong Shengtang was not surprised. He calculated that the standard for a Japanese brigade was 1,100 people. Judging from the battlefield situation, a full 1,500 people had died on the spot. The Gumi Brigade is the remnant army that was missed before. The miscellaneous ones add up to a regiment of less than 4,000 people. It can be said that the Chinese military has severely damaged its spirit.
To this extent, the battle has been fought quite effectively. He had already dispatched communication personnel to report the situation here to the division headquarters. It is expected that due to such an important position, the division headquarters and the court would not remain indifferent. As a frontline commander, all I can do now is to hold on for a while longer and buy more time for the follow-up troops!
Thinking of this, he yelled: "Why are you panic! The Japanese dare to charge forward without bullets, but our swordsmen don't have the courage? Send an order to the whole group, gather the swordsmen as the forward, we will fight with them!"
The courage of the general will be great. The regiment leader said so, and his subordinates were naturally more courageous. The reason why the 100th Division is called the "Long Live Division" is because of the merits earned by the Broadsword Team in attacking the Japanese army not long ago. The entire division was honored by this honor. Inspired by this, each regiment and battalion formed their own sword teams of varying sizes, vowing to retain this honor to the end.
It’s time to see the truth again. At this time, no matter what, you can’t ruin your own situation. This is where the so-called military soul and spirit come from.
After sporadic gunfire, bayonets were hung on both sides. Whether he can avenge his humiliation, open a window for the friendly forces to break through, and reverse the unfavorable situation in the previous stage is Gumi's only chance to atone for his sins; and whether he can continue to write glory, stop the Japanese troops here, and comprehensively provide friendly forces with Controlling the battlefield and preserving the fruits of staged victory test the young people's officers and soldiers.
This will be a hard, fierce, and deadly battle.
?This is indeed the case. The Japanese 6th Division was an elite division. Although its main force was wiped out, its afterglow is still there. Although there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood in front of them, the Japanese army still mustered up their courage and rushed forward with roars.
"However, the murderous People's Army showed no signs of timidity at all. Regiment and battalion-level sword teams gathered together, numbering no less than a thousand people. The momentum of the swords drawn out in unison was enough to blind the Japanese army.
Even in the era of hot weapons, hand-to-hand combat is still inevitable. This kind of special warfare under special circumstances did not basically come to an end until the 1950s. During this period, the People's Army's assassination training has always been a focus.
Even though the PLA training syllabus canceled assassination training in the 1990s, more than ten years later, the new generation of military training syllabus implemented in 2009 listed assassination training as an optional training subject for the army and other military services. Special warfare reconnaissance, security forces and armed police forces are compulsory training subjects.
 Fighting raged in every corner. More than 800 swordsmen and 2,000 bayonets were involved with more than 2,000 Japanese troops. In the late 1920s, the largest battle in the history of modern warfare was carried out. Hand-to-hand combat.
Nakamura stared dumbly at the deadly fight between the two sides. In the previous battle, his unit also ran out of bullets. How to help teammates? The Eighth Regiment, which is "unafraid of defeat", does not have the courage to fight with the enemy with bayonets. If they can do this, how can they be afraid of death in other battles?
You must know that the tragedy of a close-range decisive battle is far greater than that of a long-distance exchange of fire. A single shot is enough to kill you. Not everyone can bear to see blood, limbs, and brains splashed face to face.
"Go crazy!" This was Nakamura's only thought before he could hold back vomiting. After a sharp outburst, Nakamura's mind became clearer: "The Chinese army has a huge advantage in numbers, and its equipment is as good as ours. Even better, he actually has such courage now, can the empire defeat such an army?"
For the first time, this idea lingered in the minds of the Japanese front-line commanders. ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 900 A strange combination of circumstances
A regiment of three thousand men managed to withstand the attack of half a Japanese regiment.
That regiment was decided by Nakamura after a fierce ideological struggle: since the war began, his regiment had neither successfully stopped the retreat of the 7th and 8th Divisions of the People's Army, nor eliminated the artillery regiment. The follow-up troops' pursuit cleared the obstacles, but failed to break through the Imjin River, causing turmoil in the People's Army's defense line.
Now that we have arrived at the Jinhua battlefield, if we just watch the defeat of the Gumi Brigade like this - with a small number of enemies and many enemies, facing the powerful Chinese army, I am afraid that he is no match - it will be difficult to explain in every aspect. .
This is how the Eighth Regiment, which has always been known for its "combat cunning", has the rare opportunity to join the battle group with all its strength. In fact, Nakamura's timing was also very good. He "brazenly" joined when the two teams were seriously injured.
Although hand-to-hand combat involves skills, most of it is considered physical work. No matter how brave you are, if several people join forces to fight you, even if you are a hero in a martial arts novel, it will be difficult for you to resist a well-trained army. So when the 8th Regiment joined, the battle quickly turned in the favor of the Japanese.
Fortunately, the terrain here is not open. Although the Japanese army has a large number of people, it is unable to form an advantage in specific operations with more troops fighting fewer troops. But with close to one-to-one consumption, it is only a matter of time before the entire group is killed.
At this critical moment, Nakamura suddenly issued a retreat order. Although the people who were fighting fiercely didn't know what was going on, the Japanese army quickly left the battle due to military orders. Dong Shengtang was breathing heavily - he had also gone into battle in person and was about to die for his country right here.
At this time, there is no need to worry about any treacherous plots of the Japanese army: based on experience, it will not happen, otherwise as long as the fight continues like this, there will be no problem with the Japanese army's victory. Regarding their retreat, he had a feeling of being saved from a desperate situation, and he also thought that a big change must have occurred.
Gumi asked Nakamura angrily: "Nakamura-kun! Why do you have to retreat?!" The 8th Regiment is the main force. If they withdraw, this battle will no longer need to be fought. However, with victory clearly within reach, why did Nakamura suddenly decide to retreat and do so in such a hurry?
Nakamura was very confident this time: "General, my scouts reported that a large Chinese army appeared on my right wing, less than five miles away from here. Its designation is the 2nd Army, which should be the one who left Huachuanli. Troops. We are out of ammunition and food. There is really no need to die."
Gumi didn’t believe it: “This place is separated by the Bukhan River and Mount Kumgang. Did the Chinese army fly over? And they know how to calculate, do they know that we are fighting with bayonets here?!”
It’s not someone who flew over, but someone who ran over; it’s someone who doesn’t know how to calculate, but Song Jiuling, commander of the 2nd Army, who knows how to calculate.
As a veteran who has followed Zhang Hanqing for many years, Song Jiuling is fully capable of standing alone. Before the war, he had served as the deputy commander of the Lanzhou Military Region. If it were not for the fact that as the commander, Yu Zhen had a higher seniority in the Feng army and was once his own Zhang Hanqing, who was the superior of the Guards Brigade when he started, would replace him without hesitation.
After entering North Korea, the 2nd Army, which served as the fist of eastern North Korea, has broken through Mount Kumgang on the east coast and partially entered the territory of Mount Seorak. If not for Ji Xing's sudden arrival, Song Jiuling would not have ordered to stop the advance to Zhaoyang River.
The attack to the north bank of the Soyang River, together with the Bukhan River, formed a north-south boundary in central Korea. This was the strategic decision of the Chaosi, and it was also a brilliant move by a group of military bigwigs such as Marshal Zhang Hanqing and Defense Minister Jiang Baili. Both politically and They are of great military value. The 3rd Army heard that it had broken through the Han River. If the two armies met at the North Han River, the Korean War would basically be over.
But Jixing came and told him a shocking result: the entire 3rd Army was wiped out!
Song Jiuling took the map. Although he generally had an ominous premonition, but after paying close attention to the battle route between the two armies, he still asked angrily: "How did you end up in such a great situation?"
It’s like playing chess, if you make one careless move, you will lose everything. The Japanese army should have been in a hurry, but now it has asked the People's Army of all stripes to mend the holes. How can it not be very angry?
And the situation is very serious: if the Linjin River is lost, it is equivalent to letting the enemy go straight to your weak belly; if Jinhua is lost, there will be no danger to defend for hundreds of miles behind, which will be great fun. The Japanese army can launch feints in several directions, enough to make more than three or five troops restless.
??The Imjin River is beyond our reach, so we can’t control so much now. I guess the court will make arrangements, right? Jinchuan, which is closest to me, must help defend it no matter what, at least a piece of it. Therefore, Song Jiuling urgently telegraphed the enemy's situation to his commander, and ordered the nearest 4th Division to turn west, swim lightly across the Beihan River, and advance towards Jinhua.
The unit detected by Nakamura was the vanguard of the 4th Division. Fortunately, he lacked ammunition and took the initiative to avoid it, leaving the already exhausted and uncarried troops behind.The firepower of the 4th Division was approaching Jinhua City safely.
The heroic scene in front of you is unforgettable: everywhere you look, there are broken walls and ruins; everywhere you touch, there are ditches with corpses of wounded soldiers.
After learning about the situation of the Japanese army, the 4th Division decided to conduct a tentative attack. As a result, the two teams of Nakamura and Gumi ran all the way, crossing the Hwachuan River without entering, and fled to Chuncheon, the important town at the junction of Soyang River and Bukhan River, with The first unit of the 20th Regiment of the Japanese 4th Division, which had already heard the news and responded, met up and stabilized after receiving supplies.
This unexpected battle allowed the Second Army to calmly control a large area north of the Soyang River. Not only did it achieve its previous strategic goals, it also made progress in central Korea, restraining the Japanese troops in Seoul from moving too far toward Linlin. Jinjiang increased troops.
It was then that we learned that the main force of the 100th Division had arrived at the Imjin River and was holding on to the line of defense with the two remaining divisions of the 3rd Army. In this way, the People's Army's defense line was re-formed with Panmunjeom, Shintan, and Jinhua as the main axes, while the Japanese army deployed defenses along the Han River, Bukhan River, and Soyang River with Seoul and Chuncheon as the main axes.
Both sides formed a posture of mobilizing troops on each other's left side. In fact, neither side was able to go further, and the situation has gradually stabilized.
On the contrary, fierce fighting is going on in the east and west Korea Bay rear areas, but the two sides facing each other can't control this for the time being. However, because the Japanese opponents are the elite 27th and 29th armies of the People's Army, even if there are two divisions on both sides, they will not take advantage at all. But fortunately, behind them is the dominant Japanese navy and a steady stream of maritime forces. Supplies, it is not easy for the People's Army to drive them into the sea.
??From the conflict between China and Japan in Huichun on August 1 to the present, the Japanese army has lost troops and territory in less than three months, which has shocked all parties. In addition to the 4 divisions that were completely annihilated or mainly annihilated, the Japanese army has invested 7 army divisions in North Korea, accounting for most of the 17 divisions.
The prospect of a continuing stalemate in the war made the Japanese General Staff Headquarters feel the need to step up its efforts. They plan to expand the army in accordance with the requirements of the armament outline, that is, add 100 to the numbers of the original 20 divisions, and create 20 new divisions to be put into the Korean battlefield. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 901 Stalemate
Faced with the People's Army's successive victories, Japan has the intention to continue to move south. However, Japan's current army strength in North Korea is no longer able to resist this pace. An atmosphere of disappointment and pessimism gradually enveloped Japan. Therefore, the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters's army expansion proposal is extremely tempting.
But first of all, it is not tolerated by the political party forces.
As we all know, Japan's political party politics has not been established for a long time. It was basically established during the "Taisho War". Its foundation is not solid, and militarist forces are constantly using various means to obstruct or infiltrate power. among the various parties. If the military is expanded, it means that the country will return to the old path of military group control, which is related to the life and death of party politics.
Therefore, both the Constitutional Friendship Association and the Constitutional Democratic Party have suppressed this.
Prime Minister Tanaka Giichi, the president of the Riken Seiyukai, clearly expressed his opposition. His reason is: the fierce war has stretched the few foreign exchange reserves, and most importantly, the steel and oil related to the national economy and people's livelihood have been completely consumed. The war cannot continue without a large amount of replenishment, and expanding the war means that Japan's trade lines may be completely broken.
Because according to the rules of international law, if two countries declare war, a third country cannot provide strategic materials, which also means participating in the war. The United States can use this reason to impose an embargo on Japan. This is what the U.S. Navy has been trying to do for many years.
It’s not that the Japanese political circles don’t want to accept Zhang Hanqing’s olive branch, but how much benefit can diplomatic negotiations after losing troops and generals have to Japan? Japan, which is good at this, has always used the prestige of victory to seek bargaining points in diplomacy. Now under such circumstances, who can guarantee that it will gain benefits from bargaining?
The Japanese military and political circles had an in-depth discussion on this, and finally came to the conclusion that negotiations must be accepted, but only after a great victory. In view of the fact that the Army's standoff cannot be decided for a moment, deterrence against China from the sea is gradually accepted by all parties. Unlike on land, where there are changes in terrain, transportation, and various battles, at sea, equipment and training speak for themselves.
In order to contain the People's Army from moving south, the military department has also re-emphasized the naval power gap between Japan and China.
The war continues. In order to ensure Japan's last base on the Asian continent and its strategic springboard for advancing into Asia, the Japanese military has planned a nationwide military mobilization. In the past few days, the elite First Fleet of the Japanese Navy has been arranged to attack the Chinese coast, especially the Bohai Bay, in order to threaten the important areas in China's Gyeonggi Province and to contain the Korean People's Army.
In the recent competition in the Bohai Bay, the young Chinese Navy showed off its capabilities and caused the Japanese Navy to suffer a heavy loss. The Chinese Marine Corps captured the crucial Changshan Islands.
Taking this as an opportunity, the Chinese navy blocked the channels in and out of the Bohai Bay. Without obtaining this line of communication, Japan's huge naval power cannot pose a substantial threat to the Chinese army.
Changshan Islands is located in the southeast of the Liaodong Peninsula and the north of the Yellow Sea. It has a total of 114 islands, covering an area of ??about 155 square kilometers and a total population of about 80,000. The Changshan Islands control the northern part of the Yellow Sea and protect the Liaodong Peninsula. They have very important military value in defending Northeast my country and have always been a battleground for military strategists.
In 1894, the Battle of the Yellow Sea during the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 was fought in the northeastern waters of the Changshan Islands. The Japanese army first controlled the Changshan Islands and then landed at Huayuankou, Zhuanghe.
In 1904, during the Japan-Russia War, the Japanese combined fleet anchored near the Changshan Islands, fought with the Russian fleet, and then landed on the coast of Liaoning.
From 1931 to 1941, the Japanese army captured Changshan Islands twice. In the anti-aggression war to build the Yellow Sea defense line, Changshan Islands has important strategic significance.
After the last encounter in the Bohai Sea, the Changshan Islands were already under the control of the Chinese navy. After simple repairs, a heavy artillery regiment landed on the island, backed by the main force of the Bohai Fleet stationed in Lushun Bay and the naval aviation from Dalian, which seriously threatened the Japanese navy's activities in the West Korea Bay.
With this heavy artillery regiment, the weak Bohai Fleet can harass lone Japanese ships or transport ships at any time without risk of defeat within the range of the artillery.
As for the deep advance to Beijing and Tianjin, it has been quite difficult after the loss of Dalian. The reason is that the Chinese Navy also uses the Miaodao Islands as a defense line and relies on heavy artillery to defend the waterways from the Yellow Sea to the Bohai Bay. The Japanese navy is powerful, but they are not so stupid when warships approach and confront shore batteries.
The Miaodao Islands are located in the Bohai Strait at the junction of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. They are the bridge between the Shandong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, the throat of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, and the gateway to Beijing and Tianjin. They are composed of 32 large and small islands, covering an area of ??52 square kilometers. It belongs to a hilly area with many islands in the south and buffered bank slopes. The northern shore is steep and the water is deep. The western islands are mostly rocky shores.??Eight generations of our ancestors have been scolded so much that they got up in public.
From top to bottom, Chinese people are really suppressing Japanese products! So much so that foreign observers have published articles one after another, believing that China has achieved a major reversal in the past fifty years by trampling Japan under its feet: national strength, morale, and popular support.
This is also one of the reasons why the Japanese government is hesitant to expand the scale of the war with China, because Zhang Hanqing issued a shocking statement on behalf of the People's Party and the People's Government: "If Japan insists on dividing the Korean battlefield, Victory or failure, if Japan adds more troops to the Korean battlefield, the Chinese government will not hesitate to launch military mobilization. There is news that Japan will expand its troops by 20 divisions. What kind of threat is this! Do you think you can increase our troops? "?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 902 Encounter
Faced with the cynicism of the Kuomintang leader, Japan rarely lost its mind. Yes, China has a population of 480 million, while Japan only has 60 million. Using manpower is the last resort anyway.
But we can’t just let it go! Japan was first driven out of China and then defeated in Korea. All the processes in between were clearly seen by the European and American field inspection teams who came to watch the battle. The disastrous defeat was second to none. The tall image that Japan had finally established in the minds of white people could not be lost!
You won’t have to “leave Asia and join Europe” first and then be beaten back to your original shape, right?
Although the Japanese government did not respond directly to the truce proposed by China, their fighting in the East and West Korea Bay has significantly weakened. Naturally, Zhang Hanqing had no intention of driving them into the sea, so he would just waste them like this, as long as they were not attacked at home.
But inside the Japanese Navy Command, there was a tense atmosphere. The solemnity before the war was written on the faces of everyone entering and exiting.
The Naval Military Command is the Naval Command, and the Army Command is called the Staff Headquarters. Is this the name that the Japanese Army insists on in order to highlight its traditional superiority over the Navy? It is a strange scar all over the world: the "original" department belongs to the army, and the "military order" department only manages the navy.
A decisive battle on land is untimely and there is no confidence in victory. After all, China is a large country with a vast territory, and the previous fierce battle has proved her strength. In order to open up the situation as soon as possible, the Japanese navy, ranked third in the world, was ordered to set out to fight a few victorious battles along the coast of China to regain face, and then negotiate with China decently.
The sea and land have been fighting wits and courage for decades, and now it’s our navy’s turn to show off its skills.
As long as the situation can be broken, in the future competition for military expenditures and the policy formulation of "go south or go north", the "go south policy" with the navy as the mainstay will unsurprisingly be regarded as a national policy. This is a great benefit to the navy, so as the joint fleet It is not surprising that Admiral Naoma Taniguchi, the commander and commander-in-chief of the First Fleet, ambitiously dispatched his huge main fleet to the Yellow Sea.
Before World War II, the commander of the Combined Fleet had been concurrently serving as the commander-in-chief of the First Fleet.
As the first fleet in Asia with the "King Kong" class heavy battleships and the "Fengxiang" aircraft carrier built in 1922, which is considered the world's first standard aircraft carrier, and hundreds of warships of various types, it crushes the young China The navy was not a problem at all. Although the Chinese navy had made great achievements not long ago, everyone believed that this was a coincidence and that the commander of the squadron, Rear Admiral Zhi Shang, underestimated the enemy.
The loss of one light cruiser and four small-tonnage destroyers is a drop in the bucket for the huge Japanese fleet. This also shows the gap between the Chinese navy and maritime powers.
To be honest, although Zhang Hanqing has been preaching to the top brass of the Navy that the era of "giant ships and artillery" will be replaced by sea-air integration, but because the performance of aircraft and precision-guided bombs in this era are far from being born, whether the Chinese Navy, which is taking a unique path, will It is still unknown whether it can suddenly emerge and complete the path that other countries have taken for decades or even centuries.
The young marshal who was far away in Beijing could not feel the pressure of the Japanese navy on China. Chen Jiliang, who served as the temporary commander-in-chief of the 1st Destroyer Fleet, who was the protagonist of the Yellow Sea Breakthrough War, was really shocked. When he saw the huge force breaking through the waves, "Hiei" armored cruiser.
The two sides calmly deployed their formations after patrol aircraft and warships discovered each other. Although Japan had a huge advantage and had the experience of going straight to the 17th Squadron, it still cautiously and slowly pushed towards the Chinese naval fleet. As long as they don't play any tricks, the Japanese army can defeat any, one, or all Chinese naval ships or fleets on the frontal battlefield.
"Hiei" jumped in front and acted as a fleet assault.
This is a big ship with a standard displacement of 27,500 tons, which is nearly 10,000 tons more than the total tonnage of the entire 1st Destroyer Fleet. The First Destroyer Fleet is the best and strongest among China's current six destroyer fleets!
Because except for the two "Jiujiang" class destroyers that serve as the flagships of the 5th and 6th destroyer fleets, and the 6-class destroyers that make up the not-full 4th destroyer fleet, all the destroyers are in it, and the flagships are also China's current tonnage The largest cruiser "Haichen", and also added a seaplane aircraft carrier "Zhenhai".
"Haichen" and "Zhenhai" are both former Qing Dynasty ships, but they have no choice but to use them first. The only ones that can be considered in line with the world are these 10 "Jiujiang" class destroyers, with a displacement of only 1,200 tons!
Facing the menacing Japanese fleet, Chen Jiliang frowned.
It’s not that he is afraid. It is the ambition of every Chinese naval officer to lead the navy in a life-and-death struggle with the enemy. This is why he, as the director of the Naval Political Department, took the initiative to “decentralize” to the grassroots fleet. However, courage cannot replace the gap in equipment. Only the guns of the "Jiujiang" class destroyer can? inch, with a caliber of a little over 100 mm, hitting the "Hiei" just scratched it.
But the opponent is different. As long as it hits, that thin little body will sink with one shot next to the opponent's 356 mm caliber, without any hesitation.
So even though China dispatched the main force of the Bohai Fleet, they still had to hide and seek in the face of the Japanese single-ship advantage. Fortunately, the new type of destroyer "Jiujiang Class" is relatively fast and can escape as soon as it encounters them.
Fleet decisive battles are not the strength of the People's Army Navy. The training syllabus also requires that we try to avoid fighting with superior enemies, but to develop the potential of "air, submarine, and speed" to deliver a comprehensive strike to the enemy. Now the "fast" characteristic has been brought into play, but it is not a "fast" attack, but a quick escape.
The maximum speed of the "Hiei" is 27.5 knots. It cannot catch up with the "Jiujiang" class, but it can catch up with the "Haichen".
As for the "Zhenhai", because of its speed, it has been used as a reconnaissance aircraft base for the fleet. It does not follow the fleet closely, but always lags far behind. Anyway, it uses a carrier-based seaplane to work. It is useless to rush ahead. If there is a sound of retreat in front, it will leave early. The stupid bird will fly first.
By comparison, the "Haichen"'s speed of 19.5 knots is not enough. Fortunately, the distance between the two sides was still quite far, and the Chinese warships had enough time to run to a safe zone - the Changdao Islands controlled by the shore artillery regiment.
It was really a "swift" effort. Seeing the Chinese warships fleeing as soon as they encountered each other (in fact, they had not yet encountered each other), the Japanese soldiers on the "Hiei" laughed proudly. Those guys on the mainland made the Chinese people so mysterious and heroic, but they didn't even have the courage to fight, so how could they have morale?
As a "King Kong"-class armored cruiser, it mainly serves as the core leader of the torpedo fleet that attacks and weakens the opponent's strength before the main battle of the fleet. When necessary, it can be incorporated into the battleships for coordinated operations. In a word, it is just the flagship of the non-main fleet. There are four ships of the same level.
For such a warship to "break without contact", when facing the more powerful battleships "Ise" and "Fuso", are the Chinese warships going to escape to the sky? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
Chapter 934 Crash
Having said all that, Ruan Lingyu has nothing to say. However, there are still some things that she doesn't want to complain about.
"Young Marshal, why did you choose me?"
She tilted her head slightly and smiled with her signature expression, a little shy, and she looked happy. However, perhaps because he knew her miserable ending, Zhang Hanqing always felt that there seemed to be a trace of forced joy in that expression, which made people feel like I I feel pity when I see him.
Looking at her eyes, her eyes were big and bright, without any philistine air. Zhang Hanqing felt that it was better to show it directly, otherwise it would be a kind of torture to this soft and beautiful woman: "Just because I like you," he said He smiled slightly and said, "Can't you?"
This was the second time he said this. Ruan Lingyu was flustered for a while. She didn't know whether she should be surprised or not, or whether she should refuse or how to refuse. She stammered: "But I already have friends and we live together now."
Zhang Hanqing only remembers that her tragedy was caused by her cohabiting boyfriend, which caused this tragic woman like a flower to not meet a good man at the most vulnerable time in her life, thus causing her life to end abruptly at a flower-like age. It has left countless mysteries and sighs to posterity.
Even though the mountain-like Emperor Puyi was just a rockery, wasn't he moved away like a fool, leaving the queen's beauty for him to admire alone? What kind of aura can Ruan Lingyu's man have?
So he said quietly: "I know, so what? If you feel happy, I will not force you to do anything. My women are all voluntary!" He said majestically, full of righteousness and responsibility.
“ If Ruan Lingyu knew a little bit about Zhang Hanqing, she could immediately use Wanrong’s example to fight against him. It's a pity that although Wanrong was forced at first, later on, she was willing to follow the young commander.
This matter was probably only known to a few people in the inner circle, but later on, even the most picky moralists had to admit this: Wanrong's performance in the divorce case had completely fallen to Zhang Hanqing. Handsome and seductive girls are all voluntary rather than forced.
Ruan Lingyu pursed her lips tightly, and there was a war between heaven and man in her heart. The young marshal looked up to the fourth young master of the Zhang family, one in the sky and one on the ground. Maybe the young marshal was just born out of his beauty, but at least he could be regarded as a talented and handsome man who could make people willing to be deceived, far better than Zhang Damin, a clumsy and scoundrel man.
You must know that although Zhang Damin, as a young master, supported her at first, after a few months, it was she who used her meager income from the film company to support his debauchery. This kind of man is unreliable.
Zhang Hanqing seemed to know that she was hesitating, and said while the iron was hot: "I know you have pursuits. If you are willing, I can let you continue acting, and I can also make you the most famous actor in China through influence. Of course, with your ability, It can be done, but if I come forward, you can get twice the result with half the effort."
Feeling that there was some dirty trade in power and sex, he changed his tone: "I will not force others to do anything. Even if you refuse, I will let you get ahead. For no other reason than to make your life better."
“Perhaps it’s because he has experienced too many beauties, or because of his status, it’s particularly easy to get to know beauties. In short, in the ten years since time travel, he has developed aesthetic fatigue. Also, almost no one refused the plain request, except Lin Huiyin, which made him lose sight of his beauty and focus more on fighting for power and profit in the world of men.
Even the two sisters in Shanghai are just a way to relax after work. What he enjoys more is the feeling of stepping on the so-called wealthy family under his feet, and enjoying the scene of the so-called famous ladies courting under him. Of course, having mutual political and economic needs is another aspect. This is his inner activity, which will never be known to outsiders.
So there was the Hu Tian Hu Di with Tang Yiying and the overlord who had a hard fight with the queen, and there was also the ridiculous thing with Kawashima Yoshiko. Slowly, the bad taste of men in Zhang Hanqing's heart began to sprout. He was no longer satisfied with the ordinary life style, and wanted to conquer it.
Conquer everything that has not been conquered before, such as Ruan Lingyu as an actor, or there will be others in the future.
Where will Ruan Lingyu go?
No one knew what she was thinking about at this moment. Anyway, during a long and suffocating silence, her mind flashed back to her widowed mother’s busy background, Zhang Damin’s disgusting face, the hardship of life, and other people’s feelings. The cold look, and the contempt and laughter of the unknown lady.
"There is heaven on one side and hell on the other. They have the same shady identity, but who are you following? Do you need to ask?" But, how can you tell such an embarrassing thing?
Looking at Ruan Lingyu's pretty face, she couldn't help but touch a certain string in her body. I don't know when, he has walked to Ruan Lingyu's houseBeside him, he stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms.
Ruan Lingyu was someone who had been there before, so she knew what she was going to do next, and her heart suddenly lifted. Under his strong hands, she couldn't break free, and she wouldn't break free.
What you can reach is the smooth cheongsam and the slightly trembling body; what you can see are the looming bumps inside and the delicate beauty that is so red. At this moment, Zhang Hanqing wanted to eat her here, even though he and Mrs. Yuanbei had been tossing for a long time yesterday. Somewhere in him began to feel angry, and some of his organs began to fail.
He can be shameless, but Ruan Lingyu will not follow him. Ruan Lingyu was shocked to notice the changes in his lower body. No matter how small a family she was, she was still well-educated and courteous. She showed off her prostitution during the day in the young marshal's office. Maybe it seemed like a romantic thing to the young marshal, but she would never dare to do it.
Dodge? Zhang Hanqing remembered that classic line again, and he said affectionately in her ear: "Shh, no one will come even if you break your throat!"
"We had a good relationship with Wanrong at first, and this time we will go to Wushan with this woman, one of the four beauties of the Republic of China, who is also known as Lin Huiyin. It seems that it is really a good joke, and it is almost unfavorable.
As Zhang Ailing's famous saying said: "A woman will never fall in love with a man she thinks is pitiful. A woman's love for a man must be a little bit of admiration." For Ruan Lingyu, the man next to her has an ear-to-ear relationship. Although it looks very sexy, it has its own merits.
He is sunny, handsome and not angry, he has a great reputation and a poet's feelings, his literary and martial arts skills are at their peak, and he is deeply loved by the people. Being his woman feels not a loss but a gain, not a humiliation but a pride.
She quickly fell under the offensive of his upper and lower hands pressing closely. Now she was only worried that his men would not push the door in. She was already prepared to cater to him.
But the door still opened.
Zhang Hanqing, who was in high spirits, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him from head to toe. Ruan Lingyu also screamed and pushed him away desperately. They were clearly told not to enter without orders, so why would anyone come in?
He turned his head and looked around. Standing at the door was Liao Yaquan, who was half-smiling but not smiling. Behind him was Tan Hai, the captain of the guard who looked embarrassed. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
